The Omega Man (1971) - full transcript
Due to an experimental vaccine, Dr. Robert Neville is the only survivor of an apocalyptic war waged with biological weapons. The plague caused by the war has killed everyone else except for a few hundred deformed, nocturnal people calling themselves "The Family". The plague has caused them to become sensitive to light, as well as homicidally psychotic. They believe science and technology to be the cause of the war and their punishment, and Neville, as the last symbol of science, the old world, and a "user of the wheel", must die. Neville, using electricity, machinery, and science attempts to hold them at bay.
CAPTIONING MADE
POSSIBLE BY WARNER BROS.
THERE'S NEVER A COP
AROUND WHEN YOU NEED ONE.
HOW MUCH?
CAN'T SAY I'M CRAZY
ABOUT THE PAINT JOB.
HOW LONG TO GET AN
ORDER FROM THE FACTORY?
UH-HUH.
ALL RIGHT.
HOW MUCH YOU GIVE ME
IN TRADE FOR MY FORD?
REALLY?
THANKS A LOT, YOU
CHEATING BASTARD.
GREAT SHOW.
HELD OVER FOR A
THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR.
Country Joe: MARIJUANA!
Announcer: LADIES AND GENTLEMAN,
PLEASE WELCOME WARMLY...
COUNTRY JOE AND THE FISH.
GOOD AFTERNOON,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.
WE'RE CERTAINLY
DELIGHTED TO BE HERE TODAY.
WE'D LIKE TO START OFF
OUR PORTION OF THE SHOW
BY GIVING YOU A TASTE
OF A LITTLE SOMETHING WE CALL...
ROCK AND SOUL MUSIC.
THIS IS REALLY BEAUTIFUL, MAN.
YOU KNOW, LIKE,
YOU HAVE TO REALIZE
THE TURNABOUT
THAT I'VE GONE THROUGH
IN THE LAST 3 DAYS.
JUST TO LOOK, JUST TO SEE...
JUST TO REALLY REALIZE...
WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
THE FACT THAT IF WE
CAN'T ALL LIVE TOGETHER
AND BE HAPPY,
IF YOU HAVE TO BE AFRAID
TO WALK OUT IN THE STREET,
IF YOU HAVE TO BE AFRAID
TO SMILE AT SOMEBODY,
RIGHT?
WHAT... WHAT KIND
OF A WAY IS THAT
TO GO THROUGH THIS LIFE?
♪ COMIN' INTO LOS ANGELES ♪
NOPE...
THEY SURE DON'T MAKE
PICTURES LIKE THAT ANYMORE.
♪ DON'T TOUCH MY BAGS,
IF YOU PLEASE, MISTER ♪
THERE IS NO PHONE
RINGING, DAMN IT!
THERE IS NO PHONE.
MY GOD...
IT'S ALMOST DARK.
THEY'LL BE WAKING UP SOON.
AAH!
AAH! AAH!
PENTHOUSE, ROBERT, AND HURRY.
OUI, SIR.
THIS IS YOUR COMMENTATOR
JONATHAN MATTHIAS
WITH ANOTHER BULLETIN.
AND NOW, AS THE
SINO-RUSSIA BORDER WAR
CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY ESCALATE,
U.S. AUTHORITIES ARE
BEGINNING TO QUESTION
TO WHAT DEGREE WE
WILL BECOME INVOLVED
IN WHAT COULD SWIFTLY
GROW INTO GLOBAL CONFLICT.
Man: ABORT FIRINGS!
ABORT FIRINGS!
INTERCEPTION WILL FRAGMENT
BACILLI-CARRYING MISSILES.
REPEAT! ABORT FIRINGS!
ABORT FIRINGS!
INTERCEPTION WILL FRAGMENT
BACILLI-CARRYING MISSILES.
HI.
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR.
HI, BIG BROTHER. HOW'S YOUR ASS?
AS FOR YOU,
I THINK IT'S YOUR MOVE.
CHARMING.
HMM?
MISERABLE SCHMUCK.
ISN'T HE?
ISN'T HE A SOLEMN BAS...
AT IT AGAIN, I SEE.
WHAT'LL IT BE TONIGHT?
MUSEUM OF SCIENCE?
SOME LIBRARY?
POOR MISERABLE BASTARDS.
MMM. THEY ALMOST GOT ME TONIGHT,
YOU KNOW THAT?
YEAH?
Voice outside: NEVILLE...
COME OUT!
SHUT UP!
Voice: HA HA! NEVILLE!
WHY THE HELL CAN'T
YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?
Man: MORE!
MORE!
MORE BOOKS!
MORE BOOKS!
3, BROTHER?
ARE YOU SURE?
NOT 3.
3, BROTHER.
2 WERE INSIDE THE GARAGE
WHEN HE BROUGHT DOWN THE DOOR.
WE HEARD THE SHOOTING.
THEN JOSHUA.
THE LIGHT. THEY SHOULD HAVE
STAYED CLEAR OF THE LIGHT.
THERE WAS NO LIGHT, BROTHER.
JUST THE FIRE.
NONSENSE. NEVILLE
CAN'T SEE IN THE DARK.
TELL HIM THAT.
ANY MORE THAN WE
CAN SEE IN THE LIGHT.
TO HELL HE SEES.
GOOD ENOUGH, HE SEES.
Women: MORE!
MORE!
BURN IT ALL!
ONE CREATURE...
CAUGHT...
CAUGHT IN A PLACE
HE CANNOT STIR FROM IN THE DARK.
ALONE.
OUTNUMBERED HUNDREDS TO ONE.
NOTHING TO LIVE FOR
BUT HIS MEMORIES.
NOTHING TO LIVE
WITH BUT HIS GADGETS,
HIS CARS, HIS GUNS, GIMMICKS...
AND YET THE WHOLE FAMILY
CAN'T BRING HIM
DOWN OUT OF THAT...
THAT...
HONKY PARADISE, BROTHER?
FORGET THE OLD WAYS, BROTHER.
ALL YOUR HATREDS,
ALL YOUR PAINS...
FORGET.
AND REMEMBER...
THE FAMILY IS ONE.
BUT HIM...
THAT THING...
THAT CREATURE OF THE WHEEL...
THAT LORD OF THE
INFERNAL ENGINES
AND MACHINES...
WHAT DAY IS IT, ANYWAY?
MONDAY?
HMM?
THE HELL IT IS. IT'S SUNDAY!
ON SUNDAY, I ALWAYS
DRESS FOR DINNER.
LET ME PUT THE POWER TO HIM,
BROTHER. JUST A LITTLE NITRO.
NO.
I CAN GET THE CANNONS OUT
OF THE OLD GUARD ARMORY.
WE COULD HAVE HIM
OUT OF THERE IN NO TIME.
I SAID NO.
WE COULD...
BUT THEN THE CURSE
WOULD BEGIN ALL OVER AGAIN.
DON'T YOU SEE?
YES. YES, I SEE.
I SEE HIM LIVING
HIGH IN THE LIGHT
WHILE WE ROT AND HIDE...
LIKE GRUBS!
WHAT DO YOU SEE, BROTHER?
HE WILL BE DESTROYED,
BROTHER. HE WILL.
BUT NOT BY GUNS,
NOT BY MACHINES.
NOT BY THE EVIL
FORBIDDEN THINGS...
THE TOOLS THAT
DESTROYED THE WORLD.
THE WORLD.
THEY DESTROYED THE WORLD.
THE ENTIRE LOS ANGELES AREA.
ALREADY, HOSPITAL FACILITIES
HAVE BEGUN TO CRACK
UNDER THE STRAIN,
AND CIVIL DEFENSE AUTHORITIES
STATE THAT THE SITUATION
IS MUCH THE SAME
ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
MARTIAL LAW IS NOW NATIONWIDE.
MAJOR CITIES IN ALL
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY...
NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES...
REPORT PLAGUE VICTIMS
FALLING DEAD IN THE STREETS,
IN THEIR HOMES, AT THEIR WORK.
THE FIRST SYMPTOM APPEARS
TO BE SEVERE CHOKING,
FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE
UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
DEATH OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES.
WHETHER A STATE OF WAR BETWEEN
CHINA AND RUSSIA STILL EXISTS
IS NOT IMPORTANT ANY LONGER.
OUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN ARE DYING.
THE VERY FOUNDATIONS
OF CIVILIZATION
ARE BEGINNING TO CRUMBLE
UNDER THE DREAD ASSAULT
OF THAT HORROR LONG FEARED,
GERM WARFARE.
Man on radio: CODE-RED CHANNEL.
THIS IS A CLASS-ONE EMERGENCY.
ALL CIVILIAN TRAFFIC IS BARRED
FROM STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.
STAY IN YOUR HOMES.
STAY IN YOUR HOMES.
THOSE FOUND WITHOUT
SPECIFIC MILITARY ORDERS
ARE SUBJECT TO
SUMMARY EXECUTION.
STAY IN YOUR HOMES.
REPEAT. CODE-RED CHANNEL.
THIS IS A CLASS-ONE EMERGENCY.
ALL CIVILIAN TRAFFIC IS BARRED
FROM STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.
NOW THE QUESTION IS SURVIVAL.
IS THIS THE END OF
TECHNOLOGICAL MAN?
IS THIS THE CONCLUSION
OF ALL OUR YESTERDAYS...
THE BOASTS OF OUR
FABLED SCIENCE...
THE SUPERHUMAN CONQUESTS
OF SPACE AND TIME...
THE AGE OF THE WHEEL?
WE WERE WARNED OF JUDGMENT.
WELL...
HERE IT IS.
HERE...
NOW...
IN THE FORM OF MILLIONS
OF MICROSCOPIC BACILLI.
Matthias: THIS IS THE END.
NEVILLE.
YEAH.
I SEE.
WELL, LET'S TRY
THE TEST VACCINE.
UH, 93B-71.
HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW?
WE'LL FIND OUT.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL, UH,
BE THERE IN AN HOUR.
VACCINE.
VACCINE.
WITH FIRE, MY BROTHERS,
WE HAVE PURIFIED ALL
THAT LIVES WITH OUR ZEAL,
AND WE SHALL CONTINUE
WITH OUR WORK.
WITH OUR DEVOTION,
WE SHALL CLEANSE THE WORLD.
AND NEVILLE WILL COME DOWN...
DOWN TO THE FAMILY
INTO JUDGMENT,
DOWN TO PUNISHMENT
FOR HIS BLASPHEMIES...
AH.
HERE IS THE INSTRUMENT
OF CLEANSING, MY BRETHREN.
AND NOTHING QUITE CLEANSES...
LIKE FIRE.
I WAS LUCKY TODAY.
BELIEVE ME, I WAS LUCKY.
HE TRIED A GAMBIT...
AND IT ALMOST WORKED.
BUT...
IT ENDED UP A STALEMATE...
WITH THE FAMILY DOWN 3 PAWNS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
HIS NEXT MOVE WILL BE?
HMM?
ENDGAMES ARE ALWAYS
FULL OF SURPRISES,
AREN'T THEY?
WELL...
MY MOVE, HUH?
DISCOVERED CHECK.
