After Impact (2026) Movie Script

[man] I'm really worried about
the watering system.
We've been using liquid feed
through drip
lines for direct soil nutrition.
And we haven't had problems with
bugs or
scale for a few years now,
so, I'm really at a loss as
to what could be going wrong.
How's the temperature
variation between night and day?
We only do interval heating to
kill the botrytis.
[phone ringing]
I mean, you could aim for a
lower temperature at night.
During the summer periods, you
could go
for a 12 to 14 degree
difference between night and day.
[phone ringing]
You really think it's just the
temperature?
I believe so, yeah.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Sorry, I don't know who's trying
to call me.
Ah, no, no worries.
Yeah, naturally you'll find
improvements
in your business, but in terms of
growing, you're doing just fine.
Thank you.
[phone ringing]
I'll let you take that, eh?
Yeah.
Hello?
Yes, that's my father.
[rain pattering]
[]
It came as a bit of a shock to
everyone.
I'm sure your father wouldn't
have wanted
to see you like this.
I'm not... like him.
One day, you might be.
We shouldn't stay here for too
long.
[footsteps]
This is all yours now.
Do you know what you're going to
do with it?
I don't know.
I mean, it's one of the biggest
in the country.
Maybe you could run it yourself.
I don't know how to run a
business.
You advise people on how to run
theirs.
That's different.
How?
It's less responsibility.
You'll be okay.
I'm sure of it.
It's too much.
I mean, it's all too much.
God, no, Ethan. You'll be okay.
You'll be all right.
I need more time.
Someone has to run it in the
meantime.
I know.
I just can't.
And Sophie...
I mean, taking a mind off of it
might help.
A friend of mine and partner
Connor are
going to a bar tonight.
Do you know Connor?
Yeah.
You can join us if you want.
Yeah. I'd like that.
Okay.
See you tonight.
[footsteps]
[]
[water bubbling]
[mumbled] How many is Sophie
going to sink?
Two?
Maybe three?
Just wait.
I might clear a whole table.
[]
[balls clacking]
She's not just winning. She's
dominating.
Look at that stoic expression on
her face
[bar chatter]
Oh, but the battle's not won yet.
Ethan flanks the side, hoping to
catch Sophie off guard.
Don't listen to Connor.
He's just talking out of his ass
again.
Darling would I ever
When have I ever told a lie.
When do you not?
It would be a shame if I were to
ruin your streak.
But the game was already over.
We all see through his lies,
Madaline.
Hm.
[balls clacking]
I'm claiming the championship
title today.
Pressure's on, Connor.
Don't even think about it, Ethan.
[laughing] Unstoppable.
How come I'm the only liar?
Let's get another drink, guys.
What's going on over there?
[on TV, mumbled] Bringing you
breaking news that has the world on edge.
Our top story tonight.
Scientists are closely
monitoring an asteroid that
could be on a
collision course with Earth.
Brie Harrison has more.
You know.
You've been acting differently
lately.
I wonder why.
Did I miss something?
Come on, you can talk to me.
If something's wrong.
I'll consider it.
Let's try it.
Madaline, right.
Apparently she sees right
through me.
If she does, she might as well
leave me
for the man behind me
or whatever she sees on the
other side.
You know what I mean?
That's crazy.
That's not the real you talking.
The real me?
None of you have seen the real
me.
Maybe not.
[chuckles] All right.
It's your turn.
What's bothering you?
[TV chatter]
Ah, I see.
Do you really think you've got a
chance with Sophie?
I don't know.
Listen, I'm going to tell you
this
because we're friends.
Had you asked her a month ago,
then she might have said yes.
But now you're acting different.
You really don't know, do you?
Your father died or something.
Sophie's family's a military
family.
There is no emotion in their
household.
They're the suffer in silence
type.
So I should be more like you, is
that it?
Everybody needs to be more like
me.
Psychopathic?
Yep.
I'm sure she'll fall for someone
like me.
[door squeaks open]
The forecast mentions a storm
coming
through in the next few months.
I think the forecast mentions
something
more than just a storm coming
through.
Yeah, I saw that.
NASA will work its magic.
I hope so.
The last time a flood came
through, all
our silt traps were ruined.
And you know how pricey labor
has gotten.
I might have to get an excavator
and do it myself.
Your team seems rather small
today.
Did the price of labor stop you
from hiring?
No.
News has everyone on edge, so no
one came in today.
Well at least you'll be sorted
for the food shortage.
[Chuckling]
Yeah, I'm not thrilled with the
prospect
of living off potatoes and
onions.
Well, even the best
advice won't help much.
You can consider using more
automated
machinery, but even then,
this land can't be tended alone.
Yeah, I know that, but what more
can we do?
What do you think about the
asteroid?
A healthy amount of skepticism
is useful.
No matter what happens, panic
has already set it,
and that's going to cause us a
lot of problems.
[wind blowing]
[]
[car door shuts]
[man on radio] Well, you know we
all said the doomsday
preppers had lost the
plot, but here we are.
[woman on radio] John, they
didn't lose the plot.
They buried it under the ground.
[man on radio] It's very true,
and now here we are, all
pretending to be their friends.
[woman on radio] Well, I suppose
people will do anything to survive.
[knocking]
[door clicks open]
Ethan, what are you doing here?
Is this a bad time?
Um, well, no, now it's fine.
Okay, well, we have known each
other for a long time, haven't we?
Yeah, it's been a while.
This is hard for me to ask, but
what
would you say to us being
something more than friends?
I wasn't expecting that.
That's okay, I wasn't expecting
to be able to ask.
Look, Ethan, I don't... I don't
know how to
put this, but you're not my type.
I'm sorry.
You don't think we could try?
Everything alright, Sophie?
Look, Ethan, I think you should
go.
[door creaks shut]
[]
[on TV] We are closely
monitoring asteroid XZ987.
The chance of collision
is small, but
we're taking every
precaution and asking
the public to stay informed.
Our first probe mission
was unsuccessful.
We're analyzing data and
recalibrating
our approach to this
unprecedented challenge.
We just hope that... we
are not out of time.
NASA is urgently
training astronauts
for a possible
interception mission.
This critical effort highlights
the severity of the situation.
[woman on TV] As news of the
potential asteroid collision spreads,
People are rushing to
stock up on supplies
and seeking shelter.
There's a sense of panic
in the air
as uncertainty looms
over communities world wide.
[cars honking]
[]
[footsteps splashing]
[sliding]
[on TV] Tonight the world is
facing an unprecedented crisis
As a colossal asteroid
hurtles towards earth
At an alarming speed.
The situation is
critical as we stand
just days away from what
could be a devastating impact.
Ethan.
Ethan, can I talk to you?
What for?
I feel bad about last week.
What's done is done.
Yeah, I know, but we're still
friends, right?
We can talk like adults.
And, what would us adults talk
about?
You've already apologized.
Can we look past that?
Does Madeline know about you and
Connor?
I don't know.
And as I told her, I
think Madeline would feel.
I know, I screwed up.
Sounds like a real adult to me.
Ethan, stop being so childish,
okay.
I haven't come to start a fight.
Connor doesn't want anything to
do with
me and I have nowhere else to go.
Please leave.
Please, there is space.
I said, leave.
Please.
We are done talking.
[]
[footsteps]
[sighs]
[man on TV] This could be the
most trying time that
humanity has ever faced.
And in these finally
hours I urge you to
be with loved ones.
Find solace in each other.
[emergency alarm]
And hold onto the memories that
define our shared humanity.
[emergency alarm]

