Previously Undead City. We

turned on that light. They are

here because of us. Can't we

give her something more for the

pain? That was the last of our

morphine. I've just been

thinking about Ramon, Chucho.

Marisol. This is

the best that any of us have

ever had at Maggie. We have a

pantry full of food. We're gonna

need some solid between us and

the lockers. Now, see the issue?

Hear this. I am not in your

community. The DMA killed

herself. All right, well, I

guess she made her choice.

When this happened. A few days

back. I've been up and down from

Maryland looking for somewhere

safe, Scavenging, trading what I

can. Saw the Statue of Liberty

lit up, decided to take a

chance. Definitely an inversion

screen. Does it hurt when I move

it like this? Damn it. Any

chance you got something for the

pain? I was gonna ask you the

same thing. Cleaned ourselves

out a few weeks ago. Come on.

Whatever you got, I'll trade you

for it. I got this. I got

this whiskey. Saving it for a

special occasion, but. Holy

shit. Johnnie Walker balloon.

You know what this was worth

before shit went down? Where'd

you even get this? We came

across this cabin upstate near

Beacon. There was this woman.

You never did this as a kid?

No, I can't say that it did.

Luis and I spoke to Chris and

his wife separately. Their story

does check out. Apparently,

this woman can get her hands on

anything as long as we have

something of value to offer in

return. Which we do. All right,

well, my job is keeping

everybody here safe. Maggie, we

need medical supplies. Everyone

here will be safer once we have

those. And you're sending our

only doctor away? Terrence said

that we got another refugee

today with medical training.

That's four in the last week.

So, yes, technically, Luis is

our only doctor, but he's also

the only one who can make sure

that the meds we get in trade

are legit. He needs to go. And I

need you to make sure he's safe.

So she calls herself the

traitor,

Turns the car into an airplane

thanks to fly, but only if you

do it, too.

And he said this trader had been

to Newfoundland and back, like,

after things went to shit.

You grab me some of that jerky?

You know what? Sounds gross,

but is actually kind of amazing.

Me and Renata used to cut up

jerky into little bits and

sprinkle it over our Mac and

cheese. Talking about hillbilly

Hamburger helper.

Well, having both windows down,

it clearly just burned more gas.

Mm.

Got some of the old New Babylon

vehicles stashed up ahead.

It's funny with the bridge is

gone. I don't know.

I guess at some point I stopped

dreaming I'd ever step foot off

that island. It's good to know

dreams can still come true.

Mission's the mission. Gotta

enjoy the ride.

It.

Now all this construction is

just bringing more walkers.

Maggie knows that, right? She

also knows now that your home

and hospital are safer. And once

we finish up this place, the

pantry will be, too. See, you

and Maggie go way back, huh? Is

that why you volunteered?

Volunteered? More like nagged

into submission was. I'd rather

see things done done right than

watch monkeys juggle chainsaws.

No offense. When she made her

pitch to move us on the bricks,

she told us we'd be safer.

Better off. Wall's a good start.

For safer, but better off. Hey,

man, from where I'm sitting,

here, equals food, power there,

dead crops and more moths than

an old nun's clam palace.

Seriously, why would you say

that? Why would you ever put

those words together? If you

think of us right? Looking at

birds. I don't know, I just

always wondered if crabs think

fish can fly because they're

just, you know, looking up at

this. Do crabs think fish can

fly? I really don't know. But I

really like the way your brain

works. What?

Just had. Really been paid a

compliment recently, especially

by a lady. Gracias. Look, Nick

and I know we got shit now,

right? But our numbers are

double what they were a few

weeks ago. We keep letting these

newcomers take all their

resources. I got a family to

worry about, man. All I'm

saying, I'm at 24. By the way,

you gotta take your shoes off to

even count to 19. 24, my ass.

You're 23. I'm at 24. But it's

cool. You're doing great for

You are a sparky little bastard.

Kind of proud of you.

All right, look, I'm just

saying, we're bringing the

walkers. We should get more

hours of electricity, right?

