PG | 1h 26min | Sci-Fi , Action, Drama| 15 June 1973
During a time of waning global resources, a crew of young researchers travel into the future to escape an apocalypse before the shutdown of their time transfer project. They find that some type of disaster has de-populated the Idaho region and, by implication, the nation or perhaps the world. Facing an unknown, barren future of abandoned towns and deserted vehicles; void of radio signals or any signs of air or land traffic, they encounter an abandoned freight train filled with bagged bodies. Their further discoveries of humanity's future fate is somewhat less than rosy. They also learn their time travel was not without significant costs to their own health. After one of the group travels further into the future, she encounters a family in a futuristic automobile; implying humankind has recovered from the disaster (or have they?)

00:00:30Great, what's his length?
00:00:44Approximately 36.
00:00:45I'm going to tag him now.
00:00:48Okay, wait a sec, let me tune it in.
00:01:00Okay, I'm going to label him number 11.
00:01:04If I get lucky, maybe I can find a patrolman for you sometime.
00:01:08Okay, I'm going to head back now.
00:01:10See you later.
00:01:59See you later.
00:02:23See you later.
00:02:47See you later.
00:03:11See you later.
00:03:35See you later.
00:03:59See you later.
00:04:27See you later.
00:04:51See you later.
00:05:15See you later.
00:05:43What time is it?
00:05:45About five after three.
00:05:47Are you having problems?
00:05:49No.
00:05:50I've got a couple of new snacks.
00:05:52Why, are you waiting?
00:05:54Not very long.
00:05:56Evan's is sinking the lag time in the other unit.
00:05:59Can't they make it better?
00:06:02They use something besides chocolate.
00:06:04We get vanilla next week, it's been ordered.
00:06:08Hey, Issa, your sister got here.
00:06:10Karen, where is she?
00:06:11She was in your father's office.
00:06:12I'll see you.
00:06:14Evan, I need six more crafters.
00:06:16Where are they?
00:06:17Mom?
00:06:18I really need them.
00:06:19I'll see what I can do.
00:06:21You know, your sister got here.
00:06:22Yeah.
00:06:30Hi, where's Karen?
00:06:32Lou has had her.
00:06:33She's removing her braces.
00:06:36What does she look like?
00:06:38Lovely.
00:06:41How's her head?
00:06:43I think she's going to be all right.
00:06:46I haven't told her anything about the project yet.
00:06:49Decided to leave that to you.
00:06:51Thanks, chicken.
00:06:53Jess and I have to fly to Denver this afternoon in about an hour.
00:06:56We've got somebody going crackers over us down there.
00:06:59Nothing that won't blow over.
00:07:01They know anything?
00:07:03No, it's the same as before.
00:07:06This one's from Washington, though.
00:07:08We may have to give him a tour.
00:07:10Not again.
00:07:12Well, he doesn't sound too smart.
00:07:14But he is asking some uncomfortable questions.
00:07:18I'll be back Monday.
00:07:19I'll alert Louis by phone if he's going to come back with us.
00:07:23Yeah, well, as long as everybody knows ahead of time.
00:07:26In the morning, it might be a good idea to drive by the lava.
00:07:30Show her what it's like before she has to transfer into it.
00:07:33Should I tell her everything?
00:07:36Yeah.
00:07:37But go easy on the theories and tell Cleveland to cool it with his horror stories
00:07:40until she gets used to the whole thing.
00:07:42Don't do that.
00:07:45She can have room 27.
00:07:52Show her around.
00:07:54Make sure she understands exactly who's clear and who isn't on security.
00:07:57Just like you did with Judy.
00:08:01I'll see you later.
00:08:07Hi.
00:08:13Hi.
00:08:14You've got your sister.
00:08:15Louis is yanking your bracelet.
00:08:16I heard.
00:08:17Who's this?
00:08:18Is this Jennifer?
00:08:19Uh-huh.
00:08:20It's a hairline fracture.
00:08:21But it's not so bad.
00:08:22How is she?
00:08:23She's all right.
00:08:24She has to stick to those crutches for a couple of weeks, but she can transfer.
00:08:28Hey.
00:08:29Hi.
00:08:30Oh.
00:08:31Uh-huh.
00:08:32How about I get a knock out of the sister here?
00:08:33As soon as I can get this hardware out of here, she'll be real natural.
00:08:34How you doing?
00:08:35Really good.
00:08:36You sure you know how to do this, huh?
00:08:37I think so.
00:08:38You had a transfer this afternoon, didn't you?
00:08:39Yeah.
00:08:40I've got some new snakes.
00:08:41You sure?
00:08:42Yeah, I'll show you.

00:09:55I'll show you.
00:09:56The month is August.
00:09:57I think.
