Impact Event (2018) - full transcript

The Roberts Meteor will be
in full view within the hour

as it passes between
the moon and the earth.

This is the closest an
encounter to an object

this size the planet
has ever experienced.

Initial concerns of impact
were highly misrepresented.

As with a meteor
of this magnitude,

an impact would almost
certainly be a global killer.

NASA and other space
agencies worldwide

were quick to put
to rest the rumors

of an impact event
and said, instead,

this would be a unique
opportunity to study



and see a meteor this close.

Uncle Ed.

Hi Jules.

What are you doin' up this late?

I'm going to watch
the comet fly by.

It's a meteor, possum.

Oh.

Ed?

Oh, it's almost four a.m.

What's happening?

I thought you'd be
watching the Roberts Meteor

pass by in all its glory.

Well, to tell you
the truth, my alarm

was about ready to go off.



Now, are you calling
just to wake me up?

I'm your alarm, Grandma.

I was going to wake you up.

All right, I know.

Now, what is it you need, Ed?

Gonna send
you some numbers.

I need some verification.

What kind of verification?

Trajectory.

Trajectory?

Well, here it is.

What trajectory
am I checking on?

A mega-cryo meteor.

Is that like the
Roberts Meteor?

Well, here's the Roberts Meteor.

Trajectory has already
been established.

So, what am I looking for?

Just double check the numbers.

They're not the same as NASA
has been giving out to us.

Well, where did you
get these calculations?

Could I help?

I'm really good at math.

I made some adjustments
to the size and mass.

I'm just not
following you, Ed.

We know it's been
getting smaller

and it's been losing mass
since it was first discovered.

It's also heating up because
it's getting closer to the sun.

And the ice is melting.

Exactly.

Look, based on the size
of Roberts at its point

of origin versus
its size on day 15,

versus its size today, I've
recalculated the trajectory.

You mean they have known
about this for three months?

Well, we could have
done something.

We can't dig deep enough.

So this is how the
world is going to end?

Yeah.

It's a global killer.

Full view for a few
hours and of course,

just as with any of the past
end of the world scenarios,

such as 2012 Mayan
calendar or the Y2K bug,

people around the
world are celebrating

their final day on Earth.

Now, let's hear how
some of those people

are spending their final hours.

Let's start with Hollywood
socialite, RJ Malone.

RJ, thanks for joining us.

Thank you very much.

Well, we all know about
your celebrity laden parties.

Is that what you'll
be doing tonight?

Well, I'll be
having a small soiree,

just a few hundred of
my very closest friends.

That's sounds
incredibly exciting, RJ.

And what can we
expect to be happening

at the Malone Villa tonight?

A party of
titanic proportions.

After all, we're all
going down with the ship.

Thank you, RJ,
now let's check in

with the rest of the world.

Well, I think I'm
gonna take my wife,

our dogs, a bunch of
alcohol and our guns out

and do some drinkin'
and shootin'.

What would I do with
my last day on Earth?

I wouldn't do
anything different.

There is no meteor.

It's a conspiracy.

The government's
just fucking with us.

My whole life
I've had to work,

long commutes,
back-breaking work.

So, what am I going to be
doing with my final day?

I'm going to live.

I don't know.

Probably spend it
with friends, family,

stockpiling drinks, food.

There's always a
chance you'll survive.

Drink your vodka

before your beer

and you're in the clear
to do whatever it is

you want to do before
the meteor hits

and if doesn't, I wake up
from a drunken stupor again.

It is a conspiracy.

The world ain't gonna end.

It's the fucking government

trying to scare us, that's all.

If the world were
to end tomorrow,

I would gather my
family and friends

and take them out for
a nice steak dinner

and pound some whiskey.

So, what am I going to do?

I'm gonna get up there,
I'm gonna bang my wife.

I'm gonna bang her so damn hard

she won't even know what hit her

and then I'm gonna
slit her throat

so she doesn't have to face it.

Greetings
citizens of the world.

Today marks the end of humanity.

We have been lied
to and deceived.

World governments have
conspired to hide the fact

that the Roberts Meteor
will collide with the earth,

bringing about an
extinction level event,

making the planet uninhabitable
for all forms of life.

This will be our final message.

The end game is now inevitable.

Farewell.

This is
Justice Outlaw calling out

to Haunted Forest.

Is anyone reading me, over.

This is
the Haunted Forest.

I read you loud and clear, over.

Copy that.

You all set over there, if
this turns into a long winter?

I think so, I hope so.

How are things
lookin' on your end?

Oh, we're doin' okay.

What are your
numbers comin' in at?

We're at five, maybe
a few more on the way.

Copy that, we're
maxed out here.

