Previously, on
"Day of The Dead"...
[snarling and growling]
Herb: They're eating
our guests.
Mom!
[crunch sound]
We have to get out of here.
[snarling and growling]
Come on! Let's go!
Lauren: I parked out back!
Herb: I know you.
You're that junkie.
You're a shitty excuse
for a doctor, you know that?
Right there.
Send out an EBS,
you text everyone,
tell them go to the old Paymart.
We could lock this place down,
keep everybody safe
until help comes.
She's playing around with
things she doesn't understand.
Death is no longer the end.
[snarling]
[cries of pain]
You ignorant prick.
[panting]
It's okay.
It's okay.
We're going to get you help.
Herb: Can this jalopy
go any faster?
You didn't wanna go to Paymart
and now you're in a rush
to get there?
Make up your mind, Herb.
Well, forgive me for
feeling uncomfortable
having my life
in your hands.
You weren't complaining when I
saved your ass back at the country club.
Both of you just stop.
Please. Stop.
This woman is a criminal.
Herb: She almost cost me
my medical license!
Jai: Herb, she told you
to stop!
[phone vibrating]
Oh my god, Mom.
Please, please tell me you're
still stuck in Florida.
No, Mom, please!
Stay there!
Don't come here!
No, I know I was pressuring
you to come
but something terrible
has happened.
Just where you are.
No. The wedding's done.
No, we didn't have it
without you.
That's not what happened.
Stop! Help!
Stop!
[tires screeching]
Please help.
My sister, we were out birding,
Mindy and I, when...
Oh, Jesus!
It hurts so bad.
Alright. Mindy, just try
and relax, okay?
[groans]
I'm a doctor.
How did this happen?
Mindy heard something
in the bushes
and then he was just there.
It was so awful.
We started to run
when we saw his... his...
He had his thing out.
His... his thing?
You know what
I'm talking about.
Those perverts and their things
they're so proud of.
I tripped trying to get away.
My god, I can still hear it
slapping against his thighs
as he was chasing us.
We have to get out of here.
He's still out there.
I can't do anything here.
Amy!
Get back in the damn car!
What's going on?
I have to get her to Paymart.
Paymart?
That place shut down.
Didn't you guys get the alert?
Okay, yeah, we'll be safe there.
From the perverts?
No, from the zomb‐
Yes.
Yes, the perverts.
You'll be safe
from the perverts.
There he is!
[low growling]
[moaning in pain]
[snarling and growling]
Ugh, really?
Oh, my god.
Holy shit.
Zombie dick.
Everybody in the car!
Hey! Where are you going?
Amy: Wait!

*DAY OF THE DEAD*
Season 01 Episode 06
Episode Title: "The Lady Birders of Nepa"
Aired on: November 19, 2021.
[growling]
Oh, fuck!
Shit!
Hey! Forget about
the damn shoe!
Mom and I bought
these shoes together.
Now she's gone.
I'm not leaving the shoe!
[screams]
You sons of bitches!
You ruined everything!
This was supposed to be
the happiest day of my life!
[screams]
She's losing it.
[screams]
[panting]
Everybody I loved was in there!
[sobbing]
Amy: They're all dead now.
Amy. Honey.
All right, look.
What happened sucks, and
I know... I know it sucks.
[scoffs]
But we're not safe here.
Oh Jesus.
Will you stop babying her?
Hey, you.
You listen to me.
I am not gonna sit here
and die
because you can't act
like an adult.
Now, get up off your ass
and move!
[exhales]
There, you see?
You just have to know
how to talk to her.
[screams]
Dad!
Please, I... I just need
more time.
I understand, but I've
discovered something.
Some... something...
something miraculous.
I don't care what you tell them,
just don't let them do anything
without me.
They've waited this long...
they can wait another 24 hours.
You and I have work to do.
[♪]
All right, you boys know how
to use those?
Good. Now, get out front.
You keep an eye
on that parking lot.
Paula?
Are you crazy,
handing out guns?
Someone's gonna get hurt.
People are already
getting hurt.
I'm giving them
a fighting chance.
You can't just create
a militia.
[laughs]
The hell I can't.
Take a look at the second
amendment sometime.
This isn't about politics.
What's happening
out there is... is bigger
than our election.
[laughing]
Oh, ho, ho!
Oh, that is really something
coming from you.
You threatened to destroy my
family if I didn't step down.
So you can kiss my ass.
This town needs a leader
with a cool head,
not one telling teenagers
to shoot on site.
My husband Trey and I, we were
attacked by those creatures.
My campaign manager
was brutally murdered,
and my son, my only child,
was almost taken from us.
Now, I will not stand by
and let a single member
of this community
go through that.
If we are going to survive
this day
we need to stand together.
We need to fight together!
Luke, wait.
Imagine how good her speech
would have been
if I had actually died.
I bet part of her wishes
that I did.
Don't say that,
that's not fair.
You know we're just props
to her, right?
