A chemist, OK, or a

doctors practice?

No, uh-Uh, all those places

been looted long ago.

No, no, if we don't get

medicine now, he could die!

What about me? What

about me?

I could be driving around out

there for days! Days.

Looking for medicine.

You must've passed somewhere.

And maybe I do know somewhere.

Oh, it'd be dangerous though.

Please.

Please. Even if there is the

slightest chance.

I don't have to go anywhere.

You see? I don't.

I've got time. It's you

that's asking me for help,

Not the other way around.

I could just leave this place

whenever I like.

Would you like that?

No.

No.

- You do this one thing for me-

- No.

And I'll do whatever I

can to help you.

I need you to lie still.

No.

Just pretend like it's nothing.

Is it worth john dying over?

F***in-

F***in, f***in just-

Evie, can you give me

a hand please? We'll take

These things inside.

Will you be OK?

Go.

I couldn't stop

thinkin' about you.

- Charlie please.

- I mean it.

It's the reason I like it here.

Despite everything that's

happened.

I've never been happier in my

whole life.

Look I know that you're-That

you're a bit lonely, OK?

I understand what you're going

through. Your wife.

My wife? No. Don't

talk about her.

Stop it.

Everything alright in here?

Oh, yeah. Just a little

accident.

We need fuel regardless.

Whether we stay or not.

Now I saw a truck hiked

up on Gibson road. And if

That's loaded, I

could be back before-

We need him to survive.

If there's something you want to

say, just say it.

No, just forget it.

Whatever's going on

between you two, I don't care.

No, we need to leave,

OK? Let's just take our

Things and let's go.

You keep saying we need

to leave, but where are we

Gonna go? Have you ever

thought about that? Do you

Have any idea?

What's this?

That's not his family, john.

Who knows what happened to these

people.

It's none of our business.

He's been nothing but good

to us. Why are you-

What do you want me to do?

I need you to start

acting like what you do

Makes a difference.

What's happened?

It's not you in

the picture, Charlie.

- We were a happy family.

- That's not your family.

Let me show you something.

Come on.

She ran.

Look what happened to her.

I loved her, even though she

wasn't mine.

Maybe that's why I keep

her with me.

She'll be the one to tell me

How long they can live without

feeding.

Don't you see?

They're dying out.

Pretty soon, this is gonna come

to an end.

And everything will go back to

normal.

Just like it was before.

Isn't that what we all want?

To put this behind us?

I want you to leave.

What are you gonna do?

Shoot me?

Go!

Evie, you come with me.

John, john!

No, no!

After all I've done!

Hey!

I came here I made this place

safe for you!

To keep them out! I looked after

you!

I fed you, I gave you water. I

gave you everything.

I gave you

hope. And this is what I get?

This is the thanks I get?

Come on, john.

You wouldn't last five minutes

out here without me.

All that matters now, is

that we're surviving.

Everything else, isn't

important.

You were gonna kill yourself

Before I arrived,

weren't you, john?

No

Yeah, I know.

John, please, just do something!

Without me, you'd be a dead man.

No.

No. John, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no.

Get off of m-Get off!

Come here.

Come on.

John! John!

Stop him!

John!

Help me.

John!

Help me.

Turn around!

Where are they keys?

I don't have the keys.

I said where are

the f***ing keys?

You from the military?

What are you doing here?

Is there anyone else in there?

No.

I can just shoot you

and find them myself, OK?

They're in the trunk.

No, no no no. Don't

shoot, don't shoot, don't

Shoot. No! Don't shoot,

don't shoot.

I'll take you some-I'll take

you somewhere.

Where are you

gonna take me, huh?

Here.

It's an evacuation zone.

What are you doing

out here alone?

We got attacked and I

lost my group. But here.

It's an extraction zone.

We can go there together.

There's room for one more.

Please.

Evie!

Evie.

Evie, Evie!

Evie!

Evie. Evie

Evie. Evie. Evie.

Evie. Evie.

Wake up.

You have to listen to me, OK?

You listening? Alright.

I think I've found a way for

us to get out of here.

But we have to go, we have

to go now, alright?

Evie, Evie, Evie, Evie, Evie.

Wake up. Wake up. Wake up.

Listen to me. Try to stay

awake. You have to listen.

We have to go, OK?

There's a place where

we can be safe.

How do you know?

I just know. But you

have to trust me, OK?

You have to trust me one more

time. Please.

Hey. Jus-Just wait here.

Hello! Hello!

Where the f*** is everyone?

I'm corporal Davies. I have an

injured woman!

Hey, drink some water.

You OK?

We're nearly there.

Close.

Are you OK?

Please, stay

with me. Evie!

Wake up, wake up!

Don't fall asleep.

Sh*t.

Sh*t! No!

F***.

Come on, come on. Come on, come

on, come on. Come on!

Evie.

Come on.

I'm sorry baby, we have to go.

- Come on. Come on, come on.

No, we gotta keep moving.

Come here, come here.

Car's dead baby, we

gotta keep moving.

Alright, OK. You're OK.

Alright.

Come here.

Evie, get up! Get up.

Get up. Evie! Get up!

Evie, get up. Get up. Come on,

That's right.

We have to go.

Come on! We have to go!

Evie, we have to go now.

We have to go!

But, I can't.

There's too many. I

can't shoot them.

Evie, we have to go. We gotta

go.

Evie we have to go or all of

this will have been for nothing.

Get up.

Get up!

Why won't you listen to me?

Get up.

Evie,

I have to go.

No.

I can't stay. I can't stay.

Let go. Evie! I have to go!

I need you to protect me.

No, no, no, ah!
