The Last Survivors (The Well) (The Well)

Maybe the cap you started with was too thick.

We have time. We'll find one that fits.

...It's not gonna last.

I'm thirsty.

My tongue is swollen up bad.

I never thought our hiding place would outlast our well.

Is anyone out there?

Can anyone answer me?

Can you hear me?

Anyone?

Anyone...

He)” Upstairs!

I'll check the attic.

Sure.

Don, there's nothin'.

There is no water here.

- Dave, what about-- - Let's just go.

Water.

Water.

Thank you.

Is anyone else with you?

The others, they left you here?

Oh.

You could rest here awhile.

You can't walk out of the valley.

Even if you weren't injured...

I'm not trying to walk out of the valley.

My sister's on the far side.

I just need enough water to make it to my sister.

She isn't well.

You can't stay here, either.

I'm okay. I have my plan.

They're always hunting.

You stay put, they'll find you.

Or your well will go dry, whichever's first.

They're hunting in the south.

It's safer to go north.

Keep it.

Wait.

Stay lucky.

I'm good.

Where's Dean?

Hunting up some food.

He's getting worse, isn't he?

Kendal...

Remember when this was all rice paddies?

Catching all those frogs?

Do you think it'll ever rain again?

So you found a wreck?

Yeah, just outside the pumping field.

It's new.

Two, maybe three weeks.

We should be able to find something.

Thanks.

You know I can help you.

Heard Island.

All that cold water.

That's a good spot then.

Plane lands on a bright green field,

pumping lightly along until it comes to a rest

next to a low stone wall,

built hundreds and hundreds of years ago

by the earliest explorers.

There's a stone building not far in the distance

with a cold stream connecting the snowcap mountains above

to the blue-grey sea below.

And if you wipe the steam off the cockpit window,

you can see penguins and sheath piles

and elephant seals

covering the black mange.

...And I'm scared.

Can anyone help?

I'm on the Dover farm.

And someone is outside.

He's got a mask.

I'm so scared.

Can anyone help?

What's going on?

Someone's at the Dover farm.

You shouldn't go.

You always did.

You'll be okay without me.

It's not me I'm worried about.

Stay lucky.

...And I'm scared.

I'm so thirsty. Please come.

Our well has gone dry.

We have no more water.

There are others hiding out there,

parasite drinking my water.

Pick up the radio and try again.

Please, let these two--

Pick up the radio and call out again

or I'll have these two shot.

People used to show mercy.

Wells go dry.

People change.

There are no more farms.

There's no more farms, they're all done in.

Please.

You don't want to kill her.

There's a man of God in here.

We're not going to hurt you.

You must be thirsty.

They're always thirsty. Give her some of my water.

Come on.

Mr. Carson! Mr. Carson!

It's a trap! It's a trap!

Ah!

This is a fine house.

My grandfather always admired it.

Search it.

Then on to the next. We're finished here.

They're like rats eating a sandwich.

You! Keep tearing this farm apart.

We'll take the kitchen.

Look how sweet, father.

Someone closed her eyes.

Pray for her, Cadiz.

Pray for each of these desperate, thirsty souls.

You'd think after ten years of no rain

they'd give up.

There can't be many left.

We're going to hunt them from dry well to dry well.

If they're alive, they're consuming my water.

And they can't consume my water without my consent.

Distributor cap didn't fit!

I wouldn't let them follow me here...

You know that, right?

Not like we want anything with you, anyway.

We found the Cessna.

It's ours.

Just the same, maybe we'd let you come with us.

Maybe.

You have a good spot here. I'll grant you that.

But we have water... And you don't.

That's why I'm safe here.

You're too small to be on your own.

I'm safer on my own.

Okay, I am not going to argue with you.

I mean, you seem to be doing alright.

But Dean and I, we're not like the others.

You try loosening the inlet flange?

Refill it with water to prime it?

It's not the pump. It's like the well gave out.

Just isn't filling anymore.

When you were at the compound, were the derricks pumping?

All of them.

And the truck came.

Never seen them fill it so fast.

You don't need the plane.

You move at night.

Take as much water as you can carry.

You can reach my uncle's place in,

I don't know, about three or four weeks-

Stop!

You know I'm dying, Kendal.

Without enough water, my kidneys are done.

I'm not going anywhere without you.

Move over.

I'm not going to leave you here.

I'm going to find it.

This is the Birch farm.

This is the Birch farm, land grant 2371,

calling for Mr. Carson.

We'd like to request- noon today- to the refugee camp.

...Birch farm.

...371.

We'd like to request... ...Refugee camp.

The Birch farm.

I guess that leaves us and the boy.

You don't have to go.

I need to see what happens.

If it looks okay, maybe we should call in, too.

I drink the tears of those who have gone before us.

And my spirit is quenched.

We're done here.

The well went dry.

We took it as far as we could.

But it has been six months of terror and hiding.

How many dead?

With Simon gone, there's nothing for us here.

Just come with us.

They can help Dean.

Flacker says they have medicine.

You never knew family.

We can start again.

Make a new family.

I hear Carson has a daughter.

We can send them to get Dean.

It's his kidneys, girl.

Same as his sister Pia.

There's just no way you kids are getting out of here.

I can find Dean more water.

Things might be better outside the valley.

If we go north, there has to be water.

You still have faith.

That's good.

We hid a day's worth of water on the north side of the house.

Welcome to it once we're gone.
