The Death of Us (2023) Movie Script
1
The virus. They're working hard.
Looks like by April, you know,
in theory, when it gets a little
warmer, it miraculously goes away.
Hope that's true.
I know it's difficult, but we're having
a lot of suffering a lot of death.
This is gonna get worse
before it gets better.
We're gonna get through
this.
You ready to give up? No,
let's just do five more.
5,
Katie, you're five. It is
like, uh, five minutes.
Laugh.
Thanks Katie. It's such a good one today.
Yeah, stay safe and stay healthy.
I'll see you guys tomorrow morning.
Let's get it.
Yeah, I'll get it right.
I'll be there. Bye Jen.
No ice cream for you, Bo.
See you Bo.
Love you Katie.
Love you too.
Good job. Thanks, Katie. Mary, Jane,
Trevor. I'm gonna go throw up now.
You'll be fine. laugh.
Right behind you.
Hey, what's up Trav?
Hey, uh, you got a minute?
Of course.
Uh, shit, I, I hate to
do this, but I gotta,
I gotta stop taking your classes.
What's going on?
Just got officially
furloughed yesterday, so.
That's awful.
Yeah, I just, I don't know how freelance
is going to go and I just, you know,
I feel like I gotta, you know, save money
wherever I can. So Un unfortunately.
Um, I gotta take a little break.
They're blowing this whole
thing out of proportion.
Hopefully. But, guess I'd rather be
wrong than right in this instance.
Yeah, I get it. Let me know if I can help.
Alright, will do the same,
you know, do what I can.
Oh, hey, um, Morgan said he'll have
your car ready by this weekend.
Sweet. Thank you. Well,
I'm not gonna say goodbye.
Just say See you later.
See you soon.
Even better. All right. Take
care of yourself. Be safe.
Laugh.
Know that
walk.
Trev just bailed on me.
Yeah.
I had a few clients
cancel on me today too.
Ever since the state closed the
gyms, people just aren't motivated.
People are only afraid
because they're told to do so.
Morgan, maybe this whole.
Katie.
Thing.
Don't be a sheep.
Was Devin a sheep when he left for
New York? Devin's a grown ass man.
Ya talk to him.
We have a dinner date.
Oh, isn't that cute?
Don't be jealous. You're not invited.
Ain't jealous. What you making?
Oh, wouldn't you like to know?
Hey Katie, make me a plate. Katie.
I said Alfredo babe.
This is Alfredo.
Laugh. It's soupy and pink.
First off, they say the best things
look the worst. Case and point.
That's not even a real saying.
Yeah, it is. And secondly, it's
uh, cause I don't have you here.
I miss you.
I miss you too, hon.
Oh, I miss you too, bro. laugh.
What's up bro? I miss you too.
Laugh.
Takin' care of my girl, man.
It's like the other way around.
Laugh.
This mine.
It's Devon's.
Hey.
You don't mind if I eat your
virtual dinner, do you bro?
Nah, go ahead man. I got
my own shit right here.
Woohoo. Hey man, look here man. You
get home soon and stay safe. All right?
Alright bro. You too.
Thank you.
I lost another client today.
You'll get another one.
They say the... cases have
risen 500 in New York.
City's got millions.
How serious is this?
To be honest, it's a shit show.
But everything'll be okay.
How's the hospital handling it?
About 50 patients per person.
But, uh, we got it under
control.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks. Hey, uh,
sent you guys some masks and gloves today.
Everything is sold out.
Doesn't surprise me.
phone dings.
They need me back in. One
of the doctors called out
sick.
love you, I love you too.
Hello?
Hey, what's going on man? This is
Morgan. Um, I'm right out front.
I got your car.
Yeah, I see you dude. That's awesome
man. Thanks so much. Um, shoot.
Actually, do you mind pulling it just a
little bit closer to the garage for me?
Man, I ain't doing all that.
Just come out and test it.
Uh, no, that's that,
that's fine. I'm cool. Um,
could just leave the uh, keys in the
mailbox and I left your money in there.
How am I supposed to get home, man.
Dude, I thought about that.
I left an extra 20 in there
just so you can Uber home.
Hey man. Hey, why don't
you just come out-.
Alright, gotta go. Thanks a lot. Bye.
Now to the staggering
toll on American Jobs.
Unemployment claims skyrocketing to
unprecedented levels with 6.6 million
people filing in the last week
alone. Here's Jolene Kent.
Quarantine, state of
emergency shelter in place.
The story of the virus
changes by the hour.
So how exactly did we get here?
People are just tired of
the kinds of restrictions,
but there are fundamental things that
we talk about all the time that I've
discussed with you many times. The
physical distancing, the Washington.
What's up with your boy Trevor?
Wearing a mask where.
Morgan, they say it's
airborne within six feet.
We don't have to accept.
You need to turn this off, Katie.
No, Katie, you stop. This, this
here's gonna drive you crazy. Now,
Devin said they got a handle on it, right?
Yeah. We're supposed to get
our masks and gloves soon.
Is that gonna make you feel better? Good.
'Cause everyone else is losing their
mind. It doesn't mean we have to. We good?
We're good.
Tell Devin, He's an
asshole
Shit, Starting tomorrow.
All trails are closed.
You can't be serious.
It's getting scary.
We'll just have to ride around
the neighborhood from now on.
As long as we can.
It'll blow over. Is that
why you're wearing a mask?
We begin today with an alarming
milestone right here in America.
New York state now has more
reported cases than any country in
the world. Let that sink
in for just a second.
And new pictures are a disturbing
reminder of the human toll of that.
This is a mass grave being dug for
victims at New York City's Potter's Field
where unclaimed bodies are laid to rest.
Counting the dead is
now part of the daily.
