When I'm Ready (2025)

[bunniefuu]

[arrows whooshing]

-[crickets chirping]

-[birds tweeting]

[sighs]

[woman]

I bet you can't chug that.

It's 6:00 a.m.

What, so you're saying

you're scared?

[man sighs]

-You were saying?

-[giggles]

[woman]

I'll go refill.

[woman sighs]

[kisses gently]

[sighs]

[liquid pouring]

[chuckles softly]

-[door shuts]

-[dog barks]

-[glass shatters]

-Michael!

[mellow music]

[angry man]

sh*t!

-What?

-Come on, let's go!

[g*n c*ck]

-Come on, hurry!

-f*ck, f*ck.

[Michael]

Go, go, go, go, go, go!

I'm right behind you.

-[man] Come on back here!

-[g*nsh*t]

[Michael]

sh*t.

[woman]

Come on!

-[both gasping]

-[man] f*ck you!

[engine revs]

-Son of a b*tch!

-[woman] f*ck you!

-f*ck you, f*ck you!

-[g*nsh*t]

Oh, my God.

That was close.

Been closer?

I held onto it.

[Michael]

Wow, impressive.

[gasping]

[panting]

[woman]

Where are we going now?

We'll find something.

Can you check the news?

Yeah, there's--

uh, there's nothing new.

Okay.

[sighs]

[giggles]

[sighs]

[radio voice 1]

Things are looking pretty grim

out there, folks.

Flights are being grounded,

major highways have been--

[radio voice 2] We're all

waiting on pins and needles here

for an update

on the last ditch plan

to deflect the asteroid cluster,

which sources have indicated

should be coming sooner

rather than later.

[radio voice 3] Reports

coming in of escalating clashes

between protestors

and National Guard--

[radio voice 4] President

has declared martial law.

[radio voice 5] The largest

asteroid in the cluster

is six miles long,

with an estimated weight

of 66 million metric tons.

[static]

[radio voice 2]

I'm seeing an update now, uh,

the joint chiefs

announced today,

the mission--oh...

[radio voice 2 sighs]

[truck door opens]

[birds cawing]

I think this is

the most beautiful one yet.

I think you say that

a couple times per week.

Yeah.

But this time

I really mean it, though.

You looked pretty slow

running away earlier.

I wasn't sure

you were gonna make it.

Do you think you could

beat me in a race?

I would destroy you.

-[fire crackling]

-[crickets chirping]

[woman] We left all of our sh*t

at that cabin.

Is that all we've got?

Yep.

[Michael]

f*ck.

-[Michael spits]

-[bags zipping]

What are they saying now?

Um, 50-50.

[uneasy music]

[woman]

I'm scared.

[Michael]

I know.

I don't know

what's gonna happen.

But I do know,

as long as we're together,

nothing's gonna happen to you.

[woman]

What if it doesn't happen?

I mean, what do we do then?

If things go back to normal?

[Michael]

I don't think they can.

For us, at least.

Guess we're screwed either way.

[soft music]

[woman]

You're not worried?

[Michael]

There's nothing to worry about.

I just wanna enjoy

every moment I have with you.

[Michael sighs]

[woman sighs]

[birds chirping]

[water lapping]

[woman]

Come in!

I'm good.

[woman]

It feels amazing.

Oh, come on!

Will you stop?

[woman] You're the one who said

we're f*cked either way, right?

Come on, why not let loose?

Yeah.

[melancholic music]

What?

When were you gonna tell me?

I wasn't not gonna tell you, I--

I don't know, I just--

I wasn't sure how you'd react,

I'm sorry,

I didn't know what to say.

Or how.

What do you mean,

you weren't sure how I'd react?

I just thought you'd

react, I--I--

I don't know, I--

I'm sorry, it was stupid,

I shouldn't have.

I wanna go see my grandma.

-By the time that we--

-Who the f*ck cares?

Why do you keep acting like

you're not worried?

[cell phone buzzes]

[wind whistling]

[heartfelt music]

[birds chirping]

[woman sighs]

Should probably get up

pretty early tomorrow.

You got plans?

I just figured if you wanted

to go see your grandma.

Really?

Yeah.

Of course.

[woman squeals]

You're gonna love her.

She's gonna be really happy

to meet you, too.

She always used to complain

she never got to meet

a boyfriend of mine.

So, I'm your boyfriend now.

Maybe.

I don't know, don't push it.

[woman chuckles]

We'll tell her you are, though.

She'll like it.

[woman sighs]

[President over radio]

My fellow Americans,

the mission to deflect

the asteroid cluster has failed.

Impact will come

in just over six days,

but we are not backing down,

and we are not giving up.

A new plan from

our brightest minds is underway,

and I'm optimistic

about its chances.

For everyone's safety,

National Guard units

will be enforcing a ban

on all non-essential travel.

-God bless you--

-[Michael] Sorry.

[truck putters]

[radio voice 2] Food shortages

have been reported

for the first time

since the asteroid cluster

was discovered

just over a month ago.

Officials in multiple counties

say violent crime has spiked

since the announcement

of the present failure,

and that--

Hey.

It's gonna be okay, yeah?

We're gonna make the best of it.

Let loose.

[woman]

Yeah.

And they said they're

making another plan already,

it's not even 100 percent yet.

They're gonna be working

around the clock.

[gas tank door clunks]

[crows cawing]

I'm gonna go get some food.