We got about 11.

We got some extended
family and lots of kids.

I hear ya.

Now, take care of those
kids, Outlaw, over.

Copy that.

Looks like the show's
about to begin.

I guess I'll see ya on the
other side of Armageddon.

Billy, where the
hell are ya, man?

Yo, get your ass up here.

I'm in the shithouse.

Just making sure
everything's ready

for the zombie apocalypse.

You're gonna miss all
the action, Billy boy.

We're gettin' ready
for the magic hour.

All right, Gordo.

I'm heading out now.

It's getting near 4:30.

When's this thing gonna happen?

Any minute now.

Social media is exploding.

It's happening up there,
Cass, in the real clouds,

not on your phone.

Where've you been?

Givin' some love to the
critters in the creep house?

I saved that for you, Gordo.

I was just makin'
sure everything works.

Who cares if the animatronics
are running right now?

I'm not worried about
the animatronics, Ida.

I'm worried about
the HVAC, the power,

water purification, air
filtration, sanitation.

Ain't there some kind of
potion and the bomb shelter?

It is a bomb shelter
and when the world ends

in a few hours, we're
gonna owe our lives

to Billy, and Grandpa
Hobb for saving our asses.

That's right.

No B.S., boys and girls.

Gramps built a 6,000 square
foot bomb shelter in the 50s.

The family always kept it goin'.

I did a few updates
over the last few months

when all this news came down.

Did you really
bring the supplies?

Sure, of course, four
duffel bags' worth.

I only see one, I see that.

That's the most important one.

The others are in my car.

What's in that one?

You know, soap,
shampoo, hand sanitizer,

first aid, medicine,
antibiotics,

and razors, lots
and lots of razors.

Gotta keep that
lid nice and smooth.

Even in the apocalypse,
it's important

to keep clean and look good.

What kind of
supplies did you bring?

You know, just the
basics, toilet paper,

tampons, paper towels,
plenty of clothes

and a few thousand
rounds of ammunition.

What kind of gun do you have?

I don't have a gun,
just a shit ton of ammo.

It's the new world order.

When the economy collapses,
money won't be worth a thing.

Ammo is gonna be
serious currency.

And seeds.

Why do we need seeds?

We're preparing for
a mass extinction.

Everything we're
lookin' at up here

could be dead this
time tomorrow,

covered in a
radioactive wasteland

and the darkness of dust
clouds that will kill

every living thing
on the surface.

So, seeds don't matter
if everybody's dead anyway.

We're going to live
in Billy's bomb shelter.

Haven't you guys been
listening to anything?

We can grow vegetables with
hydroponics, right Billy?

If we need to.

I didn't hook the system
up yet, but we have time,

if we survive.

Survive?

I thought the news
said we were fine.

Isn't that why we're out here?

Just watch the meteor pass by?

You haven't been listening
to anything I've been saying?

I've been preparing for
the end of the world.

Did you two guys bring anything?

Your bags?

Anything?

I brought beers, chips.

That's it?

We thought you were kidding.

I've been preparing
for the end of days

and you two brought
beer and chips?

Way to go.

Shouldn't even let you
guys in the shelter.

You're not going to let us in?

We'll die out here, Billy.

Wendi, you designed some
of the scariest things

in this haunt but I can't
believe how dense you can be.

Of course I'm gonna let you in.

Thank you.

Yeah, thank you, Billy.

So, are your mom and
dad coming out soon?

I told you to bring
Glenn and Cindy.

We have to go get them.

Straight to their house
and back, no pit stops.

There and back, that's it.

Don't even pack, no time.

Go!

There and back, you dumbasses!

There and back, that's it!

They won't make
it back if this happens.

Probably not.

They're going to
pack, and go shopping

and be incinerated in
the first shock wave.

Let's hope not.

I hope for a lot of
things to not happen,

but I'm pretty sure this will.

End of days.

It's scary to think about.

Terrifying.

Easier to make jokes about it

than to really consider
the possibilities.

There's still some time.

Anybody you two wanna invite?

Right now it's just
the three of us.

I drove everybody
away years ago.

So, it goes for a former addict.

You been better to me, Billy,

than any of my family ever was.

Always, Gordo, always.

Me, too, fellas.

I mean, ostracism never
treated me too well.

I'm looking at

family.

Three generations
of my family have been

working on this, waiting,

for this, I guess.

Sorry, I missed
the funeral, bud.

Never told you that.

You didn't have to.

I understand.

I'm sorry, too.

You were there, Cassie,
or did you forget?

Of course I didn't forget.

I loved your parents.

I'm just fucking
depressed right now.

I'm trying not to fall apart.

We're all feeling
the same way.

