(radio tuning in)
(radio host) Okay, somebody's got to explain this me.
I have no idea where the president gets the right to shut off all communication.
Now ladies and gentleman, if you’re just tuning in, a lot of stories, speculation, rumors.
Whatever you want to call it floating around.
And, the President is about to shut off all communications in this country.
And when I say communications, we’re talking phones, televisions, internet, and yes, even your radio.
I gotta tell you, this is going to drive people crazy.
It’s going to be mass insanity out there.
And, how can this happen? I just don’t understand it.
Don’t we live in America?
This just in to our newsroom.
We’re now getting reports that the President of the United States
and government officials have evacuated and gone into hiding.
At this point no one can provide an explanation to what threat led to this drastic response,
but we have learned the President intends to use the kill switch and cut off all communications starting today.
The only statement the White House has released
is to trust the President and stay in your homes.
I repeat.
Stay in your homes.

(Explosive rumbling)
*crying*
Please don’t leave me. How long will you be gone?
Hey, hey, hey. What are you doing here?
Trying to walk.
(laughing)
That’s just great.
So what do you think about everything that’s going on here, man, huh?
I mean.....are you suffering?
Because you don’t have your, your precious, precious cellphone, or your internet?
Let me quote the Bible for you.
Live by thy cellphone, die by thy cellphone.
I don’t think you got that right friend.
If you ask me,
God....God let this happen.
So that....so that we could all just.
Just....just snap out of it.
You're drunk.
I'm not done talking. It's rude to interrupt.....
when somebody's talking.
This, it's what it is man.
These times, everybody's so....
everybody's so caught up in their devices,
they forgot how to relate to one another as....as human beings.
Thanks for the lesson.
Hey, you better wake up.
Before it's too late.
Are you awake yet man? Huh?
Are you awake yet?
*birds chirping*
I gotta go Marge.
I've got to find something out. Where is everybody?
I can't, I can't stand here. I can't wait.
I don't know.
Where are the kids?
I don't know.
We’re supposed to be right here.
We’re supposed to be right here, remember they said that on the broadcast?
I gotta know something.
Well, here's what we know. We know that we're safe here Jake.
We are not safe here! We don't know anything here!
I aleady lost the children as far as I know, you can't leave me too Jake.
You just calm down and wait here.
I'm going to get to the bottom of this and I'm going to find something out.
Just wait here.
Jake! Who'll take care of me?
Can I help you?
Is this your place?
It is now.
We can share.
I don't think so.
I'm just looking for supplies.
I don't think so!
Are you going to kill me?
I think so.
I have food.
I have other things you interested in.
I have a lot of stuff put together
You should join us. We pool resources
Why should I trust you?
I mean hell, why should you trust me?
I trust you.
Hey mister, come here.
Do you have any cash? Anything?
Please? I'll do anything.
*grunts*
Alright, so here’s what you’re going to do.
Hit those three houses.
Get into the cars, the wallets are usually in there,
keys are usually in there, just leave them and get out.
And get back here as soon as possible.
Alright, sounds good.
That should do it. after that we roll on up.
Alright.
Hey, who’s there?
I caught these two trying to steal food.
We haven't eaten in days.
Great, more mouths to feed?
Please, my husband left with the government officials that morning. We haven’t seen him
He's a coward.
I don't trust them.
Come on in, we’ve got a power generator with a big house.
You guys can stay.
Look, we can't save everyone.
The more people we have, the better, dont you think?
No, I didn't sign up for this.
Everyone for themselves, right?
Hey baby.
Hey, how much?
It's thirty six dollars.
Thirty six?
I know. We need to go, ok?
Figure out how much gas we have.
Figure out how far we're going to go.
Take care of momma, and then.
Calm down. go pack, do something creative, constructive. something.
If we don’t leave in the next hour, i’m going to go by myself. I’m scared. I’m sorry
Come in.
Just wanted to make sure everything’s alright.
Thank you so much Mikey, for everything.

Alright, listen, I’m gonna go check the barn.
Yeah, you check the barn, and then I’ll go with you. But be careful Mikey, I don’t know what it is.
*voices Mikey has heard since the beginning*
*wailing*
Was that guy on a cell phone? Turn on the radio!
(radio host) Can you believe this? One big drill?
Recorded as the most expensive drill in human history.
Countless lives lost. What kind of world do we live in?
Some people still don’t know. Some are still hiding underground or something.
They think the world is about to end.
And people, I think it’s time we woke up and stopped depending on so much technology.
None of this stuff existed a hundred years ago. It’s time to change what we rely on.
Everything’s fine. It was all a big drill.
It’s over. We can all go back to normal.
Thank you for everything. This has been liberating.
I got to know my daughter.
No phones, no emails.
It’s like it was one big wakeup call.
I'm awake.
