Salt of the Earth (2026) Movie Script

(film projector clattering)
(insects calling)
(truck engine rumbling)
(gun clicks)
You boys lost?
I don't think so. Are you Rita?
Maybe. Who the fuck are you?
My name's Ivan.
No it's not.
That's some European-looking
motherfucker's name.
What do you want?
Heard you had generators.
Says who?
People.
Why y'all dressed like that?
We're Army.
[Rita] Thought that shit was over.
We're still around. So how much?
Thousand.
We'll take three.
Three generators. That's gonna be 3,000.
[Ivan] Yes ma'am.
Shit, all right. Money bags.
I mean, if you got it like that,
y'all are about to clean me out,
but I know where I can get some more.
It's gonna cost you a boat.
That fits six, seaworthy,
fucking cozy and shit.
Think you can handle that?
I think I can do that.
Okay.
Generators are back there.
You boys help yourselves.
I don't lift, I'm delicate.
[Man] Hey, man. Wanna see a dead body?
(oppressive heavy metal music)
(oppressive heavy metal music continues)
Hey dad. You want a ride to work?
No. Lorelei's gonna pick me up.
[David] You want something to eat?
Nah, I better get going.
All right. Well I'm
going back to bed then.
Working at the market today?
Yeah, I will later.
We have to bulk up on the fences
'cause somebody killed
all the dogs last night.
I heard about that. Lorelei was pissed.
Yeah.
Get some rest. I love you kid.
Love you too dad. Be careful out there.
Good morning.
Good morning. You slow-ass motherfucker.
Did you have a rough night last night?
Yeah, man, fucking
nightmares. I don't sleep anymore.
Still?
I'm gonna fuck somebody up today.
I don't have any fucking patience.
Good for you.
Hooee. Showtime, a-holes.
Oh yeah. Yeah, that's badass.
You're gonna blow your fucking junk off.
Shut up, I know what the fuck I'm doing.
Use this on the dog.
What dog?
There's always a fucking
dog. Come on, you know this.
What is happening?
I could never.
You fucking will ever.
Do we have to hurt dogs?
Oh my God. Zee, are
you kidding me with this shit?
Look, I'm doing the hardest part, okay?
It's too fucking hot to
be dealing with this shit.
You knock that fucking mutt out.
Siphon the gas outta the
trucks. That's it, capiche?
All right, let's just fucking do it.
Beautiful. (Whoops)
(suspenseful music)
(man coughing)
[Georgia] What can I get you?
Gas.
[Georgia] How much gas you need?
I don't know, $10 worth?
[Georgia] What else you need?
Antibiotics.
[Georgia] We don't have that.
We haven't had that in years.
Well, that's a fucking lie.
My brother's dying out here.
We're all dying, sir.
What else can I getcha?
Look, I know you've
got medicine in there.
Just fucking bring me out anything.
[Georgia] Sir, don't use
that language with me.
You need to calm the fuck down.
All right, water. We need water.
[Georgia] What else?
Nothing, that's it. Don't
have any more money.
All right, honey,
we'll have it right out.
(dogs barking and snarling)
Oh shit.
Oh, what the shit?
(dog snarling)
Oh, I fucking told you Tobe.
(bat thudding) (dog snarling)
[Toby] Oh, fuck.
(insects calling)
Hey, the bitch says you
ain't got any medicine in there.
I call bullshit on that.
Put the money in the little box there.
Don't give us any shit, man.
Do you want me to shoot him or?
I want you to go back in there
and bring me out some fucking antibiotics.
Pay me and get the fuck outta here.
Fuck you. My brother's sick.
He doesn't get any medicine
soon, he's gonna fucking die.
[David] I don't give a shit,
put the money in the box.
Just tell me when.
All right man, let's go
inside. This isn't worth it.
You stay where you fucking are.
(gun banging)
(body thuds)
(dramatic music)
(gun bangs)
(dramatic music)
[Darcy] You're late.
It's 'cause of this slow motherfucker.
[Darcy] Yeah, who gives
a shit. What do you want?
I want my ammo, shoot a little bit, man.
That makes sense. All right.
Four mags for you 'cause
you suck at shooting.
You're always missing.
Fuck you in your dumb-ass fishing vest.
It's a normal vest. It's a tactical vest.
It's got all my stuff in it.
Protects me from threats.
Okay.
You got a box of 357 shells?
All right, Playboy, you
got it. Here's one for you.
[Elton] Thanks.
Yeah.
Get in the there.
More fucking scum.
That's fucking right. That's right.
I'd rather be scum than
you fucks. Fuck you.
[Darcy] Fuck you.
You're wasting your fucking time.
There's more of us than there are of you.
This is our fucking
world. Our time is coming.
Our fucking time is coming.
You're gonna fucking die bitch.
Get that fucking scumbag outta here.
This is our world. You're
gonna fucking die bitches.
[Darcy] Put him in the
back where I can't hear him.
Tired of his shit already.
He's right, you know, we're all fucked.
Yeah. What are you gonna do?
[Lorelei] Fucking shoot some guns.
[Darcy] There we go. Have fun.
[Prisoner] This is our world.
You're gonna fucking die bitches.
[Prisoner] You fucking bitch.
[Prisoner] That's right.
I think we're in the
clear for the most part.
Who'd you shoot in there?
There's an old lady
in there making biscuits.
Go get one guys.
[Zee] I'm not going in there.
You're fucked in the head, dude.
[Kicker] There are
three pickups back there.
Should be enough to
fill up a full tank of gas.
All right.
Fuckface and I, we get the
generators. Sound like a plan?
Let's just fucking get it done.
Let's fucking roll, dude. Come on.
Cops.
Morning. How y'all doing?
What we got in the sack scumbag?
Hey, hey, hey, hey. You don't know us.
There's no reason for you
to insult my lady friend here.
Ha, ladies, is that what you call these.
Lorelei.
More like mutants, to me.
I ain't seen y'all before.
We're just scavenging, all right?
There's not that much
left where we come from.
Scavenging? That bag's full of food?
Sure there's not a severed
head in there or some shit?