We just have different
ways of showing it.

This shelter of
yours, this Xanadu...

Oh, don't get confused.

This ain't no Shangri-La.

It's still a creepy
ass haunt down there,

it just happens to
be a haunted house

outfitted for survival.

I will take it.

I have never been looking
for paradise, anyway.

Tell me about our new home.

How are we gonna live for
two years without water?

We have water.

There's a 10,000 gallon
water reclamation tank

for starters, and a 5,000
gray water filtration system.

And we have a 900 gallon
water purification system

for everyday use and we
have two thousand-gallon

clean water storage tanks.

Hot showers and drinking
water at your fingertips.

How we set for power?

Oh, that's where
it gets exciting.

Mom and Dad prepared
for every possibility.

Then batteries, a
whole lot of batteries.

More
batteries than bullets.

I got a lot of bullets.

Pow pow, pow pow.

Me, too.

We have more batteries.

What else?

12-volt deep cycle batteries,

propane and natural
gas generators,

have some solar hooked up.

What's that rig your dad
was building in the barn?

It's a Co2 smokehouse.

What's that for?

Smokin' meats?

Naw, man.

My dad loved doing this
stuff, but he didn't ever

really believe that
we'd have a nuclear war,

or get hit by an asteroid.

He did think, however,
there was a damn good chance

of climate change ending it all.

That smokehouse was
his passion project.

So, what's the Co2
smokehouse, then?

It converts greenhouse
gases into energy.

Cleans up carbon dioxide.

That rig in there can
suck Co2 out of the air,

power our shelter and filter
fresh oxygen into the HVAC.

It's an amazing system.

He designed it.

Edison and a company
in Japan are, were,

working on ones big
enough to power cities.

Well, let's turn
that bad boy on.

Don't need it.

If a meteor hits, we'll
have to worry about

heat, radiation and fallout.

Who are you people?

Gramps and my dad
were certified geniuses.

My granddad worked with
Oppenheimer to develop

the first atomic bomb.

That's why this shelter
was so important to him.

My dad had a passion
for clean energy.

That Co2 smokehouse was
gonna be his magnum opus.

Maybe we should
turn it on, anyway,

you know, just in case.

Here it is, guys.

Someone from NASA is
making an announcement.

I speak on behalf
of not only NASA,

but the President
of the United States

and many other
world governments.

The Roberts Meteor
is coming into view

of half the world as I
deliver this message.

Now, initially we had
indicated that this object

would pass by the earth,
leaving us unharmed.

We lied.

We lied to all of you.

This is it.

We are done.

In approximately 28
minutes, the meteor

will enter the
earth's atmosphere.

Six minutes after that,
the Roberts Meteor

will collide with the earth
somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean,

in the southern
hemisphere between

the South American and
African continents.

I'm not sure what
kind of difference

this shelter is gonna make.

In the best case scenario,
our rockets will break apart

the meteor, lessening the
worldwide destruction.

In the worse case scenario,

the impact will
be felt worldwide.

The initial shockwave
will devastate most

of the southern hemisphere
and within eight hours,

the entire world will be
covered by a toxic cloud

of radioactive dust that will
not dissipate for many years.

This is really depressing.

While there will
initially be survivors,

temperatures will
continue to rise,

making it impossible
to live above,

or even below the surface.

Not even bacteria will survive.

We're all gonna die.

Let's go, time to
put this place on lockdown.

I'm petrified.

I don't know what to do.

That's not the news I
wanted to hear, Gordo,

but the news I heard says
we still have a chance.

NASA said bacteria
won't even survive.

They also said we
will survive the impact.

Let's focus on that for now.

I haven't even told ya the
half of what we have in here.

There's the air
filtration systems.

That's right, I said systems.

We have oxygen
tanks, hazmat suits,

emergency communications
and security cameras.

We're going camping folks,
and it's gonna be fun.

Oh, thank God.

Here's a nice surprise.

I didn't know if you were
gonna make it back, Ida.

Where's the rest of your family?

I brought all of our stuff.

You packed?

I told you not to pack.

Get them and get
back, that's it.

Where are they?

Just tell him, Ida.

They went shopping, Billy.

They wanted to contribute.

Didn't you watch the news?

Should I go get them?

No, goddammit, you're
staying right here.

And we're gonna
hope for the best.

What's happening on the news?

I mean, you know,
other than the obvious.

I don't know.

Let me turn up the sound.

Sorry it's not a little
more cozy in here.

Hey, I love this place.

The world has erupted in chaos
since the NASA announcement

just a short time ago.

We can only assume
the world was misled

to avoid exactly this
type of global reaction

for months, rather than minutes.

My parents, my sister.

