This is a reminder
from the district.

[suspenseful instrumental]

[narrator] It was
a government program.

[PA voice] If you know of
any unregistered citizen

with AB positive blood,
selling unregistered blood

is illegal
and punishable by death.

[narrator] All in the name of
population management.

The government poisoned
every man, woman and child.

Genetically engineered
to only spare those with

the rarest blood type,
AB positive.

And now the few chosen ones
must share this wretched new world

with the last of
these hemocide survivors,

who only can survive
as long as they receive

regular infusions
of AB positive blood.

Government rations.

[PA voice] We are now accepting
all individuals who hold a red

or green blood ration card.

You must have a card in order
for you to participate in

the government's blood
ration program.

If you or anyone
you know is buying blood

on the underground market,
please report them immediately.

Purchasing blood outside
the government system

is not only harmful,
but illegal,

and may result in being
put to death if apprehended.

Remember,
this program is only for

those who survived
the recent governmental purge.

[reporter on radio]
According to our sources,

it's only a matter of time
before things get

completely out of control.

A government spokesperson
told us that there's

nothing to worry about,
that everyone should relax,

- and have an optimistic...

district warden also spent

two days taking the law
into his own hands,

Apart from what
the government has set aside...

More than likely
the disease is spreading.

Once it gets to the eyes,
it's in the brain.

Is there anything
you can do for him?

[regretful scoff] I--

I'm running on fumes as it is.

A couple of boxes of stolen
medical supplies only go so far.

Whatever you need,
just let me know.

I'll-- I'll send my men
to go scavenge for it.

AB positive.

If you had brought me
double the blood,

I could bring you
double the gold.

Look, Charlie,
you gotta earn it.

If that granddaughter
of yours turns of age,

then we could talk about
more additional gold.

Anybody lay a hand on her

and I'll blow their brains out!

You hear me?

Charlie, Charlie,
Charlie, Charlie...

You'll never change, will you?

Except the fact government
had gone made us all puppets.

Feel them tugging on

Herbs and mushrooms

The underground blood auction
is going to be

the last chance any of us
get to survive.

Do you think I haven't
thought of that?

Do you know what
the government would do to me

if they found out that I am
buying off of the black market?

I'd lose my-- my title,
my rations, everything!

You just might lose
a lot more if you don't.

Look, even if
I could afford to bid,

they're just selling
marked up mini infusions.

It's not enough to save him.

I need to cut out
the middle men, find the source.

What kind of, uh,
source would that be?

An unregistered
AB positive survivor.

Look, I want to help your boy.
I really do.

But it can't be good

when our customers
are dropping off like flies.

[Roberto] True, eventually,
we're going to need

some fresh inventory to keep
this operation afloat.

And a lot of it.

From what Jade tells me,

the old coot is getting
long in the tooth.

Perhaps his veins are drying up.

We're going to need to start
looking for fresh donors.

What do we have here?

How did he get in?

We need this place secure
or they'll all want in.

Handle it.

I'm gonna stop by Jade's
to pick up tonight's deposit.

Hey, man, you're trespassing
on private property.

[suspenseful music plays]

I-- I just need my blood ration.

We don't do the rations.

Come on, man, give it to me.

[grunting]

This is your last chance.
Walk out or get carried out.

I'm not leaving here without it.

[grunting]

[grunts of pain]

The blood's not ready yet.

Cutting it a little close,
aren't we?

Don't you think I know that,
Roberto?

He was late.

Again.

Then don't waste
your time talking to me.

Finish up your little ritual.

[chuckles]

Do you worship God or the devil?

Nature is my religion.

Well, I suppose we all
gotta worship something.

Drop it off as soon
as you're finished.

[motor rumbles]

[tense music plays]

Good evening, Jade.

Let's make this somewhat easy
on all of us.

I will ask you a question,

and you will tell me exactly
what it is I need to hear.

[grunts]

[coughing]

Who is the source,
and where do I find him?

Charlie.

His name is Charlie.

- That's all I know, I swear.
- Was he here recently?

Yes. [sobbing]

Please, will you let me go now?

I told you everything.

I suppose
the auctioneer knows him.

Yes, I'm sure they do.

Go see them.
There's an auction tonight.

- It's at the--
- We know the location.

Do you have any blood inside?

Uncut.

Take it.

Take it all.
Just go.

I'm curious.

Do you use what you sell, Jade?

Are you...

Double dipping?

Just what I need to survive.

[sobbing]

Finish her off.

Jade seemed overly concerned.

Does it buy him some time?

