Withered (2025) Movie Script
1
Fucking bitch!
Please!
You don't have to do this!
You don't have to-
Yankees fan, huh?
Fuckin' Yankees suck!
Come on,
what are we doing?
Fuck off, preacher!
We got this!
-It's too much, man!
-We got this!
Fuckin' pussy!
Hey! Gimme that.
Hey.
Thanks for the rifle.
Pathetic.
Bitch!
Richard!
Enough!
End it.
No! No! No No! No!
Please!
Please!
Stay together!
Stay!
Strong.
No. No. No!
-Morning.
-Morning.
What are you doing up?
I couldn't sleep.
Yeah.
Mine wasn't great either.
I mean'
We slept under a log.
Well...
There's nothing I can do
about this, you know?
I know, I just'
I got splinters last night.
Okay, well'
Whenever we shake what's been'
following us, then'
We can probably find some
better places to sleep.
Like a house?
Like a house.
Alright.
Where's the...
dog.
Okay, well...
we can start packin' up,
I guess.
Are we lost?
No.
We're not lost.
Are you sure?
Yes. I'm pretty sure.
I mean...
I've just never seen
this place before
Penny!
We're not lost.
Okay, geez.
We're not lost!
-I didn't even say anything!
-You didn't have to!
Look, we just keep
following this path,
we'll probably
hit the other one.
And then we'll just find
where we need to go.
Are you okay?!
I'm fine!
Man, that was crazy!
I thought you fell into a
freakin' cave or something!
Fuckin' laugh it up.
Wooooo!
Man.
Okay.
I'm lost.
I knew it.
Let's just settle here for the
night okay, it's safe enough.
Alright.
Careful!
You okay?
I'm good!
You're gonna have a
fuckin' asthma attack.
I'm not! I'm good! I'm good.
Few more minutes of this,
then we're gonna turn it off.
Alright.
So, what's the plan?
Since we're kinda... lost.
Honestly... I don't really know.
I mean'
We've already searched most
of the towns out here, and'
Can't really get to far
with your'
Yeah, so'
We just need to find
more inhalers, but
until then we'll just'
-Did you hear that?
-Shhhh..!
He was right there'
Crap.
Think they're gone, but
we need to get ready to move.
Are we not gonna talk about
the gunshot?
They're far enough!
What do you think
is happening?
I don't know.
I mean we haven't
heard anything since'
you know'
New survivors?
Has to be.
What do we do?
I don't know. Let's just-
Alex...
Shit, shit, shit, shit.
Is he gone?
Yeah, I think they are.
Fuck.
He's heavy'
Ew...
You okay?
Yeah. I'm good.
I'm- I'm good dude! Come on!
I'm good!
Okay...
Okay, well'
If you're feeling up to it we
could probably head out now.
Why?
All the chompers in the area
are gonna be
heading towards
those gunshots,
so the area will be
pretty clear.
You're so smart!
I know, I know'
Let's go.
Alex'
Fuck! Penny!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
It's okay! It's okay!
Hey, hey hey! Hey!
Here! Tilt your head!
Ready? Ready?
Breathe in!
Hold it! Hold it! Three'
Two'
Breathe out, breathe out.
Another one, ready?
Okay ready?
Breathe in.
Hold it. Hold it.
Breathe out.
You okay?
When did this happen?
I don't know.
You need water?
You okay?
You scared the shit outta me.
Where's the dog?
Mayer?
I dunno.
Mayer!
Mayer!
Shit, I don't know.
Should we go find him?
Come on, let's go.
Leave your shit.
Mayer!
-Mayer!
-Shhhh!
-What?
We're drawing attention
to ourselves.
So how are we gonna find him?
Well, follow the path.
Ohhhh, alright.
Hey, how many more hits
of that inhaler do you have?
I think dad said
there were like 200?
And I've been using it
for a while.
So'
Okay!
That one was really close!
We need to go.
What about Mayer?!
We have to leave him!
-No!
-Come on!
Oh there's my little hero! Hi!
He ran off though.
So?
Okay, well let's just...
Who the hell are you?
Azalea!
Help!
John!!
John, where are you?!
Azalea!!
Help me!
John!
-Help!
-Hold on!
No...
-HELP!
-JOHN!
John
I want you to take
everyone across town
to the supplies outpost
and get everything ready
over there.
And you want me
to take everyone?
Did I stutter?
How long do you
expect to be gone?
However long it
takes to find this guy,
can you do it?
Yeah, I got it.
Good.
Leave in the next couple
of minutes
Monica and I will stay to pack.
Any questions?
Great.
Now get to work.
Say you find him
and kill him?
What makes you
any better than him?
That's what I'm saying!
Just shut up!
Shut the fuck up, John!
Hey you.
Hey!
Hey wait!
Oh there's my little hero! Hi!
He ran off though.
So?
Okay, well let's just...
Who the hell are you?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Okay! Okay!
We don't...
we don't want any trouble.
Neither do I.
Are there any more of you?
No! It's just us.
And... him.
And him.
You all alone?
You are, aren't you?
How the hell?!
Penny!
What? Look at her!
