Who Are The Walking Dead? Episode 2 Script

Written by Seth Sipe

Episode 2: Keep Hope Alive

Intro

(Black Background immediately vanishes to a backyard blocked by a small fence. Someone walks up, and unlatches the latch. He is armed with a pistol and a machete. It’s Chris. He sees the back door is slightly cracked open. He opens the door with his gun drawn. He checks doors and corners throughout the entire house. His walkie talkie goes off.)

Sam: Chris? (Chris reaches for his walkie talkie.) Chris?

Chris: Yeah, Sam, I’m here. I’m in a house, pal.

Sam: Sorry. Are you good? (Chris looks for a minute.)

Chris: Yeah.

Sam: Alright just wanted to let you know; Jacob’s worried by you, and is kinda freaking out.

Chris: Tell him not to worry me. I’m getting food right now. See you in an hour.

Sam: Copy that. (Chris continues to search. Once he finds the computer room, he sees a bill. He reads it and becomes very interested. He goes to flip on a light switch. The lights turn on.) I love generators. (The scene cuts to Chris taking canned food. He goes to check the refrigerator and sees fresh food. He sighs with relief. The scene cuts to Chris set a place for himself in the dining room. He takes off his pouch, machete, and gun. He slowly sits down, and begins to eat. He looks down the table and sounds like a family laughing together are heard.  Because he is lost in thought he doesn’t notice the walkers at the window ahead. He becomes a little startled when he finally sees the walkers ahead. He slowly grabs his weapons and bag. He makes his way out to the backyard and over the fence and into the woods.)

(Walking Dead music plays. Logo appears.)

 

Scene 1: Department Store

(Jacob pulls up to a building and parks. As he hops out of the truck he gently shuts the door. He signals everyone to go forward. They pull up to the side of a wall and slide along it. They are very cautious. Clips of them walking through different parts of town take place. They kill walkers along the way.

Jacob: (He begins to draw in sand on the ground. whispers) Ok there should be a department store here. This is where all the market used to be. Hopefully there is something still there.

Chris: (whispers) I say we split up.

Jacob: (whispers) No way!

Chris: (whispers) No. I’m saying you hang with Sam while I cut through the woods to see if that neighborhood back there had anything left.

Jacob: (whispers) That’s Rich District.

Grace: (whispers) Rich District?

Jacob: (whispers) Yeah the richest part of this town. That’s what we call it. Sounds like a good plan, I guess. Grace and Xavier head to department store. Sam and I are going to see if we can get into the high school. We’ll back at the department store in an hour. Questions? (Sam raises his hand.) What?

Sam: (playfully whispers) I like to whisper too. (Chris chuckles slightly while Jacob rolls his eyes.)

Jacob: (whispers) On the hour. Let’s move.

Sam: (whispers) It’s from a movie.

Jacob and Chris: (whispers) We know.

Sam: Buddy the elf.

Jacob: Shh!

(They find a little department store.)

Jacob: Chris this place is really ransacked. I’m not sure this was a good idea, man.          

Chris: Don’t worry. We’ve barely got through a quarter of this place. We’ll find something.

Grace: We’ve got something here. (She’s found boxes of food.)

Chris: Nice catch, Grace.

Grace: Don’t look at me. Xavier found them.

Chris: Oh, well. Nice catch, Xavier!

Jacob: Shh. Party when we get back home.

Sam: Hold on. The boxes out in the open like this. This looks like someone’s already claimed this. We can’t take these. (They all stop and think.)

Jacob: We need this food, buddy.

Grace: So does someone else.

Xavier: Why don’t we just take half? This seems a little excessive anyway.

Grace: I like that.

Chris: Let’s vote on it. All those in favor of taking half of the food, raise your hand. ( They all raise their hands.) Alright. (Scene cuts forward. They have gathered all the food and are walking back to the truck.)

Sam: Why do we have to carry this all the way back to the truck?

Chris: The truck makes noise, bro.

Sam: Can’t we try to get a little closer?

Jacob: Keep it down. You want walkers to hear ya.  (Jacob’s walkie turns on and makes loud staticy noise.)

Sam: Yeah try not to trip over that.

Jacob: Blue Jeans, what’s up? (Static.) Blue Jeans.

BJ: (Over the radio) Jacob. Something’s happening.

Jacob: What’s up?

BJ: I see something in the binoculars. Someone’s coming. Get back here quick.