00:09:58Late August by the stars.
00:09:59How do you mean September by now?
00:10:00I can't remember.
00:10:01See, but the weather isn't too different.
00:10:02It's starting to get a little cold, though.
00:10:03But the tree rings will tell us more there.
00:10:04And, like, who knows all about this?
00:10:05Nobody.
00:10:06Nobody outside the project.
00:10:07Not even the government.
00:10:08Do they even suspect?
00:10:09Nope.
00:10:10They still think we're working on material projection.
00:10:11I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
00:10:12I'm sorry.
00:10:13I'm sorry.
00:10:14I'm sorry.
00:10:15I'm sorry.
00:10:16I'm sorry.
00:10:17I'm sorry.
00:10:18I'm sorry.
00:10:19I'm sorry.
00:10:20I'm sorry.
00:10:21I'm sorry.
00:10:22I'm sorry.
00:10:23I'm sorry.
00:10:24I'm sorry.
00:10:25I don't know anything about the time dip.
00:10:28That's why Daddy has to play tricks.
00:10:31They either creeps ask questions or we just give them a funny tour.
00:10:35See, Dad and Lewis are trying to get it together.
00:10:38To secretly transfer a lot of young people into the future.
00:10:42By passing Echo Crisis or whatever it is.
00:10:45Start a new civilization.
00:10:48Daddy can't come, Mom.
00:10:50Uh-oh.
00:10:51Something to do with the kidneys.
00:10:54Louis has curtains for anybody much over 20 to try it.
00:11:00Don't say anything to him about it, okay?
00:11:04I won't.
00:11:10Did you get any romances at the clinic?
00:11:13No. It's too much trouble to get very close to anybody there.
00:11:16Still a virgin?
00:11:18No, I thought they told you about that.
00:11:21I got raped.
00:11:23Happened a couple of months after I got to the clinic by this guy named Paul.
00:11:27I don't know. I never really thought about it much until he did it.
00:11:30So I called off to another clinic. Never heard from him again.
00:11:34What about you?
00:11:36I don't know. I guess I sort of like being alone a lot.
00:11:40There's hundreds of square miles of that stuff on the Snape River plain.
00:11:54The last of it bubbled up at the time of Christ.
00:11:57See, in the present time stance, the units are in the project building where you were yesterday.
00:12:01Uh-huh.
00:12:02When we transfer this afternoon, we'll end up out there someplace.
00:12:06About ten feet under the surface of the lava.
00:12:09Only it'll be fifty-six years later.
00:12:14And there's nobody left?
00:12:16Well, Cleve and I went down to Aberdeen and American Falls, and it was all abandoned.
00:12:21Couldn't get anything on any of the radio bands, and didn't cite any air traffic.
00:12:26Afternoon, ladies.
00:12:27Hi.
00:12:28What if you'd be so kind to give us a ride?
00:12:30Sure.
00:12:31Yeah, we're just going ten miles down the road.
00:12:33All right, skate on out of here.
00:12:51Wow, I'm sure glad you guys picked us up.
00:12:53Me and my lady are starting to get warm out there.
00:12:55Where are you all going to?
00:12:57Going to a festival.
00:12:59What are you doing up here in Idaho?
00:13:01Well, it hasn't started yet.
00:13:02It'll be about another couple, three weeks.
00:13:04Then we'll shoot on over and see what's going on.
00:13:07We've just been sleeping out, digging a star out in the trees.
00:13:10Having a fine old time.
00:13:12We're just gypsies.
00:13:14We ain't got a care in the world.
00:13:18You guys are going to be at the festival, huh?
00:13:20Oh, yeah.
00:13:21We came with a big family.
00:13:22We all just kind of scattered around.
00:13:24So we meet up with customers.
00:13:54All right.
00:13:55Have a good day.
00:13:56You too.
00:13:57See you later.
00:13:59See you.
00:14:01Bye.
00:14:03Bye.
00:14:29Jesus.
00:14:37Come on.
00:14:39Me too.
00:14:43As soon as you get in, rule number one, lock the door.
00:14:47And rule number two, take off your clothes.
00:14:50Sounds familiar.
00:14:52These pants are a bitch.
00:14:55Why do we have to wear this stuff anyway?
00:14:57Oh, they're good in the lava.
00:14:58You'll see when we get there.
00:15:00You can't wear anything heavy or anything with zippers.
00:15:03Nothing metallic.
00:15:05Clee left his sunglasses on once.
00:15:07When he transferred, Alice ripped his ears off.
00:15:14Okay.
00:15:15Never, ever try to transfer anything over again.
00:15:20Socks are okay, though.
00:15:23Understand?
00:15:29Come on.
00:15:34Okay.
00:15:35This is the transfer center.