She's all messed up.
I'm sorry, we've...
Don't shoot us. Please.
How old are you two?
I'm 18. She's 14.
I was getting there.
Not a lot of people
around here anymore.
What are you doing here?
I was just passing through.
Saw a biter attacking your dog
so I saved it and
I followed it here.
You saved Mayer?!
You needa quit running off, man.
Thanks.
He's... not good for much, but
he's nice to have around.
You really by yourself then?
Have been for a while.
Where ya headed?
Not really sure.
Well... you can come
with us if you want!
-Penny!
-What?
It's getting more dangerous
everyday
and plus, we could use
the extra help.
If she wants to?
Well she's all fucked up though
I don't know if she can
be that much of a help.
Dude!
She can hear you!
I don't care if she can hear me
we're having a discussion here.
Yeah I can just go,
it's fine.
Wait!
You can come with us
if you'd like to.
Thanks.
I'm Alex by the way.
This is Penny.
Whaddup.
Azalea.
We better get going.
We don't really hear shots
around here anymore, so
the chompers gonna be
on top of us.
Well... come on!
Well, this is us.
Pretty nice, right?
That's one word for it.
I mean, we got the light switch!
It doesn't work.
But! Then we got the window!
It's like... 37 by 26.
And then..!
Shit! Penny, Penny, Penny!
Sit! Sit down!
Here, breathe in, breathe in.
Ready?
Hold it.
Three'
Two'
Breathe out.
You want another one?
I got it'
She'
She has asthma.
It's pretty bad sometimes.
She had a pretty bad fit
earlier today too.
I'm sorry.
Me too. It's our last inhaler.
Is there anywhere else
you can get more?
I mean, there was the hospital
but it burned down, so'
Oh...
We were never really able
to search towns anyway.
Why?
There was a big scary
group that used to be here.
What..?
They rode around in trucks
and had guns and all that.
Why were they scary?
We saw their leader'
'execute someone once.
We opted to stay out of
the way after that.
But even after they were gone,
everything seemed
pretty picked over
from what we've seen anyway.
What are you still doing here?
Trust me, if we had a choice we
wouldn't be here anymore, but
with Penny's asthma
we can't get that far.
If we run into any chompers
out there,
we can't outrun them.
And there's someone
following us.
Following you?
Yeah they only come out at
night during the shadows.
We see'em every
once and a while,
but only when we're hiding.
They're not a tracker
or anything,
but they're pretty consistent,
so'
Until we can find more
inhalers and
get rid of whoever this is'
We have no choice.
Plus, we're scared.
Of the person following you?
No.
That big group
didn't just disappear.
They were killed.
How do you know that?
We saw it.
You'
You saw it?
This dude showed up
and killed everyone.
It was a massacre.
Now I'm only gonna
ask you this once.
Where, are the rest
of your people?!
Fuck you.
Ain't telling you shit.
Fine.
She saw him'
He looked like
a freaking pirate.
Then he just disappeared.
Could be anywhere by now.
John..!
JOHNNN!
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah.
My knee's just throbbing.
What happened to it?
Um...
Some guy took a hammer to it.
Someone else kicked it in.
Ow.
Yeah, just...
Just gimme a second.
Pretty dark out here.
Yeah, helps me think.
The high school.
The what?
Schools usually have a lot of
extra medical supplies
for emergencies,
including inhalers.
I thought it'd be picked
over by now though?
No, it uh'
I passed it on the way here.
Still pretty intact.
It looked like they'd turned it
into some kind of
quarantine zone after outbreak.
And since those zones were
the first to fall
they probably still have
extra inhalers.
And chompers.
Yeah... chompers too.
But I don't see what other
options we have.
We?
Yeah.
I wanna help you.
No offense, but'
I don't know how much help
you're gonna be
with your leg like that.
I can fight.
Plus I know the school.
You know the'
Yeah I went to a different
school in the area
but I came here for
track meets and stuff.
Oh.
So you're from around here?
Guess you could say that.
How about you two?
We come from the western side
of the state,
near the Black Hills.
My dad was a real estate agent,
so we had a pretty nice house
in the Black Hills.
On Outbreak Day'
Our mom turned'
It was a whole thing.
The house caught on fire.
Is that how she...?
Yeah. She doesn't like
to talk about it.
We traveled with our
dad for a while, but'
Now I look after Penny.
We thought that coming
to the center of the state
we'd find less action, but'
We're stuck here now.
We can leave if
we get the inhalers.
Fine'
Fine.
Tomorrow morning, you and
me will go to the school,
grab as many inhalers as we can
find and get out. Okay?
What about Penny?
She can stay here with the dog.
It's secluded
so they'll be fine.
You sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
You should probably head in
and get some rest.
I can take the first watch.
Hey Azalea?
Thanks again for not...
shooting us.
I wanna come with!
No! You just stay here.
It's too dangerous
for you anyway.
Bro, I'mma be here all alone
with no weapons or nothing!
Here. Just in case.
Okay.
The school's as infested
as we think it is
then guns'll just get us killed.
Just... be safe, okay?
Bro, if you die
I'mma be so pissed.
