Z Nation

Previously on Z Nation.

We are at war.

We don't even know who the hell we're fighting.

The one drug I never tried.

This stuff is strong, ain't it?

We use it to guide us spiritually.

The kid needs antibiotics.

The water keepers will have something.

Yeah, we know all about that Native American medicine.

But we were nowhere near the Grand Canyon.

I sure hope these water keepers are friendly.

You got to be kidding.

Doc!

It's the chafing that really gets to you after a while,

you know?

Or the butt sores from sitting all day?

You'd think they could turn a guy once in a while, right?

And of course, there's the constant decay.

Hey. 10K. Wake up.

But that's what they do to saboteurs.

And I am, you know, a saboteur.

Saboteur.

Sounds rather continental.

Saboteur, c'est moi!

Quit it.

Your friend there looks a little pale.

Just transitioned, has he?

I'm not a Talker.

Then how come your hand fell off?

Hey, who did this to you?

Warriors.

Fierce and quick as lightning.

You don't see them, but they see you.

And then, phht phht, arrow in your arm!

Saboteurs! Saboteurs! Saboteurs!

You! You! You!

That's enough out of you.

Gotcha, buddy.

I've never been so glad to see you, chief.

I'm not the chief you need to worry about.

Keep your heads down!

We're not here to fight.

We're not your enemy. Look.

Doc?

Put your hands up.

Hey zombies?

Good lookin' out, Little Foot.

We did kill a couple Zs over at Redbird Rock.

What we got here is worse.

Bombers.

Could be. I'm bringing them in.

Hey, precious.

You were bombed too?

Lotsa times. Got hit by a zombie ball too.

Hey, little sister, listen.

Easy.

Okay? Patience.

They haven't hurt us.

Speak for yourself.

Okay. Killed us yet.

Look, if she wanted you dead, something tells me you'd be dead.

We need to wait and watch.

They'll see we're not the enemy.

Still think we're the ones who need patience?

Hang in there. I know a few natives down south.

It may take some time to sort this out.

Hopefully we won't get our asses kicked in the meantime.

Doc? I mean Steven, is that you?

Death knows my name.

Steven.

It's me.

I thought death would look meaner.

Kuruk?

Of all in the gin joints in all the world...

That hurt.

It would hurt a lot worse

if that long arrow got caught on something.

Yeah.

Kuruk?

George?

I know you. Lieutenant Warren. 10K.

You're also Doc's people.

A little help?

Two noted military leaders and champions for Newmerica.

Wise elder. Young warrior.

Something tells me you're not here by chance.

Unfortunately not.

Yeah, we came about the water.

Doc.

What we came about was keeping the peace.

Sure.

It always begins with the word peace.

You know me.

Your father knows me.

I'm true to my word.

And you know me.

The apocalypse changes people.

Yeah, not that much.

Look, what George started was working.

It was working.

Before the bombing.

But the idea, that we're stronger together,

can still work.

We'll argue politics later, my friend.

Right now, we just want to know why you shut off the water.

We didn't.

Come with me.

Neeznáá Mííl.

I know you.

Ayalla?

You're here.

What happened there?

You know, zombies.

Come on.

You want me to help you or not?

There have been attacks.

Zombies?

Old ones.

Long walkers. They came here from far away.

But they're just a distraction,

trying to divert attention from more sophisticated sabotage.

Talkers?

Like that saboteur dude that we were tied up next to.

They're lethal.

We've lost most of our strongest warriors.

And now,

the whole dam is failing.

It's time for us to go. We can't stay here.

No. Kuruk, you can't do that.

You control the dam.

You have stewardship of the water. Finally.

Your people are vital to Newmerica.

We had a...

Don't say treaty.

We had an agreement.

You father made an agreement.

He's a friend, an ally.

Was.

Was?

Kuruk, is he...?

Up at the powerhouse.

He keeps trying to fix the damage from the attacks.

But they're coming faster and faster.

If another one comes

before he fixes the damage from the last attack,

the whole dam could fail.

And all of us would go with it.

We'll talk to the chief, he's a reasonable man.

Hey, what was that you called me back there?

Neeznáá Mííl. It's Navajo for Ten Thousand.

Well what's Navajo for girl that just led me in a circle.

I wanted to see if you trusted me or not.

I thought I could trust you, and then you led me in a circle.

Too late.

You followed me, so you're cool. It's done.

Just don't get a big head about it.

It's looking a lot better.

Were you the one who bandaged me up?

But you didn't untie me.

It's been a while. I wanted to make sure you were still you.

Hey, shouldn't you be back at camp helping pack up?

No.

What I should be doing

is helping the best shot in the apocalypse so he can help us

not get run off our land for like the billionth time

in history.

Sounds like a fair deal. Don't you think?

Who are you? And why are you here?

I'm Georgia St. Claire. This is Lieutenant Roberta Warren.

We're friends with the chief. We need to talk to him.

He's busy.

He'll want to hear what I have to say.

You know our chief?

Then you'll know his name.

He told me to call him Eddy.

Everybody knows that.

Aha-Edohi. That's his name.

He who goes to the water.

Aha-Edohi!

Aha-Edohi!

What's with all this racket? I'm trying to work here.

For Great Spirit.

George? Is that you? Here? Now? Why?

No time for that. What are you doing here?

We came because the water was cut off.

Kuruk told us about the attacks.

She said your people are leaving.

That you need to abandon the dam.

Fear, that's what that is.

The young ones are afraid of everything.

Zombies, Talkers, the power of the water.

Pretty healthy fears these days, don't you think?

Sure.

You have a healthy respect for the forces that can harm you.

And then you learn to work with them.

Live with them.

Our ancestors are here.

You mean your Talkers?

Talkers, Zombies.

This was Dakelh ancestral land.