Jacob: We’re on the way. Let’s move everyone. (They all hurry. When suddenly Chris and Sam stop because they see a walker.) What? Haven’t you guys seen a walker before? (Jacob stops and takes a closer look.) Brother Rob. (They continue to stare.) Guys we gotta go. I’ll take care of him. Don’t worry. I won’t leave him like this. (Sam and Chris go with their supplies. Jacob removes his handgun tucked back behind his pants. Aims and says…) Love you, brother. (Fires. Scene cuts to Jacob starting the car. The car is now hurrying to the church. The team looks ahead and sees someone ahead. They’re shooting at walkers.)

Chris: Jacob what’s the play?

Grace: This is pretty close to the church. Is this the thing Blue Jeans called us about?

Chris: Jacob what’s the play? (Jacob thinks for a moment.)

Jacob: Get ready to jump! (Chris checks his gun. Jacob pulls up.) Go! (Chris jumps out and fires. There seems to be two people. A guy and a girl. They’re fighting off walkers. The team helps out. The guy is caught by surprise and is bitten and on the ground. The girl goes crazy on a dead walker.)

Sam: Uh, ma’am, I think you got ‘im.

Ali: They’re never dead.

Chris: Ok. Uh, I’m Chris.

Ali: Ali.

Guy: (In pain) Help. Help me. Help me, please.

Grace: We got to do something.

Sam: I can make a run to the church. Grab whatever medical supplies we’ve got. Grace you’re a doctor.

Grace: I’m a nurse kiddo.

Jacob: And you’re not going alone. (Pause) We’re going to have to leave him.

Xavier: What?

Chris: No we can do something.

Jacob: He’s bitten. He’s lost a lot of blood. We’ll have wasted a trip.

Chris: We can’t leave him like this!

Jacob: Fine then we’ll have to shoot him! (The two squabble for a second. Then the whole group begins to squabble. Then a shot is heard. It’s Ali.)

Ali: Standing around isn’t going to do anything. (They all kind of stare at her.)

Xavier: Guys. (Xavier sees walkers in the distance.)

Jacob: Alright time to go. Everyone in. Stay safe miss.

Chris: We aren’t going to leave her.

Jacob: We can and we are.

Chris: We—uh—we just attracted a ton of walkers. She doesn’t stand a chance.

Jacob: They’re slow. She seems able to run.

Grace: Walkers will come from everywhere. Not just down the street.

Xavier: I say we vote.

Jacob: What?

Chris: Good idea, and until we do. We aren’t going anywhere.

Jacob: Ok fine! She can come! Where is she? (They look she’s gone.)

Ali: (In the back of truck) Dumb rednecks. (They all hop in. Jacob cranks the car. Nothing happens.)

Jacob: Oh come on. No! No! Why now!? Everyone out! (Everyone gets out.) Run! (They run. They’re come into viewing distance of the church.)

Ali: Is that where we’re going?

Xavier: Yeah, come on.

Ali: No. I change my mind.

Xavier: What?

Ali: No. (Jacob gets to the church and ushers everyone in.)

Jacob: Come on! Sam back room, now!

Ali: I’ll go somewhere else!

Xavier: There is nowhere else to go!

Ali: Let go of me!

Xavier: No it’s suicide.

Ali: Better than going in there! (They keep struggling.)

Xavier: Help! (Chris comes to help.)

Chris: What’s wrong?

Xavier: She won’t come into the church.

Chris: Come on lady! (She pulls out a knife and cuts Xavier’s hand. She swings and swings.  Chris then abandons her for Xavier, and gets him inside. Ali turns around, sees the walkers ahead, holds out her arms, and says…)

Ali: Kill me God. Take me. (She is hit in the back of the head. It’s Chris.)

Chris: Not today I guess.

Jacob: Chris, hurry. (Chris picks her up and carries her. They shut the doors.)

Grace: Xavier, are you alright?

Xavier: It’s fine. Just a scratch.

Grouch: Who is she? Did you help her and bring this nightmare on us?

Jacob: Don’t start. (To everyone.) Alright people. Get against the walls away from the windows and remain quiet. Xavier help Sam. (Sam opens a door in the sanctuary. Xavier groans from the smell. Dead animals are inside.)

Sam: It never gets old. Well, actually it does. You know, it decays.

Jacob: Sam.

Sam: Coming. (Sam grabs ropes attached to the animals and hangs them on the nails nailed into walls. Xavier follows. He also throws them into at the front door.) We’re good.

