ALEXANDRIA-NIGHT

Nicholas is being recorded in Deanna's living room

Nicholas: Aiden was trying to save us from a roamer shooting at it. Then Vivian distracted him.

Vivian: I saw the grenades.

Vivian is sitting on a porch, hands on her knees.

Vivian: I tried to stop him.

Nicholas: They wanted to just go. I didn't.

Vivian: He was gonna run.

Nicholas: I wasn't gonna leave him.

Deanna: What about Tara?

Nicholas: I wasn't gonna leave her. Her own friends were going to leave her.

Vivian: But we made him stay. Couldn't get Aiden out of there without help.

Nicholas: Then when we got to the lobby.......

Vivian: All he had to do was hold the door.

Nicholas: She was hitting on the glass, pushing my door open. She knew how much this placed needed me. She was going to kill me.

Vivian: But he panicked.

Nicholas: Or she was trying to or she just didn't care. She's a psycho.

Vivian: Noah, I had him. I had his hand.

Nicholas: And if I didn't push back, I'd be dead too.

Vivian: I tried.

Nicholas: She's a psychopath! We need to lock her up!

Vivian: I watched him die.

Ian, Brian, and Rick are standing in front of her staring at her sadly.

Nicholas: She did this. It was her.

Deanna: But you all came back together. How did that happen?

Nicholas: Because I knew this place would fall apart without me. You need me. I'm the hero Alexandria deserves.

Deanna: No guns, no going outside the walls

Nicholas rolls his eyes

Deanna: Same goes for Vivian until I finished looking into this.

Nicholas: What do you need to look into? I'm telling you how it went down, you fucking bitch!

Spencer: HEY!! DON'T TALK TO MY MOM LIKE THAT!!

Nicholas: She has to go! SHE HAS TO GO!!! She is not one of us! If you won't do anything about her, I'll take care of her myself!

Vivian: I almost left him out there. Could have told a story.

Rick sends her a look

Vivian: You think I should have?

Ian: They don't know what they're doing. Any of them

Vivian: We'll show them.

Rick: I don't know if they can see it. How things really are. I don't know if they can yet. They haven't caught up.

Vivian: We have to be here, Dad. We have to

Brian: Yeah we do.

Rick: But their rules, we don't answer to them.

Vivian: We are them, Dad. We are them. Noah, he believed in this place. I'm telling you, we gotta make this work.

Rick nods his head, kissing his daughter on the forehead as he and Ian stands up and walks away. Brian pats her on the shoulder, smiling then walks away.
