All the food's gonna go bad
Yeah, I drew up a list
I'll hit the store before it gets all bought out
Fuck
- Can you save it? - No. No way
No, I gotta start over from scratch
I'll call the studio when the phones get back up,
see if they can extend my deadline
What choice do they have?
You kiddin'?
They could whip up some bad Photoshop poster in an afternoon
They do it all the time Two big heads
I should have brought it downstairs with me last night
Just stupid, I guess
Well, sweetie, you couldn't exactly know
that a tree was gonna come flying through the window
Yeah, I'll hit the hardware store too,
get some plastic sheeting and duct tape
and seal this up before it gets dark, you know
Order in some new glass
Oh, you know what? That was your..
that was your grandfather's tree, the one he planted
Used to play in that tree
It's just stuff, though
You know, we're safe That's all that counts
Yeah
Mom, Dad, you gotta come see!
Hey, Billy, take it easy, all right?
I really don’t want you running all over the place
But you gotta come look
The boathouse is all bashed! Holy crap!
Billy
Sorry, Mom, but you just gotta come! Come on!
Come on
Having spoken, the Doomsayer departs
Come on!
How do you two always manage to make me laugh?
You have incredibly low standards
Let's go, uh, see the damage
No
- Norton's tree - Yeah
You mean the dead one I've been asking him
to take down for three years before it finally blew over?
That tree?
- Really got smooshed - You ain't kiddin'
Look at that
What is it, Daddy?
Mist
- On the lake? - We've had mist on the lake before
Coming off the mountain like that?
Two fronts meeting,
left over from the storm, something like that
You sure?
Honey, I'm not the weatherman
Why don't you take Billy, get him dressed
I'll take him to town with me
Okay Where you going?
I'm gonna go have a little chat with our neighbour about his tree
Hon
Don’t worry, I'm not gonna punch him in the nose
You know what he's gonna say
He's gonna say, "Sue me," which, I don't know, maybe we should
Honey, one property dispute with this guy
is enough to last me a lifetime
I'm gonna ask for his insurance information
Okay
- That's all - Yeah
Ohh! Mother fucker!
Aw, shit!
Ohh, you mother fucker!
Cocksucker!
Turn on
Full choke
Pull five choke
I guess you’ve seen the..
boathouse
Yeah, and..?
Nothin'
Just think we should trade insurance info, you know?
That's all
Oh, my insurance guy's gonna love me
Oh
Shit The 1980
I was gonna bring the station wagon, but
I don't know, the weather was so beautiful coming out of New York,
I just.. You know, top down
I'm sorry, man I mean it
Sincerely
- That's nice of you to say - No, that car was cherry
I hate to see it like that
Okay, I'll tell you what,
I'll find my insurance guy's number, I'll bring it by later
- That okay? - No problem
So, uh, David..
you’re not heading into town today by any chance, are you?
Well, CMP's out in force
Maybe we'll get our power back
I know Some storm, huh?
One for the books, yeah
For a moment there last night,
I thought we were gonna take off and head for Oz
WZON is off the air,
but Portland's still broadcasting
Daddy, look
Ah
guys from the base
- From up the mountain? - Uh-huh
The Arrowhead Project?
Well, you’re a local
Any idea what they do up there?
Missile defence research
You know, I'm sure you’ve heard the stories
Oh, sure
The woman at the Laundromat say that, uh,
they have a crashed flying saucer up there with frozen alien bodies
Right Miss Edna Yeah
Miss Tabloid
"I Had Bigfoot's Baby"
"Satan's Face Appears in Oil Well Fire"
You know, real reliable stuff
Well, they're in a hurry
Maybe their power's out too
Huh Still no signal
Why don't you go ahead? I'm gonna try Steph on a pay phone
Can I go with Mr Norton, Daddy?
Sure, if you promise to hold his hand, I guess
Yeah - Yeah
Here's a list
- Sure - Okay?
Meet you guys in there
Hold hands
I'm sorry I didn't know it was your sister
That looks so freaky!
Hmm
- Sally, hey - Hey, Mr Drayton on
You guys look jammed up
Yeah, well, half the staff didn't show, plus the power's out
Oh, no What, no backup generator?
Only to keep the food cold
Everything else, welcome to the Dark Ages,
and bring your check book
Hey, Thursday night, Steph and I want a date night
- Baby-sit? - Heck, yeah I'm there
Oh, my God
The storm
Every body's stockin' up Been like this since we opened
Crappy day, huh?
Eh, every one's a little pissed off this morning
'Morning, Mrs Carmody
With lines like these, I don't know how good it is,
but I guess we'll have to make do
- Keep your head down, pal - I know it
Hey, champ
Your wife should be a doctor
She could make a fortune in Manhattan with this handwriting
Yeah, it takes some getting used to
Why don't you get your stuff? I'll meet you at the checkout
Okay, done
Hey, David, thanks for helping me out today
Are you and Mr Norton gonna be friends now, Daddy?
Oh, I don't know
"Friends" might be stretching it a little
I guess you’re not mad at each other any more
I guess not
And that's a start, huh?
I'm sorry, ma'am, the registers are down
The power outage got us too
Hopefully we'll have power up pretty soon
- The bus leaves in 30 minutes - We'll make it, okay?
You guys get the goodies I'll wait in line
I need some change on register five
Good morning, Ms Reppler
Hello, Ms Reppler
Well, hello to you, Billy Drayton on
How'd you hold up in the storm?
We had a tree come through the picture window last night,
right in my studio
And the boathouse got all smooshed Mr Norton's tree fell on it
Ouch
- Yeah Sorry to hear that
How'd you guys make out?
Oh, we're fine It's the listings I'm worried about
At the very least, I'll bet every one of our "For Sale" signs fell over
We had damage at the school, wouldn't you know?
That's what we get for not fixing that roof when we should've,
but with funds being cut every year
You'd think educating children
would be more of a priority in this country,
but you’d be wrong
Government's got better things to spend our money on,
like corporate handouts and building bombs
Daddy, is there a fire? Is Mommy all right?
