Lucas Black/Season 10

This is a collection of scenes involving Lucas Black in the tenth season of The Walking Dead. Please do not edit without User:DAKINGINDANORF’s permission.

Scene 1
[Lucas appears in Alexandria, helping Rosita train. She uses wraps around her hands to punch, Lucas counters almost all of them until she eventually hits him in the mouse. Lucas chuckles, seemingly proud of her. The scene cuts between the different periods of time, Lucas’ absence is made obvious despite him being the father of Rosita’s child, Coco. Eugene takes care of the baby more than Lucas or Gabriel. Soon, Lucas isn’t training with Rosita any longer, and Rosita is instead using a punching bag to train.]

[Scene cuts to Eugene looking over the analytical charts that he’s set up. Lucas is standing there, slightly amused but he knows how Eugene is, this is nothing new from him.]

Eugene: Five minutes and sixteen seconds. Not more, not less.

Lucas: [chuckles lightly] What if I bumped it up to five minutes and eighteen seconds?

Eugene: [slightly annoyed] I have rigged the kitchen timer to go off at precisely 5 and 16 so such a scenario will not come to pass. Furthermore, I’ve taken the liberty of chartin’ her feedings and diaper changes. She is very regular. Congratulations.

[Rosita enters the room.]

Rosita: Eugene. [Eugene turns around as does Lucas.] She’s a baby, not a science experiment. You can’t boil people down to charts and graphs.

[Lucas smirks, then pats Eugene on the shoulder.]

Lucas: But you sure as hell can try. I’ll take it. [clicks tongue] I’m gonna be honest with you, pal, I probably won’t be using well, any of it — but I appreciate the gesture. [he pats his shoulder]

Rosita: You know since everyone got those damn radio setups, Eugene, this one’s been doing nothing but talking [she nods over to Gabriel] You gotta move that thing outta the house.

[Gabriel is silent. He has a concerned expression on his face. Lucas raises his eyebrow.]

Lucas: Gabe. What’s wrong?

[Lucas, Gabriel, Eugene, and Rosita meet with several other members of Alexandria off-screen to discuss what was talked about over the radio. They later leave the meeting room and Negan is near them, picking tomatoes.]

Negan: [to Gabe] Hey, boss.

[He is met with glares from nearly everyone on. Lucas shakes his head, and rolls his eyes — but doesn’t say anything.]

[Scene cuts to Lucas laying down Coco in her crib inside the house. Lucas kisses her head.]

Lucas: Yeah, that’s better, huh, sweetheart?

[Lucas spins the paper airplane mobile which mildly entertains Coco.]

Lucas: Crazy, yeah? [chuckles] I’ll be right back, sweetie. [Lucas walks into the bathroom and looks at his facial hair. He feels his scruff and sighs.]

[Lucas hears footsteps all of a sudden and turns around and Dwayne — his brother-in-law, who was killed back in “The Cell” appears right in front of him. He is wearing the same clothing he was the day he died, but looks alive. Lucas looks at him for a moment and then sighs heavily.]

Lucas: What the hell are you doing here?

Dwayne: I come and go, you know that. Your daughter is beautiful. Got that new baby smell. [laughs, Lucas is not amused.]

Dwayne: What? You’re not happy to see me?

Lucas: You’re dead, Dwayne. Of course I’m not happy to see you. Every single moment I’m looking at your goddamn face is another moment I’m realizing I’m fucking insane.

[Lucas walks around the house, but Dwayne follows.]

Dwayne: It’s been months, I’m surprised you haven’t asked me why I’m here. Or why I continue to be here. You’ve been doing good, don’t you think? You seem.... better. Compared to the place you were in a while ago.

Lucas: Obviously not.

Dwayne: But it’s been a few weeks. You’ve made progress.

Lucas: Oh, so you’re my therapist now? Last time you were screaming at me. Tell me, why are you here? What do you want?

Dwayne: Don’t you think you should ask yourself that question?

Lucas: You always were an annoying vague asshole, and when you died and starting showing up eight years after your death, you’re really doubling down on that.

Dwayne: What’s going on with you, that causes you to see me? What about your little plan? Maybe you need my help.

[Lucas laughs]

Lucas: You’re going to help with that? Really?

Dwayne: Could give you advice.

Lucas: Advice? What are you talking about? You’re just a figment of my imagination. You can’t help me. No one can help me.

