(woman panting)

(gravel crunches)

(man sighs)

- [Man] Hey, who are you?

- Do you know what happened?

You mean you didn't see that?

- [Man] See what?

- There was a big flash of light, everything went bright.

- I didn't see anything.

- Do you have a TV?

Can we see if there's anything on the news, please?

- Okay.

Come on.

Are you alone?

- Yeah, why?

- Can I get you something to drink?

- Sure, sure.

I'm Sasha, by the way.

- [Man] I'm Cole.

- Thanks.

- [Cole] What are you doing way out here?

- I was with my boyfriend,

and then he was gone, he disappeared.

- I'm sure he's around.

What do you say we go into town?

He probably got lost.

It's pretty easy to do around here.

- Yeah, yeah.

(quiet, pulsing music)

- Sorry about the outhouse.

- Oh, it's all right.

I've been camping before.

- What do you say we call it a night?

I won't try anything, I promise.

- Okay.

- [Cole] You take the bed, I'll take the couch.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah.

Can I get you anything?

- Just a glass of water.

- [Cole] Okay.

- [Sasha] There you are.

- Morning.

Know what you're thinking.

It's the 2000s, and this guy

still gets his water from a creek.

- (chuckles) I wasn't gonna say anything.

- Just like to enjoy the simpler things in life.

- I wish my life was simple.

- Would you mind?

- [Sasha] Sure.

- So, I was thinking about what you said last night,

about the flash of light.

What do you think it was?

- Hey, wait!

- Sasha!

Hey.

What was all that about?

- There was a little girl.

- Where?

I'm sorry.

- For what?

- I know you're worried right now.

- First Blake, then this little girl shows up.

I just don't know what the hell's going on anymore.

- I don't know about any girl, except you.

But it can't just be the two of us.

Have you read it?

- Parts of it, when I was younger.

- You don't think-

- The rapture?

- Yeah.

- I thought about it, but everybody's gone.

- I didn't think about that.

I mean, surely we're not the only two

sinning nonbelievers around.

(Cole and Sasha chuckle)

- Blake believes in God.

- [Cole] Yeah, me, too.

- Then where has everybody gone?

- I don't know.

I'm gonna find out, though.

(shimmering music)

- Somebody doesn't get out much.

- Yeah, one of the perks of working at the factory, I guess.

- Yeah.

- I don't really go into town unless I have to.

- I don't suppose you get Chinese delivery out here.

Any cell service, any cell signal yet?

- Nah, it doesn't really work up here.

- What happened to you?

I guess we'll save that for another time.

Look, thanks for letting me stay.

I really appreciate it.

You didn't have to.

- Yeah, I did.

It's nice to have someone to talk to,

even for a little while.

But my people skills could probably use a little work.

- You're like the Tom Cruise of cabin dwellers.

- Show me the money.

(Sasha knocks)

Hey.

- Hey.

Do you mind if I clean up a little bit?

- [Cole] Yeah, be my guest.

- Do you mind?

- Sure.

I guess I'll see you in the morning.

- [Sasha] Night.

- Night.

Oh, if you need to, use the water in the jug,

and, if you have to go-

- [Sasha] I'll take it outside.

- Yeah.

Oh, also, if you want, I have a shirt you can use.

Just throwing that out there.

- Thanks.

- All right.

Night.

- Hey, can I get that shirt?

- Yeah.

- I saw her photo.

She was beautiful.

(Sasha gasps)

You scared me.

I'm Sasha, what's your name?

- Mya.

- Hi, Mya.

What are you doing here?

Do you know what happened?

Can you tell me?

Can I trust Cole?

- [Mya] Shh.

(Cole knocks)

- Hey, are you still up?

Sorry to bother you.

- [Sasha] It's all right.

- I thought I heard voices.

- Sometimes I talk in my sleep.

- [Cole] I'm sorry, I didn't know you were sleeping.

- Oh, it's just late.

- I can't sleep right now.

I don't-

- [Sasha] What is it?

You can tell me.

- I'll let you get some rest.

(mysterious music)

What are you doing in my house?

(watch clicks)

- We need to talk, Cole.

- How do you know my name?

- That's unimportant.

Come sit down.

- I'll stand, thanks.

- [Mysterious Man] She's dangerous.

- Sasha? - Mm hmm.

Her past is clouded in mystery.

- I don't exactly have the best past, either.

- You need to get rid of her, before it's too late.

- Get rid of her?

I just met her.

- You know, your father once-

- [Cole] Whoa, whoa, you knew my father?

