Between (2015) s01e06 Episode Script
War
Previously, on Between We are putting Pretty Lake under full quarantine.
In the meantime, our military will use whatever force necessary on anyone trying to enter or leave the area.
They're leaving you people to die before you infect the rest of us.
You know what, your brother is one sick Watch out! - She's dead.
- We need to leave.
I'm sorry.
You remind me your father.
We are nothing alike.
I apologize for the late hour, but you have something that belongs to me.
I'm here for my wife, Hanna.
I'm so sorry.
So besides this kid, Adam, there appears to be no one else investigating what happened? No.
What do you know about Art Carey? I found a canister on his body.
I think it might be involved in the deaths.
Please.
Adam Dad.
[computer beeping.]
[Clarence.]
Adam.
Adam, come on.
Hey, wake up.
Wake up.
Come on.
Come on.
She hit you pretty hard.
I think you passed out.
I let you sleep as long as I could, but we gotta move.
Come on.
[Adam.]
Hey, wait.
What the hell is going on? We don't have time, okay? Let's go.
Come on.
[grunts.]
Here.
Go where? I can get us out of here.
How? There is no way out.
How do you think I got in? Come on.
[Wiley.]
Watch out! Amanda! Help me! [Pat.]
She just ran into the road.
I didn't see her.
[Wiley.]
Yeah, I know.
[Pat.]
Where'd she come from? - She didn't see the car? - [Wiley.]
Amanda, come on! She's dead.
- What are we gonna do? - [Pat.]
We have to leave.
[breathing heavily.]
[Chuck sighs.]
What'd you find out? No one knows anything for sure.
But? The pharmacy was broken into.
The meds are missing.
Creekers.
Looks that way.
[stammers.]
You don't just leave somebody in the street to die like that.
You stay.
You stay with her.
You [Chuck sniffles.]
Round up the boys.
Tell 'em to meet back here as soon as you can.
Everybody comes armed.
Wait, are you sure you know what you're doing? Yep.
[cows mooing.]
You're up early.
The cows needed to be milked.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize for anything.
Please, can you at least look at me? You could've told me you were married.
Well, if you want an excuse, I couldn't think of anything that didn't sound completely weird.
I also didn't expect to find myself having feelings for someone so soon.
Do you love him? The marriage is what the community wanted.
Instead of putting a stop to it, I just went along with it until I was married was a wife.
So then why go back? Because they need me.
Because I can run away from John, but I can't run away from my community.
Well, then you better be getting back.
Let me go back before they figure it out and try to explain this to Chuck.
Yeah, and then he'll know it was Pat for sure.
Yeah, but maybe I can make him understand that it was an accident.
And what scenario do you think ends up with him understanding? If that happened to me, Pat or Ronnie, I wouldn't be much in the mood for talking it out.
Pat's gone.
[Melissa.]
Is Chuck okay? [Samantha.]
Yeah.
Any ideas who it was? The Creekers.
[sighs.]
Look, everyone knows that your sister's with them.
You realize she has a target on her back as well, right? Yeah.
Is there any way that you can get to her and talk to her? She's never listened to me before.
She's not gonna start now.
They don't have anyone keeping guard.
No one in the woods either.
They don't know we're coming.
Maybe they didn't do it or they know and it's a trap.
There's only one way to find out.
Come on.
- Uh, is is Chuck home? - No.
You expecting him back any time soon? Yeah.
[sighs.]
No, sorry, uh No, I don't think so.
Why? What's up? I killed Amanda.
[exhales.]
The house being empty doesn't prove they didn't do it.
You're gonna want to see this.
You think this was here yesterday? No.
You? No definitely not.
Milk's ready.
If you're not going into town, I'll do it.
You need to stay here.
We both do.
What about Melissa's kids? They need the milk.
You ever wonder why he did it? Did what? You know.
Every day.
You? I keep asking myself was it 'cause of the virus or was the virus just an excuse? You're not thinking of doing the same thing, are you, Gord? No.
I couldn't do that to you.
Then drive me into town.
Okay.
[door opening.]
[sighs.]
It was the Creekers.
Yeah, I know.
You do? How? [sighs.]
Come here.
[Clarence panting.]
Do you still have the geo coordinates to the tunnel? - [Adam.]
Yes.
- We're less than ten minutes away.
Then we'll get you out.
What about you? [breathing heavily.]
Doesn't matter.
Yes, it does.
- I'm not leaving without you.
- [grunting.]
Listen the tunnel, it's an old utility corridor.
Supposed to be a military base.
Dad tell me you're immune.
The tunnel was finished, the site was scrapped, so it's not on any maps.
Stop talking about the tunnel.
- Tell me you have the cure.
- There is no cure.
How do you know? Because I worked on it.
- [vehicles approaching.]
- Get down.
Get down.
You had no right to guarantee that.
Where's Pat? Look, he gave me his word, okay? Will you do the same? For a Creeker, that means nothing.
Yeah, but he came here on his own and he wants to make this right.
[Clarence coughing.]
[sighs.]
They're early.
What are they doing here? The government sent them.
But what the soldiers don't know is that they've been sent to exterminate everyone in Pretty Lake.
The troops think that the injections are saving the kids, but the government lied to them.
The soldiers, they wear these masks but there's no protection against the virus.
It's only ever a matter of time before even they'll be dead.
You have to leave, now, while there's still time.
They can't just kill us.
Yes, they can.
We have to warn people.
No, there's no time, Adam.
You understand? You have no choice.
What about you? It's too late for me already.
- I won't just leave you here.
- No.
The moment I stepped into Pretty Lake, I knew I was dead.