I'm sure she's fine Don’t worry, okay?
Mind what you’re doing, Sally
Oh, come on, we got 10 days' leave
Check our papers
Look, I told you, all leaves are cancelled
I don't know why
I gotta go check the pharmacy out
You three men meet me back at the Jeep in five minutes
That's an order
Shit, man! Another half an hour, and we'd have been gone
Oh, my God!
Something in the mist!
Something in the mist
took John Lee!
Dan, catch your breath
Something in the mist took John Lee
I could hear him screaming
Shut the doors! Shut the doors! My God!
Daddy, I'm scared Can we go home?
Don't go out there
There's something in the mist It took John Lee
Screw that! I'm gettin' in my car
Mister, no!
Please hold me
It's okay, it's okay
It's a pollution cloud The mills down in Rumford
Some kind of chemical explosion Has to be
What is it?
What's going on?
It's death
Stay down!
Daddy!
You okay?
That was an earthquake
I tell you, the goddamn mills blew up!
Is every one okay? Is any one hurt?
Every body just stay put, okay? Just stay inside the store
I can't I can't stay here I gotta get home to my kids
No No, don't go out there
It's death out there It's the end of days
Stop it, okay? Stop it
Please, every body, every body just relax, okay?
He's right Let's just stay cool
Let's just try to figure out what happened
I'm sorry, I.. I can’t just stay here I have to get home to my kids
Ma'am, no, you can't go out there
Could be a poisonous gas cloud
Didn't you hear that man screaming?
I agree Let's stay here until we figure it out
You're not listening!
I can't stay here
Wanda's looking after little Victor She's only 8
Sometimes she forgets she's supposed to be watching him
I told them I'd only be gone a few minutes
She's only 8
For their sakes,
don't
Well, isn't anybody gonna help me?
Shh It's okay, pal
Won't somebody here see a lady home?
You?
It's okay, buddy - You?
Ma'am, please, I got my own boy to worry about
I hope you all rot in hell
Ma'am, please, wait until..
Okay, let's start cleaning up, okay?
Get the spilled bottles, broken glass, stuff like that
Aisle three has medical supplies
It's okay It's okay
All right, easy, champ Come on
All right, hey, hey, hey
Can't keep crying like this, pal
Come on!
Come on, you’re gonna hurt yourself
- Come on, are you all right? - I want Mommy!
All right, I know you want Mommy
All right, just try to breathe
Just try to breathe, okay?
Just try to breathe, pal That's okay
It's all right
I haven't seen him suck his thumb like this since he was 2 years old
He's in shock
I think we all are
You haven't met
Amanda Dunfrey
She's new in town as of this semester
Teaches third grade
and the specialed kids, now that Mosher's retired
She's wonderful The kids love her
And David's an artist
He does movie posters and such
And me
Lord, I'm babbling away like some old biddy at a tea party!
My nerves are jangled, I guess
Boy settle down?
How is he?
Still hot
Why don't I get him some aspirin
- Aisle three - Okay
Thanks
How's Dan?
His nose stopped bleedin'
He's calmer now Somebody gave him a Valium
Can't believe the way he ran in here
Never seen him like that
I need something to cover my boy up Got any blankets?
Furniture pads Loadin' dock
Gonna keep checkin' on people If you need anything, just holler
You bet Sally, you mind?
Oh, I'd love to. I really should help him clean up
- I'll take him - Okay
Daddy, don't go
No, I'll be gone two seconds, Big Bill Come on, I'm gonna get your blanket
Mrs Reppler's here,
and so is Mrs Turman
I'll be close by, okay?
- Okay - Don’t worry, I'm not far Okay?
Let me look at you
Hmm?
Wanna lie down?
Yeah
There you go
Soon as it blows away, we can walk out of here safe & free,
but we have to be smart about it
First thing we need to do is keep our wits about us
and find out what’s happened
Well, how we gonna do that, my man?
We've got no phone signal, got no radio
I'm sure they're working on those problems as we speak
It stands to reason that restoring communications
would be their top priority
Jeez!
Oh, shit.
Ow!
Shit!
God damn it!
Ow! Ow!
Bitch!
It's obvious that we’re..
we're in some kind of natural disaster here
Ain't nothin' obvious about this sonavabitch from where I sit
There ain't nothin' natural about it either
That's right
It's Judgment Day, and it's come round at last
There is nothing more obvious or natural than that
Ohh, fuck, now
You've done that to yourself,
by a life of sin and dissolution
Hey, whoa! David!
Hey, you guys hear that?
The generator? We're just gonna check it out
No, no, I turned the generator off
It.. it was backing up
- N-nobody else heard that sound? - What sound?
I don't know, like a weird noise,
back there in the dark
Like something was, like, pressing against the door
Did you hear it before the lights went out, or after?
No, only after
After, but, look, I heard it, okay?
- Nobody's calling you a liar - That's what it sounds like
No, no, no, no Now, don't be that away, Mr Drayton
You had a scare, no doubt
What say we all go check it out?
Here
Oooopf!
Man.
It's pretty rank in here
- Myron, go check it out - All right
Go on, fire it up
All right!
Shut it off!
Holy crow, don't that stink!
Something's got the exhaust vent
plugged up from the outside
You get it running long enough to raise that door a little,
I'll go out and clear whatever's blockin' it
No, no, you can't do that
Why not? It's an electric door, right?
Well, yeah, but it may not be wise to send him out there
Okay, I'll do it
No, look, it's not about who goes out there
What, don't you think I can do it?
Hey! I want to go! It was my idea
Well, wait, just stop, okay?
J-Jim, right?
Myron? You guys are..
you, well, you don't seem to understand,
or you’re try in' real hard not to
This is no ordinary mist, okay?
You open that door, and something gets in here
Like what?
Well, like whatever made that noise I heard
Are you guys being will fully dense?
Mr Drayton on, you’ll pardon me,
but I'm not convinced that you heard anything
I mean, we're not hearing anything now, right?
