Cable channel AMC premieres the second episode of The Walking Dead, a series based on the popular zombie comic of the same name.
Rescued from the dead by Glenn, Rick joins a small band of other survivors in Atlanta. With angry, violent racist Merle handcuffed on a rooftop, the group chops up a walker and covers Rick and Glenn with the blood and gore, hoping the terrible stench will allow them to wade through a crowd of walkers to reach some vehicles and escape Atlanta.
