Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 4: Around Every Corner
Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 4, titled "Around Every Corner," is the fourth episode of the first season of the game. The episode was written by Gary Whitta and directed by Nick Herman.[1]
Plot Summary
The episode begins with Lee and his group navigating through the ruined streets of Georgia's first city, Savannah, in search of safety on the waters of the Atlantic Ocean. As they walk, they are ambushed by walkers, and Chuck sacrifices himself to save Clementine.[2] The group then takes refuge in a fortified mansion, where they meet a new character, Molly, who is initially hostile but later joins the group.
Key Events and Choices
The episode is marked by several key events and choices that impact the story and its characters. Some of these include:
The group finding a mansion to take refuge in, and the subsequent discovery of Chuck's body in the sewers.[3]
The introduction of Vernon, a doctor who is part of a group of cancer survivors who escaped from Crawford.[4]
The decision to sneak into Crawford to gather supplies, including medicine, fuel, and a battery.[5]
The choice to bring Clementine along on the mission to Crawford or leave her behind.[6]
The confrontation with Ben, who has been making questionable decisions, and the subsequent choice to save him or let him die.[7]
Reception and Impact
The episode received positive reviews from critics, with many praising the game's storytelling, characters, and emotional impact.[8] However, some critics noted that the episode's pacing was slower than previous episodes, and that the new characters introduced in this episode were not as well-developed as the existing cast.[9]
Analysis
The episode's events and choices have a significant impact on the story and its characters. The decision to bring Clementine to Crawford, for example, puts her in danger and creates tension among the group.[10] The confrontation with Ben also raises questions about his reliability and the group's trust in him.
The episode's climax, where the group escapes from Crawford, is a pivotal moment in the story, and the choices made here will have a lasting impact on the game's outcome.
Conclusion
Telltale's The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 4 is a critical episode in the game's narrative, with several key events and choices that shape the story and its characters. The episode's reception was generally positive, with critics praising the game's storytelling and emotional impact.

00:00Oh
00:30Up here I guess
00:37I think I better be alone
00:48Locked
00:49Didn't need to use the bathroom anyway
01:00Bone dry
01:15You've already been fired
01:17You're worthless
01:19Must be the guy who ran this place
01:31Looks like he figured himself as some kind of supreme leader
01:43Not going back out there unless I have a damn good reason
01:49Shit
02:05Kristen Vernon must be trapped in there
02:19What the hell happened?
02:46They wandered into the hallway after we got inside
02:49I think they must have heard us rooting around in here
02:51The whole place is infested
02:53They're everywhere
02:54Calm down
02:55I took care of them
02:56What about the meds?
02:58Did we find what we need?
02:59Yeah, that's our other problem
03:01Take a look
03:05Looks like they were keeping all the prescription meds in that safe
03:09Locked up tight
03:12There's no way we can bust it open?
03:14Maybe with enough time
03:16But I don't know how much of that we have
03:18It'd be a hell of a lot quicker if we just knew the four digit combination
03:22Well, I doubt they just wrote it down and left it here for us to find
03:25We should just try busting it open
03:27We don't have any other choice
03:29Okay, you get started
03:31I'll take a look around, see if I can find anything useful
03:37I'll have to take time to rest later, I think
03:41But what is this?
03:43A copy machine
03:44Not that it matters with no power around here
03:50Just a bunch of papers
03:51No safe combination, though
04:10What's that?
04:12What's that?
04:37Sounds like there's a shit ton of walkers out there
04:41Think I better leave it alone
04:55Too bad I don't know the combination to any of these
05:01Can't open it without the combination, right?
05:11Let's go
05:34The phones probably haven't worked in months
05:38Looks like some kind of medical file
05:44Anna Correa
05:46Guess she must have been a patient here
05:48And what's this?
05:56How's it coming?
05:57Slow, too slow
05:59I'm worried that by the time we manage to get this thing open, it may be too late
06:04Hey, Doc
06:06I just wanted to thank you for coming with us
06:08And for all your help
06:10I really appreciate it
06:12Hey, don't thank me
06:13I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it for my people
06:16They need this medicine as badly as your friend does
06:21I'll go see if I can find something that'll help us get that safe open
06:25Good idea
06:33Not working
06:56What's this on the floor?
06:58It's a sonogram
07:04Y'all already checked these drawers?
