iZombie (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 10 - Method Head - full transcript

LIV: Previously on iZombie...

You're not a cop and I've been
treating you like one.

You and me? It's over.

I need this.
This is my one thing.

Vaughn, the guy who owns the
company thinks he walks on water,

that he can charm anyone.

So, I'm trying to figure out
a way to use that.

So, we'll be taking that
tainted Utopium

that we need to make the cure.

You said he knew
where to find it.

Old high school buddy of mine
was a drug dealer.



Him and this other dealer swallowed
a bunch of condoms full of Utopium.

Someone must've found out.

Last thing that he saw
was the Jensen water tower.

So we have two bodies
packed full of tainted Utopium

buried in a shallow grave.

So, we start digging.

BLAINE: It's a needle in
a haystack, man.

Being a zombie has changed me.

We belong with our own kind.

- Are we breaking up?
- We have to.

RAVI: If the cured rat
regressed to zombie form,

it's more than likely that
our cured humans will as well.

Hey, I just got your message.

I came as soon as I could.



I texted you last night.
Several times.

- Where were you?
- Out thinking.

- Where were you, Pigpen?
- Out digging.

You should probably
have a seat.

Why, what happened?

He wouldn't tell me, either.

I thought you should both
hear this at the same time.

Oh, no, are you
and Mom getting divorced?

Last night, our cured rat,
New Hope,

reverted to her previous
state as a zombie.

Which means the cure
is only temporary.

In rats, temporary.

Likely, humans too,
I'm afraid.

It appears a latent form
of the virus was lurking

in New Hope,
and somehow re-activated.

There's no reason to think
it won't do the same in you.

How long do I have?

It could be a day,
six months, a year.

I should know more
after I run some tests.

(SIGHS)

Silver lining...

You know, you two
finally will be able

to have hot zombie sex. Right?

Room temperature zombie sex?

- Yeah, about that...
- We broke up.

(MOUTHING)

Ah. Right. (CLEARS THROAT)

I see why you were out
all night thinking.

The digging, were you...

Searching for
the tainted Utopium.

We need it to make more cure.

Where do you think it is?

In the stomach of a dead drug
dealer with a prosthetic leg.

Well, the good news is, we've
managed to narrow the location

of his unmarked grave to
a single 100-acre field.

You really need to work on the
whole "Good news" concept.

How long have I got?

If it's less than
a couple weeks,

I need to add brains
to my Christmas wish-list.

Hard to say.

We're starting a pool.
You interested?

Just when I thought I was out,
they pull me back in.

(THEME MUSIC PLAYING)

(BELLS JINGLING)

This isn't the sort of visit from
old Saint Nick I had in mind.

Beard color,

white as snow.

Happy holidays.
What've you got?

Here.

This pipe appears to have
struck our victim in the teeth

and caused the mortal bruises that
encircle his head like a wreath.

David Biel, a resident of the
Yesler Mission Men's Shelter.

Lately, he's been
raising them money

at Third and Cherry dressed
like this, ringing a bell.

Any idea why someone rang his?

No. Could be
a robbery gone bad.

Dead Santa,
the night before Christmas?

No shortage of
potential vision triggers.

Maybe I'll get something.

Yeah, shoot me an email.

Sorry.

I know how much you want Clive to
restore your investigative privileges.

Meantime...

Yes, Olivia,
there is a Santa Claus brain.

(DETECTOR PINGING)

(GRUNTS)

(METAL DETECTOR BEEPS)

My high school coach thought digging
holes and filling them built character.

He'd be so proud.

Wait.

Add it to the,
"Not Utopium" pile.

(DETECTOR PINGS)

RAVI: At this rate, we'll have dug
up the entire field by Easter.

More digging? God...

Rest, ye merry gentlemen.

I brought the traditional
Peking Duck.

I love how giving you are
on this Santa brain.

I got you
a little something, Liv.

Aw.

(GASPS)

Zombie High,
The Complete Second Season!

-(GASPS)
- What's my gift?

Not having to watch that.

(MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

(MUSIC QUIETS)

I bring good tidings of
great joy and Benjamins!

Merry Christmas!

