Chapter 4: Vatos

On the lake Amy and Andrea are fishing out in a boat. Andrea keeps glancing over at Amy, which she notices.

Amy: "What?"

Andrea: "Nothing"

Amy: "It's not nothing. It's always something"

Andrea: "Didn't dad teach you to tie nail knots?"

Amy: "Why would he do that? He only ever used a fisherman's knot. One knot"

Andrea: "No, he didn't. No, he tied at least three"

Amy: "Clinch knots? No way"

Andrea: "Fine, I'm making it up. Did dad teach you mostly dry lures?"

Amy: "Yeah. You?"

Andrea: "Wet"

Amy: "You're kidding. But he was always so adamant. I mean, you know dad on the fishing thing"

Andrea: "Gee, you think? I only spent my entire childhood with my ass in a boat. But in my day it was all about getting the hook seated. We were fishing for the dinner table"

Amy: "Not us. We always threw them back. Always"

Andrea: "I guess he changed things up"

Amy: "But that'd be like changing his religion or something"

Andrea: "People change. It's not his fault we were born 12 years apart"

Amy: "No. No, because the minute you went off to college it was my ass in that boat and he taught me dry lures from day one. This was not behaviour developed over time"

Andrea: "You think he did it for us?"

Amy: "Because he knew we were so different. He knew that you needed to catch the fish and I needed to throw them back" (she starts to tear up)

Andrea: "All right, remember his rule: No crying in the boat. It scares the fish"

Amy: "Mom and dad... I mean, maybe Florida wasn't hit so bad. Maybe it's better there. Do you think?"

Andrea: "I think you have a bite. Even with the wrong knots"

Amy: "Oh God. So much for the no crying rule"

Andrea: "I think that was more for dad than the fish" (The two girls smile)

At camp, Dale stands on top of the RV to keep watch for Walkers. He sees Jim over in the bushes digging holes. He realizes that Jim has been at it for quite awhile. A close-up on Jim shows that he has dug several separate holes.

Back In Atlanta, T-Dog, Daryl, Y/N, Glenn and Rick still stare at Merle's severed hand. Daryl turns his crossbow on T-Dog to kill him, but Rick pulls out his Python.

Rick: "I won't hesitate. I don't care if every walker in the city hears it"

Daryl realizes Rick is being honest and lowers the crossbow.

Daryl: "You got a do-rag or something?"

T-Dog hands him one and Daryl picks up Merle's severed hand that is already decaying.

Daryl: "I guess the saw blade was too dull for the handcuffs. Ain't that a bitch"

He puts the hand in Glenn's backpack.

Daryl: "He must have used a tourniquet... maybe his belt. Be much more blood if he didn't" (Daryl notices a blood trail)

The group starts to follow it. T-Dog picks up the tools on the roof.

Daryl: "Merle? You in here?" (The group walks down the stairs)

Y/N: "He's somewhere around here, the trail is still fresh"
