iZombie (2015–…): Season 4, Episode 5 - Goon Struck - full transcript

[Liv] Previously on iZombie..

[Liv] Chase Graves decrees a death
penalty for scratching someone.

[Chase] Renegade's operation
turns more humans into zombies

than all other county outfits combined.

[Mama Leone] We need to be focused
on our very massive brain shortage.

If you fail in that, the
10,000 zombies we made

will come for your head.

[Chase] You bring me Renegade,

you go back to running
your establishments in peace.

[groans]

[Blaine] Renegade, meet Chase Graves.



_

[indistinct chatter]

Painfully evident that
zombies and humans do not mix.

Okay. Just so I'm following
your logic, Councilman.

Because humans and zombies,
as you say, do not mix,

the appropriate response is for the
mayor to fire this bus driver?

This zombie bus driver.

UNION REP:
You know the union's position.

First of all, they've got no proof
that Mr. Harrison is a zombi.

Of course he is! Look at him!

Every day he becomes more belligerent.

Last week he snapped at me!

With his teeth?

No, for not having correct change.



Look, my constituents
rely on this route.

Mr. Harrison has
an exemplary service recommendation..

What you're asking is
tantamount to discrimination.

This is not how this city operates.

Fillmore-Graves has mandated no one
gets fired for being a zombie.

This will end badly. Come on.

Mr. Harrison. Can I,
can I have a minute?

I'm sorry, just give us a sec.

Uh, forgive me, Mr. Harrison, but...

You're looking a little malnourished.

Are you getting enough to eat?

We get what they give us.

Brain tubes don't go
as far as they used to.

- "We"?
- Me, my wife, our kids.

Give me your address.

I'll uh, I'll make sure extra rations
are delivered to you and your family.

- [radio channels changing]
- [Don E.] No whammy.

No whammy.

- No whammy.
- [radio channels change]

No whammy.

[music playing on radio]

Oh, cows on my side!

When are we stopping, Majey-Maje?
I'm having a snack attack.

We're not stopping.

We've been on the road for hours.

You know you're not in charge here.
This is a joint operation.

Lighten up, Major!

Look at us! We're out of the city.

Open road, wind in our... Hair.

If you can't enjoy the little things,
I don't know what to tell ya.

Punch-buggy green, no punchbacks.

[groans]

I said no punchbacks.

[girl, muffled] Let me out, let me out!

[banging] Hey, help. Anybody!

Help me! [Muffled scream]

- [radio volume increases]
- [muffled screams continue]

The bodies were stuffed
into the trunk of an old LTD

at the wrecker's.

A junkyard dog found them
before the cars were demolished.

[inhales sharply]

So the bodies were moved
from the original crime scene.

Unless they stuffed themselves

into the car trunk
at the junkyard and...

Waited to get shot.

Well, that seems
like a long shot, Clive.

Hmm.

[scoffs]

Three zombies, one human.

All four of them shot in the head.

Ah, a hate crime.

Most likely the work of the Dead Enders.

The human was, how you say...

Dommage collateral.

That's not how I say it.

This reads like a
professional hit, Inspector.

The Dead Enders are Molotov
cocktail-tossing street punks.

[clicking tongue] Bien non, Babineaux.

They are adapting, learning,

thinking outside the proverbial box.

If only the Seattle Police Department

were capable of the same.

My men will come shortly to
retrieve the three zombie bodies.

- Adieu.
- Oh, uh, don't you wanna wait

until we've completed the, ah...

[in French accent] How you say,
examination postmortem?

You believe Enzo Lambert
requires your assistance?

[speaks French]

Crimes against zombies are under
Fillmore-Graves' jurisdiction,

as you well know.

We will conduct our own autopsy.

[in Cockney accent] Keep em taters
for me till then, eh, old chap?

Au revoir.

I hate that guy.

What's on the menu?

Gordie Schultz.

We were able to pin Gordie down

thanks to his unique dental records.

He's missing his front teeth.

How does that happen to a guy his age?

Let me show you.

[indistinct shouting in video]

This is him?

It's a highlight reel of sorts.

