00:48:18,766 --> 00:48:20,246
this is enemy number one.

929
00:48:20,376 --> 00:48:22,074
Whisperers.

930
00:48:22,204 --> 00:48:25,817
[Walkers growling]

931
00:48:25,947 --> 00:48:27,471
He doesn't trust them.

932
00:48:27,601 --> 00:48:31,605
He has a sense that this guy
is being cagey and shady,

933
00:48:31,735 --> 00:48:33,085
which he is.

934
00:48:33,215 --> 00:48:35,347
He's right that
the guy is lying to him.

935
00:48:35,478 --> 00:48:37,045
And so he thinks like,

936
00:48:37,175 --> 00:48:39,135
why wouldn't he be lying
about everything else?

937
00:48:39,264 --> 00:48:40,981
Like, everything we know
about the Whisperers

938
00:48:41,005 --> 00:48:43,313
is that the vast majority
of them

939
00:48:43,443 --> 00:48:45,967
are willing to do
whatever Alpha said,

940
00:48:46,097 --> 00:48:47,882
and they lived under that
for years.

941
00:48:48,012 --> 00:48:51,668
So I think that he's kind of
in that dark headspace.

942
00:48:51,798 --> 00:48:53,539
When Jerry discovers
that they were

943
00:48:53,670 --> 00:48:56,369
definitely at Alexandria
and probably helped trash it

944
00:48:56,500 --> 00:48:57,849
that tells him something,

945
00:48:57,980 --> 00:49:00,634
and he's getting very emotional.

946
00:49:00,764 --> 00:49:02,853
We felt that Carol
was the right person

947
00:49:02,985 --> 00:49:04,507
to pull him back from the brink,

948
00:49:04,637 --> 00:49:07,989
because I think the journey
that we've shown Carol on

949
00:49:08,119 --> 00:49:11,253
is that she felt like
she went a little too far

950
00:49:11,384 --> 00:49:13,864
in her revenge mission
against Alpha.

951
00:49:13,996 --> 00:49:15,998
She is not insensitive

952
00:49:16,128 --> 00:49:18,391
to the fact that there's
been fallout from that.

953
00:49:18,521 --> 00:49:20,088
There is true suffering.

954
00:49:20,219 --> 00:49:25,224
So she sees Aaron going into
that same kind of dark headspace

955
00:49:25,355 --> 00:49:26,833
that she was in.

956
00:49:26,965 --> 00:49:30,969
And right or wrong,
whatever he feels,

957
00:49:31,099 --> 00:49:32,840
whatever he thinks
needs to be done,

958
00:49:32,971 --> 00:49:35,364
what she sees
is this guy who's there

959
00:49:35,494 --> 00:49:37,280
that he's torturing.

960
00:49:37,409 --> 00:49:40,413
And that could be the start
of a much more slippery slope.

961
00:49:40,543 --> 00:49:42,023
And I think
she just doesn't want

962
00:49:42,153 --> 00:49:44,416
to see that happen to Aaron.

963
00:49:44,547 --> 00:49:47,507
♪

964
00:49:47,637 --> 00:49:50,293
This is a path
you don't want to go down.

965
00:49:50,422 --> 00:49:52,121
Now, you let him go.

966
00:49:52,251 --> 00:49:53,905
They just get to try
to hash it out.

967
00:49:54,036 --> 00:49:56,255
And in some ways,
the universe rewards them

968
00:49:56,385 --> 00:49:57,603
for that decision,

969
00:49:57,735 --> 00:49:58,894
because if that guy had died,

970
00:49:58,952 --> 00:50:00,432
they would have never
gotten that clue

971
00:50:00,563 --> 00:50:01,913
that Connie is out there.

972
00:50:02,043 --> 00:50:03,784
We saw one of your people,

973
00:50:03,914 --> 00:50:07,831
the girl came out of the cave
where Alpha kept the horde.

974
00:50:07,961 --> 00:50:09,007
What do you think?

975
00:50:09,137 --> 00:50:10,498
Thinking it's probably
a good thing

976
00:50:10,617 --> 00:50:12,532
you didn't kill him.

977
00:50:12,663 --> 00:50:15,056
Kang: What's really interesting
about the Commonwealth

978
00:50:15,186 --> 00:50:17,407
is that they have attempted

979
00:50:17,536 --> 00:50:20,670
to put the world
back the way it was before,

980
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:23,195
or at least based on a memory
of what it was before.

