(lively jazz music)

- [Narrator] Hello there, boys and girls.

Recently you may have noticed some changes in your bodies.

But don't worry, these changes are perfectly normal.

What's happening to you is called puberty.

It's the process of changing from a child into an adult.

- Deaths have been reported in cities around the world.

Back to you- (static crackles)

- This ain't from nature, people.

This is a man-made biological weapon.

- The scale of which we have never seen

and every adult is at risk.

(nurse coughs) (girl screams)

- It appears the disease has no effect

on prepubescent children.

However, when infected children reach puberty,

the effects of the disease will be fatal.

- [Narrator] It may seem strange, uncomfortable,

even unpleasant at times,

but it happens to each and every one of us.

- Let us pray for our children,

for soon we will be gone

and they will have to suffer this plague alone.

(ominous music)

(boy imitates car zooming)

- [Boy] We're not gonna make it!

Yes we are! Hooah!

(brush rustles)

(foreboding music)

(twig cracks)

- [Girl] Cute backpack.

Bring it here.

- Come and get it.

- Ah, ah. I got this.

Look, buddy, there's two ways this can go down.

The easy way, or...

What am I saying?

Nothing is world is fucking easy!

(pensive music)

- He cut you?

- [Girl] I'm solid.

- Tell me he's got water.

I'd kill for something with bubbles.

Shit, man.

(girl laughs)

What's with you?

(girl laughs)

Think it's funny?

Starving to death in the fucking woods?

- Shh!

(woman singing in distance)

Listen.

(wind howling) (music playing faintly)

You hear that?

(melancholy rock and roll)

- Where are we?

This place ain't on the map.

We should skip it. We gotta find that genius.

- Wait.

They've got water.

But they're packing heat.

Heavy.

- Water?

They got a whole ocean!

♪ You never want to hurt the one who loves you ♪

(foreboding music)

So.

What's our move here?

- It's my move.

(fabric rips)

You're staying on recon.

- (sighs) Boring!

- Lay low and suss out the area.

This is just a pit stop.

- Wait. You're leaving me here?

Alone?

In Blue Meanie territory?

(ominous music)

I heard they found geezers around here.

Wrapped in blue plastic.

Throats cut open.

Like pigs.

(voice chitters)

- Don't be a pussy.

I'll back with a tasty treat just for you.

Don't lose that.

(chuckles) Scared of a ghost story.

- I ain't scared!

It ain't no story.

- Mm-hmm.

(eerie music)

(girl merrily humming off-key)

- Halt!

Who's there?

- Water!

Please.

Meet me in three. By the jazz swingers.

- Jazz swingers?

(chains rattle)

(foreboding music)

Thank you.

It's been rough out there.

I'm headed north. Town called Derby.

Heard of it?

They say there's like some kid genius

who made a vaccine or something.

It's probably just a rumor, but I'm still gonna go look...

- Are you alone?

You sure?

I hate surprises.

- Yes.

- (laughs) I'm just playing.

I love surprises. You're coming from the city, right?

I heard kids over there be going, like, crazy,

like full-on Mad Max and whatnot.

My mom was from there. Where are you from?

- I'm from- - Oh!

Guess what I'm working on?

Bet you money you can't guess.

Not that money matters anymore.

I'm sorry, I just get really excited when I meet new people.

Oh, speaking of surprises, I need to show you something.

My project, Al-Shifa.

You're gonna bug out. It's literally gonna change the world.

Can you walk on that?

- Sorta.

- Great. Here, let me get that for you.

- Hands up and don't move.

All of your shit? It's mine now.

So be a doll and gather it up for me

and I'll be on my merry way.

- Whose blood is that?

- The last fucker who didn't do as they were told.

Hold still!

One more step and I toast you.

I'm for real, this aint a game.

(ominous music)

- Sure it is.

- Kids these days.

(toy gunfire blares)

(girl groans)

- (laughs) Wow!

You were really gonna ice me just like that.

You cold-blooded.

(ominous music)

Tell you what.

Apologize and maybe I'll still show you my project.

- Back the fuck off!

Hey, Bui!

- Okay, you know what?

Now you're starting to piss me off.

- Ow!

Ow! Ow!

Ow!

(tense music)

(muffled voices echo) (hospital monitor beeping)

(foreboding music)

Please.

No. No more shots.

No!

Stop!

Don't! I'm not sick anymore!

Get off of me!

Stop! Stop!

