Can you hear me?
Dad, can you hear me?
You don't need to fight it.
You can just let it all go.
Everything's okay.
I love you, dad.
I do.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, god...
Come on, son.
Okay now...
Can lay you back for me, bud?
I'm gonna...
I'm just gonna lay you back, okay?
Okay.
You wanna say anything?
Bye, grandpa.
I love you.
I'm sorry, bud.
You done?
He has to be involved...
In everything from now on...
Everything.
If he's not, then we're doing him a disservice.
I don't care, Paul...
He's 17.
He shouldn't have been there.
He shouldn't have seen that.
I couldn't have done it all on my own, Sarah.
I should've been there.
I should've been there instead.
Nobody's gonna blame you for that.
He's gonna be fine.
Everything's gonna be okay.
You don't honestly believe that?
Do you?
Sarah, I'm just trying...
I'm trying to do everything I can to protect you guys.
It's been a really long day.
Can we get some rest...
Hey, Stanley.
Don't worry.
I'm gonna take care of you.
- Wake up. - What's going on?
- There's somebody in the house. - What?
There's somebody in the house!
Stop...
Dad...
Take Stanley.
Let's go!
Wait. Stay back.
Wait!
Paul! Wait!
- Hey, hey! - Get down!
Hey, hey, hey!
Put the gun down now!
Put the gun down, or I'll drop you right now!
Okay, okay.
- Down! - It was an accident.
No one needs to get hurt.
All right, hands in the air!
Now...
Lie down.
Now!
Roll over.
Roll over!
Are you sick?
No, sir.
Open your eyes!
- Is anybody else with you? - No.
If I go outside, there's nobody out there waiting for me?
- All right, close your eyes. - Please!
Wait! Wait!
Sarah...
Come now.
Come on.
- Take this. It's loaded. - What's going on?
There's a guy in there, i need you to watch him.
Come on.
Let's go!
- I want you to keep quiet! - Quiet.
Did you kill him?
He's just unconscious.
Are you two okay?
Travis...
I'm gonna need you to get some rope and some duct tape.
C'mon, Stanley, come on!
- Are you okay? - I'm fine.
If he comes to...
Just call out.
Okay.
I'll be right back.
It's me.
Paul?
It's me! Open up.
I think it's just him.
Push him against the tree.
You know what a foot and a half is?
- Sorry - it's about that long.
- Sorry. - That's all right.
Do it again. It's okay.
Yeah.
Now put it around his face.
He still has to be able to breathe, dad.
Put it around.
He can breathe out his nose.
Okay, put it up.
Hey!
Get up!
Get on your feet now.
You see this?
I don't want to have to use this, but I will if I have to.
I just wanna talk.
And I want honest answers.
If you give me honest answers,
then this is yours.
Understand?
Why'd you break into my house?
I promise...
I promise you, I...
I didn't think anyone was in it.
There's no lights, and things boarded up.
It looked abandoned from the outside.
- What were you looking for? - Water...
Supplies, anything.
My family...
I have a family...
My wife and our boy in the woods.
Where?
An abandoned house, about 50 miles from here.
- Why'd you leave them? - We're running out of water.
I left them with the rest of the food and water,
- I thought it'd be safer that way. - Are they sick?
No.
- Is that why you left them? - No, sir, they are not sick.
I don't even have to shoot you, i could just leave you out here.
- You want this water? - Yeah.
You make me believe you.
I'm telling you the truth.
I don't know how much time they have.
How long have you been living in this abandoned house?
About a week, tops.
How'd you get there?
My truck broke down, it's the first place that we found.
- Where were you before? - My brother's.
Where?
About 80 or so miles from here.
Why'd you leave?
Lost our water supply.
- So your brother's out there, too? - No.
- Where did he go? - He's dead.
So it's just your wife and your son? And nobody else?
Just them.
And do you have any idea what's going on out there?
No.
As soon as people in the city started getting sick,
got out, got as far away as possible.
If there's a grid left, I don't even know how to be on it.
So you're out there driving 80 miles,
- and you didn't see anything? - No.
We didn't see anything or anyone.
We drove at night.
Our truck broke down, I'd been running it without oil.
When I was by myself, i just stuck to the woods
and I saw nothing.
Look, look at my eyes.
I'm telling you the truth.
I never would've broken in like that
if I thought the house was occupied,
but I was desperate.
I got no hard feelings at you.
You did what you had to, you had to protect your family.
But if you can spare some water
for my family, i can trade for it.
Got food.
How much?
Got plenty to trade for.
I'm asking how much?
Two goats, six chickens, some canned food as well.
Are the animals healthy?
