[Radio Operator] Good morning, darlings.
I'm Alpha One-Nine and here every day
to disseminate the dirt, destroy the disinformation
and hopefully, God willing, deliver a soupcon of hope.
It is day 592 since the outbreak of COVID-19 Delta
and you are listening the Doomsday Daily.
I'm part of the small but fierce network of radio ops
across this sad but so far undefeated country.
I believe that we are defeated, but we are still here,
so here's your news.
I would have loved being at that meeting
where the people in charge thought it would be
a good idea to take the healthy folks
and put them into the camps.
'Cause putting lots of people in camps,
that's always worked out so well in the past, right?
In Pennsylvania where the remaining isolation camp
is located reports are clogging the frequencies
verifying an infected person or a persons
entered Camp Bastion.
Almost all 20,000 people are dead.
Rumors are someone's planted a napalm in the area,
well, I would love to know who got their hands
on that kinda shit.
[people coughing] [light dramatic music]
[Man] What do we do here?
[muffled screaming] [people coughing]
[light dramatic music continues]
[man screams]
[man coughs]
[heavy breathing]
[Nurse] Your fever's gone.
That's impossible.
[grass rustling]
[crows cawing]
[ground rustling]
[crow cawing] [heavy breathing]
[Sarah] How far are we?
Less than a day.
We could be there tomorrow morning
if we push through all night.
[heavy breathing]
Sarah, what are you doing?
Food, Guy, we need food.
[Guy] Yeah, we'll find it.
We haven't eaten since yesterday, we haven't slept.
Come on, we can't sleep til we get to Ben's.
[Sarah panting] [light dramatic music]
[Sarah] Are you sure Ben will be there?
When his dad died he went a little nuts,
became something of a survivalist.
He started stockpiling things, fortifying his land.
[Guy coughs]
As long as he didn't get sick, he'll be there.
Over here.
[light dramatic music]
[heavy breathing]
Slow down, sis.
- I'm too hungry. - It has to hydrate.
No, I'm too hungry.
[heavy breathing] [light dramatic music]
You promise Ben will take us in?
He was my mentor at the bureau,
one of the best FBI agents I've ever seen.
He won't turn us away.
He might when he finds out who I am.
Listen, we had to run.
At least there we would've been running
from that nut job.
I know.
I know, I still can't figure out how he found out about you.
[both panting]
It was that nurse, I'm telling you.
She got all kinds of religious.
Like some kind of fanatic.
And he was her god.
[light dramatic music]
[crows cawing]
[rocks rustling] [light dramatic music]
[Man] Do you see anything?
[man hushes]
She's gotta be here somewhere!
- [engine rumbling] - What do we do?
How does he keep finding us?
It's been weeks.
- [gun popping] - Run!
[dramatic music]
[Marley] Don't shoot her, we need her alive.
You need to run.
No, what about you?
I have to protect you.
No, I'm not gonna let you die.
Yes, you are.
[light dramatic music] [Sarah panting]
You've known it was eventually gonna end this way.
[gun banging] [light dramatic music]
Keep running west until you find Route 21.
Stay off the roads.
Don't stop until you get to Ben's.
[gun banging] [light dramatic music]
Go!
[dramatic music]
[Marley] Get the girl!
[guns banging] [dramatic music]
[bullets clinking]
[body thuds]
[light dramatic music] [Sarah panting]
[Radio Operator] You know, I do feel sorry
for those who tried to run Camp Bastion.
I think it was the last place pretending to be civilization
as if COVID Prime, I just made that up,
wasn't bad enough, it just kept mutating,
getting stronger each time.
Things didn't get completely discombobulated
until the great collapse due to the lack
of healthy workers, which then caused the first
of the nuke plants to melt down.
Then no food, no supplies,
and you know what that led to; land pirates.
Marauders acting all rapey and pillagey
and the cities descending into chaos.
Survival of the vicious.
But I have a question.
What do the land pirates do when they've plundered
everything in the cities?
They go into the country where people
have stockpiles of stuff.
And we all know what that means, right?
We're back in the wild wild west.
[light dramatic music]
[birds chirping]
[light dramatic music continues]
[Ben sighs]
[muffled talking]
[Ben yawns]
[radio beeps]
In the "What Does It Matter Anyway?" Category,
they're saying at Camp Bastion survived.
