Original subtitles

The sinkholes appear with no warning.

It can be a chaos of this hour.

On the streets, on every major city, there is loading from the ground.

It seems like there's no warning.

There's just loading from the ground.

Creatures that emerge from the sinkholes may have been hominids for thousands of years.

We re-hinder the creatures, but don't stop them.

The sound of that, well, it's...

It's a high altitude.

It's difficult to see, but they extend every 8,000 feet.

This is Neverland, Colorado.

Most of our town is destroyed, but every mile of 8,000 feet is completely untouched.

The global lifeline appears to be 8,000 feet.

The majority of our urging survivors stay on Goldstack Elevation.

8,000 feet is the global lifeline.

If you can get to high ground, go there now.

THREE YEARS LATER

THE ROCKY MOUNTAINS COLORADO ELEVATION 7740 FEET

260 FEET BELOW THE LINE

LOST GULCH REFUGE POPULATION 193 - 8460 FEET

Just wanted to see other people and you said most of the monsters are sleeping again.

You're on oxygen every night.

What if your lungs seized up when you were running away?

Sorry, Dad.

I can't lose you.

I can't.

I need you to understand that.

This one's heavy.

Hold on.

You got it?

Yeah.

Hey, what happened this morning?

Went across the line to get a better view of the Red Rock Settlement.

Well, he's the only kid up here.

He's lonely.

He's alive.

Some of us need more than that, Will.

I mean, we may be safe up here, but this mountaintop is like a prison to him.

He didn't just go there to see Red Rock.

The line crosses Elm Fire Road near there.

It's the last place he saw his mother.

I get it.

You trust Nina.

But this is a suicide mission.

It's not your job to save the world.

Okay, buddy.

I'm here.

I'm here to take you.

All right.

Deep breaths.

Nice and easy.

Deep breaths.

Deep breaths.

Nice and easy.

There you go.

Nice and easy.

Oh, I love you, man.

It's Hunter's birthday.

You want my last box of mac and cheese?

I have these to trade.

It's not much, but...

It's a knife.

No way!

How'd you get this?

Come on!

You know I got connections, man.

Happy birthday.

Dad, why don't you use the radio anymore?

Oh, we have flags to signal to the other refuges if we need to.

But it's not the same as talking to them.

It's hard enough to make enough electricity for the things we absolutely need, like your machine.

Especially in the winter with the days being so short.

You're gonna leave, aren't you?

That was your last filter.

We need more.

You get sick again...

Then I won't get sick.

It doesn't work like that.

When?

I'm gonna be okay.

I got him from Charlie.

I'm pretty sure he's trying to sleep with me.

He's 80.

Well, after three years up here, I'm considering it.

Where's Hunter?

Sleeping.

It's Friday night, you know.

Is it?

If this was before, what would you be doing?

I'd probably be at the 19th hole with my father-in-law.

I never pictured you as the country club type.

I wasn't.

But Tara's family loved it.

I hated it.

And now I miss it.

We're out of filters, so I'm gonna have to give you a shot.

Hello, Nina.

How are you?

How's the drinking?

Keeps me from killing myself.

How's yours?

Keeps me from killing you.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

For Boulder.

That's probably the last thing I expected you to say.

I don't have a choice.

You'll die.

They can't be killed.

You believe that, you wouldn't still have this pirate flag on your wall.

I found a safe way there.

There is no safe way.

I know every map.

Every route.

Two days walk, impossible to stay above the line the whole time.

Hunter's machine.

The last filter burnt out.

The hospital in Boulder will have a crate of them.

But if I don't go, Hunter dies.

The place was probably looted.

No one had time to loot.

You're gonna have to go below the line at least a dozen times.

You can't survive a dozen encounters with those things.

You survived.

That was luck.

Luck is not a strategy.

Luck won't help you.

You're the only person who fought them and lived.

You've studied them for years.

That'll help me.

So what?

Do me a favor, Nina.

Let's go.

Let's die together.

Last year you thought you found a way to kill them if you could get back to your old lab.

That's why Tara went with you.

I have a way to Boulder.

It's mapped out.

We only go below the line twice.