Leave your Shoes outside.
9-11 Was supposed to be
the darkest day in New York
for a generation.
We lose 2,753 lives on 9-11.
We've lost over seven thousand-.
Everything's closed.
Were you in contact with anyone?
That is so shocking and painful and.
No! Like I said, everything's closed.
Here.
I'm not wearing that.
Only when you go out.
Breathe.
I have one client left, Morgan.
I'm down to seven cars. But it'll be okay.
How is it gonna be okay? They just dug
a mass burial grave in New York City.
All because they don't have enough
room. Is it still a joke to you?
No. No, it's not a joke.
I have to deal with the effects
of this virus every fucking day.
The numbers don't lie.
But the news does.
As the daily death toll
continues to reach new
heights.
Last one 18 million people
are out of work right now.
At least we're not alone. I gotta
get out here. I'm going for a ride.
You wanna go?
I'm gonna clean.
Ya cleaned last night.
And I'm gonna clean again.
Leave the TV off.
Call me when you can. It's Katie.
Katie.
Surprised you answered.
Actually, I've been meaning to hit
you up cause I really need a work out.
You're the only one.
Oh, that sucks. Yeah. Luckily, you know,
I've been able to pick up some, uh,
graphic design work so able would
work from home. Which is really nice.
Really starting to think that this
J-H 15 is just total bullshit.
You sound like Morgan.
Laugh. Well, I mean, you know,
they've been talking about population
control since Plato. So here we are now.
Population control.
Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, four years ago they actually,
they did this dummy
scenario with Bill Gates,
where they could see how effective
a virus could be, you know?
And now here we are and they're trying
to get like a worldwide vaccination.
Okay. If they get that going, that's
how they're gonna get chips in us. It's,
it's, it's not, it's not
good laugh. It's not.
And don't even get me started on the
whole 5G thing that we got going on right
now. Um, I'm, yeah, I'm sorry. I,
I I can go on all day. Uh, what
kind workout do you want to do?
Um, let's start on legs.
Leg day. Love it. Let's do it.
So how long before this breaks?
Uh, hard to say really, but pretty
much once they hit their quota,
I think they'll shut it down.
But the second wave is where
we're really gonna be in trouble.
Second wave.
Oh yeah.
Hey, uh, excuse me.
I'm gonna need you to keep it moving man.
I get all that. I was just wondering.
Can you tell me at least when
the bans gonna be lifted?
I'm not a cop.
Yeah, but you out here working
bro. I appreciate what you doing?
What are you doing out here?
Man, look, I've been ridin' around and
there's nothing open. I'm starving man.
Hey listen, do yourself a
favor. Get you a box of masks.
It's getting that bad.
Yeah, it's getting that bad. Things
are about to go south and soon.
So stock up on some
canned goods and dry food.
We got a call at McDonald's. Transient
bothering people in the drive-through.
Can I get a unit to respond?
Uh, Sam Mary one copy. En route.
Thank you sir.
Is everything okay?
Oh man. Sorry bro. I didn't even
think about the time difference.
You're good, bro.
It's like the walking dead around here.
This things not going away, anytime soon.
There's talk about a more strict
stay at home order comin'.
You gotta be kidding me man.
I wish I was, I love you guys.
Just take care of my girl, man.
She's like a sister man.
She's in good hands.
But why the hell did you leave, man?
Trust me man. I, I didn't want to. Ah,
but I wouldn't be able to live
with myself if I did nothing.
Yeah, I get.
Look, I gotta, I gotta be up in two,
another 20 hours before I see a bed again.
You sure, everything good?
Yeah. You just don't allow this
to be another worry on your mind.
I appreciate
you,
Alright man. Get some rest bro.
Peace man.
Peace.
LA County Health officials responding
today to continuing anti-mask protests.
Last week at Air One Market
and then again yesterday.
We don't need this much toilet paper.
How about everything they
said was a limit to one.
Then I hit a few other stores.
Wash your hands. laugh.
They literally had lines outside
the stores like a nightclub.
They were only allowing
20 people in at a time.
All the aisles were going
one way. It was crazy.
Well, I'm really glad you're
taking this more seriously.
Of course.
Laugh.
Keep new cases from entering our shores.
We will be suspending all travel to
the United States for the next 30 days.
The new rules will go into effect Friday.
We should go to New York.
New York has the highest
death toll right now.
You think he needs to worry about you too?
Sniffles I just don't know when I'll
see Devin again and I don't know what
I'll do without him.
Look, the best thing for us to do is
to ride it out till he gets back. Deal.
Hey, where you going?
I'm going to start to get some
wet wipes. Do you want anything?
Can you bring me back some mustard?
Anything else?
Hey, don't forget your mask.
Ha ha.
That was fast. Where's the mustard?
You want the mustard? Then go
to the fucking store yourself.
And then I see the disinfectant where it
knocks it out in a minute. One minute.
And is there a way we can
do something like that? Uh,
by injection in.
Hey baby. Finally got a break.
Figured I give you a call.
Are you smoking?
Please? Don't.
You better than anyone should
know how serious that is.
Yeah, but i've also been
on my feet for 10 hours.
Probably another 10 before
I see a bed. If I'm lucky.
I wish I was with you.
No, you don't. I wish
I was with you though.
Coughing.
Devin.
Coughing.
Devin.
No,
Happy. Need me back inside. Okay?
I love you.
You're doing it wrong.
What am I doing wrong?
Sing Happy birthday in your head.
That's how long it should
take to wash your hands.
It's like we're preparing for
surgery in this motherfu-.
You're dumb.
Hey, momma ain't raise no dummy laugh.
Don't flick water on me.
Hey, girl stop. Stop.
Laugh
Marshall Law is in full effect.
