Taglines: How far would you go to survive? The end is here.
Quotes:
Jackal: This ain't your lucky day, buddy.
Dakota: They're back.::Darwin: I hope they found something interesting.::Dakota: They did.
[first lines]::Darwin: [voiceover] The end. The end of life as we know it. We didn't see it coming, that's for sure. I mean, who plans for an apocalypse? But you know the really funny thing? It wasn't something big and horrible that did us in. It wasn't nuclear war or a deadly virus or a comet crashing into the planet. It wasn't over-population or global warming. I wish it was. You know, something... lofty and magnificent. Something worthy of exterminating most of the human race. No. In the end it was none of those things. We simply ran out of gas.
Ford: What's the point of being a carnivore if all we can eat is rabbit food?
Darwin: [voiceover] In the year 2012, the gasoline ran out. You could almost hear the giant sucking sound as the last drop of crude was pumped from the Earth. Within a year the reserves were gone too. We were supposed to have 20 years of gas left. That's what the experts said and... they were wrong. Detroit was still churning out gas guzzlers even as the wells went dry. You'd have thought we could survive without gas. But the end of gasoline meant the end of electricity, nuclear power. There's coal, but you still need trucks to deliver the fuel. No electricity means no refrigerators, and that means spoiled food. In days the grocery stores were picked clean, within weeks there was looting, rioting, and chaos. The government had a plan, but it was too busy trying to stop the violence. When they finally declared martial law, it was already too late. Civilization collapsed into anarchy. The smart ones moved south, until they realized that millions of other smart people had the same smart idea. All those people in one place fighting for the same shelter and food, it was a bloodbath. Within three years more than two-thirds of the world's population had starved to death, frozen to death, or slaughtered each other. The American dream became the American nightmare.
Viper: So what's your story?::Neon: Me?::Viper: Yeah. What are you doing here in Philadelphia?::Neon: My um... my boyfriend and I were on our way to Florida, and we heard there was shelter and food here.::Viper: You were misinformed.
Darwin: You're no different than anybody else.::Viper: Oh is that right?::Darwin: Yeah.::Viper: You know, because I've never seen you haul shit. And I've never seen you get your fucking hands dirty.::Dakota: Viper, we all know that he is very busy.::Viper: Yeah, fucking you.
Ford: [after Neon tries to talk to Nova] Don't bother. She's retarded.::[Dakota throws a book at Ford's head]::Ford: Ow! You bitch! That hurt! Jesus.::Dakota: Nova is not retarded. She just doesn't speak to anyone.::Ford: That's retarded.::[Dakota picks up another book]
Neon: I didn't tell you guys everything.::Ford: Well, tell us now.::Neon: Look, the real reason that my boyfriend and I are here is we were running.::Ford: From what?::Neon: From them. They're Rovers.::Ford: What's a Rover?::Neon: They're cannibals. They eat people for food.::Ford: What are you talking about?::Neon: They killed my family. They killed my friends. They... they ate them.
Max: Five against fourteen. That's not good.::Ford: No shit, Sherlock!

At her request, Roy tells her an elaborate story about six men of widely varied backgrounds who are on a quest to kill a corrupt provincial governor. Between chapters of the story, Roy inveigles Alexandria to scout the hospital's pharmacy for morphine. As Roy's fantastic tale nears its end, Death seems close at hand.

I'm sorry that your house got burned.
[repeated line]::Luigi: Kaboom.
Roy Walker: Next was the English naturalist: Charles Darwin. He loved all living things. Creatures, plants... everything alive.
Doctor: [suspicious Alexandria is not translating correctly for her mother] Alexandria, did she just ask me a question?::Alexandria: No it's just how we talk.
Alexandria: [crying as Roy finishes the story] Why are you making everyone die?::Roy Walker: Because... everything dies
Alexandria: This Odious bad man?::Roy Walker: Oh yeah.
Luigi: [reading from Evelyn's locket] My dearest daughter, never marry for money, fame, power or security. Always follow your heart. Your ever loving father...::Blue Bandit: It says all that on that little locket?::Luigi: Si.
Roy Walker: That story was just a trick to get you to do something for me.

