10 Cloverfield Lane

'Ben'

Michelle, please don't hang up.

Just talk to me, okay?

I can't believe you just left.

Michelle

Come back.

Please say something.

Michelle? Talk to me.

Look, we had an argument, couples fight,

that is ..

No reason to just leave everything behind.

Running away isn't going to help anything.

Michelle, please ..

Elsewhere today, power

has still not been

restored to many cities

on the Southern seaboard.

In the wake of this afternoon's

widespread blackout..

There has been some inclement

weather in the region,

Problems seem linked to what authorities

are calling a catastrophic power surge.

That has crippled traffic in the area.

'NO SIGNAL'

Okay, ok .. please.

Please ..

Please don't hurt me.

Please,

Just let me go, okay? I won't tell anybody,

I promise.

Please just let me go. Please.

You need fluids.

You were in shock.

What're you going to do to me?

I'm going to keep you alive.

Work on getting handy with these.

My boyfriend was expecting me.

He'll send the cops looking.

I'm sorry ..

But no one is looking for you.

You got some fight in you.

I can respect that.

But don't even think

about trying that again.

You're lucky to be here at all.

My generosity only extends .. so far.

Eggs,

Tylenol to help with your pain.

Please .. please .. just let me go.

- Please.

- There's nowhere to go, Michelle.

That looks pretty.

Given it as how I saved your life,

I think that's acceptable.

You're lucky to be here at all.

- What do you mean?

- I found you.

And I saved your life,

by bringing you here.

I don't understand,

There's been an attack.

What?

An attack. A big one.

I'm not sure yet if it's

chemical, or nuclear.

But down here we're safe.

And where are we, exactly?

Underneath my farmhouse.

40 miles outside of Lake Charles.

- I .. was driving north of here.

- You were in an accident.

You were turned over on the side of the

road. I was driving by, and I saw you.

I saved your life, Michelle.

I couldn't just leave you there.

Thank you so much, for saving my life. I ..

I guess I should, I should

go to a hospital, now.

You can't leave.

An attack means all of them.

Which contaminates the air above ground.

That's, that's how it works.

How, how long do we have

to wait until it's safe?

Depends on the proximity to the

closest blast. One year, maybe two.

And that's if we're, we're talking

about weapons that we know of.

Russians were developing

some nasty stuff. And

it the martians finally

found a way to get here.

Their weapons will, will make our nukes

look like, like sticks and stones.

Luckily,

I prepared for this.

I need to use your phone, then,

To call my family.

And, and tell them that I'm safe here.

- And make sure they're okay.

- Michelle, they're not okay.

How do you know that?

Everyone outside of here is dead.

What about you?

Don't you have a family?

No.

Who's that?

Excuse me.

What is it now?

Wait.

You know what, Michelle?

I'm going to tell you, what I told him..

You need to eat, you need to sleep,

And you need to start showing me a

little bit of appreciation.

My name is Howard, by the way.

God, oh sh*t.

I'm sorry,

Sorry about that. I didn't mean to ..

Scare you.

You, hmm, hmm, you hungry?

So how're you doing, huh? You okay?

What is this?

It's a bunker.

Your room is a bit of a fixer-upper, but ..

At least you got the door.

A scary door, but you still got the door.

How long have you been down here?

A couple of days, I think. You know,

it's actually kind of hard to tell.

No windows, the sunlight, and everything.

I mean, how do we get out of here?

He didn't tell you?

About ..

Getting out of here,

is the last thing you want to do.

Cause the air out there,

It's contaminated.

I see you've met Emmett

- What happened to him?

- He did that to himself.

And his stumbling around

isn't helping anything.

What you heard earlier,

Was him knocking over a shelf with

a whole week's worth of food.

Which he's sorry for, correct?

Totally.

Let's go. Bathroom time.

This is the common are. Good for R&R.

As you can see, I've

planned for a long stay.

The applaponic system cleans

the air and keeps it fresh.

This is the living room.

Help yourself to any reading.

If you like to watch films,

I have some on DVD and VHS cassette.

Just make sure you put them back

in their sleeve when they're done.

The kitchen is fully functional. There's

an electric stove, refrigerator.

Freezer, silverware.

And that table is a family heirloom,

which means watch your glasses.

Always use coasters and placemats.

Keep you hands to yourself!

Understand?

No touching.

Take a seat.

This way.

This is my private space

Off-limits,

unless I give express permission.

Go ahead.

- Nah, I don't need to.

- You will though.

And I've got to pace these things out,

so please.

- I need privacy.

- You're welcome to close the curtain.

I can't with you standing there.

And I can't trust you not to burn this

place down. This is for my own safety.

I'm not some .. pervert. Just go.

Don't flush unless you've gone.

Can't afford wasting flushes.

Take a seat.

Are you hungry?

Those are Megan's.

She never went anywhere without two

or three of those things.

Who's Megan?

Megan's not with us anymore.

Don't worry. Just the generator.

Maybe it's a car up front.

- That's not possible.

- I heard one earlier.

Above my room.
