Survival of the Dead Page #3

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.

Yeah, you never thought

to try yours did you?

Well you better try it now.

Well boys, may you get to heaven a few

seconds before the devil knows your dead.

Okay, I got you.

Come on.

You're lucky I'm me.

The others would have

left you drown.

In that case I am indeed lucky.

- Which way to Plum?

- East, due east.

The man says due east.

Due east? Due east

is the Atlantic Ocean.

Yeah, well, let's hope

there is something in between.

Everything is mouldy.

Except these.

You remind me of my daughter.

Yeah? Is she out on Plum?

Far as I know.

Good something for both

of us to look forward to.

Oh, you are ah...

Ah, yeah.

I'm ah ...

- You got a problem with that?

- Not at all, not at all.

You.

I can't help you this time.

How do ya do,

my name is Patrick O'Flynn.

Back on the dock you would have

killed us as soon as look at us.

Well, you know I am the sorta fella

who always has something up his sleeves.

I could kill you right

now if I wanted to.

I could kill you.

Yes you could, yes you could.

I guess it's all about who

pulls the trigger first.

Why do I like you?

Well I've been told by a few

not all that Im a likeable man.

We are all on the same side.

Those of us living.

- I ain't on your side.

- ah, but you are.

You just don't know it yet.

First things first.

We got to make sure there is no

walking garbage on this scowl.

Careless of you not to have

taken care of it right away.

Heads up.

You want some junk food?

Are you okay?

Si, si, for sure.

You didn't get bit while

you were swimming, did you?

No, I didn't get bit.

In fact, I did some

biting on my own.

One of those things

tried to grab me ...

... and I bit off

one of his fingers.

You swallow any blood?

No, I don't thinks so.

There was a lot

of water yeah, but ...

... blood, I don't think so.

Tomboy, get your ass down here.

Bring the licorice sticks.

Most of them got out.

This one got out

a different way.

Got one here.

They're getting smart.

Smart?

That thing remembered

how to start his car.

Yeah, but he will never

pass his driving test.

I think we got it all cleaned up.

Thanks a lot for your help.

I guess there is no profit

in knocking off dead people?

This ah, island

you been selling.

Many out there?

It is. it's a lovely spot.

Lovely spot.

But I am no longer welcome.

Why? What did you do?

Nothing to deserve what I got.

Yeah sure I am a bandit

and now I am a thief.

Not so bad these days when there is

nothing but thieves some of them

are drawing down big salaries for

just being clever at their craft.

Me, I never drew a salary.

I always relied on how many

fish wandered in to me net.

Now you cast your

net on the Internet.

Lot of fish in them waters.

I just can't believe we are

taking a gamble on some guy who

lies easier than a bed sheet.

Land, ho.

Drop anchor.

Drop anchor out here?

I thought we were going ashore?

Not with this barge there's

no deep water harbours on Plum.

We'll take the dingy

it will be better.

Nobody will see us coming.

Sh*t.

What did I do?

We should go.

We can just make

it before daylight.

Stick it in here like this.

What are we in for?

Folks will want to be

left to their own way.

They don't like strangers.

You're not a stranger.

Oh some think of me

as worse I'm sure.

Especially now.

You see an unusual number of

strangers have been landing

on Plum the last few weeks.

on boats they got from me.

Your pitch on the net

why did you do it?

To annoy a certain gentleman

who thinks he owns this rock.

And believe it or not, to help people

to find a better place to live.

So what happened between

you and this gentleman?

We had a little disagreement...

...about whether or not to

expand the island cemetery

Pussyfoot.

Hey, I'm keeping up

with you old man.

No not you, that's

the name of the River.

Pussyfoot cause it's a

p*ssy of a river.

This side has always

belonged to the O'Flynns

The other side...

...Well, I'm sure you be meeting

some folks from the other side...soon.

This here's the back

way over to my spread.

I'm hoping my

daughter will be there.

I had a bit of a disagreement

with her before we left.

But she's still an O'Flynn.

It seems like you been having

disagreements with everybody.

Hey.

When a place looks this empty it's

probably not empty at all, right?

See what I mean?

Mailman is all.

There hasn't been

any mail for days.

Look.

And over there.

See what happens?

Keep them with you, he says.

Except their not really

with yeah are they?

Not when you have

to keep them in chains.

Whos keeping them in chains?

They've seen us give me a gun.

Never could shoot

straight the bastards.

What bastards?

- The ones shooting at us

- The Muldoons.

I think there is only

one of them out there.

Kenny get down.

Oh, God.

I got 'em.

Crap.

You said you would never

take a bullet for anybody

Youre just what I

always said you were.

A big old bull shitter.

So there.

Hey.

Sh*t, Kenny.

No, no.

Why did I bring you with me?

I'm so sorry, buddy.

I'm sorry.

Why did I bring you with me?

F***

You f***er.

- She is beautiful.

- She's dead.

She's my daughter.

She's your daughter?

She was.

Will you let me up, please?

Hey, you okay?

Of course I'm not okay?

I'm shot, for Christ sakes.

Given the fact that you've

been shot are you okay?

Yeah, I'll live.

Mother of God.

On me own property.

All of this...

...used to be mine.

The land around us,
