[pills rattling]

[man 1] All right.

They're cool.

Business is growing.

Twenty-nine.

One's missing.

Count again.

[knocking] Hey, Mom! Hey!

[girl giggling]

Oh, Sweet Pea.

Oh. Hey.

-I brought you this. -[girl] Awesome, Mom. Thank you so much.

-[woman 1] Yeah, of course. -Sleeping in the car.

Resting.

Worked the night shift.

I should have something for you by the end of the week.

[footsteps approaching]

Noah?

-You're going with your mother. -[sighing]

-Technically, I don't have to, Grandma. -Noah.

Hi, honey.

Hey, Mom.

[woman 2] I have a church meeting tonight. Can you keep 'em until 7:00?

Maybe they could stay the night?

Just have them back by 7:00.

-[woman 2] You're welcome to join us. -I'll think about it.

[hip hop playing on car stereo]

So, how was school this week?

-Did you know birds come from dinosaurs? -[woman 1] I did.

How about you, Noah?

-How about what? -How was school?

Fine.

What are you looking for?

[sighing] Nothing.

-Why are we even doing this? -[woman 1] I'm tired, Noah. Okay?

I just worked the night shift,

and I'm doing everything I can to get you guys back. All right? So...

[Noah] I don't want you to feel bad, but I don't want to pretend that...

[Noah continues speaking indistinctly]

[crackling]

Oh.

What did you do?

-Nothing, I-- -[tires squealing]

-[Noah] Brake, Mom, brake! -[woman 1] Hold on!

-Mom! -[Noah] Stop!

-[tires squealing] -[Matilda screaming]

-Shit. Baby, are you okay? -Noah gasping]

[panting] Yeah, Mommy, I'm okay.

-[loud crash] -[Matilda screaming]

-[Matilda screaming] -[woman 1 yells indistinctly]

-[Noah grunting] -[Matilda screaming]

-[loud crash] -[water gushing]

[Matilda screaming]

[gasping] Mom, the car's flooding!

-What do we do? -[woman 1] Come to me. Quick!

-Hold on. -[Matilda screaming]

You okay? Are you all right? Take off your seat belt right now.

It's okay, I'm right here. Everything's gonna be okay.

Come towards Mommy. Okay, right now!

Come towards Mommy. Quick! I need you to go faster, baby.

-Come on, it's gonna be okay. Go! -[Matilda] Mom!

-[woman 1] Get out of there. -[Matilda grunting]

-Come on, Noah. Get out! -I can't! My belt's stuck!

-[woman 1] Oh, fuck! -Mom!

[woman 1] Fuck!

[indistinct panicked yelling]

[car creaking]

[tense music playing]

[gasping]

You okay?

-Yeah. Yes. Yeah. -You okay? Matilda!

Matilda!

Matilda!

Come on, Noah!

[coughing]

[woman 1] Oh, God!

Oh, my baby!

[sheriff] She was out for a minute, but she's gonna be fine.

Oh, thank you so much.

-Hey, are you okay? -Yeah.

-[sheriff] She's good. She's good. -Thank you. Thank you.

-[sheriff] I don't know what happened. -Oh. Oh, baby.

Power's out everywhere.

Cars, too.

I don't think we're gonna get an ambulance here,

but the VA Hospital's just four blocks away, and...

you're gonna need stitches.

-What? -[sheriff] Stitches.

[wincing]

[patient crying]

[nurse] I'll be right there. Uh, Exam Room 3.

Hey, excuse me! Excuse--

[sighing]

Hey, excuse me. Um, I need a doctor.

Um, uh, we just got into a car accident

and my daughter was, uh, spitting up water.

You okay?

Yeah, yeah.

[nurse 1] She's fine.

-[woman 1] Wh-- Hey! Hey! -[nurse 1] I need some help here!

[woman 1 sighing]

It's a terrorist attack, for sure.

What?

Terrorists? Able to shut off all the power...

-to cars? -Maybe it was the Chinese, right?

They built all this shit so maybe they just turned it all off.

[man 2] And maybe we're at war.

Maybe they blew up New York and LA, and we're next.

[inhales sharply]

-[patient screaming] -[nurse 2] I gave him ten cc's.

-That should put down a rhino! -[woman 3] Someone!

[woman 3 speaking Greek]

[woman 3, in English] It's a miracle.

Please, someone!

[woman 3, in Greek]

[woman 3, in Greek]

[woman 3 continues speaking Greek]

[woman 3 crying]

[in English] He's awake.

[male nurse] He's up, too.

[Doris] The phones aren't working, the power's out--

What happened?

The car's in the lake.

Always clear out the air.

-Always. -Good girl.

-Hey, Doris, you good on meds? -[Doris] I got plenty.

The store's not taking credit cards.

Do you have cash for food?

The cash was in the car. In the lake.

I-- I can see if I can pick something up on the way home from the university.

I'm in at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow. I just need to get a little sleep.

You're still going to work?

Yeah. They don't have power. They're gonna need security.

You know, there's no point in you walking home.

Why don't you spend the night?

Thanks, Doris.

[clock winding]

[clock ticking]

[inhaling deeply]

[exhaling]

-[people shouting in the distance] -[glass breaking]

[people continue shouting]

[breathing deeply]

[Doris] I don't know how you sleep like that.

I'm not sleeping. Meditating.

[inhaling sharply]

Does it help?

Hmm. Think so.

You know when you wake up in the morning, everything is good for a minute

before the shittiness hits you?

[inhaling]

I get that minute when I meditate.

I tried yoga when my hip started hurting, but...

it didn't work for me.

Do you, uh...

