"What Lies Ahead" is the first episode of the second season of the post-apocalyptic horror television series ''The Walking Dead''. It originally aired on AMC in the United States on October 16, 2011. It was written by series developer Frank Darabont (under the pseudonym Ardeth Bey) and series creator Robert Kirkman, and directed by Gwyneth Horder-Payton and Ernest Dickerson. In this episode, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) leads his group toward Fort Benning, Georgia, but during an encounter with a herd of "walkers" Sophia Peletier (Madison Lintz) goes missing, and a search group is formed. "What Lies Ahead" was the last episode written by Darabont, who had been fired from the show in July 2011. It was first previewed at the San Diego Comic-Con International in San Diego on July 22, 2011. Production commenced in June 2011. Unlike the first season, most of the principal photography for "What Lies Ahead" took place outside the city limits of Atlanta, Georgia; filming took place in Smyrna and Henry County, Georgia. Before its first airing, several segments were announced and broadcast, including a six-part internet series and a live after-show hosted by Chris Hardwick. "What Lies Ahead" was well received by television critics, who said it made a strong start to the season. Ratings were similarly positive: in the United States, it broke the record for the most-watched drama in the history of basic cable, attaining 7.3 million viewers. Worldwide, it averaged a 2.0 rating in most television markets. ==Plot== After the destruction of the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Rick Grimes (Andrew Lincoln) and the survivors decide to travel to Fort Benning. Their group consists of Rick, his wife Lori Grimes (Sarah Wayne Callies), his son Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs), Carol Peletier (Melissa McBride) and her daughter Sophia (Madison Lintz), Shane Walsh (Jon Bernthal), Dale Horvath (Jeffrey DeMunn), Andrea (Laurie Holden), Glenn Rhee (Steven Yeun), Theodore "T-Dog" Douglas (IronE Singleton), and Daryl Dixon (Norman Reedus). Before leaving Rick tries one last time to contact Morgan Jones (Lennie James) and tells him to be safe but doesn't reach him. The group encounters a blockade of abandoned vehicles, and Dale's RV breaks down. Dale and Glenn try to repair the vehicle, while the rest search for food, water, and clothing. A large herd of walkers appears in the distance, prompting the survivors to seek shelter under abandoned vehicles. Andrea is trapped in the bathroom of an RV, where a walker discovers her. Dale hands her a screwdriver through an opening in the truck's roof, and Andrea uses it to vanquish the walker. Meanwhile, T-Dog slices his arm, attracting walkers to his trail of blood. Daryl rescues him by stabbing a walker, and they hide under nearby corpses, whose scent protects them. Two walkers spot Sophia hiding under a car and chase her into the woods. Rick pursues them, catches Sophia, and urges her to seek refuge in a hole near the riverbed while he distracts the walkers. Once Rick does so, Sophia escapes. While the others continue to clear the blockade of cars, Shane tells Lori he plans to leave the group on his own accord. Daryl and Rick fail to track Sophia down and the search is temporarily called off. A frantic and distraught Carol blames Rick for losing Sophia, exacerbating the guilt he already feels. The search for Sophia resumes the next morning. Andrea argues with Dale, requesting her gun for the search, and claiming his decision to stay with her at the CDC deprived her of the choice to end her life on her own terms. The group arrives at a church and kills the three walkers inside. Afterward, Lori and Carol go inside to pray. Carol begs for forgiveness and for Sophia's safe recovery. Andrea overhears Shane arguing with Lori about his plans to leave, and Andrea tells him she is willing to go with him. As the tension heightens, Rick questions his position as leader of the group. He asks the statue of Christ in the church for some sign that he is making the right decisions. Rick, Carl, and Shane discover a deer in the woods. As Carl approaches the deer, a gun is fired. The bullet passes through the deer and hits Carl's stomach. Rick frantically rushes to his severely injured son. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「What Lies Ahead」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
