Survival of the Dead Page #2

Synopsis: In the Plum Island, off the coast of Delaware, the long feud between the families of the patriarchs Captain Patrick O'Flynn (Kenneth Welsh) that intends to eliminate the zombies and Seamus Muldoon (Richard Fitzpatrick) that intends to keep his undead relatives waiting for a cure culminates with O'Flynn expelled from Plum. Meanwhile in the continent Sarge "Nicotine" Crocket (Alan Van Sprang), Chuck (Joris Jarsky), Cisco (Stefano DiMatteo) and Tomboy (Athena Karkanis) are plundering and seeking a safe place to stay. When they rescue the young Boy (Devon Bostick) from group of sadistic hunters, Boy decides to join the group and suggests them to head to Plum Island since he had heard a O'Flynn's broadcast inviting people to move to the island. When Sarge and his team arrive in the island, they are attacked by Muldoon's men and they see that the place is crowded of undead. Sarge's friend Chuck is killed and they decide to fight against Muldoon.

It's funny.

Turn it off now.

I hear something.

That ain't far off, come on.

Hey look at this.

Maybe there's money inside.

Money don't mean sh*t anymore.

Money will always

be money, my friend.

If you have a lot of money

at the end of the world

you can buy yourself a nice

condominium in heaven huh.

Ring around the Rosie.

Come in on four sides

and once we're there

make some noise.

- Move out.

- Let's go check it out.

- I thought she had ya.

- I thought so too.

I thought I was dead.

- I nailed her ass didn't I?

- Sure enough did.

Who was she your momma?

Sh*t.

How many you out there?

Youre out numbered

and out gunned Holmes.

Set that iron down.

You'se gonna have to make me

set it down there mandrake.

Oh, crap.

Is there anyone else inclinded

to point a gun at me?

That's good.

Cause I don't like shooting

people I don't know.

Well, maybe we should

get to know each other.

Who the hell would

want to get to know you?

- Two.

- Even I can count better than that.

- Three.

- Three is company, senor.

Four. Is a crowd.

Oh, crap.

What the hell's that?

Oh, that.

That is just some

fun we was having.

Fun?

Them things out there,

they was chasing us so

we done something about it.

Oh, God.

Why did you do that?

They come after us like I said

all in a pack like.

They come after us

so we killed them.

That's right.

There are a lot of way

you can kill somebody.

For example, if I wanna shoot

you in the head, I'd use this.

Now if I wanted to cut you up

into little pieces, I'd use this.

But then I might blow

up a chunk of the forest.

If I wanted to blow

up a chunk of the forest ...

... I'd use one of these bad boys.

But you know what?

I'm thinking I might

save that for a rainy day.

Yeah, you do that bubba ...

Don't shoot please.

I'm not one of them, I swear.

Kenny, stop.

I just came along for the ride.

That's a lousy bunch of friends

to be riding around with.

Lousy times make lousy people.

Are you?

Lousy people?

- No.

- Yes

I'm not choosy.

You forgot to finish the job.

You're dangerous, kid.

But not as dangerous as me.

You coming or we

leaving you behind, huh?

Just give me a minute.

What are you doing?

- Stealing their sh*t?

- This is my sh*t

they stole it from me.

What do you think?

Maybe we should take this.

It is better than

those open air Jeeps.

We're going to need keys.

One of those dead guys

back there must have them.

Not anymore.

Probably nothing in it anyway.

Who would be stupid enough to

leave a bunch of money sitting

in the middle of nowhere?

Those guys look

like geniuses to you?

One million, three hundred

and thrity three dollars

- You count it?

- No, it's written on a ledger.

Can you give us the key?

You can have this key.

It starts the truck.

I would like that one.

I don't think so.

Well we are not going to stand here

waiting for this kid to take a sh*t

Cisco. Drive.

Hey, Cisco wants to

know where we're going.

We will be hitting I95 soon so

we have two choices, North or south?

South.

- Who died and made you king?

- Just a suggestion.

Don't make any suggestions, all right?

North, Cisco.

Can I ask you why?

Going north we got a better

shot of getting closer

to no place.

Yeah, we don't want no place.

We want some place where

the sh*t can't get at us.

Like where?

Like an island.

Where are we gonna

find an island?

Let me see...

Maybe in the ocean?

Don't be a wise ass, kid.

Sorry.

Have you guys ever hear of

this guy, Captain Courageous?

Who?

Online, this guy

- You call that a computer?

- It is a computer

Piece of sh*t, PC.

I think it's cool so there.

That is not cool, this is cool.

Friends, I am going

to keep this simple.

See this isn't a sales pitch,

there's nothing in it for me.

My ass, that ain't a

sales pitch what is it?

This think that's come down

on us, whatever it is

Don't seem to be able to answer

these questions, but it's terrible

So I am inviting you'se to

come on over and join us.

Come on over to Plum.

See it's an island off

the coast of Delaware.

Route 1 to Belford

Follow the signs

to Slaughter Beach

If you get here I promise

you will be welcome.

It's a small place,

small and under control.

That part sounds good.

So, think about it.

Come on over.

It's got to be some kind of a scam.

What else can it be, huh?

So this guy finds

some place to escape.

Just what we're

all looking for.

Yeah and if we find it I'm not going

to advertise for people to join us.

It's worth a try.

What do we got to lose?

I thought we agreed that we

are better off on our own.

Ain't got us very far has it?

I don't want to sign

up with anybody, Kenny.

I'm f***ing finished

with signing up, man.

F***.

F***. F***. F***.

That was not cool.

Sarge is just blowing off

a little steam is all.

I never signed up with you

you never signed up with me.

We stick together

because we know.

I take a bullet for you

and you take one for me.

I'd never take a

bullet for anybody.

Sarge, going to this island ain't

like signing up with Uncle Sam.

Maybe it's just ...

... the smart thing to do.

So what's the call?

North or South?

South.

Oh, I got a big one.

What the devil was that?

Someone's coming, Captain.

There's nobody around.

When a place looks this empty...

... probably not empty at all.

Hello, there.

- See what I mean?

- Nice truck.

You got the crown

jewels in there?

Ain't nothing in

here but us.

We found this

truck on the road.

Somebody else cleaned it out.

Youre a big old

bull shitter Sarge.

We're looking to get

over to Plum Island.

You've come to the right place.

I can let you have a rowboat

or one with a motor.

How much for the motorboat?

- All that you got

- How much for the rowboat?

- All that you got.

- Sh*t.

This is nothing but an

old fashion stick up.

Sucking people in here so

you can take what they got.

Things were going pretty

well until you showed up.

Deadheads.

You come out now or we'll

blow your asses all to hell.

As long as we stay in here you

aren't blowing our asses anywhere.

What are we dicking around for,

let's just drive the hell out of here?

Don't think about driving out of

here the road is mined with TNT.

Lying f***.

Might be a f***

but he wasn't lying.

There's no way out.

Yes, there is.

We can drive on to that thing.

You just want the money.

I have never been about money,

I have always been about staying alive.

and this tank gives us

a shot at staying alive.

The truck may be our saviour,

but it won't drive on water.

Well someone is going

to swim over there ...

... meaning me, and

start that boat up.

What if it won't start?

What if it's out of gas?

Then we're sh*t out of luck.

Cisco, back up to the edge of the pier.

I'm going to open the back door.

Cisco, I said back up.

I know how to drive a boat.

Do you know how

to drive a boat?

Yes, I can figure it out.

I don't need to figure it out.

Senor, boats they
