After Impact (2026)

[bunniefuu]

[man] I'm really worried about

the watering system.

We've been using liquid feed

through drip

lines for direct soil nutrition.

And we haven't had problems with

bugs or

scale for a few years now,

so, I'm really at a loss as

to what could be going wrong.

How's the temperature

variation between night and day?

We only do interval heating to

k*ll the botrytis.

[phone ringing]

I mean, you could aim for a

lower temperature at night.

During the summer periods, you

could go

for a 12 to 14 degree

difference between night and day.

[phone ringing]

You really think it's just the

temperature?

I believe so, yeah.

Yeah, I guess that makes sense.

Sorry, I don't know who's trying

to call me.

Ah, no, no worries.

Yeah, naturally you'll find

improvements

in your business, but in terms of

growing, you're doing just fine.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

I'll let you take that, eh?

Yeah.

Hello?

Yes, that's my father.

[rain pattering]



It came as a bit of a shock to

everyone.

I'm sure your father wouldn't

have wanted

to see you like this.

I'm not... like him.

One day, you might be.

We shouldn't stay here for too

long.

[footsteps]

This is all yours now.

Do you know what you're going to

do with it?

I don't know.

I mean, it's one of the biggest

in the country.

Maybe you could run it yourself.

I don't know how to run a

business.

You advise people on how to run

theirs.

That's different.

How?

It's less responsibility.

You'll be okay.

I'm sure of it.

It's too much.

I mean, it's all too much.

God, no, Ethan. You'll be okay.

You'll be all right.

I need more time.

Someone has to run it in the

meantime.

I know.

I just can't.

And Sophie...

I mean, taking a mind off of it

might help.

A friend of mine and partner

Connor are

going to a bar tonight.

Do you know Connor?

Yeah.

You can join us if you want.

Yeah. I'd like that.

Okay.

See you tonight.

[footsteps]



[water bubbling]

[mumbled] How many is Sophie

going to sink?

Two?

Maybe three?

Just wait.

I might clear a whole table.



[ba*ls clacking]

She's not just winning. She's

dominating.

Look at that stoic expression on

her face

[bar chatter]

Oh, but the battle's not won yet.

Ethan flanks the side, hoping to

catch Sophie off guard.

Don't listen to Connor.

He's just talking out of his a*s

again.

Darling would I ever

When have I ever told a lie.

When do you not?

It would be a shame if I were to

ruin your streak.

But the game was already over.

We all see through his lies,

Madaline.

Hm.

[ba*ls clacking]

I'm claiming the championship

title today.

Pressure's on, Connor.

Don't even think about it, Ethan.

[laughing] Unstoppable.

How come I'm the only liar?

Let's get another drink, guys.

What's going on over there?

[on TV, mumbled] Bringing you

breaking news that has the world on edge.

Our top story tonight.

Scientists are closely

monitoring an asteroid that

could be on a

collision course with Earth.

Brie Harrison has more.

You know.

You've been acting differently

lately.

I wonder why.

Did I miss something?

Come on, you can talk to me.

If something's wrong.

I'll consider it.

Let's try it.

Madaline, right.

Apparently she sees right

through me.

If she does, she might as well

leave me

for the man behind me

or whatever she sees on the

other side.

You know what I mean?

That's crazy.

That's not the real you talking.

The real me?

None of you have seen the real

me.

Maybe not.

[chuckles] All right.

It's your turn.

What's bothering you?

[TV chatter]

Ah, I see.

Do you really think you've got a

chance with Sophie?

I don't know.

Listen, I'm going to tell you

this

because we're friends.

Had you asked her a month ago,

then she might have said yes.

But now you're acting different.

You really don't know, do you?

Your father died or something.

Sophie's family's a military

family.

There is no emotion in their

household.

They're the suffer in silence

type.

So I should be more like you, is

that it?

Everybody needs to be more like

me.

Psychopathic?

Yep.

I'm sure she'll fall for someone

like me.

[door squeaks open]

The forecast mentions a storm

coming

through in the next few months.