All residents are required
to stay inside their homes.
Food will be provided every
morning. Once a knock is heard.
Wait 10 seconds for military
personnel to clear the area.
Trash should be disposed of in
the same manner. I think I'm gonna
be
On a piece of paper. Write down how
many people reside in your home,
along with any pets and
place it in the front window.
Under no circumstance
should you leave your home.
Military and drone
surveillance is in full effect.
Military has full consent to imprison
any citizen that refuses to abide by this
order. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Full consent.
This is some bullshit.
Morgan. Morgan, don't. Morgan.
Morgan!
Resident 331. Back in your home,
This is your
only warning.
They can't do this.
They just did.
One one thousand, two one thousand,
three one thousand, four one thousand,
five one thousand, six one
thousand, seven one thousand,
eight one thousand,
nine one thousand, ten.
We can get better shit
with food stamps than this.
This keeps getting worse.
I can make it work.
You heard back from him?
He's working around the clock.
I'm lucky if I get a text a day.
I texted him over a week ago. I
still haven't heard back from him.
Are you serious right now?
He's my brother. We've known each
other since we were 10 years old.
Just crazy how he'll text you back.
He don't hit me back. That's all.
He doesn't see it that way.
I do. You know, you guys
are gonna get married,
have a home, children. And
where does that leave me?
Left to the side just
like every other time.
Who's left you?
Are you kidding me? My parents dropped
me off in military school like I was a
piece of trash.
Morgan. I had no idea.
I'm a go watch a movie.
Which one?
Something
you
like.
Hey Kate, your ears must been ringing.
Osie. How's my boy?
He's doing good.
How are you?
Things are rough. They're not giving us
enough grain. But we have of plenty hay.
I can't even.
Hey! Stop it! I gotta go.
Miss you.
Hang in there. I owe you
Don't worry about it.
Today I am officially
declaring a national emergency.
So if you have a physical
covering with one layer,
you put another layer on
it just makes common sense.
Add.
Byron.
A thousand Americans are dying a day.
They are dying. That's true.
And you ha- It is what it is.
But that doesn't mean
we aren't doing every-.
Katie.
Thank you. Resident 331. Your
cooperation is appreciated.
I can't sleep.
Well then shot it is then?
It's 3:00 AM.
Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot.
Come on.
Okay, just one.
Alright.
Let's Party.
Background music.
Full house.
We're playing go fish. Think McFly.
But I'll take those sevens though.
I don't have any
sevens,
Oh a bird. You a bird.
Background music.
What the hell is that? Oh wait a
minute, okay. I got it. I got it.
You
What?
Yeah man. Oh my God. You look ridiculous.
laugh.
Speak for yourself.
Oooo, man. Ha Ha. All right now.
I wish I didn't waste so much
time.
The fuck Katie?
I wish I didn't waste so much time.
Tell me about it.
I never thought after all this time I
would still be working outta my backyard.
Your shop's not gonna change anything.
Yeah, but it would be mine.
You still gonna open your spot?
I'm drowning in student
loans for the last 15 years,
for a career I didn't even pursue.
Damn, I didn't know that.
I don't think anyone's proud
of wasting seven years.
Tell you what. When I get my spot,
I'm gonna make sure it has an upstairs
so you can run your studio out of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, auto parts and
workouts don't exactly mesh.
But we would be
partners.
Why would people put barbed wire
on the fence at the airport?
To keep people in. Now why would you
want to keep people in an airport?
People are only gonna be there for
a layover, hour or two, a transfer,
huh? A little thing called Martial Law.
Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, you're
laughing. You're laughing. Ha.
Chad and Karen laugh. They dunno.
In martial law, the best
place to store people
is in a pre-built place.
That can hold millions. Like the airport.
People are worried about the dollar and
inflation. Guess what? In martial law,
dollars don't matter. Bullets matter.
Bullets are currency, cash,
cha-ching, click-click, bang, bang.
Are you ready? Do you want to
just put your wool over your eyes,
you little sheeple? Do you
want to just go nigh nigh
on your nice little memory foam bed?
Because the hell of
martial law is eternal.
Okay,
Yeah,
yeah
Yeah.This could work.
And what do they say? Put your mask
on. Put your mask on. Put your mask on.
They shame you until you put
your mask on. You're at home.
Put your mask on. You're in
your car. Put your mask on.
You don't want to be the reason that
everybody in your family dies because of
the JH virus. Do you?
Because you were the carrier.
Because you didn't put your mask on!
We have to wear these from now on.
How many masks do you have?
I have four.
What do you mean?
I have four.
You took most of the
masks that Devin sent us.
We only have 19?
Don't worry about it.
Are you sure?
Are you implying that I'm lying
or you saying I can't count?
It's fine. I must have miscounted.
Yeah, you must have.
It's four in the morning.
It's 4:00 PM.
4:00 PM.
Come on, let's stretch.
For what?
You gotta move. Come on.
Day one. Free in the world. Go.
Hm. After this is all over,
we gotta go on a double date.
Look, I got this shorty right.
You see this- Starting tomorrow
all power will be turned off from
8:00 AM to 8:00 PM to
conserve electricity for
hospitals and military personnel.
We thank you for your cooperation.
I need a drink.
Let's just finish the workout,
then I'll have one with you.
Tv sitcom plays.
What's your biggest fear?
Becoming a father, but
with all this going on,
I don't know if I'll
ever get the chance. You?
My biggest fear is not to
have the white picket fence.
German Shepherd and a family.
I miss Ace.
Yeah. Ace was the shit. I miss that dog.
Fuck this virus.
If we get outta this, the
world's gonna be so different.
It's gonna suck. But, maybe
some good will come out of it.
Fuck this virus.
