Z Nation (2014–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - A New Mission - full transcript

Previously on Z Nation.

Lieutenant Roberta Warren.
Missouri National Guard.

We have the package here.

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

Maybe I'll actually
enjoy doing some good.

I'm counting on you.

10K?

Oh shoot.

I've been shot.

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

A new world is rising.



Zona.

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

I did not spend three years

fighting my way across 10,000 miles

just so I could be a human
blood bag for a few billionaires

Need a ride?

I got enough food, ammo,
and z weed for a month.

I'm in.

It's Murphy.

Tell me 10K is on that boat.

What do you suppose they want?

What do you think?

Say goodbye, pup.

Cuz we ain't coming back.



You okay?

Good.

Shoot me or get that
damn thing out of my face.

Careful.

...Roberta Warren...

Well look who's world famous.

You in charge?

That's Murphy for you. Causing
trouble when he's not even here.

English. Do you speak it?

I don't think she understands you.

You'd better take me out quick
because I'm real good with faces

if you know what I mean.

I don't see any blood
under those fingernails.

You sure about this?

We could still talk about this.

I hate this part.

Now!

Thought that was gonna
go a different way.

You and me are gonna have some words.

That's it, Captain.
Put your back into it.

In two minutes, I want this
place in my rearview mirror.

Exploding submarines

tend to attract the
wrong kind of attention.

Better.

Captain?

Captain.

It'll heal.

Clock hates us, people.

Let's move!

What happened?

Where is everybody?

This way, kid.

Let's go.

We gotta find Doc and Addy and Warren.

I already said thanks.

We're going our own way now.

We kept you alive all
the way to California.

Where are you going?

To start a new world.

? Have mercy...

? ...Oh, have mercy. ?

I'm not going anywhere with you, Murphy.

Hold still.

So you do speak English.

Lieutenant Roberta Warren.

And who the hell are you?

There's no cure in that blood.

Addison Carver.

Does it mention that I
don't play well with others?

Cuz I don't.

Steven Beck.

You can call me Doc.

I'm not actually a board
certified physician. I just...

Nevermind.

Ow.

Now I know how Murphy feels.

Let me know what you find. I've
been having some weird dreams.

Murder, kidnapping,
battery, public indecency

Career opportunities in my neighborhood

were somewhat limited.

We get the friends we deserve.

Operation Bite Mark. Where is Murphy?

Who wants to know?

Murphy's blood is our mission.

Have you seen a kid

with black spiky hair
and brooding good looks?

He was on that submarine with Murphy.

Okay.

Try to avoid the sharp stuff.

There.

Zombies carrying weapons?

Those aren't Zs.

Back in the vehicle.

Kill them.

You two will have to do better.

The Apocalypse has gotten worse.

Starvation and killing
is all that's left.

Last stop for humanity. Everybody off.

Relax.

We have work to do.

That yours?

Hurry.

We must reach the supply drop
before anyone or anything else.

Hey, pup.

You good?

Okay then.

Hey!

It's not easy when your hands
are zip-tied behind your back.

Try it sometime.

You got silencers?

Why are they wasting so many bullets?

I guess they've never
heard of a "kill shot."

Well I'm happy to let somebody else

do the zombie slaying for a change.

I'm getting a little tired
of being somebody's prisoner.

It would be super cool not
to be hand-cuffed right now.

What are they waiting for?

Wait.

Zombie rave.

Pass the Z weed.

I give you mercy.

We're better when we can use our hands.

Can we get our weapons now?

You have me at a disadvantage.

You know me, but I don't know you.

I'm Dr. Sun, a virologist
from Laos, trained in Beijing.

Beijing survived?

No. Only 200,000 citizens remain.

That's why they call it the Apocalypse.

We fell back behind the
walls of the Forbidden City.

The best scientists and
leaders from all over Asia.

You have supplies, an
aircraft, an army, but no cure.

Our efforts to create
a vaccine have failed.

We must harvest anti-bodies
and platelets from The Murphy.

There he goes.

What's happening? I don't understand.

Get in.

We need to keep moving.

The further we get away
from the humans, the better.

What is that?

10K.

What is it?

Zombies eating zombies.

But why?

They're starving.

Not enough humans left to eat.

I can't watch.

Don't turn away.

Face the future.

Without me, this is how the world ends.

No humans. Just starving Zs.

What about Zona?