I came back for you, and if you don't leave now, my death will be for nothing.
Just go.
- [groans.]
- I can't, I - I have to warn - There's no time, Adam.
I love you.
[grunts.]
- But I have to help Wiley.
- [retching.]
Dad.
There are no cars parked here.
You think Pat might be inside? We're running out of options, okay? We searched everywhere else.
[Ronnie.]
Slowly.
Where's Pat? Ronnie, put the gun down.
Okay? That goes for the rest of you guys.
Hey, we're not taking orders from you.
Look, we just want Pat, okay? Nobody needs to get hurt.
Yeah, I agree, but Pat admitted that he killed Amanda, - and he wants this to end.
- That's bullshit.
We have a way to settle this once and for all.
They're waiting for us at the church.
[Chuck.]
I still haven't heard your proposal.
I'm not gonna run anymore.
I came into town so this ends.
You want justice for your sister, and I'm offering justice.
Even death? Yes, on one condition.
Pat, don't do this, okay? It wasn't your fault.
You don't need to die for this.
Ronnie I don't want any more people getting hurt.
The retaliation has to end.
Do you think if Chuck had done this to one of ours, we'd be acting any differently? No, we'd want blood.
I get that.
And I'm willing to suffer the consequences.
I need promises from you and Chuck that this ends with me, no matter what.
Chuck? Whatever I decide? Yeah.
- Hey, Mel? - Yeah? How is your food supply holding up? Uh, we're running out.
Okay, I can check some houses.
Maybe I can scrounge something up.
Looks like you won't have to.
[Mark.]
Hey.
Found these at the bar.
Thanks.
There's more where that came from.
- [vehicles approaching.]
- [Franny.]
Gord, look at this.
[car doors opening.]
[Gord.]
What's going on? [Melissa.]
What was Samantha thinking? She wasn't supposed to send for everybody.
Franny, watch the kids.
Everybody knows that this is a fair and just punishment.
[Samantha.]
Chuck, you don't want to do this.
Pat, don't do this, please, okay? We can fight our way out of this.
Not without getting hurt.
Ronnie, you made a promise.
I have your word.
This has to be done.
Anything else you want to say before I pull the trigger? No, I'm done talking.
[gun cocking.]
Chuck, stop.
This is wrong.
- Wiley, get out of the way.
- No.
I was there, too.
If you shoot him, then you're gonna shoot me first.
She's lying.
I was by myself.
Wiley, this isn't your fight.
Yes, it is.
I could've stayed, and I didn't.
I don't know what your game is, but you're lying.
You're lying.
[Melissa.]
No, she isn't.
Tell them, Melissa.
Last night, before it happened, I caught them at the pharmacy.
She was with Pat.
- Stop, Melissa.
She's your sister.
- No.
No, she's finally taking responsibility for her actions and for her sins.
Aren't you, Wiley? Yeah, that's right.
Mom and Dad would be so proud.
I don't care! Look he was driving! No, shoot me.
Why don't you tell Chuck who the father is? Thought I didn't know, didn't you? [voice breaking.]
Melissa, stay out of this.
If you don't tell him, I will.
You don't know what you're talking about.
This ends now! Wiley, move! [Melissa.]
Tell him! [sighs.]
[crying.]
It's your father, Chuck.
[cell phones chiming.]
[Tracey.]
Is that your phone? What's going on? [Miller.]
Residents of Pretty Lake, we have found a cure to stop the spread of the disease.
[all cheering.]
So before the quarantine can be lifted, absolutely everyone must receive an inoculation.
This must be done quickly and efficiently, as our soldiers are still at risk of airborne exposure.
Please make your way to the penitentiary immediately.
Thank you for your cooperation.
[Felix.]
It's over.
[sighs.]
I can't believe it.
Chuck put the gun down.
Is that true? This is my brother? Yeah.
How? Um His name is Jason.
Jason? Yeah.
[Ronnie.]
Let's get out of here.
Come on.
You and I aren't finished.
Stop.
No one's going anywhere.
They've come to kill us.
[soldier 1.]
How much time left? [soldier 2.]
Just over four hours before we need to evac Pretty Lake.
[soldier 1.]
That doesn't seem like much time to round up 1,000 kids.
Stop.
There's a large group in that church.
Call for more transport.
Adam, this is ridiculous.
How do you even know that what your father told you is true? You have to believe me.
There is no cure.
Okay, enough with the conspiracy theories.
Why would the government want us dead? They're cleaning up their mess.
Yo, that doesn't make sense.
All right, give us one good reason we should believe you.
Think about everything that's happened, from the outbreak to the quarantine.
There are more questions than answers.
For one, why haven't we been able to contact the outside? Well, the power going out would've blown the cell towers.
Then what about the landlines or TVs? Why don't they work? We can't use walkies either, and they they don't need a tower.
They've declared the area a no-fly zone.
Think about what happened to Vince and Kevin in the plane.
My guess, the same thing would happen to anyone trying to fly in.
It's clear they don't want us talking or knowing anything.
- This is a huge cover-up.
- [door opening.]
[soldier.]
All right, everyone.
There's no time to waste.
We must leave immediately.
[soldier 1.]
Okay, guys, keep moving.
We gotta go.
- [soldier 2.]
Good job.
That's it.
- What about my brother? [soldier 1.]
We'll get everyone.
Don't worry.
Please, keep moving.
[soldier 1.]
Please, everyone, we need you to come with us.
I need to get to my sister.
[soldier 1.]
There's no time.
You guys should've been heading to the prison already.
She's just in the other room.
I promise I'll bring her right back.
[soldier 1.]
Sorry, that just can't happen.
