Clem watches a moth on a tree.
Clem reaches out to touch the moth, but it flies away.
???:You about done over there?
Sarah:Yeah, one second!
Sarah:Thanks for coming with me.
Sarah:It's scary out here.
Sarah:I know they made you.
Sarah:It's still nice that you came.
Clem:Yeah, you're welcome, I think.
Clem and Sarah return to the truck.
???:Everything come out alright, girls?
Carver: Troy.
Carver:Get 'em tied up.
Troy: Will do.
Carver takes out his radio and turns it on.
Carver:Well, we're on our way, probably thirty minutes out.
Carver:Make sure everyone's prepped.
Carver:Emotions might be running high.
Carver: Carver out.
Troy grabs Sarah's hand to tie her up.
Carver:If I find out you've been wasting fuel to keep that fuckin' heater going, I'll make you walk back.
Troy: Nope.
Troy:Froze my ass off just like you told me to.
Carver looks at Clem who is staring at him.
Carver:It ain't polite to listen to other folks' conversations.
Carver:Has anyone ever taught you that?
Clem doesn’t reply and stares back at Carver.
Carver slaps Clem.
Sarah: No, stop!
Carver:Tie her up and throw her in with the rest of 'em.
Bonnie offers her hand to Clem and helps her up.
Troy ties Clem's hands and opens the back of the truck.
Troy: In.
Sarah and Clem enter the truck, where the rest of the group is. Carlos' broken fingers have been put in a splint.
Sarita:Are you guys okay?
Kenny:The hell did he do to you?
Lee:Hey, did he hurt you?
Kenny:Hey.
Lee:Hey!
Troy closes the door.
The group rides in silence for a while.
Kenny:Alright, we gotta do something. Kenny: Come on.
Kenny:Anyone got anything sharp? Kenny:Anything?
Otis:If we did, one of us would've said something already.
Rebecca:And what good is that gonna do?
Kenny:The hell is wrong with you people?
Kenny:We gotta get out of here.
Lee: No shit but it's not the right time.
Kenny:What, I thought you would be on my side?!
Ben:I agree with kenny.
Ben:We should get out of here.
Kenny:Thank you.
Kenny:We're in a fuckin' precarious position here.
Kenny:We gotta do something about that!
Carlos:Settle down, kenny.
Carlos:They took everything.
Carlos:We have to keep a level head.
Rebecca: He's right.
Rebecca:You don't know bill like we do.
Doug: Bill?
Kenny:This whole time it's carver, carver,carver, now he's fuckin' bill?! Kenny:Oh, I see what it is.
Kenny:Y'all are just gettin' a ride home, aren't ya?
Kennny:That's what's goin' on here.
Nick:Say that again.
Kenny:I'd stay out of this, boy.
Nick:Mister, I ain't a boy!
Kenny: No, right.
Kenny: You're a man.
Shawn:Calm down and think.
Rebecca: He doesn't understand.
Rebecca: Carver's different.
Rebecca: He's worse.
Clem: You could've warned us!
Kenny:Yeah, you didn't tell us he was a fuckin' psychopath!
Carlos:You have no idea what you're dealing with!
Kenny:Oh, he gave me a pretty good goddamn idea back at the lodge, and I don't intend to sit around here and let that happen to the rest of us!
Kenny:I'm tryin' to help!
Carlos:I'm sure walter really appreciated your help!
Ben:That's not fair!
Sarita:You're blaming him for the actions of a madman!
Carlos:I am pointing out that, regardless of intent, there are consequences to rash actions! Carlos:Something that he seems to be misreading as capitulation!
Kenny:I don't know what the fuck you're saying, but I know it's bullshit! Kenny:We have to do something!
Sarita: Kenny.
Rebecca:You can't reason with him.
Kenny notices the broken piece of pipe.
Kenny: Oh, shit.
Kenny: Jackpot!
Kenny gets up.
Carlos: Sit down.
Carlos:You're going to get us all killed!
Kenny uses the jagged edges of the broken pipe to start cutting through his ties.
Kenny:Y'all don't know what you're talking about!
Kenny:We get cooped up in some kennel like a buncha fuckin' dogs, it's over!
Rebecca:You don't know that.
Clem: Kenny's right.
Clem:We have to do something.
Clem:We can't just sit here.
Kenny:How is clem and ben the only ones that sees what's goin' on here?