We're just supposed
to stand around and nod
like a couple of assholes.
You know, at least I stand up
to her every once in a while.
What do you do?
You just sneak around
screwing Nicole
'cause you're too scared
to say anything.
Luke.
It's pathetic.
You're pathetic.
[growling and snarling]
Dad, are you okay?
[fighting grunts]
Jai!
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
[gunshot]
Y'all need a lift
to the Paymart?
Bobby fucking Hart.
[♪]
[♪]
[drilling]
[slam]
I think I missed it.
Missed a stud or something.
Hey, hey, Lauren!
Oh, my god, I'm so glad
you're safe.
And Jai and you guys.
It's pretty bad out there, man.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
It's good to see you.
You too, man.
So?
I was so worried about you.
You were?
I mean, I saved your ass this
morning so I'd be pretty pissed
if you bit it the minute
I let you out of my sight.
We kind of saved each other's
asses, but whatever.
Well, I'm glad you're safe.
You find your dad?
No.
He's probably passed
out somewhere,
sleeping through
this whole thing.
He'll turn up.
In the meantime,
while you're here,
why not check out Paymart's
extensive menswear department?
Maybe you can ditch
the cargo shorts.
Oh yeah?
Lauren.
Come on, we need help
in the infirmary.
Why me?
If you can sew up a corpse
you can suture a live person.
Jai: Come on.
Hell yeah, that's what
I'm talking about.
Let's re‐kill these
undead fuckers.
Bobby.
Bobby Hart.
You're Jerry's grandson,
aren't you?
He was my Peepaw, yeah.
I'm sorry to hear
he passed.
He was a hell of a Peepaw.
Listen, Bobby, before you
go out there blasting folks,
I... I want you to think
about something.
Your grandpa could be one
of those people out there.
Nah, he's pinned to the floor
of the funeral home.
Those things out there,
they used to be people.
People we know.
Our neighbors, our friends,
our... our Peepaws.
We don't even know
what's causing this.
What if there's a cure?
What if it's only temporary?
We need to help them
and not destroy them.
Are we the type of people
who would slaughter their own
out of fear?
You wouldn't shoot your poor old
Peepaw, Bobby, would you?
Fuck no, I would not.
[winces]
That's some nice stitch work.
Thanks.
It's definitely weird doing this
on someone who's still alive.
Because I'm not a doctor.
I'd be way more comfortable
doing this on you
if you were dead.
No one's gonna die.
You're fine.
Lauren, why don't you uh,
go check on the next patient?
Okay.
Whatever you say, doc.
[chuckles]
What?
I knew you were soft,
but uh... Christ.
Lauren: No fucking way!
You left us out there to die!
[teary]
I'm sorry, I panicked.
Please, you've gotta help
my sister.
It's okay.
Don't worry. Of course we'll
help you. Okay.
[cries of pain]
You're hurting her.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to get
a better understanding
of your sister's condition.
Lauren, can you take her away
from here, please?
I'm not leaving!
Cindy, please, just...
just let him work.
Come on.
Go.
[whimpering]
I know you're in pain.
But I'm gonna help you,
I promise.
Jai.
You do realize
the only thing keeping her alive
is that stick.
You try to remove it
she'll bleed out in 30 seconds.
- You don't know that.
- And neither do you!
Not without an ultrasound.
Now, I've been a physician
longer than you've been alive
and I can tell a lost cause
when I see one.
Now, you wanna help
this woman?
Treat her pain and let her die
with dignity.
Focus your efforts on people
you can actually save.
Maybe you've been doing this job
too long.
Our job is to save
every single patient,
no matter how dire
the prognosis.
Now, that doesn't make me soft,
it makes me a goddamn doctor.
[clears throat]
There used to be
a pharmacy here.
See if you can find anything,
any kind of pain medication.
Hydrocodone, Oxycontin,
anything strong.
Even if it's expired.
This woman is gonna need it.
You want me to find
pain meds?
What, you've got a problem
with that?
Or do you want to trick Jai into
writing a prescription again?
Kiss my ass.
[♪]
[thwack]
[thwack]
[thwack]
[thwack]
Shopping?
Oh, yeah.
Lauren's always giving me
a hard time
about my cargo shorts, so...
Right.
I don't really think the shorts
are the issue, man.
[thwack]
Whatever.
Hey, this shit's crazy, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Still not convinced it's not all
a bad dream.
Yeah.
Wanna take a cut at it?
Yes or no?
All right.
All right.
[thwack]
[thwack]
There you are.
[sighs]
Wow.
I thought I was having
a bad day.
Did the wedding even happen?
What do you think?
You know, you might have dodged
a bullet there.
It's supposed to be the happiest
day of your life,
but one day you're gonna wake up
and you're married to the mayor,
your son hates you, and the guy
you were 22 years ago
wouldn't give you the time
of day.
[sighs]
Something on your mind?
Okay, let's see what
you remember.
Hey.
Hey, look.
