Untold amounts of walkers appear from seemingly nowhere and
the group gets surrounded. For no logical reason CLEM and BEN get

CLEM
Can't I at least hold the walkie-talkie? You
haven't even asked me who the guy I
was talking to is or explained why
he is dangerous.
LEE
I said no. We're not following
that plot until the final episode.
CLEM
Okay.
CHRISTA
Remember me and Omid? We had the
distrust for total strangers last
episode? Now we're following you and
want your permission to rest.
KENNY
Since I only care for or disregard
other people's lives when it
creates tension, I'm going to say
no. We move to the boat.

LEE
I'm going to attract attention to the group by screaming at that
mysterious figure I just saw.
BEN
I'm going to be as annoying as
possible this episode so I'll start by
questioning if you saw anything for no apparent reason.

CHUCK sees some zombies while everybody is ignoring the fact

CHUCK
I'm a drunk homeless man but I'm
going to say an archaic quote to
draw people's attention instead of
something like "Run! Walkers are
coming."
LEE
I got you, Chuck. Run everybody!

saves CLEM.
CHUCK
Go on ahead! I'll hold them off. Don't worry about me. I'll be fine.
LEE
I just met you last episode and you were kind of a dick with the whole "she's going to die" thing so yeah...
CHUCK
Don't try to save me.

LEE ignores the minor character and runs away. The group
finds a house and after an easy puzzle LEE unlocks the doggie
door. CLEM goes through it and opens the door.
CLEM
Ta da! I was frightened of walkers
finding us in the backyard but I
suddenly had no fear when running into
a dark house alone were I might be trapped with one. By the way, I'm
going to be pretty much doing
whatever I want all episode to
setup the plot for the next. But
I'll do useful things so you don't
get too annoyed until then.
LEE
Don't ever risk your life again!
CLEM
You hurt my feelings. I hope you feel guilty for acting like a responsible adult.
CHRISTA
I'm judging you for being so harsh on her
even though the last episode I
judged you for putting her in
danger.