You want anything?

[Michael]

Surprise me.

[uneasy music]

[traffic whizzing past]

[g*n clicks]

Rose?

-[Rose screaming]

-Rose!

[door dings]

[Rose mumbling]

[shuffling]

[Michael]

Let her go!

[Rose]

Michael!

[grunting]

-[screaming]

-[Michael] Stop!

Stop!

[screaming]

[g*nsh*t]

[gasping]

[whimpering]

Michael!

-[grunting]

-[g*nsh*t]

[Rose gasping]

[uneasy tone]

[Michael]

Aw, f*ck.

[Rose panting]

[brakes screech]

[Michael]

Rose.

Rose.

[Rose]

What the f*ck?

-What?

-You just k*lled those people.

Yeah, I know, we gotta go.

Why have you

been acting so weird?

About what?

About everything.

Like when you heard the news.

You just keep acting

so casual about everything,

and I am freaking out, okay?

[Rose breathing heavily]

I guess when I'm with you,

I'm not really

thinking about it.

I don't know, it's like

everything's okay.

[somber music]

We're gonna get to your grandma.

She's gonna be

so happy to see you.

And they said on the radio,

it's not even 100 percent yet,

they really sounded like

they might figure something out,

I swear.

There's still hope.

[Rose] That was just

really f*cking crazy back there.

-I know.

-And there's a lot of blood.

-I know.

-I'm sorry.

Hey, it's okay.

I'm just glad you're safe.

Let's go.

-Come on.

-Yeah.

So, we'll get there in time.

Yeah.

My grandma's gonna be

so excited to see me.

I figured that we could

just stay with her,

and hang out

for however long we have.

We could all

play cards or something.

Do you know how to play gin?

Nuh-uh.

We'll teach you.

She really is the best.

You know, she...

...she kinda raised me,

before my mom was sober.

She was kinda like my mom

for a while there.

I got her these.

They're her favorite.

That's cute.

[soft music]

[insects chirring]

Do you think it's gonna hurt?

No.

I think it'll be pretty quick.

[Rose sighs]

What?

You don't think

that your parents

might have gone to get her?

[Rose]

Oh, no.

God, no.

She wouldn't have gone with them

even if they had,

but they definitely didn't.

Do you think everything's okay

at her place?

[Michael]

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

They wouldn't just

abandon them there.

Thanks.

[mellow music]

[disc jockey] Another day down,

five and a half left to go.

Bryan Benson back with you

here at KIWA,

where we'll be

bringing you good times

up until the end times.

NASA's saying

the asteroid cluster--

[Michael]

Whoa.

[Bryan]

...so get out your telescopes

if you wanna catch a glimpse.

And be careful out there, folks.

The National Guard

is out in full force--

[flames crackling]

[flies buzzing]

[Michael]

sh*t.

[back opens]

Hey, Rose.

Let's go.

[flies buzzing]

[birds chirping]

[Rose]

Laser tag?

[Michael]

Come on, it'll be fun.

[Rose]

You think we can get in?

[Michael]

Yes, I do.

[metal crunches]

[arcade machines beep]

You want me to win you a prize?

[Rose]

Yes.

[jaunty tune]

-[Rose squeals]

-[Michael groans]

Okay, that was so close.

Michael.

[Rose whoops]

Oh, right by the head!

Oh!

[claw machine]

Winner.

-And, your prize.

-[Rose hums]

[game announcer]

Three,

two,

one,

fight.

[Rose]

Michael?

Where are you?

[beeping]

[Rose yells]

Ah!

[game announcer]

Failure.

Got you.

[Michael]

Oh, that is so unfair.

It must suck to suck.

Can we go again?

[Michael]

Yeah.

[Rose]

Okay, good.

Maybe this time

I'll let you win.

-Huh?

-I said--

What did you say?

What was that?

I didn't hear you,

come on, give me your g*n.

[running footsteps]

[soft, tense music]

-[laser pings]

-Got ya.

[giggles]

[soft music]

[Michael]

Come on.

[mournful music]

What--

Michael.

[Michael]

Rose!

Hey, do you,

do you need help?

[Michael]

Rose, we gotta go!

Okay.

[Bryan]

You know, folks, look,

a lot of people out there,

they wanna be doom and gloom

all the time.

This is wrong and that's wrong.

That's not what

we're gonna do here.

I'm gonna

give it to you straight,

but I'm gonna keep it

positive, all right?

We're gonna keep it positive

and do the best that we can

to get through this thing.

[Rose]

Oh, my God.

[Michael]

Huh?

You've gotta listen to this one.

"My dearest Julia."

Are you listening?

Yeah.

"Julia, I would endure

any amount of physical pain

to get to you.

I would travel across

Hell itself to be with you."

[Michael]

Damn.

"I would march barefoot

across infinite leagues

of broken glass

to hold you.

I realize now how trivial

all else in my life has been,

and the only thing

that's ever really mattered

has been you.

I long for your embrace.

I love you with every ounce

of my soul, and..."

[gentle music]

"And I can't wait to spend

my last days with you.

I tremble for you.

Love, Oliver."

Wow.

-Right?

-sh*t.

[Rose]

I know!

Would you march

across infinite leagues

of broken glass for me?

Infinite leagues? sh*t.

I don't know.

A couple miles, sure.

Hey, give me the phone.

[Rose] It's only

a few miles from here.

-What?