You're going to be a hockey player, Liv.

He's not a hockey player, he's a felon.

He's a goon.

You're going to be a goon, Liv.

I didn't know Seattle had a team.

Oh. Minor league team, the Sockeyes.
And we don't, anymore.

They were booted from their league
one Seattle became zombie-town.

Lucky for us, they still practice and
play exhibition games all the time.

They're on the ice tomorrow.

We'll head down there
and see if Gordie's old team

can shed some light on what
might've gotten him killed.

Oh. We're not going
to talk to his family first?

Oh, did I forget to mention?
Gordie's not from here.

Where's he from?

North Battleford, Saskatchewan, Canada!

Coo roo coo coo, coo coo coo coo!

What are you doing, Clive?
Stop. Stop that.

Take off, you hoser.

Fry up that brain like back bacon,

and wash it down with a
couple of wobbly pops,

and let's get to the rink, eh?

Oh!

Uh-oh, Liv... I think Clive
is cruisin for a bruisin.

Make it quick.

Aye, aye, Corporal. You need anything?

Protein shake? Eyebrow comb?

[chuckles]

Be a dove and toss in a bottle

of that Hella Hot Hooch
whiskey, too, would you?

I've earned it.

- Just need to see our ID, hon.
- [laughs]

- No ID, no sale.
- [snaps fingers]

Yo! Don't test me, you daffy old bat!

[door bell dings]

- All set?
- You bet.

_

[Clive] We're just trying to
learn more about Gordie's life.

Anything you can think of
that'll help us understand

who he was off the ice?

Nothing?

Sorry, Detective. Schultzie
pretty much kept to himself.

I mean, he wasn't the
sharpest skate in the shed.

[in Canadian accent] Oh, sorry.

But he was as nice as they come.

Levon's right, Schultzie was a beaut.
Hell of a teammate.

Let's light some lamps
out there, eh, boys?

Play as a team!

Did he ever have any issues with
painkillers or harder drugs?

That's our friend you're chirpin'.

Hey! He's trying to solve your
teammate's murder, you plug.

Why don't you quit stonewalling?

All right, take it easy.

It's time, boys! Don't forget
to watch your language,

there's kids out there!

Blow it out your ass, dillhole.

They know something.

Agreed. Not much
we can do about it thou.

We can't make them talk.

[sighs]

They're so cute. Which one's yours?

Mmm...

The little blonde one.

[grunts]

- [grunts]
- [groans]

- What kinda trouble was Gordie into?
- I don't know.

[Levon] That didn't feel
like fan appreciation!

Ooh, sorry. Sorry. Excuse me.

Oh, hell...

Yes! [Sighs] Thanks for texting me.

- Would you have forgiven me if I did'?
- Never.

[both gasp]

You're cruisin.

Oh, you wanna have a tilly?

Do it. Do it.

You want this?

Let's do it, chump change.

It's all...

You think you can handle it?

Show me what you got, peewe.

You're gutless, fours.

You won't go me, you won't
tell me about Gordie...

Why don't you give
your gitch a tug, meatbag.

Keep your stick on the ice, kid.

Ooh, ooh.

Ooh!

[grunting]

Got enough, huh?

- [Liv screams]
- [all groaning]

Yeah, I fought Gordie. More than once.

But I was already convicted
and served my sentence.

Five minutes and a game misconduct.

But you were teammates.

I'm, I'm sorry, I'm having a
hard tie taking you seriously.

I'd try harder if I were you, Mr. Patch.

Yeah, we were teammates.

But not when Gordie played for Portland.

After he was traded to
Seattle, we were good.

And I was probably his
closest friend on the team.

That fight was three years ago.
How'd you even hear about that?

Uh, it's a known fact.

Witness accounts. Multiple sources.

I've met better liars in my time.

Oh!

I think he knows I ate Gordie's brain.

I've had whole brain.
I know how it works.

Plus, you play just like Schultzie.
It wasn't hard to piece it together.

There were three zombies
killed with Gordie.

All of them shot in the head.

The Fillmore-Graves investigator
thinks it was a hate crime.

Any of that means anything to you?

