Previously on Z Nation.
Whoa.
It's a real live baby.
Don't hold him like he's a live grenade.
Me and babies, not so much.
We're on a high priority mission to get this man to a CDC lab in California.
Can't worry about some raggedy ass group of civilians.
Nothing raggedy ass about this group of civilians, sir.
Relax.
Garnett and Warren know what they're doing.
There you are.
Ah, thank you, honey.
Mmmm-mmm.
Nothing like the first cup.
I will see your vicodin and raise you one tetracycline.
Call.
Three of a kind.
Full house.
Aces high.
Man.
That's five hands in a row.
If you're gonna continue to use my deck you need to quit pulling cards out your ass.
Oh boo hoo.
Hey shhh.
Hold on, he's back on.
Friends, I'm talking about mean weather coming in fast.
Some reports of tornados.
Find shelter and take cover.
It's dangerous out there.
More so than usual.
Now back to the soothing sounds of the Apocalypse.
You know after he was so wrong about that chopper weatherman's a pretty good job for that geek.
You're up.
All good? Peaceful night.
Your stalker said there's a storm front coming in.
How is it out there? Cloudy with a chance of zombie.
Okay, you two get some rest.
You got it.
I've had worse days.
It's not a bad set up.
Mmm-hmmm.
You know, I'm really starting to feel at home here.
I'm thinking about putting a barbecue right here.
This one needs to be flipped.
I really like what they did with the landscaping, the flowers, everything.
So homey.
Yeah.
Too bad they're dead.
Yeah.
Okay.
Sorry.
Wrong room.
Okay.
Oh my God.
A bed.
When was the last time we did it in a bed? What do you think? Naked? Like no clothes? Full commando, baby.
Oh my God, you are such a romantic.
The blanket I was just Sorry.
Scared of that one.
Best not to mess.
You know if we breed those two, it'd be all over for the zombies Can't remember the last time I snuck off with somebody.
I can't remember the last time I wanted to.
You still think about him? Antoine? I try not to.
And I never heard what happened, so there's not much point.
What about you? I used to think about Amy and the kids everyday.
Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the end all over again.
It got to a certain point where I just gave up.
Didn't care if I lived or died.
And a funny thing happened.
I didn't die.
And with everything that's happened it's been harder and harder to remember the past.
I guess that's a good thing, right? Guess so.
Are we close by your hometown? I know what you're thinking, and the answer is no.
Just swing by on our way west.
Why? It's long gone.
He's gone.
And I just wish that I would've waited for him and said goodbye before the last time I got shipped out.
Don't you want to know for sure? You can't start forgetting what you don't know.
That does not look good.
It's tornado weather.
That was close.
Hey, hey.
Are you okay? Uh, yeah.
No.
No, I dunno.
Incoming! Puppies and kittens! Time to go! Everybody out the back! I give you mercy.
Have Mercy Oh, have mercy I hate blind spots, boy.
Make me anxious.
Mess with my digestion.
That was funny.
Sorry, I forgot you.
Oh that's right, you're on the wagon.
Sorry, I forgot.
The only thing worse than drinking alone is not drinking.
Hello, beautiful.
What are we looking at here? Wow.
Dang.
They don't call it Tornado Alley for nothing.
I am not drunk.
You're drunk.
No, your mom's drunk.
In our continuing effort to bring you up to the minute information, we at Z-TV have acquired a National Weather Service satellite that they aren't using anymore.
But that's not important.
We now go to John Smith, southern weather correspondent to get his opinion on the story.
This is the badassest storm this weatherman has ever seen.
From the Gulf of Mexico right up the Mississippi Valley, trouble is brewing.
I don't know if they call this thing a turricane or a tornado or what.
But if you're anywhere south of Chicago or east of the Rockies, I'm issuing a get your butt in a bunker warning.
Hey, I hope you guys are getting this.
Addy and friends.
You guys got to seek shelter immediately because this is bad.
And when you seek shelter immediately and after you do that, you need to contact me and tell me where you are.
And I'll update you with further instructions.
Okay? All right, well this is Citizen Z, and I'm signing off.
Who's Addy? So which way do we go? The storm is pushing north from the gulf.
If we make it to the I-70, we can outrun it.
That storm is going faster than that craptastic truck ever will.
Yeah, we got to get off the road.
You heard Citizen Z.
We got to seek shelter.
What we need is to get the hell out of here.
I ain't stopping just cuz some punk with a satellite says so.
Okay, hang on.
Am I missing something? You did not drag my ass this far so that mankind's hope could get sucked up by a tornado, did you? Hey, Addy.
You know you've been quiet.
Just want to make sure you're okay.
Yeah, I'm fine.
Just, you know, zombies.
Anybody got a mint? Castle Point.
That's your hometown right? Whoa.
Look at that storm coming in.
Okay, fine.
You win.
Welcome home, Roberta.
So you know this town? Born and raised here.
We need to take cover.
Is there someplace safe nearby? Yeah, there's a storm cellar in my house.
How close by is your house? It's not far.
I knew these people.
My neighbor.
My boss.
My Is that him? Who's him? Oh, no.
No.