They'll be here any
minute, Ida, okay?

Now, with the Roberts
Meteor about to penetrate

the earth's atmosphere,
will continue to broadcast

as long as we can
remain on the air.

We are now receiving reports
of bright, burning lights

as the meteor collides
with the atmosphere.

I'm told we have satellite
coverage of the event.

I'm not sure what's
occurring, exactly.

It just looks so bright.

We are receiving
unsubstantiated reports

from both the
military and NASA that

the atmosphere is causing the
meteor to melt and crumble.

We've lost our image.

We'll see if we
can find another.

World governments are
making united efforts

to launch missiles in
efforts to break apart

the meteor, as well.

We are hearing now
that the Roberts Meteor

has exploded upon
entering the atmosphere.

Now, the bulk of the
meteor has vaporized

or been shattered
into smaller pieces.

Thousands of smaller
rocks will likely

be impacting most of the planet.

Explosions have caused
electro-magnetic pulses, shutting

down communications in most
of the southern hemisphere.

We can expect a worldwide
power outage soon

that will disable
most electronics

and machine operated vehicles.

The shelter's been
reinforced to withstand pulses,

but let's be safe and
shut everything down

before the initial blow.

Start scanning channels
and see what you can find.

I'll turn everything else
off and check the doors.

We're going to be fine, right?

Strictly precautionary.

I'll turn it all back
on when the shock waves

are done from the
initial strikes.

Strikes?

More than one?

That's what they said, Ida.

One big one and thousands
of smaller ones.

Don't worry, we're ready.

We'll be fine.

A large solid rock has
emerged from the cloud,

and is still on a collision
course with the earth.

It is heading for
the Atlantic Ocean.

The impact will be devastating.

But perhaps not as bad
as originally indicated.

An enormous gaseous
cloud is filling

the southern part of the world

and it's spreading quickly.

Nothin'.

Don't quit.

Let me try.

I think maybe you're
going a little too fast.

Some type
of cloud is spreading.

I'm hearing, of
course, that it's toxic

radiation, maybe Co2.

What's the news?

Better than expected.

Sort of.

We're
watching this cloud rollin' in.

Looks like fog.

Comin' right at us.

Into the house.

There's no where
where we can hide.

That could be
Co2 melting away.

They said this meteor was a
giant mass of carbon dioxide.

Greenhouse gas.

I need to power up right away.

Take
care, take shelter.

Get underground.

Some people may still survive.

What's with
chemical warfare suit?

Are we about to get poisoned?

I need to turn
the smokehouse on.

Wait, you need to
go out to the barn?

We need that smokehouse
pumping fresh oxygen.

You were right, Gordo.

We should have
turned that thing on.

Wendi?

Billy, that you?

You're not lookin'
too hot there, hon.

We went to the
store to get supplies.

You should have
just come back.

I know, Billy, I know.

What happened?

We got some stuff,

but,

people had guns, knives, bats.

They just started
killing each other.

Where are your parents?

They got killed at the car.

I started running.

I had a big bag of
batteries, good ones.

I almost made it.

They shot me.

Took my batteries.

Are those my guts?

I don't know.

Am I going to die?

You're gonna be fine.

I'm gonna get you inside.

We're good, see?

Survived the first wave, impact.

What's next?

You were right.

The chatter's talking
about a giant Co2 cloud

and an electro-magnetic
pulses shutting down

the power grids.

Well, what
about radiation?

Dust clouds?

Sounds like they're comin'.

Most of the southern
hemisphere will be lost.

We'll get the fallout
the next few hours.

The air will remain
radioactive indefinitely,

but the dust should
settle in North America.

Well, that means
we'll have sunlight.

That's good.

We'll survive.

Others will survive.

There you are.

We've been looking
all over for you.

Hey guys, I found Ida.

We're just hanging
in the spinner.

Everything's fine.

Over, out.

I have no idea what I'm
supposed to say in this thing.

Here, this one's yours.

I need to find
Wendi and my parents.

I need to leave.

It's not safe right now, Ida.

None of us can leave.

They may
have gone back home.

I need to check on them.

You can't leave, Ida.

There's a fog outside and
it's filled with radiation.

And the air is unbreathable.

You've got
those suits, though.

Between the
Co2 and the radiation,

they won't be enough,
and this place is sealed.

You open a door right now,
you could kill all of us.

We have a
cellar at the house.

They're probably in there.

It's not like this place, but...

Keep them safe for a
little while, right?

Yeah, sure.

You have to...

I have to tell
you something, hon, and,

this isn't gonna be easy.

What is it, Billy?

They didn't make it.

Didn't make it?

What do you mean?

How do you know this?

We're alive, they
could be alive.

They're dead.

