The Walking Dead (2010–…): Season 2, Episode 7 - Pretty Much Dead Already - full transcript

Hey. Where'd you go?

I'm here.

Um, guys.

So.

The barn is full of walkers.

(SNARLING)

(EXHALES)

You cannot tell me you're
all right with this.

No, I'm not, but we're guests here.
This isn't our land.

- God, this is our lives, man!
- Lower your voice.

ANDREA: We can't just
sweep this under the rug.



SHANE: It ain't right.
Not remotely.

We've either got to go in there,

we've got to make things right,
or we've just got to go.

Now we have been talking about
Fort Benning for a long time.

- We can't go.
- Why, Rick? Why?

Because my daughter
is still out there.

Okay.

Okay, I think it's time that we all start
to just consider the other possibility.

Shane, we're not
leaving Sophia behind.

I'm close to finding this girl. I just
found her damn doll two days ago.

You found her doll, Daryl. That's
what you did. You found a doll.

You don't know what the
hell you're talking about.

SHANE: I'm just saying
what needs to be said.

You get a good lead, it's
in the first 48 hours.



RICK: Shane, stop.

Let me tell you
something else, man.

If she was alive out there
and saw you coming,

all methed out with
your buck knife,

and geek ears around your neck, she
would run in the other direction.

(SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

- Back off!
- Keep your hands off me.

Now just let me talk to Hershel.
Let me figure it out.

What are you gonna figure out?

If we're gonna stay, if we're gonna clear
this barn, I have to talk him into it.

This is his land.

Hershel sees those things
in there as people,

sick people, his
wife, his stepson.

- You knew?
- Yesterday, I talked to Hershel.

And you waited the night?

I thought we could
survive one more night.

We did.

I was waiting till this
morning to say something.

But Glenn wanted to be the one.

The man is crazy, Rick, if Hershel
thinks those things are alive or no.

(WALKERS GROWLING)

(WALKERS SNARLING)

(GRUNTS)

GLENN: Maggie.

Hey, Maggie, just talk to me.

Hey. Maggie.

Give me your hat.

You said talk to you, I'm talking to you.
Give me your hat.

Why would you waste
an egg like that?

I think it was rotten.

Does Shane think Sophia's dead?

Shane's just scared.

- Of the walkers in the barn?
- Yeah.

Mom, I'm not leaving
until we find Sophia.

And I don't want to
go even after that.

Well, we're not leaving, Carl.

You finish those problems.

I just think she's
gonna like it here.

This place, it could be a home.

(GRUNTS)

You can't.

I'm fine.

Hershel said you need to heal.

Yeah, I don't care.

Well, I do.

Rick's going out later
to follow the trail.

Yeah, well, I ain't gonna
sit around and do nothing.

No, you're gonna go out there and
get yourself hurt even worse.

We don't know if we're
gonna find her, Daryl.

We don't.

I don't.

What?

I can't lose you, too.

(GRUNTS)

Are you all right?

Just leave me be.

Stupid bitch.

Andrea's looking for you.

Thank you, Glenn.

Any chance you got an extra hat?

Nope.

Thanks.

(GUNS BEING LOADED)

Going off with Rick
to look for Sophia.

I thought he was
talking with Hershel.

He is. We're gonna go after.

I'm headed to the barn in the meantime.
Shane wants a watch duty down there.

Does Rick?

Why wouldn't he?

Are you only getting yours?

I don't know what's going
on with you and him.

Him?

- Shane.
- Dale.

It's not my business.

All that matters to me is that you...
You may not really know him.

We don't need to do this.

- You and I are finally...
- It's important.

I get it. You don't like him.

It isn't that.

Then what is it?

Is that how you want to be?
Like him?

He's not a victim.

You don't know him.

Dale, I need you to stop.

You spend so much time watching
me, looking out for me.

You want to beat me up
anytime I show any concern.

Go ahead. I'm done.

I'm not beating you up, Dale.

I'm okay, really.
Things are different.

You got your gun.

Okay.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

You mind running and
getting me some water?

I just... I need a second.

You'll keep watch?

Dale?

Yeah, sure.

Come on in.

A little light
reading for lunch?

Been working so hard lately, I
get my studying where I can.

You know we can help you
out with your work.

It's my field to tend.

We found the barn.

Leave it be.

Well, I'd like to talk about it, but either
way, your barn, your farm, your say.

I don't want to talk about the barn.
I don't want to debate.

