[chuckles]

[grunts]
[heavy breathing]

[woman] Surface team, do you copy?

[man over radio] Copy.

[woman] We're at the system's
furthest extreme,



just blasted through the rockfall
into the second chamber, about to--

[distant roar within the cave]

-[flapping wings]

[woman screaming] We've gotta
get out of here! We gotta get out!

[silence]

[soaring orchestral music]

[silence]

[school bell rings]

[whistle]



[claps] Ally.

[high pitch ringing]

[Ally] Dad always told me I was gifted,

the way I was able to adapt so quickly
to becoming deaf,

feeling those around me.

[muffled bus engine swoosh]

[imitates Ally mockingly]
My name is Ally.

Look at me everyone, I can read lips.

[high pitch ringing]

[Ally] Maybe not all those around me.

[guy laughs]

[man] So, we're going to have
to re-route the main drain,

which means we're going to have
to put in a whole new pumping station.

And that's not going to be cheap.

[man 2] Okay, so fix it.

[man 3] Oh, why don't you
cut the shit, Max?

-[Max] What was that?
-You heard me.

Wait.

Max, you recommended the engineer
who caused this problem, so--

And you guaranteed me a specific cost
for the work

upon your initial ground
inspection of the site.

[phone ringing]

[man] Okay,

we'll fix it.

[Max] Good.

[jackhammer thumping]

That guy's a prick.

Yeah, well, I can't afford to lose
any clients right now.

With all the jobs we've been doing?

Well, you know, college does not come
cheap and you'll find that out

when you settle down
and have children of your own.

Why do I have to?

I live vicariously through you.

Ally pick a school yet?

Uh... no, but I'm hoping it will be NYU.

Good school.

Yeah, it's a great school.

Real close to home.

Yes. Yes.

[jackhammer continues thumping]

[laughs] Look, I don't want her going
halfway across the country.

-She's not ready for that
.-Oh, she's not ready?

-No.
-[phone rings]

Excuse me.

Hello?

Hey, you busy?

I'm just leaving work.

[woman] Could you please stop

and pick up mom's prescriptions
on the way home?

Yeah, sure. No problem.

[sighs]

And, Hugh,
a parent from Ally's school called,

she saw two boys

mocking her and joking around
behind her back.

Again?

[woman] Yeah, again.

But please don't say anything
to her, you know how she is,

-just don't say anything.
-Okay. Bye. Bye.

I need a drink,
you look like you could use a drink,

let's get some drinks.

Why, when I can live
vicariously through you?

[laughs] All right.

Hey.

Hi.

I told you not to buy him
all those damn electronics.

He's 12, mom. All the kids have them.

Yeah, I know, but he shouldn't.

[shooting in video game ]

Jude, no games before homework.

[click]

[Jude sighs]

But this primes my brain.

[high pitch ringing]

[ringing stops]

Hi, Rob.

How did you know that was me?

Your hands smell like Twinkies.

I washed them.

-Okay.
-I did.

[both chuckle]

Can I walk with you for a while?

Sure.

[police siren wailing]

My parents are taking me
to look at cars this weekend.

[gasps] Really?

Yeah.

If it was up to my parents,

I'd never drive a car
for the rest of my life.

That's no big deal,
I'll just pick you up every day.

Deal.

Deal.

[police sirens continues]

[shouting] Ally's home!

[dog growls]

[gasps] Hi, buddy. [chuckles]

How's my boy?

Hey, dweeb.

Butt face.

[kisses]

Hi, mom.

Where have you been?

Why are you so late?

[Ally] I walked.

You walked by yourself?

No, I walked with Rob.

[mom] That's the second time this week.

[Jude shouting] That's because she wants
to bone him!

-[shouting] Jude!
-Who cares?

You should have texted me, Ally.

How do I know where you are?

We're just friends, mom.

[sarcastically] Right.

Have you kissed him?

[shouting] Mom!

-[dog barks]
-I think she kissed him.

[whispering] She better not have.

[dog growls]

[high pitch ringing]

[muffled barking]

[suspenseful music]

[ringing stops]

[bird chirping]

[Ally] Everyone has their own story,

-where they were when it happened..
-[laughing]

...what they were doing.

