If she wanted you dead, she'd send the horde.

All of it, not just a few waves at a time.

Maybe she's trying to wear us down first.

at the beginning of this meeting, there's plausible reason to believe

that the satellite and fire --Margo: I don't want to hear about

the damn satellite anymore, Eugene!

My friends died trying to save yours

and ended up with their heads on spikes.

[Chair scrapes]

Yeah!Yeah! Yeah!Yeah!

So all I want to hear from you

is that you're gonna take a dozen of us

and that we're gonna take that lead bitch's head off!

And then we'll put theirheads on spikes!

How many walkers did you see in Alpha's horde?

Tens of thousands.

Ah.

So...

What's your plan for taking them out?

Oh, that wasn't rhetorical.

I don't have one.

Ah.

Does anybody else?

If she sends that horde, that's it!

Right now, all she wants to do is talk.

And we are going to listen.

Now, while we are doing that, everyone here needs to focus

on what's coming in from the north and the south.

We're tired.

We are on edge.

And it is going to get worse before it gets better.

But we aren't gonna get through it at all