Get those deliveries out to all the
good little boys and girls, huh?

You! You! Merry Christmas.

Not to be a humbugger,

some of our customers are getting restless.
They miss Natalie.

I'm working on it, okay?

A new zombie hooker isn't just
going to show up under the tree.

Can you see?

Baracus handed down his
latest round of indictments

against Mr. Boss'
organization.

-(BLAINE CHUCKLES)
- This is good, right?

The D.A.'s taking out
our competition.

That's a very
merry Christmas, indeed.

- Yay!
-(CHUCKLES)

Well, would you look
who's back from sabbatical.

What did you bring me,
Chief? A turkey?

Even better.

The guy who shot you
in the face.

You see?

This...

This is what the holidays
are all about.

(ALL CHEERING)

(TURNS UP MUSIC VOLUME)

-(CORK POPS)
-(PARTY HORNS BLOWING)

(INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS)

(SIGHS) Man,
last night almost killed me.

You sure know
how to ring it in.

Yup. Day one of the new year.

We put in a solid eight hours.
Let's call it.

Oh, I can't.

I'm doing another canvass
of Pioneer Square.

Swing by when you're done
and you can canvass this.

And by canvass,
I mean have sex with.

Ooh.

(CHUCKLES)

I've got some information
about the Santa Claus murder.

- This girl said I should come in.
- What girl?

I don't know.
Some pale blondie.

Huh.

Let's hear it.

(METAL DETECTOR BEEPING)

(SIGHS) And another beer can.

Well, here's where the ancient
drunken tribe of...

Shh...

Look.

Is that what she looks like
when she's having a vision?

(SHUDDERS)

I've gotta go talk to Clive.

A witness saw you outside the
shelter flashing a roll of cash.

Where'd you get the money?

I had my broker sell
some tech stocks.

This might help.

(SIGHS)

So, I just got word that a
witness places you at a bar

across the street
minutes before the murder.

You know, it's hard enough
being a rich zombie.

You've got to worry
about paying taxes,

eating brains.

And now some
nut-job's out there

picking off your kind like
ducks in a shooting gallery.

(SIGHS)

-(CHUCKLES)
- BLAINE: What happened, Chief?

You tussle with a Doberman?

One of our client's bodyguards
went after Chief by mistake.

Oh, he thinks he may
have scratched him.

Well, I guess we'll hear soon if
all zombie hell breaks loose.

(ZOMBIES GROANING)

(PANTING)

It's okay. It's okay.

It's okay.
You're safe.

- She's not okay.
- What?

She's been scratched.

You know the rules, Hayley.

(HAYLEY BREATHING HEAVILY)

A zombie didn't scratch me!

It was just a pricker bush.

Put the gun away.

She's been scratched, man.
She's gonna be one of them.

She said it was a pricker bush.
I believe her.

(GUN CLICKS)

Looks like you're gonna have to
make a decision here, Burdick.

Looks like you will, too.

(GROANING)

DIRECTOR: Cut!

- Come on, people!
-(BELL RINGING)

There's only one gunshot.
So why are there two squibs?

Standards won't let us get
away with that much blood.

DIRECTOR:
Then let's go again.

(SCREAMING)

Last night, I was watching
Zombie High,

and now I'm friggin' in it.

But only because
the star's been murdered.

Is there a word that means
both cool and awful?

In the 16th century,
the word was egregious.

Now it just means,
“shockingly bad.“

As in, the way Zombie High
treats science.

It's not supposed to be a
documentary on zombie biology.

Then mission accomplished.

It's about
love and friendship,

and what happens when a group of
kids face the biggest exam of all,

survival.

(GASPS) on, my God.

That's where Burdick
defied Principal Henson

and went out looking
for more ammo.

(GASPS)

And this is
the drinking fountain

where Burdick
first got the news

that his foster brother
was his actual brother.

(RAVI GASPS)

And that's where Burdick died.

Victim's death was
nearly instantaneous,

from a single bullet
that severed the aorta.

We'll retrieve the slug when we
get the body back in the morgue.

It was supposed to be a blank.

Somehow, the prop gun got
switched with this loaded .45.

