The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 4 "VATOS"

DOWNLOAD EPISODE 4

Andrea and Amy sit in a canoe on the quarry lake, fishing. They reflect on how their father taught them different fishing knots based on Andrea's need to keep the fish, and Amy's need to throw them back.

Nearby, in a field above the campsite, Jim furiously digs holes in the ground.

On the department store rooftop, an enraged Daryl points his crossbow at T-Dog, but relents when Rick pulls his revolver.

Back at the campsite, Dale approaches Jim, who refuses to respond. Amy and Andrea, meanwhile, present the group with their lines of fish. Dale interrupts the excitement to express concern over Jim.

Daryl and the others follow Merle's trail of blood to a kitchen, where Sterno cans burn next to an iron steak weight crusted with skin — the result, they speculate, of Merle cauterizing his stump.

Rick agrees to help Daryl search the streets for his brother. "Only if we get those guns first," T-Dog says.

At camp, Shane and the others approach Jim, who still won't explain why he's digging. Lori tells Jim he's scaring the children, and Shane orders Jim to take a break.

"If I don't, then what?" Jim asks Shane. "You're gonna beat my face in like Ed Peletier." Jim swings his shovel at Shane, who tackles him. Subdued, Jim cries over the death of his wife and sons. "The only reason I got away," Jim says, "is 'cause the dead were too busy eating my family."

In Atlanta, Glenn outlines a plan to retrieve Rick's bag: Daryl will watch his back from the store's alley, while Rick and T-Dog cover a second alley two blocks away.

On the street, Glenn runs toward the tank. Back in the alley, a teenager, Miguel, approaches Daryl. Daryl trains his crossbow on Miguel, who begins screaming.

Glenn grabs the bag of guns — and Rick's hat — then runs back toward Daryl. Rick and T-Dog, hearing Miguel's screams, also head for the alley.

Daryl is jumped by two men, Jorge and Felipe, who have also come for the guns. The men turn to Glenn and start beating him. Daryl fires an arrow in Felipe's butt. They throw Glenn in a car and drive off — leaving Miguel and the guns behind.

At camp, Shane has tied Jim to a tree and is offering him water. Jim apologizes for scaring the children. Dale asks why he was digging. "I had a reason, don't remember," Jim says. "Something I dreamt last night."

Miguel leads Rick, Daryl and T-Dog to an abandoned factory, where the leader of the group, Guillermo, emerges. Rick proposes trading Miguel for Glenn.

Guillermo demands the bag of guns, threatening to kill Glenn if they don't hand it over. "I see two options," says Guillermo. "You come back with Miguel and my bag of guns, everybody walks. Or you come back locked and loaded."

Rick and the group retreat to a nearby foreman's office, where Daryl argues that the guns are more valuable than Glenn. "What life I have I owe to him," Rick says, loading a shotgun. Daryl and T-Dog follow suit.

Rick escorts Miguel into the warehouse carrying the guns on his back. Rick cuts Miguel loose and demands Guillermo hand over Glenn. "You said come locked and loaded," Rick says. "We're here."

An old woman wearing a nightgown shuffles into the middle of the standoff, asking Felipe for help with "Mr.Gilbert." She notices Rick's uniform and begs him not to take Felipe away.

Rick tells the old woman that Felipe is helping him find a missing person. "The Asian boy?" she asks, taking Rick's hand.

The woman leads Rick into a nursing home auditorium, where several elderly people (and Glenn) are grouped around an asthmatic man. Felipe helps the man with an inhaler.

"You're the dumbest son of a bitch I ever met," Rick tells Guillermo privately. Guillermo explains he was only trying to protect the food and medicine for the residents. The staff abandoned the patients, Guillermo explains, leaving only himself (the building custodian) and Felipe (a nurse) behind.

Guillermo wonders why the people look to him for leadership. "Because they can," Rick says, handing him a shotgun and a rifle.

Rick, Glenn, T-Dog and Daryl walk back to the cube van, but find it missing. "Merle," Rick says. "He's going to be taking some vengeance back to camp," Daryl predicts.

Andrea roots through Dale's RV looking for wrapping paper. "It's Amy's birthday tomorrow," she tells Dale, showing him the mermaid necklace she took from the department store. "You don't give a gift unwrapped."

Shane frees Jim and invites him to participate in the group's fish-fry.

Ed, his face bruised and swollen, broods in his tent, declining Carol's invite to join the group.

Sitting around a campfire, Morales asks Dale why he still winds his wristwatch every day. "It's important to keep track," Dale explains, paraphrasing a Faulkner parable about a father giving his son a watch — "the mausoleum of all hope and desire."

