Come here. You have everything? Piggy Pig?
- I'm not a baby anymore, Mom. - Right. I forgot.
I don't wanna go.
It's only temporary, okay? I promise.
I wanna help.
I know you do, Hershel, but not this time, okay?
- How far do you think? - Twelve miles south, give or take.
Should get there before dark if we move fast.
So, we'll be back before you know it. Okay?
I got you.
- Call it. - Tails, I guess.
Over there, please.
You gonna give us the assignment, sir?
You'll know soon enough.
- Morning. - Oh, my God.
- I thought you were still asleep. - Well, I was. Soundly so.
I thought we had a lovely night, didn't we?
- Yeah, we did. - What are you reading?
Um, just stuff on physics. Object in motion, you know?
DR. PORTER: Come here.
Just so you know,
you're the most remarkable human
I've ever met in my heretofore uneventful life.
Okay. Let's not get carried away here.
You're beautiful in every way.
Thank you.
I have to get ready for work.
If you're having hesitation about what I've asked you to do...
No. I said I'll do it. I just, um...
Hey. You can tell me.
I just can't stop thinking about what happens after we do this.
This place pushes on people to keep things the same.
I just worry they'll keep pushing until we all break.
Clear.
- Room clear. - They're not splitting up.
Clear.
- Yeah, they will. - This might be our best shot.
It's too risky.
We need to just get through this and get back home.
There is no getting through this, all right?
We are in this shit till we find a way to fight our way out.
Look, we keep heading north, away from our group.
- We find our moment, we take it. - Hey, what's with the chitchat?
We need a break. Been doing this for a while now.
And we'll keep doing this for a while, if that's what it takes.
- You check Charleston yet? - Why? What's in Charleston?
There was a rumor,
up on the rooftops, they trade for weapons and stuff.
It might be something. It might not.
Romano, what's your 20?
Thirteen miles past last outpost.
Second location is cleared and one more to go.
Copy that.
Let's move.
- Hornsby's checking in on us. - We need to watch our backs.
Yeah.
- It seems like it's getting closer. - Because it is.
Mom?
- I'm okay. - No, you're not.
Hershel.
Everything I've done
and everything I still do is so that we have choices.
The place that we're going right now, you may not like it,
but I promise you, it is the right choice.
For now.
Good.
You made it. This way.
Exciting. Don't you think?
Things are coming together.
You get the scalp of the woman who killed your family,
and I finally get to do my job without interference.
Everybody wins.
Well, not everybody.
I'll need to see.
When she's dead. I'll need to see her when she's dead.
You will. Come on.
Okay, this thing is stuck.
Maggie.
Hey, kid.
And you're sure this guy Hornsby and his men are coming?
Yes. Elijah spotted a few of them
five miles outside our walls last night.
Thoughts?
You helped us, and I am grateful.
And I got no problem watching the kid at all.
But Annie, my wife, is pregnant.
So there is no way I'm gonna sit in some
Whisperer wormhole while you're out...
I don't know. Saving some shithole of a home that's not worth saving.
- Negan, don't. - Actually, he's right.
Maybe Hilltop isn't worth saving. Those people are.
This fight that I'm in, that I started with Hornsby,
it's not gonna end until I end it.
And I got no doubt you will.
But I also got no doubt that you are firmly
in the crosshairs of this Lance asshole, so...
- So, I'm coming with you. - No. I'll finish it.
- Maggie, we can help fight. - No. Please.
I need you to stay here, with Hershel, with those others.
Keep them away from Hilltop and safe until this is over.
He doesn't exactly trust me, you know?
But I'm starting to.
You saved him, at Riverbend.
Whatever else happens,
and whatever else has happened, I will never forget that.
You have big balls, Maggie Rhee.
I got you, and I got your boy.
Annie.
He'll be waiting for you when this is done.
- I promise you that. - Thank you.
Shit. If that ain't a sign from the man upstairs...
- You at the second location? - Clearing that now.
Finish. Then head back.
Copy that, sir. We'll head back.
One last sweep, then home.
All right. Okay. I'll lead.
Keep them surrounded.
Flanking left. Cover me.
Moving up. Cover me. Cover me.
Watch that left. Watch that left.
- Where's Hornsby? - Screw you.
It's your choice.
Maybe 10 miles out.
He said he wanted to... Said he wanted to clear the field.
- Clear the field? - Leave only allies behind.
Maggie.
Romano, are you there?
He ain't here anymore.
Move. Now!