Victim's name was
Jordan Mason Marsh.

- Decent actor?
- He had his fans.

We're still looking
for the prop gun.

The actor who
pulled the trigger

apparently had no idea
he was holding a real weapon.

- Who was that?
- Wyatt Carver.

Cod!!-

- Sorry.
- Uh, she's seen every episode.

- On purpose.
- All right.

I'll drop by the morgue
once I've wrapped up here.

Right. Well, then...

You should get them to show
you footage of the shooting.

That was the plan.

Okay.

Talk to the props master.
He should...

This is not
my first rodeo, Liv.

Liv.

You really know
this show, huh?

That can come in handy.

You mind helping me out
with this one?

Go. Of course.

What do you say we
go catch some bad guys?

Uh, don't get
carried away now.

We'll take it day by day.
See how it goes.

(JORDAN GROANING)

(BODY THUDS)

It's so incredibly tragic.

Can you think of anyone who might
have wanted to kill Jordan?

He was an intense young man.
That could cause friction.

Can we get access to dailies?

There might be something
in them that speaks to motive.

Here's the online password.
We archive every take.

Anything else you need,
just ask...

My assistant.

(GRUNTING)

- Thirteen...
-(GROANING)

Fourteen.
You got it, one more.

(GRUNTING)

Yeah, one more.

-(STRAINING)
- Push.

(SCREAMS)

- Fifteen.
-(GROANING)

Way to work, VDC.

Look at them guns, son.

Hmm?

(CHUCKLES) I can't
lift my fist that high.

(CHUCKLES) Then
we're doing something right.

But it's time
to kick things up a notch.

No!

My own fitness band?

On, boy.

I guess this means
we're going steady, huh?

- He said, "Yes."
-(CHUCKLES)

Hey, you know, I really
appreciate your dedication.

To my training, and to your
extracurricular duties.

I mean, you're really
plowing through your list.

-(INTERCOM BEEPS)
- WOMAN: Mr. Du Clark,

Dr. Lockett is anxious
to show you something.

Tell him I'll be
down there when I can.

Uh, down where?

I thought this was
the lowest level.

We got a lab in Tacoma.

- Tacoma's, what, 40 miles away?
- Mmm-hmm.

Seems like a good
goal for the week.

- To the treadmill!
-(INHALES DEEPLY)

- Come on.
-(GROANING)

Did you find the prop gun?

Not yet.

You can bet it'll be me who gets
fired fer it, not Numbnuts.

I lcve the cute little nicknames
the crew have for the actors.

I don't know how
many times I told him.

Never take eyes off
your firearm.

What I don't get is how do you pick
up a real gun and not realize it'?

That's a Smith & Wesson peeking
out of your shoulder holster?

Yeah, a model 59-06.

Well, this...

ls a prop.

Can you tell the difference?

Whoa.
This could be my gun.

Except this
only shoots blanks.

So where do we find Numbnuts?

Jordan was
a method actor's actor.

He was very professional.

Thoughtful, technical.

He raised everybody's game.

Jordan's initials?

I remember the scene
you and he did in here

after your prom date
cheated on you

and Jordan helped
you through it.

And then he threw acid in the
zombie chem teacher's face.

(SIGHS)

Dude saved my life.
I couldn't save his.

I couldn't save his.

(SIGHS)

You had a few scenes
today with the prop gun.

Any idea where you
might have put it down?

I didn't put it down.

You're sure?

Never take eyes
off your firearm.

That's the number one rule.

So, you're saying you shot Jordan
with the gun you were handed?

That's exactly
what I'm saying.

Look, I gotta bounce.

But help yourselves.

Anything? Really?

Wyatt seemed pretty adamant about
not putting down his prop gun.

It's like every candy
bar on Earth.

What if Prop Master Fitz
intentionally handed him a real gun,

with a bullet in the chamber?

Interesting theory.

Oh, man.

This muffin is still warm.

Or maybe Wyatt switched
the prop gun for the real gun

because he wanted
to kill Jordan.

Maybe.

Did you know the donuts at the
precinct are all day-old?

That's how civil servants
are valued.

Although, if Wyatt set
the whole thing up,

Why not say you
put down the prop?

