Man:
This is what I remember.

People had been
reading signs

into everything
from tea leaves to tutus

as the millennium
approached,

everyone waiting.

Then...nothing.

It came and went.

( monitors beeping )

Still, even after
all these years later,

something ominous
was in the air.

We'd had it too good
for too long.

It was a time
of milk and honey,

hard bodies and hot rods,

chaos and cappuccino.

Some things the private sector
was smart enough to fix,

but new ideas
still stirred old fires

and even older remedies.

We'd saved billions
by privatizing prisons.

Still, our military was
operating on a shoestring.

- Come on! Come on!
- The politicians thought

they could predict
the future.

( dog barking )

( overlapping chatter )

The people were 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 Euro-Asian conflict,
I broke more.

They gave me a medal

and began closing bases.

War was over, obsolete.

I knew better
and told the president so...

publicly.

She was pissed, big time.

I wondered how bad
it would be.

It was bad.

The DOD reassigned me
to close down

what was left
of Fort Edenberg,

a junkyard depot

for every branch
of the military.

They called it
the Boneyard.

I called it
my graveyard.

Everything
that no one wanted

from World War II,
Korea, Vietnam,

and the last five conflicts
was stored there,

now... me.

( helicopter whirring )

Okay, thanks.

Oh, wait a minute.

My camera.

Thanks.

Man:
I thought it couldn't
get any worse,

and then it did.
The Big One,

9.5 on the Richter scale...

400 seconds of hell

that changed the face
of the world forever.

( horns honking )

California separated along
the San Andreas fault.

A new island off the coast
of Arizona was born,

Mojave Island.

Whoa. Oh!

( alarm blaring )

( laughs )

( laughing )

( yells )

Move it! Move!

What's going on?

Just move!
It's gonna blow! Go!

- Go!
- Come on.

Move! Move!
Get out of the way!

( yells )

Man:
The old California's gone.

The old way
of life is gone,

and a new order has begun.

I'm Captain Nick Preston,

U.S. Army.

Marine Sergeant
Lucky Simcoe

and Air Force Captain
Sara McBride

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

Three different branches
of the military,

one mission.

We search for food, fuel,
and fellow survivors.

And this
is our last patrol.

( static crackles )

Preston:
Miriam and Will arrived

on day 20 A.E.--
After Earthquake--

a lucky couple from Pomona

on their way back
from Vegas,

carrying the biggest
jackpot of their lives,

$48,000 in cold hard cash.

Then their luck ran out.

Pope straggled 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 is no Indian.

One thing for sure,

he can't cook.

Daddy! Daddy!

Candy,
Lucky's wildcat wife

and our resident
desert bloom,

a mirage
of mismanaged beauty.

Did you
hear anything?

No, not yet,
sweetheart,

but Captain's
working on it.

Candy kept the 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 our patrol
for now.

What are you afraid of
in the east?

What is out there
that we can't handle?

Or you can't handle?

( static squelches )

Preston:
McBride had a mind
like radar,

and when she
focused it on me,

it opened up doors
I had slammed shut.

( instrumental gospel music
playing )

I can't get her
out of my mind

or my dreams.

Someone I'd known
only for a moment

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

She knew something
was going to happen,

and 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.

( goats bleating )

Yes, there is.

Come on.

( bleating continues )

I got to warn you,
I'm armed.

With love, brother,
only love.

Now is this any way
to greet the man

that does nothing
but bring life

to you
and your encampment?

( man chuckles )

Oh--!

You're the milkman?

Ferguson McGee,

millennium milkman,
straight from the dairy.

Oh, God, finally,
a decent meal.

How did you
get here?

Well, I walked.
I got me a ranch.

Well, had a ranch.

Yeah, who you
been selling to?

McGee:
Few survivors early on.

Have to say I haven't
seen anybody in weeks.

A Marine?

No, mostly commoners
heading north,

and 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, yes.

Black as night,

beautiful as the sun,

a holy woman.

She claims there's
a bridge back home.

Did she have kids
with her?

Kids? No.

No kids, excepting for
my little girls over there.

( laughs )

We'll buy some.

- What you got?
- Cash.

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

Will:
How much?

10,000 U.S. dollars.

That's
highway robbery.

I got a head
for business.

Got anything else,
folks?

- Oh, we have water.
- Baby, just--

- Baby, please, just...
- ( gasps )

You know, we could
overpower you

and take your goats
if we want to.

