The Walking Dead (2010–…): Season 6, Episode 4 - Here's Not Here - full transcript

You said you liked talking.

I remember that.

"Little chats with a stranger
by the fire."

You said it was like
the movies.

Then you said that you want
everything that I have.

Every last bit.

Well, here it is.

Every last bit.

You don't clear.

You don't.

No.



No, no.

You don't.

You don't.

It doesn't matter
how many days...

or how much time.

We weren't supposed
to be there.

You had the knife.

You had the gun!

You were supposed to.

You know you were
supposed to.

Don't lie.

You know.

You know that
you were supposed to!

I'm s... I'm sorry.



I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.

No! I'm sorry.

You don't.
You don't.

You don't!
You know you don't!

You're still the same.

You're... you're still doing it.

You know what it is.

You know what it is.

Can you step away
from the goat?

She's not yours.
And I still need her.

I'm still figuring out
how to make cheese.

Why don't you put the gun down
and we'll talk?

Have some falafel?

Looks like you haven't
eaten for a while.

Really, put down the rifle,
let's talk.

I'm sure we can work this out.

Okay, last chance.

Lower your gun,
step away from the cabin.

Sorry.

What's your name?

Kill me.

Well, that's a stupid name.

It's dangerous.

You should change it.

Kill me.

Kill me!

Kill me!

Kill me!
Kill me!

Kill me.

My name's Eastman.

It's okay, Tabitha.

Aw, shit.

It's yours.

Take it.

It's yours or his.

So you take it.

16 hours
in 19 on the floor.

You know what it is.

You shot at me.
I fed you.

Please don't hurt her.

Good night.

Shh. Shh.

16 hours
in 19 on the floor.

Oh!

Oh, that is...

Oh, that's terrible!

That... oh, God,
that is...

That is terrible.

I just wanted to wait a little while
before we talked.

I'm from Atlanta.

I'm a forensic psychiatrist.

The state employed me to determine if
certain people who did very bad things

would do them again
if they were released from prison.

That was my job.
Now I live here,

because of the state of the state
and the whole world.

What did you do
or what do you do now?

I clear.

What the hell does that mean?

Walkers, people,

anything that gets
anywhere near me,

I kill 'em.
I clear.

Why?

Because that's why
I'm still here.

Well...

that's the biggest load
of horseshit I ever heard.

Here's your lunch.

It's PTSD.

You've been through
trauma, right?

You see that blood
on the end of my stick?

At the sharp end?

That was two men.

Father and son, maybe.

I stabbed one
through the throat.

He just fell to the ground
with it stuck in him,

trying to breathe
through the blood.

Other one I strangled.
No rope, just my hands.

That was the day
before I came here.

Maybe...

Maybe the same day.

I... I don't know.

But that's what I did.

That's what I do.

You killed a lot of people?

Yes.

They were threatening you,
attacking you?

Not all of them.

You save anyone?

You saved people.

Pointless acts.

Everybody turns.

I saw a wedding ring.

You had someone
you loved, didn't you?

Children?

Oh.

You loved them.

You loved them a lot
if you're like this.

You saw it happen.

That's how this started, right?

It's all happening right in front
of your eyes over and over.

Your body's here,

but your mind is still there.

There's a door and you want to go
through it to get away from it,

so you do and it leads you
right back to that moment.

And you see that door again
and you know it won't work,

but, hell, maybe it'll work.

So you step through that door

and you're right back
in that horrible moment every time.

You still feel it every time.

So you just want to stop
opening that door.

So you just sit in it.

But I assure you,

one of those doors
leads out, my friend.

I don't have any friends.

Get to know me.

Oh, I'm gonna kill you.

- Why?
- Because I have to clear.

See, that's the thing.
You don't.

We're not built to kill.

We don't have claws
or fangs or armor.

Vets that came back
with PTSD,

that didn't happen
because we're comfortable with killing.

We're not.
We can't be.

We feel.
We're connected.

You know, I've interviewed
over 825 people

who've done terrible things.
I've only met one evil person.

Some of them were born
with bad brains.

Some of them got sick
along the way.

The rest were
just damaged people,

traumatized themselves, like you,
but they could heal.

Some more, some less,
but they can.

We all can.

I know it.

It's all a circle
and everything gets a return.

The door is open.

