The group worries about the hybrid baby's true nature, prompting Murphy to escape with his daughter.
Previously on Z Nation...
Cassandra.
What did you do to her?
Saved her life.
What did you do?
(GRUNTS)
You in there? Cassandra?
- Ohh! (MUNCHES)
- DOC: Party's over, everyone.
Here she comes! (SCREAMS)
Congratulations, Daddy.

You damn dirty zombies! Go!

♪ Oh-oh-oh-oh
Have mercy. ♪
(LUCY WAILS)
This was so wrong.
I'll take her now.
Oh, there you go. (CHUCKLES)
Adorable, isn't she?
Thought you didn't like babies.
I never said that.
Said I didn't like THAT baby.
But she's Daddy's precious
little angel, aren't you?
(MURPHY GIBBERS IN BABY TALK)
What?
I can't believe
people used to wear these.
I mean, they're cool and all.
- But what's the point?
- Storage.
Can you imagine
sitting in the theatre
behind someone wearing that?
No wonder
they shot Lincoln. (LAUGHS)
What? Too soon?
How's little Lucy?
Finished all her sugar water
like a good little girl.
Didn't you, Lulu? Yeah.
-(LUCY FARTS)
- Ohh! Ha-ha!
- That's my little stinker.
-(FARTS)
Have you smelled yourself
lately?
Please. Come on.
Get away from the big bad man.
MURPHY: Yeah. That's it.
Come on.
(MURPHY CHATTERS)
Oh! There you go.
-(CASSANDRA GROWLS LOWLY)
- Ohh ...
Hey, is anybody else
worried about the baby?
I don't know whether
to be worried for that baby
or afraid of that baby.
You see the way
she attracts Zs?
That baby -
and I use the word loosely -
is gonna get us all killed.
Bro, she's a baby. Relax.
Yeah. A baby sprung
from Murphy's loins.
She's not just a baby.
She's something else.
She could grow up to be
the saviour of the human race
or the queen of destruction,
and we need to find out which
and do what we gotta do.
You know,
fatherhood changes you.
It makes you want to be
a better man.
Yes.
-(GROWLS)
- Oh. Rub my feet, darlin'.
These dogs are barking.
Ohh...!
Oh.
(FLY BUZZES)
(TWIGS CRUNCH)
Caught some trout.
Kid, you are a fishing guru.
-(ADDY CHUCKLES)
- What's your secret?
Be one with the fish.
Far out.
(CHUCKLES) Attaboy.
DOC: Well, I got some foil
in here somewhere.
We're gonna fry
one of them bad boys up.
ADDY: Alright.
(WHISPERS) Hey.
We need to get a look at that baby.
ADDY: Yeah, well, good luck.
Super Dad over there
won't let anybody touch her.
I'm guessing he's afraid
we're gonna leave her behind.
ADDY: Which isn't something
that we're actually
considering doing, right?
Something tells me
she's gonna outlive us all.
OK.
Where's Vasquez?
Disappeared again.
I passed him in the woods,
heading south toward town.
Well, I'm gonna find out
where he keeps disappearing to.
And you two, see if you can't
get that baby away from Murphy.
- ADDY: Hey, Warren.
- Thanks.
Save me some fish.

WARREN: Sonofabitch. Zeros.
- Hey, Murphy.
-(STARTLES)
- Hey.
- How you doing?
- What do you want?
- Thought I'd give you a break.
- Hold little Lulu for a while.
- She's fine. We're fine.
Yeah, sure.
Hey, what is she chewing on?
I dunno.
Something she picked up.
- Is that a finger?
- Maybe.
(LUCY BURBLES AND COUGHS)
MURPHY: Come on. Come here.
-(CRIES)
- Great. You happy now?
- Uh!
- Shh,shh,shh,shh.
Look, Murphy, nobody's saying
you're a bad father.
We just think
it'd be a good idea
to give the baby
a little check-up, that's all.
There is nothing wrong
with little Lulu.
