Maybe the cap you started with was too thick?
We have time. We'll find one that fits.
"It's night, but that's not gonna last."
"I'm thirsty."
"My tongue is swollen up bad"
"Never thought our hiding place would last that long"
"Anyone out there?"
"Can anyone else hear me? Can you hear me? Anyone?"
- Hey, Dave, look at this. - Yes sir.
- Dan there's nothing.
- The bottles are broken. - There's no water in here
- Alright, let's go.
- Water?
Water.
Thank you.
Is anyone else with you?
The others? They left you here?
You rest here for awhile.
I mean, you can't just walk out of the valley, even if you weren't injured.
- I'm going to walk to the other side.
My sister's on the other side.
I just wanted to, see my sister.
She is not well.
- You can't stay here either. - I'm ok.
I have my plans.
They are always hunting. If you stay put, they will find you.
Or the well will go dry, whichever's first.
They're hunting in the south, it's safer to go north.
Keep it.
Wait.
Stay lucky.
I'm fine.
- Where is Dean at? - Hunting for some food.
It's getting worse, isn't it?
Kendal.
Remember when this was all rice paddies.
Catching all those frogs.
Think it will ever rain again?
So, you found a wreck?
Yeah, just outside the pumping fields. It's new.
Two, maybe three weeks. We should be able to find something.
Thanks.
You know I can help you.
- Antartica? - All that cold water.
That's a good spot for us.
The plane landed on the side of a green field.
Jumping lightly along, until it comes to a rest next to a low stone wall...
... built hundreds and hundreds of years ago, by the earliest explorers.
There is a stone building not far in the distance.
There's a cold stream, connecting the snow-capped mountains...
with the blue glacier below.
And if we wipe the steam from the cockpit window...
... can see penguins and winter birds...
... and elephant seals...
... covering the black beach.
"I'm scared."
"Can anyone help?"
"Anyone there on this line?"
"Someone is outside. I think he's got a knife."
"I'm so scared!"
"Can anyone help?"
- What's going on? - Someone's at the Bilder farm.
- You shouldn't go.
You're always sick. You'll be ok without me.
- It's not me I'm worried about.
Stay lucky.
... but I'm afraid.
- We have no more water. - You don't have to explain nothing.
Parasites, drinking my water.
Pick up the radio and try again.
Please let me go.
Pick up the radio and call them again or I'll let them shoot both.
- People usually show mercy. - They like to try.
People change.
There's nobody there.
There is no one left but me, please.
Ahh!!
You do not want to kill her? There is a man of God in here.
We're not gonna hurt you.
Must be thirsty. They are always thirsty.
Give her some of my water.
Come on.
It is Carson's trap! It's a trap! It's a trap!
This is a fine house. My grandfather always admired it.
Search it, then on to the next one, we are done here.
They are like rats.
You, keep tearing this farm apart. We'll take the kitchen.
Looks like she's sleeping. Someone closed her eyes.
Pray for your children. Pray for these desperate and thirsty souls.
You'd think after ten years without no rain, they would give up.
Can't be anyone left.
But we're going to hunt them...
from dry well, to dry well.
If they are alive, they are consuming my water.
And they can not consume my water, without my consent.
The distributor cap didn't fit.
I wouldn't let them follow me here.
You know that, right?
Not like you wanted anything, anyways.
We found the Cessna.
It's ours. Still the same, maybe you like to come with us.
Maybe.
You've got a good spot here, I'll grant you that.
But we have water and you don't.
That's why I'm safe here.
You're too small to be on your own.
I'm safer when I'm alone.
Ok
I'm not going to argue with you.
I mean, you seem to be doing alright.
But Dean and I, we're not like the others.
Have you tried greasing the inner flange?
And fill it with water to prime it?
I have to pump it. How in the world do I do that.
Just to not get any more.
When you were at the compound, were the Derek's pumping?
- All of them. - And the trucks came.
I've never seen them fill up so fast.
You don't use the plane. You move at night and take as much water as you can carry.
You can reach my uncle's place, in about three or four weeks.
Stop.
You know I'm dying, Kendal. Without enough water, my kidneys are done.
I'm not going anywhere without you. Move over.
I'm not gonna leave you here.
I'm gonna find it.
"This is the Birch Farm."
"This is the Birch Farm. Lan-Lan 2-3-7-1."
"Calling for Mr. Carson."
"We request assistance. This is the Birch Farm..."
"Lan. Lan. 2-3-7-1 We request your assistance..."
- The Birch Farm.
I guess that leaves us and the boy.
"This is the Birch Farm .."
- You do not have to go. - I'll gonna see what happens.
If it looks okay, maybe we should call them too.
I drink the tears of those who have gone before us...
and my spirit is crying.
We ended up here.
The well went dry.
We tried everything.
