Stay inside.

Do not answer the door.

The U.S. military will be

setting up extraction points.

This information is coming in

very sporadically.

We'll keep broadcasting

as we get more info.

The f***ing government.

Bridges and tunnels are closed.

- Useless as usual.

- JFK and LaGuardia are closed.

They got to realize

how f***ed up this is.

Logan Airport is closed.

My grandmother is not

gonna understand.

If soldiers come to her house,

she's not gonna leave.

We have to get there

before they do.

Is she close?

She's about a block and a half

on Willoughby Street.

[ Thudding ]

Did you hear that?

Mr. Argo?

[ Gasps ]

Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Mr. Argo, what happened?

Candy, they stole candy,

f***ing candy.

I didn't try to stop them,

but he still stabbed me.

LUCY:
Those guys?

They...

Yes.

Ohh.

It's all a game to them.

Mr. Argo?

Sh*t.

Mr. Argo?

[ Gunfire, people screaming ]

STUPE:
Lucy. Lucy, we got to get

the f*** out of here.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Okay.

[ Door opens ]

[ Door closes ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Dog barking ]

My grandmother's house

is that way.

Let's go.

Oh, God.

Sh*t.

MAN:
Dude, get the f***ing bags.

We got to get out of here.

[ Banging ]

We f***ed that guy up,

some old dude.

Yo, man, got the keys.

- Got the keys.

- We got to go.

[ Clanging ]

Dragging your ass, man.

Come on, come on, come on.

Yo, come on, man.

Let's go.

- [ Gunshots ]

- What the f***?

- F***! Aah!

- [ Man groans ]

- Drive, drive, drive.

- [ Gunfire ]

[ Tires screech ]

Oh, my God.

[ Breathing heavily ]

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

STUPE:
Oh, God.

We need to stop the bleeding.

Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

What the hell were you thinking?

[ Crying ]

Are you hit anywhere else?

No.

God damn it.

What were you thinking?

F***.

[ Moaning ]

My finger.

There's so much blood.

Oh, my God.

We'll fix it when we get to your

grandmother's house, all right?

Come on.

We got to keep moving.

Damn it.

LUCY:
That's the guy

that stabbed Mr. Argo.

He f***ing killed Mr. Argo

for no reason.

He was gonna shoot

this guy, too.

What are you doing?

Giving these

to help with the pain.

LUCY:

We can't just leave him here.

- We can't just leave him.

- We can't help him.

We got to keep moving!

Let's go.

Let's go!

LUCY:

Okay. Okay.

[ Gunshot in distance ]

[ Explosion, people screaming ]

[ Explosion, dog barking ]

[ Siren wailing in distance ]

MAN:
We're coming in.

Open the door.

We will use force.

This is an order.

[ Keys jingling ]

LUCY:

Grandma, where are you?

Grandma?

She must be upstairs.

[ Footsteps depart ]

Grandma?

Hello?

STUPE:
Lucy?

[ Crying ]

Her heart wasn't very strong.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry I wasn't here.

Oh, God.

Oh, God.

STUPE:
We should...

We should get her off the floor.

Oh, God.

F***! God!

[ Crying ]

[ Zipper opens ]

[ Rattling ]

STUPE:
Gonna check the front,

see how much time we have.

Here, take these.

They'll help you and your hand.

I'll be right back.

[ Gunshots in distance ]

[ People shouting ]

[ Gunfire ]

[ Dog barking ]

[ Gunshots ]

The neighborhood

is fighting back.

We got a few minutes.

Get that hand fixed up,

get the f*** out of here.

[ Breathes shakily ]

[ Zipper opens ]

[ Zipper opens ]

Is it bad?

Is it bad?

Looks like we stopped

a lot of bleeding.

Ow, ow. Sh*t.

F***.

Oh, God.

You're such an a**hole.

That's what my wife says.

Your wife is a very smart lady.

