The 5th Wave Page #3

I know. It's impossible to tell.

Look through here.

Look.

That's its true form.

The Others infest real humans

like some sort of parasite.

Take over their minds, their bodies.

Drugs, radiation,surgery, nothing works.

The only way to kill 'em is to kill the host.

He's already dead.

You just need to destroy the thing inside him.

The thing that did this.

Push the button.

Look again!

Look!

If you're gonna be on my squad,

I need to know that you will do whatever it takes to...

Welcome to the fight.

CASSIE:
Here's how you kill off a species.

First, you take out the easy ones,

the weak, the exposed.

Kill them as efficiently as possible.

That was the first three Waves.

But even if you bug bomb a house,

there's always a few cockroaches left.

Now, we are like those cockroaches.

And The Others are picking us off.

One by one.

And because The Others look like us,

we can't trust anyone.

Eighty miles to Wright-Patterson.

I'm coming, Sammy.

I promise.

CASSIE:
How do you rid the world of humans?

MAN:
Help me.

First, you rid the humans of their humanity.

Sh*t.

Shi... Shi...

God!

Sam.

All right. All right.

God!

I'm sorry, Sam.

COLONEL VOSCH:
When I was a child,

I spoke as a child.

I thought and I reasoned as a child.

But when I became a man,

I put away childish things.

Those words never meant more

to me than they do right now,

looking at all of you.

Our hope. Our future.

The best and brightest vision of who

we are and what we're fighting for.

Our intelligence tells us The Others are

readying them selvesfor a final attack.

The 5th Wave.

What form it will take,we do not know.

If they are successful,

there will be no more Waves.

No more conflicts.

Humanity as we know it will be

wiped from the face of the Earth.

Now.

I'm gonna tell you some things I know.

This is our world.

It is our home.

They will not over run it.

They will not possess it.

So with whatever time we have left,

you will learn to think, speak,

move and fight like the soldiers you are.

FEMALE RECRUIT 1: Look out! A raid!

FEMALE RECRUIT 2: Go!

Fire!

Let the weight of our loss fuel you.

Let the weight of our dead embolden you.

FEMALE RECRUIT 3: Your right! On your right!

Let the weight of our hope drive you to victory.

Can you do that?

All right. Hold!

Soldiers! Can you do that?

ALL:
Sir, yes, sir!

Zombie!

Get down!

It's a booby trap!

Can you do that?

ALL:
Sir, yes, sir!

Good.

Come on.

Where's my gun? Where's my gun?

Where is it?

I know you're awake.

Cassie?

How the hell do you know my name?

Your driver's license.

I'm Evan.

Evan Walker.

Where am I?

You were bleeding on the highway.

I brought you back here, to my house.

Where's my gun?

All right, when you found me on

the highway, I had my gun. Where is it?

I didn't see any gun.

What did you do?

Your leg, Cassie.

Don't touch me! Don't touch me! Don't...

Your leg.

Jesus.

Oh, God.

Put your leg over here.

This is gonna hurt.

All right. Just do it. Just do it.

Oh, God.

EVAN:
Okay.

Oh, God.

How long have I been here?

About a week.

Oh, God.

How far is Wright-Patterson from here?

Uh, about 60 miles.

Why?

Jesus!

Hey. It's okay.

You're safe here.

No.

All right, we're not safe anywhere anymore.

Why did you wanna know how

close Wright-Patterson was?

Uh...

It's my brother.

The army took him there, so I...

I need to get him back.

What?

You should eat.

You gotta get your strength back.

Why'd you bring me here?

What do you want?

My family.

I couldn't save them,

but I could save you.

The way everything's happened,

I guess it just makes me feel more...

Human.

And you need help with that?

Feeling human?

Don't you?

Maybe.

You're cheating.

I'm not cheating.

Don't you tell him my card.

You hear me, Oompa?

Hey, I've been getting pretty lucky,

and this isn't my first time playing.

By the way, I heard the new guy coming in

got kicked out of their last squad.

For what?

Disciplinary issues.

That true, boss?

That's what they say.

What's his name?

SERGEANT REZNIK:
The name's Ringer.

And he is a she.

Bunk's over there.

GIRL 1:
Did you ever do karate before?

GIRL 2:
No.

GIRL 1:
Sure looks like you did.

You Zombie?

Yeah.

I was the leader of my last squad.

No doubt.

So the guy I replace went Section 8.

Why?

Does it matter?

I heard it's 'cause this squad's so bad

he was afraid you'd get him

killed when the 5th Wave hits.

ZOMBIE:
Uh-huh. It's your squad, too, now.

Hey!

Keep staring at my ass

and I'll rip your throats out.

Let's be clear.

I'm not taking orders from you.

I'm not gonna die with you geniuses.

Good to know.

If anyone in this barrack touches me, I'll kill them.

Got it?

Anything else?

I like to play chess. Do you play?

No, actually.

But if you wanna play some strip poker later on...

Ah!

Oh, sh*t!

And no demeaning, sexist remarks.

She's cool.

Quiet.

You had my gun the whole time!

Why'd you lie?

I was afraid you'd shoot me.

For all I knew, you were an Other.

Yeah, well...

Was he one? Out there?

Yeah.

The woods are full of 'em.

They're using those drones

to hunt down survivors.

He looked so human that...

Oh, God. I gotta get Sam.

Cassie.

Rallying points, places like Wright-Patterson,

they're obvious targets.

You think that Sammy's already dead?

I'm sorry, Cassie.

You're wrong, Evan.

All right? He's alive.

He's alive, and I'm gonna go get him.

Cassie.

I'm going with you.

You're not gonna make it very far on your own.

You know what?

Screw you, Evan.

Okay? I don't need you. I don't need anyone.

Cassie, come on.

If you go, I'll just follow you.

Actually, no.

If I need someone to carve a cane for me...

You can't stop me. How are you gonna stop me?

I don't know. Maybe I'll shoot you!

What, like you shot that guy with the crucifix?

What, you read my journal?

I didn't think you were gonna live.

Don't touch me!

I'm sorry.

I'll get you there.

I can't promise what you'll find,

but I will get you there.

We leave in the morning.

RINGER:
This is a waste of time.

Go ahead and try it again.

Those kids are gonna bedead

before their boots hit the ground.

Especially with you as squad leader.

You don't know anything about me.

Let me guess.

You did good in school, had a bunch of friends.

You probably played football.

You might have even been team captain.

Life was easy.

And then, all of a sudden, it wasn't.

No more games to win.

No one to get weak-kneed at that pretty smile.

You weren't ready for the end of the world.

And you were?

I know how to survive.

And I was doing fine out there on my own.

Till they forced me onto their stupid school bus.

They were rescuing us.

We didn't get rescued, dumbass.

We got drafted.

Good, good.

Try it again.

How about this?

I take you down,

you teach us how to shoot.

And when you don't?

I stop asking.

Deal.

Cute necklace. Girlfriend or sister?

Sister.

You're too sentimental.

Can you teach me that thing where
