The 5th Wave Page #5

If we would do what we were trained to do.

To kill Others!

No,to kill the survivors, man!

To kill survivors.

Yeah, well, what about the guys outside,

the ones that were shooting at us?

They're human.

Why would the army want us to kill other humans?

Because the army, Reznik, Vosch,

they're The Others.

And because we're kids,

they thought they could manipulate

us into doing their dirty work.

We're not fighting the 5th Wave.

We are the 5th Wave.

Oh, God.

So...

What do we do?

Take out your trackers.

We go AWOL.

This means we can't go back.

You know that, right?

Nugget.

I left him back at the base.

I was trying to protect him.

Jeez.

I gotta go back.

That's suicide, dude.

No, man. I gotta go back.

You can't just wander back in there.

They'll know.

I can't leave him there!

I'll put the tracker back in.

They'll pick me up.

You guys go ahead.

I will meet up with you later.

Dumbo, where can I take a

bullet in the torso and not die?

Are you serious?

I'm not kidding, man.

Where can I take a bullet in the torso?

I gotta make it look real.

It's the only way I'm getting back in alive.

It's impossible, man. There's too many organs.

There's gotta be somewhere, man.

Ringer, she can make the shot,

all right? I know she can.

You want me to shoot you?

Don't pretend like you haven't thought about it.

Where do you want me to shoot him?

Uh...

I mean, the... Oh, sh*t.

Evan Walker.

You're out of your drone sector.

Hey.

Put the gun down. Stay away.

Cassie, run!

Where's my gun?

Evan.

Drop the gun.

Evan, drop it.

If I was gonna kill you, Cassie,

I would've done it a long time ago.

What are you?

You're one of them. You're a f***ing Other.

I'm human.

But I'm Other, too.

I'm both.

This isn't the first time The Others have been here.

They came before and created

sleeper agents, like me.

I always felt different.

Growing up, there was this voice in my head.

It was quiet, but it was there.

And when the ship arrived,

it was like a switch was flipped inside me,

and the sleeper woke up.

How many people have you killed?

Did you kill your family?

No.

The disease...

The disease that The Others created.

The disease that you created.

Your family loved you.

Our kind believe that love is just a trick.

An instinct.

A way to protect your genetic future.

Do you really believe that?

I did.

But then I saw you.

EVAN:
I don't know how.

I don't understand it, but...

It was like you flipped the switch back.

You made me wanna be human again.

Did you shoot me?

No!

I saved you.

EVAN:
I was wrong.

They're wrong.

Love's not a trick. It's real.

I know now because of you.

Look, stay back!

I don't wanna hear any more.

Just stay there.

Cassie, please, just let me help you.

All I wanna do is help you find Sam.

All right. Get on your knees, Evan.

All right. Come on, just get on your knees.

Listen.

The Army is controlled by The Others.

They're preparing the kids.

For what?

To kill the last humans.

They'll search you.

You can't be armed.

If you follow me,

I'll shoot you.

Soldier, where's your unit?

All dead!

What's your number?

2-9-5!

2-9-5. He'll live.

Let's bug out!

All right, copy that, Tango Three.

Tango Three returning to base!

2-9-5 on deck!

The rest of the squad are reported KIA.

Ma'am, it's all right. It's all right. We've got you.

5-4-7!

547!

SERGEANT REZNIK:
Any family not known to be dead?

CASSIE:
No, just me.

Stand up.

You know why you're here, Cassie?

Uh-uh.

To get revenge.

He's an Other.

I know.

Look through here.

That's its true form.

That's the face it's hiding.

What happened out there?

It was bad, sir.

We were surrounded.

We tried to move to cover,

but as soon as we did...

They were everywhere, sir.

Everyone was hit.

Except you.

I took a bullet, sir.

But you survived.

It's a miracle,

the way that bullet went right

through you and managed to.

miss everything important.

Let's make a deal.

You drop your lie, and I'll drop mine.

Tell me, Ben.

What do you know?

I know what you are.

You're gonna kill me, aren't you?

Yes.

Why?

What's the point of any of this?

What did we do to deserve...

Nothing.

Other than occupy a space we need.

We're not that different, Ben.

Your kind would do exactly the same thing.

No.

Our kind wouldn't have

wiped out an entire species.

Of course you would.

You've been doing it for centuries.

Sir, Sergeant Reznik's dead.

Security found her body.

Where?

In medical.

There's more. Three guards

were killed at the west gate and...

What the hell was that?

An explosion, sir. It came from inside the base.

Get rid of him.

SOLDIER:
Damage to Sector Three!

Captain.

Let's go.

We need to move all the recruits off-base.

Get 'em on planes to Wonderland now.

Deploy units. Find out who's attacking us.

SOLDIER 2:
South corridor! On the double!

They're taking out our security cameras.

Bring the drones home so

we can see who's attacking us.

SOLDIER 3:
Yeah, these are the changes

from about 60 minutes ago.

Hey!

Don't move, all right! Don't move!

It's okay! Okay, all right!

Cassie? My name's Ben Parish.

We used to go to high school together.

I know who you are.

What squad are you in?

I'm looking for my brother, Sam.

Sam?

Sam Sullivan? Sam Sullivan?

You know my brother?

Yes, yes, we're in the same squad.

You know where he is?

I'm trying to get to him right now.

SOLDIER:
All recruits report to the transport area.

They're sending the kids off to war.

Vosch. The Army. They're Others.

Look, Sam is about to get on one of those planes.

If we don't go now, you're not gonna

see him again. You understand?

We don't have much time.

All recruits report to the transport area.

All right.

Ready?

Come on.

Once the recruits reach Wonderland,

get them ready for immediate deployment.

Yes, sir.

Transfer area's this way.

Hey!

This is a restricted area.

Hey, it's all right.

On your knees!

Hands behind your head!

No, it's fine. He's one of us. It's okay.

Evan, what are you doing here?

Helping you.

Who's he?

Ben Parish.

Ben Parish?

Yeah. Uh...

He was just here.

I told you not to follow me.

Well, I decided to ignore you.

I've been planting bombs.

In about 10 minutes, when the

last plane full of kids takes off,

I'm taking this place down, for good.

I'm sorry I lied to you, Cassie.

I was wrong when I said I was

both one of you and one of them.

You can't be both. You have to choose.

I choose you.

Go.

Get out of here.

I'll find you.

Who was that?

Evan Walker.

We gotta go find Sam.

I think Evan Walker's about to blow this place up.

Next floor up.

SOLDIER 4:
Head tothe northeast corridor,

number 22, now!

Which way?

This way.

SOLDIER:
Stay with your group leader.

Proceed to the transport

vehicles in a calm and orderly fashion.

Stay with your group leader.

Proceed to the transport vehicles.

SOLDIER 2:
Come on. Move along, people.

Straight ahead.

Stay with your group leader.

Keep it moving.