Look.
Hey, what's this?
What is this?
[low growls]
What about this?
You know what this is?
[grunts]
[banging on bars]
Dammit!
What?
Yes.
That's yours.
That's yours.
[grunts]
You remember!
You remember!
Maybe you are in there
after all.
I don't care about flooding
in Pittsburg!
I need help here!
This is a natural disaster!
It's an unnatural disaster!
I've got some boys armed
and headed out front
to watch the perimeter,
but they aren't exactly
Navy Seals.
Any word on the backup?
Goddammit.
Assholes!
National Guard's a no go.
Oh Jesus.
Then what're we gonna do?
[explosion]
Dig in.
Make a stand here.
Try to save as many people
as possible.
Make sure your boys are locked
and loaded.
I'll call the troopers again,
try and see if I can light
a fire under their asses.
Paula.
Can I borrow your phone?
[exhales]
[♪]
Looks like someone
beat me to it.
Hey, assholes.
I haven't seen you
in 90 days.
...and then I lost it. Cried
like a baby right in front of him.
Luke was right.
I am pathetic.
[exhales]
What about you?
Huh?
Trey, you just told me
your whole life story
from everyone else's point
of view but yours.
Paula did, Nicole said,
Luke told me...
What about you?
Where are you
in all of this?
I don't know.
I mean, Paula says‐
I don't care what Paula says.
What would you say
if you didn't have all these
other voices in your head?
I don't know.
Well...
If you ever met my dad,
you'd know that I come from
some pretty controlling people.
[chuckles]
And a few years back I was
feeling so frustrated,
so constricted, I...
I felt like I couldn't
even breathe.
You know what I did?
I signed up for Krav Maga.
What's that?
You know, the Israeli art of
kicking the shit out of people?
Okay, I know it's random
but, I mean, just having
that little piece of control
made me feel like I could start
taking the power back
in the rest of my life.
No shit.
Yeah. No shit.
Now probably isn't the best time
to start martial arts classes,
is it?
Yeah, well, that was my thing.
You gotta find your own thing.
And it doesn't need
to be a class.
It can be a moment,
or a feeling.
Anything that can be yours.
And I promise you
when you find it,
you'll be back in charge
of your own life.
Jesus.
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna own my life!
- Thank you, Amy.
- Yeah.
That was...
Oh... that was...
Damn!
Now all we gotta do is live
long enough for you to do it.
What the hell is this?
Why aren't you outside?
I won't do it, Mayor.
I ain't shooting my Peepaw.
Not for you,
not for nobody.
What the‐
I had a little talk
with the boys.
We've decided to take
a different approach.
We are going to trap
those folks humanely.
Are you shitting me?!
You've seen what
those monsters can do!
You're gonna get us
all killed!
Well, that's your opinion.
Hey! Hey!
You listen to me, Parker!
This election, it's not
happening, okay, not today.
Now is not the time for some
sort of a power grab!
This is life and death!
And that's where we've always
differed, isn't it, Paula?
You focus on death,
I focus on life.
You see them as things,
but we see them as our friends
and our families.
[laughs]
Do you even have a brain left
in that balding head of yours?
Huh?
Or is it just a bunch
of liberal bullshit
floating around in oat milk?
Come on, everybody.
Let's get those nets ready
and save some lives.
Hell yeah!
[♪]
You're still you.
The virus hasn't erased you.
Death hasn't erased you.
But I have to be sure.
I have to be.
I have to be sure
you're still in there.
[screaming]
Help! Help!
Help me!
[screaming]
Help me!
[groans]
Oh, geez.
[exhales]
Where the hell have you been?
A fish finder.
It's nowhere near as precise,
but functionally
it's not that different
from an ultrasound machine.
It should give us a pretty
decent idea
of the severity of
Mindy's condition.
[scoffs]
You're out of your mind.
Yeah, well, at least
I'm doing something.
She's getting worse.
Please help her.
That's exactly what
I'm gonna do.
All right, I'm gonna need
someone to hold her still.
Where's Lauren?
I sent her off to the pharmacy
to get pain medicine.
I figured she'd know
what to look for.
Herb.
Jesus Christ, can you not be
an asshole for one minute?
Hey, I'd rather be an asshole
than a naive little boy.
You're so desperate
to impress your patients
you can't even tell when you're
being scammed by a drug addict.
But she saw.
Lauren saw your weakness.
She batted her eyelashes and
out comes your prescription pad.
You didn't have to call
the police.
She didn't have to go to jail.
We could have helped her.
- What's wrong?
- Hold her steady.
What's happening?
We need to get that stick out!
Now!
Didn't swipe any, did you?
Fuck you.
- Herb, what the hell?
- Lauren, I need your help.
It's okay. It's okay.
Please! What are you doing?
Please, stop!
Please, stop.
Lauren, I need gauze, now!
We need gauze!
Yeah.
[cries of pain]
[screaming and gasping]
[screaming]
Anybody! Help! Help!!