- How do we know this isn't a trap? - [soldier 2.]
A trap? We're risking our lives to help you.
We only have so much time before we could become infected.
Prove to me that we aren't being sent to our deaths.
[soldier 2.]
Listen, I don't have time for this.
The decontaminations need to happen as quickly as possible, so move.
Or what? [Wiley.]
Hey! [Gord.]
What are you doing? He was just asking a question.
You didn't have to do that.
[soldier 2.]
Yes, we did.
We are under severe time restrictions.
You know what? I believe Adam.
Me, too.
- [soldier 1.]
Hey.
- [groaning.]
- [Pat.]
Get down.
- [Felix.]
Don't move.
[soldier.]
Okay, okay.
If Adam's wrong, we're all screwed.
[children talking indistinctly.]
[Hanna sighs.]
Frances.
I was starting to wonder if the quarantine would ever be lifted.
I know, it's incredible, isn't it? - Is is Gord around? - No, he wasn't in the van.
[soldier 1.]
Let's keep moving, please.
Well, when you see him, can you tell him I was asking for him? I'm sure he'll be glad to hear it.
Okay.
[soldier 2.]
Okay, kids.
Right this way.
[gun cocking.]
So, you saw your dad? He came back.
He tried to save me.
Did he fail or did you come back? A bit of both, I guess.
Probably the biggest mistake of your life.
I'm already starting to think exactly the same thing.
[sighs.]
Well, thank you.
It means a lot.
[exhales.]
Okay, Wiley and Melissa are gonna stay here with Jason.
The rest of you are with me.
If Adam's right, there's not much time before the soldiers die from the virus.
Before that, we have to prevent them from injecting as many kids as possible.
If we can get to the prison control room, we can lock this place down and end this decontamination process.
If we lock all the doors, they'll focus on trying to get out and stop injecting the kids.
Then we wait for the soldiers to die.
I just wish I knew my way around.
I don't have a map or anything.
I think I can help.
How? I was an inmate.
Okay, Cassidy, you're next.
Come on, kiddo.
Have a seat right there.
How you feeling? I just wish we weren't putting everything on a long shot.
When did you know? One day, I came early to pick you up from your job at the dealership, and I saw the two of you in his office.
You saw? Not enough to know for sure, but I suspected as much.
Why didn't you say anything? We weren't exactly the closest, Wiley.
And when you told Mom and Dad that you were pregnant and keeping the baby, I knew why you'd done it.
- Why? - To hurt them.
You think I did this to hurt them? What other reason could there be? Well, because maybe there was something between us that actually mattered - [door closes.]
- Shh! Someone's coming.
Wiley, we have to hide.
[Gord.]
Okay, everyone.
This is it.
Handcuffs on.
[Gord.]
Let's move it.
Everybody out.
[soldier.]
This group goes to cell block B.
Are you sure you can find the control room? Spent enough time here.
Yeah.
What were you in for? Jaywalking.
[Pat.]
I don't like this at all breaking into a prison.
You got a better idea? No.
I guess we're in this together.
- Who would've guessed? - [Chuck sighs.]
- Yeah, who would've guessed? - [door buzzing.]
- [Gord.]
Okay, let's go.
- [door opening.]
[soldier.]
Hey, hey.
What's going on? [Gord.]
These guys resisted.
They say they don't want to be decontaminated.
[soldier.]
Hard to believe you kids want to stay that badly.
Don't you understand what we're risking for you? [Gord.]
Doesn't make sense to me either.
Move.
[soldier 1.]
Corridor five.
Corridor five.
[soldier 2.]
Copy that.
Move it.
[soldier 1.]
Watch out, they're on the move.
So make a right.
- [soldier 3.]
Let's go, people.
- Keep moving.
- [handcuffs clicking.]
- [Mark.]
We're almost there.
[Adam.]
Where to? [Mark.]
This way.
[soldier 1.]
Hey! What are you guys doing here? [Gord.]
We're taking these kids to be decontaminated.
[soldier 1.]
That's back the way you came from! - [Gord.]
Hey.
- No need for that.
Adam, go.
Get these guys to the control room.
Chuck and I will hold them here.
I'm not leaving you here with him after what happened at the church.
[Pat.]
You'll be more useful to them.
Just go, Ronnie.
[Ronnie.]
Come on.
[soldier.]
You guys are making a mistake.
Shut up.
Why did you do it? [softly.]
Um You know, he listened to me.
It wasn't planned.
It's not like I ever thought of him that way or anything.
Suddenly, we just kind of had a connection.
We both felt really bad about it.
If you would've seen him, then you'd know how sorry he was.
And then I got pregnant.
A guy like Charles Lotts is expected to know better.
You you, I understand.
I'm not a victim, Melissa.
I chose to have this baby.
- [Jason crying.]
- [shushing.]
[softly.]
Shit! What are you two doing? You're supposed to report to the jail for decontamination.
Come on, let's go.
All right, flat on the floor.
Hands behind your back, now.
- Let's go.
- [soldier 1.]
You don't want to do this.
- [soldier 2.]
Stop! Drop your weapon! - [gunshots.]
[soldier 2.]
You guys all right? [soldier 1.]
We're okay.
[soldier 3.]
Go! I think they're headed to the control room.
- [Adam.]
Okay, where to now? - [Mark.]
It's just down here.
[Gord.]
Wait.
Let me check it out first.
- [soldier.]
Stop! Identify yourself! - [Gord.]
Shit! We're screwed.
- Adam, go now.
I'll cover you.
- [soldier.]
Identify yourself! It's down the hall.
Second door on your right.
[Adam.]
You're not coming? If this goes south, I'll need to get them out.
