Okay, are we recording?

Are we? Are we recording?

Okay.

Lawton County has been known for its simple rural life and its wide open

spaces. But today, Lawton County is at the center of a massive federal

government action to isolate the entire valley and its 6

,117 residents.

This is...

Terry Dillon, and I'm here at this trailhead that is six miles from Lawton

County line.

Now, I'm here because the roads to Lawton County and all of the airspace

above it has been closed by the Army. It has been 48 hours since there has been

any contact with any Lawton County residents.

So now, it's a complete blackout of news by...

the president and the NSA, I've decided that I am going to hike into Lawton

County using this back road.

Now, Lawton County is just over the hill, just beyond there.

Camera on and recording.

Present location?

Just entering the parkland.

Keep me updated.

Copy that.

Shit.

Hey there, buddy. How you doing? You got a problem? Yeah, right. I got a problem.

Everything's, the cell phone's out. Everything's out. I understand, but I'm

on a call right now. I can't help you. I can send a tow truck for you.

Great. God, I thought I was going to be here all night.

I would have to say you're about the luckiest guy in town right now.

Yeah, right.

Well, Jesus.

What are you doing out here in the middle of the night? I thought it was a

shortcut on my way to work. Shortcut? No, it's a goddamn dead end.

Yeah, now I find out. All right.

How about half an hour?

Oh, that's great. Thanks a lot, officer.

All right, watch yourself.

Okay, have a good night.

Thank you.

I'm going to test this picture-in-picture feature.

Listen, there's a motorist in need of a tow about a mile past the parkland

entrance. Okay, I'll have Mac get his rig out there.

Hey, Del, I can see your video feed.

This new dash cam is great.

Rick?

Go for Bardo.

You see anything out of the ordinary?

Nothing. It's quiet out here.

Quiet, huh?

Yeah. Why?

We seem to be getting a lot of calls.

There's something going on at the lake.

I'm going to try to get a highway patrol out there to take a look.

Good luck on that.

You know, it really should be the park rangers checking this one out.

It's their park land.

Christ, I guess Chief Watkins picked the right way to take his vacation.

Well, I could run over there after this call if they can't cover it.

Hold on.

Now, that's weird.

My cell phone just went dead and the landline's not working either.

Must be some kind of interference.

Great.

Keep me updated.

Copy that.

Is your dash cam working okay?

Yeah, the evidence reporting's fine, but the picture in picture isn't right.

It's dying.

You know, I'll have the tech guy take a look at it when I get back.

How's Norm doing over at the prom?

Not happy about babysitting a bunch of high school kids.

But it's over now, right?

Officially, but he's been out chasing drinkers.

Well, at least it's quiet out here.

Hopefully everything's okay with Jenkins.

Now, what was his story that a meteorite almost hit his truck?

That's right.

He thought there was something moving.

Was he drunk?

No, he was scared.

It's been a very weird night.

Some doctor from Edwards left me a voicemail while I was out having dinner.

He said he was investigating a meteorite that hit outside Dukes.

Del, I lost the picture in picture completely.

Snoop, yours too, buddy.

Looks like we've got some after-prom action here at Lover's Lane.

I'll rouse these kids on my way back.

Listen, Jenkins' wife just came by. Yeah?

She kept saying that Jenkins' cell went dead and she knows it wasn't the

battery. He never called back. He was telling her about the meteorite.

Yeah?

That something was moving inside of it. And then he screamed like something

attacked him. No, you're kidding.

Nope.

She sounded really scared.

What, are you expecting trouble on this call?

Uh, no, just kind of a strange night with that doctor's voicemail and all

this.

Okay. I should be there in a few minutes. It's at the old fire room,

right? Right.

Whatever you find, don't touch it. Just get Jenkins back to town. We'll have the

doctor from Edwards deal with it.

Did she mention what Jenkins was doing out there in the middle of the night?

Night fishing.

Something he does.

You watch yourself, Brick. Okay.

Yeah, I'll check back when I spot his truck.

Copy.

I see it. I see it.

Whoa.

I just saw a meteor.

Ooh, there's another one to the south.

Yeah. It's weird.

Yeah, they must be falling all over the valley.

Yeah, I see Jenkins' truck.

No Jenkins.

No, still no Jenkins.

He's probably passed out.

Yeah.

All right, Dell, I'm going to get out and have a look around.

Watch yourself, Rick.

Out.

All right, Jenkins, what are you doing? You fucking with me?

You're fucking with me, aren't you, Jenkins?

All right, Jenkins, come on out of there. You taking a leak or what?

You fucking with me, Jenkins?

Come on out, Jenkins. Where are you?

Don't fuck with me, man.

All right, play it that way.

What the hell is this?

Oh, Jesus Christ!

God damn it, your butt scared the shit out of me.