07:06Yes, Lee
07:07Nothing in there worth taking
07:15Already cleaned out
07:27There's dried blood on this printout
07:29And on the floor
07:34Looks like a trail a bit from the safe to the camera over there
07:38Then out the door
07:40What the hell happened here?
07:48No tape inside
07:53The way this camera's set up, it looks like it would have had a pretty good view of that keypad
07:58I wonder if it caught someone punching it in
08:03No
08:11Vernon, Krista, come look at this
08:14This is day 82 since the outbreak
08:161547, Dr. Logan in consultation with patient Anna Correa
08:23Why are you recording this?
08:25Regulations
08:27Oberson has ordered me to keep records of all medical examinations and consultations
08:32I need you to brace yourself, Anna
08:34The sonogram confirms that you're pregnant
08:38Oh God, oh God, oh God
08:41As you know, the rules are very clear
08:43The termination is mandatory
08:46You don't have to tell them
08:47Tell them it was just nausea
08:49That you gave me something for it and it went away
08:51This is my problem, not yours
08:54If Oberson finds out that I concealed evidence of a pregnancy
08:58I'm sorry, but these are the rules
09:00I'm gonna give you a sedative
09:01It'll make the procedure easier on you
09:03I don't want the procedure, I want my baby
09:06I can't do this, I can't do this
09:09Anna, you don't have a choice
09:11Now if you like, you can take some time with this
09:14But I need you to come back no later than tomorrow
09:17Or I'll have no choice but to inform Oberson myself
09:20I'm sorry
09:32Damn it, we almost had it
09:35What the hell kind of place was this?
09:37Like Molly said, the worst kind
09:40Lee, maybe there's another tape
09:42We gotta keep looking
09:44I think I recognize that doctor
09:46He was one of the walkers out in the alley by the auto shop
09:49Maybe you should search it, see what he's got on him
10:31What the hell?
11:31Fuck!
11:46This might be just what we need
11:48What's this? Looks like some kind of code
11:51But Vernon said the safe combination was only four numbers
11:58Shit, time to go
12:02Shit
12:15Logan, this must have been his locker
12:2213, the safe combination has gotta be on one of these
12:31Shit
12:40I found two more tapes
12:42One of them is dated October 10th
12:44That's the day after the first one we watched
12:47Put it in
12:56Have you made a decision?
12:58I thought you said I didn't have a choice
13:00Well, technically you do
13:02You can terminate the pregnancy or leave Crawford
13:05Of course, that would be a death sentence for both you and your unborn child
13:09Maybe that's best
13:10I stayed up all last night thinking about this
13:13Why are we even trying to survive?
13:15To keep on living, if this is what it takes
13:17If this is what it's turned us into
13:19I don't make the rules, Hannah
13:21Doctor, I'm begging you, please help me
13:25Maybe one day, when things are different, you can try again
13:28But for now, today, we have to do this
13:42No, no, no
13:59I think we know what happened to Crawford
14:02More importantly, we got the combination
14:13Krista, this isn't the time
14:16We got a job to do
14:18You're right, I'm sorry
14:20Let's get those meds
14:25We're in business
14:28Antibiotics, morphine
14:30We'll take as much of this as we can carry
14:33Okay, I think we're good
14:35This is more than enough for your people and mine
14:38Let's go
14:39You know, I found a theriotape in the locker outside
14:41Maybe there's something else on there
14:43We got the meds for Omid, that's all I care about
14:46We'll head back to the classroom
14:48Don't take too long, Lee
14:57Listen, as fun as this was, I have to put a stop to this little arrangement
15:22This is the last I can give you
15:24Why?
15:25Oberson had someone down here yesterday taking inventory. He's really cracking down. I just can't risk it.
15:31We had a deal.
15:32Yes, we had a deal. We don't anymore.
15:35My sister needs this medicine. Without it, she'll die or she'll start showing symptoms and they'll take her away.
15:42I can't let that happen.
15:44I'm sorry, Molly. I've done all I can, but I have to look out for myself here.
15:49Yeah, that's the Crawford way, isn't it?
15:55Well, shit.
16:26Jesus Christ! Oh, you scared the shit out of me. Where the fuck have you been?
16:30Sightseeing.
16:33I'll take that battery down.
16:35Oh, yeah. About that...
