ZombieCON Vol. 1 (2024) Movie Script
1
Hm, I know
what you're thinking.
Freak,
geek,
nerd.
We've heard it all.
We're cosplayers.
We're the people you
see rocking everything
from wolf suits
in the middle of summer
to skimpy thongs, mid-winter.
Normies?
Normal people.
They indulge in this life
every Halloween,
but we live it.
We bring our characters to life.
We build our costumes
from scratch.
We stitch, we glue,
we build, we buy, sometimes,
but we rock our cosplay
with pride.
A couple times every year,
we make our pilgrimage
to the cons,
some big, some small,
wearing costumes
of characters you know
and some you've never heard of.
We're ugly.
We're sexy.
We dance.
We fight.
Above all, we live,
through creativity,
through art,
we shape our world.
And while every con is awesome,
this con,...
AnimeCON West is our con.
Small local con to be sure,
but it's the place where we,
the Rocket's Rockets.
We are heroes.
You like it, I know you do.
Zander.
Poser.
Beef?
Original costume choice.
Oh, I see you still haven't been
able to replace this, Rocket.
No, we got something better.
Can't control your little
two-person team here?
Oh, what, what you gonna do?
-It's not worth it.
-Fine.
Good buddy, huh.
Punkie,
it's all good, we got this.
That's right, muzzle your dog.
Hey, asshole,
you need to muzzle yourself.
You need to check
yourself, bitch.
Or what?
Or we'll evaporate you.
Oh honey,
you mean eviscerate.
You're clearly more cleavage
than clever.
That's sass!
Guys, please.
You know,
you're all real so smart
following this piece
of human excrement.
Why are you being
such an asshole?
They came in second nationally
last year
and Rocket's been there.
Been there for who?
For everybody, until he isn't?
Right, leaders don't
leave their teams behind.
Leave behind?
Are you kidding me, Zander?
Mama's Boy!
You know, that's really
rich coming from you, Mr. MIA.
Guys.
Guys.
Yeah, yeah, you guys
are mop rockets.
-Yeah, guys and Rocket.
-Yeah, guys and Rocket.
You know,
you are a real piece of shit.
Oh, here we go.
You're a real piece of shit,
a piece of shit
I wish I could shit out!
Yeah, you can't deny the fact
that you always ride
your mommy's little back.
You and your money, okay?
You have zero, absolute,
not a talent!
One, this is what I think about
that comment you just made.
Two, my mother actually
made your costumes
for quite some time there.
Three, unlike you, I work
my ass off for my money.
And four,
unless you guys are going
for Guardians of the Garbage,
your cosplay sucks.
So suck on that.
Zander's a real leader.
He's so strong.
He's so smart.
Leader, my ass.
You ain't nothing
but a punk, Rocket.
Punk who beat
your sorry ass last year.
Same punk who's gonna
beat it again this year.
Even with you stealing
our concept and routine.
Welcome
to the regional qualifier
for the national competition
here at AnimeCON West!
Now it is time
for our main event,
the thing you have
all been waiting for,
our team competition!
But now, without further ado,
let's bring out our first team.
You know them well.
It's Team Force!
A lone Jedi travels
the inhospitable wastes
of a lost moon
searching for a way
to rebuild his order.
But what's this?
Oh, feel the dark side, Wan-Obi.
I knew you'd be here.
I'm prepared to face you.
I am master!
Master of the Light Side,
here to put an end to you!
We will take everything
from you, Jedi scum.
You may have defeated
my apprentice,
now you have to defeat me.
Your powers mean nothing.
That's right,
ladies and gentlemen,
that was the Force
bringing some cosmic energy
to light this place up.
But now, we have
something special for you.
Two teams, two rivals,
one awesome showdown.
You know who I'm talking about.
And now, without further
hesitation, delegation,
or delay,
let's bring out our second
team and last year's runner up,
it's Team Zander Rules!
-Whoo!
-Whoo!
Guys, guys,
you're gonna miss it,
come here.
-You think they took the bait?
-Of course they took the bait.
Oh, you guys are idiots.
First, we lure them in.
Then we bust out the moves.
With any luck, Zander will
take the bait, post up close,
record the whole thing
and completely rip us off.
-Costumes are dead on.
-But they gotta be idiots
not to see
what we trying to throw.
Oh, no, they took it.
I mean, still?
You gotta be shitting me!
They took it, yep.
When four star-crossed lovers
find themselves trapped
in an enemy's--
-Look how stupid.
-Oh!
- Damn it, Mom!
Claire,
could you please record it?
-Oh, I got this.
-It might be an emergency.
Saving the universe,
they will look so sexy.
It's them!
Zander.
Five, six, seven.
Rules!
Hey, Mom, what's up?
-Is everything okay?
-Yeah.
Mom, I'm backstage right now,
we're about to go up.
You are?
I am so excited for you guys.
Winning this will make
three years in a row.
All right, all right.
I mean, the costumes this
year alone nearly killed me.
Four sets, really?
Again,
I mean, when I was on stage,
I know it's a little different,
but it's all about showmanship,
you know? Well?
Yeah, you know, we're not
talking about that right now.
I can't wait to...
...find.
Love the costumes.
-Rocket?
-Yeah, yeah, sorry, what?
Yes, yes, everybody
loves the costumes, Mom,
you did a great job.
Great.
- So I think--
- Oh, my God!
You know what, Mom?
I'm gonna go post
some more pictures.
No, no, no, you don't need
to make another Facebook post,
not another Snap, Instagram,
I think, I think they get it.
Oh, okay, I love you, baby.
Go Rocket's Rockets, whoo!
Yeah, right, I love you too,
Mom, bye.
Damn!
Okay, that was good, right?
Yeah.
Whoo!
I missed it.
I have it immortalized forever.
Almost makes us feel
bad for them.
Sorry.
And now,
Rocket's Rockets!
Oh, they are gonna be so pissed.
Serves them right,
they shouldn't have tried
to steal our routine.
Let's do it.
Oh, yeah!
I love you, Rocket!
And the team moving on
to the National Grand
Championship is,
drum roll please.
Rocket's Rockets!
- Rocket's Rockets!
- Rocket's Rockets!
Rocket's Rockets!
Rocket's Rockets!
Let's go then, let's go!
Ah, yeah!
We did it, man,
we did it! Yeah!
Rocket, we won,
what's the matter?
-Nothing.
-We won.
Nothing, nothing.
What do you guys think,
roof time?
Roof time,
we should go celebrate.
-Yeah!
-Whoo hoo!
-Hell yeah!
-Whoo hoo!
Hell, let's go!
Man, that shit
was amazing, right?
Two years in a row,
they try and steal our ideas,
two years in a row,
we beat their asses.
It's been two years,
it's been longer than that,
right?
No, man, just two years so far.
- We did it.
- Oh, I love that.
Why are you guys dressed
like that?
All right.
Hey, I only met you like what,
six months ago?
Excuse me.
You'd think that by now,
I'd know not to offer
to buy you food.
- You eat like Luffy.
- Charming.
But wait, when y'all know
how that shit went down?
You need to pay for that.
Hm?
It's good, man, I got it.
He's just standing there
and no good reason.
Hey, I had a reason.
No good reason.
- And what was his reason?
- Oh, I had a reason.
Ninjas, 'cause he won
Ninja Challenge.
Ninja Challenge!
Man, I totally forgot
the switch.
I cannot believe
I forgot about that.
Oh, my God, wait, Javi,
you'd be amazing at that.
Guys, think about all the
different cosplay we could do
with him as different ninjas!
Oh, man.
Have you guys thought
about that?
Snap. You could--
You could be--
you could be you Ninja Jack.
Or Ninja Turtle.
Or one of those ranchers
from Ninja Scroll.
-Or Kakashi Sensei!
-Or Kakashi!
Oh, my God,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Javi, who do you wanna be?
Can I be Samurai Jack
from that cartoon?
Not just that talk about
Naruto or Basilisk or, or...
Oh, Javi...
"Ninja Resurrection!"
That's what I'm talking
about, bitch.
I want the Green Ranger,
I love the Green Ranger
from "Mighty Morphin."
That would just go through
anything, kicks, jabs,
take them all out.
Oh!
I do, but I do see.
I have the templates,
I have the template.
I have the template,
we can do that, yes.
You guys,
Rocky is already helping me
with the shoulder pad
and helmet.
- Money.
- Guys.
- I see it, I see it.
- Guys.
Yes, yes, yes!
Oh, my God, I can see it.
-This is amazing, yes.
-Guys, guys!
What?
What are you--
What are these things
supposed to be?
Hm, they look like
the homeless tree dancers.
I'm-- I'm sorry, excuse me?
What are you all supposed to be?
I'm-- I'm-- I'm--
I'm sorry, excuse me.
What are y'all supposed to be?
No, I know what you said, bitch.
-Excuse me?
-Girl.
She totally gets me, right?
In other words,
it's none of your damn business,
bitch.
Whoa, what the hell
did you say to her?
Steve,
maybe they're just mad,...
...'cause of this shitty trophy.
Our trophy.
Hey, you can give that
back now, please.
That's-- that's ours.
Hey, Green Lady, uh,
do you wanna get
with my Jolly Green Giant?
What the hell's wrong
with you people?
Oh, this dude thinks
he's hot shit.
What do you think about
going outside, huh?
Taking it outside,
Big Blue Smurf Man?
All right, bitch,
we could take it outside.
I got no problem.
Look guys, will you stop
being complete assholes?
Assholes!
Look, it's cool, all right?
You guys go back to your six.
I'll take the trophy back.
Trophy?
Oh, what's this a trophy for?
Dressing up, looking
like a bunch of weirdos?
Seriously, losers.
Look guys, it literally
means nothing to you.
But for us,
we worked very hard
to earn it, so.
Oh really?
What'd you get this for,
making a costume?
No, I-- I didn't make
this costume.
His mom made it, bitch.
What a bitch.
-I'll take the trophy back now.
-Fine, have it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Asshole!
I... I can fix it.
You guys think he'll be okay?
Rocket?
You know, Rocket's gone
through much worse, bro.
I see that.
You know what?
I'm gonna go get our boy
back in shape.
That's right.
Hey, Rocket!
Yo, Rock.
Rocket.
How you doing?
Rocket.
Amazing.
Wonderful,
best celebration ever.
You don't get to be
sarcastic with me, bitch.
What are you still doing
with that piece of junk?
-Will you just leave it?
-Fine.
I'll leave it.
But carrying that chip on
your shoulder ain't gonna do
any of us any good.
They punched me in my eye!
Yeah, you'll live, bitch.
-They insulted you!
-I don't--
Look at what they did
to the trophy!
You think I care
about getting insulted?
They destroyed our trophy!
It's just a trophy.
Can't we get another trophy?
Can you--
It's done, okay, I'm done.
Okay.
Okay, I'm done.
'Cause of a trophy, Rock,
'cause of a trophy?
- Yeah.
- You're sitting up here
melon in this corner
and it's over what?
A trophy, seriously?
What are you talking about,
Punkie?
Don't you see this thing?
It's done.
Bitch.
I'm done!
Yo, we can get another trophy.
But, but this shit,
this shit right here.
This, this shit about
something else, dog.
I try really, really hard.
I know you try hard.
Claire, Javi,
they know you try hard,
but what you don't get, man,
this is not your fault.
I'm not talking about that,
Punkie.
Then what are you talking about?
Being a decent human being.
Common courtesy.
Manners.
It's not that hard.
What?
Well, why-- why should
I turn my other cheek,
when there's just
10 more douche bags
waiting to take their shot
at every corner and turn.
Rocket, don't worry
about them fools, man.
You know,
sometimes shit just happens.
No, no, Punkie,
shit doesn't just happen,
shitty people make shit happen.
All right?
The person that hires you
for a job
and repeatedly tells you
how to do it.
The people hate us...
...for liking something
different.
The meanness for no good
reason, no freaking reason.
Punkie.
Why-- why should I be nice
to them?
Why should I have any respect?
It's just a matter of time...
...before I become
just like them.
All right.
Well...
You can stay here and have
your pissy fit, all right?
But I'm gonna go
be with our friends
and enjoy the rest of the night.
And maybe you could join us
when you stop being
a little bitch
and start showing
some guts, man.
Damn it!
Rocket, where are you going?
I'm tired.
My eye hurts!
I can barely see anything,
I'm going home!
Guess we're all gonna have
to go home then.
That's right.
That's only because we feel
sorry for your ass!
- Not too sorry.
- Let's go.
This is enough
for me to go Super Saiyan.
Super Saiyan three, man.
That was always my favorite
transformation.
Long-haired shit off.
Hey!
- Hell no!
- It's okay.
What you doing, rapist?
-It's okay, it's just he's--
-Come on. Come on.
He's--
No, you don't have to be nice
about this, Claire.
Punkie.
Who goes around in garbage
grabbing people arms like that?
- Punkie.
- Real superheroes?
Are you real superheroes?
Can I please
have the shiny pieces?
No.
So now the homeless kid's
got jokes.
Rocket, chill out.
No, no, I'm-- I'm fine, Punkie,
I'm just-- I'm just laughing
at all the hilarious
jokers I've seen tonight.
