This one.
It's ready.
NARRATOR: On the 19th of October, 2022,
the world changed...
forever.
No one knew who had launched first.
No one knew why they fell on remote areas, Ohio, and not New York,
Calais, and not Paris,
Yorkshire, and not London.
No one realized the bio-power plants were being targeted.
All the beauty of the Northern hemisphere...
gone.
Radiation from the nuclear fallout
spawned a bacteria that spread south,
killing everything.
Thus war came and went in the south
and society broke down.
The spurt of humanity struggled to rise...
again.

Yeah, I'll get you some help.
(COUGHING)
Says we're here...
and they're here.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
Now, I understand why you're going.
You wanna take control of your life,
you wanna take control of your situation.
What I don't understand is why you're not doing that right now, right here.
Why don't you breathe?
Breathe...
(BREATHES DEEPLY)
Good.
Control.
Reach around and grab my ankle.
I know this is a difficult time for you, Jake...

...but you're not finished yet.
(GROANS)
Master Crane.
I need to be with her, you know.
Been away from Molly far too long.
(GRUNTS)
You got the next one?
You're with us in spirit...
Despite of my feelings, Jake...
(GROANS)
I'm proud of you.
(GROANS)
You're free to choose, you know.
You just have to submit.
There's no choice.
Thank you.
(COOING)
Hey, little Bug.
Time for Mommy to help change those diapers, isn't it?
Look at you, holding a baby.
Daddy's had enough of that goofy smile.
When you first came in here, you couldn't hold a glass of water
without getting it all over you, you remember?
The other kid, she's gonna be...
That is gonna be one special kid.
Her parents are two of the most stubborn people I've ever met.
Thank God her mom is brilliant.
That's why I need to get my two girls back together.
She's been away from her mother for far too long. Haven't you?
Little Bug.
Come on. Let's put you down.

What is this place?
DOCTOR: Well...
it's home...
to many.
Who are you?
I'm Dr. Harris.
My daughter...
she's sick.
How long has she been like this?
How old is she?
Since the flash.
She's eight.
And you are?
Jake.
My name is Jake.
Is this a hospital?
Of sorts.
I must say, Jake, you're a lucky man.
We can help her.
And you.
We're rebuilding here.
Getting people a home,
security,
sense of purpose.
The transport is minimal. Only what we could salvage.
Do you have electricity?
DR. HARRIS: It's battery, mostly.
We've had to rebuild since the AMP,
but yes, we have what we need.
JAKE: The lightning? The flash?
It was an electromagnetic pulse.
That's right.
It came from that tower.
Clearly, by the mask, you're aware of the bacteria.
I was following the signal from the south.
Said there was a cure.
Also from our tower.
Population was decimated by the bacteria.
We were able to save these people.
The EMP delivered software directly into the brain of the survivors.
Mr. Jake,
it's all electricity.
Sit down. Make yourselves comfortable.
Okay.
Now keep your head still,
and look at this.
Unfortunately,
after the pulse, there were unintended consequences.
(GROANING)
Molly.
How often does this happen?
Every couple of days.
I need another nurse here.
We need to take her inside.
No. No, she's not going anywhere.
We have, uh, more facilities. No.
Jake, it's been two years since the pulse.
How long have you been out there scavenging, and on your own?
You found doctors.
We can help you both.
We need to take her inside.
I go where she goes. Okay.
No exceptions. Okay.
Let's attend to you first.
Please.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Anesthetic for the pain.
We're just gonna clean you up, okay?
DR. HARRIS: He is in a remarkably good shape
for someone who has been like this for two years.
(JAKE STAMMERS) She hasn't changed.
We're gonna need the life support.

(ELECTRIC BUZZING) (GROANING)
Okay...
Okay.
Wait. You need to come with me.
Yeah. To the Resistance Camp.
Yeah, you'll be safe.
It's what they said.
No, you're right, of course. You're not safe.
Because they've seen you, you'll never be safe.
But you gotta believe me, my people can help.
They spend their days working on ways to circumvent the virus.
