The Walking Dead

Previously on AMC's The Walking Dead...

I'm out of here when the time is right.

- Where is home? - Virginia.

We had walls.

You got to say good bye.

You let me help you.

I lied! I'm not a scientist.

I don't know how to stop it.

- One of yours for one of mine. - Alright.

I get it now.

Gabriel: "We look not at what can be seen,

but we look at what cannot be seen.

For what can be seen is temporary...

but what cannot be seen is eternal.

For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed,

we have a building from God,

a house not made with hands,

eternal in the heavens."

She was gonna come with me.

How far?

Outside Richmond, Virginia.

Rick: It was secure.

It has a wall, homes, 20 people.

Beth wanted to go with him.

She wanted to get him there.

It's a long trip, but if it works out,

it's the last long trip we have to make.

And what if it isn't around anymore?

Then we keep going.

Michonne: Then we find a new place.

It's better now.

How far out?

Five miles.

Hey, Carol.

Carol: I'm here.

We're halfway there. Just wanted to check the range.

Everybody's holding tight.

We've made it 500 miles.

Maybe this can be the easy part.

Got to think we're due.

Give us 20 minutes to check in.

Carol: We don't hear from you, we'll come looking.

Rick: Copy that.

I've been wanting to tell you something.

What's that?

The trade.

It was the right play.

It worked. It did work.

Just something else happened after.

It went the way it had to.

The way it was always going to.

I never wanted to kill anybody before.

I've wanted that.

But it just made it

so I didn't see anything except what I wanted.

I wasn't facing it.

Noah: Facing what?

What happened, what's going on.

My dad always told Sasha and me

that it was our duty as citizens of the world

to keep up with the news.

When I was little and I was in his car,

there were always those stories on the radio.

Something happens 1,000 miles away

or down the block.

Some kind of horror I couldn't even wrap my head around.

But he didn't change the channel.

He didn't turn it off.

He just kept listening.

To face it.

Keeping your eyes open.

My dad always called that

paying the high cost of living.

I lost my dad in Atlanta.

I think he would have liked yours.

Still got a mom and a couple of twin brothers.

I hope.

I hope so, too.

Two more miles.

All right.

Let's pull into the woods. We'll go on foot.

Stay off the road.

Noah: We don't need to.

Just in case.

Rick: This is good.

Through the trees, it might just look like part of the wreck.

It's this way.

Your people do this?

Wanted to. They must have.

Ah!

You all right?

Yeah. Yeah.

They have spotters? Snipers?

We built a perch on a truck.

Sometimes it's out front.

Not today.

Noah: You hear that?

Just wait.

Rick: Noah, hold up.

Noah!

Come on. It's all right.

You're gonna be with us now.

I'll get him.

I'm sorry, Noah.

I truly am.

We should see if there's anything we can use and head back.

Then what?

They see us.

We can make a quick sweep.

I'll stay with him.

Carol, you copy?

Carol: We're here.

We made it.

It's gone.

Clean shirt.

- We'll figure it out. - We will.

There's some garbage bags in the garage.

You didn't think it would still be here?

Did you?

After it happened,

right after with Beth in the hospital,

I saw that woman Dawn.

She didn't mean to do it. I knew it. I saw it.

But I wanted to kill her.

I remember I just wondered if it even mattered

one way or another.

Didn't have a thing to do with Beth.

I don't know if I thought it would still be here.

But Beth wanted to get him here.

She wanted to get him back home.

This was for her.

And it could have been for us, too.

I wanted to die for what I lost.

Who I had lost.

I stepped out into a crowd of those things

just trying to...

take it all out on them

until they took me.

Put them all in front of me so I didn't see anything.

But I just kept going.

And then later,

I was there for Judith when she needed me.

I saved her.

I brought her back to her dad.

And that wouldn't have happened if I had just given up...

if I hadn't chosen to live.

Noah.

Noah.

This isn't the end.

Hmm?

There you go.

That's right.

Hey, we should--

Noah.

Noah.

Noah!

I was thinking about that guy in the storage container.

Back at Terminus.

How I made us stop.

After the prison,

on my trip, I got Maggie back.

Things went okay.

Losing Washington...

losing-- losing Beth

right after just finding out she's alive...

I hadn't caught up with you yet.

If it were now,

I wouldn't make us stop.

We'd run right by.

And I would have shot that woman dead.

Right or wrong.

We need to stop.

You can be out here too long.

Hey, hey.

This is my house.

You don't want to go in there.

Yes, I do.

Let me see it.

Me first.

- I tried to come back sooner. - (creaking)

I tried.

But I did what you told me to.

You're okay. Just hold on. I'll get them.

I'll get-- I'll get them.
