Z Nation (2014–…): Season 1, Episode 9 - Die Zombie Die... Again - full transcript
The travails of Mack and Addy, separated from the group.
Previously, on Z Nation
I call it the Z Whacker.
Look, I just don't
trust Murphy, okay?
There's something wrong
with that dude.
What if it's true?
What if Murphy's who
they say he is
and there's a chance
for a vaccine?
Cuz that's hope, Mack.
It's not hope. It's a lie, and
it's gonna get us both killed.
Well then I'd rather die
believing in a lie
than live believing in nothing.
I'm so tired I could sleep for a
thousand years.
Let's just camp here, yeah?
We should get moving.
Why can't we stay here?
We're probably two days out from
the rendezvous. Maybe three.
This may be our last chance to
sync up with the others.
Yeah well I hope Z
gets it right this time.
Well we went
south.
They went west.
Hopefully we'll hook up
somewhere in the middle.
We got to angle west.
West is that way.
California's that way.
If it's still there.
Well if we can power up
somewhere
I can try to get in touch
with Z.
See if maybe I can get
an update on their location.
I sorta envy that dude.
So far away from all this.
Yeah, and all alone.
We're gonna go west.
We're gonna meet up
with the team.
We're gonna get Murphy
to that lab,
and then we are going to
cure this virus.
That's a lot of stuff
we're doing.
It sure is.
What about some of the
things we aren't doing?
What do you mean?
Like talking, for starters.
Lately it seems like you
can't even look at me.
Like right now.
Addy,
what's going on?
I told you, Mack.
I'm working through it, okay?
It's a big knot that
I'm just not sure
I want to untie right now.
Not everything is about you.
It's really beautiful.
Can we just stay here please?
Beauty attracts trouble.
You should know that.
Okay.
We should've stayed at
the... at the creek.
Thought we'd get farther on the
gas. That's on me. All right?
Addy, what are you looking at?
You okay?
Addy?
You okay?
Hmmm?
What?
It's like you go somewhere.
I mean what is it you see
exactly?
Mack, I'm too tired for this.
Addy.
Mack.
We need to talk about
when you drift off like this.
I mean obviously something is
tearing you up.
I might be able to help if I
knew what you were dealing with,
but you keep shutting me out.
Okay.
Okay.
It's a memory, I think.
I don't know what triggers it,
but whenever it happens
it's like...
it's like I go somewhere
where I've been.
And when I try to remember,
it just
it gets further and further
away.
What do you see?
It's the same thing.
It's over and over again.
It's dark.
There's... there's like a light.
And then a Z.
Like a really bad one.
And it's fighting.
Who's it fighting?
I don't know.
Maybe you.
Me, huh?
Yeah, I can never
make that part out. But
the Z will not die.
Can we... I'm sorry, can we talk
about something else?
Okay.
Sure, babe.
What would you
like to talk about?
We're not talking about me.
Talk about you.
This is probably gonna be
a short conversation.
I'll keep it going with
questions.
Ummm, okay. What...
If you could do anything,
what would you do right now?
Besides the obvious.
What would you do?
I'll tell you exactly
what I would do.
I would
take you out
to a great restaurant.
The best in town.
I mean dress up.
Shower.
Whole package, the whole deal.
I would open the doors for you.
I would pull out your chair.
We'd order some wine.
Have a great meal.
Order some more wine.
And then I would just...
I would just stare into your
beautiful eyes all night
and listen to you
talk about yourself.
Then we'd go back to our
fabulous pad and...
We never stood a chance, Mack.
Whoa.
Whoa.
Hold on.
What are you saying to me?
Think about it, like
our relationship.
What's it based on?
Do we even have
anything in common?
We're alive.
How's that for starters?
Yeah, but that's about it.
We met on the first night
of the outbreak.
We don't even know each other.
All we know is
zombies and mayhem.
Addy,
we've kept each other alive.
I mean no matter
how bad it's gotten,
we've been there for each other.
That's so much more of a bond
than any ring could give us.
Yeah, but...
we're trauma bonded.
We kill together,
we survive together, and
we have sex together.
But that's it.
That's all we have.
Yeah, we met on night one.
And I don't even remember that
night really. Like
for me it's just one blur of...
Okay.
Madness.
Yeah, yeah. I mean