Yes, sir.
I promise you, if you need food, I have it.
My family is all that matters to me.
I know you can understand that.
You're a good person.
You're just trying to protect your family.
But don't let mine die cause of it.
Help me, and I can help you.
Okay.
- Thank you. - C'mon.
Did he mention the smoke?
What?
The smoke from dad.
I don't know. Why?
That's probably how he found us.
I think if he does have a family out there
that we should consider bringing them back here.
That's a big jump.
Everything he said could be a lie.
I know that.
I know that you want to believe him.
Is that wrong?
We just gotta be smart about it, we can't be emotional...
I'm not being emotional.
He knows where we live now.
We can't just let him go.
The more people we have here, the better we can defend it.
He found us, other people will too.
They could bring the animals here.
We wouldn't have to just trade for them.
It's the smartest option.
I'm not bringing anyone back here until I know they're not sick.
It took bud less than a day to show signs.
I'll wait there three to be certain.
- You be strong. - Yeah.
Don't go outside unless you absolutely have to.
And if I don't come back...
Don't come looking for me.
I'm going to try to help you and your family.
Thank you.
But if you're lying to me...
I will kill you.
- Understand? - Yes, sir.
C'mon.
- Have you ride in the back. - Okay.
When we're out on the road...
Keep your eyes open for anything.
All right.
Are we good?
We're good.
- You give me directions. - Yep.
Keep going straight!
Stay on this!
Oh fuck, fuck...
Get your hands down!
Get back!
Get back! Get up!
Wait!
You didn't have to shoot him right away!
What are you talking about? They came after us!
Fuck!
Do you know this guy?
Huh?
Do you know him?
You said you traveled 80 miles, you didn't see a fucking thing!
And we barely get 10 and this fucking happens!
I've never seen this guy before in my life!
I nearly killed him myself!
Why'd you tell me not to shoot him?
Because we coulda got information from him!
He coulda been part of a bigger group nearby.
Christ!
I ain't lying to you!
Fuck!
Ah, fuck.
- What's your name? - Huh?
Your name? What's your name?
Will.
Okay, will...
There's a mask and gloves in the bag.
You better put them on.
And wash your fucking hands, too.
Fuck!
Oh, fuck...
- Anything? - No, nothing.
I gotta check the other guy.
We gotta be quick.
- Spare in the trunk? - Yeah.
How you doin'?
Hey, Stanley?
How you doin', buddy?
- Mom! - What?
Mom, it's dad!
It's dad, he's back, he's okay!
Slow down.
Hey...
Come on, it's okay.
Hey.
- Hello dad. - Are you okay?
Yeah, we had a little trouble. Talk to you about it later.
Sarah, Travis...
This is will...
His wife, Kim, and their son, Andrew.
- Hello. - Hi.
This is my wife, Sarah, and my son, Travis.
Hi.
- How you doin'? - All right.
You doin' okay?
- Yeah. - Good as can be.
All right, well...
Let's get everything unloaded, and show you the house.
- Maybe have a wash-up. - Yeah.
When we're inside the house, the door to the back room
stays closed and locked, the one you came through.
And the door leading to the back room
also stays closed and locked,
all the time, the red door.
I have the keys,
the only set.
Or Sarah will have them.
It's the only way in and out of the house.
Everything else you see is all boarded up.
Most important thing,
we never go out at night,
unless it's an absolute emergency.
Even when we do go out during the day,
we like to stick to groups of two
just for safety,
you know, collecting wood or water, whatnot.
Same thing goes for trips to the bathroom,
which is a ways from the house.
At nighttime, we use buckets and empty them...
We can talk about that another time.
Firearms?
We keep them locked and squared away
in a safe in our room.
We'd like to do the same with yours, just for now.
Thank you.
And meals we eat together, twice a day,
just for the sake of food rationing, I guess.
Everybody cleans their own dishes,
and generally puts things away where they belong.
It's just the way we like to run things,
and we think it's important
to keep a routine and stay busy.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a few things.
There's plenty of time to work out all the details.
Overload...
Well, just settle in and...
We'll get working in the morning.
And welcome.
That's perfect.
- Thank you. - Thank you very much.
Welcome, buddy.
He's hiding.
Why you hidin'?
...and he is tall and blond...
Ah yeah?
He's a...He's a surfer.
- He's a surfer? - That's cute.
Shut up.
There's holes in this story.
(Sound of Andrew playing with dinosaur toy]
Ow!
Ow...
(Kim laughing]
Terra keeps biting my foot.
Ow!
Terra just bit my toe.
Son of a bitch.
Tell him to stop biting my toe.
Maybe you could...
