The End of Oak Street (2026) Movie Script

- Are you ready ?
- Yeah.
Mom and I are gonna win.
No chance.
Why am I doing this again?
Fatherly duty.
Hell yeah, I remember those.
Go, go, go!
Come on!
Wait for me!
Come on, Denise.
That's great.
Hey, guys.
You've got a great family.
You're a lucky man.
Yes, I am.
Oh, a little bit more.
Two more.
Hey, Mom.
Look who wanted to come out and play.
Sorry.
Just give me one second.
Brian.
No.
You can't leave Starbuck at home.
He loves his summer block party.
Honey, he loves it too much.
All right?
Your dad and I both said you can't bring him.
No.
Dad said it was OK.
OK.
Starbuck?
Starbuck.
Listen to me.
All right?
You can stay, but you have to be good.
All right?
No biting, no digging holes, and no stealing food.
Oh!
See, he knows.
So what are you going to do after we graduate?
Oh, my mom's going to help me get a job at Michigan Bell.
What about you?
I don't know.
I can't afford it.
But if I could, I'd go to Cornell.
That's where Carl Sagan teaches.
Who's Carl Sagan?
You've never heard of Carl Sagan's Cosmos?
No.
Is that like science fiction?
No.
He's an astronomer.
Hmm.
He wrote that human beings are like butterflies who flutter for a day and think it's forever.
That's kind of depressing, isn't it?
I don't think so.
Katie.
Hey.
It's good to see you, Brian.
You're like, you're early.
I wanted to spend the day with you.
Oh.
Oh.
Audrey, look out!
Go.
Good boy.
Good boy.
Hey.
Hey.
These are just about ready.
Oh, I'm sorry.
I can't do the grilling.
I got to go.
Why?
You said you'd do it.
Yeah.
They need me to do some deliveries this afternoon.
I thought you were quitting the side jobs after Chrysler brought you back.
Well, yeah.
I just wanted to make a few extra bucks.
What's the big deal?
Well, it's not that big of a deal.
It's just that, you know, I don't know if I'm going to make it.
Well, uh, we agreed we needed a family day.
And now you're leaving.
And we agreed that Starbucks should stay home.
And then you told Brian he could bring them.
Yeah, well, just let the boy hang out with his dog.
Can we talk for a minute?
Mom and dad are fighting again.
Do you think they're ever going to get it?
No.
No, they wouldn't do that.
How long are we going to keep putting off the conversation?
Can't we just enjoy the weekend?
It's not working.
The kids can feel it.
Brian's already acting out.
He's just being a 13-year-old.
We need to stop doing that.
Doing what?
Ignoring the problem.
It's a beautiful day, isn't it?
Yes, it is.
I've got to go.
I'll see you tomorrow.
Star player Lance Parrish had two hits despite the Tigers losing to the Rangers.
And speaking of stars, NASA is still tracking a series of unusual ripples in space, coming off an unprecedented wave of solar flares.
Due to this activity...
Have you told your husband about your book?
No.
No.
I don't think he'd appreciate it.
Well, that's a shame.
I love what you've written so far.
Thank you.
It's hard to describe how much this surprised me.
I would never have guessed that you could write something so intense.
Well, I mean, it's not really me.
It's just a story.
Well, I love some of the little details.
Like the fact that she always keeps her yellow suitcase packed, ready to leave for New York the minute she gets up the nerve to do it.
And that scene where she's holding the suitcase in her arms and cries while she watches her children playing in the yard is
heartbreaking and beautifully written.
Thank you.
I'd like to read the next draft when you're finished.
Are you sure?
You have been so generous with your time.
I feel bad.
Denise, I edited my husband's work for 40 years without a lot of gratitude.
I'm more than happy to give some editorial advice to someone who cares.
Well, thank you so much.
I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
Oh, do you have a minute?
Sure.
I want to show you something in the backyard.
Strange, isn't it?
Yeah.
What do you think it is?
I don't know.
I can get a botany books in the library.
Maybe we can figure it out.
I just don't know how it could have grown so fast.
I'm certain it wasn't here a couple days ago.
