- A dozen outposts, just trying. - To make it on their own.

How long has she been dead?

- Dead? We just thought. - She was sick.

They're Talkers.

Talkers?

Since the Black Rain,

people don't just die

and turn like before.

- Z bizkits keep the Talkers. - Happy.

Dead don't just walk.

Now they talk.

What?

I can hear you thinking.

Do you ever worry

this is a dream?

That one of us

isn't really here?

No, I know my ass is here.

- So that would make you. - Some kind of...

I'm serious.

This...

You know, what we're

doing right now.

Just being here with you.

Being touched by you.

I'm afraid to believe it.

Because the second I do,

it'll all go away like a dream.

This is not a dream.

This is real.

You were sent for me.

You were sent to me.

I don't know if it's God

or fate or karma,

or just Sarah smiling down

from above.

You are here for a reason.

And I'm not gonna let anything

take you away.

You're the best

imaginary friend ever.

We're in need of some fire wood.

And you chopped?

I did.

Yeah.

So I should go fetch it?

You are nailing it right now.

Be careful out there.

This is more like it.

Hey, Doc!

You gotta go to quarantine

first!

George!

Thanks guys.

Dante, how's that.

Kevlar tape working out?

Great.

No guts have come out yet.

- Got some new citizens. - For you.

What's up? We come in peace.

Welcome to Altura,

- the longest running zombie free. - Outpost in all North America.

Give yourselves a hand.

You made it.

Hey, where ya going?

- Don't worry. - They'll take good care of you.

See you on the inside.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Any zombie bites? Mortal wounds?

Organ failure?

Not that I noticed.

96.4 and you've got a pulse.

You are certifiably alive.

Good to know.

Okay, Doc.

- Here's your application. - For citizenship.

And your voter registration.

Through the blue gate.

I'm having a hard time

finding a pulse.

Any near death experiences?

- Going into the white light? - Loss of appetite?

Sometimes everything's

in slow motion?

What is that?

Looks like a healed over bite.

That...

That was me.

Any heart problems

you're aware of?!

Not till you did that.

There we go. We got a pulse.

No bizkits for you.

We got a hungry one here.

I like the shape of your head!

Get her to quarantine

and get her a bizkit

before she turns on us.

Don't worry.

- Once she has her bizkits, she'll. - Be back to you in no time.

What's next?

- We got to wait here in line. - For housing and a work permit.

- These people have their shit. - Together.

No way.

It's her.

Red! Red! It's Doc!

Red!

She can't hear me. Well I know

somebody that's gonna be happy.

Are you sure that's her?

It's her all right.

I can't wait to tell the kid.

A baby? A husband?

Well there's a turn of events.

What are we gonna tell 10K?

- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! - Don't shoot! Don't shoot!

I am unarmed.

Keep 'em up.

Higher.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Sure.

I'm... I'm... I'm not armed,

so...

Except for that, I am unarmed.

What's your story?

It's complicated.

It's not contagious.

Look,

I'm not looking for trouble.

I'm just looking for a friend.

I'm the only one here.

Well, maybe you've seen her

or heard about her?

I've come a long way.

Her?

Yeah, a woman.

You'd remember

her if you saw her.

She was in a plane crash.

She might have been hurt.

Her name's Warren.

Roberta Warren.

She's about our age.

Umm, she's bla...

She's a super great gal

and a personal friend of mine.

- And I'd be forever grateful. - If... You know, you know what?

If you haven't see her,

you haven't seen her.

So I'm just gonna

thank you for your time,

- and I'll be headed. - On down the road.

You must be Murphy.

Yeah.

So you've... you've seen her?

I thought you were

supposed to be blue?

It's complicated.

So you've seen her? Is she okay?

She talked about you.

Well I deny all of

it. Well, half of it anyway.

Wow. Well, thank you.

You don't know how long

I've been looking for her.

- She's got a whole bunch. - Of friends waiting for her.

Back in Newmerica.

Pick up your bag.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'll take you to her.

Okay. Right.

Could I maybe have my gun?

I got a car.

Go.

Right. Okay, yeah. Car.

It's gonna be nice to get

off these dogs for a while.

[electric guitar theme music

Hey.

Everything all right?

