Household VIOLENCE/WORSE 5
– An explosion shakes buildings and houses and we see a shock wave moving through the city; the sky turns orange and we see large clouds of smoke in the distance as people get upset when their TVs and cell phones stop working.
► Two hunters with rifles pass through private property and are told to leave; they don’t hear the announcement and one hunter looks through the scope to see who is talking to them, one person (a teenager) points a rifle at the hunter and fires a warning shot which doesn’t seem to deter him and the teenager shoots again shooting the hunter in the chest (he falls to the ground hissing and we see blood on chest; later dies in the medical unit). A SWAT vehicle arrives at the complex and many armed officers prepare to fire as their commander and official speak with the property owner; an officer holds a gun on the property owner, they argue and he shoots him in the chest (he falls to the ground and we see blood), other gunmen in the area open fire and several people appear to be shot with no apparent injury.
► A woman driving an electric car with a dead battery steals another car and drives away while the car’s owner holds on to the door and drags it across the ground before falling. People fight over store supplies; a man tries to grab toilet paper from a woman, they struggle and he punches her in the face; another man with a gun hits the attacker in the face with a gun and threatens to shoot him. People are fighting at gas stations because of dwindling fuel supplies. People are handing out food to other people outside the gate, and people outside are gathering around them, and armed security is pulling them behind the gate.
► A man takes his daughter outside to use the bathroom and hears an argument and a gunshot in the house next door; the dogs bark and the man runs back to his house telling his family to get his bag and come to his truck; a man rushes as people with flashlights move toward them and almost hits a man and a woman walking down the street. A young man prepares a detonation device and we see barrels with a symbol indicating that they contain nuclear material. The man loads up a lot of weapons and speeds away from his house, cuts off another car his wife is driving and tells her to go back home and prepare to go to the compound for safety. People are shown in tents and makeshift camps in several scenes, and some are shown armed. A man attaches a heavy chain to the gate where many people gather outside begging for food and shelter. Huge traffic lines are visible coming out of the big city.
► Several vehicles with armed men inside drive up to the closed complex. A woman leads her children to the car and tells them not to breathe the air after the explosion; they cover themselves with blankets and the woman gets out of the car to get the family dog before speeding off. A woman presses a button in her car that indicates a “bioweapon defense mode” has been activated. People set up a perimeter with razor wire and sandbags. People are doing a drill and we see them with guns (but not live ammunition) and shooting at each other; when someone is hit, lights flash on their helmets.
► A husband and his wife are arguing over the man’s decision to send their teenage son to guard duty. A husband and his wife argue about trying to grow vegetables in the winter to support the people on their property. A man yells at his teenage daughter, telling her she can’t date a teenager. A husband and his wife argue when he tells her he stopped in Vegas on his way to meet her at the property. A young man carries a puppy and asks the parents if they can keep it; the father says “No”, but later we see him holding the puppy on his lap. A man says to another man, “People will die at this gate.” We hear reports of a nuclear explosion. People debate whether World War III is happening. A woman sees an emergency notification that reads: “Request emergency shelter.” The word “hoarders” is painted on the side of the barn engulfed in flames. People are talking about a nuclear attack by Russia that knocked out the power grid. The man talks about “the things they did to her before we took her in”, about the teenage girl they brought into their home (there is no further mention of what happened or where she was before). A voice in the background talks about “how the world broke”. A voice listening to a voice says, “Technology has become our god.” A man asks another man, “What is this deception,” when he tries to order the man to hand over his supplies and a list of his weapons and the men on his estate. The young man seems to be questioning something he’s about to do, and the man tells him, “We made an oath.” After a woman’s electric car battery dies, she complains to her husband, “Why did we buy a Tesla?” A young girl draws a picture of a large mushroom cloud and an explosion and later says, “I saw this.” A teenage girl talks about ways to heal the planet. A man talks about feeding the homeless with another man. The woman asks, “Is this a coffin or a fortress?” The teenage girl is very upset that the man died after shooting him, and the teenage girl asks if she can pray for the boy. A teenage girl says she had a heart transplant.
► The man discovers that the door to the warehouse is open and discovers that the wheat stocks have been broken into; later he says that “wood rats” got into the wheat contaminating it. Two children hold sticks and play with them as guns, pretending to shoot each other. A young man lures fishing hooks with small fish. The dog eats a piece of toast from a plate on the counter.
