Original subtitles

This is what I remembered.

People have been reading science...

into everything from tea leaves to tutus as the millennium approached.

Everyone waiting. Then, nothing.

It came and went.

Still after all these years later,

something ominous was in the air.

We had it too good for too long.

It was a time when milk and honey, hard bodies and hot rods,

chaos and cappuccino.

Some things that private sector was smart enough to fix.

But new ideas still stirred old fires.

And even older remedies...

would save billions by privatizing prisons.

Still, our military was operating on a shoestring.

The politicians thought they could predict the future.

But people was still trying to believe in something.

Even me.

Me, I'm a soldier.

In a world full of rules, I broke them.

They called me renegade.

In the Eurasian conflict that broke more, they gave me a medal.

And began closing bases.

The war was over, obsolete.

I knew better and told the President himself, publicly.

He was pissed, big-time.

I wondered how bad it would be.

That was bad.

The DOD reassigned me to close down what was left of Fort Edinburgh.

The junkyard depot for every branch of the military.

They call it the boneyard, I call it my graveyard.

Everything that no one wanted from World War II,

Korea, Vietnam and the last five conflict was stored there.

Now, me.

Okay.

Thanks.

I thought it couldn't get any worse.

And then it did. The big one.

9.5 on the Richter scale.

Four hundred seconds of hell...

had changed the face of the world forever.

California separated along the San Andreas fault.

A new island off the coast of Arizona was born, Mahoney Island.

Yeah!

-Go back! Move! -Let's move! Get down!

Move! Move! Move! Get out of the way!

The old California is gone.

The old way of life is gone.

And the new order has begun.

I'm Captain Nick Preston, US Army.

Marine Sargent Lucky Simcoe and Air Force Captain Sarah McBride...

are all that's left in control of Fort Edinburgh.

Three different branches of the military one mission.

We search for food, fuel, and fellow survivors.

And this is our last patrol.

Miriam and Will arrived in day 20 AE, after earthquake.

The lucky couple from Pomona are on their way back from Vegas...

carrying the biggest jackpot of their lives,

48,000 dollars in cold hard cash.

And their luck ran out.

Pope struggle in the first week alone.

He was delivering lemons from his tribe's orchard...

when the quake turned over his truck,

and turned back the clock.

Now, those ancient skills may come in handy.

And Cooky. Well, we don't know who he is.

He says he's an Indian doctor who happens to be a gourmet cook.

Pope says he's no Indian. But one thing's for sure,

he can't cook.

Candy. Luckiest wildcat wife and our resident desert bloom...

and mirage of mismanaged beauty.

Did you hear anything?

No, not yet, sweetheart, but Captain's working on it.

Candy kept a child alive in all of us.

The graves of the quake victims reminded us how badly we needed that.

I told you that we need to head east.

East!

Now, look, by my calculations, it's where my pilot might be.

Why do you keep fighting me on this, Preston?

I'm not fighting you, McBride.

I've considered your advice and rejected it.

We fan west.

That's how patrol does.

What are you afraid of in the east?

What is out there that we can't handle?

Or you can't handle?

McBride had a mind like a radar, and when she focus it on me,

it opened up doors that I had slam shut.

I can't get her out of my mind or my dreams.

Someone I've known only for a moment...

means more to me than a family I can't remember.

She knew something was gonna happen,

as she was carrying her brood to the desert.

Did she save them?

Sometimes I think I hear them singing.

Every day I search for them,

praying they're alive.

There is nothing there, Preston.

Yes, there is.

I gotta warn you, I'm armed...

With love, brother. Only love.

Now, is this the way to greet the man who does nothing...

but brings life to you when you're and your encampment.

You're the milkman.

Ferguson McGee, millennium milkman straight from the dairy.

Oh, God. All right. Are these milk?

How did you get here?

Well, I walked.

I got me a ranch, well, I had a ranch.

Yeah, who you been selling to?

Few survivors early on.

In fact, I have to say, I haven't seen anybody in weeks.

No, mostly commoners heading north.

That's where I'm going. Blue mountains, you know.

There's 300 miles of liquefaction between you and the Blue mountains.

You'll never make it.

I met a woman who's been there.

-A woman? -Oh, yeah.

Black as night.

Beautiful as the sun.

Holy woman, she claims.

There's a bridge back home.