"You are so weird," laughs Amy, heading to the RV. Ed, meanwhile, hears rustling outside his tent. He unzips the flap to find a walker. The walker topples him, biting his neck as more walkers swarm in.

Amy emerges from the RV. A walker approaches from behind the door and bites her arm. Amy's screams send the camp into a panic. Walkers attack from all directions. Shane orders Lori to get Carl down as he fires his shotgun. Jim and Morales beat down walkers with baseball bats.

Rick and the others, running toward camp, hear gunshots in the distance and quicken their pace. Back at the RV, a walker tears into Amy's neck. Rick, Glenn, Daryl and T-Dog arrive and quickly shoot the remaining walkers.

Andrea runs to Amy. "I don't know what to do," Andrea cries. Amy touches Andrea's face, and then falls still. Andrea, sobbing, screams Amy's name.

"I remember my dream now," Jim says somberly. "Why I dug the holes."

DOWNLOAD EPISODE 3

A handcuffed and delirious Merle mumbles to himself on the roof of the department store. When walkers clamor at the stairwell door, he snaps out of his daze and resumes his task: Using his belt to try to reel in a hacksaw lying just out of reach.

Driving back to the camp, Morales advises Rick not to dwell on Merle's abandonment. "Nobody's gonna be sad he didn't come back, except maybe Daryl," Morales says, referencing Merle's brother.

At the camp, Lori cuts Carl's hair while Shane regales the boy with promises of catching frogs at the quarry to eat "Cajun-style Kermit legs." The quiet is interrupted by the approach of Glenn's sports car — its alarm still blaring.

Jim, a solemn man with experience as a mechanic, disconnects the alarm while Shane chastises Glenn for drawing attention to their location.

The cube van arrives. Andrea and Amy tearfully reunite, as does Morales with his family. Nearby, Lori comforts a tearful Carl.

Glenn explains to the group that they made it out of Atlanta thanks to the "new guy." Morales adds that he's a police officer like Shane.

Rick emerges from the van. Seeing Lori and Carl, he runs to them and the family embraces. Shane watches on.

Later, around a campfire, Rick describes the disorientation he felt waking in the hospital. Lori explains she was told Rick would be medevaced to Atlanta, but it never happened. "Mom said you died," Carl says. "She had every reason to believe that," Rick replies, thanking Shane for saving them.

Nearby, Ed — a hulking, blue-collar type — stokes his family's fire with a fresh log. Shane intervenes, instructing Ed to pull the log so they can't be seen from a distance. Ed concedes, instructing his meek wife Carol to pull it out. Ed glares as Shane bids Carol and their daughter Sophia good night.

Dale asks what they should tell Daryl about his brother. Rick volunteers to deliver the news, as does T-Dog, who is wracked with guilt for dropping the key. "Dixon's alive, and he's still up there," T-Dog says. "That's on us."

Later on in their tent, Rick tucks Carl in and then crawls into bed with Lori. They reflect on past mistakes and the second chance they've been given. "Not many people get that," Rick says. Lori returns Rick's wedding ring, and the two make love. Shane, melancholy and keeping watch atop the RV, stares at Rick and Lori's tent.

Rick wakes to find a fresh pair of clothes laid out for him. Outside, Carol is ironing his uniform. Nearby, Glenn mourns as Dale and Jim strip the sports car down for parts. "Maybe we'll get to steal another one some day," Rick consoles him.

Rick tells Lori he plans to return to Atlanta for Merle. Lori is shocked, but they're interrupted by Carl's screams.

Finding Carl unscathed, Rick, Shane, Jim and Glenn run past him to a clearing where a walker is devouring a deer with crossbow bolts sticking out of it. The four men beat on the walker until Dale arrives and decapitates it. "They never come this far up the mountain," Dale remarks. "They're running out of food in the city," Jim offers.

A man in a sleeveless t-shirt, Daryl, emerges from the woods and laments that the walker ate his hunted dear. Finding the walker head still alive, Daryl fires his crossbow at it, then heads into camp looking for Merle.

Shane tells Daryl that Merle didn't make it back — Rick chimes in, confessing he left Merle handcuffed to the roof. Daryl pulls a knife. Rick disarms him, and Shane locks him in a sleeper hold.

With the door to the roof chained securely shut, Rick tells Daryl, Merle is likely alive. "I'm going back," Rick says.

Back in his uniform, Rick prepares to leave with Daryl. Shane questions his decision to risk his life for Merle. "We left him like an animal caught in a trap," Rick says, enlisting Glenn's help. T-Dog volunteers as well.

