PRISON

Ian: It's the only way. No else knows?

Rick and Ian are in the courtyard while Brian and Daryl stands ahead of them

Daryl: You gonna tell em?

Rick: Not till after. We have to do it today. It has to be quiet. He wanted Viv but hopefully this will do.

Brian: You got a plan?

Rick and Ian exchanges a look

Ian: We tell her we need to talk. Away from the others.

Brian and Daryl also exchanges a look

Daryl: This ain't us, man.

Hershel: No it isn't.

He limps away on his crutches.

Rick: We do this, we avoid a fight and Viv's safe.

Ian: No one else dies.

Brian sighs as he slowly nods his head.

Brian: All right.

Rick: We need someone else.

Daryl and Brian glances at each other

Brian: I'll talk to him.

Rick: I'll do it.

Ian: I'll go with you

Rick: No. Just me.

Ian, Daryl, and Brian watches Rick walk away.

LATER

Grady backs up the truck as Daryl opens the back and pulls out a barb wire board throwing it on the ground then leaps up in the truck bed. Vivian and Michonne swings their weapons around slicing though walkers down in the yard.

Daryl: Come on, let's go!

Glenn and Daryl are in the back while Vivian and Michonne climbs into the truck and Grady drives up the path into the main courtyard.

Glenn: They try to drive up to the gate again, maybe some blown tires will stop them.

Rick: It was a good idea.

Vivian: It was Michonne's actually.

Michonne: We don't have to win. We just have to make their getting at us more trouble then it's worth.

Grady: I'll drink to that but wait.....we don't have any liquor.

Rick and Michonne stare at each other for a long moment. Ian, Maggie, Carl, and Lyla walks though the fence and up to them.

Brian and Daryl nods their heads at Rick

Rick: Let's go.

The entire group walks though the courtyard.

Later Grady is struggling to push one of the iron bars closed, Brian approaches him

Brian: Hey you seen Merle around?

Grady snorts, rolling his eyes

Brian slides off his crossbow and places it on the ground, walking forward and grabs one side of the bars helping Grady lift it up.

Brian: He say sorry to Glenny?

Grady wraps a pair of chains though the bars and links it together.

Brian: Cause he is

Grady leans down grabbing the box of tools and walks away. Brian sighs, hands on his hips.

Brian: He's going to make it right.
