Z Nation (2014–…): Season 5, Episode 3 - Escape from Altura - full transcript
10K nearly loses everything as Panic and anti-Talker sentiments flare after an explosion derails the vote.
Previously on Z Nation.
Welcome to Altura.
Or if George has anything to say
about it, soon to be Newmerica.
This is Roman Estes.
He is the reason we have water
and power.
She must really
be something, that George.
I've laid down my life for her
many times.
Are you gonna vote yes
on the new constitution?
She says we should be
one nation.
I vote Newmerica.
Yeah, well what's
the alternative?
Burn it all down.
Let's get her up here. George!
George! George! George!
Wish me luck.
Doc!
George!
What... happened?
Are we dead?
Not everybody.
Oh shit.
Oh jeez...
Hold still.
You know what,
help will be here soon!
You're gonna be fine. All right?
George!
Doc!
George!
George?!
You okay?
What happened?
Some kind of explosion!
Doc!
Hey, Doc.
We need bizkits stat.
Warren!
CZ, what the... what happened?
I dunno. Some kind of explosion.
Where's Dante? Estes?
Haven't seen them.
Let's help these people.
First responders are rushing in
to aid those injured
in the blast.
Most of them delegates here for
the vote.
Come here. Come here.
There you go.
Okay, let's get you out of here.
Wait.
All right now.
Just take it easy, man.
You know,
death ain't what it used to be.
Little help here!
Zombies! Oh my god!
Thanks.
You bet.
More Zs coming.
♪ Have mercy... ♪
♪ Oh, have mercy. ♪
Where did all these Zs
come from?
Zombies don't just
walk into Altura.
They look like they were
on vacation.
Little late in the season.
You never see so many
this far north.
These Talkers
are getting twitchy.
We need bizkits.
Where's Dante?
Mr. Stemple?
Hey, Leroy. Can you hear me?
Bizkits are coming. Everything's
cool. Warren, a little help.
We need bizkits!
All right, Mr. Stemple,
here you go. Come on.
That's it.
These really work.
Like insulin.
What happened?
We're gonna need more bizkits!
Eight thousand two hundred
and four.
Red?
10K!
What happened?
Eight thousand two oh five.
Explosion in the Congress Hall.
They think a bomb.
Bomb?
Have you seen Red?
No. Did she find you?
Yes, but then I lost her again.
Where did all these zombies
come from?
I was starting to like it here.
You all right?
Let me know if there's anything
I can do for you, okay?
Who would want to kill
the delegates?
This was an
assassination attempt.
Assassination?
Who? Estes?
Or you.
But... who?
No, this referendum was gonna
pass. This was gonna work.
Oh, thank god you're all right.
I'm okay. You?
I'm lucky. We lost
so many good people today.
Gained so many Talkers.
Yes, of course.
We're lucky we had
enough bizkits on hand
or we might not have been
able to stop this.
I'm sorry. This is a dark day.
I realize we're still tending to
the wounded,
but this can't wait.
George, my sources are reporting
a Talker may be behind this.
A Talker? No, that doesn't make
any sense.
They had the most to gain.
Look for yourself.
I know. It was a landslide.
The Talkers would have been
full citizens in Newmerica.
This attack changes everything.
It's early in the investigation.
Maybe Dante's heard something?
He wasn't among the wounded.
I don't know where he is.
Something you've got to see.
Anybody else feeling a draft?
Quiet down
and let the doctor work.
Well that's a load off my mind.
What's wrong with you?
This blast is bad news.
On the bright side, we have
fresh test subjects headed our.
Maybe it was... a... gas... leak.
Doesn't matter.
Once they call it a terrorist
attack, someone's got to pay.
And how long before they start
blaming the red guy?
Murphy, I know you've been
through a lot...
These people have given me
the hairy eyeball
ever since I got here.
You look like Satan.
Yeah, and I'm rocking it.
But still, it's rude to stare.
What the hell is that?
Lockdown sirens.
Lockdown siren?
And that's my exit.
Murphy, no, wait.
Nope! Bad things happen
to those who wait.
Good luck on your science
experiment, Mister Wizard.
I hope you get an A+.
I feel like I'm having an
out of body experience.
I want a complete perimeter
sweep. Secure this fence.
Then locate and destroy
every zombie that got through.
What did you find?
This is no accident.
This is sabotage. An act of war.
Where's Dante?
What are you asking me?
We have witnesses
that Dante left the hall
just seconds before the blast.
Nobody's been able to find him
since.
