[HUMMING]
[ENGINE STARTS]
[SHOWER RUNNING]
[WHIMPERING]
[HAMMERING]
[SERVICE BELL RINGS]
MORNING, HOPE.
HEY, GUYS.
Hope: KEEP AN EYE ON THE STORE FOR ME?
GOING INTO BRIDGETON.
GOT MY FIRST WEEKEND BACKPACKERS.
IN THE 2 YEARS WE BEEN HERE, LUKE HAD, WHAT, 6 HIKERS?
YOU'RE DOIN' GOOD.
YOU'RE DOING GREAT.
18.50.
HEY, LOGAN, I'VE GOT A MR. AND MRS. YEAGER
DRIVING THEMSELVES IN AS WELL THIS MORNING.
COULD YOU PUT THEM IN CABIN ONE FOR ME?
SURE.
UNLESS YOU WANT A TRIP TO TOWN WITH ME?
DAD?
DEAL'S A DEAL, SON.
TODAY'S THE DAY YOU SERVICE THE GENERATORS.
OH, WELL. GET YOU ANYTHING IN BRIDGETON?
NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF. CHECK WITH GEORGE.
YEAH, SURE.
HOW YOU DOING, HOPE?
CAN'T COMPLAIN. THANKS, GEORGE.
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER SLICE OF THAT, GEORGIE.
THIS IS MY NAVY BLEND. KEPT ME ALIVE IN KOREA.
I'M GOING INTO BRIDGETON. NEED ANYTHING?
I GOT IN SUPPLIES YESTERDAY. YOU WANT SOMETHING TO EAT?
NO, THANKS. LOST MY TASTE FOR COUNTRY BREAKFASTS.
SO, HOW'S BUSINESS?
GOT ANY OF THOSE TWILIGHT ZONERS THIS WEEKEND?
YEAH. MY FIRST BACKPACKERS.
MIND YOU, COME EVENING,
THEY'LL ALL EXPECT TO SIGHT A FEW ALIENS IN THE SKY.
LOOKING FOR FLYING SAUCERS?
BUNCH OF LOSERS.
YEAH, WELL, IT'S A LIVING, GUYS.
Hope: WHAT'S THAT DOING THERE?
GOT IT?
HEY, PAL, ANYONE SERVING HERE?
BE RIGHT WITH YOU, SIR.
LINO, YOU WANT TO GO HELP HIM?
Man: KEEP THE CHANGE, KID.
THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT SENSE OF TIME SOUTH OF THE BORDER?
I WAS BORN HERE IN BRIDGETON, LIKE MY DAD.
[LAUGHS]
YOU GOT A PROBLEM, LADY?
NOT YET.
YOU'RE NEW AROUND HERE, HUH?
NOT EXACTLY.
YOU EVER GET LONELY, I COME THROUGH HERE EVERY WEEK.
DON'T STOP.
HEY, YOU LUNAR EXPEDITIONS?
THAT'S ME.
THIS IS MY DAD. HE'S THE BACKPACKER AROUND HERE.
HEY, ABBY.
UH, MORNING. HOPE GLAXTON.
HI. THAD. NICE TO MEET YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU. THERE SHOULD BE ONE MORE.
THE NAME IS JACK. GLAD TO KNOW YOU.
FIRST TIME IN THIS PART OF THE COSMOS.
I MEAN IT NO HARM.
[ENGINE REVS]
WHAT THE--
WHAT--COME ON!
GOD!
[BRAKES HISSING]
[ENGINE DIES]
[METAL THUMPS]
HEY! SOMEBODY IN THERE? WHO'S IN THERE? HEY!
HEY!
WHAT'S GOING ON? WHO'S OUT THERE?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL? LET ME OUT OF HERE!
LUNAR WAS BUILT ON THE SITE
WHERE A METEORITE CRASHED THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?
WELL, I GREW UP HERE,
AND SO WHEN I CAME BACK HOME A FEW MONTHS AGO,
I HEARD THE CABINS WERE UP FOR SALE
SO I BOUGHT THEM AND MOVED IN.
LUNAR. SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD BE SOME PLACE IN NEW MEXICO.
DOESN'T IT?
YOU BEEN THERE?
I THINK TURQUOISE AND SILVER
SHOULD BE WORN SEPARATELY OR BANNED.
[BREATHES]
YOU LIVE IN VEGAS, RIGHT?
YEAH. THIS WEEK I DO.
SEE, MOM GETS ME PART TIME AND HE GETS ME PART TIME.
WHEN HE'S HERE.
WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL?
I'VE ABOUT RUN OUT OF SCHOOLS.
THAT'S ENOUGH, ABBY.
HUH?
GEORGE, SOME COFFEE.
George: YEAH. SURE THING.
HOW YOU DOING?
HEY, RAY.
[SERVICE BELL RINGS]
WHERE YOU GOING?
LET THE BOY DO IT. HE KNOWS HOW.
DOESN'T NEED WATCHING OVER ALL DAY. THIS ISN'T DETROIT.
I DON'T WATCH OVER HIM ALL DAY, DO I?
YOU MOTHER HIM.
HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE ANY LONGER, DOES HE?
RAY, IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS NOW.
I THINK HE'S DEALING WITH IT BETTER THAN YOU ARE.
SEE? HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING.
Abby: IS THERE ANY CHANCE I CAN GET A SHOWER WHEN WE GET THERE?
OH, YEAH. CABINS HAVE SHOWERS.
BUT ONCE WE'RE ON THE TRAIL, IT'S JUST THE RIVER.
PROVIDING A NIPPY IF EXISTENTIAL CLEANLINESS.
HOW FAR IS AREA 51 FROM LUNAR?
THERE IS NO AREA 51.
YEAH. HE SHOULD KNOW. HE WAS IN THE AIR FORCE THERE.
ABBY.
HEY, FOR REAL?
THERE'S NO AREA 51. IT'S A MILITARY BASE.
IT'S PART OF THE NUCLEAR TRIAD.
I FLEW CHOPPERS.
I NEVER SAW NO ALIENS, NO SAUCERS, AND NO UFOs.
THE GOVERNMENTS DON'T ALWAYS WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
YOU PEACE AND BROWN RICE GENERATION?
YOU STILL FLY THERE?
I LEFT THE MILITARY 7 YEARS AGO.
YEAH. HE GOT TIRED OF ALL THE MOVING AROUND.
NOW HE WORKS FOR THE OIL COMPANIES.
HE MOVES AROUND JUST AS MUCH, BUT A LOT FURTHER AWAY.
DAD!
Hope: THERE'S THAT IDIOT'S TRUCK.
Abby: THAT'S WEIRD. WHY'D HE STOP?
LET ME OUT OF HERE! [BANGING]
HEY, COME ON, PLEASE! LET ME OUT OF HERE!
IT'S FREEZING IN HERE!
WELL, THE BIG EXCITEMENT HAPPENED ABOUT 17 YEARS AGO,
BUT I WAS IN CHICAGO THEN, SO I NEVER SAW ANYTHING,
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY SAW SOME KIND OF UFO
HOVERING OVER THE BASE
AND LOTS OF LITTLE ALIENS CLIMBING DOWN.
LIKE THOSE ONES IN ROSWELL.
AND THE GOVERNMENT'S ALWAYS DENIED ANYTHING HAPPENED,
BUT YOU TRY GETTING ANYWHERE NEAR THE BASE...
DO YOU REALLY BUY INTO THAT STUFF?
A LOT OF PEOPLE FIND IT INTERESTING.
THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT OF PSYCHIC ENERGIES
IN PLACES OF GREAT EMPTINESS.
WHAT'S THAT?
Thad: WHY IS THAT TRUCK THERE?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
Hope: IT WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THIS MORNING.
[ENGINE STARTS]
MUST BE ONE OF PHIL'S.
WHAT'S IT DOING ON THE ROAD?
THAT'S WEIRD. I DON'T SEE HIM AROUND.
ALIENS AT LARGE.
NEED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO
BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS THEMSELF KILLED.
[HORN BLOWS]
I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE, PAL.
COME ON. SMILE.
UH-HUH.
HEY, ABBY.
LOOK OUT!
WHOA! WHOA!
COME ON! THIS WAY!
AW, MAN, THAT WAS WEIRD.
WHO IS DRIVING THAT TRUCK?
I'M GONNA CALL THE SHERIFF.
[GRUNTING]
HE'S COMING BACK!
WAS THERE ANYONE DRIVING?
NO, IT WAS DRIVING BY ITSELF. MANIAC.
[HORN BLOWING]
THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO DO THE GENERATOR?
DONE. IT WAS PRETTY CLEAN. LOOKED WORSE THAN IT WAS.
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO NOW?
KEEPING IT IN SHAPE FOR THE GUY WHEN HE COMES BACK.
WELL, HEAR TELL HE'S IN BALMAIN DOING 5 TO 10
FOR SOME DRUG THING. PROBABLY STOLEN.
BEEN MEANING TO TALK TO THE SHERIFF
ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL.
THERE'S NO WAY I'M LETTING YOU HAVE A MOTORCYCLE.
DAD, IT'S TOO QUIET HERE.
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA LOSE YOU, TOO.
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO MISSES HER, DAD.
I MISS HER, TOO.
[HORN HONKS]
THOSE SHOULD BE HOPE'S GUESTS.
HOPE ASKED ME TO DO THAT, DAD.
REMIND ME. WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
WELL, IT MAY NOT BE THE FRENCH RIVIERA, HONEY--
HOW WOULD I KNOW? NO ONE EVER TAKES ME THERE.
YOU THE YEAGERS?
USED TO BE. YOU'RE MEETING THE BUDGET VERSION.
WE'VE BEEN DRIVING ALL NIGHT.
WE'RE HERE FOR THE LUNAR NATURE TREK.
GREAT. YOUR TOUR LEADER'S GONE INTO BRIDGETON
TO PICK UP THE REST OF YOUR PARTY.
SHE'LL BE BACK IN AN HOUR.
IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN PUT YOUR STUFF IN CABIN ONE.
OH, A REAL CABIN.
BOY, WHAT FUN.
[CELL PHONE DIALING]
HAVE A GOOD TIME.
Brad: THANKS A LOT.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
DAD!
DAD! DAD! IT'S HOPE! SHE'S HAD AN ACCIDENT!
THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING. NO ONE.
THERE HAD TO BE SOMEBODY DRIVING WITH THEIR HEAD DOWN.
TRUCKS DON'T DRIVE BY THEMSELVES.
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED AROUND HERE.
PLEASE.
IDIOT.
UNH! IDIOT!
YOU OK?
NO.
I JUST WISH I WASN'T HERE.
YEAH. I KNOW.
[FLY ZIPS]
Abby: NO, IT IS NOT OK! I WANT TO GO HOME NOW!
Thad: AS SOON AS THIS GUY ARRIVES,
HE'LL TAKE US INTO LUNAR,
AND WE'LL GET ON WITH OUR WEEKEND.
I TOTALLY DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN THE FIRST PLACE!
ABBY, THE FACT IS WE'RE ALREADY HERE,
SO JUST COOL IT.
WHEN YOU'RE STRESSED, IT'S GOOD TO MEDITATE.
ARE YOU NUTS?
PROBABLY.
HELPS ME BACK HOME DOWN BY THE OCEAN.
BIG SUR. YOU KNOW IT?
YEAH, I HEARD OF IT. LOTS OF WAVES, HUH?
I RUN A BOOKSTORE THERE.
YOU SELL CRYSTALS, TOO?
LOOK, TRUCKS DON'T DRIVE THEMSELVES, OK?
MAYBE IT JUST WANTED SOME...COMPANY.
Bob: COME ON NOW, BABY. GET UP THERE.
[CHUCKLES]
GET UP THERE!
WELL, TIME TO HIT THE ROAD, I GUESS.
GEORGIE.
GEORGIE! COULD YOU FIX ME A BLT TO GO?
George: YOU BET.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
MMM.
COUNTRY FOOD.
RURAL.
YOU USED TO LOVE THIS STUFF.
WE WENT BACKPACKING ALL THE TIME.
I WAS 19 AND I DIDN'T HAVE NAILS.
YOU HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR.
OH, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT?
WEEKEND BREAK WAS YOUR IDEA.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE DRIVING ALL NIGHAND END UP ON THE MOON.
NEXT TIME, I'LL STICK THE PIN IN THE MAP.
NO! NO! NO!
AAH!
George: HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
DARN.
[JUKEBOX DIES]
LOGAN, GO KICK ON THOSE GENERATORS, WILL YOU?
