The Vanishing
1 Previously on "Z Nation" - Dr.
Teller? - Come with me.
You're no longer safe here.
[GASPS.]
There's a helicopter leaving in the next fifteen minutes.
And if we're not on that chopper we don't survive.
Supplies are all still here.
Even ammo.
It makes no sense.
- No sign of a struggle.
- Like they vanished into thin air.
- Where are we going anyway? - Your daughter's alive.
Lucy? [CRYING.]
[HELICOPTER ROARING.]
GUARD: Estimate six days to our next rendezvous.
- Roberta.
- What? Lucy.
Yeah, right.
[BIRDS SINGING.]
RED: [WHISPERING.]

[THUD.]
Dad? Have mercy - [TWO GUNSHOTS.]
- [THUNK.]
Oh, have mercy Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
I didn't know you were alive.
Yeah, well, now you know.
You've grown.
Yeah, that happens regardless of whether you're there for it or not.
Sure.
You've just done it rather quickly.
Um, yeah.
Look, have I done something to disappoint you? Oh, no.
I mean, because if I have, I'm sorry.
I don't know exactly what I could've done differently.
To be honest, it's hard, this whole parenting thing.
You know being responsible, what with the Zompocalypse and everything.
Whatever.
You look a little different yourself.
Oh, yeah.
I'm cured.
Was there something wrong? - No, no, no, no.
Not like that.
- No.
No, it's okay.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I didn't mean that Relax.
Honestly, I I just don't feel anything with you.
I understand.
Yeah.
- But I think that if - But you Lucy.
Something's wrong, isn't it? Yeah.
Addy? I didn't want to leave her.
She told me to go.
She said she'd find me.
We were headed to a refugee camp.
Everyone's going to Newmerica.
Okay.
We should get to that camp.
She'll come look for us there.
[WHISPERING.]
Okay.
[ENGINE STARTING.]
[ENGINE RUNNING.]
I've seen some bad things, man.
Things I couldn't explain.
But this one Maybe they got tired of waiting and just left.
Well, why not take all the gear, the weapons, and supplies? It makes no damn sense.
We're not doing ourselves any favors wasting time trying to figure it out.
We need to be proactive.
What do you suggest? Pick up and head north.
The sooner the better.
Well, we will, soon as my friend gets back.
I know where he's headed.
He's going back to their tent.
I was there.
He's not gonna find her.
He's gonna find whatever it was that ripped her face off and ate her soul.
I've been doing this long enough to know when a situation is no longer compatible with survival.
What makes you think that whatever cleared this place out won't be coming back? Hey, I understand.
And if you need to leave, I'm not gonna stop you.
But I'm staying.
Look, man.
I had one mission.
Keep everyone in this camp alive.
Now there's four of us.
I'll be damned if I'll let you kill yourselves on my watch.
[GRAVEL CRACKLING.]
Identify yourselves! Doc?! Warren? Warren! [LAUGHING.]
What the hell, chief? I'm digging the hair.
You like? Apocalyptic blonde.
- [LAUGHING.]
Right on.
- [LAUGHING.]
Hey, Lucy.
MURPHY: What's up, Doc? Thanks, man.
You're the first person on the mainland who's been half happy to see me.
What do you mean? Oh, yeah.
Well, you reap what you spawn, brother.
[LAUGHING.]
Ain't that the truth.
[LAUGHING.]
I'm Lieutenant Mueller.
And this is Sergeant Lilly.
Sergeant Lilly? - It's got a nice ring to it.
- Sarge will do, hippy.
Sergeant.
I'm Lieutenant Warren.
Ex National Guard.
This is Murphy.
Ex human.
We all go way back.
I hate to cut this lovefest short, but we've got some decisions to make.
To bring you up to speed, we left a group of survivors here a few hours ago to intercept a convoy that was overdue.
We found it abandoned, were ambushed, and lost a good man.
I'm sorry to hear that.
When we returned, we found the camp abandoned.
Everybody gone.
Any sign of a fight? No.
Just gone.
Including Red and Sun Mei.
- They're both alive? - Yeah.
Last time I saw them.
- 10K? - Yeah, 10K's with us.
He's out there now looking for Red and the others.
We gotta get on the move while there's still daylight.
Whatever's out there that got your friends will most surely be out there when the sun sets.
Yeah, well, 10K's still out there.
I understand your concern, but I can't risk these vehicles, supplies, and all of our lives for one individual.
You know he's coming back, chief.
You know he is.
If she's out there, he'll find her.
We'll wait till morning.
That's a mistake.
Wouldn't be my first.

