01x10 - Choke on 'Em!

Post by bunniefuu »

Previously on Day of the Dead.

I'm Dr. Logan.

There's not just a cop down there.
There's something else.

[GRUNTS]

- [CRIES OUT]
- What the hell's going on?!

[BANGING]

This thing's a cure for death.

What's the one thing that
we all have in common?

We all die. Until this morning.

This is a miracle.

Death is no longer the end.

Dead is dead.

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

Ahhhh!!!!

Dad?

[GROWLS]

JAI: Where are you taking us?

Somewhere safe.

There are other survivors at Paymart.

You can't do this.

I didn't do anything!

We didn't survive this long

just to have someone start
k*lling us from the inside!

[SCREAMS]

This looks safe to you?

Why do they have us locked in a building

- in the middle of nowhere?
- LUKE: What the hell is that?


JAI: It's exhaust.

Okay, that could k*ll us, right?

- [BANGING] Open the f*cking door!
- Open the door!!! Let us out!

Guys? Can you hear me?

Hold on, I'm gonna get you out!

- [CLANGING]
- [YELLING]

[GASPS]

LAUREN: They brought us here to k*ll us.

Cleargenix is cleaning up their mess.

We told them where everyone else was.

Then we have to get there first.



I told Trent not to stop
for anyone or anything

- until they get to Carbondale.
- Hmm.

How many times did he hit
on you before he left?

Five.

LUKE: Yeah, he's pretty gross.

PAULA: He's persistent,
I'll give him that.


I grabbed everything I could find.

There's blood on this.

Is it your blood?

- No.
- Then don't worry about it.

Everybody lock and load.

I don't wanna show up
to Paymart half empty.

Okay.

Where's Lauren?

God, this is such a shitty
way to leave you.

I know that, but we gotta go.

They tried to k*ll us here

then they might try and
k*ll everyone at Paymart.

But I won't let anything happen to Amy.

Okay? I promise.

Got a cigarette?

[SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]

BLACKWOOD: Come on.

We need to get to Paymart.

[STARTS ENGINE]



[DEVOURING SOUNDS]

[g*nf*re]

- Nice tight grouping, sweetheart.
- Thanks, Mom.

[g*nshots]

sh*t, they b*at us here.

[g*nsh*t]

Doesn't look like they got very far.

[g*nf*re]

[g*nf*re]

I don't see Rhodes anywhere.

If that assh*le's still
alive, nobody's safe.

It won't be easy to get in.

This place is sealed up
tight from the... inside.

That's not good.

What the hell happened here?

PAULA: Cindy.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[CHAINSAW BUZZING]

[GASPS] My God!

Welcome to f*cking Paymart.

[PULSING THEME MUSIC]







[CHAINSAW BUZZING]

[PANTING]

Where's Jai?

[TEARY] No.

No. No, he promised.

He promised me he'd be back.

He said everything would be okay.

[SOBBING]

I know this doesn't
make it hurt any less,

but if it weren't for Jai,
we'd all be dead.

[SOBBING]

I shouldn't have let him go.

Your husband left because he
thought he could help people,

and he did.

And not just us.

Thanks to Jai a whole lot
of people survived today.

He was a hero.

They're all gone.

My mom.

My dad.

Now Jai.

Why are we fighting
so hard to stay alive?

I didn't know your husband,

but I know that life
was so precious to him

that he d*ed to protect it.

If you give up, if any of us give up,

then his sacrifice was for nothing.

You want to honor Jai?

Let's wipe these things
off the face of the earth.

Come on.

Amy, where is everybody else?

I'm the only one left.

When the soldiers showed up,
I thought we were saved.

But only two of them made
it inside and then they...

[SIGHS] they just started sh**ting.

g*dd*mn Rhodes.

But nobody stayed dead.
They all came back.

[DRIPPING]

The water.

I k*lled every one of those things.

I had no choice.

You did what you had to do.