(Peaches hitting the ground)
Fuck me, that's a lot of peaches.
They're nectarines.
Where y'all coming from?
Why? Is it illegal to pick peaches now?
It's getting close to town is all.
People might get the wrong idea.
What idea is that?
[Lorelei] That y'all are fucking scum?
Lorelei.
Zeros.
And these bitches you're
with look like a pair of witches.
[Damon] We're just picking peaches.
[Elton] What's your name, sir?
My name is Damon.
Damon, I'm sorry that we
troubled y'all this morning.
Y'all get back to your peaches, okay?
Thank you officer.
(Alice grunting)
What the
- fuck is your problem?
- Hey, hey.
Lorelei.
Hey, hey, hey, we worked
really hard for these, okay.
Alice is just kind of protective.
[Elton] Lorelei put it away.
Lorelei put it away.
She fucking, she fucking clawed me.
[Elton] Put it away.
Alice, Alice, Alice. Easy.
Put it down.
Alice. Ah, Alice, Alice, Alice.
(growls)
Ah, huh, easy, easy.
Come on, we gotta get home
before it gets dark, Alice. Huh?
Y'all gotta drive ahead of you?
Not very far. No.
Y'all be careful.
You too.
[Lorelei] Just remember
you'd all be fucking dead
if it was up to me.
Fucking remember it.
[Elton] Get in the car.
You're embarrassing me.
[Lorelei] Fuck you.
[Elton] What are you doing?
[Lorelei] What the fuck am
I doing? What are you doing?
(dramatic music)
(Bodies dragging)
[Kicker] I'm telling you,
Toby, don't look at me.
I'm gonna punch you in
the dick, dude, I swear.
[Toby] Why don't you
suck it while you're at it?
Well, how'd it go last night?
It went good. We got,
got two, little bit of gas.
I don't know why we
need to go in the houses.
We could take 'em without killing people.
It ain't gonna make
any fucking difference
whether we kill 'em or not, Tobe.
Well, I don't like the
fucking anxiety of it, Kick.
I don't know if you've
been looking around,
but I'm the one doing all the killing.
All the brains flying
out in the air. That's me.
Stay in your fucking lane
and let me do my shit, okay?
I've been doing this a
long time, man. Long time.
You're gonna kill the
wrong fucking person.
Put a target on all our backs.
Oh, tough guy character, huh? That's new.
Are you trying to be
tough around her, is that it?
Because you're playing
a shit job at it, as swipe.
And gee, I wonder why my
fucking ankle hurts so bad.
Maybe 'cause it's not the
fucking pussy boy sitting back
and watching me get bit by a fucking mutt.
Man, I don't care how
y'all fucking do it, all right?
I don't care about the order of events.
Whatever fucking
extracurricular shit you wanna do,
just bring me my fucking generators.
Everything will be hunky
dory. What about you, girl?
Used to the taste of gasoline yet?
I'm just happy to have a place to go
where the lights are on.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
See that, fucking gratitude.
Fuck your gratitude.
Bitch, fuck your attitude.
She's a bitch. You're,
you're worse though.
I fucking hate you.
Don't fucking look at
me, bro. I'm telling you.
Get those fucking creepy eyes away from me.
I'll look at you however
much I fucking want to.
You have a really
fucking big and ugly nose.
I just noticed.
Look like a fucking anteater over there.
You're lucky I don't
throw this fucking thing
at you right now.
[Kicker] Oh, a thing, thing.
When you learn that in
first, first grade spelling bee?
Yeah, I won it too.
(insects chirping)
Dad, we need to talk.
Paul and Saul are dead.
Fuckers at the market blew
their goddamn heads off.
Dammit.
We should go right now.
There's only three of 'em.
And one of them is an old lady.
We already poisoned the dogs.
Be while before they can replace 'em.
[Peter] We can't just
let them kill us like this.
Leave me alone.
Maybe we should tell Alice?
Don't you bother her with this.
She had no attachment to those two.
Oh, well fuck, if Alice
feels no attachment
then we shouldn't, right?
Fuckin' a, let's go
speak to our Oracle Alice.
(gentle music)
(men laughing)
Whoo.
Whoo hoo hoo.
Whoo.
Okay. Go get a tank and the hose.
Are you crazy? Those guys'll kill us.
(men chattering)
Yeah, you see those fuckers Kick?
What are they gonna
do? Slap us with their dicks?
Come on man. Let's go, let's go.
It's easy. Just fucking
real quick, real quick.
In and out, in and out. So
come on, you got it, you got it.
Almost there.
(shotgun pumps)
Oh shit.
(insects calling)
What's up baby nephew?
Hey Aunt Rita.
Yeah, I bet the fucking
girls chase after you, huh?
[David] Not hardly.
Well, what you want?
I know you didn't come all the way out here
to shoot the shit.
You think I could get some oxys?
Get some oxys? Yeah.
You gotta kiss me right here. Come on.
I'm just playing. Don't
let your dad find out.
I'm not trying to have him ride my ass.
I won't get caught.
Uh-huh, towel.
Missed you.
[David] Yeah. Thanks Aunt Rita.
Mm-hmm. Thanks Aunt Rita.
It's not water, it's moonshine.
(Pills clatter)
What the fuck are you boys?
(gun banging)
[Toby] Holy shit, Zee.
No. Good for you girl.
[Man] Hey. What the
fuck's going on down there?
Better pop back or I'll cut your d...
(gun banging)
(suspenseful music)
Yeah. Whoo!
Get fucked! Get fucked!
Kicker's back baby. Back baby.
(suspenseful music continues)
Oh, I know that looked so badass.
If any more of us get
sick, we might have to move.
I mean, even gasoline
is getting in short supply.
We'll be able to eat
as long as we can hunt.
But I wouldn't mind being
a little further from town.
I hate running into cops.
I'm not going anywhere. You will ruin us.
It's getting hard to live, Mama.
They will have to drag me away from here.
This is our home.
If we leave here, we'll all die, I saw it.
I won't let anything happen to us.
You're a coward. That's why we suffer.
(insects chirping)
Wake him up.
No. Hell no, hell no.
