Survival Box (2019)
We saw this
cloud of boiling dust and debris below us with this tremendous mushroom on top. Beneath that was hidden the ruins of the city of Hiroshima. President Truman's, dramatic announcement that Russia has the atom's secret. It shall be the policy of this nation to regard any nuclear missile launched from Cuba against any nation in the Western hemisphere as an attack by the Soviet Union on the United States requiring a full retaliatory response... Here, have this. Hey buddy, can I take this? Yeah, it's your party, kid. Thanks. Sorry. ...has chemical and biological weapons and he is moving ever closer to developing a nucl... Chemical and biological weapons which could be activated within 45 minutes. Addicted to weapons of mass destruction. ...by firing a missile directly through Japan... That tweet from the President that came late yesterday on North Korea. The President issuing this over Twitter - saying North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un... - Can you believe this shit? The debate team's done, Kit. Yeah. This is real. This is the shit we're graduating into. ...and more powerful one than his, and my button works. They will be met with fire and fury the likes of which this world has never seen before. So, Stanford, huh? Yeah, yeah. I guess sometimes you can always get what you want. Look, I'm not trying to be the bad guy here, okay? You can't serve alcohol to minors. It's the law. Come on, we're gonna be totally out of sight. Oh just like New Year's? Ben, that wasn't me. That was all Scott and you know it. I'm... Congrats, Chris. Thanks. Hey, are you gonna stick around? Amy... hey. I'm just doing my job. Your job is to cockblock me? I was gonna hit the gym this summer. Hardcore. Curls. Thrusts. Thrusts, huh? Arm thrusts, yeah. Been doing a lot of yoga lately, it's all part of my grief and sadness behavior therapy cocktail. Uh huh, How's it going? It's shit. But I could put my legs behind my head so that's something. Yeah. That is something. Oh. Hey man. You remember Camilla? Hey, um. I'm really sorry about, um, I can't imagine what you're going through. Thanks. Hey Joshie, mom wants another family photo. I'll stall for you, okay? Not too long. Hello, stepmother. You're late. Chris already gave his speech. Ah, then I actually am right on time. He thanked you. Awe. Please tell me you took your meds. Come on, for this shindig, Laura baby, I took all my meds. Hey. You guys coming down? Oh, man caves aren't really my thing. It's really not like that. It's um, it's like a place to party. Trev? It's underground. It's morbid. But it is a place to party. Hey, I don't have to pretend to be your girlfriend again, do I? Funny, you're funny. That girl is a freak Freak, freak, freak... That girl is a freak Freak, freak, freak... I didn't think that that girl was a freak That girl is a freak Freak, freak, freak... Freak, freak, freak... How did I not know you guys had this? Mom freaked out after 9/11 so they built this place. This is how you end your night, kiddies. First this one. Mmm. And, this one. Maybe you should eat something other than mushrooms. Maybe you should stop being such a faggot and have one yourself. Come on, anybody? Hm? Taste of the real world? Sure. There we go, she's down. And how about you, emo dyke chick? Hm? You want one, what's your name again? Shut up, Scott. What, Joshy, she's emo. You're emo, you're like a sad trip to the mall. Look at her bro, she's got a face like the food court on Tuesday night. You're a dick. What, I mean you're hot but like, would it kill you to smile? Man, she's such a fucking downer, bro. Her mom just died, fuckhead. Oh. Sorry, all right. Sorry, that sucks, I'm an asshole. You have a family here at home though. Yeah I know. I'm actually just wrapping up now, so... I told you to watch him. That was your sole purpose. Yeah, and I'm gonna do that right now. If he is down there fucking some 15 year old, it's your job. Understood. Uh-oh. Morning. And I say that because it's in fact the next day. You guys have 10 minutes to clean all this shit up and then I shut it down. Oooh. That's not an empty threat. You remember New Years. 