How It Ends Page #5

---

in the morning,

and we see the boat, it had sunkto

the bottom of the f***ing lake, I mean...

I don't know, I just...

I thought it was the right thing to do,

you know

Say it was me.

Sam still doesn't know.

You're a good man.

You're gonna be a good father.

Yeah.

She's gonna be fine, Tom.

She's gonna be fine.

Maybe we can get some help here.

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

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

F***.

- Take it slow.

- Yeah.

We need to get past.

My friend is sick.He needs a doctor.

We have money.

Bring the car here.

We'll get you help.

All right, we're coming.

Just don't shoot.

What are you doing?

- Wait, we can't go over there.

- Yeah, no sh*t, Tom.

Ah, f***.

Grab the gun, Will.

Good job.

F***!

Good. You did good.

They're coming from both ways.

Turn around!

Give me the gun, Will.

When I say three,

I want you to swerve to your left.

One... two... three!

Oh, sh*t, Tom.

Tom.

Tom?

No, no, no. F***!

Come on!

Come on! No!

F***! F***! F***! F***!

F***! F***! F***, you f***ing...

F***!

F***! F***.

F***.

F***.

I'm sorry, Tom.

Hey, hey!

Where you going?

I'm going west, trying to get to Seattle.

We're going north.

We've been staying off the interstate.

It's not safe.

Yeah, I know.

All right, we'll take you

as far as we can.

- OK.

- I'm gonna need that.

I got family in the car.

OK.

OK.

Easy.

All right.

This message is being broadcast...

This message is being broadcast...

Nothing.

Do you have any idea what happened?

We still don't know.

Started in Los Angeles.

Or at least...

what it was.

They're saying go to Canada.

Something about the air.

- It's been three days now?

- No. Today's day five.

I'm guessing you haven't slept.

Yeah, you and me both.

You should take this exit.

Hello!

Come on.

Hello?

Dad?

You sure this is OK?

Yeah, yeah. It's my father's place.

There's bedrooms upstairs

if you want to rest.

And hopefullythere's some food

in the kitchen, take a look.

All right, thank you.

Yeah.

Well, they're asleep.

Look, I just want to say

we really appreciate this.

There's about three weeks of food here.

Generator last will you five days,

maybe more ifyou're conservative.

There's one car in the garage,

but I had to siphon off most of the gas.

But if you look around,

you're gonna find enough to get north.

But I need to leave right now.

And I need a four-wheel drive.

Which means I need to take your Jeep.

That's the deal that I'm offering.

Sure. Yeah.

Sh*t.

You're alive.

Hello?

- This is private property!

- Will!

- Will. Oh, my God!

- Sam!

Will

He's our neighbor, Will.

Put your guns down!

Will.

You're OK.

- You're OK.

- I'm OK.

We're OK, Will.

You're alive.

You're alive.

- I can't believe it.

- The baby's OK.

Oh, God. You're alive.

- Come here. Please, come here.

- I'm here.

Come here.

You know, I wouldn't have made it

without him.

I wouldn't be alive.

And I did everything I could.

I did everything.

I know, baby.

I know you did.

I'm never gonna leave you again.

I love you.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi.

You know, when I saw Seattle,

I didn't think that...

Just thank you.

What are neighbors for?

You... You want one?

Yeah, sure.

Thank you.

It all happened so fast.

Yeah, it was maybe...

ten, fifteen minutes

before the policewere just yelling

at everybody to evacuate.

I mean, you could see the Sound

and the water retreat.I've never seen

anything like that before.

We were a couple miles inland

by the time the waves hit.

You could hear it.

- It was horrible.

- Yeah.

And just so you know, Will...

I don't think this was an earthquake.

I'm a software engineer.

I've seen tons of war games simulations,

including this exact scenario.

Events just like this.

They're designed

to erase rational behaviorwith what

appears to be a singular incident.

But really...

it's all synchronized.

What the f*** you talking about?

Will...

- Look, I'm not trying to upset you.

- You're not upsetting me.

Good.

I know the last couple days

have been rough on you.

I mean, come on, you don't really believe

this bullshit, do you?

This is not...

I just drove across the f***ing country.

You can't create things that I've seen.

- Seriously, are you f***ing with me?

- No, I'm not f***ing with you.

Think about it in laymen's terms.

A nuclear bomb goes off the coast.

Then a virus takes down the grid before

anyone can figure out what happened.

- I've seen the intel.

- You haven't seen it. There is no intel.

- That is f***ing bullshit.

- The bomb plays like an earthquake.

That's what causes the waves.

Yeah?

But the power going out,

that created the chaos.

Don't you think it's strange that...

the power just went out everywhere?

The communications? I mean,

just f***ing think about it, man.

Unless, I don't know, I don't know.

Maybe he believes in coincidences.

Baby?

Baby, come on.

You need sleep.

I'm gonna clean up here.all right?

And we can talk about all this

in the morning, all right?

When you've had a good rest

and you're feeling better, OK?

Come on.

You know, there was an ash cloud

over the ocean.

Seattle is gone,

God knows how many other cities.

I don't know what the f*** is going on,

and you do not know what the f***

is going on either.

So, let's not pretend that you do, OK?

OK.

They happen all the time now.

Yeah.

Well, in the end,

it doesn't really matter, I guess.

Why?

We all have to live, right?

No matter what.

I'll drink to that.

Come on. Let's go.

Hey, can I...

Can I see that SIG of yours?

Sure.

It's nice.

Be nicer with bullets, though, right?

Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

I know he helped you,

but he just...

Tell me you don't believe

that bullshit that he's telling you?

I don't.

You and the baby...

are the only thing that matters.

The only thing.

- Hey.

- Hey.

You seeing this?

Still think it's a simulation?

No.

I owe you an apo...

I let the whiskey do the talking.

I guess I just convinced myself that

that would put me more in control, but...

It doesn't make me crazy, right?

Why were you looking in my car

this morning?

I wasn't trying to steal your car, Will,

if that's what you're after.

You planning on leaving?

By myself, no.

But we've got supplies here.

I saw two kids. I thought that maybe

they took something from your car.

Saw two kids. Right.

Where are these kids right now?

They're in the woods.

I've been running a perimeter

every morning since we got here.

Come with me, I'll show you.

Must be a volcano around here.

Don't worry about it.

We're leaving.

Unless you want to stay,

you should comewith us.

It's not safe here.

Where are you going?

North.

She wants to stay, Will.

I don't see any kids out here.

I'm not the boogie man, Will.

Remember, I saved her life.

We have a bond. That means I get a voice.

We thought you were dead.

Well, I'm not, am I?

I'm here.

You know she's pregnant, right?

You don't have to do this.