Bet you can't wait

to see her and your kid.

What did you do in the military?

STUPE:

I was a hospital coroner.

LUCY:

Ow! Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

STUPE:

A medic.

[ Crying ]

So you were a medic.

Now you're a janitor.

That's good.

STUPE:

Tired of watching people die.

[ Breathing shakily ]

[ Breathing heavily ]

Oh, God.

I feel weird.

I feel really weird.

Like...

I feel like my...

my insides are, like, floating.

It feels good. It feels...

I'm not complaining,

but it just...

I don't know what's going on.

I just...

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

What am I gonna do

when I get married?

Jose.

I guess it doesn't

really matter anymore, huh?

Why God gave you two hands,

right?

- [ Winces ]

- Got nine fingers left.

[ Groans ]

Do you believe in God?

I do.

I believe in God.

Thank you for helping me.

STUPE:

Who said I was helping you?

[ Knock on door ]

MAN:

Open the door.

[ Indistinct talking ]

- [ Knocking on door ]

- Oh!

- [ Knocking on door ]

- Is there another way out?

LUCY:

The basement.

[ Muffled pounding ]

- STUPE:
Lucy!

- [ Door breaks open ]

[ Radio chatter ]

[ Gunfire in distance ]

[ Explosion ]

[ Indistinct shouting ]

Oh, I feel really sick.

[ Radio chatter ]

My sister's house is that way.

We're gonna go that way.

No.

The soldiers went that way.

No. We're gonna go that way.

We're gonna get my sister.

Come on.

Let's go.

LUCY:

Well, I'm going.

Lucy!

F***!

Goddamn it.

[ Gunshots ]

[ Car alarm blaring ]

[ Door buzzing ]

F*** are you doing?

[ Buzzer continues ]

LUCY:

My sister lives here.

- Okay?

- [ Door buzzes ]

[ Gunshots ]

[ Knock on door ]

[ Mid-tempo music playing ]

- [ Knock on door ]

- Aah.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Who the f*** is that guy?

- No, no, no.

- Who the f*** is that guy?

- Shut her up.

- Get the f*** out of my house.

- Shut her up.

- Hey, hey, hey, hey. Hey.

- Lucy!

- Will you shut her up?

- No, no, no. Stop.

Calm down. Relax.

Listen to me.

- Get out!

- No, no, no. Listen to me.

Jose is dead, and this guy

saved me from these...

- He's a friend.

- What?

Are you on drugs?

Did he f***ing drug you?

- No.

- Motherf***er!

Hey, do you have any idea

what's going on right now?

What?

No. I've been asleep.

The f***ing neighbors have been

blasting "Call of Duty" all day,

and it just woke me up.

You haven't heard

any of these helicopters

or anything

that's been going on?

Lucy, there's always

helicopters.

This is Brooklyn. You've been

gone too long, college girl.

Listen, listen.

Sit down. Sit.

Okay. I want you

to pay attention to me.

Why are you being so serious?

I was thrown on the ground

and zip-tied by this soldier,

and then there was

these two guys

that followed me

into this basement.

And then this guy, he helped me.

He saved my life.

What?

This is...

This is...

This is too much.

My... My brain is gonna melt.

This is...

Lucy, this is too much.

I mean, Lucy, I think you're

just a little too high, man.

- But...

- No. I'm not on any...

I mean, I...

Well, I am on drugs.

I'm on drugs that he gave me

for my finger, but that's it.

[ Sighs ] All right.

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna go get

my sh*t together,

and then when I get back,

you and me and him,

we're getting out of here.

We're gonna get

somewhere safe, okay?

[ Stammering ]

What about Grandma?

She's gone.

No. What?

What?

- What?

- I didn't know what to do.

- BELINDA:
No.

- LUCY:
I'm sorry.

- [ Belinda crying ]

- Okay.

- I'll be right back.

- Lucy.

LUCY:

Hey, keep an eye on her for me.
