The Walking Dead (2010–…): Season 4, Episode 7 - Dead Weight - full transcript

Your move, pumpkin.

I'm thinking.

( panting )

Mitch, grab that.

Go on.
( grunts )

Governor:
You can't think forever.

Sooner or later,
you've got to make a move.

You never let me win anyway.

Well, that wouldn't be winning.

That's what my daddy used to say.

He used to beat me at chess, too.



Heck, he used to beat me at everything.

You know this guy?

Was your dad mean?

Sometimes.

Were you bad?

Sometimes.

So you've been on the road
all this time?

Yeah.

Lily:
You okay, Brian?

What is it, pumpkin?

Am I bad?

What?

Hey.

Why would you think that?



My dad was always mean to me.

Hey, you're good.

You are.

We've got a camp
about a half a mile from here.

Hell, no, Martinez.

We got too many mouths as it is.

They got a kid, for Christ's sake.

Hey, if you do come back with us,
there's two things you got to accept.

One, I'm in charge.

Two, no deadweight.

That goes for everyone.

Contribute or be cast out.

Can you live with that, Brian?

Governor:
You, me, your mom, and Aunt Tara,

we're gonna be okay.

'Cause we're good?

All of us?

Your turn.

Brian?

It's your turn.

I'm thinking.

( wind blowing )

( theme music playing )

Lily:
You going out there today?

Supply run.

Martinez and the Dolgen brothers.

( sighs )

I'm gonna set up a nurses' station
for the camp.

They need one.

- I'm sorry, Lily. This place is...
- Stop it.

I wanted something better for us.

This camp is good.

We'll make it better.

How's the fishing?

There isn't any.
Pond's dead.

As a doornail.

We still got rabbits, skunks,
some possum out here.

You better watch your ass, One Eye Bri.

Mitch: You sure we're headed
in the right direction?

Martinez:
If Howard's map is right.

Mitch: We should have dragged
his ass out here to make sure.

He's an old man.
He can barely walk.

That's why I said dragged.

Hope this is worth it.

Supposedly this guy
was a survivalist type.

His cabin might have stuff we can use.

Hell, maybe he's still alive.

I won't keep my fingers crossed.

Hey, One Eye. What you doing?

The hell is this?

Mitch:
Somebody pissed somebody off.

Who gives a shit?

That guy's got nothing
to worry about anymore.

Let's go.

- It's a deep cut.
- No, that's nothing, ma'am.

I just got cute with my knife,
that's all. I'll be fine.

So...

Alicia.

Alicia. Right.

You in the Marines or something?

Army. In the reserves.

An M-4, huh?

You don't approve?

I mean, don't get me wrong,

an M-4 is great for close combat,

but as a field weapon?

With all that dirt and dust,
no, thanks.

I've never really been
into big guns anyway.

I'm more of a Smith & Wesson gal.

Less fuss, you know?

You always this full of shit?

( laughs )

Yes, I am.

Took himself out.

You think he's the one
who 86'd those military guys?

- He still has his head.
- Some of it, anyway.

Let's see what he's got inside.

( tapping )

( whistles )
( banging )

You hear that?
There's one in there.

Must be stuck if it ain't coming out.

We going in?

You want us to wait till you finish
pissing in your pants?

- No, I'm...
- Cut the chatter.

( bangs )

Hey. Let's go.

( banging continues )

( banging )

- It's close.
- Quiet.

( banging )

( banging )

( bangs )
( door creaks open )

- It's out.
- Shut up.

( snarls )
Oh! Get it off of me!

Get it off of me!
Get it off of me!

Get it off of me!

Jeez!

Pete!

( floorboards creak )

( snarls )
( gasps )

Martinez:
If it was just you in that pit,

I wouldn't have brought
you into the camp.

If it weren't for the people
you were with...

the girl...

You seem different now.

Changed.

Are you?

I am.

Good.

The guy had some good stuff.

Canned food.

Ooh. We got beer.

( whistles )

( laughs )

Pete:
Man, what happened here?

I mean, what the hell
was going on in this cabin?

Was he storing those biters?

They were his wife and kid, man.

Pete:
No, they were biters.

What about those heads?

Belonged to the guys who did
the wrong thing to the wrong man.

Probably best not to think
too much about it.

Better listen to One Eye Bri, Pete.

I can never tell if he's winking
or blinking.

But you know how to regulate,
don't you, Bri?

He was always like this, Martinez?

Oh, yeah. Ice in the veins.

You should have seen him
back in the day.

What about you fellas, huh?

What did you do before it all changed?

I was...

I was an ice cream truck driver.

