The Walking Dead: Vatos (Season 1 - Episode 4)
Police officer Rick Grimes leads a group of survivors in a world overrun by zombies.
Vatos
In the opening segment, sisters Andrea and Amy are fishing in a boat. They discuss their childhoods—the two were twelve years apart—and express hope that maybe Florida, where their parents live, was not hit as hard by the epidemic. Back at the camp, Dale is keeping watch on top of his RV, and notices Jim in the distance, digging large holes on a hill.
The episode opens with Rick Grimes, Daryl Dixon, Glenn, and T-Dog on the roof of the department store where they had left Merle Dixon handcuffed to a pipe. They found only Merle's severed hand and a blood trail. Daryl retrieves his brother's hand and turns his crossbow on T-Dog, but Rick puts his revolver to Daryl's head and bloodshed is averted. They track Merle's trail through the building, finding two walkers that he had dispatched single-handedly and a gas stove where he had cauterized the stump of his hand. Back at the camp, Shane and the others confront Jim about his obsessive digging; Shane is forced to restrain Jim. While lying in the dirt, Jim breaks down and reveals that his family had been attacked by a band of walkers, and the only reason he was alive was that the walkers were too busy eating his wife and two children to chase him. In the camp, Glenn comes up with a plan to retrieve the bag of guns—he will retrieve the bag while Daryl waits for him in one alley, and Rick and T-Dog wait in another alley in case he has to flee in another direction.
While Glenn is getting the bag, Daryl is approached by a young living Latino man, who calls repeatedly for help. As Glenn returns with the guns, two other Latino men appear and attack Daryl. Rick and T-Dog return, and the men grab Glenn and flee into a waiting car, leaving the first man behind. The group begins to interrogate their hostage. Daryl retrieves his brothers severed hand and throws onto the young Latino's lap and tell him this is what they do to people. The young man's will breaks and they learn that the Latino men were after the same bag of guns. They go to meet the men for a prisoner exchange, but are rebuffed—the group's leader, Guillermo, tells them to come back either ready to hand over the guns, or locked and loaded for a fight.
They return, armed and ready, but a shootout is averted when an elderly woman emerges looking for her grandson, Felipe. It turns out that the men are guarding a hidden nursing home, its elderly residents having been abandoned by most of the staff except for Felipe and Guillermo. Rick leaves some of the guns and ammunition, and then his group heads back for camp. When they reach the location where they left their vehicle, they find it gone and conclude that it must have been stolen by Merle, who may be planning vengeance against the camp. Meanwhile at camp, everybody is getting ready for dinner. Carol and Sophia are at their tent where Ed is brutally bruised up. Carol asks Ed if he wants to come join the group for some fish, but he refuses. Ed then asks Sophia if she could keep him company, but Carol says "she wants to join the group" and they walk away. Later, their dinner gets interrupted when a horde of walkers invade the campsite. Several of the survivors are bitten and severely wounded, including Ed and Amy. Rick quickly fends off the campsite, and kills the remaining walkers. In the aftermath, Amy dies in Andrea's arms as she sobs away while everybody watches in terror. Jim then remembers what his dream was about and why he was digging the holes.