Does she have kids with her?

Kids?

No, no kids.

Except my little girls over there.

We will buy some.

-What you got? -Cash.

Good cold cash will do me good on the other side.

How much?

Ten thousand US dollars.

That's highway robbery.

I got a head for business. You got anything else, folks?

-We have water. -Baby, just, baby. Please, no.

Now, we could overpower you and take your goats if we want to.

But you won't, will you?

-Daddy. -Well, she might.

Well, 5,000 and that's it.

Well, all right.

I want the big one. The shampoo bottle.

Don't drink that milk!

Why are you trying to poison my camp?

I told you all I had a head for business.

Come on, little ladies! Time to go!

Let him go.

Shouldn't we go after him?

He's dead anyway.

We will be too without antibiotics.

His goats have Q Fever.

It's like a flu from hell, deadly.

Oh, Captain. Captain.

Daddy! Don't leave me here with these sick people.

Sweetheart, we gotta find the antibiotic, okay. It'll be okay, I promise.

Pope.

We're counting on you.

I'm not saluting you.

Don't follow me everywhere.

My trap!

We'll gonna have something different tonight...

if I have to bone for that in cold casserole.

Finally, decent meal.

Time for the trap to work.

-Help me! -Good Lord.

Well, who are you?

Private Jasper, US Army.

Great! I finally catch something in this stupid trap and it's a man.

Another hard ankle on the uniform, like I need another one.

I won't hurt you. I've been in the desert for weeks.

Well, that's true.

God, I haven't seen another person in...

God, you're beautiful.

What are you doing?

You could kill someone with that thing.

We don't know who that is.

Well, can't you see?

It's a soldier boy.

Mine.

Here it is.

Hospital marker right there. Mercury, California.

-Where is it? -Watch out, Lucky.

We'll be swimming liquefaction if you'll miss it.

Now, what was that, knot head thing, you know?

That was kind of creepy.

Not as creepy as the other thing.

Yeah, what other thing?

All those goats were exactly the same.

The Infinity Broadcast Network in cooperation with our sponsor,

Nanwong Pharmaceutical proudly presents...

Live from Nanwong!

First, I would like to introduce to you, the host of our show.

A man who has left in the face of death.

The one and only Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!

Can you smell it?

Water, huh?

Water!

-Say it again. -Water!

Say it again.

Water, amigos.

Water.

Please hurry up and don't use so much water.

Captain Preston is gonna kill me.

She's breaking all the rules!

Puppy.

Bad dog!

Daddy!

It's okay. I got you.

It's all right, it's all right.

It's all right, it's all right. You're all right, okay.

You're okay?

I don't know how I would thank you.

High-octane. I guess this guy won't miss it, wherever he is.

What's that?

Seismology maps.

Used for identifying fault lines.

The radiator's dry. What do you think that's all about?

Someone's thirsty.

McBride, get over here!

Take a look at this!

Where is she?

There at the rodeo.

Oh, boy, come on.

Forget it, McBride! We can't feed a horse!

Oh, yeah, we could eat him.

-Jesus, McBride! -Come on.

Okay, go!

She walks that horse.

You gonna get it for?

Yeah.

-Captain! -What?

You know, normally I see who do this in action movies, but...

as far as I know, you're not an actor.

Captain, sir! There!

Nice save, Preston.

Sargent?

How's that horse?

Horse is doing just fine, Captain.

Good.

Well, that's some show, cow girl.

You didn't quite make the eight seconds.

Oh, that's very funny. You should've left me alone. I almost had him.

This ground is unstable. Come on, let's go.

Hang on. Hold on.

Come on.

Now, looks like you'll need a little makeover there, McBride.

Well, I'll make sure to have a word with Candy when we get back to camp.

Attention, everybody!

I have a gun.

You people are trespassing and that's against the law.

Now, take off your clothes.

Don't argue with me!

I have to be sure.

Sure of what?

That you're normal.

Do it!

I'm not dropping my pants.

I'm not dropping my pants!

Hands over your head!

Now, turn around!

All right, you may dress.

-Okay, officer. We're military... -Shut up!

I'm the keeper of the peace.

You live here?

I'm protecting the law.

Put the gun down.

No one's here to harm you. We're here to help.

Hey. Then maybe you'll got the books.

If you do that, then I won't write you up.