We've got Zander and those
pricks from the liquor store
and-- and now this kid,
you know what?
I hope it's freezing tonight.
Claire,
you good?
Yeah, guys, really, I'm good.
-Fine.
-I'm good.
-Good?
-Yes.
-Well, let's go.
-Okay.
-Come on.
-Yep.
All right.
It's all good, Javi.
Hey, Punkie, wait up.
- Claire?
- Yep, I'm good.
You believe this guy?
Getting ready to smack
this guy, yeah.
Technically, we're space
bandits at the moment,
but I like to think that we're
superheroes all the time,
no matter what, here.
Your friend over there,
tell him that
it's gonna be okay.
You tell him that
he can't give up.
Thank you. Seriously, though,
don't mind him.
He's-- he's just had a really
rough night, usually he--
Hello?
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Um...
That's weird.
Come on, Claire.
Okay, yeah.
-Hello.
-Okay, um...
Claire.
Okay, okay, okay, I'm...
-Come on, man.
-I'm coming.
You wash your hands, girl.
I'm coming.
That's what happened.
Hey, let's go.
Punkie, what you looking at?
Go take him apart, girls.
No!
This can't be.
You, this I can't forgive.
Tell me where my sister is.
I'll never tell you.
Why so much blood?
Because he's cut him in
half with a samurai sword.
Oh my God, Claire, oh, my God.
Please tell me it's ready.
- Oh, my God.
- It is ready!
-Oh!
-That is awesome!
-Ready!
-That is...
-Oh my God.
-Oh my God.
-That is awesome!
-You did it again, girl.
-Dodo dodo!
-It's amazing!
I'm so happy
that you guys like it.
Hell yeah, this is awesome.
It is.
The Spandex is incredible.
-Oh, my God.
-And the white piping.
But look at this, Javi.
-Claire, look at the detail.
-I'm so glad you guys like it.
- Look at the stitching.
- You did great.
So no one asked me
about my eye?
Of course not.
That'll be Rock.
Is he still mad?
He's all ducked up now.
This is so sweet.
Oh, what do you think?
I just finished it.
What is it?
What, you know what it is?
Rocket, can you not see it?
It's the green under suit,
the Green Ranger suit,
does it not look like it?
It looks like it, yeah?
- Of course.
- You don't like it, or?
No, it's great.
Wonderful, good job.
He likes it,
he's just still churned up
from the other night,
but he'll come around.
It really does look great,
Claire.
Thanks.
Hey guys, I'm ordering
from GIGO's, who's--
- Me.
- GIGO's, I am down.
I'll take pepperoni.
I need those spicy sausage.
Here's the menu.
- Guys.
- Mm-Hm. You dig.
Guys!
-Pepperoni, yo.
-Mm-Hm.
True that, baby.
Guys!
DEVAN is working,
it's the weekend.
The pizza, however, is on point.
Mm-Hm, true that.
Okay, yeah, you guys
can do whatever you want.
Okay, I'm not answering
the door though, so.
I wasn't gonna ask you
to answer the door, Claire.
Oh, thanks, Rocket.
Hey, what's your problem?
That guy's an utter scumbag,
bottom of the barrel
piece of shit with no hope
at redemption anyways,
but we only need to see him
for like two microseconds
anyways.
DEVAN was the only person
in my life before you guys.
He betrayed me,
he ripped my heart out, okay.
He's a huge asshole
and I don't wanna see him.
What about that
are you not getting?
- Guys, I can--
- Hold on, Javi.
Is this still about the costume?
Did I like not give you
what you wanted?
What?
Because great, good job, Claire.
You've outdone yourself
yet again.
Is that better?
No, that's not, really.
Hey, Rocket man, chill.
Oh, okay, seriously, tears.
What's wrong with you?
You know,
you're being no different
than DEVAN or Zander
right now, mm-Hm.
Did you just compare me
to Zander?
Yeah, you're an asshole!
I don't know
what that was all about.
Why does he have to be
such a dick?
So spicy sauce, Javi.
No, dummy, it was about you.
She used to date them, fool.
Oh.
Guys.
You forgot?
Yeah.
Guys, hey guys.
Hey.
Oh, man.
Guys, I can get the door.
But so look, we gonna
get the lowest pepperoni,
lowest sausage, lowest veggie.
Assholes took my parents.
Assholes ruin everything.
Uh!
I hate assholes!
Damn it all,
get this thing moving.
Get those rockets ready.
On it, sir.
I hate assholes!
I wish all the assholes
in this world
would just turn into zombies,
so I could just kill them!
What?
What the?
What the hell?
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa, whoa!
Are you serious?
-Did you--
-Seriously?
Did you feel that?
What?
What?
Sorry, that was weird.
It just started, man.
- Wasn't it?
- Shut up.
Use the experimental
ammunition.
See, Javi, man, you gotta
get with this shit, man.
Look, look,
look at the quality in the art
and the characters.
It's cool, I mean,
I just only ever got
like "Dragon Ball Z"
growing up in Mexico.
Yeah, that sound like
some third world shit there.
Pizza's on the way.
"DBZ" is on only the tip of
the proverbial anime iceberg.
You know that, right?
Oh, well, yeah, but
we also have "Saint Seiya,"
you know,
"Knights of the Zodiac."
Basically, the guys have their
powers based on their sign,
their zodiac sign,
it's really cool.
Especially, you know,
you get all your powers
depending on your--
What?
What?
Right, right, I mean,
I do love the "Mech."
No, what about "The Toe?"
What's "The Toe?"
I hate "The Toe."
Oh, you ain't serious?
I'll be right back, gang.
Oh man,
I'm gonna get you "The Toe."
Now you getting
into some real anime.
Shit!
Yes?
Um, look, I'm sorry that
I forgot that you and DEVAN--
No, no, no,
it's okay, it's okay.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
When's the--
when's the pizza get here?
Ah, says he just parked.
Okay.
It's pizza time.
Hello, DEVAN.
-It was the power!
-That's right.
Hurry!
Amazing, right,
fastest turnaround yet,
didn't even have to see
his face.
Hey, pizza.
Pay no, pay attention, man.
You wanted "The Toe," right?
Right.
Well, you...
We did it!
Yeah!
Claire.
Ssh!
Guys!
Yo, what the hell, Rocket.
Did you not pay this fool?
I did, I mean, I checked it,
the cash will all be there.
This dude did, Rocket.
I'm gonna show him
who the number one,
unpredictable, knucklehead
ninja really is.
Oh!
Son of a bitch!
Get him off of me!
Chomping all over my damn self!
Punkie!
Help me up!
Incoming!
Shit!
Oh, shit!
Now!
Now, do it now, Claire!
Put that shit down,
what are you doing?
Claire, Claire!
Oh, my God!
Claire!
Holy shit!
What are you doing?
What are you doing, Claire?
Oh, my God!
Have you lost your mind,
Claire?
Guys, I'm worried.
Oh, you're worried, huh?
-We're all worried, Claire.
-Yeah.
Guys, I feel like we need
to have a serious conversation
about what just went down.
Guys.
Oh, Claire, you stabbed
that guy right in the head.
And the heart, Claire.
I know.
I know, we had a rather
unagreeable conversation
about your ex-boyfriend earlier,
that for which I am sorry for.
But Claire,
please let me speak.
Stabbing people is not
the ideal go-to solution
in these circumstances.
-Claire, Claire!
-Rocket!
Claire. No, Rocket, wait.
Now Claire, doll, what happened?
I think, er, I think,
I think I've turned him
into a zombie.
Zombie?
Hey, not a normal zombie
though, like--
You, you-you did what now?
Um, I,...
...er, you know,
like the zombie thing...
It should've been like a normal
zombie, but it didn't die
when I stabbed it in the head,
so like a zombie thing, okay.
You mean like dead people alive,
flesh-eating kind of zombie?
Yes, but no,
because he's like a--
like a zombie thing.
Okay, because he should've
died when I hit him in the head
and he didn't,
so a zombie thing, okay.
Do you mind elaborating on that?
Sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay!
The magic rock
started glowing,
and I wished for all
the assholes in the world
just to become zombies.
This thing that showed up
was way more evil,
so I really like,
I really, really,
really think the whole world
could really be in trouble
because of me
and I don't know what to do.
Okay, so um, magic rock, um,
all the assholes.
What are you talking about,
Claire?
From the mystic man, okay,
from the alley last night,
he gave me this magic rock
and it started glowing
and I just,
I wished all the assholes
in the world
just become zombies so I
could just kill them, okay,
and be destroyed, I didn't
think that it would come true.
I just like, you know, I was
angry, just talking out loud.
You know, like you're angry,
you talk out loud and...
All right.
It puts a whole new
meaning on the phrase,
"Be careful what you wish for."
I am telling you
the truth, okay, I know--
I know you're telling
the truth, Claire,
that-that is what terrifies me,
because you,
you're either bat shit crazy
or the entire world is...
Do you...
Do you know how many assholes
I encounter
on a day-to-day basis?
But Claire, it's...
That's a lot of goddamn
zombie things
that they got running around
out there
or whatever you wanna
call it out there.
That's what I'm trying
to tell you guys.
We have an extremely
big problem, okay, guys.
We already, we already
got DEVAN and-and Zander
and those assholes
from the other night.
You put that together,
that's a lot of goddamn zombies!
- Zombies.
- I know.
Exactly, and then you got
that bitch in my Pilates class
and then those assholes
and then you got Mr--
you got Mr. Reynolds
from next door.
Mr. Reynolds from next door!
Yeah, Mr. Reynolds
from next door.
He's like a huge asshole!
I hate that guy,
that guy stole
my favorite tank top.
That was my favorite shirt.
Why were you so mad about it?
-Crazy!
-Guys,...
...new plan, all right,
we're gonna go next door,
we're gonna pay
Mr. Reynolds a visit.
If he's a zombie,
then Claire's not
a psycho murderer.
You know,
I like the sound of that.
And what if he's not a zombie?
Yeah, what if he's not a zombie?
Then that's the corpse of
a regular human being outside
that we killed in self-defense.
That's right.
Right, it was self-defense.
-Why not?
-It was self defense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think I seen some of
that on the deep web.
What is the deep web?
It's like a totally
different kind of internet
underneath the internet.
Hey, you gotta stay
away from that stuff.
It's crazy, it's like
exploring in caves or something.
-Yeah, yeah, I saw the video.
-No, Javi.
This guy that broke into
a family's home
while they were having dinner,
and I think he stabbed him
with a fork.
Hold on, I got you, Rock!
Get up now, Rocket!
Get the swords out,
get the swords out!
Get the swords out!
Punkie!
Punkie, come on!
No, no, no, you gotta stab it!
Punkie, hold on!
Javier, go!
You're not a nice man,
Mr. Reynolds!
- Oh, God.
- Holy.
Oh, my God!
Jackpot.
Yeah, yeah!
Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Holy shit, what!
I got this.
Move, I got him, all right!
That's how you do it, shit!
Javi, it's the heart, bitch!
Oh, oh, my God.
Look what you've done, Claire!
Oh, it's okay.
Oh.
good job.
Oh, good job.
Oh, God, that is so gross.
Come on.
Whoo!
What you want me to do
with this shit, Rocket?
On top of DEVAN.
He stinks so bad.
Come on, let me help you.
- Push, push!
- Come on, man.
I don't wanna do this
any more than you do.
Rocket,
why you got us doing this?
Why you don't do?
- One.
- It touched my leg.
Two, three.
- So gross.
- Oh, my God!
It stinks.
-So bad.
-Oh, man.
-Hoo, that was bad.
-It stinks.
That was so bad.
So bad.
Oh, we're not the only ones
who noticed
the zombie thing outside.
Let's check the news.
Grab some melons
and support your Local
LA Farmer's Market.
Find your Local
Farmer's Market.
Good afternoon,
I am Adriana Martinez,
filling in
for Melissa Rodriguez.
Hi, my name is Ralph Peterson,
filling in for Phil Kruse
alongside my co-host here.
Los Angeles is up in flames.
Well, nationally, we look good.
Of what officials are calling
-... homeless vagrants.
-About the local.
You!
You must be your own
hope in this situation,
because no one is coming
to help you!
Police, fire--
You mean just, Christ,
every asshole in the city?
Oh, my God!
- They killed me!
- Oh, shit.
With their bare hands!
Great,
so the whole city are zombies?
Wait, does that mean that
everybody in LA is a zombie?
Just the assholes of LA.
And you can mostly count
anyone who might've been bitten.
God, what have I done?
Why do they have to be zombies?
Zombie, zom-zombies, Claire,
that-that-that's
what you've done.
Guys.
Family, is there anybody
that you need to warn?
Uh, my family's in the middle
of nowhere in Mexico,
but they're all
pretty good people,
so I think they'll be good,
but no phone.
Mine are not but honestly,
I'd be more concerned
for the damn zombies.
Claire?
You know.
Right, yeah.
I'm sorry.
What about Big Mama?
I'm gonna call her, but first,
we need to lock this place down.
Javi, check the downstairs.
Punkie,
could you check the front?
-On it.
-Claire, get the windows.
Got it.
