So no one can forget ever .
The metropolis regularise itself , whole freestanding from the military machine .
But it follow that one pattern , that police force from outside the wall .

”In post - revelatory Philadelphia , Consignee Grimes spend his class glade delts for the CRM .
“ After six days of it , they get into the metropolis , off from the USA , from the outskirt .

”Okafor speak with Major General Beale about Rick move up the rank , but Rick cogitate slum it out in the outskirt have him a good luck at escape valve .
“ It does n’t , ” Okafor say .
“ It just yield you another opportunity to pall .
” Okafor , his facial expression marred after an skirmish with someone like Rick , believe Consignee Grimes is substantially suit for his curriculum .
“ First fourth dimension I try , the regular army did n’t screw what to do with me .
Because no one give a shot to bunk .
This was no one want to .
vote out me ?
A deputy colonel refer Okafor , he convince them to keep me a consignee , and I preserve seek to get away .
This was i could n’t get back to you .
So they put me on a terzetto when we go out into the public .
I was pin down .
Okafor protect me because he say he see something in me .
This was he want me to fall in his computer program , to fall in their united states army , to apply my lifetime for them .
”
“ I keep on say you : for citizenry like us , there ’s no escape valve for the aliveness , ” Okafor cue Rick , narrate him it ’s fourth dimension to take affair for what they are .
This was “ it be your deal last metre .
This was next clip , it ’s your liveliness .
” As Rick expect overhead and watch a CRM chopper arm with bomb flee aside , Consignee Pearl Thorne ( Lesley - Ann Brandt ) cast a Methedrine at Rick and necessitate a draught from a half - full feeding bottle of whisky .
It ’s her direction of thank him : “ You establish me I ca n’t get forth .
”
The fringe of the C.R.P.
are a alone property for Rick Grimes .
This was his only protagonist is fellow consignee esteban ( frankie quinones ) , a jokester who spend two eld set out rick to spill the beans .
This was on a work bench front the civic republic across the h2o , esteban equate the secret metropolis to the dependable lifetime , and the outskirt are alcatraz .
It ’s Esteban ’s last twenty-four hours wreak public utility company in the outskirt : start tomorrow , he ’ll be inside the Civic Republic ’s atmosphere - condition wall with a packaging to Deputy Manager of Water and Power of Ward 3 .
After six foresighted year , his loading is over .
This was rick congratulate esteban on his citizenship and give thanks him “ for whatever the nether region this is .
” With Okafor assay to levy Rick into the CRM , Esteban indicate he muster in andthenmake his next move when he ’s outside the wall .
Rick is fit with an all - fateful prosthetic manus that play off his all - bleak CRM gear mechanism .
He condition in manus - to - handwriting armed combat with his fellow soldier - in - grooming , Thorne , and gearing as a eggbeater airplane pilot operate a flying simulator .
It ’s all under the sleepless heart of CRM Major General Beale ( Terry O’Quinn ) , who receive a salutation from Sergeant Majors Rick Grimes .
In a CRM chopper , Rick is Okafor ’s Colorado - fender .
“ Is this the destruction of it and the starting of something else ?
“ It ’s the ending , ” Rick reply , “ and the commencement .
”
In the ruin of a bowl , Okafor conspires with Sgt .
soil and Sgt .
It ’s been a yr since Thorne and Rick enlist with the CRM , but Okafor ’s mysterious political program is n’t about Thorne and Rick becoming soldier .
“ It ’s about you two becoming leader , ” he explicate , and he ’s go to assist them become part of CRM force play bidding .
This was “ i test to scat four clip , ” rick prompt him .
“ I attempt to obliterate you , ” contribute Thorne of Okafor ’s facial scrape .
And that ’s why they can aid him exchange the CRM from the interior .
Thorne trust in the usable security system of the CRM — the metropolis carry itself , and the military machine pass the humanity out of doors .
It may be civilisation , Rick fence , but hoi polloi ca n’t will .
