We need that food. 510 00:51:16,003 --> 00:51:18,092 The walls are about to fail. 511 00:51:18,135 --> 00:51:19,572 If we don't get those horses, 512 00:51:19,615 --> 00:51:21,139 we're all gonna starve to death. 513 00:51:21,182 --> 00:51:22,880 I thought you were a man of God. 514 00:51:22,922 --> 00:51:24,577 God isn't here anymore. 515 00:51:25,230 --> 00:51:27,144 No! No! 516 00:51:37,764 --> 00:51:41,027 When we start, we see that Maggie, she's down there, 517 00:51:41,072 --> 00:51:42,987 she's fighting the walkers. 518 00:51:45,641 --> 00:51:48,557 For our heroes, you're not a hero unless you fight 519 00:51:48,601 --> 00:51:50,864 through things and you survive things, 520 00:51:50,907 --> 00:51:54,041 and Maggie is a survivor. She has been through a lot. 521 00:51:54,085 --> 00:51:58,262 Putting her in situations where she's really just having to be 522 00:51:58,306 --> 00:52:02,179 strong and smart... that's always a good place to put 523 00:52:02,224 --> 00:52:03,920 our heroes like Maggie. 524 00:52:03,963 --> 00:52:07,664 So, we just felt like it was important to start the episode 525 00:52:07,706 --> 00:52:11,275 on her like that because you just see, like, how determined 526 00:52:11,320 --> 00:52:14,192 she is to get through her mission. 527 00:52:20,893 --> 00:52:25,637 Daryl, in a lot of ways, is in this very atmospheric part 528 00:52:25,681 --> 00:52:29,512 of the story, but it's all important to kind of 529 00:52:29,554 --> 00:52:32,731 remind us of stakes and what's out there in the world, 530 00:52:32,775 --> 00:52:36,867 and we liked this idea of showing this mural. 531 00:52:36,909 --> 00:52:40,523 We wanted to touch on these themes of high and low class, 532 00:52:40,565 --> 00:52:42,916 which go throughout the season. 533 00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:46,528 At the top of the mural, you'll see this family wearing crowns 534 00:52:46,572 --> 00:52:50,184 and then Daryl scans his flashlight down and you see, 535 00:52:50,228 --> 00:52:52,751 it's the same family and they're still wearing the crowns, 536 00:52:52,795 --> 00:52:55,059 but they're now homeless and they're looking for food. 537 00:52:55,101 --> 00:52:56,929 And you see people who are in crowns 538 00:52:56,974 --> 00:52:58,541 that are being torn apart, 539 00:52:58,583 --> 00:53:00,456 not by zombies, but by other humans, 540 00:53:00,498 --> 00:53:03,762 and so we were trying to tell the story of what happened 541 00:53:03,806 --> 00:53:07,331 in these subway tunnels, and the backstory of it is that 542 00:53:07,376 --> 00:53:09,900 there was this massive class struggle that happened. 543 00:53:09,943 --> 00:53:13,469 People wound up being murdered and stuffed in bags, 544 00:53:13,512 --> 00:53:16,949 and so you see a mixing of people who are homeless 545 00:53:16,994 --> 00:53:19,387 along with people who had a lot of money. 546 00:53:19,431 --> 00:53:22,565 You know, there's a guy in a suit with just a suitcase 547 00:53:22,608 --> 00:53:24,697 full of cash that he tried to run away with, 548 00:53:24,740 --> 00:53:26,960 but you now think, like, "Well, that was useless." 549 00:53:27,003 --> 00:53:29,485 And then you even see a different context for money, 550 00:53:29,527 --> 00:53:32,530 because he finds this bag of things left behind 551 00:53:32,574 --> 00:53:34,664 by children who were forced to be 552 00:53:34,706 --> 00:53:36,492 almost adults in their own right 553 00:53:36,534 --> 00:53:40,626 and you see something that was a bill that became just note paper 554 00:53:40,670 --> 00:53:43,324 for this child to leave a message to parents, 555 00:53:43,367 --> 00:53:45,762 and clearly, they never found each other. 556 00:53:45,804 --> 00:53:48,503 You know, there was a bunny that Maggie saw on the tracks, 557 00:53:48,547 --> 00:53:51,507 and then you see the photo of these two beautiful children, 558 00:53:51,550 --> 00:53:53,726 and the daughter had the stuffed bunny, 559 00:53:53,769 --> 00:53:56,728 so they either didn't make it or at the very least, 560 00:53:56,773 --> 00:53:58,818 they had to run and leave that toy behind. 