Get in the bath.
What?
Maybe you could get in the bath?
Do I smell?
No...
Those subtle hints you drop, Jesus Christ almighty.
You don't smell great yourself.
You smell like onion soup.
Like French onion soup.
That sounds so good.
You look pretty.
I feel like you just say that when I look the ugliest.
That's when you need it the most.
Thanks!
Bud's property extends...
Another half mile this way.
I come down here because i can see down into the valley,
and see if...
You know, every now and then, if I see anything.
You wanna come down with your legs.
It's gonna feel awkward,
but like you're sitting on the shitter.
You just sit down on it.
No, measure it out first.
Make sure you have your distance.
Then when you come over the top, you bring it straight over,
like tomahawk style,
not over the shoulder.
- Straight down the middle. - Yeah.
- Like that? - Yeah.
Okay.
Oh!
You're good.
Can I show you a better form so you don't throw your back out?
The solar I use cause it gives us some power
to charge batteries and whatnot.
I guess the good news is
we're never going to run out of firewood.
Such a good swimmer!
Cold water...
I know.
It's freezing!
Yeah.
How old is he?
Five.
You must have had him when you were pretty young.
Yeah, I guess. How old's Travis?
We should play "buckets" after this.
You guess who's who!
You gotta close your eyes!
Hey.
Oh, my god!
I'm sorry.
- You scared me. - Sorry.
Oh, that's okay.
What are you doing up?
Just can't sleep.
I always used to come into the kitchen
and eat food if I couldn't sleep.
What about you?
I dunno, I...
I haven't been able to sleep for a while.
Just some bad dreams.
You can sit down if you want.
You don't have to just...
Stand there.
How long has that been going on?
What?
Not being able to sleep?
Hmmm...
Oh, I don't know.
Yeah, I don't know, for a while I guess.
So...
What are we having?
Uhmmm...
I'm having bread pudding.
And a red velvet cupcake.
And a cookies and cream cupcake.
And like 10 different kinds of ice cream.
That sounds so awful.
- You don't like cupcakes? - Nope.
- You don't like bread pudding? - Un-huh.
Bread pudding?
- What's wrong with you? - I know, it's weird...
I don't like cupcakes, cookies, ice cream...
Wow!
At my birthday parties,
my mom used to make me rice krispy cakes,
instead of actual cakes.
I'm sorry, that's really sad!
I do like some kinds of pie...
- Oh, well, that's good. - Yeah.
Well, great, I'll keep my...
Disgusting bread pudding and cupcakes and ice cream
to myself over here.
Keep it over there, please.
Thank you.
How old are you, Travis?
Uhmm...
Seventeen.
Wow...
I wasn't that much older than you when I first met will.
I should just probably go to bed.
Okay.
- Good night, Kim. - Good night.
- I'll see you in the morning. - Yeah.
Yes, I'll see you then.
Cool.
Whew...
All right.
Here.
I'll take this pile down. That's cool, huh?
Yeah, sure.
- Thanks, will. - No problem.
Good people, huh?
Yes...
I like them here.
Just keep it in perspective, okay?
I don't need to tell you but...
You can't trust anyone but family.
As good as they seem.
Just don't forget that, okay?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Will...
It's okay. Just go inside.
- You got your gun? - Yeah.
What's he see?
Go inside and I'll take care of Stanley.
- Hey, stop. - What's he see?
I said go inside!
Stanley...
Hey, settle down!
Travis!
Stanley!
Travis!
Stanley!
- Travis! - Right here!
What is it?
Stanley's barking just stopped, and I heard something up there!
What?
What are you doing?
What the hell are you thinking?
- His barking just stopped! - I don't give a shit!
You don't go out in the woods on your own!
I'm not losing you over your grandpa's dog!
Travis said that he heard something.
Where?
Where!
- There. - You see anything, will?
Nothing.
All right...
Let's get back in the house, come on, now!
- What about Stanley? - He knows the woods!
He'll find his way home, hustle!
Now!
Come on, will.
Don't you ever fuckin' do that again.
Yeah?
Hey, buddy...
Mmm...
Listen, I wouldn't worry, okay?
I think Stanley's definitely gonna come home.
I was thinking, in the meantime...
Maybe, you and I could go looking at first light.
So get some rest.
- Thanks, dad. - Sure thing.
Night, champ.
Hey, close the door.
This was bud's room.
I'll take a seat.
- Over here? - Yeah.
- There's a light. - Yeah.
- You got it? - Got it.
Hey...
I want to thank you again, Paul, for letting us stay here.
It's really some house you got.
Yeah...
Well, thank you...
For the chickens.