Carlos: Clem, the adults are talking!
Carlos: And ben stay out of this!
Clem:Is that what this is?
Kenny successfully cuts his ties. Kenny:Alright, now we're talkin'.
Carlos: Carver will be on the other side of that door with ten people.
Sarah starts sobbing.
Rebecca:There, there, baby.
Lee: It's okay.
Rebecca:Everything's gonna be fine.
Carlos:At this point, maybe luke is the only hope we have.
Doug: Not even, maybe.
Kenny:If he was gonna do something, he'd've done it by now.
Rebecca:Who knows what he's dealing with.
Shawn:Anything can happen out there.
Kenny:I'll tell you what happened: he abandoned us.
Nick:You don't know that.
Kenny: I know he ain't here.
Rebecca:He may not be around, but he wouldn't just leave us behind.
Kenny: That guy is a flake.
Kenny:I could tell the second I set eyes on him.
Clem: Kenny's probably right.
Clem:He would've helped us by now if he was going to.
Rebecca:You don't know what he's been going through since we left the lodge.
Rebecca: None of us do.
Carlos:We don't even know if he's still alive.
Otis:Or that he knows where we went.
Kenny: Right.
Kenny:All we do know is that he ain't helped us.
The truck shakes as it drives over uneven ground.
Carlos:We're close.
Kenny: Okay.
Kenny:Let's do this.
Rebecca:They have guns.
Rebecca:What exactly do you expect to do?
Kenny:I'm gonna punch the first son of a bitch I see.
Kenny:Then I'm gonna take his gun and use it to shoot the next son of a bitch I see.
Carlos: Just sit down!
Kenny: Shut up, doc!
Kenny:This ain't your call!
Kenny:Hey, just if something happens, just help out, okay?
Kenny:Don't, you know, get yourself hurt or nothin', but any help'd be good.
Kenny: Hey.
Kenny: Clem and ben.
Kenny:Look at me.
Kenny:You trust me, right?
The truck starts beeping.
Sarita: Kenny, please, just listen to them.
Sarita:They know him what he's capable of.
Clem:Yeah, okay, I trust you.
Ben:We'll do what we can.
Kenny: Alright.
Kenny:It's okay to be a little scared. Kenny:But we gotta do this.
Kenny: Alright.
Kenny:Everybody, re.
The truck shakes. Kenny hits his head against the door and falls down.
Sarita: Kenny!
Sarita: Kenny, are you okay?
Rebecca:Is he okay?
Sarita:I think so.
Kenny:Oh, what hit me?
Carlos:It's probably for the best.
Troy:Goddamn brakes ain't workin' for shit!
A woman, Bonnie, and Troy open the door.
???:Alright, up and at 'em.
Everyone stands up and steps outside.
Troy: The fuck?!
Troy:How'd you get your restraints off?!
Troy:Come here!
Troy closes the door.
Bonnie, a woman, and Troy escorts Clem's group through Carver's camp.
Carver over the PA system.
Carver:We've got some familiar faces back with us tonight.
Carver:Now, I understand some of you are confused as to why we'd bring these people back when they left us as they did.
???:I think I've got an idea.
Carver:It might not come all at once, but time will heal these wounds.
Carver:So be patient with them until it does and take solace in knowing that they're here to help us make our home a better place.
Carver:All these feelings you have of anger, betrayal, hate.
Carver:They're all valid.
Carver:No one needs to forget what they did, but we do have to find it in our hearts to forgive them.
Clem: Look how much food they have.
Kenny:I hope you ain't saying what I think you're saying.
Carver:As many of you already know, a large herd of lurkers gathers just south of us.
Carver:We've kept an eye on the movements, and, well, with any luck, it's just passing through.
Carver:But rest assured that if it does turn our way, it's nothing we can't handle.
Troy:Come on, we need you for something.
Carlos:Can it wait until morning? Carlos:We're all exhausted.
Troy:Just come the fuck on.
Sarah: I need him.
Sarah: I need my dad.
Sarah: I can't.
Sarah: He looks after me.
A woman leads Carlos away from the group.
Carver:Some of you have voiced your concerns about the need for expansion with the looming threat. Carver:And they have been taken into consideration.
Lee:Don't worry, you'll see him again.
Sarah: When?
Lee: I don't know.
Lee:But he will come back.
Sarah: Thanks, lee.
