I'm gonna get you guys a drink.
Okay.
Adrian saw what happened.
He says it was Jay.
ALEX: We need to get inside.
[Mrs.
Carmody screams.]
We got to go! Adrian.
Wait in the car.
MIA: What are you gonna do? KEVIN: Find my wife and daughter.
EVE: We're safe.
It's coming! It's coming! [gunshot.]
[music.]
What do you see? Can't see anything.
I tried warning them there was something out there.
They wouldn't listen.
What was it? My dog ran to the mist, and, uh, something killed it.
You think it could be some kind of animal? MIA: Doesn't explain this guy.
Connor's gone.
M-Maybe it's, uh, chemical warfare, like a-an acid cloud? Well, you're the soldier.
Shouldn't you know? What do we do? My family's at the mall.
I've gotta get to them.
Look, there'll be food there, supplies.
I thought you said you wanted to help.
Yeah, but what about the whole cockroach out-of-mouth incident.
I'm not trying to force anyone to do anything.
I'm coming.
Me, too.
Well, I'm not staying here alone, so There's a police car out front.
Let's find the keys and get the hell out of here.
ADRIAN: Where's Connor? KEVIN: He's gone.
That asshole left us here.
[brakes squealing.]
[shallow breathing.]
[squeal.]
Mrs.
Raven.
Mrs.
Raven whose blood is this? - Yes? - Father, Police Chief Heisel is here.
He looks Is he here because of my husband? What do you mean? There was a man in the mist.
He came out of nowhere.
He shot Benedict, and then he shot himself.
You can't see a thing outside, man.
Right up against the front door.
ALEX: When is the police coming? They will.
Don't worry.
If she wants - Thanks.
- Sure.
GUARD: There's a lady right here that knows.
Thank you.
GUS: Mrs.
Copeland? I'm Gus Bradley, the mall manager.
Kyle said you saw what happened? Mrs.
Carmody went outside.
We heard her scream.
She came running back to the window.
Her jaw was missing, and then something something dragged her back.
What was it? I don't know.
What about her son? He's still out there.
Come with me.
Is it weird I kind of wish that I had seen it? Not weird, disturbing, profoundly.
Should we go out and look for her son? No one's going anywhere, Raj, not until we know it's safe.
Could it have been a bear? I saw her.
It was no bear.
What are we gonna do if it gets inside? We make sure it doesn't.
Okay, everybody, listen up! Until we get in contact with law enforcement, we stay in here, where we know it's safe.
We're gonna lock the doors, so whatever is out there won't be getting in here.
I'm gonna need some help.
Let's hurry.
I've got two keys here.
We'll take the lower level.
Okay.
- I can help.
- Yeah.
Let's go with her.
Alex.
I just can't be here right now.
Okay.
Mrs.
Raven's in back.
She said someone shot her husband and then killed himself.
Just now? Jesus.
Shouldn't you go out there? She said he killed himself? All right.
Then we sit tight until we know what's going on.
I hoped you knew what it was out there.
No idea, but in case it's toxic smoke or something like that, we stay.
It's better to be safe.
Nat, I'm so sorry.
[crying.]
Ah, it's okay.
All right.
Ahh.
[sobbing.]
Hey, follow me.
Follow me.
Look, sit down.
Sit down.
[gasping.]
[bottle top opens.]
What are you doing? Uh, I'm looking for car keys.
The man found a set.
[shudders.]
I'm scared, okay, like everybody else.
I thought these might help take the edge off.
Please don't tell him.
He's gonna leave me here.
I'm always the one being left behind.
You an addict? Who got us out of that cell, huh? You think a junkie could pull that off? I want the truth.
The truth is that I want to feel better than I do, and you can go yourself if you don't understand.
If this is gonna be a problem out there It won't be.
It won't be if you help me.
I need you to help me.
He doesn't have to know.
But the pills stay.
ALEX: You think it's safe to get close to the doors? It'll be fine.
It's fine.
We're fine.
[sighs.]
Thank you for coming with me.
- I'm Kimmi.
- Eve.
[Kimmi gasps.]
Maybe she knows what's going on.
What's wrong? One of the hallways is filled with mist, and there's another body in it.
Jesus.
What the hell is going on? Where was it? Which hallway? This one.
That's the administration wing.
Do we just sit and wait? Shouldn't the police be here already? There might be another option.
After 9/11, Homeland Security issued radios to all major public outlets.
We got one of those.
It's in the security office.
What's wrong? The security office is in the admin wing, right where you found that body.
Jesus.
It's Theo.
From accounting.
GUS: What the hell is going on? Some kind of terrorism? RAJ: Man, what are you looking at me for? I own a shoe store.
- Yeah, well you never know.
- JAY: Hey! Maybe it's poisonous.
Or some type of toxic gas or something.
