Seems to be something going on.

I can not talk

with others.

No one even listens anymore

-OK...

-Mark!

More no one. Nobody will

more with me that story.

-They're probably avoiding

Look, I'm actually

kind of busy, Enid!

-You fool me Where would you go

at nine in the morning?

-Well, it's not...

Oh, sh*t.

Look, before you say

anything ,this isn't my fault.

-It never is, is it, Mark? What

are you gonna say this time?

"I'm sorry, I'm honest?"

We both wanted to show, but my

husband is a really great dad...

- There's been a power cut...

Alright? My alarm hasn't gone off.

Come on. Even you can't blame me for that.

-Robert, I'm talking to daddy.

Who was that?

- No one. Look, please, can you

just stall them or

something for me?

Please, I'll be there in...

F***!

-You have to say that a

bit louder so our son can hear.

Look, Mark...

Mark? Are you still there?

-Yeah. Someone's...

to my apartment and I can't get out.

-Please remain calm.

The situation is under control.

-What situation?

-I'm not being funny, but don't

you think I already tried it?

-Look, I've really got to get out.

-We all do, mate.

-Yes, I know.

But this is really important.

-So you're saying you're

more important than this?

-No?

-Did you say something

I didn't understand?

So, so you're saying I'm stupid.

- No, no, I'm not saying...

-I'm just f***ing with you man.

I'm Sergei.

-Mark.

-Yeah.

So those people outside

in the orange suits...

- They the Hazmat suits.

-They're what?

-As in hazardous materials.

-It's probably just a precaution.

I'm Sally from next door.

-Sh*t!

-They must have put

up a signal jammer.

Well, they wouldn't want

anybody contradicting

the official story, would they?

-Who are they?

-Don't know, man.

-Now, Who'd you think?

Our government

or at least the unelected

corporations who control it.

There's been chat online for months.

If you knew where to look...

-So you knew about this, then

-If he did, how come he's stuck

in here with the rest of us?

Ignore the man; he's full of it...

-Look, if we all just sit tight,

I'm sure everything will be fine.

-What?

-Keep calm and carry on,

yeah, great plan, Sal.

Stupid f***ing...

-Aidan... It's alright.

-Here.

-Thanks.

- Anytime.

-Look, Everyone's doors, windows...

-Sealed shut.

-I thought it was just us.

- Until someone smashed our wall down.

-It's called strength in numbers!

You know, in case it kicks off.

-I'm going to check the

reception in your place.

-Don't touch

my f***ing stuff!

-Please remain calm.

The situation is under control.

-Look I do not know if you can hear this,

but look, we...we have to leave.

Can somebody just tell

us what's going on!

-Please remain calm.

The situation is under control.

-What?

-Are you an artist?

-No. Yes.

it's debatable.

-Did you sell much?

-I don't think I sold any of them.

- Well, it's not about the money. is it?

-Isn't it?

-You know...

You've been so brave,

You get to choose.

-I want the rabbit.

No, give me the lion.

-Much more macho.

-Sergei's offering bottled water.

If you want some

-No thank you.

-Thanks.

So, have you...

have you lived here long?

What?

-You don't really notice

your neighbors, do you?

-Although you're someday you

can't help but notice.

-What?

-Enid, stay calm!

We're coming!

She slipped my mind.

- Of course she did.

-Please remain calm.

The situation is under control.

A medical team will

be with you shortly.

-That part's new.

It would be a lot easier to remain calm

if someone told us

what is going on.

Why do we need a medical team?

-Please remain calm.

The situation is under control.

A medical team will be with you shortly.

-We've through.

-Enid?

Come on, I need some help here.

-She's alive?

We did what we could.

Someone had a party?

-Enid.

Enid Enid. It's Mark

from next door.

if you can hear me just

give me me a...just...

F***!

- Jesus!

-How did I get here?

I said there was something going on,

but does he listen? Does he? Nah.

He was too busy doing...

Got any pills?

- Huh?

-I can't go anywhere

without me pills,

can I? Dressing table,

second drawer down...

And fetch me ciggies!

-That's my brother for you!

-He's very nice.

-It suits him.

He seems a little... - What?

-He seems very quiet.

That's right.

Nothing wrong with him.

-You need to see this.

-That's the military.

Why would they send in an army?

-It's a field hospital.

- We just don't know what they are doing.

-Are they coming in?

-What's that?

-He looks sick.

- All the boys look sick.

-Do you know what I think it is?

Terrorists.

Something funny?

- No. You've...you've clearly

thought this through.

-What are you trying to say?

-Are you laughing at me?

-He's not, are you?

-I'm just saying...

Why would terrorists

target this shithole?

-Thirty years I've been here;

we're in a shithole, eh?

House of the future, they say.

These aren't my ciggies.

-What are you doing?

- What dies it look like?

-Please remain calm.

- The situation is under control.

-There was a gas leak,

which we are currently dealing with.

-They always say something.

-What did you...

Well, we know what it is now.

-Don't tell me you're

actually buying that?

-You got a better explanation?

-He's right. It does not make sense.

If the gas leak

why would they keep us sealed inside?

That doesn't...

-Please remain calm.

Stay in your homes.

-Hey, kid...

You know you they never

actually went to the moon.

-Do not listen to him Nicu.

-Just us to be last.

Just like the f***in' cattle.

-Yes! Go on,

my son!

-Stay inside and wait

for further instructions.

Failure to do so will

carry serious consequences.

-They can't do that.

-Yeah, well, they did,

didn't they?

-Must have somebody on the roof.

As if they knew this would happen.

-Wouldn't have happened in my day.

Now you got all sorts coming in.

-What? So this happened

because of immigration?

-I'm just saying...

-I know what you're just saying.

-Just ignore her.

-What about you? It was

ages before you even said hello to me.

What's the matter? People around here

are not good enough for you?

-We need to move!

Take the fight to them!

What happened down there was an act of war.

-He's right. We can't just sit and wait

for them.

We got to get out.

-Sorry. Am I the only one who

noticed the sniper on the roof?

-Why don't you shut the f*** up?