I was worried about you.

The fire's almost out.

Yeah, I was on my way

back inside.

What are you doing in here?

I don't know.

Don't do this to yourself.

Come on.

Don't torture yourself.

There's nothing you could've

done to stop what happened.

Let it go, baby.

Let the guilt go.

I don't even deserve you.

What... what was that?

Get me out of here!

Get me out of here,

Roberta!

Yeah, I know.

All right, I'll explain.

Why my friend is tied up

and gagged in your trunk?

He was gonna take you away,

Roberta.

Destroy everything we built.

What were you gonna do?

Kill him?

You do understand,

I'm trying to do this for us.

For us?

Okay, wanna do it the right way?

Open the trunk. Let the man out.

I'll apologize. My bad.

But promise me, promise me,

you're not gonna let him

take you away.

Or what?

Roberta?

Or what?

Don't touch me.

You need to listen to me.

Don't.

Honey?

- You wanna let that red devil. - In that trunk.

Destroy the dream

we're talking about?

I need you just to...

Just back off of me.

I need to think.

Roberta!

- Hang on. I'm gonna. - Get you out of there!

I trusted you!

And you know I would never

hurt you, ever.

Too late.

Listen.

Let me go!

No! No. You're gonna have to

stop struggling.

Now I got something

you got to hear.

You got to hear me out. But you

can't fight me on this. Okay?

No one else knows what I know

about you.

And no one can help you

like I can.

I need to tell you something.

But you can't fight me anymore,

okay? The truth.

No struggling.

Please?

That's better.

You made me have hope.

Finally.

Hey. Next time, get me out

of the trunk before the fight.

It's good to see you too.

Who is he?

Just some guy.

Well what are we gonna do

with him?

Can I kill him?

We're gonna leave it

up to Darwin.

Goodbye, Cooper.

Long walk to Newmerica.

We got a ride.

Thank God.

Beats walking,

but the Apocalypse will be over

by the time we get there.

Time for a new start.

You made it.

Apparently we're still alive.

- Glad to hear it. Did you get. - Your work assignments?

Sure did. You're looking at

a future intake examiner.

- I guess they liked. - My bedside manner.

We've been assigned gate duty

with the volunteer militia.

It's only temporary.

Once the referendum passes,

you'll be able to work

anywhere in Newmerica.

Me personally, I like Pacifica,

my home.

- But there's something. - For everybody.

Get in there, you!

Hey! Hey!

Take it easy there, soldier.

That's somebody's mother.

She's a goner.

She hasn't turned yet.

She's just hungry.

She's had her ration. Besides,

we're waiting on more bizkits.

Hang on. Dante?

Hey, what's in those things

anyway?

Nobody knows for sure.

Nobody wants to know. My guess,

trace amounts of brains.

I'm good.

It's an acquired taste.

Let her go.

Hey, shhhh. You're gonna get it.

But I need you to calm down.

You can do it.

Shhhh.

Shhhh. Yeah, that's it.

There you are.

Please?

Those bizkits sure do the trick.

Yeah.

We'd be screwed without them.

- She must really be something, - that George.

I've laid down my life for her.

Many times.

Go on now. You're gonna be okay.

I promise.

So, what do you think of this.

Newmerica idea?

Are you gonna vote yes?

I hope she's right.

I don't trust my fellow men.

But I trust her.

She says we should be

one nation.

I vote Newmerica.

Yeah, well what's the

alternative?

Burn it all down.

These are some of the last

survivors out there.

Yeah, looks like it.

Warren! Murphy!

My God, Roberta!

You are indestructible!

Look at your hair.

Side effects, baby.

I told you I'd find her.

I shall never doubt you again.

That red shit

ever gonna wear off?

Stop it.

- Please refrain from touching. - Inductees until after quarantine.

Yeah. Sorry.

This is very impressive.

Thank you.

Yeah, they got room service?

Welcome to Altura,

the longest running zombie free

outpost in all of North America.

You made it.

Give yourselves a hand.

- Okay, everybody. Listen up. - This is how it's gonna go.

Humans line up to my right.

Mortally challenged to my life.

Follow me.

- Where do you think you're going, - Lucifer?

Lucifer?

