Fear The Walking Dead (2015) s04e03 Episode Script

Good Out Here

1 Previously on AMC's "Fear the Walking Dead" I know living here is gonna take awhile to get used to.
I figured out what was wrong with the trans: weevils.
You're with them! Woman: With who? The Vultures.
I don't know what that means.
Show us where you found it.
( machete slicing ) ( slicing ) Hmm.
I see you're going through something there.
I mean, you gotta be, right? Took my van.
Lookin' for some people? What'd they do to you? Al.
He's not talkin'.
So maybe we can leave it be, huh? Al: Look, I'm really just trying to help.
We're all breathing here.
Means we're on the same team.
Where is this turnoff? We should've reached it by now.
Did she tell us the right way? Yeah, I did.
Just not all of it.
I don't think you understand the situation here.
John: Al, it's not worth it.
No, this is gonna go our way.
You have something I want-- your story.
And I have something you want-- where I found that flag.
But I'm not gonna let you take my van.
And I'm not gonna let you threaten us anymore.
Well, this is how it's gonna be! - You know how many times I've been zip-tied? - What? - Drop it! Drop it! - John: Easy.
Easy.
- Nick! - Al: Drop it! - Drop it! - Drop it.
- Lucy: Hey.
Hey.
- ( hammer clatters ) - Don't move.
Pull over.
- Don't, Lucy.
I'm fine.
- Morgan: Listen to her.
- John: Let's just take a pause.
Better not be anything more than this.
Come to a stop.
Take your hands off the wheel.
Don't do it, Lucy.
Luciana.
( Infecteds growling ) Change of plans.
Keep driving.
Go around.
- ( both groaning ) - Morgan: Hey, hey! ( tires screeching ) ( Lucy panting ) ( man shouting ) ( engine idling ) ( growling ) ( breathing shallowly ) ( distant rumble ) ( rumbling continues ) ( faint growling ) ( growling ) ( cow moos in distance ) You okay? I'm goin' on a run.
( deep breath ) I'm comin' with you.
You sure? You're looking for food.
I want to help.
I should help.
( engine revs in distance ) ( engine revs louder ) ( gears grinding ) Wait, wait.
Stop, stop.
Whoa! Whoa! - ( gunning engine ) - John: Yeah, Al, forget it.
You're just diggin' a ditch.
( turns off engine ) Al (sighing): Well, if she needs a tow - we gotta get her one.
- Strand: "We"? Yeah, we got it in this ditch.
- we gotta get it out.
- And then? And then we talk about whatever it is we have to talk about-- your story, where I found the flag-- or not.
Or you can just go on your way.
( sighs ) I saw some trucks at a service yard a while back.
We could use one to tow it out.
How far back? Untie us first.
The start of a negotiation often requires an act of faith.
You think we can trust 'em? Probably not.
( mutters ) Okay.
( cuts ) - Come on up.
Up.
- ( grunts ) - What the hell? - John: Nope.
- Al: This way, maybe you'll come back.
And you won't do anything crazy.
- ( pulls rope tight ) - Again.
You okay? Morgan: I'll stay here with him.
I'm only gonna slow you down.
You gonna be here when we get back? If I'm not, something went wrong.
John: But we should get a move on if we want to get this truck out before dark.
You be careful with him.
He's squirrelly.
Come on.
We won't be long.
- Make sure she comes back.
- I will.
What are you reading? ( bird squawking ) ( sniffles ) Hey, you mind getting me something to eat from my pack? - Now you can get it yourself.
- ( knife clatters ) Aren't you worried I'm just gonna-- I'm not worried.
( panting ) I got a protein bar.
( sighs ) Do you like peanut butter? I do.
( sighs ) Thanks.
I'm Nick.
I'm going up by the road, Nick.
You move more than five feet from this truck-- Yeah, I get it.
No, nobody.
I talk to myself a lot.
( video fast-forwarding ) Morgan: Morgan Jones.
Al: Where do you come from? Atlanta and, um then Virginia.
( groans ) ( cries out ) ( vehicle approaches ) Morgan: I lose people, ( Morgan cries out ) and then I lose myself.
( Morgan groans ) ( panting ) Get down.
Stay down.
What is it? - ( both grunting ) - (Morgan cries out ) - ( horn blares ) - ( grunting ) - ( Nick panting ) - Morgan: Hey, wait! ( horn blaring ) ( Morgan groans ) ( Infected growling ) Hey, toss me my stick.
Hey! Hey! ( Infected growling ) ( growls ) The sound draw more of 'em? It's not that loud.
It does, more for me to kill.
There.
The cables.
That one would work.
Okay, I'll try to get it started.
You can check the rest for gas.
Maybe we can put a bow on this thing by sundown.
Then we can get back to looking for Laura, yeah? ( gas pouring ) So, your mission is one of benevolence? - Benevolence? - Yeah.
We're alive after our rather aggressive introduction.
This is an inconvenient kind of danger you're putting yourself into.
- You're doing it for a reason.
