Fear

[Joe Voiceover, reads on screen text]

Dad?

No, son, stop !

Run, run!

Josh, it's me, it's me, please.

It's me, it's me, okay, it's me.

The heat, the fire, is how they hunt.

It's how they'll find us. You need to think.

Do you understand me?

Do you?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, you okay?

You're okay, you're okay.

Come on, let's get you out of this.

Let's get this off you.

Come on, we'll get it off you.

Every second counts now, all right?

You need to breathe, you need to focus

and you need to concentrate.

Do you understand?

Do you understand?

Okay, there you are, take my coat.

Take my coat.

Take my coat.

Yeah, there you go.

How's that?

How's that?

How's that?

Okay.

Let's go home, okay.

Let's go home.

What's wrong?

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Let's move, all right? We're almost home.

Let's go, come on, come on.

Son of a bitch, let's go. Come on, Josh.

Come on, let's go, let's go.

Come on.

Dad.

Get over here.

Get over here, get over here.

All right, look, look at me. Look at me.

All right, stay close.

- Okay. - Okay?

I need you to stay close to me.

- You ready? - Yes.

Go.

Come on.

Come inside.

Oh, fuck.

Sh.

Wait.

Wait.

Dad, Mia.

Oh no, don't look.

- Mom? - Don't look, don't look.

Don't look, okay?

I need you to be strong.

I need you to check on your sister, okay?

I need you to be strong, for all of us.

All right?

Hide now.

Hide, okay?

No, please, my children.

Joe.

Mia?

I heard them, out in the barn.

When I checked this one, the other one got in.

I had to.

How bad is it?

Gas, food, meds.

Anything they could grab.

But that was our stuff.

Ethan, we can't stay.

Are you hurt?

Keep shining, beautiful.

Did you hear me?

I'm fine.

I'm just a little shook up.

Why don't you let me take you downstairs?

I told you, I'm fine.

Dad!

No no, no no, stay there.

Ethan. Ethan.

Ethan, open your eyes.

Ethan, if you can hear me, please open your eyes.

Josh, grab my flashlight please.

Ethan, look at me.

Okay, don't do this.

Thank you.

Don't do this, damn you.

Ethan, Ethan.

Ethan!

Dad, wake up.

Wake up.

Wake up. Dad, wake up.

Mom, he's not waking up.

I know, honey, hang on.

Come on.

Wake up, come on.

Come on, baby.

Wake up.

Josh, he needs water.

Come on, baby girl.

I want you to take this rag right here,

put some water on it, and squeeze it into his mouth.

Okay, now that's it, now that's it.

I'm right here.

I'm right here.

That's it.

I'm right here.

Back away.

Why don't you go downstairs? I'll meet you there.

Sorry.

I know it's not a toy.

I was just practicing.

Focus, don't hesitate.

Did you sleep good?

Where's your mom?

Garbage duty.

I tried to help, but she told me to wait here.

You found me down here all by yourself, huh?

Yep.

Nice try.

I wanted you to be here,

so when you woke up, you wouldn't be afraid.

What I tell you about being afraid?

That it's not real.

Give me that.

Sit down.

It's very real, son, fear.

I've seen it.

It kills dreams. It kills hope.

And there's no running from it. There's no hiding.

It's always going to be there.

But you always have a choice.

It's how you use that fear that matters.

Don't let it control you.

If you do, it'll take over, paralyzing you.

You never look scared.

I hide it better than most.

Why?

Because I need to be strong.

To lift up stuff?

Close.

Dad?

Yeah?

I'm always scared.

Come here, son.