Not a debate, a discussion.

I need you and your group
gone by the end of the week.

I talked to Dale.

You and I have our differences with
the way we look at the walkers.

Those people.

They may be dead,
they may be alive.

But my people, us, we
are alive right now,

right here, right
in front of you.

You send us out there,
and that could change.

I've given you safe harbor.
My conscience is clear.

This farm is special.

You've been shielded from
what's been going on out there.

Dale said you saw everything
happen on the news.

Well, it's been a long time since
the cameras stopped rolling.

The first time I saw a walker,

it was just half a body
snapping at me from the ground.

My inclination
wasn't to kill it.

But what the world is out there
isn't what you saw on TV.

It is much, much worse
and it changes you.

Either into one of them or

something a lot less than
the person you were.

Please do not send
us out there again.

My wife's pregnant.

That's either a gift here or
a death sentence out there.

If we were to stay we could help you
with the work, with securing this place.

We can survive together.

Rick, I'm telling you we can't.

- You think about what you're doing.
- I've thought about it.

- Think about it.
- I've thought about it.

Think about it again.
We can't go out there.

What's it gonna be, man? Which
way does this thing go?

I don't know yet.

Well, what did he say?

We're negotiating.

You're... Clock's ticking, Rick.

No, it isn't, Shane.
That barn is secure.

We didn't even know about
it till this morning.

We didn't. Well, we
know about it now.

Right? We know there's over
a dozen walkers in there.

We know that it's about a stone's
throw from our camp, Rick.

Where we sleep, so look,

if we're not gonna go in there and
clear it out, then we just got to go.

We're not gonna clear it out
and we're not gonna go.

- We at least need our guns.
- We can't have them, not here.

Why do you want to stay
here when it's not safe?

We can make it safe.

- How we gonna do that?
- We will, okay?

- How we gonna make it safe?
- We will, okay?

- No, man, it's not okay, Rick.
- Shane, Lori is pregnant.

We need to stay.

- We need our guns.
- No, I can work this out.

- You good?
- Yeah.

Lori's having a baby, man.
Congratulations.

Thank you.

Hi, honey.

Carl doesn't need any
more of my help.

So that's it?

Rick was trying
to make his case.

It'll be hard. They'll
have to be careful.

But he was being dramatic.
They're a strong group.

They've done well on their own.

They're just gonna have to go
out and find their own farm.

There's plenty of them
now to choose from.

There aren't.

Every one of them nearby is
burned out or full of walkers.

"Walkers"?

So, we just keep these
people here forever?

How are they my responsibility?

"A new command I give to you,"

"'Love one another. As
I have loved you..."'

That's what you told me, right?

I was mad about Mom.

Mad about you marrying Annette.

I was 14 years old and I was
awful, to you more than anybody.

All I wanted to do was
smoke and shoplift.

"Love one another."
That's what you told me.

Maggie.

That was different.

No.

You're different.

I am.

But we are not.

I love you. That's part of this.

Is this about you and the Asian boy?
Do you want me to...

No.

His name is Glenn.

He saved my life yesterday

when one of the people you think
is sick tried to kill me.

How's that for dramatic?

Things aren't what you think they are.
They aren't.

Don't do this.

Okay? It's not about me and Glenn.
It's not about me and you.

It's about you.

It's about who you are,
who you're gonna be.

JIMMY: Hershel!

It happened again.

RICK: Also shows she could have
been moving this way, south.

If Sophia kept in
that direction,

she might have gotten out of the
forest and into the farmland.

So we take 74 up to Ivy Road,

then push down south on foot through
the forest till we hit Christopher,

go east a couple of miles
and then double back.

Rick.

Hershel. We just have our guns out
because we're gonna go look for Sophia.

Before you do that, I could
use your help with something.

Count me in.

Thank you, but I just need Rick.

I'll be down at the barn keeping
watch until you're ready.

I thought he was dead.

Shane, I don't...

Then when he came back, right then,
right there, you see, I wished he was.

Not because you
wouldn't be mine,

but because I knew that sooner
or later, he would be dead.

See, Rick,

he ain't built for this world,
not for what it is now.

You're wrong. You're wrong.

Lori, how many times has
he saved your life?

I just... I want to
know how many times.

Because by my count,
I've saved your life

on four different occasions,
and that's Carl's, too.

So, I just want to ask you, how many
times has Rick saved your life?

That night at the camp. That night
at the camp after the fish fry.

No, no, no. See, no.

