of extreme force to the head.

'I repeat, the blow must be to the head.

'We will be halting transmission shortly

but information will be broadcast on...'

Right, we've got a couple of choices.

We can either stay here,

make sure everything's secure.

Or there's a fishing shed

up the road near the lake.

It stinks a bit but it's made of stone

so it'll be safe.

- Are you listening?

- I've got to find her.

- I can't leave her out there in that mess.

- Do not do this to yourself, mate.

Look, she's a clever girl.

She'll be all right.

It's chaos out there.

What chance have we got of finding her?

She's a smart girl. She's probably

in a safer place than we are right now.

OK?

So are we going to stay here

or go up to the fishing shed?

Yeah.

- Yeah, OK, we'll stay here.

- Right, good.

You check here. I'll go out the back

and make sure everything's safe.

- Matt will wait for us, won't he?

- Of course he will. He's my brother.

I hate to say it, but he has got a point.

Joe's not right for you.

You did so well rebuilding your life

without him. Now all that work...

Kate, I've made up my mind.

Have you thought

what the testing might do?

No, it's fine. I'm fine.

OK. Sorry. Sorry.

- All this is just so f***ing weird.

- I know.

But we are going to be OK.

Come on!

Why aren't they moving?

- A345.

- What? No.

That's going north.

We need to head east.

It'll take us out of this bloody traffic.

We need to go out to come back in.

- How?

- Come on!

What's going on?

We need to get out.

Hey, stop that!

What are you doing?

Everybody stop!

Oi! Oh, sh*t!

Sh*t!

'We urge all listeners in the city

to evacuate. I repeat.

'Evacuate the city immediately

by any means possible.

'Emergency services have been overrun.

'If any member of your group

has been bitten by the infected,

'they will have limited time

before the infection

'takes over their brain function.

'Do not allow them to stay with you.

'I repeat,

do not allow them to stay with you.'

God, we're not going to make it.

We're going to have to stop somewhere.

Where?

Steve's.

We need to try and find somewhere

with more people.

Steve's is just down the road.

No, no!

Please, not now.

Not f***ing now! Come on.

Come on!

That's Steve's van.

- Why is it so empty?

- Something's not right.

Looks like two or three people.

There's too many f***ing rabbits

out there, mate.

Let's get behind the bench.

Hello? Oh!

Ange!

- What are you doing here?

- Jesus, Joe!

- Why aren't you inside?

- Did you break out?

What? No.

Baby, I made bail.

I got out a couple of hours ago.

- You're not hurt, are you?

- No, I'm fine.

Well, come here.

You're safe now.

You all right, Kate?

So what are you doing here?

Steve.

Listen, the car's completely broken down.

We need your help to fix it.

The radiator's gone.

You won't get far like that.

- Can't you lend us something?

- I haven't got anything.

We had to sell the lot.

Needed the cash.

You two should stay here.

We'll be all right.

No, Joe, we need to get

to the Abraxon site across from MS U.

Matt's meeting us there with Jim.

Jim's learning to be a pilot.

He says they've got a helicopter.

So what are you doing here?

Wapping's the other way.

- We figured we'd go round the traffic.

- Who's Jim?

- Jim's got your old job.

- Kate!

F*** 'em.

As far as they're concerned,

I'm f***ing guilty.

Did you think they were going

to give you your job back?

No, we're safe here.

- Joe...

- The news says to stay indoors.

In all fairness, it did say that.

You'd be stupid to go into town.

It's carnage out there.

The news said it was pretty f***ing bad.

Well, this is hardly Fort Knox!

How do we know

Matt and Jim will even be there?

Unlike you, Joe, we can trust them.

- What?

- You know what.

Just hang on for a minute.

- Ange!

- Get the gun!

What the f*** is it?

No, no, no!

Don't shoot!

Get away from the door!

- Easy, easy!

- Now just calm down, all right?

Just calm down.

What the f*** is that?

There you go, mate.

Do you want one, love?

- No, thanks.

- Fair enough.

So glad just to see

some normal faces, you know.

What's going on?

What happened?

Er, well,

we were on our way to work

Near Bank.

My colleague, Alex Johnson,

that's the guy who tried to...

That was him.

He was travelling with us

when the subway stopped

and all the lights went out.

The emergency lights came on.

The screaming had started.

They came through the carriages,

clambering over each other like insects.

They bite you. It's like, they bite you

and then you become one of them.

So we ran through the tunnels

till we got back to the station.

- The police couldn't do much.

- No, they did nothing.

One cop, I mean, he had a shotgun.

He'd been bitten three or four times.

So he turned...

He turned the gun around.

- His head split open like a log.

- F***ing Jesus!

Well, that settles it.

We barricade these f***ing doors

and we stay here.

No, wait a second.

You haven't understood.

These things chase people.

That's all they care about.

Everybody's running away from the city.

Running this way.

Do you hear that?

There can't be any questions now.

We go to the Abraxon site, yeah?

- What's there?

- There's a helicopter.

- Sounds like a plan.

- Why don't we head for the coast?

There's too many of us.

There's not enough room.

Matt said it was a four-seater helicopter.

Four people.

It's a f***ing joke!

No, we'll make it work.

We'll make it work somehow.

Oh, my God.

There's someone outside.

Joe!

Aaaargh!

Is he one of them?

You all right, mate?

Sh*t, they're coming

through the office window!

F*** it!

Get over there!

Take this.

On three, you go over the top

and you go behind me, OK?

One...

two...

three!

Matt, wait.

Sandra, what?

Sandra?

Oh, Jesus! Sandra?

Run!

No, Andy!

F***!

F***ing hell, run!

Run! Run!

Jim, look.

They're scared of the water.

We might make it, Jim.

We might just f***ing make it.

Jesus Christ, are you OK?

Keep it raised.

- Let's just get out of here. I'll be fine.

- Try and stop the blood flow.

Ow!

That's all we can do.

We were quick. You might be lucky.

- What about me?

- What about you?

I'm still here, ain't I?

All right, listen, everyone.

You've seen what two of them can do.

They move fast and they spread fast.

We need to do exactly the same thing.

Now, as this is a garage,

I'm hoping there's a car we can use.

Who are you?

She asked you a question.

- I'm Cole.

- What are you doing?

I'm running, just like everyone else.

We're all in the same boat

so we need to help each other.

What happened back there?

Looked like a heart attack.

What are you, a f***ing doctor?

I'm a diabetic.

There's a van outside.

I need to change the fuel pump.

I think I can use

the one from Angie's car.

I'll try and make a start on it, all right?

There's a helicopter

at a site in Wapping.

Yeah, but that's that way, isn't it?

Back in the sh*t.

Don't see your helicopter outside.
