The Walking Dead (2010–…): Season 4, Episode 16 - A - full transcript

Rick, Carl and Michonne cross paths with the Claimers once again on the way to Terminus, as the so-called sanctuary begins to reveal its true face.

( Walkers snarling )

Hi, Daddy.

You're a sight
for sore eyes.

- Doing okay?
- Yeah.

Yes, sir.

- Any trouble?
- No.

- You had some.
- Yeah.

A little.

Carol, I'll take that.

( Theme music playing )

How hungry are you,
scale of one to 10?



15.

28.

( chuckles )
Yeah.

Well, it's been a while.

I'm gonna go
check the snares.

Can I go with you?

Well, how else
are you gonna learn?

Hey, you, too.

Rick:
We'll stay another day or two.

Get some more rest.

Finish healing up?

I'm almost there.

We're close now, right?

To Terminus?



- Yeah.
- We are.

When we get there,

are we gonna tell them?

Tell them what?

Everything that's
happened to us.

All the stuff we've done.

Are we gonna tell them
the truth?

We're gonna tell them
who we are.

But how do you say that?
I mean...

who are we?

( walker snarling )

( blade slices )
( thuds )

There you go.

It's a small one.

It'll do.

So, this is just
a simple slipknot.

Tie one on both ends,

then you tighten
one side to a branch.

Now, you see how
the ground here

is sort of like
a funnel shape?

- It's a trail?
- That's right.

That's where you want
to set the noose.

So you hide it with leaves.

Then you put sticks
all around it

so any animals going by
have to run this way

right into the trap.

Man:
Help!

- Somebody help!
- Carl.

- Carl, stop! Carl!
- Man: Get back! Back!

( walkers snarling )
Help!

Get away!
Get back!

Help!
Somebody help!

Help me!

Get away!

No!

Get away!

- Help! Somebody help!
- We can't help him.

( screaming )

No! No! No!

No!
( screaming )

We've got to go.

Morning.

Everything okay?

Yeah, just want a little
help with something.

What time is it?

I never know what time
it is anymore.

Ever since I gave
Glenn my watch,

it's always
right now to me.

It's early.

He's decent.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Bethy's gonna take Judith.

Rick:
What are we doing?

You'll see.

You're not going
to need that.

It'll just get in the way.

Rick:
Let's go.

Michonne: Thought maybe
there'd be some houses down this way.

Maybe even a store.

There's got to be some food
around here somewhere.

Hey, look.

( walker gurgling )

That was one small rabbit.

It was something.

Got to hand it
to the thing.

It traveled well.

( chuckles )

Have you noticed that's all
we talk about anymore?

Food.

I forgot
what this feels like.

Me, too.

I hope we're able
to forget again soon.

We're close.

Just got to make it
through another day.

If folks there are taking people in,
they have to be strong.

They have to have a system.

I wonder if
the whole thing's legit.

( branches snap )

We let people in.

We did.

So did the Governor.

Yeah, it's always
the same, isn't it?

Don't get to know
until we know.

Maybe this place
isn't even there anymore.

Oh, dearie me.

You screwed up, asshole.

You hear me?
You screwed up.

Today is a day
of reckoning, sir.

Restitution.

A balancing of the whole
damn universe.

Shit, and I was thinking
of turning in for the night

on New Year's Eve.
( laughs )

Now who's gonna count
down the ball dropper with me, huh?

10 Mississippi.

Nine Mississippi.

- Eight Mississippi.
- Daryl: Joe!

- Hold up.
- You're stopping me on eight, Daryl.

Just hold up.

This is the guy that killed Lou,
so we got nothing to talk about.

The thing about nowadays
is we got nothing but time.

Say your piece, Daryl.

These people,

you're gonna let 'em go.

These are good people.

Now, I think Lou would
disagree with you on that.

I'll, of course, have to
speak for him and all

'cause your friend here
strangled him in a bathroom.

You want blood, I get it.

Take it from me, man.

Come on.

This man killed our friend.

You say he's good people.

See, now that
right there is a lie.

It's a lie!

- Come on. ( groans )
- No!

( grunting )

Teach him, fellas.
Teach him all the way.

- No!
- Come here, boy.

You leave him be!

Shh.

You'll get yours.
You just wait your turn.

Listen, it was me.
It was just me.

See, now that's right.
That's not some damn lie.

Look, we can settle this.
We're reasonable men.

First, we're gonna beat
Daryl to death.

Then we'll have the girl.

Then the boy.

Then I'm gonna shoot you
and then we'll be square.

( laughing )

Let him go.

Stop your squirming.

( laughing )

Let him go.

( Carl whimpering )
( man laughing )

( gunshot )
( ears ringing )

( coughing )

I got him.