That door right there.
The cell door, it's open.

I threw the key
in the river a while back.

I'm not gonna hold you anymore.

I can't stop you.
Go, clear.

Or stay,
crash on the couch,

and we'll try
to find you another way.

The door's open.

It's been open all along.

You stay or you go.

Those are the choices.

I will not allow you to kill me.

I will not allow that.

Don't!

Stop.

Stop.

I gave you two choices.

Oh, shit.

Kill me.

I gave you two choices.

The door or the couch.

That was aikido.

That's how I kicked
your ass earlier.

Well, that's how
I redirected your ass.

The people in prison
I evaluated for the state,

the stories I heard,

the things these people did...

One night,
my five-year-old daughter

found me crying in the garage
after about eight beers.

Told her I wasn't feeling too good.

She gave me this.

She had won it at a carnival
at school that day.

She said it'd make me lucky
and I'd feel better.

The next morning I found
a flyer for aikido.

Damn thing worked.

Your wife
and your daughter...

they're dead?

It was aikido.

It'll help.

And you obviously need help
if we're gonna make this trip.

Can't just be
me and you to the end.

You're a shit conversationalist.

And I can't make
this trip by myself.

A trip where?

I have no idea.

Good night.

Grassy notes are a little
too Astroturf,

but there's potential here.

There is always potential.

Where there's life,
there's potential.

I've been a vegetarian
for a while now.

I was afraid that damn goat
was gonna make me a vegan.

I don't kill, but I'm not giving up
on chocolate any time soon.

You might notice I'm not giving up
on the Goo Goo Clusters.

They're gonna
remain on the menu.

You should try one.
They're good.

Come on, you're alive.
Live a little.

We should go out.

We got a lot here, but we should
scavenge some things up for the trip.

You coming?

Will you watch Tabitha
while I'm gone?

Can you do that for me?

Well, you maimed
a tomato plant,

but it looks to me like you saved
a goat today, my friend.

He'! '

Thank you.

Progress.

Just a second.

A and B.

A... you broke
the garden fence,

laid waste to a perfectly good
tomato plant.

You got to fix it.

B... follow me.

Fixed your spear.

It's about redirecting.

Evading.

And actually caring
about the welfare of your opponent.

So you have to care
about yourself.

You have to believe
your life is precious,

that all life is precious.

You have to redirect
those thoughts,

the history
that tells you otherwise.

What we've done,
we've done.

We evade it
by moving forward

with a code
to never to do it again.

To make up for it.

To still accept
what we were.

He'! '

To accept everyone.

To protect everyone.

And in doing that,
protect yourself.

To create peace.

Why do you have a cell
in your cabin?

Built this place
with my wife

a while before
our daughter was born.

It didn't have
a cell back then.

That was just the other side
of the living room.

In my job I interviewed
over 800 men and 25 women

convicted of awful things,

stuff from the darkest part
of the human soul.

I was evaluating a man by the name
of Crighton Dallas Wilton.

Name like that, sounded like he should
own an oil company

and wear a big hat...
Crighton Dallas Wilton.

Despite doing some truly unspeakable
acts, he was up for parole.

And he was one of the most damn likable
people I had ever met.

He said all the right things,
he went to therapy.

He wrote letters to the prison board
to start a program

to grow flowers for the waiting rooms
in state hospitals, rest homes.

And I saw
right through him.

Saw that he was
a true psychopath,

that he knew how to play people,
exactly how to play people.

I was interviewing him
next to the cafeteria.

The place smelled
of industrial pizza.

They were polishing
the floor.

I had to shout my questions
half the time.

And there was this moment.

Can't even remember
the exchange.

But right then I knew
that Crighton knew

that I knew exactly what he was.

Everything he had said, done

to hide away what he was
from everyone, from himself,

just slipped away, and...

and that model prisoner
of 10 years stood up,

smiled,

and just cracked me
across the face.

His fist felt like a rock.

Then he was on top of me
and the floor polisher next door

was thudding out
every sound.

And I...

And I saw his face,

his... his eyes,

his evil.

Mask had slipped.

And he was gonna kill me
right then and there

because he knew I would make sure
he would never get out again.

Arm bar counter

for being choked
from a pinned position.

Aikido.

I wasn't taking it for self-defense,
but it saved my life.

And I got to make sure
he never got out again.