Carver:And with the added manpower joining us this evening, I have no doubt that we will continue to grow and prosper.
Bonnie unlocks a door.
Bonnie:Make sure y'all stay off the fence.
Bonnie: Bill can see if you're messin' with it.
Carver:It's no longer enough just to survive, it's our obligation to make this community a beacon of hope.
Bonnie opens the door.
Nick: Thanks, bonnie.
Bonnie: Yup.
Carver:To provide a light a bright light.
Carver:Bright enough to shine in all this darkness.
Carver:So that is what we'll do.
Troy and Bonnie take off the ropes around everyone's wrists.
Bonnie:You can lower the gun now, tavia.
Tavia lowers the gun, and Lee puts his hand down.
Troy:Y'all best get some rest, 'cause there ain't gonna be much for you tomorrow.
Troy:You're gonna be workin' hard.
Bonnie:That's for you.
Rebecca looks at a cot in the corner.
Rebecca:Yeah, it would be.
Rebecca: Fuckin' bill.
Rebecca:Keeps me out in the cold, but at least I'll be comfortable.
???:Hey, guys.
Everyone turns around to see a one arm man.
Rebecca: Reggie?
Rebecca hugs him.
Rebecca:I'm so sorry.
Rebecca:I'm so sorry.
Rebecca:What did they do to you?
Reggie:This could've been worse, trust me.
Reggie:I'm lucky to be alive.
Nick:It's my fault.
Reggie:No, it's really not.
Reggie:I would tell you if it was.
Reggie:This happened well after you guys left.
Reggie:I guess I should say it's nice to see you, but obviously, it's also a bummer.
Rebecca: I know.
Rebecca:I feel the same way.
Sarah: Reggie helped us.
Sarah:When we ran away.
Otis: I gathered that much.
Clem:What happened to his arm?
Sarah: I don't know.
Sarah:We were all running out together.
Sarah:But then he fell and everybody kept running.
Shawn:Why didn't he just get back up?
Sarah: I don't know.
Sarah:But I know he had both his arms then.
Reggie:They got me working outside. Reggie:Lurker snuck up on me while I was hammering something.
Reggie:Luckily, they took the arm off quick.
Reggie:Saved my life.
Doug:That's rough, buddy.
Rebecca:I'm so sorry.
Reggie:Look, it was my choice to help you guys.
Tavia: Alvin.
Tavia: Carver wants you in his office.
Alvin: What?
Alvin: Why?
Tavia:Don't make this difficult.
Tavia:It's too late for that.
Rebecca: No!
Rebecca: Please!
Alvin:It's okay, bec.
Alvin:Just get some rest.
Alvin:If he wanted to do somethin' to me, he'd have done it already.
Alvin:I'll be fine.
Alvin:Let's see what he wants.
Alvin and Tavia leave.
Troy: Hey!
Troy: Reggie!
Reggie:Oh, hey, troy.
Troy:Don't go fuckin' up now.
Troy: Bill's real close to lettin' you outta here.
Troy:You make sure things stay nice and quiet out here tonight, and I'll be sure to let bill know just how helpful you were.
Reggie:Yeah, you can count on me. Reggie:Thanks, troy.
Troy:Don't mention it.
Troy and Bonnie leave, closing the door behind them.
Rebecca: Oh, right.
Rebecca:Let me introduce you.
Rebecca:We were with them when we got caught.
Reggie: Hey, I'm reggie.
Rebecca:That's sarita.
Sarita: Hello.
Rebecca:That's kenny.
Kenny: Heya.
Rebecca:That's doug.
Doug: Hey.
Rebecca:That's ben.
Ben: Hello.
Rebecca:That's shawn.
Shawn: Sup.
Rebecca:That's lee.
Lee: Hi.
Reggie: You too?
Lee: Yeah.
Reggie walks to Clem and Otis.
Reggie: Hello!
Reggie:Who are you guys?
Otis:My name's otis.
Reggie:It's very nice to meet you, otis.
Reggie shakes Otis's hand.
Clem: My name's clementine.
Reggie:It's very nice to meet you,too, clementine.
Reggie shakes Clem's hand.
Reggie:Hey, where's carlos?
Rebecca: Bill's already got him lookin' at some folks.
Reggie: Oh, okay.
Reggie: Good.
Reggie:What about pete?
The group looks sad.
???:Can you guys save it for the morning?
