to the lonesome ocean ¶
¶¶
if he's not back soon,
we'll meet him there.
Hopefully,
they'll be with him.
What about michonne?
¶¶
ah.
¶¶
¶ we must blend into the choir ¶

¶ we must memorize
nine numbers ¶
¶ and deny we have a soul ¶

for property ¶

¶ we must run, we must run,

Man #1: You seeing this?
Woman: North copies.
Got shots here.
Man #2: West, too.
What are they doing?
They'll run outta ammo
before they run outta walkers.
[Gunfire continues]
I got eyes on it.
South out.
[Gunfire]
[Gunfire continues]
¶¶
[gunfire continues]
[Walkie-talkie clicks]
They're trying
to make a path.
Blocking out the walkers
with bodies.
They're gonna get out.
Man, we need
to tell everybody --
¶¶
[gunfire continues]
South down!
Get out!
Everybody, get out now!

[walker growling softly]
Carol: I see it.
It got tripped up
on my wire.
I got it.
[Growling stops]
The cottage is just ahead,
out of the tree-line.
It's got
a wrought-iron fence.
There's food and water
inside.
The saviors
don't know about it.
You'll be safe there
until I make it back
with Ezekiel.
You versus
all of them?
Yeah.
They don't stand a chance.
It's not just Carol.
I'm going, too.
No. You're not.
They killed my brother.
And I'm not gonna
let 'em kill you.
[Scoffs lightly]
I can do it.
I can help you.
Morgan taught me the stick.
You taught me the gun.
It's not happening.
[Insects chirping]
Come on.
[Breathing heavily]
[Muffled explosion
in distance]
[Muffled explosions continue,
rocks clatter]
I-i don't...
Carl: Dad.
How...
Dad...
...it's all right.
It's gotta be.
I wasn't sure if you'd
make it back before...
But just in case,
you know...
...i wanted to make sure
i was able to say goodbye.
No. It's them.
It's them.
They -- they don't --
it wasn't...
[Crying]
Carl.
No.
No.
I got bit.
I was bringing
someone back.
His name's siddiq.
We saw him
at that gas station,
before...
It wasn't the saviors.
It just happened.
I got bit.
Gavin: Negan's gonna
kill you now.
I said
he's gonna kill you.
And there's nothing I can do
to stop that.
Hey. You hear me?
I ferried my people
to freedom.
What befalls me now
matters not.
No. It matters, idiot.
I liked you, Ezekiel.
You got it.
You got that
you couldn't do better
than you had it.
You accepted things
for what they were,
and you didn't get any big ideas
in your head.
And then Rick went
and planted one right in there.
And here we are.
Shit's getting shittier.
And you're gonna die.
I made a choice
i could live with.
Now it's your turn
to do the same.
¶¶
¶¶
[whispering] Henry!
¶¶
hey.
[Whispering]
They don't have enough people
to guard all the walls.
No, but they do
have people.
And they have Ezekiel.
I saw him.
They got him on the other side
of this place.
We can take them.
One by one.
No, if we hit one of them,
that could call them all.
It's better just to avoid them
until we can't.
Henry.
He's here, too.
Where?
Did you see him?
Do they have him?
Yeah, I saw him run this way,
and then he was gone.
But he'll hide.
He won't take them on
face-to-face.
We have to do this now.
So if we have to take them,
we take them.
¶¶
[grunts]
[Muffled explosions
in distance]
[Breathing heavily]
Is that better?
Yeah...
Thanks.
Siddiq:
I, um, I got these.
They're over-the-counter,
non-steroidal
anti-inflammatories.
They'll, um --
they'll help a little
with the fever.
They did
for my mom and dad.
[Voice breaking]
Please take them.
Your son...
He should have them.
You're a doctor?
I was a resident...
Before.
Yeah.
Your name is siddiq?
Yes.
Did you know
he was a doctor?
Is that why
you brought him back?
He wasn't gonna
make it alone.
He needed us.
That's why.
He was the one
at the gas station.
[Loud thump, rocks clatter]
[Coughing]
Shh!
Michonne:
Water. Give him water.
[Coughing continues]
Easy. You got it?
Slowly, slowly.
[Grunting]
[Muffled explosions continue]
Make it stop.
Make them stop.
[Muffled explosions continue]
I can't.
You can.
You're one of them.
They'll listen to you.
[Breathing heavily]
Please.
[Muffled explosions continue]
Please.
[Muffled explosions continue]
[Muffled explosions continue]
You said that hilltop's safe,
right?
Yeah.
We need to get everybody
there.
We can get Carl there.
And they think all of you
got away in the woods.
They're out there,
looking.
They saw us go west,
so we won't go west.
Your best chance
is to stay here
until they're gone.
Daryl: No.
They find us here,
we're dead.
They're almost done.
They gotta be.
It wasn't about
destroying the place.
They don't have the ammo
for that.
After they let up,
after they're gone,
that's when we go.
[Muffled explosions continue]
Okay.
We wait.
You sure going to hilltop's
the best plan?
You got a better one?
All of you in one place,
together...
Daryl:
All of us together...
...we'll be their worst
damn nightmare.