Jacob: Alright everyone. Shh. (Time slowly passes. As they sit in fear, they wait for what happens. Soon the walkers begin banging on the doors.)

 

Scene 2: Goodbye to the Good Ole Days

(Walkers continue to bang on doors, and they start to look in the windows. Grace is hiding by Blue Jeans and she covers her mouth. Chris hides between windows. After a few seconds of terror, the walkers seem to have lost interest. Everyone stays quiet for a few more seconds.)

(The scene switches over. everyone is no longer hiding. And they are all sitting around.)

Grouch: So, why did you bring her here?

Chris: We had no choice. She would’ve been torn apart.

Grouch: It could have bought you all time. And we wouldn’t have experienced this little incident.

Chris: Well, we’re alright, aren’t we? The dead animals cloaked our scent. We’re all alive.

Grouch: Yes and now we have one more mouth to feed. Speaking of which where’s the food?

Jacob: Back in the truck and the truck is dead, and most likely surrounded by walkers.

Chris: They aren’t going to eat it. It isn’t meat. (Grace comes in.)

Grace: She’s awake. (Jacob pulls up a chair. Chris and Xavier walk her over and sit her down. She sits in silence for a moment.)

Ali: Why have you tied me up?

Jacob: Because you’re having suicidal tendencies. It’s for your good.

Ali: I’m not suicidal.

Chris: Then can you explain why you attacked my friend?

Ali: Because he wouldn’t let go of me.

Chris: He wouldn’t let go of you because you wanted to be a meal for the walkers. I say my friend saved your life.

Ali: I didn’t want to get eaten by the walkers, you moron. I just didn’t want to come in here. Don’t assume so quickly you heathen.

Grouch: Finally, someone who agrees with me.

Jacob: Why didn’t you want to come in here?

Ali: Because this place is unholy and I am Muslim. (They all react to this.) My name is Alishba. And now I’m filthy in the eyes of god because of you. (Jacob and Chris turn around and whisper to each other.)

Chris: Oh this is so screwed.

Jacob: Maybe it would have been better if we had left her.

Chris: Don’t say that!

Jacob: You’re right. Sorry. We did the right thing.

Ali: Yeah right. You should have left me in that field. It’s better than being forced to survive in this place.

Jacob: We didn’t mean to offend you.

Ali: Well, you have!

Grouch: Preach like these guys can’t. I like her already.

Ali: You’ve taken away my choice.

Jacob: Yeah, but not all choices are good.

Ali: I was talking. Do not interrupt me. Besides even if it was a bad choice, it was mine to make. My right.

Jacob: And it’s our right to look after you.

Grouch: By whom, your god?

Jacob: Not just Him, but by the laws written in this land. We have a right to look after our fellow men.

Ali: Those laws are gone with the government that abandoned you. Speaking of that how would you describe this?

Jacob: Describe what?

Ali: The dead. If your god is so merciful, as you claim, then why is this happening? This is the wrath of god. People return from the dead. They hunt down what’s living, and they never stop. They have endless amounts of energy, and they chew through your flesh and bones. Some of them are actually family members of yours. And when they catch you and they will, do you really think they will let you have a quick and painless death? Can you really be that ignorant? Oh, and I forgot the icing on the cake. Turning even if you’re not bitten. (Everyone reacts.)

Jacob: What are you talking about?

Ali: You all don’t know. Haha. Are you really that aloof? That’s right if you die without a shot to the head, you’ll still come back. That’s how the camps failed. (Jacob sits down.) So, answer my question? (Pause) Answer it!

Jacob: After you answer mine. If this is as bad as you have described then why didn’t you give up sooner and what does your god think?

Ali: That’s two questions. And I’ll answer both. I can’t claim to know what god’s plan is, but I know his will. And if that is for me to die, I accept. But I’m waiting to be with my family. Now answer me…even though I know you don’t have an answer. (Jacob smiles.)

Jacob: Chris (Chris looks at Jacob with a grin on his face.) take it away. (Brief pause.)

Chris: Who are the walking dead? Are they the walkers? The ones that hunt us down and give us slow painful deaths? The ones that stink and rot, and terrify us? They live up to every word that was mentioned on the radio and by you. But we…we are living. We are smarter and faster and stronger. We hold the morals that they do not possess and yet…here we are bickering, complaining, and arguing. We are supposed to protect our fellow man according to natural law, but we destroy one another. Who are the walking dead? I disagree with what you said about this being the wrath of god. Because if I were God I would come up with something a little more creative on how to punish my creation. He could set us on fire and be torn apart walkers. So, no I don’t think this is torture. I think this is teaching. But Chris what would God be trying to teach us? Well as I said before we don’t live up to our expected title. Maybe just maybe God is teaching us that we are as ugly as the walkers. And also because we’re alive I think he’s also teaching us: Keep hope alive and leave fear with the dead. (Ali has a blank stare on her face.) So, Ali, I’ll ask again, and this time it’s up to you to answer: Who are the walking dead?

