Clem looks around the cabin and sees plywood attached to the cabin.
She walks towards the plywood and tries to pull the plywood but fails. She uses the hammer to remove the nails and then moves the plywood. She crouches underneath the foundation of the house.
Carlos:House meeting in five minutes.
Alvin:That's great.
Carlos:It won't take long.
Carlos:There's a few things we need to discuss.
Alvin:Fine.
Clem reaches a trapdoor and tries to open the door, but can't.
Clem pulls out her knife and uses it to open the trapdoor, but the blade breaks. She enters the cabin.
Carlos:I've already made my decision.
Pete:Well, luke has more to say, I guess.
Pete:Where's sarah?
Carlos:She's got her book.
Carlos:She doesn't need to be a part of this.
Clem opens the door slowly and enters the living room.
Clem slowly goes upstairs. She slowly enters one of the bedrooms and takes the rags on the dresser.
Clem:Not exactly bandages, but they should help stop the bleeding.
Clem exits the bedroom slowly and enters the bathroom slowly.
Clem opens the medicine cabinet and takes a needle from the pincushion.
Clem:It's clean.
Clem:I'll still need something to keep it from getting infected.
Clem is about to open the door when she hears something.
Rebecca:That man sometimes, I swear!
Clem gets in the closest and closes the door.
Rebecca enters the bathroom and drinks some water from the sink.
Rebecca:Damn it.
Rebecca:Just need to have this baby, and oh, god.
Rebecca:Let it be okay and let it be his.
Rebecca takes a deep breath and leaves.
Clem gets out of the closet and slowly exits the bathroom.
Clem opens the other bedroom door slowly and sees Sarah looking at her. She puts her finger on her lips and shushes Sarah.
Sarah:You're not supposed to be in here.
Clem:Hey.
Clem:Don't make a sound.
Clem:I'm just trying to fix my arm.
Sarah:Um, what do you want?
Clem:I need your help.
Sarah:My dad says I shouldn't talk to you.
Sarah:I'm gonna get in trouble.
Clem:Help me, and I won't tell him.
Sarah: I.
Clem:I'm hurt.
Clem:Please help me.
Sarah:I shouldn't.
Sarah:What happened to you?
Clem:A dog bit me.
Sarah:Sounds scary, I bet it hurts.
Clem:Your dad didn't care if it hurt or not.
Clem:He's willing to let me die.
Sarah:That's not true.
Clem:Has he let people die before?
Sarah:Well, I don't know.
Sarah:Not on purpose.
Sarah:I don't know.
Clem:You can help, you know.
Clem:I just need something to clean it with.
Clem:I bet it would be with the rest of your medical supplies.
Sarah:Yeah, it is.
Sarah:I'll help you.
Clem:Good.
Clem:Thank you.
Sarah:I'm sarah.
Clem:Hi there.
Sarah:We're friends.
Sarah:Right?
Sarah:We can be best friends. I haven't met another girl my age since way before.
Sarah:It's hard to be the only girl, you know?
Sarah: Rebecca is okay, but she's old. And that's it.
Sarah:And if her baby is a girl, it'll be forever before she's old enough to, like, be my friend.
Sarah:And then I'll be super old.
Clem:We're not the same age.
Sarah:What?
Clem:We're not the same age.
Clem:You said we were; we're not.
Sarah:How old are you?
Sarah:I'm fifteen.
Clem:I'm younger.
Clem:A lot.
Sarah:You don't seem like it.
Clem:That's just how it is.
Sarah:So we can be friends, then?
Clem: No.
Clem:No, I'm sorry.
Clem:It wouldn't be honest.
Sarah:What?
Sarah:Why not?
Clem:We just can't be.
Sarah:Fine then.
Sarah:If I help you, will you leave me alone?
Sarah:I don't want to get in trouble. Sarah:I'll get the stuff my dad uses when I get a cut.
Sarah searches the room and then gives Clem a bottle of peroxide.
Sarah:I think this is it.
Clem:That'll work.
