Rachel:
It's gross.

Just throw it back.

(Cyndie scoffs)
It'll dry out.

- It smells terrible.
- (groaning)

We can empty it out,

stuff it full of
Miss Iris' sage,

and some of
the lavender, too.

Then what?

Then you have
an awesome bear



that survived
the stormy sea, Rachel.

I had one just like this
when I was your age, and--

Oh, shit! Look!

Don't run!

One hit.

I didn't have to twice.

Not bad, huh?

- (spear squelches)
- Yeah.

Look!
Another one!

(sighs)

Come on.
Don't run!

Cyndie: Wait!

She's not a bobber.

(birds cawing)



She's alive.

We still gotta do it.

No.

We don't have to do it.

Yes, we do.

No, we don't,
not if people don't find out.

We're supposed to.

I want to.

I don't.

So we won't.

Are you gonna tell?

Just tell me
if you're gonna tell,

if you're a snitch.

I'm not a snitch.

But I'm not
going to help.

(birds cawing)

(water splashes)

(sighs)

(grunting)

(music playing)

(birds chirping)

Eight rusty cans
of okra

and a bottle
of aspirin.

That's what we got to show
for our time out here...

other than the fact
that we're still standin'.

Rule number one
of scavenging--

there's nothing left
in this world that isn't hidden.

We just
have to find it.

Mm, good.

We just
have to find it.

For a second there...
(chuckles) I was worried.

Listen, we went farther
than we were supposed to.

There's nothing left
out here.

We don't even have
enough gas to keep looking

even if we wanted to,
okay?

We said we'd be gone
for two weeks.

It's been two weeks.

As long as Hilltop keeps
their side of the bargain,

we have food
at home.

We need ammo.

We need medicine.

(scoffs)

We can't go back
like this.

There's people
counting on us.

Why you acting like
you don't know that?

I'm not sure that means much
to me anymore.

What we did
at the satellite station...

all of those people
that we killed...

You didn't see it,
okay?

You just saw
what was left.

No.

I had to do it, too.

Yeah,
we all had to...

for some milk
and some corn.

That wasn't
the only reason.

And yeah, we did.

You know we did.

See, that's--
that's the thing.

You saw
how we were living back home

before you guys
got there.

We didn't know shit.

We thought...

- (chuckles)
- What?

What?

It doesn't matter.

I get it now.

If it's you or someone else,
you choose you.

You take what you can,
you take out who you have to,

and you
get to keep going.

(scoffs)

Nobody's in this together, okay?

Not anymore.

HEY-

It only hurts because
you know what you just said

is total bullshit.

That's not you,
Heath.

Tara...

that's me...

that's you...

and that's everybody
who wants to stay alive.

That's the truth.

We can push towards the shore,
but after today...

we go back.

Even if we just have
those rusty cans.

(keys jingle)

(engine starts)

(chatter,
children laughing in distance)

(clock ticking)

(waves splashing, birds calling)

Woman:
No, I got it. Thanks.

Woman #2: Did they find anything
out there yesterday?

Ev said
she reached the mouth.

Are you serious?

What'd she see?
Nothing.

All the way
down there.

Not a damn thing.

(door creaks)

(children laughing)

(laughter continues,
door closes)

(indistinct conversations)

(conversations continue)

(woman laughs)

(door creaks)

(door closes)

" (gunshots)
-(gasps)

(gunshots)

(grunts)

(panting)

Go ahead.

(gun cocks)

(gun thuds)

Doesn't matter.

We're supposed to.

Rachel, no.

(guns cocking)

Hi.

I just, uh...
I didn't mean to.

(chuckles nervously)

Look, I'm cool.

I'm not here
to hurt anyone.

Rachel...

everyone,
just lower your guns.

Cyndie,
get away from her!

Cyndie: She hasn't
done anything wrong.

That has nothing
to do with it.

Get away!

Tara:
I'm sorry.

I just walked in--
crawled.

I didn't even know
I was in.

I'm sorry.

I can just go.

Okay.

(chuckles nervously)

This is cool, too.

We just
keep doing this.