The virus? Yeah, the virus.
The reins. The control.
The bacteria.
You're kidding. No. Not the bacteria, the virus.
You have no idea.
(DOGS BARKING)
They will never stop hunting you. Hunting her.
You can't outrun them carrying her.
Please, come with me.
I promise you'll be safe.
Come on, let's go.
(MAN GROANING)
See, they call me MadCap... I don't care.
Right.
MADCAP: The virus is like nothing you've...
JAKE: Is that what that crazy woman was trying to warn me about before she died?
She died?
Yeah.
She a friend of yours?
(EXHALES)
Yeah. A friend to many.
Her name was Brooke.
Hey... I just need to check her eyes.
Yeah.
It's the virus.
The same virus that killed your friend?
Molly's got it?
Yeah, everyone's got it.
Weird thing is you don't.
The virus is a software.
It was transmitted from the tower.
The flash.
They said that was the immunization.
Yeah, well, yeah. The EMP did, in fact,
carry an immunization to the bacteria,
but it was just a cover.
A virus was what they wanted to deliver.
It lives inside the brain and makes us do whatever they want.
That's impossible.
Is it?
You've already seen it when you arrived.
See, the brain is electrical like a computer.
Uh, when the nukes wiped out the top half of the world,
and the bacteria migrated south,
society just tore itself apart,
the order steeped in to control the chaos.
Is that not a good thing?
No, not the way they did it.
(STAMMERING) See, as far as we can tell, they immunized us
by making our brains, uh...
stimulate an over-production of ATP, which is a tendency to...
I know what ATP is. ATP...
It seems to counteract the bacteria.
I mean, that's ingenious, really.
But they also delivered software right into our brain.
But no one controls me.
Yeah.
That's why you and your daughter are so valuable.
Somehow you're immune.
What about Molly?
You're strange enough. You don't have the virus.
But little Clare, she... Molly.
Yeah, right.
But right now, we need your help.
You said you could help us.
(STAMMERS) And I can. I... The tower transmits a control signal.
Also, that's how they control the population.
Also, it has to be destroyed.
Also...
Also?
Also, you're the only one who can destroy it.
They don't control you.
We gotta keep moving.
Hey, what do you mean I'm the only one who can destroy it?
Well, see this, this gives me a moment.
Not long enough to willingly destroy the tower.
It has to be you.
Get your hands off me.
It's this way.
(INTENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
WOMAN: Okay, try it again.
(ELECTRONIC BEEPING)
Now punch in the other one.
(KEYS CLACKING)
Yeah, that's it.
All right. How does that feel, Max?
You have a call from the General, ma'am.
MADCAP: Okay, we're here.
I thought you were taking me to your camp.
Yeah, I am.
The Resistance Camp.
I just need to grab something from here first.
It's my secret lair. (CHUCKLES)
If this is a trap, I will kill you.
Hey, I don't doubt it.
(COMICAL MUSIC PLAYING)
You're still alive.
JAKE: Okay.
Here we are.
Great, huh?
I love these shapes.
You like limestone? Temple Limestone.
I love limestone.
Okay.
(EXHALES)
Just let me...
Just keep this away.
You can just put her down here.
Just be a minute.
You hear that, Bug?
We're gonna get you some help.
I'm never gonna let you out of my sight again.
MADCAP: Over the last year,
we've been able to plant a series of bombs on the transmission tower.
Unfortunately, the last guy got caught
and fortunately, he's found his way out.
So, yeah. They still don't know why he was there.
He, uh...
He resisted...
right till the end.
Uh...
Just gotta find...
a detonator.
Okay, here we are.
I built this to detonate remotely,
but the virus stops me getting close enough to use it.
But...
you, I mean,
you could do it.
Whoa. Careful with that.
Careful. Careful. What is this?
This...
This is the most valuable thing of all.
This is freewill.
(GROANS)
Okay.
You see, everything that happens
comes from something else.
You know, like an asteroid bumps into some space-dust,
and then bumps into some more space-dust,
and eventually forms a planet...
