Take them away.

Don't you even want

to know why we're here?

(EXCLAIMS)

That you're here at all

is sin enough.

It's the Reaper virus.

It's back.

And if he touches me one

more time, I will kill him

where he stands, I swear.

How dare they send you

here to ask for my help?

They started this fire.

They can burn in it!

(PEOPLE CLAMORING)

(WOMAN SCREAMING)

(SIREN WAILING)

(GROANS)

AUTOMATED VOICE:

Place your right hand

on the screen.

(BEEPING)

Now look into

the retinal scanner.

HATCHER:

We're losing our city.

I better get out there.

It's time to get you out,

Prime Minister.

(BEEPS)

AUTOMATED VOICE:

Sub level 6.

(ALARM BLARING)

(EXCLAIMS)

How the hell did this man...

Isolate him.

Put him in his office,

and do it now.

GUARD:
Move, sir.

I don't understand how I...

GUARD:
Keep your distance!

Canaris, I...

Canaris!

GUARD:
Back away!

Canaris!

Good shot.

I was trying to save him!

KANE:
You brought

impurity into our world.

You must be cleansed.

Do it.

CALLY:
Please, Father. Please.

Father, please! No!

(SOBBING)

Daddy! No! Daddy!

Daddy!

(WHIMPERING)

No!

(SCREAMING)

(CLAMORING)

You, turn around.

Tie her hands.

Sinclair, what did they

call you before they

called you Major?

Eden.

Well, Eden,

I still think this

is a sh*t plan.

(GUN FIRES)

(PEOPLE CHANTING)

So, tell me.

What's it like

out there now?

What do you care?

I'm curious.

Same sh*t, different era.

So we did the right thing,

then, eh, by keeping

ourselves to ourselves.

Don't you mean

turning your back?

You used to be a doctor.

At what point

did you stop caring?

I used to be

an idealist, too.

That night that they

closed the gates.

That night,

I lost everything.

My wife, my family.

You don't know the pain.

You chose to stay hidden.

Your wife and family

could still be out there.

You ever stop to think

about their pain?

I haven't slept one night

in 25 years without

reliving that moment.

Who the hell are you

to talk to me about pain?

What do you know?

What did you ever lose?

(PEOPLE CHANTING)

(DRUM BEATING)

(ROARING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Bollocks!

(GRUNTING)

(DOOR OPENING)

Daddy wants to see you.

FALCO:
Step away!

(CRACKING)

Don't f*** about, mate.

I'm not in the mood.

Stirling, get the keys!

Back off.

(GRUNTS)

(CHEERING)

Out of the way,

you dozy twat!

In there.

Doctor, not now.

NORTON:
Grenades. Lovely.

That'll do nicely.

Come on, Doctor!

(CROWD EXCLAIMING)

(CROWD BOOING)

I'll tell you what I've lost.

I've lost my bloody mind.

Execute the prisoners! Now!

Execute the prisoners! Now!

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

Man the defenses!

We're under attack!

That's it.

Nice.

Yeah? Cool.

Come, come, come.

Where are they?

Where are they?

(SCREAMING)

F***ers!

You, finish her off.

Sh*t.

(GUN FIRES)

KANE:
Cally!

STIRLING:
Come on!

We have no time!

(EXCLAIMING)

Watch out. Come on.

Come on.

Get to the horses!

NORTON:
Move it! Move it!

Come on!

CALLY:
Grab the torches!

Here you go.

Sergeant,

jam the door.

NORTON:
Go on!

Sergeant, check

and see if there's

a backup generator.

We're gonna need

something, and fast.

(GRUNTING)

Take your pick.

Let's try that box.

(SCREAMING) No!

Well, what are

you looking at?

Break that f***er down!

Whoa.

Nice color. I'll take it.

I'll get those

fill her up.

Where you going?

I'm gonna find a phone.

Help me with it.

Hurry up,

you lazy twats!