Plot: Nicolas Soriano Adriano III and Vanessa Yumol are Manila's couple of the century. Nick comes from a prominent family and Vanessa is a Manila socialite who loves the arts, and they are engaged to be married. Tragedy strikes when the chopper Nick is in crashes and burns in the jungles of Palawan. Authorities find what remains of the chopper and burnt bodies and declares that there are no survivors. Unbeknownst to all who know him, Nick has survived the crash and is found by a family of indigenous people who takes him in and takes care of him. When his wounds are healed, they lead him to the nearest dirt road where he catches a bus ride to the rural city of Puerto Princesa. There he meets Dr. Mallari, a marine biologist, when he helps Dr. Mallari recover his bag from a thief. Dr. Mallari takes Nick to his home and introduces him as Darwin Salvador to his older sister the unmarried Tita Agnes and daughter the artist Diosa. Nick a.k.a. Darwin settles in a little hut he builds near the beach. Dr. Mallari and Tita Agnes immediately take to Darwin, but Diosa clearly dislikes him and shows it in their encounters until one day she tells him why - she doesn't believe the stories he tells her father and she doesn't like it that he lies to her father. During dinner, Nick/Darwin apologizes to the family and tells them he is leaving. He also reveals to them that he made up his name (Darwin was the name of a store in Puerto Princesa, and Salvador or savior was what Dr. Mallari called him when he helped him with the thief) and his background because he has no idea who he is or what happened to him. Later in his hut as he is getting ready to leave, Diosa goes to him and tells him that they have decided not to let him leave until he regains his memory. So Darwin stays and he and Diosa grow close. While all this is happening, Diosa and Vanessa also cross paths through Diosa's manager Eli. Vanessa happens to be Eli's friend and key client who has been buying Diosa's collection of paintings. Eli and Vanessa visit Diosa while Darwin is incidentally away with Tita Agnes. When he comes back, Diosa shows him pictures of her new friend Vanessa but Darwin doesn't recognize her. Later in the night Diosa goes to Darwin's hut and they confess their feelings for each other. They become lovers and later Diosa tells her father that they are getting married. Dr. Mallari is opposed at first because they don't know for sure if Darwin isn't already married with kids, but he gives in when Diosa reveals that she is pregnant. Due to some circumstances, Eli and Vanessa miss the wedding, but Diosa asks Vanessa to be the godmother of her baby. Months later, Diosa feels the first pains of labor and Darwin rushes her to the nearest hospital. Unfortunately the doctor is in another town and Darwin leaves to get him. On their way back, their bus loses its brakes and crashes. Darwin comes to in a hospital and suddenly remembers the helicopter crash and his real name. At the same night, Diosa gives birth to Darwin Junior. Days later Diosa and her father fight about Nick whose miraculous reappearance has made the papers. Diosa wants to make herself known to Nick, but Dr. Mallari doesn't want her disrupting other people's lives and getting hurt because Nick doesn't remember anything about them. During the argument Dr. Mallari has a heart attack and dies. Diosa decides to move to Manila and she attends Nick and Vanessa's wedding. At the wedding, Nick doesn't recognize her so she goes home to Tita Agnes and Darwin Jr. Tita Agnes tells her to forget Nick/Darwin and move on. Diosa tries to keep her distance but she becomes Vanessa's best friend and Vanessa asks her to be the godmother of their first baby. Nick' mother also commissions Diosa to paint their portraits so she begins to have moments alone with Nick while he poses for his portrait. One day Vanessa accidentally slips on the escalator in a mall and loses the baby. She and Nick start to grow apart because they can't have a baby anymore. During one their painting sessions, Nick makes a move on Diosa and brings her to his secret vacation house in Tagaytay. He confesses to Diosa that he can no longer fulfill his dream of being a father with Vanessa and that he regrets being tied to her. He tells Diosa that he chooses her and they start an affair. Vanessa finds out about their affair from Diosa's jealous neighbor Ronnie (he likes Diosa) who knows about the affair. Vanessa follows them to the secret house and confronts them. After that incident, Diosa and her family move back to Puerto Princesa and Nick leaves Vanessa. Nick goes to Diosa in Puerto Princesa on Darwin Jr's birthday. That night he tells her that no matter what Vanessa tries to do he will never forget her (Diosa) and they share an emotional moment. The next morning they are awakened by Tita Agnes and Eli's frantic knocking. Vanessa has followed Nick and has taken Darwin Jr at gunpoint by the beach. To appease her, Nick tells her that he will go with Vanessa if she lets Darwin Jr. go. Vanessa lowers the gun and goes to Nick's arms and Diosa grabs her son. Later, as Diosa sits with her son on the porch, Tita Agnes comes over with Eli who says goodbye to Diosa. Then Nick appears with Vanessa behind him, also to say goodbye. Diosa gives Darwin Jr. to Tita Agnes and Nick takes the boy and hugs him. Vanessa is stricken with guilt and tells Diosa that she didn't mean to endanger her son. Vanessa is in tears and asks for forgiveness and says she forgives Diosa too. At this, Diosa becomes enraged and slaps her. All her pent-up emotions come out and she tells Vanessa that she has nothing to ask forgiveness for. In fact, it is Vanessa who still owes her. Diosa tells Vanessa that had she killed Darwin Jr, she would have killed Nick's son. Nick and Vanessa are surprised to hear this. Diosa grabs Vanessa and leads her up the stairs. Nick follows the two women. Diosa lets go of Vanessa and digs for something in a wooden chest. She hands a wedding album to Vanessa and a set of pictures to Nick. She's already crying and the whole story spills out. Nick loved Vanessa first as Nick, but he married Diosa first as Darwin. She has tried her best to stay away and let Nick/Darwin be happy, but it has been Vanessa and Nick who kept close. It was also Nick who first confessed his feelings for Diosa. Amidst tears Diosa tells Nick/Darwin that, "You were mine first (Una ka naging akin)." In the next scene, Vanessa and Nick are getting on the chopper and Diosa walks away with Darwin Jr. in her arms. Diosa and Darwin Jr. look on as the chopper flies away. Then a voice behind her calls her name. She turns and it's Nick/Darwin. She calls him Nick and Nick says it doesn't matter whether he's Nick or Darwin, but he loves her. The three of them hug and kiss.

