Fear the Walking Dead

Previously on amc's "fear the walking dead"...

Tell your people it's time for justice.

The land you've lived on needs to be returned.

We're not attacking.

The walker's not going away.

He's weak. If he's weak, he'll negotiate.

I think we can be friends now.

There's a fight coming, and you have to save us.

Can you?

Yes, ma'am.

Black cat reservation --

You're the only one that can do this.

I've dealt with him.

I've settled with him. I've beaten him.

What the hell are you doing here?

The trimbols are dead.

What? Wh--

After they left, they were killed.

It was walker's people.

You tell anyone you were coming?

You didn't want anyone to know.

You didn't want anyone to stop you, but this changes things.

I was worried.

Vernon and kathy? Mike?

And gretchen. Son of a bitch.

Talking to walker right now, it's not a good idea.

This-- this makes it more urgent, more reason to go, not less.

When i said for you to own it, I didn't mean this.

I'm not doing this because of what you said, alicia.

Right.

I'm coming with you.

No, you're not.

It's-- it's a gas station.

Tribal headquarters.

Their land runs 10 miles in either direction.

What happens next?

We walk in.

Hands.

Qaletaqa!

Hello, taqa.

You're 200 years too late for peace, jake.

But just in time for lunch.

Alicia didn't come home last night.

She's a big girl now.

I don't think she's in the camp.

She's probably with golden boy.

Strange not to see either of them,

All the shit that went down.

Will you go to jake's? No.

Leave her be, mom.

Morning.

You, uh, seen your daughter?

No.

Jake's awol with some gear and he's not in his quarters.

I know your daughter and him are, uh... Courting.

Could they just sneak past the guards?

There's a lot of acreage out there,

And jake does know every inch of it,

So it could be.

Well, where should we start looking?

We don't. What?

I can't spare another search party,

And i'm not sending these good folks out there

After all that's happened-- indians on the warpath.

Point me in the right direction.

You won't make it a mile out there.

So what, i just sit around, thumb up my ass, like you?

You feel strong, son? Hmm?

Wanna arm up, man up?

Troy's taking on new recruits.

He'll fix it up so it's not like

We're sending a sheep out to slaughter.

I'm in. Nick, come on.

My father will never abandon the ranch.

You know that.

Then we'll feed him to the crows

Like phil mccarthy.

Then russell brown and vernon trimbol.

Russell's dead.

The adobe burned.

That karma's overdue but welcomed.

Vernon trimbol's dead, too.

I hope it was a long and... Painful illness.

He died with his family.

His wife, his daughter.

You killed them.

Is this girl speaking for you?

We need the violence to stop.

Soon will, jake.

Three down,

One to go.

My father never did anything to you or your people.

Tell me, junior, do the lies turn your stomach?

Do you taste the bile in the back of your throat?

State police investigated this.

They found no correlation between--

stop... Talking.

You're boring me, like you did in court.

Those days are dead.

I thought we had an understanding,

Even outside of court.

I understood.

When you came here with your drunk friends,

I was to serve them their food with a smile on my face,

Tolerate their slurs, clean up their vomit in the toilet,

And thank them for their pocket-change tips.

The days of the white man's courts are over.

Land grabs, desecrations, over.

Now you have our verdict,

The first humans' verdict.

You must vacate our lands.

I was hoping for a parley.

A chance to negotiate and to avoid more loss.

Maybe you're right.

If a parley can spare blood...

We can talk about it.

after we eat.

Give them a half-hour, okay? Okay.

Here to sign up.

Got a note from home?

That's funny.

No, I'm serious.

Madison okay with this?

You want to go ask her? You need her permission?

Why, though? Why-- why join the militia?

I don't know, maybe, uh...

I feel bad about what i've done.

You ever feel that way about anything?

You know, you do something, then people die.

And then things get worse.

Maybe you should leave before worse things happen.

Yeah.

I got travis killed,

And now my mom has to bear that loss.

And my sister's missing.

I need an occupation.

Don't be too hard on yourself.

Also, i want to protect us

From the ones who killed the trimbols.

What i saw was savage.

Let's, uh--

Let's not spook the young recruits, huh?

Here.

How the hell'd you get here?

It's a long story.

Tell it.

Tell me, then i'll tell you how I tried to find you

And almost got goddamn eaten, how we all almost died

Because you took the truck and the hotel was overrun.

Alicia, I thought it was safe.

We checked every room. Nowhere is safe.

Sorry.

If it makes you feel any better, I almost died after that.

It doesn't.

Qaletaqa found me. He took me in.

These are good people. Well, these good people,

They killed a family two nights ago.

His daughter was my friend. No, there was no--

There was no mission two nights ago.

How do you know that?

Taqa goes out with the war parties.

He didn't. He was with me.

We have a parley.

I need you to go back and tell my father the terms.

Taqa will send a scout with you.

You're staying here?

We swap hostages and offer tribute.

Jake, your father's not gonna listen to me.

He barely knows me. Alicia...

This is the only way to put off their attack.

Taqa guarantees my safety.

His word is good.

Then I'll stay.

No. Jake, your father needs to hear this from you.

You have to sell it.

Do we have a parley or not?

It appears we do.

Okay.

Do i have to worry?

I'd rather back the militia when we're attacked

Than hold the rear with the old-timers.

If there's an attack.

You gonna go back-to-back with troy?

Keep your enemies close, right?

Is that what this is?

How do I look?

Jake! Jake!

What? Ofelia?

Madison. What the hell's going on?

Alicia followed me to black hat.

What happened to her? She's safe, she's safe.

I made a deal with walker. You left her?

It's part of the custom. Alicia's their hostage.

I'm the hostage on this side.

What kind of barbaric bullshit is that? What custom?

Alicia offered to stay to avoid more bloodshed.

The sooner i talk to my father, the sooner we get her back.

And if not? How much time is sooner?

Just travel back and forth, plus a day to talk.

And we will get her back. Walker gave me his word.
