Episode 4 Around Every Corner
The group (Lee, Randy, Howard, Clementine, Kenny, Chuck, Omid, Christa, Ben, Doug(twdg), Carley, Douglas(rc9gn), Debbie, Bucky, and Theresa) finally reach the Atlantic city of Savannah... The streets are empty, there are no walkers. The group is walking on the streets and Omid is limping because of his injured leg. Clementine looks at Lee who has her walkie-talkie.
Clementine: Can't I just hold it?
Lee: Not now, Clementine. Maybe later, okay?
Clementine: Okay
Randy: How's Omid?
Christa: His leg's pretty bad.
Omid: I'm fine, Christa.
Christa: You're not fine, you need to rest. He needs to rest.
Douglas(rc9gn): Kenny, how much do we have until we reach the River Street?
Kenny: Should be just a few more blocks up ahead.
Theresa: And there will be boats there?
Randy: I'm sure hope so.
Kenny: There'll to be boats. Have to be. Have to be.
Ben: It's going to be okay. Kenny knows what he's doing.
Howard: Shut it, Ben.
Suddenly, the group hears a bell ringing, coming from a church.
Ben: What the hell?
Christa: Maybe this city's not so dead after all…
Kenny: Keep moving, no one's ringing that bell. It's automatic, on a timer.
Lee looks at his wristwatch.
Lee: What kind of a church bell goes off at twenty past the hour?
Randy suddenly sees a figure running on the tower.
Randy: Someone's up there!
Bucky: Are you sure, Randy? I don't see anyone up there.
Randy: I know what I saw. I'm telling you, there's someone up in that bell tower! Someone alive!
Suddenly, a Female voice is heard from the walkie-talkie.
Voice: If I were you, I'd get out of the streets. Now.
Carley: What the hell?
Christa: Who is that?
Debbie: I thought you said that radio didn't work!
Lee grabs the walkie-talkie.
Lee: Hey, is that you up in the bell tower?
Voice: Hehehehehe. I'm afraid not.
Randy: What do you want from Clementine?
Voice: And ruin the surprise by telling you? Don't worry, I'll see that little girl.
The transmission ends.
Lee: Goddammit!
Omid: Who the hell was that? Was she trying to fuck with us?
Ben: Sounded more like a warning.
Chuck turns around.
Chuck: Ask not for whom the bells tolls...
Kenny: What're you yammerin' on about?
The group turns their backs and they look terrified.
Chuck:... It tolls for thee….
The walkers show up thanks to the bell.
Lee: EVERYBODY, RUN!
The group runs. Kenny shoots the walker in front of him, Christa shoots walkers while trying to protect Omid, Carley shoots other walkers and when one is about to jump on Carley, Doug(twdg) stabs the walker in the head with a knife much to Carley's surprise.
Carley: Doug(twdg)...
Doug(twdg): Come on, let's go!
Chuck kills walkers with his shovel, Douglas(rc9gn) kills some walkers with a screwdriver, Theresa hit the walker's leg with a baton making them fall and Randy shoot the walkers. A walker grabs Kenny by his leg and he falls down. He reaches for his gun but he can't grab it. Lee shoots the walker, releasing Kenny.
Kenny: Little too close don't ya think?
Clementine: Ben!
Howard: Cunningham!
Lee and Randy turn around and they see Howard, Clementine, and Ben surrounded by walkers.
Randy: Clementine! Howard!
Lee: BEN! Help them!
Ben looks scared and he runs away much to Lee and Randy's disbelief
Randy: What the cheese, Ben?!
Petey: What the hell, BEN?!
Lee: Goddammit!
Lee shoots the walkers. A walker is approaching Clementine and Howard.
Clementine: AH!
Howard: I'M TOO CHARMING TO DIE!
Lee and Randy: NO!
The walker is about to attack Clementine and Howard but Chuck hits it with his shovel and stabs the walker. Chuck looks at Howard
Chuck: Get her the hell out of here! I'll catch up with ya!
Howard nods at Chuck and he with Clementine gets back to the group.
Kenny: Move your asses! River Street's right up ahead!
Theresa: That's not all…
Other walkers show up.
Kenny: Oh, Gimme a fucking break!
Debbie: Wait, where the cheese is Chuck?
The group sees Chuck fighting the walkers on his own.
Bucky: Oh no, he's in trouble! We've got to help him!
Kenny: There's no time! We've gotta go, now!
Chuck: I'll be fine! Just go!
The group listens to Chuck and they run away.
The group flees into the backyard of a mansion that has been thoroughly fortified. Omid trips on the way in and Douglas(rc9gn) closes the gate.
Randy: You okay, Omid?
Omid: Ugh.. yeah.
Christa: You've opened up your wound, you're bleeding! Shit, that's gonna get infected. We've got to get him inside, clean him up!