00:15:37Is it okay if I sit down?
00:15:39Sure.
00:15:41And this...
00:15:43I'm going to lock it.
00:15:45...is a material projection compartment.
00:15:48Material projection compartment.
00:15:51You can put your pants in the jacket.
00:15:59Close it and make sure it's locked.
00:16:04Now, this is the transfer control unit.
00:16:07The white lights are always on.
00:16:09That indicates the unit has power.
00:16:12These are the activating switches that are thrown in sequence.
00:16:16And then you wait for the corresponding lights to come on.
00:16:19And that means that the unit has been phased or it's ready to go.
00:16:24This is the transfer bar.
00:16:26Just need to press it lightly, but you'll see when I do it.
00:16:29Okay?
00:16:31Okay.
00:16:33This red line here, this is the danger line.
00:16:38Anything inside this has to be secured to the transfer grid.
00:16:43Can't be anything loose.
00:16:46Over here, that's the power switch to our main reactor.
00:16:50And over here, Karen, behind these panels are all the adjustment rods.
00:16:56They're used to keep each unit in tune with the other.
00:16:59They control the lag time and the extent of penetration into the future.
00:17:04See, we keep them constant because they're extremely sensitive.
00:17:08Evans has to tune them every few days.
00:17:10So I'll let you sit down and dial a date, you know?
00:17:15Okay.
00:17:16Sit here.
00:17:17Like that?
00:17:18Yeah, straddle.
00:17:22Move up a little.
00:17:25Okay.
00:17:26Now, don't touch anything.
00:17:29And you can put your hands to your knees and keep them there.
00:17:33And relax.
00:17:45Okay.
00:18:03Isa?
00:18:04Here.
00:18:16Jeez.
00:18:18Where's the building?
00:18:20About 11 miles away from here.
00:18:22It's over there.
00:18:24Only there's not much left of it.
00:18:26Tore it down for some reason.
00:18:34Think you'll ever have any kids?
00:18:36If we all transfer permanently, I'll try.
00:18:39I'm not sure who will, though.
00:18:41Probably Cleve.
00:18:43Probably Cleve.
00:18:46We just have to get more people.
00:18:49You can't start civilizations with just 12 people.
00:18:53You know, I was tempted to kidnap that couple we picked up on the road this morning.
00:18:57Why didn't we?
00:18:58I mean, why didn't we ask them to come with us?
00:19:01Too dangerous of security.
00:19:03And everything isn't well enough organized yet.
00:19:06It might be in a few weeks, not now.
00:19:10I wonder how long they'll live.
00:19:12The hitchhikers?
00:19:14Try not to think of them.
00:19:16They don't matter anymore.
00:19:26You know, I think I like it here.
00:19:28Yeah, I like it here, too.
00:19:30It's peaceful.
00:19:32Nobody trying to wreck anybody else.
00:19:34Except those who have to.
00:19:36To get along.
00:19:37Like the flies and the lizards and the gopher snakes.
00:19:41Stuff that's beautiful, you know?
00:19:43We used to have nightmares that looked like this.
00:19:45I mean, they were beautiful nightmares.
00:19:49I suppose it doesn't make any sense, does it?
00:19:54What you said about how we're the only ones now.
00:19:57I mean, if everybody else did die, some people would be afraid in our position alone and all.
00:20:03I don't know.
00:20:06I think it's sort of nice.
00:20:07Like you just said, nobody's out to get anybody else.
00:20:10We could just fall asleep in the sun.
00:20:13Wouldn't have to worry about anybody.
00:20:16Well, who are you afraid of?
00:20:17Most of all?
00:20:21Everybody, I guess.
00:20:27Damn it, number four has run out on us.
00:20:30Yoo-hoo, number four.
00:20:32Just leave it blank.
00:20:38Number five.
00:20:44Is 62.2.
00:20:48Mommy, on our way back, check in for number four.
00:20:51Okay.
00:20:52What's his length?
00:20:53Number four?
00:20:54Yeah.
00:20:5518 inches.
00:20:57Oh, probably got himself swallowed.
00:21:00By what?
00:21:01One of his friends.
00:21:05How far is this one?
00:21:07About a quarter mile.
00:21:09Getting tired?
00:21:10No, not really.
00:21:15Issa?
00:21:23Issa, are you okay?
00:21:34Help me out of here.
00:21:37Okay.
00:21:53Are you okay?
00:21:56Issa?
00:21:57I don't know.
00:22:05Karen.
00:22:06Wait.
00:22:07Cleve?
00:22:08Cleve?
00:22:09Cleve?
00:22:10Cleve?
00:22:14Issa.
00:22:17Issa?
00:22:19I think we better transfer.
00:22:21Here, lady.