[MUFFLED SCREAMING.]
What's she staring at? That's complicated.
If she's looking for your friend she's looking the wrong way.
He went south.
She's looking east.
Well, maybe she's not looking for him.
So what was it like over there? Zona? Hell of a lot better than our current situation.
Why'd you leave? Like I said, it's complicated.
Try me.
I'm a good listener.
Something about The Reset.
- You ever hear of that? - Nope.
Sounds like a good idea though.
Hmmm.
All I know is that for two full years it was like Club Med.
Except for free.
And then one day, a guy gets cracked over the head with a four-iron and then Well, none of that matters anymore.
Now it's about getting all of you to Newmerica.
Yeah, about this Newmerica thing.
Why are we all going there again? It's the only place to go.
Actual civilization.
Fortified.
They have food, munitions, a growing society.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That sounds familiar.
What do you mean by that? I mean I have heard that a hundred times before.
And every time we'd get there, it's some utopian cult freakshow blah blah blah.
And then by the time we leave, it's on fire.
No one said anything about utopia.
It's a functioning outpost.
That's it.
- But it's all we've got.
- Yeah, well, whatever it is, it can't be better than where we just left.
Maybe it's more real.
Hey.
How's she doing? She's sleeping.
Doesn't much feel like talking.
So, how do you feel about this whole Newmerica thing? Oh, I'm all for it.
I'm all for any place that's not here.
I just don't know how we're gonna get to Canada without that convoy.
Wait, hold up.
This thing's in Canada? Roger that.
We are headed for the Yukon.
Whoa, nobody said anything about freaking Canada.
- You got a problem with Canada? - Yeah.
I do.
It's far.
And cold.
I don't think you got much of a choice.
Well, hey.
Welcome back to the Apocalypse.
So what's the deal with these jugheads? No, jarheads.
- Whatever.
- No, they're okay.
We've been through some shit together.
Yeah, well, I've been led blindly by enough military intelligence to know it's an oxymoron.
And what's the deal with this Newmerica crap? - Are you buying it? - Well, what choice do we have? I could think of a few.
Look, Murphy, I know you've been living like the Pope of Zombietown for the past two years.
But it's slim pickings out here in the cheap seats.
What, so we follow them just 'cause they're the only game in town? Well, yeah.
Why do I feel like we've been down this road before? Because we have.
Man, you are not cheering me up.
What's up with Warren? Is she like herself or what? It's hard to say.
I mean she's all there, but it seems like there's more there there than there used to be.
You know what I'm saying? Not really.

I'm alive.
[WHISPERING.]
Come find me.
[WHISPERING.]
Help me.
[MUFFLED YELLING.]
Tommy! [MUFFLED YELLING.]
Look out! [GROWLING.]
[GLASS SHATTERING.]
[GROANING.]
- [GROWLING.]
- [LEAVES RUSTLING.]
- What the hell was that? - What? - You didn't hear that? - I didn't hear anything.
Did you? Listen.
Where did it come from? Over there.
Or Or maybe over there.
Or there.
- [GROWLING.]
- [LEAVES RUSTLING.]
Over there! - [GROWLING CONTINUES.]
- [LEAVES RUSTLING CONTINUES.]
- I heard that.
- I heard that too! - [GROWLING.]
- [LEAVES RUSTLING.]
Something's out there.
Watching us.
Waiting for us.
Maybe it's one of them mad Zs.
The kinds that won't go down.
Wait, what are you talking about? You haven't seen one? - Nope.
- You're lucky.
One of my men, he went down during the fire fight.
We had to mercy him.
Head shot.
And still, he came back.
I heard rumors about unkillable Zs.
The virus mutating.
But I never thought they were real.
You start to wonder if something's happening out there.
Something that can't be stopped.
Some fresh hell we've brought upon ourselves.
Could explain what happened here.
It's enough to make you want to run into the abyss.
Death by Apocalypse.
Yeah, well, maybe we should do something about it.
You know, before it's too late.
We should've left hours ago, but we're waiting for your boy.
Our boy saved your ass back there.
Did you forget about that? Not personal, bud.
I feel you.
We've all lost people.
We got to be smart and move.
In my experience, people who wait too long, they're dead.

