DC's DMZ, I watched it for you - YouTube

In the not-so-distant future, the United States is in the midst of a second civil war between

the US army and the Free States of America, turning the island of Manhattan into a demilitarized

zone where they called a ceasefire.

This woman Alma Ortega is taking care of this other girl, and recalls a memory of evacuation

day.

Everyone is running towards the bus but when she turns around, her son Christian Ortega

is gone.

She searched both countries for him ever since, and believes he might be in Manhattan which

she hasn’t been able to get into until now.

She gets smuggled into the DMZ that night, but needs to return at 4 AM or she’s not

coming back.

Alma decides to start at the clinic where she used to work.

After helping out the nurse Rose, she gets her hands on the patient logs, but Rose tells

her she might have better luck with the traders.

On the way there, Alma gets mugged and she chases him into a hot zone.

He tries climbing the fence but gets electrocuted and she gets fired upon.

For whatever reason, Rose was slowly creeping forward so that she could get shot I guess,

so Alma takes her back to the clinic.

She makes her way over to Chinatown to tell you guys to subscribe for more content like

this, then takes a detour and ends up at the Tea House and meets her old friend Wilson.

He explains that he robbed a bank during the evacuation and built all of this, but no he

hasn’t seen her son.

She finally returns to the clinic that night but hears gunfire and finds out Rose was the

target.

Odi is a little kid who used to hang around Rose, and she pulls him aside to make him

that grilled cheese that he likes so much.

Alma makes it back to the rendezvous point just in time, and this guy starts talking

about Parco and his son Skel, and Alma gets flashbacks to her previous life before all

of this, with Parco and her son.

She turns around, but she doesn’t have a choice because US soldiers show up and chase

her back into the DMZ.

She paints a message on Skel’s public hitlist, and I guess the sun rises early in Manhattan

because at 4 AM its practically day time.

While all this was happening, there was a crazy party in Central Park.

Parco Delgado shows up to make a speech and welcomes 6 of the 8 major gangs.

He’s running for governor for the DMZ and promises to be the voice that unites them,

blah blah blah politics.

He later meets with one of the gangs called the 2-4 where their leader Jordan tells Parco

that they won’t support him in the election.

You see, Parco’s using gold to buy out support from the gangs, and the 2-4’s won’t have

that.

This angers him so he’s like fine, if you can walk out of here alive.

But he has to go through Skel, and he loses pretty badly to the young man, then he goes

you better back me now.

During a basketball game, Skel kills both men and leaves with 2 gold bars hidden in

the ground.

Shortly after, Susie informs Wilson that his gold is disappearing, suggesting there’s

a rat among his 3 men.

Alma returns to ask Wilson about Skel but he doesn’t tell her anything, and when she

mentions Oona, he turns around and gives her his address.

They finally come face to face, but he acts all tough and tells her that she didn’t

lose him, he ran away that day because Parco empowered him instead of trying to take that

away from him, then angrily forces her to leave.

After meeting with his pops and learning that several more groups are going to endorse him,

he makes his way to a bar where he’s mesmerized by the singer.

They introduce each other as Christian and Tenny and he takes her home.

Alma bumps into Odi and Nico who warns her the area ahead is full of cannibals, so Odi

leads her on a different path to Oona.

Alma introduces herself as Zee, a nickname given to her by Odi.

They go for a stroll in the garden where she reveals that she controls the water supply.

When this first started people were after guns and money, so she took the resource that

people needed to survive.

Zee does more talking and tries to convince her that she has a stake in this election,

in all of this.

Zee and Odi return to the clinic where he reveals that he knows Rose is dead, so Zee

lets him stay with her as they’ve grown quite close.

The debate between Parco and Wilson takes place that night and unfortunately, it ends

in a landslide victory for Parco.

But Oona appears and announces she’s giving her full support to Zee, who announces her

support for Wilson, and they wastefully unleash all the water.

Alma is summoned to Wilson and has a conversation with Susie about what she intends to do after

she finds her son.

Wilson then shows her to his torture chamber and tells the rat to arrange a meet with the

gold thief and shoots him.

Alma helps him after he gives her the name of the thief, Skel.

Alma goes to warn Skel that Wilson’s going to kill him, but he doesn’t answer the door.

He’s busy with Tenny who tells him that Wilson took her in when she was young and

treated her like his own daughter.

She runs over to Carmen, Parco’s partner, asking for Skel.

Carmen tells her that she looked after Skel and truly cares for him.

In the end she gives up Parco’s location and Alma makes her way over to the yards.

She sees Parco cutting deal with US soldiers who hand over supplies and guns, and she manages

to slip out.

She finally finds Christian and tries to warn him of what’s about to happen and tells

him of Parco’s deal with the US.

He doesn’t believe her and gets caught and escorted away.

When he was younger, he came home one day with a tattoo after spending the day with

his dad, but Alma called the cops on him for unregistered guns.

She took away the one person that let him be free and he was the one who went to save

Parco during evacuation day.

Word gets out that Wilson has Skel so both groups prepare for their eventual encounter.

They blast open the gate but since ammo is hard to come by, everybody starts punching

and slicing and stabbing while Parco and Wilson run inside.

A grenade severely weakens Wilson and Parco uses this to his advantage to beat up Wilson.

Skel finds his way inside and Parco wants him to prove his loyalty.

After some hesitation, he throws him out the window, but he doesn’t seem too sure of

himself.

Alma takes over for Wilson and meets with one of the FSA people, in clown shoes!

They both go for a stroll and in the end, they negotiate safe passage for her and her

son, but they want Susie in return.

Tenny leads Alma into a radio room where it is revealed that she’s the voice behind

the radio that we’ve been hearing all this time.

Despite Alma insisting she’s not going to stay, Tenny convinces her to convince the

others that there’s still hope.

Zee starts talking about peoples’ hands and announces that she will challenge Parco

in the election.

Parco finds Odi and Nico running around, and persuades him into believing FSA soldiers

are going to hurt Zee, and he can help change that by carrying a bomb to the entrance of

the FSA.

Zee finds Parco but he leaves with Odi, and Skel pops out of nowhere to save Zee and the

both of them track down Parco.

On the way there, Zee tells him Parco’s deal with the US is to bomb the entrance to

the FSA because the US is ready to invade.

Zee arrives in time and convinces them to run away and she disables the trigger just

in time before they get a chance to blow it.

Angry that his plan isn’t working, Parco goes down there to finish things himself but

doesn’t know that Christian is there.

His gun is empty and they resort to a fist fight.

He’s obviously no match for the young man and they take him to the US where they arrest

him.

Zee convinces Christian to leave with her but she stops at the entrance.

She tells him to go with Tenny because there is a greater calling for her and returns to

her people in the DMZ.

Odi takes over as radio host and announces through the radio that Zee has won the election

and she gives her final speech as the US army leaves their post.
