Z Nation (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 10 - They Grow Up So Quickly - full transcript

I think I'll call her Lucy.

Previously on Z Nation.

Would you take my daughter
and raise her?

We have to be the two luckiest
people in the whole Apocalypse.

We got to find Lucy

before the rest of the world
finds out about her.

Keep her safe.
Contact us by radio.

I know The Man.

I am pretty hard to miss.

I wanna know who exactly in Zona
you were working for.

Is that Lucy?



Can't we get through
one day in the Apocalypse

without getting shot at?

I won't hesitate to shoot you.
Lucy needs some new friends.

What do we do with them?

You two try anything stupid

or even look like
you're gonna try something,

I will mercy you in a heartbeat,
and never mind the mess.

Let's go.

I have got to bite me a
secretary.

Where are those progress
reports?

Good, you're here.

I don't know why there's so much
paperwork to do.

You know, I think we should
just get rid of all the paper

and go back to using



whatever it is they were using
before paper was invented.

Yeah, that's right. You never
were one for small talk.

You can sit down, you know.

Sit down.

We need to talk about something.
And by something, I mean you.

You're not like others.

They've accepted being blends.
Embraced it even.

It's the best thing that ever
happened to them.

But you...

When you've had a booster
shot, you're a pain in the ass.

And when you haven't, you just
sort of fade into oblivion.

If I didn't know any better,

I'd say your heart's not in it.

You react,

but you don't act.

I need you to take the
initiative here.

We are preparing to go to war.

And you should be the hero at
the front of my army.

My Ajax. My Achilles.
My Luke Skywalker.

It's a problem.

And we need to fix it.

And I think I know how.

I think it's that stupid name.

Ten thousand.

10K isn't just a name to you.
It's your mission.

It's your purpose.

But as far as I can see,
as long as you're 10K,

you're no good to me.

I think you need a new goal.

A new purpose.

You thought it was killing
10,000 zombies, but it's not.

That's an outmoded
way of thinking.

The world has moved
past that sort of thing.

So I have decided

to give you a new mission.

Thomas.

First,

I need to know
that I can trust you.

I got a couple questions.

And if I don't like the answers,

Ma here is gonna shoot you.

We may seem like
simple country folk

and you think you can fancy talk
your way out of this.

I want to disabuse you
of that notion.

We aren't playing games here.

Isn't that right, Ma?

That's right, Pa.

Be square with us,

and I won't have to scrub
your blood off that rug.

Yes, ma'am.

We're not here to cause
any trouble.

You both seem like
really nice folks.

And don't think you're gonna
charm your way out of this

neither. No.

No, ma'am.

Now,

tell us who you are

and where you folks are from.

I'm Addy. And this is Doc.

We started up in New York.

A small survivor community
upstate.

We had water and solar power.

Now I told you
not to play with us.

There's no way anyone could
make it here from New York.

No. No, it's true.
We're traveling with Murphy.

We're part of his mission.

Murphy?

As in The Murphy?

The same one.

How'd you know we were here?

Murphy sent us.

To get his daughter,

Lucy.

That is Lucy, isn't it?

You know, I helped deliver her.

You talked to the
great man himself?

Well, I don't think I'd call him
great.

What I meant to say is

I wouldn't describe him as just
great. No, no, he's amazing.

So how'd you come to meet him?

Well, he came to our camp in
New York looking for help.

Yeah, he, he asked us to
take him to California.

That's a long trip.

That must be at least

a hundred miles.

It's a few thousand miles.

Wow.

That's really really
really really far.

You must be really brave.

Are you a...

Are you a princess?

Sitay, Easllyray,
Ucylay, Alkingtay.

What's happening?
Are you having a stroke?

He said it's really Lucy
talking. Can I kill them now?

Now Lucy, honey,

you know we were there with
your daddy when you were born.

Which, by the way, is very
strange.

She's about five years older
than she should be.

They grow up fast,
that's for sure.

Ain't that the truth.

And Lucy grows faster than most.
Especially when she gets excited.

Which is why Mr. Murphy left her
here with us.

It's nice and quiet

and peaceful out here in the
country.

Except for the zombies.

The zombies love little Lucy.

They protect her
and keep this place safe.

Do some of the chores too.

