34-1, this is 34, come in.
We're sorry, the number you have reached is not in service.
Please check the number or try your call again.
Emilie, honey?
Emilie...
Where are we?
Um... Somewhere off Mills Road.
What's happening?
I don't know.
This is an emergency broadcast issued from Montgomery County.
Please stand by.
Oh, Jesus.
You're hurt.
- Emilie, you're hurt. - I'm fine.
Okay, um...
Tell me what to do. All right?
How do I fix you?
You can't.
I love you, Jim.
No, no, no, no, no.
Okay, we're gonna fix you, all right?
I'm gonna get you to a hospital
and everything's gonna be fine.
So just... Emilie, hold on.
Emilie? Emilie, wake up!
Wait. Wait.
Don't go. Hey, please don't go.
Please don't go away from me.
Hello?
...trying our...Montgomery County.
We're reporting to you live with news regarding the recent events
currently taking place in Montgomery County
where an explosion has happened.
We're trying our best to bring you new information
but we really don't know what is going on.
Earlier this morning at approximately 7:30,
reports came in that there was an explosion
on the outskirts of Montgomery County.
Now, we don't know if this was an act of terrorism or merely an accident.
It's too early to say at this point
but, to hopefully fill us in on what is going on,
we'll go live to one of our analysts who is reporting to us via satellite phone
from just outside Montgomery County. Bill, are you there?
Uh, yes, Amy. Thank you. Uh, we don't know much as of right now.
All that we can tell you is that the military isn't letting
anybody in or out of the county.
It's actually quite frightening down here because
there are military officials and helicopters literally coming from every direction,
uh, just appearing out of nowhere,
and they're not telling us what's going on.
Cell phone communication seems to be down and
land line phones only seem to be working within the county.
This is believed to be a part of the military's procedure
in quarantining this town.
Now we've been hearing that there is smoke visible.
Can you fill us in on that?
Uh, yes. I'm standing just to the outside
of the western border of Montgomery County,
and when I look towards the east, I see a massive
cloud of smoke coming from the ground.
Now, I can only guess that that is what is causing this panic.
I've noticed that the military is wearing gas masks,
and are actually advising us reporters to leave the area.
And, uh, quite frankly, I still don't know what is going on.
I'm trying to get... Hold on one second, Amy.
There's something happening. There's a man
- walking towards us. - Bill, are you there?
Uh, there's a man walking towards us right now that doesn't look like he...
Oh, my God! What's he doing? Jesus Christ!
Oh, my God!
They just shot a guy that was trying to cross the border!
Oh, my God! What is going on? What are you doing?
Bill?
Bill, talk to us, please.
Can somebody tell me what's going on?
And now we're hearing reports that there are a mass number
of military aircraft taking off from Clark County Airport,
uh, which is the bordering county to Montgomery County.
I'm standing just south of the airport's main runway and I am...
...taking off around me. Uh, they've started to take off and I'm starting to see
helicopters in every direction as they rise to the skies around me.
Uh, something...
Some are beginning to now appear off in the distance,
and, I would guess there to be at least 60 or so aircraft, uh, airborne at this time.
There are so many that I can't even count them all.
It truly is a fascinating...
Hey!
Hello?
Is somebody down there?
I know somebody's in there!
I have a gun and I'm not afraid to use it so come out right now!
This is your last chance!
Come out right now!
Please.
Hello?
Are you the person in the barn?
Who is this?
Oh, thank God.
I've tried every number in the book to get ahold of somebody.
We heard gunshots. Are you okay?
How do you know where I am?
Your lights.
We're just down the hill from you.
We're in the warehouse just to the north.
Hey, Julie, flip the lights.
Do you see us?
Yeah.
I can't believe this.
How many are in your group?
Just me.
You?
There's three of us.
We've been holding up pretty good down here.
You're the first person we've been able to contact since this whole thing started.
We have plenty of food and water. Should last us at least a week or so.
How are you holding up?
Not good.
Well, you're more than welcome to join us, if you want.