Hey, we'll make sure
our mama's all right, okay.
Well...
Pick up.
Pick up.
Pick up, pick up.
Hey, sorry I couldn't get--
Shit!
Don't forget to
follow the Rocket's Rockets
on Facebook and Instagram.
Hey, Mom, it's me,
I was just calling to make sure
that you were safe and...
...we haven't talked
since yesterday.
What do you want us
to do now?
What do you want us
to do now, Rocket?
What?
Not you, Mom.
Jav.
Well, there's,...
...there's no good way
to explain this, I...
- Hey, Rock.
- Can you just call me back...
...as soon as you get this?
Rock, Rocket,
you gotta see this, man.
Los Angeles seems to be the
only city thus far affected.
I love you.
Rocket, you gotta see this.
The spread of rage
through the population.
Experts believe it to
be brought on by anger
about unfair wages
and economic constraints,
while others
are claiming Hollywood
has the more Hollywood problem.
Our own Ryan Spitz
is in LA.
-Are we all locked up?
-Yeah, nice and tight.
I got the downstairs door.
-Did you get a hold of Big Mama?
-No.
You gotta call her back,
Rocket.
Wait, is Big Mama okay?
I don't know, Javi.
I'm sure she is.
Ain't nothing gonna take
down Big Mama, come on.
Damn it!
No, no, this is-- this is
the worst possible city
to be in right now, okay,
there are assholes everywhere!
Pretty sure she's good, Rock.
Right now, as I speak,
somebody's probably chewing-
Will you calm down, man?
Get a hold of yourself, Rock.
Listen to me, we gonna get
Big Mama, we gonna get her.
But right now,
we need to make sure
this place is secure,
all right?
All right.
-Okay?
-Yeah, yeah.
-All right?
-You're right.
Now what you wanna do next,
Rocket?
You're right.
Hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, what's next?
We need to lock this place down.
Oh no, no!
I'm sure we'll
be able to re-establish
that connection
in just a moment.
-All right.
-Let's get to work.
All right, we've got nine
collectible sword katanas,
two wrenches, a screwdriver,
two chisels, two hammers.
Couple of knives.
There's a saw over there.
One last thing of toilet paper.
We've got one of these things,
that and we're high.
You're high?
High in this unit.
Oh.
All right, we're situated
on the top two floors,
which is already two
floors above street level
mixed with the fact that
there's only two
accessible entry points,
both sealed doors,
means we should be good until
we need to make a supply run.
But with everything here,
we should be good for a few days
'til the madness
out there calms down.
Oh, nice!
Where did you get
all this stuff from?
End of the world prep, baby.
I get all wrapped up in the
prepper YouTube channels.
Welcome to this week's
episode of "Survive."
This week's topic,
we're gonna go with sustenance.
because without sustenance,
you cannot survive,
do you hear me?
You cannot survive, sustenance.
Now I like this one
because it is a non-GMO.
A waste of money, man.
-Well, this is what--
-Wait!
As Los Angeles and the country
seem to be getting worse,
the federal government has
declared a state of martial law
and has warned all
citizens to stay indoors,
as the now confirmed
outbreak begins to spread
outside the border
of Los Angeles.
All right guys,
check this stuff out.
-And this.
-What?
-Pretty cool, huh?
-What?
Where did you get this, Javi?
I bet an entire YouTube video
on it.
Okay guys, today is the day
you've all been--
None of you guys watched it?
- Javi.
- Seriously, guys?
Hell yeah.
These things tight, Javi.
Hell yeah.
Wow.
Okay, discount magic rock
that turns the world to shit,
zombie apocalypse is
completely impossible.
Survival weapons, survival kits,
this is why you two
never have any money.
What?
This just in from our
desk from Atlanta, Georgia.
The CDC
has officially confirmed
that the riot happening
in Los Angeles
is due to an infection.
Except for right now,
I guess.
And has now officially
been dubbed the outbreak.
Good job, Punkie, Javi.
Excellent, yeah, so now
all we need is water.
Is that from this building?
I got like four or five
gallon jugs just chilling.
This just in.
Cool, cool.
The internet is down.
We use this place to fire
from in case they get
inside the complex.
Barricade the doors.
Heck,
we should be able to hold out
until the worst part is over.
Yeah, what part is that?
The initial rush for supplies,
it's panic out there,
people fighting people,
people fighting zombies,
pure chaos.
Well, I guess it's good
we're up here then,
safe and secure.
Yeah, that's right,
I would not wanna be
street side right now,
that would literally
be the absolute worst.
This is the emergency
broadcast system.
The cable just went out.
Repeat, this is not a test.
The Center
for Disease Control--
What about wifi?
The outbreak of a new
virus strain that is causing
the infected to--
LT is up but don't have wifi.
Wonderful.
At least it's something.
-I guess.
-All right, well,...
we stay here
until this thing blows over,
until we figure out
how to undo Claire's curse.
Really?
Come on, girl,
that shit wasn't no blessing.
Look guys,
we're perfectly safe here.
There's no reason
to leave this apartment.
Answer the door for no one.
We stay here,...
...we will survive.
Mom!
Honey,
what's going on out there?
You know, it sounds like
that time when the, er--
Mom, have you been bitten?
Bitten?
Have you been bitten?
Bitten?
I've never been bitten.
You know, it sounds like
sirens and all kinds of stuff.
What's going on?
I mean, Ralph's car alarm's
been going on
for the past two hours.
Mom, could you just stop
and listen to me real quick?
You need to listen to me.
You know, I don't like
your friends anymore.
They come over here
asking me to sew costumes
and you don't even come over
and visit your mother.
What are you talking about,
Mom?
You gave us
our costumes months ago.
What are you talking about?
They were just here
picking them up.
Could you just lock
yourself in your room?
Don't yell at your mother.
Mom, please, please.
All right, but we're not done
talking about your friends.
You know, they're starting
to act like little assholes,
they come to my house,
ruin my floor
with that sticky,
corn syrupy, fake blood stuff,
and then they chase me
out of the house,
lock me out of the house
before I can lock them
out of the house.
You take these games
way too seriously.
I mean, a healthy dose
of imagination--
Mom.
That's good.
Are you locked in your room?
Ugh, yes, Rocket.
Okay, is the window closed,
got bars on it and everything?
- Ugh!
- Please, Mom.
Yes and I even called
the police to try to get them
to come turn
Ralph's car alarm off.
Of course, nobody answers
and then with that,
between you and your friends
and the craziness.
What do you mean, friends,
Mom?
What do you mean,
what do I mean?
Your friend Zander
and Rocket's Douches.
They come over here,
they get their costumes
touched up,
ask me to make new ones,
I'm exhausted.
Mom, those--
those aren't my friends, Mom.
They're the ones that
are stealing our routines and...
...I told you about them, Mom!
Oh no!
How did they trick me
like that?
Oh gosh,
I'm so sorry, Rocket.
Those little snakes.
I didn't know, they asked me
never to mention it.
Is that why you didn't call me
last night?
It's okay, Mom,
it's not your fault
you didn't know.
It's just...
Mom, look, don't worry
about Zander and them,
they're just a bunch of...
Mom?
Mom!
I'm sure she's okay.
Mama, hello?
Mama, hello Mama.
I'm sure her battery
just died, it always does,
she never charges her phone,
she loses it always, you know.
-I'm gonna call her back.
-What happened there?
Relax, deep, deep breaths,
it's okay, it's okay.
-She's fine.
-Is this okay?
-See, it's--
-She's...
Hey, she's fine, okay,
it's Big Mama.
- Please, okay.
- Rocket, she's fine.
I'm sure, she's always
by herself, she's always fine.
Rocket.
Rocket, I'm pretty sure
she good, man.
- Rocket.
- She's, Rocket.
-Do you think she's okay?
-I don't know.
- What are we gonna do?
- We have to do something.
-I don't know.
-We have to do something.
I don't know what to do!
What are we gonna-
Just let me think, all right.
Oh, my God.
I don't know
what we're gonna do,
but we gotta do something.
We're just gonna have
to go get her.
Let's go.
I'm game.
I hope so.
Mom.
No, it's Punkie, bitch.
Man, get your shit on
and get your ass upstairs.
We about to go save
Big Mama now.
Punkie, you--
Javi, you want a hand
with something?
- Peanut butter?
- Yeah, yeah.
Cool.
- Wax jacket?
- Cool, I got this shit.
Hopefully he's ready to get
his Levi Ackerman on, right?
Nice one.
What are you guys
doing in your costumes?
We about to go to work,
bitch.
That's right, Rocket.
That's right, amigo.
Put that on,
put that shit on, man,
because you don't look like
no leader
in that thick ass jacket.
No, because this is cosplay,
all right?
It's not gonna protect you
from anything,
because it's a costume.
Get your head outta your ass,
Rocket.
Now, we're about to go
across this godforsaken city
and we gonna fight
whatever shit be out there,
because we believe.
Punkie.
No!
Shut up.
Listen to me, all right.
We believe in you, man.
And we love you
and we love your mom.
She's been like a mom,
she's been like a mom
to all of us, dog
and we wanna help.
Let us help you, Rock.
Let us help you.
-Wait.
-No.
These costumes,
these costumes, man,
these costumes,
these costumes, Rock,
they're not just material
to us, man.
It's the characters
and what they represent.
It's the love that
was put into making them.
It's the power and the strength,
the strength that they have.
These are not just costumes,
these are our uniforms.
This is our all
and we believe in it, man.
Like we believe in you.
Well, they're not done yet.
How about an upgrade?
Oh, shit.
Be quiet.
All right, guys, ssh!
Just be quiet.
Ssh!
Are we using a car?
No, how many assholes do you
think drive in LA every day?
Every single one of them
would've turned into zombies
at the exact same time, okay.
We have to find a path
off the beaten trail
and away from other people.
Right and we can't just run
through the middle of the city.
Do we use bikes?
No, we go under.
There's a network
of old abandoned tunnels
that run under LA.
If we take a specific
electric tunnel
into the city civic corridor
and make a right into
the trolley tunnel,
that should get us here.
How do we get in?
The entrance
is the first gated warehouse.
Our hookup at the roof told me
they've never locked the door,
it's just always been
rusted shut,
so we should be home free.
We can pry it open.
Man, you're one smart kid.
Thanks.
How do we get there?
Like above a highway
or something?
True that.
Not if we go this way.
We cut through the park,
we skip congested
downtown areas,
highways, the freeways,
all the on and off ramps.
It's gonna spit us out just
a few blocks from the warehouse.
Park should be dead, so there
shouldn't be any walkers
in the warehouse,
it's in the middle
of a industrial area
in the middle of the weekend,
that should be dead as well.
Well, it would be,
wouldn't it?
You know, dead.
All right, once there,
we can go through here
and follow the overflow canals
to here
and enter the tunnels there.
Where did you get that map?
City contract, baby.
Huh.
It's our best chance to get Mom.
Now, let's gear up,
move light and be safe.
All right.
Yeah, guys, remember,
we don't know how strong
or fast these things
are or if killing one
is gonna bring on even more,
okay.
Bring them,
DEVAN was way too hard.
Even taking down Mr.
Reynolds' old ass was a bitch.
Yeah, it did look so
much easier in the movie.
Look, just focus on avoidance,
okay?
This is EVA foam tailored
fit to each of you.
Punkie, did you paint these?
Shh!
Hell no.
I never saw these things
before, obviously.
They were supposed
to be for our next con.
I think it's sweet.
I like it.
Right, so it's light
and it shouldn't take
more than a bite or two in
the same spot, all right?
We should be able to
outpace them, right, Claire?
Yes, sir.
Good,
I mean, just pretend like
it's a Halloween run.
We should be fine.
Hell yeah.
Let's go get Mom back.
Let's do it.
Let's go, let's move.
Come on, guys.
Is it right or left here?
This way, this way, guys.
Did you see that?
Rocket, where's your kit?
It's in's Javi's bag.
This bag?
Okay, let's go.
This bag?
Come on.
Javi, grab that shit.
Grab your own damn gear.
- Ssh!
- Quiet down, quiet down.
Oh, I'm so tired.
I can't believe it,
we're gonna run into
a zombie herd!
Don't mess
with our juju, Claire.
- Move, come on, move!
- Come on!
Go, go, go, come on!
Help me!
Rocket!
Just-just help Rocket!
Hey!
Come on, man,
let's get you outta here.
Guys, help me!
Guys, I dropped my light,
oh, shit!
Guys, I got my light!
Javi, guys! Shit!
Shit, shit!
Going!
I'm not built
for long distances.
Damn, man!
Bitch broke my costume.
Oh, he dead.
He's dead.
- You good, Claire?
- Yeah.
- Rocket, you all right?
- Rocket, are you good?
Bitch broke my costume.
Oh damn, damn, damn!
Yeah, what else, baby?
- You do the heart?
- You get the heart?
We got the heart, we good.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, you fat bitch.
Shit.
- Rocket, you all right?
- Yeah.
Oh yeah, you all dead
and shit, bitch.
How you doing, Rocket?
It's dead right?
Good, the entrance,
it's right ahead.
- Come on, guys.
- Okay, come on.
Come on, come on.
- Good job.
- Let's go, baby.
