Reign Of Fire
Hello, Quinn.
Good morning, Quinn.
How's it going, mate?
What's up, guys?
Working the late shift,
are you?
Ha! Someone's got to
clean up after you guys.
All right, Quinn.
Oi, oi, oi.
Come on, then.
You're not havin' one
yourself, then?
No.
I'm trying to cut back.
You heard from the school,
then, didn't you?
Down you go.
Good night, lads.
...See you, Karen. ... Great
work. Have a good weekend.
Oi, Karen,
here's the new recruit.
...Employment office
is up top. ... Hi, Mum!
Quinn, how are you, mate?
Have you been smoking?
No, I told you... I only smoke
when I've been drinking.
What's wrong?
Nothing.
Quinn... what is it?
You've got something
you want to show me.
You know what it says.
Scholarship was worth...
$3,000 a year.
We don't have
that sort of money.
Maybe we could ask Dad
to pay.
Sorry.
Karen?
What?
Jess says he's hit
some sort of a void.
Oh, that b*tch hasn't a clue
to what she's doing.
Hey... Quinn.
And what brings you
to the arsehole of the world?
What's that make you?
Ha.
Here.
Why don't you go inside
and have a wee look?
Wicked.
Whoa.
...I know it's still...
... Well, I covered it.
What... Quinn!
Mum, there's something
in there.
There's something
in the hole!
Damn it, Jess!
It's unsafe conditions!
Here.
Let's look at this void.
It's unsafe!
I'm just going to wash
your eyes out, okay?
Mum, we've got to go!
No, no.
We've got to do this fast.
Open your eyes.
Open them up. Open them.
Oh.
Give me that.
Get in!
Mum, there was something
in there!
...Come here!
Come on! Come on!
Mum!
Ahhhhhhh!
Mum?
Mum?
Mum?
I've kept this for years,
because someday
it will be up to you.
I don't want you to be afraid.
I want you to understand.
Knowledge is the only weapon
we've got left.
In the beginning, it was
ignorance that destroyed us.
I saw the first, but soon
the world saw millions.
No one knew how they spawned
so fast.
They swarmed like locusts,
burning everything
in their path,
driven by one purpose...
to feed.
Even then, we couldn't believe
they were real.
Ancient man had made them
into myths,
but nature had made something
far more terrible.
Too late, our scientists
discovered their true identity...
the dinosaurs to dust,
whose ash had brought on
ice ages,
who, in eons past, had scorched
waiting for the Earth
to replenish itself,
...2... 1. ... Our weapons
shot fire back at them,
yet for every one of them
killed,
a hundred took its place.
They seemed invulnerable.
We could only look on
as our leaders used
their greatest arsenal
to destroy them.
...But in the end,
we only helped them,
till the world burned
and the few of us
that were left fled the cities,
...You have to understand
our past
because you will decide
our future.
They're starving now,
and they're more dangerous
than ever.
But we have to go on.
We have to outlast them.
Only one species is getting
out of this alive.
Hey, Quinn!
Come and have a look
at this!
It's a straight drop now
from the water tower.
You just pull the plug,
hits the walls.
Don't care about the specs,
Jerry.
can it take it?
Yeah. Course it can.
Remember, I used to build
blast furnaces for a living.
I know all about fire.
Of course you do.
Sorry, mate.
Nice one.
Eddie's gone psycho.
...Jared?
... Yeah, Quinn?
Keep 'em at it.
No slacking!
You heard him.
No slacking.
Go!
Ye, though
his brethren rose
like locusts
from the Earth, Quinn,
... Yeah.
...No fire could
extinguish theirs! ... Yeah.
...They will prepare...
... Cheers, mate.
What's up, Quinn?
What are you doing, Eddie?
Me and a few others,
we're going harvesting, Quinn.
No, you're not.
It's not ready.
Half the stuff's not ripe. You
pick it now, it won't germinate.
That means no seeds. That means
nothing to plant next season.
There won't be a next season.
We'll be starved to death.
What is this?
We can do it, Eddie.
We decided, all of us,
you as well...
dig in, work together,
outlast them.
Kids can't eat hope, Quinn.
Edinburgh's gone.
We haven't heard from Pembury
or Norwich in two years!
We're on our own, Quinn.
Yeah, we know that. That's why we have
to hang on. Maybe we are all that's left.
Eight years I've listened
to you, and for what?
Two kids and a wife
buried on the road.
I'm not losing these,
Quinn,
not when there's food
out there.
...Sorry, Eddie.
You're not going anywhere.
...Give me the keys. ...
You bloody take 'em from me.
It's a community,
not a prison.
Eddie... you can argue
as much as you like.
It makes no difference.
The point is,
if you go out those gates,
then you jeopardize
this community...
you can stay out there,
because you're not coming back.
...All right.
I'm keeping these.
Hey, Quinn.
You know,
I'm your best friend,
and sometimes
even I don't like you.
Sorry.
"Join me,"
"then we can end
this conflict forever. "
Never!
Aah!
"I'll never join you,"
"You killed my father. "
Aah!
Aah!
Creedy!
The black knight stares through
into our hero's heart forever.
"I... am your father. "
No!
Did you make that up,
Mr. Quinn?
Course I did.
All right, kids.
Time for bed.
...No! ... One more! ... No!
Tomorrow. No, no.
Prayers first.
Tomorrow!
..."The Lion King"! ... Yeah! ... Yeah!
Tomorrow!
Prayers first!
Okay.
Ready?
What do we do
when we wake?
Keep both eyes on the sky.
What do we do
when we sleep?
Keep one eye on the sky.
What do we do
when we see them?
Dig hard, dig deep,
run for shelter,
and never look back.
Well done.
Good night, guys.
Bedtime.
Bedtime!
Good night.
Why can't we stay up later?
Michael?
Quinn's asleep.
I took the keys.
Let's go.
You keep quiet.
...Hello, Liam.
Willem says it's dragon breath.
Don't you listen to him.
It's just the wind.
Okay.
Oh, God.
Ajay, alarm.
Take cover, kids.
Come on, now.
There we go, then.
Okay, children!
Head up!
One at a time!
Single file.
Single file.
Let's move!
Right.
Move the kids.
Let's go. Come on.
Creedy?
...Yeah?
... You got a count?
Yeah. We're good.
Quinn!
In the field.
Dragons!
Go get Eddie.
Rachel!
Rachel!
I'm here!
Devon!
Devon!
...Devon!
... Michael!
...D... where's Michael?
... Michael?
Michael! Michael!
You okay?
...Where's Matt?
... He's dead.
Eddie!
Let's go! Move!
Ahhhhhh!
Ahhhhhh!
...Come on! Go!
... Come on, Michael!
Go! Move!
Keep going! Come on!
Ahhhhh!
Dad... w-what'll we do?
We're trapped!
Come on!
Go!
...Move it!
... Hurry up!
Go! Come on!
Quick!
Get in there!
Get in!
You okay?
Devon!
Come on, Creedy.
Come on, Creedy!
...It's gonna blow up! ...
