[Maggie] Wait...

Overhand, remember?

It's more accurate. More spin.

It's okay. You'll get it. Okay.

You get scraped by the brambles?

I'm fine.

You sure about this?

Casey wanted a desk for her room and
I don't use it anymore, so.

All right.

Probably got some old clothes you
can donate to her brothers.

Looks like you outgrew the
corduroy jacket.

Sure. Take it.

Actually, I'm feeling kinda tired.

Maybe we can take it down
tomorrow or something.

Of course.

Our signal.

When you were little, in case
we got separated,

so I'd know that you were okay.

Do you remember how it started?

You were five or six.

We were on the road, camping just
north of Charleston.

I woke up, heard feet crunching
on leaves outside.

Then I noticed your
blanket was empty.

So I got up, pulled my knife out,

started toward the sound.

Then all of a sudden, this
creature came running

from behind the bushes.

And a little voice said,

"Look, Mom! I got it."

And you had your hands
cupped together,

and you opened 'em up to show me--

A lightning bug.

[Maggie] Yeah, a lightning bug.

You got any leftovers?

What's in it for me?

Well, what's in it for you is

you don't have to eat a
plate of cockroaches.

Or I can trade you for this

lovely bucket of my very
own piss and shit.

Yeah. I uh-- I have had my
eye on that bucket

for the past couple of months.

I know you have.

But, I think I'll hold out for
that ratty blanket.

Thank you.

You said a year ago that

I would be beggin' for cockroaches.

Christ.

How's it looking?

Unlock it.

It pains me to see you like this.

Time has run out, Negan.

She's going to talk,

and you need to listen now.

Are you ready to listen?

What about the boy?

You know, I have been thinking
about that myself.

You see, he is home. He's safe.

And in order to get to him,

you would have to go
through his mom.

Who, I'm not sure that if
you recall, but,

she is a mama bear

that would tear out your
throat with her teeth

right after she gutted you
with her claws.

Yeah, that's what I've been
thinking about.

Hey, don't you worry about me.
I'm good.

Look at this. I got this nice bed.

I got a private toilet.
Gourmet meals.

Mm, it's just how I like it,

crunchy on the outside and
soft in the middle.

In that case,

I fear things will have to escalate.

We need to get back.

If y'all don't remember me
from admission day,

I'm Charlie Byrd,

governor of the New
Babylon Federation.

Your governor.

I could ramble on, but,

I got a feeling you'd rather
hear from someone

whose reputation precedes him,

a man who traveled to a
distant land,

made huge discoveries. And as if
that weren't enough,

tracked down the notorious outlaw,
Negan,

and brought him to justice.

Thank you, Governor.

Looking around today, I think
it's fair to say,

we're no longer just
lucky to be alive.

We're living.

Getting back what we lost.

But our work isn't done.

There was a place once.

Full of so many buildings,
so packed together,

you could barely see where
the sky started.

A strategic port.

The center of music,

food, art,

and commerce.

A city that announced to the world,
we are here.

Humanity is here.

All that's left today are
crumbling buildings

and a million dead souls.

It's been overrun by
lawless barbarians.

So what's our interest in it?
Why would we go there?

To bring it back. It's not too late.

Manhattan can once again
inspire and spread hope,

and serve as a bastion
for civilization.

Now, look- I'm not gonna lie,
it's not gonna be easy.

Which is why we've been going
from town to town,

drafting soldiers for an
exploratory mission,

as is the federation's
right by treaty.

You're scared. I get it.

But look, this is a fight.

This is a mission worth fighting--

Go! Ginny.

State your name and town.

Jason Ornell. Madgeburg.

State your crime.

After arrival at Madgeburg, Mr.
Ornell

chose to shamefully flee

rather than face conscription.

He was apprehended in the forest.

Code 52, section 8.

"Refusal or evasion of registration

"into the armed forces of the
New Babylon Federation

shall be punishable by
public execution."

Our eyes and ears on the mainland

have intercepted messages
between the colonies.

