11x17 - Lockdown

[bunniefuu]

Previously on "The Walking Dead"...

Now we take it all.

Uh, is my mom pissed at me?

Magna: We need a key to cr*ck the code.

Until we have that,

I'll write about Sebastian's heist...

and hang it around Pamela's neck.

Negan: You helped us,

and I am grateful.

Maggie: This fight that I started,

with Hornsby...

It's not gonna end until I end it.

♪

Judith: I've heard a
lot of stories about

when the world fell.

There were more dead than the living,

and it started to look like
the world would go cold.

It felt like it was almost there.

Almost.

♪

Some people survived by
connecting with each other.

Making found families.

♪

Others gave in to the darkness.

That was a long time ago.

And it's now.

Will it be tomorrow?

[Walker growling]

Clear.

Maggie: Clear.

[g*nf*re in distance]

[Walkers growling]

Fan out.

Check every window, doorway,

stairway, and hallway.

This ends here.

How many you think they got?

Daryl: Don't matter.

Gonna take them out one by one.

[Door opens]

Look who we found.

Where's Hershel?

He's with Elijah and the
others. He's hidden and safe.

Negan: He's good, Maggie.

We're here to take out shithead
and the dickless brigade.

Well, like I've been saying,

we should go back to
the Commonwealth first.

Get our people out and then
deal with Hornsby together.

Aaron: No, Gabe, he probably
already radioed back.

You know that.

Look, he knows us.

We're never getting
through those checkpoints.

And if he has his people go after

our families in the meantime?

Carol's there. So is
Rosita and Jerry, Ezekiel.

We have to hope they can handle it.

Hope is running low, and
the longer we're out here

having these debates,
the more our families

- back home are at risk.
- Our people are out here, too.

We need to find Hornsby and k*ll
him before he gets to anybody.

Wait, wait, hold up, hold up.

We can do all of this.

They've never seen your face before.

Right, are you saying I
just walk right on in there?

Yeah. That's exactly what I'm saying.

Me too.

No, Annie, not you too.

Only one of us needs to go
into the belly of the beast.

Hey.

I need you to be safe.

Besides, I am f*cked either way.

Hey, not gonna get rid
of me that easy, okay?

Alright. So what's the play?

Man: Come in, this is Bravo team.

We need to clear out quadrant four.

Man #: Copy that, Bravo.

Let's roll.

Alright, let's get this over with.

I don't think this

Dial in now!

Calhoun.

Calhoun! Come in. Do you read?

Contingency protocol on Daryl Dixon.

Aar...

[Screeching]

Alright, go find a g*dd*mn

If that car shows up,
make sure our people

are on the wall, ready.

Man: We have visual

heading westbound.

Moving to intercept, two minutes.

Take it down, then find the rest.

If this gets back to Milton or Mercer,

we're eighty-sixed.

We contain this now!

Pamela: Citizens of the Commonwealth,

this is your governor, Pamela Milton.

And I want you all to
know this so-called report

is nothing but lies meant
to sow fear and anger

in people who have suffered enough.

Crowd: We want justice!
Deliver Sebastian now!

Pamela: But I know my son.

He couldn't have done
the horrible things

he's been accused of.

Crowd: We want justice!

Pamela: He is a good young man.

to undermine the safety and
stability of our great community.

We want justice!

Crowd: We want justice!

This could get ugly.

We need to be ready to help these people

if it goes sideways.

It's only a matter of
time until this gets worse.

We... We need options.

What you mean, leave?

No, I don't want to leave.

These... These people need our help.

Nothing gets decided until
everyone's back, okay?

Secure the station.

Crowd: We want justice!

Pamela: That calling is
an honor and a privilege.

Woman: He's in there! Bring him out!

Deliver Sebastian now!

What are you doing out of uniform?

Personal day.

Not today. Not with all this.

This isn't my problem.
It's not yours either.

Man: General Mercer, sir,

you're needed in processing ASAP.

Not now.

You're gonna want to see this one, sir.

Alright, I'm on my way.

