10 Cloverfield Lane Page #2

hired to build the doomsday bunker?

He .. kidnapped you?

No.

What happened to your arm?

You were trying to escape?

I was trying to get in.

And I watched Howard build this

place, piece by piece, for years.

He was always talking about..

You know, possible attacks,

Al-Qeda, Russia, South Korea,

- You mean North Korea?

- The, the.. is that the Korean one?

Yeah, that one. Hmm ..

And, hmm, you know. Pour

all his money into this

place, took to it, like

his life depended on it.

Which,.. you know,

That stays with you.

So,

He told all this,

While you're building his bomb shelter,

And now he says that ..

The air is contaminated,

and everybody's dead.

Yeah, I know what you're getting at.

But there's more to it.

Howard abducted me.

He drove me off the road,

and he dragged me here.

So whatever he's telling you

about the .. air,

Some big attack. The purpose

of this shelter, is a lie.

No, no way.

The attack, I saw it myself.

What do you mean?

Coming on my way from work,

And, looked like a flash.

Bright red,

Like an explosion, from way far off.

Wasn't like fireworks,

No, it was more this like something

your read about in the bible.

So what you saw was a flashing light?

Lightning?

- Fire that cleared up?

- I'm not .. explaining it right.

This wasn't like anything I've ever seen.

Right here,

Above us.

Did you hear someone?

Right above us.

That's impossible.

- The, the air, is ..

- What, it's contaminated?

- How do you know that?

- Because I told him.

Dinner's ready.

I see you two are getting along?

How's that sauce?

- It's fine,

- As cooks go, I'm okay.

Not great, but okay.

Megan was a good cook.

You'll learn a little cooking.

It's delicious.

It's the best sauce I ever tasted.

Are you being funny?

No, I mean ..

Considering the alternative,

which is, you know..

Get burned up in a chemical

attack, or nuclear ..

I say being alive, and down here is ..

It's made a fried turd taste

pretty good, so..

Best damn sauce I ever had.

And you point, and please watch

your language at the table.

Right.

You know what I haven't been able to

get out of my head, for some reason.

Ever since I got down here,

Tatoos.

I always wanted one.

But I never got any. Because

everyone always said, nah,

no, Emmett you'll never get

a decent job if you got it.

Whatever

Like that matters now, right?

Tell you what, I had know this was coming,

I'd gotten like 50 of them.

That's where I'm at.

I would look like a circus

freak or something. I would

just be covered. Head to

toe, tattoos all over ..

Everywhere, face, shirt, right there.

Across my forehead.

Just my name, Emmett.

Or, you know..

"Thug Life"

- 'YOLO'

I don't even know what

that means, but, I hear

people saying it all the time.

So it must be cool.

Hey, what about you, Howard?

Anything you wish you'd done?

In all honesty, no.

No?

No crazy nights in Vegas?,

Maybe, ah, take a pilgrimage to Waco?

Everything I wanted to do, I did.

I focused on being prepared.

And I was.

And here we are.

Oh, my goodness..

Is that Monopoly?

There we go.

Yeah, that's how we kill the time.

I mean, what you say? We're going to be

down here like what, a year, two, three?

Bet you if we started a game right now,

we might even get halfway finished..

Stop talking!

You don't need to make jokes about how

long we're going to be down here.

When nobody knows how

long that's going to be.

You humor is not funny.

I don't appreciate it while I'm trying

to eat, and neither does Michelle.

Now please shut up, and

let us eat in peace.

Emmett?

Pass me a napkin.

I know what you're saying.

I never could finish Monopoly.

That game really does take forever, right?

For me though, it was .. hmm,

'Chutes, and Ladders'. Ahmm,

'Sorry',

and 'Trouble'.

And that thing with the dice, and that

thing that you press, what is that called?

That, that .. 'PoppleMatic Bubble!',

yeah, right!

You ever play that, what

was it, 'Operation'?

- "Loath 'Operation"

- Oh, man, I couldn't play that game.

That noise that thing would make

when you hit that edge, when..

- Good lord,

- That was scary.

Can you give me the salt?

Please?

Ah, shoot. Sorry.

I'm going to need the pepper also,

- What exactly do you think you're doing?

- I'm just asking for the pepper.

- The hell you were? What was that?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

You trying to insult me?

Here in a shelter that I built,

that's keeping you alive?

You don't think I see what you just did?

Is that how you thank me

for saving your life?

- Calm down.

- Shut Up!

Shut Up! And stay in your seat!

Is it?

Let me tell you,

I know what a traitor looks like,

Understand?

I have shown you nothing but

generosity, and hospitality.

I want you to apologize.

And tell me you're going to behave.

I will.

You will what?

I'll behave.

And I'm so sorry.

You have to stay hydrated,.

It's easy to forget down here.

What's wrong?

Nothing

Where are my keys?

Michelle!

Stop!

Give me those keys!

- Come on.

- I'm going.

No! No!

No! Don't do it!

No!

Don't open that door!

It's a car!

It's a car! I see a car!

Here! Here!

Here!

Michelle, listen to me, don't do it!

Help me!

- There's a woman.

- Open the door.

I just.. I want

to come inside.

She looks hurt, she

wants me to let her in!

Do not let her in!

Look at her face, Michelle!

No, no, no .. no, no.

Please open, I don't want to die.

Please, help me, I don't want to die.

Just a little, oh, please open the door.

- Open it.

- She's begging me!

You can't help her!

- Nobody can.

- It'll be okay.

It' be okay, all of us.

Open the door!

Don't listen to her!

Open the door, you b*tch!

Let me in!

Let me in! Let me in! Let me in!

Now!

Now. Now!

Now!

Open!

I know it's hard.

Realizing they're all gone.

The ones you love.

I have something to confess to you.

I crashed into your car.

Your accident.

Was my fault.

When I found out about the incoming

attack, I got frantic.

I knew I needed to get back here

as soon as possible,

Oh, I was driving like a maniac,

I tried to pass you, and..

I'm the reason you went off the road.

And I know I seem like a sensible guy,

But, at the time, I wasn't myself.

It was an accident. But it was my fault.

I was afraid to tell you.

I'm sorry.

You should shower,

You had the smallest amount of air that

came through the hinges, could be toxic.

These are Megan's.

If you want them.

I recognize that woman's car.

Her name was Leslie, I think.

You knew her?

She was a neighbor.

Emmett wasn't the only one

that knew about this place.

If any others somehow survived,

they could be coming here too.

As of Friday, kindness and generosity

are antiquated customs.

I'm going to need some stitches.

Why, you want me to..?

This is your doing, isn't it?

I mean,

I don't think I'm really qualified.

I'll walk you through it.

Here.

Have a drink.

What is it?

Technically, it's ..

Vodka

Safe. I distill it myself.
