The Walking Dead (2010–…): Season 10, Episode 17 - Home Sweet Home - full transcript

Maggie has returned with a story she is not ready to share, even when her past catches up to her. Negan's safety is at stake again. Daryl and Maggie fight an unseen and unknown threat.

[ LYDIA]
My mother sent a message..

No!

..That set everything in motion.

For a long time, I thought
her way was the only way.

It was survival,
walking with the dead.

But I woke up, and I saw
a different way of life --

One filled with love
and hope, civilization.

Brace!

It's what we thought to protect,

Whatever the cost.

Rggh, augh!



Right or wrong,
carol's plan worked.

Negan infiltrated the whisperers,

Gained my mother's trust,
and killed their alpha.

But a new leader rose,

And the fight continued...

...It took all of us.

Old friends returned
and made us stronger.

♪♪

Argh!

United, we sacrificed everything
for a brighter tomorrow...

And we won.

[zombies growling]

Now, we're on the verge
of something else.

[Man:]
Hands in the air, now!



A bigger world

Filled with endless
possibilities and uncertainty.

This is your last chance!

[Judith:]
I could have gotten that walker.

You are your mother's daughter.

My dad's, too.

♪♪

What'd you tell rj?

Well.
I took him to the roof.

The sky was full of stars,

And I told him right now,

Mom's looking at
the very same stars as us.

I said the same to hershel.

Even thought it myself
about all of you.

'cause it's true.

She's out there.

Under the same sky.

She is.

♪♪

[sighs]
this should do it.

[Man:]
Push off.Yeah?

Hi.
Hey.

Gabriel and rosita just left
with the first group.

Did oceanside give an answer?

Yes, and they'll take some.

Luke's gathering up about
a dozen of them.

We can take the rest.

[footsteps approach]
hi.

Hey.
[ Man:]
Maggie.

♪♪

Who's that?

These are my people.

Is everybody okay?

Hershel's fine.

Don't worry.

Everyone else?

Holding tight at the rendezvous.

Let's bring them back.

Come on.
I want you to meet my friends.

Carol, daryl --elijah and cole.

Hershel and I were living
with their people

Until recently.

We lost the village.

And now we need to live with you.

I thought
I'd take them to hilltop.

♪♪

What is it?

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

[ Carol:]
Maggie.

♪♪

Negan was with the whisperers.

That night.

I wanted you to hear it
from me, because --

It was you?

♪♪

You let him out?

Alpha needed to die,

And negan was our best chance.

♪♪

We were gonna lose everything.

♪♪

Negan's a reason we didn't.

♪♪

So, what now?

What?

Everyone's just supposed to
go to...What was it?

Alexandria.
Right.

So, we all go to alexandria

And live next door to the guy
who torched this place?

Same guy who killed her husband --

Is that right?

We're still figurin' things out.

Thanks for telling me.

We need to get to hershel
and the others.

You didn't have to do that.

I did.
I owe her that much.

I'll go with her,
try to smooth things over.

She's never gonna come around
on him, you know.

Have you?

It's good to see her, though.

Yeah.

[footsteps depart]

[sighs]

[birds chirping]

Daryl!

Hold on!

You're gonna pick up
maggie's people, right?

Yeah.

I wanna come with you.

You're gonna cover some
new ground where we could...

You know, keep an eye out,
for connie.

Come on.

♪♪

♪♪

Hey.

The town marked the shelter
at about 10 miles east.

Too far out of the way.

We might not hit anything else
before dark.

Let's keep going.

♪♪

About a half hour left,
boss.

If we're lucky.

We can go a little longer.

No, we can't.

It's getting dark.

We shouldn't be out here.

[walkers growling]

[banging]

Okay.

[ Kelly:]
Okay?

Okay what?

You mean stay here?

We should go up in the woods,

Find higher ground.

[growling, banging continues]

I think we'll all sleep better

In some shelter.

Alright.

Okay.
So, all we have to do

Is clear this whole parking lot
full of sickos

And hole up for the night?

No sweat.

[muffled growling, banging]

Alright, so,

♪♪

[crickets chirping]

[door opens]

It's all clear.

Cole's on watch.

Okay. Good.

Hey, I'm glad you're here.

When your letters stopped,
I thought,

I don't know,
maybe you were gone.

I wasn't close to the drop
for a long time.

But when I was...

Well, when I was,
I just didn't stop.

[sighs]

What happened out there?

Well...

You know, georgie had
all these good ideas.

With things going so well
at hilltop,

The idea of doing that
for others felt good.

So, we'd find groups
and do what we could.

But it'd always go sideways.

She still out there?
Georgie?

I don't know.

We were in this little place
near knoxville

A couple summers ago.

I had this group.

We taught them
to reroute water, build a forge.

She heard about this city
out west,

So she and the twins went
out there to check it out,

And I stayed back with hershel.

And not long after,
the place fell and we ran,

And I haven't seen her since.

What happened to your group?

Their village?

Not now.

Alright.

It's actually good
to say some of it out loud.

I just can't say all of it,
you know?

I know.

♪♪

I almost came home after knoxville.

Maybe I should've.

