Honey.

Emilie.

Somewhere off from Hills Road.

What's happening?

I don't know.

This is an emergency broadcast issued

from Montgomery County. Please stand by.

Oh, Jesus.

You're hurt.

- Emilie, you're hurt.

- I'm fine.

Okay, uh...

Tell me what to do, all right?

How do I... how do I fix it?

You can't.

I love you, Jim.

No. No. No, no, no, no, no.

Okay, we're gonna fix you, all right?

I'm gonna get you to a hospital,

Okay? So just... Emilie, hold on.

Emilie.

Emilie, wake up!

Hello.

Try not... to Montgomery County.

Well, according to live witnesses

regarding the recent events

currently taking place in Montgomery

County, where an explosion has happened.

We're trying our best

to bring you new information,

but we really don't know

what is going on.

Earlier this morning,

at approximately 7:30, reports came in

that there was an explosion

on the outskirts of Montgomery County.

Now, we don't know if this was an act

of terrorism or merely an accident.

It's too early to say at this point.

To hopefully fill us in on what is going

on, we'll go live to one of our analysts

whos reporting to us via satellite phone

from just outside Montgomery County.

Bill, are you there?

Uh, yes, Amy, thank you.

Uh, we don't know much as of right now.

All that we can tell you is

the military isn't letting

anybody in or out of the county.

In fact, it's quite frightening that...

...military officials and helicopters,

literally coming from every direction.

...appearing out of nowhere, and

they're not telling us what's going on.

Cell phone communication

seems to be down.

Landline phones only seem to be working

within the county.

This is believed to be

a part of the military's procedure

in quarantining this town.

Now, we've been hearing

that there is smoke visible.

Can you fill us in on that?

Uh, yes, I'm standing

just on the outside

of the western border of Montgomery

County and when I look towards the east,

I see a massive cloud of smoke

coming from the ground.

Now I can only guess...

that's what is causing this panic.

I-I've noticed that

the military is wearing gas masks.

They're actually rounding up reporters

to leave the area.

And, uh, quite frankly...

I am trying to get...

Hold on, hold on one second, Amy.

There's something happening.

- There's a man walking towards us.

- Bill, are you there?

Uh, there's a man walking towards us

right now, with nothing on...

Oh, my God.

Jesus!

They just... they just shot a guy

that was trying to cross...

Oh, my God!

Hey, what's going on? What happened?

Bill.

Bill, talk to us, please.

Can somebody tell me what's going on?

...a large number of military aircraft

taking off from Clark County Airport.

Uh, which is a bordering county

to Montgomery County.

I'm standing just south of

the airport's main runway, and I'm so...

...all around me. Uh, they're starting

to take off, and I'm starting to see

helicopters in every direction,

as they rise to the skies around me.

Uh, suddenly, some are beginning

to now appear off a distance, and, uh,

I would guess it has to be restrictive

to aircraft, uh, airborne at this time.

There're so many that I can't even count

them all. It truly is a fascinating...

Hey!

Hello!

Is somebody behind there?

I know somebody's in there!

I have a gun and I'm not afraid

to use it, so come out right now!

This is your last chance!

Come out right now!

Sh*t!

Wa-sSsSs-u;P

Please.

Hello.

Are you the person in the barn?

Who is this?

Thank God. I've tried every number

in the book to get a hold of somebody.

I heard gunshots. Are you okay?

How do you know where I am?

Your lights.

We're just down the hill from you.

We're in the warehouse

just to the north.

Hey, Julie, flip the lights.

You see us?

Yeah.

I think he will need this.

How many are in your group?

Just me. You?

There's three of us. We've been

holding up pretty good down here.

You're the first person

we've been able to contact

since this whole thing started.

We have plenty of food and water.

Should last us at least a week or so.

How're you holding up?

Not good.

Well, you're more than welcome

to join us if you want.

Do you care for the hike?

Think we're in luck.

I don't think they saw you.

I'm Scott. We talked on the phone.

You got a name or should I just call you

"guy I talked to on the phone"?

- Jim.

- Well, nice to meet you, Jim.

- Nice to meet you too.

- Well, how about a grand tour?

So, what do you think?

Nice, huh?

It's big.

- Scott.

- Oh, yeah, Jim, this is my wife, Julie.

It's so nice to meet you.

Would you care for something to drink?

- Water would be great.

- Sure thing.

Well, Jim, come make yourself at home.

As you can see here, we got

plenty of square footage to go around.

All the exits are, uh...

securely locked from the inside, so

only way in and out is, uh, with a key.

Got no windows, so we can

keep the lights on as long as we want.

We got power running from the generator

right over there.

It's gotta fill up from time to time.

- Wow, this is great.

- Yeah, we were lucky.

My neighbor actually owns the place.

Frankly, it was the only place

I can think to go to.

What's upstairs?

Mainly offices. We keep

most of our supplies up here though.

In case one of those things gets in,

we can retreat up here

and barricade ourselves in.

Actually, the only way up here

is through that door down there.

Think of it as a, uh,

last line of defense.

Who is that?

Oh, that's Ix.

She's not the easiest to talk to.

- What happened to her?

- We don't know exactly.

When Julie and I were headed here,

we found her hunkered down in

a storm drain on the side of the road.

At first, we thought

she was one of them, but then she spoke.

Asked her if she wanted to join us, so

that's why she's here.

She'll warm up to you, eventually.

Just give her some time.

- Scott.

- Yeah?

Ask Jim if he's hungry. I feel so rude

for not offering any food.

All right, honey.

You hungry?

Sorry.

It's okay. We have plenty to go around.

Don't worry about it.

Julie cleaned your shirt for you.

Think she did the best she could here.

Thanks.

Well, I hope this cot is, uh,

comfortable enough for you.

And, uh, sorry

if the sheets smell like crap.

Pretty much all we can find around here.

It's great.

You know,

just think of it like summer camp.

Except,

you can't really go outside and play.

- Get some sleep. We'll talk tomorrow.

- Yeah.

Hi.

Yeah, yeah, I still remember that,

actually, but, uh, we're actually, uh,

just hitting 6:
30, and we have some, uh,

great music planned today,

and if you stay tuned for later,

we're gonna have our late-day drawing...
