Z Nation (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 15 - All Good Things Must Come to an End - full transcript

Previously on Z Nation...

El Murphy - the saviour.

I have been looking for you
for a very long time.

I'm Javier Vasquez.
You killed my family.

ESCORPION:
I should've killed you too.

- That's it? -That's it.
- Doesn't look very high-tech.

Maybe it's just another front
for an underground lab.

One last cosmic joke
at my expense.

Either way,
we're gonna check it out.

Would you like some tea
and finger sandwiches?

Put the weapon you got under
the counter on top of the bar.



-(WIND BLOWS)
-(FIRE CRACKLES)

Delta X-ray - Addy, do you copy?

-(RADIO STATIC)
- Anybody copy?

(STATIC)

Citizen Z,
down to my last battery.

If you can hear this broadcast,

tell the package
to abort mission.

Repeat. Abort mission.

Location compromised.

-I...
-(RADIO STATIC STOPS)

All good things
must come to an end.

(CLANG!)

(MURPHY SIGHS)
What is taking so long?

DOC: I hope it's not another
top-secret underground lab.



That last elevator
made me nauseous for a week.

Whatever it is,
I just want to get it over with.

10K: Got that right.

(TAPPING)

- How's your tea, dear?
- Excellent. Thank you.

- What brings you to California?
- Just passing through.

Ah. (CHUCKLES)

What's the matter, young man?
You don't like tea?

I like tea just fine.
It's surprises I don't like.

Nothing out of the ordinary.
Except her.

10K: Here she comes.

Here we go.

Gotta say,
kinda like the new you.

You don't want to meet
the new me.

So, is this
a real working restaurant?

Well, except for Black Summer,

we've been in continuous operation
since 1967.

We've had a limited menu
at times. But...

Where you folks from?

- New York.
- New York?

I didn't know anybody could
still be from New York.

Upstate. The city's gone 100% Z.

Oh. Long drive.

- What was it like out there?
- Nothing but Zs.

And those soon to become Zs.

Wasn't there anybody safe?
Anywhere?

There are. Few and far between.

So, what does bring you
to California?

(VEHICLE APPROACHES
AND STOPS)

-(CAR DOORS OPEN)
- Bounty hunters.

Oh. Busy day. (CHUCKLES)

- Can I get you boys some tea?
- You got any brown liquor?

Oh, I think I can squeeze some
out of the still.

Are you Auntie?

- I am.
- We heard you're the one to talk to about The Murphy.

- MAN: Show her.
-(ZOMBIE GROWLS)

We're here to claim our bounty.

Let me get you those drinks.

(SNARLS)

(THEME MUSIC)

- SONG: ♪ Have mercy... ♪
-(THREE GUNSHOTS)

♪ Oh-oh-oh-oh
Have mercy. ♪

MAN: Another round of drinks
for my men.

This time,
make it the clear stuff.

Hey. We're celebrating over here.

How 'bout I buy you a drink?

No, thanks. I already got one.

Well, if you won't come
drink with me,

you won't mind
if I just mosey on over

and have a drink with you?

Relax, fellas.
I'm gonna buy you a drink too.

Hell, drinks for everyone.

Don't worry about The Murphy.
We got him sedated.

(GRUNTS)

How about a toast?
To The Murphy.

- To The Murphy.
-(GLASSES CLINK)

(GRUNTS)

Hey, Auntie,
we could use some music.

-(SLOW POP SONG PLAYS)
- Yeah, that's better.

(SNIFFS) So, what brings you folks here
to Auntie's?

Passing through.

Well, you sure are a shy one.

How 'bout a dance there,
shy girl?

-(GRUNTS)
- Come on, baby.

It's a slow song.

No, no, no, no. I don't dance.

Hey, Shy girl.

Shy girl.

- Think fast.
-(GRUNTS)

(WEAPONS CLICK)

MAN: Now, that's interesting.

Shy girl here moves,
my Murphy moves the same way.

