Previously, on
"Day of The Dead"
Someoneâs gonna have
to go down there.
Blackwood! McDermott.
Got a call from the Cleargenix drill site.
I need you to go take a look.
Got a call about a body? Can you get me down in that hole? I sent you home.
Iâm still here! Sweetheart? It would be unfortunate if the mayorâs son got caught drinking under age with his dickhead friends.
Iâm in a very tight race.
One of the cornerstones of my campaign is open carry.
Letâs do this.
Nicole.
Your wife is right in the next booth.
I am getting married today and it would mean an awful lot if you and dad could be there.
I do not know how you work with dead bodies.
Iâll be taking care of your grandfatherâs service today.
Lauren, the deadâ Not dead anymore.
Get in the basement! Nothing can get in.
Unless theyâre already here.
What kind of funeral home are you running here? I told mama we should have gone to Boltman Brothers Mortuary.
They got a coupon and everything.
Those meat lockers only open from the outside.
As long as no one touches them we should be fine.
Not crazy about the "should be" in that statement? What do you want from me, Cam? My first solo funeral has kind of gone off the rails, here.
I canât get through to the cops.
I canât even get a signal.
Itâs this goddamn basement.
Holy shit, did one of those things bite you? Itâs fine.
Iâm fine.
Youâre right, youâre right.
Zombie bites only turn people into zombies in the movies.
Sheâs gonna turn into a zombie? Iâm not gonna turn into a zombie.
Thatâs what I said.
Besides, she would have to die first.
Iâm not gonna turn into one of those things.
Ok.
Well, if you feel like you suddenly wanna eat us definitely say something first.
Sheâs gonna eat us now?! No! No, no, no, no.
Sheâs gonna say something and then we can shoot her in the head.
Iâll shoot her.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah! Why do you have a gun at a funeral? I ainât taking any chances.
Iâm gonna shoot her.
You donât have to do that.
Yeah, weâ we can just stop the virus from spreading to the rest of her body.
Ok, whatâ like, what? We cut off her arm or something? Do not cut off my arm.
I could suck the poison out.
Iâd rather you cut off my arm.
Jesus, Dale! What did you do? Man, nothing.
It stopped.
DAY OF THE DEAD Season 01 Episode 02 Episode Title: "Chum" Aired on: October 22, 2021.
Come in.
Oh, I knew this was gonna happen, Dr.
Fisher.
Iâve told you a million times, I cannot run away with you.
Do you mind? We got your test results back, Miriam.
Well, they gotta be bad if youâre here on your wedding day.
Um Whatâre we talking? Six months? Three months? Look, we do have options.
Thereâs targeted chemo, stem cell therapy, experimental trials.
Itâsâ No, Iâm not doing any of that.
Iâm 88 years old.
How much more time do I need? You canât just give up.
Oh, my goodness.
Come on.
Live a little.
I donât wanna spend the last three months of my life feeling like shit, and praying that some experimental therapy is gonna let me see 89.
Iâm ready to say goodbye.
Especially to this place.
The food here sucks.
McDermott! Trey, would you hurry up? I wanna hit the polling place at First Baptist before noon.
They have some new booths Iâd love to check out.
I donât know if I can vote again that soon.
Oh shit.
Sheâs poisoning our water! This came out of my tap! I wouldnât give this to my dog! Listen, listen, folks.
I hear what youâre saying.
You feel powerless, you feel ignored Paula.
Donât.
My friends, you can bring real change to Mawinhakin, and all you gotta do is vote.
Yeah! Pops? Hey.
What do you think youâre doing? You know there are laws against campaigning at a polling place.
Iâm not telling them who to vote for.
Besides, someone has to calm them down.
Theyâre very angry.
Take a look at this.
How much are they paying you to defile our land? Defile our land? Cleargenix is the only thing bringing jobs into this town.
Jobs that pay taxes that pay for our schools so your kids can grow up and make something of themselves.
Hey man, you gotta talk some sense into your wife here.
What did you say? Iâm the mayor.
Heâs the husband.
You know what? Maybe you should go out and get one of those jobs I was talking about instead of standing here whining like a snowflake! Ok.
We are all very passionate about our beliefs and thatâs what makes a democracy great.
Thank you for expressing your opinion.
God bless America.
We need to find a back way out of here.
Can you believe that prick? This place would be a ghost town if it wasnât for me.
- Paula, I donât appreciateâ - Talk sense into your wife? Like, what can you do? Now, see, thatâs what I mean.
It just devalues me, thatâs all.
But you are the husband, Trey.
Iâm the one who busted my ass to become mayor.
The first female one in the history of this town, I might add.
When Payâmart shut down Iâm the one who brought in Cleargenix, and when all those sheep are down there stuffing their faces at the new Ruby Tuesdayâs, who do you think theyâre gonna thank, huh? You? Iâm just asking for a little respect.
