"Whoa!" "All the foods gonna go bad." "Yeah, I drew up a list." "Ill hit the store before it gets all bought out." "Fuck." " Can you save it?" " No." "No way." "No, I gotta start over from scratch." "Ill call the studio when the phones get back up, see if they can extend my deadline." "What choice do they have?" "You kiddin?" "They could whip up some bad Photoshop poster in an afternoon." "They do it all the time." "Two big heads." "I should have brought it downstairs with me last night." "Just stupid, I guess." "Well, sweetie, you couldnt exactly know that a tree was gonna come flying through the window." "Yeah, llI hit the hardware store too, get some plastic sheeting and duct tape and seal this up before it gets dark, you know." "Order in some new glass." "Oh, you know what?" "Thatwas your... thatwas your grandfathers tree, the one he planted." " Ohh." " Used to play in that tree." "Its just stuff, though." "You know, were safe." "Thats all that counts." "Yeah." "Mom, Dad, you gotta come see!" "Hey, Billy, take it easy, all right?" "I really dontwant you running all over the place." "But you gotta come look." "The boathouse is all bashed!" "Holy crap!" "Billy." "Sorry, Mom, but you just gotta come!" "Come on!" "Whoa!" "Whoa." " Whoa." " Come on." "Having spoken, the Doomsayer departs." "Come on!" "How do you two always manage to make me laugh?" " You have incredibly low standards." " Mm-hmm." "Lets go, uh, see the damage." "No." " Nortons tree." " Yeah." "You mean the dead one Ive been asking him to take down for three years before it finally blew over?" "That tree?" " Really got smooshed." " You aint kiddin." "Look at that." "What is it, Daddy?" "Mist." " On the lake?" " Weve had mist on the lake before." "Coming off the mountain like that?" "Two fronts meeting, left over from the storm, something like that." "You sure?" "Honey, Im not the weatherman." "Why dont you take Billy, get him dressed." "Ill take him to town with me." "Okay." "Where you going?" "Im gonna go have a little chat with our neighbor about his tree." "Hon." "Dontworry, Im not gonna punch him in the nose." "You knowwhat hes gonna say." "Hes gonna say, Sue me, which, I dont know, maybe we should." "Honey, one property dispute with this guy is enough to last me a lifetime." "Im gonna ask for his insurance information." "Okay." " Thats all." " Yeah." "Ohh!" "Mother fucker!" "Aw, shit!" "Ohh, you mother fucker!" "Cock sucker!" "Turn on." "Full choke." "Pull five... choke." "I guess youve seen the... boathouse." "Yeah, and...?" "Nothin." "Just think we should trade insurance info, you know?" "Thats all." "Oh, my insurance guys gonna love me." "Oh." "Shit." "The 1980." "I was gonna bring the station wagon, but..." "I dont know, the weather was so beautiful coming out of NewYork," "I just..." "You know, top down." "Im sorry, man." "I mean it." "Sincerely." " Thats nice of you to say." " No, that car was cherry." "I hate to see it like that." "Okay, llI tell you what, llI find my insurance guys number, llI bring it by later." " That okay?" " No problem." "So, uh, David... youre not heading into town today by any chance, are you?" "Well, CMPs out in force." "Maybe well get our power back." "I know." "Some storm, huh?" "One for the books, yeah." "For a moment there last night," "I thoughtwe were gonna take off and head for Oz." "WZON is off the air, but Portlands still broadcasting." "Daddy, look." "Ah." "Guys from the base." " From up the mountain?" " Uh-huh." "The Arrowhead Project?" "Well, youre a local." "Any idea what they do up there?" "Missile defense research." "You know, Im sure youve heard the stories." "Oh, sure." "The woman at the Laundromat says that, uh, they have a crashed flying saucer up there with frozen alien bodies." "Right." "Miss Edna." "Yeah." "Miss Tabloid." "I Had Bigfoots Baby." "Satans Face Appears in Oil Well Fire." "You know, real reliable stuff." "Well, theyre in a hurry." "Maybe their powers out too." "Huh." "Still no signal." "Why dont you go ahead?" "Im gonna try Steph on a pay phone." "Can I go with Mr. Norton, Daddy?" "Sure, if you promise to hold his hand, I guess." "Yeah." " Yeah." "Heres a list." " Sure." " Okay?" "Meet you guys in there." "Hold hands." "Im sorry." "I didnt know itwas your sister." "That looks so freaky!" "Hmm." " Sally, hey." " Hey, Mr. Drayton." "You guys look jammed up." "Yeah, well, half the staff didnt show, plus the powers out." "Oh, no." "What, no backup generator?" "Only to keep the food cold." "Everything else, welcome to the Dark Ages, and bring your checkbook." "Hey, Thursday night, Steph and I want a date night." " Baby-sit?" " Heck, yeah." "Im there." "Oh, my God." "The storm." "Everybodys stocking up." "Been like this since we opened." "Crappy day, huh?" "Eh, everyones a little pissed off this morning." "Morning, Mrs. Carmody." "With lines like these, I dont know how good it is, but I guess well have to make do." " Keep your head down, pal." " I know it." "Hey, champ." "Your wife should be a doctor." "She could make a fortune in Manhattan with this handwriting." "Yeah, it takes some getting used to." "Why dont you get your stuff?" "llI meet you at the checkout." "Okay, done." "Hey, David, thanks for helping me out today." "Are you and Mr. Norton gonna be friends now, Daddy?" "Oh, I dont know." "Friends might be stretching it a little." "I guess youre not mad at each other anymore." "I guess not." "And thats a start, huh?" "Im sorry, maam, the registers are down." "The power outage got us too." "Hopefullywell have power up pretty soon." " The bus leaves in 30 minutes." " Well make it, okay?" "You guys get the goodies." "Ill wait in line." "I need some change on register five." "Good morning, Ms. Reppler." "Hello, Ms. Reppler." "Well, hello to you, Billy Drayton." "How'd you hold up in the storm?" "We had a tree come through the picture window last night, right in my studio." "And the boathouse got all smooshed." "Mr. Nortons tree fell on it." "Ouch." " Yeah." "Sorry to hear that." "How'd you guys make out?" "Oh, were fine." "Its the listings Im worried about." "At the very least, llI bet every one of our For Sale signs fell over." "We had damage at the school, wouldnt you know?" "Thats whatwe get for not fixing