I'm sorry, Ida, I'm so sorry.

How do you know this?

Cassie, what's he talking about?

Listen to him, Ida.

I am so sorry.

They were ambushed
at the store.

They didn't make it out.

Who told you this?

Wendi.

It was Wendi.

Outside, well, where is she?

Let's get her in.

She was shot, bad.

She died.

No, she might still be alive.

I have to help her.

You can't.

She's dead.

I'm so sorry, Ida, I'm so sorry.

No, no, I
have to see her.

I have to see her.

Call Gordo,
block the exits.

We can't let her out.

Gordo.

Gordo!

Ida, stop!

Come on!

I'm on my way.

Ida, stop!

Ida, come back!

I'm at the emergency exit.

Copy that, stay put.

Gordo, she's heading your way.

Meet me in the shithouse, over.

It's okay, Ida.

Just stop running, all right?

Oh, you little bitch!

Goddammit, God.

What happened?

Son of bitch, she hit me.

Oh, God.

I'm okay, go, go!

If she opens anything
she should kill us all!

Ida, stop.

You open that door,
Ida, we all die.

You got a gun, Billy?

Did you shoot Wendi?

Of course not, but I can't
let you open that door.

I have to, Wendi
needs my help.

No, you don't.

We wait until the cloud drops,

then we go outside to
get her, you and me,

we'll bury your sister.

What about my parents?

I don't know.

We'll find them if we can.

They could still be alive.

They're not.

Wendi told me.

She saw.

You didn't see it.

You didn't see it,
they could be alive,

and they need me.

Wendi needs my help.

I can't let you
open that door, Ida.

You're going to shoot me?

Don't make me choose.

Well, you're going to have to.

I'm sorry, Billy.

Had to be done.

You weren't gonna do it, right?

No.

I tried, but, I couldn't.

There wasn't a choice, right?

That's what I had to do.

There wasn't a choice.

Holy, oh, fuck.

Why did you kill her?

She was a kid!

If she opened that
door, we'd all die

of radiation poisoning.

But did you have to kill her?

I shot her, not Billy.

Why didn't you
shoot her in the leg

or hold her or pick her
up or anything else?

There wasn't time!

I just pulled the trigger.

Been a long time since
I've killed someone.

What are you
doing there, Billy?

Billy?

Billy!

Had to make sure we're okay.

We're okay.

You're fine.

Had to make sure that the
bullet didn't go through

the door and that
radiation wasn't coming in.

You've got Ida's
brains on your hand.

Door stopped the bullet.

That's really fuckin' gross.

This is really far from okay.

I just killed Ida.

You had to.

I coulda shot her in
the leg, like you said.

Well, there wasn't enough time

and

you saved us, Gordon.

That's right.

You saved us, Gordo.

Oh, man.

Did I...

Just...

Hey, uh...

Ugh!

You just had Ida's
brains on your face.

I guess

it's just the three of us, now.

Humanity's only hope.

Well, if that's the
case, I think that

humanity dies with us, because,

I don't have any
intention of re-populating

the earth with
either one of you.

So, what do we do with her?

Can we leave her somewhere?

Bury her in the house?

No, she'll decompose,

stink up the place.

Bring disease and bugs,
rats or viruses survived.

What about the
cemetery or the sand pit

on the forest trail?

That's outside, out there.

I just killed Ida so she
wouldn't go out there.

We'll have to wait a few days,

for the dust to settle.

Then I can suit up, check
radiation and Co2 levels

and bury both of 'em, Wendi too.

What if it's longer?

What are we supposed to do
with the body in the meantime?

We have garbage bags.

We wrap her up.

I don't think
she'll fit in garbage bag.

So, are you saying,

we'd have to...

Yeah, we'd have to.

We just killed Ida
and now you're saying

we need to chop up her body
and put it in garbage bags?

Did the end of the world just
turn us into serial killers?

I can't easily carry two
bodies into the forest.

There has
got to be a better way.

We need to get
this mess cleaned up,

get rid of the body.

Do you have a better idea?

I thought your family was
prepared for everything?

What's the plan for a dead body?

Never had one.

The idea was to stay alive.

Fine.

I will get paper towels
and plastic bags,

but I will not chop Ida up.

I know, I'll do that.

Bring a lot of paper towels!

I brought these.

I don't know what you'll
be needing them for.

I won't be needing anything.

I thought of something else.

Oh really, what's that?

I have a wheel-barrel.

It's just outside
this door, actually.

Huh, that...

That's a much better idea.

Kind of obvious.

I wasn't
thinking straight.

None of us were.

And this is only
just starting.

We're gonna have to
keep each other sane.

We are in a haunted shithouse.