Like Lazarus going for a stroll,
he just left death's door and he did not look back.
Now, this is, of course, something we haven't seen before
so you ask, "Did he just walk out of the camp"?
Why yes, yes he did.
After killing a couple of the caretakers,
and like any good messiah, he got himself some followers
and he's on a quest.
What and where?
No clue.
The big brains at the World Health Organization
said 1% of the infected could be asymptomatic.
So batten down the hatches, dial up the paranoia,
stranger danger, all that.
Watch out for unknowing carriers and deranged messiahs.
I'm not saying you might need to drop people you don't know,
but you might just need to drop people
that you don't know.
[gun clicks]
Like I tell ya, darlings, keep your asses home,
stockpile your food, make sure your guns are clean,
take care of yourselves.
With that, all right, I'm back tomorrow.
Maybe.
[ax thudding] [dramatic music]
[Owen] How much further?
We're close.
Do you think she could've gotten here already?
On foot she could've gone straight across the land.
She's either there or we'll be waiting for her.
When we get her we're gonna protect her, right?
What'd you think we'd do with her?
We're gonna breed her, it feels kinda cruel to me.
She's our hope, Owen.
This is how we make sure this planet keeps going.
But how many others are gonna be hunting for her too?
Shut the hell up!
We follow Aaron's plan without question.
Without hesitation.
He saw death and laughed at him.
And death set him free.
And now I'm the one who decides who lives and who dies.
Me.
I conquered this virus and every one of you
is still breathing because of me.
I kept the virus away from you, I pulled you all
out of the trash and made your lives whole.
I gave it order.
And I can make you un-whole just as fast.
Death gave me the sight, but it is only
the true believers who will reap the reward.
I will make everything right again through this girl.
Do any of you doubt me?
You're the boss.
Do any of you doubt me?
Yes, I am the boss.
[light dramatic music]
And why is that?
Because everyone is looking for this girl
but only I was able to track her.
[birds chirping]
And do you know why?
Because he showed me where to go
and he will show me what to do when she's in our hands.
[birds chirping] [light dramatic music]
[wood clattering]
[Ben panting]
[crow cawing]
[birds chirping]
[Ben sighs]
I'm starting to hear things.
It's been too quiet out here, Dad.
Starting to lose my mind.
[dramatic music] [birds chirping]
[birds squawking]
Hey, Ben.
Take a second.
Look how beautiful this is.
How lucky are we?
Yeah.
Small enough that I can keep my eye on you
and big enough that I don't have to see your ass every day.
Hey, I'm the one who's supposed to keep an eye on you.
I promised Mom I'd protect you, not the other way around.
It was a joke.
You losing the ranch was never a joke to her.
- Losing it? - Yeah.
We ain't gonna lose shit.
Your FBI pension is keeping us afloat
until things turn around.
[Ben sighs]
You'll see.
Things are never gonna turn around if
you keep blowing through your money the way you do.
Not now, Ben, please.
Just enjoy nature.
Have some fun for once.
It's never gonna be a good time for you, is it?
You just keep on running.
[light dramatic music]
[Dad hushes] [gun bangs]
[high pitched ringing] [Ben sighs]
[heavy breathing]
[gun clicks]
[birds chirping]
Hey.
Wake up.
Ben Grant.
Hey!
What name did you just say?
Ben Grant.
[bag rustling]
[birds chirping] [crow cawing]
Guy Hodges.
Damn.
[light dramatic country music]
Upstairs.
Go, first step.
[truck engine rumbling]
[light dramatic music]
[gun clicks]
[light dramatic music continues]
[door creaking]
[suspenseful music]
Howdy.
Name's Matthew.
What can I do for ya?
Why, you see, we've been living out of this thing
for awhile now and we're running out of supplies.
Any of you infected?
No, no, we're all good.
Can't help you.
Can't spare anything.
What'd you say your name was?
I didn't.
You should probably keep going.
I've searched for miles, I found nothing.
[light dramatic music]
Are you Heath Grant's son?
Don't I know you?
I don't think so, but it wouldn't surprise me.
Stop!
All right, all right.
What do you want?
Since we aren't armed, perhaps we could have
a conversation without the gun?
[light dramatic music continues]
Nope!