Lee: Kenny? How's that door coming?
Kenny: I'm working on it, I'm working on it!
Christa: Well, work faster, would you?
Debbie: Everybody, calm down! We will figure out how to get in.
Lee and Randy going to find a way to get into the house while Howard sits on the ground very tired from running.
Clementine: Do you think the dead people saw us come back here? Are they going to find us?
Randy: Try not to worry. Even if they saw us, they can't get in here.
Clementine: We did. Why can't they?
Randy: We're a lot smarter than they are. They're just like dumb animals, they can't open doors.
Clementine: I used to have a pet hamster. One night he figured out how to open the door to his cage, and when we woke up he'd eaten half a box of cookies.
Randy: Hamster and Walker are huge differences, Clem.
Clementine: Yeah, right. This time, we're the cookies.
Randy: Just stay away from the gate. All of us gonna see about getting us inside the house.
Clementine sits next to Omid and Christa. Randy walks to Omid and Christa
Randy: How's he looking?
Omid: I'm all right.
Christa: You're not all right. You've re-opened your wound, you're losing blood and God on'y knows what might've gotten in there. It could be infected, it could be-
Omid: No offense but you really need to work on your bedside manner.
Randy: Try not to worry, it always looks worse than it really is.
Omid: Except when it's a bite.
Randy: Yeah, well it's not a bite. We're gonna get you fixed up.
Christa: Just get us inside the house, will you?
Randy: I'm on it.
Christa: Randy.
Randy: Yeah?
Christa: Thanks.
Randy: No problem.
Randy walks over to Ben and looks at him with disappointment.
Randy: Ben.
Ben: I'm sorry, I didn't mean to leave them behind.
Randy: You almost get her and my best friend killed.
Ben: I'm sorry! I don't know what happened. I just… froze up. Hasn't that ever happened to you?
Randy: Just hear what I'm saying to you. You put any of us in danger again, I wish you were the one who left the group.
Ben: I hear you.
Carley talks with Doug(twdg).
Carley: Thanks for saving me again, Doug(twdg).
Doug(twdg): No problem, I will do anything to protect our new family.
Carley: Yeah, about that... Don't you think you're becoming a little... Obsessed?
Doug(twdg): I'm sorry, it's just that... After what happened with Kenny and his family… I don't want this to happen to the baby.
Carley: Yeah, I know what you are trying to say.
Lee talks to Bucky.
Lee: Think we can get in through one of these windows?
Bucky: I don't think so, Mr Everett. Whoever owned this place had them all barred up.
Lee: Yeah… looks pretty solid but please called me Lee instead.
Bucky: Right, Mr Lee.
Lee talks to Kenny.
Lee: You think maybe someone's still inside?
Kenny: Nah, we'd have heard from 'em by now, all the racker we're making. But whoever was here did a pretty good job fortifying it. Nice place to hole up… if we can just figure out how to get in.
Debbie looks at the pet door.
Debbie: What's this? Looks like there's some kind of pet door here.
Ben: I tried it already, that's locked too.
Kenny: Who the hell ever heard of a locked doggie door?
Omid: I have. My neighbor had one just like that. It's radio controlled, the dog wears a collar with a chip in it so the door opens when the dog gets close to it.
Kenny: Well, shit. Every day's a school day.
Bucky: Yup, learning is better than we expected.
Debbie: At least going to school gives us the education we need.
Kenny: But it's still wasting money, you know.
Debbie: And that's why your son was so stupid. That's cute.
Kenny: Why you?!
Kenny is just about to pout Debbie but Lee stops him
Randy: All right! All right! so… where's the dog?
Lee looks at the dog house and there is a grave near it.
Randy: Do you think?
Lee: Yeah...
Lee finds a shovel and he begins to dig up the grave
Omid: Hey, be careful. Digging up dead things isn't what it used to be, know what I mean?
Lee: Yeah, I hear you
As Lee digs up. Clementine walks by.
Clementine: What's buried down there?
Randy: It's nothing, Clementine. Can you go over and sit with Omid and Christa, okay?
Clementine: But I want to-
Randy: Just sit with them, please Clem?
Clementine: Okay.
Clementine walks away. Lee finishes and reveals a decomposing dog...
Ben: Oh God, the smell.
Bucky: Ugh… I think I'm gonna be sick.
Douglas(rc9gn): Me too.
Lee tries to take the collar off the dead dog, but can't get it
Lee: Ugh… I can't get it off.
Until the dog's head suddenly falls off its body, disgusting the group.
Howard: That's gross!
Carley: Jesus!
Doug(twdg): Ugk!
Ben: Okay, that is NOT cool.
Theresa: Oh yuck...
Debbie: Gross.
Suddenly, Christa vomits at the sight of its head falling off.
Clementine: Are you okay?