A few days.

Maybe more.

[suspenseful music plays]

[Charlie] I told you,
don't leave the park.

Do not leave the park!

Why didn't you listen to me?

Look at yourself, man!

[echoing laughter]

Take my blood.
Get me out of here.

[laughing hysterically]

I'm tired, Grandpa, I'm tired!

[Jade] Feel it tugging
on your strings, Charlie?

Oh, no, no, no, no.

This is not the way it goes.

No, no.
Somebody, stop this.

He doesn't die.

Stop this.
Somebody stop this!

For God's sake!

[Maya] I've been saying
for you to stop this!

Don't take her blood.
Take my blood.

[townspeople whispering]

[gunshot booms]

We thank you for your patience.

Unfortunately, we were expecting
a few extra vials to arrive,

but there seems to be
a distribution issue.

And it appears we've come up
short for tonight.

As they say,
the show must go on.

Isn't that right, warden?

I trust you're not here
to arrest us, sir.

We run a free
enterprise system,

meaning no harm to anyone.

Only a little hope,
if you're lucky.

I'm here for personal reasons.

Well, good luck to you, sir.

Let the bidding begin.

Our first bag on the block.

About the size of two
government rations.

Good for one person to get
an extra health boost.

Do I hear two bags of gold?

- Two bags.
- Very good.

Who will go to three bags?

- Three bags.
- Bags. Thank you.

Who will go to four?

- Four bags.
- Four bags.

Thank you very much.
Who will give me five bags?

- Five bags.
- Thank you, sir.

[Onslow]
How much will this get me?

That's Jade's lockbox.

How did you get it?

Jade has donated to
a good cause.

[box rattles]

Don't worry.

You get to keep the gold.

If you tell me
what I want to know.

Where...

is...

the source?

If I knew that, do you think
I'd be auctioning vials?

I'd be selling pints.

I'll just find someone
who does know.

No, no, hang on.

Supposedly, he does
a drop-off twice a week.

And Jade does her magic.

And two pints make four.
Four pints make eight.

I suppose it's
the American system

of checks and balances.

[townspeople laugh]

You know I can shut this
whole place down if I want to.

Can't have any illegal activity

in my district.

Then there'd be a trial.

My trial.

A warden's day in court...

if you get my drift.

Whatever it takes,
you bring him to me.

No, I'm mostly self taught.

You can learn to be good at

Uh, I guess
I'm still looking, then.

[Charlie] It will come.

One day, you'll just wake up,
and realize what you're good at.

That, in turn,
will often be your purpose.

Just-- Yeah, okay.

I guess my purpose
is pissing people off.

You're not that bad.

[laughs] Okay.

Yeah, uh, tell that to Mom.

When you weren't grounded
for getting into mischief.

Fights, you mean.

Those boys
in your neighborhood

didn't get anything
they didn't deserve.

I-- I didn't really care,
anyways.

I mean, being grounded
was hardly torture.

It was just watching a bunch
of your old movies.

- Really?
- [Maya] Yeah.

Truth be told, Maya,
my films were all flops.

I eventually became a street
performer just to survive.

Then I came here.

No.

His name is Charlie.

You know him?

And you kept this from me?

My son is dying

Look, come off your high horse.

I've no more respect for you

Who is he?

For my son...

For his future, please.

Tell me where I can find him.

On one condition.

You don't hurt him.

Hurt him?

He's my last hope.

The thing with Charlie
is he needs help.

What kind of help?

He's almost 80,
and he's not well,

and he really needs to be
in an institution,

not out there in the wilderness,
indulging in his--

in his foolish fantasies.

Okay, I am totally confused.

He was doing one of
his performances

over in
the old amusement park...

and it got out of hand.

People were scared.

I was scared.

The judge ordered

a psychiatric evaluation
after he got arrested,

and eventually they let him go.

Oh, to be placed under my care.

One day I woke...

and he was missing.

I knew.

He went to the one place
where he could find hope.

His home away from home.

The stage.

The old theme park
just outside of town.

He's been there ever since.

What do you mean,
he's been there?

It's been shut down for years.

To the public, yes...

but not to Charlie.

In his mind, it's still open.

In his mind,
he's still performing.

We need to bring him back
before the scalpers find him.

Then I'll send my men
to get him.

Charlie is not in control
of his own person.

He is a danger to himself
and to everyone around him.

Then go with them.

He doesn't listen to me.
He never has.

Maybe seeing
a familiar face will help.

- Please.

Is there any relative that
he would listen to?

Our granddaughter...

