:::::SCENE 1:::::
*August 9, 2017*
*55.6% voted that it is every survivor for themselves*
As the alarms over the Revco government building ring throughout the community, a massive horde of zombie stalks towards the front entrance. Fear washes over the group of residents and intruders. Richard looks over to Meredith and the two share a nod before standing up.
RICHARD: Everyone, seek shelter now! Equip yourselves and be ready to fight!
DARREN: You don’t give orders around here, Dicky!
RICHARD: There is a horde coming! If we don’t move there won’t be a community for you to take from. Killing me or anyone else right now would only waste resources you need to survive.
Darren takes in Richard’s words before letting out a grunt.
DARREN: Get that entrance closed. Now!
Finn races for the entrance followed by Lena and Holli. The three of them quickly close the entrance just as the horde begins clawing at it.
RICHARD: It’s not going to hold! Everyone seek shelter now!
——Cut To——
Meredith and Braxton race over to Reina and Jeremy, who they help up.
MEREDITH: Head to the church. There’s a bunker with supplies. Here’s the key.
Meredith hands the key to Jeremy who nods and quickly ushers Reina towards the church. Meredith turns to Braxton with urgency in her voice.
MEREDITH: Ofelia has dead down there, but they are in a cell.
BRAXTON: She has what!?
MEREDITH: Do what you have to do. Get Krista and hurry down there.
BRAXTON: What about you?
MEREDITH: I have a few things to settle. Go, I’ll be fine.
Braxton nods and rushes toward the clinic. Meredith looks towards the government building and spots Luca on the roof looking down. Anger fuels her to race towards the building.
——Cut To——
Jeremy ushers Reina into the church where they find Zelma and Naomi standing near the pulpit. Zelma holds a baby boy in her arms as Naomi holds the toddler, Penny.
JEREMY: The bunker. Where is it?
NAOMI: Who are you?
REINA: Please, we don’t have time. Meredith gave us the key.
NAOMI: I can’t just let you down there.
JEREMY: In case you haven’t noticed, a horde of the dead is coming our way so I suggest you show us the bunker before none of us can use it!
At the sound of his raised voice, Penny turns and looks at Jeremy. He sees her face and immediately looks like he’s seen a ghost.
JEREMY: Penny?
PENNY: Da-da. Da-da!
The women watch as Penny smiles and reaches for Jeremy, who begins sobbing. He rushes to her, but Naomi pulls Penny away.
JEREMY: Give me my daughter!
NAOMI: How do I know it’s true?
JEREMY: You just heard her! I thought…I thought she was…
Zelma reaches over and touches Naomi on the arm and gives her a gentle nod. Naomi looks at Jeremy and gently hands over Penny to him. He holds the little girl tight as tears stream down his face. Reina smiles as she too beings to cry.
Just then Braxton, Krista, and Ashley rush into the church.
BRAXTON: Did you find the bunker?
NAOMI: It’s here.
Naomi steps aside and shows the group the doors leading to the bunker. Braxton takes the key from Jeremy and unlocks it. Using a flashlight he shines down on it.
BRAXTON: Alright, let’s go. Quick.
——Cut To——
In the pharmacy, Libby and Danielle hide behind a row of shelves with medication. As they sit in silence, the sounds of the alarm can still be heard.
DANIELLE: I need to go out there.
LIBBY: No! I mean…it’s a huge horde. The walls won’t stand. It will be a suicide mission.
DANIELLE: I can’t just sit here and let me friend die.
LIBBY: She’s safe. Her fiancé took her to that bunker, right?
DANIELLE: Still.
Danielle looks from behind the shelf and sees people running for safety outside. Libby watches Danielle’s face as she turns to look at her. The two look into each other’s eyes before Libby turns her head and looks towards the front of the pharmacy.
LIBBY: The walls won’t hold for long. We’re going to be trapped in here.
DANIELLE: Is there a way to the roof near here?
