Are you writing about me in there?

Once upon a time there was a pleasant place called Marilyn.

Maryland.

Excuse me, Maryland.

And in this land, there lived a knight...

Damn it.

Hello?

Hello?

Jen!

Hello?

Hello?

Anyone?

...see you later, ma'am.

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody home?

Who are you?

Ana?

Are you all right?

Give me a minute.

I can't tell you how good it's to see someone else.

- Freddy right?

- Yeah.

- What the hell is going on?

- I don't know.

I was searching the town and I haven't found anybody.

Me too.

- Can you turn down the music?

- Oh yeah!

Sorry, these sounds that drives me crazy.

- So you never to find...

- What...

- Sorry, you got it.

- No, you first.

You find anything?

No... I... I thought about going to the police station.

- Right.

- Yeah.

It's a good idea.

Hello!

Oh, my God!

What?

Nothing.

You know what you are doing?

No, not really.

Is anyone there? We are broadcasting from...

Pearl, can anyone hear me?

Can anybody hear me?

- Listen, keep holding and talk.

- Where are you going?

Hello.

- Is anybody there?

- Are you holding the button there?

Yeah!

Hello.

- It's weird.

- It's not working?

It's not only that it's not working,

I can't get a frequency.

My TV was just static.

What is that for?

Ever heard of being prepared?

You know how to use that thing?

Are you kiddin'?

When there is two of us, there might be more right?

Yeah, they're probably hold up in a mall somewhere...

What the hell?

What is that?

Drive!

- It's moving.

- What?

Get in the car.

Come on.

Oh, my God!

This place has been here since I was a child.

Right, it's the old diner.

My God!

Excuse me.

- Excuse me?

- Excuse me?

- Hello?

- Hello? Sir? Miss?

- Hi.

- Hello.

Hello.

Hello!

Yeah, I don't think they can hear you.

Hey. Hi, hello?

Hello. Hey.

Hey, I'm...

Hi, hi! Um... hello, hello!

Hello? Hello?

Hello?

Oh, this is one of the only places in town

that hasn't changed much over the years.

Maybe that's why I like it so much.

How's it coming?

I hope you don't mind blood.

Ah, you know I have a strong stomach.

Seventeenth annual fair CARNIVAL

Can you take a little break?

I have something for you.

That was my mother's.

She gave it to me before she died.

But it's yours.

Not anymore, happy birthday!

Thanks Aunt Lu.

It looks better on you anyway.

Moving along about 17 m.p.h.

- I remember this.

-...the same extensive damage...

What happened?

Freddy, I was...

I was sitting right here, I was...

I was 11 years old.

Tell me, what do you remember after the bus?

I woke up in my bed, I went to work...

I thought it was late.

I was in my studio,

I had fallen asleep there the night before,

and then I woke up with a full beard.

Like you hadn't shaved in months?

Me too. Not the beard...

Yeah, yeah I got it.

Maybe there was an evacuation.

Because of a virus that causes radical hair growth?

Besides, I mean...

the fact that the people were off in a hurry.

So what are you saying?

It's something else.

It's moving about 1.8 miles per hour.

That's about 5 miles to send the terror to the people.

That means that all...

take roughly 64 or 65 hours to get there.

That's less than three days.

Let's get out of here, before it gets too close to the car.

I think it's affecting the battery or something.

Are you really gonna wear that?

What?

It's already getting dark.

It's blocking the sun.

I mean, there got to be a way out.

- Underground maybe.

- Not like we have

- a subway system.

- But we have a sewer system.

All those miles outside of town?

We need to stock up on supplies, just in case.

Listen Freddy.

How you would considder if we were...

- What? Dead?

- Yeah.

- It crossed my mind.

- And?

It's a possibility.

Yeah, but I'm not convinced that's it,

I mean, it could be somehing else, you know like...

an alternative dimension, or

a parallel universe.

Are you serious?

It's a possibility.

Okay, but don't you think it's strange

that there are no other signs of life?