Screenwriting format.
Obscure? The only thing less obscure than that quote is Mary Had A Little Lamb.
Lee, you've only known me for 12
hours, and I've been pretty judgey,
so for some reason I can't
understand why you kept from me
that the walkie talkie works.
LEE
Why are you here?
KENNY
Forget the walkie talkie. We need
to find a boat! Even Chuck the
hobo knows there's probably none
left but it's the only way to create tension right now.
CHRISTA
Yeah. We'll give you the exact same
choice you just made. Let Omid rest
or find the boat, not that it
serves any purpose other than pissing
me or Kenny off.
Let's check this place. Lee, you
take downstairs. Ben and I will
check upstairs to set up the next
scene.
LEE
Alright.
LEE finds nothing then talks to CLEM.
What did that guy on the
walkie talkie say to you? I heard it for
myself on the train but we don't
want this episode to feel like a
filler so we'll pretend we're
moving the plot forward.
CLEM
He said he had my parents and to
find him. Exactly what you heard.
LEE
This is important. What did you say
to him? We need to know before
someone interrupts and we are left
with no new information.
CLEM is silent and then BEN comes downstairs.
Interrupting on que. Lee, Kenny
isn't coming out of the attic. He's
not in danger but for some vague reason
it's really, really important you
check on him this instant.
LEE
Clem, Kenny being emo is more
important than hearing about this
crazy stalker and explaining why
you should fear him. Sorry.
LEE goes upstairs and pretends to be shocked to find a
half-naked walker boy.
Looks like Duck, doesn't it? If he
was half-naked and starved to death
and had a huge head.
LEE
Seriously? I was called up here for
this?
KENNY
I don't think I can kill him, Lee.
Decision time.
LEE decides if he or KENNY should kill the walker. It
doesn't matter. It gets killed.
I'll bury him. It will help build
an emotional moment when I think
about Clem dying.
LEE burys the boy in the backyard while CLEM watches with
puppy dog eyes. LEE is sad. When he's done, he notices a
shadowy figure he can't see in broad daylight. The figure
runs away.
Hey...! I'm not sure what yelling
will do besides attract walkers,
but I'm yelling!
The whole groups comes out at once like they were all standing by the door.
What's wrong?
LEE
Some creepy stalker guy was there.
KENNY
This seems really important but
let's go find a boat and completely
ignore this until the end of the
episode.
LEE
Clem, I'm going to let Ben watch
you because he's sure to screw up
and we're trying to build animosity
towards him for a big decision
towards the end of the episode.
LEE and KENNY leave to go find a boat.
Please go on ^^
I love this game but I cant help to notice some flaws in the characters here and then.
Especially Kenny is completely unpredictable ("I will care or not care for others depending on what creates tension atm" EXACTLY ^^).
Also I noticed this in Episode 3, when Lilly is angry for shooting the girl in the street or for Kenny wanting you to shoot her depending on your playthrough, even though this makes or would make you gather more food for the group - In the beginning of episode 2 she wants you to leave a helpless teacher and his only two surviving highschool pupils as food for the walkers, because otherwise they would cost the group food. And they even were alive and not bitten like the girl in the street.
Very coherent.
On another note: Am I the only one to notice that during the whole episode 4 no-one eats or drinks, ever? Since they left the motor inn suddenly all food concerns are gone.
KENNY is in a pissy mood and making things awkward.
Suddenly a bells rings in the distance. KENNY pulls out his
gun and points it at nothing. They hide in a doorway while a
street they just walked down is suddenly filled with a
parade of walkers. After the parade passes, they move
forward and KENNY sees nothing at the dock besides a broken
boat.
There was likely no chance there
would be any boats but I'm so
surprised and upset to find that
true!
LEE
What is this? I don't even...
KENNY
I'll try to fix that boat that's
half-way under water and
obviously unfixable while you look
for other boats.
LEE
It's getting harder to tell if
you're crazy or just really playing
up the stupid angry redneck
stereotype.
LEE goes Hulk and easily destroys a newspaper machine to get
a quater for the telescope. He walks to the telescope and notices a pile of
walkers and a huge sign that says STAY OUT.
KENNY walks over after finally realizing he couldn't fix
the boat and notices the pile of walkers also. After briefly
acknowledging it they both ignore it and Lee scans the water
and predictably sees nothing. Then he sees a ninja climbing
down a building.
So there is a urban ninja looking
person scaling down a four story
building. They're really stretching
the ability to suspend disbelief
this episode. Quick, hide!
LEE and KENNY hide.
Maybe it's the fucker that's been
on the walkie talkie. I'm basing
that on the fact they are a person
not in our group. Let's ambush him!
