The Walking Dead (2010–…): Season 5, Episode 11 - The Distance - full transcript

Maggie:
Hey.

Everyone...

this is Aaron.

We met him outsie.
He's by himself.

We took his weapons
an we took his gear.

Hi.

Shh.

It's nice to meet you.

You sai he ha a weapon?

There something you nee?

He has a camp nearby.



He wants us to auition
for membership.

I wish there was another wor.

Auition makes it soun like
we're some kin of a ance troupe.

That's only on Friay nights.

Um, an it's not a camp.

It's a community.

I think you all woul make
valuable aitions.

But it's not my call.

My job is to convince you all
to follow me back home.

I know.

If I were you,
I wouln't go either.

Not until I knew exactly
what I was getting into.

Sasha, can you
han Rick my pack?

Front pocket,
there's an envelope.



There's no way I coul
convince you to come with me

just by talking
about our community.

That's why I brought those.

I apologize in avance
for the picture quality.

We just foun
an ol camera store last...

Noboy gives a shit.

You're absolutely 100% right.

That's the first picture
I wante to show you

because nothing I say about
our community will matter

unless you know you'll be safe.

If you join us, you will be.

Each panel in that wall

is a 15-foot-high,
12-foot-wie slab of soli steel

frame by col-rolle steel beams
an square tubing.

Nothing alive or ea
gets through that without our say-so.

Like I sai, security
is obviously important.

In fact, there's only
one resource

more critical
to our community's survival...

the people.

Together we're strong.

You can make us even stronger.

The next picture,
you'll see insie the gates.

Our community
was first construc...

So we're clear,

that look wasn't
a "let's attack that man" look.

It was a "he seems like
an okay guy to me" look.

We got to secure him.
ump his pack.

- Let's see what this guy really is.
- Rick.

Everyboy else,
we nee eyes in every irection.

They're coming for us.

We might not know
how or when, but they are.

Me an Sasha, we in't see him.

If he ha wante
to hurt us, he coul've.

- Anyboy see anything?
- Just a lot of places to hie.

Rick:
All right, keep looking.

What i you fin?

Never seen a gun like that before.

That's a hell
of a right cross there, Rick.

Sit him up.

- I think it's better if...
- It's okay.

He's fine.
Sit him up.

You're being cautious.

I completely unerstan.

How many of your people
are out there?

You have a flare gun.
You have it to signal your people.

How many of them are there?

- oes it matter?
- Yes.

Yes, it oes.

I mean, of course,

it matters how many people
are actually out there,

but oes it matter
how many people

I tell you are out there?

Because I'm pretty sure
no matter what number I say...

eight,

32,

444,

zero...

no matter what I say,
you're not going to trust me.

Well, it's har to trust anyone
who smiles

after getting
punche in the face.

How about a guy who leaves
bottles of water for you in the roa?

How long you people
been following us?

Long enough to see that
you practically ignore

a pack of roamers on your trail.

Long enough to see
that espite a lack of foo an water,

you never turne on each other.

You're survivors

an you're people.

Like I sai, an I hope

you won't punch me
for saying it again,

that is the most important
resource in the worl.

How many others are out there?

One.

I knew you wouln't believe me.

If it's not wors,
if it's not pictures,

what woul it take
to convince you

that this is for real?

What if I rove you
to the community?

All of you?

We leave now,
we'll get there by lunch.

I'm not sure
how the 15 of us are gonna fit

in the car you an your one frien
rove own here in.

We rove separately.
If we foun a group,

we wante to be able
to bring them all home.

There's enough room
for all of us.

An you're parke
just a couple miles away, right?

East on Rige Roa,
just after you hit Route 16.

We wante to get them closer,
but then the storm came,

blocke the roa.
We couln't clear it.

Yeah, you've really
thought this through.

Rick, if I wante to ambush you,

I' o it here.

You know, light the barn on fire
while you slept,

pick you off as you ran out
the only exit.

You can trust me.

I'll check out the cars.

There aren't any cars.

There's only one way
to fin out.

- We on't nee to fin out.
- We o.

You know what you know
an you're sure of it,

but I'm not.

Maggie:
Me neither.

Your way is angerous,
mine isn't.

Passing up someplace
where we can live?

Where Juith can live?

That's pretty angerous.

We nee to fin out what this is.

We can hanle ourselves.

So that's what we're gonna o.

Then I will, too.

I'll go.

Abraham.

Yeah.

I'll walk with them.

Rosita?

Okay.

If there's trouble,
you got enough firepower?

We got what we got.

The walkies are out of juice.

If you're not back
in 60 minutes, we'll come.

Which might be
just what they want.

If we're all in here,
we're a target.

I've got the area covere.

All right, groups of two,
fin somewhere safe within eyeshot.

When the worl
was still the worl,

I worke for an NGO.

Our mission was to eliver
meicine an foo

to the Niger River elta.

Ba people pointe guns
in my face every other week.

You're not ba people.

You're not going to kill us.