It grew this much in two days?
Well, either that or somebody transplanted it as a joke.
I don't know how funny that is.
Want me to pull it up for you?
Sure, if you don't mind.
Hey, let me get some of that flask, bro.
Who said?
I'm being greedy.
Have you told your parents yet?
No.
Aren't you a little bit worried about it?
A little bit?
Maybe they just, like, won't find out about it.
Of course they will.
Charles Tucker's older brother is going to beat the hell out of you.
He broke the kid's arm, Brian.
Of course he's not going to forget.
It was an accident.
Bullshit!
You threw a stick into the spokes of his tires.
What do you think would happen?
Thought he'd go flying off his bike like Superman.
Oh, he did.
Way up into the air.
Yeah, you're lucky he's not dead.
I mean, when his brother sees you, he's going to kill you.
And I mean kill you.
So I got my bow and arrow.
What good is that going to do?
I'm narrowing him.
Hey, hey.
Take a look.
That's the new girl, right?
Oh, get down.
Wow, she's pretty.
I heard she goes to some kind of private school.
She doesn't look rich.
Why would she be rich to go to private school?
She's got to be, like, Catholic or something.
I'm thinking of becoming Catholic.
Son of a bitch.
Denise!
Hey, Denise!
Mel, what is it?
Your dog got in my yard again last night.
Oh, sorry.
Oh, you're sorry.
Okay, well, I woke up here in the damn thing barking.
He would not shut up.
Do you know I barely slept last night?
Brian said there's some raccoons in the trees back there.
Starfuck must be trying to catch them.
You understand, I don't care why he's doing it, okay?
He's now dug a hole into my fence.
He has shit all over my yard.
I am just so sick of it.
Well, I'll make sure he doesn't.
I'll make sure that he is on a leash until we get the hole filled, okay?
Fine.
Fine, but you know what?
If that dog comes in my yard one more time, I'm gonna shoot it.
Listen, Mel, my husband is too kind to say this, but if you so much as point a gun in the direction of my dog, I'll burn your damn house down.
See you tomorrow.
See you later, Mel.
Hey, Brian.
You help me with this?
Yeah, Dad.
Is everything okay?
Yeah.
I made some good tips.
I got us a pizza for dinner.
Great.
I'm starving.
Well, there's plenty to eat.
Why don't we take this thing off?
It should be easier to leave it on all the time.
Yeah, it embarrasses your mother.
Oh.
You're gonna stop with the cigarettes, right?
I don't smoke.
Don't lie to me, Brian.
I'm not.
I can smell it on you.
Sorry, Dad.
What's with you, anyway?
Nothing.
Trying to impress somebody?
No.
That crap is the reason your grandpa got his vocal cords cut out.
You don't want cancer, do you?
Uh-uh.
All right, let's put this stupid thing in the garage where your mother can't see it.
There he is.
What was that?
I have no idea.
Mel's really getting to be a problem.
He threatened the dog today.
He what?
He better not hurt Starbuck.
No, no, no.
Nobody's gonna hurt the dog.
Hey, Starbuck.
This is Mel's head.
You wanna bite it, right?
You wanna bite it?
That's not his head.
That's his balls.
Yeah, Starbuck.
Here's Mel's testicles.
Okay, Starbuck.
You wanna go get him?
Come on, get his balls.
Go get him.
Yay!
See?
That's what he's gonna do to Mel's balls.
Dad, tell Ryan to keep his mouth shut while he's eating.
It's so gross.
Don't talk when you got food in your mouth, Ryan.
Ew.
Mom, he's been so gross since the time he was a little boy.
Do you remember when he pooped in the bath?
Okay, that was a little poop.
No, no, it wasn't.
No, she's right.
It was a lot of poop.
Okay.
So what?
I was just like four years old or something.
Good boy, you're all wet.
Good boy.
What did you see?
Anybody else see that weird light in the backyard last night?
What weird light?
I don't know where it came from, but Starbuck was all freaked out and barking.
Oh, great, that's all we need.
What did it look like?
Well, it was a light coming through the window.
It was really bright, it flickered, and then the wind was blowing all crazy, and then it was gone.