Fucking pussies.
Hey pops.
Oh Jesus. Fuck.
How you feeling?
Oh, I've been better.
But then again, I've been worse.
Why is it when Rita wakes you up,
you're all nice and peaceful.
Big bro and I do it, you look
like you're about to kill us.
Because your sister's
a goddamn sweetheart.
Aw, I know you are, but what am I?
So, uh, what's this?
I got a new client.
Feels like a good one.
Yes. Some military boys.
I think it might be a
big deal for all of us.
What are they doing around here?
'Cause the sons of bitches
come wherever the scum is the worst.
It's just a matter of time.
Yo, uh, Rita, you think,
um, pull a few strings
and they'd let old boy join up?
Nah. You're too fucking stupid.
They get one whiff of how annoying you are,
they'll leave your ass
on the side of the road.
She's right.
It's bad enough we got
a guardian in the family.
Rita's the only one that
got any fucking sense.
Oh, thanks Dad.
All right guys, listen,
thanks a lot for stopping
by and checking on me.
Take care, old man.
Hey, maybe get up and
walk around this week,
you know, with some vitamin D.
Yeah, that's just what I'll do.
Stay outta trouble, Kick.
You know I thought you'd
know it by now, big bro,
I am the trouble.
Listen, you're the oldest,
and whether you believe it
or not, they look up to you.
You're about all they got
left in this fucking world.
Rita, my leg fucking hurts.
We got you.
Ah, bullshit.
I'm running on fumes. Goddamn it.
I can see the end, but
I tell you what though,
it don't seem all that bad, really.
How much you want for it?
[Georgia] What's that?
The car. El Camino,
how much you want for it?
It ain't for sale. My
daddy had one just like it.
What does that mean?
Reminds me of when I was a kid.
Listen, that car's a piece of shit.
It's got blood all over it.
[Georgia] Heck, that
sounds like you half the time.
Fuck you. You don't care about that car.
Don't get all upset baby.
Listen, I would do anything for that car.
You might just change my mind yet.
(tires squealing)
[Zee] Kicker!
Occupied. Don't come in here, I'm naked.
My twinkies's out of the wrapper.
[Zee] Toby's waiting in the Jeep.
Tell him to fucking chill,
he's gonna wake up Rita.
I don't think she's gonna wake up.
Can I just have some privacy please?
Fucking pooch.
(growling)
(laughs)
(sobbing)
Take a picture of me.
Take a picture of me.
Cheese.
[Dad] That's a good one.
[Mom] Tell the camera
what happened to your head.
Um, I, um, oh.
(baby babbling)
Um, I got on a donkey and, and, um,
I falled off.
[Dad] You did?
On the stupid rock.
[Dad] Oh man,
And it squawked and cracked.
[Mom] Cracked?
Like this. Crack.
[Mom] Did you cry when it happened?
No.
No?
No.
You didn't cry?
Uh-uh. I just got back on.
You did?
(Kicker panting)
I can't. I don't know
what's wrong with me.
I, I, I can't walk. I, I can't see.
I don't, please, I, I'm
not, I don't, I don't know.
I'm not well, I'm.
You need to sit down bud.
[Kicker] I'm, I'm, I'm not well, I, I.
- Sit down.
- I'm not well, I.
What's wrong with him?
I bet he's got a fever
from that dog bite.
It's infected pretty bad.
I'm not, I'm not. I'm not, I'm not.
I can't.
- He's faking it.
- Come on.
Probably just got into my PCP.
Oh yeah. Why though?
I can't fucking see, I
can't fucking. (Screaming)
(screaming)
(splashing)
Get the fuck off me, get the fuck off me!
Dude, chill the fuck out
before I break your fucking jaw.
[Toby] Fuck, he's got the rabies.
[Zee] Kicker, get up.
Throw him in the shed.
Give him a bowl of water.
[Kicker] Get the fuck.
[Toby] What?
You fucking heard me man.
We can't have no hallucinating
teen wolf run around here.
We got shit to do.
[Zee] He's your brother.
Bitch, shut the fuck up
fore I lock you in there too.
[Kicker] It fucking hurts.
Fuck!
(grunts)
- Fuck, fuck.
- Get up.
[Kicker] Fuck.
[Zee] Hurry, open it.
(panting)
(hose spraying)
(truck idling)
Howdy neighbor.
Hey, there's that motherfucker, huh?
Yeah, it is. I feel like I
know you from somewhere.
Maybe. What are you boys up to?
Whoo. Now that is a
nice vehicle you got there.
Hell yeah it is. Be even
nicer once I get it cleaned up.
[Peter] What's wrong with it?
Mm, some old boy
got his brains blowed out
on the inside of it, you know.
Makes a little bit of a mess.
Is that right? And,
uh, where are they now?
What you mean like heaven or some shit?
No, you simple bitch,
where are the bodies at?
Well, cremation same as
everybody gets around here.
You know what,
you got something real bad coming your way.
Probably.
(rock hits fence)
Ooh ho. Woof.
It's a whole lot of fun though, ain't it?
Uh-huh, tell you what,
why don't you back your bitch ass up.
Or I come over this
motherfucking wall, huh?
Come on over. Anytime, anytime.
Come on.
Yeah, anytime motherfucker. Anytime.
I will be enjoying my
car over there though.
Yes, please drive your busted-ass truck
back to wherever the fuck you came from.
[Simon] Be seeing you.
Oh, okay. Well, until that fine day, sir.
[Peter] Let's get the fuck outta here.
Miss you already.
Yeah, I bet you do.
(truck engine revs)
(atonal heavy metal music)
Have you ever listened to God's silence
(Kicker growling)
(singer yelling)
(noise rock continues)
He's gonna be fine. He's
got a freak immune system.
One time, we thought he
was real sick on his death bed,
and he just fucking popped right up.
Yeah. I don't think
you just get over rabies.
You have to get a shot
or else you might get lockjaw or some shit.
Probably gonna gnaw his own leg off.
Oh yeah. Is that your prognosis, doctor?
You ever seen anybody with fucking rabies?
Not a person, but my uncle's dog had it.