Darwin is the capital of the
Northern Territory, in the “top end” of
Australia.
Traditionally the home of the
Larrakia People, Darwin was settled by
Europeans in
1869. The city’s isolation has meant that its population has always been low, which is just the way its laid-back residents like it.
On Thursdays and
Sundays, locals and visitors head to the
Mindil Beach Markets to shop, dance and enjoy foods from all over the world. At sunset, head down to the beach as the sun dips into the
Arafura Sea, then catch a movie under the stars at the
Deck Chair Cinema.
Learn about the city’s military history, at the
Defense of Darwin
Experience and the
Australian Aviation Heritage Centre. At the Darwin
Museum and
Art Gallery, discover the region’s local cultures and unique natural environment.
To experience the Northern Territory’s most fearsome residents, pay a visit to Crocodylus
Park and Crocosaurus
Cove, home to some of the largest captive saltwater crocodiles on the planet.
There are over 20 national parks in the Darwin region, including popular
Litchfield National Park. Just an hour and a half from Darwin,
Litchfield is set around a sandstone plateau, crisscrossed by deep, narrow gorges filled with monsoon forests, waterfalls and croc-free swimming holes.
Kakadu National Park is a three-hour drive from Darwin.
Half the size of
Switzerland and home to one-third of
Australia’s bird species and some of the world’s oldest rock art, Kakadu is more than a national park, it’s a national treasure.

Darwin, the tropical capital city of Australia's Northern Territory
videos
Darwin, a small yet cosmopolitan city, is the tropical capital city of the
Northern Territory.
People from more than 50 nations make up its population of
110,
000. It is located on the Northern Territory coast, with the
Timor Sea to the west, and the
Arafura Sea to the north in
Indonesian waters.
Darwin has a relaxed lifestyle and unique multiculturalism, where people from over 50 different cultures live and work side by side. The regular Asian-style markets form an intrinsic part of the everyday Darwin landscape, for local residents see food, music, language, and culture from just about every
Asian nation, alongside "crocodile hunters", local
Aboriginal artists, musicians of every genre, sports fishing operators, sunset sails, and families with children playing on the beach.
Darwin's unique cosmopolitan makeup has been recognised as an "multicultural icon of national significance" by the
Australian National Trust.
Darwin was first named in 1839 by
John Lort Stokes during the third voyage of the
Beagle. It was named after his former shipmate and famous naturalist
Charles Darwin. Darwin's development was accelerated by the discovery of gold at
Pine Creek, about
200 km south of the city in
1871.
After the gold rush Darwin's growth slowed mainly due to the harsh, tropical climate, distance and poor communications with other
Australian cities.
The Second World War put Darwin back on the map when the town became an important base for
Allied action against the
Japanese in the
Pacific. The road south to the railhead at
Alice Springs was surfaced, putting the city in direct contact with the rest of the country.
Modern Darwin is one of
Australia's most cosmopolitan cities, more open to
Asia than perhaps any other
Australian city
. It plays an important role as the door to Australia's northern region.
Natural wonders such as Kakadu,
Katherine Gorge, and
Litchfield are all within driving distance from the city and still contain near pre-colonial populations of crocodiles, goannas, snakes and wallabies.
Today Darwin is a fast growing regional centre that has unique history, culture and adventure.
Darwin's tropical climate has two major seasons: the 'dry', from about May to October, and the 'wet', from November to April. There is also the 'build up', the time from the end of the dry, leading into the wet when the humidity rises, but the rain doesn't fall. The arrival of the wet is always a welcome break from the buildup.
Darwin is also the only Australian capital city to have come under substantial attack during a war. On
19 February 1942, Japanese planes made two major air raids on Darwin from the aircraft carrier fleet that had attacked
Pearl Harbor less than 3 months earlier. These were the first of 64 air attacks sustained by the city during
World War II, the last being on
12 November 1943.

Darwin is a small yet cosmopolitan city.
People from more than 50 nations make up its population of
110,
000. It is on the
Timor Sea (a branch of the
Indian Ocean) in north-central
Australia. Darwin is the tropical capital city of the
Northern Territory.
Darwin has a relaxed lifestyle and unique multiculturalism, where people from over 50 different cultures live and work side by side. The regular Asian-style markets that form an intrinsic part of the everyday Darwin landscape for local residents see food, music, language, and culture from just about every
Asian nation, alongside "crocodile hunters", local
Aboriginal artists, musicians of every genre, sports fishing operators, sunset sails, and families with children playing on the beach.
Darwin's unique cosmopolitan makeup has been recognised as an "multicultural icon of national significance" by the
Australian National Trust.
Darwin's tropical climate has two major seasons, the 'dry', from about May to October, and the 'wet', from November to April.
Major cyclones have occurred approximately once every three decades. Much of the city was destroyed by
Cyclone Tracy in
1974.
