Man: This is what I remember.

People had been reading signs

into everything from tea leaves to tutus

as the millennium approached,

everyone waiting.

Then...nothing.

It came and went.

( monitors beeping )

Still, even after all these years later,

something ominous was in the air.

We'd had it too good for too long.

It was a time of milk and honey,

hard bodies and hot rods,

chaos and cappuccino.

Some things the private sector was smart enough to fix,

but new ideas still stirred old fires

and even older remedies.

We'd saved billions by privatizing prisons.

Still, our military was operating on a shoestring.

- Come on! Come on! - The politicians thought

they could predict the future.

( dog barking )

( overlapping chatter )

The people were still trying to believe in something,

even me.

Me, I'm a soldier.

In a world full of rules,

I broke them.

They called me renegade.

In the Euro-Asian conflict, I broke more.

They gave me a medal

and began closing bases.

War was over, obsolete.

I knew better and told the president so...

publicly.

She was pissed, big time.

I wondered how bad it would be.

It was bad.

The DOD reassigned me to close down

what was left of Fort Edenberg,

a junkyard depot

for every branch of the military.

They called it the Boneyard.

I called it my graveyard.

Everything that no one wanted

from World War II, Korea, Vietnam,

and the last five conflicts was stored there,

now... me.

( helicopter whirring )

Okay, thanks.

Oh, wait a minute.

My camera.

Thanks.

Man: I thought it couldn't get any worse,

and then it did. The Big One,

9.5 on the Richter scale...

400 seconds of hell

that changed the face of the world forever.

( horns honking )

California separated along the San Andreas fault.

A new island off the coast of Arizona was born,

Mojave Island.

Whoa. Oh!

( alarm blaring )

( laughs )

( laughing )

( yells )

Move it! Move!

What's going on?

Just move! It's gonna blow! Go!

- Go! - Come on.

Move! Move! Get out of the way!

( yells )

Man: The old California's gone.

The old way of life is gone,

and a new order has begun.

I'm Captain Nick Preston,

U.S. Army.

Marine Sergeant Lucky Simcoe

and Air Force Captain Sara McBride

are all that's left in control of Fort Edenberg.

Three different branches of the military,

one mission.

We search for food, fuel, and fellow survivors.

And this is our last patrol.

( static crackles )

Preston: Miriam and Will arrived

on day 20 A.E.-- After Earthquake--

a lucky couple from Pomona

on their way back from Vegas,

carrying the biggest jackpot of their lives,

$48,000 in cold hard cash.

Then their luck ran out.

Pope straggled in the first week alone.

He was delivering lemons from his tribe's orchard

when the quake turned over his truck

and turned back the clock.

Now those ancient skills may come in handy.

And Cooky,

well, we don't know who he is.

He says he's an Indian doctor

who happens to be a gourmet cook.

Pope says he is no Indian.

One thing for sure,

he can't cook.

Daddy! Daddy!

Candy, Lucky's wildcat wife

and our resident desert bloom,

a mirage of mismanaged beauty.

Did you hear anything?

No, not yet, sweetheart,

but Captain's working on it.

Candy kept the child alive in all of us.

The graves of the quake victims

reminded us how badly we needed that.

I told you that we need to head east.

East.

Now, look, by my calculations,

it's where my pilot might be.

Why do you keep fighting me on this, Preston?

I'm not fighting you, McBride.

I've considered your advice

and rejected it.

We fan west.

That's our patrol for now.

What are you afraid of in the east?

What is out there that we can't handle?

Or you can't handle?

( static squelches )

Preston: McBride had a mind like radar,

and when she focused it on me,

it opened up doors I had slammed shut.

( instrumental gospel music playing )

I can't get her out of my mind

or my dreams.

Someone I'd known only for a moment

means more to me than a family I can't remember.

She knew something was going to happen,

and she was carrying her brood to the desert.

Did she save them?

Sometimes I think I hear them singing.

Every day, I search for them,

praying they're alive.

There is nothing there, Preston.

( goats bleating )

Yes, there is.

Come on.

( bleating continues )

I got to warn you, I'm armed.

With love, brother, only love.

Now is this any way to greet the man

that does nothing but bring life

to you and your encampment?

( man chuckles )

Oh--!

You're the milkman?

Ferguson McGee,

millennium milkman, straight from the dairy.

Oh, God, finally, a decent meal.

How did you get here?

Well, I walked. I got me a ranch.

Well, had a ranch.

Yeah, who you been selling to?

McGee: Few survivors early on.

Have to say I haven't seen anybody in weeks.

A Marine?

No, mostly commoners heading north,

and that's where I'm going.

Blue Mountains, you know?