[helicopter engine roaring]

[Ally] This is how it happened for us,

this is our story.

[high pitch ringing slowly fading]
[helicopter engine roaring continues]

[surprised] Grandma!

Ooh...

[whispering] This is awkward.

You know, these aren't mine.

[chuckles]

[grandma] You know your mother,
she will ground me indefinitely.

[whispering] I won't tell.

[grandma] Thank you, sweetheart.

I love you.

[kisses]  [chuckles]

-Go on, off to bed.
-[Ally chuckles]

-[grandma laughing]
-[distant sirens wailing]

[sighs]

-[mom] Then again I'm not telling...
-[Hugh] I know.

-[high pitch ringing]
-[Ally] Three years ago,

I lost my grandparents

and my hearing.

-[tire squealing]
-[glass shattering]

But somehow, I feel like it's my parents
who lost the most.

[Hugh] I know, but as her mom
we cannot...

[mysterious music]

Hey, do you sleep with that thing?

Hey, dad.
Hi.

So, who is he?

Oh, my God, Dad!

I'm your father, I'm supposed
to know these things. Come on.

Mom freaked out on me.

Really? Is that what happened?

You guys are afraid
to let me leave the house. It's stupid.

We worry about you.

Well, you shouldn't,
because I'm perfectly fine.

[Hugh] Okay.

So is he a nice guy or...

-[Ally sighs] Yes.
-[chuckles] Yeah?

He's really nice.
He's even learning to sign.

I like him already.

Dad, what?

What? No.

So, how is everything, okay?
How was school today?

It was okay.

[Hugh] Good.

You know you can talk to me
about anything?

I know.

Okay, don't stay up too late.

Love ya.

[door closes]

[dog panting]

[dog stops panting]
[mouths] You need to wake up.

-[helicopter engine roaring]
-Something's happening!

What's going on?

[muffled helicopter engines roaring]

-[door closes]
-[reporter] Unprecedented proportions...

What's happening?

-Is it terrorists?
-[Jude] Uncle Glenn!

[mom] They don't know.

[TV reporter] ...limiting all media
from entering the affected areas.

But New York One can now confirm

that the cities of Pittsburgh
and Philadelphia have both been hit,

the number of smaller town attacks
continuing to climb.

First they say it's terrorists
and they say it's chemicals.

[TV reporter] Maryland and West Virginia.
Built up locations, areas...

-[Glenn] Try another channel.
-...seem to be...

...who insist the infestation
is under control.

Images on social media
are telling a much different story.

We'd like to warn our audience the images
you are about to see are graphic.

-[sirens wailing]
-[screaming]

Dad?

It's okay. It's fine.

[male TV reporter] Another video posted
just moments ago

was shot inside one of the affected areas

and has since gone viral.

[loud screeching]

[man screams]

What the hell does that mean?
"Don't make noise."

-[banging]
-[screams]

[male reporter] ...urging people
to stay in their homes...

-Stay here.
-[reporter] ...and to stay silent.
National Guard Units
have been deployed to all affected...

[airplanes engine roars]

Shit, man.

Everybody, let's do what they say.

Put your phones on silent, okay?

[mom] What's happening?

I don't know.

[male reporter]
...scientists exploring the cave,

blasted through an ancient rockfall

sealed off for millions of years.

-[screaming]
-[flapping]

What the?

[screaming]

Jesus Christ.

[clanking]

[male reporter]
And close all windows and doors.

Do not make noise. Do not attempt to...

All right, you hang tight,
I'll be right back.

-Where are you going?
-I'm gonna get some gear.

[stutters] You want to stick around
while a million of those things show up?

No, but we're supposed to just stay here
and stay silent.

Right.

Then the cities are the worst place to be,
aren't they?

[male reporter] Do not make noise.

Do not attempt to drive.

Mom, if you're not up to this,
then we can stay.

There are plenty of people
waiting this out in their homes.

No.

You do me a favor,
put these with your things.

Hide them as best you can.

-I don't want the kids to see.
-Okay.

They're all that matters now.

-Hey, you got room for this?
-Yeah.