There is to be an
exploratory mission

followed by a massive land invasion,

so we must be ready with an
army of our own.

To that end,

uptown is controlled by
three groups.

They are ferocious and territorial.

And the park sits between them,

acting like a buffer.

No man's land.

Yeah, because no man
comes out alive.

If we can form an alliance,

bring everyone onto our side,

then New Babylon won't
stand a chance.

Now, the groups
interface once a month,

at this plaza for a form
of street trade.

Gambling on sport.

Got your own farmer's market.

Yeah.

It was a brainchild of a
man named Bruegel.

And unsurprisingly, he
has accumulated

a good deal of wealth from this,
this trade,

weapons and food, armor, shelter.

He's a snake, snake charmer.

Silver-tongued--

Well...

The next meeting is tonight.

I've invited them to the
church afterwards

for a little nightcap.

My overtures have gotten us as
far as they can go.

What's required now is leadership.

Inspire them.

Manipulate.

Terrorize.

Put on a show.

Whatever it takes to get
them on board.

Is it to your liking?

You're a gin man, right?

I am, indeed.

Here's the thing, I--

I feel like we had this conversation

a couple of months ago.

My answer's still the same.

Hell no.

You yourself have seen

what New Babylon is capable of.

As Dama says,

we have been given a gift.

The old world, it was a place of
suffering and injustice, yes.

But our past has been erased.

With the methane,

we can bring the city back

in wondrous new ways.

A church can be a power plant.

A gym teacher can command an army.

This is a little too
fancy for my taste.

But I do appreciate the gesture.

You know, when our people were
out searching for you,

they heard whispers of a
settlement in Tennessee

that was home to a woman and child.

Annie and Joshua, if
I'm not mistaken.

Their wagon train was meant for
Missouri, as you know,

considering you yourself
paid the driver.

But a flooded Mississippi
rerouted them to Memphis.

I hate spoiling the surprise,

but now that they're en
route to the island,

I suppose you'd want to make
your preparations.

[Tim] At least with Manhattan,
there's a chance.

We don't know for sure-- -No.

No, it's a death
sentence either way.

Anyone they take to Manhattan, we'll
never see them again.

It was the capital
of the old world.

Home to museums, theaters, churches.

Avenues as wide and open as
a prairie plain.

And will all soon be restored just
as sublime as it once was.

Excuse me?

Nothing. It's just everything you're
saying is total bullshit.

Well, considering I've spent years
poring over old textbooks,

maps and periodicals,

I would think that what I'm saying
is not total bullshit.

But you haven't been there.

Wait, you've... What's it...

It's full of walkers.

More than you've ever seen before.

And-- and those museums
and churches,

they've all been looted or blown up.

There's this one bridge, high up
between the buildings,

it started to fall, but then
it caught itself

and got all twisted, so
it's like uh...

Here, I'll show you.

It's better now than it ever was.

Can I keep this?

Uh, yeah, sure.

Why don't we pick this
up after dinner?

[Armstrong] So that's your son.

That's my son.

It's been a while.

Yeah. Congratulations, by the way.

Tracking down the notorious outlaw,
Negan,

and shooting him dead.

I only said that to protect him.

Where is he? What happened to him?

Still on the island for all I know.

What do you want?

I'm gonna recommend
your conscription.

I think you could be an
asset to the mission.

You've been there.

You got your son back
from the Croat.

You know his weaknesses,
how he operates.

You've got it all figured out,
I guess.

I know how you feel
about New Babylon.

I've got my doubts, too. -Why now?

Why all of a sudden do you wanna
bring back Manhattan?

You want the methane.

I've seen the moths. You're
running out of ethanol.

They've spread all over the south.

Laying eggs in the corn, rotting
it from the inside.

We can survive without it.

New Babylon can't, which is
just fine by me.

It's true.

If we can take over their
methane operation,

it's ready to go,
practically unlimited.

It'll fuel power grids.

Give us back technology
and medicine.

People wouldn't have to die of
infection or the flu.

And I'm not just talking
about my people.

Your people.

