Rather than allow himself to be captured, the Reaper told Maggie “Pope marked you,” and blew himself up with a grenade.
"Maggie, I'll find you." These were the last words Glenn ever spoke on The Walking Dead, right before his head was bashed in with a barbed wire bat, and it's a testament to the fan-favorite character's personality.
In response, the Reaper drops his knife, smiles, and simply says, "Pope marked you," before deliberately blowing himself up with a grenade. The eerie calm with which the man kills himself suggests that other Reapers will also be willing to die for the greater good of their group.
Back during the Reapers' first appearance, a soldier tells Maggie “Pope marked you” before detonating himself with a grenade.
Maggie then furiously questions the man about his identity and his group, but he only taunts Maggie by simply saying "Pope marked you", before committing suicide by detonating a grenade as the others dive for cover.
The History of Swearing on The Walking Dead
Back in Season 9, Episode 4, "The Obliged," The Walking Dead seemed to have dropped its first F-bomb, but fans weren't entirely sure. It was spoken by Norman Reedus' spinoff-bound Daryl Dixon, who grunts and mumbles so much that it was difficult to hear.
Fortitudo Saludis! The group's motto. The Reapers are a group of hostile survivors introduced in Season 10 of AMC's The Walking Dead. They served as the primary antagonistic group of the episode "Home Sweet Home" and the first part of Season 11.
"I will find you." Those were Glenn's final words to Maggie on The Walking Dead while he was in the midst of being pummeled with a barbed-wire-covered baseball bat.
The Reapers killed most of the people who resided at Meridian, the community where the Wardens most recently lived. This is the location Maggie has promised everyone will be their salvation as it has plenty of food, water and livestock.
Crying, Daryl apologizes to Maggie for Glenn's death. Maggie resolutely maintains Daryl wasn't to blame, saying that Glenn knew Daryl was "good", and that nearly killing a Savior unnecessarily would only have detracted from the bigger goal — winning the war; they embrace.
So, ultimately I just straight up asked AMC, and they told me what he said when Maggie asks him why he's done all this: “Pope marked you.” This is the first we're hearing about any “Pope,” and both he and the Reapers do not exist in the comics at all.
The truth, known to few, is that the Reaper is former Blackwatch Commander Gabriel Reyes, long thought deceased in the destruction of Overwatch's Swiss Headquarters.
On the meaning of Glenn's last words to Maggie — “I'll find you” — his TV wife, Lauren Cohan, added: “In this life or the next, they're star-crossed lovers. Time and place doesn't erase that. I'll find you. I'll be with you.
Cohan interprets Glenn's last words to mean, “In this life or the next,” according to Vanity Fair. “They're star-crossed lovers. 'I'll find you, I'll be with you, I'll watch over you. I'll be there.
Daryl's guilt over Glenn haunted him through season 7 and resulted in a powerful, emotional scene with Maggie, who told him that she didn't blame him for what Negan did. So as sad as Glenn's death was, there's so much that wouldn't have happened if a different character had been killed in his place on The Walking Dead.
Eventually her depression led to paranoia, which was revealed to be post-natal depression. She began losing control of herself and started thinking that Jack was plotting against her, and that Matt was there to tear them apart. One night, under the influence of her mental illness, Maggie tried to assault the baby.
When Pope orders Ancheta to fire the hwacha down at the courtyard, despite his men being in the line of fire, Leah kills him. However, she ultimately decides to remain with the Reapers to save what's left of her family rather than join Daryl. After she betrays Daryl, Leah becomes the leader of the Reapers.
The genesis of Maggie's ruthlessness can be traced back to the death of Glenn - a life-altering event that tainted the goodness she was once known for. This brings Maggie even closer to Negan, since it was the loss of Lucille, his own wife, that triggered Negan's evil Savior act.
Maggie forms a casual relationship with Glenn after becoming aware of his crush on her but insists it is purely a temporary arrangement. She later realizes that she has fallen in love with him, and they eventually marry.
In Robert Kirkman's original graphic novels, Maggie eventually strikes up a relationship with fellow survivor Dante, portrayed by Juan Javier Cardenas in the TV adaptation.
So Glenn knew Maggie was pregnant before he left, and that was why he wanted her to stay behind? Yeah, he did know; they knew – that was a big part of the reason why she stayed.
Dead City: Maggie Forgiving Negan Is Impossible, Lauren Cohan Assures Fans - IMDb. The Walking Dead: Dead City star Lauren Cohan has promised fans that the upcoming Walking Dead spinoff will not feature Maggie forgiving Negan for killing her husband, Glenn.
6) After his first meeting with Dog, Daryl edits a map of the river, very much like the map Carol picked up off the ground and placed in Daryl's backpack just before they left.