-Julia.

The woman that

this letter is addressed to.

We should deliver it.

You really want to?

It's practically on the way,

it won't take long.

Please?

Okay.

[Rose]

Yes!

[wind whistling]

That was the first time

I ever saw you freak out.

Back there.

I wasn't freaking out.

You don't have

to keep lying to me.

That sh*t was f*cked up.

It's okay to admit it.

[Bryan] Bryan Benson

back here at KIWA,

wishing you all

a beautiful morning

as we're now under

one hundred hours to go.

We've got a lot

to get to this morning,

including an update on the new,

hastily cobbled together

plan for the government.

But before we

get into all that,

we want to hear how you are

spending your last days alive.

So, if you've got anything

special you'd like to share,

or just plain

need someone to talk to--

Are you gonna answer?

I don't think so.

How come?

I don't know, um,

my dad was pretty tough on me

growing up and...

I don't know.

It doesn't matter,

I don't know.

Oh, no, come on, I wanna hear.

We just never really got along.

And we're pretty different.

This car's the only good thing

he ever did for me, though.

It used to be his.

It's pretty cool.

Yeah.

[Michael] This is it.

[Rose] It feels like

we're completing a quest.

[brakes squeal]

Maybe she's

a badass tough chick,

and she's got a secret bunker,

and she invites us to it

to ride it out.

Or maybe she's crazy

and tries to k*ll us.

You're no fun.

Let's be quick.

-[door opens]

-[Julia] Hey.

Who are you?

So sorry,

I didn't mean to bother you.

We just, we...

We found this mail truck, and...

There was a letter for you.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I can't believe

that you did that.

[Rose]

It was on our way.

Do you wanna come inside?

I just made some coffee.

We would love to.

He was supposed

to be here yesterday,

and I'm sure he just

got held up with something.

Do you think he's coming?

Yeah, I'm sure he is.

Why hasn't he called?

Well, the phone lines are down.

In a lot of the states,

they're already down,

so that's probably it.

Yeah.

Okay.

Do you want to come

try these on with me?

Do you mind?

I've been trying them on

by myself all day.

-Sure.

-Yeah?

Just...

[Julia chuckles]

We haven't known each other

that long, me and Oliver.

Do you think I'm weird?

No, I don't think

that's weird at all.

We haven't been together

very long either.

Which one should we try first?

[Rose]

Red.

Okay.

So, you guys just met?

Oh, no, actually,

we've known each other

since high school,

but we were

just kind of friends and--

well, I guess until recently.

[Julia]

Can you help me with the back?

[Rose]

Yeah.

[zipper zips]

So?

I love it.

Yeah?

Oliver and I

haven't even met yet.

We connected online

when everything happened

and we thought

that it would be romantic

to write each other letters

while we were apart, so.

That is romantic.

Yeah...

He's the first person

I have ever felt seen by.

In my whole life.

There's something

so comforting about him.

I was in

a rough relationship before,

maybe that's why...

Me too.

Yeah.

We're sure we like the red?

What's your name?

Apryl.

That's a cool name.

I'm Michael.

Is it your birthday?

Yesterday.

What'd you guys do?

We made cookies with M&Ms.

Wow, that's crazy.

You got any more of them?

What?

What?

Oh, there are more

but I can't have any?

[Apryl laughs]

It's okay, I wouldn't

want to share mine either.

Especially with her.

What's your name?

I'm Rose.

My name is Apryl.

So, where were we

about those cookies?

My mom said we're all gonna die.

She said that?

No, hey, no, that's not true.

Everything's going to be fine.

It's okay.

I wanna show you something.

See this ring?

This is my grandpa's ring.

His grandpa gave it to him.

It's always kind of been

my lucky ring.

I want you to have it.

And when you wear it,

it's gonna protect you,

and nothing bad

is gonna happen

to you or your mom.

I promise.

I hate rings.

Well, okay.

How about this?

This is my lucky coin.

Same thing.

Take it.

Okay, what are we thinking?

[newscaster] Welcome back,

as we are about to mark

exactly four days until impact.

Several violent encounters

between protesters

and national guard...

Apryl, sweetie,

would you go to your room

for a little while

so we could talk?

Okay.

Thanks, babe.

Oof.

I haven't been

letting her watch anything.

[Julia sighs]

So, Rose tells me that you guys

were friends in school.

I want to hear

how you got together.

We just...

Well, you know,

with everything going on,

it just kind of happened.

So, what do you guys think?

I've been reading

about this group online

that says it's all fake.

That it's just one big

conspiracy or something.

That nothing's gonna happen.

I mean, I don't know,

I hope they're right.

Well, I don't know

anything about that,

but I do know that

they're working on something.

The scientists and stuff?

The government?

And he told me

that there's actually

a really good chance

that they figure something out.

I wouldn't believe a word

out of those corrupt

m*therf*ckers' mouths.

No offense.

Sorry, anyway, forget it.

So, where did you guys say

that you're going after this?

[Rose]

To see my grandma.

[Julia]

Oh, that's sweet.

I can't wait.

I was Miss Colorado.

Probably hard to believe, right?

Not at all.

I know that you both

think I'm crazy.

But I want to be pretty.

And I want this moment

to be special,

and it probably

doesn't really matter, does it?

Let's go back, I wanna

show you the other dress.

Your daughter's so cute.

She reminds me

of my little sister.

How's your sister

doing with all this?