I know it's the end of the world but couldn't
you show us some decency?
I'll put mine down when she does.
Ah, that's my friend Marley.
You caught us.
A little insurance always comes in handy,
clearly you're a man who understands that.
As I said, I'll put mine down when she does.
Well, that's not gonna happen.
So we're gonna have to make due.
Now, listen, as my friend here mentioned,
we're gonna be relieving you of some supplies,
but more importantly I think you may have something
that belongs to me.
What would that be?
That would be a girl about yay high, dark hair.
[light dramatic music]
Haven't seen her!
Not exactly a time to be letting strangers into your home.
No, but maybe we could have a look around,
see if she's hiding on your property.
Why's she so important to you?
She's important to the future of mankind,
but that's all you need to know about that.
So, what do you say?
Can we have a look around and we look and we don't find her
we leave, no one gets hurt?
Except a girl.
If she's hiding out here somewhere.
[light dramatic music]
Look, I don't wanna kill anybody, but I'm done talking.
You have 30 seconds to get off my property!
That's a little abrupt.
[gun bangs]
[crows cawing] [gun clicks]
Go.
By the way, the ranch looks great.
Your father would be proud.
[truck engine rumbling]
[doors clanging]
Aaron!
We'll find her.
How do you know that guy?
I know of him from a former life.
His father was a gambler indebted to the organization
I worked for.
This is a sign.
Because if death didn't have a plan for me and that girl
then how did we end up here?
You could taste the lies coming from him.
She's there.
I'm sure of it.
And we're gonna make him pay for taking what's rightly ours.
[Matthew] We do whatever has to be done.
We turn around and go back.
We'll find her.
[light music] [birds chirping]
[Heath] What do you think?
[Ben] What?
What do you think?
[Ben scoffs]
I think it's a lot of work.
Well, if anyone can do it, it's you.
Come on, Benny, it'll be worth it.
How would it be worth it?
You've been out there in the real world.
Out there everyone is waiting to take something from ya.
What happens if this virus thing gets bad
like they're talking?
They're saying manufacturing might even shut down.
We have to protect the ranch,
we have to protect what's ours.
It's a huge piece of property.
It would take weeks, no months.
What else is there to do?
All I'm asking is to beef up the fence,
grab some more guns, I don't know,
build some more security around here.
Is this about those guys from the city?
No, it's about us.
[light dramatic music]
I have work to do.
We don't have a lot of time.
We can't trust anybody.
You sound like you're going crazy.
This land is all we have, Ben.
It's just me and you out here.
I mean, how would you feel if you didn't do it
and something happened to me?
Oh, Jesus, Dad, would you stop?
Nothing's gonna happen to you.
You're losing your fucking mind.
What the hell happened?
[Ben] What do you mean?
What kind of world do we live in
when a boy don't listen to his own father
or a boy don't have respect for his own father?
What am I supposed to respect?
Am I suppose to respect how you gamble away all your money?
Benny.
Am I supposed to respect how Mom used to sit up
every night not knowing if or when you'd come home?
If you were dead in a trash can?
Stop, don't say another word.
Okay, Dad.
[dramatic music]
You know, you tell me what I'm supposed to respect
and I'll start respecting it.
I gotta go to work.
[gun clicks] [dramatic music continues]
[truck engine rumbling]
Here we go.
[light dramatic music continues]
[gun clicks]
[dramatic music]
[gun bangs]
Get back inside!
Not a chance.
Hands!
I wanna see hands!
[dramatic music continues]
I know you're lying. Where's the girl?
We can talk about this!
There's nothing to talk about.
Providence brought us here.
And I told you, I don't have any girl.
I can hear the lie in your voice.
Like father, like son.
- [heavy breathing] - Fuck.
We can barter!
[Aaron] This isn't exactly a negotiation.
It should be!
Okay, you'd like to barter.
Well, all right, may I go first?
- Ready? - Ready.
Okay.
You can A, give us the girl, all your supplies
and let me burn your ranch to the ground.
Or B, try and fight at which point we will kill you
and take the girl anyway.
[heavy breathing]
And C?
Uh, A and B are your only options.
They're pretty limited.
Now you hear me out.
Okay.
Think about the long run.
If we fight we waste a whole lotta bullets
and we both know they're a hot commodity around here.
That they are.