You have a little something to help me sleep?

I don't do that anymore.

You know the judge said that I wasn't allowed.

Well, I guess you really aren't using if you're awake too.

I'm gonna head to work.

I'll stop at the pharmacy and get you something.

[floorboards creaking]

[woman 1] Why don't you get some sleep?

[Noah] I'm not tired.

Look at all the shooting stars.

Those are satellites, Noah.

[people shouting indistinctly]

[indistinct screaming]

[more indistinct screaming]

[indistinct shouting]

[people chattering and laughing indistinctly]

-Hey, hey, hey, I need more stuff. -Relax, okay?

Downers, benzos, phennies, tooies, red jackets, people are crazy right now,

amped up. That shit'll be, like, gold. I'll double the price.

No, fuck, I didn't say that.

Yeah. Yeah, you did say that.

All right. I'll do it. Fucking Gregg's a man of his word, all right?

Cash in, cash out. Cycle of life.

I'll double the price on all types of zombie pills. Come on.

-Okay. -Okay.

Angel?

Where the fuck is everyone?

[keys jangling]

[brakes squealing]

[indistinct chattering]

[woman 4] How'd you get your cars to run, huh?

How come our cars aren't working? What the fuck is going on?

[banging on door]

-Hey! -Easy.

Easy. I'm 68 Whiskey. Corporal Adams. Out of Fort Huachuca.

What are you doing up here?

Not active anymore. I mean, I might be.

I don't know. They call in reserves yet? I just don't know.

She's fine.

That's a lot of pills, Jill.

I can explain. It's not what it looks like, I promise.

-[woman 5] Pack those up for me, please. -[Jill] Yes, ma'am.

I know you stuck your neck out for me to get this job, and I am so appreciative,

-and-- and I know I screwed up-- -I don't care.

Was that an EMP yesterday? Are we at war?

People are saying it's been happening all over. Who would we even attack?

[Jill] Major Murphy?

Hard drives are useless. Anything with a microchip is fried.

Here's everything I have on hard copy.

-Hey. -Hey.

[soldier] Any additional personnel?

I'm starting a hub.

We could use you.

What's going on, Murphy?

We were the "get answers" people over there. They need those people again.

[soldier] Major...

we need to go now.

I can't do that anymore.

This is the location of the hub.

I'd like you to get Lori and my children, and...

get down there as soon as you can, all right?

Absolutely. No problem.

[man 3] You don't understand how serious this is.

You should have gone with her.

How is Murphy gonna bring the power back? She's a psychiatrist.

[man 3] It's not about the power.

There are contingencies for that. Replace enough wires and fuses...

It's about the people.

Nobody can sleep.

[exhaling] After 48 hours of no sleep, there's a loss of critical thinking.

Ninety-six hours, hallucinations, motor failure.

But what about after that? Organs will fail but then what?

Days of lying in paralysis until the heart shuts off?

Yeah, yeah, I know what happens.

Of course, you do.

But this is different.

Everything is accelerated.

Symptoms are appearing two to three times quicker.

It's gonna be total chaos.

We're not all going to die.

-Well, this is not happening to everyone. -Yes, it is.

Well, there is this one woman who can sleep.

They're bringing her to this hub.

Matilda was sleeping too. My daughter was sleeping.

Are you sure?

Jill, they're setting up a whole station based on this one sleeper.

That's how big of a deal she is.

Are you sure your daughter was sleeping?

Oh, I-I... I got into a car accident,

-but I'm fine. -Was your daughter also hurt?

What are you saying?

I'm just saying, odds are she wasn't sleeping.

What, do you think she's unconscious?

There are no such thing as unconscious people anymore.

They're either...

on, or they're...

off.

[footsteps hurriedly departing]

[door closing]

[dogs barking]

Matilda?

Matilda!

Matilda!

[panting]

Where is she? Where is she? Where is she?

Where is your sister? Where is your sister?

You're hurting me!

-[shaky breathing] -Psycho.

I'm sorry, I know.

Where-- Where is Matilda? Is she okay?

Yeah, she's fine.

Where is she? Please, Noah.

Church. Grandma took her to church.

Maybe we are meant to be awake.

'Cause you need to be woke to see how the world really is.

And the Lord says, "Come to me, all who labor

and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest."

She's not sleeping.

[knocking on door]

[door opening]

[footsteps approaching]

[door closing]

Not sleeping, Birdie?

Only my dad called me that.

I'm sorry, I forgot. I'm just... tired.

[pastor sighing]

Not everyone...

asked to be called to God, you know.

Some people just are.

I know that more than most because before I was a pastor...

I was a drug addict.

[chuckling]

Covered up the evidence with a tattoo.

I overdosed.

I mean, I should've died within hours, but I didn't.

I had built up such an immunity to narcotics over the years, I just...

laid there for three days in rest...

'til eventually I passed.

But I was only gone for a minute when they found me.

So, like Jesus, I... returned from the dead.

[chuckling]

Now, I'm not comparing myself to Jesus. I just...

[inhales deeply]

I'm saying that...

since that day, I dedicated my life to serving him.

And to me...

it was a miracle that I survived, you know?

And I think people really need a miracle right now.

I'm not sure what...

I mean...

You think I need to die?

No.

No, of course not.

No, I'm sorry. No.

I, um...

[inhaling deeply]

[pastor exhaling]

It's just everyone is tired and... desperate, you know?

People just want to know if you can sleep.

I can sleep.

It's just hard when I'm not tired.

Would it be okay if I prayed with you?

A lot of children say my prayers are so boring, they nod right off.

