00:00:30We knew it would happen. We hoped it never would. The neutron bomb.
00:00:38Ingenious. Diabolical. Practically harmless to property and vegetation, but fatal to living things like humans and animals.
00:00:53Except those perennials of the vermin world, the rats and roaches.
00:00:59But, as in all things, there are exceptions. Yes, some of us came through.
00:01:07In Europe, the Americas, the East, and in Africa, disconnected little groups, solitary individuals.
00:01:15And here and there, a few animals and birds. We call these areas survival zones.
00:01:23And these remnants are of all kinds. The young, the old, the good, the bad, and the downright evil.
00:01:33But the will to start again, to survive, is always there.
00:01:41They say, where there is life, there is hope. Always hope.
00:01:49Let's eat.
00:01:51Let's go.
00:01:53Let's go.
00:01:57Let's go.
00:01:59I don't know.
00:02:29I guess that's about it.
00:02:39I hope you and Pa and Francis find each other okay.
00:02:48I'll go find out what's left out there.
00:02:59I love you, Ma.
00:02:59I love you, Ma.
00:02:59I love you, Ma.

00:06:01Thank you, Ma.
00:06:02Thank you, Ma.
00:06:03Thank you, Ma.
00:06:04I'll go and take a little nap, sister.
00:06:05You don't need to tell me to take a nap.
00:06:07I'll go and take a nap when I feel I need it.
00:06:13Tell Jane to come to me, will you?
00:06:14Certainly, sister.
00:06:17Good morning.
00:06:18Good morning, and how are you?
00:06:19Oh, my gosh.
00:06:20Do you have a good night?
00:06:21No pain?
00:06:22Good.
00:06:23Good morning, Sixpence.
00:06:24Time for some vitamin D and a little exercise, hmm?
00:06:30I'll ask Jane to take you for a little walk, and you can help her dig carrots by me.
00:06:35How's that?
00:06:36Jane.
00:06:37Jane.
00:06:38I want you to take Sixpence for a little walk.
00:06:40Not too far, mind you, hmm?
00:06:41And then he'll help you dig carrots.
00:06:42I'll take sixpence for a little walk.
00:06:43Good morning, Sixpence.
00:06:44Time for some vitamin D and a little exercise, hmm?
00:06:46I'll ask Jane to take you for a little walk, and you can help her dig carrots for supper.
00:06:47How's that?
00:06:48Jane.
00:06:49I want you to take Sixpence for a little walk.
00:06:52Not too far, mind you, hmm?
00:06:55And then he'll help you dig carrots for a little walk.
00:07:04And then he'll help you dig carrots for supper.
00:07:29Well done, Sister.
00:07:31I think so.
00:07:32Want to check?
00:07:33No, no.
00:07:34As long as you haven't forgotten the cooking oil and the baking powder.
00:07:36It's all here.
00:07:37I'll get the truck ready this afternoon.
00:07:38Sister Mary, you know how I hate that truck.
00:07:40Sister Mary, forgive me.
00:07:42I'm afraid in the valley of death.
00:07:43He'll understand.
00:07:44He'll protect us.
00:07:46What's happened is his will.
00:07:47His plan.
00:07:48But I'm still afraid.
00:07:49He spared us for a purpose.
00:07:53Now, no more talking about morbid things.
00:07:54There's work to be done.
00:07:55We've got to be off before dawn if we want to be back before nightfall.
00:08:00We've got to be off before dawn if we want to be back before nightfall.
00:08:07Oh, no more talking about morbid things.
00:08:08No more talking about morbid things.
00:08:09There's work to be done.
00:08:10We've got to be off before dawn if we want to be back before nightfall.
00:08:14There's a couple different things we've got to be back before morning.
00:08:15I don't know.
00:08:16I'm sure it's going to be back before morning.
00:08:17Oh!
00:08:18Oh!
00:08:19Oh!
00:08:20Oh!
00:08:21Oh!
00:08:22Oh!
00:08:23Oh!
00:08:24Oh, oh!
00:08:25Oh!
00:08:26Oh!
00:08:27Oh!
00:08:28Oh!
00:08:29Oh!
