"Wake it up, kid." "[Sighs] Why does it have to be so early?" "Got a lot to do today." "You want to go back to sleep?" "No way." "You said you wanted to be able to knock your brother on his butt when you first came to me." "That really what you want?" "Henry:" "Yeah." "No." "You want to be like your brother." "Morgan:" "Yeah?" "Yeah." "[Chuckles]" "**" "All right." "Check your feet, 'cause if your feet ain't right -- Nothing's right." "Huh."

"We were just about to come out to clear the " "Where's Morgan?" " You okay?" " Where is Morgan?" "Why did Jesus bring Daryl and everyone else to the Kingdom?" "They, um..." "They wanted to see if we could all start working together on things." "The Saviors are still here." "They're not fighting with the Kingdom, but..." "Daryl said they beat them back in Alexandria." "Is that true?" "That they made a deal with them?" "Is everyone okay?" "Just tell me if it's true." "You need to talk to Daryl about that." "**" "He wanted me to keep the whole story about you from everybody." "Told me not to say where you were, and I did what you asked." "Daryl didn't find you because of me." "And what was said between you and him was said between you and him." "I will go with you to Alexandria, if you want to make the trip... if you want to talk to him." "**" "You shouldn't go alone." "You found what you wanted, right?" "You got away from everyone." "Is it what you wanted?" "Was it just too late to get away?" "Hey, we can leave for Alexandria right now." "Right now, if you want to." "[Sighs]" "Is there anything I can help you with?" "No." "Well, can I just " "If you don't mind, could I walk back to the cottage with you?" "No!" "We have a drop today, but I can miss it." "[Sighs] I just..." "I'm trying to learn, and seeing what you did here, I..." "There were five of them." "I would just really appreciate it if you would just..." "let me see how you do what you do." "No." "Go do your drop." "[Insects buzz in distance]" "Okay."

"You're not gonna like it." "I like waiting to hear bad news less." "We got a little problem that could turn into a big problem inside of a week." "Most of the plants down there, they got weevils." "We have to cut and burn everything before the weevils get to the main crops in the courtyard." "I know the royal garden is important to you." "I'm sorry." "[Sighs]" "Thank you, Nabila." "Do what must be done." "Here's the beautiful thing, Your Majesty " "You can tear it out and cut it down." "You can burn it and throw it all away." "But if you want, it can all grow back." "[Shiva growls]" "Okay." "I think I just pissed myself." "I'm-a gonna go." "[Door opens, closes]" "**" "We're at "five minutes go."" "Okay." "Um... thank you for this." "[Sighs] I'm still thinking about it." ""To injure an opponent is to injure oneself."" "Get injured no matter what." "[Sighs]" "I got something for you -- for the new place." "Thanks." "[Chuckles]" "Wow." "I found it at a restaurant I was scavenging." "I know a girl, and she, uh, fixed it up for me." "There." "I was getting tired of looking at that nail." "[Chuckles]" "So, who's the girl?" "Uh..." "[Sighs]" "We're at, like, "three minutes go" right now, so..." "Kid's too young to be a father." "Were you one?" "I was, thank God." "But I wasn't too young -- perfect age, perfect time." "I had myself the perfect family and the perfect life." "I didn't ask for much, and I got more than I deserved." "And you?" "I'm sorry for how things have been between you and me." "I think you're wrong about killing... about how you think things can last like this with the Saviors." "[Pistol cocks]" "But I'm sorry." "I know you're a good man." "The day's coming where you can't be that good." "When that happens, don't beat yourself up about it." "Ezekiel:" "Benjamin, it's time for us to take our leave." "See you, little man." "Leave the cobbler." "[Truck door closes] [Muffled] Really?" "Jerry." "Fine." "[Engine starts]" "Who's the girl?" "[Chuckles]" "Richard:" "Everyone stay down." "Get your guns up." "Somebody blocked the road." "Can't be for anything good." "Your Majesty, stay inside." "[Engine idling]" "Take a look if you want, but keep your guns up."

"Benjamin, get your gun up." "Think that's high enough?" "You're fine, man." "Dianne:" "Jesus..." "This world drives one mad." "People have lived through every kind of misery -- tyrants, genocide, systems of quiet hate -- while others enjoy freedom on the same piece of land." "Yet this, how we must exist now " "It is mere luck we are not all insane." "It isn't luck, Your Majesty." "How's that?" "The world does drive people crazy now." "But... you made us another world."