I think the forecast mentions

something

more than just a storm coming

through.

Yeah, I saw that.

NASA will work its magic.

I hope so.

The last time a flood came

through, all

our silt traps were ruined.

And you know how pricey labor

has gotten.

I might have to get an excavator

and do it myself.

Your team seems rather small

today.

Did the price of labor stop you

from hiring?

No.

News has everyone on edge, so no

one came in today.

Well at least you'll be sorted

for the food shortage.

[Chuckling]

Yeah, I'm not thrilled with the

prospect

of living off potatoes and

onions.

Well, even the best

advice won't help much.

You can consider using more

automated

machinery, but even then,

this land can't be tended alone.

Yeah, I know that, but what more

can we do?

What do you think about the

asteroid?

A healthy amount of skepticism

is useful.

No matter what happens, panic

has already set it,

and that's going to cause us a

lot of problems.

[wind blowing]



[car door shuts]

[man on radio] Well, you know we

all said the doomsday

preppers had lost the

plot, but here we are.

[woman on radio] John, they

didn't lose the plot.

They buried it under the ground.

[man on radio] It's very true,

and now here we are, all

pretending to be their friends.

[woman on radio] Well, I suppose

people will do anything to survive.

[knocking]

[door clicks open]

Ethan, what are you doing here?

Is this a bad time?

Um, well, no, now it's fine.

Okay, well, we have known each

other for a long time, haven't we?

Yeah, it's been a while.

This is hard for me to ask, but

what

would you say to us being

something more than friends?

I wasn't expecting that.

That's okay, I wasn't expecting

to be able to ask.

Look, Ethan, I don't... I don't

know how to

put this, but you're not my type.

I'm sorry.

You don't think we could try?

Everything alright, Sophie?

Look, Ethan, I think you should

go.

[door creaks shut]



[on TV] We are closely

monitoring asteroid XZ987.

The chance of collision

is small, but

we're taking every

precaution and asking

the public to stay informed.

Our first probe mission

was unsuccessful.

We're analyzing data and

recalibrating

our approach to this

unprecedented challenge.

We just hope that... we

are not out of time.

NASA is urgently

training astronauts

for a possible

interception mission.

This critical effort highlights

the severity of the situation.

[woman on TV] As news of the

potential asteroid collision spreads,

People are rushing to

stock up on supplies

and seeking shelter.

There's a sense of panic

in the air

as uncertainty looms

over communities world wide.

[cars honking]



[footsteps splashing]

[sliding]

[on TV] Tonight the world is

facing an unprecedented crisis

As a colossal asteroid

hurtles towards earth

At an alarming speed.

The situation is

critical as we stand

just days away from what

could be a devastating impact.

Ethan.

Ethan, can I talk to you?

What for?

I feel bad about last week.

What's done is done.

Yeah, I know, but we're still

friends, right?

We can talk like adults.

And, what would us adults talk

about?

You've already apologized.

Can we look past that?

Does Madeline know about you and

Connor?

I don't know.

And as I told her, I

think Madeline would feel.

I know, I screwed up.

Sounds like a real adult to me.

Ethan, stop being so childish,

okay.

I haven't come to start a fight.

Connor doesn't want anything to

do with

me and I have nowhere else to go.

Please leave.

Please, there is space.

I said, leave.

Please.

We are done talking.



[footsteps]

[sighs]

[man on TV] This could be the

most trying time that

humanity has ever faced.

And in these finally

hours I urge you to

be with loved ones.

Find solace in each other.

[emergency alarm]

And hold onto the memories that

define our shared humanity.

[emergency alarm]

[phone chiming]



[phone dialing]

[ringing]

[Sophie's voice mail] Hey, uh,

it's Sophie. I can't come to the

phone right now, but

please leave a

message after the beep.

[phone beeps]

[door clicks open]

[car door clicks open]



[traffic noise]

[honking]

Heavenly father, In this moment

of uncertainty and fear,

we come together as a

community, united

in love and faith as we face

the unknown.