If anyone could've done it,
you've got a better alibi.

Is that lasagna?

(LIV SIGHS)

It's hard for me to
imagine Wyatt doing it.

Did you see his face?
He was devastated.

CLIVE: Yeah, he seems
real devastated.

I think I'm seeing motive.

“Who will survive?“

Yeah, they kill off a major character
each season. It's kind of their thing.

CLIVE: Season One,
Wyatt's up front.

Season Two,
Jordan has joined him.

Season Three,
Jordan is the main man.

Where do you think Wyatt will
be standing Season Four now?

Yeah.

Well, there it is.

Some of the most famous
junk in America.

Cover it.

Cover it. Who gets
pierced there? Why?

It's called a Prince Albert.

I wonder how you get it
through airport security?

You two don't seem
that skeeved.

We've pulled stranger
things out of corpses.

Golf balls. A snake.

Besides, we were expecting it.

Jordan's pierced...

Yeah, it's front and center
on his sex tape.

He had a sex tape?

Aw... So innocent.

It co-starred Zombie High 's
own Starlee Decker.

She plays Hayley, desired
by both Burdick and Cody.

She and Jordan
were an IRL item.

Yeah, the tape went public
about a year ago

after same burglar broke into
Starlee's house and stole her laptop.

Some advice, Clive? Always keep
your sex tapes on the cloud.

LIV: Theirs blew up.

It was huge. It actually
helped the show's ratings.

Jordan became
the breakout star.

Mmm. The lighting
and composition

were above par
for a celebrity sex tape.

But enough about
Jordan's famous genitals.

Check it out.

A tattoo.

"Never forget.“ In the
process of being removed.

Hmm.

Painful and ironic.

But never forget what?

(MICROWAVE BEEPS)

RAVI: Ugh, it's like a
bad-acting workshop.

This is what you get
when a TV show

worships at the
altar of youth,

bimbos and himbos
running around screaming,

in a school where, apparently,
shop class isn't the only place

to see something wooden
and poorly constructed.

That one needs to remember her
character's emotional truth.

That's the essence of acting.
It's a search for truth.

Tell me more about this truth
and how to find it.

To create a reality where the
truth is fear of zombies,

I would draw on a sense memory
of something that scared me.

Like the time I went camping
and I saw a bear.

Or the times you've
seen actual zombies.

My point is
you don't act with words.

You act with your soul.
With your imagination.

That's what gives
the words life.

Remember what it's like
to eat an apple?

Oh, look there's one now,
ripening on this tree.

Hey, I was saving that.

The skin is so
smooth and cool.

Here, let me make it
shiny before I...

Mmm.

So crisp and juicy.

Oh, sorry. I got some on you.

Fascinating.

I wish I had some popcorn.

Oh, wait, I do.

I think we've got
a major problem.

(SIGHS)

A "Major" major problem
or a minor major problem?

I saw your little bro-down
in the gym.

- Oh...
- He's playing you.

Please.

You can't play a player.

You're too vain to see it.

He's blinded you
with man-jewelry

and the promise
of a rock-hard ass.

Well,

promise delivered.

Do you know what Mom
used to say about you?

"You should've gotten
that man's name?“

Vaughn Du Clark,

smartest man in the world
until you stroke his ego.

Then he's like all the rest.

Sorry, player.

(SNIFFS)

The almond milk seems off.

Just get me a
kale-ginger juice.

We were hoping
to find Starlee.

Poor thing was in no condition
to play a devastated teenager.

I pushed her call till 3:00.

I'd be happy to get you
time with her tomorrow.

About those billboards.

Had you decided who was going to
be written off the show this year?

We hadn't.

With Jordan's death, I guess the
decision's been made for us.

Where's my kale-ginger?

The class that Jordan adopted wants
10 seats at the memorial service.

Never a dull moment.
Please, eat.

I recommend the salmon.

- Thanks.
- Mmm-hmm.

Nice work in that
chase scene yesterday.

Oh, grazie. You must be new.

Has anyone showed you
how zombies walk?

Oh, we're just here
investigating Jordan's murder.

Oh, sorry.