We want justice!

Crowd: Deliver Sebastian now!

I need you today.

These people do.

Now suit up.

Crowd: We want justice!

Deliver Sebastian now!

We want justice!

I will find the real culprits
and bring them to justice.

Now I will answer some written questions

submitted by citizens.

Crowd: We want justice!

You think she knows where he is?

No. Probably in hiding.

He's more afraid of her than he is them.

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

Pamela: We are following multiple leads.

I want to keep going.

Then we will.

Pamela: We are working
diligently to find the people

responsible for spreading these lies.

Rest assured... they will
be brought to justice.

[Door closes]

You know me?

Yeah, word gets around the wasteland.

So no.

A friend told me about you.

Said that I should ask for you

when I came looking for her.

April.

When I came looking for April.

Do you know what happened to her?

I think you asking me that
means that it can't be good.

Why are you really here?

Ran into some trouble.

Some shirt-and-tie-wearing sh*t and his

clamshell assholes he runs with.

Get him some water.

Now.

Alright.

Who sent you?

I think you know who sent me.

Daryl.

So, listen.

So, this Hornsby prick?

He's been cutting us up out there,

and we're dealing with it.

But see, the problem is
that we got people in here

to protect, too.

That's my job.

And yet I was sent here anyway.

I can't just let you
in. We got rules here.

Oh, rules? Right.

Well, if no one else is
playing by those rules,

then why are you?

- Aunt Carol?
- Hmm?

The blueberry pancakes are burning.

Oh. Oh, no.

You don't like them b*rned?

[Chuckles] Not really.

You're missing out.

Kelly took these?

- Mm-hmm.
- What for?

So we can learn about this place.

Keep an eye on things.

When are Uncle Aaron and
Uncle Daryl coming back?

Why? You like their cooking better?

[Laughs] No way.

Unless there's a campfire, Daryl
has no idea what he's doing.

- [Chuckles]
- My dad's a good cook

wherever he is.

They'll be back soon.

[Crowd shouting in distance]

What is it?

Maybe nothing.

Alright. You guys get
up. We got to move.

But breakfast.

No, we'll come back later.

Right now we got to play the quiet game.

[Knocking]

It's empty.

Are you sure he didn't
say anything else?

Dixon was the only
name that came through.

Let's check the school.

[Crowd clamoring]

Dude. What the hell?

What are you doing here, man?

Well, I'm here to save your asses.

Where is Carol?

Okay.

[Static]

Charlie Whiskey Actual.

Charlie Whiskey Actual,
this is field unit Bravo.

Charlie Whiskey Actual,
Charlie Whiskey Actual,

this is field unit Bravo.

[Clanging in distance]

Man: Copy, this is Actual, go ahead...

Actual, this is field unit Bravo OTB.

Message from Hornsby, as follows...

[Clanging]

[Gasps]

Man: Field unit, come
back. I didn't get that.

[Clatters]

Carol: We're just gonna have
a little adventure today, okay?

[Footsteps]

I need you guys to go back
to the bedroom and wait.

And don't come out until I call. Go.

[Knocking]

Jerry: Carol, it's clear.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Turns out you might've been right...

I probably should've
stayed in the g*dd*mn cabin.

Hornsby tried to scare Maggie
by interrogating Hershel.

So the thought is that he
is somehow gonna try to use

the kids to draw our people out.

That's why they came for Daryl.

Uh-huh.

But if Hornsby sent those two,

he's trying to keep it under the radar.

Which means we might be able
to get ahead of them... and him.

Jerry, do you still have
access to that attic space?

Yes, ma'am.

Stocked with supplies, like you asked.

Keep the kids there, and
get word to the others.

Tell them to be ready
to move on your signal.

I'll start the chain.

Ready for what?

I mean, this doesn't seem
like the kind of place

that you can just

stroll out the front gate, hand in hand.

That's why me and you are gonna
go try to get some insurance.

[Crowd clamoring]

Woman: There she is, over there!

Man: Our daughter is dead.

What are you going to do?