Sarah:You can't do it here, though. Sarah:Someone will find you.
Clem:Don't worry, I won't.
Clem slowly leaves the room.
Clem:Thanks, sarah.
Sarah shushes her.
Clem slowly goes back downstairs and returns to the shed.
Otis: You're back.
Clem: Yeah.
Clem takes out the supplies. She rolls up her sleeve and places her arm on the table.
Clem:This is gonna suck.
Shawn: Yeah, it is.
Shawn unscrews the lid of the peroxide and holds down Clem's arm.
Shawn: Ready?
Clem: Yeah.
Otis: Hopefully.
Shawn pours it on Clem's wound, which makes Clem scream in pain.
Clem:Okay, okay, I'm good.
Clem:I'm fine.
Clem:Now the fun part.
Shawn puts the thread through the needle.
Shawn: Otis, come help clem.
Otis grabs Clem's other hand.
Shawn: Ready?
Clem: Go for it.
Shawn begins the first suture, then Clem squeezes Otis's hand hard. He continues suturing, and Clem continues to scream in pain. When he's done, he lets go of Clem's arm, and Otis, let's go of Clem's hand.
Clem starts wrapping her arm up with the bandages but drops them. As she picks them up, a walker reaches through the shed and grabs her leg. She holds onto the table and reaches for the hammer as she tries to kick it away, but it knocks her over. The wall breaks, and the walker crawls all the way into the shed and attacks her. Shawn kicks it away and Clem get up.
Otis pushes the walker backward with the rake, and it gets impaled by the anchor.
Clem grabs the hammer and hits it repeatedly in the head until she kills it. Luke opens the shed, the rest of the group close behind him.
Luke:Holy shit.
Alvin:What the?
???:How the hell did it get in here?
Pete:Little girl's tough as nails.
Carlos:Are you alright?
Luke:The shed should've been safe.
Clem:I am still not bitten!
Shawn: She never was!
Otis: And you left clem out here to die.
Luke sees Clem's arm is fixed.
Luke:You patched yourself up?
???:Where'd you get that stuff?!
Rebecca:Did they steal from us?
Pete:This doesn't change a thing.
Pete:They haven't done anything to us.
Luke: Well, clem anyway.
Rebecca:Says the man not carrying a baby.
Pete:Enough already!
Clem:You left us no choice.
Rebecca:You coulda just left.
Pete:Relax, rebecca.
Carlos:Bring them in, and I'll take a look at her arm.
Alvin:Damn lurkers sneakin' around out here.
Alvin:We better get inside.
Luke:You hungry?
Clem says nothing. Everyone goes inside.
Carlos inspects Clementine's wound. Luke paces, and the teenager bites his fingernails.
Carlos:This might hurt a little.
Clem:Ow!
Shawn: Be careful.
Luke:How's she look?
Carlos: Her suturing skills are nicely done, but otherwise, I'd say she should be fine.
Luke: So it wasn't a lurker bite?
Otis: No, man.
Carlos:If it was, the fever would've already set in, and her temperature would be through the roof.
Carlos bandages Clem's arm. The teenager leaves the room, and Luke follows him. Carlos washes his hands in the sink.
Carlos:I wish you wouldn't've done what you did.
Clem:What do you mean?
Carlos:You manipulated my daughter.
Clem:I asked for her help.
Carlos:She's not someone you can just ask for help.
Otis: Why not?
Carlos:I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, but there are a few things you need to know about my daughter.
Clem: Okay.
Carlos:She isn't like you guys.
Carloa:You may not get that initially, but once you're around her for a while, you'll understand.
Carlos:If she knew how bad the world is, what it's really like out there, she would cease to function.
Carlos:She's my little girl.
Carlos:She's all I have left, and I would ask that you stay away from her.
Shawn: We don't plan to stay here for that long.
Clem:I'm sorry, I didn't know.
Carlos:It's okay.
Carlos:You're forgiven.
Carlos:Just don't make any more mistakes.
