Deanna begins to question her leadership. Meanwhile, Maggie shares a secret with Aaron while searching for Glenn, as the herd approaches the safe-zone.


Previously on
amc's the walking dead

There's a horn
or something!

Half of them broke off.

They're going
towards alexandria.

You keep going!

I'll get the rv.

I'll get in front of them
before they get there.

I can lead them away again.

You just get home.

Come inside.

I can keep you safe.



Up here!

Nicholas, don't!

Look at me!

The town was overrun.

He split off
with nicholas.

He had this idea
that...

If he lit a fire,
it would stop the walkers
from coming here.

I tried to go instead.

I wanted to.

The fire never got lit.

We had to keep going.

I'm sorry.

He said
if he got stuck,

He would find a way
to send us a signal.



A signal?

Open the gate!

Open the gate!

Open the gate now!

You can hear it.

Some of you saw it.

They got back here,
half of them.

Still enough
to surround us 20 deep.

Look, i know
you're scared.

You haven't seen
anything like this.

You haven't been through
anything like this.

But we're safe
for now.

The panel the truck hit
seems intact.

We reinforced it
just in case.

Either way, the wall's
gonna hold together.

Can you?

The others,
they're gonna be back.

They're gonna be back.

Daryl, abraham, sasha,
they have vehicles.

They're gonna lead 'em away,
just like the others.

And glenn and nicholas
are gonna walk back through
the front gate after.

They know
what they're doing,

And we know
what we need to do.

We keep noise
to a minimum.

Pull our blinds
at night.

Even better,
keep the lights out.

We'll try to make this place
as quiet as a graveyard,
see if they move on.

This place
is a graveyard.

( banging, growling
continue )

The quarry broke open

And those walkers
were heading this way.

All of them.

The plan that rick
put into place

Stopped that
from happening.

He got half
of them away.

I was out there
recruiting with daryl.

I wanted to try
to get into a cannery
and scavenge,

And daryl wanted
to keep looking for people.

We did what i wanted...

And we wound up in a trap
set by those people.

And i lost my pack.

They must've
followed our tracks.

Those people
who attacked us...

They found
their way back here
because of me.

There'll be more
to talk about.

Deanna?

Deanna?

( walkers growling,
thudding )

Don't.

We don't bury killers
inside the walls.

We aren't going out there.

So what do we do?

We wait.

I can't even make
two meals out of this.

The soups and sauces
can be stretched out
with some extra water.

What difference does
that make if we'll
be dead tomorrow?

We have to ration now--
i can't.

I can't spend whatever time
i have left watching
my family starve.

Wait.
I'm sorry.

Sorry, olivia.
I just don't see
the point.

Hey. Hey!

Stop.

Right now,
stop it.

This stuff
is for everyone.

We need to make it last
if we're gonna survive.

Why don't you go make sure
the gate's closed, spencer?

Yeah.
That was me.

I did that.

But that truck
outside the walls,

It'd be inside
if it wasn't for me.

I did that, too.

If i didn't,
maybe we wouldn't
be talking right now.

Where were you, bruce?

Doing this will
start us down a road
where nothing matters.

Where no one else
matters.

And then we'll all look back
at this moment right now

As when we destroyed
this place.

( distant walkers
growling )

You're going out?

The flashlights,
the rebar, the rope.

You lower
them off the wall
a good distance apart,

Maybe spin them.

That way, the walkers
are drawn to each one

And you open up a path.

Now you're gearing up.

Just waiting
for dark, right?

What happens when
you twist an ankle
jumping down?

Hmm?

Or you just
get slowed down
by one of them

And then you
have to deal
with all of them?

I can't let you do this.

You can't stop me.

I'm going to help you.

And i know
a safer way out.

Spencer?
Yeah.

I--

My bad.

Are you drunk?

Getting there.

This came
from the pantry.

You-- you stole it?

I wouldn't
call it that.

So what you
told everyone...

That was
just bullshit?