Sounds like it's gonna be a long story.
No, just think about it.
You know, cause and effect, all the way back to the Big Bang.
That's where we're different.
I mean, this world, this pale blue dot.
We're not the product of what came before.
We can choose what comes next.
Good job we've done with that.
There've been some bad choices, I know,
but at least they're ours to make.
I mean, they have to be.
And that's what the Order's taken from us.
They've taken our right to choose.
What, with the virus?
Yeah. I've discovered that we could communicate without being detected
if we think one thing
and then say or do another.
You know, like,
holding a conversation while, um,
I don't know, playing a guitar, you know.
We usually sing nursery rhymes,
but, I mean, to act directly against the order,
I gotta use this.
See, the... the jolt
short-circuits the virus temporarily.
But it's not a long-term solution.
Why?
We're almost out of batteries.
You sure it's a virus?
Yeah.
Could it wake up Molly?
Uh...
Yeah.
Probably. Uh...
Yeah, I mean, someone her size, it, uh...
It might completely destroy the virus.
Yeah. It's worth a shot.
It shouldn't kill her.
Kill her?
Uh, yeah. (CHUCKLES)
Yeah. That's...
Don't wanna kill the last child on earth.
What did you say?
The...
The last...
Wow. You...
You really didn't get the memo, did you?
Um...
The EMP, uh...
it...
It killed all the children.
What?
Yeah. When it went off, uh...
anyone too young to take the...
they just, uh...
All but her.
You see, that's why they won't stop.
Why they won't ever stop.
She's a holy grail, Jake.
That's why you have to help us.
Unintended consequences.
You know, they say they want to build civilization,
but, I mean, isn't the first step having more children?
You know, there have been no newborns since the pulse.
No births in two years.
And people are disappearing, Jake.
I don't know what it is, but they're up to something.
They're up to something.
JAKE: You know, they said that they can help her,
and they tried to drill into her brain.
When you say that you can help,
you're trying to blow up the tower.
I'm being used. That is it.
What? No, no. No. No.
(CLATTERING)
(GAS BOMB DIFFUSES)
There another way out?
You mean like a secret way?

You need to help me find them.
Daughter?
So it's true.
If she's here, they will have taken her to the tunnels under the tower
where they experiment on anyone different.

And I believed you.
Look where we are, Jake.
MAN: The update doesn't interest you, Marion?
You know,
I saw something very compelling
on my monitor just now.
You told me he was dead.
Yeah. I thought he was.
They bombed the hospital,
The rehabilitation wing that he was working in was completely destroyed,
and I looked. Believe me, I looked.
I could not find... You saw me easily enough.
Think about what we have accomplished.
Think about what we've done. With your research.
We have stopped violence. We have stopped violence.
Chaos,
the rape of women,
the senseless slaughter of men, women, children.
We slaughtered the children.
I'm sorry, okay? Don't think a day doesn't go by that I don't regret that.
I will not let that happen again.
Well, there are no more children left to kill, are there?
Look, we can't have an anomaly.
We can't. We can't have some new resistance to the software.
That man is the only reason we have any software.
You have no idea what is coming.
Trust me, you have no... It's all based on his DNA!
We have to go upstairs right now. We have to go upstairs.
We have to broadcast the update right now.
Will you come with me, please?
Will you come with me so we can broadcast the update without resistance?
Please.
(YELLS) Move your ass so we can go upstairs, and start world peace!
Please?
MADCAP: What happened back there?
You just froze. Oh, look, ports.
So you're saying here that you're gonna help me find her.
Yeah, of course, I will.
But we just gotta get to the tunn...
Now! (GROANS)
Look, look.
They're gonna release an update to the virus, like, any minute now.
Okay, which... It allows them to literally see our thoughts, okay,
and if that happens, all hope for the Resistance is lost.
We gotta get to the tower.
I don't care about your Resistance.
I don't care about your Order.
I care about finding Molly and getting the fuck outta here!
(STAMMERS) They tested the update on me. They saw.