I can't imagine the
pain you've experienced.

And I share your horror.

Though I can't bring
your loved ones back,

I will get to the bottom
of what happened...

And who was responsible.

We know who did this.

He did this.

Where are you hiding your son?

What you read was not the truth.

You know where he is.

Guard: Alright! That's enough!

Get back! Now!

Or what, you gonna disappear us, too?

Hey. We hear you.

- We do.
- Guard: Calm down!

To make it here, after everything,

and then lose loved ones this way?

It's unthinkable.

We will find out what happened.

And we will update you on
every step of the investigation

throughout the whole process, okay?

Come on, everybody out.

- You heard him. Move along.
- Let's go!

Move it. You, move along.

Man: I'm tired of the lies.

Woman: Everyone's
blood is on your hands.

Guard: Clear the area.

Woman: We are not gonna go anywhere.

- Come on.
- We want...

- Move it along.
- Man: Alright, that's good.

Your friend, Connie, the journalist...

You don't suppose she would have an idea

who wrote that piece, do you?

It would surprise me if she did.

Crowd: Down with the Miltons!

We want Sebastian! Pamela, where is he?

B.

Do it right away.

[Crowd shouting]

What do you mean Pamela knows?

Well, suspects, you know, at least,

who's behind the article.

But she doesn't have any proof.

Not yet.

Have you told Connie?

I really wanted to talk to you first.

But you know who what she's like...

She's never gonna run away from a fight.

You think I will?

Please.

From the beginning, you've
seen this place for what it is.

You've never stood for bullshit.

It's one of your better qualities.

But you know... more than anyone...

We've made it through a lot
by knowing when is good to go.

And if things go bad here,

I want a strong exit plan for you guys.

"You guys"?

Come on, Magna. You
know I can't leave Tomi.

We don't go anywhere without you.

End of story.

- No, Magna, that's...
- Miko.

If the time comes to
go, then we're all going.

Even if I have to drag
you and Tomi along.

Until then, we keep our eyes peeled,

help everyone we can, and wait
for the other shoe to drop.

You're so stubborn.

Not one of my better qualities.

But you never seemed to mind.

[P.A. system beeps]

Woman: Lockdown procedures initiated.

Proceed to your residences,
follow all instructions,

remain inside until further notice.

This might be the other shoe.

Come on.

I repeat... a swarm has

Our brave Commonwealth

We're gonna need to motor.

Come on. Go.

Return to your homes immediately.

After curfew, anyone

will be arrested for their own safety.

Alright.

What are we looking for exactly?

Um, blueprints, schematics.

Plans for Union Station
have to be here somewhere.

Uh-huh. And what else?

The person that I'm looking
for was in the building

right before people started
calling for his head.

So he may have stayed.

So, if he stayed and
everybody was looking for him,

then he has one hell of a hiding spot.

Yeah.

Hey, did I, uh... Did
I tell you I got married?

Mm. Why are you telling me this now?

Well, I don't know.

Because...

Because she is out there, and...

she is carrying our child.

It's gonna be okay.

Thank you.

Maggie: They'll be here.

Daryl, what y... What

me to look after you.

You don't have to ever say sorry.

Not to me.

Hey! Hey! Sss!

Anything?

He's dug in up ahead with half his men.

We wouldn't get close.

The others are flanking us from behind.

We should go east before they pin us in.

Is there any way to get behind him?

Not without them spotting us.

Unless they never see us coming.

Come on.

Come on, buddy.

Go. Go.

Go. Go, go, go.

Hello there.

Small favor, please.

Man: That is last call
before we head out.

You made it.

I heard walkers needed k*lling.

I couldn't resist.

Man: Swarm is past
the second checkpoint.

We need support.

Hold your position. On our way.

[Tires squeal]

You okay?

Yeah.

Just... you know.

Yeah. I do.

You want to take a minute?

No, we should keep going.

[Growling]

If we keep going that
way, we should come up

right behind them.

[Growling]

Maybe we can get them
to come down here to us.