But it's been six months of...
terror and hatred.
How many have died?
With Simon gone, there is nothing for us here.
Come with us.
They can help Dean. Pa says they have medicine.
- You had a good family.
We can start again. Make a new family.
- I hear Carson has a daughter.
We can ask them to save Dean.
When his kidneys grow, he can stay with his sister Pia.
There's no way you kids are getting out of here.
We confide in one another.
We would be much better off in the valley, if we go north.
There has to be water.
- You still have faith....
That's good.
We have a days worth of water on the north side of the house.
You can have it once we're gone.
Didn't you people have a plane? - Use to.
Shot down on the pumping fields burned out there for two days straight.
I guess that's one way out.
Welcome, Mr. Carson.
Thank you for responding to our call. We are unarmed and ready.
- Good - If you'd like to look around?
Then shall we say a prayer, the mountains fall on us,
the hills cover us, if they do cover it with green trees...
what should be done if there is a drought?
I know that your smart, there just wasn't enough water, do you see?
- Yes. - Listen to me.
These are old people and they're going to suffer.
Understand? I had to do it.
You're different. - Sure.
I can tell, now...
tell me...
is there anybody else on this farm?
Huh? I don't know.
Listen, if we're gonna have a relationship based on trust...
you have to come clean.
Otherwise, what's the point?
Yeah, there's a... one more.
- One more. - Use the heat sensors.
You look like a man with brains.
Sit, daughter of mine.
I believe this will be the very last refuge.
As far as the eye can see, this valley...
there is a Carson buried under each meter.
And I am not gonna stop until it's all ours.
In this way, they suffer less, right? These others.
Think of it, an extinction of a species.
As a passenger pigeon
Like a fire-billed woodpecker.
Your world will become much better.
What could be better than that?
This one is yours, my love.
Now, was that everyone?
Yes sir.
What's wrong with the pump?
It's slow.
But okay, as usual.
- Did you get hurt? - Nope.
Good..
I know why our pump is failing.
Why?
They are draining the aqua off.
All those pumps going around the clock.
Sucking the water out from under us.
But it is our well.
The company drains all the water,
to drive all the squatter's away.
They control the whole valley.
Maybe we should call Carson.
Maybe the company camps aren't so bad.
We can't. Carson's not taking people to camps.
He is the one who has been doing all the killing.
- It's not Christmas yet. - Says who?
That's good.
We should go back inside.
They will be hunting soon.
Wait.
- I want to visit her grave. - Come on.
I need to say goodbye.
I miss her.
You were just crazy enough for her to like you.
Not nearly as crazy as her sister, Norma.
Do you think she keeps us here?
- Her grave? - Of course not.
- Let's go back in. - Listen.
When the time comes...
I want you to burn my body, don't bury it, not like this.
Nothing ties you to this house. Understand?
So burn my body and go to my uncle's place.
It's what Pia would want.
Ok, I promise.
Pia will get us both out of here before you die.
Come on.
I'll be right back.
Hello to the house.
Look whoever killed anyone.
Whoever left the lifeless body to the wind and the vultures...
without the dignity of a burial,
Come forward. Confess thy sins, little ones.
We bring mercy.
Who so ever wants to live another hour.
Who so ever wants to see another day. Come forward.
Step into the light.
- I did what I could do. - Search it, then gas it.
Jarek, above us. Go, go, go.
Go up the stairs, hurry.
The sun has been pounding this side of the building all day ..
gas it, and then we'll move on.
Don't ... don't put it there. Put it on the siding.
There's no sense in destroying the beauty of the craftsmanship.
Respect the carpenter.
Let's move on. The next property is north-northeast.
The King trail.
I know. I'm gonna get you water.
- Come on, keep going.
Alby?
Are you okay?
I watch them in the shadows, they're waiting for me to make a mistake.
But, I won't make a mistake.
Everyone makes mistakes.
Wait until dark, then leave.
You're not helping me like this.
Will you show me where you hide, in case I need to find you?
They always come looking for me, after you have been here.
I don't need you to come back.
But we're gonna get out of here. You, me and Dean.
I'm going to come for you, and we are going to leave this place.
I promise.
A promise doesn't mean a thing.
- What is it? - Some bums are headed here.
- How do they look? - They're in bad shape.
They will see that Carson has been here, and they'll go back.
We just wait it out inside here.
And if they die on our doorstep?
We've got a good source of water. And you said that the pump is in good shape.
Why not help them?
What if it's another one of Carson's trap?
We've got plenty of water, right?
Right.
We have the water and I'll give them that.
Just in case. Not everyone is as caring as you.
Long gone.
We're not gonna make it to another farm.
We learn to survive and continue to do so.
Oh, come on, there's a way out of here.
We got another farm back there.
Not all the wells in this valley can't be dry.
Don't kill me. Please.. please don't kill us.