We are not here searching for dead hubby, are we? Let's go.
Shelter's this way.
Get going.
It's so green.
I never seen a sky look like that.
I've only seen tornadoes on TV.
I don't like tornadoes.
I'm pretty sure they don't like me either.
That it? That's it.
Come on! If he's in there and he's I will not hesitate.
Home sweet zombie.
Get out of that chair! Go on and get out of there! That's my husband's favorite chair! All right.
Uh, upstairs is all good.
I got this.
Please don't shoot us.
My husband is hurt.
What are you doing in my house? The fireman said we'd be safe here.
Here we go.
Bark like a dog for me.
Well I wasn't talking to you, but I'm impressed.
God.
From a Category Three to the Seventh Circle of Hell.
Delta-Xray-Delta, I hope you guys aren't underneath that.
Come on.
Drop me a note.
Send up a flare.
Give me a ring.
I can't help you if I can't find you.
You're going to be okay.
He's a doctor.
Uh, well they sorta just call me Doc.
No.
No doctor.
I just need a nap.
Oh that, no that wouldn't be good, dude.
Do not nap.
Don't let him fall asleep.
He's got a bad concussion at least.
Rick? Rick? Help him! Basement's clear.
Is he gonna be okay? Is this the fireman? What? Is this the fireman that brought you here? I don't know.
Maybe.
He was wearing a helmet.
Maybe it's him.
I think it is.
Thank you.
We need to get out of here before this storm hits.
And go where, huh? What are we supposed to do, just sit heres cure.
We can ride it out down there.
Let's just gather some supplies before it hits.
Kitchen was pretty well stocked up.
There's water and canned food.
No medical supplies, no batteries though.
We need to get our communications up.
You two, go out in the neighborhood.
See what you can find.
But don't go far.
Be sure to get back before the storm hits.
Janey what are all these people doing here? My parents will be home for dinner any minute.
Is he gonna make it? Is that a serious question? I don't know.
He got cracked on the dome.
Okay, I for one do not want to be trapped in a basement with this guy when he starts craving brains.
Don't mind him.
His mama didn't raise him right.
Well if I had the proper meds or a first aid kit You know the fire station may still have first aid supplies.
Hey, lock down the basement.
If that kid turns, I want you to be right on that.
Yeah, of course.
Keep an eye on Murphy.
We'll be back before the party starts.
Addy! Addy! Hey! What? What? What? This place brings back so many memories.
What?! My first kiss.
With the fireman? Antoine, yeah.
Look out! I totally forgot about that kiss until now! That must have been some kiss! It was more than just a kiss! It was a kiss that explained things We couldn't seem to say to each other! Look who's the big romantic! I think that's the first personal story you ever told me! I loved that boy.
This way.
Doesn't look like anybody's been here for a while.
Sorry.
Let's find what we can and get out of here.
First aid kits look good.
Hardly touched.
Even some morphine.
Don't tell Doc.
You know he could still be around here somewhere.
Yeah.
I sent this after the Battle of New Jersey two years ago.
Closest we got to a goodbye.
I deployed while he was on duty.
I should've waited for him to get home.
Look.
Someone's living in your house.
The pantry's stocked.
That couple said they met a fireman.
There's a chance he's That life is gone.
I've known that for a long time.
We don't have much time.
Shelter! Now! Pick your poison.
It's safer in here than out there.
Okay.
Do you see him? It's the living against the dead now.
All right.
I'm out.
Me too.
Behind you.
Antoine? Look out! Antoine.
Is that him? No.
No, it's his best friend, Dearborn.
Matt Dearborn.
Here.
Thanks.
Yeah.
Easy now.
Sorry.
Tell those frat boys out there to turn down the death metal.
I'll call the cops again.
I'll tell them.
The dude's brain is getting crushed by the swelling.
We need to relieve the pressure.
Great.
How we gonna do that? Uh, I don't know exactly.
But But I saw this once on an episode of ER.
We need to drain the blood out I think.
So I need something sharp and pointy to Like a corkscrew, an ice pick? Murphy! Murphy? A little help.
Damn it.
Murphy! What the hell, man? Murphy! The world's coming apart around us, man.
And you decide it's time for a haircut? Keep him away from Rick! Murphy, I need your help.
Find something sharp to penetrate his skull.
Sharp enough to penetrate his skull.
Got it.
About time we piked him.
What is he talking about?! Way to read the room! What is he talking about? Don't, don't worry.
Nobody's gonna pike your husband.
Where's Addy? Addy! Addy? Addy? What, what is this? I don't know.
I don't know.
Mack! I need you, man! - Go.
- All right.
How we doin' Murphy?! Thanks.
Okay.
Just hold him still.
Now look, if this works right there could be a lot of blood.
But that's good.
That's a good thing because we want to relieve the pressure.
And then that way the brain will have room to Don't watch.
Oh damn.
I knew this was gonna happen.
Oh Don't look at me doctor.
Jeez, kid.
As a hammer.
A hammer.

Is this gonna work? I don't know.

He's gonna be all right.
I know it.
I know it.
Here.
Just apply pressure.
Just like that.
