hey, darlin'.

Wake up.

Abraham: Hey, darlin'.
Wake up.



What is it?
Do we need to --

no, no, no.
We're okay for now.

Well, good afternoon
to you.

You're here.

Yeah.

And I'm feelin'
all kinds of glad

to see you right now.

Are they back?

Not yet.

I know
you were pullin' late shift,

and you wanna tonight,

so I didn't want
to wake you up.

Maggie's in trouble.

What?



Something with the baby.

Rick's taking her
to the doctor at hilltop.

He doesn't know it yet,
but I'm going with him.

I just...

I know we just started this,
but I wanted you to --

don't.

"Don't" what?

Don't go.

Welcome to the first day
of the rest of your life, Sasha.

You are gonna help make sure
things get back on track today.

You are smart,
hot as hell,

dignified as shit,

and you don't suffer
one goddamn fool.

No one's gonna wanna
watch you die.

I don't wanna see that.

So you don't have to.

But someone does.

Maybe a couple others --
tops.

But not you
and not most people.

We are gonna help solve
some shit.

Tuck in.

Big day.

What do you need
from me?

Rick: Look at me.

Why?

'Cause I want it stopped.

I want negan dead.

So why don't you kill him?

Can't just be me.

They're all negan.

That girl you murdered...

She had a name.

Her name was Denise,
and she was a doctor.

And she helped people.

I wasn't aiming
for her.

Do it. Do it.

You wanna end it this way...

You go ahead.

I'm sorry.
I am.

I know you want to.

He could just be here
to see if you were here.

We can't trust him.

Dwight: He owned me.

But not anymore.

What I did, I was doing it
for someone else.

She just got away.

So now I'm here.

So are you
because of her.

Tara: Do it!

There's another choice.
Daryl.

Daryl, you knew her.
Negan trusts me.

We work together,
we can stop him.

You knew me then,
and you know me now.

You know I'm not lying.

I'm not.

Do it.

Do it!

They have Sasha,
if she's even alive.

Jesus: Why didn't
you say something?

He could be our only chance
to get her back.

Rosita:
Because I don't trust him.

But I trust Daryl.

Negan's coming soon.

Tomorrow.

Three trucks probably.

20 saviors and him.

I can slow them down,

bring some trees down
in the road,

buy a little time
for you guys to get ready.

If you can take them out,
that's where we start.

You kill them, I'll radio
back to the sanctuary.

The sanctuary?

Where negan lives.

That's what they call it.

I can radio back to them
and say everything's okay.

You drive the trucks back,

and I can lead you
right inside,

and, with the right plan,
we can wipe out the rest.

Check to see if your friend's
still alive.

Then, we get
the workers on our side,

build our numbers up,

and go from outpost
to outpost and end this.

Keep talking.

Rick: We just started it --
the whole thing.

If he's lyin', I'm gonna
kill him real slow.

When this is done,

I don't give a damn
if he's sorry.

I will kill
that son of a bitch.

If he's lying,

this is already over.

oh, I gotta go.

Abraham: Oh, I gotta go.

Fact is, I figured we'd --

I had a dream.

You...

You had a dream about me?

You died.

Negan:
That's the plan.

That's what I need
from you.

And when you come out,
not a peep.

They will stand down,
if they haven't already.

And then, Lucille here,
well, she gets her three,

and we move forward
with a new understanding.

Are you --
are you shitting me?

Is that real?

I can do it,
but no one has to die.

You are wrong.

Punishment --

can't do anything
without that.

Punishment is how we built
everything we have.

You think I'm gonna sit here
and let you --

careful!

You are not letting me
do anything.

No one has to die.

Okay.

How about this?

One.

Just one.

I mean, I was gonna
pull three outta the pool,

but just one

and just for you.

Okay.

Just one person
has to die.

You got me wrapped
around your little finger.

You know that?

And it's not
a man/woman thing.

I mean,
if you had a dick,

I would still have
these feelings.

We roll out in 45.

so we don't have oceanside,
but we have their guns.