Why would you say that?!
I dunno.
Take care of the dog, okay?
Duh.
Ready?
Let's go.
Come on. There's a back way.
What the fuck?
Come on.
Downstairs?!
Locker room leads straight
to the nurse's office.
You really know this school.
Why are the lights still on?
I don't know. Maybe some kind
of back up generator.
This would be
a good place to stay.
Bet the people who were
holed up here
during the quarantine zones
thought that too.
Where's the nurse's office?
This way.
Help me out!
ROOAAAAAR!!
Never seen
that many before!
I have!
What did you do?!
It's not what I did..!
When I say so..!
Turn around, run..!
Turn right, then keep running!
Bullshit! You go!
They'll tear you apart!
Fine!
What?
Azalea!
John!
Help!
Hold on! I'm coming!
Azalea!
John!
Help!
Help me!
I'm trying!
No, wait! NO!
JOHNNN!
You'
did this.
You did this.
You know what you are.
Hey! You okay?
W-Where are the'
They're gone.
I drawed them off.
Okay... okay'
You've been lying to me.
You know this town too well,
and this school.
You went here, didn't you?
Why would you lie about that?
Lying was easier.
Why?
You know that big scary group
you and Penny were so afraid of?
That was my group.
What?
My brothers were in charge.
They ran a tight ship.
Guess I never really
realized how tight.
And the man that killed them,
his name was'
Doesn't matter'
My brothers, they'
wronged him'
And so he attacked.
And then I was all alone.
He killed my fianc.
My friends...
Your brothers killed my dad.
What..?
Twin brothers, right?
Richard and Shawn.
Two names I'll never forget.
They ambushed us.
Beat the shit outta my dad.
Richard stepped up
and killed him.
No, no, no! NOOOOOOO!
Nooooo!
Richard!
We don't have enough supplies
for everybody.
Kill the girl.
No, no, no, no!
Please! Please! Please!
NO!
What the FUCK
are you doing?!
Leave them alone!
They're just kids!
Isaac, for love of fucking God!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Owen! Get after them!
FUCK!
Took Penny,
and I ran and ran and ran.
We didn't know where to go.
We were scared.
And the first time things
made sense after all that
was when that pirate
killed your group.
I thought...
maybe karma is real.
Maybe people get
what they deserve, but'
since you're here, maybe not.
I'm glad that
your group is dead.
Alex, wait! I didn't know!
Where are you going?!
I'm gonna get the inhalers
and get back to Penny.
Just let me help!
No!
I don't trust you.
I got you here, right?!
But you lied
the entire fucking time!
Because it's something
I want to forget!
Yeah well me too.
Come on!
I was never apart of it!
That was all my brother-
How many?
It's just one'
One??
Holy shit! Mr. Adams?!
Who?!
He's my chemistry teacher!
Get out! Get outta here!
Get out!
Shhhhhit!
No no no please..!
No wait! NO!
Azalea'
Fuck!
What's going on...?
No, no, no, no, no, no'
Who are you?
What?
You don't remember me?
Holy shit'
Isaac'
I thought you were dead!
I thought'
you... were dead.
Wha-what are you doing?
Untie me.
No'
What?
No...
I don't think I will.
What the hell's going on?
How are you even alive?!
Now I'm only gonna
ask you this once.
Where?!
Are the rest of your people?
Fuck you.
Ain't telling you shit.
Fine.
I ran away'
Like I... always do.
Why?
Why didn't you come back
to warn us?
You didn't see what I saw.
He tore through EVERYONE!
I know!
He killed our entire group!
Everyone, just gone!
Of course he did!
And the best part?
Is...
I'm glad... he did.
What?
The only reason I was out there
was because YOUR brother
sent me on a, on a terrible
and dangerous job
because of disagreeing with
him about killing KIDS!
Your brothers were monsters!
And I, I, I, I figured
It was God's way
of making things right!
B-B-By killing them!
And YOU by extension'
But here you are.
So'
What exactly are we doing here?
After'
everything happened'
I stayed around here.
It didn't take me long
to go through the, the, the
supplies that were left behind
I'
was starving!
Dying!
And then..!
I realized something!
I have always been
a man of faith!
No matter what!
God!
God! God has always
been there for me!!
Daniel 12:2 promised
a resurrection of the dead.
And and he delivered!
And he is showing us THE WAY!
The dead eat the flesh
per the will of the Lord!
He's telling us what to do!
He is showing us how to survive!
How to go about the deeds
that he feels fit for us!
And that! That is how
I've survived all this time!
By God's... command.
I eat the flesh of the living.
And you'
Azalea'
Because, because of
your cruel nature
I look forward to ending
this world of you'
One piece
at a time.
Goddammit Isaac!
Just let me go!
I never did anything to you!
NO!
You'
You were selfish!
You ARE selfish!
Self-centered!
Back when we were at the camp
All you could do was
think about yourself!
You risked other people's lives-
MY LIFE to get what you wanted!
How many people had to die, so
you could get what you wanted?
Huh?
HUH?!
Whenever, whenever someone'
whenever someone passes through.
