Resident Evil



Hey there, crime kids. Happy fucking FRIDAY. It's time once again to take a trip to the dark side, where your most violent fantasies become sins of the flesh, right here, where the hardboiled action is non-stop, at the coolest crime joint in cyberspace ... at That Killing Feeling.

In Chapter 25 of ZOMBIE & JULIET, Rommy, Gaga, Brick and the revolutionaries emerge from the subway into the ruins of Times Square on their mission to deliver the vaccine for the virus ... where hundreds of zombies suddenly attack them ...


EXT. TIMES SQUARE - SUBWAY ENTRANCE - NIGHT
A disaster area. Vehicles lie in ruins in flames.
A movie theater is on fire.

Zombies CHASE people in the street, SCREAMING.
Explosions BOOM. Scattered GUNFIRE.

Brick, Jag and Rommy carefully
come up the stairs to the mouth
of the subway entrance.

Press themselves against the wall.
Carefully look around the corner.

BRICK
It’s like Resident Evil.

JAG
But without the hot chick.

ROMMY
(sees something)
Check out the SWAT truck across the street.

BRICK
That would work --

JAG
Think the keys are in it?

BRICK
Don’t need no stinkin’ keys.
I’ll run across the street, get the truck,
and come pick you guys up.

JAG
Better you than me --

BRICK
(sees something)
I’m gonna cover myself with that trash can --

ROMMY
Okay. I’ll go tell the others.

He turns, walks down the steps to --

THE SUBWAY EXIT STAIRS
Where Gaga, Reno, Hammer and Monster are waiting.

ROMMY
There’s a SWAT truck across the street.
Brick’s gonna go get it and then pick us up.

MONSTER
Thank god. My leg hurts like a motherfucker.

RENO
(points at the spear)
Poor baby. At least YOU’RE
not skewered like a shish-ka-bob.

ROMMY
Put a sock in it.
We’ve gotta keep a cool head
if we’re gonna get outta this alive.
C’mon, let’s go --

RENO
Well, look who’s all
mature and shit all of a sudden.

OUT ON THE STREET
Brick turns over a trash can.
Gets under it.

Starts moving across the street.
Zombies FLY BY, but don’t smell him.

IN THE TUNNEL
The gang starts walking
up the steps to the street.

Suddenly, SCREAMING from down below.
They all turn and look.

ZOMBIES. Running up the stairs.
Rommy GRABS Gaga’s hand.

ROMMY
Let’s GO.

Rommy, Gaga and Hammer RACE up the stairs,
Monster and Reno right behind.

A rabid zombie GRABS Reno by the spear,
YANKS her down and starts EATING HER.
She SCREAMS.

Monster pulls out his squirt gun to shoot,
but gets GRABBED by zombies who
BITE INTO HIM and start EATING.
He SCREAMS.

UP ON THE SURFACE
Brick makes it to the truck.
He THROWS off the trash can and JUMPS IN.

Starts working on the wires
on the steering column.

AT THE SUBWAY ENTRANCE
Rommy, Gaga and Hammer RUN
out of the subway and onto the street.

Zombies from all directions smell,
then see them, start RUNNING toward them.
SCREAMING.

Hammer adjusts his flamethrower. Turns it ON.
A GIANT SPRAY OF FIRE SHOOTS OUT.

HAMMER
Flame ON --

He slowly spins in a circle,
SPRAYING the zombies with FLAMES.

As he HITS each one, they EXPLODE
into SCREAMING FIREBALLS OF BLACK SMOKE.

IN THE SWAT TRUCK
Brick watches them destruct.
Gets back to work.

The wires SPARK. The engine ROARS.
He starts driving toward them.

OUT ON THE STREET
Hammer keeps ROASTING the zombies
as they SNAP, CRACKLE POP.

They all cover their mouths.

THE TRUCK
Roars up alongside them.
Brick leans out the window.

BRICK
Get in, GET IN --

Everyone JUMPS IN.
SLAMS the doors shut.

ROMMY
Holy fucking SHIT was that close.

GAGA
I think just peed my Hello Kitties.

BRICK
(realizes)
What about --

Rommy shakes his head sadly.

BRICK
God-DAMMIT.

Zombies start SLAPPING
against the sides of the vehicle,
the windows.

SCREAMING to get in.

  1. Wow! Couldn't ask for a better cliffhanger... surrounded by zombies... a trail of dead and eaten mates behind them... the future isn't looking to bright right now.

    A miracle... or a savior... that is what our intrepid quartet needs about now. There must be others, right? This can't be the end (of course it isn't, Ronnie... don't go getting all 'dramatic')

    I'm holding out for a hero...

    Awesome end to the week... looking forward to next week's installments! :)