Think you're up for the hike?
I think we're in luck. I don't think they saw you.
I'm Scott. We talked on the phone.
You got a name, or should I just call you "guy I talked to on the phone"?
Jim.
Well, nice to meet you, Jim.
Nice to meet you, too.
Well,
how about a grand tour?
So what do you think?
Nice, huh?
It's big.
Scott?
Oh, yeah, Jim. This is my wife, Julie.
It is so nice to meet you. Would you care for something to drink?
Uh, water would be great.
Sure thing.
Well, Jim, come make yourself at home.
As you can see here, we got plenty of square footage to go around.
All the exits are, uh, securely locked from the inside so
the only way to get in and out is with a key.
Got no windows so we can keep the lights on as long as we want.
We got power running from a generator right over there.
Just gotta fill it up from time to time.
Wow.
This is great.
Yeah, we were lucky.
My neighbor actually owns the place.
Frankly, it was the only place I could think to go to.
What's upstairs?
Mainly offices.
We keep most of our supplies up here though.
In case one of those things gets in, we can
retreat up here and barricade ourselves in.
Actually the only way up here is through that door down there.
Think of it as a last line of defense.
Who's that?
Oh, that's Ix.
She's not the easiest to talk to.
What happened to her?
We don't know exactly.
When Julie and I were headed here,
we found her hunkered down in a storm drain on the side of the road.
At first, we thought she was one of them,
but then she spoke.
Asked her if she wanted to join us, so, that's why she's here.
She'll warm up to you, eventually.
Just give her some time.
Scott?
Yeah!
Ask Jim if he's hungry. I feel so rude for not offering any food.
All right, honey.
You hungry?
Sorry.
It's okay.
We have plenty to go around.
Don't worry about it.
Julie cleaned your shirt for you. Think she did the best she could here.
Thanks.
Well, I hope this cot is comfortable enough for you.
And, uh, sorry if the sheets smell like crap but, uh,
it's pretty much all we can find around here.
It's great.
You know, just think of it like summer camp,
except, can't really go outside and play.
- Get some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow. - Yeah.
Hi.
Yeah, yeah, I do remember that actually, but, uh, we're actually
uh, just hit 6:30 and we have some, uh, great music playing today.
And if you stay tuned for later, we're gonna have our late-day drawing...
You look handsome.
What're you doing up?
I have something for you and it couldn't wait.
Oh, is it that time of year, already?
I thought we said we were gonna save our money for the move.
It's not expensive. Please?
Okay, but hurry.
I'm gonna be late.
What is it?
Just wait.
Oh, my God.
Where'd you find this?
I stopped in at John's store to say hi and
saw it sitting on the top shelf. Knew you had to have it.
It's just exactly like the one I had as a kid.
I knew you'd love it.
And don't worry if you didn't get me anything. Not a big deal. It was just
something to brighten your day.
I did get you something.
You didn't forget?
Two years is hard to forget, Em.
Okay, where is it?
- Tonight. - No, come on. Please?
What? You just... You wanna know where it is?
Not to open, just to look? Promise.
Okay, top drawer.
Been waiting a long time to give you that.
Seems like I've been waiting since the first day I met you.
Just
figured what,
what better time than today, you know?
Happy anniversary.
Can I open it?
Tonight.
Can I at least give you an answer?
No.
Mmm. Mmm-mmm.
Mmm-mmm.
I have to get that.
Okay, looks like uh, we're both gonna be working today.
Isn't today your day off?
Yeah, well accidents don't, uh, don't take a day off.
Hey, you know what you could do?
You can make the bed.
Hmm? What's up?
I can't.
Right.
- You know I'm already gone, so I can't. - Yes.
Mmm. Okay. Love you!
Love you, too.
Sorry.
Didn't mean to scare you.
- Do you need to be alone? I can... - No.
It's all right.
How about a drink?
- Thanks. - Yeah.
Yeah, we've counted seven so far.
All around the building.