Anybody?
See?
Now, I know, I know.. you’re a big shot artist
with connections in New York and Hollywood and all like that,
but that don't make you better than anybody else, not in my book
Hey, I didn't say that
Nor do I like being talked down to or called stupid
by a guy who went to college, just 'cause he's got the jitters
Fellas, it doesn't even matter about the generator
The food'll keep without it
Kid, I'm gonna start the motor, you raise the door,
and you yell out when you got enough room
Yeah Okay, good
Wait
This is..
You guys gonna let this kid risk his life
over a generator that doesn't even matter?
Would you just shut the fuck up already?
Norm!
Listen, Mr Drayton on, I tell you what
The next time you got somethin' to say,
you count your teeth,
because I'm sick to death of your bullshit
All right?
Come on, Myron
This is crazy! Leave 'em be
What am I, impugning their manhood or something?
Listen, they've lost their sense of proportion
What's going on here?
Out there in the market, they were scared and confused
In here, there's a problem they can solve,
so they're goddamn gonna solve it
Ready, kid? - Let's rock
Norm, come on
Don't, man
It's a mistake
Pussy
Go up!
So
any boogeymen?
Pretty scary, ain't it, Norm?
Yeah, right
Norm
Norm!
What the fuck!
Get it off! Get it off!
Get this friggin' thing off me!
Get it off! Help me!
Help me! Help me!
Jesus!
There's more! There's more!
Somebody help me
What the fuck are you waitin' for?
Hang on!
Hold him still! Hold him still!
Oh, Jesus!
Shit! Oh, shit!
Oh, shit!
David, it's no good!
Start the generator
Hey, I'm sorry
I mean, how the..
how the hell was I supposed to know what you meant?
You said you heard something
How was I supposed to know what you meant?
You should've said what you meant better
I don't know, I thought maybe it was a big bird or something
You got that kid killed!
Did you get a good look at it? Huh?
Did you get a good look at what you did?
- Huh? - David!
Don't hit him any more! Doesn't solve anything!
You two assholes, you got that kid killed!
And I got his fuckin' blood on me!
Okay, I'm done
Okay
What's next?
Kill the generator
That's the first thing
I'm sorry
Jesus Christ! Oh, God!
I'm.. I'm sorry about the kid
Oh, God Oh, God Oh, God
We oughtta get out of here
Hey, we didn't twist his arm
Yeah, he's a fuckin' kid He's supposed to be stupid
What's your excuse, huh?
Get outta here
Go back in the market Stay by the door
Don't say anything, to anybody
Not yet
Shit
David? Need a little light here
We have to tell 'em
The people in the market, we have to stop 'em going outside
They won't believe us
They have to
I'm not sure I believe it I was here.
W- what we saw was impossible
You know that, don't you?
I mean, what..
what do we say?
How do we convince them?
Ollie, what the hell were those tentacles even attached to?
Oh, my God! Are.. are you all right?
Shh! Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not my blood I'm fine
W- what the hell happened?
I'll explain Give me a minute, okay?
I need to deal with something first
Please, I've got to..
I can't let Billy see me like this He's scared enough
Just give me a minute Keep him distracted Okay?
Okay
Hey, look, I'm sorry about Norm
Me too
I mean, I ain't makin' excuses, I'm just sayin'
Look, we need to tell people
No need to say how it went down or anything like that,
but, uh, we're in the deep shit here
People need to know
What about the out-of-towners?
We got plenty of them in the store Where do we even start?
Brent Norton? That windbag?
He's an important attorney in New York
That fellow could be on the bench one day
Counts a lot with people of this town, or.. or any here
Yeah, that's right - Do it quick, David
We've got to discuss how we’re gonna stop that thing getting in here
W- wait What do you mean getting in?
You shut the loading door
Yeah, but the entire front of the store is plate glass
Jesus Christ
I was wondering where you’d gotten to
Um, listen
that guy that came in here, the one with the bloody nose
they're.. they're.. We saw tentacles.
Ain't goin' very well, is it?
Unh-unh
- You what? - Come here, you’ve got..
Come here
Tell him
It's true
Tentacles Yeah
Um, gentlemen, um
I'm sorry, I.. I'm just not that stupid
I mean, what do you take me for?
I'm shocked
I'm shocked It's pretty tasteless
using what's happening here to try to make me look like an idiot
No, no, that's not what's going on here
Look, come back to the loading dock, okay?
I'll show you
Blood A chunk of tentacle on.. on the floor
No
No? What do you mean no?
No We've got real problems to deal with here,
and this pathetic attempt at a joke
has gone far enough
Mr Norton, what reason could we possibly have..?
Oh, please! Please!
This is pay back for the lawsuit that I filed against him last year,
and you guys are backing him up
So winning wasn't enough, huh?
You wanted to humiliate me some more,
show me a rubber snake while these.. these hicks
stand around laughing their asses off
- Watch who you callin' a hick! - Myron! Myron!
- Hey, hey, fuck..! Mr Norton
I swear, you have got us all wrong
You're not too crazy about, um, out-of-towners, are you?
I only spend my money, and I pay my taxes here,
and I have seen you talking behind my back
Y'all stick together
Well, don't I feel foolish?
I actually thought you were being kind to me today,
and, well, thanks for setting me straight
And I'm glad that tree fell on your boathouse, you know that?
Glad Smashed it in pretty good, didn't it? Fantastic
Now, all of y'all, just stay out of my way
I know you’re scared, man I'm scared too
- Lives are at stake around here - David..
Okay, my son's life Now, I need you.
Brent, please, get your head out of your ass
All right, I'll drag you back there if I have to
Come here
David, get your goddamn hands off of me!
I'll sue your ass again!
Sue your ass, and this time you’ll go to jail!
This man assaulted me
He assaulted me You were witness to it
This man's crazy He's crazy
No
He isn't I wish he was, but he isn't
E- every one in the store, you want to come back here?