LIBBY: In the clinic. There’s a door in Emmalina’s office that leads to the alley.
DANIELLE: Let’s go then. Before we end up trapped in here.
The two women slowly stand and quickly make their way to the clinic next door.
——Cut To——
Emmalina runs inside the building where Dillon stands in the holding cell. Corey follows in after her.
DILLON: What’s going on?
EMMALINA: There’s a horde coming!
She reaches into her pocket for the holding cell’s key but comes up empty.
EMMALINA: Where is it? Where is the key!?
DILLON: You lost it!
COREY: Is it back in the government building or your office?
EMMALINA: I don’t know, but there’s no time.
DILLON: Emma, get out of here. Now!
EMMALINA: No! I’m not leaving you here!
DILLON: This isn’t a debate!
Dillon turns to Corey with a serious look on his face.
DILLON: Get her out of her. Keep her safe.
Corey nods as Emmalina reaches for Dillon with tears streaming down her face.
EMMALINA: Dillon.
He reaches through the bars and grabs her hands.
DILLON: No matter what…I love you.
EMMALINA: I love you too.
Dillon kisses her hands before letting go.
DILLON: Go.
She tearfully nods as Corey quickly ushers her out of the building but leaves the door slightly open. Dillon watches them exit before putting his head against the bars in defeat.
——Cut To——
Jessica and Aisha run into Luca’s restaurant followed by Vincent and Maverick. Inside Sofia and Raymond raise their guns at the foursome, who stop dead in their tracks.
JESSICA: What the hell are you doing!?
SOFIA: Get out. Now.
JESSICA: Where’s Tommy.
SOFIA: I. Said. Get. Out!
JESSICA: Screw you, you psycho bitch!
Sofia fires her gun and hits Jessica in the shoulder. She lets out a scream before falling back into Maverick’s arms.
VINCENT: What the fuck, Sofia!?
Aisha raises her gun and aims it at Sofia, who aims back at her.
SOFIA: You’re not taking shelter here.
Vincent raises his gun at Raymond, who points his gun at him.
RAYMOND: Better do as she says.
VINCENT: Fuck you.
Maverick lays Jessica down and quickly takes off his shirt. He applies pressure to the gunshot wound as she passes out.
MAVERICK: She’s bleeding out fast. We need to get her to the clinic.
Just then Holli runs into the restaurant and stops as Sofia points her gun at her. Holli sees Jessica on the ground bleeding.
HOLLI: Put your weapons down now!
Holli raises hers in the direction of Sofia, Raymond, Aisha, and Vincent.
SOFIA: Or what!?
HOLLI: I said now!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
——Cut To——
As the Revco residents scramble to seek shelter down below, Ofelia watches from the office window. Just then Richard bursts into the office.
RICHARD: What did you do!?
She looks at him with a cold expression, before turning back to the window.
OFELIA: What had to be done.
Just then, the entrance of Revco collapses and the horde of hundreds begin making their way into the community.
:::::SCENE 2:::::
As Ofelia watches the horde enter into Revco, Richard rushes up and turns her to face him. With his hands on her shoulders, anger fills his eyes.
RICHARD: Why would you do this!? You’ve put everyone in danger!
Ofelia just glares at him before pushing him away from her.
OFELIA: Everyone was already in danger. When you didn’t come back, someone had to lead.
RICHARD: By bringing a horde of the dead right to our front door!?
OFELIA: You will never understand. No one will.
Richard watches as she takes a seat in the chair behind the desk. Just then, the sound of feet running upstairs steals his attention.
——Cut To——
Meredith reaches the top of the stairs on the third floor and faces the door leading to the roof. She tries to open it but it’s locked. With all her strength she tries to shove open to door but to no avail. Richard runs up the stairs behind her and moves her away.
RICHARD: Stand back.
He kicks open the door and Meredith runs onto the roof. Luca stands inside an enclosed glass room facing a table with buttons. With his back towards them and the alarm blaring, he doesn’t notice Meredith opening the door.
