Edge of Extinction

Coming?

What do you want?

What?

Please...

I'll do anything.

Don't kill me! Don't kill me!

Just take everything! Take it all!

I don't need it!

No, don't kill me, don't kill me please!

No!

Please!

No, please!

I've never seen him so close.

EDGE OF EXTINCTION

...for retaliation.

For viewers just joining us,

we're looking at images of the nuclear attack

on the Turkish capital

that happened 3 PM this afternoon.

No warning...

Come and see, quick!

...this was completely unexpected, despite the escalating conflict.

Oh my God.

Dad...

Is there a bomb?

...immediate cessation to facilities.

Yeah, it's a long way a way from here, though.

Did people die?

Yes.

One for me,

one for you.

- What do you want? - Who are you with?

Who are you with?

They're close by.

You're a bad liar.

We're both alone.

Why would you tell me that?

Why are you here?

Why do you think?

Are you living close by?

It's none of your business.

I haven't eaten in days.

I can trade for food.

There's nothing in that bag worth a mouthful.

There's other things I can trade.

You could do those things to whoever is waiting outside.

I'm alone.

My group's dead a long time ago.

Please.

I'll do anything.

Stop following me.

I won't give you any more.

Please, just listen.

I haven't seen any of us in months.

You can trust me, I swear.

You can't leave me here.

Watch me.

What's wrong with me?

I'm not bad.

I'm like you.

You don't know anything about me.

If you wanted to hurt me, you would have done it already.

I'll prove myself to you.

Let me come with you.

How stupid do you think I am?

Take what I've given you and fuck off.

You've given me a day's worth of food.

I'm starving.

I have nothing.

I'll do

anything you want me to do.

Just...

Please.

Don't leave me here.

I don't trust anyone.

There could be others.

They want what we've got.

I won't let them.

You think it's just her?

How can I be sure?

Sure of what?

Sure I can trust you.

Just give me one chance.

Please.

One chance.

I know you would.

The bird?

It's in my bag.

Come.

In!

How long have you been here?

A long time.

Have you always been on your own?

You ask too many questions.

How long have you been alone?

Only a few months.

- My group was killed. - By who?

- I don't know. - Far from here?

I've been on the road for weeks.

You see, I haven't seen many road traps these days.

There's no one else left to prey on.

Road rats killed my group.

How long have you been alone?

Years. Me and my brother found this place.

Out of the way where no one comes looking.

Is that who you were talking to before?

He didn't survive the nuclear winter.

I lost my family during the war.

My real family.

Drink this.

I'll make dinner.

What are those markings?

On the map?

Places even road rats should avoid.

I'm not one of them.

How many people have you killed?

None.

Your group?

- How many did they kill? - We've got a right to defend ourselves.

Why would you bring me here if you think I'm a road rat?

You're no threat to me.

You think I've survived this long by being pathetic and helpless?

You said you didn't kill anyone.

There are other ways to look after yourself.

I've always had people protect me.

Good for you.

Is that what you were thinking?

You wanted to protect me?

You're in my home.

This is my food.

I don't have to justify myself to you.

- Have you ever been with a girl? - No more questions. Eat.

Don't you want me?

Whatever you think I want...

you're wrong.

Now, if you want to stay here, shut up and eat.

When was the last time you touched somebody?

- Sorry. - Why are you doing this?

People need each other.

- It's all we've got left. - You're wrong.

People have taken everything from me.

My mother when I was a kid, my brother before the sky cleared,

he kept me safe all those years. He should have seen the sun again.

We've all lost people.

Yeah and I have learned my lesson.

I'm not going to risk my life helping strangers.

No kindness left in this world.

Just savages who survive by stealing and killing.

And you've lived that life.

- I can see it. - It doesn't change who I am.

I'm not a bad person because I choose to live!

By hurting people.

I don't steal.

I don't kill.

Who are you to judge?

All you do is look out for yourself. Where's the kindness in that?

You could help others,

but instead you hoard all this food and leave them to starve?

That's all it is. Survival by any means.

Just because you can do it better, that doesn't make you kind or good.

Kindness is a weakness.

Being weak gets you killed.

So you're just like everyone else? That's why we're in this shit.

It's not because of the war, or the long winter,

it's because people stopped helping each other as soon as things got hard.

We should sleep.

You're over there.

Able-bodied men, 18 to 45...

how can they do this?

We'll be okay. Things will get better.

How can you say that?

I mean, they're not even reporting

what's happening over there anymore.

Everyone says it's bad.

It's just a precaution.

- Things are fine where they are. - It's terrible here!

I mean, there's been looting since the banks closed,

I don't go into town.

You're exaggerating. It's just a couple of shops.

- I don't want you to go. - That makes two of us.

I don't want to go either.

But I have to.

- Did you find it? - Yeah.

- What did he make you do? - Nothing.

I've picked him.

We move on.

You're the man of the house till I get back okay?

Don't let them out of your sight.

Okay?

Call me as soon as you can, okay?

Everybody on the bus. We leave in two minutes.

- Are you sure he's alone? - Yeah.

This...

is an awful lot of stuff for just one boy, don't you think?

Yeah, I reckon so.

I mean, you've got more stuff than all three of us put together.

- How is that fair? - I could share it with you.

No, the deal we are offering is everything you have for your life.

What?

All your food and anything else we want, and you might get to live.