Like I didn't blow your head off.

What is this thing?

That's pretty amazing you're gonna be you're gonna be on the evening news man,

you're gonna be a celebrity Looks like a grapefruit or something And

what's that stuff what is that is that skin

or something

Hey, Brick?

Brick, you there?

Did you find Jenkins?

Brick?

Brick, copy.

Over.

Found Jenkins.

Everything's okay.

Wasn't a meteor.

Wasn't shit.

Hey, watch the language.

Transmission to monitor.

I'm glad it was nothing. The thing had me a little spooked.

Is Jenkins calling his wife?

No, he said he's headed into town.

Okay, I'll let her know.

Sound a little, uh, you okay?

Yes, I am.

Those kids at Lover's Lane, give them a scare.

Oh, I intend to.

Okay, I'll see you when you get back.

Yeah.

What's this good?

We'll be right back.

Sir, if we don't look, I guess there's no need to look. I'm not going to be

able to see.

Hey there, officer.

How we doing tonight?

Oh, what's this?

Is there a problem here?

Looks like we got some after products.

We're all done here.

You know what I mean?

What are you doing?

So, uh, I'll tell my dad, Mayor Boswell, that you cops are doing a real bang-up

job out here, all right? What do you think about that?

Timmy!

Oh, please don't hurry.

Oh, no.

Oh, God.

Timmy.

What did you do to him?

You killed him.

Timmy! What happened?

Timmy? Are you okay?

Timmy, answer me.

Timmy, why are you doing this?

Timmy, please. Oh, God, Timmy.

I'm not even sure what I saw.

The cop attacked Timmy, and he put something in his ear.

Come on. Is this some kind of prank?

Did Brick put you up to this?

Brick? Please, listen to me. The cop attacked Timmy Boswell. Uh-huh.

Right. Look. No, no. You look.

I don't know what kind of sorority stunt you're playing, but I got enough...

trouble to worry about without you stealing a police car for a joke.

Cooper I want you to sit tight I want to check out a few details please don't

leave me look I want you to wait there is that understood can you call my dad

yes yes I will please miss Cooper

all right

I can't get out of here.

Deputy, deputy, there are meteors falling everywhere.

Hello? Yeah, it's been going on all night.

I couldn't reach your father, Ms. Cooper. The phones are still down. But I

did see some of your classmates over at the diner. They last saw Timmy having an

argument with you at the prom. It was a misunderstanding.

It wasn't an argument. That's why we left the prom and came up here to smooth

things over.

They said you were asked to leave the prom around 11. What are you getting at?

I'm afraid you need to remain where you are until I can get a unit up there.

You're not listening to me. I am listening, but it sounds like you've

been drinking.

Or worse.

I don't think your dad's going to be very pleased, Ms. Cooper.

Look, why would I be in the cop's car talking to you if I wasn't telling you

the truth? I suggest you wait for a unit to get there.

God.

You don't believe me.

I believe you've stolen Bardo's vehicle and you're most likely under the

influence. You shithead. Pull over, Miss Cooper. Fuck you.

The Lord is my shepherd.

I shall not want.

You're making me lie down in green pastures.

You leave it to the side that still waters your source.

He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for me.

I will fear no man, for thou art me.

My thy rod, thy staff, they comfort me.

They prepare the table before me in the presence of my enemies.

Okay, I gotta give up.

I gotta give up.

Oh, God.

Can you do that?

Yes. All right. Get out of the parkland now.

You might run into a tow truck on your way back to town. Make sure Mac turns

around and doesn't go into the park.

Okay. I'm at the park exit.

Good.

Are you out of the park?

No.

I'm still in the park.

The exit's blocked.

Damn. Oh, please.

Please.

Please help me.

Miss Cooper, I'm trying to get help.

Please.

I'm all alone.

Far away from Timmy as you can get.

You're going to be all right, Miss Cooper. I'll come out there myself to

get you.

Hurry, hurry, please, please.

Let me try to reach the deputy.

Is there another way out?

Another way?

I'll check the maps.

I'm sorry I haven't been able to reach the deputy.

Where's that map?

I don't know.

Hold on, Mr. Cooper. I've got to take a call on the other radio.

What police? Deputy Ben speaking.

Oh, doctor.

What? I

got

your voicemail earlier, but we weren't able to call you back because our

landline was self-service.

Yes, I understand you're part of the team from Edwards looking to the

meteorites in Deuce, but we have a situation here in Lawton.

Ah, so you're aware of it then?

Yes, sir. I have one confirmed report.

Isolated?

No, it seems to be spreading. We have an eyewitness, a high school student,

Cheryl.

about a meteorite from a farmer named Jenkins.

And I sent an officer to investigate about an hour ago.