Trey, try growing some balls and maybe people will respect you.
Nicole, where the hell are we? Iâm sorry, I thought thereâd be an exit in here! Jesus Christ, do I have to do everything? You are an evil woman! This townâs blood is on your hands! No! Buddy? You ok? Man of honor.
Itâsâ itâs weird, right? Man of honor? Iâmâ isâ is it weird or am I weird for thinking itâs weird? I know a lot of women who ask their gay friends to be man of honor.
Yeah, but thatâs the thing, though, Shawn is straight.
Ok, a little unusual.
But nothing to worry about.
And Amyâs exâboyfriend from high school.
Oh, honey.
See? I knew it.
No, heâsâ heâs just so involved with the wedding and always around.
You should have seen the shower he threw her.
It was Iâm so sorry.
I shouldnât be bothering you with this.
Yeah, youâre right.
You should go back to talking about my terminal cancer.
Have you talked to Amy about Shawn? No, no.
Sheâs just so stressed out from the wedding it would just upset her.
Plus I still havenât found a way to tell her that my parents might not even make it here on time.
Dr.
Fisher, you came in here, looked me in the eye and told me I got less than six months to live, but youâre afraid to tell your fiancé that your parentsâ flight is delayed? Iâm not afraid to tell her.
Well, good.
What youâre asking is not a big deal.
If sheâs any kind of woman worth marrying sheâll understand.
- Thanks, cuz.
- Thanks, man.
Weâre gonna be fucking heroes when we show up with this thing.
Yeah.
Alright, lift this thing up.
Alright, lifting.
Alright, lift it up.
- Iâm lifting, man.
- Okay, okay.
Man, letâs just get your cousin to help us with this thing.
Yeah, ask the guy who just literally risked his job to get us this keg illegally, and now tell him to put it in the car.
Man, stop whining.
Lift at your nuts.
Whoo! See? Now thatâs what Iâm talking about.
Thatâs how you kick off senior skip day.
We got a keg, a party in the woods, and if you get enough beers in her, Julie might let you have sex with her.
Dude, donât be gross.
And by the way, we have had sex.
Ok.
We have.
I said ok.
Why are you saying it like you donât believe it? âCause thatâs exactly how I meant it.
Ok.
You canât be here.
Jesus, Jai, youâre not supposed to see me.
I know, I know.
Iâm sorry.
I just uh I need to talk to you.
Ok, well just call me or text me, but you have to leave.
We have to delay the wedding.
What? Look, just for a few hours.
Hopefully.
Look, my parents, theyâre stuck in Florida, thereâs been a tropical storm Oh, my god.
I knew it.
This is so your mother.
Amy, she canât control the weather.
No, but she could have flown in at the beginning of the week like we asked her to.
Instead she has to go make my day all about her.
That is not what sheâs doing.
Iâll justâ Iâll call the club to see if we can start later.
No.
No, no, no.
Weâll add a cocktail hour.
No, no, no, no.
We are getting married at 4:30 whether your parents are here or not.
I canât do that.
Baby, I know, ok? Iâm sorry.
This totally sucks and I want your parents to be here, too.
But everythingâs already been booked for this afternoon and itâs gonna be really expensive if we try and change it and Daddyâs paying for the wedding.
I mean, heâs already given us so much.
This house, your job.
Think about it.
We never would have even met if he hadnât brought you into his practice.
Iâd hate to ask for more.
Wouldnât you? Yeah, yeah, youâre right.
I mean, they should have got here earlier.
Yeah.
We can always show them the video, right? Yeah.
Iâm so glad we talked about this.
Ok, well, now get outta here.
Youâre breaking the rules, mister.
I am in control of my life by the choices I make.
I am in control of my life by the choices I make.
I am in control of my life by the choices I make.
We canât let it out! No shit we canât let it out! You son of a bitch! No one else open one of these.
This is not the way this funeral was supposed to go.
I wanna talk to Lazlo right now.
Be my guest.
Heâs right down here.
Holy sh Alright, look.
I donât know why, I donât know how.
But the dead are coming back to life and theyâre trying to kill us.
We need to stop yelling at each other and figure out how to get the hell outta here.
Uh, did anybody see what happened to the arm? There! What do we do? Youâve got a gun, dumbass! Shoot it! This is a highâstress situation! I donât appreciate you calling me names.
Give me that! Jai! There he is.
Herb.
Hey.
Just gonna start getting dressed.
Getting dressed? Whatâre you talking about? The weddingâs not for two hours.
In this countryâ I am from this country.
Women take hours to get ready.
Men play golf.
I donât know.
If Amy finds out Ah, whatâs she gonna say? Youâre out playing a quick nine with your future fatherâinâlaw.
She canât get mad at that.
Ah, really, Herb.
