The Happening: The Hard Cut Page #4

---

Something in this field could be

releasing the chemical into the air...

when there's too many of

us together.

Let's just stay ahead of the wind!

Let's break up into groups!

Here it comes!

Don't you let go of my hand!

Nothing happened.

Is the size of the groups.

Can this really be happening?

What are your names?

- Jared.

- Josh.

Wait, wait!

I'm going to go see if

that truck has a map.

You guys wait here.

Why aren't they looking into

nuclear power plants?

There are fifteen or more

in the North East alone!

More than anywhere else in

the United States.

There's probably been some

leak or something.

Probably poisoning the air.

There's a house over there.

Come on!

It could have been some terrorist

booby trap someone stepped on it...

- out in the field.

- A field in Bubble Town, Pennsylvania?

I don't know.

A toxin dissipates quickly in the air,

it has to be close to the field, not in it!

Here's one.

Plants have the chemistry

to do this.

They release cotransporters

into the air.

- You think it could be plants?

- I don't know.

But if it is, and people

are setting it off in groups...

we need to go to the least

populated place to be safe.

We can't walk to the boarders when

this is happening, Alma. It's too far.

Whatever it is... terrorists,

a nuclear leak, plants...

it's probably safe to get

away from people right now.

This must be Arundell.

It's 10 miles from here.

Okay, this place must have

a bathroom.

I'm going to take Jess and

we can leave.

Hurry.

Hello.

My name is Elliot Moore.

I'm just going to talk in a very positive

manner, giving off good vibes.

We're just here to use the bathroom,

and we're just going to leave.

I hope that's okay.

Plastic.

I'm talking to a plastic plant.

I'm still doing it.

You guys are ready to leave?

This people must have left in a hurry,

leaving the front door unlocked.

Hey, everything's fake!

- Why is this happening?

- I don't know for sure, Josh.

But I read this article about

the coast of Australia.

They said they found large

quantities of a primordial bacteria...

and hadn't been around for billions

of years, they just appeared in the water.

It's toxic to humans, fishermen

that are in contact with it are dying...

It feels kind of similar to that.

With the bees disappearing,

I don't know, feels like a pattern.

Nature events like the one in

Australia crested and stop.

We just have to be alive

when it's over.

I don't believe it's nature.

May not be. It could be

some other explanation.

Let's go.

There are people coming!

We can't stay here.

It's close to the roads.

More and more people

will come here.

Is two groups coming together.

There's too many of them

together!

Run!

- Is she your kid?

- No.

- Got kids?

- No.

How come?

You got... a problem?

- No. She wanted to wait.

- Really? For what?

For me to grow up.

Why are we talking about this?

I used to love this.

Can I see it?

You need to take a personal

responsibility in a relationship.

- That will make a difference.

- Okay, thank you!

Hey, that's not a toy.

It got meaning to me.

Elliot, look!

Come on!

Emergency broadcast:

All those who are still inside

the affected area of the North East...

are asked to procede to the

police borders.

Come on!

This is an emergency broadcast.

...inside the affected area...

Jess needs a ten minutes

rest and some food.

Are you sure?

We should keep going.

I know, but she's only eight.

What?

If we're going to die,

I want you to know something.

I was in the pharmacy

a while ago.

There was a really good-looking

pharmacist behind the counter.

Really good-looking.

I went up and asked her

where the cough syrup was.

I didn't even have a cough,

and I almost bought it.

I'm talking about a completely

superfluous bottle of cough syrup...

which costs like six bucks.

Are you joking?

Thank you.

- Maybe that's not a good idea.

- I told her just for a minute.

Mr. Moore, I think I can

open this door.

Wait, we're a gang now?

We'll take whatever we want?

Come on, guys.

Nobody's home. We're just going

to take some food for Jess.

It looks like nobody lives

here for a long time, anyway.

It's all boarded up.

Maybe we could leave

some money.

What kind of tree is this?

I think it's a mapple.

Not so high.

Okay, Josh. Open the door.

Wait!

I see something.

- There's somebody in there!

- Are you sure?

Yeah, I saw a move.

I see him!

Let's stop.

Could we get some food?

We have a little girl.

We just want to get her some food.

Best leave now.

You ain't going to bring

that poison gas with it.

Sir, it's not poison gas.

It's not out here.

They said to stay inside.

We're fine right now.

Nothing happened out here yet.

You can see that.

Just listen to our voices.

We're perfectly normal.

Old black water,

keep on rollin

Mississippi moon,

wont you keep on shinin on me

See? We're normal.

You ain't from around here.

You best leave now.

Okay. It's not worted.

Open the door, b*tch!

Hey, Josh, don't do that.

He didn't mean that.

- There's more than one in there.

- Jess!

Jess, come here.

Stop it! Listen, we just want some

food for a little girl, you pussies!

- Jess, come here.

- Josh, stop it.

Don't let that gas in here!

Sir, the air is fine out here right now,

you don't need to worry.

You could be with the terrorists!

I don't think it's terrorists, sir!

Josh, stop it!

They're being crazy, Mr. Morre.

Show your faces!

You won't let the gas in!

No!

Jared!

We are going to get out

of this nightmare.

Elliot...

We have to go!

We have to protect Jess!

You've got until three to

get out of our porch!

No new people have crossed

over the border for a few hours.

It appears those residents that are still

in the affected area of the North East...

are trying to wait it out.

We have Professor Kendel Wallace,

from Carnegie Mellon with us.

Professor,

what can you tell us?

Calculating by the rise

and intensity...

of reports of incidents within

the affected area...

on a timetable, the incident

is rising in sensitivity.

Fewer and fewer people

can provoque the attacks.

The event should be at it's most

sensitive tomorrow morning.

Typically, this type of slopes

drop precipitasly after cresting...

meaning it can end suddenly

at any moment.

Of course, this are only

probabilities.

There are rumblings that the

Government may be involved...

in the tragic event played

in the North East.

Now, this rumors has been fueled by the

statement of a confidential informant...

who claims that the CIA

has facilities in the North East...

where they were testing drugs

with some similar psychotrope properties...

as a defence against

chemical weapons.

CIA and White House officials have

declined to respond to this accusations.

Perimeters have been set

all along the East Coast...

from Maryland, all the way

to Massachusetts.

This house has no power

going to it.

Nobody has driven on this

driveway for a long time either.