They know you're here.
They know about Clare.
Oh my God. They know about Clare.
You know what? I'll do it myself.
No, no, no. Wait, wait, wait!
She may have survived the EMP once,
but this close to the tower?
Look, if we don't stop that pulse,
even if you get to her first...
Jake!
If that update goes out,
she's dead anyway.
Fuck!
(ELECTRIC BUZZ)

perhaps you can find something out from the prisoner.
You're... You're not staying?

(ELECTRICAL STATIC)
(SCREAMING)
(YELLING)
(GRUNTING)
Stop it!
Stop doing that!
(GRUNTING)
Please. Please.
She's the only child to survive. We need to know why.
If there's a glitch in the software...

(MARION SINGING INDISTINCTLY)
MAN: Dr. Conners, there is a call for you.
(HUMMING)
GAVIN: It's me. He's gone.
Who's gone?
The anomaly came and broke the prisoner free.
MARION: Guards! Take your men to the cells.
Do whatever you have to but do not let them get in here.
Go!
Time to change the world.
Is she okay?
JAKE: She's still alive.
MADCAP: Okay. Come on.
Come on.
(ELEVATOR DINGS)
(THUDS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
No, no, you don't underst...
(ALARM BLARING)
(KEYBOARD CLACKING)
I can't stop it.
Sequence is initiated.
Ah! Come on!
There's no override.
What about the bombs?
MADCAP: I destroyed the remote.
Don't worry about them. Just do your jobs!
GUARD: Stop!
I think we can detonate it manually.
Uh...
GUARD: Freeze!
JAKE: Detonate it manually?
Yeah. Yeah. From the transmitter.
Let the guards do their jobs. You do yours!
But it's on the roof. We can't get to there from here.
(GRUNTS IN FRUSTRATION)
(ALARMS BLARING)
Through there.
I'm not sure I can fit.
Not you.
MAN: Station 143, quickly. Paulson down.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
You had that the whole time?
It's Clare's, right? I think it's fine.
Okay, we're only gonna get one shot at this.
But it's gonna be the full charge.
This much power...
could kill her.
90 seconds, and she's dead anyway, right?
MADCAP: Come on, Jake. Come on.
I love you so much, Bug.
More than anything.
(SCREAMING)
(PANTING)
(ALARM BLARING)
Come on, baby.
Come on, Bug.
Be back.
(JAKE SOBBING)
You're getting sad all over me.
Did you catch me?
JAKE: Oh, God.
MOLLY: Where is the pirate?
Where are we?
(CLEARS THROAT)
Look here, okay? Something's happened, okay?
You listen to me really carefully.
Okay.
This is...
This is MadCap.
Hi.
He's gonna tell you what to do.
It's really important that we do it really quickly, okay?
Okay.
(RUMBLING)
You gotta try to find the little red box on the wall
Okay.
Remember when you unlocked that roller door for me?
Duh.
(GRUNTS)
You know, a fully-grown man can fit through a hole the size of a golf ball.
That's... uh. Yeah, just through the hole ahead that way,
and, uh, and you'll see a small flashing blue light.
MOLLY: I see it.
Okay. Now, turn the key from "Remote" to "Local," okay?
And press the button.
MOLLY: I can't really read.
MADCAP: Okay. Just turn the key and press the button.
MOLLY: It's stuck!
It's just tight!
(SOFTLY) It is just tight.
Jake?
Marion?
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(RUMBLING)
(ELECTRIC BUZZING)
MARION: Oh, God, no.
What have you done?
Hey, wait, wait, wait. You know her?
Great job, Bug.
(MADCAP CHUCKLES)
(RUMBLING)
(GLASS SHATTERING)
Okay, we gotta get out of here.
This whole tower's gonna crumble.
Marion, is there another way out?
Like a secret way?
Marion.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES)
(YELLS IN FRUSTRATION)
The power's out. The elevator won't work.
(JAKE EXERTING)
Come on, you gonna give me a hand or what?
(GRUNTING)
Molly, you see through there?
