10 Cloverfield Lane Page #3

- I just said I distill

it, I didn't say anything

about it tasting good....

Yeah, that's awful.

You want it on the rocks.

Little trick I taught

myself as a young man

stationed on a ship, with

way too much free time.

Every now and again, if

the CO was working us

too hard. We'd freeze

and snap the knob off..

The bathroom door while

they were still inside.

I guess it took an hour or two, to get out

I'm good.

Suit yourself. Cheers.

This is clean.

All you need to do is .. stitch.

You're doing fine.

Stuff I grabbed from your car.

Didn't have time to bring in the booze.

Sadly.

What is all that?

I wanted to design clothes.

No wonder you were so

good with the stiches.

Megan wanted to be an artist.

- She was your daughter?

- Yeah

She was smart, loved to read,

the magazines or just for fun.

She inhaled books.

Anything with Paris.

She liked their movies.

Their culture, you know.

We used to have this little joke,

every once in a while, I'd ask her..

What do you want to be

when you grow up?

And you know what she'd say?

French.

Anyway,

Her mother turned her against me.

Took her off to Chicago.

People are strange creatures

You can't always convince them that

safety is in their own best interest

You don't know they're gone.

Anyway,

At least I tried to help them.

Hey, you know there is nothing

you could've done for that woman

Even if you had let her in,

she still would've died.

You asked earlier about .. regrets,

Yeah, I got some of those.

Welcome to the club.

I mean, I lived my life

in a 40-mile radius.

And that was by design,

I made sure that happened.

I was so fast in high school,

I even managed to outrun my bad grades.

I was all-state track,

Three years in a row.

Caught a full ride to Louisiana Tech

up there in Ruston.

I remember I spent the last

two weeks of that summer,

Showing off the bus ticket they

sent me, to anybody who looked at it

And then came the night

before I was supposed to leave,

And I just got so worried,

About how bad I was

going to do up there

With all those smart kids

So I went out of my way

To get just pissed wasted, so bad that

There was no chance I was waking

up in in the morning.

So I missed the bus

I didn't buy a ticket for the next one

Or the one after that.

Well, if you'd gone,

you might be dead now.

Well, lucky me, right?

Lucky us.

A few, a few years ago,

I was at a hardware store

And there was this little girl,

with her Dad.

And he was in a hurry,

and she wasn't keeping up.

And he kept

yanking on her arm,

really hard, you know.

Too hard.

You know that feeling?

When my Dad got that way,

my brother Collin was always there.

To take the worst of it.

For me.

And after seeing that little girl,

I thought maybe I could

do that

For her.

But I just kept watching

And they were about to leave,

and I'd done nothing.

And,

she slips

And it throws him out off-balance

and he hits her

And I wanted so badly to do something.

To help her, but

I do what I always do

when things get hard

I just panicked and ran.

Look,

We're here, we're alive.

And that means something.

Got it?

You've got to be kidding me.

What?

We're missing pieces here.

Look at this poor cat.

He's been deformed,

he's got one eye.

About to go snorkling and

everything too.

What are you doing?

Ooh, cornering the market on

post-apocalyptic fashion, huh?

Needs more axes and chainsaws.

For what, she has a shotgun.

Yeah, what if up there it's like..

- Tracks?

- Zombies.

Though even Howard doesn't

think that one's possible.

Though you should hear his theory

about mutant space-worms.

What is that? Howard?

Stay calm. We're okay.

- What was that?

- Quiet.

That sounds like helicopters.

Could be military.

But not ours.

How can you tell?

- 14 years in the Navy.

- What's happening up there?

My guess, those flashes that kicked

this all off,

That was phase 1.

Take out your opponent's population

centers, with big hits, all at once

Fast.

And then for round 2.

Ground sweeps.

The satellite log shows an

increase in coded traffic recently.

Possibly extra-terrestrial signals.

I bet what we just heard were air-borne

patrols sent to hunt down

the remaining signs of life.

Like us.

Okay, oh boy..

That's bad.

And that's worse.

What was up there?

Air filtration system.

I can't.. something is

blocking the hedge.

If we can't get it back up, we're

gonna run out of breathable air fast.

You're the only one

small enough to reach it.

Reach what?

The filtration system.

Through there, the main duct.

Someone needs to get in there

and re-start it.

Give me a hand.

Let me go in, she won't

know her way around.

You won't fit, plus your arm.

She'll be fine.

Now, to re-start the unit, you just

swing the handle off and on. Off and on.

That should do it.

And neither of us will be able

to go in and help you if you get stuck.

Don't get stuck.

Michelle?

Everything okay up there?

Looks like a dead end.

That's the incline.

Climb up that,

and you're almost there.

Oh, this sucks.

What's wrong?

He lied to you, he lied about Megan.

What do you mean?

I think he did something horrible to her.

How?

His family moved to Chicago

years ago.

What's this?

Is that blood?

Come with me.

Wait, that's not Megan...

She went missing, two years back.

It was on the news and everything.

Most people just thought she skipped town.

There is a message up there.

It said 'HELP'. It was scratched

on the inside of the window.

This earring was with it.

Did she ever show up,

after she went missing?

He said to me, he said to my face. He said

this is his daughter, he said this...

He took her and he killed her.

I was just thinking,

Maybe we

take away his gun

Tie him up, to confess. Whatever it is he's

done - What confess to who, the police?

Look, like I said,

We can't be the only survivors, right?

- The woman, she was able to get around a

little, right?... Yeah, till she died.

Directly above us, choking to death.

Other people to save

Now, that's a great example of teamwork.

Very well done.

Feel like some music.

Problem solving always puts me

in a musical mood.

Michelle,

You should go shower, just in case.

Sure

The Exciters - Tell Him

I think I might have an idea.

- '10 Better Ways to Style My Bangs'?

- No, not the article. This.

I think I can only make one.

But it's a start.

No kidding.

Hey, Howard

What is this?

You're re-watching '16 Candles'?

'Pretty in Pink'

It was one of Megan's favorite movies.

Can I help you with something?

No, no, I'm just grabbing some water.

Say, ahmm,

You know, I was just thinking..

Not, that I'm trying to tell

you how to run this place.

But I am just,

a bit curious

about Michelle

Say, how close do you think

she got to the air filtration unit?

You think she touched it?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure she touched it.

Yeah, I know she cleaned up after, and

everything.. But I'm just thinking..
