You will put them in quarantine, and then we'll all be safe.

Now that I have your attention, you say you want to form a new country.
Please do not build it on fear.
You got vigilantes out there that are sending messages of hate.
You're only alive because of each other.

Looks like Henry Krinkle, MD, here, was at a plastic surgery convention in Orlando.
Ooh, damn, Dr.
Krinkle.
Looks like time's treated you rough.
Might be time for a tune up.
This one looks like it's from old America too.
None of these zombies are ours.
Okay, so how did they all get up here? And why didn't the Black Rain bring them back? [MOANING.]
That sounds human.

[SLICE.]
[BREATHING HEAVILY.]
Where are they? They could be anywhere.
No.
We need to think strategically.
You mean think like Nana? Yeah.
What are you doing? I'm getting into Nana zone.
The panic room at Northern Light, that was like an out of the way closet, right? Was it? That's where she would go.
So you think that Nana knows the closet layout of the Pacifica library? She likes to hide her tobacco stash.
- All right.
After you.
- Okay.
[GROWLING.]
[CLANKING.]

[YELLING.]
I need bizkits! - She's starting to turn.
- [MOANING.]
[MUFFLED VOICES.]
Bizkits! Hey, what do you wanna do here? [MOANING.]
We could just leave them.
Let nature take its course.
Nature? Look at them.
That's no kind of life for anyone.
Right.
Hey.
I'll do it.
[MOANING.]
[MOANING.]
Hey, look at me.
Look at me.
Cara Jones, I give you mercy.
[SLICE.]
[GROWLING.]
If I shoot it, probably will blow up.
Pike it, might fall on the timer and trigger it.
[GROWLING.]
Oh, shit.
They killed all the books.
People are dead.
People who were just living their lives in what was supposed to be a safe place.
New And now everybody is scattered because we just can't trust Talkers anymore.
You know that's not true.
Doesn't matter what's true.
It matters what people believe.
Listen.
We cannot stop fighting for what we believe in.
- What we believe in.
- Yeah.
What we believe in.
What do we do now? We save who we can.
And we find out who did this.
And we get your damn country back.
We still have friends out there.
You maybe wanna go find them? Hon.
Gorilla grape flavor.
My boy's been this way.
We're coming, baby! JZ! Where are you, buddy? JZ! Where are you? - Momma? - Good work, babe.
Yeah.
We'll be right there, baby.
Momma! Momma! [GROWLING.]

Ah, man? [GROWLING.]
Come here, you damn Z bomb! [GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
No, don't fight him! He's gonna blow! [METALIC SCRATCHING.]
Here, zombie, zombie, zombie.
[METALIC SCRATCHING.]
Here, zombie.
[GROWLING.]
No, no! Go back! Call him! Call him back! - Hey! - Come on! Over here! [GROANING.]

[MUFFLED MOANING AND COUGHING.]
Jesus.
Hey, hey, a little help here.
Goddamn apocalypse.
- Kaya.
- I see her.
It's okay, baby.
- We'll take care of you.
- [MUFFLED.]
She's turning! - Just come with us now, okay? - [MUFFLED.]
Someone help her! What do I do? What do I do? I'm out of bizkits.
Hold her down.
[MOANING.]
[GASPING AND MOANING.]
[GASPING AND MOANING.]
Mercy her! Someone! Before she bites us all! She just needs a bizkit! We don't have any bizkits! Mercy her! Move! [SMACK.]
If we would have quarantined the Talkers, none of this would have happened! It's not safe here! It's a Talker uprising! Only I don't see any of our Talkers out there among the bombers, do you? Where have you been this whole time while we were under attack? Actually, I was busy dying.
And what about the Talkers who fled? You all plotted this together, didn't you? All I see are zombies out there and the humans that they turned.
Zombies.
That's who attacked you.
- Not Talkers.
- But who sent the zombies? I bet your friend Dante knows.
He might.
He might also be dead.
I know a lot of you think our dream here is over.
Talkers and humans can't live together.
I'm not giving up on Newmerica.
Not yet.
You're gonna get us all killed! Talkers are not humans! I just don't feel safe here anymore! They're scared.
And they should be.
We got to find Dante.
We need to find who's doing this.
Indeed.
[TRUCK ENGINE RUNNING.]
It's Altura.
They came.
Hey! Over here! Hi! Altura.
Must've heard Kaya's SOS.
They're here to take people away.
Yeah, well that's a good thing, right? They're here to help.
Thank you so much for coming! Thank you.
Thank you.
No.
Not all the people.
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
Uh-uh, uh-uh.
No wounded.
What do you mean no wounded? We have a right to safety just like anyone else.
Those are our orders.
Humans only.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
I said humans only.
No, man, I'm not a Talker.
Hey, no, wait.
No! No! [TWO GUNSHOTS.]
You shot me! And yet you're still talking.
Sorry, but you stay.
There are no bizkits here.
We're gonna What, what, what? Turn? That's exactly why you can't come with us.
No, no, no.
No books.
It's okay.
It's okay.
You go.
These will be here when you get back.
If any living humans want to seek refuge in Altura, we leave in five minutes.
Five minutes? But the books Archives That's not enough time to save everything.
We're not here to save books.
We're here to save humans.
If you're going, you need to leave now before it gets dark.
We can't keep you safe here after that.
Listen here, bro.
Why don't you give them one hour and let them save what they can? Let's go.
Three minutes! Hey.
We're sending Nana and JZ to Altura.
They'll be safer there.
We're not giving up.
We're staying.
You're right.
They'll be safer there.
You should go too.
What? Look, the first attacks happened there.
We want to know who's behind this.
I think someone needs to be on the inside.
Good thinking.
All right, boss.
We can do that.
Deuces.
Deuces.
Hey buddy, we're going on a trip.
Anyone else going? Any humans? No? Suit yourself.
Let's get this over with.

[BEEPING.]
[TRUCK ENGINE IDLING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
[HISSING.]
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
So much destruction.
And now everyone, humans, are scattered in the wind.
I really don't want to leave it like this.
Stronger together, right? Isn't that what you say? I did.
That was just an idea, really.
A hope.
Maybe that's not enough anymore.
Come on.
Hope is Sometimes that's all we got.
And sometimes Hope is all you need.
Yeah, I think you were nicknamed George for a reason.
You know, sometimes a great idea is worth more than you think.
Here.
That'll keep you going.
Thank you.
Okay.
I'm ready to go now.
[GROWLING.]
[GROWLING.]
[TRUCK ENGINE STARTING.]
What do we have here? Looks like Homer, yes.
Greek Mythology.
That'd be over by Yolanda.
Here's three more.
Guess we all go green eventually, right? All right.
Give them black leaves.
At least now they won't be forgotten.
Would've been nice of Dante to leave me a message.
Hey, maybe he did.
We're definitely on the right track.
That's a trail marker.
Safe passage for the Talkers? Hopefully.
- We better get there first.
- Indeed.