Like they're connected or something.
It's interesting.

Why don't you take off that hat?

- No.
-(MAN LAUGHS)

Take off the hat.

God. Phew!

Wow, that's life-like.
That's good work.

Hell, if I didn't know
any better,

I'd think you were
the real deal.

You wouldn't be hiding any bites
under that dress, would you?

Take off the dress.

Take off the dress.

(MURPHY SIGHS)

(GROWLS)

-(SNARLS)
-(GUNFIRE)

(MUSIC STOPS ABRUPTLY)

AUNTIE: That'll be enough of that.
(COCKS WEAPON)

Put down your weapons.

Please.

Your name Murphy?

Yeah.

Well, it's about time.

-(MAN MOANS)
-10K?

I've been shot.

Don't move, kid.
I'll try to stop the bleeding.

WARREN: Auntie,
do you have a first aid kit?

Where you going?

(WHISPERS) OK.

(FLARE WHISTLES)

Who are you signalling?

Dr Merch.

And what's left of
the Mount Wilson CDC lab.

- He's losing a lot of blood.
- Can you do anything?

Way out of my league.
Sorry, kid.

Maybe the submarine
has a surgeon.

They're bound to have
a sick bay.

What's the deal with
this submarine anyway?

Is that where Dr Merch
has been hiding this whole time?

AUNTIE: Sorry, hon.
That's classified.

MURPHY: Classified?
From who? The zombies?

AUNTIE: Uh...

-(GRUNTS)
-(PANTS)

-say goodbye, Pup.
-(WHINES)

'Cause we ain't coming back.

(GRUNTS)

WARREN: Alright, Doc,
you stay with 10K.

Vasquez and Addy,
you guys cover us.

AUNTIE:
Dearie, put your guns away.

They have a nuclear submarine.

WARREN: She has a point.

Hey.

You ready?

No.

But when did that ever matter?

(DOOR OPENS)

- Cap'n.
- Auntie.

Looks like you had
a busy morning.

Well, I have had
a bit of a lunch rush.

That's not him, is it?

No, sir.

Lieutenant Roberta Warren,
Missouri National Guard.

We have the package here.

Safe.

MAN: So, you're The Murphy?

Actually, it's just Murphy.

I don't know where this whole
'The' came from.

- We have a wounded man.
-l'm the ship's doctor.

Let me take a look at him.

MAN: Lot of people been
looking for you, Mr Murphy.

Well, you've found me.

Now what?

First, we have to make sure
you are who you say you are.

Oh...

l am.

How do we know you are
who you say YOU are?

I understand your reluctance,
Lieutenant Warren.

We've been tracking Delta X-ray Delta
for two years.

If I'd been through
what you'd been through,

I'd make damn sure
I was giving that package

to the right person too.

Doctor, would you mind
joining us?

- Is that him?
- I don't know.

I'm sorry.

I only saw him for a minute
before we were evacuated.

MERCH: Everything was so chaotic.
There was...

Perhaps this'll jog your memory.
Pike me! Pike me!

Or I will hunt you down
and eat your brains!

- That's him.
- Satisfied?

Very.

Now let's get you back to the sub.
We got a lot of work to do.

What happened to your Delta Force escort,
Lieutenant Hammond?

He didn't make it.
A lot of people didn't make it.

Easy, easy.

Hey.

It's OK.

I need your word that
he will be treated humanely.

He may be The Murphy
but he still is a human being.

You have my word,
Lieutenant Warren.

We'll treat him like the celebrity
he's about to become.

(SNIGGERS) Celebrity.
You hear that?

I'm about to become
the first post-apocalyptic reality star.

Yay, me.

Well, don't forget
the little people.

It's gonna be OK, kid.
They got a real surgeon.

They're gonna fix you up.
I'm his physician.

-I'm gonna need to go with you.
- Sorry, sir.

- We barely have room for these two.
- But I have to...

