The Walking Dead s10e22 Episode Script

Here's Negan

1 when I was your age.
Walk a different part of the property every day.
He said it gave him a feel for what kind of day it was gonna be.
Was the "first thing" so early back then? It was even earlier, you little rat.
- Remember the song he used to sing me? - Mm.
You are my sunshine My only sunshine You make me happy When skies are gray - You'll never know, dear - Morning, Barbara.
- How much I love you - Morning, Maggie.
Please don't take my sunshine away Hey, I just wanted to thank you for getting me the hell out of Dodge.
I mean, uh, you may have noticed things with Maggie and I are a little bit tense.
I don't mind being lay-low Negan for a bit, but, hell, there's only so far I can go to get out of her way.
You know, I was thinking, maybe, uh Maybe you'd put in a word for me? Smooth things over, at least kind of get the ball rollin'.
Given our recent history, uh, I kind of figured you owe me that much, right? You know this place? Mm-hmm.
I see you went ahead and moved me in.
Daryl helped.
I'm sorry.
The Council's voted to banish you.
What you want just isn't gonna happen.
It's not possible.
I know it's not what I promised, but given our less-recent history, it's better than you deserve.
It is what it is, I guess.
And if you don't mind me asking did the Council really banish me? Or is this more of a "Carol seizing the reins" kind of situation? This rabbit's for you.
Little pig, little pig.
Let me in.
It's all right.
I know you can hear me loud and clear.
I know that nobody likes an "I told you so.
" What can I say? I must be a bit of a masochist, 'cause, uh You know what the sad part is? The sad part isn't where we ended up here, 'cause, I mean Let's face it.
It could have been a hell of a lot worse.
No, see, the sad part is that you thought for even a second that those folks would see you for anything but who you truly are which is me.
You're a clown.
A cult of personality with no cult.
You go ahead and you call me whatever little names you want to call me, but you gotta admit We got a hell of a lot further with a kind word and good ol' Lucille here than we ever got with just a kind word.
It's time to face the facts, old man.
You are nothin' without her.
Carl said it doesn't have to be It doesn't have to be a fight anymore.
He was wrong.
Look what you did.
I want to see her.
I need to see her.
No.
Negan we don't have your bat.
Where is she? What did you do with her? She's still out there.
Y-You gotta let me go.
My wife she has cancer.
She needs it.
Gotta keep it safe, okay? I told you.
- I know.
- No, it - Shh.
- You keeping me here - I know.
- it kills me and her.
Please, I told you.
Shh.
Hey.
I know you did.
I know.
Hey, and I told you My heart, it goes out to you.
Can't imagine what you must be going through right now.
God.
Just wondering if she's ever gonna get her next treatment.
We drove out to where you told us those doctors gave you this stuff, - but, um, they weren't there.
- That's not my fault.
I told you.
I told you.
They move around.
They were never there.
I mean, that road, it was so overgrown, we couldn't even get the pickup down it.
So, now I know you can't get this stuff just anywhere.
It needs to be refrigerated.
Somebody, they took care of this for a long time, and if they've got something as rare as this they probably got a lot of other stuff, too.
So, now you tell me where you got it, I am going to let you take this to your wife.
Otherwise, I'm gonna pour it down the toilet and make you watch.
Hm? Okay.
All right.
Just please put that back in the cooler.
I will tell you whatever you want to know.
Just, please, keep that safe.
The part about the medical clinic, that's all true.
And, yeah, you're right They have a medical stockpile somewhere.
They keep equipment, drugs.
I don't know where, but that is where that came from.
I've been tracking 'em for weeks.
I found 'em I don't know Two or three days ago.
Drop your guns! Drop your guns! I don't want to shoot him, but I will! Okay.
Take it easy.
No, don't! Shit.
You didn't have to do that.
Better safe than sorry.
Take it easy, Capone.
My name is Negan.
Negan.
All right.
I'm Franklin.
We gonna have any problems? No, sir.
No problems.
Mm-hmm.
All right.
Exposure exhaustion dehydration.
And I think I can add malnutrition to the list.
Uh, I gotta wonder, with a guy like you the state you're in trying to rob a bunch of doctors with an empty gun.
My wife has cancer.
She was in the middle of treatments when the world went to shit, and I have just been trying to keep her going.
