the woods An unidentified person carries a dead roe dear through the forest, holding it by its legs. In the courtyard of the prison The walkers in the courtyard are attracted by the smell of the animal. Someone throws rocks at them to get their attention. They turn around, and see the roe dear lying on the floor of the courtyard. They begin to eat it. The dear is cut in half. The other half is hanging in the prison corridor, of which the door is opened. The same unidentified person comes out through another door of the prison, and opens the door leading to the courtyard with an ax. He then puts the dear's heart on the floor next to the open door, to attract more walkers towards the prison.

In the prison's yard Rick, Carol, Daryl and T-Dog are getting the cars inside the yard. Carol is inside one of them and is driving in. Rick: Alright, let's get the other cars in. We'll park 'em in the west entry of the yard.

Daryl: Good. Our vehicles camped out there look like a giant "vacancy" sign! Rick: After that, we need to load up these corpses so we can burn them. T-Dog: It's gonna be a long day... Carol: Where's Glenn and Maggie? We could use some help. Daryl: Up in the guard tower. Rick: Guard tower? They were just up there last night! They all look at the top of the guard tower. Daryl: Glenn! Maggie! Glenn comes out of the tower, he has no shirt on and is buttoning his pants. Glenn: Hey! What's up guys? The others laugh at the sight of Glenn. Daryl: You comin'? Glenn: What? They keep laughing. Daryl: You comin'? Come on, we could use a hand! Glenn: Yeah, we'll be right down! Carol, Rick and Daryl walk toward the cars, still laughing, but T-Dog sees something. T-Dog: Hey Rick! Rick stops smiling immediately when he sees the two prisoners Axel and Oscar out of their cell block, walking towards them. He goes to see them. Rick: (to the others) Come with me. (to the prisoners) That's close enough. We had an agreement. Axel: Please, mister. We know that, we made a deal. (Glenn and Maggie arrive) But you gotta understand! We can't live in that place another minute, you follow me? All the bodies, people we knew! Blood, brains everywhere! There's ghosts! Daryl: Why don't you move the bodies out? T-Dog: You should be burning them. Axel: We tried! We did! Oscar: The fence is down on the far side of the prison. Every time we drag a body out, those things just line up. So hump in a body and just running back inside. Axel: Look! We had nothing to do with Thomas and Andrew, nothing! You trying to prove a point? You proved it, bro! We'll do whatever it takes to be a part of your group, just, please, please, don't make us live in that place!

Rick: Our deal is not negotiable. You either live in your cell block, or you leave. Oscar: (to Axel) I told you this was a waste of time. They ain't no different than the pricks who shot up our boys. You know how many friends' corpses we had to drag out this week? Just threw 'em out like... Those were good guys! Good guys who had our backs against the really bad dudes in the joint like Thomas and Andrew. Now, we've all made mistakes to get in here, chief, and I'm not gonna pretend to be a saint, but believe me... we paid our due. Enough that we would rather hit that road, than to go back into that shithole. Rick looks at Daryl who says no with his head. At the entrance of the prison Daryl locks the prisoners outside the prison. Axel: Come on, dude! He joins T-Dog, Rick, Carol, Glenn and Maggie who are debating on what to do with the prisoners. Rick: (to T-Dog) Are you serious? You want them living in a cell next to you? They'll just be waiting for a chance to grab our weapons, you want to go back to sleeping with one eye open? T-Dog: I never stopped. Bring them into the fold. If we send them off packing, we might as well execute them ourselves. Glenn: I don't know, Axel seems a little unstable. Carol: After all we've been through? We fought so hard for all this, what if they decide to take it? Maggie: It's just been us for so long... They're strangers. I don't... it feels weird all of a sudden to have these other people around. T-Dog: You brought us in. Maggie: Yeah, but you turned up with a shot boy in your arms, didn't give us a choice. Glenn: They can't even kill walkers! Carol: They're convicts, bottom line! T-Dog: Those two might actually have less blood on their hands than we do. Daryl: I get guys like this. Hell, I grew up with them. They're degenerates, but they ain't psychos. I could have been with them just as easy as I'm out here with you guys. T-Dog: So you with me? Daryl: Hell no! Let 'em take their chances out on the road, just like we did! T-Dog: What I'm saying, Daryl... Rick: When I was a rookie, I arrested this kid. Nineteen years old, wanted for stabbing his girlfriend. The kid blubbered like a baby during the interrogation, during the trial, suckered the jury. He was acquitted due to insufficient evidence, and in 2 weeks later shot another girl. We've been through too much. Our deal with them stands. In Woodbury Michonne checks out the military vehicle that the Governor and his men took after killing all the soldiers. She sees bullet holes on the truck, traces of blood as well. The blood isn't dry yet. She climbs off the truck and walks away, when the Governor talks to her. The governor: Pretty amazing. If we had more ammo, we could cut down a whole pack of biters. I hear you and Andrea are leaving today. That's a shame, we could use a soldier like you.
