00:00Previously on Dead City
00:07Look, I'm going to get that methane
00:09With your help or without it
00:11Exploratory mission, huh?
00:14There's the first wave
00:15The conscripts
00:17We should go, we should
00:19We can't go
00:20I can't go
00:22She stays here just like this
00:24It's her best chance for recovery
00:26Get the Barazzi right
00:27We've got work to do
00:29It's all going to be okay now
00:31Everything's going to work out
00:59We've got work to do
01:01We've got work to do
01:02We've got work to do
01:03We've got work to do
01:04We've got work to do
01:05We've got work to do
01:06We've got work to do
01:07We've got work to do
01:08We've got work to do
01:09We've got work to do
03:10Good news.
03:11Negan's willing to meet.
03:13We're going to get the kids together for a play date and us moms are going to talk strategy.
03:17I better get the fucking keys to the city when this is all done.
03:20Call me mayor.
03:21Any sign of the grill yet?
03:22It's so strange to think that centuries ago, so long ago, these same weapons were used for the same purpose.
03:34That's how long we've been at this killing thing, right?
03:37Not that it isn't for a good cause, because we've got to kill people to get the old world back so we can just keep on killing people.
03:44I asked you about the girl.
03:45What?
03:46The girl.
03:48Oh, the girl.
03:50Oh, I'm sure she's fine.
03:52Yeah, she was catching up to that woman and her kid.
03:54That's what I'd be doing, because those two are just a barrel of laughs.
04:00Relax.
04:00Don't worry about it.
04:03You're already making new friends.
04:21Where is she?
04:23It's not what you think.
04:25She came to me.
04:26She said that she'd kill Negan, but she couldn't get to the church because she's, I don't know, sick or hurt, so we just gave her a lift.
04:36You don't know what you've done.
04:39Well, clearly she didn't pull it off, right?
04:41Because she doesn't want to kill him.
04:43She's confused.
04:44It's not, that's not what it's about.
04:46Well, what's it about?
04:48Is she like his kid or something?
04:53See the look on your face?
04:56Come on.
05:01This is good.
05:04I knew Negan mattered to her.
05:06And now, thanks to you, I know she matters to him.
05:09So if things go sideways for us, she's our insurance.
05:12You're touching her, I swear to God, that'll be the last thing you do.
05:15I'm not saying it needs to go down that way.
05:17I hope it doesn't, truly.
05:18See, this is fun.
05:23It's what I'm talking about.
05:26The fun of the game.
05:27You know what else?
05:28On top of everything, I learned something new about you.
05:31Behind all this gruff cowboy act, you're a softie.
05:34I learned something new about you, too.
05:39Yeah.
05:40They're asking for you upstairs.
05:58The show's about to start.
06:09You don't have to stick around if you don't have the stomach for it.
06:12Like I said, I have nowhere to go.
06:16I'm with you all the way.
06:22Although, I guess I could be here more in spirit, per se.
06:28Open, or I'll just...
06:58I'm with you all the way.
07:28I was hoping we'd get to meet.
07:46You're everything I was expecting and more, I'm sure.
07:53Where's my son?
07:55Oh, he's here.
07:57Of his own volition.
07:58You must be famished.
08:04You must be famished.
08:04You must be famished.
08:28You must be famished.
08:34You must be famished.
08:40You must be famished.
08:48You must be famished.
08:48You must be famished.
08:50There's that more I was waiting for.
09:10Give it.
09:11I don't want to have to punish you.
09:26Or anyone else.
09:41I don't want to have to be in charge.
09:53I don't want to have to be in charge.
10:00I'm not going to have to be in charge.
10:05Up, up, up, up.
10:17Careful.
10:18Careful.
10:19Careful.
10:20Down.
10:21Down.
10:22Easy.
10:23Nicely.
10:24Fingers.
10:25Watch your fingers.
10:27Gentle.
10:28Good.
10:29Well done.
10:31I figured you could use a new piece, you know, to help pull the room together.
10:36Seeing as how that old one's been there for 150 years.
10:40Call it a housewarming gift.
10:42It looks used.
10:44Oh, it was.
10:46By the Spanish.
10:4713th century.
10:49Um, where's your buddy, by the way?
10:52Oh, the Croat.
10:54He, uh, has taken a leave of absence.
