28 Days Later... Page #2

This is my daughter Hannah.

Come on, sweetheart. Say hello.

Come on.

So...

This is great. Just great.

Calls for a celebration, I'd say.

Why don't you all sit down and...

Hannah, what have we got to offer?

We've got Mum's creme de menthe.

Great. Creme de menthe.

Oh, yeah. Look, sit, please.

Get comfortable.

- Where are the bloody glasses?

- Middle cupboard.

Nah, the good ones. It's a celebration.

Top cupboard.

So this is your place?

It's nice.

There.

I know it isn't much but, well, cheers.

Cheers.

You OK in there, Jim?

Yeah.

Sorry we couldn't spare the water.

Same with the toilet. The flush doesn't work.

You'll have to use the bucket.

Have to empty it each morning.

Just chuck it over the balcony.

No mod cons here.

It's fine.

Listen, it's late. We're gonna turn in.

We have a spare room.

In there.

Are you and Selena...?

No. No, no, no.

Um...

I'll take the living room. It's fine.

Right.

No, I mean, yeah.

So, um...

- Goodnight, then.

- Yeah. Goodnight, Frank.

Very spruce.

- Very shredded.

- Yeah.

- So what do you make of them?

- Well, they're desperate.

Probably need us more than we need them.

I think they're good people.

- Good people?

- Yeah.

You should be more concerned about

whether they're gonna slow you down.

- Because if they slowed you down...

- I'd leave them behind.

- In a heartbeat.

- Yeah.

I wouldn't.

Then you're gonna wind up

getting yourself killed.

I'm gonna get some sleep.

Selena...

You think I don't get it, but I do get it.

And I know I'd be dead already

if I hadn't met you.

Sure.

No, look...

I mean, thank you.

And I mean, sure.

Goodnight, Jim.

Goodnight.

We lost water pressure three weeks ago.

I thought we'd be OK with the water

from the other flats. Cisterns and tanks.

But it vanishes so quick

you wouldn't believe.

You drink it,

it evaporates,

turns stagnant.

They're all empty.

Hasn't rained in ten days.

You can set up a plastic sheet

to catch dew and condensation.

Saw it on TV once, but I can't make it work.

You'd never think it.

Needing rain so badly.

Not in f***ing England!

Jim, we're not going to be able to stay here.

- There's been no broadcasts for weeks.

- Just listen.

Salvation is here.

The answer to Infection is here.

if you can hear this, you're not alone.

There are others like you.

There are other survivors.

We are soldiers and we are armed.

Oh, my God. Soldiers.

- Quiet. There's more.

- Our location is the 42nd blockade, M602,

- You must find us. Salvation is...

- Now it just repeats.

- It's a recording?

- Yeah, it's a recording.

But this is where it's telling us to go.

Just there.

The way things are, we might need

two or three days to get up there.

"We"?

Sound carries in this flat. Me and Hannah

do need you more than you need us.

- Look, I didn't...

- No, it's OK. It's the truth.

I can't leave the block if it's the two of us.

Something might happen to me.

Hannah'd be alone. I couldn't risk it.

But with other people...

If it's a recording,

the soldiers who made it could be dead.

- It's possible.

- That stuff about the answer to Infection...

There is no answer!

It's already done all the damage it can!

- Maybe they have a cure.

- Maybe they've got nothing.

- The only way to find out is to reach them.

- We could die trying, Frank!

Or die here.

And anyway, it isn't true what Dad said.

You need us just the same as we need you.

We need each other.

And we'll never be safe in the cities.

The soldiers could keep us safe.

So we have to try and get there.

Get there how?

Just so you know,

I don't take cheques or credit cards.

- What do you think?

- It's the most direct route.

Then we should take the indirect route.

The one in daylight and not underground.

Let's just get it done.

No, no.

No. See, this is a really sh*t idea.

You know why?

Because it's obviously a sh*t idea.

So we're gonna drive into the tunnel

full of f***ing smashed cars...

It's really f***ing obviously a sh*t idea!

Hold on!

Dad!

F***!

The world's worst place to get a flat.

Agreed. I think we'd better do this quick.

I've got the wheel. You're on the jack.

Do you hear that?

Hey, hey, do you hear that?

Hear what?

Right, I've done it.

Dad?

- Jesus Christ!

-

F***ing rats!

They're running from the Infected.

Move it!

Forget the jack, Hannah.

There's no time. Just lift, everyone.

Grab hold! One, two, three, lift!

Lift, lift!

- Don't look at them! Don't look!

- I can see them! They're coming!

Come on, Hannah!

Almost.

- Get the tyre on, Hannah!

- I'm trying.

Three, two, one,

drop it!

- Get in the car!

- Come on!

- Frank, drive!

- Move it, Frank!

Whoo!

Goodbye, you f***ers!

Frank, stop the cab.

Let's shop.

You...

You...

You...

Anybody seen any buns?

Hmm. Irradiated.

Don't take anything

that needs to be cooked, OK?

I think you can eat that raw.

Decaffeinated coffee...

Put that back.

Can't just take any crap.

If I never see another chocolate bar again,

it'll be too soon.

Not counting Terry's Chocolate Orange!

Now, single malt,

Warm but not aggressive.

- Peaty aftertaste.

Takes out the fire but leaves in the warmth.

Either we do this now or we're walking.

Not you.

- Stay close, Jim.

- What?

You heard.

Where are you going?

We've got enough food, Jim.

We don't have any cheeseburgers.

Like going on holidays

with your aunt!

Oh, Jesus.

Hello?

I hate you!

Find anything?

- Find anything, Jim?

- No! Let's get outta here.

OK, we're done here.

OK, Hannah.

Easy. Brake!

Brake, brake!

Out.

Mmmm! Oh my God!

I can, like, taste the vitamin C.

Mmmm, the raisins are so moist.

What did you say?

The raisins. They're so moist.

Look over here.

Like a family.

Do you think they're infected?

No.

They're doing just fine.

Come on. Let's eat!

Know what I was thinking?

That you'll never hear

another piece of original music again.

You'll never read a book

that hasn't already been written,

or see a film that hasn't already been shot.

Um.... that's what you were thinking.

No.

I was thinking I was wrong.

About what?

All the death.

All this sh*t.

It doesn't really mean anything

to Frank and Hannah because...

Well, she's got her dad

and he's got his daughter. So...

Cheeky monkey!

I was wrong when I said

staying alive is as good as it gets.

See, that's what I was thinking.

Was it?

Mm. You stole my thought.

Sorry.

That's OK.

You can keep it.

It's getting late.

We'd better stay here for the night.

I can't sleep.

Me neither.

Doesn't feel safe, does it?

Outside like this.

I think we're safe enough.

Selena didn't seem to have any trouble.

Yeah, I noticed that.

Hey, Selena...

What? What is it?

How'd you get to sleep?

Bloody hell. Must've needed

a hell of a prescription for that lot.

I didn't need a prescription.

I qualified as a chemist.

Oh, great. Valium.

Not only will we be able to get to sleep

but if we're attacked in the middle

of the night, we won't even care.