It's a little slice of heaven
we have here.

Which is why we don't like
strangers coming to our door.

Now, finish what you were
saying about Mr. Murphy

supposedly sending you.

That's right. He sent us to
get Lucy and keep her safe.

We've come here
to take you with us, honey.

Do you want to go
on a little trip?

Can I, Pa? Can I go with them?
I want to go see my daddy!

Well, now sweetheart,
I don't know.

We got to make sure these two
are telling the truth first.

How would we know all that
if Murphy didn't tell us?

Well you got a point.

There is some truth
to what you're saying.

Great. Then you can
untie us now?

Cuz these ropes are chafing
like nobody's business.

Just tell us the password.

And then we'll get you loose
and see about taking little Lucy

to see her real daddy.

The password?

When he left little Lucy
with us,

Mr. Murphy said he might send
someone to get her one day.

Gave us a password, so we'd know
they was the real deal.

Right. Right, of course.

The password.

Addy, remember the password?

Definitely. Definitely.

Go ahead,
tell them the password.

Umm... Well,
the password is...

Smurf.

Well,

Isn't that a relief, Ma?

Is surely is, Pa.

I was starting to worry
for a minute there.

Me too. Well,
I'm glad all that's settled.

See, I told you.

Guess you ought to
cut them loose.

Good idea, Ma.

Cut them loose.

Yeah, that's a fine idea.

Yeah, just glad we're on the
same page.

Is there a problem?

Yeah.

There seems to be
a little glitch

in how things are proceeding.

What kind of glitch?

Well, the glitch in that
that is the wrong password,

and you're a lying son of a gun
who's about to meet his maker!

Hold up, Pa. Hold up.

Don't do anything you're gonna
regret!

What is it, Ma?

Turn his chair around
so he's facing the other way.

That way the blood won't spray
on anything nice.

Yeah. Good idea, yeah.

Wait!

Wait, wait! Murphy must've
given us the wrong password.

Can I try again?

I knew that story about New York
was z-pucky.

Listen.

Settle down, you.

I'll telling you,
this is a big mistake!

Now Lucy, sweetheart,
do you want to see your daddy?

Because we can't take you if
anything happens to Doc.

I promise to do it quickly.

Close your eyes, Lucy.
You shouldn't see this.

Well at least take her
out of the room!

I want to play with them.

Honey, I don't think that's
a good idea.

I think these two mean you harm.

It'd be best to let Pa put them
out of their misery, sweetheart.

No! Play!

Okay, sweetie pie.
Whatever you say.

Thank you, Lucy.
That was very nice of you.

Play!

Okay.

Play time. Play time.
Play time.

Don't think you two are out of
the frying pan yet.

Ok.

Let's go meet my friends!

I got a pirate and a knight and
a tea party and my play pals.

You got a lot of
imaginary friends, sweetheart.

Silly, they're not imaginary.

Don't be afraid.
They're my friends.

Be nice.

Honey, listen, I don't think
your friends are gonna

like us very much.

That's right, sweetie.
The zombies are dangerous to us.

No, they're not.

Whoa!

Now, Lucy, we're not like you.
They think that we're food.

No, they're my friends.

Tea time.

Sweetheart, wouldn't you
rather...

Drink, drink, drink.

Yum. So delicious.

Hey, do you think we could
maybe go inside now?

No. Let's play a game.

Yes, that's great. What kind
of game you wanna play?

You wanna play patty cakes?

Hide and seek.

Hide and seek with zombies?

Wouldn't you rather
play go fish?

No.

Hide and seek! You're it.

You have to count to ten
while we hide.

Cover your eyes.
And no peeking.

Okay.

Start

now!

One Mississippi.

Hide hide, hide!

Two Mississippi.

Three Mississippi.
You have to hide.

Four Mississippi.

Five Mississippi.

Do you know the knife game?

Show me.

If it were any of the other
blends,

there wouldn't be a question.

But you and I have a history.

And I need to know that won't
interfere with things.

I need to know what you are
willing to do for me.

I need to know that you are
willing to kill for me, Thomas.

Or die for me.

Nine Mississippi.

Ten Mississippi.

Ready or not, here I come.

Not that way.

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

Tag.

Enough!