Poison wouldn't rip his arm off.
And Alex and I ran through it.
Well something's in there.
Something that came through an open window.
EVE: Do you see anything in there? JAY: Looks empty.
KYLE: Someone want to make a run for it? JAY: Whatever killed him could still be in there? The electronics store has a drone with a camera.
Dad and I looked at it last time we were there.
KEVIN: It's probably fine, but let's hurry, just in case.
Okay? [gasps.]
Start the engine! BRYAN: Hurry it's getting thicker.
KEVIN: What the hell? [engine starts.]
GUS: You ready? JAY: Yeah.
Let's hope it works, it was the only one in the store.
[drone buzzing.]
Watch it.
It's all right, I know how to fly these things.
[drone buzzing.]
Do you see anything? Shh! [drone buzzing.]
GUS: It's closed.
We're safe.
One of the other doors was opened.
GUS: Let's have a look.
JAY: Looks empty.
GUS: But we found the leak.
Look outside.
Wait.
GUS: What the Who wrote? [gasps.]
- WOMAN: What is it? - MAN: What do you see? It's another body.
MAN: Another one? The drone it's stuck.
This can't be real.
It isn't happening.
This isn't happening.
Look.
Calm down.
Everything's going to be all right.
JAY: It won't lift.
Goddammit.
Who was that? I don't know.
What did he write? Ammo? No.
A-R-R and then something.
I think it said Anna.
Who the hell is Anna? GUS: Okay everyone, gather around.
Here's what we know.
Three people are dead, at least.
Something is clearly very, very wrong and we need to let the authorities know that we are here and alive.
Now since it doesn't seem to be dangerous in itself, and since whatever it is is no longer in the hallway.
I suggest we send someone to the radio to call for help.
I'm not going in there.
Me neither.
Well someone has to.
What about you? You're the leader here.
Uh, I will.
If my name is drawn.
We'll do a lottery.
[laughs.]
You can't force people to put themselves in danger.
Well it's dangerous if we just sit here and wait.
You have a better suggestion? Or you prefer to run out to one of the cars and take your chances out there.
Anyone? Then that's the way it's going to be.
Where am I going? Another mile.
Then a Then a right on Beacher.
Doesn't look as thick.
KEVIN: Yeah.
But why? I don't know.
God.
[shudders.]
- Watch out! - Help! I need your help! Please open up! What do we do? Get out of the car.
WOMAN: Get out of the car.
Okay.
We just need the car.
We just need the car.
MIA: Okay.
Get out of the car! Slow down! Slow down! Mia, Mia, slow down! Slow down, Mia! KEVIN: Slow down.
Slow down! Slow down! Brakes! [all gasping.]
Is everyone okay? I'm just gonna need a minute.
Me, too.
Adrian, you okay? I'm fine.
How's my hair? Improved.
KEVIN: Adrian, are you okay? I'm dizzy.
What the hell happened? When was the last time you evaded a carjacking, asshole? [glass cracking.]
Nobody move.
Shh.
Shh.
Shh.
- BRYAN: Oh Shit! - MIA: [gasps.]
KEVIN: Get the door! Son of a bitch! Open! Watch the glass.
I got you.
Got you.
What now? We run.
Run where? [bells tolling.]
The church.
BRYAN: Where the hell are we? There! Wait! The guns! WOMAN: Mia.
- Mia.
- You're not real.
You're not You're not real.
It's just It's just the withdrawal.
That's, uh I miss you, baby doll.
You're not real.
Come on.
Let's go! Come on! Mr.
Copeland! What's going on out there? - I have no idea.
- Are you okay? Yeah, I think so.
[both panting.]
Is help coming? You ought to tell Clive he should start writing those circuit breaker assignments in pen, Father.
You were supposed to wait for us.
Calm down.
- Where'd you go? - Calm down.
What Who told you you could release my prisoners? You left us to die in that cell! - What are you even - Yeah - Hey, Mia! - This is a house of God! MIA: What the hell are you Take it easy.
You want to be next? Chief Heisel.
Connor.
- Come on.
- Hey, Connor! - Hey! - Hey, take it easy.
- Connor.
- Try it again.
I dare you.
Oh, yeah? You think that's gonna make me stop calling you a pussy?! [gasping.]
Come on.
Hey! We could have been killed back there.
I don't have to explain anything to you.
It's your job to keep people safe.
You left a 17-year-old kid behind.
I waited in the car like I said I would! Then something attacked.
I honked the horn again and again, but you never came! Maybe because you were helping stage a prison break! What do you mean, you were attacked? I thought you said you didn't know what it was.
Yeah, well, like you said, it's my job to protect people.
I didn't want to start a panic.
Then what is it? What's out there? - Eve, I'm sorry.
- Jesus.
[crowd murmuring.]