BOTH OF THEM.
MMM, BREAKFAST BY CANDLELIGHT.
BE A SPORT, JUNE.
I'VE BEEN A SPORT EVER SINCE WE GOT MARRIED,
AND WHERE HAS IT GOTTEN ME?
HEY, PETE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
Pete: NOW, WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT THEN?
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
HELLO?
LOGAN--
LO--LOGAN?
HELLO?
DAD?
SON? CAN YOU HEAR ME?
LOGAN! LO--
STATIC.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THAT?
Jack: OH, THAT'S STRANGE.
I DON'T SUPPOSE THERE WILL BE POWER AT THE HILTON THERE.
LIGHTEN UP, HONEY. LET'S HAVE A LITTLE FUN.
OOH! IN THIS DUMP? NO ONE COMES HERE TO HAVE FUN.
WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD A TRIP TO EUROPE.
Brad: NEXT YEAR, TO PROVENCE!
[TRUCK HORN BLARES]
PROVENCE! PROVENCE!
June: PROMISES, PROMISES.
PROVENCE. PROVENCE.
LUNAR. LUNAR.
PROVENCE.
LUNAR. LUNAR.
[LAUGHING]
[TRUCK ENGINE ROARING]
[HORN BLARING]
OH!
PROVENCE.
OH! AHH!
[LAUGHING]
Pete: NOW, WHOSE TRUCK IS THAT?
WHAT'S HE DOING?
[HORN HONKING]
WHERE'S HOPE?
SHE WENT OVER HERE.
[WATER RUNNING]
PHIL.
SOME IDIOT WENT CRAZY. WIPED OUT HER VAN.
ME, TOO. SOME DRUNKEN NUT CASE.
YOU, TOO? A BIG SILVER REFRIGERATED?
Jack: THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING.
[GASPS] OH, MY--THERE'S--
IT'S OK.
OH, MY GOD. IT'S--IT'S PHIL.
IS HE--?
NOTHING I COULD DO. NO PULSE. NOTHING.
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
LET'S GO!
I WANT TO GO HOME!
WE'RE GOING TO LUNAR!
EASY ON THE OFFSPRING!
WE GOT A ROGUE KILLER OUT THERE HEADED FOR LUNAR.
MY SON'S THERE. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING.
ABBY, YOU'RE GOING WITH US.
I AM NOT GOING!
YOU'RE COMING WITH US, ABBY.
TRIED TO REACH THE SHERIFF. CAN'T GET THROUGH.
YOU OK?
NO. I'M SCARED TO DEATH.
WELL, WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
WHAT'S HE TRYING TO PROVE?
CRAZIEST THING I EVER SAW.
Bob: UNBELIEVABLE.
Pete: BOB, CAN YOU SEE WHO'S DRIVING THAT TRUCK?
I'M OUTTA HERE.
BACK OFF!
CRAZY FOOL!
WHO THE HELL IS IT?
THERE'S NO ONE DRIVING.
[HORN BLOWS]
I GOT A RIFLE IN THE TRUCK. WE'LL BLOW HIS TIRES OUT.
YOU BE CAREFUL, BOB.
I DON'T GET IT! WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?!
Pete: I TELL YOU WHAT, SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
[TV CRACKLES]
George: HEY, QUIET. SOMETHING'S COMING ON THE TV.
LISTEN TO THIS.
Sheriff: ELECTRICITY IS OUT FOR MOST AREAS.
WE'RE ASKING EVERYBODY NORTH OF BRIDGETON
TO JUST HOLD ON.
IT'LL BE AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE WE CAN GET TO YOU.
EVERYONE SHOULD STAY INSIDE.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF WATER.
WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT CHEMICALS
THE TANKER WAS CARRYING,
BUT AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM IS ON ITS WAY.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE AIRPORT HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN
BECAUSE OF THE TOXIC CLOUD
SO IT'LL BE SOME HOURS BEFORE THAT TEAM
CAN GET TO US TO HELP WITH THE CLEANUP.
IN THE MEANTIME, ONCE AGAIN, WE ASK EVERYONE TO STAY INSIDE,
AND WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED.
AND--AND JUST HANG ON.
I REPEAT, JUST HANG ON.
[STATIC]
BASE, THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601. DO YOU COPY? OVER.
BASE, THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601. DO YOU COPY? OVER.
[STATIC]
YEAH, WE'RE ABOUT 30 MILES EAST OF GROUND ZERO.
ROGER THAT.
BETTER SUIT UP.
OH, MY GOD.
WHAT?
THAT GUY'S INSANE!
WHAT'S HE DOING?
Ray: EVERYBODY ALL RIGHT?
Jack: HEY!
Abby: AAH!
Thad: FLOOR IT!
MAN!
HEY, JUST FLOOR IT, MAN!
EVERYBODY HOLD ON!
WHOO!
WELL, THAT'S THE END OF THE HOT WATER.
WELL, I'M NOT STAYING HERE ANOTHER MINUTE!
DAMN IT, BOB, I'M GOING FOR MY TRUCK AGAIN.
SO YOU MAKE IT AND THAT BIG BASTARD JUST RAMS YOU.
CAN'T GET NOTHIN' ON THE CB. IT'S ALL DEAD.
IF ALL THE CBs ARE ON THE FRITZ, WE GOT A MESS OUT THERE.
YOU GOT A RIFLE IN HERE?
THE BOSS, HE DOESN'T LIKE GUNS.
WHAT THE--
HE'S AIMING RIGHT FOR US!
[HORN BLOWING]
HEY!
DON'T ASK 'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW.
COME ON. WE CAN'T JUST STAND HERE.
I DON'T KNOW, BOB.
TV: ...INTO TOWN ARE CUT OFF.
JUST SAID ALL THE ROADS TO LUNAR ARE CUT OFF.
Reporter: GOT A MESSAGE THROUGH BEFORE HIS CB WENT DOWN.
WE'RE HEARING A LOT OF REPORTS OF CBs DOWN.
PROBABLY SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
IS THE BEST GUESS SO FAR.
NOW, WE REPEAT, THIS IS A MAJOR CHEMICAL SPILL.
STATE EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE ON THEIR WAY TO START A CLEANUP.
WE'VE HEARD THAT EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF THIS STUFF
ON YOUR TIRES COULD PROVE HAZARDOUS.
FRICTION, FIRE, DANGEROUS SMOKE...
IF INHALED COULD ACTUALLY PROVE FATAL.
SO, PLEASE, IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE AREA,
DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO ENTER BRIDGETON,
AND WHEREVER YOU ARE, JUST STAY INSIDE.
AS SOON AS THERE IS CLEARANCE,
THEY WILL BE CHOPPERING OUT TO YOU.
JUST HANG ON, FOLKS. THEY WILL GET TO YOU.
"JUST HANG ON"?
YEAH, SURE. JUST HANG ON FOR WHAT?
HEY, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE MOPPING UP HERE ANYWAY?
BC972.
NO SHIT.
NO SHIT.
HEY, I BETTER GO CHECK ON OUR EQUIPMENT.
[MOTOR WHIRRING]
[BANGING]
[CRUNCH]
[TIRES SCREECH]
WHAT THE--
[HONK HONK]
WHAT THE HELL?
[MOTOR WHIRRING]
[REVVING]
[HONK]
OW!
[REVERSE ALARM BEEPING]
WHY, YOU LITTLE--
[SCREECH]
VERY CUTE.
ALL RIGHT, KIDS, COME ON OUT RIGHT NOW.
[BEEP BEEP]
OW!
SON OF A BITCH!
COME ON OUTTA HERE, YOU KIDS!
AAH!
OOF!
OH...
[BEEPING]
[GROANS]
[HONK HONK]
[HORN BLOWING]
[HORN BLOWING]
[HONK HONK] [ENGINE STARTS]
HEY, THAT'S MY TRUCK!
GODDAMN IT! STOP!
WHAT THE--
HEY! NOW IT'S MY TRUCK!
[BEEPING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[HONK]
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY OUT!
Logan: COME ON, THIS WAY!
Abby: HELP!
IT'S MY DAMN TRUCK!
THANKS. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
LOGAN PORTER.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
George: WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
I DON'T KNOW.
Jack: THEY WANT THE ATTENTION.
Ray: WHAT?
THEY'RE MAKING A STATEMENT.
WHAT?
YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA?
LET'S JUST HOPE THEY HAVEN'T LEARNED TO READ.
I ALWAYS KNEW THE INDUSTRIAL AGE WOULD END IN CHAOS.
IT'S OUR FAULT.
WE DON'T DESERVE THIS PLANET, THE WAY WE MISUSE IT.
THESE TRUCKS WILL USE IT BETTER?
COULDN'T DO IT ANY WORSE.
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
PHONES ARE OUT.
Abby: DAMN IT!
Brad: HEY.
IT'S NOT RUNNING.
I'M GONNA CHECK IT OUT. KEEP AN EYE ON MY WIFE.
HONEY, I'LL JUST BE IN HERE.
STAY WITH THESE GUYS, OK?
HEY.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
JUNE YEAGER.
HEY, I'M ABBY.
LISTEN, DO YOU SMOKE?
I QUIT.
GOD, WHY'D YOU DO THAT?
IF YOU HAD A SINGLE IDEA THAT REALLY--
I GOT IDEAS. I SURE HAVE IDEAS.
RAY.
WHAT?
I'M SORRY.
I...
[ARGUING LOUDLY]
HEY, HEY, HEY!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
BUT THE BEST CHANCE WE HAVE IS TO REMEMBER
THAT WE'RE SMARTER THAN THEY ARE.
YEAH, MOST OF US ANYWAY.
I HAVE A THEORY.
OH, GREAT.
YOU KNOW THAT RECENT COMET SHOWER?
GO ON. I'M LISTENING.
2 WEEKS AGO.
SEE, IT COULD HAVE BOMBARDED OUR ATMOSPHERE
WITH ALIEN PARTICLES WHICH SOMEHOW INTERFERED
WITH OUR ENERGY SIGNALS,
AFFECTING RADIO WAVES, ELECTRICITY,
ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
THESE TRUCKS ARE OPERATING ON AN ACCIDENTAL ENERGY WAVE
WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE AN INTELLIGENCE BEHIND IT--
NO.
IT'S PROBABLY JUST A RANDOM...
Bob: YEAH, YEAH, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, 30 YEARS AGO,
THESE FELLAS ALMOST BROUGHT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
BUT WHY TRUCKS?
I'LL TELL YOU WHY. 2 WORDS: AREA 51.
ANY TIME ANYTHING HAPPENS AROUND HERE,
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS POINTING AT AREA 51.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT! YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT!
SECRET BASE THAT DOESN'T EXIST, BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT.
NO ONE'S EVER ALLOWED IN. WHAT'S IT FOR?
THIS IS ONE BIG GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY.
I'M TELLING YOU.
THE GOVERNMENT'S TAKING OVER THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
WELL, I DON'T THINK SO.
WELL, NOW, COME ON.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?! WHAT HAVE WE GOT?!
HUH?
WE GOT A RADIO OUTAGE, A POWER OUTAGE,
WE GOT CRAZY MACHINES RUNNING AROUND OUTSIDE!
WE GOT A POISON CLOUD! THAT'S PROBABLY A VIRUS.
THEY'RE TESTING SOMETHING.
IT'S A GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT,
AND WE'RE JUST THE LITTLE WHITE MICE.
AREA 51.
NOTHING GOES ON THERE
THAT WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
WELL, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?
'CAUSE I WAS IN THE AIR FORCE.
I FLEW CHOPPERS OUT OF THERE FOR 2 YEARS.
IT IS STRICTLY MILITARY.
WELL, THEN, YOU'RE PART OF IT.
YOU JUST HAPPENED TO BE HERE ON A CAMPING TRIP?
HUH?
RIGHT?
YEAH.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, DON'T YOU?
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON,
AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL US RIGHT NOW.
HEY, HEY!
HEY.
WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?
I KEPT IT OUT OF YOUR WAY.
I'M SORRY, RAY. IT BELONGED TO MY DAD.
KIND OF A SENTIMENTAL THING.
WE COULD TRY AND TAKE OUT THEIR TIRES.
YOU WON'T BLOW OUT ANY OF OUR TIRES
WITH THAT PEASHOOTER. THAT'S JUST A .22.
LISTEN TO ME!
WHOA, WHOA.
YOU GUYS ARE NOT GONNA BUST UP MY PLACE
AND PUT THE REST OF US IN JEOPARDY!
WE ACT TOGETHER!
T.V. Announcer: AND NOW, A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN.