Some closer than others,
and more seem to show up each day.
It's crazy to think that they might be people we know.
Why aren't we like them?
You know, Julie and I ask ourselves that same question.
Neither one of us can think of a logical answer.
So what's your story? How'd you end up here at the warehouse?
When I heard the sirens,
I headed over to Robert Beningson's house, my neighbor across the street.
The door was cracked when I got there.
Something wasn't right about the whole thing.
We were close with he and his wife so I just
walked in when they didn't respond to my knocking.
When I got in, I heard a noise from the back room.
Something I've never heard before.
Curiosity kind of got the best of me so,
I walked back there to see what it was.
I opened the door,
and there was Robert.
Then I saw something, I was just...
I'll never forget.
Anyway, I knew he owned this place so I grabbed the keys and headed here.
I won't keep you. You need some sleep.
What did you see?
What was he doing when you found him?
Eating his wife.
- Hey, Jim, you find anything? - Yeah. Lots of stuff.
Jesus. Look at this.
The answer to all of our problems.
Wow, this stuff has been here a while.
- You find anything in the other rooms? - Yes.
Check it out.
Found it in one of the closets.
Figure if we can run power to it,
it'll probably pick up some radio channels from outside.
That's good news, man.
Well, you hungry?
Scott, I'm always hungry.
All right, I'll tell Julie to whip us something up.
You want the soup or the stew?
- I'll have whatever you're having. - Stew it is.
What are you listening to?
What about a tape?
We haven't been introduced. I'm Jim.
Do I look like I give a shit?
Sorry.
Just thought I'd say something.
You know, try and be friendly.
Yeah, well you tried.
Now can you just leave me alone?
Okay.
Where'd you get that?
I found it.
Well, where did you find it?
In the other room.
Was it in a big red bag?
Look, those are my goddamn candy bars.
You take anymore, I'll cut your dick off in your sleep. You got it?
In a press conference early this morning, military officials issued
a statement claiming that the effects of this disaster seemed to
have been caused by an airborne agent, either chemical or viral,
and most likely one that was engineered.
Scientists have determined that the agent was most likely released in the explosion
which occurred in the western part of the county just a few days ago.
Now the big question on everyone's mind is, "What was the cause of the explosion?"
It's gotta be the chemical factory.
I can't think of anything else that could be behind this.
What are you ranting about over there?
TV said there was an explosion.
Yeah, so?
So that black cloud we saw...
That was in the direction of Recita County, right?
Yeah.
That side of the county just happens to be the home of one of the largest chemical
weapons factories in the country.
Jesus.
That's where they used to make nerve agents and stuff, right?
Yeah. Nerve agents, chemical weapons.
They shut it down in the '80s.
Poured all of those chemicals into huge holding tanks.
Said they were unstable or something.
They didn't shut it down good enough.
Yeah.
Got one!
Where?
Just south of the water tower.
Where do they keep coming from?
I don't know.
But as long as they're out there then that's all I care about.
God, what I would do just to take them all out right now.
How many does that make?
Eleven, not counting the south side.
- Scott, honey? - Yeah?
Would you mind bringing down more water? We're running low.
Sure, honey!
Thank you.
God, even in the apocalypse she's got me doing chores.
...but he failed to mention just what the situation is.
We have been receiving phone calls all day
from people around the country simply asking if we the media
knew what was going on in Montgomery County.
I, for one, only know a couple of things here.
The government has intentionally kept us in the dark.
Has completely neglected...
I didn't take any more of your candy bars.
No, I, uh, couldn't sleep.
Join the club.
What's that?
Nothing.
Wanna sit?
Next to you?
No.
Fine.
It's Alix.
Most people just call me Ix.
Alix. Oh.
Who's she?
Her name was Emilie.
Can I see?
She's pretty.
What happened?
I don't wanna talk about it.
So what happened to you?
What's your story?
Uh, it's complicated.
It's complicated or you just don't wanna talk about it?
It's complicated and I don't wanna talk about it.
Okay.