???:Some of us gotta be up early.
Clem: Who's that?
Sarah: I don't know.
Rebecca:I don't recognize the voice.
Reggie: No problem.
Reggie:Sorry about that.
The guy puts his pillow over his head and turns around.
Reggie: Okay, that's mike.
Reggie:He's kind of a dick when he's tired, but like I said, he saved my life, so I put up with that shit.
Reggie: Bill put him to work outside the wall with me.
Otis: That's crazy.
Rebecca:I'm so sorry.
Reggie:Stop with all the sorry.
Reggie:It was my choice.
Reggie:Besides, he said once you were all caught, he'd let me rejoin the group, so I'm glad you're here.
Reggie:I'm just joking.
Rebecca: I know.
Reggie:I mean, he did say that, but I'm not happy about it.
Reggie:It's probably bullshit.
Clem notices a woman sitting at a picnic table and watching them.
Clem:She's watching us.
Reggie: Hmm?
Reggie:What's that?
Clem:The woman over there is watching us.
Shawn:Does everyone in this place hate you or us?
The woman gets up and walks away.
Reggie:I don't know, but I do know she's fuckin' weird.
Reggie:They found her sneaking around outside the camp covered in guts and just, like, the grossest shit.
Shawn:You can camouflage yourself?
Otis:That would have been useful to get past walkers.
Lee: Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you guys.
Ben:Tell us what?
Doug:That walker guts make walkers not to attack you.
Otis:And you've been sitting on that shit for how long?
Clem: For a long time.
Otis:We'll talk about this later.
Rebecca: It's probably best not to stare.
Reggie:I know how it must look, but it's really not that bad here.
Rebecca: Reggie.
Reggie: No, I'm serious.
Reggie:Where else are you going to find food like we have?
Reggie:We've got the canned stuff, and now, with the greenhouses coming along, we've got fresh food. Reggie:The building's getting more and more secure all the time, mostly through forced labor, but that's only temporary.
Reggie:They've even got the solar panels working.
Reggie:When was the last time you had electricity, huh?
Sarah:Well, we just came from a lodge with a wind turbine and.
Reggie:It's not a competition.
Reggie:I'm just saying, it's not as bad as you think.
Reggie:We're building something great here, guys.
Reggie: A real community.
Reggie: Bill is making it happen.
Reggie:Look, I've made mistakes, and he's forgiven me.
Rebecca:That doesn't make up for what he's done, reggie.
Reggie:I know that, but I'm starting to see what this place offers.
Reggie:I didn't before, and with the accident, it's just that much more important now.
Clem: Carver killed my friend walter.
Reggie:Okay, I don't know what happened, but maybe he had his reasons.
Kenny:His reason is he's a crazy piece of shit.
Reggie:Listen, I'm really close to getting let back into the group.
Reggie:Once that happens, I can do a lot more to help you guys be more comfortable.
Kenny: Comfortable?
Doug:What do you think this is?
Reggie:I just don't want you to mess things up for me.
Reggie:I've worked really hard to get to this point.
Reggie:Will you please just try not to cause any trouble?
Reggie:At least until they release me. Reggie:Then, once I'm out, I could help you more.
Reggie:Maybe even help get you out.
Otis: Hell no.
Clem: No way.
Kenny:Fuckin' a, no way.
Shawn:Think again.
Doug:You're crazy for thinking that.
Ben:How about, no.
Lee: Respectfully, no.
Reggie:We can at least talk about it more in the morning.
Reggie:Just have a quiet night and chat again tomorrow.
Rebecca:I can't believe what I'm hearing.
Reggie:Look, the fact is, bill had every reason to kill me when I helped you guys, but he didn't.
Reggie:Obviously, I don't know what happened while you all were gone, but he's given me a second chance, and I know he'd do the same for you.
Rebecca: Reggie, I don't want a second chance.
Rebecca:I want to leave with my family.
Rebecca:That's it.
Reggie:Your family is safer here.
Rebecca inhales sharply and grabs her stomach.
Rebecca:I need to sit down.
Sarita:Yeah, come on.
Sarita: Sarah?
Sarita:Can you go see if there's something for her to drink?
Sarah: Okay.
Reggie:Yeah, there's water over by the benches.
Sarah,Rebecca,Sarita,and Nick walk away.
Reggie:That didn't go as planned. Reggie:should've actually made a plan.
