This is Netherland

Colorado

Most of our town is destroyed

but everything above 8,000 feet

is completely untouched

The white line appears to be 8,000

feet

Emporium are purging survivors

to stay above that elevation

8,000 feet is the global lifeline

If you can get to high ground

go there now

Just

just wanted to see other people

And you said most of the monsters

are sleeping again

They're on the oxygen every night

What if your lungs seized up when

you were running away

I'm sorry

Dad

I can't lose you

I can't

I need you to understand that

This one's heavy

Hold on

You got it

Yeah

Hey

what happened this morning

He went across the line to get

a better view of the Red Rock

settlement

Well

he's the only kid up here

He's lonely

He's alive

Some of us need more than that

well

I mean

we may be safe up here

but this mountaintop is like

a prison to him

He didn't just go there to see

Red Rock

The line crosses Elbafire Road

near there

It's the last place he saw his

mother

Crow's nest were refused

reports they sent a party of

five below the line

Nobody's come back so far

They're still holding out hope

They asked us to send somebody

out to the pinnacle to deliver

any signs we're still out there

What run did they take

Sugarloaf Run

I get it

You trust Nina

but this is a suicide mission

It's not your job to save the

world

I'm here

I'm here

Take it

All right

Deep breaths

Nice and easy

Deep breaths

Deep breaths

Nice and easy

There you go

Nice and easy

Oh

I love you

man

So the hay keeps the potato warm

as it grows out of the ground

But if it's colder

you put the hay over it

keep the frost off the ground

keep the potato warm

All right

now it's about time now

So you let it go

You have to let it go at the right

moment

Let go of this drink

So here you go

It's Hunter's birthday

Mmm

You want my last box of mac and

cheese

I have these to trade

It's not much

but..

It's a knife

No way

How'd you get this

Come on

You know I got connections

man

Happy birthday

Dad

why don't you use the radio anymore

Oh

we have flags to signal to the

other refuges if we need to

But it's not the same as talking

to them

It's hard enough to make enough

electricity for the things we

absolutely need

like your machine

especially in the winter with

the days being so short

You're going to leave

aren't you

That was your last filter

We need more

You get sick again

Then I won't get sick

It doesn't work like that

When

I'm gonna be okay

I got him from Charlie

I'm pretty sure he's trying to

sleep with me

He's 80

Well

after three years up here

I'm considering it

Where's Hunter

Sleeping

It's Friday night

you know

Is it

Mm-hmm

If this was before

what would you be doing

I'd probably be at the 19th hole

with my father-in-law

Sorry

I never pictured you as the country

club type

Will

I wasn't

but Tara's family loved it

I hated it

And now I miss it

We're out of filters

I'm gonna have to give you a shot

Hello

Nina

How are you

How's the drinking

Keeps me from killing myself

How's yours

Keeps me from killing you

I'm leaving tomorrow for Boulder

Well

that's probably the last thing

I expected you to say

I don't have a choice

You'll die

They can't be killed

If you believe that

you wouldn't still have this

pirate flag on your wall

I found a safe way there

There is no safe way

I know every map

every route

Two days' walk

Impossible to stay above the line

the whole time

Hunter's machine

The last filter burnt out

The hospital in Boulder will have

a crate of them

But if I don't go

Hunter dies

The place was probably looted

No one had time to loot

You're gonna have to go below

the line at least a dozen times

You can't survive a dozen encounters

with those things

You survived

That was luck

Luck is not a strategy

Luck won't help you

You're the only person who fought

them and lived

You've studied them for years

That'll help me

So what

Do me a favor

Nina

Let's go

Let's dive together

But last year

you thought you found a way to

kill them if you could get back

to your old lab

That's why Tara went with you

I have a way to Boulder

It's mapped out

We only go below the line twice

Twice

That's not possible

It is

Calloway Mine

It goes through the mountain

A mine

A fucking mine

Well

that's your plan

That's a death trap by definition

Our company did a big job there

I walked every inch

I know those tunnels

You don't know anything

You're desperate

Desperate people get killed

00 AM

Cathedral Point Overlook

Who says I'm going

Everything you've done up here

since day one says that

Shooting at that goddamn Reaper

scale every night

All you think about is killing

one of these things

and you need something from down

here to do it

You owe me this much for Tara

Will

Boulder's 2,000 feet below the

line

Even if you make it there

they'll be there waiting for

you

It only takes one of them

I know

Max

No problem

I have to go tomorrow

He's got four days

five at the most

I'll stay here with him

Change is zero to 200 yards

so you'll be able to engage him

from further out

Oh

AP rounds

These are for my own personal

stash

Slowing down a bid one rate of

556

Good luck out there

Thanks

You planning on telling me

Huh

You're just going to run off and

get yourself killed without saying

a word like Tara

I'm sorry

That was uncalled for

Yeah

it was

Hey

Tim

Yep

My gear

Katie

what are you doing

Going with you

No

you're not

Not asking permission

Will

You can't go out there alone

You need a partner to watch your

back

Right

Nina's going with me

Oh

I'm definitely going now

The town needs you up here

And I need to see what's down

there

Why

What's the point

We're rats on a sinking ship

and we need to find a way off

No

we don't

We can survive up here forever

Everyone except Hunter

I don't want to live like this

forever

Will

And we both know Hunter doesn't

either

Well

it's not his decision to make

not at eight years old

We're gonna have to fight them

eventually

Will

It might as well be today

We don't need your help

You don't need anyone's help

do you

Nina

You ever seen one coming for you

Up close

Not just a flickering light in

the distance

The way they tear people apart

Bullets bounce off them like nothing

unless you hit them square in

the face

And even then

it just gives you a few seconds

to run

We're going to die out there

but you first

I won't be gone long

That's what Mom said

I'm coming back

We hit Altimas to ski area

We might even use the ski lid

Well

what power

They're backup generators

Which won't work after sitting

idle for 992 days

The batteries aren't drained

I'll get it running

So what's in Boulder

Nina

My own lab

I thought you were a professor

at Caltech

Researcher

I can't teach kids

I'm too stupid

Caltech students are too dumb

for you

So what's that make us

then

not Caltech students

Katie

Well

you could be nice

At least try

What's wrong with not giving a

shit

How do we know there isn't one

hibernating down there

I'm not picking anything up

I guess that's not a compass

is it

No

Did you find a way to track them

By electromagnetism

They generate their own magnetic

fields

stronger than ours

stronger than any animal on Earth

When they're within 1/2 mile

the needle is drawn to them

So it's 2 miles to the ski area

One mile if we cut through the

forest

Nina

you're the expert

Any idea why they don't go above

8000 feet

Mostly

I'm just hoping they don't change

their minds

Anything on that

Nothing yet

It's quiet for now

Might be something we could use

All right

still clear on the tracker

Needle moves

you say so

Got some ammo here

A few flares

Jackpot

Huh

You know how to use that

It's designed for an 18 year old

just out of basic training

I'm pretty sure I can figure it

out

No need

So you've done this before

I'm from Texas

Well

I'm from Louisiana

It doesn't mean my dad taught

me how to use a good head launcher

Nina

how's it going

Nina

can we please go

Will you two just shut up

I'm looking at a Reaper scale

If she wants to stay

just let her

Just let her

We don't need her anyway

Actually

you do

I'm like you

I'm not dead weight

Fuck you

Nina

We both know who you're trying

to fuck

Katie

and it's not me

It's your best friend's husband

You know what

Oh

you got killed

Do you remember that

Stop it

you dude

Bitch

I don't like you

Nina

I never have

I don't blame you

Katie

Fine

fine

Where'd they all come from

Three years without us

Hold up

I need a minute

Top of the mountain's 8000 feet

1015 minute hike was safe

or I can try to get the chairlift

working

It'd have to be faster than that

I'm here

Down there

Run

We'll never make it to the line

You have to

It's too far

We have to try the left

What if the battery's dead

She's right

Cover me

Okay

And I will

Shit

come on

7800 feet

You have to jump

Come on

Jenny

No

no

no

jump

Shit

Don't let go

Oh

I got you up

We're out of there

We made it

We made it

Run

run

run

Y'all okay

Oh

18 year old single malt

Those grenades did nothing to

one more night alive

It is different..

seeing them up close

We're not meant to share the planet

with those things

Maybe the Jesus frees are right

Maybe the reapers are judgment

for mankind's sins

for eating God's apple

then clear cutting the Garden

of Eden with the knowledge it

gave us

I don't buy that

So what do you buy

They're Earth's new apex predators

and more prey

So how do we take our place back

It came out of nowhere all at

once

No one's had a chance to study

them

You study something long enough

you can figure out how to kill

them

If it doesn't kill you first

A lot more of us are gonna die

But one day we're gonna beat them

Three years

day and night researching them

Something had to stand up

What they did when they first

came out of the ground

Which was

Wipe out 95% of the world's population

in a month

They didn't stop to eat or sleep

They just didn't stop

I don't follow

Predators kill to eat

The Reapers kill to kill

And they only killed us

It's like it's all they wanted

was just to get rid of us

I don't think there's some master

plan

Nina

Simply what you say

they're predators and we're prey

I didn't say that

Katie did

So what are you saying

Nothing

It's just a question

I want an answer

What if Nina's right

What if she has found a way to

kill those things

I don't believe her

Why not

She wants it too badly

What does that mean

You know what I mean

If anyone can figure it out

it's her

She's a physicist

And what a messiah complex

Baby

that's all physicists

They make a living unlocking God's

secrets

I get it

You trust her

But this is a suicide mission

It's not your job to save the

world

What is my job

To stay alive

You would've said something different

when we first met

That's before you almost died

in childbirth

and we had a one-pound infant

clinging to life in the neck

here

This is for Hunter

No

it's not

Not for Nina

This is about her wanting to be

the first person to kill a reaper

and she'll die to do it

She's not suicidal

Will

She's after immortality

Why can't you see that

She doesn't have a family

She's never had a family

She can..

It's just a matter of time before

he runs out of filters

That's a year from now

at least

And the reapers will still be

down there

So what's the difference

Another year together

That's the difference

When we come out

it'll be close to dark

We can't hit the city at night

There's a ranger station on the

other side

We can stay there until day break

What's the plan in there

This is level nine

Lateral take us down to level

8

We take eight across the mountain

2.2 miles

We exit at 8023 feet on the other

side

12 miles west of Boulder

Anything below level 8 is under

the line

We exit at 8023 feet

That's right

How exact is that

Mary

How do you know these tunnels

are perfectly straight

but they don't go somewhere in

the middle

That would take us below the line

or did you not think about that

Oh

you son of a bitch

Easy

We're going below the line

aren't we

Well

for how long

231 yards

What

Both ends of the tunnel are above

8,000 feet

so..

So nothing

These tunnels are not hermetically

sealed

How do you know there aren't any

fissures that lead to the lower

levels of the mine

You should have told us this before

we left the refuge

It's 231 yards

And besides

your tracker will tell us if

one of them is within a half a

mile

No

it won't

It just did

Above ground

It's not gonna work under a mile

of rock

It's 45 seconds

Why are you so worried

They come from underground

Will

They're built for it

We're not

They can see in the dark

They detect the smallest amount

of CO2

which we exhale

and we'll build up pretty fucking

fast inside a fucking mine

Fuck

You swear a lot

Fuck you

Katie

That's good

Let's go

What's wrong

See my earlier comment about the

tracker now working underneath

the mountain

No

no

no

no

Don't

Don't

It's welded shut

What now

Climb down to Level 7

That's below the line

Well

yeah

For how long

About 1000 yards

1000 yards

That's 10 football fields

I mean

how how steep are these cliffs

that we're trying to avoid

They're impassable

It's either we climb down or we

go back

And I'm not going back

Either of you guys afraid of heights

No

I'm afraid of monsters

So what do we do when we get to

the bottom and we just start

sprinting

We can't sprint across

so we'll just exhaust ourselves

and make too much noise

Worse than that

we'll quadruple our CO2 output

which they can track from a mile

away

That's what that light is at the

end of the tentacles

They track us like giant mosquitoes

Great

So slow and steady

Are we ready

No

Just need a minute to ponder my

own death

You're funnier than I realized

Thanks

You're smarter than I realized

So where were you when they showed

up

Oh

well

the night before the Reapers

appeared

my boyfriend and I had gotten

into an argument and he took

a swing at me and broke my nose

What

What'd you do

I hit him with a frying pan and

stole his car and drove it to

Nederland

That's fair

Anyway

the next morning I heard everything

happening over the radio

so I just went straight up the

fire road till the end and found

the refuge

Life's a bitch sometimes

Yeah

And then giant murder bugs hatched

from the ground

and it's amazing how quick nostalgia

sets in

You should be a motivational speaker

Can we get down this ladder

please

This way

Hey

hey

hey

hey

I think there's something back

there

I don't see anything

I heard something

I mean

I'm just being crazy

Wait

Cover your light

What

Please do it

Is that

Oh

shit

Dead ends

It's a dead end

Over here

Come on

They can still track us with the

CO2

So what do we do

Don't breathe

Get away out

Get away

Go

go

go

go

go

Hurry

Go

Come on

Come on

Come on

Katie

make a run

Katie

There's a dozen

Katie

Katie

Dave

no

She's gone

She's gone

Oh

my God

They're right back into the tunnel

we came to

What was she thinking

It's coming back

What's that

Oh my God

it's over

You still believe in God

I'm stubborn

What'd you ask for

Revenge

It's OK

You think it'll start

If there's a fresh battery inside

tires are kind of ratty

but it'll do

I must have made a thousand boxes

of this stuff

Every night

Tara would ask Hunter what did

he want for dinner

And every night

mac and cheese

What's the case in the milk protein

in cheese

It's like an opioid

as addictive as morphine

Sorry

I really liked Tara

Seems like that was the last person

you liked

Nina

Katie grew on me

Guess I got her killed

too

I should've never brought us in

those mines

Would've been easier scaling a

mountain with no equipment

You want to make her death matter

Don't feel guilt

Feel anger

I don't feel anything anymore

That's too bad

Anger's a terrible thing to waste

You would know

So would you

I don't hate you

Nina

Yeah

you do

I would

What's in your old lab

Paraclase

Cubic version of magnesium oxide

OK

the Reaper scales

they're impenetrable

I think it's because they're electrically

charged

Defense mechanism

I think

You think

If I'm right

a projectile

a bullet bonded with paraclase

it hits them

And theoretically

it creates a momentary million-volt

differential

and boom

Uncontrollable internal combustion

A magic bullet

That's what you've been working

on all this time

Literally a magic bullet

It's not magic

It's science

It's a guess

It's a hypothesis

With a healthy dose of wishful

thinking

Tara believed me

Tara would believe anything she

thought could save Hunter

You knew that

Talked her into going and got

them all killed

My wife

our friends

I told her not to go

I told her listening to you was

suicide

And yet here you are

with me

Standing on that same ledge

here we go

Jesus

Fifth floor

Don't look

Where are they

There should be cases of them

in here

What's that

Can't tell

Nothing on the tracker

Where else could they be

The OR

That's one

no question

Oh

well

we gotta go

I know

Shit

It's close

I'm looking

I'm looking

I got him

Come on

come on

Come on

come on

OK

Holy fuck

Yeah

in here

Now we're trapped

No

we're not

Stairs

What are you doing

Laura

I thought I told you to run

and I need a lesson

Is it dead

It's not moving

Yeah

but right

We should get the hell out of

here

The lab is close

There's no time

I still need paraclit and magnesium

oxide

I have Hunter to think about it

This is about more than just your

son

There's no such thing as more

to my son

How much time did you just by

yourself

Six months

A year

Then you're right back here again

Or we can prove that they can

be killed

And when we fly that flag over

the refuge

everyone else stuck on those

mountain tops will know it

The whole world will come and

fight with us

The odds may be stacked against

us

but I'm with Katie

We can't live like this forever

Sooner or later

we have to fight them

But I need your help

I can't do this alone

Shit

Let's go

Scale

Nothing on the tracker

I'm gonna need 5 minutes

I'll keep watch

I never knew you had a family

Well

I did

You never said a word

No

Let's let this dry and see what

happens

It's gonna take a few minutes

Figured you might want this

I was here when it happened

It was a Saturday

but but my team was close to

a breakthrough using cobalt to

increase the electron flow in

batteries

Makes them three times more efficient

That's what I was thinking about

when the world ended

Matters

Billy

my seven-year-old had a soccer

game that day

You ever seen kids that age play

soccer

How they all just converge on

the ball at once

The worst part is I chose not

to go to that game

My husband had been traveling

for two weeks

and he came back

I was..

I was tired of being your mom

But there's nothing you could

have done

I could have held it in my arms

one last time

Sure

you've had the same thought about

Tara

I never should have encouraged

her to come with me

I was overconfident

I thought I'd figured out a way

to hold them off

and I was wrong

If it's any consolation

I hate myself more than you could

possibly hate me

I only blame you because it's

easier than blaming myself

I knew she was going to go even

after I tried to stop her

And I let it happen

You can't blame yourself

Neither of us can

What's the point

Greg

You tried

Nina

You did everything you could

Go home

Will

Go save your son

He's running out of time

What about you

I'm gonna stay

There are other things I can try

I'm not leaving you here

We're in this together

And you got me here

But it didn't work

And I'm not leaving until it does

or until they kill me first

Nina

Look

My car's still in the lot outside

If I get this right

I won't need your help to get

back

I'll be on the road right behind

you

If I don't

there's no point in you dying

here with me

Go

Go beat with Hunter

Son of a bitch

They're machines

They hunt us

but they don't eat us

They don't sleep

They don't breathe

They don't go an inch above 8000

feet

That's not a living creature

That's programming

By who

Good shot

Thanks

Why 8,000 feet

I have no idea

Is the car still running

The radiator blew half a mile

back

God

it felt amazing to kill those

fuckers

You're gonna feel even better

when you raise that pirate flag

and tell the world we have a

way to beat 'em

Dad

Told you I was coming back

I miss you so much

Come on

This is Lost Gulch Refuge

Three years ago

The world we knew disappeared

overnight

We lost our homes

our communities

and most of the people we loved

We still don't know why above

8,000 feet we were safe

But we don't have to play by those

rules anymore

The Reapers tried to take our

planet

They thought we'd die up here

in these mountains

Well

we're still here

Sooner or later

we had to fight them

Might as well be today