- [g*nsh*t]
- Go! Go, go!

AMY: It's them.

BLACKWOOD: Rhodes!

Where the hell is she going?

Where the hell are you going?

Paula, go with Luke.

McDermott, you're with me.
Let's get this assh*le.

_

[MONITORS BEEPING]

I said I'd be here. I'm here.

It's time.

It's time to let her go.

[CHAINSAW BUZZING]

- Amy...
- [CHAINSAW ROARS]

- Jesus!
- It's me, it's me.

I coulda k*lled you.

Thanks for not doing that.

Come on.

So, you were with my dad when he, um...

Yeah, I was there.

Did he say anything about me?

Just that he wanted to say that
he was sorry for being an assh*le.

It wasn't just his fault.

We're both bad at communicating.

The foundation of any
good relationship is...

Hey, Dr. Oz, no offense,

but can we talk about this later?

We're trying not to get k*lled here.

Right.

Dr. Oz is a physician, not a therapist.

Sorry.

Are you guys okay?

- Yeah. Did you find him?
- No.

No, no, no, no, no, no!
It's us. It's us. Don't sh**t.

- Hey, where's Amy?
- She was just behind... me.

Let her go!

I can't do that.

You know what these are, don't you?

They're perf charges
from the drill site.

He's got enough to take
out half the building.

Drop your g*ns.

Nobody's getting outta here.

Rhodes, you blow those charges,
you're going with them.

No sh*t, Blackwood.

At least I won't come back
as one of those things!

I'll blow up into a million pieces.

- We all will.
- Just sh**t him already!

Go ahead.

Do it, sweetheart!

- We're all screwed, anyway!
- Everybody just calm down.

Rhodes, what do you want?

I never shoulda sent you down that hole.

I shoulda just filled it up
and drilled somewhere else.

You're the reason they
took that thing out.

You're the reason this
is happening to us!

What the hell is he talking about?

We found a body at the
drill site yesterday.

It turned out to be the first
one of those... things.

You knew about this yesterday?

Why didn't you do something?
Why didn't you call the police?

I did and your office told
McDermott to leave it alone.

- I didn't realize.
- None of us did.

You're why my dad went down there?

You're why he's dead. You're why
he turned into one of those things.

Cam, I tried to save him, I swear.

I did everything I could.

[RHODES LAUGHING]

We're all f*cked, here!

The whole town!

Don't you get it?

We can't leave here.

Or else we'll spread it to
the whole g*dd*mn world!

I tried to make it easy for you.

You just would have gone to sleep

and you wouldn't have woken up.

Yeah, well, guess what, assh*le?

You blew it. We got out.

And the rest of the survivors,

they're headed for Carbondale right now.

Are you crazy?!

You f*cked us all!

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

Get the detonator!

[g*nsh*t]

Hey, assh*le.

[THUD]

[g*nsh*t]

[g*nshots]

I'm tired of knocking
that guy the f*ck out.

I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

I hate to say it.

But he's right about one thing.

Someone's gotta stop those things.

[MONITORS BEEPING]

[FLATLINE]

I need a moment with my daughter.

[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

[CRYING] Come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Come on, baby.

Come on.

[SOBBING]

What is all this stuff for?

It's all for Lauren's plan.

Yeah, but what is it?

I don't know. I'm sure it'll work.

Why does everybody
always have to doubt her?

She's awesome.

- Do you have a thing for her?
- No.

Oh, my God, you totally do.

Cam, you have to tell
her how you feel, okay?

You have to tell her right now.

Forget about what everybody else thinks.

Just be true to yourself,
believe in yourself.

Oh, I get it. You're doing me.

That was supposed to be me, right?

Yeah. It's kind of annoying, right?

A little bit.

Nice work, guys.

Yeah, it was hard to find all
this stuff, but here it is.

Yeah, that's why I said nice work.

- Do you want anything?
- No.

I'm good with this.