We need to bring Dante in
for questioning.
We got to find Dante
before this goes public.
People are rattled. They could
turn on the Talkers and you.
Not these people. I know them.
Dante's wife works in the lab.
Maybe she'll know something.
There she is.
Red!
10K?
Keep moving.
You're shaking.
I'm fine. Really.
You were there, and then...
Zombies.
But we need to talk, for real.
All citizens and militia
are to report back to your posts
for mandatory headcount.
Copy you. Give us a minute.
I have to go.
I'm supposed to report to
Sun Mei's lab in an emergency.
Meet me there when you can.
I will. I promise.
Does that rig of yours record?
Yeah, it backs up to a chip
in the camera.
Oh, right.
The blast could be on here.
Right.
Oh man, I hope it was
turned the right way.
So the bomb
was under the podium.
How far back can you go?
All right, let me,
let me rewind this a bit.
Maybe the guy who planted it
is on here.
Your camera survived?
Yeah, it did.
And I may have inadvertently
captured the guy
who planted the bomb.
I want to have frame
of that video analyzed.
I'm heading up the investigation
personally.
We'll need your camera,
if that's okay?
Why don't you give him a minute?
He might be able to solve it
for you.
People are dead.
There could be more attacks.
So I'm asking you again,
if you will voluntarily
give me that camera.
Yes, of course.
I'll have it back to you
as soon as possible. I promise.
Let's go.
When Murphy told me
you were alive,
I couldn't believe it.
It's so good to see you.
Where's Murphy? Didn't they
bring him here for testing?
Yeah,
but he got nervous and ran away
when the lockdown sirens started.
And we should do the same.
Right now we're looking for
Dante.
Have you seen him, Marjorie?
No. Not since this morning.
I'm worried.
He hasn't tried to contact you?
You know you can trust
George and me, right?
Dante is not involved
in any attack.
Newmerica was his dream,
as much as yours.
As long as he's on the run,
it doesn't look good for him
or for Talkers.
In here.
What do you want?!
Seizing your Talkers.
We have orders to take them
to quarantine.
I'm in the middle
of a test cycle.
My orders are to detain
all Talkers. All of them.
Immediately.
On whose authority?
CEO Estes. I'm gonna have to
ask you to step aside.
Get out of my lab.
I have my orders, ma'am.
Now please step aside.
Sun Mei, do what she says.
She's right. We'll talk to Estes
We'll get you out of there.
Find Dante.
We will.
We'll be back
for your guinea pigs.
I thought they'd never leave.
God.
Hold it. Don't move.
You're red.
And?
I'm gonna need a pulse.
Yeah. Yeah, sure. Yeah.
One red hot pulse coming up.
That alive enough for you, punk?
Citizen Z here.
Live casting from Congress Hall,
the site of today's
terror attack
on the center of our new
democracy.
Altura CEO Roman Estes
has asked to update citizens on
the status of the investigation.
But first,
a moment of silence for all
those who lost their lives
or turned today.
Good evening,
fellow citizens of Altura and
throughout all the outposts.
Today was to have been a day of
joy, unity, and progress,
not a day of death, fear,
and pain.
I confess
this tragedy is my fault.
Like many of us, I was taken by
the momentum of change.
We failed you, but we
won't let our guard down again.
As such,
I've ordered a full lockdown
of Altura until further notice.
We ask for your
patience in restoring order.
Information has come to light
during our investigation
that has resulted in us
identifying a person of interest
who we wish to speak to
in connection with
today's explosion.
Don't rush to judgment, Estes.
Altura authorities are asking
Joseph Dante to turn himself in
for questioning.
If you know the whereabouts
of Dante,
do not contact him yourself.
Contact authorities immediately.
Until the bombers
are brought to justice,
I am calling for the quarantine
of all Talkers inside
the gates of Altura.
I know that sounds cruel.
These are our family.
Our friends.
This is for their safety
and for the safety
of all Altura citizens.
And there it is.
God. What is he doing?
We've had to make
difficult choices before.
That's how we survived.
Thank you for your cooperation
during this difficult time.
We will restore security.
Without that,
democracy is meaningless.
I need to talk to him.
Hey, hey. Not now.
Let's get out of here first.
Where would Dante go?
We need to know what he knows.
This is a waking nightmare.
And it's not over yet.
Stop that van!
Someone's coming!
He's not stopping!
He's gonna crash the gate.
Open it! Open the gate!
10K, go! Now!
Open fire!
It's jammed!
Forget it!
Dante? Wait! Stop!