I'm so tired.

I haven't slept since... Gotta be on guard!

Especially not now that they're loose.

What do you mean "they're loose?"

That's official business.

If they wanted you to know, you'd know.

Want a peanut?

Yeah.

You got any medical supplies?

Excuse me.

All right, condoms.

Keep that. You might need it.

You got any antibiotics? Anything like that?

No.

No. No, no.

Do you see anyone else? A bus?

Oh, greyhound. Not much left of it.

Hey, don't touch that! That's mine.

-That's mine! That's mine! I found it! -Where is it from?

-It's from a whirlybird. What are you...? -Where is it?

-I don't know. It was swallowed up. -Was there a body?

Where is the body?

No body. There's never a body!

Hey, guys, guys.

I got a camera here.

That! That's mine!

That's mine. That's mine.

Captain, do you realize we got a bird's eye view before and after?

Yeah, if you could find a photo lab.

If you could find me anything, find me a taco stand.

Maybe your pilot didn't need this, but we sure do.

Antibiotics.

-Let's go. -Where is he? We have to... Where is he?

We have to find him. Where is he?

-Where is he? -McBride.

Where is your pilot? I don't know.

And the horse's owner? I don't know.

And all those people who have left their vehicles?

I don't know.

Yeah, it's like they just disappeared in thin air.

What do you think, huh? Aliens?

Oh, no. It's much closer to home than that.

The monsters are loose.

The monsters are loose!

The monsters are loose!

The monsters are loose!

The monsters are loose!

The monsters are loose!

The guy's a walking aftershock. A nutcase.

Or he seen too much.

He's a nutcase.

The Infinity Broadcast Network in cooperation with our sponsor,

Nanwong Pharmaceutical proudly presents...

Live from Nanwong!

Jesus' special guest just back fresh from a remarkable journey,

so you'll be glad to tune in.

And now, to this very special guest, the new millennium milkman,

Ferguson McGee!

I'm so happy to be here, Jesus.

So, Ferguson, we hear you have some exciting news?

That's right. That's right.

I'm proud to announce that I had made contact with the outside.

-And how did it go? -Not so good.

Well, you know, it is hard to keep all of my customers satisfied.

But two of them will soon be part of our regular group, so to speak.

And there's more!

I found something.

What? Tell us.

Well, I have found something...

that we all have been praying and searching for.

Water. Water!

Water, brothers! I found water!

Water!

I got a surprise for you.

Where's Will and Miriam?

Oh, they're better. Cooky gave them something. They're better.

Old herbal recipe. Fever's down.

Good. Cooky, give them this. Half each. You understand?

Okay.

Meet my surprise.

Private Jasper.

Hey, daddy, now, you have someone to boss you around.

Jasper, this is Sergeant Lucky Simcoe, my husband, soul mate.

Oh, can I keep him, daddy?

Who are you?

Private first class Jasper, sir. Part of second infantry US Army, sir.

That's not what your uniform says.

That's a marine corps pilot's uniform...

Okay. I'm one of you.

He's with you, people. This man saved my life.

We were on manoeuvre when the quake hit and I got separated from my unit.

And my truck crashed into a crevice.

By the time I got out, my uniform was in rags, so.

I figured out I was a civilian again.

Where did you get that uniform?

I got it about a week ago. I came upon this crashed helicopter.

The uniform was there. I took it.

It gets cold and I...

I felt sorry about the pilot so I took his name and then took off.

What was pilot's name?

I don't remember.

Michael... Lieutenant Michael something.

Who cares? He wasn't there! Nothing was there! Just found it.

Just found it. Just found it.

Don't you understand? He's been there alone for weeks.

And finally found his way here.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Especially you, Lucky Simcoe, you're just acting like a savage.

All right. Come on, soldier boy.

Welcome to Fort Edinburgh. I'll show you around.

I don't trust him. He knows more about Mike.

Hey! I think this calls for a celebration.

What do you say, Captain?

I say...

Let's party.

It's the fourth of July!

Wait, wait, wait. Excuse me, Captain, but what exactly are we celebrating?

-Fourth of July. -It isn't the fourth of July.

It is to Candy.

You know, you never really struck me as the regular party boy.

And don't you think that our supplies could be put to better use...

than indulging Candy in her latest little fantasy in this Jasper?

Today, we party, Captain.