[chuckling]

Lord, we thank you for this day and we thank you for Matilda.

What the...

[panting]

Oh, okay.

717-127-0414.

[grunting]

[mumbling numbers softly]

[Noah] Pizza, really?

Uh, no, it's a test for mental sharpness.

-[Noah] How'd you do? -I-I got two wrong. It's fine.

Uh, we need to go and find a car, and get your sister somewhere safe, okay?

Everything with a circuit's fried.

-Cars don't work, Jill. -[sighing] Some do, Noah. Okay?

So, can you just help me out, please?

Grab your bag. Let's go.

We need to be careful.

Oh, shit!

-Your daughter, can she sleep? -[Jill] What?

-Is this your boyfriend? -No. No!

[Jill panting]

She can't sleep? Is she okay?

No, she's fine, she's fine. I was wrong. She was just pretending.

Matilda was totally sleeping.

I woke her up.

[Jill sighing]

What? She was sleeping.

Jesus, Jill, we need to get your daughter to Murphy.

-Look, she could be key. -Noah, we gotta go.

I know where the hub is.

They're setting up a station to help solve this.

Look, they already have this one sleeper.

Brian, we're not going there. Come on. Noah, let's go.

[Jill yelling] Hey! Yo, that's my bike!

Hey!

[pastor] In our basement, like an angel of peace,

a young girl sleeps.

So if she can sleep,

-that means we can too. -[people murmuring]

So, as all mankind lays awake,

we pray for answers.

-[man 4] Pastor... -Yeah.

So what if she can sleep?

Miracles spread, Jim.

Just like good grows, if you believe in it,

if you give it a fighting chance.

[man 5] There is no over-the-counter sleeping pills left.

[man 6] Give us the stuff behind the counter!

[man 5] You'll have to talk to your doctors. Get the notes.

[man 6] You know no doctor's answering his phone.

Please, I can't help you!

[indistinct screaming]

Come on.

Come on, Noah. Keep up.

[indistinct screaming continues]

Come on.

Whoa.

[Jill] Wait here.

[Noah] Oh, God.

It's only going to get worse.

What's happening to everyone?

[indistinct screaming]

[dog barking]

If we don't sleep...

Your mind will bend and bend until it breaks.

-[Noah sighing] -You snap.

Life changes like that.

But it's adversity that prompts us to change

-when we otherwise wouldn't. -[all] Amen.

So then we embrace it.

[Jim] Pastor...

She's awake.

[people murmuring]

-Matilda... -When are you gonna make us sleep?

-Patience, please. -[man 7] I don't have patience right now.

Raymond isn't responding. He's eating but not talking.

-He's tired, just like the rest of us. -He's beyond tired.

-He'll be fine. -[woman 6] We should sacrifice her.

[pastor] No.

God sacrificed Jesus, his own son, to save us.

God willingly sacrificed himself for our sins.

There is no sacrifice needed. We... We only need prayer.

God help me, I'm willing to be Pontius Pilate

-and condemn the girl. -Robert, sit down.

[yelling] Sit down!

-[pastor] That's enough. -[man 7] What good is prayer?

We need sleep.

Oh. Matilda.

-[Matilda] Mommy! -Hey, hold on.

Please, sit-- Sit down everyone.

Jill, we just wanted to pray with Matilda, that's it.

She can sleep. Maybe she can help. Lord knows we all need help right now.

Come on. Matilda is my daughter, and she's coming with me.

-[woman 7] Not legally, she ain't. -Please, sit-- sit down.

Doris... Doris takes care of those kids by law.

You're right.

But right now, with what's happening,

I can help, and you know I can help.

-[Jill] Okay, come on, Matilda. Let's go. -[Jim] She has to stay here.

[pastor] Hey, Jim.

She's special.

-[woman 8] She is. -Okay.

-Just calm down, everyone. -[Matilda] Mom?

-[man] Pastor, you promised. -Sit down, please.

[Brian] We're on the same team here.

You're all absolutely right.

-She is special. -[woman 9] That's right.

[Brian] But she can't help anyone here.

Now, we're all gonna die

if we don't solve this.

Right now, your brains are slowly swelling.

Our cranial walls are impressing on the brain,

and it's affecting critical thinking.

It's what happens when we don't sleep.

Now, the more excited we get,

the more blood flows to the brain, the worse we are.

So, the best thing we can do right now...

[inhaling deeply]

is take a deep breath...

[exhaling]

and calm down.

Now, we're gathering scientists and doctors to help solve this.

And they can.

And all they need is the girl.

Mom?

[breathing heavily]

No one dismisses the value of science,

but neither is she a test subject to run experiments on...

-You're not taking her anywhere. -[pastor] Jim, please.

-[woman 10] That's right. -Prayers are not gonna save--

Fucking people,

if you don't hand her over, I'll be back with the Army,

and they're not gonna ask nicely.

-You calm down! -[Brian] Is that what you want?

Because unless you people wake up, that is exactly what is gonna happen.

And book throwing, that's gonna--

[gunshot]

[people screaming]

[pastor] Jim, what have you done?

[woman 7] Doris took her down the back.

Noah, Noah, look at me. You're gonna be okay. All right?

I need you to meet me in the forest out back. I'm gonna get your sister.

[people screaming indistinctly]]

-[woman 11] She in there? -[man 9] Hey!

-[man 9] Bring her out! -[man 10] Get her out here!

[man 9] She's not in there. Get the guys. Let's look out back.

[crowd murmuring indistinctly]

[crowd gasping]

-[Doris gasping] -Where is she?

[Doris] She's not in there? She was.

It's a miracle.