There are so many talk out there,
but it's not following the same
rules as the other viruses.
Uh, this virus is much more
aggressive and much more lethal.
Damn.
You look like the ninth circle of hell.
Phone's charged.
Hey, haven't talked to you in a week. Um,
call me, text me, let me know you're okay.
Bye.
Still nothing, huh? Hey,
you hungry?
Food doesn't come for another hour?
Yeah, but we still have some eggs
left over from the other day.
Some beans and corn chips.
Sounds amazing.
Come on. Katie. You gonna tell me you
ain't never heard Huevos Ranch Chipos?
Laugh.
There she is.
Doesn't it feel like deja vu?
Just keep scrubbing.
Just keep scrubbing. Just keep scrubbing.
One one thousand. Two one thousand.
Three one thousand. Four one thousand.
Five one thousand. Six one thousand.
Seven one thousand. Eight one thousand.
Nine one thousand.
Ten.
What does the letter say? Morgan?
What does the letter say?
We thank you for your fiance's
work on the front lines.
His ashes will be shipped to you
as soon as martial law is lifted.
Due to the increase of cases nationwide,
we will be cutting power tomorrow,
indefinitely.
To ensure our hospitals and military
personnel have the resources they need
to run efficiently.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
You, open that when
you open your new shop.
Stay off the road.
Morgan.
See? See, I told you. I told you that
was it.Yeah. I know I know. Hello?
They don't fly in the rain? Hmm.
Go away.
Hey, come outside with me.
It's not funny.
It's not a joke.
What the hell are we doing?
Here me out.
We need to get back inside.
Listen. Okay.
I've tracked the drone surveillance,
the routes and their times.
Now they usually come
around the house every hour,
but since it's raining,
they cut it to every three hours.
The military still is-.
Nothing's changed. They still
roll around every other hour.
We have two hours.
Do you trust me?
Katie, we can't stay here.
Where are we gonna go?
My parents have a cabin in
Big Bear. It's solar powered.
We have running wells and we got backup
generators and enough food to last us a
few months.
Big Bear's an hour away.
Can hike it in four day.
You wanna walk?
Being on these streets is suicide.
We'd have to go through the hills.
I've already got it mapped out.
If we leave, we die.
If we stay here, we die.
Don't you understand?
Where does it stop? It
starts with quarantine.
Then, martial law has us all
thrown in fucking house arrest.
Then they cut off our fucking power? They
will not stop.
This is our only chance.
I trust you.
We leave tomorrow.
Battery works.
Wanna hear some tunes?
Who do you think is broadcasting?
You said, wanna hear
some
I thought this would be nice.
This is Devin's favorite song.
Yeah. And the first time we
went to the concert together.
Damn man, I think I lost my mind.
Few days off, now I'm off my grind.
Gotta get it back. Like
I lost my shine. Yeah.
I've been thinking about money Cross
whatever rails I find appealing to-.
Memories, One thing they'll never
be able to take away from us.
Whatever rails I climb, like hey,
I've been in my zone all day.
Hate on my phone. I don't
care what they say. As long as
it's
Micah
I figured you'd be more
efficient with the spear.
Only four masks. Huh?
I didn't want you to worry until
I had everything figured out. We
only got six shells. Hopefully
we don't ever have to use it.
I can't do this.
Katie. Katie, look at me. Yes you can.
Something doesn't feel right.
We've been over this already.
This is your plan? You said
you had it all figured out,
but we almost got caught this morning.
I know. And that's my bad. It'll
never happen again. Alright?
You're talking four days.
The wilderness, the military,
drones.
Look, don't overthink it.
How can't I?
Because I already have.
I don't wanna go to prison
for the rest of my life.
Neither do I.
Morgan. I really think-.
Look, I know this sucks,
but this is our only option.
So we start here heading east
through Angeles National Forest,
then up to Mount Baldy,
cross three highways,
then up to Big Bear.
Four days.
Four days. We leave when it's dark.
You remember what we went over, right?
Yes.
One, Two.
Gotta go.
Listen.
What is that?
I don't care. I can't
be cooped up anymore.
You're sick. And I've been
telling you that for weeks.
I don't. I don't have
J 15. Get back inside.
No. Ah-eh. I'm leaving.
Resident. 3-2-9 back inside your home.
This is your only warning.
I can't stay inside that house
anymore! This guy is sick.
I'm leaving.
No, I'm
leav-.
We're all gonna die.
Be honest. It's a shit show.
Is that why you're wearing a mask?
The numbers don't lie.
The news does.
You know they've been talking
about population control.
I miss you. Resident 331.
I wish was with
you.
They changed the damn time.
Something's wrong.
Drones. Drones. At 22.
No, no, no.
Military. Cut back.
Stay awake then watch what happens.
Five twenty four eight twenty
three.
Do you hear that?
Katie. Give me the knife.
You don't hear that?
Katie!
I didn't hear anything.
You weren't listening for it.
Okay.
Give me the knife please.
It works.
They changed the times. Drones,
military foot patrols. It's
all completely random. Now.
What's the point anymore? We're
prisoners in our own home.
Now they're trying to starve us.
I'll figure it out. I will.
I got it!
I'm giving them what they want.
What? And get killed? For
what? For them to win?
We've already lost.
I forgot this thing even worked.
Right.
It's nice.
I haven't seen you in a couple of days.
I'm still here.
It was sweet of you.
What was?
The night we met and you guys helped
me to the car with my groceries.
You know, Devin wasn't gonna
even say nothing. Right?
I didn't think he even liked me.
Ahuh? He stuttered.
He broke stuttering in the
sixth grade till he met you.
His face was so red.
He loved you.
He loved you too.
When's the last time you had a hot meal?
You know this isn't going away.