Oh, shit...
No, Paul, you don't gotta open that now.
Why? You don't?
- I do. - Well...
Bud's stash.
Ah-hah.
It's like gold.
Oh, wow, thank you.
- Salud. - Salud.
Oh, fuck...
That's smooth.
So what did you do, will...
Before all this shit?
What? For work?
Little bit of everything really, construction, demolition and...
Then I was a mechanic for a little bit.
What about you?
I...
Was a teacher...
- Oh, yeah? - History.
Get outta here.
Yeah, you want to know all about the Roman empire?
- I'm your guy. - Yeah, right.
Did you grow up in the city?
No, I...
I went there for Kim.
I chased her there.
Big family?
No, it was just me and my dad...
My dad was a mechanic, and then I was an only child.
- You're an only child? - Yeah.
I thought...
Didn't you say that ya'll were living with your brother?
Yeah, I mean, it's technically her brother,
but he felt like my brother, my brother-in-law, you know?
Un-huh...
I think...
I'm gonna...
Hit the hay.
Andrew?
Andrew...
Andrew, wake up, buddy. Come on, wake up.
Wake up.
- Where am I? - Just in another room, buddy.
It's okay, come on, let's get you back to bed.
Okay?
Come on.
Take my hand.
All right?
You're okay.
C'mon, go to bed.
Dad?
Someone's in the house! Someone's in the house!
- Where? - Downstairs!
- Where's your mask and gloves? - In my room.
Go get 'em now! Hurry!
Oh, fuck...
Oh, shit!
Stay back.
Oh...
I don't see anything.
What's going on?
- You wait here? - Yeah, okay.
Let's go talk in the living room.
What's going on?
Just wait.
It's Stanley, and he's sick.
What?
Honey...
Take Travis and get Andrew and Kim...
Wait in the living room, I'm gonna...
Will and I are gonna handle it.
I wanna see him.
Well, you can't.
How do you even know he's sick? I wanna see him.
No, just stop.
- This is bullshit! - Hey! Hey!
Bullshit!
Do you want me to be the bad guy?
I will be the bad guy!
You're not going in the room, all right?
He is fuckin' sick! Now go to the living room!
Honey, go, take him to the living room.
I am very sorry, Travis.
Go, please, please.
Now.
I think...
Will and I should be the only ones
who go outside for a while.
We don't know what made Stanley sick, it coulda been
an animal, another person, anything.
Travis...
You didn't go inside the room before we got there, correct?
Positive.
You just opened the door, you didn't go in?
I didn't touch the door.
What?
It was already open.
The door was open when you got there?
Yeah.
- Then who opened the door? - Yeah.
I don't know, I mean...
- Maybe Andrew? - What?
Andrew was asleep in our room.
No, he wasn't, he was in grandpa's...
What are you talking about?
I put him in there before you both woke up.
Travis, why are we only hearing about this now?
I don't know.
- When was I supposed to...? - Back up.
Tell us everything that happened.
Andrew was in grandpa's room.
He was having a nightmare, so I woke him up,
and I brought him to your room.
Then I went to the back hallway,
saw the door open,
heard something, and then I woke everyone up.
Andrew was in the other room?
Yes.
Is that true, baby?
I can't remember.
Did you see Stanley last night?
- I can't remember... - Andrew...
Think real hard and tell mommy what you remember.
I can't remember.
How can you not remember?
- Does he sleepwalk? - No, he doesn't sleepwalk.
This doesn't make any sense,
cause Andrew is barely tall enough to reach those locks.
You're positive that the door was already open?
Yes!
How can you be positive? It was the middle of the night.
You coulda been half-asleep.
- He said he was sure. - I was wide awake.
I'm positive.
Look, I'm not saying you're lying, Travis.
It was the middle of the night,
maybe you're not remembering correctly...
I know what I saw.
I'm sorry, but the door was open before I got there.
I'm not gonna jump to any conclusions, but...
Just to be safe, I think that...
We all shouldn't interact for a day or so.
Dad, I'm sure it's fine.
I'm just taking proper precautions, okay?
How's that sound? Does it sound fair to everybody?
Yeah.
All right, will, Kim, get enough food and water...
Take Andrew and go...
Go to your room and stay there for a while, okay?
Now.
Okay.
I'm really sorry, but I just think that
we can't take any risks right now.
Sarah, Travis, we're gonna do the same.
- I'll get everything that we... - I just think that...
- Just please... - We should probably...
- Let's go. - Yeah.
I think it's better if we stay apart for a couple of days.
Okay...
I'm sure everything's gonna be fine.
Travis...
Come here.