00:08:30Oh!
00:08:31Oh!
00:08:32Oh!
00:08:33Oh!
00:08:34Oh!
00:08:35Oh!
00:08:36Oh!
00:08:37Oh!
00:08:38Oh!
00:08:39Oh!
00:08:40Oh!
00:08:41Oh!
00:08:42Oh!
00:08:43Oh!
00:08:44No, no, no, no.
00:09:14No, no, no, no.
00:09:44No, no, no, no.
00:10:14No, no, no, no.
00:10:44No, no, no.
00:11:14No, no, no.
00:11:44No, no.
00:12:14No, no, no.
00:12:45Anybody receiving me, please acknowledge.
00:12:49This is Ben Faber calling from Eden Farm on 75 kilohertz.
00:12:56Anybody receiving me, please acknowledge.
00:12:59CQ.
00:13:01CQ.
00:13:02Thank you, thank you.
00:13:06Well, if you'd rather listen to that than my piano playing.
00:13:09I mean, why did I spend my whole childhood practicing?
00:13:12Why do I still practice?
00:13:13Well, because I have plans to make you a famous concert artist.
00:13:17You'll make a fortune and take care of your father in his golden years.
00:13:22Besides, I'm becoming fluent Chinese or whatever it is they babble out there.
00:13:27And I also heard a few seconds of what sounded like a nice young Frenchman before I lost him.
00:13:33My last chances of love swept away when a sea of radios started.
00:13:44Wouldn't it be nice, though?
00:13:46Dad, you do believe that one day...
00:13:49Sure.
00:13:53I mean, how long can we survive like this?
00:13:56Forever.
00:13:58I mean, all we've got to do is hang on and keep hoping we've got everything we need here.
00:14:03Yeah.
00:14:07Rachel.
00:14:10Rachel.
00:14:11I know.
00:14:13I mean, sometimes I get a yin for a nice juicy steak.
00:14:19I can't even remember what it's like.
00:14:22Yeah.
00:14:23Sometimes I could eat a horse.
00:14:26Dad.
00:14:26I am starving.
00:14:29Forgot.
00:14:30That's what Mom sent me to tell you.
00:14:32Dinner's ready.
00:14:33Didn't tell you?
00:14:34Is that my dinner was ready?
00:14:36Huh?
00:14:36Rachel.
00:14:37I asked you to call Mark.
00:14:39I already did.
00:14:40Well, he's not there.
00:14:42Mom, what do you expect me to do?
00:14:43Take him to the dinner table in a straitjacket?
00:14:45That's enough, young lady.
00:14:46Go call him again.
00:14:47Why do I always have to be the heavy?
00:14:51That's everything in the communications room.
00:14:53Well, occasional broadcasts from the galaxies formerly known as Europe and Asia, and based
00:14:58on eight-second broadcasts, the planet China may be supporting intelligent life.
00:15:04Just to charge for the attack of the giant chopsticks.
00:15:09By the way, are we going into town tomorrow?
00:15:11Yeah.
00:15:12We need fuel for the generator motors.
00:15:14Good.
00:15:15I think I'll get a new dress for Rachel.
00:15:17I should clear the battle smoke between us.
00:15:20Come on, Captain.
00:15:22If the crew gets to the table before we do, we'll never hear the end of it.
00:15:27You know, Lucy, I wish someone would be polite enough to speak English, David.
00:20:48It's breaking the rule.
00:20:50got a taste for fresh meat. But that don't mean you kill one of the brothers for it, hmm?
00:20:56That only happens when one of you who's lost his marbles thinks he can run this
00:21:01show better than me. That's breaking the rules. That means the death penalty. I told
00:21:14you not to drink from that contaminated water. Now you're just a bunch of mutes.
00:21:19Stupid dumb mutes. And the next time we find women, I'll skin the first man who
00:21:28loses control. Jesus Christ, we almost had a...
00:21:36Fine pair, you would have turned out to be on Noah's Ark. Don't you realize you two
00:21:42might be the only two nags to be alive on the face of the earth? And when are you
00:21:48going to present your grandfather with a nice little foe? Why don't you get up here
00:21:53high horse and sweet talk her? You're a damn ungrateful pair.