- Yeah.
I need you guys to clean up the mess you made.
And you want something beyond that.
Our story.
- That's right.
- For who? We don't know how all this ends.
The story might be the only thing that's left.
Then who cares? There won't be anyone around to watch it.
Doesn't matter.
Just matters that it's captured.
Why, Al? What happened to your hand? Why do you try to hide it? Let's stay on topic.
Why, Al? Because the truth matters.
Even if it's just heard out loud.
Even if it's just heard once.
( chuckles ) By you? Yeah.
By me.
'Cause that's the trade.
The truth about you.
Your story for where I found the flag.
- They're just words.
- The truth isn't about words.
It's about what really happened and what's happening now.
You're a puzzling creature.
I have no idea how she's alive.
- Oh, I think you do.
- Lucy: I do.
She knows her shit.
Except for that shit about the truth.
We shall continue to consider your offer.
Or not.
( panting ) - ( engine idles ) - ( gate creaks ) Hey.
Good luck out there.
Pretty, uh, slim pickin's unless you know where to look.
We'll manage.
Good to see you back on the horse, Nick.
Whoa, whoa, wait.
Here.
You should give this back to your girlfriend.
Figured you knew Charlie didn't really like children's books.
We never stood a chance, did we? She was never gonna stay with us.
Didn't matter what we did.
We'll get her back.
( sighs ) How do you do it? How do you come out here? Here's my trick-- wherever I go, I try to look for something good.
You know, it could be an old billboard with a stupid pun to sell ravioli.
It could be an armadillo.
Could be some piece of evidence that people were actually helping each other.
A sign, I don't know.
Something good.
It's out here.
I always see something.
( Infected growling ) ( growls ) - ( both growling ) - ( grunts ) ( growling ) ( grunts ) ( panting ) Thanks.
That horn's calling all the walkers out of these woods.
We need to find someplace safe.
( grunting ) ( horn blaring in distance ) ( leaves rustling ) They're gonna wonder what happened to us when they come back.
They'll hear what happened, and then they'll see it.
They'll find us.
( Infecteds growling ) Can you take her? ( Morgan grunts ) God! ( sighs ) ( groans ) ( raps stick on door ) - We're clear now.
- You okay, man? We can hole up in here.
Hey, why'd you help me? 'Cause I'd have let them rip me apart back there.
I don't kill.
Man over radio: You're at the church, Maddie? Just gettin' here.
I hope you do better than we did.
We'll let you know.
We're oh-for-eight so far.
Make that oh-for-nine.
Come on, let's keep lookin'.
Ennis: Hey! Turnip Man.
- Any luck out here? - Are you following us? Seems to me like we were here first.
Ought to get yourself a faster car.
You think this is funny? I'm not laughing.
- Mmm.
- ( radio static ) Man: Nick? Maddie, you copy? How's it going? Do they have a soup kitchen? ( radio static ) Like my brother told you-- she's got a knack for finding the good stuff.
You know how much condensed milk we found in there? You don't have to listen to him, Charlie.
- She wants to.
- That true, Charlie? You spent two weeks with her.
I'm the one who found her.
I'm the one who taught her how to make it out here.
Nick, come on.
Let's go.
Let's go, Nick, come on.
Now's not the time.
( scoffs ) Whatever.
And unlike you, I keep my family fed.
- Nick.
- ( crates clatter ) Go inside.
Madison: Stop.
Stop.
Stop! Ennis: Let's get out of here.
( car door opens ) ( car door closes ) ( engine starts ) ( groans ) God.
Nick: You want a hand with that? I got it.
You sure? It's the least I can do.
I got it.
Probably lay off the karate till it's healed.
And you oughta stop getting yourself into trouble.
- And it's not karate.
- What is it, then? It's it's not just karate.
Well, it's gonna be getting dark soon.
We should probably find you a car so you can be getting back.
( groans ) You mean that El Camino? Still looking for it, right? Are you gonna try and talk me out of it? No.
But it is not gonna work out how you think.
You don't know what he did to me.
It doesn't matter what he did to you.
It's still not gonna work out how you think.
Right, because you don't kill.
- Yeah? But I bet you did.
- ( chuckles ) Why'd you stop? Huh? Who did you lose? I don't know what you're talking about.
Yes, you do.
You lose people, then you lose yourself.
I saw the tape.
I heard everything you said.
- You should just leave it.
- Why does it matter? - Why not just tell me? - Oh, I'm not doing this.
- Not doing what? - This! Tellin' you my life! Tellin'-- You want to hunt down whoever hurt you, it's your business.
- Luciana: Nick! - Al: Morgan! - Luciana: Nick! - John: Wait! Look.
They went this way.
- ( horn blaring ) - ( Infecteds growling ) See? ( horn continues ) We're not leaving.
We'll come back for the van, Al.
When the batteries die down and the passed just wander off.
No.
No, I'm not leaving.
Which means you don't find out where the flag came from.
Least not from me.
Morgan's not gonna get far on that leg.
He might need us.
Fine.