Otis: Sounds like a challenge.
Carlos leaves, and Luke enters, holding a bowl of food.
Luke: Hey, uh, brought you guys some food if you're hungry.
Clem,Otis,Shawn, and Luke sit at the table, and they start eating.
Luke:That's gonna leave of hell of a scar.
Otis: Better than my scar.
Shawn: You can say that again.
Luke: You have a scar?
Otis: On my stomach.
Clem: Better than losing it.
Luke:You can say that again.
Luke:Scars, they're way cooler than stumps.
Luke notices everyone smiling.
Luke: What?
Clem:Nothing.
Clem:I just had a friend who lost his arm once, that's all.
The teenager enters the room.
???:Hey, look, guys.
???:Um, I just wanted to say I'm sorry for well, for being a dick out there.
???:I got kinda aggro, and that was definitely not cool.
Luke: Nick's been known to go off every once in a while.
Luke:Don't hold it against him.
Nick:Yeah, I guess we all have our moments.
Luke:You definitely had one out there.
Clem:You were just protecting your friends.
Clem:I get it.
Otis: What she said.
Nick:I didn't mean to be so harsh.
Nick:I just we had a bad experience once.
Shawn: We all do.
Luke: Nick lost his mom.
Luke:We took care of someone who'd got bit.
Nick:It was my fault.
Nick: I.
Luke:It was no one's fault.
Luke:We thought we could control it, but we couldn't.
Luke:And then she turned and his mom was standing right there and she got attacked.
Luke:There was nothing we could do about it.
Nick:Anyway.
Nick:Hopefully, you understand.
Clem:I do.
Clem:Yeah.
Nick leaves.
Luke:So, since you guys are pretty much on your own, what's your plan?
Clem: We're thinking about moving on.
Luke:Well, you guys are welcome to stay here if you want.
Luke:You can let clem heal up and take some time to sort things out.
Otis:Do you think everyone else will be okay with it?
Luke:They'll just have to deal with it.
Shawn: We'll stay until clem fully heals.
Luke: Awesome.
Luke: So what happened to your guys parents?
Luke:If you don't mind me asking.
Luke:I mean, I assume what happened to them is what happened to just about everyone's parents.
Shawn: I left my parents in a safe area.
Shawn: They should still be alive.
Otis: Last time I saw my parents, they were in los angeles.
Luke: So long way home.
Otis: It's not my home it was a place I was visiting.
Clem: My parents are dead, these two and other people took care of me.
Clem:This man found me and took care of me.
Clem: His name is lee, he taught us how to survive.
Luke: What happened to him?
Shawn: We don't know.
Otis: We got separated from the others.
Pete enters the room.
Pete:I hate to interrupt, but I'm out there standing watch, and I can't help but notice this place is lit up like a goddamn beacon in the middle of the woods.
Luke:Yeah, it's time to turn in anyway.
Pete:Get your winks while you can, 'cause we're goin' fishing at first light. Pete:A couple fresh brookies for dinner?
Pete:Wouldn't that be nice.
Luke leaves; Pete smiles at Clem,Otis,and Shawn before leaving as well. They continue to eat, and Rebecca enters the room and goes to the sink.
Rebecca:Oh, you guys are still here.
Rebecca:I wouldn't get comfortable if I were you.
Rebecca:Maybe you guys fooled everyone else, but not me.
Clem:Whose baby is it?
Otis:Oh shit.
Rebecca:Excuse me?
Clem:If it's not alvin's, whose is it?
Rebecca: You shut your fucking mouth.
Shawn: It's probably this carver they spoke of.
Rebecca: Stay out of this.
Clem:You should probably think about being nicer to us.
Clem:That's just my advice.
Rebecca:I knew you guys were going to be a fucking problem.
Rebecca leaves.
Clem,Otis,Shawn,and Pete walk through the forest on their way to the river.
Pete:How are you guys holding up?
Pete:I heard you guys got an earful from rebecca last night.
Pete:Once she gets going, there's no bringing her back.