981
00:50:23,326 --> 00:50:25,719
But, you know, I think
the complicated thing is,

982
00:50:25,849 --> 00:50:27,981
was there ever really
a perfect time?

983
00:50:28,112 --> 00:50:30,942
And do you want to replicate
something that might have been

984
00:50:31,072 --> 00:50:33,465
a little bit broken
to begin with?

985
00:50:33,597 --> 00:50:36,947
In some ways, the Commonwealth
works exceptionally well

986
00:50:37,079 --> 00:50:38,518
and people have been
very, very safe.

987
00:50:38,557 --> 00:50:42,039
But to do that, they really,
like, have kind of embraced

988
00:50:42,170 --> 00:50:44,608
this caste system
that they all live under

989
00:50:44,737 --> 00:50:46,827
and this sort of
the authoritarian bend

990
00:50:46,958 --> 00:50:49,351
to some of the ways
that the community works.

991
00:50:49,481 --> 00:50:52,528
So given that this really
is an American story,

992
00:50:52,659 --> 00:50:56,315
we wanted to draw upon kind of
American source material

993
00:50:56,445 --> 00:50:58,360
for what the propaganda
would look like.

994
00:50:58,490 --> 00:51:00,057
The writing department,

995
00:51:00,188 --> 00:51:03,670
we basically furnished
a bunch of these slogans

996
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,456
just to kind of give a feel
for the types of things

997
00:51:06,585 --> 00:51:09,153
that the Commonwealth might
be asking people to do

998
00:51:09,284 --> 00:51:11,722
to try to make this
a nice place to live.

999
00:51:11,851 --> 00:51:12,940
Hey!

1000
00:51:13,070 --> 00:51:15,552
Fancy meeting you here, Mercer.

1001
00:51:15,681 --> 00:51:17,815
Ooh! Well, they clearly
got a gym in this joint.

1002
00:51:17,945 --> 00:51:20,818
Your chiseling is perfecto.

1003
00:51:20,947 --> 00:51:22,775
We really love writing
for Princess,

1004
00:51:22,907 --> 00:51:24,516
as well as our new character,
Mercer.

1005
00:51:24,648 --> 00:51:26,170
There's such depths there

1006
00:51:26,302 --> 00:51:29,478
that we just kind of
get to unpeel slowly.

1007
00:51:29,608 --> 00:51:32,177
And for Princess,
we had this moment

1008
00:51:32,307 --> 00:51:33,786
where they're being questioned

1009
00:51:33,918 --> 00:51:37,007
and they they question her
about this $2 bill,

1010
00:51:37,139 --> 00:51:39,097
and she starts
to tell this story.

1011
00:51:39,228 --> 00:51:41,403
Essentially, like, it means
something personal to her.

1012
00:51:41,534 --> 00:51:43,492
And at one point
in the interview,

1013
00:51:43,623 --> 00:51:45,320
she turns to Mercer
and, like, looks

1014
00:51:45,451 --> 00:51:46,688
at him standing there and says..

1015
00:51:46,713 --> 00:51:48,498
When we're done
with these questions,

1016
00:51:48,628 --> 00:51:49,847
can I get my $2 back?

1017
00:51:49,976 --> 00:51:51,456
When she gets it back,

1018
00:51:51,588 --> 00:51:53,938
she just knows in her gut
that it was him,

1019
00:51:54,068 --> 00:51:56,592
because they saw that
bin of money that was

1020
00:51:56,722 --> 00:51:59,204
all marked for confiscation
on the way out.

1021
00:51:59,335 --> 00:52:01,032
They know that that has to be,

1022
00:52:01,163 --> 00:52:02,860
like, the way that
they deal with money.

1023
00:52:02,989 --> 00:52:07,690
So she's thinking, like, maybe
he's not as scary of a guy

1024
00:52:07,820 --> 00:52:11,608
as he seems when he's just,
you know, doing his job.

1025
00:52:11,737 --> 00:52:13,000
And I think from Mercer's side,

1026
00:52:13,130 --> 00:52:14,914
he sees something about her,

1027
00:52:15,045 --> 00:52:17,353
that there's a sweetness there.

