" Want to check out the house?" " Sure." "You said October 19th?" "My mother used to talk about that day all the time." "She said it was the day I was going to die." "DIANA:" "All my life I've had this thing hanging over my head and Abby's." "I just don't believe anyone can predict my future." "And what does it matter, anyway?" "We all die in the end." "I don't want to know what my future holds." "Last year, my wife was on a business trip to Phoenix a few days before my birthday" "and a fire started in her hotel at 4:00 in the morning." "The investigators said that Allison died of smoke inhalation." "Died in her sleep." "She wouldn't have known anything about it." "While she was dying, I was at home, in the front yard." "I always thought you were supposed to sense when the people you love are in danger," "but I didn't feel anything." "Nothing." "I was just blowing leaves off the lawn." "I'm so sorry, John." "Well, but my point is that from then on," "I decided that no one can know what was coming, and life was just a string of random accidents and mistakes." "And then I got that list." "If that had come to me before Allison left, I would have saved her life." "I need to know." "It's still here." "What's this?" "Have you seen this?" "Abby used to do this sometimes, write things backwards, and that last number, I don't think it's 33." "It's EE." "EE?" "Initials." "Someone she knew?" "I don't know." "DIANA:" "I was nine when she overdosed." "The only time I ever came out here was with my father when he identified her body." "She willed the property to me, but I never came back for any of her things." "When I was little, my mother used to tell me that she could hear voices whispering to her," "telling her horrible things." "And then one day, my dad came and took me away from her." "He said she was sick." "She said she moved out here to get ready." "I never knew what she meant by that." "I made this for her one Christmas." "I never knew she kept it." "She used to stare at this picture for hours." "DIANA:" "That's where they found her." "In there." "Have you seen enough?" "Yeah." "Okay." "We'll go." "(VOICES WHISPERING)" "Abby?" "Abby?"

"(TWIGS SNAPPING)" "Hey, lock the doors." "(PANTING)" "What do you want with my son?" "Answer me!" "(PANTING)" "JOHN:" "I just know they've been following us for days." "I think someone's been following me and Abby, too." "That's why she didn't write any coordinates down after the final date." "There isn't a single location this time." "Are you telling me that my mother could see the end of everything?" "That we're all going to die tomorrow?" "She was disturbed, John." "She could've just made it all up." "She's been right so far, Diana." "About everything." "Abby's..." "Abby's all I've got, John." "I can't let anything happen to her." "(JOHN SIGHS)" "Caleb, you really need to sleep." "I can hear them whispering to me sometimes like Abby can." "Could Lucinda hear them, too?" "(SIGHS)" "Yeah, I think she did." "Yes." "Are me and Abby gonna die?" "No." "I will never let that happen, Caleb." "Do you hear me?" "Never." "You..." "Abby, what do you like to eat for breakfast?" "Abby?" "What are you doing, honey?" "It's the sun." "There's something I need to check." "Get Abby, you're coming with us." "Caleb!" "Okay." "All right." "Hey, John, what happened?" "Hey!" "Talk to me." "What happened?" "I've been calling you off the hook ever since I heard about the subway." "John?" "Do you remember that paper on extra-solar activity I published?" "Yeah, sure, I remember." "I found evidence of a series of super-flares from a star in the outer-Pleiades region." "PHIL:" "Right." "Ratings were off the chart." "(SIGHS)" "We were both wrong." "The numbers are a warning, but not just to me or any random group." "They're a warning to everyone." "Okay." "You're officially scaring the shit out of me right now." "The super-flare, in our own solar system." "A 100 microtesla wave of radiation that would destroy our ozone layer, killing every living organism on the planet." "We have to let everyone know." "We have to call the NOAA." "They already know." "The announcement will come anytime now." "I thought there was some purpose to all of this." "Why did I get this prediction if there's nothing I can do about it?" "How am I supposed to stop the end of the world?" "(DIANA GASPS)" "Go home, Phil." "Be with Kim tonight." "Diana." "(CRYING) I'm so stupid." "I've spent my whole life knowing she was right and pretending that she was insane." "If we hide underground, we've got a chance, don't we?" "It's possible." "I know some caves off Route 40 past Groton." "Hardly anyone knows about them, but I used to play there as a child." "We could try there, right?" " Okay." " Okay." "Caleb, put some clothes and shoes into your backpack." "Diana, load all the non-perishable food, any water you can, into the truck." "Let's try to be out of here in 10 minutes." "DIANA:" "You start." "I'll get some bags." "ABBY:" "Yeah." "(FEEDBACK SCREECHING)" "(VOICES WHISPERING)" "JOHN:" "Allison wanted me to call you the day she left for Phoenix."

"That sermon you preached every year at Pentecost, about the gifts of the Spirit, one was the gift of prophecy." "1 Corinthians 12." "Yes, I remember it." "The church should respect the prophet." "I have a prophecy." "It's about to be proven accurate." "I need you to respect it and receive it as the truth." "This heat we're experiencing isn't going to get better." "It's going to get worse, much worse." "I need you to get Mom and Grace and any supplies you can, and get below ground tonight." "The basement, the sewer, the T." "Just get as deep as you can and as fast as you can." "And that will keep us safe from this heat?" "I don't know that, but we have to try, right?" "(STATIC CRACKLING)" "I'm sorry, John, but I'm afraid I'm not going anywhere tonight or any night." "I appreciate your concern, but if it's my time, it's my time."

"John, please, why are we back here?" "John, please, what are you doing?" "We have to get to the caves." " We're not going to the caves." " What?" "She knew the coordinates for this last event." "She tried to write them down." "The teacher said she was interrupted, ran out of time, so she scratched them into this door." "She tried to tell us where to go." "You're not making any sense." "Look at you." "Look at what you're doing!" "The numbers are the key to everything." "Please!" "Please, John, we need to leave!" "We're taking my car." "Come on." "Let's go." "Keep your bags with you." "Be here, please, be here." "Throw it in the back." "What about Dad?" "He's just gotta finish what he's doing." "He's gonna follow us."
