The Walking Dead - Episode 4, Season 1

As the 6 members of the "Council" that leads this camp, their names are:

Jim - Head of the Council

Shane - Second-In-Charge of the Council

Dale - Member of the Council

Daryl - Member of the Council

Maggie - Member of the Council

Glenn - Member of the Council

The meeting took place at afternoon to discuss about the new arrival, Max Hellmuth.

Dale: "Listen, he can be an important member of us.. He CAN help us. We are the only ones going out for supplies. The rest are just living off us!"

Daryl: "Dale, you know that he will be one more mouth to feed!"

Maggie: "Jack is right. We barely can feed ourselves."

Glenn: "I mean.. Our objective is to help other people, right?"

Shane: "Not when we are in this kind of situation running low on supplies."

Jim remained silent, while the others were debating.

Dale: "Jim? You decide."

Jim looked around, analyzing everyone's faces.

Jim: "If he wants to, he will stay here."

Shane: "Jim-"

Jim: "No more discussions. He will stay here if that's what he desires."

Dale and Glenn expressed their happinesses, while Maggie, Shane and Daryl were upset with the decision.

Jim: "But I have one condition, I need to meet up with him."

Dale: "Yes, I will bring him soon enough."

Jim: "Good. Now, all of you leave."

Everyone leaves the room, while Dale gets Max to the RV to meet up with Jim.

Dale: "Jim is a bit more strict, so be careful, alright?"

Max: "Don't worry. I know how to talk."

Max walks inside the RV, and looks at Jim. Jim goes for a handshake, but Max ignores.

Jim: "So, you are Max. Aren't you?"

Max: "Yes."

Jim: "I wanted to know you better."

Max: "For What?"

Jim: "The Council voted about you. And we decided that you can stay with us."

Max: "I'm sorry, but I refuse the offer."

Jim looked over at Max, surprised for the answer.

Jim: "Interesting choice.. In this new world, everyone is trying to find a group."

Max: "Yeah well, I need to find my family first."

Jim: "So that's why you want to leave?"

Max: "Of course."

Jim: "Okay, but first.. I still want to know you."

Max: "About what."

Jim: "What were you before all of this happened?"

Max: "I was in the Marine Corps."

Jim was actually impressed of Max, and knew he was a valuable man because of this combat experiences.

Jim: "What if I gave you Shane and Glenn to find your family? They know the area. They can help you."

Max: "I think I am better off alone."

Jim: "No, I implore you. Please take them with you."

Max: "Okay.. We're leaving in an hour."

Jim: "I will tell them."

Max: "And just so you know, I am leaving now to get back to my car and get my gear I had."

Jim: "Okay. Take care."

Max walked out of the camp, going to his abandoned car. After 20 minutes, he arrives at the crash. He opened the trunk, finding his colt python and his army belt. He equips his belt, then holstered his colt python. Max started to walk back to the camp. He arrives back on time to leave for the search of Max's family. Max looks at Shane and Glenn who prepared a car for the trip.

Max: "Everything ready?"

Glenn: "Yeah.."

Shane walked up to Max, and looked at him upset.

Shane: "Listen, we're doing this because Jim told us to. If it was me, I would never help you."

Max: "You're welcome to stay. I don't care if you come or not."

Shane looked at him, then turned to the car and hopped in the backseat.

Glenn: "Max, you're driving."

Max nodded, and hopped in the driver's seat, while glenn hopped in the front seat. As they were driving on the highway, Shane looks at Max.

Shane: "I think we should start off in Atlanta. There's supposed to be a refugee camp. We planned to go there soon."

Glenn: "I don't know.. Why did they stop the broadcasts if it was still working?"

Max: "What was the last broadcast? I was unconcious at the time."

Shane looked at Max with a sad expression.

Shane: "The last message was.. 'WE are the walking dead.' We still don't know what they meant.."

Max looked at Glenn and Shane, confused.

Max: "Wait.. Does that mean we're ALL infected?"

Glenn: "Then why didn't we turn?! It's been weeks."

Shane: "I don't know.. Maybe we turn when we die..?"

Max: "But if you smash a dead's head, he dies."

Glenn: "Wait! I think I know."

Max and Shane curiously looked at Glenn.

Glenn: "What if we turn when we are not shot in the head, for example if you shoot me into my heart, I turn into a walker."

Max: "That makes sense. When I crashed into some tree, some walker attacked me and he was shot in his chest, but he still was a walker. Then I smashed his head open and he died."

Shane: "Looks like we all know now how this whole thing works.."

Glenn: "We're close to Atlanta!"