There's 300 miles of liquefaction

between you and the Blue Mountains.

You'll never make it.

I met a woman who's been there.

- A woman? - Oh, yes.

Black as night,

beautiful as the sun,

a holy woman.

She claims there's a bridge back home.

Did she have kids with her?

Kids? No.

No kids, excepting for my little girls over there.

( laughs )

We'll buy some.

- What you got? - Cash.

McGee: Good cold cash will do me good on the other side.

Will: How much?

10,000 U.S. dollars.

That's highway robbery.

I got a head for business.

Got anything else, folks?

- Oh, we have water. - Baby, just--

- Baby, please, just... - ( gasps )

You know, we could overpower you

and take your goats if we want to.

But you won't, will you?

- Daddy. - Well, she might.

Will: Well, 5,000, and that's it.

Well, all right.

I want the big one, the shampoo bottle.

Don't drink that milk!

Why are you trying to poison my camp?

( chuckles ) I told y'all

I had a head for business.

( laughs )

Come on, little ladies. Time to go.

Let him go.

Well, shouldn't we go after him?

He's dead anyway.

And we will be too without antibiotics.

Those goats have Q fever.

It's like a flu from hell, deadly.

Captain. Captain.

Daddy, don't leave me here with these sick people.

Sweetheart, we got to find

the antibiotic, okay? We'll be okay.

I promise. I promise.

Pope, we're counting on you.

I'm not saluting you.

And don't follow me everywhere.

( bell ringing )

My trap. ( gasps )

We're going to have something different tonight

if I have to barf it up and call it casserole.

( gasps ) Finally, a decent meal.

About time this stupid old trap worked.

Man: Help me.

Good Lord.

Ow.

Well, who are you?

Private Jasper, U.S. Army.

( sighs ) Great.

I finally catch something in this stupid trap,

and it's a man,

another hard ankle in a uniform,

like I need another one.

I won't hurt you.

I been in the desert for weeks.

Can smell that's true.

Oh, God, I haven't seen another person in...

God, you're beautiful.

- ( gunshot ) - ( screams )

What are you doing?

You could kill someone with that thing.

We don't know who that is.

Well, can't you see?

It's a soldier boy.

Mine.

McBride: Here it is.

Hospital marker right there,

Mercury, California.

Where is it?

Watch for checkered sand, Lucky.

We'll be swimming in liquefaction

if you miss it.

Now, what was that--

what was that knot-head thing, you know?

It was kind of creepy.

Not as creepy as the other thing.

Yeah, what other thing?

All those goats were exactly the same.

Well, radiator's dry.

What do you think that's all about?

Someone's thirsty.

( horse neighs )

McBride, get over here.

Take a look at this.

( faint hoofbeats )

Where is she?

Over there at the rodeo.

( whinnying )

Whoa, boy. Come on.

All right.

Preston: Forget it, McBride.

- We can't feed a horse. - Come on.

Come on, baby.

Oh, yeah. We could eat him.

- ( whinnies ) - ( yelling )

- Lucky: Jeez, McBride. - Come on.

Okay, go.

( yells )

She wants that horse.

Uh-huh. You going to get it for her?

Yeah.

Captain.

- What? - You know,

I mean, I seen Roy Rogers

do this in action movies,

but as far as I know, he was just acting.

( yelling continues )

Captain! Sir! Nick!

( screams )

Ho!

( coughing )

Nice save, Preston.

Sergeant.

( coughing )

How's that horse?

Horse is doing just fine, Captain.

Good.

That was some show, cowgirl.

You didn't quite make the eight seconds.

Oh, that's very funny. You should have left me alone.

I almost had him.

( rumbles )

This ground is unstable.

Come on, let's go. Hang on.

Hold on.

Come on.

( horse neighs )

Well, looks like you're going to need

a little makeover there, McBride.

Well, I'll make sure to have a word

with Candy when we get back to camp.

( siren wailing )

Whoa.

( rattles )

P.A.: Attention, everybody.

I have a gun.

You people are trespassing, and that's against the law.

Now take off your clothes.

What?

Don't argue with me!

I have to be sure.

Sure of what?

( regular voice ) That you're normal.

Do it!

I'm not dropping my pants.

I'm not dropping my pants!

Man: Hands over your head!

Now turn around!

All right, you may dress.

Hey, Officer, we're military--

Shut up!

( horse nickers )

I'm the keeper of the peace.

You live here?

I'm protecting the law.

Put the gun down.

No one's here to harm you.

We're here to help.

Hey, then maybe you'll guard the books.

If you'd do that, I won't write you up.

I'm so tired.

I haven't slept since--

got to be on guard,

especially now that they're loose.

What do you mean, "They're loose"?