There's strings.
We gotta go.
Climb out through the cage...
Molly, get back here!
(RUMBLING)
Now. You.
Huh.
No, no, no, no. I can't crawl in there.
Climb out.
Go, now!
MADCAP: Oh, no, no, no. You gotta be kidding me.
Get on your back, okay?
Just lie down till the cage moves.
You gotta hurry.
(GRUNTS)
(MADCAP YELLS)
Jesus.
Ah, I can't!
JAKE: You go, man. You gotta go, now!
Tell me to move.
Just tell me what to do.
Put your legs over the rails.
We can't stay here. We gotta go.
(GROANING)
Molly, can you get me the...
(GRUNTS) Okay.
Hold tight, okay?
(GROANING)
(ELEVATOR CLANGING)
(MOLLY SCREAMS)
The tower's falling.
If we can get down from that mountain right now.
I need to reach that cable.
I need you to wriggle round on to my back, okay?
MOLLY: I don't wanna.
JAKE: Be brave for me.
Come on.
Grab me around my neck. Grab my neck, I got you.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES PLAYING)
(GRUNTS) Come on. You can do it.
Not that side.
Let's get up there. Ready?
Hold on.
(EXPLOSIONS)
JAKE: Just slide down. Come on, keep going.
(RAGGED BREATHING)
(ROPE SNAPS)
(MOLLY SCREAMING)
(CRASHING)
Bug?
You okay?
I hurt my knee.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
You!
Up against the wall.
My foot's caught.
I can't!
Jake.
Tell him to put the gun down.
Just tell him to put the gun down. He'll listen to you.
(GROANS)
Tell The General I got the anomaly and the girl.
They were with Dr. Conners.
Jake, tell him.
Wait.
Please.
No, no! Like you mean it.
Like a demand.
Put it down now!
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and tell him to put his hands up in the air.
Put your arms up in the air.
(ELECTRIC BUZZ) (GROANING IN PAIN)
I don't understand.
How... You shouldn't be able to strike the security team.
Electricity shorts the virus and it can't read my mind.
(SCOFFS) Didn't see that one coming, did you?
Get out of the way, kid.
No!
(GROANS)
JAKE: It's okay. It's okay, Molly.
You can let him live, okay?
Okay, I'm just gonna free his legs.
Your daddy and I are friends.
JAKE: I wouldn't go all that far.
MadCap, no!
She's the one who made the virus.
She's the one, Jake.
She tortured me,
she gave me the update.
She's gotta die.
She gave me the update.
She's my wife.
Hi, baby.
You're so beautiful.
I thought that you...
(SOBS) When the hospital was hit, I...
He told me you were killed.
And when the pulse went off...
Dad said you were tall.
Did he now?
(SENTIMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
(LOUD BANG) (ALARM BLARING)
MADCAP: Okay, we gotta go.
We gotta go.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(WHOOSHING)
Come on. Come on.
(RUMBLING)
Over here.
Okay, you guys go first. Go, go, go. Go, go.
(GRUNTS)
(ELECTRIC WHOOSH)
(COUGHING)
Come on, hurry up. Let's go.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
There could be guards.
Yeah, there's guards.
I'm not gonna stand here and get shot at, okay?
So you cover us, we're going.
Okay. Okay. Go, go, go!
(GRUNTS)
Just a second.
(DOOR BURST OPEN) (MOLLY SCREAMS)
(GROWLING)
JAKE: In here.
(GROWLING)
MADCAP: Lock the door.
Okay, we go left, get back to the camp.
JAKE: Which one? MADCAP: Uh...
Just up here, right where the drains go through.
What did you say?
Uh, we go left to get back to the camp.
No, no, no, no. After that.
Uh, right where the drains go through.
JAKE: Right where the drains go through.
(WHOOSHING)
What's in here?
I don't know. Secrets.
Maybe you should ask your wife.
We've been trying to get in but can't complete the code. So...
JAKE: 312...
MADCAP: What?
There's something Clare said.
MADCAP: Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Clare?