And that's an order.

How are they doing, Cooky?

Good, Captain.

They had the fever but we got it down pretty quick.

-How are you feeling, Miriam? -She's great.

Much better. Much better.

Will?

Will?

-What did you give them? -Antibiotic.

No, before that.

Antibiotic.

To take the edge of the fever.

It worked.

I mean, they are completely gunned.

Comatose.

They look very happy, Captain.

Trust me.

Are they coming back?

Two hours tops, right back to normal.

They are coming back. They will be at your party, Captain.

Singing and dancing.

Why did you settle for breathing?

You know me, Captain, I do the best with what I have.

Go now. You best leave them alone.

You don't want to scare them.

You know, when they look at you...

and think you are some great, big flying bats or something.

So, Cooky,

you're not a doctor.

No.

You're not a cook.

No.

You're not an Indian.

No.

So, what are you?

I'm nothing.

Comedian.

You're not funny.

I didn't say I was good.

I played the... back east, not to brag,

I did west supposed to open in Vegas at the Strip.

The Strip? You mean like...

Caesar's Palace?

No. The Strip.

It's Cheapo-rama.

You know the lounge...

You imagine me naked?

I'd rather not.

So just for the record, who are you gonna be tomorrow?

It's a new world, Captain.

Wonderful.

I can be whatever I want.

You lost, boy?

Yeah, me too.

Well, I was delivering supplies to my unit when we got separated by the quake.

Supplies? What kind of supplies?

Don't get your hopes up, it was a truck full of toilet paper.

This is good. What is this?

(Speaking in foreign language) Spices!

-Dog food. -For the dogs.

This is the last station for the dogs.

Glad you liked it.

Cooky is the only cook in the world that can make dog food taste worse.

I wish that I'm good.

Oh, yeah, it's good. It's different, yeah.

Bon a Petit.

Where's McBride's horse?

Hey, anyone who eats my horse dies.

He, on the other hand, is looking more tasty.

Where's your uniform?

Well, I have that long consultation with Ms. Candy.

-So, you've been drinking, Captain? -Oh, order, sir.

I'm observing the national holiday.

Against who?

Like a freaking ballerina.

Boy, take it easy. I'm a friend.

I'm good with dogs.

So, Captain Preston, I was wondering how are you running your generators?

Gasoline? Diesel?

What kind of chopper was that, cobra?

Yeah, what kind of toilet paper was that? Was that the soft kind?

There you go. See you, guys.

Was it that rough pretty stuff?

Having too much fun, Captain?

Speak for yourself.

You're the one who seems to be having all the fun with your new best buddy.

You know what, look, I know what this is about.

-What? -To remain in control.

That's all you hardasses care about anyway is the authority, command, control.

Then hardasses like you, Captain McBride,

what do you care about?

Finding my pilot.

What's up with you and this pilot?

Since when do we not go out and bring back our own?

And you may have forgotten everything before the quake,

-What are you talking about? -but I haven't.

-What are you talking about? -But wait,

where did you learn how to ride like that?

Not in the army, that's for sure.

Were you some kind of cowboy?

Maybe a polo player?

Maybe a rodeo clown?

I want to know.

What you want to know is none of your business.

Ms. Candy is ready for our show!

It's over.

Oh, baby, you really brought down the house on that one.

Show stopper!

I can't take it anymore!

You take me home! You get me out of here.

I want to go back to Oklahoma. Back there where it was stunning.

-Baby, calm down. -I want my life back!

-I'm going home! -Baby, calm down.

-It's all right, sweetheart. -Let me go!

I will not be going! What are we doing here?

This is not an army installation, this is junk!

She tried so hard, Captain.

I mean, she just tried so hard to hang on little thing.

I feel like I robbed her for life.

No, you didn't rob her, the earthquake did.

Oh, no, it started before that.

I mean, sometimes, I just think...

Sometimes, I feel like I should just take her.

-Take her where? -Home.

I mean, you probably want to shoot me, Captain,

but I gotta tell you sometimes I'm tempted, you know,

just lie down and try to find a way back.

Because I know her she just can't hold on much longer.

So would you?

Probably.

You'd shoot me?

I'd wanna take her home.

Yeah, but you wouldn't.

No.

I don't think there is anymore.

What do you mean?

I'm in America, it still gotta be there.