- No, no, he ain't no demon. - He's our friend.

- Friend or not, he's going. - Straight to Biohazard Research.

Excuse me? Who you calling

a bio hazard? Whoa, whoa, whoa!

- I don't like. - How this is trending.

- The cold and rugged terrain. - Have been a natural barrier.

But since the Black Rain,

- there's been a steady increase. - In zombie contacts.

The Talkers are seeing it

on patrol everyday.

Used to be one, two Z's a week.

Now it's two or three a day.

The Black Rain could be

affecting their behavior,

giving them a level of

consciousness like the Talkers.

If you're right,

- some of the more remote outposts. - Could be in real danger.

They're on their own

if this vote doesn't pass.

We could all be in danger.

He wouldn't wait.

It's all right.

Trouble at the gate.

Zombies?

Survivors.

The ones we brought in.

I'll take care of it.

Get me the head of the Militia.

Already on his way.

Is there anything else I can

do for you in the meantime?

You can't do this!

This is discrimination

pure and simple!

My friend here is a little

phobic. Of everything.

Yeah.

But especially scientists.

That's right.

It's not up to me.

- Either he goes to the lab. - For examination.

Or back to the Apocalypse.

Hey, Doc. Doctor.

What's up? Whoa.

Hey, good. George, you're here.

So look, this is Murphy.

Okay? And despite what he

looks like, he's really human.

- And this is Lieutenant. - Roberta Warren.

She's the head of our band

of merry pranksters,

aka Operation Bite Mark.

She can vouch for Murphy too.

- You know, they shared blood. - And everything.

- Those two go way back. - Just like all of us.

Something wrong?

Grenade!

Let's go.

Come on. Keep moving!

Down!

Stay close!

- Why aren't you at the evacuation. - Site?

My friend was dying.

I couldn't leave her.

Did you mercy her?

I didn't know how.

She turned and I ran.

Okay. I'm Lieutenant Roberta

Warren. What's your name?

Sweetheart, what's your name?

Georgia St. Claire.

Okay, Georgia. We got two

minutes to get to that evac.

You with me?

Come on!

In the head!

Now that's how

you do it!

Have mercy.

Georgia?

Hey, hey, hey.

You okay? Look at me.

Look at me.

You're okay. All right.

Let's go.

Those your people?

That's them.

There's so many.

- I know. But there's no time. - To go around.

We're going to have to just run

right through them. Okay?

Yes, we are. You're gonna

take this, flip it up,

use it like an axe.

Come on, I got you.

- Puppies and. - Kittens. Puppies and kittens.

Puppies and kittens.

What, you praying?

- No, puppies and kittens is what. - I call zombies so I'm not scared.

Puppies and kittens.

All right, stay close.

Take that down. All right?

We're running on three.

One, two, three. Stay low.

Come on! Come on!

Puppies and... Shit!

Get down!

Come on.

I'm out! I'm out!

This way. Hurry. Hurry in.

This way.

You're good.

All right. Watch out for those

puppies and kittens. Let's go!

I told you you'd be okay.

Now wait.

You two know each other?

- She saved my life. - She saved my life.

Well great. So that means

I can skip the testing?

No.

This is quite an operation.

We've been working

on a constitution for weeks.

It's not even done yet.

It probably never will be done.

We're voting on it anyways.

Can't wait.

Hey, who's that?

That is Roman Estes.

The CEO of Altura.

He was one of the first people

to settle here in the valley.

He's the reason

we have water and power.

Not a mad genius.

He's a genius, but he's totally

cool. I will introduce you.

Of course.

Excuse me, Roman?

You got a minute?

- There's someone. - I want you to meet.

Of course.

This is Roberta Warren,

an old friend.

She saved my life

back in Black Summer.

It's a pleasure.

- We owe you a debt of gratitude. - For saving George here.

She's one of our

greatest resources.

Well, did she tell you

she saved my life too?

Not surprised.

It's kind of a habit

with George.

Welcome to Altura.

Or if George has anything to say

about it, soon to be Newmerica.

So you were in Zona?

In the beginning, yeah.

And you left?

I didn't support their goals.

Luckily, I got out early.

When were you there?

I got out early as well.