I donât think itâsâ Iâm not asking you, son.
Now, come on.
Are you sure this is it? Where are all the other cars? Ok, look.
Can you at least act like youâve been to a party before? You know if cars were lined up down this road cops would be on our asses right now.
Ok, so should I move my car? Would you stop talking about the parking? Ok, you know what, look.
There.
See that trail right there? Uhâhuh.
If we follow that itâll take us straight to the lake.
The lakeâs over there.
Oh, I knew that.
Ok.
What? I knew that.
No, I believe you.
You gonna help me with this, or what? Come on.
Fine.
I donât feel like youâre lifting, man.
Iâm lifting.
- I really donât think so.
- I am lifting.
Come on, man.
Quit messing around.
This isnât funny.
Trey, heâs dead! You killed him! Oh god.
I thought he was pulling a gun.
Whyâd you fire in the air? âCause I didnât wanna shoot him! So you were gonna let him shoot me? It wasâ it was water.
It was just water.
He didnât deserve to die for that.
Nicole, get it together! We are gonna get out of this, ok? I am not losing this election because my idiot husband murdered a man! It was an accident! I was just trying to scare him.
I am not a murderer! Iâm just gonna turn myself in.
Iâve never been in trouble in my life, not even a speeding ticket.
Whatâs the worst it can be? Involuntary manslaughter.
Iâm a white guy.
Iâll be out in 18 months.
Youâll wait for me, wonât you? Yes.
- What? - What? I mean, no oneâs going to jail.
We can spin this.
We just have to hide the body until the electionâs over.
Thereâs lots of boxes in here.
We could put him in a box! We are not putting him in a box, Trey! Who told you to shut down? Hey, Rhodes.
Thereâs a cop down there! You keep that drill going youâre gonna kill him! Iâm going down there.
The hell you are! Looks like you folks are having quite the morning.
Which one of you is Rhodes? I am.
Who are you? Iâm Dr.
Logan.
Corporate sent me.
Careful, might get some dust on those fancy shoes of yours.
Honestly, I wasnât expecting to come to a drill site today, but when the company has to call the mayor to get the police to back off, well, it raises some eyebrows.
This is a misunderstanding.
Weâve got this all under control.
Heâs lying.
Thereâs not just a cop down there.
Thereâs something else.
Blackwood, Iâm handling this.
Not anymore.
Raise the drill.
Letâs find out whatâs going on here.
Hey! My Peepaw gave that to me when I was seven! Bobby, we gotta go! Oh, shit! Come on! Go! Get out of here! Go, go, go!!! Guys! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Help me! Help me! We got you, buddy! We got you.
Ok.
We got him.
We got him.
Uh, Cam? Gross! Whereâs Dale? Is he ok? right out the side door.
Letâs just go.
We canât just leave these people.
Yes, we can.
Theyâre horrible.
They bring guns to funerals.
Guns they got when they were seven years old.
Lauren, these people are victims of a political system that preys on their prejudices.
It uses them for their vote then it abandons them to big corporations that profit off their misery.
Itâs not their fault theyâre uneducated white trash.
Uneducated? Iâll have you know Dale had a PhD in sociology.
Oh, great.
The moron that let the zombies out was the smartest one.
Lauren! Listen up, everyone.
Weâre getting outta here.
Itâs ok.
Youâre gonna be ok.
Iâm a doctor.
Itâs not human.
It should be dead.
It should be should We need to figure out what the hell that thing down there is.
Sarah, right? You saved that manâs life.
I know it canât be easy standing up to assholes like Rhodes.
I met plenty of guys like him in the service.
Heâs not as tough as he thinks he is.
Youâve been through a lot today.
Take some time off, with pay.
Just get some rest.
But Iâ I promise.
Weâre securing the site, no more drilling.
The right people are in control now.
This is bullshit! I wanna talk to my union rep! Shut up.
You have monumentally screwed up here.
Assault? Attempted murder? Oh, donât worry.
Iâm gonna give you a chance to fix it.
You make sure she doesnât tell anyone about what happened here today.
Yes, maâam.
Whew! Youâve got a heck of a swing there, kid.
If only you could hit it where you wanted to.
Listen, Herb, I uh I really should be getting back.
You know, Jai, when I interviewed you I didnât know I was hiring my sonâinâlaw.
I mean if I did, Iâd be asking a lot tougher questions.
But now that I see that this marriage is actually gonna happen, well, Iâve been doing some thinking.
I know that the plan was for me to retire and hand off the practice to you, but Iâmâ Iâm thinking Iâm gonna stay on.
Oh for uh, for how long? Oh, I donât know.
âTil I die.
Why are you telling me about this right now? Today? Well, I just wanna make sure you know that if youâre marrying my daughter for my practice you still have time to get out.
That is not why Iâm marrying her.
Good.