Not the America that we knew.

Yeah, but something. I mean, some resemblance.

I'm not saying she's gonna get to go to a mall and shop right away,

but I mean, certainly, Captain, there's gotta be.

I think it's global.

Something's not right. Something shifted.

Shifted? Now, you're spooking me, Captain.

I mean, the stars aren't exactly where they used to be.

It's like an axis shift.

Well, so you don't take this as just... affected it.

No.

This is the whole world.

I don't think I got to guts to tell her that.

You don't, just...

Just tell her you love her, and...

Tell her to hold on, keep making things pretty, and...

Or you can tell her for me, she's got a great voice.

You know what's worse? I just realized...

I'm a cry-baby.

I'm a cry-baby marine.

You're a good soldier, Lucky, and I need you.

We kind of we can, I mean, could be sure of that.

You got a seven, you got a five, you got another seven,

you can split it or you can take another card.

Do you wanna split it?

Okay, Miriam.

I want you to show him.

Her heart is racing all the time. I've got it too.

Her muscles are like spasming, almost thickening, it's like...

like removing through water.

It's just some ranch fever, is it, Captain?

No. This wasn't Q Fever.

This was profound change, not natural.

No more natural than a goat man or monsters on the loose.

It's time to wake up, darling.

Wake up and look alive.

-Drop it. -I need the map,

two days' water and rations.

Request denied.

Give me that map.

I'm going back to 29 Palms.

-They'll help me find Mike. -29 Palms is a marine base, Captain.

You have no authority there.

McBride, Sarah, Captain US Air Force Sierra Bravo 3629 and niner,

same rank, Captain.

You want to compare scare badges, McBride?

I have my face in the mud in four counts.

I outranked you, Captain.

You're not in charge of me, Captain.

We are not even from the same branch.

You're a mud slug!

Airedale.

I am Air Force and we don't take this kind of crap.

Okay, Captain, I'm telling you what, I take everything on the ground,

you're in charge of everything that flies. Deal?

Very funny!

Well, clear orders. Dig in, Captain.

No! You dig in!

That's it. Quit quitting your post, Captain, not searching for what.

-That's an order. -Stop giving me order!

You're not going anywhere.

Get out of my way, Preston.

I'm just keeping it for too long.

Don't push me.

Oh, what you're gonna do, Captain? Pull my hair?

Maybe to stay in rank, I'm still in charge.

Why? Because you're bigger than me?

Yeah, if that's all you can respect, yeah, I'm bigger than you.

The truth, you think I don't know, don't you?

That you're losing it!

You really think that you could lead a unit with only half of your memory.

Still survival of the fittest out here, McBride.

Where she was headed,

they might've been more kind to shoot her.

This is amazing.

You're got enough ammo here to supply an army.

Oh, we're the army, son.

Yeah, right.

So what?

What you're looking for?

Developing fluid which I'm not gonna find.

Here. Put this one on my pack.

What the hell is this for?

Well, first comes the worse,

I'll find some fluid buried in one hazard waste dumps.

You know, I may have to do a little bit of mining.

You know, it's messy, but it's effective.

Of course, there may be gas left in that jet reserve,

then I can make some of my own.

You know what that is, right?

Chopper?

Huh, right? Yeah. Okay.

You got a lot of this?

We got enough.

Where are you guys going?

Home. We're going home.

This is your home.

You're a good man, Captain Preston, better than most of us deserved,

but you can't control what's happening to us.

We're gonna head to the Blue mountains while we still can.

Maybe there's a bridge back home.

Maybe we can be healed.

We don't wanna die here.

You're not gonna die.

Can you promise us that?

Please let us go before we die.

You're gonna have to kill us.

Please?

Thank you, Captain, for everything.

Thank you.

Come on, honey.

Many will come, many will go.

I just didn't think I'd lose three in a matter of hours.

The thing about being a leader,

was sometimes you had to swallow your pride.

And McBride was quite a mouthful.

And I needed her...

even though she didn't know it yet, she needed me.

Captain Preston told you to stay with me.

Listen, sweetheart, I gotta try and scavenge some few equipment...

if we wanna process these pictures, okay?

And then we're gonna know, we're gonna know everything.

For our future, baby.

-I got to go. -Lucky, don't go.

Don't, please.

If you go,

I might not be here when you get back.