Oh, it's gonna be
so much worse now.

( whimpering )

( laughing )

Shh.

Come on, get up!

Come on.
Let's see what you got.

( groaning )
Shh. ( laughing )

( laughing continues )
( belt buckle clinks )

- You leave him be!
- Huh? Right over here.

What the hell are you
gonna do now, sport?

( screams )

( gurgling )

( gunshot )

I'll kill him.
I'll... I'll kill him!

Let the boy go.

( grunts )

( gurgling )

He's mine.

Stay back.
Stay...

Please...

( screaming )

( stabbing continues )

( stabbing continues )

Hershel:
Here.

What is?

Those feral pigs
in the forest,

it doesn't take much
to domesticate them.

Same with the horses
we've seen.

We have seeds.
We can grow our own food.

It's time
we started planting.

Okay.

Can't do it myself.

I got to go out there.

Go on runs,
be at the fences.

I teach you how to do this.

You teach Carl.

We're going to be
here a while.

They need me.

We've been here two months.

You've made it work.

The war is over, Rick.

No, we don't know that.

I'm talking about you.

I'm saying it,
and I'm saying this,

you pull Carl back
from going out there, fine.

- He shot that boy.
- Yeah, I know.

He needs his father.

He needs his father
to show him the way.

What way are you
going to show him?

He can shoot, we know that.

What's his life
going to be?

What's yours?

All this.

I'm just saying everything

because I owe you.

We all owe you.

We can make this
better now.

Things changing in here

doesn't change
things out there.

No, it doesn't.

But we're here today,
right now.

This is a good place
to start.

( motor starts )

There's a run soon.

- I got to go.
- No, you don't.

We should save it to drink.

You can't see yourself,
he can.

I didn't know
what they were.

How'd you wind up
with them?

I was with Beth.

We got out together.

I was with her for a while.

Is she dead?

She's just gone.

After that,

that's when they found me.

I mean, I knew
they were bad,

but they had a code.

It was simple.

Stupid, but it
was something.

It was enough.

And you weren't alone.

Said they were looking
for some guy.

Last night they said
they spotted him.

I was hanging back.
I was gonna leave.

But I stayed.

That's when I saw
it was you three.

Right when you saw me.

I didn't know
what they could do.

It's not on you, Daryl.

Hey.

It's not on you.

You being back
with us here, now,

that's everything.

You're my brother.

Hey, what you did
last night...

anybody would
have done that.

No, not that.

Something happened.

That ain't you.

Daryl, you saw
what I did to Tyreese.

It ain't all of it, but that's me.

That's why I'm here now.

That's why Carl is.

I want to keep him safe.

That's all that matters.

You okay?

Yeah.

I'm okay.

I know.

How?

'Cause I'm okay, too.

We're getting close.

Be there before sundown.

Now we head through
the woods.

We don't know who they are.

All right.

We all spread out,

watch for a while,
see what we see,

and get ready.

We all stay close.

You want to stick with me?

It's all right.

Why didn't you go
with your dad?

When I told you
about Andre,

you never asked
how he died.

I knew why.

Yeah, but the how
is important.

We went to a refugee camp.

Andre
and my boyfriend Mike,

that was Andre's father,

and our friend Terry.

At the camp,

it just got worse
and worse.

People were leaving.

People giving up.

But I didn't.

I was coming back
from a run.

I saw the fences were down.

I heard the moans.

It was over.

And Mike and Terry,

they were high
when it happened.

They were bit.

Could have stopped it.

Could have killed them.

But I let them turn.

I made it
so they couldn't bite,

couldn't scratch.

I tied chains
around their necks.

It was insane.

It was sick.

It felt like
what I deserved,

dragging them around
so that I would always know.

I found out that
they kept me safe.

They hid me.

The walkers didn't
see me anymore.

I was just another monster.

And I was.

Me.

I was gone for a long time.

But then Andrea
brought me back.

Your dad brought me back.

You did.

I see how you've been
looking at your dad.

You don't have
to be afraid of me

or him.

He told me the other day

that he was proud of me.

That I was a good man.

I'm not.

- Carl.
- I know more now. ( sniffles )

About what
he wanted for me.

And I tried, but...

I still have
these thoughts.

I'm not
what he thinks I am.

I'm just another
monster, too.

Just in case.

Woman:
Terminus...

Those who arrive survive.

Follow the tracks
to the point

where all lines intersect.

There are maps
at the crossings

to help guide you
with your journey.

Sanctuary for all.

Community for all.

Those who arrive survive.

Terminus,
sanctuary for all.

- Community for all.
- Hello.

Those who s...

Hello.

