A Feral World (2020) - full transcript

An orphaned boy in a post-apocalyptic world, meets a grieving woman who is trying to find her lost daughter. Their journey leads them face-to-face with a despot who may have the daughter held captive.

Show yourself.

Let me see your hands.

Both of 'em.

I wasn't going to use it.

I can't hear you.

I said,

I wasn't going to use it.

Good to know.

Now, put it away.

Lips, quiet.

You alone?

You telling me the truth?

What's your name?

Sonny.

Well, Sonny, my name is Emma.

Got any other weapons?

No.

You hungry?

You look hungry.

Have a seat.

Squirrel jerky.

It's not as bad as it sounds.

Does that dog bite?

That's Lips.

And he only bites

if I tell him to.

Lips?

Why do you call him that?

My daughter named him.

You'd have to ask her.

But you can't.

Lips.

Check him out.

If you scratch him behind his left

ear, he might love you for life.

- Something wrong with your teeth?

- Yeah.

Let me see.

It's okay.

Hmm.

Yeah, it's looking pretty nasty

in there.

Those braces aren't helping

much either, are they?

No, I've been trying

to get them off.

I have a toothbrush you can use if

you wanna try and get the gunk out.

Would you eat that dog?

Dog, maybe.

Lips, never.

Not much meat on him anyway.

Kinda like you.

Where are we going?

It's not safe to stay put.

Not anymore.

So, where are we going?

We're gonna go see a guy I know

who used to be a dentist.

At least I think he was.

He might be able to help you

with your teeth.

That is if you want to.

Maybe I will.

Maybe I won't.

Hmm.

Suit yourself.

Come on, Lips.

♪ Row, row your boat

Gently down the stream ♪

♪ Merrily, merrily

Merrily, merrily ♪

♪ Life is but a dream ♪

Scream!

We never know

who could be near, do we?

Okay.

Don't drink that.

You need to boil it first.

We're gonna need some firewood.

Go and put this to good use.

I gotta say somethin'.

Say it.

You smell pretty bad.

That's rich coming from a feral

kid that smells like ass.

I don't smell.

Oh, honey, you do.

But don't take it personal,

everybody smells bad these days.

Hey, there's another one.

Oh! Die!

- What does feral mean?

- Just like that.

It means us on our bad days.

Good boy, Lips.

Sorry, Mr. Rabbit.

Wrong time, wrong place.

You didn't say he could hunt.

Bring your knife,

I'll show you how to skin it.

Do I have to?

Yeah, you do.

Where are you going?

I'm going to pee. I mean,

if that's all right with you.

Don't go too far.

How far is far?

Geez.

Shut that dog up.

Lips.

What do you want?

You got food, you got fire.

What more can a man want?

What do you say, missy?

Sorry. I'm feelin' antisocial.

Move on now.

Think about it.

You're gonna take

the both of us?

You are gonna die, you bitch!

Emma. Emma.

Emma!

Emma, I got blood on my hands.

Emma, I have blood on my hands.

It's okay, it's okay.

Let me see.

Come here, come here.

It's okay, it's okay.

We're gonna be okay.

Okay?

Goddammit, quit moving.

It'll hurt a whole hell of a

lot less if you just sit still.

Fucking piece of shit.

Hey, hey.

Sonny, what the hell?

He lied,

he said it wouldn't hurt.

He's trying to help you.

Yeah, then why was he laughing?

Was I laughing?

Yes, you were.

That tooth should come out,

along with the braces.

Not a chance, dickweed.

That tooth can get a whole

lot worse, Sonny-boy.

You know, I'm sorry about Janey.

She was a good kid.

Is that your daughter?

Well, what did happen to her?

She's gone.

What do you mean gone?

Do you think

she could still be alive?

I cannot talk about it.

I cannot.

I see you still got

that little dog of hers.

It is truly amazing

that thing is still moving.

He's not a thing,

and his name is Lips.

Yeah, right, Lips.

Fast little rodent as I recall.

Leave him alone, asswipe.

Enough!

Rodent.

Come on, Lips.

Emma, I think we should

head back south.

Emma?

Sonny, why are...