I, uh,
had to move back in with my parents about a year ago.
Living in the city wasn't exactly working out.
I, uh, couldn't get a job,
had no friends, no money,
and, uh, my parents gave me my old room back,
like until I got on my feet but
that didn't last for long.
I came home
one night and they sat me down and they said they didn't
approve of my behavior.
I stormed out and I stopped talking to them.
And now,
I can't even tell them I'm sorry.
I can't even tell them that I actually love them.
I was a terrible daughter.
Hey, hey.
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
It's okay. Besides,
you're not the only one that feels like they don't have any friends.
This may come as somewhat of a shock to you.
Emilie was the only friend that I had.
Just a week ago,
I had my whole life figured out.
I was gonna ask the girl that I loved to marry me,
move out of this town,
start a new job,
and make those friends, you know?
Instead, I'm...
hiding...
for my life in a warehouse,
and I lost the only friend that I had.
Maybe we could be friends.
I'd like that.
It came from the back door.
Jim?
What should we do?
Go upstairs, you lock the door.
You don't open the door unless you hear our voices from the outside.
- Do you understand? - Yeah.
Go now!
So what do you think?
Stay here.
What do you see?
I don't see anybody.
Please let me in.
What's your name?
Where did you come from?
I'm looking for my daughter. Have you seen her?
No.
Please let me in. I need to come in.
What do you think? Should we let her in?
We should let her in.
Where did you come from?
Have you seen any of those things?
I came from town. I managed to get past them.
Please let me come in.
Something's not right with her.
How would you be if you were out there?
- Give me your flashlight. - What?
Give it to me.
Oh, Jesus.
Please let me come in.
Get out of here or we'll shoot.
Let me in!
We have to shoot her, Jim!
Get out of here, right now!
Let me in!
Shoot her, Jim. Shoot her!
At approximately 6:30 this morning,
a small battalion of Marines was deployed on a search and rescue mission
on the western borders of Montgomery County.
They believe that the process will be slow
but are determined to find any survivors.
Hey.
Hi.
Uh, TV says they sent out a search team.
I don't know what that means for us but...
It's good news.
Yeah.
Um, look, I just wanted to say thank you for last night.
Appreciated your comfort.
I'm not exactly used to people listening to my problems, so thank you.
- You're welcome. - Cool.
Ah.
And we're continuing to see more and more airdrops
fall from the skies over Montgomery County.
Now each one of these airdrops is filled with food, water,
- and other survival gear. - 62759 Phantom.
Raptor, do you copy me?
Raptor, copy.
Heading 257.
I'm out of candy bars.
You okay?
Um, yeah, I'm just a little bit flustered that's all.
Jim!
Jim, get down here.
What is it?
It just started going off.
27259.
Copy that.
There was nothing and then, voices.
Anybody got eyes on Raptor?
Yeah, we're, uh, we're actually en route right now.
What's your, uh, current heading?
- Who is that? - Heading 270. Over.
- Copy that. - Turn it off.
- What? - I said turn it off.
What the hell did you do that for?
- What is it? - Helicopters! We're going home!
I can see them.
They're too far away. They can't see the sign.
Must be more Marines flying in.
The hell with this.
Scott? Scott! No!
Scott!
Scott! No!
Hey! Help!
Hey, down here!
Scott, get back inside!
Help! Hey!
Down here!
Scott!
Shit!
Ugh. Oh.
What the hell were you thinking out there?
You saw the helicopters. I was just trying to get the...
I don't give a shit what you were trying to do, Scott!
You put us at risk!
Not to mention how many of those things probably saw that we were in here.
Hey! Who the hell put you in charge?
Remember it was us that invited you here.
We were doing just fine without you.
We give you food, water.
- I'll do whatever I want. - Ix?
Just trying to get us out of here.
Hey, guys! There's something wrong with Ix!
What's wrong with her?
I don't know. God damn it!
- Get away from her. - Get the hell off of me!
Quit it, you guys!
Alix?
Alix!
Is she dead?