"You rat-faced prick." "Gavin:" "Ezekiel, there aren't any kings, presidents, or prime ministers." "And all that is a fairy tale, too." "Don't bring that "Your Highness" shit our way." "Now, I appreciate that you've been delivering, but... things have been unnecessarily tense, and that makes me unnecessarily tense." "I didn't go this route for stress." "No." "Just the opposite." "So let's get to it." "Do you have today's offering?" "[Sighs]" "I want your guns, too." "[Guns cock]" "We did not agree to that." "Well, you got a choice " "Same one that's been there since the beginning, I guess." "You can give up your guns, or you can try to use them." "What's it gonna be?" "**" "We should give them over, Your Majesty." "[Mockingly] "Ehh, we should give 'em over, Your Majesty."" "Or maybe I'll just shove this down your throat." "Give Morgan his stick back." "[Chuckles]" "Then you can have the guns." "And all of us can go on with our day's journeys." "Ezekiel..." "I need you to understand the gravity of what's happening here." "I gave you a choice." "What is it going to be?" "Come on." "You know the answer." "Morgan:" "It's fine." "Give them your guns." "We took your guns just now because things are about to get emotional." "You guys have proven that you don't do so good with emotional." "You're short." "We said 12." "I count 11." "There are 12 there." "There aren't." "Count again." "You count them!" "**" "I counted them." "I did." "T-This is impossible." "It's possible." "It's real." "It's happening now." "And the problems have to end...now." "You have to learn the stakes here, so we're gonna teach you." "You don't have to do anything." "We'll get you twice the tribute in an hour." "Right now...is the only time that matters." "And right now... you haven't held up your side of the bargain." "Gavin:" "After we have talked about things, over and over again and again." "So we're gonna deal with all of this... right now." "Right now as in..."right now"?" "Yeah." "Right...now." "[Sighs]" "[Pistol cocks]" "**" "**" "Just do it." "[Sighs]" "Okay." "[Gunshot, body thumps] Morgan:" "No!" "[Gunshot, body thumps] Morgan:" "No!" "[Screaming] Gavin:" "Everybody settle down!" "We need to get Benjamin back to the Kingdom." "Give the man his damn stick!" "Get in the truck!" "Don't say a goddamn word!" "[Staff clatters]" "We need to get back." "No." "Right now, you have to listen." "For once, be present and listen." "You will make your deliveries on time, every time, and they will be complete." "It's A's or F's, no I's." "[Snaps fingers]" "You are gonna show me that you understand by bringing the balance of what you owe tomorrow." "We need to go!" "He's bleeding out!" "One cantaloupe, not more, not less!" "Do you understand?" "!" "Yes, I understand." "Gavin:" "Go patch him up." "Okay." "[Grunts]" "Dianne, we need to drive to Carol's!" "We loaded her up with medical supplies!" "We need to stop the bleeding." "He's not gonna make it to the Kingdom." "Benjamin:" "Aah!" "Let's go!" "Up!" "Benjamin: [Coughing] [Engine starts]" "Hey!" "Get in!"

"Benjamin:" "[Breathing heavily]" "Ezekiel:" "All right." "Okay." "It's okay." "[Gasping]" "It's okay." ""T-To injure an opponent... is to injure yourself."

"[Crate clatters]" "[Sniffles]" "Benjamin, get your gun up." "[Birds chirp in distance]" "[Door slams]" "It was supposed to be me." "That's what Gavin said -- that I'd be first." "I was trying to stop it." "I was gonna give my life to show you!" "That's what should've happened today." "That's what I tried." "And something else happened because we have done nothing to stop them." "We've done nothing!" "Nothing." "[Breathes shakily]" "I was in a camp when it started." "It was huge...endless... a city of -- of tarps and latrines and wood smoke and babies crying." "There were always babies crying." "I knew they had problems, but I didn't think they were mine to solve." "I thought there were stronger or smarter people there than me." "[Voice breaking] W-Who the hell am I, right?" "So I did nothing." "A-And there was a fight... [gasps] and a fire." "And I lost my wife." "And after three days of running, no food, and no sleep... of horror and terror... [gasps] I lost my little girl." "Right in front of me... because I didn't do something." "Because I waited." "[Breathes deeply]" "[Somber tones play]" "Listen to me." "Please." "Just listen." "We can use what's happened." "We can show the Saviors that we get it." "We understand what we need to do." "We know how to go on." "And they need to believe us." "We have to do something to make them believe us." "And then, when we gain their trust back... we kill them... end them." "We join with Alexandria and the Hilltop, and we crush them in one fell swoop." "But this is it, Morgan." "You have...to...kill." "Or else you might as well just kill yourself." "[Ominous tones play]" "Someone had to die." "I tried to be the one." "That didn't happen." "So I'll be the one to lead our army to crush the Saviors -- destroy them." "Me." "I'll talk to Ezekiel."

"And we had your offering when we left -- had it all." "He took one from the cargo, and he hid it -- when we stopped." "He wanted to get something started between the Kingdom and the Saviors." "Hey." "Hey!" "Wanted to show you..." "Wanted to show you that we get it..." "That we understand what it is that we need to do -- [voice breaking] that we know how to go on." "Gavin:" "Good."
