Red Days 2: Cecilia (2026)

[bunniefuu]

Agent in the house, come out.

Agent in the house, come out.

Get ready.

Take her.

All right.

My turn.

Um.

Okay.

No, no, no,

- Come on, settle down.

- No, it's between,

no, it's gotta be this over here.

- Come on, no.

- No.

Hey, this band, look.

You're by my side

- No?

- Come on.

- Rock and roll.

- Rock?

It's not rock, so I'm gonna change it.

Now...

Hey. Hey.

What you doing out here by

yourself? Where are your parents?

Where's your mom?

Okay, sweetheart. What's your name?

Where do you live?

Do you think you could

show me where you live?

Okay. All right, let's do it.

Come on.

Okay. This one?

Oh my God, Samantha! Oh!

Yeah. I found her just walking alone.

I didn't know what to do, so I took her...

You're welcome?

Attention. Attention.

This is the Department

of Homeland Security.

Stay in your homes and lock your doors.

Do not travel outside. Proceed with...

There's too many

of 'em out there right now.

Yeah, but

they're no match for us.

Yeah, maybe one at a time,

but what if they mob us?

Well then we

don't let 'em mob us.

She's still alive?

I thought you said you drained her.

I did.

At least I thought I did.

Too early

for her to have turned.

It should be okay for us to drain her.

I'll do it.

Like last time? I'll do it.

So what I'm, I'm your prisoner?

You're our supper.

You're gonna eat me?

We're gonna drink you.

Okay, what is this? What is this?

You guys some, some emo freaks

who think you're vampires?

You don't remember.

Happens sometimes.

Trauma, you know?

- Oh, psych major

explains everything.

Don't bother. It'll be over soon.

Whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Um, why k*ll me?

You know? Why not drink my blood?

'Cause then I can heal, get some more,

and then you can just keep drinking.

The virus is already

running through your veins.

You'll be like us soon enough.

Maybe not today, but tomorrow,

day after the latest.

I already have too many mouths to feed.

You b*tch!

Cas? Cas?

Don't move.

Oh, God, oh, my God!

Oh, sh*t.

Oh, God.

Oh.

Check her pulse. Well?

Oh. Nope.

Too bad. She was cute.

Yeah. Huh.

Hey. Ah, look at that.

Yeah, that,

That ain't a zombie bite.

That...

- Yeah, right.

Come on.

- It is.

Leave her. We gotta keep moving.

Damn.

So sad. sh*t.

Ah, sh*t.

sh*t.

Yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, come on.

Oh, God, what do I...

Oh, no. Oh, no, oh.

Oh, God. I'm sorry.

Sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm...

Ooh.

Mm.

Mm.

Okay.

Oh, no.

Oh.

All right.

Thank God.

Hmm.

Come on.

Okay.

This is fine. This is fine.

Fine, I'm fine.

You're fine, you're fine, you're

fine.

Ah!

Oh, God.

Smokey.

Smokey.

Don't move. Put your

hands over your head.

I said, don't move.

Why?

You worried about what I'm gonna do to you

when I see you don't actually have a g*n?

Wait, what?

Damn.

Mm.

Oh.

Remind me why I quit smoking again.

Oh.

What the hell is this?

Get rolled by some punks?

Look like you got wrapped

up and saved for later.

f*ck you, man. This is homemade.

Keeps me from turning into

one of those deadheads.

Keeps the radiation out.

You wanna keep the bug out,

Drink some of this sh*t.

Ah.

What do you want?

Looking for a scientist.

Used to work for Donovan Corp.

- Scientist?

- Yeah.

Working on some high-tech metal alloy.

Somethin' called Orichalcum

Got laid off when Donovan stock dropped,

moved out here to start over.

Sound familiar?

- Hell's a Texas Ranger

want with Oral Cow c*m?

All right, you know what? f*ck it.

Don't wanna know. Don't care.

You get me a car, one that works,

so I can get my bony

white a*s back to Texas,

I'll get you the name of your nerd.

Now why would you wanna leave

sunny California for Texas?

Huh?

- There's no mindless zombies

in Texas.

- You've never been to Austin.

You give me a name and an

address, I'll make some calls.

Be back here tomorrow night.

Be here, and pack a bag.

Ooh. Can I, ah, get it back?

Evening.

Little late for a girl like you

to be crawling around an alley.

Need something?

Anything I can help you with?

All right. If you don't need

my help, I'll be on my way.

I'm sorry.

She speaks.

Oh, you are a fast

little bugger, ain't you?

I'm sorry.

I don't want to, I'm so hungry.