No.
I thought about what
you said the other day
and you weren't wrong.
Only if you agree.
Know, I love you right?
Coughing.
We're gonna get through this.
The virus. They're working hard.
Looks like by April, you know,
in theory, when it gets a little
warmer, it miraculously goes away.
Hope that's true.
I know it's difficult, but we're having
a lot of suffering a lot of death.
This is gonna get worse
before it gets better.
We're gonna get through
this.
You ready to give up? No,
let's just do five more.
5,
Katie, you're five. It is
like, uh, five minutes.
Laugh.
Thanks Katie. It's such a good one today.
Yeah, stay safe and stay healthy.

Hey, what's up Trav?
Hey, uh, you got a minute?
Of course.
Uh, shit, I, I hate to
do this, but I gotta,
I gotta stop taking your classes.
What's going on?
Just got officially
furloughed yesterday, so.
That's awful.
Yeah, I just, I don't know how freelance
is going to go and I just, you know,
I feel like I gotta, you know, save money
wherever I can. So Un unfortunately.
Um, I gotta take a little break.
They're blowing this whole
thing out of proportion.
Hopefully. But, guess I'd rather be
wrong than right in this instance.
Yeah, I get it. Let me know if I can help.
Alright, will do the same,
you know, do what I can.
Oh, hey, um, Morgan said he'll have
your car ready by this weekend.
Sweet. Thank you. Well,
I'm not gonna say goodbye.
Just say See you later.
See you soon.
Even better. All right. Take
care of yourself. Be safe.
Laugh.
Know that
walk.
Trev just bailed on me.
Yeah.
I had a few clients
cancel on me today too.
Ever since the state closed the
gyms, people just aren't motivated.
People are only afraid
because they're told to do so.
Morgan, maybe this whole.
Katie.
Thing.
Don't be a sheep.
Was Devin a sheep when he left for
New York? Devin's a grown ass man.
Ya talk to him.
We have a dinner date.
Oh, isn't that cute?
Don't be jealous. You're not invited.
Ain't jealous. What you making?
Oh, wouldn't you like to know?
Hey Katie, make me a plate. Katie.
I said Alfredo babe.
This is Alfredo.
Laugh. It's soupy and pink.
First off, they say the best things
look the worst. Case and point.
That's not even a real saying.
Yeah, it is. And secondly, it's
uh, cause I don't have you here.
I miss you.
I miss you too, hon.
Oh, I miss you too, bro. laugh.
What's up bro? I miss you too.
Laugh.
Takin' care of my girl, man.
It's like the other way around.
Laugh.
This mine.
It's Devon's.
Hey.
You don't mind if I eat your
virtual dinner, do you bro?
Nah, go ahead man. I got
my own shit right here.
Woohoo. Hey man, look here man. You
get home soon and stay safe. All right?
Alright bro. You too.
Thank you.
I lost another client today.
You'll get another one.
They say the... cases have
risen 500 in New York.
City's got millions.
How serious is this?
To be honest, it's a shit show.
But everything'll be okay.
How's the hospital handling it?
About 50 patients per person.
But, uh, we got it under
control.
I'm proud of you.
Thanks. Hey, uh,
sent you guys some masks and gloves today.
Everything is sold out.
Doesn't surprise me.
phone dings.
They need me back in. One
of the doctors called out
sick.
love you, I love you too.
Hello?
Hey, what's going on man? This is
Morgan. Um, I'm right out front.
I got your car.
Yeah, I see you dude. That's awesome
man. Thanks so much. Um, shoot.
Actually, do you mind pulling it just a
little bit closer to the garage for me?
Man, I ain't doing all that.
Just come out and test it.
Uh, no, that's that,
that's fine. I'm cool. Um,
could just leave the uh, keys in the
mailbox and I left your money in there.
How am I supposed to get home, man.
Dude, I thought about that.
I left an extra 20 in there
just so you can Uber home.
Hey man. Hey, why don't
you just come out-.
Alright, gotta go. Thanks a lot. Bye.
Now to the staggering
toll on American Jobs.
Unemployment claims skyrocketing to
unprecedented levels with 6.6 million
people filing in the last week
alone. Here's Jolene Kent.
Quarantine, state of
emergency shelter in place.
The story of the virus
changes by the hour.
So how exactly did we get here?
People are just tired of
the kinds of restrictions,
but there are fundamental things that
we talk about all the time that I've
discussed with you many times. The
physical distancing, the Washington.
What's up with your boy Trevor?
Wearing a mask where.
Morgan, they say it's
airborne within six feet.
We don't have to accept.
You need to turn this off, Katie.
No, Katie, you stop. This, this
here's gonna drive you crazy. Now,
Devin said they got a handle on it, right?
Yeah. We're supposed to get
our masks and gloves soon.
Is that gonna make you feel better? Good.
'Cause everyone else is losing their
mind. It doesn't mean we have to. We good?
We're good.
Tell Devin, He's an
asshole
Shit, Starting tomorrow.
All trails are closed.
You can't be serious.
It's getting scary.
We'll just have to ride around
the neighborhood from now on.
As long as we can.
It'll blow over. Is that
why you're wearing a mask?
We begin today with an alarming
milestone right here in America.
New York state now has more
reported cases than any country in
the world. Let that sink
in for just a second.
And new pictures are a disturbing
reminder of the human toll of that.
This is a mass grave being dug for
victims at New York City's Potter's Field
where unclaimed bodies are laid to rest.
Counting the dead is
now part of the daily.
Leave your Shoes outside.
9-11 Was supposed to be
the darkest day in New York
for a generation.
We lose 2,753 lives on 9-11.
We've lost over seven thousand-.
Everything's closed.
Were you in contact with anyone?
