The Walking Dead

The plan doesn't change. We need that food.

We get to a radio tower, find the supply house,

and wait for the others.

Previously on "The Walking Dead"...

I have reason to believe my brother,

a thoracic surgeon, is living at the Commonwealth

and is looking for me.

Which one of you is Eugene?

Hi. I'm Stephanie.

It's a little hard to put up a wall

with broken tools and an empty stomach.

Our walls are about to fail.

How much farther, Daddy?

Well, we, uh, took a wrong turn

at the fork a ways back.

But, uh, we're heading the right way now.

We're almost home.

I'll be glad when we get there.

Yeah, me, too.

Daddy? It's okay.

You lost?

I'm scared.

It's gonna be okay.

Just stay close.

Gracie?

Gracie?

Gracie!

Gracie!

Gracie!

Gracie!

Stop!

Dudes...

Dudes? Dudes!

Breach! They're inside the wall!

Breach!

Grab your weapons!

Daddy? There's a breach!

Hey, Gracie, uh, I need you to head downstairs

into the basement and don't let anyone in, okay?

Just like we practiced, alright?

And you stay there, okay? You have your whistle?

Okay.

Okay, go now.

Get 'em back!

Use the beams!

Fill the hole!

Fill the hole!

That's it!

Hello!

I'm Lance Hornsby.

Welcome to the Commonwealth.

If you're watching this video, you've made it through

the rigorous screening process of the Commonwealth community

and have been approved to join us.

Under the leadership of Governor Pamela Milton,

we are over 50,000 strong,

with every person specially assigned

and curated to the job best suited to their skill set

to keep this community thriving.

This orientation will give you a taste

of what we have in store for you.

The future starts here.

Community.

Caregiving.

Security.

That's "The Commonwealth Way."

Pamela Milton?

Wow.

"Eugene Porter.

Work Detail... high-school teaching pool.

Boarding Detail... Bungalow 13, Sector 1..."

Yes! Okay.

This is a good sign.

Pardon my gazing of a gift horse in the gullet,

but what in the heck are these details meant to convey?

Job assignments and housing.

Permanent residency here was not our intent.

If you have a problem with it,

take it up with the case supervisor.

Wait. What jobs did you guys get?

Doesn't matter. We're not here to work.

We're here to get help. Uh, totally.

I-I was just curious 'cause they gave me "retail clerk."

Made me wonder if they have a mall here,

'cause that'd be frickin' amazing.

I used to love working in the mall.

They put me in animal control.

I imagine all of these are based on jobs from before the fall.

Yeah, mine isn't really an assignment.

Looks like an invitation.

Someone wants to meet and talk about, and I quote,

"Opportunities within our great community."

Ooh! Yumiko's fancy! Must be the accent.

We need to plot a course correction ASAP

before these entanglements usurp our Plan A.

I think a multi-pronged strategy would be in order.

Agreed.

I'll see what this case supervisor can do.

Um, I'm gonna go with Ezekiel.

I wanna see more of this place.

And I'm feeling lucky.

I'm supposed to meet up with Stephanie.

I'll get the lay of the land and the proverbial skinny.

Maybe whoever gave you that can help.

Excuse me.

Your case supervisor can answer all your questions.

Yeah, I don't seem to have one of those.

Just this letter from the Office of State Affairs.

Yes, ma'am.

How can I help?

Well, during processing,

I was inquiring about a family member living here,

but I haven't heard anything since.

I'd be happy to help you with that.

The wall's gonna be more fragile since they broke through.

People are getting anxious.

There's dead on the north side.

We're banging the wall to spread them out.

It's working. For now, but they'll be back.

Yeah, we need a long-term fix.

Any update on tools?

Still haven't replaced what the skins destroyed.

And we're back to square one on food.

What's left of the horse has been salted and jerkied.

Stuff's nasty, but it's going fast.

What about Hilltop?

Maybe some of the blacksmithing tools survived the fire.

A few of us can make a run,

maybe see if there's some game nearby while we're at it.

Yeah. And if there's nothing left?

If we can't make Alexandria safe,

we need to start thinking about other options.

Alexandria's our home.

I'm not ready to abandon ship.

Not yet.

We gotta fight to save it first.

We should get moving.

The others could already be at the outpost.

Or it could just be us.

You know the only way this works

is if we trust each other.

Why would I ever trust you?

I don't know, Maggie.

'Cause you want to stay alive, same as me.

If I stay alive,

it'll be in spite of you, not because of you.

Jesus.

You know, if... if that's how you feel,

I don't understand why you haven't put me down yet.

Shit!

I ask myself that question every day.

Shit.

Whoa.

Jesus.

Look.

Practically been picked clean.

Might be more than the dead.

Heads up.

Those are our people.

Dude...

It's Troy.

Let's just get this done.

We need to keep moving.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Eyes open.

Ready? Start!

Good. Again.

Center yourself.

Weight on your back foot.

Aim for the head, then stab!

Good. Again.

Look. This is crazy.

God. Oh!

What's wrong?

Whoa! Oh!

Oh, oh!

Hey!

You shouldn't be doing that!

Whoa!

Get away from there.

Calm down. We're just having fun.

It's dangerous.

If you don't stop, I'm gonna tell Rosita.

Shut up! You talk too much.

No wonder your mom abandoned you.

What did you say?

You're such a baby.

She must've gotten tired of all her whining.

Say it again.

I dare you.

Judith, don't.

Stay away from me, you psycho.

What are you looking at?

Doesn't look like anybody's been here, so...

So we wait.

Yeah.

How long?

How long would you want someone to wait for you?

I just think the longer we stay here,