Come on, baby. You don't mean that.

Look, I should go, baby, but I'll be back, okay?

It's for our future, baby. Come on, just stay here for me, right.

Who loves you? Who loves you?

Daddy loves you. Come on, who loves you?

Come on, say it.

You.

The quake open up the Colorado.

The salt and sea rushed in.

Most likely the Grand Canyon has fall.

We're cut off from the mainland by a new eastern sea.

Shut up!

Lucky and I found this on our first patrol...

when you were recovering from your injuries.

And you didn't tell me? Why? Why?

Because your father was stationed there.

I'm sorry about your father.

God!

McBride, your relentlessness,

full headedness,

single-mindedness,

pain in the asses.

It's a great part of what fuels this engine.

And what's the engine's function?

Survival.

That's not enough.

We got him there,

like that bus did.

Till we get to the desert.

This is by as far back as I can run.

Things come back to me like riding that horse, but...

I know horses, I just don't know why.

My last memory before the quake is stopping to help this...

this broken down bus, church bus, full of kids.

One.

Hey, come on. Get the man some room, huh. Hey!

So you're a brave woman that rather fight the war than battle a bus load of kids.

Let's just say, I was...

compelled.

Yeah, me too.

Her name was Rainbow Jones.

Rainbow?

Also, these kids have never been out of the inner city.

After I finish changing the tyre, we sat down and had a picnic.

I wasn't in a hurry. I made up my mind to stay.

If the army didn't see my worth, screw them.

That's when I met Tamara.

She smelled like a bottle of sunshine.

Do you save people?

When I can.

Do you kill people?

How do you explain right and wrong and a black and white world to a child?

How do you explain being a soldier?

I protect the country.

That's my job.

Will you protect me?

Especially you.

Promise?

And I realize in that moment what I was fighting for,

and that I couldn't walk away.

For me?

Thanks.

Hallelujah!

Black or white, you are precious in His sight.

All right, no crowding. Be quiet when you get on the bus.

Hey, soldier, I need that.

Stop pushing.

It's for you.

Thanks.

Be careful. She'll have your watch before she's through.

Do you ever feel like...

like you just gotta do that thing inside you?

I mean, even though, you don't what it is.

All I know is what's in front of me.

A change...

is coming.

Be ready.

-I'll be ready. -You promise?

And the last thing I saw was Tamara hanging out the window,

waving, feeling safe...

because I made a promise.

You bastard.

Just when I had you written off as a hard ass,

you tell me about a bus load of kids and their psychic soul mother.

Why?

Because we're all they've got.

You're all I've got.

Here we are.

And you think together we can save the world?

Maybe our little...

Well, I hope you keep your promise,

if you help me keep mine.

Big Mike, your pilot?

My brother.

We used to run out after it happens,

run out to see if they were still there.

I just want to see beauty again.

Well, all you got to do is look in the mirror, baby.

Lights! Lights!

Stop the car, stop the car. It's people.

These people you do not want to meet.

What are we running from?

Damn it! Damn it!

Why aren't you telling me?

Stay in the car, all right?

Listen, Candy, I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry. Just promise me don't move, okay. Don't leave the car.

Okay?

Get the girl.

Where are you going, Jasper?

Didn't you have a job to do?

Yeah, I did it. I was coming to you.

Get over here.

You know these people?

Hey!

Looks like more of a camping trip than a supply run. What happened, Jasper?

You fall in love?

I can see why.

-Hey! -I hope it was worth it, amigo.

McBride.

Would you take a chance?

Not like the last time.

That was roadkill sandwiches, they never put me over.

But if it's a fresh kill, we could be heroes.

Candy.

Why the sign?

Nanwong.

The prison?

They survived.

And they're sending us a big message.

Three soldiers. Three soldiers!

That is the sum total of the military installation.

Amigos, you have nothing to fear.

The earthquake has been the great equalizer.

Well, maybe we can kill them with the chemicals,

but we can do it the old-fashioned way...

because once you control the water you control everything.

-I... -Shut up!

I don't know how much longer we can control them.

They're fighting with their own urine.

They're not thirsty for water, you idiot, they're thirsty for this!

Now, put me back on air.

Break it off!

I said put me back on air, and now!

Good.

I'm glad you're happy.

Are you with me?

Are you with me?

Good, good.