Twice?

That's not possible.

It is.

Calloway Mine.

It goes through the mountain.

A mine?

A fucking mine, Will?

That's your plan?

That's a death trap by definition.

My company did a big job there.

I walked every inch.

I know those tunnels.

You don't know anything.

You're desperate.

Desperate people get killed.

8 a.m. Cathedral Point Overlook.

Who says I'm going?

Everything you've done up here since day one says that.

Shooting at that goddamn Reaper scale every night.

All you think about is killing one of these things, and you need something from down there to do it.

You owe me this much.

For Tara.

Will.

Boulder's 2,000 feet below the line.

Even if you make it there, they'll be there waiting for you.

It only takes one of them.

I know.

Max.

No problem.

I have to go tomorrow.

He's got four days, five at the most.

I'll stay here with him.

Change is zero to 200 yards, so I'll be able to engage him from further out.

Oh.

AP rounds.

These are from my own personal stash.

Slowing down a bit more than a Reaper 5.56. Good luck out there.

Thanks.

You planning on telling me?

Huh?

You're just gonna run off and get yourself killed without saying a word, like Tara.

I'm sorry, that was uncalled for.

Yeah, it was.

Hey, Tan?

Yep.

My gear?

Katie, what are you doing?

Going with you.

No, you're not.

Not asking permission, Will.

You can't go out there alone.

You need a partner to watch your back.

Right.

Nina's going with me.

Oh, I'm definitely going now.

The town needs you up here.

And I need to see what's down there.

Why?

What's the point?

We're rats on a sinking ship.

And we need to find a way off.

No, we don't.

We can survive up here forever.

Everyone except Hunter.

I don't want to live like this forever, Will.

And we both know Hunter doesn't either.

Well, it's not his decision to make.

Not at eight years old.

We're gonna have to fight them eventually, Will.

It might as well be today.

We don't need your help.

You don't need anyone's help, do you, Nina?

You ever see one coming for you?

Up close.

Not just a flickering light in the distance.

The way they tear people apart.

Bullets bounce off them like nothing.

Unless you hit them square in the face.

And even then, it just gives you a few seconds to run.

We're gonna die out there.

But you first.

I won't be gone long.

That's remote shit.

I'm coming back.

I promise.

We hit Alta Vista Ski Area.

We might even use the ski lift.

With what power?

With backup generators.

Which won't work after sitting idle for 992 days.

The batteries aren't dry and I'll get it running.

So what's in Boulder, Nina?

My own lab.

I thought you were a professor at Caltech.

Researcher.

Can't teach kids.

Too stupid.

Caltech students are too dumb for you?

So what's that make us, then?

Not Caltech students, Katie.

But you could be nice.

At least try.

What's wrong with not giving a shit?

How do we know there isn't one hibernating down there?

I'm not picking anything up.

I guess that's not a compass, is it?

No.

Did you find a way to track them?

Bioelectromagnetism.

They generate their own magnetic fields stronger than ours.

Stronger than any animal on Earth.

When they're within a half mile, the needle is drawn to them.

So it's two miles to the ski area?

One mile if we cut through the forest.

Nina, you're the expert.

Any idea why they don't go above 8,000 feet?

Mostly, I'm just hoping they don't change their minds.

Anything on that?

Nothing yet.

It's quiet for now.

Might be something we could use.

All right.

Still clear on the tracker.

Needle moves, you say so.

Got some ammo here.

A few flares.

Jackpot.

Huh?

You know how to use that?

It's designed for an 18-year-old just out of basic training.

I'm pretty sure I can figure it out.

No need.

So you've done this before?

I'm from Texas, Will.

I'm from Louisiana.

It doesn't mean my dad taught me how to use a grenade launcher.

Nina!

How's it going?

Nina, can we please go?

Will you two just shut up?

I'm looking at a Reaper scale.

If she wants to stay, just let her.

Just let her.

We don't need her anyway.

Actually, you do.

I'm like you.

I'm not dead weight.

Um, fuck you, Nina.

We both know who you're trying to fuck, Katie, and it's not me.

It's your best friend's husband.