It's as good a theory as any

You say Gordie was your friend, but you
act like you don't care who killed him.

Oh, I care. But this is
New Seattle we live in.

- Meaning?
- It's Chinatown.

Huh.

That about it?

[door opens and closes]

[sighs] Chinatown.

What does that mean?

It's like the movie.

The line speaks to the
futility of obtaining justice

in an inherently corrupt system.

Oh! Huh.

I still don't get it.

Goon brain.

General Mills has been
on every network this week

promoting his "Seattle Solution."

Polling is starting to
swing in his favor.

We need to take this
threat very seriously.

He wants to nuke Seattle, Chase.

I've got the General Mills
situation under control.

Anything else?

Rumor has it that you've captured
the smuggler known as "Renegade."

Is that true? If so, why
haven't you told us about it?

Zombie jail?

What? No guillotine for me?

You're a good man.

Maybe once I'm unfrozen, Seattle will be

a zombie-human utopia,

and there'll be statues of Chase
Graves in every city park.

For he was the George
Washington of the undead.

Or maybe you'll wake up
because the power grid is down

and there's no one left alive
to turn it back on.

Yes, I have Renegade.

Why haven't you executed him?

Because Renegade is a little old lady.

And where I come from,

smashing open the skull of a little
old lady is considered bad manners.

Not to mention bad optics.

Renegade? Hmm. A little old lady...

- [laughs]
- Not that old.

But that's how the public will see it.

You decreed the creation of new
zombies a capital offense.

If we do not execute
Renegade, that decree...

Is meaningless.

- [Enzo] An example has to be made, no?
- [Hobbs] It does.

[Mama Leone] I don't envy
your position, Commander.

That said, you're going
about this all wrong.

Please, enlighten me.

You are having a public
relations problem.

Oh? I thought I was having
feeding-thousands-of-zombis problems.

[chuckles]

When you're asking your fellow Americans

to donate their brains for our cause...

Optics matter.

Saving human lives.

Now, that's good optics.

So, that's why you broke the law?

You're just a zombie patriot
looking to provide better optics?

No, Chase.

I broke the law because it
feels good to save lives,

it feels good to reunite families.

It feels humane. [Groans softly]

[breathing heavily]

You should try it sometime.

Renegade is in prison.

[Hobbs] We only have
one option here, sir.

- Once word gets out...
- That's where she'll stay.

[Don E.] It's okay, I've got!

Save your strength
for the crossfit games.

Shut up. I'm trying to find out if
anyone's reported her missing.

[muffled groaning]

[breathing heavily]

Ow! What's wrong with you?

Do you know who I am? Huh?
Do you know who my father is?

I know exactly who you are, Sloane.

Put the gun away, Don E.

My wrists hurt.

Can you untie me?

Please.

[groans]

[Don E.] Damn it!

[Reporter on TV] Earlier toy
at an Arcade gas station,

a 170 miles south of New Seattle...

[female reporter] You're
claiming this is a zombie attack?

His eyes went red,

just like in those YouTube videos.

Oh, he was a squirrelly little runt.

[male reporter]
And now exclusive footage...

- While visibly shaken...
- [Sloane] Oh, my God!

You're zombies?

[Reporter] If you've seen
the small bald zombie.

- [turns TV off]
- Don E., what the hell did you do?

_

Really? All you had to do was get
your food and not go into rage mode.

Forgive me! It's called having emotions.
You should try it sometime.

You realize half the cops in the state
are probably looking for us right now.

We still have an hour before your
smuggling contacts get here.

You saw that old bat.
She's the kind of redneck

who claims aliens probed he.

There's video, Don E.! [sighs]

[water running]

So, uh... Do you still
have some of that whiskey?

What? No.

Even if I did, it'd be
my whiskey, wouldn't it?

[sighs] Please...

I'd been partying hard
all night when you grabbed me.

[breathes heavily] I've have
like, no serotonin in me.

What can I tell you? Make
better life choices next time.

[laughs sarcastically]
Next time I get kidnapped?

Come on, you must have something
that'll take the edge off.