Negan has Sasha.

Daryl wants us
to trust Dwight.

Rick wants us to stay here
in case things go wrong

so there's
another card to play,

another safe place
the saviors think they control.

But he doesn't know
that Gregory's gone...

That maybe
he's telling them things

that'll make them think
something else.

And it's all
about to happen.

You're thinking of leading
the hilltop over there to fight.

I am.

If negan finds out
they're planning something,

they're gonna need help,

even with those scavengers
on their side.

Well, you'd have
to decide right now,

and it's
a very tough decision.

Why are you smiling?

'Cause I'm glad you're
the one making it for us.

Judith:

How do I?

Jesus: I don't know.

I just know you can.

Let me take her.

You take this.

Enid: Yeah.

Mm. Hmm?

guns up, now.

What the hell?
He's dead.

What is it?

We've seen this before.

Morgan: Same ones.

Jerry: Dude, you okay?

You're gonna ambush them
on your own?

Yeah.

Going alone
doesn't work for this.

It works for me.

Have you killed
any of them?

Because if you have
and they've found out,

they may think
it was the kingdom,

and we lose
our advantage.

It's from walkers.

Daniel:
Can we move them aside?

Do you seek to extinguish
everything of who you were?

I don't seek it, but...

I'm stuck.

You want
the saviors dead?

Morgan.
Yes, I do.

Cease this folly.

Accompany my regiment.

The saviors are a dragon
with many heads,

their numbers legion.

We must seek allies
in this endeavor.

That's Benjamin's armor.

Do you wear it to serve you,
or do you wear it in his honor?

Morgan...

You are not stuck.

Join us on this journey
to create an alliance.

Fight with us,

and we shall defeat them
so that no one will suffer

under their capricious
malevolence ever again.

And we start
once more for the fallen...

For the kingdom...

Ezekiel:
...For the glory of victory.

Ho!

What you fight for.

Not the place --
the people, each other.

You're a part of that now.

We take.
We don't bother --our way.

Maybe another way.

Yours?

Yeah, we're together.

I lay with him after.

You care?

We should get back to work.
Yeah.

Think this was them?

Negan:
Crossed my mind.

We got a plan "b."

If I might be so bold...

This unexpected stoppage
has given me

the chance
for an exhaustive mull.

Now, given
the loaded circumstances

and potential for casualties
and resource expenditure,

I was wondering if you would
give me the opportunity

to attempt to slow their jets
and cool their roll.

you shoot
one of these before?

Good.

Worry?

No.

Good.

I'll be
on the next one over.
Why?

It's more sight lines
if we split up.

I'll go.

You sure?

Okay.

we win.

Yeah.

you know
what's gonna happen,

how this is gonna end.

You know
what's gonna happen,

how this is gonna end.

We're gonna walk
out that door together.

We kick shit
and eat snakes.

That's us.
We can sit this one out.

They need us here, anyway.

Rick said to get ready
for a fight.

How'd I die?

We were at the beach.

It was before.

Mm.

You got pulled under...

And you didn't
come back up.

I was trying to find you,
but you were gone.

And then,
i started to drown.

I hate the beach.

End of the day
in a wet suit?

It's like you're sandblasting
your nutsack

every single step
you take back to the car.

Luckily, the seaside ain't
on the agenda today.

Just security
and some road to chew.

All right?
So, come on.

Let's go help Maggie.
Abraham.

What?

They can use us here.

Just once,
we sit one out.

Someone else --
it should be us.

Maggie's gotta take care
of Maggie.

Have you, uh,
changed your mind

about taking
that allergy medication?

Yes.
Good.

I think you'll get adjusted
to the place, sinus-wise.

No, I won't.

Not like you.

Everyone has a way out.

Don't go and yuck my yum
for takin' mine,

which, I may add,
is the same as yours now.

If people die today, it's 'cause
of the choices they made.

Yeah. It is.

Why are we here?

For this.

Rosita.

Get into position.

I'll signal you.

And the wall's gonna hold?

It'll hold.