that was bad, and and
we got a lot of
bad shit to go through
before this is all over.
But Addy,
I need you. I don't know what
you're talking about, we...
we never had a chance.
What do you mean by that?
I mean, babe, in three years
we have never thought about
anything past tomorrow.
You know until this
crazy mission came about,
which you know is
probably done
as far as we're concerned.
That doesn't mean we're done.
Yeah, but who are we kidding?
What...
what kind of future do
you and I have?
What are we gonna do?
We gonna get married?
Have some kids?
You can't even think about that
stuff.
It's crazy. It's impossible.
We have each other.
We've never been on a date.
No?
That's not gonna cut it.
Okay.
Stop.
Addison.
Do you have a middle name?
Yeah, I got a middle name.
What is it?
It's Grace.
Of course it is.
Addison Grace Carver,
will you go out with me?
On a date?
Mack.
I promise we won't kill a thing.
Okay. Shhh. You know what...
You just sit here and look
pretty. Don't go anywhere.
Where am I gonna go?
All right, Addy. You wanted a
date? Here is our first date.
No.
Addy?
Addy?
All right, that's fine.
You go ahead and get your sleep.
It's been a long apocalypse.
Mack!
Addy?
Addy?
Mack!
Addy?
Addy, you in here?
Addy?
What the hell?
Are those bites?
What bites a zombie?
Addy.
Addy?
Please tell me you did a
hit and run on this bastard!
Damn, dude.
Freaking Andre the Giant. Addy!
All right.
Baby, no.
Where'd you get that necklace?
Where did you get that necklace?
Huh?
Answer me,
you brain dead freak!
Oh, baby.
Okay.
Okay.
You're fine.
You're fine.
Mack!
Addy?
Addy? Where'd you go?
Addy!
Oh, wait a minute.
What?
I've been here.
Déjà vu.
Right.
Ha. Bite me.
Doesn't mean she's dead, Mack.
She could've given it
her best shot then bolted.
She's a smart girl.
Hey, ugly!
Addy.
You can have all the others!
You cannot have her!
She didn't deserve this.
Sometimes you're the windshield.
Sometimes you're the bug.
This is her necklace.
You can't have it.
No mercy.
Come on.
You on steroids?! Huh?!
I was brought up to compete
clean.
One foot to the right, Mack.
Go away.
I'll be dead soon.
Not soon enough.
Addy?
Addy?
Mack!
Damn it.
To the right.
To the right!
To the right, Mack!
Too far.
You again?
Mack!
Mack!
Mack!
I know that door.
Where have I seen
that door before?
What is it, huh?!
What do you want from me?!
What do you want from me?!
Huh?!
Answer me!
What is it Addy?!
You can't have her.
I won't let you.
Is there something behind that
door you don't want me to see?
Is that what this is?
What is it?
What is it, man? Is it Addy?
What is it you
don't want me to see?
Mack?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, ummm...
No.
I don't know.
You want to talk about it?
I had this dream.
It's more like a premonition
than a dream. You know it's like
a psychic nightmare.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Psychic?
Mack Thompson, world's most
skeptical man,
is having psychic premonitions?
Come here.
What are you doing?
Taking your temperature. I think you're
having a fever dream. Addy, come on.
This is serious.
I'm serious too.
Okay, if you haven't noticed,
we're in the middle of nowhere.
We have no water.
We have no food or fuel.
I can't have you falling apart
on me, babe.
I'm sorry.
I'm not falling apart
on you though.
I'm not.
It's just...
It just felt so real, you know?
You know it felt like it's about
something, you know?
It is about something.
It is. It has to be.
But I don't think it's the
future. I think it's about you.
I think your subconscious is
trying to tell you something.
Okay?
So let's... let's figure it out.
What happened?
Okay.
Ummm,
it's... It's one of these
dreams that keeps repeating,
you know like each time it's
a little bit different.
Each time I wake up next to you.
I look over and you're gone.
I hear you crying.
Okay, well that one's easy.
You don't...
don't need Freud or a
brain scan to figure that one out.
Mack, you're worried about me.
And listen,
I'm worried about you too.
But that's... that's
not just it.
That's just how it starts,
right?
And then I hear you, and you're
in some kind of trouble.
And then and then I hear this
sound, this like zombie howl
echoing off in the distance.
It's super creepy.
There it is. That's the sound.
There it is again. That sound.
I'm telling you,