- [Mysterious Man] Yes.

But don't trouble yourself about that right now.

- Do you know where everyone's gone?

(shimmering, pulsing music)

- You've been dealt a particularly unique

hand of cards, my friend.

There's nothing I can say to give you

a satisfactory explanation for what you're going through.

- I just want answers.

- You're gonna have to figure it out on your own,

and you don't have much time.

- Time for what?

- If you don't get rid of her soon,

everything you know is in danger of becoming extinct.

- How much time do I have?

- A week, maybe less.

(watch clicks)

- [Cole] Hey.

What's your name?

- It's Flynn, but that's not important.

Clock's ticking, Cole.

- Hey, about last- - Look, I'm-

- Go ahead.

- It's okay.

- Everything's a little off.

I really don't know what's going on around here.

- You're not the only one.

- See, that's just it.

- What do you mean?

- Do you really think we're the only ones left?

- I don't know.

I mean, if so, why us?

- I don't know.

I don't think I'd be very good for starting over with.

- I'm not perfect, either.

- You seem all right to me.

I mean, you're female.

(Sasha snorts)

- I'm no Eve, but I can give it a shot.

She is the one that tempted Adam.

- You planning on tempting me?

- Got any forbidden fruit laying around?

(Sasha sighs)

- I'm sorry.

- What do you mean?

- I couldn't help but notice you're upset.

I'm on my way inside, on my own.

I know it's a little lame, but if you'd like to-

- [Sasha] Sure.

- Sure what?

- I'll join you.

- Really?

- I'm here, you're here.

Might as well make the most of it.

- Okay.

- I'm Sasha. - Blake.

What happened back there?

- Asshole.

- Listen, as guys, we're wired to be dicks.

It's only through proper training and conditioning

that we can treat women with respect.

- (chuckles) Is that so?

- Yeah.

Yeah.

- I thought we really had something.

- She was your cousin.

- But we really connected.

- Blood is thicker than water, boys.

At least, that's what they say.

Hit me.

- Saddle up, little doggies,

we's going out on the open prairie tonight.

(actress laughs)

- How about you, Chuck, how's your love life?

- Eh, you know, I do all right.

- All right, huh?

- He's dating my best friend Kate.

- When did this happen? - You knew?

- We're friends, doofus, and we're girls.

We talk.

- You talk, do you, is that what you do?

And what do you talk about,

other than my scorching good looks.

- Just girl stuff.

- Beer, boobs, and football?

- You guessed it, Mikey. - Whose boobs?

- Can we please stay on the matter at hand?

- And what matter is that?

- Kate!

What did she say about me?

- Hit me.

- Oh, did I?

- Yeah. - Sorry.

- [Sasha] It's all right.

Let's get outta here.

- Yeah.

(screeching tones)

(echoing, distorted voice)

- [Radio Voice] If anyone can hear this message,

you are (speaker collapses into distortion).

If anyone can hear this message,

you are not alone (speaker collapses into distortion).

(Sasha sighs)

(Sasha gasps)

- Why do you keep doing that?

- You startle easily.

- You knew this was the end of the world, didn't you?

Why didn't you tell me?

- [Mya] Look, we need to go.

- Where?

Cole's the only one around.

Don't you think it's better if we stick together?

(Sasha sighs)

(Cole sighs)

- Glad to have you back.

- I'm sorry about last night.

- You're free to leave whenever you want.

It's not a prison here.

- I know, it's- - It's fine.

- It's not like me to just take off without saying goodbye.

- So, is that was this is?

Maybe we should go our own separate ways,

for a little while.

- What are you doing?

- Losing what's left of my sanity.

- Why do you have all these?

You're not one of those

end of the world type creeps, are you?

- No, actually, I haven't even read half of these books.

Besides, I don't even own a bomb shelter.

I'm pretty sure that's a requirement.

- Yeah. (chuckles)

- I'll let you know if I find anything.

(water gurgles)

(woman grunts)

(static hisses)

(Cole sighs)

- You're pathetic.

You've really let yourself go.

You're (stutters) pathetic.

You have really let yourself (stutters) go.

- Mom?

- Don't give me that!

Is this how you wanna spend the rest of your life,

or what's left of it?

- I don't know what to do.

Things haven't been the same since-

- So you decided to just waste away.

- Well, I don't even know if there's a world

for me to be part of anymore.

- God! - I mean, for all I know,

I'm the last man on earth.

- Oh, well, what about that (stutters) girl

you've been spending so much time with?

- Sasha.

- Tramp.

- She's not a tramp, she's just as confused as I am.