This was the old world. We get

some kind of bonus. Yeah, and if

Maya Buello had three balls,

he'd be a pinball machine.

Excuse me. What?

Sorry, I just didn't know you

had that setting.

Hold him there.

You gotta shut up. Hey,

you keep him distracted over

here. Yep. Hey, guys. Over here.

Hey. Here.

Come on.

Negan. Keith.

I don't think you earn any

bonuses for that one there,

bucky.

Let's move. Halfway.

Everything you did for the

hospital. Add to that your work

protecting the construction

crew, risking your life to save

Fabian. Last empty apartment in

the building. I want you to have

it. Well, my goodness. It must

be Christmas. Negan has been a

good little boy. Apparently.

Cause old Renata Claus has come

right down that chimney. You do

know that I don't to turn down

Maggie's offers to live here. I

know. But I think you've come

around, Negan, just like I've

come around on you. Now, do I

trust you completely? No.

That's gonna take time. But you

have become an asset to us. You

deserve more than you have. You

deserve a home. But if I live

here, I have to live under your

rules. That's right. Just like

everyone else here. And that

does include no killing.

Well, in your case, no more

killing.

I know you murdered the Dama.

She was on a hunger strike. But

when we cleaned out her cell,

she had eaten some of the food

on her tray, which got me

thinking. Why would the Dama

choose to take a bite out of the

tuna casserole and then decide

to kill herself? Well, I don't

know. Have you tried Maggie's

tuna casserole?

You chose death for her.

You broke the rules. But you are

worth something to my community.

To Maggie, who doesn't need to

know what you did, by the way.

What makes you. Do you think I

give a shit what Maggie thinks?

Because if you didn't, you would

have told her honestly. I think

you'd like it here. I mean, we

don't got a stripper pole, but

we got Tai chi. Tai chi.

My only ask, Negan, is that you

follow the same rules as

everyone else. Keys are on the

mantel. Think about it.

You've traveled a good bit since

the outbreak. Yeah. I mean, not

as far some. And they bombed

the city, destroyed the bridges,

level skyscrapers. I figured

that's what it must be like

everywhere. End of the world,

fire and brimstone type shit.

You know, we've been driving for

miles, and everything looks like

it's been untouched. It's like

they only came after us. You

never thought to leave? Never

knew if it was the right time.

Leave too soon,

Those people. You didn't have

to. So we stayed. I don't

know if I ever would have left

the farm if I had the choice.

It was never the land we had to

worry about. It was always the

people. Guess that part's the

same everywhere. Well, yeah, I

guess so. Wait. You grew

up on a farm,

And there he was on top of the

fire truck. Walker's all around

him, scared of him. Wait, wait,

wait, wait, wait. Hold up. He

had a mullet, and you still

trusted him. Hadn't you ever

relied on the kindness of

strangers? I'm from East Harlem,

okay? We trust people we know.

We trust people they know. We

definitely don't fuck with

mullets. Eugene came through

when it counted. Can't ask for

more than that. No.

You and Maggie Rhee have lived a

life. I feel like I have lived a

few. And this.

This is the start of a new one.

For all of us. Difference is,

it's not about who we have to be

anymore. It's about who we want

Yeah.

Amazing. I don't think I've ever

eaten a mulberry. They're really

good, aren't they? We're lucky

we got in this late in the

season. Probably some

raspberries over there.

That must have been someone he

really loved.

Let's get back on the road.

The other day you mentioned a

name. Mary Soul. She was my

wife. I didn't know that you

were married. She always drove.

Said I spent too much time

looking out the window.

When all this started, she just

took off without telling me.

Went looking for her parents.

Never came back. Haven't touched

the wheel since. I'm sorry.

I know she's gone. But I also

don't know. And I never will.

I look at you and Renata. It's

like you found hope in a bottle

for me. For years and years,

the only way I could make it

through my day was to throw my

hope away. But then you said you

were looking forward to looking

forward. I am.