(birds chirping)

(grunts)

What do we think?

Lotta blind spots
down there.

(Tara sighs)

(grunts)

(grunts)

(bottle shatters)

(door creaks)

Let's check
behind the tarps first.

(sighs)

(birds calling)

Looks like they had plans
for something.

Looks like they didn't
get to finish.

It's heavy.

Could be something good
in there.

(grunts)

Tara.

(grunting)

Hold on.
Hold on!

(grunts)

(walkers growling)

(grunting)

Kenn-shun

That way! Go!

(walker growling)

Heath!
Tara!

Heath!

(bells ringing in distance)

(air horn blows)

Natania: We just need to hear
what she has to say.

Beatrice: No. The longer we wait,
the more our community's at risk.

Natania: We agreed to discuss this
together as a group

if someone ever got in.

We made that decision
a long time ago.

(door opens)

(sighs)

Do you, uh,
need to use the bathroom

before we get started?

Wow.

Uh, no.

Um, thank you.

But maybe...

I'm Natania.

This is Kathy and Beatrice,
whom you've already met.

(bells continue)

Am I the only one
hearing bells?

They're ours.

We have six of them--

some nearby,
some a couple of miles away.

What about
the air horn?

We could only find
so many bells.

They are to redirect
any of the dead

that might have been drawn
by it.

(sighs)
Not bad.

It helps sometimes.

But a branch in the wind,
leaves rustling...

we're lucky
this is a relatively clear area.

The evacuations,
the barges--

if they were even real.

So...

where are you from?

Atlanta...

a long time ago.

I just stayed on the move.

My friend and I--
we've been traveling around

on our own for a couple of years now.

We used to work
on a fishing boat.

There's someone
with you?

There was.

We got separated.

What kind of fishing boat
did you work on--

trawler, seiner,
larder?

Oh, last one.
You got it.

What were you
doing here?

You must understand,
we get nervous

when people just
find their way into our home.

Yeah,
I-l saw that.

My friend and I--
we found this settlement

built on a bridge,
or what was left of it.

We were scavenging,

and we got attacked
by walkers-- the dead.

We were trying
to get away from them,

and I got
knocked off a bridge.

I fought the current,
wound up in the inlet.

The estuary?

The bay?

Look, I'm not good
with geography.

I just thought
I was dead out there.

And I got to the shore,
and I just passed out.

Beatrice:
It's the bridge on Windsor.

You-- you know
how to get there?

We do.

She didn't answer
the question.

I didn't?

What was the question?

What were you
doing here?

When that girl, Cyndie,
brought me food,

I just pretended like I was out
and I followed her back.

It seemed like
she had a camp,

and I wanted to see
if I could get any help.

Then why were you
sneaking around?

I wanted to see
if it was safe.

Still not sure.

Look, I'm sorry
that I freaked you out.

Really.

But if you just point me
in the right direction, I'm gone.

I need to get back to the bridge
and look for my friend.

If we let you go,
you have us at a disadvantage.

You know a great deal
about us now.

- "If" you let me go?
- Yes.

You see, normally,
we would've killed you already.

We shoot strangers on sight
if they come into our camp.

But Beatrice said
you spared your life,

and my granddaughter almost
lost hers trying to save you--

"that girl," Cyndie.

So it leaves us
with the question still

of what to do
with you instead.

Yeah.

That's a pickle,
all right.

Why don't you rest up?

We'll talk more later.

Maybe one of us will have
a brainstorm.

(handcuffs rattle)

Cool.

(door creaks)

(children laughing)

(door creaks)

(lock clicks)

(crickets chirping)

(door creaks)

(door creaks)

Natania:
Hope you like fish.

Uh, the dried kind?

She brought you
salted perch.

(chuckles)

Natania:
Did you like it?

Sure.

No, you didn't.

(chuckles)

Not so much.

We're having stew.

Oh, that's right--

you two haven't formally met,
have you?

Tara,
this is Cyndie.

HEY-

Uh, thank you
for the beach and...

everything out there.

I mean, you saved my life.
(chuckles)

You did.

I mean, I don't know if your
grandma totally approves, but...

