"Damn." "You look even uglier than you did yesterday." "Yeah?" "Well, you sound like a hillbilly." "Hey, I got something for you." "I know you like that kind of stuff." "Thanks, man." "What does it say?" "I never made it to cursive." "How far have you gone?" "North?" "Yeah." "Here." "All right, everyone." "Take your seats." "Class is starting." "Oh, here comes tough dude how about you shut up?" "Sit down!" "No more fucking around." "Yo!" "Teach said shut the fuck up!" " Shut up!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Get off." " Hey!" "" "Come on, get up." "Get up." "Stand up yourself." "Pussy!" "Hey!" "Do you wanna walk the line?" "Hmm?" "No, sir." "Sorry, sir." "Yeah." "Pussy!" "Leave the class." "Start it off." "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America." "There is no before." "There is no yesterday." "There is only today." "And today, i prepare for tomorrow." "Today, we're going to learn how to find clean water." "The single most important thing you need to live is water." "If you're resourceful, know where to look, you can find it, collect it, go drink your water just about anywhere." "If you're lost in the wild, chances are you'll be exerting yourself." "And you may be in a hot or cold environment." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Getting supplies." "Hold up." "You're wanted back at the class." "Get to class!" "Yes, sir, brother, sir." "All right, everybody." "Okay." "So how many of you all ever been to a hospital?" "Any of you all ever break a bone?" "Okay, listen." "Tell me what it's about." "All right." "That was three bells." "That was three, right?" "Yeah!" "Let's see who it is." "The rules are the rules." "One of us has broken the rules." "One of us has something they shouldn't have." "This doesn't belong here anymore." "He turned his back on us, so we turn our backs on him." "Bring him out." "Gentry." "It's your turn to judge a rule breaker." "The line." "Hey, hey, hey, hey." "You made a choice." "You can't be here anymore." "We live together here, or we fend for ourselves out there." "I'm sorry." "Once you walk through to the other side, you can't return." "You leave the way you got here, with whatever you carried on your back." "It'sfear thatkeepsus here, fearofwhat'sout there." "Starvation, isolation, predators." "Thesethingsexistheretoo." "Oh, dude." "I wish it was that guy from the first period." "Yeah." "Did you see that?" "He nearly actually pissed himself." "Oh, shut up!" "You'd shit yourself if you walked the line." "Hey!" "Jesus!" "Where the fuck have you been?" "Why, did you miss me?" " Miss you?" " What?" "Hey, come on, bro." "Hi!" "Your dad will be home in a sec, Willie too." "Go finish your homework." "I did." "You're a horrible liar." "Sit down." "How's school?" "The same." "How's work?" "Same." "Smart ass." "Want to trade?" "Not a chance." "Hey!" "You on your way?" "Martin, stop fucking around." "What?" "Where?" "What..." "What are you talking about?" "Martin, I'm listening, I..." "I just don't understand." "What happened?" "God!" "Ha-ha!" "Got him." "You see that?" "Jack needs to walk this line." "Oh!" "You see that?" "Hey, fuck you." "Trigger line." "Bait stick." "Snare." "Remember them, they're important." "In case you run into one, you're gonna have to learn how to dismantle an ied or tripwire." "What?" "Water's for everyone." "Oh, I think you've got some work to do over there." "Thirsty." "No?" "Oh." "Oh, yeah, okay." "You're right." "You're right." "The water is for everyone." "Um..." "I'm sorry." "I just..." "Hey, here you go." "Oh." "We don't know how much longer we have left on this planet." "Might as well try to enjoy it, right?" "Fuck!" "Shit." "Fuck!" "Caleb!" "No, he didn't do anything!" "Are you crazy?" "Thirsty?" "Hey!" "Um..." "I want to show you something." "Yeah, all right." "You brought me all the way here." "You did this?" "Yeah." "Where does it go?" "Somewhere safe." "How do you know that?" "I don't." "But I believe it." "I'm leaving tomorrow before the first bell." "I can't go back now." "Gentry's not going to let what happened today slide." "I should go, if Caleb knew I was here..." "I found this today." "You know what it is?" "A leaf?" "Means fall is coming early." "Did you see that pile of wood outside the school?" "Mmm-hmm." "Early fall means early winter." "How long do think that wood will really last in the winter?" "First snowfall, we have two weeks' worth of supplies at best." "Even less food." "How many kids we got at school now, like 50?" "How many do you think we'll have in the coming spring?" "What do you suppose we do about it?" "When it happened, we were driving north." "My dad said it would be safe there." "He heard all these