Of The Dead.
Hey, Rhodes!

I'm Dr. Logan.

There's not just a cop
down there.

There's something else.

Ahhhhh!!!!

Ahhhhhh!!!!!!!

I'm a doctor.

You make sure she doesn't
tell anyone

about what happened here today.

Yes, ma'am.

You can bring real change
to Mawinhaken.

All you gotta do is vote.

I'm the mayor.

You are an evil woman!

No!

I am not losing this election

because my idiot husband
m*rder*d a man!

It was an accident!

We just have to hide the body
until the election's over.

Sweetheart?

I'm in a very tight race
and it would be unfortunate

if the mayor's son got caught
drinking under age

with his dickhead friends.

Man, where is this party?

We got your test results back.

Well, they gotta be bad if
you're here on your wedding day.

Excuse me.

I'm a little lost.

Come on!

What does Pops have on you?

Why does he think he can get you
to drop out of the race?

I mean, it's not like
we have any secrets.

Our whole life's an open book.

We're not doing anything shady.

Trey.

We are trying to smuggle a
corpse out of a nursing home.

How does Pops know about that?!

He doesn't.

Thank god.

Look, don't worry about Pops.

Right now we have to deal
with that body

before anyone finds out
that you k*lled him.

Jesus Christ, could you say it
any louder?

Holy sh*t, he's alive!

I didn't k*ll him!

Thank you, Jesus.

Everything's gonna be alright.

Hi.

He was eating a leg, right?

Like, a human leg?

Like, with a foot
and everything?

No, no, no.

That‐ that's impossible.

There's gotta be a rational
explanation.

Why do you need that?

Just in case he was
eating a leg.

Where'd he go?

My god.

He's gone.

I think he went out that way.

You wanna go after him?

No, no, no.

We‐ we have to call the police.

What're you doing?

Nicole, think for one second.

Ok?

All of those people out there
saw me arguing with that guy.

Now he has a b*llet in his head.

A b*llet that came from my g*n.

We call the police,
I lose everything.

Mawinhaken is my home.

The people here
are my neighbors,

my friends, my family.

I made a promise
to protect them.

If someone hurts one of my cubs,
they're going down.

If I stop that lunatic
I'll be a hero.

Screw Pops Parker.
Screw being mayor.

I could be governor.

She's lost it.

You think?

I'm Paula Bowman and
I approve this message.

HI Parts Deleted By
DvX3M

He jumped right in front
of my car, you saw it,

there was nothing I could do.

I know, it's not
your fault.

Let's just get him
to the hospital.

We don't know how bad he's hurt.

Forget it.

I show up with a guy
that I hit with my car

and they're gonna call
the police.

Good. We could use
the police.

We got a lot to tell them about.

Cam, I have a record.
I'm on parole.

I am not going back to jail.

Hey! Hey!

Why?!

Why is there a body back here?

God! God!!
Please don't k*ll me!

We're not gonna k*ll you.

The zombies might.

We're not gonna hurt you.

You have nothing to be
afraid of.

Again, the zombies.

Lauren, you're not helping.

Lauren?

What's up, doc?

You two know each other?

We've met.

Why am I in the back
of your hearse?

Because Cam wouldn't let me
leave you

on the side of the road.

You ran out into the street
like a crazy person.

We had no other choice.

There was a man.

There was a man in the woods.

He... he was eating
a person.

That can't be our zombies
from the funeral home,

they were way behind us.

Maybe it's spreading.

Wha‐wait‐ are... are you guys
saying zombies?

What are you, insane?

What else would you call
something that digs itself

out of a grave and tries
to eat you alive?

Jesus, Lauren.

When did this happen?

About 30 minutes ago.

Ok.

Alright, we gotta get you
to a hospital immediately.

Yes.

Christ!

How many times do
I have to say it?

No hospitals.

Fine. Fine.

We'll‐ we'll go to my office.

Yeah, like I'd ever step foot
in that place again.

Ok.

I... I know where we can go.

Ok, just forget about the bite.

We need to get the hell
out of town.

Lauren, you could get a blood
infection and you could die.

Lauren.

Fine.

Sure, why not?

Let's add a flat to today.

God, you're a pain in my ass.

Come on. Come on.
Come on.

It's Amy.
I'm getting married!