And since when are you
a paediatrician, huh?
ADDY: Murphy, she's just
had sugar water to eat.
- Let Doc have a quick look.
- She looks fine to me.
Takes a village.
I don't know what you're up to.
I don't like it.
- Stop following me!
- We're not following you.
You're afraid of her,
afraid of what she might become,
what we might become.
Don't forget -
I've seen how you treat babies.
And we've seen
how you treat humans.
-I'm not gonna let you hurt her.
- Murphy...
Shh, shh. The baby and I
are going for a walk.
Make sure they stay here.
- Nobody leaves.
- Nobody leaves.
Where do you think
you're going?
Someplace safe
from people like you.
(GROWLS)
(MOTOR REVS)
(MEN SHOUT IN SPANISH)
(LUCY SNARLS SOFTLY)
(LUCY CRIES)
It's OK. We don't need them.
Yeah. Daddy's got you.
And nothing and nobody's
gonna hurt you.
(SNARLING)
Get out of here,
you zombie varmints!
(LUCY CRIES)
Shh. Shh, shh, shh.
Well, that was creepy,
even for the apocalypse.
(LUCY WAILS)
Arggh!
(WHISTLES SOFTLY)
Ohh!
(GUNFIRE)
(GROANS)
(GROANS)
-(GUN CLICKS)
-(GROWLING)
(SCREAMS)
WARREN: You're hit.
Yeah, losing a lot of blood.
You too.
-(SNARLING IN DISTANCE)
- Gotta get out of here.
WARREN: Yeah, we gotta do
something about this bleeding,
but first,
we gotta get out of here.
- MURPHY: OK. Enough is enough.
-(LUCY BLUBBERS)
Oh-boo-boo-boo! Oh-boo-boo-boo!
- Yeah...
-(CRIES)
OK. Daddy really needs you to be
quiet now, OK? Shh, shh, shh...
There you go.
(ZOMBIES SNARL)
(GRUNTS)
Bad?
You?
Gotta stitch these wounds
or we're gonna bleed out.
Won't make it back to camp.
The ER is this way.
Think anything will be left?
No, but it'll be better
than out here.
We can hide from your friends.
(ZOMBIES ROAR)
ADDY: I think
we gotta go after him.
He shouldn't be out there alone,
especially not with the baby.
What about Little Miss Sunshine
over there?
DOC: He told her to stop us.
She can't stop
all of us at once.
I dunno. I think we should wait
for Warren and Vasquez.
They'll be here soon.
ADDY: We don't even know
where they are.
And what if something happens
to the baby?
Or Murphy?
He didn't take any food
for the baby.
Why would he not
take food for the baby?
Oh, he wouldn't do that,
would he?
We don't know
what he's capable of.
He's more zombie
than he is human.
I know, sweetie.
I miss Mommy too. Sort of.
But some day when
you're old enough, like 50,
I'll tell you
the whole horrible tale
about how I met your mother,
but right now,
I need you to shut
your little baby face.
Please? For Daddy?
- Come on.
-(LUCY CONTINUES CRYING)
(VASQUEZ GROANS)
No Zs around.
(GROANS)
Anything?
I don't think
they're following us.
We're safe for now.
(GRUNTING)
(SNARLING)
(SNARLING AND BANGING)
(GUNS CLICK)
-I'm out.
- Me too. Down to my special.
Now might be that special time.
We need sutures...
...bandages...
...and antibacterial anything.
Come on.
WARREN: Head to Optometry.
10K: There's three of us
and one of her.
If she tries to stop us...
...we'll do what we have to do.
What does that mean?
She's not Cassandra,
not anymore.
I don't know, man.
She is getting weirder.
DOC: And you've seen
how strong she is.
She would not hurt us,
not really.
I wouldn't be so sure.
We all run
in different directions.
She'll grab one of us.
The other two can go look for Murphy.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Alright. We're doing this.
I hope she doesn't overreact
and do something crazy.
(WHISPERS) Now.