10:57Some shit like that.
10:59Oh.
11:00Got something for you too.
11:02A little welcome gift.
11:04See, I know we have a little talking to do.
11:06We gotta plot our next moves, right?
11:08We both know the new Babylon isn't done with us yet.
11:11So, please, step up.
11:14Help yourselves.
11:16Something's off.
11:17Don't want to strategize on an empty stomach.
11:20You know, actually, we ate before we can.
11:25I don't think we should waste any more time.
11:27You got somewhere to be?
11:29No.
11:30No, no.
11:31It's just what you said.
11:32New Babylon is just starting.
11:34Who's to say they're not here, right now, on this island?
11:38Rather than food, let's just dive into our thoughts.
11:41I've got so many.
11:42Oh, I have no doubt.
11:44But see, the thing is, so much work was put into this big, beautiful feast that I'd hate to have it go to waste.
11:50I'd feel like such a bad host.
12:08Go ahead.
12:09You eat.
12:10We'll wait.
12:11You think I put something in the food.
12:16Of course not.
12:30Your loss.
12:32You're good.
12:50We good?
12:52We're good.
12:54We're good.
13:24No, no, no, get back!
13:34Everyone back!
13:38I know you think I'm using your son.
13:43You're right.
13:44I am.
13:45The old world was rigged, designed to break us and rip us apart.
13:52But Herschel never knew that world, which is why he can dream up something that you and
14:00I never could.
14:03We'll of course need someone to protect that new world.
14:08I'd hoped that person could be Negan, but thoughts can be deceiving.
14:18Herschel told me what you were capable of.
14:22But the fact that you're here now, you still haven't given up.
14:28I'm only sorry it took me so long to see it.
14:35So that is what all of this is about.
14:40You want me to come at Negan?
14:42Huh.
14:44I would have thought that we would have this in common, wanting Negan dead.
14:51But I understand.
14:54When Negan is up, you feel the need to knock him down.
14:58And when he's down, you have to prop him back up.
15:02You're stuck in a loop.
15:03You can't let it go.
15:07You can't let him go.
15:10And how could you?
15:12He murdered your husband violently, gleefully.
15:18After losing so many people who meant so much to you.
15:25Your mother.
15:27Your father.
15:31Your sister.
15:32And now, your son.
15:38He needed you.
15:41But how could you be there for him?
15:44When you couldn't be there for yourself?
15:46It's okay, Maggie.
15:52You can still get him back.
15:57Negan is still out there.
15:59Widowing wives and orphaning children.
16:03Only you can stop him.
16:07Only you can kill him.
16:13Don't do it for me.
16:15Do it for you.
16:16Do it for Herschel.
16:21Set yourselves free.
16:46No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
17:16Let's get out of here.
17:46Let's go!

20:09Let's go!
20:11Let's go!
20:14Let's go!
20:16Let's go!
20:18You're right.
20:23I'm not over it.
20:26I've never been over it.
20:30I think about him all the time.
20:33I think about what he did.
20:36And I know that I have to let it go.
20:38I know that it's the only way.
20:43No matter how hard I try, I can't seem to do it.
20:47Sorry.
20:50I know, Mom.
20:54I know you tried.
20:58But it's like you said.
21:01It's not working.
21:05I want us to be a family.
21:08I want to move on.
21:11And be free.
21:14But there's only one way.
21:22And then...
21:24We can just be done with it.
21:29We can start over.
21:32Okay.
21:38I'll finish it.
21:42Then I'll come back for you.
21:44So this is what you used to encrest the bodies.
21:52The bombs.
21:54You really came up here just to look at those cannons.
22:04Definitely.
22:05It's because of them that you defeated New Babylon on the water.
22:09If history were a conflagration, then these cannons would be the embers.
22:12Or is it because you're a huge fucking pussy who doesn't want to be at the church while shit goes down?
22:17No.
22:18No.
22:19No.
22:20No.
22:21No.
22:22No.
22:23Was that boat there before?
22:47Was that boat there before?
22:51Um...
23:03Shit.
23:09Who are you? Who are you with?
23:14New Babylon.
23:21New Babylon.
23:27New Babylon.
23:37New Babylon.
23:43New Babylon.
23:49Little girl, don't be scared.
24:19Don't be scared, it's me, your old pal.
24:28What?
