Atomic Apocalypse (Black Flowers)

Oh, my God.

- They went this way. - -I'm on it.

I can smell their fear. This way.

They're right behind us. Come on.

Weapons ready. Weapons ready!

Honey, over here.

Prepare to fire!

What are you doing?

Get down.

- I'm so sorry. - -It's OK. It's OK.

I'll live.

Here.

- Get down. - -Here! Get down. Shh.

Fan out!

I can smell you.

Let's go. We lost 'em.

I can't believe they were hiding right under my nose.

Don't worry, we'll get 'em in the end.

Shoo.

Psst. Scat.

Sam? Are you OK?

I'm fine. Just don't fuss.

Hey. Don't be ridiculous, Sam. We can wait here a while.

No. We can't afford to stay here any longer.

No, Dad, listen to Mom. You're hurt.

What, this chicken scratch? Yeah? Watch me.

This is how good I am.

You're a beast.

- Here, give me the bag. - Katie?

Katie, you're in charge now.

Which basically means nothing's changed.

Let's go.

People mean danger. No good will come of 'em.

We gotta head deeper into the forest.

Nature will provide. You'll see.

What the hell was that? A mutant?

It's an elk.

Over there.

Be careful.

- You shot me. - Are you OK?

- Am I OK? What the fuck? - I didn't mean to shoot you.

I don't really care!

- Does it hurt? - Does it hurt? What the fuck?

Want me to take a look at it?

It's not so bad. It's just a flesh wound.

- What are you doing here? - Practicing my golf swing.

Are you stupid?

Buddy, I suggest you answer the lady.

Just passing through and...

- With that bunch of scavengers? - No, no, I'm on my own.

Hunting that goddamn elk. A man's gotta eat.

All the other animals have been acting strange,

like they're... mad or something.

It's all that radiation crap.

Where you passing through to?

What business is it of yours?

We're looking for a safe place to live.

Our last place just got raided. We lost all our stuff.

My husband needs medical attention.

He got shot.

I was heading north-east to an old nuclear bunker

that was built for

an end-of-times apocalypse church cult.

Named Salvation.

It's safe, full of food, booze, medical supplies.

And nobody knows about it.

Booze? How come you're not there already?

I was in California when the apocalypse happened.

It's taken me months to walk here, staying out of sight,

hunting, living off the land.

Till you shot me.

Hey, I feel bad about that, OK?

Not as bad as I do.

- Texas Guitar Massacre fan? - Saw them six times.

Roadied with them on four tours.

Did Europe, Brazil, even Russia.

- Wow. - Oh, no. Not you, too?

In my bag, there's a map.

It's a pretty awful map.

What do you expect? I'm not frickin' Google Maps.

All right, all right. Sorry.

You wanna come with me? Help me find it?

Share the loot?

- Get the medical supplies? - Yes! Sound like a plan?

What do you think, honey? It's up to you.

You got any bullets you can spare?

Two rounds of .38.

Ammo's scarcer than clean water.

Or clean underwear.

OK. We'll go with you to this Salvation bunker.

- What's your name? - Joe.

I'm Kate, this is Sam, and you've already met Suzi.

Hi.

Charmed.

North-east. We're going north-east.

- Cool. Can I try? - We head to the mountain

and look for the blue bridge, then find Salvation.

What do you call a deer with no eyes?

No Eye Deer.

Come on, that was good. You guys are crazy.

You're very funny, you know that?

- Leave the joke telling to me. - -Come on.

You're the leader. You got the gun, I got the jokes.

That's good material. I'm sorry, but that's gold.

It's comedy gold.

I bought some shoes once from a drug dealer.

I don't know what he laced them with,

but I was trippin' all day.

My ears hurt more than my feet right now.

What is this place?

Give me the binoculars.

What do you think? Does it look empty?

We need supplies.

I'm good. Good luck.

- Be careful. - -Joe, keep a look out.

One...

two...

three.

Four.

It's all dead.

Solar charger! Mom, look at this!

It's got a USB.

This is my stuff.

We don't want any trouble.

Just scavenging.

You taste as sweet as you look, girlie?

- Delicious. Nice. - Do not mess with my kid!

You OK, Mom?

It's OK, it's a different world now. We just... do what...

needs to be done.

Let's go.

- Jesus, Joe! - What?

There was a man in there. He could have killed us.

- I didn't see nothing. - "I didn't see nothing."

You're supposed to be the lookout!

I'm sorry. My arm kind of hurts.

Mom bashed his head in.

Oh, you think that's funny?

If you're gonna stay, you gotta do what I say.

- It's my map. - It's like that, is it?

Guys, calm down.

I'm just saying, you need me.

We'll see. We just almost got killed because of you.

- Oh, you gonna shoot me? - Guys, guys! Mom. Joe.

Calm down. We're a team, remember?

Hey. Hey there.

Don't worry, I'm still with you.

- Better be. - I'm not done yet.

How are you doing, darling?

Except for the hole in my gut, I'm perfect.

Which is why you married me, right?

Yes, it is.

So, uh, what did you find?

A-ha!

I got these.

We're going to get you to a doctor, gonna get you to safety,

then we're gonna go swimming,

and it's gonna be just like old times.

- That's perfect. - Yeah.

I'm looking forward to it.

Found this, Dad.

Hey, look at that.

Nicely done.

Let's get that in the sun and get that puppy working, huh?

Why bother? It's been two years.

Well, they always tell you, in times of crisis,

to listen in to emergency frequencies,

but does anyone know how those work,

or how police channels work... or anything?

- No, I do not, Suzi. - Exactly.

So I'm just gonna try calling 911.

That is, if I ever get a signal.

Are you all right, honey?

Ah, don't worry about me. I'm OK till nightfall.

What are those? Black flowers?

It's nothing natural, that's for sure.

Oh, shit. Bad radiation, we gotta go.

Yeah, let's.

Chem clouds! Gas masks!

Let's go.

How'd you guys survive for so long?

Dad kept us hidden. Built a special place.

- What happened? - -I messed up.

Some scavengers followed me home

after I went looking for some batteries.

We got raided, Dad got shot. I got careless.

Hey, don't blame yourself. Just gotta think of the future.

Right.

Why did the tomato blush?

It saw the salad dressing.

Oh, no, why did I laugh?

No, don't make me laugh, it hurts.

We'll camp here.

Suzi, get a fire going.

Joe, check the area.

Who made you king?

Queen, not king.

And no one made me anything.

I was born in charge.

Oh, my God. It works!