Jacob: (Jacob cuts Ali free.) You can leave if you want. If you do leave, I hope you can forgive us for splitting your head open. If you want, we can give you some food after we go down to the truck for your journey ahead. (Ali nods her head.) I hope you find your family.

Xavier: (Xavier is on the binoculars looking through the window.) I don’t think she’ll be able to leave quite yet. (Jacob walks over to Xavier. Xavier hands over the binoculars.) Some walkers are hanging by the food.

Jacob: Well, looks like we’ll be sitting tight for a while.

Ali: That’s my food, by the way. (They all look at her.) You got that from that department store didn’t you? That’s where I was storing my food. You monstrous heathens.

Sam: Hey, if you’re going to call my brothers heathens. Call me one too. Cause I took food too.

Grace: We all took half of your food. We had a feeling someone was staying there.

Sam: We were all hungry, and we all voted on it. (Ali stands and thinks. Then walks away.)

(Scene cuts to Grouch in the kitchen. Ali appears.)

Grouch: Well, if it isn’t at this point my favorite Muslim friend. Hm. Hm. Hm.

Ali: Tell me how many Muslim friends do you have?

Grouch: Now, now. I just paid you a compliment. You won’t get that from the brotherhood of Christian rednecks. By the way, I love what you did early. You smoked their pale behinds.

Ali: Hm. What are you working on?

Grouch: Repairing these wires. If I can fix them, then we can have the lights working again. I haven’t told Jacob yet. I should have them up before tonight.

Ali: Hm. You think I won, earlier?

Grouch: Winning is a matter of letting yourself know, you won. No matter what. Even if they have all the evidence in the world, as long as you believe it’s right, it’s right. I agree with what you said.

Ali: About God and his wrath upon us?

Grouch: No. That they’re ignorant and aloof. They think holding onto their belief will keep their innocence, but I know they are anything but innocent.

Ali: You know what I honestly believe. I believe that those who have kept God’s law will be saved from this nightmare. We’ll get bit, we’ll die, but we won’t turn because we have remained loyal to him. And whoever hasn’t shall suffer the consequences.

Grouch: Are you one of those extremists?

Ali: (Offended) No! We’re not all like that! Thank you!

Grouch: Just asking. I’m looking out for my granddaughter.

Ali: They believe in the same thing too. If you don’t keep THEIR God’s law, you’ll suffer the consequences. Hypocrites.

Grouch: Finally someone who understands. (Ali smiles.) It will be great to have you around. Might be able to put some sense into these people now.

Ali: Oh, I’m not staying. I can’t stand this place. I’m leaving once I get the chance.

Grouch: Good for you. I wish I could that. Unfortunately, that doesn’t look like you’re going to get that chance anytime soon. We’ve been sitting here for the last two hours and nothing seems to be inspiring those walkers to move. And once night time comes, there’ll be more of them out there. We could be here for a few days. (Brief pause.) Hey, are you fast?

Ali: Hello. I took all that food from town by myself. I have to be fast.

Grouch: You ever run through a group of walkers?

Ali: Quite often.

Grouch: Impressive. Maybe you could do that here. Maybe you could snatch a backpack when no one’s looking and run right out into those walkers. Along the way, you could grab some food and head back to your department store. Then maybe you’d have a chance of boarding it up before any walkers got there. But the only time you would be able to do that is when no one’s looking which means you would need the cover of night. But if you were fast enough you could probably do it. Agh, but Jacob would say that’s a bad idea.

Ali: I don’t think you care about what Jacob says. (Ali walks off with a grin on her face. Grouch goes back to his business. He is smiling also. On the other side of the wall, Blue Jeans has overheard everything. Black out.)

