Yeah.

That's what I was considering.

I wasn't here before.

Just need a clear sh*t.

Right, Dianne?

Just a few seconds.

So we just need to time it right.

They see us, they fire a g*n, we're not getting in.

Don't let them fire a g*n, Dianne.

It is not, and he won't, for we together will find him, end him, and fulfill the promise of what we have begun.

[Round chambers]

Trust the King.

Outpost is due north, through the woods.

As that's surely his course, so shall it be ours.

If our comrades had already arrived, they'd have been here.

Return to the staging area.

Gather the others when they land.

And if they haven't yet, release Shiva from her cage.

Due north.

We'll leave a trail for you.

Ensure no enemies remain in these environs, and be not minutes behind.

Go.

- Onward!

- Whoo!

To our foe,

then to his compound, then to certain victory.

He said they'd be here.

Everything else he passed you is checking out.

That guy's a piece of sh*t.

Those g*ns get to the Sanctuary, they could cut through those walkers and free up an exit.

We'll go faster if we split up.

I find the M s, you find 'em, we use them, hit the courtyard right then and there.

End this quick.

You got to believe me.

Then what are you doing here?

I'm just a worker.

They brought me from the Sanctuary to cook, clean, whatever.

They did not give me a choice.

They made me leave my wife and kids.

Your people do this to the Sanctuary, too?

The families okay?

We don't want to hurt the workers.

I'm not gonna sh**t someone with their hands up, and I'm not letting you.

These medical supplies -- they're the Hilltop's, right?

Maggie's prenatals.

They took them because they could, because they don't give a sh*t.

So why should we?

I know they k*lled your girlfriend...

Aw, hell, look that.

Well, that sh*t is ruined.

Oh, honey, no, you're not.

Then someone else will.

There's too many of us.

See, that's where we differ.

If I take the two of you with me, then I've got one hell of an insurance policy.

So why don't you put that thing down

such certainty?

No and yes.

Yes and no.

All of us may not make it.

We may not even win.