MEREDITH: Turn it off now!
Luca turns to face her with a sinister smile. Meanwhile, Richard races to the large speaker sitting on the edge of the roof. Taking it by the hands, he forcible rips it off causing the alarm to stop. Tossing the speaker into the growing sea of the dead, Richard turns around to see Luca glare at him in anger.
Luca spins around and grabs Meredith by the throat. She struggles to breathe as Richard races towards her.
LUCA: You will regret this!
RICHARD: Meredith!
Meredith tries getting lose of Luca’s grip but it’s too tight. Kick her legs wildly she lands a hit to Luca’s groin causing him to loosen the grip enough for her to get free. Luca kneels over in pain as Richard moves Meredith away and tackles the Italian restaurant owner.
RICHARD: You son of a bitch!
Richard punches Luca’s face causing the two men to wrestle in the glass room. Outside, Meredith falls to her knees and gasps for air as she tries to regain her composure.
CLASH!
She turns her head as watches Luca and Richard crash through the glass wall. Luca straddles Richard and punches him hard repeatedly until he goes unconscious. Meredith stands up and watches Luca do the same. He turns to face her.
LUCA: Ready to die?
MEREDITH: You first.
She charges at him.
:::::SCENE 3:::::
Down in the bunker, Ashley takes a flashlight from a shelf and turns it on. Turning it upside down, she places it on the ground to help light up the bunker. The sound of snarling causes everyone to turn their attention to the back of the bunker.
REINA: Are they down here!?
BRAXTON: Meredith said Ofelia had them here in a cell.
KRISTA: What a fucking psycho.
NAOMI: It’s her family.
KRISTA: They’re dead. They’re not her family anymore.
NAOMI: And who are you to say that?
KRISTA: Someone you really don’t want to piss off.
Krista glares at Naomi before turning to Braxton.
BRAXTON: I’ll take care of it.
NAOMI: No you won’t.
Naomi stands between Braxton and the path to the cell.
KRISTA: Are you serious right now!?
NAOMI: They’re not your dead to put down.
KRISTA: And they’re not your dead to protect.
ZELMA: Naomi, I know that Ofelia is a friend but there are children here now.
NAOMI: It doesn’t matter. God wouldn’t want this.
KRISTA: God isn’t here right now!
NAOMI: God is everywhere.
Reina holding baby Angel walks to stand next to Braxton.
REINA: Please. Naomi is it? There are children down here and those dead are unpredictable. I don’t care about any of your friendships or spiritual connections. My child matters in this moment and if I have to, I will kill those dead with my bare hands. Now. I’m asking nicely. As nice as it’s going to get. Move.
Naomi stands shaking in anger and sadness looking at the faces staring back at her. After a moment, she steps aside and cries. Zelma walks over and pulls Naomi into a hug as Braxton walks towards the cell. The zombies claw at him through the cell bars. Taking a knife he puts down Ofelia’s grandmother and brother.
Looking down he sees a zombified little girl reaching for his leg. He watches her as she looks in his eyes and struggles to reach him. Seeing his hesitation, Krista walks up and takes the knife from his hand.
KRISTA: It’s ok.
Braxton watches at Krista takes the knife and stabs the little girl through her forehead. As the girl falls down, Krista pulls the knife out and looks up at Braxton. He pulls her into an embrace while continuing to state at the zombie bodies.
Jeremy moves a folding chair towards Reina, who takes a seat. He sits on the ground next to her holding Penny.
JEREMY: I can’t believe she’s here. That…she’s alive all this time. When I got to the house it was overrun already with the dead. Neighbors and strangers. When I saw the babysitter wasn’t among them I ran upstairs…but…there were three of them in Penny’s room.
He struggles to fight back tears as Reina puts a comforting hand on his shoulder. He looks into Penny’s eyes and cries.