[suspenseful music plays]
[Fire crackling]
[Fire extinguisher spraying]
¶¶
¶¶
[whispering]
If we don't go through 'em,
we gotta go
through the courtyard.
Exposed.
This is it.
This is it.
¶¶
[grunts]
[Flesh tears]
¶¶
¶¶
you want me
to just do it?
No.
[Door opens]
[Both grunt]
¶¶
[gurgling]
[Groaning]
No. No.
[Thuds]
[Flesh tears]
¶¶
got all of 'em.
They could've found Henry.
I know.
I'm not worried
about them.
¶¶
Gavin: Come on, boys.
Get the damn gum
off your shoes.
Let's go!
Is it gonna go bad,
Ezekiel?
Is this going to turn
into something else?
Ezekiel: You are the author
of this night, Gavin.
Its close shall be fashioned
by your start.
¶¶
you left.
[Muffled explosions
in distance]
You were supposed to be
resting.
I'm not tired.
Yeah.
You look great.
[Chuckles softly]
[Sighs]
It's gotta stop, michonne.
It's not supposed
to be like this.
I know it can be better.
[Water dripping softly]
Scott: Sounds like
they're letting up.
Looks like
you were right.
They're leaving.
Daryl: Maybe.
Want me to go take
a look?
Judith: [Cooing]
[Whispering] Hey. Hey.
[Footsteps]
Carol: There.
[Indistinct conversations]
Man #1:
...Sure as shit gonna beat
living
in that chemical dump.
Man #2:
Hell, you want that room.
You're gonna have
to fight me for it...
[Whispering] Leave it.
¶¶
¶¶
leave it.
¶¶
hey.
¶¶
[silenced gunshot]
[Groans]
Let's go.
¶¶
¶¶
Gavin: Leave some room
for Ezekiel.
Get him a pillow
or something.
It's gonna be
his last ride.
Let's at least try to make him
comfortable.
You try, and you try,
and you try,
and you hope, and you hope,
and you hope.
Just wantin' things
to finally just settle.
Achieve some goddamn,
hard-fought equilibrium.
But, no.
It always comes down
to this.
It always has to get
dark and ugly...
And inhuman.
You know I don't like this,
right?
It is not too late
to walk back
from something decided.
[Scoffs lightly]
You did,
and look where it got you.
[Walkie-talkie clicks]
Duke. Paulie.
Where you at?
[Clicks]
Stop pickin' dingles,
grab your walkie,
and respond!
[Clicks]
[Suspenseful music plays]
[Clicks, static hisses]
Gomez?
[Clicks]
¶¶
[clicks, static hisses]
Gomez!
[Clicks]
¶¶
it is not too late to walk back
from something decided.
[Gunfire in distance]
Shit. There it is.
Get him inside. Now!

