(The Fall of the Governor: Part 2)
Description:
- Day 297
- Lilly keeps to herself. Austin convinces her to go and see the Governor's appearance that night because not only will everyone be there, but there's no telling what the man may say.
- At precisely 9:01 PM, the fifty-ish residents of Woodbury gather in the arena waiting for the Governor's long awaited return. Lilly and Austin sit on the front row by the far left of the stands. They worry about the baby and if Lilly's symptoms are normal and if when the time comes, Bob will be able to deliver it.
- At 9:05 PM, Rudy Warburton comes on stage and announces the Governor. Philip Blake walks into the field in silence, Rudy hands him a microphone. Everyone is unsettled by his missing arm. He apologises for his absence and announces that the arena fights will be up and running again soon; he tells them about the strangers who arrived at Woodbury a few weeks ago and goes on to mention how there was talk about merging their two camps and they took Martinez back with them to show him around. However some of them stayed behind and tortured him, mutilated him, and left him for dead.
- Lilly realises that he is manipulating the audience. Only one of them attacked him, the girl, right?
- The Governor tells the audience that they killed doctor Stevens. Lilly wonders how he knows that because he could have just been killed by biters. He tells the audience that he had feared for Martinez's life, and overnight something was left at Woodbury's main gate... He pulls out Martinez's severed head and shows it to the audience. Lilly feels disgusted and mortified at the manipulation. Austin comforts her as the Governor declares war on the prison group. Mothers turn their children away, men clench their fists, almost everyone cheers. Lilly and Austin get up and leave. The Governor asks anyone who has familiarity with the area to come and speak to him before dismissing the crowd.