That is so shocking and painful and.
No! Like I said, everything's closed.
Here.
I'm not wearing that.
Only when you go out.
Breathe.
I have one client left, Morgan.
I'm down to seven cars. But it'll be okay.
How is it gonna be okay? They just dug
a mass burial grave in New York City.
All because they don't have enough
room. Is it still a joke to you?
No. No, it's not a joke.
I have to deal with the effects
of this virus every fucking day.
The numbers don't lie.
But the news does.
As the daily death toll
continues to reach new
heights.
Last one 18 million people
are out of work right now.
At least we're not alone. I gotta
get out here. I'm going for a ride.
You wanna go?
I'm gonna clean.
Ya cleaned last night.
And I'm gonna clean again.
Leave the TV off.
Call me when you can. It's Katie.
Katie.
Surprised you answered.
Actually, I've been meaning to hit
you up cause I really need a work out.
You're the only one.
Oh, that sucks. Yeah. Luckily, you know,
I've been able to pick up some, uh,
graphic design work so able would
work from home. Which is really nice.
Really starting to think that this
J-H 15 is just total bullshit.
You sound like Morgan.
Laugh. Well, I mean, you know,
they've been talking about population
control since Plato. So here we are now.
Population control.
Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Look, four years ago they actually,
they did this dummy
scenario with Bill Gates,
where they could see how effective
a virus could be, you know?
And now here we are and they're trying
to get like a worldwide vaccination.
Okay. If they get that going, that's
how they're gonna get chips in us. It's,
it's, it's not, it's not
good laugh. It's not.
And don't even get me started on the
whole 5G thing that we got going on right
now. Um, I'm, yeah, I'm sorry. I,
I I can go on all day. Uh, what
kind workout do you want to do?
Um, let's start on legs.
Leg day. Love it. Let's do it.
So how long before this breaks?
Uh, hard to say really, but pretty
much once they hit their quota,
I think they'll shut it down.
But the second wave is where
we're really gonna be in trouble.
Second wave.
Oh yeah.
Hey, uh, excuse me.
I'm gonna need you to keep it moving man.
I get all that. I was just wondering.
Can you tell me at least when
the bans gonna be lifted?
I'm not a cop.
Yeah, but you out here working
bro. I appreciate what you doing?
What are you doing out here?
Man, look, I've been ridin' around and
there's nothing open. I'm starving man.
Hey listen, do yourself a
favor. Get you a box of masks.
It's getting that bad.
Yeah, it's getting that bad. Things
are about to go south and soon.
So stock up on some
canned goods and dry food.
We got a call at McDonald's. Transient
bothering people in the drive-through.
Can I get a unit to respond?
Uh, Sam Mary one copy. En route.
Thank you sir.
Is everything okay?
Oh man. Sorry bro. I didn't even
think about the time difference.
You're good, bro.
It's like the walking dead around here.
This things not going away, anytime soon.
There's talk about a more strict
stay at home order comin'.
You gotta be kidding me man.
I wish I was, I love you guys.
Just take care of my girl, man.
She's like a sister man.
She's in good hands.
But why the hell did you leave, man?
Trust me man. I, I didn't want to. Ah,
but I wouldn't be able to live
with myself if I did nothing.
Yeah, I get.
Look, I gotta, I gotta be up in two,
another 20 hours before I see a bed again.
You sure, everything good?
Yeah. You just don't allow this
to be another worry on your mind.
I appreciate
you,
Alright man. Get some rest bro.
Peace man.
Peace.
LA County Health officials responding
today to continuing anti-mask protests.
Last week at Air One Market
and then again yesterday.
We don't need this much toilet paper.
How about everything they
said was a limit to one.
Then I hit a few other stores.
Wash your hands. laugh.
They literally had lines outside
the stores like a nightclub.
They were only allowing
20 people in at a time.
All the aisles were going
one way. It was crazy.
Well, I'm really glad you're
taking this more seriously.
Of course.
Laugh.
Keep new cases from entering our shores.
We will be suspending all travel to
the United States for the next 30 days.
The new rules will go into effect Friday.
We should go to New York.
New York has the highest
death toll right now.
You think he needs to worry about you too?
Sniffles I just don't know when I'll
see Devin again and I don't know what
I'll do without him.
Look, the best thing for us to do is
to ride it out till he gets back. Deal.
Hey, where you going?
I'm going to start to get some
wet wipes. Do you want anything?
Can you bring me back some mustard?
Anything else?
Hey, don't forget your mask.
Ha ha.
That was fast. Where's the mustard?
You want the mustard? Then go
to the fucking store yourself.
And then I see the disinfectant where it
knocks it out in a minute. One minute.
And is there a way we can
do something like that? Uh,
by injection in.
Hey baby. Finally got a break.
Figured I give you a call.
Are you smoking?
Please? Don't.
You better than anyone should
know how serious that is.
Yeah, but i've also been
on my feet for 10 hours.
Probably another 10 before
I see a bed. If I'm lucky.
I wish I was with you.
No, you don't. I wish
I was with you though.
Coughing.
Devin.
Coughing.
Devin.
No,
Happy. Need me back inside. Okay?
I love you.
You're doing it wrong.
What am I doing wrong?
Sing Happy birthday in your head.
That's how long it should
take to wash your hands.
It's like we're preparing for
surgery in this motherfu-.
You're dumb.
Hey, momma ain't raise no dummy laugh.
Don't flick water on me.
Hey, girl stop. Stop.
Laugh
Marshall Law is in full effect.
All residents are required
to stay inside their homes.
Food will be provided every
morning. Once a knock is heard.
Wait 10 seconds for military
personnel to clear the area.
Trash should be disposed of in
the same manner. I think I'm gonna
be
On a piece of paper. Write down how
many people reside in your home,
along with any pets and
place it in the front window.