Could have been lights from a helicopter.
Or a UFO.
Aliens.
Shut up, Dad.
How long was you barking for?
Long enough to wake me up.
Oh.
Hey, Mal, what's going on?
Nothing good.
Kids pulled off one hell of a prank last night.
What happened?
They didn't do anything to you.
Oh, you gotta see it.
It's gonna take me all day to clean up.
Hey, Mal, what are you talking about?
No, no, come on.
Come take a look, Greg.
All right.
Holy shit.
Yes, yes, that is exactly what that is.
That is about a couple hundred pounds of cow manure.
You think my kids did this?
Either them or your wife.
Oh, come on now, Mal.
Really?
You see, I knew it.
I knew they did.
Damn it.
Stop laughing.
I knew it.
They just think it's funny because it's, uh...
I promise you, my family had nothing to do with this.
Greg, please.
Okay?
If it wasn't them, then who else did this, huh?
You're the only neighbor I'm having trouble with.
I have no idea.
But if you need help cleaning it up, then I'll be here.
And Brian can help, too.
What?
Thank you, Greg.
Come on, man.
I appreciate it.
All right.
Denise, so nice to see you.
Good to see you, Mrs. Babcourt.
I was wondering if you could help me out with something.
Oh.
Yes, what do you need?
Mrs. Huddleston found this plant in her backyard, and we're trying to figure out what it is.
Now, I looked through all of these books, but I can't find anything like it.
Do you have any idea what it could be?
It's funny.
It looks a lot like pleuromia.
Uh, pleur...
What's that?
It can't be pleuromia, because that species has been extinct for over 200 million years.
200 million years?
Yes.
I'll tell Mrs. Huddleston she'll get a kick out of that.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you more.
Hmm.
Uh, here you go.
Thanks.
I mean, the Hannibal's are pretty cool.
I customized them a few days ago.
How about this all black?
I need a new one.
Yeah, this one's, like, red, and I think it's pretty cool.
You think maybe I should get it, too?
I think you'll like it.
Brian!
It's Caden Tucker!
Oh, shit!
Go, go, go, go!
Brian Platt!
Get back here!
I'm gonna kick your ass!
You're dead!
Come on!
Let's get out!
Let's go!
Shit!
Where are you, Brian?
Where are you hiding?
Come here, Brian!
I'm out this way.
You broke my brother's arm!
Just you wait till we find you, Platt!
Brian!
We're coming for you, Brian!
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
You're done, Platt!
Let's go left.
We'll find him.
Let's make some jam.
Let's drink it.
Yeah, let's get drunk.
And you can't get drunk no more, Caden, dear.
Mom!
Dad!
The power's out again!
What was that noise?
It felt like my eardrums popped.
Denise?
Kids?
Could have been lightning striking a transformer.
I don't know.
The clock's dead.
Must have happened just past 11.
Everybody all right?
Yeah, Dad, we're fine.
Did you guys see that lightning?
Yeah, it was bright as hell.
The whole sky lit up just like that.
Where's Mom at?
I don't know.
Denise, you downstairs?
Yes!
I'm here.
Everybody okay?
Yeah, we're all fine.
Just a little startled, I guess.
What were you doing in the basement?
Huh?
Laundry.
Washing your dirty underpants.
Funny, Mom.
My ears are popping like I just flew in an airplane.
Yeah, mine too.
That doesn't make sense.
What would cause that type of pressure change?
Yeah, looks like the whole neighborhood's lost power.
Well, lines are down.
Shit.
What's your language, Audrey?
Mom, I'm hungry.
Can I get something to eat?
Huh?
Yeah.
Only from the cupboard.
Okay.
Nobody's opening the fridge until the power comes back on.
I don't want all that food to go bad.
Did anyone else notice?
The rain stopped.
There's no more thunder.
Yeah, it's quiet.
I think we should all try and get some sleep, and hopefully by the time we wake up, the power will be back on.
What the hell was that?
Shh, quiet.
Someone's heart.
Ryan, give me your flashlight.
Wait, no, no, no.
Dad?
What?