24:33Jimmy, Jimmy.
24:35It was him. This guy. He got me to do this. The rest of his people, they're hiding in the park.
24:54Oh, there's dozens of them, like 50 at least. They ambushed us, they took hostages.
25:00Now you know how I care about my people. I couldn't just like...
25:04Megan, I know things about New Babylon. I do. I know how they operate.
25:17And with the methane, we can beat them. And then we can bring back the old world.
25:24The way it used to be. Not just a couple of blocks, but the whole city. The old fucking planet.
25:29And then you and me, we'll be back on top. The winners. With all the spoils. Just like it used to be.
25:37On your knees.
25:42On your knees.
25:47You too, Marshal.
26:05You too, Marshal.
26:35More news.
26:38Amy.
26:41Amy.
26:42Amy.
26:44Mynie.
26:45Mo.
26:47Catch the tiger.
26:49By his toe.
26:53If he hollers, let him go.
26:59Amy.
27:01Amy.
27:02Miney...
27:06Moe!
27:09Hey, hey.
27:12You know what, fuck it.
27:22See, you're the one that I really want to kill first.
27:26Negan, no, come on, please. Please!
27:28There's nothing we can't do, you and me.
27:30The methane!
27:30The methane! The goddamn methane!
27:34That is all you talk about!
27:37You really want the methane that bad?
27:44Take it.
27:45Carry on.
27:52Carry on.
27:53Carry on.
28:00Arrgh!
28:03Arrgh!
28:03Arrgh!
28:08Arrgh!
28:10Oh, my God.
28:40I got this.
29:02Shouldn't have come here.
29:10Glad you did.
29:12See, I know what you're thinking.
29:19See, you're thinking you should have shot me when you had the chance.
29:28And you'd be right.
29:33You sure as shit should have.
29:40Thing is, now...
29:43Well, now it's too late.
30:03Whatever you think you saw, it's not like that.
30:10I was protecting her.
30:13Maybe.
30:16See, I am so fucking sick of maybes.
30:20I'm so fucking sick of maybes.
30:23I'm so fucking sick of maybes.
30:26I'm so fucking sick of maybes.
30:30I'm so fucking sick of maybes.
30:37Oh!
30:39Oh!
30:42Oh!
30:43Oh!
30:50Oh!
30:51Oh!
30:53Oh!
30:54Oh!
30:55Oh!
30:56Oh!
30:57Oh!
30:58Oh!
30:59Oh!
31:29Oh, my God.
31:59No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:29Did he?
32:40Eddie, no!
32:45No!
32:50No!
32:59No!
33:00No!
33:01No!
33:02No!
33:03No!
33:04No!
33:05No!
33:07No!
33:28No.
33:29No!
33:30No!
33:31No!
33:32No!
33:33No!
33:42Jim?
33:43I don't know.
34:13I don't know.
34:43I don't know.
35:13I'm doing this.
35:28You got no choice.
35:30I was...
35:46I was so busy looking out for her, thinking I was looking out for her.
35:57I missed it.
36:01I just...
36:03I just missed it.
36:05That's how...
36:09Now she died...
36:11She died alone.
36:13There's something I gotta do.
36:25I have to go.
36:27I have to go.
36:29I have to go.
36:33I have to go.
36:35I have to go.
36:37I have to go.
36:39I have to go.
36:41I have to go.
36:43I have to go.
36:45I have to go.
36:47I have to go.
36:49I have to go.
36:50I have to go.
36:51I have to go.
36:53I have to go.
36:54I have to go.
36:55I have to go.
36:57I have to go.
36:59I have to go.
37:00I have to go.
37:01I have to go.
37:02I have to go.
37:03I have to go.
37:04I have to go.
37:10You have to go.
37:12You promised.
37:15You promised me.
37:18You said you understand...
37:22You said we could start over.
37:24You didn't mean it.
37:26You just...
37:27It's the same as it always is.
37:30That's how he sees.
37:38We were wrong.
37:43It's not like how we said.
37:46And killing Negan would only make it worse.
37:50And that's not how we're gonna...
37:53Don't!
38:00Whatever. It doesn't matter.
38:04She and I'll get there together.
38:06I know what you're going through.
38:09You think that you wanna run off and be somebody different?
38:14You wanna hurt me.