She said "312, right where the drains go through."
3... 3...
She meant "turn," right?
I don't know. She kept repeating.
"312, right where the drains go through."
312...
Come on, 312...
(BEEPING)
MADCAP: 312...
(RAPID BEEPING)
(DOOR UNLOCKS)
Oh, my God.
Did you know about this?
MADCAP: Of course she did.
I knew they're up to something.
Jake, I swear we were only told what we needed to know.
JAKE: These weapons are like nothing I've ever seen before.
Uh, well, actually...
Are these upgrades for the guards?
MADCAP: That's too many for... Too many for just guards.
Enough for an army. For everyone, so we can fight their war.
War? Fighting against who?
MADCAP: I don't know. Does it matter?
I don't know. Maybe they wanna retake cities of the north.
Maybe other camps.
You know, this is what this whole camp was designed for.
No, we were trying to help.
Oh, yeah, to help? What, build armies?
Send people to their deaths?
JAKE: That's why there's no newborns.
'Cause it'd be a liability.
These don't work anyway.
Molly, come here.
If he's planning to go to war...
(LEVER SWITCHING)
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
JAKE: Molly, get away from him.
Come here.
What's wrong with them?
They're looped.
MADCAP: Wait, wait. What do you mean "looped"?
They're stuck searching for a signal. Without a carrier signal,
they're paralyzed.
They're paralyzed? They can still breathe.
Their tongue's functions are fine.
You see what she did? You see what this virus is?
She's paralyzed an entire population.
You did this.
Actually, you did this.
When you blew up the tower, you did this.
You were about to release an update
that was gonna steal everyone's thoughts.
I was about to release a cure.
JAKE: What about the guards?
Well, staff like me are on a different version.
It's self-contained with no violence inhibitor, but...
it's permanent.
And the update,
is that permanent?
That's why I had to act now.
The virus wouldn't have worked after the update.
But how could you even create something
that's just gonna rob people of their own free will?
I did it for her.
Her dad was dead and
if I could stop the violence and keep her safe...
But, then, the pulse happened.
Killed all the children.
MARION: All but her.
She shares her DNA.
It saved her life.
We gotta go.
Like... like, now.
(MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
(GRUNTS)
(GASPS)
No, no, no, no, no, no.
I'm sorry.
I couldn't help it.
I thought about the Resistance Camp,
and whether they're frozen like this too.
We...
we've kept this secret for years.
I've just shown them the way.
We'll be slaughtered, Jake.
Then we better get there first.
(TENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
Hey.
She's nice.
(WHOOPING)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
Stay down. (GUN FIRES)
MARION: We need to find cover.
Right there, right there.
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(GUN FIRES)
Hope we need that weapon.
Hold on.
I'm holding steady.
MARION: I'm a better shot than you, remember?
(GUN FIRES)
(MUSIC PLAYING)
(GUN FIRES)
(MAN SCREAMS)
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)
(GUN MISFIRES)
I don't suppose you packed any extra ammo.
Hold on.
(GRUNTS)
Good thing you stole the fastest car.
Uh, looks like they got one, too.
No, no, they only got...
Oh, no. What?
Oh, you gotta be playing with my balls.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
(GUN FIRES)
He's headed towards the mountains.
Right there. He's going towards the tunnels. Follow him.
(ENGINES RACING)
Up here.
Hurry. Hurry.
MADCAP: Got the camps just through here. It won't take long.
Just over the next hill. Ten minutes tops.
Ow. (GRUNTS)
See, most people think that diamonds come from coal. They don't...
JAKE: Do you ever shut up?
Hey, you said "About 15 minutes" about an hour ago.
MADCAP: Yep, not far.
See, the pulse killed everything, except the flies.
Get the... Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait up.
I swear I just saw a snake.
MADCAP: Well, that's perfect then.
Come on.
Well, here it is.
MARION: I can't see anything.
If you could see it, your friends would have already wiped it out.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Are you crazy?
Well, I'm not.
JAKE: You're out of your mind.
Maybe.