I don't think you should go out there.
Someone might need help.
Just stay inside, please.
Hello?
Ryan, make sure the back door's locked.
And check on the dog.
Dad, what is happening?
I don't know.
I think we should stay inside the house until morning.
There could be power lines down.
Don't know how dangerous it is out there.
What about the people who were screaming?
Don't they need help?
Look, I don't know who those people are, but the police will be there to help them.
The back door's locked.
Starbucks and his dog.
What about the police?
Shouldn't we be hearing sirens?
Audrey, stop it.
Are you trying to scare your brother?
No, I'm not.
I'm just trying to figure out what's happening.
Why don't you get some pillows and blankets, and we'll all sleep in the family room.
Yeah, that's a good idea.
All together.
Good idea.
Come on, go get your stuff.
Just a regular summer party.
I'll get some snacks.
I'll get the blankets.
Yeah.
Still no power?
Nope.
Sucks.
I want to watch some TV.
We'll get it on soon.
Why is it so warm in here?
I'll open some windows.
Greg?
What?
Yeah?
Starbucks got out again.
How?
Um, he must have broken his leash and dug under the fence.
Can I go looking for him?
No, no, not just yet.
I told you there'd be power lines down in the street.
And I'm not stupid.
I'm not gonna grab onto one.
Yeah, should we drink the milk before it goes bad?
Mm-hmm.
Everybody wants cereal?
Yes, please.
Yeah.
Thank you.
You staying home today?
No.
No, I can go in a little late.
I'll tell them about the power line stand.
Okay.
I'm gonna find Starbucks and see what kind of damage the storm caused.
I just hope Mel didn't do anything to him.
No, no.
He's probably in the McAllister's backyard trying to get fresh with that pretty little dachshund.
Rose, Dad.
What?
Why don't we go together?
I'm gonna check on Mrs. Huddleston and make sure she's okay.
Yeah.
All right, let's do that.
You two stay inside until your mom and I get back.
Sure.
Mm-hmm.
Brian, Kate and Tucker came by yesterday.
He was looking for you.
Don't tell him I'm here.
Damn it.
Water's not working.
Well, the main line must have burst.
That was one hell of a storm.
Are there any utilities left to bring?
No, we got them all.
Good.
Lock the door behind us, okay?
Yeah, Mom.
Oof.
That's hot.
Yeah.
Starbuck?
You hear that?
Yeah.
That explains the water being out.
No, I don't think so.
That's not a burst pipe.
That water is steaming hot.
I'm gonna cut through the yards, head over to the next block, see if they have power.
I have a feeling the Starbuck's in the McAllister's backyard.
Okay.
Tucker, get you back to the house.
Starbuck?
Mrs. Huddleston?
Mrs. Huddleston?
Hello?
Mrs. Huddleston?
What the hell?
Brian!
Brian!
Come here, quick!
Mrs. Huddleston?
Mrs. Huddleston?
Mrs...
Oh, God, Mrs. Huddleston!
Brian, get up here!
What's going on?
Why are you yelling?
I saw something!
It was big!
What'd you see?
It looked like it was moving in this direction!
What was it, an animal?
I don't know!
Did an elephant escape from the zoo?
It wasn't a damn elephant!
Are you sure you saw something?
Stop it, Brian, I did!
Okay, okay, but you're freaking me out!
Starbuck?
Come on, let's go!
Let's go!
Oh my God, he's getting!
Run, Denise!
What the hell's going on?
Get inside, now!
Get inside!
I just heard a gunshot!
I can do it.
Take that.
Audrey, open the door!
Run!
Audrey, come on!
Audrey!
Mom, look!
Audrey!
Run!
Oh my God!
Oh my God, what is that?
Quick!
Oh my God!
What is that?
What is that?
Oh my God!
Dad?
I think they're gone.
What's happening?
I don't know.
Who was at the door?
We've got to get out of here.
What do we do?
Get in the car?
Yeah.
Go to my parents' house.
Maybe this isn't happening in Chicago.
Dad, are we going to die?
No, no, no.
He's going to die.
It's going to be okay.
Everybody, get some things.