561 00:53:58,862 --> 00:54:01,385 So, for Daryl as he's kind of going through, 562 00:54:01,429 --> 00:54:05,347 it's a reminder for him that the mission they're on 563 00:54:05,389 --> 00:54:10,655 is to prevent their people from winding up in a place like this. 564 00:54:10,699 --> 00:54:14,311 Keeping them afloat is worth the sacrifice for our heroes. 565 00:54:18,489 --> 00:54:20,579 Some of the things that we love about Princess 566 00:54:20,623 --> 00:54:23,974 is that she is just this bright, shining light 567 00:54:24,016 --> 00:54:26,802 in the middle of this dark world. 568 00:54:26,846 --> 00:54:29,414 She is authentically who she is. 569 00:54:29,458 --> 00:54:33,722 She has been through so much trauma, but is looking to 570 00:54:33,766 --> 00:54:35,289 connect with people. 571 00:54:35,333 --> 00:54:38,030 You know, we claim this character as having ADHD, 572 00:54:38,074 --> 00:54:40,251 and we've tried to kind of be true to some of 573 00:54:40,295 --> 00:54:43,385 the mental health struggles that sometimes accompany that, 574 00:54:43,427 --> 00:54:45,516 because you just think in a different way, 575 00:54:45,561 --> 00:54:48,041 and sometimes, people don't accept that. 576 00:54:48,085 --> 00:54:50,782 But, you know, we've seen that she's incredibly observant, 577 00:54:50,827 --> 00:54:54,003 and that because she can sort of hyper-focus on things, 578 00:54:54,047 --> 00:54:56,702 she notices things that a lot of people miss, 579 00:54:56,746 --> 00:54:59,878 and so that in and of itself becomes this thing 580 00:54:59,922 --> 00:55:04,056 that helps our people almost escape in the first episode. 581 00:55:04,101 --> 00:55:06,798 I also think, like, you know, she's not shy. 582 00:55:06,842 --> 00:55:08,322 She just kind of was like, 583 00:55:08,365 --> 00:55:09,603 "Well, I gotta go to the bathroom, 584 00:55:09,628 --> 00:55:11,282 so I'm just going to talk to this guy." 585 00:55:11,326 --> 00:55:14,371 Do you have toilet paper? 586 00:55:14,416 --> 00:55:16,068 I'm excited. 587 00:55:16,112 --> 00:55:19,898 The fact that she is somebody that is not afraid to 588 00:55:19,943 --> 00:55:22,684 try to connect with people is something that's going to 589 00:55:22,728 --> 00:55:25,295 take her really, really far, at the end of the day. 590 00:55:25,340 --> 00:55:26,862 You want to speak to my supervisor? 591 00:55:26,905 --> 00:55:29,213 That's right! We wanna talk to the manager. 592 00:55:31,606 --> 00:55:33,652 When Maggie comes back in the train car 593 00:55:33,695 --> 00:55:37,003 and says, "I slipped and he saw me do it 594 00:55:37,047 --> 00:55:39,266 and he left me to die." And he's like... 595 00:55:39,309 --> 00:55:41,920 Okay. So what? 596 00:55:41,965 --> 00:55:44,923 That's just Negan. I don't think he feels a lot of shame 597 00:55:44,967 --> 00:55:49,320 about, like, the things that he does as a survivor, 598 00:55:49,364 --> 00:55:52,844 and I think he's always been oddly a straight shooter. 599 00:55:52,889 --> 00:55:55,717 He pretty much tells you who he is and what he thinks, 600 00:55:55,760 --> 00:55:58,764 and he tells every person what he thinks about them. 601 00:55:58,807 --> 00:56:02,027 Like, a lot of times... he can be a real bully at times, 602 00:56:02,072 --> 00:56:03,552 like, to people and just kind of 603 00:56:03,594 --> 00:56:04,833 call them names and things like that. 604 00:56:04,856 --> 00:56:06,728 I'll tell you why I'm here, man-tits. 605 00:56:06,771 --> 00:56:10,514 I'm real close to shoving a gag in your mouth. 606 00:56:10,559 --> 00:56:12,081 Well, why don't you get up 607 00:56:12,125 --> 00:56:14,170 on your little tippy toes and try. 608 00:56:14,213 --> 00:56:16,956 There's definitely no not knowing 609 00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:18,914 where you stand with Negan. 610 00:56:18,958 --> 00:56:20,351 Hey, this one seems a bit looser! 611 00:56:20,394 --> 00:56:22,570 Sasquatch, gimme a hand! 612 00:56:22,614 --> 00:56:26,096 In the scene with Gage, we felt that it was 613 00:56:26,139 --> 00:56:29,621 really important to come to a point in this story 614 00:56:29,664 --> 00:56:33,146 where a horrible decision had to be made. 615 00:56:33,190 --> 00:56:34,931 Gage is so young. 