Pete:Her bark's worse than her bite.
Clem:She's all talk.
Otis:She doesn't scare us.
Pete:She was in a mood last night, that's for sure.
Shawn: You can say that again.
Clem:How far are these fish traps?
Pete:It ain't much further.
Pete notices Clem,Otis,and Shawn looking at his rifle.
Pete:Anyone teach you guys how to shoot?
Pete:By that, I mean taught proper. Pete:Any idiot with a finger can shoot.
Otis: Yeah.
Shawn: Yes.
Clem: Yeah.
Clem:But not a rifle!
Pete:Well, that makes sense.
Pete:Less kick.
Pete:This thing would probably knock you on your ass.
Pete: Nick was about your age first time I took him huntin'.
Pete:Came across this beautiful 13-point buck just standin' there on the ridgeline.
Pete:The boy takes the rifle, lines up the shot just like I taught him, then I hear him start whinin'.
Pete He turns to me, and he says, "I can't do it.
Pete: "I can't shoot it, uncle pete.
Pete: "Please don't make me shoot it."
Clem:Really?
Shawn:No way.
Otis:What a baby.
Nick runs up to the other three.
Nick:Hey!
Nick:Why didn't you wait?
Pete:You want us standin' around while you piss on a tree?
Pete:You know where the river is, boy.
The group continues walking.
Pete:Anyway, so I grab the gun out of his hand before this big buck runs off when bang!
Pete:The gun fires.
Pete:Boy, nearly gut shot me.
Pete:And of course, the buck gets away.
Nick:What're you goin' and tellin' them this shit for?
Pete:Cause you almost blew her face off yesterday.
Pete:Seems relevant.
Pete:Tryin' to let them know it's nothin' personal with you.
Nick:Why are you always giving me a hard time?
Pete:Because you're always givin' everyone else a hard time.
Nick:I apologized already.
Nick:They accepted.
Pete:Okay, well, I didn't know that.
Otis:Let's just get to the river.
Nick:You're always trying to embarrass me.
Pete:You're doing a good enough job of that on your own.
Nick walks away.
Pete:Leavin' us again?
Nick:I know where the fucking river is!
Shawn: Someone's angsty today.
Pete:So anyway, I found that buck later that season.
Pete:Shot it right in the neck.
Pete:Brought it up to my sister's, figurin' she'd want to freeze some of the meat.
Pete: Nick didn't speak to me for weeks.
Pete:Sometimes you gotta play a role, even if it means people you love hate you for it.
Clem:He doesn't hate you.
Pete: Nick's father wasn't there much, and he was a piece of shit when he was, so it fell to me to keep him in line.
Pete:Raise him right.
Pete:Meant I couldn't just be nice, uncle pete.
Nick: Uncle pete!
Clem,Otis,Shawn and Pete run to Nick.
Pete: Nick?
Pete:Jesus, mary, and joseph.
The riverbank is covered in dead bodies. Pete approaches one of them and pokes it with his rifle.
Pete:Full'a holes.
Shawn: Do you know any of these people?
Pete: No.
Clem:Who do you think did this?
Pete:Not sure yet.
Pete:But it ain't your average gang'a thugs, that much I know.
Nick:Think about it.
Nick:You're carver, what do you do?
Clem: Who's carver?
Otis: This guy must be really dangerous for you guys to keep naming him.
Pete and Nick exchange a glance.
Pete:Check those guys there.
Pete:Be careful.
Pete:Some of 'em might still be movin'.
Pete,Otis,Shawn,and Nick examine the bodies.
Clem looks at the sandbar.
Clem:There're more out there!
Pete:This wasn't no rinky-dink pissin' match.
Nick:What was it then?
Pete: Fubar.
Nick:Where are you going?!
Nick:We need to get the fuck outta here!
Pete:Gotta check the rest.
Nick:What?!
Nick:Why?!
Pete and Shawn wade across the river.
Pete:Calm down and think about it, son.
Nick:Calm down?!
