Quantum Apocalypse Page #5

---

to Houston for the reunion.

It's gonna take more than 6.

Haven't seen weapons in a while.

Traded it for a wedding gown.

Don't forget to take those.

You're gonna save the world,

that's bad for your blood pressure.

- I love you.

- I love you too. See you later.

- You watch your back, you hear?

- I will. Good luck, Dad.

- I'm not gonna wake Sam.

- You better.

Come on. Let's go.

You have 10 minutes. The Secret

Service wants to move you...

to a more secure location.

No matter how powerless we are,

we gotta give people some hope.

Well leave after we get

that message out, all right?

All right, sir.

- Give me one minute.

- Sure.

Margaret.

There are many apologies and

thank yous that I owe you.

I know. I'll wait.

This is one more of those things

that we look back on.

A test of our strength that

you and me overcome.

Don't waste all that talk on me.

The world needs to hear it now.

- That's why I took this job.

- It's easy to forget sometimes.

Thank you, Margaret.

Let's go get them.

- They're gonna make it.

- I know.

Get ready, Mr. President.

And five, and four...

Ladies and gentlemen,

my fellow Americans...

and anyone who can hear me.

This is an international crisis.

A global crisis.

One that no one expected.

It appears impossible to stop.

There's no plan to prevent...

this impending disaster.

We've been caught off guard...

powerless to the whims

of nature.

My words can only offer

inspiration to carry on...

if and when this has passed.

To rebuild.

To aid each other.

To treat every stranger as a

member of our own family.

This event has shown us that

the divisions that separate us...

be they race, religion or

status are insignificant.

We will all need each other

if our species is to survive.

Thank you. Good night.

And God bless us all.

Cut. Very nice, Mr. President.

- That thing is causing all this?

- Yeah. This is bad.

I'm glad you get it because

I sure don't.

- Is it getting much worse?

- I don't know.

It's not good.

It breached the 1st safety zone.

We'll feel the effects in 10 hours.

Come on.

Where are you going?

Terry, what are you doing?

Electromagnetic impulse created.

It destroyed everything electronic.

I can fix it.

Looks like were walking.

- You need to take your pills.

- I don't think it's time yet.

- It is.

- What am I thinking?

Glad to see you are okay.

Where's Ben?

Houston. Randy's in charge

till he gets back.

- Houston?

- Yeah. Long story.

Sit down baby.

What's the situation?

A lot of people lost their homes.

We don't have radios.

Deputies are on foot patrol

to see what they can do.

- Anyone on the North Side?

- No. We worked our way up south.

- Have you seen my parents?

- No, Lindsey. I haven't.

- It's gonna be okay.

- We have to find them, Leo.

- My brother must be so scared.

- I'll check out the North Side.

- I think you should stay here.

- To pass out crackers and waters?

We can help people.

At least try to find her family.

Emergency situation. Take it.

You know how to use it.

All right.

I was 10 years in law enforcement.

Don't go being a cowboy.

- All right.

- Just have it in your hand.

- I'll be right back.

- I know.

Come on.

- What's that line by the river?

- Bridge.

- Thanks.

- Bridge is out.

- What?

- No cars for the last 87 miles.

- The bridge is out.

- Damn it.

- It's okay.

- I know gravity's screwed up but...

what's your plan? To carry the

truck on our backs and swim?

- It's okay.

- Stop saying it's okay.

- Why are you yelling?

- Cause you're frustrating.

You're a genius but

you can't communicate.

Once there, you can't just

tell people it's okay.

People have to understand you.

I understand. If I explain it's

just a waste of time. It's okay.

You hear that?

Hold on for a second.

Somebody's in trouble.

Stay in the car.

- I'm gonna see if anybody's hurt.

- Okay.

- Are you all right?

- My car died. Can you jump it?

What are you guys doing?

Sean?

- Hands down. He's no cop.

- What are you doing here?

Baby, the world's over.

Why not party?

Get the hell out of here.

This is McGuire's house.

I don't care. Okay?

It's my house now.

Get the hell outta here.

All of you, get out.

- Turn up the heat, huh?

- Forget it, Sean, let's go.

I love it. I love it.

You forget about it.

You forget about it.

- This is outta control. Let's go.

- Shut up!

All the electronics are out.

We can give you a ride to Houston.

- But your car works.

- I can't explain. It's funny.

Sorry, man.

We ain't going to Houston.

Don't do this, man.

You don't know what's going on.

You don't understand.

We need your car.

- You wanna steal my girlfriend.

- Don't point that at her.

Think you're gonna

pull a gun on me?

- Calm down. I don't want...

- You think I'm afraid to die?

I don't wanna shoot anybody.

Put your gun down and go.

You couldn't just leave her alone?

Please... Please...

- Put the gun down.

- Shut up!

It's your move. Play your hand.

But I'm not leaving.

Just put the gun down on 3.

- Put the gun down on 3.

- All right.

- All right.

- All right... One...

two...

three.

- Leo!

- What are you doing, man?

Man, we all die tomorrow.

You're crazy, man.

I'm outta here.

He can die today.

We need your car.

Terry, get back in the truck.

Jesus, Terry.

Please, take me with you.

It wasn't my idea.

It's OK. They have doctors there.

No! No! No!

- Go get help.

- What help?

You a**hole, go get help.

- I hate you.

- Shut up!

- I hate you.

- I'm taking good care of her.

Please! Leo. Leo!

- Hastings. Is Leo back?

- I haven't seen him.

- How long has he been gone?

- At least an hour.

I'm gonna go find him.

- Damn it.

- What is it?

The computer crashed.

Fix it, please, please.

- Something's gone wrong.

- Yeah.

Terry, I don't feel good.

- I'm having another heart attack.

- Hang on.

Leo! Leo!

- I have to go inside.

- This area's closed to civilians.

- What happened to him?

- He got hit.

- He needs his pills.

- I don't think I can help you.

I have to go inside. He needs

my help. Reflex1987.

- What did you just say?

- Reflex1987.

He needs my help.

I have to go inside.

- What's that?

- Dr. Rhodes verbal pass code.

You must know someone.

Let him in. I'll check it out.

Stop! Stop!

- Take him to medical.

- He's stage hypertensive.

He suffered a mild heart attack.

- This isn't working.

- Try again.

This man wants to speak to you.

He knew your password.

- Reflex1987.

- I'm sorry, do I know you?

Terry Marshall. I email you 3 times

a week. Monday. Wednesday...

Friday. I have it

on this computer. It's safe.

Hi, Terry. Can I talk to you, Ross?

He's an autistic physics buff.

He wants to get a job here.

- He shouldn't be here right now.

- Yes, sir.

- Uh, Terry.

- Yeah?

- It's not a good time to talk.

- Okay.

- All right. Goodbye, Terry.

- Let's go.

People have to understand you.

Nobody knows what you're thinking.

Reflex1987, you're doing it wrong.