[Sophie's voice mail] Hey, uh,
it's Sophie. I can't come to the
phone right now, but
please leave a
message after the beep.

Heavenly father, In this moment
of uncertainty and fear,
we come together as a
community, united
in love and faith as we face
the unknown.
Sophie! Sophie!
[man] We seek your comfort and
peace.
Surround us with your divine
presence and
fill our hearts with
courage and strength.
Grant us the grace to cherish
each of the
moments we have shared.
The laughter,
the love, and even the tears.
[]
[man] Help us to find solace in
our unity and
the bonds that we have
forged over a lifetime.
[running footsteps]
We entrust ourselves and
and our world to your merciful
care.

I can hear you.
Yes.
Yes, I'm not alone.
[woman] It's so nice to hear
someone.
Are you doing okay?
[woman] It's cold and dark.
Yeah.
Yeah, it is.
[]
Is anyone with you?
[woman] No.
I'm the only one here.
Are you alone too?
Yes.
Have you been alone this whole
time?
[woman] No.
I'm going to keep talking with
you.
Is that okay?
[woman] Yes, please do.
What's your name?
[woman] Elle.
My name is Elle.
I'm Ethan.
[Elle] Ethan, I like that.
How have you survived up to now?
It's a long story.
How much time do you have.
[Elle] Don't worry I've got time.

[Elle] It would be suicide
to travel out there now.
Do you know how long the
winter's going to last?
[Elle] We're kind of in a
mini ice age.
I think the winter
will last for almost a year.
How long has it been, since the
impact?
[Elle] I don't know, I've
lost track.
There's no light outside.
So it's hard to tell.
[Ethan] Fire at A3.
[Elle] Miss.
[static]
Fire at C2.
Hit.
[Elle] I'm doing very well.
All right, fire at B5.
[Elle] Miss.
You just can't find
my ships, can you?
And how do I know you're not
lying?
[Elle] Oh, come on now, I
would never lie.
Well, you haven't won yet,
so I still have a chance.
[Elle] Okay.
D2.
Oh, you're joking.
[Elle] I'll presume that I
have now won?
Yes.
Yes you have.
How cold is it where you are?
[Elle] It's bad, it's really bad.
You'll stay strong for me, right?
This cold ain't nothing we can't
handle.
[Elle] Yeah.
You as well.
[hand-set clicking]
The pain in my leg's gone.
[Elle] Really?
But it doesn't move all that
well.
[Elle] How does it look? Is
it discolored?
It's got a reddish-white tint.
[Elle] Ethan.
That's not good,
that's not good at all.
Can you stand up and start
stretching it?
[ominous music]
[heavy breathing]
Ellie, I can't feel my leg at
all.
[Elle] It's frozen, you need
to warm it.
Can you start a fire?
You're bandages, were
probably still damp from washing it.