That was me, too.

You see, Rick,

he showed up late because he went
on a suicide mission over nothing.

Yeah, he joined in,

but see, we wouldn't have been in
that situation if he hadn't left

because he felt that he needed
to leave to save a drug dealer.

And so we lost Amy and we lost Jim.
We lost...

Rick told me.

Told you what?

And I know the reason why you didn't
is because you know it's mine.

- It's Rick's.
- Okay.

You know, we carried on quite a
bit before Rick got back, Lori.

- It's mine. You know it is.
- You're wrong. You're wrong.

I'm sorry. Shane, I'm sorry.

But even if it's yours,
it's not gonna be yours.

It's never gonna be yours and there's
nothing you can do to change that.

I don't need to.

Hey, Shane. Can I talk
to you for a sec?

- You okay?
- Yeah.

I know you think Sophia's dead and
that we should stop looking for her.

But that's bullshit.

- Hey, man, watch your mouth.
- We're gonna stay here until we find her.

- You think that's what we should do?
- It's what I know we should do.

Then we stay.

That means we got to do whatever we
got to do to make that happen, hmm?

- Like help out with chores?
- Mmm.

Like help out with the chores.

Carl. Come here for a minute.

Why don't you go see what
your morn wants, huh?

Go on.

Hey, Carl.

Don't let me hear you
talk like that again.

GLENN: S'up?

(PANTING)

Son of a bitch.

You see where he went?

- Who?
- Don't even try to shit me, okay?

- What?
- Dale, Glenn.

Did you see where Dale went?

Yeah, he asked me to run
and get him some water.

He said he'd cover me on watch.

And he was gone
when you got back?

Yeah.

- You think he's okay?
- He's fine.

Why'd he bail then?

So you wouldn't tell
me which way he went.

I don't get it.

No, man, you don't.

The silt on the bottom is like glue.
You just sink in.

That's Lou Bush.

You knew him?

Lou as in Louise.

She has a farm up the road.
(SNARLING)

Sweet corn mostly. Worked at
Hapman's bar on weekends.

The man, I don't know
him, but the coveralls...

I've been to where he worked.

How many have you killed?

Too many to count.

HERSHEL: Can you stop?

There are people out there who
haven't been in their right minds,

people who I believe
can be restored.

You're not talking about
the walkers, are you?

It doesn't matter if you see
them as human beings any more.

But if you and your people
are going to stay here,

that's how you're gonna
have to treat them.

My farm, my barn, my say.

- DARYL: You see it?
- CAROL: See what?

DARYL: I'll find her.

Hey, I'm sorry about what
happened this morning.

You wanted to look for her.

Why?

This whole time I've
wanted to ask you.

'Cause I think she's
still out there.

Truth is, what else I got to do?

We'll find her. We will.

I see it.

(SNARLING)

Otis said if you get them halfway out
they'll do the rest of the work.

How many times did he do this?

HERSHEL: If one wandered onto the property,
Otis would get them into the barn.

Now we have to.

What happens when the barn gets full?
(GRUNTS)

Get the pole!

RICK: Jimmy. Jimmy, you got it.

Easy. Easy, Rick. Lead him.

Jimmy will spot for us.
Lead him, lead him, Rick.

- You're the carrot, not the stick.
- RICK: What?

HERSHEL: You heard
me, just lead him.

He'll come to you.

RICK: You told me he
handled them easily.

This is easy?

It's easier than some things.

JIMMY: All right,
it's clear this way.

(PANTING)

Maggie.

Hey.

Maggie.

Maggie.

Maggie, just stop for a second.

You talked about it.
You told Dale, fine.

I asked you. I told you. I just
asked you for one thing. One thing.

I couldn't do it.

My dad's gonna kick you guys out now.
He told me.

No, Rick's gonna work
something out with your dad.

- Okay? I had to tell them.
- You did not.

No, I did.

Okay, I wanted to.

You see, I forgot.
Okay? I forgot,

or I stopped thinking about it or maybe
I didn't want to think about it.

I let them lower me into
that well like it was fun,

like I was playing Portal.

- It's a video game.
- Of course it's a video game.

And then the pharmacy happened
yesterday and I realized something.

I forgot that they're dangerous.

I don't care if they're sick people
or dead people, they're dangerous.

And then I realized
something else.

That I don't want you
in danger, ever.

So, I hate to blow your dad's big
secret, but I'm sick of secrets.

Secrets get you killed.