I make sure to make it
quick and painless.
For the lucky souls,
so that they don't suffer.
So they can make it
to God's kingdom'
Quick and easy!
But you'
No matter what I do'
You'
You're going... to Hell!
So'
I suppose it doesn't matter
if I make it quick.
No'
Oh no no no no no
No I'm going to make you suffer!
I'm gonna make you pay
for what you've done!
And in the end, you won't be
able to hurt anybody ever AGAIN!
ENOUGH!
This'
ends...
NOW!
Alex... Penny!
Fuck!
Hey you're back!
We have to go! Now!
Why? Where's Azalea?
He took her!
Who did?!
The guy who's been following us!
He took her and my bag!
Well we have to go back!
We can't Penny!
She's a liar.
What do you mean?
Her brothers are the ones
that killed dad.
And she was a part of the
group the entire time.
And right now that stalker
guy's occupied with her,
so this is our opportunity
to get out of here.
Alex, we can't just
leave her there!
- We have to, Penny!
- No we don't!
- Penny!
- No!
Quit messing around and come on!
She saved Mayer!
and then she went on a
suicide mission for me!
We can't just leave
her there to die!
Her brothers killed dad!
So?!
What do you mean, "So?!"
Did she kill dad?
No.
And hasn't she helped us
the entire time we've met her?
Yeah.
So we're gonna help her.
It's what dad would've wanted.
Fine.
We need the inhalers anyway.
Gimme the gun.
Hell no, man.
She gave this to me!
Penny!
Find your own.
ENOUGH!
This'
ends...
NOW!
Alex... Penny!
Holy shit! I just shot somebody!
Azalea!
Azalea, Azalea!
What are you guys doing here,
I thought you were dead!
Asshole took my bag,
but I got away.
We're here
to rescue you!
What?
Is that a bite?
Uh! He did it!
He fucking what?!
That's weird.
Come on, we need
to get out of here.
Wait!
You three aren't going anywhere!
Isaac...
we are walking out of here now!
NO!
I spent weeks searching
for you two!
And you brought them
right to me!
You're all mine!
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
You were with her brothers,
right?
You tried to save us!
Why are you attacking us now?
Why did you follow us?
Funny! Funny isn't it!
His almighty plan!
I saved you then!
And now, and now your body
and your blood
will save us both!
Isaac!
We are walking out of here
or you're dying!
YOUR CHOICE!
Your soul is black!
Azalea O'Rion!
YOUR SOUL IS BLACK!!!
You guys go.
I got this.
We're not leaving you.
You stay, we stay.
Okay, come on.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Alex..!
Come on...
Please don't tell me
you're gonna die.
I'm not gonna die.
Oh, okay good.
Why did you come back for me?
You saved us.
But your dad'
And I have like seven more
in my backpack.
I don't know what I would've
done in that school without you.
Especially with that 'thing'
attacking us.
Guess karma is real.
Who knows? It's just...
I owed you.
I still owe you.
You... lost your fianc?
John.
His name is John.
I didn't just lose him.
I killed him.
Thought you said the pirate did?
Pirate's name is Bigby.
Bigby Gravsley.
After all that happened,
I went after him.
NO!
Did some things
I'm not proud of.
Killed a lot of people.
I tried to'
I don't know what I thought
I was doing.
Think I was just'
Trying to hide from the truth.
Which is?
John was beaten to death
with a hammer
in that warehouse
we were just in.
No wait! NO!
Not only could I not save him,
not only was I not there
for him, but'
I'm the one that sent him there.
And you want me
to take everyone?
Did I stutter?
I yelled at him.
And I ordered him to go there.
Just shut up!
Shut the fuck up, John!
And then he'
I got him killed.
-JOHN!
-I killed him.
Everything that happened
was all my fault.
And now I'll never get
to hold him again.
Or kiss him.
Or dance or anything.
And the worst part is'
I can never tell him that,
I'm sorry.
Maybe you can.
John'
I don't know what to do anymore.
I can't feel you anymore.
Where'd you go?
I know I did exactly what
you told me not to do.
I killed people.
Got others killed.
But I didn't know
what else to do.
You were right.
You were always right.
I'm sorry.
I should've listened to you.
Maybe if I did'
Maybe you'd still be here.
But'
Like you said'
Can't dwell on that.
Can't change the past.
Can't change what happened.
What I did.
Just gotta keep moving forward.
But I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be
what you wanted me to be.
But I'll try.
I'll try for you.
I love you.
I love you so much.
Despite everything that I did,
I never stopped loving you.
Why can't I feel you anymore?
I'll catch up.
- Hey Azalea?
- Yeah.
Whatever happened
to that pirate guy?
So, start with your
first finger here.
And then just play those.
Yeah, and then move it down...
to here.
Yeah. Now play that.
Yeah, and now go down two more.
No you got it.
John, I-I can't.
Azalea Elizabeth O'Rion.
What's going on?
Stay right there.
You'
What the hell are
you doing here?
I'
I need...
your help.
My help?
What happened to your group?
Your people?
What happened to you?
Fucking bitch!
Please!
You don't have to do this!
