#FTWD #FearTheWalkingDead starts with boys singing in a church choir. The priest stands and addresses the small crowd. He says they are living in difficult times that are testing them and their beliefs. He asks where is God and if he abandoned them.
He asks what kind of God would test us like this. He says the God he believes in and knows would not do such a thing and says this is not God but evil from Satan that wants to destroy their faith. The priest offers communion and they all come forward.
He says do not feed this evil or give into it. He says we will fight the evil. The people take up weapons outside. A truck pulls up honking its horn and Tom Abigail says stop this before others get hurt. He says you will be dead before you reach the gate.
A woman begins to bleed from the eyes then another person and another. People are dying horribly and the priest tells Tom this is Celia and she’s the evil he protects. Tom goes to the priest as he dies. On the boat, Travis asks Chris what happened.
Travis says they told him he shot a guy that was not sick. Chris asks who said that. Travis says Madison is worried about him. Travis hugs him. Madison asks Strand how this will go and Strand says Luis will take the money to meet Miguel.
Luis leaves and Madison asks Strand how you say asshole in Spanish. They see harbor patrol coming and Luis looks and says one is Miguel and the other he doesn’t know. Strand tells Madison to hide the others. She gathers them and says we have to hide.
They do. They listen and Daniel translates for them. He says one man asks how much the boat costs. Then he says the man asks for gold – one bar per head. The other man says he wants to check to make sure there are no infected on board.
He says it’s a big boat for two people. They hear arguing and Madison tells Daniel to wait. Gunfire breaks out above and shouts. They hear footsteps. The boat starts moving and they come upstairs. They see Luis is dead and hear voices on a loudspeaker then the glass shatters.
Daniel says stay inside and he and Strand head out. Daniel puts a knife through the dead guys’ head to make sure they can’t come back and then Luis begs him to stop. Ofelia runs over to help and sees he has a coin in his hand. He begs her to give it to his mother.
Luis begs her and Ofelia tells her father to let him be. Daniel looks at the coin and then tosses it overboard. Nick listens to Luis’ dying whispers where he says mi madre (my mother). Madison asks Strand why they stopped shooting and he says they think whatever is on land will kill us.
The gang is off the boat and on land and Alicia asks Strand how much further. He says they’re close. A dog eats on some dead bodies as they near. Strand looks around and runs shouting Thomas. He sees his truck and shouts his name.
Madison calls to him as Strand runs into the church. Nick hears the sounds of infected as many come up the hill. Others are behind them. They go to work. Choir kids are coming along as well. Strand runs out to help. Everyone is in on the action.
A little girl comes up on Nick who bashes her head. Daniel struggles with a kid and has a memory as he holds it off. Ofelia kills it for him. She snaps her dad back to reality. Madison falls to one and Chris hesitates to help her. Alicia runs over and kills it.
Strand tells them they have to go. Nick sits among the infected looking at the little girl he killed. Strand loads them all into the truck and they drive away. They drive out into farmland and Madison is stunned by the serene scenery.
They pull up at the gates and they open slowly. They drive inside and see people working and a large hacienda inside. They unload at the house and Strand leads them up the steps. Celia comes out to welcome them and she asks about Luis.
He says the military killed him when they fought to get there. He says he’s one of them now. Celia says he’ll find his way back. Celia and Strand walk away and a maid says they have to hand over their weapons then they can take a tour of the house. They all unload their weapons. Daniel asks why.
The woman says there’s no need for weapons here. He says there is always a need. The woman says you can have them outside and he hands them over when Celia insists. The woman thanks him. Celia asks Jorge how Tom is and he says quiet.
Tom tells Strand better late than ever. He has a bite mark on his arm that’s been bandaged. Strand says sorry and Tom says it’s okay. Tom says he waited for him. He asks Celia to give them a minute and she leaves. Strand says if he got here in time, he could have done something.
Tom says you’re here now but he’s coughing and looks bad. Strand wipes away tears and offers to help him to bed. Tom nods and Strand lifts him. They embrace for a moment and Strand says he has him and helps him to bed.
Alicia watches an old movie on TV when Chris comes in. She says she doesn’t know what it is and it’s just on tape. She hands him the report. He asks if she’s mad at him. Alicia says she saw what he did and he asks what she means.
Alicia says she knows what she saw and says he was watching and was going to let her mom get killed. He says he would not do that and asks why would he. She says she can’t pretend like it didn’t happen. He begs her not to tell anyone.
He says she’s like his mom too and says he froze, that’s all. He argues with her and then grabs her. He says she can’t say anything. She asks what if I do and he says he doesn’t want to hurt anyone. Nick comes and finds Celia and introduces himself.
She says it’s a beautiful name for a beautiful boy then offers him food. She says she’ll give him a snack if he won’t tell the others. Celia fixes him a bowl of soup and he thanks her. She asks how it is and he says amazing. He says Luis was asking for her when he passed.
He says he wanted him to tell her that and Celia thanks him. She says he has a heavy smile and asks why. Nick looks sad and says he’s a bit sick of it. Celia asks of what and he says of all the killing. Celia nods and smiles at him. He says what.