38:16You wanna hurt me back.
38:21Just make...
38:22Right, cuz you got it all figured out.
38:25Cuz you did so fucking perfectly yourself!
38:30Just know I will always be here for you.
38:38I won't leave the city.
39:00I'll leave the city.
39:18I really want to make you three of my friends.
39:20New Babylon, second wave.
39:43That's it, then.
39:45They'll get the methane and...
39:49So where do we go from here?
40:12Walking through the woods, a man comes to a fork in his path.
40:15To go left is to go home, his past.
40:24To go right is to go out into the unknown, his future.
40:30He knows his past.
40:32It's comforting.
40:34But will it be like he remembers?
40:36And his future is full of possibilities, but...
40:42What if he gets lost?
40:46Which way does he go?
40:47He goes left.
40:56Back home to the way things were.
40:59But all that's waiting for him is an old story that hurts too much to remember.
41:08So he goes right.
41:14But there's nothing there for him either.
41:17Because what's the future without the past?
41:25What's an ending without that old story?
41:28The truth is, there is only one way forward.
41:35One way to move on.
41:40We gotta work through what was.
41:42To get to what will be.
41:47It's a path that's hard and rough, all uphill.
41:59We keep thinking we'll never make it.
42:01Sometimes, we see where we're headed.
42:08We catch a glimpse of the mountaintop.
42:12It's so beautiful, it takes our breath away.
42:17But then, we lose our footing.
42:20We tumble backwards.
42:22Right back to the bottom.
42:26So that it feels like we'll never get up again.
42:31But we do.
42:34We help each other up.
42:36And the path becomes much clearer now.
42:41We move on.
42:44Together.
42:48And we get there.
42:54I was hoping we'd get to meet.
43:01Lisa started on the show last year, and for all of the season, we haven't been able to work together.
43:05I've never done a scene in this series with another woman.
43:09So, finally, we get to meet.
43:11God, was I happy.
43:12I would have thought that we would have this in common, wanting Negan dead.
43:18I think my talk with Maggie was manipulation.
43:21All I really want is for her to kill Negan.
43:24Don't do it for me.
43:26Do it for Herschel.
43:28Set yourselves free.
43:29Negan just gets screwed, you know what I mean?
43:43It's the culmination of the years of tension that have wound her so tightly and in some ways kept her upright that then she's able to just release in a way that she'd never otherwise be able to release.
43:56I think for Lauren and Jeffrey, it was a big deal and it was a big moment.
44:01Grab the bat and go.
44:08I have never picked up that bat.
44:10The moment that Maggie actually picks it up sent chills down my spine.
44:15Holding it, it was just an interesting transfer of energy that was surprising to me.
44:20When Ginny emerges as a walker from the cell, it was powerful for all of us, you know, because not only is this character dying, this is the actor's last scene.
44:37The Negan-Ginny storyline was such an important part of last season to then kind of take that away and build it elsewhere.
44:46It was an interesting way to go.
44:48On all levels, it was a hard scene, but a beautiful scene, and she was a good walker, and we were all emotional that day.
45:00I think we know, you and I, and I think the audience will know, it's exactly how it played out with Lucille.
45:06And it breaks him because he loves Ginny.
45:08Herschel, he keeps sort of expecting that maybe this time, he and his mom can move past the trauma that seems to be holding them back, the Negan of it all.
45:32And every time he makes himself vulnerable and lets himself believe that they can move past this, he's reminded that they're not over it and that they're not past it.
45:41And then it hurts all over again for him, and so he lashes out.
45:44Just know I will always be here for you.
45:47I won't leave the city.
45:49To me, it's like the kernel of what could be some kind of new relationship.
45:54They got a long way to go, but for a second, you could see a glimpse of the type of relationship that these two could have, that they could work through this.
46:00So where do we go from here?
46:03We end the season on Negan, Maggie, and Armstrong inspired to work together to fight for a better world.
46:09And that world is not going to be the Dama's world, and it's not going to be New Babylon's world.
46:13It's something else.
46:15I think that it means that this story's not over yet.
46:18There is only one way forward.
46:21We got to work through what was.
46:24To get to what will be.
46:30To get to what we're going to do, we're going to be the Dama's world, and we're going to be the Dama's world.
47:00To get to what we're going to do, we're going to be the Dama's world.