that roof when we shouldve, butwith funds being cut every year..." "Youd think educating children would be more of a priority in this country, but youd be wrong." "Governments got better things to spend our money on, like corporate handouts and building bombs." "Daddy, is there a fire?" "Is Mommy all right?" "Im sure shes fine." "Dontworry, okay?" "Mind what youre doing, Sally." "Oh, come on, we got 10 days leave." "Check our papers." "Look, I told you, all leaves are cancelled." "I dont knowwhy." "I gotta go check the pharmacy out." "Three men meet me back at the Jeep in five minutes." "Thats an order." "Shit, man!" "Another half an hour, and wed have been gone." "Oh, my God!" "Something in the mist!" "Something in the mist took John Lee!" "Dan, catch your breath." "Something in the mist took John Lee." "I could hear him screaming." "Shut the doors!" "Shut the doors!" "My God!" "Daddy, Im scared." "Can we go home?" "Dont go out there." "Theres something in the mist." "It took John Lee." "Screwthat!" "Im gettin in my car." "Mister, no!" "Please hold me." "Its okay, its okay." "Its a pollution cloud." "The mills down in Rumford." "Some kind of chemical explosion." "Has to be." "What is it?" "Whats going on?" "Its death." "Aah!" "Stay down!" "Daddy!" "You okay?" "Thatwas an earthquake." "I tell you, the goddamn mills blew up!" "Is everyone okay?" "Is anyone hurt?" "Everybodyjust stay put, okay?" "Just stay inside the store." "I cant." "I cant stay here." "I gotta get home to my kids." "No." "No, dont go out there." "Its death out there." "Its the end of days." "Stop it, okay?" "Stop it." "Please, everybody, everybodyjust relax, okay?" "Hes right." "Lets just stay cool." "Lets just try to figure out what happened." "Im sorry, I..." "I cantjust stay here." "I have to get home to my kids." "Maam, no, you cant go out there." "Could be a poisonous gas cloud." "Didnt you hear that man screaming?" "I agree." "Lets stay here until we figure it out." "Youre not listening!" "I cant stay here." "Wandas looking after little Victor." "Shes only 8." "Sometimes she forgets shes supposed to be watching him." "I told them Id only be gone a few minutes." "Shes only 8." "For their sakes, dont." "Well, isnt anybody gonna help me?" "Shh." "Its okay, pal." "Wont somebody here see a lady home?" "You?" "You?" "Its okay, buddy." " You?" "Maam, please, I got my own boy to worry about." "I hope you all rot in hell." "Maam, please, wait until..." "Okay, lets start cleaning up, okay?" "Get the spilled bottles, broken glass, stuff like that." "Aisle three has medical supplies." "Its okay." "Its okay." "All right, easy, champ." "Come on." "Come on." "Come on." "All right, hey, hey, hey." "Cant keep crying like this, pal." "Come on!" "Come on, youre gonna hurt yourself." " Come on, are you all right?" " I want Mommy!" "All right, I know you want Mommy." "All right, just try to breathe." "Just try to breathe, okay?" "Just try to breathe, pal." "Thats okay." "Its all right." "I havent seen him suck his thumb like this since he was 2 years old." "Hes in shock." "I think we all are." "You havent met." "Amanda Dunfrey." "Shes new in town as of this semester." "Teaches third grade and the special ed kids, nowthat Moshers retired." "Shes wonderful." "The kids love her." "And Davids an artist." "He does movie posters and such." "And me..." "Lord, Im babbling away like some old biddy at a tea party!" "My nerves are jangled, I guess." "Boy settle down?" "How is he?" "Still hot." "Why dont I get him some aspirin." " Aisle three." " Okay." "Thanks." "How's Dan?" "His nose stopped bleeding." "Hes calmer now." "Somebody gave him a Valium." "Cant believe the way he ran in here." "Never seen him like that." "I need something to cover my boy up." "Got any blankets?" "Furniture pads." "Loadin dock." "Gonna keep checkin on people." "If you need anything, just holler." "You bet." "Sally, you mind?" "Oh, Id love to." "I really should help him clean up." " llI take him." " Okay." "Daddy, dont go." "No, llI be gone two seconds, Big Bill." "Come on, Im gonna get your blanket." "Mrs. Repplers here, and so is Mrs. Turman." "Ill be close by, okay?" " Okay." " Dontworry, Im not far." "Okay?" "Let me look at you." "Hmm?" "Wanna lie down?" "Yeah." "There you go." "Soon as it blowss away, we can walk out of here safe andfree, butwe have to be smart about it." "First thing we need to do is keep our wits about us and find outwhats happened." "Well, howwe gonna do that, my man?" "Weve got no phone signal, got no radio." "Im sure theyre working on those problems as we speak." "It stands to reason that restoring communications would be their top priority." "Jeez!" "Oh, shit." "Ow!" "Shit!" "God damn it!" "Ow!" "Ow!" "Bitch!" "Its obvious thatwere... were in some kind of natural disaster here." "Aint nothing obvious about this sombitch from where I sit." "There aint nothin natural about it either." "Thats right." "Its Judgment Day, and its come round at last." "There is nothing more obvious or natural than that." "Ohh, fuck, now." "Youve done that to yourself, by a life of sin and dissolution." "Hey, whoa!" "David!" "Hey, you guys hear that?" "The generator?" "Were just gonna check it out." "No, no, I turned the generator off." "It... itwas backing up." " N-nobody else heard that sound?" " What sound?" "I dont know, like a... weird noise, back there in the dark." "Like something was, like, pressing against the door." "Did you hear it before the lights went out, or after?" "No, only after." "After, but, look, I heard it, okay?" " Nobodys calling you a liar." " Thats what it sounds like." "No, no, no, no." "Now, dont be thattaway, Mr. Drayton." "You had a scare, no doubt." "What saywe all go check it out?" "Here." "Oooopf!" "Man." "Its pretty rank in here." " Myron, go check it out." " All right." "Go on, fire it up." "All right!" "Shut it off!" "Holy crow, dont that stink!" "Somethings got the exhaustvent plugged up from the outside." "You get it running long enough to raise that door a little, llI go out and clear whatevers blocking it." "No, no, you cant do that." "Why not?" "Its an electric door, right?" "Well, yeah, but it may not be wise to send him out there." "Okay, llI do it." "No, look, its not about who