It is also referenced in the beginning of the episode " A" when Rick teaches Carl how to catch a rabbit by directing it into a trap to get food, his lesson is similar to the whole chase sequences when the group is being directed by gunfire to possibly trap them and obtain a proper food source.ĭuring the gunfire chase, Rick, Daryl, Carl, and Michonne run into a memorial room full of candles, with names ages and possibly where they were from written on the floor with personal effects. As the group is running from gunfire, human remains could be spotted in a courtyard for a brief period, muffled cries for help can be heard from nearby railway containers, which raises even more questions, and finally the desire to keep humans captive may mean that they are keeping them as a food supply for basic survival. It is seen in the episode that Mary is always cooking an unknown meat product at all her appearances. Terminus is hinted to be the home of a cannibalistic cult. Members of this community are called "Terminants". They indicate the sanctuary has been in existing since the beginning of the apocalypse. The leaders of Terminus appear to be Mary and Gareth, Mary's son. It appears to be an abandoned railroad yard termination complex for maintenance of trains. Terminus appears physically for the first time in the episode " Us", as Abraham Ford, Bob, Eugene Porter, Glenn, Tara Chambler, Rosita Espinosa, Maggie, and Sasha finally reach it, where they are greeted by Mary, one of the residents who offers them a bite to eat and welcomes them to Terminus. Based on the railroad map marking out its location, its location seems to be Macon, Georgia, in Bibb County. Each railroad route intermittently has signs along it leading the way to Terminus. The maps show railway lines through different counties that lead to Terminus. Michonne, Rick Grimes, his son Carl, Maggie Greene, Bob, Sasha Williams, Glenn Rhee and the Claimers discover a similar sign attached to a railway freight carriage and a map. Those who arrive survive." -The phrase written on the sign that Tyreese, Carol Peletier, and Lizzie and Mika Samuels encounter while on the tracks It is soon interrupted by Daryl dodging a walker in the middle of the road, which eventually leads to them fighting off a large herd of walkers. While on a supply run, Daryl Dixon, Michonne Hawthorne, Bob Stookey, and Tyreese Williams hear a scrambled broadcast mentioning Terminus. We First, Always." This shows how Terminus devolved from a sanctuary to a place that thinks of itself first. It was lit with candles and had the victims' names and lifespans written on the floor along with personal effects. Those who rejected the notion were then captured, killed, and eaten.Īfter their victory over the bandits and the end of the occupation the Terminants built a shrine to those who had been killed during the occupation in a building. This is evident in their motto: "You're the butcher or you're the cattle." After rebuilding their community, the signs were kept up and the Terminants would ask new arrivals if they were willing to accept cannibalism as their way of survival in the community. The Terminants adopted a new ideology built on the idea of taking advantage of trusting people so that they themselves can survive. The occupation convinced the Terminants that there was no good left in the world and by trying to be good they were making themselves easy targets. Presumably as a result of the rapists starving them during their captivity and eating all of their food supplies, the starving Terminus residents cannibalized most of the men who had attacked them, although they kept the bandit leader alive and tortured him into insanity before imprisoning him permanently in a train car as revenge, leading the deranged man to mutter "We're the same" over and over (referencing how the Terminants and the bandits are now the same kind of monster). However, after weeks of occupation, the people of Terminus managed to escape and overpower their captors, retaking the facility. For unspecified reasons, they then herded the people into train cars and kept them there as prisoners before killing some of them, also raping the women. It is revealed that after Mary and the other original residents put up the signs directing people to Terminus in hopes of creating a sanctuary, a group of bandits saw the signs, came and took over the town. The occupation of Terminus was a period that occurred long before Rick and his group came to Terminus. or you're the cattle." -Mary regarding the Terminus' occupation And we fought and we got it back and we heard the message! You're the butcher.
