Z Nation (2014–…): Season 5, Episode 5 - Killing All the Books - full transcript
Pacifica is bombed and the heroes decide to follow the Talker Underground to stop whoever is behind the attacks.
Previously on Z Nation...
They are not human.
You will put them in quarantine,
and then we'll all be safe.
Now that I have your attention,
you say you want to form a new country.
Please do not build it on fear.
You got vigilantes out there that are
sending messages of hate.
You're only alive because of each other.
Oh, God.
Kaya, this is Warren. We're
coming alongside the building.
Kaya! Can you hear me?
Cara!
Cara? What happened?
Some kind of explosion.
We're trying to get the survivors out.
Mayday. The library is under attack.
Help. Save what you can.
It's definitely her.
That means she's still in the library.
She's not the only one.
Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.
Pacifica under attack.
Send help. Anyone who
can hear me. Mayday.
Mayday. Mayday. Mayday. The library.
Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.
Pacifica under attack.
Send help. Send any help.
Anyone who can hear me.
Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.
Mayday. The library is under attack.
JZ?
Baby?!
Oh, where'd you go?
JZ!
Nana!
How many more injured inside?
Can't say. People. Zombies.
More bombs. Who knows what else.
Okay. You and Cara set
up a triage outside.
- All right?
- Got it.
We'll go in and search for survivors.
That way is completely blocked!
I think there's another way on
the other side of the building!
I'll try this way!
We'll check the library.
Where'd a zombie come from?
Don't know whether to
pike him or rescue him.
Save who we can.
And mercy the others.
All the books we had left were here.
Everything we knew from before.
How to live together.
Build a country.
Boom!
Help! Help!
Hey, hey. It's okay.
You're trapped under this thing. Damn.
I saw...
I saw...
Saw what? I'm with you man. I'm
listening. What'd you see?
Explo...
Explo...
Explosion?
Br...
Z...
Zombies. Are you saying zombies?
Zombies!
I got bizkits here. I got them.
Zombies!
Roberta, duck!
Dead and down the old fashioned way.
Heads up!
Get him!
Looks like Henry Krinkle, MD, here,
was at a plastic surgery
convention in Orlando.
Ooh, damn, Dr. Krinkle.
Looks like time's treated you rough.
Might be time for a tune up.
This one looks like it's
from old America too.
None of these zombies are ours.
Okay, so how did they all get up here?
And why didn't the Black
Rain bring them back?
That sounds human.
Pacifica under attack.
Send help. Send any help.
Anyone who can hear me. Mayday.
Mayday. Mayday. Mayday.
The library is under...
Kaya! JZ!
Oh, my God.
JZ! Nana!
I know. Zombies. Old ones.
Yeah. I already killed three.
Gonna kill more. Kill all
of them if I have to.
They are not gonna eat my baby!
No way, mama.
Just... take your time.
Dammit!
Let me take a look.
It's fine.
It's not fine.
Maybe you should take a break.
Or use your left hand.
Just forget it.
Hey, hey, hey, stay with
me. You're gonna be...
Something tells me we're gonna
find a lot more Talkers
before the day is out.
This whole building is unsafe.
We got to check the other
side of the library.
Doc, can you handle triage?
Yeah, I got this, Warren.
Be safe, brother.
- How many zombies are in here?
- Too many.
It's bad, it's bad.
I got bizkits.
It's okay, man. I got bizkits.
You good?
My library. Those bastards
destroyed my library.
Wait, you saw it?
You saw what happened? Who
destroyed the library?
- Zombies...
- Zombies?
With...
Phwwwtt.
Exploding chests?
Oh, defibrillator?
No.
Phwwwt.
Exploding vests?
- Like suicide bombers?
- Suicide.
More. More...
More explosives?
- More zombies?
- More zombies.
Like a second wave like at Altura?
Well, how'd they get in? Did you see?
Talkers.
Talkers? Are you sure?
Save... the books.
We're gonna try.
Cara?
Where are they? They could be anywhere.
No. We need to think strategically.
You mean think like Nana?
Yeah.
What are you doing?
I'm getting into Nana zone.
The panic room at Northern Light,
that was like an out of
the way closet, right?
Was it?
That's where she would go.
So you think that Nana knows
the closet layout of
the Pacifica library?
She likes to hide her tobacco stash.
- All right. After you.
- Okay.
Shhh.
Zom-bomb.
Be right back.
Help!
Hey!
It's okay. Hang in there Brian.
George.
I got you. I'm here.
I can't move.
My spine.
Shhh.
I'm scared.
I'm right here.
It's okay. I got you.
Cara?
Cara? Cara? Hey. Hey.
Come on. Cara?
Cara?
Hey. Shhh.
Shhh. You just need a bizkit, okay?
I need bizkits!
She's starting to turn.
Bizkits!
Hey,
what do you wanna do here?
We could... just leave them.
Let nature take its course.
Nature?
Look at them.
That's no kind of life for anyone.
Right.
Hey.
I'll do it.
Hey, look at me. Look at me.
Cara Jones,
I give you mercy.
If I shoot it, probably will blow up.
Pike it, might fall on the
timer and trigger it.
Oh, shit.