Well I'm sure we could find

someplace that's still open.

Be happy to buy you some

pancakes or something.

Okay, hey, look, I don't mean to be rude,

but you're getting a little

too close for comfort.

I'm gonna have to go ahead

and ask you to step on back.

I'm sorry. I don't want to.

I'm just so hungry.

Listen, kid, ah, I can

tell you're new at this.

You haven't quite figured it all out yet.

I can tell you're, you're scared,

and you're, you're

probably hungry as hell,

but I promise, this ain't the way.

I can help.

Nobody wants to help anybody.

Well I'm sure it seems that way.

Oh, boy.

Ow!

All right, look, kiddo.

I really don't wanna hurt you.

Just gimme a

chance. I can help you.

I'm gonna put my g*n down. All right?

Hey, what's your name?

Where you from?

I'm from Texas. You ever been there?

Damn. Okay.

This is gonna hurt

a little bit.

Sorry about that, kiddo,

but I got some place to be.

Listen, you're gonna have a

pretty rough night tonight.

Okay? But hey, tomorrow's another day.

Hey, you're gonna be fine.

I know you hurt like hell.

I bet you're scared as sh*t too.

But you're not gonna die.

And pretty soon,

everything's gonna go black,

and then you're gonna wake

up first thing in the morning

and everything's gonna be fine.

I'm, I'm, I'm a monster.

- We all are, kid.

- No.

What made you think

you'd be any different?

Aw.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Once there was a beautiful princess.

An evil wizard put a spell on her.

Turned her into a horrible beast.

And all the townsfolk, they were scared,

and they thought she was a monster too.

But there was a beauty inside her.

A beauty of kindness and sacrifice.

That was something the wizard could never

take away from her.

She didn't wanna lose that so

she started helping people.

The more she helped 'em,

the more of the beauty they saw in her.

Before long,

all they could see was that beauty.

And then the princess

was beautiful once again.

And then it rained in Southern California.

Sleep it off, kiddo.

Hey, check this out.

Oh.

- Mm.

- She look like wet sh*t.

- Mm.

- Smells like it too.

- I know, right?

Think we should bring her in

or let the riff raff have her?

Ah, hey, hey.

- Oh my God.

- Hey, hey, hey.

- Oh, no!

- It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay. Oh, what the f*ck?

Ah, well.

- Wait.

I recognize her.

Go get the car.

- She's dead.

Only kind of dead. Now go get the car.

Don't you know I'm the Joker.

Now I'm the doggone pallbearer.

What's next? Grave digging?

You're safe now.

Home?

Home. Yeah.

We're your home now.

- Mm.

Hey, she's coming to.

What's your name?

Where am I?

f*cked if we know.

What's your name?

Cecilia.

I'm Ginny.

That's Jacobs and that old

guy over there is Harold.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Come on.

Mm.

- Where are we?

- We don't know.

Yeah, I was pulled outta

my house by some idiots

who claimed to be knights of

the great California Monarchy.

Yeah, well I put up, put up

a fight, but they tasered me.

Next thing I know, there's some b*tch

with a glass sword trying

to cut my ears off.

And then I wake up here.

There was some type of rebellion

couple weeks after the b*mb.

It's okay though.

All least in here, we're

safe from all the creepies.

Ah, mm, mm, creepies?

Yeah. Radiation victims,

faces falling off and sh*t.

On your feet, maggots!

Ah, I'm just f*cking with you.

Go ahead. Have a seat.

You should have saw your faces, though.

All right, all right. Listen up.

My name is Esteban Montoya.

Second Knight to the

Queen of the Monarchy.

Monarchy? What monarchy?

The people of California

were able to overthrow

the powerful grip that the

United States had on us.

We are now an independent

and sovereign state.

You guys have been chosen

to join the knighthood.

We are both military personnel

and law enforcement officers.

You will either police the

citizens of the monarchy

or you will take part in the conquest

of the former United States.

We've already moved into

Nevada and Colorado.

Shortly, we move into

Arizona and New Mexico.

Now, what? This is happening so fast.

Why are we here? Why us?

I certainly didn't ask for this.

You all are special. You all survived.

- Survived?

- You guys didn't succumb

to the radiation for whatever reason.

Must be something in your blood.

Could be your constitution.

Yeah, speaking of the Constitution.

Get some sleep.

Tomorrow night, we'll see

how well you can survive.

It's over, isn't it?

Old life, country, everything.

- Yeah.

- It's different now.

Mm-hmm.

It's a nightmare.

Yeah. We deserve it though.

We're selfish.

