10 Cloverfield Lane

Michelle, please don't hang up.

Just talk to me, okay? I can't believe you just left.

Michelle.

Come back.

Please say something.

Michelle, talk to me.

Look, we had an argument. Couples fight.

That is no reason to just leave everything behind.

Running away isn't gonna help it any. Michelle, please...

More details on that.

Elsewhere today, power has still not been restored

to many cities on the southern seaboard

in the wake of this afternoon's widespread blackout.

While there had been some inclement weather in the region,

the problem seems linked to what authorities are calling

a catastrophic power surge that has crippled traffic in the area.

No.

No!

Damn.

Okay. Okay, please.

Please.

Please don't hurt me.

Please.

Just let me go, okay? I won't tell anybody.

I promise, okay? Please just let me go. Please.

You need fluids. You were in shock.

What are you going to do to me?

I'm going to keep you alive.

Work on getting handy with these.

My boyfriend was expecting me.

He'll send the cops looking.

I'm sorry.

But no one is looking for you.

You've got some fight in you.

I can respect that.

But don't even think about trying that again.

You're lucky to be here at all.

And my generosity only extends so far.

Eggs.

Toradol to help with your pain.

Please.

Please, just let me go. Please.

There is nowhere to go, Michelle.

I looked through your wallet.

Given as how I saved your life, I think that's acceptable.

You're lucky to be here at all.

What do you mean?

I found you, and I saved your life by bringing you here.

I don't understand. l...

There's been an attack.

What?

An attack. A big one.

I'm not sure yet if it's chemical or nuclear,

but down here, we're safe.

-And where are we exactly? -Underneath my farmhouse.

Forty miles outside of Lake Charles.

I was driving north of here.

You were in an accident.

You were turned over on the side of the road.

I was driving by and I saw...

I saved your life, Michelle.

I couldn't just leave you there.

Okay.

Well,

thank you so much

for saving my life.

I guess I should go to a hospital now.

You can't leave.

An attack means fallout.

Which contaminates the air above ground.

That's how it works.

How long do we have to wait until it's safe?

Depends on the proximity of the closest blast.

One year, maybe two.

And that's if we're talking about weapons that we know of.

Russians are developing some nasty stuff.

And if the Martians finally figured out a way to get here,

their weapons will make the Russkies' look like sticks and stones.

Luckily,

I've prepared for this.

Right.

Well, I'll need to use your phone then

to call my family and tell them that I'm safe here

and make sure they're okay.

Michelle, they're not okay.

How do you know that?

Everyone outside of here is dead.

But what about you? Don't you have a family?

Who's that?

Excuse me.

What did you do?

You know what, Michelle? I'm gonna tell you what I told him.

You need to eat, you need to sleep,

and you need to start showing me a little bit of appreciation.

My name is Howard, by the way.

Oh, God! Shit.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry about that.

I didn't mean to scare you.

Are you...

Here. You hungry?

So, how are you doing? You okay?

-What is this? -It's a bunker.

Your room's a little bit of a fixer-upper, but at least you got a door.

A scary door, but you still got a door.

How long have you been down here?

Couple of days, I think.

You know, it's actually kind of hard to tell

with no windows or sunlight or anything.

I mean, how do we get out of here?

He didn't tell you?

About...

Getting out of here is the last thing you want to do.

Because the air up there,

it's contaminated.

I see you've met Emmett.

What happened to him?

He did that to himself.

And his stumbling around isn't helping anything.

What you heard earlier,

was him knocking over a shelf with a whole week's worth of food,

which he's sorry for, correct?

Totally.

Let's go. Bathroom time.

This is the common area.

Good for R & R.

As you can see, I've planned for a long stay.

The aquaponics system cleans the air and keeps it fresh.

This is the living room. Help yourself to any reading.

If you like to watch films, I have some on DVD and VHS cassette.

Just make sure you put them back in their sleeve when they're done.

The kitchen's fully functional.

Has an electric stove, refrigerator, freezer, silverware.

And that table's a family heirloom, which means watch your glasses.

Always use coasters and placemats.

Keep your hands to yourself!

Understand?

No touching.

Take a seat.

This way.

This is my private space.

Off-limits, unless I give express permission.

Go ahead.

-I don't need to. -You will, though.

And I've got to pace these things out, so please.

I need privacy.

You're welcome to close the curtain.

I can't with you standing there.

And I can't trust you not to burn this place down.

This is for my own safety.

I'm not some pervert! Just go.

Don't flush unless you've gone!

We can't afford wasted flushes.

Take a seat. Are you hungry?

Those are Megan's.

She never went anywhere without two or three of those things.

Who's Megan?

Megan's not with us any more.

Don't worry. Just the generator.

Maybe it's a car outside.

That's not possible.

I heard one earlier. Above my room.

If you had heard a car, the driver would be long dead by now.

Well, shouldn't we at least try

to call the police or someone to find out what actually happened?

There's no one left to call.

See that? Nothing's coming through.

You think I sound crazy.

I mean, it's amazing. You people...

You wear helmets when you ride your bikes.

You have seat belts in your cars.

You have alarm systems to protect your homes.

But what do you do when those alarms go off?

"Crazy" is building your ark after the flood has already come!

I think maybe it's time you met Frank and Mildred.

Closest I could get to an airlock.

See?

What happened to them?

They weren't as lucky as you.

It's the air, Michelle.

That's what happens when you get exposed.

I keep this door sealed at all times.

No one comes in or out.

Met Frank and Mildred?

It's funny, right?

The whole world ends

and the thing he's most upset about is a pair of dead pigs?

You in need of some reading material?

I took all the quizzes. Sorry.

But I did learn how to do a French braid, so,

you know, if you want me to do that for you, just let me know.

What do you know about him?

He was in the Navy, I know that.

I guess he did some stuff with satellites.

What kind of stuff?

Satellite stuff.

Well, what brought him out here?

I'm not sure.

He bought this property a while back.

But I never paid much attention