Cassandra!
Stop! (SCREAMS)
Stop it! Stop! Ow!
(ADDY SCREAMS IN DISTANCE)
Arggh! Stop!
- Cassandra, stop it!
- Get off!
- What the hell were you doing?!
-(SOFTLY) Nobody leaves.
I told you, it's not her.
MURPHY: Of all
the horrible things
I have had to do
in the apocalypse...
...this is probably
the most horriblest.
(RIPS MATERIAL) OK.
Alright.
There you go.
OK?
(DOOR CREAKS)
(CLICK!)
(ROARS)
(SNARLING AND ROARING)
VASQUEZ: Found a suture kit.
Any painkillers?
Hold still.
This might hurt.
Actually, it will hurt.
How bad is it?
VASQUEZ: Missed the artery.
No passing out or dying on me.
Remember,
somebody's gotta sew me up.
Hey, Warren!
- You with me?
-(SNARLING IN DISTANCE)
Just a few more.
There.
(WARREN WHIMPERS)
(WARREN GROANS)
Hang in there, Warren.
You're doing great,
being a real man about it.
Woman can take more pain
than any man.
Scientific fact.
Arggh! Arggh!
Damn!
-(SNARLING AND THUDDING)
- Maybe you're right.
Alright.
That's it, hmm?
Bleeding's stopped.
Ohh... Better not leave a scar.
Hey, but don't worry.
It'll be a sexy scar.
(SIGHS) It'll do.
How's the arm?
Feeling's starting to come back.
What are we doing about 'it'?
We can't just stay here.
Who knows what Murphy's up to?
Could we try talking to her?
(SCOFFS) I don't think
she's in a talking mood.
She'll talk to me.
Get ready to run.
What the hell is he doing?
I don't know,
but when somebody tells me
to get ready to run,
I get ready to run.
(CASSANDRA HUMS SOFTLY)
- Cassandra?
-(GROWLS SOFTLY)
Cassandra, we need to talk.
You really hurt Addy, Cassandra.
Cassandra, listen.
We need to look for Murphy.
We want to help him,
but we need to find him first.
Nobody leaves.
-(SNARLS)
-(10K GRUNTS)
(WAILING IN DISTANCE)
- That didn't sound good.
- Oh, damn it.
Come on. Come on.
Cassandra...
(ROARS)
VASQUEZ: You know
to leave the bullet, right?
No Hollywood shit
trying to dig it out.
(MOANS)
Arggh-ha-ha-ha! Goddamn!
(GROANS)
What were you doing
out there?
Is this really
the time for that?
It'll distract you
from the pain.
You know what I was pre-Z?
Does it matter?
I was a DEA agent.
I worked cross-border
trafficking in Texas.
I was good at it,
busted a lot of cartel members,
worst of the worst.
Worked the US-Mexican task force
trying to dismantle
the Zero cartel.
(GROANS)
- Go on.
-(GROANS)
So the Zeros did
what they always do
when someone
gets in their way.
- Try to kill you?
- Tried to buy me.
Said I'd still do my job,
just busting their competition,
and they said
I'd make millions on the side.
So you said yes.
(GROANS) No. I said no.
So they made me
a different offer.
They...
They kidnapped my wife,
my baby girl.
Offered to let me
kill them quickly...
...or they'd kill them slowly.
Jesus.
Then one of the Zero shot-callers showed up.
He said he'd do me a favour,
but I'd owe him big-time.
I said, "Anything.
Just help my wife and child."
He said, "Deal."
Shot 'em right there
in front of me.
That was day one
of the zombie apocalypse.
My wife was the first person
I ever saw turn.
So you're trying to find the Zero
that killed your family?
Yeah, but I don't know
what he looks like.
He, uh...he wore a hood,
you know?
All I remember
is he had a tattoo of a face
on his shooting arm.
So was he one of the ones
we killed today?
(CHUCKLES)
No.
(VASQUEZ GROANS)
So how do you know
he's even alive?