HOW DOES THAT GRAB YOU, CAESAR?
YOUR MOVE, IMPERATOR.
EXCUSE ME.
DID YOU MOVE?
BALLS.
YOU KNOW, YOU USED
TO BE A NICE GUY ONCE...
YOU KNOW THAT?
AND SPEEDY BOB NEVILLE,
HIS GREAT LEGS CHURNING,
GOES FLASHING
ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
WITH A...
3 MINUTE AND 50 SECOND MILE.
GO AHEAD. I WANNA SEE SOME
SON OF A BITCH BEAT THAT.
THIS IS RECORDING 6306.
RIMINI BOULEVARD, SECTOR 2.
LAST 5 BLOCKS HAVE BEEN CLEAR...
EXCEPT FOR SOME SIGNS
THEY'VE BEEN FORAGING FOR FOOD
IN A SMALL GROCERY
STORE AT, UH...
5500 BLOCK.
YOU'D THINK THE PRICES
WOULD KEEP THEM
IN THE SUPERMARKETS.
YOU GOTTA HAND IT TO THEM.
THEY SURE COVER THEIR TRACKS.
2 YEARS.
IF I COULD JUST FIND THE NEST,
FIND OUT WHERE THEY HOLE UP.
HEY!
MATTHIAS!
ALL RIGHT...
WHERE'S MATTHIAS?
COME ON.
WHERE'S MATTHIAS?
WHERE'S THE HIVE?
Neville: JOURNAL RECORDING 958.
AUGUST 5, 1977.
I FOUND ANOTHER ONE,
ONE OF MATTHIAS'
GROUP, DEAD OF PLAGUE.
THE SWEEP CONTINUES.
NAH.
NOT MY COLOR.
WAIT!
COME BACK!
WAIT! COME BACK!
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!
HEY!
IS THIS HOW IT STARTS?
A TRIP TO THE LAUGHING ACADEMY?
NO, YOU SILLY BASTARD.
IT STARTS WITH YOU ASKING
YOURSELF IDIOT QUESTIONS.
OH, RIGHT.
RIGHT.
OK.
LET'S GET CLEANED UP...
AND FIND A DRINK
BEFORE THE BARS CLOSE.
AAH!
AND, OH, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
I ASK YOU TO LOOK AT HIM.
DOES HE HAVE THE MARKS?
DO YOU SEE THEM?
Others: NO.
YOU SEE HIM AS WE WERE
BEFORE THE PUNISHMENT,
BEFORE WE GAINED GRACE.
YOU SEE LYING THERE
THE LAST OF SCIENTISTS,
OF BANKERS, OF BUSINESSMEN,
THE USERS OF THE WHEEL.
YES. YES.
DO WE USE THE TOOLS
OF THE WHEEL AS HE DOES?
NO. NO.
IS HE OF THE FAMILY?
NO.
NO. NO.
IS HE OF THE SACRED SOCIETY?
NO. NO.
THEN WHAT IS HE?
EVIL. EVIL.
HE IS PART OF THE DEAD.
HE HAS NO PLACE HERE.
HE HAS THE STINK OF OIL,
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY ABOUT HIM.
HE IS OBSOLETE.
YOU ARE DISCARDED.
YOU ARE THE REFUSE OF THE PAST.
YOU'RE FULL OF CRAP.
HOW HARD IT IS TO
ADMIT THE TRUTH.
TAKE HIM TO THE LITTLE ROOM
FOR THE QUESTIONING.
WELL, MR. NEVILLE,
NOW WE CAN TALK A LITTLE WHILE.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME
SINCE YOU'VE TALKED,
EXCEPT TO YOURSELF.
TELL ME SOMETHING, WOULD YOU?
ARE YOU FELLAS REALLY
WITH THE INTERNAL
REVENUE SERVICE?
YOUR LITTLE JOKES ARE
MEANINGLESS, MR. NEVILLE...
OR DOCTOR OR COLONEL,
WHATEVER IT WAS THEY CALLED YOU.
I'M A SCIENTIST. WHAT
THE HELL ARE YOU?
DEFINITION OF A SCIENTIST...
A MAN WHO UNDERSTOOD NOTHING
UNTIL THERE WAS NOTHING
LEFT TO UNDERSTAND.
WELL...
SO THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT
IN THE FOREST AFTER ALL.
A GUIDING LIGHT, MR. NEVILLE.
NOW TO ME HAS PASSED
THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THIS LAST TINY
REMNANT OF MANKIND.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU
QUIT THESE BLOODY GAMES?
THROW AWAY THOSE
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
AND GET THESE PEOPLE
ORGANIZED, DAMN IT.
OR ARE YOU ALREADY TOO FAR GONE?
THE LONG ROAD OF TRUTH.
OH, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
AND WE ARE VERY
ORGANIZED, MR. NEVILLE.
AFTER LAST NIGHT,
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
IF YOU'RE ORGANIZED,
WHY DON'T YOU
TRY FINDING A CURE?
THERE IS NONE!
NONE.
THERE WAS NO CURE,
AND THERE IS NO CURE,
BUT THE FAMILY
HAS FOUND ITS WAY.
WE CAN BEAR IT.
THE ONLY BURDEN LEFT IS YOU.
BUT YOU'VE BEEN TRYING
TO KILL ME FOR 2 YEARS.
LAST NIGHT YOU KILLED HOW MANY?
3 OF US?
AND TODAY WE DON'T KNOW YET.
YOU'RE THE ANGEL OF
DEATH, DOCTOR, NOT US.
HE HAS CONFESSED
ALL, BROTHERS...
MURDER, USE OF FORBIDDEN TOOLS,
PRACTICE OF PROSCRIBED RITES.
HE ADMITS SCIENCE,
MEDICINE, WEAPONS,
MACHINERY, ELECTRICITY.
HE HAS NOT SHARED
THE PUNISHMENTS.
HE DOES NOT BEAR THE MARKS.
MARKS?
SHOW HIM, MY CHILDREN.
SHOW HIM THE PRETTY MARKS.
THESE ARE THE
MARKS, MR. NEVILLE...
THE PUNISHMENT WHICH
YOU AND THOSE LIKE YOU
BROUGHT UPON US.
IN THE BEGINNING WE
TRIED TO HELP ONE ANOTHER,
THOSE THAT WERE LEFT.
WE TRIED TO CLEAN THINGS
UP, SET THINGS STRAIGHT.
WE BURIED THINGS AND BURNED.
THEN IT CAME TO ME...
THAT WE WERE CHOSEN...
CHOSEN FOR JUST THIS WORK...
TO BURY WHAT WAS DEAD,
TO BURN WHAT WAS EVIL,
TO DESTROY WHAT WAS DANGEROUS.
YOU'RE BARBARIANS.
BARBARIANS?
YOU CALL US BARBARIANS?
WELL...
THIS IS AN HONORABLE NAME.
WE MEAN TO CANCEL THE WORLD
YOU CIVILIZED PEOPLE MADE.
WE WILL SIMPLY ERASE
HISTORY FROM THE TIME
THAT MACHINERY AND WEAPONS
THREATENED MORE
THAN THEY OFFERED.
AND WHEN YOU DIE,
THE LAST LIVING REMINDER
OF HELL WILL BE GONE.
GONE.
BROTHER ZACHARY.
WE ARE READY, BROTHER.
HERE IS EVIL.
EVIL. EVIL.
EVIL. EVIL.
EVIL. EVIL.
IS THIS NOT THE PLACE
WHERE ALL THE DEAD WERE BURNED?
YES. YES.
AND THIS IS THE LAST
OF THE DEAD.
AND WHAT SHALL WE DO
WITH HIM, MY BRETHREN?
BURN. BURN.
BURN. BURN.
YES, BURN. BURN!
BURN. BURN.
BURN. BURN.
THE DARK, THE DARK!
TURN OFF THE LIGHT!
TURN OUT THE LIGHT!
Matthias: GET THOSE LIGHTS OUT!
GIVE US THE DARK!
THE DARK!
GIVE US THE DARK!
GIVE US THE DARK!
BRING BACK THE DARK!
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
SHUT UP.
HE'S GONE! HE'S GONE!
HE'S GONE. HE'S GONE.
FIND HIM. FIND HIM.
FIND HIM! THAT'S AN ORDER!
FIND HIM!
GO, MAN, GO!
MOVE!
MOVE!
ALL RIGHT, YOU SON OF A
BITCH, YOU JUST HOLD TIGHT.
UP AGAINST THE WALL, YOU MOTHER.
UH-UH. DON'T TURN. JUST STAND.
WHEN I WANT YOU
TURNED, I'LL TURN YOU.
ON OR OFF, UP OR
AROUND, I'LL TURN YOU.
NOW COOL IT!
PUT YOUR HANDS OUT.
OUT! WAY OUT ABOUT SHOULDER HIGH
LIKE THEY'RE GONNA
CRUCIFY YOU, BABY.
MATTER OF FACT, THEY
WERE GONNA ROAST ME.
WHY'D YOU STOP 'EM?
DON'T LOOK A GIFT
HORSE IN THE MOUTH.
YOU GOT ANY MORE
QUESTIONS, FAT HEAD?
MY NAME IS ROBERT.
YOUR NAME'S MUD.
DOWN THE TUNNEL!
DOWN THE TUNNEL!
AFTER HIM!
BACK, BACK!
OK, HEY, HOLD IT.
OPEN IT UP.
YOU. YOU'RE THE...
YOUR LIVING PLAYTEX DOLL.
NOW COME ON, MAN. GET THE BIKE.
MOVE! PULL IT OUT!
YOU REALLY PLAN AHEAD.
IT HELPS. NOW LOOK,
YOU GOTTA RUN THIS
THING, YOU UNDERSTAND?
BUT I'M THE RAMROD.
THOSE STADIUM LIGHTS.
HOW'D YOU MANAGE THAT?
DUTCH KNOWS ALL
ABOUT THAT STUFF.
DUTCH?
COME ON, MAN. GET ON THE BIKE.
DON'T SCREW UP.
I KNOW HOW TO ROLL,
BUT IT'S HARD ON THE ELBOWS.
AND IF YOU JUST HAVE
TO PLAY JAMES BOND,
I'LL BUST YOUR ASS.
YES, MA'AM.
DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!
AAH!
GOD DAMN IT, LEFT,
AND STEP ON IT!
MOVE! STEP ON IT!
MOVE! DOWN THE TUNNEL, MAN.
HIT IT. THEY'RE BLINDED.
OK, BABY.
HITCH UP YOUR DRAWERS.
AAH!
I THOUGHT WE'D GOTTEN PAST THAT.
YOU'RE SWEET.
IT'S OK, TOMMY!
THIS IS THE MAN,
AND I MEAN THE MAN.
BUT HE'S COOL. IT'S OK.
COME ON, MAN.
THIS IS IT.
ALL THERE IS.
AT LEAST ALL WE KNOW OF.
THERE ARE OTHERS, I GUESS,
IF MATTHIAS AND HIS BRETHREN
HAVEN'T KILLED THEM ALL.
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE
WERE ANY LEFT.