Why would he run?
And what the hell
is Murphy doing?
Defend the gate until
someone gets here to fix it.
Thanks for the lift.
Do you hear that?
There's hate in the air,
and it makes me feel so...
Alive isn't the right word.
Aroused.
Humans.
Why are the living
so damn predictable?
Estes will listen to me.
He'll see this quarantine
isn't gonna make us safer.
It's gonna drive the Talkers
underground
and cut them off
from their bizkits.
It's already happening.
Hey!
I'm gonna kick your...
Go on. Get out of here.
Leroy, are you all right?
Doesn't hurt. I can't feel
anything. Not used to that yet.
Hang in there.
This mess will be over soon.
This is all your fault.
You said they were
just like us, only dead.
Now they want our brains.
Well just let them try.
I'll kill them all.
I swear I will.
I don't want your brains.
Somebody gonna get
an ass whoopin
if you don't stop talking.
No, no, no. Let him go.
What?
Let him go.
Go home. Get out of here.
Your family needs you.
Why'd we let him go?
I recognized him.
His brother was one of
the delegates killed today.
Damn.
Come on, man. We need bizkits.
Hey, we're dying in here.
Get us some bizkits.
Marjorie.
Sun Mei.
Marjorie.
Thank god you're here.
This is the fourth detention
area that I've checked.
They couldn't tell me where
you were. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Do you need anything?
We need bizkits.
They aren't feeding us.
Why aren't you feeding
the Talkers?
No bizkits. They're all gone.
These bucket heads
don't know anything.
I need to find Estes.
We need to find bizkits.
These Talkers are going to turn.
We'll be back soon, okay?
All right, right there
where it was repaired.
Got it.
Somebody's coming.
Stop right there!
What's going on?
Why aren't you at your post?
We caught them at the fence.
Get away from there.
I told you it needed to...
Was that necessary?
Probably.
Doc and CZ,
we're taking George to Pacifica.
10K, you and Sarge
find Sun Mei and Red,
and you join us as soon as you
can. We're gonna need you.
Here, take this.
Ready?
Here, Talker Talker.
Here we go, boys.
Free lunch.
Hey, Talkers.
That's close enough.
Your life depends
on the next decision you make.
Crap.
We'll take those weapons.
Hey, guys. Don't leave us
out here like this.
Be thankful we don't mercy you.
We'll leave these
just up the road.
And just to prove we're not
all bad,
here's a sock for each of you.
Catch.
Let's go!
Shit.
What do you want?!
Stop! I mean it! Who are you?!
Wesson?
Is that really you?
It's been a long time
since Murphytown, sir.
What the hell
is wrong with you?!
You scared the life
out of me!
Good one.
We missed you, sir.
We?
We're a dozen blends strong,
sir.
We've been waiting
for your return.
Somebody's taken
all the bizkits.
Marjorie keeps a stash
somewhere.
Hi, Red. Where's Margie?
What are you guys...
Where does Marjorie
keep bizkits?
Underneath the microscopes
behind me.
I have one
in my pocket too.
Thanks.
That should hold you over
till we get back.
Delicious. I really love those.
You can taste the brains
in every bite.
Stay here.
Okee dokee.
Warren says we have to get out
of Altura.
Like five minutes ago.
I have a detention pen
full of Talkers
who will melt down
without these bizkits.
I'll go with Sun Mei. We'll
meet at the cut in the fence.
Hi.
Hi.
So, you gonna introduce me
to your friend?
Let's go someplace we can talk.
Alone.
I can take a hint.
Dante has escaped with two,
possibly three Talkers.
He was driving the van
that crashed the gate.
I assumed as much.
We sent a patrol after them.
And the Talkers?
Almost fully contained.
Just tracking down the last few.
And George?
She appears to have left Altura
with a group of new arrivals.
Well, keep trying to locate
them.
They may be headed back
to Pacifica.
If they are, we will find them.
You can leave finding Dante
to me.
He couldn't have gotten
that far.
You make me feel
so alive.
When I saw you in Altura,
I knew that was you.
We've been really busy
in your absence, sir.
I think you'll be pleased.
Yes, well, let's not get
carried away... yet.
Car!
Get down,
get down, get down.
What are you...
What are you doing?
Don't be afraid, sir.
What is this?
You're all blends?
Carpool.
Carpool?
Yeah.
We all work together.
Work?
Where?
Limbo.
Limbo?
Yes, sir.
And I think you'll like it there
too.
I can't believe
this is happening.