I'll trade you food and supplies
in exchange for you leaving.
We forget this happened and go our separate ways.
Doesn't work for me.
You see, I am duty bound to save the earth
from this virus and I won't let anyone stop me.
So now what's gonna happen is we're gonna take everything
that you have and then we're gonna kill you anyway.
- [gun bangs] - Shit!
[dramatic music]
[guns banging] [bullets clinking]
Fuck! [dramatic music continues]
[guns banging]
[Ben grunts]
[bullets clinking] [dramatic music continues]
[Matthew cries]
Oh, God, stop it!
I will bitchslap you right through that wall.
[dramatic music continues]
[guns banging]
Your crying isn't helping anyone.
Jackson is dead!
Yes, he is dead, so grab a gun
and kill the son of a bitch who did it.
Where's your gun?
Go ahead.
[heavy breathing]
Go!
[dramatic music] [guns banging]
Stop.
Stop firing.
We're running out of ammo.
Matthew, how much do we have?
Close to out.
So, what are gonna do?
Well, we're not gonna keep doing this.
Jeez, there are five of us, there's one of him.
But he has ammo.
Well, then we make him run out.
Well how do we stop him from running back
to the house and getting more?
We shoot back.
Not a lot, not more than one bullet at a time.
Just keep him there.
[John] Until he runs out.
- Exactly. - And when we run out?
We deal with that when we get there.
Just worry about keeping him pinned down.
That's all we have to do.
[heavy breathing]
[light dramatic music] [gun clicks]
[bullets clinking]
[Ben panting]
[gun bangs] [light dramatic music]
[guns banging]
[dramatic music]
[gun bangs]
[dramatic music]
[gun bangs] [Ben groans]
[John] I hit him.
Fuck!
[dramatic music] [heavy breathing]
[Ben shrieks]
Fuck you, Heath.
[Marley] He's running out of ammo, and if he's hit
we've got him just where we want him.
[Owen] At this rate we'll probably be here till night.
[Marley] Your point?
[Owen] By then we could probably go out
- and find supplies the- - We're not here for
the supplies.
We're here for the girl.
And if we leave and that idiot inside starts
telling people that we ran and then everyone out there
starts to think that we're weak.
And I don't know about you, but I'm not a fan
of being anyone's bitch.
I'm not either.
He didn't take you in.
He didn't take any of you in
because he thought you were weak.
Are you weak?
We're gonna take the girl and we're gonna kill
the rancher and if any of you think that isn't
what's gonna happen, I suggest you step outside
the war wagon now and gamble on who shoots you first.
[light dramatic music]
Thought so.
[Ben panting]
Oh shit. [gun clicks]
[light dramatic music continues]
[guns banging]
[Ben panting]
[Sarah groans]
[Ben panting]
[steady breathing]
Come on.
Come on, you fucker.
[light dramatic music]
[gun bangs] [Aaron groans]
- My leg. - Matthew, get something!
[Aaron groans]
[gun clicks]
[light dramatic music]
[Ben] Fuck!
[Aaron groans]
[Marley] Hurry!
[dramatic music]
[Ben groans] [guns banging]
[Ben panting]
[gun banging]
[Ben panting]
[gun bangs] [Ben groans]
Fuck!
[dramatic music] [Ben panting]
Breathe, Ben.
Fucking breathe.
[steady breathing]
[gun clicks]
Fuck.
[dramatic music]
You can do this.
[dramatic music continues]
[Ben groans]
[dramatic music continues] [guns banging]
[Ben groans] [heavy breathing]
[dramatic music continues]
Just sit.
[groans] Oh, fuck.
I'm fine.
Yeah, you look fine.
[Heath] I mean it.
I'm sure you do.
Let me fix you up anyway.
Just rub some dirt in it.
We both know that's bullshit.
Oh, that's nice.
[Heath groans]
I'm sorry, does it sting?
Like hell.
Good.
It's what you get.
No, not now, Ben.
Actually, I can't think of a better time.
[Heath panting]
All right.
Let's hear it.
How many times have I told you to stop?
How many?
[Heath groans]
How many?
[Heath] Too many.
Too many.
How many times have I asked you
to add some more security around here?
Why?
Because of all the ass beatings you're taking?
It's not that simple, Ben.
But it is that simple.
