We got to go. He's coming towards us.

No, we should just wait here.

Just wait here.

Listen, we wait here,

They're fighting him right now.

If we wait here, they'll find us.

No, we can't stay.

It's okay. It's okay.

-I'm so scared.

-I know. I know. I know.

My name is Robert Hawkins.

It's 6:
42 a.m. on Saturday, May 23.

Approximately seven hours ago,

something attacked the city.

I don't know what it is.

If you found this tape... I mean,

if you're watching this right now,

then you probably know more

about it than I do.

Whatever it is,

it killed my brother, Jason Hawkins.

It killed my best friend, Hudson Platt,

and Marlena Diamond,

and many, many others.

We've crashed here in Central Park

and taken shelter under this bridge.

The military has begun

bombing the creature

and we're caught in the middle.

Okay. Ready?

It's okay.

-Beth, look at me.

-I don't know what to say.

Well, just tell them who you are.

My name is Elizabeth Mclntyre.

I don't know why this is happening.

But we're gonna wait here

until this passes.

Rob, we're gonna wait here.

Look at me, Beth.

Look at me. Look at me.

-I love you.

-I love you.

I know what I'm talking about.

Come on, admit it.

You are going to miss me

a little bit, right?

Yeah, we'll see.

Okay, yeah, all right.

All right, we're almost out of tape.

We got, like, three seconds left.

What do you wanna say?

What do you wanna say?

Last thing to the camera.

I had a good day.