Without my blood,

the flatulent rich of Zona
will meet a less dignified end

than these poor bastards.

They won't give up so easily.

Nor will I.

What will you do with me?

Merch, my good doctor.

You will help bring
Murphy to the masses.

You'll be part of history.

The Age of Blends is inevitable.

My gift to this cesspool of a world.

Cheer up, 10K.

Put our brothers out of my misery.

I give you mercy.

What?

You've stopped counting.

What is mercy?

You don't do that in Asia?

No.

It's a ritual that we do
for the dead and the dying.

But you mercy zombies.

Yeah, well we give them mercy
for the life that came before,

as a reminder that
they used to be human.

And I used to be human too.

Wow, brother. I was parched.

I've decided to return your weapons.

Don't make me regret this decision.

We've learned many
things from surveillance.

We saw Ms. Carver's modified
bat and designed one of our own.

What's this?

We have made some modifications.

Thank you.

Oh.

Sensitive.

I feel better already.

Gracias.

High Noon at the OK Corral.

Thank you.

Move out.

I didn't see you there.

Morning, sleepy head.

Uh, hi?

You're up.

Uh, yeah.

It happens in the morning sometimes.

Who are you?

Kaya.

Hi, I'm Simon.

I also go by...

Citizen Z.

I know. I'm a huge fan.

Not in a Kathy Bates with
a sledgehammer kind of way.

Though I do love
"Misery." So scary. Do you?

Uh, yeah I guess.

Sorry. I'm pretty excited.
How are you feeling?

Better.

How long was I out for?

Two days.

Two days, wow.

I'm, I'm still a little hazy.

But was that you...

I mean did we...

Get naked?

Yep.

You had hypothermia, dude.

Skin-on-skin contact
is the best way

to warm your core temperature.

It was either me or nanna.
Uncle Kaskae wasn't gonna do it.

Who?

I'm just playin'.

Who are they?

Uncle Kaskae and my nanna.

This is Citizen Z.

Hi. Hi.

How long have they been sitting there?

A while. They live here.

Thank you so much for your hospitality.

Want your shorts?

Yes, please.

Why don't you just toss them to me?

Okay.

I may be your biggest fan.

I've listened to you since Day One.

You were our only
connection to the world.

And I love your taste in music.

Though I could do with
more booty shaking hip-hop.

So where are all the zombies?

The Tornaq hate the ice and snow.

Tornaq?

The evil undead.

The brain-eating freaks.

The Zs.

Very few choose to
make a living up here.

That's why there were
very few Tornaq to banish.

Isolation has its benefits.

So do friends.

You've been with Murphy since
the beginning, haven't you?

Pretty much.

You know him better than anyone.

I don't know if anybody
knows the Murphy.

But you will help us find him.

When we find him, you'll make a vaccine?

Yes.

I'll need to get Murphy's
blood back to my lab on the ship

so that I can... You have a ship?

An aircraft carrier.

We required all the
available fuel in Pan Asia

for our journey here.

My people sacrificed greatly
for this chance at a cure.

And this supply drop we're chasing?

We will have what we need
to complete the mission.

We cannot fail.

This is our last hope.

And the cure,

It's for everybody, right?

Of course.

The drop was blown off
course, but we are close.

Hey, is that a piece of parachute?

Did it get shot down?

The supply drop must've crashed
through the factory roof.

Let's hope my gear is intact.

Warren.

Those Zs are fast.

They sure don't look like Zs.

Damn.

What?

Enders.

They some kind of
hyper crackhead zombies?

They're worse than zombies.

They're humans, but
their brains are fried.

We're not the only ones
that see the parachutes.

Put your dancing shoes on.

It's gonna be a party.

It's that way.

800 meters. Be very cautious.

Lady runs a tight ship.

Nice to have a little muscle
between us and whatever.

We miss all the fun?

Some had more fun than others.

The zombies want brains, but

what do the enders want?

To put us out of our misery

before we put them out of theirs.

How much further? We close?

That way.

Which way? I don't see anything.

Enders!

No. No.

No!

Lieutenant Mong?!

Sun Mei! Get down!

Addy! Heads up!

I failed our people.

You guys okay?

It's gonna hurt.

You ready?

I...will be... okay.

I'm responsible for
the deaths of these men.

I swore to their families that
they would return with the cure.

Nothing you can do for them
now but stay alive, okay?