00:21:57I don't think they understand, Uncle Luke. Ah, they understand. I guess they're more
00:22:03mule than horse.
00:22:08Mark! Come on, we're leaving!
00:22:12Bye, Uncle Luke!
00:22:15Bye!
00:22:16Bye, Uncle Luke!
00:22:29Bye!
00:22:30Bye!
00:22:31Bye!
00:22:32Bye!
00:22:33Bye!
00:22:34Bye!
00:22:35Bye!
00:22:37Bye!
00:22:38Bye!
00:22:39Let's go see Harry.
00:23:09Mom, do you think I should go on a dime?
00:23:27Certainly not.
00:23:28You're the perfect figure of a 17 year old girl.
00:23:32Mom, I am a 17 year old girl.
00:23:35Besides, I read in a magazine once that if you have more than an inch around your tummy
00:23:38to pinch.
00:23:39Your tummy, that's just a mouthful away from being fat.
00:23:42Rubbish.
00:23:43Vernon has the only body type that wouldn't flunk a test like that.
00:23:46You wouldn't want to look like him, would you?
00:24:03Well, don't you think it's a little low?
00:24:07I think he's a bit high.
00:24:10Rachel.
00:24:11Money jerking mom.
00:24:14Well, I suppose it's alright.
00:24:16We'll see if you get your paternal seal.
00:24:19What about this one?
00:24:20I love it.
00:24:21But I like this one too.
00:24:26Oh, the price is right.
00:24:27Let's take both and I'll handle the old man.
00:24:33Okay.
00:24:34Oh, the price is right.
00:24:35Let's take both and I'll handle the old man.
00:24:40Where's the little scavenger?
00:24:41Where's the little scavenger?
00:24:42Oh, the price is right.
00:24:43Let's take both and I'll handle the old man.
00:24:47Oh, the price is right.
00:24:48Oh, the price is right.
00:24:49Let's take both and I'll handle the old man.
00:24:54Where's the little scavenger?
00:24:59Where's the little scavenger?
00:25:11I don't like him running off by himself.
00:25:29Well, a little light reading, huh?
00:25:36Illustrated classics, Dad. Serious stuff.
00:25:40Well, as long as they don't mistake our truck for a mobile public library.
00:25:59I don't know.
00:26:17I don't know.
00:26:23I don't know.
00:26:33I don't know.
00:26:39I don't know.
00:26:45I don't know.
00:27:04I don't know.
00:29:40How come you know everything, Dad?
00:29:43Well, I don't know everything.
00:29:45Well, what don't you know?
00:29:46Well, I don't know.
00:29:48I'll tell you one thing, though.
00:29:49What?
00:29:50In the next few years, you're going to think that I know less and less, and that you know everything.
00:29:57Mark!
00:29:57Mark!
00:29:58Where did you get the silk?
00:29:59I'm sorry!
00:30:00Where?
00:30:01I'm sorry!
00:30:01I'm sorry!
00:30:01I'm sorry!
00:30:02I'm sorry!
00:30:03Come on, come on.
00:30:04Hold it, you guys.
00:30:05He stole my silk for a stupid kite.
00:30:07Well, I'm afraid it's too late, Rachel.
00:30:09It's a kite tail now.
00:30:11Dad, how could you?
00:30:12Well, I didn't know, honey.
00:30:13We're going into town in a few days.
00:30:15You can get yourself another.
00:30:17Just because he's a boy, you're always on his side.
00:30:20I've got a real chauvinist for a father.
00:30:22Well, Rachel, you've been reading too many of those ladies' magazines.
00:30:26Come on, son.
00:30:27Off you go.
00:30:28Oh, fuck!
00:30:41When you're through with that, Luke, I want to get out with that irrigation dish.
00:30:47You're not going to use that old stuff, are you?
00:30:49That dynamite's not like liquor.
00:30:51It doesn't improve with age.
00:30:52That doesn't sound like the grenade-happy hero of Alamein to me.
00:30:56Those grenades were as fresh as baby pineapples.
00:31:00I'd rather work by pick than use that.
00:31:19Look, the raining season's on us.
