The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon (2023) s01e05 Episode Script

Deux Amours

1
There, a man named Azlan from the nest
- will be waiting for us with a boat.
- [SPEAKS FOREIGN LANGUAGE]
WOMAN: We have searched all night.
Where would he go?
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
- [YELLS]
- Daryl.
[YELLS]
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
Go.
WOMAN: She's gone, Quinn. For good.
Women need a damn good reason
to come back.
And sometimes, we need a damn
good reason to stay.

What's it like at the Nest?
It's a special place.
A home for the soul.
But he's gonna be safe?
I'm afraid those nuns raised him
a little a little soft.
He'll be well looked after.
Nurtured and groomed
to be the leader he's destined to be.

[SCOFFS] Right.

Are you a Christian, brother?
No. They kicked me out of Sunday school.
In the Bible, Abram becomes a pilgrim
after the Lord tells him,
"Go from your country and your kindred
and your father's house
to the land that I will show you".
I'm guessing Abram
didn't end up in France.
No. But I'm curious
How did you end up here,
so far from home?

[ENGINE SHUTS OFF]
Hey.
Need help, friend?
No, I'm good.
Where you headed?
Headed home.
[CHUCKLES]
On a bike with no fuel, huh?
You got some to spare?
Well, depends.
You any good with that thing?
Alright. Just, uh, grab a seat anywhere.
We'll get started in a few.
Alright.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

JUNO: Pretty.
She your girl?
Sure is.
Maybe I'll give her a call
when we're done here.
[LAUGHTER]
Okay. Circle up! Circle up, people!
Come on! Circle up!
Time is money! Chop, chop!
Come on, people! Let's go, let's go!
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
Ground rules, fellas.
Fighting will not be tolerated.
Same goes for stealing
or sexual deviancy of any kind.
Keep your shit together.
No children will be accepted,
nor elderly or shorties.
Five foot, four inches is the cut-off.
What do you want 'em for anyway?
[FRENCH ACCENT]
This is not your concern.
One pint of ethanol per head
is all you need to know.
What? No. We were told a quart.
Well, I'm telling you
that's not what it is.
Yeah, but
A quart for the fresh ones, okay?
That's more like it.
Alright. Back wall. Take what you need.
Wheels up in five.
I'm kinda thinking our chances
may be better in numbers,
so if anybody wants to team up,
I'm open to it.
[CHUCKLES]
I'll have my assistant call you.
We got all the guys we need.
Anyone?
[MEN LAUGHING]
["J'AI DEUX AMOURS" PLAYING]
AZLAN: I'm sure however
you got here, it was hard.

I fear your journey home
may be even harder.
How much further?
About 200 kilometers.

In American, it's about 124 miles.

[WALKERS GROWLING]

[WHISTLES]

[WALKERS GROWLING]

Let's go, you idiots. Come this way
[WALKERS GROWLING]

No, no. In the party room.
Get over here!

Alright. That's five.
And that one's fresh.
Can't be more than a few months turnt.
Got it. Okay.
MAN: Hurry up.

Holy shit. Look at this guy.
[WALKERS GROWLING]

Not bad, friend.
Should be better tomorrow.
That's really something.
Yeah, I had a few, you know.
Stopped to fill my canteen.
Damn if they didn't get away somehow.
That's a tough break.
Right. Tough break.
Look, mister, you, uh
you think you could give me
a few pointers?
Yeah. Yeah. Go home to your girl.
Yeah.
I'm trying, but I can't
really go back empty-handed.
Maybe you could use a partner.
To help out, you know? For a cut.
WOMAN: Done.
Do I look like I need help?

[CLANGING]
AZLAN: Still here.

You got a date?
Almost time for prayer.
Allah keeps us on a tight schedule.
LAURENT: Daryl!
Daryl!
Look what I caught.
Oh, wow. Look at you
getting the hang of it.
- He's a beauty, isn't he?
- Yeah, he is.
Grab your knife.
I'll show you how to gut him.
- Gut him?
- Yeah, we wanna eat him.
You didn't think we were
doing this for fun, did you?
I can't eat animals.
I made a promise to God.
I think God will understand.
AZLAN: He's right, Laurent.
It's allowed when
there is no other option.
You ain't at the abbey anymore.
DARYL: You gotta learn how
to take care of yourself.
I miss Issa.
We all got people we miss.
What people do you have?
I have friends.
You know my friends,
but I don't know about yours.
It's not fair.
Life's not fair.
Ask the fish.
Alright. Uh, let's see.
There's Judith and RJ.
They're kids, like you.
Uh, there's Connie, Ezekiel.
There's a lady named Carol.
They sound nice.
Yeah. How do you know?
[GRUNTS]
You miss Issa, too. I can tell.
See? Didn't feel a thing.
Not to worry.
We'll all be together again.

Bonjour, Madame Isabelle.