Stop! Ow!

- Idiot!

Hold still!

- Kid.

Kid!

- My name is Kuan.

And I bet we're, like, the same age.

Okay.

This is going to hurt, but you're a dingus.

And you sorta deserve it.

- Ow!

- (sighs) I ain't scared.

(melancholy country music)

♪ Oh, I wish I had someone to love me ♪

♪ Someone to call me their own ♪

♪ Oh, I wish I had someone to live with ♪

- What is this?

- [Kuan] Dinner.

- This smells like actual garbage.

Wait! Sorry.

♪ Oh, please meet me tonight in the moonlight ♪

♪ Please meet me tonight all alone ♪

- Aw, jackpot.

These are mine, girl.

- Ines.

- What?

- Ines. That's my name, it's French.

It's clear tonight.

- Dormir a la belle etoile.

That's French for "to sleep under-"

- Je sais. Tu parles francais?

- Oh. Uh, no.

Not really. My mom taught me.

She knew, like, 20 languages.

Wanted to learn 'em all. Even at the very end.

You should've seen her in her hospital bed

with like all of her phrasebooks stacked up around her.

Counting to 10 in Indonesian.

Satu.

Dua.

Tiga.

(Kuan counting in Indonesian)

(muted chatter echoing) (pensive music)

- Kuan, why are you helping me?

- The way I see it is that we're helping each other.

My project, it's...

It's like a football game.

I need a team. I can't do it alone.

Unless I threw the ball really high to myself.

Or made little cardboard team cutout people and-

- What project?

- You ever heard of Al-Shifa?

It's this ancient Persian book. It means "The Healing."

Now, I'm not religious, really,

but they say that if you can recite

all of Al-Shifa to a sick man,

he will be cured (snaps fingers) like that.

So that's what I'm building.

That's my project. Hold this.

- You're making a cure?

- Yep.

- I knew it!

You're the kid genius! You're the one I've been looking for!

(Kuan laughs)

- You can't cure the virus.

That's literally impossible.

My cure is for something else.

- Wait, then you're not- - Watch this.

(laughs) I am a golden god...

Or not. (kick clangs)

Dang it.

- Wait, so what are you curing then?

- Well, it's like...

Did you believe in Santa Claus when you were younger?

- Of course.

- Right, so when you're a kid,

you believe in the impossible.

But then you grow up

and the world teaches you that it's not true.

You stop believing.

But what if the world is wrong?

- The fuck are you talking about?

Have you see the world today?

The twisted shit these kids are doing to each other?

It's a sickness! We're all sick, inside and out.

I'm sorry, but you're weird and I'm confused

and this all just seems like a huge waste of time!

Which, if you hadn't noticed,

that is in short supply these days!

And I want...

I, I...

- What do you want?

- I...

I...

Bui, don't!

(Kuan grunts)

- [Kuan] Big mistake!

You guys are dead!

(Bui panting)

- She hurt you?

(foreboding music)

- We gotta take her out.

(metal creaking)

(carnival music blaring)

(demonic voice cackling)

What the fuck?

(ominous music)

(bat clangs)

(Bui screams)

Bui!

Shit!

(Ines grunts)

(ominous music)

- Faster.

You know, I had a, like, perfect plan

before you and your butthole friend came

and mucked everything up.

Now I'm not so sure.

I mean, maybe you're right.

Maybe I got this world all wrong.

I mean, shit, we're gonna die anyway, right?

Why waste time?

Why not kill each other?

Move.

What do you see?

- A moldy old slide.

(honks) Wrong.

You're only what's right in front of you.

You have an imagination, don't you, dummy?

So use it.

See what this place could be.

What we could share with everyone that's left.

Look.

(pensive music)

(Ines screams)

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

(Kuan laughing)

(Ines screams)

No!

(girls laughing and screaming)

(Ines coughs)

(girls laugh)

Can we do that again?

- [Kuan] Yeah!

(girls laugh)

(foreboding music)

(metal clinking)

(Meanie growls)

(Meanie growling)

(lively jazz music)

- [Narrator] As we go through puberty,

we start to notice changes in our bodies.

Our voices start to sound different.

See, there's an organ in your throat

called the larynx, or voice box.

During puberty your larynx grows thicker and larger.

Boys will notice their voice becoming deeper.

Girls will too, but only a little.

So buckle up because puberty is taking you

on the bumpy road to adulthood.