- [TREES CRACKING.]
[WHOOSH.]
[LIQUID POURING.]
[SLURPING.]
Mmm.
We got to get out of here.
We're not going anywhere until Warren says so.
- Ain't that right, Murphy? - Huh? Ain't that right, Murphy? Yeah.
That's right.
What he said, she said.
Well, I'm not staying put while whatever's out there prepares to dine on my innards.
I'd rather die on my feet than on my ass.
Are you sure those are the only options? Sergeant, you're coming with me.
What are you doing? You're just gonna leave us here stranded? We're safer if we stick together.
If your friend's out there, we'll find him and bring him back.
We'll just see what Warren has to say about that.
I don't know what's going on with Lieutenant Warren.
Be alert.
We'll be back shortly.
If he's out there, we'll get him.
Sergeant! Never get out of the boat.
[RUMBLING.]
WARREN: Go east.
Always east.
Always east.
Follow the signs.
Follow the rainbow.
The rising sun.
You know the way.
It burns.
It burns.
[SCREAMING.]
- It burns.
- [SCREAMING CONTINUES.]
- [WOW.]
- [GASPING.]
[WHISPERING.]
Sorry.
Are you okay? Hey.
I brought you some water.
- What happened? - You passed out.
I got to quit doing that.
Last time it happened, I lost two years.
Really is good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Not sure what the hell we're doing here.
We're waiting for 10K.
I still can't believe you're alive.
Well, I guess I can believe it.
- Should've never doubted it.
- [LAUGHING.]
Tell you what, you didn't miss much.
The last two years was like one long root canal.
Meanwhile, you guys Was life really that sweet in Zona? I don't know, Doc.
I slept through the party.
Yeah, I feel that way about 60's and the 70's and 80's.
Most of the 90's.
[LAUGHING.]
Well, chief, I hate to sound like a broken record.
But I still keep wondering if it's worth it.
- If what's worth it? - I don't know.
You know, all the caring for each other, relying on each other, trying to stay positive, and keep the faith in the midst of this Apocalyptic shitstorm.
You know what I mean? All too well.
Well, is it worth it? Of course it is.
It's all we got.
Yeah, I mean I know.
I know.
But, really, is it really worth it? Yes.
All right.
I guess I just needed to hear that from you.
I'm gonna shut up now.
You get some rest.
- [WHISPERING.]
Okay.
- [WHISPERING.]
Okay.
Good night.
- [WINGS FLAPPING.]
- [BIRDS CHIRPING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
Sergeant? - [GROWLING.]
- [TREES CRACKING.]
Explain the mentality to me.
You know, creepy, threatening sounds coming from the deep, dark, zombie infested woods.
So hey, let's go follow it.
I mean, what sense does that make? Rarely am I wrong, and yet rarely am I listened to.
If people just did what I told them to, they'd be better off.
Go ahead.
Roll your eyes.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
Good to see you, Lucy.
Hey, Lucy.
What happened to Addy? - Did she make it? - Yeah, she made it.
I knew it.
She was shot.
In the face.
Wha Is she all right? It was a sniper.
Sniper? When? A few hours ago.
- [WHISPERING.]
10K.
- What? Nothing.
We need to go find her.
She said don't wait.
That we should stick together and she'd meet us in Newmerica.
She'll find me.
What do you think happened to them refugees? I think Lieutenant Buzzcut was right.
I think they realized no help was coming and got the hell out of here.
[CREAKING.]
[CLATTERING.]
[SOUNDS OF A STRUGGLE.]
[STRUGGLING.]
[THUD.]
[THUD.]
Wait a minute! Wait a second! I know this guy.
- What? - I know him.
Who the hell is it? That's Burgess.
He's one of the refugees.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, it's Doc, your friend.
Look, man, you're safe now.
Burgess, what the hell happened to everyone? Can you answer me, man? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Where did everybody go? Burgess? Here.
Listen to me.
I need to know what happened here.
Where did everybody go? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Come on, Burgess! You got to help us out, man.
Are we safe? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
What? You were expecting a different answer? So, what you saw was it alive? Or was it something else? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
All right, man.
Hey, hey.
Okay.
Breathe.
Breathe.
[FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Okay.
Now hear me.
I need you to pull yourself together.
I need your help.
Our friends are out there, and we need to know what we're up against.
[FRANTIC BREATHING.]
He's zombie ga-ga.
I've seen it a million times.
[WHISPERING.]
Get outside.
[FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Whatever happened, it traumatized that poor soul.
Yeah, I don't think we're gonna get much out of him.
We need to consider our options.
There's only four of us.
We can get in that truck and get the hell out of here right now.
- Well, what about 10K? - What about him, Doc? I mean, for all we know, he found Red and he's headed back to his hideout right now.
He left you here without considering what might happen to you.
He could be home.
He could be zombie-chow.
Either way, we can't stick around here to find out.
Yeah, we can! We can't go anywhere right now.
10K and the soldiers are out there.
You're better off with them.
At least here you have supplies.
What do you mean, "you're" better off with them? Are you not coming with us? Hang tight.
I'll find you.

[FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Okay.
Let's do it this way.
Blink once for yes, twice for no.
Can you do that for me, Burgess? All right, now we're getting somewhere.
Did you see what it was that came into the camp? Okay.
Did you hear it? Were you in the tent alone? This is a medical tent.
Was it Sun Mei.
This was her spot.
You said you weren't alone.
Was the doctor in here with you? So you did see her? Did you see what happened to her? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Come on, Burgess.
Did you see what happened to her? Tell me! Did you see what happened to her? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
[YELLING.]

What the hell? Hey, Warren! What are you doing?! Chief! Where are you going?! She's going east.
I thought Newmerica was north.
Well, that's what I thought.
No, she's going the wrong way.
Right? Hey! Hey! Wait! Where you going now?! Do you think she even realizes she's going the wrong way? Not in her mind.
Oh, not you.
Great.
Wait! Why are you going now?! Well, you know me.
I don't like it when we split up I'm going with them.

Well, why not take all the gear, the weapons, and supplies? It makes no damn sense.
We're not doing ourselves any favors wasting time trying to figure it out.
We need to be proactive.
What do you suggest? Pick up and head north.

Well, we will, soon as my friend gets back.

Something about The Reset.
- You ever hear of that? - Nope.
Sounds like a good idea though.
Hmmm.
All I know is that for two full years it was like Club Med.
Except for free.
And then one day, a guy gets cracked over the head with a four-iron and then Well, none of that matters anymore.
Now it's about getting all of you to Newmerica.
Yeah, about this Newmerica thing.
Why are we all going there again? It's the only place to go.
Actual civilization.
Fortified.
They have food, munitions, a growing society.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That sounds familiar.
What do you mean by that? I mean I have heard that a hundred times before.
And every time we'd get there, it's some utopian cult freakshow blah blah blah.
And then by the time we leave, it's on fire.
No one said anything about utopia.
It's a functioning outpost.
That's it.
- But it's all we've got.
- Yeah, well, whatever it is, it can't be better than where we just left.
Maybe it's more real.
Hey.
How's she doing? She's sleeping.
Doesn't much feel like talking.
So, how do you feel about this whole Newmerica thing? Oh, I'm all for it.
I'm all for any place that's not here.
I just don't know how we're gonna get to Canada without that convoy.
Wait, hold up.
This thing's in Canada? Roger that.
We are headed for the Yukon.
Whoa, nobody said anything about freaking Canada.
- You got a problem with Canada? - Yeah.
I do.
It's far.
And cold.
I don't think you got much of a choice.
Well, hey.
Welcome back to the Apocalypse.
So what's the deal with these jugheads? No, jarheads.
- Whatever.
- No, they're okay.
We've been through some shit together.
Yeah, well, I've been led blindly by enough military intelligence to know it's an oxymoron.
And what's the deal with this Newmerica crap? - Are you buying it? - Well, what choice do we have? I could think of a few.
Look, Murphy, I know you've been living like the Pope of Zombietown for the past two years.
But it's slim pickings out here in the cheap seats.
What, so we follow them just 'cause they're the only game in town? Well, yeah.
Why do I feel like we've been down this road before? Because we have.
Man, you are not cheering me up.
What's up with Warren? Is she like herself or what? It's hard to say.
I mean she's all there, but it seems like there's more there there than there used to be.
You know what I'm saying? Not really.

