How you doing out there, Russell?
Got 'em in formation.
We'll see you at the rendezvous.
Yeah, you sure will, pal.
How are we gonna get them to PADRE?
It's alright. We've got it covered.
It's an island.
We can't just walk them to the gates.
Who said anything about walking?
Russell came through.
Figured out the perfect way to get them there.
You just wait till we catch up with him.
And then?
And then we'll finally have a home.
Mom. She pulled loose.
We need to tighten the ropes.
Oh, she's fine.
She's not gonna hurt us.
You know, when we get to PADRE, she's gonna be the one
to make Madison pay for everything she's done.
What's wrong?
Why does Mom have to kill Madison?
Well, you know why.
She's Alicia's mother.
She put the thinking in her head that got people killed.
We can't let what happened to Mom happen to anyone else.
I know all that.
So, what's wrong?
This.
Your necklace?
Victor said it belonged to Alicia.
She-- She killed Mom.
Why would you want me to wear her necklace?
Do you know how many St. Christopher's medallions
there are?
But Victor said--Well, Victor's mistaken.
She gave it to me when she died.
And she made me promise
that I would give it to you to keep you safe.
Which is what I've been doing ever since.
What the hell? What the...
Dad, look out!
Dad, Dad, wake up!
Wake up! Wake...
Dad? Dad?
Dad, wake up.
You've-- You've been out for hours.
Oh, what happened?
We-- We went over an embankment.
I think you ran over some-- some kind of trap.
What trap?
Uh, I don't-- I don't know.
I'm pinned to the seat.
Where's my gun?
It got lost when we crashed.
I can't find it anywhere.
Oh, God.
Oh, shit.
Come on.
We-- We have to catch up to Russell.
Okay.
You can do it.
Ahh!
Tracy.
- Dad, Dad, please. - I can't do it.
I can't do it. No.
Dad, Dad, please.
Look...
You got to get out of here.
I need you to find Russell, okay?
I'll get you the coordinates.
No. No. I'm-- I'm not leaving you here.
You have to. Why?
'Cause this is everything we've fought for.
And if you don't make it to PADRE, then all of this,
everything that I've done, it won't mean anything.
I don't want to live in that place
if I can't live in it with you.
I'm going to find help.
To keep you safe.
Like she told you to do for me.
Go, Tracy. Go.
I'll come back for you.
And-- And then we'll do what we said.
We'll-- We'll make PADRE our home.
Together.
Madison, do you copy?
Shit.
Madison, answer me.
Please.
Tell me where you are.
I can't do it, Victor.
Why not?
'Cause if I do, you'll try and stop me.
There was a time you'd have thanked me for such a thing.
Enough people have died because of me.
I can't put the rest of you at risk.
The rest is not that many, Madison.
What are you talking about?
It's just me and our newly found friends of Alicia here.
The rest retreated to the island to escape the herd.
All of you should do the same.
I can't let you do this alone.
I'm in a tank loaded with ammo and guns.
I don't need anybody else.
Madison, please.
It's like I told you before, Victor--
Unlike you, I don't have anyone left to disappoint.
I need to do this so you don't have to.
Then you can build PADRE into what Alicia would have wanted.
This won't end well, Madison.
You think it'll just be this one thing.
But then you'll realize you can't stop.
I learned it the hard way. At the Tower.
There was just always one more thing
that I needed to do to keep it safe, and before I knew it,
I was the thing people needed to be protected from.
Please, Madison.
There's another way.
Don't shoot.
What are you doing here? Where's Troy?
He's hurt.
Bullshit. It's true.
He crashed his truck.
Why didn't Russell help him?
He couldn't.
Yeah? Why not?
Because he's leading the rest of the herd.
Where are they? Where's the herd?
I don't know.
Okay, well, who does know?
Dad, but he's gonna die if he doesn't get help.
Is that why you're here?
I thought I could use your radio.
Maybe somebody might hear me.
