It is not okay. You can't be here.

I'm sorry.

Sweetheart, I need you to go home

and look after Sammy, okay?

But, Mom, I wanna help you here.

I know. Can you get her out of here now?

I wanna help.

Mom.

No, it's okay. Just go.

Miss, you gotta leave. Let's go.

WOMAN:
Quarantine six.

MAN 2:
In six.

CASSIE:
Some people

were immune to the virus.

And a few people got sick

and somehow recovered.

But most people didn't.

Hey.

You can't wear those shoes.

Why don't they just get it over with?

What do they want?

I think a better question is,

"What do they need?"

They've been very careful so far

not to damage it any more

than absolutely necessary.

Damage what?

Earth.

I think that's why they're here, Cassie.

They need the Earth.

But not us.

No, not us.

Ready to walk for a while, Sammy?

Yeah.

Okay.

CASSIE:
Dad, how far is it

to the refugee camp?

Just a few miles.

We should be there by nightfall.

Dad, look. Is this it?

Yeah, buddy. I think so.

Hey. Welcome.

Thanks. Hi.

Name's Hutchfield.

Hi. See ya.

Let me show you around.

Latrines are off to the left.

Farm is out that way.

OLIVER:
You got fresh water?

Yeah. Not too bad, huh?

OLIVER:
How many people are there here?

I don't know how many we got now.

305, something like that.

Dining hall over here.

When's the last time you had a hot meal?

WOMAN:
Good.

Well, maybe you can walk me through it.

Here we draw a purple hat.

WOMAN 2:
Can we get some water over here?

Whoa, Dad.

This is a Colt .45.

Okay?

This button changes out the clip.

That's loaded.

All right? Safety on.

Safety off.

Listen to me.

You're gonna carry this with you at all times,

you're not gonna tell anybody you have it,

and you're only gonna use it if it's life or death.

You got it?

I thought we were safe here.

Pumpkin, there's nothing safe anymore.

CHILD 1:
Here, you wanna put it in the basket?

CHILD 2:
Okay.

Here. Take this one.

Okay.

GIRL:
You gotta get the weeds, guys.

What was that?

Sam, come here.

What is that?

I don't know. Come on.

GIRL 2:
Asher, come on!

GIRL 3:
Mommy!

Dad!

What is that?

You see Dad?

Dad!

Cassie?

Hey, Dad.

Hey.

What's going on?

HUTCHFIELD:
All right, just take it easy.

I thought the cars didn't work.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am Colonel

Vosch of the United States Army.

My men and I are from the

Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

We're here to help.

It's about time.

Let's get you people out of here.

MAN 1:
Heck, yeah!

MAN 2:
Thank you.

Yes!

U.S.A.!

We should be ready to go at

a moment's notice, all right?

Stay with your sister, Sam.

Come on.

You can go right on the bus.

SOLDIER:
Adults,

please move to the mess hall for a briefing.