BETWEEN THE FAMILY AT
NIGHT AND YOU IN THE DAYTIME
SHOOTING AT ANYTHING THAT MOVED,
MAN, WE HAD TO STAY LOW.
I HAD TO STAY ALIVE.
THE MAD BOMBER HIMSELF.
AND I SEE YOU GOT
THE MAD SCIENTIST.
YOU KNOW ME?
AND ABOUT YOUR WORK.
MY WORK?
BIO-WAR PATHOLOGY PARAMETERS
IN URBAN AND SEMI-URBAN
ENVIRONMENTS.
JOURNAL OF MILITARY MEDICINE,
JUNE, 1974.
INCREMENTAL EFFECTS,
COUNTERMEASURES TO TOXIC AGENTS
AND LIQUID SYSTEMS DELIVERY.
MICROBIOLOGICAL LETTERS,
JANUARY, 1975. REMEMBER?
THAT'S A NICE RECITATION.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?
I WAS A MED SCHOOL SENIOR
WHEN THEY SCRATCHED THE WORLD.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I WAS GONNA APPLY TO BIO-WAR
LABS FOR MY POST-DOC, BUT...
THE NEXT TERM NEVER CAME.
I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT.
SORRY THE WORLD DIDN'T MAKE IT.
COME ON. LET'S GO
SEE ABOUT RICHIE.
RICHIE?
LISA'S BROTHER. HE LOOKS
LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO GO OVER.
WELL, YOU'VE ONLY
SEEN THE TERTIARY CASES,
MATTHIAS AND HIS PEOPLE.
WE'RE NOT THAT FAR GONE,
BUT WE'RE ON THE ROAD.
THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD...
WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD.
WHEN IT HIT, THE OLDER
PEOPLE EITHER DIED OUTRIGHT
OR WENT TO THE THIRD
STAGE PRETTY FAST...
WELL, YOU KNOW,
BLINDNESS IN LIGHT, ALBINISM,
PSYCHOTIC ILLUSIONS,
OCCASIONAL STAGES OF TORPOR,
LIKE MATTHIAS AND
THE THINGS OUT THERE.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT ALL OF YOU?
WHY DIDN'T YOU GET IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, SOME OF
THE YOUNGER PEOPLE
HAVE A KIND OF, UH...
RESISTANCE.
I DON'T KNOW, WE JUST HOLD OUT.
ONE OR TWO OF US ARE
A BIT LIGHT-SENSITIVE,
BUT OTHERWISE, WE'RE ALL RIGHT.
BUT RICHIE'S DEFINITELY GOING.
HE'S ADVANCED SECONDARY.
INCIDENTALLY,
MIND TELLING ME WHAT
KEEPS YOU IN THE CITY?
YOU SOME KIND OF
EXTERMINATOR, HUH?
I GUESS MAYBE YOU
COULD CALL IT THAT.
VERY COMPLICATED, DOCTOR.
STILL, YOU KNOW, IF IT WAS ME,
I'D BE LIVING ON
TOP OF CITY HALL,
OR BETTER THAN
THAT, THE OXY TOWER
INSTEAD OF THAT
PILLBOX I HEAR YOU'RE IN.
WELL, THAT'S WHERE I LIVE.
IT'S WHERE I USED TO LIVE.
IT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO LIVE,
AND NOT MATTHIAS NOR HIS FAMILY
NOR ANY OTHER SON OF A BITCH
IS GOING TO MAKE ME LEAVE.
HE'S NO BETTER.
HIS FEVER IS HIGH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SHUT UP. KEEP OUT OF THE WAY.
SIT DOWN.
SIT DOWN.
HE COULD STAY
LIKE THIS FOR WEEKS,
OR HE COULD GO OVER
10 MINUTES FROM NOW.
I'VE SEEN THEM GO BEFORE.
I ALMOST GOT KILLED
BY A FRIEND OF MINE
LAST SUMMER.
HE WENT OVER
WITHOUT ANY WARNING.
WHEN I LOOKED AWAY, HIS...
FACE WAS GETTING PALE
AND HIS HAIR WAS GOING.
WHEN I LOOKED BACK...
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY EYES.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
I DID JUST LIKE
YOU'D DO, DOCTOR.
I KILLED HIM.
IF THE MASONIC RITES ARE OVER,
HOW ABOUT RICHIE?
WE'LL TAKE HIM TO MY PLACE.
I GOT NEARLY
EVERYTHING I NEED THERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU CAN DO, DOCTOR?
I MEAN, SEEING HOW YOU'VE LOST
OVER 200 MILLION PATIENTS.
I DON'T HAVE IT.
HAVE WHAT?
THE PLAGUE. I'M IMMUNE.
EVERYBODY HAS IT.
EVERYBODY BUT ME.
THERE WAS A VACCINE...
JUST AN EXPERIMENTAL BATCH.
WE WEREN'T SURE IT WOULD WORK.
WHY, IF YOU'RE
IMMUNE, YOU COULD...
THAT'S RIGHT.
MY BLOOD MIGHT BE A SERUM.
AT THE STAGE THAT BOY'S IN,
MY ANTIBODIES COULD
REVERSE THE WHOLE PROCESS...
STOP IT.
CHRIST, YOU COULD
SAVE THE WORLD.
SCREW THE WORLD.
LET'S SAVE RICHIE.
NO, NOTHING WITH DRUGS.
IT'S GOT TO BE THE SERUM.
COULDN'T YOU
RECONSTITUTE THE VACCINE?
HA HA! YOU GOT ANY IDEA
HOW MANY STEPS IT TAKES
TO SYNTHESIZE AN ANTIBIOTIC
SPECIFIC FOR THIS BUG?
GOT THE PICTURE.
I'VE TRIED. GOD
KNOWS I'VE TRIED.
ONCE I CAUGHT ONE OF
MATTHIAS' PEOPLE LAST YEAR
AND TRIED EVERYTHING
ON THE SHELVES ON HIM.
AAH!
HE DAMN NEAR KILLED ME,
AND THEN HE DIED
VERY BADLY HIMSELF.
SO IT'S VERY TIGHT, DOCTOR...
VERY TIGHT.
BRING HIM IN HERE.
IN THE BED.
I SEE WHERE YOU DO
YOUR HEAVY THINKING.
WELL, ONE SIDE KEEPS
THE OTHER SIDE GOING.
CAN'T HAVE ONE
WITHOUT THE OTHER.
I'M A NARCISSIST.
HOW DO YOU DO?
THE GUEST ROOM.
YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING US?
I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU.
WELL, HOLD THESE.
I'M GOING TO NEED SOME HELP.
WELL, LISA WILL HAVE TO DO.
I HATE TO LEAVE THE KIDS
TOO LONG BY THEMSELVES.
THEY GET SPOOKED.
HEY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE KIDS,
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY?
NO. WHAT DO SOME
OF THE KIDS SAY?
THEY SAY THE FAMILY COMES
IN THE NIGHT WHEN IT'S DARK.
THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING
TO COME SOME NIGHT
AND TAKE RICHIE'S SOUL
AND TIE IT ALL UP IN A BAG
AND GIVE IT TO THE DEVIL.
IS THAT REALLY TRUE?
DO YOU KNOW IF
THAT'S REALLY TRUE?
NO. WE WOULDN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.
NOT A CHANCE.
ARE YOU GOD?
LET'S FIND OUT IF HE'S
EVEN A DOCTOR FIRST
BEFORE WE GO PROMOTING HIM, OK?
OK.
Lisa: HOW ABOUT A BREAK?
WELL...
YOUR MOVE.
I JUST MADE MY MOVE.
WHERE'D YOU GET THAT DRESS?
THE SAME PLACE
YOU GOT THAT JACKET.
I HUSTLED IT.
THE HOUSE FUZZ WAS ON VACATION.
Matthias: NEVILLE.
NEVILLE!
HIS VOICE.
I'LL NEVER GET USED TO IT,
TO HEARING IT.
SOMETHING...
WE WERE WITH THEM
FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW?
WITH MATTHIAS?
YOU WERE A PART OF THAT FAMILY?
WHEN IT HAPPENED,
WHEN EVEN THE ARMY FELL APART,
AND THERE WAS NOBODY LEFT
EXCEPT THOSE LIVING
ALONE LIKE ANIMALS,
MATTHIAS WOULD WALK
THE STREETS AT NIGHT
RINGING A BELL.
RICHIE AND I, WE HAD US A PLACE
IN THE BACK OF A
FURNITURE STORE.
ONE DAY, WE HEAR THIS BELL.
SO WE GO OUT TO SEE,
AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE.
WE THOUGHT WE WERE ALONE,
JUST ME AND RICHIE WITH
MILLIONS OF CORPSES.
BUT THERE WAS MATTHIAS
AND OTHER PEOPLE.
WELL, ANYWAY,
HE GAVE US THE FAMILY...
FOR A WHILE.
WE HELPED WITH THE BURIALS,
WE HELPED WITH THE BURNINGS,
BUT WHEN IT WAS OVER
AND THE WORST WAS PAST,
THEY BEGAN TO KNOW
HOW DIFFERENT WE WERE...
OUR SKIN, OUR EYES.
ONE DAY WHILE THEY WERE ASLEEP,
WE JUST TOOK OFF.
HOW'D YOU GET MIXED UP
WITH, UH, DUTCH AND HIS GROUP?
OH, DUTCH CAME OUT ONE DAY
AND SAID HE WAS WITH
THE CENSUS BUREAU.
NOW, WHAT YOU THINKING?
WELL, YOU KNOW
THE, UH, OLD SONG...
IF YOU WERE THE ONLY
GIRL IN THE WORLD,
AND I WERE THE ONLY BOY, OK,
BUT, UH, UNTIL THEN
DON'T BOTHER ME?
I GUESS I'M THE ONLY BOY.
THE FAMILY.
GOD, I FORGOT TO KEEP THE
FUEL UP IN THE GENERATOR.
THEY'LL BE INTO THE GARAGE!
YOU STAY HERE.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
COMFORT.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE
TIME, BROTHER ZACHARY.
MORE TIME THAN
NEVILLE HAS, BROTHER.
WHEN HE COMES BACK
UP, I'LL BE WAITING FOR HIM.
TAKE CARE. HE HAS
THE LUCK OF A DEVIL.
I KNOW.
BUT THIS TIME ITS
LUCK HAS RUN OUT.
ROBERT!
AAH!
YOU CAN TAKE DOWN THAT
SERVICE FLAG NOW, MOTHER.
MAN, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT.
HEY.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH. YEAH, I'M OK.
NOW, WHAT'S THIS
STUFF ABOUT ME BEING
THE ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD?
DO YOU KNOW IT'S
BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME?
I'M NOT SURE I REMEMBER
HOW THIS GOES.
HOW IS HE?
OH, HE'S STABLE.
NO LOSS OF PIGMENT
SINCE YESTERDAY,
AND VITAL SIGNS ARE STEADY.
HE'S COMFORTABLE.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG
TIME SINCE I'VE HAD A PATIENT.
WELL, DOCTOR, YOU
CERTAINLY HAVEN'T LOST
YOUR BEDSIDE MANNER.
IS THAT SO?
