Guys, there's broken glass.

Martin, let me get up on your shoulders!

Go, go! Get up!

Here we go.

- Come on Joe!

Come on, you all!

You can do it, Joe! Lets go!

Joe, you break the glass!

Come on guys, hurry!

We've got some questions

for you. Come on!

Is she dead?

- Just come with us.

Hey, fellows.

I got orders from Colonel Nelec to

personally deliver this man back to base.

He's all yours, Staff Sgt.

Let's go.

- What are you doing?

Where are we going?

To find our kids.

Guys, guys! I found them.

Hey guys, I found my firecrackers!

Congratulations!

- Look guys, they're coming back.

I think we should go! Come on!

Guys, come on!

No, look.

You dorks are alive! I thought...

What the f***?

- Donnie, Donnie...

We need a ride into town.

Okay but just so you know,

I'm massively stoned right now.

Do you want me to drive?

Guys, what was that?

Sound like gun shots.

- Joe where are we going?

I saw something in the cemetery.

Woodward said it was subterranean.

I think I know where it is.

What the hell is that?

Turn the damn car!

Joe, turn the car around!

- I can't 'cause the tank's behind me!

Guys, we have to run!

Donnie, Donnie, wake up!

He's too stoned!

- Drugs are so bad!

Why are they firing?

Come on!

It's crazy, what is going on?

Sir, the weapons are misfiring!

All of them!

Surface-to-air, radar,

it's a mess out here, sir.

Run!

- Come on!

What the hell?

Come on guys, move!

Did you guys see the explosions?

They were huge!

Oh, my God!

Whose house is this?

It's Kathy's. I got it of the fridge.

Kathy? I know her.

Charles, what are you drinking dude?

It's not yours!

I'm thirsty! I'm in a war zone!

Guys, come on, let's go!

- Where are we going?

To the cemetery...

Guys, what happen to my legs? They hurt!

Oh sh*t, Martin, you got a

bone sticking out your leg!

Joe, give me that thing of the...

I got to go find Alice!

You guys stay here with Martin!

You going to be okay without me?

Yes!

I've got to go save the girl!

- Go on Cary! Shut up!

Come on!

Jesus, Martin, we haven't done it yet!

Just follow me.

I've been following you

for the last five blocks.

What are we doing here?

Come on, get these doors. Help me.

Help you with what?

We've to get inside.

Okay, for what?

I'll tell you in a second.

Why is there dirt on these windows?

At three, push.

One, two, three!

Wow!

This is scary.

You got any sparklers in there?

Are you kidding me?

Alice is down there.

I came to your house that day,

to tell you that I never

meant to hurt anyone.

I swear to God.

I'm sorry, Jack.

About what happened to your wife.

It was an accident.

It 'was an accident.

Joe, I do not understand...

This way.

It's Sheriff Pruitt.

- I know, Cary look.

There are bodies everywhere.

What is this?

- Water from the water tower, look!

She got to be here. She got to be here.

It's eating a person.

She's here. Oh my God, she's here.

Cary, we need to use your firecrackers.

I don't think that is

going to hurt him, Joe.

There's other tunnels.

- So?

I need you to make noise.

Right here in 2 minutes.

Make it loud and make it last.

Use your sparklers.

Make sure you're gone when it blows.

You can't be here. You got to run!

Where are you going?

Come on, Cary.

Alice, please, wake up.

Alice, Alice.

Please, wake up! Alice!

You're alive! You're alive!

You're alive!

Are you okay? Can you hear me?

What is this?

What are you doing here?

I'm just doing the best

I can to safe you.

How did you know?

Your dad, he told me.

He was worried. He's flipping up.

Really?

- We have to move.

Excuse me.

Where are we?

I left my bag in the car and I when I...

He has been locked up for years.

He's terrified and hungry,

and he just wants to go home.

When he touched, I knew.

I need you help me get the sheriff down.

Follow me this way.

I'll get us out of here.

Sure, we came down...

- Don't argue with me!

You just follow me!

Come on kids, just go with the Sheriff.

This way.

Joe!

I told you to get out.

What are you doing here?

I just lost the way out, I tried.

Hey Alice, welcome back.

Hey! Come on, we got

to get out of here now!

She's gone! It took her!

I don't want to be next!

Go!

You don't want to be here! Go!

Joe, what are you doing?

What the hell is he doing?

We understand!

But not everyone is bad.

I know bad things happen.

Bad things happen.

But you can still live.

You can still live.

Okay, wait a minute.

What?

Look Out! Get down! Get down!

What are you doing?

He's making a model.

I got you.

I got you.