I've been trying to help you!
I'm trying‐
Stop! Look, look, look!
[loud growl]
[snarling and growling]
Dammit.
Dammit!
Hey, bub.
McDermott: Don't forget,
if you get into trouble...
Look.
...just pass it to Luke.
Cam: Mom, will you
make him stop.
Don't post this.
McDermott: Don't worry,
I won't share it.
Cam: You better not.
I knew it. I knew it.
[loud growl]
[snarling and growling]
[roars]
[roars]
Hey.
I'm so glad to see you.
Have you... have you
been drinking?
Uh... yeah, um... I mean...
I was talking to Trey Bowman,
the mayor's husband and‐
Amy, are you kidding me?
I'm over here trying
to save people
and you're having a...
a party?
Okay, woah, we were
just talking.
He's in a pretty dark place.
Oh. He is?
You know that woman we found
on the side of the road?
The one with a branch
in her side?
She's dead, Amy.
Oh, god.
I... that's...
that's awful, I...
She was seizing and uh...
I had to do something.
I really, really thought
I could save her.
Okay.
Don't blame yourself.
Like, you can't save everybody.
What kind of doctor would I be
if I didn't try, huh?
Oh yeah, that's right.
I'd be your dad.
I can't believe I almost married
you today.
What the hell is that supposed
to mean?
Ever since we got engaged
I felt like I wasn't good enough
for you.
Like I wasn't good enough
to be a part of your family.
But today, with your dad waving
that prenup in my face,
I realized you don't think
I'm good enough.
[teary]
Jai. I... Jai, please...
You deserved better
than this.
But shit's pretty
fucked up right now.
[sobbing]
Why is this happening?
[sobbing]
Why us? Why here?
I don't wanna die.
Not like this.
[sobbing]
Maybe you're one of
the lucky ones.
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
There you are.
Listen, we need to talk.
I've been doing some thinking
on the state of
our relationship...
Oh man.
You haven't dipped
since college.
Trey, what do you want?
The way you treat me?
The way you take me
for granted?
It isn't okay.
I'm a person.
I'm a man, Paula.
You need to start treating me
like one.
We are not doing this.
We have no police force.
No outside help.
And that idiot,
Pops Parker,
has managed to convince
everyone in here
that those monsters are their
long lost family members.
So now I have to convince
a store full of morons
that those things
are actually dangerous!
No!
No!!
It's always about you and your
problems and what you need.
This is about us.
We had a real marriage once
and I'm gonna fight
to get that back.
I am more than the guy
who holds your purse.
I'm your goddamn husband and
this family is my Krav Maga.
What are you even‐
That tasted like absolute ass.
[door closes]
[gasps]
Hey, sweetie.
You know, you're not always
right all the time.
You know that?
I was right about that patient
and I am right about Jai.
He's a nice kid, yeah.
Might even make
a decent husband.
But you deserve more than
nice and decent.
I hoped you'd see that.
My whole life I worshipped you.
I wanted to be just like you.
And you know what
the worst part is?
I think I am.
Amy.
Amy!
[crying] She wasn't just
my sister, she was my best friend.
We lived together,
we went birding together,
and after mother died
we only had each other.
[crying]
Now who do I have?
Oh, no, no.
You have us.
We're not just your neighbors,
Cindy.
We're your family.
We look after each other.
We take care of each other,
and that's exactly
what we're gonna do today.
Have you seen Jai?
Not for a while.
Can you believe this guy?
It's the damn apocalypse and
he's still running for mayor.
It's up to us
right here and now
to decide what kind of town
we want to be.
A town that rules
with fear and violence,
or a town that leads with
strength and compassion?
Let us not go out there
and kill those people.
Let us go out there
and save them.
[applause]
[screaming]
Mindy!
Is that you?
She's one of them things.
Oh shit.
Oh no, no, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's... it's... it's okay.
We don't want to hurt you,
it's... it's just um...
that's right,
you... you are fine.
You are our friend.
You see?
They can be saved.
[chuckles]
[snarling]
Get it off me!
Get it off me!!
Somebody help me!
[growling and snarling]
Get a gun and shoot
this fucking thing!
No!
Kill it!
Everybody, stand back!
[battle cry]
Get off of him!
[♪]
[thud]
Trey, get outta there!
[thuds]
It's okay, Paula.
I got this one.
[gasps]
Move!
Move!
Get off!
[snarling and growling]
[screaming]
[gunshot]
[gunshots]
What the hell was that?
[gunshot]
[gunshot]
Oh!
[sobbing]
Oh, Trey.
Did I get her?
Yeah.
Yeah, you got her.
You saved us.
You're a hero.
[groan]
[sobbing]
Tr... Trey...
[sobbing]
Where the hell
did she come from?
So now I have to convince
a store full of morons
that those things are
actually dangerous!

"Day of The Dead"...
[snarling and growling]
Herb: They're eating
our guests.
Mom!