[g*nshots]

I hate to say it, but we are
running out of places to look.

Let me have a look at that.

- Huh.
- What?

There should be a door here.

Jesus.

What the hell?

How'd you guys get in here?

- Whoa.
- Ugh!

Easy, champ.

Get off me!

What do we have here?

Do you know who I am?

Aw. Do you know who I am?

What do you assholes want?

Get up.

We're taking you home to your mother.

I'm not going anywhere
until this thing blows over.

My mother doesn't care anyway.

Yes, she does. You're her kid.

The Commonwealth is her
kid. I'm just a problem.

[Chuckles] Aw. Oh, my God.

Hey, Junior, when you're pissing in jars

and everybody wants
you dead, call me nuts,

but I think maybe it's time
to rethink your options.

Now, this one here, well,
she is a g*dd*mn magician.

I have seen her pull little bunnies

right out of her ass
with my very own two eyes.

So if, for whatever reason,
she is throwing you a life raft,

well, then I recommend
you jump in that sucker

and save yourself from drowning.

You really think you can help?

Stop.

You are in violation of curfew.

The swarm is past the
first two outer checkpoints.

Go to your homes immediately.

[Crowd murmuring indistinctly]

My daughter can never return home.

And we're not moving until

Sebastian Milton is brought to us.

- Yeah!
- Yeah!

This is Henderson. We have a situation.

Hey. Hey.

I found him! I found him!

Sebastian's here! He's over here!

You guys go. I'll take care of this.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You got the wrong guy.

He's over here! Sebastian's here!

He's getting away!

You are mistaken.

This is your final warning. Go home!

You are not safe here.

Would you like one?

It's a little early for me. Thank you.

You tear-gassed my friends.

If they were there, they
were in defiance of lockdown.

And did it help?

Did it actually make the troopers' jobs

easier outside the walls?

It was about what could have happened.

It was about safety.

It always is.

And you don't care that
it makes you look guilty.

If you have an accusation,
Yumiko, make it.

[Clears throat] Look.

Can you really sit there and
say there is no way your son

did the things he was accused of?

He's always been something
of a renegade, it's true.

But his grandfather and
uncles were the same way,

and they mellowed over time.

Became leaders of men.

Maybe he's having his youthful
rebellions later than most,

but he's not a m*rder*r.

Pamela, I am trying to
figure out how much you knew.

It might be my job to defend you.

How can I talk to my lawyer
freely when she's also friends

with the most prominent
journalist around?

Mom, I...

You've humiliated me. And yourself.

I told you I shouldn't have come here.

Look at me!

What did you have to
do with all of this?

Nothing. Mom, I... Look.

That story is a lie.

People... they want someone to blame,

and I'm an easy target.

You'll need to tell me more than
that for me to save your ass.

I think we can help each other.

And who are you?

I work for Lance Hornsby.

He's out there hunting my
friends under your flag.

I need your help to stop him.

I don't know anything about this.

Kang: Our characters that
are in the Commonwealth

are experiencing their
first-ever lockdown drill.

It's really about our characters

feeling like the net

and what they've got to do
to try to break out of that.

- [g*nsh*t]

I think Lance is used to being

And I think that he
kind of underestimated

some of our group.

- Aah!
- Oh! Oh!

At this point in the
story, they've just become

a major nuisance for
him, because they will not

just listen to instructions, [Chuckles]

and he can't have that.

- We contain this now!
- Aah!

k*ll him!

It's not often that they
come across a community

that pushes back so hard

against what the Commonwealth is doing.

Ugh!

[Growling]

I think Negan is eager to help

because he still feels like
he has something to prove.

And he's been trying to show

that he is somebody that
they can rely on and trust.

And he wants to earn
his place with them.

[Tires screech]

It was really fun to get to

write a car chase into the show.

And you know, the footage they got

was really, really cool and fun to see.

I think everybody did a great job

that's involved in the scenes,

and I hope everybody enjoyed watching.