10 minutes, guys, I'm not kidding. Yeah, that's funny. I can play like that. 10 minutes! So how about you, huh? Feeling good? Kit doesn't have feelings. Per se, I mean. She's not like a traditional human. Okay, I'm gonna go to the bathroom, and then we will take him home. Yes. Guys? Fuck. Trav? Guys? Trav? Okay. That's very funny. Haha, hahaha, what the fuck. The lights should be back on by now. There. Those aren't the real lights. What's happening? What the fuck was that? The safety door's closed. What safety doors? Jesus Christ, man, I'm fuckin' freaking out. Alright turn the shit back on. This shit should come back on! Oh. Thank god. See, it's just a glitch. Glitch, whatever, fuck. I'm getting out of here. Relax, Scott. It's just like New Year's. Blast doors initiated. Security protocols one through 33 commenced. That didn't happen last time. Electrical systems transferring to offline self-contained modality. Don't open the door. - Do not open the door! - Fuck off, half-pint. Just, he's right, listen to him. Look, those doors have blast valves that are set to seal when the wave hits. Fuckin' rainman, Josh, he's a nuclear scientist! Shut up. Look, you can't open the door. Just in case, okay? Fine, assholes. So, what are we supposed to do? I'm not sure. Sealing sectors A, B, C, and D. Initiating oxygen release. Optimizing pressure. Radiation levels stable. Exterior test data unavailable. Testing external links. Video feeds two, three, six from 1899 Canandega Lane incapacitated. Damage to link sites one, five, six, eight, nine. Anything? No. I'm gonna keep trying though. This should still work. Kit? What? Do you know, when you were a little girl, you always feel like there's that one person who's gonna come and save you? For me it's my dad. I just feel like he's up there figuring everything out, like he's hit the roads or whatever and he'll find a way down here. Kit, hey. I really think we should stop trying the phone and just concentrate on the radio. It won't hurt. Line's dead. Nobody's opened the door. That phone's connected to a pile of ashes. I meant the house, not the people. Potassium iodide. For the radiation. I don't need that shit, Kit. I need real pills. Please perform routine checks of dosimeters and Geiger counters. What next? Um... Check the water. This is the air vent? That's it? You okay? Yeah. Told you to stop asking me if I'm okay. No, that's not what we're saying. That's what you said. Center line to the house is dead. There's no radio signal either. Okay. So worst case scenario, right? How long exactly? We can't be exact, Amy. If we conserve, there's the diesel generator. And if the water calculations are correct I think we probably have about eight to nine months. Okay. But not worst case scenario, it is completely possible that whatever happened out there is just local. Like three mile island. That's our positive scenario? Okay, just checking. Local or not, it may be toxic out there. So we wait. I thought you said the radiation levels were good? They are, down here. It doesn't matter. Kitty dick doesn't make the rules. Don't call him that. He doesn't make the rules, not for me, not for anyone, okay Chris? I'm just trying to keep everyone safe. Yeah, well reading a couple pages in a fucking manual doesn't make you king of this crisis plan, okay? Look, there. See, I got a text. You know what that means? World's still out there. Wanna sit down? No, I don't wanna sit down. You know what I wanna do? I'll tell you what I wanna do. I want to open this fucking door. Josh, turn that shit off. We're not turning off our only point of contact with the outside world. Are you fucking stupid? I got a text. My mom texted me from Dubai. One text doesn't prove anything. It could be a satellite bouncing off delayed signals. It doesn't prove there's anybody out there. Turn that shit off! - Leave it on. - Easy, Scott. Well then get some fucking headphones. Keep it on. If there's someone out there, they need to be able to hear us. Jesus, I am so sick of your stupid shit, you bitch! Jesus. Back off. Okay. You stay out of this. Apologize. I swear to God. I'll put a bullet through your fucking head. I'm sorry, okay? Now we have a problem to solve here. And I think it'd be best if we put our efforts towards that instead of having to babysit the oldest person in here. Right? Yeah. Yeah, you're right. So why doesn't everybody just breathe? Where the hell did you find that? Closet in the back. Just lying there? Yeah. I mean, it was in a case. Okay, um. Do you wanna show me where you got this from? You okay? I can't fucking breathe. There is no air and my heart is pounding out of my fucking chest, all right? And you know what, bro? I'm starting to get a bad feeling. Like a real bad