01:12The First Days
01:13June 18th, 2020 started like any other day.
01:17In Millbrook, New York, the town gathered for a Little League baseball game.
01:21First time through the order?
01:22Third.
01:23Third?
01:25What inning is this?
01:26Fifth.
01:27Oh boy.
01:28Miles away, the terminally ill Sam and her emotional support cat Frodo were escorted to Manhattan,
01:34attending a marionette performance with her fellow hospice patients.
01:37Knowing that her cancer would soon take its toll,
01:40Sam hoped to grab a slice from Patsy's Pizzeria, a staple from her childhood.
01:45We have to head back now.
01:47Why?
01:48Something's happening in the city and they want us back ASAP.
01:51But we're getting pizza first.
01:53No, we're going to have to arrange it with pizza.
01:55Pizza would have to wait, as meteors rained from above,
01:59marking the arrival of aliens known as Death Angels.
02:02This event wasn't restricted to New York.
02:05This is a mandatory evacuation order.
02:08We remain under attack.
02:10Seek shelter on water.
02:12The attackers cannot swim.
02:14The Death Angels landed in at least 127 sites around the world,
02:19from Los Angeles to London to Shanghai.
02:21The largest meteor hit Mexico, however.
02:24The Death Angels came from a distant planet without light.
02:27Adapting to their surroundings, these creatures might not be able to see,
02:31but they possess highly sensitive hearing and skin stronger than armor.
02:35What is happening?
02:40As the Death Angels ravaged Millbrook,
02:42it didn't take long for Lee Abbott to realize that keeping quiet is the key to survival.
02:47Since Lee's daughter Regan is deaf,
02:49the Abbott family learned sign language, giving them an advantage.
02:58Back in New York, Sam found shelter with a group of survivors.
03:01Among them was Henry, who also picked up on the aliens' advanced hearing.
03:05As some refused to stay quiet,
03:07Henry was forced to get blood on his hands to protect his family.
03:11What is happening?
03:13Trapped. Trapped.
03:17We're all gonna die.
03:21The military destroyed all bridges out of Manhattan.
03:30Although this isolated the Death Angels, it also trapped the survivors.
03:35Sam never planned on escaping from the city, however.
03:38With her days limited even before the aliens landed,
03:40Sam just wanted to visit Patsy's one last time.
03:43She set out with Frodo, who wasn't the only member of her fellowship.
03:47She encountered an English law student named Eric,
03:50who had the good instincts to follow her.
03:52Look, let's just get out of the river, okay?
03:57Sam noticed details others missed,
03:59finding that people could talk around running water without attracting the creatures.
04:03This helped them reach Patsy's, which was sadly already destroyed.
04:07Returning the favor for constantly saving his life,
04:10Eric located another pizza joint and delighted Sam with a magic show.
04:26The only thing left on Sam's bucket list was getting Eric and Frodo to safety.
04:30Thankfully, a boat was departing Manhattan with Henry's family already on board.
04:35According to Henry, other boats were trying to rescue people,
04:38but due to mass hysteria, only a couple got out of Manhattan.
04:50Eric and Frodo narrowly reached the boat
04:52while a Death Angel drowned trying to catch them.
04:54Sam remained behind,
04:56but she could die contently knowing what it felt like to live again.
04:59Listening to Feeling Good,
05:01she accepted death as others around the world struggled to survive.
05:13The invasion continues.
05:15By September 14, 2020, Millbrook was virtually abandoned.
05:19The Abbotts made it through 89 days living on their farm outside town.
05:24They left a trail of sand between their farm and town to pick up supplies.
05:28The family took numerous precautions,
05:30walking without shoes on, avoiding crunchy food like chips,
05:33and not letting the kids play with noisy toys.
05:36Regan took pity on her youngest sibling, Bo,
05:39giving him a toy rocket ship.
05:41To the family's horror, Bo put batteries in the ship,
05:44attracting a Death Angel and sealing his fate.