When they said they were sending

me some type of red freak,

I should've known it was you.

Listen, Sun Beam.

Sun Mei.

Whatever.

- Don't you think that. - My precious bodily fluids.

- Have caused enough trouble. - For one Apocalypse?

Your blood's such a toxic stew

- that I doubt there's much. - Scientific value for my work.

Christ,

not another vaccine.

Actually, no.

I'm trying to identify and

synthesize the protein in brains

that make Talkers human.

Is that right? Well yeah,

you're god's work there, sister.

- Hey, listen. - What happened to you anyway?

I mean, we all thought you died.

- I got rescued. - By a group of Marines,

Including Lieutenant Dante,

before he died and turned

into one of the first Talkers.

Marjorie here

is married to Dante.

They make such a cute couple.

Quiet, blabber mouth.

Is that right? So it's true,

love never dies.

It just rots away.

Citizen Z here,

coming to you live

from The Pale Horseman Tavern.

The place where future.

Newmericans come to, well,

they come here to get drunk

and forget about zombies.

But today we're here to argue

over a new constitution.

Humans, Talkers,

all soon to be citizens

ready to embark on this crazy

experiment in democracy.

Holy zombie. Doc?

What's up, man?!

Hey!

I thought I heard your voice.

It's so good to see you. And you

I don't know, but come here.

Welcome!

- So, how's... - how's Kaya and the baby?

- Man, they're. - Great. They're back at Pacifica.

- Warren's here somewhere. - She's with that gal George.

Yeah? I love George.

- George is a big reason. - Why all this is happening.

Yeah, she seemed cool.

- How bout this? - You guys go take a seat,

- And I'll finish up here. - And join you.

- Right on. Good to see you, - buddy.

It's so good to see you.

Welcome.

Come here.

That was so so cool. Operation.

Bite Mark in the house!

Look at you.

All grown up.

Yeah, you sure have changed.

- Well the zombies will do that. - To you.

Indeed.

You look exactly

like I remember you.

- Well, I appreciate. - Your glaucoma.

One zombie shine.

Thank you.

And one water.

Thank you.

Black Summer.

Black Summer.

And now we're here.

Now we're here.

It looks like you've made a name

for yourself.

Hardly.

- No, I heard that most of the. - Students you started out with.

In Black Summer made it

here because of you.

It was Lieutenant Dante

and the other Talkers.

Really. If it weren't for their

help, we'd be dead or worse.

At least you knew

to ask for help.

You know, you were the one

that knew they still had souls.

Back then when we saved each

other, I knew you were special.

It's been really hard.

I know.

So, what have you been up to

since Black Summer?

Well...

Got it.

Hello, Dante.

Hello, Pandora. Now go away.

Don't be so mean.

Well I came here

to congratulate you.

I hear it's gonna be a landslide

for the yes votes.

Your human is gonna get

everything she wants.

And more.

She's not my human.

Her name is George.

And since when do you give a

bizkit what the humans want.

Dante, you don't have to be

so... living.

Just because you can't get

everything you want.

Pity.

Citizen Z! Wow man! I love you.

Thank you.

Man, when I was out in the shit,

your broadcasts were the only

thing that kept me going.

- Thanks, man. - That makes me feel good.

I am buying you drink.

No, no, no, I already have one.

Get this man a real drink.

No, I don't deserve a drink.

- You know brother, - I have to work tomorrow.

That's not a drink.

Here's a drink.

Thank you.

Is that a thumb?

You're supposed to eat it

when you get to the bottom

like the worm in tequila.

Right.

- Don't worry. - The alcohol kills the germs.

- Okay. - Well that's good to know.

No, it's delicious,

surprisingly.

I can't believe it.

The real Citizen Z.

Hi.

- Looks like Citizen Z is having. - A little Talker Stalker moment.

- Why don't you go rescue him, - kid?

Sure.

Who's gonna tell 10K about Red?

Not me. You gotta tell him.

- Why should I be. - The bearer of bad news?

Because you're cuddly

and everybody likes you.

Break it to him gentle.

Sensitive.

Yeah, I got this. It's cool.

I'll be cool. I got it.

When I was alive, I used to

listen to you on the short wave.

- Thank you. That means a lot. - To me. Thank you.