- We have no guns, only knives. - We mean you no harm.
Just very thirsty.
- Why did Carson send you? - That liar.
To hell with Carson.
We're just thirsty.
Carson was on our farm some time back. Folks tried to help him.
We were the only ones that survived.
It was a long dry spell.
But we had a good store of water but it ran into the ground.
We put up for another week before moving on.
Every well we encountered in this valley been dry.
Are you done?
Here's what you're gonna do. You're gonna walk in front of me to that tower over there.
I'm gonna pass you my bottle, when it's empty you're gone.
You won't look back, won't come back.
- So you've been visited too? - Keep moving.
Those notices they're posting, instructions.
They're all lies. It's a trap.
Thank you... from the bottom of our hearts.
We wouldn't have made it to another well.
How many of you are there?
I'm on my own.
Come with us then. Safety in numbers.
We owe you. We'll try to get to the mountains.
You gotta gun, increases all of our chances.
- I can not. - Why not?
It's kinda lonesome here.
Whoever your waiting for, they ain't coming back.
You guys can start back on your own.
Thank you. From all of us, thank you.
They were in trouble?
Thirsty people in the end, Carson already killed every one on their farm.
We're done. Aren't we?
- We are doing fine. - No
You have been giving me your water for a week. So what is it?
What is it?
The pump is dry.
- How long? - Two days.
How long can we survive on the water we have?
A week... maybe.
Why wouldn't you tell me?
Because I thought we would be gone already.
I need to try the wreck outside the pumping compound gate...
for the missing distributor cap. We've tried so many.
- It's too dangerous. - There's no where else to try, at least we'll know.
Just don't know how to get close to the gates, without them spotting me.
Do they still have their waste oil by the fence?
Yes.
I know how you can get close.
What's the one thing they fear in a world without water?
What's going on?
We did it.
- You did it. - Shut up.
I'll carry you the whole way if I have to.
I got it all worked out. We can't leave just yet, we'll be too slow in open ground.
But when it gets dark, we will.
I'll have the plane prepared by daylight. You, me and Alby, we're getting out of here.
Kendal...
The Azores.
- Beautiful, but we do not have time. - One more story.
Later, I promise.
Here, I'll get water, but drink this.
You can drink all you want.
You hid it, so we had to wait until you lead us to it.
I'm sorry for the way it happened.
- Let's get this over with? - Not enough water for her.
You're right.
They're coming, run!
Let's go.
Be quiet...
And no matter what, don't you ever try to come back.
Come back? Dean?
- Well, hello there. - We heard shots.
- Where are the others? - Just me now.
The others are dead.
Our well just went dry and we were fighting for the remaining water.
Bone dry?
And you killed the others yourself?
Confess son, it will take the pain away.
I killed them.
You are a fighter, I like that.
You know I knew, that you were here all this time?
I mean, not you specifically... ... but someone.
Birds.
Birds go where the water is... so.
You afflicted with something? The boy looks ill.
I remember this house.
Look at this door frame, it is beautiful and very sturdy.
- It is a good one. - I built it.
With Mr. Miller.
With Mr. Miller, do not say? Well, take my hat off to both.
Mr. Miller left the land to me.
But not the water.
There was a time when man owned the land, he controlled the water.
There's a difference, water it is mine, so the land is mine.
Empty.
Then go check the barn.
Get down.
Take it.
Put the gun down.
He's wounded, daddy.
It's a shame.
A shame.
Dad?
Look.
No water on it.
This land never cared?
Carson, this land's been dry since before you were born.
I know.
It's not your fault the company no longer takes any refugees.
It's not your fault the rain won't fall.
- Sometimes I wonder... - I just wonder...
- that maybe I could have saved a few hostages.
- This mercy.
The vagrants only suffer.
How is it that, if I didn't make it, someone else will.
I didn't want this for you.
I know.
Almost done. Let's move on to the next farm.
- Yes
- Please mark this as ours.
Yes, mark it, let's go.
Yes, of course. You two go on your way.
Alby, it fits!
Alby?
Come on, I've got the cap in the plane, let's go.
No.
Guess what.
Alby hide.
I'm hurt.
God damn it.
I must say. I am pleased... ... finally...
a hold-out, has come to me cowering from in a hidey-hole...
in the desert.
Take a look Brooke. Look at her.
Yes, father.
God. You must be the very last one.
The wells are all dry, there's no one else.
My legacy is complete.
The valley is all yours, Brooke.
- Daddy? - Come On.
You're strong, hmm?
Your future's secure.
This is Carson land.
Always was, always will be. And the rain...
... and the generations to come yet.
I must apologize.
I would love to leave you in this world...
..but my daughter...
can't stand competition.
Just me now.
See? Just you and me.
Where's Dean?
He's going to stay behind.
