The Mansion Page #2

---

I'm tired

of being beat on

by people.

You come here

all the time.

[Man laughs]

[Woman screams]

You have been all warned

not to come.

Off the property now!

Get off now!

-You don't shut up.

-Get off--

[gunshots]

[Man laughs]

[Sniffles]

[Man]

sh*t.

Motherf***er.

I knew

it was bullshit.

God, I remember

when all this sh*t

fell apart.

Ain't nothing

left in us.

Nothing at all.

We're just animals.

There's nothing left here,

there's nothing.

We're just

f***ing animals.

Do it, p*ssy.

Go ahead, try and make

yourself a man.

Do it.

Do what you came for.

[Man giggles]

[Man]

okay.

-[Man laughs]

-Do it!

Do it!

Okay.

-[Smacks]

-[men gasp]

[Smacks]

Can me and Kyle

go outside in the back

and run around?

I don't know, sweetie.

Your dad's not here.

I'll be quiet.

Mom, please, mom.

Please.

Shh.

[Groans]

[Clanking]

[Grunts]

Keep an eye on birdie,

I'm gonna get my coat.

[Birdie coughs]

Jack says she's

been doing better.

Well, Jack's

in denial.

[Faint coughing]

Get inside.

Inside now.

What was she

doing outside?

It was

for a few minutes.

I don't care.

She doesn't go outside.

What's wrong

with you?

I can't trust you?

Birdie,

get upstairs.

Now!

Don't look at me

like I'm an a**hole.

I heard her

from a thousand

yards away.

Anyone else

in the area did too.

Calm down.

I'm calm.

[Jack]

when I'm not here,

you're their safety.

When I am gone,

you stick to the rules.

You don't go outside.

[Suspenseful music plays]

[Man on radio]

Terror.

You will know terror.

[Woman on radio]

He's in the house right now.

I know he's gonna kill me.

[Older woman on radio]

Just a moment, please.

[Woman on radio]

Call the police.

Call them now.

Now.

Help.

[Knocking on door]

[Woman on radio]

Did you hear that?

He's in the house.

He's in the house

right now--

[pounding]

[Groans]

[Pounding]

Stay here.

[Knocking]

We're sorry.

We can't help you.

We don't have anything

for you, pal. Okay?

So how 'bout

you f*** off,

unless you wanna

get shot?

Just a guy looking

for some food.

[Kyle]

birdie, did i

ever tell you

about the safari

i went on?

-Mm-hmm.

-i did?

Did I tell you

about the serengeti one?

I did. Mm.

Do you know where

the serengeti is?

-Tanz--

-Tanzania.

That's right.

Very good.

[Static on radio]

[Distorted voice

on the radio]

We just tuned in.

Birdie found it.

What do you

think it is?

[Jack sighs]

I don't know.

All right,

turn it off.

[Birdie]

why?

Batteries.

[Distorted chattering

on radio]

[Birdie]

are you going

to leave?

Yeah.

Where are you

gonna go?

I'm gonna go

meet my brother.

Where?

He lives in a house

with a bunch of people.

[Nell]

look, we're almost

out of inhalers.

We have maybe

three months left.

There's a bunch

of new subdivisions

on the other side

of the interstate.

I can scout out

some new areas.

Jack.

We should go

to decatur.

Decatur's bad news.

You don't know that.

I do know that.

There's nothing

out there.

[Russell]

back when everybody

was trying to get away...

Your dad ever explain

to you

what was going on?

The plague.

Yeah.

Who are those people?

[Kyle]

birdie's not

doing well,

her coughing's

getting worse.

I just feel like we're

running out of time here.

Daddy.

There's a man

standing outside.

-What are they doing?

-[Russell] They're watching us.

[Gun c*cks]

[Russell]

we need to leave.

We need to get

out of here.

-It's time to go.

-Go where?

[Birdie]

to his brother's house.