(knife slashes)

(kid groans)

(Ines panting)

- [Jack] Relax, Scarface.

The first kill is always the hardest.

It'll get much easier with a little more practice.

And cheer up. You're this week's champion!

(Ines gasping)

You just made my new squad.

Here's your uniform.

(Ines gasping)

Scarface, don't go crybaby on me now.

You wanna be part of my squad, you better man up.

(Ines gasping) (tense music)

(pensive music)

- [Ines] Hey! Get over here!

Hurry up! Faster!

(girls chatting and laughing)

- Fucking bitch.

- Where did you learn to do that?

You're a freaking fish ninja.

- YouTube.

- You see what I'm seeing, right?

- Hell yes.

A little salt, some chili oil, and we got us a tasty...

- Hands off Carpe Diem!

Have a little vision. This is only the beginning.

We get your gigantic friend to help us,

we stock this place full of specimens,

make sure the rides and slides

are spic and span and up and running, and boom!

We are the proud owners

of the best theme park slash aquatic entertainment center

in the world.

- Best and only.

Huh! Fuck me.

So why carry a fake gun when you got the real thing?

- Never let the enemy know the true power of your forces.

Art of War.

Sunny Zoo wrote that.

- It's Sun Tzu, not Sunny Zoo.

And he never said that.

- It was Tom Cruise then.

Say, what do you think happened to the zoos?

Do you think all the animals ate each other?

Or did some of them escape and start toasting people?

What would you rather fight? A lion or a Blue Meanie?

- A Blue Meanie. 'Cause they aren't real.

- They are too real.

We're on the same team now, right?

And you're going to put your genius hunt on hold

and help me with Al-Shifa.

Don't lie!

I can see if you're lying.

- Bullshit you can.

(foreboding music)

- (gasps) Wait!

(knife thuds)

Wow.

You just, like, saved my life.

- This guy's not poisonous.

(pensive music)

- [Kuan] Are too real!

- Dude!

The Blue Meanies were made up by some kingpin

to freak his squad out and keep 'em in line.

Trust me, it's what I do.

Only I'd come up with a better name.

- You ain't got no squad.

- I used to.

- [Kuan] What happened to 'em?

- What do you think? They were two grades ahead.

They went geezer a while back.

Bui and I are all that's left.

- Oh. I'm sorry.

- Don't be. No one's gonna miss those pricks.

- I wish I had a squad. All I got is stupid Luka.

- Who? - Luka, my brother.

He's a real pain in my ass.

I mean, he was supposed to re-up on water from the river.

I'm sure he's out there somewhere just, like,

playing with little cars or something.

I mean, this kid...

(snaps fingers) Earth to Ines!

- Sorry. What was...

- I said did you happen to see Luka on your way in?

- Sorry.

(haunting music)

(metallic drumming clanging)

(suspenseful music)

- What a little fuckin' pussy.

- Easy, tiger.

- Took you long enough.

- If you played nice with her for like two seconds,

she'd let you go.

- When do we play nice?

Don't get it, man.

Shit here's all backwards.

(Kuan merrily singing off-key)

Shit! - Chill!

She won't see us.

- Ugh.

She's crazy and tone-deaf.

Yo, we're wasting time here.

We gotta get moving and find that genius already.

You wanna go full geezer in this shithole or what?

- So just lie to her. Say you're sorry.

- I ain't like you.

I ain't a liar.

- You're a pain in my ass is what you are.

- Wait.

- I got the wrong key.

- Since day one I've done like you've always said.

I might not be clever like you,

but I can see what's in front of my face.

And I'm telling you, that girl,

she ain't us.

- Bui.

Let me go!

(pensive music)

(Jack groans)

- She fucking stabbed me!

What are you all standing around for? Do something!

One of you get her!

I'm your goddamn leader!

Oh shit.

Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit!

(Jack groans)

- The king is dead. Long live the motherfucking queen!

From now on you do what I say, when I say it,

or you get toasted.

We crystal on that?

Lovely.

First things first: no more of this.

We shouldn't be fighting each other.

This aint' fuckin' "Hunger Games."

We stick together and we keep the system nice and binary.

There are two kinds of people.

There's us and there's them.

And if you ain't us, well, then tough titty.

What do you say?

Bui?

Us?

Or them?

(ominous music)

(Jack groans)

Wait! I...

I give up!

You win! Stop, please!

(sinister music)

(wind howling)

This is your last chance.