I don't know.

[Julia]

I hope Apryl likes Oliver.

[Rose]

Sure she will.

I'm not her mom,

I'm her aunt.

My sister wasn't ready

to have a kid,

so I always just raised Apryl

like she was my own,

since she was a baby.

[Rose] Wow, that is

an amazing thing for you to do.

[Julia]

Oh, she was only 16.

I thought when this...

[somber music]

I thought when this all happened

that maybe

she would wanna come back,

and we can tell her

the truth together.

That she would want

to meet her.

She hasn't come back yet.

I think you're a great mom.

I think this is the dress.

Right?

Definitely.

[sighs]

[mellow music]

[Rose]

Oh, come on.

Say cheese.

[Bryan]

93 hours and 22 minutes,

that's the latest estimate.

Okay, keep them coming.

We're talking last suppers

here at KIWA.

All right, Mary,

what's on the menu for you?

[Mary]

Oh, well, my two sons,

Jeremy and Daniel,

are coming over.

[Rose]

Wait, slow down.

[spray paint can spraying]

[Rose] Hey, where are

you guys going?

This all night underground show.

It's like a mile from here.

[woman] They say

it's gonna be the best party

of the rest of your life.

[Michelle] You guys should come.

Uh, we can't,

we're going to see my grandma.

Well, that's too bad,

but...kinda wholesome.

[soft music]

I like your work.

Wouldn't want to go out

any other way.

[woman] So, where are

you guys gonna die?

I don't know.

I guess at my grandma's.

[man]

That's really cool.

Hopefully I'm gonna be

on so much different sh*t

I'm not gonna know

what the f*ck is going on.

[laughing]

[Rose]

Yeah, but, you know,

they say that

it might not even happen.

They have a plan and everything.

[man 2] Yeah, and I'm gonna

be the president of Heaven.

[laughing]

What does that mean?

There's no plan.

They're just saying that

so people don't go crazy

and start rioting--

Okay.

Don't listen to him,

he's overcompensating.

[somber music]

[Bryan] You know,

with everything going on,

I've been thinking about my dad.

A lot.

He never got

to hear me do this job.

He never got to hear me

do any show on the radio.

I wish he had.

I like to think that

he would've been proud of me

at a time like this.

Anyway,

let's take a quick break.

[Michael]

You ever do this as a kid?

[Rose]

Yeah.

We could watch it here.

I wonder what my grandma

thinks about all this.

She's probably not afraid.

She's probably gonna

call me a little b*tch

for being scared.

How sweet.

Ah!

She's not, like,

cold or anything.

She's actually really gentle.

She's one of those people

that acts all tough

and hardened on the outside,

but really she's just

a big softie underneath.

I don't think

I'm gonna be scared anymore

when I see her.

[Michael]

Delivery for Rose.

You still think

you could beat me in a race?

Think?

["Look at What the Light Did

Now" by Little Wings playing]

Hear it like a pounce

upon a peak, oh

[Rose]

You scared?

[Michael]

Oh yeah, terrified.

Bear it like a bounce

upon a beak

Count to three?

Sure.

I'll count.

It's your funeral.

One.

-Two.

-I knew you were gonna cheat!

Hey!

Look at what

the light did now

[Michael]

Oh, come on!

Are you kidding me?

[Rose]

Michael.

Look at what

the light did now

Look at what

the light did now

[vocalizing]

f*ck.

[flies buzzing]

[Rose]

Oh, my God, he's so dead.

[Michael]

Yeah.

We should bury him.

[Rose]

What?

Come on,

let's get him out of there.

Okay...

I'll get his arms,

you just, like, grab his legs.

Like a dead tree

that's dry and leaving

Look at what

the light did now

Play it on me

[Michael]

On three.

Ugh.

Hey, come on.

I would finally

fall to pieces

[Rose]

I'm sorry, sir.

[Michael]

One, two, three.

We'll meet soon as

nephew's nieces

Look at what

the light did now

Oh, look at what

the light did now

Look at what

the light did now

Look at what the light

did now

[vocalizing]

[Rose] Do you think it's true,

what that guy said?

About the plan being bullshit?

No, I don't think so.

If that were true,

why would they say

it probably

wasn't going to work?

Wouldn't they say

it was a sure thing

if they were just trying

to keep everybody

from going crazy?

That's true.

What are they saying now?

I haven't seen anything new.

It's a really pretty one.

Yeah, it is.

[cell phone buzzing]

["Northern Lights"

by Jack Van Cleaf playing]

Maybe you should answer.

[cell phone buzzing]

I just want

You know, the last time

we talked he called me a p*ssy.

And the way that he said it,

it was like...

you could tell he'd been waiting

his whole life to say it.

[vocalizing]

It's okay.

My parents suck too.

[Rose laughs]

I love this song.

[vocalizing]

[Rose hums]

And I just want

-Be careful.

-[Rose giggles]

To breathe

your soul with mine

And become

the Northern Lights

[Rose laughs]

What?

And dance across

the Alaskan sky

Are you high?

Maybe.

[laughing]

[vocalizing]

You need to take some too.

[pill bottle rattles]

Okay.

Turn it up.

[music volume increases]

[vocalizing]

[insects chirring]

I just want

More than anything

To be your everything

And for you to be mine

And I just want

More than anything

To feel your body breathe

Along my side

[vocalizing]

[horse softly chews grass]

[Rose]

My grandma used to say

if she ever caught me

doing drugs

she would k*ll me.