Under no circumstance
should you leave your home.
Military and drone
surveillance is in full effect.
Military has full consent to imprison
any citizen that refuses to abide by this
order. Stay safe. Stay healthy.
Full consent.
This is some bullshit.
Morgan. Morgan, don't. Morgan.
Morgan!
Resident 331. Back in your home,
This is your
only warning.
They can't do this.
They just did.
One one thousand, two one thousand,
three one thousand, four one thousand,
five one thousand, six one
thousand, seven one thousand,
eight one thousand,
nine one thousand, ten.
We can get better shit
with food stamps than this.
This keeps getting worse.
I can make it work.
You heard back from him?
He's working around the clock.
I'm lucky if I get a text a day.
I texted him over a week ago. I
still haven't heard back from him.
Are you serious right now?
He's my brother. We've known each
other since we were 10 years old.
Just crazy how he'll text you back.
He don't hit me back. That's all.
He doesn't see it that way.
I do. You know, you guys
are gonna get married,
have a home, children. And
where does that leave me?
Left to the side just
like every other time.
Who's left you?
Are you kidding me? My parents dropped
me off in military school like I was a
piece of trash.
Morgan. I had no idea.
I'm a go watch a movie.
Which one?
Something
you
like.
Hey Kate, your ears must been ringing.
Osie. How's my boy?
He's doing good.
How are you?
Things are rough. They're not giving us
enough grain. But we have of plenty hay.
I can't even.
Hey! Stop it! I gotta go.
Miss you.
Hang in there. I owe you
Don't worry about it.
Today I am officially
declaring a national emergency.
So if you have a physical
covering with one layer,
you put another layer on
it just makes common sense.
Add.
Byron.
A thousand Americans are dying a day.
They are dying. That's true.
And you ha- It is what it is.
But that doesn't mean
we aren't doing every-.
Katie.
Thank you. Resident 331. Your
cooperation is appreciated.
I can't sleep.
Well then shot it is then?
It's 3:00 AM.
Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot. Shot.
Come on.
Okay, just one.
Alright.
Let's Party.
Background music.
Full house.
We're playing go fish. Think McFly.
But I'll take those sevens though.
I don't have any
sevens,
Oh a bird. You a bird.
Background music.
What the hell is that? Oh wait a
minute, okay. I got it. I got it.
You
What?
Yeah man. Oh my God. You look ridiculous.
laugh.
Speak for yourself.
Oooo, man. Ha Ha. All right now.
I wish I didn't waste so much
time.
The fuck Katie?
I wish I didn't waste so much time.
Tell me about it.
I never thought after all this time I
would still be working outta my backyard.
Your shop's not gonna change anything.
Yeah, but it would be mine.
You still gonna open your spot?
I'm drowning in student
loans for the last 15 years,
for a career I didn't even pursue.
Damn, I didn't know that.
I don't think anyone's proud
of wasting seven years.
Tell you what. When I get my spot,
I'm gonna make sure it has an upstairs
so you can run your studio out of it.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Well, auto parts and
workouts don't exactly mesh.
But we would be
partners.
Why would people put barbed wire
on the fence at the airport?
To keep people in. Now why would you
want to keep people in an airport?
People are only gonna be there for
a layover, hour or two, a transfer,
huh? A little thing called Martial Law.
Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, you're
laughing. You're laughing. Ha.
Chad and Karen laugh. They dunno.
In martial law, the best
place to store people
is in a pre-built place.
That can hold millions. Like the airport.
People are worried about the dollar and
inflation. Guess what? In martial law,
dollars don't matter. Bullets matter.
Bullets are currency, cash,
cha-ching, click-click, bang, bang.
Are you ready? Do you want to
just put your wool over your eyes,
you little sheeple? Do you
want to just go nigh nigh
on your nice little memory foam bed?
Because the hell of
martial law is eternal.
Okay,
Yeah,
yeah
Yeah.This could work.
And what do they say? Put your mask
on. Put your mask on. Put your mask on.
They shame you until you put
your mask on. You're at home.
Put your mask on. You're in
your car. Put your mask on.
You don't want to be the reason that
everybody in your family dies because of
the JH virus. Do you?
Because you were the carrier.
Because you didn't put your mask on!
We have to wear these from now on.
How many masks do you have?
I have four.
What do you mean?
I have four.
You took most of the
masks that Devin sent us.
We only have 19?
Don't worry about it.
Are you sure?
Are you implying that I'm lying
or you saying I can't count?
It's fine. I must have miscounted.
Yeah, you must have.
It's four in the morning.
It's 4:00 PM.
4:00 PM.
Come on, let's stretch.
For what?
You gotta move. Come on.
Day one. Free in the world. Go.
Hm. After this is all over,
we gotta go on a double date.
Look, I got this shorty right.
You see this- Starting tomorrow
all power will be turned off from
8:00 AM to 8:00 PM to
conserve electricity for
hospitals and military personnel.
We thank you for your cooperation.
I need a drink.
Let's just finish the workout,
then I'll have one with you.
Tv sitcom plays.
What's your biggest fear?
Becoming a father, but
with all this going on,
I don't know if I'll
ever get the chance. You?
My biggest fear is not to
have the white picket fence.
German Shepherd and a family.
I miss Ace.
Yeah. Ace was the shit. I miss that dog.
Fuck this virus.
If we get outta this, the
world's gonna be so different.
It's gonna suck. But, maybe
some good will come out of it.
Fuck this virus.
There are so many talk out there,
but it's not following the same
rules as the other viruses.
Uh, this virus is much more
aggressive and much more lethal.
Damn.
You look like the ninth circle of hell.
Phone's charged.