Then you wonât mind signing a prenup.
Youâve gotta be kidding me, man.
Jai, youâre a fine doctor.
You might even make a good husband.
But after what happened last year thereâs no way that Iâm leaving my legacy to you.
Now I want that signed before the I doâs.
And donât forget to return my driver when youâre done.
Man, why donât we just leave this thing, go find the party and bring some people back to help us? The whole point is to arrive with it.
Itâs like you donât want to get laid.
Why are you so obsessed with my sex life? Ha! Sex life? I swear to god, Bowman, sometimes I feel like youâre still a virgin.
You know, screw you, Trent.
Holy shit, you are.
Yeah, fine! So what? Then why did you tell me that you nailed Julie? Because youâre always asking me about it.
Youâre all over me all the time.
You never shut up about it.
Ok, whatever.
You can be a virgin.
Itâs cool.
I mean, itâs not cool, but I guess it is, you know, for you.
Itâs not just that.
I almost got caught stealing beer this morning.
I didnât even wanna do it but I had your voice in my head going "come on, dude, donât be such a pussy".
And then my mom comes in and sheâs like "do you have any idea what it would be like "if the mayorâs son got caught drinking?" So I put it back.
But she knows I tried to take it so sheâs disappointed in me.
And, you know, I didnât take it so youâre disappointed in me.
Man, Iâm just so tired of not living up to other peopleâs expectations.
You know what? Itâs my bad, ok? Itâs my bad.
Iâm the bad friend.
Iâm the bad friend.
My bad.
I apologize.
Letâs just get to this party.
Stop.
Dude.
Ok, I will help.
Iâll help you.
Ok, stop.
Come on, where are you? Dammit.
Uh hello? Hey, you uh, you havenât happened to see a driver around here, have you? Uh hello? Great.
Great.
This is uh, this is perfect.
No, no, no.
Okay.
Hey Uh, excuse me.
You, um, you donât happen to know the way back to the golf course, do you? Iâm kinda supposed to be getting married and uh, Iâm a little lost.
What?! What are you doing?! A movie is now starting This is never gonna work.
Just because itâs election day doesnât mean I donât have time to take care of our seniors.
Letâs get you some air.
Nicole, bring the car around.
Why my car? Because we brought the damn truck and we canât drive around town with a dead asshole in the bed.
Oh, dammit.
Mayor Bowman.
Who you got there? Get rid of it.
Where? Anywhere.
Everyoneâs half dead around here, anyway.
Just stash him somewhere.
You wouldnât be trying to sway a voter, would you? Oh, no.
Just being nice.
You know, not everything is about votes.
Now, you know I know thatâs some bullshit.
Ok, Dad.
Here we are.
Look at that.
Theyâve got your favorite show on.
That one that you like.
So much.
Well, I better get going.
Dad, donât be like that.
I know, I should visit you more while youâre alive and healthy and breathing.
Trey, come on! See you next week, Dad.
Love you.
Oh, you donât have to say it back.
I know.
You sure this is gonna work? Yeah, I ran it through a computer simulation and it worked 100 percent of the time.
You could have just said "I donât know".
Letâs do this.
Ok.
Go, go, go, go! Iâm sorry.
Iâm going as fast as I can.
Iâve never carried a body before.
Why do I have to do the part with the guts? Because it was my idea.
Didâ did you just puke in my hearse? Yeah! Iâm not sorry about it, either! A finger Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
They stopped following us.
Hey, over here! Hey! Get off! Get away!!! Go! Drive! Woo! It worked! It worked! You got a little barf on your face there.
Did I get it? Yeah, you got it.
Whew! This shitâs gonna be all foam by the time we get there.
Whew.
Man, where is this party? I donât get it.
Kyle said it was right by the lake.
Man, this lake is huge.
You know, Iâm not feeling your tone right now, ok? Iâm the one who got the beer.
Iâm the one who heard about the party.
All youâve done is bitch.
Youâre right, man.
Iâm sorry.
I could have sworn it was around here.
Maybe the Enfields got âem.
What the hellâs an Enfield? You know, the Enfields.
You know, the story about the lake.
You know, like, back in the old days, pioneer times.
There was a river that went through here? The settlers built a town next to the river.
They lived there for like 100 years.
And then in the 1920âs the government wanted to dam the river to make a lake.
So this one family, this really weird family, the Enfields, refused to leave.
They fought with the government and it got really bad and people died and they still wouldnât leave.
So the government said screw it and they built the dam anyway, and even as the valley flooded the Enfields still wouldnât leave, and they stayed in their homes even as the waters rushed in around them.
Theyâd rather die than leave their houses.
And people say that somewhere deep at the bottom of the lake, in the darkness, the Enfields are still there.
And legend has it that on the light of a full moon, just below the surface, you can see the Enfields waiting there, calling you to join them.