goes out there." "What, dont you think I can do it?" "Hey!" "I want to go!" "Itwas my idea." "Well, wait, just stop, okay?" " J-Jim, right?" "Mm-hmm." "Myron?" "You guys are... you, well, you dont seem to understand, or youre trying real hard not to." "This is no ordinary mist, okay?" "You open that door, and something gets in here." "Like what?" "Well, like whatever made that noise I heard." "Are you guys being willfully dense?" "Mr. Drayton, youll pardon me, but Im not convinced that you heard anything." "I mean, were not hearing anything now, right?" "Anybody?" "See?" "Now, I know, I know..." "youre a big shot artist with connections in NewYork and Hollywood and all like that, but that dont make you better than anybody else, not in my book." "Hey, I didnt say that." "Nor do I like being talked down to or called stupid by a guywho went to college, just cause hes got the jitters." "Fellas, it doesnt even matter about the generator." "The foodll keep without it." "Kid, Im gonna start the motor, you raise the door, and you yell out when you got enough room." "Yeah." "Okay, good." "Wait." "This is..." "You guys gonna let this kid risk his life over a generator that doesnt even matter?" "Would you just shut the fuck up already?" "Norm!" "Listen, Mr. Drayton, I tell you what." "The next time you got somethin to say, you count your teeth, because Im sick to death of your bullshit." "All right?" "Come on, Myron." "This is crazy!" "Leave em be." "What am I, impugning their manhood or something?" "Listen, theyve lost their sense of proportion." "Whats going on here?" "Out there in the market, theywere scared and confused." "In here, theres a problem they can solve, so theyre goddamn gonna solve it." "Ready, kid?" " Lets rock." "Norm, come on." "Dont, man." "Its a mistake." "Pussy." "Go up!" "So... any boogeymen?" "Pretty scary, aint it, Norm?" "Yeah, right." "Norm." "Norm!" "What the fuck!" "Ahh!" "Get it off!" "Get it off!" "Get this friggin thing off me!" "Get it off!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Help me!" "Aah!" "Aaahhh!" "Jesus!" "Theres more!" "Theres more!" "Somebody help me." "Somebody help me." "What the fuck are you waitin for?" "Aaahhhh!" "Hang on!" "Aaahhhh!" "Hold him still!" "Hold him still!" "Aaahhhh!" "Oh, Jesus!" "Aah!" "Aah!" "Shit!" "Oh, shit!" "Oh, shit!" "David, its no good!" "Aah!" "Start the generator." "Aah!" "Aaaggghhh!" "Gaaahhhh!" "Hey, Im sorry." "I mean, howthe... howthe hell was I supposed to knowwhat you meant?" "You said you heard something." "Howwas I supposed to know what you meant?" "You shouldve said what you meant better." "I dont know, I thought maybe itwas a big bird or something." "You got that kid killed!" "Did you get a good look at it?" "Huh?" "Did you get a good look atwhat you did?" " Huh?" " David!" "Dont hit him anymore!" "Doesnt solve anything!" "You two assholes, you got that kid killed!" "And I got his fuckin blood on me!" "Okay, Im done." "Okay." "Whats next?" "Kill the generator." "Thats the first thing." "Im sorry." "Jesus Christ!" "Oh, God!" "Im..." "Im sorry about the kid." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "Oh, God." "We oughtta get out of here." "Hey, we didnt twist his arm." "Yeah, hes a fuckin kid." "Hes supposed to be stupid." "Whats your excuse, huh?" "Get outta here." "Go back in the market." "Stay by the door." "Dont say anything, to anybody." "Not yet." "Not yet." "Shit." "David?" "Need a little light here." "We have to tell em." "The people in the market, we have to stop em going outside." "Theywont believe us." "They have to." "Im not sure I believe it." "I was here." "W- whatwe sawwas impossible." "You knowthat, dont you?" "I mean, what... what do we say?" "How do we convince them?" "Ollie, what the hell were those tentacles even attached to?" "Oh, my God!" "Are... are you all right?" "Shh!" "Yeah, yeah, yeah, its not my blood." "Im fine." "W- what the hell happened?" "llI explain." "Give me a minute, okay?" "I need to deal with something first." "Please, Ive got to..." "I cant let Billy see me like this." "Hes scared enough." "Just give me a minute." "Keep him distracted." "Okay?" "Okay." "Hey, look, Im sorry about Norm." "Me too." "I mean, I aint making excuses, Im just sayin." "Look, we need to tell people." "No need to say how itwent down or anything like that, but, uh, were in the deep shit here." "People need to know." "What about the out-of-towners?" "We got plenty of them in the store." "Where do we even start?" "Brent Norton?" "Thatwindbag?" "Hes an important attorney in NewYork." "That fellow could be on the bench one day." "Counts a lotwith people of this town, or... or anywhere." "Yeah, thats right." " Do it quick, David." "Weve got to discuss howwere gonna stop that thing getting in here." "W- wait." "What do you mean getting in?" "You shut the loading door." "Yeah, but the entire front of the store is plate glass." "Jesus Christ." "I was wondering where youd gotten to." "Um, listen... that guy that came in here, the one with the bloody nose theyre... theyre..." "We saw tentacles." "Aint goin verywell, is it?" "Unh-unh." " You... what?" " Come here, youve got..." "Come here." "Tell him." "Its true." "Tentacles." "Yeah." "Um, gentlemen, um..." "Im sorry, I..." "Im just not that stupid." "I mean, what do you take me for?" "Im shocked." "Im shocked." "Im shocked." "Its pretty tasteless using whats happening here to try to make me look like an idiot." "No, no, thats not whats going on here." "Look, come back to the loading dock, okay?" "llI show you." "Blood." "A chunk of tentacle on... on the floor." "No." "No?" "What do you mean no?" "No." "Weve got real problems to deal with here, and this pathetic attempt at a joke has gone far enough." "Mr. Norton, what reason could we possibly have...?" "Oh, please!" "Please!" "This is payback for the lawssuit that I filed against him last year, and you guys are backing him up." "So winning wasnt enough, huh?" "You wanted to humiliate me some more, show me a rubber snake while these... these hicks stand around laughing their asses off." " Watch who you callin a hick!" " Myron!" "Myron!" " Hey, hey, fuck...!" "Mr. Norton I swear, you have got us all wrong." "Youre not too crazy about, um, out-of-towners, are