THE LATEST WE HAVE ON THIS TOXIC SUBSTANCE
IS THAT IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BC972.
IT'S USED IN THE SPACE INDUSTRY AS A COMPONENIN AN ADHESIVE MATERIAL USED IN ROCKETRY.
THAT'S ALL THEY'LL TELL US AT THIS STAGE,
BUT WE WILL BRING YOU MORE INFORMATION
ON THIS BREAKING NEWS STORY AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE TO US.
WHAT IF THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING?
INANIMATE OBJECTS ABLE TO THINK.
THEY COULD MAKE US THEIR SLAVES.
WHAT THE HELL?
SHIT.
BC972?
LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF GODDAMN AREA 51 TO ME.
NO. THIS IS THAT CHEM-WARFARE STUFF
WE AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING ANYMORE.
YOU BETTER SUIT UP, BUDDY.
I'LL GO CHECK ON THE GEAR.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. I'D BETTER CALL THIS ONE IN.
BASE. THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601. COME IN.
[RADIO STATIC]
THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601.
BASE, COME IN.
[RADIO STATIC]
I REPEAT, THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601.
BASE, COME IN.
[BEEP]
THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601.
BASE, COME IN.
OVER.
DAMN.
AAH!
AAH!
AAH!
AAH!
DAMN. THAT WAS FAST.
WHAT DID YOU DO, CUT YOURSELF OR SOMETHING?
OH!
OH!
[ENGINE STARTS]
Logan: I THOUGHT I HEARD A GUNSHOT.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING OVER THERE?
MY DAD WILL BE WORKING ON SOMETHING.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
WE'RE WAITING FOR A BUNCH OF REDNECKS TO SAVE US.
MY DAD'S NOT A REDNECK. WE'RE FROM DETROIT.
DETROIT. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HE DECIDED TO RELOCATE.
I DIDN'T GET TO VOTE.
YEAH, WELL,
PARENTS CAN BE SERIOUSLY HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
I ONLY GOT ONE LEFT.
I STILL GOT 2,
BUT ONLY ONE AT A TIME.
Brad: ANY TOOLS HERE?
YEAH. SHE KEEPS 'EM IN THE BACK.
THE CARBURETOR'S CLOGGED, BUT IF I CAN CLEAN IT,
I CAN GET THAT PICKUP GOING, AND WE ARE OUT OF HERE.
HE'S GOOD WITH CARS.
HE'S ALWAYS WORKING ON ONE OR TWO AT THE HOUSE.
I THINK THAT'S REALLY WHAT HE WANTS TO DO,
JUST WORK ON CARS.
SO WHAT DOES HE DO?
SELLS THEM.
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT WITH THE GUN?
HE WON'T ALLOW GUNS ON THE PROPERTY.
HE LOST HIS WIFE 2 YEARS AGO
IN A RANDOM DRIVE-BY GANG SHOOTING IN DETROIT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE KEPT IT AROUND.
IT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING YOU DID.
Thad: RAY, COME HERE A MINUTE.
LOOK AT THIS.
YOU THINK THAT PIPE'S BIG ENOUGH TO CRAWL THROUGH?
YEAH.
YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE.
IF THEY MAKE A SURPRISE RUN FOR IT,
THEY'LL BE SAFE IN THERE.
MEANWHILE WE CAN DISTRACT THESE TRUCKS SOMEHOW,
AND THEY CAN GET BACK IN HERE.
YEAH, IT'S WORTH A TRY.
THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU.
WHAT?
THERE'S SOME HIGH-POWERED RADIO TELESCOPES
AT THAT AIR FORCE BASE.
SO?
IT'S UNUSUAL.
I DON'T KNOW IF NASA SET IT UP OR WHAT,
BUT NASA HAD A PROGRAM CALLED S.E.T.I.--
SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE.
CONGRESS CUT THE FUNDING ON THAT, DIDN'T THEY?
YEAH, AFTER ONLY ABOUT A YEAR.
RIGHT.
WHAT?
THIS GROUP OF SCIENTISTS GOT SOME PRIVATE FUNDING,
AND THEY TOOK OVER MOST OF NASA's SCOPES
AND THEIR COMPUTERS, AND THEY'RE STILL LISTENING.
IT'S CALLED PROJECT PHOENIX.
YOU THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?
NOT REALLY.
WHAT IF I'M WRONG?
DON'T TELL THEM.
HEY, HEY, LOGAN.
COME HERE.
Abby: WHAT DRAINAGE PIPE?
THE ONE OVER THERE.
[ENGINE STARTS]
OH, NO, NO!
AAH!
AAH!
OH!
AAH!
BRAD!
AAH!
OH!
AAH!
Logan: GET BACK!
BRAD! AAH!
NO!
MURDERER!
[SOBBING HYSTERICALLY]
AAH!
AAH!
[HORNS HONKING]
LET ME GO!
LET GO OF ME!
TAKE HER TO THE BOOTHS.
TAKE HER DOWN TO THE BOOTH DOWN THERE.
IT'S OK, JUNE.
THEY'RE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
WHAT?
THEY'RE COMMUNICATING.
WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
[HORNS HONKING]
Hope: RAY.
YEAH?
GET SOMETHING TO CALM HER DOWN AND A BLANKET.
WATCH IT, WATCH IT, WATCH IT.
SOME SEDATIVES.
YOU'RE OK.
GEORGE, WATER.
I'M GONNA TAKE MY CHANCES.
Logan: AND GO WHERE?
WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS.
THAT'S SMART.
I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE ANYMORE, LOGAN.
I CAN'T.
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.
WE HAVE AN ESCAPE ROUTE.
WE HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH MY DAD ACROSS THE ROAD.
HE'LL TELL US WHEN.
WHEN, THOUGH?
HE'LL KNOW. JUST--
JUST HANG IN WITH ME, OK?
WANT TO TRY TO SLEEP NOW?
DO YOU STILL TAKE THESE?
NOT VERY OFTEN.
THEY'RE VERY STRONG.
I WAS AN R.N. BEFORE I WAS MARRIED.
GEORGE TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR WIFE. I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR YOU.
LOGAN, TOO.
I...
I BROUGHT HIM OUT HERE SO HE'D BE SAFE.
NO GANGS, NO GUNS.
I...
I WON'T LET HIM DIE.
NEITHER WILL I.
I CAME BACK HERE
BECAUSE IT'S WHERE I FEEL SAFE.
I HAD A MARRIAGE THAT TURNED NASTY.
VIOLENCE, SEPARATION...
RESTRAINING ORDERS.
THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.
THIS WAS A GOOD PLACE TO GROW UP.
IT'S STILL A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE.
IT IS.
Thad: ABBY, NO!
Thad: GO BACK!
LOOK OUT!
THAT WAS STUPID.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME.
NO, WAIT! WAIT, WAIT!
ABBY!
AAH!
AAH!
THEY'RE GONNA SUFFOCATE THEM.
OH, MY GOD.
Ray: GET AWAY FROM MY SON!
COME ON!
COME AND GET ME!
Ray: ME, THAT'S RIGHT!
RAY!
[HORN HONKS]
WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!
[HORN HONKS]
[HORN HONKS]
WHAT THE HELL'S...?
LOGAN!
Logan: DAD!
Ray: YOU TWO ALL RIGHT?
SO FAR!
THIS COULD BE OUR CHANCE.
WELL, I TELL YOU WHAT, BOB.
WHAT'S THAT, PETE?
THAT MAN'S BOY IS OUTSIDE.
YOU FOOL WITH HIM, HE'LL MESS YOU UP.
YEAH, WELL, I DON'T TAKE ORDERS
FROM TRUCKS OR PUNK JOCKEYS.
I ONLY WANT WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MINE.
Logan: DAD!
I'M HERE, SON. I'M HERE.
WHY DID THE TRUCKS STOP?
I DON'T KNOW. THAT ONE TRUCK HONKING,
HE MAY BE GIVING ORDERS TO THE OTHER ONES,
BUT I'M NOT SURE.
ALL RIGHT.
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GOING HOME.
OH, NOT RIGHT NOW.
Hope: RAY!
PEACE, BROTHER.
ALL RIGHT, SON.
LISTEN.
I WANT YOU TO STICK YOUR HEAD OUT, OK?
BUT IF THE TRUCK GOES INTO GEAR,
I WANT YOU TO PULL BACK, ALL RIGHT?
[COUGHING]
ALL RIGHT.
OK.
OK, DO IT NOW.
Ray: OK, GOOD, GOOD.
OK, A LITTLE MORE.
GET READY TO PULL BACK.
RAY!
GET BACK INSIDE!
NO WAY.
NOW!
YOU'RE BLUFFING... AND I KNOW IT.
DAD, WHAT'S GOING ON?
ALL RIGHT, SON.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME GUTS, OK?
I WANT YOU TO ROLL OUT UNDER THE TRUCK,
AND THEN I WANT YOU TO POSITION YOURSELF
BETWEEN THE BACK WHEELS, OK?
WHAT?
IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
MY DAD'S GOT THE TRUCKS SPOOKED SOMEHOW.
THEN I WANT YOU TO SLIDE FORWARD TOWARDS ME.
OK, DAD.
OK?
STAY THERE, PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, SON.
ALL RIGHT. SLOW, NOW. SLOW, NOW.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.

Logan: COME ON, ABBY.
Abby: I CAN'T.
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT.
YES, YOU CAN.
COME ON, SON, COME ON.
Logan: COME ON, ABBY. IF THE TRUCKS DON'T GET YOU
THIS AFTERNOON, THE RATS WILL TONIGHT.
Ray: ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
OK, SWEETHEART. COME ON.

OK, COME ON. BETWEEN THE TIRES NOW.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.

YEAH, THAT'S GOOD, GOOD.
COME ON, COME ON.
GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA NOW, STOP!
Ray: DON'T LOOK BACK!
DON'T LOOK BACK! RUN!
COME ON, COME ON!
DADDY.
YOU OK?
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HERE?
THAT GUY SAW AN OPPORTUNITY.
HE ALMOST GOT THESE KIDS KILLED.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED OUT THERE?
I GOT TICKED. IT SEEMED TO WORK.
IT DIDN'T WORK FOR HIM.
YOU GOT SOME KIND OF INFLUENCE ON THEM TRUCKS.
WHAT ABOUT THAT REFRIGERATED TRUCK?
IT WAS CALLING THE SHOTS.
WHEN IT HONKED, THE OTHERS STOPPED.
THEY'RE GETTING SMART.
WELL, WE GOTTA STAY SMARTER.
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
DAMN!
[OPENS BOTTLE]
CAN YOU PLEASE DO THIS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
NO. YOU'RE DOING FINE.
JUST USE THE ANTISEPTIC, OK?
I'M GONNA GO LOOK AT THAT STUPID TRUCK DRIVER.
SIT UP.
SIT UP. COME ON.
Thad: ABBY...
ABBY, I'M SORRY I GOT YOU INTO THIS.
GUESS I HAVEN'T BEEN THE GREATEST FATHER.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
I WOULDN'T BE THE RIGHT PERSON TO ASK.
I HARDLY EVER SEE YOU, RIGHT?
HONEY.
YOU WENT AWAY TO THE GULF FOR 18 MONTHS,
AND WHEN YOU CAME BACK
YOU AND MOM DIDN'T EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER ANYMORE.
THAT WAS FUN.
LOOK, PEOPLE GROW APART. THEY MAKE MISTAKES.
CAN YOU JUST KEEP STILL, PLEASE?
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA LIVE.
GUESS YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO GET USED TO ME THEN.
DO YOU WANT ME TO GET YOU A SODA OR SOMETHING?
NO. I'M OK.
BUT THANKS.
I WOULDN'T GO TOO FAR.
THOSE TRUCKS ARE GETTING REAL SMART.
HEY, YOU MUST HAVE A CIGARETTE.
SORRY.
SPACED OUT 50-YEAR-OLD FLOWER CHILD
WHO QUIT SMOKING. WHAT'S THE WORLD COMING TO?
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A JOINT, THEN.
HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT?
PEOPLE CHANGE, ABBY.
YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
WHY?
THINK WE'RE GONNA GET OUT OF HERE, LIKE, HONESTLY?
SURE.
HOW?
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
EVERYWHERE ELSE.
WHY IS EVERYBODY DYING?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M JUST AN OLD HIPPIE.
NO. NO, YOU'RE OK.
RAY.
WHERE'S MRS. YEAGER?
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
Hope: MRS. YEAGER!
HEY!
DON'T!
COME BACK!