I guess sanity's never
been a high priority

around this place.

Kinda why I've
always loved it here.

Me, too.

Hey, Billy.

Yeah, Cassie?

Gordon said it
had been a long time

since he killed anyone.

Do you have any idea
what he meant by that?

Good old Gordo.

He was a tank gunner in Iraq.

Mowed down a lot of people.

Messed with his mind.

I guess he couldn't
handle all the killing,

got an early discharge.

Lost himself for a
while, ended up here.

I don't know what the
air is like out there,

but as long as we have
sunshine and rain,

we can survive a long time.

You sure about this?

It's time.

There may be radiation
but the dust has settled,

so fallout won't blow in.

We're past that now.

Explain
it to me again.

How do we keep the
air safe in here?

That room is built
to be an airlock.

The door got knocked
down a couple years ago.

So what
do we do, then?

Cover it with the
emergency blankets,

tape up the seams.

Should do the trick.

But what about you?

When I get back, I'll
wash down the suit,

check my levels,

when I'm clear,
I'll come back in.

And if you get
exposed to radiation,

are we just supposed
to let you die?

Radiation poisoning
doesn't work that way.

Co2 will kill ya quicker, but
if I do, we have potassium

iodine, helps to counteract
radiation poisoning.

All done.

Seams are nice and covered?

Sealed and tight.

We're good in here.

Now, get your ass out
there and get back

as fast as you can.

Yes, ma'am.

How's it looking?

As good as it can, I guess.

He's wheeling Ida out
into the forest now.

You see anything?

You mean other people?

A person, a bird, a
bug, shit, anything.

No.

It's quiet.

Just some wind.

He's gone now.

Outta sight.

What did he say
about the air toxidity?

You mean toxicity?

Yes, I do.

There's enough Co2 out there
to kill you within the hour.

What happened to you, Gordon?

Oh, wait.

You know what?

No, I shouldn't, it's
none of my business.

No, no, it's okay.

No, but I'm prying
and I just, I shouldn't.

Fine.

It was my rock bottom.

I was an addict.

Meth.

And heroin.

Stole from everybody I knew.

Wrecked a car.

I didn't kill anyone, but
I hurt a lady pretty bad.

I was going to
jail for six months

and I couldn't get clean.

So I locked myself in the
garage, started the car.

Oh, man.

But someone obviously saved you.

I mean, you're here.

Dumb luck.

Car ran out of gas.

There was nobody
left to save me.

Even after I got out of county,

everyone had
disassociated with me.

My parents had stopped
taking my calls long ago.

And my sister,

she made it clear
I was to stay away.

I was lost.

I got a job working
here six years ago.

And the people in this place

have been my family ever since.

Billy invited me here to the
end of the world, to help me.

My parents,

they didn't even
call to say goodbye.

This is my family.

It's a good family.

It has been.

What about radiology?

You mean radiation?

Yes, I do.

You would be bleeding
out of your ass

in ten minutes and dead
within the hour out there.

Really?

Yeah, really.

Mmm, that's not good, is it?

No, it's pretty terrible.

You would bleed, shit and
piss a horrible death.

Let's not do that.

Hey there.

This is Billy in the shithouse.

All clear now.

How did everything go?

As well as it could.

I'm tired, though.

Any radiation exposure?

I don't think so.

But if my hair starts falling
out, we'll know otherwise.

How do we know
if I got exposure?

Die, I guess.

Maybe you should take
some of these iodine tablets

just to be safe.

I thought about that, but,

I'd rather save those
when we need them.

The radiation is so high,
I'd be dyin' right now

if I was exposed.

I'm fine.

Really.

Let's make dinner.

We're gonna be safe here.

We're good.

The air is clean.

It's fresh.

Well.

The power's still on.

It's been seven months.

Why is this place
still operational?

It's a giant
bomb shelter, man.

It's built to last two years.

Self-sustaining.

Why did you leave, then?

Everyone was scared.

The meteor was supposed
to destroy everything.

Scorched earth, man.

Besides, we all wanted
to be with our families.

What about the prisoners?

We locked the
doors and we left.

You left all the
prisoners here to die?

Just the high risk ones.

Oh.

The worst ones?

I guess.

Are they dead?

They have to be.

Wasn't more than two
weeks worth of food.

So, what do you think?

Was I right?

I don't know.

Maybe.

I guess this place is
better than the hospital.

Yeah, clean air, man.

I haven't seen any bodies yet.

They're down
in the holding cells.

Let's go take a look.

We're gonna have to
clean up all these bodies

before we can live here.

Yeah.

I guess we can cart
'em down to the yard

a few at a time,

and burn 'em.

I am so tired
of burning bodies.