616 00:56:34,974 --> 00:56:37,498 I mean, the guy is kind of a jerk. 617 00:56:37,541 --> 00:56:39,936 He was part of the group that was bullying Lydia 618 00:56:39,978 --> 00:56:42,547 at Alexandria. He was sort of complicit 619 00:56:42,590 --> 00:56:44,853 in this attack on her. 620 00:56:44,896 --> 00:56:47,682 But we thought like, you know, somebody like that, 621 00:56:47,726 --> 00:56:50,336 who's still kind of young and growing... 622 00:56:50,380 --> 00:56:52,905 He's out on this mission because he wants to try to 623 00:56:52,949 --> 00:56:54,951 help and try to redeem something, 624 00:56:54,994 --> 00:56:58,519 but he made some bad choices, once again. 625 00:56:58,563 --> 00:57:00,260 Gage. 626 00:57:00,304 --> 00:57:02,088 He took our supplies. 627 00:57:02,132 --> 00:57:04,177 He runs off at the first opportunity 628 00:57:04,221 --> 00:57:06,092 and he takes supplies with him. 629 00:57:06,135 --> 00:57:09,181 When he comes back, our people would have let him 630 00:57:09,226 --> 00:57:13,490 back in if they could have, but I think when they look at 631 00:57:13,534 --> 00:57:16,581 the math of, like, you've got a herd of zombies 632 00:57:16,625 --> 00:57:18,757 coming after you, you were a coward, 633 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,978 if we let you in, now we're going to use our ammo, 634 00:57:22,021 --> 00:57:26,025 we're going to use our energy. You might die anyway 635 00:57:26,068 --> 00:57:29,027 and we might all die. I think that Maggie kind of 636 00:57:29,072 --> 00:57:31,465 looks at that and she thinks like a general and goes, 637 00:57:31,509 --> 00:57:33,250 like, "You're an acceptable loss 638 00:57:33,293 --> 00:57:35,469 in order for the rest of us to go on." 639 00:57:35,512 --> 00:57:39,255 But that doesn't make the decision any nicer 640 00:57:39,298 --> 00:57:43,215 or easier, because he also takes his moment to kind of say, 641 00:57:43,260 --> 00:57:46,349 "'F' you. Like, if you're going to do this, then you're going to 642 00:57:46,393 --> 00:57:48,438 watch me turn in front of you. 643 00:57:48,483 --> 00:57:49,922 Like, that's what's going to happen." 644 00:57:56,447 --> 00:58:01,583 An important moment in the arc between Maggie and Negan is, 645 00:58:01,626 --> 00:58:04,541 there's this moment where they feel like 646 00:58:04,585 --> 00:58:06,282 they're just in real trouble, 647 00:58:06,326 --> 00:58:08,023 and maybe they're all going to die, 648 00:58:08,067 --> 00:58:12,244 and Maggie hands Negan a gun that she has on her. 649 00:58:12,289 --> 00:58:16,641 Maggie really is just kind of, like, cold, hard leader 650 00:58:16,684 --> 00:58:20,079 at that point. Right then, he's just an asset. 651 00:58:20,123 --> 00:58:22,429 The mission has become more important 652 00:58:22,472 --> 00:58:26,128 than any one individual or any one dynamic 653 00:58:26,172 --> 00:58:29,697 that exists between them, and that is true even for her. 654 00:58:29,740 --> 00:58:33,396 And so, when he gives it back, maybe there is at least 655 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:37,619 this tiny, tiny bit of trust that has passed back and forth 656 00:58:37,661 --> 00:58:40,403 between them, and that's going to just be part of 657 00:58:40,447 --> 00:58:43,275 the shifting sands that they're on as they're going through 658 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,844 this mission together. 659 00:58:45,887 --> 00:58:48,672 The final scene with the Reapers shows, like, 660 00:58:48,717 --> 00:58:52,284 "A", they've got the hanging bodies and all kinds of 661 00:58:52,329 --> 00:58:54,112 things... like, there is definitely sort of 662 00:58:54,157 --> 00:58:57,726 this "Apocalypse Now" type of vibe to them. 663 00:58:57,768 --> 00:59:00,815 This element of, "Don't mess with us. 664 00:59:00,858 --> 00:59:02,818 Our territory is our territory. 665 00:59:02,860 --> 00:59:06,822 Don't cross, but if you do, there's going to be a problem." 666 00:59:06,864 --> 00:59:09,563 And just the way that they're marching forward, 667 00:59:09,606 --> 00:59:11,914 you see this sort of boldness of, like, 668 00:59:11,956 --> 00:59:14,699 "We're not afraid of coming to meet you." 669 00:59:14,742 --> 00:59:17,833 They are very, very, very formidable and they know it.