- Oh! - Oh!! Oh I am not going to apologize for speaking the truth.
This town is on the wrong path.
If we keep worrying about trigger warnings and micro aggressions and safe spaces how are we supposed to tackle real problems like unemployment and drug abuse, huh? We canât just hug those things away.
What the heck is going on? Pops is pushing all her buttons and sheâs falling for it.
We have to get him outta here.
I know, Trey.
Listen, I appreciate your passion, I know you care about this town, but the way you go about fixing things is wrong.
Itâs hateful, itâs dangerous, and I wonât stand for it.
Well, youâre gonna have to, Pops, because the polls have me up by five.
Well, now, here is the thing about that.
You are gonna drop out of the race.
What have you been smoking, old man? Thatâs never gonna happen.
I think it is.
You have until 4:30 to concede the race or I go public.
Trey, Nicole.
You folks have yourselves a wonderful day.
- Paula? - Whatâd he say? What does Pops know? Where did you put the body? Relax, itâs safe.
Heâs in the TV room.
Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! 911 what is your emergency? Yeah, I need to report a what the hell do I call this? Zombie apocalypse? I am not saying zombie apocalypse, theyâll hang up on me.
Hello? Hello? Assholes! Itâs fine.
Itâs gonna be fine.
I know.
âCause if you were gonna turn into one of those things you probably would have started to by now, right? Ok.
If you do start to turn, what do you want me to do? Hey! Hey! Hey!
Blackwood! McDermott.
Got a call from the Cleargenix drill site.
I need you to go take a look.
Got a call about a body? Can you get me down in that hole? I sent you home.
Iâm still here! Sweetheart? It would be unfortunate if the mayorâs son got caught drinking under age with his dickhead friends.
Iâm in a very tight race.
One of the cornerstones of my campaign is open carry.
Letâs do this.
Nicole.
Your wife is right in the next booth.
I am getting married today and it would mean an awful lot if you and dad could be there.
I do not know how you work with dead bodies.
Iâll be taking care of your grandfatherâs service today.
Lauren, the deadâ Not dead anymore.
Get in the basement! Nothing can get in.
Unless theyâre already here.
What kind of funeral home are you running here? I told mama we should have gone to Boltman Brothers Mortuary.
They got a coupon and everything.
Those meat lockers only open from the outside.
As long as no one touches them we should be fine.
Not crazy about the "should be" in that statement? What do you want from me, Cam? My first solo funeral has kind of gone off the rails, here.
I canât get through to the cops.
I canât even get a signal.
Itâs this goddamn basement.
Holy shit, did one of those things bite you? Itâs fine.
Iâm fine.
Youâre right, youâre right.
Zombie bites only turn people into zombies in the movies.
Sheâs gonna turn into a zombie? Iâm not gonna turn into a zombie.
Thatâs what I said.
Besides, she would have to die first.
Iâm not gonna turn into one of those things.
Ok.
Well, if you feel like you suddenly wanna eat us definitely say something first.
Sheâs gonna eat us now?! No! No, no, no, no.
Sheâs gonna say something and then we can shoot her in the head.
Iâll shoot her.
Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah! Why do you have a gun at a funeral? I ainât taking any chances.
Iâm gonna shoot her.
You donât have to do that.
Yeah, weâ we can just stop the virus from spreading to the rest of her body.
Ok, whatâ like, what? We cut off her arm or something? Do not cut off my arm.
I could suck the poison out.
Iâd rather you cut off my arm.
Jesus, Dale! What did you do? Man, nothing.
It stopped.

Come in.
Oh, I knew this was gonna happen, Dr.
Fisher.
Iâve told you a million times, I cannot run away with you.
Do you mind? We got your test results back, Miriam.
Well, they gotta be bad if youâre here on your wedding day.
Um Whatâre we talking? Six months? Three months? Look, we do have options.
Thereâs targeted chemo, stem cell therapy, experimental trials.
Itâsâ No, Iâm not doing any of that.
Iâm 88 years old.
How much more time do I need? You canât just give up.
Oh, my goodness.

No, heâsâ heâs just so involved with the wedding and always around.
You should have seen the shower he threw her.
It was Iâm so sorry.
I shouldnât be bothering you with this.
Yeah, youâre right.
You should go back to talking about my terminal cancer.
Have you talked to Amy about Shawn? No, no.
Sheâs just so stressed out from the wedding it would just upset her.
Plus I still havenât found a way to tell her that my parents might not even make it here on time.
Dr.
Fisher, you came in here, looked me in the eye and told me I got less than six months to live, but youâre afraid to tell your fiancé that your parentsâ flight is delayed? Iâm not afraid to tell her.
Well, good.
What youâre asking is not a big deal.
If sheâs any kind of woman worth marrying sheâll understand.
- Thanks, cuz.