But you won't,
will you?

- Daddy.
- Well, she might.

Will:
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?

( chuckles )
I told y'all

I had a head
for business.

( laughs )

Come on, little ladies.
Time to go.

Let him go.

Well, shouldn't we
go after him?

He's dead anyway.

And we will be too
without antibiotics.

Those goats
have Q fever.

It's like a flu
from hell, deadly.

Captain. Captain.

Daddy, don't leave me here
with these sick people.

Sweetheart,
we got to find

the antibiotic, okay?
We'll be okay.

I promise. I promise.

Pope,
we're counting on you.

I'm not
saluting you.

And don't follow me
everywhere.

( bell ringing )

My trap.
( gasps )

We're going to have
something different tonight

if I have to barf it up
and call it casserole.

( gasps )
Finally, a decent meal.

About time this
stupid old trap worked.

Man:
Help me.

Good Lord.

Ow.

Well, who are you?

Private Jasper,
U.S. Army.

( sighs )
Great.

I finally catch something
in this stupid trap,

and it's a man,

another hard ankle
in a uniform,

like I need
another one.

I won't hurt you.

I been in the
desert for weeks.

Can smell
that's true.

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

God, you're beautiful.

- ( gunshot )
- ( screams )

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.

McBride:
Here it is.

Hospital marker
right there,

Mercury, California.

Where is it?

Watch for checkered sand,
Lucky.

We'll be swimming
in liquefaction

if you miss it.

Now, what was that--

what was that knot-head
thing, you know?

It was
kind of creepy.

Not as creepy
as the other thing.

Yeah,
what other thing?

All those goats
were exactly the same.

It's okay.

Ah. It's high octane.

What's that?

Seismology maps...

used for identifying
fault lines.

Well, radiator's dry.

What do you think
that's all about?

Someone's thirsty.

( horse neighs )

McBride,
get over here.

Take a look at this.

( faint hoofbeats )

Where is she?

Over there
at the rodeo.

( whinnying )

Whoa, boy. Come on.

All right.

Preston:
Forget it, McBride.

- We can't feed a horse.
- Come on.

Come on, baby.

Oh, yeah.
We could eat him.

- ( whinnies )
- ( yelling )

- Lucky: Jeez, McBride.
- Come on.

Okay, go.

( yells )

She wants that horse.

Uh-huh. You going
to get it for her?

Yeah.

Captain.

- What?
- You know,

I mean,
I seen Roy Rogers

do this
in action movies,

but as far as I know,
he was just acting.

( yelling continues )

Captain! Sir! Nick!

( screams )

Ho!

( coughing )

Nice save, Preston.

Sergeant.

( coughing )

How's that horse?

Horse is doing
just fine, Captain.

Good.

That was some show,
cowgirl.

You didn't quite make
the eight seconds.

Oh, that's very funny.
You should have left me alone.

I almost
had him.

( rumbles )

This ground is unstable.

Come on, let's go.
Hang on.

Hold on.

Come on.

( horse neighs )

Well, looks like
you're going to need

a little makeover
there, McBride.

Well, I'll make sure
to have a word

with Candy when we
get back to camp.

( siren wailing )

Whoa.

( rattles )

P.A.:
Attention, everybody.

I have a gun.

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

Now take off
your clothes.

What?

Don't argue with me!

I have to be sure.

Sure of what?

( regular voice )
That you're normal.

Do it!

I'm not dropping
my pants.

I'm not dropping
my pants!

Man:
Hands over your head!

Now turn around!

All right,
you may dress.

Hey, Officer,
we're military--

Shut up!

( horse nickers )

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 guard the books.

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

I'm so tired.

I haven't slept since--

got to be on guard,

especially now
that they're loose.

What do you mean,
"They're loose"?

That's official
business.

They wanted you to know,
you'd know.

Want a peanut?

Yeah.

Mmm.

( both chuckle )

You got any
medical supplies?

( chuckles )
Excuse me.

Lucky:
All right. Condoms.

Keep that.
You might need it.

Got any--

any antibiotics,
anything like that?

No.

No. N-no. No.

Did you see
anyone else,

a bus?

Oh, a Greyhound.
But not much left of it.

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

That's mine!
That's mine! I found it!

Where's that from?

It's from a whirlybird,
one of yours.

- Where is it?
- I don't know.
It was swallowed up.

Was there a body?
Where is the body?

- No body.
- Hey.

There's never
a body.