( laughs )

Till I upgraded my life

and I became a tank operator
for the US Army.

Hoo-ah!

Hoo-ah.

Then when everything went tits up,

I got the hell out
and took my ride with me.

End of the world don't mean shit
when you got a tank.

I was Army, too.

Stationed out of Fort Banning.

Stayed for a while after it all started.

That's my Pete.

He's too loyal to bounce.

What about you, Brian?

What did you do when it all went bad?

I survived.

( laughing )

Wait, your father was a Catholic priest?

That's right.

So the father became a daddy?

It caused some problems
with the Church a little bit.

This is all stuff Brian's heard before.

We spent a lot of time
out there together.

You've done all right here.
I mean this camp.

It's the first time I've felt safe
since all this started.

The place Brian and I lived
before kind of worked.

I guess I wanted that again.

Sounds like your old camp
was pretty sweet.

Alicia:
You guys had walls, right?

Yeah. Yeah, it was...

it was a good place.

Megan:
This place is good, too, right?

Martinez:
You know it.

I want to hear all about it someday.

Brian won't say a word.

I say leave the past in the past.

Tara:
Well, for the first time in a long time,

- I'm shitfaced.
- Lily: Tara.

Sorry. Megan,
don't say that, okay?

- You want to get out of here?
- Yeah.

Thanks for the dinner.
Double thanks for the suds.

Yeah. Boom.
There you go.

( kisses )

- Be safe.
- Tara: Yep.

I think, um...
I think I'm gonna go.

You sure?
I got a couple of skunky beers left.

Whoa.
( laughing )

I'm good, thanks.

Brian, the roof's leaking again.

You should fix that, man.

I'll do that.

Later, muñeca.

( Governor sighs )

( knocks )

Almost forgot.
Got a surprise for you.

Whoa.

Martinez:
Aw, damn it.

Hand me another one.

You know he's dead, right?

Shumpert?

He was never the same after Woodbury.

Oh!

Yeah. He got reckless.

Biter took a piece of him
right over there.

I swear, he didn't try
to get out of the way.

I put him down myself.

Right over there.

I'm sorry.

There's some things
you just can't come back from.

They become a part of who you are.

Either you live with them or you don't.

Well, you seem to be living with them
pretty well.

( laughs )
So are you.

That family,
they brought you back.

You're lucky. I couldn't...

I couldn't do that again.
Couldn't risk it.

Couldn't sleep at night
knowing I was gonna lose them.

I'm not gonna lose them.

Yeah.

What, you don't think
you can keep this place safe?

I'll try.

Hopefully we'll be prepared
for whatever comes.

Now you're here,
maybe we can share the crown a little.

Oh, Jesus.

I should have taken some golf lessons
before the...

( groaning )

( groaning continues )

( screams )

( panting )

( golf club thuds )

Come on, let's go.

( walkers snarling )

Come on.

I don't wanna do it!

( screaming )

I don't want it!
I don't want it!

( shouts )

You hear me?
I don't want it, damn it!

( screaming )

I don't want it.

( flesh tearing )

I don't want it.

( crying )

( door opens )
Brian, we're home!

Lily:
Megan, he's sleeping.

Brian?

You're shaking.

What is it?

I just had a bad dream, that's all.

What was it?

I can't remember.

Listen up!

We found what was left of Martinez
in a pit this morning.

( crowd murmuring )

Looks like he was
hitting some golf balls,

he got drunk,

he fell in.

( crowd murmuring )

So now what?

I'm taking leadership of the camp.

- Crowd: No. No.
- Hold on now. Hold on now!

We should vote on who leads, right?

- Yeah.
- You can't just take over.

- Shut your mouth, you little bitch.
- What?

- Hey!
- Pete: Hey, calm down!

Calm down, all of you.

We need each other
now more than ever.

The only way we get through this,
through any of this, is together.

Now this is temporary.

We'll find some kind of way to do a vote
in the next couple of days.

For now, it's business as usual.

Okay?
( crowd murmuring )

You heard the man.

Move!

Please?

Gear up.
We're going on a hunt.

Pete: Rationing,
fences, medical supplies.

There are 100 questions and people
are looking to me for answers.

Well, it's hard to lead.

Yeah, I could use some help.

Hey.

( people chatting )

How many?

10.

Maybe less.

They got a lot of supplies, though.

Maybe we should take 'em in.

Are you crazy?

We barely got enough
to go around as it is.

Look, Pete, I know you don't want
to hurt nobody.

Neither do I,
but we need those supplies.

Now let's just go over there
and take what we need and go home.

No rough stuff.

- You want to rob 'em?
- Why not?

We need their stuff.