Eugene: I calibrate this cooker
properly,
we'll be lousy with baked apples
ad infinitum.
It would be my honor
if you considered to be
the sous to my chef.
Or I could be said sous,
and you shall surely chef.
'Til then,
this golden delicious
has your name on it.
Thanks, Eugene.
Thanks.
¶¶
¶¶
¶¶
the saviors are gone.
We can get everyone
to hilltop.
We can get Carl there.
Carl? No.
Daryl can get
one of the cars.
Carl won't make --
he can't leave here.
I have to stay with him.
Rick.
He can't.
I have to stay.
We'll both stay.
Will you --
[sighs]
Will you take Judith?
She needs to be there.
If she...
[Voice breaking] If...
Happens...
Daryl: I'll take her.
I'll get her there.
I'll keep her safe.
I got this.
Carl:
Let me say goodbye.
[Creaking]
[Breathes sharply]
You be good, okay?
For michonne.
For dad.
You gotta honor him.
Listen
when he tells you stuff.
You don't have to always.
Sometimes, kids got to show
their parents the way.
¶¶
¶¶
[sighs]
[Breathing heavily]
This was dad's
before it was mine.
Now it's yours.
[Sniffles]
I don't know...Just --
just having it and...
It always kept dad
with me.
It made me feel
as strong as him.
It helped me.
Maybe it'll help you,
too.
¶¶
before mom died...
...she told me that I was
gonna beat this world.
¶¶
I didn't.
But you will.
[Judith whines softly]
I know you will.
[Crying]
Daryl: Here we go.
[Crying continues]
These people.
You saved them all.
That's all you, man.
¶¶
¶¶
¶¶
you were helping me
honor my mom...
Not just yours.
Mine, too.
¶¶
you brought me here.
You gave me a chance.
I know I can
never repay you...
But I can honor you
by showing your people,
your f-friends,
your -- your family
that what you did
wasn't for nothing.
That it mattered.
That it --
that it meant something.
¶¶
because it did.
So that's
what I'm gonna do.
¶¶
I'm gonna honor you, Carl.
¶¶
[breathing deeply]
Congratulations.
You're stuck with us.
[Breathes sharply]
¶¶
¶¶
¶¶
[creaking]
¶¶
[footsteps]
Gavin: Okay.
There can't be a lot of 'em
'cause there aren't a lot left.
We got room for us
and controlled access.
Force projected on the doors,
now!
[Indistinct shouting]
We end this,
whatever the hell it is.
I gotta settle this shit
under the penalty
of that goddamn bat.
You don't.
Shut up about that, okay?
This is it!
It is too late.
I'm the "author,"
you're the dead man,
and that's
how it's gonna be.
You think
i can be someone else?
This is who I am.
I live, you die --
this is what this is!
The petty compromises
i made to avoid conflict
were always done
in the name of saving
my people's lives.
Now I realize...
I was saving yours.
No more.

Morgan,
we should take our leave.
Morgan:
We don't need to go.
All of them are dead.
¶¶
¶¶
¶¶
¶¶
you okay?
I don't want you to be sad
after this.
Carl...
Or angry.
¶¶
you're gonna
have to be strong.
For my dad.
For Judith.
¶¶
for yourself.
¶¶
I will.
¶¶
don't carry this.
Not this part.
¶¶
you're my best friend,
michonne.
¶¶
[crying]
You're mine, too.
You're mine.
¶¶
¶¶
Rick:
I need your help.
With what?
Getting him out of here.
¶¶
[grunting]
[Gasping]
¶¶
¶¶
[fire crackling]
¶¶
Carl:
[Groaning softly]
¶¶
we need to stop.
The house up ahead.
We can make it.
It's okay.
Just put me down here.
It's okay.
No. We'll make it.
Please.
¶¶
there.