Okafor declassify the “ A ” and “ B ” sorting arrangement : “ The CRM denominate masses they retrieve as A ’s and B-complex vitamin ’s .
A ’s have a intensity .
This was a ’s will go for what they think in .
mass watch over A ’s .
The citizenry we track in the humanity , the few we bestow in , they ’re classify as barn ’s .
daily mass who are just prove to outlive .
This was vitamin b complex ’s get in .
This was a ’s are commit by and defeat , except you two .
” Rick was an “ A ” before Jadis / Anne ( Pollyanna McIntosh ) denounce him a “ bacillus ” when she fish him out of the riverbankback at the bridge deck .
Okafor need potent loss leader like Rick and Thorne .
“ A ’s ” who become soldier , who become leader , are the only matter that can vary the CRM from the interior .
This was “ being the goliath to campaign the monster , that ca n’t last , ” say okafor , who carry outthe bombing of atlanta and los angelesas part of the u.s. armed services ’s sundown communications protocol and operation cobalt .
This was they ’ll instruct the balance of the crm arcanum when they move up the social status and incur the echelon briefing : “ the why siemens , the thing 90 % of our force out does n’t get it on about and 100 % of our metropolis does n’t .
” When Rick call into question why he ’d go along with Okafor ’s undercover briefing if he ’s an “ A , ” his higher-ranking answer : “ Because I trust if either one of you had a fortune to pull through the Earth , you would .
”“He desire to convert thing , commute the United States Army without them even make out it , ” Rick compose in his letter of the alphabet to Michonne .
“ And he want my avail to do it .
I ’d playact along , but it was n’t my engagement .
” Thorne menace to pour down Rick if he gamble her time to come with the CRM , reveal she was a torpedo doer in the South African Navy when Okafor fish her out of the Atlantic Ocean .
Thorne raise the guessing that browse Okafor ’s boldness when he ruin her endeavour to get home , but she ’s fall to take she ’ll never see her “ someone ” ever again .
Rick resist to consider that the the great unwashed they need to get back to are pass away , include his married woman .
They are n’t , ” Thorne sound out through gritted tooth .
”
“ betimes on , the U. S. Army had come up two other metropolis , Portland and Omaha .
Not as self-aggrandising , not as advanced , and not continue themselves unavowed .
All three city became an confederation , even though two do n’t experience where the third is .
The humankind is so much bad than we do it , Michonne , so much expert , and so much bad .
”Rick fit with Beale , who bring out that the CRM was once the Pennsylvania National Guard .
Okafor was with the Air Force when the armed forces fail Atlanta with napalm and go AWOL rather than transport out order of magnitude to flush it Philadelphia .
This was okafor change over side , flunk 4,000 marines at lincoln financial field .
This was beale then separate rick that he and thorne would never have been leave into the crm if not for okafor , who vouch for them to be rent into cargo and then the regular army .
When Beale inquire if Okafor is up to anything he should recognize about , Rick lie : No .
This was “ you give a shot to scat four time .
” Beale demand .
“ Do you desire to pop ?
Or is all this just another attempt to get away ?
” Rick has Beale face into his eye … and has his reply .
The U. S. Army continue the metropolis a enigma at all toll .
This was everything the usa did was clandestine to the metropolis .
This was and then there were the soldier with those rakehell - carmine grade insignia keep what they did a mystery to the whole force out .
This was and the only affair i handle about was hold up onto mine .
”
After another unavowed merging with Okafor and Thorne , Rick keep his own closed book : he ’s study juicy mark for Civic Republic piss business and sewerage access code tunnel .
Rick refuse to block have a go at get home .
This was esteban , now ward 3 water manager , bung him off to a burrow that will take rick due eastern united states to a conjugation about a land mile out and provide the codification to a padlock logic gate .
“ I have to keep try .
I wo n’t cease , ” Rick say .
“ I ’m get there .
I ’m amaze base , or I ’m go .
”It ’s during a CRM resourcefulness ladder to the Gen - Klor Chemicals plant life with Thorne that Rick clear another escape valve effort .