Um, Wyatt told us he never
lost track of his prop gun.

As far as you know,
is that true?

(CHUCKLES) Hilarious.

That dude loses his gun
all the time.

It turns up in transpo vans,

uh, restrooms,
the silverware tub.

We should cut him some slack.
At least Wyatt talks to us.

Unlike our dear departed
Marlon Bran-douche.

Jordan wouldn't
even acknowledge us.

That's because he wasn't playing Burdick.
He was being Burdick.

Burdick hated zombies, ergo...

Hey, hey, without us,
there is no Zombie High.

It's just... High.

Yeah, where's
the mutual respect?

You know what'd be fun?

A zombie show
where a zombie's the star.

That's dumb.

Jordan might've
been a good actor,

but try to find anyone on the crew
that'll say anything good about him.

He didn't care that he was
gonna put us all out of work.

How's that?

He's such a big star now that he was
trying to get the show moved down to L.A.

so he could pursue
his movie career.

Avoid the flan.

What's with you?
Why were you all twitchy?

(SIGHS) Zombies
kinda freak me out.

Oh, my God. It's Kell Guthrie.

He's deaf. He plays Daniel,
the gifted student.

He has the power
to smell zombies.

I'm more interested
in his tattoo.

The tattoo is a tribute to an
assistant director named Jenny Hulce.

She died last season.

She fell asleep at the wheel, driving
home from set at 5:00 in the morning.

We saw Jordan was getting
his tattoo removed.

(SCOFFS)

(MOUTHING)

He says, "That figures.“

Well, we heard
Jordan could be intense.

INTERPRETER: "He'd only answer
to his character name, Burdick.

"He refused to shower when the zombies
cut off the water supply at the school.

"He demanded
30 takes for every scene.

"It wasn't intense,
it was insane."

Jordan had us working so late on
Fridays, we called them Fraturdays.

(POUNDING ON TABLE)

Kell says, “Jenny Hulce
would be alive,

"if Jordan didn't cause
production to shoot so late."

WYATT: Hey, bro.
Sorry to cut in.

You want to check out set?

They're ready for
my next scene.

Go. I'll finish up here.

So, basically, this next scene here, 34,
is about Cody overcoming his fears.

- So, he...
- Wyatt.

Scene 34 revisions.

Sweet. Can I get a copy
for my friend here?

- Thank you.
- Thanks.

I'm lucky.

I was born with one of those
kinds of minds that, uh...

How do you call 'em again?

- Photographic?
- Yes.

I'm messing with you.

Seriously, though, I only need to hear the
words a few times before I lock 'em in.

Hey, you know what?
You wanna run lines with me?

You be Hayley.

- Me?
- Yeah.

Sure!

So, even with all the changes,

this scene's still about
Cody finding the courage...

Let's do it. (CLEARS THROAT)

“Cody crosses to Hayley,
who is crying."

(SOBBING)
Burdick's gone, Cody.

Wow.

Okay. (CLEARS THROAT)

I know that, Hayley.

But there's a whole lot of us
who still need you.

What am I supposed
to do about it, Hayley?

Do I act like
zombies don't exist?

Like, all, no biggie. Burdick
transferred to South Union High.

Who wants to help me
with homecoming float?

LIV: Don't act like
everything's cool!

Don't act like we're not in the
middle of a zombie apocalypse!

Don't act like life as we know
it will ever be the same.

Just act like you know
what to do with this.

Let's do this thing.

(CREW CLAPPING)

- Wyatt?
- Right.

Looks like
they're ready for me.

You know, I...
I didn't see a slap in here.

- Interesting choice.
-lt just felt honest.

I'll see you around.

(SUCKS TEETH)

Huh, looks like we knew who's
gonna be front-and-center

on the Season Four poster.

Thanks, but I'm happy
in my current job.

(LIV SIGHS)

It was all about finding
my motivation.

(SIGHS)

Have they posted
the new dailies?

I wanna see how Starlee
played my scene with Wyatt.

- Your scene?
- Well, Hayley's.

- She helps Cody to overcome...
- No, no, no, no!

No spoilers! I'm only halfway
through Season Two.

I thought you hated the show.