This isn't Jesus rising from the tomb, Doris.

This is not who we are.

[pastor] Jim?

Jim!

[soft crying]

Matilda.

Oh, my God, my baby.

-Oh, baby. Oh, baby. -[Matilda whimpering]

-Grandma told me to run, but I couldn't. -Oh, that's okay.

-Are you okay? -Oh. No, I'm fine, baby. I'm fine.

-Please. -[Jim] God spoke to me, Pastor.

-Put it down. -[Jim] We can't let her leave.

Jim, put it-- put it down, please. You're scaring everyone.

[pastor breathing heavily]

[panting]

[pastor] Jim!

Please put down the gun.

[gunshots]

-[people screaming] -[Noah breathing shakily]

[panting]

[Jill] Come on, stay close.

-Come on. -[Matilda] Mom, stop, please!

What about Grandma!

[panting]

[Jill] Baby...

Your grandmother can't run, okay? She has a condition.

-All right? -But Mom, please--

No, no, no, no. She's gonna be fine.

-I need you to keep up with me, okay? -Okay.

How are you feeling?

No more running.

-All right, piggy-back time. Come on. -Okay.

Let's go, Noah.

[Jill panting]

This way.

Come on.

We're here.

[Matilda panting]

[Jill] Come here.

[Jill panting]

[Jill] We're gonna need a car. You stay here.

I'm gonna go get one.

Where are we going? [panting]

They call it the hub.

We can't go there.

-You don't know what they're capable of. -But we need to find a cure.

Noah, it's not that simple.

It-- It's right here, wherever this-- this is.

I touched a dead body to get this. A dead body!

It's not safe there.

What's your plan here, Jill?

We bring Matilda somewhere safe,

we both die, and she lives alone?

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

Here.

Light this. Light it.

-Burn it. Burn this, and we can't go. -Noah, stop that.

It doesn't work.

[breathing heavily]

Wake up, Mom.

[Noah] This is our only chance.

If we're all gone, she'll be dead within days.

There's another woman there already. They're gonna find a cure. They will.

[Noah] Please.

Okay.

[birds chirping]

[rock clattering]

Hello?

Hello?

Gregg?

215-124-0519.

[mumbling softly]

Not even close.

Hello?

Gregg?

[man 11] We got the pick of the litter. How about the Beemer instead?

-[man 12] Idiot! It's gotta be an old car. -[soft thud]

What was that?

[whispering] Gregg.

[Gregg breathing heavily]

[gun cocking]

[Gregg breathing heavily]

It's just Gregg.

He's, like, still awake.

He can't even sleep now?

Shit.

Sleep.

-Sleep. -[Gregg whimpering]

Sleep, baby, sleep.

[stomping]

Okay.

Okay, can we focus? Get that Camry started?

Goddamn!

World's in chaos and you're wasting time stomping heads.

Why can't we do the Beemer?

[man 12] This is the last time I tell you.

We need an old car. No electronics.

It had no battery in it when whatever the fuck was happening...

[man 11] Now I'll start it.

The Camaro or the Dodge should work with one of the older batteries.

[wrench cranking]

Get in. Give it a shot.

[man speaking indistinctly]

[car door opening]

[man 12] Ahh...

[car door closing]

[man 11] Transmission's in. Fingers crossed.

[man 12] It's fine.

-[man 11] Tell me when you're ready. -[man 12] Yeah.

[attempting to start engine]

-[engine revving] -Whoo!

[man 11] There it is. Told you we could boost the battery.

-[man 12] Sweet! -[man 11] Go get the keys for the Dodge.

And grab the battery we brought up from the basement!

-[engine revving] -[man 11] Ha-ha!

[man 12] But I get the Camaro.

[man 11] What?

[man 12] I get the Camaro.

-I don't want a Polara. I want a Camaro. -[man 11] Just grab the keys, pendejo.

[man 12] All right!

All right.

[keys clattering]

[man 11] You find it?

[man 12] They're in here somewhere. You find 'em.

I want the Camaro.

Is that right, sheriff?

[man 12] I'm taking that fucking car.

[man 11] You're not.

-Yo, you hear that? -[car accelerating in the distance]

-[man 11] You heard that, right? -[man 12] Yeah.

Someone else got a car running, too.

[man 11] Fuck.

[groaning]

Man, they were stocked up. Medical shit.

Bet they could sleep with that.

Let's go.

[man 11] Grab all the keys. We'll come back for the Dodge later.

[breathing heavily]

[keys jangling]

[keys rattling]

[continues breathing heavily]

Here. It's easy.

Just one motion.

Who's Emily?

[Noah] My girlfriend.

Ex-girlfriend.

Did you guys ever...

do it?

What?

[vehicle approaching]

Shit.

Mom?

Everything okay?

Noah's never had sex.

I--

I have.

Hey, get in.

Seat belt on.

[car engine purring]

So, what happened with this girlfriend?

No.

We're-- We're not going to talk about this right now.

Noah, come on. I basically-- I basically had you when I was your age.

We do not need to have this conversation.

Okay.

-But you can talk to me if you-- -[Noah] Are we done?

Yeah, we're done.

[Noah sighing]

[Noah] Why her?

Why not us?

[Jill] What's this?

Stay in the car.

[car door opening]

[engine idling]

[Jill sighing]

[sighing]

[inhaling deeply, exhaling]

[inhaling]

[inhaling]

Those were Murphy's guys that shot up that car.

I worked with Murphy, overseas.

She helped me get a job at the university and...

helped me with rehab, too.

She's a psychiatrist, Noah.

Sleep expert.

In the desert, she would...

help set parameters for interrogation.