That's official business.

They wanted you to know, you'd know.

Want a peanut?

Yeah.

Mmm.

( both chuckle )

You got any medical supplies?

( chuckles ) Excuse me.

Lucky: All right. Condoms.

Keep that. You might need it.

Got any--

any antibiotics, anything like that?

No.

No. N-no. No.

Did you see anyone else,

a bus?

Oh, a Greyhound. But not much left of it.

Hey, don't touch that. That's mine.

That's mine! That's mine! I found it!

Where's that from?

It's from a whirlybird, one of yours.

- Where is it? - I don't know. It was swallowed up.

Was there a body? Where is the body?

- No body. - Hey.

There's never a body.

Lucky: Hey, guys. Guys.

I got a camera here.

That's mine.

- That's mine. That's mine. - Whoa, whoa.

Lucky: Captain, do you realize we got a bird's-eye view

of before and after?

Yeah, if you can find a photo lab.

Lucky: Well, if you could find me anything,

find me a taco stand.

Hey, maybe your pilot didn't need this,

but we sure do.

Antibiotics.

Preston: Let's go.

Where is he? We have to know.

Where is he? We have to find him.

Where is he? Where is he?

McBride, where is your pilot?

I don't know.

And the horse's owner? I don't know.

And all those people who left their vehicles?

I don't know.

Yeah, it's like they just disappeared into thin air.

What do you think, huh? Aliens?

Oh, no.

It's much closer to home than that.

The monsters are loose.

The monsters are loose.

The monsters are loose!

The monsters are loose!

The monsters are loose!

The monsters are loose!

That guy's a walking aftershock,

a nutcase.

Or he's seen too much.

He's a nutcase.

"Live from Nanwong"!

Today's special guest is back,

fresh from a remarkable journey,

so you'll be glad you tuned in.

And now today's very special guest,

the new millennium milkman,

Ferguson McGee!

( cheering )

I am so happy to be here, Jesus.

So, Ferguson, we hear you have some exciting news.

That's right. That's right.

I'm proud to announce

that I have made contact with the outside.

Really? And how did it go?

Not so good.

- Ah. - Well, you know, it is hard

to keep all my customers satisfied.

( chuckles ) But two of them

will soon be part

of my regular route, so to speak.

( laughter )

And there's more.

I found something.

What? Tell us.

McGee: Well, sir,

I have found something

that we all have been praying and searching for.

- Water? - Water!

- ( cheering ) - Agua! Sí!

Agua!

Water, brothers. I found water.

( laughs )

Water!

- Water! - Water!

( horse neighing )

Have I got a surprise for you.

Where's Will and Miriam?

Oh, they're better. Cooky gave 'em something.

They're better.

Old herbal recipe. Fever's down.

Good. Cooky, give 'em this.

Half each. Understand?

Okay.

Meet my surprise.

Private Jasper.

Hey, Daddy, now you have somebody to boss around.

Jasper, this is Sergeant Lucky Simcoe,

my husband, soul mate.

Oh, can I keep him, Daddy?

Who are you?

Private First Class Richard Jasper, sir,

102nd Infantry, U.S. Army, sir.

That's not what your uniform says.

That's a Marine Corps pilot's uniform

with the insignia torn off.

Hey, I'm one of you.

What is it with you people?

This man saved my life.

We were on maneuvers when the quake hit,

and... I got separated from my unit.

My truck crashed into a crevice.

By the time I got out, my uniform was in rags,

so I figured I was a civilian again.

Where did you get that uniform?

I got it about a week ago.

I came upon this crashed helicopter.

The uniform was there. I took it.

Gets cold at night.

I felt sorry about the pilot,

so I took his name and insignia off.

What was the pilot's name?

I don't remember.

Uh...

Michael...

Lieutenant Michael something. I--

Who cares? He wasn't there!

Nothing was there! Just the sand, and--

Just the sand and sand. Oh, God.

Don't you understand?

He's been out there alone for weeks,

and finally he finds his way here.

You should be ashamed of yourselves,

especially you.

Lucky Simcoe, you're just acting like a savage.

All right.

Come on, soldier boy.

Welcome to Fort Edenberg.

I'll show you around.

I don't trust him.

He knows more about Mike.

Hey, I think this calls for a celebration.

What do you say, Captain?

( horse neighing )

I say...

let's party.

Whoo!

Hey, it's the Fourth of July.

Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait.

Excuse me, Captain,

but what exactly are we celebrating?

Fourth of July.

It isn't the Fourth of July.

It is to Candy.

You know, you've never really struck me

as the regular party boy.

And don't you think that our supplies

could be put to better use

than indulging Candy

in her latest little fantasy

and this Jasper?