00:31:22We've got to get this thing finished.
00:31:24I might as well make my bed between a rock and a hard place.
00:31:37The more the world changes, the more it stays the same.
00:31:40Oh, yeah?
00:31:40What's that mean?
00:31:41I was like you, trying to get your kite up, shy of 30 years ago.
00:31:45Oh, yeah.
00:31:46He is like me, isn't he?
00:31:48I mean, what do you think?
00:31:51Don't I?
00:31:52Except Rachel.
00:31:53Yeah.
00:31:54She's strong-minded.
00:31:56I've never seen a woman more useful with her hands.
00:31:58When I first came here, your grandfather had 2,000 head of cattle cutting the grass for him.
00:32:06That was Mark's age.
00:32:07I thought this ranch was a whole world.
00:32:10Yeah.
00:32:11Well, 60 years later, one nuclear war, this ranch is the whole world.
00:32:17They're coming on up.
00:32:19What's going to happen to them?
00:32:21What are you going to do?
00:32:22Well, we'll make contact with other people.
00:32:26We've got to.
00:32:29My grandmother used to say the end of the world will be like the beginning, the beginning like the end.
00:32:34The end of the world will be like the end.
00:33:04The end.
00:33:10Tea time.
00:33:11Oh.
00:33:13It's about time, young lady.
00:33:17Mm.
00:33:18God, is that good.
00:33:20What's the problem?
00:33:22Oh.
00:33:23The needle valve is frozen on the governor.
00:33:25I dropped the damn spring and I can't find it.
00:33:27Better have it before sunset or we won't have any lights tonight.
00:33:30Oh, when?
00:33:31Yeah.
00:33:32It's down there somewhere.
00:33:40So much for my old supremacy, huh?
00:33:42I never said men were superior.
00:33:44Oh, well, I think you can do with some help.
00:33:48You know, we've done all right by you.
00:33:58I've been bothering you, Daddy.
00:33:59No, nothing bothering me.
00:34:03I'm just a little tired, maybe.
00:34:06Okay, well, I'll finish this.
00:34:07You enjoy your tea, huh?
00:34:08Have you started taking care of me in my old age?
00:34:10Because I'm warning you, this isn't my old age.
00:34:14What have you done with the lock nut?
00:34:29I'll let you into my dream if you let me into your eye.
00:34:35I'll let you into my dream if you let me into your eye.
00:34:49I'll let you into my dream if you let me into your eye.
00:35:01It's so beautiful out there.
00:35:03But I much prefer the scenery and the sun and the window.
00:35:14Tell me what got you up, or do I have to squeeze it out of you?
00:35:18Well, you'll just think I'm crazy.
00:35:20Yeah.
00:35:21I always have.
00:35:25Well, I was thinking I would like another baby.
00:35:31To all the horrors and the dying, I'm not afraid anymore.
00:35:41The past seems like a dream.
00:35:44I'm happy.
00:35:47I don't want anything to change.
00:35:50If it wasn't for the children and Rachel,
00:35:52I would like everything to be just as it is.
00:35:56I love you.
00:36:00You're the most wonderful man in the world.
00:36:04Well, with the competition the way it is here,
00:36:06I don't know how quite to take that.
00:36:10Of course, you're not quite perfect.
00:36:13Your hair is getting a little gray.
00:36:16You need some dental work.
00:36:19But all in all, you have the competition beaten cold.
00:36:22If we ever do put a human society together again,
00:36:24we'll have that baby.
00:36:27We really will.
00:36:29Sure.
00:36:30Let's practice.
00:36:31Let's practice.

00:37:24Holy catfish, what the hell's going on?
00:37:54Dad, Dad, made on motorcycles, lots of them, Dad.
00:38:19All right, get Mabel into the paddock, find Mark, get in the house with Mark.
00:38:24All right, let's go.
00:38:54Oh, my God!
00:39:24Oh, my God!
00:39:54Oh, my God!
00:40:24Oh, my God!
00:40:54Oh, my God!
00:41:24Oh, my God, are you all right?
00:41:28I'm fine.
00:41:28Where's Mark?
00:41:29Mark's in the kitchen.