They got guns,
but if we roll up on 'em quick...

No.

No, we can find our own supplies.

Come on.

- What a joke.
- We did all right.

Yeah, a couple of damn squirrels,
some condensed milk.

What do you want from me?
I'm trying here.

Hey.

Where you going?

Son of a bitch.

Son of a bitch!

This wasn't biters.

People did this.
Must have just happened.

We would have had those supplies.

You're worried about supplies?
These people are dead, Mitch.

You're damn right they're dead!

That was gonna happen either way.

Now some other group's got our stuff.

( moaning weakly )

Mitch. Mitch, no!

He might have lived.

Might have.

Here you go. Need this?

Brian, what's going on?

- Pack your things, now.
- What's happening?

- Lily: Hold on, baby.
- Hey.

Grab your clothes, pack some food.
Come on.

Mommy?

- Brian, stop.
- Get Tara.

We need to leave.
It isn't safe here anymore.

What are you talking about?

We can't just run off.

I'm the only nurse in camp.
Tara's got Alicia.

What about Megan?

Look, things are about to go
very wrong here.

It's happened to me before.
I can't put you and Megan through that.

Can't lose you again.

What about Pete?

You said he was a good man.

- Well, I was wrong.
- But...

Do you trust me?

Do you trust me, Lily?

Then pack your things.

We're leaving tonight, okay?

Come on.

Mommy.

Alicia:
Where are we going?

- Tara: Alicia.
- Maybe you should slow down.

No, I don't understand this.
I don't understand this.

Tara:
Hey, we're together, okay?

We have everything back there.
We have food, we have shelter.

( tires skid )
( gasps )

( walkers snarling )

- Brian.
- Oh, my God.

Just stay in the car.

( walkers snarling )
( slopping )

What are you doing?

Surviving.

( door opens )

( knocks )

We need to talk.

About Mitch.

Come in.

I knew this was coming.

I've been getting him
out of trouble my...

( muffled cries )

Shh. Shh.

Where's Pete?

He's dead.

You gonna kill me, too, now?

Huh? For the old guy at the camp?

Smoke?

Why did you do my brother?

You were right about that camp.
We should have taken their supplies.

I don't care that you killed
the old man.

Men like your brother,
always doing the right thing,

even at the cost of their own people.

Go on. Have a cigarette.

I quit.

Yeah, me, too.

I remember the first smoke I ever had.

Me and my brother
huddled in the garage

puffing on one of my dad's
Lucky Strikes.

He must have smelled the smoke,
because he came barging in

looking to beat up on us.

But my brother got between us.

Said he stole them.

Wasn't true. It was me.

But that was my brother.

Hero.

He got two black eyes
and a broken rib for that.

And I got beat anyway.

Take one.

I'm running things now,

and I will do everything it takes
to protect this camp.

Now, if you join me,

I promise you you will never have to
worry about whether you were doing

the right thing or the wrong thing.

Because we will do

the only thing.

Mitch: What are we gonna tell
the camp about Pete?

Governor: We'll tell them
he died on a supply run,

saving our asses.

Mitch: You think they're really
gonna believe that?

Governor: People believe
what they want to believe.

Everybody loves a hero.

( chatter )

Governor:
How's the perimeter coming?

Alicia: It's good. We got cars ringing
almost the entire camp.

I think a few more runs, we should
have ourselves a nice little buffer.

Governor:
And the pits?

Mitch: They keep coming,
we keep burning them.

I don't know
if it's the heat or what,

but there have been a hell
of a lot more of them lately.

- And the armory?
- Solid.

I rounded up
all the ammo in camp.

We're officially stocked
in the bullet department.

Still, tell your crews supply runs
are arrow only from now on.

Gunshots are a luxury.

Sooner or later
we're gonna need 'em.

That's right,
and not just for the biters.

Mitch and I and Pete, we saw
what people can do out there.

You come across strangers,
you just avoid them.

Come back here and tell us
where you saw them, okay?

Let's go.

( whispering )

( sighs )

Maybe we can find a better place.

You know, if...

we're willing to fight for it.

We don't need to find a better place.

This is home.

You're it, Aunt Tara.

What? I can't be it.
I'm on guard duty.

I have to be a responsible adult.

- You're it.
- Go get her.

- No fair!
- Run, Megan.

( laughs )

You don't have to do this alone.

Caught you.

( snarling )
( screaming )

Aunt Tara!
( screaming )

Megan!

Aunt Tara! No!

( screaming )

( gunshot )

- Mommy!
- Megan!

- Man: It's your fault!
- Woman: It's not.

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.

( Chatter )

( cocks gun )