No. If they all went in
and raided the pantry

And everyone
knew it, saw it,

Then that
would be the end.

But one person?

One person,
and no one ever
would know.

So, why not me?

I stopped that little run
at the bank.

I deserve a reward.

One last celebration.

Because they were
right, mom,

And you know it.

We're all gonna
be dead real soon.

Damn it, spencer!

Me?

Now that
is some bullshit!

You're the reason
we're so screwed.

You made us this way.

We were never safe here.

But you didn't
want to see that.

You didn't want us
to see that.

You just wanted
to dream.

What happened
to dad, to aiden,

That's all you.

( distant walkers
growling )

Hey.

You okay?

Why wouldn't i be?

Have you seen enid?

Not since i saw her
with you.

I think she went over the wall
just before the herd came

And now she's
trapped out there.

What makes you think
she isn't dead?

Come on, man.

Look...

I'll go find her.

I just need your help.

If you maybe climb up--
i'm not helping you, carl.

This isn't for me.

It's for enid.

Your friend.
My girlfriend.

Or, i mean,
'cause she was
anyway, right?

So you want to just
leave her out there?

I told her to stop
going over the wall,

I told her there's
bad people out there

And that it's stupid
and dangerous.

Not if you know
what you're doing.

Well, i'm not
gonna let you go.

Carl.

Carl, you're not
going out there.

Back off.

All right.

I'll tell your dad.

He'll go out there
to find you, then other
people will, too.

And then somebody's
gonna die.

Huh?

You saved my life
and now i'm saving yours.

Sorry.

Got away from me.

You're still here.

Don't.

'kay.

Won't tell you
you're being brave, either.

He hasn't woken up.
His wound's infected.

I don't know
what the hell to do,

So it doesn't really
matter what i'm being.

Yeah, but you're
still here.

Why are you here?

My head hurts.

On a scale
of one to 10, how bad?

I'm lying.

I'm just
checking on you.

Well...

Here i am.

clueless on the floor.

You patched people up.

You're helping
make things better.

I think he's gonna die.

And i'm so scared about
what's happening in here

That i can't think
about what's happening
out there.

And that's actually good.

And i don't know
what to do with that.

I just want him to live
and for the roamers
to go away.

And for a doctor
to show up at the gates

So i can go back
to my apartment

And keep reading
"war and peace."

But here comes
the end of the world.

He's not dead yet.

I don't know
about that.

It's not like
i don't feel it.

You know,
being afraid sucks.

I used to not
want to see...

The way things are.

It's not
that i couldn't.

It's that i--
i didn't want to.

But this is what life
looks like now.

We have to see it.

We have to fight it.

If we don't fight,
we die.

I thought you said
we weren't going over.

We're not.

We're going under.

This leads to a sewer

That was part of
the old neighborhood

That was here before
they built this up.

It'll take us
under the wall...

...And hopefully
past the walkers.

Thanks...

But i'm going
on my own from here.

Maggie...
No.

Please.

I can't--
i can't watch more names
go up on that wall.

If he's alive--
If?

He told michonne
he would've found

Some way to signal us
if he got out.

If he's alive or he's hurt
or trapped, maybe taken.

If he's alive,
he needs my help.

That's why
i'm doing this.

And if he's dead,
i don't want to be
waiting on him.

None of this is your fault.
You don't need to do this.

People are dead.

I was a part of that.

And i have
to live with that.

I haven't been down here
since the beginning.

Ah.

Oh.

This ladder must've
fallen a long time ago.

Let's try and get it
out of here.

Yeah.
On three, ready?

One, two, three.

One, two, three.

Aaron!

Ah.

I'm okay.
The ladder caught me.

You okay?

Yeah.

Thank you.

Aaron... Your head.

Come here.

This could need stitches.
Aaron, just go back.

No.
Yes.

I was just there for you.
I could have done it.

Just lead the way.

Please?

( monitor beeping
steadily )

Hot damn.