[crunch sound]
We have to get out of here.
[snarling and growling]
Come on! Let's go!
Lauren: I parked out back!
Herb: I know you.
You're that junkie.
You're a shitty excuse
for a doctor, you know that?
Right there.
Send out an EBS,
you text everyone,
tell them go to the old Paymart.
We could lock this place down,
keep everybody safe
until help comes.
She's playing around with
things she doesn't understand.
Death is no longer the end.
[snarling]
[cries of pain]
You ignorant prick.
[panting]
It's okay.
It's okay.
We're going to get you help.
Herb: Can this jalopy
go any faster?
You didn't wanna go to Paymart
and now you're in a rush
to get there?
Make up your mind, Herb.
Well, forgive me for
feeling uncomfortable
having my life
in your hands.
You weren't complaining when I
saved your ass back at the country club.
Both of you just stop.
Please. Stop.
This woman is a criminal.
Herb: She almost cost me
my medical license!
Jai: Herb, she told you
to stop!
[phone vibrating]
Oh my god, Mom.
Please, please tell me you're
still stuck in Florida.
No, Mom, please!
Stay there!
Don't come here!
No, I know I was pressuring
you to come
but something terrible
has happened.
Just where you are.
No. The wedding's done.
No, we didn't have it
without you.
That's not what happened.
Stop! Help!
Stop!
[tires screeching]
Please help.
My sister, we were out birding,
Mindy and I, when...
Oh, Jesus!
It hurts so bad.
Alright. Mindy, just try
and relax, okay?
[groans]
I'm a doctor.
How did this happen?
Mindy heard something
in the bushes
and then he was just there.
It was so awful.
We started to run
when we saw his... his...
He had his thing out.
His... his thing?
You know what
I'm talking about.
Those perverts and their things
they're so proud of.
I tripped trying to get away.
My god, I can still hear it
slapping against his thighs
as he was chasing us.
We have to get out of here.
He's still out there.
I can't do anything here.
Amy!
Get back in the damn car!
What's going on?
I have to get her to Paymart.
Paymart?
That place shut down.
Didn't you guys get the alert?
Okay, yeah, we'll be safe there.
From the perverts?
No, from the zomb‐
Yes.
Yes, the perverts.
You'll be safe
from the perverts.
There he is!
[low growling]
[moaning in pain]
[snarling and growling]
Ugh, really?
Oh, my god.
Holy shit.
Zombie dick.
Everybody in the car!
Hey! Where are you going?
Amy: Wait!

*DAY OF THE DEAD*
Season 01 Episode 06
Episode Title: "The Lady Birders of Nepa"
Aired on: November 19, 2021.
[growling]
Oh, fuck!
Shit!
Hey! Forget about
the damn shoe!
Mom and I bought
these shoes together.
Now she's gone.
I'm not leaving the shoe!
[screams]
You sons of bitches!
You ruined everything!
This was supposed to be
the happiest day of my life!
[screams]
She's losing it.
[screams]
[panting]
Everybody I loved was in there!
[sobbing]
Amy: They're all dead now.
Amy. Honey.
All right, look.
What happened sucks, and
I know... I know it sucks.
[scoffs]
But we're not safe here.
Oh Jesus.
Will you stop babying her?
Hey, you.
You listen to me.
I am not gonna sit here
and die
because you can't act
like an adult.
Now, get up off your ass
and move!
[exhales]
There, you see?
You just have to know
how to talk to her.
[screams]
Dad!
Please, I... I just need
more time.
I understand, but I've
discovered something.
Some... something...
something miraculous.
I don't care what you tell them,
just don't let them do anything
without me.
They've waited this long...
they can wait another 24 hours.
You and I have work to do.
[♪]
All right, you boys know how
to use those?
Good. Now, get out front.
You keep an eye
on that parking lot.
Paula?
Are you crazy,
handing out guns?
Someone's gonna get hurt.
People are already
getting hurt.
I'm giving them
a fighting chance.
You can't just create
a militia.
[laughs]
The hell I can't.
Take a look at the second
amendment sometime.
This isn't about politics.
What's happening
out there is... is bigger
than our election.
[laughing]
Oh, ho, ho!
Oh, that is really something
coming from you.
You threatened to destroy my
family if I didn't step down.
So you can kiss my ass.
This town needs a leader
with a cool head,
not one telling teenagers
to shoot on site.
My husband Trey and I, we were
attacked by those creatures.
My campaign manager
was brutally murdered,
and my son, my only child,
was almost taken from us.
Now, I will not stand by
and let a single member
of this community
go through that.
If we are going to survive
this day
we need to stand together.
We need to fight together!
Luke, wait.
Imagine how good her speech
would have been
if I had actually died.
I bet part of her wishes
that I did.
Don't say that,
that's not fair.
You know we're just props
to her, right?
We're just supposed
to stand around and nod
like a couple of assholes.
You know, at least I stand up
to her every once in a while.
What do you do?