MADCAP: There's a tunnel that leads you out from the bottom to the hole
into a series of trenches that we carved.
And that will take us around the camp.
The passageway is mostly crammed.
(CHUCKLES) Funny word "crammed". It comes from the Latin word...
So, uh, the kid. Is she...
It's mostly quartz, feldspar...
(CONTINUES SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)
It's okay, Jim.
We're gonna get you out of this.
Don't they starve?
How do we unfreeze them?
(THRILLING MUSIC PLAYING)
MADCAP: Clare.
Madison?
MADCAP: They're, uh,
they're with me.
Wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Clare. Clare.
Clare, it's okay now. I'm here.
(SNIFFLES) I... I'm sorry, I...
I tried resisting as long as I could, but...
I know. I hope they're better.
It's done something to my head.
I can't see out my left eye.
Resisting can cause hemorrhaging.
Why is she here?
Uh, it's a long story.
Um.
Can you walk?
Easier with my zapper.
Uh, yeah, I know.
Um, it's gone.
We...
We had to kill the virus to wake up the girl.
So...
So, there is hope.
Yeah.
(GUN FIRING) (BULLETS RICOCHET)
(MOLLY SCREAMS)
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
You got any weapons here?
We need to leave.
And go where?
This is the only place with food supplies.
Look, there are a couple of guns in the armory.
But not very many.
(BULLETS RICOCHET) (MADCAP GROANS)
They've beat us here. They're slaughtering.
Armory.
MADCAP: Just up there.
(DOOR OPENS)
(MOLLY SCREAMING)
Molly.
JAKE: Molly!
(GUNSHOT)
(ZAPS)
No! No! No!
(SOBS) No.
(SOMBER MUSIC PLAYING)
It's all right.
(COUGHS) Shh. It's all right.
It's okay.
(CLARE GASPS)
Dad.
I... I saved her.
Yeah, you did.
Yeah.
(CRIES OUT)
No.
(CRIES)
(CRANE YELLS) Enough.
MADCAP: No!
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
No. No!
No.
You! You killed her!
That's enough.
Master Crane?
MADCAP: You killed her.
(GROANS) (BUZZING)
(PANTS)
I'm sorry.
My guards acted in self defense. I am truly sorry.
Your loss is regrettable.
Good to see you, Jake.
I don't understand, Master Crane. I...
I thought you were...
I thought you were dead, too.
But, fortunately, we were both wrong, huh?
How could you be part of this?
Slaughtering all these people?
Slaughtering? No.
We didn't... There's no slaughter. We saved these people.
You tried to kill me.
(STAMMERS) Wait.
You tried to kill Molly.
You know him, too?
No one tried to kill Molly.
When I heard that there was a man who could not be governed,
carrying a living child, I thought...
I had to know. I had to know if there were any other like you.
Others who were not responding to the software.
For the sake of humanity, Jake.
What's humanity?
You stole our humanity! Would you please?
They said that you promised peace.
Rebuilding society, immunization...
And did we not deliver upon that? Did we not stop
the slaughter of the weak?
Did we not make the world a safer place?
MARION: No, you did not.
We did not.
I thought we were doing something noble.
You speak of peace and prepare for war.
You're manufacturing weapons?
You're so noble.
Dragging these people to their death.
Fuck your war.
My war?
This is every bit as much your war as it is mine.
This is mankind's war.
Let me show you something.
Bring it in.
(DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING)
CRANE: This, my friends, is what is coming.
This is what Mr. Capper refers to as "my war."
MADCAP: So, that creature did all this?
What is that?
It is something else.
This is what bacteria and radiation did to the survivors in the north.
Radiation didn't find its way this far south, bacteria did.
Bacteria alone killed people. They were the lucky ones.
Combined with radiation, you get this.
There is a hoard of these about a week away from here.
This is one of the many scouts they have been sending.
And you are damn right I am manufacturing weapons.
If this was the whole point,
why not tell everyone?
'Cause they would run.