Dwayne: I’m sure Rosita would love to help. If you talked to her.

Lucas: Rosita’s got better things to do. Anyone does.

Dwayne: One of these days, you’re gonna have to admit you need help.

Lucas: Well, I don’t need the thing that’s making me “need” help to tell me that I need help. Now fuck off, I’ve got to look after my daughter.

Dwayne: Okay, fine, but one more thing.

Lucas: [annoyed] What?

Dwayne: Someone’s at the door. [Lucas hears a knock after Dwayne says that.]

Lucas: How the hell did you know that?

[A big smile forms on Dwayne’s face. The scene cuts to Lucas opening the door, and Gus is there. A completely new character, he’s a bald-headed former Savior that moved to Alexandria. He has a scar over his left eye.]

Gus: We need to talk.

Lucas: The hell are you doing here? Huh? [Lucas shuts the door, and Dwayne is briefly seen behind the door until the view of him is shut by the door. Lucas grabs Gus by the shirt and slams him against the wall.] I told you to never, EVER — come to my home, you hear me?

Gus: Calm down. Take a breath.

Lucas: Don’t tell me to calm down. Whatever we need to talk about, it can wait.

Gus: There’s a guy — a contact of mine over in Oceanside. He says he can get us some guns from over there, a couple dozen handguns, two rifles. We—-

Lucas: Hold on, hold on. You’ve got a contact in Oceanside? Who?

Gus: He doesn’t want you to know his name — but he’s trustworthy.

Lucas: He doesn’t want me to know his name? If he’s going to be a part of this, I’m going to at least need to know his name.

Gus: Listen, he can smuggle the guns outside Oceanside, and get them to us.

Lucas: Why would we steal from Oceanside? And who the fuck is this guy that he can just do that without any problems? You know damn well how Oceanside’s stocked.

Gus: Trust me, Lucas. He’s an old friend of mine.

Lucas: Yeah? You and him are buddies, huh? You guys both sat back and watched as me and Daryl were tortured back at the Sanctuary. I’m really feeling how trustworthy he is right now.

Gus: Come on, man, you can’t hold a grudge against me for that. Not after all this time. What did you want me to do?

Lucas: Give me his name. I want to know who he is.

Gus: I can’t do that.

[Lucas grabs his knife and presses it against Gus’ neck. Gus groans, but doesn’t seem afraid.]

Lucas: Now, I know you’re a stupid piece of trash, but I wanna know how stupid. Clearly, you’re stupid enough to tell ME, one of Michonne’s highest security officers that you have some sneaky smuggler friend over at Oceanside, but are you stupid enough to die because you won’t tell me his goddamn name?

Gus: We have.... history. I don’t want him to—-

Lucas: I don’t care if you were biting the pillow back at the Sanctuary, I’m not going to have some random asshole stealing shit from Oceanside and I don’t even know his damn name.

Gus: If I tell you, what will you do?

Lucas: For starters, I’ll let you live. Sound good enough?

Gus: [groans] No. Not good enough. He is... my friend.

Lucas: You’re really gonna make me slit your throat on my front porch?

Gus: Think about what you’re doing...

Lucas: Oh, I’m definitely thinking about it. There’s another way. We’ll get weapons, but I’m not going to steal from our friends. You got that?

Gus: There’s no other ways to get guns. And Oceanside.... they have the most weapons.

Lucas: Figure something out.

Gus: Consider it, Lucas.

Lucas: Don’t tell me what to consider. We’re going to kill Alpha & Beta, but not like this. Branch out. Find some weapons, stash them in the cabin. Take some risks, yeah? [Lucas lets Gus go, he groans as he puts his hand on his neck]

Gus: What’s the issue? We get the guns, we kill them, we return them. What’s the problem?

Lucas: Guns go missing, questions start getting asked. And we don’t need to leave our people defenseless in case they run into anything out there. Alexandria, Hilltop, and Oceanside need all the guns they can carry.

Lucas: This plan is mine —- mine alone. I brought you in on it, and we’re going to do it my way — you got a problem with that, you can count yourself out.

Gus: If I’m going to branch out — find weapons elsewhere, you’re coming with me.

Lucas: Fine.

Gus: We could use more than just the two of us.

Lucas: Oh, am I going to meet your ‘contact’?

Gus: No. Not him. Someone else.

Lucas: Bring him to me.