Sophie! Sophie!

[man] We seek your comfort and

peace.

Surround us with your divine

presence and

fill our hearts with

courage and strength.

Grant us the grace to cherish

each of the

moments we have shared.

The laughter,

the love, and even the tears.



[man] Help us to find solace in

our unity and

the bonds that we have

forged over a lifetime.

[running footsteps]

We entrust ourselves and

and our world to your merciful

care.

[woman] Oh my God.

I can hear you.

Yes.

Yes, I'm not alone.

[woman] It's so nice to hear

someone.

Are you doing okay?

[woman] It's cold and dark.

Yeah.

Yeah, it is.



Is anyone with you?

[woman] No.

I'm the only one here.

Are you alone too?

Yes.

Have you been alone this whole

time?

[woman] No.

I'm going to keep talking with

you.

Is that okay?

[woman] Yes, please do.

What's your name?

[woman] Elle.

My name is Elle.

I'm Ethan.

[Elle] Ethan, I like that.

How have you survived up to now?

It's a long story.

How much time do you have.

[Elle] Don't worry I've got time.

I can't walk on it yet, let

alone travel.

[Elle] It would be suicide

to travel out there now.

Do you know how long the

winter's going to last?

[Elle] We're kind of in a

mini ice age.

I think the winter

will last for almost a year.

How long has it been, since the

impact?

[Elle] I don't know, I've

lost track.

There's no light outside.

So it's hard to tell.

[Ethan] Fire at A3.

[Elle] Miss.

[static]

Fire at C2.

Hit.

[Elle] I'm doing very well.

All right, fire at B5.

[Elle] Miss.

You just can't find

my ships, can you?

And how do I know you're not

lying?

[Elle] Oh, come on now, I

would never lie.

Well, you haven't won yet,

so I still have a chance.

[Elle] Okay.

D2.

Oh, you're joking.

[Elle] I'll presume that I

have now won?

Yes.

Yes you have.

How cold is it where you are?

[Elle] It's bad, it's really bad.

You'll stay strong for me, right?

This cold ain't nothing we can't

handle.

[Elle] Yeah.

You as well.

[hand-set clicking]

The pain in my leg's gone.

[Elle] Really?

But it doesn't move all that

well.

[Elle] How does it look? Is

it discolored?

It's got a reddish-white tint.

[Elle] Ethan.

That's not good,

that's not good at all.

Can you stand up and start

stretching it?

[ominous music]

[heavy breathing]

Ellie, I can't feel my leg at

all.

[Elle] It's frozen, you need

to warm it.

Can you start a fire?

You're bandages, were

probably still damp from washing it.

[Elle] Don't heat your leg

up too fast.

If you heat all of your body the

blood should reach your leg eventually.

Ellie?

I don't want to lose my leg.

[Elle] Who was the one

telling me to stay strong?

Yeah.

[Nervous laughter]

Do you have any fears Ellie?

[Elle] Plenty.

Like what?

[Elle] Let's see.

I'm afraid of spiders,

the monster under my bed.

The thought of being alone,

terrifies me.

But I try to not let

my fears get to me.

[fire crackling]

[wind blowing]

Ellie, if you could have any

food in the

world right now, what would it

be?

[Elle] I'd have to think.

There's so many things.

Pancakes with maple syrup.

A bacon and egg bagel.

Ah yeah, alright. So how about

something

that we can actually grow?

[Elle] Do you know what I

miss now that I think about it?

What's that?

[Elle] Strawberries. What I

would do for

strawberries right

now, that would be

what I miss the most.

[hand-set clicking]



[box sliding]

Well, I have a surprise for you.

[Elle] Do you have them?

I have the seeds.

[Elle] No way, are you serious?

Yeah.

[Elle] Alright, I'm packing

my things.

I'm heading your way right now.

Just a few more months to go.

[Elle] We're gonna make it

through this, Ethan.

For the strawberries.

[Elle] Yes.

For the strawberries.

[crank whirring]

[Ethan] Rise and shine, the sun

is out

and the birds are chirping.