And I'd rather have you pissed off at
me and alive, than liking me and dead.

So, that's why I told them.

Hey, walker bait.

Don't call me that.

Okay, Glenn.

(CHUCKLES)

Man, this is a
good hiding place.

We ain't been in the
swamps much, huh?

Imagine if you applied your
tracking skills to finding Sophia.

How about you just
give me that bag, huh?

I'm not gonna do that.

Yeah, you are, Dale.

Unless, well... You do have
that rifle over your shoulder.

What, you gonna shoot me, like you
did Otis? Tell another story?

No, man.

Hell, when you really look at
it in the cold light of day,

you're pretty much dead already.

Just give me the guns.
Do it now.

- You think this is gonna keep us safe?
- Mmm-hmm.

I know it is.

Rick is trying to
get Hershel to...

Dale, shut up. Just shut
up and give me the guns.

Am I gonna have to shoot you?

Do I have to kill you? Is
that what it's gonna take?

(SCOFFS)

Yeah. That's what
it's gonna take.

This is where you belong, Shane.

How's that, Dale?

This world, what it is now,

this is where you belong.

And I may not have what it takes
to last for long, but that's okay.

'Cause at least I can say

when the world goes to shit, I
didn't let it take me down with it.

Fair enough.

You look like you should be in
line for the early bird special.

Go get your cap. I'll
wash it for you, okay?

Do you know what's going on?

Where is everyone?

- You haven't seen Rick?
- He went off with Hershel.

We were supposed to leave
a couple hours ago.

DARYL: Yeah, you were.
What the hell?

Rick told us he was going out.

Damn it. Isn't anybody
taking this seriously?

We got us a damn trail.

Ah. Here we go.

- What's all this?
- You with me, man?

Yeah. Time to grow up.

You already got yours?

Yeah. Where's Dale?

- He's on his way.
- T-DOG: Thought we couldn't carry.

We can and we have to.

Look, it was one thing sitting
around here picking daisies

when we thought this place
was supposed to be safe.

But now we know it ain't.

How about you, man? You
gonna protect yours?

- That's it. Can you shoot?
- Can you stop?

You do this, you hand out these guns,
my dad will make you leave tonight.

- We have to stay, Shane.
- LORI: What is this?

We ain't going anywhere, okay?

Now look, Hershel, he's just
gonna understand. Okay?

Well, he's gonna have to.

Now we need to find Sophia.
Am I right?

Now I want you to take this.

You take it, Carl, and you
keep your mother safe.

You do whatever it takes. You know how.
Go on, take the gun and do it.

Rick said no guns.
This is not your call.

This is not your
decision to make.

Oh, shit!

What is that?

- What is that?
- LORI: Shane!

- What the hell are you doing?
- Shane, just back off.

- Why do your people have guns?
- Are you kidding me? You see?

You see what they're
holding onto?

I see who I'm holding onto.

No, man, you don't.

Shane, just let us do this
and then we can talk.

What you want to
talk about, Rick?

These things ain't sick. They're
not people. They're dead.

Ain't gonna feel nothing for them
'cause all they do, they kill!

These things right here, they're
the things that killed Amy.

They killed Otis. They're
gonna kill all of us.

Shane, shut up!

Hey, Hershel, man, let
me ask you something.

Could a living breathing person,
could they walk away from this?

RICK: No!

- Stop it!
- That's three rounds in the chest.

Could someone who's alive,
could they just take that?

Why is it still coming?

That's its heart, its lungs.
Why is it still coming?

Shane, enough.

Yeah, you're right, man.
That is enough.

Enough risking our lives for
a little girl who's gone!

Enough living next to a barn full of
things that are trying to kill us.

Enough!

Rick, it ain't like
it was before!

Now if y'all want to live,

if you want to survive,
you got to fight for it!

I'm talking about fighting
right here, right now.

RICK: Take the snare pole.

Hershel, take the snare pole.

Hershel, listen to me, man, please.
Take it now.

Hershel! Take it!

No, Shane. Do not do this, brother.
Please!

Don't do it!

- Rick!
- Please!

Come on. Come on,
we're out here.

This is not the way! Please!

Get behind me.

Come on.

(WALKERS GROWLING)

- Maggie.
- It's okay.

Stay back!

Stop!

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

(MOANING)

(GROWLING)

Sophia? Sophia!

(SOBBING)

Sophia.

Sophia.

Oh, no.

Don't watch.

(CAROL SOBBING)