- Thanks, man.
Weâre gonna be fucking heroes when we show up with this thing.
Yeah.
Alright, lift this thing up.
Alright, lifting.
Alright, lift it up.
- Iâm lifting, man.
- Okay, okay.
Man, letâs just get your cousin to help us with this thing.
Yeah, ask the guy who just literally risked his job to get us this keg illegally, and now tell him to put it in the car.
Man, stop whining.
Lift at your nuts.
Whoo! See? Now thatâs what Iâm talking about.
Thatâs how you kick off senior skip day.
We got a keg, a party in the woods, and if you get enough beers in her, Julie might let you have sex with her.
Dude, donât be gross.
And by the way, we have had sex.
Ok.
We have.
I said ok.
Why are you saying it like you donât believe it? âCause thatâs exactly how I meant it.
Ok.
You canât be here.
Jesus, Jai, youâre not supposed to see me.
I know, I know.
Iâm sorry.
I just uh I need to talk to you.
Ok, well just call me or text me, but you have to leave.
We have to delay the wedding.
What? Look, just for a few hours.
Hopefully.
Look, my parents, theyâre stuck in Florida, thereâs been a tropical storm Oh, my god.
I knew it.
This is so your mother.
Amy, she canât control the weather.
No, but she could have flown in at the beginning of the week like we asked her to.
Instead she has to go make my day all about her.
That is not what sheâs doing.
Iâll justâ Iâll call the club to see if we can start later.
No.
No, no, no.
Weâll add a cocktail hour.
No, no, no, no.
We are getting married at 4:30 whether your parents are here or not.
I canât do that.
Baby, I know, ok? Iâm sorry.
This totally sucks and I want your parents to be here, too.
But everythingâs already been booked for this afternoon and itâs gonna be really expensive if we try and change it and Daddyâs paying for the wedding.
I mean, heâs already given us so much.
This house, your job.
Think about it.
We never would have even met if he hadnât brought you into his practice.
Iâd hate to ask for more.
Wouldnât you? Yeah, yeah, youâre right.
I mean, they should have got here earlier.
Yeah.
We can always show them the video, right? Yeah.
Iâm so glad we talked about this.
Ok, well, now get outta here.
Youâre breaking the rules, mister.
I am in control of my life by the choices I make.
I am in control of my life by the choices I make.
I am in control of my life by the choices I make.
We canât let it out! No shit we canât let it out! You son of a bitch! No one else open one of these.
This is not the way this funeral was supposed to go.
I wanna talk to Lazlo right now.
Be my guest.
Heâs right down here.
Holy sh Alright, look.
I donât know why, I donât know how.
But the dead are coming back to life and theyâre trying to kill us.
We need to stop yelling at each other and figure out how to get the hell outta here.
Uh, did anybody see what happened to the arm? There! What do we do? Youâve got a gun, dumbass! Shoot it! This is a highâstress situation! I donât appreciate you calling me names.
Give me that! Jai! There he is.
Herb.
Hey.
Just gonna start getting dressed.
Getting dressed? Whatâre you talking about? The weddingâs not for two hours.
In this countryâ I am from this country.
Women take hours to get ready.
Men play golf.
I donât know.
If Amy finds out Ah, whatâs she gonna say? Youâre out playing a quick nine with your future fatherâinâlaw.
She canât get mad at that.
Ah, really, Herb.
I donât think itâsâ Iâm not asking you, son.
Now, come on.
Are you sure this is it? Where are all the other cars? Ok, look.
Can you at least act like youâve been to a party before? You know if cars were lined up down this road cops would be on our asses right now.
Ok, so should I move my car? Would you stop talking about the parking? Ok, you know what, look.
There.
See that trail right there? Uhâhuh.
If we follow that itâll take us straight to the lake.
The lakeâs over there.
Oh, I knew that.
Ok.
What? I knew that.
No, I believe you.
You gonna help me with this, or what? Come on.
Fine.
I donât feel like youâre lifting, man.
Iâm lifting.
- I really donât think so.
- I am lifting.
Come on, man.
Quit messing around.
This isnât funny.
Trey, heâs dead! You killed him! Oh god.
I thought he was pulling a gun.
Whyâd you fire in the air? âCause I didnât wanna shoot him! So you were gonna let him shoot me? It wasâ it was water.
It was just water.
He didnât deserve to die for that.
Nicole, get it together! We are gonna get out of this, ok? I am not losing this election because my idiot husband murdered a man! It was an accident! I was just trying to scare him.
I am not a murderer! Iâm just gonna turn myself in.
Iâve never been in trouble in my life, not even a speeding ticket.
Whatâs the worst it can be? Involuntary manslaughter.
Iâm a white guy.
Iâll be out in 18 months.
Youâll wait for me, wonât you? Yes.