There's something you need to hear It concerns you all
Okay
W- w-wait I don't know what you people think you’re doing
You're drinking?
For Christ's sake, Ollie
Do you want me to report you? You want to lose your job?
Look, I'm gonna be taking down names, starting with you
And I am prepared to file a police report
- Fine, Bud, write down your names - I will
But in the meantime, shut the fuck up and listen
This is Mr David Drayton on
You need to hear what he's got to say if you’re thinking about leaving
go hang out with the ladies, all right?
Listen, don't be scared
It's okay
Okay
This is how it is
Now, I don't know what this mist is
but there are things in it, and they're dangerous, like Dan said
That's right
That's exactly right
What kind of things?
I never saw it It happened too fast
I got knocked down
Five of us went back in the loading dock
It was Jim, Myron, Ollie
me
Norm, the bagboy
- We opened the door - Where's Norm?
So Norm could go out and clear the vent for the generator
Something come out of the mist and took him
Took him?
What do you mean?
Just killed him
I mean dragged him off
Now, guys, I don't know what these things are
All we saw were tentacles
Tentacles?
Tentacles, he say
Tentacles from Planet X
It's a lie, you know
I mean, all these people do is just lie each other up
It's a pile of shit
Of course it's a lie Of course it's a lie
It's lunacy
From the look of it, the tentacles are coming out of the beer cans
All right, uh, Bud, don't take our word for it
Go look
Over there
What the hell is that?
It appears we may have a problem of some magnitude here
Yeah, just keep 'em in line Thanks
Let me
help these people
Let me..
let me preach your word
Let me shine your light,
'cause they're not all bad
They can't all be bad
Some can be saved, can't they?
Yes
Some can be brought
to heaven's holy gates through your grace
I have to believe that,
though I know most will swim in the lake of fire forever
If I can save a few
even one
then my life will have counted for something
I will have pulled my weight
I will have earned my place at your side
I will have served a purpose here on this earth
Hello?
What?
I just need to use the bathroom
Oh
Okay Well, then, have at it
Ma'am
I.. I just want you to know that it's okay..
being scared, I mean..
and, well, if you need a friend..
you know, someone to talk to
I have a friend..
God up above I talk to him every day
Don't you condescend to me
I'm sorry?
Not ever You don't mock me
That's not what I was doing
Well, I'll tell you what..
the day I need a friend like you,
I'll just have my self a little squat and shit one out
Maybe you do believe this
Maybe they're not lies, they're delusions Whatever
Uh, the fact remains, the evidence here is flimsy
- It's bordering on ludicrous - Hey, this isn't a courtroom
You're not arguing a case,
and you’re doing nothing but damage, talking the way you are
And you can throw as much cow's blood around the loading dock as you want to
You still haven't fooled any one
Leave it alone, David
You can't convince some people there's a fire
even when their hair is burning
Denial is a powerful thing
Well, keep talking
I'll have no part of it, nor would any thinking person
Keep thinking, Mr Lawyer
There's no defence against the will of God
There's no court of appeals in hell
There's no defence here, either
Not even with all the fertilizer in the world,
not even if you stack it as high as you can
It's still just bags of shit, isn't it?
Those of you who want to discuss this thing rationally
to find a means of rescue are welcome to join me
Those who want to stack dog food,
knock yourselves out
We got those windows taped up as best we could
It should help
Yeah, think so?
Duct tape and dog food bags
That bad?
It's not good
There's none so blind as those who will not see
Open your eyes
Let the scales fall away
This has all been written
Revelations, chapter 15:
"And the temple was filled with smoke
"from the glory of God
"and from his power,
"and no one could enter the temple
until the seven plagues of the seven angels were completed"
Well, what are you saying?
What are you proposing?
That we all prepare
to meet our Maker
Oh, prepare to meet shit!
Lady, your tongue must be hung in the middle
so that it can waggle at both ends
The end time has come,
not in flames, but in mist
Come here!
Easy! Back off!
How about if your ass prepares to meet my size-10 work boot
How about that?
Hey, there's no call for that
Myron, please, calm your friend down
I'm trying to save your soul, you stupid man
- Doubters will doubt till the end - It's okay
No, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
A monstrosity did pull that poor boy away
Things in the mist.. do you doubt?
Do you?
Then go out
Go out and say, "How do you do"
Shut up, lady
For God's sakes
Look, you’ll have to stop now You're scaring the children
They should be scared
Oh, yes, they should
Their beautiful, pure little minds
have been corrupted with lies
Lies
All this talk of a modern God,
or no God
There is one God
The God of the Israelites
And he is a stern and vengeful God,
and we have been mocking him far too long,
and now he demands retribution in blood
It is time to declare yourselves
Take sides..
the saved and the damned
Read the Good Book It calls for expiation
- Blood! - What?
Blood
Little Normie was first,
and now God calls the rest of us
The bill is due
It must be paid
As Abraham prepared to sacrifice his only son
to prove his love for God, so..
Enough
- Ohh - Another down payment
A few more pennies in the jar
Now, that's nice, see
I can't smack her, but it's okay for you
I- I'm sorry every body,
but this lady's perspective is a little too Old Testament for my taste
They'll come for you
Maybe tonight, when darkness comes
They'll come tonight, and they'll take someone else
See if they don't
And when they do,
you will cry to God,
and you will beg Mother Carmody to show you the way
That's fine
But until then, if you don't shut up,
I'll wrap this tape around your mouth
You just try it, Ollie Weeks
And you, bitch
you hit me again
if you dare
You'll be on your knees to me before this is through
Those of you who aren't local should know
that Mrs Carmody is known in town for being
unstable
No shit What was your first clue?
Shh
Hi
What's up, little dude?
How come your friends don't come get us?
They got tanks and stuff, right?
Why can't you just call 'em?
Phones don’t work
But don't you got, like, a radio?
Hey, champ, what's going on?
I want their friends to come rescue us
They would if they could, pal They're stuck here just like us
But..