Don't worry.
We'll take good care of him.

MURPHY: Hey.

Sorry about your family.

DOC: Whoa, whoa. Hey!

That's it? No goodbye? Nothing?

A handshake? After all the shit
we've been through?

Hey.

I have something for you.

I knew it. Damn it, Murphy.

Just trying to survive, man.

I got something for you too,
brother.

(SNIFFS)
In case you get seasick.

- Thank you, brother.
- Take care.

We're ready, Mr Murphy.

WARREN: Psst!

Thank you.

For everything.

You better get going.

Who knows?

Maybe I'll actually enjoy
doing some good.

Counting on you.

- Amen.
- No shit.

So that's it, then, huh?

I hope the kid's gonna be OK.

He will. Let's get these bodies
out of here.

Well... At least there's no harm
done to the gene pool.

(SIGHS) I give you mercy.

Hey. What about
this poor blue sonofa...

-(GUNSHOT)
- Ohh! Ah!

(AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE)

Bounty hunters?

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

No. Zeros.

- Lots of 'em.
-(GLASS SHATTERS)

-(GUNFIRE STOPS)
-(LA REINA SINGSONGS) Warren.

Warren.

- Come and get some mercy.
-(GUNSHOT)

So remember,

there's no such thing as death.

There is only eternal life
for La Reina de la Muerte.

So bring me El Murphy.

(MUFFLED SLOW-MOTION GUNFIRE)

-(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)
- Now!

AUNTIE: Everybody inside!

VASQUEZ: Come on, come on.

How the hell did they find us?!

(GUNFIRE STOPS)

Well, my hat's off to you,
Dr Kurian.

Once again,
you've proven your value.

I must admit,
I can't believe I'm getting

such good directions
from a head in a box.

My Queen...

- Uh...
- Wait.

Hey, d-d-d-de.

Where are you, little kitty?

Ohh!

There you are, pretty pretty.

(SIGHS) Violence at such a range
is so impersonal.

Where's the dignity?

- Ammo? Who's got what?
-l'm good. Doc?

Well, I'm OK,
but I left my bag out there.

I don't know how far I'll be able to chuck
the damn crowbar.

I'm out.

Without range, this cover
won't do us much good.

AUNTIE:
Well, if you just asked nicely.

Well, aren't you
full of surprises?

Well, I'm a little low on ammo.

But I think we can give 'em hell
in the meantime.

Alright. Let's rock'n'roll.

WARREN: The fact
that they haven't started

beating down these doors yet

worries me more than
if they just kept attacking.

Mindless mayhem, we can handle.

Whatever the hell
they're planning,

I'm not so sure.

MAN: Young male, a single
large-calibre gunshot wound

to the abdomen -
pulse weak, irregular.

He's lost a lot of blood.

- MURPHY: He gonna be OK?
- They'll do everything they can.

Now we need to leave.

We'll make sure to get him back
to his friends in one piece.

- Your man's in good hands.
- He's not my man.

He's just a by-product
of the apocalypse

I couldn't seem to shake.

Follow me.

CAPTAIN: We've been waiting for you
a long time, Mr Murphy.

Yeah, well,
I got a little sidetracked.

Have there been any side effects
from the vaccine?

Side effects?
Lady, I am a giant walking side effect.

- Any cravings?
- You mean for brains? No.

Who are you working for?

- Thought the US government collapsed years ago.
- It did.

The whole idea of a nation state
is a thing of the past.

A new world is rising
from the ashes of the old.

A better world. Zona.

Zona?

I've heard of that.
This crazy pilot in Roswell.

He was gonna fly
some experimental aircraft

back to Zona.

We thought he was nuts.
Zona's real?

Zona is more than just real.
It's the future.

Early in the apocalypse,

a group of visionary
world leaders and businessmen

embarked on a plan
to save humanity.

Together, they created
a zombie-free island

where the seeds of the next human race
have been planted.

What about the old human race?

Time may be running out.

