Z Nation

Previously, on Z Nation

I call it the Z Whacker.

Look, I just don't trust Murphy, okay?

There's something wrong with that dude.

What if it's true?

What if Murphy's who they say he is

and there's a chance for a vaccine?

Cuz that's hope, Mack.

It's not hope. It's a lie, and it's gonna get us both killed.

Well then I'd rather die believing in a lie

than live believing in nothing.

I'm so tired I could sleep for a thousand years.

Let's just camp here, yeah?

We should get moving.

Why can't we stay here?

We're probably two days out from the rendezvous. Maybe three.

This may be our last chance to sync up with the others.

Yeah well I hope Z gets it right this time.

Well we went

south.

They went west.

Hopefully we'll hook up somewhere in the middle.

We got to angle west.

West is that way. California's that way.

If it's still there.

Well if we can power up somewhere

I can try to get in touch with Z.

See if maybe I can get an update on their location.

I sorta envy that dude.

So far away from all this.

Yeah, and all alone.

We're gonna go west.

We're gonna meet up with the team.

We're gonna get Murphy to that lab,

and then we are going to cure this virus.

That's a lot of stuff we're doing.

It sure is.

What about some of the things we aren't doing?

What do you mean?

Like talking, for starters.

Lately it seems like you can't even look at me.

Like right now.

Addy,

what's going on?

I told you, Mack. I'm working through it, okay?

It's a big knot that

I'm just not sure I want to untie right now.

Not everything is about you.

It's really beautiful. Can we just stay here please?

Beauty attracts trouble.

You should know that.

Okay.

We should've stayed at the... at the creek.

Thought we'd get farther on the gas. That's on me. All right?

Addy, what are you looking at?

You okay?

Addy?

You okay?

Hmmm?

What?

It's like you go somewhere.

I mean what is it you see exactly?

Mack, I'm too tired for this.

Addy.

Mack.

We need to talk about when you drift off like this.

I mean obviously something is tearing you up.

I might be able to help if I knew what you were dealing with,

but you keep shutting me out.

Okay.

Okay.

It's a memory, I think.

I don't know what triggers it,

but whenever it happens it's like...

it's like I go somewhere where I've been.

And when I try to remember, it just

it gets further and further away.

What do you see?

It's the same thing. It's over and over again.

It's dark.

There's... there's like a light.

And then a Z.

Like a really bad one.

And it's fighting.

Who's it fighting?

I don't know.

Maybe you.

Me, huh?

Yeah, I can never make that part out. But

the Z will not die.

Can we... I'm sorry, can we talk about something else?

Okay.

Sure, babe.

What would you like to talk about?

We're not talking about me. Talk about you.

This is probably gonna be a short conversation.

I'll keep it going with questions.

Ummm, okay. What...

If you could do anything, what would you do right now?

Besides the obvious. What would you do?

I'll tell you exactly what I would do.

I would

take you out

to a great restaurant.

The best in town.

I mean dress up.

Shower.

Whole package, the whole deal.

I would open the doors for you. I would pull out your chair.

We'd order some wine.

Have a great meal.

Order some more wine.

And then I would just...

I would just stare into your beautiful eyes all night

and listen to you talk about yourself.

Then we'd go back to our fabulous pad and...

We never stood a chance, Mack.

Whoa.

Whoa.

Hold on.

What are you saying to me?

Think about it, like

our relationship. What's it based on?

Do we even have anything in common?

We're alive.

How's that for starters?

Yeah, but that's about it.

We met on the first night of the outbreak.

We don't even know each other.

All we know is zombies and mayhem.

Addy, we've kept each other alive.

I mean no matter how bad it's gotten,

we've been there for each other.

That's so much more of a bond than any ring could give us.

Yeah, but...

we're trauma bonded.

We kill together,

we survive together, and

we have sex together.

But that's it. That's all we have.

Yeah, we met on night one.

And I don't even remember that night really. Like

for me it's just one blur of...

Okay.

Madness.

Yeah, yeah. I mean

that was bad, and and

we got a lot of bad shit to go through

before this is all over. But Addy,

I need you. I don't know what you're talking about, we...

we never had a chance. What do you mean by that?

I mean, babe, in three years

we have never thought about anything past tomorrow.

You know until this

crazy mission came about, which you know is

probably done as far as we're concerned.

That doesn't mean we're done.

Yeah, but who are we kidding? What...

what kind of future do you and I have?

What are we gonna do?

We gonna get married? Have some kids?

You can't even think about that stuff.

It's crazy. It's impossible.

We have each other.

We've never been on a date.

No?

That's not gonna cut it.

Okay.

Stop.

Addison.

Do you have a middle name?

Yeah, I got a middle name.

What is it?

It's Grace.

Of course it is.

Addison Grace Carver, will you go out with me?

On a date?

Mack. I promise we won't kill a thing.

Okay. Shhh. You know what...

You just sit here and look pretty. Don't go anywhere.

Where am I gonna go?

All right, Addy. You wanted a date? Here is our first date.

No.

Addy?

Addy?

All right, that's fine. You go ahead and get your sleep.

It's been a long apocalypse.

Mack!

Addy?

Addy?

Mack!

Addy?

Addy, you in here?

Addy?

What the hell?

Are those bites?

What bites a zombie?

Addy.

Addy?

Please tell me you did a hit and run on this bastard!