We're getting the hell out of here.
Go.
Come on, get some things.
Okay.
Audrey, Brian, keep your heads down.
Don't look out the windows.
What about Starbuck?
Are we just leaving him?
He'll be all right.
We can't go looking for him right now.
He'll be here when we get back.
Shit.
Why are we stopping?
What's happening?
We're going to go to Gladwin Street.
There's got to be a way out of here.
No!
No!
This is insane.
Where the hell are we?
It's okay.
It's okay.
Ted, that's
never happened to us.
Oh, yeah.
I might add a little sip.
I guess I needed to calm down.
You can smell it?
Huh?
I wish you wouldn't drink.
Not now.
I need you here with me.
Well, this is a lot to deal with.
Craig, it started before we got here.
Will you please be honest with me?
I was let off a few weeks ago.
I've been trying to find work, doing part-time jobs for cash.
Why didn't you tell me?
Mom, where'd you put the other hammer?
Just give us a minute, Brian.
I didn't want you to worry.
Ted.
No, it's not.
I need you to remember something.
I can handle anything you can handle, maybe more.
Brian, find that other hammer?
No.
It's in the garage.
It has a yellow handle.
Oh, Audrey, will you start bringing the supplies down to the basement?
Everything?
Yeah, yeah, we're gonna sleep down there.
It's the safest part of the house.
Okay.
Dad?
What are we gonna do about Starbuck?
Oh, buddy.
I don't think we can do anything right now.
But Starbuck is a very smart dog.
He'll be okay.
You know he loves you so much.
He'll find his way home.
He will.
Dad?
Yeah?
The basement is totally flooded.
Oh, shit.
What?
We'll just have to use the second floor, I guess.
Dammit.
What is it?
Nothing.
Please tell me.
I had something very important down there.
What?
What?
What does it matter?
Let's just keep this door closed and hope the water doesn't get any higher, alright?
Okay.
I'm sorry, Mom.
Thank you.
This is the last of the milk.
Well, we might as well finish it.
Never gonna have milk again.
Don't talk like that.
Maybe dinosaurs have milk.
Don't be stupid.
Can't find any radio stations.
Thanks for checking, buddy.
Mom, is this the end of the world?
No, it's not.
What is it, then?
I think that our neighborhood, our whole street, has moved.
I think our house is somewhere else now.
Where?
We're in the past, aren't we?
How the hell is that even possible?
I don't know.
It was the lights.
What?
The lights that Starbrooke was barking at.
The lights brought us here.
Yeah, maybe.
I mean, Sagan wrote about wormholes.
The lights could be portals moving things between different points in time.
Like the planet Mrs. Huddleston's?
Or the shit in Mel's backyard.
Maybe the lights carried those things from the past to the present and us back to the past.
How?
Well, the portals could have acted as tremors.
So barely noticeable at first, swapping small sections of land between different points in time.
And maybe the tremors grew until the big one finally hit and our whole neighborhood got swapped out.
Well, if that's true, then it could take us back home again.
So what, are we just going to wait here?
Greg.
Yeah, yeah.
We're going to survive.
And we're going to wait for the lights to take us back.
That's the plan.
Dad, how do you know that that's even going to happen?
We don't know.
Well, I believe it will.
How?
I know.
Because God's not going to let us die here.
Greg, you only go to church at Christmas and now you're telling the kids God's looking out for us?
What about the people who are out there getting eaten by animals?
I believe, Dad.
Okay.
Good.
If it makes you feel better, believe Him.
I'm just scared.
And I don't want to lie to you.
Music.
High and sweet.
Then she just blew away.
Now she can't be that warm in her arms.
Follow me.
Call on me.
Call on me.
Follow me.
Come and see me.
I'm the same boy I used to be.
I know you were trying to comfort the kids, but we might be here forever.
You know that, right?
Well, I don't want to believe that.
Of course not, but we can't stay in the house indefinitely.
Eventually we're going to need more food and water.
We could be killed and eaten if we go outside.
Is that what you want?
There are other people here.
Other families are trying to survive.
The smart ones are going to gather supplies.
Water, food, guns, ammunition.