You don't have to-
Yankees fan, huh?
Fuckin' Yankees suck!
Come on,
what are we doing?
Fuck off, preacher!
We got this!
-It's too much, man!
-We got this!
Fuckin' pussy!
Hey! Gimme that.
Hey.
Thanks for the rifle.
Pathetic.
Bitch!
Richard!
Enough!
End it.
No! No! No No! No!
Please!
Please!
Stay together!
Stay!
Strong.
No. No. No!
-Morning.
-Morning.
What are you doing up?
I couldn't sleep.
Yeah.
Mine wasn't great either.
I mean'
We slept under a log.
Well...
There's nothing I can do
about this, you know?
I know, I just'
I got splinters last night.
Okay, well'
Whenever we shake what's been'
following us, then'
We can probably find some
better places to sleep.
Like a house?
Like a house.
Alright.
Where's the...
dog.
Okay, well...
we can start packin' up,
I guess.
Are we lost?
No.
We're not lost.
Are you sure?
Yes. I'm pretty sure.
I mean...
I've just never seen
this place before
Penny!
We're not lost.
Okay, geez.
We're not lost!
-I didn't even say anything!
-You didn't have to!
Look, we just keep
following this path,
we'll probably
hit the other one.
And then we'll just find
where we need to go.
Are you okay?!
I'm fine!
Man, that was crazy!
I thought you fell into a
freakin' cave or something!
Fuckin' laugh it up.
Wooooo!
Man.
Okay.
I'm lost.
I knew it.
Let's just settle here for the
night okay, it's safe enough.
Alright.
Careful!
You okay?
I'm good!
You're gonna have a
fuckin' asthma attack.
I'm not! I'm good! I'm good.
Few more minutes of this,
then we're gonna turn it off.
Alright.
So, what's the plan?
Since we're kinda... lost.
Honestly... I don't really know.
I mean'
We've already searched most
of the towns out here, and'
Can't really get to far
with your'
Yeah, so'
We just need to find
more inhalers, but
until then we'll just'
-Did you hear that?
-Shhhh..!
He was right there'
Crap.
Think they're gone, but
we need to get ready to move.
Are we not gonna talk about
the gunshot?
They're far enough!
What do you think
is happening?
I don't know.
I mean we haven't
heard anything since'
you know'
New survivors?
Has to be.
What do we do?
I don't know. Let's just-
Alex...
Shit, shit, shit, shit.
Is he gone?
Yeah, I think they are.
Fuck.
He's heavy'
Ew...
You okay?
Yeah. I'm good.
I'm- I'm good dude! Come on!
I'm good!
Okay...
Okay, well'
If you're feeling up to it we
could probably head out now.
Why?
All the chompers in the area
are gonna be
heading towards
those gunshots,
so the area will be
pretty clear.
You're so smart!
I know, I know'
Let's go.
Alex'
Fuck! Penny!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
It's okay! It's okay!
Hey, hey hey! Hey!
Here! Tilt your head!
Ready? Ready?
Breathe in!
Hold it! Hold it! Three'
Two'
Breathe out, breathe out.
Another one, ready?
Okay ready?
Breathe in.
Hold it. Hold it.
Breathe out.
You okay?
When did this happen?
I don't know.
You need water?
You okay?
You scared the shit outta me.
Where's the dog?
Mayer?
I dunno.
Mayer!
Mayer!
Shit, I don't know.
Should we go find him?
Come on, let's go.
Leave your shit.
Mayer!
-Mayer!
-Shhhh!
-What?
We're drawing attention
to ourselves.
So how are we gonna find him?
Well, follow the path.
Ohhhh, alright.
Hey, how many more hits
of that inhaler do you have?
I think dad said
there were like 200?
And I've been using it
for a while.
So'
Okay!
That one was really close!
We need to go.
What about Mayer?!
We have to leave him!
-No!
-Come on!
Oh there's my little hero! Hi!
He ran off though.
So?
Okay, well let's just...
Who the hell are you?
Azalea!
Help!
John!!
John, where are you?!
Azalea!!
Help me!
John!
-Help!
-Hold on!
No...
-HELP!
-JOHN!
John
I want you to take
everyone across town
to the supplies outpost
and get everything ready
over there.
And you want me
to take everyone?
Did I stutter?
How long do you
expect to be gone?
However long it
takes to find this guy,
can you do it?
Yeah, I got it.
Good.
Leave in the next couple
of minutes
Monica and I will stay to pack.
Any questions?
Great.
Now get to work.
Say you find him
and kill him?
What makes you
any better than him?
That's what I'm saying!
Just shut up!
Shut the fuck up, John!
Hey you.
Hey!
Hey wait!
Oh there's my little hero! Hi!
He ran off though.
So?
Okay, well let's just...
Who the hell are you?
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Okay! Okay!
We don't...
we don't want any trouble.
Neither do I.
Are there any more of you?
No! It's just us.
And... him.
And him.
You all alone?
You are, aren't you?
How the hell?!
Penny!
What? Look at her!
She's all messed up.
I'm sorry, we've...
Don't shoot us. Please.
How old are you two?
