Move out of this town.

Start a new job.

And make those friends, you know?

Instead, I'm...

hiding...

for my life, in a warehouse.

And I lost the only friend that I had.

Maybe we could be friends.

I'd like that.

Came from the back door.

Jim... Jim...

- What should we do?

- Go upstairs and lock the door.

You don't open the door unless

you hear our voices from the outside.

- Do you understand?

- Yeah.

Go now!

So, what do you think?

Stay here.

What do you see?

I don't see anybody.

Please let me in.

What's your name?

Where did you come from?

I'm looking for my daughter.

Have you seen her?

- No.

- Please let me in. I need to come in.

What do you think? Should we let her in?

We should let her in.

Where did you come from?

Have you seen any of those things?

I came from town. I managed

to get pass them. Please let me come in.

- Something's not right with her.

- Would you be if you're out there?

- Give me the flashlight.

- What?

Give it to me.

Your eyes.

Please let me come in.

- Get outta here or we'll shoot!

- Let me in!

- Shoot her, Jim.

- Get outta here, right now!

- Let me in!

- Shoot her, Jim. Shoot her!

At approximately 6:30 this morning,

a small battalion of marines was

deployed on a search-and-rescue mission

on the western borders

of Montgomery County.

They believe that

the process will be slow,

but are determined

to find any survivors.

Hey.

Hi.

TV says they sent out a search team. I

don't know what that means for us but...

- It's good news.

- Yeah.

Um, look, I just wanted to say

thank you, for last night.

Appreciated your comfort.

Not exactly used to people

listening to my problems, so thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Cool.

And we're continuing to see more

and more airdrops fall from the skies

over Montgomery County.

Now, each one of these airdrops

is filled with food, water and, uh,

other survival gear...

Raptor, do you copy me?

Raptor, copy.

Heading 257.

I'm out of candy bars.

You okay?

Um, yeah, I'm just

a little bit flustered, that's all.

Jim! Jim, get down here!

What is it?

- It just started going off.

- ...27259.

Copy that.

There-there was nothing and then...

voices.

Anybody got eyes on Raptor?

Yeah, we're-we're

actually en route right now.

What's your, uh, current heading?

- What is that?

- Heading 270, over.

- Copy that, heading 270.

- Turn it off.

- What?

- I said turn it off.

What the hell did you do that for?

- What is it?

- Helicopters. We're going home!

I can see 'em!

They're too far away.

They can't see the sign.

The hell with this.

Scott. Scott, no!

Scott! Scott, no!

Hey!

Help! Hey! Down here!

Scott, get back inside!

Help! Hey! Down here!

Scott!

Sh*t.

What the hell were you thinking

out there?

You saw the helicopters.

I was just trying to get...

I don't give a sh*t what you were

trying to do, Scott! You put us at risk!

Not to mention how many of those things

probably saw that we were in here.

Hey! Who the hell put you in charge?

Remember it was us that invited you here.

We were doing just fine without you.

We give you food, water.

- I'll do whatever I want.

- Ix.

I was trying to get us out of here.

Hey, guys!

There's something wrong with Ix!

What's wrong with her?

- What's wrong with her?

- I don't know.

- Goddammit, get away from her!

- Get the hell offa me!

Quit it, you guys!

Alix... Alix...

Is she dead?

- She's in shock.

- Way to go, "doctor."

- Is she sick?

- No.

Um, then, what is it?

- How is she doing?

- Not good. Barely spoken a word.

So, what do we do now, Jim?

I don't know. We don't know how long

we're gonna be here until help arrives.

Could be weeks.

Well, I'm aware of that,

but it doesn't help our situation.

- Then, I'll go get some.

- That's crazy.

The nearest drugstore

is on the other side of town.

I go and get the medicine.

I come back. I'll be back by sundown.

You will never make it.

What about the airdrop?

What?

The airdrop.

TV said that they had medicine in them.

Surely they would have insulin, right?

What's she talking about?

What airdrop?

Before we saw your light in the barn,

we saw planes fly over, dropping things

out of the back, attached to parachutes.

Thought it was just supplies

or something, but didn't really care.

- It was too far away to concern us.

- Where'd they drop it?

Uh, just to the southwest of us,

over in this area.

Couldn't be more than a mile or so away.

Then, that's it.

Jim, it's suicide. We wouldn't make it

pass all those things.

- Then, I'll go alone.

- Jim.

Look, I'll grab what I can,

and I'll come back.

I can't just sit here

and watch her die.

I'll need you to clear me a path.

Think you can handle that?

I'll do what I can, but once you're over

that hill, you're on your own.

Just remember, if you get into trouble

with those things, don't run.

It'll only draw more attention

to yourself.

Thanks for reminding me.

Now, you only have about

another 40 minutes of sunlight,

so I suggest you get what you need

and hurry back.

- Okay. Any other advice?

- Yeah, don't die.

All right, all set down there?

- Ready when you are.

- All right, here we go.

Sh*t.

Go!

Scott.

Scotty.

What's your location? Jim. Jim!

Jim, can you hear me?

Jim, come in.

Sh*t.

How is she?

I think she's gonna be okay.

She just needs some rest.

So, how do you know so much

about this stuff anyway?

my fiance, Emilie, was a nurse.

Guess I just picked up a few things

along the way.

It's a good thing you did.

Mmm, so good.

I don't know how much more

of that canned stuff I could take.

Better not let Julie hear you say that.

I never said anything, but...

I'm gonna let you know that I really

appreciate what you did back there.

You know, when you had my back

when that thing attacked me.

- You would've done the same thing.

- Uh, I'm not so sure I would have.

I was just so scared out there.

You know, my muscles

just stopped working. I froze.

You, on the other hand...

You've got something I don't.

I mean, you reacted.

You saved my life.

Well, I'm gonna turn in.

Been a long day of

"nothing to look forward to."

Good night, Scott.

Good night, buddy.

- What happened?

- Welcome back.

I was having the worst nightmare.

Can't be any worse than

the nightmare we're having right now.

How're you feeling?

All right, I guess.

Should've told us, Alix.

You had us worried.

You had me worried.

Sorry.

It's okay.

She was lucky to have you.

I was lucky to have her.

- You need anything?

- No.

You sure?

Yeah.

Okay then, go back to bed.

You need a lot more rest.

- We'll talk again at breakfast, okay?

- Okay.

Okay.

Jim?

Julie, get outta here!

Jim! Jim! Go get Ix!

- Go! I'm behind you!

- Okay!

Say something.

Say something!

Hi.

Uh, apparently, the chemical plant

was the cause of all of this.

A cooler in one of the holding tanks

malfunctioned.

The chemicals were very aggressive

on the nervous system, but it...

it didn't seem to have the same effect