[Gord.]
Go, Adam! You need to lock it down to stop the injections! Run! [panting.]
[man.]
Stop.
You don't know what you're doing.
You're supposed to be dead.
People believe what they want to believe.
Bile isn't so hard to fake.
[scoffs.]
You wouldn't listen.
All you had to All you had to do was leave.
I didn't want you to see any of this.
Why'd you come back? I couldn't go knowing everyone would be killed.
Hmm.
I had to at least try to save 'em.
No, they can't be saved.
It's too late.
- Adam - I can, I can save them Stop.
Adam, stop.
'Cause even if there was a chance that you could save those kids you risk infecting everyone else on Earth.
Look, no prison is 100% secure, and we feel it's only a matter of time before someone escapes.
"We"? What do you mean, "we"? I synthesized the pathogen by splicing a viral genome with my own my DNA.
And that's why you're immune.
Because it's already a part of you.
It's a part of me.
And we're the only two that can leave here without infecting others.
Everyone else here is a carrier.
[Wiley.]
Melissa, we have to do something.
Wiley, how can you even be sure that Adam's right? I trust him.
It makes sense, okay? [sighs.]
Please! Let us go! The decontaminations are gonna kill us! Please, you're sending us to our deaths! Let us go! Wiley, stop it.
You're gonna piss them off.
[soldier 1.]
Just shut up! We're less than a minute from the prison.
- [retching.]
- [soldier 2.]
Craig, what's wrong? Craig! Craig! [crashing.]
You're lying.
Why should I believe you? Nothing you've said is true.
If you and I are the only ones immune, why aren't they dead then? They will be, when they turn 22.
Because it's tapped into their biological clocks.
This doesn't make sense.
Why design a virus like this? What for? The projections on population growth they're terrifying.
And it was in our best interest to look for a solution.
This is about population control.
You know we're past the tipping point in greenhouse gas emissions? Food? Water? How long do you think we have before those resources run out? This is not science fiction, Adam.
This planet cannot be sustained.
The virus was engineered to thin the population.
To cull the weak and the elderly to give the rest of us a chance.
A chance at survival.
But it worked too well.
All it needs is to penetrate one host cell, and it will replicate aggressively.
And you cannot stop it once it's begun.
So this was a test.
What? - This was a test on innocent people.
- No, of course not.
We didn't even try it on mice.
Look there was a scientist, who, uh Art Carey? Yes.
Art and I never did see eye to eye.
And when he went rogue I knew I was in danger, so I disappeared.
I thought that would buy me some protection until I could find him.
I thought that it would save you from getting hurt.
And I was wrong.
Why are you here? I came back to get you out.
To clean up this mess.
To murder everyone.
No, no.
We've gotta stop the virus before it spreads.
And the only way to do that is to kill all the carriers.
You see that, don't you, Adam? That is the humane thing to do.
[panting.]
[gun cocking.]
- Any clue where we are? - No.
- You hear something? - No, you? Let's keep going up, see if we can get to the roof.
Okay.
[door opening.]
[soldier.]
I hear them.
They're down there! Stop! Do not move! Go, go, go, go! [Gord.]
Shit.
I'm out.
Well, what are we gonna do? - We should go back.
- Let's go.
Go! [soldier.]
Hands up! Or I'll shoot! Guns on the ground, now! [soldier.]
Right here.
Have a seat.
[Clarence.]
Adam.
You step away from the controls, I will save you.
[voice breaking.]
I can't let you kill everyone.
[sniffles.]
I can't.
There has to be another way.
I've told you everything, Adam.
You know that there isn't.
- Come on, I'm not - Hey, hey.
Stop.
Stop, or I'll shoot.
I mean it.
No, you won't.
'Cause you understand that I'm right.
That at least you can save yourself.
- At least - Stop, or I'll shoot! Okay, you and I both know that you're not gonna shoot me.
We don't have time for this, Adam.
I'm on your side! [voice breaking.]
I need to stop this.
Trust me! Please! Now, our operatives can't resist the virus much longer, even with the suits.
You have to trust me, Adam.
- Stop.
Stop.
I said stop! - No! Adam! I love you.
And I know you're gonna do the right thing.
- [gunshot.]
- [grunts.]
[exhales.]
I'm sorry.
Like lambs to the slaughter.
[computer beeping.]
[soldier 1.]
Go, go! [soldier 2.]
Stop! We got 'em.
- [Pat.]
I'm out.
- [both panting.]
- We're screwed.
- Seems like it.
Look, it's important for you to know your sister's death was an accident.
Do you believe me? Yeah, I do.
Good.
Stay here.
[Jason crying.]
- [crying continues.]
- [man on radio.]
Attention.
The control room has been compromised.
- Mission has been aborted.
- [Wiley coughing.]
All military personnel must evacuate the prison immediately.
I repeat, evacuate the prison immediately.
Melissa? Melissa, wake up, come on.
No, come on, wake up! [coughing.]
Melissa.
Melissa, come on! [continues coughing.]
[door buzzing.]
[door buzzing.]
- [Ronnie.]
You think it's a trap? - [Gord.]
No.
They're dead from the virus.
I need to find Franny.
It's this way.
What happened? [sighs.]
Your brother saved my life.
Franny! Franny? I was next, Gord.
I was next.
[footsteps approaching.]
Did you see them? Why did they need to kill us? What harm could we have done? You know, we did everything they asked.
They wouldn't have done something like this if they knew they were going to die.
That they were killing kids.
Then why? They were lied to.
Everyone's been lied to.
This isn't over.
They'll be back.
So, what are we supposed to do now? Just wait around to die? No.