Nothing good lasts.
I hope you're wrong about that.
I didn't know if you were dead
or turned or what happened.
You were just gone.
I didn't know
if I'd ever see you again.
I checked every truckload
of new arrivals.
I was so afraid I'd lost you
forever.
I never stopped
thinking about you.
I have to ask you...
about you... and Sarge.
Yeah?
You seem so...
connected.
Yeah.
But I mean it's different.
It's not like it is with you.
Is that how she feels?
I've known Dante
since the Black Rain.
He'd risk his post-life
for any of us.
Dante will go to Pacifica.
He'll have an explanation.
Estes and his Talker round-up
is only making things worse.
Estes is trying to
protect everyone,
but it's so wrong headed.
It's not like him.
Is that Dante's van?
Nobody's home.
What's that smell?
Over here.
Oh my god.
This is just getting started.
We don't deserve a planet.
Is Dante here?
No. He must have escaped.
Or been taken prisoner.
We got a live one here.
There we go.
Who did this to you?
Carlos.
Carlos. Carlos, is Dante here?
Blink once for yes
or twice for no.
Were you headed to Pacifica?
Did Altura Militia do this?
They were tortured. Whoever
did this wanted information.
I don't understand, Carlos.
I'm sorry.
Let me.
Mercy.
I give you mercy.
Marjorie. Marjorie.
Marjorie. Marjorie.
Marjorie. Marjorie.
Come here.
Come on. Come on.
Here, here. This is for you.
Here.
Feeling better?
Yes.
You there! Get away from him!
They're starving! Can't you see
they need bizkits?
You're making them crazy!
Hands off her, soldier!
Let him go!
Hey!
No!
Get out of here. Find Dante.
Almost there.
What about Sarge and Sun Mei?
You worry about Sarge
a lot.
See. It's all good.
Go on. I'll be right there.
Hey!
Get out of here!
I'm not going.
Sun Mei.
My work is too important.
I'm so close to a breakthrough.
I need the lab.
10K.10K.
Help 10K. I'll get the Zs.
10K!
Help! Sarge!
Behind you!
I got it! Help 10K!
10K! Go!
Sarge! No!
I'm sorry, 10K.
There was no other
way.
I couldn't lose you
like that. I had to do it.
There was...
there was no other way.
Sarge is a hero.
She saved both of your lives.
I'll be right back.
The cut was clean.
But we need to keep
a close eye on him.
What do I say to him?
You saved his life.
I'll be right back.
Who would do something
so terrible?
I've met a few humans.
And Talkers are just
human enough.
Did Dante escape?
Or was he taken prisoner?
Or what if Estes was right?
What if Dante
was somehow behind the blast?
What if he changed?
Became more zombie...
And I missed it?
No, no. Your belief in him came
from your gut, not your head.
Always go with your gut.
We were so close to having this
whole thing come together.
So close.
There's still time
to put it all together.
But there's not that much time
left.
Puppies and kittens.
Puppies and kittens.
Welcome to Altura.
Or if George has anything to say
about it, soon to be Newmerica.
This is Roman Estes.
He is the reason we have water
and power.
She must really
be something, that George.
I've laid down my life for her
many times.
Are you gonna vote yes
on the new constitution?
She says we should be
one nation.
I vote Newmerica.
Yeah, well what's
the alternative?
Burn it all down.
Let's get her up here. George!
George! George! George!
Wish me luck.
Doc!
George!
What... happened?
Are we dead?
Not everybody.
Oh shit.
Oh jeez...
Hold still.
You know what,
help will be here soon!
You're gonna be fine. All right?
George!
Doc!
George!
George?!
You okay?
What happened?
Some kind of explosion!
Doc!
Hey, Doc.
We need bizkits stat.
Warren!
CZ, what the... what happened?
I dunno. Some kind of explosion.
Where's Dante? Estes?
Haven't seen them.
Let's help these people.

in the blast.
Most of them delegates here for
the vote.
Come here. Come here.
There you go.
Okay, let's get you out of here.
Wait.
All right now.
Just take it easy, man.
You know,
death ain't what it used to be.
Little help here!
Zombies! Oh my god!
Thanks.
You bet.
More Zs coming.
♪ Have mercy... ♪
♪ Oh, have mercy. ♪
Where did all these Zs

terror attack
on the center of our new
democracy.
Altura CEO Roman Estes
has asked to update citizens on
the status of the investigation.
But first,
a moment of silence for all
those who lost their lives
or turned today.
