Vanishing on 7th Street

Watch out!

You... Um... Your light.

What? Oh! I'm such a moron!

How's the flick?

Ah, you know, Adam Sandler gets in a mess.

Wife gets pissed. Rinse and repeat. Predictable. Formulaic.

- Fart jokes. You wouldn't like it. - Hmm.

How would you know what I like?

I wouldn't know.

Well, maybe you should find out sometime.

Oh, shit! What the...

Hey, Hal! Hey...

What the hell?

Hal?

What the... What the hell's going on?

Kim?

Hey! Hey! Hey, you.

Everyone's gone. They're all gone.

Got anyone in the theaters?

No, man. I haven't seen a soul.

Jeez! Same down in the food court.

You know what happened?

We're on backup power.

Heading down to maintenance to find out more.

We're being Punk'd, right?

Oh, yeah. Allen Funt is gonna pop out any minute.

Who? - Forget it.

The hell is that?

What did you see?

Wait here.

Who's there?

You see something?

Huh?

Anybody here?

Hello?

Anyone here?

Where is everyone?

Anybody here?

Hey! Hello?

Help me.

Someone help me.

No!

Manny. Manny.

My baby. Manny!

Paige?

I waited for you.

You here?

Paige?

Son of a...

What the hell is going on here?

Twenty-three goddamn flights.

Piece of junk.

Yo, Jesus, what's up with the...

- This is yesterday's. - (CRUNCHING)

Paige?

Paige?

Paige?

Anyone?

Where are you?

Damn it!

Hello?

Somebody there?

- (ENGINE SPUTTERS) Shit!

- (BANGING) Hey!

Open the door!

Open up the fucking door, man!

Hey, man, I need... I need a light.

They're all spent. Give me one of your lights, man.

Open the door.

Give me one of your lights. Please.

God damn!

Hello, little boy Don't you remember me?

Hello, little boy Don't you remember me?

Well, I'm the same one that brought you from Tennessee

I said, "You came to the city Got me in your heart"

Now don't forget that I'm the one who put you wise

Please don't high jive me, baby I ain't the jiving kind

No, don't high jive me, daddy I ain't the jiving kind

'Cause you'll find I'm hip and you'll up and lose your mind

Down in Tennessee, you was ragged and beat

Walking around barefooted drinking sneaky Pete

Don't get me started I know just what to do

If you make me mad I'll tell the whole world about you

Don't move.

Put the gun on the floor.

It's a flashlight.

Just put it on the floor.

You mean this gun?

Put or drop?

Put the fucking gun on the ground!

Come on, the light, too.

You want me to turn it off?

The light, too! Now!

All right.

Okay. What now?

Why don't you just lower that barrel a little, we'll talk this shit out, huh?

Can I at least have my drink?

Is that permitted?

- (GUN FIRES) - (LUKE EXCLAIMS)

Hey! God damn it!

Go on! Shoot me! Do it!

Shoot me!

You're afraid to.

- No, I'm not. - Yeah, you are.

You shoot me, there's nobody left. Right?

Right.

What's your name?

What's your name?

James.

James. Like Jesse James.

Gun and all.

I'm Luke.

I've seen your face.

Oh, yeah?

TV.

That's right.

News 7. I'm the new field reporter.

You're always yelling at people with the microphone.

Look, James. Here's the truth.

I'm just happy to see another face.

You know what I mean?

Why don't you put the gun down and we'll have ourselves a drink.

Come on, I'm buying.

It'll be my pleasure.

Where'd you find this?

It's my mom's. She keeps it under the bar.

Your mom owns this place? - Nah. Bartender.

She around?

Up the street.

Went to check the light in the church.

- Light? - Yeah.

A guy came by saying he saw a light in that church.

A guy? How long ago?

He's gone now.

You got a nice generator down there.

How much gas you got left?

I don't know.

My mom told me to keep feeding it every few hours, though.

You a strong kid, Jesse James?

Strong enough.

Good. Drink up.

You're gonna need it.

Why?

Here. Batteries work.

You're gonna help us get us both out of here.

I'm not going nowhere. I've got to wait for my mom.

She just went up the street to the church. She told me to stay right here.

We need to get out of this city. You understand?

I'm not going nowhere.

- (SIGHS) - We're moving out

when she comes back with some people.

What people? There are no people.

Don't matter. She told me she'd be back.

Have you taken a look outside lately, James?

It's, like, 11:00 in the morning.

And it's fucking pitch black!

I've been out there for the last three days.

And every day the sun comes up later

and goes down sooner. Every day, less daylight.

More people are just gone! You understand what I'm saying?