that thing is out there.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's a zombie.
Okay so hey, hey listen.
Let's go kill it,
together.
Okay?
Watch, watch, watch. It's gonna
show up right over there.
You sure?
Any second.
Mack?
What? That's so weird.
It's... I've stood right here and
and and seen it every
time in my dream.
Right here!
Mack, listen. Mack!
Mack!
Mack!
This isn't right.
This was...
Is it here?
Stay back, stay back.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Mack, what are you looking for?
A snake.
It's here. It's... it's... it's
always right here.
Uh...
Uh...
You think I'm crazy, don't you?
No.
Maybe a little bit.
But Mack, hey listen, listen.
It's the world we're
living in. Okay
we're all a little bit crazy.
Something's not right.
Mack! Wait!
Mack!
Lock and load.
"This thing is badass.
6'7" maybe 280.
And when you hear a hawk,
you stand right next to me
because all hell's
about to break loose.
What's happening?
This is where it killed
me the last time.
Sounds horrible.
I'm glad that was just a dream.
Hey Mack, is that...
Is that the door
from your dream?
Yeah, that's it.
Maybe we should go
see what's inside.
I don't think that's
a good idea.
In your dream,
did you ever go inside?
No, Frankenzombie always killed
me before I made it that far.
Yeah, we should see.
No.
No, come on. What if this is
just a dream again?
I mean what if that thing is
just waiting in there
to kill us?
Mack, we can't both be having
the same dream, okay?
Because I'm awake.
Hey.
Addy.
You sure you want to do this?
Yeah, we've come this far. Don't
you want to know what's inside?
No. Whatever it is, it's bad.
So let's just... let's just
get out of here.
Mack, it was a nightmare.
There's probably
nothing bad in there.
But if we don't look,
we'll never know.
Addy, no.
Okay.
Okay, great, mystery solved.
I feel so much better now.
Can we go?
Dude.
Can't give up yet.
Okay. All right, Addy.
What do you see?
Uhhh.
I don't know.
It's so dark. Maybe
it's some kind of room,
but I can't tell.
Okay, well keep trying.
There's nothing in there.
Let's just go, okay?
Keep trying.
What is it?
Hang on. My eyes are still
adjusting. It's so dark in here.
It's pitch black.
Looks like a staircase
leading down.
No. No.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
Mack!
Addy?
Addy?
Don't! You're hurting me! Don't!
It bit me.
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?!
Why won't you die?!
Mack, wake up! Wake up!
Hey, hey, hey.
You're having a nightmare. Hey,
you're having a nightmare, okay?
You're talking in your sleep.
What was I saying?
Why won't you die,
why... why won't you die.
Mack?
Addy, there's something
I have to tell you.
Does it have to do
with the dream?
What is it?
Addy, I have to
ask you something.
Where
did this come from?
I am not afraid.
Don't! You're hurting me! Don't!
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
What happened?
Mack!
Mack, I need your help!
Hang on. Okay?
We're gonna get you help, okay?
Mack!
Somebody there?
What's wrong?
Mom?
Are you infected?
Did you do this to him?
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?
Addy?
Addy, where'd you go?
Mack!
Addy!
Hey, hey, hey.
Addy, baby, baby. Baby, what's
wrong? Hey, what's wrong?
Mack, I'm so sorry.
I thought it was you.
All this time
I thought it was you.
I know what the
flashbacks were about.
I thought it
was you, but it was me.
Oh my God, it was me.
It was me.
That first night...
I didn't know.
I didn't know. I
didn't know how to give mercy.
I didn't know you
had to kill the brain.
I just kept stabbing her
over and over and over again.
Oh my God.
I killed her, Mack.
Oh my God. Forgive me.
I killed my mom.
I killed her.
I call it the Z Whacker.
Look, I just don't
trust Murphy, okay?
There's something wrong
with that dude.
What if it's true?
What if Murphy's who
they say he is
and there's a chance
for a vaccine?
Cuz that's hope, Mack.
It's not hope. It's a lie, and
it's gonna get us both killed.
Well then I'd rather die
believing in a lie
than live believing in nothing.
I'm so tired I could sleep for a
thousand years.
Let's just camp here, yeah?
We should get moving.
Why can't we stay here?
We're probably two days out from
the rendezvous. Maybe three.
This may be our last chance to
sync up with the others.
Yeah well I hope Z
gets it right this time.
Well we went