Everyone.

But if we don't get that methane,

if New Babylon falls,

we've lost too much.

Why would we put ourselves
through that again?

We're in this together.

Are we?

Where's your wife then? Where
are your daughters?

Why aren't they coming to Manhattan?

Exploratory mission, huh?

'Cause we're just the first wave,
the conscripts,

just a bunch of fucking guinea pigs.

I'll remind you that you're
treaty-bound members

of the federation-- -Which
you forced us into,

cut off all of our
trading partners--

Even if you can't see it's in your
interest as much as mine--

- Not that I voted for it--
- You're coming.

- Is that right, Marshal? -Colonel.
It's Colonel now.

If I'm treaty bound, then
it'd be my duty

to inform your superiors what
really happened to Negan.

If I come to the island,

no one else from the Bricks gets
drafted that doesn't want to.

I'd have to sell it to the governor.

Get selling.

Forgive me, Father, for I
have sinned...

And sinned, and sinned, and sinned.

I'm sorry your wife and son got
dragged into this.

But think of it as less a threat to
your family and more a

chance to welcome them into our
larger family, huh?

Hey...

I have a surprise for you.

Huh?

Just like the original Lucille.

Although I have added some, shall
we say, improvements.

I understand.

After a long break,

when a performer takes
the stage again,

he wants to try out new material.

But in the end,

all the audience really wants
are the greatest hits.

We have to go. It's time.

Get him!

[Negan] That is one big-ass walker.

Goddamn, farmer's market.

No! Get up!

Major Narvaez,

I read that Manhattan's power grid
was run underground

after the blizzard of 1888.

Which means that it's probably
survived the destruction

of the city.

I'm getting ahead of myself,
but is it possible--

Don't you have some
journaling to do?

She's just jealous, Mr. Pierce.

The history you'll be
recording along the way,

the tales of discovery and glory,

they'll be our biggest
victory of all.

Speaking of which...

Only to be smoked in celebration

when we get what we're after.

Have you given any thought to what
we talked about earlier?

[Narvaez] That Bricks woman?

Is she really that important?

She's the woman I met on the island.

She single-handedly rescued her
son from the Croat.

So let's just draft her.

We could try.

Over her dead body, as she put it.

Either we bring her on
incentivized alive,

or we throw away yet
another opportunity.

By my count, we have 20
able-bodied soldiers here.

Is this woman worth 20 soldiers?

I think she is.

So then let her prove it.

I think that's smart.

We'll conduct an
assessment of the woman.

Why does it have to be you?

Because that's the only way
that this works.

Yeah, but you didn't try to
find another way.

You just...

It's almost like you wanna go.

I don't wanna go.

I'm doing it for you,
for the Bricks.

Hersh-- Hershel.

No, no, no.

If you plan on taking the place of
20 conscripts on the island,

it won't be soldiers
you'll be fighting.

I only just found out.

Anyone intending to enlist,
step up to the corral.

Ginny, you're not going in there.

Wait, hold on. We can't--

- What's the problem?
- She's just a kid.

And kids can't fight?

This isn't what we decided.

No one gets drafted involuntarily.

That was the deal.

Don't make me say it again.

Please.

No, Ginny! I said--

Goddammit.

Ginny.

Ginny!

We gonna start this shit or what?

Thank you all for coming.

From what I gather, y'all hate
each other's guts.

I gotta say, I get it.

I just walked in the door

and I already hate your guts.

And yet, here we are,

all together in God's house.

I gotta say, I was a little
surprised that nobody got--

I don't know, struck by lightning,

or burst into flames.

I mean, after all, we are the
walking manifestation of sin.

But here's the thing.

Why bring this motley group of
shitheads together?

I mean, what is the fucking point?

Anybody recognize this?

It's a badge.

A lawman's badge.

Do you remember the law?

I mean, I know it's been a minute.

From The New Babylon Federation.

See, I got this badge

when the asshat that was
chasing me down lost it.

That is correct. I was
once a wanted man.

Lawman chased me down,
so I came here.