Claire!
Let's go, baby, come on,
there could be more.
Hold on, guys.
Come on, Javi.
Javi, come on.
Open it now, they're coming!
Please!
-They're coming now!
-Javi, come on!
Open that shit!
My God!
Get out of my way!
-Run!
-Run!
-Good job, guys, come on.
-Where do we go next?
Come on, guys.
-I can't see.
-Which way, Rocket?
-Come on, hurry up.
-Straight, straight, straight.
We're here, we're here.
Okay, so we're gonna, okay,
we're gonna block this,
we're gonna go right,
and then we're gonna go--
We can't stop here,
they're coming.
Come on please, right here.
Guys, come on, where do we go?
We go through a big
constructional corridor.
Guys, okay!
- Don't tell me to--
- Let him talk.
Let's go, that door's
not gonna hold them!
Go left, guys, come on, left!
Then right, right!
Faster!
I think we're still on track.
You think?
Let's recharge for a bit,
next leg's gonna be worse.
Don't say that.
Look what they did to my helmet.
Hell, I got you.
Here, put this on.
We just need to go through
the green rail.
Straight through
the north, right.
Come on, come on, guys,
come on.
You ready?
But if there's too many
zombies...
Come on!
Come on, move, move, run!
Come on, hurry, come on!
- Hurry up, hurry up!
- Run!
Come on, Javi.
Come on with this shit.
No.
Oh, shit!
-What?
-Sorry.
I left the bag of weapons
back there.
You guys, come on, come on.
-What do we do now?
-I don't know.
-Come on.
-What do we do now?
Guys, they're coming.
Where do we go?
I don't know.
Shit, Rocket.
What are we supposed to do now?
I'm thinking,
I'm thinking, I'm trying.
No, no.
Fuck it.
- Which way do we go?
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
Guys, guys, come on,
I said come on.
-Shit, just be careful.
-Get up, get up!
Go, go, go!
Come on!
- What you got?
- I don't know.
It's a map.
Man, cellphone out.
Cameras never have passwords,
too easy.
Hey, they're spelunkers.
Hey, check it out,
check it out.
-Oh, shit, here?
-Yeah.
Take it up, oh, where are we?
We're supposed to be
the center right?
I got it, I got it.
Guys, guys,
I got it, I got it.
Oh, whoa, whoa!
Dude, do you smell that?
Dude, what is in there?
You were supposed
to bring the beer, right?
Oh, come on.
Oh, my God,
they're turning into zombies.
Wait.
Are they still here?
Oh, my God!
Rocket!
Get out of my way,
get out of my way!
Take my sword,
take it, take it!
- Do it!
- Hurry up!
Holy shit!
You got it.
Rocket! Rocket!
It's coming!
Oh my God,
it's happening, no!
Javi!
Javi, no!
Javi, no!
Hey, over here!
Javi, don't!
Don't do it, Javi, please!
Guys, we're never
gonna get that door open!
-Javi, no! Javi!
-We'll have to go outside!
Javi, get back here please!
What are you doing?
I'm not just an appetizer.
I'm the main course, bitch,
let's go!
Let's go!
I'm a ninja warrior, let's go!
Javi, come back,
please don't go,
please come back!
Javi!
Oh, my God, Javi!
Why'd you have to go there?
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, where am I?
Okay, trapped, oh!
Come on, you ugly bastards!
Come on!
It's been 15 minutes.
What do we do?
We wait for Javi.
-Mom is--
-We wait for Javi.
My mom is still out there.
Javi is still out there.
We don't know that.
That's cold,
you're so cold right now.
How could you be
so selfish, Rocket?
What?
Look, we, we appreciate
everything that you do for us,
but seriously, Javi just
gave his life for us, okay,
like how could you be so selfish
that you forget about him?
Is that what you think?
You think that I feel nothing
for Javier?
How could you even say that?
'Cause you just
wanna save your mom, Rocket.
No.
To believe that
my mom is okay,...
...I need to believe that Javi
can take care of himself.
Okay, that's what
keeps me going.
This, this morning I woke up
and my biggest problem
was some stupid Black guy
and a worthless mangled trophy.
And I sat there running through
every scenario in my head
where I could actually
kill each and every one
of those pricks from the
liquor store the other night,...
...and I actually enjoyed it.
Right now,
they're probably munching
on some poor bastard's brain...
...and the truth is, I,...
...I feel so sorry for them.
Everything that they were,...
...everything that they could
have been is gone forever,...
...reduced to corpses,...
...and one of my best friends
in the world
just offered himself up
to those things,
so that we might have a chance
to get through this thing alive.
So you're right,
I am selfish,
selfish because I'm not
out there with him,...
...selfish because
I'm still here.
What?
What are you talking about?
The biggest asshole of them all,
I hear everything that I say,
everything that I do.
No, no, you're wrong.
- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
- You're wrong.
You're wrong, you're wrong.
How could you mean that?
What do you mean?
Look, in there,...
...you feel that?
Listen to it, won't you?
What you talking about?
You still have
a heartbeat, Rock,
that mean everything you are
and everything you can be,
everything is still there.
It's still there.
Javi knows that.
He knows that, right.
And then we get Mama.
20 minutes.
What?
20 minutes,
we're gonna go find
Javi ourselves.
Dead or alive.
20 minutes.
20 minutes.
Oh, my God!
-Look at you!
-Oh!
Oh, I'm glad to see you.
-Look at you.
-How did you escape?
They made me work for it.
Oh, my God.
Man, man,
I'm so glad to see you, man.
-Glad to see you guys.
-Javi.
Javi, you good?
-Get over here.
-Oh.
Hey, now let's go get Mama,
baby.
-Ssh!
-Where's the key?
Be quiet.
-Where's the key?
-Find the key.
You don't have a key?
Rocket, please tell me
you have a key.
- Rocket.
- It's right here.
Okay, good.
It should be here.
Got it.
You guys still have your swords?
Oh damn, I kind of left mine
with that big bastard
back there.
No, mine is long gone.
Always going, babe.
I hope that they're not here.
We're coming, Mom.
Let's go.
Let's get Mama.
She said she was in her
room when the phone cut out.
Let's move.
Ssh, just keep moving.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Guys.
Guys.
Mom, are you in there?
Big Mama?
One, two.
Three!
It's about time,
the neighborhood is...
Oh, my God, look at you,
what happened to your eye?
Oh, my God,
where have you been?
-What's wrong?
-Rocket, we gotta go.
Rocket.
Wait, Javi, gotta, please.
What are you doing?
What--
what's happening, Rocket?
Zombies everything, it's bad.
- Zombies, what?
- It's my fault.
I wished upon a magic rock
and I turned every asshole
in LA into zombies.
So really, it's--
it's everything.
-Sorry, it was an accident.
-It was an accident.
She didn't do it on purpose.
What are you...
what are you talking about,
zombies?
Uh, you mean the walkers that
are in that
male soap opera show
with the two sexy cops,
two sexy police officers?
"The Walking Dead?"
-Yes.
-Yes.
Ssh, ssh, ssh!
Is that my sliding glass door?
What was that?
I told you guys,
I saw something back there.
Shit, you think
something's out there?
Yeah, I locked your
sick friends out there
after they came in
and dirtied up my carpet
with all that stupid fake blood.
Remember the last time you
made the zombies go boom?
It's Zander.
And you know, and--
and the killing
the zombies thing,
it was a disaster.
Shit!
Javi.
Come on, get back.
What the hell you doing?
Breaking my door and getting
that crap all over my floor.
-They can't understand you.
-I wasn't born yesterday.
What you wanna do, Rocket?
Rocket, what do you wanna do?
Rocket?
Yeah, what do you
wanna do, Rocket?
Rocket?
We have no choice.
-We have to kill them.
-Kill them?
Always consulting
your precious Rocket.
Did I miss something?
Zander?
Claire,
are they supposed to be able
to do that?
No, no, no,
they're definitely not.
Go to your room, Mom.
Rocket.
Just do it.
No, Mama Bear,
why don't you stick around?
We'd love to have you
for dinner.
Go to your room, Mom.
Mom!
Be safe, Rocket's Rockets,
kick some ass.
Enough!
What is going on here?
How do you think they speak?
We walked, bitch.
The bigger the asshole,
the bigger the zombie.
Oh, so much more than
a zombie, little Rocket.
We are the pure manifestation
of evil
of our very own Eden.
It makes no difference to me.
- Rocket!
- Rocket!
You good?
You piece of shit!
Leave him alone!
I'm in charge, bitch!
- No!
- Son of a bitch!
I'm in charge now.
Rocket, you okay?
Rock?
Come on!
Rocket, Rocket!
You piece of shit!
You bitch!
You bitch, bitch!
Claire!
Javi!
Why is always the sexy
ones that are crazy?
Javi!
No, Punkie!
Claire, no!
Rocket!
Can't wait to taste you,
Rocket.
Asshole!
Rocket!
Rocket!
-Rocket!
-Rocket!
I feel so much stronger now.
God,
this feels so much more amazing.
I'm so much stronger now.
You are one of the biggest
pricks that I know.
Let my friends go.
No, little Rocket.
Soon.
Rocket!
Shut up back there!
Soon you will be like me.
I will never be like you.
Stop lying to yourself.
You and I are exactly alike.
The only difference is that
you mask your true nature.
You're a bonafide asshole,
one of the biggest
and the best that I know.
You are just
a manipulative prick.
You used me.
No!
No.
My friends!
You're just a voice in my head.
Yes!
Now it's me and you.
Shut up back there!
You're nothing like
your friends.
You can fight it!
Let them go, girls.
Rocket.
Fight it.
The reason you're there
and I'm here
is because the world
went to shit
the moment everybody
turned into a zombie.
The world's full of assholes,
we are the majority.
Accept it.
Every single moment
of your life,
you tried to do
the right thing, Rocket,
like making zombies that
were assholes get respect.
No.
Guess what, Rocket?
The world is shit.
That's right.
Bon appetit, bro.
Welcome to the club.
Fight it, Rocket.
Miserable human life.
Now I am too,
I'm miserable too.
No!
Rocket, Rock, no!
- Rocket, no!
- Rocket!
- Rocket, stop!
- Rocket, stop!
-This is not you!
-Come on, come on!
You're in there, come on!
- No, get off me!
- No!
Get out of here!
My friends...
I failed them.
Maybe I am...
...an asshole.
Why am I here?
Punkie.
She's been protecting me
since day one.
Always teaching me
how to be strong, ...
...to be proud
of our passions,...
...of us.
With me,
Claire,
she lost her entire family
to an asshole,
still she drives us
to be happy,
to be grateful
for what we have.
Honest and strong,...
...her heart,...
...love.
She made us her new family.
So often,...
...I took it all for granted.
Javi,...
...his strength,...
...his bravery,...
...it's contagious.
He left his family
to chase his dreams.
He fought completely alone.
If only,
if only I could have learned,
if only I could have
been a stronger person,...
...a better friend.
Rocket, what's wrong?
Forget them, man.
Rocket, look, you do not
allow others to bully you.
I couldn't stop--
Your thoughts
or change your feelings.
What, that doesn't even make
any sense.
Rocket, getting punched
or made fun of,
that kind of stuff's gonna
happen to you your whole life.
It doesn't happen to you.
Sure it does.
You know,
life's full of it, Rock.
But our choice, our superpower
is how we deal with it.
That's what makes us
who we are.
So you can either
let them get to you,
steal your time,
your happiness,
or you can solve them
like solving a puzzle.
Keep going,
focus your time and energy
on what you want to do.
Get better and stronger for it.
It's like, like leveling up
in a video game.
Exactly.
So what are you gonna do?
Stay on this level?
Never level up, are you?
I'm gonna level up.
My friends.
My family.
I'm sorry.
Get them!
Get them!
Get him, girls!
You got them!
Leveled up.
Mama Bear!
Enough of your bullshit.
Mama's love, even in French.
I hate your team,
I hate you, I hate your mom!
No, Mama, no!
Let go of me!
Mom!
-No!
-No!
Mom, don't talk.
Save your strength, Mama.
You know what?
I hate you, Mom.
I still choose to fight for you!
Shut up, you old hag,
shut up, Mom.
You asshole, go fuck yourself!
No!
Rocket.
I hate you.
Mom, Mom!
- Ssh, ssh, ssh!
- Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Ssh!
You are not to be
s-sorry, Rocket.
I have never been...
No, Mom.
More proud of you.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
You take your friends
and you get them out of here
and you hold on tight.
Okay, Mom.
They-- they fixed you,
and you, you fix everyone else.
I will, I will.
I love you.
I love you, Rocket.
Some things,
you just don't get to choose.
All the assholes turning
into zombies,
having to kill,
even if they were monsters.
Mom, some things
you just can't control.
But being an asshole
or being a good person,
a good friend,
that's your choice,
that you can control.
And now, now that
the world is on fire,
let there be no doubt,...
...there is a point,...
...a choice for all of
those free of this curse...
to join us, to fight back!
She's...
she's alive!
Hm, I know
what you're thinking.
Freak,
geek,
nerd.
We've heard it all.
We're cosplayers.
