ROY
His back's turned. Just don't touch him—we should be fine.
JACK
Alright, we'll split. Groups of three and four. Smaller numbers move quicker and quieter. One group goes to open Fiona's apartment. If something goes wrong, the rest can fall back there.
RUBY
Makes sense.
JACK
Ruby, Roy, and Fiona—you go first. I'll come with the rest.
Ruby, Roy, and Fiona quietly descend and reach the 5th floor. Safe.
Jack leads Jin, Jisu, and 19 Century. But Jin trips. A loud CRACK echoes. The zombie turns, snarls, then SCREAMS.
JACK
RUN!!
He shoves the zombie aside. Everyone dashes down. Fiona rushes to unlock the door. Jisu and Roy fend off two zombies with rods. Fiona finally opens it—only to freeze.
INT. FIONA'S APARTMENT - CONTINUOUS
Her zombie mother stands by the dining table. Fiona is frozen, speechless. Her mother lunges—
RUBY
NO!!
Ruby leaps in, jamming her rod into the zombie's mouth and slamming her onto the table. She struggles, scratching Ruby. But Ruby remembers her promise. She grits her teeth and pushes the rod deeper until her mother goes still.
Jin and 19 Century rush in and tie her up with curtain rope. Roy slams the door shut as more zombies growl outside. Suddenly, her zombie father lunges from a hallway.
Fiona is paralyzed. Roy sees her trembling and gently covers her eyes, turning her away. The others subdue and tie her father with ripped cloth.
JACK
(sincerely)
I promised. We didn't kill them.
ROY
Fiona, it's okay. Everything is under control.
Fiona glances at the sofa—her dog's lifeless body lies there. She walks numbly toward her parents. Seeing them restrained, writhing… she breaks. She slowly lift her hand towards them with broken heart —but Roy gentle place his hands on her shoulder.
ROY
I told you—I won't let you get hurt.
Fiona sees his hands—bloody. She places her hand over his. Slowly, she stands. Realization dawns. If she freed them, everyone could've died.
