Day of Reckoning Page #2

The eclipse.

It's god's way.

The world has become very evil.

This is his way

of cleansing his world.

It's his world, after all.

He created it.

- We were given a warning...

Ted?

David, it's Laura.

Have you seen the news?

Yeah, of course.

It's been on all night.

David, please, I want you

to bring Tyler home.

Milton's made arrangements

at a shelter.

Laura, you can trust me.

I'm his father.

- He's safe here.

I don't trust this house.

- He'll be safer with us.

- Us?

That is not what I meant.

Can you not do this right now?

This is not a joke. I want you

to bring Tyler home now!

Okay, yeah, you win.

I'll, uh...

Yeah, I'll bring him over

right now...

as soon as he's done

with what he's doing.

What do you mean?

What is he doing?

Yeah, he's working on

a project right now.

It's for school.

I'll have him right over.

What is this?

"555-2674."

555-2674.

555-2674.

Tyler, Tyler, Tyler, buddy.

All right.

Come in.

Laura, everything's been

prearranged with the shelter,

but we gotta get there early

before it fills up.

I can't find Tyler.

Oh, that's okay.

We got time.

Let me show you a trick.

Where's your computer?

- It's right there.

- Ah.

That your phone?

That's his number?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Uh-huh.

- Skate park.

- Yeah.

How could it happen

on such a beautiful day?

- You think we'll see tomorrow?

- Don't say that.

Maybe it won't even happen.

And you know what?

If it does, we'll hide.

A lot of people survived.

Don't leave me.

Not even for a Mondo board

with spitfires.

Hey.

You know, my mom, she says

my dad wasn't there for her

when she needed him most.

I won't do that to you.

I promise.

Holy crap.

Look at that.

It's the second sign.

They're swarming everywhere!

Come on.

This can't be good.

What the hell is going on?

Oh, my god.

- Check it out!

- Let's get out of here!

Uh, maybe I should reconfirm

our reservations at the shelter.

Let's go.

Yes, this is Milton sing.

S-i-n-g.

I have a reservation for five.

Back online.

Carl!

Please! No!

Tyler! Tyler!

Dad!

I oughta wring your neck, buddy.

I'm sorry.

She had nowhere else to go.

I'm so sorry, Mr. Shepherd.

- Wait. What is that?

- Emergency sirens.

- I didn't know we had those.

- Yeah, me neither.

Come on, let's go.

- My skateboard.

- Nah. We'll get it later.

Come on. Uncle Ted's got some

kind of bunker in the desert.

We need to get your mom

and get out of the city.

- Come on, this way.

- Tyler! Tyler!

Oh, hey, speak of the devil.

Tyler!

Let's get in.

All right, come on,

let's get in.

Perfect timing, Laura,

as always.

Hey, Milton.

David.

You know your way to Barstow?

We're going

to the Topanga shelter.

I told you

Milton made arrangements.

We have a little over an hour,

you guys.

Right.

An hour it is.

You know your way

to Topanga, Milton?

Yes, I know my way

to Topanga, David.

I just don't remember

going this way.

David, please.

- How far?

- We're fine, we're fine.

Ah, sh*t.

He's coming! Lucifer!

Come on, come on.

We're not gonna make it.

We are gonna make it.

That's just her being positive.

What?!

Jeez!

Wait! Repent your soul!

There it is.

Women and children, let's go!

Step back!

Women and children only!

- Women and children only!

- Step back, sir!

Step back!

Women and children only!

Women and children only.

What?

Stand in this line.

Women and children only!

Sir, sir, officer,

this is my group.

- We made arrangements.

- Hold on right there.

Step to the right, sir.

This is my group.

We made arrangements.

I'm sorry, ma'am.

The shelter's nearly full.

It's women and children only.

I can't help you.

I'm sorry.

You're not listening to me,

okay?

He called yesterday

and made arrangements.

Women and children only.

Women and children only!

Women and children only!

Back up, sir.

Step to the side, sir!

Women and children only!

You take care of your mom, okay?

No, no, I'm not leaving you.

- I'm so sorry.

- It's okay. Go.

Laura, it's fine.

Go, hurry.

- I'm not gonna...

- Listen to me!

Take care of your mother

and get into the shelter.

Go! Go!

Hey, I reinforced the house,

remember? It's fine.

You got it. You got it.

- It's gonna be okay.

- He'll be fine.

- We gotta go.

- You can't do this!

You can't separate us!

Sorry, sir.

Women and children only.

Come on, David,

we gotta get out of here.

Come on.

Ah, sheesh.

- Please. Hurry up.

- Hold up, hold up.

No, I'm sorry.

- Tyler!

- Tyler! Tyler!

- No, Tyler! Damn it!

- I'm not gonna leave you!

No! He's my dad!

I'm gonna stay with him!

Listen to me!

Please come in.

That's it! Shelter's full!

No more people!

- We are at capacity!

- Please listen to me!

Hey, shelter is full!

No more people!

- We are at capacity!

- Sir, please listen to me!

I have my family here.

We made arrangements.

We are at capacity!

Never mind! Let's go!

Laura, come on!

- You're not listening to me!

- Laura, let's go! Ty, go!

Let's go, let's go.

We gotta find shelter now.

There are women here,

and children!

Come on, let's go.

No more people!

No more people! I'm sorry!

Oh, my god.

Oh, my god.

They're not picking up?

- No.

- It's going to voicemail.

Yes, it's going

straight to voicemail.

Oh, my god. Oh, my god.

David, are you sure about

the house being reinforced?

No, I just said that.

Breathe, Laura.

We can still make a run

for Ted's place in the desert.

The desert? Are you kidding me?

We'll never make it.

We'll take the back roads,

avoid the highway.

- We'll be out of the city.

- We have ten minutes.

- We have to find somewhere now.

- I know where we're going.

We're gonna go to the school.

It's only a few minutes away.

- We have a secure basement.

- It'll be mobbed by now.

And that basement isn't secure.

There's ten different ways in,

and kids go in there

all the time to make out.

Young man, just trust me.

It's gonna be fine!

- It's the place to go!

- The basement isn't secure!

Everybody, just calm down!

Just breathe and calm down.

We'll be fine!

It's a secure basement.

Milton.

Is he still not picking up?

- What do we do?

- It's all stopped.

- Nobody's moving.

- What is going on?

What's happening?

I can't go anywhere.

We'll figure it out, guys.

Laura, go see if there's a door.

Tyler, see if there's

some opening.

See if there's anywhere to hide.

Come on, there's a door there.

I'll go over here.

Yo, dad!

I don't know what to do!

It's locked up.

I can't get in.

I know. Get in the car.

Guys, we gotta go now!

They'll tear the school apart.

We gotta get out of the city.

I know the way

to the L.A. river.

We can take it

all the way to the dirt.

- I'll drive.

- Let me drive!

Hey!

I got it.

No! No! You're not gonna

get me killed today!

- Get in!

- This is my car!

Milton! Milton!

Milton!

Get in the car.

Get in the car.

Dad, go, go!

Drive, drive, drive!

Oh, my god.

Anything?

No.

Maddie, you still with us?

Yeah.

We're gonna be okay, all right?
