*side note* really what was Rick thinking riding into Atlanta everyone knows to avoid heavily populated cities after the Zombie Apocalypse. It just a moronic move on his end.
Anyway, Rick trapped inside the tank hears a voice on the radio. The voice tells him that he should make a run for it because the zombies AKA walkers are preoccupied with devouring his horse. Rick, a little unraveled quickly collects himself, grabs a shovel and a Glock 9 mm and emerges from the tanks top hatch. A zombie on his left, Rick swings the shovel and starts running in a mad frenzy in the direction the voice told him to. He shoots zombies in his path (wasting his bullets) instead of silently bashing their skulls open with the shovel.
Tearing around the corner, Rick runs into the “Voice”. Rick and this kid run down an alley and up a fire escape attempting to get away from the zombies that have been drawn by the gun shots. Once on the landing the kid introduces himself as Glenn. They climb into the department store and into a momentary safezone.
Rick realizes that it Glenn is not alone when a woman shoves a gun into Ricks face for attracting the undead and leading them right to the survivors. Unable to pull the trigger she calms down and is distracted by gun shots. The group of survivors run for the roof where a red neck hillbilly named Dixon (hillbilly name too) is popping zombies. A black man approaches Dixon telling him to conserve the ammo but Dixon spun out calls the black guy a -N- and proceeds to beat the crap out of him. Everyone backs down as Dixon proclaims his superiority until Rick steps up from behind, knocks the gun out of his hand with a pipe and hand cuffs him to the roof.
Even at the end of the world racism and stupidity still arise as strong as ever. Sad that people like that where not the first to die.
The group leave the crazed man on the roof and head back into the building realizing they don’t have long before the zombies have broken the glass windows that separate them from certain death. Glenn mentions a sewer access point in the basement that he came across while scooting out the building upon their arrival. But this escape plan won’t work because after years of technological advances a sewer access in a basement is no longer needed and has been blocked off. Feeling like they are running out of options Rick asks the survivors to tell him more about the walkers. Confused but relived for a momentary distraction one of the woman start to explain that the walkers can tell the difference between the dead and the living by the smell.
You see a light go on in Rick head as he realizes that is the solution. Rick and Glenn run and collect a dead zombie and hack him open. Glenn and Rick begin to smear the zombies dead guts on their body, wrap intestines around their neck and pieces of zombie flesh hang from them. Now they smelled like the dead. Rick and Glenn make their way out into the city and towards some construction trucks and because of their smell the zombies do not notice them. The plan appears to be working, but dark rain filled clouds begin to blow in and as it begins to gently rain the smell of death is washed from Glenn and Rick. Realizing that they don’t have much time they run towards the truck.
Realizing that the zombies are going to follow the truck Rick slams on the breaks next to a very sweet HOT RED sports car setting off a loud ass alarm. Glenn breaks the windows, hotwires the sports car and drives it past the front of the department store attracting all the zombies. Glenn definitely has balls as every zombie in Atlanta take off after the car. Free to maneuver, Rick drives the truck to the back of the store and picks up the survivors. Thankfully Dixons racist ass is left on the roof…pig.
So with the survivors rescued they all live for another day.
This show is heart pounding and keeps you on the edge of your seat ever moment. I am already looking forward to Sunday…For Episode 3!!!
