- Should we pack everything?

I mean, how long

are we gonna be?

- I don't really know

how f***ing long but just

pack everything up and do

it as quickly as possible,

okay?

- Jason?

- Just pack everything,

right now.

- Okay.

- It's gonna be okay.

- Okay, okay.

- Berries.

Red berries.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

- The department

of health has been notified

by the federal emergency

management agency

that a viral infection has

severely infected the population.

Symptoms of the virus

include a small circular

red rash on the abdomen

or chest and is followed

by nausea, delirium and

aggressive outbursts

or unpredictable behavior.

If you or anyone you know are

exhibiting these symptoms,

immediately contact

emergency medical services.

Officials have been

advised that at this time

the viral infection poses an

immediate danger to the public.

As a precaution, resident

should stay indoors,

keep all windows, doors and

vents closed.

Turn off all air

conditioners, ration your...

- Stop, stop the car.

Jason stop the car.

Christ, Jason,

stop the f***ing car.

They have a child.

- So do we!

Okay?

So do we.

- Hi there, how are you?

Looks like it's going

to be a beautiful day.

Do you want to play?

I miss you, hope to see

you soon.

- One, two, three, four.

One, two, three, four.

One, two, three.

F***, f***!

F***.

- The most important thing

here is the saw-tooth leaf.

Turns red during the spring

time.

See that?

Okay.

How to make a deadfall trap,

you need a

support stick, a weight

stick, a bait stick.

Okay?

And you set them up, notches

matching, balance the...

Ann, are you listening?

This is important.

- Yes, I can't write as fast

as you can f***ing talk.

Okay.

- Don't curse in front of her.

- Fine.

- Red berries.

Red leaves.

It's a bad thing.

Especially during the spring.

You're jerking the trigger.

- And I hit it!

- That's 'cause it's not moving.

It's a rabbit gun, you need

to hit head or heart to kill

so I need you to control

your breathing and lightly...

- squeeze, not pull, I know.

We should save our bullets.

- Well, they're of no use if

you don't know how to shoot.

- How many do we have?

- Enough.

Do it again.

- We can't survive on

a handful of berries.

- I know.

- Hi there, how are you?

Looks like it's going

to be a beautiful day.

- Okay.

- Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

Hi there, how are you?

- Damn it!

F***!

Jason, what happened?

- No, don't touch me!

Just get everything in the car.

- What happened?

- Just get in the f***ing car!

Her fever break?

- No.

Jason, what happened?

- There were a few boxes

of food.

- But they were there.

- Yeah.

They were there.

- But you've avoided them

before.

Why did they attack this time?

I don't know.

I don't.

There was enough food to eat

there, there was enough bodies.

I thought they would've

moved on.

Everything was fine until

I cut myself breaking

into that house.

The blood started flowing

and screams grew

and they swarmed.

It was like they knew.

They knew I was bleeding.

They could sense it.

- What are they?

- I don't know.

But some part of them is human.

- Why is that?

- Because they can die.

- Come on, come on.

Come on.

Come on.

Please.

Please, please.

Chris.

- Is he infected?

- No.

- Show me.

- Your name?

- Olivia.

You'll help him?

I can do that.

- Press here.

He'll be okay.

Grab an arm.

You coming from the south?

You and your father...

- stepdad.

Well, sort of.

Chris and my mom were,

you know, together, but

they never married.

They planned it for September,

but...

- You can sleep in the car

if you want.

- No, it's fine.

I want to sleep near him.

We'll leave, when he's better,

I mean.

We'll leave you alone.

Why do you have two campsites?

- In case I lose one

or the other.

- Oh.

- Helps cover your scent,

throws them off.

You headed north?

- Yeah.

- You wanna hear it?

- That's what's up north?

- Mm-hmm.

- Do you know what

they're saying?

- No.

- So that's it.

- That's all there is.

- Chris?

- It's alright, Liv.

It's okay.

- She says you're heading north.

- Yeah, trying to at least.

We hear it's in check up there.

Who the f*** knows, right?

You have a pretty nice setup

here.

Most people would kill

for this stuff.

You gotta tent.

Food, from what I can tell.

Car.

You gotta full tank?

- No.

Just a place to hide

from the rain.

- Ugh.

Thank you.

For what you did,

for both of us.

Not a lot of people

would do that nowadays.

We'll be gone in the morning.

- Okay.

- Get up, kiddo, let's go.

Let's get in the tent.

- Come on, get in!

- So, how long you been

out here?

- Since it started.

- Hmm.

Why you all the way out here

in the middle of nowhere?

- My husband grew up

in these woods.

He lived in a town

a mile or two west.

He brought us out here.

It's where he felt safest.

- Is that who taught you

how to be woods woman-y?

- He taught me what he could.

- What?

- Come on, Liv.

We kept hearing things,

you know.

How Philly went down in

a day but some backwater,

berg like bethel didn't

get hit for a month.

So Suzanne, Liv's mom,

she said, "let's wait."

Let's just f***ing wait.

She even thought that the

red cross was handing out

the cure in bottles over

in trout run.

Turns out they were just

handing out hot chocolate

and cheese sandwiches.

And then Suzy got some sores

on her belly,

they just looked like

little circles.

You know?

Little flea bites.

And then they started

getting worse.

Started bleeding and giving

off some sort of white puss.

Two days later, she,

she attacked Liv.

She tried to rip her

apart with her bare hands.

So that's when I tied her

to the bed.

And all she did was scream.

We left her there

for a few days.

Just listening to her scream.

- You just left her?

Tied to the bed?

- In a way,

yeah.

I took a kitchen knife and,

shoved it in her ear.

And I kept on pushing

and pushing.

Until the screams stopped.

I like to think that

she forgave me, though.

That she heard me say I'm

sorry and believed it.

- Oh, my god, oh my god, no!

- Come on, you're going in!

Here we go!

Bath time.

What, I didn't even throw

you in.

- Oh my god.

- These waters aren't

even that cold.

- Oh man.

- See, it's nice.

- It looks awful.

- I don't trust you

behind me, get out of here.

- Well, I can push you.

God, are there even

any fish here?

- Law of the lake, Liv.

Where there are fishermen,

there are no fish.

- Yeah, but we're on a river.

- Rules still apply.

I went on this fishing

trip once with Matt Theil.

You remember Matt, Liv?

Guy was built like a f***ing

tank.

He could open bottles

of beer with his teeth.

Use to play call of duty 24/7.

Anyway, Matt rented a boat one

time, well, it wasn't really

a boat, it was more of a skiff.