[Elle] Don't heat your leg
up too fast.
If you heat all of your body the
blood should reach your leg eventually.
Ellie?
I don't want to lose my leg.
[Elle] Who was the one
telling me to stay strong?
Yeah.
[Nervous laughter]
Do you have any fears Ellie?
[Elle] Plenty.
Like what?
[Elle] Let's see.
I'm afraid of spiders,
the monster under my bed.
The thought of being alone,
terrifies me.
But I try to not let
my fears get to me.
[fire crackling]
[wind blowing]
Ellie, if you could have any
food in the
world right now, what would it
be?
[Elle] I'd have to think.
There's so many things.
Pancakes with maple syrup.
A bacon and egg bagel.
Ah yeah, alright. So how about
something
that we can actually grow?
[Elle] Do you know what I
miss now that I think about it?
What's that?
[Elle] Strawberries. What I
would do for
strawberries right
now, that would be
what I miss the most.
[hand-set clicking]
[]
[box sliding]
Well, I have a surprise for you.
[Elle] Do you have them?
I have the seeds.
[Elle] No way, are you serious?
Yeah.
[Elle] Alright, I'm packing
my things.
I'm heading your way right now.
Just a few more months to go.
[Elle] We're gonna make it
through this, Ethan.
For the strawberries.
[Elle] Yes.
For the strawberries.
[crank whirring]
[Ethan] Rise and shine, the sun
is out
and the birds are chirping.
[Elle] Neither of those
things are true.
Yeah, but what's life
without a bit of imagination?
[Elle] Right, and I suppose
the bucket barista is here,
brewing us a coffee.
Pancakes, bacon and eggs,
life doesn't get any better.
[Elle] What are your
exciting plans for today?
Well, I was thinking of visiting
the
local hairdresser for
a trim in a beard grooming.
[Elle] Now that sounds thrilling.
I might take a stroll
in the park,
read another chapter in the sun,
or perhaps do some sketching.
What would you draw?
[Elle] You know, If you
describe yourself.
I could try draw a
portrait of you.
Alright.
Well, where should I start?
[Elle] Hmm, Let me see.
Let's start with the
facial structure.
Okay. Picture a jawline chiseled
by the gods,
cheekbones as sharp as razer's,
hair like an ocean wave.
[Elle] Uh-huh. And in reality?
In reality?
[Elle] I'm just saying I believe
you, but I have a funny feeling.
Well, if you just picture the
perfect male face.
[Elle] Ethan.
Alright, fine.
Shall I get a ruler?
[Elle] Yes. That would help.
Seventy, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty.
And now we do fifty crunches.
[Elle] Got it. Then we do my
exercises.
Only if you get to fifty before
me.
[Elle] Ah, easy.
Oh, you think so?
[Elle] Now, reach under your
left arm?
Oh, I don't think I can manage.
My leg is still broken.
[Elle] I know for the first
fact, that's a lie.
But do take it easy on your leg.
How's your food situation, Ellie?
[Elle] It's fine.
I'm conserving a bit.
I've noticed that you've stopped
talking about when you eat.
[Elle] I'm not running out,
but I do need to be careful.
You know, it's not as
cold, as it used to be?
[door creaking]
[]
[footsteps]
It does feel warmer.
Looks like we've got a bit of
snowfall, though.
[Elle] I'm located close to
the mountains.
I haven't seen them in so long.
Well, I know it's warmer,
but going outside is still too
risky.
She's already left.
[Elle] Ethan.
Yeah?
[Elle] I can't open my door.
Are you safe?
[Elle] I should be. A lot of
snow just covered my bunker.
Is the bunker holding up okay?
[Elle] It has up until now,
but the door's bending a little.
Okay, listen to me.
Tell me exactly where your
bunker is.
[Elle] It's too far, Ethan.
Just describe it to me.
[Elle] Okay, um.
It's about 500 meters from the
base of atlas mountain,
from the north side.
There's a river from the
mountain about a kilometer west.
But Ethan, don't
come. It's too dangerous.
I don't believe it.
You're running out of food, and
I've got plenty for the two of us
[Elle] Ethan, please, don't
risk your life.
I'm not taking the risk of
losing you.
[Elle] Ethan, please, don't
do this.
[metal jangling]
[Elle] Don't. Please, you'll
die out there.
It's going to be a ten-hour walk.
[Elle] Just let me go, Ethan.
Ethan.

alone.
You're not going to die. Don't
go up yet.
The sun has come through the
clouds. Spring is here.
We can be warm again.
You need to warm up.
Can I make a fire?
I've burnt everything.
I can use my body heat.
Thank you. Ethan.
For talking to me.
I'm here.
I can still...
I can.
Elle.
Elle. Elle, wake up.
Wake up, Elle.
Don't leave me.
Don't leave me.
Elle, I'm sorry.