You guys take the rest.
We'll meet you at the drill site.

- Good luck out there.
- Yeah, be careful.

Everything in me is telling me to
get you boys out of Mawinhaken.

Mom, we're .

If we're old enough to vote
for who runs this town,

we're old enough to save it.

I am so proud of you, boys.

Let's do this.

Wake up the bait!

[BANGING]

What's going on?

We need you to scream in terror.

What the... what the
hell are you doing?!

RHODES: Let me go!

You can't do this to me!

Let me go! Help!

Let me go!

Perfect. Just like that.

RHODES: What the hell are you doing?

- Are you crazy?!
- I got you.

RHODES: Help! Help! Help! Help!!

Help me!

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

RHODES: Let me go!

Help me! Come on!

RHODES: Help me! Come on!

Get away from me!

Get the hell away from me!

RHODES: Get me off of here.

- _
- [RHODES CONTINUES TO YELL]

Oh, God!

RHODES: Get the hell away from me!

You assholes are gonna get me k*lled!

Relax, we need you.

For now.

This is crazy.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

I can't believe this is working.

- RHODES: Can this go any faster!
- Me neither.

Wait, but this was your idea.

Yeah, but I didn't know
it would actually work.

RHODES: Oh!

- Oh, sh*t.
- What's happening?

The engine d*ed.

RHODES: What the hell are you doing?

They're getting closer. Move this sh*t!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Quit screwing around.

Get it moving!

Come on! Come on!

[CLANG]

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

Tell him to put the pedal all
the way down to the floor.

It'll open the butterfly.

I said shut up!

You think I wanna die back here?

[g*nsh*t]

Tell him!

Put the pedal to the floor
and crank it, sweetheart!

Come on!

f*ck it.

We kissed. Okay?

Whatever. Don't make
a big deal out of it.

- I didn't say anything.
- Shut up.

I didn't say anything.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]



[COUGHING]

BLACKWOOD: Government shut
these coal mines down in the ' 's.


They go on for miles.

This is the only way out.

Do you really think this is gonna work?

My ancestors trapped one of those things

in a hole for years.

I don't see why it couldn't work again.

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

Don't touch me!

Don't touch me!!!

How much longer until we get there?

- Help!
- Just a few more miles.

- Good.
- Somebody!

'Cause if I have to listen
to this p*ssy much longer,

- I'll k*ll him myself.
- RHODES: Let me down!

I don't deserve this!

- [SNARLING AND GROWLING]
- RHODES: Please!

- Oh, God!
- LAUREN: Drive a little faster, Luke!


They're getting closer!

Luke, speed up!

- sh*t!
- Dad.

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

Cam?

[BANGS TRUCK CAB]

Wait, stop the truck!

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]


Stop the truck!

- RHODES: What the hell are you doing?!
- What's happening?!

RHODES: Move this piece of sh*t!
I'm gonna die back here!


LAUREN: It's Cam. He's gone.

I don't see him!

Cam!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

RHODES: You're gonna get us all k*lled!

Lauren, get back in the truck!

No, we can't leave him!

Yeah, well, if we stay here any longer,
this whole plan goes to sh*t.

We need to move, now!

- [g*nshots]
- Come on!

- Cam!
- PAULA: Lauren, now!

RHODES: Quite screwing around!

Let's get outta here.

Honey, we gotta go.

- LUKE: Lauren, we gotta to go!
- Cam!

PAULA: Luke, get us out of here.

RHODES: Let's get outta here!

LUKE: Get on the truck!

Let's go. Move your ass!

Let's go, let's go, let's go.





RHODES: What the hell
are we doing out here!


Let me go!

BLACKWOOD: Son of a bitch!

They did it!

[ENGINE SPUTTERS]

- Oh, no!
- sh*t!

g*dd*mn it.

We just need to lead them a
little bit farther to the mine.

- This truck's not going anywhere.
- Leave it.