Ben.
Dad.
Look at me, look at me.
I'm glad you're home and I'm glad you're safe.
I gotta lock up outside.
[Ben groans]
[heavy breathing]
Rub some dirt in it.
Asshole.
[pills rattling]
[Ben groans]
[heavy breathing]
I'm gonna need your help.
Wake up!
Hey!
I need you to wake up!
[hands clapping]
I need you to wake up.
[Ben sighs]
Shit.
[light dramatic music]
[Ben groans]
Come on, baby.
[Ben grunts] [light dramatic music]
[heavy breathing]
[metal clattering]
[Aaron] Have you seen him?
Nope.
Great, so now he's out there somewhere
with a ton of ammo.
You're assuming he has ammo, you don't know that.
Then we need a plan, we need to walk through our options.
Now you're thinking.
He's holed up in one of those buildings
with nowhere to go.
We could storm in there and pretend our guns are loaded.
Any smart man would surrender right then.
[crows cawing]
What happens if he shoots back?
Why don't we sneak in there instead of storm in there?
Don't you think he's watching us?
John, he's smarter than that.
So if we leave the war wagon we'll most likely be shot.
Right, and if we stay in the war wagon
we're gonna run outta supplies and starve
or he's just gonna come down here and kill us.
We wait until nightfall, we could sneak up to the house,
storm in, take him by force.
Or you just don't be chicken shits.
What we need to do is just go in right now
and shoot this fucker of mothers in the face.
We tracked this girl for weeks.
It was destiny that brought us here to start the world anew.
With her blood she will breed
and her children will be immune.
And they will speak of us as the people who saved humanity.
You're just being tested. [light dramatic music]
You're being tested.
Shit, I am being tested.
And I have to ask you, are you ready to embrace your destiny
or do you wanna be just another stain in this dying world?
I was led to you and you saved me.
I'm not turning back now.
I'm not going anywhere.
Let's show that asshole who he's dealing with.
You're my family now.
You know I would die for you.
[light dramatic music]
The greatest expression of love is death.
[light dramatic music continues]
[truck engine rumbling]
[light dramatic music continues]
[dramatic music]
Get back.
[truck engine rumbling]
Get us in there as far as you can
and then we charge.
What about the barricade?
[Marley] Fuck the barricade!
Do it, Matthew!
Jackson wouldn't of died for nothing!
Fuck off.
You're in my house. [light dramatic music]
Who are you?
Why did you come here?
I'm Guy's sister, Sarah, and I'm in your house
because my brother told me that you would protect us.
Well your brother is full of shit.
You wanna know what I did at the FBI?
Maps.
I teach agents how to read maps.
Who did you think I was?
[truck engine rumbling]
[dramatic music]
[heavy breathing]
They found me.
Come on!
[wood clattering]
[tires screeching]
[light dramatic music]
Don't let them take me.
Put that away.
Follow me, now.
Go, go, go! [clattering]
Not you.
Not on that leg.
How much ammo you have left?
Enough to kill him if I see him.
Good.
Marley.
You're my right hand.
My work is your work.
Bring her back to me.
Anything for you.
[Aaron grunts]
[Aaron sighs]
They've broken through the barricades.
Get into the basement.
Stay quiet and lock the door.
[door thuds]
[heavy breathing] [crows cawing]
[birds chirping]
Do you see anything?
No.
He's here somewhere.
[crow cawing]
Owen, Matthew, come with me.
John, check that house.
[light dramatic music]
[door thuds]
[John whistles]
[light dramatic music continues]
[Heath] I saw on TV that virus is killing a lot of people.
Lotta countries closing their borders.
Yep.
[Ben sighs]
Another new reason for you not to go into the city, okay?
I ain't seen a deer around here in weeks.
Maybe it's a deer virus.
Well, if we can't kill one for dinner
maybe I'll go into town and buy one.
I just told you you need to stop going into the city.
I said town, just down the road to the market.
It's a venison kinda night.
If you insist, if that's the case, I'll drive.
No, really, Ben, I owe you for patching
me up the other night.
Oh no, I insist.
A little father-son bonding.
We can bond here over dinner.
You're in no shape to drive, Heath.
Just let me go as a thank you.
You know, I can't think of the last time
you bought venison as a thank you.
Usually we kill 'em ourselves.