Where's his truck? Where'd he crash?
Why should I tell you?
You're not gonna help him.
And you're not gonna use my radio.
So you're kind of running out of options, aren't you?
Down an embankment.
About a mile east of here.
But I just came from there.
You'd never be able - to get to him in this. - I'll walk.
Hey!
No. Sit down.
What are you doing?!
Change of plans, Victor.
I'm leaving you the MRAP.
Tracy's inside, but she won't be a problem.
I'll send you the coordinates.
Where are you going?
To kill Troy.
No. No!
What happened to no one's gone until they're gone?
I heard you outside. You--
You told Victor you want him to build PADRE
into what Alicia wanted.
I do.
If you did, you'd give my dad a second chance.
No. He doesn't deserve one.
I thought everyone did.
Isn't that what Alicia believed?
If you believed it, you'd help my dad.
The way he helped her?
Troy, do you copy?
Russell, I'm here.
I'm picking up your stragglers.
Where the hell are you?
I'm in the same place you left me.
And from the looks of it, I don't think
I'm going anywhere.
Russell, will you promise me something?
Anything.
You know, whatever happens, I want you to find Tracy,
and I want you to make sure she gets there.
I want you to promise me.
I promise.
She'll finally have a home.
We all will.
We're gonna take that island.
No, they won't. And neither will you, Troy.
Wait. Please.
No! No.
No.
You had no right!
She was supposed to kill you.
I'll bury you next to her.
You really think killing me
is gonna help you build that island?
I know it will.
You killed my daughter.
I'll do what I have to do to make sure her memory
doesn't die.
You want your people to believe the same thing that she did.
When that's exactly the thing that got her killed.
It can still work.
How?
If people like you and me are no longer in this world.
Wait, wait, wait.
You can't kill me.
You can't.
You want to stop that herd?
I'm the only person who knows where Russell's leading it.
My people will figure it out.
No, they won't.
Not in time.
So tell me how to stop them.
I will, but I-I need you do something for me.
Tracy.
I need to see my daughter.
I need to tell her something.
Tell her now.
No. No.
I need to see her.
Nice try, asshole.
Let me bury my wife
and then bring me to my daughter,
and I'll take you to Russell.
What could you possibly have to tell her that's so important?
It just is.
How do I know you'll hold up your end of the deal?
You don't.
Just like I don't know that you won't kill me
as soon as I tell you where Russell is.
Alright.
I'll take you to her.
And then?
What happens to me?
I'll do whatever it takes to protect PADRE.
But at least you get to see your daughter one more time.
Are you at the MRAP yet, Victor?
Nearly. Why?
I'm coming back. I'm bringing Troy.
He's gonna lead us to the herd if he gets to see Tracy.
Gonna have a hard time walking with that thing.
Hold still. This might hurt.
My mom used to look for a little bit of good
every time she went out into the world.
She would have liked this.
I haven't killed...
since after the plane.
Just seeing that tree, I...
I-I just...
I didn't want to go back there.
What are you doing here?
Waiting for your father.
Is this some kind of trick?
In exchange for safe deliverance to you,
Troy has agreed to tell us where the herd is heading.
You're lying.
I'm not.
Whether your father is remains to be seen.
Taking PADRE is everything to him.
Why would he give that up?
I suppose we'll find out.
She's gonna kill him.
As soon as he gives her what she wants.
Why would you say that?
Because she told me.
She said he didn't deserve a second chance.
How many of those tapes have you watched?
I don't know.
Why?
Because the more you watch, the more you'll see
Madison gave a lot of people second chances.
Whether they deserved them or not.
Like who?
Like me.
Madison never gave up on me.
Neither did Alicia.
That's not her anymore.
It is. She just needs to be reminded of that.
And you think you can do that?
We're certainly gonna try.
Madison. Madison, where are you?
We'll be there shortly.
Just taking care of something.
Must be nice, getting to bury the person you love.