- What the hell was that? - What? - You didn't hear that? - I didn't hear anything.
Did you? Listen.
Where did it come from? Over there.
Or Or maybe over there.
Or there.
- [GROWLING.]
- [LEAVES RUSTLING.]
Over there! - [GROWLING CONTINUES.]
- [LEAVES RUSTLING CONTINUES.]
- I heard that.
- I heard that too! - [GROWLING.]
- [LEAVES RUSTLING.]
Something's out there.
Watching us.
Waiting for us.
Maybe it's one of them mad Zs.
The kinds that won't go down.
Wait, what are you talking about? You haven't seen one? - Nope.
- You're lucky.
One of my men, he went down during the fire fight.
We had to mercy him.
Head shot.
And still, he came back.
I heard rumors about unkillable Zs.
The virus mutating.
But I never thought they were real.
You start to wonder if something's happening out there.
Something that can't be stopped.
Some fresh hell we've brought upon ourselves.
Could explain what happened here.
It's enough to make you want to run into the abyss.
Death by Apocalypse.
Yeah, well, maybe we should do something about it.
You know, before it's too late.
We should've left hours ago, but we're waiting for your boy.
Our boy saved your ass back there.
Did you forget about that? Not personal, bud.
I feel you.
We've all lost people.
We got to be smart and move.
In my experience, people who wait too long, they're dead.

Mmm.
We got to get out of here.
We're not going anywhere until Warren says so.
- Ain't that right, Murphy? - Huh? Ain't that right, Murphy? Yeah.
That's right.
What he said, she said.
Well, I'm not staying put while whatever's out there prepares to dine on my innards.
I'd rather die on my feet than on my ass.
Are you sure those are the only options? Sergeant, you're coming with me.
What are you doing? You're just gonna leave us here stranded? We're safer if we stick together.
If your friend's out there, we'll find him and bring him back.
We'll just see what Warren has to say about that.
I don't know what's going on with Lieutenant Warren.
Be alert.
We'll be back shortly.
If he's out there, we'll get him.
Sergeant! Never get out of the boat.
[RUMBLING.]
WARREN: Go east.
Always east.
Always east.
Follow the signs.
Follow the rainbow.
The rising sun.
You know the way.
It burns.
It burns.
[SCREAMING.]
- It burns.
- [SCREAMING CONTINUES.]
- [WOW.]
- [GASPING.]
[WHISPERING.]
Sorry.
Are you okay? Hey.
I brought you some water.
- What happened? - You passed out.
I got to quit doing that.
Last time it happened, I lost two years.
Really is good to see you.
Good to see you too.
Not sure what the hell we're doing here.
We're waiting for 10K.
I still can't believe you're alive.
Well, I guess I can believe it.
- Should've never doubted it.
- [LAUGHING.]
Tell you what, you didn't miss much.
The last two years was like one long root canal.
Meanwhile, you guys Was life really that sweet in Zona? I don't know, Doc.
I slept through the party.
Yeah, I feel that way about 60's and the 70's and 80's.
Most of the 90's.
[LAUGHING.]
Well, chief, I hate to sound like a broken record.
But I still keep wondering if it's worth it.
- If what's worth it? - I don't know.
You know, all the caring for each other, relying on each other, trying to stay positive, and keep the faith in the midst of this Apocalyptic shitstorm.
You know what I mean? All too well.
Well, is it worth it? Of course it is.
It's all we got.
Yeah, I mean I know.
I know.
But, really, is it really worth it? Yes.
All right.
I guess I just needed to hear that from you.
I'm gonna shut up now.
You get some rest.
- [WHISPERING.]
Okay.
- [WHISPERING.]
Okay.
Good night.