Might even grow me a mullet.

Go to suit. You better believe.

Can I help you? Are you the

traitor?

Must be. We've come to make a

deal. First, we need to know

that you have what we came for.

What have you come for?

I. I run a hospital. Hundreds

rely on us. We're out of

morphine. Suture kits, saline IV

bags, penicillin, antiseptics.

You're gonna have to have

something as valuable as the sun

to get all of that.

We have blueprints for a process

that turn the dead into.

Leave your weapons in the van

and then you may enter.

If this is real, it gets in the

wrong hands. Could be dangerous.

Yeah. Having something rare that

people would kill to have,

that's dangerous. But this is

the start of something else.

Something better for everyone.

You're so generous. But I can

see your fear. You don't want

this trade. You need it.

Self protection. In the end.

Always. I know a

man who used to to work on

rockets. I'll have him vet this.

If it checks out I'll get you

what you need. I'll take your

van. We're not giving you our

van. All you require, how will

it fit on my vehicle? I take

your van one night. And you stay

here one night. A trade. Do you

expect us to stay here unarmed

all night? I'm risking more than

you. Your van isn't worth all I

have. And you could do a lot

worse than spending the night

here. And I warn you, if you're

playing me, I will have

recompense.

That's the deal.

Traitor. We taking bets on

whether she comes back?

Guess we have time to kill.

We need weapons.

Oh, come on. Nobody's that

steady. Guess I just got the

touch.

Okay, Mr. Steady hands,

humor me. If we're really

starting over, who do you want

to be? Someone who

appreciates what he has.

Someone who matters to someone.

This is ridiculous. I whittled a

broomstick, I could stab you.

Never played Jenga against a

surgeon. Oh, man. I know. But I

want to be the man I should have

been for Marisol or Chucho.

Should have been free. But

someone who plants roots,

raises kids, builds something

that lasts.

Sure you weren't a surgeon in

one of your many past lives?

How about you, Maggie Ree?

Hmm? Fresh start.

Who do you wanna be for

so long? I was always

about keeping Herschel safe.

And I don't think he needs that

anymore. So I don't know.

I'm looking for Trader. I have

something for her.

They're fire roasted with sage

honey drizzled on top. It's

Trader's favorite. Try one.

Are you sure you're alone? Sure

am. Name's Gerald. You must

have had something real

important to trade if she left

you here. Mind if I ask what it

is? How do you know that we

didn't kill her? Tip of that

broomstick's clean. So unless

you swept her to death.

How big's your community? Where

is it? Quarter mile through the

trees. 62 of us now, counting

Genevieve's baby. We used to

come up here for a weekend every

fall. Family camp for our

church. Every so called

Christian group that I've come

across has turned out to be more

cult than church. We're worse

than a cult. We're

Presbyterians.

Book of Matthew. By their

fruits, you will know them.

Every good tree bears good

fruit. But a bad tree bears bad

fruit. Chapter 7, verse 17.

First Corinthians, 13 13. And

now these three remain. Faith,

hope and love. But the greatest

of these is love.

What do you think? Cannibal.

Luring us to his lair with

Delicious apples. You don't know

that. They're delicious. I ate

one. That's pretty good.

Okay. Show us your camp.

This is us.

You aren't worried about

attracting the dead? That gate

back there, Shagbark hickory,

runs the whole perimeter. Solid

as they come. We haven't had a

breach since we built it.

Grandpa. And this.

This is my granddaughter,

Maylene. Maylene, these are my

new friends, Maggie and Luis.

Are you guys coming to the party

tonight? Party? Every full moon

we have a little celebration.

Plenty of food. I'd love it if

you could join us. Maylene,

A half hour ago we had you tied

in a chair. We had a rough

start. But if traitor trusts you

enough to let you into her home,

why shouldn't we? Besides,

what's the point of having

something if you're not willing

to share it? I think that's

exactly right.

Come this way.

You can turn the debt into fuel.