Oh, Sonny.

Hm, did you say something?

- Go back to sleep.

- Alright.

Hey.

Raoul and I have, uh,

we have history.

We were friends from before.

Whatever.

It's none of my business.

I just can't believe we came

all this way for that guy.

He knows what he's doing,

believe it or not.

Something up? Is someone coming?

Well, I'm gonna go

make breakfast. Ow.

History, huh?

I hope your mouth hurts.

I think we should

head back south.

South, why?

That's our best bet

where Janey could be.

Why do you say that?

Well, there's more people

down there.

People. You ought to know by now

that people are best to be avoided.

I just think that if she's

alive, maybe we could find her.

I know you wanna help me

find Janey,

and I want that

more than anything.

We don't even know

where to look.

Were you looking for her

when you found me?

Someone told me they saw a girl

by the tower where we first met.

They described her and it sounded

close enough to take a chance.

I was hoping Lips

might lead me to her.

At least I found you.

Lips!

Lips isn't back.

We need to go find him.

Sonny, he'll come back.

But what if he doesn't?

What if someone takes him or kills him?

It could happen.

Not helping.

- He'll come back. He always does.

- Fine, I'll do this on my own.

So maybe you wanna come help?

Help with what? Get killed?

No, I'm good.

What about breakfast?

Goddammit, Sonny.

Lips.

Lips.

You here by yourself?

I'm with them.

I'm looking for my dog.

Have you seen a dog?

Stay away from him!

They're on the second floor.

Don't let them see you.

Mom, I'm scared.

I was just looking for my dog.

I wasn't going to hurt him.

Shut up.

Where are we going?

Getting inside

before your people come.

What people?

I'm alone. I told you,

I was just looking for my dog.

So, what's the deal

with the rhino head?

She wears it all the time.

It's who I am now.

You're a rhino?

Well, it scared

the piss outta me.

Pissy piss-piss.

Where did you find him?

He was by the Smith family.

Can we keep him?

Keep me?

I'm not gonna be your pet.

Don't worry about it.

I got this under control.

Move backward.

My name is Melanie

and you may not call me Mel.

What?

What?

What's your name?

Sonny.

I'm Oscar.

- That's Maddy.

- Nice to meet you.

Is that your toy?

It's my telescope.

It's a tool.

I don't think I can eat that.

It's edible. Eat it.

No, I can't.

My mouth is all

messed up because of the braces.

Yeah, I know about that.

You know,

I was really looking for my dog.

No, that's what we don't know.

We don't know who you're with.

I told you, I'm alone.

Only the dead are alone.

The hanging people aren't alone.

That's not what she means.

Well, then what does she mean?

I mean, that he could have

people nearby.

People who could hurt us.

He's just looking for his dog

and I like him.

See, he gets it.

I don't believe him.

So, what are you gonna do,

cook me up?

Could certainly solve

our problem.

Very funny.

There's nothing funny here.

Just stop talking.

All right, all right.

Do you live here?

Not here.

Over there.

Don't talk to her.

You shouldn't have come here.

You need to go. Now!

I'm looking for my friend.

A boy about your age.

You mean Sonny?

Oscar, quiet.

Have you seen him?

He's in jail.

Please, let me see him.

Can I see him?

I'll take you, but if you touch

any of us, I'll brain you.

Noted.

Janey!

- Come out.

- We know you're in there.

Maybe they followed me,

I don't know.

What's the matter?

It's not your fault.

Come on out.

But we gotta get out of here.

What if they catch us or there's

another nano-strike thing?

All I know is that we're not

safe here anymore, okay?

We're better off

if we're on the move.

Okay, come here. Come here.

- It's gonna be okay.

- Mom.

I just wanna be friends.

Janey, Janey, Janey.

Come down, come down.

I got this.

Mom!

Mom!

Let go of her.

You okay?

Yes.

Didn't find Lips,

but uh, I found all them.

Who else is with you?

No one.

That's what he said.

She came looking for me.

I was alone.

Look, we're not the bad guys.

If you'll just let us go...

No, you'll tell the others

and they'll come.

I won't let anything happen

to these kids.