You go.
- I'm not leaving.
- It's just a van, Al! Yeah, well, I got some things in that van.
Go.
I'll be fine.
We'll do it.
We'll get the van out now.
A deal requires an act of faith.
- This is ours.
- What about Nick? You go look for him.
You really think we'd try anything with two of our people out there? Your turn.
We do this.
You don't just tell us where you found the flag-- you take us there.
Then you help us find these people.
We talk, you drive.
All of it, all the way.
Until the end.
You'll answer all of my questions.
And you'll let me film you doing what you do.
Deal.
( Infecteds growling ) ( horn blaring ) ( horn blaring ) Hey! - ( Infecteds growling ) - Hey! Hey! Hey! - ( chain rattles ) - ( grunts ) ( gunshot ) - ( gunfire continues ) - ( Infected growls ) ( grunts ) - ( growls ) - ( cries out ) ( chain rattles ) - ( Infecteds growling ) - ( gunfire ) Pull her up! ( clanks ) ( engine revs ) ( revving continues ) ( distant clatter ) Keep walkin', old man.
There's nothin' for you here.
- You need to leave.
- ( laughs ) Oh, yeah? - Is that right? - ( approaching footsteps ) - Morgan: Get in your car and go.
- Or what? Go.
( sighs ) Holy shit! I didn't think I'd see you again.
- Walk away.
- ( panting ) I said walk away.
You should listen to your friend.
It's good to see you, Nick.
( panting ) But I, uh, gotta get these pimentos unloaded.
Unless you wanna give me a hand? Don't.
Don't.
Are you gonna do what it takes to stop me? Huh? Huh? You can.
You did.
Nick: Didn't think so.
( bird squawking ) She saw me.
She was standing right there.
- She saw everything.
- You didn't do anything, Nick.
I would've if you hadn't stopped me, and she saw that.
You were trying to help-- trying to get food for us.
You try to do the right thing, you end up doing the worst.
That's why I stayed inside so long.
It's not because of what's out here.
It's because of what being out here does to you.
Being out here makes me feel more trapped than being in there.
Like who I'll be is just closing in on me.
Just suffocating me.
( sighs ) ( car door opens ) ( gravel crunches ) ( bird squawks ) ( both grunting ) ( grunting ) ( jars clattering ) - ( jar shatters ) - ( Nick groans ) Uhh! ( grunting ) ( groaning ) - ( crunch ) - ( panting ) - Wait.
- ( panting ) Wait, wait.
( groans ) ( screaming ) Well, it looks like they're winning.
This is some stick-based trauma here.
Come on.
You think he was worried you wouldn't be coming back? Not my business.
Sorry.
Don't worry about it.
I haven't been around people in a long time.
I'm gonna talk to you so I don't start talking to myself again, all right? Why was he worried you wouldn't come back? - Because one time I didn't.
- ( van approaching ) When you left was it 'cause you didn't love him? I left but I still loved him.
( Nick panting ) What do you want? So to answer your question, it was my wife, my son, and my friends.
That's who I lost before I lost myself.
I know where you are, Nick.
'Cause I was there.
I didn't know how to make it stop.
I didn't know if I wanted it to stop.
I just didn't think I could ever find my way out.
Then I met someone.
Man didn't have to help me, but he did.
He he gave me something, Nick.
( stutters ) He told me he showed me that all life is precious.
And that helped.
It-- it still does.
Okay, how, exactly? ( sighs ) Yeah.
This is part of it.
You wanted to know what I was reading.
Too late.
Believe me believe me, it's not.
( scoffs ) Here.
We can talk about it.
Talk about anything, Nick.
( van approaching ) ( brakes hiss ) Where is he? Around the side.
( sniffles ) ( sighs ) ( sighs ) ( sighs ) Nick.
Madison: Bluebonnets.
Told ya there was still good out here.
- ( gunshot ) - ( bird squawks ) ( gasps ) Charlie.
( whoosh ) - Luciana: Nick? Nick.
- No.
Alicia: Hey! - Come on, Nick.
- Luciana: Hold on.
Morgan: Hold on.
Hold on.
Hold on, Nick.
Alicia: Nick.
Nick.
- Come on, buddy.
- Nick? Hey, hey, hey.
Nick, look at me.
Look at me.
- Come on.
- Hey, look at me.
- It's gonna be okay.
- ( Nick gasping ) ( Alicia crying ) Hey.
No, no, no, Nick.
Look at me.
It's gonna be fine.
Come on.
Come on, Nick.
Hey.
Nick, it's okay.
- Hey.
- Come on.
- ( crying ) Hey.
- ( Nick choking ) Hold on.
Nick? No.
No.
- ( Nick choking ) - Nick, it's okay.
No, no, no, no.
Nick, it's gonna be okay.
- Nick? - ( Strand sighs ) ( crying ) ( whimpering ) ( Alicia sobbing ) ( sobbing continues ) Nick! Oh, Nick! ( sobbing ) - ( birds chirping ) - ( sighs )