Nick:We've gotta get out of here, now.
Pete:Jesus christ, get a hold of yourself.
Clem:What if someone's alive, nick?
Nick:Who cares?!
Pete:Cause they might just be inclined to tell us who did this.
Pete:We gotta do this now.
Pete:Stay here.
Pete:Keep searchin' these.
Clem and Otis hop across the rocks in the river to the other side.
Nick:This is a dumb idea.
Pete:You know, nick, I don't like this either, but sooner or later you're gonna have to realize a simple truth.
Nick:What?
Nick:That you're an asshole?
Pete:That nobody in this world is ever gonna give a goddamn whether you like somethin' or not.
Pete:You gotta grow up, son.
Nick:Whatever.
Pete:Come on, clem and otis.
Pete:You guys wanna be useful, keep a lookout on that treeline.
Pete:Whoever did this might still be out there.
Pete:Waitin' for another sucker to stumble across this mess.
Pete:Just like baitin' a fish.
Pete:It's what I'd do.
Otis: Sounds like a plan.
Clem:I'm on it.
Pete:You guys always so agreeable?
Clem:No.
Pete:Good.
Pete:You'll fit right in with this outfit.
Pete:Look, just keep your head on straight.
A nearby walker growls, impaled with a spear and unable to move.
Pete,Clem,Otis,and Shawn walk to it.
Pete:Hm.
Pete:Same deal.
Pete:All shot to pieces.
Pete:Hope this isn't anyone you know.
Clem: No.
Otis: Luckily not.
Shawn: Nope.
Pete: Good.
Pete takes out the spear and stabs the walker in the head.
Pete:Damn it.
Pete:More on that side.
Pete:You check out these ones.
Pete:See if there's anything on 'em that'll tell us who they were.
Shawn: I'll go with you.
Clem and Otis looks at a body on the edge of the river. They notices her backpack nearby him. As she leans down to pick it up, he coughs.
Clem:What happened to you?
Otis: You kind of look familiar.
Clem:You were in the woods with christa,omid,lee,ben,and doug.
Otis:The people we we're with.
Otis:What happened to them?
Clem:Please.
Clem:Tell us.
Clem:Tell us!
???: Please.
The guy motions toward the water bottle.
Clem closes her bag and picks it up.
???: Please.
Pete: Ah!
A walker crawls toward Pete and grabs at his ankles; Pete shoots it in the head.
Shawn: You okay?!
Nick: Pete!
Pete:I'm fine, I'm fine!
Pete:Just lost my footing!
Pete:Damn it.
Pete:Goddamn it!
Pete,Shawn,Otis,and Clem notice the bite on his ankle.
Nick:Shit!
Shawn:Walkers!
Pete:I'm outta ammo!
Nick:Come this way!
Otis:Son of a bitch.
Pete:Damn it, you get your asses over here, all of you!
Nick:I'll cover you guys!
Nick:We gotta get out of here!
Pete:Get over here, goddamn it!
Nick:Can't you listen to me once?!
Nick:Just one time?!
Nick:I've got ammo!
Pete:Listen to me, damn it!
Pete:I see a way out!
Nick:I'll cover you!
Pete:I've got a clear path over here, goddamn it!
Clem runs through the river toward Nick.
Pete: Nick!
Nick: Pete!
Clem dodges a couple of walkers and reaches Nick.
Otis and Shawn runs toward Pete.
Pete:Come on!
Pete:Come on!
A walker attacks Pete and knocks him over. He grabs its wrists and tries to keep it away.
Pete:Jesus!
Pete:Fuck!
Shawn grabs a plank from a nearby pallet and hits the walker's arm, breaking it off. Pete kicks it backward and hits it with his rifle. Nick yells and hits a walker with his rifle. Pete limps toward him.
Pete: Nick and clem, hold on!
Pete: Nick!
Nick and Clem run away.
Pete:Goddamn it!
Pete:Nick!
Otis:We have to go!
They run away as walkers follow them.
