for transmissions,

so we could keep them

out of a room,

but we couldn't keep them out.

I mean, they were coming through

so fast,

it was like a blur.

The last thing you want,

the last thing you ever want

is for them to get to you.

'Cause when they grab ahold,

they take your will to live.

Everything that made you

you is gone.

You don't want to talk,

you don't want to move.

You're a shell.

And then come the bruises.

They spread all over.

Your body dies

right out from under you,

and the next thing you know,

you're just a pile of ash!

I saw it happen to Tillman.

I saw it happen to Plummer.

What are they?

I wish I knew.

I just watched

my best friends die, Zeigler.

That's not the answer

I came here for.

Well, what do you want me

to say?

They've already crawled in

the entire regional network.

Everywhere...

cellphones, Pads...

We can't stop them.

We have to crash

the entire system.

How are we supposed

to crash the system?

This is what Josh

was working on.

A virus configured

to the specs of your system.

Where's your server?

In a highly non-optimum place.

Where is it?!

It's in the basement,

in the computer lab!

It doesn't matter,

because even if you upload it,

it still doesn't mean

that it's going to work!

No-no-no-no-no-

no-no-no-no!

No!

Run!

Go!

Come on!

Dexter!

Go!

Mattie.

Josh?

Josh?

I'm sorry, Mattie.

No, don't look!

Just run!

Mattie! Mattie!

Come back to me.

I saw it, Dex.

I saw...

Okay. Stay right here.

I'll be right back.

I'll be right back.

No!

- I have to.

- It's too late.

There's nothing we can do.

I can still

shut the system down.

Don't you get it?

There's no system to shut down.

They are the system.

I have to go.

No... no...

It worked.

Let's get the hell

out of here! Come on!

Come on! Run!

Geez!

Hey!

How much gas do we have left?

Half a tank.

How far is that gonna get us?

We're gonna find out.

This is an emergency message

from the United States Army.

Search and rescue units

have been dispatched to assist

survivors of the crisis.

We have established safe zones

in locations without wireless

or cellphone coverage.

Cellphones, computers

and Pads are all conduits

for the invasion.

Dispose of all technology before

proceeding to these locations.

Hold on, Mattie!

You all right?

Yeah. What happened?

I don't know.

We must've hit a dead zone.

They can't exist

without a signal.

We can never go back.

The cities are theirs.

Our lives are different now.

What was meant to connect us

to one another

instead connected us to forces

that we could've

never imagined.

The world we knew is gone.

But the will to live

never dies.

Not for us...

and not for them.