And when this world fell,
we gathered up the scattered pieces and we put them back together again.
It wasn't easy, and we faltered at times.
But we found a reason to live,
when everything outside these walls was dead.
Max?
You okay? You seem far away.
No. I'm good. I'm right here.
Max, if you're having a bad day, you can tell me.
I do get it, you know? Always having to be strong.
Never show any emotion.
If we can't show that to each other, who can we show it to?
I appreciate it, Pamela. You know I do. But I am really okay.
Oh, before I forget, Accounting sent over the Founder's Day budget.
- There's a $50,000 surplus. - Wow, that's great.
I was gonna suggest something, if you're open to it.
How about starting a scholarship fund for less fortunate families?
I put together a proposal. We could... Is that okay?
Of course. I love your out-of-the-box thinking,
but any extra funds go right back into the event.
It's our biggest day of the year.
Sure. I understand.
You really should get going. You've got that five o'clock dinner.
Yes. Thank you.
I don't know what I'd do without you, Max.
You're leaving soon, too, right?
Right behind you.
Hey.
I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you.
No, Sebastian. Hi. You didn't.
Is there something that I can help you with?
Yes. Is my mom pissed at me?
'Cause I keep asking for her, and then, nothing, so...
- It's just been a hectic afternoon. - I got to talk to her.
So if you could just get her for me, Max.
She's actually at a work dinner, but I can get word to her for you.
Get word to her?
Yeah. Yeah. Why don't you go get word to her for me?
Her only child!
That is such bullshit.
I'm really sorry, Sebastian, but I was actually on my way out...
You never stop. Working. Working. Hey.
You just... Oh, God. I mean, you even take it home with you.
No, I got it. It's okay. It's fine.
Always clumsy after one too many afternoon coffees, you know?
Yeah.
It's a poor man's drug.
Caffeine.
No sign of Hornsby.
Asshole always has somebody else do the dirty work.
See if we can recover any of their weapons.
Follow their trail back to their camp, and then we end this.
- On it. You ready, bud? - As ever.
Let's do it.
Marco!
Get down.
No. Marco.
- Go. Go. - Go!
- How many? - Three.
Leah, your 20?
Leah, what the hell was that?
I drew them out. I'm doing this my way.
- Your way got my men killed. - Collateral damage.
I got others fanned out over a 20-mile perimeter.
- We'll find them. - You goddamn better.
His troopers are here. He's got to be close.
- Yeah. - We got walkers, too.
- They set traps for them. - These aren't for them.
What is it?
Leah.
I think we should split up, cover more ground.
- You're sure it was her? - Yes.
Go, please. I'll lead Leah and the others away.
- I am not gonna leave you. - I will not risk losing you, too.
We can handle ourselves, Maggie, okay?
We'll draw them away, too,
and then when everyone's safe, we'll just go meet up with the others.
I'll find you. Go.
Tyler Davis is on this list.
And the woman Rosita tried to help out during the heist is on here too.
- I counted 200 or more. - What about these numbers?
They look like codes, maybe coordinates.
So, you think this is about where they're hiding people?
Why don't we write about that?
No. Not yet. I need proof.
Something this big, this explosive, we need a key to crack the code.
Until we have that, I'll write about Sebastian's heist
and hang it around Pamela's neck.
I mean, when everyone finds out that she's not on their side,
they're gonna question everything about this place.
Hence the aforementioned uprising.
No. Hey, hey, hey. It's okay.
I thought we could use help, so I told him to come.
- Hey. - Sorry I'm late.
Trying to round up a few more for the cause.
Geez.
I told him we needed more people to get the article out.
And I got a whole network ready and willing to ride at dawn.
We're doing this?
Let's ride.
I have waited for this moment for a long time.
I know what you want.
I wanted it myself for a long time.
You can't kill me. That would be too easy.
If that was what you wanted, you would have done it already.
You want me to suffer, feel everything that you felt,
all the pain,
'cause somewhere inside you, you think that'll take away your pain.
It won't.
You're wrong. It's not just you.
By the time I'm done,
everyone you love will be dead.
Then I guess that makes us even. I took your family, you take mine.
Nature has a way of taking care of these things.
It's not nature or fate. It's us.
I killed your people because it was what I wanted.
This is what you want, Leah.
Go ahead.
You want it, so do it.
Go on.
They're in there.
Get up.
TROOPER 1: Sir, are you okay?
TROOPER 2: Let it go. On the other side.
TROOPER 1: Who's my backup here? Hold your fire!
Now, we take it all.
