Daylight's End Page #3

night, they can do it all again.

It would take us days

to clear a path...

even if we knew how to do it

and if we had the means.

What we gotta do is get vehicles

from the outside.

Exactly. I mean, we just get

some of those...

load up our sh*t and be

on our way.

Nah, man, those vehicles

have been rotting...

out there for three years.

Batteries are dead,

tires are dry rotted.

We're never gonna find enough

working vehicles...

to get us outta here by sunset.

There's gotta be a way.

Take out their leader.

What?

I kill that Alpha and the rest

of those f***in' animals...

will be rippin' each other

apart to take his place.

How do you know that?

Because I've done it before...

and that just might give you

the chance you need...

to get to that plane.

What the hell are you talkin'

about? You wanna go after them?

Attacking those things

is the exact opposite...

of what we need to do.

You know, I'm tryin' to keep

these people alive?

I'm not askin' for any of these

people to go with me.

Well, what exactly are you

askin' for?

Gunpowder, detonators,

explosives.

You give me the supplies

I need...

and I will hit that den

when they sleep.

I knew it. This guy is gonna

lead us to our grave.

Who the f*** are you...

that we should be listenin'

to you anyway?

And what the hell are you

even doin' in here?

Why don't you shut your fucki"

mouth for once?

So lemme get this straight...

you're gonna make your way down

to the heart of these things...

kill the Alpha on its own

turf...

with the hopes of leaving the

other ones distracted...

long enough so we can all hop

in our imaginary cars...

and drive this very real

nightmare-filled...

90-mile trip to Sam's plane?

Yeah.

Cool, just checkin'.

That den, that hotel,

it's 12 stories of darkness...

night and day.

Yeah, they sleep in packs.

Lower levels, basement.

That's where I'll find 'em.

You know where they are...

why don't you just burn the damn

building down?

Yeah, I could... I could torch

the place...

but as soon as one of those

things wakes up and screams...

they'll scatter like roaches.

I have to get the Alpha.

That's all this is about for

you, isn't it? The Alpha.

You wanna get outta here, right?

Fly off to this brave new world?

Well, you give me what I want...

and I'll at least make that

a possibility.

You're not gonna get 25 feet

in that goddamn hotel.

It's a death trap.

You know it and I know it.

You're all runnin' out of time.

You will die if you stay here.

We have no other choice.

We gotta find them vehicles.

This city had two million

people in it.

We can find cars that run.

Chief, it'll never work.

Now, we may find the cars,

but...

we'll never get to that plane

before dark.

We just gotta hang on

a little longer.

What's there to hang on to?

Chief?

I mean, at least this guy's

got a plan...

that gives us a fighting chance.

Chris, what are you talkin'

about?

What about Madeline?

What about Max?

I already lost one family.

I ain't gonna lose another.

Chief, I'd follow you to Hell

and back, you know that.

But I'm sorry, today you're

wrong.

He's right, Dad.

We're not gonna make it to

that plane before nightfall.

This could be our only chance.

You wanna go? Go.

You wanna die? Go die.

The rest of us, we got

work to do.

What?

I don't trust Rourke.

Well, let's not forget you're

the one that brought him here...

in the first place, right?

Well, maybe I shouldn't have.

Maybe I was wrong.

Listen, Sam, I know it's all

about startin' over for you...

all right? For all of us.

But we tried, right?

How can you just give up

like this?

What about Frank? I mean, what

about all these people?

They're our family now.

You know, I used to be

a lot like you, Sam...

think that maybe that somehow,

someway we could see this...

through and now, I realize

sacrifices have to be made.

What?

Come on, Sam, we're all

just waitin'...

for the inevitable here right?

The thing is I made a decision.

I don't want one of those

things standin' over me...

when I take my final breath.

I may not be able to beat 'em...

but I'm not gonna sit here

and do nothin' either.

There, is that good?

It's good.

Madeline, now you know

when I found you and Max...

I said I'd look after you.

I'm doin' this for us,

you understand that?

I know.

Come here, young man.

Now you take care of your momma

for me, do ya hear?

Hey, Dad?

You remember when we were kids,

you used to tell Evan and I...

stories about John Hunt Morgan

and his Raiders?

They made it all the way

to Indiana...

and Ohio during the Civil War.

It was the farthest north

any of the Confederates...

had ever traveled.

They drew tens of thousands of

Federals away from their duties.

But the south lost the war

and Morgan and his Raiders...

they were all slaughtered.

Yeah, they were slaughtered,

but not on that day.

Listen, Dad, I know it's been

different since Evan.

I know that.

For what's it's worth...

I want you to know that I'm

sorry that I had to be the one.

Come to see me off?

That's sweet.

See you later, crocodile.

Don't do this, Drew.

Rourke knows what he's doin',

all right? He's got a plan.

Does he?

Kiss me and I'll stay.

I'm serious, Drew.

So was I. See ya.

Up the street is a stop sign

with the center shot out.

It's 300 yards.

Crosswind is comin' in cuttin'

through these buildings...

wreak havoc on my bullets.

So, if you find yourself

in a heap of trouble...

make it back to that marker and

I'll cover you from up top.

Sam, get those people moving.

We gotta find some vehicles.

And Weston, get that front door

camera back online.

Copy that, Chief, I'm on it.

You heard him.

What day is it?

July 27th.

I thought so.

Why?

My son's birthday is two days

from now.

I used to send him a card

every year...

but I never heard anything back.

National Guard did all they

could to protect us.

And where we're headin',

this hotel...

they made their last stand

there.

Didn't realize they were

just packin' meat...

in one place like a goddamn

buffet.

They lasted two days.

Yeah, I wanted to get down

there myself. Hell, we all did.

Luckily, Frank talked me out

of it. Kept us all together.

I remember when Frank brought

Drew in for his DUI...

right when the plague started.

Right, Drew?

Yeah.

Been with us ever since.

Vlad, on the other hand,

we found Vlad wandering...

the city half-naked

and starvin' to death.

You couldn't right a better

story, actually.

Him and his Russian commando

platoon jacked this airliner...

out of Moscow.

Brought it all the way to Miami

and crash landed, right?

Hey, Vlad, man, now you Russians

can fight and drink vodka...

but you can't fly planes?

What's up with that?

Don't worry, buddy.

If I lived in Russia, I'd wanna

get the f*** out, too.

They're gonna be in the deepest,

darkest hole in this place.

The basement.

Exactly, and that's where

we're gonna bury 'em.

Listen, if sh*t goes south, find