Jack: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
MRS. YEAGER!
LOOK OUT!
HEY!
[EVERYONE SHOUTING]
[TRUCK HORNS HONKING]
ABBY.
RAY, THIS IS CRAZY. WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
WE STAY PUT.
NO, NO.
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
I KNOW THE TRAILS. I CAN GET US OUT OF HERE.
THE SHERIFF KNOWS WHERE WE'RE AT.
AS SOON AS THEY CLEAN UP THE CHEMICAL STUFF
THEY'LL BE HERE.
MEANTIME, WE TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS AND WAIT.
YOU CAN'T JUST DO NOTHING. IT DOESN'T WORK.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
NO, NO. IN THE END
YOU PROTECT THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?
WE WAIT.
THIS IS MY WAY OUT OF HERE.
YOU AND ME, BABY.
NOISE. GETS TO YOU, DOESN'T IT?
YEAH. NOISE IS ALWAYS THE WORST.
REMINDS ME OF INCHON. WHO?
THE INCHON LANDING. THE KOREAN WAR.
YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT.
I TRY NOT TO LET MYSELF PROCESS WARS.
KOREA, HUH? BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, KOREANS.
YEAH.
GAVE GINSENG TO THE WORLD.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
NOW I KNOW HOW MAYOR DALEY FELT IN CHICAGO, '68.
YOU THERE, TOO?
SURE. YOU, TOO?
YEP.
GRAVEYARD OF OUR YOUTH, HUH?
YOU WERE THERE, TOO? MICHIGAN AVENUE? THE RIOT?
I WAS THERE. AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE NAVY,
I JOINED THE POLICE.
Ray: GEORGE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[HONKING]
WELL...THEY'RE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
HERE. GET SOME SOUP INTO YOU.
HE'S A GOOD MAN. WHERE'D YOU FIND HIM?
HIM AND MY DAD SERVED TOGETHER IN KOREA.
IT'S SWEET. HE'S DEVOTED TO YOU AND LOGAN.
HE DOESN'T HAVE LONG TO LIVE.
HIS LIVER'S SHOT. HE CAME HERE TO DIE.
WELL, HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW.
[HONKING]
NOW WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING.
THEY'RE TELLING US SOMETHING.
TELLING US WHAT, RAY?
THAT YOU'RE RIGHT.
GEORGE, GET THE MAPS. LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
THERE'S A TRAIL FROM THIS PASS
THAT WINDS ALONG THE RIDGE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES,
THEN IT TURNS NORTH HERE
AND DROPS DOWN INTO SOME OLD GRAVEL PITS.
IT'S THE BEST PLACE TO LAND A HELICOPTER AROUND HERE.
WE HAD SOME TRAINING EXERCISES THERE.
IT'S A LONG WAYS.
I'LL MAKE IT. I'LL MEET YOU THERE AT FIRST LIGHT.
LOGAN, WHAT SHAPE'S THE MOTORCYCLE IN?
YOU WERE LATE GETTING IT BACK IN THE GARAGE LAST WEEK.
I SAW YOU. IS IT GASSED UP?
YEAH.
IT'S YOUR BEST BET. TAKE THE MOTORCYCLE.
WON'T THE TRUCKS CHASE HIM?
WAIT TILL NIGHT. I'LL DISTRACT THEM.
YOU'RE UP FOR IT?
I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
WHAT IF THEY WON'T GIVE YOU A HELICOPTER?
I'LL STEAL ONE.
LET'S GO, BOYS.
HA HA HA!
I GOT A LITTLE PRESENT FOR YOU!
[DRUNKENLY] MY TRUCK!
THAT IS MY TRUCK! YOU BASTARD!
HEY!
NO!
IT'S OK, BABY. I SAVED YOU.
COME ON, BABY. COME ON.
WHAT--AAH!
DAMN!
NO! AAH!
[HORN BLARING]
[SIGHS]
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I KNOW.
WE EVER GONNA GET OUT OF HERE?
SURE WE ARE.
HEY.
WHAT?
THANKS FOR HELPING ME OUT OF THAT PIPE.
IT WASN'T ME. IT WAS MY DAD.
NO. YOU DID IT, TOO.
YOU SCARED?
YEAH.
I'M SORRY I HIT YOU.
I'M OVER IT.
ALL RIGHT...
I GOT A COMPASS HERE. THAT MIGHT HELP.
THOUGH I--HEY! HEY!
Logan: THEY TOOK OUT OUR WATER PUMP.
[HONKING]
THEY GOT THE GENERATOR.
LOGAN!
LOGAN! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF KILLED!
Hope: HURRY! HURRY!
TRUCK'S COMING!
Ray: KEEP IT COVERED. WE DON'T WANT THEM TO SEE IT.
[HONKING]
RAY, COME HERE!
[TELEPHONE IN BOOTH RINGS]
George: I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE NEXT.
SHH! LISTEN.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
Ray: IT'S THE PHONE. OUTSIDE.
[RING]
[TRUCKS HONKING]
George: WHO COULD THAT BE?
[RING]
DAD, IT COULD BE A RESCUE PARTY OR SOMETHING.
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO ANSWER IT.
COULD BE A TRICK, TOO.
TRUCKS DIAL PHONES NOW?
WE SHOULD LET IT RING. IT'S NOT SAFE OUT THERE.
[RING] LET IT RING.
[RING]
[RING]
SOMEONE'S OUT THERE.
[RING]
ABBY! ABBY!
ABBY, NO!
AAH!
[SOBBING] I'M SORRY, DAD! I'M SORRY!
I'M SCARED SO BAD!
I'M GONNA GET YOU OUT OF HERE, I PROMISE.
MY GOD, YOU JUST MADE IT.
NO. THEY LET ME ESCAPE.
WHAT?
George: I THINK THEY'RE ABOUT OUT OF PATIENCE.
Hope: THEY'RE COMING.
Ray: LOOK OUT!
DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! EVERYBODY GET DOWN!
[HONKING]
[HONKING]
THEY WANT US TO DO SOMETHING.
I KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
DAD, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
THEY'RE TALKING TO ME.
THAT'S WHAT ALL THESE WARNINGS ARE ABOUT. THEY WANT FUEL.
THAT'S WHY THEY LET YOU OUT OF THE DRAINAGE PIPE.
THEY WANT TO KEEP THE ONE WHO FEEDS THEM HAPPY.
NOW THEY WANT ME TO RETURN THE FAVOR.
THAD, COME HERE. COME HERE.
I'M GONNA GO FUEL THE TRUCKS.
WHEN THEY ALL COME TO THE GAS PUMPS,
THAT'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO GET OUT OF THE VALLEY.
AFTER THAT, STAY OFF THE ROADS, OK?
WE'RE NOT GONNA LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
WE'RE GONNA NEED FOOD AND WATER, OK?
ALL RIGHT. YOU OK?
YEAH.
OK, KEEP AN EYE ON THEM.
YOU BET.
THANKS FOR SAVING THE HARLEY.
I DO THIS ALONE.
NO! YOU'RE GONNA NEED HELP!
NO ARGUMENTS!
[HORN BLARES]
IT KNOWS.
AS SOON AS THEY START PUMPING THE GAS...
YEAH. GOOD LUCK. HEY, KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN.
YEAH.
WHAT WOULD GAS DO IN A DIESEL ENGINE?
ROT ITS GUTS.
GREAT IDEA.
I'LL SEE YOU FIRST LIGHT TOMORROW, HUH?
YOU STAY CLOSE TO RAY AND HOPE.
YOU'RE LEAVING ME?
IT'LL BE THE LAST TIME.
OK. OK. [SNIFFLING]
HONEY...
YOU'RE NOT GOING WITHOUT ME. NOT THIS TIME.
DO YOU THINK THEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POISON CLOUD?
THE CHEMICALS WERE IN A TRUCK. THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
[HONKS]
WHAT WAS THAT?
THEY'RE JUST SHOWING US WHO'S IN CHARGE.
THINK THEY'RE DONE.
RIGHT. OUT THE BACK.
STAY DOWN AND WAIT.
TAKE THE FLASHLIGHT.
SEE YOU SOON.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S THE LAST ONE.
DON'T STOP. NOW WHAT?
WHERE'S LOGAN?
Logan: HOPE! DAD! OVER HERE!
WHERE'S ABBY?
SHE WENT WITH HER DAD.
WHERE'S GEORGE? I DON'T KNOW.
OK, YOU GUYS...
LET'S GIVE THEM A HEAD START.
[HORN BLARING]
DAD, DON'T!
Ray: GEORGE, DON'T!
[HORN FADES]
RUN! UP THE HILL!
GO! UP THE HILL!
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN STOP HERE.
THEY CAN'T GET AT US.
Abby: I'M SO SORRY ABOUT GEORGE.
HE SAVED OUR LIVES.
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN GET SOME REST HERE,
HEAD DOWN TO THE GRAVEL PITS AT FIRST LIGHT.
[ENGINE GRINDING]
WINDY TO BASE. I'M GONNA NEED ANOTHER MAN UP HERE.

WINDY TO BASE, COME IN.
[STATIC]
DAMN.
[METAL CREAKING]
[ENGINE REVS]
HEY!

HEY! WHO'S DOWN THERE?
HEY!
HEY, WHO'S DOWN THERE? COME ON! WATCH IT!

AAH! AAH!

I NEED SOME HELP UP HERE!
HELP! GET ME SOME HELP UP HERE!
I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS, GODDAMN IT!
OH, MY GOD! HELP!

AAH! AAH!
[YELLING]
[SCREAMING]
[MECHANICAL GROWL]
THEY STILL DOWN THERE?
I DON'T KNOW. I HEAR ENGINES EVERY NOW AND THEN.
THOUGHT I'D BE SAFE IN LUNAR.
SAME HERE.
YOU THINK THERE'S ANYPLACE SAFE ANYMORE?
I DON'T KNOW.
EVER NOTICE HOW WHEN YOU THINK
YOU'VE GOT THE WORLD UNDER CONTROL,
YOU REALIZE...
WE'RE NOT REALLY THE ONES IN CHARGE?
EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES, FLOODS...
COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A WORLD COVERED IN RUST.
WE'LL BE OK.
THERE!
[HELICOPTER]
HEY! HEY!
HEY! HEY!
YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU ALL RIGHT, SON?
Logan: YEAH.
YOU OK? OK, LET'S GO.
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
[HORN BLOWS]
I BLEW THAT BASTARD UP.
LET'S GO! LET'S GO! COME ON! GO! RUN!
[HORN BLOWS]
WE MADE IT! WE MADE IT! HA HA HA!
ABBY...
IT'S ME, LOGAN.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, DAD!
THANKS, BUDDY! YOU SAVED US!
Recorded voice: JUST HANG ON, FOLKS.
I REPEAT, JUST HANG ON.
GET OUTTA HERE.

[SHOWER RUNNING]
[WHIMPERING]
[HAMMERING]
[SERVICE BELL RINGS]
MORNING, HOPE.
HEY, GUYS.
Hope: KEEP AN EYE ON THE STORE FOR ME?
GOING INTO BRIDGETON.
GOT MY FIRST WEEKEND BACKPACKERS.
IN THE 2 YEARS WE BEEN HERE, LUKE HAD, WHAT, 6 HIKERS?
YOU'RE DOIN' GOOD.
YOU'RE DOING GREAT.
18.50.
HEY, LOGAN, I'VE GOT A MR. AND MRS. YEAGER
DRIVING THEMSELVES IN AS WELL THIS MORNING.
COULD YOU PUT THEM IN CABIN ONE FOR ME?
SURE.
UNLESS YOU WANT A TRIP TO TOWN WITH ME?
DAD?
DEAL'S A DEAL, SON.
TODAY'S THE DAY YOU SERVICE THE GENERATORS.
OH, WELL. GET YOU ANYTHING IN BRIDGETON?
NOT THAT I CAN THINK OF. CHECK WITH GEORGE.
YEAH, SURE.
HOW YOU DOING, HOPE?
CAN'T COMPLAIN. THANKS, GEORGE.
I'LL HAVE ANOTHER SLICE OF THAT, GEORGIE.
THIS IS MY NAVY BLEND. KEPT ME ALIVE IN KOREA.
I'M GOING INTO BRIDGETON. NEED ANYTHING?
I GOT IN SUPPLIES YESTERDAY. YOU WANT SOMETHING TO EAT?
NO, THANKS. LOST MY TASTE FOR COUNTRY BREAKFASTS.
SO, HOW'S BUSINESS?
GOT ANY OF THOSE TWILIGHT ZONERS THIS WEEKEND?
