Harold?

Yes?

Hi.

Hi.

Mmm.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Yes.

You seem tense.

Especially in your neck...

oh my God, so pent up.

Let me help you.

I want you to write exactly

how this makes you feel

in your little book.

Ashley, I think I better

start to get dinner ready.

Excuse me.

Why do you do that?

I don't know.

What?

I'm just having fun.

Don't tell me you've

never used your beauty

to get what you want.

Not like that.

Oh, I bet you could.

Maybe for Jack.

Jack has a wife, Ashley.

Where is she?

Trust me, he's not the type.

He's a man.

Is Jack here?

No, he's on the rounds.

Good.

Harold?

Harold's in the bathroom

releasing some pent up tension.

I need to talk to everyone.

Are you kidding me?

Until we're dead.

No one is gonna die

in this situation.

Oh, except for Meryl.

What's going on, guys?

Just talkin'.

About?

Well, go on, Jeffrey.

You had plenty to say when

Jack wasn't in the room.

Well, we've been stuck here

for who knows how long,

following your rules, and

we're still stuck here.

Nothing has changed,

except for the fact

that Meryl is dead.

You're still alive.

Now, I get it.

I understand.

You think you can lead this

group better than I can.

Think you can sail the ship better.

Well...

Be my guest.

'Cause it's not up to me.

You know, this is a democracy.

So, all those in favor of Jeffrey

leading the group from now on,

raise your hands.

Jeffrey, your vote counts as one

just like everybody else.

Okay.

One vote for Jeffrey.

All those in favor of things

staying the way they are,

which means that I'm in charge?

Okay, listen up.

What happened to

Meryl was terrible.

She didn't deserve it.

That I'm gonna keep doing

everything that I can

to make sure that we survive this,

just like I always have.

That's fine with me.

Excuse me.

Jeffrey?

I hope we're not gonna

have anymore problems.

Remember, Jack?

Remember.

Jack.

It's time, Jack.

Remember, Jack.

Jack.

Remember.

I always knew you were

full of sh*t, Jack.

Jeffrey, what are you doing here?

What am I doing here?

What are you doing here, Jack?

I thought this whole area was

supposed to be off limits.

But I guess the rules

don't apply to you.

Look, I can explain.

I don't need an explanation, Jack.

I just need everyone to know how

full of sh*t you really are.

What's the tire iron for, Jeffrey?

I don't have a gun, Jack.

Neither do I.

Jack, Jack, my leg!

Please help.

Jack.

They're coming.

Jack.

Jack, help me.

They're coming, Jack, help me.

Jack!

Jack, please.

Please, come help me.

Jack, please, please!

Hey, come back!

Please!

Jack!

Does anyone else know?

No.

Alright, well, good.

I mean, you don't want

everybody to f***ing panic.

Don't want to leave at once, right?

I mean, how f***ing

many times, man?

I know.

How many times do we have to...

You gotta keep those

things locked in there.

If you don't, I mean,

you're putting everyone,

everyone in f***ing danger, man.

But they're gonna ask

questions about Jeffrey.

F*** it.

Jeffrey was an a**hole, okay?

Just play dumb.

Do not let anyone know you had

anything to do with it, okay?

Keep them together.

Jack, please, please be

strong for the group, okay?

For the group.

Yeah, okay.

Okay.

Gone? What do you mean, gone?

It's like I said.

I went to check on him

this morning, I...

I wanted to apologize.

I felt like I was too harsh on him.

He wasn't in his room.

Couldn't find him on rounds.

So he just got up and left?

Unless you have another theory.

Well, aren't we gonna

go look for him?

It's too dangerous.

Creatures.

Those things took the body.

So they know we're in here.

I think the most important

thing right now

is we all have to stick together.

I've been thinking about

my sister lately.

In fact, it's all I seem

to be able to think about.

I didn't know you had a sister.

I don't tell too many people.

Emma.

Wow, she's beautiful.

Yeah.

So I gotta job and I

moved away from home

when Emma was six.

We still wrote letters

back and forth

and saw each other at Christmas

and on birthdays, but...

I feel like I missed it, you know?

All the moments.

When she started getting sick,

I kept telling myself

that she'd get better.

I kept thinking she'd be fine.

Bad things don't happen

to people like us.

But it was quick.

I talked my boss into

letting me go for 24 hours

because we were working on

this really important deal.

She was mostly gone by

the time I got there.

If I could do it all over again,

I would've never have

left in the first place.

When I said the best day of my life

was getting a promotion,

I lied.

I just couldn't think of

anything better to say.

Jack, my... my calculations, I...

I think we have enough

food for another week.

But I... maybe I can

stretch it to two weeks

if we... if we eat more

applesauce and peaches,

we can... we can...

sh*t.

I wanted to tell you before, Jack,

but I didn't because of

what happened to Meryl

and now with Jeffrey,

I just didn't wanna...

But, maybe it's a sign.

Sign of what?

For us to leave.

No, I'm not leaving.

We knew this would

happen eventually.

What are you gonna do, Jack?

It's important you guys

know that we're...

we're running out of food.

What do we do?

This building is massive.

There's gotta be another cafeteria

or storage locker or something.

No, we can't leave here.

That's why we didn't

go look for Jeffrey.

It's not safe.

Don't have a choice now.

We'll starve to death.

Then we go for it.

We pick our time,

then we make a run.

Near the blocked off areas

or at the east wing.

Harold and I can go.

We're in this together.

We all go.

Okay, alright.

Jenny, Harold, and I will go,

Ashley will stay back

and lock the doors.

What? No.

Someone has to stay

behind and lock the door.

Well, can't someone else do it?

I don't want to be alone

with those things.

Those things are out there, Ashley.

You'd be safer in here.

We don't have a choice, sweetheart.

You sure about this?

More hands means more food

in a shorter amount of time.

You know, Jenny, it's so dangerous.

I can take care of myself, Jack.

You're sweet, being so protective.

Not a lot of guys are like you.

Jack,

where's Jenny?

I don't know.

Jeffrey.

Go back to Ashley, I'll catch up.

Jenny.

Jeffrey.

Hello?

Where are they?

Jack?

That's Emma.

Where are they?

They're... here... here...

argh.

Are they out there?

Yeah.

Where's...

Jack, where's Jenny?

She ran away.

What?

Ran away.

It's just...

she just ran off.

I was tryin' to follow

her, I tried to chase her,

I couldn't find her.

Jack, you're gonna

drive yourself crazy

trying to figure it out.

I already feel crazy.

I just don't understand.

Having trouble keeping

things together.

I'm starting to see

things I can't explain.

I don't know if I'm

sleeping at all.

Jack, you gotta keep

your mind together, man.

None of it is real.

None of it is real.

Just keep it together, man.