Eugene:
All points are covered.

Every contingency is
already met.

I come armed
with two barrels of the truth.

A test is upon you,

and I'm giving out
the cheat sheet.

H-hello.

I come salved with the hope
that it is my dropped knowledge

that you heed.

Options are zero to none.

Compliance and fealty are
your only escape.

Bottom-lining it --
you may thrive, or you may die.

I sincerely wish
for the former

for everyone's sake.

The jig is up
and in full effect.

Will you comply, Rick?

Where's negan?

I'm negan.

no.

We win.

you ever hear the one about the
stupid little prick named Rick

who thought he knew shit
but didn't know shit

and got everyone he
that gave a shit about killed?

Negan:
It's about you.

You're all gonna wanna put
your guns down now.

No one drops anything.

We had a deal.

Tamiel came
for the boat things.

Followed ones who took.

Made a better deal.

Negan: You push me,
and you push me.

And you push me, Rick.

You just tried
to blow us up, right?

I mean,
i get me, my people.

But Eugene?

He's one of yours.

And after what he did --
he stepped up.

You people...

Are animals.

Universe gives you a sign,
and you just

shove your finger
right up its ass.

Dwight, Simon, chop-chop.

So, you don't like Eugene
anymore.

You guys gotta like Sasha.

I do, too.

Got her right here
packaged for your convenience,

alive and well.

Now, I brought her so I wouldn't
have to kill all of you,

and not killing all of you
could get complicated.

See, I know there's a lot of
firepower left in there, Rick.

So I'm gonna make this simple.

I want all the guns
you've managed to scrape up.

Yep, I know
about those, too.

I want every last grain
of lemonade you got left.

I want a person
of your own choosing...

For Lucille.

Daryl --

ooh, I gotta get me
my Daryl back.

I see you.

And the pool table

and all the pool cues
and chalk.

And I want it now

or Sasha dies,

and then all of you.

Probably.

C'mon, Rick.

Just because I brought her
in a casket

doesn't mean
she has to leave in it.

You know what?

You suck ass, Rick.

You really do.

I don't want
to have to kill her,

but that's exactly
what you're gonna make me do.

Let me see her.

Oh.

All right.
Just give me a second.

I might have
to get her up to speed.

You can't hear shit
inside this thing.

sash.

You're not gonna believe
this crap.

it felt real.

It felt real.

Like we lost this.

And this just started.

C'mon.
Wait.

I like the way
you call bullshit.

So let me return
the favor.

The next thing
you're gonna tell me

is that you'll go
and that I can stay.

Because I know you didn't like
hearing yourself just say

that, "Maggie's gotta
take care of Maggie."

I know those words
are gonna choke in your ears

a good, long while

and you're gonna wanna make up
for even thinking that.

Am I right?

Yeah.

We lay our big meaties
across the chopping block

ahead of someone else's.

It's always
for someone else.

Both of us know,
if we're gonna kick,

there sure as hell better be
a point to it.

So maybe we feel there was
a-a point to all of this.

Alpha to omega.

Whether it's
on the battlefield or the beach

or somewhere
out there today.

Maggie --

she's carrying
the future.

you're right.

I knew
how this was gonna end.

C'mon.

Layin' your ass
on the line for someone else,

tearin' it to shreds
for 'em --

you said it before.

Oh, my, that is living.

You're an idiot.

I never said otherwise.

A couple hours
to get there, right?

At least.

Might be a circuitous
and janky route.

With what they're planning,

they could be watching
the roads.

"What they're planning."

That's right.

Got it in the marketplace.
It's chock-full.

Doubt conversation will be
on tap for the commute.

And though
i am a selfish coward,

I do tend to think
of other people on occasion.

Please take it
with my compliments.

I truly wish
i measured up.

you still can, Eugene.

I'm not giving up.

Not on you.

Jesus, you don't have to take
the trip in the thing.

I could use the rest.

No shit?

Yeah.

I just want
to go to sleep.

I just need a little bottle
of water, and I'm fine.