I did. But it's like mental
pork rinds. I can't stop!

Although, I still don't see
why they shoot in Seattle

if the show's supposed
to take place in Portland.

Tax breaks.

Oh.

Did you get to the part where
Hayley and Burdick

put up a disco ball
in the janitor's closet?

I'd ship those two
if he weren't dead.

To that point, I also found
this, from Episode 210.

I got you something else
for your birthday, Daniel.

You can read lips, right?

(DOOR OPENING)

That's it!

KELL: Damn it, Jordan!

Which one of you bastards
upper-decked me?

- Keep rolling. Let's go again, right away!
- Okay...

lam sick and tired
of all these pranks!

They're not funny.

The security cameras go in tomorrow.
I'm gonna catch whoever's doing this!

(CYMBAL CRASHES)

Jordan wasn't a very popular
man on set, was he?

I wonder if he ever put
in those security cameras.

Dr. Lockett.

- Looks like we're both putting in some OT.
- Shh.

I'm going to expose Max Rager.

I'm taking all our
research to the press.

Why tell me this?

Because if I fail...

If I suddenly just disappear,
like my predecessors,

you need to be the one to tell
the world what goes on here.

About your work.
About my work.

About the existence
of zombies.

Maybe Jordan's surveillance cameras
caught the mystery defecator.

(SIGHS) Yeah, this is why
I became a detective.

(MUSIC PLAYS IN HEADPHONES)

(MOANING ON VIDEO)

Why is Starlee
in Jordan's trailer?

And what's she
doing on his computer?

(CLEARS THROAT) I'm Detective Babineaux.
This is Assistant ME Moore.

Yeah, um...

Jordan never took back
his key and I was just...

Worried he forgot to
do something else.

Update his system software?

I think he may have made another sex
tape of us and never destroyed it.

You think he'd do that
without letting you know?

Yeah, he could be a real...

I guess the word is...

You dick!

You want everyone to know that you
released that video, not some burglar?

Because I will tell the world!

JORDAN:
I don't think you will.

(GASPS)

Copy that.
They need you in wardrobe.

Oh, you're free to go.
We know where to find you.

What'd you see?

It sounded like Jordan
released the first sex tape,

not some burglar.

Starlee was pissed.

- Pissed enough to kill him?
- Maybe.

There was something else on that sex tape
that he was sure would keep her quiet.

The crime lab can
check the hard drive.

I doubt they'll find any
security cam footage, though.

No wires.

Fakes. Just for show.

(SIGHS)

Hey.

Sorry, I never
caught your name.

My boss never uses it.

Lana.

Yeah. What's up, Lana?

Bonnie lied.

The writers did decide
who to write off the show.

She just didn't want to deal with
damage control, if the cast found out.

- Was it Kell?
- No.

Starlee? Tara?

- Who's Tara?
- She plays Chloe, the artsy one.

Oh.

- Was it...
- It was Wyatt.

No!

And he knew
because I told him.

After we started
sleeping together.

He's so nice and...

He'd ask about my jcb and what was
going on in the writers' room.

Then a few months ago, he
read for the Blue Ranger part

in the new
Power Rangers movie.

I don't know if he has
the range for Blue.

Wyatt started agonizing about how this movie
might interfere with his job here next season.

And it killed me to
see him so worried.

So, I told him the truth.

That he was gonna bite the
big one on Zombie High.

Yeah.

Then he didn't get the movie
and he dumped me.

I just thought
you should know.

(SIGHS)

lf I'm hearing you right,

there's going to be another
Power Rangers movie?

The real headline is that I still
don't believe Wyatt's guilty.

I mean, he comes across
as so genuinely innocent.

If he were guilty, it would be
the performance of a lifetime.

Wait till you see what the computer lab
boys found on Jordan's hard drive.

(JORDAN CHUCKLES)

(JORDAN SIGHS)

Oh, when's your call time?

6:00.

I'm first up with Kell.

Aw, we missed the good stuff.

No, you didn't.

Lucky you.

(CHUCKLES) I can barely keep a
straight face working with him.

(IMITATING)
"I smell zombies."