stories about them taking survivors up there even after that night." "Maybe there's a reason." "Those stories..." "They're just stories." "You can't just go north." "You don't know what's out there." "I know what's here." "So what's stopping you?" "I should go." "Hey." "Just think about it." "And Jessie?" "Don't tell anyone." "Okay?" "Just cut all of it off." "Barber Connor over here doing pretty good." " I got next." " All right." "Hey, let me get that score, bro." "Hey, are you okay, man?" "Yo, what happened today exactly?" "I told you." "Nasty kid just stacked some wood and he just flipped out." "What can you do?" "Want a beer?" "Where were you?" "Get inside." "I said, where were you?" "Caleb, it's almost dark outside." "Are you crazy?" "Hey, guess what?" "It's none of your damn business." ""Where were you?"" "Geez." "What, are you trying to act like dad again?" "Are you drunk?" "I said, get in the damn house!" "Fine!" "Or don't." "Whoa." "Hey!" "Caleb!" "No!" "You asshole!" "This is dad's favorite picture!" "He..." "Jessie!" "Dad's dead." "Okay?" "Well, if he is dead, at least he's not here to see how you turned out." "It's okay." "Hey." "It's almost dark, man, I'm gonna head home." "It's cool." "Mmm-hmm." "Hey!" "What?" "Well, I've been thinking about today..." "Yeah?" "I can't let that kind of shit happen anymore." "All right." "You know, winter's coming and..." "And then what?" "We need all these kids to be working." "All of them." "Yeah." "You're right." "That fucking kid's got to get it tomorrow." "No?" "You want all these kids to work, we've got to make an example out of the bad ones, right?" "Yeah." "But just him, okay?" "Okay." "That's it." "All right." "All right." "Can I go now?" "Yeah." "I'll see you tomorrow." "See you tomorrow." "Mom, what's going on?" "We have to go." "Where?" "Up to the cabin." "Come on, let's go." "Oh, my god." "There's blood on you!" "Are you hurt?" "It's not mine." "Come on, let's move!" "You ready?" "Yes." "Together." "On three, okay?" "One, two, three!" "Thereisno before, thereisno tomorrow," "thereisonlytoday." "Andtoday,everythingchanges." "Today,I leave thisshitholebehind." "Whateverisup there, doesn'tmatter." "Anything'sbetterthanhere." "Somepeoplesay there'snothingup north." "Somesay there'sothersup there." "Survivors." "Idon'tknowwhatI'll find , butI knowwhereI'm going." "Whoa..." "You're late." "I'm here, aren't I?" "Are you ready?" "Yeah, let's go see what's out there." "All right." "Let's go!" "Jessie!" "Jessie!" "So, where are we going?" "North." "That way." "For how long?" "So, we're here, we have to go there." "So, better get moving." " Well, there he is." "Ooh!" "What's up, man?" "What's up?" "You're late." " They're gonna make you walk the line." "That's a good one." "Except you know this place would fall to shit without me." "That's true." "It's true." "Did you see my sister this morning?" "Nope." "It's weird, man." "I woke up and she was just gone." "You did make her cry last night, man." "Maybe she ran out." "Probably still running." "That's not funny, man." "I didn't say it was." "Look." "She's probably skipping." "Don't worry about it." "Maybe she's already inside." "Well, you know, that Josh pussy never came to school neither." "It's a shame." " I had a surprise for him." "Today, we're going to learn about tracking." "Hunting animals for food isn't a skill that comes easily." "To find your prey, you have to know the basics." "Easiest places to find tracks are snow, wet sand..." "Not here." "Let's go." "Let's go in and eat." "Where'd you get all this stuff?" "I've been saving my rations every other day." "Josh, I can't eat this." "It's your food." "You should've eaten this before." "There is no before, remember?" "And besides, it's all of ours." "I've brought enough for both of us." "How'd you know I'd come?" "I didn't." "You're stupid." "Good stupid." "We're going to be okay." "No one knows where we're going." "You know, I've never ditched school before." "I have, once." "Really?" "When?" " Today." "Bet I can hit it before you." "No way." "Go ahead." " I'm gonna aim for the south of it." "Okay." "Yo, what're you doin', man?" "Jessie!" "Hey, pussy, we're here!" "Yo, Caleb." "Yo, I'm in here." "What the fuck is this?" "I don't know." "It's obviously something he didn't want us to see." "Oh, fuck." "It's a map." "We can't spare you." "What if everybody else thinks they can just leave?" "We need everybody." "He's right." "Give me the key." "Look, I'm gonna find her." "I'm gonna bring her back." "It's the only way to make sure everyone keeps working." "And Josh?" "We'll handle him." "This is the only way through." "Come on." "Be careful." "Is this safe?" "Probably not." "It'sa funnything