Reggie leaves. Rebecca sits down on one of the lawn chairs around the fireplace.
Kenny:Man, fuck that guy.
Kenny:I don't think we can trust him. Kenny:I mean, clearly, he's already drank too much of the kool-aid.
Otis: Clearly.
Clem:I don't trust him, either.
Doug:He acts strange.
Kenny: Yeah.
Kenny:Guess gettin' part of your body chopped off can do that to a fella.
Lee:What are you suggesting?
Kenny:Oh, sorry, pal.
Ben:I'm sure he's just talking about reggie.
Shawn:Don't worry, lee.
Shawn:You're not like that.
Kenny:Yeah, sorry.
Lee:It's okay.
Kenny: Anyways.
Kenny: Y'all gotta take a look around. Kenny:We gotta know if there's anything we can exploit to get out of here.
Kenny:We're in a tight spot.
Kenny:Gonna have to wriggle our way out.
Everyone but Kenny: Okay.
Kenny:That troy asshole's gone for now.
Kenny:This is our chance.
Kenny:Don't worry about reggie.
Kenny:I'll go help run interference on him.
Clem walks over to the beds and look at it.
Clem:Guess it's better than the ground.
Nick: It's not.
Clem walks over the locked door.
Clem tries and fails to open the door.
Reggie: Hey!
Reggie: Clem.
Reggie: Come on.
Reggie: Don't be like that.
Kenny:She ain't doin' nothin' wrong, reggie.
Kenny: Just relax.
Reggie:How can I relax when your friends are walking around touching everything?
Clem walks over to Nick.
Nick: Hey, clem.
Clem: Nick.
Nick:Just thinking about luke.
Nick: Just there's no way he's gone. Nick: That he left.
Nick: How about it?
Nick:Cause me, I known him for damn near twenty years now and I can't buy it.
Nick:Course, I can't say the thought never crossed my mind.
Nick:Things change.
Nick:The whole damn world changed.
Clem:I think you're right.
Clem:He'd never leave you guys behind.
Nick:Us guys, you mean.
Clem: Yeah.
Clem:Us guys.
Nick:Guess I oughta try and get some sleep.
Nick:You should, too.
Nick:They're gonna ride our asses tomorrow, for sure.
Clem: Okay.
Nick:'Night.
Clem walks away from Nick and walks over to Rebecca.
Rebecca:I didn't treat him very well these last few weeks, things got so complicated so fast.
Rebecca:It became all about getting through each day.
Rebecca:I'm trying real hard to remember the last time I told him that I loved him.
Clem:I'm sure he knows in his heart, I'm sure he knows.
Rebecca:I hope that's true.
Clem:You'll be able to tell him real soon.
Rebecca:I hope that's true.
Rebecca:Alright, get going.
Rebecca:I'll be fine.
Rebecca:I appreciate you checking up on me.
Clem walks away from Rebecca and walks over to Kenny.
Kenny:Well, out with it.
Kenny:D'you see any way outta here?
Clem: Not really.
Kenny:Damn, I was hoping you'd catch something these old eyes missed they're gettin' more and more useless.
Otis: Kenny.
Otis walks over to Kenny and Clem.
Kenny:Did you find a way out?
Otis:Not really.
Kenny:Damn.
Doug walks over to Kenny,Clem,and Otis.
Kenny:Did you find a way out?
Doug:Maybe.
Kenny:Really, where?
Doug:Through the fence,if we have the right tools.
Kenny:Oh, so you're planning to steal from them.
Doug:Unless you got a better plan?
Lee walks over to Kenny,Clem,Otis, and Doug.
Lee:I think I do.
Kenny:What do you got, pal?
Lee:The roof.
Shawn and Ben walk over to Kenny,Clem,Otis,Doug,and Lee.
Lee:If we can get up there, we can look for something soft so we can land without breaking something.
Ben:But first, we need to get on the roof.
Shawn:And we need to do it at the right time.
Troy and Carlos enter.
Sarah: Dad!
Sarah hugs Carlos.
Troy:Alright, go the fuck to sleep!
Troy:I'm shootin' the first one of y'all I see up wanderin' around before sun-up.
Rebecca: Troy!
Rebecca:Where's alvin?
Troy:Everybody get to bed!
Troy closes the door again.
Everyone gets into one of the cots.
Kenny:Some of these folks ain't too keen on leavin' it's up to us to figure out a way outta here.