Sleep deprivation, it was torture.

They killed people.

The kind of things that we would do to try to find answers, it's not human.

Are we still going to the hub?

[sighing]

Yeah.

[Jill] Oh, my God.

[tires squealing]

[tires squealing]

We're gonna need, like, a book on mapping.

[sighing]

Hey, sweetheart.

[Matilda] Hey.

[Jill] You okay?

[Matilda] Mm-hmm.

[Jill] Come here.

I-- I want to make sure that you understand how this works, okay?

Mom, I know how a library works.

Yeah. The computers don't work anymore, so...

This is gonna be your new school.

So, when mommy's gone, you'll need to find a library.

Okay? And... read. Don't stop reading, and I...

[breathes heavily]

...and I need you to learn as much as you can, okay?

'Cause you are my smart girl.

All right.

All right. Um...

Um, come with me over here.

Here we go.

Okay, look at me. I'm gonna teach you something very important, okay?

I need you to learn how to shoot this gun, okay?

And, look at me, not just for people, but for animals too. All right?

And we're gonna find you a rifle,

and you're gonna learn how to shoot that too,

because the world is different now, baby, okay?

And you gotta be prepared for anything.

All right? Here we go.

Put two hands on the gun for me. There you go.

Okay.

Hold onto it strong just like the handlebars of your bike.

Put this foot forward. There we go. Nice strong stance, okay?

Keep both eyes open. And you see that eye groove?

I want you to look right through that, all right?

Now focus, breathe.

[shaky breathing]

You can do this.

I don't like guns.

-Matilda, please. -[Matilda] I don't want to.

-You have to. -No!

-You have to. -No!

-Yes, Matilda! -We're gonna find a cure, okay?

And you and Noah are gonna shoot the gun.

[Matilda gasping]

[gunshots]

[crying]

[Jill] Now you do it.

-Oh. -[crying] I'm going to the car.

Wait, baby. Baby, come--

[Noah] Hey!

Did you shoot at me?

No. Noah, I thought you were in the car.

I was here. I said I was here.

Who's in the car, Noah?

No one.

You said to find books on mapping.

[sighing]

Just don't shoot at me again, okay?

[Noah] I think the coordinates lead here.

[Jill] Mmm.

It looks like...

it... it's 1,500 miles away?

I think it's 150 miles. I don't know. We haven't slept in four days.

I-I wrote down the directions.

I think.

[thudding in the distance]

[thudding continuing]

[man 13] Hey!

[Jill panting]

Matilda. Come on.

[panting]

[tires squealing]

No. No.

[yelling] Stop! Stop!

[man 14] Hey.

I'm not stopping. I'm gonna hit you. I'm not stopping.

[tires squealing]

[yelling] Fuck you!

Hey, I ain't gonna hurt you.

I ain't.

I promise.

Just, hey, let me have the boy.

No, you can go. I'll let you go. Hey, give me the boy.

I'll let you-- I'll let you go.

I'm just messing around. I'm messing around.

We're all free men here. It's all good.

Hey, can I-- Can I have that gun?

Noah, I'm gonna shoot at one.

They're gonna scatter. You're gonna go inside and lock yourself in, okay?

Noah!

-Noah! -Hey, give me-- Give me the gun.

Are you gonna shoot me?

Go on.

-Sweetheart-- -[gunshot]

[men exclaiming]

Noah, run.

[yelling] Noah, run!

Yeah, run, Noah, you pretty little bitch.

[tires squealing]

Hey, Mommy. Get in.

-Get in, Mom, please. -Get in!

Yeah, get in.

-Who are you? -[man 15] Why does it matter?

What is your name?

-I said, "What's your name?" -Dodge! Dodge, call me Dodge.

How did you get out, Dodge?

I was locked in the cells, guards were gone, okay?

We were starving, and I thought that, you know, I was gonna die in there.

And then the guards came back and opened the cell.

-[Jill] You just walked out? -Yeah, I just walked out.

-Where are you heading? -I'm in a red fucking jumpsuit. Okay?

I'm heading far away.

-Far from here, okay? -Watch out!

-[Jill, Dodge grunting] -[tires squealing]

[Dodge grunting]

[Dodge grunting]

Ha!

[pants, chuckling]

[Dodge laughing]

-[Dodge continues laughing] -[engine idling]

There are no bullets in that.

What?

There are no bullets in that gun.

[engine turns off]

I keep the keys. And we need gas.

[door opening]

No bullets, huh?

Fuck!

Oh, my God.

[Matilda] Mom?

[Jill] Okay, that should be clean enough.

So, you saw I put it in the gas tank, right?

And now I want you to just, um, suck on it like a straw,

but do it hard,

and then when it comes out, put the gas in the tank.

You're gonna put it in here, okay?

So your sister can sleep, huh?

Where's your father at?

[Noah sighing]

He died...

in the war.

Oh, he served.

Not bad.

Not good either.

[Dodge] Change of clothes, baby!

Go on.

Come on, you can do it.

Come on, you gotta learn, Matilda. You got this.

[sucking]

-[Jill] Oh! Oh. -[coughing]

-I drank it. -Okay, baby. It's okay. It's all right.

-Spit it out. -[coughing]

Hey, your mom's hardcore, man.

[sighing] She's getting Matilda ready in case we can't find a cure.

-She thinks I don't know what she's doing. -A cure?

You guys are trying to find a cure?

You know, the funny thing is, I usually sleep, like,

two to three hours tops at night,

but now, you know...

So, you're taking our car?

Well, depends where you're heading.

North. Lewisburg, right?