- So you're a doctor? - I'm a high-school gym teacher.
High school.
Mm.
So, what'd you mean by "keep her going"? The doctors had given us a calendar of what she needed and when she needed it, so all I had to do was find the drugs and figure out how to do infusions.
Wait a minute.
So you taught yourself how to give someone chemotherapy? The pumps aren't that complicated.
Unless something goes wrong.
Well, did something go wrong? Yeah.
You could say that.
Trying to figure out what James Bond movie I want to watch.
Well, baby, I think we're gonna have to skip the movie just for now.
Generator's making too much noise.
Hey.
We're gonna have to kill it.
Why bother, right? I turn the generator off for a little bit, and they lose interest.
They always do.
"'I see what you are feeling', replied Charlotte.
'You must be surprised, very much surprised So lately as Mr.
Collins was wishing to marry you.
But when you have'" Mama.
Hmm? This book sucks.
It's killing me.
I-I-I can't I can't do it.
You're the one that won't let me watch James Bond.
Read.
You gotta take care of it.
Come on.
Seriously? That was our last bullet.
Hey.
- Are you all right? - Uh-huh.
Turn the generator back on.
I want to watch a movie.
How you doing? I'm good.
I got something for you.
I found someone's stash.
Now, it's a little bit dried out, but this is gonna help with your nausea.
You're having to go further and further every time.
Well, generator needs gas, and this place has been picked over.
But the bright side is that I reckon that's exactly what's keeping us safe.
There is nothing here that anybody wants.
You can't keep it up.
We need to move.
We need other people.
It's just too dangerous out there.
That's my point.
Baby, you have three treatments left.
That's it, okay? So we are gonna get your strength up, and then I will put you on my motorcycle and I will take you wherever you want to go Wherever you can dream up.
I promise.
- Okay.
- Okay.
You are So beautiful To me Can't you see You're everything I hope for You're everything I need 'Cause you are So beautiful To me Ugh.
Damn it.
It's not like killing a person, babe.
It's not even like killing an animal.
You can't let it keep bothering you.
It doesn't bother me.
I I'm just worried that I'm gonna get used to it.
Okay.
Go turn the generator off.
How, um How's your dinner? It was really good.
If I had known that dog food could taste like this I would have been eating that shit all along.
Oh, God.
Hey.
Hmm? Happy anniversary.
Happy anniver Wait.
You actually know what day it is? No.
I just want you to have it.
Open it.
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God.
Holy shit! Where did you get this? Okay, it was in the crawlspace this whole time.
'Cause I was mad.
I was so mad that I couldn't return it, so I just hid it, and I told you I returned it.
So, there you go.
You're awesome.
I'm sorry.
I'm really sorry I made a big deal out of it.
If I'd known like, all this was gonna happen, I wouldn't have cared about a stupid credit-card bill.
No.
No, no, no, no.
See, I, um I don't deserve anything from you.
And you shouldn't be apologizing to me.
Uh, it should be me apologizing to you.
The man that I was the pain that I put you through You know, uh You know, I lie awake at night just wondering how I got so lucky that you have stuck with me.
Come here.
Listen to me.
I stuck with you 'cause I could always see the man you are right now.
Even when you weren't.
And that asshole really had it comin'.
Yes, ma'am.
- Let's smoke the pot.
- No way.
- Yeah.
- I got that for you.
No.
What, we gotta go to work tomorrow? Let's pretend it's, like, Saturday.
- Oh.
- Hmm? Are you sure? You feel okay? I feel good enough.
- Can I wear my jacket? - You better.
No.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Remember that guy and his family came through here a while back? The kid had leukemia, uh, and they were looking for this group of doctors that traveled around in a mobile clinic? Well, I remember.
I sat down with him.
He showed me his map.
These doctors, they take the same route every time, and they make the same stops.
I think that I know where they are, and if I leave right now, I can catch them before they move on.
They could be dead by now if they even existed to begin with.
And then what do you do when you find them? You have nothing to barter with, so just stop.
- I will figure it out.
- Stop Negan! I said stop! I have something to tell you.
Well, I hope you got your shittin' pants on, boy, 'cause you are about to shit your pants! Come on, dude.
Stop being a D-bag and let me play.