Good thing this isn't
your trigger hand.

Now,

let's talk about your
new mission.

You need to back off.

Back off, girl.
Don't make me hurt you.

Back off, girl.

Lucy! Call her off!

Lucy!

Get your raggedy ass...

Off me!

Hey, hey, you okay?

That was fun!

Do it again. Do it again.

Come on, Annie. Get up.

What's wrong with her?

Come on, Annie. Get up.

She's never seen
a zombie mercied before.

Why won't she move?

Sweetie,

Doc had to stop her.

If he didn't,
she would have bit him.

She's dead.

You broke her!

No. No. No, you see...

I hate you!

You broke her!
You ruined everything!

Wait!

Lucy! Come on back here!

Lucy! Wait! Stop!

Lucy!

Wait!

Stop!

Lucy!

Wait!

Lucy!

Split up. It's the quickest way
to find her.

She's alone out there!

Fine.

We'll have to go round them
zombies up when Pa and Lucy

get back.

She hates it
when they wander off.

Then we'll probably shoot you.

Tea?

It's okay.

You can come out.

I wanna go home now.
Take me home.

I said, take me home!

No! Bad zombie!

Bad zombie! Bad!

I'm no zombie.

Come here.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Get away from her!

It won't do what I say!

It's not a zombie.
It just looks like one. Run!

I'm scared!

I won't let it hurt you!

Shut up and die!

You okay, honey?

You saved me.

You understand
what I want you to do?

And I have a surprise for you.

Go ahead.

It's okay.

That's what you want, isn't it?

To be yourself again?

To be human?

Good.

Good.

Your transformation
is complete.

Remember what we talked about.

I'm going to meet my dad.

I'm going to meet my dad.

I'm going to meet my dad.

I'm going to meet my dad.

I know Lucy's got her heart set
on this, but

I still have my misgivings.

We only want
what's best for her.

Hey, I helped bring little Lucy
into this world.

I ain't about to let anything
happen to her. Believe me.

So you knew my mommy?

Well I sure did, sweetheart.

I did too. Her name was Serena.
And she loved you very much.

Tell me about my mommy. Tell me.
Tell me. Tell me.

Well I guess we should start
at the beginning.

Mommy and daddy met like so many
people do during the Apocalypse,

on the road, by chance.

They fell in love
over a blueberry pie.

Pie?

That's right.

King and Queen of the
Apocalypse.

And did they live in a castle?

Well yes they did.

A big beautiful castle.

And did mommy have a crown?

Well yeah.

It was an awesome crown.

And Murphy, I mean daddy,

he had a pretty cool crown too.

How do mommies and daddies
make babies?

Kids say the darnedest things.

Well, Lucy,

it's kinda like baking a pie.

It is?

It is?

It is.

You see, mommy baked daddy
a blueberry pie.

And they loved each other
so much

that they ate
the whole dang pie.

Pie?

Blueberry pie?

Is that why I'm blue?

Yeah, I think you're right.

I knew it.

Well, by the time
they finished that pie,

your mommy had a little
bun in the oven of her own.

I'm pregnant.

I'm pregnant.

Pregnant?

But snookums,
it's the Apocalypse.

Don't worry, I made a list.

Ooh!

Baby bottle warmer.

Diaper genie.

Breast pump.
What, in case you get a flat?

I might.

Nose Frida.
I don't know what that is.

That is a snot sucker.

Snot sucker, all right.

Ten cases of diapers.
Prey tell, my lady.

How much is this baby gonna poop
anyway?

A lot.

Gross.

And we're gonna need a house.
Seven bedrooms should be enough.

Seven? Why?

For the kids, silly.

As King and Queen
of the Apocalypse,

we're gonna need to
set an example

if we're going to repopulate
the planet.

And I'll need a doula.

A doula? What's a doula?

Daddy, you'll learn.

And I'm gonna want a water
birth, so we're gonna need

to find a swimming pool
so I can deliver in it.

And I think I'm gonna need
a wet nurse.

What's wrong with a dry one?

Listen, I didn't realize how

complicated this whole
baby thing was.

Doc!

Okay sweetie, time to go.

I love you. I love
you. I love you. I love you.

I thought she'd never leave.

And then your mom and dad got
separated by fate.

