## Episode Transcript

### Act One

Harper, Matt, Jason, Lindsay, Theo, and Alexa all make their way to the boating exhibit, mere hours after the destruction of Crawford. Holding baby Izzie, Jason looks to Lindsay for assistance.

“Lemme get her…” Lindsay grabs Izzie from Jason’s arms, as Jason pulls a bottle from his bag, giving it to Lindsay. Lindsay begins feeding the baby.

“How far are we now?” Alexa asks Harper, who’s gained some distance from the rest of the group to scout out the area.

“We passed the sign about 20 minutes ago...so not too far, I’m guessing.” Harper tells her, keeping her guard up in case of any straggling walkers from the Magenta herd.

“Is that it right there?” Matt asks, pointing to a small building pointing out of the trees in a trail to the left.

“Y’know what…” Harper smiles, “I think it is.”

### Act Two

Outside of the shattered walls of what once was the haven of Crawford, Janine passes a bottle of water to Declan inside of a tattered shed.

“Do you think Kari’s okay?” Declan asks, taking a sip from the bottle without breaking eye contact.

“I don’t know…” Janine responds, sighing, “After we got him out of Crawford, he just didn’t wanna go. I’m surprised we were able to convince him, to be honest, with Jason still out there somewhere.”

“‘’If’’ he’s out there.” Declan mutters.

“He’s out there.” Janine stands, approaching the shed’s exit, “They all are. Most of them, at least. We barely saw any bodies. Only person we know for sure is Robbie, after you…”

Declan nods, following Janine outside.

### Act Three

The group walks through the trail, with Harper walking side by side with Matt behind the rest of the group.

“So...about Oberson…” Matt asks Harper, cryptic in his tone.

“Yeah. We can’t tell anyone.” Harper nods slowly, agreeing that it’s too dangerous, “If anyone were to ask, we never saw Amelio in Crawford. We got out as soon as the wall went down.”

Matt nods alongside Harper, “Alright. Theo is Amelio’s brother, so...if he were to find out. It wouldn’t be good.”

“Agreed. Let’s keep this to ourselves.”

### Act Four

“It’s time for us to go, I think.” Brandon whispers to Avery and Carley as the three sit atop a tower, while Crawford veins with the undead.

“Are you sure?” Carley asks.

“Positive. The herd is thinning out, so we have a chance to mow through them and get the hell out of here.”

Avery agrees, grabbing Brandon’s shoulder, “Then we go.”

Brandon grabs Avery’s hand, nodding. The three get their guns ready, and descend the ladder of the tower near the corner of the wall.

“Now or never, I guess…” Carley declares, revealing a second pistol, “Never leave home without two of these.”

Carley takes the front, blasting both of her sidearms into the herd. The sections where the panels intersect is gaping open from where Nea drove through the wall, as the three are successfully able to get through.

### Act Five

Kari trails behind Declan and Janine, whilst eager to see if his son was alive at the boating exhibit, dreadful of the other possibilities. Declan looks over his shoulder, taking note of Kari’s mood.

“He’s not getting any better. It’s been two days since we got out of Crawford, and still…” Declan grunts.

“The exhibit is just up ahead. ‘’Everyone’’ will be there, and it’ll all be okay.” Janine reassures him, “Kari, you feeling alright?”

Kari nods, “Yeah, just…”

Kari looks to his left, noticing the trail to the exhibit, “I think we’re here!?”

“Fuck yeah!” Declan exclaims, “Finally some good news…”

The trio approach the old building, ready to meet their companions. As they entered, the mood of the three shifted from glee to grim.

“Shit…” Janine mutters, as Kari plants his head against a wall. Corpses of walkers riddled the floors of the exhibit, a kayak which once was planted on the wall, now crushed a worm-filled shell of a former person, “This...isn’t good.”

“Wait, look…” Declan points, “They’re eating…”

Sure enough, a group of walkers in the corner feasted on ‘’someone’s’’ remains.

### Act Six

Harper and her group enter the boating exhibit, taking note of the signs around them, but the place seems completely empty.

“So...no one’s here yet?” Alexa asks, kicking over a small bucket.

“Looks pretty empty to me.” Lindsay mutters, approaching a slightly open door, pushing it open. She notices one walker inside leaning against a wall, a large machete impaling its shoulder and leaving it stuck to the wall.

“That’s weird…” Jason follows, holding the baby once more.

“Yeah. I don’t like it.” Lindsay slowly walks toward the walker, kicking it in the forehead. The back of its head impales a large nail behind it, killing it instantly. Lindsay reaches for the machete, pulling it out.

“Good one.” Jason smiles. Lindsay nods and returns to the rest of the group.

“So what are we gonna do now? Wait around for everyone else to show up?” Theo asks, crossing his arms.

