Police officer Rick Grimes leads a group of survivors in a world overrun by zombies.
Days Gone Bye
Sheriff's deputy Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and partner Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal) are called to a high speed pursuit, where they face two armed men. The two men are shot, after which a third emerges from the vehicle and shoots Rick in the chest, leaving him severely wounded. After remaining in a coma for an undisclosed amount of time, Rick regains consciousness in an abandoned hospital. He investigates the building and encounters his first undead—a group of zombies barred into a locked room—as well as rows of bodies in body bags. In a nearby park he encounters a severely deteriorated zombie with nothing left of her lower body but trailing bones and organs. Shaken, he returns to his home to look for his family. Unable to find any sign of them, he sits outside and is suddenly hit in the head with a shovel by a young man—Duane Jones (Adrian Kali Turner)—who initially mistakes him for a zombie.
Rick later wakes up tied to a bed. The young man's father, Morgan (Lennie James), checks Rick for zombie bites or fever, either of which could indicate he is turning into a zombie himself. After deciding Rick is not a threat, Morgan frees him and shares what information he has regarding the zombie apocalypse. The following day, Rick tells Morgan that his family are missing and that they are most likely alive (based on family photos that had been taken from the house). Morgan and Duane tell Rick that they might have set off to Atlanta, where the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has set up a quarantine zone. Rick takes Morgan and his son to his former Sheriff's headquarters, where the trio use the emergency generator to power up the station. They take hot showers and clean out the armory. As they depart, with Rick heading off to Atlanta while Morgan and Dwayne stay behind, Rick gives Morgan a rifle and a walkie-talkie and says he will broadcast every morning. Before he leaves Rick finds fellow police officer Leon Basset (Linds Edwards)—now a zombie—and dispatches him. Morgan goes to the top floor of his house, where he looks through old family photos before shooting several zombies. As he hoped, the noise attracts more walkers, including his dead wife, but Morgan is unable to shoot her and breaks down into tears. Rick returns to the park where he encountered the badly decayed zombie, apologizes to it, and shoots it in the head.
While on his way to Atlanta, Rick sends out a broadcast via his radio. The transmissions are received by a camp located just outside the city, but they are unable to send a response to warn him of the situation in the city. Among the survivors are Rick's partner Shane, his wife Lori (Sarah Wayne Callies), and Carl (Chandler Riggs). Rick later runs out of gasoline; he approaches an abandoned gas station, where he encounters (and shoots) a preadolescent female zombie. Unable to find any gas, he abandons his car on the highway and heads out on foot. He approaches a farmhouse, where the occupants are dead in an apparent murder-suicide. Rick finds a horse nearby and rides it to Atlanta, carrying a sack of guns from the police armory.
Rick arrives in Atlanta and finds the city in an extreme state of devastation. He then searches the streets on horseback, finding an overrun military blockade. Rick hears a helicopter pass overhead and tries to follow it, but rides straight into a horde of walkers. The undead swarm Rick's horse, toppling Rick and making him drop the sack of guns. While many of the zombies swarm around the horse, tearing it apart and eating it, Rick scrambles underneath an abandoned tank. With zombies crawling after him on both sides, Rick shoots several of them, then places the gun to his temple. Looking up, he sees an open hatch underneath the tank and crawls inside. The walkers surround the tank as Rick seals himself inside. After firing his revolver into the head of an undead tank crewman; therefore deafening him due to the confines of the M60 tank and then sealing the top hatch, Rick is safe—but trapped—in the tank. A voice comes over the radio sarcastically asking if he is cozy inside. The episode ends with a view of a mass of zombies swarming around the tank and the fallen horse.