you?" "I only spend my money, and I pay my taxes here, and I have seen you talking behind my back." "Yall stick together." "Well, dont I feel foolish?" "I actually thought you were being kind to me today, and, well, thanks for setting me straight." "And Im glad that tree fell on your boathouse, you knowthat?" "Glad." "Smashed it in pretty good, didnt it?" "Fantastic." "Now, all of yall, just stay out of myway." "I know youre scared, man." "Im scared too." " Lives are at stake around here." " David..." "Okay, my son's life." "Now, I need you." "Brent, please, get your head out of your ass." "All right, llI drag you back there if I have to." "Come here." "David, get your goddamn hands off of me!" "llI sue your ass again!" "Sue your ass, and this time youll go to jail!" "This man assaulted me." "He assaulted me." "You were witness to it." "This mans crazy." "Hes crazy." "No." "He isnt." "I wish he was, but he isnt." "E- everyone in the store, you want to come back here?" "Theres something you need to hear." "It concerns you all." "Okay." "W- w-wait." "I dont know what you people think youre doing." "Youre drinking?" "For Christs sake, Ollie." "Do you want me to report you?" "You want to lose your job?" "Look, Im gonna be taking down names, starting with you." "And I am prepared to file a police report." " Fine, Bud, write down your names." " I will." "But in the meantime, shut the fuck up and listen." "This is Mr. David Drayton." "You need to hear what hes got to say if youre thinking about leaving." "Go hang out with the ladies, all right?" "Listen, dont be scared." "Its okay." "Okay." "This is how it is." "Now, I dont know what this mist is... but there are things in it, and theyre dangerous, like Dan said." "Thats right." "Thats exactly right." "What kind of things?" "I never saw it." "It happened too fast." "I got knocked down." "Five of us went back in the loading dock." "Itwas Jim, Myron, Ollie... me" "Norm, the bagboy." " We opened the door..." " Wheres Norm?" "...so Norm could go out and clear the vent for the generator." "Something come out of the mist and took him." "Took him?" "What do you mean?" "Just... killed him." "I mean dragged him off." "Now, guys, I dont know what these things are." "All we sawwere tentacles." "Tentacles?" "Tentacles, he says." "Tentacles from Planet X." "Its a lie, you know." "I mean, all these people do is just lie each other up." "Its a pile of shit." "Of course its a lie." "Of course its a lie." "Its lunacy." "From the look of it, the tentacles are coming out of the beer cans." "All right, uh, Bud, dont take our word for it." "Go look." "Over there." "What the hell is that?" "It appears we may have a problem of some magnitude here." "Yeah, just keep em in line." "Thanks." "Let me... help these people." "Let me... let me preach your word." "Let me shine your light, cause theyre not all bad." "They cant all be bad." "Some can be saved, cant they?" "Yes." "Some can be brought... to heavens holy gates through your grace." "I have to believe that, though I know mostwill swim in the lake of fire forever." "If I can save a few... even one then my life will have counted for something." "I will have pulled myweight." "I will have earned my place at your side." "I will have served a purpose here on this earth." "Hello?" "What?" "I just need to use the bathroom." "Oh." "Okay." "Well, then, have at it." "Maam..." "I..." "I justwant you to know that its okay... being scared, I mean... and, well, if you need a friend... you know, someone to talk to." "I have a friend..." "God up above." "I talk to him every day." "Dont you condescend to me." "Im sorry?" "Not ever." "You dont mock me." "Thats notwhat I was doing." "Well, llI tell you what... the day I need a friend like you, llI just have myself a little squat and shit one out." "Maybe you do believe this." "Maybe theyre not lies, theyre delusions." "Whatever." "Uh, the fact remains, the evidence here is flimsy." " Its bordering on ludicrous." " Hey, this isnt a courtroom." "Youre not arguing a case, and youre doing nothing but damage, talking the way you are." "And you can throw as much cow's blood around the loading dock as you want to." "You still havent fooled anyone." "Leave it alone, David." "You cant convince some people theres a fire even when their hair is burning." "Denial is a powerful thing." "Well, keep talking." "Ill have no part of it, nor would any thinking person." "Keep thinking, Mr. Lawyer." "Theres no defense against the will of God." "Theres no court of appeals in hell." "Theres no defense here, either." "Not even with all the fertilizer in the world, not even if you stack it as high as you can." "Its still just bags of shit, isnt it?" "Those of you who want to discuss this thing rationally to find a means of rescue are welcome to join me." "Those who want to stack dog food, knock yourselves out." "We got those windowss taped up as bestwe could." "It should help." "Yeah, think so?" "Duct tape and dog food bags." "That bad?" "Its not good." "Theres none so blind as those who will not see." "Open your eyes." "Let the scales fall away." "This has all been written." "Revelations, chapter 15:" "And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the temple until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed." "Well, what are you saying?" "What are you proposing?" "Thatwe all prepare... to meet our Maker." "Oh, prepare to meet shit!" "Lady, your tongue must be hung in the middle so that it can waggle at both ends." "The end time has come, not in flames, but in mist." "Come here!" "Easy!" "Back off!" "How about if your ass prepares to meet my size-10 work boot." "How about that?" "Hey, theres no call for that." "Myron, please, calm your friend down." "Im trying to save your soul, you stupid man." " Doubters will doubt till the end." " Its okay." "No, Im sorry, Im sorry." "A monstrosity did pull that poor boy away." "Things in the mist..." "do you doubt?" "Do you?" "Then go out." "Go out and say, How do you do." "Shut up, lady." "For Gods sakes." "Look, youll have to stop now." "Youre scaring the children." "They should be scared." "Oh, yes, they should." "Their beautiful, pure little minds have been corrupted with lies." "Lies." "All