♪ me glad ♪ ♪ my lord... ♪ - ( snorting ) - boy's voice: call me martin. i've seen things you wouldn't believe. ( rattling ) things a boy shouldn't see. but i'm not a normal boy anymore and it ain't a normal world. - ( rattling continues ) - "get used to it," that's what mister tells me.
we live by his rules or we die. or worse, - we die and we come back. - ( creature squealing ) but let's begin at the beginning. i was like any other kid. i had a family. i went to school. i didn't believe in the bogeyman. but then the world woke up to a nightmare. ( thunder crashing )
radio:fema is advising evacuees to stay in their homesand not to travel by night. - route 422 has been cut off...- maybe we should wait. ...from all main trafficthroughways following... - we'll take the back roads. it'll be safer there.- ( dog barking ) - no, martin!- cooper, hey. martin! cooper?cooper. cooper.
cooper? cooper! ( creaks ) ( thunder rumbles ) ( baby crying ) ( screams ) martin, run! - mom!- ( baby continues crying ) - ( muffled yells )- shh shh shh.
you want to live, boy,you listen to me-- you scream,i'll break your neck. they're dead.there's nothing to be doneabout it but kill that thing. you shoot? you shoot mei'll fucking kill you. ( radio playing ) a 24-hour hotlinefor missing persons attributed to the outbreak has been set up on a county-by-county basis. - ( clatters ) - phone lines in all areas have been flooded
and officials ask for patience as recovery teams are doing all they can to maintain order on the east coast... ( wheezing grunting ) do not venture outsideafter sundown. stay in your home and lockthe doors and windows... ( slurping ) ( growling ) ( squealing ) ( snarling )
- ( shrieking )- ( gun cocks ) get a fucking hammer. i only gottwo hands, boy.do it! no no. ( gurgles )save him. one day you'll learnnot to dream at all. get your shit. welcome to stake land, kid. ( low growling )
( roars ) ( martin narrating ) months passed in a blur of days and nights. we traveled east and west, but always north, away from death. we avoided the cities. mister said they were the worst-- hit the hardest in the beginning. as people flocked together for safety, the plague marched through their locked gates and they became deathtraps. when washington fell it was over for america as we knew her.
as government blew away, our great leaders ran for it and hope was abandoned. we were on our own now, me and mister... traveling through a ruined land. pockets of civilization survived-- towns locked down behind fences with guns holding the right of way. cults spread like wildfire across the southern states, waiting for the messiah, but he never came.
death came in instead. and it came with teeth. the dumb fuckgot himself trapped,burned up in the sun. he was a berserker-- that's the oldest of the vamps. you can't stakethem in the chest--got a breastbone like iron. got to get themin the base of the skull. vamps-- ( grunts ) function fromthe reptile brain.
it's like pulling the plugon a computer. ( martin narrating ) we were all orphans just looking for something to hold on to. even mister. maybe that's why he keeps me with him. - what's that?- garlic oil. does that really work? it don't hurt. one strike, boy,make it true.
- where are you boys coming from?- south. get out of the car. ( chuckles ) did you get any? they're all right, boys.let them roll. ( train clanks, whirring ) ( dog barking ) ( martin narrating )another town, another lockdown. people just trying to go on,
hoping they'd wake up and it'd all be a bad dream. they could go back to their lives, families and careers. woman: he needs more fresh food. and some vitamins if you can find them. - where's his folks?- dead. he'd bebetter off here-- with people,
other children. what doi owe you? - i could use all of them.- good. hey, you got anyliquor in this town? jake's-- homemade mostly. he got some tap beer,a little sour but it won't kill ya. the boy needsa haircut. man: the sheriff said take whatever you need.
it's on me.( laughs ) have you beenthrough haggerstown? - i had family there.- vamped out. - everything south of here.- real-- - ( door jangles ) - he really kills 'em, huh? you gotta get 'em in the heart.pierce the breastplate. guns hurt them, but unlessyou sever the spine, they keep coming.you got any gum? yes.
cool. aw, just-- aw.( laughs ) so who are you? his helper. - where are, uh... where are you guys heading?- north. mister says less population,less bloodsuckers. wait wait wait.not new eden, right? we had a fella,he came through here and he-- he saidthere's nothing there.
there's no food at all. he said it's not the vampsyou need to worry about. it's the cannibals. thanks. ( music playing, chatting ) ( martin narrating ) sometimes i think i could stay in a place like this-- make friends, live in the daylight, just be a kid. but the truth is i don't feel safe around people.