(The scene cuts to late at night. Walkers are roaming around outside still unaware of the team inside. Inside the team has blankets covering the windows, and they have candles lit. And they are all asleep. Camera focuses on each of their faces noticing how asleep they are, except for Blue Jeans. Scene cuts to the front doors of the church. Someone is opening the front door just a crack, and someone is pushing a pew in front of the girl’s room. Blue Jeans is in the girls’ bathroom washing her face nervously with the rain water bucket. The hall lights are turned on. Blue Jeans notices. Ali is now seen leaving the church and running through the group of walkers. Blue Jeans comes out of the bathroom looking at the lights on the ceiling. She walks over to where Ali is sleeping and she knocks.)

BJ: (Whispers) Ali? Ali? (She opens the door. Ali is gone. She shuts the door and turns around. WALKER! BJ screams. Everyone is awake.)

Jacob: What was that? (He notices the lights are on. The guys get up and grab weapons.) Why are the lights on?! (They open their doors and walkers start pouring in.)

Chris: Whoa! (They kill that small group of walkers. BJ screams.)

Sam: Brittney!

Chris: Go around to the other door, pal.

Jacob: No wait!

Chris: I’ll cover him! (Sam and Chris run to the other door. Grace however is up and opens her door and she is barricaded in because of the pew. Walkers spot her and begin reaching over. Grace backs away screaming. Scene cuts back to Sam and Chris at the other door.)

Chris: Go! (Sam opens the door. Chris walks out. He looks right then left. Sam follows. He sees BJ on the ground who is still screaming and the walker has almost bitten her. Sam shoots it. Scene cuts back to Grace who is crawling on the ground, watching a walker crawl under the pew toward her.)Grace! (Jacob comes out with Xavier he shoots the walkers to his right. Grace grabs the ax she kept in her room and gets it in the head. She comes out of the room through the other door.) Come on! (Jacob shoots at the walkers coming in from the door in the hallway.)

Jacob: Why is that door open?! (He shoots the next walker coming in.) Grace, get Grouch! Xavier, get Ali! Sam grab our stuff! (Xavier runs to the door of Ali’s room and pokes his head in. Sam runs back into the guy’s room. Grace goes into Grouch’s room.)

Grace: Grouch, come on. It’s time to go. (Jacob reaches the door and tries to shut the door but it’s dead bolted.)

Jacob:  Everyone into the sanctuary! (Sam runs back out with bags of their stuff. Grace brings Grouch. Chris runs to the sanctuary door and opens it. Walkers are in the sanctuary too. Chris shuts the door.)

Chris: Yeah, I don’t think so.

Jacob: They’re in there too?!

Grace: Lock it!

Chris: There is no lock! (Walkers start bounding on the door.)

Jacob: Everyone into the kitchen! (Everyone does so.) What’s going on?! Why is this happening?! Did anyone leave the door open?! (Blue Jeans is seen in the arms of Grouch. Grouch doesn’t know she overheard, but BJ is still terrified.) Where’s Ali?!

Xavier: She’s not here!

Grace: She’s left us. She left us and left the doors open.

Jacob: That woman! I’m gonna find her!

Chris: Jacob not now! We need to get to a safe place!

Xavier: What about the truck?

Chris: Probably still surrounded with walkers.

Grace: Can we make it to the department store? We can catch Ali and get to a safe place?

Grouch: No. Not with my ailment. You’d need the truck to move as fast as possible.

Chris: Carrying you might make us go faster. (Jacob hears that.)

Jacob: Ok. Yes. Let’s do that. (Chris and Xavier grab Grouch and lift him up.) Everyone out this door! If we can’t make it to the department store, we’ll hideout in the woods tonight. Just follow my lead. (They bust out the door and run. Sam takes Chris’s machete and kills some walkers. They head into woods then runs toward the street.) Whoo! Oh I hate running!

Chris: This is why you shouldn’t smoke, bro.       

Jacob: You’ve been waiting to tell me that.

Chris: Yes I have. (As they are crossing the street. Jacob notices Ali stealing food from the truck and escaping the walkers. Jacob aims his rifle.) Ali!

Chris: Jacob! Shh! Not now brother. We’ll get her another time. (Jacob lowers his weapon. And takes a deep breath, and looks back at the church.)

Grouch: Say goodbye to the good ole days, boys. While you’ve still got the chance. (They keep running. The scene fades and day is here. Everyone sits around exhausted, and disappointed. Jacob plays around with his knife.)

Chris: Look I know we’ve lost the church, but we can take it back. Cleanout all the walkers. Have our stable home back.

Jacob: Ali knows how to beat us now. She knows our tricks. Maybe she’ll get wise and ask others to help her.

Chris: Then we need to go after her. That doesn’t mean we can’t go back and get our water, and the rest of our stuff.