- What? - What? I mean, no oneâs going to jail.
We can spin this.
We just have to hide the body until the electionâs over.
Thereâs lots of boxes in here.
We could put him in a box! We are not putting him in a box, Trey! Who told you to shut down? Hey, Rhodes.
Thereâs a cop down there! You keep that drill going youâre gonna kill him! Iâm going down there.
The hell you are! Looks like you folks are having quite the morning.
Which one of you is Rhodes? I am.
Who are you? Iâm Dr.
Logan.
Corporate sent me.
Careful, might get some dust on those fancy shoes of yours.
Honestly, I wasnât expecting to come to a drill site today, but when the company has to call the mayor to get the police to back off, well, it raises some eyebrows.
This is a misunderstanding.
Weâve got this all under control.
Heâs lying.
Thereâs not just a cop down there.
Thereâs something else.
Blackwood, Iâm handling this.
Not anymore.
Raise the drill.
Letâs find out whatâs going on here.
Hey! My Peepaw gave that to me when I was seven! Bobby, we gotta go! Oh, shit! Come on! Go! Get out of here! Go, go, go!!! Guys! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Bobby! Help me! Help me! We got you, buddy! We got you.
Ok.
We got him.
We got him.
Uh, Cam? Gross! Whereâs Dale? Is he ok? right out the side door.
Letâs just go.
We canât just leave these people.
Yes, we can.
Theyâre horrible.
They bring guns to funerals.
Guns they got when they were seven years old.
Lauren, these people are victims of a political system that preys on their prejudices.
It uses them for their vote then it abandons them to big corporations that profit off their misery.
Itâs not their fault theyâre uneducated white trash.
Uneducated? Iâll have you know Dale had a PhD in sociology.
Oh, great.
The moron that let the zombies out was the smartest one.
Lauren! Listen up, everyone.
Weâre getting outta here.
Itâs ok.
Youâre gonna be ok.
Iâm a doctor.
Itâs not human.
It should be dead.
It should be should We need to figure out what the hell that thing down there is.
Sarah, right? You saved that manâs life.
I know it canât be easy standing up to assholes like Rhodes.
I met plenty of guys like him in the service.
Heâs not as tough as he thinks he is.
Youâve been through a lot today.
Take some time off, with pay.
Just get some rest.
But Iâ I promise.
Weâre securing the site, no more drilling.
The right people are in control now.
This is bullshit! I wanna talk to my union rep! Shut up.
You have monumentally screwed up here.
Assault? Attempted murder? Oh, donât worry.
Iâm gonna give you a chance to fix it.
You make sure she doesnât tell anyone about what happened here today.
Yes, maâam.
Whew! Youâve got a heck of a swing there, kid.
If only you could hit it where you wanted to.
Listen, Herb, I uh I really should be getting back.
You know, Jai, when I interviewed you I didnât know I was hiring my sonâinâlaw.
I mean if I did, Iâd be asking a lot tougher questions.
But now that I see that this marriage is actually gonna happen, well, Iâve been doing some thinking.
I know that the plan was for me to retire and hand off the practice to you, but Iâmâ Iâm thinking Iâm gonna stay on.
Oh for uh, for how long? Oh, I donât know.
âTil I die.
Why are you telling me about this right now? Today? Well, I just wanna make sure you know that if youâre marrying my daughter for my practice you still have time to get out.
That is not why Iâm marrying her.
Good.
Then you wonât mind signing a prenup.
Youâve gotta be kidding me, man.
Jai, youâre a fine doctor.
You might even make a good husband.
But after what happened last year thereâs no way that Iâm leaving my legacy to you.
Now I want that signed before the I doâs.
And donât forget to return my driver when youâre done.
Man, why donât we just leave this thing, go find the party and bring some people back to help us? The whole point is to arrive with it.
Itâs like you donât want to get laid.
Why are you so obsessed with my sex life? Ha! Sex life? I swear to god, Bowman, sometimes I feel like youâre still a virgin.
You know, screw you, Trent.
Holy shit, you are.
Yeah, fine! So what? Then why did you tell me that you nailed Julie? Because youâre always asking me about it.
Youâre all over me all the time.
You never shut up about it.
Ok, whatever.
You can be a virgin.
Itâs cool.
I mean, itâs not cool, but I guess it is, you know, for you.
Itâs not just that.
I almost got caught stealing beer this morning.
I didnât even wanna do it but I had your voice in my head going "come on, dude, donât be such a pussy".
And then my mom comes in and sheâs like "do you have any idea what it would be like "if the mayorâs son got caught drinking?" So I put it back.
But she knows I tried to take it so sheâs disappointed in me.
And, you know, I didnât take it so youâre disappointed in me.
Man, Iâm just so tired of not living up to other peopleâs expectations.
You know what? Itâs my bad, ok? Itâs my bad.
