Fight the Living/Episode 11: Greene

This is episode 3 of 8 of Fight the Living (2)

1992
Hershel was lying in his bed. He didn't have his beard yet. He heard screams downstairs. He ran down and saw a five-year-old Maggie standing next to her step-mother, Annette.

"Hershel, it's comin'!" Annette told him in between grunts.

They were in the hospital. Annette was screaming while gripping Hershel's hand the whole time.

"I see the head!" one of the doctors shouted.

They finally pulled out a crying baby and handed it to Annette.

"Sweet, sweet Beth..." she said as she held her.

Present Day
Hershel was standing in his bathroom. He had just wiped his face clean and looked in the mirror. His beard was gone.

(Cue Opening Credits)

Glenn, Maggie, and the others were wondering around outside checking the farm's parameter.

"Good thing Rick left some of the animals here." Glenn said.

"Yeah. Even if everything with Woodbury turns out okay, why can't we just stay here?" Maggie said.

"Because a herd could just tear through here at any moment."

"We can make it safe. I mean, we can all move here and build walls, right?"

"Even if all of us move here, there still wouldn't be enough of us to pull that off."

"This place is untouched. We could lend months working on it before walkers even show up!"

"Say we all move here. We build half of the walls and giant horde of walkers shows up. Then what do we do?"

"We go back to prison and wait for the walkers to move out again."

"We couldn't go back to the prison because someone will've already taken it. We'd go back just to get shot in the face."

11 months earlier
Maggie was feeding the chickens with her sister.

"What d'you think of these guys that showed up yesterday?" Maggie asked.

"They seem okay. But I don't think Dad wants them stayin'. He's barely letting Jimmy stay."

"Did Jimmy's parents really get...eaten?"

"That's what he told me."

They both heard a scream and ran. Shawn was stuck under a tractor and a little boy sitting on the tractor was getting grabbed by walkers. Two men, one the father of the little boy and the other a black man that had appeared the night before, came running to the little boy's rescue.

"I got you, Duck!" the father shouted as he pulled him away and the other man punched the walker in the face. He ran to help Shawn as Maggie and Beth watched in horror. The walkers broke through the fence and but Shawn. Hershel shot all of the walkers on the spot.

Annette put her palms over her mouth and cried when she saw Shawn.

Hershel looked at the two men, Duck, and Duck's mother. A little girl was clinging to the black man and crying.

"You-you didn't even try to help!" Hershel shouted at them, "Get off my land! Now!"