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
WHAT IS IT?
BIRTH-CONTROL PILLS.
YEAH.
THERE WE ARE.
I CAN MAKE TOXINS
FROM BOTH OF THESE.
Neville: ALL RIGHT,
NOW THE TOURNIQUET.
GOOD AND TIGHT.
THAT'S FINE.
GIVE ME THE SWAB.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GET THE NEEDLE.
GO AHEAD.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE
OFF THE TOURNIQUET.
WILL ONE BOTTLE BE ENOUGH?
IT'S GENUINE 160 PROOF
OLD ANGLO-SAXON, BABY.
Neville: I WAS A VERY PECULIAR
DOCTOR IN THOSE DAYS,
TRYING TO FIND TREATMENTS
FOR DISEASES THAT
HADN'T EXISTED,
TILL OTHER DOCTORS
INVENTED THEM.
NOW I'M THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH.
I'LL DRAW BLOOD
AS OFTEN AS I CAN.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO
KEEP PUMPING IT INTO HIM.
HOW LONG DO YOU
THINK IT'LL TAKE?
I DON'T KNOW.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
BUT IF IT DOES WORK, THEN RICHIE
WILL BE THE SOURCE OF
EVEN MORE ANTIBODIES.
THE MORE PEOPLE WE INJECT,
THE MORE SERUM WE'LL GET.
AND WHEN THAT'S DONE...
WHEN THAT'S DONE,
BABY, WE WILL PULL OUT.
WE'LL TAKE WHAT WE NEED
AND HEAD FOR THE MOUNTAINS.
OUT OF RATS' ALLEY,
WHERE THE DEAD
MEN LOST THEIR BONES.
T.S. ELIOT TURNS
OUT TO HAVE BEEN
JUST AS GOOD A PROPHET
AS HE WAS A POET.
THE WASTE LAND.
I WONDER IF IT COMFORTS HIM.
I WONDER IF I'LL EVER SEE A
STREAM FULL OF FISH AGAIN.
WHERE'D YOU EVER SEE
A STREAM FULL OF FISH
IN HARLEM?
AT THE MOVIES.
DOES THAT HURT?
A LITTLE, YEAH.
IT HURTS. HOW ABOUT OFF, MAN?
TURN IT OFF.
A WEEK AGO, THAT MUCH LIGHT
WOULD HAVE SENT
YOU RIGHT UP THE WALL.
I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT.
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER BATCH OF
THIS SERUM READY IN A FEW HOURS,
THEN WE'LL LOAD UP THAT
LAND ROVER IN THE GARAGE,
PICK UP DUTCH AND THE KIDS,
AND HEAD FOR THE HILLS.
HOW ABOUT THE SIERRAS?
YEAH. OH, BOB.
OH, BABY, WE MADE
IT. WE REALLY MADE IT.
I THINK I'LL GO PICK UP
SOME STUFF FOR THE TRIP.
IS THERE ANYTHING
SPECIAL YOU FANCY, BABY?
WHAT I PICK UP TODAY,
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
WHY DON'T YOU SKIP IT?
OH, HONEY.
THE MOST DANGEROUS THING
I EVER RAN INTO IN ONE
OF THOSE STORES WAS YOU.
WELL, YOU WATCH YOURSELF.
YOU STAY ON THE GROUND FLOORS,
NEAR THE DOORS,
AND IN THE LIGHT.
IF YOU SEE ANYTHING, SHOOT.
CHECK.
HONEY, CAN I BORROW
YOUR CREDIT CARDS?
Richie: IS THAT GONNA BE FOR ME?
NO. YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE.
THIS IS FOR LISA.
ONE OF THESE DAYS, SHE MAY...
START TO TURN?
THAT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.
IT'S BEST TO CATCH
THESE THINGS EARLY.
THEN YOU DON'T THINK THE
SERUM WOULD WORK FOR...
TERTIARY CASES?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
LIKE MATTHIAS. THE FAMILY.
IT'S HARD TO SAY.
WELL, WOULD IT?
COME ON, HELP ME WITH THIS.
PUT THE CAP ON THAT.
PUT IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
I CAN'T AFFORD TO
GIVE MORE BLOOD
TILL I GET CLEAR OF THIS TOWN.
LATER ON,
IF YOUR BLOOD COUNT COMES UP
AND YOU PUT ON SOME WEIGHT,
WE CAN USE YOUR
BLOOD TO MAKE SERUM.
YEAH?
YEAH. NOW GO EAT YOUR SOUP.
Richie: YOU KNOW, SOMEONE
OUGHT TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE.
HOW ABOUT IT?
YOU GONNA GIVE THEM THE SERUM?
FAT CHANCE.
HOW COME?
WELL, WE'D HAVE TO
HANG AROUND HERE
FOR A FEW MORE
MONTHS, FOR ONE THING.
FOR ANOTHER THING,
THEY'RE HOMICIDAL MANIACS,
FOR GOD SAKES.
HEY, MAN, THEY'RE HUMANS.
I MEAN, THEY'RE SICK, YOU KNOW?
THEY'RE VERMIN.
OK, THEN.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
CURE THEM, THEN KILL THEM.
IF I JUST KNEW WHERE THEY'RE AT.
THE OLD COURT
BUILDING, THAT'S WHERE.
IN THE CIVIC CENTER.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE HOLED UP.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
THEY'RE THERE.
WELL, GO ON.
AIN'T YOU GONNA GO
DOWN THERE AND ZAP 'EM?
WHY NOT?
YOU'VE BEEN LOOKIN' TO KILL THEM
FOR PRACTICALLY 2
WHOLE YEARS NOW.
EITHER KILL THEM OR
CURE THEM, DAMN IT.
NO NEED.
THEY'RE HALF DEAD RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT, MISTER?
YOU'RE HOSTILE.
YOU JUST DON'T BELONG.
NICE OF YOU TO LET
ME HANG AROUND.
AT TIMES, YOU SCARE ME
MORE THAN MATTHIAS DOES.
HEY, DUTCH!
HOW'S RICHIE?
BEAUTIFUL. IT WORKS.
IT WORKS. IT WORKS?
IT WORKS!
IT WORKS! IT WORKS!
HA HA HA!
IT WORKS!
OH, MY GOD, IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL WORLD!
DON'T YOU THINK WE OUGHT
TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT?
DAMN RIGHT.
I'VE GOT SOME BLOOD DRAWN
TO MAKE UP SERUM FOR LISA.
WE'LL START ON THE REST
OF YOU IN A WEEK OR SO.
HA HA HA!
CAN YOU HAVE ALL THOSE KIDS
READY TO LEAVE TOMORROW?
GONNA TAKE ME A
LITTLE RIDE IN THE SUN.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
AWAY, THAT'S ALL. JUST AWAY.
SOMEPLACE NOBODY
EVER BOTHERED WITH...
A RIVER NOBODY EVER DAMMED,
A MOUNTAIN NOBODY EVER
BUILT ANY BLOODY FREEWAYS TO,
WHERE EVERYTHING WE DO WILL
BE THE FIRST TIME IT EVER HAPPENED.
YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
JUST LIKE IN THE
BEGINNING OF THE WORLD.
LIKE WE WERE
STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN!
ONLY THIS TIME, WE DON'T
TRUST NO FRIGGIN' SNAKE!
RICHIE?
WELL, SCOUT, I WONDER IF
WE'RE GONNA HAVE ROOM FOR YOU.
RICHIE!
"GOING TO FIND
OUT WHO'S RIGHT..."
"YOU OR ME."
WELL, RICHARD, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I CAME TO HELP YOU.
YOU KNOW THE MAN.
NEVILLE?
THAT'S HIM, YEAH.
LISTEN, HE'S GOT A SERUM
FOR WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU.
AND IF YOU COULD JUST
TALK TO HIM, GET WITH HIM,
THEN EVERYBODY COULD BE...
YES? EVERYBODY COULD BE WHAT?
EVERYONE, WELL...
EVERYBODY COULD BE NORMAL AGAIN.
I SEE.
YOU MEAN WE COULD
BE AS WE WERE BEFORE?
YEAH, I GUESS SO.
THE WAY WE WERE.
THE WAY WE WERE.
THAT'S WHAT NEVILLE
THINKS WE WANT?
IS THAT WHY HE SENT YOU?
HE DIDN'T SEND ME. HE...
SILENCE!
OH, YES, HE SENT YOU...
TO OFFER US SOMETHING
FROM HIS WORLD,
TO CHANGE US BACK TO
THE CREATURES WE WERE.
A TRICK.
A TRICK TO WEAKEN OUR RESOLVE.
I WAS ALMOST LIKE
YOU, BUT HE SAVED ME.
HE BROUGHT ME BACK,
AND HE WANTS US ALL
TO GO AWAY FROM HERE.
YOU HAVE BEEN DAMNED,
RICHARD, DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
DON'T YOU?
PREPARE THE FAMILY.
TONIGHT...
I THINK NEVILLE MIGHT COME OUT.
TONIGHT.
All: TONIGHT.
TONIGHT...
TONIGHT...
TONIGHT...
All: THE FAMILY IS ONE.
Matthias: THE FAMILY IS ALL.
THE FAMILY IS ALL.
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD.
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
THE FAMILY.
THE FAMILY.
THE FAMILY!
THE FAMILY!
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD!
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OH, MY GOD.
LISA?
LISA?
YES, ROBERT?
LISA, ABOUT RICHIE...
I KNOW, ROBERT.
YOU KNOW?
MATTHIAS TOLD ME.
IT WAS NECESSARY.
MY GOD.
LISA...
COME IN, NEVILLE.
SOUNDS STRANGE, DOESN'T IT?
"COME IN, NEVILLE."
I THOUGHT WE MIGHT ARRANGE
A LITTLE ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOU
BEFORE TIME FOR CONCLUDING
OUR LITTLE BUSINESS.
MY BROTHERS...
WE WAITED FOR YOU, NEVILLE,
SO YOU COULD
SEE THIS... THE END.
THE END OF ALL YOU'VE DONE.
YOU SEE, NONE OF IT WAS REAL.
IT WAS ILLUSION... YOUR
ART, YOUR SCIENCE.
IT WAS ALL A NIGHTMARE,
AND NOW IT'S DONE.
FINISHED.
MY BRETHREN...
OUR TASK IS NEARLY COMPLETE.
HE WAS THE LAST OF THOSE
WHO BROUGHT THE
PUNISHMENT TO US.
WE HAVE CLEANSED
AND PURGED HIS WORLD.
NOW WE MUST BUILD.
BUILD COFFINS.
THAT'S ALL YOU'LL NEED.
BRING HIM.
ALL RIGHT, STAND BACK!
BACK UP!
LISA!
STOP HIM! DON'T
LET HIM GET AWAY!
IT'S 10 MINUTES TO SUNUP.
WE'LL HAVE TO CHANCE IT.
Matthias: LISA...
LISA...
MATTHIAS.
LISA...
LISA!
I WANT...
DAMN IT, IT'S JAMMED!
LISA!
I WANT YOU.
LISA!
I... WANT... YOU.
LISA, FOR GOD'S SAKES,
COME BACK IN THE LIGHT!