[Elle] Neither of those

things are true.

Yeah, but what's life

without a bit of imagination?

[Elle] Right, and I suppose

the bucket barista is here,

brewing us a coffee.

Pancakes, bacon and eggs,

life doesn't get any better.

[Elle] What are your

exciting plans for today?

Well, I was thinking of visiting

the

local hairdresser for

a trim in a beard grooming.

[Elle] Now that sounds thrilling.

I might take a stroll

in the park,

read another chapter in the sun,

or perhaps do some sketching.

What would you draw?

[Elle] You know, If you

describe yourself.

I could try draw a

portrait of you.

Alright.

Well, where should I start?

[Elle] Hmm, Let me see.

Let's start with the

facial structure.

Okay. Picture a jawline chiseled

by the gods,

cheekbones as sharp as razer's,

hair like an ocean wave.

[Elle] Uh-huh. And in reality?

In reality?

[Elle] I'm just saying I believe

you, but I have a funny feeling.

Well, if you just picture the

perfect male face.

[Elle] Ethan.

Alright, fine.

Shall I get a ruler?

[Elle] Yes. That would help.

Seventy, eighteen, nineteen,

twenty.

And now we do fifty crunches.

[Elle] Got it. Then we do my

exercises.

Only if you get to fifty before

me.

[Elle] Ah, easy.

Oh, you think so?

[Elle] Now, reach under your

left arm?

Oh, I don't think I can manage.

My leg is still broken.

[Elle] I know for the first

fact, that's a lie.

But do take it easy on your leg.

How's your food situation, Ellie?

[Elle] It's fine.

I'm conserving a bit.

I've noticed that you've stopped

talking about when you eat.

[Elle] I'm not running out,

but I do need to be careful.

You know, it's not as

cold, as it used to be?

[door creaking]



[footsteps]

It does feel warmer.

Looks like we've got a bit of

snowfall, though.

[Elle] I'm located close to

the mountains.

I haven't seen them in so long.

Well, I know it's warmer,

but going outside is still too

risky.

She's already left.

[Elle] Ethan.

Yeah?

[Elle] I can't open my door.

Are you safe?

[Elle] I should be. A lot of

snow just covered my bunker.

Is the bunker holding up okay?

[Elle] It has up until now,

but the door's bending a little.

Okay, listen to me.

Tell me exactly where your

bunker is.

[Elle] It's too far, Ethan.

Just describe it to me.

[Elle] Okay, um.

It's about 500 meters from the

base of atlas mountain,

from the north side.

There's a river from the

mountain about a kilometer west.

But Ethan, don't

come. It's too dangerous.

I don't believe it.

You're running out of food, and

I've got plenty for the two of us

[Elle] Ethan, please, don't

risk your life.

I'm not taking the risk of

losing you.

[Elle] Ethan, please, don't

do this.

[metal jangling]

[Elle] Don't. Please, you'll

die out there.

It's going to be a ten-hour walk.

[Elle] Just let me go, Ethan.

Ethan.

[Elle] Ethan.

[Ethan] Elle.

You made it.

I'm here now.

I thought I was going to die

alone.

You're not going to die. Don't

go up yet.

The sun has come through the

clouds. Spring is here.

We can be warm again.

You need to warm up.

Can I make a fire?

I've burnt everything.

I can use my body heat.

Thank you. Ethan.

For talking to me.

I'm here.

I can still...

I can.

Elle.

Elle. Elle, wake up.

Wake up, Elle.

Don't leave me.

Don't leave me.

Elle, I'm sorry.

Sophie.

[whispers] Sophie.

Jessie, get away from him.

Are you afraid of someone with

no weapons?

We don't know him, do we?

Where are you from?

We can't answer that.

Why not, Jack?

You know why.

All right, tin man.

Please don't call me that.

Are there others in your group?

Yes.

There's a few of us left.

And Jack here is in charge of

taking out

those who don't belong.

Can I meet your group?

Do you have any food?

Stashed away somewhere?

I might do.

Great.

