07x07 - Sing Me a Song

You should go... before you find out how dangerous we all are.

Did you just thr*aten me?

We're gonna manufacture b*ll*ts here.

Per the law of supply and demand, a full cartridge is now the coin of the land.

Everything we have, we got from fighting.

We play by their rules... we get some kind of life.

What kind of a life?

What time is it?

Just past 5:30.

Let's go.

Didn't see that last night.

Didn't see what?

George: Still going.

Looks like the end of them, though.

All damn night.

At least Negan's smart enough not to let that mess anywhere near us.

Fat Joey's good for something, at least.

What, eating cake?

He rigged the herdway.

Just trips.

Nothing fancy.

Guerilla kind of stuff.

What kind of stuff?

As in warfare, idiot.

Those demo sticks from that run last month, the RPGs from the new guys.

[Sighs] Maybe it takes it down.

Takes them out.

All right, it's a trickle.

Let's go. Finally.

Thank Christ.

Making a trail.

I think we're close.

We should bail out, follow the rest of the way, see what we can see.

I, uh...

How?

It isn't usually the fall that gets us.

It's trying to fight it. Run with it or roll with it.

The truck's going slow enough.

We'll be in the blind spot.

We can race behind one of the other cars.

I-I-If... If I screw up and we get caught...

It'll be fine. We just got to go now.

Okay. Show me first.

Negan: Okay, boys, let's get this haul unloaded and inside.

I want to get back in there and unload a little myself.

Man: Negan, need to talk to you about redirect.

What about the redirect?

It got screwed up.

We're on it now, but it's a mess out there.

And whose job was that?

George: A pack and a tent...

Aw, damn.

I thought they packed this up tight.

Ah, no worries.

Plenty more where this came from.

Right? [Laughter]

Son of a bitch!

[Laughs] What the hell?

Stay back! Drop your weapons.

I only want Negan.

He k*lled my friends.

No one else needs to die.

[Negan whistling]

Damn.

You are adorable.

Did you pick that g*n 'cause it looks cool?

You totally did, right?

Kid, I ain't gonna lie... you scare the sh*t outta me.

[Chuckles]

Really?

You're really not gonna take my hand?

'Cause you're lucky you even still have a hand.

Same as your boy Daryl over here, now that I think about it.

How's the job going, Daryl?

Hot enough for you?

Yeah, it'd be tough with one arm.

[Chuckles]

Ah, smart kid.

Now come with me.

Dwighty-boy, why don't you grab Daryl, take him to the kitchen, do a little grub prep.

New plan, boys.

Let's burn the dead, unload the truck later.

Damn, I am not gonna have time to screw any of my wives today.

I mean, maybe one.

Come on.

What are you gonna do to me?

Number one, do not shatter my image of you.

You're a badass.

You're not scared of sh*t.

Don't be scared of me.

The Saviors have gone out into the world and fought the dead and come back with some really good stuff.

Cool, huh?

They still on their knees?

As you were!

Hey, I wanted to show you a few potentials I've rated B-plus or higher.

I know where we're going.

While I'm picking up a high level of certainty, I'd be remiss if I didn't mention that after a thorough analysis of the grid, X'ing out any places we've already combed, I do believe I've bull's-eye'd some worth considering for the specific task at hand.

What?

Finding goods for Negan.

No, we're not doing sh*t for that cabrón.

You're not going out to find stuff for the Saviors?

[Scoffs]

Why not?

There's no fighting it, Rosita.

Perhaps we should all travel together.

I'm down.

We come across a haystack, four POVs could draw out whatever we're looking for.

We're fine on our own.

I know you don't like it and you don't want to hear it from me, but we got to produce for them.

This is like taxes.

Hey. Come here.

Hey.

You can keep acting pissed at me, but I didn't do this.

Rick did.

You think you can do better.

Yes.

[Chuckles] Sure.

No, I bet you already have a whole truck-load full of stuff hidden out there for yourself, huh?

Go get it.

He was a cop. Fine.

He shouldn't be in charge.

My mother, she... she served in Congress.

She led people.

She brought out the good in people.

Rick brought out the good in me.

How? By bullying you?

[Chuckles]

A little.

But mostly by inspiring me.

He didn't just keep people alive.

He brought us all together.

He's not perfect, but he's a man who finds his way.

He didn't keep everybody alive, Gabriel.

My mother, my father, my brother...

It wasn't his fault.

He got here, they d*ed.

Or maybe other people didn't die because he got here.

Or maybe we shouldn't have att*cked that outpost and then Glenn... We don't know!

We can't.

We don't get to.

We're here now... and we can look to the future.

What future?

There's no future with him in charge.

The thing I can't stop thinking is that... maybe the only good thing that could happen for us now... is he never makes it back.

Stop the car.

No, sir.

Yes, sir.

Were you gentle?

Were you kind?

Uh...

Did you treat her like a lady?

Mm, yes. Yes, sir.

We provide security to others.

We bring civilization back to this world.

But that... was peak heat of the moment.

Uh, in the intervening hours, I've been taking a deep dive into other options and contingencies, trying to game out any iteration in which charging into this enterprise makes any sense.

I'm not trying to definitively stop ya.

Just maybe slow your roll.

Maybe go on for some lullin', false sense of security-wise.

A single b*llet ain't gonna do it.

Best case, maybe you take him out.

Then make me a b*llet.

Somebody has to pay the price.

Even if you're willing... from all we've seen, it's not a lock you'll be the one.

Will the man who k*lled the man who saved our lives die?

Maybe. Then make me a b*llet.

You're not talking me out of this, Eugene!

You owe me, and you owe him.

And if there's a price, I'll pay it.

But don't you tell me no.

You don't know anything.

You don't do anything.

You're a coward.

And you're weak.

The only reason you're alive is because you lied and because people feel sorry for you.

So, for once... do something useful... and make me a b*llet.