UNH!
THE BAD DREAM IS
OVER, FRIEND NEVILLE.
NOW WE CAN SLEEP IN PEACE.
UNH...
LISA!
ROBERT, YOU'RE EVIL.
I... I'M PART OF THE
FAMILY, ROBERT.
I'M SORRY.
THE FAMILY, ROBERT.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.

PENTHOUSE, ROBERT, AND HURRY.
OUI, SIR.
THIS IS YOUR COMMENTATOR
JONATHAN MATTHIAS
WITH ANOTHER BULLETIN.
AND NOW, AS THE
SINO-RUSSIA BORDER WAR
CONTINUES TO RAPIDLY ESCALATE,
U.S. AUTHORITIES ARE
BEGINNING TO QUESTION
TO WHAT DEGREE WE
WILL BECOME INVOLVED
IN WHAT COULD SWIFTLY
GROW INTO GLOBAL CONFLICT.
Man: ABORT FIRINGS!
ABORT FIRINGS!
INTERCEPTION WILL FRAGMENT
BACILLI-CARRYING MISSILES.
REPEAT! ABORT FIRINGS!
ABORT FIRINGS!
INTERCEPTION WILL FRAGMENT
BACILLI-CARRYING MISSILES.
HI.
ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR.
HI, BIG BROTHER. HOW'S YOUR ASS?
AS FOR YOU,
I THINK IT'S YOUR MOVE.
CHARMING.
HMM?
MISERABLE SCHMUCK.
ISN'T HE?
ISN'T HE A SOLEMN BAS...
AT IT AGAIN, I SEE.
WHAT'LL IT BE TONIGHT?
MUSEUM OF SCIENCE?
SOME LIBRARY?
POOR MISERABLE BASTARDS.
MMM. THEY ALMOST GOT ME TONIGHT,
YOU KNOW THAT?
YEAH?
Voice outside: NEVILLE...
COME OUT!
SHUT UP!
Voice: HA HA! NEVILLE!
WHY THE HELL CAN'T
YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?
Man: MORE!
MORE!
MORE BOOKS!
MORE BOOKS!
3, BROTHER?
ARE YOU SURE?
NOT 3.
3, BROTHER.
2 WERE INSIDE THE GARAGE
WHEN HE BROUGHT DOWN THE DOOR.
WE HEARD THE SHOOTING.
THEN JOSHUA.
THE LIGHT. THEY SHOULD HAVE
STAYED CLEAR OF THE LIGHT.
THERE WAS NO LIGHT, BROTHER.
JUST THE FIRE.
NONSENSE. NEVILLE
CAN'T SEE IN THE DARK.
TELL HIM THAT.
ANY MORE THAN WE
CAN SEE IN THE LIGHT.
TO HELL HE SEES.
GOOD ENOUGH, HE SEES.
Women: MORE!
MORE!
BURN IT ALL!
ONE CREATURE...
CAUGHT...
CAUGHT IN A PLACE
HE CANNOT STIR FROM IN THE DARK.
ALONE.
OUTNUMBERED HUNDREDS TO ONE.
NOTHING TO LIVE FOR
BUT HIS MEMORIES.
NOTHING TO LIVE
WITH BUT HIS GADGETS,
HIS CARS, HIS GUNS, GIMMICKS...
AND YET THE WHOLE FAMILY
CAN'T BRING HIM
DOWN OUT OF THAT...
THAT...
HONKY PARADISE, BROTHER?
FORGET THE OLD WAYS, BROTHER.
ALL YOUR HATREDS,
ALL YOUR PAINS...
FORGET.
AND REMEMBER...
THE FAMILY IS ONE.
BUT HIM...
THAT THING...
THAT CREATURE OF THE WHEEL...
THAT LORD OF THE
INFERNAL ENGINES
AND MACHINES...
WHAT DAY IS IT, ANYWAY?
MONDAY?
HMM?
THE HELL IT IS. IT'S SUNDAY!
ON SUNDAY, I ALWAYS
DRESS FOR DINNER.
LET ME PUT THE POWER TO HIM,
BROTHER. JUST A LITTLE NITRO.
NO.
I CAN GET THE CANNONS OUT
OF THE OLD GUARD ARMORY.
WE COULD HAVE HIM
OUT OF THERE IN NO TIME.
I SAID NO.
WE COULD...
BUT THEN THE CURSE
WOULD BEGIN ALL OVER AGAIN.
DON'T YOU SEE?
YES. YES, I SEE.
I SEE HIM LIVING
HIGH IN THE LIGHT
WHILE WE ROT AND HIDE...
LIKE GRUBS!
WHAT DO YOU SEE, BROTHER?
HE WILL BE DESTROYED,
BROTHER. HE WILL.
BUT NOT BY GUNS,
NOT BY MACHINES.
NOT BY THE EVIL
FORBIDDEN THINGS...
THE TOOLS THAT
DESTROYED THE WORLD.
THE WORLD.
THEY DESTROYED THE WORLD.
THE ENTIRE LOS ANGELES AREA.
ALREADY, HOSPITAL FACILITIES
HAVE BEGUN TO CRACK
UNDER THE STRAIN,
AND CIVIL DEFENSE AUTHORITIES
STATE THAT THE SITUATION
IS MUCH THE SAME
ACROSS THE ENTIRE COUNTRY.
MARTIAL LAW IS NOW NATIONWIDE.
MAJOR CITIES IN ALL
PARTS OF THE COUNTRY...
NEW YORK, LOS ANGELES...
REPORT PLAGUE VICTIMS
FALLING DEAD IN THE STREETS,
IN THEIR HOMES, AT THEIR WORK.
THE FIRST SYMPTOM APPEARS
TO BE SEVERE CHOKING,
FOLLOWED BY IMMEDIATE
UNCONSCIOUSNESS.
DEATH OCCURS WITHIN MINUTES.
WHETHER A STATE OF WAR BETWEEN
CHINA AND RUSSIA STILL EXISTS
IS NOT IMPORTANT ANY LONGER.
OUR FELLOW COUNTRYMEN ARE DYING.
THE VERY FOUNDATIONS
OF CIVILIZATION
ARE BEGINNING TO CRUMBLE
UNDER THE DREAD ASSAULT
OF THAT HORROR LONG FEARED,
GERM WARFARE.
Man on radio: CODE-RED CHANNEL.
THIS IS A CLASS-ONE EMERGENCY.
ALL CIVILIAN TRAFFIC IS BARRED
FROM STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.
STAY IN YOUR HOMES.
STAY IN YOUR HOMES.
THOSE FOUND WITHOUT
SPECIFIC MILITARY ORDERS
ARE SUBJECT TO
SUMMARY EXECUTION.
STAY IN YOUR HOMES.
REPEAT. CODE-RED CHANNEL.
THIS IS A CLASS-ONE EMERGENCY.
ALL CIVILIAN TRAFFIC IS BARRED
FROM STREETS AND HIGHWAYS.
NOW THE QUESTION IS SURVIVAL.
IS THIS THE END OF
TECHNOLOGICAL MAN?
IS THIS THE CONCLUSION
OF ALL OUR YESTERDAYS...
THE BOASTS OF OUR
FABLED SCIENCE...
THE SUPERHUMAN CONQUESTS
OF SPACE AND TIME...
THE AGE OF THE WHEEL?
WE WERE WARNED OF JUDGMENT.
WELL...
HERE IT IS.
HERE...
NOW...
IN THE FORM OF MILLIONS
OF MICROSCOPIC BACILLI.
Matthias: THIS IS THE END.
NEVILLE.
YEAH.
I SEE.
WELL, LET'S TRY
THE TEST VACCINE.
UH, 93B-71.
HOW THE HELL DO I KNOW?
WE'LL FIND OUT.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL, UH,
BE THERE IN AN HOUR.
VACCINE.
VACCINE.
WITH FIRE, MY BROTHERS,
WE HAVE PURIFIED ALL
THAT LIVES WITH OUR ZEAL,
AND WE SHALL CONTINUE
WITH OUR WORK.
WITH OUR DEVOTION,
WE SHALL CLEANSE THE WORLD.
AND NEVILLE WILL COME DOWN...
DOWN TO THE FAMILY
INTO JUDGMENT,
DOWN TO PUNISHMENT
FOR HIS BLASPHEMIES...
AH.
HERE IS THE INSTRUMENT
OF CLEANSING, MY BRETHREN.
AND NOTHING QUITE CLEANSES...
LIKE FIRE.
I WAS LUCKY TODAY.
BELIEVE ME, I WAS LUCKY.
HE TRIED A GAMBIT...
AND IT ALMOST WORKED.
BUT...
IT ENDED UP A STALEMATE...
WITH THE FAMILY DOWN 3 PAWNS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK
HIS NEXT MOVE WILL BE?
HMM?
ENDGAMES ARE ALWAYS
FULL OF SURPRISES,
AREN'T THEY?
WELL...
MY MOVE, HUH?
DISCOVERED CHECK.
HOW DOES THAT GRAB YOU, CAESAR?
YOUR MOVE, IMPERATOR.
EXCUSE ME.
DID YOU MOVE?
BALLS.
YOU KNOW, YOU USED
TO BE A NICE GUY ONCE...
YOU KNOW THAT?
AND SPEEDY BOB NEVILLE,
HIS GREAT LEGS CHURNING,
GOES FLASHING
ACROSS THE FINISH LINE
WITH A...
3 MINUTE AND 50 SECOND MILE.
GO AHEAD. I WANNA SEE SOME
SON OF A BITCH BEAT THAT.
THIS IS RECORDING 6306.
RIMINI BOULEVARD, SECTOR 2.
LAST 5 BLOCKS HAVE BEEN CLEAR...
EXCEPT FOR SOME SIGNS
THEY'VE BEEN FORAGING FOR FOOD
IN A SMALL GROCERY
STORE AT, UH...
5500 BLOCK.
YOU'D THINK THE PRICES
WOULD KEEP THEM
IN THE SUPERMARKETS.
YOU GOTTA HAND IT TO THEM.
THEY SURE COVER THEIR TRACKS.
2 YEARS.
IF I COULD JUST FIND THE NEST,
FIND OUT WHERE THEY HOLE UP.
HEY!
MATTHIAS!
ALL RIGHT...
WHERE'S MATTHIAS?
COME ON.
WHERE'S MATTHIAS?
WHERE'S THE HIVE?
Neville: JOURNAL RECORDING 958.
AUGUST 5, 1977.
I FOUND ANOTHER ONE,
ONE OF MATTHIAS'
GROUP, DEAD OF PLAGUE.
THE SWEEP CONTINUES.
NAH.
NOT MY COLOR.
WAIT!
COME BACK!
WAIT! COME BACK!
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!
HEY!
IS THIS HOW IT STARTS?
A TRIP TO THE LAUGHING ACADEMY?
NO, YOU SILLY BASTARD.
IT STARTS WITH YOU ASKING
YOURSELF IDIOT QUESTIONS.
OH, RIGHT.
RIGHT.
OK.
LET'S GET CLEANED UP...
AND FIND A DRINK
BEFORE THE BARS CLOSE.