16:42I'm just kidding.
16:49There you go.
16:57What's that?
16:59Nothing.
17:04Forget it. We got what we came here for. Let's just go.
17:09What the hell?
17:11I think that's our cue to get the hell out of here.
17:32Jesus!
17:33Shit!
17:34Sorry, sorry. I just got spooked by those bells. And then I heard someone coming.
17:38We're okay. Did you get that door open in the classroom?
17:41Not yet. Kenny sent me out to look for something we can use to bust it open. I found this.
17:47A bin? Where did you get that?
17:50I just found it. It was stuck in the door handle at the end of the hallway back there.
17:54Oh, no.
17:56Shit!
18:08Lee! Shoot this fucker!
18:15Shit!
18:16Found it!
18:22Lee!
18:45What the fuck is going on?
18:46They're coming.
18:48Oh, shit.
18:49That ought to hold them.
18:50Sure, but now how do we get out?
18:52Through the armory. We can just get this damn door open.
18:55Come on, damn you!
18:58Where's Molly?
18:59I don't think she made it.
19:04This is my fault. All my fault.
19:06What the hell's he babbling about?
19:07Man, we talked about this.
19:09No, wait. I want to know what he meant. What do you mean, this is all your fault?
19:13Kenny, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry, man.
19:16Kid, this ain't the best time. Whatever you did, save it for later.
19:20Fine. Go ahead. Tell him.
19:22It's been me all along, putting all of us in danger. Kacha and Duck. It was all me. It was all me.
19:32Wait a minute. What are you saying?
19:35It was me who made the deal with the bandits at the Motor Inn, slipping them supplies.
19:39I thought maybe I could keep them off our backs.
19:41When it got discovered, that's when they attacked. That's when Duck...
19:52Kenny, man, I agree with you. You should kick his ass. But now's not the time. We've got to focus on getting out of here.
19:59You little pisshead! You're fucking dead, you hear me? Dead! My wife and child, you got them both fucking killed!
20:06Kenny, listen to me. You can whoop his skinny little ass later, but right now we gotta go!
20:13If this asshole thinks he's getting on my boat after what he did, he's out of his motherfucking mind!
20:19You hear me, shitbird? You can stay behind and fucking rot!
20:24Kenny, I know you're upset. I understand. But you don't get to make a decision like that on your own. We're all in this together. We're a group.
20:32Sure! Take a vote! This is America! Fuck it! But before you all decide, there's something you ought to know.
20:39The boat's not big enough for all of us. Somebody's got to get left behind. Might as well be this piece of shit right here!
20:46Well, I vote we leave him. I'm sorry, Ben. I know you mean well. But all I want to do is get back to Omin, and you put that at risk.
20:55I'm sorry, Ben. I've got to do what's best for the group. And that means cutting you loose.
21:02What about the rest of us? Don't we get a say-
21:15Burn it!
21:25Ah!
21:31So much for the armory.
21:33What's left of it.
21:36A few rounds. That's it.
21:40You didn't close that door behind us?
21:41I couldn't. The lock was busted.
21:44Great. Just fucking great. Come on. There's got to be a way out down here.
21:55Fuck!
21:57It's not gonna hold. Back upstairs!
22:05Lee, look!
22:24Fuck!
22:54Oh, shit.
23:24Fuck!
23:55Fuck!
24:08Come on!
24:10Any way out of here?
24:12This leads to the roof. We might be able to find a way down from there.
24:15You didn't come into town from the railroad, did you?
24:18Yeah. Why?
24:20Never mind. I can see the sewer where we came in from here. I think we can do this.
24:25Well, what are we waiting for? Go! Go!
24:36Ben, come on! Let's go!
24:50No!
24:53Please!
25:01Please!
25:17Please!
25:20No!
25:33Omid?
25:35Clementine!
25:41Clementine!
25:50You made it back!
25:52Told you I would, didn't I?
25:54Did you find my parents?
25:58Clementine, what happened here?
26:00One of those things tried to get upstairs. I stopped it. But what about my...
26:03Upstairs? Omid!
26:08You did good, kiddo. Real good.
26:11Where's Molly?
26:12Hey, what do you say we go check on Omid?
26:16Krista? Everything okay?
26:19Omid!
26:30Krista, don't! Stay back!