The pilot you met
was part of a larger plan

to recover advanced technology
and cultural heritage

before it's lost forever.

Unfortunately,
both tend to be very fragile.

We're in a race against time
to hold on to what makes us human.

(CLANG!)

Sorry. My bad.

So if we are going to save
the human race,

maybe we'd better get started.

Anybody tries to come in
that front door

is stepping right into
our kill box.

(SHOUTING IN SPANISH)

Now what are they up to?

Hey, Roberta!

Hey. It's not you I came after,
just Murphy, hm?

I only want Murphy.

You give him to me
and we can still be friends.

Too late, chica. He's gone.

Donde esta Murphy?

(FIRES)

Shit. Missed.

Ready.

-(MEN SHOUT IN SPANISH)
- Machetes.

Go.

(SCREAMING)

(GUNFIRE)

That's it!

Nobody comes into my house
and shoots up my stuff!

Nobody! Die!

Nice shooting!

(GROWLS)

- Ah!
"(SNARLS)

-Aah!
-(GASPS)

(PANTS)

Mercy.

(CRASH!)

Are you comfortable?

Perfect.
Just like when I was a kid.

I'm gonna need a few samples
of your blood to run some tests.

I'm all yours.

This should be interesting.

What's the deal
with the crew?

- Their eyes.
-lt's a side effect

from one of the early vaccines
given to everyone on Zona.

- But not you?
- I've never been.

I've only seen
the inside of this sub

since we evacuated Mount Wilson.

How do you even know
Zona's real, then?

I worked for some of the people

who first founded Zona
before the outbreak.

They're the only ones left with
enough power and resources

to stop this plague.

We almost had it.

But the vaccine
only slows down the virus.

It doesn't kill it
or make you immune.

Some of the earliest people
vaccinated

are losing their immunity
and starting to turn,

including the founder of Zona.

That's why we need you.

I thought the vaccine
was for all of humanity.

It will be.

Have you had
any major childhood diseases?

Measles? Mumps? Chickenpox?

Yes, yes and, I think, yes.

I was sick all the time when I was a kid.
I had everything.

Mono, whooping cough,
poison ivy, you name it.

Any sexually transmitted
diseases?

The usual.

You don't have to
go into detail.

The tests will tell me more.

Any children?

These are
awfully personal questions.

You mind?

A little privacy?

Would you mind?
We'll only be a minute.

(SOFTLY) Jesus.

I thought you might be different
than Dr Kurian.

- But I was wrong.
- You've met Dr Kurian?

Oh, we're old buddies, he and I.

I know all about you two.

- He's still alive?
- Sort of.

-(GASPS)
- I did not spend three years

fighting my way across 10,000 miles
of zombie-crazed America

just so I could be
a human blood bag

for a few billionaires
in Hawaii.

What are you gonna do?

What I should have done
a long time ago.

(KURIAN MUMBLES)

Uh. (STOPS MUMBLING)

(AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE)

(BOTH FIRE)

(AUTOMATIC GUNFIRE)

-(PANTS)
-(DOOR OPENS)

-(GUN CLICKS)
- Shit!

-(GUNFIRE)
-(GLASS SHATTERS)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTS AND GASPS)

(HEAD CLATTERS)

(ADDY GRUNTS)

Ooh! (GROWLS)

-(GUNSHOT)
-(THUD!)

-(SKULL STAFF CLATTERS)
-(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENS)

(LA REINA SINGSONGS) Roberta.

(SIGHS)
Oh, it's so good to see you.

- Can we talk? Like sisters?
- We can.

As you can see, I am unarmed.

You're not going to shoot me,
are you?

You know, I've missed you.

We would have made
a wonderful team.

But it is not too late. Hmm?

You come join me.
Be my consigliere.

Escorpion is dead.
I need you. Hmm?

Help me find The Murphy.

(LAUGHS)

Ah. Too late.

- He's gone.
- Gone where?