Good evening,
fellow citizens of Altura and
throughout all the outposts.
Today was to have been a day of
joy, unity, and progress,
not a day of death, fear,
and pain.
I confess
this tragedy is my fault.
Like many of us, I was taken by
the momentum of change.
We failed you, but we
won't let our guard down again.
As such,
I've ordered a full lockdown
of Altura until further notice.
We ask for your
patience in restoring order.
Information has come to light
during our investigation
that has resulted in us
identifying a person of interest
who we wish to speak to
in connection with
today's explosion.
Don't rush to judgment, Estes.
Altura authorities are asking
Joseph Dante to turn himself in
for questioning.
If you know the whereabouts
of Dante,
do not contact him yourself.
Contact authorities immediately.
Until the bombers
are brought to justice,
I am calling for the quarantine
of all Talkers inside
the gates of Altura.
I know that sounds cruel.
These are our family.
Our friends.
This is for their safety
and for the safety
of all Altura citizens.
And there it is.
God. What is he doing?
We've had to make
difficult choices before.
That's how we survived.
Thank you for your cooperation
during this difficult time.
We will restore security.
Without that,
democracy is meaningless.
I need to talk to him.
Hey, hey. Not now.
Let's get out of here first.
Where would Dante go?
We need to know what he knows.
This is a waking nightmare.
And it's not over yet.
Stop that van!
Someone's coming!
He's not stopping!
He's gonna crash the gate.
Open it! Open the gate!
10K, go! Now!
Open fire!
It's jammed!
Forget it!
Dante? Wait! Stop!
Why would he run?
And what the hell
is Murphy doing?
Defend the gate until
someone gets here to fix it.
Thanks for the lift.
Do you hear that?
There's hate in the air,
and it makes me feel so...
Alive isn't the right word.
Aroused.
Humans.
Why are the living
so damn predictable?
Estes will listen to me.
He'll see this quarantine
isn't gonna make us safer.
It's gonna drive the Talkers
underground
and cut them off
from their bizkits.
It's already happening.
Hey!
I'm gonna kick your...
Go on. Get out of here.
Leroy, are you all right?
Doesn't hurt. I can't feel
anything. Not used to that yet.
Hang in there.
This mess will be over soon.
This is all your fault.
You said they were
just like us, only dead.
Now they want our brains.
Well just let them try.
I'll kill them all.
I swear I will.
I don't want your brains.
Somebody gonna get
an ass whoopin
if you don't stop talking.
No, no, no. Let him go.
What?
Let him go.
Go home. Get out of here.
Your family needs you.
Why'd we let him go?
I recognized him.
His brother was one of
the delegates killed today.
Damn.
Come on, man. We need bizkits.
Hey, we're dying in here.
Get us some bizkits.
Marjorie.
Sun Mei.
Marjorie.
Thank god you're here.
This is the fourth detention
area that I've checked.
They couldn't tell me where
you were. Are you okay?
I'm fine.
Do you need anything?
We need bizkits.
They aren't feeding us.
Why aren't you feeding
the Talkers?
No bizkits. They're all gone.
These bucket heads
don't know anything.
I need to find Estes.
We need to find bizkits.
These Talkers are going to turn.
We'll be back soon, okay?
All right, right there
where it was repaired.
Got it.
Somebody's coming.
Stop right there!
What's going on?
Why aren't you at your post?
We caught them at the fence.
Get away from there.
I told you it needed to...
Was that necessary?
Probably.
Doc and CZ,
we're taking George to Pacifica.
10K, you and Sarge
find Sun Mei and Red,
and you join us as soon as you
can. We're gonna need you.
Here, take this.
Ready?
Here, Talker Talker.
Here we go, boys.
Free lunch.
Hey, Talkers.
That's close enough.
Your life depends
on the next decision you make.
Crap.
We'll take those weapons.
Hey, guys. Don't leave us
out here like this.
Be thankful we don't mercy you.
We'll leave these
just up the road.
And just to prove we're not
all bad,
here's a sock for each of you.
Catch.
Let's go!
Shit.
What do you want?!
Stop! I mean it! Who are you?!
Wesson?
Is that really you?
It's been a long time
since Murphytown, sir.
What the hell
is wrong with you?!
You scared the life
out of me!
Good one.
We missed you, sir.
We?
We're a dozen blends strong,
sir.
We've been waiting
for your return.
Somebody's taken
all the bizkits.
Marjorie keeps a stash
somewhere.
Hi, Red. Where's Margie?
What are you guys...
Where does Marjorie
keep bizkits?
