How I Live Now Page #4

- This is an order.

- I'm a U.S. Citizen.

We're not going anywhere,

and I wanna speak

to the American embassy

right now!

- Reynolds! Atherty!

- Sarge?

Get them in the van.

Wherever they take you,

find a way to get back here.

Promise me.

Son, out of the way.

- Girls, in the van.

- You can't split us up.

- Eddie... Eddie, don't.

- Move out of the way.

- Stay away from us.

- I'm not gonna tell you again.

- Girls, you're coming with me.

- No!

- Get off me!

- Calm down.

- Just keep still.

- Get off!

Calm down.

- Eddie! Eddie!

- Come on, miss.

- Eddie!

- Daisy! Let her go!

- Restrain her. Get her in.

- Get off of me!

- No!

- Get off!

- Piper!

- Eddie, stop it!

- Eddie!

- You need to f***ing calm down!

Remember

what I said, Daisy!

- Get off her!

- Just sit down.

Just sit down, sit down.

Calm down.

I won't tell you again.

Sit down.

Daisy!

Remember what I said!

Move it!

You two, out.

Come in.

I'm Mrs. McEvoy,

and this is my home.

So please, make sure

you treat it with respect.

There we are.

This way, please.

Toilet's through there.

Bucket's by the toilet.

Water tablets are

on ration since yesterday,

so you'll have to wait

till Friday to have a wash.

Here we are.

Only one rule in here.

Don't touch any

of N ick's stuff, okay?

He will come home.

- So.

- Water tablets?

My dear child,

where have you been?

The terrorists contaminated

the water supply.

We have to clean it

before we go near it.

We've been drinking water

at home, and swimming.

Well, you should

consider yourself lucky.

I'll give you a call

when supper's ready.

The major will be home soon.

How... how...

- Mommy.

- What?

How...

How will mommy find us?

Hey.

Come on, don't worry

about that now.

I want my mommy.

I know.

Don't cry.

I'm here and...

and your mom's okay.

She's just been held up.

Come here.

We're going to get home, okay?

I promise.

But we need to be strong.

How was

the farm today, dear?

People seem to be

getting the hang of it.

It's hard work,

but someone's got to do it.

People do what they have to

when times are tough.

Don't we, girls? Eh?

...terrorist units control

some portions of the country.

Remain calm.

Do not leave your homes

unless absolutely necessary.

Do not leave secure zones.

This is the wartime

radio service.

And now here is the official

6:
00 news bulletin.

Violent outbreaks have been

reported across the region,

as guerrilla groups

battle for territory

beyond the government-allocated

secure zones.

Civilians are reminded

that traveling outside

the secure zones

is currently

restricted until further...

Is that two or three of them?

We've got another group

to pick up.

Mind your step.

Mind your head.

I can't even

feel my fingers.

d Take me d

d Take me home d

d Home d

d Oh, take me

d Take me d

d Home d

d 'Cause I don't

stand a chance... d

d In these four walls d

d And he don't recognize me

d Take me d

d Home... d

- Open her up.

- d Home... d

All right, ladies.

- Yeah, let it go.

- Clear!

d My heart in my throat...

That's right, Lucy,

put your back into it.

- That's what we like to see.

d But I think he knows d

d That I've hardly slept

d Since the night he left

d His body always kept d

d Mine inside of it d

d Keep the nightmares out d

d Give me mouth to mouth d

d I can't live without you

d Take me to your house

d Take me d

d Take me home... d

She's here!

No one ever comes here

and doesn't go swimming!

She used to love it here.

I'm home.

Wait for me.

I've got everything together.

We're ready to go.

And guess what?

I had a dream about Eddie.

- Eddie?

- And he's home already.

I can feel it.

All right? Mind how you go.

Do you need a hand?

Ttention all workers.

If at any time you would

like to clean your hands,

please make your way

to Water Zone D.

For your own safety,

you are reminded

to follow hygiene procedure

at all times.

Joe?

Oh, Joe.

What are you doing here?

Working.

- Are you okay?

- Remember,

if you don't know the source...

What happened to your face?

Nothing.

Just a fight with some boys.

They took my dad away.

I'm staying in this weird house

with other kids.

Have you seen Eddie or Isaac?

No.

Be vigilant.

They... they said Gin...

Be suspicious.

Be responsible.

- Hey.

- What happened to Gin?

Come on, everyone!

Trucks are here!

- Load up now! Come on!

- Come on.

Come on, girls,

that's it.

Ttention all workers.

Attention. Be alert.

Come on, you two.

Go on, son.

You go with them today.

- Good man.

- Do not leave the secure area.

Last to go.

Joe, we're escaping, Joe.

Going home.

I've got everything ready.

Will you come with us?

There's no point.

It's all gone.

Everyone's dead.

- Want some?

- Put that away!

Checkpoint.

- Why have we stopped?

- I don't know.

Can you see

what's going on?

Is that a fire?

Get down, everybody!

Get down! Stay down!

They've taken

the checkpoint!

Hang on, hang on!

Come on!

Sh*t, we're stuck!

- We're stuck!

- Stay down, everyone.

Joe!

- Get down!

- F***ing c*cks!

- Did you hear that?

- Joe, get down!

- Joe, get down!

- Down!

- You killed my dog!

- Joe, please.

- Get down!

- We're gonna blow your brains...

Joe!

Quick! Oh my God!

Rock!

- Please.

- Killed my dog.

Look!

They're coming!

Quick!

Hey!

Try it now!

- Floor it!

- Come on!

They've taken the checkpoint.

We had to go all the way round

to the other side.

We need to leave here now.

We have to wait for N ick!

She told us not

to touch his stuff.

Her stupid son's gone to war,

and he's not coming back.

We have to go now.

It's dangerous here.

Look at me.

Look at me.

We're gonna get

through this, okay?

You just gotta take

that bad thing,

you take it,

you put it in a box,

you close the lid,

you look up and you focus

on your goal, okay?

Because that's what

you have to do now.

You have to look up

and focus on your goal!

Put your stuff on. Quick.

Don't be stupid, woman.

- It's not safe here.

- I will stay here

till my son comes back.

I'm going nowhere!

They're gonna

be here any minute.

You can't make me.

I am waiting here for my Nick.

Eddie?

Eddie, Eddie! Are you here?

Eddie, come back!

Eddie, are you here?

Eddie! Eddie!

My feet hurt, Daisy.

Can we stop for a bit?

No.

- Please!

- Not now.

We've got six or seven days'

walk ahead of us.

We need to be disciplined.

Come on. The boys are waiting.

Water tablets. Sh*t!

Stop drinking.

I forgot the f***ing

water tablets!

We need to save that.

I knew I'd f*** it up.

God damn it, Daisy.

What's the matter with you?

Come on, Piper.

We need to get out of the open.

Do you think

Eddie and Isaac are okay?

Yeah, of course they are.

Chocolates!

Piper, come on!

Piper!

Finish it.

We need to keep moving.

- Are you okay?