An we are efinitely
not going to kill you.

Just because we're goo people

oesn't mean we won't kill you.

If the five of them
aren't back in an hour...

I'll put a knife
in the base of your skull.

Glenn:
Eyes open, everyboy.

Weapons up.

You see someone
coming at us, you fire.

Abraham:
Copy that.

So if we see someone,
we just shoot them?

It's a goo question.

Michonne:
What if they're someone like us?

What if Aaron
is telling the truth?

What if they're someone
who has nothing to o with this?

Glenn: We're five people
walking with guns.

No one's coming up to say hello.

But that's exactly what happene.

If it's someone like us,
we shoul be afrai of them.

He sai he was
watching us, right?

It means he saw us yesteray.

An after everything we've one,

why woul he want us
to join his group?

People like us save a priest.

Save a girl who rolle up
up to the prison with the Governor.

Save a crazy lay with a swor.

He saw that.

I on't know what he saw.

Shh.

You i see the jar of applesauce
in my bag, right?

This isn't a trick.

This isn't about trying
to make you like me.

It's self-preservation.

Because if the roamers hear her
an come this way,

I know I'll be the first to go.

Shh, shh.

All right, come here, come here.

Shh.

You think I'm trying
to poison your baby aughter?

I'm tie up an you've
alreay expresse

a willingness
to stab me in the hea.

How woul cruelly
killing your aughter in front of you

in any way help the situation?

Maybe she oesn't ie.
Maybe she gets sick.

Maybe you're the only one
that can help her an I just lose.

I am the only one who can help her
because I have applesauce

an we all win.

I hate applesauce.

My mom use to make me
eat foos I in't like

to make me more manly.

Salmon patties,
applesauce, an onions.

She was a very confuse woman
who trie her amnest.

I just bring the jar to show
that we have apple trees nearby.

Like you sai,
you'll be the first to go.

The community is big enough.

We can fin a place
for you to live

where even when she cries,

no one, nothing can hear it
outsie the walls.

You got 43 minutes.

He was telling the truth.

Glenn:
Not one step closer, asshole!

I got 'em.

We got 'em.

amn it!

Thanks.

All clear?

All clear.

Gracious Ignatius.

Oh, it has been a while.

I think I saw Rex
eat three cans one night.

Four.

Son of a bitch knew
if he in't toss 'em back,

I' have come for 'em.

Back at the fire truck,

after Eugene...

i you think
I was gonna hurt you?

No.

It's not you.

This, this is ours now.

There's more than enough.

It's ours whether or not
we go to your camp.

What o you mean?
Why wouln't we go?

Michonne:
If he were lying

or if he wante to hurt us...

but he isn't...

an he oesn't.

We nee this.

So we're going, all of us.

Someboy say something
if they feel ifferently.

aryl:
I on't know, man.

This barn smells like horse shit.

Yeah.

We're going.

So where are we going?
Where's your camp?

Well, every time I've one this,

I've been behin the wheel
riving recruits back.

I believe you're goo people.

I've bet my life on it.

I'm just not reay to bet
my friens' lives just yet.

You're not riving.

So if you want to get home,
you'll have to tell us how.

Go north on Route 16.

Michonne:
An then?

I'll tell you when we get there.

We'll take 23 north.

You'll give us
irections from there.

That's... I on't know
how else to say it...

that's a ba iea.

We've cleare 16.

It'll be faster.

We'll take 23.

We leave at sunown.

We're oing this at night?

Rick:
Look, I know it's angerous.

But it's better than
riing up to the gates uring the ay.

If it isn't safe, we nee to get gone
before they know we're there.

No one is going to hurt you.

You're trying to protect your group,
but you're putting them in anger.

Tell me where the camp is,
we'll leave right now.

It's going to be a long night.

Eat.

Get some rest if you can.

I'm thinking you, me, an Glenn
rive with that guy.

Carl an Juith are safer in there.

You okay?

When you sai
that we were going...

was that for real?

Or are you just trying to get this guy
to tell you where his camp is?

We're going.

Whatever it takes to get there.

Just as long as we get there.

When you first came up
on the walls outsie Woobury...

what i you hear?

Nothing.

An Terminus?

Nothing.

Sometime tonight,

we'll be outsie his camp's walls.

An without seeing insie,

I'm gonna have to ecie
whether to bring my family in.

He aske me before what it woul take
for me to believe it was real.

Truth is...

I'm not sure if anything
coul convince me to go in there.

But I'm gonna see.

I'm gonna see.

Um, I'm trying to collect
all 50 states.

Put them all on a wall
in my house.

You have your own house?

Mm.

See for yourself.

Why on't you have
any pictures of your people?

Oh, I took a picture
of the whole group,

but I in't get
the exposure right.

When I trie
to evelop it later, it just...

i you ask him the questions?

No.

How many walkers
have you kille?

I'm sorry, what?

How many?

I on't know.
A lot.

How many people?

Two.

Why?

