Who the hell are you?

Grover. Grover Jones.

Then why would you show up to Saturday detention when you don't have to?

The primary goal is to get to the fire station.

If it's still there.

Good luck, man.

Let's do it.

Why'd they shut it off?

They had no choice.

They diverted every supply to fight the fires.

Now, which one of you got on the radio?

That was me. It was my call.

What's your name?

Barrett.

Well, Barrett, you called in the cavalry.

I need all your names.

We leave in five minutes.

Water has never tasted so good.

The brain from downtown, man.

Smile, nerd. You did a good thing.

I always knew you were trying to help us.

You were one of the few who did.

I was the only one.

Thank you.

Yeah.

Yes, sir. Those are the names.

Standing by.

So what do they think happened at the plant?

They're looking into it.

I heard it was a fire in the parking lot.

Not likely.

Best guess is is what some kind of industrial accident.

An accident?

Then what's in the air?

And is our basement full of mutant freaks?

A number of people were infected by the toxins in the air.

You still didn't answer the question.

It's because I don't have an answer for you.

Oh, my God. [laughter]

Do you they know how many made it?

Not yet.

Anyone working at Keller Chemical was k*lled instantly.

But we got lucky in places.

Some of the valley was able to evacuate.

Holy sh*t.

Wait, so they're not all dead?

Like I said, there are pockets of survivors, but time is not on our side.

Do you have a list of survivors?

It's chaos out there.

The best we can hope for is to get you all out of here in one piece.

How are we going to do that?

We have a vaccine.

You'll be able to breathe the air outside without getting sick.

So we don't need masks?

Not to get out of the blast dome.

Then why were you wearing a suit?

Because I've been outside in the smoke and ash for more than two days.

You won't need what I've been wearing.

Yes, sir. Copy.

Dude, why are you asking so many questions?

Don't you want to know?

No.

Diesel...

Listen up.

There's been a delay.

My men need another half hour to secure a path up here.