(chuckles)

My mom would've.

She showed me
the way.

A way.

I was trying
to show Rachel.

The little girl?

Yeah.

She hasn't
had to do it yet.

Have you?

I'm a really good shot.

Natania:
Yes, you are.

Okay, let's eat.

Let's talk.

Beatrice: Tara.

When was the last time
you ate?

Do soy-sauce packets
count as food?

We have an endless supply
of fish here--

one of the perks
of living so close to the ocean.

You, um,
you think, Tara,

it's something
you could get used to?

I'm hoping
to convince you to stay.

Wait. What?

Why not?

It would be the perfect solution
to our problem.

We keep our village
a secret,

and you'd get
to put down roots.

You're a skilled fighter, Tara,
and a good person.

I can tell that.

You wouldn't be
leaving anything behind.

And if you want, we can help you
find your friend.

And if he wants to stay,
we'll offer him a home, too.

He could stay here?

Is there a reason
why not?

I mean...

well, I never thought
I'd be asking this,

but where are
all the men?

All of them?

(sighs) We got into a skirmish
with another group.

None of them made it.

And we lost others, too.

Cyndie had an 11-year-old
brother, my grandson,

and their mother, too,
my daughter.

After that,

we decided to protect ourselves,
no matter what.

No matter who we crossed,
we would kill on sight.

We left our old home with just
the clothes on our backs.

And then
we found this place.

We would stay hidden.

And we would
stay alive.

Tara, you could have hurt us,
and you didn't.

L-I know we must sound like
monsters to you,

but I had to
be honest

so maybe you could understand
why we do it.

Maybe you could...

consider staying.

And maybe you
could be honest with us

about where you're from.

I was telling you
the truth.

Really?

You said you worked on
a fishing boat, a larder.

That's right.

Tara, a larder is a room
used for storing meat.

Yeah.
I was lying.

(chuckles)

(inhales deeply)

I come from a community.

And that's really
what it is.

We live with each other.
We help each other.

We have walls,
houses.

I have a girlfriend
I want to get back to.

And we've done things...

just like you.

(sighs)

There were these people.

They were threatening us.

We found out they were using
an old satellite station

to operate out of.

We went out there
in the middle of the night,

and we...

took them out,
every one of them.

These people
got what they deserved.

They chose to kill
and to terrorize people,

but that's not
why we killed them.

We didn't do it to make
the world a better place.

We did it because we wanted
to stay alive, just like you.

And I know that you think
that me staying

is the only solution.

Well, how's this
for brainstorming--

maybe our groups
can start working together.

We just told you

that we don't want anyone
to know about this place.

You can't
live like that forever.

I think we can.

Look, I--
(sighs)

I get why you're doing it,

but if you keep seeing everyone
as an enemy,

then enemies
are all you're gonna find.

Sooner or later,
you're gonna need a friend.

(sighs)
We can protect each other.

We'd be safer
than we are--

All right.

We could send a guide out
with her.

Help her
look for her friend,

and then continue on
to their community,

just-- just to see
what it's like.

Yeah, I'll do it.
(clears throat)

I want
to go with her.

Natania:
Absolutely not.

You left
without leaving a routing plan,

without signing
with the gate.

Cyndie, I thought
we were through with all this.

We are.

You will be staying
behind the fence

until you learn
some responsibility.

If this works out,

there will be
plenty of other chances.

And if it doesn't...

I don't want you there.

There will be
other chances.

(chuckles)

Are you sure there isn't
a fishing boat called a larder?

'Cause I'm, like,
pretty sure that--

- There isn't.
- Yeah. Fair enough.

Tara: This is
gonna get better--

people getting together.

That's how the world
is gonna be the world again.

Natania:
I hope you're right.

Be safe.

Where's Cyndie?

She's in the cabin,
sulking.

(chuckles)
We wouldn't be doing this

if it wasn't for her
breaking all the rules.

Good luck, Tara.

Yeah. Uh, you know,
we'll-- we'll work on that, Natania.

Thank you.

See you soon.

(indistinct conversations)

(Spits)

See you later,
Rachel.