You just sneak around
screwing Nicole
'cause you're too scared
to say anything.
Luke.
It's pathetic.
You're pathetic.
[growling and snarling]
Dad, are you okay?
[fighting grunts]
Jai!
Oh, you've gotta be kidding me.
[gunshot]
Y'all need a lift
to the Paymart?
Bobby fucking Hart.
[♪]
[♪]
[drilling]
[slam]
I think I missed it.
Missed a stud or something.
Hey, hey, Lauren!
Oh, my god, I'm so glad
you're safe.
And Jai and you guys.
It's pretty bad out there, man.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
It's good to see you.
You too, man.
So?
I was so worried about you.
You were?
I mean, I saved your ass this
morning so I'd be pretty pissed
if you bit it the minute
I let you out of my sight.
We kind of saved each other's
asses, but whatever.
Well, I'm glad you're safe.
You find your dad?
No.
He's probably passed
out somewhere,
sleeping through
this whole thing.
He'll turn up.
In the meantime,
while you're here,
why not check out Paymart's
extensive menswear department?
Maybe you can ditch
the cargo shorts.
Oh yeah?
Lauren.
Come on, we need help
in the infirmary.
Why me?
If you can sew up a corpse
you can suture a live person.
Jai: Come on.
Hell yeah, that's what
I'm talking about.
Let's re‐kill these
undead fuckers.
Bobby.
Bobby Hart.
You're Jerry's grandson,
aren't you?
He was my Peepaw, yeah.
I'm sorry to hear
he passed.
He was a hell of a Peepaw.
Listen, Bobby, before you
go out there blasting folks,
I... I want you to think
about something.
Your grandpa could be one
of those people out there.
Nah, he's pinned to the floor
of the funeral home.
Those things out there,
they used to be people.
People we know.
Our neighbors, our friends,
our... our Peepaws.
We don't even know
what's causing this.
What if there's a cure?
What if it's only temporary?
We need to help them
and not destroy them.
Are we the type of people
who would slaughter their own
out of fear?
You wouldn't shoot your poor old
Peepaw, Bobby, would you?
Fuck no, I would not.
[winces]
That's some nice stitch work.
Thanks.
It's definitely weird doing this
on someone who's still alive.
Because I'm not a doctor.
I'd be way more comfortable
doing this on you
if you were dead.
No one's gonna die.
You're fine.
Lauren, why don't you uh,
go check on the next patient?
Okay.
Whatever you say, doc.
[chuckles]
What?
I knew you were soft,
but uh... Christ.
Lauren: No fucking way!
You left us out there to die!
[teary]
I'm sorry, I panicked.
Please, you've gotta help
my sister.
It's okay.
Don't worry. Of course we'll
help you. Okay.
[cries of pain]
You're hurting her.
I know. I'm sorry.
I'm just trying to get
a better understanding
of your sister's condition.
Lauren, can you take her away
from here, please?
I'm not leaving!
Cindy, please, just...
just let him work.
Come on.
Go.
[whimpering]
I know you're in pain.
But I'm gonna help you,
I promise.
Jai.
You do realize
the only thing keeping her alive
is that stick.
You try to remove it
she'll bleed out in 30 seconds.
- You don't know that.
- And neither do you!
Not without an ultrasound.
Now, I've been a physician
longer than you've been alive
and I can tell a lost cause
when I see one.
Now, you wanna help
this woman?
Treat her pain and let her die
with dignity.
Focus your efforts on people
you can actually save.
Maybe you've been doing this job
too long.
Our job is to save
every single patient,
no matter how dire
the prognosis.
Now, that doesn't make me soft,
it makes me a goddamn doctor.
[clears throat]
There used to be
a pharmacy here.
See if you can find anything,
any kind of pain medication.
Hydrocodone, Oxycontin,
anything strong.
Even if it's expired.
This woman is gonna need it.
You want me to find
pain meds?
What, you've got a problem
with that?
Or do you want to trick Jai into
writing a prescription again?
Kiss my ass.
[♪]
[thwack]
[thwack]
[thwack]
[thwack]
Shopping?
Oh, yeah.
Lauren's always giving me
a hard time
about my cargo shorts, so...
Right.
I don't really think the shorts
are the issue, man.
[thwack]
Whatever.
Hey, this shit's crazy, right?
Yeah. Yeah.
Still not convinced it's not all
a bad dream.
Yeah.
Wanna take a cut at it?
Yes or no?
All right.
All right.
[thwack]
[thwack]
There you are.
[sighs]
Wow.
I thought I was having
a bad day.
Did the wedding even happen?
What do you think?
You know, you might have dodged
a bullet there.
It's supposed to be the happiest
day of your life,
but one day you're gonna wake up
and you're married to the mayor,
your son hates you, and the guy
you were 22 years ago
wouldn't give you the time
of day.
[sighs]
Something on your mind?
Okay, let's see what
you remember.
Hey.
Hey, look.
Look.
