Survival of the Dead Page #5

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.

All I'm doing is

what he commanded of us.

I'm going to try

to convince you...

to help me to do

the Lord's bidding.

All right, it's all right.

I got you, I got you.

Come here.

It's all right.

It's all right, baby.

All right.

It's me, Jenny.

It's me.

It's me.

Boys!

Boys, get her out of here.

Get her out of here.

You're dreaming.

Wake up.

Im sorry, she's.

You need to wake up.

There's two of them.

I have a twin sister.

Janet and Jane, the two Janes

they used to call us no one

could ever tell us apart.

Of course it should be

easier now that Jane is dead.

An where is he now?

My father.

He took off.

A while ago.

To do what?

To run up some old friends.

Lord save us.

What happened to

Cisco and a Tomboy?

Don't know.

I haven't seen them since...

My father is a liar.

Maybe not a liar.

But my father sees the world one

way and so does Seamus Muldoon.

Both of them about as spite full a

pair of fools as the Lord ever made.

Well, I'm siding

with your old man.

Why?

I got my reasons,

you got one too?

- What reasons?

- he's your father.

Never, he was never

a proper father

and now he's back and with

you and your guns with him

and he is about to

start World War III.

Hello, daughter.

Hello, Dad.

You don't have to come with us.

It's never been your fight.

Let's go.

Right now?

Right now.

- We're waiting for Cisco.

- and Tomboy.

Muldoon's got her.

Can't be sure but it's a good bet

his got that Mexican too.

Are you sure youre

okay to do this?

Done worse and done

more kid, let's go.

Dad.

She's really a babe, huh?

You're too young

and I'm too old.

She's got issues, kid.

- We'll see.

- Dad, please.

Go back Janet.

You can't kill him. He is the only

reason why you are still alive.

What?

I'll catch up with you. James.

I always wondered.

Why he didn't shoot me that

night when he had the chance?

It was you.

You talked him out of it.

And for what?

Now you're going to die

anyway and so is he.

Seamus Muldoon is spit on the

floor that needs to be mopped up.

I mopped your spit off the

floor a hundred times.

And I dug the furrows and

I chopped the wood and I...

I buried your wife when

you were nowhere to be seen.

And all the while it was Jane; always

Jane was the one that was in your heart.

She and you were the only children

in the house and me the only grown up.

Listen to yourself; you're

stubborn and wilful as I am.

Of course I loved Jane.

But I loved you just as much.

Or more, because

you were another me.

Back to the house, Janet.

See you there later, or not.

What are we stopping here for?

Let's cross the bridge.

I got a feeling.

We should be crossing the old

Pussyfoot somewhere else.

You're going to cross

right here, Patrick.

Get out of here, kid.

Go back to the boat, take the

money out of the safe and go live.

Looking for this?

Now get out of here.

Don't be shooting them, boys.

They get shot, they drop

that pole and she's meat.

I'll pop the deadheads then

we can pop the rest of them.

Yeah and Muldoon

pops your friend.

No.

I owe something to that girl.

Lay down your guns, boys.

You're lucky I'm me.

Come across the bridge.

All of you.

Leave your guns behind.

Bring them all

to Chuck's place.

- Hey, you okay?

- Yeah

- Where's Cisco?

- He's in Heaven.

Telling the Virgin Mary

he can change her life.

This might interest

you. Patrick.

Look in the corral there.

We tried this with

a lot of the deadheads.

Dear Lord.

We tried to feed them

rabbits, squirrels, pigs.

This time we're gonna

try something bigger.

Since it's your dame

in there, Patrick

I figure you might better

understand what

I've been trying to do.

Trying to keep

the fallen with us.

Can't ever do that unless we can get

them to eat something that ain't human.

It's important ...

... not just for us

but the rest of the world.

God is going to send us all

to hell and the devil will

surely send us back again.

if we don't do the right thing.

Chuck, let the others

out of the stables.

Let them see what's going on.

Who knows? Maybe they'll

learn something.

Boys.

Oh, Christ.

I'll make you a deal, Patrick.

If your daughter here takes

a bite out of that animal.

You'll admit that I've

been right all along.

That's all I ever wanted.

It's for you to

admit that I'm right ...

.. and you're wrong.

You do that much and you and

your boys here are free to go.

Thanks for the offer, Seamus,

but see I can't go.

Not with business undone

What business?

Well, for one thing...

... I ain't killed you yet.

I'm feeling a little differently.

Well, then.

Well then we'll just settle

in here and see what happens.

What would you do with

one million dollars?

My sister is never gonna

do nothing to hurt that horse.

What can we do?

I brought that up

from where you left it.

Thought you didn't

want to start a war.

I don't, I'm just

trying to even the odds.

What's going on up there?

It's me, Chuck.

I've brought them

back the guns.

Well did you now?

Now, you all have guns.

First one to pull the trigger is

gonna cause a whole lotta bleeding.

- Likely so.

- Let them go.

No.

I won't go.

Seems like your daddy is bound and

determined to stick it to me.

Just like I'm bound and

determined to stick it to him.

You won't be sticking

it to anybody

not when we're

through with ya.

Hey.

All you guys got are a bunch

of rusty old pea shooters.

Well we got this.

F***.

Well, Mr. Muldoon

Looks like someone

else is hiring.

Chuck.

Chuck, where the

hell are you going?

Nobody walks out on me.

Look like she wants something.

Me.

She knows me.

Jane.

You b*tch.

You f***ing b*tch.

I've been bit, Dad.

This is all your

doing, Muldoon.

Take cover you stupid f***.

Go, go, go.

You can stop this.

You can stop it right now.

Not a chance in the world.

Come and get me.

Come and get me.

This way.

Over this way.

Guess whos coming

to dinner, Muldoon.

Son of a b*tch.

Come on.

Here's your last

shot, Muldoon.

Let's get out of here boys.

Come out you skunk.

I've got one bullet

left, Muldoon.

Come out so I

can give it to you.

I've got one left too.

Say you was wrong.

Say you was wrong and

I've been right all along.

Right?

Does any of this look

right to you Seamus?

Dad.

I've seen everything

die around me.

Now I'm dying.

I don't want to think

of you as dead too.

Seamus, I'll go so far as to say

I have seen the error of my ways.

Now if you we'll excuse me, I'd like

to spend a moment with my daughter.

No.

You bastard, Muldoon.

It's over.

Let's go.

Move.

She did it.

One shot left.

Wait, wait.

It happened.

What happened?

My sister, she ...

She said I wasn't

strict enough.

to shoot one of my own.

I did it.

Didn't I?

- You okay?

- Right as rain

Good luck to ya.

Let's go.

Here's a boat.

Look.

There's a world out there

and there's money out there.

The reason we came

out here is because

we'd thought it would

better than any place else.