Yes, sir, it seems like Jenkins and the officer might both be infected, along

with a boy, Timmy Bob.

But we're short-handed tonight.

Well, that's good to know, but she's alone.

The doctor... All right, I understand.

I'll stand by until you arrive.

Class, I guess.

Hello?

Is the Army going to come and help us? Yes. Yes.

Yes, they are.

Thank God.

Everything's going to be okay.

Yes, but we still need to get you out of the park.

Deputy Venn?

Yes. I see a bridge up ahead.

Let me check the map.

The bridge is damaged. You can't cross it. Do you hear me? Don't cross the

bridge.

According to the map, there's only one road in and out of the park.

Can you send someone in?

I'm trying.

I can't reach the other deputy or your parents.

Look, Miss Cooper, you can't just wait there. You have to get out of the park

by yourself, now.

By the time the army arrives... Look, you can do it. It's too risky for you to

just wait there.

But what if Timmy still has the roadblock?

Then...

Then you'll need to get past it, Miss Cooper, any way you can.

Oh, God.

You can do this, Miss Cooper.

I don't know. I'll keep trying to get help out to you, but get moving.

Okay, okay.

God, this is so fucked up.

You'll be fine. Oh, yeah, real fucking fine.

Focus on the road.

I'm so sorry, Miss Cooper.

So, that's what the fight with Timmy was about.

Hold on. Just look what the doctor from Edwards has shown us. I'll be back in a

minute.

Just come breathe.

Stay close to me.

I feel something happening.

I love you so much, Timmy.

How the fuck did we get here?

I love you.

And I hate you.

I hate you.

I hate this whole fucking thing. How the fuck did we get here?

How do I get out of here?

It's going to be fine. It's going to be fine. All right? All right? Just, just,

just.

What the hell?

Nothing.

It was nothing.

What?

What is that?

I don't know.

Oh, God.

I'm going to put Dr.

Oscar Franks on. He's from the U.S. Space Command out of Edwards.

He's here to help us.

Hello? Miss Cooper, first I want to reassure you that everything is going to

be fine.

We have a medical team in the area addressing this event.

Everyone affected will be treated, and the good news is, it's not fatal.

Oh, thank God.

Now, I know you've already been through a lot, but we're past the worst of it.

Your boyfriend's going to be fine, okay?

What's been happening to our people?

To your people?

Well, in the simplest terms, it's like they got a bug.

Brainstem via the inner ear canal.

And that causes behavior resembling an epileptic fit, like an epileptic grand

mal seizure.

It's more.

I saw Mr.

Jenkins. You think you saw something, right?

Well, Miss Cooper, it's been my experience that victims under your type

of stress tend to imagine sights and sounds.

So, let's address the facts.

Okay.

I don't mean to minimize the danger.

Let me backtrack a bit.

Now, a number of meteorites fell this evening throughout the Lawton Valley

area.

We believe that these objects may have contained an infectious spore or a

bacteria.

We're confident that we can come up with an antidote.

The make of the viral agent resembles, very closely resembles,

meningitis.

You have a cure for this well Yes, of course so from

our initial analysis the victim is contagious

Cooper, you better keep driving.

We'll sort out what's happening when you get here. Do you think that's wise?

She's most likely safer where she is.

Until you've treated the infected, I want Miss Cooper out of there.

I think you're making a big mistake.

Miss Cooper, just drive back to town.

Look, Deputy, why don't you and I take a patrol around town to see if anyone has

been infected?

We could limit the outbreak if it's reached law proper.

All right.

I'm of no use here anyway with the phones and cells out.

Let's run over to the prom and the diner first to see what's going on.

Don't leave me.

All right. Miss Cooper, we'll be back in ten minutes.

I think it's more.

Worse than the doctor knows.

I'll be on my walkie.

Channel six.

Deputy Bell?

We ask all our listeners to stay calm and strictly follow any commands and

orders. Most important is to stay indoors and off the road.

We will stay on the air and continue to report on emergency.

The television, phone, cell service... Oh my God.

It's a dream. Okay.

I'm just, I'm just dreaming. Okay.

Okay.

One big, crazy dream. And I'm going to wake

up tomorrow.

And my dad will be there.

And my mom.

It's all just a bad dream.

And this is just in my mind, okay?

I'm just going to breathe. And in my dream, I'm thriving, and I'm just going

to keep thriving. Tomorrow, I'm going to wake up.

I'm going to wake up so soon.

Cooper,

it's Deputy Ben. Deputy, I tried driving out, but Timmy and Mr.

Jenkins have blocked the exit. Yeah, it figures.

What should I do?

Please listen to what I have to say, and don't interrupt, okay?

We don't have a lot of time, and I know you're scared.

Okay.

Okay. The doctor and I split up to cover more ground. I was attacked out by the

diner. I'm okay, but I don't know if Frank's okay.