Carl: [Breathing heavily]
[Fire crackling]
[Breathing heavily]
[Breathing heavily]
Thanks...For --
for getting me here.
I'm -- I'm sorry.
I didn't --
i didn't want you out there.
I-i --
no.
No...For getting me here.
For -- for making it
so I could be who --
who I wound up.
[Shallow breathing]
Back at the prison...
When we got attacked...
...there was a kid,
a little older than me.
He had a gun.
He was --
he was starting
to put it down,
and i-i s--
I shot him.
He was --
he was giving it up,
and I...I just...
I shot him.
I think about him.
What I did to him
and how --
how easy it was
to just...Kill him.
Gavin: [Grunting]
You're sick!
¶¶
only a sick man
would do it like this.
You think I wanted this?
There wasn't
a lot on the menu.
I ran a good crew.
I kept my word.
You ask Ezekiel --
i kept my word!
[Groans]
You -- you could --
you could go back
to the hilltop.
It's still standing.
They're keeping them going.
Just turn around.
¶¶
you think
you can beat negan?
You can't.
We can go back
to how it was.
We can go back --
[gasps]
No.
Carl, no.
No.
¶¶
what happened...
What you'd lost...
[Crying]
All those things
you had to...
All those thing
you had to do...
You -- you -- you --
you were just --
you were just a boy.
And you saw it.
What it did.
How -- how easy it got.
You just killed all those men
because of the kid?!
¶¶
killing me won't make
any of it go away.
You'll still wake up
to the same shit tomorrow.
¶¶
get up.
[Grunting]
Up.
Gavin: Ugh! Aah!
[Panting]
Carl:
That's why you changed...
Why you brought those people
from woodbury in...
You brought them in,
and we all lived together.
We were enemies.
You put away your gun.
You did it so I could change,
so I could be who I am now.
¶¶
what you did then...
How you --
how you stopped fighting...
It was right.
¶¶
it still is.
¶¶
it can be like that again.
You can still be like that
again.
¶¶
Ezekiel: Morgan.
Morgan, cease this.
Relent.
Ending him
is the coward's way.
We've won.
We don't have to kill him.
He will see
what he has wrought,
and all of it
will be his to live with.
¶¶
Rick:
I can't be who I was.
It's different now.
Carl:
You can't kill all of 'em, dad.
There's gotta be
something after.
For you...And for them.
¶¶
there's gotta be
something after.
Morgan, stop it.
You don't want to do this.
You don't have to.
¶¶
you told me
we can be better than them.
You said that to me.
¶¶
you don't want to do this.
I know it.
I can see it.
[Crying] I have --
I have to.
¶¶
I have to.
¶¶
¶¶
[gurgling]
¶¶
[thuds]
¶¶
[exhales sharply]
¶¶
¶¶
Carl: I know...
You can't see it yet...
...how it could be.
¶¶
but I have...
You have a beard.
It's -- it's bigger...
And grayer...
Michonne's happy...
Judith is older,
and she's listening to the songs
that I used to before...
Alexandria's bigger.
There's --
there's new houses...
Crops...
And people working.
Everybody living...
Helping everybody else
live.
If you can still be
who you were...
That's how it could be.
It could.
Carl.
It was all for you.
Right from the start.
Back in Atlanta,
the farm --
everything I did,
it was for you.
Then, at the prison,
it was for you and Judith.
It still is.
It's gonna be.
And nothing --
nothing is gonna change that.
¶¶
I want this for you, dad.
¶¶
I'm gonna make it real,
Carl.
I promise.
I'm gonna make it real.
¶¶
¶¶
Henry.
It's okay.
It's all right.
Don't look at him.
You look at me.
I had to.
You were supposed to stay
at the cottage.
This wasn't what
you were supposed to do.
This wasn't for you.
Carol.
[Sighs]
Henry.
All will be resolved.
All will be resolved.
Carl...I'm sorry.
I'm sorry
i couldn't protect you.
A father's job
is to protect his son.
Carl: Love.
It's just to love.
[Breathing shallowly]
[Ragged breathing]
No. No.
Michonne: Carl...
It -- it --
it...It should be --
I know. I know.
Somebody you love.
When you can't do it
yourself.
But I still can.
[Voice breaking]
I grew up.
I have to do this.
Me.
¶¶
I love you.
[Crying]
I love you, too.
¶¶
¶¶
[voice breaking]
I love you, dad.
[Sniffles]
¶¶
[crying]
I love you, Carl.
I love you so much.
[Sobbing]
¶¶
[whispering]
I'll make it real.
I will.
I will.

South out.