they could think what they want, but new eden was real. it was the answer to all this and we were gonna find it. fight our way north, make for the open territories. like mister says, live free or die trying. and fuck the cannibals. what's her name? i didn't ask. ( crossing bell ringing )
radio: people keep asking why did this happen? how could god let this happen? how can this be his love? they don't see that god would do things that low. just as he don't need to tell them that he don't need them either. ( screams )no no! no, help! ( hooting ) ( moaning )
( screaming )oh god. - no no!- it's okay, lady. shhh, it's okay. - it's all right.- no no! - ( crying )- okay, it's okay. it's okay. it's okay.it's okay. ( martin narrating ) mister. where'd all that hate come from? ( hammering )
i never asked. those men, they-- ( sobs, laughs ) they said they werechristians. we don't do history.it doesn't do anybodyany good. grab themtraps, boy. ( sniffling ) give me your finger. ( thunder crashes )
( clattering ) time to go fishing. ( grunting, moaning ) ( shrieking ) get the long pole. oh, sister agitha. - we thought she was dead.- she is. - what are you gonna do? - i'm gonna kill that thing. - go with god.- lock the door.
it's a newbie.shouldn't be too hard. - ( grunting )- ( vampire crying out ) too fat, i can'tbreak the spine. - yah.- ( growling ) ( shrieking ) you missed the heart,you dumbshit. fucking vamps! ( wheezing ) - stop it!- ( grunts )
( door slams ) ( martin narrating ) mister dug a grave. i think he felt bad for the sister. he did pull the fangs out, but he waited till she went to pick the flowers. how many of those thingshave you killed? not enough. and people? those two men?
in my book, rapists gotno place to live. - it's not ours to judge.- then don't. next lockdownwe drop you off.you go save some souls. and what about him? - he's just a boy.- yeah. a live one. ( martin narrating ) but we never dropped her off. where was she gonna go? radio: satan's soldiers march in the night.
but god has not abandoned us. those who believe in him shall never fall. jesus and the angels are coming and judgment is upon us. the christian army of aryans are here to fight for you. we've created safe refuge for the holy among us. join us, brothers and sisters. lafayette valley welcomes the righteous and the pure. together we shall lead the world back to the light and the right, whom the american god loves.
( martin narrating ) in desperate times, false gods abound. people put their faith in the loudest preacher and hope they're right. but sometimes they're wrong-- dead wrong. ( grunts ) my name is jebedia loven. now you killedtwo of my men...
in cold blood. staked one in the back. he was my son. my own boy. he was only 16. he cried for his motherfor three hours before he died. god rest his soul. now you'rea fine-lookingyoung buck.
is that your father? my father's dead. don't you worry. we'll get yousome religion. ( grunting ) bring you to godand the right way. good stock. - ( whimpering )- eh, you'll still serve. as for you, mister...
oh yeah,we know who you are. you kill them that come back,them that serve us, them that god brought downto do his work. leaving us to purifythe blood of our fathers. and when that day comes,he will bring them back. and peace and puritywill reign on the earth forever!amen! all: amen! what do you haveto say for yourself,
sinner? fuck youand fuck your god. well, you cantell him that yourself. you're about to meet him. ( engine running, hymn on p.a. ) ( brakes squeal ) welcome tothe valley of them. last stopfor the weak of faith. get him out here.
oh, look at them--children of salvation. they comeat my calling to feedon the unfaithful. - ( grunts )- ( growling ) shhh. they say hell is cold, hunter. don't let that flame burn out. ( roaring )
get back,you bloodsuckers. - how's your head?- mister. i'm sorry. go on down to the creek,fill them up. bring 'em back. wait. hey boy! you can runif you want to. ain't nothing out therebut sundown and them.
you won't get far. mister taught me how to read the stars. i could make my way back to the car, get the weapons, find them robe-wearing crazies and send them back to that god they kept talking about. i had to keep moving, had to make the car before night came. mister was gone and out here alone, i didn't stand a chance. ( grunting, panting ) ( wheezing breaths )
( screaming ) ( moaning, pounding ) how many of them thingsare out there? - ( howls )- one. but she's reallypissed off. make some noise. ( martin pounding ) hey hey! hey!hey hey hey! - ( screaming )- come and get me!
yeah, that's right,come on. i'm in here. i'm in here!hey! - ( engine sputtering ) - come on, baby. - ( snarls )- ( engine starts ) ( shrieks ) i hate fucking vampires. ( engine revving ) the brotherhood needsyour eyes, followers.
an enemy walks among us. this enemy of america walks with faith. his name is mister and he is traveling with a young boy. - they're armed and dangerous. - what happened? they were last seen heading north of lafayetteville. if spotted, dispatch of them immediately. these actions will not go unrewarded. we're gonna leavein the morning. we'll have to takea back road.
the brotherhood has gotthe rest locked down. let it go, boy. man: get up there! you'll get a pleasant view of the morning. come on, earl! give them a hand. what do you got for trade? - antibiotics, some weed.- ( band starts playing ) - ( pills rattle )- and these. - ( sniffs )- ♪ black girl, black girl ♪

( sizzling ) ( laughs ) ( martin narrating ) her name was belle. her story was no different from anyone else's. home gone, family gone. oh, and she was pregnant. but i guess life goes on. ( thunder rumbling ) she wanted to get to new eden before the baby came.
( banging ) ( flies buzzing ) ( latch clicks, creaks ) ( bangs ) ( motor cranking ) ( generator humming ) ( creaks ) - ( bones crack ) - hi. hi.

