The Happening: The Hard Cut Page #2

jump in, Elliot.

She will never jump in when

you need her.

So do federal state and local officials

have a plan in place for this catastrofe...

- Are you packed?

- Yes.

- What are they saying?

- They're evacuating New York City!

Our brains come equipped with

a self-preservation mechanism...

to stop us from harmful actions.

This is controlled by a combination of

electrochemical signals in the brain.

The blocking of neurotransmitters

by certain toxins...

has been proven to cause hallucinations,

asphyxiation, and paralysis.

This new neurotoxin basically flips

the preservation switch...

blocking neurotransmitters

in a specific order...

causing specific self-damaging

and catastrophic affects.

Just how the toxin works...

It makes you kill yourself.

Just when you tought that couln'd be

any more evil that could be invented.

I'll be packed in two minutes.

Hello?

No need to rush.

Sir, let me check your...

Elliot! Elliot!

Elliot!

Autopsies on the first

victims confirm:

The toxin is a natural compound.

The attacks remain confined to the

New York metropolitan area.

Track three now boarding

for Harrisburg.

Hey, Jess. Where's Evette?

She was at a shop across town.

She's stuck in traffic.

She said she'd take the

next train.

We'll wait.

She wanted us to get on this train

with Jess. She'd feel safer.

- Where's Alma?

- Restroom.

Hey, Julian.

I bought them.

It was like getting one of those Cabage

Patch dolls when they first came out.

- I'm a madass. How are you?

- Good. You?

Good.

- Okay, good. Why don't we...?

- I'm really glad you chose to come.

Thanks. Hmm...

Elliot, can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

Show me your tickets,

ladies and gentleman.

- You told him about our fight?

- No.

- Why did he say that?

- He guessed!

I love you, Elliot. But I don't like to put

out my feelings for everyone to see it.

I'm not that type of person.

These are our problems.

I'm upset.

I'll cool off. By the time

we get there I'll be fine. Okay?

Fine.

I'm going to get in the train.

We're not going to get to

sit together anyway.

Okay.

- Hey, babe.

- Hi, aunt Alma.

- How are you doing?

- Hanging in there.

Me too.

- What's wrong with you?

- What?

You are wrong about her.

She just needs time to figger it out.

- Don't be all sensitive.

- Just give her a chance!

Okay, fine.

If you don't want my help...

- I don't want you help!

- Okay. I heard you.

Jess, can you ask your

dad for my ticket, please?

Thank you.

See you on the train, Jess.

Here we go.

Is mommy going to meet

us at grandma's?

Mommy is going to get

on the next train.

You know she's aways late.

Come on, come on.

I know. I know.

Chilly isn't it today, Sal?