All of us. To our core.

I mean, we say we wanna be good people.

Some of us actually even

do a pretty good job

of pretending like we are,

but just because we have society.

We lose that and look what we've become.

Those bombs just showed

us who we already are.

We are what we want.

I want to survive.

What do you think's gonna happen tomorrow?

That knight said he'd see if we'd survive.

What do you think that means?

Oh, God!

Ah! Help!

Oh, God!

What the hell do you

think is going on in there?

We'll find out soon enough.

Get his legs.

Oh.

Piece of cake.

He's been bit. k*ll him.

Wait, wait, wait!

Oh, sh*t!

Oh!

Not you. Her.

- You'll do fine, okay?

- No.

Yes, you find a weapon

and you hit it as many times as you can.

Okay? You're gonna be fine.

You're gonna...

You're gonna be fine.

Yeah.

Oh, I can't do this.

Yes, you can.

You don't know what they are, do you?

They're slow.

I knew you could do it. I knew it.

I'll be waiting for

you when you get back.

- Okay.

- You got this.

See you on the other side.

See you then.

I made it.

What?

What?

Well...

Ginny.

What are you?

Cecilia, this is Agent Thane.

She has an offer for you.

An assignment?

An opportunity.

For you or for me?

How would you like to

get part of your life back?

Which part?

Hamburgers, salads.

Maybe an oatmeal cream pie.

Yeah. I'm listening.

In 2008, Collin Donovan's

Corporation had some dealings

with some other organizations.

Ah, you know? I'm just

gonna stop you right there.

Ah, my dad

worked for Collin Donovan.

He says not to trust anything

that man says or does.

So sorry, but if this has

anything to do with him, no, no.

Collin Donovan died the

Day of the Seven Sisters.

Day of the who now?

The day of the bombs.

It wasn't just L.A. that was hit.

No?

It was six other cities as well.

It threw the entirety of the

United States into chaos.

Now there are seven

separate sovereign states

vying for each other's territories.

Most are insignificant,

but the strongest of them

all are the Corporations

in the East, the New Republic of Texas,

and the California Monarchy.

So where do I fit into all this?

We're putting together

a team of four women.

- What kind of team?

- One that enforces

corporation policies,

protects our interests.

So what exactly do I get in exchange

for my services besides a cream pie?

Donovan was responsible

for developing a serum

that can take your

strengths and enhance them

while removing your weaknesses.

Hmm. Maybe I like my weaknesses.

Oh, the ones that make you a freak?

So you've done this on others like me?

So I'm an experiment.

Look, we're not offering you a cure.

We're offering you a chance.

A chance to be something better,

something more, something different.

Sounds like it's a chance

at you becoming a superhero.

Imagine all the people you can help.

There's no point in that.

Every good person I've ever tried to save

just winds up dead anyway, so why try?

Maybe your way of saving the world

isn't by helping the good,

but by k*lling the bad.

The other

three members of your team

are getting a similar serum.

They're human though, so

it's a different formula.

I'm human.

You know what I meant.

We are expecting the

lycan DNA in the serum

to interact strongly with your virus.

It could be a bit uncomfortable.

Are you ready?

Yeah.

Uh.

Wait, did you just say

lycan? As in were...

Ow.

No, no!

No!

That should not be happening.

That reaction only happens

once the subjects have died.

She's already dead. Remember?

It'll pass.

Yeah, but how much damage

will she do before it does?

Ah!

Music soothes the savage beast.

Hmm.

Bone density increased 34%.

Muscle strength, 20 to 30%,

speed and agility increased

an estimated threefold.

The other girls have seen

similar or equal results.

So, essentially we turned them into men.

What about her weaknesses?

Still present. Crucifix, garlic.

Cameras as well?

Mm-hmm.

We can work with that.

Still, it's not very

convenient to have an assassin

who can get taken down by any idiot

that can hold two sticks together.

Or who needs to be invited

into their victim's homes.

The hunger?

Gone.

For now.

Sunlight?

Didn't wanna test for that.

Ah!

Was that necessary?

Not the results we had hoped for.

You play the hand you're dealt.

Well, at least those still work.

Huh.

Ah, well, you take a licking

and you just keep on kicking.

Huh? Hmm.

Welcome to the Beta Project.

Mm. Whoa, that's a really cool name.

Good for us.

- Your call signs are Ajay,

Kim, Akecheta, and Mehnkah.

- But my name is Cecilia.

- Ajay.

- No, it's Cecilia.

- Ajay.

Hmm. Cecilia.

So

Like your namesake. Ajay.