Shh Now, guys, we could use a hand over there
Yeah, sure thing
Troop, off your asses
You all right? - I don't like that scary lady
Oh, man, I don't either
But you know what?
Maybe she's scared too
You think?
You think Mommy's okay?
Billy
I'm sorry about the times I was bad to her
Aw, hey
Mommy loves you very much
And I'll bet she's fine
And I promise you,
I'm gonna do everything I can to get us back to her
- Okay? - 'Kay
- Yeah? - 'Kay
So, we can use the charcoal fluid and the mops
to make torches
And we've got knives and stuff, God knows
This maybe a silly question, Bud, but
do you happen to have a gun in the store?
Here? No Please
This.. this isn't Los Angeles
I've got a shotgun in my truck
I could try for it if you want
Oh, God, I don't think that'd be a good idea, Mr Cornell
Hold on
This gun, um
my husband's idea
He's away on business a lot
It's not even loaded
Ain't much use unloaded, ma'am
Um
You know how to use that?
Well, I shot it once on a pistol range
Hit the target a few times
So, we got a gun
Anybody know how to shoot it?
Well, I mean?
I do
You?
Ollie Please
Some target shooting
State champion in '94
You're crazy if you go out there! Let us pass!
Let us pass, please!
Let's just talk this thing through
We have, and we've made our decision We're leaving
Hey, Mr Mackey's gonna barbecue some chicken on the gas grill
Why don’t we just sit down and just..
What, and let you keep on talking?
No, I've been in far too many courtrooms to fall for that
You've already psyched out half a dozen of my people already
Your people?
What kind of talk is that? They're people, that's all
Now.. now listen, every one
We are experiencing some kind of disaster
I don't know whether it's manmade or natural,
but I do know that it's definitely not supernatural
or biblical, and, no offense, Mrs Carmody,
but the only way we're gonna help ourselves
is to seek rescue
We're going out
- Brent, look - I'm not discussing this any further
I know I just want to ask a favor
Tie this around your waist
What for?
It'll let us know you got at least 300 feet
I'll do it
Are you throwing in with them?
Me? No thanks
I think your man there is a little too tightly wound
Gonna get somebody killed
But I'm thinkin' we could use that shotgun of yours
I saw where you parked when I pulled in
Red pickup, right? Far entrance?
Son, you got brass balls
The shells are in the glove compartment
Drive it back
All right
Just see they're paying out this line
Line's up, I'll cut her loose,
just so you understand
Yeah
You sure there's no way I can talk you out of this?
David
there's nothing out there Nothing in the mist
What if you’re wrong?
Then, I guess
the joke would be on me after all
We're gonna send back help
You'll die out there All of you
Hey, crazy lady, I believe in God too
I just don't think he's the bloodthirsty asshole
you make him out to be
Well, you take that up with the devil when you run into him
You just chat it over at your leisure
Well, let's strike out toward the center of town
Keep it loose
Nice and easy
Keep going
Look
It's going
They're doing good
Put it down!
Pull!
Oh, my God! I'm slippin'!
Pull! Back up! Back up! Back up!
Get it off!
Oh, my God
Aw, sh.. Blood!
Awww, sh..!
Oh, my God!
Cut the rope!
Shut the door!
Now do you see?
Now do you believe?
About a half-hour of day light left
guys, how's it going with these work lights?
We're gettin' 'em rigged up all right
Yeah, check it out
All right, all right Save it, save it
These batteries ain't topped up
You turn the lights on, it's gonna drain 'em quick
How quick?
- Five minutes, maybe ten - Yeah, if that
Okay, emergencies only
If something gets in the store
Holy Jesus, you scared the shit outta me
Oh, Sally, I'm sorry, really
I thought I'd come in and say hi and see how you were holding up
- Hi - Hi
Barely How about you?
I'm worried about my folks, I guess
You know, they live up on Shorm Road
That's less than five miles from here
How 'bout yours?
Well, they're out of town right now
They're at my aunt's in Boston, so
That's lucky That means they're okay
I hope so
So
how soon you shipping out?
Uh, couple weeks
Scared about going over there?
Yeah
- Hey, Wayne? - Hmm?
How come you never asked me out?
We flirted all through high school I know you like me
So how come?
I'm stupid, I guess
Oh, shit! I'm sorry
Don't be I just..
I just didn't really want it to happen like this, you know?
Some shitty locker room at work
Can we just stay in here a while, then?
I mean, just.. just you and me
The parking lot lamps turned on
They're on a timer
Must be a different one that's live
Maybe we could tie into them somehow,
get some electricity in here
That'd mean walking out the door
Gaaaahhhh! God!
Oh, my God! Oh, my God!
David! David!
You sure?
Look!
My God
Are those bugs?
Not like any I've ever seen
"They came out of the smoke,
"locusts upon the earth,
"and unto them was given power
even as the scorpions of the earth have power"
Wow
Look at those stingers
Dear God
Holy shit!
Myron, get the ones in the back!
God, I think they're attracted to the light
Look out, look out, look out!
The light! Douse the light!
Look out! Look out!
Move! Move!
Light, light, light, light, light!
"And there came a voice from the temple
"saying to the seven angels,
"'Go your ways
and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth"'
Ollie, the glass is gonna give!
Shit!
Oh, my God, they turned on all the lights!
Jim! Myron! Fire!
Fire! Lighter! Douse the lights!
Come on, come on!
Sally, look out!
No!
Let me see, let me see Let me see, sweetheart, let me see
No, you’re gonna be okay You're gonna be okay
Let me see Let me see
You're fine You're gonna be okay You're gonna be okay
Give me the lighter! Put it on fire!
Come on!
Goddamn childproofing sons of bitches!
Oh, shoot it! Shoot it!
Shoot it! Shoot it!
I can't! I'll smash the window!
God!
Oh, God! Ohh!
Go! Go!
Get down!
Shit!
Ollie, you want these lights on or off?
Leave 'em on
Oh, God!
Kill it!
Bring torches! Bring something to keep 'em out!
Come on
Sally!