00:41:31Good.
00:41:31They'll be back.
00:41:32We've got to get ready.
00:41:37Oh, God.
00:41:37Rachel, get some hot water.
00:41:39I'll be out.
00:41:41Sit still.
00:41:42I'm going to get some medication.
00:41:43I'm all right.
00:41:44You better be Luke.
00:41:45We'll need you.
00:41:53Uncle Luke.
00:41:54Uncle Luke, what happened?
00:41:57I'm okay, Mark.
00:41:59Come on, son.
00:42:00Let's get these things loaded.
00:42:02Yes!
00:42:02Do you see them?
00:42:28No.
00:42:31Who are they?
00:42:33Well, whoever they are, they don't come bearing the palms of peace.
00:42:39What are we gonna do, Daddy?
00:42:42I don't want you to bother your pretty little head.
00:42:47I want you to keep cool, set a good example, and do exactly as I say.
00:42:52Promise?
00:42:54I'll be okay.
00:42:55Yeah. I knew it before you did, Angel.
00:42:58Remember, after beating World War III, there's nothing this family can't like.
00:43:10How do you feel, Blue?
00:43:11No, don't fuss at me, Ben.
00:43:13Thanks, Lucy.
00:43:14Listen, take it easy. I don't want you to push yourself.
00:43:16Oh, gosh, if we don't get that human blight off the ranch, we'll all be pushing up daisies.
00:43:22How's it going, son?
00:43:23All righty, sir.
00:43:24Good boy.
00:43:25Look, everybody.
00:43:28Our visitors have made their intentions rather clear, but it's nothing we can't handle if we keep calm and we use our heads.
00:43:34Now, whoever they are, whatever they are, they want our blood. They're not gonna get it.
00:43:37You did good today, all of you, and I'm very proud.
00:43:44I reckon there's about a dozen of them out there, and we're five, so that makes the odds about even.
00:43:49Now, while it's daylight, we can hold the house rather easily, but after dark, we could have some problems.
00:43:55So we'd better make plans to abandon ship if we have to.
00:43:58Rachel, I want you to prepare a hamper of food.
00:44:00Things that won't spoil too quickly, and Mark, I want you to give your sister a hand.
00:44:03Come on, get moving.
00:44:08Where would we go?
00:44:09The cave will be safe there.
00:44:13Then I'm petrified.
00:44:16So am I.
00:44:18But I won't tell if you don't.
00:44:39We're gonna need a full survival kit.
00:44:42Medical supplies, soap.
00:44:44Come on and listen.
00:44:45What?
00:44:53Lucy, get my glasses.
00:45:09What a bunch of vultures.
00:45:10Huh.
00:45:11But they are people.
00:45:12You call them people.
00:45:13Listen, Luke.
00:45:14We've taken all the necessary precautions.
00:45:15Maybe we should start negotiations.
00:45:16What are you gonna do?
00:45:17I want to talk to them.
00:45:18I want to find out who they are.
00:45:19I'm gonna say it.
00:45:20I'm afraid, Ben.
00:45:21I'm real afraid.
00:45:22I'll join the party, Luke.
00:45:23Oh.
00:45:24All we've been through and all we've done.
00:45:25Lucy, please.
00:45:26Lucy, just get the things ready.
00:45:29What do you figure I'm doing?
00:45:31We don't have any choice, Luke.
00:45:32Maybe I can reason with them.
00:45:33Too late for talking.
00:45:34Well, it's not a matter of time.
00:45:36Maybe we should start negotiations.
00:45:38Maybe we should start negotiations.
00:45:39What are you gonna do?
00:45:40I want to talk to them.
00:45:41I want to find out who they are.
00:45:42I'm gonna say it.
00:45:43I'm afraid, Ben.
00:45:44I'm real afraid.
00:45:45I'll join the party, Luke.
00:45:46Oh, you've been through and all we've done.
00:45:48Lucy, please.
00:45:49Just get the things ready.
00:45:52What do you figure I'm doing?
00:45:53We don't have any choice, Luke.
00:45:54Too late for talking. You'll kill some of them.
00:45:57You're right. You're right.