They killed all the books.
People are dead.
People who were just...
living their lives in what was
supposed to be a safe place.
New...
And now everybody is scattered
because we just can't
trust Talkers anymore.
You know that's not true.
Doesn't matter what's true.
It matters what people believe.
Listen.
We cannot stop fighting
for what we believe in.
- What we believe in.
- Yeah.
What we believe in.
_
What do we do now?
We save who we can.
And we find out who did this.
And we get your damn country back.
We still have friends out there.
You maybe wanna go find them?
_
Hon.
Gorilla grape flavor.
My boy's been this way.
We're coming, baby!
JZ! Where are you, buddy?
JZ! Where are you?
- Momma?
- Good work, babe.
Yeah. We'll be right there, baby.
Momma! Momma!
Oh! He's gonna blow!
Ah, man?
Come here, you damn Z bomb!
No, don't fight him! He's gonna blow!
Here, zombie, zombie, zombie.
Here, zombie.
No, no! Go back! Call him!
Call him back!
- Hey!
- Come on! Over here!
Here, zombie, zombie, zombie!
Fire in the hole!
Oh no, don't worry about me. I'm good.
But I could use a light.
JZ! Mama's here.
Good God, come here.
_
Jesus.
Hey, hey, a little help here.
Goddamn apocalypse.
- Kaya.
- I see her.
It's okay, baby.
- We'll take care of you.
- She's turning!
- Just come with us now, okay?
- Someone help her!
What do I do? What do I do?
I'm out of bizkits. Hold her down.
Mercy her! Someone!
Before she bites us all!
She just needs a bizkit!
We don't have any bizkits!
Mercy her!
Move!
If we would have
quarantined the Talkers,
none of this would have happened!
It's not safe here!
It's a Talker uprising!
Only I don't see
any of our Talkers out there
among the bombers, do you?
Where have you been this whole time
while we were under attack?
Actually, I was busy dying.
And what about the Talkers who fled?
You all plotted this
together, didn't you?
All I see are zombies out there
and the humans that they turned.
Zombies. That's who attacked you.
- Not Talkers.
- But who sent the zombies?
I bet your friend Dante knows.
He might.
He might also be dead.
I know a lot of you think
our dream here is over.
Talkers and humans can't live together.
I'm not giving up on Newmerica.
Not yet.
You're gonna get us all killed!
Talkers are not humans!
I just don't feel safe here anymore!
They're scared.
And they should be.
We got to find Dante.
We need to find who's doing this.
Indeed.
It's Altura. They came.
Hey! Over here! Hi!
Altura. Must've heard Kaya's SOS.
They're here to take people away.
Yeah, well that's a good thing,
right? They're here to help.
Thank you so much for coming!
Thank you. Thank you.
No. Not all the people.
Uh-uh, uh-uh. No wounded.
What do you mean no wounded?
We have a right to safety
just like anyone else.
Those are our orders. Humans only.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I said humans only.
No, man, I'm not a Talker.
Hey, no, wait. No! No!
You shot me!
And yet you're still talking.
Sorry, but you stay.
There are no bizkits here.
We're gonna...
What, what, what? Turn?
That's exactly why you
can't come with us.
No, no, no. No books.
It's okay. It's okay. You go.
These will be here when you get back.
If any living humans want
to seek refuge in Altura,
we leave in five minutes.
Five minutes?
But the books... Archives...
That's not enough time
to save everything.
We're not here to save books.
We're here to save humans.
If you're going, you need to
leave now before it gets dark.
We can't keep you safe here after that.
Listen here, bro.
Why don't you give them one hour
and let them save what they can?
Let's go.
Three minutes!
Hey.
We're sending Nana and JZ to Altura.
They'll be safer there.
We're not giving up. We're staying.
You're right. They'll be safer
there. You should go too.
What?
Look, the first attacks happened there.
We want to know who's behind this.
I think someone needs
to be on the inside.
Good thinking.
All right, boss. We can do that.
Deuces.
Deuces. Hey buddy,
we're going on a trip.
Anyone else going?
Any humans?
No?
Suit yourself.
Let's get this over with.
So much destruction.
And now everyone, humans,
are scattered in the wind.
I really don't want to
leave it like this.
Stronger together, right?
Isn't that what you say?
I did.
That was just an idea, really. A hope.
Maybe that's not enough anymore.
Come on.
Hope is...
Sometimes that's all we got.
And sometimes...
Hope is all you need.
Yeah, I think you were
nicknamed George for a reason.
You know, sometimes a great idea
is worth more than you think.
Here. That'll keep you going.
_
Thank you.
Okay.
I'm ready to go now.
What do we have here?
Looks like Homer, yes.
Greek Mythology.
That'd be over by Yolanda.
Here's three more.
Guess we all go green eventually, right?
All right. Give them black leaves.
At least now they won't be forgotten.
Would've been nice of Dante
to leave me a message.
Hey, maybe he did.
We're definitely on the right track.
That's a trail marker.
Safe passage for the Talkers?
Hopefully.
- We better get there first.
- Indeed.
They are not human.
You will put them in quarantine,
and then we'll all be safe.
Now that I have your attention,
you say you want to form a new country.
