I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Emma. It'll be better this way. I promise. It'll be better. I promise.
―Fred's last words to Mo before attempting to kill her.[src]

Fred is an antagonist and a survivor of the outbreak in AMC's Fear the Walking Dead. He is the husband of Bea and father of Emma. He served as the primary antagonist of the episode "Six Hours".

Overview[]

Fred is an unstable and delusional man. Once a caring father, after Teddy launched his nukes he and his family and got badly burned. When Fred and Bea encounter Morgan and Grace, they attempt to steal their baby, saying it's their child, Emma. Their kidnapping attempt is foiled, but Morgan takes pity on them and tries to work together. However, it's revealed that Fred is willing to resort to murdering children and had actually smothered the original Emma to death after she wouldn't stop crying after getting burned. Though Fred seems to think he is doing the babies a favor by ending their suffering, he also mainly does it so the babies don't attract walkers to kill them. Fred attempts to kill Mo the same way he killed Emma, but is shot by Grace just in time.

"Six Hours"[]

Fred and Bea from the drug store corner Grace and Morgan at gunpoint. The man, Fred, says that Mo is their baby.

Fred and his wife, Bea, stand guard while Morgan changes the car's tire at a body shop. Morgan warns Fred that he and Bea are highly irradiated. Walkers claw at the door, attracted to Mo's wailing. Fred warns Bea to silence Mo. Morgan notices that the walkers' faces are deformed with burns.

Grace plays music to stop Mo's crying. She and Morgan suggest they all escape together. Bea asks if they know about Padre, but Fred shushes her. Bea and Fred toss a suitcase into the car and escape. Morgan grabs Fred's rifle and stops the car with gunshots. Grace takes Mo inside a building for safety. Morgan throws Bea to the ground, but takes pity when her face bandages unravel, revealing severe radiation burns.

The group barricades themselves in a building. Bea explains that she and Fred were in a cellar when the bomb went off and that they got the burns later. Morgan says he was planning to take Mo outside of the fallout zone. Fred says they tried the same thing and ended up with the burns.

Fred and Bea show Morgan and Grace a map of the only route to safety. Fred starts to explain that the people on the radio don't want anyone knowing about the route. Grace invites Bea and Fred to bring their supplies and live at the submarine with them. Mo starts crying again. Fred worries she'll draw more walkers.

They race outside and start repairing the car. Grace suggests they head back to the sub, but Morgan insists they follow Fred and Bea's route. A car shows up in the distance. Morgan tells Grace to get Mo to safety.

Inside a building, Grace tells Fred to keep Mo quiet.

Someone gets out of the mysterious car and approaches. Morgan shoots the figure several times. It drops to the ground.

Grace starts shooting at walkers outside the window. Fred panics and begs Mo to stop crying.

Morgan hears a snuffling sound from Bea's suitcase and realizes Bea's dead baby is in the bag and has now turned. He shoots the baby in the suitcase. Bea reveals that Fred killed their baby when she became sick and cried inconsolably. Morgan yells out to Grace to warn her about Fred.

Fred slowly advances toward Mo. Morgan calls Grace through a tin can telephone to warn her. Grace shoots Fred right as he starts to smother Mo.