YEAH. MY FIRST BACKPACKERS.
MIND YOU, COME EVENING,
THEY'LL ALL EXPECT TO SIGHT A FEW ALIENS IN THE SKY.
LOOKING FOR FLYING SAUCERS?
BUNCH OF LOSERS.
YEAH, WELL, IT'S A LIVING, GUYS.
Hope: WHAT'S THAT DOING THERE?
GOT IT?
HEY, PAL, ANYONE SERVING HERE?
BE RIGHT WITH YOU, SIR.
LINO, YOU WANT TO GO HELP HIM?
Man: KEEP THE CHANGE, KID.
THEY HAVE A DIFFERENT SENSE OF TIME SOUTH OF THE BORDER?
I WAS BORN HERE IN BRIDGETON, LIKE MY DAD.
[LAUGHS]
YOU GOT A PROBLEM, LADY?
NOT YET.
YOU'RE NEW AROUND HERE, HUH?
NOT EXACTLY.
YOU EVER GET LONELY, I COME THROUGH HERE EVERY WEEK.
DON'T STOP.
HEY, YOU LUNAR EXPEDITIONS?
THAT'S ME.
THIS IS MY DAD. HE'S THE BACKPACKER AROUND HERE.
HEY, ABBY.
UH, MORNING. HOPE GLAXTON.
HI. THAD. NICE TO MEET YOU.
NICE TO MEET YOU. THERE SHOULD BE ONE MORE.
THE NAME IS JACK. GLAD TO KNOW YOU.
FIRST TIME IN THIS PART OF THE COSMOS.
I MEAN IT NO HARM.
[ENGINE REVS]
WHAT THE--
WHAT--COME ON!
GOD!
[BRAKES HISSING]
[ENGINE DIES]
[METAL THUMPS]
HEY! SOMEBODY IN THERE? WHO'S IN THERE? HEY!
HEY!
WHAT'S GOING ON? WHO'S OUT THERE?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO PULL? LET ME OUT OF HERE!
LUNAR WAS BUILT ON THE SITE
WHERE A METEORITE CRASHED THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO.
WHY WOULD ANYONE WANT TO LIVE IN A PLACE LIKE THIS?
WELL, I GREW UP HERE,
AND SO WHEN I CAME BACK HOME A FEW MONTHS AGO,
I HEARD THE CABINS WERE UP FOR SALE
SO I BOUGHT THEM AND MOVED IN.
LUNAR. SOUNDS LIKE IT SHOULD BE SOME PLACE IN NEW MEXICO.
DOESN'T IT?
YOU BEEN THERE?
I THINK TURQUOISE AND SILVER
SHOULD BE WORN SEPARATELY OR BANNED.
[BREATHES]
YOU LIVE IN VEGAS, RIGHT?
YEAH. THIS WEEK I DO.
SEE, MOM GETS ME PART TIME AND HE GETS ME PART TIME.
WHEN HE'S HERE.
WHAT ABOUT SCHOOL?
I'VE ABOUT RUN OUT OF SCHOOLS.
THAT'S ENOUGH, ABBY.
HUH?
GEORGE, SOME COFFEE.
George: YEAH. SURE THING.
HOW YOU DOING?
HEY, RAY.
[SERVICE BELL RINGS]
WHERE YOU GOING?
LET THE BOY DO IT. HE KNOWS HOW.
DOESN'T NEED WATCHING OVER ALL DAY. THIS ISN'T DETROIT.
I DON'T WATCH OVER HIM ALL DAY, DO I?
YOU MOTHER HIM.
HE DOESN'T HAVE ONE ANY LONGER, DOES HE?
RAY, IT'S BEEN 2 YEARS NOW.
I THINK HE'S DEALING WITH IT BETTER THAN YOU ARE.
SEE? HE DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HE'S DOING.
Abby: IS THERE ANY CHANCE I CAN GET A SHOWER WHEN WE GET THERE?
OH, YEAH. CABINS HAVE SHOWERS.
BUT ONCE WE'RE ON THE TRAIL, IT'S JUST THE RIVER.
PROVIDING A NIPPY IF EXISTENTIAL CLEANLINESS.
HOW FAR IS AREA 51 FROM LUNAR?
THERE IS NO AREA 51.
YEAH. HE SHOULD KNOW. HE WAS IN THE AIR FORCE THERE.
ABBY.
HEY, FOR REAL?
THERE'S NO AREA 51. IT'S A MILITARY BASE.
IT'S PART OF THE NUCLEAR TRIAD.
I FLEW CHOPPERS.
I NEVER SAW NO ALIENS, NO SAUCERS, AND NO UFOs.
THE GOVERNMENTS DON'T ALWAYS WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THE TRUTH.
YOU PEACE AND BROWN RICE GENERATION?
YOU STILL FLY THERE?
I LEFT THE MILITARY 7 YEARS AGO.
YEAH. HE GOT TIRED OF ALL THE MOVING AROUND.
NOW HE WORKS FOR THE OIL COMPANIES.
HE MOVES AROUND JUST AS MUCH, BUT A LOT FURTHER AWAY.
DAD!
Hope: THERE'S THAT IDIOT'S TRUCK.
Abby: THAT'S WEIRD. WHY'D HE STOP?
LET ME OUT OF HERE! [BANGING]
HEY, COME ON, PLEASE! LET ME OUT OF HERE!
IT'S FREEZING IN HERE!
WELL, THE BIG EXCITEMENT HAPPENED ABOUT 17 YEARS AGO,
BUT I WAS IN CHICAGO THEN, SO I NEVER SAW ANYTHING,
BUT A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY THAT THEY SAW SOME KIND OF UFO
HOVERING OVER THE BASE
AND LOTS OF LITTLE ALIENS CLIMBING DOWN.
LIKE THOSE ONES IN ROSWELL.
AND THE GOVERNMENT'S ALWAYS DENIED ANYTHING HAPPENED,
BUT YOU TRY GETTING ANYWHERE NEAR THE BASE...
DO YOU REALLY BUY INTO THAT STUFF?
A LOT OF PEOPLE FIND IT INTERESTING.
THERE'S ALWAYS A LOT OF PSYCHIC ENERGIES
IN PLACES OF GREAT EMPTINESS.
WHAT'S THAT?
Thad: WHY IS THAT TRUCK THERE?
I HAVE NO IDEA.
Hope: IT WAS ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD THIS MORNING.
[ENGINE STARTS]
MUST BE ONE OF PHIL'S.
WHAT'S IT DOING ON THE ROAD?
THAT'S WEIRD. I DON'T SEE HIM AROUND.
ALIENS AT LARGE.
NEED TO GET IT OFF THE ROAD IS WHAT WE NEED TO DO
BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS THEMSELF KILLED.
[HORN BLOWS]
I COULD USE SOME HELP HERE, PAL.
COME ON. SMILE.
UH-HUH.
HEY, ABBY.
LOOK OUT!
WHOA! WHOA!
COME ON! THIS WAY!
AW, MAN, THAT WAS WEIRD.
WHO IS DRIVING THAT TRUCK?
I'M GONNA CALL THE SHERIFF.
[GRUNTING]
HE'S COMING BACK!
WAS THERE ANYONE DRIVING?
NO, IT WAS DRIVING BY ITSELF. MANIAC.
[HORN BLOWING]
THOUGHT I TOLD YOU TO DO THE GENERATOR?
DONE. IT WAS PRETTY CLEAN. LOOKED WORSE THAN IT WAS.
WHAT ARE YOU UP TO NOW?
KEEPING IT IN SHAPE FOR THE GUY WHEN HE COMES BACK.
WELL, HEAR TELL HE'S IN BALMAIN DOING 5 TO 10
FOR SOME DRUG THING. PROBABLY STOLEN.
BEEN MEANING TO TALK TO THE SHERIFF
ABOUT WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
IT'S JUST BEAUTIFUL.
THERE'S NO WAY I'M LETTING YOU HAVE A MOTORCYCLE.
DAD, IT'S TOO QUIET HERE.
WELL, I'M NOT GONNA LOSE YOU, TOO.
YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO MISSES HER, DAD.
I MISS HER, TOO.
[HORN HONKS]
THOSE SHOULD BE HOPE'S GUESTS.
HOPE ASKED ME TO DO THAT, DAD.
REMIND ME. WHAT AM I DOING HERE?
WELL, IT MAY NOT BE THE FRENCH RIVIERA, HONEY--
HOW WOULD I KNOW? NO ONE EVER TAKES ME THERE.
YOU THE YEAGERS?
USED TO BE. YOU'RE MEETING THE BUDGET VERSION.
WE'VE BEEN DRIVING ALL NIGHT.
WE'RE HERE FOR THE LUNAR NATURE TREK.
GREAT. YOUR TOUR LEADER'S GONE INTO BRIDGETON
TO PICK UP THE REST OF YOUR PARTY.
SHE'LL BE BACK IN AN HOUR.
IF YOU WANT TO, YOU CAN PUT YOUR STUFF IN CABIN ONE.
OH, A REAL CABIN.
BOY, WHAT FUN.
[CELL PHONE DIALING]
HAVE A GOOD TIME.
Brad: THANKS A LOT.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
DAD!
DAD! DAD! IT'S HOPE! SHE'S HAD AN ACCIDENT!
THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING. NO ONE.
THERE HAD TO BE SOMEBODY DRIVING WITH THEIR HEAD DOWN.
TRUCKS DON'T DRIVE BY THEMSELVES.
STRANGER THINGS HAVE HAPPENED AROUND HERE.
PLEASE.
IDIOT.
UNH! IDIOT!
YOU OK?
NO.
I JUST WISH I WASN'T HERE.
YEAH. I KNOW.
[FLY ZIPS]
Abby: NO, IT IS NOT OK! I WANT TO GO HOME NOW!
Thad: AS SOON AS THIS GUY ARRIVES,
HE'LL TAKE US INTO LUNAR,
AND WE'LL GET ON WITH OUR WEEKEND.
I TOTALLY DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN THE FIRST PLACE!
ABBY, THE FACT IS WE'RE ALREADY HERE,
SO JUST COOL IT.
WHEN YOU'RE STRESSED, IT'S GOOD TO MEDITATE.
ARE YOU NUTS?
PROBABLY.
HELPS ME BACK HOME DOWN BY THE OCEAN.
BIG SUR. YOU KNOW IT?
YEAH, I HEARD OF IT. LOTS OF WAVES, HUH?
I RUN A BOOKSTORE THERE.
YOU SELL CRYSTALS, TOO?
LOOK, TRUCKS DON'T DRIVE THEMSELVES, OK?
MAYBE IT JUST WANTED SOME...COMPANY.
Bob: COME ON NOW, BABY. GET UP THERE.
[CHUCKLES]
GET UP THERE!
WELL, TIME TO HIT THE ROAD, I GUESS.
GEORGIE.
GEORGIE! COULD YOU FIX ME A BLT TO GO?
George: YOU BET.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN.
MMM.
COUNTRY FOOD.
RURAL.
YOU USED TO LOVE THIS STUFF.
WE WENT BACKPACKING ALL THE TIME.
I WAS 19 AND I DIDN'T HAVE NAILS.
YOU HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR.
OH, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO THAT?
WEEKEND BREAK WAS YOUR IDEA.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO BE DRIVING ALL NIGHAND END UP ON THE MOON.
NEXT TIME, I'LL STICK THE PIN IN THE MAP.
NO! NO! NO!
AAH!
George: HEY, WHAT'S GOING ON?
DARN.
[JUKEBOX DIES]
LOGAN, GO KICK ON THOSE GENERATORS, WILL YOU?
BOTH OF THEM.
MMM, BREAKFAST BY CANDLELIGHT.
BE A SPORT, JUNE.
I'VE BEEN A SPORT EVER SINCE WE GOT MARRIED,
AND WHERE HAS IT GOTTEN ME?
HEY, PETE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.

Jack: OH, THAT'S STRANGE.
I DON'T SUPPOSE THERE WILL BE POWER AT THE HILTON THERE.
LIGHTEN UP, HONEY. LET'S HAVE A LITTLE FUN.
OOH! IN THIS DUMP? NO ONE COMES HERE TO HAVE FUN.
WE'LL NEVER BE ABLE TO AFFORD A TRIP TO EUROPE.
Brad: NEXT YEAR, TO PROVENCE!
[TRUCK HORN BLARES]
PROVENCE! PROVENCE!
June: PROMISES, PROMISES.
PROVENCE. PROVENCE.

OH!

Pete: NOW, WHOSE TRUCK IS THAT?