[Michael]

I'm gonna tell her.

[Rose chuckles]

[horse steps softly]

[Michael]

It's crazy.

They have no idea

what's about to happen.

I'm jealous of them.

You wouldn't wanna know?

I would.

No, not me.

I'd want to have no idea.

[Michael]

Just...poof and you're gone?

Poof.

[horse sighs, chews]

[grim music]

Do you still think

there's a chance with that plan?

[music softens]

[Rose]

Hi.

You're so beautiful.

You're so beautiful.

[Bryan]

There are 72 hours and change.

[Michael] Can't believe

we're gonna be there

tomorrow morning.

That's crazy.

[Michael]

I know.

I'm hungry.

You mean that dinner

full of strawberries

didn't fill you up?

[Bryan] Widespread blackouts

are now being reported.

Large squads...

[Michael] Looks like there's a

diner a little bit up ahead.

[Bryan] But as long

as the lights are on...

[Michael]

We could maybe get in.

Okay.

[Bryan]

I'm not goin' anywhere.

-I'll be here.

-[button clicks]

You okay?

I guess I'm a little nervous.

[Michael]

How come?

I don't know,

I just hope she's okay.

I don't really know anything

about the place she's staying.

Well, I'm sure she is.

And from what I've heard

about her,

she seems tough enough

to fend for herself.

That's true.

[engine rumbling]

What are they saying now?

Um...

Not great.

They're still hopeful.

Come on, it's something.

Let's try to get in.

[door rattles]

[window clatters]

[window sliding]

[door bell jingles]

[door bell jingles]

Table for two, please.

Right this way, sir.

Thank you.

Such good service here.

Go sit down.

I'm gonna try

to make us something.

Okay.

[burner clicks on]

[flame billowing]

[kitchen items clattering]

[sizzling]

This maze

is really freaking hard.

[bell rings]

[mumbles through full mouth]

[laughs]

[kitchen items clattering]

[bell rings]

-[Rose hums]

-[Michael] Order up.

Mm.

Oh, my God,

did you have the bacon?

[Rose]

It's so good.

[Michael]

Mm. Mm.

[Rose]

Mm-mm.

Mm. Mm.

[audible swallowing]

[aggressive audible chewing]

Anything else I can get you?

Yeah.

Actually, you,

actually, um,

you got something.

[Rose]

Huh?

-[straw blows]

-[Rose gasps]

Oh, no, you did not.

I did.

Okay.

[Michael]

Oh, let's see what you got.

[water sprays]

What the hell?

It's so hot--

[laughing]

[door bell jingles]

I don't mean anybody any harm.

Wouldn't mind talking

with somebody a little.

Hi, I'm Rose.

[Michael]

Michael.

Hi, Rose and Michael.

What brings you to these parts?

We're going to see my grandma.

You two a couple?

Yeah, we are.

So, what are you doing here?

Uh, well, I grew up

right around the corner

my whole life.

Used to come here all the time

when I was your age.

That place used to kind of be

the hot spot back in the day.

I'm glad you could be here.

Yeah.

I was getting

a little bit lonely.

My wife left me for her dentist

at the start

of this whole thing.

Can you believe it?

Her dentist.

People are insane.

We've seen some crazy sh*t.

Tell me about it.

Wouldn't believe

some of the stuff I've seen

moving around,

out and about.

Are you ever scared

going around by yourself?

Mm, I would have been,

but, what, I'm gonna die?

[chuckles]

Fair point.

He keeps saying he's not afraid.

I'm not.

I used to be really afraid

of dying.

I spent way too much time

thinking about it.

But now that we know,

then, um,

I'm not that afraid anymore.

I guess it was the, um,

fear of the unknown,

uncertainty.

But now it's kind of a relief.

I know I'm not gonna die

of cancer

or get in a car wreck

or an earthquake.

And it's happening to everybody,

so I don't have to feel sorry

for myself.

How'd you two meet?

[Rose]

We went to school together.

Oh, high school sweethearts.

We were just friends back then.

He never made a move.

He was very quiet.

[man] Well, then,

how'd you get together?

Um...we kinda,

I don't know, just, um...

I got it...

[soft music]

When all of this started...

I was in

a really rough relationship.

[g*nshots]

And then, we just

kind of hit the road together.

I'm sorry.

No, no.

Uh, no judgement here.

In fact, I wish

I was more like you guys.

You know, you know what you

want and you take it.

Just a free bird, right?

Wish I had more of that.

We have been all over

the country since then.

We broke into houses,

we camped in, like,

a dozen states.

That's what I mean.

You know, I read this thing

the other day, um,

gentleman's name was, uh,

Othea, um, Loggan, was his name.

The reporter said

that he worked

in the same pancake house

for 54 years.

No raise, no promotion.

He was never a waiter,

or a manager, or even a cook.

Nothing.

When the reporter asked him why,

you know what he said?

"I never asked."

He thought that's all there was.

And that was it.

And he lived

the same life every day,

and went to the same store

and bought

the same lottery ticket

and the same bologna sandwich.

He didn't know

there was anything else.

And that's me in my life.

That's...

That's like me, right?

Didn't know how to ask

for something that I wanted,

or just to take it.

Now, with everything

coming to an end,

I wish I could say I lived

a full life, no regrets.