JEREMY: I’m so sorry. I’m so, so sorry.
REINA: Hey. She’s here now. You’re here now. That’s what matters.
JEREMY: If I had known. If I had just looked harder…
NAOMI: She was brought here by the babysitter. It had been maybe a month into the outbreak when they arrived. Penny was malnourished, but Emmalina was able to get her healthy again. The girl though…she was bitten before arriving and after a few hours, there was nothing else to do. She died saving your daughter.
Jeremy nods at Naomi before pulling Penny close to his chest. Ashley watches the father and daughter and wipes away a tear. She walks over to Braxton and Krista.
ASHLEY: So, what do we do now?
BRAXTON: There’s nothing more we can do.
KRISTA: We’re going to die down here.
BRAXTON: Don’t say that.
KRISTA: Braxton, there are hundreds if not thousands of the dead up there. You think that they’re just going to let us go by? We can’t take them all on. We’re stuck down here in this bunker. If we lose oxygen or run out of supplies…what do you think is going to happen?
Ashley backs up against a wall and begins hyperventilating. Zelma rushes over to her and rubs her shoulders.
ZELMA: Calm, sweetie. It’s ok. Just breathe for me ok.
ASHLEY: My…my…si…sister. I…I…
ZELMA: It’s ok. Breathe. Deep breath in.
Ashley struggles to inhale deeply.
ZELMA: And exhale.
As Zelma tries to get Ashley to calm down, Braxton turns to Krista with a serious look.
BRAXTON: We’re going to be ok. This isn’t the end. Not now. Not when I just got you back.
KRISTA: So what, we just sit down here for a few hours? Days? Weeks? How long do you honestly believe we can survive down here?
In aggravation, Krista turns and walks towards the stairs leading up to the church.
BRAXTON: What are you doing?
KRISTA: I’m getting out of here. I’m not about to just die in a bunker.
She climbs up the stairs but the sounds of the dead snarling grow louder. The bunker’s ceiling makes noise as the dead walks above. Krista tries to open the bunker doors but it’s held down by some of the horde.
KRISTA: God damn it!
NAOMI: Watch it.
KRISTA: Screw you. This is great. They’re up there and the doors to the bunker are not going to budge. We’re trapped.
Reina, Jeremy, Zelma, Naomi, Ashley, and Braxton look at Krista who sits on one of the steps while putting her head in her hands. Above them, zombies fill the church.
:::::SCENE 4:::::
In the apartment building, Emmalina sits on Corey’s bed crying as he looks at the zombies down below. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a key. Corey quickly puts it back in his pocket as Emmalina turns towards him.
EMMALINA: I can’t believe this is happening. Dillon…he’s…
COREY: Hey, listen to me.
Corey sits down next to her and wipes away tears from her cheeks.
COREY: He wanted to make sure you were safe. That’s what matters.
EMMALINA: But he could die and all because of me.
COREY: It’s not your fault.
EMMALINA: Yes it is. I kept pushing him away and then…
She looks at Corey regretfully before standing up and heading for the door. He jumps up and pulls her back.
COREY: Hey, what’s going on?
EMMALINA: You. You kept coming back into my world. You distracted me.
COREY: I’m sorry, I wasn’t trying…
EMMALINA: It’s not you. I allowed myself to push my husband away and dance alone a very thin line. He became jealous and lashed out. If I had just kept my distance or never became president…
Corey tenderly cups her face forcing her to look into his eyes.
COREY: Stop blaming yourself. Please.
EMMALINA: But…
COREY: No. You are an amazing, smart, beautiful woman. You’re also strong and worthy of being the leader of Revco. So many of us believe in you. Thing is, you have to start believing in yourself first.
In a moment of weakness, Emmalina presses her lips against Corey’s. The two passionately kiss as tears softly stream down her face.
——Cut To——
Meanwhile, in the holding cell, Dillon watches as a steady stream of zombies makes their way into the building. Snarling and feasting their eyes on him, the zombies reach through the bars trying to get their hands on him.