Why are you filling

her head with this sh*t?

It's not sh*t.

It's a pipe dream.

It's not

a pipe dream.

I told you, I don't want

you filling anyone's head

-with this bullshit.

-It's not bullshit.

[Jack]

you don't know

what is outside.

[Kyle]

Jack?

Got less

than a quarter

of a tank.

You could make it 140.

Maybe 150 miles,

if we're lucky.

If we can

get it running.

Where are we going?

[Jack]

we're going to canton.

We're gonna have

to go around the perimeter

of the city.

Should have

enough gas.

Just hope

the battery works.

Mom?

Come on, sweetie.

[Kyle]

Jack?

Nell, let's get

things packed.

Get the canned goods,

birdie's inhalers,

hats, blankets.

All right,

let's move.

Let's get our stuff

in the truck.

All right,

watch out, sweetie.

[Door knob rattles]

[Door knob rattles]

[Glass shatters]

-[Smacks]

-[screams]

[Pops]

[Gunshot]

Get the garage door.

When this thing starts

we're gonna have to get out

of here in a hurry.

[Engine sputters]

Come on.

[Engine sputters]

Please, come on.

[Engine sputters]

Get the other battery.

Where's my radio?

Sweetie, I don't know.

It's not that important

right now, we...

No, birdie.

Birdie.

Birdie,

come back there.

[Nell]

Jack.

What are you--

what are you doing?

Come on, let's go.

We gotta go, we gotta go.

Come on. Come on.

[Glass shatters]

Get down.

[Gunshots]

[Glass shatters]

[Gunshot]

[High-pitched ringing]

Go.

What's the matter?

You're not happy

to see me?

[Gunshot]

Okay, let's go.

[Crashing]

[Gunshot]

[Engine sputters]

Come on.

[Jack]

come on. God damn it.

Come on.

Okay.

-[Engine roars]

-Okay!

-Door.

-[groans]

-[Kyle] go Jack. Go.

-[Nell] He's in. He's in.

Let's go.

Let's go.

[Gunshots]

[Tires squeal]

F***.

[Kyle]

son of a b*tch.

How bad is it?

Son of a b*tch,

it's bad.

F***.

What's wrong

with Kyle?

No, no, no, no, no...

You gotta

keep going.

You gotta

keep going.

Just go.

F***.

How bad is it, Kyle?

It doesn't feel bad.

It doesn't feel bad.

[Russell]

do you feel like...

I don't know

what we can do, guys.

I mean, really.

We have no clean rags.

We have just...

[Russell]

we need alcohol.

[Jack]

i know. We gotta

find something.

[Russell]

god damn it all.

[Kyle]

look, let's just get

some place safe.

We'll figure it out.

[Tapping]

[Man]

how you guys doing?

[Jack]

just passing through.

About to leave.

-[Gun clicks]

-Hold on.

Give me all your food

or I'll blow

your f***ing face off.

Okay.

[Gun clicks]

You better put

that gun down.

Go on,

you little sh*t.

[Engine rumbles]

[Panting]

He's lost

a lot of blood.

We need to get him

some help.

[Groans]

[Coughing]

Inhales]

How are we doing

on fuel?

The back roads cost us

but we didn't have a choice.

Couldn't go

on the main roads.

So not good.

Our best bet,

is to go and meet up

with my brother.

We're not

going anywhere

until we figure out

what to do about that.

[Nell]

we have to do something

about that light.

I don't want to attract

unwanted visitors.

We can't carry him.

You go.

Take the truck.

Find your brother.

And then you come

back for us.

[Kyle]

no.

Everyone goes.

I'll wait here.

[Jack]

we stick together.

If we leave at dawn,

I'll send someone back

for Kyle.

No one's getting

left behind.

[Kyle]

you can't wait here.

You can come

back for me.

We already know

that's the only option.

Just... keep

yourself covered.

We'll be back

as soon as we can, okay?