[Dodge] Hmm.

That's where I'm heading, too.

North.

You know, you should probably hang onto it.

You, uh, look pretty mean pointing it at people.

Just in case something happens. [chuckling]

[engine revving repeatedly]

[Jill] That's good, baby.

Remember, two hands on the steering wheel.

Yes, I have two hands.

Okay, I was just telling you so you don't forget.

You always say I have a really good memory.

-Why do you think I'll forget? -Eyes on the road, please.

Thank you. [sighing]

Fixing this car is gonna be so hard. Oh, man. Okay.

But there are books on that, okay? You hear?

Burn the books, man. Burn 'em all.

-Don't need those anymore. -Ah, eyes!

Can you maybe just not-- Focus on the road, please.

Not talk to her so she can concentrate, please.

[Dodge] Enough people said that the Earth was flat,

so the Earth was flat.

Then, they said the Earth was round...

so the Earth was round.

The Earth is round.

Prove it.

[Noah] Science proves it.

[Dodge laughing] Science? And who understands the science, huh?

Eyes on the road, please, always.

[Dodge] Enough people talk about something, right?

Then it becomes fact.

Then they put it in the books, and then the book becomes fact.

Then it's settled.

Then no one understands it anymore, no one even talks about it anymore.

Fuck, this is why we gotta burn the books, man.

He said the F-word.

I know. Please shut up.

[Dodge, softly] Sorry.

-She's a kid. -Okay.

You know, my grandmama, you know what she used to tell me?

-Huh? -That all the world's problems

could all disappear in one generation

if every kid grew up forgetting all the shit they were taught,

the shit that doesn't make sense,

but you're taught it enough times, you believe it.

Then we can actually live in a world

where no one is starving...

and everyone's equal.

-Really? -Whoa.

[tires squealing]

I'm sorry, guys.

I used to think she was crazy, though, Grandma.

[Dodge laughing]

Man, but now...

maybe she was on to something.

-Watch out. You see that there? -[Matilda] Yeah.

Go right around the car, just like that.

Hey...

Slow down. Slow down, put the brake on.

[brakes squealing]

What the fuck?

Let's go.

Let's go, let's go, let's go, right now! Put your head down, Matilda!

-Come on. -[Dodge] Move, move!

I'm trying, I'm trying!

[tires squealing]

-[crash] -[Dodge yelling]

[Jill] Watch out, Matilda!

[man 16 yelling]

[all grunting and screaming]

[tires squealing]

-[Matilda screaming] -[Noah] Matilda!

-[Matilda screaming] -[woman 12 grunting]

-[woman 12 screaming] -[gunshot]

[grunting and screaming]

[Jill] Press the gas, Matilda!

Press the gas!

-[Matilda screaming] -[man 16 grunting]

-[woman 12 screaming] -[Noah grunting]

-[Dodge] Go, go, go! -[screaming]

Mommy!

[Matilda screaming]

[Matilda grunting]

Mom!

[Matilda whimpering]

[car braking]

[gear shifting]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, why're you stopping the car?

-You see those lights ahead? -[engine idling]

[Dodge inhaling]

[Dodge] Mm-hmm.

Noah, do you see them?

[Noah] Yeah.

[Jill] That's the hub.

We have to get off the road.

[shifts gear]

[accelerating]

[sighing]

[sighing]

Are you guys sure you don't want me to stick around

and maybe help with whatever y'all are doing?

No, you go to where you need to get.

-Yeah. -[Matilda] Bye, Dodge.

Bye-bye, kids.

It's time for me to get the fuck out of Dodge.

[engine revving]

All right.

[exhaling]

[shifts gear]

[accelerating]

Hey, why'd we stop at this place?

We're just gonna, um...

I'm gonna just go first, okay?

Make sure it's safe.

If I don't come back, I want you to stay in this house, okay?

There's enough food to last you about a week.

-No. No, no, no. -Mat-- [shushing]

[whispering] It's just in case.

It's just in case.

And if anyone comes, I want you to hide.

Okay? Especially men, okay?

-Okay? -Yeah.

Okay. Okay.

[Matilda crying]

It's just in-- It's just in case. It's just in case.

[Jill breathing shakily]

Hey, Noah.

[continues breathing shakily]

Come back.

I will.

[crying]

Don't come after me, okay?

[breathing heavily]

Aww.

Army baby needs her meds.

[exhaling] Fuck you, Danny.

[clears throat, sniffing]

Navy prick.

-[special op 1] Diaz, we're going up. -[special op 2] Let's go.

[special op 1] I'll take them up. You watch the bridge.

We'll get you situated.

It'll be all right.

[special op 1] Come on, let's go.

[special op 2] Checking the bridge!

[footsteps thudding]

[suspenseful music]

[breathing heavily]

-[woman 13] I can't do this. -[man 17] Just keep taking the meds.

It'll help you work.

[woman 13] I don't have training on the hemopurifier.

I'm not equipped for--

[man 17] Ah, shit, what was the code? I wrote it down.

Two, zero, four, six.

[woman 13] Two, zero, four, six.

Okay, let's go.

Two, zero, four, six.

Two, zero, four, six.

Two, zero...

four...

[gasping]

[shaky sigh]

Four, six...

Four...

Two, six...

Zero, two...

Okay.

Two...

zero...

four...

What...

Come on.

Please, please, please, please.

-Six. -[unlocking]

[exhaling]

[people chattering]

[man 18] Hey, hey.

-[Jill] Huh? -You.

That's mine.

Huh? Oh, okay.

Okay, I'm sorry. I, uh...

Oh, wh--

Where's the woman, uh, that can sleep?