Someone that evil?
He's alive.
- You're probably right.
-(SNARLING IN DISTANCE)
That's a...
effed-up horrible story.
How do I know
you're telling me the truth?
(QUIETLY) It doesn't matter.
Why not?
I think you took too long
sewing me up.
Come on. Don't die on me.
(LUCY BLUBBERS)
Go away, damn it!
We can hide in here.
Oh, excuse me. I'm...
-(HIGH-PITCHED TONE)
-(LUCY WAILS)
- MAN: Damn zombies.
- What?!
I said, "Damn zombies!"
Right.
(LUCY CONTINUES CRYING)
I guess you and the baby
better come inside.
- What?
- I said...
(LUCY BURBLES)
-(GUN CLICKS)
-lt's OK, Ma.
He's got
a little baby with him.
Oh. A little one.
She's afraid of strangers.
I'm sure she's hungry.
We've got some rabbit's milk.
Uh, that's very kind.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you so blue?
Vitamin deficiency?
We don't get many folks out here.
What's your business?
Could you point that
some other way?
Can. Won't.
You were telling me
your business.
Uh, my daughter and I
got separated from our group.
(COCKS GUN)
Don't you lie to me, mister.
I will kill you
right where you sit.
Just like that last fella.
- Thank you.
- Talk.
We left a group of survivors
that we were travelling with.
I think they wanted
to take my girl.
Her crying attracts zombies.
Well...
Now we're getting somewhere.
Where you headed?
I don't know. I just wanted
to get her away from them.
Don't mind me saying, mister,
that's not much of a plan.
You don't have no food,
no water, nothing?
No, not really.
I ought to shoot you
for bad parenting.
Listen, um...
I have an idea.
I can't take her
back to the group,
and I can't take her with me
where I'm going.
MURPHY:
You seem like good people.
You got a nice,
safe set-up here, a real home.
(TEARFULLY) Would you...
...would you take my daughter
and raise her?
Are you serious?
I've never been more serious
in my life.
Oh, Pa, could we?
MA: I know it's a burden, but...
...here she is,
a little angel
fallen into our lives.
Ohh...
What's her name?
It's Lucy.
BOTH: Lucy.
-(SNARLS)
-(GASPS)
-lt's OK. It's OK.
- PA: What the hell is it?
- Is she bitten?
- MA: I don't see anything.
But she's awful blue.
And her eyes...
OK, mister, you are going
to take your daughter
and you are going to leave
before I spill blood, OK?
- Just let me explain.
- I said go!
OK. OK. We're going.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh...
Shh,shh,shh,
shh,shh,shh...
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Can I ask one small favour...
...for Lucy?
(SNARLING AND BANGING AT DOOR)
I hope you find your wife
and your little girl.
I give you mercy.
(GAS PS)
(COUGHS)
Jesus, Warren.
I thought you were dead.
Guess not.
DOC: Uh-oh.
Well, they've definitely
been here alright.
- ADDY: God.
-(FLIES BUZZ)
OK. Alright.
Well, where did they
go from here?
Don't know.
It's hard to say.
- I wonder how 10K's doing.
- He's alright.
She wouldn't
really hurt him.
Ohh! (GROANS)
(MOURNFUL BLUEGRASS

Stop it! Ugh!
(SHOUTS)
(10K SHOUTS)
(SNARLS)
(ROARS)
(SQUELCH!)
(SCRAPING)
ADDY:
Well, we didn't find Murphy.
DOC: But we found these two.
WARREN:
And not a minute too soon.
We didn't have
much fight left.
What's that?
Cassandra.
Oh, my God. What happened?
I did what I had to do.
You mercied her?
- She gave me no choice.
- Saw that one coming.
She was our friend.
No. No, she wasn't.
Cassandra was our friend.
That wasn't Cassandra.
It's OK, kid. We understand.
Don't try to make me
feel better about it.
I don't want to feel
better about it.
There's nothing
to feel better about. Nothing.