Because they trie to kill me.

You were listening to us?

I alreay sai
I was watching you.

- Yes, I was listening.
- It means his people

coul have one, too.
They coul've hear our plan.

- This isn't safe.
- Shit!

- Rick: Glenn!
- They were right behin us.

They woul have hit us.
Now they can get out.

I on't see them.

No, they're gone.
They got away.

Rick: All right, we'll circle back
an fin them. Let's go.

- They're okay?
- Yeah.

All right, we can take a left
a couple of miles up 23.

- Jefferson Avenue.
- Jefferson Avenue.

Aaron: We gotta get out of here.

- Come on.
- Come on.

We got to get out of here.

Come on.

Let me see what I can see.

They're coming right for us.

- Yeah, we know.
- Glenn: Come on, come on!

We nee to leave now.

Hol on.

Shit.

Who i that?

I nee to leave.
This is over.

Let me out.
I nee to get outta here. It's over.

- What's going on?
- Let me out!

i you see that?

Michonne, leave him!
We nee to fin our people.

They saw that flare.
They'll think we shot it.

This is how we fin them.

Where's Glenn?

Aaron: Get off!

Run if you want.
I got other things to worry about.

We can make it together.

But we can only make it together.

You sai that.
I was listening.

Rick:
Glenn!

He's got to be
somewhere aroun here.

Michonne:
Glenn!

If you really wanna tie me up again,
that's fine, but hurry up.

There's no time.
We're going that way.

Where are they?

I on't know.

If this is a trap to get us
back where you want us,

your people are gonna
ie tonight.

Rick: The flare was towars
the water tower.

a!

- Your sister okay?
- Yeah. Yeah, we're fine.

Aaron:
Eric? Eric?

- Eric?
- In here.

Eric!

Eric?

I'm okay.

It's like a volleyball injury.

It's a broken ankle.

At least that's what Maggie sai.

I like her.

It's not a big eal.

Oh, my Go.

I'll just go to the infirmary
when we get back.

Oh...

When I saw that flare go up, I...

I thought...

You were worrie, were you?

Yeah.

This is your fault, you know?

Is that so?

Because I love you.

An because when I'm worrie,
I o stupi things.

An when I o stupi things,
I win up unerneath a rust bucket

surroune by roamers
who roll a rear passenger tire

onto my left ankle.

Hey, something goo
came out of toay.

While I was waiting for you,
I searche through the neighborhoo.

I foun that.

You lost the license plates.

I lost the car.

Maybe it's for the best.

That monstrosity out front can run.

It's so ugly, it'll scare
the roamers away.

Hi. I'm Eric.

Rick.

It's okay.

Excuse me.
Excuse me.

Everyone.

Thank you.

You save Eric.

I owe you.
All of you.

An I will make sure
that ebt is pai in full

when we get to our community.

When we get to Alexanria.

Now, I'm not sure about you,

but I' rather not o
any more riving tonight.

Maybe we can hit the roa
tomorrow morning.

That souns fine.

But if we're staying
here for the night,

you're sleeping over there.

You really think
we gotta o that?

It's the safe play.
We on't know you.

The only way you're gonna stop me
from being with him right now

is by shooting me.

Whoa.

Rick, he tol us
where the camp is.

An he really was only traveling
with one other person.

They're both unarme.

One of them's got a broken ankle.

I want us to be safe, too.

I can't give up everything else.

I know what I sai,

but it oes matter.

All right.

Yeah?

Oh, um...

I know it's time
for another ose,

but I want to let him sleep
until we get home.

No, it's for you.

A few bottles.
on't nee to be stingy with 'em.

I know how ba those hurt.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Oh, your leg.

i that happen before?

uring.

a an me, car accient.

Rotters in the roa.

I ha a octor.

Probably lucky I can even walk.

We have a pretty gifte
surgeon in Alexanria.

His name's Pete.

I've seen him o
some amazing things.

He might be able to help.

Yeah?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Seven-car stu.
Stares an squares.

It's aces, cuatros, neeners,
an two-eye jacks.

Tara: So there's 14 wil cars?
Are you serious?

Serious as two copulating ogs.

Abraham.

Look.

Eyes on the roa, champ.

How much longer we got?

Looks like we're a little
over halfway there. Why?

We can make it.

We can make it.

Can't win.

Might as well paint it re,
put a laer on it.

All we nee is another battery.

Where in the hell are we gonna
fin another battery?

Right over here.

How' you know those were there?

Come on.

Michonne:
The fight's over.

You've gotta let it go.

I know it's har.

After it's kept you...

warm an fe an...

alive.

But the fight...

it turns on you.

You've gotta let it go.

That's what Bob was trying to
tell me back at the church.

What to risk.

When it's safe.

When to let someone in.

The rules keep changing.

They i for me.

Before we get going, I gotta...

I gotta take a moment.

You reay?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey.
Hey, sweetheart.

Come here.

Even though you were wrong,

you were still right.

Shoul we go?