Janey, Janey.

Janey.

No, no.

No.

No!

Janey!

Hey, that's mine.

You know,

it'd be easy to get outta here.

I'll distract them

and you take Melanie out.

I won't hurt her. She's trying to

take care of these little ones.

She's batshit crazy

is what she is.

I came across that boy and she popped

out of nowhere dressed like a rhino.

She hit me with a bat.

Oh, and don't call her Mel.

Whatever the hell that's about.

You know,

you should have waited for me.

None of this would be happening.

Yeah, well, here we are.

Do you really have a dog?

Yes.

I was looking for him

when I found your brother.

He's not my brother.

What color is she? The dog?

He is grayish with white spots.

I used to have a dog. She was yellow.

Her name was Abbie.

What's your dog's name?

Lips.

Lips, that's funny.

I told you not to talk to them.

Her name is Janey, my daughter.

Have you seen that girl?

I once saw a man turn to glop

after a nano-strike.

Maddy, I told you not to talk.

Well, I did.

Glop, glop.

Have you seen her?

Please.

There is a guy,

he collects kids.

We got away from him.

She could be there, but for her

sake, I hope she's not.

Do you know his name?

Do you know

where I can find him?

We walked for weeks before we found

this place. So, I'm not really sure,

but it's west,

towards the mountains.

He goes by Jasper.

He's a terrible person.

Thank you.

For what?

Hope.

I think we should do something

for them.

Like what?

They have food, shelter.

Most importantly,

they have Melanie.

Hold on, I'll be right back.

Lips!

See, I told you

he always comes back.

Still need to get

your teeth fixed.

You can forget about it

if it's with your boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend.

Boyfriend.

He's not my boyfriend.

He sure is handsome and special.

Don't make me shoot you.

- You don't even have any bullets.

- Maybe I do, maybe I don't.

Whatever.

Okay, arms out.

Stand with your feet apart.

Well, not so close to your face.

Okay, line up the front sight

with the rear sight.

And squeeze the trigger.

Without any bullets,

this is pointless.

Maybe. We only have six left.

Just let me shoot one

to know what it feels like.

I see your point.

Arms straight out!

No way.

Oh, if I knew

that was all it took,

we could have done that

a long time ago.

How do you feel?

Like something's missing.

Like I got punched in the mouth.

Must have cracked the cement.

Emma, don't you ever just

wanna stay in one place?

I don't know

how to stop looking.

But thanks for sticking with me.

Where else would I go?

I don't know what hurts more,

my mouth or my feet.

These boots don't fit anymore.

We can get you some

better shoes.

That we can do.

Lips, get back.

Strange.

So, few around.

Keep your eyes open.

Scavengers, nearby.

The ones who follow him.

- Follow who?

- Jasper.

Emma, he knows Jasper.

You should drop the backpack.

Give me back my keys.

- I gave you your stuff.

- Who's that guy back there?

- He said something about Jasper.

- What?

What did he say?

Something about kids

scavenging for him.

You know Jasper?

Don't, don't, I need those.

I let people in and out.

I lock things up.

If I lose them,

he'll be real angry.

Jasper?

You got a name?

Eli.

Eli.

You are going to introduce us

to Jasper.

Jasper doesn't like strangers.

Though, he might like him.

Do you know a girl named Janey?

I know a Janey.

Is this her?

Maybe. Janey's older now.

Now, give me back my keys.

Take us, then you can have

your keys back.

Did Jasper do this?

Sort of.

Janey was there.

Grab his shoes.

The dead guy's shoes?

Yeah, he doesn't need 'em.

Just get 'em.

You know, Jasper might

just decide to kill you.

He's like that, you know?

Why would you stay

with this guy?

It's not so bad.

We bring him stuff

and in return, he gives us food.

You mean steal stuff?

What, you mean you've never taken

something that wasn't yours?

I just took your knife.

You'll see how it is

soon enough.

What's that supposed to mean?

Hey, Eli,

what are we walking into here?

Does he have guns?

Some, but he doesn't need 'em.

You can still turn back.

Just keep walking.

I am walking.

Can't you see that I'm walking?