00:22:36Oh.
00:23:06Okay.
00:23:37Issa?
00:23:40Issa?
00:23:43Issa?
00:23:49Issa?
00:23:53Lewis?
00:23:55Lewis?
00:24:00Lewis?
00:24:02Anybody?
00:24:03Can anybody hear me?
00:24:06Lewis?
00:24:12I can't find him.
00:24:36Lewis?
00:24:37Lewis?
00:24:38Lewis?
00:24:39Lewis?
00:24:40Lewis?
00:24:41Lewis?
00:24:42Lewis?
00:24:43Lewis?
00:24:44Lewis?
00:24:45Lewis?
00:24:46Lewis?

00:26:00Lewis?
00:26:01Lewis?
00:26:02Lewis?
00:26:03like a piano. I think you should read your father's letters. It's not fair.
00:26:10I wonder what a piano would sound like out here. You know he's concerned about you.
00:26:15Why don't you just write him a note or something?
00:26:18I don't know.
00:26:19She's being a bitch again. She's not even opening the letters.
00:26:23Isn't that a damned man? Just don't push me.
00:26:28You know, you might not have much more time to sit around and think about yourself.
00:26:32I don't know what I'm thinking. I'm just blank.
00:26:35Well, it's getting kind of close on the other side these days.
00:26:40George, that's your father. He's having a tough time of it.
00:26:46Karen is blank.
00:26:50Dear Karen.
00:26:51I'm going for a walk.
00:26:55Why don't you just tear them up instead of keeping them around?
00:27:12Hey, man, we forgot about Clyde.
00:27:15Clyde? Oh, yeah, we can't forget about Clyde.
00:27:19Is there a pet snake, little man?
00:27:21Yes, I guess.
00:27:43It'll only be a minute.
00:28:13They're going to post guards and suspend the entire project by tomorrow.
00:28:40The townies were sent home after lunch and told not to return in the morning.
00:28:43I think it's all over with.
00:28:45Do you think they're on to us?
00:28:47Mm-mm.
00:28:50What about the units?
00:28:51They can't touch the main front reactor station. We got the power.
00:28:54For a while.
00:28:56I don't understand it.
00:28:58Arthur drove Jen into ARCA this morning.
00:29:00Nobody said a word.
00:29:06What about Lewis and Nora?
00:29:07Split. Disappeared.
00:29:09George doesn't have the slightest idea where they can be.
00:29:12But he said a couple of agents picked up evidence in town this morning.
00:29:15Said they were flying into Denver for questioning, whatever that means.
00:29:25Lewis, what are you doing?
00:29:27Hello, Joanna.
00:29:28Take this.
00:29:30I'm sorry she becomes your number one.
00:29:37Hey!
00:29:47I saw some people I didn't recognize this morning, and they didn't look too friendly.
00:29:51You know, they're not helping us, Dorian. That's all.
00:29:54So if you decide to stay, what you got to do is get yourself out of this damn desert before the snows come.
00:29:58Where are your inventory lists?
00:29:59In my room.
00:30:00I'll need those and lists of all the rooms that contain survival equipment.
00:30:03No problem.
00:30:04All right.
00:30:05Did Mike and Leslie meet you this morning?
00:30:06Yeah.
00:30:07He said he was about 12 miles away, and he should be in my center.
00:30:11Yeah, what about Karen?
00:30:12She went for a walk.
00:30:13Okay.
00:30:14And let's try for those lists.
00:30:20What happens if somebody gets caught?
00:30:22I don't know.
00:30:24What about you?
00:30:25What do you mean?
00:30:27You shouldn't have come.
00:30:32I always wanted to try it, mate.
00:30:35How long will you last?
00:30:37What about Nora?
00:30:41Well, she might make it.
00:30:44She knew the risk.
00:30:46She decided.
00:30:48Come on.
00:31:18Come on.
00:31:49Hello?
00:31:51This is Karen Brayden.
00:31:57Would you please connect me with my father?
00:32:08My father, George Brayden.
00:32:15I...
00:32:21Jesus Christ, can't you just...
00:32:45We've got someone on the inside.
00:32:54I think in the main project area.
00:32:55In the main area?
00:32:56Yeah.
00:32:58Oh, my God.
00:33:20Jesus Christ.
00:33:21What the hell are you doing in here?
00:33:23I'm getting supply, you dumbass.
00:33:25The guards are all over this place.
00:33:26You've got to find him and steal the toilet tissue.
00:33:28Come on.
00:33:29Shut up.
00:33:33Wait a minute.
00:33:34Leave it.
00:33:37He's nothing weird.
00:33:38I don't know what kind of beer on.
00:33:40Hey, come on, shut up.
00:33:41Why?
