blow them in riser,

we can torch that f***ing place.

So the kids there..

the kids...

Kids?

I don't see any kids!

Do they look like kids to you?

Get a hold to yourself!

- Jesus!

- Useless f*** up!

Go on, get out.

- You want to torch the building?

- Condemned.

- Infected.

- I used to live there.

We wait for the last vestige

of humanity to leave.

Now it's the time.

Let me ask you something.

What would you have done,

if the lift door had opened that day?

What would you have done,

to protect your wife?

You gotta f***ing kill them!

Let's candle these f*** ass!

Tommy?

You know what?

She's right about you.

You are insane.

I suggest you take a look at the mirror, pal.

I have a condition.

You certainly f***in do.

Help yourself

Hey, Marie...

Thanks for letting me stay.

Marie, you were right.

You were right

about the priest.

He must think I'm an idiot.

I just got upset the thought someone

took advantage of you. That's all.

And yeah,... you are an idiot.

To be honest, I thought you'd

run away, leaving me with the baby.

So, what 'happened?

Did he know who these kids were?

Actually Ted convince me that

they're not even human.

What?

That's outrageous!

Honestly,

and so easy to demonize these kids

"they're not even human".

If people have that man,

have their way,

they would lock 'em up in the building

and burn it to the ground.

I worked with a lot of socially deprived kids,

and most of them is just unloved

one of waste from broken homes.

What they need is all symphaty.

Legs first.

Let me help you.

Wait..

That's good.

Okay.

Here, first the legs...

Here we are.

- I can't do this.

- You can't do what?

She cries everytime I pick her up.

Well, baby can sense fear.

Tommy...

Do you ever try talking to Elsa?

She's a whole special person all by herself.

Not just the result of what happened to Joanne.

- Suede...

- What is?

Joanne used to make me dance

to this song.

I don't like dancing,

It made her smile.

You made her smile.

Stand up!

Marie... I don't know...

Stand up!

Try closing your eyes.

It's ok..

It's ok..

"Tommy, help yourself to the kitchen.

Will be back in time to help you to the bus. "

Elsa.

Are you okay?

You know, you're looking a lot better.

I still feel lost, though..

How can you feel lost?

Didn't you deliver the post around

here?

I worked in a post office.

Besides, it's all the same to me, every city street.

What?

Well, I'm afraid to tell you that

I actually requested more time here.

You're crazier than the priest.

Yes she, she question me.

- Is the bus almost there?

- They're there.

No way.

I'm not going down that f***ing line.

The bus stop is just three vent,