Today we party, Captain.

And that's an order.

How are they doing, Cooky?

Good, Captain.

They had a fever,

but we got it down pretty quick.

How you feeling, Miriam?

She's great, much better. Much better.

Will too.

Will?

( snaps ) Will?

What did you give 'em?

Antibiotic.

No, before that.

Peyote.

Take the edge off the fever.

It worked.

( sighs )

I mean, they are completely gone,

comatose.

They are very happy, Captain.

Trust me.

Are they coming back?

Two hours, tops,

right back to normal.

They are coming back.

They will be at your party, Captain,

singing and dancing.

I'd settle for breathing.

You know me, Captain.

I do the best with what I have.

Come now.

We best leave them alone.

Don't want to scare them.

Now they look at you and think

you are some great big flying bat

or something.

So, Cooky...

you're not a doctor.

No.

You're not a cook.

No.

You're not an Indian.

No.

So what are you?

I'm nothing.

Comedian.

You're not funny.

I didn't say I was good.

I played the Catskills back east,

got a break, headed west,

supposed to open in Vegas at the Strip.

The Strip? You mean like...

Caesars Palace?

No, the Strip.

Strip-o-rama.

You know, the lounge.

Oh.

Imagine me...

naked.

( laughs )

I'd rather not.

( laughs )

So just for the record,

who are you going to be tomorrow?

It's a new world, Captain,

wonderful.

I can be whoever I want.

( water dripping )

( dog barks )

( barks )

You lost, boy?

Yeah, me too.

( barks )

( radio playing music )

Well, I was delivering supplies to my unit

when we got separated by the quake.

Supplies? What kind of supplies?

Well, don't get your hopes up.

It was a truck full of toilet paper.

Mmm. This is good. What is this?

Alpo, little kibble, spices.

Mmm. Dog food.

Border dogs.

This is the last station for the border dogs.

I'm glad you like it.

Cooky's the only cook in the world

who can make dog food taste worse.

Ah, with snack, I'm good.

Oh, yeah. It's good. It's different, yeah.

Cooky: Bon appétit.

Where's McBride's horse?

McBride: Hey, anyone who eats my horse dies.

What?

To remain in control.

That's all you hard-asses care about anyway

is authority, command, control.

And hard-asses like you, Captain McBride,

what do you care about?

Finding my pilot.

Hey, what's up with you and this pilot?

Since when do we not go out

and bring back our own?

Now you may have forgotten

- everything before the quake... - What are you talking about?

but I haven't.

What are you talking about?

Wait. Where did you learn how to ride like that?

Not in the Army, that is for sure.

She's trying so hard, Captain.

I mean, she's just trying so hard

to hang on to any little thing.

I mean, I feel like I robbed her of her life.

You didn't rob her.

The earthquake did.

Oh, no, it started before that.

( chuckles )

I mean, sometimes, I just think...

( chuckles )

I mean, sometimes, I feel like I should just take her.

Take her where?

Home.

I mean, you'd probably want to shoot me, Captain,

but I got to tell you,

sometimes I'm tempted, you know?

Just light out and try to find a way back.

'Cause I know her.

She just can't hold on much longer.

So would you?

Probably.

You'd shoot me?

No.

I'd want to take her home.

Yeah, but you wouldn't.

No.

You know, Lucky,

I don't think it's there anymore.

What do you mean?

I mean, America's still got to be there.

Not the America that we knew.

Well, yeah, but something,

I mean, some semblance.

I'm not saying that she's going to get

to go to the mall and shop right away,

but, I mean, certainly, Captain, there's got--

I think it's global.

Something's not right. Something's shifted.

Shifted?

I mean, now you're spooking me, Captain.

I mean, the stars aren't exactly

where they used to be. It's like...

It's like an axis shift.

Well, so you don't think

it's just us desert rats that are affected.

No.

It's the whole world.

Well, I don't think

I got the guts to tell her that.

Don't. Just...

Just tell her you love her, and...

tell her to hold on, keep making things pretty.

You can tell her from me she's got a great...

voice.

You know, my worst fear's just been realized.

I'm a crybaby.

I'm a crybaby Marine.

You're a good soldier, Lucky,

and I need you.

Well, you can count on me, Captain.

I mean, you can be sure of that.

You've got a seven. You've got a five.

You've got another seven.

You can split it, or you can take another card.

Do you want to split it?

Okay, Miriam.

I want you to show him.

Her heart is racing all the time.

I've got it too.

Her muscles are, like, spasming,

almost thickening.

It's like--

like we're moving through water.

It's not just some ranch fever, is it, Captain?

Preston's voice: No, this wasn't Q fever.

