Lucas Black/Season 5

Scene 1
[Lucas' first appearance in THE WALKING DEAD. It is also Mickey's first appearance.]

[Noah gives Eugene a silenced pistol.]

EUGENE: Oh, no, thank you.

NICHOLAS: Just take it.

NOAH: Come on, you gotta protect yourself.

LUCAS: Hey, Mullet Man, you're gonna need it. Take the damn thing.

EUGENE: Not if I don't go.

AIDEN: We're not driving all that way so we can just drive back with the wrong shit.

EUGENE: It's a dozen of these. They are consistent in appearance across manufacturers. The shit will be right. I will install said shit. Then the grid will be fully operational again.

LUCAS: And, you'll come with us and find the shit.

MICKEY: You nervous, pal?

EUGENE: [confidently] Not in the slightest.

LUCAS: Then what's the issue? Come on.

[NOAH hands him the pistol.]

TARA: Heard you talking to Holly last night. What's her story?

NOAH: Why do you ask?

TARA: No reason.

NOAH: Mm-hmm..

TARA: It's an innocent question, don't make me hurt you.

GLENN: You're not riding with us?

LUCAS: Not a chance in hell. I've been afraid of vans ever since I was a kid.

GLENN: Why's that?

LUCAS: Some stranger told me there was an Atari in the back of his van... turns out he wasn't telling the truth.

GLENN: Oh, I--Uh...

LUCAS: Just messing with ya. [laughs] Nah, me and Mickey rarely go with Aiden and Nicky boy. This is just one of the few occasions where we do. Since we've got some new additions, we're tagging along as a separate unit. Plus, I don't want my ears to go through cardiac arrest with those terrible mixes that Aiden plays.

AIDEN: Oh, you know you love it.

LUCAS: No, I know YOU love it.

REG: You got everything?

AIDEN: First aid kits, yellow pages. Glenn made a checklist. We're good, I swear.

REG: I know. I'm just a worrier. That's how that wall wound up around us.

DEANNA: Love you.

AIDEN: Take care, Dad.

REG: I'm supposed to be saying that to you.

GLENN: That's everything?

LUCAS: Should be. Rock and roll, gentlemen. [Lucas and Mickey enter their own car.]

Scene 2
[Outside the warehouse, the supply run group are getting geared up.]

TARA: That's it there?

AIDEN: That's the warehouse.

LUCAS: There's seems to be some sort of storage unit a couple of miles ahead. Take a look. [He hands binoculars to MICKEY.]

MICKEY: Damn. You ever seen this before?

NICHOLAS: Yeah. We never could get to it before. Overrun.

LUCAS: Doesn't look overrun to me.

NICHOLAS: We've got to focus on the warehouse for now.

LUCAS: How about this, you and Aiden and our lovely new guests move into the warehouse, while me and Mickey head over there.

AIDEN: I don't know if we can spare two more bodies.

LUCAS: You've beat worse odds. You'll be fine.

NICHOLAS: Whatever.

LUCAS: Alright, Mickey. Let's get going. Glenn, Tara, Noah, Eugene, hopefully I got that right. Sayonara. Good luck to you. We'll be back in a flash.

[Lucas holsters his handgun, he also has a machete as a melee weapon. Mickey has a hunting rifle and a hammer as his weapons. They depart while the others continue in the warehouse.]

Scene 1
[Rick and Deanna are talking to each other about Pete abusing his wife, when Deanna's attention is turned towards the gate opening. Her and Rick go over to the gate.]

[Lucas and Mickey exit the car.]

MICKEY: What the hell is this? How come your son decided to leave us back there?

LUCAS: Mick, chill out, man.

DEANNA: What are you talking about?

MICKEY: Aid-

LUCAS: Enough, let me do the talking. [sighs] Me and Mickey went over to a small storage unit we saw a few miles away, we were searching for things until we heard an explosion, or at least it sounded like one. We came back and it was flooded with those things. We barely made it out alive. Is anyone back? What happened?

DEANNA: Aiden didn't survive the trip. One of the new arrivals was killed.

RICK: His name was Noah.

LUCAS: He one of yours?

RICK: Yeah.

LUCAS: I'm sorry to hear that. Seemed like a good kid.

RICK: Tara was hurt too. What did you see?

LUCAS: Like I said, as soon as they started to go inside the warehouse, we headed to the storage unit we found. Heard the explosion, saw the van was gone. How did Tara get hurt?

DEANNA: She hit her head, knocked her unconscious. I'm afraid I have to get back to work, Lucas.

[DEANNA departs.]

LUCAS: So, what are you, now? The city cop?

RICK: Something like that.

LUCAS: Hey, man, can I get in touch with your guy Glenn to find out what happened?

RICK: Why don't you ask your guy Nicholas?

LUCAS: Saint Nick? I'm afraid my bullshit detector goes off the damn charts whenever he runs his mouth.

RICK: You can find him where we're staying. Up the street, there. Or I'll find him and get him to talk to you.

LUCAS: It's cool, I'll head up there later. I need to clear my head first. Mick, how about you everything squared away?

MICKEY: Yeah, fine.

Scene 2
[LUCAS notices GLENN and NICHOLAS speaking to each other.]

NICHOLAS: Are you threatening me?

GLENN: No. I'm saving you.

LUCAS: Hey, is there a problem here, guys?

NICHOLAS: When'd you get back?

LUCAS: Just now.

NICHOLAS: Find anything useful?

LUCAS: I did. You mind telling me what happened over there, fellas?

[NICHOLAS and GLENN both stay silent.]

GLENN: Aiden and Noah died.

LUCAS: Yeah, I understood that part. I just wanna know what that explosion was.

GLENN: Aiden shot a grenade on accident. He flew back from the impact and got impaled. He wasn't making it out of there.

LUCAS: I see. Sorry to hear about your friend. Both him and Aiden are going to missed.

GLENN: Yeah. [He leaves.]

LUCAS: What the hell's going on with the two of you?

NICHOLAS: He's the reason Aiden's dead.

LUCAS: How's that? Sounds like Aiden got himself killed.

NICHOLAS: Shut up, asshole. You don't know what you're talking about.

LUCAS: I'm just trying to figure out the full story here, excuse me for being curious why I came back and there is roamers all over the goddamn place.

NICHOLAS: The new guys got Aiden killed. End of story.

LUCAS: Yeah. We'll see about that.