That's what I want to feel.
MURPHY: What's going on here?
Where's Cassandra?
WARREN: She's dead.
WARREN: I'm sorry.
Dead?
How? What happened?
I mercied her.
You.
I gave her life.
And you had no right
to take that away.
She wasn't human.
THAT wasn't human.
Not since you bit her.
3,255.
(GROWLS)
Not right now.
(GROWLS SOFTLY)
Not now.
Where's the baby?
Where's Lucy?
You don't have to worry
about the baby anymore.
MA: I think this is
for the best, Pa.
PA: I agree, Ma.
It's the only decent thing to do.
That way, that nice fella
can get back to his friends
while Lucy is safe here with us.
Isn't she beautiful?
Oh!
We have to be
the two luckiest people
in the whole apocalypse.
Amen.
(WAILS)
Cassandra.
What did you do to her?
Saved her life.
What did you do?
(GRUNTS)
You in there? Cassandra?
- Ohh! (MUNCHES)
- DOC: Party's over, everyone.
Here she comes! (SCREAMS)
Congratulations, Daddy.
DOC: Murphy,
do your zombie voodoo thing!

Think anything will be left?
No, but it'll be better
than out here.
We can hide from your friends.
(ZOMBIES ROAR)
ADDY: I think
we gotta go after him.
He shouldn't be out there alone,
especially not with the baby.
What about Little Miss Sunshine
over there?
DOC: He told her to stop us.
She can't stop
all of us at once.
I dunno. I think we should wait
for Warren and Vasquez.
They'll be here soon.
ADDY: We don't even know
where they are.
And what if something happens
to the baby?
Or Murphy?
He didn't take any food
for the baby.
Why would he not
take food for the baby?
Oh, he wouldn't do that,
would he?
We don't know
what he's capable of.
He's more zombie
than he is human.
I know, sweetie.
I miss Mommy too. Sort of.
But some day when
you're old enough, like 50,
I'll tell you
the whole horrible tale
about how I met your mother,
but right now,
I need you to shut
your little baby face.
Please? For Daddy?
- Come on.
-(LUCY CONTINUES CRYING)
(VASQUEZ GROANS)
No Zs around.
(GROANS)
Anything?
I don't think
they're following us.
We're safe for now.
(GRUNTING)
(SNARLING)
(SNARLING AND BANGING)
(GUNS CLICK)
-I'm out.
- Me too. Down to my special.
Now might be that special time.
We need sutures...
...bandages...
...and antibacterial anything.
Come on.
WARREN: Head to Optometry.
10K: There's three of us
and one of her.
If she tries to stop us...
...we'll do what we have to do.
What does that mean?
She's not Cassandra,
not anymore.
I don't know, man.
She is getting weirder.
DOC: And you've seen
how strong she is.
She would not hurt us,
not really.
I wouldn't be so sure.
We all run
in different directions.
She'll grab one of us.
The other two can go look for Murphy.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Alright. We're doing this.
I hope she doesn't overreact
and do something crazy.
(WHISPERS) Now.
Cassandra!
Stop! (SCREAMS)
Stop it! Stop! Ow!
(ADDY SCREAMS IN DISTANCE)
Arggh! Stop!
- Cassandra, stop it!
- Get off!
- What the hell were you doing?!
-(SOFTLY) Nobody leaves.
I told you, it's not her.
MURPHY: Of all
the horrible things
I have had to do
in the apocalypse...
...this is probably
the most horriblest.
(RIPS MATERIAL) OK.
Alright.
There you go.
OK?
(DOOR CREAKS)
(CLICK!)
(ROARS)
(SNARLING AND ROARING)
VASQUEZ: Found a suture kit.
Any painkillers?
Hold still.
This might hurt.
Actually, it will hurt.
How bad is it?
VASQUEZ: Missed the artery.
No passing out or dying on me.
Remember,
somebody's gotta sew me up.
Hey, Warren!
- You with me?
