Previously on Dead City.

What was that drawing?

The one with the fallen skybridge.

You are nothing without me.

E .D.!

Dom's dead.

Unuse me.

Jesus H. Christ.

You've never really been there. How is Ginny? Is she okay?

King Francis Theater.

It's the only place I can think of that Herschel might go if he thought she was

still alive.

I need you to tell me where my son is.

Right now.

Don't you bullshit me.

I'm not playing your games.

Look around.

Do you see him?

He has to be here.

Where else would he be if you went looking for her?

I wouldn't know.

You're lying.

Tell me where he is.

I'll cut off tiny pieces of you.

One by one.

Starting with your toe.

And maybe you...

I found what I could.

She's still breathing okay.

It means her body's still fighting the infection, I think.

Once she's better, we can... Once she's better, she's going straight home.

Found this in an old donation box.

Thank you.

My first wife, Lucille, she, uh, she had cancer.

I was basically her stay -at -home nurse, you know.

I would wake her up every morning and get her cleaned up, get her dressed.

Towards the end there, I was having to run machines and monitors.

You know what intubation is?

Yeah, me neither.

Until I had to figure out a ventilator.

Sounds like she was lucky to have you.

No. See, I was a selfish piece of shit.

I failed her.

But God, man, he gave me a second chance, you know, with a smart,

sexy, take -no -shit, grab -me -by -the -balls kind of gal, you know what I'm

talking about.

Yeah.

Annie.

brightest, mischievous grin you've ever seen.

And when he laughed, oh my God, he could wait.

I failed her.

I failed them both.

But God, he keeps giving me second chances.

That's for burns. I think it probably wouldn't help but I figured where the

did you get it?

This yours yeah, you said you were looking for medical stuff, so what else

got oh I'm not a medicine

What

Nothing, just... I got all this at a hospital, but what I was really looking

was pills.

There's a story. It's been going around for a while. All right, let me hear it.

When shit was getting bombed out, the city was kind of crazy. Some hospital

nurse was going around grabbing up all the meds she could find, stashed them in

the third floor operating room.

Old shit's better than no shit, so... You're talking like antibiotics, yeah?

Yeah, sure, whatever you're looking for, but it's just a story.

What hospital?

Lots of people have gone looking, but no one's ever come back out. What

hospital?

Bellevue.

The elevator still works.

Instead of transporting freight, it's more of a lookout.

He was much nicer from above.

Then you figured he would come here.

Well, the dama asked me to restore it for him.

Provide him with his own personal space.

Novi dan, novi pochetak.

New day, new beginning.

Was that before or after you cut off his toe?

That was for her.

And you just did whatever she asked you to?

I wasn't the only one.

When she explained the reasons for needing the toe, your son, he gave it to

willingly.

He let me cut the toe.

You're tired.

You need sleep.

I'm good.

There is another place.

A safe house.

What kind of a safe house?

It's a place only the dumb man I knew about, but I showed it to him once. She

had told him to go there.

If the shit ever hit the fan, as you say.

Not that it would be easy.

And what does that mean?

We'll see when we get there.

You sure about this?

Yeah, look, just check her lungs, her vitals.

And if she wakes up, she is not going to know where she is or who you are, so

you be ready.

Very likely, she is going to kick your ass a little.

Oh.

Okay.

Why are you doing this?

Well, you just asked me. No, no, I mean...

Why are you helping me?

Why are you helping her?

I don't have a lot of experience of the

world, of other people.

I'm sure you could tell.

I was 10 when it happened.

But I don't remember anything from before.

Or anyone.

It's just a big blank.

I guess even if I don't remember, it's nice to remember.

Top floor has been furnished with food, water, weapons.

The bottom floors are insurmountable.

So, in order to get up, we must traverse the bridge.

You set all these traps and you don't remember where they're at?

It's a lot to remember.

Yeah, too much, it seems like.

Careful.

This one will be taking a little more effort.

They call it the fear of heights.

It's not really about the heights.

It's the fear of the compulsion to jump.

I've always wondered, is it genetic?

Or is it shaped by the events of life?

If you've lost someone, everyone,

it's only natural.

I want to follow them down into the darkness.

End the pain.

Or maybe, just see them again.

I did say, keep still.

You're telling me that my son got past all this?

You underestimate him.

Thank you.

Yeah. Yeah.

I feared the problem was the diode, but when I discovered it was

the flywheel, it was only a matter of repairing the broken cogs.

You're wondering how I knew to do this.

No.

When I was a child, no one believed in this path for me.

Engineering, science.

But I myself had trouble believing.

And still this way.

Too dependent on others.

But my mother...

She believed.

She said to me, I

knew you.

She was my protector.

Like you and your son.

You must have had a good mother.

She died when I was young.

Which sent my dad to the bottle.

My mother never left Croatia.

Perhaps after you and I are finished, I will make the long trip home.

Maybe my mother and I will meet again.

Okay. Here we go.

Ready?

Okay, it's okay. Go.

Good.

Okay?

Ew! Ew!

Just like that

I'm so sorry.