feeling, alright? Fuck. Everything's gonna be okay. Based on? You may wanna start saving those. Well I found the tampons. Nice. Scrambled eggs and tampons. Fuck. Come on, come on. Come on, please. Please call. Antipsychotic? What? Oh, I know my pills. Those are antipsychotics. You went through my shit? Whatever. I don't need them. They're just in case. Yeah. What have you got, like 12 left? Hm? You ever actually go cold turkey? Me and you, oh we're in trouble down here. See I got brothers here or half brothers, anyway. Half family. They should at least half look out for me. But when shit gets bad for you, and your brain goes off the fucking rails, who's gonna have your back down here, Kit? Here. You should take this. Just in case. First you pull a gun on me and then you give it to me. You're more fucked up than I am. Beautiful. You know you can't stay here either, Kit. You and me, we are not like these assholes. You should come with me. You should go with him. At least think about it. Where? Where am I supposed to go? I don't know clinic? There's food and water here. We have no idea what's out there. There's only two suits. If they take them, that's it. You're stuck in here. You can leave, but, This is a fucking deathtrap down here! All right, even if you're right about the water holding up, even if the world's gone to some kind of shit, you've only got another eight months left. Wouldn't you rather know, huh? Wouldn't any of you rather make some kind of effort? You need to leave us a suit. You can't take both. Yeah, the fuck I can't. You guys are just gonna sit here and follow Kitty dick's little crisis plan. We might need one in an emergency. Yeah, well you know what, this is an emergency. No, she's right. You can't have both. Okay, genius, okay. If I can't have both, then who gets the second suit, huh? The one fucking suit. Because when shit goes tits up in here and believe me, it will, who gets the suit, huh? Amy. Oh come on. Why does she get the one thing that's gonna help you guys... Because I'm pregnant. I'm pregnant. Come on, bullshit. Bullshit you're pregnant. You're going to college in the fall. Uh huh. And I'll let you do the math on that one, genius. You're pregnant, Trav: She's pregnant. The second suit stays. Kit, what the fuck, come on. We talked about this. I can't leave them with no suit and I'm not going out there without... Yes, we're gonna get halfway to... before these guys do anything down here. They get to sit here and fucking die, okay? Come on, let's go, let's go. - I can't. - Yes you can. - I can't. - Yes you can. - I can't. - Yes you can! - I can't! - I know you can, so let's go! I'm sorry. Ah, this is a coffin, Chris. All right bro, it's a big fucking coffin. Once you leave you can't come back, suit or no suit. You could be radioactive to the point of getting us sick. Scotty, please, just give it another week. No. Why don't you come with me, Chris, huh? Why don't you come with me? Come on, I need you, little bro, come with me, please. Please, I need someone, man. Okay? - I can't. - Please? I'm sorry. - Please. - Scott. - Please. - I can't. Nobody's coming with me? Warning, warning. Main access point inner doors have been opened. Breach, breach. Elevated risk of contamination. You okay? Yeah. I'm fine. Can I come in? Yeah. It's just a lot. Guess you won't mind if I take all the tampons. They're all yours. Just hope he's okay out there. Thanks. For staying. Just gotta keep our heads up, huh. Still think it's worth it? It's not. We can get 2,000 calories a day without it and we save a ton of energy and water. It doesn't make any sense. Okay, vote. Hydroponics and planting, hands up for yes. Stupid. Okay, so um, Josh, you'll be in charge of the farm. Rationing is done. Is there anything else anyone wanted to talk about? Um, intimacy aids? Some of which require batteries. Just like Kit. Um, just seeing as I seem to be the only one that holds unpopular opinions here, sorry Amy. But if you were, maybe we should think about an abortion. It sounds terrible but it's safer by far. And it saves resources. Just something to think about. Sorry. If that was insensitive. I just, sometimes I can be a little blunt. It's okay. I like what you've done with the place. I just wanted to say, we'll get through this. Both this and that. Your optimism is impressive and sometimes a little annoying. Maybe a little charming. Or a little sexy? Okay all right, bye. She's up at night. You're up at