LEE
Do I really have a choice?
KENNY moves to alley with the gun so LEE is forced into
dangerous hand-to-hand combat. LEE and the ninja fight. CLEM
appears just in time to stop any real harm.
(Being as cute as
possible)
No! You wouldn't be violent if I'm
watching, would you?
They stop fighting and look at CLEM being as cute as
possible.
Clem, I'm going to completely
ignore that you followed me and
Kenny even though it raises so many
questions.
MOLLY
(removes mask and does cute pose)
You aren't from Crawford.
KENNY sneaks up from behind way too late and apparently
hasn't been watching at all. He tries to attack MOLLY and
she goes all ninja on him.
No, he's with us!
MOLLY
Not that should mean anything to me
but I'll stop.
LEE
Who are you?
MOLLY
Where do I start? I'm so many
Hollywood tropes rolled into one,
but I'm primarily an Action Girl.
I can kick ass and look cute
effortlessly. I'm also edgy to
hide a traumatic past experience.
You'll see later.
I'm Lee. This is Kenny and Clem.
CLEM
(waves)
Hi! I'm cute and constantly putting
myself in danger.
LEE
Please, explain what Crawford is so
we have context for this episode.
MOLLY explains everything.
Now that we're starting to build trust
can you confirms you have been ringing
those bells?
MOLLY
Yes, that silhouette that exactly matched
my figure on the Church was me.
KENNY points at her angrily.
You're probably the WOMAN that's
the MAN that's been fucking with us
on the radio!
MOLLY
Hey old man, didn't I just explain
I'm the edgy action girl? You
better get that finger out of my
face!
LEE
Yup, Kenny, you're definitely playing up
the angry dumb redneck stereotype.
Well, I've given context to
the story and began establishing
trust to build a relationship so it's
probably time for something to get
the plot moving again.
Walkers appear.
Yup.
They all run into an alley. MOLLY gets to show her
incredible action girl bad-assery and is about to leave them
when CLEM acts cute and MOLLY decides to save them all.
After trying ONE TIME to follow them, LEE gives up
and finds himself trapped and forced to go into a sewer.
I also like how Kenny moves to the corner of that alley
1) straight on which would probably put him inside the peripheral vision of any person given how close that corner is to ninja's position and
2) so fast that he couldn't be that quiet
yet somehow he goes completely unnoticed while LEE who approached from behind and slowly/cautiously was made by the ninja. like wtf
Excellent thread Red Panda
Best part! lol
Also, so Lee's in sewer... What happens next!?:eek:
Can't wait for next part!
LEE wanders around fucking SEWERS looking for a way out.
First a ninja and now I'm wandering
around in sewers. The only way this
could be more ridiculous is if I
found a secret lair.
LEE continues wandering and finds some walkers, completes a
puzzle to distract them, and sees the body they were eating
is CHUCK!
This is the least likely place I'd
expect to find you or anybody.
Seriously, what are the chances? I
guess now the player will have
closure on the hobo's departure.
It looks like you had a terrible death
and for that nobody in the group
will ever mention your demise and
we'll act like you never existed after
you gave your life to save
everyone. And I'm taking your gun.
Yeah, you died for some assholes.
LEE approaches a walker blocking the path out of the sewer
when another walker reaches out from the ground and grabs
his leg.
Really? What the fuck. What is
under a sewer? Another sewer? How
the hell did it even get in there?
LEE frees himself and kills the walker blocking his path. He
attempts to escape and discovers an underground lair.
(British accent)
I thought an underground lair would
be cool. The game is so dark I
thought the players would enjoy
something absurdly unrealistic.
LEE is stunned silent.
INT - UNDERGROUND LAIR!
LEE enters the underground lair and finds months worth of
food. He hasn't eaten in a long time but doesn't try to eat
or take any food.
Danger is around every corner but he opens a door leading
into the next room without any forethought and finds a group
of survivors. Everybody looks at each other shocked.
Hello... This is awkward.
VERNON pulls a gun on LEE. Despite months of seeing the
worse possible things VERNON is still squeamish at the thought
of death.
I don't want any trouble. I just
need a doctor and someone that
knows the city for the rest of the
story. I'm pretty sure it's one of
you.
VERNON
Are you from Crawford? I lived in
Crawford and so have all the people
I'm with. We don't recognize you
and it's weird you'd be travling
alone but we suspect you.
BRIE
He's from Crawford! Kill him!
LEE
The Crawford thing again? I'm not
from Crawford.
BRIE
Kill him! He's from Crawford.
LEE
...
VERNON
I'm sorry, we need to create
tension so I'm going to threaten to
kill you now.
LEE
You're not going to kill me. I know
a killer when I see one. I don't
see it in your eyes. Plus your
hands are shaking and you look
scared. Listen to my soothing Hulu
guy voice while I, a stranger you
