Survival of the Dead

The last time anyone counted,

53 million people

were dying every year.

150 thousand every day

and 107 every minute.

That was in normal times.

Now, every one of those dead

gets up and kills another person,

and every one of those gets

up and kills

on top of that, suicide,

murder, chaos and us ...

the guard ....

we added more than out fair

share to the body count, but ...

... it didn't do any good

Bring a stretcher over here.

Move it.

the dead were coming back to life.

We should have been afraid

of them. But we weren't.

They were easy enough to

kill, except when they were ...

... your buddies.

It's time.

You sent us to that hell hole.

You got D.J. killed and

now he's got to get killed again.

You f***ed up, Lou.

You can't make it right,

but you can do the right thing

I can't.

Don't. Don't.

So there.

- can I get some backup up here?

- This sucks.

We got shots fired.

I never signed up for this sh*t.

We're better off on our own.

What the hell's going on?

Whos down?

We went AWOL right around the

same time the rest of the world did.

We became stick up guys.

Stopping people on the road ...

- Hi there.

- ... taking whatever they had.

- Is it nice to see you guys.

- We held up this bunch of

kids in a Winnebago...

...shooting a documentary

about themselves.

- What's with the camera?

- Just making a movie.

Oh, that so.

F***ing movie went out on the net.

- Millions of hits.

- Where did you get all the stuff?

I became notorious ...

- ... could of got an agent.

- Mind turning that off son.

Made a fortune if there

was anyone left to care.

Turn it the f*** off!

It had become an

us against them world ...

- Now.

- ... all we were looking for

was a place where there was no...

... "them."

Well, that's another one we

don't have to worry about.

Amen.

I would like it if you just say

an Amen to put an end to all this.

I'd like it too, Captain. I would

Are you all with me then?

- Aye, Aye

- Yes, Captain.

Damn right.

I'm asking.

Are all of you with me?

You're being too strict,

just as you always been.

Being strict is a father's burden.

More like a daughter's burden,

if you ask me.

What if I die?

Would you be strict enough to

gun one of your own?

- What if you die?

- Don't get your hopes up.

No, I mean it what if you die

and get up and walk?

Would any of us be strict

enough to gun you down?

You won't have to

I'll shoot myself.

You might change your view of things.

Dying don't change a person's view's

all a dead man can do is

remember what he used to be

and keep on trying to be the same.

On to the next.

We weren't there

in the beginning

We heard about what

happened afterwards.

This old coot Patrick O'Flynn

decided that the living would be

better off if the dead stayed dead.

Put a posse together and went around

the island trying to clean things up.

Not everybody was on his side.

Let's go.

Law enforcement advises that

if anyone is forced to defend

themselves against attack

Make every effort to incapicitate

the attackers brain

Any news from town?

No.

I'm just gonna sit and wait awhile.

For what, a miracle?

Been known to happen,

if you believe what the book says.

Are they all settled in up there?

All settled in.

No commotions?

None that I've heard.

Patrick O'Flynn.

Matthew Muldoon.

I know we're conserving, but ...

Where are your children?

Upstairs.

They're in bed.

It came to me that one of them had

an accident a couple of days ago.

Yeah the girl fell off her bike, so ...

And the boy?

- Went to help her and...

- Got hit by a car didn't he?

Is the boy all

right Matthew or not?

I believe whatever you tell me.

- He's ah ...

- Maybe I should go upstairs

and look for myself.

Don't you go up there.

Beth, I have to do this.

You don't have to do this

you enjoy doing it.

No, I promise you that

I don't want to go upstairs.

I don't want to see

what your boys become.

He ain't become nothing.

He is still just and only my boy.

Don't do it Beth!

Beth!

Oh, my God.

You damn stupid fool.

You might have stopped this.

- How?

- By telling me the truth.

What you wanna do with her now?

Take her upstairs and put her to bed?

No, I'll do what I have to do.

If you'll just give me the means.

It's both of them.

I'll do it, I will

But I'd give my soul if someone

will step up and do it for me.

No ones going to help you.

Not this time, not children.

There's been enough

killing for one day

You boys must not have heard me.

I said there's

been enough killing.

You have us out numbered the way

the Muldoons have outnumbered the

O'Flynns from the beginning

Now, listen to me Seamus.

Plum's always been a safe place

where a man can

live a pride for life.

We can keep it that way

but only if we do

what we have to do.

Killing our own kind like

they didn't belong to us.

Putting the dead to sleep,

before they put

all of us to sleep.

I have faith.

The day of Judgement will forgive

me and prove me right.

You're are wrong, Muldoon.

What are you going

to do with them?

Their Muldoons

that's why we need to save them.

You can't save a person

who is already dead.

Maybe theyre not dead.

Maybe they got some kind

of sickness or something.

Somebody's gonna find

a cure for this.

It might take 100 years

but somebody's going to find a cure.

The only families who ever lived on

this island were yours and mine.