Concentrate.

Make it count.

Ho-ho-ho!

C'est dommage.

So close.

Hey! You only get three tries!

(cans rattle)

You know, cheaters only cheat themselves.

Silly girl.

(melancholy rock and roll music)

(alarm beeps)

Aw, snap. It's chow time.

Hey, wanna know what I'm writing about?

- [Ines] Not really.

- Ah!

Oh, dios mio!

This is the tastiest thing that I've ever ate

in my entire life.

This is magic. This...

This is...

This is Carpe Diem.

I loved that fish.

- (laughs) And it's not your fish.

It's Severus Snake.

- Not cool!

What the heck kind of name is Severus Snake anyway?

That's like not even...

Oh, wait.

No, I get it. (laughs)

That's actually pretty funny. That's pretty funny.

(birds caw)

Ines, how come you know so many words?

- I read a lot. Like your mom.

- [Kuan] You were sick too?

- Mm-hmm.

- So tell me about it.

- Uh, I don't now.

I spent a lot of time in the hospital.

There was no one to talk to. I was bored as shit.

- [Kuan] Where were your parents?

- [Ines] I never met them.

So I read.

A lot.

My favorites were the stories with disasters and monsters

where everyone dies at the end.

I started imagining what I'd do if that ever happened to me.

And then I started, like, researching what to do.

(visitors laugh)

And the more I read,

the more I started to believe it was all real.

And it sounds nuts,

but it was almost like I was waiting

for the end of the world.

So that when it finally came, I was ready.

Although I was hoping there would be some zombies.

- There's Blue Meanies. - Shut up and pull it.

(transformer whirs)

- Aw, man, that's it? It looks terrible!

I spend like so long working on... (gasps)

You did it!

(Kuan giggles)

Be right back.

- So. What do you think?

Is Luka gonna be okay?

- What are you talking about?

- Don't play stupid with me.

- [Ines] Just keeping it on your level.

- Why you always ragging on me? Huh?

Like, why you gotta be so nice to her

and such a dickhole to me?

Is it 'cause I know the real you

and not this fake-ass character you're playing?

Is that it?

It's like, what if she knew you toasted her little friend?

Would you still be all BFF then? Huh?

- For two years I've kept your dead-weight bitch-ass alive!

Remind me why I bother.

- I wasn't gonna tell her nothing! I swear!

Ines! Ines, wait!

Shit!

(pensive music)

(fireworks pop)

(sinister music)

- He's gone. Isn't he?

- Kuan, I gotta tell you something-

- You know, every time this happens, it gets...

Easier to say goodbye and...

(thunder claps)

(water splashes)

Just like that, you start to forget.

I don't want to be forgotten.

I don't want this place to just disappear.

I want us, all of us,

to build it, together.

To remind everyone that's left what this world could be.

What it should be.

(thunder rumbles)

(rain pattering)

And I believe in that.

In this place. It can save us.

I'm not crazy for thinking that, am I?

- Oh, you're definitely crazy.

But you're right about this place.

It's...

It's really special.

(soft music)

What?

- You have, like, some paint on your face.

- Ow! Be gentle.

(thunder rumbling)

(wistful music)

(thunder claps) (foreboding music)

- Ines!

It's time for us to go. Right now.

- Bui- - Me or her!

Who's it gonna be?

- Big guy, you need to take a chill pill.

- Move.

- [Ines] Bui, no!

- [Bui] Oh, you're dead!

- Guys! Stop!

(Bui shouts)

Ow! (yelps)

- You okay?

(Ines whimpers)

- [Ines] Ow!

- This was Luka's.

You!

No.

It was you.

Yeah. Of course it was.

- Kuan, please. I didn't know.

- Should've seen it right away.

But I saw something in you.

You were different.

You were good!

I'm so fucking stupid!

Now you have 10 seconds to get out of here

before I'm back with a bullet for each of you.

You killers.

You fucks!

You don't belong here!

You'll never be cured.

And you'll die.

And you'll rot.

And you'll be forgotten. (choking)

- Kuan!

Kuan! (Kuan gasping)

Kuan!

Kuan!

No, Kuan!

(Kuan coughing)

No, Kuan!

Please!

(ominous music)

(Meanies growling)

- Shit!

Shit.

Come on, we gotta go! Come on!

(Meanies growling)

We gotta get those gats.

Where's that cabinet? Come on!

