- What about this?
- No.
- Well, you need to do something!
- I'm fine.
- Sitting inside all the time is not fine.
You'd just be bored anyway.
You know your Grandma's real happy
that you're staying with her.
You guys can take selfies
and text emoji's to each other.
(brooding music)
- Are you hungry dear? - Yeah!
- Okay, I'll start dinner then.
- No fish though grandma!
I hate fish.
- Right!
I see you found my journals.
- Why do you write in them?
- Hm, well it's where I keep
my thoughts, and my ideas and my feelings.
You can figure things out when you write them down.
This one's for you.
Oh fun.
(laughing)
- [Radio host] Tensions are rising as the prime minister
of Canada, president of the United States,
and Mexico are in their 3rd day of talks
with North Korea.
The talks are centered around an on going nuclear test
being carried out by the North Korean military.
Kim Jong-un has stated that North Korea
desires to be a nuclear power
only to level the playing field and promote peace.
It is hoped that a resolution will be found
by the end of the week.
Tonight's weather will be clear with (speech fades).
- I just got a text from Dad.
- Those cell phones really amaze me.
We'd be lost without them, wouldn't we?
- Did you text when you were younger?
- We didn't even have cell phones my dear.
- Okay grandma.
- We didn't.
(explosion banging)
Oh my!
What the heck.
Oh darn it.
Oh I got nothing here.
Come on.
Just had it fixed.
- [Girl] How much further to your apartment Grandma?
- [Grandma] Walking?
I don't know dear.
Few hours I suppose.
- Oh good.
Grandma?
(doorknob jiggling)
- I went down to the store to pick up a few things.
Joe at the grocery store let
me in the back.
Showed him some cash and in I went.
The whole town is locked up.
No phones, no street lights, no cars.
Doesn't make any sense.
Would you like some eggs for breakfast dear?
Okay.
- Are you okay?
- Just the old pacemaker acting up.
I'll be fine.
- How's dad supposed to get home?
- By car or plane I suppose.
Well I'm sure everything's working where he is.
- What if it's not?
He's really far away.
- Your dad will find a way Niamh.
He's really good that way.
How are your eggs?
- They're fine.
Grandma, that's not enough.
- Well, it'll do until help comes.
And...
Your dad dropped this off a while back.
(muffled shouting)
(dog barking)
(glass shattering)
(knocking on door)
(screaming)
(ominous music)
Go check that I locked the door!
- The door's locked.
- That's good dear.
Let's make some tea.
Would you fill the kettle?
- Grandma?
Grandma?
(heart beating)
(ominous music)
Grandma?

November 3.
Grandma died.
I'm alone.
It's been 10 days since the EMP.
That means Electro Magnetic Pulse.
Nothing works except for some old flashlights.
Dad told me it could happen one day.
I don't know where he is.
Things are crazy outside.
(flies buzzing)
(sad music)
(gunshot firing)
- [Man] I'm hungry!
I'm looking for donations!
Anyone?
(glass shattering)
- December 15th.
I'm so thirsty.
I don't see anyone around town anymore.
A bunch of people left a few nights ago
because of the crazy man.
He's taking everyone's food.
Well what's left of it.
I have three weeks of food left, and no water.
Dad showed me the emergency stash that's buried
in a field near the house.
He knew this would happen.
He's supposed to be here with me.
I hope he's okay.

- Merry Christmas Niamh.
For me?
Yeah it's for you.
Oh I didn't get you anything.
That's okay, that's okay.
Are you sure?
Go ahead, go ahead.
Okay.
Wow I love it, thanks so much.
- I think it's in here somewhere.
This is a great little tool for survival.
You should take this.
- Thanks.

Damn.
- December 28.
It was an exciting day today.
I left the apartment and I was chased by the crazy men.
I ate frozen worms and I'm staying in an old boathouse.
I need to get to Dad's emergency supplies.
I just don't know how to get there exactly.
Is anyone home?
(sad brooding music)
(dramatic music)
- [Male] Hey, that's far enough!
I don't have food for ya!
I have just enough for my family and that's it.
You need to turn around and leave now.
Now! (ominous music)
Go.