No.

You go ahead and get your sleep.
It's been a long apocalypse.

Mack!
Addy?
Addy? Where'd you go?
Addy!
Oh, wait a minute.
What?
I've been here.
Déjà vu.
Right.
Ha. Bite me.
Doesn't mean she's dead, Mack.
She could've given it
her best shot then bolted.
She's a smart girl.
Hey, ugly!
Addy.
You can have all the others!
You cannot have her!

Go away.
I'll be dead soon.
Not soon enough.
Addy?
Addy?
Mack!
Damn it.
To the right.
To the right!
To the right, Mack!
Too far.
You again?
Mack!
Mack!
Mack!
I know that door.
Where have I seen
that door before?
What is it, huh?!
What do you want from me?!
What do you want from me?!

What is it you
don't want me to see?
Mack?
Hey.
Are you okay?
Yeah.
Yeah, ummm...
No.
I don't know.
You want to talk about it?
I had this dream.
It's more like a premonition
than a dream. You know it's like
a psychic nightmare.
Whoa.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Psychic?
Mack Thompson, world's most
skeptical man,
is having psychic premonitions?
Come here.
What are you doing?
Taking your temperature. I think you're
having a fever dream. Addy, come on.
This is serious.
I'm serious too.
Okay, if you haven't noticed,
we're in the middle of nowhere.
We have no water.
We have no food or fuel.
I can't have you falling apart
on me, babe.
I'm sorry.
I'm not falling apart
on you though.
I'm not.
It's just...
It just felt so real, you know?
You know it felt like it's about
something, you know?
It is about something.
It is. It has to be.
But I don't think it's the
future. I think it's about you.
I think your subconscious is
trying to tell you something.
Okay?
So let's... let's figure it out.
What happened?
Okay.
Ummm,
it's... It's one of these
dreams that keeps repeating,
you know like each time it's
a little bit different.
Each time I wake up next to you.
I look over and you're gone.
I hear you crying.
Okay, well that one's easy.
You don't...
don't need Freud or a

Mack, you're worried about me.
And listen,
I'm worried about you too.
But that's... that's

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
It's a zombie.
Okay so hey, hey listen.
Let's go kill it,
together.
Okay?
Watch, watch, watch. It's gonna
show up right over there.
You sure?
Any second.
Mack?
What? That's so weird.
It's... I've stood right here and
and and seen it every
time in my dream.
Right here!
Mack, listen. Mack!
Mack!
Mack!
This isn't right.
This was...
Is it here?
Stay back, stay back.
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Mack, what are you looking for?
A snake.
It's here. It's... it's... it's
always right here.
Uh...
Uh...
You think I'm crazy, don't you?
No.
Maybe a little bit.
But Mack, hey listen, listen.
It's the world we're
living in. Okay
we're all a little bit crazy.
Something's not right.
Mack! Wait!
Mack!
Lock and load.
"This thing is badass.
6'7" maybe 280.
And when you hear a hawk,
you stand right next to me
because all hell's
about to break loose.
What's happening?
This is where it killed
me the last time.
Sounds horrible.
I'm glad that was just a dream.
Hey Mack, is that...
Is that the door
from your dream?
Yeah, that's it.
Maybe we should go
see what's inside.
I don't think that's
a good idea.
In your dream,
did you ever go inside?
No, Frankenzombie always killed
me before I made it that far.
Yeah, we should see.
No.
No, come on. What if this is
just a dream again?
I mean what if that thing is
just waiting in there
to kill us?
Mack, we can't both be having
the same dream, okay?
Because I'm awake.
Hey.
Addy.
You sure you want to do this?
Yeah, we've come this far. Don't
you want to know what's inside?
No. Whatever it is, it's bad.
So let's just... let's just
get out of here.
Mack, it was a nightmare.
There's probably
nothing bad in there.
But if we don't look,
we'll never know.
Addy, no.
Okay.
Okay, great, mystery solved.
I feel so much better now.
Can we go?
Dude.
Can't give up yet.
Okay. All right, Addy.
What do you see?
Uhhh.
I don't know.
It's so dark. Maybe
it's some kind of room,
but I can't tell.
Okay, well keep trying.
There's nothing in there.
Let's just go, okay?
Keep trying.
What is it?
Hang on. My eyes are still
adjusting. It's so dark in here.
It's pitch black.
Looks like a staircase
leading down.
No. No.
Don't be afraid.
Don't be afraid.
Mack!
Addy?
Addy?
Don't! You're hurting me! Don't!
It bit me.
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?!
Why won't you die?!
Mack, wake up! Wake up!
Hey, hey, hey.
You're having a nightmare. Hey,
you're having a nightmare, okay?
You're talking in your sleep.
What was I saying?
Why won't you die,
why... why won't you die.
Mack?
Addy, there's something
I have to tell you.
Does it have to do
with the dream?
What is it?
Addy, I have to
ask you something.
Where
did this come from?
I am not afraid.
Don't! You're hurting me! Don't!
Oh my God.
Oh my God.
What happened?
Mack!
Mack, I need your help!
Hang on. Okay?
We're gonna get you help, okay?
Mack!
Somebody there?
What's wrong?
Mom?
Are you infected?
Did you do this to him?
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?
Why won't you die?
Addy?
Addy, where'd you go?
Mack!
Addy!
Hey, hey, hey.
Addy, baby, baby. Baby, what's
wrong? Hey, what's wrong?
Mack, I'm so sorry.
I thought it was you.
All this time
I thought it was you.
I know what the
flashbacks were about.
I thought it
was you, but it was me.
Oh my God, it was me.
It was me.
That first night...
I didn't know.
I didn't know. I
didn't know how to give mercy.
I didn't know you
had to kill the brain.
I just kept stabbing her
over and over and over again.
Oh my God.
I killed her, Mack.
Oh my God. Forgive me.
I killed my mom.
I killed her.
