Recap

Maggie is across the river from Manhattan, using a binocular to look over at the skyline.

A group of walkers attack her and she fights them off.

Maggie pulls up at a bar and finds herself asking about someone to help with walkers in her town.

She goes to the bathroom but sneaks out to go to the rooms in the motel and finds Negan.

Before she gets a chance to speak to him, she's grabbed back into the bar. She fights off the group and rushes after Negan.

She gets in her car and stops him in his tracks. He's with a young girl named Ginny.

Maggie tells him that someone from his past, the Croat, kidnapped Hershel.

Negan wonders how he fits into this and she asks him to help her. She says that the Hilltop will take in Ginny if he does, and possibly, him.

They go to find the Hilltop and get Ginny settled but it's not the same place. Negan is curious. Maggie blames him, saying that he set it on fire.

Perlie arrives in the bar and asks about Maggie and Negan and no one tells him anything. He's there because Negan killed a marshal. Perlie kills the woman who owns the bar because she lies to him.

Maggie and Negan kidnap a junior marshal and get on the boat to NYC. They find themselves being chased.

When they arrive, the zombies are gone, and they're surprised.

Walkers start falling from the sky, forcing them to hide out in front of a store. However, the zombies from inside push forward.

They wind up in a street, hiding from a horde behind bags, but cockroaches get them seen and they run into a building.

As they hide, Perlie walks in and threatens them. Perlie accidentally shoots his marshal and a struggle ensues.

Maggie almost kills Perlie but Negan stops her. The two are caught by a woman blowing their match out.

The Croat makes fun of Hershel and tells him he'll love NYC.

He then goes outside and kills someone running away.

The Walking Dead: Dead City Season 1 Episode 1 Quotes

Perlie: My name is Perlie: Armstrong. I don't drink. I don't smoke. I like a good hog stew. Just want to give you a sense of what kind of people I am. I'm not your enemy. I come from New Babylon. Capital city. It's more of a small town, tree-lined streets, families looking out for each other. I got a wife and three daughters. They're my everything. Now, I don't know why you with that man I'm looking for. Or why you've taken one of our marshals hostage. But I'm guessing you got your reasons. Heck, might even be a good one. I'm open to hearing it. And I mean that sincerely. But if I get to you first, I'm going to be a little less open, and I will get to you.

Negan: I hate to even ask, but how do I figure into this, Maggie?
Maggie: The man who's got Hershel, they call him the Croat. Bullshit. You know him. When he scaled our walls, had us surrounded in the dark, right before he took my son. Do you know what he did? [ whistles one high tone, one low tone ] That rings a bell, doesn't it? It did for me. That's the last thing I heard before I met you.
Negan: Oh, that Croat. All right, so what you're thinking is, since I knew this guy back in the day when I was running the show, that maybe I had some special insight into his modus operandi. Or, hell, maybe I could just sweet-talk him into giving you your boy back. We're talking about the same Croat? Let's just say there were a lot of psychos in my crew back then. But he always stood out as being an exceptionally insane son of a bitch. So the odds are if it's the Croat that's got him... No. All right, tell me this. Why would I help you? Maggie: Because you owe me...
Negan: Because I owe you, right.
Maggie: You're the last person that I wanted to ask for help. It doesn't look like you got too many options yourself. Because if I found you here, the marshals will too. Far as I can tell, you have exhausted every shithole.
Negan: Still got a decent setup at Hilltop? Kids? School?
Maggie: I'll put up that girl. You, we see how things play out.