This was profound change, not natural,

no more natural than the goat man

or "monsters on the loose."

( gasping )

Woman: It's time to wake up, darling.

Wake up and look alive.

Come on now.

( gasps )

Drop it.

I need the map, two days' water and rations.

Request denied.

Preston: Give me that map.

I'm going back to Twentynine Palms.

They'll help me find--

Twentynine Palms is a Marine base, Captain.

You have no authority there.

McBride, Sara, Captain, U.S. Air Force,

Sierra Bravo 3-6-2-niner-niner.

Same rank, Captain.

You want to compare scare badges, McBride?

I've had my face in the mud in four continents.

I outrank you, Captain.

You're not in charge of me, Captain.

We aren't even from the same branch.

You're a mud slug.

Air jail.

I am Air Force,

and we don't take this kind of crap.

Okay, Captain, I'll tell you what.

I take everything on the ground.

You're in charge of everything that flies.

- Deal? - Very funny, Preston.

We have clear orders. Dig in, Captain.

No. You dig in.

That's it.

We're creating a post, Captain,

not searching for one.

That's an order.

- Stop giving me orders. - You're not going anywhere.

Get out of my way, Preston.

Look, you've been in the desert for too long.

Don't push me.

Oh, what are you gonna do, Captain? Pull my hair?

Ow!

We may be the same rank,

but I'm still in charge.

Why? Because you're bigger than me?

If that's all you can respect,

yeah, I'm bigger than you.

You think I don't know, don't you,

that you're losing it?!

You really think that you could lead a unit

with only half your memory?

It's still survival of the fittest

out here, McBride.

Preston's voice: Where she was headed,

it might have been more kind to shoot her.

( neighs )

Jasper: This is amazing.

You've got enough ammo here

to supply an army.

Lucky: Well, we are the Army, son.

Yeah, right.

So, what--

what you looking for?

Developing fluid,

which I'm not going to find.

Here. Put this with my pack.

- What the hell is this for? - Well, if worse comes to worst,

I'll find some fluid buried

in one of the hazardous waste dumps.

You know, I may have to do

a little bit of mining. Boom!

( both laugh )

You know, it's messy, but it's effective.

'Course, I'm hoping there's some AV gas left

in that jet reserve.

Then I can make some of my own.

You know where that is, right?

Chopper?

- Huh? - Right?

Yeah. Okay.

You--

You got a lot of these?

We got enough.

Where you guys going?

Home. We're going home.

This is your home.

You're a good man, Captain Preston,

better than most of us deserve,

but you can't control what's happening to us.

We're going to head to the Blue Mountains while we still can.

Maybe there's a bridge back home.

Maybe we can be healed.

We don't want to die here.

You're not going to die.

Can you promise us that?

Please let us go before we die,

or you're going to have to kill us.

( softly ) Please.

Thank you, Captain, for everything.

( sobbing )

Thank you.

Come on, honey.

Preston's voice: Many will come. Many will go.

I just didn't think

I'd lose three in a matter of hours.

The thing about being a leader

was sometimes you had to swallow your pride,

and McBride was quite a mouthful,

but I needed her.

And even though she didn't know it yet,

she needed me.

Captain Preston told you to stay with me.

Listen, sweetheart, I got to try

and scavenge for fuel and equipment

to process these pictures, okay?

And then we're going to know.

Then we'll know everything.

It's for your future, baby.

I got to go.

Oh, Lucky, don't go.

Don't, please.

If you go...

I might not be here when you get back.

Come on, baby. You don't mean that.

It's just I got to go, babe,

but I'll be back, okay?

It's for your future, baby.

Come on, just say it for me, all right?

Who loves you? Who loves you?

Daddy loves you.

Come on, who loves you?

Come on, say it.

You.

( motor rumbles )

The quake opened up the Colorado.

The Salton Sea rushed in.

Most likely, the Grand Canyon's full.

We're cut off from the mainland

by a new eastern sea, toxic--

Shut up!

Lucky and I found this on our first patrol

when you were recovering from your injuries.

And you didn't tell me?

Why? Why?

Because your father was stationed there.

( sobbing )

I'm sorry about your father.

McBride,

your relentlessness...

bullheadedness...

single-mindedness...

pain-in-the-assness...

it's a great part of what fuels this engine.

And what's the engine's function?

Survival.

That's not enough.

I got a medal.

I got busted.

Then I got to the desert.

That's about as far back

as I can remember.

Things come back to me,

like riding the horse, but--

I know horses.

I just don't know why.

My last memory before the quake

is stopping to help this--

this broken-down bus,

a church bus full of kids.

Watch your leg.

( kids chattering )

- ( grunts ) - Whoa.

- One. - I wish I could do that.