[Engine revs]

[g*nf*re]

[Metal clanking]

When Negan shows up at
that detention center,

we thought it'd be interesting to see

how Negan handles intake,

knowing what he knows now

about what our people have been through.

Mercer: You know me?

Yeah, word gets around the wasteland.

So no.

So his entire goal

is to get Mercer in there
to talk to him directly.

And then he's gonna try
to sweet-talk his way in.

Our characters... they think

that Mercer is an honest operator

and that he's somebody that
they could perhaps convince

to help them.

Why are you really here?

Ran into some trouble.

We really liked the idea
of something that had

almost like you're in a spy thriller

and that the vibe is, you've got to have

a very honest conversation
while being careful,

knowing that people
might be listening nearby.

Alright.

Who sent you?

I think you know who sent me...

Daryl.

We really had a lot of fun with this one

and seeing it kind of come together,

'cause I think Jeffrey and
Michael did an amazing job

playing all the nuance of that scene.

I think Carol is definitely shocked

to see Negan show up at her door.

Carol is wary of Negan.

Like, we've shown that
she was gonna kick him out

and just, like, kind of
walk him off into the woods,

which Negan makes a joke about.

Turns out, you might have been right.

I probably should have
stayed in the g*dd*mn cabin.

It's a really fun dynamic
for us to play with,

because Carol just suffers no fools.

And in her mind, Negan is
still a little bit shady.

So there's definitely always gonna be

a little bit of tension
between those two.

But at the same time, they realize

that they have a bigger problem

that they've got to work on together.

I mean, this doesn't seem
like the kind of place

that you can just stroll out
the front gate hand-in-hand.

That's why me and you are gonna
go try to get some insurance.

We've well established that
Negan does respect people

who are strong and
smart and have purpose.

Now, this one here...

Well, she's a g*dd*mn magician.

So if, for whatever reason,

she is throwing you a life raft,

well, then I recommend
you jump in that sucker

and save yourself from drowning.

I don't think he has a lot of use

for people like Sebastian,

who just are kind of
drifting through life

and relying on everyone around them

to prop them up.

I definitely think he sees somebody

that has, like, just
drifted off of others

for way too long.

Hey, Junior, when you
are pissing in jars

and everybody wants you dead,

call me nuts but I think

maybe it's time to rethink your options.

[g*nf*re]

One of the relationships

that we've really enjoyed
building a bit this season

has been between Rosita and Mercer.

These are two people

that are really, really
good at what they do.

And I think that Mercer
really is somebody

that can identify that in somebody,

and so he looks at Rosita as somebody

that he can trust and that he respects.

If the time comes when you decide to go,

and you need help getting out,

I got you.

Trooper: This is Delta! Echo is down!

- Vehicle overturned!

And I think Rosita, for her part,

she respects people
that are the same way.

You know, she can see
that Mercer works hard,

is good at what he does,

cares about the people
that work for him,

even though she does not entirely think

that the system is a great one.

In this job, I need people like you...

People I can trust.

If you need my help
out here, I'm your girl.

But you want my help back
there, it's not for me.

My daughter and my family
will always come first.

There's sort of a line

for how far she's gonna
go for the Commonwealth.

When Daryl and Maggie
are on a mission together,

they're really great as a team.

They have such a long relationship,

and both of them are really tough,

they are leaders in their own right.

But I think that Daryl really feels

like he still owes this debt to Maggie

because of what happened to Glenn.

He blames himself still.

Glenn would have wanted
me to look out for you.

You don't have to ever
say "sorry"... not to me.

[Dramatic music plays]

So much of the world is
so broken at this point,

our characters... they don't have

a lot of trust in the
Commonwealth in general,

but especially not at this point.

Hope is running low.

And the longer we're out
here having these debates,

the more our families
back home are at risk.

Our people are out here, too.

We need to find Hornsby and k*ll him

before he gets to anybody.

They are so outgunned,

there's no safety if they really

get in the crosshairs of the Miltons.

Trooper: Drop your w*apon!

g*ns on the ground.

g*ns on the ground!

Down! Now!

Weapons down!
