We are PADRE.

All these people lost
their children to PADRE.

What's this? King County.

What does it mean?

Some kind of graffiti.

- How'd they find us?

How'd you know about our code?

I knew that song meant
something to you and Mom.

Is it okay if I call you that?

Of course.

I thought if I put it
at the end of the message,

she'd think it was you.

I didn't think you'd bring me here.

Is this what it feels like?

What feels like?

Getting in trouble with your parents?

You know, we're not the ones

How'd you get away from PADRE?

Madison's friend Daniel. He helped me.

Daniel's still alive?

I came out, there she was.

Did it get rid of the smell?

I think it just masks it.

How'd you know that'd work?

When Duane was little,
he had a dog named Midge.

Used to follow him everywhere

and bark at everybody else.

One time, she got too close
to the wrong end of a skunk.

She smelled worse than me.

But she had to be where Duane was at.

So he's crying. She's stinking.

Me and Jenny damn near lost our minds.

- So you gave her a bath in tomato soup?
- Yup.

Made her smell like a mix
between wet dog and bad ketchup.

Why do you think there's
all these cans still left?

Even when we hadn't eaten in days,

Duane wouldn't touch the stuff.

Was it nice?

What, the soup?

How things used to be.

I would say it wasn't bad.

Do you think it'll ever be
like that again?

I think if we do things right...

we might have the chance
to make it even better.

Give everybody that second
chance that they deserve.

were not your parents.

Dwight and Sherry gave us the out.

Come on, my way.

Hey!

I think the thing that made it so easy

to kind of return to King County
and to return to that house

that we saw in the pilot
of "The Walking Dead",

this location, these sets
where the entire kind of

"Walking Dead" universe began,

was the fact that kind
of Morgan, at his core

as a character, was defined
by what happened in that house,

by what didn't happen in that house.

And we were always looking for food.

And I went down into the basement

and told them to stay in the kitchen.

And I don't know...
maybe the door was ajar.

The front door, because when I came up,

there she was.

His mother standing right opposite him,

but she wasn't his mother anymore.

I'm so sorry, Morgan.

I just ran.

Ran and left them here.

Those sets that were used
in the "Walking Dead" pilot

had long been dismantled,
so we were very lucky

that we got such
an amazing production team

that we could actually build the
exterior of that yellow house.

And then we re-created
the interior using all the plans

and all the set photographs that we had.

It looks exactly like the house

that Morgan Jones and Rick Grimes

were in at the very start
of this whole entire universe.

Man named Rick Grimes gave me this r*fle

to do right by her,
and I... never could.

Morgan has had an incredibly
complicated journey

from where he started
on "The Walking Dead"

to where we have found him on "Fear".

He's petrified that he's not
going to be able to protect Mo,

his daughter, the way he wasn't
able to protect his son.

He's still punishing himself

for what happened with Duane way back

when we first met him on
"The Walking Dead".

I'm on my way!

[GROWLING]

- Mo, you here?
- Dad! I'm trapped!

I brought him here?

Dad, help me!

Help me, Dad!

[GRUNTS]

Dad, please!

Help!

Help!

Daddy, daddy!

[FIRE CRACKLING]

The scene where Morgan buries
Jenny and Duane

was one that we talked about a lot.

And I think what was
really important to us

was feeling like Morgan had done
what he came there to do,

was he sort of put these
ghosts of his past to rest

and he was ready to move on.

You once told me...

that no matter what...

no matter what was coming,
I had to live.

So that's what we're going to do.

And then just the final blow.

Help me! Help!

[SCREAMS]

Dad!

Morgan said some words, and that was,

"I lose people, I lose myself".

You okay? You didn't get bit?

No, I'm fine. I didn't get bit.

That's a real window into Morgan's soul.

So the real pivot point is,

is Morgan going to be able
to overcome this mistaken belief

that every time he loses someone,

he's going to lose himself?

And if that is the case,

Morgan's probably not going to survive.

Hang on. Hang on.

June's gonna be able to fix this.

You don't know that.

Hey, no matter what's coming,
we have to live.

- Right?
- Yeah.
