Dead Within

---

Hey, you.

Hey.

Hi, Teddy.

Hi, guys.

Hi.

How was traffic?

Well, it wasn't so bad

once we got out of the city.

Come hold your baby

so Kim can have some wine.

Hey.

Want to go to Daddy?

There you go, Lily.

I mean,

why spend half your time

traveling when you can

spend 30 minutes in the car?

Yeah. We're in the middle of a mountain.

Perfect.

You can hear the creek

and the crickets every night.

Oh, that's so wonderful.

You do what you got

to do for your family.

Over here. Look.

Hold on.

Hey.

Hey.

Come on, help us.

Please.

Let us in.

We know you're in there.

I can see you moving.

They're out here.

They're coming.

We're okay.

We're not infected, I swear.

Our eyes are good.

Open the door.

This is the only secure

house we've seen in days.

They're all over the place.

Please, just for tonight.

We should let them in.

No.

They're going to kill us.

Open up or we're dead.

We're worse than dead,

and you know it.

You know what will happen to us.

Just let her in, please.

We're not bad people.

Please!

Open up!

Open this f***ing door!

I'm getting in there,

you hear me?

Open this f***ing door now!

Come on!

Let us in!

They're going to kill us!

Get away from me!

Shh, okay, honey, okay.

What are you doing?

You're asleep.

Huh?

Just sleep. I got it.

Mike.

I got it.

Can you watch the door?

Should we say grace?

I was kidding.

Did you season these?

Mm.

Nutmeg.

Gotcha.

I'm hungry.

Don't eat my peach.

I didn't eat it.

Kim. Kim. Kimmy.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done that.

Hello?

Hello?

Anyone out there?

Anybody out there?

Just nod if you can hear me.

Hello?

Anyone out there?

If you can hear me,

we're safe.

We need batteries.

There are trollers around.

We're up Canyon Road. Follow the two oak

trees. Don't tell them where we are.

If you keep traveling...

Don't tell them where we are.

We got to give them

a chance.

Idiot. You don't want

anyone to find us.

We need batteries, food.

Are you crazy?

Speak up if you're out there,

you hear me, a**holes?

Hello?

What's gotten into you?

Huh?

We need help, Mike.

Hey, don't tell them

where we are.

It's you and me, babe.

Don't forget dish soap

if you find it.

Yeah.

Okay.

What if I came with you?

I don't think

that's a good idea.

It's dangerous out there.

Then don't go.

Then we'll starve.

See you tonight.

Be safe.

You, too.

Hello?

Can anyone hear me?

Did Erica sound infected?

Do they ever sound infected?

Maybe I'm infected.

Stop it.

Maybe I am.

Don't say that.

I'm the one who's

going out there every day.

You could be.

Then we're

all f***ed, hmm?

I need to show you something.

Okay.

What is it?

It's not in the water.

What is this? I found these news

reports in a house on a printer.

They're not dated

that long ago, okay?

It's new information.

It's all we got.

"No hope.

Communication's down.

Virus spreads.

Paranoia in unwitting hosts.

Avoid anyone with black eyes

or black blood.

It might be you.

I know.

Take solace in death."

I mean...

It's not in the water, though, look.

What the f***?

It's not water?

What are you talking about?

Look at what this says,

"No hope from CDC.

There's no hope. Too late.

I know, but... Listen. Wait.

Communications down."

This is what it keeps saying. Shh.

It keeps saying we should

keep holding on. For what?

What the f***'s the point?

Keep it down. Just keep it down.

Okay.

I haven't been out there

in six months.

I have no idea what it's like.

We've been through this.

Every time I walk out the door I

don't know if I'm coming back.

I could go with you.

And do what?

Help.

I could bring back more food.

What, do you think,

I'm hiding something from you?

I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?

I haven't been out there.

I'm doing this for you.

Doing this for us.

Every mark on that fridge

is one of them.

I'm going out

to the Canyon Market.

I hear these noises, right?

I'm coming down the aisles.

I'm backing away and this,

like, hissing, this growling...

I whip around

and it's this little girl,

she's coming at me

and she's fast.

I hit her in the face.

And then she's up

and it didn't even phase her.

She's clawing at me,

she's hissing at me,

she's drooling.

I grab her hair and I...

I just grab this penknife...

I just, I just

jabbed it in her chest.

Just wouldn't go in.

She was just still with the

black eyes and the hatred and...

We don't know how many

of them are out there.

All they want to do is kill you.

That's it.

That's all they want to do.

You can't go out there, Kim.

I can't let you go out there.

Hello, hello?

Hello?

Anyone out there? Hello?

Hello?

How was your day?

Good.

What did you get?

Batteries, good.

Four.

Batteries,

batteries, radio...

Dish soap,

did you get dish soap?

Oh, f***. No.

I totally forgot.

I'm sorry.

You didn't get dish soap?

I wrote a list.

I know we need it. I...

I didn't even see it.

I don't think they had any

where I was anyway.

We'll probably get

three days out of this.

Close your eyes.

Okay.

I got you...

the most beautiful...

dress.

You're going to love it.

Probably needs to be washed.

It's nice, right?

Mmm.

Thanks.

You look beautiful.

Mm.

Thank you.

How's your hand?

Mm, it's fine.

Cheers.

Cheers.

I thought you took care of her.

I thought I did, too.

Shh.

Teddy, go away,

honey. Go away.

Shh.

Go away, Teddy.

Shh.

What are you doing?

Smoking a cigarette.

They'll smell it.

Quality of life.

Okay? These freaks

aren't going to smell it.

Get up here.

Quality of life, my ass.

I'm so hungry.

I'm so hungry.

I'm hungry.

I'm so hungry.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Baby, maybe we're

just both crazy.

What if we're, like,

in The Truman Show?

There is...

There is no plague.

And...

there's cameras

everywhere.

And they're

just watching us.

Everything we do?

Everything.

Ed Harris is the voice of God.

Ed Harris

is the voice of God.

Hold on.

Sitting on a park bench.

Hello.

Hello?

Hey. Jesus!

Do you trust me?

Trust me?

Do you trust me?

Do you trust me?

Mm-hmm.

Say it.

I do. I do.

I keep having to

go further and further.

Just not a lot

of food out there.

What do you think? Hmm?

You always get this wrong.

It goes like this.

What would I do without you?

Ah.

I got it wrong.

Mm.

Nice and pink.

It's almost like champagne.

It's a ros.

Ros.

Mmm.

Ages well.

That it does.

I think we should

start hunting again.

No way.

I'm not eating coyote.

Any animal meat could be infected.

It was three months ago.

No. No way.

That was one random event.

It doesn't matter.

It still could be contaminated.

Look at what happened last time.

If I kill it and it doesn't

come back to life,

that's good enough for me.

I was in here.

And then...

What if he took them

and he's...

not coming back?

He didn't know about the toys.

No, I kept very good

care of them.

Hello?

Hello?

- Hello?

- Hello? Hello?

- Can you hear me?

- Hello! Yes!

- Can you hear me?