( monitobeeping
steadily )

Hot damn.

daryl, sasha,
abraham, you copy?

Rick?

Can i come up?

Yeah.

You haven't
seen it.

No.

Enid, she, uh...

She used to sneak
over the walls,

Spend time out there.

You know,
i don't know why.
She just wanted to.

But, um...

I think
she went out there
after the attack.

What, she's
still out there?

Yeah.

We don't know
where she is.

You know, but she knows
how to take care of herself.

And we can't
go out there.

Carl wanted to try.

I stopped him.
I told him i'd
tell you if he did.

And then, um--
i don't know.

I just thought
i should tell you--

Do you know
where he is now?

Yeah, he's back
at the house.

I saw him on the porch
with judith.

I can keep guard,
if you want.

Down there,
they're guarding
the place now.

This is just about
keeping an eye out
for the others

That aren't back,
looking for a sign
from glenn.

All right.

Thank you.

Um...

So i was thinking
about what you said
back at the quarry.

And, uh, i mean,
you're right.

I need to know
how to protect myself

And my mom and brother.

This place.

So can you teach me
how to shoot?

( growling,
pounding continue )

There's your target.

Just relax.

How is he?

Ahem.

What is it?

It's the end
of the world.

No, it's not.

Yeah, being
afraid sucks.

We're still too close.

We just have to get
through a few of them,
then we're gone.

No.

You ready?

No, we can't.

You can stay.
I'll go.

No.

No!

Maggie.
It's over!

I burned his
last picture of him

Because i said i wasn't
gonna need it anymore.

Because i was
never gonna be
away from him again.

I'm pregnant.

He didn't want me
to go out there
and i said yes.

And if i would've gone...

If i was with him,
maybe i could've helped him.

I don't know
if he's alive.

He would've shown me by now.
That's what michonne said.

I just want
to see his face.

I can't.

I don't get to know
what will happen.

I won't get to know
why it happened,

What i did
right or wrong.

Not now.

I have to live with that.
You do, too.

Sam, i made you
some cookies.

Could you bring them
up here, please?

No, sam.

Why?

Why don't you wanna
come downstairs?

I just don't
wanna go down there.

Why?

I just...

It didn't change
up here.

Well, i'm more
than halfway up,

So technically
i'm upstairs.

You can come here
and you won't be
downstairs.

No, it's okay, then.

I'm going to talk that way
because that's how it is!

It is now, i know,
but you can't--

It was a lie.

The fact that we're alive--
it's a joke.

All this...

Come on,
you son of a bitch.

Carol said she got
one of them,

But she couldn't
find the body.

He must have been
under there.

I want to live.

I want this place
to stay standing.

You need to lead them.

They don't need me, rick.

What they need is you.

What i wanted
for this place,

Was it really
just pie in the sky?

No.

( walkers growling,
banging )

I'll be right back.

When he gets back,
it's worth mentioning

That aaron, erin,

Works for a boy
or a girl,

Depending
on the spelling.

Just saying.

What?

I'm your relief.

I thought
carol was up.

She was.
I volunteered
to take her place.

You know, i never got
a chance to say it, but...

You did good
with the truck,

Taking out the driver.

You know,
if it weren't for you,

This wall might not
be standing right now.

I just got lucky.

Good or lucky,
it doesn't really
matter.

Just keep doing
what you're doing.

Those bodies
by the graveyard...

The reason i wanted
to wait was...

Was glenn.

We don't know
if he's still out there.

And daryl,
sasha, abraham.

I wanted them
back by now.

I wanted
those things gone.

I just wanted to wait.

You said it could
go on a while.

I did and it could.

Rick, it already has.

They could still be alive.

We're not
moving past that.

You know,
it's just--

Right here,
in this moment...

This is it,
this is what it is.

"this is what life
looks like now."

You heard about that?

I wasn't saying
there wasn't a future.

There's gotta be.

Tell me there's more.