Alicia can rot on her feet forever for all I care.
Keep talking like that, I'll put that branch back in you.
My wife's dead because of her.
Yeah.
Why?
Huh.
It's not important.
It's important enough that you killed my daughter over it.
Well, Serena was pregnant.
We were still looking for a place to live
since Mexico, and...
...then she got bit.
Are you gonna tell me that was Alicia's fault?
Nope.
Alicia's the one that saved her.
How?
We put a, uh, SOS on the radio.
She was the last person we ever thought would respond.
But she did.
And she helped you.
Yeah. I mean, it surprises you.
Especially after how we parted at Brokejaw.
Serena was bit on the arm just like Alicia, so...
...she knew where to cut.
You know, how to do it.
And then what?
Well, and then when, uh...
...when Serena was out of the woods,
she just, uh, got back in the MRAP and helped more people.
Yeah, I'm having a hard time
seeing how this led to you killing her.
Yeah.
Well, Serena changed after that.
Alicia changed her.
She wanted to be just like her.
Yeah? Was she?
Yeah.
She tried to help as many people as she could.
And then one day, she got a call.
An SOS on the radio.
Some guy said he needed help.
When Serena showed up...
he shot her.
He shot her, he robbed her,
took everything she owned...
...and then just left her for dead.
Now, I went looking for her,
and I found her holed up in a strip mall.
Oh, it was too late to save her by then.
She'd, uh-- I don't know.
She'd lost too much blood.
And I held her while she died, Madison.
I listened to her weep.
She told me she'd never get to watch her daughter grow up.
Because she allowed herself to get wrapped up
in Alicia's bullshit.
So I made her a promise.
And what was that?
I promised I'd never let Tracy hurt the way her mom did.
Yep.
I'd never let my daughter believe the same bullshit
that Alicia put in Serena's head.
And that's why you killed Alicia.
Yep.
I told you.
I made a promise.
Uhh!
What the hell?
Troy.
Troy!
Oh!
Shit!
Today just isn't your day, Troy.
Yours, either.
Hello, Lark.
Welcome back.
How do you like my new digs, huh?
Doesn't quite measure up to what we had at PADRE,
but it came in handy when we needed
to get supplies from the cargo ship.
Until we ran out of gas.
Who the hell are you?
What do you know about PADRE?
I am PADRE.
Or I was.
Belonged to me and my sister.
Till Lark got her killed.
Shrike got herself killed.
Would've done the same thing to me, but Blue Jay spared me.
What do you want from us, Crane?
PADRE is my home.
I built it. Oh.
I've been looking for a way to get it back.
And today I found it.
I heard your conversation on the radio.
I'm prepared to give you what you want.
Yeah?
What's the catch?
Well, you can start by telling your friends
to call off their dogs.
Why would I do that?
Because once I've taken PADRE back,
I will let you and your daughter live there.
He's lying.
He's got more of a chance with me than you, Lark.
You think after everything you've done,
we're just gonna roll over and give you the keys?
You won't, but he might.
So, what do you say?
Do we have a deal?
Go on.
Call them off.
Strand, we're on a barge by the docks.
Crane's got us--
You okay, boss?
She should have killed you when she had the chance.
Yeah. Maybe so.
I guess this is what happens when you show people mercy.
This is the kind of bullshit my sister
and I were trying to save people from.
Okay.
You know what?
Change of plans.
You can tell your friends to call off their army in person.
You're gonna take us to the herd.
And if you try anything en route,
I will kill you both.
Get the truck ready.
Yes, sir.
Madison, do you copy?
We're at the barge. Where are--
So, what changed, Lark?
Last time I saw you, you risked your life
to reunite Wren with Nightingale.
But now you're using a father against his own daughter?
Sound familiar?
Whatever happened to "family is worth fighting for"?
It still is.
I'm just fighting like you guys.
Uhh! Aah!
Get down!
Let's go!
Stay with me!
Madison!