"You're putting every single one of us at risk," Shane says, arguing they need everybody to protect the camp in case more walkers show up. What they really need, Rick contends, are more guns, which he'd be able to retrieve from his dropped bag. Rick also needs to collect his walkie-talkie from the bag so he can warn Morgan away from the city.

Shane gives Rick the last of his bullets for Rick's revolver. "Four men, four rounds," Shane says. "Let's just hope that four is your lucky number."

In their tent, Lori frets about Rick. "I'm not worried," Carl assures her. "Everything that's happened to him so far. Nothing's killed him yet."

Down at the quarry, Shane and Carl try to catch frogs with a bucket and net. Shane falls in the water trying to drive them to Carl.

Andrea, Amy, Carol and Jacqui do laundry nearby, discussing the modern luxuries they miss. "I miss my vibrator," Andrea says. "Me too," Carol adds. The women break into laughter, drawing Ed's attention.

Lori arrives, ordering Carl to return to camp and warning Shane away from her family. "I think we should talk," Shane says. "You can tell that to the frogs," Lori snaps. Shane asks Lori if she thinks he's not happy about Rick's return. "Why would you be?" Lori responds. "You are the one that told me that he died." Lori storms off.

Ed continues to glare at the women doing laundry. Andrea confronts him. "Don't think I won't knock you on your ass," Ed warns Andrea. Carol attempts to calm him while the others try to intervene. Ed slaps Carol's face.

Shane grabs Ed, throws him to the ground and pummels his face. "You put your hands on your wife, your little girl, or anybody else in this camp one more time, I will not stop next time," Shane warns. He kicks Ed in the chest before storming away.

In Atlanta, Rick, Daryl, Glenn and T-Dog return to the department store. They cut through the chain on the stairwell door and emerge onto the roof. On the ground, a hacksaw sits beside a severed hand. Bloodied handcuffs hang from the pipe above.

DOWNLOAD EPISODE 2

At the survivors' camp, Amy hands Lori mushrooms collected from the forest. She asks how to tell if theyíre poisonous, to which Lori replies there's only one way she know of: Ask Shane. Afterwards, Lori herself heads into the forest, where Shane sneaks up on her. "How much time do we have?" Shane asks. "Enough," Lori replies, and the two have sex.

Sealed in a military tank in Atlanta, Rick says over the CB radio: "Whoever you are, I donít mind telling you I'm a little concerned in here." A voice replies that Rick is surrounded by walkers, and advises him to make a run for it while they're distracted eating Rick's horse.

Rick takes a gun and a grenade off the dead soldier in the tank then opens the hatch. He jumps from the tank and runs down an alley, shooting walkers as he goes. Quickly, he meets up with the person who radioed instructions. Rick follows him to a ladder, which they climb to safety.

"Nice moves there, Clint Eastwood," says the young man who introduces himself as Glenn.

Glenn leads Rick down a staircase to an alley, which is free of all but a few walkers thanks to a bus blockade. When the two reach street level, two other people wearing riot gear emerge and beat down the walkers.

The group rushes inside a department store, where a woman named Andrea points a gun at Rick's head, furious at his recklessness. One of the men, Morales, informs Rick his gunshots have attracted scores of walkers. "You just rang the dinner bell," Andrea seethes.

Outside, walkers press against the store's front doors. The glass begins to crack.

A man, T-Dog, tries to radio "the others" but fails to get a signal. He suggests they might have better luck on higher ground.

On the roof, the group finds Merle Dixon — a middle-aged redneck — firing at walkers with a rifle. T-Dog chastises Merle for wasting bullets and attracting more walkers. Merle scoffs at taking orders from a "N——," which sets off a fight between the two.

Merle beats T-Dog then presses a handgun to his forehead, but Rick intervenes, hitting Merle with the butt of the rifle and handcuffing him to a pipe. "Things are different now," Rick tells Merle. "We survive this by pulling together, not apart."

Morales tells Rick there is no refugee center, that was a pipe dream. They're with a small group of survivors staying outside the city, but T-Dog can't reach them on the radio.

"We're on our own," Rick says. With the streets no longer safe, Rick suggests they try to escape underground. A woman named Jacqui, who formerly worked in the city zoning office, says that the building might have access to the sewers.

Glenn and Morales head to the basement while Rick and Andrea stand guard at the front of the store. "Sorry for the gun in your face," Andrea tells Rick. He understands, people do crazy things when they are afraid, but gives her some advice: "Next time," he says, "take the safety off."

Glenn and Morales travel through the sewer until they reach a grated barrier. They discuss ways to cut through, but abandon the idea when they see a walker devouring a rat on the other side.