Lucky:
Hey, guys. Guys.

I got a camera here.

That's mine.

- That's mine. That's mine.
- Whoa, whoa.

Lucky:
Captain, do you realize
we got a bird's-eye view

of before and after?

Yeah, if you can find
a photo lab.

Lucky:
Well, if you could
find me anything,

find me a taco stand.

Hey, maybe your pilot
didn't need this,

but we sure do.

Antibiotics.

Preston:
Let's go.

Where is he?
We have to know.

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 left their vehicles?

I don't know.

Yeah, it's like
they just disappeared
into 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!

That guy's
a walking aftershock,

a nutcase.

Or he's seen too much.

He's a nutcase.

"Live from Nanwong"!

Today's special guest
is back,

fresh from
a remarkable journey,

so you'll be glad
you tuned in.

And now today's
very special guest,

the new millennium
milkman,

Ferguson McGee!

( cheering )

I am 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 have made contact
with the outside.

Really?
And how did it go?

Not so good.

- Ah.
- Well, you know, it is hard

to keep all
my customers satisfied.

( chuckles )
But two of them

will soon be part

of my regular route,
so to speak.

( laughter )

And there's more.

I found something.

What? Tell us.

McGee:
Well, sir,

I have found
something

that we all have been
praying and searching for.

- Water?
- Water!

- ( cheering )
- Agua! Sí!

Agua!

Water, brothers.
I found water.

( laughs )

Water!

- Water!
- Water!

( horse neighing )

Have I got
a surprise for you.

Where's Will
and Miriam?

Oh, they're better.
Cooky gave 'em something.

They're better.

Old herbal recipe.
Fever's down.

Good. Cooky,
give 'em this.

Half each.
Understand?

Okay.

Meet my surprise.

Private Jasper.

Hey, Daddy, now you have
somebody to boss around.

Jasper, this is
Sergeant Lucky Simcoe,

my husband, soul mate.

Oh, can I keep him,
Daddy?

Who are you?

Private First Class
Richard Jasper, sir,

102nd Infantry,
U.S. Army, sir.

That's not what
your uniform says.

That's a Marine Corps
pilot's uniform

with the insignia
torn off.

Hey, I'm one of you.

What is it
with you people?

This man
saved my life.

We were on maneuvers
when the quake hit,

and... I got separated
from my unit.

My truck crashed
into a crevice.

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

so I figured 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.

Gets cold at night.

I felt sorry
about the pilot,

so I took his name
and insignia off.

What was
the pilot's name?

I don't remember.

Uh...

Michael...

Lieutenant
Michael something. I--

Who cares?
He wasn't there!

Nothing was there!
Just the sand, and--

Just the sand
and sand. Oh, God.

Don't you
understand?

He's been out there
alone for weeks,

and finally
he finds 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 Edenberg.

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?

( horse neighing )

I say...

let's party.

Whoo!

Hey, it's
the Fourth of July.

Wait. 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've
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

and this Jasper?

Today we party,
Captain.

And that's
an order.

How are they doing,
Cooky?

Good, Captain.

They had a fever,

but we got it down
pretty quick.

How you feeling,
Miriam?

She's great,
much better.
Much better.

Will too.

Will?

( snaps )
Will?

What did you give 'em?

Antibiotic.

No, before that.

Peyote.

Take the edge
off the fever.

It worked.

( sighs )

I mean, they are
completely gone,

comatose.

They are 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.

I'd settle
for breathing.

You know me, Captain.

I do the best
with what I have.

Come now.

We best
leave them alone.

Don't want
to scare them.

Now they look at you
and think

you are some
great big flying bat

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 Catskills
back east,

got a break,
headed west,

supposed to open
in Vegas at the Strip.

The Strip?
You mean like...

Caesars Palace?

No, the Strip.

Strip-o-rama.

You know,
the lounge.

Oh.

Imagine me...

naked.

( laughs )

I'd rather not.

( laughs )

So just for the record,

who are you going
to be tomorrow?

It's a new world,
Captain,

wonderful.

I can be
whoever I want.

( water dripping )

( dog barks )

( barks )

You lost, boy?

Yeah, me too.

( barks )

( radio playing music )

Well, I was delivering
supplies to my unit

when we got separated
by the quake.

Supplies?
What kind of supplies?

Well, don't get
your hopes up.

It was a truck
full of toilet paper.

Mmm. This is good.
What is this?

Alpo, little kibble,
spices.