Celia says none of this is new and says they’re just visitors. She says our dead have always walked among us but now we can see them. Madison is there and says it’s a big difference. Madison yells at Nick to go shower and he slurps the soup then goes when his mom says he stinks.
Celia says Nick is special and Madison says he’s fragile and impressionable. Celia says he’s enlightened. Daniel is outside and sees the owl carved in a tree – it’s like the one on the coin Luis had that Daniel threw in the ocean.
Celia approaches and sees him looking at it and asks if he’s praying. He says no. She asks if she can and he says of course. Celia puts a photo of Luis near the tree and he says sorry for your loss. She says why – he wasn’t shot in the head was he. Then she says nothing to be sorry for then.
Celia lights a candle at the shrine for her son. Madison brings a tray of food to Strand and Tom. Strand thanks her for the thought and she introduces herself to Tom. He apologizes for not being out of bed and says he’s usually a better host.
Madison says she’s usually a better guest and Strand laughs and says that’s not true and she knows it. Tom asks her to look after Strand when he’s gone. Strand says don’t be so maudlin. Madison says he won’t make it easy and Tom says that’s why he’s asking her.
Ofelia goes looking for her dad. He says he’s not hungry when she asks him to come to dinner. She says Celia is an amazing cook and he says her mother was. Ofelia asks if everything is okay. He asks if she’s hungry then says her infection must be gone.
He says tell them I’m tired and don’t to eat. Alicia is on the sofa watching TV when Madison comes in and asks if she wants to sleep. Alicia says it’s pathetic how much I miss TV. Madison says she always tried to stay up late watching TV.
Alicia says she was afraid she wouldn’t come back. Madison comes to Travis then asks what he and Chris talked about. Madison says Chris threatened to hurt Alicia because she saw him standing there and almost let her die. Madison says he’s sick and needs help.
Travis says he was there for her when Nick needed help, needed rehab or needed to be found. He says he believed Nick could get better. Madison says this is not about Nick. Travis says what if something is wrong with Chris then says help me.
She says he threatened my daughter and he says our daughter. He asks where are you when I need you. He says she always talks about her needing him then asks where she is now that he needs her. He says he’s going to Chris and she can be with Alicia and walks out.
Tom is hot and asks Strand to pull off the sheet. He does. Strand says just go to sleep and rest but Tom says he doesn’t want to leave him. Strand says he can go with him. He says he can die with him of the virus and Celia can watch over both of them. Strand kisses him.
Daniel sees someone shoving a dog into a chute into a building and then the dog howls. Nick and Ofelia walk to the shrine and she says she needs to talk to his mother. Ofelia kneels to pray. She asks when was the last time he was in a church. (It was when he saw his first infected).
Nick says do your thing and Ofelia prays to her mother to watch over her dad. She says she can’t stay mad at him and he seems so frail. Nick stares at the owl carved in the tree and thinks back to running from the church and being struck by the car.
Ofelia promises to come back tomorrow. She thanks Nick for coming out there with her. Daniel skulks around checking things out and hears Juan talking. He hears a kid saying he juggled and is getting better. Juan is talking through a door.
Juan tells Daniel that his mother is in there and he asks to meet her. Juan says you can see through the gate. He opens the door and Daniel goes inside. He sees they have a whole pen of infected there snarling. Daniel goes back into the house and tells Celia he went to the cellar.
He asks if she put them there. She says they are family of the people who have worked here for years. She says she had to shelter them because they were being hunted out there like monsters. Daniel asks about the parishioners and then says she poisoned them – killed them all.
He sniffs the communion wafers she had laid out. She asks why he fears death and she takes the tray and tells him he needs to make peace with his death and calls him old man then asks what is he so afraid of.
Celia sings and sponges cool water onto Tom while Strand sits nearby watching. She calls him her heart and kisses his forehead. Strand says that’s lovely. Celia says Tom was afraid of the dark as a boy and she had to sing that song to comfort him.
Strand says Tom is a creature of habit. Celia tells Strand she never thought he was good enough for Tom and he says he knows. She says this is a brave and beautiful thing he decides to do and she’s proud and says she was wrong about him.
Strand asks how long will it take and she says not long. She kisses his forehead too and says sleep my boy. She leaves the two communion wafers to them. Nick comes to find Celia and she says his mother worries. He says he gave her reason to worry.
Nick sits and she asks what he wants to know. Nick says they’re not really dead, are they. Celia shakes her head and says they are not. He asks what are they. Celia says they are what comes next. Strand lies with Tom holding him and he’s barely breathing.
Tom stops breathing and Strand kisses his cheek. Strand goes, with tears in his eyes, and walks past the communion wafer. Chris gets out of bed while Travis lies sleeping. Strand locks the door. He looks at the wafers. Chris goes into the room where Alicia and Madison are sleeping.
Chris says, Alicia. He grabs the knife from the table and they hear a gunshot. That wakes them and they see him with the knife. Alicia screams get out and he goes. Strand shot Tom in the head instead of killing himself with the poisoned wafer.
THE END!