This is it.

Can I have my keys now?

Take us in.

He'll be mad if he thinks

I brought a grownup in.

You're gonna have

to go in alone.

How do we manage that?

Go to the gate,

make an offering.

Him.

Now, give me back my keys.

Please.

Give him his keys.

An offering?

What's that all about?

This place is all kids.

You're a kid.

It's just the way he likes it.

It's a good thing

that's not creepy.

What about my knife?

I don't see any stuff.

So, now what?

Let's just sit

and watch for a while.

Do you really think Janey had

something to do with that guy?

I don't know.

Maybe he had it coming.

He just seemed like

a regular guy.

Did you ever think

you'd kill someone?

I guess not.

Maybe you should just use me

to get us in.

An offering or whatever.

I don't like it.

If it gets us in.

So, what's the plan then?

You just gonna wait for an opening

and storm the place

with five bullets and a hatchet?

- Look, if something happened to you...

- Janey may be in there.

We've been walking forever,

let's just play this out.

You know I love you, right?

Yeah.

Let's stash our stuff here.

- What about Lips?

- Let him roam.

He'll be better off.

Go on, Lips.

Be safe.

What do you want?

- We need to speak to Jasper.

- Who are you talking to?

Some lady and a boy.

Let me see.

How old is that boy?

I'm 13.

You can come in, but not her.

Sorry.

It's either both of us

or neither of us.

Jasper will wanna see the boy.

But not the grownup.

He'll be mad.

He'll be mad

if he gets away too.

I'm letting them in.

Eli, open the gate.

Got any weapons?

I have a knife.

Throw it over here.

I want it, it's mine.

It's mine, I'm giving it to him.

No way, it's mine. Let me.

I haven't given him

anything in a long time.

Move!

I'm taking it.

I hate your stupid face.

It doesn't matter.

We all get notches for giving him the boy.

Okay, Jasper?

Oh, yeah, follow me.

Is he nice to you?

Nice?

No.

Sometimes, but mostly not.

Do you like it here?

It's where we live.

Are these for me?

- I found them.

- You did not, we all did.

Stop.

Give each of yourselves

four notches in the book.

- Me first.

- Why are you first?

It doesn't matter.

- I wanna go.

- Move it.

- Stop, I'm going.

- Move!

- You must be Jasper.

- You're always first.

It doesn't matter. Stop!

Just mark the book and get out.

What the hell are you doing?

I am Jasper.

This is my home.

Now, who are you

and what do you want?

- I'm Emma and...

- Emma...

And this is Sonny.

Sonny, welcome, my child.

We've been looking for you

for a long time.

Really?

How flattering, do tell.

My daughter.

I lost my daughter, she was taken from

me and since you know so many kids,

I thought maybe you might know

where she's at.

I don't know kids.

I care for them.

They are my family.

Her name is Janey.

What do you know?

I happen to know a Janey.

Please, is she here?

Probably just a coincidence.

Janey!

We've got visitors.

Janey.

Baby, I found you.

Who said I was lost?

Baby.

Janey.

It's me.

What a touching moment.

Aren't you happy

to see your mommy?

Janey.

What have you done to her?

What have I done to her?

I saved her.

You took her from me.

That is unkind and untrue.

I never took anyone.

Then let her go.

Now!

Of course.

Baby.

Come here.

Janey, what's wrong with you?

You left me.

You left me!

It sounds like you left her.

No, I didn't.

He took you from me.

Again, with these accusations.

Go on, honey, go to your mommy.

I said, go!

Now, show her the woman

you've become.

Uh... What?

Kids these days. I tell ya.

What the hell is wrong with you?

This is your mother.

We came all this way for you?

Now, now, best to just stay out

of mother-daughter spats.

Wanna be friends?

No, I don't.

Take him and explain the rules.

Hey!

- I'm gonna kill you...

- Oh, that time has passed.

What are you doing?

Hold still.

I guess today is my day

to show you the ropes.

Janey, stay close to your mom.

Baby, I am so sorry.

Please, hug me.

What the fuck is your problem?

When's the last time

you had a meal like this?

Go on, eat up.