I came here because I hear this
island's got no laws.

Got that right, bitch.

[Negan] The question is, are you
gonna keep it that way?

You see, where this badge came from,

there's a hell of a lot more of 'em.

And they are coming here
right now as we speak.

See, New Babylon, they
found out about your

kick-ass, bad-ass way of life.

And to them, that's a problem.

For New Babylon, the solution to
that problem is their laws.

So you join us,

you put aside your differences,

and we fight.

We keep New Babylon--

♪ Kumbaya, my Lord Kumbaya ♪

And you are?

Christos.

Christos? Christos. Very cool name.

Here's the deal, Christos, I'm
wondering if we can save

the Q and A until-- I don't know,
after--

What if we don't wanna join you?

Yeah.

[Christos] Hmm?

What if we don't want to uh, put
aside our differences?

Yeah.

Why don't we all just take a breath?

What if we like things just
the way they are?

And we don't give a fuck about
someone else's problem.

Yes!

Hmm?

Now I don't know what the old
lady was hoping for,

but there is no way I am
bending the knee

to some skinny fucking
bitch-ass old man.

Who's come here out of
fucking nowhere

thinking he can sell us
on some bullshit!

'Cause if we're fighting, I
think we know whose ass

we're fucking up.

Damn right! Damn right!

This is my fault. It is.

I'm gonna take all the blame for it,

but I think we're
having a little bit

of a misunderstanding.

I am not asking for any Kumbaya.

You see, I am not a preacher.

And you sure as shit ain't
no congregation.

But you are gonna fight.

And not for the common good.

I could give a rat's ass
about the common good.

No, you are gonna fight...

You're gonna fight because I say so.

Get that fucking thing
out of my face.

Nah.

Get that fuckin' thing--

Methane...

We got it. You don't.

We got the bright lights,
the cool cars,

the awesome weapons. We got bombs.

You see, power,

equals power.

It's as simple as that.

So if you ain't with us...

I guess you're in for a
bit of a shock.

So why don't y'all talk
amongst yourselves.

Think about it.

But do me a favor, yeah?

Don't think too hard.

I need my compass.

[Hershel] Why? What's going on?

She thinks she's coming to
Manhattan and she's not.

The three of us,

we know what it means to
go back there.

I'm worried about you.

Okay?

I made him a promise.

I swore that I would
look out for you.

Is this about Negan? Is that
why you wanna go?

I can't let you. -You're
not my mother.

You're not anything to me.

I'm going, too. -What are
you talking about?

[Hershel] I'm coming with you.

No. -Ginny can go, but I can't?

[Maggie] Yeah, because
you're my son.

And, I'm only going
because I have to.

Or maybe you're going for him, too.

What is it 'cause you feel bad?

You feel guilty 'cause you
left him there?

What are you talking about?

Or is it still about
everything from before?

I mean, I thought we were past that.

I thought we finished it.

That's what you said,
it was finished!

I thought we were getting better,

but you just keep holding on.

This has nothing to do with Negan.

Why are you doing this?

Why do you wanna go back?

After everything that happened?

Why?

You went through my things?

What do these mean to you?

Nothing.

Did something happen to you there?

Other than being kidnapped?

Does the city have some
kind of pull on you?

No.

Who is this woman?

I don't know.

I saw her face on some
billboard or something.

I'm not lying, Mom.
They're just drawings.

I don't wanna be apart.

I just...

I don't want you to go.

You know, I...

I didn't-- I didn't know my mom.

I mean, not for very long
and not very well.

By the time I got things
right with my dad,

I was all grown up.

And I had my own life.

All I'm trying to say

is that these last few
months with you

have meant the world to me.

And it's like you said,

we're finally getting better.

We're finally moving past...

all of it.

That's why I have to go, so that
you don't have to.

So I can protect what we have here.

I'm gonna go. I'm gonna
come right back.

And we are gonna pick up right
where we left off.

Okay?

Okay.

Guess you won't
be eating today.

But don't worry...

It won't be long.

You'll get there.
