Previously on Z Nation

What the hell is going on?

The path to truth, it's not a straight line.

Long gestating plans have been percolating.

Coming into fruition all at once.

I am the true incarnation of the resurrected.

Communication towers.

Multi-layered encryption.

All of the damn chem trails in the sky.

I mean have you seen that?

What is that?

Holy acid flashback man.

We need to get off the road.

I don't like being so far in Zero's territory.

But I guess we really don't have a choice.

Wait.

What is that?

That is a new one.

Well I want whatever did that.

Like a Samurai surgeon.

Some things you just can't unsee.

Four thousand two hundred and thirty four.

And a third.

Take the whole kill. You deserve it, kid.

Thirty-five.

You know they used to find mutilated cattle out here,

back Pre Z.

Mutilated cattle?

Like X-Files mutilated cattle?

Yeah, my uncle knew all about it. Aliens did it.

Have you been smoking my Z weed?

No.

Well maybe you better start.

You believe in UFOs?

Sure.

That's ridiculous. Aliens don't exist.

If they were smart enough to get here, they wouldn't put up

with the dumb-ass human race for a minute.

It's pure science fiction.

That's what people said about zombies.

Well, I mean maybe there's zombies.

But there sure as hell ain't no aliens.

Come on, baby. Don't fail me now.

What the hell kind of language is that?

Sounds like alien cross talk to me.

Now you're just saying that to piss me off, aren't you?

Am I the only one a little creeped out?

Anybody have eyes on where that light's coming from?

Like I was saying.

Well that was exciting.

I don't want my apocalypse any more exciting than it already is

thank you.

Somebody wanna go ahead and tell me what that was?

A plane?

Been seeing those contrails for a while.

Is that possible?

Somebody flying something.

All right, listen.

My dad was this no bullshit, tell it like it is,

Air Force pilot.

He told this story about seeing this brightly lit craft

buzzing over him in northern Nevada.

And it made him a total believer.

And even as a little girl, I like I wondered.

Well wonder no more.

Zombies got here first. There are no aliens.

Well I dunno.

A UFO seems more likely than somebody still able to fly a jet

today. Especially one that can do that.

I'm telling ya

Don't make me bite you.

Kidding.

10K, let me see your scope.

Let's see if there's something for us to go believe in.

Okay, Addy. You can follow us in this

Thing.

Thanks.

Just in case we need to make a getaway.

Looks like something crashed all right.

If it was a plane, we should definitely find it

and fly it the hell out of this apocalypse.

It's a lot faster than driving.

No thanks. Last time I got in a plane, it didn't end so well.

Does anything in your life?

Yeah, well it didn't look like any plane I've seen.

And we are in Rozwell.

With a Z.

Murphy's right. Whatever it is, it isn't extraterrestrial.

What, some kind of drone?

Maybe.

What kinda drone moves like that?

I'm telling ya, my uncle

Don't say it.

Is this what I'm supposed to believe in?

Crash site of some kind.

Looks like the future.

Well it's definitely been here a while.

Probably crashed back when everything went bad.

Looks like there's some markings here.

Kinda weird.

It's not a plane. There's no wings.

Helicopter or something.

Yeah, but where are the rotors?

Guys, what is it?

If anyone says flying saucer, I'm out of here.

Well it sure looks like a

An airborne disc of some kind.

Well whatever it is, it's not the thing we saw last night.

So let's keep going.

Into Roswell?

We need supplies.

Great, more alien huggers.

Never mind aliens. Puppies and kittens, people.

Couple more over here.

10K, you're up.

Four thousand two hundred thirty-six. Thirty-seven.

Three o'clock.

Four thousand two hundred thirty-eight.

Kid's on a roll.

Okay, talk about "I want to believe."

The only thing the good people of Roswell believe in

is liberating money from suckers.

Looks like we got some believers inside.

Are you here for the Visitors?

Visitors?

I think he means

Have you been touched by Bernadette?

Who?

Don't worry. I'm Roy. I'll help you with the orientation.

Orientation?

Yeah. For the exodus.

What exodus?

It's okay to be confused. Many new arrivals are.

We had a guy from Riverside, Iowa show up,

thought he was a starship captain.

Are we supposed to understand

what the hell you're talking about?

You've been drawn here by inexplicable visions

of leaving the planet on a chariot of fire, right?

No. We were drawn here by inexplicable visions of finding

food and gas.

You didn't have a dream of a large elongated human form

with almond eyes telepathically urging you to come to Roswell

at this appointed time?

Nope.

We did see some really strange lights in the sky

last night though.

Everything's strange to you. You grew up in a cave.

Well the important thing is that you're not too late.

Let me show you around before Bernadette returns.

I'll introduce you to your fellow Xtronauts.

Xtronauts?

Hey, man. These... these aliens that you're looking for,

they're not the probing kind are they?

No. We are not abductees. Those people are crazy.

We're inductees. We've been invited, not kidnapped.

We refer to ourselves as Xtronauts because

we will be the first humans to explore the alien world.

So, ummm. How do you plan on doing that exactly?

The Visitors are coming to save us from the apocalypse.

We have been chosen, and they're almost ready.

Just six more days. Bernadette is in close contact with them.

Bernadette?

We've all seen them.

But she's the only one they communicate with.

And Roy, the... the aliens that you communicate with,

do they by any chance use a radio?

Radio is far too primitive for them.

They don't need our technology.

They communicate with her telepathically.

Finally.

They are here.

It's happening just like they said it would.

Strangers have arrived.

Among them will be the one the Visitors are waiting for.

They said

And here he is.

The Emissary.

Oh, oh, okay.

Four thousand two hundred thirty-nine.

We hope you like teriyaki chicken.

It's all we have left.

No beef stroganoff?

I'm sure it will be fine. Thank you.

How long we gonna let them think that Murphy's their emissary?

As long as they keep giving the emissary food and water.

We'll be out of here soon enough.

After you, your Emissary.

Savior of the human race wasn't good enough for you, huh Murphy?

Needed to be the alien ambassador too.

I'm working my way up to Supreme Leader of the Planet.

Can I help you?

Dan.

Dan Scully.

And I bet you don't believe any of this alien exodus crap either

do you?

No, we don't.

Neither do I. These people are nuts.

So what are you doing here?

Just passing through when I came upon these folks.