- No one will ever be as confused as you.

- I devoted my life to you!

- (stutters) Whatever helps you sleep at night.

- This is the end of the world, and you.

(static hisses)

You're dead.

(static hisses)

What the hell am I missing?

Candace?

Did you do what you need to?

- Yeah.

What if we are the last people on Earth?

- I don't know.

Repopulate?

- You would like that, wouldn't you?

You are totally into me, aren't you?

- I've seen better.

- Oh, better, huh?

Do you see any better around here?

- I don't see anybody around here.

- [Sasha] That's what I thought.

- So where'd you go?

It's all right, you don't have to say it.

- It's just things have been so strange lately.

- You mean besides the apocalypse?

There's been a lot of other weird stuff

going on around here.

- [Sasha] Weird how?

- Well, I had an argument with my dead wife,

and I also had a conversation with my mother,

who is also dead.

- Really.

- I've also been seeing this guy Flynn.

- Who's he?

- [Cole] What is it?

- Nothing.

- Please, tell me I'm not going crazy.

- Better prep the padded room, reservation for two.

- Come on.

- No offense, but those clothes

look like they've seen better days.

- They're all I have.

- Still have some of my wife's clothes in the closet.

- [Sasha] Oh, you don't have to.

- It's okay.

She has no need for them anymore,

so you're welcome to help yourself.

- Thank you.

What do you think?

- You look good.

- [Sasha] Yeah, I know.

- I'm glad you decided to come back.

- Yeah, me, too.

I know it's none of my business,

but why haven't you, you know, gotten back out there?

- When you meet someone who just really takes

your breath away.

- Well, what happened, if you don't mind me asking?

- She was out collecting water from the creek,

the way she did every morning.

She loves being outdoors.

(woman grunts)

Something just felt wrong.

So I went out to go check on her.

(quiet music)

(Cole weeps)

- I'm so sorry.

- Her ring was laying nearby.

- It's all right.

I'm here, love.

What is it?

- Nothing, it's just something she used to say.

- Oh.

- What is this?

- Hey, what's that?

- Looks like she was writing a book.

- You should probably respect her privacy.

- I have to read that.

- She wouldn't want you thumbing through her things.

- Well, why wouldn't she tell me about it?

- Everybody has secrets, Cole.

Some things are better left alone.

(shimmering music)

- [Flynn] What did I tell you about the girl?

- Jeez.

- [Flynn] Well?

- Yeah, I know what you said,

it's just- - You like her.

- There might be something to her.

- Yeah.

She's gorgeous, possibly the last woman on the planet,

and, you know.

- And what?

- And she reminds you of?

- No.

- [Flynn] You miss her?

- Of course I miss her, but Sasha's not even-

- There's things you still don't understand.

- There's a hell of a lot I don't understand.

Women are just one of those things.

- Cole, there's forces working against you.

- Why are you even here.

There's no way that you can be real.

- What's reality?

- [Cole] Why are we talking philosophy?

- If your brain thinks something is real, it's real.

(Cole sighs)

- My brain tells me there is no way that you're real.

But here we are, carrying on

like two characters in a bad soap opera.

Are you real or not?

- You decide.

(fluttering music)

- Flynn?

Flynn?

(Cole sighs)

- My God, are you okay?

- [Cole] I'll live.

- What happened?

- I thought I saw my wife's ring in the creek.

- So you dove in?

- [Cole] No, I slipped.

- Let's get you cleaned up.

Let's get a shower.

(gentle, haunting music)

That's a new look.

- Well, it's time for a change.

What are we gonna do with the rest of our day?

- We could just stay in bed.

- [Cole] You're something else, you know that?

- Oh, I know.

(gasps) Blake!

- What's wrong, baby?

- What are you doing here?

- Rocking your world, if I'm not mistaken.

What are you doing with this loser?

- [Sasha] Cole?

- How many guys are you sleeping with?

You know, I never would've pegged you for a cheater.

- That's not fair! - No, what's not fair

is you don't whether or not I'm dead or alive,

and, yet, here you are banging this idiot.

- You disappeared!

- How do you know I just didn't go

down to the pub, get shit-faced,

and end up in the gutter for a couple of days?

- I don't know what you want me to say.

- No, you know what?

I see where I stand.

- Wait, Blake!

- Did you say something?

- No, I was talking out loud.

- Okay.

Wanna try heading out to the pub?

- Yeah, I'll get dressed.

- All right.

- You think we're gonna find anything in there?

It's worth a shot.

- At the very least, we can get some drinks.