Carol: I see it.
It got tripped up
on my wire.
I got it.
[Growling stops]
The cottage is just ahead,
out of the tree-line.
It's got
a wrought-iron fence.
There's food and water
inside.
The saviors
don't know about it.
You'll be safe there
until I make it back
with Ezekiel.
You versus
all of them?
Yeah.
They don't stand a chance.
It's not just Carol.
I'm going, too.
No. You're not.
They killed my brother.
And I'm not gonna
let 'em kill you.
[Scoffs lightly]
I can do it.
I can help you.
Morgan taught me the stick.
You taught me the gun.
It's not happening.
[Insects chirping]
Come on.
[Breathing heavily]
[Muffled explosion

[Muffled explosions continue,

I-i don't...
Carl: Dad.
How...
Dad...
...it's all right.
It's gotta be.
I wasn't sure if you'd
make it back before...
But just in case,
you know...
...i wanted to make sure
i was able to say goodbye.
No. It's them.
It's them.
They -- they don't --
it wasn't...
[Crying]
Carl.
No.
No.
I got bit.
I was bringing
someone back.
His name's siddiq.
We saw him
at that gas station,
before...
It wasn't the saviors.
It just happened.
I got bit.
Gavin: Negan's gonna
kill you now.
I said
he's gonna kill you.
And there's nothing I can do
to stop that.
Hey. You hear me?
I ferried my people
to freedom.
What befalls me now
matters not.
No. It matters, idiot.
I liked you, Ezekiel.
You got it.
You got that
you couldn't do better
than you had it.
You accepted things
for what they were,
and you didn't get any big ideas
in your head.
And then Rick went
and planted one right in there.
And here we are.
Shit's getting shittier.
And you're gonna die.
I made a choice
i could live with.
Now it's your turn
to do the same.
¶¶
¶¶
[whispering] Henry!
¶¶
hey.
[Whispering]
They don't have enough people
to guard all the walls.
No, but they do
have people.
And they have Ezekiel.
I saw him.
They got him on the other side
of this place.
We can take them.
One by one.
No, if we hit one of them,
that could call them all.
It's better just to avoid them
until we can't.
Henry.
He's here, too.
Where?
Did you see him?
Do they have him?
Yeah, I saw him run this way,
and then he was gone.
But he'll hide.
He won't take them on
face-to-face.
We have to do this now.
So if we have to take them,
we take them.
¶¶
[grunts]
[Muffled explosions
in distance]
[Breathing heavily]
Is that better?
Yeah...
Thanks.
Siddiq:
I, um, I got these.
They're over-the-counter,
non-steroidal
anti-inflammatories.
They'll, um --
they'll help a little
with the fever.
They did
for my mom and dad.
[Voice breaking]
Please take them.
Your son...
He should have them.
You're a doctor?
I was a resident...
Before.
Yeah.
Your name is siddiq?
Yes.
Did you know
he was a doctor?
Is that why
you brought him back?
He wasn't gonna
make it alone.
He needed us.
That's why.
He was the one
at the gas station.
[Loud thump, rocks clatter]
[Coughing]
Shh!
Michonne:
Water. Give him water.
[Coughing continues]
Easy. You got it?
Slowly, slowly.
[Grunting]
[Muffled explosions continue]
Make it stop.
Make them stop.
[Muffled explosions continue]
I can't.
You can.
You're one of them.
They'll listen to you.
[Breathing heavily]
Please.
[Muffled explosions continue]
Please.
[Muffled explosions continue]
[Muffled explosions continue]
You said that hilltop's safe,
right?
Yeah.
We need to get everybody
there.
We can get Carl there.
And they think all of you
got away in the woods.
They're out there,
looking.
They saw us go west,
so we won't go west.
Your best chance
is to stay here
until they're gone.
Daryl: No.
They find us here,
we're dead.
They're almost done.
They gotta be.
It wasn't about
destroying the place.
They don't have the ammo
for that.
After they let up,
after they're gone,
that's when we go.
[Muffled explosions continue]
Okay.
We wait.
You sure going to hilltop's
the best plan?
You got a better one?
All of you in one place,
together...
Daryl:
All of us together...
...we'll be their worst
damn nightmare.