Jacob: Alright. We get water, food, and supplies. Then we go get Ali. Then we find a new place.  It was just alright for the three of us, Chris, but it’s not just the three of us anymore.

Chris: Right. Let’s go then.

Jacob: They’re tired. Give them a minute.

Chris: Ok. (Sam is sweaty and is breathing hard.)

BJ: You alright?

Sam: I’m a little winded is all. You alright?

BJ: I thought I was going to die. Do you think I’m alright? (She starts to cry. Sam hugs her.)

Sam: I’m sorry. I’m sorry.

Xavier: (To Grace) Do you think it was a right thing? Bringing Ali? We just lost our home.

Grace: I-

Chris: Of course it was.

Xavier: Can you really be optimistic after all that?

Grouch: That’s being realistic.

Jacob: Of course. He can keep it up. We need it.

Grouch: Oh that whole, “Keep hope alive, Leave fear with the dead,” thing again. Even after what Ali did tonight.

Jacob: I say it just proves the- Who-are-the-walking-dead-question. (Grouch crinkles his face.) Alright we’re going back to the church to get some water, food, and supplies. Stay on your guard.

(The scene cuts to the water supply, and it’s been drained.)

Chris: She’s smart.

Xavier: There’s no water left. (Jacob walks over and kicks the church wall.)

Chris: We still have water bottles inside. She could’ve taken all of those. She needed to have room to carry more supplies. (Sam groans and falls over.)

BJ: Sam! (She gets on her knees. Jacob and Chris turn around. They go to his aid.) Sam! Sam! Are you alright?

Sam: (Kind of disoriented.) Of course not. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have fallen over. (Grace looks him over. Checks his head.)

Grace: You’re burning up! (She sees blood at the right ankle.) Hon, you’re bleeding. (She rolls up his pants leg.) Oh no. (He’s been bitten.)

Jacob: No! No! No! What happened?

Grouch: Where’s your god, now?

Chris: (In tears) Where’s yours?!

Jacob: Buddy. Pal. What happened?

Sam: Oh-when I went back for the supplies. I guess one walker wasn’t put down. I stepped over him and he got me. I kicked him off, but it was too late.

Chris: No it’s not too late.

Sam: I didn’t want to tell you guys. I wanted to be as much help as I could. But now-agh-now I feel awful. My bones feel like shattered glass. You need to put me down.

Jacob: What?

Sam: I can feel it comin’. I’m losing my grip here. I can’t help you guys anymore.

Jacob: No. No. I’m not putting you down.

Sam: You gotta.

Jacob: No. no. I can’t.

Chris: Just hangout for a little while.

Sam: Alright, but once I’m gone…you’ve got to shoot me in the head. If you don’t, you’ll see what I really am, and I won’t be any more help to you. (Pause) Please do it. (Chris and Jacob nod.)

Chris: Any last requests.

Sam: Take care of them. (BJ is crying beside Grace. Xavier wipes a tear. Even Grouch seems touched.) And can you sing one more song.

Chris: Which one would you like?

Sam: I’ve always liked the song “Raise Up.” Rob liked to play that one.

Chris: Alright. (Jacob and Chris sing the first verse of “Raise Up.” By the time they’re done, Sam is dead. Jacob gets to his feet and removes his handgun tucked in his pants behind him. He aims… and lowers his gun. He aims again… and lowers his gun. He drops to his knees again. Chris takes the gun from him. He stands straight, points his gun and says…) Love you, brother. (Fires. A few seconds pass. Silence. Then walkers appear from the forest. The team sees them coming. Jacob is still on the ground. Xavier pulls out his gun. Chris continues to hold his hand. He looks at it. Then he tightens his grip. He looks at the walker without any fear in his eyes.)

End.

 

Credits

(While the credits role, the main theme from “The Walking Dead” plays. Once the song ends, credits should still be playing. Then voices are heard while the credits play:

Chris’s Voice: Next time on, “Who are the Walking Dead?”

Jacob: I’m gonna find Ali! And when I do, I’ll kill her!

Chris: This rage of yours is going to get us all killed.

Grace: Is it wrong not to love someone because you know you’re going to lose ‘em?

BJ: I’ve lost my mom, my dad, and now my friend. Do you think God will forgive me if I made one sin to gain peace?

Grouch: You had better keep it yourself! You understand me, young lady!

Xavier: Can He really just be trying to make us stronger?

Ali: You should stop assuming. Cause you’re about slaughter an innocent woman.)