05:50Meanwhile, college student Alex Taylor, who has asthma,
05:53and her boyfriend Martin Edwards were also struggling to survive
05:56in this new post-apocalyptic world.
05:58This is the premise of the video game A Quiet Place The Road Ahead,
06:02set shortly after day 100 of the invasion.
06:05Like the Abbottts, Alex and Martin relied on stealth to survive,
06:09unaware that the Death Angels had a major vulnerability,
06:12one that Regan Abbott was about to discover.
06:14Back on the Abbottts' farm,
06:16Lee's wife Evelyn became pregnant again shortly after Bo's death,
06:19giving the Abbottts nine months to plan for the baby's arrival.
06:22October 2, 2021, day 472 of the invasion,
06:27would be Lee's last peaceful night with his family.
06:30They enjoyed a cooked vegetable dinner and played Monopoly,
06:33but even that ended in a close call.
06:35The next day, Lee took his eldest son Marcus to a waterfall,
06:39having realized that it blocked out other sounds.
06:42Regan, still feeling guilty about Bo, visited her brother's grave.
06:46Left alone, Evelyn unexpectedly went into labor
06:49and further complicating matters stepped on a nail.
06:57Meanwhile, Lee and Marcus encountered a man and his late wife in the woods.
07:01Unable to go on, the man drew out a Death Angel as Lee and Marcus fled.
07:06The farm wasn't much safer,
07:08as Evelyn became trapped with a Death Angel lurking around the house.
07:11Evelyn managed to turn the farm's red lights on,
07:14alerting Lee and Marcus of the danger.
07:16They distracted the Death Angel by lighting fireworks,
07:19which also signaled Regan.
07:21Lee discovered Evelyn and their newborn,
07:23escorting them to a soundproof hiding spot in the barn.
07:26As the hiding place flooded, though,
07:28Evelyn and her baby had to seek refuge elsewhere.
07:30Reuniting, Regan and Marcus endured multiple close encounters with the Death Angel.
07:35As his children found themselves backed into a tight space,
07:38Lee made the ultimate sacrifice.
07:40Ahhhh!
07:53Attracting the creature so Regan and Marcus could get away,
07:56the kids headed to the basement with their mother,
07:59but the Death Angel wasn't far behind.
08:01Regan noticed earlier that the alien backed off
08:04when her cochlear implant made a high-pitched sound.
08:10She intensified the noise by putting her implant on a microphone, revealing the creature's
08:17weak spot beneath its armor.
08:19Evelyn blew the alien away with a shotgun, turning the tables in humanity's favor.
08:28Somewhere beyond the sea, the Abbotts had no time to celebrate with other death angels
08:33on the way.
08:44The family embarked to find other survivors and spread the news.
08:48Following another near-death experience, the Abbotts were rescued by Emmett, an old friend
08:52who lost his family during the invasion.
08:55Emmett took them to his hideout underneath a factory when the song Beyond the Sea had
08:58been playing on the radio.
09:11Regan deduced that the song was a signal originating from an island with a radio tower.
09:16If they could reach it, Regan could broadcast her implant's high-pitched frequency, weakening
09:20the death angels on a wider scale.
09:23Regan and a hesitant Emmett set out, while Evelyn and Marcus remained behind with the
09:28baby.
09:29Regan and Emmett made it to the docks where feral bandits confronted them.
09:42Emmett managed to subdue them by making noise, although this created another problem.
09:47Falling into the water, Emmett discovered that the creatures can't swim.
09:50Of course, he wasn't the first one to realize this.
09:53Arriving at the island, Emmett and Regan met a colony of survivors, including Henry.
10:06Their peaceful existence would be intermitted as another death angel stowed away to the
10:10island.
10:11With time running out, Henry escorted Regan and Emmett to the radio station.
10:15Henry was presumably killed in the process, but his death would not be in vain.
10:20Regan planted her hearing aid on a microphone, allowing her to slay one death angel while
10:24Marcus protected his family against another.