Gavin: Come on, boys.
Get the damn gum
off your shoes.
Let's go!
Is it gonna go bad,
Ezekiel?
Is this going to turn
into something else?
Ezekiel: You are the author
of this night, Gavin.
Its close shall be fashioned
by your start.
¶¶
you left.
[Muffled explosions
in distance]
You were supposed to be
resting.
I'm not tired.
Yeah.
You look great.
[Chuckles softly]
[Sighs]
It's gotta stop, michonne.
It's not supposed
to be like this.
I know it can be better.
[Water dripping softly]
Scott: Sounds like
they're letting up.
Looks like
you were right.
They're leaving.
Daryl: Maybe.
Want me to go take
a look?
Judith: [Cooing]
[Whispering] Hey. Hey.

Carol: There.

Man #1:

You're gonna have

¶¶
hey.
¶¶
[silenced gunshot]
[Groans]
Let's go.

Gavin: Leave some room
for Ezekiel.
Get him a pillow
or something.
It's gonna be
his last ride.
Let's at least try to make him
comfortable.
You try, and you try,
and you try,
and you hope, and you hope,
and you hope.
Just wantin' things
to finally just settle.
Achieve some goddamn,
hard-fought equilibrium.
But, no.
It always comes down
to this.
It always has to get
dark and ugly...
And inhuman.
You know I don't like this,
right?
It is not too late
to walk back
from something decided.
[Scoffs lightly]
You did,
and look where it got you.
[Walkie-talkie clicks]

It would be my honor

Or I could be said sous,
and you shall surely chef.
'Til then,
this golden delicious
has your name on it.
Thanks, Eugene.
Thanks.
¶¶
¶¶
¶¶
the saviors are gone.
We can get everyone
to hilltop.
We can get Carl there.
Carl? No.
Daryl can get
one of the cars.
Carl won't make --
he can't leave here.
I have to stay with him.
Rick.
He can't.
I have to stay.
We'll both stay.
Will you --
[sighs]
Will you take Judith?
She needs to be there.
If she...
[Voice breaking] If...
Happens...
Daryl: I'll take her.
I'll get her there.
I'll keep her safe.
I got this.
Carl:
Let me say goodbye.
[Creaking]
[Breathes sharply]
You be good, okay?
For michonne.
For dad.
You gotta honor him.
Listen
when he tells you stuff.
You don't have to always.
Sometimes, kids got to show
their parents the way.
¶¶
¶¶
[sighs]
[Breathing heavily]
This was dad's
before it was mine.
Now it's yours.
[Sniffles]
I don't know...Just --
just having it and...
It always kept dad
with me.
It made me feel
as strong as him.
It helped me.
Maybe it'll help you,
too.
¶¶
before mom died...
...she told me that I was
gonna beat this world.
¶¶
I didn't.
But you will.
[Judith whines softly]
I know you will.
[Crying]
Daryl: Here we go.
[Crying continues]
These people.
You saved them all.
That's all you, man.
¶¶
¶¶
¶¶
you were helping me
honor my mom...
Not just yours.
Mine, too.
¶¶
you brought me here.
You gave me a chance.
I know I can
never repay you...
But I can honor you
by showing your people,
your f-friends,
your -- your family
that what you did
wasn't for nothing.
That it mattered.
That it --
that it meant something.
¶¶
because it did.
So that's
what I'm gonna do.
¶¶
I'm gonna honor you, Carl.
¶¶
[breathing deeply]
Congratulations.
You're stuck with us.
[Breathes sharply]
¶¶
¶¶

[footsteps]
Gavin: Okay.
There can't be a lot of 'em
'cause there aren't a lot left.
We got room for us
and controlled access.
Force projected on the doors,
now!
[Indistinct shouting]
We end this,
whatever the hell it is.
I gotta settle this shit
under the penalty
of that goddamn bat.
You don't.
Shut up about that, okay?
This is it!
It is too late.
I'm the "author,"
you're the dead man,
and that's
how it's gonna be.
You think
i can be someone else?
This is who I am.
I live, you die --
this is what this is!
The petty compromises
i made to avoid conflict
were always done
in the name of saving
my people's lives.
Now I realize...
I was saving yours.
No more.

I don't want you to be sad
after this.
Carl...
Or angry.
¶¶
you're gonna
have to be strong.
For my dad.
For Judith.
¶¶
for yourself.
¶¶
I will.
¶¶
don't carry this.
Not this part.

you're my best friend,
michonne.