Why don't we wait a few days and see what happens?
We can.
We can.
What is that?
All of it.
It's okay.
What's going on?
It's okay.
Get down.
Get down.
Stay down.
Are you okay?
This is my house.
Look this is Mel.
He's on his roof.
He's got a gun.
He's shooting at the dinosaurs?
Yeah.
Maybe that's a good thing.
It'll scare them away.
Yeah, or draw their attention.
He's a damn idiot.
I see you.
I'm going to send you back to extinction.
Go.
Get out of here.
No, no, no.
Kids, please.
This is my house.
You sons of bitches.
This is my house.
This is my house.
Help
me.
Somebody help me.
Help me.
Greg?
Greg?
Yeah?
What are we going to do?
We can't live like this.
There's got to be some way out of here.
We just all have to stay together.
How do you know that?
Well, I don't know for sure.
It's just what I feel.
Will you stop being so damn optimistic?
This is not going to be okay.
Well, what the hell do you want me to do?
I want you to be honest about the situation.
I want you to...
that we're stuck here for the rest of our lives.
That we need to be honest with our kids about what that means.
Everything I do is wrong.
All year, I've been trying to keep this family together, and all you've wanted to do is tear it apart.
How can you say that?
You never wanted to talk about anything or deal with anything, and you've been drinking and lying about your job.
How is that keeping the family together, Greg?
Well, I'm not the only one with all that typing in the basement.
I read your book, Denise.
You wanted to leave us for a long time, me and the kids.
No, that is not true.
Oh, no?
No, it's just a story.
It's just a story.
Bullshit!
It reads exactly like our lives.
You don't understand.
You don't understand.
Is this too much for you?
Is this too much?
You can't handle it?
How do you think I feel?
How do you think the kids feel?
Why did you stop loving us?
Starbuck?
No, no, no, no, Starbuck.
Brian!
Brian!
Starbuck!
Audrey?
Audrey?
Audrey!
Brian?
Greg!
Greg!
Where do you think they went?
I don't know.
I don't know.
We'll find them.
We'll find them.
I can't believe they did this.
Brian!
Audrey!
Starbuck!
Starbuck!
Brian!
Kids!
Audrey!
What is that?
What do I do?
Just keep going.
They'll get out of the way.
They're not moving.
Oh, God.
Maybe I can just drive around them.
Tap the horn.
Can we tell every animal in the neighborhood that we're here?
All right, well, drive up in the grass.
Reverse!
Reverse!
Go back!
Oh, my God!
Go!
Greg!
Okay, let's go!
Starbuck!
No!
Come on!
Come on!
It's coming again!
Oh, it's police.
Oh, God.
Go!
Go!
Go!
Starbuck!
Starbuck?
Was Starbuck funny when you hurt my brother?
No!
No!
When you broke his arm?
Stop!
Stop it!
I'm sorry, okay?
Stop!
You're gonna kill him!
He broke your arm!
I didn't mean to.
So what?
Who cares?
It doesn't matter anymore!
Leave!
I want to kill him!
Leave him alone!
Stop!
Get out of my face!
Leave him alone!
Leave him alone!
I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
I'm so sorry.
I don't know what I'm doing.
I don't know what's gonna happen to us.
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's just try to find Mom.
Let's go, please!
Let's go!
Come on.
Come on.
Come on.
Let's go.
Okay.
Come on.
Oh, my God!
What happened?
What happened?
Oh, your face looks like a pepperoni pizza.
Leave me alone.
I don't want to talk about it.
Why did you run away?
I saw Starbuck.
He was by the house, but he's gone now.
Where is he?
I don't know.
I can't find him.
Oh, Brian.
You know he might be...
Don't say it.
Come on.
Come on.
Help me!
Help me!
Help me!
Please!
Please!
Hey!
Stay away from her!
Stay away from her!
Hey!
Over here!
Stay away!
Help me!
Hey!
Where are you going?
Wait!
Come back!
Wait!
We're not going to hurt you.
Are you okay?
No.
Are you alone?
Your parents?
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
What's your name?
Jeanette.
Okay, I'm Audrey.