this talk of a modern God, or no God." "There is one God." "The God of the Israelites." "And he is a stern and vengeful God, and we have been mocking him far too long, and now he demands retribution in blood." "It is time to declare yourselves." "Take sides... the saved and the damned." "Read the Good Book." "It calls for expiation." " Blood!" " What?" "Blood." "Little Normie was first, and now God calls the rest of us." "The bill is due." "It must be paid." "As Abraham prepared to sacrifice his only son to prove his love for God, so..." "Enough." " Ohh." " Another down payment." "A few more pennies in the jar." "Now, thats nice, see." "I cant smack her, but its okay for you." "L" " Im sorry everybody, but this ladys perspective is a little too Old Testament for my taste." "Theyll come for you." "Maybe tonight, when darkness comes." "Theyll come tonight, and theyll take someone else." "See if they dont." "And when they do, you will cry to God, and you will beg Mother Carmody to show you the way." "Thats fine." "But until then, if you dont shut up, llI wrap this tape around your mouth." "You just try it, Ollie Weeks." "And you, bitch... you hit me again... if you dare." "Youll be on your knees to me before this is through." "Those of you who arent local should know that Mrs. Carmody is known in town for being... unstable." "No shit." "Whatwas your first clue?" "Shh." "Hi." "Whats up, little dude?" "How come your friends dont come get us?" "They got tanks and stuff, right?" "Why cant you just call em?" "Phones dontwork." "But dont you got, like, a radio?" "Hey, champ, whats going on?" "I want their friends to come rescue us." "Theywould if they could, pal." "Theyre stuck here just like us." "But..." "Shh." "Now, guys, we could use a hand over there." "Yeah, sure thing." "Troop, off your asses." "You all right?" " I dont like that scary lady." "Oh, man, I dont either." "But you knowwhat?" "Maybe shes scared too." "You think?" "You think Mommys okay?" "Billy..." "Im sorry about the times I was bad to her." "Aw, hey." "Mommy loves you very much." "And llI bet shes fine." "And I promise you," "Im gonna do everything I can to get us back to her." " Okay?" " Kay." " Yeah?" " Kay." "So, we can use the charcoal fluid and the mops to make torches." "And weve got knives and stuff, God knowss." "This may be a silly question, Bud, but... do you happen to have a gun in the store?" "Here?" "No." "Please." "This... this isnt Los Angeles." "Ive got a shotgun in my truck." "I could try for it if you want." "Oh, God, I dont think thatd be a good idea, Mr. Cornell." "Hold on." "This gun, um... my husbands idea." "Hes away on business a lot." "Its not even loaded." "Aint much use unloaded, maam." "Um..." "You know howto use that?" "Well, I shot it once on a pistol range." "Hit the target a fewtimes." "So, we got a gun." "Anybody know howto shoot it?" "Well, I mean?" "I do." "You?" "Ollie." "Please." "Some target shooting." "State champion in 94." "Youre crazy if you go out there!" "Let us pass!" "Let us pass, please!" "Lets just talk this thing through." "We have, and weve made our decision." "Were leaving." "Hey, Mr. Mackeys gonna barbecue some chicken on the gas grill." " Why dontwe just sit down and just..." " What, and let you keep on talking?" "No, Ive been in far too many courtrooms to fall for that." "Youve already psyched out half a dozen of my people already." "Y, our people?" "What kind of talk is that?" "Theyre people, thats all." "Now... now listen, everyone." "We are experiencing some kind of disaster." "I dont knowwhether its manmade or natural, but I do knowthat its definitely not supernatural or biblical, and, no offense, Mrs. Carmody, but the onlyway were gonna help ourselves is to seek rescue." "Were going out." " Brent, look." " Im not discussing this any further." "I know." "I justwant to ask a favor." "Tie this around your waist." "What for?" "Itll let us know you got at least 300 feet." "Ill do it." "Are you throwing in with them?" "Me?" "No thanks." "I think your man there is a little too tightlywound." "Gonna get somebody killed." "But Im thinkin we could use that shotgun of yours." "I sawwhere you parked when I pulled in." "Red pickup, right?" "Far entrance?" "Son, you got brass balls." "The shells are in the glove compartment." "Drive it back." "All right." "Just see theyre paying out this line." "Lines up, llI cut her loose, just so you understand." "Yeah." "You sure theres no way I can talk you out of this?" "David... theres nothing out there." "Nothing in the mist." "What if youre wrong?" "Then, I guess... the joke would be on me after all." "Were gonna send back help." "Youll die out there." "All of you." "Hey, crazy lady, I believe in God too." "I just dont think hes the bloodthirsty asshole you make him out to be." "Well, you take that up with the devil when you run into him." "You just chat it over at your leisure." "Well, lets strike out toward the center of town." "Keep it loose." "Nice and easy." "Keep going." "Look." "Its going." "Theyre doing good." "Aah!" "Aaahhhh!" "Put it down!" "Ohh!" "Pull!" "Oh, my God!" "Im slipping!" "Pull!" "Back up!" "Back up!" "Back up!" "Get it off!" "Oh, my God." "Aw, sh..." "Blood!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "Cut the rope!" "Shut the door!" "Now do you see?" "Now do you believe?" "About a half-hour of daylight left." "Guys, how's it going with these work lights?" "Were gettin em rigged up all right." "Yeah, check it out." "All right, all right." "Save it, save it." "These batteries aint topped up." "You turn the lights on, its gonna drain em quick." "How quick?" " Five minutes, maybe ten." " Yeah, if that." "Okay, emergencies only." "If something gets in the store." "Holy Jesus, you scared the shit outta me." "Oh, Sally, Im sorry, really." "I thought Id come in and say hi and see how you were holding up." " Hi." " Hi." "Barely." "How about you?" "Im worried about my folks, I guess." "You know, they live up on Shorm Road." "Thats less than five miles from here." "How bout yours?" "Well, theyre out of town right now." "Theyre at my aunts in Boston, so..." "Thats lucky." "That means theyre okay." "I hope so." "So... how soon you shipping out?" "Uh, couple weeks." "Scared about going over there?" "Yeah." " Hey, Wayne?" " Hmm?" "How come you never asked me out?" "We flirted all through high school." "I know you like me." "So how come?" "Im stupid, I guess." "Oh, shit!" "Im sorry." "Dont be." "I just..." "I just didnt reallywant it to happen like this, you know?" "Some shitty locker room atwork." "Can we just stay in here a while, then?" "I mean, just... just you and me." "The parking lot lamps turned on." "Theyre on a timer." "Must be a different one thats live." "Maybe we could tie into them somehow, get some electricity in here." "Thatd mean walking out the door." "Gaaaahhhh!" "God!" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" "David!" "David!" "You sure?" "Look!" "My God." "Are those bugs?" "Not like any Ive ever seen." "They came out of the smoke, locusts upon the earth, and unto them was given power even as the scorpions of the earth have power." "Wow." "Look at those stingers." "Dear God." "Holy shit!" "Myron, get the ones in the back!" "God, I think theyre attracted to the light." "Look out, look out, look out!" "The light!" "Douse the light!" "Look out!" "Look out!" "Move!" "Move!" "Light, light, light, light, light!" "And there came a voice from the temple saying to the seven angels," "Go your ways and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth." "Ollie, the glass is gonna give!" "Shit!" "Oh, my God, they turned on all the lights!" "Jim!" "Myron!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Lighter!" "Douse the lights!" "Come on, come on!" "Aah!" "Whoa!" "Aah!" "Ugh!"

"Heres some tape!" "Im right here." "Im right here." "Dontworry." "Hurry up with the blankets!" "It hurts so bad!" "Please!" "It hurts so bad!" "Block it up here." "Get me some more bags!" "Did we get em?" "Did we get em all?" "She was right." "She said that itwould happen like this." "She said that theywould come at night." "She told us someone would die." "Mommy." "Ohh, shh, shh, shh." "Its okay." "Its okay, itwas just a dream." "Its just a bad dream." "I want my mommy." "I know." "I know." "Of course you do." " Shh." "I wanna go home." "Just sleep." "Everythingll be better in the morning." "Think he likes you." "Well, I hate that I had to lie to him." "You have kids?" "No." "I always wanted to, but... things havent been working out." "Right now Im thinking maybe thats for the best." "I saw creatures fly into the store tonight that... they shouldnt exist." "I keep thinking Im gonna wake up in a rubber room." "Youre not alone in that." "Were all right there with you." "This isnt gonna end, is it?" "David." "Its Joe." "Hes getting worse." "Joe." "How you holdin up, partner?" "David... is that you?" "Yeah, pal, how you doin?" "Its bad." "Hes bad." "Didnt know anything could hurt like this." "If you guys cant help me... you... you gotta end it, okay?" "Ollies got that gun, right?" "Right?" " No." "No way." "You cant fuck with me on this, bro." "Notwith me like this." "Ill do it." "Just give me the gun." "Hey, hey." "Shh." " Were not there yet, okay?" " Oh, please!" "Joe, now, listen." "Pal... were gonna work something out." "I just need you to hang in a little longer, okay?" "Can we do that?" "Staywith him." "Ill be back." "Hattie, I need to go to the bathroom." "Will you watch Billy?" "Hattie." "See anything?" "The last of those bugs went away about four." "Dawns coming." "Whats on your mind?" "Its Joe." "We dont get him on some serious antibiotics, hes gonna die of infection." "Plus he needs painkillers in the worstway." "All... all... all we got here is liquor and aspirin." "You... you thinkin about goin to that pharmacy next door?" "Irene Reppler says theyve got Silvadene... you know, the stuff they use in burn wards." "She knowss where they keep it." "Slow down." "You cant actually be thinkin of doin this." "Im also thinkin beyond that." "We have to get out of here." "I mean permanently." "Why?" "We got plenty to eat!" "What happens when one of those things decides to break through this window?" "Im talkin one of the big ones, like the one that killed Norm." "Yeah, and that flaming torch idea didntwork so well, did it?" "We almost burned the goddamn store down." "Its Hattie." "Here?" "All right, gently, now." "Gently." "One... two... three." "I dont know how long she was there like that, lying there next to us." "I thought she was sleeping." "I got my 4-wheel drive." "Its out there." "Y- youre talking about leaving?" "Well, we... should hit the pharmacy first." "We gotta bring back supplies for the injured." "I mean, if we dont," "Joe Eagletons gonna die, and we cant let that happen." "But after that... look, my Land Cruiser can hold eight people." "I saywe drive south as far as the fuel takes us and try to get clear of this mist." "Thats it?" "Thats the plan?" " Thats what I got." " No, you cant mean it." "Not after what happened to Norton and his group." "No, no, no." "Amanda, think." "Norton got over 200 feet from this store." "Thats how much rope played out." "Im parked half that distance from here." "Butwho knowss howfar this mist has spread?" "It could be the entire eastern seaboard." "Yeah, it could be the whole world, for all we know." "Wouldnt make us any less dead, now, would it?" "We have one gun." " How many rounds?" "We got ten left." "Ten rounds." "Jesus." "Okay, so ten." "Want another reason to get the hell out of here?" "llI give you the best one." "Her." "Mrs. Carmody." "Shes our very own Jim Jones." "Id like to leave before people start drinking the Kool-Aid." "Hes right." "Flakier people get, the better shes gonna look." "No, I dont buy that." "Its obvious shes nuts." "Look, a few people maybe, but..." "No, I count four." "Shes preaching to em right now." "By noon, shell have four more." "By tomorrow night, when those things come back, shell have a congregation, and then we can startworryin aboutwho shes gonna sacrifice to make it all better." "Hmm?" "You, Amanda?" "My little boy?" "Hes right." "You dont have much faith in humanity, do you?" "None whatsoever." "I cant accept that." "People are basically good, decent." "My God, David, were a civilized society." "Sure, as long as the machines are workin and you can dial 9-1-1, but you take those things away, you throw people in the dark, you