This operation is not sanctioned

by the California Monarchy.

We are not officially here.

The only reason we are

here is because we have

sympathetic partners within the monarchy

and the knighthood that help conceal us.

If you're discovered by the

monarchy, they will k*ll you.

You are enforcers for

the corporate states.

You go where we tell you to go,

you k*ll what we tell you to k*ll,

and you f*ck what we tell you to f*ck.

Whoa, I personally was told

that there would be no premarital sex.

That's just me. I don't know if...

That is our serum in the

blood pumping in your veins.

It's corporation property.

Now if you decide you don't wanna work

for us anymore, that's fine.

- Hmm.

- But before we part ways,

we will take back what is ours.

Your bodies are our weapons,

and we will use those weapons

to protect our borders,

spread our influence, and

ensure our way of life.

You are corporation property.

You will give us your loyalty.

And in return, the corporation

will feed you, protect you,

give you everything you

need to be comfortable.

It's a better deal than

you'll find anywhere else

in this new hell we find

ourselves living in.

We're giving you the chance to be part

of something bigger than yourselves.

The opportunity.

- Opportunity.

There's that word again.

I do not think that means

what you think it means.

You

get it? You, you get it?

No? Ah.

Any questions?

Good. Your training starts tomorrow.

Cecilia.

Hmm.

Okay.

Grumpy Gusses all around.

Hello and welcome

to the People's Monarchy of California.

We're glad you have decided to immigrate

to our sunny skies and beautiful beaches.

We believe that the monarchy

is here to protect you,

not only from outside

forces, but from yourselves.

We will keep you safe and secure.

And in return, we ask only

your loyalty and your...

Drink up.

You know what happens if I do.

You know what happens if you don't.

Take my chances.

Remember why we're here.

f*cking hate California.

So why'd you drag me out here?

Rangers asked me to come out,

asked me to find out what's in a container

headed from California to Texas.

What's it gotta do with me?

- Security clearance.

- Ah.

You're a Watchman from Colorado.

Colorado's still a

territory of California's.

Not for long.

Well, you better work fast then.

All right. I'll call

you when I got something.

Alcohol has been shown

to prevent the airborne

spread of Z-spores,

which is a major cause of zombification.

And of course, avoid sexual contact

or avoid being bitten by the living dead.

And you can avoid becoming one

of these undead beings.

sh**t, I'm the Joker.

Don't know who they

think they messing with.

I do this all day every day.

Nope.

Sir.

Ma'am, Sandoval and his

entire family is in that home.

Now you know me. You know,

but it's too much for my team.

Although.

Stand down.

What?

Stand down. It's under control.

That's anything but under control.

I said, it's under control.

Hmm. And I'm supposed to

be the one with the jokes.

I got a hankering for something sweet

I'm kind of restless and

I can't ignore the beat

Gotta skip in my step,

gotta tap my feet

Disoriented, I can't tell

what's wrong or right

And here we go

Let's have a little fun

We run around till the

moon become the sun

Let's get a little drunk

You won't wanna miss this

Boy, you can call me

mischief, mischief

Great. "The Powerpuff Girls."

Just watch.

Oh, yeah. I'm gonna watch.

Huh.

I like to take it if

I know it wasn't mine

All the girls are dancing

All the boys are on fire

Ow!

You got a demon that

you lock in chains

Here we go

Let's have a little fun

We'll run around till

the moon becomes the sun

Oh! Triple k*ll.

You won't wanna miss this

Boy, you can call me

mischief, mischief

I got a thing for

I'll break your heart

If you play me for a fool

Let's get a little drunk

Ah!

We run around till the

moon becomes the sun

And here we go

Ah!

Let's get a little drunk

Mm-yeah!

Mischief

Ginny.

Well.

Let's get a little drunk

Let's have a little bit of fun

We run around till the

moon becomes the sun

Boot to the head.

You can call me, you can

call me mischief, mischief

I'm gonna taste

I wanna taste it

I'm gonna

Woo! Girl power, am I right?

No?

Not feeling it. That's okay.

Next time.

Next time.

Yeah, let's go home.

What now?

It seems another Ranger has made his way

- across your border.

- sh*t.

This is not the time for

them to be snooping around.

We are too damn close.

The shipment goes out

at the end of the week.

I'll send one of the

girls. They'll handle this.

Don't send Ajay.

I'll send whoever the f*ck I want.

All the cargo containers

check out except for yours.

But it's not going to Texas.

- It's not?

- Nope.

That one's going to the Corporations.

It's their problem now, not yours.

Why are we even here then?