I'm not sure we'd have anything

worthy of this to give you in

return. We don't want anything

for it. The people who had it

before us, they were scared.

They kept it to themselves.

And we want to do things

differently. We have everything

we've ever needed right here.

Fish in the lake, geese

overhead. We even found an old

apple orchard. Not a 45 minute

walk from here. What you're

talking about would change

everything. For the better,

right? Maybe. But maybe not.

The dead, they're dangerous.

And those old things, TVs,

radios, phones. Just noise,

places to hide.

Up here, we found connection.

We let go of what was found out.

Who we wanted to be.

So thank you. Truly, your

offer's generous. We're content

with the life we've built. We

just want to help. And help us

celebrate a special night.

The full moon has always been a

beacon. A reminder that even in

our darkest nights, God light

returns. We can't know what

waits for us or who will enter

our lives. But every 29 and a

half days, she rises in all her

glory.

Let us pray. Lord, we thank you

for this food and this cup. May

it be to us, the body and blood

of Christ, feeding us in faith,

hope and love. Amen.

Now let's eat, drink, and be

glad for another full moon

together. Time to party.

Mulberry wine.

Your favorite.

Come on.

I can't remember the last time I

danced like that. I know.

Closest I came, I think, is my

dad's harvest festivals. Yeah,

it was like he told them every

year to thank God for the crops.

Yeah. Food hayride, dancing in

the barn. Except I was making

out with Danny Pruitt. Behind

the barn. Guess I missed out.

Well, we had block parties of

fire hikers. Same thing, right?

Same.

There.

Warmed up, right?

What? No, it's. It's nothing.

I could say it. That's like a

guy dodging potholes, you know?

No. I just forgot what this

feels like. What what feels

like? To fly.

You never told me.

Never told you what? Who you

would want to be.

Someone who stops wearing death

like it's the only thing she's

Who laughs without feeling

guilty about it.

Someone who lets herself live.

Maggie.

What? What feels like.

Think we should leave?

No. You stayed here, too.

The sky is so beautiful. More

than I've remembered it in

It feels wrong, almost, for the

world to be this beautiful

anymore. Maybe that's the trade.

The world takes everything but

leaves a little beauty behind.

I'm sorry. Don't even worry

about it. Don't worry about it.

Thank you for

letting me talk about Marisol.

It's been a long time since I

felt like I can talk to someone.

You know? I'm glad I could be

there to listen. We all hold

someone, right?

You ever need someone to talk

I got what you asked for.

Thank you.

Morphine. You can test it. My

source is trusted.

Thank you. It was a fair trade.

This is gonna change everything.

For us, maybe. For the world.

Self protection. In the end,

Always.

How about I drive.

It?

Negan. Have any more thought

to my offer? I have.

And I gotta be honest with you.

I'm embarrassed to say that it

took me a good long minute to

see through your bullshit. I'm

sorry. My what? Your offer's not

an offer. It's a threat. See,

you don't trust me. And this is

your cute little way of keeping

your eye on me? I turn you down,

and you can threaten to lock me

up for killing the Dharma. I

mean, that's your next play,

right? And smart of you to do

when Maggie's not around. No one

to take my side or talk you out

of it. I made the offer when I

did because I saw you save

Fabian's life. You think I

planned that, too? I guess I

could have made it go down,

like you said. Would you say I

blackmail you? Threatened to put

you behind bars if you didn't do

exactly as I said. I actually

could still do that. There's

hundreds of us, only one of you.

Negan, I don't work like that.

My offer was genuine. It was me

trying to be honest with you.

Me trying to find my way into

actually trusting you. But now.

Now I'm wondering if you don't

trust yourself to play by

someone else's rules. That or

you're scared. You're scared to

get too close to more people you

might lose. Or is it both?

How did it go? Good trader came

through. Got everything we

needed and then some. Oh,

that's so great. What's new

here? What do we miss? Nothing.

Same. More. Same. More.

Oh, did you feel that?

Oh, I hope that wasn't what I

think it was. An earthquake?