But I'd be lyin'.

Tryin' to make the most of it

now, though.

That's why I'm staying

out and about.

I love it.

So, what's your grandma's name?

It's Ruth.

Ruth.

Ruth and Rose.

That's cute.

I'm gonna go to the bathroom.

She seems great.

She is.

You two remind me

of me and my wife

when we were your age.

I guess it's better you're

never gonna get to be our age.

[laughs]

Maybe.

Now, what about you?

You got any family

you wanna visit?

My dad's still around,

but we don't really get along.

Happens.

Yeah.

[man] Me and my dad, we didn't

see eye to eye on anything.

He sure did hate my wife

though, yep.

Yeah, but he probably

would have gotten a kick

out of this whole thing.

Never went to his funeral.

Told my friends I didn't care,

but I was lying, of course.

Did go to his grave

months after the fact.

Wasn't all that bad.

Was just a tough

son-of-a-b*tch is all.

Yeah.

But do I look like a guy

you should be

taking advice from?

What do I know?

So, you're really just out here

to stay out and about?

Yep.

And you're really

just not scared?

Are you kidding me, man?

Hey.

We should probably get going.

Oh yeah? Where are we goin'?

Eh, never mind.

Forget it.

Um, yeah...

Nah, I was just kidding.

Thanks for letting me ramble.

I-I am staring at you guys,

and, um, anyway, for me,

it brings back better times.

You know, and I see you

looking at each other...

and both of you

are just a dash of light.

And the only two things

that I've seen

uncorrupted by this sh*t.

You're the best.

Will you k*ll me?

What?

I want you to k*ll me.

[somber music]

I don't want to just

go out...like that.

I'd rather go

with some control.

For once in my life

I want to be in control.

Have some say.

[scoffs]

You're f*ck' crazy, man.

[man]

It's okay.

It's what I want.

I'm sorry, I...

It's okay, forget it.

It was really nice

talking with the both of you.

Have a wonderful time

at your grandmother's.

[g*n thuds]

-See you on the other side.

-[door bell jingles]

[door bell jingles]

[Bryan]

Give me a call at 866--

That was insane.

Yeah.

You seemed to really like him.

He was so honest.

It's kind of amazing

how people get

when they're not inhibited

anymore.

[Michael]

That's one way of putting it.

[Bryan]

But whether or not

this last asteroid-deflection

plan will work out...

I can't believe

you told him all that.

[Bryan] ...about the odds

of people on all sides...

Felt good to get it off

my chest.

[Bryan]

...latest update here.

This is a message

from the government.

He deserved it.

[Bryan]

...to hear for the first time.

I know.

[Bryan]

Well, okay, wow.

I'm truly sorry to be the bearer

of bad news here, folks,

but the mission to deflect

the asteroids was unsuccessful.

Impact will come at 6:15 p.--

[radio shuts off]

You okay?

Mm-hm.

[Rose sighs]

-[rain pattering]

-[thunder rumbles]

What do you think

you would have done

if all this hadn't happened?

I don't know.

I wanted to go to law school.

[Michael chuckles]

What?

You don't think I could have?

Oh, the opposite.

I think you're great at arguing.

You would have been a natural.

Thanks.

[Rose sighs]

What about you?

I wanted to travel the world.

There's a lot of stuff

I wanted to see.

I always wanted

to just say "f*ck it" one day

and just drift.

Go to all the continents,

something like that.

Antarctica and everything.

Mm.

I never left the country.

[thunder rumbles]

Me neither.

[vehicle approaching]

[engine puttering]

[brakes squeaking]

[Michael]

Hey!

[giggling]

[keys jingling]

Oh, wait.

I don't know what room

she's in.

[drawer squeaking]

[papers rustling]

[drawer closing, gasping]

What are you doing?

[Rose]

Where is everyone?

Well, damn near everyone

stopped coming in

when they made

the announcement,

but I couldn't leave.

[Rose]

Thank you.

We're looking for my grandma.

Ruth?

She's in Room 9.

[announcer] Welcome back

to Channel 4's final broadcast.

A reminder that National Guard

units have been dispatched.

[television chatter]

[Rose]

Michael!

[heavy breathing]

[oxygen tank whooshing]

[birds chirping]

Grandma.

I'm sorry to barge in on you

like this,

and I know

that this is crazy, but...

I just had to come see you.

I don't know how much

you've heard or seen,

but something might happen,

and I just wanted you to know

how much I love you

and have always appreciated you

for everything

that you did for me.

And this might be

my--my last chance to tell you.

[oxygen tank whooshing]

This is my boyfriend, Michael.

Come here.

This is Michael.

I have told him all about you.

[soft music]

And he has been so excited

to meet you.

I know that this is a lot,

and I am really sorry

that I've haven't

come seen you recently.

But I knew that

I had to get here.

And I thought that

maybe we could all...

stay together for the...

And look at what I got you.

I remember how much

you always used to love these.

Uh, sorry.

He's so handsome.

[Rose]

Yeah, he is.

I knew you would like him.

I can't believe you're here.

I--I remember when you...

when you used to cut

everybody's grass

in the neighborhood

when I was a little girl.

No, Grandma.

I think you might be thinking

about somebody else.

This is Michael.

This is my boyfriend.

We came to visit you.

[oxygen tank whooshing]

Who are you?

What's your name?

[melancholy music]

I love you.

I knew that she was sick.