[DOOR OPENS]
Bonjour, ma chérie. Ça va ?
Marie makes the most
wonderful patisseries.
She will fetch you anything you want.
See what I left for you?
Got a warehouse full of things.
You can go there anytime
you want, take your pick.
It's not for me.
You're just being contrary.
Must be the drugs.
I wanted to let you rest
while I took care of business.
So I could prove to you that
I was gonna keep my promise.
Have you?
I've just been with a couple
of Pouvoir blokes.
They assured me that Laurent
made it out of the city.
He's headed north now with your, um
American friend.
It's what you wanted. So
How long's it gonna take?
For what?
For you to see me different.
Want me again.

Everything happens for a reason.
Isn't that what God's all about?
God loves the sinner.
So there's hope for me, then?

I've locked that part of myself away
a long time ago.
I
I need to pray on it.

[BIRD CRIES]
[SCRAPING]
Alright. Gonna go through the
tail and out through the mo
Hey. Through the tail, out
through the mouth, alright?
Have you ever read the Quran?
- No.
- I have.
It's interesting that there are
many different names
- but only one God.
- Hm.
Who do you pray to?
I don't.
Then what do you believe in?
Hm, pulling my own weight. Alright.
In through the tail, out
through the mouth, like that.
Got it? Alright?
Alright. Here. You try.
I don't want to.
Sometimes you gotta do things
you don't want to do.
Sometimes you don't have a choice.

Dear Lord, I ask that you
look over Judith and RJ in America
as well as Carol, Connie, and Ezekiel.
I put them in my prayers
'cause Daryl doesn't know how to pray
I think you're the only one I know
that still uses one of those.
It saved my life.
What, did it stop a bullet or something?
Something like that, yes.
So, I heard Le Havre is the only place
you can find something still floating.
Unfortunately, Genet controls
the port in Le Havre.
Figures.
But our leader, Losang,
will help you secure a boat home.
A lone wolf who only wants
to get back to his pack.
I made a promise.
There are times when even
a man's promise gets overwhelmed
by a connection to other people
or a larger cause.

You know, when a man dies
in someone else's war,
it's his kids that suffer.
That gets passed down to their kids.
After a while, no one even
remembers what the "cause" was.

The causes were
never really my thing.
When I first got to the Nest,
I had just lost my wife and son.
All I wanted to do was die.
Losang asked me to fix this watch,
told me how important it was.
I worked on it, day and night,
for months.
And when I finally got it running,
he told me it didn't matter anymore.
Because I had found a reason to live.
LAURENT: you'll continue
on our journey.
Please, Lord, let me be strong
like Daryl is strong.

[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]
MAN: Looks like you when you was 17.
You need any help, mister?
I'm not looking for a handout.
DREW: Hear that? Juno's a "mister" now.
[CHUCKLES]
I'll do anything you need.
JUNO: Anything?
No. Easy, mister.
Remember what he said
about sexual deviance.
[LAUGHTER]
He's kidding. He's kidding.
He's kidding.
JUNO: Alright. Look, kid.
You chop some more firewood,
keep this rollin' while
we rest the night, and
I'll consider letting you come along.
Cool?
Why does he look so confused?
He's scared. I think you scared him.
[LAUGHTER]
Hi. Come here. Give me that.
Alright. Follow through.
There. You try.
Yeah. Thanks.
[CLATTER]
Alright. So what are you doing out here?
I'm from just outside Freeport,
a couple miles up the road.
My girl her father
practically keeps her prisoner.
I promised I'd take her far away,
so I can't go back without any fuel.
Where's "far away"?
California. I hear it's better there.
You can't believe everything you hear.
It's gotta be better than this, right?
[DOOR CREAKING]
Yeah.
Remember. Follow through.
DARYL: Follow the grain.
Thanks!
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Over there, please, Marie.
- Certainly, sir.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
- Oh. Hello, Miss Valery.
- Hello, Marie.
Where's Monsieur Quinn?
- I'm afraid he's busy.
- I can wait.
No, but he's busy for the evening.
I know I've made mistakes.
But everything is different now.
I can be a better man for you.

Mm.

After all
Abraham sacrificed his only son.
But Isaac was saved.
And in the end, Abraham was redeemed.
I believe in redemption.
And I know you do, too.
I'm sorry.
It's been so long.
It's okay. It's okay. You're not ready.
I can be patient.

It's just you and me now.

We've got all the time in the world.

[DOOR OPENS]

[INSECTS CHIRPING]
[FIRE CRACKLING]
[RADIO STATIC]
MAN: Message received. Over.
Standing by. Over.
I hope they find your friend quick.
The connection usually
only lasts a few minutes,
and we've already been
at this for a while.
You read me? Over.
[STATIC]
Told you.
Alright.
Come on, Bessy.
CAROL: Hello. Are you there?
Hello! Hey! It's me!
Daryl. Are you okay?
Yeah, well, I have a radio here.
I thought, what the hell?
How you doing?
Where's there?
I'm in Maine, by the coast.
Everything good there?
Yeah, you know, pretty quiet here.
Quiet's good. You okay?
Yeah. Just takes some
getting used to, that's all.

You sure you're okay?