- Go for this one. - Hey, come on, y'all,

give the man some room, huh?

- Hey. - Aw, man.

So you're a brave woman.

I'd rather fight a war

than battle a busload of kids.

( laughs ) Let's just say I was...

compelled.

Yeah. Me too.

Preston's voice: Her name was Rainbow Jones.

( chuckles ) Rainbow?

Preston's voice: Most of these kids

had never been out of the inner city.

After I finished changing the tire,

we sat down and had a picnic.

Hey, it's yours.

I wasn't in a hurry.

I'd made up my mind to quit.

If the army didn't see my worth,

screw 'em.

Great. Good.

That's when I met Tamara.

She smelled like bottled sunshine.

Do you save people?

When I can.

Do you kill people?

Preston's voice: How do you explain right and wrong

in a black-and-white world to an eight-year-old?

How do you explain being a soldier?

See, I protect the country.

That's my job.

Will you protect me?

Especially you.

Promise?

Preston's voice: And I realized in that moment

what I was fighting for

and that I couldn't walk away.

- It's for me? - ♪ Jesus loves the little children... ♪

Thanks.

♪ All the children of the world ♪

♪ Red, yellow, black, or white ♪

♪ You are precious ♪

♪ In His sight. ♪

Whoo!

- Hallelujah! - Hallelujah!

Red, yellow, black, or white.

you are precious in His sight.

All right, no crowding.

Be quiet when you get on the bus.

Hey, soldier, I need that.

- Bye, - Rainbow: Stop pushing.

- Bye. - Bye.

( child laughs )

That's for you.

Thanks.

( laughs ) Careful.

She'll have your watch before she's through.

- ( laughs ) - You ever feel like...

like you just got to do that thing inside you?

I mean, even though

you only know a little of what it is?

I only know what's in front of me.

A change...

is coming.

Be ready.

I'll be ready.

Do you promise?

Preston's voice: And the last thing I saw

was Tamara hanging out the window,

waving, feeling safe

because I made a promise.

Okay.

You bastard.

Just when I had you

written off as a hard-ass,

you tell me about a bus full of kids

and their psychic soul mother.

Why?

Because we're all they've got.

You're all I've got.

We're it.

And you think together,

we can save the world?

Maybe our little piece of it.

Well, I help you keep your promise

if you help me keep mine.

Big Mike, your pilot?

My brother.

♪ Baby ♪

♪ Sugar City ♪

♪ Sugar City tonight. ♪

We used to run out after it happened,

run out, see if they were still there,

the stars.

I just want to see beauty again.

Well, all you got to do

is look in the mirror, baby.

Lights! Lights!

Light-- stop the car. Stop the car. It's people.

These people you do not want to meet.

( horn honking )

What are we running from?

- Jasper: Damn. Damn. - ( engine knocks )

What aren't you telling me?

- ( engine bangs ) - ( laughter )

- Man: Oh, yeah. - No. No, no, no.

Stay in the car, all right.

- Listen, Candy... - Man: It's party time!

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Just promise me, don't move, okay?

Don't leave the car. Okay?

Baby, it's on! Yeah!

- Oh, yeah. - Here we go.

Get the girl.

Where were you going, Jasper?

Didn't you have a job to do?

Yeah, I did it. I was coming to you.

Get over here.

Do you know these people?

Hey. It looks more like a camping trip

than a supply run. What happened, Jasper?

You fall in love?

Well, I can see why.

( whimpers ) Oh-hh!

Mamacita.

Hey.

I hope it was worth it, amigo.

- ( Jasper grunts ) - ( bangs )

McBride.

( birds squawking )

Think we should take a chance?

Not if it's like the last time.

Those roadkill sandwiches of Cooky's,

they nearly put me over.

But if it's a fresh kill,

we could be heroes.

( bird squawks )

Candy.

( flies buzzing )

( gasping )

Why the sign?

Nanwong.

The prison?

Yeah.

They survived...

and they're sending us a big message.

Three soldiers.

( laughs ) Three soldiers.

That is the sum total of that military installation.

Amigos, you have nothing to fear.

The earthquake has been the great equalizer.

( laughs )

Well, maybe we can't kill them with chemicals,

but we can do it the old-fashioned way,

because once you control the water,

you control everything.

I--

Shut up!

Hey!

Hey.

- ( yelling ) - Here we go! Here we...

I don't know how much longer we can control them.

They're fighting over their own urine.

They're not thirsty for water, you idiot.

They're thirsty for this!

Now put it back on the air.

( all yelling )

Get back! Get back! Break it up!

I said put me back on air now.

( prisoners yelling )

Good.

I'm glad you're happy.

( all yelling )

Jesus: Amigos, are you with me?

