Malorie?

Malorie?

Malorie?

I told you to stay on the boat.

You don’t think.

You do exactly what I say or you die, do you understand me?

If something happens to me, do not try and help me.

Forget about me and try to save yourself.

Do you understand?

Say it, If something happens to me, what do you do?

You save yourself, Say it!

I save myself, -You save yourself.

I can’t trust you.

The end of the world makes us do things.

It’s not the end of the world, - Really?

It sure feels like it.

At the end of my deployment in Iraq, we were stationed at this village

ordered to patrol the streets, make sure everybody was safe.

One morning, we saw

this father walking with his four kids.

So I pulled over to make sure everything was okay

and to make sure he got wherever he was going safely.

Come to find out, he was walking his kids to school.

In the middle of all that shit,

all that chaos, he was walking his kids to school.

So

So we just followed him.

Day after day.

We escorted him.

That just became our routine.

And then, at the end of our time,

he gave me this when it was time to come back home.

Mm.

I like to think he’s still walking his kids to school.

Hello, can anybody hear me, Hello?

This is Malorie, Anybody, can you hear me, Hello?

Can anybody hear me, Hello, Hello, Can anybody hear me?

Hello, Testing, hello?

Hello, is anyone out there, Hello?

Can you hear me, please?

Hello, Testing, - Are you a

Do you have a blindfold on?

Is the blanket behind you still up?

Okay, just come in really, really quickly.

Thank you, Here’s my blindfold, Thank you so much.

It’s okay, Just wait, Wait here, Malorie!

I gotta pee, -Olympia, what are you doing?

Malorie, -What are you doing?

What are you thinking, Get down, - Okay, he’s just scared.

He’s just scared, -Tom, Check the bag.

Get over here, Olympia, Get over here.

Who are you, -Who is this guy?

Tom, I’ve got him, Check the bag, Check the bag.

Who is this, -He’s just scared.

Who are you, -How did he get in here?

Shut up, Olympia, Who are you, -He was scared, okay, I just let him in.

You let a stranger in the house, -I’m sorry.

He was terrified, -Are you a simpleton?

Oh, God, Okay, Please.

My name is Gary.

I live in the city.

When these things came, I got the first train out with some colleagues

because we thought it would be safe.

Please, please just let me stay here, They’re after me.

Who’s after you?

I don’t believe it, He’s lying, -Who’s after you?

It’s obvious he’s lying.

I swear, -Why are you here?

We went to my colleague Carl’s house to lay low.

Everything was fine until they broke in.

Creatures don’t break into people’s homes.

No, not the creatures, these psychos.

These psychos from Northwood.

Northwood, I don’t, Where is that?

It’s a mental institution for the criminally insane.

Well, it’s nice to know they have hall passes now.

And then what?

They took us outside and they forced our eyes open

so that we would have to look at the creatures.

What?

Did you look, -No.

Somehow, my friend Carl managed to tackle one of these people to the ground

and the rest of us made a run for it.

I just kept on running and running and running till I got here.

I’ve been knocking on all the doors and nobody answered.

Until you did, so

Thank you.

Birds.

The scariest thing was, uh, when these people broke in, they

they weren’t wearing blindfolds.

It’s like they didn’t need them.

But they’d been outside, You have to wear blindfolds.

Not these people.

These crazy guys weren’t affected like everyone else.

They wanted to see.

They were happy.

They were so glad.

And they said everyone needed to see.

Wait.

Get up and get out, It’s not an orphanage.

New guy, you had a great visit, We really loved meeting you, Now fuck off.

And anybody who doesn’t agree, you go with him.

Out now, -Douglas, that is murder.

No, This is murder.

Please, -Letting strangers into this house.

Every contact we have had with the outside has brought us death.

Lydia, Greg, Charlie.

If you wanna save people out there,

then you go right through that door and you go do it.

We’re not bringing any more strangers in here.

Not while I’m alive.

I won’t tell you again, get up and get–

Thank you.

You’ll sleep in the garage.

The only reason I opened that door

is ‘cause I remember what it felt like to be outside of it.

If you guys hadn’t let me in, I

I feel like such a burden.

You are no more a burden than I am, okay?

That’s not true, -It is, It is.

You’re not soft like me.

I’m so spoiled.

My parents have always done everything for me and then my husband,

and I just, I got soft from all that love.

Well, I was raised by wolves, so consider yourself lucky.

If something happens to me, I want you to take care of my baby.

Okay?

No, No, -Please.

It’s your baby, -Malorie.

No.

Promise me, -Nothing is gonna happen to you.

It’s your baby.

Promise me, -Nothing–

Please promise me.

Yeah, okay, Yeah, of course.

What is this?

Well, if I was just gonna tell you,

I wouldn’t have bothered putting it in this fancy– this fancy bag.

I got it on the supply run.

It’s so cute, - Mm-hmm.

Thank you, -You’re welcome.

I know it’s not the baby shower you’ve always dreamt of.

No, it’s– It’s perfect.

And you can give it to your little one when she’s old enough, okay?

Thank you.