I'm -- I'm sorry.
I didn't --
i didn't want you out there.
I-i --
no.
No...For getting me here.
For -- for making it
so I could be who --
who I wound up.
[Shallow breathing]
Back at the prison...
When we got attacked...
...there was a kid,
a little older than me.
He had a gun.
He was --
he was starting
to put it down,
and i-i s--
I shot him.
He was --
he was giving it up,
and I...I just...
I shot him.
I think about him.
What I did to him
and how --
how easy it was
to just...Kill him.
Gavin: [Grunting]
You're sick!
¶¶
only a sick man
would do it like this.
You think I wanted this?
There wasn't
a lot on the menu.
I ran a good crew.
I kept my word.
You ask Ezekiel --
i kept my word!
[Groans]
You -- you could --
you could go back
to the hilltop.
It's still standing.
They're keeping them going.
Just turn around.
¶¶
you think
you can beat negan?
You can't.
We can go back
to how it was.
We can go back --
[gasps]
No.
Carl, no.
No.
¶¶
what happened...
What you'd lost...
[Crying]
All those things
you had to...
All those thing
you had to do...
You -- you -- you --
you were just --
you were just a boy.
And you saw it.
What it did.
How -- how easy it got.
You just killed all those men
because of the kid?!
¶¶
killing me won't make
any of it go away.
You'll still wake up
to the same shit tomorrow.
¶¶
get up.
[Grunting]
Up.
Gavin: Ugh! Aah!
[Panting]
Carl:
That's why you changed...
Why you brought those people
from woodbury in...
You brought them in,
and we all lived together.
We were enemies.
You put away your gun.
You did it so I could change,
so I could be who I am now.
¶¶
what you did then...
How you --
how you stopped fighting...
It was right.
¶¶
it still is.
¶¶
it can be like that again.
You can still be like that
again.
¶¶
Ezekiel: Morgan.
Morgan, cease this.
Relent.
Ending him
is the coward's way.
We've won.
We don't have to kill him.
He will see
what he has wrought,
and all of it
will be his to live with.
¶¶
Rick:
I can't be who I was.
It's different now.
Carl:
You can't kill all of 'em, dad.
There's gotta be
something after.
For you...And for them.
¶¶
there's gotta be
something after.
Morgan, stop it.
You don't want to do this.
You don't have to.
¶¶
you told me
we can be better than them.
You said that to me.
¶¶
you don't want to do this.
I know it.
I can see it.
[Crying] I have --
I have to.
¶¶
I have to.

[thuds]

Carl: I know...
You can't see it yet...
...how it could be.
¶¶
but I have...
You have a beard.
It's -- it's bigger...
And grayer...
Michonne's happy...
Judith is older,
and she's listening to the songs
that I used to before...
Alexandria's bigger.
There's --
there's new houses...
Crops...
And people working.
Everybody living...
Helping everybody else
live.
If you can still be
who you were...
That's how it could be.
It could.
Carl.
It was all for you.
Right from the start.
Back in Atlanta,
the farm --
everything I did,
it was for you.
Then, at the prison,
it was for you and Judith.
It still is.
It's gonna be.
And nothing --
nothing is gonna change that.
¶¶
I want this for you, dad.
¶¶
I'm gonna make it real,
Carl.
I promise.
I'm gonna make it real.
¶¶
¶¶
Henry.
It's okay.
It's all right.
Don't look at him.
You look at me.
I had to.
You were supposed to stay
at the cottage.
This wasn't what
you were supposed to do.
This wasn't for you.
Carol.
[Sighs]
Henry.
All will be resolved.
All will be resolved.
Carl...I'm sorry.
I'm sorry
i couldn't protect you.
A father's job
is to protect his son.
Carl: Love.
It's just to love.
[Breathing shallowly]
[Ragged breathing]
No. No.
Michonne: Carl...
It -- it --
it...It should be --
I know. I know.
Somebody you love.
When you can't do it
yourself.
But I still can.
[Voice breaking]
I grew up.
I have to do this.
Me.
¶¶
I love you.

I love you, too.