Me, too, but it's a
hell of a lot better

than burying 'em.

Yeah, I suppose you're right.

Looks like things got bloody.

Maybe they escaped.

Nah, that's not possible.

Look, a guard could
have let 'em go.

I suppose so, but nah.

Let's keep looking.

What's this?

Solitary confinement.

Looks like they've been
dragging the dead in here.

That's not a bad idea.

Keepin' the bodies from rottin'

and stinkin' the place up.

Human bodies don't
decompose this way.

Oh, they've been all cut up.

Dave, we have a
problem here, man.

This blood, it's not dry.

It's fresh!

Well, look at
what we got here.

Oh, shit.

That's right, Mr. Jailer.

It's good to see you.

We gave you a chance.

You gave us hell.

Who is this?

The worst of the worst,

that's who we are.

Stay put, Mr. Jailer man,

right there on your
hands and knees.

Hey, we're,

we're not here to
hurt anybody, okay?

We're just lookin' around.

Lookin' for the dead, right?

Well, we ain't dead, not yet.

Y'all stayin' at the hospital?

That's what they
been talkin' about.

Oxygen tanks and food.

How many folks you got
there at the hospital?

35, 40.

What is your name?

Raymond.

Well, Ruh Ray.

I don't believe Mr.
Prison man here.

Kill him dead, boys.

How do you like
that,?

Huh, how do you like that?

How many's really
in the hospital?

12.

Weapons?

Just a few guns.

Now, see?

That was easy, wasn't it?

I like you Ruh Ray.

I'm gonna let you live.

Thank you.

Git.

Get on in there.

I don't wanna go in there.

It's not exactly
a choice, Ruh Ray.

You go in there, or
you die out here.

You'll be all right
in there for a while.

There's plenty of water.

And plenty to eat.

You'll be fine, Ruh Ray.

Yum yum!

Let's get the others.

Freedom, boys.

Asshole!

Christ, you scared
the shit outta me!

Oh, I scared you.

You're the one sulking
around like a deranged clown.

Gotta pass the time somehow.

How bored are
we today, Gordon?

You seen Billy?

He was listening on the
radio last time I saw him.

Thanks.

I'm going to the boiler room.

Why?

Why not?

So, what's the
report for today?

Nothing new from
our government.

Same message we've
had since June.

This is Justice Outlaw.

Calling out to the
Haunted Forest.

Anyone home, over?

Howdy there, Outlaw.

Hey, let's talk in private.

Go to that secondary channel.

Copy that.

Raiders and scavengers
just passed us by.

And I think they're
headin' towards you.

That's too bad.

We're not all that well hidden.

Tell me what I need to know.

Two different groups.

They're geared up,
armed and dangerous.

ETA could be any time.

Thanks for the heads up.

You know what?

I could suit up and be
over there in an hour.

Steer clear.

Watch over those kids of yours.

We'll be fine.

I'll keep this channel open
if you need a hand, okay?

Over.

Copy
that, over and out.

What do we do?

I'll suit up, head
out and cut them off.

That could be dangerous.

Why don't we just wait
for them to come in here

and then we'll just, like,

scare the fuckin'
shit out of them?

That might not be a bad idea.

Get Gordo down here.

Okay.

I'll go out the
shithouse exit,

try to get them into the forest.

And what's Plan B?

What if it looks like
they're comin' in?

Then let 'em in.

Unlock the main door.

No need having some
asshole break it down

if they're coming in anyway.

That is not a
good plan, Billy.

No, not at all.

That's not the plan.

Just like you said, Cassie.

We'll scare the
shit out of them.

That shouldn't be a problem.

Are we supposed
to kill anyone?

I don't know.

If they're just scavengers
lookin' to loot,

then we just guide
them through the haunt.

If they're not scavengers?

Then they're probably
lookin' to take what's ours.

This is our home.

We defend it.

You two comfortable with that?

I guess I'm dressed
for the occasion.

That you are, bud.

Door's open.

If I can't lead 'em
away, I'll lead 'em in.

Hey, survivor, we're friends.

Let's talk.

Keep walking, then, friend.

We're looking for food
and a place to rest.

Maybe refresh our tanks.

Those boys look sick.

They've been exposed.

We're friends.

Ain't you a friend?

You need to start walking.

We just wanna talk.

I know this place.

I been listening to your
radio chitter chatter.

Do you have any food?

We'd be appreciative.

Clean water, place to sleep.

We're friends, we
can help one another.

You keep tellin'
me we're friends,

but I don't know
anything about you.

Of course, ask
anything, mister...

You got a name, Mr.
Chitter Chatter?

That works for now.

How'd you know to
come to this place?

All that radio talk.