“Yeah, I guess…” Harper sighs, sitting on a crate, “For now, that’s our be-”

She’s interrupted as someone jumps in through a door, terrified. Tara.

### Act Seven

Brandon reaches over to Avery, handing him a can of opened beans, about three quarters full, “Hungry?”

Avery nods, taking the can from Brandon. Their eye contact lingers for a moment as Brandon frames a half smile. Carley raises an eyebrow, sitting a few feet away from the two.

“So…” Carley stands, looking into the window of one of the two small buildings, a pharmacy and a hardware store, looking for danger, “What’s the plan?”

Brandon sighs, “I don’t have the slightest idea on how we can find the others.”

Avery approaches Carley, also glaring through the window, “Well, they did talk about a rendezvous at one point. An exhibit.”

“Yeah...but Savannah is full of those. It’ll be like looking for a needle in a city full of walkers.” Carley declares, as her attention is caught by something else. Someone else. In the bush.

### Act Eight

“What the hell happened? Who were you with?” Theo asks Tara, annoyed by her sudden entrance, “Was Amelio with you?!”

“No, he wasn’t...I was with Riley, Ben, uh...Amanda, Leah, and David...but we got separated.” Tara mutters, still frightened, “Amanda got bit...I think. I couldn’t tell, but Leah went chasing after her and they didn’t come back. Riley, Ben, and David went to find them after we took care of the walkers, and they haven’t come back since.”

“How long has it been?” Harper asks, getting right up to Tara’s face.

“Hours. A long time.” Tara shudders, hearing a creak behind her. Tara quickly turns, as a walker from under a table grabs her leg. She screams in shock, causing Harper to fall over backward.

“SHIT!” Matt yells, running to help Harper, however, Jason has the same idea. As he’s running, another walker from under another table grabs Jason’s ankle, causing him to fall. He lands on top of a door, hitting his head, and forcing the door open. Inside are tens of walkers, lying on the ground. Harper quickly gets up, helping Jason. The two run to Tara.

“HELP ME!” Tara screams out, as the walker bites into her leg, drawing a large amount of blood. She screams out in pain, as the walkers pour out of the room behind her.

“OH SHIT!!” Lindsay yells, as a walker grabs her shoulder. As it’s teeth draw closer to her neck, Alexa quickly fires a shot into the walker’s eye socket, killing it. Lindsay, with the gunshot ringing in her ears, groans and falls.

“Oh, God…” Alexa mutters, looking as the walkers come from behind Tara, yanking onto her hair, pulling her down. The group is forced to watch as the pack devours Tara, her arm twitching atop the crate.

“We gotta GO!” Harper yells, helping everyone out of the building. Matt nods, and they run, leaving Tara behind.

### Act Nine

“Who is it?!” Kari demands, rushing toward the corpse. Declan wraps his arm around Kari’s torso, pulling him back. Kari’s loudness catches the attention of the walkers, as they turn around for their next meal.

“We gotta go!” Janine yells, taking the safety off of her pistol, “We can’t take them all!”

Declan nods, getting ready to turn, as the corpse being devoured stands up, revealing itself to be Tara.

“Shit…” Declan mutters. Janine bows her head, then raises her gun to Tara. She shakes slightly as the walkers advance, “Janine, we don’t have time.”

Janine nods, unable to do it, and exits the building. Kari watches Declan, “What are you doing?!”

Declan looks to Kari, revealing his own gun. He looks to Tara’s reanimated corpse, and fires a round into her head. The two quickly escape from the building, following Janine.

### Act Ten

Declan trails behind Kari and Janine as they make distance from the exhibit. Kari nudges Janine, “Hey, uh...is Declan alright?”

Janine raises an eyebrow, confused, “Why wouldn’t he be?”

“It’s just...when we were leaving the exhibit, he shot Tara.”

“I’m aware…”

“Yeah, but, he stopped you before. Like he wanted to do it himself.”

Janine nods, considering it, “I couldn’t do it. Maybe he saw that. Or maybe…”

Kari, curious, nudges her again, “Well?”

Janine quickly shakes her head, “He lost himself when Lilly’s group captured us. He was reckless and nearly got the both of us killed. The only reason we got out was because Lilly’s sister helped us. He wanted to go back and kill Lilly when we were in the clear.”

“So you don’t trust his judgement, I’m guessing?” Kari asks, as Janine nods, “I agree. He’s a loose cannon, and we don’t want another Larry situation on our hands.”

“He’s the one who tried to kill someone from the old group, right?” Janine reassures, not quite remembering that event.

“Yeah.” Kari glares at the back of Declan’s head, “He was.”

### Act Eleven

“Come on!” Brandon whispers as Carley and Avery join him inside of the pharmacy. They peek their heads up from the window and see a man and a woman with backpacks.