Jessie, get away from him.
Are you afraid of someone with
no weapons?
We don't know him, do we?
Where are you from?
We can't answer that.
Why not, Jack?
You know why.
All right, tin man.
Please don't call me that.
Are there others in your group?
Yes.
There's a few of us left.
And Jack here is in charge of
taking out
those who don't belong.
Can I meet your group?
Do you have any food?
Stashed away somewhere?
I might do.
Great.
See, Jack?
He has food and supplies.
Fine.
But we have to leave now,
and get back to the camp.
[footsteps]
Are you coming or not?
How many of you survived?
It's complicated.
I mean we've got time?
We're a bunch of different surviving
groups that found each other.
At one point, there are about 30
of us.
And now?
What happened?
I think Jack can explain it
better than I can.
Are you going to be like this
the whole trip?
Do you want to explain it to
him, or should I?
There's nothing to explain.
We have all survive up to this
point havn't we?
[people chatting]
Shall we get you cleaned up,
then?
[]
[water lapping]
[knife flicking]
This should be sharp enough.
[gravel crunching]
Did you manage to harvest
anything?
Nothing.
Storm wiped out most of our
crops.
You don't have any drainage.
What do you mean?
The water can't run off, so it
just
sits and drowns the crops.
We haven't tried planting since.
We lost most of our seeds anyway.
[]
Is everyone starving?
It's complicated.
Let's hope he likes you, Ethan.
Otherwise, there's nothing we
can do for you.
Something I need to be worried
about?
We'll find out.
[footsteps]
Connor.
We didn't find much food, but we
found someone
that might have some for us.
Ethan.
Didn't think I'd see you again.
Should be cause for celebration,
aye?
Two friends managed to find each
other
in these troubled circumstances.
What are the odds of that?
Very low.
How did you survive?
Of course.
I'll tell you my story, but I'm
eager to hear yours.
How's, um... what was her name
again?
Blonde hair.
Blue eyes.
Sophie.
Sophie.
How is she?
She didn't make it.
What a shame.
And also, it's a shame about
your father.
Connor, there isn't enough food.
We searched the city over again,
and we couldn't find anything.
I know.
But you found something better.
Me and Ethan are very good
friends,
and we've known each other a
long time.
He's going to be a very valuable
asset to the camp.
In what way?
You don't have any food, do you?
No.
But you do know how to grow it.
We are going to run out of food
in the next few days.
And if it's anything like the
last time...
Jessie, why must you always
doubt me?
You were part of the search
party.
You failed to find us food.
All we have to do is send
another search party.
Problem Solved.
Now,
I'm going to talk to Ethan alone.
So get out.
[footsteps]
[]
You piece of shit.
How did you survive?
Well, knowing a lot of people
has its benefits,
even those you disagree with.
I was friendly enough to swindle
my way into a doomsday bunker.
Yet, another person you take
advantage of.
Well, no. Not really.
I mean, they don't want to be
alone for two years straight.
I think anybody would go crazy
after enduring something like that.
Which is why I am so grateful
that you're
in such good health after your
time alone.
And we are changed men now,
aren't we?
That we are.
[gravel crunching]
Hey.
Come on.
Ethan, this is our record
collector.
He spends his time searching for
any books and trinkets.
Anything that he finds, he
brings to me.
Now, you know what intrigues me,
Ethan?
What's that?
Science.
See, Desmond here is good at
letting
me know about these books when
he finds them.
Isn't that right?
I wasn't expecting you so I
thought...
I need to be the first to know.
Most of the books here are
fiction.
Well, I like to keep the books
safe.
From what?
You never know.
Anyway, have a look around.
I've got my duties.
So does everybody else.
[]
[approaching footsteps]
You hungry?
If everyone else is starving,
they should have it.
It's fine.
Take it.
You didn't want to pitch your
tent closer to camp?
I'm still an outsider.
Everyone seems rather cold
towards me.
We lost 10 people from
starvation. So.
They probably just see you as
another mouth to feed.
You don't seem to mind.
We shouldn't have lost 10 people.
Did you lose someone close to
you?
That must have been difficult.
We shouldn't have been this
desperate for food.
[footsteps walking away]
[Jack] The parts of the city
that we're going to be covering
havn't been raided since before
the impact.
I'm sure this place would have
been nice.
Yeah.
It was.
So how do you know Connor?
It's complicated.
Of course it is.
Nothing.
Same on my side.
We might have already searched
this place on other trips.
How far up the building did you
go?
As far as we could.
So you haven't been to the top?
You can't get to the top of most
of these buildings.
Well then you haven't searched
most of the city.
You don't have to follow me if
you don't want to.
This is going to be fun.
Come on, let's go.
No, that's crazy.
That's fine.
Then stay here.
Alright I will.
[]
Are you afraid, Jack?
No, I'm...
How are you not.
I am.
You don't have to follow us if
you don't want to.
[Jessie grunts]
He doesn't listen to anyone but
Connor.
All right.
Where do I go from here?
There's a ledge around the side.
Did you really need to bring the
gun?
How are you feeling, Jack?
Not so hard after all.
[Jack sighs]
The fuck am I doing?
You got this, Jack.
Say it.
I've got this. I've got this.
That's it.
[Jack grunts]
[Ethan] You made it.
[heavy breathing]
Never again
[Ethan] The hard part's over.
You were right?
And how far have you searched?
Just this room.
Should we open them now?
Sure.
But would it not be smarter to
take it back to the camp
so we can divide it up between
everyone?
I have to ask and Jessie, I want
you to listen as well.
What's wrong?
What's your opinion of Connor?
He is our leader.
And we do whatever he says
because he knows what's best.
And Jack?
Well, what's it to you?
I need to know your answer.
Connor's fine.
He kept us alive.
How?
What has he done to keep you
alive?
He made all the necessary
decisions.
For himself or for the group.
That's close enough.
There's something you're not
telling me.
[gun cocking]
We were starving, all right?
And you never counted the food?
No, Connor keeps track
of all the resources.
And you never bothered to
check how it's distributed?
No, because we trust him.
So why do you carry shame with
you?
What really happened?
Tell him, Jack.
Tell him what Connor made you do.
To alleviate the hunger
Some of us had to go.
And you had to do it?
We were starving. We had no
choice.
[Ethan sighs]
We will return to camp with only
10 cans.
Watch how they are distributed.
And we will wait until everyone
begins to starve.
We can't do that.
Why not?
I can't watch another person
starve.
No one will die.
[]
The sun's getting low.
I say we spend tonight here.
[footsteps walking away]
[]
[bag unzipping]
[fire crackling]
Do you forgive Jack?
Sorry.
I shouldn't have asked.
It's getting late.
I might join Jack.
Get some rest.
He didn't have a choice.
Otherwise, we...
We could have all died.
Is that true?
No.
It's just easier to believe.
You know, he was the only thing
keeping me here.
Now...
I don't know what to do.
I just want to be free.
Of all of it.
Jack?
Jessie and Jack are back.
Ethan, I didn't approve of you
leaving the camp.
I need to know where everyone is.
I asked him to go.
Well, you should have known
better.
How much did you find?
We found...
Just a few cans.
Oh, that's a shame.
The next time, if you don't find
enough,
don't bother coming back.
Less mouths to feed.
Why don't we make our
expeditions more efficient?
You have a mechanical
engineering book.
We could find a car, fix it up,
find a way to make fuel.
We need food now. We don't have
time or resources to spare.
You don't have the book anymore,
do you?
Look, Ethan, I understand that
you're new here.
You don't know how we do things,
but it's just not that simple.
Oh, I think it is and you're
making it difficult for everyone.
We're done talking.
[]
[dirt sifting]
[packages rustling]
[Connor] Due to a crisis in our
camp, we've
been forced into another
difficult situation.
I need your order to be brave
for me.
In fact, you all need brave for
yourselves.
We'll all go out in search of
food.
If you find anything, you may
return.
How many cans did he give out?
Four.
If you don't find anything,
don't bother coming back.
[Ethan] We came back with 10
cans didn't we?
Like last time, my hands have
been forced.
And you must all understand I
only do this
for our groups survival.
The woman can stay, but the men
must all leave.
Is there not another way, Connor?
Not allowing anyone to return
without any food is extreme.
I wish I had not come to this.
And what about you?
Will you also join us?
Someone's got to stay here to
keep the place running.
I think everyone here will
do just fine on their own.
I also want to point out
that we brought back more cans
than you distributed.
That's a lie.
I gave out what we received.
Where are the other cans?
There were no other cans.
No other cans?
And what about the farm?
Seems like someone dug up
the crop during a storm.
That's enough.
Get Ethan out of here.
No.
We'll hear Ethan out.
The truth is, Connor, we found
food.
We found plenty of food.
But I only brought back 10 cans
because I wanted to see
the kind of leader that you
really are.
I only do what's best for this
group and our survival.
You have only made choices based
off your own selfish wants.
Even before the impact, you were
a shallow man
with no thought or consideration
of others.
Jack, shut him up.
People in this camp, with their
lives, loved ones,
hopes, and dreams, were
unnecessarily snuffed out
by your selfish actions.
You think you're tough?
You think you have what it takes
to lead?
You're a weak man, and you
always have been.
I've changed.
Bullshit.
You've only ever leached off
others like me.
Without me, you're nothing.
I've done just fine the past few
years.
We've got plenty of work to do.
It's about time we became
something more than just survivors.
Are we going to continue to be
hungry?
Why did we ever listen to you?
[indistinct chattering]
[heavy breathing]
I'm sorry, Connor.
[Connor] Jack.
I appreciate everything you've
done for me.
I do.
We worked hard to keep the place
running, didn't we?
I'm not so sure anymore.
This is probably the last time
we see each other.
Come here.
Come closer.
Well, what are you going to do
now?
I don't know.
Might travel.
See the wonders of the world.
I think it's for the best, eh?