scare the shit out of them, no more rules," "youll see how primitive they get." "You scare people badly enough, you can get em to do anything." "Theyll turn to whoever promises a solution, or whatever." "Ollie, please, back me up here." "I wish I could." "As a species, were fundamentally insane." "Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another." "Why do you think we invented politics and religion?" "Oh, Jesus, thats just... wrong" "Look, nobody has to decide anything now, okay?" "First things first... the pharmacy." "Thatll be our test run." "Okay?" "Its all right, Big Bill." "Im gonna bring you back some comic books." "I dontwant them." "I want you to stay here." "I wont be gone long." "Just... just next door." "Hey, youll be safe." "Daddy..." "Daddy, there are things out there." "Things..." "Yeah." "Theres a lot less of em in the daytime." "Theyll wait." "Theyll wait in the mist where you cant see em, and then when you go and cant get back in... theyll come and eat you up!" " Shh." " Daddy, dont go!" "llI be back." "Big Bill..." "I promise." "Ill be back, and then Im gonna take you home." "All right?" "Together, were going home." "If something happens, anything at all, you cut and run." "You get your ass back in here, for your boys sake." "If something happens to me, I want you to take care of Billy... best as you can, and long as you can." "Land Cruisers yours now." "You... you get him out of here." "You just keep drivin." "Where do you think youre going, Mr. David Drayton?" "Are you so anxious to make your boy an orphan?" "My boy is no concern of yours." "Listen up." "Were going to the pharmacy." "Were gonna bring back some supplies." "Also, there may be people trapped over there who need help." "Listen, folks, listen!" "Were not gonna take any chances." "If theres any trouble, well come straight back here to the supermarket." "And bring the fiends of hell down on our heads, thank you." "Shes right." "Youll make em notice us." "Youll make em come." "Why cant you just leave well enough alone?" "Lady, this what you call 'well enough?" "You wanna stop us?" "You better explain to Bobby here whywere not bringin painkillers and medicine back for his brother." "Im goin, even if I have to go alone." "Youll die out there, young man." "Youll walk out that door and be torn to shreds, and then your hell-bound pride will have them come get the rest of us." "Yes, theyll come back for all of us, just like this good lady said." "Do you want that to happen, people?" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Well, it is this kind of hubris that brought the wrath of God in the first place." "This kind of pride and defiance of..." "Shut up, you miserable buzzard!" "You old bitch!" "Stoning people who piss you off is perfectly okay." "They do it in the Bible, dont they?" "And I got lots of peas." "David, please, if you want to go, now's the time." "How bout it, Army?" "Any help from the armed forces?" "llI go." "Jim Grondin." "I had you in school, didnt I?" "Yesm, me and my sister Pauline." "Pair of underachievers." "After you, Jim." "Yes, maam." "Oh, shit." "That it?" "Thats everybody?" "Everybody thats goin." "Yep." " Okay." "Single file, one by one, all right?" "Lets get this thing over with." "Lets go." "After you." "Yes." "Stay together." "You knowwhat?" "Mrs. Carmody, youre not helping." "Shut the hell up!" " You shut up!" "Save the batteries." "Shit." "They left the doors propped open." "Think something got in?" "Lets just..." "getwhatwe need, get the hell outta here." "Yeah." "Lets do that." "The meds are over at the end there, in the cubicle." "Will you not do that?" "Im sorry." "Im sorry." "Oh, God." "Wheres that Silvadene?" "Its over behind David." "In the fridge." "Check there." "Silvadene." "Got it." " Good." " Ollie, what are we lookin for?" "Penicillin." "Yeah." "Any strong antibiotics." "Yeah." "Pain meds like Vicodin or OxyContin." "Shh!" " OxyContin!" "Hydrochloride?" "Penicillin." "Guys."

"What happened?" "Theyre dead!" "Theyre all dead!" "...expiation, because we have seen the earth scourged with whips and scorpions." "We have seen the earth vomit forth from her lips obscenities and profanities of such nightmare proportions." "And for these evil, lurking spirits, and for these evil people..." "How long was I out?" "Most of the day." "You just came over here to lay down and went to sleep." "Just passed out, is more like it." "Whatwill stop this Great Whore?" "Just shut down for a while." "Sorry." "Howwill it end?" "Expiation!" "Expiation!" "Do you remember yesterdaywhen..." "How's Joe?" "Dead." "Joe died of his burns while you were asleep." "We were just too late." "I told you this would come!" "Oh, God, I thought I was dreaming her voice." "No dream." "Shes getting people whipped up." "That poor girl is dead, and that boy is burnt in the back room!" "Shes got em believing shes a psychic, she has a direct line with God." "Whywouldnt they?" "Woman never shuts up." "Like those speeches Castro used to make." "Ollie says youre thinking of leaving." "Im in." "No." "Sorry." "I mean, come on, you sawwhat happened to Bobby..." "Mike..." "I wont... do that again." "I wont be responsible." "You mightwant to reconsider that." "Whatwill... whatwill keep these evil, these abominations at bay?" "Whatwill keep them away?" "The rock will not hide them." "The dead tree gives no shelter." "Whatwill end it?" "Let me hear it." " Expiation!" " What are we talking about?" " Expiation!" " Say it again like you mean it!" "Expiation!" "Welcome to Sesame Street." "Todays word is expiation." "Hallelujah!" "Hallelujah!" "That boy hasnt been right since the pharmacy." "His minds just snapped." "Gone." "Hasnt even been two days." "Not even two days." "Im not spendin the rest of my life here, llI tell you what." "I can quietly gather up some bags of groceries and hide them up at one of the check stands by the door." "Itwas your idea." "Its your vehicle." "Itll be your call." "Id rather die out there trying than in here waiting." "Who will save them?" "No one." "The rocks will not hide them." "I want some idea of whatwere up against." "I want to knowwhat this mist is." "I want to talk to the soldiers." "Soldiers?" "Whats that gonna do?" "You heard