Don't be such a pussy! This is how you get better! You gotta take it! Are you playing with children? Uh, teenagers.
I think.
Mostly.
Yeah, you were pretty harsh, dude.
All right, yeah.
Chu Chumpo, this is how you get better.
Please tell me that you did not spend $600 on this "Happy Days" bullshit.
Calm down.
Don't worry.
I got two leads.
One's a lock, but the other one pays better, and I am just celebrating a little early, is all.
- Really? - Yeah.
Tell me about these two leads.
'Cause you can't be a gym teacher anymore.
You have a misdemeanor assault on your record, and you refuse to go back to school.
So, please, oh, I would love it if you would tell me all about this job that you got that's gonna pay for this.
Right.
I'm returning it.
I threw the receipt away! Ugh! Well, I'd like to tell you he's not the dude you married anymore, but he was always like this.
It was cute when we were younger, but it's gotten old and out of control.
I know.
I know, Janine.
I just It just feels unfair to give up on him, you know? He really was in such a good space, and he loved that job.
He loved working with those kids.
Yeah, and then he beat a guy up and he put him in the hospital.
Janine, I told you That asshole had it comin'.
How's the food? It's good.
Did you do somethin' different? Yeah, I, uh I tried a little rosemary instead of oregano, and there's a little white-wine reduction in with the chicken stock.
My appointment's tomorrow at 2:15.
What appointment? I'm getting an MRI.
I need you to drive me home.
Uh, I can't.
Tomorrow at 2:15? I-I have a meeting with the probation officer.
Besides, you know how the doctors can be.
They have you sit around for three hours with your ass hanging out, and then they tell you everything's fine.
The good news is that we caught it early on.
A lot of times, with this one, we don't.
In your case Do you have someone to drive you home? Hey.
It's me, Negan.
I'm probably out riding the bike.
So leave a message.
Shit.
Hi.
You've got Janine.
If I don't pick up Uh, he should be there.
He said he was going Um, he was gonna see you at 3:00, so he should have been there 20 minutes ago.
I'm sorry.
I don't know what to tell you.
I don't have him in my calendar for another two weeks.
Sh Cumberland have concluded that in all cases, the killers are eating the flesh of the people they kill.
Shut up and play some goddamn music! I like to do it What's going on? What is it? I've got cancer.
You knew.
You You You knew about Janine.
Uh, about me and her? You knew this whole time? Mm-hmm.
It's just, you know, I I I broke it up with her as soon as we got your diagnosis.
Uh, I never saw her or even talked to her again.
I know that, too.
I know.
Jesus, Lucille.
I don't understand.
Why are you telling me this now? 'Cause I want you to know that you made up for it and you can stop.
And if you really want to help me then just stay.
Stay.
Baby, we we were so close.
You know? This This This can work.
The doctors said that this could work.
No, they didn't.
We went down swingin'.
Now it's time for you to go on without me.
I need you to do my fighting for me, okay? Stay.
No.
No.
We are not giving up.
You know, we have made it this far, so we are gonna see this through.
I'm gonna find these doctors, and I am gonna bring you back the drugs that you need, and we are gonna kick this cancer out of you.
We are not giving up.
Do you hear me? We are not giving up.
Not ever.
That was about six weeks ago.
You know, I figured I would I would scavenge along the way, but it was worse out there than I thought.
And then I ran into some problems with the dead, and here I am.
I found that note you wrote.
My daughter went out to the warehouse to see if we have what you need.
We had it all.
Everything on your list.
I don't know what to say here.
Um We have a lot.
We just want to help.
You know, I came here threatening your life, and you've patched me up and gave me the first decent meal I've had in weeks.
You gave me everything that I asked for, and you haven't asked for anything in return.
Well, we're good.
What goes around comes around.
There's a gang that owns the roads at night.
Is that empty gun your only weapon? Yeah, I broke my hammer on the way here.
Here.
Take this.
This the bat you hit me with? Damn, girl.
You pack a wallop.
Enough.
Enough! Enough! Enough! I ask you where you got the drugs, and all you've done is tell me one stupid, pointless story after another.
First, you wouldn't talk.
Now I'm begging you to shut up.
Well, story time is over, bitch.
Now either you tell me where you got 'em, or I pull this trigger and your wife dies thinking you ran out on her.
I'm not even gonna count.