You know what?

Who you got killed.

Do you remember that?

Shit!

Stop it!

Bitch!

Bitch!

I don't like you, Nina.

I never have.

I don't blame you, Katie.

Okay, fine.

Fine.

Where'd they all come from?

Three years without us.

Hold up, I need a minute.

Top of the mountain's 8,000 feet.

10, 15-minute hike.

We're safe.

Or I can try to get the chairlift working.

We're gonna have to be faster than that.

We're here.

Down there!

Run!

We'll never make it to the line!

We have to!

It's too far!

We have to try the left!

What if the battery's dead?

She's right!

Cover me!

Okay!

Shit.

Come on.

Come on, come on.

Shit.

Jump!

Come on, Kenny!

Go, go, go!

Jump!

Come on!

Shit!

Shit.

Y'all okay?

Oh.

18-year-old.

Single malt.

Those grenades did nothing.

To one more night alive.

It is different.

Seeing them up close.

We're not meant to share the planet with those things.

Maybe the Jesus reefs are right.

Maybe the Reapers are judgment for mankind's sins.

For eating God's apple, then clear-cutting the Garden of Eden with the knowledge it gave us.

I don't buy that.

So what do you buy?

They're Earth's new apex predators.

And more prey.

So how do we take our place back?

They came out of nowhere, all at once.

No one's had a chance to study them.

You study something long enough, you can figure out how to kill it.

If it doesn't kill you first.

A lot more of us are gonna die.

But one day we're gonna beat them.

Three years?

Day and night researching them?

Something had to stand out.

What they did when they first came out of the ground.

Which was?

Wipe out 95% of the world's population in a month.

They didn't stop to eat or sleep.

They just didn't stop.

I don't follow.

Predators kill to eat.

The Reapers kill to kill.

And they only killed us.

It's like all they wanted was just to get rid of us.

I don't follow.

I don't think there's some master play in Nina.

Simply what you say.

They're predators and we're prey.

I didn't say that.

Katie did.

So what are you saying?

Nothing.

It's just a question.

But I want an answer.

What if Nina's right?

What if she has found a way to kill those things?

I don't believe her.

Why not?

She wants it too badly.

What does that mean?

You know what I mean.

If anyone can figure it out, it's her.

She's a physicist.

Not with a messiah complex.

That's all physicists.

They make a living unlocking God's secrets.

I get it.

You trust her.

But this is a suicide mission.

It's not your job to save the world.

What is my job?

To stay alive.

You would have said something different when we first met.

That's before you almost died in childbirth.

And we had a one-pound infant clinging to life in the NICU.

This is for her.

No, it's not.

Not for Nina.

This is about her wanting to be the first person to kill a reaper.

And she'll die to do it.

She's not suicidal, Will.

She's after immortality.

Why can't you see that?

She doesn't have a family.

She's never had a family.

It's just a matter of time before he runs out of filters.

That's a year from now, at least.

And the reapers will still be down there.

So what's the difference?

Another year together.

That's the difference.

When we come out, it'll be close to dark.

We can't hit the city at night.

There's a ranger station on the other side.

We can stay there until daybreak.

What's the plan in there?

This is level 9.

The ladder will take us down to level 8.

We take 8 across the mountain, 2.2 miles.

We exit at 8,023 feet on the other side, 12 miles west of Boulder.

Anything below level 8 is under the line.

We exit at 8,023 feet?

That's right.

How exact is that?

Very.

How do you know these tunnels are perfectly straight?

That they don't blow up somewhere in the middle?

That would take us below the line.

Or did you not think about that?

Oh, you son of a bitch.

Easy.

We're going below the line, aren't we?

Well, for how long?

231 yards.

What?

Both ends of the tunnel are above 8,000 feet, so...

Nothing.

These tunnels are not hermetically sealed.

How do you know there aren't any fissures that lead to the lower levels of the mine?

You should have told us this before we left the refuge.

It's 231 yards.

And besides, your tracker will tell us if one of them is within a half a mile.

No, it won't.

It just did.

Above ground.

It's not going to work under a mile of rock.

It's 45 seconds.