Well maybe if we sit here longer, try harder.
We've sat here long enough already.
[Ben] Dad...
I mean, we can't sit here all day.
- It'll be quicker- - Dad!
Stop lying.
Lie?
Just trying to do something nice.
Oh God, you're so full of shit it's coming
out your fucking eyeballs.
I'm telling the truth.
The market doesn't sell venison, Dad!
I'm tired of this.
I'm your son.
I'm not your babysitter and I ain't your fucking sponsor.
If you keep this up, you're gonna lose this place.
If you lose this ranch, you lose everything.
And not just our home, you lose everything Grandma
and Grandpa ever worked for.
I lose all my childhood memories,
all my good memories with you and Mom.
You wanna talk about Grandma and Grandpa?
Yes!
Well let's talk about them, huh?
Where were you when Grandma died?
And what about Grandpa?
Where were you, Ben?
Fuck you.
Don't tell me about loss, I sat here and watched
- my parents die. - I was working!
I had a job!
You knew I couldn't leave.
Do you know why you knew?
Because one of us had to be the grownup.
Since when does growing up meaning turning
your back on your family?
[light dramatic music]
Turning my back on my family?
My family?
Where were you when Mom died?
- I was- - You were fucking gambling!
You were gambling!
It's not the same.
Of course it's not the same because you have a disease.
I'd never turn my back on you.
If I did, I wouldn't be here.
You wanna do this to yourself?
Then you just go right ahead.
I can't do it anymore.
If I do, I'm gonna have a heart attack just like Mom.
I'm done wasting my energy trying to stop you.
It's up to you, Heath.
[Ben sighs] [light dramatic music]
[gun thuds]
[feet rustling] [suspenseful music]
I'll do the barns, check the deer blind.
[Marley] Shoot that bastard.
[suspenseful music continues]
[feet rustling]
[Marley sighs]
[dramatic music]
[Ben grunts] [dramatic music]
[both groaning]
You're fucking dead.
[dramatic music continues]
[gun bangs]
[ax thuds] [dramatic music]
[Ben gasping]
No sign of him or the girl.
Was that just sitting up there?
Yeah, there's another one up there.
Based on what I've seen I wouldn't be shocked
if there's weapons hidden all over this place.
[light dramatic music] [heavy breathing]
Go sit in the blind, you see him, you start firing.
We'll come running.
And you?
I'm gonna take a walk in the woods
and see what I can find.
All right.
Good luck.
You, too.
[light dramatic music]
[heavy breathing]
[ladder creaking]

[heavy breathing] [light dramatic music]
[both groaning]
[Ben panting] [light dramatic music]
You can come out now.
[Ben panting]
You did that?
Why do they want you?
They think I can somehow save them.
[light dramatic music]
Their leader, he...
He wants to breed me.
[Ben sighs]
I gotta put some lights on outside.
It's gonna be dark soon.
It's gonna be a long night.
You know, I don't think you're lying to me,
but you're definitely not telling me everything.
Think about how that helps us.
[light dramatic music]
[ground rustling]
[suspenseful music]
[light dramatic music]
I know your footsteps.
In a pride of lions the female does most,
if not all the hunting.
Do know how a male lion hunts?
No.
Okay, I'll tell ya.
He sits on his ass in the brush and he waits
for the prey to come to him.
I am the male lion.
I am the king of the jungle.
I just wanted to check on you.
I'll go.
You need to get this done, it's taking too long.
I know it's a big ranch, but he's out there,
Marley, and so is she.
He knows where to hide.
There are four of you and one of him.
You disappoint me.
I'm sorry.
Don't be sorry, that's for the weak.
You're not weak.
You go out there and do what you have to do, get it done.
Make me proud.
I will.
[ground rustling] [crow cawing]
[crickets chirping]
[heavy breathing]
[Ben groans] [generator whirring]
[bugs chirping]
[heavy breathing]
- [Ben gasps] - No, no, no, no.
Shit.
Ben.
What?
I have the virus.
What?
They don't know.
No.
[Ben chuckles]
[light dramatic music]
They think I'm immune, but I'm not.
I'm a carrier, I just don't get sick.
The refugee camp in Pennsylvania.
That was you.
That was me.
All those people.
I didn't know what I was.