We had to bury that motherfucker alive.
[Zee] Oh my God.
Man, shut the fuck up.
You don't know nothing.
Nobody come knock on my
door. I'm fucking drinking tonight.
[Zee] He's gonna die, isn't he?
No shit.
She doesn't even care.
She don't. But there's
not much we can do about it.
(Kick growling and coughing)
Fuck. You're gonna be all right Kick.
You got everything you need here.
You're just a little sick.
You're gonna be okay.
(Kicker snarling)
You're a fucking piece of work.
But you're the best friend I had here.
I should have fucking done more.
(door rattling)
(birds chirping)
I remember coming here for Easter.
Mom used to make me dress up.
Kind of miss it in a weird way.
She used to love going to church.
It was me that wouldn't go.
She used to beg me to, but,
I didn't go.
She'd hate the way the world is now.
Can't even picture her living in it.
She would've been okay. Better than me.
She was tough like you.
I miss her. Miss the old house.
You remember that place?
Yeah.
[Elton] Remember how to get out there?
Yeah. Like the back of my hand.
(laughs) We'll go back together.
We'll walk through all of it.
Be out in a minute.
(suspenseful music)
I hope you know what you're doing.
(dramatic music)
[Georgia] What can I get you?
Hey, Georgia, is my
pretty little nephew in there?
[Georgia] Oh hey, Rita.
Yeah. I'll send him out.
Thank you.
Hey cutie pie. We need to talk.
About what?
She hear us in there?
No.
I got a job for you, but it doesn't pay
so I'm just blackmailing you.
[David] What are you talking about?
I got a new military contract.
They want more generators than I got.
And I know y'all got a shit-ton in there.
I'm not doing anything illegal.
I'll make it worth your while later.
Look, we might as well take 'em
while we can get something out of it.
'Cause they're gonna
come after 'em eventually.
They know they're around.
They got all the firepower.
They always take what they want.
I'm not looking to get in any trouble.
Look, the way I see it,
you're already in trouble.
I know you don't want
your bleeding heart daddy
to find out that his precious son
that he loves more
than anything in the world
is nothing but a piece of shit pill head.
[David] I'm not a pill head.
And you're buying from his little sister.
Whoo, that break his heart.
Are you really that
big of a piece of shit?
Through and through baby. You in or what?
Shake on it. Come on,
you gotta shake on it.
All right, I'm in. What do you need?
We'll be here tonight.
You just gotta let us in.
They'll know it was me.
I'll make sure you're taken care of.
I'll see ya.
(Kicker snarling)
This is the scariest
thing I've ever heard.
I don't know how much
longer he's gonna last in there.
I sprayed some water in
there for him a little while ago.
But he didn't seem to notice.
I gotta go take a piss.
Can't listen to this fucking shit anymore.
(Kicker snarling and growling)
(suspenseful music)
Maybe it's time to let the
market go. Do something else.
It's kind of a target right now.
Yeah, I don't know. It's not that bad.
I got a lot of security. Plus I got Caleb.
Caleb's a psychopath.
Yeah, and he's getting worse.
Shot those dudes the other day
like he was having the time of his life.
If it gets to be too much, lemme know.
Don't worry about me. I got it covered.
Where else am I gonna
make this kind of money?
Not worth getting killed over.
Yeah. You worry too much.
Gonna go back and take a
nap fore I gotta go back to work.
Finish this up tomorrow.
Yeah.
I love you kid.
[David] Love you.
(equipment banging)
There you go.
[Rita] Boys done yet?
This is the last one.
(equipment clattering)
Dude, quit your moping. Trust me.
One of these days, you're gonna thank me.
Fucking cry baby.
No, no, no, no, no!
(alarm blaring)
Shit. You little fucker.
(pipe thuds)
Start the truck! Get him in.
Are you okay?
(discordant metal music)
One night my mother
woke me to look at the stars.
(Kicker growling)
You know, you might
end up being the lucky one
little brother.
This whole world's going to shit.
I guess you're just gonna die now, huh?
(Kicker snarling)
I'm sorry. I don't know what else to do.
I don't know anyone who would.
Elton sure as shit couldn't
handle anything this fucked up.
He's always looking for
a fucking reason to quit.
Fucking pussy.
Not you and me though, huh? We got grit.
You know, you'd think this is pretty funny
if it wasn't happening to you.
(Kicker snarling and growling)
I'll miss you little brother.
Hello? David?
Cute little fucking
grasshopper over here.
Look alive here.
They cleared us out.
Took all our generators.
Had to be fucking scum.
[Elton] Where's David?
That's what I was gonna ask you.
He was the only one working last night.
David's straight as a fucking
arrow. He wouldn't do this.
All I know, is I got robbed,
and your son was the only one around.
He didn't make it home last night.
He could be hurt somewhere.
You should be looking for
my shit, not your fricking kid.
Shut up.
We'll find your generators
and get 'em back to you, okay?
Got my word.
You better pray to God
you find your boy before I do.
You better watch what you say to me.
Headed to your house?
No, lose your gear.
We're going to Rita's.
Fuck.
Don't need my fucking gun
when I got these hands, baby.
Yeah, I don't want you antagonizing her.
You want one of these?
Sure.
Psych bitch. You think I'm
gonna get you anything anymore?
The fuck are you thinking?
You can keep your mouth shut
when there's something in it for you, huh?
What are we gonna do with him?
We gotta fucking keep him here
until we move those generators.
Y'all got away fine. Just
let me go, I won't say shit.
Oh really? I can trust you now?
Get the fuck outta here.
Maybe you ought to wait in the car.
Hah, fuck that. I'm going with you.
I'm not scared of that bitch.
I didn't say you were scared of her.
You two just fight all the time.
Hell, well that's not my fucking fault.
I'm sorry she's your sister,
but you know it's fucking true.
I just need to find him. So play nice.
I'm always nice.
Your dad's here.
[Toby] What the fuck
are we supposed to do?
If he moves or makes
a sound just shoot him.
[Zee] Oh God.
What's up big bro?
(laughs)
I see you're still rocking that camel toe.