Mmm. Dog food.

Border dogs.

This is the last station
for the border dogs.

I'm glad
you like it.

Cooky's the only
cook in the world

who can make dog food
taste worse.

Ah, with snack,
I'm good.

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

Cooky:
Bon appétit.

Where's McBride's
horse?

You know what? Look,
I know what this is about.

What?

To remain in control.

That's all you hard-asses
care about anyway

is authority,
command, control.

And hard-asses like you,
Captain McBride,

what do you
care about?

Finding my pilot.

Hey, what's up with you
and this pilot?

Since when
do we not go out

and bring back
our own?

Now you may
have forgotten

- everything before the quake...
- What are you talking about?

but I haven't.

What are you
talking about?

Wait. Where did you learn
how to ride like that?

Not in the Army,
that is for sure.

What, were you

You didn't rob her.

The earthquake did.

Oh, no, it started

you know?

Just light out
and try to find a way back.

'Cause I know her.

She just can't hold on
much longer.

So would you?

Probably.

You'd shoot me?

No.

I'd want
to take her home.

Yeah, but you wouldn't.

No.

You know, Lucky,

I don't think
it's there anymore.

What do you mean?

I mean, America's
still got to be there.

Not the America
that we knew.

Well, yeah,
but something,

I mean,
some semblance.

I'm not saying
that she's going to get

to go to the mall
and shop right away,

but, I mean, certainly,
Captain, there's got--

I think it's global.

Something's not right.
Something's shifted.

Shifted?

I mean, now you're
spooking me, Captain.

I mean, the stars
aren't exactly

where they used to be.
It's like...

It's like an axis shift.

Well, so you
don't think

it's just us desert rats
that are affected.

No.

It's the whole world.

Well, I don't think

I got the guts
to tell her that.

Don't. Just...

Just tell her
you love her, and...

tell her to hold on,
keep making things pretty.

You can tell her from me
she's got a great...

voice.

You know,
my worst fear's
just been realized.

I'm a crybaby.

I'm a crybaby Marine.

You're a good soldier,
Lucky,

and I need you.

Well, you can
count on me, Captain.

I mean, you can
be sure of that.

You've got a seven.
You've got a five.

You've got another seven.

You can split it, or you
can take another card.

Do you want to 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 we're moving
through water.

It's not just
some ranch fever,
is it, Captain?

Preston's voice:
No, this wasn't
Q fever.

This was profound change,
not natural,

no more natural
than the goat man

or "monsters
on the loose."

( gasping )

Woman:
It's time to wake up,
darling.

Wake up and look alive.

Come on now.

( gasps )

Drop it.

I need the map,
two days' water and rations.

Request denied.

Preston:
Give me that map.

I'm going back
to Twentynine Palms.

They'll help me find--

Twentynine Palms is
a Marine base, Captain.

You have
no authority there.

McBride, Sara,
Captain, U.S. Air Force,

Sierra Bravo
3-6-2-niner-niner.

Same rank, Captain.

You want to compare
scare badges, McBride?

I've had
my face in the mud
in four continents.

I outrank you,
Captain.

You're not in charge
of me, Captain.

We aren't even
from the same branch.

You're a mud slug.

Air jail.

I am Air Force,

and we don't take
this kind of crap.

Okay, Captain,
I'll tell you what.

I take everything
on the ground.

You're in charge
of everything that flies.

- Deal?
- Very funny, Preston.

We have clear orders.
Dig in, Captain.

No. You dig in.

That's it.

We're creating
a post, Captain,

not searching
for one.

That's an order.

- Stop giving me orders.
- You're not going anywhere.

Get out of my way,
Preston.

Look, you've been
in the desert for too long.

Don't push me.

Oh, what are you gonna do,
Captain? Pull my hair?

Ow!

We may be
the same rank,

but I'm still
in charge.

Why? Because you're
bigger than me?

If that's all
you can respect,

yeah, I'm bigger
than you.

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 your memory?

It's still survival
of the fittest

out here, McBride.

Preston's voice:
Where she was headed,

it might have been
more kind to shoot her.

( neighs )

Jasper:
This is amazing.

You've got
enough ammo here

to supply
an army.

Lucky:
Well, we are
the Army, son.

Yeah, right.

So, what--

what you
looking for?

Developing fluid,

which I'm not
going to find.

Here. Put this
with my pack.

- What the hell is this for?
- Well, if worse comes to worst,

I'll find
some fluid buried

in one of the
hazardous waste dumps.

