- I'll try to come back for you.

Sorry, J.

Don't be an a**hole.

Can't just let her wait here alone.

Hey, do you mind, if maybe

I hang out for a while too?

Yeah. OK.

Me too? I need to pee again.

I can't sit in

here anymore.

I wanna meet your little brother,

maybe he has a Playstation.

I'd like to meet your father,

maybe he has a bar.

We always hide a key.

Sh*t.

F***, I don't remember,

if it's 102 or 201.

It's probably wiring in

the single circuit.

- Where's the breaker box?

- In the garage.

How you're doing?

They're here?

Mom?

Dad!

Billie!

Maybe they dropped off their stuff

and went to the neighbors, or something.

Maybe there was an evacuation,

like a mandatory evacuation..

- They would have taken their car?

- No, there's buses, right?

Where they evacuate places,

they bring in, like buses and...

F***!

Deb?

What is it?

OK, they must have, like had

an accident or something, right?

Maybe. Maybe they're

at the hospital?

I just hope its not a hospital

like we went to...

OK.

My dad would have been

driving, and...

That means my mom would

be in the passenger seat, so...

that's my mom's blood.

Yeah..

and Billie would be in the back,

so that means, Billie is probably OK.

- Debra.

- No, I'm sure Billie must be OK.

- Deb!

- What?

OK. Listen to me,

You gotta know that this might be bad.

I know. No, I do, I know OK.

Really, let's go inside, come on!

OK, but don't think

about your parents.

Don't think about

your little brother.

Wanna go in, I want you to

try to find something, OK?

- Something like an old dog.

- Yeah, OK, an old dog.

OK, What's her name?

- It's not a her, it's a him.

- A him. OK. You got a guy dog.

Yes, like Ken.

Like Ken and Barbie.

OK, like Ken, but not Ken.

What is his name?

What is his name?

Michael.

Like the Archangel.

OK, so we're gonna go in there,

and look for Michael.

OK.

OK.

I thought long and hard about

whether to leave this footage in the film.

I decided, in the end,

to show you exactly what happened.

No! Billie!

Out of the way.

Let me through!

Deb!

No!

Daddy?

Mommy?

Mommy.

I think its time

we left this place.

By now, we've become part of it,

part of 24/7.

It's strange how,

looking at things,

seeing things through a lens,

a glass.

Rose colored or

shaded black.

You become immune.

You're supposed to be affected,

but you're not.

I used to think it was just you out there,

the viewers, but it's not.

It's us as well.

The shooters.

We've become immune too, inoculated.

So whatever happens around us,

no matter how horrible it is,

we just wind up

taking it all in stride.

Just another day.

Just another death.

It's gonna be OK, babe.

Everything will be OK.

Hey, do you want

to swap places?

I could take the camera

for a while, and you could...

Leave him alone,

Tracey.

He's right where

he wants to be.

Hey, where did you

learn to use that thing?

Archery squad.

Targets of course,

that's all we do.

Life and death.

I had such

steady hands.

You still do.

Thank you.

Where's your home, professor?

Where was it?

Oxford..

That's where it was, such as it was.

Not really a home,

just a place.

I've never seen

or imagined a home

that I would want to own.

- Sorry

- Not at all.

I'm a...

wandering spirit.

Yeah, he wanders to wherever

there's a bottle of spirits.

Unless...

- Where're we going Eliot?

- We're going to the right place.

- We talked to Ridley.

- When?

- At the warehouse online.

- Is he OK?

Yeah, he really sounded great,

he invited us to come.

Philadelphia.

We can make it there before dawn.

Hey, hey, hey!

Look at this!

It's the guards.

It's the f***in' Guards!

Call me crazy, but those guys

don't look dead.

You see? Told you

they'd show up.

Hi there.

- It's so nice to see you guys.

- Good.

- What's with the camera?

- Just making a movie.

Is that so?

Where did you get all the stuff?

Friends.

You know, seems to be

a whole lot of folks

getting a whole lot of stuff

from a whole lot of friends.

Can we be friends?

You wanna turn that off, son?

Turn the f***er off!

Now!

Theres your f***in'

National Guard, Tony.

- They stole everything we got.

- Not everything, they left us our weapons..

- Yeah, they have their own...

- They're military men.

With the world

been what it is

they know we wouldn't

survive without weapons.

They're not murderers,

just thieves.

With the world being what it is.

I agree with that.

From now on...

Everyone who dies,

is gonna come back.

I mean, think about that.

Everyone who dies,

unless they get a bullet in the head,

is gonna come back,

and try to kill somebody else.

And on, and on, and on.

Forever.

Get your helmet

cams on.

See anyone alive,

pull them out.

(inaudible)

Hey, is anyone

in there?

Anybody home?

- Hey, hold it!

- Don't go in there!

- Hold it, hold it!

- Are you all right, mister?

- Take her with you.

- What are you hiding, old man?

No, please!

Nobody in here.

I don't see anything..

Son of a b*tch!

Over there, behind you!

You f***in' dick!

How'd you f***in' get

to be in here?!

Look what

happened!

- They were family!

- Kill them!

- They were family!

- Kill the prick!

No, don't shoot!

Don't shoot them

in the head.

Shoot them

in the heart.

Let them f***in'

wake up dead.

They used to be...

us against us.

Now, it's us

against them..

He was right,

us against them.

Except they

are us.

We're here!

Here is it!

Wake up, Guys!

Come on, wake up!

Oh man, it's huge!

Looks like what god

might have built.

Only if he

had the money.

Ridley made this place

so much like a fortress.

I've never been to a fortress before,

but don't they usually keep the doors locked?

- I told you, he said everything was cool.

- Well, that was yesterday.

Plenty of security.

There got to be monitors

around here, somewhere.

Monitors don't do us any good,

while somebody's watching.

Somebody might be watching us.

Right now.

OK, lets go in.

No, wait, wait, go back.

Step back.

I wanna cover everything.

OK, ready, come in.

I can't do this anymore.

Every time we walk in somewhere,

somebody dies.

Or somebody already died.

It's gonna be the same

wherever we go.

Shut the door.

Ridley?

Ridley!

Francine?

Hello!

Hey Max!

Ridley?

This is where the party was.

Good lord!

Treasures.

Absolute treasures.

"A Tale of Two Cities. "

First edition.

You have any ideas

how much this is worth?

It was the best of times,

it was the worst of times.

Ridley! You scared us

half to dead!

You came! This is great, this is so

f***in' great to have all you guys here!

- Wheres Francine?

- Where are your parents?

Why was the front

door open?

Oh, what that?

I was outside, just came back in.

Must not have shut it behind me.

Stupid. You know me,

I'm stupid.

What's in there?

Panic room.

Wow, what's going on,

why were you in there?

Just checking the generator,

that's all, everything's fine.

Even better now,