We're the people you
see rocking everything
from wolf suits
in the middle of summer
to skimpy thongs, mid-winter.
Normies?
Normal people.
They indulge in this life
every Halloween,
but we live it.
We bring our characters to life.
We build our costumes
from scratch.
We stitch, we glue,
we build, we buy, sometimes,
but we rock our cosplay
with pride.
A couple times every year,
we make our pilgrimage
to the cons,
some big, some small,
wearing costumes
of characters you know
and some you've never heard of.
We're ugly.
We're sexy.
We dance.
We fight.
Above all, we live,
through creativity,
through art,
we shape our world.
And while every con is awesome,
this con,...
AnimeCON West is our con.
Small local con to be sure,
but it's the place where we,
the Rocket's Rockets.
We are heroes.
You like it, I know you do.
Zander.
Poser.
Beef?
Original costume choice.
Oh, I see you still haven't been
able to replace this, Rocket.
No, we got something better.
Can't control your little
two-person team here?
Oh, what, what you gonna do?
-It's not worth it.
-Fine.
Good buddy, huh.
Punkie,
it's all good, we got this.
That's right, muzzle your dog.
Hey, asshole,
you need to muzzle yourself.
You need to check
yourself, bitch.
Or what?
Or we'll evaporate you.
Oh honey,
you mean eviscerate.
You're clearly more cleavage
than clever.
That's sass!
Guys, please.
You know,
you're all real so smart
following this piece
of human excrement.
Why are you being
such an asshole?
They came in second nationally
last year
and Rocket's been there.
Been there for who?
For everybody, until he isn't?
Right, leaders don't
leave their teams behind.
Leave behind?
Are you kidding me, Zander?
Mama's Boy!
You know, that's really
rich coming from you, Mr. MIA.
Guys.
Guys.
Yeah, yeah, you guys
are mop rockets.
-Yeah, guys and Rocket.
-Yeah, guys and Rocket.
You know,
you are a real piece of shit.
Oh, here we go.
You're a real piece of shit,
a piece of shit
I wish I could shit out!
Yeah, you can't deny the fact
that you always ride
your mommy's little back.
You and your money, okay?
You have zero, absolute,
not a talent!
One, this is what I think about
that comment you just made.
Two, my mother actually
made your costumes
for quite some time there.
Three, unlike you, I work
my ass off for my money.
And four,
unless you guys are going
for Guardians of the Garbage,
your cosplay sucks.
So suck on that.
Zander's a real leader.
He's so strong.
He's so smart.
Leader, my ass.
You ain't nothing
but a punk, Rocket.
Punk who beat
your sorry ass last year.
Same punk who's gonna
beat it again this year.
Even with you stealing
our concept and routine.
Welcome
to the regional qualifier
for the national competition
here at AnimeCON West!
Now it is time
for our main event,
the thing you have
all been waiting for,
our team competition!
But now, without further ado,
let's bring out our first team.
You know them well.
It's Team Force!
A lone Jedi travels
the inhospitable wastes
of a lost moon
searching for a way
to rebuild his order.
But what's this?
Oh, feel the dark side, Wan-Obi.
I knew you'd be here.
I'm prepared to face you.
I am master!
Master of the Light Side,
here to put an end to you!
We will take everything
from you, Jedi scum.
You may have defeated
my apprentice,
now you have to defeat me.
Your powers mean nothing.
That's right,
ladies and gentlemen,
that was the Force
bringing some cosmic energy
to light this place up.
But now, we have
something special for you.
Two teams, two rivals,
one awesome showdown.
You know who I'm talking about.
And now, without further
hesitation, delegation,
or delay,
let's bring out our second
team and last year's runner up,
it's Team Zander Rules!
-Whoo!
-Whoo!
Guys, guys,
you're gonna miss it,
come here.
-You think they took the bait?
-Of course they took the bait.
Oh, you guys are idiots.
First, we lure them in.
Then we bust out the moves.
With any luck, Zander will
take the bait, post up close,
record the whole thing
and completely rip us off.
-Costumes are dead on.
-But they gotta be idiots
not to see
what we trying to throw.
Oh, no, they took it.
I mean, still?
You gotta be shitting me!
They took it, yep.
When four star-crossed lovers
find themselves trapped
in an enemy's--
-Look how stupid.
-Oh!
- Damn it, Mom!
Claire,
could you please record it?
-Oh, I got this.
-It might be an emergency.
Saving the universe,
they will look so sexy.
It's them!
Zander.
Five, six, seven.
Rules!
Hey, Mom, what's up?
-Is everything okay?
-Yeah.
Mom, I'm backstage right now,
we're about to go up.
You are?
I am so excited for you guys.
Winning this will make
three years in a row.
All right, all right.
I mean, the costumes this
year alone nearly killed me.
Four sets, really?
Again,
I mean, when I was on stage,
I know it's a little different,
but it's all about showmanship,
you know? Well?
Yeah, you know, we're not
talking about that right now.
I can't wait to...
...find.
Love the costumes.
-Rocket?
-Yeah, yeah, sorry, what?
Yes, yes, everybody
loves the costumes, Mom,
you did a great job.
Great.
- So I think--
- Oh, my God!
You know what, Mom?
I'm gonna go post
some more pictures.
No, no, no, you don't need
to make another Facebook post,
not another Snap, Instagram,
I think, I think they get it.
Oh, okay, I love you, baby.
Go Rocket's Rockets, whoo!
Yeah, right, I love you too,
Mom, bye.
Damn!
Okay, that was good, right?
Yeah.
Whoo!
I missed it.
I have it immortalized forever.
Almost makes us feel
bad for them.
Sorry.
And now,
Rocket's Rockets!
Oh, they are gonna be so pissed.
Serves them right,
they shouldn't have tried
to steal our routine.
Let's do it.
Oh, yeah!
I love you, Rocket!
And the team moving on
to the National Grand
Championship is,
drum roll please.
Rocket's Rockets!
- Rocket's Rockets!
- Rocket's Rockets!
Rocket's Rockets!
Rocket's Rockets!
Let's go then, let's go!
Ah, yeah!
We did it, man,
we did it! Yeah!
Rocket, we won,
what's the matter?
-Nothing.
-We won.
Nothing, nothing.
What do you guys think,
roof time?
Roof time,
we should go celebrate.
-Yeah!
-Whoo hoo!
-Hell yeah!
-Whoo hoo!
Hell, let's go!
Man, that shit
was amazing, right?
Two years in a row,
they try and steal our ideas,
two years in a row,
we beat their asses.
It's been two years,
it's been longer than that,
right?
No, man, just two years so far.
- We did it.
- Oh, I love that.
Why are you guys dressed
like that?
All right.
Hey, I only met you like what,
six months ago?
Excuse me.
You'd think that by now,
I'd know not to offer
to buy you food.
- You eat like Luffy.
- Charming.
But wait, when y'all know
how that shit went down?
You need to pay for that.
Hm?
It's good, man, I got it.
He's just standing there
and no good reason.
Hey, I had a reason.
No good reason.
- And what was his reason?
- Oh, I had a reason.
Ninjas, 'cause he won
Ninja Challenge.
Ninja Challenge!
Man, I totally forgot
the switch.
I cannot believe
I forgot about that.
Oh, my God, wait, Javi,
you'd be amazing at that.
Guys, think about all the
different cosplay we could do
with him as different ninjas!
Oh, man.
Have you guys thought
about that?
Snap. You could--
You could be--
you could be you Ninja Jack.
Or Ninja Turtle.
Or one of those ranchers
from Ninja Scroll.
-Or Kakashi Sensei!
-Or Kakashi!
Oh, my God,
wait, wait, wait, wait.
Javi, who do you wanna be?
Can I be Samurai Jack
from that cartoon?
Not just that talk about
Naruto or Basilisk or, or...
Oh, Javi...
"Ninja Resurrection!"
That's what I'm talking
about, bitch.
I want the Green Ranger,
I love the Green Ranger
from "Mighty Morphin."
That would just go through
anything, kicks, jabs,
take them all out.
Oh!
I do, but I do see.
I have the templates,
I have the template.
I have the template,
we can do that, yes.
You guys,
Rocky is already helping me
with the shoulder pad
and helmet.
- Money.
- Guys.
- I see it, I see it.
- Guys.
Yes, yes, yes!
Oh, my God, I can see it.
-This is amazing, yes.
-Guys, guys!
What?
What are you--
What are these things
supposed to be?
Hm, they look like
the homeless tree dancers.
I'm-- I'm sorry, excuse me?
What are you all supposed to be?
I'm-- I'm-- I'm--
I'm sorry, excuse me.
What are y'all supposed to be?
No, I know what you said, bitch.
-Excuse me?
-Girl.
She totally gets me, right?
In other words,
it's none of your damn business,
bitch.
Whoa, what the hell
did you say to her?
Steve,
maybe they're just mad,...
...'cause of this shitty trophy.
Our trophy.
Hey, you can give that
back now, please.
That's-- that's ours.
Hey, Green Lady, uh,
do you wanna get
with my Jolly Green Giant?
What the hell's wrong
with you people?
Oh, this dude thinks
he's hot shit.
What do you think about
going outside, huh?
Taking it outside,
Big Blue Smurf Man?
All right, bitch,
we could take it outside.
I got no problem.
Look guys, will you stop
being complete assholes?
Assholes!
Look, it's cool, all right?
You guys go back to your six.
I'll take the trophy back.
Trophy?
Oh, what's this a trophy for?
Dressing up, looking
like a bunch of weirdos?
Seriously, losers.
Look guys, it literally
means nothing to you.
But for us,
we worked very hard
to earn it, so.
Oh really?
What'd you get this for,
making a costume?
No, I-- I didn't make
this costume.
His mom made it, bitch.
What a bitch.
-I'll take the trophy back now.
-Fine, have it.
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Asshole!
I... I can fix it.
You guys think he'll be okay?
Rocket?
You know, Rocket's gone
through much worse, bro.
I see that.
You know what?
I'm gonna go get our boy
back in shape.
That's right.
Hey, Rocket!
Yo, Rock.
Rocket.
How you doing?
Rocket.
Amazing.
Wonderful,
best celebration ever.
You don't get to be
sarcastic with me, bitch.
What are you still doing
with that piece of junk?
-Will you just leave it?
-Fine.
I'll leave it.
But carrying that chip on
your shoulder ain't gonna do
any of us any good.
They punched me in my eye!
Yeah, you'll live, bitch.
-They insulted you!
-I don't--
Look at what they did
to the trophy!
You think I care
about getting insulted?
They destroyed our trophy!
It's just a trophy.
Can't we get another trophy?
Can you--
It's done, okay, I'm done.
Okay.
Okay, I'm done.
'Cause of a trophy, Rock,
'cause of a trophy?
- Yeah.
- You're sitting up here
melon in this corner
and it's over what?
A trophy, seriously?
What are you talking about,
Punkie?
Don't you see this thing?
It's done.
Bitch.
I'm done!
Yo, we can get another trophy.
But, but this shit,
this shit right here.
This, this shit about
something else, dog.
I try really, really hard.
I know you try hard.
Claire, Javi,
they know you try hard,
but what you don't get, man,
this is not your fault.
I'm not talking about that,
Punkie.
Then what are you talking about?
Being a decent human being.
Common courtesy.
Manners.
It's not that hard.
What?
Well, why-- why should
I turn my other cheek,
when there's just
10 more douche bags
waiting to take their shot
at every corner and turn.
Rocket, don't worry
about them fools, man.
You know,
sometimes shit just happens.
No, no, Punkie,
shit doesn't just happen,
shitty people make shit happen.
All right?
The person that hires you
for a job
and repeatedly tells you
how to do it.
The people hate us...
...for liking something
different.
The meanness for no good
reason, no freaking reason.
Punkie.
Why-- why should I be nice
to them?
Why should I have any respect?
It's just a matter of time...
...before I become
just like them.
All right.
Well...
You can stay here and have
your pissy fit, all right?
But I'm gonna go
be with our friends
and enjoy the rest of the night.
And maybe you could join us
when you stop being
a little bitch
and start showing
some guts, man.
Damn it!
Rocket, where are you going?
I'm tired.
My eye hurts!
I can barely see anything,
I'm going home!
Guess we're all gonna have
to go home then.
That's right.
That's only because we feel
sorry for your ass!
- Not too sorry.
- Let's go.
This is enough
for me to go Super Saiyan.
Super Saiyan three, man.
That was always my favorite
transformation.
Long-haired shit off.
Hey!
- Hell no!
- It's okay.
What you doing, rapist?
-It's okay, it's just he's--
-Come on. Come on.
He's--
No, you don't have to be nice
about this, Claire.
Punkie.
Who goes around in garbage
grabbing people arms like that?
- Punkie.
- Real superheroes?
Are you real superheroes?
Can I please
have the shiny pieces?
No.
So now the homeless kid's
got jokes.
Rocket, chill out.
No, no, I'm-- I'm fine, Punkie,
I'm just-- I'm just laughing
at all the hilarious
jokers I've seen tonight.
We've got Zander and those
pricks from the liquor store
and-- and now this kid,
you know what?
I hope it's freezing tonight.
Claire,
you good?