What's that?

[cocks gun]

Tactical supplies.

Whoa! Can I go with Uncle Glenn?

Um...

I'll take care of him.

Okay.

Stay away from those.

-I'll follow you.
-Okay, let's go.

[airplane engine roars]
-[tinkling]
-[light buzzing]

[baby crying]

-[baby crying]
-[woman shushing]

What are you doing?

[whispering] Give me the baby.

-Come on.
-[woman] Please, don't!

-Oh, my God.
-[baby cries louder]

Someone help me, please.

I'll go with her.
[baby continues crying]

[whispering] Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

-[baby whimpering]
-[woman gasps]

[heavy breathing]

[soft clangor]

[shushing]

[whispering] Hi.

[woman gasps]

[baby crying]
[distant screeching]

-Oh, no.
-[baby crying louder]

[screaming] Oh, my God.

[screams]

[silence]

[female reporter] A state of emergency
has been called for the entire

eastern seaboard,

with death tolls in all infested areas
being described as catastrophic.

The CDC is urging everyone west of
interstate 77 from Cleveland, south of...

-Are we doing the right thing?
-...to remain west of that line.

Do not approach...

-I don't know.
-[police sirens wailing]

[Rob over device] But where up north
are you gonna go?

I don't know.

Some place quiet.

You should leave too, you could follow us.

My parents said we're staying.

The news says better to stay put.

So much for car shopping, huh?

[chuckles]

Don't cry. I'm sure
this is all going to be over soon.

Um...

let's make a promise that we're going
to stay in touch with each other.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Promise?

Promise.

-Everybody just wait here, okay?
-[car door alarm beeping]

But Otis has to pee.

Al right, make it quick, okay?

[Otis whines softly]

[sirens wailing ]

[softly] Come on, Otis.

Hey.

Hey, I got this, you just watch him.

All right, okay.
[Hugh] Hey, how you doing, buddy?

I don't know.

Scared, I guess.

It's okay.

You're riding with Uncle Glenn, so...
He's a tough guy in times like this.

-Do you know how I met him?
-No.

[Hugh] We went to high school together,

and after school these three guys,
these lacrosse players, they...

sort of all came up to me
and they were going to bully me.

And, um, I... I wasn't
going to fight them,

so I tried to talk my way out of it.

Before I knew it, he shows up...

grabs one of the guys and head-butts him.

-And the guy drops right to the ground.
-[Jude laughs]

And the other two guys
just kind of ran away.

And we've been best friends ever since.

I wish I was that brave.

I have a feeling you might be.

All right? So, don't worry.

-[dog barking]
-[gasps]

[high pitch ringing]

[muffled barking]

-[shouting] Shut up! Shut the dog up!
-[dogs keeps barking]

She's deaf.

-She can't hear you!
-[Hugh] Okay, okay, don't shoot!

-What do you want?
-Just shut up!

-[Hugh] Okay, all right!
-[loud gunshot]

-[shouting] Okay! Tell me what you want.
-[man] Shut up!

-[Hugh] All right. What do you want?
-[man] Keys to your car.

-[Hugh] Okay.
-[shouting] Look, I'm not messing around!

Okay, okay.

Don't shoot, please. Please.

-[loud gunshot]
-[shouts]

[dog barking]

-[man] Ugh!
-[dog growling]

-[man screaming]
-Oh, oh...

[Glenn] Everybody in the car.

[man moaning]

[grunting] Please, man.
Please, man. Please!

Don't leave me here, man. Please!
Those things are gonna catch up to me.

[shouting] Please, don't leave me!

Please!

[intense percussion and brass music]
-[mom] What's he doing?
-[Hugh] I don't know.

[Hugh] What's going on?

-[Glenn] He...
-[Hugh] What?

-[Jude crying]
-Hey, hey, hey! You okay?

He's good.
He just wanted to be with you.

[mom] Hey!

It's okay, it's all right.

[Glenn] We got to go
Roads are going to get bad.

[Hugh] All right, all right.
Okay, all right. Thanks.

[mom] What are they saying?

They're calling them vesps
because of how they swarm.

Avispa means wasp in Spanish.

