"It's just some things from the Kingdom garden-- some nectarines, some apples." "Thank you." "I am good." "You can fend for yourself, I know, but fresh produce isn't something you can just" "Really." "I'm good." "(chuckles)" "Ezekiel?" "Apparently, some people are having a hard time believing me when I say I just want to be left alone." "You know, I was trying to leave you alone, and I will." "But you called me over." "Why?" "How are you?" "Good." "Good." "Now you can go." "(chuckles)" "I think you're going soft." "I think you're going." "(scoffs)" "(insects chirping)" " Hey." " Hi."

"It's just... going this far, risking this much to get things for them-- people don't agree with it." "I wouldn't blame you if you didn't." "I was there." "I saw what happened on the road." "What we're doing is gonna keep people living." "We get to do that, it doesn't matter what happens to us." "Michonne doesn't think this is living." "Well, committing to a choice like this, after living how we did, free," "I get it." "It's hard." "It's giving up everything, right up until your own life." "But either your heart's beating, or it isn't." "Your loved ones' hearts are beating, or they aren't." "We take what they give us so that we can live." "(door shuts)" "(engine starts)" "So, how long you been with Negan?" "Why were you out there alone?" " (gun cocks)" " Tell me." "You think talking won't change how this ends for you." "But you don't know me." "Let's see what happens." "(sighs)" "I'm not gonna kill him today." "I'm gonna find the way that we win." "I'm gonna change how this ends for me." "That's why I'm out here alone." "(door opens)" "(muffled) Is that an apple pie?" "Uh." "How did you do that?" "I could smell it from outside the door." "(sighs)" "Uh, you baked it?" "Some guy gave it to us for what we did." "Mm." "His little girl said you should run for President of Hilltop." "(chuckles) "Maggie for President."" "(chuckles)" "Uh, do you want a plate?" "No, I'm good." "Did Jesus give you those?" "Is he still around?" "There's some things I wanna add to his list before he goes out." "The kids need something to write with-- pens, pencils." "Are you already president?" "Mm. (chuckles)" "I've just been talking to people." " (chuckles)" " Jesus left this morning." "He told me to tell you, but I-l forgot." "Okay." "Next time." "I'm gonna get some milk." " Let me." " No, I'm good." "(door creaks)" "What?" "You're lying to Maggie aboutJesus." "What makes you say that?" "A girl who lives in the house." "She was telling me about everyone." "She said Jesus is a runner and that he left yesterday, not this morning." " It's for her own good." " Why?" "Because I need to do something, and she'll want to help me." "(scoffs)" "You want to kill Negan." "(sighs)" "What if you have help?" "If we had help-- a lot of people-- then I wouldn't be afraid to tell her, because she'd know it wasn't on her to do it." " But if it's just me, then" " It isn't just you." "You and Maggie aren't the only ones who want to take Negan out." " There's" " No, Enid." "That's not happening." "And if you care about her, you don't say anything about this." "(sighs)" "We have to keep her safe." "You have to keep her safe." "It isn't just you." "It sure looks like it." "Richard:" "A lot of places came together after the world fell apart." "Maybe you're both from one of those places." "Most of those communities and camps are gone now." "I lost people." "I pretty much lost hope in people." "But then I found the Kingdom." "I met Ezekiel." "(sighs) I saw what he built." "But now I believe what he built is under threat." "The Saviors." "The Saviors." "A few months back," "Ezekiel and a few guards met a group of them in the woods." "The Saviors recognized Ezekiel's capabilities, and Ezekiel didn't want to fight, so they cut a deal." "In exchange for food and supplies, no one would get hurt, and they'd never set foot inside the Kingdom, and very few of us even know." "What does any of this have to do with me?" "I know Ezekiel likes you." "I also know that Ezekiel trusts you, and that's why I'm here." "I need you to help me convince him of something." "Right now, we have peace with the Saviors, but sooner or later, something's gonna go wrong." "Maybe we'll be light on a drop, or maybe one of ours will look at one of theirs the wrong way, or maybe they'll just decide to stop honoring the deal." "Things will go bad." "And when they do... the Kingdom will fall." "I had a family." "I lost it to this world." "I saw them die." "I'm scared that, if we don't do something now, that we won't only lose more people, we'll lose everything." "I know what the Saviors are, and I know what they do." "And I know they cannot be trusted." "And I think you know that, too." "What exactly are you asking?" "I'm asking you to help convince Ezekiel to attack the Saviors, to strike first... and destroy them." "Gabriel:" "Is that for you... or Negan?" "It's for him." "How will you do it?" "I'll pull the trigger." "They'll kill you." "As long as he goes first." "Why do you have to die?" "Because he has to." "I agree." "But..." "Why do you?" "There's, uh... no need to lie to me if... this is our last conversation." "If Abraham was alive, we could fight." "If Glenn was," "Maggie's kid would have a father." "Michonne and Carl can fight." "They have Rick." "Aaron has Eric." "Eugene knows things." "Daryl's strong." "What about Sasha?" "Look at me, Rosita." "It shouldn't have been you." "It shouldn't have been anyone." "We'll win, but we need to wait for the right moment or create it... together." "And you're a part of that together." "Don't do this." "We need you."

"I know there's a lot of them." "I'm guessing a good deal more than we have at the Kingdom." "The element of surprise is our only hope." "We need to attack first, and we need to do it now while we still have the advantage." "Carol, I imagine that violence and fighting is something you haven't been a part of." "You're wrong." "Morgan:" "You're very wrong." "She's probably the most capable fighter in this room." "Then it's time to fight." "No." "This is something lam not a part of." "Then you don't have to fight." "You just have to convince Ezekiel to bring the Kingdom to fight." "You're not understanding me." "I didn't want you." "I didn't want Ezekiel or Morgan coming here." "And I don't want anything to do with your lives or your deaths." "I just want to be left alone." "People will die, a lot of them." "You killed a man." "I took a life to save a life." "It's the same goddamn thing." "We'll be taking their lives to save ours!" "Only you don't know that it will." "You're gonna choose to kill one day, Morgan, 'cause it will get that bad!" "Why not choose now, before you lose someone you care about?" "There's a peace now." "I won't be a part of changing that." "And maybe we can build on that." "Not with these people!"

"She was doing a really good job of it." "Then she died, not long after Rick showed up-- same with my brother, same with my dad." "So, everything was peachy here for, what, years?" "And then Rick shows up and suddenly you're an orphan?" "That is the saddest story I've ever heard." "Good thing for you he's not in charge anymore." "Doesn't matter." "His ego's out of control."

"I mean, look, I know we started this relationship with me beating the holy shit out of your friends, and because of that, we're never gonna sit around and braid each other's hair or share our deepest, darkest secrets," "but how about a little credit?" "I just bent over backwards to show you how reasonable I am." "Your kid-- he hid in one of my trucks and machine-gunned a bunch of my men down, and I brought him home, safe and sound, and I fed him spaghetti." "Another one of your people-- well, he wanted me to kill you and put him in charge." "I took him out for you." "And another one, here-- she shot Lucille, trying to kill me just now, so I gave you one less mouth to feed." "And by looking at her, that mouth did some major damage." "Now, personally," "I wouldn't have picked her to be the one to go, but Arat..." "(sighs) ...I don't know, didn't trust her." "Your shit's waiting for you at the gate." "Just go." "Sure thing, Rick... right after I find the guy or gal that made this bullet." "Arat?" "It was me!" "(Eugene crying) No, it wasn't." "(sniffling)" "It was me." "(sniffles)" "It was only me." "You?"