Are you with me?

Good. Good.

It's either develop the film or...

blow up the compound.

Hey, ain't nobody blowing up anything around here except me.

I feel like God

getting ready to see my new world.

Why don't we just look for Candy?

Lucky, where's Candy?

She's run off. That was pretty much

what I expect from her too.

It's good riddance, far as I'm concerned.

What really ticks me off is losing that truck.

Hey, I'm going to kill that Jasper

if he shows his sorry ass around here.

Jasper's dead.

And we found this.

What did you see?

Lucky: Severe earthquake damage, but still functioning.

McBride: They're organized

just like a military operation,

and they're armed.

- What's missing? - Chicks.

No Asian guards.

That's right. The inmates are running the asylum.

Sergeant, you got our diversion ready?

( laughs ) I got more than that.

I got enough to blow every eardrum

from here to the Blue Mountains.

Give me till 1500 hours.

If I'm not back by then...

- ( beeping ) - Now it's armed.

20 seconds. Then she blows.

I'm going to run the ambulance

right through the front gate into the exercise yard,

make my special delivery.

It's going to be simple,

just like delivering newspapers.

'Course, Pope here's got me covered

with his bow and arrow,

so I got nothing to worry about.

All right, 1500. Clear?

Clear.

McBride, watch my back.

So you going to be okay with this?

McBride: Yeah. Yeah.

- Want me to hold this? - Uh...

You got a problem?

Better tell me now.

( sighs )

( sighs )

I never saw combat.

You flew the Euro-Asian conflict.

Ash and trash, the woman thing.

You never engaged?

No, sir.

Great.

Never killed anybody?

No, sir.

( sighs ) Great.

Ever...

run anything over in your car?

Yeah, once on a road outside Palm Springs,

a squirrel.

Good. Same feeling, horrible,

but you get over it pretty quick.

These guys are the rodents.

You're the 18-wheeler.

Lucky: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Captain.

And what are you going to do,

just stroll up and ring the bell?

- Look at this. - Huh?

Well...

are you ladies just going to stand there?

Get over there.

Turn around.

Keep moving. Let's go.

Get up there.

We've been expecting you.

I got your note.

Captain Nick Preston, U.S. Army.

This is quite the operation

you got going for yourself.

( laughs )

Oh, yes, Captain Preston.

We do.

We hear you have an operation of your own.

Sorry. We haven't been introduced.

Oh.

Simon Peace, geologist.

I'm the one that predicted the earthquake.

You're probably one of the ones who laughed.

I knew that there was one spot

on the western seaboard that could survive a 9.5,

and we are standing on it-- the plate.

( laughs )

The Mississippi is running backwards now.

Tell him about the mountains,

why they flash.

Electrical discharges,

phenomenon that comes from shifting plates,

like friction, energy.

You know, some people claim

that it gives them a psychic ability.

Others believe that they're the bridge home.

And nobody really knows the way,

except your sleeping pilot.

( laughs )

You have him?

He's our guide, Preston.

When he wakes up from his coma,

he's going to lead us out.

With the help of my friend Simon,

our navigator here.

Does that make you God?

Yes.

All right, that's it. I'm going in.

Hey, those weren't our orders, McBride.

He's way outnumbered in there.

There's no way that he could contain

all those men. I'm going in.

The guy knows what he's doing.

He's a Ranger, combat infantry, airborne.

Guy's been to hell and back more than once, believe me.

Not this kind of hell.

Preston could be dead right now,

which puts me in charge.

Now you take my orders.

What, that's what you've been angling for

the whole time, isn't it, McBride, huh?

Be in command?

I'm going to try and save our commander,

so you just back off, Sergeant,

and let me do my job.

Hey.

Not like that, you're not.

All right, send in Big Sally on schedule

unless you get a sign from me, a signal flare.

That calls the whole thing off.

- Do you understand? - Yeah.

All right. Hey!

McBride...

just make sure you're not the flare.

( kick thumps )

So let's make a deal.

You have something I want.

I have something you want.

And what would that be?

Drinking water,

in exchange for the pilot, Mike McBride,

and Candy, the woman from my camp.

( Jesus chuckles )

Oh, Captain,

we don't use water for drinking.

It's for irrigation.

You grow crops here?

No, no, no, Captain,

our fields of dreams, so to speak.

Heroin. Why?

Simon: The genetic warfare control group,

sometimes there were mishaps.

These men are in great pain, Captain,

and that's because of people like you, ¿comprende?

Now, Captain,

you wouldn't want to see what they would do to you

if they didn't have their juice, hmm?

I mean, Jasper was one of them, eh?

And look how they dealt with him. Ugh.

