Fear the Walking Dead - 5x10 - 210 Words Per Minute


Why don't you just tell us where the oil fields are?

[g*nf*re]

I wake up every morning, wondering if... today will be the day

I... start to feel sick.

I got a chance here to do exactly what I need to do, so I'm taking it.

We're recording so that we can show people what we're about.

Figure this is the best way to get the message out.

We are out here helping, but this is bigger than any of us.

MAN: Anyone there?

I'm on channel four, like you said.

[BIRD CHIRPING]

I saw the video at a gas station.

Name's Charles.

Uh, people called me Chuck back when there were still people to call me Chuck.

[CHUCKLES]

When you get here, I just want you to do one thing.

k*ll me.

I got bit while I was corralling some of the dead, and, well, I want to do what you said.

I-I want to help.

The place I've been living, it's got everything you need under one roof... a-a book store, a bunch of places to get clothes, a food court.

Hell, there's even an Urgent Care.

[RAPID BANGING ON GLASS, WALKER GROWLING]

Are you there?

Anybody listening?

If you are, by the time you get here...

... [SIGHS] I'll already be gone.

[WALKERS GROWLING]

I-I don't have a g*n or I'd do it myself.

I-I've got a red jacket on, so I'll be easy to spot.

Hell, I'll just hole myself up in the security office.

I-I-It'll make it easier for you.

[BANGING CONTINUES]

Find me.

Bury me someplace outside.

[SIGHS] Just... put me under the stars.

Yeah, that'd be nice.

My mama was an interesting woman.

She both made up answers and always had to be right.

I had heard people say "jelly beans".

No, it's really not.

Well, I'm glad I didn't find out too late.

Can I ask?

What just happened, does, uh... does that have anything to do with, um...

The radiation?

You said it would just be a matter of time.

It could be the start, or it could be a cold, exhaustion, maybe something I ate.

What's going on?

[SIGHS]

[MAN SINGING INDISTINCTLY]

Is that Daniel?

Logan and his people just hit another truck stop not too far off.

So we should go, circle up with the others.

Way our caravan's growing, we need everything we can find in this place.

What if they find us?

No, they won't. We were careful.

No chatter, no breadcrumbs.

But they might've heard the same message that brought us here.

You think they're in range?

Well, uh, we're pickin' up Daniel's signal.

- Right.
- So we go?

Look, they're pretty pissed about the gas, all right?

I wanna make sure we're standin' if they're on their way here.

If they're hittin' truck stops, we're gonna need everything that's in here more than ever.

Can you get back to the caravan?

Bring trucks so we can load up, and send the kids north using back roads.

You should go with him.

No, I'm staying here.

You need to get checked out.

Look, whatever this is,

I'm gonna do much better in here than I will do in the back of a semitrailer.

Let me go and get some water from the car before you go.

[SIGHS]

I'm still feeling a little wobbly.

You... You stay here. Uh, I'll go get you a bottle.

Thank you.

[g*n CLICKS]

Hey.

Should get you through till we, uh, get back.

Thanks.

Be careful.

Hey, you're not doin' careful.

I mean, we both chose somethin' else.

We did.

Could've given up the oil fields, let Logan's guys have the gas for themselves.

We needed it.

- Other people needed it.
- That's right.

But, see, I've already been on the wrong side of takin' what people need.

You know that.

Oh, I do.

You turn off your conscience, your heart.

When that happens,it's harder to turn 'em back on.

So now we're just gonna live our lives lookin' over our shoulders?

[CHUCKLES]

Tell me, please, h-h-how this is gonna end with them.

You know, I have faith in people.

In everybody. I have to.

We're just gettin' to know each other.

Already, I got faith in you, Dwight.

If they come at us, we... we redirect, we try and make this something other than a fight.

No, I'm just sayin', we may need a little more than that.

When I was , I loved horses.

So my parents took me to this dude ranch so I could see what it was like to ride on one.

I'd never even seen one up close before.

And there was this one stallion.

Beautiful white mustang.

I got right up to it, and when I placed my hand on it, it jerked away a tiny bit, looked at me funny.

I ran away into my mother's arms.

She tried to tell me that was just a natural reaction.

She tried to get me on that horse, but I wouldn't.

I just kept screamin' and screamin'.