Kenny:You up for it?
Kenny:It's your decision.
Clem: I'm ready.
Clem:Of course I am.
Kenny: Good, good.
Kenny:Confidence is good.
Kenny:You gotta have the right attitude.
Kenny:Now, get some sleep.
Kenny:We'll need it.
Clem falls asleep. In the morning, Troy kicks her to wake her up.
Clem: What?
Troy: Get up.
Troy: Bill's gonna have a word.
Clem gets up and joins the rest of the group. The door opens, and Carver enters. A woman walks across the roof.
Carver:There's been increased walker activity along the fence, so be mindful when outside the walls.
Carver:The herd's moved a little closer as of this morning, but that still doesn't necessarily mean we'll be hit. Carver:Know we're monitoring the situation.
Carver:There are some folks might be sore about what happened at how things went.
Carver:Well, that's all in the past now. Carver:Some of you are new to our community.
Carver:Some of you are members who went astray.
Carver:But know that you can find redemption here and forgiveness by proving your worth through what will undoubtedly be hard work.
Carver: Reggie, you're nearly back in. Carver:Keep following the path, and we'll welcome you back with open arms.
Sarah:How'd you sleep?
Carver glares at Sarah.
Carver:I'll let reggie be an example to you all.
Carver:Salvation is available, but it must be earned.
Sarah:I was so tired.
Sarah:I didn't even realize it.
Clem: Shut up.
Sarah:Well, you don't have to be rude about it.
Carver:Kenneth will be taking over reggie's duties outside the wall. Carver:Michael will continue on showing his value.
Sarah:I just thought it was nice to finally.
Carver: Carlos!
Carlos: Yes?
Carver:Your child seems to be in need of correction.
Carlos:I'm sorry, I.
Carlos: Sarah, apologize to mr. carver.
Sarah:I'm sorry, sir.
Carver: No, no.
Carver:That ain't gonna cut it.
Carver:I can't have this kind of behavior on day one of your reform. Carver:You discipline her now, carlos.
Carlos:How do you propose that I.
Carver:One good smack across the mouth should do it.
Carver:It'll make her think twice before opening it up again.
Carver:Go on, we'll wait.
Carlos:I'm not sure with my hand that I could.
Carver:Well, that's why you got two hands, Carlos.
Carver:Come on.
Carver:And not some namby-pamby thing, alright?
Carver:A good hard smack.
Carver:Otherwise, troy here will do it for ya.
Carver:I don't think you want that.
Carver:He can be overzealous.
Carver:Is that the word?
Troy:If it means I'll slap the shit out of her, then, yeah.
Clem says nothing.
Sarah:I'm sorry, dad.
Sarah:I'm sorry.
Carlos:Close your eyes, honey.
Carlos:It's only going to sting for a second.
Carlos hesitates.
Carver: Do it.
Carlos smacks Sarah hard, and she falls to the floor, sobbing.
Carlos:I'm sorry, sarah.
Carver: Stop!
Carver:You're not coddling that girl anymore.
Carver:Let her sit there and think about what she's done.
Carver: Troy, get carlos to his post. Carver:Everyone else should have their assignments.
Carver:It's time to get to work.
Troy:Goddamn, you really knocked the shit out of her, doc.
Carver:Everyone get to work!
Tavia:You're working in the armory. Tavia:Follow me.
???:Soil coming up!
Clem and Otis follows Tavia but stops when several bags of soil fall from the roof.
???:Goddamn this thing.
???:Oh, shit.
Tavia: Clementine and otis!
Clementine and Otis walk through the store.
???:Who are they?
???:They're one of the new people.
???:They're with carlos and sarah, and.
???: Sarah?
???:I wish she'd stayed gone.
???:She's had a hard time, becca.
Becca: So have we.
Becca:We're not sitting on the ground like babies.
Tavia opens the armory door.
Tavia:Go on inside.
Tavia: Bonnie's waiting.
Clem and Otis enters, and Tavia leaves, closing the door behind her.
Bonnie:Hey, I guess you guys are startin' your day with me.
Bonnie motions for Clem and Otis to have a seat, and they do so.
Bonnie:We're loadin' magazines.
Clem and Otis pick up a magazine and fill it with bullets.
Bonnie:That's it, you guys got it.
They continue working.
Bonnie:I suppose I owe you guys an apology.