But your mom was so determined
to find your dad

so the three of you could be
together again.

Is that really you?

Your mom and dad got reunited.
Hey.

Daddy's here.

It was a dangerous trip.

But your mommy protected you
the whole time.

You dirt eating bastards!

You filthy goat loving whores!

There is a baby on board
here! A mother loving baby!

People are so rude.

Then, you were ready
to come out and meet the world.

I was there to help.

You just, it's just like
blowing up a balloon, right?

Just take quick short breaths.

I see something!

Here she comes!

And boy, did you ever make an
entrance.

You were such a beautiful baby.

Congratulations, daddy.

You did good, mommy.

Can I?

Your dad was overjoyed
to finally hold you in his arms.

It was love at first sight.

Ten fingers, ten toes.

And did my mommy love me too?

Of course, sweetheart.

Then why did she
go away and leave me?

Your mommy loved you so so much.

But she had to fight off

some wicked zombies
that were trying to hurt you.

But zombies are my friends.

Well not all of them
are your friends.

Your mommy was very brave.

She made all them stinky zombies
go away.

Get away from my baby,
you you damn dirty zombies!

She was a warrior princess.

And fought long and hard
to save you and your daddy.

And when she was done,
well she had to go rest

in a far away land. But she will
always love you very much.

And that's the story

of how the King
and the Queen met

and how little Princess Lucy
was born.

Well, that's just about it.

Buckle up!

There we go.

We are all going on a road trip.
How fun is that?

Yay!

Let's go!

We got to wait for Ma and Pa
first.

Hey, where are they?

I dunno.

I'll go see what keeping them.

Okay.

Hey, folks. Time to go.

Where'd you guys go?!

Come out, come out,
wherever you are.

There you are!

I was starting to get worried.

Hey, I know it's hard to leave
your home and all. But

this really is the best thing
for Lucy.

What the hell!

This is your fault!

You lied to us! Kill him, Ma!

You led him straight to us!

Led who?!

Addy!

If you hurt her,

every zombie in the Apocalypse
will be after you!

I don't know what
you're talking about!

Liar!

Addy, are you okay?

No, no, no!

Addy? God. Addy?

Lucy.

You!

Lucy!

Get back here, you
bald-headed son of a bitch!

Lucy!

We'll find you!

Addy? Easy, easy now.

You might have a concussion.

How many fingers am I holding
up?

Two.

No, no. That's not good.

No. Two.

Play dead.

Hey! Over here!

Stop! Get off!

It wasn't me! It wasn't me!

Mercy.

Two seconds later,
you'd be giving me mercy.

Who are you? Where are we going?
Where's Addy?

Are you taking me to see daddy?

Why are you driving mommy's car?

Are we there yet?
When my daddy finds out,

he's going to be mad at you.

You're not being
a very good boy.

What's wrong with your head?
Why is it all shiny like that?

You should wear your seat belt,
you know.

Ma will probably shoot you if
you don't.

She likes shooting things.

Do it again! Do it again!

Again! Again!

Zombies are my friends.
They listen to me.

The next time we stop,

they're gonna come out of the
woods and bite your face off.

Will you shut up!

I want my aunt Addy!

Well you're never gonna see her
again because she's dead!

It doesn't look too bad.

Just don't get hit in the head
again. You'll live.

How did The Man find Lucy?

She must be on his damn list.

Or Murphy is.

We got to go after her.

Hey, hey, hey. We will.

Once you can stand.

I can stand.

Okay. What if we can't find her?
We got to get help.

Who's gonna help us?

We passed a radio tower
on the way here.

Okay. One of us has to go back,

find it, get in contact
with Citizen Z or Warren.

Okay. Look, you take the
motorcycle and go after Lucy.

It'll be quicker with one rider.
I'll head to the antenna.

I'll follow you once I make
contact with them.

I'll leave bread crumbs.
You'll know where to go.

Okay. Be careful.

You too.

Okay.

It was the damnedest thing.

Like a nightmare, but so real.

Is it hot in here to you?

It's just me.

Feels like it's getting hot
in here.

It's hard to breathe. I need to

get some air.

That ought to teach you.

What the hell happened to you?

You just wait until I tell
my daddy what you did.