I think he is.

He called me on his walkie and said he was heading back to the police station

about a minute ago.

When I found out, the infected seemed organized. It's not random attacks.

Cheryl, I saw our neighbors.

Our friends, they were all looking at each other like something was passing

between them, like a secret.

Like they're part of some plan.

It looks like they're sealing off the town.

They have roadblocks up at all the roads out, and they're springing the perimeter

of the entire town with searchers and patrols. I know it sounds crazy, but

it's like there's some kind of intelligence behind it all.

I'm going to try to continue to search the town to see how far the infection

has spread and try to organize the survivors I find.

All right, you.

Miss Cooper, I want you to remain in the parkland. I know that's different than

anything I've ever said, but it's the safest place for you, I promise. I'm

sure the infection is everywhere between you and the town.

At least in the park, you can hide in the forest if they come after the car.

I know you can be brave.

I know it.

Take the walkie-talkie off the dashboard. Do you see it there? Yes.

Yes. All right, good.

You keep it with you if you need to exit the car.

Did Officer Bardo leave the weapon in the car?

No,

I don't see one. All right. As soon as I get in touch with the Army, I'll give

them your location.

When you see the copters, try to signal them.

You may have to get out of the car for them to see you're not infected.

Okay.

But hurry. Stay safe, Ms. Cooper.

Out.

Miss Cooper?

Are you there?

Maria.

Hello? Dr. Frank?

Yes, Miss Cooper.

I've completed a sweep of the town and the infection is here.

I want you to stay where you are for the moment.

It's bad, isn't it?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

And it appears to have mutated into a more virulent form.

But we're going to be okay, right?

Please, you do this all the time. You do this all the time, right? I mean, maybe

it happens often.

It could happen often, right?

Yes, it happens.

You're killing me.

I'll be okay.

I'll be okay.

I'll be okay.

Listen, Miss Cooper, before we go much further, I need some answers from you.

I know you're scared, but try to concentrate.

It could be very important to the outcome here.

Okay, sir.

Have you told anyone else about this other than the deputy?

No. Has the deputy told anyone else?

No.

Good. You've confirmed what he said.

We may have finally caught a break.

Oh, my God.

What?

There's something coming down the road.

Yes, one of my advance teams.

No, it's not. They look infected like ghosts.

Oh, God, they're coming for me. I've got to run. No, remain in the car.

Lock the door.

No, they'll have me trapped.

Please help me.

Miss Cooper, I want you to remain in the car until my people arrive to take care

of you.

Oh, no.

The coast is... It's me.

It's me.

You're not making any sense.

It's me coming down the road.

I'm going crazy.

It looks like me. No.

Okay. Okay.

It is me.

What the fuck?

Back away from the radio, Frank, or whatever the fuck you are. Deputy Beck!

Cheryl, I'm okay.

Frank is dead.

But they've taken over most of the town. I can't stop a walk.

No.

No. You have to try.

Don't let them. Please. Cheryl.

Listen, there's got to be another way.

Please. I see some people trying to get away.

I've got to help them.

Grab the walkie and switch to channel six, Cheryl.

What did I do wrong? Why do I deserve this?

Why

me?

Why? Okay, I want to know.

Why us? Why me? Why now? Why here?

They just yanked a woman out of a car.

They're just pulling people out of cars.

Sarah, listen to me.

Listen to me.

I want you to exit the patrol car. It's too dangerous to stay.

Hide in the forest.

Get out!

Somebody!

I'm not gonna make it, Cheryl.

Thank you.

Gerald, help us.

Gerald.

There's no way to run.

No one left.

Please, Gerald.

Thank you. Thank you.

The President wants to assure the nation that everything is being done to protect

our citizens.

Now, is there any more questions?

I'm Carrie Dillon, and I'm here at this trailhead that's six miles from the

Lawton County line.

Now, the reason that we're here is because all of the roads to Lawton

County, as well as the airspace above it, have been closed by the Army. It has

been 48 hours since there's been any contact with any Lawton County

residents.

been a complete news blackout that was imposed by the president and the NSA, I

have decided that I am going to hike into Lawton County using the back trail.

Now, right over this rise here, beyond that hill, is where Lawton is.

I plan on getting you the first pictures of whatever has occurred in Lawton

County. And we plan on staying there as long as possible.

All right.

Now...

It has caused unprecedented response and mobilization by the military and

other governmental agencies such as NASA and the CDC.

This is what we know.

There have been a number of landings of meteorites throughout the Lawton County

Valley.

There are unsubstantiated rumors that these meteorites...

have released an extremely virulent biological organism.

That is a virus or a bacteria.

Get out of here, ma'am. Turn around and leave at once.

Turn that off. No.

Turn around now and leave. I won't ask again.