Why couldn't you just fall in

Huh?
I had everything under control
until you showed up.
Where's Jack?
I do everything for this camp.
Me, Ethan, it's my
responsibility.
It's not yours.
You don't get it.
People were starving.
And you took all the food for
yourself.
I only took those cans because I
need to survive.
I'm the one who needs to leave
this camp.
And if I die, this camp dies.
So what do you want me to do?
Go back to the camp and tell
everyone to welcome you back
with open arms?
Yes.
Because I'm the only one that's
strong enough to lead them.
People are dying.
Everyone at the camp has lost
their trust in you,
and you will not be able to get
it back.
That's bullshit.
You try to control everyone and
manipulate
everybody who has faith in you.
Shut your mouth.
You failed him, and I feel sorry
for you.
-[gunshot]
-[groaning]
I don't need your sympathy,
Ethan. [laughs]

You have taken everything from
me, Ethan.
Everything.
And this.
This is my camp.

alone terrifies me.
Ellie? Ellie, wake up!
Wake up, Ellie!

Nothing has changed!
Nothing at all.

[man] I'm really worried about
the watering system.
We've been using liquid feed
through drip
lines for direct soil nutrition.
And we haven't had problems with
bugs or
scale for a few years now,
so, I'm really at a loss as
to what could be going wrong.
How's the temperature
variation between night and day?
We only do interval heating to
kill the botrytis.
[phone ringing]
I mean, you could aim for a
lower temperature at night.
During the summer periods, you
could go
for a 12 to 14 degree
difference between night and day.
[phone ringing]
You really think it's just the
temperature?
I believe so, yeah.
Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
Sorry, I don't know who's trying
to call me.
Ah, no, no worries.
Yeah, naturally you'll find
improvements
in your business, but in terms of
growing, you're doing just fine.
Thank you.
[phone ringing]
I'll let you take that, eh?
Yeah.
Hello?
Yes, that's my father.
[rain pattering]
[]
It came as a bit of a shock to
everyone.
I'm sure your father wouldn't
have wanted
to see you like this.
I'm not... like him.
One day, you might be.
We shouldn't stay here for too
long.
[footsteps]
This is all yours now.
Do you know what you're going to
do with it?
I don't know.
I mean, it's one of the biggest
in the country.
Maybe you could run it yourself.
I don't know how to run a
business.
You advise people on how to run
theirs.
That's different.
How?
It's less responsibility.
You'll be okay.
I'm sure of it.
It's too much.
I mean, it's all too much.
God, no, Ethan. You'll be okay.
You'll be all right.
I need more time.
Someone has to run it in the
meantime.
I know.
I just can't.
And Sophie...
I mean, taking a mind off of it
might help.
A friend of mine and partner
Connor are
going to a bar tonight.
Do you know Connor?
Yeah.
You can join us if you want.
Yeah. I'd like that.
Okay.
See you tonight.
[footsteps]

[water bubbling]
[mumbled] How many is Sophie
going to sink?
Two?
Maybe three?
Just wait.
I might clear a whole table.

[balls clacking]
She's not just winning. She's
dominating.
Look at that stoic expression on
her face
[bar chatter]
Oh, but the battle's not won yet.
Ethan flanks the side, hoping to
catch Sophie off guard.
Don't listen to Connor.
He's just talking out of his ass
again.
Darling would I ever
When have I ever told a lie.
When do you not?
It would be a shame if I were to
ruin your streak.
But the game was already over.
We all see through his lies,
Madaline.
Hm.
[balls clacking]
I'm claiming the championship
title today.
Pressure's on, Connor.
Don't even think about it, Ethan.
[laughing] Unstoppable.
How come I'm the only liar?
Let's get another drink, guys.
What's going on over there?
[on TV, mumbled] Bringing you
breaking news that has the world on edge.
Our top story tonight.
Scientists are closely
monitoring an asteroid that
could be on a
collision course with Earth.
Brie Harrison has more.
You know.
You've been acting differently
lately.
I wonder why.
Did I miss something?
Come on, you can talk to me.
If something's wrong.
I'll consider it.
Let's try it.
Madaline, right.
Apparently she sees right
through me.
If she does, she might as well
leave me
for the man behind me
or whatever she sees on the
other side.
You know what I mean?
That's crazy.
That's not the real you talking.
The real me?
None of you have seen the real
me.
Maybe not.
[chuckles] All right.
It's your turn.
What's bothering you?
[TV chatter]
Ah, I see.
Do you really think you've got a
chance with Sophie?
I don't know.
Listen, I'm going to tell you
this
because we're friends.
Had you asked her a month ago,
then she might have said yes.
But now you're acting different.
You really don't know, do you?
Your father died or something.
Sophie's family's a military
family.
There is no emotion in their
household.
They're the suffer in silence
type.
So I should be more like you, is
that it?
Everybody needs to be more like
me.
Psychopathic?
Yep.
I'm sure she'll fall for someone
like me.
[door squeaks open]
The forecast mentions a storm
coming
through in the next few months.
I think the forecast mentions
something
more than just a storm coming
through.
Yeah, I saw that.
NASA will work its magic.
I hope so.
The last time a flood came
through, all
our silt traps were ruined.
And you know how pricey labor
has gotten.
I might have to get an excavator
and do it myself.
Your team seems rather small
today.
Did the price of labor stop you
from hiring?
No.
News has everyone on edge, so no
one came in today.
Well at least you'll be sorted
for the food shortage.
[Chuckling]
Yeah, I'm not thrilled with the
prospect
of living off potatoes and
onions.
Well, even the best
advice won't help much.
You can consider using more
automated
machinery, but even then,
this land can't be tended alone.
Yeah, I know that, but what more
can we do?
What do you think about the
asteroid?
A healthy amount of skepticism
is useful.
No matter what happens, panic
has already set it,
and that's going to cause us a
lot of problems.