Dillon backs up against the wall and sinks slowly to the ground. Placing his arms on top of his knees, he watches as the zombies struggle to reach him.
:::::SCENE 5:::::
In Luca’s restaurant, Holli ducks behind a knocked down table while being shot at by Sofia. Maverick pulls Jessica behind the bar where Aisha and Vincent are also hiding behind. The gunfire stops.
SOFIA: You will not make it out of here alive, so better to just leave.
HOLLI: There are walking dead out there! We should be working together!
SOFIA: I work alone.
Raymond looks at her suspiciously as Sofia stands with a stone face and gun at the ready.
AISHA: I saw your father on top of the government building. Your family is behind this!
SOFIA: It’s time for a new world order.
VINCENT: There won’t be much on one left now!
SOFIA: You sound just like Tommy. Such rats.
AISHA: Where is he!?
SOFIA: Outback with the other vermin. Rotting like he deserves.
Aisha, Vincent and Maverick exchange looks as the realization of how deadly Sofia is sinks in. Just then, Jessica starts to open her eyes slowly.
JESSICA: What…what’s going on?
MAVERICK: Hey, just relax. We’re going to get out of this.
SOFIA: No you won’t. My guests have arrived.
Everyone looks towards the front door as the horde of zombies fills the streets. Sensing them inside, some of the zombies stalk towards the restaurant’s glass windows.
SOFIA: Should have left while there was still time.
MAVERICK: If we die, you’re going down too!
SOFIA: We’ll see about that.
Sofia points her gun at the windows and begins firing, shattering the glass and allowing the zombies to stalk inside. Fear washes over the faces of Holli, Maverick, Vincent, Raymond, Aisha, and Jessica. Sofia continues to fire with a sinister grin.
:::::SCENE 6:::::
In the clinic, Danielle quickly closes the door to the alley and looks at Libby.
DANIELLE: There’s too many of them. How far is the ladder?
LIBBY: It’s about a few feet from the door.
DANIELLE: If we can make it out quick, we should be able to reach the ladder.
LIBBY: But they’re out there.
DANIELLE: I know which is why we have to hurry.
Danielle senses the fear behind Libby’s eyes and watches her start to slightly shake.
DANIELLE: Have you ever killed one of them before?
LIBBY: Only because I had no other choice.
DANIELLE: Well if you want to survive then you have no other choice.
The two women’s eyes meet as Danielle reaches for Libby’s hand.
DANIELLE: You can do this. It’s scary as fuck, but we have to do this to survive. I’ll be right there with you, ok?
Libby swallows hard and nods.
DANIELLE: Ok. Here.
Danielle pulls out a knife from her back pocket and hands it to Libby who reluctantly takes it.
DANIELLE: Remember, be quick and always aim for the brain. Also…don’t get bit.
Libby nods and lets out a deep exhale.
DANIELLE: On my count. 1…2…3!
Danielle swings open the door to the alley and start attacking the zombies in front of her. Struggling to get through the small group, Danielle looks at Libby who quickly springs into action. Libby takes her knife and begins stabbing at the zombies surrounding her and Danielle.
LIBBY: Oh my god.
DANIELLE: We’re almost there!
The women move quick and fight back to back. As more zombies begin approaching, Danielle quickly makes a path to the ladder.
DANIELLE: Libby, let’s go!
Libby kills one last zombie before rushing to the ladder.
DANIELLE: Go, go, go!
Libby quickly ascended the ladder and once on the roof, she helps Danielle escape the zombie hands struggling to reach her. As both women safely make it to the roof they fall back on their backs exhausted.
LIBBY: Oh my god. Oh. My. God.
DANIELLE: That was…intense.
LIBBY: You could say that again.
The two look at each other before bursting into laughter.
DANIELLE: Holy shit. We made it!
LIBBY: I can’t believe I did that.
