F***.

Come on, Dad.

Do you have kids, sir?

Do you know where they are?

I do,

and I can assure you,

I intend to see them very soon.

That's not gonna cut it.

We're gonna need

a little bit more than that...

You gotta tell us the truth!

Tell us what's really going...

Dad?

Dad! What... what the f***, man?

Don't...

Please don't do this again!

It's me. It's your son.

It's Damon!

Ain't you had enough

of that sh*t?

Dad.

Put the bottle down.

What the f***?

Dad!

No!

Dad!

No, Dad! No!

I don't know

about your little angels...

Carly?

...but mine steals from me

every chance she gets.

Well, look at you.

Look at you.

- Two kids.

- I know. Ugh, hard to believe.

And you have

- none?

- Can't wrap my head around it.

Look, you either die single,

or you live long enough

to see yourself become a clich.

Stupid.

Ugh. So it's the best, huh?

It is, but they need you less

and less...

and...

that's sort of

why I'm here today.

Remember how you said

if ever I want to get back in...

Oh, Kendall, that was, what,

like, 15 years ago?

Uh, yeah,

that's the "ever" part.

Look,

Kendall, you are always

a rock star to me,

but this isn't something you can

just jump back into.

I get it. You're going crazy,

kids.

Crazy? Wow.

Maybe take some classes.

- Classes?

- Yeah. Something fun.

Tell me.

Oh, my God.

Are you sure?

Okay, okay.

I'll meet you at the hospital.

Yep.

God damn it!

Yeah,

like he's gonna stop.

I don't know. We're supposed

to be in class, aren't we?

World War Z just broke out

at our school. I'm pretty sure

nobody's gonna care

that we left early.

Where's the remote? We gotta

find out what's going on.

Yo, sh*t was

f***ing retarded.

Oh, man. I need to light up.

What we had prayed...

Found it.

...was an isolated incident

is apparently far from it,

as multiple reports

are now coming in

of similar attacks

across the country.

We can hardly believe

what we are reporting to you

based on the videos

that are flooding in,

and we want to warn you,

this footage is very graphic.

F***ing needed that.

- Hey, you want a drink, b*tch?

- Yeah.

I mean, f*** no!

Dude, get in here!

But what we know is this.

- What the f***?

- Multiple incidents

are being reported

of parents attacking...

and, in many cases,

murdering their own children.

Riley!

Mom?

Are you okay?

I spilled my drink.

I'm sure

many viewers are unfamiliar

with a phenomenon

known as "savaging."

It's actually somewhat common

in the animal kingdom.

For instance,

in a domestic pig population,

as anyone involved in raising

livestock will tell you...

Excuse me.

You are talking about pigs?

There are children dying,

and you're talking about pigs.