Yeah. Big old sinkhole open up

on 8th Avenue a few years back,

swallowed up half goddamn city

block. Not like Dot is doing

anything anymore. Hey. Ground's

not stable. I need everyone off

the street. See? What do they

The pantry. We need to save the

food. Let's go. IT.

Grab as much as you can as fast

as you can. Yep. Then fall back

to the apartment.

It.

How are you?

Maggie.

Oh, Maggie. We gotta go. R. I

have to find it.

Building's about to go. We gotta

move now. But we barely got

anything. Hey, we can't eat it

for dinner. Let's do what she

says her now. Hey.

This way. This way. Come on.

Come on. This way.

Come on. Let's go. Come on.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

It.

There must be hundreds of

walkers in here. How are we

gonna do this? We're gonna need

help. This is not the typical

walker wrangler. One false at

me, and somebody is getting bit.

Me and God, we have one thing in

common. We despise cowards.

Open the gate. You open the

gates, we all die.

The boys of Dead City. We looked

at a lot of auditions for the

character of Luis, and Raul was.

Was the guy.

Your boy here is leverage. Our

plan just got a hell of a lot

easier. My boy Raul,

a gem of a person, a handsome

fella. Once he shaved his beard

off. We won't talk about his

beard on camera. But you know,

Raul. You know. You know.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Please.

Luis and Renata, our brother and

sister who have been surviving

in East Harlem after the zombie

apocalypse. We've got a family

that has survived. Renata and

Luis are the reason that this

family has stayed together. If

they can walk, they're green.

If they can talk, they're purple

and red. Red means handcuff your

patient to their beds. Okay. I

chose the path of acting. But

when I was a kid, I was certain

that I wanted to be a doctor.

That that was a really admirable

profession. Hershel sterilizes

his neck under his Adam's Apple.

Luis can not only save lives

himself, but train doctors and

sees in Herschel a mind that can

become a doctor's mind. While

Luis is teaching him, they bond,

and he really gets him into the

head space of what it is to be a

doctor and improves his own

skills there. I gotta treat the

horn. You need to do the

cricothyronomy by myself. You

need to do this. Okay. You got

this? Yeah. Logan's incredible.

I find him to be pretty wise and

smart for his age. Raul has been

great. We're good buddies now,

and getting those scenes with

him is really special. You lost

a patient. It hurts. Look at the

people you saved. Not only is

Luis his mentor, but he really

becomes, over the course of the

season, a bit of a father

figure, which is something that

he hasn't really had yet in his

life. Seeing the relationship

develop between Luis and

Herschel is the life that Maggie

wishes for her son. And it's

coming from this person who has

such an innate warmth and

humanity. Herschel is a star

today. You're a good teacher. I

have friends who are devout

walking dead heads. And when

they caught wind of what my

character arc would entail,

they couldn't believe it. What

do you think? Cannibal. Luring

us to his lair with delicious

apples. You don't know that

they're delicious. I ate one.

That's pretty good. Granada sort

of facilitates Maggie going on

this mission. And I think that

what comes of it could only

really happen away from home.

You never told me who you would

want to be. Someone who lets

herself live. You got. They got

a little smooch. Got a little

smooch out of the deal.

Maggie imagines herself kissing

another man. Are you?

Are you? I think we should

leave. What was important to us

was that at no point would Luis

feel like a replacement for

Glenn. Glenn is never leaving.

Maggie's heart and her

connection to Glenn is something

that's deeply in her character.

It feels wrong almost for the

world to be this beautiful

anymore. Maybe that's the trade.

The world takes everything but

leaves a little beauty behind.

I love during that episode,

there's just, like, a sense of

softness that is there. And

shooting it with Raul was so

much fun. We were just able to

just find such small character y

moments that felt kind of indie

filmish that we'd never get to

do in the Walking Dead. That we

can drop that tone in the middle

of this season is pretty

remarkable. I'm really excited

about that. It's a pretty

special storyline. I thought.