Well, I bet Albert
is on perimeter watch.

You here to rob us?

No.

We wanted to see you
before you saw us.

Makes sense.

Usually we do this
where the tracks meet.

Ahem.

Welcome to Terminus.

I'm Gareth.

Looks like you've been
on the road for a good bit.

We have.

Rick. That's Carl,
Daryl, Michonne.

You're nervous.
I get it.

We were all the same way.

We came here for sanctuary.

That what you're here for?

Yes.

Good.

You found it.
Hey, Alex.

This isn't as pretty
as the front.

We got nothing to hide,
but the welcome wagon

is a whole lot nicer.

Alex will take you,
ask you a few questions.

Uh, but first,

we need to see
everyone's weapons.

If you could just lay them
down in front of you.

All right.

- I'm sure you understand.
- Yes, I do.

I'd hate to see the other guy.

You would.

- They deserve it?
- Yes.

Just so you know,
we aren't those kind of people,

but we aren't
stupid either.

And you shouldn't be stupid enough
to try anything stupid.

As long as everyone's clear
on that, we shouldn't have any problems.

Just solutions.

Okay.

Follow me.

So how long's
this place been here?

Since almost the start.

When all the camps
got overrun,

people started
finding this place.

I think it was instinct,
you know?

Follow a path.

Some folks were
heading to the coast,

others out west
or up north,

but they all wound up here.

Hi.

Heard you came in
the back door. Smart.

You'll fit right in here.

Hey, Mary, would you fix each
of these new folks a plate for me?

Michonne:
Why do you do it?

Why do you let people in?

The more people become a part of us,
we get stronger.

That's why we put up
the signs,

invite people in.

It's how we survive.

Here.

No.

Where the hell
did you get this watch?

- Hey, Patrick.
- Hey, Mr. Grimes.

Thanks for grabbing these.

Well, I thought
Carl might want 'em.

They were just
sitting there.

I figured
it had been a while.

I'm not ashamed that
they're for ages four to 12.

You shouldn't be.

Hey.

- Carl.
- Yes?

Carl.

I need your help
with something.

Leave it behind.

What?

It'll just get in the way.

Rick: Where the hell
did you get this watch?

You want answers?
You want anything else?

You get 'em when
you put down the gun.

I see your man
on the roof with a sniper rifle.

How good's his aim?
Where'd you get the watch?

- Where'd you get the watch?!
- Don't do anything!

I have this!
You just put it down.

You put it down!

You want to listen to me.
There's a lot of us.

Where did you
get the watch?

I got it off of a dead one.

I didn't think
he'd need it.

Rick: What about the riot gear?
The poncho?

Got the riot gear
off a dead cop.

Found the poncho
on a clothesline.

- Gareth, we can wait.
- Shut up, Alex.

You talk to me.

What's there left to say?

You don't trust us anymore.

- Gareth.
- Shut up.

- Gareth, please.
- It's okay.

It's okay.

Rick, what do you want?

Where are our people?

You didn't answer
the question.

( gunfire )

- Man: Go, go!
- Gareth: Hey!

( men shouting )
( radio chatter )

Carl!

Get down, now!
Go!

Man over radio:
Shots fired in the main.

Heading into the building.

Come on!

( gunfire )

Come on!

Here!

Man over radio: Stay on your shot.
( gunfire )

- Come on, this way.
- Gareth: Get them off B!

( radio chatter continues )

- Voices: Help! Help!
- What the hell?

( banging )
Let us out!

- Help!
- Keep going,

Help!

What the hell
is this place?

These people,
I don't think they're trying to kill us.

Rick: No, they were
aiming at our feet.

There.

There.

Go!

( gunfire )

Gareth:
Drop your weapons! Now!

Now!

Ringleader,
go to your left.

The train car, go.

You do what we say,
the boy goes with you.

Anything else, he dies
and you end up in there anyway.

Now the archer.

Now the samurai.

Stand at the door,
ringleader,

archer, samurai,
in that order.

My son.

Go, kid.

Ringleader,
open the door and go in.

I'll go in with him.

Don't make us kill him now.

( thuds )

Rick?

You're here.

You're here.

They're our friends.

They helped save us.

Yeah.

Now they're
friends of ours.

For however long
that'll be.

No.

( laughs )
There you go, Judith.

There you go.

Put it in at more
of an angle.

Whoa.

Gonna have to get you
a farming hat.

There's a new sheriff
in town.

( all laugh )

- How's it look?
- Looks good.

( laughing )

It can be like this
all the time.

It's like this now.

That's enough.

They're gonna feel
pretty stupid when they find out.

Find out what?

They're fucking
with the wrong people.

( Theme music playing )