00:33:42Shut up.
00:33:56Okay.
00:33:57Come on.
00:33:58Come on.
00:33:59Come on.
00:34:01Okay.
00:34:02Come on.
00:34:03Come on.
00:34:04Come on.
00:34:05Come on.
00:34:06Come on.
00:34:08Come on.
00:34:14Come on.
00:34:20Come on.
00:34:26Come on.
00:34:34Come on.
00:34:44Come on.
00:34:57Come on.
00:35:05Come on.
00:35:16What about your glasses?
00:35:20Oh, yeah.
00:35:23Here.
00:35:30Y'all ready?
00:35:33Okay, here we go.
00:35:49It's all right.
00:35:52These things airtight?
00:35:55No, they don't.
00:35:58Okay.
00:35:59Okay.
00:36:00Okay.
00:36:01Okay.
00:36:02Okay.
00:36:03Okay.
00:36:04Okay.
00:36:05Okay.
00:36:06Okay.
00:36:07Okay.
00:36:08Okay.
00:36:09Okay.
00:36:11These things airtight?
00:36:14No, I've got them through underground.
00:36:16I'm cold.
00:36:26There you go.
00:36:32I'm still cold.
00:36:41Hey, Arthur.
00:36:43What do you think it is?
00:36:45I'm not entirely sure, but the unit's completely out.
00:36:47The ready lights don't even come on.
00:36:49Did you check, too?
00:36:50Yeah, it's locked.
00:36:51I think somebody spent the night in it.
00:36:59What's going on?
00:37:00The other unit's completely out.
00:37:01It won't transfer.
00:37:06Hey.
00:37:07Hey.
00:37:08Go down and hit the switches, Ronald.
00:37:09Sure.
00:37:12Hey, is Karen down there with you?
00:37:14Yeah, she's here.
00:37:15I wonder if they could have got to the locals.
00:37:18I hear nothing.
00:37:20They did something.
00:37:21Lewis!
00:37:23Jen says the units are out.
00:37:25Yeah, it looks like that.
00:37:26What's wrong?
00:37:27I mean, for how long?
00:37:28I don't know.
00:37:29Ronald?
00:37:30All I get's the amber flood.
00:37:32Were there any little clicks when you hit the green switches?
00:37:34Nothing.
00:37:35Shit.
00:37:38I don't want to stay.
00:37:40You'd better have a meeting.
00:37:41Shouldn't somebody scan each of the units, just in case?
00:37:44Once the main is off, it takes 12 hours from power work until you can get a response.
00:37:48Just relax, Leslie.
00:38:03Well, what are we going to do now?
00:38:06It's been decided that you and I will go directly overland to the Bruno sand dunes
00:38:10and meet the others who come down the river by boat.
00:38:13Then we'll all head for Portland.
00:38:16Portland?
00:38:17Portland, Oregon?
00:38:18That's right.
00:38:19But that's 500 miles or something.
00:38:23This is the overland route that Karen and I will be taking.
00:38:27We're going to wait here at the dunes for the others to come up the river from Pocatello.
00:38:31We'll leave notes for you here and here.
00:38:35Okay.
00:38:36Watch for a flag here.
00:38:39Okay.
00:38:40We'll meet you there.
00:38:41Okay.
00:38:42I'll be here.
00:38:43I'll be here.
00:38:44I'll be here.
00:38:45I'll be here.
00:38:46I'll be here.
00:38:47I'll be here.
00:38:48I'll be here.
00:38:49I'll be here.
00:38:50I'll be here.
00:38:52How's that foot?
00:38:53Oh, sort of miserable.
00:38:55You aren't worried, are you?
00:38:56No.
00:38:57Leslie's acting a little freaky, though.
00:39:00I don't know...
00:39:01I don't know why she wants to go back.
00:39:03There must be somebody.
00:39:05You're not going through Twin Falls?
00:39:07Probably not worth the effort.
00:39:08We'll cut to Shoshone.
00:39:09You hear about the radio batteries?
00:39:11Yeah.
00:39:12I guess we'll have to use flares every night.
00:39:15Hey, Karen.
00:39:17Michael!
00:39:18Audrey needs some help with that tent.
00:39:20Okay.
00:39:21Karen, here's an extra vanilla for you.
00:39:23Thanks, Michael.
00:39:24Hey, Ronald, look what they gave me.
00:39:26Who?
00:39:27Arthur and Jan.
00:39:28It comes apart like a puzzle,
00:39:29and they don't know how to do it yet.
00:39:31They're going to show me when we see them again.
00:39:33Isn't it beautiful?
00:39:35Yeah, it's nice.
00:39:38I'm just jealous.
00:39:40Grow up.
00:39:41Look, you should have had this all packed by now.