WHAT'S HE DOING?
[HORN HONKING]
WHERE'S HOPE?
SHE WENT OVER HERE.
[WATER RUNNING]
PHIL.
SOME IDIOT WENT CRAZY. WIPED OUT HER VAN.
ME, TOO. SOME DRUNKEN NUT CASE.
YOU, TOO? A BIG SILVER REFRIGERATED?
Jack: THERE WAS NO ONE DRIVING.
[GASPS] OH, MY--THERE'S--
IT'S OK.
OH, MY GOD. IT'S--IT'S PHIL.
IS HE--?
NOTHING I COULD DO. NO PULSE. NOTHING.
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
LET'S GO!
I WANT TO GO HOME!
WE'RE GOING TO LUNAR!
EASY ON THE OFFSPRING!
WE GOT A ROGUE KILLER OUT THERE HEADED FOR LUNAR.
MY SON'S THERE. THAT'S WHERE WE'RE GOING.
ABBY, YOU'RE GOING WITH US.
I AM NOT GOING!
YOU'RE COMING WITH US, ABBY.
TRIED TO REACH THE SHERIFF. CAN'T GET THROUGH.
YOU OK?
NO. I'M SCARED TO DEATH.
WELL, WHAT THE HELL'S GOING ON?
WHAT'S HE TRYING TO PROVE?
CRAZIEST THING I EVER SAW.
Bob: UNBELIEVABLE.
Pete: BOB, CAN YOU SEE WHO'S DRIVING THAT TRUCK?
I'M OUTTA HERE.
BACK OFF!
CRAZY FOOL!
WHO THE HELL IS IT?
THERE'S NO ONE DRIVING.
[HORN BLOWS]
I GOT A RIFLE IN THE TRUCK. WE'LL BLOW HIS TIRES OUT.
YOU BE CAREFUL, BOB.
I DON'T GET IT! WHAT'S THAT ALL ABOUT?!
Pete: I TELL YOU WHAT, SOMETHING'S GOING ON.
[TV CRACKLES]
George: HEY, QUIET. SOMETHING'S COMING ON THE TV.
LISTEN TO THIS.
Sheriff: ELECTRICITY IS OUT FOR MOST AREAS.
WE'RE ASKING EVERYBODY NORTH OF BRIDGETON
TO JUST HOLD ON.
IT'LL BE AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE WE CAN GET TO YOU.
EVERYONE SHOULD STAY INSIDE.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE PLENTY OF WATER.
WE'RE NOT QUITE SURE WHAT CHEMICALS
THE TANKER WAS CARRYING,
BUT AN EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM IS ON ITS WAY.
UNFORTUNATELY, THE AIRPORT HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN
BECAUSE OF THE TOXIC CLOUD
SO IT'LL BE SOME HOURS BEFORE THAT TEAM
CAN GET TO US TO HELP WITH THE CLEANUP.
IN THE MEANTIME, ONCE AGAIN, WE ASK EVERYONE TO STAY INSIDE,
AND WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED.
AND--AND JUST HANG ON.
I REPEAT, JUST HANG ON.
[STATIC]
BASE, THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601. DO YOU COPY? OVER.

WHOO!
WELL, THAT'S THE END OF THE HOT WATER.
WELL, I'M NOT STAYING HERE ANOTHER MINUTE!
DAMN IT, BOB, I'M GOING FOR MY TRUCK AGAIN.
SO YOU MAKE IT AND THAT BIG BASTARD JUST RAMS YOU.
CAN'T GET NOTHIN' ON THE CB. IT'S ALL DEAD.
IF ALL THE CBs ARE ON THE FRITZ, WE GOT A MESS OUT THERE.
YOU GOT A RIFLE IN HERE?
THE BOSS, HE DOESN'T LIKE GUNS.
WHAT THE--
HE'S AIMING RIGHT FOR US!
[HORN BLOWING]
HEY!
DON'T ASK 'CAUSE I DON'T KNOW.
COME ON. WE CAN'T JUST STAND HERE.
I DON'T KNOW, BOB.
TV: ...INTO TOWN ARE CUT OFF.
JUST SAID ALL THE ROADS TO LUNAR ARE CUT OFF.
Reporter: GOT A MESSAGE THROUGH BEFORE HIS CB WENT DOWN.
WE'RE HEARING A LOT OF REPORTS OF CBs DOWN.
PROBABLY SOME SORT OF ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE
IS THE BEST GUESS SO FAR.
NOW, WE REPEAT, THIS IS A MAJOR CHEMICAL SPILL.
STATE EMERGENCY SERVICES ARE ON THEIR WAY TO START A CLEANUP.
WE'VE HEARD THAT EVEN A SMALL AMOUNT OF THIS STUFF
ON YOUR TIRES COULD PROVE HAZARDOUS.
FRICTION, FIRE, DANGEROUS SMOKE...
IF INHALED COULD ACTUALLY PROVE FATAL.
SO, PLEASE, IF YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE AREA,
DO NOT MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO ENTER BRIDGETON,
AND WHEREVER YOU ARE, JUST STAY INSIDE.
AS SOON AS THERE IS CLEARANCE,
THEY WILL BE CHOPPERING OUT TO YOU.
JUST HANG ON, FOLKS. THEY WILL GET TO YOU.
"JUST HANG ON"?
YEAH, SURE. JUST HANG ON FOR WHAT?
HEY, WHAT THE HELL ARE WE MOPPING UP HERE ANYWAY?
BC972.
NO SHIT.
NO SHIT.
HEY, I BETTER GO CHECK ON OUR EQUIPMENT.
[MOTOR WHIRRING]
[BANGING]
[CRUNCH]
[TIRES SCREECH]
WHAT THE--
[HONK HONK]
WHAT THE HELL?
[MOTOR WHIRRING]
[REVVING]
[HONK]
OW!
[REVERSE ALARM BEEPING]
WHY, YOU LITTLE--
[SCREECH]
VERY CUTE.
ALL RIGHT, KIDS, COME ON OUT RIGHT NOW.
[BEEP BEEP]
OW!
SON OF A BITCH!
COME ON OUTTA HERE, YOU KIDS!
AAH!
OOF!
OH...
[BEEPING]
[GROANS]
[HONK HONK]
[HORN BLOWING]
[HORN BLOWING]
[HONK HONK] [ENGINE STARTS]
HEY, THAT'S MY TRUCK!
GODDAMN IT! STOP!
WHAT THE--
HEY! NOW IT'S MY TRUCK!
[BEEPING]
[TIRES SCREECHING]
[HONK]
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY OUT!
Logan: COME ON, THIS WAY!
Abby: HELP!
IT'S MY DAMN TRUCK!
THANKS. WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
LOGAN PORTER.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
George: WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
I DON'T KNOW.
Jack: THEY WANT THE ATTENTION.
Ray: WHAT?
THEY'RE MAKING A STATEMENT.
WHAT?
YOU GOT A BETTER IDEA?
LET'S JUST HOPE THEY HAVEN'T LEARNED TO READ.
I ALWAYS KNEW THE INDUSTRIAL AGE WOULD END IN CHAOS.
IT'S OUR FAULT.
WE DON'T DESERVE THIS PLANET, THE WAY WE MISUSE IT.
THESE TRUCKS WILL USE IT BETTER?
COULDN'T DO IT ANY WORSE.
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
PHONES ARE OUT.
Abby: DAMN IT!
Brad: HEY.
IT'S NOT RUNNING.
I'M GONNA CHECK IT OUT. KEEP AN EYE ON MY WIFE.
HONEY, I'LL JUST BE IN HERE.
STAY WITH THESE GUYS, OK?
HEY.
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
JUNE YEAGER.
HEY, I'M ABBY.
LISTEN, DO YOU SMOKE?
I QUIT.
GOD, WHY'D YOU DO THAT?
IF YOU HAD A SINGLE IDEA THAT REALLY--
I GOT IDEAS. I SURE HAVE IDEAS.
RAY.
WHAT?
I'M SORRY.
I...
[ARGUING LOUDLY]
HEY, HEY, HEY!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON HERE,
BUT THE BEST CHANCE WE HAVE IS TO REMEMBER
THAT WE'RE SMARTER THAN THEY ARE.
YEAH, MOST OF US ANYWAY.
I HAVE A THEORY.
OH, GREAT.
YOU KNOW THAT RECENT COMET SHOWER?
GO ON. I'M LISTENING.
2 WEEKS AGO.
SEE, IT COULD HAVE BOMBARDED OUR ATMOSPHERE
WITH ALIEN PARTICLES WHICH SOMEHOW INTERFERED
WITH OUR ENERGY SIGNALS,
AFFECTING RADIO WAVES, ELECTRICITY,
ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF.
THESE TRUCKS ARE OPERATING ON AN ACCIDENTAL ENERGY WAVE
WHICH APPEARS TO HAVE AN INTELLIGENCE BEHIND IT--
NO.
IT'S PROBABLY JUST A RANDOM...
Bob: YEAH, YEAH, RIGHT.
YOU KNOW, 30 YEARS AGO,
THESE FELLAS ALMOST BROUGHT DOWN THE GOVERNMENT.
BUT WHY TRUCKS?
I'LL TELL YOU WHY. 2 WORDS: AREA 51.
ANY TIME ANYTHING HAPPENS AROUND HERE,
PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS POINTING AT AREA 51.
YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT! YOU'RE DAMN RIGHT!
SECRET BASE THAT DOESN'T EXIST, BUT EVERYBODY KNOWS ABOUT IT.
NO ONE'S EVER ALLOWED IN. WHAT'S IT FOR?
THIS IS ONE BIG GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACY.
I'M TELLING YOU.
THE GOVERNMENT'S TAKING OVER THE WHOLE COUNTRY.
WELL, I DON'T THINK SO.
WELL, NOW, COME ON.
WHAT HAVE WE GOT HERE?! WHAT HAVE WE GOT?!
HUH?
WE GOT A RADIO OUTAGE, A POWER OUTAGE,
WE GOT CRAZY MACHINES RUNNING AROUND OUTSIDE!
WE GOT A POISON CLOUD! THAT'S PROBABLY A VIRUS.
THEY'RE TESTING SOMETHING.
IT'S A GOVERNMENT EXPERIMENT,
AND WE'RE JUST THE LITTLE WHITE MICE.
AREA 51.
NOTHING GOES ON THERE
THAT WOULD HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
WELL, HOW WOULD YOU KNOW THAT?
'CAUSE I WAS IN THE AIR FORCE.
I FLEW CHOPPERS OUT OF THERE FOR 2 YEARS.
IT IS STRICTLY MILITARY.
WELL, THEN, YOU'RE PART OF IT.
YOU JUST HAPPENED TO BE HERE ON A CAMPING TRIP?
HUH?
RIGHT?
YEAH.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING, DON'T YOU?
YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON,
AND YOU'RE GONNA TELL US RIGHT NOW.
HEY, HEY!
HEY.
WHERE THE HELL DID THAT COME FROM?
I KEPT IT OUT OF YOUR WAY.
I'M SORRY, RAY. IT BELONGED TO MY DAD.
KIND OF A SENTIMENTAL THING.
WE COULD TRY AND TAKE OUT THEIR TIRES.
YOU WON'T BLOW OUT ANY OF OUR TIRES
WITH THAT PEASHOOTER. THAT'S JUST A .22.
LISTEN TO ME!
WHOA, WHOA.
YOU GUYS ARE NOT GONNA BUST UP MY PLACE
AND PUT THE REST OF US IN JEOPARDY!
WE ACT TOGETHER!
T.V. Announcer: AND NOW, A SPECIAL NEWS BULLETIN.
THE LATEST WE HAVE ON THIS TOXIC SUBSTANCE
IS THAT IT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS BC972.
IT'S USED IN THE SPACE INDUSTRY AS A COMPONENIN AN ADHESIVE MATERIAL USED IN ROCKETRY.
THAT'S ALL THEY'LL TELL US AT THIS STAGE,
BUT WE WILL BRING YOU MORE INFORMATION
ON THIS BREAKING NEWS STORY AS IT BECOMES AVAILABLE TO US.
WHAT IF THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING?
INANIMATE OBJECTS ABLE TO THINK.
THEY COULD MAKE US THEIR SLAVES.
WHAT THE HELL?
SHIT.
BC972?
LOOKS LIKE SOMETHING OUT OF GODDAMN AREA 51 TO ME.
NO. THIS IS THAT CHEM-WARFARE STUFF
WE AIN'T SUPPOSED TO BE MAKING ANYMORE.
