Fear the Walking Dead

I don't understand.

I... I just wanted to say, uh... be safe.

Thank you.

Dear June...

I've been thinkin' about my dad a lot lately.

Maybe it's bein' away from you

that my thoughts now drift to family.

My family wasn't together

nearly as long as I would've liked.

I suppose I could say the same thing now.

How's she doing?

Holed up at the old church.

Won't see anybody.

Myself included.

I can't stop thinking about how the baby might be alive

if we didn't have to come to you.

Morgan, even if I had been here,

it wouldn't have made a difference.

Don't you say it.

Don't. 'Cause she's already gone there,

talking about how the only reason she's alive

is because her baby absorbed all the bad shit from her body.

I just want to make sure she's okay.

You know there is nothing that you or I could say or do

that's gonna make any of this okay, right?

You're right. It won't.

But as the closest thing to a doctor that she has,

I need to examine her.

Not letting you come in.

She needs to see me.

She does, or you do?

What's that supposed to mean?

Grace lost the baby

because you couldn't do the one thing that John wanted.

That's why I couldn't let you stay here,

and that is why you were not here

when she needed you.

So, tell me again now you're here right now for Grace,

and that you're not here right now for yourself.

Whoa, whoa. Hey. Easy there.

I tried to radio, but you didn't answer.

What are you doing here?

I'm here to ask you the same question.

I mean, don't... don't you have a hospital to build?

Sarah can manage.

She thought I might be able to do my part

trying to figure out what we're up against.

Does this have something to do with what Morgan said?

You heard that?

I was on guard duty.

Look, the man's hurting, okay?

He didn't mean it.

Ah, Dwight, you didn't have to follow me here to babysit me.

Hey, you and John were there for me at the Gulch.

You're probably the only reason I'm still breathing.

Also, I couldn't stand the idea

of you being out here all alone.

Morgan was right.

I did the one thing John didn't want me to do.

He didn't want me to come in here, but I did.

- He... He was just worried, is all. - No.

He told me Ginny was just working things for her own ends.

He asked me to leave with him before we even got here.

Eh, whoa. Don't do this to yourself.

Well, I can't help but think...

if I had just listened to him...

... maybe he'd still be here.

- And the people you saved here wouldn't. - I saved Ginny.

Didn't make much of a difference in the end.

Whoa, easy.

I brought company.

Sherry?

Are you two...

No.

Uh, she was trading supplies behind the wall,

and she asked to come when she saw me leaving.

- Why? - I'm not sure.

She hasn't said much since we left.

Keep talking.

Don't mean to interrupt.

Horses don't take unleaded.

There's nothing here.

They must've taken all the gas

when they painted the message.

Well, where to next?

Not a place, but a person.

Ginny's old lieutenant.

He's been on the run ever since... you know?

Figure if anyone knows what she knew,

what we're up against, it's him.

Do you have any idea where to find him?

I picked up a muffled signal out...

Did you bring more company?

Get down!

Must be one of them!

- I'm gonna take him out! - He might have information!

We need him alive!

Screw this.

I said we needed him alive!

June.

June!

Cover me so I can see if you killed my lead.

We gotcha. Be careful.

Ah.

Why are you here?

- My friends... - They're fending off a buncha dead

that heard our firefight,

so you're gonna have to answer for yourself.

What are you doing here?

You one of them?

One of who?

The folks painting the slogans.

Answer me.

Looks like you're the one with the answers...

and I think we might be on the same team.

Well, if that's true,

you and your pals need to kick rocks.

I know what these people are capable of,

and trust me, you don't want any part of it.

How? What do you know?

I've been around these parts since the fire at the garage.

The trail's run cold,

but if these people catch anyone getting too close,

they'll move up their plan.

What plan?

Please. Lives are at stake.

Not if I get to the bottom of it.

Well, maybe we should be sharing information.

We've been searching for days.

I've been searching a lot longer than that.

- So let me help. - How the hell are you gonna help?

I didn't realize they tagged that far south.

And you missed one.

At the orchard.

You wanna help?

You say we're on the same side?

Prove it. Bring me to this orchard.

Show me something I haven't already seen.

But if you're lying, if you're wasting my time,

it won't be mirrors and windows I put a bullet into.

You catch my drift?

I'm not leaving my friends behind.

Drive.

That's really not necessary.

I want this as bad as you do.

Just keep your eyes on the road, sweetheart.

Don't call me that.

Well, what am I supposed to call you?

Anything else.

You know what?

I didn't ask you to come and gum up my investigation.

Matter of fact, I'm burning time and resources

letting you take me on this little trip,

so with all due respect, sweetheart,

shut up and drive.

Where'd you get that gun?

Why should I tell you?

Because it belongs to me.

The "JD" on the handle?

That's me.

I'm John Dorie.

Hey, look.

I wanna find June just as bad as you do,

but we keep running these horses like this,

we're gonna kill them.

Hey, even if that thing was full, we'd get what, huh?

Six miles out of the MRAP?

I just want to find June and be done with it.

- Really? - Why are you really here?

Huh?

Is it to play detective,

or did Morgan tell you to keep an eye on June?

Neither.

You know, when I was out looking for you,

things got desperate.

Your trail ran cold.

I was tired, hungry...

... and I was thinking about ending it.

Not just the search.

Everything.

The only reason I'm standing right here

is because of John and June.

They changed everything.

Changed how?

I don't know.

Seeing two people together,

two people that were separated like us,

made it seem possible that just maybe...

maybe we'd find each other.

So, you wanna tell me why you're here?

There's no time.

Okay.

Hah!

It's just...

the way John talked about you

the few times that he did,

I figured you were dead.

Well, as far as he was concerned, I was.

When did you last see him?

Oh, I don't know.