"Are you there, zombies?
I can't hear you.“

What a horrible person!

And if that went public,
it would destroy her career.

That's what I thought.

So, as long as Jordan had this video,
he had total power over Starlee.

Absolutely.

Ravi took a video
of me snoring,

and I was on the
verge of ripping out

every follicle of his facial
hair if he hadn't deleted it.

-steady.
- Let's go pay Starlee a visit.

(MUSIC PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)

Nice robot.

It's a gift from a
Chinese business associate.

Sorry, there's nothing in here about it
being able to hunt and kill zombies.

Yeah, right now, I think we've got
an even bigger zombie problem.

Yeah? What would that be?

Dr. Lockett gave me this.

He said it contains
all of Max Rager's secrets.

He's going to give one to the
press, too, if you don't stop him.

DU CLARK: Dr. Lockett really
shouldn't have told you all this.

(ELEVATOR BELL DINGS)

Ah, well...

The damage has been done.

Might as well see
what he was talking about.

Welcome to Tacoma.

Ah. It's okay, Doc. I just
wanted to show him a feeding.

- Mind doing the honors?
- Of course.

We get our brains from a
medical testing facility.

Not exactly the
freshest supply,

but then again, our patrons aren't
what you would call choosy.

Did you ever see
a zombie, Major?

MAJOR: Yeah, you know,
I see them all the time.

Real zombies. Old-school zombies.
Horrible creatures.

That's why we got
all the safety doors.

(BEEPS)

-(KNOB RATTLING)
- DU CLARK: Yeah...

All right.

Vaughn? The door.

Yeah. Shh, it's good.
It's okay.

- I mean, there's so many buttons here.
- Vaughn?

I think this is
the light switch.

-(CLICKS)
-(GROWLING)

DU CLARK: There they are.

Come on, people.
Look alive-ish.

Please open this immediately!

Yeah. Yeah.

Vaughn! Open the damn door!

Open the damn door!

- Wonder how'd they'd fight...
- Vaughn! Vaughn!

If that was fresh.

-(POUNDING on GLASS)
-(GROWLS)

Open the damn door!

- Yeah, can't hear you.
- Just let me out of here.

Help me. Help me.

For the love of God, just let me
out of here. Just let me out!

(GROWLING)

DU CLARK:
You did it, my boy.

(BUTTON BEEPS)

You did it, you did it!

I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to put you through that.

You, too, Doc. Sorry.

So, he's not a whistle-blower?

No, no. Of course not.
It was just a charade, man.

It was a test. And you
passed with flying colors!

Hooray! Oh! Yeah!

This says Starlee and Wyatt are
both in HMW, whatever that is.

Hair, makeup, wardrobe.

Look. Jordan's new Porsche.

Really, dude?
A rag-top in Seattle?

Perfect for L.A., though.

(CAR ALARM BLARING)

(CAR ALARM CONTINUES)

JORDAN: What the hell?

Whoever did this,

I'm coming for you!

(GASPS)

(ALARM BEEPS OFF)

- Talk to me.
- Jordan's car.

Someone filled it with dirt, and stuck
in a tombstone for Jenny Hulce.

The crew member who fell asleep
at the wheel driving home

after Jordan kept the crew
shooting all night?

And the only other person
we know who died.

So, who cared enough
to kill Jordan over that?

Besides everyone who got
a "Never Forget“ tattoo?

I don't blame my wife's death
on Jordan Mason Marsh,

if that's what you're asking.

Sounds like
you blame someone.

I don't know. Maybe Jenny?

I told her to quit.

She always complained about her
job, but she wouldn't give it up.

Guess she had her reasons.

We saw the “Never Forget“
tattoos on the cast and crew.

Your wife must have
been pretty beloved.

More beloved by
some than others.

BLAINE: I'm sending it over as we speak.
On the house.

I'm even throwing in
a little something extra.

Hope you like to party.
(CLEARS THROAT)

Again, in my defense, I would
describe the deceased as slender.

We didn't realize
she was bulimic.

Yeah.

I'm gonna bring over the
replacement brains personally.

Mmm-hmm. Bye.

I told you, you need to take the
yellow coolers out of circulation.