Bonnie:I wasn't truthful when I came across y'all at the lodge, and I was shown a kindness I never would've expected from a group of strangers.
Bonnie:But now folks are dead, and I can't help but feel I'm to blame.
Otis:That's because it was your fault. Otis:You lead them to us.
Bonnie:If I could change it, I would.
Bonnie:I promise you guys.
Clem:And we should believe you now?
Clem:All we know about you is that you're a liar.
Bonnie:I understand you're mad at me, and you've got every right to be, but I wanted you to know I regret my part in all this.
They continue working.
Bonnie:How was your first night in the yard?
Bonnie:I know it ain't so comfortable, but it's safe.
Bonnie:Which is more than I can say about a lot of places out there.
Clem:You mean my first night in prison?
Bonnie:It ain't a prison.
Bonnie:More of a work release.
Otis:Didn't they do those in prisons?
Bonnie: I, probably.
Bonnie:I don't know, I've never been to prison.
Bonnie:Don't tell no one.
Bonnie:Tryin' to keep a tough reputation.
Otis:For who?
Bonnie:I was supposed to go when luke and carlos and all them left.
Bonnie:I was plannin' on leavin' too. Bonnie:When luke approached me about it, I thought he was crazy.
Bonnie:I mean, we're safe here.
Bonnie:We got power.
Clem:But you attacked them instead?
Bonnie:Hey, I didn't attack anyone. Bonnie: Bill did all that.
Bonnie:I didn't want, I wasn't expectin' any of that to happen.
Bonnie:I just wanted everyone to be safe.
Bonnie:Out there ain't exactly all flowers an' rainbows.
Otis:In here isn't either.
Bonnie:I justified not goin' by tellin' myself it's easier to try an' change somethin' that's broken than start all over.
Bonnie:Take this situation with the herd that's the type of thing that rips a community apart.
Clem:Herds have come through before?
Bonnie: Yeah.
Bonnie:It's happened a few times. Bonnie:We've always come out on the other end, alright.
Bonnie:It's something I think about whenever I consider leaving.
Bonnie:I mean, it ain't easy keepin' a group this big fed and protected.
Bonnie:I don't envy that position. Bonnie:Figure that'd make anyone a little stressed.
Bonnie:I'm not defendin' what he did. Bonnie:That was.
Bonnie:I'm alive because of him. Bonnie:That's just a fact.
Bonnie:And there's somethin' to that.
Clem:He killed walter!
Bonnie:Only to protect his own people.
Bonnie: Kenny could've killed us all.
Otis: But he didn't.
Bonnie: Bill overreacted.
Bonnie:He was in the heat of the moment, and he overreacted.
Bonnie: Luke had ideas about how things should go, but they didn't line up with what bill was thinkin' they butted heads, then rebecca started showin', and that only made things worse.
Bonnie:Maybe luke was right about him.
Bonnie:I wish he was around, but I just hope he's safe.
The radio on the table crackles.
Tavia speaks over the radio.
Tavia:Hey, bonnie, is the kids down there?
Tavia:I need to come get them.
Bonnie picks up the radio.
Bonnie speaks over the radio.
Bonnie:Yeah, they're here.
Tavia:Okay, I'll be right over.
Bonnie:I'm sure it's fine.
Bonnie:Oh, almost forgot.
Bonnie:I grabbed this for ya guys.
Bonnie gets up and retrieves a puffy blue jacket and a black jacket, which she then hands to Clem and Otis. Clem puts on the puffy blue jacket and Otis puts on the black jacket.
Bonnie: Huh?
Bonnie:What do you guys think?
Bonnie:I found them at the lodge y'all were at.
Bonnie:Think it might be for winter. Bonnie:Had to wait for no one around to be around to get it to you guys.
Clem:It's kinda ugly.
Bonnie: Really?
Bonnie:I thought it was kinda cute. Bonnie:Well, this ain't a fashion show. Bonnie:It'll keep you warm.
Bonnie:You too, otis.
Bonnie:You guys better watch yourself.
Bonnie:I think some folks might be jealous of those cool jackets of yours.
Tavia enters.
Tavia:Oh, there you are.
Tavia:What's with clem's ugly jacket?
Bonnie: Tavia.
Tavia: What?
Bonnie:Never mind.
Bonnie:I'll see you guys later, clementine and otis.
Tavia:Come on.