- Mom.
- Don't worry.
It'll be okay.
I'll be back soon.
Just tell me what I'm doing so I can get this over with.
You shouldn't go alone.
- Clint, please.
- I'm going with her.
The security office.
ALEX: It's going to be okay.
Going to be fine.
- EVE: It's gonna be okay.
- I know.
I want you to stay with Kimmi until I get back.
I just need to know you'll be watched after right now.
I love you more than anything.
[kiss.]
I'm so sorry about Benedict.
Father Romanov told me.
He was a wonderful man.
He was mine since I was 18.
Now he's gone, I don't know what to do.
Did you know that if the bees die, humanity will only have four years left? I'm so sorry.
I mean, maybe he's he's still here in spirit? Oh, Kevin, you're smarter than that.
There is no spirit.
There's just nature.
There's here and not here.
He is not here.
Ready Eve? Yeah.
[suspenseful music.]
All right.
Run for it? [suspenseful music.]
There.
Okay.
[exhales.]
Now fingers crossed the battery still has enough juice.
[beeps.]
It has juice! You okay? It's fine.
It'll be over soon.
Thought you said you weren't a junkie.
I thought you said you'd help me.
What's it like? Tell me.
Maybe it'll help.
You know when you're holding your breath and there's that unbearable feeling right before you relent and take a gulp of air? Well, imagine that feeling lasting for a week.
I'm sorry.
Yeah, well, me, too.
You know, when I stopped running outside I hallucinated.
I saw I saw a person I used to know.
Except she's dead, so Heh.
That's what it does.
Screws with your mind.
Channel 19, come in.
Anyone on channel 19? Over.
Channel 21? Anyone on channel 21, come in.

Arrowhead, Arrowhead, do you copy? Over.
What's Arrowhead.
I repeat! Arrowhead, Arrowhead! This is Shadow 4-1 standing by for report.

What's Shadow 4-1? [buttons beeping.]
How do you know how to We should take the radio back with us to the fountain.
The radio stays here.
Come in, Arrowhead, Arrowhead, this is Shadow 4-1 standing by for report.

Why do you have a gun? Who are you? [both grunt.]
[gasping.]
[grunts.]
[growl.]
[panting.]
[crying.]
Are you gonna have a service tonight? I wasn't planning on it.
LINK: I've just been thinking a lot about Revelations.
I think we should think less and pray more.
Still, when I pray to God, He answers in your voice.
That's the way it is for a lot of people in this town.
They need to hear your voice when they're scared.
[clears throat.]
Thank you, Link, for your concern, but one form of nourishment at a time.
Uh, please, wait for grace to be said.
What if you don't believe in God? His house, His rules.
Where's Mrs.
Raven? She must have needed some time alone.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
Bless us, O Lord, in these, thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen.
GUS: Eve! - MAN: She's back.
She's back.
- [crowd murmurs.]
The radio work? She okay? Give her a minute, folks.
Where's Clint? We lost each other in the hallway.
I ran back for him, and he was I'm sorry.
Did you see what it was? And the radio? It wasn't working.
We'll find another way.
Give us a minute.
You ever seen those guys before? In the mall? Around town? First time was this morning.
Why? I was thinking about their families.
They must be worried sick.
ADRIAN: What do we do now? KEVIN: Stay here for the night.
Do you think Alex is okay? I'm sure she is.
I'm sure your parents are, too.
FR.
ROMANOV: Mrs.
Raven.
Mrs.
Raven, please.
That's only for services.
I'd like to have a drink.
I'd like to make a toast for my husband.
Let the woman have a drink.
Actually, let all of us have a drink.
Mikhail? If God can forgive me for the things I've done, I'm sure He can also forgive this.
Thank you.
I'd like to say a few words about him.
When I first met my husband Benedict, we weren't even in our 20s.
We had no money, no jobs.
We were hippies and very happy about that.
We had each other, and that was all that mattered.
Our favorite thing was making spaghetti together and drinking cheap wine just like this.
When we got older, we settled down here.
We actually had money, but we never stopped drinking cheap wine.
Benedict didn't want to forget those days when we were young and had the world in our pocket and neither do I.
I'd like us all to drink in his memory.
To never forget his warmth, his kindness and his love of cheap wine.
Hey, hey! No underage drinking.
Come on.
You of all people should know what it can lead to.
We should get some sleep.
[music.]
Down by the river by the boats Where everybody goes to be alone Where you won't see any rising sun Good night.
We will run Good night.
Down by the water the riverbed Somebody calls you somebody says Swim with the current and float away Down by the river every day Oh My God I see How everything is torn In the river deep And I don't know Why I go the way Down by the riverside When that old river runs past your eyes To wash off the dirt on the riverside Go to the water so every near The river will be your eyes and ears "Baby doll.