Iâm the bad friend.
Iâm the bad friend.
My bad.
I apologize.
Letâs just get to this party.
Stop.
Dude.
Ok, I will help.
Iâll help you.
Ok, stop.
Come on, where are you? Dammit.
Uh hello? Hey, you uh, you havenât happened to see a driver around here, have you? Uh hello? Great.
Great.
This is uh, this is perfect.
No, no, no.
Okay.
Hey Uh, excuse me.
You, um, you donât happen to know the way back to the golf course, do you? Iâm kinda supposed to be getting married and uh, Iâm a little lost.
What?! What are you doing?! A movie is now starting This is never gonna work.
Just because itâs election day doesnât mean I donât have time to take care of our seniors.
Letâs get you some air.
Nicole, bring the car around.
Why my car? Because we brought the damn truck and we canât drive around town with a dead asshole in the bed.
Oh, dammit.
Mayor Bowman.
Who you got there? Get rid of it.
Where? Anywhere.
Everyoneâs half dead around here, anyway.
Just stash him somewhere.
You wouldnât be trying to sway a voter, would you? Oh, no.
Just being nice.
You know, not everything is about votes.
Now, you know I know thatâs some bullshit.
Ok, Dad.
Here we are.
Look at that.
Theyâve got your favorite show on.
That one that you like.
So much.
Well, I better get going.
Dad, donât be like that.
I know, I should visit you more while youâre alive and healthy and breathing.
Trey, come on! See you next week, Dad.
Love you.
Oh, you donât have to say it back.
I know.
You sure this is gonna work? Yeah, I ran it through a computer simulation and it worked 100 percent of the time.
You could have just said "I donât know".
Letâs do this.
Ok.
Go, go, go, go! Iâm sorry.
Iâm going as fast as I can.
Iâve never carried a body before.
Why do I have to do the part with the guts? Because it was my idea.
Didâ did you just puke in my hearse? Yeah! Iâm not sorry about it, either! A finger Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
They stopped following us.
Hey, over here! Hey! Get off! Get away!!! Go! Drive! Woo! It worked! It worked! You got a little barf on your face there.
Did I get it? Yeah, you got it.
Whew! This shitâs gonna be all foam by the time we get there.
Whew.
Man, where is this party? I donât get it.
Kyle said it was right by the lake.
Man, this lake is huge.
You know, Iâm not feeling your tone right now, ok? Iâm the one who got the beer.
Iâm the one who heard about the party.
All youâve done is bitch.
Youâre right, man.
Iâm sorry.
I could have sworn it was around here.
Maybe the Enfields got âem.
What the hellâs an Enfield? You know, the Enfields.
You know, the story about the lake.
You know, like, back in the old days, pioneer times.
There was a river that went through here? The settlers built a town next to the river.
They lived there for like 100 years.
And then in the 1920âs the government wanted to dam the river to make a lake.
So this one family, this really weird family, the Enfields, refused to leave.
They fought with the government and it got really bad and people died and they still wouldnât leave.
So the government said screw it and they built the dam anyway, and even as the valley flooded the Enfields still wouldnât leave, and they stayed in their homes even as the waters rushed in around them.
Theyâd rather die than leave their houses.
And people say that somewhere deep at the bottom of the lake, in the darkness, the Enfields are still there.
And legend has it that on the light of a full moon, just below the surface, you can see the Enfields waiting there, calling you to join them.
- Oh! - Oh!! Oh I am not going to apologize for speaking the truth.
This town is on the wrong path.
If we keep worrying about trigger warnings and micro aggressions and safe spaces how are we supposed to tackle real problems like unemployment and drug abuse, huh? We canât just hug those things away.
What the heck is going on? Pops is pushing all her buttons and sheâs falling for it.
We have to get him outta here.
I know, Trey.
Listen, I appreciate your passion, I know you care about this town, but the way you go about fixing things is wrong.
Itâs hateful, itâs dangerous, and I wonât stand for it.
Well, youâre gonna have to, Pops, because the polls have me up by five.
Well, now, here is the thing about that.
You are gonna drop out of the race.
What have you been smoking, old man? Thatâs never gonna happen.
I think it is.
You have until 4:30 to concede the race or I go public.
Trey, Nicole.
You folks have yourselves a wonderful day.
- Paula? - Whatâd he say? What does Pops know? Where did you put the body? Relax, itâs safe.
Heâs in the TV room.
Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit! 911 what is your emergency? Yeah, I need to report a what the hell do I call this? Zombie apocalypse? I am not saying zombie apocalypse, theyâll hang up on me.
Hello? Hello? Assholes! Itâs fine.
Itâs gonna be fine.
I know.
âCause if you were gonna turn into one of those things you probably would have started to by now, right? Ok.
If you do start to turn, what do you want me to do? Hey! Hey! Hey!
