The Walking Dead

I thought we were going further.

We are.

18 miles out.

So why are we stopping?

I wanted to talk.

Been waiting a week till we were gonna do this.

- I just wanna talk. - We don't need to.

We do.

No man, we don't.

We're doing this. I get it.

He was passed out when y'all brought him back,

doesn't know where the farm is.

That isn't what I need to talk to you about.

I heard

what really happened at the school.

Was it to survive?

Yeah.

One of us wasn't gonna make it out.

It had to be him.

One shot to the leg, Carl lives.

Reality is...

He had no business being here--

There. Whatever.

You don't think I would've done it?

No, man, I know you wouldn't have.

You don't think I can keep Lori or Carl safe?

I didn't say that.

Or my baby?

Is it gonna have to be me too?

Rick, you can't just be the good guy and expect to live.

Okay? Not anymore.

I'm not the good guy anymore.

To save Carl's life,

I would've done anything-- anything.

Now Lori says you're dangerous,

but you're not gonna be dangerous.

Not to us, not to me, not anymore.

How about you look at me?

You and Lori--

I get what happened.

When I figured it out-- and I figured it out pretty quickly--

I wanted to break your jaw,

let you choke on your teeth.

But I didn't.

That wasn't weakness.

It took everything.

That is my wife. That is my son.

That is my unborn child.

I will stay alive to keep them alive.

You don't love her.

You think you do, but you don't.

Now the only way you and me keep on...

Is that you accept everything I just said

right here, right now,

and we move forward with that understanding.

When it started it was just--

It was a couple of weird stories on the news.

Then-- then it was so quick.

Everything-- It just happened.

Two weeks later, I'm in the hospital

and there were soldiers shooting people in the halls.

They were shooting people, man, not walkers.

Then the walkers came through.

You know, I tried to get you out,

I tried, but we weren't gonna make it.

Man, there was no way and I knew it.

But I couldn't live with it.

I couldn't live, knowing--

But I had to.

I didn't keep Lori and Carl alive, man.

They kept me alive.

I want you to know that I didn't look at her before that.

Brother, if I could take it all back, I would.

I wanna check the ropes.

It's all good.

Rick say anything to you about Glenn when they got back from town?

Just that it had gotten pretty bad.

He's not the same.

Says he froze.

Blames me. Says I got inside his head.

He came back-- that's what matters.

Men have to do certain things-- You know that--

And they're either gonna blame the little woman

as the reason they do 'em or the reason they don't.

I'll tell you something-- what happens out there happens out there.

And we--

we're just trying to keep it together till they get back.

- Things were good. Maybe I-- - Glenn's a big boy.

He makes his own choices, and then you--

do you have anything to apologize for?

Tell him to man up and pull himself together.

Just don't say "man up."

It never goes well.

Let me just get this to Beth.

You go on-- I got it.

We've gotta start using our knives more.

If there's one walker, we use our knives.

We keep things quiet. We save ammunition.

Yeah.

We need dry goods ahead of the winter--

Warm clothes... fuel.

Maybe we get a break.

You gotta think the cold affects them.

If it doesn't kill 'em, it's gotta slow 'em down.

The second week of January last year,

we got all that snow and ice.

My cousin got stuck on 85 for 24 hours.

Sitting in his car with a birthday cake

for his girlfriend at Georgia tech.

He just sat and ate birthday cake

and listened to the "Lord Of The Rings" book on tape.

We get lucky, we get the same winter as last year.

By December, it's a different world.

Safer.

Maybe we find some snowmobiles to make runs.

That sounds good.

Knock knock.

How about this-- You, uh--

You eat up all your food,

we'll get you up and out of here and go take a walk.

What do you say?

It'll do good to be outside.

You're pregnant.

How could you do that?

Uh, I don't really have a choice.

You think it'll make a difference?

Of course it will.

You eat something.

It's more than 18.

Yeah, I'm looking for a place.

A place for what?

Give him a fair shake. A shot.

There.

This'll do.

We'll leave the boy here and scavenge some supplies.

Over there.

Wait.

Like I said.

Gun's quick, easy,

but other ways to do this.

One more. Your turn.

Hey, Rick.

I don't see any bites.

Gotta be scratches then--

This one's hand, other one's cheek.

They had walkers here-- burned bodies down the hill.

I guess it gotta be scratches then, huh?

Couldn't eat a thing, huh?

You're gonna--

Hey.

I know how hard it is.

I tried for days to reach my mom,

and get her on the phone.

I can only assume-- It's just so pointless.

Oh.

You have Maggie,

and your father, Patricia and Jimmy.

And you've gotta stay strong for them.

I wish I could promise you it would be all right in the end.

I can't,

but we can make now all right...

And we have to.

Thank you.

I'll be right back. We'll go take that walk.

Beth?

You give it to me, sweetheart.

You don't wanna do this.

Andrea, have you seen Maggie or Hershel?

I haven't seen Hershel, but I saw Maggie and Glenn walk by

- maybe 20 minutes ago. - Could you find her for me?

I've gotta get back to the house.

Of course.

Sorry.

Oh.

The hell is this?

Oh, come on, don't be stupid.

I owe you guys.

I can help protect what you've got.

Why would you save my life just to kill me by leaving me here?

One guy-- one guy can't make it alone.

That's why I was with those dudes-- I was alone.

Don't be stupid! I'm not like them!

I'm just some guy!

I used to watch football

and screw around on the Internet.

I lived with my mom!

I lost her like you lost people.

I went to school with Maggie for God's sake!

I went to church.

I rode the bench on varsity baseball.

You went to school with Maggie?

You go to school with Maggie?

Answer the question!

Did you go to school with Maggie?

I-- it-- she didn't know me.

Didn't even know I existed.

I mean, I knew her.

I knew who her dad was.

There is no way I would ever do anything

- to hurt her or her family. - Jesus.
