Safety off.

Listen to me.

You're gonna carry this with you at all times,

you're not gonna tell anybody you have it,

and you're only gonna use it if it's life or death.

You got it?

I thought we were safe here.

Pumpkin, there's nothing safe anymore.

CHILD 1:
Here, you wanna put it in the basket?

CHILD 2:
Okay.

Here. Take this one.

Okay.

GIRL:
You gotta get the weeds, guys.

What was that?

Sam, come here.

What is that?

I don't know. Come on.

GIRL 2:
Asher, come on!

GIRL 3:
Mommy!

Dad!

What is that?

You see Dad?

Dad!

Cassie?

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

What's going on?

HUTCHFIELD:
All right, just take it easy.

I thought the cars didn't work.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Colonel

Vosch of the United States Army.

My men and I are from the

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

We're here to help.

It's about time.

Let's get you people out of here.

MAN 1:
Heck, yeah!

MAN 2:
Thank you.

Yes!

U.S.A.!

We should be ready to go at

a moment's notice, all right?

Stay with your sister, Sam.

Come on.

You can go right on the bus.

SOLDIER:
Adults,

please move to the mess hall for a briefing.

Children, please move to

the buses for transport.

MAN 3:
We're right behind you.

Be good!

Adults, please move to the

mess hall for a briefing.

Do you think they have electricity

if the trucks are working?

I don't know. Why, you still have a phone?

Yeah.

You have a charger?

Of course, yeah.

Whoa, whoa, sir, sir.

Yeah?

My orders are to get just the kids onto the bus.

Well, those might be your orders,

but they're my kids.

Yeah.

So we're gonna stay together.

We'll wait for another bus.

It's okay, Private.

I got this.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Look, you're welcome to keep 'em

here with you if you want,

but if they were my kids,

I'd get 'em on that bus.

Why?

We have reason to believe there's an

imminent threat to this location.

We're trying to get everyone to

safety as quickly as we can,

and this is the only

working transpo we've got,

so we're taking shifts based on need.

Kids first,then we come

backfor the rest of ya.

Well, how safe is it at Wright-Patterson?

Safest place there is right now.

And the buses will just come right back?

Dad, no.

Drop 'em off, come right back.

Like I said, it's your call.

Just 'cause some man in uniform

tries to tell us what to do

doesn't mean we actually

have tofollow his orders.

Okay, I want you on this one, all right?

I'll be right behind you.

We can't split up.

And we're gonna have dinner tonight.

We're going to the same place.

Dad, no.

Cassie.

It's the Army, okay? This is our army.

It's fine. It's gonna be okay.

Don't leave me alone.

All right. Come here.

I love you.

Take care of your brother.

All right? Come here.

I want you to listen to your sister, all right?

Okay.

She's in charge.

Okay?

Dad.

Go ahead.

I'll be therebefore you know it.

Here, head to the back, Sam.

All right.

All right.

Come here. Give me your backpack.

Bear!

What?

Cassie, I forgot Bear!

Cassie.

What? Sam, what?

I forgot Bear! I need to go get him!

Sam, stop. Sit down.

It's okay. What's up?

I can't. I can't go without him.

Please!

All right, all right, all right, all right.

I'll go get him, okay?

Just stay here. All right?

I'll be right back.

Promise?

Yeah, I'll be right back. I promise.

WOMAN:
Right, no, I think you're right.

MAN:
Just grab whatever you can

get up in a box and carry it.

SOLDIER:
This way. Down to the mess hall.

In the mess hall now, please.

Come on, Sam.

Bear, Bear, Bear.Bear, Bear, Bear, Bear.

Oh, God. Sam!

SAM:
Hey! Wait!

CASSIE:
Stop!

Sam!

Cassie! Wait, stop!

Sam! No! Sam, wait!

Sam!

Cassie! Come on!

Cassie!

Sam!

No!

Cassie, No, No.

No!

No.

Shi...

Can I have your attention, please?

If you'll all just quiet down.

We believe the 4th Wave has begun.

The Others have come down off their ship.

They are moving among us.

Apparently, they have the

ability to inhabit human hosts

and control their actions.

So, they look like humans?

That's correct.

Where are they?

They could be anywhere.

What we do know is they

have snipers in these woods,

and they are targeting survivors.

We've got intel that would suggest

some of them could be right

here in this very camp.

MAN:
So, what... Are you saying

that some of us are Others?

COLONEL VOSCH:
Please.

There's a lot we still don't know.

We can detect them in children.

Unfortunately, the screening procedure

for adults is a bit more complicated.

WOMAN:
What about our kids?

Yeah, what about our kids?

I know. I know you all wanna

get back to your families.

Unfortunately,we're gonna have to

move you all to a secure holding facility

so they can run some screening protocols.

Folks, please!

You need to understand, there is no way

to differentiate us from The Others

without a comprehensive screening process.

The sooner we get you screened,

the sooner we can get you back to your families.

This is bullshit!

I am not an Other, okay?

I'm not going anywhere.

COLONEL VOSCH:
Sir, no one's saying that you are.

This is the reality of our situation.

Now if you'd just calm down.

Please, just calm down.

Let me out of here. Get out of my way. Watch out.

Hold on, sir.

Wait. Hey.

Back it up. Now.

Stop right there.

Sir, drop your weapon.

Step aside, now.

Sir, drop your weapon.

Drew, no!

You can't keep me in here!

Everybody, just calm down!

Let me out now!

Lower the weapon. Now.

I wanna see my kids!

Put it down!

Let me out of here!

No! Drew, stop!

Stay down!

Run!

No, no, no.

Hey, Dad?

Daddy.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Daddy.

I need my dad.

God!

SOLDIER:
Security teams,

clear zones three and four.

Security teams, clear zones three and four.

Support team members,

SERGEANT REZNIK:
What's your name?

Ben Parish.

They called me "Zombie"in quarantine.

Any family not known to be dead?

No.

Sister died in the quakes.

Mom and Dad killed by the virus.

But it didn't kill you, did it?

Not quite.

That where the nickname came from?

You fought it off.

Yeah, lucky me.

Is this your sister's?

Yeah.

Well, lucky you.

You get to help avenge her death.

This puts out a signal that we can track.

You kids are the most important thing right now.

We need every one of you to

help us fight The Others.

This isn't summer camp, Zombie.

You're a soldier now.

So we don't wanna lose you. Stand up.

Turn around.

Take a deep breath.

You all right?

How are we supposedto fight The Others

if we don't even know what they are?

Actually, we do.

You wanna see one?

Don't worry. He won't be able to see us.