night. No, it's different. She's like a little weasel or something. A weasel? I mean first she's going with him and now she's not. She didn't know Amy was pregnant. Yeah, now she wants her to have an abortion. I don't like her. And I don't trust her. Fall leaves. Wood smoke. Apples. Suntan lotion. Coconut smell. My dog. Like taking walks outside, or being outside at all. Yeah. Kit. Your turn, same question. What do I miss the most? Hm. The newspaper. Like the morning ritual of reading it. Sitting next to my mom. The smell of her coffee. Hey, do you know what's wrong with puppy love? Your assholes are too tight. Barum tss! Thank you so much. I'm gonna be here for nine months, every night! Yeah, you're disgusting. She's stealing. There's no proof. No, we have to search her room. Josh? We're not the gestapo. I was told there would be a free Continental. What kind of resort is this? So what are we talking about? We're gonna burn her at the stake 'cause she's a fucking insomniac. She was taking food, Josh. I know what I saw. You may not realize this because of where you grew up but in the real world, bad shit does happen. People lie and they cheat and they steal. And people die. Okay, Jesus. Your mom died. Doesn't make you the queen of everything shitty. That's not fair. All our moms are dead. So fucking save it. I'm sorry. I'm sorry too. Hi. Sorry, just passing out lunch. You know, I always pictured the end of the world as like a big inclusive orgy. But, no. Even the apocalypse is heteronormative. Great expectations. That was a memorable day for it made great changes in me. But it is the same with any life. Imagine one selected day struck out of it and think how different its course would have been. Pause you who read this and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you. But for the formation of the first link on one memorable day. We are in Bunker 1899 Canandega Lane requesting assistance please. Repeat, we are in bunker 1899 Canandega Lane requesting assistance please. Repeat. Repeat, we are in bunker 1899 Canandega Lane requesting assistance please. Repeat, we are in bunker one... Repeat, we are in bunker 1899 Canandega Lane requesting assistance please. Chris. You need to sleep. Chris. We can't let him in. We'll all be sick in a day! Josh, there is no proof that there is anything... He's writing something else! He says everything is fine. Then why does he wanna come back in here? Oh my god. Look at his face. Look, he's got the gun. We can't just leave him out there. We need to know what's going on. Don't. It's beautiful. Yeah. I don't know, I thought we could have a little memorial or something. Add whoever you want. No offense, Camilla. But the tree looks kinda like a mushroom cloud. Well fuck. Yeah it does. It's a nuclear killer tree, it's a tree of mass destruction. Awesome. Hey. I know this isn't something either of you asked for. But I decided it's safer to wait. So if no one comes for us, I might have the baby. So I was wondering if you guys might... Yes. You're stealing food! No, no, I wasn't! You're fucking kidding me! I should fucking kill you. I was saving food. For your baby. Kit. You- Thank you. I'm sorry. I made a mistake. I'm sorry. It's fine. Forgiven. Forgotten. Did you make another fat joke? Hello. It's late. Someone has to do something. There needs to be rules against stuff like that. What he did. Adults can have baby from there too, Kit, same as babies. My mom did a lot of stupid things. Smoked a pack a day, for example, gave herself cancer. I'm sorry. The one thing she said to me, over and over again, she swore by it like a fucking religion, she said "Never trust a girl with shifty eyes." You don't believe me. You think I stole food. You have shifty eyes, Kit. What? You went out and took the suit off Scott's body? I washed it all in deacon. You should have consulted with us. I took a shower! Have you done an updated radiation reading? You should up your iodine probably. - Let me worry about that. - How was it up there? Here's what's gonna happen. I keep my room, you stay out. We split off the remaining resources. Food, water, medicine, everything. I want my share. Divide it into sevens. Why sevens? The baby. This isn't right. We were better off pooling resources. I am not asking for opinions. I am done pooling. We need to vote. We didn't vote on Scott leaving. We didn't vote on letting him back in. So? So let's not pretend this is some kind of functional democracy. Okay, fine. That's what you want? Divide the stuff. Warning. Oxygen recycling degrading. 