AAH!
AND, OH, BROTHERS AND SISTERS,
I ASK YOU TO LOOK AT HIM.
DOES HE HAVE THE MARKS?
DO YOU SEE THEM?
Others: NO.
YOU SEE HIM AS WE WERE
BEFORE THE PUNISHMENT,
BEFORE WE GAINED GRACE.
YOU SEE LYING THERE
THE LAST OF SCIENTISTS,
OF BANKERS, OF BUSINESSMEN,
THE USERS OF THE WHEEL.
YES. YES.
DO WE USE THE TOOLS
OF THE WHEEL AS HE DOES?
NO. NO.
IS HE OF THE FAMILY?
NO.
NO. NO.
IS HE OF THE SACRED SOCIETY?
NO. NO.
THEN WHAT IS HE?
EVIL. EVIL.
HE IS PART OF THE DEAD.
HE HAS NO PLACE HERE.
HE HAS THE STINK OF OIL,
ELECTRICAL CIRCUITRY ABOUT HIM.
HE IS OBSOLETE.
YOU ARE DISCARDED.
YOU ARE THE REFUSE OF THE PAST.
YOU'RE FULL OF CRAP.
HOW HARD IT IS TO
ADMIT THE TRUTH.
TAKE HIM TO THE LITTLE ROOM
FOR THE QUESTIONING.
WELL, MR. NEVILLE,
NOW WE CAN TALK A LITTLE WHILE.
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME
SINCE YOU'VE TALKED,
EXCEPT TO YOURSELF.
TELL ME SOMETHING, WOULD YOU?
ARE YOU FELLAS REALLY
WITH THE INTERNAL
REVENUE SERVICE?
YOUR LITTLE JOKES ARE
MEANINGLESS, MR. NEVILLE...
OR DOCTOR OR COLONEL,
WHATEVER IT WAS THEY CALLED YOU.
I'M A SCIENTIST. WHAT
THE HELL ARE YOU?
DEFINITION OF A SCIENTIST...
A MAN WHO UNDERSTOOD NOTHING
UNTIL THERE WAS NOTHING
LEFT TO UNDERSTAND.
WELL...
SO THERE IS A LITTLE LIGHT
IN THE FOREST AFTER ALL.
A GUIDING LIGHT, MR. NEVILLE.
NOW TO ME HAS PASSED
THE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR THIS LAST TINY
REMNANT OF MANKIND.
THEN WHY DON'T YOU
QUIT THESE BLOODY GAMES?
THROW AWAY THOSE
HALLOWEEN COSTUMES
AND GET THESE PEOPLE
ORGANIZED, DAMN IT.
OR ARE YOU ALREADY TOO FAR GONE?
THE LONG ROAD OF TRUTH.
OH, FOR GOD'S SAKE.
AND WE ARE VERY
ORGANIZED, MR. NEVILLE.
AFTER LAST NIGHT,
YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT.
IF YOU'RE ORGANIZED,
WHY DON'T YOU
TRY FINDING A CURE?
THERE IS NONE!
NONE.
THERE WAS NO CURE,
AND THERE IS NO CURE,
BUT THE FAMILY
HAS FOUND ITS WAY.
WE CAN BEAR IT.
THE ONLY BURDEN LEFT IS YOU.
BUT YOU'VE BEEN TRYING
TO KILL ME FOR 2 YEARS.
LAST NIGHT YOU KILLED HOW MANY?
3 OF US?
AND TODAY WE DON'T KNOW YET.
YOU'RE THE ANGEL OF
DEATH, DOCTOR, NOT US.
HE HAS CONFESSED
ALL, BROTHERS...
MURDER, USE OF FORBIDDEN TOOLS,
PRACTICE OF PROSCRIBED RITES.
HE ADMITS SCIENCE,
MEDICINE, WEAPONS,
MACHINERY, ELECTRICITY.
HE HAS NOT SHARED
THE PUNISHMENTS.
HE DOES NOT BEAR THE MARKS.
MARKS?
SHOW HIM, MY CHILDREN.
SHOW HIM THE PRETTY MARKS.
THESE ARE THE
MARKS, MR. NEVILLE...
THE PUNISHMENT WHICH
YOU AND THOSE LIKE YOU
BROUGHT UPON US.
IN THE BEGINNING WE
TRIED TO HELP ONE ANOTHER,
THOSE THAT WERE LEFT.
WE TRIED TO CLEAN THINGS
UP, SET THINGS STRAIGHT.
WE BURIED THINGS AND BURNED.
THEN IT CAME TO ME...
THAT WE WERE CHOSEN...
CHOSEN FOR JUST THIS WORK...
TO BURY WHAT WAS DEAD,
TO BURN WHAT WAS EVIL,
TO DESTROY WHAT WAS DANGEROUS.
YOU'RE BARBARIANS.
BARBARIANS?
YOU CALL US BARBARIANS?
WELL...
THIS IS AN HONORABLE NAME.
WE MEAN TO CANCEL THE WORLD
YOU CIVILIZED PEOPLE MADE.
WE WILL SIMPLY ERASE
HISTORY FROM THE TIME
THAT MACHINERY AND WEAPONS
THREATENED MORE
THAN THEY OFFERED.
AND WHEN YOU DIE,
THE LAST LIVING REMINDER
OF HELL WILL BE GONE.
GONE.
BROTHER ZACHARY.
WE ARE READY, BROTHER.
HERE IS EVIL.
EVIL. EVIL.
EVIL. EVIL.
EVIL. EVIL.
IS THIS NOT THE PLACE
WHERE ALL THE DEAD WERE BURNED?
YES. YES.
AND THIS IS THE LAST
OF THE DEAD.
AND WHAT SHALL WE DO
WITH HIM, MY BRETHREN?
BURN. BURN.
BURN. BURN.
YES, BURN. BURN!
BURN. BURN.
BURN. BURN.
THE DARK, THE DARK!
TURN OFF THE LIGHT!
TURN OUT THE LIGHT!
Matthias: GET THOSE LIGHTS OUT!
GIVE US THE DARK!
THE DARK!
GIVE US THE DARK!
GIVE US THE DARK!
BRING BACK THE DARK!
WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
SHUT UP.
HE'S GONE! HE'S GONE!
HE'S GONE. HE'S GONE.
FIND HIM. FIND HIM.
FIND HIM! THAT'S AN ORDER!
FIND HIM!
GO, MAN, GO!
MOVE!
MOVE!
ALL RIGHT, YOU SON OF A
BITCH, YOU JUST HOLD TIGHT.
UP AGAINST THE WALL, YOU MOTHER.
UH-UH. DON'T TURN. JUST STAND.
WHEN I WANT YOU
TURNED, I'LL TURN YOU.
ON OR OFF, UP OR
AROUND, I'LL TURN YOU.
NOW COOL IT!
PUT YOUR HANDS OUT.
OUT! WAY OUT ABOUT SHOULDER HIGH
LIKE THEY'RE GONNA
CRUCIFY YOU, BABY.
MATTER OF FACT, THEY
WERE GONNA ROAST ME.
WHY'D YOU STOP 'EM?
DON'T LOOK A GIFT
HORSE IN THE MOUTH.
YOU GOT ANY MORE
QUESTIONS, FAT HEAD?
MY NAME IS ROBERT.
YOUR NAME'S MUD.
DOWN THE TUNNEL!
DOWN THE TUNNEL!
AFTER HIM!
BACK, BACK!
OK, HEY, HOLD IT.
OPEN IT UP.
YOU. YOU'RE THE...
YOUR LIVING PLAYTEX DOLL.
NOW COME ON, MAN. GET THE BIKE.
MOVE! PULL IT OUT!
YOU REALLY PLAN AHEAD.
IT HELPS. NOW LOOK,
YOU GOTTA RUN THIS
THING, YOU UNDERSTAND?
BUT I'M THE RAMROD.
THOSE STADIUM LIGHTS.
HOW'D YOU MANAGE THAT?
DUTCH KNOWS ALL
ABOUT THAT STUFF.
DUTCH?
COME ON, MAN. GET ON THE BIKE.
DON'T SCREW UP.
I KNOW HOW TO ROLL,
BUT IT'S HARD ON THE ELBOWS.
AND IF YOU JUST HAVE
TO PLAY JAMES BOND,
I'LL BUST YOUR ASS.
YES, MA'AM.
DON'T LET HIM GET AWAY!
AAH!
GOD DAMN IT, LEFT,
AND STEP ON IT!
MOVE! STEP ON IT!
MOVE! DOWN THE TUNNEL, MAN.
HIT IT. THEY'RE BLINDED.
OK, BABY.
HITCH UP YOUR DRAWERS.
AAH!
I THOUGHT WE'D GOTTEN PAST THAT.
YOU'RE SWEET.
IT'S OK, TOMMY!
THIS IS THE MAN,
AND I MEAN THE MAN.
BUT HE'S COOL. IT'S OK.
COME ON, MAN.
THIS IS IT.
ALL THERE IS.
AT LEAST ALL WE KNOW OF.
THERE ARE OTHERS, I GUESS,
IF MATTHIAS AND HIS BRETHREN
HAVEN'T KILLED THEM ALL.
I DIDN'T KNOW THERE
WERE ANY LEFT.
BETWEEN THE FAMILY AT
NIGHT AND YOU IN THE DAYTIME
SHOOTING AT ANYTHING THAT MOVED,
MAN, WE HAD TO STAY LOW.
I HAD TO STAY ALIVE.
THE MAD BOMBER HIMSELF.
AND I SEE YOU GOT
THE MAD SCIENTIST.
YOU KNOW ME?
AND ABOUT YOUR WORK.
MY WORK?
BIO-WAR PATHOLOGY PARAMETERS
IN URBAN AND SEMI-URBAN
ENVIRONMENTS.
JOURNAL OF MILITARY MEDICINE,
JUNE, 1974.
INCREMENTAL EFFECTS,
COUNTERMEASURES TO TOXIC AGENTS
AND LIQUID SYSTEMS DELIVERY.
MICROBIOLOGICAL LETTERS,
JANUARY, 1975. REMEMBER?
THAT'S A NICE RECITATION.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS?
I WAS A MED SCHOOL SENIOR
WHEN THEY SCRATCHED THE WORLD.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,
I WAS GONNA APPLY TO BIO-WAR
LABS FOR MY POST-DOC, BUT...
THE NEXT TERM NEVER CAME.
I'M SORRY YOU DIDN'T MAKE IT.
SORRY THE WORLD DIDN'T MAKE IT.
COME ON. LET'S GO
SEE ABOUT RICHIE.
RICHIE?
LISA'S BROTHER. HE LOOKS
LIKE HE'S ABOUT TO GO OVER.
WELL, YOU'VE ONLY
SEEN THE TERTIARY CASES,
MATTHIAS AND HIS PEOPLE.
WE'RE NOT THAT FAR GONE,
BUT WE'RE ON THE ROAD.
THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD...
WE'RE OFF TO SEE THE WIZARD.
WHEN IT HIT, THE OLDER
PEOPLE EITHER DIED OUTRIGHT
OR WENT TO THE THIRD
STAGE PRETTY FAST...