See, Jack?

He has food and supplies.

Fine.

But we have to leave now,

and get back to the camp.

[footsteps]

Are you coming or not?

How many of you survived?

It's complicated.

I mean we've got time?

We're a bunch of different surviving

groups that found each other.

At one point, there are about 30

of us.

And now?

What happened?

I think Jack can explain it

better than I can.

Are you going to be like this

the whole trip?

Do you want to explain it to

him, or should I?

There's nothing to explain.

We have all survive up to this

point havn't we?

[people chatting]

Shall we get you cleaned up,

then?



[water lapping]

[knife flicking]

This should be sharp enough.

[gravel crunching]

Did you manage to harvest

anything?

Nothing.

Storm wiped out most of our

crops.

You don't have any drainage.

What do you mean?

The water can't run off, so it

just

sits and drowns the crops.

We haven't tried planting since.

We lost most of our seeds anyway.



Is everyone starving?

It's complicated.

Let's hope he likes you, Ethan.

Otherwise, there's nothing we

can do for you.

Something I need to be worried

about?

We'll find out.

[footsteps]

Connor.

We didn't find much food, but we

found someone

that might have some for us.

Ethan.

Didn't think I'd see you again.

Should be cause for celebration,

aye?

Two friends managed to find each

other

in these troubled circumstances.

What are the odds of that?

Very low.

How did you survive?

Of course.

I'll tell you my story, but I'm

eager to hear yours.

How's, um... what was her name

again?

Blonde hair.

Blue eyes.

Sophie.

Sophie.

How is she?

She didn't make it.

What a shame.

And also, it's a shame about

your father.

Connor, there isn't enough food.

We searched the city over again,

and we couldn't find anything.

I know.

But you found something better.

Me and Ethan are very good

friends,

and we've known each other a

long time.

He's going to be a very valuable

asset to the camp.

In what way?

You don't have any food, do you?

No.

But you do know how to grow it.

We are going to run out of food

in the next few days.

And if it's anything like the

last time...

Jessie, why must you always

doubt me?

You were part of the search

party.

You failed to find us food.

All we have to do is send

another search party.

Problem Solved.

Now,

I'm going to talk to Ethan alone.

So get out.

[footsteps]



You piece of sh*t.

How did you survive?

Well, knowing a lot of people

has its benefits,

even those you disagree with.

I was friendly enough to swindle

my way into a doomsday bunker.

Yet, another person you take

advantage of.

Well, no. Not really.

I mean, they don't want to be

alone for two years straight.

I think anybody would go crazy

after enduring something like that.

Which is why I am so grateful

that you're

in such good health after your

time alone.

And we are changed men now,

aren't we?

That we are.

[gravel crunching]

Hey.

Come on.

Ethan, this is our record

collector.

He spends his time searching for

any books and trinkets.

Anything that he finds, he

brings to me.

Now, you know what intrigues me,

Ethan?

What's that?

Science.

See, Desmond here is good at

letting

me know about these books when

he finds them.

Isn't that right?

I wasn't expecting you so I

thought...

I need to be the first to know.

Most of the books here are

fiction.

Well, I like to keep the books

safe.

From what?

You never know.

Anyway, have a look around.

I've got my duties.

So does everybody else.



[approaching footsteps]

You hungry?

If everyone else is starving,

they should have it.

It's fine.

Take it.

You didn't want to pitch your

tent closer to camp?

I'm still an outsider.

Everyone seems rather cold

towards me.

We lost 10 people from

starvation. So.

They probably just see you as

another mouth to feed.

You don't seem to mind.

We shouldn't have lost 10 people.

Did you lose someone close to

you?

That must have been difficult.

We shouldn't have been this

desperate for food.

[footsteps walking away]

[Jack] The parts of the city

that we're going to be covering

havn't been raided since before

the impact.

I'm sure this place would have

been nice.

Yeah.

It was.

So how do you know Connor?

It's complicated.

Of course it is.

Nothing.

Same on my side.

We might have already searched

this place on other trips.