22 percent remaining. Please perform maintenance. Fuel levels approaching 15 percent. Begin conservation mode. Thanks Sorry. I shouldn't have taken one of your puffs. Feels like the air is getting... Thinner. What? Nothing. I was just wondering. Maybe if we'd ever... I mean, life is short, right? Real short potentially. Emergency reserves. Medical supplies at national processing centers available at I-94, I-75 and I-96 access points, as well as through stations at Highway 10 and the Ambassador bridge from Canada. This National Guard Open message from Detroit Michigan will repeat broadcast in three minutes. Okay, Detroit is only 600 miles away, give or take. I wanna go. I'm coming with you. Can you walk that far? If the roads are closed, then she... I don't care. I need to go. I'm already sitting in a hot tub with an ice cream cone. I can also see the sky. Oh! Hot tub, ice cream and the sky. And me? No bathing suit. Never. Help. Ow. I don't know. What's happening? It's okay. It's okay. Go to the beach and we'll go swimming, would you like that? Mhmm? I'll take you away from these bad people. I'll take you away from these bad people. Kit? What are you? She was hungry. I think you should give me the baby. She needed me. It's okay. Yeah, I'll just take her. I'm- Camilla: It's okay, it's okay. Come here. Come here. Come here. There you go. Here we go. Here. Yeah. I'm gonna give Amy a proper burial. This is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Goodbye. Love, Chris. You took your hand in mine. And we went out of the ruined place. In all the broad expanse of tranquil light. I saw no party for me. What the hell are you doing? I'm taking care of her. Give me the baby. She was crying. No she wasn't. Stay away from her. For Sarah. That's not her name. For her. I promised Amy. Kit. We'd like the gun. You have it, right? Give us the gun. Lay her down here. Josh. She's tired. Hey. Hey! Look at me. Stop fucking around, stop looking at her! You get the gun and you bring it in here. You get that fucking thing and you give us the gun. Make me. Where the fuck are you going? She's mine. You stay away from her or I'll fucking kill you, Kit. Okay. Okay. There we go. I can't sleep either. Warning, warning. Water leak in sector B pipe system. Shutting down tanks B1 and B2. Diverting flow. Immediate action required. Immediate action required. Kit, where's the baby? Immediate action required. Preparing hibernation mode. All essential systems shutting down. Heating, water, and electrical supply terminating. Electrical disruption. Temporary suspension and rebooting the current. I don't wanna hurt you, Camilla. Give me the baby. Give her to me. I need to take care of her. We're all on the same side. Scott. Travis. Amy. Chris. You. Us. We're all on the same side. Give her the baby. Let her hold the baby. We're going to call her Amy. Yeah. We need to leave. Now? Tonight. Okay. Okay, we'll leave. Fuck, then what? I don't know, okay. I don't have a fucking clue. We go out there and we do what we can. And we love each other. And we take care of the baby. An honest answer. I'm so fucking scared. Hey. But we're together. We'll figure it out, we will. No I won't lose hope, no I won't lose sight But heaven is a place I just can't find Run from the shadows and run to the light Running from a past that I left behind Haunted by a memory That I just can't set free Searching for the man I used to be I've made my sacrifice In the ashes of that life Heaven is a place that I can't find And I can't feel it in my bones Every time I think of home You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone It still haunts me like the ghosts But I know we're not alone You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone No I can't lose hope no I won't lose sight And I won't stop looking for heaven's light I hear the angels singing when I close my eyes I can hear the bells ringing like a siren's cry Now we're standing at the gates And I just can't escape Heaven is a place that I can't find And I can feel it in my bones Every time I think of home You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone And it still haunts me like a ghost But I know we're not alone You're not alone, you're not alone, you're not alone And I can feel it in my bones Every time I think of home And it still haunts me like a ghost But I know we're not alone |