Yeah.

Oh, God. Oh, God.

You need blood samples?

They already did radio x-ray.

Yeah, I need blood-- I need to take blood samples.

Yeah. Okay.

Okay.

[woman 14 breathing heavily]

[woman 14 groaning] Oh.

How much blood can you take from me?

[breathing heavily]

It's okay, I'm not gonna hurt you.

I want out of here.

[groaning]

Good. I can help you with that.

You need to raise my daughter.

I have a little girl. She's ten years old,

and she needs you to help her in the new world.

[clears throat]

I...

I can't--

I...

-I can't-- -No.

Is-- Why?

She can't make it on her own.

She needs somebody to help her.

Okay? She needs someone to help her. You're the only one who can do it.

In the next few days, the rest of us are gonna be dead, okay?

I'm gonna take you out of here.

I'm the one that needs help.

[inhales deeply] I was supposed to be dead months ago.

You're crazier than the rest of them.

Jill?

[Jill] Dr. Murphy.

I, uh...

-[Murphy] What are you doing here? -[panting]

I came to help.

After you left the campus, Brian helped me with the coordinates.

Brian...

My family, are-- are they with you?

Oh...

No, uh...

Brian was, um...

I'm-- I didn't see him again. So I'm assuming he was here.

They're not here?

I'm sorry.

Uh...

Is there a cure?

It's been six days, and we're no closer.

We have, um, a cocktail that helps with mental acuity,

but it's-- it's causing some...

neurological damage.

But it is...

It's buying us some time.

This morning, I...

[inhaling deeply] I thought...

maybe the only answer...

[chuckling]

we're gonna get is...

that none of us are gonna survive.

But...

you got here, right? [chuckling]

I mean, that must mean something.

Get some meds...

get situated, and let's get to work.

I'm so glad you're here.

[breathing heavily]

Oh.

Uh...

Oh.

[thunder crashing]

[exhaling]

[soldiers yelling indistinctly]

-[tires squealing] -Hands up! Get out!

-Get down! On your knees! -Get out of the car.

-[soldier] Hands up! -No.

-[Dodge] Don't shoot, okay? -[soldier] Get down on your knees!

Don't shoot!

-Listen! -[soldier] Get out of the car!

-No, no! -[soldier] On your knees!

-Okay, okay, I'm here to help! -Get out of the car.

-[Dodge] I'm here to help. -Show me your fucking hands!

-Oh, no. -[Dodge] Listen.

No, no!

[soldier 4] Hands up! Hands!

[Jill] Hey! Oh! [gasping, grunting] -[soldier grunting]

[Jill] Oh, God!

Don't fucking move!

[soldier 1] On your fucking knees!

-[soldier 2] I'll blow your head off! -[cries out]

I will shoot you in the fucking face!

-[soldier 3] Get out of the car. Hands up! -[Dodge] Okay, don't shoot!

[soldier 4] Put your hands up!

-[Dodge] We're here to help. Okay? -Keep moving! Show me your hands! Go!

-[soldier 1] Keep moving! -[Dodge] She's just a little girl!

Stop moving!

[Matilda crying]

[thunder crashing]

I can sleep.

[crying]

I can sleep.

[sighing]

[sighing]

I can help people sleep?

[Katz] Yes.

And we need to find out what makes you so special.

Is he still alive?

[Katz] Oh, yeah, she is still alive.

We, um...

had to ease the tension by...

draining the cerebral fluid, but...

that hasn't helped.

A catch-22. The only way to ease the tension is to drain the fluid,

the only way to clean the brain is the fluid.

Can I touch her?

[Katz] Sure.

You're such a brave, sweet girl.

[chimp whimpering]

[whimpering]

[Katz] Ether.

Well, see?

Nothing.

-[chimp whimpering] -No effect.

Most animals are able to sleep...

after the incident, but chimps, well...

they were always closest to humans.

[Murphy] Hi.

I'm Dr. Murphy, I'm-- I'm a friend of your mom's.

Can she?

[Katz] Uh, we're gonna, um...

try the ether on you now, Matilda.

-To prove that you're special. -[Matilda] Will it hurt?

[Katz] No, we're not gonna hurt you. I'm a doctor.

We don't hurt people.

[Murphy] Kinda weird, huh?

Yeah.

[Murphy] Slow, easy breaths, babe.

There you go.

Nice and easy. It's okay.

Nice and easy.

She sleeps.

Poor thing.

Amazing.

[Murphy sighing]

Hey.

I...

I want to be disappointed...

that you didn't tell me about Matilda

after all I've done for you.

But, as a mother, I understand.

[sighing]

How long have I been here?

Uh...

Eighteen hours.

Why can she sleep?

Who?

[Murphy] Who? Matilda.

Has she had any, um... any surgeries?

How long have I been here?

It was, um...

some sort of a...

a solar flare, we think.

It... changed our electromagnetic wiring.

It affected our glymphatic system.

Messed with our...

our clocks.

Matilda.

Matilda.

Oh, please, let her go.

Jill, your survival--

Our-- Our survival depends on Matilda.

Hmm?

Gotta keep trying.

[Jill] Oh, no, please.

Oh, no, please, please. No, no, no, that's my baby.

That's my baby.

That's my baby girl. Please just take, like, blood samples or something, please!

[door opening]

You really an electr-- electrician?

[woman 13] Come on. Let's get you cleaned up.

It's a cocktail of anti-inflammatories, stimulants, other things.

It reduces the beta-amyloid.

It'll help.

Um, it's most effective when injected near the brain.

The carotid.

Fuck that.