They noted them
in the FBI report.

(DOOR BELL RINGING)

All the others are out.

(SIGHS)

John Deaux?

I'm Agent Dale Bozzio, FBI.
ls this a bad time?

Not at all.

It's so terrible, what's been happening
to all those poor rich people

disappearing like that.

Do you think they're dead?

I'm afraid
I can't comment on that.

I'm just following up on a phone
number registered in your name.

We found it in two
of our victims' phones.

I'm sorry, which number?
I've got a few.

Oh, that's a business line.

Do you recognize
either of the victims' names?

Tim Addis? Judy Holt?

A lot of people
call that number.

Uh...

They're asking about casket styles,
upholstery options, vermin resistance.

Two relatively young people who
called the same funeral home?

Young people
call all the time.

Generally, on the
behalf of old people.

Ah.

Let me give the database
a little look-see.

(KEYBOARD CLACKING)

Um...

I'm sorry.

I don't show either of those
poor souls in our system.

I hope they made
arrangements elsewhere.

Guessing it's a moot point when
there are no bodies to bury.

If you can think
of anything else...

Here.

(BLAINE CLEARS THROAT)

You're a big fella.

BLAINE: In an unrecovered
body situation,

many people opt for
an empty casket,

it can help create
a feeling of normalcy.

You know, death
being not ambiguous.

Good to know.

CLIVE: You know
why you're here, Fitz.

As prop master,
you figured you could slip

that .45 into the hands of
Jordan's clueless co-star, Wyatt.

He was well-known
for losing track of it.

And in the meantime,
you terrorized Jordan.

Defecated in his trailer.

Ruined the interior
of his Porsche.

Working those long hours,
the crew must really bond.

Especially the ones
sleeping together.

Like you and Assistant
Director Jenny Hume.

Who fell asleep at the wheel after
Jordan kept the crew working all night.

Yeah, Jenny's husband
told me about the affair.

He knew.

You didn't tell me
you were bringing him in.

Must have slipped my mind.

I thought
I was back on the team.

I told you how this was going to go, Liv.
Day-by-day.

So, now what? I'm supposed to just sit
in the morgue, twiddling my thumbs?

You're supposed
to do your job.

It's down there,
not here with me.

I am not going to just leave, so you
can bully him into a Murder One rap.

He deserves even worse
than life without parole.

D.A. thinks we can get
the death penalty.

It was a crime of passion!

It came months after his lover died.
It was calculated.

It's Murder Two, at most.

This isn't some monster.

I've met monsters.

This is a guy who lost
the woman he loved

and just needed
someone to blame.

FITZ: She's right.

I hated Jordan
for the accident.

But when I heard that they
were moving the show to L.A.,

just so Jordan could be
an even bigger star, I...

I snapped.

That's the day I handed
Wyatt the real .45.

It was a split-second
decision.

(MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS)

Oh, yeah.

Oh, we can go
like this all night.

(CHUCKLING)

(POWERING DOWN)

You think Dr. Lockett will
forgive you for actually

releasing those
Romeros on him?

Rehearsal's one thing.

But when it comes to playing
full-on, pant-soiling terror,

nothing beats having a
hungry zombie on your ass.

GILDA: You must be pleased Major
passed your loyalty test.

DU CLARK:
Our boy has seen the light.

This isn't some monster.

I've met monsters.

-(LIV CHUCKLES)
-(CHUCKLES)

You were really good in there.

I guess you figured
out your motivation.

My motivation?

That was easy.

Team back up with you.

I told you,
that's what I live for.

Hey, don't leave
on my account.

Oh, it's okay, Dale.

Liv.

See you tomorrow.

Interesting lead on
the Chaos Killer case.

The vic who went
missing in Seward Park...

Colin Andrews,
guy with the dog?

Good memory.

It's probably nothing, but we just learned his
pooch had one of those GPS tracking devices.

Gonna run it down tomorrow.

Mmm, maybe you'll get lucky.

Maybe.

Who's this?

Uh, a suspect in the
Meat Cute Massacre. Why?

I just met him.

Two of my missing presumed-dead
guys had his phone number on them.

This is our guy!
