Once we entered the lodge, we see Luke hiding around a corner to the left of us.

Luke: Y/N. Clementine. Don't freak out.

He signals us over.

Luke: Listen, okay. I gotta tell y'all something.

Y/N: What's up?

Luke: That guy on the bridge was Walter's friend.

He shows us a photo of the two.

Y/N: Oh, god.

Luke: They're all worried he ain't back yet.

Clementine: I knew it was. For sure.

Y/N: Now that I think about it. The pieces do line up.

Luke: Dammit, Nick... I don't think Walter knows yet. So we have to keep quiet.

Y/N: And what do we do if he finds out? He will eventually.

Luke: Then we're totally fucking fucked, but we'll deal with it then. Y/N, do you have the knife? 'Cause I'm thinking it was Matthew's.

Y/N: I gave it to Clem.

Clementine: And it's with the other weapons.

Luke: Well, go get rid of it. I'll find Walter and distract him. Oh... and watch Nick.

Nick: I'm right here, what's up?

Y/N: It's nothing to worry about.

Nick: Hey, if there's something going on. I want to know.

Clementine: It's nothing. Forget it.

Luke: Look, just go do that thing, okay? C'mon Nick, let's go get some beers.

We then went to the front where we stored our weapons. Clementine's backpack was opened and the knife was gone. We then noticed that Walter was outside holding it.

Y/N: Uh, oh.

Clementine: Shut up.

We confronted him outside.

Clementine: Walter, put the knife down.

Walter: I always loved this knife.

He pulls it out of the holster.

Walter: Gave it to Matthew when all this started. I know he's dead. Who did it? Was it that kid? Nick?

Clementine: It was us. Nick shot him.

Y/N: He didn't mean to though! He thought he was robbing us or something.

Walter: Jesus. I... I don't feel good.

Walter: Is... is he a good man? Or is he just like everyone else?

Clementine: He is. He's a good guy, Walter. He saved my life about a week ago.

Nick then walked outside.

Walter: He was always out alone. I told him something like this would happen. But no, Matthew always knew best.

Nick whispers to me.

Nick: What's going on?

Y/N: You need to tell him what you did on the bridge.

Walter turns around and sees Nick.

Walter: Tell me what you did. Just tell me what happened.

Nick: It was from a distance... I... I thought he was robbing my friends... And I... I shot him... But it happened so fast! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Walter!