What does Texas want with a container

that's not even going to Texas?

Curiosity k*lled the cat,

Jim. Just stay in your lane.

- You're right.

- Yeah, I know I'm right.

I'll call the Rangers when I get back.

Tell 'em nothing to worry about.

You, ah, still set on staying in Colorado?

Got a good life there.

- Bring her with you.

- Ah, that's a no-go.

When Denver got hit, she

just dug in even deeper.

When she walks away,

my offer still stands.

She's not gonna walk away.

You stuck me with the f*cking tab.

Don't move or you're dead.

Wouldn't dream of it.

Yeah, yeah, that wasn't weird at all.

I know you.

That makes two of us.

Oh, hey, bud.

No, it's okay, it's

okay. We're all friends.

Are we now?

You were the first person to k*ll me.

- Kiddo.

- Yes, ah!

- How you been?

- Hmm?

How did you know what I was before I did

How about I buy you a drink?

We can talk about it inside.

See.

I need a gentleman.

Oh, thank you.

- Ladies first.

So sweet. See, he's nice.

Okay, so how did you know what I was?

My line of work, I've seen some sh*t.

Yes, yes, yes, yes,

yes, yes. You're a Ranger.

Was a Ranger. I'm a Watchman.

What the f*ck is a Watchman?

It's complicated.

Oh, well then uncomplicate it.

I'm a private detective,

but I can legally punish

people that I find guilty.

That's it? That doesn't

sound that complicated.

Yeah, I guess it's not.

Okay, so what

is a private detective

from Texas doing in California?

Enough about me. Where you

been the last five years?

Ever heard of the Beta Hunters?

Beta's in

California. Yeah right.

Are you serious?

- Serious as a bear

wearing the pope's hat in the woods.

Wait a sec.

You got that Beta Juice

pumping through your veins.

That's why you can drink now.

Oh, I can drink and I

can eat. Man, can I eat.

That Beta Juice, ooh, comes

with one heck of metabolism.

Actually, speaking of which,

does this place have a menu?

Do, do...?

What?

Do you think you could, ah...

Nevermind. It's too risky.

Oh, please, get over yourself. Risky?

I'm so risky, I should be in

an energy drink commercial.

Spill.

It's a container

leaving California.

It's got a bunch of people concerned.

And we thought it was going to Texas,

but it's headed out East.

- What's in it?

- We don't know.

Okay, so why would you care about it

if it's not going to Texas?

Ah, just kidding. Don't answer that.

I know what it is. It's that

whole detective thing, right?

Yeah. You can't leave a puzzle unsolved?

Let me rephrase.

Why should I care?

Because it's going to the Corporations.

And?

And they're your employer.

Okay.

Ah, Listen, I'm a California girl.

All the Corporations

promised me was a cream pie.

They don't have my loyalty.

No one does. Not anymore.

No one?

I'm a monster, remember?

No one cares about me. Why

should I care about them?

We're all monsters, remember?

Mm. I mean,

I'm a literal monster.

Like seriously, right up

there with Frankenstein,

Wolfman, Cecilia, all there.

That don't make you a monster, kiddo.

It's who you are the matters.

Well, who I am is someone who knows

people are not worth saving, ever.

Let me guess.

You tried a few times and failed.

Yeah. Made me feel useless.

I was useless. It's stupid.

- Well, that's the problem.

- Hmm?

You were helping them

'cause it felt good,

and when it stopped feeling

good, you stopped helping 'em.

Yeah, it was pointless.

Seriously, I bought those

people like a few hours,

maybe a few days, best case, but

Think of the chain reaction of lives

that you saved with that borrowed time.

You made a difference.

Whether you realize it or not.

Hmm.

Well, I know what you are.

But who are you?

I'm Jim. Jim Weston.

Watchman of Bell County,

Republic of Texas.

So you're not

required to solve every crime,

just the ones people hire you for?

Yes, ma'am.

Mm, what about the ones

people don't hire you for?

- They don't get solved.

- What?

Wait, that just seems like paradise

for crooks and criminals.

I'd think so, but the

Rangers keep the peace, so.

- Mm.

- Now they don't do any

crime solving and it's up to us.

It doesn't really matter 'cause everybody

in Texas has a g*n already.

That's why they're always waving at you.

They're not being nice.

They wanna know that you don't got a g*n.

That's what's going on.

Funny, so then what happens once you

figure out who did it?

- Distribute the punishment.

You k*ll them?

Yeah. If the crime's severe enough.

It's generally an eye for

an eye kind of thing, so.

Okay, okay, okay,

okay. So, picture this.