YOU BETTER SUIT UP, BUDDY.
I'LL GO CHECK ON THE GEAR.
I'LL BE RIGHT THERE. I'D BETTER CALL THIS ONE IN.
BASE. THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601. COME IN.
[RADIO STATIC]
THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601.
BASE, COME IN.
[RADIO STATIC]
I REPEAT, THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601.
BASE, COME IN.
[BEEP]
THIS IS ANDROMEDA 601.
BASE, COME IN.
OVER.
DAMN.
AAH!
AAH!
AAH!
AAH!
DAMN. THAT WAS FAST.
WHAT DID YOU DO, CUT YOURSELF OR SOMETHING?
OH!
OH!
[ENGINE STARTS]
Logan: I THOUGHT I HEARD A GUNSHOT.
WHAT ARE THEY DOING OVER THERE?
MY DAD WILL BE WORKING ON SOMETHING.
OH, THAT'S GREAT.
WE'RE WAITING FOR A BUNCH OF REDNECKS TO SAVE US.
MY DAD'S NOT A REDNECK. WE'RE FROM DETROIT.
DETROIT. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
HE DECIDED TO RELOCATE.
I DIDN'T GET TO VOTE.
YEAH, WELL,
PARENTS CAN BE SERIOUSLY HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
I ONLY GOT ONE LEFT.
I STILL GOT 2,
BUT ONLY ONE AT A TIME.
Brad: ANY TOOLS HERE?
YEAH. SHE KEEPS 'EM IN THE BACK.
THE CARBURETOR'S CLOGGED, BUT IF I CAN CLEAN IT,
I CAN GET THAT PICKUP GOING, AND WE ARE OUT OF HERE.
HE'S GOOD WITH CARS.
HE'S ALWAYS WORKING ON ONE OR TWO AT THE HOUSE.
I THINK THAT'S REALLY WHAT HE WANTS TO DO,
JUST WORK ON CARS.
SO WHAT DOES HE DO?
SELLS THEM.
WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT WITH THE GUN?
HE WON'T ALLOW GUNS ON THE PROPERTY.
HE LOST HIS WIFE 2 YEARS AGO
IN A RANDOM DRIVE-BY GANG SHOOTING IN DETROIT.
I SHOULDN'T HAVE KEPT IT AROUND.
IT MIGHT BE A GOOD THING YOU DID.
Thad: RAY, COME HERE A MINUTE.
LOOK AT THIS.
YOU THINK THAT PIPE'S BIG ENOUGH TO CRAWL THROUGH?
YEAH.
YEAH, THAT MIGHT BE.
IF THEY MAKE A SURPRISE RUN FOR IT,
THEY'LL BE SAFE IN THERE.
MEANWHILE WE CAN DISTRACT THESE TRUCKS SOMEHOW,
AND THEY CAN GET BACK IN HERE.
YEAH, IT'S WORTH A TRY.
THERE'S SOMETHING I HAVEN'T TOLD YOU.
WHAT?
THERE'S SOME HIGH-POWERED RADIO TELESCOPES
AT THAT AIR FORCE BASE.
SO?
IT'S UNUSUAL.
I DON'T KNOW IF NASA SET IT UP OR WHAT,
BUT NASA HAD A PROGRAM CALLED S.E.T.I.--
SEARCH FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL INTELLIGENCE.
CONGRESS CUT THE FUNDING ON THAT, DIDN'T THEY?
YEAH, AFTER ONLY ABOUT A YEAR.
RIGHT.
WHAT?
THIS GROUP OF SCIENTISTS GOT SOME PRIVATE FUNDING,
AND THEY TOOK OVER MOST OF NASA's SCOPES
AND THEIR COMPUTERS, AND THEY'RE STILL LISTENING.
IT'S CALLED PROJECT PHOENIX.
YOU THINK THAT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS?
NOT REALLY.
WHAT IF I'M WRONG?
DON'T TELL THEM.
HEY, HEY, LOGAN.
COME HERE.
Abby: WHAT DRAINAGE PIPE?
THE ONE OVER THERE.
[ENGINE STARTS]
OH, NO, NO!
AAH!
AAH!
OH!
AAH!
BRAD!
AAH!
OH!
AAH!
Logan: GET BACK!
BRAD! AAH!
NO!
MURDERER!
[SOBBING HYSTERICALLY]
AAH!
AAH!
[HORNS HONKING]
LET ME GO!
LET GO OF ME!
TAKE HER TO THE BOOTHS.
TAKE HER DOWN TO THE BOOTH DOWN THERE.
IT'S OK, JUNE.
THEY'RE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
WHAT?
THEY'RE COMMUNICATING.
WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?
[HORNS HONKING]
Hope: RAY.
YEAH?
GET SOMETHING TO CALM HER DOWN AND A BLANKET.
WATCH IT, WATCH IT, WATCH IT.
SOME SEDATIVES.
YOU'RE OK.
GEORGE, WATER.
I'M GONNA TAKE MY CHANCES.
Logan: AND GO WHERE?
WHERE EVERYONE ELSE IS.
THAT'S SMART.
I DON'T WANT TO STAY HERE ANYMORE, LOGAN.
I CAN'T.
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
DON'T DO THAT AGAIN.
WE HAVE AN ESCAPE ROUTE.
WE HAVE COMMUNICATION WITH MY DAD ACROSS THE ROAD.
HE'LL TELL US WHEN.
WHEN, THOUGH?
HE'LL KNOW. JUST--
JUST HANG IN WITH ME, OK?
WANT TO TRY TO SLEEP NOW?
DO YOU STILL TAKE THESE?
NOT VERY OFTEN.
THEY'RE VERY STRONG.
I WAS AN R.N. BEFORE I WAS MARRIED.
GEORGE TOLD ME ABOUT YOUR WIFE. I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
IT MUST HAVE BEEN HARD FOR YOU.
LOGAN, TOO.
I...
I BROUGHT HIM OUT HERE SO HE'D BE SAFE.
NO GANGS, NO GUNS.
I...
I WON'T LET HIM DIE.
NEITHER WILL I.
I CAME BACK HERE
BECAUSE IT'S WHERE I FEEL SAFE.
I HAD A MARRIAGE THAT TURNED NASTY.
VIOLENCE, SEPARATION...
RESTRAINING ORDERS.
THE WHOLE NINE YARDS.
THIS WAS A GOOD PLACE TO GROW UP.
IT'S STILL A GOOD PLACE TO LIVE.
IT IS.
Thad: ABBY, NO!
Thad: GO BACK!
LOOK OUT!
THAT WAS STUPID.
YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO COME.
NO, WAIT! WAIT, WAIT!
ABBY!
AAH!
AAH!
THEY'RE GONNA SUFFOCATE THEM.
OH, MY GOD.
Ray: GET AWAY FROM MY SON!
COME ON!
COME AND GET ME!
Ray: ME, THAT'S RIGHT!
RAY!
[HORN HONKS]
WE'VE HAD ENOUGH!
[HORN HONKS]
[HORN HONKS]
WHAT THE HELL'S...?
LOGAN!
Logan: DAD!
Ray: YOU TWO ALL RIGHT?
SO FAR!
THIS COULD BE OUR CHANCE.
WELL, I TELL YOU WHAT, BOB.
WHAT'S THAT, PETE?
THAT MAN'S BOY IS OUTSIDE.
YOU FOOL WITH HIM, HE'LL MESS YOU UP.
YEAH, WELL, I DON'T TAKE ORDERS
FROM TRUCKS OR PUNK JOCKEYS.
I ONLY WANT WHAT'S RIGHTFULLY MINE.
Logan: DAD!
I'M HERE, SON. I'M HERE.
WHY DID THE TRUCKS STOP?
I DON'T KNOW. THAT ONE TRUCK HONKING,
HE MAY BE GIVING ORDERS TO THE OTHER ONES,
BUT I'M NOT SURE.
ALL RIGHT.
HEY, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
I'M GOING HOME.
OH, NOT RIGHT NOW.
Hope: RAY!
PEACE, BROTHER.
ALL RIGHT, SON.
LISTEN.
I WANT YOU TO STICK YOUR HEAD OUT, OK?
BUT IF THE TRUCK GOES INTO GEAR,
I WANT YOU TO PULL BACK, ALL RIGHT?
[COUGHING]
ALL RIGHT.
OK.
OK, DO IT NOW.
Ray: OK, GOOD, GOOD.
OK, A LITTLE MORE.
GET READY TO PULL BACK.
RAY!
GET BACK INSIDE!
NO WAY.
NOW!
YOU'RE BLUFFING... AND I KNOW IT.
DAD, WHAT'S GOING ON?
ALL RIGHT, SON.
ALL RIGHT, LISTEN.
THIS IS WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO.
IT'S GONNA TAKE SOME GUTS, OK?
I WANT YOU TO ROLL OUT UNDER THE TRUCK,
AND THEN I WANT YOU TO POSITION YOURSELF
BETWEEN THE BACK WHEELS, OK?
WHAT?
IT'S THE ONLY WAY.
MY DAD'S GOT THE TRUCKS SPOOKED SOMEHOW.
THEN I WANT YOU TO SLIDE FORWARD TOWARDS ME.
OK, DAD.
OK?
STAY THERE, PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, SON.
ALL RIGHT. SLOW, NOW. SLOW, NOW.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.
THAT'S IT.
Logan: COME ON, ABBY.
Abby: I CAN'T.
ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT.
YES, YOU CAN.
COME ON, SON, COME ON.
Logan: COME ON, ABBY. IF THE TRUCKS DON'T GET YOU
THIS AFTERNOON, THE RATS WILL TONIGHT.
Ray: ALL RIGHT. THAT'S IT. THAT'S IT.
OK, SWEETHEART. COME ON.
THERE YOU GO.
OK, COME ON. BETWEEN THE TIRES NOW.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S IT.
COME ON, SON. THAT'S IT NOW.
ALL RIGHT, COME ON, COME ON.
A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
A LITTLE BIT FURTHER.
YEAH, THAT'S GOOD, GOOD.
COME ON, COME ON.
GO, GO, GO, GO, GO!
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
WHOA, WHOA, WHOA NOW, STOP!
Ray: DON'T LOOK BACK!
DON'T LOOK BACK! RUN!
COME ON, COME ON!
DADDY.
YOU OK?
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED IN HERE?
THAT GUY SAW AN OPPORTUNITY.
HE ALMOST GOT THESE KIDS KILLED.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED OUT THERE?
I GOT TICKED. IT SEEMED TO WORK.
IT DIDN'T WORK FOR HIM.
YOU GOT SOME KIND OF INFLUENCE ON THEM TRUCKS.
WHAT ABOUT THAT REFRIGERATED TRUCK?
IT WAS CALLING THE SHOTS.
WHEN IT HONKED, THE OTHERS STOPPED.
THEY'RE GETTING SMART.
WELL, WE GOTTA STAY SMARTER.
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
DAMN!
[OPENS BOTTLE]
CAN YOU PLEASE DO THIS? I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING.
NO. YOU'RE DOING FINE.
JUST USE THE ANTISEPTIC, OK?
I'M GONNA GO LOOK AT THAT STUPID TRUCK DRIVER.
SIT UP.
SIT UP. COME ON.
Thad: ABBY...
ABBY, I'M SORRY I GOT YOU INTO THIS.
GUESS I HAVEN'T BEEN THE GREATEST FATHER.
WELL, I DON'T KNOW.
I WOULDN'T BE THE RIGHT PERSON TO ASK.
I HARDLY EVER SEE YOU, RIGHT?
HONEY.
YOU WENT AWAY TO THE GULF FOR 18 MONTHS,
AND WHEN YOU CAME BACK
YOU AND MOM DIDN'T EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER ANYMORE.
THAT WAS FUN.
LOOK, PEOPLE GROW APART. THEY MAKE MISTAKES.
CAN YOU JUST KEEP STILL, PLEASE?
LOOKS LIKE YOU'RE GONNA LIVE.
GUESS YOU'RE JUST GONNA HAVE TO GET USED TO ME THEN.
DO YOU WANT ME TO GET YOU A SODA OR SOMETHING?
NO. I'M OK.
BUT THANKS.
I WOULDN'T GO TOO FAR.
THOSE TRUCKS ARE GETTING REAL SMART.
HEY, YOU MUST HAVE A CIGARETTE.
SORRY.
SPACED OUT 50-YEAR-OLD FLOWER CHILD
WHO QUIT SMOKING. WHAT'S THE WORLD COMING TO?
I DON'T SUPPOSE YOU HAVE A JOINT, THEN.