Where are the goddamn extinguishers?
Get it! Get it! Get it!
Bring torches We need torches at the window!
Plug that hole!
Dad!
Down! Down! Lay down!
Ohh
My life
my life for you, your will be done
Daddy!
Bugs! Daddy!
- Nooooo! Billy! - Daddy!
- Billy! - Daddy!
Billy!
Dad!
Billy, come back here
- Dad! - Billy, please!
Billy!
Come on, let's move it!
Somebody please come over here and help
Here's some tape!
I'm right here I'm right here Don’t worry
Hurry up with the blankets!
It hurts so bad! Please!
It hurts so bad!
Block it up here
Get me some more bags!
Did we get 'em? Did we get 'em all?
She was right
She said that it would happen like this
She said that they would come at night
She told us someone would die
Mommy
Ohh, shh, shh, shh It's okay
It's okay, it was just a dream
It's just a bad dream
I want my mommy
I know
I know Of course you do
- Shh I wanna go home
Just sleep
Everything'll be better in the morning
Think he likes you
Well, I hate that I had to lie to him
You have kids?
No
I always wanted to, but
things haven't been working out
Right now I'm thinking maybe that's for the best
I saw creatures fly into the store tonight that..
they shouldn't exist
I keep thinking I'm gonna wake up in a rubber room
You're not alone in that
We're all right there with you
This isn't gonna end, is it?
David
It's Joe He's getting worse
Joe
How you holdin' up, partner?
David is that you?
Yeah, pal, how you doin'?
It's bad He's bad
Didn't know anything could hurt like this
If you guys can't help me
you.. you gotta end it, okay?
Ollie's got that gun, right?
Right? - No. No way
You can't fuck with me on this, bro
Not with me like this
I'll do it
Just give me the gun
Hey, hey Shh
- We're not there yet, okay? - Oh, please!
Joe, now, listen
Pal
we're gonna work something out
I just need you to hang in a little longer, okay?
Can we do that?
Stay with him I'll be back
Hattie, I need to go to the bathroom Will you watch Billy?
Hattie
See anything?
The last of those bugs went away about four
Dawn's coming
What's on your mind?
It's Joe
We don't get him on some serious antibiotics,
he's gonna die of infection
Plus he needs painkillers in the worst way
All.. all.. all we got here is liquor and aspirin
You.. you thinkin' about goin' to that pharmacy next door?
Irene Reppler say they've got Silvadene..
you know, the stuff they use in burn wards
She knows where they keep it
Slow down
You can't actually be thinkin' of doin' this
I'm also thinkin' beyond that
We have to get out of here
I mean permanently.
Why? We got plenty to eat!
What happens when one of those things decides to break through this window?
I'm talkin' one of the big ones, like the one that killed Norm
Yeah, and that flaming torch idea didn’t work so well, did it?
We almost burned the goddamn store down
It's Hattie
Here?
All right, gently, now Gently
One two three
I don't know how long she was there like that,
lying there next to us
I thought she was sleeping
I got my 4-wheel drive
It's out there
Y- you’re talking about leaving?
Well, we
should hit the pharmacy first
We gotta bring back supplies for the injured
I mean, if we don't,
Joe Eagleton's gonna die, and we can't let that happen
But after that
look, my Land Cruiser can hold eight people
I say we drive south as far as the fuel takes us
and try to get clear of this mist
That's it?
That's the plan?
- That's what I got - No, you can't mean it
Not after what happened to Norton and his group
No, no, no Amanda, think.
Norton got over 200 feet from this store
That's how much rope play ed out
I'm parked half that distance from here
But who knows how far this mist has spread?
It could be the entire eastern seaboard
Yeah, it could be the whole world, for all we know
Wouldn't make us any less dead, now, would it?
We have one gun
- How many rounds? We got ten left
Ten rounds Jesus
Okay, so ten
Want another reason to get the hell out of here?
I'll give you the best one
Her
Mrs Carmody
She's our very own Jim Jones
I'd like to leave before people start drinking the Kool-Aid
He's right
Flakier people get, the better she's gonna look
No, I don't buy that It's obvious she's nuts
Look, a few people maybe, but..
No, I count four She's preachin' to 'em right now
By noon, she'll have four more
By tomorrow night, when those things come back,
she'll have a congregation,
and then we can start worryin' about who she's gonna sacrifice
to make it all better
Hmm?
You, Amanda?
My little boy?
He's right
You don't have much faith in humanity, do you?
None whatsoever
I can't accept that
People are basically good, decent
My God, David, we're a civilized society
Sure, as long as the machines are workin'
And you can dial 9-1-1,
but you take those things away, you throw people in the dark,
you scare the shit out of them,
no more rules,
You’ll see how primitive they get
You scare people badly enough,
you can get 'em to do anything
They'll turn to whoever promises a solution,
or whatever.
Ollie, please, back me up here
I wish I could
As a species, we're fundamentally insane
Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides
and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another
Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
Oh, Jesus, that's just
wrong
Look, nobody has to decide anything now, okay?
First things first..
the pharmacy
That'll be our test run
Okay?
It's all right, Big Bill
I'm gonna bring you back some comic books
I don’t want them
I want you to stay here
I won't be gone long
Just.. just next door
Hey, you’ll be safe
Daddy..
Daddy, there are things out there
Things..
Yeah There's a lot less of 'em in the daytime
They'll wait
They'll wait in the mist where you can't see 'em,
and then when you go and can't get back in
they'll come and eat you up!
- Shh - Daddy, don't go!
I'll be back
Big Bill
I promise
I'll be back, and then I'm gonna take you home
All right?
Together, we're going home
If something happens, anything at all,
you cut and run
You get your ass back in here, for your boy's sake
If something happens to me, I want you to take care of Billy
best as you can, and long as you can
Land Cruiser's yours now
You.. you get him out of here
You just keep drivin'
Where do you think you’re going, Mr David Drayton on?
Are you so anxious to make your boy an orphan?