So you develop the film or blow up the compound?

Hey, hey, nobody's blowing up anything around here except me.

I feel like God.

Getting ready to see my new world.

Why don't we just look for Candy?

-Lucky, where's Candy? -She has ran off.

That's pretty much what you expect from her too.

That's good riddance, as far as I'm concerned.

I'm telling you what really ticks me off is who's in that truck.

I'm gonna kill that Jasper if he shows his sorry ass around here.

Jasper's dead.

And we found this.

What you see is the earthquake damage still functioning.

They organize like the military operation. They're armed.

-What's missing? -Chicks?

-No waiting guard. -That's right.

The inmates are running the asylum.

Serge, you got our diversion ready?

Oh, I got more than that.

I got enough to blow from here to Blue mountains.

Give me till 1500 hours. If I'm not back by then...

Now, it's armed. Twenty seconds and she blows.

We'll run the ambulance right to the front gate...

into the exercise yard, make my special delivery.

It'll be simple just like delivering newspapers.

Of course, Pope here is gonna cover his bow and arrows,

so you got nothing to worry about, right?

All right, 1500, clear?

Clear.

McBride, watch my back.

-Will you be okay with it? -Yeah.

You got a problem?

Better tell me now.

I never thought of coming back.

It could be your Euro Asian conflict.

Actually, trust the woman think.

Never engaged?

No, sir.

Great.

Never killed anybody?

No, sir.

Great.

Ever run anything over your car?

You know, once on a road outside Palm Springs, a squirrel.

Good.

Same feeling, horrible. Then you get over pretty quick.

These guys are the rebels, and you're the 18-wheeler.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Captain,

and what you're gonna do just stroll up and ring a bell?

Well...

Are you ladies just gonna stand there?

Turn around.

Keep moving. Let's go. Get up there!

We've been expecting you.

I got your note.

Captain Nick Preston, US Army.

It's quite the operation you got going for yourself.

Oh, yes, Captain Preston, we do.

We hear you have an operation of your own.

Sorry, we haven't been introduced.

Simon Peace, geologist.

I'm the one that predicted the earthquake. You are probably one of the ones who left.

I knew that there was one spot on the western seaboard that could survive a 9.5.

And we are standing on it, the plates.

The Mississippi is running backwards.

Tell him about the mountains, why they flash.

Electrical discharges, phenomenon.

It comes from shifting plates like friction, energy.

You know, some people claim that it gives them psychic ability,

others believe that they're the bridge home.

And nobody really knows the way except the sleeping pilot.

You have him?

He's our guide, Preston.

When he wakes up from his coma, he's gonna lead us out.

With the help of my friend, Simon, no one ever gave a year.

Does that make you a God?

All right, that's it, I'm going in.

Hey, don't blow your horns, McBride.

He's way outnumbered in there.

There's no way that he can contain all those men. I'm going in.

The guy knows what he's doing.

He's a ranger, a combat infantry airborne.

The guy's been in hell more than once believe me.

Not this kind of hell. Preston will be dead right now.

It puts me in charge. Now, you take my orders.

That's what you've been arguing for the whole time, isn't it, McBride, huh?

-Being in command? -I'm going to try and save our commander.

So you just back off, sergeant, and let me do my job.

I like that you're not.

All right. Send in big sally on schedule,

unless you got a sign from me, a signal flare.

That calls the whole thing off, you understand?

Yeah.

Hey, McBride.

Just make sure you're not the flare.

So let's make a deal.

You have something I want, I have something you want.

-And what would that be? -Drinking water.

In exchange for the pilot, Mike McBride and Candy, the one from my camp.

Sorry, Captain, we don't use water for drinking.

It's for irrigation.

-Grow crops here? -No, no, no.

Captain, fields of dreams, so to speak.

Heroine. Why?

The genetic warfare control group sometimes there were mishaps.

These men are in great pain, Captain, and that's because of people like you.

You don't wanna see what they would do to you...

if they didn't have their juice.

I mean, Jasper was one of them, huh.

And look how they dealt with him.

This isn't about pain, it's about control.

I don't have time for the guardian tour, Jehovah, where is Candy and the pilot?

Hey, hey, hey.

The last man who talk to me like that was the warden of this facility,

and he's buried in my garden.

Rules have changed, Captain.