You never have to worry about me, Daryl.
How is it out there?
I'll tell you all about it
when I see you.
I'm just gathering up some fuel.
I'll be there in about a week.
I promise.
Copy that.
- Hey, Daryl.
- Yeah.
[TRANSMISSION BREAKING UP]
came back.
Who came back?
[STATIC]
Carol. Who came back?
[STATIC]
Carol?
[CLATTERING]
[WALKER GROWLING]

[GROWLING STOPS]
Stay here.

AZLAN: Over here. Daryl.

One got away from me.
I took care of it.
I slipped fighting them off.
I think something pierced my back.
I can't seem to move.
No. [GRUNTS]
I'm covered in their blood.
Don't touch me.
All those years of training,
and I'm done in by a telephone pole.
It's a tough break.
At least we know God
has a sense of humor.
My father worked for the phone company
all his life.
[COUGHING]
I'll get you some water.
Save it.
Just get the boy to the Nest.
[GROANS]
Open it.
Follow the river.
[TICKING]
You'll find it.

And beware of telephone poles.
I'm at peace, Monsieur Dixon.
The boy is in good hands.
And I'm facing east.
Here.
Use my knife to do it.
Alright.

[MUTTERING]

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Come on.
[SHOVEL CLATTERS]
Alright, then. We should get going.

- Come on.
- I can carry it myself.
Alright.
Let's go.

Where's the boat?!

Fuck!
Did you do this?
Hm?
Did you do this?!
Give me the knife.
Is this what you used?
- [WATER SPLASHES]
- Why would you do this?!
Why?!
How the hell are we
supposed to get there now?!

You stupid little shit!
Do you know what you've done?!
You think you're so goddamn smart!
Worthless!
I should've left you
right where I found you!
What do I do with you now?!
I wanna know why.
Why would you do this?
Why?! Tell me why!

Everyone I care about is gone.
When we get to the Nest, you'll go, too.
I don't want to be alone.
Yeah. Come here. I didn't mean it.
It's gonna be alright.

It's alright.

Come on.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]


[DOOR CLOSES]

Don't worry. I bet there's gonna be
a whole bunch of good people
at the Nest.
How do you know? They could be mean.
Azlan was from the Nest. He wasn't mean.
Why can't I come with you?
You just can't.
But why?
I told Isabelle I'd drop you off
at the Nest.
She'll come looking for you there.
But I can help you.
I promise to do whatever you say.
You'll only have to show me things once.
It ain't about that.
What's it about?
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
- Shh.
- [INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
We gotta go. Come on. Let's go.

- My stuff!
- Leave it.
It must have opened. I'm sorry.
It's gonna be fine.
Don't worry about it.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

- Hurry up.
- Come on, pretty.
[WALKERS GROWLING]
What the fuck happened?
How the hell should I know?
We found him out there.
You found him like that?
Guess we lucked out.
He's got rope burns on his neck.
A quart's a quart, you prick.
You know, you snooze, you lose.
[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]
JONES: Stop fighting!
Right now! Stop it!
- Stop it!
- I told you, no fighting!
Stop it.
- Alright. Get 'em out!
- Come on!
- Out!
- He killed him!
- You know the rules! Out!
- Grady.
- Grady and Juno.
- Move.
JUNO: Alright, alright, alright.

I need you to follow the river
until you find this place.
What will you do?
Don't worry about me.
I'll be right behind you. Take it.
Take it.
I can't go on my own.
You said you would do
everything I tell you, right?
I'm telling you. Go.
Go!

Boy? What boy?
[SPITS]
[SPEAKING FRENCH]
Take your eyes out if you don't talk.
Where's the boy hiding?
Fuck you.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]
Did you steal it?
[CHUCKLES]
When you left Paris,
you could walk into any shop
on Place Vendôme and
grab handfuls of stuff.
I got this for you.
I didn't think it'd be 12 years
till I gave it to you.
I have to go out for a while,
but I will be back.
Where are you going?
Madame Genet has invited me
to a gathering at Maison Mère.
She calls it "De Gaulle Day".
She considers you a friend?
She needs people like me,
that can get their hands on things.
I've been thinking about what you said.
About going back to
the way things used to be.
You can't move forward
if you're looking back.

[EXHALES SHAKILY]
Let's start over.
[INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS]

Poor Joan.
Guess God told her to slay the munchers.
A real card, you know,
old General De Gualle.
He used to say, "How am I
supposed to govern a country
that's got 246 varieties of cheese?"

Monsieur Quinn.
Aces. I brought the primo stuff.

he accepted an
How do you call it in English?
Un pot de vin ?
Bribe.
Précisement. A bribe.
To allow people out
we wanted to keep in.
Should have done his job.
If you please.

GENET: You've disappointed me.
Didn't we have an agreement?

You've got no idea what you've done.

I can explain this.
- Really?
- Yeah.
[CHUCKLES]
Well, I'll give you time
to gather your thoughts.
- Hey. Whoa.
- Get your hands up.
Hang on a sec! Wait! Hey! Wait.
You need me. What are you
Get your fucking hands off me.
GENET: Come on, dear.
Come on.
Sorry.

LAURENT: Issa.

D'accord ?


[DOOR CLOSES]
You know, I held up my end of things.
And if you'd had done your part,
none of this would be happening.
