Nobody's coming for you for a month.

Jake, come here a second.

What the hell is that?

Oh, it's pot.

It helps her with her cancer.

Didn't tell you I have a little greenhouse

at home, didn't want you arresting me.

Now I know why you wanted to

go live with grandma.

No, I just thought you and Stella would just

want some privacy.

It worked out.

Ah, computer's down.

I'll call Gus.

Strange.

The phone's down too.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheriff.

Soooo, sweet.

So...

...helpless against what is coming.

He's just trying to freak us out.

It's working.

We have more important things to

think about.

I'll check on Gus.

Check on Gus.

Bar the windows.

Try to hide.

They're coming.

This time they gonna take me with them.

Honor me.

Yeah, for all that I have done.

They?

Who are they?

Our generator's kicked in.

- I meant ????

- We have to stay here with him?

Sure. We'll keep an eye on him.

As soon as the lines are back up,

get Billy over here, stay on the walkie-talkie

with me until the power gets back.

Gus!

Gus?

This is sheriff Eben Olson, stay in your homes.

...lock your doors, and

load your firearms.

- Is your genny up and running?

- yeah.

Anyone with a genny should go

home immediately just to be safe.

If you don't have one, you should

meet at the diner.

I heard gun shots Eben.

What the hell is going on?

I don't know.

Just go home, I'll let you know

when I find out, okay?

Let's just have dinner John.

Please?

John! John!

Ally!

No! John!

John!

Ally!

Ally!

Oh my God!!!

No way out of town.

No one to come help.

- Shut up!

- Ignore him Jake.

You can feel it?

That cold ain't the weather.

That's death approaching.

Who do you think they gonna

take first, hmm?

The girl who takes a gun, will help her?

A kid, a sheriff's kid?

Shut up!

Oh, yeah.

Thank you for the plastic.

I can split it apart and pick the lock.

No it won't.

Jake!

Oh, sheriff.

Helen, get the first aid kit.

All right, time to talk!

Who are you here with?

Who are you here with?!

Who did that to Gus?!

You are dead man.

Where are they!?!

I don't talk to dead men.

I DON'T TALK TO DEAD MEN!!!

Well if I'm dead, no one's getting loose

from here.

You're all dead!

I can take care of that for now, but Doc Miller should...

No. Wait til the power's back, call Doc Miller then.

This f***er doesn't deserve anything til then.

Billy and I will work our way from the south

street to the pipeline.

His friends don't have many places to hide.

I'll join you.

Oh I got it.

Only you, me and Billy are the authorities.

It's stupid not to take more help.

We got walkie talkies, we'll be fine.

There's a tazer in the back...

if he gives you any trouble....

...use it. Okay?

You drive, I'm riding shotgun.

Stop the car.

What?

Stop the f***ing truck!

I thought I saw something.

- Get in the truck.

- What?

Get in the f***ing truck!

Jesus Christ!

- Holy Sh*t!

What was that?

Who is that? Where was that?

Where was that?

No...no!

- Helen!

- Helen!

Helen! Helen, come in!

Jake?

Helen?

Are you here?

Oh sh*t.

They didn't take me.

Who did they take?

They didn't take me.

Did they take my brother?

Finish me off.

Finish me off.

Eben.

Eben, look at me.

No.

What are they?

We don't know.

Wilson, I wanna go home.

It's okay Dad, it's okay.

You keep shooting and they....

...they just keep coming.

How is that possible?

I don't know. They're all coked up on PCP

or something.

They don't feel any bullets.

They killed every sled dog in town.

They took Aaron and Gabe.

They took my grandma.

- Lucy, is back there alive?

- Oloft

Jake?

Eben!

Who the hell are these people Eben?

What do they want?

We'll figure that out.

We'll get you guy some place safe.

There's a generator at the ??????

No, it's way major out of town, we need

some place close to hide.

Now.

Charlie Kelso's attic?

It has a pull down ladder, you

can't tell it's there.

He would've boarded up his home

before he left.

Which is exactly why it's a good idea.

We'll pull down a board to get it,

and then tack it back.

Carter.

I want you to stay as close to the building

as possible.

If you hear anything, go through a crawl

space and go strait to Kelso's attic.

I'll meet you there.

What are you gonna do?

Something's gotta slow them down.

I'm coming with you.

Okay.

Go on, get out of here!

What the hell is going on?

- I don't know.

We gotta lose this thing.

And go where?

We know a place.

Go!

They seem to work.

Looks well hidden.

...the feet of grandma Helen.

Like...

...vampires, you know?

Vampires don't exist, Jake.

They don't fall when you shoot them.

Well neither do I.

Well, I don't care what they are.

I just care what we do about them.

What are we gonna do about them?

We'll sleep in shifts.

We'll ration our food, and then

we'll figure out the next step.

We have 2 advantages...

We know this town...

...and we know the cold.

We live here for a reason...

...because nobody else can.

Yeah, right.

Gondunk lesz rd.

I guess it's good you didn't want

kids huh?

Imagine...

Where, where's Catherine?

Dad, dad.

Mom died a long time ago.

Isaac...

You should go to sleep now.

That's right, that's right.

Go to sleep.

Thank you.

They're ransacking the Clark's place.

They're tearing through everyone's home.

We have to move!

When do you suggest we do that?

Now...

...while we have the strength.

Until we have some way to stop them,

it's suicide Lucy.

We can stay here til they find us and then....

and they can kill us all,, or we can

run like hell.

Now, some of us won't make it, but it's better

than all of us dying.

- Shut up.

- You should sit down.

So, maybe Denise or Lucy dies, but that's okay

as long as you still have a chance?

Hey.

If we start to fight, that will get us killed

a lot faster.

We go to the general store, and get supplies,

then we go to the utilidorm.

We'll never make it there without cover.

If we get there, we can last the month.

The next blizzard, we'll be ready.

Somebody!

Help!

Help!

Please!

Anyone....

We need to get her in here

before they find her.

- Wait.

- What?

Look at the rooftops behind her.

They're using her as bait.

Please!

Please no.

No, I tried. There isn't anyone there.

God.

No God.

I've known Kirsten my whole life.

I'm going out.

Why are we waiting here for Eben?

...We can make a run

for it and give it all we got.

- Shhhh

- If I can kill anything, I can kill these things.

We'll die in here otherwise.

- Eben doesn't know what he's doing!

- Just move

- Beau.

We agreed to ???????

- Just move!

- We need you here.

Okay, okay.

John.

How long you been under there?

I'm not sure.

Where's Ally?

They took Ally.

Couldn't follow.

You okay?

My leg hurts.

I know a safe place.

I'm going to pull it out.

But stay quiet.

Come on.

I'm really hungry.

We'll get you something to eat.

[Howling noise]

What happened here?

Sh*t.

Eben.

Carl.

John! Stay back!

Stay back!

John.

Are you hurt?