Yeah, I still see you got
a fat ass fucking mouth.
All the better to eat you with
when I run out of food, bitch.
I told you it wasn't my fucking fault.
Man, she's still mad
'cause I stole her
boyfriend in high school.
You believe that? Man, Mikey's
been dead a long time, girl.
You should probably get over that shit.
Yeah, everybody's fucking dead, dummy.
Market got hit last night.
David's up and missing.
[Rita] Fuck, shouldn't
you be out looking for him?
Nothing happens around
here without you knowing about it.
Who did it?
Scum, I imagine. I mean,
they've been sneaking into town.
We'll probably be overrun
by them before you know it.
What would they want with David?
Shit, I don't know.
I mean, sorry to tell you big brother,
but he got a pretty mouth and
a tight ass, you do the math.
You better keep the
pressure on that fucking thing.
Want some water or something?
[David] No, thank you.
She's really filling
them full of shit out there.
I think we should get the fuck outta here.
What do you think, Zee?
Yeah.
You guys can't leave
me here alone with Rita.
Are you fucking buying this fucking shit?
We know you're lying, cunt,
so just tell us where the fuck he is.
I actually don't know shit, bitch,
so why don't you get back
in your fucking Mom's minivan
and get the fuck off my porch.
Is this what we're fucking doing?
Yeah, bitch, you wanna hit me? Come on.
[Elton] Lorelei, get in the car.
Lorelei get in the car.
Fucking lucky he's your brother.
Bitch.
I'll be there in a minute.
(Kicker growling)
What's that?
Uh, Kicker caught a coyote,
thinks he can make it his pet.
Sounds like there's
something wrong with it.
[Rita] Yeah, probably there is.
I don't care about any generators.
I just wanna find my boy. Please.
I don't know anything, big brother.
But if I hear something, I'll let you know.
Should get her lame ass
outta here before I fuck her up.
[Elton] He's your nephew.
I know.
Guess I'll see you at dad's.
That's today? Man,
Kick shut that mutt up!
Fuck!
I gotta run by granddad's.
Fuck are we supposed to do with him?
Dad's not an idiot. He
knows I'm here, he'll be back.
Yeah. Well he ain't as smart as me.
And now I got time to think.
Well, I can't hold this
fucking gun on him forever.
Put him in the shed with Kicker.
[Toby] You fucking serious?
[Zee] No.
What? I'm not going in there.
Oh the fuck you're not.
(pistol thuds)
[Toby] Fuck.
I'll get his legs, we gotta
fucking take him back there.
Did you see Alice
burying that dead rabbit
with a car battery this morning?
No, but I believe it.
I'm pretty sure she's the one
leaving those dead mice outside my tent.
Bitch is crazy.
Fucking A, man.
You know, I don't know what rock
dad drug her out from under.
[Simon] Me neither.
[Peter] I like to bust up in
this motherfucker right now.
Mm-mm, you know Dad won't like that.
He'll kick your ass
and he'll beat my ass for knowing about it.
Well, better be soon.
(cicadas droning)
You know how to swim?
Do I know how to swim?
Mm-hmm.
Yeah, you don't?
[Rita] No, I do, just making sure you do.
How long do you
think he's been like this?
Who knows? I don't know
what he was hanging on for.
He quit when mom died,
sitting in his chair like this,
letting his kids watch
him turn into a shell.
It's fucking pathetic.
Rita.
Man, I hate this fucking
place. I always have.
We had some good times here.
Speak for yourself.
Why does it seem like nothing gets better?
They say life's supposed
to have its ups and downs,
but for our family it never
seems to go back up.
Why do you think that is?
[Elton] I don't know.
I miss Mom.
(suspenseful music)
I'll be seeing you.
(fire roaring)
(suspenseful music continues)
(Kicker snarling)
(dog bowl clanks)
(panting)
(suspenseful music continues)
(banging)
[Zee] Is he dead? Is Kicker dead?
I think so. He was gonna fucking kill me.
I couldn't stop hitting him.
We're getting the fuck outta here!
And you're coming with us.
I didn't want to kill him.
[Toby] Come on.
[Zee] Just come on.
(truck engine revs)
I don't understand why we're
always burying our own people
so far away from camp.
[Damon] 'Cause I don't
want the children to see it.
[Alice] It might do them some good.
Yeah, for once. I agree with her.
These two were poisoned.
Now I think the water at the market's bad.
Some of the women are worried
about the baby formula too.
I am just waiting for
the right moment to act.
Sure you are, Dad.
And they're just gonna keep killing us off
one by one slowly.
(Damon grunts)
Your sons are starving to
death and you do nothing.
Wake up. They are killing us.
(Alice panting)
(gargles)
(dramatic music)
We'll head out in the morning.
(gasping)
Hey, y'all, where's that truck?
(dramatic music continues)
Pop that gate.
Whoo.
All right boys, check cashing time.
What the fuck is this?
[Simon] Well, it's the end motherfucker.
We've been trying to reach you
about your car's extended warranty.
Y'all got beer in there?
[Caleb] All kinds.
But y'all gotta get the
fuck outta here now.
How about this, you put down your weapon,
come with us.
Hell, we even let you drive the El Camino.
All right, boys, I mean,
I didn't even really wanna
work here anymore anyways, so.
Mess him up.
Counselor!
(body thudding)
(stomping and grunting)
Bring the old woman to me.
Your rock bottom is my Saturday night
(Georgia squealing)
Put me down.
What are you doing? Stop!
Stop it, put me down.
Fuckers! Stop!
Stop!
(discordant metal music)
You already took everything I got.
What the fuck else do you want?
We haven't stolen from you.
And you killed two of our people.
That's their vehicle right there.
Those old boys pulled a gun on us.
It, it was self defense.
Load the trucks.
You can't do that.
We have laws around here.
Where's the other kid that works here?
I don't know. I think he's
the one that robbed me.
Who is he?
Just a kid, he was the cop's son.
Wait!
Wait. No, don't.
[Peter] Ssh.
(gun bangs)
What are you still doing
in here? Any sign of David?
No.
Let's get out of here then.
You ever go to church?