what that M.P. Said at the pharmacy." "David, Im not even sure I knew he was talking." "The situation was insane." "He said he was sorry." "Wasnt that the word he used... sorry?" "Thats right." "He said itwas their fault, right?" "What did he mean by that?" "Thats whatwere gonna find out." "Irene, staywith Billy, please." "Verse 17!" "...poured out his vial into the air, and there came a greatvoice out of the temple of heaven from the throne, saying," "It is done!" "It is done!" "And there were voices and lightning, and thunders, and a great earthquake." "Yes!" "Come to me!" "What?" " Wheres your friends?" " I aint seen em." "Not that big a store." "Its kinda hard to lose." "I aint seen em, I said." "I look like their keeper?" " What do you want from me?" " What do you know about this mist?" "I dont know nothin." "I got nothin to do with it." "Thats notwhat the M.P. Said in the pharmacy before the spiders came out of his skin." "Theyre not in the store." "The only place we havent looked is the loading dock." "...because you know." "You sawthe good face of God tonight." "Yes?" "Tell us." "Here is an old man who has seen!" "Yes, he has seen!" "Amen." "And I want to say, do I want to walk with you into my Fathers hands?" "Morales." "Donaldson." "Guys..." "Its the only place they can be." "What?" "Couldntjust disappear." "Look, I told you, okay, I dont knowwhere they are..." "I didnt think theyd do it." "They said theywould do it, and I just..." "I told them what the M.P. Said at the pharmacy, and they swore theyd do it." "I just..." "I didnt think theywould." "Jesus." "Its the Arrowhead Project, isnt it?" "This mist, its some kind of, what, military fuckup?" "Whatwere you guys messing with up there, huh?" "We got you now, you sorry son of a bitch!" "Get in there!" "Itwas them!" "Itwas them what done it to us!" "Itwas them what brung down the final wrath upon us!" "Those two peckerwoods that hes been with this whole time, they hung themselves in the back because they knew!" "They knew it all along!" " Hes crazy." "He doesnt know..." " Get on your knees!" "Stay out of it, Drayton!" "They heard it too, didnt you?" "All of ya!" "All about the Arrowhead Project and all that secret shit up on the mountain." "Thats what brung it down on us." "Thats what brung down the wrath of God!" "Oh!" "Private Jessup." "Itwasnt me." "Im just..." "Im stationed up there." "Im not responsible..." " Bullshit!" " Hell, Im a local!" "Most of you people know me." "You stop your chicken shitwhining or I will cut your puling tongue out." "Now you tell us!" "Tell us." "Look, look." "Okay, okay." "I heard stuff." "Stuff?" "Yes, we all heard stuff." "Like howthey, um, howthey thought that there were other dimensions, you know, other..." "other worlds all around us, and howtheywanted to try and make, um, a window... you know, so they could look through and see whats on the other side." "Well, maybe your window turned out to be a door." "Didnt it?" "Not mine!" "Those scientists!" "Oh, the scientists!" "Yes, the scientists!" "They must have ripped a hole open by accident." "This other world came spilling through to ours." "Thats what Donaldson was saying to me right before he killed himself." "I didnt understand the half of it." "It aint my fault!" "Oh." "Aint." "His." "Fault." "No, no, no." "Aint nothing ever anybodys fault." "But he denies it." "He points the finger, this Judas in our midst." "Judas!" "David!" "You!" "You!" "Dont you know by now?" "Dont you knowthe truth?" "We are being punished." "For what?" "For going against the will of God!" "For going against his forbidden rules of old!" "Walking on the moon!" "Yes!" "Yes!" " Or... or splitting his atoms!" "Amen!" "Or... or... or stem cells and abortions!" "And destroying the secrets of life that only God above has any right to!" "Amen!" "Amen!" "Yes, I know!" "It is true!" "And nowwe are being punished." "The judgment is being brought down upon us." "The fiends of hell, you see they are let loose, and star Wormwood blazes!" "And it is his fault!" "No!" "No!" "It is not my fault!" "No!" "They did it!" "They spit in the eye of the Almighty!" "No!" "Get over there!" "No!" "Judas!" "Jim!" "Kill him!" "String him up!" "Stand up, you coward!" "Unkh!" "Jesus!" "No!" "Aaaahhhh!" "Expiation!" " No!" "Stab him!" " Aaahhhh!" " Expiation!" "Feed him to the beast!" "Expiation!" "Let the abominations smell his blood!" "No, no!" "No!" "Aaaaahhhhh!" " Jesus!" "Wait!" " No, David!" "Aaahhhh!" "Aaahhhh!" "Aah!" "Aaahhh!" "Aaahhhh!" "Aaahhh!" "Aah!" "Please." "The beastwill leave us alone tonight." "Tomorrow... tomorrow, well just have to wait and see." "Daddy." "Daddy." "Sorry I left you, pal." "Ill never leave you again." "Promise?" "But you have to give me your best promise, okay?" "Your very best promise, and can never break it." "Tell me." "Promise you wont let the monsters get me." "Ever." "No matter what." "I promise." "I love you, Daddy." "I love you, Billy." "More than anything." "Its dawn." "Hey, pal, you ready to go home?" "Come on." "Okay, I got the groceries hidden at check stand number two." "Five bags." "We can grab em and get out the door." "Okay." "My cars parked in the center lane of the parking lot, far end." "Whoever gets there first, open up both doors, and well all pile in as fast as we can, okay?" "Lets go." "Stealing food now?" "Going out now, Mrs. Carmody." "Please stand aside." "You cant go out." "I wont allow it." "Wont allow it?" "Its against Gods will." "Dont you knowthat by now?" "Havent I proven myself again and again and again?" "Havent I shown that I am his vessel?" "Whats the matter with you?" "Dont you believe in God?" "No ones interfered with you." "All were asking for is the same privilege." "You heard him." "It is these people who brought this upon us." "They... people who refused to bend to the will of God, and claim it privilege." "Sinners in pride." "Yes, haughty." "Privileged!" "They mock us." "They mock our..." "our God, our faith, our values, our very lifestyle." "They mock our humility and our piousness." "They piss on us and laugh." "Its from them the blood of human sacrifice must come." "From them..." " Come on." "... the blood of expiation." "Come on." "You try it." "Fuckin try it!" "Come on!"