What if we're at the laundromat.

Somebody steals my

clothes outta the washer.

What do you do?

- Steal theirs in return.

Don't laugh.

It's happened, I swear.

Yeah, um.

I gotta go.

Hey, what are you

gonna tell 'em about me?

Mm, that I roughed you up,

interrogated you,

but that you're here looking for some guy

that k*lled his wife.

Once I say that you're a

Watchman and not a Ranger,

I think they'll buy it.

And my container? You think

you can do some digging?

Find anything out?

Take care of yourself, Jim.

You too, kiddo. You too.

Okay.

Okay?

I'll look into your box for you.

I promise.

All right.

- Bye.

- Goodnight.

- Still may sh**t you.

- That's okay.

She's, ah, she's an odd one.

Think she'd make a hell of a dicer.

She's a psychopath.

Yeah, but I've worked with worse.

Oh, yeah. f*ck you very much.

Safe trip back to Colorado, Walter.

Get back to Texas, Jim.

This isn't your problem.

Yeah.

I think I was followed, man.

Yet you came anyway.

Yeah. You said it was important.

Did you at least get it?

Large batches of Beta Juice

were hijacked from the Corporations.

Number one suspect, Monarchy.

What, the Monarchy's

making their own Betas now?

They have to.

The original serum was

only used on four women.

Agents from some private organization.

Code named, Bad Mojo.

I think it was Ajay

Jarvis, Kimball Thanatos,

Mehnkah Azmera and Akecheta Syang.

Serum's supposed to make

them immortal soldiers.

Corporations are using that

serum to create an army

and Monarchy has to keep up.

Genetics race, man.

If the originals were

immortal, where are they now?

How much juice did they steal?

About a hundred doses.

That's hardly an army.

If they're not building an

army, the hell are they dosing?

Mm.

Mm.

- What are you doing in here?

- Huh?

Me?

Oh, me.

Um, you know, I just, um,

oh, I came up here to...

No, I don't smoke. Um.

If you don't tell me

what you're doing in here,

I will sound the alarm, if

I don't k*ll you myself.

Okay. Corporations

gave you a second chance.

Didn't they? Saved your

life, helped you survive?

I think California is

making a move against them.

- Say that again.

- Okay.

So, California is sending the corporations

this big cargo box.

I think it's a Trojan Horse.

I think Corporations think

that they're getting something,

but California is sending them

something completely different.

And you think the

Corporations could be at risk?

I do.

What did they say?

- Mm.

- A new initiative

to round up instead of k*ll the undead

has entered a pilot phase.

Over the next six weeks, the

Monarchy's Red Knight Division

will be capturing and preparing the undead

for export to other

countries as military assets.

Many countries have already placed orders,

including Libya, Sierra

Leone and Portugal.

The Queen's economic advisor

believes this new export

could easily become the number

one export of the Monarchy

- Thanks, Smokey.

- Within a matter of months.

- Been a big help.

- Anytime.

Just dial those digits, I'll be there.

So, ah, how do we do this?

Do I leave before you, you leave?

Kinda suspicious if we both

leave at the same time, right?

Smart thinking. How about you go first?

Oh, come on! Ah!

Zombies. They're shipping zombies.

Yeah, I got that.

Oh, Kim, Jim. Jim, Kim.

Hey, it's kinda fun to say

Jim, Kim, Kim, Jim.

Wait, did you say you got that?

Yeah. And I'll do you one better.

Not just zombies.

They're zombies all

jacked up on Beta Juice.

Beta Zombies? Or

would it be Zombie Beta?

Wait, okay, which one sounds better?

Zombie Beta, Beta, Beta

Zombie, Zombie Baby?

Okay, nope. Can't be that.

Because if you use Zombie Beta,

when you say it fast like

I just did, it sounds like

Zombie Baby and that

would just be ridiculous.

So.

Also, I think in this case that

Beta would be the adjective

describing the noun, Zombie.

So it should be Beta Zombie.

Now, if I were turned into a zombie,

then I would be a Zombie Beta.

Right?

You're not quite right. Are you?

Hmm.

I'm sorry. What, why

are, why is she here?

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Because she found me snooping.

Don't worry, though. She's

totally loyal to Corporations.

So if anybody's making

a move against them,

she'd wanna know about it.

But between me and you, if

you're not on the up and up,

she will probably rip

your spine from your a*s.

So, ah, look out for that.

Oh, okay then.

They're trying to cause

an outbreak of Beta Zombies.

Zombies that are stronger, faster.

That could be world ending.

We can't let that happen.

- Why not?