Let's go.
Luciana, let's go!
Over here.
Victor, we're about 3 miles east of the barge.
Do you copy?
We're on our way.
Madison, can we have... Victor?
- ...coordinates? - Victor?
He can't hear us. We have to get to higher ground.
We?
We're not going anywhere.
We tracked you here for a reason.
Yeah?
And what reason's that?
To do to you what you did to my people at the truck stop.
And Ofelia.
And Charlie.
And everyone you've ever hurt.
- This ends here, Troy. - No, it doesn't.
- You can't kill him. - Why not?!
'Cause he's the only one who knows where the herd is.
We can find it.
No, you can't.
Not without me.
And we're gonna believe this?
Unless you want PADRE overrun by 5,000 dead,
then yeah.
He's right. We have a deal.
He's the only shot we have at finding the herd.
We need the MRAP to get there.
Find Victor. We'll meet you on the road.
Relax. It's for your cuffs.
No. Leave it.
Can't have him running off until we get what we need.
He's gonna say whatever he has to say
in order to get what he wants.
My eyes are wide open.
When this is all over,
I'll make sure he doesn't hurt anyone else.
Well...
good.
'Cause if you don't, I will.
You know, I wasn't gonna take them to the herd.
You know, Crane and those guys.
I was taking them in the wrong direction.
Why would you do that?
'Cause my deal was with you.
Not them.
I'll kill you quick as he would.
I don't think you would.
Why?
'Cause I don't think that's who you are.
You don't know who I am.
Well, maybe.
But I know what it is to believe in something.
And how hard it is to let it go.
We have to turn back.
Why?
We can get across that.
No.
Something's pulling them down.
It must be like quicksand in there.
If that breaks, we're both dead.
Victor, do you copy? Victor?
Found you.
Come on.
There's nowhere to run, Lark!
Come on. We have to go.
Come on.
Uh!
Crane!
Don't be impatient.
They'll get to you soon.
Or that mud will suck you down first.
Pull us out, Crane.
I can still lead you to the herd.
I thought your deal was with me.
What are you waiting for?
I thought I needed PADRE back to make up
for what happened to my sister.
I was wrong.
After what you did to her,
this is exactly what you deserve.
What's he talking about?
She didn't tell you?
She let Shrike get bit.
Over and over.
Her and Nightingale.
Just stood and let it happen.
I just want to get to my daughter.
See?
This is exactly why Shrike and I were right.
People need to be protected from themselves.
Especially when it comes to their kids.
Oh, you're full of shit.
Why do you think we saved you from that stadium? Hmm?
Me and Shrike-- Yeah, we, uh, heard you on the radio.
That speech you made to your kids. Uh...
No one's gone until they're gone.
Inspiring stuff.
And then, when we found you in that water truck...
gasping for air, surrounded by Carrion...
...we didn't hesitate to pull you out.
You know why?
Because if you were willing to die for them,
we knew we could get you to do just about anything.
You thought that those beliefs were gonna save your kids...
but in the end, that's what got them killed.
Hey! Over here!
Hey, come on! Come on!
What the hell?
Over here! Keep coming!
Shit.
No! No!
Aah!
I'm sorry, Madison.
I really--
That's not gonna get us out of here.
You know, we're--
we're really not that different, you and I.
I'm nothing like you.
The northwest corner of the swamp.
That's where Russell's leading the dead.
You're lying.
No. No, I'm not.
He's hoping the current
will sweep them to the island's shore.
Why are you telling me that? Huh?
'Cause maybe I don't deserve a second chance...
...but Tracy does.
It doesn't matter.
They're not gonna find us in time.
I'm sorry.
I didn't want it to end like this.
Truth is, PADRE's better off without people like us.
Madison. Madison, come back.
Stay with us.
It's alright.
You found them.
You saved me.
Daniel and Luciana found us.
But we're not the ones who saved you.
Troy?
I grabbed a root.
Pulled us out.
