[Millie] Jesus.

He's gonna lose all his blood.

[Jessie] F***!

The ambulance crews are requiring police

escorts to the area. We'll wait...

How long is it gonna take?

There's victims

all over the place.

- We know.

- My friend is dying.

Do you understand? He's just a

boy and he's dying out here.

Please. You have to help us.

I don't know what to tell you. I'm not

getting anything from the police right now.

Kids?

[ominous music playing]

I finished my home work.

But if you want me

to put the Barbies away...

Where should we take him?

Where the f*** are we?

Where are the street signs? They took

away all the f***ing street signs.

Can't see anything.