Yeah, guys, really, I'm good.
-Fine.
-I'm good.
-Good?
-Yes.
-Well, let's go.
-Okay.
-Come on.
-Yep.
All right.
It's all good, Javi.
Hey, Punkie, wait up.
- Claire?
- Yep, I'm good.
You believe this guy?
Getting ready to smack
this guy, yeah.
Technically, we're space
bandits at the moment,
but I like to think that we're
superheroes all the time,
no matter what, here.
Your friend over there,
tell him that
it's gonna be okay.
You tell him that
he can't give up.
Thank you. Seriously, though,
don't mind him.
He's-- he's just had a really
rough night, usually he--
Hello?
-Let's go.
-Okay.
Um...
That's weird.
Come on, Claire.
Okay, yeah.
-Hello.
-Okay, um...
Claire.
Okay, okay, okay, I'm...
-Come on, man.
-I'm coming.
You wash your hands, girl.
I'm coming.
That's what happened.
Hey, let's go.
Punkie, what you looking at?
Go take him apart, girls.
No!
This can't be.
You, this I can't forgive.
Tell me where my sister is.
I'll never tell you.
Why so much blood?
Because he's cut him in
half with a samurai sword.
Oh my God, Claire, oh, my God.
Please tell me it's ready.
- Oh, my God.
- It is ready!
-Oh!
-That is awesome!
-Ready!
-That is...
-Oh my God.
-Oh my God.
-That is awesome!
-You did it again, girl.
-Dodo dodo!
-It's amazing!
I'm so happy
that you guys like it.
Hell yeah, this is awesome.
It is.
The Spandex is incredible.
-Oh, my God.
-And the white piping.
But look at this, Javi.
-Claire, look at the detail.
-I'm so glad you guys like it.
- Look at the stitching.
- You did great.
So no one asked me
about my eye?
Of course not.
That'll be Rock.
Is he still mad?
He's all ducked up now.
This is so sweet.
Oh, what do you think?
I just finished it.
What is it?
What, you know what it is?
Rocket, can you not see it?
It's the green under suit,
the Green Ranger suit,
does it not look like it?
It looks like it, yeah?
- Of course.
- You don't like it, or?
No, it's great.
Wonderful, good job.
He likes it,
he's just still churned up
from the other night,
but he'll come around.
It really does look great,
Claire.
Thanks.
Hey guys, I'm ordering
from GIGO's, who's--
- Me.
- GIGO's, I am down.
I'll take pepperoni.
I need those spicy sausage.
Here's the menu.
- Guys.
- Mm-Hm. You dig.
Guys!
-Pepperoni, yo.
-Mm-Hm.
True that, baby.
Guys!
DEVAN is working,
it's the weekend.
The pizza, however, is on point.
Mm-Hm, true that.
Okay, yeah, you guys
can do whatever you want.
Okay, I'm not answering
the door though, so.
I wasn't gonna ask you
to answer the door, Claire.
Oh, thanks, Rocket.
Hey, what's your problem?
That guy's an utter scumbag,
bottom of the barrel
piece of shit with no hope
at redemption anyways,
but we only need to see him
for like two microseconds
anyways.
DEVAN was the only person
in my life before you guys.
He betrayed me,
he ripped my heart out, okay.
He's a huge asshole
and I don't wanna see him.
What about that
are you not getting?
- Guys, I can--
- Hold on, Javi.
Is this still about the costume?
Did I like not give you
what you wanted?
What?
Because great, good job, Claire.
You've outdone yourself
yet again.
Is that better?
No, that's not, really.
Hey, Rocket man, chill.
Oh, okay, seriously, tears.
What's wrong with you?
You know,
you're being no different
than DEVAN or Zander
right now, mm-Hm.
Did you just compare me
to Zander?
Yeah, you're an asshole!
I don't know
what that was all about.
Why does he have to be
such a dick?
So spicy sauce, Javi.
No, dummy, it was about you.
She used to date them, fool.
Oh.
Guys.
You forgot?
Yeah.
Guys, hey guys.
Hey.
Oh, man.
Guys, I can get the door.
But so look, we gonna
get the lowest pepperoni,
lowest sausage, lowest veggie.
Assholes took my parents.
Assholes ruin everything.
Uh!
I hate assholes!
Damn it all,
get this thing moving.
Get those rockets ready.
On it, sir.
I hate assholes!
I wish all the assholes
in this world
would just turn into zombies,
so I could just kill them!
What?
What the?
What the hell?
Whoa!
Whoa!
Whoa, whoa!
Are you serious?
-Did you--
-Seriously?
Did you feel that?
What?
What?
Sorry, that was weird.
It just started, man.
- Wasn't it?
- Shut up.
Use the experimental
ammunition.
See, Javi, man, you gotta
get with this shit, man.
Look, look,
look at the quality in the art
and the characters.
It's cool, I mean,
I just only ever got
like "Dragon Ball Z"
growing up in Mexico.
Yeah, that sound like
some third world shit there.
Pizza's on the way.
"DBZ" is on only the tip of
the proverbial anime iceberg.
You know that, right?
Oh, well, yeah, but
we also have "Saint Seiya,"
you know,
"Knights of the Zodiac."
Basically, the guys have their
powers based on their sign,
their zodiac sign,
it's really cool.
Especially, you know,
you get all your powers
depending on your--
What?
What?
Right, right, I mean,
I do love the "Mech."
No, what about "The Toe?"
What's "The Toe?"
I hate "The Toe."
Oh, you ain't serious?
I'll be right back, gang.
Oh man,
I'm gonna get you "The Toe."
Now you getting
into some real anime.
Shit!
Yes?
Um, look, I'm sorry that
I forgot that you and DEVAN--
No, no, no,
it's okay, it's okay.
Are you sure?
Yeah.
Okay.
When's the--
when's the pizza get here?
Ah, says he just parked.
Okay.
It's pizza time.
Hello, DEVAN.
-It was the power!
-That's right.
Hurry!
Amazing, right,
fastest turnaround yet,
didn't even have to see
his face.
Hey, pizza.
Pay no, pay attention, man.
You wanted "The Toe," right?
Right.
Well, you...
We did it!
Yeah!
Claire.
Ssh!
Guys!
Yo, what the hell, Rocket.
Did you not pay this fool?
I did, I mean, I checked it,
the cash will all be there.
This dude did, Rocket.
I'm gonna show him
who the number one,
unpredictable, knucklehead
ninja really is.
Oh!
Son of a bitch!
Get him off of me!
Chomping all over my damn self!
Punkie!
Help me up!
Incoming!
Shit!
Oh, shit!
Now!
Now, do it now, Claire!
Put that shit down,
what are you doing?
Claire, Claire!
Oh, my God!
Claire!
Holy shit!
What are you doing?
What are you doing, Claire?
Oh, my God!
Have you lost your mind,
Claire?
Guys, I'm worried.
Oh, you're worried, huh?
-We're all worried, Claire.
-Yeah.
Guys, I feel like we need
to have a serious conversation
about what just went down.
Guys.
Oh, Claire, you stabbed
that guy right in the head.
And the heart, Claire.
I know.
I know, we had a rather
unagreeable conversation
about your ex-boyfriend earlier,
that for which I am sorry for.
But Claire,
please let me speak.
Stabbing people is not
the ideal go-to solution
in these circumstances.
-Claire, Claire!
-Rocket!
Claire. No, Rocket, wait.
Now Claire, doll, what happened?
I think, er, I think,
I think I've turned him
into a zombie.
Zombie?
Hey, not a normal zombie
though, like--
You, you-you did what now?
Um, I,...
...er, you know,
like the zombie thing...
It should've been like a normal
zombie, but it didn't die
when I stabbed it in the head,
so like a zombie thing, okay.
You mean like dead people alive,
flesh-eating kind of zombie?
Yes, but no,
because he's like a--
like a zombie thing.
Okay, because he should've
died when I hit him in the head
and he didn't,
so a zombie thing, okay.
Do you mind elaborating on that?
Sorry, I'm sorry,
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, okay!
The magic rock
started glowing,
and I wished for all
the assholes in the world
just to become zombies.
This thing that showed up
was way more evil,
so I really like,
I really, really,
really think the whole world
could really be in trouble
because of me
and I don't know what to do.
Okay, so um, magic rock, um,
all the assholes.
What are you talking about,
Claire?
From the mystic man, okay,
from the alley last night,
he gave me this magic rock
and it started glowing
and I just,
I wished all the assholes
in the world
just become zombies so I
could just kill them, okay,
and be destroyed, I didn't
think that it would come true.
I just like, you know, I was
angry, just talking out loud.
You know, like you're angry,
you talk out loud and...
All right.
It puts a whole new
meaning on the phrase,
"Be careful what you wish for."
I am telling you
the truth, okay, I know--
I know you're telling
the truth, Claire,
that-that is what terrifies me,
because you,
you're either bat shit crazy
or the entire world is...
Do you...
Do you know how many assholes
I encounter
on a day-to-day basis?
But Claire, it's...
That's a lot of goddamn
zombie things
that they got running around
out there
or whatever you wanna
call it out there.
That's what I'm trying
to tell you guys.
We have an extremely
big problem, okay, guys.
We already, we already
got DEVAN and-and Zander
and those assholes
from the other night.
You put that together,
that's a lot of goddamn zombies!
- Zombies.
- I know.
Exactly, and then you got
that bitch in my Pilates class
and then those assholes
and then you got Mr--
you got Mr. Reynolds
from next door.
Mr. Reynolds from next door!
Yeah, Mr. Reynolds
from next door.
He's like a huge asshole!
I hate that guy,
that guy stole
my favorite tank top.
That was my favorite shirt.
Why were you so mad about it?
-Crazy!
-Guys,...
...new plan, all right,
we're gonna go next door,
we're gonna pay
Mr. Reynolds a visit.
If he's a zombie,
then Claire's not
a psycho murderer.
You know,
I like the sound of that.
And what if he's not a zombie?
Yeah, what if he's not a zombie?
Then that's the corpse of
a regular human being outside
that we killed in self-defense.
That's right.
Right, it was self-defense.
-Why not?
-It was self defense.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I think I seen some of
that on the deep web.
What is the deep web?
It's like a totally
different kind of internet
underneath the internet.
Hey, you gotta stay
away from that stuff.
It's crazy, it's like
exploring in caves or something.
-Yeah, yeah, I saw the video.
-No, Javi.
This guy that broke into
a family's home
while they were having dinner,
and I think he stabbed him
with a fork.
Hold on, I got you, Rock!
Get up now, Rocket!
Get the swords out,
get the swords out!
Get the swords out!
Punkie!
Punkie, come on!
No, no, no, you gotta stab it!
Punkie, hold on!
Javier, go!
You're not a nice man,
Mr. Reynolds!
- Oh, God.
- Holy.
Oh, my God!
Jackpot.
Yeah, yeah!
Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Holy shit, what!
I got this.
Move, I got him, all right!
That's how you do it, shit!
Javi, it's the heart, bitch!
Oh, oh, my God.
Look what you've done, Claire!
Oh, it's okay.
Oh.
good job.
Oh, good job.
Oh, God, that is so gross.
Come on.
Whoo!
What you want me to do
with this shit, Rocket?
On top of DEVAN.
He stinks so bad.
Come on, let me help you.
- Push, push!
- Come on, man.
I don't wanna do this
any more than you do.
Rocket,
why you got us doing this?
Why you don't do?
- One.
- It touched my leg.
Two, three.
- So gross.
- Oh, my God!
It stinks.
-So bad.
-Oh, man.
-Hoo, that was bad.
-It stinks.
That was so bad.
So bad.
Oh, we're not the only ones
who noticed
the zombie thing outside.
Let's check the news.
Grab some melons
and support your Local
LA Farmer's Market.
Find your Local
Farmer's Market.
Good afternoon,
I am Adriana Martinez,
filling in
for Melissa Rodriguez.
Hi, my name is Ralph Peterson,
filling in for Phil Kruse
alongside my co-host here.
Los Angeles is up in flames.
Well, nationally, we look good.
Of what officials are calling
-... homeless vagrants.
-About the local.
You!
You must be your own
hope in this situation,
because no one is coming
to help you!
Police, fire--
You mean just, Christ,
every asshole in the city?
Oh, my God!
- They killed me!
- Oh, shit.
With their bare hands!
Great,
so the whole city are zombies?
Wait, does that mean that
everybody in LA is a zombie?
Just the assholes of LA.
And you can mostly count
anyone who might've been bitten.
God, what have I done?
Why do they have to be zombies?
Zombie, zom-zombies, Claire,
that-that-that's
what you've done.
Guys.
Family, is there anybody
that you need to warn?
Uh, my family's in the middle
of nowhere in Mexico,
but they're all
pretty good people,
so I think they'll be good,
but no phone.
Mine are not but honestly,
I'd be more concerned
for the damn zombies.
Claire?
You know.
Right, yeah.
I'm sorry.
What about Big Mama?
I'm gonna call her, but first,
we need to lock this place down.
Javi, check the downstairs.
Punkie,
could you check the front?
-On it.
-Claire, get the windows.
Got it.
Hey, we'll make sure
our mama's all right, okay.