00:39:43We're about ready to go.
00:39:50Okay.
00:40:21Okay.
00:40:40Let's go!
00:40:42Come on!
00:40:44Let's go!
00:40:50Come on!
00:41:21Ronald?
00:41:23Do you know anything about having babies?
00:41:25I mean, about delivery and all.
00:41:27I hear it's a mess.
00:41:29Why?
00:41:31Well, when I have one,
00:41:32I'm trying to think of where we might be.
00:41:35I hope it'll be warm enough.
00:41:38We'll have to have a sanitary place with water.
00:41:41They always need water.
00:41:43We can talk about it when the time comes.
00:41:46And if it doesn't,
00:41:47it won't be the end of the world.
00:41:49It's not very funny, Ronald.
00:41:53Oh, shit.
00:41:55What's the matter?
00:41:56I dropped the ring.
00:41:58It's all undone.
00:42:00Do you know how to do them?
00:42:02No, I don't.
00:42:18We'll camp here tonight.
00:42:22It's getting dark.
00:42:27At least you won't have to sleep on those rocks again.
00:42:39Do you want to zip them together?
00:42:48Ronald, you can do anything you want, you know.
00:42:52We've got to get this camp together.
00:42:53It's close to flare time.
00:43:17It's getting dark.
00:43:34Might be somebody inside.
00:43:35Shut up.
00:43:36Waiting for us.
00:43:39I can't see a thing.
00:43:40There's dust inside of this.
00:43:42How could dust get inside of here?
00:43:47What the hell?
00:44:18Hey, Ronald.
00:44:19The keys are still in it.
00:44:21You want to steal it?
00:44:48I don't know.
00:44:49I don't know.
00:44:50I don't know.
00:44:51I don't know.
00:44:52I don't know.
00:44:53I don't know.
00:44:54I don't know.
00:44:55I don't know.
00:44:56I don't know.
00:44:57I don't know.
00:44:58I don't know.
00:44:59I don't know.
00:45:00I don't know.
00:45:01I don't know.
00:45:02I don't know.
00:45:03I don't know.
00:45:04I don't know.
00:45:05I don't know.
00:45:06I don't know.
00:45:07I don't know.
00:45:08I don't know.
00:45:09I don't know.
00:45:10I don't know.
00:45:11I don't know.
00:45:12I don't know.
00:45:13I don't know.
00:45:14I don't know.
00:45:15I don't know.
00:45:17I don't know.
00:45:26Karen?
00:45:46Here.
00:45:47Water?
00:45:48No.
00:45:49Never mind.
00:45:50Here.
00:45:51Water?
00:45:52No.
00:45:53Never mind.
00:46:54There's close to a hundred cars down there.
00:47:10Southern Pacific, I think.
00:47:11It'll take us about an hour to get there and back.
00:47:15Could be worth it.
00:47:17Might be something we could use.
00:47:18What's the matter?
00:47:21I don't want to go look at a goddamn train.
00:47:23I'm tired.
00:47:24For Christ's sake.
00:47:27Stay here then.
00:47:28Here.
00:47:29I'll be back.
00:47:33Okay.
00:47:34Come on, Clee, let's go.
00:47:38Okay, wait one second, okay?
00:47:44Where's Lewis?
00:47:48We're edge to start moving again.
00:47:50He's not coming with us.
00:47:52What?
00:47:53It's just that Lewis isn't coming with us here, Cleve. He left this note for you.
00:48:01He's dying, Cleve.
00:48:03His kidneys are hemorrhaging.
00:48:05He says he'll just be a problem to us from now on.
00:48:08He's helped us as much as he can and he wants to be alone now, so leave him be.
00:48:12That's ridiculous. Now which way did he go?
00:48:14He told me not to tell you.
00:48:16You couldn't possibly find him now anyway.
00:48:19He wants to be alone now.
00:48:23Elgin, don't look for him!
00:48:25Hey, Lewis! Lewis!
00:48:48Come on.
00:49:18Come on.
00:49:48Come on.
00:50:19Let's see. Refrigerators.
00:50:22Probably 50,000 gallons of chartreuse high-gloss enamel.
00:50:27We could paint Portland.
00:50:30I used to have this girlfriend at the clinic that had chartreuse here.
00:50:37Well, I don't suppose it was empty.
00:50:40No.
00:50:42It's not empty.
00:50:44They were all in plastic bags on their way somewhere.
00:50:48Probably a dumping point up the line.
00:50:53I think they were coming from the coast.
00:52:14Hey, Green, how do you like that for a boy?
00:52:33For a what?
00:52:35Boy or girl.
00:52:37I suppose it doesn't matter since we have a fresh start now.
00:52:42We call the boys' girls' names and the girls' boys' names
00:52:45and nobody will know the difference.