“You sure this is the place, Jenn?” The man asks, as they enter the hardware store, leaving the door open.

“Shit…” Carley mutters, listening in with the other two.

Distantly, they’re barely able to hear as Jenn starts speaking, “I’m sure. J said it was this area, but I’m not sure if the package has been dropped off yet. We might be early.”

Everything is quiet for a moment, as Carley, Brandon, and Avery remain with their backs against the wall.

“What’s happening?” Avery whispers, as they hear yelling.

“STEVE!” Jenn exclaims, as they hear Steve yelling.

“Shit....” Brandon mutters, “If they’re in trouble, we gotta help them.”

“Why? We don’t know them, they could be with the people who took Declan and Janine.” Carley whispers.

The three watch as Jenn and Steve exit the building, Steve covered in blood, but okay.

“See? They’re fine. Let’s go.” Carley tries to get up, but is stopped by Brandon.

“Wait…” He declares.

“I swear, I almost get bitten just so Jonathan can get snail mail from his BFF’s.” Steve yells, clearly annoyed.

“Jonathan…?” Avery asks, looking at Carley.

“Shit.” Carley shakes her head, “We gotta go. ‘’now.’’”

### Act Twelve

Hours after Tara’s unfortunate demise, Harper’s gang has fled Savannah completely. With no end in sight to their trek, Harper and Matt once more converse on a plan.

“I’m worried about what will happen if Theo somehow finds out about Amelio and it doesn’t come from us.” Harper tells him, lagging behind the rest of the group.

“Me, too,” Matt tells her sternly, “But how in hell would he find out? We were the only two there.”

“Well…” Harper rubs her neck, “I told Declan beforehand about getting inside of that room. Plus, Theo and Alexa have caught us trying to get in there. I know Declan is...gone, right now. But WHEN we find him and Janine, who knows what they’ll say?”

“Yeah…” Matt sighs, “We just have to hope no one knows that Amelio was there when we got the door open.”

“What door?” Alexa asks, emerging from a tree holding a handful of blueberries. Harper and Matt are shocked, “You mean ‘’Oberson’s’’ door?”

Alexa crosses her arms.

“Uh…” Matt mutters, annoyed that they were caught, “No?”

“Cut the bullshit. I wanna know EXACTLY what happened, and I wanna know NOW.” Alexa firmly insists, in a hushed tone. Matt slightly nods at Harper.

### Act Thirteen

“Let’s go, we’re screwed if they find us.” Carley quietly attempts to get up, but accidentally knocks over a small shelf.

“Well…” Brandon mutters, rolling his eyes.

“Did you hear that?” Jenn yells, looking at Steve.

“It was probably a walker.” Steve tells her, ready to leave.

“No...no.” Jenn tells him, walking toward the pharmacy, as Steve rolls his eyes and follows.

“They’re coming. What do we do?!” Avery asks, ready to run. Carley looks around for a possible exit point, noticing a storage closet across the side they’re on.

“Let’s go. Quick.” Carley shuffles toward it. Jenn and Steve enter the building…

Empty.

“See? I told you. Nothing to worry about. Let’s go!” Steve tells her, leaving. Jenn stands, squinting her eyes in suspicion as she inspects the pharmacy.

“You coming?” Steve asks her from outside.

“Yeah. I’m coming.” Jenn leaves.

### Act Fourteen

“DEAD?” Alexa shouts, as Theo, Jason, Lindsay, and Izzie are a good distance away.

“Keep it DOWN.” Matt whispers, not wanting to attract the others.

“No, this is too much.” Alexa insists, enraged over the news. She begins walking toward the others, “I’m telling Theo. His brother is dead, he has to know.”

“Jesus...stop her.” Harper tells Matt. Matt shrugs, and approaches Alexa. Suddenly, a walker emerges from the forest, grabbing Alexa.

“SHIT!” Harper yells, watching as Matt stands by idly, doing nothing, “What the fuck, Matt?”

The walker tackles Alexa, however, Harper runs toward it, kicking it in the head. She grabs her gun, putting a bullet in its forehead. Harper looks at Matt coldly, and helps Alexa up.

“Than-” Alexa mutters out, as a large group of walkers emerges from the forest, “Oh, God…”

Alexa begins trying to fight them off, as her and Harper lock eyes as the herd gets between the two of them and Matt. Matt attempts to take them down, however, a walker pushes Alexa, causing her to fall down a hill in the woods.

“FUCK!” Harper yells, taking out her gun once more, “I’m going after her. Go get the others, meetup back at the exhibit! NOW!”

Matt nods, ashamed of abandoning Alexa. He runs to find the others, as Harper slides down the hill to rescue their lost companion.