I showed up and everyone started getting sick.
They were all dying except for me.
The doctors couldn't tell people that
they messed up by letting me in, so they hid it.
They told everyone I was immune and everyone believed it.
They threw me in a quarantine cell
and said that they were gonna send me off
to some research place.
But I've heard stories.
You don't know what they do to people like me.
They experiment, it's like being a fucking rat in a cage
waiting to be dissected.
Was your brother Guy a carrier?
He was sick and helped me escape.
Neither one of us knew how long he would make it.
Am I sick?
[light dramatic music]
I don't know.
[crickets chirping] [light dramatic music]
I'll see who it is.
- Ben- - Go on.
Go on.
All right.
[crickets chirping]
What do you want?
[Man] What we always want.
[Heath] You shouldn't of come here.
[muffled talking] [fork tapping]
Heath, we came to collect.
I just need more time.
[Man] You've had more than enough.
Just a little more, I'm so close.
Close?
Is that a joke?
Close? Hear that?
You owe us more money every time
you set foot outside that house.
- I understand, but- - Do you have it?
Well then why don't we see if there's anything
more valuable inside?
Not in the house!
What are you doing, Heath?
Get out of my way.
[rustling] Hey!
[fork clinking]
[gun bangs]
Dad!
Hey!
[engine rumbling]
Hey!
Don't come back!
[light dramatic music] [crickets chirping]
[suspenseful music]
[Ben inhales sharply]
[Ben sighs]
[crickets chirping]
[heavy breathing]
It's not your fault.
It's nobody's fault.
It's just the way it is.
[crickets chirping]
[Ben gasps]
Hide.
Now.
[heavy breathing]
Where are you?
[door creaking]
[bugs chirping]
I got you.
[heavy breathing]
[guns banging]
[Marley panting]
[loons calling] [crickets chirping]
[Ben panting]
Come on.
[gun bangs] [Ben groans]
[Marley panting]
[Ben sighs]
[gun bangs] [Marley groans]
[heavy breathing]
[shells clinking]
[gun bangs] [Marley gasps]
[Marley panting]
[crickets chirping]
[both groaning]
[knee thuds]
[fist thudding] [Ben groans]
I know she's here!
[Marley gasps]
[head thuds]
[Ben panting]
- [whooshing] - 14 people are dead,
including three children.
Four others suffered serious injuries.
Police have a suspect in custody
but are not releasing any information
until they complete their investigation.
[Reporter] Health officials from around the world
met virtually today seeking to unite
all their resources as the worldwide
death toll now tops eight...
[light dramatic music]
[Reporter] To suppress the mass looting
the president sought to order martial law in effect,
but with more than 2/3rds of the country's military
and law enforcement officers sick...
[light dramatic music continues]
[fire crackling]
[sirens wailing]
[crickets chirping]
[light dramatic music continues]
[Radio Operator] Good evening, darlings.
This is the new Doomsday Daily and I'm still learning
how to operate this radio along with catching
all the relays across the country,
so I'm coming to you from somewhere in the heartland.
So if you can hear me, I just might be able to see you.
It's been a brutal 24 hours, so let's forego
the witty alliterative banter.
The president has died.
There's just no more government.
He was the last.
There is no longer anybody running this country.
I'm not sure what else to report as we're all
just figuring this out, but I'm just gonna keep coming back
for as long as I can.
This is Alpha One-Nine.
You know what?
This is Jessica.
Goodnight, darlings.
[light dramatic music] [crickets chirping]
[metal clattering] [water sloshing]
[jug thuds]
[Ben groans]
[tape rustling]
You're never gonna get that girl.
You're never gonna get my land.
[crickets chirping]
[gun clicks]
[gun bangs]
[light dramatic music]
[gun bangs]
[light dramatic music continues]
[Ben panting]
You come to my house, you try to kidnap this girl,
and then you try to kill me?
Just wanted the girl!
[wood clattering]
No.
[light dramatic music continues]
No, wait, wait!
Wait!
No, no, no, don't.
[gun bangs]
[fire whooshing]
No.
Oh no, no, no.
[fire whooshing]
[wood creaking]
[Owen screams]
Don't do this.
I don't have a choice.
Yes, you do.
She's not immune.
The girl is sick.
Hell, at this point, so am I.