You know,
I may have to do

a little bit
of mining. Boom!

( both laugh )

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

'Course, I'm hoping
there's some AV gas left

in that jet reserve.

Then I can make
some of my own.

You know where
that is, right?

Chopper?

- Huh?
- Right?

Yeah. Okay.

You--

You got
a lot of these?

We got enough.

Where you guys going?

Home.
We're going home.

This is your home.

You're a good man,
Captain Preston,

better than
most of us deserve,

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

We're going to head
to the Blue Mountains
while we still can.

Maybe there's
a bridge back home.

Maybe we can
be healed.

We don't want
to die here.

You're not
going to die.

Can you
promise us that?

Please let us go
before we die,

or you're going
to have to kill us.

( softly )
Please.

Thank you, Captain,
for everything.

( sobbing )

Thank you.

Come on, honey.

Preston's voice:
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,

but I needed her.

And even though
she didn't know it yet,

she needed me.

Captain Preston told you
to stay with me.

Listen, sweetheart,
I got to try

and scavenge for fuel
and equipment

to process
these pictures, okay?

And then we're
going to know.

Then we'll
know everything.

It's for
your future, baby.

I got to go.

Oh, 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.

It's just
I got to go, babe,

but I'll be back,
okay?

It's for
your future, baby.

Come on, just say it
for me, all right?

Who loves you?
Who loves you?

Daddy loves you.

Come on,
who loves you?

Come on, say it.

You.

( motor rumbles )

The quake opened up
the Colorado.

The Salton Sea
rushed in.

Most likely,
the Grand Canyon's full.

We're cut off
from the mainland

by a new
eastern sea, toxic--

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.

( sobbing )

I'm sorry
about your father.

McBride,

your
relentlessness...

bullheadedness...

single-mindedness...

pain-in-the-assness...

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

And what's
the engine's function?

Survival.

That's not enough.

I got a medal.

I got busted.

Then I got
to the desert.

That's about
as far back

as I can remember.

Things come back
to me,

like riding
the 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,

a church bus
full of kids.

Watch your leg.

( kids chattering )

- ( grunts )
- Whoa.

- One.
- I wish I could do that.

- Go for this one.
- Hey, come on, y'all,

give the man
some room, huh?

- Hey.
- Aw, man.

So you're
a brave woman.

I'd rather
fight a war

than battle
a busload of kids.

( laughs )
Let's just say I was...

compelled.

Yeah. Me too.

Preston's voice:
Her name was Rainbow Jones.

( chuckles )
Rainbow?

Preston's voice:
Most of these kids

had never been out
of the inner city.

After I finished
changing the tire,

we sat down
and had a picnic.

Hey, it's yours.

I wasn't in a hurry.

I'd made up my mind
to quit.

If the army
didn't see my worth,

screw 'em.

Great. Good.

That's when I met Tamara.

She smelled
like bottled sunshine.

Do you save people?

When I can.

Do you kill people?

Preston's voice:
How do you explain
right and wrong

in a black-and-white world
to an eight-year-old?

How do you explain
being a soldier?

See, I protect
the country.

That's my job.

Will you
protect me?

Especially you.

Promise?

Preston's voice:
And I realized
in that moment

what I was fighting for

and that
I couldn't walk away.

- It's for me?
- ♪ Jesus loves

Thanks.

All right,
no crowding.

Be quiet when you
get on the bus.

Hey, soldier,
I need that.

- Bye,
- Rainbow: Stop pushing.

- Bye.
- Bye.

( child laughs )

That's for you.

Thanks.

( laughs )
Careful.

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

- ( laughs )
- You ever feel like...

like you just got to do
that thing inside you?

I mean, even though

you only know
a little of what it is?

I only know
what's in front of me.

A change...

is coming.

Be ready.

I'll be ready.

Do you promise?

Preston's voice:
And the last thing I saw

was Tamara
hanging out the window,

waving, feeling safe

because I made a promise.

Okay.

You bastard.

Just when I had you

written off
as a hard-ass,

you tell me about
a bus full of kids

and their psychic
soul mother.

Why?

Because we're
all they've got.

You're all I've got.

We're it.

And you think
together,

we can
save the world?

Maybe our
little piece of it.

Well, I help you
keep your promise

if you help me
keep mine.

Big Mike,
your pilot?

My brother.

We used to run out
after it happened,

run out, see if they
were still there,

the stars.