No. Go to sleep or something.
Dream you're someplace else.

Now, there's an idea.

Wake me when your people show up.
Keep an eye on her.

What are you guys
planning to do with me?

Our dental plan is brutal. You
know how much a new Chiclet costs?

Keep your head down, Chaksi.

I think it's a great look, personally.
But if you insist on getting it fixed,

there are several mouthfuls of
free Chiclets in these drawers.

Head down, you say?

[grunts]

[groaning]

[gasps]

You okay, Liv?

It was Blaine.

Blaine killed Gordie.

- You saw it?
- For the most part.

He killed at least one of
Enzo's zombie victims, too...

Ravi, this could be it!

If we can find enough evidence
to back up my vision,

we could finally put Blaine away.

Put him in zombie jail!
Freeze that clown!

Dare to dream.

Thank you. We'll be waiting. Goodby.

They're bringing Blaine in right now.

We're on the same page, right?

He did it. I saw him.

All right, we still need to prove.

We don't know where it happened
and we don't know why.

Blaine's not just gonna
give that information up.

This interrogation is gonna be a slog.

Hey. I need you in the game.

Copy. Gloves stay on. Good talk, Babs.

- [exclaims]
- Go get em.

[Harris] Detective?

Blaine DeBeers, table for three.

So... What's new with you two?

Oh, nothin' much.

I guess the big news with me is uh,
I saw you murder a couple guys.

What? I did.

Where were you Tuesday night
between 11:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.?

I'm sorry, are we not gonna
address the missing tooth?

It's none of your business.

And my whereabouts Tuesday
night are none of yours.

Unless you're charging me
with something.

Yeah. Didn't think so.

Which means you didn't
really see me kill anyone.

Oh, I saw you all right.

I watched you put a bullet
in a zombie's head,

right behind a building.

Another man ran over to help.
And you shot him, too.

That sounds an awful lot
like a vision to me.

The last I checked, hearsay evidence

isn't admissible
in a court of law, so...

I swear, you guys used to
be better at this stuff.

You wanna see what
I'm better at now, pigeon?

Keep beakin'. I'll tune you right up.

What... What happened to us?

We used to be the OGZ's. Now every
time we get together it's all...

"Where were you the night
so-and-so was killed?"

Hmm.

Tuesday between 11:00 and
1:00, I was at my restaurant.

A Mister Donald Eberhard can verify.

- What else you got?
- [Clive clicks pen]

[sighs]

[Don E. Snoring]

[groans]

- Wake up.
- What?

What do you want?

Your smugglers were supposed
to be here two hours ago.

Where are they?

Relax. They'll be here.

Sloane! Where's Sloane?

She was just here!

- Major!
- Yeah?

I've got some good news
and I've got some bad news.

Oh! Oh, she's not breathing.

Oh. Looks like she took
two rides on the U-Boat.

Come on. Come on.

She's dying, man! What are we gonna do?

[knocking on door]

[banging on door]

A dead girl is no bueno.

[banging continues]

[banging continues]

[breathing heavily]

[gasps, coughs]

[banging continues]

[Sloane coughs]

_

How many times must I evade and deflect

the same questions?

I got a new one for you.

Next time we scrap, which hand do
you want me to knock you out with?

[sighs] Walk me through
everything you did last Tuesday,

one more time.

Come on! You're better than this.

You got no witnesses, no
murder weapon, no motive.

You'll never put me at that laundromat.

[sighs] What?

What laundromat?

You said you had a vision
outside of a laundromat.

No, she didn't. We had no idea
where she was in the vision.

Until now.

Clive...

I met Seattle's number one
human importer/exporter

at a laundromat. You know, the night...

Na Na Na. I can't hear you.

That can't be a coincidence.
She always had muscle around.

So what are we thinking?

Blaine kills Gordie and the other
zombies to get to this coyote?

She goes by Mama Leone.

And Renegade!

What part of, "Na Na Na, I can't
hear you" don't you understand?

This is dangerous info, Liv.

What does Blaine have
against Mama Leone?

Wasn't she just creating
more customers for him?

I don't know.

- Which laundromat?
- Detergent Care.