My boy is no concern of yours
Listen up
We're going to the pharmacy
We're gonna bring back some supplies
Also, there maybe people trapped over there who need help
Listen, folks, listen!
We're not gonna take any chances
If there's any trouble,
we'll come straight back here to the supermarket
And bring the fiends of hell down on our heads, thank you
She's right
You'll make 'em notice us
You'll make 'em come
Why can't you just leave well enough alone?
Lady, this what you call '"well enough"?
You wanna stop us?
You better explain to Bobby here
why we're not bringin' painkillers and medicine back for his brother
I'm goin', even if I have to go alone
You'll die out there, young man
You'll walk out that door and be torn to shreds,
and then your hell-bound pride will have them come get the rest of us
Yes, they'll come back for all of us, just like this good lady said
Do you want that to happen, people?
No! No! No! No!
Well, it is this kind of hubris
that brought the wrath of God in the first place
This kind of pride and defiance of..
Shut up, you miserable buzzard!
You old bitch!
Stoning people who piss you off is perfectly okay
They do it in the Bible, don't they?
And I got lots of peas
David, please, if you want to go, now's the time
How 'bout it, Army?
Any help from the armed forces?
I'll go
Jim Grondin
I had you in school, didn't I?
Yes, me and my sister Pauline
Pair of underachievers
After you, Jim
Yes, ma'am
Oh, shit.
That it? That's every body?
Every body that's goin'
Yep - Okay
Single file, one by one, all right?
Let's get this thing over with
Let's go
After you Yes
Stay together
You know what?
Mrs Carmody, you’re not helping
Shut the hell up! - You shut up!
Save the batteries
Shit.
They left the doors propped open
Think something got in?
Let's just get what we need,
get the hell outta here
Yeah Let's do that
The meds are over at the end there,
in the cubicle
Will you not do that?
I'm sorry I'm sorry.
Oh, God.
Where's that Silvadene?
It's over behind David
In the fridge Check there
Silvadene Got it
- Good - Ollie, what are we lookin' for?
Penicillin Yeah
Any strong antibiotics
Yeah
Pain meds like Vicodin or OxyContin
Shh! - OxyContin!
Hydrochloride?
Penicillin
guys
Hurry it up I hear something
What?
Somethin' fuckin' weird
Oh, God
Oh, God!
No Oh, no
Oh, nooooo
Oh, fuck.
Look There's another one
Oh, my God No, no, no
Oh, no, no
guys, let's get out of here now.
Holy shit!
Shit! Shit! Oh, shit!
I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Help me!
Good Lord! Help him!
Son of a bitch!
This stuff ain't comin' off!
Oh, man! He's glued to this fuckin' post!
It's our fault
It's all our fault
It's really stuck
God, I can feel 'em!
I can feel 'em!
Oh, my God! Jesus!
Oh, my God
I..
There's more!
There's another one! Hit it!
What the hell is that stuff?
Ollie! One over there!
Ollie, there!
Got it!
There, there, there! Shoot! Shoot!
Shit!
See 'em?
Bobby!
Hold on, man! Hold on!
- Hold on, man! - Cut the strand!
Help me!
Let's get out of here!
- A belt! Who's got a belt? - I got a belt!
I got him, I got him Hold on
Pull it tight!
Look! Look!
Light!
God!
We gotta get outta here! Come on!
Let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go, let's go!
Watch it, watch it, watch it!
Let's get out of here!
All right, go, go, go, go, go, go! Come on!
Oh, my God!
Ollie! Ollie!
Kill it! Kill it!
Fuckers!
Oh, no! Oh, God, he's dead!
He's dead! Get out of here! Let's go, let's go!
Drayton on, come on, come on, come on!
Come on, Drayton on, he's dead!
Come on!
Open the door!
Where's Bobby?
Daddy!
Close up the doors!
Hurry up!
What happened?
They're dead! They're all dead!
Expiation, because we have seen
the earth scourged with whips and scorpions
We have seen the earth vomit forth from her lips
obscenities and profanities
of such nightmare proportions
And for these evil, lurking spirits,
and for these evil people
How long was I out?
Most of the day
You just came over here to lay down and went to sleep
Just passed out, is more like it
What will stop this Great Whore?
Just shut down for a while
Sorry
How will it end?
Expiation!
Do you remember yesterday when
How's Joe?
Dead Joe died of his burns while you were asleep
We were just too late
I told you this would come!
Oh, God, I thought I was dreaming her voice
No dream
She's getting people whipped up
That poor girl is dead,
and that boy is burnt in the back room!
She's got 'em believing she's a psychic,
she has a direct line with God
Why wouldn't they? Woman never shuts up
Like those speeches Castro used to make
Ollie say you’re thinking of leaving
I'm in
No Sorry
I mean, come on, you saw what happened to Bobby Mike
I won't
do that again I won't be responsible
You might want to reconsider that
What will.. what will keep these evil,
these abominations at bay?
What will keep them away?
"The rock will not hide them The dead tree gives no shelter"
What will end it? Let me hear it
- Expiation! - What are we talking about?
- Expiation! - Say it again like you mean it!
Expiation!
Welcome to Sesame Street Today's word is "expiation"
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
That boy hasn't been right since the pharmacy
His mind's just snapped Gone
Hasn't even been two day s
Not even two day s
I'm not spendin' the rest of my life here, I'll tell you what
I can quietly gather up some bags of groceries
and hide them up at one of the check stands by the door
It was your idea It's your vehicle
It'll be your call
I'd rather die out there trying than in here waiting
Who will save them? No one
The rocks will not hide them
I want some idea of what we’re up against
I want to know what this mist is
I want to talk to the soldiers
Soldiers? What's that gonna do?
You heard what that MP said at the pharmacy
David, I'm not even sure I knew he was talking
The situation was insane
He said he was sorry
Wasn't that the word he used.. "sorry"?
That's right He said it was their fault, right?
What did he mean by that?
That's what we’re gonna find out
Irene, stay with Billy, please
Verse 17!