think is dangerous, take the gun
right out of your hand.
LEE takes the gun from VERNON.
I'm not going to hurt you.
VERNON
You're really not from Crawford?
Let me explain my entire back
story.
He explains the back story.
Also, I'm a doctor and I know how
to get you back home safely.
Everything you need right now!
LEE
That's convenient. Let's go.
VERNON
I can't say yes that easy. I need
to create some tension.
BRIE
You shouldn't help him. Let him
die!
LEE
Do you ever shut up?
BRIE
No. I need to annoy you so
the player won't care when
I die a violent death later.
LEE
Vernon, I need your help. Do it
because of Clem. Or because I'll
kill everybody.
VERNON
I was ready to kill you moments ago
but now I'll risk my life by
venturing out in the city full of
walkers to help you.
LEE
Don't worry. We'll just use a cut
scene to avoid the walkers that
chased me in here and any other
dangers.
INT - RANDOM HOUSE
I'm so glad the palyer got closure on chuck. He/She/It has really been wondering about him;):p but cool story update...THO you are closer to 25ish mins now:)
@bdawgnit
Whaa whaaa qq 'tho' 'tho'
U mad? U mad.
what now....I'm unable to translate...must be troll!
and no internet never makes me mad;) but thanks for checking up on me....you are too kind :rolleyes:
*crossing fingers for more*
pretty funny stuff
really ?
wow just wow..
Who's this?
MOLLY
He didn't tell you? I'm the sassy
action girl. I saved him and I have
attitude which is often just me
being incredibly rude! Who's the
fossil?
LEE
This is Molly. This is Vernon. Now
that you two have met we can start
the second act.
CHRISTA comes running into the KITCHEN for dramatic effect.
Lee! Thank God you're here! Omid
has become worse. You don't have
any medical training so I don't
know why I'm coming to you but Omid
needs your help!
LEE
Vernon is a doctor! ...I found in
an underground lair. In the sewer.
Where he was going to kill me.
Will you help, Vernon?
VERNON
(pause)
It's what I was written for.
LEE goes to look for CLEM.
INT. RANDOM HOUSE - LIVING ROOM
LEE finds KENNY getting drunk and BEN looking like an
asshole.
I'm looking for Clem but I'm going
to take a moment to be upset by you
being drunk, Kenny, because my
priorites are fucked up.
KENNY
We're hold up in a fortified house
and have nothing else to do. Plus,
my family just died violently hours
ago. What does it even matter?
LEE
I don't know but I'm upset. Ben,
have you seen Clem?
BEN
You put me in charge of watching
her but don't put it all on me
she's missing. That said, I think
she's in the backyard where walkers
and strangers can find her. She's
fine.
LEE
You are just really working this
hate thing, aren't you.
BEN
Yeah.
EXT. RANDOM HOUSE - BACKYARD
LEE looks around at some shit and then starts opening the
shed when CLEM bust through the doors and shoulder charges
Lee's dick
(hugs Lee)
Lee!
LEE
You're really turning into Carl Grimes
this episode but I'll ignore your
reckless, disobient behavior and
ask what you were doing.
CLEM
I was foreshadowing my disaperence
later in the episode when I found a
boat.
LEE
Damn, you're adorable.
CLEM
Swear.
KENNY comes out to look at the boat. He drops the bottle of
Whiskey he's been drinking and smiles at the boat in an
awkwardly sexual way.
INT. RANDOM HOUSE - LIVING ROOM
The group comes together to establish their motivations for
going to the most dangerous place in the city.
My people need medicine and I know
the layout.
CHRISTA
Omid needs medicine.
KENNY
The boat needs a battery and fuel
for the haphazard boat plan.
MOLLY
I want to escape on the boat I just
learned about with people I just
met.
BEN
You know how I've been building up
the hate all episode, foreshadowing
my possible death? Yeah, I actually
don't want to go. It's kind of a
suicide mission.
KENNY
Kid, waiting around here is
suicide.
BEN
No, I'm pretty sure this is safer
for me.
LEE
Do I have a choice?
CLEM
After thinking about what Carl
Grimes would do, I want to go!
LEE
Clem, do you remember what happened
when another little kid was around
dangerous people with guns and
walkers? You were there for that.
CLEM
I've seen so much death but
inexplicably have no sense of my
own mortality. And because of my
reckless behavior this episode you
feel more compelled to take me on
this incredibly dangerous, totally
inappropriate mission for an 8 year
old to be on. Unless you want me to
run off again, or be kidnapped, or
be left with a man half dead. Feel
guilty or worried yet?
LEE
Fuck.
CLEM
Swear.
No one mentioned that maybe taking Clem was a bad idea, not because it was dangerous, but because if anyone in Crawford looked in her general direction, they would definitely realize that the kid wasn't one of the regulars.
Also strange was that no one mentioned that maybe stealing stuff was wrong or would put Crawford in danger. Everyone decided to become a bandit/raider at the same time without questioning it. Molly and Vernon I could understand, since they had history with Crawford, but everyone else was just taking their word at face value that Crawford were scum.