26:32I never should have left you. I'm so sorry.
26:35Krista, get away from me!
26:37I'm sorry.
26:38I never should have left you. I'm so sorry.
26:41Krista, get away from him!
26:48Hey. Back already?
26:53We got you medicine.
26:55Good. Feel like I could use some.
27:02Where's Ben?
27:04He... didn't make it.
27:06What happened?
27:08Son of a bitch nearly got us all killed.
27:10Lee stepped up and did what he had to.
27:13That's what happened.
27:22Nice going, asshole.
27:24What's eating you?
27:26Well, I did what I had to.
27:28But I don't expect Clementine to understand that.
27:31Hell, I don't want her to understand it.
27:34You did the right thing. Trust me. She'll understand.
27:38I'm gonna go start work on the boat.
27:41Okay. With a little luck, you should start feeling better pretty soon.
27:46I'll stay here for a few more hours to check on him.
27:49Let me know if you need anything.
27:51Thanks, Doc.
27:53Yes. Thank you so much.
27:57Maybe now's a good time for you and me to have a little talk. In private.
28:08So you'll be returning to your group now?
28:11Yes. But not before I give you a piece of my mind.
28:14What?
28:16You don't think by now I got you figured?
28:19You don't strike me as someone who has a lot of consideration for others.
28:24Look at what you did to get me to come here with you in the first place.
28:28You expect me to believe you give a shit that it wound up costing Bree her life?
28:32Now just hold on a damn minute. Listen!
28:34No, you listen.
28:35You got some good people here and they look to you as their leader.
28:39Well, I'm here to tell you the kind of leader you are, they're not gonna make it much longer.
28:44And you're kidding yourself if you think putting them all on a boat is gonna solve anything.
28:49Now you may not care about all of those people, but I know you care about that little girl.
28:54Which is why I'm gonna make you an offer.
28:58What kind of an offer?
29:01I'll take her off your hands, take her back with me to my people.
29:05We're well supplied, well hidden, and a lot of us have had kids of our own.
29:10And now Crawford's fallen, we got nothing left to fear from them.
29:14She'll be safe with us. Safer than she will be if she stays with you, I promise you.
29:20That's what you want for her, isn't it? To be safe?
29:24I'm gonna pretend you didn't say any of this and give you a chance to walk away.
29:27Which you ought to do right now.
29:30I know you think you're doing what's best for her.
29:33And if you were her real father, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
29:37But you're not, and staying with you is not what's best for her.
29:41If no one else around here will tell you that, then I will.
29:46That little girl's in my care.
29:49We've been through more together than you can imagine.
29:52Anyone who tries to get between me and her, anyone!
29:55It's gonna wind up bad! You hear me?!
29:58Take your hands off me.
30:26Hey, sweet pea.
30:28Kenny's working on the boat.
30:30I know.
30:32What are we going to do after he fixes it? Where will we go?
30:41You and me. We're going to go our own way. Just like we agreed.
30:46We don't need anyone else. It's just gonna be the two of us.
30:50Cram, honey. What's wrong?
30:51What happened to Ben?
30:53What did Kenny mean when he said you did what you had to?
31:00Clem, you have to believe me. I tried to save him.
31:04Before we leave tomorrow, will we have time to look for my parents?
31:11We can't, Clem. I'm sorry.
31:14But they're in Crawford somewhere. They have to be.
31:17Clementina, I know you don't want to give up on them.
31:21But Crawford's just like every other place now.
31:24If your parents are there, they won't be like you remember them.
31:29And they won't remember you at all.
31:47I'm sorry.
32:17Clementine?
32:24Clementine?
32:30Clementine?
32:47Clementine?
32:57Clementine? Clementine!
33:03Oh, God.
33:17Ben?
33:48Ben?
34:10No. No. No.
34:14No. No.
34:15No. No, fuck.
34:18Lee? Lee? You out here? Lee?
34:28Are you crazy? What are you doing out here? It ain't safe.
34:32Lee, where's Clementine? She's not in her room.
34:35Vernon ain't in the house either.
34:37What the hell is going on?
34:39Whose blood is that?
34:41It's a Walker's. Fucker jumped me from behind.
34:43So where's Clementine?
34:45Clementine's gone.
34:47I found her hat and her radio on the ground out here.
34:50That's all I found.