[mom] How could we not know
about them until now?

Well they got trapped in that cave,
whatever they were,

and then they became something else.

They're not supposed to be here.

-[screaming] Dad! Watch out!
-[tire squealing]

[Hugh] Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
Okay?

Yeah.

[siren wailing]

[cars honking]

[car door opens]

-[honking continues]
-[car door closes]

What do you think?

-Man, it's all jammed.
-I know.

Okay. Okay.

-You follow me.
-All right. Okay.

[male reporter over radio] This is
the emergency broadcast system,

if you are hearing this transmission,

the vesps are continuing to spread outward
from the cities

and north along the Hudson River.

Infested States now include
Pennsylvania, New York,

Maryland, West Virginia,
Rhode Island, and Massachusetts.

If you are residing
in any of these States,

do not attempt to flee.

-[metal crash]
-Whoa!

[mom] Whoa!

[phone rings]

[Hugh] Hey, what's up?

[Glenn over the phone] Listen, it's going
to get a little rough up ahead.

If anything looks too shoddy,
I'll stop and clear a path, okay?

Okay.

Just lead the way.

[Glenn] You got it, buddy.

What's the matter? Afraid that minivan
of yours couldn't keep-- Oh, shit!

-[Hugh] Hold on!
-[tire squeals]

-[screams]
-[glass shattering]

[dog barks] [whines softly]

-[shouting] Glenn?
-[car motor dying]

Glenn!

-Hey!
-[creaking]

-[Hugh] Hey!
-[Glenn grunts]

[Hugh] Glenn, hey.

Hey. Hey.

-[Hugh] Can you get out?
-[grunts and moans]

Hey, man, my...

my leg's stuck in here.
Okay. Call an ambulance, okay?

I'm going to pass out.

[Hugh] Okay, all right. We're going
to get you out of there, all right?

Just... I'm going to get you out.

All right.

-[metal rattling]
-We'll get you out.

-[Glenn] The kids okay?
-Yep. The kids are fine. Don't worry.

[Glenn screams]

-[busy phone signal]
-[Glenn groaning]

[Hugh grunts]

Okay. Sorry, it's all right.
It's jammed, sorry.

-I'll get you out, okay?
-[Glenn] You got to leave me.

You... [heavy breathing]

You got to go.
You got to get out of here.

[Hugh] Nope. [chuckles]
No, no, no.

We're going to wait with you,
I'm not leaving you here.

What you gonna wait for, man?
Those things to show up?

I'm not leaving you, okay?

[Glenn] The only way I'm getting out
of here is with cutters.

My guess is the fire department
is kind of busy right now.

Okay, all right.
Let me just find something to pry you out.

Okay? Just one second.

-No luck?
-[mom] No, nothing.

-[phone beeps]
-[Glenn] Oh, man.

[Hugh] Hang in.

[Glenn groans loudly]

[Hugh] Okay, just stay there.

-We'll get you out of here.

[Hugh] It's all right.

[Glenn] Hey, man.

[Glenn] Hugh?

Fuck! Yeah? Yeah, what?

Go get my guns.

-What?
-[Glenn] I need my guns.

-Why?

There you go, what do you...
You want the...

Here.

Here.

-[Glenn] Yeah.
-Okay? All right.

-[Hugh] Okay. Now, listen to me..
-[Glenn] Yeah.

[Hugh] I'm going to try again
to get you out of here, all right?

What are you doing?
Why do you want those?

I'll shoot you if you don't go,
that's what I'm gonna do.

You got to go take care of your family.

All right, I'm going to go,

we're going to go find somebody
with some cutters, okay?

We're going to get you out of here
and to a hospital, all right?
-[Glenn] Okay. Okay.
-We're going to be back very soon, okay?

-God damn, Hugh.
-[Hugh] It's okay.

[Hugh] I promise. I promise.

[Glenn] Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Come on, let's go. No luck?

Okay.

[cocks gun]

-[Ally] Is he dead?
-[mom] No.

[Hugh] No. He's not dead.
He's just hurt very badly. Let's go.

I'm sorry.

[whispering] You need to tell the kids.