- Oh, hell yeah.

- Are you good at pool?

- I can kick your ass.

- I need to hit the head.

Where do you think the bathroom's at?

Follow the signs, okay.

(Sasha chuckles)

Oh, here we go.

I'll go this way, and you go that way.

(urine splatters)

(bluesy rock music) (people chattering)

Are you seeing this?

- Uh huh.

I was not expecting people.

- Let's mingle.

(balls clack)

- Hey, bud.

- Me?

- [Blake] Come here.

(bluesy rock music)

- Thanks.

Do I know you?

- Nah, man, you don't know me,

but maybe you should.

- Okay.

- Drink up.

But I know you.

You're the apocalypse guy.

- So you're not real, either?

- Perception is reality.

Everyone knows that.

- [Cole] Okay, are you the Riddler or?

- No, man, no, I'm not the Riddler.

I'm Blake.

- Hi, Blake.

- Sasha's Blake.

- Oh.

Well, hey, she's around here.

I'm sure she'd be really happy-

- It's not her I'm interested in.

- Oh.

What can I do for you?

- You can stay the hell away from my girl.

- Look, I didn't know that she was-

- I know what you did.

- Okay.

No offense, but as far as I can tell,

she's the only one who's real in here, besides me.

Thanks for the drink.

- Keep it real.

(people chattering) (bluesy rock music)

- What did I tell you about the girl?

- I know, I know.

- You're not listening.

She's coming.

(pounding rock music)

- Who's your friend?

I'm Sasha.

(pounding rock music)

What the hell is his problem?

- He's a comic.

(pounding rock music)

Find anyone interesting to talk to?

- Just one of my imaginary friends.

(pounding rock music)

- We should probably head back.

- Cole, we might not get another chance like this.

(pounding rock music)

- Let's go.

(pounding rock music)

- Blake!

(Cole retches)

(quiet music)

How ya feeling?

- How do I look?

- [Sasha] Like shit.

I talked to him, you know.

- And you didn't say anything?

- I didn't know who he was, at first.

(Sasha sighs)

He's not real, you know.

- How do we even know what's real anymore?

- What if they're just distracting us from-

- What, from what we're supposed to be doing?

- Yeah

- What are we supposed to be doing?

- I'm reading that book.

- What book?

- [Cole] Candace's book.

- What do you think you're doing?

- Trying to find out what's so damn important

she didn't want me to know about it.

"They lived in a quaint cabin in the woods

"outside a small Colorado town.

"A soft flowing creek ran behind their loving home,

"and provided the perfect backdrop

"for what they hoped would one day be home

"to their future children."

Is this about us?

"Sasha knew."

Sasha?

"Sasha knew she could never tell him what happened.

"He would be crushed.

"Blake had always wanted a child,

"and the loss would devastate him.

"Several years passed, but she never told him

"about the miscarriage.

"Their love had been the one constant in their lives,

"and she didn't wanna do anything to put that in jeopardy.

"Maybe one day they would know the love of a child,

"but Mya, she was her secret."

(book bangs)

What the hell is this?

- [Sasha] (sighs) I told you not to read it.

- Why are you in this book?

(Sasha sighs)

- We knew you wouldn't understand.

- We?

- I'm leaving.

I can't stand to watch this train wreck any longer.

- Wait, Sasha!

Sasha!

Sasha, where are you going?

- I shouldn't have come back.

Just leave me alone.

- Dad?

What are you doing here?

- You need to quit worrying

about what other people are doing,

and start thinking about what you need to do.

- [Cole] Which is what?

- It's time for you to make a choice.

- What choice?

Dad.

(dramatic music)

Are you Mya?

(dramatic music)

My father blamed me.

He climbed into a bottle, and he never looked back.

(dramatic music)

(lush music)

What do you want?

Hey!

- Get over yourself.

- [Cole] Can I help you?

Just here to go through all my shit?

- I'm here on business.

- [Cole] Well, I'm not buying.

- I want my life back.

You're obviously confused, Cole, as usual.

- Why are you even here?

Do you wanna borrow some sugar or something?

- (chuckles) You're funny.

Sugar, nah, not sugar.

Blood, maybe.

Maybe pain.

- [Cole] What are you talking about?

- Was I rambling again?

Maybe there's something in the water.

- Get to the point!

- Take it easy, I come in peace.

- Why don't I believe you?

- 'Cause I'm obviously lying.

We're all lying, Cole.

You're just too dumb to figure it out.

- [Cole] Then why don't you tell me

what the hell is going on?

- The answers will come, in time.

And Sasha, she'll come back to you.

- I thought she was your girl.

- [Blake] Things change.

- Look, man, I didn't mean to.

- Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

I'm not here for excuses or apologies.

- [Cole] Then what the hell do you want?

(fist smacks)

- Don't make the same mistakes I did.

(tense, exciting music)

- What in the hell is going on around here?

- Let's go stretch your legs.

- [Cole] I saw my mom.

- [Flynn] She's around.

- I had a daughter.

I've been feeling terrible.

- Well, that's to be expected.

- Really?

- Look, I'm not here to answer your questions.

- Then why are you here?

- That's not important.

What is important is this.

- [Cole] What do you know about this?

- There's nothing but trouble in there.

You best get rid of it now while you still have a chance.

- [Cole] I had a daughter.

- Heed my warning, son.

That book is dangerous.

It'll only hold you back,

and you're running out of time.

I'm afraid this is farewell.

Good luck, I'll be rooting for you.

- What now?

The hell's your problem?

- You know what they say, if I can't have her.

- You're not real.

- [Blake] That real enough for you?

(Cole groans)

There ain't room enough in the world

for the both of us, friend.

- What the hell do you want?

- Face it, Cole, you're all alone.

(Cole grunts)

- Still reading those books?

- They're actually pretty fascinating.

- This laundry is fascinating.

- You know, one day, we'll have some kids,

and then we can make them do all the chores.

- Is that why you wanna have kids?

- I wanna have kids because I love you,

and I want some little rascals to share that love with.

- [Candace] Good answer.

- What do you say we start trying?

- Now?

What about the laundry?

- It can wait.

I used to think about what I would do if I ever lost you.

I'm talking to people that can't be real,

sleeping with women who aren't you.

I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

But I gotta do something.

(Cole sniffles)

"Blake leaned over to Sasha and whispered

"sweetly into her ear."

What the hell are you trying to tell me?

You're not real.

- [Blake] Don't you see, farm boy?

- See what?

- You'll never defeat me 'cause you are me.

(men grunt)

- No, no, come on, come on, come on.

(Cole weeps)

You're all I have left.

(Cole pants)

Candace?

I don't understand.

- Come with me, Cole.

(gentle music)

- What's happening?

- There's something in the water.

- What do you mean?

- It's affecting you.

You have to make a choice.

- You or Sasha.

- No, the truth or.

- The lie.

I'm having such a good time with you,

but I know it's not real.

Am I the last man on Earth?

- [Candace] Is that what's important to you?

- What about Sasha, the book?

- It was too personal to use our real names.

- Blake said...

Theater.

I'm sorry.

- What do you mean?

- I couldn't help but notice you're upset.

I'm on my way in, all by myself.

I know it's kinda lame, but I was wondering-

- Sure.

- Sure what?

- [Candace] I'll join you.

- Really?

- [Candace] I'm here, you're here,

might as well make the most of it.

- Okay.

(quiet music)

That was the best day of my life.

- Mine, too.

- What about Flynn?

- You don't remember?

(gentle, solemn music)

Cole?

- [Cole] Can I help you?

- Boy, you've grown.

- I'm sorry, do I know you?

- Last time I saw you, you were knee-high to a grasshopper.

My name's Flynn, but that's not important.

I'm an old friend of your father's.

- My father doesn't live here.

- Yeah.

Look, I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this,

but your dad passed away.

I know you weren't close.

- Do you know what happened?

- He was drinking,

like he often did, you know.

(gun clicks)

(father panting)

(gun bangs)

Well, I'm sorry you had to hear it from me.

I'll be on my way.

- Hey, thanks for letting me know.

- No problem, kid.

See you around.

- That was a hard day.

- Yeah.

Why are all these visions, these people,

trying to keep Sasha, us, us,

why are they trying to keep us apart?

- Part of you would want to keep

the illusion alive forever,

but your body can't take much more of the poison.

(Cole coughs)

- I'm not ready.

(emotional music)

I still have so much...

(emotional music)

I still have so much.

(emotional music)

(Cole retches)

(emotional music)

- [Man Voiceover] This is Gunter Harrison.

We have regained radio signal.

I repeat, we are back on the air.

If anyone can hear this message, you are not alone.

There are others.

We are gathering in the small town of Black Hawk.

We have food and fresh water.

I urge you to leave the comfort of your homes,

make your way to Black Hawk as quickly as you can,

and, whatever you do, do not trust the strangers.

I repeat, do not trust the strangers.

(haunting, ethereal music)
