Z Nation (2014–…): Season 2, Episode 2 - White Light - full transcript

Following Citizen Z's on-air bounty announcement, it seems like everyone left who isn't a zombie is on the hunt for Murphy -- and they're not afraid to do whatever it takes to bring him in ...

Previously on Z Nation...

This is Citizen Z.
There is a man travelling among you.

His name is Murphy.

Your name wouldn't happen to be
Murphy, would it?

CITIZEN Z: His blood has the antibodies
to create a vaccine.

The Centers for Disease Control
is offering

an enormous bounty
for Murphy's safe delivery.

Keep alive at all cost.

Repeat. Keep him alive
at all cost.

DOC: Well, what do we do now, Chief?

We are going to find Murphy,
get him to California,



and they are going to make a vaccine
and save the world.

And I'm gonna kill any bounty
hunter that gets in my way.

(WIND WHISTLES)

(DOOR CREAKS)

(SNARLS)

Murphy!

Garage!

OK. It's like that, then.

Look out!

Look out, kid!

10K, Murphy!

What the hell is going on?!

It's a damn Murphy free-for-all!

(SNARLS)



- I think it's time we need to...
- Time to go!

(THEME MUSIC)

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

♪ Oh-oh-oh-oh
Have mercy. ♪

Alright. Split up.

Earl, you're with me.

The rest of you,
do what you gotta do.

But you make no mistake.

Any of you think you're gonna go bag
that buck yourself,

go running off
with the bounty,

trust me, 'cause as sure as we can find him,
we will find you.

And we will cut you open
and feed your insides to the dogs.

You feel me?

Just don't get all enterprising,
is what I'm saying.

Now, what do we do
when we find The Murphy?

Wes?

We smash his knees
till they break.

Or?

Or his feet.

Alright, whatever's easier.

Make for damn sure
he can't run no more.

(ALL LAUGH)

Then?

We sack his head
so nobody knows who he is.

That's what I'm talkin' about.

What do we do to anyone else?

- ALL: Put 'em down.
- To the ground.

Brothers, let's go huntin'!

(DOG SNARLS)

(ZOMBIES SNARL)

Shoo! Shoo! Go home!

(ZOMBIES SNARL)

(OCCASIONAL GUNFIRE)

Cut me some slack.

Excuse me, ma'am?

I was wondering if I may be able
to catch a ride with you.

(GAS PS)

(CASSANDRA ROARS)

(WOMAN SCREAMS)

Ah! Ow!

Stupid jerk!

You scared the hell
out of me, kid.

- Where am I?
- Don't worry. We got you now.

- What?!
- I said we got you now!

- I can't hear you!
- This is insane!

Why the hell is everybody
shooting at everybody?!

'Cause Murphy's
the golden goose!

Well, we're sitting ducks here.

We're gonna have to split up
into groups and keep moving.

-10K, are you alright?
- What?!

I think he's deaf.

Doc, you take him with you.

You guys, get to the alley
and cut east and advance north.

Mack and Addy, you guys take
the west side. We'll flush him out.

What about
the bounty hunters?

Kill them too!
On my call. We'll cover you.

(GUNSHOTS)

Three, two, one.

Go!

Ah!

Addy!

- Are you hit?
- Yeah, I'm good.

I'm good. Oh!

- I gotta get you movin'!
- OK! OK!

- Alright, ready?
-(GRUNTS)

Three, two, one.

You guys are killing me.

This way.

You guys ever consider
how annoying this might be?

I mean, seriously.
It's like a guy can't even think.

I appreciate it. I do.

But...

But this is my dance space.

And this is your dance space.

A little me time.
That's all I'm asking.

Well...

Hello, handsome.

(ZOMBIES SNARL)

Hey.

- Murphy?
-lt's gotta be.

Follow me.

- OK?
- OK. That way.

ADDY: OK.

-10K: This one?

Over here?

(DISTANT GUNFIRE)

(MAN SHOUTS IN THE DISTANCE)

The Zs must've followed him inside.

But I think I know a back entrance -
might be safer.

Can you hear
anything I'm saying?

-(LOUDLY) What?!
{GUNSHOT)

Jesus! This is ridiculous!

What the hell
are we doing here?

That's a rhetorical question.
Alright, ready?

One, two, three.

Second floor.

to come to the aid
of their country.

Well, that's enough of that.

Oh. What the hell?

The last rodeo?

Time to assume room temperature.

Oh, hey.

There's a thing
at the top of the shelf.

Hey, man! Get that thing!

(DOC GASPS)

What's up, Doc?

What? Are you OK?