Hey, there's my buddy.

- Where have you been? I've been. - Looking all over for you.

Well guys, it's been so nice

to meet you. Thank you so...

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

What was that?

What was what?

Do not let me drink this.

I got a wife and kid.

Red's alive! She's here with

another dude and they got a kid!

Another dude?

And they have a kid?

Sorry, Tommy.

Don't drink the thumb.

Just take it easy.

Get your hands off me,

you damn dirty Talker.

Looks like trouble

in paradise.

- People like you give. - Humans a bad name.

I've never trusted your kind,

and I never will.

- Yeah, well you're gonna be one. - Of my kind in a minute.

If you don't shut up!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa. - Leroy, Cliff,

You guys are drunk.

Be cool. All right?

We're all friends here.

Yeah, you better listen to her.

- I think we've listened to her. - Too much.

You're always siding with them

over your own kind.

We have rights too.

We all have rights.

Inalienable rights.

Life, liberty, the pursuit of

getting shitfaced drunk.

You think this is a joke?

These Talkers aren't human.

They're zombies.

And some day they're gonna stop

pretending and start eating us.

Sit down and shut up!

You're drunk.

You can't speak to me that way,

you bag of rotting jerky.

Hey!

You shot me.

I'll do it again if

you don't shut up.

Oooh, this is gonna take

some getting used to.

This was my favorite t-shirt.

Your wife was a Talker,

wasn't she?

I miss here everyday.

And if she were still here,

how do you think she would vote

tomorrow?

I think she would vote yes

because she loves you.

She'd want to be with you.

- Just like all these. - Post-dead folks.

- Want to be with their loved. - Ones. That's all they're asking.

You'll get the bullets back

when you sober up.

A toast!

To democracy!

To democracy!

Ballots are still being

cast in each of the outposts,

- as the constitutional delegates. - Gather here.

Awaiting the outcome

of the vote.

Mr. Estes? George?

Did you vote?

We did. In just a few minutes

the polls will close

and the voters will have spoken.

Amazing. How do you feel?

I feel good. Like we made it

to the end of a long journey.

- A part of me is also sad, - though,

- Thinking of the people that. - Didn't make it here to see this.

Leroy.

I know we don't agree

on much of anything,

but I'm glad you came out

to vote.

Actually, I voted yes.

You were right.

It's how Anna would have voted.

Good luck with your country.

If you can keep it.

Thank you. And we're keeping it,

if it kills me.

How's that speech coming?

Umm, I got it right here.

- Just need to work. - On the opening.

You better hurry up. Polls

are closing any second. And...

In three, two, one. The polls

are officially closed!

What happens if the no votes

win? We all just start shooting?

- And what are they gonna do. - With the Talkers.

- If they're not even citizens? - It seems like it won't be long.

Until there's more of them

than us.

Are you even listening to me?

You should go talk to her.

What?

You should go talk to her.

Nervous?

About the vote? No.

The speech? Little bit.

Just speak your truth.

Newmerica's real.

That's my truth.

Then what?

We'll roll up our sleeves

and get shit done.

It's 1776 all over again.

Your friend Sarge

told me you were here.

I'm so happy you're alive.

Me too.

Not me, you.

I'm happy you're alive too.

Let's try this again.

You're alive.

Tommy. You're alive.

You're alive.

I was so afraid that

I would never see you again.

What about the other dude?

Other dude?

The father of your child?

My... child?

Tommy,

there's no other dude.

There's not?

You must mean Ted.

He's married to a friend

of mine. It's her kid.

Can we try this again?

It's been a long journey

getting here.

- And we'll get to the results. - In just a moment.

- I want to thank one person. - In particular.

Who has worked tirelessly

to get us to this point.

And if anyone

has earned the right

to announce the final results

of the vote, it's her.

So George?

Let's get her up here. George!

George! George! George!

George! George!

George! George!

Where is she?

George!

George! George! George! George!

Hey. They're calling your name.

I need a joke. You got to start

a speech with a joke, right?

George! George! George!

George! George!

Hey. Don't forget the results.

Right.

George! George! George! George!

George! George! George! George!

George! George! George! George!

George! George!

George!

Wish me luck.
