( Shoveling continues )

(woman crying )

(crying )

Gabriel: "We look not
at what can be seen,

but we look at what
cannot be seen.

For what can be seen
is temporary...

but what cannot be seen
is eternal.

For we know that if the earthly tent
we live in is destroyed,

we have a building
from God,

a house not made
with hands,

eternal in the heavens."



Noah: She was gonna
come with me.

How far?

Outside Richmond, Virginia.

(Judith crying )

Rick:
It was secure.

It has a wall,
homes, 20 people.

Beth wanted to go with him.

She wanted to get him there.

It's a long trip,
but if it works out,

it's the last long trip
we have to make.

And what if it isn't around
anymore?

Then we keep going.

Michonne:
Then we find a new place.

( Shovel scraping dirt)



It's better now.

( Theme music playing )

How far out?

Five miles.

Hey, Carol.

Carol:
I'm here.

We're halfway there.
Just wanted to check the range.

Everybody's holding tight.

We've made it 500 miles.
Maybe this can be the easy part.

Rick:
Got to think we're due.

Give us 20 minutes
to check in.

Carol: We don't hear from you,
we'll come looking.

Rick:
Copy that.

I've been wanting
to tell you something.

What's that?

The trade.

It was the right play.

It worked.
It did work.

Just something else
happened after.

It went the way it had to.

The way it was always going to.

I never wanted to kill
anybody before.

I've wanted that.

But it just made it

so I didn't see anything
except what I wanted.

I wasn't facing it.

Noah:
Facing what?

What happened,
what's going on.

My dad always
told Sasha and me

that it was our duty
as citizens of the world

to keep up with the news.

When I was little
and I was in his car,

there were always those stories
on the radio.

Something happens
1,000 miles away

or down the block.

Some kind of horror I couldn't even
wrap my head around.

But he didn't
change the channel.

He didn't turn it off.

He just kept listening.

To face it.

Keeping your eyes open.

My dad always called that

paying the high cost of living.

I lost my dad in Atlanta.

I think he would
have liked yours.

Still got a mom
and a couple of twin brothers.

I hope.

I hope so, too.

Two more miles.

All right.

Let's pull into the woods.
We'll go on foot.

Stay off the road.

Noah:
We don't need to.

Just in case.

Rick:
This is good.

Through the trees, it might just look
like part of the wreck.

(snarling, thumping )

( snarling continues )

It's this way.

Your people do this?

Wanted to.
Must have.

Ah!

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

They have spotters?
Snipers?

We built a perch on a truck.

Sometimes it's out front.

Not today.

( Flies buzzing )

( clangs )

( distant bangs )

Noah:
You hear that?

Just wait.

( Noah grunts )

( panting )

Rick:
Noah, hold up.

Noah!

( Snarling )

( sobbing )

Come on.
It's all right.

You're gonna be with us now.

( Sighs )

(walker snarling )

(sighs)
I'll get him.

( Sobbing )

I'm sorry, Noah.

I truly am.

We should see if there's anything
we can use and head back.

Then what?

They see us.

We can make a quick sweep.

I'll stay with him.

Carol, you copy?

Carol:
We're here.

We made it.

It's gone.

( Snarling )

Clean shirt.

- We'll figure it out.
- We will.

There's some garbage bags
in the garage.

You didn't think
it would still be here?

Did you?

After it happened,

right after with Beth
in the hospital,

I saw that woman Dawn.

She didn't mean to do it.

I knew it.
I saw it.

But I wanted to kill her.

I remember I just wondered
if it even mattered

one way or another.

Didn't have a thing
to do with Beth.

I don't know if I thought
it would still be here.

But Beth wanted to get him here.

She wanted to get him
back home.

This was for her.

And it could have been
for us, too.

(crying )

I wanted to die for what I lost.

Who I had lost.

I stepped out into
a crowd of those things

just trying to...

take it all out on them

until they took me.

Put them all in front of me
so I didn't see anything.

But I just kept going.

And then later,

I was there for Judith
when she needed me.

I saved her.

I brought her back to her dad.