In the store, Andrea spots a necklace with a mermaid pendant. "My sister," Andrea says. "She loves mermaids." Rick encourages her to take it. As Andrea pockets the necklace, walkers break through the exterior glass doors and begin pounding on the interior doors. Morales and Glenn arrive to report that the sewer is not an option.

Back on the roof, Rick spots a cube van at a nearby construction site. The ignition keys should be nearby, Rick theorizes, but they need to get past the walkers undetected. The group explains that if they hear you, see you or smell you, they eat you. Rick latches on to the scent idea. "They smell dead," Andrea offers. "We don't."

Wearing rubber gloves and rain jackets, Rick and Morales drag a dead walker in from the alley. After acknowledging the man's lost humanity, that he used to be just like the rest of them, Rick grabs an axe and hacks apart the body. He and Glenn then smear the corpse's guts on their jackets. Before leaving, Rick tosses T-Dog the key to Merle's handcuffs.

Outside, Rick and Glenn shuffle through crowds of walkers, unnoticed.

Back at camp, Amy frets over the whereabouts of the group — her sister in particular. Dale, an older man in a sun hat, receives T-Dog's garbled transmission explaining they're trapped. "We do not go after them," Shane insists. "We do not risk the rest of the group."

Back in Atlanta, a rainstorm passes over Glenn and Rick, washing the zombie guts off their jackets. Their human smell unmasked, the two are immediately attacked by walkers. Fighting them off, Rick and Glenn run to the construction site, hopping a fence that's blocking access. Once Glenn tracks down the key, he and Rick speed away in the van.

Rick orders Glenn to radio the group to get ready for pick-up. To lure the walkers away, Glenn drives off in a red sports car, which Rick has hotwired after setting off its alarm.

As the group rushes from the rooftop toward the loading dock, T-Dog reluctantly turns to Merle. He moves to set Merle free, but accidentally slips on the rain-soaked roof and drops the handcuff key down a drain.

"I'm sorry," T-Dog gasps. He runs back to the stairwell and chains the door shut. Merle is left screaming in rage on the roof.

Walkers break through the interior doors and enter the department store.

Outside, with the walkers lured away by Glenn's car alarm, Rick pulls the van up and the group piles in. T-Dog admits to the others he dropped the key, leaving Merle trapped on the roof.

As they escape the city, Andrea asks, "Where's Glenn?"

A wailing red sports car speeds full throttle out of Atlanta. Inside, Glenn screams with joy.

The Walking Dead Season 1 Episode 1 "DAYS GONE BYE"

DOWNLOAD EPISODE 1

On a deserted road, Sheriff's Deputy Rick Grimes pulls his police cruiser past overturned cars to a gas station. Vehicles filled with dead bodies litter the grounds; a sign hanging nearby declares "No Gas."

As Rick searches, he glimpses a little girl and calls to her. Her lips and right cheek have been torn away, blood dripping. She starts toward Rick, growling. As she approaches, Rick draws his gun and shoots her in the head.

Earlier, Rick and his partner Shane eat hamburgers in their car and joke about the differences between men and women. When the conversation turns to Rick's wife Lori, Rick turns somber. He explains that Lori recently accused him of not caring about his family in front of their son, Carl. "The difference between men and women?" Rick says, "I would never say something that cruel to her."

An APB reports a high-speed pursuit in progress. Rick and Shane head to the scene, where they lay down a spike strip. As they wait for the car, a young officer, Leon Bassett, muses about their chances of getting on a police chase reality show.

The car approaches, pursued by two more cruisers. When it hits the spike strip, it flips off the road. Rick approaches the overturned car. Two men emerge from the wreckage; one shoots Rick in his Kevlar vest. The other officers gun them down.

"Shane you do not tell Lori that happened," Rick says after the firefight. His back turned, Rick fails to notice a third gunman crawling from the car. The man fires and hits Rick in the side, where his vest does not protect him. He falls to the ground bleeding, then passes out.

Shane delivers flowers to Rick in the hospital, but Rick isn't fully conscious or at all aware of what's going on.

Rick wakes in the hospital room, unshaven and sweaty. He calls for Shane, then notices the flowers have wilted and died.

Rick exits his room. The hallway is dark and disheveled. He goes to the nurse's station and tries the phone: it's dead.

Through a doorway, Rick sees the ravaged body of a nurse missing most of her skin. Further down the hall, the walls are covered in blood and riddled with bullet holes. A double door has been chained shut, a message scrawled across: "Don't Open / Dead Inside." A woman's hands, her fingernails dirty and cragged, reach through the cracks.

Rick exits the back of the hospital to the loading dock, where hundreds of bodies wrapped in sheets are arranged in rows and piles.