We'll have to find another way.

Where's Cam?

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

RHODES: What're you doing?

You can't leave me here!

What about him?

Who cares? He tried to k*ll us.

Hey, Luke.

Cover me.

I'll lower him down.

I thought you were gonna
leave me here to die.

- We're not murderers.
- You're worse.

You're cowards.

You just left that kid
to save your own asses.

Shut up, assh*le!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

I was willing to die to stop this!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Then die.

Hey! What are you doing? No!

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

[RHODES SCREAMING]

Ahhhh!!!!!

[RHODES SCREAMING] Ahhhh!!!!!

[GROWLING AND SNARLING]

Choke on 'em! Choke on 'em!!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Now what?

We get them into that mine.

[EATING SOUNDS]

What the hell are you doing?

I'll lead them in.

Once they're inside, use
these to blow up the cave.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. You can't do this.

We're not gonna let her do this, right?

It's not your choice.

Hey, you ugly sons of b*tches!
Come and get me!

[g*nshots]

Blackwood, this is crazy! It's su1c1de!

I can make it out.

There's gotta be another way.

We all know there isn't.

Besides, somebody's gotta stay
alive long enough to set these off.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

I'm serious.

Whether I'm out or not.
You seal the place shut.

Otherwise, this is all for nothing.

I will.

Okay.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]

[EXHALES]

[SPEAKING IN NATIVE LANGUAGE]

I'm in here, assholes!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Come and get it! Fresh meat!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

What do you think you're doing?

Finishing this.

f*ck those things.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Come on. Let's go.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

That's all of them.

All right. Let's go.

AMY: How deep do we have to go?

Until the last one's inside.

Then what?

They should all be in by now.

There must be another way out of here.

There isn't.

That's kinda the point
of leading them in here.

Okay, so what? We're
supposed to just stand here

and wait to get eaten?

[DISTANT GROWLING]

Wait, you wanna fight your way out?

There's like nine b*ll*ts in that thing.

I was thinking we'd only need three.

Jesus, that's dark.

That psycho Rhodes designed
this thing as a su1c1de b*mb.

We're not gonna be able to detonate it

without blowing ourselves up.

What're you doing?

Trust your mother, Luke.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Who wants to go first?

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Don't!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[g*nsh*t]

Quick! Come on! Let's go!

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

What if they make it outta there?

You heard Sarah.

First one of those things I
see coming out of the mine,

I'm taking my sh*t.

Come on, guys. Where are you?

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[SNIFFING]

- Okay, let's get outta here.
- They'll hear us.

We have no choice.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[g*nshots]

Go! Run!

Come on!

Come on, guys.

Jesus, come on. Where are you?

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

Get outta there. Come on.

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

No!

- What the hell are you doing?!
- There they are!

Blow it! Blow the cave!

[g*nsh*t]

[expl*si*n]

[RUMBLING]

[PANTING]

What a f*cking day.

[LAUGHING]

Oh, my God!

Oh, sh*t.

[LAUGHING]

We did it!

[LAUGHING]

Oh, my gosh!



I got Bobby's truck started
and guess what I found.

- Bobby f*cking Hart.
- Uh-huh.

Go on. You earned it.

All right.

Mmm.

So that's what beer tastes like.

Right.

I'll take that.

[SIGHS]

He was so... perfect.

Why does someone like that have to die?

Because death doesn't give a sh*t.

It doesn't care if you're good or bad.

It just takes.

You wanna get revenge on death?

You keep living.

Do you think this is really over?

Any of those things left
shouldn't be too hard

for someone to take care of.

As long as no one opens that mine,

we should be good.



I know you're in there.

That's why you saved me, isn't it?

[SNARLING AND GROWLING]

[LOUD ROAR]

You remember me, don't you?

[LOW GROWLING]

Here.

Take it! It's yours.

It's just me and you, Dad.

[GROWLS]

It's gonna be okay.