And that wouldn't have happened
if I had just given up...

if I hadn't chosen to live.

Noah.

Noah.

This isn't the end.

Hmm?

There you go.

That's right.

Hey, we should...

Noah.

Noah.

Noah!

I was thinking about that guy
in the storage container.

Back at Terminus.

How I made us stop.

After the prison,

on my trip,
I got Maggie back.

Things went okay.

Losing Washington...

losing... losing Beth

right after just finding out
she's alive...

I hadn't caught up with you yet.

If it were now...

I wouldn't make us stop.

We'd run right by.

And I would have
shot that woman dead.

Right or wrong.

Michonne:
We need to stop.

You can be out here too long.

Hey, hey.

( Panting )

This is my house.

You don't wanna go in there.

Yes, I do.

Let me see it.

Me first.

( Pounds )

( Pounds )

Noah: I tried to come back sooner.
( creaking )

I tried.

But I did what you told me to.

( Snarling, scratching )

(thumping )

( snarling )

( screams )

(growling )

You're okay. Just hold on.
I'll get them.

I'll get... I'll get them.

( Door opens, creaks )

( radio buzzing,
changing channels )

Man's voice:
At least 68 citizens of the republic

have been killed
in four deadly attacks

along the main coastal district.

The group has continued
their campaign of random violence,

moving across
the countryside unfettered

with the republic's
military forces in disarray.

( labored breathing )

I tried to tell you.

I tried to tell you, man.

It was gonna be you.

You're the kind of guy
who saves babies.

You think Gareth would have
been able to follow you guys

if you'd have just put
a bullet in my brain?

Cut me up like your sister did?

Oh, whoa, whoa.
Don't get up.

( Breathing heavily )

If I hadn't told them
that you were there,

maybe Gareth wouldn't
have gone after you.

Maybe they wouldn't be dead.

Maybe Bob wouldn't be dead.

Maybe him being alive,
maybe something about that

would have changed
things with Beth.

Domino shit.
( chuckles )

Maybe not.

Maybe you wouldn't
be bit right now.

Bob:
Man, that's bullshit.

I got bit at the food bank.

It went the way it had to,

the way it was always going to.

Just like this.
( static hissing )

Man on radio: Then terrorizing
the village by night,

carrying out revenge attacks

involving hacking innocents
with machetes

and, in some cases,
setting them on fire.

Martin:
If you just did it,

if you didn't lie like a bitch,

it might have changed things.

Maybe the bill
would have been paid.

Governor:
The bill has to be paid.

You have to earn your keep.

You told me you'd do
whatever you had to do

to earn your keep.

That's what you said.

Hmm?

Remember that?

( Static hissing )
( snarling over radio )

Lizzie:
It's better now, Tyreese.

It is.

It's better now.

It's not better now.

You know damn well what...

( snarling )

( screams )

( groans )

( breathing heavily )

We could put some of the garage doors
together against the break.

Park a car against them
until we can brick it back up.

Michonne:
It can work.

This place is surrounded
by a forest.

There's no sight lines.

Whoever, whatever
would be on top of us

without us even knowing it.

That's probably what happened.

That's what happened to us.

We could start
taking down the trees.

We use them to build
the walls up.

Look.

It doesn't matter.

What?

You said you wondered
if it even mattered

if you killed her or not.

It doesn't matter if you had done it

or if I had, or that Daryl did.

It doesn't matter.

Michonne:
Washington.

Eugene lied about a cure,

but he thought
of Washington for a reason.

But he was lying.

About the cure,
but he did the math

and realized that Washington
was the place where there'd be a chance.

We're close.

( Rick sighs )

What if there are
people there? Huh?

What if it's someplace
that we can be safe?

We're 100 miles away.

It's a possibility.

It's a chance.

Instead of just being out here.

Instead of just making it.

Because right now,
this is what making it looks like.

Don't you want
one more day with a chance?

( Snarling )

Rick:
We should go.

It's 100 miles away.

We should go to Washington.

Noah:
Rick!

Help! Glenn!
Michonne!

( Snarling )

Noah:
Help!

Glenn:
Noah, hold on!