whathappenswhen noone'sin charge." "Everyoneadapts." "Patientsruntheasylum." "Theinsanebecomethe rulers." "Theywritethelaws." "Therestof us , we'rejustinmates." "Jump." "I'm scared of heights." "I really didn't think this partnership through." "Now, you'll be fine." "Come on." "There you go." "See?" "Wasn't that bad." "Yeah." "Oh, yeah!" "Bro, yeah!" "It's not a joke." "Okay." "This could be fun, you know." "Josh!" "What the fuck is that?" "Holy shit." "We've got to find a different route." "It's going to get dark." "You know, why don't you just go back if you think you can make it?" "Just joking." "No walking as the crow flies." "Fuck." "It's gonna take a while before we can catch up to them." "Well, let's go." "All right." "It's getting dark." "We should find a place to sleep." "What about that?" "You ever been sailing?" "Think this is safe enough?" "Climb aboard." "Aye, aye, captain." "Where did you get that?" "I stole it from my brother." "What do you think?" "It's not bad." "I hear it's addictive." "You think Simon is still out there somewhere?" "Yeah." "Maybe somewhere." "So, what's up there, where we're going?" "My mom and dad's cabin." "Yeah, but..." "What's really up there?" "What did you wanna be when you grow up?" "You go first." "Firefighter." "Your turn." "I wanted to be a cop." "A cop?" "Yep." "Why did we get so lucky?" "We're lucky?" "We're still here." "Maybe they're all still out there somewhere." "Maybe." "What the hell is happening up there?" "Nothing's moving." "There's nowhere to go." "Stayindoors untilfurthernotice." "Seekshelter." "Donottravelsouth." "Evacuationpoints willbeannouncedshortly." "Shortly, my ass." "Dad, I'm scared." "We're gonna be okay." "What if we're not?" "Well, then, we'll just have to make it okay, then." "What are you thinking?" "I don't know but we can't stay here." "There's a back road over there..." "How do you know it's safe?" "Well, I don't." "But we can stay here or we can do something." "Hang on." "Josh." "What?" "There's something outside the boat." "Josh!" "Do you think these are the dogs from around school?" "I don't know." "We need to get out of here before they come back." "What are you doing?" "Just finding some breakfast." "All right." "Come on." "We should just keep going." "You got somewhere you need to be?" "Come on, don't you wanna see inside?" "No, not really." "It'll just be a minute." "We need to go." "What's wrong?" "We just need to go." "So, where to next?" "Library." "For once no one's making us go to school and you wanna go check out a book?" "Trust me." "Okay." "What's that smell?" "What?" "Is that perfume?" "Yeah." "Do you like it?" "Yeah." "I think so." "Is it supposed to be that strong?" "I don't know." "I've never used perfume before." "There's a harbor behind the library." "Find a boat, and then we can take the river." "I wanna show you something." "All right, captain." "It's beautiful." "Come on." "What is it?" "My parents." "M.G. Loves c.S." "Your parents were vandals." "Is there a story there?" "They met here when they were in college." "I don't think I'm gonna go to college." "What about you?" "What are you doing?" "Leaving a message." "Go." "Check over there." "Check up there." "Caleb." "Look what I found." " Where did you get this?" " It was down the hall." "Maybe the dogs got 'em." "Come on, this way, this way." "This way!" "Josh." "Come on." "It's fucking locked." "Hey, help us." " Help, help." " Josh!" "Help!" "Get in." "Ya'll trying to get yourself killed or something?" "Crazy-ass fuckers!" "Oh." "So, they lost all their gear." "They're fucked, man." "Well, she left, remember?" "Hey." "Maybe now they'll just head back." "Not taking that chance." "You know, you two crazy being out here on your own." "You're on your own." "Yeah, but I got this." "Is it loaded?" "What do you mean, "is it loaded?"" "What's your name?" "The name's boatman." "Where are you from?" "From earth." "Been out here since it happened." "Won't have to see it all much longer, I think." "What do you mean?" "How old do you think I am?" " Seventeen?" "Eighteen?" "Nope, 22." "The oldest person I seen since it happened." "Since that night, you ever seen anyone older than me?" "No." "I don't think so." "Mortality's changed, man." "You don't know that." "When is your birthday?" "July 30th." "And you?" "We don't really celebrate birthdays anymore." "It's the day after tomorrow." "Well, for me, I just take this one day at a time." "As long as I keep waking up, we're good." "So where are you two headed, anyway?" "No, no, no, no, no, no, no." "What?" "My map, it's in my bag." "Shit!" "If they find my bag, they're gonna know where we're going." "We're lost." "How you lost if you're here?" "I don't know the