[car door shuts]
[man on radio] Well, you know we
all said the doomsday
preppers had lost the
plot, but here we are.
[woman on radio] John, they
didn't lose the plot.
They buried it under the ground.
[man on radio] It's very true,
and now here we are, all
pretending to be their friends.
[woman on radio] Well, I suppose
people will do anything to survive.
[knocking]
[door clicks open]
Ethan, what are you doing here?
Is this a bad time?
Um, well, no, now it's fine.
Okay, well, we have known each
other for a long time, haven't we?
Yeah, it's been a while.
This is hard for me to ask, but
what
would you say to us being
something more than friends?
I wasn't expecting that.
That's okay, I wasn't expecting
to be able to ask.
Look, Ethan, I don't... I don't
know how to
put this, but you're not my type.
I'm sorry.
You don't think we could try?
Everything alright, Sophie?
Look, Ethan, I think you should
go.
[door creaks shut]
[]
[on TV] We are closely
monitoring asteroid XZ987.
The chance of collision
is small, but
we're taking every
precaution and asking
the public to stay informed.
Our first probe mission
was unsuccessful.
We're analyzing data and
recalibrating
our approach to this
unprecedented challenge.
We just hope that... we
are not out of time.
NASA is urgently
training astronauts
for a possible
interception mission.
This critical effort highlights
the severity of the situation.
[woman on TV] As news of the
potential asteroid collision spreads,
People are rushing to
stock up on supplies
and seeking shelter.

Ethan, can I talk to you?
What for?
I feel bad about last week.
What's done is done.
Yeah, I know, but we're still
friends, right?
We can talk like adults.
And, what would us adults talk
about?
You've already apologized.
Can we look past that?
Does Madeline know about you and
Connor?
I don't know.
And as I told her, I
think Madeline would feel.
I know, I screwed up.
Sounds like a real adult to me.
Ethan, stop being so childish,
okay.
I haven't come to start a fight.
Connor doesn't want anything to
do with
me and I have nowhere else to go.
Please leave.
Please, there is space.
I said, leave.
Please.
We are done talking.

lying?
[Elle] Oh, come on now, I
would never lie.
Well, you haven't won yet,
so I still have a chance.
[Elle] Okay.
D2.
Oh, you're joking.
[Elle] I'll presume that I
have now won?
Yes.
Yes you have.
How cold is it where you are?
[Elle] It's bad, it's really bad.
You'll stay strong for me, right?
This cold ain't nothing we can't
handle.
[Elle] Yeah.
You as well.
[hand-set clicking]
The pain in my leg's gone.
[Elle] Really?
But it doesn't move all that
well.
[Elle] How does it look? Is
it discolored?
It's got a reddish-white tint.
[Elle] Ethan.
That's not good,
that's not good at all.
Can you stand up and start
stretching it?
[ominous music]
[heavy breathing]
Ellie, I can't feel my leg at
all.
[Elle] It's frozen, you need
to warm it.
Can you start a fire?
You're bandages, were
probably still damp from washing it.

[Elle] Can you hear me, Ethan?
I can hear you, Ellie.
[Elle] Don't heat your leg
up too fast.
If you heat all of your body the
blood should reach your leg eventually.
Ellie?
I don't want to lose my leg.
[Elle] Who was the one
telling me to stay strong?
Yeah.
[Nervous laughter]
Do you have any fears Ellie?
[Elle] Plenty.
Like what?
[Elle] Let's see.
I'm afraid of spiders,
the monster under my bed.
The thought of being alone,
terrifies me.
But I try to not let
my fears get to me.
[fire crackling]
[wind blowing]
Ellie, if you could have any
food in the
world right now, what would it
be?
[Elle] I'd have to think.
There's so many things.
Pancakes with maple syrup.
A bacon and egg bagel.
Ah yeah, alright. So how about
something
that we can actually grow?
[Elle] Do you know what I
miss now that I think about it?
What's that?
[Elle] Strawberries. What I
would do for
strawberries right
now, that would be
what I miss the most.
[hand-set clicking]
[]
[box sliding]
Well, I have a surprise for you.
[Elle] Do you have them?
I have the seeds.
[Elle] No way, are you serious?
Yeah.
[Elle] Alright, I'm packing
my things.
I'm heading your way right now.
Just a few more months to go.
[Elle] We're gonna make it
through this, Ethan.
For the strawberries.
[Elle] Yes.
For the strawberries.
[crank whirring]
[Ethan] Rise and shine, the sun
is out
and the birds are chirping.
[Elle] Neither of those
things are true.
Yeah, but what's life
without a bit of imagination?
[Elle] Right, and I suppose
the bucket barista is here,
brewing us a coffee.
Pancakes, bacon and eggs,
life doesn't get any better.
[Elle] What are your
exciting plans for today?
Well, I was thinking of visiting
the
local hairdresser for
a trim in a beard grooming.
[Elle] Now that sounds thrilling.
I might take a stroll
in the park,
read another chapter in the sun,
or perhaps do some sketching.
What would you draw?
[Elle] You know, If you
describe yourself.
I could try draw a
portrait of you.
Alright.
Well, where should I start?
[Elle] Hmm, Let me see.
Let's start with the
facial structure.
Okay. Picture a jawline chiseled
by the gods,
cheekbones as sharp as razer's,
hair like an ocean wave.
[Elle] Uh-huh. And in reality?
In reality?
[Elle] I'm just saying I believe
you, but I have a funny feeling.
Well, if you just picture the
perfect male face.
[Elle] Ethan.
Alright, fine.
Shall I get a ruler?
[Elle] Yes. That would help.
Seventy, eighteen, nineteen,
twenty.
And now we do fifty crunches.
[Elle] Got it. Then we do my
exercises.
Only if you get to fifty before
me.
[Elle] Ah, easy.
Oh, you think so?
[Elle] Now, reach under your
left arm?
Oh, I don't think I can manage.
My leg is still broken.
[Elle] I know for the first
fact, that's a lie.
But do take it easy on your leg.
How's your food situation, Ellie?
[Elle] It's fine.
I'm conserving a bit.
I've noticed that you've stopped
talking about when you eat.
[Elle] I'm not running out,
but I do need to be careful.
You know, it's not as
cold, as it used to be?
[door creaking]
[]
[footsteps]
It does feel warmer.
Looks like we've got a bit of
snowfall, though.
[Elle] I'm located close to
the mountains.
I haven't seen them in so long.
Well, I know it's warmer,
but going outside is still too
risky.
She's already left.
[Elle] Ethan.
Yeah?
[Elle] I can't open my door.
Are you safe?
[Elle] I should be. A lot of
snow just covered my bunker.
Is the bunker holding up okay?
[Elle] It has up until now,
but the door's bending a little.
Okay, listen to me.
Tell me exactly where your
bunker is.
[Elle] It's too far, Ethan.
Just describe it to me.
[Elle] Okay, um.
It's about 500 meters from the
base of atlas mountain,
from the north side.
There's a river from the
mountain about a kilometer west.
But Ethan, don't
come. It's too dangerous.
I don't believe it.
You're running out of food, and
I've got plenty for the two of us
[Elle] Ethan, please, don't
risk your life.
I'm not taking the risk of
losing you.
[Elle] Ethan, please, don't
do this.
[metal jangling]
[Elle] Don't. Please, you'll
die out there.
It's going to be a ten-hour walk.
[Elle] Just let me go, Ethan.
Ethan.