Yeah. You think I wanna to go to hell?
I don't think I went enough.
Nah, you're probably fine, man.
God is not in places like these.
Right here, with you always.
What planet are you from?
Midwest City. Come
on, let's get out of here.
Come on.
(truck rattling)
(knocking)
Oh shit. Fuck.
Who is it?
[Ivan] It's Ivan.
Oh, hold your shit in.
You all right, ma'am?
What does it look like?
(gagging)
[Ivan] Now, if you just
show me where they are
and my team can load 'em up.
They're not here anymore.
They're not here? What happened?
We stole 'em from the market,
and then my crew stole 'em from me.
[Ivan] How'd you let this happen?
Well, if you need to know the details.
My dad died yesterday, and
while I was dealing with that,
they bashed my brother's
skull in and took them.
I'm sorry, ma'am.
Do I look like a ma'am to you?
What kind of vehicle were they in?
It's a blue truck full of
generators. You can't miss it.
Fucking idiots.
We'll find them.
Hang on. I'm coming with you.
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
Thanks for the ride.
Hey, I'm gonna go by the
market. See if I see David.
He's never disappeared like this.
[Lorelei] I know. I'm sure he's fine.
I won't be in tomorrow.
(solemn music)
Hey, we'll find him.
(solemn music continues)
(truck engine revving)
[Simon] All right,
come and get it, family.
[Simon] Who wants this? Where you at?
Here we go.
(solemn music continues)
Thank you.
[Simon] Okay, huh? Right on.
(solemn music continues)
This is some fucking shit.
Holy shit.
Hey.
Whoa.
You have a gun?
What the fuck?
- Hey, can you take me home?
- Stay the fuck back!
(gun banging)
Oh. (Laughs)
(dramatic music)
(dramatic music continues)
(singer vocalizing)
(grunting)
[Peter] Sorry dad.
(dramatic music continues)
(truck engine rattling)
Fuck. Fucking head hurts.
Feels like I got hit by a train.
I'm sorry about your
dad and your brother.
Well, it's kind of dumb
to give condolences
when most the world is dead.
Well, I'm sorry anyway.
My dad, we kind of saw that shit coming.
And Kick, I guess it
was just a matter of time.
Surprised he lasted this
long. A reckless little fucker.
Used to be a real sweet kid though.
(air brakes hissing)
I got it.
You sure you wanna go north?
My nephew's cute, but he ain't sharp.
My brother's old place is the
only other spot David knows.
He'll be there.
Well, they'd be insane to go south.
Everybody left is insane.
I'm gonna go throw up real quick.
Rita! Get the fuck out here.
I know you're fucking in there
you Miley Cyrus motherfucker.
Rita! What the fuck!
Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.
Oh my God. Kick you crazy fucker.
I gotta move you. I gotta get you out.
I'm gonna get you to the
fucking car, you hear me?
I'm gonna get you to the fucking car.
I'm gonna get you to the car. Come on Kick!
I'm gonna get you fucking car.
I'm gonna get you, I'm gonna
get you to the fucking car.
Fuck! (Grunting)
I can't, can't get you.
Come on. God, come on!
Fuck!
Fuck. (Grunting)
I, um, I gave him a quick once over
before you guys got here.
And it looks like he had
rabies for a couple of days.
[Elton] Rabies.
Rabies.
I didn't know people got rabies.
Rabies is more common
than you'd think. People get it.
Who would've done this?
I don't.
In the old days I could
have done an autopsy but.
I don't need an
autopsy, he's beat to hell.
Ah, Kick. I'm sorry.
Alice says that cop is
headed north looking for his kid.
How the fuck can she possibly know that?
She just knows.
All right, she can, you
know, feel it or something.
Well, that's some spooky shit.
It's bullshit if you ask me.
Just gather up some guys and let's go.
Alice will, you know, sniff 'em out.
Wait, she's coming with us?
Fuck.
Dad, are you absolutely positive
you want to drive all over bum fucked Egypt
wasting resources for one cop?
Just get your stuff
together and let's go.
You, are you gonna drive then?
(children chattering)
Oh my goodness. Who is this?
Give that Easter Bunny one on the lips.
[Mom] Oh, kisses.
[Zee] Where are we gonna go?
I'll just drive until y'all
tell me where to turn.
We can go to my dad's old place,
it's just outside of McLoud.
McLoud. Are you fucking crazy?
[Zee] Yeah, we can't go there.
It's the only place my dad
will know where to find me.
Can't believe that fucker bit me.
You know he had rabies, right?
- Toby stop.
- What?
Yeah.
You're gonna be fine.
Fucking rabies?
He needs a hospital.
All that's back there, girl.
There ain't no hospitals where we're going.
(insects calling)
Wait here.
Howdy, looking for some gas.
I'm a cop. No reason to get excited.
How we know you're a cop motherfucker,
ain't nobody shit round here.
You know, I'd be careful traveling around
with the lady here.
Liable to get yourself into some trouble.
Oh yeah. How's that?
Let's just say people
around here eat her right up.
Well, they don't know her.
Hey, what the fuck are
these assholes saying?
You want some gas or what?
[Elton] That sounds good. How much?
Oh, take three of those to fill 'er up.
So a thousand bucks.
Oh, I don't have that kind of money.
Well, it's a long way to the next one,
and uh, what you say
you leave that lady with us
and we let you have it for 500.
Well, I can't do that.
Shouldn't have come
around here motherfucker.
(fists thudding)
Elton, calm the fuck down!
(fists thudding)
Motherfuck.
(boots thudding)
(dramatic music)
(gun bangs)
Guys, I see a couple
trucks up on that hill.
(Alice screaming)
(guns banging)
Contact!
(guns banging)
Fatigue and emptiness.
(dramatic music)
My hands are jealously
Someone else's
But I can have what's left
I'm still stuck in traffic
For years
Need to get you cleaned
up. Does the house have water?
No. There's a creek.
I don't know if this is such a good idea.
Anybody driving by out
there is gonna see us.
We'll have to be real careful.
We'll have to be careful anywhere.
I don't know where else to go, do you?