Hey, Beatrice.

I'm sorry
about the hit.

Well,
you got lucky.

Yeah, I did.

How far are we
to the bridge?

About halfway there.

Stick close.

It's pretty thick
through here.

(walker growling)

(branches snapping)

(knife clangs)

I got it.

(growling)

(gunshots)

(grunting)

(breathing heavily)

(leaves rustling)

(both grunting)

(breathing heavily)

Please.

I could have killed you
back in the village.

Let me go.

You don't
have anything left.

Your people are dead.

(breathing heavily)

The Saviors.

That satellite post
you took out--

you have no idea
what you started.

We didn't start anything.

We ended it.
They're dead.

You didn't stop them.

You can't stop them.

That was just
an outpost.

There are more--
more Saviors...

more outposts.

If they know
about your friends...

it's already
too late for them.

The Saviors...

they did this to you?

They're the ones
that killed all your men?

Every man...

every boy over 10.

They lined 'em up
and shot 'em in the head.

You see,
we tried to fight...

just like you.

They won.

And we were supposed
to keep working for them.

Then one night,
we just left.

We got away, okay?

We are not gonna let you
lead them back to us.

They get what they want.

(sniffles)
I'm sorry you didn't get--

(grunts)
Go!Run!

(panting)

Cyndie: Wait!

(panting continues)

You're not
gonna shoot me.

Because I saved you?

Three times now.

You're not
gonna shoot me.

You have to swear...

that you'll never
come back

and that you'll never
tell anyone about us,

not even
your own people.

Why... would I come back?

Why would I tell anyone
about this place?

Because maybe you could
get something out of it--

anything.

Why did we kill those two people
who just came near us?

Why did you kill
all those people

at that satellite station?

Because you all thought
you had to.

But none of you had to.

You just did.

Nobody's evil.

They just decide
to forget who they are.

You have to swear.

Some people are evil,
Cyndie.

I've seen it.

That's why
I have to get back now.

You have to swear.

(sighs)

I swear.

Here.

Food and water.

(sniffles)
C'mon.

I'll take you
to the bridge.

Try not
to fall off this time.

(walkers growling)

Cyndie:
There's more, right?

Tara:
Yeah, a lot.

I'll use the cars as cover
until I can't anymore.

Then what?

I'll run.

I love to run.

It's my favorite thing.

You'll never make it.

Yeah, I will.

Let me help you.

You already did.
You got me here.

Just go back.
Tell them that I attacked you.

They know you,
Tara.

No, tell them
you killed me.

They know me.

You know
I'm not going anywhere

until you get
to the other side-- safe.

I've got my rifle.
I've got ammo.

I didn't get you here
just to watch you die.

So let's just get this
over with, okay?

Kathy and Beatrice--
they know we were coming here.

They're coming.

(breathing heavily)

Okay.

Why aren't you like
the rest of them,

after everything
that's happened?

Why aren't you?

Okay.

(walker growling)

(grunts)

. Aghrfwhng)

(walkers growling)

Okay,
up on that side.

Go!

(growling continues)

Kenn-shun

(growling continues)

(grunting)

(gunshots)

(gun clicks)

(sighs)

(growling continues)

Tara: Heath!

Heath!

Heath!

(walkers growling)

Kenn-shun

(gun clicks)

- (gun thuds)
- (grunts)

Heath, I'm coming!

I'm coming!

No! Go! Go!

We're in this together!

I know.

(walkers growling)

(walkers growling)

(grunting)

(grams)

Tara:
Maybe that was you.

I hope that was you.

("Everything's Fucked"
by The Dirty Three playing)

(walker growling)

(wind chimes clinking)

(music continues)

(gate clangs, squeaking)

(music continues)

(music fades)

I'm sorry, Tara.

I'm sorry, too.

We don't have to
just sit here.

Guns, ammunition...

you don't have
anyleads?

Anything, anywhere.

I don't care
how dangerous it looked.

Tell me a place.

I'll go.

There's gotta be somewhere.

We can square this.

We can
make this right.

We have to.

We can't.

I didn't see anything
like that out there.

(music playing)
