War of the Worlds Page #2

I don't know.

Is Robbie okay?

Are you okay?

Where's the thunder?

Why won't it stop?

Is it over?

Where are you going?

Just... I'm just checking things out.

Just wait... Wait there.

- Are we gonna be okay?

- I don't know.

- You don't know?

- No, I meant, I just... Just...

Rachel, please.

Just stop asking so many questions.

Just wait here.

Turn everything off.

Everything is off.

I can't get one freaking thing

to turn on.

You believe this, Ray?

Every single car.

Oh, Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus.

- The car just stopped, and...

- You're okay?

- Are you okay? You all right?

- The lightning started to hit.

- And me and this other guy...

- Where the hell did you go?

- Over on Lincoln Avenue.

- Lincoln Avenue?

- By the church.

- You saw the lightning?

Yeah, 26 times we counted,

over and over again.

The lightning started to hit.

It opened up this hole or something...

- Twenty-six times?

- Yeah.

- You're okay?

- Yeah.

Good. All right, well,

your sister is in the house,

and I want you to go in that house

and I want you to stay with her, okay?

The next time you take my car with

no driver's license and no permission,

I call the cops.

You better be there when I get back.

- Yeah.

- Robbie.

Manny, Manny.

Manny, what is it, dead?

All of them. Everything.

Look at this.

- The starter's fried.

- Lightning hit it?

Not even close.

I thought if I changed it...

- Any idea what's going on?

- I'm on my way to find out.

Try changing the solenoid.

It's probably fried.

Right, that's what I said.

I told you that. The solenoid.

Hey, they're saying all the

lightning struck down by the church.

What the hell is going on

around here?

- Let us through.

- Hey.

- Let us through here.

- Hey.

What up, Ray?

I should've known

you two were behind this.

Hey, God's pissed off at the

neighborhood, Raymond.

- I'll tell you that much.

- You see it?

- You got power where you are?

- Nope. Nothing.

It's the cars, though.

That's the thing.

Solar flare. That's what

this guy told me he heard.

- A solar flare?

- The sun shoots off big blobs of plasma.

They turn into solar flares.

It's the only thing that can kill

- all the electronic stuff.

- Can I tell you something?

The sun does not cause lightning.

- I'm telling you what that guy said.

- I understand,

but it just sounds dumb

when you say...

I never seen anything like this before.

That many strikes of lightning

in one spot?

- Is this the only place?

- Come on, put that down.

- You wanna step back, please?

- Step back.

- You're gonna fall in.

- Get back.

Back up, people.

People, back up back there.

Move back. Everybody back up.

Move back.

Move back.

- Is it hot?

- Back up.

- No.

- Back up.

- It's freezing.

- What is that?

Oh, wait. Move. You feel that?

- I feel that.

- Hey, Bobby, come check this out.

- You feel that?

- Feel that?

- Yeah, I feel that.

- What is it, the subway?

- There's no subway here.

- F train, maybe?

That can't be the water main.

There's nothing else down there.

- Water main doesn't run through here.

- Feel that?

There's something down there

and it's moving.

Everybody move back.

Whoa. Back it up. Come on.

Let's go.

Come on, folks. Back up.

Get back.

Help me out here. Get back.

- Go! Move!

- Everybody get out of the way!

Everyone back up!

Everyone clear the intersection!

Get out of the way! Back up!

Back up! Get out of the way!

- Forget it! Get back!

- Get the hell out of the street!

Move away!

Come on, we gotta

clear this area now!

That's my car!

Go, go.

Get the hell out of here!

Oh, my God!

Come on, people! Let's go!

Come on, back up!

Please! Move back!

Watch it!

Oh, my God.

Ray, no. Stay, man.

Just stay.

- Just stay back here. Stay back!

- Wow.

Come on.

What happened?

What's going on?

Dad, what's the matter?

What's all that stuff all over you?

- Ray.

- What's all this stuff?

Hello?

Ray?

We're leaving this house

in 60 seconds.

What? Why?

I have no idea what's going on.

All the food from the refrigerator

and the cupboard, put it in here.

- What's going on? Just tell me.

- Just do it.

- Rachel, sweetheart...

- Dad, you're really scaring me.

- I need you to get your suitcase,

- Dad.

The one that you brought,

and bring it to me, okay?

Can you just do that for me, darling?

Okay?

I don't think it's a fire.

- See? That looks like smoke to me.

- What's happening?

I can't tell you now.

We've only got about another minute.

Please.

Please.

- Just keep it down.

- Ray, I'm standing right beside you.

Can you please answer me?

Just get in the front seat, Robbie.

- Whose car is this?

- Just get in.

Whose car is this?

Hey. Hey, Ray.

You were absolutely right.

That is exact...

I had to change the solen...

Ray? Hey.

Hey, Ray? Ray.

Ray.

What...? Come on, open up.

Open the door, come on.

Open the door, Ray.

What are you...?

- Get in, Manny.

- You gotta get out of the car.

- Get in the car.

- It's not my car. It's not your car.

- Manny, Manny, shut up.

- Daddy's acting crazy.

You can't do this.

Guy's gonna come back and...

Manny, Manny,

I don't have time to...

You're busting my chops.

I got a shop to run.

- Manny, listen to me.

- No, Ray.

Get in, Manny, or you're gonna die.

- What do you mean?

- Okay.

All right, get out of the truck. I'm not

kidding now. Get out of the car, Ray.

I'm not gonna get in.

I'm not getting in.

- Manny, get in with us.

- I'm not gonna get in trouble.

- Look, I'm not fooling around...

- Close the door, Robbie. Close it.

Ray, bring the car back, Ray.

It's not my car.

Get down!

Get down, get down! Get down!

Is it the terrorists?

- Just get down. Get down! Get down!

- Holy sh*t!

- Where are we going?

- We gotta go.

We got, maybe, like,

the only working car around here.

- I'm not stopping until we're clear of it.

- Clear of what?

- We gotta go.

- What's going on?

- Look, you saw, we're under attack!

- By who?!

Who is attacking us?!

Rachel? Rachel,

you've gotta keep it down.

Rachel. Rachel. Shut up, Rachel.

- You're freaking her out!

- Look, I'm driving! Do something!

Okay, put them up, Rach.

Make the arms.

This space right here, this is yours.

This belongs to you, right?

- Yes.

- You're safe in your space.

- I'm safe.

- You're safe in your space.

Nothing can happen to you

in your space.

Okay. I'm gonna go to the front seat,

I'm gonna talk to Dad.

- No.

- I'll be 2 feet away.

- Okay.

- Will you hold my hand?

- Will you hold my hand?

- Yes.

- Are you gonna be okay?

- Yes.

I wanna know everything you know.

This...

This machine,

it crawled out of the ground,

started torching everything.

It was killing everybody.

What is it? Is it terrorists?

No, this came

from someplace else.

- What do you mean, like, Europe?

- No, Robbie, not like Europe!

That machine,

it was already buried.

Maybe it...

...it came down in the lightning storm.

- They came down in a lightning storm.