♪♪

Maybe I should've.

♪♪

Why didn't you?

We, uh...

♪♪

...Took a detour.

♪♪

My nana had this place
by the ocean.

♪♪

After bethie died,

Glenn and I talked about
going there.

Not forever,
just for a little while.

We never did.

♪♪

But I thought hershel could.

He loved it.

[sighs]

Waves twice his size
knocking him to the ground.

He just bounced right back up,
laughing.

[both chuckle]

[chuckles]

We watched the sunrise,

Watched the water
crashing against the rocks.

♪♪

It was so peaceful.

Hardly any walkers.

♪♪

And then one night,
we stayed up really late

And told him stories
about his family.

Beth and shawn and...

His granddaddy.

♪♪

He asked how his daddy died.

♪♪

I knew he would.

I knew it was coming.

♪♪

I told him
that a bad man killed him.

♪♪

He wanted to know

If that man
got what he deserved.

He wanted to know
if that man was dead.

♪♪

[sniffles]

♪♪

Truth is,
I left home

Because I couldn't have negan

Taking up any more space
in my head...

And then I realized

I didn't want to bring hershel
back to that.

♪♪

Then the next morning,
we met...

This whole community of people

Who needed us
as much as we needed them.

♪♪

And it felt like it was meant to be.

♪♪

But that's over, too.

You could come on home.

♪♪

It's not decided with negan.

Not yet.

And what carol did,
she --

What she felt she had to.

Mm.

♪♪

God knows what I would have done
if I was there.

♪♪

I'm next door if you need me,
alright?

♪♪

♪♪

[sighs]
[door opens, closes]

♪♪

[birds chirping]

[door creaks]

Time to go.

[door creaks]

Damn.

I actually got some shut eye
in that rust coffin.

[walker growling]

Hey, isn't your friend
supposed to be on watch?

You left your post.

[Kelly:]
Sorry, I just...

You can't go running off
by yourself like that.

Her sister's missing.

He just lost his, too.

We have to go.

I just had to check.

[Maggie:]
Kelly's sister --
she still out there?

I don't know.

I hope so.

Thing is, I went looking for her
so many times.

But people are just gone,
you know?

Even if you find 'em,

Doesn't mean you get 'em back.

Maybe it's best if she don't know.

No, she should.

My dad used to say,

"a wound can't heal
'til it hits air."

You know that ain't true, right?

Medicine wise.

He always made it
sound like it was.

Yeah.

We're almost there.

Can't wait for you to meet hershel.

Hey.

♪♪

No.

♪♪

♪♪

Shit.

It's them.

They found us.

♪♪

♪♪

♪♪

Hershel?

No!

♪♪

They must've followed us,
maggie.

We were so damn careful.

I don't know how,
but...

It's them.

They're out here.
We don't know that.

Two of our people are dead,
maggie.

Where the hell's everyone else?

Fire's out.

Why haven't they come back?

It's the reapers.

What's a reaper?

The people who attacked our home.

[ Elijah:]
Came outta nowhere.

Wiped out anything in their way.

They're here --
enough.

♪♪

We need
to get our heads on straight.

Find our people.

Find my son.

♪♪

♪♪

They're scattered.

Definitely running.

All headed north.

These...
These people...

If it's them...

We'll find them.

All of them.

♪♪

Any more kids in your group?

That's him.

Come on.

Stay quiet and alert.

If anything's out there
that isn't our people,

We kill it.

[walker shrieks, knife plunges,

[bird cawing]

Trail splits.

Hershel?

I lost him.

Someone could have
picked him up, though.

What now?

We split up the group.

No way.

My people are out there.

Splitting up is
the fastest way to find them.

And what if
something finds us?

Stay alive.

Keep heading north.

We'll catch up with you.

Come on.
Let's go.

Thank god.

Sorry.

♪♪

What happened?

Everything was fine,

And then the whole place
was suddenly on fire.

You see who did it?
No.

We just ran.

Jen and billy --
they didn't make it out.

And something in the woods
took out matty,

But we didn't get a clear look.

We know who did it.

Goddamn reapers.

They're in these woods
hunting us one by one.

Where's hershel?
Kim had him.

He's out here,
somewhere.

It's been hours.

You're the first people we've seen.

Who's older?

You or your sister?

Connie is.

I came as a...

Surprise for our parents.

By that point,
they were too tired.

Connie always kept an eye on me.

Even once she had her own life...

...She shared it with me.

Tried to take care of me.

You had a sister,
too, right?

You're the oldest?

How'd you know?

I can just tell sometimes.

You seem like
you've been in charge of people

Your whole life.

You protect them.

Just like my sister.

I hope
I get to meet her someday.

You will.

You alright?

Yeah.

It's real quiet out there.

For now.

Hey, that guy knew he was a dead man.

He was just messing with you.

Maybe.

We'll stay here a few more days.

Sweep the grounds,
make sure he was alone.

Nothing follows us
back to alexandria.

We'll take the long way back.

Cover our tracks.

Does this mean you're coming home?

These people deserve one.

So does hershel.

I'll deal with negan
if I have to.

Right now, the only thing
that matters is alexandria.