[light dramatic music continues]
I have to kill you or Aaron kills me.
You can run, you can head into those woods
and don't you ever look back.
[Owen chuckles] [light dramatic music]
It's too late for that.
[dramatic music]
[gun bangs]
[body thuds]
[Ben panting]
[fire whooshing]
[Ben screams]
[crickets chirping]
[gun clatters]
[Marley groans]
We're gonna go for a walk.
You try anything, you try to run,
I swear by sweet and sainty Jesus
I'll put a bullet in your head.
[Marley groans] Get up!
Come on!
Move!
[crickets chirping]
Oh, my God.
[Aaron] Well, look at us.
Let's be done with this.
No, we have to talk before we're finished.
We have nothing else to say.
You're gonna toss that gun aside,
I'm gonna give you your lady back,
you're gonna get into that truck
and you're gonna ride off into the sunset.
Ah, happily ever after?
- That's the idea. - Uh huh.
Well, let's think through that.
So, I toss my gun, you let her go,
and how do you think that would end?
I mean, two people who've been trying to kill
you all day long standing in front of you defenseless,
we'd be dead in seconds.
I see how that looks.
I'll throw my gun as soon as you do.
You have my word.
Your word doesn't mean anything to me
because I've been ordained by the other world
to kill anyone who stands in my way.
I don't want this!
I'm not a killer!
I think today you earned that moniker.
And now you're standing with a gun to Marley's head
and you expect me just to walk away?
[Ben] Yeah, I guess I do.
Yeah, I guess you can see that's not gonna happen.
I didn't ask you to come here!
Doesn't matter now, son.
Look around you!
I've already won! [Marley groans]
Toss your gun, cut your losses, and go home!
Stop!
Just out of common courtesy,
do you mind taking off her gag?
I think she has some wisdom to impart.
Fuck you.
[Aaron] Hey, Marley, how's it going?
[Marley laughs]
I have had better days.
[Marley groans]
Boys, I think we're at a stalemate here.
And the only thing killing anyone is old age.
The only prize is still hiding somewhere on this land!
See, we've been after her ever since she left the camp.
It was always about the girl.
But you're wrong about the girl!
No!
She's immune and Aaron sees the big picture.
He knows that she could change everything.
But she's not immune!
That's a lie they told you at the camp.
She's a carrier and she will infect you both!
You're a liar.
You expect us to believe that?
Well, you better believe it!
Because right now I'm breathing all over your lady's face.
And if I'm sick, then she is too.
I can smell your lies.
I walked straight through that disease, son,
and came out alive.
The girl is my right, she is my destiny.
But your destiny is gonna get you killed.
She is mine and I'm taking her.
[gun clicks]
Don't do it.
Aaron.
I've told you time and again that I would do
whatever it took to end this and get her back.
You did.
And I have kept my promise until now, haven't I?
You have.
[Marley panting]
Then you do what you need to do.
I will.
[gun bangs]
[light dramatic music] [Sarah gasps]
[heavy breathing]
[Aaron yells]
[gun banging]
[Aaron groans]
[body thudding] [drawer rattling]
[Sarah panting]
Fuck.
Come on, come on, come on.
[gun clicks]
[light dramatic music continues]
I had this thought that when I got it
it would be the virus that took me down,
not some dumbass with a gun.
Sorry to break it to you, this isn't how it ends.
[gun bangs] [Aaron yells]
You're gonna have to live with what you've done.
What I've done?
I beat death again!
[Sarah groans]
I'm invincible!
[gun bangs] [Sarah screams]
[Sarah gasping] [light dramatic music]
He killed Guy.
He would've done this again.
I couldn't let him do this to another person.
[Sarah gasps]
[crickets chirping]
I'm so sorry, Ben.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
Don't apologize ever.
Are you okay?
I've been better.
I always figured if the world ended we'd band together
and help each other and...
I don't know what to do now.
I don't have anyone.
[Ben sighs]
[light music]
We have each other.
[Sarah sighs]
We do have one thing going for us.
Yeah? What's that?
An armored truck with a tank full of gas.
Yeah.
It's time I leave this place.
Maybe someone out there's working on a cure.
You'll need help if you're sick.
Are you coming with me?
You shouldn't go out there on your own.
You got any supplies we can take?
Yeah.
We'll be fine.