00:45:58If you go out there, they'll kill you for sure.
00:46:00We've got to get the family out of here.
00:46:03All our work.
00:46:05Now those devils are going to destroy for sure.
00:46:08I'm an old man. It doesn't matter so much to me.
00:46:10But the kids...
00:46:12That Satan and his co-op sitting up there...
00:46:13Take hold of yourself, Luke.
00:46:15Hey, remember the Battle of Alamein.
00:46:18I'll see you at the medal parade.
00:46:19I'm too old for medals.
00:46:20Ah, there's room for one more.
00:46:22Okay.
00:46:25When it's dark, we must get Lucy and the children up to the cave.
00:46:29Know something?
00:46:30You're just like your father.
00:46:31I could do a lot worse.
00:46:34You take the first watch, okay?
00:46:35All right, Captain.
00:46:50Any sign of them?
00:46:52They won't make them move until dark.
00:46:58I'd say you could call the situation serious.
00:47:01But not critical.
00:47:03I'm going to feed them all to the horses.
00:47:05They haven't had anything since last night.
00:47:07No, it's too risky.
00:47:08You can wait until tonight.
00:47:09You just convinced me.
00:47:11Feed them in the dark is even riskier.
00:47:13I'll be real quick.
00:47:14Absolutely not, Luke.
00:47:15The poor beasts are suffering.
00:47:18It's a long time to sundown.
00:47:21All right, all right.
00:47:22I'll cover you.
00:47:23Lucy!
00:47:23Yes?
00:47:25Luke and I are going to look after the horses.
00:47:28You don't go outside.
00:47:30No, we'll be quick about it.
00:47:31Here, take Luke's gun.
00:47:32Stand and watch for a few minutes.
00:47:34Let's go.
00:48:04Oh
00:48:34Oh
00:48:46Lucy get back
00:48:48Get back
00:48:58Oh
00:49:04All right, get a move
00:49:25Let's get him in the bed, in the bedroom
00:49:26Come on
00:49:28Come on
00:49:29Come on, get a move
00:49:31It's all right, ma'am
00:49:33It's Richard, ma'am
00:49:35It's okay
00:49:44Sorry to run out on you, Ben
00:49:48Don't look at
00:49:50To feed the horses
00:49:59I'm sorry, Luke
00:50:02I screwed up
00:50:05It wasn't your fault
00:50:07Yeah, but Luke's life meant more than the goddamn horses
00:50:10I never should have gone out there
00:50:12He was my first and best friend
00:50:15I mean, as a kid, he used to
00:50:17He used to carry me on the shoulders
00:50:19He loved me
00:50:21We loved him, too
00:50:23We loved him, too
00:50:25I'll get a blanket
00:50:26Come on, come on
00:50:27Come on
00:50:43Best I can do, Luke
00:50:45After this is over, I'll give you a decent burial
00:50:48I promise
00:50:49All right, that's it
00:50:54All right, that's it
00:51:11We'll go as soon as it's dark
00:51:12Are you girls all set?
00:51:13Yes, all set
00:51:14All right, now
00:51:15Watch the windows
00:51:16Make sure you dress properly
00:51:18Okay
00:51:48All right, two things.
00:51:59I want you to be absolutely quiet and do exactly what I say.
00:52:04Lucy, Rachel, close all the curtains.
00:52:07Come on.
00:52:18Come on.
00:52:48Come on.
00:53:18Come on.
00:53:23All right, single file.
00:53:27Lucy, you bring up the rear.
00:53:29Remember, everybody's still low and quiet.
00:53:48That's all the buildings.
00:54:03That's all the buildings.
00:54:17Let's do it.
00:54:32Let's do it.
00:54:33Come on.
00:54:35Come on.
00:54:37Let's go.
00:55:07All right, all of you, get to the top.
00:55:12Come on, get me. Come on, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:55:37Come on, go, go, go, go, go, go.
00:55:42Jesus Christ, you could have killed me.
00:56:00Who are you?
00:56:02Madam Strong.
00:56:03I'm sorry about this, but...
00:56:06Well, I thought you were one of them.
00:56:09No.
00:56:12No.