She's in shock.
Way to go, Doctor. Is she sick?
No.
Then what is it?
- How's she doing? - Not good.
Barely spoken a word.
So what do we do now, Jim?
I don't know.
We don't know how long we're gonna be here until help arrives.
Could be weeks.
Well, I'm aware of that but, doesn't help our situation.
- Then I'll go get some. - That's crazy.
The nearest drug store is on the other side of town.
I go and get the medicine, I come back, I'll be back by sundown.
You would never make it.
What about the airdrop?
What?
The airdrop.
TV said that they had medicine in them.
Surely, they would have insulin, right?
What's she talking about?
What airdrop?
Before we saw your light in the barn,
we saw planes fly over dropping things
out of the back attached to parachutes.
Thought it was just supplies or something but didn't really care.
It was too far away to concern us.
- Where'd they drop it? - Uh, just to the southwest of us, over in this area.
Couldn't be more than a mile or so away.
Then that's it.
Jim, it's suicide.
We wouldn't make it past all those things.
- Then I'll go alone. - Jim.
Look, I'll grab what I can and I'll come back.
I can't just sit here and watch her die.
I'll need you to clear me a path.
Think you can handle that?
I'll do what I can but once you're over that hill,
you're on your own.
Just remember if you get into trouble with those things, don't run.
It'll only draw more attention to yourself.
Thanks for reminding me.
Now you only have about another 40 minutes of sunlight
so I suggest you get what you need and hurry back.
Okay.
Any other advice?
Yeah. Don't die?
All right, all set down there?
Ready when you are.
All right, here we go.
Go!
Scott.
Scotty.
What's your location? Jim.
Jim.
Jim, can you hear me?
Jim, come in.
...containing secrets that are teetering on trust issues.
Uh, on a side note, and this is
for anybody who may be watching this broadcast from...
How is she?
I think she's gonna be okay.
She just needs some rest.
So, how do you know so much about this stuff anyway?
My fiancee, Emilie, was a nurse.
Guess I just picked up a few things along the way.
It's a good thing you did.
...attacks the nervous system of the human body
and turns people...
Mmm.
It's so good.
I don't know how much more of that canned stuff I could take.
Better not let Julie hear you say that.
I never said anything,
but I wanted to let you know that I really appreciate what you did back there.
You know when you had my back when that thing attacked me.
You would have done the same thing.
Uh, I'm not so sure I would've.
I was just so scared out there.
You know my muscles just stopped working. I froze.
You, on the other hand,
you've got something I don't.
I mean, you reacted.
You saved my life.
Well, I'm gonna turn in.
Got a long day of nothing to look forward to.
Good night, Scott.
Good night, buddy.
What happened?
Welcome back.
I was having the worst nightmare.
Can't be any worse than the nightmare we're having right now.
How you feeling?
All right, I guess.
Should've told us, Alix.
You had us worried.
You had me worried.
Sorry.
It's okay.
She was lucky to have you.
I was lucky to have her.
- You need anything? - No.
You sure?
Yeah.
Okay, then, go back to bed.
You need a lot more rest.
And we'll talk again at breakfast, okay?
Okay.
Jim?
Julie, get out of here!
Jim! Jim! Grab Ix!
- Go! - Scott, get out of here.
Say something!
Hi.
Uh, apparently, the chemical plant was the cause of all of this.
A cooler in one of the holding tanks malfunctioned.
The chemicals were very aggressive on the nervous system
but it, it didn't seem to have the same effect on everyone.
I'm sure there were survivors.
But they couldn't defend themselves long enough to be rescued.
A search beacon was activated when you opened the airdrop.
And, uh, a helicopter full of Marines was deployed.
If it hadn't been for your bravery,
we might not have found you.
We, uh... We've done a lot of tests and blood work,
and we've decided that there's no reason for us
to detain you and the others.
I am really sorry for what you guys have gone through.
We're gonna do everything we can to get you back on your feet.
Do you have any questions?
Where are my friends?