Why are you so worried?

They come from underground, Will.

They're built for it.

We're not.

They can see in the dark.

They detect the smallest amount of CO2, which we exhale, and we're built up pretty fucking fast inside a fucking mine.

Fuck.

You swear a lot.

Fuck you, Katie.

It's good.

Let's go.

What's wrong?

Did you see my earlier comments about the tracker not working underneath a mountain?

No.

No.

No.

Don't.

Don't.

It's welded shut.

What now?

Climb down to level seven.

That's below the line, Will.

Yeah.

For how long?

About a thousand yards.

A thousand yards?

That's ten football fields.

I mean, how steep are these cliffs that we're trying to avoid?

They're impassable.

It's either we climb down or we go back.

And I'm not going back.

Either of you guys afraid of heights?

No, I'm afraid of monsters.

So what do we do when we get to the bottom?

We just start sprinting?

We can't sprint across.

We'll just exhaust ourselves and make too much noise.

Worse than that, we'll quadruple our CO2 output, which they can track from a mile away.

That's what that light is at the end of the tentacles.

They track us like giant mosquitoes.

Great.

So slow and steady.

Are we ready?

No.

Just need a minute to ponder my own death.

You're funnier than I realized.

Thanks.

You're smarter than I realized.

So where were you when they showed up?

Well, the night before the Reapers appeared, my boyfriend and I had gotten into an argument.

And he took a swing at me and broke my nose.

What?

What'd you do?

I hit him with a frying pan and stole his car and drove it to Netherlands.

That's fair.

Anyway, next morning I heard everything happening over the radio, so I just went straight up the fire road till the end and found the refuge.

Life's a bitch sometimes.

Yeah.

And then giant murder bugs hatch from the ground and it's amazing how quick nostalgia sets in.

You should be a motivational speaker.

Can we get down this ladder, please?

This way.

Hey.

Hey, hey, hey.

I think there's something back there.

I don't see anything.

I heard something.

Or maybe I'm just being crazy.

Wait.

Cover your light.

What?

Please do it.

Is that...?

Move!

No!

No!

Go, go, go, go!

Fence!

Go, go, go!

It's a dead end!

It's still trapped

after the CO2.

So what do we do?

Don't breathe.

There's a way out!

Go, go, go!

Go, go, go, go, go!

Arlene!

Go!

No!

No, no, no, no!

Come on!

Come on, come on!

Katie, wait for us!

Katie!

There's a net!

Katie!

Katie!

No!

She's gone.

She's gone.

Oh, my God.

They went right back into the tunnel we came through.

What was she thinking?

She's coming back.

What's that?

Oh, my God!

It's a ladder!

Oh, come on!

Do you still believe in God?

I'm stubborn.

What'd you ask for?

Revenge.

Looks okay.

Think it'll start?

If there's a fresh battery inside.

Tires are kind of ratty, but it'll do.

Good luck.

I must've made a thousand boxes of this stuff.

Every night, Tara would ask Hunter what did he want for dinner, and every night, mac and cheese.

It's the casein, the milk protein in cheese.

It's like an opioid.

It's addictive as morphine.

I really liked Tara.

So did I.

Seems like that was the last person you liked, Nina.

Katie grew on me.

Guess I got her a kill, too.

I should've never brought us in those mines.

Would've been easier scaling the mountain with no equipment.

You want to make her death matter?

Don't feel guilt.

Feel anger.

I don't feel anything anymore.

That's too bad.

Anger's a terrible thing to waste.

You would know.

So would you.

I don't hate you, Nina.

Yeah, you do.

I would.

What's in your old lab?

Periclase.

Cubic version of magnesium oxide.

Okay.

The reapers scales, they're impenetrable.

I think it's because they're electrically charged.

Defense mechanism, I think.

You think?

If I'm right, a projectile, a bullet bonded with periclase, it hits them.

And theoretically, it creates a momentary million-volt differential and boom, uncontrollable internal combustion.

A magic bullet.

That's what you've been working on all this time?

Literally a magic bullet.

It's not magic.

It's science.

It's a guess.

It's a hypothesis.

