'If you have to eat s**t, best not to nibble': Tense opening scene of The Walking Dead mid-season premiere leaked online

As usual on The Walking Dead, the zombies are the least of anyone's worries. 

The first four minutes of the mid season premiere have leaked online.

The clip was shown at a special event at the Smithsonian in Washington on Friday, but found its way online via cellphone recording.

The scene expands on the teaser shown after November's mid-season finale, in which Daryl, Abraham and Sasha encounter a roadblock of armed bikers while en route back to Alexandria. 

The leader of the gang tells them to hand over their weapons, informing them their property 'now belongs to Negan'.

'Now if you can get your hands on a tanker, you're people our person wants to know,' he tells them. 'So lets get the sidearms, shall we? Right now.'

Grinning, he makes his way along the line as Daryl and Sasha reluctantly hand over their guns... until he comes face to face with a very rigid Abraham.

'If you have to eat s**t, best not to nibble,' he tells him. 'Bite, chew, swallow, repeat. goes quicker.'

Abraham silently concurs and slowly hands over his weapon - prompting a mouthed 'thank you' - before Sasha asks: 'Who are you people?'

'I get the curiosity, but we have questions ourselves,' the lead biker replies as he makes his way back to his chopper. 'And we'll be the ones asking them while we drive you back to wherever it is you call home. Take a gander at where you hang your hats.

Where you hang your hats: After disarming Daryl and co, he informs them he wants to be taken back to their base

'First though, your sh*t: what have you got for us?' he asks. 'You just took it,' Daryl growls in reply.

'Come on... could we not? Okay? There's more. There's always more,' he fires back, summoning one of his henchmen to drag Daryl to search the truck.

'T - take our man to the back of the truck. Start inside the back bumper and work your way to the front. Bite, chew, swallow, repeat,' he reminds his captives.

Suddenly Abraham finds his voice: 'Who's Negan?' he asks.

'Ding! Dong! Hell's Bells!' the biker mocks. 'You see, usually we introduce ourselves by just popping one of you right off the bat. But you seem like reasonable people,' he says, chuckling at the fact Abraham is wearing a formal dress uniform

'Like i said we can drive you back to where you were... but do you know how awkward it is carpooling with someone whose friend or friend you've just killed?

But I told you not to ask any questions, and what does this ginger do? so that's that,' he says, aiming one of their guns at them. 'I don't want you to get the wrong impression of me.'

'Wait! wait. You don't have to do this,' Sasha shouts., but Abraham tells her to shut up out of the side of his mouth.

'I am talking to the man,' she replies, but the biker - pulling a second gun and aiming at them both - tells her: 'No, you're not'.

 Season six of the Walking Dead resumes on February 14.

No further questions: When Abraham asks who Negan is, he and Sasha get a couple of gun barrels aimed at them in reply