we were deployed to seeto the evacuation of canada. ( scoffs )"keep the peace." but we couldn'tcontain it. most of their troops left,trying to make it hometo their families. i guess you heardthe president's dead. which asshole'spresident now? beats me.the way i see it the motherfuckersbooked and left us withour dick in our hands. ♪ baby, don't you cry,papa's gonna make sure-- ♪
( moans )oh, please help. no, please,i need a doctor. - the baby's coming.- where the hell did you come from, girl? i'm traveling with three men,but they can't help me. - where are they?- right behind you. ( yells ) you should have beenan actress. - what are they doing?- they've been taking out the lockdown townswith captured vamps.
they crash the trucksinto roadblocks, letthe vamps do their thing. they even crashed a fewplanes loaded up with vampsinto cities at the beginning.that's what took downwashington. check the other one. howdy, jeb. this your boy, clem? ( guns cocking ) shit! ( groaning )
where's the woman? ( spits )bitch run off. we was just tryingto protect her. - ( gunshot )- run! ( muttering ) ( martin narrating ) vamps could smell blood from miles off. mister knew it. and so did jebedia loven. ( muttering continues )
i could tell by the look in his eye. ( jebedia shouting ) help! we were moving north, away from the brotherhood, skirting the adirondacks. less towns, less people. hadn't seen any vamps yet. mister said it was too cold for them up here in the mountains. they were cold-blooded, like reptiles. when we hit the lowlands they'd be back.
( radio cutting in and out ) ...strivington border. all those seeking asylum will be... ...confiscated before... if you are receivingthis signal, you are approaching the strivington border, under protection of the united states volunteer militia. all those seeking asylum will be processed and dealt with accordingly. weapons will be confiscated-- - you get 'em back when you leave.- mm-hmm.
- where are you coming from?- south-- lafayetteville. - have any trouble with the brotherhood?- none we couldn't handle. ( martin narrating ) they renamed their town strivington. it said it all. it gave me hope for people. it gave me hope for new eden. sometimes hope is all you got. ( folk band playing ) ( helicopter approaching )
- man: holy shit. - man #2: brotherhood. - man #3: brotherhood! - ( screaming ) ( crashes ) loudspeaker: they're dropping vamps! they're dropping vamps! ( growls ) ( martin narrating ) and it was over like that. all that goodness shattered by some christian crazies dropping vamps from the sky. mister: we're gonna stay right here till morning.
fine by me. how are youdoing, mama? she's gone. tough old lady. climbed those stairsand didn't say a word. damn brotherhoodshitkickers. 10 dead. we've got things under control now. we'll have this place upand running in no time.
sure you won't stickaround for a while? - we could use a couple of good men.- no. we're heading north. stick to the back roads.they're the only wayout of here. the brotherhoodowns the rest. good luck to you. ( martin narrating ) we'd come far. we didn't know what was waiting for us. but anything had to be better than what we left behind.
at least i kept telling myself that. but when i closed my eyes, i kept seeing that little girl's dead legs sticking out from under that tarp. ( engine rattling ) - belle: what is it?- the fucking radiator. - can you fix it?- not this time. she's dead. everybody justgrab your shit.
( martin narrating ) one week in the woods and wewere becoming different people. small talk stopped. we worked as a pack, each to his task. it was cold here in the high passes, but we hadn't seen any vamps. the forest cast a kind of magic over us. away from people... i stopped thinking about the past and about my family. i had found a new one.
do you thinkwe'll make it? i'm just worried about the girl. she's slowing us down. ( rattles ) there's no wind. ( cocks ) ( clatters ) ( thuds ) wing it!
( snarls ) berserkers. run! - come on!- we've gotta slow down for the girls. mister: move! mister: she's coming. - ( grunts )- willie: no no no, what are you doing? - i can't.- what are you doing? we've gotta go! keep moving!

- run.- ( shrieking ) the lord is my strength. the lord is my... oh oh. father... forgive me. ( gunshot echoes ) ( mister groans )martin! let's go.
i don't thinkshe's coming, martin. come on. ( groans ) ( martin narrating ) we'd been traveling for days now and hadn't seen a soul. it was like people had just disappeared. but mister wasn't taking any chances. ( sighs ) willie:what's wrong? nothing.
i'm just gettingold and scary. ( wind blowing ) - ( hisses )- are you okay? oh yeah. ( laughs )the baby just kicked. i'm okay. oh, here,give me your hand. - you want to feel?- yeah. oh wow. - let me check that out.- here, give me your hand. give me your hand.

- something's dead.- it's fresh. ( splats ) ( creaking ) ( gasps, screaming ) oh fuck. - fuck.- ( sobbing ) okay, god. come on, come on.we have to go. mister: from now on, you keep your weapons close and ready.
that thing took willieaway to kill him. it got aroundour traps. - what are you saying?- this one uses its brain. i've seen a lotof mutant vamps, but i ain't never seena thinker before. ( martin narrating ) we were entering the lowlands. new eden was just beyond the mountains. we were getting close. but so far no sign of anything-- alive anyway.
