The Walking Dead Season 5: Episode 5: Fight together

Scene 3: Undying Loyality

Heath sits in small dark room strapped to a chair,  with Mary interrogating him, he had been tortured but sill not broken. Mary takes a knife and cuts his arm with it for about the Fourth time. He screams in pain. "Tell me where you and you're people are hiding!" Heath laughs. "Nowhere, we've been on the road." he said. "LIAR!" she cuts him with the knife again, sending him into more screams of pain. "THERE'S NO WAY YOU AND THAT MANY PEOPLE WOULD SURVIVE OUT THERE WITHOUT BEING HOLED UP SOMEWHERE!" Mary screamed, sinking the knife into his leg, he yelps than starts to laugh hysterically. 

"You-you guys are crazy you-you know that? Huh?!? YOU KNOW THAT?!?"  Mary smacks him across the face, giving him a bloody lip. He spits up blood onto the floor and challenges her. "You can hit me and torture me all you want, because I'm never going to give up our location." said Heath confidently. Mary becomes hitting him in the face repeatedly, upon the third swing, someone grabs her arm and holds her back. It's Gareth.

"Take it easy Mary, he's strapped to a chair, he can't do anything. Now just relax he's not going anywhere." Outside, they hear the gunfire and explosions as Rick and his group begin the assault on Terminus. Heath chuckles. "Are you sure about that?" he asked. Gareth walks over and looks out the window, his brow furrows in frustration. "Very clever, having your people and Rick work together. We were prepared for Rick, but not all of you." "Rick?" "Oh? You didn't plan this? Well then perhaps Rick's people and your people are working together. I think for that they would need to know your little secret wouldn't they?" Gareth laughs. "Shut the hell up." said Heath, angry. "Did you fail to tell Rick that you used to be part of this community, and how you used to enjoy hunting people down like dogs, and storing them away for food?!?" said Gareth in a menacing voice. "People can change." said Heath, "We did it." "No, you can never change, what you do these days becomes a part of who you are, and you can't change it, no matter how hard you try. The only thing you can change is how easy life can be, and right now, you're not making life easy by not telling us where you guys are HOLED UP!" Gareth said, getting up in his face spitting at him.

Heath headbutts Gareth, giving him a bloody nose. Gareth cries out in pain, putting his hand to his face. "Mary, I want to you to go outside and organize our people gather them up, flush out our intruders. My old friend and I need to have a discussion" Mary leaves the room, shutting the door behind her, leaving Gareth and Heath, old friends now enemies, alone. Gareth pulls his spiked club from his belt and holds it in the air, observing it. "Now, we can do this the easy way, or we can do the hard way." said Gareth holding the club towards Heath threateningly. He looks at Heath, clearly wanting an answer. When Heath doesn't anwer, Gareth swings the club towards him but Heath hops around in his chair so the club shatters the front left chair leg, freeing Heath's leg. Heath aims high and manages to kick Gareth in the chest before going down.

Heath rolls aroudn on the floor, partially strapped in, trying to get out. Gareth gets up swings the club down towards him. Heath dodges it just right so the chair's right arm breaks. Heath kicks Gareth in the shin with his free leg, then hops up and punches him with his free arm. Gareth falls to the ground, stunned. Heath uses this moment to bash the chair against the wall repeatedly, freeing the rest of the his body, just when he finishes discarding all of the chair pieces away from himself, Gareth comes out of nowhere and hits him in the face, pinning him against the wall. Gareth hits him in the stomach, the face, alternating. Heath headbutts him, making him back away. Gareth is holding his face in his hands keeled over, Heath brings down an uppercut to his neck, knocking him on the ground.  Heath gives him two kicks in the ribs, on a third attempt Gareth grabs his foot and flings him. Heath crashes into a metal shelf housing metal torture tools. The shelf falls on Heath along with the tools.

Gareth grabs him and flips him over and begins relentlessly beating him. Heath's face is now all swollen and becoming bruised up until Heath takes a medical knife and shoves it into Gareth's earlobe. Gareth falls off of him, screaming in pain, blood gushing from his ear. Heath begins beating his face in, without stopping, but then Gareth grabs a metal medical tray and bashes Heath over the head with it. Gareth painfully yanks the knife out of his ear, and throws it aside. He grabs Heath by the hair and begins pounding him in the face. Heath headbutts him again, and punches him off of him. Heath then picks a knife up off of the floor and sinks through Gareth's leg to the floor. Gareth howls in pain as Heath pulls a gun from his belt and points at him. He hesitates. He finally lowers the gun and walks away, leaving Gareth in agony.