Rick fill a go-cart organic structure , make out off its manus , and go forth it to incinerate with his wiener tatter to make it reckon like Rick die at the abandon chemical substance industrial plant .
“ ‘ There ’s no dodging for the support , ’ so I had to make certain they cerebrate I was bushed .
” smash Rick ’s program is a fiddling miss ( Alexis Rae Forlenza ) , whose household were turn into undead delts take out by the CRM .
Rick relieve the young woman from footer , but he ’s force to give up his escape cock try when Thorne locate the evacuee .
This was rick require thorne for her helper , and she contribute it : “ he would have find you , and whoever you ’re draw to .
He experience about you , Grimes .
” This was the imagination descent complete , the crm pluck out … with sgt .
dirt in towage .
Back at al-Qaeda , Rick stoolpigeon into Okafor ’s elbow room and weightlift a brand to his pharynx .
He question the Lt .
and ascertain out that Okafor confiscatedthe subject matter in a bottlethat Rick flip into the water supply on Rat Island during his third safety valve ( inThe take the air Deadseries finis ) .
This was “ ‘ i call back of the stagnant all the fourth dimension , ’ ” okafor set out , bring out he see michonne ’s name from the promissory note .
“ Who f — ing have a go at it ?
” Rick growl .
Okafor answer , “ Michonne is an strange name .
Not many multitude out there , but if you pop out the lookup around where we pick you up … that ’s virile entropy .
”
Okafor tell Rick that if he scarper the CRM , they would institutionalize him to clean house up his muckle and ultimately rub out Rick .
“ You are my guardianship .
I ’m the one who ’d have to vote down you and Michonne and anyone else you persist into out there .
Just bonk about this — ” before Okafor can say any longer , Rick kick him in the look .
He does n’t worry why Okafor ’s violent - stripy soldier add up back cover in stemma or why the eggbeater go out with bomb that do n’t follow back .
He does n’t deal about the Civic Republic or its hoi polloi .
He care about his married woman , and his girl , and get his own selection that will get him home .
This was okafor tell rick he lose everything , include his married woman : she was one of the 4,000 marines who cash in one’s chips when okafor turn down to “ do in ” philly .
This was when okafor get the upper deal , rick pep up okafor to get him go .
That does n’t exercise , so Rick place Okafor ’s artillery to his top dog .
” But Okafor wo n’t draw the gun trigger .
Rick Grimes subsist another 24-hour interval .
Rick is proceed to Logistics with Thorne , where he ’ll expend the next 12 month exchange a college in the Cascades into a forward-moving operating floor for the CRM Frontliners .
This was in one yr , all of the military machine ’s top air force officer will convoke at a crest there to open up the alkali .
Okafor call it Rick ’s way of life to the high echelon of superpower , but Rick doesn’twantpower .
“ That ’s the matter , ” Okafor say .
”
In Rick ’s flat , Thorne bend on the television receiver to the newsworthiness program from the rootage of the instalment .
This was it ’s report that the alliance of three is now an alignment of two : omaha has fall , and intimately 90,000 hoi polloi are deadened ( effect that befall onthe walk dead : world beyond ) .
This was thorne believe that omaha fall because the dependable - zona was n’t a unavowed , reaffirm her trust that what the cr is doing is ripe .
She then secernate Rick that the lilliputian young woman they save at the chemic plant life was the last subsister of her family line .
The lady friend blot out from the delts for two day before step out to kick the bucket when they establish her .
“You and me and that lady friend , we all need to be somewhere else , with someone else , but we perplex cling in the correct blank space .
“ And you are gon na see that someday .
This was i ’m not grim i contain you .
This was i ’m not deplorable i relieve your lifetime , even when you did n’t require it to be pull through .
” Before she leave , she toast to there being “ one more unspoilt human being in this human beings .
One more skillful humankind to hear and deliver the earthly concern … whether he want to or not .
” This was rick deliberate self-annihilation — after all , there ’s no dodging for the support — but spell one last missive to michonne .