Well...
Pick up.
Pick up.
Pick up, pick up.
Hey, sorry I couldn't get--
Shit!
Don't forget to
follow the Rocket's Rockets
on Facebook and Instagram.
Hey, Mom, it's me,
I was just calling to make sure
that you were safe and...
...we haven't talked
since yesterday.
What do you want us
to do now?
What do you want us
to do now, Rocket?
What?
Not you, Mom.
Jav.
Well, there's,...
...there's no good way
to explain this, I...
- Hey, Rock.
- Can you just call me back...
...as soon as you get this?
Rock, Rocket,
you gotta see this, man.
Los Angeles seems to be the
only city thus far affected.
I love you.
Rocket, you gotta see this.
The spread of rage
through the population.
Experts believe it to
be brought on by anger
about unfair wages
and economic constraints,
while others
are claiming Hollywood
has the more Hollywood problem.
Our own Ryan Spitz
is in LA.
-Are we all locked up?
-Yeah, nice and tight.
I got the downstairs door.
-Did you get a hold of Big Mama?
-No.
You gotta call her back,
Rocket.
Wait, is Big Mama okay?
I don't know, Javi.
I'm sure she is.
Ain't nothing gonna take
down Big Mama, come on.
Damn it!
No, no, this is-- this is
the worst possible city
to be in right now, okay,
there are assholes everywhere!
Pretty sure she's good, Rock.
Right now, as I speak,
somebody's probably chewing-
Will you calm down, man?
Get a hold of yourself, Rock.
Listen to me, we gonna get
Big Mama, we gonna get her.
But right now,
we need to make sure
this place is secure,
all right?
All right.
-Okay?
-Yeah, yeah.
-All right?
-You're right.
Now what you wanna do next,
Rocket?
You're right.
Hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, what's next?
We need to lock this place down.
Oh no, no!
I'm sure we'll
be able to re-establish
that connection
in just a moment.
-All right.
-Let's get to work.
All right, we've got nine
collectible sword katanas,
two wrenches, a screwdriver,
two chisels, two hammers.
Couple of knives.
There's a saw over there.
One last thing of toilet paper.
We've got one of these things,
that and we're high.
You're high?
High in this unit.
Oh.
All right, we're situated
on the top two floors,
which is already two
floors above street level
mixed with the fact that
there's only two
accessible entry points,
both sealed doors,
means we should be good until
we need to make a supply run.
But with everything here,
we should be good for a few days
'til the madness
out there calms down.
Oh, nice!
Where did you get
all this stuff from?
End of the world prep, baby.
I get all wrapped up in the
prepper YouTube channels.
Welcome to this week's
episode of "Survive."
This week's topic,
we're gonna go with sustenance.
because without sustenance,
you cannot survive,
do you hear me?
You cannot survive, sustenance.
Now I like this one
because it is a non-GMO.
A waste of money, man.
-Well, this is what--
-Wait!
As Los Angeles and the country
seem to be getting worse,
the federal government has
declared a state of martial law
and has warned all
citizens to stay indoors,
as the now confirmed
outbreak begins to spread
outside the border
of Los Angeles.
All right guys,
check this stuff out.
-And this.
-What?
-Pretty cool, huh?
-What?
Where did you get this, Javi?
I bet an entire YouTube video
on it.
Okay guys, today is the day
you've all been--
None of you guys watched it?
- Javi.
- Seriously, guys?
Hell yeah.
These things tight, Javi.
Hell yeah.
Wow.
Okay, discount magic rock
that turns the world to shit,
zombie apocalypse is
completely impossible.
Survival weapons, survival kits,
this is why you two
never have any money.
What?
This just in from our
desk from Atlanta, Georgia.
The CDC
has officially confirmed
that the riot happening
in Los Angeles
is due to an infection.
Except for right now,
I guess.
And has now officially
been dubbed the outbreak.
Good job, Punkie, Javi.
Excellent, yeah, so now
all we need is water.
Is that from this building?
I got like four or five
gallon jugs just chilling.
This just in.
Cool, cool.
The internet is down.
We use this place to fire
from in case they get
inside the complex.
Barricade the doors.
Heck,
we should be able to hold out
until the worst part is over.
Yeah, what part is that?
The initial rush for supplies,
it's panic out there,
people fighting people,
people fighting zombies,
pure chaos.
Well, I guess it's good
we're up here then,
safe and secure.
Yeah, that's right,
I would not wanna be
street side right now,
that would literally
be the absolute worst.
This is the emergency
broadcast system.
The cable just went out.
Repeat, this is not a test.
The Center
for Disease Control--
What about wifi?
The outbreak of a new
virus strain that is causing
the infected to--
LT is up but don't have wifi.
Wonderful.
At least it's something.
-I guess.
-All right, well,...
we stay here
until this thing blows over,
until we figure out
how to undo Claire's curse.
Really?
Come on, girl,
that shit wasn't no blessing.
Look guys,
we're perfectly safe here.
There's no reason
to leave this apartment.
Answer the door for no one.
We stay here,...
...we will survive.
Mom!
Honey,
what's going on out there?
You know, it sounds like
that time when the, er--
Mom, have you been bitten?
Bitten?
Have you been bitten?
Bitten?
I've never been bitten.
You know, it sounds like
sirens and all kinds of stuff.
What's going on?
I mean, Ralph's car alarm's
been going on
for the past two hours.
Mom, could you just stop
and listen to me real quick?
You need to listen to me.
You know, I don't like
your friends anymore.
They come over here
asking me to sew costumes
and you don't even come over
and visit your mother.
What are you talking about,
Mom?
You gave us
our costumes months ago.
What are you talking about?
They were just here
picking them up.
Could you just lock
yourself in your room?
Don't yell at your mother.
Mom, please, please.
All right, but we're not done
talking about your friends.
You know, they're starting
to act like little assholes,
they come to my house,
ruin my floor
with that sticky,
corn syrupy, fake blood stuff,
and then they chase me
out of the house,
lock me out of the house
before I can lock them
out of the house.
You take these games
way too seriously.
I mean, a healthy dose
of imagination--
Mom.
That's good.
Are you locked in your room?
Ugh, yes, Rocket.
Okay, is the window closed,
got bars on it and everything?
- Ugh!
- Please, Mom.
Yes and I even called
the police to try to get them
to come turn
Ralph's car alarm off.
Of course, nobody answers
and then with that,
between you and your friends
and the craziness.
What do you mean, friends,
Mom?
What do you mean,
what do I mean?
Your friend Zander
and Rocket's Douches.
They come over here,
they get their costumes
touched up,
ask me to make new ones,
I'm exhausted.
Mom, those--
those aren't my friends, Mom.
They're the ones that
are stealing our routines and...
...I told you about them, Mom!
Oh no!
How did they trick me
like that?
Oh gosh,
I'm so sorry, Rocket.
Those little snakes.
I didn't know, they asked me
never to mention it.
Is that why you didn't call me
last night?
It's okay, Mom,
it's not your fault
you didn't know.
It's just...
Mom, look, don't worry
about Zander and them,
they're just a bunch of...
Mom?
Mom!
I'm sure she's okay.
Mama, hello?
Mama, hello Mama.
I'm sure her battery
just died, it always does,
she never charges her phone,
she loses it always, you know.
-I'm gonna call her back.
-What happened there?
Relax, deep, deep breaths,
it's okay, it's okay.
-She's fine.
-Is this okay?
-See, it's--
-She's...
Hey, she's fine, okay,
it's Big Mama.
- Please, okay.
- Rocket, she's fine.
I'm sure, she's always
by herself, she's always fine.
Rocket.
Rocket, I'm pretty sure
she good, man.
- Rocket.
- She's, Rocket.
-Do you think she's okay?
-I don't know.
- What are we gonna do?
- We have to do something.
-I don't know.
-We have to do something.
I don't know what to do!
What are we gonna-
Just let me think, all right.
Oh, my God.
I don't know
what we're gonna do,
but we gotta do something.
We're just gonna have
to go get her.
Let's go.
I'm game.
I hope so.
Mom.
No, it's Punkie, bitch.
Man, get your shit on
and get your ass upstairs.
We about to go save
Big Mama now.
Punkie, you--
Javi, you want a hand
with something?
- Peanut butter?
- Yeah, yeah.
Cool.
- Wax jacket?
- Cool, I got this shit.
Hopefully he's ready to get
his Levi Ackerman on, right?
Nice one.
What are you guys
doing in your costumes?
We about to go to work,
bitch.
That's right, Rocket.
That's right, amigo.
Put that on,
put that shit on, man,
because you don't look like
no leader
in that thick ass jacket.
No, because this is cosplay,
all right?
It's not gonna protect you
from anything,
because it's a costume.
Get your head outta your ass,
Rocket.
Now, we're about to go
across this godforsaken city
and we gonna fight
whatever shit be out there,
because we believe.
Punkie.
No!
Shut up.
Listen to me, all right.
We believe in you, man.
And we love you
and we love your mom.
She's been like a mom,
she's been like a mom
to all of us, dog
and we wanna help.
Let us help you, Rock.
Let us help you.
-Wait.
-No.
These costumes,
these costumes, man,
these costumes,
these costumes, Rock,
they're not just material
to us, man.
It's the characters
and what they represent.
It's the love that
was put into making them.
It's the power and the strength,
the strength that they have.
These are not just costumes,
these are our uniforms.
This is our all
and we believe in it, man.
Like we believe in you.
Well, they're not done yet.
How about an upgrade?
Oh, shit.
Be quiet.
All right, guys, ssh!
Just be quiet.
Ssh!
Are we using a car?
No, how many assholes do you
think drive in LA every day?
Every single one of them
would've turned into zombies
at the exact same time, okay.
We have to find a path
off the beaten trail
and away from other people.
Right and we can't just run
through the middle of the city.
Do we use bikes?
No, we go under.
There's a network
of old abandoned tunnels
that run under LA.
If we take a specific
electric tunnel
into the city civic corridor
and make a right into
the trolley tunnel,
that should get us here.
How do we get in?
The entrance
is the first gated warehouse.
Our hookup at the roof told me
they've never locked the door,
it's just always been
rusted shut,
so we should be home free.
We can pry it open.
Man, you're one smart kid.
Thanks.
How do we get there?
Like above a highway
or something?
True that.
Not if we go this way.
We cut through the park,
we skip congested
downtown areas,
highways, the freeways,
all the on and off ramps.
It's gonna spit us out just
a few blocks from the warehouse.
Park should be dead, so there
shouldn't be any walkers
in the warehouse,
it's in the middle
of a industrial area
in the middle of the weekend,
that should be dead as well.
Well, it would be,
wouldn't it?
You know, dead.
All right, once there,
we can go through here
and follow the overflow canals
to here
and enter the tunnels there.
Where did you get that map?
City contract, baby.
Huh.
It's our best chance to get Mom.
Now, let's gear up,
move light and be safe.
All right.
Yeah, guys, remember,
we don't know how strong
or fast these things
are or if killing one
is gonna bring on even more,
okay.
Bring them,
DEVAN was way too hard.
Even taking down Mr.
Reynolds' old ass was a bitch.
Yeah, it did look so
much easier in the movie.
Look, just focus on avoidance,
okay?
This is EVA foam tailored
fit to each of you.
Punkie, did you paint these?
Shh!
Hell no.
I never saw these things
before, obviously.
They were supposed
to be for our next con.
I think it's sweet.
I like it.
Right, so it's light
and it shouldn't take
more than a bite or two in
the same spot, all right?
We should be able to
outpace them, right, Claire?
Yes, sir.
Good,
I mean, just pretend like
it's a Halloween run.
We should be fine.
Hell yeah.
Let's go get Mom back.
Let's do it.
Let's go, let's move.
Come on, guys.
Is it right or left here?
This way, this way, guys.
Did you see that?
Rocket, where's your kit?
It's in's Javi's bag.
This bag?
Okay, let's go.
This bag?
Come on.
Javi, grab that shit.
Grab your own damn gear.
- Ssh!
- Quiet down, quiet down.
Oh, I'm so tired.
I can't believe it,
we're gonna run into
a zombie herd!
Don't mess
with our juju, Claire.
- Move, come on, move!
- Come on!
Go, go, go, come on!
Help me!
Rocket!
Just-just help Rocket!
Hey!
Come on, man,
let's get you outta here.
Guys, help me!
Guys, I dropped my light,
oh, shit!
Guys, I got my light!
Javi, guys! Shit!
Shit, shit!
Going!
I'm not built
for long distances.
Damn, man!
Bitch broke my costume.
Oh, he dead.
He's dead.
- You good, Claire?
- Yeah.
- Rocket, you all right?
- Rocket, are you good?
Bitch broke my costume.
Oh damn, damn, damn!
Yeah, what else, baby?
- You do the heart?
- You get the heart?
We got the heart, we good.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Yeah, you fat bitch.
Shit.
- Rocket, you all right?
- Yeah.
Oh yeah, you all dead
and shit, bitch.
How you doing, Rocket?
It's dead right?
Good, the entrance,
it's right ahead.
- Come on, guys.
- Okay, come on.
Come on, come on.
- Good job.
- Let's go, baby.
Claire!