1028
00:52:17,483 --> 00:52:21,574
And he sees that she sees him
in some ways.

1029
00:52:21,704 --> 00:52:23,967
And I think that she sees

1030
00:52:24,097 --> 00:52:26,099
that he sees something more
in her.

1031
00:52:26,231 --> 00:52:29,146
And so in that moment
with the $2 bill, like,

1032
00:52:29,277 --> 00:52:32,063
we wanted this chance to just

1033
00:52:32,193 --> 00:52:35,371
start to break the ice more
between them.

1034
00:52:35,501 --> 00:52:37,068
You have...

1035
00:52:37,199 --> 00:52:38,809
really...

1036
00:52:38,938 --> 00:52:41,333
beautiful eyelashes.

1037
00:52:41,463 --> 00:52:43,987
So Maggie and Negan...

1038
00:52:44,117 --> 00:52:46,556
they're the last two standing
of this group.

1039
00:52:46,686 --> 00:52:49,472
So, they're just in this
really uncomfortable position

1040
00:52:49,601 --> 00:52:52,822
where neither trusts
the other person,

1041
00:52:52,952 --> 00:52:54,650
neither really even
likes the other person,

1042
00:52:54,780 --> 00:52:56,521
although I would say that Negan

1043
00:52:56,652 --> 00:52:59,090
has this kind of a respect
for Maggie.

1044
00:52:59,221 --> 00:53:01,353
He doesn't trust her,

1045
00:53:01,483 --> 00:53:02,833
but he does, like, respect

1046
00:53:02,963 --> 00:53:04,443
the type of a leader
that she is.

1047
00:53:04,574 --> 00:53:08,230
But at the same time,
Maggie just very grudgingly

1048
00:53:08,360 --> 00:53:10,014
accepts that she needs him,

1049
00:53:10,143 --> 00:53:11,885
but it's always uneasy
between them.

1050
00:53:12,016 --> 00:53:13,757
They can't even decide
on whether to stay

1051
00:53:13,887 --> 00:53:15,759
or go from this house.

1052
00:53:15,889 --> 00:53:17,456
It works out
the way Maggie wants,

1053
00:53:17,586 --> 00:53:19,067
but it doesn't mean that
Negan's wrong

1054
00:53:19,197 --> 00:53:21,329
about everything
he's saying to her either.

1055
00:53:21,460 --> 00:53:23,940
Maggie: Oh, my God.
You made it.

1056
00:53:24,070 --> 00:53:26,465
Our people...
they're such a family,

1057
00:53:26,596 --> 00:53:28,293
and so there are moments

1058
00:53:28,423 --> 00:53:33,472
when they decide strategically,
we have to keep moving.

1059
00:53:33,603 --> 00:53:36,039
But those are not decisions
that are made lightly.

1060
00:53:36,170 --> 00:53:38,695
And I think in this case,
Gabriel feels like,

1061
00:53:38,824 --> 00:53:41,001
well, we've gotten
to the safe house.

1062
00:53:41,132 --> 00:53:43,177
We've only just
barely gotten here.

1063
00:53:43,307 --> 00:53:45,309
Of course we wait,
because that was the plan.

1064
00:53:45,440 --> 00:53:46,920
And so if that was not the plan,

1065
00:53:47,050 --> 00:53:49,661
he probably also would have been
like, we have to move on.

1066
00:53:49,793 --> 00:53:52,577
But Negan is very pragmatic
in his own way,

1067
00:53:52,708 --> 00:53:54,231
but he's also kind of selfish.

1068
00:53:54,362 --> 00:53:56,407
And I think that
that's kind of the fun of Negan.

1069
00:53:56,539 --> 00:53:58,367
There's a lot of times
where Negan,

1070
00:53:58,496 --> 00:54:00,416
if you're really talking
about self-preservation,

1071
00:54:00,456 --> 00:54:02,545
his point of view makes
a lot of sense, you know,

1072
00:54:02,675 --> 00:54:05,635
and it's not like
entirelyselfish.

1073
00:54:05,764 --> 00:54:07,114
Like, he is saying,

1074
00:54:07,244 --> 00:54:09,159
let's be really, really,
like, practical

1075
00:54:09,291 --> 00:54:12,250
about what we can
realistically get done.