He wanders down the road, spotting an overturned bicycle in a park. As he reaches for it, the body of a woman — badly decayed, her legs and lips missing — turns and reaches for him, pathetically moaning in hunger. Rick speeds away on the bicycle.

Rick arrives at his home to find the front door ajar and the house deserted. Sobbing on the floor, he calls for Lori and Carl.

Outside the house, Rick spots a man stumbling down the road. A young boy creeps up from behind and hits Rick with a shovel. "Carl, I found you," Rick whispers.

"Daddy I got this sumbitch," the boy screams. The boy's father, Morgan, approaches the stumbling man and shoots him in the head, then walks to Rick. "What's that bandage for?" Morgan asks Rick, pointing a gun at him. Rick passes out.

Rick wakes up tied to a bed. The boy, Duane, stands guard with a baseball bat. "Did you get bit?" Morgan asks Rick. "Just shot, as far as I know," Rick says.

"I never should have fired that gun today," Morgan says later. "The sound draws 'em. Now they're all over the street." Rick accuses Morgan of shooting a man in cold blood. "It was a walker," Morgan corrects.

Morgan explains to Rick that the man he shot would have tried to eat them. "One thing I do know, don't you get bit," Morgan says. Bites kill, he explains, then you become one of them.

A car alarm goes off. Rick and Morgan peer out to the street, which is filled with walkers, drawn by the noise of the alarm. When a woman wearing a nightgown appears, Duane runs away crying. The woman walks to the front door and tries to open it.

"She died in the other room on that bed," Morgan says. "I should have put her down. I just didn't have it in me. She's the mother of my child."

The next morning, Rick exits the house carrying a bat. "We're sure they're dead?" Rick asks, approaching a walker near the stoop. "They're dead." Morgan assures. Rick swings the bat, beating the walker down until it stops moving.

Rick tells Morgan he thinks his wife and son are still alive: He found empty drawers in his house, and the family pictures were gone. "Photo albums," Morgan laughs. "My wife, same thing."

"They're in Atlanta, I bet," Duane offers. Morgan explains there's a refugee center there with military protection and food. The Center for Disease Control — where they're rumored to be working on a cure — is also in Atlanta.

Rick, Morgan and Duane head to the police station, where they luxuriate in hot showers. Afterward, Rick packs a duffel bag with guns. He hands Morgan a rifle.

Rick loads the weapons in the trunk of his cruiser and prepares to set off for Atlanta. Morgan says he'll follow in a few days, once he and Duane have learned to shoot. Rick hands Morgan a walkie-talkie, instructing him to turn it on every day at dawn to make contact.

Morgan leaves Rick with a warning: "They may not seem like much one at a time," he says, "but in a group, all riled up and hungry? Man, you watch your ass."

The farewell is interrupted when Rick spots Leon Bassett, who has turned into a walker. Leon claws at the chain link fence separating them. Rick shoots him in the forehead.

Back home, Morgan takes the rifle upstairs and positions it facing the street. He begins shooting walkers. "Come on, baby," he says, searching for his wife. But when she appears, he's still unable to shoot her.

Rick returns to the park where he found the legless walker. "I'm sorry this happened to you," he says, shooting her in the head.

En route to Atlanta, Rick sends out a broadcast on his radio. In a camp outside the city, a group of survivors receive the transmission, but can't get a reply through. Shane, Lori and Carl are among them, but they don't recognize Rick's voice over the garbled transmission.

Lori thinks they should put signs up warning people away from the city and volunteers to go on her own. Shane argues that venturing out is too risky. Privately, Shane tells Lori she can't run off half cocked; she needs to keep it together for Carl who has lost so much already. Lori agrees, and they kiss passionately.

Out of gas, Rick abandons his car on the highway and heads out on foot. He approaches a farmhouse where he makes the grisly discovery that a man has shot his wife and committed suicide.

Rick finds a horse nearby, saddles up, and rides the rest of the way to Atlanta.

Rick rides into the devastated city of Atlanta. He searches the streets on horseback, finding an overrun military blockade.

Rick hears a helicopter pass overhead. He tries to follow it, but rides straight into a horde of walkers. The undead swarm Rick's horse, toppling him. Rick scrambles underneath an abandoned tank, but walkers grab at him from both ends.

Rick shoots several of them, then places the gun to his temple. "Lori, Carl, I'm sorry," he says. Looking up, he sees an open hatch underneath the tank. He crawls inside.

Inside, a dead soldier turns to bite Rick. He shoots. Walkers surround the tank as Rick seals himself inside, with no idea what he'll do next.

The tank's radio crackles. "Hey you, dumbass," a voice says. "You in the tank. Cozy in there?"
