How It Ends Page #3

---

actually what happened,

down to the very last detail, but...

if I were you,

I'm not sure I would believe that either.

But I can tell you this.

With a clear conscience,

I can look you in the eye and I can say...

there's a lot to be afraid of out there.

A lot of real danger.

None of us know how much.

But...

me...

him...

we're not it.

I'm Tom.

This is Will.

We're just driving out west

to see if we can find my daughter.

All right.

I've heard enough.

So, you'll help us?

Did I say that?

I'm going to the car.

I'll do it for two thousand.

OK. Great.

Got the essentials.

As long as we don't snap an axle,

I can get us to Seattle.

Great.

Oh, and I siphoned the cop's gas.

- What are you doing?

- I want us to be invisible from behind.

- Here you go, Will. Drive the first shift.

- OK.

You ride in the back.

Course Tonto rides in the f***ing back.

Chill. Whoa, I was kidding.

What's he doing?

Better not f***ing come back.

Take it easy, man!

Just drive.

So, you guys got a radio signal?

Not here.

Is there a frontage road to the 90?

Another way west?

Take a left here.

Can head out on the 14 West for a while.

All right. OK.

What kinda music you guys into?

Yeah, I don't think

it's that kind of road trip, Ricki.

There's someone behind us.

Pull over.

Lights off.

Catch up.

- Use their taillights to guide us.

- OK.

Want some?

No. No, thanks.

Think he's asleep.

Yeah, let him.He's gonna want to drive

when he wakes up.

Then I'll get some sleep.

So, his daughter... that's your girl?

Yeah.

Yeah, she is.

Whoa.

Check it out.

It's crazy.

- They on our side of the road?

- Jesus!

Oh, my God!

F***.

Survivors?

No.

F***, Jesus Christ.

She's dead.

What's he saying?

- I think it's a telephone number.

- Will, let him be.

We can't just leave him!

We're hours from a hospital,

and this guy, he's not gonna make it.

Let's get back in the car.

Let's go, guys. Let's go. Let's go.

Will?

Let's go. Ricki!

Leave them. Ricki, come on!

Sh*t. Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t.

What's he doing?

F***!

Let's go.

You gotta stop the car for Ricki.

Stop the car, Tom. Stop the f***ing car!

Let's go! Come on!

Go, go!

If Will hadn't told me to wait,

I would've left you.

Whatever.

See if I fix your car

if it breaks down again.

What the f***?

We had a deal.If you're not gonna

honor it, you need to speak up now.

All right, then.

You OK?

Whatever.

Yeah, he can be pretty hard.

Think that's hard?

You don't know what hard is, man.

Yeah, maybe not.

So, why California, huh?

I'm gonna become a rapper.

Come on, seriously?

What? You don't think that I got it?

No, no.

No, of course I do. I just, you know,

I thought it was a pretty odd careerpath.

Totally f***ing with you.

Nice.

You ever seen clouds like that before?

Hell, no.

Something's coming.

- Go, go! Get in the car!

- Get in!

What the f*** is this?

Holy sh*t.

You see the bridge? Do you see it?

What the f*** is going on?

- Never seen a storm like this.

- This is crazy.

Think that was lightning?

- Turn it up.

- OK.

...as much information as we can,

for as long as we can.

For as long as this generator will let us.

Still no internet. No cell service.

No nothing.

At least not here.

You're gonna want to stay on the 17.

I have friends in Ashland Heights.

I already checked.

We can stop there. We can resupply.

We can resupply anywhere.

We don't wanna go out of our way.

Look, why don't we just stop, OK?

Ricki can check the car

and my friends can help us.

- You just drive. I got the plans.

- I said they're friends, Tom.

They're not just my friends,

they're Sam's friends.

They're gonna wanna help us.

Whoa, whoa.

Hey.

Something's wrong with the car.

No services here. No gas, no nothing.

We've been on the road for a long time.

A good friend of mine lives in the town.

Every car that stops here says

they got friendsin this little town.

His name's Adam Dumont.

He was born and raised here.

I was a groomsman at his wedding.

My girlfriend and I have been here,

like, half a dozen times.

His wife, Meg,

she owns a pottery store in town.

I can't remember what thename of it is.

We just wanna get off the roadfor

a couple of hours and then we'll be gone.

- Harris!

- Yes, sir?

Find an escort for these boys

over to the Dumonts'.

And make sure, they get turned away,

they come straight back here.

OK, let them through.

- Good job.

- Let them through.

Just let them through.

Is it North Korea? Is it the Chinese?

Who else could do this?

Who else would do this?

Damn it. Maybe they're in it together.

We don't know.

We do know they hate us.

Will?

What are you doing here?

How did you even get here?

Hey.

This is Tom, Sam's dad.

And Ricki in the back.

Hey. We should all go inside.

- It's a lot cooler.

- Yeah.

I'm gonna take a couple of minutes

to check out the car and get organized.

- Where's... Where's Sam?

- I'll explain inside.

The world is being prepared!

The Bible says, "The earth knew not

until the flood came and took them...

When was last time you heard from Adam?

It must've been...

I guess the night before it all, so...

He's... He's on a business trip

to San Francisco.

Well, if anyone's gonna be OK, it's Adam.

I mean, none of this makes any sense.

It's just that...

These f***ing storms and then this heat.

And we've been having earthquakes.

It's just... I mean, it's so crazy

that you're here and...

- It's gonna be OK, Meg.

- Yeah.

You know it...

it can'tstay like this forever.

Really? Do you really think that?

- Sorry. Ihaven't been sleeping and it...

- No, it's fine, It's OK.

Do you want to take a shower?

We still have plenty of water.

Yeah. That'd be good.

All right.

Hey.

Hey.

- Need help?

- Nah, I just got one more left.

Thanks.

How do we not know anything?

Doesn't that tell you something, Will?

If they were all right, we would know.

I just...

None of this is real. It can't be real.

No one's telling me anything and...

and no one even knowsthat I'm here.

Adam knows you're here.

And he'scoming back for you.I know that.

And what if he isn't?

Because...

Because I can feel it, Will.

I can feel that he's gone.

- I can feel it in my bones. I know it.

- No, no, no. Just...

And I know that Sam is gone, Will.

She's gone!

It's OK. It's OK.

It's OK.

We're gonna be fine.

We are gonna be fine. OK?

Adam is coming back for you.

I gotta go.

Give me a hand?

We need to load the supplies in the car.

Look at that. That's military.

- Was it shot down?

- I don't know.

Jesus.

Let's see if there's anything useful

down there.

Oh, hell, yeah.

Oh, yeah.

Ricki, maybe you shouldn't...

Holy sh*t! Holy f***! It's hot in there!

I thought it was gonna be cold.

F***!

- It's not funny.

- It kinda is a little bit funny.

F***ing a**holes.

OK. We'regonna need to split up.

OK, Ricki...

Yeah. The Army base's.

Minutemen, missile silos.

It's a Blackhawk.

You know about helicopters?

Not really.Just the irony.