Well, got to try.

He got out.

Talked to the right people
who got him the right things

and he broke out,
but it wasn't to escape.

Crighton Dallas Wilton
went to my home

and killed my wife,
my daughter, and my son.

He walked down the street
to the police station around the corner,

covered in their blood.

He surrendered.

Said the only reason
he broke out

was to destroy my life.

A year passed...

and he was still working
those plots.

They just let him work those plots
by the roads out by 85,

grow chrysanthemums,
forget-me-nots.

I built that cell
with the full intention

of bringing
Crighton Dallas Wilton here,

putting him behind those bars
and watching him starve to death.

And did you?

I have come to believe

that all life is precious.

Even for a man like that?

Who did that to you?

To your family?

I have come to believe

that all life
is precious.

That's why we're having
oatmeal burgers.

You're good at it.

Redirecting.

We need more gear.

Tarp, crowbar.

I'm thinking we could try
for the islands off the coast.

I think people
could have gone there.

Hell, at the very least,
we could see the beach.

What is it?

I know where we can find all that.

Who did you lose?

My wife and son.

Who you lost.

Their names.

Jenny and Duane.

I'm sorry.

Don't ever be sorry.

Forms, right now.

Not here.

Right now.

You're gonna hold
a baby again.

It's all yours.

Damn it, move!

Ow!

I said not here.

That wasn't for you to do.

How could you do that?
That wasn't for you to do!

You can't just...

You can't just step in!

Tell me how it is.

Tell me how it is!
Tell me!

Let's go home.

I'm not going anywhere.

You're coming back.

You are done with this.

You made it out.

Ow!

Kill me.

Kill me!

I said not here.

Well, that's the thing, Morgan.

Here's not here.

No.

Thank you.

Oh, she got out.

She figured out
the door was open, too.

I didn't figure it out.

You had to tell me.

Glad you're back.

Here.

Come on, you sit down
before you fall down.

Well, like I said, they...

let him work
the plots beside 85.

Even after what he did.

They let him because
he was so damn charming.

I found out
the schedule, waited,

made sure the right people
were working.

I got him in my car quick
and brought him back here.

If they'd have caught me,
it'd have been fine.

It'd have been better.

But I got him here
and they didn't know where to look.

You gotta sit down.

All right.

I'm okay.

I put him in that cell...

and I let him starve to death.

It took 47 days.

And then I was gone.

I was where you were.

And I wasn't trying to open up
the door anymore either.

What I did to him,

it didn't give me any peace.

I found my peace

when I decided
to never kill again.

To never kill
anything again.

When I decided
to settle things,

I went back to Atlanta
to turn myself in.

That's how I found out
the world ended.

But the world hasn't ended.

Progress.

My daughter drew this
on the hallway wall of our house.

She thought I'd get mad.

I just put a frame around it.

After I went back, when I found out
I couldn't turn myself in

because there was no one
to turn myself in to,

I went back home
to cut this from the wall.

I lost the car on the way back.

I walked through 30 miles of the dead
for a piece of drywall.

Scariest thing I ever did.

Best thing I ever did.

You can stay here.

You have enough food,
power, security.

For the rest of your life,
you could stay here.

But you shouldn't stay here.

Can't expect such a splendid guest
as yourself to show up.

You stay here,
you'll be alone.

You were alone.

Everything is about people.

Everything in this life
that's worth a damn.

It couldn't be just me.
It shouldn't be just you.

Hell, Tabitha's gone now.

I'm ready.

I have a gun in
the lockbox out there.

Here.

Oh, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait.

Hope it's lucky for you, too,

whatever you decide.

I've decided.

And that's it.

Every last bit.

You think it can work out
that way with me?

Yes.

I think it can.

Maybe.

You noticed
I'm shaking a little?

Sweating a little?

Oh, man.

I saw how settled this place was
in the pictures I found.

I thought maybe there'd be
something here.

Medicine to help this.

But that was before
you people won.

So I know I'm probably
going to die.

But if I don't...

I am going to have
to kill you, Morgan.

I'm going to have to kill
every person here.

Every one of them.
The children, too.

Just like your friend
Eastman's children.

Those are the rules.

That's my code.

I'd say I'm sorry,

but you said it, right?

Don't ever be sorry.

Open the gate!

Open the gate!