You're not in charge anymore in here.

Well, in about seven minutes, I will be.

Let's do it five. Put him on the hot seat.

Well, this could be our best show ever. Simon!

Bring in our other guest.

Help me.

Help me.

What's happened here?

We were in accident.

Reversal.

And this building is in pain.

That's the reason for the fields.

What fields?

They would give us medication from the fields.

Twice a day.

To stop the pain.

Tell me, do you know about a pilot?

I don't know.

So many people come, so few survived.

I don't know.

-Captain Preston! -Shut up.

Amigos.

I have a special treat for you this afternoon.

First, I'll induct my new queen, and then...

I'll execute our enemy.

Jesus! Jesus!

Brother, that's a great television.

What can I do to help?

Kill me.

Please.

This pain is... Please.

Please.

Help me.

Okay.

I'll give you one last chance to make a deal.

(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

Let him go! I said let him go!

Captain, please.

Go ahead and kill her.

-I'll do it, I'll kill her. -Captain?

The pilot, I need, not her.

That way I got to kill the both of you.

All right, that's enough.

If they move, shoot them.

Or I'll shoot you.

I knew once I started messing with your hair,

you'll take care of business.

Going after big Mike.

Hey. Hey, baby.

-Hey, quick. -Back off, Consuela.

Okay, okay. Okay, relax.

Hey.

Wake up. Wake up.

Wake up, little brother.

Come on, McBride, send me a sign.

You two! Check the main gear shaft.

We already checked the back side of the building.

Everybody okay?

-Yeah. -Captain!

Tamara. Where is Tamara?

You took too long.

I know. I'm sorry.

Where's Ms. Jones?

-She's dead. -She's not.

-She is. -No, she's just sleeping.

I just want to wake up, but they came and took us.

Okay, kids, we gotta get out of here.

Okay, hurry up. Come on. Follow me. Quickly. Come on.

-No. What am I doing here? -Following orders.

That's right. Let's send in big Sally.

We gotta do it.

Shut up. Keep looking.

My wife could be in there.

-I'll do it. -Wait a minute.

Better be careful. You boys could spoil my mood.

Bamonos!

Dear God, please help the Captain help us...

because you promised he would come...

and for him not to save his doubt wouldn't be right.

Rainbow said we could count on you. Amen.

Earthquake!

Look! It worked!

Look!

Let's go!

Let's go! Let's go!

Come on!

-Okay, Candy. -Lucky! Come on!

Coming.

Hey, it was my best show ever.

-Captain, you're okay? -Just get her on the bus.

Don't leave him.

(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE) Go!

Go! Go! (SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

(SPEAKING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

-Where's Preston? -He's been shot.

Hey God, this isn't working.

You scrubs and...

will you devour those houses with dead man's bones.

Do you want water? I've been to your Blue mountains.

And I'll give you water!

-Go! -No! I'm not leaving him.

-That's an order. -That's an order.

Just let him have it, McBride. Okay?

It's something to die for.

Will you protect me?

Yes, baby. I will.

Rainbow!

Is your brother still sleeping?

Yeah, baby, he is.

Preston was a good soldier.

A good friend.

A good man.

Is this the end? It's painful.

It's okay, boy.

You... McBride!

Your one dead soldier.

Captain!

Easy, Candy. Easy, easy.

Hey, why'd you guys leave without me? I wasn't hurt that bad.

Oh, is that Pope?

Wait a minute, that's an order.

Yeah, I think Pope said that there's no sense in getting ourselves killed...

over some dead meat, so to speak.

Wait a minute, Captain Preston, I just thought that well...

We had a couple seconds left. What was I supposed to do?

You did good, Private.

Private? Really?

Of course I'll be in charge of training camp in weeks and so forth.

So things aren't like these to be before the big one.

But we found a place, ours. We made contact between us.

In the best of times, this is what we cherish.

In the worst, it's all we hang on to.

Hey, where's your kitchen at?

Give little back? Hallelujah!

And she cooks too!

I got only a part of my memory has actually helped us process.

I hunt around in my mind the same way Lucky scavenges his yard.

Sometimes it's useful, sometimes it's just junk.

I'm going to piece myself back together again bit by bit.

When I lead them out of here, I have to.

I made a promise.

And the ravaged lands scavenging from the past to create a future,

need somebody...

just like me.