Sergeant? - [GROWLING.]
- [TREES CRACKING.]
Explain the mentality to me.
You know, creepy, threatening sounds coming from the deep, dark, zombie infested woods.
So hey, let's go follow it.
I mean, what sense does that make? Rarely am I wrong, and yet rarely am I listened to.
If people just did what I told them to, they'd be better off.
Go ahead.
Roll your eyes.
- Hey, guys.
- Hey.
Good to see you, Lucy.
Hey, Lucy.
What happened to Addy? - Did she make it? - Yeah, she made it.
I knew it.
She was shot.
In the face.
Wha Is she all right? It was a sniper.
Sniper? When? A few hours ago.
- [WHISPERING.]
10K.
- What? Nothing.
We need to go find her.
She said don't wait.
That we should stick together and she'd meet us in Newmerica.
She'll find me.
What do you think happened to them refugees? I think Lieutenant Buzzcut was right.
I think they realized no help was coming and got the hell out of here.

Wait a minute! Wait a second! I know this guy.
- What? - I know him.
Who the hell is it? That's Burgess.
He's one of the refugees.
Hey, buddy.
Hey, it's Doc, your friend.
Look, man, you're safe now.
Burgess, what the hell happened to everyone? Can you answer me, man? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Where did everybody go? Burgess? Here.
Listen to me.
I need to know what happened here.
Where did everybody go? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Come on, Burgess! You got to help us out, man.
Are we safe? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
What? You were expecting a different answer? So, what you saw was it alive? Or was it something else? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
All right, man.
Hey, hey.
Okay.
Breathe.
Breathe.
[FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Okay.
Now hear me.
I need you to pull yourself together.
I need your help.
Our friends are out there, and we need to know what we're up against.
[FRANTIC BREATHING.]
He's zombie ga-ga.
I've seen it a million times.
[WHISPERING.]
Get outside.
[FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Whatever happened, it traumatized that poor soul.
Yeah, I don't think we're gonna get much out of him.
We need to consider our options.
There's only four of us.
We can get in that truck and get the hell out of here right now.
- Well, what about 10K? - What about him, Doc? I mean, for all we know, he found Red and he's headed back to his hideout right now.
He left you here without considering what might happen to you.
He could be home.
He could be zombie-chow.
Either way, we can't stick around here to find out.
Yeah, we can! We can't go anywhere right now.
10K and the soldiers are out there.
You're better off with them.
At least here you have supplies.
What do you mean, "you're" better off with them? Are you not coming with us? Hang tight.
I'll find you.

Let's do it this way.
Blink once for yes, twice for no.
Can you do that for me, Burgess? All right, now we're getting somewhere.
Did you see what it was that came into the camp? Okay.
Did you hear it? Were you in the tent alone? This is a medical tent.
Was it Sun Mei.
This was her spot.
You said you weren't alone.
Was the doctor in here with you? So you did see her? Did you see what happened to her? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]
Come on, Burgess.
Did you see what happened to her? Tell me! Did you see what happened to her? [FRANTIC BREATHING.]

We'll meet up with the other convoys and join them to Newmerica.
What the hell? Hey, Warren! What are you doing?! Chief! Where are you going?! She's going east.
I thought Newmerica was north.
Well, that's what I thought.
No, she's going the wrong way.
Right? Hey! Hey! Wait! Where you going now?! Do you think she even realizes she's going the wrong way? Not in her mind.
Oh, not you.
Great.
Wait! Why are you going now?! Well, you know me.
I don't like it when we split up I'm going with them.
