on water, old man...

'cause you're gonna need

a f***in' miracle...

to make that happen.

Hey, just give 'em the guns,

please.

Ethan.

If it's any consolation,

you will get 'em back.

We'll stick with the deal

that Sam made with you.

We'll give you fuel, ammo,

whatever you need.

But for tonight your ass is

gonna be locked in a cell.

F***in', thank you!

Frank, come on,

he gave you his guns.

What if it was a scam?

He works his way in here,

tries to kill us in our sleep...

take everything we have.

But he saved my life.

It is decided.

Let me show you to your room.

You'll have to excuse my old

man. He bleeds blue.

He did prior to this sh*t

happening, anyways.

He was chief of detectives back

when detectives still mattered.

Then we lose Mom.

My brother Evan becomes one

of those... things.

I guess he kinda lost the plot

a little after that.

There's plenty of that

goin' around.

Yeah, well, the whole world's

gone crazy, right?

So, lemme ask you,

what's crazy in a crazy world?

Do you wanna hold my baby?

Come on, follow me.

So, why don't you guys just

drive straight through?

It's at least three days'

drive to Baja.

With all the families,

the children...

we'd never have lasted

that long on the road.

And if the marauders didn't get

to us, these things would've.

It'd be like ringin' the

dinner bell.

That's why we needed that plane.

This, you know, we really

believed our defenses...

would hold, you know?

Our plan was to wait 'em out,

rebuild.

Figured eventually these

things...

would starve themselves

to death.

Our mistake.

That bigger one I shot

at at the garage?

- The one in the camo?

- Yeah.

He's new... showed up

out of the blue...

maybe two, three weeks ago.

Big son of a b*tch, and this

one's a little different...

he... he watches.

We're guessin' he's the one that

led the rest of these things...

to us, 'cause they've been

hittin' us hard...

every night ever since, man.

Gathering like roaches up

at that hotel.

Where's that exactly?

The Baker?

Yeah.

About a mile from here.

It's infested, man.

Listen, pal, my dad's good

on his word, okay?

He'll live up to the deal.

Hey, thanks for bringin'

Sam home safe.

Take a look at the bright side,

you're a lot safer in this cage.

Just keep an eye on him.

I'm sorry about them locking

you up like this.

Hey, what was New York like?

Same as everywhere else,

people dead, dying.

I never got to see it.

I always wanted to.

I was gonna go to law school

and get married...

have kids, all that stuff.

You met Ethan. I was engaged to

his younger brother, Evan.

We were at home when

everything happened.

The news said, "Stay in your

homes, lock your doors...

"you'll be safe there,"

so that's where we were.

Two of them got in and Evan told

me to go to the bathroom...

and lock the door and hide

and that's exactly what I did.

I can remember sitting on the

cold floor and just covering...

my ears like a scared

little kid...

but I could still hear

all this noise...

and then it just stopped...

and when he came in after me,

he wasn't Evan anymore.

He'd forgotten who I was.

If Ethan hadn't showed up,

I'd be dead.

He had to kill his own brother.

Nobody should have to do that,

you know?

Once they turn, it doesn't

matter who they were before.

They'll turn on you... faster

than you could pull the trigger.

How do you think it

all happened?

A lot of speculation on how it

happened, but it doesn't matter.

Pretty obvious how

it's gonna end.

No, there's a survivalist

colony in Baja.

It's... it's in the middle

of the desert.

It's remote, 150 miles

from the nearest anything.

Even as fast as those things

are, they couldn't get to it...

without burning to death first.

Listen to me, it doesn't matter

how much distance...

you put between you and them.

They will find a way.

Then why'd you even come here?

I thought you wanted to get

on that plane.

I never said that.

You know, there's been somethi"

I've been thinkin' a lot about.

Back in the garage, I saw your

face when the door closed.

This moment of recognition

between you and that thing.

You wanna tell me

what that was about?

Yeah, he took somethin'

from me...

and I'm gonna do whatever it

takes to get it back.

Hey. I thought I told you

to watch her.

Watch her do what?

Feed a fake baby a real nipple?

It's okay, get some rest.

I got her.

I could stay if you want,

keep you company.

It's okay, I got her.

All right.

There's only so many cats

left in the world, right?

You're gonna fold eventually.

I got nothin' on four.

- Try three, Chris.

- Nothin'.

- Once more, man.

- There's nothin', man.

Ethan, what do we got?

Dad, I got no feed, man.

I got no cameras. I can't see

anything outside the building.

No garage, no front entrance,

nothin'.

I rigged this thing hard, man.

Chris?

These mother f***ers took

the cameras out.

What the f*** are they doin'?

Whatever it is, it's not good.

God.

F***!

That's up top!

Annabelle, stay here.

I'll be right back.

Sophia.

Quick, babe, quick!

Vlad!

Sam!

- You okay?

- I'm good.

Chris, get up on the fifth

and find out how they got in...

and then seal it up.

I'm on it.

F*** me, he's bleeding.

He's bit!

Wait! Wai... it's...

It's okay, Frank.

Frank, we can just cut it off.

I'm sorry, Harker,

it's too late for that, man.

Somebody do something real

f***ing quick.

We don't have much time.

I said wait.

Frank, please don't do this in

front of my little girl, okay?

Sophia, I want you to go outside

with Miss Earnesta, okay?

Sophia, Daddy loves you.

Wait!

Bag him.

Please, everybody, listen up.

The sun burns in four hours,

okay?

Everybody rest up and be ready

to go at first light.

Tomorrow, we leave this place,

so rest up.

Open it up.

Okay. We're hot. Striking.

Hold it. Hold it.

Somethin's got a hold of it.

I don't know.

Try it again.

Motor's tryin'. It's engaged,

it just isn't going.

One more time.

Ho, ho, ho.

Stop.

You're gonna burn the motor out.

What's goin' on?

We gotta go around.

Chris, hold the fort down.

You got it.

- Bish?

- I don't know.

Somethin's bindin' it.

Somethin's got a hold of it.

Holy sh*t.

So, that's what all the

noise was.

They don't do sh*t like this.

F***!

I'm tellin' ya,

if we don't move them cars...

the garage door ain't even

gonna budge...

with all that weight on it.

Nah, we'll never move enough

of that sh*t...

to get us outta here before

nightfall.

No, we get caught out in the

open road with all those...

people after dark, then we'll

have every one of those...

things from miles around chasi"

us all the way to the airport.

If we even made it there.

We'll just have to move

what we can today.

Leave first thing in the

morning.

This building ain't gonna

last 'til morning.

No. No way.

We move even half of that

sh*t today...

and they'll just move it right

back when night comes.

And they can do it all in one
