Rick raises the walkie to his lips

Rick: North, West, South, report.

The brothers looks towards the Sanctuary in shock and horror as they exchanges a worried filled look with each other.

FLASHBACK

Carl is walking down the road

Vivian: Hey. Hey

Vivian runs up towards him

Vivian: What does that mean?

Carl: What I said. You hope that guy makes it. That's not enough

The siblings walking beside each other down the road.

Carl: If you give a shit----

Vivian: Carl.

Carl: If you care, you do something. You don't just hope. It takes more then that. That's what I meant.

Vivian sighs, sadly nodding her head.

Carl: There's gonna be something after the fight's over.

Vivian: Not for everyone.

In present time, an angry Ian is marching between a pair of buildings clutching a machine gun against his chest with Rick and the JK people behind him

Carl: Okay, yeah, but-----what about you? Dad? Uncle Ian?

PRESENT

Rick and Ian raises up their machine guns while Jadis holds up her hand. The truck is lodged in the side of the building.

Jadis: Different from picture.

Machine gun fire echos out making them duck and run for cover. Ian runs behind a slab of concrete.

Ian: Rick! Jadis! It's coming from the window! We hit it and fall.....back!

They look up seeing the JK people running away while Carol drives up in an SUV. Rick and Ian leaps out of their cover and jumps into the back seats.

Rick: GO!

Ian: GO! GO!

The SUV begins backing up down the street

Rick: They got out. It hasn't been long.

Ian: We have to warn everyone. They're gonna hit back

Carl: We can get the cars near the east lookout and spilt up.

Jerry: Might have to find other rides. The snipers probably used their to get away.

Rick: I don't think they got away.

Ian leans his head back against the headrest and sighs

FLASHBACK

Carl and Vivian are walking down the road, burned out cars behind them

Carl: You're gonna live, Viv.

Vivian looks at him in confusion.

Carl: Why are we doing this? Why are we fighting them? So it isn't like how they want it, with everyone working for them, everyone living for them? We're fighting so it's all of us working together for something more then just killing other people.

Vivian: Well you think we're gonna be out there, picking strawberries with Negan?

Carl: If that's what it takes. I love Jenna, Viv. I don't want this life for her. It's more then just hope. Are we just gonna kill all of them?

Vivian doesn't say anything as she lowers her head down

Carl: Finding some way forward, that's harder. That's something more.