I'm 18. She's 14.
I was getting there.
Not a lot of people
around here anymore.
What are you doing here?
I was just passing through.
Saw a biter attacking your dog
so I saved it and
I followed it here.
You saved Mayer?!
You needa quit running off, man.
Thanks.
He's... not good for much, but
he's nice to have around.
You really by yourself then?
Have been for a while.
Where ya headed?
Not really sure.
Well... you can come
with us if you want!
-Penny!
-What?
It's getting more dangerous
everyday
and plus, we could use
the extra help.
If she wants to?
Well she's all fucked up though
I don't know if she can
be that much of a help.
Dude!
She can hear you!
I don't care if she can hear me
we're having a discussion here.
Yeah I can just go,
it's fine.
Wait!
You can come with us
if you'd like to.
Thanks.
I'm Alex by the way.
This is Penny.
Whaddup.
Azalea.
We better get going.
We don't really hear shots
around here anymore, so
the chompers gonna be
on top of us.
Well... come on!
Well, this is us.
Pretty nice, right?
That's one word for it.
I mean, we got the light switch!
It doesn't work.
But! Then we got the window!
It's like... 37 by 26.
And then..!
Shit! Penny, Penny, Penny!
Sit! Sit down!
Here, breathe in, breathe in.
Ready?
Hold it.
Three'
Two'
Breathe out.
You want another one?
I got it'
She'
She has asthma.
It's pretty bad sometimes.
She had a pretty bad fit
earlier today too.
I'm sorry.
Me too. It's our last inhaler.
Is there anywhere else
you can get more?
I mean, there was the hospital
but it burned down, so'
Oh...
We were never really able
to search towns anyway.
Why?
There was a big scary
group that used to be here.
What..?
They rode around in trucks
and had guns and all that.
Why were they scary?
We saw their leader'
'execute someone once.
We opted to stay out of
the way after that.
But even after they were gone,
everything seemed
pretty picked over
from what we've seen anyway.
What are you still doing here?
Trust me, if we had a choice we
wouldn't be here anymore, but
with Penny's asthma
we can't get that far.
If we run into any chompers
out there,
we can't outrun them.
And there's someone
following us.
Following you?
Yeah they only come out at
night during the shadows.
We see'em every
once and a while,
but only when we're hiding.
They're not a tracker
or anything,
but they're pretty consistent,
so'
Until we can find more
inhalers and
get rid of whoever this is'
We have no choice.
Plus, we're scared.
Of the person following you?
No.
That big group
didn't just disappear.
They were killed.
How do you know that?
We saw it.
You'
You saw it?
This dude showed up
and killed everyone.
It was a massacre.
Now I'm only gonna
ask you this once.
Where, are the rest
of your people?!
Fuck you.
Ain't telling you shit.
Fine.
She saw him'
He looked like
a freaking pirate.
Then he just disappeared.
Could be anywhere by now.
John..!
JOHNNN!
Are you okay?
Uh, yeah.
My knee's just throbbing.
What happened to it?
Um...
Some guy took a hammer to it.
Someone else kicked it in.
Ow.
Yeah, just...
Just gimme a second.
Pretty dark out here.
Yeah, helps me think.
The high school.
The what?
Schools usually have a lot of
extra medical supplies
for emergencies,
including inhalers.
I thought it'd be picked
over by now though?
No, it uh'
I passed it on the way here.
Still pretty intact.
It looked like they'd turned it
into some kind of
quarantine zone after outbreak.
And since those zones were
the first to fall
they probably still have
extra inhalers.
And chompers.
Yeah... chompers too.
But I don't see what other
options we have.
We?
Yeah.
I wanna help you.
No offense, but'
I don't know how much help
you're gonna be
with your leg like that.
I can fight.
Plus I know the school.
You know the'
Yeah I went to a different
school in the area
but I came here for
track meets and stuff.
Oh.
So you're from around here?
Guess you could say that.
How about you two?
We come from the western side
of the state,
near the Black Hills.
My dad was a real estate agent,
so we had a pretty nice house
in the Black Hills.
On Outbreak Day'
Our mom turned'
It was a whole thing.
The house caught on fire.
Is that how she...?
Yeah. She doesn't like
to talk about it.
We traveled with our
dad for a while, but'
Now I look after Penny.
We thought that coming
to the center of the state
we'd find less action, but'
We're stuck here now.
We can leave if
we get the inhalers.
Fine'
Fine.
Tomorrow morning, you and
me will go to the school,
grab as many inhalers as we can
find and get out. Okay?
What about Penny?
She can stay here with the dog.
It's secluded
so they'll be fine.
You sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
You should probably head in
and get some rest.
I can take the first watch.
Hey Azalea?
Thanks again for not...
shooting us.
I wanna come with!
No! You just stay here.
It's too dangerous
for you anyway.
Bro, I'mma be here all alone
with no weapons or nothing!
Here. Just in case.
Okay.
The school's as infested
as we think it is
then guns'll just get us killed.
Just... be safe, okay?
Bro, if you die
I'mma be so pissed.
Why would you say that?!
I dunno.