DANIELLE: We did that.
The laughter dies down but they continue to look at each other. After a few moments, Danielle rolls on top of Libby and the two begin making out passionately.
:::::SCENE 7:::::
On the roof of the government building, Meredith and Luca wrestle near an unconscious Richard. Meredith struggles to keep her footing, but Luca is too strong.
LUCA: You should stop now.
MEREDITH: You brought them here! You and Ofelia!
Luca and Meredith stop shoving each other and catch their breaths while glaring at each other.
LUCA: The world was going to shit anyway.
MEREDITH: So you figured you would bring us all down with it?
LUCA: The plan was never to die, only to survive the longest. Start from scratch.
MEREDITH: What are you talking about!?
LUCA: Revco! I needed purging! Richard fucked everything up and this community was going to fall without my leadership. Ofelia is just a puppet in my plans.
BANG!
Luca’s eyes grow large as he starts to stumble forward. Meredith looks behind him to see Ofelia standing with a gun raised. Richard slowly begins to regain consciousness.
OFELIA: I’m no one's puppet.
Just then Luca stumbles onto Meredith, who is unable to push him away. She falls backward off of the roof. The sounds of the dead snarling intensify as Luca’s body falls off the roof behind her. Richard watches in horror before stumbling to stand up.
RICHARD: Meredith!
OFELIA: She’s gone.
Richard turns to look at Ofelia, who still has her gun raised.
RICHARD: What is wrong with you!?
OFELIA: I’m sorry. This was the only way. I have fought all my life for this.
RICHARD: For what!?
OFELIA: Power. I…I’m tired of being someone’s toy or support. It’s time I got what I deserved.
RICHARD: You’re insane!
OFELIA: I’m sorry, Richard.
Richard turns away in disbelief and looks over the edge of the roof to see a horde of zombies feasting on the warm bodies below. He fights back tears and balls his hands into fists before turning around.
RICHARD: You killed the mother of my child!
OFELIA: Richard, I am the mother of your child.
RICHARD: What!? What are you talking about!?
Ofelia places a hand on her stomach gently causing Richard to look at her in shock. Just then, Darren, Lena, and Finn walk onto the roof.
DARREN: Well I see you didn’t invite us to the rooftop party, Dicky.
LENA: Such a shame.
Richard ignores them and turns back to look down at the zombies below. Darren looks up and down at Ofelia and lets out a whistle.
DARREN: I don’t believe we’ve met, sweetheart.
OFELIA: At least not in person.
Richard turns to look at them confused.
RICHARD: In person?
DARREN: Yes. You see, Dicky, your fine - and I do mean fine - female companion here managed to radio us about three weeks ago. Let us in on your community’s set up and how to best go about a mutual partnership. You didn’t think we just hunted you down randomly did you?
Lena, Darren, and Finn all chuckle while Ofelia continues to stare coldly at Richard.
RICHARD: So all this time…all this time you’ve been playing me.
OFELIA: I did what was needed to be done. Revco was falling and you were letting it.
RICHARD: How!? By maintaining order? By bringing in new residents?
OFELIA: By being weak.
DARREN: You see, Dicky, every leader must first know how to serve.
RICHARD: So what now? You have managed to bring a horde into the community. How exactly do you plan on going forward?
Darren lets out a single laugh.
DARREN: Wouldn’t you like to know. But, you’re no longer in charge. Ofelia is.
Darren stands close to her and sniffs her hair deeply while looking at Richard.
DARREN: I’ll let you handle the rest.
Darren, Lena and Finn exit the roof and head back downstairs. Ofelia continues to glare at Richard, who shakes his head.
RICHARD: I got to say I never saw it coming.
OFELIA: My ability to be a leader?
RICHARD: No, I always saw that quality in you. What I didn’t see was how you’d go about getting it.
Richard chuckles.
RICHARD: I’m impressed. You managed to out shark the shark.
OFELIA: So now what?