(Meanie grunts)

(Bui panting)

Bui.

Stop.

- Gotta keep... - Dammit, let me down!

(Bui panting)

- Ines, we gotta...

We gotta keep going.

- There's no we.

And there never was.

There's you and there's me.

So go. Keep off the trails and you can make it.

- Ines.

Fuck you.

(pensive music)

(gunshot cracks)

(Bui panting)

They're close.

Shit.

(pensive music)

Come on, you gotta eat something.

Shit.

- Put me down.

- Ines- - I need to see this!

- Okay!

Chill.

(flies buzzing)

- His throat.

Looks like it's smiling.

- Come on.

Creep.

(thunder rumbles)

(rain pattering)

Good news. 10 miles.

Derby's up the road.

If we hustle tomorrow we can find your genius.

- There's no genius.

No cure.

She was the only one who understood that.

And even still, she built all of that...

Al-Shifa.

What a useless thing to do.

(somber music)

I never got to say goodbye.

(pensive music)

- Leave it.

We need to keep on.

You want it? You want it?

I'm sick and tired of this crybaby routine.

It ain't you.

Snap out of it!

Ines!

Ines, for real!

You can barely swim!

(somber music)

- You can't swim at all!

You wanted me to choose!

I would've taken Kuan!

Not you!

- Think you're so fucking smart...

But you don't know dick about shit!

Family ain't something you choose.

- [Ines] Family?

- You can't stop me!

You and me? We're family!

You can't...

You can't...

And you can't change that, you stupid...

Stupid asshole!

- Bui!

Bui! Shit!

(pensive music)

(Ines groans)

No!

Wake up!

(Ines wails)

(Ines sobbing)

No!

(bullies laugh)

- What a little fuckin' pussy. (laughs)

(Bui sobs)

- Hey, kid.

Word of advice? Never let them see you cry.

See you around, kid.

No! No!

Fuck this!

Get up!

There's work to do and you're not finished yet!

I need you, Bui!

So if you know what's good for you,

you better take a fucking breath!

Right fucking now!

Please!

Oh my god!

(Bui gasping)

- Did you try to kiss me?

(Ines groans)

Ow.

(Ines laughs)

- Don't ever do that again.

- This is all I could find.

What's your move here?

- Our move.

We're done running. It's time to hunt.

You'll be the bait.

- Wait. Wait, what?

- Trust me.

This is gonna work.

Hey, freak!

Drop it or I open her up like a fucking Christmas present.

Let my friend go.

You okay?

- Solid.

- Blue Meanies my ass.

Look at you losers. You ain't nothin' scary.

You're just a couple of stupid...

Stupid kids.

(Meanies grunt)

- The hell are you doing?

- Let 'em go.

Trust me.

- We can't just leave them.

- Sure we can. They're smart.

They know what happens if they come at us again.

Come on.

(Ines coughs)

(Meanie croaks)

Bitch, are you deaf and dumb?

- Hehp ooh. Hehp ooh.

Hehp ooh.

- I don't speak fuckin' Meanie.

- Hehp ooh. - Hehp ooh?

You've gotta be kidding.

All this time...

You...

All this time, y'all were...

Y'all were, uh...

(Ines gulps)

- Ines? Ines, Ines, Ines!

Ines!

(Ines coughs)

Stay with me. Stay with me.

Look at me. Look at me.

Look at me.

(Ines squeals)

(Ines gasping)

- The more you know, the less you now.

Or is it the other way around?

The less you know, more- - Am I...

I mean, like...

Are we...

Are we dead?

- I don't feel dead.

But I have been here for, like, an eternity,

which is a lot of time to think about things.

- What kind of things?

- Ines things. Your whole deal.

Your purpose, why you exist, you know.

All the basic stuff.

- I've done terrible things.

Made so many mistakes.

I don't know what I'm doing.

Or if I ever did.

- What you should do is throw the friggin' plane.

(pensive music)

You may not see it yet, but you're on a path.

A road you've been walking down your whole life.

And it's bumpy and it's rough

and sometimes you get a little rock in your shoe

and then you get a blister

and then the blister just keeps bursting, it's the worst,

then you wonder, "Is this the wrong shoe for this?"

But you gotta keep walking the path

and leading the others down it with you.

'Cause that's what girls like you do.

Everything we do in this life,

the good, the bad,

the help and the hurt,

it all gets added up.

And in the end,

I'll bet top dollar that you'll have