Take care of the dog, okay?
Duh.
Ready?
Let's go.
Come on. There's a back way.
What the fuck?
Come on.
Downstairs?!
Locker room leads straight
to the nurse's office.
You really know this school.
Why are the lights still on?
I don't know. Maybe some kind
of back up generator.
This would be
a good place to stay.
Bet the people who were
holed up here
during the quarantine zones
thought that too.
Where's the nurse's office?
This way.
Help me out!
ROOAAAAAR!!
Never seen
that many before!
I have!
What did you do?!
It's not what I did..!
When I say so..!
Turn around, run..!
Turn right, then keep running!
Bullshit! You go!
They'll tear you apart!
Fine!
What?
Azalea!
John!
Help!
Hold on! I'm coming!
Azalea!
John!
Help!
Help me!
I'm trying!
No, wait! NO!
JOHNNN!
You'
did this.
You did this.
You know what you are.
Hey! You okay?
W-Where are the'
They're gone.
I drawed them off.
Okay... okay'
You've been lying to me.
You know this town too well,
and this school.
You went here, didn't you?
Why would you lie about that?
Lying was easier.
Why?
You know that big scary group
you and Penny were so afraid of?
That was my group.
What?
My brothers were in charge.
They ran a tight ship.
Guess I never really
realized how tight.
And the man that killed them,
his name was'
Doesn't matter'
My brothers, they'
wronged him'
And so he attacked.
And then I was all alone.
He killed my fianc.
My friends...
Your brothers killed my dad.
What..?
Twin brothers, right?
Richard and Shawn.
Two names I'll never forget.
They ambushed us.
Beat the shit outta my dad.
Richard stepped up
and killed him.
No, no, no! NOOOOOOO!
Nooooo!
Richard!
We don't have enough supplies
for everybody.
Kill the girl.
No, no, no, no!
Please! Please! Please!
NO!
What the FUCK
are you doing?!
Leave them alone!
They're just kids!
Isaac, for love of fucking God!
Come on! Come on! Come on!
Owen! Get after them!
FUCK!
Took Penny,
and I ran and ran and ran.
We didn't know where to go.
We were scared.
And the first time things
made sense after all that
was when that pirate
killed your group.
I thought...
maybe karma is real.
Maybe people get
what they deserve, but'
since you're here, maybe not.
I'm glad that
your group is dead.
Alex, wait! I didn't know!
Where are you going?!
I'm gonna get the inhalers
and get back to Penny.
Just let me help!
No!
I don't trust you.
I got you here, right?!
But you lied
the entire fucking time!
Because it's something
I want to forget!
Yeah well me too.
Come on!
I was never apart of it!
That was all my brother-
How many?
It's just one'
One??
Holy shit! Mr. Adams?!
Who?!
He's my chemistry teacher!
Get out! Get outta here!
Get out!
Shhhhhit!
No no no please..!
No wait! NO!
Azalea'
Fuck!
What's going on...?
No, no, no, no, no, no'
Who are you?
What?
You don't remember me?
Holy shit'
Isaac'
I thought you were dead!
I thought'
you... were dead.
Wha-what are you doing?
Untie me.
No'
What?
No...
I don't think I will.
What the hell's going on?
How are you even alive?!
Now I'm only gonna
ask you this once.
Where?!
Are the rest of your people?
Fuck you.
Ain't telling you shit.
Fine.
I ran away'
Like I... always do.
Why?
Why didn't you come back
to warn us?
You didn't see what I saw.
He tore through EVERYONE!
I know!
He killed our entire group!
Everyone, just gone!
Of course he did!
And the best part?
Is...
I'm glad... he did.
What?
The only reason I was out there
was because YOUR brother
sent me on a, on a terrible
and dangerous job
because of disagreeing with
him about killing KIDS!
Your brothers were monsters!
And I, I, I, I figured
It was God's way
of making things right!
B-B-By killing them!
And YOU by extension'
But here you are.
So'
What exactly are we doing here?
After'
everything happened'
I stayed around here.
It didn't take me long
to go through the, the, the
supplies that were left behind
I'
was starving!
Dying!
And then..!
I realized something!
I have always been
a man of faith!
No matter what!
God!
God! God has always
been there for me!!
Daniel 12:2 promised
a resurrection of the dead.
And and he delivered!
And he is showing us THE WAY!
The dead eat the flesh
per the will of the Lord!
He's telling us what to do!
He is showing us how to survive!
How to go about the deeds
that he feels fit for us!
And that! That is how
I've survived all this time!
By God's... command.
I eat the flesh of the living.
And you'
Azalea'
Because, because of
your cruel nature
I look forward to ending
this world of you'
One piece
at a time.
Goddammit Isaac!
Just let me go!
I never did anything to you!
NO!
You'
You were selfish!
You ARE selfish!
Self-centered!
Back when we were at the camp
All you could do was
think about yourself!
You risked other people's lives-
MY LIFE to get what you wanted!
How many people had to die, so
you could get what you wanted?
Huh?
HUH?!
Whenever, whenever someone'
whenever someone passes through.
I make sure to make it
quick and painless.