There's plenty more

where that came from.

- This doesn't change anything.

- It changes your hunger level.

- So, what's the catch?

- No catch.

You just have to earn it.

Sounds like a catch.

All you have to do

is dig around out there

and find stuff

for mean old Jasper.

Stuff?

Food, electronics, weapons.

I'll pass.

No!

It's not that bad.

- No, please.

- We all have one.

Stop moving!

So, what's to stop me

from leaving?

Emma, maybe.

And this.

You'll come around.

They all do.

No.

- No!

- Is that kid coming around too?

You betcha.

Go.

Don't look so sad.

Your baby's alive after all.

I'm not really sure

what I should do with you.

Oh, good news.

I got you a present.

Here, put this on.

You're welcome.

What happened to her?

Janey?

You know, people change.

It was you.

You took her.

Took her, no.

I fed her.

Taught her to defend herself.

Where were you?

I remember the tattoo.

And I'm taking her with me.

No, you're not.

Every one of my kids are with me

because they wanna be.

Look around.

- They're better off with me.

- Then why just kids?

They're our future.

They bring the resources I need

to keep all this together.

I'm just their advocate.

Advocate?

That's what you're calling it?

See this?

I've been able to harness

my own little swarm.

They're mine.

This is why these kids are safe.

This is why Janey is alive.

You can't control those things.

You're wrong.

I know them,

I helped design them.

Ever wonder what these

little guys look like?

One is harmless.

But as a swarm, they can devour

any biological material.

Non biologics

pretty effectively, too.

But, then,

you know that already.

Not what you expected?

Here, watch this.

I don't have as much control

as the entity,

but I can still do

all sorts of fun things.

You're insane.

No, I'm not.

This makes you mine.

Just like Janey is mine.

And, of course, there's Sonny.

Here, sit.

You look like you need to sit.

Okay.

I'll give you some time

to regroup.

Give me your hand.

- What are you gonna propose?

- Give me your hand.

You try to break this off,

it activates. You die.

Now you're his dog.

Like Lips?

Oh, so you do remember your dog.

Well, he's my dog now.

Lips is still alive?

Where is he?

Out there.

You have no idea how long

we've been looking for you.

The first thing you do is slap

your mother in the face.

You don't know anything.

I know what I saw.

What's she to you?

She's my friend.

Your friend?

Well, don't be surprised

when she abandons you.

Show me the dog, dog.

Eli, open the gate.

- Better not hurt him.

- I'm not gonna hurt him.

Did you leave him tied up?

No, he stays near me and Emma.

He hunts, he hides.

Lips.

Lips.

He's around here somewhere.

He hunts, really?

Yeah, he does.

Things change.

Emma told me you named him Lips.

How come?

When he was a puppy, he used to

wake me up by licking my lips.

The name stuck.

Hey, those are ours.

Were yours.

Score, Jasper will like this.

There he is.

Lips, it's me, Janey.

He's afraid of me.

What do you know?

He doesn't like psychopaths.

Lips, puppy,

wanna come home with me?

Jasper don't like dogs.

Unless they're in soup.

Leave him out here.

He's better off.

He's right.

No, we're bringing him.

He's my dog.

Actually,

he's sorta my dog now, but...

No, he isn't.

He's coming with me.

Really,

you should leave him out here.

He stays near me and Emma.

You can come out and see him.

Asshole.

Jasper, look, I found an ax.

Sorry, sorry.

Lips, why are you here?

I tried to leave him

out there, but...

What is this?

That's my dog

from when I was little.

Janey, a dog in my space?

This is unacceptable.

It's just a little dog.

I'll keep him away.

Then why is it here now?

My mistake, I'll take him away.

Wait.

Are you telling me that this is that

same little dog that you had years ago?

Yes.

No kidding.

What are the chances?

Bring it here.

Please, he's my dog from before.

Bring it here.

He's harmless.

Do not make me say it again,

honey.

Hello.

Oh, this dog is barely a dog.

It'd be more like eating

a pigeon, don't you think?

Oh, come here.

- Good boy, good boy...

- Please, Jasper, I'll do whatever you want.

