(FIRMLY) No.

You're such a goddamn jock!

Hey. Come on, guys. Knock it off!

(GRUNTS)

You want to go so bad.

Here, haul ass. Take your sh*t.

That goes for the rest of you.

This is your chance. Get walking.

It is World War III down there.

People are being killed.

Those could be Russians.

Jed?

What about your family, huh?

I don't know.

But I'm alive.

And I'm staying here.

My family would want me to stay alive.

Your family would want you to stay alive.

You think you're so smart, man.

But you're just a bunch of scared kids.

What do you think you are?

Alone, I guess.

No, you're not.

Here, bud.

What do you say?

I'm with you.

JED:
All right.

The rest of you get going.

All right, but if you stay

you're gonna do exactly what I say, okay?

- Huh?

- Yeah.

So come on over here and get warm.

Daryl.

Sorry.

Me too, man.

Okay.

Now,

Matt and I've been coming up to these

mountains with our dad all of our lives.

We can hunt, we can fish,

we can stay up here a long, long time.

Okay?

How long, Jed?

(JET ENGINES ROARING)

Till we don't hear that no more.

I got him!

You got him.

- Gonna eat good...

- He's still breathing.

Never shoot twice.

Shoot twice, they can find you.

He's dead, anyway.

How do you know?

I used to read a lot about

Jedediah Smith and Jim Bridger.

The Blackfeet, if you shot twice,

would know right where you were.

My dad named me after Jed Smith.

This is your first time, isn't it?

Yeah. What?

You gotta drink if it's your first. We did.

What's it taste like?

It's not too bad.

It's kinda salty like a steak or

when you've got a nosebleed, you know.

You gotta do it. It's the spirit of the deer.

When you drink it, you'll be a real hunter.

Bottoms up.

Go. Go ahead.

Go. Go for it, buddy.

All right. All right.

You did it.

His blood is yours. You know,

my dad said that once you do that

there's gonna be something

different about you. Always.

It wasn't so bad.

It wasn't that bad.

Wasn't so bad.

That's the last of it, except for the olives.

We've still got plenty of meat left.

Just stuff you shot.

So tell me, dork,

where do you suppose

hamburgers come from?

Nobody shoots them.

We need food.

We need to know.

Yeah.

We do.

All right.

We'll go into town.

JED:
Jesus.

There's no one in here, either.

It's like it's been here for 1,000 years.

(BIRD CAWING)

Come on.

Hey! The stores are open.

There's people everywhere.

Maybe it's over.

Hey, hey, hey!

- Don't go anywhere.

- Those aren't our troops.

You can't tell from here, Jed.

MATT:
Jesus Christ.

JED:
What is that?

- I've never seen a tank like that before.

- I don't know.

ROBERT:
Yeah, but they're packed.

That means something.