- A lot of people,

no, no, huh, all of the people would die.

We can't.

Hmm.

Welcome back, monster.

All right, let me take this

information back to Texas and

There's no time. It

ships out in three days.

sh*t.

We're gonna have to deal

with this all on our own.

- The three of us?

- Two of us are Betas.

Ay-yo.

- Mm.

If these zombies are also Betas,

then they're practically immortal.

What kills a Beta Zombie?

Oh, they're not Beta Zombies,

they're Beta Zombies.

They're undead, which

means they wouldn't use

the Beta Juice they used on you,

they'd use the serum they used on me.

What?

Yeah, they used lycan DNA in my serum.

Wait, are you, are

you saying werewolves?

Okay. What kills a werewolf?

- Silver.

- Got any silver?

No.

Well, let's look it up.

Here, wolfsbane.

Wolfsbane?

Got any wolfsbane?

No.

Ooh, wait.

Ah, this says we could burn them alive.

Great. We'll blow 'em up then.

Do you have any bombs?

Oh.

Ah, this says that the whole fire,

burning them alive

thing is just in movies.

It's worth a try.

I think we should

still go with a plan B.

Something that we know will work for sure.

Mercury.

Okay. That might as well be wolfsbane.

Where are you gonna get that?

- Actually.

- Actually, what?

Mercury?

- Why mercury?

It's the densest metal in the world,

but in room temperature,

it turns to liquid.

When I first met you, I was actually here

looking for a scientist.

They worked for Collin Donovan.

Texas believed he'd found

a way to keep it solid.

Called it- Orichalcum?

Did you find the scientist?

No. I got called back before I could.

How did you know it was called Orichalcum?

My dad. He had this little pet project.

He was always tinkering with it.

He worked for Collin Donovan.

Did he, did he find out how to make it?

Is he still making it?

I don't know. I don't know.

I mean, if he's still in California.

He's been holed up in his

house for the past five years.

So, ah, he might have had time

to finish it. I don't know.

Can you talk to him?

If we're gonna stop an

outbreak of Beta Zombies,

we're gonna need some Orichalcum.

I...

I tried once, you know, to go home.

But, ah, I had just turned

and just had my first meal.

I couldn't let my parents

know that I became a monster.

I, I can't face that. I couldn't, I can't.

No. I, I understand.

No, do you?

Have you ever tried to

tell someone you love

that you're a monster?

Are you married, Jim?

I have a daughter.

Oh. That's really sweet.

Not what I asked, though.

- I was.

- Mm.

She was in Dallas when

the Seven Sisters hit.

Oh, sorry.

I'm sure she was a great woman.

She was. She restored my faith.

Faith in what?

You remember when you asked me

how I knew what you were before you did.

And I give you an easy answer.

Yeah, yeah. You said your job.

The hard answer?

My wife, before the

w*r, she turned like you.

And after giving into the thirst,

she also thought she was a monster.

And, I mean, at first, I did too.

Wait, at first?

- Yeah.

- Something changed?

She fought it.

And we found a way to feed her

without people having to die.

And somehow, she became an

even better person than before.

And she just started helping people.

Made it her life's mission.

All she did was constantly make

other people's lives better.

Oh.

I watched her go from being

a blood-sucking creature

of the night to a

compassionate, caring angel.

Then the bombs hit.

And it's hard enough for

her to survive daylight.

Impossible to survive a literal

sun on your front porch.

So when I saw you, I knew

exactly what you were,

and I knew exactly what

you were going through.

And I knew you could change.

I knew that if you just found

your faith you'd be fine.

In what? Humanity?

That ship is long gone.

Not humanity.

Okay, ah, Jim, I'm a vampire.

I have no doubt that

God exists. I believe.

Do you believe? Or do you have faith?

Faith isn't gonna change what I am.

Are you sure?

Step-by-step.

Okay. Okay.

I'm gonna go talk to my dad.

I'll meet you guys at

the shipment container

in three days.

You've gotta go back, though.

- I'll come with you.

- No, no.

I go missing, they're gonna think

I had enough and I ran away.

They're not gonna think much of it.

You go missing and I go missing,

they're gonna send

everything they got after us.

We can't deal with that right now.

Okay.

You need any help?

Mm, I think this is something

I gotta deal with on my own.

Cecilia, you're breaking my heart.

Mm-huh.

See you guys in three days.

- Three days.

- Team.

Hmm.

Front door.

Front door.

- Cecilia.

- Hi, Daddy.

You don't seem too upset

by Ajay's disappearance.

We're better off without her.