Christa: I'm fine, honey. It's just the smell.
Omid: Are you sure you-
Christa: I said I'm fine, okay?
Lee takes the collar to the pet door
Lee: Here goes nothing…
Lee uses it and the pet door opens.
Kenny: Yes! Goddamn!
Randy looks through the pet door
Ben: You see anything in there?
Randy: No. Looks like it's been empty for a while.
Christa: Whatever you're going to do, do it fast…
Lee: Okay, lemme see if I can reach up in there…
Ben: Be careful, man...
Lee tries to reach the door knot inside the house but he can't reach it.
Lee: Uugh… it's no good, I can't get it.
Ben: Here, let me try. I think I can-
Without a warning, Clementine crawls through the pet door, scaring everybody.
Lee: Clem!
Randy: Clem! What do you see in there?
Clementine opens the door.
Clementine: Ta-da!
Randy: Good job, Clem!
Ben: Yeah, way to go.
Lee: Yeah, good job sweet-pea, but please don't do that ever again.
Clementine: Okay, sorry. I did good, right?
Lee: Yes you did. You did well.
Omid: Can we maybe have this conversation inside? My leg's starting to hurt like hell.
Kenny checks inside the house.
Kenny: Looks okay from here, everybody in.
The group enters the house. The place looks deserted. Christa helps Omid rest on the couch.
Omid: Argh!
Christa: Sorry! Sorry!
Omid: No, It's okay. I'm good. Feel better already just being off my feet. Thanks, babe.
Christa nods at him. She walks over to The Group.
Christa: So, when were you guys going to tell us?
Kenny: Tell you what?
Christa: That there is a woman on the radio.
Debbie: I agree with Christa! How can you didn't tell us about it?
Carley: Yeah, I never thought that walkie-talkie started working again.
Randy: Fine, I'll tell you. Lee, Kenny, Howard and I only found out yesterday.
Debbie: So you guys were keeping it from the rest of us? Great.
Carley: Yeah and who's that woman in that radio?
Lee: I don't know but she sounded like trouble and she said she wanted to see Clementine and she had her parents in Savannah.
Debbie: She sounded like a creepy pedophile.
Kenny: Who gives a shit about that woman? I'm more worried about whoever it was out there ringing that bell and bringing the dead down on top of us! It's like they didn't want us to make it to the river!
Christa: Maybe it could of been that woman. After all, she could of been in the tower and talking with us through the radio.
Kenny: But that doesn't make a lick of damn sense! Why would she bring the dead like that and try to warn us?
Theresa: Maybe that woman is trying to play with us?
Lee: Well, whatever she is planning it can't be good. We will deal with her later but now we have to check this house and find whatever we can. Food, medicine, weapons anything.
Carley: You got it.
Doug(twdg): Sounds easy.
Kenny: Alright fine. Me, Ben, and Douglas(rc9gn) are going to take the upstairs. Lee, Randy, Howard, you guys got down here. Make sure you guys check every door.
Clementine: Can I help? What if there's another locked door?
Howard: I think I've been helpful enough for one day. I want to take a nap.
Lee and Randy roll their eyes at Howard's replied
Randy: Clementine, Why don't you just see if Christa and Omid need anything, okay?
Clementine: I'm just trying to help.
Randy: We know but you did everything you could so let us handle the rest, okay?
Clementine: Okay.
Lee checks the door next to the fireplace. He opens the door and there is nothing.
Lee: Nothing here.
Randy checks a door. There is nothing in the room.
Randy: Nothing here too.
Lee: Well, just one more to check.
Lee checks the last door and... A mop falls on the floor.
Lee: Woah!
Randy: What's going on there?
Lee: It's nothing. Just…nothing.
Lee and Randy walk over to Christa, Omid, and Clementine.
Lee: Well, this place ain't got much. We should be okay here for a while, at least until it quiets down outside.
Christa: Good, Thanks.
Randy: Is Omid okay?
Christa: Yeah, for now. But I'm really worried his leg might've gotten infected. Don't suppose you three turned up any meds while you guys were poking around?
Randy: Nah, just some dog food.
Christa nods.
Christa: I was just asking Clementine if she knows about that woman on her radio. It's okay, honey, you can tell us. What does she want?
Randy: Go ahead, Clem. It's okay. You're not in any trouble.
Clementine: She's just a friend. I don't think she wants to hurt us.
Christa: What has she been saying to you? What you have been saying to her?
Clementine: I told her I was trying to find my parents and that they were in Savannah. She really seems nice and kinda creepy, I think she wants to help me find them.
Randy: Clementine, that woman-
Douglas(rc9gn): LEE!
Douglas(rc9gn) came upstairs.
Douglas(rc9gn): You need to get up here now.
Lee: What's wrong?
Douglas(rc9gn): It's Kenny.