Then what? I have a way out.
In the meantime, our military will use whatever force necessary on anyone trying to enter or leave the area.
They're leaving you people to die before you infect the rest of us.
You know what, your brother is one sick Watch out! - She's dead.
- We need to leave.
I'm sorry.
You remind me your father.
We are nothing alike.
I apologize for the late hour, but you have something that belongs to me.
I'm here for my wife, Hanna.
I'm so sorry.
So besides this kid, Adam, there appears to be no one else investigating what happened? No.
What do you know about Art Carey? I found a canister on his body.
I think it might be involved in the deaths.
Please.
Adam Dad.
[computer beeping.]
[Clarence.]
Adam.
Adam, come on.
Hey, wake up.
Wake up.
Come on.
Come on.
She hit you pretty hard.
I think you passed out.
I let you sleep as long as I could, but we gotta move.
Come on.
[Adam.]
Hey, wait.
What the hell is going on? We don't have time, okay? Let's go.
Come on.
[grunts.]
Here.
Go where? I can get us out of here.
How? There is no way out.
How do you think I got in? Come on.
[Wiley.]
Watch out! Amanda! Help me! [Pat.]
She just ran into the road.
I didn't see her.
[Wiley.]
Yeah, I know.
[Pat.]
Where'd she come from? - She didn't see the car? - [Wiley.]
Amanda, come on! She's dead.
- What are we gonna do? - [Pat.]
We have to leave.
[breathing heavily.]
[Chuck sighs.]
What'd you find out? No one knows anything for sure.
But? The pharmacy was broken into.
The meds are missing.
Creekers.
Looks that way.
[stammers.]
You don't just leave somebody in the street to die like that.
You stay.
You stay with her.
You [Chuck sniffles.]
Round up the boys.
Tell 'em to meet back here as soon as you can.
Everybody comes armed.
Wait, are you sure you know what you're doing? Yep.
[cows mooing.]
You're up early.
The cows needed to be milked.
I'm sorry.
You don't need to apologize for anything.
Please, can you at least look at me? You could've told me you were married.
Well, if you want an excuse, I couldn't think of anything that didn't sound completely weird.
I also didn't expect to find myself having feelings for someone so soon.
Do you love him? The marriage is what the community wanted.
Instead of putting a stop to it, I just went along with it until I was married was a wife.
So then why go back? Because they need me.
Because I can run away from John, but I can't run away from my community.
Well, then you better be getting back.
Let me go back before they figure it out and try to explain this to Chuck.
Yeah, and then he'll know it was Pat for sure.
Yeah, but maybe I can make him understand that it was an accident.
And what scenario do you think ends up with him understanding? If that happened to me, Pat or Ronnie, I wouldn't be much in the mood for talking it out.
Pat's gone.
[Melissa.]
Is Chuck okay? [Samantha.]
Yeah.
Any ideas who it was? The Creekers.
[sighs.]
Look, everyone knows that your sister's with them.
You realize she has a target on her back as well, right? Yeah.
Is there any way that you can get to her and talk to her? She's never listened to me before.
She's not gonna start now.
They don't have anyone keeping guard.
No one in the woods either.
They don't know we're coming.
Maybe they didn't do it or they know and it's a trap.
There's only one way to find out.
Come on.
- Uh, is is Chuck home? - No.
You expecting him back any time soon? Yeah.
[sighs.]
No, sorry, uh No, I don't think so.
Why? What's up? I killed Amanda.
[exhales.]
The house being empty doesn't prove they didn't do it.
You're gonna want to see this.
You think this was here yesterday? No.
You? No definitely not.
Milk's ready.
If you're not going into town, I'll do it.
You need to stay here.
We both do.
What about Melissa's kids? They need the milk.
You ever wonder why he did it? Did what? You know.
Every day.
You? I keep asking myself was it 'cause of the virus or was the virus just an excuse? You're not thinking of doing the same thing, are you, Gord? No.
I couldn't do that to you.
Then drive me into town.
Okay.
[door opening.]
[sighs.]
It was the Creekers.
Yeah, I know.
You do? How? [sighs.]
Come here.
[Clarence panting.]
Do you still have the geo coordinates to the tunnel? - [Adam.]
Yes.
- We're less than ten minutes away.
Then we'll get you out.
What about you? [breathing heavily.]
Doesn't matter.
Yes, it does.
- I'm not leaving without you.
- [grunting.]
Listen the tunnel, it's an old utility corridor.
Supposed to be a military base.
Dad tell me you're immune.
The tunnel was finished, the site was scrapped, so it's not on any maps.
Stop talking about the tunnel.
- Tell me you have the cure.
- There is no cure.
How do you know? Because I worked on it.
- [vehicles approaching.]
- Get down.
Get down.
You had no right to guarantee that.
Where's Pat? Look, he gave me his word, okay? Will you do the same? For a Creeker, that means nothing.
Yeah, but he came here on his own and he wants to make this right.
[Clarence coughing.]
[sighs.]
They're early.
What are they doing here? The government sent them.
But what the soldiers don't know is that they've been sent to exterminate everyone in Pretty Lake.
The troops think that the injections are saving the kids, but the government lied to them.
The soldiers, they wear these masks but there's no protection against the virus.
It's only ever a matter of time before even they'll be dead.
You have to leave, now, while there's still time.
They can't just kill us.
Yes, they can.
We have to warn people.
No, there's no time, Adam.
You understand? You have no choice.
What about you? It's too late for me already.
- I won't just leave you here.
- No.
The moment I stepped into Pretty Lake, I knew I was dead.
I came back for you, and if you don't leave now, my death will be for nothing.