I'll send a CSI unit
over there to canvas.

If we can establish the laundromat
as the scene of the crime

and link Blaine to it, we'll have him.

[Enzo] Case closed, mes am.

I have found our murderers,
and secured their confessions.

[chuckles] Whodunnit, you will a?

Two Dead Enders terrorists.
Just as I predicted.

With all due respect, Inspector,

how did you come up with...

Investigative techniques.

You've heard of these, yes?

- [Liv grunts]
- [Enzo groans]

You don't have the killer,
because we have the killer here.

Liv. Liv!

[grunts]

You will pay for this.

[speaks French]

[sighs]

The lieutenant doesn't need
to know about this.

What did you do with Mama Leone?

Who's that?

Oh! Is she the one
that left a note on the door?

'Cause she thought Anthony
should move out to the country?

[laughs] Uh-oh...

I smell a lawsuit.

Detective Babineaux,
make sure the camera's on.

Liv, Liv. Calm down. Breathe.

Just breathe.

Whoa, whoa, big fella.
Breathe. It's okay. All right?

Mama Leone said it's okay.
I have permission.

[gasps]

- I have to go.
- You gotta go?

The pieces are falling into place.

You really should get that tooth fixed.

- [door bangs]
- [gasps]

[sighs heavily]

I gotta go, too.

No, you don't.

Okay. [Clears throat] Worth a shot.

Could've used you out there today.

Covey was really laying down the lumber.

I know who killed Gordie.

It was Blaine DeBeers. You know him?

The zombie who owns The Scratching
Post and Romero's, right?

People say he's shady.

You and Gordie both worked
for Mama Leone, didn't you?

Why do you need to ask? Haven't
you already seen it in a vision?

Do you know if Mama Leone's still alive?

I don't.

Do you care?

Very much.

Blaine DeBeers killed
Gordie to get to Mama.

Why does the owner of a couple
zombie hot spots go after Mama Leone?

Think about it, Liv.

Who most wants to put an end
to the creating of new zombies?

And who does Blaine DeBeers need to keep
happy if he wants to stay in business?

Got it.

It is Chinatown.

Peytsie? What are you doing here?

Doesn't matter,
you'll want to hear this, to.

I think I know why Blaine took out
Mama Leone's security detail.

Wait. Who is Mama Leone?

- This very sweet lady...
- A human smuggler.

Blaine is doing Chase
Graves' dirty work.

If forensics can find...

Why is Blaine out of interrogation?

Hey! Who said you could go?

[Peyton] I did.

Fillmore-Graves called
the Mayor's office,

said their investigator solved the case.

You've got to be...

And in no uncertain terms,
to release Blaine immediate.

Thanks for having me over, guys.
Let's do it again soon, huh?

Yeah? How about right now, ten-ply?

Easy, tough guy.

[chuckles] There's never
a dull moment with you two.

- Harris. Get him out of here.
- All right.

[both grunting]

Why didn't you let me drop that
bender like a bag of feed?

Because I don't know what that means.

And because you can't keep beating
people up in the precinct.

You wanna get suspended?

If you're gonna bench me
anyway, what's the difference?

Either way, I'm not in the game.

[sighs] Game's over, Liv.

We lost.

Go home.

[sighs]

Oh, thanks.

If Fillmore-Graves is going
to let murderers go free,

the least they can do
is handle the paperwork.

Excuse me. What... What happen?

- Miss?
- Harris.

What's going on?

There was a bus crash in Delridge.

Plowed right into a telephone pole.

Lots of fatalities.

I guess the bus driver was a zombie,

because he started chowing
down on the available brain.

This one had a gun in her purse,

shot back at him in self-defense.

Where is he now?

The driver?

She got him. He's dead.

_

[Peyton] They begged me to fire him.

They warned me something
like this would happen.

This wasn't your fault, Peyton.

[door opens]

You. What's the assessment?

Me? Dr. Chakrabarti.

Excuse me, yes, Dr. Chakrabarti, Ms.
Charles.

What can you tell us
about what happened here?

Five dead, including the driver.