[Ethan] Elle.
You made it.
I'm here now.
I thought I was going to die
alone.
You're not going to die. Don't
go up yet.
The sun has come through the
clouds. Spring is here.
We can be warm again.
You need to warm up.
Can I make a fire?
I've burnt everything.
I can use my body heat.
Thank you. Ethan.
For talking to me.
I'm here.
I can still...
I can.
Elle.
Elle. Elle, wake up.
Wake up, Elle.
Don't leave me.
Don't leave me.
Elle, I'm sorry.

[Ethereal] Who are you?

Sophie.
Wake up.
[whispers] Sophie.
Jessie, get away from him.
Are you afraid of someone with
no weapons?
We don't know him, do we?
Where are you from?
We can't answer that.
Why not, Jack?
You know why.
All right, tin man.
Please don't call me that.
Are there others in your group?
Yes.
There's a few of us left.
And Jack here is in charge of
taking out
those who don't belong.
Can I meet your group?
Do you have any food?
Stashed away somewhere?
I might do.
Great.
See, Jack?
He has food and supplies.
Fine.
But we have to leave now,
and get back to the camp.
[footsteps]
Are you coming or not?
How many of you survived?
It's complicated.
I mean we've got time?
We're a bunch of different surviving
groups that found each other.
At one point, there are about 30
of us.
And now?
What happened?
I think Jack can explain it
better than I can.
Are you going to be like this
the whole trip?
Do you want to explain it to
him, or should I?
There's nothing to explain.
We have all survive up to this
point havn't we?
[people chatting]
Shall we get you cleaned up,
then?
[]
[water lapping]
[knife flicking]
This should be sharp enough.
[gravel crunching]
Did you manage to harvest
anything?
Nothing.
Storm wiped out most of our
crops.
You don't have any drainage.
What do you mean?
The water can't run off, so it
just
sits and drowns the crops.
We haven't tried planting since.
We lost most of our seeds anyway.
[]
Is everyone starving?
It's complicated.
Let's hope he likes you, Ethan.
Otherwise, there's nothing we
can do for you.
Something I need to be worried
about?
We'll find out.
[footsteps]
Connor.
We didn't find much food, but we
found someone
that might have some for us.
Ethan.
Didn't think I'd see you again.
Should be cause for celebration,
aye?
Two friends managed to find each
other
in these troubled circumstances.
What are the odds of that?
Very low.
How did you survive?
Of course.
I'll tell you my story, but I'm
eager to hear yours.
How's, um... what was her name
again?
Blonde hair.
Blue eyes.
Sophie.
Sophie.
How is she?
She didn't make it.
What a shame.
And also, it's a shame about
your father.
Connor, there isn't enough food.
We searched the city over again,
and we couldn't find anything.
I know.
But you found something better.
Me and Ethan are very good
friends,
and we've known each other a
long time.
He's going to be a very valuable
asset to the camp.
In what way?
You don't have any food, do you?
No.
But you do know how to grow it.
We are going to run out of food
in the next few days.
And if it's anything like the
last time...
Jessie, why must you always
doubt me?
You were part of the search
party.
You failed to find us food.
All we have to do is send
another search party.
Problem Solved.
Now,
I'm going to talk to Ethan alone.
So get out.
[footsteps]
[]
You piece of shit.
How did you survive?
Well, knowing a lot of people
has its benefits,
even those you disagree with.
I was friendly enough to swindle
my way into a doomsday bunker.
Yet, another person you take
advantage of.
Well, no. Not really.
I mean, they don't want to be
alone for two years straight.
I think anybody would go crazy
after enduring something like that.
Which is why I am so grateful
that you're
in such good health after your
time alone.
And we are changed men now,
aren't we?
That we are.
[gravel crunching]
Hey.
Come on.
Ethan, this is our record
collector.
He spends his time searching for
any books and trinkets.
Anything that he finds, he
brings to me.
Now, you know what intrigues me,
Ethan?
What's that?
Science.
See, Desmond here is good at
letting
me know about these books when
he finds them.
Isn't that right?
I wasn't expecting you so I
thought...
I need to be the first to know.
Most of the books here are
fiction.
Well, I like to keep the books
safe.
From what?
You never know.
Anyway, have a look around.
I've got my duties.
So does everybody else.
[]
[approaching footsteps]
You hungry?
If everyone else is starving,
they should have it.
It's fine.
Take it.
You didn't want to pitch your
tent closer to camp?
I'm still an outsider.
Everyone seems rather cold
towards me.
We lost 10 people from
starvation. So.
They probably just see you as
another mouth to feed.
You don't seem to mind.
We shouldn't have lost 10 people.
Did you lose someone close to
you?
That must have been difficult.
We shouldn't have been this
desperate for food.
[footsteps walking away]
[Jack] The parts of the city
that we're going to be covering
havn't been raided since before
the impact.
I'm sure this place would have
been nice.
Yeah.
It was.
So how do you know Connor?
It's complicated.
Of course it is.
Nothing.
Same on my side.
We might have already searched
this place on other trips.
How far up the building did you
go?
As far as we could.
So you haven't been to the top?
You can't get to the top of most
of these buildings.
Well then you haven't searched
most of the city.
You don't have to follow me if
you don't want to.
This is going to be fun.
Come on, let's go.
No, that's crazy.
That's fine.
Then stay here.
Alright I will.
[]
Are you afraid, Jack?
No, I'm...
How are you not.
I am.
You don't have to follow us if
you don't want to.
[Jessie grunts]
He doesn't listen to anyone but
Connor.
All right.
Where do I go from here?
There's a ledge around the side.
Did you really need to bring the
gun?
How are you feeling, Jack?
Not so hard after all.
[Jack sighs]
The fuck am I doing?
You got this, Jack.