00:52:47Names, I mean.
00:52:49They'll grow up and multiply and do the same act all over again.
00:52:53Only they probably won't be able to have an encore like we did.
00:52:57You're what we use for last names.
00:53:03I'm a woman now.
00:53:05That gives you the right to have a bunch of kids?
00:53:08Yes, a bunch, a whole bunch if I want.
00:53:11It's different now.
00:53:13What's different about it?
00:53:15It's the beginning, right?
00:53:17And the beginning is as much a part of the end as the middle.
00:53:20It's a better kind of beginning.
00:53:22A different kind of beginning.
00:53:24A different kind of middle.
00:53:25And a shiny new end.
00:53:27So where have you been?
00:53:29Someplace.
00:53:38I don't know.
00:54:09Let's start a fire.
00:54:11We're having some of that soup stuff again.
00:54:14Okay.
00:54:18You're two days late, huh?
00:54:20Yeah.
00:54:22I should have been here today even if they had to walk.
00:54:27I'm sorry.
00:54:29It's okay.
00:54:31It's okay.
00:54:33It's okay.
00:54:35I should have been here even if they had to walk.
00:54:42Ronald, I have something to tell you.
00:54:44Really?
00:54:48Yeah, I think I'm pregnant.
00:54:50By Arthur.
00:54:52We made it a few days after that thing with my sister happened.
00:54:57Anyway, I'm about a week and a half late now.
00:54:59That doesn't mean you're pregnant.
00:55:01I know. I've missed before, but...
00:55:04It's different.
00:55:06I just thought you should know.
00:55:08I guess you won't have to do anything with me anymore.
00:55:11I mean, I won't try to make you or anything.
00:55:18Think they've left yet?
00:55:20Who, Arthur?
00:55:21Yeah.
00:55:22Probably not.
00:55:25Well, when Cleve and the others come, do you think we could wait until they catch up?
00:55:29No, we'll stick to the plan.
00:55:30Well, what if I stay?
00:55:32There isn't enough food. We can't spare any.
00:55:35Besides, if it'd been Mr. Arthur, you'd be in a mess.
00:55:39I have to tell him.
00:55:45I'd give my right arm for a chain curler right now.
00:55:49Think there are any cows left?
00:55:51I doubt it.
00:55:54Ronald, look!
00:55:56Right there, look!
00:55:58It's Cleve!
00:56:02It's Cleve!
00:56:33It was just a couple of kids at first.
00:56:35But then we followed them and found this small tribe of third-generation survivors living by the river.
00:56:40The oldest ones we saw were about 30.
00:56:42They don't live very long and can't do very much.
00:56:45Just sort of gurgle and bump around a lot.
00:56:47Most compassionate people you can imagine.
00:56:49No language, no government, no agriculture.
00:56:52Well, what do they eat?
00:56:54Whatever they can get in their mouth. Wild potatoes, mostly.
00:56:57And she's deaf.
00:56:59I think practically all of them were.
00:57:01But they were happy. Incredibly happy.
00:57:05And they shared everything.
00:57:07Some are so retarded they can't even find food for themselves.
00:57:10But others give them enough to get by.
00:57:12Rans probably are a lot smarter than the rest of them.
00:57:15She's almost normal, except for her hearing.
00:57:18And a slight motor retardation.
00:57:20You know, if we find her, we find her.
00:57:23A slight motor retardation.
00:57:26You know, if we find more of them on the coast,
00:57:29maybe we can find a boyfriend as good as she is and get them together.
00:57:32See if she can't have a normal child.
00:57:37Why don't you try with her, Cleve?
00:57:39I mean, not that you're perfect stock or anything.
00:57:42But wouldn't she be better off with your baby than somebody else's like her?
00:57:45I think it might be kind of interesting.
00:57:54Well, Jesus, I didn't mean anything by that.
00:57:57It just seems like it would be better.
00:58:00I mean, it does look like it's up to all of us now if they're all like her.
00:58:08Anyway, guess what, y'all?
00:58:11I'm pregnant.
00:58:15Not him. It was Arthur.
00:58:17Like it was all right with Jen.
00:58:19I mean, we talked about it and everything.
00:58:22I just thought we should have as many as we could.
00:58:25Lewis said he told you.
00:58:27He told me.
00:58:29Told you what?
00:58:33We're sterile.
00:58:36Sterile? Who?
00:58:38All of us. You.
00:58:43But that's crazy.
00:58:45It's satisfying.
00:58:48But I can feel it.
00:58:50It's permanent, according to Lewis.
00:58:56Karen, how the hell could Lewis possibly know something like that?
00:59:04I don't believe you. You're all liars.
00:59:07Okay, I'll explain it.
