IZombie · Season 1
I was a call girl. The normal, human kind... upscale clientele. Then this mystery man contacts me. We have our date. And the next morning I wake up, and guess what sounds tasty to me?
Brains.
Exactly. Then this John drops back by, welcomes me to 'Team Z.' And explains that I was a zombie now and in exchange for the brains I needed to survive, I would have to service his zombie clients.
That's horrible.
Being a zombie hooker is horrible. Being a zombie hooker when you've eaten the brain of a Benedictine nun? Or a man with dementia? That is an extra level of devastating. [Natalie chuckles in sadness] A few weeks ago, I shot a deer. I started being vegan when I was 15 and hunter-brain made me kill Bambi.
Thank you. And I guess I should thank you for saving my life too, huh?
You may want to wait a couple weeks. See if you still feel grateful.
To eat brains or not to eat brains? That is the question.
It's a bit of an acquired taste.
You couldn't of flavored it up a bit for him?
Sorry. The quality of all the meals have gone downhill here since someone's boyfriend offed my chef. Poor Don E. has been reduced to eating pepperoni pockets.
[Natalie tears up] I'm either being controlled by a pimp or I'm being controlled by a brain.
We can't just raid a place. There's a protocol. First there's probable cause. Then comes the warrant.
[Liv in a low voice] I'm the probable cause.
[sitting next to her Christmas tree with her] How badly could you want to die if you spent an hour untangling Christmas lights?
I was setting a mood.
Yeah, I literally got screwed into becoming a zombie hooker.
Can we both be honest for a moment? We both know deep down that this can't work. Being a zombie has changed me. You love the woman I was before. You tolerate the woman I am now.
Who you are now is only temporary.
This brain is temporary. But... The not being able to have sex, the day-to-day personality changes, that's the new normal. And that's what neither one of us is okay with. We're not. The truth is, we belong with our own kind.
Is this... are we breaking up?
We have to.
[Natalie smiles] You sound like the sort of quality boyfriend I've only heard about.
Yeah, I wouldn't be too sure about that.
You're doing all of this to keep your girlfriend safe. She's got to appreciate that.
Ah, she doesn't know. I can't tell her. Liv would try to stop Vaughn. I'd end up getting her killed, and I can't risk that. I won't risk that. You know, it's like a cult over there, and he is their messiah offering up immortality in a can. I'm working on a plan, but in the meantime, I have to keep abducting zombies, taking them away from their families, and proving I'm a good soldier, and I'm pretty sure that Liv would find that... reprehensible. I know I do.
If this doesn't work... if the cure doesn't happen...
It's going to.
But if it doesn't... I don't want to come back as a zombie. Not like this. And definitely not like one of those mindless, drooling monsters you see in the movies.
Hey, let's get some mojitos. You know, celebrate.
The next shift is showing up here in 10 minutes. This would be rather hard to explain.
[Blaine looks at Drake in the body bag] Gotta zip you back up, friend. Down you go.
[last lines]
[Ravi speaks into his recorder, after he finds that the test rat regressed and went back to zombie form] The subject maintained a normal state for 162 days. The reversion to zombie form was sudden and complete. There were no warning signs. If the cured rat regressed to zombie form, it's more than likely that at some point, the cured humans will as well. The reversion also casts doubt on all working theories about the cure, muting whatever hopes we've been able to muster. And if hope is indeed lost, what's left for our zombies to live for?
[first lines]
[Liv arrives at Ravi's house] Hey, I just got your message. I came as soon as I could.
I texted you last night. Several times. Where were you?
Out thinking. Where were you, Pigpen?
Out digging.
Where do you think it is?
In the stomach of a dead drug dealer with a prosthetic leg.
Well, the good news is, we've managed to narrow the location of his unmarked grave to a single 100-acre field.
You really need to work on the whole "Good news" concept.