Arat?

Listen...

I know
how tough this is.

And I appreciate it.

damn, you are
something else.

Sash.

You're not gonna believe
this crap.

Holy goddamn!

man: Go! Go!

no.

Aah!

Honey, god damn it!

Plan "b" it is!

Down. Now.

We can make another deal.

Aah!

Aah!

Said "down."

Move.

hello again.

farron:

Michonne:

Aah!

Down.
Or again.

Well, shit, Rick.

You just couldn't
stick with us, huh?

You had to go with
these filthy garbage people?

No offense.

Deal is for 12, yes?

10.

People are a resource.

12.

10.

Rick.

This is just gonna
make you sad.

Broken.

You're gonna wish
you were dead.

I like having fun.

I do.

But maybe you think
that the guy that did

what he did
to your friends wasn't me,

like that was some sort
of a put-on,

like I'm not
the guy with the bat --

I'm just the guy that makes
your kid spaghetti.

Oh.

Oh, shit.

Maybe this is on me.

Maybe this is
all on me.

I gotta make it right.

I guess I gotta start
all over again.

I gotta tell you, Rick,

if I had a kid,

I'd want him
to be just like your kid,

which makes this
so much harder.

You're not gonna win.

Carl.

It is over.

Why don't you point
your one ball

up the street there
and take it all in?

We'll win!

We live!

We're the ones!

Us!

Ohh.

Oh.

Wow.

You just lost
somebody important to you

right now --
like, just now.

Jesus.

That is timing.

Well, Rick...

You chose this.

I truly don't know what more
i could've done to warn you.

And this isn't a warning.

This is punishment.

I'm gonna kill Carl now.

I'm gonna make it
one nice, hard swing,

try to do it in one
because I like him.

I just want you
to put that in your brain

and roll it around
for a minute.

I'm gonna kill Carl,
and then Lucille here,

she's gonna take
your hands.

You can do it
right in front of me.

You can take my hands.

I told you already --

I'm gonna kill you.

All of you.

Maybe not today,
maybe not tomorrow...

But nothing is
gonna change that --

nothing.

You're all already dead.

Damn.

Wow, Rick.

Okay.

Negan:

You said I could do it.

Man:

End these saviors
and their accomplices!

Alexandria will not fall,
not on this day!

Aah!

Phalanx out,
third group, now!

Move up!
Now we got your backs!

A goddamn tiger!

that widow is alive,
guns a-blazin'!

You taste that, Simon?
That is the taste of shit!

Rick:
They're falling back.

Maggie: Eduardo, bertie,
between the houses --

cover the gate!

Let's go.

Ezekiel:
Now we finish this!

now!

pull!

Michonne.

Michonne.

Oh, you're alive.

We -- w-we're...

We're...

I know. I know.

I know.

We are.

We will.

Getting preparations
in place.

Everyone's
on "blue level."

You say the word,
they're ready to go.

That's good.

How the hell do you think
she wound up dead in that box?

My, um, best possible posit
fingers the tarp.

That sealed up said box
good and tight.

She ran out of air.

maybe.

So...

We are going to war!

All: Yes, sir!

Rick: Do you think
Sasha did that herself?

Maggie: I don't know how,
but I know she did.

she gave us a chance.
You did.

You made
the right decision to come.

The decision was made
a long time ago,

before any of us knew
each other,

when we were all strangers
who would have

just passed each other
on the street

before the world ended.

And now we mean everything
to each other.

you were in trouble.
You were trapped.

Glenn didn't know you,
but he helped you.

He put himself in danger
for you.

And that started it all --

from Atlanta,
to my daddy's farm,

to the prison,

to here...

to this moment now...

Not as strangers --

as family...

because Glenn chose
to be there for you that day

a long time ago.

That was the decision
that changed everything.

it started
with both of you,

and it just grew...

To all of us...

To sacrifice
for each other...

to suffer and stand,

to grieve, to give,

to love, to live...

To fight for each other.

Glenn made
the decision, Rick.

I was just following
his lead.
