Red Dawn Page #2

Synopsis: The city of Spokane, Washington is awakened by a North Korean paratrooper invasion. Marine Corps veteran Jed Eckert and his civilian brother, Matt, escape with a group of friends to an isolated cabin in the woods, where they witness the execution of their father at the hands of the ruthless Captain Cho.

- Yeah, man, I'm out.

And we're getting reports now

that the blackout may run

along the entire Northwest corridor.

Still no information on what may have

caused this massive failure, but...

- So, Matty.

- Yo!

You didn't tell me your brother was back

and all grown up.

Why are you so interested?

Because I'm an only child

and I'm curious about sibling rivalry.

I wish you had told us you were coming.

I still can't find the extra sheets

for the foldout. I've looked everywhere.

Dad, don't worry about it.

The couch is fine.

Love you.

I love you!

- Love you.

- Love you.

See you.

Hey, girls.

- Hi.

- Hey.

Got blackout duty.

Got to go rein in the crazies.

So, you saw the game?

Yes, sir, I saw it all.

I'm proud of you.

You played your hardest.

That's what matters.

They're lucky to have you.

Later.

You want a beer?

Hey, Matty, what are you doing?

I'm getting a drink.

Okay, you got a drink.

Close the door, the power's out.

Lighten up, man.

Hey, don't you have to

secure the perimeter or something?

A rendezvous with douche company?

What's going on?

Matty! We've got to find Dad. Come on.

I got no reception!

Try the radio.

Son of a b*tch.

What is this?

I don't know.

Sh*t.

Hang on!

Stay on my ass!

Hang on!

Sh*t!

- Get to the cabin!

- What? No!

The cabin!

Jed, take care of your brother,

you hear me?

Get out of here while you still can.

Go now! Go!

- No!

- Come on!

Jed, go!

- Jed, we got to get Erica.

- Where?

Next right!

Hold on!

Pool!

Erica.

- Matt!

- Erica!

No, Matty!

Get off me!

Erica!

Matty!

Matt! Jed!

Come on! Come on!

Jump in!

Go, go, go!

No, no, no!

No, that's my son!

They're just boys, okay? They're just boys.

- What do we do?

- Just follow us!

Come on!

Oh, sh*t!

- Jed!

- I know, I see it.

Jed!

Sh*t.

Come on!

- Go!

- Yes.

Anyone hurt?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

We had to leave, okay?

I'm Pete.

They're from out of town.

San Diego or something.

They just saw their dad get killed.

Okay, listen.

I want you to take these guys

and see what you can find in there.

I'll get the generator going.

Jed, we got to find out what's going on.

My parents, what about my mom?

Robert, you're right. That's your job.

So, find a radio or TV

and get us reception. Get it working, okay?

- But Jed, we can't just stay here.

- Say yes, Robert.

Yeah.

Okay.

Hook it in there.

Coming to you live from Seattle.

There.

- Is that it?

- No, no. Go back.

Freeze, freeze.

...no longer controlled

by the government of the United States.

Don't go outside

unless it's an absolute emergency.

Accidents are more likely to happen when

people move about unnecessarily.

Accidents?