HOW DO YOU SPELL THAT?
PEOPLE CHANGE, ABBY.
YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM A CHANCE.
WHY?
THINK WE'RE GONNA GET OUT OF HERE, LIKE, HONESTLY?
SURE.
HOW?
WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON
EVERYWHERE ELSE.
WHY IS EVERYBODY DYING?
I DON'T KNOW.
I'M JUST AN OLD HIPPIE.
NO. NO, YOU'RE OK.
RAY.
WHERE'S MRS. YEAGER?
[TRUCK HORN HONKS]
Hope: MRS. YEAGER!
HEY!
DON'T!
COME BACK!
Jack: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
MRS. YEAGER!
LOOK OUT!
HEY!
[EVERYONE SHOUTING]
[TRUCK HORNS HONKING]
ABBY.
RAY, THIS IS CRAZY. WE GOTTA DO SOMETHING.
WE STAY PUT.
NO, NO.
WE GOTTA GET OUT OF HERE.
I KNOW THE TRAILS. I CAN GET US OUT OF HERE.
THE SHERIFF KNOWS WHERE WE'RE AT.
AS SOON AS THEY CLEAN UP THE CHEMICAL STUFF
THEY'LL BE HERE.
MEANTIME, WE TAKE CARE OF THE KIDS AND WAIT.
YOU CAN'T JUST DO NOTHING. IT DOESN'T WORK.
YOU HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
NO, NO. IN THE END
YOU PROTECT THE PEOPLE YOU CARE ABOUT.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS.
SO WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?
WE WAIT.
THIS IS MY WAY OUT OF HERE.
YOU AND ME, BABY.
NOISE. GETS TO YOU, DOESN'T IT?
YEAH. NOISE IS ALWAYS THE WORST.
REMINDS ME OF INCHON. WHO?
THE INCHON LANDING. THE KOREAN WAR.
YEAH, I REMEMBER THAT.
I TRY NOT TO LET MYSELF PROCESS WARS.
KOREA, HUH? BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE, KOREANS.
YEAH.
GAVE GINSENG TO THE WORLD.
WELL, THAT'S GOOD.
NOW I KNOW HOW MAYOR DALEY FELT IN CHICAGO, '68.
YOU THERE, TOO?
SURE. YOU, TOO?
YEP.
GRAVEYARD OF OUR YOUTH, HUH?
YOU WERE THERE, TOO? MICHIGAN AVENUE? THE RIOT?
I WAS THERE. AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE NAVY,
I JOINED THE POLICE.
Ray: GEORGE.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
[HONKING]
WELL...THEY'RE TALKING TO EACH OTHER.
HERE. GET SOME SOUP INTO YOU.
HE'S A GOOD MAN. WHERE'D YOU FIND HIM?
HIM AND MY DAD SERVED TOGETHER IN KOREA.
IT'S SWEET. HE'S DEVOTED TO YOU AND LOGAN.
HE DOESN'T HAVE LONG TO LIVE.
HIS LIVER'S SHOT. HE CAME HERE TO DIE.
WELL, HE'S NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THAT PROBLEM RIGHT NOW.
[HONKING]
NOW WHAT ARE THEY DOING?
THEY'RE UP TO SOMETHING.
THEY'RE TELLING US SOMETHING.
TELLING US WHAT, RAY?
THAT YOU'RE RIGHT.
GEORGE, GET THE MAPS. LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE.
THERE'S A TRAIL FROM THIS PASS
THAT WINDS ALONG THE RIDGE FOR ABOUT 5 MILES,
THEN IT TURNS NORTH HERE
AND DROPS DOWN INTO SOME OLD GRAVEL PITS.
IT'S THE BEST PLACE TO LAND A HELICOPTER AROUND HERE.
WE HAD SOME TRAINING EXERCISES THERE.
IT'S A LONG WAYS.
I'LL MAKE IT. I'LL MEET YOU THERE AT FIRST LIGHT.
LOGAN, WHAT SHAPE'S THE MOTORCYCLE IN?
YOU WERE LATE GETTING IT BACK IN THE GARAGE LAST WEEK.
I SAW YOU. IS IT GASSED UP?
YEAH.
IT'S YOUR BEST BET. TAKE THE MOTORCYCLE.
WON'T THE TRUCKS CHASE HIM?
WAIT TILL NIGHT. I'LL DISTRACT THEM.
YOU'RE UP FOR IT?
I'LL MEET YOU THERE.
WHAT IF THEY WON'T GIVE YOU A HELICOPTER?
I'LL STEAL ONE.
LET'S GO, BOYS.
HA HA HA!
I GOT A LITTLE PRESENT FOR YOU!
[DRUNKENLY] MY TRUCK!
THAT IS MY TRUCK! YOU BASTARD!
HEY!
NO!
IT'S OK, BABY. I SAVED YOU.
COME ON, BABY. COME ON.
WHAT--AAH!
DAMN!
NO! AAH!
[HORN BLARING]
[SIGHS]
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I KNOW.
WE EVER GONNA GET OUT OF HERE?
SURE WE ARE.
HEY.
WHAT?
THANKS FOR HELPING ME OUT OF THAT PIPE.
IT WASN'T ME. IT WAS MY DAD.
NO. YOU DID IT, TOO.
YOU SCARED?
YEAH.
I'M SORRY I HIT YOU.
I'M OVER IT.
ALL RIGHT...
I GOT A COMPASS HERE. THAT MIGHT HELP.
THOUGH I--HEY! HEY!
Logan: THEY TOOK OUT OUR WATER PUMP.
[HONKING]
THEY GOT THE GENERATOR.
LOGAN!
LOGAN! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF KILLED!
Hope: HURRY! HURRY!
TRUCK'S COMING!
Ray: KEEP IT COVERED. WE DON'T WANT THEM TO SEE IT.
[HONKING]
RAY, COME HERE!
[TELEPHONE IN BOOTH RINGS]
George: I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE NEXT.
SHH! LISTEN.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[RING]
[RING]
Ray: IT'S THE PHONE. OUTSIDE.
[RING]
[TRUCKS HONKING]
George: WHO COULD THAT BE?
[RING]
DAD, IT COULD BE A RESCUE PARTY OR SOMETHING.
MAYBE WE OUGHT TO ANSWER IT.
COULD BE A TRICK, TOO.
TRUCKS DIAL PHONES NOW?
WE SHOULD LET IT RING. IT'S NOT SAFE OUT THERE.
[RING] LET IT RING.
[RING]
[RING]
SOMEONE'S OUT THERE.
[RING]
ABBY! ABBY!
ABBY, NO!
AAH!
[SOBBING] I'M SORRY, DAD! I'M SORRY!
I'M SCARED SO BAD!
I'M GONNA GET YOU OUT OF HERE, I PROMISE.
MY GOD, YOU JUST MADE IT.
NO. THEY LET ME ESCAPE.
WHAT?
George: I THINK THEY'RE ABOUT OUT OF PATIENCE.
Hope: THEY'RE COMING.
Ray: LOOK OUT!
DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! DOWN! EVERYBODY GET DOWN!
[HONKING]
[HONKING]
THEY WANT US TO DO SOMETHING.
I KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
DAD, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
THEY'RE TALKING TO ME.
THAT'S WHAT ALL THESE WARNINGS ARE ABOUT. THEY WANT FUEL.
THAT'S WHY THEY LET YOU OUT OF THE DRAINAGE PIPE.
THEY WANT TO KEEP THE ONE WHO FEEDS THEM HAPPY.
NOW THEY WANT ME TO RETURN THE FAVOR.
THAD, COME HERE. COME HERE.
I'M GONNA GO FUEL THE TRUCKS.
WHEN THEY ALL COME TO THE GAS PUMPS,
THAT'LL GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO GET OUT OF THE VALLEY.
AFTER THAT, STAY OFF THE ROADS, OK?
WE'RE NOT GONNA LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS.
I KNOW. I KNOW.
WE'RE GONNA NEED FOOD AND WATER, OK?
ALL RIGHT. YOU OK?
YEAH.
OK, KEEP AN EYE ON THEM.
YOU BET.
THANKS FOR SAVING THE HARLEY.
I DO THIS ALONE.
NO! YOU'RE GONNA NEED HELP!
NO ARGUMENTS!
[HORN BLARES]
IT KNOWS.
AS SOON AS THEY START PUMPING THE GAS...
YEAH. GOOD LUCK. HEY, KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN.
YEAH.
WHAT WOULD GAS DO IN A DIESEL ENGINE?
ROT ITS GUTS.
GREAT IDEA.
I'LL SEE YOU FIRST LIGHT TOMORROW, HUH?
YOU STAY CLOSE TO RAY AND HOPE.
YOU'RE LEAVING ME?
IT'LL BE THE LAST TIME.
OK. OK. [SNIFFLING]
HONEY...
YOU'RE NOT GOING WITHOUT ME. NOT THIS TIME.
DO YOU THINK THEY HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE POISON CLOUD?
THE CHEMICALS WERE IN A TRUCK. THAT'S ALL I KNOW.
[HONKS]
WHAT WAS THAT?
THEY'RE JUST SHOWING US WHO'S IN CHARGE.
THINK THEY'RE DONE.
RIGHT. OUT THE BACK.
STAY DOWN AND WAIT.
TAKE THE FLASHLIGHT.
SEE YOU SOON.
ALL RIGHT, THAT'S THE LAST ONE.
DON'T STOP. NOW WHAT?
WHERE'S LOGAN?
Logan: HOPE! DAD! OVER HERE!
WHERE'S ABBY?
SHE WENT WITH HER DAD.
WHERE'S GEORGE? I DON'T KNOW.
OK, YOU GUYS...
LET'S GIVE THEM A HEAD START.
[HORN BLARING]
DAD, DON'T!
Ray: GEORGE, DON'T!
[HORN FADES]
RUN! UP THE HILL!
GO! UP THE HILL!
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN STOP HERE.
THEY CAN'T GET AT US.
Abby: I'M SO SORRY ABOUT GEORGE.
HE SAVED OUR LIVES.
ALL RIGHT, WE CAN GET SOME REST HERE,
HEAD DOWN TO THE GRAVEL PITS AT FIRST LIGHT.
[ENGINE GRINDING]
WINDY TO BASE. I'M GONNA NEED ANOTHER MAN UP HERE.
OVER.
WINDY TO BASE, COME IN.
[STATIC]
DAMN.
[METAL CREAKING]
[ENGINE REVS]
HEY!
HEY! WHO'S DOWN THERE!
QUIT FUCKING AROUND DOWN THERE!
HEY! WHO'S DOWN THERE?
HEY!
HEY, WHO'S DOWN THERE? COME ON! WATCH IT!
YOU GOT A MAN UP HERE! SLOW DOWN!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING? I'M WARNING YOU!
AAH! AAH!
WHOA!
I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS, YOU SON OF A BITCH!
DAMN!
CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME? HELP!
I NEED SOME HELP UP HERE!
HELP! GET ME SOME HELP UP HERE!
I'M GONNA KICK YOUR ASS, GODDAMN IT!
OH, MY GOD! HELP!
HELP! AAH!
AAH! AAH!
[YELLING]
[SCREAMING]
[MECHANICAL GROWL]
THEY STILL DOWN THERE?
I DON'T KNOW. I HEAR ENGINES EVERY NOW AND THEN.
THOUGHT I'D BE SAFE IN LUNAR.
SAME HERE.
YOU THINK THERE'S ANYPLACE SAFE ANYMORE?
I DON'T KNOW.
EVER NOTICE HOW WHEN YOU THINK
YOU'VE GOT THE WORLD UNDER CONTROL,
YOU REALIZE...
WE'RE NOT REALLY THE ONES IN CHARGE?
EARTHQUAKES, HURRICANES, FLOODS...
COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF A WORLD COVERED IN RUST.
WE'LL BE OK.
THERE!
[HELICOPTER]
HEY! HEY!
HEY! HEY!
YOU ALL RIGHT? YOU ALL RIGHT, SON?
Logan: YEAH.
YOU OK? OK, LET'S GO.
[ENGINE RUMBLING]
[HORN BLOWS]
I BLEW THAT BASTARD UP.
LET'S GO! LET'S GO! COME ON! GO! RUN!
[HORN BLOWS]
WE MADE IT! WE MADE IT! HA HA HA!
ABBY...
IT'S ME, LOGAN.
I'M PROUD OF YOU, DAD!
THANKS, BUDDY! YOU SAVED US!
Recorded voice: JUST HANG ON, FOLKS.
I REPEAT, JUST HANG ON.