- Hello?.
Who's there?
I'm down in the basement
I'm trapped.
Please come help me.
Please, please.
Hello?
Please help me, I'm trapped in here.
There's something blocking the door,
I don't know what.
It won't open.
Please just pull it away whatever it is.
Oh thank god.
Oh thank you.
Oh my god I've been trapped here for days.
I can't see a thing.
Thank you.
- You're welcome.
- Whoa, whoa.
Okay, it's just, here.
Are you alone?
When do you think the power will come back on?
- It won't.
Everything is fried.
- There's no help?
Then we're a team
- Sure a team.
- Remember what I told you,
when the food runs out people will get desperate.
They'll wanna take your clothes, your food.
You have to be careful who you can trust.
- How can I tell?
- You'll be able to tell,
just look in their eyes.
You can feel it.
Your mum was real good at that.
- I saved someone today.
A boy.
His name is William.
I looked into his eyes, I trusted my gut.
We have one or two months of food I think.
It's so cold.
I hate winter!
- How much?
- 50, 60 days worth.
- I thought there was more.
- Are we close?
- Not Really.
We're here,
supplies are here.
- Is there a place called Lang?
- Lang?
No, why what's there?
- My dad says there's a group of people who are ready,
for what happened.
- What do you mean ready?
- They can grow food, cook, stay warm
live, without electricity.
- And you think they'll take us?
- I think so.
- Eight's.
- Go fish.
Any sixes.
- Where are your parents?
- My dad is in a conference in Texas,
and my mom, she passed away a couple of years ago.
You?
- We got separated, I don't know where they are.
Two's?
- Yep.
Five's?
- I'm tired, gonna get some sleep.
- Okay.
(wind howling)
(sad brooding music)
This is what animals must feel like.
We're bored and Cold.
All we do is think about food and water.
How to save it.
Where to find it.
Who will steal it.
Hey Will, come look at this.
- What's this?
- My hat.
Look at these, clothes.
Oh here's like a hunting one.
- This is awesome.
- This is like a murderers hat.
- Park Ranger.
- Oh look at this.
- My sister and I used to do this.
(sad music)
(birds chirping)
I miss my video games.
- I miss restaurants. - And TV.
- And my phone. - Playing hockey.
- My bed.
How far?
- Hm, not sure.
- I thought you could read it!
- I can!
We're somewhere between here and here, okay?
Sorry, I'm just really hungry.
- This was a horrible idea.
Maybe we should go back.
- We need that food.
- Where are you going?
- We need more wood.
(ominous music)
(scratching)
(ominous music) (coyotes yelping)
- Will.
Will.
- Were those coyotes or wolves?
- Does it matter?
Why not just leave it at home?
- Because they can find it.
And if you have to leave the house in a hurry
you've got a plan B.
- Hey, check this out.
I love these old cars.
Come on.
Hop in!
- How do you even open this thing?
- Check this out.
- No.
No.
- Come on.
- Fine.
It's not gonna work.

It's not supposed to work!
- Uh-huh.
- You can't even drive. - Watch me.

- Yeah, the 9th line of Douro.
- Well is there another 9th line?
- Um,
there's a 9th line of Smith?
Could that be it?
- Ah, it's all the way back.
- The other way. - Yip.
- All right.
Rolled up crepes with lemon juice and piles of sugar.
Those are the best.
- Lasagna, hot melted cheese with tomato sauce!
- Pizza, lots of cheese, pepperoni,
and those little spicy meatball things.
- So hungry.
- Oof.
Jackpot.
Hey, find anything? - Hey, nope.
The houses are cleaned out.
- This may help for food.
- Yummy.
- Better than nothing.
Ha, dinner.
All right give me your knife.
All set.
I thought you hated fish.
- I'm making an exception today.
- Right here?
- Yep.
Wait stop.
It's here, we're here.
- Well wait for me.
Niamh.
- Over here I found it.
- Is that it? - Yep.
- What do we eat? - I don't know.
You pick.
- Where's the gun?
Whoa. - Yeah.
Food options, canned beans or granola bar.
- I know what I'm having.
- Okay.
- Oh yeah, found this in the pack.
If separated go here and wait for me!
Dad.
We'll go in the morning.
- Do you think he'll be there?
- Yeah, he will.
- We'll find your family too Will.
- No.
We won't.
They're not missing.
They were coming to pick me up and
it was a bad car accident.
The doctors were working on them
and then the power went out.
Emergency power too.
It's just me.
- I'm sorry Will.
- Hey. - Will.
Will.
(dramatic music)
(ominous music)
(muffled talking)
- Yip she's awake.
(ominous music)
- Whole world's gone to shit.
We need survivors like you.
I got a plan.
A plan to rebuild.
(car hooter tooting)
- Will.
How did you find me?
- I followed the car lights.
- Where are you going?
- I'll get the food, you go.
- Forget the food, lets go!
- No, I'll be right behind you I swear.
- Oh fine.
- Jesus Christ, sit down, stay put.
- Go.
(ominous music)
(gunshot firing)
(gunshots firing)
- Nice!
- Oh, right.
So, why are we doing this again?
- I just want you to be familiar with it.
Just in case things go bad one day.
It probably won't, but it's possible.
(car engine roaring)
(ominous music)
- Seriously?
- The head?
- No the heart, the lungs!
The head is all bone.
The bullet will just ricochet off.
That'll leave it bleeding and in pain.
- Well, I don't think I'm gonna be
shooting anything anytime soon.
- All right probably not.
But I'm just trying to tell you how it's done.
(car engine roaring)
- Mom. - Niamh I'm here.
- Mom?
Don't go.
- Niamh. - Mom.
(muffled talking)
(sad music)
(dramatic music)
(gunshot firing)
(sad music)
(coughing)
Will.
Saved your ass again.
- Whatever.
- I haven't written in awhile.
Will and I almost didn't make it.
The car died on us.
We ended up walking the rest of the way to LANG.
Sleeping in abandon houses.
And of course, no food anywhere.
A lot of people died.
They just didn't know what to do.
Or where to go to survive.
But we made it.
The people here knew who Dad was.
They gave Will and I place to stay.
It's like a mini community here.
They have clean water,
live stock, gardens, a place to sleep,
clothing and all the things you need for survival.
Everyone has a job.
I look after the ducks and chickens in the morning.
I volunteer to keep watch too.
People try to raid the place for food sometimes.
I haven't seen Will much.
He keeps to himself.
Maybe he needs time after what happened.
I wonder if you're still out there Dad.
Alive.
(ominous music)
Dad.
(soothing music)