Let's go, baby, come on,
there could be more.
Hold on, guys.
Come on, Javi.
Javi, come on.
Open it now, they're coming!
Please!
-They're coming now!
-Javi, come on!
Open that shit!
My God!
Get out of my way!
-Run!
-Run!
-Good job, guys, come on.
-Where do we go next?
Come on, guys.
-I can't see.
-Which way, Rocket?
-Come on, hurry up.
-Straight, straight, straight.
We're here, we're here.
Okay, so we're gonna, okay,
we're gonna block this,
we're gonna go right,
and then we're gonna go--
We can't stop here,
they're coming.
Come on please, right here.
Guys, come on, where do we go?
We go through a big
constructional corridor.
Guys, okay!
- Don't tell me to--
- Let him talk.
Let's go, that door's
not gonna hold them!
Go left, guys, come on, left!
Then right, right!
Faster!
I think we're still on track.
You think?
Let's recharge for a bit,
next leg's gonna be worse.
Don't say that.
Look what they did to my helmet.
Hell, I got you.
Here, put this on.
We just need to go through
the green rail.
Straight through
the north, right.
Come on, come on, guys,
come on.
You ready?
But if there's too many
zombies...
Come on!
Come on, move, move, run!
Come on, hurry, come on!
- Hurry up, hurry up!
- Run!
Come on, Javi.
Come on with this shit.
No.
Oh, shit!
-What?
-Sorry.
I left the bag of weapons
back there.
You guys, come on, come on.
-What do we do now?
-I don't know.
-Come on.
-What do we do now?
Guys, they're coming.
Where do we go?
I don't know.
Shit, Rocket.
What are we supposed to do now?
I'm thinking,
I'm thinking, I'm trying.
No, no.
Fuck it.
- Which way do we go?
- I'm trying, I'm trying.
Guys, guys, come on,
I said come on.
-Shit, just be careful.
-Get up, get up!
Go, go, go!
Come on!
- What you got?
- I don't know.
It's a map.
Man, cellphone out.
Cameras never have passwords,
too easy.
Hey, they're spelunkers.
Hey, check it out,
check it out.
-Oh, shit, here?
-Yeah.
Take it up, oh, where are we?
We're supposed to be
the center right?
I got it, I got it.
Guys, guys,
I got it, I got it.
Oh, whoa, whoa!
Dude, do you smell that?
Dude, what is in there?
You were supposed
to bring the beer, right?
Oh, come on.
Oh, my God,
they're turning into zombies.
Wait.
Are they still here?
Oh, my God!
Rocket!
Get out of my way,
get out of my way!
Take my sword,
take it, take it!
- Do it!
- Hurry up!
Holy shit!
You got it.
Rocket! Rocket!
It's coming!
Oh my God,
it's happening, no!
Javi!
Javi, no!
Javi, no!
Hey, over here!
Javi, don't!
Don't do it, Javi, please!
Guys, we're never
gonna get that door open!
-Javi, no! Javi!
-We'll have to go outside!
Javi, get back here please!
What are you doing?
I'm not just an appetizer.
I'm the main course, bitch,
let's go!
Let's go!
I'm a ninja warrior, let's go!
Javi, come back,
please don't go,
please come back!
Javi!
Oh, my God, Javi!
Why'd you have to go there?
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, my God!
Oh, where am I?
Okay, trapped, oh!
Come on, you ugly bastards!
Come on!
It's been 15 minutes.
What do we do?
We wait for Javi.
-Mom is--
-We wait for Javi.
My mom is still out there.
Javi is still out there.
We don't know that.
That's cold,
you're so cold right now.
How could you be
so selfish, Rocket?
What?
Look, we, we appreciate
everything that you do for us,
but seriously, Javi just
gave his life for us, okay,
like how could you be so selfish
that you forget about him?
Is that what you think?
You think that I feel nothing
for Javier?
How could you even say that?
'Cause you just
wanna save your mom, Rocket.
No.
To believe that
my mom is okay,...
...I need to believe that Javi
can take care of himself.
Okay, that's what
keeps me going.
This, this morning I woke up
and my biggest problem
was some stupid Black guy
and a worthless mangled trophy.
And I sat there running through
every scenario in my head
where I could actually
kill each and every one
of those pricks from the
liquor store the other night,...
...and I actually enjoyed it.
Right now,
they're probably munching
on some poor bastard's brain...
...and the truth is, I,...
...I feel so sorry for them.
Everything that they were,...
...everything that they could
have been is gone forever,...
...reduced to corpses,...
...and one of my best friends
in the world
just offered himself up
to those things,
so that we might have a chance
to get through this thing alive.
So you're right,
I am selfish,
selfish because I'm not
out there with him,...
...selfish because
I'm still here.
What?
What are you talking about?
The biggest asshole of them all,
I hear everything that I say,
everything that I do.
No, no, you're wrong.
- I'm sorry, I'm so sorry.
- You're wrong.
You're wrong, you're wrong.
How could you mean that?
What do you mean?
Look, in there,...
...you feel that?
Listen to it, won't you?
What you talking about?
You still have
a heartbeat, Rock,
that mean everything you are
and everything you can be,
everything is still there.
It's still there.
Javi knows that.
He knows that, right.
And then we get Mama.
20 minutes.
What?
20 minutes,
we're gonna go find
Javi ourselves.
Dead or alive.
20 minutes.
20 minutes.
Oh, my God!
-Look at you!
-Oh!
Oh, I'm glad to see you.
-Look at you.
-How did you escape?
They made me work for it.
Oh, my God.
Man, man,
I'm so glad to see you, man.
-Glad to see you guys.
-Javi.
Javi, you good?
-Get over here.
-Oh.
Hey, now let's go get Mama,
baby.
-Ssh!
-Where's the key?
Be quiet.
-Where's the key?
-Find the key.
You don't have a key?
Rocket, please tell me
you have a key.
- Rocket.
- It's right here.
Okay, good.
It should be here.
Got it.
You guys still have your swords?
Oh damn, I kind of left mine
with that big bastard
back there.
No, mine is long gone.
Always going, babe.
I hope that they're not here.
We're coming, Mom.
Let's go.
Let's get Mama.
She said she was in her
room when the phone cut out.
Let's move.
Ssh, just keep moving.
Mom.
Mom.
Mom.
Guys.
Guys.
Mom, are you in there?
Big Mama?
One, two.
Three!
It's about time,
the neighborhood is...
Oh, my God, look at you,
what happened to your eye?
Oh, my God,
where have you been?
-What's wrong?
-Rocket, we gotta go.
Rocket.
Wait, Javi, gotta, please.
What are you doing?
What--
what's happening, Rocket?
Zombies everything, it's bad.
- Zombies, what?
- It's my fault.
I wished upon a magic rock
and I turned every asshole
in LA into zombies.
So really, it's--
it's everything.
-Sorry, it was an accident.
-It was an accident.
She didn't do it on purpose.
What are you...
what are you talking about,
zombies?
Uh, you mean the walkers that
are in that
male soap opera show
with the two sexy cops,
two sexy police officers?
"The Walking Dead?"
-Yes.
-Yes.
Ssh, ssh, ssh!
Is that my sliding glass door?
What was that?
I told you guys,
I saw something back there.
Shit, you think
something's out there?
Yeah, I locked your
sick friends out there
after they came in
and dirtied up my carpet
with all that stupid fake blood.
Remember the last time you
made the zombies go boom?
It's Zander.
And you know, and--
and the killing
the zombies thing,
it was a disaster.
Shit!
Javi.
Come on, get back.
What the hell you doing?
Breaking my door and getting
that crap all over my floor.
-They can't understand you.
-I wasn't born yesterday.
What you wanna do, Rocket?
Rocket, what do you wanna do?
Rocket?
Yeah, what do you
wanna do, Rocket?
Rocket?
We have no choice.
-We have to kill them.
-Kill them?
Always consulting
your precious Rocket.
Did I miss something?
Zander?
Claire,
are they supposed to be able
to do that?
No, no, no,
they're definitely not.
Go to your room, Mom.
Rocket.
Just do it.
No, Mama Bear,
why don't you stick around?
We'd love to have you
for dinner.
Go to your room, Mom.
Mom!
Be safe, Rocket's Rockets,
kick some ass.
Enough!
What is going on here?
How do you think they speak?
We walked, bitch.
The bigger the asshole,
the bigger the zombie.
Oh, so much more than
a zombie, little Rocket.
We are the pure manifestation
of evil
of our very own Eden.
It makes no difference to me.
- Rocket!
- Rocket!
You good?
You piece of shit!
Leave him alone!
I'm in charge, bitch!
- No!
- Son of a bitch!
I'm in charge now.
Rocket, you okay?
Rock?
Come on!
Rocket, Rocket!
You piece of shit!
You bitch!
You bitch, bitch!
Claire!
Javi!
Why is always the sexy
ones that are crazy?
Javi!
No, Punkie!
Claire, no!
Rocket!
Can't wait to taste you,
Rocket.
Asshole!
Rocket!
Rocket!
-Rocket!
-Rocket!
I feel so much stronger now.
God,
this feels so much more amazing.
I'm so much stronger now.
You are one of the biggest
pricks that I know.
Let my friends go.
No, little Rocket.
Soon.
Rocket!
Shut up back there!
Soon you will be like me.
I will never be like you.
Stop lying to yourself.
You and I are exactly alike.
The only difference is that
you mask your true nature.
You're a bonafide asshole,
one of the biggest
and the best that I know.
You are just
a manipulative prick.
You used me.
No!
No.
My friends!
You're just a voice in my head.
Yes!
Now it's me and you.
Shut up back there!
You're nothing like
your friends.
You can fight it!
Let them go, girls.
Rocket.
Fight it.
The reason you're there
and I'm here
is because the world
went to shit
the moment everybody
turned into a zombie.
The world's full of assholes,
we are the majority.
Accept it.
Every single moment
of your life,
you tried to do
the right thing, Rocket,
like making zombies that
were assholes get respect.
No.
Guess what, Rocket?
The world is shit.
That's right.
Bon appetit, bro.
Welcome to the club.
Fight it, Rocket.
Miserable human life.
Now I am too,
I'm miserable too.
No!
Rocket, Rock, no!
- Rocket, no!
- Rocket!
- Rocket, stop!
- Rocket, stop!
-This is not you!
-Come on, come on!
You're in there, come on!
- No, get off me!
- No!
Get out of here!
My friends...
I failed them.
Maybe I am...
...an asshole.
Why am I here?
Punkie.
She's been protecting me
since day one.
Always teaching me
how to be strong, ...
...to be proud
of our passions,...
...of us.
With me,
Claire,
she lost her entire family
to an asshole,
still she drives us
to be happy,
to be grateful
for what we have.
Honest and strong,...
...her heart,...
...love.
She made us her new family.
So often,...
...I took it all for granted.
Javi,...
...his strength,...
...his bravery,...
...it's contagious.
He left his family
to chase his dreams.
He fought completely alone.
If only,
if only I could have learned,
if only I could have
been a stronger person,...
...a better friend.
Rocket, what's wrong?
Forget them, man.
Rocket, look, you do not
allow others to bully you.
I couldn't stop--
Your thoughts
or change your feelings.
What, that doesn't even make
any sense.
Rocket, getting punched
or made fun of,
that kind of stuff's gonna
happen to you your whole life.
It doesn't happen to you.
Sure it does.
You know,
life's full of it, Rock.
But our choice, our superpower
is how we deal with it.
That's what makes us
who we are.
So you can either
let them get to you,
steal your time,
your happiness,
or you can solve them
like solving a puzzle.
Keep going,
focus your time and energy
on what you want to do.
Get better and stronger for it.
It's like, like leveling up
in a video game.
Exactly.
So what are you gonna do?
Stay on this level?
Never level up, are you?
I'm gonna level up.
My friends.
My family.
I'm sorry.
Get them!
Get them!
Get him, girls!
You got them!
Leveled up.
Mama Bear!
Enough of your bullshit.
Mama's love, even in French.
I hate your team,
I hate you, I hate your mom!
No, Mama, no!
Let go of me!
Mom!
-No!
-No!
Mom, don't talk.
Save your strength, Mama.
You know what?
I hate you, Mom.
I still choose to fight for you!
Shut up, you old hag,
shut up, Mom.
You asshole, go fuck yourself!
No!
Rocket.
I hate you.
Mom, Mom!
- Ssh, ssh, ssh!
- Mom.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Ssh!
You are not to be
s-sorry, Rocket.
I have never been...
No, Mom.
More proud of you.
Mom.
I'm sorry, Mom.
You take your friends
and you get them out of here
and you hold on tight.
Okay, Mom.
They-- they fixed you,
and you, you fix everyone else.
I will, I will.
I love you.
I love you, Rocket.
Some things,
you just don't get to choose.
All the assholes turning
into zombies,
having to kill,
even if they were monsters.
Mom, some things
you just can't control.
But being an asshole
or being a good person,
a good friend,
that's your choice,
that you can control.
And now, now that
the world is on fire,
let there be no doubt,...
...there is a point,...
...a choice for all of
those free of this curse...
to join us, to fight back!
She's...
she's alive!