All those survivors.

Talkin', talk, talk, talkin'.

The Outlaw, talkin' away with
you, Mr. Chitter Chatter.

Mind tossin' your gun on
the ground while we talk?

See?

Nobody's hurtin' anyone.

Where you headed to?

Somewhere that'll have us.

Maybe here?

There is no here.

You need to move on.

We need rest.

We need water.

We were lookin' for
the other radio man,

but he wouldn't
let us in, neither.

That's because they're sick.

Mr. Chitter Chatter,
these two'll be gone

in the next couple of days,

but I need a place to
live, place to stay.

I can help you.

You a scavenger?

Of course.

Nobody'll let ya in,
how else do you survive?

Where'd you guys
really come from?

Prison, we came
from the prison.

You're prisoners?

Criminals.

Just survivors, now.

Like you, chitter chatter.

How'd you survive
the blast, the fallout?

There.

Prison had a shelter, too.

Fallout shelter,
all ready to go.

Guards put a bunch of us
in there and they left,

locked us in.

Said it was our best
chance to stay alive.

It was.

For a while, we survived.

What did you do?

We did what we had to do.

We decided to,

well, you know.

Cannibalism.

There was no other choice.

There's always a choice.

That's what we
thought at first, too.

But when you're hungry,
starvin', tryin' to stay alive,

you'll eat just about
anything to survive.

What happened?

First one was
killed in his sleep,

ripped apart and eaten raw
by a rabid group of killers.

Then nobody wanted to sleep.

We all just wanted to eat.

Everybody started
killin' everybody.

After a day or so, there
was only a few of us left.

What'd you do?

We started eatin',
that's what we did.

Filled our freezers, too.

That meat kept us alive.

Then a week ago, scavengers
unlocked the place, let us out.

I'm thinkin' we shoulda stayed.

Clean water and plenty to eat.

That why you came here?

No, 'course not.

I mean, we are lookin'
for food, not you.

I mean, not if you have food.

You do, don't ya?

I think it's
time you moved on.

Just take us in,
Mr. Chitter Chatter.

You won't even know we're there.

I'm not gonna be
able to do that.

Three of us, one of you.

Whoo, take him, wow.

Plan B, Plan B.

Any eyes on him?

Came through this way.

Over that way.

There's only
three here, I think.

take this place.

There's six inside.

They're bad news.

Don't let 'em leave.

Copy that, boss.

Takin' care of business.

It's dyin' time.

You two ready
for a little music?

Make it loud.

As loud as you can.

Pump it.

How 'bout some music, bitches.

Look for a light.

What?

Turn these off
and find a light.

- I
- can't see a thing.

Keep going.

Shoot anything.

This place
is worse than prison.

Shit, this
place is worse than hell.

All right, I
don't think I can do this.

It's easy,
just look straight ahead.

I did it!

Damn
you, keep it together!

Hold your shit, man!

What are you doing?

Put this back on.

No, no, no, it's safe here.

We can breathe the air.

Mr. Chitter Chatter.

I like this place.

Come on, let's go.

Oh, shit!

Shit!

Welcome, gentlemen.

Today is October 1st
and we are officially

open for business.

Oh, I like this place,
Mr. Chitter Chatter.

I want to stay here.

Why can't we be friends?

This is as
friendly as it gets.

So, what now?

You watchin' us?

Look up,
in the rafters.

Oh, you're a smart one.

So, what now?

So, you gonna kill us both?

I'll tell you what.

One of you can live.

Walk right out of here.

Talk, talk, talk.

Who's it gonna be?

Which one's gonna walk out?

That's up
to you to decide.

Somethin' like that?

Thank you.

Now throw your gun
into the darkness.

There you go, now what?

Now, you run.

Run?

Run where?

I don't know where
the hell I am.

Doesn't matter.

I'd fly.

Okay, okay.

You got me.

Here I am.

Where to go.

Just...

I don't wanna die in here.

I guess you guys were
ready for armageddon.

You were already livin' in hell.

This music.

Just kill me now.

Haunted
Forest, you copy?

Copy, Outlaw.

We're still here.

Did those raiders
end up comin' to you?

Yeah, they did.

How'd things shake out?

Hard, real hard.

And your crew?

Everybody healthy?

We're fine.

Can't say the same for
those scavengers, though.

I figured as much.

You know what, buddy?

This is the other
side of armageddon.

Copy that, over and out.

That's what we had
to do, right, Billy?

Absolutely.

We had to do it.

We had to kill them.

Those men came
here to kill us,

to take what's ours.

We can't let that happen.

Not now, not ever.

Thank you for this, Billy.

I love you guys.

We're a family.

And this,

is our home.