WELL, YOU KNOW,
BLINDNESS IN LIGHT, ALBINISM,
PSYCHOTIC ILLUSIONS,
OCCASIONAL STAGES OF TORPOR,
LIKE MATTHIAS AND
THE THINGS OUT THERE.
WELL, WHAT ABOUT ALL OF YOU?
WHY DIDN'T YOU GET IT?
I DON'T KNOW.
I MEAN, SOME OF
THE YOUNGER PEOPLE
HAVE A KIND OF, UH...
RESISTANCE.
I DON'T KNOW, WE JUST HOLD OUT.
ONE OR TWO OF US ARE
A BIT LIGHT-SENSITIVE,
BUT OTHERWISE, WE'RE ALL RIGHT.
BUT RICHIE'S DEFINITELY GOING.
HE'S ADVANCED SECONDARY.
INCIDENTALLY,
MIND TELLING ME WHAT
KEEPS YOU IN THE CITY?
YOU SOME KIND OF
EXTERMINATOR, HUH?
I GUESS MAYBE YOU
COULD CALL IT THAT.
VERY COMPLICATED, DOCTOR.
STILL, YOU KNOW, IF IT WAS ME,
I'D BE LIVING ON
TOP OF CITY HALL,
OR BETTER THAN
THAT, THE OXY TOWER
INSTEAD OF THAT
PILLBOX I HEAR YOU'RE IN.
WELL, THAT'S WHERE I LIVE.
IT'S WHERE I USED TO LIVE.
IT'S WHERE I'M GOING TO LIVE,
AND NOT MATTHIAS NOR HIS FAMILY
NOR ANY OTHER SON OF A BITCH
IS GOING TO MAKE ME LEAVE.
HE'S NO BETTER.
HIS FEVER IS HIGH.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
SHUT UP. KEEP OUT OF THE WAY.
SIT DOWN.
SIT DOWN.
HE COULD STAY
LIKE THIS FOR WEEKS,
OR HE COULD GO OVER
10 MINUTES FROM NOW.
I'VE SEEN THEM GO BEFORE.
I ALMOST GOT KILLED
BY A FRIEND OF MINE
LAST SUMMER.
HE WENT OVER
WITHOUT ANY WARNING.
WHEN I LOOKED AWAY, HIS...
FACE WAS GETTING PALE
AND HIS HAIR WAS GOING.
WHEN I LOOKED BACK...
HE DIDN'T HAVE ANY EYES.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
I DID JUST LIKE
YOU'D DO, DOCTOR.
I KILLED HIM.
IF THE MASONIC RITES ARE OVER,
HOW ABOUT RICHIE?
WE'LL TAKE HIM TO MY PLACE.
I GOT NEARLY
EVERYTHING I NEED THERE.
IS THERE ANYTHING
YOU CAN DO, DOCTOR?
I MEAN, SEEING HOW YOU'VE LOST
OVER 200 MILLION PATIENTS.
I DON'T HAVE IT.
HAVE WHAT?
THE PLAGUE. I'M IMMUNE.
EVERYBODY HAS IT.
EVERYBODY BUT ME.
THERE WAS A VACCINE...
JUST AN EXPERIMENTAL BATCH.
WE WEREN'T SURE IT WOULD WORK.
WHY, IF YOU'RE
IMMUNE, YOU COULD...
THAT'S RIGHT.
MY BLOOD MIGHT BE A SERUM.
AT THE STAGE THAT BOY'S IN,
MY ANTIBODIES COULD
REVERSE THE WHOLE PROCESS...
STOP IT.
CHRIST, YOU COULD
SAVE THE WORLD.
SCREW THE WORLD.
LET'S SAVE RICHIE.
NO, NOTHING WITH DRUGS.
IT'S GOT TO BE THE SERUM.
COULDN'T YOU
RECONSTITUTE THE VACCINE?
HA HA! YOU GOT ANY IDEA
HOW MANY STEPS IT TAKES
TO SYNTHESIZE AN ANTIBIOTIC
SPECIFIC FOR THIS BUG?
GOT THE PICTURE.
I'VE TRIED. GOD
KNOWS I'VE TRIED.
ONCE I CAUGHT ONE OF
MATTHIAS' PEOPLE LAST YEAR
AND TRIED EVERYTHING
ON THE SHELVES ON HIM.
AAH!
HE DAMN NEAR KILLED ME,
AND THEN HE DIED
VERY BADLY HIMSELF.
SO IT'S VERY TIGHT, DOCTOR...
VERY TIGHT.
BRING HIM IN HERE.
IN THE BED.
I SEE WHERE YOU DO
YOUR HEAVY THINKING.
WELL, ONE SIDE KEEPS
THE OTHER SIDE GOING.
CAN'T HAVE ONE
WITHOUT THE OTHER.
I'M A NARCISSIST.
HOW DO YOU DO?
THE GUEST ROOM.
YOU WEREN'T EXPECTING US?
I WASN'T EXPECTING YOU.
WELL, HOLD THESE.
I'M GOING TO NEED SOME HELP.
WELL, LISA WILL HAVE TO DO.
I HATE TO LEAVE THE KIDS
TOO LONG BY THEMSELVES.
THEY GET SPOOKED.
HEY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH.
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE KIDS,
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY?
NO. WHAT DO SOME
OF THE KIDS SAY?
THEY SAY THE FAMILY COMES
IN THE NIGHT WHEN IT'S DARK.
THEY SAY THEY'RE GOING
TO COME SOME NIGHT
AND TAKE RICHIE'S SOUL
AND TIE IT ALL UP IN A BAG
AND GIVE IT TO THE DEVIL.
IS THAT REALLY TRUE?
DO YOU KNOW IF
THAT'S REALLY TRUE?
NO. WE WOULDN'T LET THAT HAPPEN.
NOT A CHANCE.
ARE YOU GOD?
LET'S FIND OUT IF HE'S
EVEN A DOCTOR FIRST
BEFORE WE GO PROMOTING HIM, OK?
OK.
Lisa: HOW ABOUT A BREAK?
WELL...
YOUR MOVE.
I JUST MADE MY MOVE.
WHERE'D YOU GET THAT DRESS?
THE SAME PLACE
YOU GOT THAT JACKET.
I HUSTLED IT.
THE HOUSE FUZZ WAS ON VACATION.
Matthias: NEVILLE.
NEVILLE!
HIS VOICE.
I'LL NEVER GET USED TO IT,
TO HEARING IT.
SOMETHING...
WE WERE WITH THEM
FOR A WHILE, YOU KNOW?
WITH MATTHIAS?
YOU WERE A PART OF THAT FAMILY?
WHEN IT HAPPENED,
WHEN EVEN THE ARMY FELL APART,
AND THERE WAS NOBODY LEFT
EXCEPT THOSE LIVING
ALONE LIKE ANIMALS,
MATTHIAS WOULD WALK
THE STREETS AT NIGHT
RINGING A BELL.
RICHIE AND I, WE HAD US A PLACE
IN THE BACK OF A
FURNITURE STORE.
ONE DAY, WE HEAR THIS BELL.
SO WE GO OUT TO SEE,
AND THERE ARE PEOPLE THERE.
WE THOUGHT WE WERE ALONE,
JUST ME AND RICHIE WITH
MILLIONS OF CORPSES.
BUT THERE WAS MATTHIAS
AND OTHER PEOPLE.
WELL, ANYWAY,
HE GAVE US THE FAMILY...
FOR A WHILE.
WE HELPED WITH THE BURIALS,
WE HELPED WITH THE BURNINGS,
BUT WHEN IT WAS OVER
AND THE WORST WAS PAST,
THEY BEGAN TO KNOW
HOW DIFFERENT WE WERE...
OUR SKIN, OUR EYES.
ONE DAY WHILE THEY WERE ASLEEP,
WE JUST TOOK OFF.
HOW'D YOU GET MIXED UP
WITH, UH, DUTCH AND HIS GROUP?
OH, DUTCH CAME OUT ONE DAY
AND SAID HE WAS WITH
THE CENSUS BUREAU.
NOW, WHAT YOU THINKING?
WELL, YOU KNOW
THE, UH, OLD SONG...
IF YOU WERE THE ONLY
GIRL IN THE WORLD,
AND I WERE THE ONLY BOY, OK,
BUT, UH, UNTIL THEN
DON'T BOTHER ME?
I GUESS I'M THE ONLY BOY.
THE FAMILY.
GOD, I FORGOT TO KEEP THE
FUEL UP IN THE GENERATOR.
THEY'LL BE INTO THE GARAGE!
YOU STAY HERE.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
COMFORT.
YOU MAY NOT HAVE
TIME, BROTHER ZACHARY.
MORE TIME THAN
NEVILLE HAS, BROTHER.
WHEN HE COMES BACK
UP, I'LL BE WAITING FOR HIM.
TAKE CARE. HE HAS
THE LUCK OF A DEVIL.
I KNOW.
BUT THIS TIME ITS
LUCK HAS RUN OUT.
ROBERT!
AAH!
YOU CAN TAKE DOWN THAT
SERVICE FLAG NOW, MOTHER.
MAN, DON'T SCARE ME LIKE THAT.
HEY.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH. YEAH, I'M OK.
NOW, WHAT'S THIS
STUFF ABOUT ME BEING
THE ONLY GIRL IN THE WORLD?
DO YOU KNOW IT'S
BEEN A LONG, LONG TIME?
I'M NOT SURE I REMEMBER
HOW THIS GOES.
HOW IS HE?
OH, HE'S STABLE.
NO LOSS OF PIGMENT
SINCE YESTERDAY,
AND VITAL SIGNS ARE STEADY.
HE'S COMFORTABLE.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S BEEN A LONG, LONG
TIME SINCE I'VE HAD A PATIENT.
WELL, DOCTOR, YOU
CERTAINLY HAVEN'T LOST
YOUR BEDSIDE MANNER.
IS THAT SO?
ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?
WHAT IS IT?
BIRTH-CONTROL PILLS.
YEAH.
THERE WE ARE.
I CAN MAKE TOXINS
FROM BOTH OF THESE.
Neville: ALL RIGHT,
NOW THE TOURNIQUET.
GOOD AND TIGHT.
THAT'S FINE.
GIVE ME THE SWAB.
ALL RIGHT, YOU GET THE NEEDLE.
GO AHEAD.
ALL RIGHT, TAKE
OFF THE TOURNIQUET.
WILL ONE BOTTLE BE ENOUGH?
IT'S GENUINE 160 PROOF
OLD ANGLO-SAXON, BABY.
Neville: I WAS A VERY PECULIAR
DOCTOR IN THOSE DAYS,
TRYING TO FIND TREATMENTS
FOR DISEASES THAT
HADN'T EXISTED,
TILL OTHER DOCTORS
INVENTED THEM.
NOW I'M THE ONLY GAME IN TOWN.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH.
I'LL DRAW BLOOD
AS OFTEN AS I CAN.
WE'LL JUST HAVE TO
KEEP PUMPING IT INTO HIM.
HOW LONG DO YOU
THINK IT'LL TAKE?
I DON'T KNOW.
I REALLY DON'T KNOW.