How far up the building did you

go?

As far as we could.

So you haven't been to the top?

You can't get to the top of most

of these buildings.

Well then you haven't searched

most of the city.

You don't have to follow me if

you don't want to.

This is going to be fun.

Come on, let's go.

No, that's crazy.

That's fine.

Then stay here.

Alright I will.



Are you afraid, Jack?

No, I'm...

How are you not.

I am.

You don't have to follow us if

you don't want to.

[Jessie grunts]

He doesn't listen to anyone but

Connor.

All right.

Where do I go from here?

There's a ledge around the side.

Did you really need to bring the

g*n?

How are you feeling, Jack?

Not so hard after all.

[Jack sighs]

The f*ck am I doing?

You got this, Jack.

Say it.

I've got this. I've got this.

That's it.

[Jack grunts]

[Ethan] You made it.

[heavy breathing]

Never again

[Ethan] The hard part's over.

You were right?

And how far have you searched?

Just this room.

Should we open them now?

Sure.

But would it not be smarter to

take it back to the camp

so we can divide it up between

everyone?

I have to ask and Jessie, I want

you to listen as well.

What's wrong?

What's your opinion of Connor?

He is our leader.

And we do whatever he says

because he knows what's best.

And Jack?

Well, what's it to you?

I need to know your answer.

Connor's fine.

He kept us alive.

How?

What has he done to keep you

alive?

He made all the necessary

decisions.

For himself or for the group.

That's close enough.

There's something you're not

telling me.

[g*n c*ck]

We were starving, all right?

And you never counted the food?

No, Connor keeps track

of all the resources.

And you never bothered to

check how it's distributed?

No, because we trust him.

So why do you carry shame with

you?

What really happened?

Tell him, Jack.

Tell him what Connor made you do.

To alleviate the hunger

Some of us had to go.

And you had to do it?

We were starving. We had no

choice.

[Ethan sighs]

We will return to camp with only

10 cans.

Watch how they are distributed.

And we will wait until everyone

begins to starve.

We can't do that.

Why not?

I can't watch another person

starve.

No one will die.



The sun's getting low.

I say we spend tonight here.

[footsteps walking away]



[bag unzipping]

[fire crackling]

Do you forgive Jack?

Sorry.

I shouldn't have asked.

It's getting late.

I might join Jack.

Get some rest.

He didn't have a choice.

Otherwise, we...

We could have all died.

Is that true?

No.

It's just easier to believe.

You know, he was the only thing

keeping me here.

Now...

I don't know what to do.

I just want to be free.

Of all of it.

Jack?

Jessie and Jack are back.

Ethan, I didn't approve of you

leaving the camp.

I need to know where everyone is.

I asked him to go.

Well, you should have known

better.

How much did you find?

We found...

Just a few cans.

Oh, that's a shame.

The next time, if you don't find

enough,

don't bother coming back.

Less mouths to feed.

Why don't we make our

expeditions more efficient?

You have a mechanical

engineering book.

We could find a car, fix it up,

find a way to make fuel.

We need food now. We don't have

time or resources to spare.

You don't have the book anymore,

do you?

Look, Ethan, I understand that

you're new here.

You don't know how we do things,

but it's just not that simple.

Oh, I think it is and you're

making it difficult for everyone.

We're done talking.



[dirt sifting]

[packages rustling]

[Connor] Due to a crisis in our

camp, we've

been forced into another

difficult situation.

I need your order to be brave

for me.

In fact, you all need brave for

yourselves.

We'll all go out in search of

food.

If you find anything, you may

return.

How many cans did he give out?

Four.

If you don't find anything,

don't bother coming back.

[Ethan] We came back with 10

cans didn't we?

Like last time, my hands have

been forced.

And you must all understand I

only do this

for our groups survival.

The woman can stay, but the men

must all leave.

Is there not another way, Connor?

Not allowing anyone to return

without any food is extreme.

I wish I had not come to this.

And what about you?

Will you also join us?

Someone's got to stay here to

keep the place running.