Yeah, some would fight, sure, but...
unless we override fear, override mass hysteria,
we are gonna be as dead as our friend.
(ROARING)
They are formidable.
And they are hard to kill.
But you can't make people fight these things.
Yeah, but they would fight.
I mean, if they had the choice.
Would you fight?
Mr. Capper.
You're damn right I would.
(GRUNTS)
And if you chose to fight...
if you all chose to fight,
how long would you last?
You farmers.
You teachers. You florists. You are not soldiers.
The update
does more than let me read your minds.
It... well, observe.
(SCREAMS)
(GROANS)
What the hell are you doing?
(GRUNTS)
CRANE: Your ideas,
they're flawed, Jake.
I'm sorry, man. It's not me, it's the...
Oh, whoa, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Free will hesitates.
(GRUNTS)
Free will has regrets. It makes mistakes.
Free will falters.
It grows weary. It becomes weak.
Free will lacks conviction.
You must understand this, Jake. This is your most important lesson.
I'm sorry, man.
(BOTH GRUNTING)
Even if they have the will, they do not have the skill.
Are you okay?
JAKE: Am I okay?
Even if they wanna fight, they don't have the...
ROBOT: Might.
The ability.
I can't stop, Jake.
All right.
Let me help you with that.
(GRUNTS)
The update gives them that ability.
(GRUNTS)
Nod if you follow me.
Correction,
don't fucking move if you follow me.
Thanks to your little stunt,
you gave me an army of mannequins.
I thought it would free them.
Never fear, Mr. Capper,
there is still a way.
You know there is.
MARION: How? The tower's gone.
What are you doing?
CRANE: Marion Conners,
you have betrayed the order.
(CLICKS)
You know the penalty.
Jake.
Ready? Hey, what are you doing?
Baby, I will always love you.
Aim.
(GUNS COCKING)
Thank you.
Jake.
And fire. (JAKE YELLS) No!
(JAKE EXHALES)
(CHUCKLES) I am so sorry, buddy. I had to be sure.
That you could kill my family?
No, that you could stop me,
and, man, but go ahead, you tell 'em. You're the one who discovered.
I just... saw it on a little scream.
What?
(BUZZING)
Okay, okay, okay.
Okay. Okay.
Jake has the virus.
But you told me that I was immune.
Yeah, but I was wrong.
You weren't controlled.
In the cave I felt it.
You told me to keep Molly safe,
and I had no choice.
When that animal was gonna cut me in half,
I... see, that's why they listened to you.
Jake, you have the virus.
But unlike the rest of us,
you can broadcast.
CRANE: And there we have it.
You are the tower, Jake.
You were able to broadcast the update. And you alone
can save us.
JAKE: Oh, so this is a test?
You wanna fucking test me?
Let 'em go.
Step forward.
Kick each other in the nuts.
Run!
Run until your lights give away.
MARION: Jake,
you're no virus. You can free them.
This, Marion,
after all the work we've done together?
No! (GLASS BREAKING)
That was the last strand of uninfected DNA.
This device
will amplify your reach to that of the tower.
Careful, it will sting.
(GROANS)
(BUZZES)
Well, come on, you see these people, Jake. They're trapped.
You gotta free 'em. There's no choice here. Come on.
You taught me the value of control, Crane.
I understand the need.
The update can save these people.
You say free will lacks conviction.
It falters.
It has regrets.
Grows weary and tired.
What I've learned from these people
is my greatest lesson.
'Cause no matter what,
you always have a choice.
(ELECTRICAL BUZZING) (MADCAP GROANING)
JAKE: You're wrong, Marion.
(CRANE GRUNTS)
There is still uninfected DNA.
Trust me, Bug. Come.
No!
(BUZZING) Ow!
(MOLLY SCREAMING)
(PEOPLE CHEERING)
(WHOOPING AND WHISTLING)
JAKE: The other hoard is coming,
and we stand and face them together.
Many fled.
Many more chose to stay and fight.
(GROWLING)
There are other camps further south.
But we are their last line of defense.
And we choose to fight.
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING)