I didn't know

it had gotten like that.

I'm really sorry.

You were right,

it was stupid to come here.

At least, you still

got to see her.

-She's here in one piece.

-You stop.

Will you just stop?

Will you stop

spinning everything positive?

-What?

-You just keep acting

like everything is fine,

and everything is not fine!

-Rose.

-Stop!

Just stop it! Stop!

Why are you acting like this?

Why aren't you

acting like this?

Why are you acting

like it's just

some regular f*cking Wednesday,

and we're gonna

wake up tomorrow

and not have it be

our last day alive?

What do you want from me?

Would it make you feel better

if I just bawled my eyes out

and had a tantrum?

Will you stop, please?

This, this whole act

to prove to me

or to you that...

I don't know!

That you're some big,

tough guy?

That's why you can't even admit

that you're scared

that we're all about to die.

Yeah.

Okay.

Fine.

And you.

You...

You want to act

like this tough rebel chick

when it's cool...

but you're really just

a scared little girl.

And you wouldn't have lasted

a day without me.

-I would like to go home.

-We just got here.

She doesn't even know

who I am.

I cannot go see her like that.

Yeah.

We can go find somewhere

to set up, then.

No.

I want to go home.

I want to go see my parents.

After everything

you said about them?

They're still my parents.

You're--you're gonna leave me?

After everything?

[soft music]

I spent my last days alive

driving you here.

Everything that I did,

I did for you.

I didn't do one thing

for myself this whole time.

I dropped everything for you.

I'm sorry, I want to see

my family before I die.

Just because

I'm all that you have

doesn't mean

you're all that I have.

[crickets chirring]

[fire crackling]

[truck creaking]

Couldn't sleep.

Me neither.

I can't believe I left her.

Guess I shouldn't

have been surprised.

Last time I talked to her,

she sounded pretty good.

I'm sorry.

I'm really sorry...

about what I said.

I guess I just thought

that seeing her...

would make me feel better,

or I don't know, I just...

It wasn't stupid

to see your grandma.

-It wasn't?

-No.

Not at all.

I think it was the best thing

I possibly could've

thought to do.

And I bet she'd be really glad

you're going to see

your parents.

I hope so.

I don't know

if I should still go.

Yeah, you should.

You could come be with us

until it happens.

Yeah.

I don't think they'd want

to see me right now.

You were right, you know?

You are all that I have.

The reason I've been okay

is 'cause I've had you.

And I really meant

what I said earlier

about it being easier.

I'm not so bad

when I'm with you.

'Cause when I'm with you,

for the first time in my life,

I...

I really feel truly present...

and just here.

And I'm sorry

for all the bullshit.

I guess I thought

acting all stoic

would make it easier on you

or help, I don't know.

I know.

And it did help.

[soft piano music]

I think you might be

the only person

I've ever really trusted.

[Rose sighs]

Do you ever wish

we did more good

during all this?

What do you mean?

Like, more to help people.

Yeah.

Sometimes.

Come on.

[Michael]

I've been thinking.

I think I want

to go see my dad.

It's not that far

out of the way.

We could stop by there

for a bit tomorrow...

if you don't mind.

Of course not.

That would be so great.

I can't believe

it's really gonna happen.

It only started

to sink in today.

[Bryan] Twenty-eight hours,

35 minutes,

and 42 seconds, folks.

I'll have a proper goodbye

prepared tomorrow.

For now, let's have

a great last KIWA day.

How about it?

Are you nervous?

Yeah.

A little.

[birds chirping]

[glove compartment clicking]

-[door opens]

-[glass shatters]

-[door closes]

-[muffled shouting]

[door slams]

What happened?

He wasn't home.

[sighs]

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Wasn't meant to be, I guess.

Okay.

Close your eyes.

-Why?

-Just do it.

Close 'em.

No peeking.

-Keep 'em closed.

-They're closed.

[Michael]

Okay, open 'em.

Could probably get in.

Yeah?

Maybe stay the night here.

Still get you

to your parents in time.

Hey, wait up.

[truck door closing]

[clock ticking]

I feel like

I'm on a reality show.

[Michael]

What?

Look.

[Rose]

Wow.

Thank you.

[crunching]

[Michael] I wish we had

this place the whole time.

[Rose]

Nah.

It wouldn't have been the same.

["Different" by Estef playing]

How could they just leave

all this behind?

[Michael]

Rich people are weird.

[vocalizing]

Yeah.

Every time we wake up

Or maybe they're dead.

And you see me

with no makeup

And you tell me

I'm beautiful, yeah

Well, I still think

I'm dreaming

But then you go and lean in

And kiss me on the cheek

and it fills my soul

Sorry if I'm anxious

But I've never had this

Had somebody tell me

they love me

-For everything I am

-Ahhh!!

And I know that it's crazy

-Crazy, oh, but, baby

-[Michael laughs]

You could be the one

I've been waiting for

Could you be that man

Yeah

There's something different

'bout ya

There's something different

'bout ya

I can't explain,

no words to say

Baby boy,

you're my everything

[Rose whistles]

No, there's something

different 'bout ya

There's something different

'bout ya

I'm new to this

But I could get used to this

Ow!

[laughing]

Even when we argue

I know that I still want you

You always find a way

Always know what to say

[Michael mimicking

camera shutter]

And every time we make up

Well, all it takes

is one touch

And I'm in love

all over again

We can't leave this bed

Boy, you understand me

Know just what

your girl needs

And you love me

for everything that I am

[music fades, ends]

[Rose]

Should we get married?