Say it.
I've got this. I've got this.
That's it.
[Jack grunts]
[Ethan] You made it.
[heavy breathing]
Never again
[Ethan] The hard part's over.
You were right?
And how far have you searched?
Just this room.
Should we open them now?
Sure.
But would it not be smarter to
take it back to the camp
so we can divide it up between
everyone?
I have to ask and Jessie, I want
you to listen as well.
What's wrong?
What's your opinion of Connor?
He is our leader.
And we do whatever he says
because he knows what's best.
And Jack?
Well, what's it to you?
I need to know your answer.
Connor's fine.
He kept us alive.
How?
What has he done to keep you
alive?
He made all the necessary
decisions.
For himself or for the group.
That's close enough.
There's something you're not
telling me.
[gun cocking]
We were starving, all right?
And you never counted the food?
No, Connor keeps track
of all the resources.
And you never bothered to
check how it's distributed?
No, because we trust him.
So why do you carry shame with
you?
What really happened?
Tell him, Jack.
Tell him what Connor made you do.
To alleviate the hunger
Some of us had to go.
And you had to do it?
We were starving. We had no
choice.
[Ethan sighs]
We will return to camp with only
10 cans.
Watch how they are distributed.
And we will wait until everyone
begins to starve.
We can't do that.
Why not?
I can't watch another person
starve.
No one will die.
[]
The sun's getting low.
I say we spend tonight here.
[footsteps walking away]
[]
[bag unzipping]
[fire crackling]
Do you forgive Jack?
Sorry.
I shouldn't have asked.
It's getting late.
I might join Jack.
Get some rest.
He didn't have a choice.
Otherwise, we...
We could have all died.
Is that true?
No.
It's just easier to believe.
You know, he was the only thing
keeping me here.
Now...
I don't know what to do.
I just want to be free.
Of all of it.
Jack?
Jessie and Jack are back.
Ethan, I didn't approve of you
leaving the camp.
I need to know where everyone is.
I asked him to go.
Well, you should have known
better.
How much did you find?
We found...
Just a few cans.
Oh, that's a shame.
The next time, if you don't find
enough,
don't bother coming back.
Less mouths to feed.
Why don't we make our
expeditions more efficient?
You have a mechanical
engineering book.
We could find a car, fix it up,
find a way to make fuel.
We need food now. We don't have
time or resources to spare.
You don't have the book anymore,
do you?
Look, Ethan, I understand that
you're new here.
You don't know how we do things,
but it's just not that simple.
Oh, I think it is and you're
making it difficult for everyone.
We're done talking.
[]
[dirt sifting]
[packages rustling]
[Connor] Due to a crisis in our
camp, we've
been forced into another
difficult situation.
I need your order to be brave
for me.
In fact, you all need brave for
yourselves.
We'll all go out in search of
food.
If you find anything, you may
return.
How many cans did he give out?
Four.
If you don't find anything,
don't bother coming back.
[Ethan] We came back with 10
cans didn't we?
Like last time, my hands have
been forced.
And you must all understand I
only do this
for our groups survival.
The woman can stay, but the men
must all leave.
Is there not another way, Connor?
Not allowing anyone to return
without any food is extreme.
I wish I had not come to this.
And what about you?
Will you also join us?
Someone's got to stay here to
keep the place running.
I think everyone here will
do just fine on their own.
I also want to point out
that we brought back more cans
than you distributed.
That's a lie.
I gave out what we received.
Where are the other cans?
There were no other cans.
No other cans?
And what about the farm?
Seems like someone dug up
the crop during a storm.
That's enough.
Get Ethan out of here.
No.
We'll hear Ethan out.
The truth is, Connor, we found
food.
We found plenty of food.
But I only brought back 10 cans
because I wanted to see
the kind of leader that you
really are.
I only do what's best for this
group and our survival.
You have only made choices based
off your own selfish wants.
Even before the impact, you were
a shallow man
with no thought or consideration
of others.
Jack, shut him up.
People in this camp, with their
lives, loved ones,
hopes, and dreams, were
unnecessarily snuffed out
by your selfish actions.
You think you're tough?
You think you have what it takes
to lead?
You're a weak man, and you
always have been.
I've changed.
Bullshit.
You've only ever leached off
others like me.
Without me, you're nothing.
I've done just fine the past few
years.
We've got plenty of work to do.
It's about time we became
something more than just survivors.
Are we going to continue to be
hungry?
Why did we ever listen to you?
[indistinct chattering]
[heavy breathing]
I'm sorry, Connor.
[Connor] Jack.
I appreciate everything you've
done for me.
I do.
We worked hard to keep the place
running, didn't we?
I'm not so sure anymore.
This is probably the last time
we see each other.
Come here.
Come closer.
Well, what are you going to do
now?
I don't know.
Might travel.
See the wonders of the world.
I think it's for the best, eh?

until you showed up.
Where's Jack?
I do everything for this camp.
Me, Ethan, it's my
responsibility.
It's not yours.
You don't get it.
People were starving.
And you took all the food for
yourself.
I only took those cans because I
need to survive.
I'm the one who needs to leave
this camp.
And if I die, this camp dies.
So what do you want me to do?
Go back to the camp and tell
everyone to welcome you back
with open arms?
Yes.
Because I'm the only one that's
strong enough to lead them.
People are dying.
Everyone at the camp has lost
their trust in you,
and you will not be able to get
it back.
That's bullshit.
You try to control everyone and
manipulate
everybody who has faith in you.
Shut your mouth.
You failed him, and I feel sorry
for you.