This isn't about pain. It's about control.

( panting )

- ( metal clinks ) - ( gasps )

What is this?

( grunts )

( yells )

Preston: I don't have time

for the garden tour, Jehovah.

Where's Candy and the pilot?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

The last man who talked to me like that

was the warden of this facility,

and he's buried in my garden.

Rules have changed, Captain.

You're not in charge anymore in here.

But in about seven minutes,

I will be.

Hmm. Let's do it five, eh?

Put him in the hot seat.

Well, this could be our best show ever. Simon.

Bring in our other guest.

( monitor beeping )

( men groaning )

( coughs )

( man coughing )

( coughs ) Please.

Please help me.

Help me.

( coughs )

What's happened here?

( winces ) We--

We are the accidents,

the reversals.

Everyone in this building

is in pain.

This is the reason for the fields.

What fields?

They would give us medication

from the fields

twice a day.

It would stop the pain.

Tell me, do you know about a pilot?

No.

I don't know about it.

So many people come.

So few survive.

I don't know.

( gasps ) Captain Preston.

- Shut up. - ( yells )

( laughs )

Amigos, I have a special treat for you

this afternoon.

First, I'll induct my new queen,

and then I'll execute our enemy.

Prisoners: Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Rather arch, but great television.

- ( monitor beeping ) - ( gasping )

What can I do to help?

Kill me.

Help me.

The pain. Please.

Help.

This pain is inhuman.

Please.

Please.

- Please. - Please.

- It hurts. - ( man groaning )

Yes.

It hurts.

Please.

( coughs ) Help me.

Okay, I'll give you

one last chance to make a deal.

God bless you.

( gasps )

Preston.

( automatic gunfire rattles )

Let him go.

I said let him go!

Captain, please.

Go ahead. Kill her.

I'll do it. I'll kill her.

Captain.

It's the pilot I need, not her.

That way, I get to kill both of you.

- Hey. - All right, that's enough.

( groans )

Hey.

They move, shoot 'em.

I'd rather shoot you.

I knew once he started messing with your hair,

you'd take care of business.

Going after Big Mike.

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

Hey. Hey, baby.

Hey, great--

Back off, Consuela.

Okay, okay. Okay. Relax.

Hey.

Hey.

( laughs )

Wake up. Wake up.

Wake up, little brother.

Come on, McBride. Send me a sign.

Man: You two, check the main gear shaft.

- ( overlapping chatter ) - ( hissing )

Anybody checking down below?

- It's so dark. - Too dark in here.

We need a man outside covering the door.

( door creaks )

( door creaks )

Check the steam room.

Has anybody checked

the back side of the building?

I'll do it.

( indistinct chatter )

Who got the steam room?

You two, check around back of the steam room.

Right.

Make sure to keep an eye out--

Yeah, yeah.

He's got to be around here. Look.

I'm over here. I got it.

Who's got the stairwells?

That's me.

Nothing in the stairwells.

- She's dead. - She's not.

She is.

Tamara: No, she's just sleeping.

She wouldn't wake up, so they came and took us.

Okay, kids. We got to get out of here.

Okay, hurry up.

Come on. Follow me quickly. Come on.

Oh, what am I doing here?

Following orders.

That's right, to send in Big Sally.

You got to do it.

Shh.

This is a waste of time.

Shut up. Keep looking.

Thank you so much.

Easy, Candy. Easy. Easy.

( overlapping chatter )

Hey, why did you guys leave without me?

I wasn't hurt that bad.

That was Pope.

Wait a minute. There was an order.

Yeah, I think Pope said that there was no sense

in getting ourselves killed

over some dead meat, so to speak.

Wait a minute, Captain Preston.

I just thought that, well,

we only had a couple seconds left.

What was I supposed to do?

You did good, Private.

Private? Really?

Whoo-hoo!

'Course, I'll be in charge of training camp

and Hell Week, so forth.

Preston's voice: So things aren't

like they used to be before the Big One,

but we found a place-- ours.

We made contact between us.

In the best of times, it's what we cherish.

- Ain't that right, Preston? - In the worst,

it's all we hang on to.

Hey, y'all, where's the kitchen at?

Think it's time to break a little bread, huh,

give a little thanks, huh?

- Amen. - Hallelujah.

- Whoo! - And she cooks too!

Having only part of my memory

has actually helped this process.

I hunt around in my mind

the same way Lucky scavenges his yard.

Sometimes it's useful,

sometimes it's just junk,

but one thing for sure,

I'm going to piece myself

back together again bit by bit.

I'm going to lead them out of here.

I have to.

I made a promise.

And a ravaged land scavenging from the past

to create the future needs somebody...

just like me.

( instrumental music playing )