 Heath runs out of the room and limps down the stairs where he meets Rick and the other church people. Heath starts at the sight of Rick. "What are you doing here?!?" Heath asked. "I could say the same of you. Where are our people? Do you know?" Rick asked. Heath shakes his head. "No I don't." he said. "Okay, we scan through this place, look through every room, door, crevice, everything we can find." said Rick. They hand Heath a weapon and they go searching throughout the building. Terminus citizens come out from above floors with guns. "Get down!" Rick yelled, pushing Heath to the ground. Bullets fly over them as the Terminus citizens shoot at them. Heath takes the rifle Rick hands him and begins firing back. Daryl shoots one of them up above with an arrow to the chest, he falls over the railing crashing to the floor. Michonne slices at the wooden support beam with her sword, causing the Terminus citizens to crash to the ground

The group checks through every room throughout the building and can't find anything. Once they had checked all three floors. Daryl brought up a suggestion. "I bet there's a cellar or a basement, or something like that." he said. Just then, more Terminus citizens arrive, shooting at them, and killing two more church people. The groups dive behind doors to rooms for cover, peering around to shoot. Tyreese rolls a grenade around his door, and blows up the Terminus soldiers, giving th group some breathing room. Heath rummages through the dead Terminus people and finds his pack. He holds it up and puts it on his back. "Perfect." he said. "Alright, come on! We need to look for a cellar!" yelled Rick.

The group comes to a pair of a wooden doors in the floor, Rick observes it. "This is it." he said. Daryl kicks it open and goes in first with his rifle. As soon as Daryl gets down there, he dives as gunfire begins flying at him. It's a huge cellar. It's the length of half a football field, dark, and the celing is 100 feet high. A bunch of Terminus citizens have Sasha, Tara, Rosita, Eugene, and Morgan at the far end of the cellar, gagged and tied up. The group takes cover behind solid cement pillars, turing around to fire, everyone had already had to reload at least twice, and still had enough ammo to spare. The bullets are turning the other side of the pillars into mincemeat. I'm gonna toss a grenade!" Heath yelled over the gunfire. "No! You throw that Grenade, and you're going to blow up our people too!" Beth yelled. The group keep behind cover from the gunfire, trying to get an opening to shoot. "There's too many of them!" Michonne yelled. Rick reloads his shotgun with frustration.

 Rick thinks it over. "Okay, Daryl, Tyreese you attack from the sides, don't get shot, the rest will go at them and shoot them. Daryl and Tyreese attack from both sides, somehow taking out a Terminus soldier each and avoiding the gunfire. The group has a split second time window to attack aggressively at the Terminus citizens. The only casualty is one church person, and Beth gets a gun shot to the shoulder, as well was as Michonne getting nicked by a bullet. Beth sits against a pillar and rubs her shoulder, grunting in pain. Daryl goes over to her and grabs her shoulder. "You alright?" he asks. "I'm fine." Beth grunted, "It just hurts." "Think I'll remove that for you, return the favor." Daryl chuckled. He helps her up on her feet and pats her on the shoulder. We'll take care of it as soon as we get out of here." said Daryl. Rick and Tyreese walk over to the five and untie them. Rosita chuckles nervously at them. "So I guess I owe you guys an apology, huh?" "Save it for later." said Michonne, rubbing her leg where she got nicked by a bullet. Rick hands them all rifles to defend themselves, he looks at them with quick concern. "You guys alright to shoot?" They all nod.

"Eugene isn't though. He'd probably kill one us before he kills one of them." said Rostia. "If he goes without defending himself then he's a sitting duct, it's a lose lose either way. Better to at least feel the power to defend yourself, then rely on others for it." said Rick. "Ok, now we just need to get out of this place." said Sasha, looking around. Rick leads them back to the center of the building, but they say lined around it dozens of Terminus soldiers with guns pointed at them. They are perched all over on the surrounding buildings outside, around on the ground, and even on top of the building itself. They're surrounded, no way out. "Drop your weapons and come out slowly!" a voice outside commands. Everyone looks to Rick for a way out.