Hey, what's this?
What is this?
[low growls]
What about this?
You know what this is?
[grunts]
[banging on bars]
Dammit!
What?
Yes.
That's yours.
That's yours.
[grunts]
You remember!
You remember!
Maybe you are in there
after all.
I don't care about flooding
in Pittsburg!
I need help here!
This is a natural disaster!
It's an unnatural disaster!
I've got some boys armed
and headed out front
to watch the perimeter,
but they aren't exactly
Navy Seals.
Any word on the backup?
Goddammit.
Assholes!
National Guard's a no go.
Oh Jesus.
Then what're we gonna do?
[explosion]
Dig in.
Make a stand here.
Try to save as many people
as possible.
Make sure your boys are locked
and loaded.
I'll call the troopers again,
try and see if I can light
a fire under their asses.
Paula.
Can I borrow your phone?
[exhales]
[♪]
Looks like someone
beat me to it.
Hey, assholes.
I haven't seen you
in 90 days.
...and then I lost it. Cried
like a baby right in front of him.
Luke was right.
I am pathetic.
[exhales]
What about you?
Huh?
Trey, you just told me
your whole life story
from everyone else's point
of view but yours.
Paula did, Nicole said,
Luke told me...
What about you?
Where are you
in all of this?
I don't know.
I mean, Paula says‐
I don't care what Paula says.
What would you say
if you didn't have all these
other voices in your head?
I don't know.
Well...
If you ever met my dad,
you'd know that I come from
some pretty controlling people.
[chuckles]
And a few years back I was
feeling so frustrated,
so constricted, I...
I felt like I couldn't
even breathe.
You know what I did?
I signed up for Krav Maga.
What's that?
You know, the Israeli art of
kicking the shit out of people?
Okay, I know it's random
but, I mean, just having
that little piece of control
made me feel like I could start
taking the power back
in the rest of my life.
No shit.
Yeah. No shit.
Now probably isn't the best time
to start martial arts classes,
is it?
Yeah, well, that was my thing.
You gotta find your own thing.
And it doesn't need
to be a class.
It can be a moment,
or a feeling.
Anything that can be yours.
And I promise you
when you find it,
you'll be back in charge
of your own life.
Jesus.
I'm gonna do it.
I'm gonna own my life!
- Thank you, Amy.
- Yeah.
That was...
Oh... that was...
Damn!
Now all we gotta do is live
long enough for you to do it.
What the hell is this?
Why aren't you outside?
I won't do it, Mayor.
I ain't shooting my Peepaw.
Not for you,
not for nobody.
What the‐
I had a little talk
with the boys.
We've decided to take
a different approach.
We are going to trap
those folks humanely.
Are you shitting me?!
You've seen what
those monsters can do!
You're gonna get us
all killed!
Well, that's your opinion.
Hey! Hey!
You listen to me, Parker!
This election, it's not
happening, okay, not today.
Now is not the time for some
sort of a power grab!
This is life and death!
And that's where we've always
differed, isn't it, Paula?
You focus on death,
I focus on life.
You see them as things,
but we see them as our friends
and our families.
[laughs]
Do you even have a brain left
in that balding head of yours?
Huh?
Or is it just a bunch
of liberal bullshit
floating around in oat milk?
Come on, everybody.
Let's get those nets ready
and save some lives.
Hell yeah!
[♪]
You're still you.
The virus hasn't erased you.
Death hasn't erased you.
But I have to be sure.
I have to be.
I have to be sure
you're still in there.
[screaming]
Help! Help!
Help me!
[screaming]
Help me!
[groans]
Oh, geez.
[exhales]
Where the hell have you been?
A fish finder.
It's nowhere near as precise,
but functionally
it's not that different
from an ultrasound machine.
It should give us a pretty
decent idea
of the severity of
Mindy's condition.
[scoffs]
You're out of your mind.
Yeah, well, at least
I'm doing something.
She's getting worse.
Please help her.
That's exactly what
I'm gonna do.
All right, I'm gonna need
someone to hold her still.
Where's Lauren?
I sent her off to the pharmacy
to get pain medicine.
I figured she'd know
what to look for.
Herb.
Jesus Christ, can you not be
an asshole for one minute?
Hey, I'd rather be an asshole
than a naive little boy.
You're so desperate
to impress your patients
you can't even tell when you're
being scammed by a drug addict.
But she saw.
Lauren saw your weakness.
She batted her eyelashes and
out comes your prescription pad.
You didn't have to call
the police.
She didn't have to go to jail.
We could have helped her.
- What's wrong?
- Hold her steady.
What's happening?
We need to get that stick out!
Now!
Didn't swipe any, did you?
Fuck you.
- Herb, what the hell?
- Lauren, I need your help.
It's okay. It's okay.
Please! What are you doing?
Please, stop!
Please, stop.
Lauren, I need gauze, now!
We need gauze!
Yeah.
[cries of pain]
[screaming and gasping]
[screaming]
Anybody! Help! Help!!