I told her we

should've left him outside.

Janey, I'd back away

if I were you.

- No, I won't.

- Oh, I think you will.

It's just a mistake,

I'm bringing him back outside.

Janey,

do not release that animal.

- There's no reason to do this.

- Janey!

Last chance.

Baby, do what he says.

It's Lips.

Stop!

- Stop! Make it stop.

- No. I'm sorry.

Oh, Janey, it's not.

No.

- It's all my fault.

- It's not, it's not.

- It's my fault. I'm sorry, mom.

- Oh, baby.

How cool was that?

What the fuck is wrong with you?

I will, I will kill you.

Oh, I highly doubt that.

Get off of her!

Leave her alone!

She's my mother!

Okay. Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Okay, Janey. Janey, okay.

What?

Did I cross a line?

Okay.

Listen, I'll forgive your

outburst and I won't kill her...

...but she leaves now.

- I'm not leaving without them.

- No?

Okay, well, what about that,

huh?

And what about Sonny? Hm?

No? Okay.

Okay, just stop, stop, stop,

stop, stop. Stop. Stop.

I'll go.

I'll go.

But you have to leave them

alone.

- Baby...

- No!

Leave.

Baby, be strong.

This isn't over.

Bye, bye, Emma.

Oh, and, hey...

If you come back, I liquefy

Sonny and then I liquefy you.

Got it?

Okay.

Sonny, I'll forgive you

for the hatchet because of that.

But you're gonna have

to make up for it.

Clean up your dog.

Fuck off!

Huh.

Okay.

Eli.

Eli!

Get in here with a mop.

Or maybe a shovel.

You know what? Bring both.

Hey, you shouldn't be here.

What is this place?

You need to leave.

I got this.

Can you read?

Yeah, I can read.

And you read the words

no trespassing?

I must have missed that.

Look, I just saw all these kids and

thought there might be some food around.

Oh, I see, and you decided

to hop my fence.

Sort of. I didn't mean no harm.

You didn't mean any harm.

Okay.

Look, I'll just leave.

Just wait one second.

Oh, oh, no, no, no, no, no!

Stop it!

Scavenge.

Do you ever think

about your life before?

Sometimes, why?

Just curious.

What was it like?

I lived in a palace

in the clouds.

It was the suburb.

I forget the name. House,

school, barbecues, sledding.

It was nice. Safe.

Brothers?

Sisters?

I had a little brother.

Yeah, what was his name?

Jacob, Jake.

He used to really bug me.

Parents?

Had those too.

What happened to them?

What do you think

happened to them?

Sonny, wait.

I was just making

a conversation.

I know, forget it.

Let's leave some food for Emma.

She's gonna get us killed.

Did you not just see

what he did?

Exactly my point.

Emma's plan is reckless.

I say we just keep bringing him stuff.

Maybe he'll get sick and die.

It's a better plan,

it really is.

He's not gonna stop.

He likes being king.

Let's go to her camp.

One of us should head back.

I'll see her another day.

Don't go in the gate without me.

Janey.

Hey, handsome.

You scared the hell out of me.

You really need to be more aware

of your surroundings.

I thought I was.

You just went all ninja on me.

I brought you some stuff.

This stuff will rot your teeth.

Still with the teeth. You really

oughta let it go. Just have some soda.

What happened to your leg?

I cut it on some rebar.

- How's Janey?

- She's okay.

Still getting up in my face

about the plan.

Is Jasper still bothering her?

I don't think so.

He's been busy with his toys.

I've been keeping an eye on her.

- I bet you have.

- It's not like that.

I'm just looking out for her

like you asked me to.

Has he used his bugs recently?

He just killed some guy for

wandering around the compound.

Not with the swarm though.

It was awful.

I just need you and Janey and

those kids to be free of him.

And then we'll all

be together, right?

Yes.

But promise me,

if anything happens,

that you and Janey will stick

together, protect one another.

I can't wait to see

the look on his face.

Promise me.

Emma, you don't know half

of all he does.

- Say it.

- Fine, we'll stick together.

Okay.

Two days.

Around noon.

Look out for me

at the front gate.

Okay.