Fuck no. I'm just saying.
This is all fucked, I
mean, we're all fucked.
My neck's on fire.
Shit.
I'm going to get some water.
Just out back. You'll see it.
Who you suppose that is?
Runs like a girl.
(water splashing)
(gun bangs)
Fucking know we're driving straight into
the scummiest place on
the fucking planet, right?
It's the only place he knows though.
It's not much further.
Hey, that's military. This was an ambush.
Looks like they were
fired on from back there.
Fuck, we should get
the fuck outta here, dude.
[Elton] No, let's look around.
That's Rita.
[Lorelei] Fuck me. Motherfucker.
Rita. Hey Rita, don't be dead, Rita.
[Rita] I'm not dead.
[Lorelei] Fucking shit.
What happened?
What's it fucking look like?
I got shot in the fucking back.
[Lorelei] Oh fuck.
[Elton] Can you walk?
No I can't fucking walk. I
can't feel my fucking legs.
I can't feel anything.
Was it fucking scum?
Yeah, it was that leader's old lady.
They thought I was dead
and I heard them talking.
They're looking for y'all.
And they're looking for David.
Gotta get her outta here.
Okay. They could be fucking anywhere.
We can't go back to your old place tonight.
No, we'll find somewhere.
Get her patched up.
Elton, just fucking shoot me.
Just fucking shoot me, man.
You know I can't be helpless like this.
Just fucking shoot me.
Please just fucking shoot me.
Come on.
Help me get her up.
(dramatic music)
I'm gonna do a mean face.
(dad laughing)
I don't know why I'm shaking so bad.
It's just the fever.
Here, don't drink too much of this.
Can I have a blanket?
No. You're still too warm.
Gimme that booze.
Get some ice in that tub.
You kill the fever. You kill the rabies.
He doesn't have rabies, Toby, shut up!
Well, he got bit by
Kicker who had the rabies.
Just go away. You're
not helping anything.
All right, I'll get back
to watching the road.
Don't listen to him, David.
As soon as the fever
goes down, you'll be fine.
Did your mom live here too?
Yeah. She used to sing to me.
I don't remember what
song it was, but I miss her.
I'm sorry.
Will you let me know
when my dad gets here?
Yeah, I sure will.
(suspenseful music)
(singer vocalizing)
(suspenseful music continues)
(singer snarling)
Lorelei, there's a
place up here on the right.
I'll go looking for David in the morning.
Hey. Hey Elton.
[Elton] Yeah.
You cold?
Yeah. I'm, I'm cold, sis.
(can opening)
They got a shit ton of food
in this place. Want some?
I'm not hungry.
You should eat anyway.
I can't believe no
one's hit this place yet.
It's like it's been frozen in time.
[Zee] Has anyone passed by?
No, no, I haven't seen
anyone. How's he doing?
He's asleep. His fever's pretty high.
He's gonna start
freaking out pretty soon.
Just like Kicker. Rabies
is fucking hardcore.
[Zee] Yeah.
[Toby] Don't let him bite you.
He's not gonna bite me.
You know we're just
gonna have to shoot him
in the end, right?
Yeah, I know.
(insects calling)
[Lorelei] How is she doing?
[Elton] She's asleep.
No I'm not.
Hey, Rita. What happened with Kick?
He got bit by a coyote.
After a while he just
started acting all crazy.
And I just blanked. I didn't have a plan.
Couldn't come up with any ideas.
So I just had the kids throw
him in the shed like a dog.
What about David? Was
he part of that robbery?
Don't lie to me.
Yeah, I made him do it.
But he pulled the alarm.
It made me so mad.
So I had them throw him
in the shed with Kicker.
I just wanted to scare him.
I'm so sorry.
I fucked up. I fucked up.
I'm so sorry.
I'm fucking so sorry, Kick.
Fuck. (Sobbing)
(solemn music)
(sobbing)
Well, I think they're dead.
Why would they shoot
one and bludgeon another?
Mm-mm, how are we supposed to know?
It, it doesn't make any sense to me.
It really bothers me, if
you want to know the truth.
Maybe they did it.
To each other.
If they killed each other,
where are the weapons?
I don't fucking know. It was somewhere.
Just shut up.
These old boys
don't look like they did
nothing to deserve this.
(insects calling)
(flies buzzing)
[Toby] He doing all right?
No, he started clawing
at himself a little bit.
I heard him hollering
in the night, just like Kick.
We should get outta here
before they come and find us.
We can't leave him here.
He still knows what's going
on. He just talked to me.
You and I both know
what he's heading for.
Yeah, I know.
You should stay outta that bathroom too.
He's too weak to hurt
anyone. I'm not afraid.
I'm leaving here tonight.
As soon as it gets dark,
I'll leave you the truck.
Sorry, I just can't stay here anymore.
Well, I'm not leaving him alone.
He wouldn't leave me by myself.
Now, how do you know that?
Cause I just know.
You should just come
with me. You'll die out here.
I appreciate you leaving me the truck.
Of course. I ain't turned scum yet.
(wind howling)
[Elton] This used to be a nice town.
Everything's fucking picked through, man.
Yeah. Hey you hear that?
No.
My ears are still kind of
fucked from shooting that guy.
(dogs barking)
(truck engines rumbling)
We'll keep looking. There's
food and medicine here.
I'm sure of it.
Let's fucking go then.
I counted six, seven, maybe.
Fuck.
Armed.
Listen, why don't you go
back to the RV with Rita?
No, man, that's just gonna piss her off.
She'd rather be alone.
She's not gonna fucking want me there, man.
Don't get your fucking self killed
and leave me alone with her, okay?
You guys can talk about boys
or shared trauma or something.
Oh my fucking God.
Hey, be careful.
[Lorelei] You too.
(RV door opening)
Just me.
God fucking kill me.
Got any orders for me?
Orders? Yeah, just
leave me the fuck alone.
Why the fuck are you so
fucking hard all the time?
I'm not hard. I'm just
surrounded by idiots.
Speaking of, I never touched
your fucking lame ass boyfriend.
Yeah, okay. Huh.
He just made that shit up to look cool.