And that's my brother Brian.
Hi.
You can come with us.
We'll find somewhere safe.
Okay?
Thank you.
Brian!
Audrey!
Don't worry, Denise.
We'll find them.
They'll be okay.
Help me!
I think it's the light that Brian told us about.
Maybe this will take us back home, back to our time.
We need to find the kids and get back here as quick as we can.
You should go through it now.
What are you talking about?
I'll find the kids and we'll meet you on the other side.
Are we gonna go through it together or not at all?
I just want you to be safe.
I'm not getting separated from you and the kids.
Whose house is this?
I don't know, but I did find some mercuricrum and some bandages.
Jeanette, what was it like going to private school?
I never went to public school, so I don't know how different it is.
We don't pray at our school.
Yeah, you can pray wherever you want.
Nobody has to know.
I guess that's true.
Audrey, do you believe in God?
Not really.
I do.
Yeah, sometimes I don't either.
Does that hurt?
Yeah, a little bit.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
We gotta get home soon.
Mom and Dad are gonna be so worried.
Wait, shh.
Somebody's out there.
Ryan?
Audrey?
Mom!
Dad!
Audrey!
Oh, we love you so much.
I'm so sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm so happy you're here.
Dad!
Oh, Ryan.
I love you guys.
Dad?
This is Jeanette.
Hi, Jeanette.
She's all by herself.
Does she really need someone to stay with?
She can stay with us.
Yeah, of course she can.
Thank you.
Greg, we have to go that way to get home.
I know.
I want you guys to get back in that house and wait for us.
We're gonna make sure it's safe, okay?
Yeah.
Hurry.
Run, run, run.
Holy shit, they're doing it.
How is this funny?
I mean, it's...
Look at him.
Oh, you are silly.
I want to take a picture of you.
What?
Picture you, you know.
Denise, have you any idea how much danger we're in?
Please just pose for my photo.
I want to remember this insane, stupid moment.
Okay, hurry.
Take your crazy photo.
Smile.
Jeez.
Can we go now?
Yes.
Come on.
Maybe we should cut through the Samuelsons yard.
It might be faster.
No, this way is better.
Listen to your father.
Look at that.
Where'd the fire come from?
Did we stop that?
Maybe.
We gotta get out of here.
Maybe we can find another one of those portals.
Where do we even look?
It all seems so random, doesn't it?
Yeah.
When it gets dark, we need to get up someplace high.
Look for the light.
Okay, I'm not sure the numbers are this high.
Mom, Dad!
Run!
Run!
Run!
Help!
Dad, help!
Brian!
Over here!
Come on, hurry!
Hey!
Hey, get away from them!
Denise!
Get out of there!
Run!
Get back!
Denise!
Are you okay, baby?
Are you okay?
No, no, no,
no, no, no.
Mom.
Mom.
The fire.
What are we gonna do?
Everything's gonna burn down.
It's gonna reach the house.
I'm gonna go home.
I'm gonna figure it out.
Figure it out.
Well, how do you know what the hell's going to catch on fire?
I don't want to know.
Shut your eye for one second.
Just get off my back.
Did you see what the thing did to your father?
Mom!
Mom!
Yes.
Mom!
Mom!
I'm so sorry.
Mom!
Mom!
Mom!
Help!
Fuck!
Help!
Fuck!
Run!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
No!
Aah!
Aah!
Are you okay?
Mom, where are we gonna go?
We're gonna find somewhere safe.
There isn't anywhere.
Did you see that?
What?
What?
What is it?
There.
Top of the hill.
That's the same light Starbuck was barking at.
Your father and I saw it last night.
I think it might be a way home.
Really?
Grab anything you can use as a weapon.
We're gonna try and get out of here.
Okay.
-There
it is.
Isn't that Mrs. Valcourt's house?
The librarian?
Yeah.
We're gonna have to go through the house to get up there.
We need to time our jumps to get through it.
Do you want me to go first?
What?
We can't go together?
I think it's safer if we go one at a time.
It's hard to know where the end is.
I don't even know what's gonna happen to us.
I'm just trying to figure out the least scary way to handle this.