Was she there?

Yeah, she wants to do it

in two days.

This is gonna go bad.

- Did you find any good stuff?

- Mind your own business.

- This is my business.

- Oh, what, no dogs?

What are you doing

hanging out with this loser?

You should come by later.

Hey, Eli, I was wondering.

Is your ass jealous of all the

shit that comes out of your mouth?

Very funny, fuckwit.

- That was pretty good.

- I've been saving that one.

For crying out loud, what is it?

It's me and Sonny.

We found some stuff.

Your timing sucks.

Okay, come in.

Well, what did you bring me?

Circuit boards, food.

I found a wrench.

You interrupted me for a wrench?

There's food here too

and some blankets.

Blankets, I don't need blankets.

Give 'em to the little kids.

Let me see those circuit boards.

What's with the outfit?

I went outside the fence,

it's practical.

Practical?

So, what,

are you two a pair now?

We went salvaging together,

for you.

Together.

Just checking the power level.

These, I can use.

Nice work, Janey.

See these? These are good.

Let me see that wrench.

Please.

- Looks like it's malfunctioning.

- What?

Then why am I still alive?

They know the difference between

power drain and tampering.

They know?

I could have just left here

for good.

You just don't get it, do you?

I know you don't believe it

but you are safer here with me.

I wanna talk to him alone.

You need to make some

adjustments to your attitude.

Gee, maniac dad,

thanks for the life lesson.

This dynamic between us

really isn't working for me.

Maybe I should give you

more responsibility.

Jasper, how many people

have you killed?

What did you say?

I know of at least four.

I'm just wondering how it is you

think I'm safer here with you.

You, brazen little fuck.

I should let you go. Let you get

slaughtered and eaten by some vagrant.

You're still just a boy.

Well, maybe I should just let

all the kids loose.

See what happens, you know?

We've had a pretty good run.

But that's not who I am.

Today, now,

is our new beginning, okay?

And if not,

the question before us is,

would the death of one mouthy

teen change anything?

Now take your wrench

and get the fuck outta here.

- You're hurt.

- I'll be okay.

I can get you some

medical supplies.

No, I don't wanna get you

in trouble.

- It won't, I'll go get it.

- No.

I don't want you to risk it.

What did you do to your leg?

It was a stupid mistake.

Janey, I...

I wanted to tell you.

After you were taken,

I looked for you everywhere.

Every day.

I blame myself

for being unprepared.

It wasn't your fault.

It was Jasper.

He lied and told me

it was your idea.

Said that he could protect me

better, so you gave me up.

I didn't wanna believe it

but I was little.

I feel like I failed you.

Can you ever forgive me?

You're my mom.

Of course, I forgive you.

Thank you.

I think he's been lying

about the bracelets.

Mine was offline and the bugs

didn't come for me.

Remember the kid

that tried to take his off?

Yeah, but did you actually

see him mess with it?

We just saw him afterwards.

It's not worth the risk.

Well, soon it won't be an issue.

Hey, I wanted to say thanks,

for coming to save me back then.

You didn't even know me.

It was mostly Emma.

I was just keeping her company.

But you came just the same.

She's here.

Who is it?

It's Janey.

I'm in the middle of something.

What is it?

My mom, Emma, she's at the gate.

Emma's here?

Wow. The balls on her.

What does she want?

I don't know,

but please, don't hurt her.

Ah, she knows the rules.

Please let me talk to her.

I'll get her to leave.

You shouldn't be here.

I need to talk to him.

I have something.

A peace offering.

Please, you need to leave.

I have to talk to him.

I thought I was clear.

Yet here you are.

I know.

But I had to see my kids.

You've broken the one rule.

You're here.

I stayed away a long time.

I brought something for you.

Please.

You know how this has to go.

Janey, Janey, Janey.

After all

that we've been through.

They're coming now.

Better say your goodbyes.

Ah, they're gathering now.

Seeking out their target.

Janey, move!

Huh. You little shit!

No, no, no!

No, no, no, no!

You found her.

We did.

Jasper?

He's gone.

Good.

Is it alright if we stay here?

It's fine by me.

Sure.