There's an infirmary here.

I'll stitch you up.
It'll take five minutes, tops.

What do you think those
protestors are about?

Do you think it's elderly abuse?

People of advanced age have
rights, too. If the elderly‐

Cam, it's a polling place.

They're pissed about
the election.

Come on, let's go.

As your campaign manager

I need to know what Pops
has on you.

You wanna talk about this
right now?

If we get out of this that is
the next fire I need to put out.

It's Luke, ok?

He's... Trey isn't...

My god!

Does Trey know?

No, he doesn't.
He can never find out.

Nobody can.

Paula!

Nobody.

Trey?

Trey?

Trey?

Trey?

Trey?

You in here?

Trey?

Trey?

Trey?

Hey.

What the hell are you doing?

I was just looking around.

I was thinking, I saw this
medical mysteries show once

where a guy got sh*t
in the head and lived.

But when he woke up all
he could speak was French.

What if the same thing happened
with our guy?

What if the b*llet damaged
a part of the brain

that distinguishes
between people and food?

Please, Dr. Bowman,
explain to me

which part of the brain turns
someone into a cannibal?

Jesus, Paula, you don't have
to be mean about it.

I was just thinking out loud.

Let's just find this assh*le.

God.

Gotcha.

It's McDermott.

Leave a message and
I'll call you back.

Dad, there's some
serious sh*t going on.

Where are you?

Call me back.

Come on.

sh*t.

Come on.

What the hell is going on?!

Let me out of here!

Ahhhhh!!!!

No, no, no, no!

Argh!!!!!!

Come on, come on!

Is that a f*cking tooth?

Trey.

Is that Paula's?

Why do you have it?

Trey, you're a wonderful guy.

You are sweet and charming
and kind,

and Paula doesn't deserve you.

What're you talking about?

I know you're never gonna
leave her.

This way you don't have to.

My god, you took this
on purpose?

When she finds that lunatic
she'll try and sh**t him

but click, no b*ll*ts.

And then he'll do to her what he
did to those people back there.

And then we can be together.

We can't.

Trey.

Don't give her that clip.

This will all work out perfectly
if you just do nothing.

She's the mother of my child.

Some of this tissue has already
becoming necrotic.

I'm gonna have to remove the
margins before I can stitch it.

Just let me get something
to numb the area.

No!

Forget it.

Lauren, it's just
a local anesthetic.

No dr*gs.

You of all people
should know that.

Fine.

But it's gonna hurt like hell.

Mrs. French?

What... what are you doing?

Why... why are you on oxygen?

I have lung cancer.

Remember that death sentence
you dropped on me this morning?

Yeah, but you weren't on oxygen.

So, is this business
or personal?

No, it's definitely
business.

Don't change the subject.

I was having a little trouble
catching my breath.

After I had a cigarette.

You should not be smoking.

I'm dying, kid.
What's it matter?

If I gotta go, I'm gonna go
out enjoying myself?

I like her.
You want one?

Hey. No, no.
Absolutely not.

Buzz k*ll.

Nobody's answering
at the police station.

She gonna be ok?

Calm down.
I'll be fine.

I was asking him.

I don't know if that bite's
gonna turn you

into one of those things or not.

Honestly, I have no idea
what the pathology of this is.

You're the doctor, aren't you
supposed to know this sh*t?

Sorry they didn't teach
zombie epidemiology

in med school.

Gotcha!

Come on out.

I'm not gonna hurt ya.

Son of a bitch.

Paula, I need to talk to you.

He's not even here.

Paula, it's not what you think.

Nicole, look out!

What the hell?

No!


Please, don't.

Just... don't.

I'm so sorry.

You didn't deserve this.

Is she...

She just loved...
you so much.

She's like family.

I don't get it.

What the hell happened
to my clip?

Maybe it just fell out?

Clips don't just fall out, Trey.

I don't know, Paula.

Does it really matter right now?

Yes!

If my g*n had been loaded
Nicole wouldn't be dead.

You're just going to leave her?

Yes, Trey.
Leave her.

f*ck, he's gone.
Let's go.

Goodbye.

I can't... I can't
quite reach.

Hurry up, man.
You're pulling my arm off.

I'm almost there, almost there.

Dude, my hand's slipping.

Almost there.

