Land of the Dead Page #4

---

I wouldn't be so sure.

They learned

how to work together.

They're mindless

walking corpses...

and many of us

will be, too...

if you don't stay focused

on the task at hand.

Zombies, man.

They creep me out.

Do you really think they

can get across the water?

If you asked me that a week

ago, I would have said no.

But now...

One way or the other, we got to

get our hands on Dead Reckoning.

There's more of them

out there.

I can hear them.

They're always out there.

You're all right?

Yeah, no problem.

Woody's in there.

Who's got the keys, guys?

No keys to get. Melted.

Screw the keys. Let's just

hot-wire the f***ing thing.

Yellow to red.

What the f*** does a Samoan know

about hot-wiring a f***ing car?

Fifty thousand cars stolen

in Samoa every year.

Yeah? Well,

a million in Detroit.

Detroit's got 50 million cars.

Samoa:
50,000.

Every one stolen.

Charlie.

Why do you lick your rifle?

It catches the light.

What light?

How can you see anything?

Good eye.

Hey.

Charlie?

Sh*t!

Off-center, but I got him.

Awesome, man.

Got a flashlight?

Yeah.

Brubaker?

Hey, Brubaker?

Brubaker, you there?

Hear that?

Yeah.

All right, keep that thing

shining. Let's get ammo.

There's. 50 caliber

around here somewhere.

Great. Here's the. 50.

Jesus Christ.

No, not in here.

Think about where we are.

Take a breath.

Choose your shots.

We're even.

Not.

That hurt. I didn't hurt you.

I got it.

Oh, God.

Is he bit?

Yeah.

Go!

How long does he have?

Had a little brother bit. He took

less than an hour before he turned.

And then what happened?

I shot him.

You said nothing bad

ever happened to you.

That happened to my brother.

Yeah. Dead is dead.

And that ain't you or me.

I'm sorry.

No! No!

I recognize that

some of you are concerned...

and I wanna assure you...

that if anything goes wrong,

measures have been taken.

I've established outposts

with food and supplies...

that will support us

on our way.

On our way to where?

Anywhere that we want to go.

Alternative sites have been

chosen for us and our families...

as well as

necessary support personnel.

What about all the others?

All the others

can be replaced by others.

Boss.

You're interrupting me, Bill.

It's bad timing.

Just when I was talking about

how people can be replaced.

A day may come when you earn

yourself some responsibilities.

But right now

the responsibilities are mine.

They're all mine.

It was my ingenuity

that took an old world...

and made it

into something new.

I put up the fences

to make it safe.

I hired the soldiers

and paid for their training.

I kept the people off the streets

by giving them games and vices...

which cost me money.

But I spend it because

the responsibility is mine.

Now, do you understand the

meaning of the word responsibility?

We have to do

what we have to do.

Foxy, I know

I'm never gonna be great.

I'm never gonna be on the list

of names of people...

who done great things

because I don't do anything.

Not one thing.

If it wasn't for this truck,

I wouldn't be any different...

than that poor Mexican bastard

out there.

Cholo, look,

Kaufman might not pay.

Kaufman's gonna pay, man.

But if he doesn't, he knows

I'm gonna do a jihad on his ass.

When you hit

Route 6, take a right.

How do you know

which way to go?

Homing device.

Cool.

How long

since you been out here?

I've never been out.

I've lived in the city

since it was a real city.

Pull over.

Cover them, Charlie.

All right, you're working for

Kaufman, I'm working for Kaufman.

My job is to stop Cholo.

Your job is to bring the truck

back, with or without me, right?

Not without you, no.

Well, that means yes.

Here's what's going to happen.

I'm going to do my job.

You're not going to get to do yours.

Kaufman is never going to see

Dead Reckoning again.

And when I get it, I'm

gonna do what I want with it.

Anyone has any problems with

that, you can get out right here.

Some choice.

No choice. Close door.

Keep them covered,

Charlie. Wait.

You made us come

all the way out here...

just to steal a f***ing truck?

You made a deal, Riley.

You're going back on a deal.

You never done that before.

If Cholo shells the Green,

all deals are off.

If something worse happens,

I don't know about you...

but I don't want to be

out here in a car without a roof.

Mouse, you got anything?

No boat, no money, no nothing.

Load the six-packs.

Six-pack loaded.

All right, load the other six.

We're not gonna show them

any goddamn mercy.

I know where

Cholo's going. Where?

Mount Washington,

overlooks the city.

We can beat him there.

In that truck, he's

gotta take the main roads.

We can take the back streets. Right.

Make a right on Ivy, then

take a left on Westminster.

You wanna go up the hill?

Yes, I'm wanna go up the hill.

Let's go up the hill.

Almost midnight, sir.

Pack us up.

We might be leaving.

In the boat?

I'd rather be taking

Dead Reckoning...

but not available.

From this hillside,

they can shell the Green.

They're gonna be coming up

this road.

Pull in around the corner.

All right, they're coming.

You guys stay here

and keep real quiet.

I'm going to try

and talk my way inside.

He's going to steal that truck

and leave us here.

Riley would never do that.

Just look at him, you can

tell he'd never do that.

I like that man.

You, go help him.

Go.

Everything's okay back there.

It's too late

to send me back.

Now, put that thing away.

Put on your best Sunday smile,

and just try to look friendly.

I am friendly.

Hey, Cholo.

Take a look at this.

It's Denbo and his idiot.

All right. Stop the truck.

Come on, here.

So, how did you get up here?

In the Woody.

I tracked you with this.

Forgot to tell you...

the truck's got a

little transmitter in her belly.

You were always a smart guy.

Always a lot smarter

than me, man.

That's not saying much.

Open up.

What, are you f***ing nuts?

Open up.

Hey, Charlie.

So, who's the smart one now?

Thought you would have quit...

but here you are still working for

the man, aren't you, Riley?

What? Kaufman sent you up

to take care of me?

Yeah.

Takes a true friend to stab you

right in the front, doesn't it?

That man pulls the trigger,

he's dead.

Who else is out there?

Kaufman sent some guys with

us. We took care of them.

Cover him.

Pretty Boy,

lock in the target.

We're running out of time.

I got you now.

You hit

that tower square on...

you're gonna kill

a lot of innocent people.

You miss, you hit the city, you're

gonna kill a lot of our friends.

Want to know

who killed our friends?

Kaufman is the one

that's killed our friends.

Every time I took out his garbage,

I took out one of our friends...

people he wanted

off the streets.

He turned me into a goon, then

he's gonna piss all over me?

I don't think so.

What are you gonna get

out of this, Cholo?

Hopefully my money.

Money burns.

Yeah, not if it's in a vault.
