Life After Beth Page #8

Synopsis: A hike alone in the woods ends tragically for Beth Slocum with a fatal snake bite. Her death leaves her parents and boyfriend Zach reeling. After the funeral, Zach tries to make friends with Mr. and Mrs. Slocum, but even they reject him, and he's determined to figure out why. Then he sees Beth. Her parents are trying to keep her resurrection a secret, but zombie Beth provides Zach with the opportunity to do everything with her that he didn't get to do while she was still alive. But with Beth's increasingly erratic behavior and even more strange occurrences around town, life with the undead Beth proves to be particularly complicated for her still-living loved ones.

No, no. No.

I, uh...

I'll always love you, Beth.

Forever.

I love you too, Zach.

Good bye.

Where are you going?

- ZACH:
Hi, Mr. Levin.

- All right, you made it. Good. Come on.

You hungry? We got bagels.

They're frozen, but they're good.

Uh, no, I'm fine.

Mom! Dad!

- JUDY:
Zachery?

- Mom!

Oh, my God. Zach, my baby. Oh!

- NOAH:
Oh, you okay?

- I missed you guys so much.

- Oh, my God, are you hurt?

- There's blood all over your shirt.

Yeah, it's Beth's.

- Okay, so thank God you're okay.

- Yeah.

I love you guys so much.

Oh, honey, we're so sorry we didn't

believe you about the monsters.

- We didn't know.

- I know. It's okay. It's okay.

It's just really good to see you.

- That's going to come off.

- My shirt's a mess.

Hey, come here. Look who's here.

Huh?

JUDY:
Zach.

ZACH:
Oh.

Hi.

I stuck a tent pole through my Nana's head.

She's a bit traumatized,

but she'll be okay.

Doesn't she look good?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, right?

Where's Kyle?

Right here. 1600. You made it.

Punctual.

That's good.

I did what I had to do.

Where's my Desert Eagle? I thought you

were gonna give my Desert Eagle back.

- Oh, well, I tossed it into the ravine.

- Why?

- I need my gun.

- I thought you guys had bazookas and sh*t.

You're such an a**hole.

That cost me a lot of money.

Look, I'm sorry, okay?

I used it to murder my girlfriend.

I didn't really feel like holding on to it.

Hey, look, we need to

focus on what is next.

- Exactly.

- All right.

Everybody, listen up.

I've got some provisions.

I think we need to get far away from here

where the zombies can't get to us.

We cleared this sector, Zach.

We're safe here. Don't worry about it.

- Like where?

- ZACH:
Machu Picchu.

- Macho what?

- JUDY:
Where's that?

- Zach, we cleared the sector.

- Kyle, stop interrupting your brother.

- Act your age.

- Macho what?

Machu Picchu. It's remote and safe.

Look, I've got a map.

I think if we take side streets

and sidewalks

- along the I-5...

where there are generators and water.

There have been reports coming in

of some unresolved incidents,

but these appear to be isolated cases.

Uh...

Just to rehash,

things appear to be back to normal

after what is certainly

the most curious series of events

to befall this community since the...

(CAR HONKING)

Zach, we should get going.

The contractor's gonna be

at the house any minute.

ZACH:
Okay.

In the back. Get.

You Okay?

Yeah.

I think so. Are you?

Yeah.

I'm kind of hungry.

Yeah, me too.

Um... Do you want to go to dinner?

Yeah. I mean,

do you want to get something?

- Yeah, if you want to.

- ERICA:
Okay.