Underneath the microscopes
behind me.
I have one
in my pocket too.
Thanks.
That should hold you over
till we get back.
Delicious. I really love those.
You can taste the brains
in every bite.
Stay here.
Okee dokee.
Warren says we have to get out
of Altura.
Like five minutes ago.
I have a detention pen
full of Talkers
who will melt down
without these bizkits.
I'll go with Sun Mei. We'll
meet at the cut in the fence.
Hi.
Hi.
So, you gonna introduce me
to your friend?
Let's go someplace we can talk.
Alone.
I can take a hint.
Dante has escaped with two,
possibly three Talkers.
He was driving the van
that crashed the gate.
I assumed as much.
We sent a patrol after them.
And the Talkers?
Almost fully contained.
Just tracking down the last few.
And George?
She appears to have left Altura
with a group of new arrivals.
Well, keep trying to locate
them.
They may be headed back
to Pacifica.
If they are, we will find them.
You can leave finding Dante
to me.
He couldn't have gotten
that far.
You make me feel
so alive.
When I saw you in Altura,
I knew that was you.
We've been really busy
in your absence, sir.
I think you'll be pleased.
Yes, well, let's not get
carried away... yet.
Car!
Get down,
get down, get down.
What are you...
What are you doing?
Don't be afraid, sir.
What is this?
You're all blends?
Carpool.
Carpool?
Yeah.
We all work together.
Work?
Where?
Limbo.
Limbo?
Yes, sir.
And I think you'll like it there
too.
I can't believe
this is happening.
Nothing good lasts.
I hope you're wrong about that.
I didn't know if you were dead
or turned or what happened.
You were just gone.
I didn't know
if I'd ever see you again.
I checked every truckload
of new arrivals.
I was so afraid I'd lost you
forever.
I never stopped
thinking about you.
I have to ask you...
about you... and Sarge.
Yeah?
You seem so...
connected.
Yeah.
But I mean it's different.
It's not like it is with you.
Is that how she feels?
I've known Dante
since the Black Rain.
He'd risk his post-life
for any of us.
Dante will go to Pacifica.
He'll have an explanation.
Estes and his Talker round-up
is only making things worse.
Estes is trying to
protect everyone,
but it's so wrong headed.
It's not like him.
Is that Dante's van?
Nobody's home.
What's that smell?
Over here.
Oh my god.
This is just getting started.
We don't deserve a planet.
Is Dante here?
No. He must have escaped.
Or been taken prisoner.
We got a live one here.
There we go.
Who did this to you?
Carlos.
Carlos. Carlos, is Dante here?
Blink once for yes
or twice for no.
Were you headed to Pacifica?
Did Altura Militia do this?
They were tortured. Whoever
did this wanted information.
I don't understand, Carlos.
I'm sorry.
Let me.
Mercy.
I give you mercy.
Marjorie. Marjorie.
Marjorie. Marjorie.
Marjorie. Marjorie.
Come here.
Come on. Come on.
Here, here. This is for you.
Here.
Feeling better?
Yes.
You there! Get away from him!
They're starving! Can't you see
they need bizkits?
You're making them crazy!
Hands off her, soldier!
Let him go!
Hey!
No!
Get out of here. Find Dante.
Almost there.
What about Sarge and Sun Mei?
You worry about Sarge
a lot.
See. It's all good.
Go on. I'll be right there.
Hey!
Get out of here!
I'm not going.
Sun Mei.
My work is too important.
I'm so close to a breakthrough.
I need the lab.
10K.10K.
Help 10K. I'll get the Zs.
10K!
Help! Sarge!
Behind you!
I got it! Help 10K!
10K! Go!
Sarge! No!
I'm sorry, 10K.
There was no other
way.
I couldn't lose you
like that. I had to do it.
There was...
there was no other way.
Sarge is a hero.
She saved both of your lives.
I'll be right back.
The cut was clean.
But we need to keep
a close eye on him.
What do I say to him?
You saved his life.
I'll be right back.
Who would do something
so terrible?
I've met a few humans.
And Talkers are just
human enough.
Did Dante escape?
Or was he taken prisoner?
Or what if Estes was right?
What if Dante
was somehow behind the blast?
What if he changed?
Became more zombie...
And I missed it?
No, no. Your belief in him came
from your gut, not your head.
Always go with your gut.
We were so close to having this
whole thing come together.
So close.
There's still time
to put it all together.
But there's not that much time
left.
Puppies and kittens.
Puppies and kittens.
