No one's free.

Not in this world,
but we're alive.

You are, and you're

The CRM designates people
they find as A's and B's.

A's have a strength.

A's will die
for what they believe in.

People follow A's.

The people we cross
in the world,

the few we bring in,

Everyday people who are
just trying to survive.

B's get in.

A's are sent away and killed,

to change them.

Move up the ranks.
The Echelon Briefing?

That's when you get
all the info, the whys,

the things 90% of our force
doesn't know about

and 100% of our city
doesn't.

Do they want us
to be leaders?

Do they even know
about this?

Here? Tonight?

Telling us about A's and B's
and secret briefings?

No.
This is just me.

I believe that A's
who become soldiers,

become leaders
are the only thing

that could possibly
change the CRM.

Huh.

So, if we share with
the higher-ups

that you're saying
these things--
Mnh-mnh.

Don't say "we," Grimes.

You have to see this.

Look.

Male news anchor: ...missing
a scheduled rendezvous

between alliance partners
Portland

and the Civic Republic,

Major General Beale initiated
a CRM reconnaissance mission

to ascertain
the status of Omaha,

and they have learned that we
are now an alliance of two.

The city of Omaha,

one of the three surviving
cities on the continent,

has fallen, and with it,
nearly 90,000 souls.

Initial survey shows
a collapsed section

of the city's
perimeter barrier.

In the coming weeks, the CRM
will investigate the collapse

to determine if this was
pressure from a dead mass--

They should have
seen it coming.

[Sighs]

Omaha let people know where
they were, and they died.

What, you think
people did this?

I don't know
who did this.

I know the Civic Republic
is alive and Omaha is dead.

I know
that secrets work.

I know
this is the answer.

This is the place
that will create the future,

and Portland needs
to follow our lead.

Rick:

Michonne:
Rick!

Hello.
I am Scott M. Gimple.

I'm the executive producer

and showrunner
of "The Ones Who Live,"

and this is
your episode insider.

Rick:
An army found me,

a force of thousands
protecting a working

hidden city
of hundreds of thousands.

Throughout the shows
in The Walking Dead universe,

we've seen aspects of the CRM,
in small ways and in big ways.

Our ambition is to tell,
hopefully, a bigger story

and have some answers that
I'd been sort of asking Scott

and, you know, Robert Kirkman

and all the rest
of them for years.

♪

There was definitely
a paper trail to the CRM

from, you know,
the genesis of this show.

We've had stories
on "Fear the Walking Dead"

that have shown the lengths
they'll go to

just to erase evidence
about them,

and the CRM doesn't
let anyone leave.

Most people don't want to go,
so it's not really an issue.

Nat: The only thing you probably
see is like Alcatraz.

For us consignees, though,
we see that good life, man.

When we first see Rick,
he's outside the city.

He's not yet a citizen.

He's been
in the consignment program

with the CRM for years.

There hasn't been a community
that's been fortified enough

to survive
a system of governance

that works and is amazing.

Everybody but Rick
is thrilled to be there.

But Rick doesn't need that.
Rick needs his family.

Rick needs Michonne.

What happened
to your forehead?

Someone like you happened.

The CRM found his strength
very quickly after he landed,

and it was
Okafor who intervened.

It's a kind of odd relationship.

He saves Rick's life
countless times.

Because Rick
is trying to escape,

Okafor pulls him back in.

And, usually, it's one time
you try to escape,

they just got rid of them.

They don't bring
in people like Rick.

They avoid that vulnerability

of bringing in somebody strong
and charismatic.

You join.

[ Grunts ]

I did.

Pearl Thorne
is another survivor

that was found
out in the world.

If Okafor hadn't been the one
to find her,

she would've
never been brought back.

We wanted somebody that could
stand toe-to-toe with Rick.

They have this kind of
extraordinary respect

that, over the years,
bleeds into family.

I think she sees herself
reflected back in him.

You know, she's a little bit
more ahead, in terms of, like,

"Okay, I've understood that

I can still miss
the love of my life,

but that was then,
this is now.

This is what we have to do
in order to move forward."

And Rick never forgets that.

I know you're the right thing
for this force, Rick.

I know you're the right thing
for this plan.

To have Michonne and Rick
breathing the same air again

is one of the most
exciting things.

You have an expectation
of a scene,

and then you have the scene
that actually occurs.

And the great news is that,
with certain actors,

you can just tune in to them.

And I just have to sort of
look into her eyes,

and then off we go.

And something,
fortunately, happened

that was real and felt true.

Andy and I, you know,
we love to get in that sandbox

and bring them to life.

So that was really fun to ignite
the epic love-story journey

that we were about to take.