I just want to see
beauty again.

Well, all you got to do

is look in the mirror,
baby.

Lights! Lights!

Light-- stop the car.
Stop the car. It's people.

These people
you do not want to meet.

( horn honking )

What are we
running from?

- Jasper: Damn. Damn.
- ( engine knocks )

What aren't you
telling me?

- ( engine bangs )
- ( laughter )

- Man: Oh, yeah.
- No. No, no, no.

Stay in the car,
all right.

- Listen, Candy...
- Man: It's party time!

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry.

Just promise me,
don't move, okay?

Don't leave the car.
Okay?

Baby, it's on!
Yeah!

- Oh, yeah.
- Here we go.

Get the girl.

Where were you going,
Jasper?

Didn't you have
a job to do?

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

Get over here.

Do you know
these people?

Hey. It looks more
like a camping trip

than a supply run.
What happened, Jasper?

You fall in love?

Well, I can see why.

( whimpers )
Oh-hh!

Mamacita.

Hey.

I hope it was
worth it, amigo.

- ( Jasper grunts )
- ( bangs )

McBride.

( birds squawking )

Think we should
take a chance?

Not if it's
like the last time.

Those roadkill sandwiches
of Cooky's,

they nearly put me over.

But if it's
a fresh kill,

we could be
heroes.

( bird squawks )

Candy.

( flies buzzing )

( gasping )

Why the sign?

Nanwong.

The prison?

Yeah.

They survived...

and they're sending us
a big message.

Three soldiers.

( laughs )
Three soldiers.

That is the sum total of
that military installation.

Amigos, you have
nothing to fear.

The earthquake has been
the great equalizer.

( laughs )

Well, maybe we can't
kill them with chemicals,

but we can do it
the old-fashioned way,

because once you
control the water,

you control everything.

I--

Shut up!

Hey!

Hey.

- ( yelling )
- Here we go! Here we...

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

They're fighting over
their own urine.

They're not thirsty
for water, you idiot.

They're thirsty
for this!

Now put it back
on the air.

( all yelling )

Get back! Get back!
Break it up!

I said put me back
on air now.

( prisoners yelling )

Good.

I'm glad
you're happy.

( all yelling )

Jesus:
Amigos, are you with me?

Are you with me?

Good. Good.

It's either
develop the film or...

blow up the compound.

Hey, ain't nobody
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's run off.
That was pretty much

what I expect
from her too.

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

What really ticks me off
is losing that truck.

Hey, I'm going
to kill that Jasper

if he shows his
sorry ass around here.

Jasper's dead.

And we found this.

What did you see?

Lucky:
Severe earthquake damage,
but still functioning.

McBride:
They're organized

just like a military
operation,

and they're armed.

- What's missing?
- Chicks.

No Asian guards.

That's right. The inmates
are running the asylum.

Sergeant, you got
our diversion ready?

( laughs )
I got more than that.

I got enough to blow
every eardrum

from here to
the Blue Mountains.

Give me
till 1500 hours.

If I'm not back
by then...

- ( beeping )
- Now it's armed.

20 seconds.
Then she blows.

I'm going to run
the ambulance

right through
the front gate
into the exercise yard,

make my
special delivery.

It's going
to be simple,

just like delivering
newspapers.

'Course, Pope here's
got me covered

with his
bow and arrow,

so I got nothing
to worry about.

All right,
1500. Clear?

Clear.

McBride, watch my back.

So you going to be
okay with this?

McBride:
Yeah. Yeah.

- Want me to hold this?
- Uh...

You got a problem?

Better tell me now.

( sighs )

( sighs )

I never saw combat.

You flew
the Euro-Asian conflict.

Ash and trash,
the woman thing.

You never engaged?

No, sir.

Great.

Never killed
anybody?

No, sir.

( sighs )
Great.

Ever...

run anything over
in your car?

Yeah, once on a road
outside Palm Springs,

a squirrel.

Good. Same feeling,
horrible,

but you get over it
pretty quick.

These guys
are the rodents.

You're
the 18-wheeler.

Lucky:
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Captain.

And what are you
going to do,

just stroll up
and ring the bell?

- Look at this.
- Huh?

Well...

are you ladies just
going to stand there?

Get over there.

Turn around.

Keep moving.
Let's go.

Get up there.

We've been expecting you.

I got your note.

Captain Nick Preston,
U.S. Army.

This is quite
the operation

you got going
for yourself.

