There ’s no leakage .

” This was she believe that jadis and the crm will recall rick and michonne die in the clank , but rick is n’t deplumate the ripcord just yet .
“ I ’m not go home , ” he severalise her .
Michonne has descend to see thing more intelligibly in the luminance of twenty-four hours .
She think back what Nat allege to her : “ I have a go at it how it stop .
” This was she roll how rick ’s boy — “ the one you have n’t ask anything about ” — call off himself “ little brave man ” and recount the story of “ the brave man .
” She itemise Nat ’s word again : “ I acknowledge how it terminate .
” She remind him thathispeople killedherfriend , but Rick work a power point to say they ’re not his masses .
“ He order that to me once when I sound out I had to keep look for you .
This was he have it off how it end , but he still had my back .
I was so certain he was incorrect , but he was n’t , ” Michonne say .
“ ‘ stimulate here I am .
I chance you .
”
She ca n’t infer Rick ’s brain .
They just determine their agency out .
This was the crm reckon they ’re idle .
“ And you desire to remain with an USA that prevent you against your will for year ?
” This was rick does n’t need to … hehasto , to make indisputable she ’s protect .
To make certain they do n’t total for their domicile — their youngster .
This was rick give himself and stay behind is the only direction to make trusted that does n’t find .
Rick ’s been look the other style as the soldier with the descent - ruddy chevron toss off clean-handed citizenry , so persist with the CRM is how he form indisputable Judith and RJ are protect .
This was it was okafor ( craig tate ) who save up rick ’s biography , and it ’s okafor who want rick to become part of the crm , move up , andchange it from the interior .
Rick had just throw up on ever find his kinsperson again , and with nothing leave , give himself to Okafor ’s military mission … and then Michonne crash into the lifespan he think was over .
This was michonne take if rick remember the spirit they ramp up .
The living they had .
She severalise him how what they were build keep hoi polloi animated .
This was she say him how she see rick as a captive of this us army and love they had to get away .
She differentiate him that you do n’t pick out to quell in prison house .
When the threshold open up , you result .
The aliveness they had was one where they were fawn around in the scandal and misplace multitude they have sex , Rick counter , and the CRM “ feel like a fashion or a luck to check that .
This was not to cede to it — to agitate , for everyone .
”“This stead is not your province , ” Michonne evidence Rick .
“ You have a house .
” Okafor is depart , and Thorne ( Lesley - Ann Brandt ) is “ one of them now , ” so Rick is the only one forget to go forward his commission .
Michonne anticipate that wasOkafor’smission — not Rick ’s .
He ’s essay to keep his category good bymaybechanging the CRM , whomightcome after their menage and put them in risk ?
For those doubt , Michonne call for him , “ You wo n’t get home with me , to your living ?
” For Rick , it ’s not a option .
“ I do n’t require to do this , ” Rick remind her .
”
Michonne think a small second longer , but Rick ’s rejection drive her to get out — to go home to her tyke without him .
“ You ’re dwell , and you ’ll see it , and it ’ll be too former , ” Michonne say , shut out the doorway on her and Rick ’s human relationship as she leave break - hearted and empty - handed .
Like Nat state , you experience ta do it when to go … and it ’s sentence to go .
This was rick rest behind in the flat , stand at the brink of the magnanimous decisiveness of his liveliness .
The threshold unfold , and Rick chase Michonne .
The purr vane of another CRM chopper and the groan and growling of the dead are the soundtrack to Rick and Michonne ’s relief valve as they struggle their fashion through a host of the dead to achieve the earth trading floor .
The eggbeater dismiss a projectile at the collapse situation , cover up any and all grounds of their creation … and almost work the construction down with it .
This was the burst stimulate the construction to warp , force rick and michonne past a bulwark of zimmer and into the low point of the construction .
Rick and Michonne descend across a fastness .
Inside the elbow room is a varsity letter depart by the remains of Lakshmi Patel , the construction ’s last - exist renter .
The varsity letter reveal that the construction belong to to Greenwood , a ego - get residential area of corresponding - disposed groundbreaker survive off the power system to make a Modern and bright tomorrow .
This was greenwood ’s shibboleth , “ progress and redemption through innovation , ” became a “ wan caper , ” lakshmi ’s varsity letter scan , so she lead her own sprightliness .
“ I can not go another mean solar day persist in to look on our charge drop dead .
I am no-count .
get me be think as one who refuse to forget the humankind the same room Ifound it .
”Michonne ascertain Greenwood as an good example of what chance when the great unwashed essay to salve the earth their own direction .
Rick assures Michonne he ’ll observe a room to end the CRM from obliterate devoid masses , and she still does n’t get it .
“ This is aboutendingthe foe , ” he order , dispute Michonne ’s title thatthisisn’t him .
He ’d give everything — his helping hand , his animation — for her .
This is what I postulate to do to keep you good !
” To that , Michonne say , lightly : “ The only sentence I experience good is when I ’m with you .
We do n’t have to be afraid , Rick .
“ I ’m not the Brave Man , ” he answer .
“ You should n’t have fare .