My hand's slipping!

sh*t!

My kicks.

Man.

Look, it's not funny.

Man, you're right there.
Just grab the keg.

Pull it out.

Come on.

Yeah, just pull it out.

Yeah, ok, I gotcha.

‐Pull, bro.
‐I'm pulling.

There you go.

Today sucks.

Ok, our one senior skip day
and the funniest thing

that we have done is chase Cam
around a cemetery.

Yeah. Yeah, it was
pretty weak.

Man, look.

If you wanna kick Cam's ass,
I'll kick Cam's ass.

'Cause I'm good like that.

No, man, it's not that
I wanna kick his ass.

I just...

Alright, what's up?
You gotta talk to me.

I don't know.

Bro, I'm here for you.

It's just Cam and I used
to be best friends‐

Holy f*ck.

I‐ I think it's the party!

Yo, it's the party!
It's the‐ it's the party!

Dude.

Everybody get down!

That's right, eyes on me.
Not on them, assh*le.

Ok, ok. That's it.

No more stitches.
You're done.

Lauren, you could really use
a couple more‐

I'd say you're done.

Was that a g*nsh*t?

You don't think...

I need you all to clear out!

Don't worry, I got this!

What kind of dr*gs
is this guy on?

I don't think it's dr*gs.

sh*t, I'm out!

Then reload!

The g*n was for show, Trey!

I wasn't planning
on sh**ting someone!

Paula!

Paula, help me!

Get off of my husband!

He should be dead, right?

Holy sh*t.

He's not the only one.

My god.

What are these things?

Why is this happening?

How should I know?

You think it's a virus, or...
what if it is the fracking?

What if it caused this?

You're blaming me?

You‐ you think I caused this?

No!

But you did bring
Cleargenix here.

We have to leave.

We can't‐

Now.

I have to get to City Hall.

City Hall? We need
to get Luke!

He's at a party out by the lake!

How do you know that?

Because he talks to me, Paula.

This city is in crisis, Trey.
I am the mayor!

You're his mother.

Drop me off at City Hall.

You go and get Luke,
then you go home.

You'll be safe there.

Did anybody hear g*nshots?

sh*t!

‐Those are...
‐Yeah, we know.

Come, come on.

Is everything ok?

No. No, come on.

Blackwood!

Blackwood!

Blackwood!

You don't know the kind of
people we're messing with here.

You think I'm the bad guy.

I'm just the messenger.

You go to the cops again,
talk to any reporters...

They'll do worse

than blow your tire out.

You don't know these people.

You make yourself inconvenient

and they'll make you disappear.

Where are you?!

Go home, Blackwood!

Keep your mouth shut!

Maybe you'll stay alive.

We leave the way we came in,
through the back.

I'm not going anywhere!

Lady, those things
are gonna k*ll us.

Yeah, well my friends live here.

I'm not gonna leave them
to those monsters.

Look, she's right.

These people can't
defend themselves.

It'll be a m*ssacre.

Are you serious?

We don't have time to get
everyone out of here.

Cam, come on.

We can't just abandon them.

It's the greatest generation.

Some of those people might
have walked on the moon.

Nobody here walked
on the moon, kid.

They're people, Lauren.

I f*cking hate people.

Miller?

Hurry up.

I wanna get this thing
out of here ASAP.

This way, assholes!

Nice bedpans.

Is this gonna work?

It has to.

Stay in your rooms!

There's murderers out here.
They want to k*ll you!

Jesus Christ, are you trying
to scare them to death?

I'm being honest.

Be a little less honest.

If you pull that fire alarm

all the hallway doors shut
automatically at once.

We bring them in,
pull that alarm,

and we've trapped them.

Ok.

What now?

We wait.

Pull it!

Not yet!

Wait 'til they're all in.

Wait.

Pull it!

Not yet.

Ok, they're in!

Pull it!

sh*t, the door didn't close!

You can't stay here!

What are you doing?!

It's locked!

You have to open it
from the inside!

I'll be dead in six months.

This way at least I can make
a difference.

Please, no!

Get him outta here.

No! No!

‐No!
‐We have to go!‐

No! No!

No! No!

You can kiss my saggy ass.

Trent?

Trent, what the hell, man?

Where are you?

Dude, I'm gonna leave
this keg here.

Trent?