( laughs )

Oh, yes,
Captain Preston.

We do.

We hear you have
an operation of your own.

Sorry. We haven't
been introduced.

Oh.

Simon Peace, geologist.

I'm the one that predicted
the earthquake.

You're probably one
of the ones who laughed.

I knew that there
was one spot

on the western seaboard
that could survive a 9.5,

and we are standing
on it-- the plate.

( laughs )

The Mississippi
is running backwards now.

Tell him about
the mountains,

why they flash.

Electrical discharges,

phenomenon that comes
from shifting plates,

like friction, energy.

You know,
some people claim

that it gives them
a psychic ability.

Others believe that
they're the bridge home.

And nobody really
knows the way,

except your
sleeping pilot.

( laughs )

You have him?

He's our guide, Preston.

When he wakes up
from his coma,

he's going
to lead us out.

With the help
of my friend Simon,

our navigator here.

Does that
make you God?

Yes.

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

Hey, those weren't
our orders, McBride.

He's way outnumbered
in there.

There's no way
that he could contain

all those men.
I'm going in.

The guy knows
what he's doing.

He's a Ranger,
combat infantry, airborne.

Guy's been to hell and back
more than once, believe me.

Not this
kind of hell.

Preston could be
dead right now,

which puts me
in charge.

Now you take
my orders.

What, that's what
you've been angling for

the whole time,
isn't it, McBride, huh?

Be in command?

I'm going to try
and save our commander,

so you just
back off, Sergeant,

and let me do my job.

Hey.

Not like that,
you're not.

All right, send in
Big Sally on schedule

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

That calls
the whole thing off.

- Do you understand?
- Yeah.

All right. Hey!

McBride...

just make sure
you're not the flare.

( kick thumps )

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 woman
from my camp.

( Jesus chuckles )

Oh, Captain,

we don't use water
for drinking.

It's for irrigation.

You grow crops here?

No, no, no, Captain,

our fields of dreams,
so to speak.

Heroin. Why?

Simon:
The genetic warfare
control group,

sometimes
there were mishaps.

These men are
in great pain, Captain,

and that's because of
people like you, ¿comprende?

Now, Captain,

you wouldn't want to see
what they would do to you

if they didn't have
their juice, hmm?

I mean, Jasper was
one of them, eh?

And look how they
dealt with him. Ugh.

This isn't about pain.
It's about control.

( panting )

- ( metal clinks )
- ( gasps )

What is this?

( grunts )

( yells )

Preston:
I don't have time

for the garden
tour, Jehovah.

Where's Candy
and the pilot?

Hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey.

The last man who
talked 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.

But in about
seven minutes,

I will be.

Hmm.
Let's do it five, eh?

Put him
in the hot seat.

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

Bring in our other guest.

( monitor beeping )

( men groaning )

( coughs )

( man coughing )

( coughs )
Please.

Please help me.

Help me.

( coughs )

What's happened here?

( winces )
We--

We are
the accidents,

the reversals.

Everyone
in this building

is in pain.

This is the reason
for the fields.

What fields?

They would
give us medication

from the fields

twice a day.

It would stop
the pain.

Tell me, do you know
about a pilot?

No.

I don't know
about it.

So many people come.

So few survive.

I don't know.

( gasps )
Captain Preston.

- Shut up.
- ( yells )

( laughs )

Amigos, I have
a special treat for you

this afternoon.

First, I'll induct
my new queen,

and then I'll execute
our enemy.

Prisoners:
Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Jesus! Jesus!

Rather arch,
but great television.

- ( monitor beeping )
- ( gasping )

What can I do
to help?

Kill me.

Help me.

The pain.
Please.

Help.

This pain
is inhuman.

Please.

Please.

- Please.
- Please.

- It hurts.
- ( man groaning )

Yes.

It hurts.

Please.

( coughs )
Help me.

Okay, I'll give you

one last chance
to make a deal.

God bless you.

( gasps )

Preston.

( automatic gunfire
rattles )

Let him go.

I said let him go!

Captain, please.

Go ahead. Kill her.

I'll do it.
I'll kill her.

Captain.

It's the pilot I need,
not her.

That way, I get
to kill both of you.

- Hey.
- All right, that's enough.

( groans )

Hey.

They move, shoot 'em.

I'd rather shoot you.

I knew once he started
messing with your hair,

you'd take care
of business.

Going after Big Mike.

Eeny, meeny,
miny, moe.