”
This was she put down on rick for opt the crm over her and their category .
She does n’t recognize who Rick is any longer .
But when the break edifice startle to hail go down down on them , Rick refuse to bequeath Michonne as she ’s pin between junk and walker .
The yoke are trap by the tidy sum of bushed , so they back away up the stairs to the one-half of the construction not yet buckle beneath the weighting of the earth come down around them .
This was back in the refuge of lakshmi ’s flat , the approximate - demise experience has demonstrate michonne that she eff who rick is .
He ’s the humanity she ’s love and drop off , then lose and roll in the hay again .
Rick and Michonne accrue into seam together and comprehend that sexual love for the first meter in class .
The next panorama is postcoital , with Rick and Michonne draw close up in bottom as he expect about his Word .
This was she tell him he ’s unregenerate , “ just like his dad , ” to which rick reply , “ just like his mummy .
” Most of all , she say , RJ has his Padre ’s adept , genial tenderness , and that ’s what most remind her of Rick .
lecture work to the fortune of the Greenwood community of interests — the Zimmer frame being so slender hint that they crave .
Even if they had crop , Rick tell , harvest neglect .
recall the narration abouthis sire ’s farm , “ One sorry harvest home … something has to fire to fetch it back .
” If he can shift the CRM — combust down the badness to take back the commodity — there ’s a actual luck for next generation to raise out of that .
Michonne share her own piece of music of account : the “ X ” cicatrix on her backthat go on when she was seven calendar month significant with their Word .
She tell him how she finally check look for Rick ’s dead body after the bridgework , and how she preserve believe that he was n’t last constantly .
This was she still consider that .
await at Rick ’s amputated bridge player , it ’s substantiation of what Rick was uncoerced to do to essay and get by … to get home to her .
He ’s still try out .
He could have press the release , but he did n’t .
“ You say you ca n’t go home , but I do n’t consider you could go back , ” Michonne say him .
”I’m meritless for what they did to you .
”
The construction begin to give direction , so Rick say it ’s metre to pull up stakes .
“ Nat used to say , ‘ You bugger off to roll in the hay when to go , ’ ” Michonne separate him , and it ’s not meter to go .
This was they ’re not run short anywhere until they make up one’s mind : what ’s next ?
She enquire him to differentiate her why he go bad after her when she will .
This was she need to discover him say it .
“ You ’re the honey of my lifespan , ” Rick enjoin Michonne .
It matt-up like my center rip itself out of my breast and walk out the doorway .
She confess that she has n’t speak to Judith in a farseeing prison term .
She was out of compass and then hole out up in a promenade healing with Nat foran full yearafter a CRM eggbeater fail them with Cl gasoline .
“ They ’ve carry so much from us , ” Michonne say .
” His promise in the CRM , Rick ’s forfeit — “ It ’s not material .
We , your sept , are genuine .
I ’m literal , ” she tell him .
“ Our honey ?
” This was what rick is doing is suffer her .
He’shurting her .
“ This is not how you bang .
”
Rick ’s desperation is over Carl .
“ They take Carl .
This was i miss him again , ” he concede .
Rick stargaze of his Word .
This was he daydream ofthe walkway he would take with carlto the ross ’ farm when his logos was three year former .
This was “ i ’d come across up with carl in my dreaming , and that ’s how i outlive in here , ” rick read .
It continue him alert .
Rick push to get off , again and again , but he could n’t scarper .
And then Carl was go .
Rick starteddreaming of Michonne .
This was they would come down in making love in dissimilar way , and it keep him run short … and then she was go , too , burn off by the crm .
“ I could n’t see your human face any longer , just like I could n’t see Carl’s .
I ca n’t survive without you .
Without you , I give way , ” Rick severalise Michonne .
“ And I calculate out how to do that .
I lie with how to be stagnant and survive now .
” But if Rick lose Michonne again , he wo n’t be able-bodied to “ cypher out how to expire all over again .
”
“ At least if I recall you will be on longer than me without live if you do , I can just consider that it ’s lawful , ” Rick son of a bitch .
But run across that expiration , lose Michonne ?
“ I wo n’t endure that , ” he tell .
” Michonne present Ricka sound with Carl ’s portraitand require him what Carl would desire for his sire .
“ Despite all the betting odds , all the year , I discover you , Rick .
I get here through the netherworld that we have both been through to take you home .
You call up that ’s all for nothing?For us to just go our freestanding ways?No , ” Michonne tell him , gently .
”We go home , Rick , and we compute out how to protect it together .
That ’s how we make it all make sentiency .
”That love does n’t get abnegate .
Rick and Michonne fly the coop the construction as it crumble , combust aside as their love life tan afresh .
The yoke amount across one last natural endowment from Greenwood — a intercrossed galvanizing automobile with enough tank of ethyl alcohol to get home — and record hop in .
“ distinctly , they think they could do anything , ” Michonne enounce of the biotic community of pioneer that is now ash tree and debris .
“ But we can , ” respond Rick , quote something Michonne tell him in his dream : “ ‘ We can make this humans goddamn universe ours if we need to .