[Michael]

You want to?

Yeah.

Do you?

[Michael]

Yeah.

["Different" by Estef

playing again]

There's something

different 'bout ya

There's something

different 'bout ya

[music fades, ends]

[pensive music]

How should we, uh...

I'll go first.

You have saved my life

a couple times.

And there's no one else

I would have rather have gone

through all this with.

I really don't know

what I would have done

without you.

-Plus, you're kinda cute.

-[Michael chuckles]

[Michael sighs]

-You got something...

-What?

-[Michael clucks]

-Come on.

-Sorry.

-[Rose laughs]

I'm sorry.

[Michael sighs]

You're the most beautiful girl

I've ever seen

in my entire life.

And there's probably

three and a half billion of them

on this Earth, and...

I don't think

a single one of them

could ever hold a candle

to you.

"Special" truly wouldn't even

begin to describe you.

[Michael sighs]

And I don't care

if it's only one more day.

I feel like the luckiest man

in the history of the world

to get to spend

the rest of my life with you.

[Rose]

Wow.

That was eloquent.

Yeah, well, I'm no Oliver.

That's for sure.

[chuckling]

[both sigh]

[gentle ambient music]

[man]

Do you, Michael, take Rose

to be your

lawfully wedded wife,

to have and to hold

from this day forward,

for better, for worse,

for richer, for poorer,

in sickness and in health,

to love and to cherish

till death do you part?

I do.

[man]

And do you, Rose--

f*ck, yeah.

[man] I now pronounce you

husband and wife.

You may now kiss the bride.

[Rose giggles]

[bright piano music]

Shouldn't we do, like,

a first dance?

How 'bout a first swim?

[Rose giggles]

[Rose laughs]

Woo!

[splash]

[Rose breathes heavily, laughs]

Oh, what--are you thinking

about getting married again?

Come on!

[splash]

[Rose giggles]

Come here...

Mm, not so afraid

of the water anymore, huh?

There's no alligators

in a pool!

-It's freezing.

-Is it?

[splashing]

[Rose yelps]

Oh...

I don't want to leave you.

I know.

Do you think we would have

ended up together anyway,

if none of this happened?

Yeah. I really do.

God, I wish this could

last forever.

[Michael]

Yeah. Me too.

Maybe we can go back

in the morning.

Maybe your dad

will be there then?

[Michael]

Yeah.

Can't hurt to try.

[water softly lapping]

He was there.

[mournful music]

What?

He was there, my dad.

Why didn't you go in?

I don't know.

Guess I was afraid.

I'm sorry.

-[Michael sniffles]

-It's okay.

I'm sorry.

Hey.

[Michael weeps softly]

I'm sorry.

Why would you be sorry?

I don't know, I'm not,

I'm just...

f*ck!

It's okay.

[Michael cries softly]

It's okay.

[soft roar, expl*si*n]

[whistling blasts]

[fireworks popping]

[birds chirping]

[mechanical clunk, gate sliding]

[Bryan]

Well, folks,

we're coming up

on five hours to go now,

and I just wanted to say

how much I...

[static, voice breaks up]

[radio shuts off]

You know, I've been thinking

about something.

And maybe it actually

won't be as bad as they say.

I mean, they don't

really know, right?

It's all just models

and stuff.

They don't actually know

what's gonna happen

with the impact or whatever.

Yeah. Maybe you're right.

If we survive,

will you come find me?

Course I will.

[engine whines, knocks]

sh*t. f*ck.

[wheels squeak]

f*ck.

[Michael softly exclaims]

[door squeaks]

[door slams]

We should just walk.

[rustling]

[glove box slams shut]

[door opens]

[door closes]

[wind gusting]

[siren wailing]

[solemn music]

You gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Go.

[sarcastic chuckle]

[running footsteps]

[church bell tolling]

[Rose]

Michael!

I'm sorry I left.

It's okay.

-Why did you let me go?

-I don't know.

What about your family?

You are my family.

[Michael sighs]

We still have

a few hours left.

Come on.

Where you goin'?

[Rose sighs]

Trust me.

["Haven" by Joan Shelley

playing]

[Rose exhales deeply]

A haven woven

[Rose]

You ate all the M&Ms again.

-You can have all next time.

-[Rose laughs]

[Rose] God,

it's a really beautiful one.

[Michael] You say that

literally every time.

[Rose] I know, but this time,

I really mean it.

-Forms and binds you

-[Rose sighs]

To mold and carry you

What was it like

seeing your parents?

I didn't even go in.

[vocalizing]

[Rose]

How long until...

[Michael]

I don't wanna check.

[phone buzzes]

I've dealt the cards

I've called my mother

I've held these pieces

for too long

[Rose laughs]

[vocalizing]

Are we gonna feel it?

[wind gusting]

What?

[enormous blast]

[Rose exclaims]

[wind gusting wildly]

I've been thinking

about that man in the diner.

-Yeah?

-Yeah, and he was right,

you know?

We--we did it right.

We lived it up,

we did it right.

We did.

[nearby explosions]

And I'm...

I'm really not sorry

for any of the stuff

that we did.

-I love you!

-I love you so much.

I love you!

[expl*si*n]

Oh! I'm really scared.

[expl*si*n]

Me too.