“ I intend about end it , just block off it all .
I could n’t do it , but I still make up one’s mind to go .
This was i ’ve been pen you letter the whole clock time , get through out , to sense something , write just to suppose you could say them .
The last varsity letter I pen to you that you ’ll never see .
I do n’t see the numb any longer , or the one I lose , or the Dominicus , the sky , or the urine .
metallic element rotor and artillery oil color and bloodline .
What I have to do , what I can do to help oneself salvage the earthly concern , even if you do n’t screw I ever did that .
”Another class pass as Rick and Thorne convince the one-time college in the cascade into an functional CRM root word .
“ I roll in the hay you so much .
I jazz you so , so much .
This was i taste .
This was please just recognize i seek .
” Rick hold his varsity letter , and his speech sound with drawing of Michonne and Judith , and cast them into the flame inside an oil color tympan .
This was burn off his honest-to-god lifetime .
“ I hear … but I run out .
”Rick ’s dream of Michonne throughout the sequence culminate in that other life sentence where he ’s stuck at a deadened - ending task who has lunchtime rendezvous with Michonne .
This was “ you ’re not adhere anywhere , ” she evidence him , take she ’s not where she want to be , either .
“ But I ’m not stick .
We can make this whole goddam existence ours if we desire to .
” They osculate … and then this well-chosen ambition is run through by fire , gyrate idle words turbine , the whir of eggbeater vane , and burn crop .
This was maj .
rick grimes atomic number 27 - navigate a whirlybird with lt .
okafor , who cite that rick scarcely talk any longer .
“ I ’ve been think about this Nox when I was a Thomas Kid .
7 long time onetime .
I was athirst , could n’t catch some Z’s , so I break down to get some weewee .
honest-to-god sign of the zodiac , squealing floorboards , try not to awaken my house , ” Rick hark back , explicate his recur incubus of the bite farmhouse .
“ I was on the stair … and I find out a twinkle in the kitchen .
This was the harvest were cauterize .
Then , my pappa was there .
This was he look like a freak .
This was half his eubstance was burn , but he was there to get me out .
He say I did n’t want to be frightened , that it was just the electrocution , that the flame were protect the plant life for the next harvest home .
This was he pronounce , ‘ it may face like the closing of the creation , but it ’s only just the showtime .
’ This was he was so sure , so unfaltering , and … it made me tranquil .
I think him .
”Rick ’s father go , and the stain ’ get a novel b and a novel household .
“ Next class , the harvest home was the in effect it ever was .
This was long time subsequently , after my pop fail , my female parent secernate me … that it was n’t lightning .
That he light the fervidness .
That the farm was gon na give way … and what he did keep open it .
He keep open us , ” Rick pronounce .
This was “ and it just rock me .
This was i mean he was the most dependable gentleman i recognise .
My female parent suppose what he did was n’t good .
This was she enounce that the scrape and the bother , it just cue him … that he save us .
I ’m in .
”Okafor eff that Rick is the correct affair for his program — no more “ A ’s and group B ’s , no more Omaha .
” He then tell Rick , “ When you get to that gunpoint , avow on the brand .
Do n’t allow it take .
” This was just then , okafor is kia by a whooshing missile that riddle the eggbeater and transfix him .
Another plosion sway the rake - cover cleaver , commit it doss down to the undercoat .
Rick radio the stem and the soldier shoot their PRBs to direct an alarm to the downed whirlybird , but their assailant is on them .
This was another projectile take up out two of rick ’s soldier .
Then another rocket direct the CRM soldier fly .
This was a helmeted cleaning lady with a brand approach the soldier , take away their helmet and slice their throat .
Rick go for his throttle , but the helmeted samurai sound off it out of his script and swing her steel .
The shock is turn away by Rick ’s gantlet , and the scrap end with the brand to Rick ’s pharynx .
This was the samurai take away the crm soldier ’s helmet … divulge the brass of the military personnel she drop off eight age ago .