Keep your head in it.

You sure?

You good?

You okay?

Okay.

No, Lieutenant Mong, No!

Get off him!

Dammit!

Too close?

Lieutenant Mong. Lieutenant
Mong! Lieutenant Mong!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Mong, not you. Do it. Do it. Do it.

I give you mercy.

Let's go see about the supply drop.

Come on.

These supplies better be damn
awesome. I need a pick me up.

The drop is

this way.

Damn.

Somebody beat us to it.

My supply drop has been stolen.

They got everything. Even the vehicle.

And they drove that way.

I have failed.

My ancestors will never know peace.

Well at least it wasn't
our fault this time.

There's a reckoning coming.

What do you think?

Time for a new plan.

Call in another supply drop
from your aircraft carrier.

I can't.

There's nothing left to send.

Besides,

the radio is destroyed.

When you drew our blood,
what were you hoping to find?

Your journey with Murphy
defied explanation.

How have you survived for so long?

Perhaps a biological
anomaly is the answer.

Murphy didn't rub off on us.

We rubbed off on him.

We kept him going.

Come on.

Why?

I don't deserve to live

when my failure have
caused so many to die.

My mission is over.

Okay.

Your mission failed. Fine.

Get up.

You're part of my mission now.

Does this mean there's a new mission?

What about the Murphy?

We're gonna find Murphy.

And when we do, you're gonna
use his blood to make a vaccine

and save this sorry assed world.

You're my scientist now.

This mission belongs to us.

Not Hammond, not
Garnett, and not the CDC.

We survived for some cosmic reason.

And I'm naming it.

I have faith that you,

you,

and you,

and you

are here for this reason.

It's up to us, nobody else.

Damn. I got goosebumps.

I'm in, Chief.

I'm at your service.

Alrighty then.

Let's find this blue son of a bitch.

Thank you.

Speak of the Blue Devil.

Well

Look who's still alive.

Roberta Warren.

Murphy.

The Murphy?

Murphy!

Where is 10K?

Well, looks like you've
been busy making friends.

Looks like you've been
making friends too.

Funny.

El Scorpion.

It's not El Scorpion
anymore. Just Hector.

Oh.

A little "Road to Damascus"
moment there, eh Hector?

Me too. I have seen the light.

What happened to the submarine?

Total shit show.

I got the hell out of there
before the damn thing sank.

You blew up the CDC lab?

There is no CDC, no government.

Only Zona.

A bunch of rich bastards
trying to game the system.

They can get their cure
from someone else's blood.

Plus,

I took their doctor.

Ah-h-h.

That's close enough.

Wake up, Warren.

This world is over.

Come with me.

Start the next world.

And be your bitch
blend? I don't think so.

You make it sound so cheap.

Murphy, we need you.

We still can complete our mission.

This is Dr. Sun.

She traveled from
Beijing just to find you.

She can manufacture a vaccine...

And save humanity. Blah blah blah.

You really should hear yourself.

Mr. Murphy,

my people are waiting
for us aboard a ship

with a fully equipped lab.

Well that explains the broken radio.

It only plays Chinese.

Well, thanks for letting me
borrow your ride by the way.

That's my medical equipment.

Yeah.

Borrowing that too.

You can save my people, save everyone.

I need to make this vaccine. Help me.

Sorry.

No one is poking holes in me ever again.

Unless I say so.

Murphy, don't be an idiot.
You cannot do this alone.

Yes, I can.

But you can help me.

All you have to do is get in the car.

Forget about humanity,
Warren. It's over.

Join my mission.

Heck, you can even
bring Dr. Sun along too.

Even Saint Hector there.

Get out of the car.

Seriously Roberta?

Okay.

10K?

Time to choose.

Me or what's left of humanity.

Warren.

Enders.

Shit.

Have it your way.

It's Blend time.

The humans lost the race.

Just ask 'em.

TTFN.

And yet you've survived.

Am I your prisoner now?

How 'bout I try trusting you
and let's see how that goes?

The warning shot, the Enders,
that had to be 10K, right?

Who else can shoot like that?

We have to let him go.

We are going to drive ourselves crazy.

I hope the keys are in there.

Okay.

It's just us now.

And we are going to stop Murphy

from creating his damn race of Blends.

Onto the new mission.

Wow.

It's so beautiful.

Better than TV.

I'm really glad you're here.

Me too.