-(SNARLING IN DISTANCE)
Just a few more.
There.
(WARREN WHIMPERS)
(WARREN GROANS)
Hang in there, Warren.
You're doing great,
being a real man about it.
Woman can take more pain
than any man.
Scientific fact.
Arggh! Arggh!
Damn!
-(SNARLING AND THUDDING)
- Maybe you're right.
Alright.
That's it, hmm?
Bleeding's stopped.
Ohh... Better not leave a scar.
Hey, but don't worry.
It'll be a sexy scar.
(SIGHS) It'll do.
How's the arm?
Feeling's starting to come back.
What are we doing about 'it'?
We can't just stay here.
Who knows what Murphy's up to?
Could we try talking to her?
(SCOFFS) I don't think
she's in a talking mood.
She'll talk to me.
Get ready to run.
What the hell is he doing?
I don't know,
but when somebody tells me
to get ready to run,
I get ready to run.
(CASSANDRA HUMS SOFTLY)
- Cassandra?
-(GROWLS SOFTLY)
Cassandra, we need to talk.
You really hurt Addy, Cassandra.
Cassandra, listen.
We need to look for Murphy.
We want to help him,
but we need to find him first.
Nobody leaves.
-(SNARLS)
-(10K GRUNTS)
(WAILING IN DISTANCE)
- That didn't sound good.
- Oh, damn it.
Come on. Come on.
Cassandra...
(ROARS)
VASQUEZ: You know
to leave the bullet, right?
No Hollywood shit
trying to dig it out.
(MOANS)
Arggh-ha-ha-ha! Goddamn!
(GROANS)
What were you doing
out there?
Is this really
the time for that?
It'll distract you
from the pain.
You know what I was pre-Z?
Does it matter?
I was a DEA agent.
I worked cross-border
trafficking in Texas.
I was good at it,
busted a lot of cartel members,
worst of the worst.
Worked the US-Mexican task force
trying to dismantle
the Zero cartel.
(GROANS)
- Go on.
-(GROANS)
So the Zeros did
what they always do
when someone
gets in their way.
- Try to kill you?
- Tried to buy me.
Said I'd still do my job,
just busting their competition,
and they said
I'd make millions on the side.
So you said yes.
(GROANS) No. I said no.
So they made me
a different offer.
They...
They kidnapped my wife,
my baby girl.
Offered to let me
kill them quickly...
...or they'd kill them slowly.
Jesus.
Then one of the Zero shot-callers showed up.
He said he'd do me a favour,
but I'd owe him big-time.
I said, "Anything.
Just help my wife and child."
He said, "Deal."
Shot 'em right there
in front of me.
That was day one
of the zombie apocalypse.
My wife was the first person
I ever saw turn.
So you're trying to find the Zero
that killed your family?
Yeah, but I don't know
what he looks like.
He, uh...he wore a hood,
you know?
All I remember
is he had a tattoo of a face
on his shooting arm.
So was he one of the ones
we killed today?
(CHUCKLES)
No.
(VASQUEZ GROANS)
So how do you know
he's even alive?
Someone that evil?
He's alive.
- You're probably right.
-(SNARLING IN DISTANCE)
That's a...
effed-up horrible story.
How do I know
you're telling me the truth?
(QUIETLY) It doesn't matter.
Why not?
I think you took too long
sewing me up.
Come on. Don't die on me.
(LUCY BLUBBERS)
Go away, damn it!
We can hide in here.
Oh, excuse me. I'm...
-(HIGH-PITCHED TONE)
-(LUCY WAILS)
- MAN: Damn zombies.
- What?!
I said, "Damn zombies!"
Right.
(LUCY CONTINUES CRYING)
I guess you and the baby
better come inside.
- What?
- I said...
(LUCY BURBLES)
-(GUN CLICKS)
-lt's OK, Ma.
He's got
a little baby with him.
Oh. A little one.
She's afraid of strangers.
I'm sure she's hungry.
We've got some rabbit's milk.