Just go.
- [groans.]
- I can't, I - I have to warn - There's no time, Adam.
I love you.
[grunts.]
- But I have to help Wiley.
- [retching.]
Dad.
There are no cars parked here.
You think Pat might be inside? We're running out of options, okay? We searched everywhere else.
[Ronnie.]
Slowly.
Where's Pat? Ronnie, put the gun down.
Okay? That goes for the rest of you guys.
Hey, we're not taking orders from you.
Look, we just want Pat, okay? Nobody needs to get hurt.
Yeah, I agree, but Pat admitted that he killed Amanda, - and he wants this to end.
- That's bullshit.
We have a way to settle this once and for all.
They're waiting for us at the church.
[Chuck.]
I still haven't heard your proposal.
I'm not gonna run anymore.
I came into town so this ends.
You want justice for your sister, and I'm offering justice.
Even death? Yes, on one condition.
Pat, don't do this, okay? It wasn't your fault.
You don't need to die for this.
Ronnie I don't want any more people getting hurt.
The retaliation has to end.
Do you think if Chuck had done this to one of ours, we'd be acting any differently? No, we'd want blood.
I get that.
And I'm willing to suffer the consequences.
I need promises from you and Chuck that this ends with me, no matter what.
Chuck? Whatever I decide? Yeah.
- Hey, Mel? - Yeah? How is your food supply holding up? Uh, we're running out.
Okay, I can check some houses.
Maybe I can scrounge something up.
Looks like you won't have to.
[Mark.]
Hey.
Found these at the bar.
Thanks.
There's more where that came from.
- [vehicles approaching.]
- [Franny.]
Gord, look at this.
[car doors opening.]
[Gord.]
What's going on? [Melissa.]
What was Samantha thinking? She wasn't supposed to send for everybody.
Franny, watch the kids.
Everybody knows that this is a fair and just punishment.
[Samantha.]
Chuck, you don't want to do this.
Pat, don't do this, please, okay? We can fight our way out of this.
Not without getting hurt.
Ronnie, you made a promise.
I have your word.
This has to be done.
Anything else you want to say before I pull the trigger? No, I'm done talking.
[gun cocking.]
Chuck, stop.
This is wrong.
- Wiley, get out of the way.
- No.
I was there, too.
If you shoot him, then you're gonna shoot me first.
She's lying.
I was by myself.
Wiley, this isn't your fight.
Yes, it is.
I could've stayed, and I didn't.
I don't know what your game is, but you're lying.
You're lying.
[Melissa.]
No, she isn't.
Tell them, Melissa.
Last night, before it happened, I caught them at the pharmacy.
She was with Pat.
- Stop, Melissa.
She's your sister.
- No.
No, she's finally taking responsibility for her actions and for her sins.
Aren't you, Wiley? Yeah, that's right.
Mom and Dad would be so proud.
I don't care! Look he was driving! No, shoot me.
Why don't you tell Chuck who the father is? Thought I didn't know, didn't you? [voice breaking.]
Melissa, stay out of this.
If you don't tell him, I will.
You don't know what you're talking about.
This ends now! Wiley, move! [Melissa.]
Tell him! [sighs.]
[crying.]
It's your father, Chuck.
[cell phones chiming.]
[Tracey.]
Is that your phone? What's going on? [Miller.]
Residents of Pretty Lake, we have found a cure to stop the spread of the disease.
[all cheering.]
So before the quarantine can be lifted, absolutely everyone must receive an inoculation.
This must be done quickly and efficiently, as our soldiers are still at risk of airborne exposure.
Please make your way to the penitentiary immediately.
Thank you for your cooperation.
[Felix.]
It's over.
[sighs.]
I can't believe it.
Chuck put the gun down.
Is that true? This is my brother? Yeah.
How? Um His name is Jason.
Jason? Yeah.
[Ronnie.]
Let's get out of here.
Come on.
You and I aren't finished.
Stop.
No one's going anywhere.
They've come to kill us.
[soldier 1.]
How much time left? [soldier 2.]
Just over four hours before we need to evac Pretty Lake.
[soldier 1.]
That doesn't seem like much time to round up 1,000 kids.
Stop.
There's a large group in that church.
Call for more transport.
Adam, this is ridiculous.
How do you even know that what your father told you is true? You have to believe me.
There is no cure.
Okay, enough with the conspiracy theories.
Why would the government want us dead? They're cleaning up their mess.
Yo, that doesn't make sense.
All right, give us one good reason we should believe you.
Think about everything that's happened, from the outbreak to the quarantine.
There are more questions than answers.
For one, why haven't we been able to contact the outside? Well, the power going out would've blown the cell towers.
Then what about the landlines or TVs? Why don't they work? We can't use walkies either, and they they don't need a tower.
They've declared the area a no-fly zone.
Think about what happened to Vince and Kevin in the plane.
My guess, the same thing would happen to anyone trying to fly in.
It's clear they don't want us talking or knowing anything.
- This is a huge cover-up.
- [door opening.]
[soldier.]
All right, everyone.
There's no time to waste.
We must leave immediately.
[soldier 1.]
Okay, guys, keep moving.
We gotta go.
- [soldier 2.]
Good job.
That's it.
- What about my brother? [soldier 1.]
We'll get everyone.
Don't worry.
Please, keep moving.
[soldier 1.]
Please, everyone, we need you to come with us.
I need to get to my sister.
[soldier 1.]
There's no time.
You guys should've been heading to the prison already.
She's just in the other room.
I promise I'll bring her right back.
[soldier 1.]
Sorry, that just can't happen.
- How do we know this isn't a trap? - [soldier 2.]