"poured out his vial into the air,
"and there came a great voice
"out of the temple of heaven from the throne, saying,
"'It is done! It is done! '
"And there were voices and lightning,
and thunders, and a great earthquake"
Yes! Come to me!
What?
- Where's your friends? - I ain't seen 'em
Not that big a store It's kinda hard to lose
I ain't seen 'em, I said I look like their keeper?
- What do you want from me? - What do you know about this mist?
I don't know nothin' I got nothin' to do with it
That's not what the MP said in the pharmacy
before the spiders came out of his skin
They're not in the store
The only place we haven't looked is the loading dock
because you know
You saw the good face of God tonight
Yes? Tell us
Here is an old man who has seen!
Yes, he has seen!
Amen
And I want to say,
do I want to walk with you
into my Father's hands?
Morales
Donaldson
guys
It's the only place they can be
What?
Couldn’t just disappear
Look, I told you, okay, I don't know where they are..
I didn't think they'd do it
They said they would do it, and I just..
I told them what the MP said at the pharmacy,
and they swore they'd do it
I just.. I didn't think they would
Jesus
It's the Arrowhead Project, isn't it?
This mist, it's some kind of, what, military fuckup?
What were you guys messin' with up there, huh?
We got you now, you sorry son of a bitch!
Get in there!
It was them! It was them what done it to us!
It was them what brung down the final wrath upon us!
Those two peckerwoods that he's been with this whole time,
they hung themselves in the back because they knew!
They knew it all along!
- He's crazy He doesn't know.. - Get on your knees!
Stay out of it, Drayton on!
They heard it too, didn't you? All of ya!
All about the Arrowhead Project
and all that secret shit up on the mountain
That's what brung it down on us
That's what brung down the wrath of God!
Oh!
Private Jessup
It wasn't me.
I'm just.. I'm stationed up there
I'm not responsible..
- Bullshit! - Hell, I'm a local!
Most of you people know me
You stop your chicken shit whining
or I will cut your puling tongue out
Now you tell us!
Tell us
Look, look Okay, okay
I heard stuff
Stuff?
Yes, we all heard stuff
Like how they, um,
how they thought that there were other dimensions,
you know, other.. other worlds all around us,
and how they wanted to try and make, um,
a window..
you know, so they could look through and see what's on the other side
Well, maybe your window turned out to be a door Didn't it?
Not mine! Those scientists'!
Oh, the scientists! Yes, the scientists!
They must have ripped a hole open by accident
This other world came spilling through to ours
That's what Donaldson was saying to me right before he killed himself
I didn't understand the half of it
It ain't my fault!
Oh
Ain't His Fault
No, no, no
Ain't nothin'
Ever anybody's fault
But he denies it
He points the finger,
this Judas in our midst
Judas!
David!
You! You!
Don't you know by now?
Don't you know the truth?
We are being punished
For what? For going against the will of God!
For going against his forbidden rules of old!
Walking on the moon!
Yes! Yes!
- Or.. or splitting his atoms! Amen!
Or.. or.. or stem cells
and abortions!
And destroying the secrets of life
that only God above has any right to!
Amen! Amen!
Yes, I know! It is true!
And now we are being punished
The judgment is being brought down upon us
The fiends of hell, you see they are let loose,
and star Wormwood blazes!
And it is his fault!
No! No! It is not my fault! No!
They did it! They spit in the eye of the Almighty!
No!
Get over there!
No!
Judas!
Jim!
Kill him! String him up!
Stand up, you coward!
Jesus!
No!
Expiation!
- No! Stab him!
Expiation!
Feed him to the beast!
Expiation!
Let the abominations smell his blood!
No, no! No!
- Jesus! Wait! - No, David!
Please
The beast will leave us alone tonight
Tomorrow
tomorrow, we'll just have to wait and see
Daddy
Sorry I left you, pal
I'll never leave you again
Promise?
But you have to give me your best promise, okay?
Your very best promise, and can never break it
Tell me
Promise you won't let the monsters get me
Ever No matter what
I promise
I love you, Daddy
I love you, Billy
More than anything
It's dawn
Hey, pal, you ready to go home?
Come on
Okay, I got the groceries hidden at check stand number two
Five bags We can grab 'em and get out the door
Okay
My car's parked in the center lane of the parking lot, far end
Whoever gets there first, open up both doors,
and we'll all pile in as fast as we can, okay?
Let's go
Stealing food now?
Going out now, Mrs Carmody
Please stand aside
You can't go out I won't allow it
Won't allow it?
It's against God's will
Don't you know that by now?
Haven't I proven my self again and again and again?
Haven't I shown that I am his vessel?
What's the matter with you?
Don't you believe in God?
No one's interfered with you
All we're asking for is the same privilege
You heard him
It is these people who brought this upon us
They..
people who refused to bend to the will of God,
and claim it privilege
Sinners in pride
Yes, haughty
Privileged!
They mock us They mock our.. our God, our faith,
our values, our very lifestyle
They mock our humility
and our piousness
They piss on us and laugh
It's from them
the blood of human sacrifice must come
From them
- Come on - the blood of expiation
Come on
You try it
Fuckin' try it!
Come on!
Get 'em! - We want the boy
- We want the boy! - You get back!
- Yeah! - You get back!
The boy!
Grab that boy! Grab him!
Grab him!
And get the whore too!
Grab her!
Kill 'em! Kill 'em all!
Stay down! Stay down! Stay down!
I.. I killed her
Thank you, Ollie
Let's go
Get that ice machine out of the way, please
You killed her!
You murdered her!
I wouldn't have shot her, Dave,
not if there'd been any other way
That's why I said thank you
Okay
Okay, then let's go!
Get up, Myron!
Come on! We gotta go!
My ankle!
Okay All the way down!
Where are they?
Bud! Myron!
Ambrose!
I think I broke it!
Come on! Come on!
We gotta go! Come on, come on!
They're lost!
- Oh, Jesus - Ollie!
Ollie!
All that screaming!