34:52There's no chance she just wandered off on her own?
34:54No. No way.
34:56Then who the hell took her?
34:58I don't know. Last night Vernon came to me and offered to take her with him.
35:02Said she'd be better off.
35:04Son of a bitch. I knew we couldn't trust that fucker.
35:08Wherever she is, I have to find her.
35:15Clem may not have much time.
35:17We have a better chance of finding her if we all go together.
35:20Who's with me?
35:22Lee, I'm sorry. We can't. It's too risky for us.
35:26Christa, come on.
35:28I know. But Lee's asking us to put our trust in him.
35:30And that's just too hard for me.
35:32I hope you understand. I really am sorry.
35:36I hope you find her.
35:38But you're gonna have to do it without us.
35:40It's okay. I understand.
35:42This wasn't an easy decision, Lee. I want you to know that.
35:51Lee, man. You know I care about Clementine.
35:55And I am a Christian man.
35:57And I keep asking myself.
35:59If this was me asking you for help.
36:02Asking you to put your life on the line.
36:05Would you be there for me?
36:07Because there have been plenty of times when you ain't been.
36:09You know what, Kenny?
36:11Go fuck yourself.
36:13You gonna let a little girl die
36:15because I didn't have your back every damn minute?
36:18Maybe you should grow the fuck up.
36:20Do whatever you want, asshole.
36:22Lee, I know you think you and me might have been on the same page a few times lately.
36:27But the way I see it.
36:29You've never really had my back.
36:31Right from the beginning.
36:33You were never looking out for me in the first place.
36:35Not when it mattered.
36:37So pardon me if I'm not bending over backwards to help you and yours now.
36:42Then I guess that's how it's gotta be.
36:45I'll go alone.
36:47Don't expect me to wait for you.
36:49Once we get that boat out on the river, we're gone.
36:52Then I guess that's how it's gotta be.
36:55Good luck, Lee.
36:57I mean that.
36:59Yeah, man. Good luck.
37:01I'll be back.
37:05You too.
37:36Fuck.
37:50Where the hell are they?
37:56Vernon! Get out here!
37:59There doesn't have to be any trouble here.
38:01All I want is the girl.
38:02Give her back and nobody needs to get hurt!
38:32Come on.
38:57Clementine! Are you alright? Where are you?
39:02Vernon, you son of a bitch!
39:05Hello, Lee.
39:09Who is this?
39:11It's not Vernon if that's what you're thinking.
39:14And you should really watch your tone.
39:17Clementine's fine.
39:19But if I were you, I'd choose my next words very carefully.
40:03Okay, so, wow. Huge episode. Monster episode.
40:07That was episode four, Around Every Corner.
40:10Got one more left to go, and it looks like Lee is on his last leg.
40:16I kind of suspect it as much because it looks like the game series is primarily about Clementine,
40:22and it's almost like a staple of zombie fiction at this point,
40:26that the strong male lead has to die, whether it's Joel or...
40:32I guess Rick is the exception. I was going to say Rick, but...
40:36Anyways, man, this was amazing.
40:39Molly, I'm sorry. I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for her
40:43because she hoed herself out to that doctor, but I just don't.
40:47She made that choice. You know, she could have gotten tough with him
40:50just like she did with me, Lee.
40:53But she didn't. She just hoed herself out to a brittle old man
40:57instead of just muscling him, which she could have and should have.
41:01But, anyway, yeah, fantastic episode.
41:04Oh, God, I almost pulled the trigger to save Ben,
41:08and then I was like, what the hell am I doing?
41:11This guy has been a disaster from day one.
41:14He's been acting like he's going to die.
41:16This guy has been a disaster from day one.
41:19He's been absolutely worthless.
41:22He's gotten so many people killed.
41:25Honestly, I can't believe anybody spared his life.
41:28And Molly, yeah, I totally shot her.
41:31I'm not even going to pretend.
41:34I saw an opening and I went for it.
41:37I guess that makes me a horrible person, but she's just a horribly written character.
41:41I can't wait to see how this all turns out.
41:43This has been a fantastic journey.
41:46Thank you all so much for watching.
41:49This has been huge, huge fun for me.
41:52I've never played this game before, so this is a first-time experience.
41:57I'm just glad you guys are along for the ride.
42:00Don't forget to like and subscribe. Thank you.
