Synopsis: Liam wakes from a car crash with no memory of who he is. As he makes his way into town to look for help, he finds only dead bodies, all with strange pale eyes. Liam's first assessment is that a virus is present in the air, but he soon discovers the horrible truth: anyone who comes within a 50-foot radius of him dies instantly.

by the house

and pick up some stuff.

That would be great.

Thank you.

Authorities speculate

that Hartwell and daerwood

may be taking refuge somewhere

in the tri-county area.

Where's Sam?

What's the matter?

That night at the bridge,

you and me,

we, we didn't know

each other, not before that.

You don't understand.

You saved my life.

Jane? Jane, get up.

Hey. You're back.

- Yeah.

Brought you some things.

Oh, my god.

Thank you so much.

I brought

some sleeping bags.

They're by the door.

Rose, who the hell

is this guy?

I mean, who is he, really?

How long have you known him?

How did you two even meet?

It's complicated.

F***! Christ!

Rose, what the hell

has happened to you?

Why can't you talk to me?

I don't know you, Sam.

I'm sorry.

Don't make this any more

sensationalistic than it is.

No, no, no,

why don't you just admit

that this Hartwell guy

is a terrorist?

I mean, these are

your words here.

most likely caused by a rapid

randomization of the current

So basically, this guy's got a

weapon that fries people's brains...

I have a place up north.

No neighbors, no cars,

none of that.

I like to go up there

once in a while

and clear my head.

Think.

Sometimes I get out

on the water.

We can just let go.

Sounds nice.

Is he using a gun,

is it a bomb,

- We don't know that yet.

- Well, that is so typical.

Look, we've got people working

on this very question as we speak.

Do you have any maps

around here?

Up front.

What are you looking for?

I'm not sure.

What's that?

It doesn't concern you.

By the way,

stop calling her Jane.

There's nobody around.

I mean, it's the perfect place.

We'll be safe there.

You can't be

sure of that.

What, because you saw it

in a goddamn dream?

Look, we need to get as far

away from people as we can.

The shop is closed.

No one's gonna come around.

How long is that

gonna work?

before some cop comes

around here looking for her?

Because they're

looking for her

just as much

as they're looking for me.

It's too risky

staying here.

All right, I'll drive you

up there tonight.

We'll hold up for a few days

and after that...

- No.

- What?

We go alone.

Are you f***ing

kidding me?

Who the hell

do you think you are?

- No.

- Sam.

- No!

- We need you here.

We need you to be

the voice of reason here,

the link between

us and them.

This is bullshit.

if you disappear with us right

in the middle of all this?

I can't believe this.

Sh*t.

Let him go. He needs

to blow off some steam.

I didn't get a chance

to finish it.

No, that's great.

I'm sure it's gonna help.

It says here

I don't like pizza.

You don't.

How can I not like pizza?

Everybody likes pizza.

You don't like the texture.

You say it's chewy.

All right. I guess I'm just gonna

have to take your word for it.

- You have to go, now.

- What?

Just get your things.

You're just gonna have to

trust me. We have to go now.

- Why?

- Please.

You called the cops. F***!

I told them

you needed help.

Oh, my god!

I said not

to separate you.

We've got to get

out of here, now!

Rose, I explained everything.

It's not gonna matter.

Where's your car?

Everything is gonna be

all right.

Where's your car?

Smithburg police,

open up!

- Liam, what are we gonna do?

- I don't know.

Mr. daerwood, you're gonna

have to open this door!

Just let me talk to them.

Give me your keys.

Come on.

Come here.

- Mr. daerwood?

- Yeah.

Are they still inside?

Hartwell and your wife,

are they still inside?

Yes, they're still inside.

Wait, wait a minute!

Sir, it's for

your own safety.

No!

Let go of me, goddammit!

Jesus Christ! You said we

were gonna do this together.

Just get in the vehicle,

Mr. daerwood.

We'll take it from here.

You've got to take

them in together. Hey!

- Oh, sh*t!

- Get away from her!

- Get down! Get down!

- Okay!

- Okay!

- Get down. All the way down.

Drop, hands behind your back.

He's clean.

Same here.

All right, get them up.

Ma'am, we're gonna need

to ask you a few questions now.

- Take him out front.

- No, no, no, please.

- You can't do that.

- Get them out of here.

You can't take me out there,

not without her.

I have to go with him.

We have to go together.

No, just let me go!

- We can take her with us.

Hold on, listen to me.

Please! Please!

Look, I'll go with you.

I'll go with you, all right?

You've got to keep us

together, okay? Please.

- Just let me go!

- Calm down.

Stop dragging me out there,

or people are gonna die.

He's gonna kill everybody!

We're all gonna die!

No! No!

No! Don't you hear me?

You're gonna die!

- All right, that's enough. Take her out back.

- No!

Get out of here!

Please! No!

You're all gonna die!

No! No!

No! No!

No! No! No!

F***! F***!

No.

Please.

Sarge?

- No!

- Get on the ground.

- Don't.

- Get on the ground!

Get on the...

F***.

Jane? Jane? Jane?

Oh, my god! Liam!

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

I'm so sorry.

Just get the keys.

Are they...

They're dead.

All of them.

Look, we've got to get

out of here

before more of them

show up.

My car is two streets away,

in front of a gray house.

I'm not gonna

say anything.

We've got to get

out of here, now.

Come with us.

No. Somebody's gotta stay here and explain

to them how this thing really works.

I have to make

them understand

that none of this

was your fault.

Both of you.

- Just go.

- Thank you.

Let's go.

It's not your fault.

There's only so many times

I can tell myself that.

NASA just released images

of what they're

currently qualifying...

as a genuine

unexplained cosmic event.

The image lasts

only for a few frames,

that seems to literally touch

down somewhere on the east coast

knocking out a communication

satellite in the process.

NASA spokesperson

is set to address the issue

tomorrow morning in a press

conference in Washington DC,

and we're all very excited...

That's what happened,

that's what did this to us.

We have to call Sam. He has to

get in touch with NASA or somebody.

- No, we can't do that.

- Why?

Because they're gonna be

tapping his phone

- after what happened at the store.

- Sh*t.

Look, chances are,

Sam's already seen,

or at the very least,

he's gonna see it tomorrow

he'll figure it out.

This is the place?

Yeah.

What if it doesn't work?

I mean, suppose Sam finds

somebody to explain this to.

Someone who will

actually listen to him

or get it through their heads

that none of this is our fault.

It's all because of this...

Whatever the f*** it is.

That doesn't guarantee

that anybody's gonna be able

to figure out

how to cure us.

Why are you saying this?

If they can't find the cure,

they can't cure me.

And they're gonna have

to lock us up together.

Until...

Who the f*** knows.

You don't deserve that.

Liam?

I wouldn't care.

I'm gonna take

a walk around.

F***.

It must be hard

losing a sister.

What is it?

Nothing.

I just don't remember

saying I had a sister.

I didn't wanna say