Hey. Hey, baby.

Hey, great--

Back off, Consuela.

Okay, okay. Okay.
Relax.

Hey.

Hey.

( laughs )

Wake up.
Wake up.

Wake up,
little brother.

Come on, McBride.
Send me a sign.

Man:
You two, check
the main gear shaft.

- ( overlapping chatter )
- ( hissing )

Anybody checking
down below?

- It's so dark.
- Too dark in here.

We need a man outside
covering the door.

( door creaks )

( door creaks )

Check the steam room.

Has anybody checked

the back side
of the building?

I'll do it.

( indistinct chatter )

Who got the steam room?

You two, check around back
of the steam room.

Right.

Make sure
to keep an eye out--

Yeah, yeah.

He's got to be
around here. Look.

I'm over here.
I got it.

Who's got
the stairwells?

That's me.

Nothing
in the stairwells.

Tamara:
No, she's just sleeping.

She wouldn't wake up,
so they came and took us.

Okay, kids. We got
to get out of here.

Okay, hurry up.

Come on. Follow me

Oh, what am I
doing here?

Following orders.

That's right,

Come on.
Follow me!

Come on.

Preston:
I'll get Candy.

Lucky, come on!

Coming.

( children whimpering )

But wait.
It was my best show ever.

Ohh.

( machine gunfire )

Yah!

( Jesus yells )

( pistol fires )

Captain, you okay?

Just get her
on the bus.

- Don't leave him.
- ( rifle fires )

( speaking Spanish )

Go! Go!

Go! Matenlos!

( speaking Spanish )

Where's Preston?

He's been shot.

( bullets clanging )

( children
whimpering )

Hey, God,
this isn't working.

( children crying )

( woman's voice
speaking in tongues )

"Woe to you,
scribes and Pharisees,

for you devour
widows' houses...

with dead men's bones."
You want water?

I've been
to your Blue Mountain,

and I'll give you water!

( thunder crashes )

( Rainbow
speaking tongues )

Rainbow:
God! God!

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

( laughing )

( thunder crashes )

Water!

All glory to God!

Glory to God!
Glory, hallelujah!

( speaking in tongues )

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.

( thunder crashes )

( rifle firing )

Tamara's voice:
Will you protect me?

Yes, baby.

I will.

- ( beeping )
- ( siren blaring )

Rainbow.

( siren blaring )

Oh, God.

Ohh!

Get over here!

( rifle firing )

Is your brother
still sleeping?

Yeah, baby, he is.

Preston was
a good soldier...

( dog panting )

a good friend,
good man.

Go ahead. You go.

Candy:
It's just
so sad.

Look,
even his dog.

It's pitiful.

It's okay, boy.

You touch that dog,
McBride,

and you're
one dead soldier.

- ( laughs )
- ( cheering )

Rainbow:
Miracle! It's a miracle!

- A miracle!
- ( barking )

Candy:
Good!

Captain!

Rainbow:
Thank you, Lord.

Thank you so much.

- ( cheering continues )
- ( squeals )

Easy, Candy.
Easy. Easy.

( overlapping chatter )

Hey, why did you guys
leave without me?

I wasn't hurt that bad.

That was Pope.

Wait a minute.
There was an order.

Yeah, I think Pope said
that there was no sense

in getting
ourselves killed

over some dead meat,
so to speak.

Wait a minute,
Captain Preston.

I just thought
that, well,

we only had a couple
seconds left.

What was I
supposed to do?

You did good,
Private.

Private? Really?

Whoo-hoo!

'Course, I'll be in charge
of training camp

and Hell Week,
so forth.

Preston's voice:
So things aren't

like they used to be
before the Big One,

but we found
a place-- ours.

We made contact
between us.

In the best of times,
it's what we cherish.

- Ain't that right, Preston?
- In the worst,

it's all we hang on to.

Hey, y'all, where's
the kitchen at?

Think it's time to break
a little bread, huh,

give a little
thanks, huh?

- Amen.
- Hallelujah.

- Whoo!
- And she cooks too!

Having only part
of my memory

has actually
helped this process.

I hunt around
in my mind

the same way
Lucky scavenges his yard.

Sometimes it's useful,

sometimes
it's just junk,

but one thing for sure,

I'm going to piece myself

back together again
bit by bit.

I'm going to lead them
out of here.

I have to.

I made a promise.

And a ravaged land
scavenging from the past

to create the future
needs somebody...

just like me.