BUT IF IT DOES WORK, THEN RICHIE
WILL BE THE SOURCE OF
EVEN MORE ANTIBODIES.
THE MORE PEOPLE WE INJECT,
THE MORE SERUM WE'LL GET.
AND WHEN THAT'S DONE...
WHEN THAT'S DONE,
BABY, WE WILL PULL OUT.
WE'LL TAKE WHAT WE NEED
AND HEAD FOR THE MOUNTAINS.
OUT OF RATS' ALLEY,
WHERE THE DEAD
MEN LOST THEIR BONES.
T.S. ELIOT TURNS
OUT TO HAVE BEEN
JUST AS GOOD A PROPHET
AS HE WAS A POET.
THE WASTE LAND.
I WONDER IF IT COMFORTS HIM.
I WONDER IF I'LL EVER SEE A
STREAM FULL OF FISH AGAIN.
WHERE'D YOU EVER SEE
A STREAM FULL OF FISH
IN HARLEM?
AT THE MOVIES.
DOES THAT HURT?
A LITTLE, YEAH.
IT HURTS. HOW ABOUT OFF, MAN?
TURN IT OFF.
A WEEK AGO, THAT MUCH LIGHT
WOULD HAVE SENT
YOU RIGHT UP THE WALL.
I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT.
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER BATCH OF
THIS SERUM READY IN A FEW HOURS,
THEN WE'LL LOAD UP THAT
LAND ROVER IN THE GARAGE,
PICK UP DUTCH AND THE KIDS,
AND HEAD FOR THE HILLS.
HOW ABOUT THE SIERRAS?
YEAH. OH, BOB.
OH, BABY, WE MADE
IT. WE REALLY MADE IT.
I THINK I'LL GO PICK UP
SOME STUFF FOR THE TRIP.
IS THERE ANYTHING
SPECIAL YOU FANCY, BABY?
WHAT I PICK UP TODAY,
YOU'RE GOING TO BE SEEING
FOR A LONG, LONG TIME.
WHY DON'T YOU SKIP IT?
OH, HONEY.
THE MOST DANGEROUS THING
I EVER RAN INTO IN ONE
OF THOSE STORES WAS YOU.
WELL, YOU WATCH YOURSELF.
YOU STAY ON THE GROUND FLOORS,
NEAR THE DOORS,
AND IN THE LIGHT.
IF YOU SEE ANYTHING, SHOOT.
CHECK.
HONEY, CAN I BORROW
YOUR CREDIT CARDS?
Richie: IS THAT GONNA BE FOR ME?
NO. YOU DON'T NEED ANY MORE.
THIS IS FOR LISA.
ONE OF THESE DAYS, SHE MAY...
START TO TURN?
THAT'S ALWAYS A POSSIBILITY.
IT'S BEST TO CATCH
THESE THINGS EARLY.
THEN YOU DON'T THINK THE
SERUM WOULD WORK FOR...
TERTIARY CASES?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
LIKE MATTHIAS. THE FAMILY.
IT'S HARD TO SAY.
WELL, WOULD IT?
COME ON, HELP ME WITH THIS.
PUT THE CAP ON THAT.
PUT IT IN THE REFRIGERATOR.
I CAN'T AFFORD TO
GIVE MORE BLOOD
TILL I GET CLEAR OF THIS TOWN.
LATER ON,
IF YOUR BLOOD COUNT COMES UP
AND YOU PUT ON SOME WEIGHT,
WE CAN USE YOUR
BLOOD TO MAKE SERUM.
YEAH?
YEAH. NOW GO EAT YOUR SOUP.
Richie: YOU KNOW, SOMEONE
OUGHT TO DO SOMETHING
ABOUT THOSE PEOPLE.
HOW ABOUT IT?
YOU GONNA GIVE THEM THE SERUM?
FAT CHANCE.
HOW COME?
WELL, WE'D HAVE TO
HANG AROUND HERE
FOR A FEW MORE
MONTHS, FOR ONE THING.
FOR ANOTHER THING,
THEY'RE HOMICIDAL MANIACS,
FOR GOD SAKES.
HEY, MAN, THEY'RE HUMANS.
I MEAN, THEY'RE SICK, YOU KNOW?
THEY'RE VERMIN.
OK, THEN.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO
CURE THEM, THEN KILL THEM.
IF I JUST KNEW WHERE THEY'RE AT.
THE OLD COURT
BUILDING, THAT'S WHERE.
IN THE CIVIC CENTER.
THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE HOLED UP.
YOU'RE KIDDING ME.
THEY'RE THERE.
WELL, GO ON.
AIN'T YOU GONNA GO
DOWN THERE AND ZAP 'EM?
WHY NOT?
YOU'VE BEEN LOOKIN' TO KILL THEM
FOR PRACTICALLY 2
WHOLE YEARS NOW.
EITHER KILL THEM OR
CURE THEM, DAMN IT.
NO NEED.
THEY'RE HALF DEAD RIGHT NOW.
YOU KNOW WHAT, MISTER?
YOU'RE HOSTILE.
YOU JUST DON'T BELONG.
NICE OF YOU TO LET
ME HANG AROUND.
AT TIMES, YOU SCARE ME
MORE THAN MATTHIAS DOES.
HEY, DUTCH!
HOW'S RICHIE?
BEAUTIFUL. IT WORKS.
IT WORKS. IT WORKS?
IT WORKS!
IT WORKS! IT WORKS!
HA HA HA!
IT WORKS!
OH, MY GOD, IT'S A
BEAUTIFUL WORLD!
DON'T YOU THINK WE OUGHT
TO DO SOMETHING WITH IT?
DAMN RIGHT.
I'VE GOT SOME BLOOD DRAWN
TO MAKE UP SERUM FOR LISA.
WE'LL START ON THE REST
OF YOU IN A WEEK OR SO.
HA HA HA!
CAN YOU HAVE ALL THOSE KIDS
READY TO LEAVE TOMORROW?
GONNA TAKE ME A
LITTLE RIDE IN THE SUN.
WHERE ARE WE GOING?
AWAY, THAT'S ALL. JUST AWAY.
SOMEPLACE NOBODY
EVER BOTHERED WITH...
A RIVER NOBODY EVER DAMMED,
A MOUNTAIN NOBODY EVER
BUILT ANY BLOODY FREEWAYS TO,
WHERE EVERYTHING WE DO WILL
BE THE FIRST TIME IT EVER HAPPENED.
YEAH, YOU GOT IT.
THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
JUST LIKE IN THE
BEGINNING OF THE WORLD.
LIKE WE WERE
STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN
IN THE GARDEN OF EDEN!
ONLY THIS TIME, WE DON'T
TRUST NO FRIGGIN' SNAKE!
RICHIE?
WELL, SCOUT, I WONDER IF
WE'RE GONNA HAVE ROOM FOR YOU.
RICHIE!
"GOING TO FIND
OUT WHO'S RIGHT..."
"YOU OR ME."
WELL, RICHARD, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I CAME TO HELP YOU.
YOU KNOW THE MAN.
NEVILLE?
THAT'S HIM, YEAH.
LISTEN, HE'S GOT A SERUM
FOR WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU.
AND IF YOU COULD JUST
TALK TO HIM, GET WITH HIM,
THEN EVERYBODY COULD BE...
YES? EVERYBODY COULD BE WHAT?
EVERYONE, WELL...
EVERYBODY COULD BE NORMAL AGAIN.
I SEE.
YOU MEAN WE COULD
BE AS WE WERE BEFORE?
YEAH, I GUESS SO.
THE WAY WE WERE.
THE WAY WE WERE.
THAT'S WHAT NEVILLE
THINKS WE WANT?
IS THAT WHY HE SENT YOU?
HE DIDN'T SEND ME. HE...
SILENCE!
OH, YES, HE SENT YOU...
TO OFFER US SOMETHING
FROM HIS WORLD,
TO CHANGE US BACK TO
THE CREATURES WE WERE.
A TRICK.
A TRICK TO WEAKEN OUR RESOLVE.
I WAS ALMOST LIKE
YOU, BUT HE SAVED ME.
HE BROUGHT ME BACK,
AND HE WANTS US ALL
TO GO AWAY FROM HERE.
YOU HAVE BEEN DAMNED,
RICHARD, DON'T YOU SEE THAT?
DON'T YOU?
PREPARE THE FAMILY.
TONIGHT...
I THINK NEVILLE MIGHT COME OUT.
TONIGHT.
All: TONIGHT.
TONIGHT...
TONIGHT...
TONIGHT...
All: THE FAMILY IS ONE.
Matthias: THE FAMILY IS ALL.
THE FAMILY IS ALL.
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD.
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
THE FAMILY.
THE FAMILY.
THE FAMILY!
THE FAMILY!
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD!
WE HAVE CLEANSED THE WORLD.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OUTSIDE THE FAMILY
THERE IS NOTHING AT ALL.
OH, MY GOD.
LISA?
LISA?
YES, ROBERT?
LISA, ABOUT RICHIE...
I KNOW, ROBERT.
YOU KNOW?
MATTHIAS TOLD ME.
IT WAS NECESSARY.
MY GOD.
LISA...
COME IN, NEVILLE.
SOUNDS STRANGE, DOESN'T IT?
"COME IN, NEVILLE."
I THOUGHT WE MIGHT ARRANGE
A LITTLE ENTERTAINMENT FOR YOU
BEFORE TIME FOR CONCLUDING
OUR LITTLE BUSINESS.
MY BROTHERS...
WE WAITED FOR YOU, NEVILLE,
SO YOU COULD
SEE THIS... THE END.
THE END OF ALL YOU'VE DONE.
YOU SEE, NONE OF IT WAS REAL.
IT WAS ILLUSION... YOUR
ART, YOUR SCIENCE.
IT WAS ALL A NIGHTMARE,
AND NOW IT'S DONE.
FINISHED.
MY BRETHREN...
OUR TASK IS NEARLY COMPLETE.
HE WAS THE LAST OF THOSE
WHO BROUGHT THE
PUNISHMENT TO US.
WE HAVE CLEANSED
AND PURGED HIS WORLD.
NOW WE MUST BUILD.
BUILD COFFINS.
THAT'S ALL YOU'LL NEED.
BRING HIM.
ALL RIGHT, STAND BACK!
BACK UP!
LISA!
STOP HIM! DON'T
LET HIM GET AWAY!
IT'S 10 MINUTES TO SUNUP.
WE'LL HAVE TO CHANCE IT.
Matthias: LISA...
LISA...
MATTHIAS.
LISA...
LISA!
I WANT...
DAMN IT, IT'S JAMMED!
LISA!
I WANT YOU.
LISA!
I... WANT... YOU.
LISA, FOR GOD'S SAKES,
COME BACK IN THE LIGHT!
UNH!
THE BAD DREAM IS
OVER, FRIEND NEVILLE.
NOW WE CAN SLEEP IN PEACE.
UNH...
LISA!
ROBERT, YOU'RE EVIL.
I... I'M PART OF THE
FAMILY, ROBERT.
I'M SORRY.
THE FAMILY, ROBERT.
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
OH... ROBERT.