00:56:14I'm sorry, but this is...
00:56:16This is no time to be sneaking up on me in the dark.
00:56:21Name's Ben Faber.
00:56:23Ben?
00:56:25I've been trailing him for days.
00:56:26I heard the gunshots.
00:56:28Well, then you saw what happened.
00:56:29There's some of it, yeah.
00:56:31How did you get here?
00:56:33I got my truck hidden back in the valley.
00:56:37We're watching from up here.
00:56:39It was kind of difficult to figure out exactly what was going on.
00:56:41We were attacked.
00:56:42I know, I mean, the details.
00:56:45Who's who.
00:56:45Yeah, you're the first live strangers I've seen in two years.
00:56:53Yeah.
00:56:54Is that your place down there?
00:56:56Yes.
00:56:57Adam, what do you know about them?
00:57:01I've seen some of their handiwork.
00:57:04What?
00:57:04When?
00:57:05Where?
00:57:06About 500 miles south of here, there's a mission station.
00:57:08I can't believe that I searched every inch of ground for 1,000 miles around.
00:57:12What are you trying to tell me?
00:57:14What is it?
00:57:15What are the animals, Ben?
00:57:21The rest of those people, is that your family?
00:57:31Look for what it's worth.
00:57:32Can I help?
00:57:37Can you help?
00:57:39Can you help?
00:57:40I mean, you're the first person I've seen in a couple of years,
00:57:43and we nearly tried to kill one another.
00:57:45I've got a thousand questions I'd like to ask you.
00:57:47I'm sure you have a couple of them, Ron.
00:57:48Yeah, a couple.
00:57:50Come on, we have a cave up here.
00:57:52We'll talk when we get here.
00:57:53Do we have a guest with Adam Strong, this is my wife Lucy, my daughter Rachel.
00:58:23Hi, my son Mark.
00:58:26Yeah, if it weren't for the mosquitoes I'd think I was in heaven.
00:58:30As you can see, it's been a long time since they've seen a friendly new face.
00:58:35Welcome.
00:58:36After we've washed and the adrenaline settles, we'll eat, huh?
00:58:39After all, this calls for a celebration.
00:58:42I was a third year agricultural student at the University of Texas when the war looked imminent.
00:58:47Jumped the first plane home, figured that was the place to be with my folks.
00:58:52I didn't do much good.
00:58:54A million acres of deserted sheep farms isn't exactly my image of ideal living.
00:58:58Guess I'm not cut out to play Robinson Crusoe.
00:59:01So, here I am.
00:59:05It's a miracle.
00:59:07You can count me in for when I'm in.
00:59:11What do you say, Rachel?
00:59:18Do you like horses?
00:59:21Yeah.
00:59:22Yeah, I was kind of a modern day cowboy back in Texas for a couple of years.
00:59:27Why?
00:59:28We've got two.
00:59:29That's great.
00:59:36Well, I figured there had to be some more air bubbles.
00:59:39What do you mean, bubbles?
00:59:41Well, I always liken our situation to bubbles rising to the surface.
00:59:46The pockets of uncontaminated air that escape the fallout.
00:59:49I really can't explain.
00:59:50It's probably a combination of rising hot air and frequent currents and things like that.
00:59:57Well, it seems to have all cleared up now.
01:00:00Hmm.
01:00:01Okay.
01:00:02Bedtime, huh?
01:00:04Come on, Ma.
01:00:05Good night, Dad.
01:00:06All right.
01:00:07Adam, I'm not going to take any chances so I'm going to stay on the watch.
01:00:11What?
01:00:12You can count me in.
01:00:13Four on, four off.
01:00:15That's fine.
01:00:16Great.
01:00:17Great.
01:00:22Adam, Lucy will take care of the blankets and the like if you need.
01:00:25Okay.
01:00:47Patience.
01:00:48Patience.
01:00:50Patience.
01:00:52The farmer will come back to save his wife.
01:00:58And when he does, I want him alive.
01:01:13You're early.
01:01:14Yeah, I thought you may want a little extra sleep.
01:01:16No, thanks anyway.
01:01:22So, Adam, what are your plans?
01:01:25Plans?