I suspect Ally knows something,

but it's not right to keep it from Jude.
It's not.

[whispering] Their dog just died

and now I'm supposed to tell them
their grandmother's next?

I just about got us killed back there.

Did you get somewhere quiet?

-I think so.

Rob, where are your parents?

[panting] They're dead.

Rob, get out of there.

[tearfully] Rob, you can come here,
I'll explain how to find me.

[mouths] Hey, kiddo.

-What have we found out today?
-Nothing good.

[Ally sighs]

[whispering] A man was crucified
in Mississippi.

Okay.

[whispering] It's okay.

[both sigh]

[whispering] Without antibiotics
that infection's going to spread.

[whispering] Okay. So, we have
to find some. Are there any here?

-There's none, I've looked everywhere.
-Nothing?

Nothing.

Okay, so how long?

It depends on the person.

Okay, but you're a nurse. How long?

Without antibiotics, not long.

Okay.

[whispering] Why can't I go?

[whispering] No, you have to stay here
and take care of mom with grandma.

I'm sorry.

[Hugh sighs]

I wish Glenn was here.

Me, too.

There you go.

Okay.
Come here.

It's okay.

[Jude cries]

It's okay.

Okay.

[vesps screeching]

[flapping wings]

[soft chirping]

[metal clicks]

[soft rattling]

[louder screeching]

[gate creaks softly]

[loud screeching]
-[loud chattering]

[suspenseful music]

[mouths] Vesps?

Oh, okay. Come on.

[mysterious music]

[mouths] We have to go around back.

[mouths] Stay right behind me.

He's weird.

[mouths] No, it's okay.

[snarls]

[whispering] Let's go.

[whispering] You did good, mom.

[whispering] Yeah, not too shabby
for a field dressing, huh?

That's not what I meant.

I know.

[inhales deeply]
[door opens]

[whispering] They're back.

Stay here.

[pouring water]

[vesp screeching]

[gasps] [sighs]

[whispering] Jesus, Ally.

[sighs]

[whispering] CNN's on most of the time,
but it drops out now and then.

[whispering] Yeah, I know.
I can't get anything.

They're broadcasting
from a bunker somewhere.

-I don't know.
-Who, CNN?

They said that vesps
don't like intense cold.

People above the Arctic Circle,
they're surviving.

There's footage of dead vesps
in snow drifts.

You've seen that?

-Yeah, but there's something else.
-What?

They're calling it The Grey.

It's places where the electricity's
gone out and people are getting cut off

when their phone
and computer batteries die.

Like entire regions of the country
are being wiped off the map.

Jesus.

It's like we're back in the Dark Ages.

[Hugh whispering] I made this for you.

I think Uncle Glenn
would have wanted you to have it.

[whispering] Thank you, dad.

Just be... be careful with it, okay?

Just...

He's here.

-[mouths] What do they want?
-[whispering] I don't know.

[Hugh sighs]

[mouths] I'm going to go talk to him.

[mouths]
Aren't you going to take the gun?

[whispers] No.

[birds chattering]
[soft roaring]

[mouths] No, thank you.

-[wings flapping]

[creaking]

[thundering]

[soft snorting]

[whispering] I don't see anybody.

[Jude whispers] Dad!

[mom whispering] What is it?
[whispering] It's a little girl.

[mom] Let me look.

[sighs] Jesus.

All right, let her in.

[door closes]

[whispering] I think she's in shock.

Are you alone?

Are you okay? Why are you here?

[suspenseful music]

[moaning]

[whispering] What's your name?

It's okay.

[whispering] Hugh, look at her jaw.

[Hugh sighs]

[whispering] It's okay.

Oh, God.

Did they send you here?

[phone ringing]

[whispering] Dad!

[man grunts]

[melancholic music]

[striking] thunder]

[crackling fire]

[buzzing]

[Ally] We know the vesps
don't like the cold,

but will they evolve and adapt
like they did in the past?

I know I did.

[screeching]

[Ally] So, will the rest of humanity
evolve?

Will we adapt
to this new world of silence

and remember what it is
that separates us from them?

[grunts]

[Ally] Maybe.

I guess it's just a question
of which of the two species does it first.