You got me up in the morning.

You washed me.

It wasn't enough.

You got me dressed.

You undressed me.

It wasn't enough.

It's rude to stare, you know.

I do.

I failed you.

What do I do?

You said this was a safe house.

You'd lied to me.

Yes.

I did.

But you knew this place.

You set all those traps if you've ever been here before.

Was this a fucking game to you?

Was this a fucking game to you?

Why did you bring... Why?

Why?

For sake of life.

That's why you brought me here.

Because you're too much of a fucking coward to kill yourself.

You needed me to do it?

I still have to be here.

You have to.

My mother left when I was 12 years old.

I woke up one morning and she was gone.

I looked for her for years and this fate would have it.

I found her two days after she had passed.

She had been living in Vrapce.

Alone.

Ten kilometers from the house.

So after I ended up on the island, all I wanted was to

join her.

So I climbed up here in the first place and trapped the maze.

That was all done by others.

How many times did I tell myself, jump?

But instead, I kept wandering the streets until a candle in the window of

theater drew me in.

I don't blame the dama.

She read my mind, spoke it back to me.

It was her gift.

She saw pain.

And she knew exactly.

This was all I could find.

Listen.

People are going to be coming soon.

And they are coming to kill me, but not just me. They will kill everyone in the

church. Then we should go. We should... We can't go.

I can't go.

She stays here just like this.

It's her best chance for recovery.

It's okay.

I know how to protect her now.

I know where I got it wrong before.

Back in the day when I built the sanctuary to protect my people,

I showed mercy.

But now, now I'm just going to line them all up.

I'm gonna kill them all.

You're the Baratze, right?

All you got work to do.

You're not coming?

No.

No, this is for you and your son.

You are lucky.

Novi dan, novi pocheta.

Mom? I'm glad you're here.

I was hoping you'd see our signal.

I'm so sorry about how everything went. I never meant for it to happen like

that.

I know.

Me too. I mean, I was mad.

I was really angry.

But now that you're here, it's all going to be okay now.

Everything's going to work out.

I was hoping we'd get to meet.

This is about Negan. I have to finish it.

The show's about to start.

Amy. Maybe.

Mighty. Mom.

I need you to tell me where my son is.

All good old tiny pieces of you, starting with your toe.

The end of season one, the Dama presents Negan with Herschel's cut -off toe, and

we understand that it's being used as leverage, and then we see that there was

deeper relationship that developed there, that it wasn't just torture.

And she explained the reasons for needing the toe of your son.

He gave it to her, winning me.

Herschel lets the Croat cut his toe off because he's making a promise to the

Dama. It's like a trusting, bonding kind of thing.

I supply a lot of things that I sensed that he was missing from Maggie, and

gives me a way in right away.

This is really a scene about Maggie and realizing that's how connected to the

Dama her son became. That's how safe.

He felt with the Dama that he was willing to make that kind of sacrifice

protect whatever project the Dama and Herschel are working on, which means

it's not happening with Maggie. She's his mom. That's what that moment is

about.

Isn't this a nice surprise?

Lisa is so good at what she does. The fact that we get her shocks me

The big reason why we were all excited for her to come on the show is because

she does not hold back.

And she fully embraces playing the bad guy and doing all these sort of like

sinister, wonderful things. The thing that intrigued me the most about her was

that in this weird world, she has so much power. And she's a killer.

That adds spice to any role.

207 is an episode where Negan goes on a real journey of self -exploration. So to

me, it was important that he had to kind of face the people who he feels like he

let down in life. And it all started with Lucille.

Lucille.

I think this shows kind of the strain that Negan's under and kind of how...

Duffy gets towards the end there.

To face her and confront her in his own way, even if it's only a hallucination,

it felt crucial to his emotional journey.

I'm sorry.

I am so sorry.

You got me dressed.

You undressed me.

It wasn't enough.

A lot of the apology has to do with he feels responsible for her dying. And

apologizing for that. I think he's apologizing for the man that he became

she died. He went off on this warpath.

And that's good. It kept him alive. But it also turned him into a monster for a

while.

It was really cool to have Hillary on set.

She's his real -life wife. They were really emotional together in the scene,

then they'd cut, and then they'd be these, like, goofballs.

And it was fun to see the two of them, actual husband and wife, and then fake

husband and wife. One, I think that everybody looks at her, and they see how

great she is, and it makes up for a lot of my bulls**t and how difficult I can

be, because she's so the opposite of me. They're all like, oh, okay.

She's like the good side, you know?

as well as Lucille being that for Negan. And I just love her, so.

It's rude to stare, you know.

We've been talking about Annie for two years, and he spends the better part of

this year sacrificing everything to protect Annie and his son Joshua. So it

important at some point this year that they interact.

I don't know what to do.

do i do i got to work with her on the same day that i worked with hillary and

i had my two wives and it was one of my favorite days of the season to shoot it

was so nice just to have her back it reminded me of the last season of

dead which of course i have you know very fond feelings of and she's not dead

yet so let's let's see if we can get her back some more