Mom, I want to go first.
You want to go first?
I don't know if it's gonna be your sister or me.
I know I did.
I'll see you over there.
What?
No, no, no, Jeanette!
Oh, my gosh!
Mom, can you see her?
I don't see anything.
Do you really want to go next?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Make sure you count it out.
I know.
I love you, Brian.
I love you.
It's okay.
It's okay.
We're gonna be right behind you.
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
4, 5, 6, 7, 8.
1, 2...
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Stop it!
Aah!
Aah!
Aah!
Get away from him!
Aah!
Are you okay?
Aah!
Ow, ow, ow, ow!
Aah!
I'm gonna come.
You're gonna come.
I'm coming right now.
Oh, my God.
Uh-oh.
It's okay.
We're almost there.
Come on.
Okay.
Get...
Get him, get him.
Get the...
Get the...
Get...
Get him.
Get him!
Help!
Help!
No!
NO!
Where are we going to go ?
When they come after me, I want you to get up there and jump.
I just want to die.
I just want to die.
No!
No!
Get away from them.
We're going to jump together!
How badly are they frozen?
What the hell are you doing in my pool?
Get out of there!
What?
You're in my backyard!
What year is it?
What kind of question is that?
It's 1982, obviously!
Are there any dinosaurs here?
What?
Have you seen any dinosaurs?
Get out of my yard!
You're all crazy!
I mean, we're safe.
Yeah.
We're safe.
We're people.
We're people.
All right.
We're safe.
All right.
We're safe.
I love you so much.
Wait, where's Jeanette?
Jeanette?
Oh, she's here.
We'll find her.
Where the hell is she?
Jeanette?
Jeanette?
Jeanette!
You made it.
Don't follow me.
You won't see this.
Jeanette?
Is that?
Yeah.
It's our neighborhood.
It's like nothing happened.
Wait a minute.
Mom, it's July 11.
This is the night it happened.
What time is it?
It's there.
No, no, no, no.
The portal happened at 1105.
We only have 20 minutes.
I have to find my parents.
No, wait.
I'll bring them up here.
I can make it.
Do not follow.
No, Audrey.
No, I'm not losing you.
Are we down there?
Another version of us?
I don't know.
All those people, Mom, we have to warn them.
There's no time.
They'll never believe us.
I need you to stay here with your brother, OK?
Promise me.
Do as I ask, OK?
OK, Mom.
OK?
Stay there.
Stay there.
1-4-9-2.
OK.
OK.
Mom, who did you call?
Please, Audrey, just trust me.
How many more minutes before it disappears?
Soon.
Why won't you tell me what's going on?
Listen.
What is it?
Mom, it's Dad.
It's Dad!
Denise?
What are you guys doing here?
What is this?
I'm so happy to see you.
I thought you'd be mad at me for doing deliveries.
Well, whatever you get to do, it doesn't matter.
We love you, Dad.
I love you so much.
I love you, too.
But why are you here?
What's going on?
I know we've been having problems with Greg.
I never want to be anywhere else but here with you.
You do?
Really?
Yes.
There's so much I have to tell you.
Oh, my God.
What the hell is happening?
Is that a fucking dinosaur?
Uh-huh, it is.
It was exactly two years ago today that the neighborhood of Flowervale disappeared in the middle of the night,
replaced by a two-mile circle of prehistoric forest.
Scientists and the U.S. military contained the area, capturing or killing dozens of prehistoric animals.
Many of the survivors owe their lives to the actions taken by Flowervale resident Denise Platt at that now-famous Hillside phone booth.
Denise called me, collect, and begged me to get in the car and go straight to the Hillside.
Thank God I did what she asked.
My husband thought she was crazy calling in the middle of the night, but there was something about her voice that made me listen.
I have a lot of respect for Denise Platt.
We didn't always get along, but hell.
She saved my life.
To this day, the cause of the event is unknown,
though there is increasing speculation about naturally occurring wormholes with the ability to swap patterns.
Mom, dinner's ready if you want to come eat.
Dad made barbecue.
- Okay, be right down,
- okay.
You