I got him.

( Clangs )

You okay?

(grunts)

- It's Tyreese!
- Where?

My house.
He's been bit.

( Static buzzing )

It's okay, Tyreese.

You gotta know that now.

It's okay that you didn't wanna
be a part of it anymore, Ty.

Beth: You don't have to be
a part of it.

( Martin laughing )

(grunts)

See, that's your problem
right there.

What's my problem?

You didn't want to be part of it,
but being part of it is being now.

That's what it is.

Open your eyes.

Lizzie: You don't have to.
Not if you don't want to.

You don't.

It's better now.

You told me
you'd earn your keep.

You had no idea what you were
talking about, did you?

Did you?!

Your eyes were open,
but you didn't wanna see.

Even though I made you see it.

I showed you.

But did you adapt?

Did you change?

No.

That you would sit there
in front of a woman

who killed someone you loved...

and you would forgive her.

That's all there is.

This is all there is.

This is it.

(whimpering )

( panting )

I didn't know
who I was talking to.

I said I would do what I had to
to earn my keep,

but I didn't know you.

But I know...

I know who I am.

I know what happened
and what's going on.

I know.

You didn't show me shit.

You, you're dead.

Everything that you were

is dead.

And it's...

It's not over.

I forgave her because...

it's not over.

( Sobbing )
It's not over.

It's... it's not over.

I didn't turn away.

I kept listening to the news

so I could do
what I could to help!

I'm not giving up.

You hear me?

I'm not giving up!

People like me...

People like me,
they can live.

Ain't nobody got to die today.

You have to pay the bill.

( Panting )

- You hold him!
- I got it! Go!

Rick:
One hit, clean! Go!

( Panting )

( walkers snarling )

Push it!
( grunts )

( walkers snarling )
Glenn: Let's go! Let's go!

- Let's go!
- Michonne: Through the back.

Rick:
We've got to break the chain.

Let's go.

( Snarling )

- We can use the bat.
- Noah: I got him.

Can you hold him up?

Yeah.

Rick:
Get ready!

( Sound fades )

( snarling )

One, two, three, now!

Man, if you believe that,

then it's definitely
gonna be you and the kid.

(gunshot)

(grunting )

( Sasha screaming )

- No...
- Leave it.

Rick: I got him.
Stay with us, now. Stay with us.

Governor:
You have to pay the bill!

I got you.
Easy now, easy.

On three. One, two, three.
( all grunt)

Michonne: What?
Wait, wait, wait, wait!

- Rick: Come on!
- Noah: Come on.

Glenn:
Open them!

Noah: Come on, man.
Open your eyes. Open your eyes!

(an yell )

Beth:

the way it was always going to.

♪ And together we fight
just to stay alive... ♪

You got to hold on, man.

- Rick: Two, three...

( all grunt)
Rick: Let's go!

Beth: ♪ Struggling man,

- Bring him in.
- I got him.

(all grunting)

- Rick: Hold him up. Hold him up.
- You're all right. You're all right.

Carol, we're at the car.

We need to cauterize
the arm and wrap it.

Get Sasha and Carl away.

They don't need to see this.
( engine starts)

Come on, come on,
come on, come on.

( Snarling )

Noah:
Come on. Come on!

Man on radio: There have been
troubling reports of cannibalism

having broken out
in refugee camps

along the republic's
transportation corridor.

And despite the string
of victories by rebel forces,

there are disturbing reports
of increasing

the brutality of their tactics

including the wholesale
destruction of villages,

burning down local prisons,

targeting of civilians,
and even the widespread

mutilation of children
and young mothers.

And this seems like
only the beginning

of their campaign that they label
as an endless war against...

Turn it off.

You sure?

It's okay, Tyreese.

You gotta know that now.

It isn't just okay.

It's better now.

"We look not
at what can be seen,

but we look at what
cannot be seen.

For what can be seen
is temporary,

but what cannot
be seen is eternal.

For we know that if the earthly tent
we live in is destroyed,

we have a building from God,

a house not made from hands,

eternal in the heavens.

In the heavens."