We gave him to the CDC.

That was a big mistake.

Not my first one.

-(LA REINA SCREAMS)
-(WARREN GRUNTS)

- Ahh!

{GRUNTS)
- Ugh!

{GRUNTS)
- Ugh!

(CRASH!)

(BOTH GRUNT)

(LA REINA MUTTERS)

Ugh! (GRUNTS)

-Ohh!
-(PANTS)

We could have been...
such good friends.

-(SCREAMS)
-(SPLAT!)

(GASPS)

-(THUD!)
-(LA REINA COUGHS)

Escorpion?

No, mi Reina.

Soy Hector.

(SIGHS)

(SPEAKS SPANISH)

-(WIND HOWLS)
-(MOANS)

- Thank you.
- De nada.

- Wait!
-(GROANS)

- Leave a zombie do a man's job.
- He saved my life.

- I don't care.
- Well, ding dong. The bitch is dead.

You killed your queen? Why?

She wasn't my queen.

Not since she got
Kurian's vaccine.

I followed them here through
all their death and destruction.

She wasn't human anymore.

None of them were.

I won't rob you of your revenge.

You've earned it.

Escorpion deserves to die
for what he did to you.

What I did to your family.

If you want to kill me,
you go right ahead.

I've been a one-man apocalypse
all my life.

I'm not afraid to die.
Death - shit, that's all I know.

I know it don't mean shit,

but I apologise.

I'm not that man
who killed your family, man.

That man is dead.

Killed by the Zs when you
threw me down that hole.

In that one second,

I saw every horrible,
malicious thing I ever did

and I wanted to die
right there and then.

But I knew if my life
were to have any meaning,

I had to get out of there.

I had to survive and make up
for all the things that I did.

Maybe this is how I do it.

Do me a favour, man.

You pull that trigger.

(COCKS RIFLE)

Do what you have to.

But who are you gonna be...
after you pull that trigger?

(GUNSHOT)

What happened?

- I couldn't do it.
- I know.

I'm glad.

Not for him. For you.

- Never did show you this, did I?
- No.

She's beautiful.

They both are.

Come on. We better get going.

My mission is over.

Yeah.

So is mine.

You better go.

Well, I ain't gonna say goodbye.

Me neither.

Well...

Watch out for those
puppies and kittens, huh?

I will.

- What happened?
-ls he alive?

WARREN: He's alive.

He's not coming.

Well, what do we do now, chief?

I don't know.
I'm not in charge anymore.

(SCOFFS)

(ALARM BLARES)

-(ALARM BLARES)
-(CLATTER)

Need a ride?

Got enough food, ammo
and Z-Weed for a month.

I'm in.

Well, look - if we need to,
we kill him and take the truck.

WARREN: We're only going
as far as the beach.

I like the beach.

(ZOMBIES GROWL)

-(GLASS SHATTERS)
-(ALL GROWL)

(GROWLS)

(SIGHS) Think 10K's alright?

Big sub like that,
gotta have a real medical team.

Well, I hope
they don't bleed him dry.

I hate to admit it,
but I kinda miss Murphy.

Really?

Didn't get to know him
too well,

but he seemed like
kind of a dick.

- That doesn't look good.
-ls it submerging?

No. It's sinking.

- Murphy.
-10K.

Is that a boat?

It's Murphy. He has Dr Merch
and the sub captain.

What about 10K?

(MUFFLED EXPLOSION)

(DOC GASPS)

Tell me he's on that boat.

Doc, tell me
10K is on that boat!

I don't see him.

- Hey, check it out.
-(JET ENGINES ROAR)

- Those don't look American.
- They're not.

(MAN SHOUTS IN MANDARIN)

- What do you suppose they want?
- What do you think?

(WIND HOWLS)

Drink your tea up.
Drink your tea up.

(ZOMBIES GRUNT)

(LUCY LAUGHS) Bad Zombie!

(ROCK MUSIC)