A trap? We're risking our lives to help you.
We only have so much time before we could become infected.
Prove to me that we aren't being sent to our deaths.
[soldier 2.]
Listen, I don't have time for this.
The decontaminations need to happen as quickly as possible, so move.
Or what? [Wiley.]
Hey! [Gord.]
What are you doing? He was just asking a question.
You didn't have to do that.
[soldier 2.]
Yes, we did.
We are under severe time restrictions.
You know what? I believe Adam.
Me, too.
- [soldier 1.]
Hey.
- [groaning.]
- [Pat.]
Get down.
- [Felix.]
Don't move.
[soldier.]
Okay, okay.
If Adam's wrong, we're all screwed.
[children talking indistinctly.]
[Hanna sighs.]
Frances.
I was starting to wonder if the quarantine would ever be lifted.
I know, it's incredible, isn't it? - Is is Gord around? - No, he wasn't in the van.
[soldier 1.]
Let's keep moving, please.
Well, when you see him, can you tell him I was asking for him? I'm sure he'll be glad to hear it.
Okay.
[soldier 2.]
Okay, kids.
Right this way.
[gun cocking.]
So, you saw your dad? He came back.
He tried to save me.
Did he fail or did you come back? A bit of both, I guess.
Probably the biggest mistake of your life.
I'm already starting to think exactly the same thing.
[sighs.]
Well, thank you.
It means a lot.
[exhales.]
Okay, Wiley and Melissa are gonna stay here with Jason.
The rest of you are with me.
If Adam's right, there's not much time before the soldiers die from the virus.
Before that, we have to prevent them from injecting as many kids as possible.
If we can get to the prison control room, we can lock this place down and end this decontamination process.
If we lock all the doors, they'll focus on trying to get out and stop injecting the kids.
Then we wait for the soldiers to die.
I just wish I knew my way around.
I don't have a map or anything.
I think I can help.
How? I was an inmate.
Okay, Cassidy, you're next.
Come on, kiddo.
Have a seat right there.
How you feeling? I just wish we weren't putting everything on a long shot.
When did you know? One day, I came early to pick you up from your job at the dealership, and I saw the two of you in his office.
You saw? Not enough to know for sure, but I suspected as much.
Why didn't you say anything? We weren't exactly the closest, Wiley.
And when you told Mom and Dad that you were pregnant and keeping the baby, I knew why you'd done it.
- Why? - To hurt them.
You think I did this to hurt them? What other reason could there be? Well, because maybe there was something between us that actually mattered - [door closes.]
- Shh! Someone's coming.
Wiley, we have to hide.
[Gord.]
Okay, everyone.
This is it.
Handcuffs on.
[Gord.]
Let's move it.
Everybody out.
[soldier.]
This group goes to cell block B.
Are you sure you can find the control room? Spent enough time here.
Yeah.
What were you in for? Jaywalking.
[Pat.]
I don't like this at all breaking into a prison.
You got a better idea? No.
I guess we're in this together.
- Who would've guessed? - [Chuck sighs.]
- Yeah, who would've guessed? - [door buzzing.]
- [Gord.]
Okay, let's go.
- [door opening.]
[soldier.]
Hey, hey.
What's going on? [Gord.]
These guys resisted.
They say they don't want to be decontaminated.
[soldier.]
Hard to believe you kids want to stay that badly.
Don't you understand what we're risking for you? [Gord.]
Doesn't make sense to me either.
Move.
[soldier 1.]
Corridor five.
Corridor five.
[soldier 2.]
Copy that.
Move it.
[soldier 1.]
Watch out, they're on the move.
So make a right.
- [soldier 3.]
Let's go, people.
- Keep moving.
- [handcuffs clicking.]
- [Mark.]
We're almost there.
[Adam.]
Where to? [Mark.]
This way.
[soldier 1.]
Hey! What are you guys doing here? [Gord.]
We're taking these kids to be decontaminated.
[soldier 1.]
That's back the way you came from! - [Gord.]
Hey.
- No need for that.
Adam, go.
Get these guys to the control room.
Chuck and I will hold them here.
I'm not leaving you here with him after what happened at the church.
[Pat.]
You'll be more useful to them.
Just go, Ronnie.
[Ronnie.]
Come on.
[soldier.]
You guys are making a mistake.
Shut up.
Why did you do it? [softly.]
Um You know, he listened to me.
It wasn't planned.
It's not like I ever thought of him that way or anything.
Suddenly, we just kind of had a connection.
We both felt really bad about it.
If you would've seen him, then you'd know how sorry he was.
And then I got pregnant.
A guy like Charles Lotts is expected to know better.
You you, I understand.
I'm not a victim, Melissa.
I chose to have this baby.
- [Jason crying.]
- [shushing.]
[softly.]
Shit! What are you two doing? You're supposed to report to the jail for decontamination.
Come on, let's go.
All right, flat on the floor.
Hands behind your back, now.
- Let's go.
- [soldier 1.]
You don't want to do this.
- [soldier 2.]
Stop! Drop your weapon! - [gunshots.]
[soldier 2.]
You guys all right? [soldier 1.]
We're okay.
[soldier 3.]
Go! I think they're headed to the control room.
- [Adam.]
Okay, where to now? - [Mark.]
It's just down here.
[Gord.]
Wait.
Let me check it out first.
- [soldier.]
Stop! Identify yourself! - [Gord.]
Shit! We're screwed.
- Adam, go now.
I'll cover you.
- [soldier.]
Identify yourself! It's down the hall.
Second door on your right.
[Adam.]
You're not coming? If this goes south, I'll need to get them out.
[Gord.]