Hey, haven't talked to you in a week. Um,
call me, text me, let me know you're okay.
Bye.
Still nothing, huh? Hey,
you hungry?
Food doesn't come for another hour?
Yeah, but we still have some eggs
left over from the other day.
Some beans and corn chips.
Sounds amazing.
Come on. Katie. You gonna tell me you
ain't never heard Huevos Ranch Chipos?
Laugh.
There she is.
Doesn't it feel like deja vu?
Just keep scrubbing.
Just keep scrubbing. Just keep scrubbing.
One one thousand. Two one thousand.
Three one thousand. Four one thousand.
Five one thousand. Six one thousand.
Seven one thousand. Eight one thousand.
Nine one thousand.
Ten.
What does the letter say? Morgan?
What does the letter say?
We thank you for your fiance's
work on the front lines.
His ashes will be shipped to you
as soon as martial law is lifted.
Due to the increase of cases nationwide,
we will be cutting power tomorrow,
indefinitely.
To ensure our hospitals and military
personnel have the resources they need
to run efficiently.
Stay safe. Stay healthy.
You, open that when
you open your new shop.
Stay off the road.
Morgan.
See? See, I told you. I told you that
was it.Yeah. I know I know. Hello?
They don't fly in the rain? Hmm.
Go away.
Hey, come outside with me.
It's not funny.
It's not a joke.
What the hell are we doing?
Here me out.
We need to get back inside.
Listen. Okay.
I've tracked the drone surveillance,
the routes and their times.
Now they usually come
around the house every hour,
but since it's raining,
they cut it to every three hours.
The military still is-.
Nothing's changed. They still
roll around every other hour.
We have two hours.
Do you trust me?
Katie, we can't stay here.
Where are we gonna go?
My parents have a cabin in
Big Bear. It's solar powered.
We have running wells and we got backup
generators and enough food to last us a
few months.
Big Bear's an hour away.
Can hike it in four day.
You wanna walk?
Being on these streets is suicide.
We'd have to go through the hills.
I've already got it mapped out.
If we leave, we die.
If we stay here, we die.
Don't you understand?
Where does it stop? It
starts with quarantine.
Then, martial law has us all
thrown in fucking house arrest.
Then they cut off our fucking power? They
will not stop.
This is our only chance.
I trust you.
We leave tomorrow.
Battery works.
Wanna hear some tunes?
Who do you think is broadcasting?
You said, wanna hear
some
I thought this would be nice.
This is Devin's favorite song.
Yeah. And the first time we
went to the concert together.
Damn man, I think I lost my mind.
Few days off, now I'm off my grind.
Gotta get it back. Like
I lost my shine. Yeah.
I've been thinking about money Cross
whatever rails I find appealing to-.
Memories, One thing they'll never
be able to take away from us.
Whatever rails I climb, like hey,
I've been in my zone all day.
Hate on my phone. I don't
care what they say. As long as
it's
Micah
I figured you'd be more
efficient with the spear.
Only four masks. Huh?
I didn't want you to worry until
I had everything figured out. We
only got six shells. Hopefully
we don't ever have to use it.
I can't do this.
Katie. Katie, look at me. Yes you can.
Something doesn't feel right.
We've been over this already.
This is your plan? You said
you had it all figured out,
but we almost got caught this morning.
I know. And that's my bad. It'll
never happen again. Alright?
You're talking four days.
The wilderness, the military,
drones.
Look, don't overthink it.
How can't I?
Because I already have.
I don't wanna go to prison
for the rest of my life.
Neither do I.
Morgan. I really think-.
Look, I know this sucks,
but this is our only option.
So we start here heading east
through Angeles National Forest,
then up to Mount Baldy,
cross three highways,
then up to Big Bear.
Four days.
Four days. We leave when it's dark.
You remember what we went over, right?
Yes.
One, Two.
Gotta go.
Listen.
What is that?
I don't care. I can't
be cooped up anymore.
You're sick. And I've been
telling you that for weeks.
I don't. I don't have
J 15. Get back inside.
No. Ah-eh. I'm leaving.
Resident. 3-2-9 back inside your home.
This is your only warning.
I can't stay inside that house
anymore! This guy is sick.
I'm leaving.
No, I'm
leav-.
We're all gonna die.
Be honest. It's a shit show.
Is that why you're wearing a mask?
The numbers don't lie.
The news does.
You know they've been talking
about population control.
I miss you. Resident 331.
I wish was with
you.
They changed the damn time.
Something's wrong.
Drones. Drones. At 22.
No, no, no.
Military. Cut back.
Stay awake then watch what happens.
Five twenty four eight twenty
three.
Do you hear that?
Katie. Give me the knife.
You don't hear that?
Katie!
I didn't hear anything.
You weren't listening for it.
Okay.
Give me the knife please.
It works.
They changed the times. Drones,
military foot patrols. It's
all completely random. Now.
What's the point anymore? We're
prisoners in our own home.
Now they're trying to starve us.
I'll figure it out. I will.
I got it!
I'm giving them what they want.
What? And get killed? For
what? For them to win?
We've already lost.
I forgot this thing even worked.
Right.
It's nice.
I haven't seen you in a couple of days.
I'm still here.
It was sweet of you.
What was?
The night we met and you guys helped
me to the car with my groceries.
You know, Devin wasn't gonna
even say nothing. Right?
I didn't think he even liked me.
Ahuh? He stuttered.
He broke stuttering in the
sixth grade till he met you.
His face was so red.
He loved you.
He loved you too.
When's the last time you had a hot meal?
You know this isn't going away.
No.
I thought about what
you said the other day
and you weren't wrong.
Only if you agree.
Know, I love you right?
Coughing.
We're gonna get through this.