I've been trying to help you!
I'm trying‐
Stop! Look, look, look!
[loud growl]
[snarling and growling]
Dammit.
Dammit!
Hey, bub.
McDermott: Don't forget,
if you get into trouble...
Look.
...just pass it to Luke.
Cam: Mom, will you
make him stop.
Don't post this.
McDermott: Don't worry,
I won't share it.
Cam: You better not.
I knew it. I knew it.
[loud growl]
[snarling and growling]
[roars]
[roars]
Hey.
I'm so glad to see you.
Have you... have you
been drinking?
Uh... yeah, um... I mean...
I was talking to Trey Bowman,
the mayor's husband and‐
Amy, are you kidding me?
I'm over here trying
to save people
and you're having a...
a party?
Okay, woah, we were
just talking.
He's in a pretty dark place.
Oh. He is?
You know that woman we found
on the side of the road?
The one with a branch
in her side?
She's dead, Amy.
Oh, god.
I... that's...
that's awful, I...
She was seizing and uh...
I had to do something.
I really, really thought
I could save her.
Okay.
Don't blame yourself.
Like, you can't save everybody.
What kind of doctor would I be
if I didn't try, huh?
Oh yeah, that's right.
I'd be your dad.
I can't believe I almost married
you today.
What the hell is that supposed
to mean?
Ever since we got engaged
I felt like I wasn't good enough
for you.
Like I wasn't good enough
to be a part of your family.
But today, with your dad waving
that prenup in my face,
I realized you don't think
I'm good enough.
[teary]
Jai. I... Jai, please...
You deserved better
than this.
But shit's pretty
fucked up right now.
[sobbing]
Why is this happening?
[sobbing]
Why us? Why here?
I don't wanna die.
Not like this.
[sobbing]
Maybe you're one of
the lucky ones.
[groans]
[breathing heavily]
There you are.
Listen, we need to talk.
I've been doing some thinking
on the state of
our relationship...
Oh man.
You haven't dipped
since college.
Trey, what do you want?
The way you treat me?
The way you take me
for granted?
It isn't okay.
I'm a person.
I'm a man, Paula.
You need to start treating me
like one.
We are not doing this.
We have no police force.
No outside help.
And that idiot,
Pops Parker,
has managed to convince
everyone in here
that those monsters are their
long lost family members.
So now I have to convince
a store full of morons
that those things
are actually dangerous!
No!
No!!
It's always about you and your
problems and what you need.
This is about us.
We had a real marriage once
and I'm gonna fight
to get that back.
I am more than the guy
who holds your purse.
I'm your goddamn husband and
this family is my Krav Maga.
What are you even‐
That tasted like absolute ass.
[door closes]
[gasps]
Hey, sweetie.
You know, you're not always
right all the time.
You know that?
I was right about that patient
and I am right about Jai.
He's a nice kid, yeah.
Might even make
a decent husband.
But you deserve more than
nice and decent.
I hoped you'd see that.
My whole life I worshipped you.
I wanted to be just like you.
And you know what
the worst part is?
I think I am.
Amy.
Amy!
[crying] She wasn't just
my sister, she was my best friend.
We lived together,
we went birding together,
and after mother died
we only had each other.
[crying]
Now who do I have?
Oh, no, no.
You have us.
We're not just your neighbors,
Cindy.
We're your family.
We look after each other.
We take care of each other,
and that's exactly
what we're gonna do today.
Have you seen Jai?
Not for a while.
Can you believe this guy?
It's the damn apocalypse and
he's still running for mayor.
It's up to us
right here and now
to decide what kind of town
we want to be.
A town that rules
with fear and violence,
or a town that leads with
strength and compassion?
Let us not go out there
and kill those people.
Let us go out there
and save them.
[applause]
[screaming]
Mindy!
Is that you?
She's one of them things.
Oh shit.
Oh no, no, no.
It's okay, it's okay.
No, no, no, no, no.
It's... it's... it's okay.
We don't want to hurt you,
it's... it's just um...
that's right,
you... you are fine.
You are our friend.
You see?
They can be saved.
[chuckles]
[snarling]
Get it off me!
Get it off me!!
Somebody help me!
[growling and snarling]
Get a gun and shoot
this fucking thing!
No!
Kill it!
Everybody, stand back!
[battle cry]
Get off of him!
[♪]
[thud]
Trey, get outta there!
[thuds]
It's okay, Paula.
I got this one.
[gasps]
Move!
Move!
Get off!
[snarling and growling]
[screaming]
[gunshot]
[gunshots]
What the hell was that?
[gunshot]
[gunshot]
Oh!
[sobbing]
Oh, Trey.
Did I get her?
Yeah.
Yeah, you got her.
You saved us.
You're a hero.
[groan]
[sobbing]
Tr... Trey...
[sobbing]
Where the hell
did she come from?
So now I have to convince
a store full of morons
that those things are
actually dangerous!