If you don't start talking by the time I stop, - I swear to God - Wait, wait, wait.
Just bring me my map.
Bring me my map.
Okay.
What about security? Security is light.
It is a guy and his daughter.
There are guards on top of the RVs.
They're decoys.
There could be a couple of others, and they have no guns.
And if they're not there for literally any reason, I'm gonna come back here and kill you.
All right? No questions asked.
Lock him in the storage room.
Good to go, my man.
Hey! Get away from that! - Shut up! - No! - Hey! - Stop! No! Lucille? Lucille? All right.
Okay.
That's enough.
You know, it's been a long day.
I I did not get much sleep last night, so this is gonna be the last time I ask.
Tell me where you keep the good stuff, or I'm gonna bring out the girl.
Hmm? She's a little young for you, don't you think? What the hell's going on out there? Stay there.
We're checking it out.
- Eh.
Go take a look.
- Over here! He's over here! Can one of you idiots tell me what the hell is going on out there?! I'm dropping my gun! Please! Are there any more of them? I think I got all of 'em.
You take this.
You go find your daughter, make sure she's okay.
Okay.
Well.
Look at us.
Here we are again.
You know, last time we did this, you said that I talk too much.
Bad news is, I got some stuff to get off my chest this time, as well.
But, see, this time This time, you'd best hope I never stop talking because when I do When I do, something very terrible is gonna happen to you.
You know I never killed a man before tonight? It's the truth.
Came close once.
See, there was this this bar my wife and I used to go to.
It was our favorite bar.
It was our favorite bar 'cause it had our favorite jukebox.
Favorite jukebox because, well, it had our favorite song.
"You Are So Beautiful" by the one and only Joe Cocker.
Probably the greatest love ballad ever written.
I'm sure you agree.
But, see, there was there was this guy.
This guy, he had, uh He had one of those voices you can't unhear.
Yeah, it was like, um, my brain had been hijacked, and I can't I can't think anymore.
Anyway, he is talking and laughing while the song is playing, being completely obnoxious.
So my beautiful wife, Lucille, she gets up, goes over to where he is, and politely asks him if he could keep it down so she could hear her song.
Well, let's just say he chose poorly.
So now I gotta get up.
And I go over, and I tell him that he owes me 50 cents so I can play the song again and he can shut the hell up and my wife can enjoy her song.
Now, here's the important part, and I really want you to pay attention to this.
You know when people get so angry they say they see red? That shit is actually true.
When this asshole comes at me, all I see is red.
It's like I am looking at the world through blood.
So I wail on him.
I wail on this son of a bitch until he's not moving.
And then I reach down, I grab his wallet, and I take out one dollar, and I play her song again.
Twice.
Turns out that this prick has kids that go to the school that I teach gym at.
Needless to say, the school was unthrilled.
I get fired.
This guy sues me.
I don't have a job, so now my wife has to pay his medical bills.
So, t-the point of this is, there were consequences to me seeing red.
Seeing red was a bad thing then.
I was a bad man then.
But, see, now, nobody's suing anybody.
Nobody's gettin' fired.
Hell, nobody's keeping score.
Now when I see red, it's just a question of what I am capable of.
And, well, man, I hate to break it to ya.
See, I am startin' to think that I am capable of damn near anything.
So this this is for not killing me.
I am sorry that I left you.
I was a coward.
I couldn't face the pain of losing you, so I ran away.
And then I made myself not feel anything because I didn't want to feel the shame.
The problem is that shame is the one thing that I still feel.
Uh, I'm sorry that you went out like that.
I should have been there.
I am sorry that I named a stupid baseball bat after you.
I am sorry for all the pain that I put you through.
I hope that you found someone in the afterlife and you are screwing your brains out.
Well not really, but fair is fair.
I miss you.
I love the shit out of you.
And I am gonna do your fighting for you.
Where's the A-Team off to? Looking for food in an Army base Daryl found.
We find anything, I'll bring some by your cabin.
Nah, that won't be necessary.
In fact, that whole situation isn't gonna work out.
I came by here hoping that maybe you could requisition a cart for me.
I can bring back my stuff.
Yeah, I'll ask Gabriel to approve that.
If you stay here, she will kill you.
I just didn't want your death on my conscience, and now it's not.
Fair enough.