With a healthy dose of wishful thinking.

Tara believed me.

Tara would believe anything she thought could save Hunter.

You knew that.

Talked her into going and got them all killed.

My wife.

Our friends.

I told her not to go.

I told her listening to you was suicide.

And yet here you are.

With me.

Standing on that same ledge.

Here we

go.

Jesus.

Fifth floor.

This way.

Don't look.

I have to.

Where are they?

There should be cases of them in here.

What's that?

Can't tell.

Nothing on the tracker.

Where else could they be?

The OR.

That's one, no question.

Oh, well, we gotta go.

Shit.

It's close.

I'm looking.

I'm looking.

I got him.

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on, come on.

Okay.

Fucking.

Okay.

Holy fuck.

Now we're trapped.

No, we're not.

Stairs.

What are you doing?

I thought I told you to run.

I'm not in the lesson.

Is it dead?

It's not moving.

Yeah, but.

Right.

We should get the hell out of here.

The lot is closed.

There's no time.

I still need paraclit and I'm mesial oxide.

I have a hundred to think about.

This is about more than just your son.

There's no such thing as more than my son.

How much time did you just buy yourself?

Six months, a year?

Then you're right back here again.

Or we can prove that they can be killed.

And we fly that flag over the refuge.

Everyone else stuck on those mountaintops will know it.

The whole world will come and fight with us.

The odds may be stacked against us, but I'm with Katie.

We can't live like this forever.

Sooner or later, we have to fight them.

But I need your help.

I can't do this alone.

Let's go.

Scale.

Nothing on the tracker.

I'm gonna need five minutes.

I'll keep watch.

Thank God.

I never knew you had a family.

Well, I did.

You never said a word.

No, let's let this

dry and see what happens.

It's gonna take a few minutes.

I figured you might want this.

I was here when it happened.

It was a Saturday, but my team was close to a breakthrough.

Using cobalt to increase the electron flow in batteries makes them three times more efficient.

That's what I was thinking about when the world ended.

Batters.

Billy, my seven-year-old had a soccer game that day.

You ever seen kids that age play soccer?

How they all just converge on the ball at once?

The worst part is I chose not to go to that game.

And my husband had been traveling for two weeks and he came back.

I was tired of being a mom.

But there's nothing you could have done.

I could have held him in my arms one last time.

I'm sure you've had the same thought about Tara.

I never should have encouraged her to come with me.

I was overconfident.

I thought I'd figured out a way to hold him off and I was wrong.

If it's any consolation, I hate myself more than you could possibly hate me.

I only blame you because it's easier than blaming myself.

I knew she was gonna go.

Even after I tried to stop her.

And I let it happen.

You can't blame yourself.

Neither of us can.

What's the point?

All right.

You tried, Nina.

You did everything you could.

Go home, Will.

Go save your son.

He's running out of time.

What about you?

I'm gonna stay.

There are other things I can try.

I'm not leaving you here.

We're in this together.

And you got me here.

But it didn't work.

And I'm not leaving until it does or until they kill me first.

Look, my car is still in the lot outside.

If I get this right, I will need your help to get back.

I'll be on the road right behind you.

If I don't, there's no point in you dying here with me.

Go.

Go beat with Hunter.

So

uh

so they're

machines They hunt us, but they don't eat us.

They don't sleep.

They don't breathe.

They don't go an inch above 8,000 feet.

It's not a living creature.

That's programming.

By who?

Good shot.

Thanks.

Why 8,000 feet?

I have no idea.

Is the car still running?

Radiator blew half a mile back.

God, it felt amazing to kill those fuckers.

It's gonna feel even better when you raise that pirate flag and tell the world we have a way to beat them.

Torja's coming back.

I miss you so much.

Come on.

This is Lost Gulch Refuge.

Three years ago, the world we knew disappeared overnight.

We lost our homes, our communities, and most of the people we loved.

We still don't know why, above 8,000 feet, we were safe.

But we don't have to play by those rules anymore.

The Reapers tried to take our planet, and they saw it We die up here in these mountains.

Well, we're still here.

Sooner or later, we had to fight them.

Might as well be today.