Oh, my God, Charlie.

Let me take you back to town.

Is that what those men with guns
are trying to do? Help me?

[coughing, choking]

Charlie, when did you decide
to give up on reality?

[Charlie] Reality?

Is the population purge
not real?

Or will you only care
when they come for you?

No, when did you decide
to give up on me?

You and I were
a great team, Charlie.

Yeah, we were.

But now you're
on the Warden's team, I see.

He has a son who's dying.

We're all dying, Naomi.

Now, if you will excuse me,

I have some visitors
to entertain.

You have got to stop this.

This is reality.

These men are evil.

They're trying to kill me.

And you led them to me!

Listen to me.
Listen to me, Charlie.

I thought they were here
to help you.

I was wrong.

They went rogue.

But the warden, he promised me
that he wouldn't harm you.

First rule of thumb, Naomi.

We don't put trust in
the government, only ourselves.

You remember that time we walked

We found that little joint,
had a band playing?

Yeah, I remember.

What was the name

Sam's?

Something like that.

Yeah, Sam's Hideaway.

Yeah.

Yeah, Sam's.

If a member
of your family is being purged,

we ask that you remain in

our bereavement room
until called.

The governmental purge
is painless.

And the entire process...

And it's my birthday.

Happy birthday.

Time to go, Charlie.

[PA voice] May I have
your attention, please?

If a member of your family
is being purged,

we ask that you remain

in our bereavement room
until called.

The governmental purge
is painless,

and the entire process
will only last a few minutes.

If you have any questions,

please ask
your local district warden.

[music continues]

[PA voice]
Good afternoon, Charlie.

Let me be the first to
thank you for your patriotism

and your role as an outstanding
citizen to the system.

Charlie, let me explain
what's going to happen

during your purge experience.

We're going to give you
a drug that will slowly

decrease your heartrate
until it eventually stops.

You will feel no pain.

It's simply like falling
asleep.

Time until death will be
approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

We hope you have chosen
someone special

to be with you
at your departure.

If you have loved ones
waiting in our bereavement room,

you can request
visitation at this time.

Damn you and your government
[indistinct]!

...Comply with all laws
governed by this democracy

into the ones that have
been set forth for the purging

of all citizens who have
made it to 80 years of age.

To each and everyone
who passes, you...

And your government burn in hell
for what you're doing.

You're [indistinct]
to exterminate us!

Who made you God?

...Of the expense of keeping
its elderly citizens alive.

Let the procedure begin.

Can you get these straps off me?

Send my friend in.

[shakily] Are you afraid?

Not anymore.

[Charlie] Read this with me.

- What's this?
- Just the last scene.

[Charlie] Please?

Charlie,
we don't have much time.

Please. Please.

[Naomi] Oh, my God, Charlie.

Oh, my God, Charlie!

Charlie, wake up.

Please, wake up.

- You got shot.
- [Charlie groaning]

You gotta help me, honey.

I have to get ready
for the show.

I never wanted this to happen.
[sobbing]

Please, just...

Just open your eyes, just...

This can't be the end.
It can't be.

[sobbing]

I'm so sorry.

Sorry that I drove you away
when I needed you most.

I'm sorry
I wasn't there for you...

when you needed me most.

And most of all,
I'm sorry I'm leaving you now.

[Naomi] Oh, Charlie.

I don't know
what the future holds for you

or everybody else...

but don't give up.

Never give up hope.

I'm not giving up
on you, Charlie.

- [breathing heavily]
- Just...

You need to understand,

I created
this character of Charlie

because the world didn't
feel safe or normal anymore.

And I surrounded
myself with people...

who would make my life complete.

- Oh...
- [Naomi] That's it.

Keep talking.
Stay with me, Charlie.

Our granddaughter, Maya,

she was terrified of
the craziness at the park.

And yet I tried to protect her
from the real horrors,

the horrors of reality
that are so much worse.

Yet, she showed me.

When she finally
faced the outside world,

she showed me she's

way tougher and braver
than ever I could have imagined.

Onslow...

the warden.

Every story needs its nemesis.

And he became mine.

My judge.
My executioner.

Naomi...

you're the love of my life.

My leading lady,

here at the end,
for my big goodbye.

[Naomi] Don't say that, Charlie.

This isn't goodbye.

Not yet.

My blood might
not be perfect like yours,

but it'll buy us
some more time together.

The record.

Would you mind...
playing the record?

Yeah.
Hold on.

Don't cry, my sweetheart.

Don't cry.

This isn't real.

The only thing that's real...

is love.
