What if gets hungry?

Then he'll come to the gym like

everyone else and get something...

Do you have any other battery

devices or Cell phones?

We need to conserve everything

since we're not sure

how long this is will last...

What about you Freddie?

No. I don't have one.

Food distribution is going

to be from 7 am to 9am,

and then from 2pm to 4pm.

If anyone gets sick,

medicine is available 24 hours.

Marta, Claire told me to ask

you that if you're feeling up to it,

they could sure use your

help setting up the dispensary.

I'll try.

Daddy gave it to me.

Hang in there.

Go girl... My bag.

No.

Come to my apartment

and wait until it's over, come.

Less than a hundred miles.

How you doing?

I'm tired.

Pull over and let me drive.

I'm fine.

You just said that you were tired.

That's because I am tired.

That's why you should let me drive.

I'm fine.

You still haven't learned to let

anyone help you or get close to you.

Why is that?

Because every time

I do I end up regretting it.

I'm sorry I hurt you.

That's like the punch

line to a bad joke.

You left me for my best friend.

I didn't leave you for Don.

He was friends with both of us.

We broke up,

he was there for me.

That's just semantics.

I don't know what you're more hurt by?

Our failed marriage or

your failed friendship?

Why can't it be both.

Here you go.

Ah... thanks.

Is everyone ready to move?

Yeah. How about you?

Yeah...

Maybe not.

Are you bleeding?

You should have told me.

Alright come on, keep the pressure.

We'll fix you up and

get you out of here.

Here you go.

This is it?

Yes. That's breakfast for three.

This wouldn't feed even one person.

Mom, it's okay.

No, it's not okay!

It's Gloria.

That woman...

We didn't turn in all our food

so we can starve to death.

Gloria? Is everything alright?

We need more food than this.

Everybody is getting the same amount.

We're all in this together.

No we're not.

My family has suffered

more than anyone here.

We've lost more than anyone.

Mom, please don't.

We deserve more than anyone.

I know what you're doing.

You're trying to use Jose's death

to get special treatment.

You never loved him, we all know that.

So stop this before you embarrass

your daughter and your grandson.

You love this don't you?

Finally, you've got all the

power you've always wanted.

You think I want this job today?

Well I don't! But we've got a plan

and our only hope is to stick to it.

Mom!

I'm so sorry.

It's okay Marta, it's not your fault.

What is that?

Oh, sh..

What the hell is this?

Static electricity burst

We drove right into it.

Come on

It's not starting?

Plugs are fried.

How far to Hopper?

Twenty-five miles.

Alright then, let's start walking.

We're just going to leave it here?

You can push it if you want.

How are we doing on time?

We're tight.

There's a truck coming.

My God, he's going to hit those people!

Back up... taking this truck.

Wait, wait

Reggie!

Everyone, back off!

You heard her. Step away!

You okay?

Yeah, yeah I'm okay.

Sorry, but we're going to need

to commandeer this truck.

Just take it.

It's almost gotten me

killed three times today.

Take it.

I don't think you have

the balls to shoot me.

Trust me buddy, she does.

Look, I need to get to my family.

We're trying to save your family.

Step away.

Joan, Joan.

Hey. How you doing?

Not great.

Alright, we have to keep

moving and then we'll rest.

No, I think I'll stop here.

We have to keep moving.

I know. I mean just me.

You all go on.

No.

Joan, I'm done.

I got a busted rib,

a punctured lung,

and a broken leg.

All you're going to do by dragging me

along is endanger everyone else.

I'm not leaving you here.

Yes you are, and you know why?

Because you're you.

You've always done what it

takes to help the most people.

Leaving me behind is what it takes.

Alright, we'll begin to build you

some kind of shelter to protect you.

After I get everyone to the mountains,

I'll bring some man

and come back for you..

We both know I'll be dead

before you get back.

Then I'll come back and bury you.

Thank you,

thank you for years of grade A work,

um friendship.

Alan was a lucky man.

Go, these people need you.

Hey hey, truck coming.

Go get back up.

What the hell is this?

I don't know,

but we don't have time for this.

We need to pass through.

The town of Eden is closed.

Kid, do we look like tourists?

Let us through.

And I said the town's closed.

Go away...

What the hell.

That's the sound of our

planet starting her death rattle.

Are you going to let us through?

No way. I got orders.

Come on..

Listen son,

I'm Commander Don Wincroft

Never heard of it yet.

Imagine that.

Take it easy alright?

We have an emergency situation we

need to get to Hopper Air Force base,

we don't have time to

go around the town,

we need to pass through here.

I said I got my orders!

Don!

I'm sorry, please don't kill me.

Let me see. You're going to be okay.

Don't worry it's merely..

Just don't say it's only a flesh wound

I won't, but it is.

Is there a medical facility in town?

You're going to take us there

We don't have time.

You're no good to us

bleeding to death, let's go.

I've got a space.

Bring them over here.

What happened to them?

Burns. It's this weird lightning

that keeps blasting.

So far it's been away

from the center of town,

but if it gets closer...

I shot someone.

We need someone to

bandage this man up.

I'm sorry, but this town is closed.

Yeah, we keep hearing that.

You're going to turn

away a wounded man?

Somebody one of your kid's shot?

Eden is under emergency lockdown.

The man who is bleeding

all over your floor

is Commander Don Wincroft.

The astronaut?

Hey, feel that?

Things are going to get

a whole heck of a lot worse.

Shutting down your town is going to

make no difference what so ever.

You're Dr. Bakus. -Yes.

You're the genius

that caused this trouble.

Screw this. Are those the bandages.

Hey! Hey stop right there!

These the bandages?

Brad, don't!

You want to shoot me

over a couple of bandages,

you go right ahead.

Hey!

Nice.

Seriously lady, your town sucks.

Still have that left hook huh?

Does that hurt?

Yeah. -Good.

I seen you on television.

From the spaceport.

I'm Marta Hernandez.

Jose Hernandez?

Yeah, my husband Jose

was on the Clipper.

I'm sorry.

Can you guys stop what's happening?

I mean, can you save us?

I don't know. We're going to try.

Are you an astronaut?

Yes I am.

My daddy was an astronaut.

I know he was.

Your dad was one of

the bravest men I ever met.

You know what you people are

doing here shutting this town up.

If we can't stop

what's happening out there,

nothing you do down here

is going to save anything.

We had a disaster plan

and we'll sticking to it.

There's no plan for what

we're up against now...

Commander, we're ready.

Gotta go. Wish us luck. Thank you.

Tear down the barricades.

There a lot of people out

there that need our help.