way without the map." "Just keep moving forward." "Maybe the way will find you." "We're not lost." "What are you talking about?" "I know where we are." "I know where to go." "Where?" "Over there." "All right." "This is as far as I take you." "Hey, look." "Things gonna happen." "Things always happen." "Whether it is good or bad, things always happen for a reason." "Hmm?" "Oh, and hey..." "Be careful." "Are we going the right way?" "Yeah, we are." "See those chimes?" "My dad and I used to walk by them all the time." "Okay." "Ugh!" "We reek." "Come on." "What, you're gonna get in the pool with your clothes on?" "Oh!" "Come on." "I'm not a very good swimmer." "I'm not going to let you drown." "If you do, it's on you." "I got you." "Okay." " You're good?" "Yeah." "So fucking cold." "It's not that bad." "What was that?" "Don't tell me that's a fucking flat." "Shit." "It's flat." "Fuck!" "Fuck." "We have a spare?" "Please tell me we have a spare." "No." "No." "No." "There's no way." "So stupid." "Can't believe i thought they'd still be alive." "This doesn't mean anything." "That's why we're going north." "It's gonna be okay." "Just turn around." "We can't." " Just go back home." "Let's just go back home." "We can't!" "We can't go back." "Emergencybroadcast." "Stayindoors untilfurthernotice." "Seekshelter, donnottravelsouth." "Evacuationpoints willbeannounced..." "Go north." "Go north." "Go back to that." "What was that?" "I don't know." "Did you hear that?" "My nose is bleeding." "Dad, watch out!" "This is it." "Home." "Let's go inside." "Shouldhavejuststayedhere ." "Way better than where we ended up." "Batteries still work." "This was my dad's favorite song." "I haven't heard music in forever." "Jessie!" "They're here." "Where did you get that?" "Quit it." "Josh." "No!" "Hey!" "Watch out!" "What the fuck was that?" "You just killed a dog, man." "We gotta get the fuck out of here." "Go." "Drive around them." "Turn the light off." "Turn the light off." "Josh?" "Josh." "Josh!" "I'm here." "I'm here." "Where were you?" "I..." "You can't just do that." "You can't just disappear." "Jess..." "What if something happened to me?" "Jess, I..." "What if something happened to you?" "I'm sorry." "I wanted to surprise you." "Come on." "I wanna show you something." "Josh, this is stupid." "Don't peek." "I can't see anything." "You're covering my eyes." "Okay, come here." "Okay, you ready?" "Hmm... ready." "Okay." "I was gonna get you a cake, but all the stores were closed this morning." "Why did you do this, Josh?" "It's your birthday." "Yeah, but you know we don't celebrate birthdays and..." "I don't like surprises." "Well, I mean, i just thought that..." "You thought what?" "Why the fuck would I celebrate one year closer to dying?" "You don't know that." "Neither do you." "Oh, no." "What the fuck is that, man?" "Sticks and bones." "Holy shit." "Spooky." "Hey, guys, maybe we should just..." "Maybe we should just what?" "Look, look at this shit." "Let's just go back." "We're not going back." "Why not, man?" "Skulls and bones in the middle of the place, man." "Get out of the fucking car!" "What the fuck?" "Just get out of my damn car!" "What the fuck, man?" "Get out, you little punk!" "What's your problem?" "Fuck off!" "Just fuck off!" "What's your problem, man?" "Gentry, what the fuck are you doing?" "They are dead weight." "You wanna find your fucking sister?" "Let's just go." "I'm fucking serious." "Fuck." "Wait for me." "Come on." "Keep walking." "I'm sorry." "No." "You were right." "No, I wasn't." "Thank you." "It was really nice." "Hey, stop the car." "Stop the car!" "Just stop." "There's a river up ahead." "I should get out here." "If you move up and around it, we can cut 'em off." "You sure?" "Mmm-hmm." "All right." "Gentry?" "Don't do anything until I get there." "I won't." "Hurry up." " Hurry." "I miss ice cream the most." "What flavor?" "Well, that's easy." "Mint chocolate chip." "What about you?" "I'd settle for a warm shower." "We're almost there." "We're not coming back." "Well, he's not." "You..." "I don't really care if you do or not." "Hey, look." "Just don't hurt her." "I'll come back." "I'll walk the line." "Walk the line?" "You don't get it, do you?" "I am the line." "Jessie, get up and go to the car." "No!" "He stays." "Caleb, please." "He didn't take me." "I left." "I left." "Just like him." "Oh." "Where did you get this, gentry?" "How many?" "All of them." "Jessie, get up and go to the car." "Uh-uh." "Jessie, go!" "No." "Gentry, stop." "I'll do it." "You don't kill people." "Caleb!" "Caleb!" "No!" "Maybethereis no god, liketheysay." "Ifigure it'slikemothernature." "Wereallydon'tmake muchdifferenceto her." "We'rehereforawhile andthenwe 'regone."
