Lines by Carol Peletier 5

Carol Peletier

[praying] Father, forgive me. I don't deserve your mercy. I prayed for safe passage from Atlanta and you provided. I prayed for Ed to be punished for laying his hands on me and for looking at his own daughter with whatever sickness was growing in his soul. I prayed you'd put a stop to it, give me a chance to raise her right, help her not make my mistakes. She's so fearful. She's so young in her way. She hasn't had a chance. Praying for Ed's death was a sin. Please, don't let this be my punishment. Let her be safe, alive and safe. Please, lord. Punish me however you want, but show mercy on her.

Carol Peletier

I don't know if I believe in God anymore or heaven, but if I'm going to hell, I'm making damn sure I'm holding it off as long as I can.

Carol Peletier

[to Pete] I could kill you right now. I could. I will. And then who would believe I did it because I didn't like you? No one. They'd believe you tried to hurt me. Definitely believe that. Come at me. No? Yeah? No. The way this has played out, you have a chance. You're here. Your wife's there. You're a small, weak nothing. And with the world how it is, you're even weaker. Play your cards right, maybe you don't have to die. And I want my dish back clean when you're done.

Carol Peletier

[to Sam] Your dad used to hit you and then he got himself killed. It happened. Now it's done. You live with it or it eats you up. Go home.

Carol Peletier

You know, we'll see Sophia again in heaven some day. She's in a better place.

No, she's not. Heaven is just another lie, and if you believe it, you're an idiot.

We're all infected.

What?

At the C.D.C., Jenner told me. Whatever it is, we all carry it.

Carol Peletier

And you never said anything?

Would it have made a difference?

You knew this whole time?

How could I have known for sure? You saw how crazy that mo-

That is not your call. Okay, when I found about the Walkers in the barn, I told, for the good of everyone.

Well, I thought it best that people didn't know.

I'm not sitting here, waiting for another herd to blow through. We need to move, now.

No one is going anywhere.

Carol Peletier

Do something.

I am doing something! I'm keeping this group together. Alive! I've been doing that all along, no matter what; I didn't ask for this! I killed my best friend for you people, for Christ sake! You saw how he was like. How he pushed me, how he compromised us, how he threatened us. He staged the whole Randall thing, led me out to put a bullet in my back. He gave me no choice! He was my friend, but he came after me. My hands are clean. Maybe you people are better off without me. Go ahead. I say there's a place for us, but maybe... maybe it's just another pipe dream. Maybe... Maybe I'm fooling myself again. Why don't... why don't you go out and find out yourself. Send me a postcard! Go on, there's the door. You can do better. Let's see how far you get. No takers? Fine. But get one thing straight. You're staying, this isn't a democracy anymore.

Smells good.

Carol Peletier

Just so you know, I liked you first.

Stop. You know, Rick brought in a lot of them, too.

Carol Peletier

Not recently. Give the stranger sanctuary, keep people fed, you're gonna have to learn to live with the love.

Did you think it was right? Letting those kids come back with us?

Carol Peletier

I think it was the humane thing to do.

But did you think it was right?

Carol Peletier

Look at us. Digging through drawers, hoping that... a couple of cough drops and some disinfectant might be the difference between dying and living a couple of more hours. If they're strong enough to help us survive this thing, yeah, I think you made the right call.

And if they're not?

Carol Peletier

Let's hope they are.

Carol Peletier

Rick... I killed two people and you haven't said a word about it.

What do you want me to say?

Carol Peletier

It's not about what you say. It's about facing reality. It always comes for us and over and over again we face it so that we can live.

So that we can live.

Carol Peletier

That's right. That's what it always comes down to.

LSLizzie Samuels

Did you have kids?

Carol Peletier

I did. A kid. A daughter.

LSLizzie Samuels

What was she like?

Carol Peletier

She was sweet. She didn't have a mean bone in her body.

LSLizzie Samuels

Is that why she isn't here now?

MMary

The signs they were real. It was a sanctuary. People came and took this place.

Carol Peletier

Just tell me where--

MMary

- And they raped and they killed and they laughed over weeks. But we got out and we fought and we got it back. And we heard the message: you're the butcher or you're the cattle.