01:01:29I don't know.
01:01:31See what's left out there.
01:01:35There's no call risking your life for strangers.
01:01:46You're asking me to leave?
01:01:47No.
01:01:48Well, then I'll stay for a while.
01:01:49You're welcome.
01:01:53You know, there's a line on TV once.
01:01:54There are those who believe that life here began out there.
01:01:58What do you think?
01:01:59I'm not so sure.
01:02:00Out there, everything seems the same.
01:02:03Here everything's changed.
01:02:04Oh, there's nothing's changed.
01:02:05What could have fooled me?
01:02:06There's a lot less people doing the same thing.
01:02:07I mean, some of us trying to be better than we are.
01:02:08There's a lot less people doing the same thing.
01:02:09I mean, some of us trying to be better than we are.
01:02:12and some of us just being what we are.
01:02:13It's over now.
01:02:14Armageddon, there's a lot more people than we are.
01:02:15I mean, some of us trying to be better than we are and some of us just being what we are.
01:02:25You could have fooled me.
01:02:30There's a lot less people doing the same thing.
01:02:33I mean, some of us trying to be better than we are,
01:02:36and some of us just being what we are.
01:02:39It's over now.
01:02:41Armageddon and apocalypse have come and gone,
01:02:43and we're still here. It's got to mean something.
01:02:46Welcome to World War IV.
01:02:50It's a pretty dismal view.
01:02:53They've got to be destroyed.
01:02:55They've got you ten to one, Ben.
01:02:58Yeah.
01:02:59I'll be fighting on my ground, and that'll shorten the odds.
01:03:03You can just wait it out. You know, they're going to move on sometime.
01:03:05Well, come on, man. That's more than just a farm.
01:03:08That's our home. It's our world.
01:03:10It's a part of me. It's a part of Luke.
01:03:12Who's Luke?
01:03:14Who's a friend?
01:03:15A friend who died fighting for him.
01:03:19I'm going to follow those sons of bitches like a hungry lion.
01:03:22Two lines.
01:03:31Adam, if you want to help me, you stay with them.
01:03:34It'll be a comfort to me to know that somebody's with him.
01:03:38I don't need somebody like you.
01:03:40You want me to just stay here and watch you march off and get yourself killed?
01:03:42I make my own decisions.
01:03:45So do I.
01:03:46What are you doing?
01:04:14I'm going back. I'm going to kill those sons of bitches.
01:04:23Ben, have you gone completely mad?
01:04:25I guess you'd find some support for that opinion.
01:04:27But the children, what about me?
01:04:29Lucy, what the hell do you think I'm doing it for?
01:04:31Oh, we can go someplace else and start all over.
01:04:33Start over? What do you mean, start over?
01:04:35What, a year from now? Or two? Or ten?
01:04:37We'd be confronted by the same thing.
01:04:39What would we do? Running scared isn't being free.
01:04:42And once we started running, we'd be living our own death.
01:04:45I can't think about next year, the year after.
01:04:47The important thing is I want you alive.
01:04:49The important thing is I go back and stop them.
01:04:51Why are they doing this to us?
01:04:54It's easy. I've got something they want.
01:04:57The children and I are as good as the dead if anything happens to you.
01:05:00No, there's Adam.
01:05:02He's not going?
01:05:04Lucy, how could I leave you and the children unprotected?
01:05:07If it was for that young boy's coming here that freed you to plan this solo suicide mission,
01:05:12I wish to God I'd never see this face.
01:05:13No, no, Lucy, you're wrong. Don't you see?
01:05:15I've got to stop them or I'll be unable to look at myself in a mirror again.
01:05:19Don't go and I'll smash every mirror.
01:05:21Your eyes are mirrors, too. Please understand.
01:05:26No, I don't understand.
01:05:29But you love me anyway.
01:05:34If I love you, you would fool.
01:05:36Ben, if you go down there, I'm going with you.
01:05:49Like hell you are.
01:05:55He's okay.
01:05:57Lucy, just tell the children I've gone to scout around and nothing more.
01:06:02Okay? And tell him I'm truly sorry.
01:14:07I thought I heard an explosion.
