Vivian: Hey sweetheart

Ian walks over and smiles down at his niece, kissing her softly on the top of the head.

Ian: Hey sweetie.

Rosita curls her lips up into a happy smile. Brian and Daryl nods their heads.

LATER

Ian is kneeling down beside the graves when Daryl and Brian walks up behind them.

Daryl: You know, we......I look around and......I think about the people that are gone......and the people that are still here. It ain't right

Brian: It ain't fair.

Daryl: Look, about......what we did at Sanctuary, trying to end it real quick. We just wanted it done.

Brian: We didn't want to give them another chance. Not again. I didn't care what who was there. I don't know if that makes it right or----

Ian: It does. Me or Rick didn't want to risk killing innocent people

He slowly stands up to his feet.

Ian: We should've just been worrying about our people. Hell with anyone else.

Daryl: We'll keep fighting----until you're ready.

Ian: I'm ready. Maggie's got lookouts out there.

Brian: Every half mile, waiting to signal each other, we know.

Ian: I'm going too and we all know Rick's going too. To make sure we're all ready.

Brian: We'll go with you.

Daryl: Damn straight we will. Ride or die, brother.

Ian: We should spilt up. We're covering as much ground as we can.

Daryl and Brian exchanges a look with each other

Daryl: All right.

Ian looks up at them, nodding his head

Ian: I'm okay. Rick's okay. Viv's okay.

Brian: Yeah?

Ian exhales sharply slightly shaking his head, biting down on his lips.

Ian: I'm gonna be okay.

He walks past them as Brian looks over his shoulder watching him go before sharing a look with his brother.

Ian: Hey

Brian and Daryl turns around to face him.

Ian: Thank you-----for getting them here.

Brian and Daryl both nods their heads. They watch Ian turn and walk away.

Rosita is looking through a pair of binoculars on the top of the wall looking outward, a SUV is driving away down the path. Vivian is standing beside her.