For the lucky souls,
so that they don't suffer.
So they can make it
to God's kingdom'
Quick and easy!
But you'
No matter what I do'
You'
You're going... to Hell!
So'
I suppose it doesn't matter
if I make it quick.
No'
Oh no no no no no
No I'm going to make you suffer!
I'm gonna make you pay
for what you've done!
And in the end, you won't be
able to hurt anybody ever AGAIN!
ENOUGH!
This'
ends...
NOW!
Alex... Penny!
Fuck!
Hey you're back!
We have to go! Now!
Why? Where's Azalea?
He took her!
Who did?!
The guy who's been following us!
He took her and my bag!
Well we have to go back!
We can't Penny!
She's a liar.
What do you mean?
Her brothers are the ones
that killed dad.
And she was a part of the
group the entire time.
And right now that stalker
guy's occupied with her,
so this is our opportunity
to get out of here.
Alex, we can't just
leave her there!
- We have to, Penny!
- No we don't!
- Penny!
- No!
Quit messing around and come on!
She saved Mayer!
and then she went on a
suicide mission for me!
We can't just leave
her there to die!
Her brothers killed dad!
So?!
What do you mean, "So?!"
Did she kill dad?
No.
And hasn't she helped us
the entire time we've met her?
Yeah.
So we're gonna help her.
It's what dad would've wanted.
Fine.
We need the inhalers anyway.
Gimme the gun.
Hell no, man.
She gave this to me!
Penny!
Find your own.
ENOUGH!
This'
ends...
NOW!
Alex... Penny!
Holy shit! I just shot somebody!
Azalea!
Azalea, Azalea!
What are you guys doing here,
I thought you were dead!
Asshole took my bag,
but I got away.
We're here
to rescue you!
What?
Is that a bite?
Uh! He did it!
He fucking what?!
That's weird.
Come on, we need
to get out of here.
Wait!
You three aren't going anywhere!
Isaac...
we are walking out of here now!
NO!
I spent weeks searching
for you two!
And you brought them
right to me!
You're all mine!
Wait, wait, wait, wait!
You were with her brothers,
right?
You tried to save us!
Why are you attacking us now?
Why did you follow us?
Funny! Funny isn't it!
His almighty plan!
I saved you then!
And now, and now your body
and your blood
will save us both!
Isaac!
We are walking out of here
or you're dying!
YOUR CHOICE!
Your soul is black!
Azalea O'Rion!
YOUR SOUL IS BLACK!!!
You guys go.
I got this.
We're not leaving you.
You stay, we stay.
Okay, come on.
Wait. Wait, wait, wait.
Alex..!
Come on...
Please don't tell me
you're gonna die.
I'm not gonna die.
Oh, okay good.
Why did you come back for me?
You saved us.
But your dad'
And I have like seven more
in my backpack.
I don't know what I would've
done in that school without you.
Especially with that 'thing'
attacking us.
Guess karma is real.
Who knows? It's just...
I owed you.
I still owe you.
You... lost your fianc?
John.
His name is John.
I didn't just lose him.
I killed him.
Thought you said the pirate did?
Pirate's name is Bigby.
Bigby Gravsley.
After all that happened,
I went after him.
NO!
Did some things
I'm not proud of.
Killed a lot of people.
I tried to'
I don't know what I thought
I was doing.
Think I was just'
Trying to hide from the truth.
Which is?
John was beaten to death
with a hammer
in that warehouse
we were just in.
No wait! NO!
Not only could I not save him,
not only was I not there
for him, but'
I'm the one that sent him there.
And you want me
to take everyone?
Did I stutter?
I yelled at him.
And I ordered him to go there.
Just shut up!
Shut the fuck up, John!
And then he'
I got him killed.
-JOHN!
-I killed him.
Everything that happened
was all my fault.
And now I'll never get
to hold him again.
Or kiss him.
Or dance or anything.
And the worst part is'
I can never tell him that,
I'm sorry.
Maybe you can.
John'
I don't know what to do anymore.
I can't feel you anymore.
Where'd you go?
I know I did exactly what
you told me not to do.
I killed people.
Got others killed.
But I didn't know
what else to do.
You were right.
You were always right.
I'm sorry.
I should've listened to you.
Maybe if I did'
Maybe you'd still be here.
But'
Like you said'
Can't dwell on that.
Can't change the past.
Can't change what happened.
What I did.
Just gotta keep moving forward.
But I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry that I couldn't be
what you wanted me to be.
But I'll try.
I'll try for you.
I love you.
I love you so much.
Despite everything that I did,
I never stopped loving you.
Why can't I feel you anymore?
I'll catch up.
- Hey Azalea?
- Yeah.
Whatever happened
to that pirate guy?
So, start with your
first finger here.
And then just play those.
Yeah, and then move it down...
to here.
Yeah. Now play that.
Yeah, and now go down two more.
No you got it.
John, I-I can't.
Azalea Elizabeth O'Rion.
What's going on?
Stay right there.
You'
What the hell are
you doing here?
I'
I need...
your help.
My help?
What happened to your group?
Your people?
What happened to you?