I think everyone here will

do just fine on their own.

I also want to point out

that we brought back more cans

than you distributed.

That's a lie.

I gave out what we received.

Where are the other cans?

There were no other cans.

No other cans?

And what about the farm?

Seems like someone dug up

the crop during a storm.

That's enough.

Get Ethan out of here.

No.

We'll hear Ethan out.

The truth is, Connor, we found

food.

We found plenty of food.

But I only brought back 10 cans

because I wanted to see

the kind of leader that you

really are.

I only do what's best for this

group and our survival.

You have only made choices based

off your own selfish wants.

Even before the impact, you were

a shallow man

with no thought or consideration

of others.

Jack, shut him up.

People in this camp, with their

lives, loved ones,

hopes, and dreams, were

unnecessarily snuffed out

by your selfish actions.

You think you're tough?

You think you have what it takes

to lead?

You're a weak man, and you

always have been.

I've changed.

Bullshit.

You've only ever leached off

others like me.

Without me, you're nothing.

I've done just fine the past few

years.

We've got plenty of work to do.

It's about time we became

something more than just survivors.

Are we going to continue to be

hungry?

Why did we ever listen to you?

[indistinct chattering]

[heavy breathing]

I'm sorry, Connor.

[Connor] Jack.

I appreciate everything you've

done for me.

I do.

We worked hard to keep the place

running, didn't we?

I'm not so sure anymore.

This is probably the last time

we see each other.

Come here.

Come closer.

Well, what are you going to do

now?

I don't know.

Might travel.

See the wonders of the world.

I think it's for the best, eh?



[grunting]

-[choking]

-[indistinct]

[quick breathing]

[gravel crunching]

[jacket unzipping]

Why couldn't you just fall in

line like everyone else?

Huh?

I had everything under control

until you showed up.

Where's Jack?

I do everything for this camp.

Me, Ethan, it's my

responsibility.

It's not yours.

You don't get it.

People were starving.

And you took all the food for

yourself.

I only took those cans because I

need to survive.

I'm the one who needs to leave

this camp.

And if I die, this camp dies.

So what do you want me to do?

Go back to the camp and tell

everyone to welcome you back

with open arms?

Yes.

Because I'm the only one that's

strong enough to lead them.

People are dying.

Everyone at the camp has lost

their trust in you,

and you will not be able to get

it back.

That's bullshit.

You try to control everyone and

manipulate

everybody who has faith in you.

Shut your mouth.

You failed him, and I feel sorry

for you.

-[g*nsh*t]

-[groaning]

I don't need your sympathy,

Ethan. [laughs]

[grunting]

You have taken everything from

me, Ethan.

Everything.

And this.

This is my camp.

[g*n c*ck]

-[grunting]

-[thudding]

[laughs]

We don't need to fight.

Yeah.

Yeah, we do.

[grunting]

-[thudding]

-[water splashing]

-[grunting]

-[thudding]

You'll never be tough enough.

You're weak.

And you always have been.

-[thudding]

-[water splashing]

[gasping]

[laughs]

[water bubbling]

[Elle] Who was the one telling

me to stay strong?

Do you have any fears, Ellie?

[Elle] Plenty.

[Ethan] Like what?

[Elle] The thought of being

alone terrifies me.

Ellie? Ellie, wake up!

Wake up, Ellie!



Nothing has changed!

Nothing at all.

You can't even save a single

f*cking person.

[water splashing]

[screams]

[water bubbling]

[Elle] But I try not let my

fears get to me.

Wake up, Ethan.

[water splashing]

[grunting]

[Ethan] Let it go.

Let it go.

[grunting]

Find that voice.

That little boy inside your

f*cking head.

[grunts]

[Ethan] The one in pain.

You tell him.

Tell him it will be alright

Let it go.

[screams]

[Ethan] Let it go.

[screams]

[gasping]

[footsteps splashing]

[heavy breathing]

[crying]

[grunts]





Hey.

Are you all right?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'm fine.

So, what are you going to do now?

Not look back anymore.