Go, Adam! You need to lock it down to stop the injections! Run! [panting.]
[man.]
Stop.
You don't know what you're doing.
You're supposed to be dead.
People believe what they want to believe.
Bile isn't so hard to fake.
[scoffs.]
You wouldn't listen.
All you had to All you had to do was leave.
I didn't want you to see any of this.
Why'd you come back? I couldn't go knowing everyone would be killed.
Hmm.
I had to at least try to save 'em.
No, they can't be saved.
It's too late.
- Adam - I can, I can save them Stop.
Adam, stop.
'Cause even if there was a chance that you could save those kids you risk infecting everyone else on Earth.
Look, no prison is 100% secure, and we feel it's only a matter of time before someone escapes.
"We"? What do you mean, "we"? I synthesized the pathogen by splicing a viral genome with my own my DNA.
And that's why you're immune.
Because it's already a part of you.
It's a part of me.
And we're the only two that can leave here without infecting others.
Everyone else here is a carrier.
[Wiley.]
Melissa, we have to do something.
Wiley, how can you even be sure that Adam's right? I trust him.
It makes sense, okay? [sighs.]
Please! Let us go! The decontaminations are gonna kill us! Please, you're sending us to our deaths! Let us go! Wiley, stop it.
You're gonna piss them off.
[soldier 1.]
Just shut up! We're less than a minute from the prison.
- [retching.]
- [soldier 2.]
Craig, what's wrong? Craig! Craig! [crashing.]
You're lying.
Why should I believe you? Nothing you've said is true.
If you and I are the only ones immune, why aren't they dead then? They will be, when they turn 22.
Because it's tapped into their biological clocks.
This doesn't make sense.
Why design a virus like this? What for? The projections on population growth they're terrifying.
And it was in our best interest to look for a solution.
This is about population control.
You know we're past the tipping point in greenhouse gas emissions? Food? Water? How long do you think we have before those resources run out? This is not science fiction, Adam.
This planet cannot be sustained.
The virus was engineered to thin the population.
To cull the weak and the elderly to give the rest of us a chance.
A chance at survival.
But it worked too well.
All it needs is to penetrate one host cell, and it will replicate aggressively.
And you cannot stop it once it's begun.
So this was a test.
What? - This was a test on innocent people.
- No, of course not.
We didn't even try it on mice.
Look there was a scientist, who, uh Art Carey? Yes.
Art and I never did see eye to eye.
And when he went rogue I knew I was in danger, so I disappeared.
I thought that would buy me some protection until I could find him.
I thought that it would save you from getting hurt.
And I was wrong.
Why are you here? I came back to get you out.
To clean up this mess.
To murder everyone.
No, no.
We've gotta stop the virus before it spreads.
And the only way to do that is to kill all the carriers.
You see that, don't you, Adam? That is the humane thing to do.
[panting.]
[gun cocking.]
- Any clue where we are? - No.
- You hear something? - No, you? Let's keep going up, see if we can get to the roof.
Okay.
[door opening.]
[soldier.]
I hear them.
They're down there! Stop! Do not move! Go, go, go, go! [Gord.]
Shit.
I'm out.
Well, what are we gonna do? - We should go back.
- Let's go.
Go! [soldier.]
Hands up! Or I'll shoot! Guns on the ground, now! [soldier.]
Right here.
Have a seat.
[Clarence.]
Adam.
You step away from the controls, I will save you.
[voice breaking.]
I can't let you kill everyone.
[sniffles.]
I can't.
There has to be another way.
I've told you everything, Adam.
You know that there isn't.
- Come on, I'm not - Hey, hey.
Stop.
Stop, or I'll shoot.
I mean it.
No, you won't.
'Cause you understand that I'm right.
That at least you can save yourself.
- At least - Stop, or I'll shoot! Okay, you and I both know that you're not gonna shoot me.
We don't have time for this, Adam.
I'm on your side! [voice breaking.]
I need to stop this.
Trust me! Please! Now, our operatives can't resist the virus much longer, even with the suits.
You have to trust me, Adam.
- Stop.
Stop.
I said stop! - No! Adam! I love you.
And I know you're gonna do the right thing.
- [gunshot.]
- [grunts.]
[exhales.]
I'm sorry.
Like lambs to the slaughter.
[computer beeping.]
[soldier 1.]
Go, go! [soldier 2.]
Stop! We got 'em.
- [Pat.]
I'm out.
- [both panting.]
- We're screwed.
- Seems like it.
Look, it's important for you to know your sister's death was an accident.
Do you believe me? Yeah, I do.
Good.
Stay here.
[Jason crying.]
- [crying continues.]
- [man on radio.]
Attention.
The control room has been compromised.
- Mission has been aborted.
- [Wiley coughing.]
All military personnel must evacuate the prison immediately.
I repeat, evacuate the prison immediately.
Melissa? Melissa, wake up, come on.
No, come on, wake up! [coughing.]
Melissa.
Melissa, come on! [continues coughing.]
[door buzzing.]
[door buzzing.]
- [Ronnie.]
You think it's a trap? - [Gord.]
No.
They're dead from the virus.
I need to find Franny.
It's this way.
What happened? [sighs.]
Your brother saved my life.
Franny! Franny? I was next, Gord.
I was next.
[footsteps approaching.]
Did you see them? Why did they need to kill us? What harm could we have done? You know, we did everything they asked.
They wouldn't have done something like this if they knew they were going to die.
That they were killing kids.
Then why? They were lied to.
Everyone's been lied to.
This isn't over.
They'll be back.
So, what are we supposed to do now? Just wait around to die? No.
Then what? I have a way out.