RICHARD: I’m not sure, you tell me. After all, you’re the leader, right?
OFELIA: Mocking me isn’t going to benefit you.
RICHARD: Just like crossing me will never benefit you.
OFELIA: Keep in mind who has the gun here. Not to mention your child.
RICHARD: I suppose you have a point there. But, good thing it’s the end of the world.
He quickly pulls a gun out from behind his back and fires at Ofelia.
BANG!
She quickly ducks down and runs for the roof door. Richard continues to fire at her until she's left the roof. He turns around and looks over at the roof of the building next to him. Without thinking twice he runs as fast as he can to the edge of the roof and jumps.
:::::SCENE 8:::::
Down in the bunker below the church, Zelma begins to cough hard while others are fanning themselves.
ZELMA: It’s so hot in here.
NAOMI: There’s an air vent over there.
Braxton walks over to it and looks up. He lifts his hand but doesn’t feel anything.
BRAXTON: It’s either broken or the horde upstairs is blocking the air.
REINA: So we could run out of oxygen?
JEREMY: Let’s not panic, ok?
REINA: Not panic? Not panic!?
JEREMY: Reina, just relax. We need to save as much oxygen as possible.
KRISTA: This is fucking great.
Naomi looks at her annoyed.
NAOMI: You wanted down here.
KRISTA: I didn’t, he did!
BRAXTON: Meredith said it was safe!
KRISTA: Your girlfriend is a liar!
BRAXTON: Krista.
KRISTA: What, Braxton!?
She shakes her head and stands up.
KRISTA: Spend months apart only to be reunited here and stuck in a bunker.
BRAXTON: You need to calm down.
KRISTA: I’m as calm as I can get with one fucking arm!
BRAXTON: It had to be done.
KRISTA: You should have let me die! At least then I would have had some dignity!
A hush falls over the room, minus the sounds of the children stirring from their naps. Krista walks away and sits down at the far end of the bunker. Jeremy gets up and walks over to Braxton.
JEREMY: What do we do? Reina’s right, we going to start losing oxygen.
BRAXTON: I don’t know damn it. If I knew we’d be doing it.
ZELMA: Stop arguing. It’s not getting us anywhere.
JEREMY: The air vent.
BRAXTON: What about it?
JEREMY: It leads up to the church, right?
NAOMI: Yes, the airflow usually comes from up there - the floor of the church.
JEREMY: It’s a long shot, but it might be our way out of here.
REINA: You expect us to crawl through it or something?
JEREMY: Yeah, it could work.
KRISTA: Except for the part where the dead are waiting for us!
BRAXTON: Krista, just hear him out.
KRISTA: No! It’s a stupid idea. Braxton, you can’t possibly think it could work.
Braxton shakes his head angrily.
BRAXTON: I don’t know what could work, Krista! But I’m not giving up. Not on survival or on you.
Krista looks at him slightly tearful.
CLASH!
Everyone quickly turns their attention to a knocked over a metal shelf full of supplies. Next to it Zelma lays on the ground not moving. Ashley and Naomi rush to her side.
ASHLEY: Oh my god, Zelma!
NAOMI: Zelma. Zelma, wake up.
Ashley tries to find a pulse on the old woman.
ASHLEY: I can’t get a pulse! Oh my god, Zelma!
She begins performing CPR as Krista, Jeremy, and Braxton watch on. After a few moments, Ashley stops with tears streaming down her face.
ASHELY: She’s…she’s gone. Zelma’s gone.
Everyone looks on as Zelma’s lifeless body lays still on the ground.

Wow, wtf Corey? Can't believe how many people turn into opportunistic sociopaths in times like these. SMH...
Also how on earth can Richard miss his shot from that distance?
And how exactly did that shelf get knocked over that killed Zelma?
Also, still holding out hope that Meredith survived. She was not injured and could have held on to a window sill or sth. She deserves better than to die mid-season.
