Island Zero Page #7

It's all here in the report.

Their plans for the island.

- Isolate. Quarantine.

- And eliminate.

I thought they wanted

these creatures alive?

Why would they kill them?

This isn't about the

creatures. It's about us.

What they have planned for us.

That's why they cut

off the island.

The ferry, the phones.

We're the only ones left

who know what happened.

Their gonna wait

until we're dead.

The world would find out.

There'd be questions.

And they'd have the answers.

A way to explain how

we all died.

A fire in the village, or

Sam here went berserk

and slaughtered us all.

If no one's coming

to rescue us then...

what are we gonna do?

[intense music]

What was it like in the army?

Hot.

I don't like hot.

Did you ever shoot anyone?

Why are you asking? You

think it's fun shooting people?

I just wondered. I've

never even held a gun.

Lucy's scared of them, and my

dad says he won't shoot anything

'cause he's a biologist.

A gun is a tool, Ellie,

that's all.

Like a chainsaw, someone

could get hurt if your careless.

I'm not careless.

Would you really have shot

Titus in the you know where?

I guess we'll never know,

will we?

Shouldn't you be sleeping?

You aren't.

Someone has to stay alert.

Can I lie down next to you?

What do they want?

The creatures.

Probably what everybody

wants, to stay alive,

and breathe, to eat.

Have kids.

How come you

don't have any kids?

That's a personal question.

I'm sorry. I just think

you'd be a cool mom.

I was.

[loud clang]

Anything happening?

Not a sound.

I know they're out

there somewhere.

I don't know what

they're waiting on.

Not hungry enough, yet.

Maybe we scared them.

You did kill a few.

Sam, there's only

seven bullets left.

- It's not enough.

- I know.

I wasn't there when

she was born.

Rachel went into labor

three weeks early.

I was at a conference in Oregon.

I missed-

watching her come

into the world.

And now-now I'm gonna

have to watch her-

I'm not gonna

let it happen.

Not to you.

[monster growls]

I hate this waiting around.

Letting them choose the moment.

There's nothing else

we can do.

I read the

Island Zero report.

They can only be out of

the water for an hour at a time.

And they hunt at night.

If they do attack, it will be

in the next five hours.

[monster growls]

I've got every window

boarded up.

But even if we hold them

off tonight, what about

tomorrow night?

And the night after?

In a week we'll be out

of food and water.

Maybe it's the soldier in me,

but starving to death is not

how I wanna go down.

Are you suggesting

we attack them?

We know they're attracted

to light and to noise.

That's how they

locate their prey.

They don't need to find us,

they know where we are.

So let's roll out

the welcome mat.

[monster growls]

[distant Christmas music]

[monster growls]

What are you waiting for?

What if this is the only

population on earth, I'd be

killing the last of

their species.

Good!

[Christmas music continues]

[deep exhale]

[fire crackles]

[monster growls]

[helicopter hovering]

We can't stay here.

We need to leave.

Maybe they're coming

to rescue us.

What if you're wrong?

[building collapses]

Go, now!

Sam!

Shouldn't we at least

wait to see if-

[gasp]

[monster growls]

[ripping sound]

[gasp]

[Lucy screams]

Lucy!

[gun shots]

No! No! No!

Lucy! No!

Oh, my go-

Oh, my God!

- Sam, we need to leave now!

- No. No!

- Sam, we have to leave!

- Please don't leave me!

- Please! No!

- They're coming!

[building collapses]

Sam!

- Sam!

- Don't leave me!

No! No!

[soft talking]

[Sam cries]

Here! Here!

We're here!

Where's my dad?

Where's Lucy?

[ominous music]

[Sam cries]

[distant gun shots]

Dad? Dad?

- Quiet. We have to be quiet.

- No! We can't leave him!

Go back! We have to go back!

No, I'm in charge, soldier!

My job is to keep you alive,

and I am going to do that,

you got that?

That is what I

am going to do!

And it's what I'm

going to do.

[Ellie cries]

[ominous music]

We're far enough away, now.

Can't you turn on the engine?

No engine, no noise.

There might be more of them.

We have to be silent.

It's forty miles

to the mainland.

You're gonna row the whole way?

I can do it.

I can do it.

[whispers] I can do it.

[ominous music]