A cursory examination suggests he
hadn't consumed brains in some time.

Passenger say he passed
out at the wheel,

which caused the crash.

When he came to, the blood and
head wounds of the dead passengers

evidently pushed him over the edge.

He devoured one passenger's brain,

and then chased a young woman, a nurse,

out the rear exit
and into a busy intersection.

She had a gun on her,

and was eventually able to put
the driver down with a headshot.

That's great. A mindless,
bloodthirsty zombie

attacks Florence Nightingale
in broad daylight.

What's that gonna do for our optics?

Check the distribution record.

I want to know why this man
wasn't getting his brain tub.

- What was his name?
- Otto Harrison.

I met him a couple days ago. I...

Promised I'd have extra
brain tubes sent to him.

- Then hunger shouldn't have been...
- He wasn't eating them.

His wife and kids are zombie, too,
and the brains are so diluted now,

they were still going hungry.

Otto gave his tubes to his kids.

I'll make sure the situation
is rectified asap,

and that Mr. Harrison's family
is provided for.

Sorry if I was rude.
It's been a long day.

I'm sure you can relate.

I don't.

There's press outside.

Why wouldn't there be?

I told Enzo to find the
people responsible

for cutting our brain tubes weeks ago.

Yes, sir. Yes. That's supply.

But what about demand?

Every new zombie strains our resources.

You need to make an example of Renegade

before the decision-makers in Washington
decide General Mills is right,

and nuke us out of existence.

[Blaine] We're living
in a zombie city now,

all bets are off.

Up is down, black is white.

Don't tell that to the Seattle PD.
No, it's...

It's business as usual over there.

Blaine DeBeers is evil,

so let's put the screws
to him all night.

Well, you did kinda kill all those guys.

Where's Don E.?

[groans] Damn, that's cold.

- Hey! [Laughs]
- Hey!

- There's Don E.
- [laughs]

- [Major gasps]
- GI Joe.

Oh. Destro.

Everything go according to plan?

Not everything.

I guess not.

Hey! That's my brain, Missy.

[speaks French]

I'm gonna let you handle this.

These brain tubes
will cover your first we,

after that, you pick up your rations
from one of our distribution centers.

You can't do this to me.

That pamphlet there tells you where
you can get your zombie ID card.

You'll need that.

Do you know who I am?

We've provided you with a place to live,

but your activities and
communications will be monitored.

[blows]

That's all. Dismissed.

My father works for the
Defense Department!

General Mills, maybe
you've heard of him?

He'll turn this city into a parking lot
when he finds out what you've done.

He loves you, I assume.

Yes. Of course, he loves me.

Then I think his long-standing desire

to turn Seattle into a parking
lot will be mitigated.

Thought I was the only
one here this late

Ran out of booze in my office.

Good work on your assignment.

You may have saved us all.

Yeah, well, it didn't go
exactly according to plan.

Well, it so rarely does.

We've all had to do things that we never
would've imagined ourselves doing.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

Zombie-human utopia?

You've been found guilty of
the crimes of human smuggling

and the unauthorized
creation of new zombies.

The sentence for these crimes is death.

To be carried out by public
execution at 12:00 this afternoon.

I'm not ready to die.

It'll be painless.

_

What kind of justice can there be if
we're living in a dictatorship?

What we do, solve crimes, why bother?

Blaine will answer for his crimes
someday, one way or another.

I have to believe that.

I wish I shared your optimism.

Liv.

What is it?

Fillmore-Graves is gonna use
that stupid guillotine.

They're gonna execute
that human smuggler.

They didn't even announce it.

They're ashamed of it.
Which they should be.

[Chase] Fillmore-Graves
takes no joy in this act.

But this is a new world.

The laws we've enacted are essential
to ensuring our place within it.

[crowd] Save her! Save her!

Save her!

You're a monster, Graves! Let her go!

[crowd protesting]

Penalties for breaking these
laws are necessarily severe.

Crush her skull! Kill her.

Kill her.

[clamoring]

You have no right to do this!

[crowd] Kill her! Kill her!

Any action that endangers our
survival cannot be tolerated.
