Rick stares at a sunrise over Atlanta as he tries to reach Morgan on the walkie-talkie.

Rick: "Morgan, I don't know if you're out there. I don't know if you can hear me. Maybe you're listening right now. I hope so. I found others... my family, if you can believe it. My wife and son, they're alive. I wanted you to know that. There's something else you need to know. Atlanta isn't what we thought. It's not what they promised. The city is... Do not enter the city. It belongs to the dead now. We're camped a few miles northwest, up by a big abandoned rock quarry. You can see it on a map. I hope you come find us. But be careful. Last night walkers came out of the woods. We lost people. Watch yourself, Morgan. Take care of your boy. I'll try you again tomorrow at dawn"

Andrea keeps vigil over the body of her dead sister Amy. Lori comes to her.

Lori: "Andrea. I'm so sorry. She's gone. You got to let us take her. We all cared about her and I promise we'll be as gentle as we can"

The survivors of the attack start to clean up, burning the walker bodies and burying the dead from their group. Daryl swings at dead walkers' heads with a pickaxe as Glenn, Y/N, and T-Dog throw bodies in a fire.

Rick: "She still won't move?"

Lori: "She won't even talk to us. She's been there all night. What do we do?"

Shane: "Can't just leave Amy like that. We need to deal with it same as the others"

Rick: "I'll tell her how it is" (Rick tries to approach Andrea but she pulls a gun on him)

Rick: "Andrea"

Andrea: "I know how the safety works"

Rick: "All right. Okay. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry" (Rick backs off)

Daryl: "Y'all can't be serious. Let that girl hamstring us? The dead girl's a time bomb"

Rick: "What do you suggest?"

Daryl: "Take the shot. Clean, in the brain from here. Hell, I can hit a turkey between the eyes from this distance"

Lori: "No. For God's sakes, let her be"

Daryl shakes his head and walks back towards the piles of Walkers.

Daryl: "Wake up, Jimbo. We've got some work to do"

Morales is dragging the body of a dead camper toward the fire, when Daryl starts helping him drag.

Morales: "Thanks. Thanks"

While they drag the body, Glenn notices who they are dragging.

Glenn: "What are you guys doing? This is for geeks. Our people go over there"

Daryl: "What's the difference? They're all infected"

Glenn: "Our people go in that row over there. We don't burn them! We bury them. Understand? Our people go in that row over there"

Daryl and Morales drag the body toward the digging hole.

Daryl: "You reap what you sow"

Morales: "You know what? Shut up, man"

Daryl gets upset and starts to walk away from Morales.

Daryl: "Y'all left my brother for dead. You had this coming"

Jacqui and Jim pile up bodies. Jacqui notices blood on Jim's shirt.

Jacqui: "Are you bleeding?"

Jim: "I just got some on me from the bodies"

Jacqui: "That blood is fresh. Were you bit?"

Jim: "No. I got scratched during the attack"

Jacqui: "You got bit"