00:59:13Ronald, how come she thinks she's pregnant?
00:59:15She missed a period.
00:59:17I think it's emotional.
00:59:19What do you think, Cleve?
00:59:25Not a chance.
00:59:27Especially with one of us.
00:59:30She was rambling on about having kids.
00:59:33I just couldn't tell her.
00:59:35I'm sorry.
00:59:37You sure she's gonna be all right?
00:59:40I thought I'd think about it. It came kind of fast.
00:59:43She has to figure it out by herself.
00:59:46Same as all of us.
00:59:51Want to go take a look at those boats?
00:59:53Sure.
00:59:57Hard to navigate?
00:59:59Nah. We hit bottom a lot.
01:00:01And it's murder when you got aborted.
01:00:03I mean, they weren't exactly built for running rivers with.
01:00:05And I think we're kind of screwed if we don't find rubber rafts at the air base.
01:00:09We might have to spend the winter in some pretty cold country.
01:00:15We could do it. It's tough growing up there.
01:00:18Depends on the competition.
01:00:24Think there's many of them?
01:00:26Probably all over the place from here to China.
01:00:28Dangerous?
01:00:30Hope not. Found a pistol and some boxes of bullets.
01:00:33They didn't seem to know what it was.
01:00:40They have a voice. They might have some real bastards.
01:00:44You know, I think the winners must be really bad.
01:00:47Because they burnt everything they can get their little idiot hands on.
01:00:55How long do you think it'll take us to get to Butterville?
01:00:58A couple of weeks.
01:01:00Add two weeks if we wait for Arthur somewhere along the way.
01:01:10You ever been big on skipping rocks?
01:01:12Not especially.
01:01:18The distance between each skip gets shorter and shorter and shorter.
01:01:21Then it sinks.
01:01:29If you get a good rock, one that's not too flat,
01:01:32you get a lot of skips out of it.
01:01:35If you get a good rock, one that's not too flat,
01:01:38you get a lot of skips out of it.
01:01:43It's a good rock. Stays up there a long time.
01:02:05Let's go.
01:02:24Are you OK?
01:02:26You ready to tell Arthur and Jennifer?
01:02:36Lewis wasn't sure he should tell anybody at first, then at the rest point, just before
01:02:40we left the others, he told me he was going to tell them the next day.
01:02:44This isn't fair, I haven't even got a goddamn dress.
01:02:51Hey, we're having a campfire.
01:02:55I think I'll stay here tonight.
01:03:05I don't think you have to leave anything behind.
01:03:06Just have a beautiful time, along with all the other junk that are in the universe, and
01:03:07say goodbye.
01:03:08I don't know what else to tell you.
01:03:09Perpetuation and all the crap that goes with it is a big hoax, anyway.
01:03:10I don't know what else to tell you, I don't know what else to tell you, I don't know what

01:14:01son of a bitch.
01:14:23Well how the hell did she get in?
01:14:25I don't know, she came from nowhere.
01:14:31Yes, yes.
01:15:01What's the problem?
01:15:09She's in here sir.
01:15:13Miss?
01:15:15You in there, come on out.
01:15:21Miss, you in there.
01:15:23Come out right now.
01:15:31Miss?
01:16:01Miss?
01:16:31Miss?
01:17:01Miss?
01:17:03Miss?
01:17:29Karen?
01:17:31Karen?
01:17:33Listen to me.
01:17:57They were using everything.
01:17:59Everything was being used up.
01:18:29Karen?
01:18:45Karen?
01:18:59Karen?
01:19:29Karen?
01:19:59Karen?
01:20:29Karen?
01:20:59Karen?
01:21:09You.
01:21:13I'm alone in my house.
01:21:17All of us.
01:21:19You.
01:21:23Look at just me.
01:21:25Look at me.
01:21:29There are arms around us.
01:21:33Karen?
01:21:37Karen?
01:21:41It's all right now.
01:21:43It's all right.
01:21:45I just can't remember any interruptions.
01:21:51It's so hard to remember.
01:21:53Karen?
01:22:23Karen?
01:22:53Karen?
01:23:03Are you sure that was one of them?
01:23:05Of course it was.
01:23:13What happens when we run out?
01:23:15We just put one in.
01:23:17We won't need another for quite a ways.
01:23:23I didn't mean that.
01:23:25I mean what if we run out of all of them?
01:23:27And we can't even find any.
01:23:29They'll figure out another way for us.
01:23:31We can use something else.
01:23:35But what if that's too hard?
01:23:37Or expensive?
01:23:39And what if they decide they can't change?
01:23:45We'll use each other then.
01:23:47Won't we?
01:23:53I don't know.
01:24:23I don't know.
01:24:53I don't know.