1076
00:54:12,380 --> 00:54:14,164
Is this just a suicide mission
we're on?

1077
00:54:14,295 --> 00:54:16,253
He has no desire to die.

1078
00:54:16,385 --> 00:54:20,302
♪

1079
00:54:20,431 --> 00:54:23,086
I think with Judith,
we really wanted to deal

1080
00:54:23,217 --> 00:54:25,132
with the fact
that she's growing up,

1081
00:54:25,262 --> 00:54:27,351
and she's growing up
with both of her parents

1082
00:54:27,483 --> 00:54:28,831
just out in the wind,

1083
00:54:28,961 --> 00:54:33,836
and she's in this really
odd position of, at times,

1084
00:54:33,967 --> 00:54:36,666
having to be more grown up
than she really should be.

1085
00:54:36,795 --> 00:54:39,190
She's had to be a fighter
from the beginning,

1086
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,498
and that's been important
to survive.

1087
00:54:42,628 --> 00:54:45,021
But at the same time,
there's just ways in which

1088
00:54:45,152 --> 00:54:46,632
she's still very much a child,

1089
00:54:46,762 --> 00:54:49,766
and if a bully is saying
terrible things to her...

1090
00:54:49,896 --> 00:54:51,027
You talk too much.

1091
00:54:51,157 --> 00:54:53,159
No wonder your mom
abandoned you.

1092
00:54:53,291 --> 00:54:55,032
...she's a little lost
and just reacts

1093
00:54:55,161 --> 00:54:56,902
in the way that she knows how,

1094
00:54:57,034 --> 00:55:00,385
and I think that she's also
pulled back from that, though,

1095
00:55:00,516 --> 00:55:02,778
realizing, like,
"I think I might have reacted

1096
00:55:02,909 --> 00:55:05,911
a little too strongly,"
but she's so upset.

1097
00:55:06,043 --> 00:55:10,134
And so how do kids deal
with things that are just beyond

1098
00:55:10,264 --> 00:55:12,440
what they should really
have to grapple with?

1099
00:55:12,570 --> 00:55:16,226
And how does that take
an apocalyptic flavor.

1100
00:55:16,358 --> 00:55:17,489
In this episode,

1101
00:55:17,619 --> 00:55:20,056
which was directed
by Gregory Nicotero,

1102
00:55:20,186 --> 00:55:23,016
I do think he might have
purposely kind of used

1103
00:55:23,146 --> 00:55:25,844
some of that feel
from the earlier season

1104
00:55:25,976 --> 00:55:28,760
where Rick and Carl
were kind of talking about

1105
00:55:28,891 --> 00:55:32,373
what it's like to lose people
and just no more kid stuff.

1106
00:55:32,503 --> 00:55:34,679
Rosita is there with Judith,

1107
00:55:34,811 --> 00:55:36,856
and I think we wanted
to tell a story

1108
00:55:36,987 --> 00:55:38,510
that it has taken the village

1109
00:55:38,641 --> 00:55:41,512
to raise all the children
of the apocalypse.

1110
00:55:41,643 --> 00:55:46,474
Rosita is one of Judith's
many, many aunts

1111
00:55:46,605 --> 00:55:49,826
that just adores her
and would do anything for her.

1112
00:55:49,956 --> 00:55:52,523
And I think that it's important
for Judith to feel that.

1113
00:55:52,655 --> 00:55:54,831
And I think, you know,
Christian did a great job

1114
00:55:54,960 --> 00:55:57,702
kind of, like, telling this
story that is comforting,

1115
00:55:57,833 --> 00:55:59,965
but at the same time,
like, it's just kind of

1116
00:56:00,097 --> 00:56:02,882
like I'm gonna tell you that
it's going to keep on hurting.

1117
00:56:03,012 --> 00:56:06,190
She's very real about the nature
of grief with this child.

1118
00:56:06,320 --> 00:56:07,760
And it still makes
Judith feel better

1119
00:56:07,887 --> 00:56:10,454
because it's like
she'd rather know the truth.

1120
00:56:10,585 --> 00:56:12,936
Pieces of wood are nice...

1121
00:56:15,547 --> 00:56:17,114
...but you don't need
that to remember

1122
00:56:17,244 --> 00:56:18,637
how much they loved you.