Yeah. Well, you're a liar, so.
What reason do I have to lie now?
Why'd you go along with it then?
Why'd you fucking hate me so much?
It just made me so mad.
Everyone would just believe that shit
and not fucking ask me.
I just thought, fuck all y'all.
Yeah, well, you never did anything
to make us believe any different, so.
You gonna believe
what you want to believe.
Who gives a shit? I'm
fucking dying anyways.
Don't fucking say that.
Can you get something
to wipe my eyes with?
Yeah.
Use my shirt.
How's that?
Don't fucking touch me.
[Lorelei] Okay.
Just the dusty-ass trailer.
[Scumbag] We're not
gonna find that little shit in here.
[Scumbag] Smell that?
Something died in here.
I don't smell anything.
(knife slashes)
(scum grunting)
(blood splatters)
(knife plunges)
You all the ones killed
those folks at the market?
That you?
Me? Do I look like somebody
that'd do something like that?
Maybe some of my boys might know.
I mean, hell, maybe he will.
Hey.
Stay back. Stay back.
You smell good. Simon,
why does he smell good?
(elbow thuds)
(gun clicks)
All right.
Get over there.
(Peter grunting and coughing)
Be seeing you, boss.
Ah, I don't wanna talk about it.
You boys mess with the big
dog, you're lucky to be alive.
[Dad] What do you think
of this place? You show me.
What are you doing?
Picking blackberries.
(suspenseful music)
(water splashing)
Where's my dad?
I don't know.
He should have been here by now.
He'll be here soon.
(truck engine rumbling)
Toby?
Phil. Robert, get that fucking door.
We know you're in there!
Go back in the bathroom.
They're coming in here.
(gun clicks)
(Toby panting)
(suspenseful music)
[Toby] You stupid motherfuckers!
(guns banging)
Fuck you! You bastards!
(dramatic music)
(boots thudding)
(guns banging)
(gunfire echoing)
[Simon] Fuck them.
[Zee] Stop. (Screaming) Stop!
[Man] Quit struggling.
String his ass up.
[Zee] Put me down!
[Man] Gonna miss the show!
[Zee] (sobbing) Stop!
Stop!
[Alice] Leave the girl.
No one touches the girl.
Leave the gi? No one touch?
Alice, are you kidding me?
No one touches this girl!
She didn't ask for any of this.
Dad.
She didn't do anything to deserve this.
She's just trying to survive
just like the rest of us.
But she's doing a better
job of it. No one touches her.
Go, now. Get the boy's father.
Get to town now!
Now! Who died and made you king, huh?
Go now!
Enough, it's over. She stays.
We're leaving.
Now. Now!
You stay there and watch.
Stop!
Stop! Don't! (Sobbing)
(suspenseful music)
Okay, Rita, we gotta get you up, okay?
Not gonna get bed sores.
I'm not gonna let you
die like fucking Kicker.
Oh god. Okay.
Let's have ourselves
a little girl's day, okay?
[David] You want me to cut your hair?
[Elton] No. I think I look pretty.
Don't worry about it.
We had to kill two men yesterday.
One of 'em was sick. They had money.
They just wanted medicine.
We don't have any more.
People are desperate.
They're on the move.
How's granddad?
He's old. He's tired.
Rita have her dress on?
[Elton] You know she did.
Dressed up like she's
going to Sunday School.
[David] She's crazy.
Nah, she's something different.
She's dangerous. Don't let
her fool you, you hear me?
What are we gonna do?
I feel like everything
just keeps getting worse.
We'll get by. Ain't got no choice.
(suspenseful music)
(suspenseful music continues)
(rope creaking)
Oh, oh, oh, no.
Oh. Oh my god.
(suspenseful music continues)
Oh. (Sobs) God.
(sobbing)
(suspenseful music continues)
Who did this? Who did it?
That man, they call Damon.
His boys came in the house
last night and killed Toby.
I don't know why they let me go.
Why'd they hang him like that?
I don't know. They've
been looking for us.
(sobbing)
I don't care what you do,
but you shouldn't stay out here.
Okay.
(rope creaking)
(wind howling)
I need to find my boys.
Your boys are dead.
Why would you say that to
me? How would you know that?
There's an empty space
where they used to be.
(shovel thudding)
(Elton grunting)
You got any family around here?
They all died last year.
Most of 'em got that flu.
Yeah, it got a lot of people.
I'm really sorry about David.
He was a good boy.
Better than I, better than I deserved.
I can't do this.
I can do it.
(haunting music)
Just can't bury my boy.
(haunting music continues)
(insects calling)
(car doors thudding)
Rita's not doing so good, man.
Where's David?
They hanged him.
Oh god, fuck!
Don't make me do this anymore, Elton.
What?
I can barely breathe.
[Elton] Just go
slow. You'll be all right.
Don't lie to a dying woman.
Don't say that.
I know they're coming. I'm dead weight.
Shoot me.
I can't do that.
(panting)
Then forgive me.
Love you, Bubba.
Rita?
Rita? Come on.
Oh, no.
(cicadas droning)
She's dead.
Oh, I'm so fucking sorry man.
You two should go.
They're gonna find us soon.
No, that's fucking suicide, man.
I got nothing left.
Don't fucking say that shit to me!
I don't have anyone fucking
left! I still show the fuck up!
Don't I fucking matter? I need you!
I fucking need you.
[Elton] I'm sorry.
Why don't I matter to you?
Why don't I fucking matter?
You need to go.
I'm checking the fucking road.
Make sure it's safe and
then I'm coming back for you.
You better be fucking ready to go.
You better fucking be here.

"Sweet Dreams Sour
Milk" by Intercourse plays.
The first time it crossed my mind
It lit my thoughts on fire
Blessed me with this clarity
That everything is pornography
I live vicariously
Through crime scene photos
And reoccurring
Nightmares
So my heart breaks every time I wake up
Been pulling shrapnel
outta my skin ever since
I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
No, I'd wish it on everyone.
It's always been there
And it's never getting any better
So I say fuck sleep!
I've been MKULTRAING myself
Since I was 16.
Oh