I just want you to look me in the eye
and tell me that you're...
Telling the truth.
You didn't touch the door?
No.
Okay, did you touch him?
Andrew? Did you touch him?
Yeah, I mean...
Yeah.
I held his hand and I...
And I brought him to his room.
And you weren't wearing gloves and mask, right?
I mean, dad...
Why would I wear them inside the house, you know?
Okay, we're...
We're all going to wash up,
and then we're not leaving this room.
Okay.
It's okay.
Buddy, you gotta try to be quiet.
Look at me, just stay quiet.
- We need to leave. - - I know.
I know.
They're going to hear him.
I know.
Mom...
What's going on?
It's Andrew.
- I think he might be sick. - What?
What are you talking about?
He was crying and i was listening in the attic.
- They said they need to leave. - What?
Andrew was crying and Kim said they needed to leave.
Do you hear anything?
Yeah...
How are you feeling?
What?
Are you feeling okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
What do you want to do?
We don't have many options.
What does that mean?
If they want to leave,
they're gonna want to take our food and water.
No, why can't we give them what's fair,
and take them back to the house they were at.
Where do you think they're going if they run out?
You haven't seen people when they get desperate.
They wouldn't come back here and put us at risk like that.
We don't know that.
- Come on! - We don't know these people.
We don't know if any of what they said is even true.
This is the man that tried to break into our house.
Cause he was trying to get food and water for his family.
Dad would've done the same thing.
I don't think we could take the chance.
I don't think we can risk it.
You don't get it.
If they're sick...
Then I am too.
No, we don't know that, okay? No, we don't know that.
We'll be right back.
I want you to stay here though.
You wait here until we get back, okay?
Okay?
I love you.
- Mommy, my mommy! - - Mommy's here.
It's okay.
Hello?
Yeah?
Is everything okay?
Yeah, Andrew just had a nightmare, that's all.
I'm sorry to wake you.
Mind if I come in and check on him?
It's not a good time right now, Paul.
You said it yourself,
we shouldn't see each other right now.
I just want to make sure that Andrew's okay.
I know, it's just everything that's been going on.
It's been a lot.
Yeah, I understand,
but I'd feel a whole lot better if I could just come in,
and take a look at him, that's all.
Do you think I could do that?
Will?
C'mon, will, just...
Be reasonable, man, this is my house...
I invited you here.
Will, open the fuckin' door, man, c'mon!
Open the door!
Okay, all right...
All right.
I'm sorry...
Where's Travis and Sarah?
They're not...
No, take your hand off the gun!
Take your hand off of it right now!
- Take your hand off the gun. - Okay.
Come in.
And shut the door.
- And go to the corner. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
All the way to the corner, Paul, all the way.
All the way.
Where did you get that gun?
Why's your mask on?
Nobody's sick here, take it off!
Take it off!
Take the fuckin' mask off!
Andrew, keep your eyes closed for me, buddy.
Okay.
Listen, Paul, I'm sorry, okay?
We appreciate everything that you've done,
but we want to leave.
We're all packed up.
I know how you are.
But if you go near my wife or my kid,
I'll end your fuckin' life.
Listen...
We just want what's fair.
We want enough food and enough water,
then we're gonna go,
and you're never gonna see us again.
Do you understand?
Yeah.
All right, baby, c'mon.
Keep your eyes closed for me, buddy.
It's okay.
Will, if he's sick...
Shh, quiet.
Quiet!
Okay, all right...
Stay there.
All right, c'mon...
Just move slowly.
- All right - walk...Don't!
Turn around.
Go!
Go to the stairs.
Okay, baby, be careful...
Hands up. Just walk down.
- Yeah - all right?
Okay.
Give the gun to Paul.
Sarah?
We just wanna leave.
- Give the gun to Paul. - I'm sorry, I can't do that.
- Will, what's going on? - It's okay, baby.
Don't do this.
Look, Sarah, we can work this out,
if we both lower our guns.
We just want to leave.
And we want what's fair, enough for the both of us.
And you'll never see us again.
All right?
- Okay. - Okay.
How about this?
I'm gonna count to three...
And we both lower our guns, good?
Yeah.
Okay...
Will?
One...
Two...
Three...
Are we good, Sarah?
I just wanna talk...
Paul!
Wait!
Kim, run!
Don't move!
- Where's Kim? - I don't know!
- Where'd she go? - I don't know!
See what you did?
Huh?
You see what you did?
See what you made me do?
Stop! Don't! Please stop!
Just get in the corner!
Move! Move!
Sit down!
Please just let us go!
I promise if you let us go, you'll never see us...
Stay still!
Just don't move!
All right...