Then used Crane's ax to snap the cuffs.
Why did you do that?
'Cause I wasn't telling you the truth.
About what?
Serena.
I said that she regretted following Alicia.
But that's-- that's not what happened.
What did, Troy?
Well, after Alicia helped Serena...
...she gave her this.
Said it would bring us luck.
But-- But you-- you told me that...
I know. I know.
I lied to you.
Serena made me promise to keep what Alicia believed in alive
so I'd always know what I was fighting for, but...
...I, uh-- I broke that promise, Madison.
You're such a liar.
I'm not lying.
Why should we believe that?
I told you that I knew what it was to believe in something
and how hard it was to let it go.
I told you that because I saw it in Serena's eyes
when she was dying.
More fiction.
She never let go of what she believed in,
even though it got her killed.
Back there, when we were going under...
...something in your eyes, it was the look of someone
who was gonna die believing in nothing.
I couldn't-- I couldn't let that happen.
No, not for your sake.
Not for hers.
Look, I...
I didn't do what Serena asked.
I-I didn't-- I didn't keep it alive.
But, uh, maybe I could.
If you gave me a second chance.
Like Alicia did.
That's what you wanted to tell her.
I told you before-- He's gonna say
whatever he needs to say in order to get what he wants.
Let's find out.
You said you'd take us to the herd.
It's time to hold up your end of the deal.
♪ Steamroller, midnight shoulder ♪
♪ What they been sayin' must be true ♪
♪ Red-hot mama, velvet charmer ♪
We're here, Troy.
Rest of the herd's caught up.
I just wish you could see it.
I do see it.
And you might want to get down.
♪ Now you're messin' with a ♪
♪ A son of a bitch ♪
♪ Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch ♪
Get down!
♪ A son of a bitch ♪
Gonna take a lot more than that.
Yeah. We know.
We know how to herd, too.
Let's go!
Hey, walkers! Over here! Walkers!
No!
Over here!
Come on!
Deep breath. Deep breath.
How is she?
I think she's got fluid in her lungs.
We need to get her back to the island.
We broke up the herd.
Are you sure?
We did it, Madison.
We need to get her back to PADRE.
And Troy?
He did what he said he would do.
He stopped the herd.
We need to give him the benefit of the doubt.
You want to let him on the island?
How can you possibly trust him after everything he's done?
Because that's what you do when you give a person a second chance.
You just want to feel better about yourself
after all the horrible things you've done.
He has more than made up for the man he used to be.
So has Troy.
I'm sure Alicia thought the same thing.
What if he's telling the truth?
What if he's changed? What then?
Are you willing to risk that?
It worked. It kept you safe.
Yeah.
Yeah, it did.
Here.
You did.
You did what you said.
You found us a home.
And you kept me safe.
I'm, um...
I'm sorry I lied to you for so long.
Tracy, getting ready to head out.
Will you help the others load up so I can talk to your dad?
Okay.
I've been thinking.
Yeah? What about?
Alicia.
How she gave you a second chance.
Despite everything.
This is all I have left of her.
It doesn't have to be.
I'll do everything in my power to make sure
I'm worthy of the second chance that she gave me.
And everyone on that island, too.
Things have changed.
You have to believe me.
That's just it, Troy.
I don't.
No!
Madison! What did you do?
I'm done with second chances.
Troy was right.
That's what got Alicia killed.
That's why I had to do this.
If I didn't, I'd be putting you all at risk.
This is how we survive.
This is how PADRE survives.
You have to fight f-for Tracy
like you fought for Nick and Alicia.
Why would I do anything you say?
'Cause she's not my daughter.
No. You said your wife was pregnant when Alicia helped you.
She was.
But she died before the baby could be born.
No!
If Serena's not Tracy's mother, who is?
Alicia.
I-I took her child to make up f-for what I lost.
No. No!
No! No!
No.
Where's Tracy?
Where is she?
Tracy?!