Fuck--

What--

Okay.

[labored breathing]

[labored breathing continues]

[Katz] Ah.

-[Katz grunting] -I think she stopped breathing.

[Katz] Huh?

Defib. Hey! I need your help! Okay.

Okay, come on.

-I need you to press "charge." -[Murphy] Okay.

-[Katz] Okay? Charge. -[Murphy] Ready. Charging.

[Katz] Clear!

You're hurting her.

[Katz] We're trying to restart her heart. Do it again.

-[Murphy] Charging. -[Katz] Clear!

-[defibrillator beeping, shocking] -[Katz] One more time.

-[Matilda gasping] -[Murphy] Charging.

[Katz] Clear!

[nurse] It's all the spiders in here.

There's too many.

That's why they're all melting.

We have to get rid of the spiders.

-It's all the spiders in here. -[Murphy] Well...

Let's get her brother up here... so we can compare them.

-[nurse] There's too many. -What?

I have to save...

[gasping] We need to save her.

We... We need...

-You lied to me. -We-- We just--

[Noah] You wanted to find a stranger to leave Matilda with.

I guess that's what you do.

You rely on other people to raise your kids.

[screaming] No! [gasping]

-Why didn't you just tell me? -Noah!

Why did you bring me here? Why'd you make me think it was just for me? Why?

-I'm sorry. [gasping] -[Noah] That doesn't mean anything.

[screaming] Noah! Noah! Noah!

[heaving] Noah, don't do this! Noah!

[screaming] Please! Noah, please!

-Don't! -You? You're coming with us.

Hey, you? You're coming with us.

No.

No, no. No, no, no.

No, no, no, no, please!

Please, please, please!

[crying] Noah, please.

No, don't take-- Don't take my other baby, please.

[crying] Please don't take my other baby.

[Katz] No one's attacking. They're losing their minds.

She's okay? You're okay.

You're okay. All right.

-I know we can do this. -[glass breaking]

-[yelling] -[gunshots]

Get down on the ground!

-Get down on the fucking ground! -Okay, okay.

Sandra?

Sandra, is that you?

-Yeah. Yes! -[soldiers screaming in the distance]

Yes, yes, it's me!

-You fucking cunt. -[gasping]

[gunshots]

[gunshot]

Huh? Huh?

[crazed soldier] Don't fucking look at me!

If you move, I swear I'll blow your fucking head off!

Hey! He's just a kid! You're just seeing things, okay?

No one is attacking us!

This is an extinction event.

-Do it. -[glass shattering]

[Matilda] No! No, no, no! Oh, no!

-[gasping] -[Katz] It's okay.

[Jill] Matilda!

-Matilda. -Mom?

[panting]

Jill, I-I-I can't let you take her.

No, no, no, no, no, no.

-What are you doing? -[Katz] Put the knife down.

[Jill] What are you doing?

Please, please.

Aah!

-[Jill gasping] -[Murphy groaning in pain]

-He didn't remove the air from the needle. -[Murphy groaning]

You have to remove the air, or you can die.

-[glass shattering] -[Murphy gasping]

[Murphy groaning]

[Murphy gasping, thuds]

[Katz] I had to.

I'm sorry.

[panting] Okay.

Come with me.

Where's Noah? We have to find him.

Please wake up for me, please!

Mom! Please, Noah, please! [grunting]

[Matilda] Okay. Okay, I got it.

That's it. Turn it on. Put the pads on.

-[Jill panting] Okay. -[Matilda] Adjust.

[Jill] I can't. -[Matilda] Okay.

-[Jill] I need help. -[Matilda] Come on! Come on!

[Matilda grunting] Okay. Okay.

Wait, we have to clear.

Noah. Noah, Noah.

Noah?

Mom?

[Jill heaving]

I think Noah's...

Mom.

Go.

[Jill whimpering]

It's okay.

[Jill gasping]

Noah.

Hey, Noah!

Noah, come on, please.

Noah.

-Noah, please. Noah, please. -[Jill groaning]

Noah, please.

He's not dead.

Mom, he's not dead.

[crying]

He's not dead.

Noah.

-[Matilda crying] -[Noah gasping]

Hey, Mom, he's alive.

-[Jill heaving] -I was dreaming.

[heaving]

-Noah. -Mom.

[Jill crying]

I was dreaming.

-It's okay. It's okay. -[Jill wailing]

Mom.

[Matilda] Oh.

No, no.

No.

[panting]

Who are you?

[panting]

I'm their mother.

[gasping]

[Jill panting]

Thank you. Thank you.

Mom?

[Jill breathing heavily]

[Jill whimpering]

Mom, can you hear me?

[Jill breathing heavily]

You were right...

[Jill whimpering]

about not wanting to come here.

You were right...

to try to find someone to help Matilda.

I know you love us.

I know you do.

I can't lose you, too.

We need you.

Matilda needs you.

I need you.

[breathing heavily]

[grunting]

You died, Noah. You died.

Your heart wasn't beating, I listened to it.

And then when I got the defibrillator, I brought you back.

Yeah, I owe you, okay?

We don't have lots of time to discuss it. Mom's not gonna make it.

[Matilda] Did I die?

Did I die, too?

-What? -In the water, when the sheriff saved me.

I mean, there was nothing, absolutely nothing,

and then the sheriff was pushing on my chest, he was hurting me.

Maybe I started over?

[Noah] So you're saying...

I mean...

Oh, fuck.

[Jill heaving]

You have to trust me, Mom.

Put her down.

-Gently. -[exhaling]

[Matilda] Okay.

-[smooching] -[Noah] Come on, grab her leg.