But when you met, you

two became fast friends.

That's before I knew what she was.

You can't trust them, can you?

Your father learned that

the hard way, didn't he?

I trust you, Kim.

That's why I taught you

everything that I know,

so you can trust me.

I trust the Corporations.

You know,

the original four Betas

were created by a Corporation.

They were manipulated, betrayed

and abandoned by that Corporation.

They learned they could

only trust themselves.

They were sisters with

loyalty only to each other.

Where's Ajay?

You okay?

No, but I will be.

Kim?

No show.

Hmm.

Get it?

My father's life's work.

Let's go find that box.

You wanna talk about it?

No.

10-4.

I'm disappointed in you, Ajay.

My name is Cecilia.

Hello, Ranger

Agent.

Did you think we wouldn't stop you?

Why are you trying to

destroy the Corporation?

The Corporations are a means to an end.

End of what? End of humanity?

That's why we were created.

The other three, they were always trying

to do the right thing.

They never understood the

responsibility that we carry.

Other three?

I'm not going to let you.

Traitor.

Now let's get to that box

before backup arrives.

I don't think she

would've called for backup.

Well, then she's an idiot.

Nope. I think she is back up.

She pulled you into this, Kim?

I'm disappointed.

Sis meet Mom.

Holy sh*t. She's one of the first Betas.

Kim, Kimball Thanatos.

And his name was death.

And her name was death.

You're not getting into

that container, Ajay.

Cecilia.

Oh, no. She is.

Oh, it's Kim v. Kim.

I gotta watch this.

- No, no.

We gotta get to that container.

- No.

- No, he's right.

I'll buy you as much time as I can.

Oh, good luck.

Let's go.

I want to watch while we walk. Ah.

You can't beat me.

Why not?

You taught me everything you know.

So be it.

Yeah, I think this is it.

Yeah, it sounds like it.

We should go.

Fighting with rage, Kim?

I taught you better than that.

Hey, ah, remind me again

which one of us is immortal?

- Oh, yeah, right.

- Yeah, back there.

Ah, Jim.

- Mm-hmm?

- It's not blowing up.

- I see that.

Why is it not blowing up, Jim?

I don't know. Maybe it's a dud.

Oh, ah, go check.

Please.

You have the skills

but not the experience.

Fighting with rage isn't helping you.

Jim.

Is there a problem, Jim?

What the hell, man?

I think I dropped this a few

times. It's probably busted.

Okay, well can we just

like light it or something?

You got matches?

- It doesn't work

that way, Cecilia.

- Okay, I'm sorry.

I don't know what kind

of bargain basement,

jury-rigged piece of sh*t

you got off the internet.

My bad.

You know why you lost, Kim?

Because you fight for the Corporations.

Heartless organizations

that don't care about you.

I fight for people who fight for me.

You'll learn to do the same.

Now if you'll excuse me,

I have to go k*ll your sister.

Hey, Beta b*tch.

We're not done yet.

Okay.

We're gonna have to do

this one at a time then.

One at a time? What do you,

you mean, "One at a time?"

- Open it.

- It's insane, those are...

There's super zombies in there.

Open it.

It's suicide.

And can you think of a better way to go?

Absolutely. Peacefully in my sleep.

Oh my God. You're being dramatic.

Just open the door, please.

- No, wait, wait, wait, wait.

- What, what, what?

Show me what you got.

Ah!

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're all alone now,

and we can't slow down

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're all alone now

Ah!

Don't fight with rage, Kim.

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're all alone now,

and we can't slow down

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're all alone now

And we can't slow down

Ya!

We're all alone now,

and we can't slow down

Ooh

Let me give you

something to believe in

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're all alone now

And we can't slow down

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're all alone now

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're alone now

We're all alone now

Boot to the head.

Oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh

We're all alone now

And we can't slow down

Woo!

Yeah, I made a mess.

Huh, hey. Kim's not dead.

Hey, Kim.

If they ever find

out you're still alive.

They're not gonna find out.

Not if I'm in Texas.

Got room for a monster on your team?

Could always use another dicer.

- Dicer?

- Yeah.

You know the ones who

distribute the punishment.

Mm. Executioner.

Oh, okay.

Hmm, dicer.

I don't like it.

You should really look

in to changing that name.

It sounds less like we're k*lling people,

more like we're like making

omelets or something.

- Uh, I'll consider it.

- Mm.

You should know,

I only work nights.

I'll be sure to put it in your contract.

Mm-hmm.

Ready?

Mm.

Mm. This feels good.

Feels different.

- What's that?

Being a good guy.

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh
