Original subtitles

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 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

A line crosses Elm of Fire Road

near there

It's the last place he saw his

mother

Crow's nests were up here to the

porch they sent a party to fly

below the line before it's your

essentials here

Nobody's come back

so they're still holding out

hope

They asked us to send somebody

out to the pinnacle

but British signers are still

out there

I get it

You trust Nina

But this is a suicide measure

It's not your job to save the

world

Come here

Come here

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

Yeah

As it grows out of the ground

it gets cold

The frost off the ground

it's in the water

Now

it's about time to let it go

You have to let it go at the right

moment

Let go of the drink

It's Hunter's birthday

Mmm

You have my last box of mac and

cheese

I have these to trade

It's not much

but..

That's what I have

Wait

how'd you get this

Come on

you know I got connections

man

Happy birthday

Dad

why don't you use the radio anymore

We'll fight to signal 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 gonna 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

Hey

Zadie

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

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

Well

I felt this 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

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 believed 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 bath

every route

Two days walk

Impossible to stay above the line

the whole time

Hunter's machine

The last filter burnt out

The hospital on Boulder will have

a crane 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 the 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

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 line

fucking mine well

That's your plan

That's a death trap by definition

My company did a big job there

I've walked every inch

I know those tunnels

You don't know anything

You're desperate

Desperate people get killed

8 a.m

Cathedral Point Overlook

It 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

there to do it

You owe me this much for terror

Will

Boulder's 2,000 feet below the

line

Even if you make it there

it'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

Changes zero to 200 yards

so to be able to engage them

from further out

Oh

AP rounds

These are from my own personal

stash

Slowing down at a bit one rate

of 556

Good luck out there

Thanks

You planning on telling me

Huh

You're just gonna run off and

get yourself killed without saying

a word

like Tara

I'm sorry

That was uncalled for

Yeah

it was

Hey

Tam

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 gonna die out there

But you first

I won't be gone low

That's one long shit

I'm coming back

Brothers

We had Altimas to ski area

We might even use the ski lift

Well

what power

They're backup generators

Which won't work after sitting

idle for 992 days

If the batteries aren't drained

I'll get it

brother

So what's in Bolter

Nina

My own lab

I thought you were a professor

at Caltech

Researcher

You can't teach kids

They're too stupid

Caltech students are too dumb

for you

So what's that make us

then

Not Caltech students

Katie

But 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 'em

Uh

by electromagnetism

They generate their own magnetic

field stronger than ours

stronger than any animal on Earth

When they're within a half mile

the needle is drawn to them

So it's two 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

8,000 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 grenade 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

Like you

I'm that dead weight

Um

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

Nina

what

Who you got killed

Do you remember that

Shit

stop it

you dude

I don't like you

Nina

You never have

I don't blame you

Penny

I'm fine

I'm fine

Where'd they all come from

Three years without us

Hold up

I need a minute

Top of the mountain's 8,000 feet

10

15-minute hike

we're safe

Or I can try to get the chairlift

working

We're gonna have to be faster

than that

You're here

Down there

Run

We'll never make it to the line

We have to

He's too far

We have to try to lift

What if the battery's dead

She's right

Cover me

Okay

Come on

It's gonna be 800 feet

You have to jump

Come on

Katie

No

no

no

Jack

Come on

Don't let go

Y'all okay

Yes

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 free for 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 you

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

They 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

it

If it doesn't kill you first

A lot more of us are gonna die

One day we're gonna beat them

Three years

day and night researching it

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 didn't stop

I don't follow

Predators kill to eat

The Reapers killed 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 we're the 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 NICU

This is 400

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 Reaper's will still be

down there

So what's the difference

Another year together

That's the difference

Yeah

When we come out

it'll be close to dark

Can't hit the city at night

There's a ranger station on the

other side

We can stay there until daybreak

What's the plan in there

This is level nine

Lateral

take us down to level eight

We take eight and across the mountain

2.2 miles

We exit at 8,023 feet on the other

side

12 miles west of Boulder

Anything below level eight is

under the line

We exit at 8,023 feet

That's right

How exact is that

Mary

How do you know these tunnels

are perfectly straight

If they don't go out 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 the fucking mine

Fuck

You swear a lot

Fuck you

Katie

That's good

Let's go

What's wrong

See

my earlier comments about the

track are not working underneath

the mountain

No

No

Don't

Don't

It's walled shut

What now

Climb down to level seven

Path pulled out the line well

Yeah

For how long

About a thousand yards

A thousand yards

That's ten 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

Ah

So what do we do when we get to

the bottom

We just start sprinting

We can't sprint across

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

It's 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

Ohh 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

I've sent pictures and times

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

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 bike

What

Please do it

Is that

Oh

my God

They've been so trapped after

the CO2

So what do we do

Don't breathe

There's a way out

No

no

no

no

no

no

Hurry

Go

Come on

Come on

Come on

There's an exit

no

She's gone

She's gone

Oh

my God

We'll get right back into the

tunnel we gave them

What was she thinking

Who's coming back

What's that

Oh my god

it's the water

You still believe in God

I'm stubborn

What'd you ask for

Revenge

Looks okay

Is it a 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 have never brought us

in those mines

Would have been easier scaling

a mountain with no equipment

You want to make your 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

With a conversion of magnesium

oxide

okay the reaper scales they're

impenetrable i think it's because

they're electrically charged

a defense mechanism i think you

think if i'm right a projectile

a bullet bonded with periclase

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

her 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

Don't look

I have to

Where are they

There should be cases of them

in here

What was that

Can't tell

Nothing on the tracker

else could they be

You are

That's one

no question

Hold on

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

Okay

Holy fuck

Now we're trapped

No

we're not

Stairs

What are you doing

I thought I told you to run

I'm not able to listen

Is it dead

It's not moving

yeah but right we should get the

hell out of here the light is

closed there's no time I still

need paraclick magnesium oxide

this is about more than just

your son no such thing as more

to my son how much time did you

just buy yourself six months

a year then you're right back

here again or we can prove that

they can be killed and we fly

that flag over the refuge everyone

else stuck on those mountaintops

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

Thank God

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

I 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

Batteries

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 to Akos

was so tired of being a mom

But there's nothing you could

have done

I could have held him in my arms

but last time

I'm 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

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 gonna 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

All right

You tried

Nina

You did everything you could

Go home well

Go save her 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

Look

my car is 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

I'll be 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 8,000

feet

That's not a living creature

That's programming

By who

A shot

Thanks

Why a thousand 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

Gonna feel even better when you

raise that pirate flag and tell

the world we have a way to beat

'em

Dad

Sore job's 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

We don't have to play by those

rules anymore

The Reapers tried to take our

planet

They saw

We die up here in these mountains

Well

we're still here

Sooner or later

we had to fight them

Might as well be today