Uh, that's very kind.
What's wrong with you?
Why are you so blue?
Vitamin deficiency?
We don't get many folks out here.
What's your business?
Could you point that
some other way?
Can. Won't.
You were telling me
your business.
Uh, my daughter and I
got separated from our group.
(COCKS GUN)
Don't you lie to me, mister.
I will kill you
right where you sit.
Just like that last fella.
- Thank you.
- Talk.
We left a group of survivors
that we were travelling with.
I think they wanted
to take my girl.
Her crying attracts zombies.
Well...
Now we're getting somewhere.
Where you headed?
I don't know. I just wanted
to get her away from them.
Don't mind me saying, mister,
that's not much of a plan.
You don't have no food,
no water, nothing?
No, not really.
I ought to shoot you
for bad parenting.
Listen, um...
I have an idea.
I can't take her
back to the group,
and I can't take her with me
where I'm going.
MURPHY:
You seem like good people.
You got a nice,
safe set-up here, a real home.
(TEARFULLY) Would you...
...would you take my daughter
and raise her?
Are you serious?
I've never been more serious
in my life.
Oh, Pa, could we?
MA: I know it's a burden, but...
...here she is,
a little angel
fallen into our lives.
Ohh...
What's her name?
It's Lucy.
BOTH: Lucy.
-(SNARLS)
-(GASPS)
-lt's OK. It's OK.
- PA: What the hell is it?
- Is she bitten?
- MA: I don't see anything.
But she's awful blue.
And her eyes...
OK, mister, you are going
to take your daughter
and you are going to leave
before I spill blood, OK?
- Just let me explain.
- I said go!
OK. OK. We're going.
Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh, shh...
Shh,shh,shh,
shh,shh,shh...
Shh, shh, shh, shh.
Can I ask one small favour...
...for Lucy?
(SNARLING AND BANGING AT DOOR)
I hope you find your wife
and your little girl.
I give you mercy.
(GAS PS)
(COUGHS)
Jesus, Warren.
I thought you were dead.
Guess not.
DOC: Uh-oh.
Well, they've definitely
been here alright.
- ADDY: God.
-(FLIES BUZZ)
OK. Alright.
Well, where did they
go from here?
Don't know.
It's hard to say.
- I wonder how 10K's doing.
- He's alright.
She wouldn't
really hurt him.
Ohh! (GROANS)
(MOURNFUL BLUEGRASS
FOLK MUSIC)
Stop it! Ugh!
(SHOUTS)
(10K SHOUTS)
(SNARLS)
(ROARS)
(SQUELCH!)
(SCRAPING)
ADDY:
Well, we didn't find Murphy.
DOC: But we found these two.
WARREN:
And not a minute too soon.
We didn't have
much fight left.
What's that?
Cassandra.
Oh, my God. What happened?
I did what I had to do.
You mercied her?
- She gave me no choice.
- Saw that one coming.
She was our friend.
No. No, she wasn't.
Cassandra was our friend.
That wasn't Cassandra.
It's OK, kid. We understand.
Don't try to make me
feel better about it.
I don't want to feel
better about it.
There's nothing
to feel better about. Nothing.
That's what I want to feel.
MURPHY: What's going on here?
Where's Cassandra?
WARREN: She's dead.
WARREN: I'm sorry.
Dead?
How? What happened?
I mercied her.
You.
I gave her life.
And you had no right
to take that away.
She wasn't human.
THAT wasn't human.
Not since you bit her.
3,255.
(GROWLS)
Not right now.
(GROWLS SOFTLY)
Not now.
Where's the baby?
Where's Lucy?
You don't have to worry
about the baby anymore.
MA: I think this is
for the best, Pa.
PA: I agree, Ma.
It's the only decent thing to do.
That way, that nice fella
can get back to his friends
while Lucy is safe here with us.
Isn't she beautiful?
Oh!
We have to be
the two luckiest people
in the whole apocalypse.
Amen.
(WAILS)