Come on!

Perfect.

Get in the back!

What does it do?

I'll show you what it does.

(DIALING PHONE)

(PHONE RINGING)

Nelson.

We got the package.

We're on our way.

Well, you'd better

get here quick.

Canaris is in charge now.

Hatcher's dead.

Put him on.

It's for you.

Yes?

You still want your prize?

Then follow this signal.

Trace the source.

Send the coordinates

directly to me.

Okay, that's it.

Let's go.

Hold the fort

while I'm away.

This is as far as you go.

We'll handle it from here.

Un-bloody-believable!

F***, yeah!

STIRLING:

Put your foot down!

SINCLAIR:
I'm tired

of running from

these bastards.

Hold on!

(SIREN WAILING)

Yeah!

Step on it!

F***er!

Sh*t!

Jesus.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(EXCLAIMING)

(BOTH SCREAMING)

Too f***ing close.

You think?

(MARAUDERS SCREAMING)

(ENGINES REVVING)

Hold on,

we're going for a ride.

Are you out of your

f***ing mind?

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

F***!

Here they come.

Come on!

No!

CALLY:

No! No! No!

(ALL SCREAMING)

No! No!

(SCREAMING)

Please.

Please stop!

You'll kill us.

STIRLING:
Cally!

Get off of her,

you b*tch!

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(GUN FIRES)

Cally!

(SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMS)

Okay.

You like pain?

Yeah.

Have some of this!

(SCREAMING)

Put your foot down!

SOL:
No.

Cally!

Cally! Cally! Cally!

(SCREAMING)

No!

Oh, sh*t.

No! Stop!

(SOL SCREAMING)

You dirty f***ers!

SOL:
F***!

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

(CAR ACCELERATING)

Sh*t!

(ALL SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

What the f***'s

going on, Sinclair?

They want my cure.

(WATCH BEEPING)

Major Sinclair.

You had me worried

for a while.

Do you have it?

I've got it.

Where's the medical team?

Let's not

make this difficult.

You've done a good job.

We'll take it from here.

Stirling,

bring her out.

You have to forgive Stirling.

He's very involved

with his work.

Okay. Let's go.

We understand

the need for sacrifice.

The longer we leave it,

the better shape we'll be

in once the dust settles.

Once the virus has

eaten away the dead flesh,

then we'll make our move.

Just a question of timing.

Making you the hero

of the hour.

You said you had the cure.

Where is it?

She's the cure.

The survivors

are immune.

We can use her blood

to make a vaccine.

Hand her over.

She's not going

anywhere without me.

STIRLING:
Captain.

Get behind me.

Hand her over now.

Go with them.

I don't trust him.

There's no choice.

So that's it?

I've got nothing left

to bargain with.

I've done my job.

Now it's your turn.

A lot of good people

died for this!

Is that all

it was to you?

A job?

That's right.

Now, take her and go.

(CALLY SNIFFLING)

Rough ride?

Rough enough.

Don't suppose

you've got a cigarette?

Come with me.

I'll get you all the

cigarettes you want.

Pity. I could have used

someone like you.

(BEEPS)

She's so beautiful.

You okay?

Never better.

How'd you find me?

I used to be

a policeman once.

I don't need it anymore.

Really?

Did Canaris get

what he wanted?

He did.

I have a feeling

he'll be holding

onto it for awhile.

Sh*t.

Don't worry.

He gave me something

in return.

All the evidence

you'll need to bring

Canaris down.

He will come after you.

Well, then he'll know

where to find me.

(GRUNTS)

Come on.

(SIGHS)

(CAR LOCK BEEPING)

Just do me one favor.

Drive careful.

Be lucky.

The longer we leave it,

the better shape we'll be

in once the dust settles.

Once the virus has

eaten away the dead flesh,

then we'll make our move.

SINCLAIR:
Making you

the hero of the hour.

If you're hungry,
