what I'm doing.

Ellen, just sit down,

stay calm for a minute.

Sit down.

There you are.

You OK?

What's wrong with her?

They're looking after her,

don't worry.

She'll be fine.

There was so much blood.

My daughter's got shoes like those.

They're cool.

Thanks.

She cannot wait

to be a teenager.

She hardly ever talks

to me anymore.

She says that I embarrass her.

You seem pretty nice.

My mum's my best friend.

Really?

There's hope for me yet, then.

Won't she wonder

where you are?

No. She's usually in bed

by the time I get home,

and weekends

she's with her dad, so I never...

It's back.

What the f*** is that?

Maybe someone's come to...

Shh...

What the f*** is it?

Stay back.

Where's it going?

Just be quiet. Shh.

- Whose phone is that?

- Not mine!

- What the f***?

- It must be someone's!

Someone's got reception!

It's yours. Answer it!

Oh, my God. It's me.

Well, answer it, then.

Hello? Hello?

Who is it?

Mum, you've got to listen to me.

Something's happened.

Tell her where we are.

Please, Mum, no, please.

Give me the phone.

Tell her where we are!

Out of my way.

Give me that thing!

Get off me!

Help me!

Come on!

Shh, shh, shh!

Shut up! Shut up!

I think it's gone.

What is it?

Does anyone know?

It ain't a f***ing dog,

I can tell you that.

Shut up!

We can't just leave her!

She's gone!

We've got to go back!

Hey, hey, come back!

She might still be alive,

We can't just leave her!

Why did you stop me?

I could have got her!

I was trying to save you!

It was too late for her!

It's your fault!

Stop it.

You still wanna sit and wait?

I didn't know this would happen!

You've got to do something!

It's too easy for it to get in.

What are we gonna do?

Stop listening to this prick.

He's doing his best!

I shouldn't even

be on this train.

Enough!

Do you all wanna die tonight?

Cos if you do, you just

carry on whinging and arguing,

and soon enough,

that thing out there,

he'll take care of it for you.

But if you still intend to get home,

then start acting like it.

It's an animal.

Animals hunt

what's easy to catch.

And look at us.

We're sitting ducks here.

So let's try and make it

a little bit harder

for the bastard, shall we?

Have you got any tools

on this train?

What's wrong with you?

Dodgy kebab gave me the shits.

Oh! It's not easy, is it?

What?

Here. Here, I'll help you. Yeah.

Thank you.

Listen, I'm sorry about being

such a cow to you before.

It's just... I've spent too much

of my life on this train.

Tell me about it.

Jenny, here's

some water, love.

Oh, sorry,

it's nearly empty.

Was there any water anywhere?

Joe's got the last bottle.

Right.

I was told you might have

a bottle of water.

Yeah, course.

What was her name?

Who?

The girl...

The girl who was...

Oh. Ooh, um...

I don't know.

Do you have any children?

Yes. I've got a daughter

who's about to be 13.

Oh.

You?

Wasn't to be.

We wanted to, but...

Like we always say,

we have each other

and that's

the most important thing.

Thank you.

And thank you

for getting us in here.

No problem.

You're doing alright, you know.

It's coming back, you know.

Sorry?

Our friend out there

is coming back.

Might not.

Might have had enough.

Yeah.

Let me show you something.

Country house.

Wife, kids, dog, the works.

But then there's this.

A city flat.

Five minutes' walk

from the office,

nice view of Tower Bridge,

perfect for entertaining

young ladies.

Discreet.

Two worlds never meet,

and everyone is happy.

Good for you.

The point is, we do

what we have to to get by.

Sometimes it ain't nice.

Take this lot.

Old, weak, afraid.

They're natural born victims.

And when that thing comes back,

when it gets in here,

you can stand with them

and wait your turn to die,

or you can use your keys

and open one of these doors,

and maybe...

maybe you and I...

can get out of this alive.

Survival of the fittest,

my friend.

You think about it.

Jesus.

Jenny... Jenny.

Can you hear me?

Jenny!

What the f***'s

happening to her?

She needs help.

She's sick.

But why are

her teeth falling out?

Shut it!

Look, old man,

I am just saying that...

I know what you're saying.

Stop it!

Joe? Joe?

Someone's missing.

The football guy.

He said he needed a sh*t.

Whoa, whoa, whoa,

what are you doing?

He's gone.

You don't know that.

Just give him a minute.

Wait here.

Hurry up.

- Hey. Hey, where's he going?

- What's happening?

Don't wanna lose anyone else.

It's fine.

Just one minute.

I'm not leaving this open.

Paul?

What?

Paul, come on, hurry up,

open the door.

You've got to get in the other carriage.

It's not safe here.

F***'s sake.

Paul?

What?!

Paul, hurry up.

I can't do

a sh*t in peace.

No, it's not safe.

For f***'s sake.

Come on. Come on!

The... The door...

What?

I can't open the door!

Oh, f***.

The door is jammed!

Right... That's it.

What are you doing?

He's been long enough.

Sh*t! Help me!

Help me!

Let me go!

Get me the f*** out!

Sh*t! Get me out of here!

Get me out! F***!

Get me out!

It's f***ing broke...

Come on!

F***ing open the f***ing door!

What are you doing?

Getting out of here.

We're trapped

on this f***ing train.

What about Joe?

He made his choice.

At least he had the guts to try.

You should have gone with him!

You should be helping him!

Just get out the f***ing train!

We need to get them out, too!

F***!

Hurry up!

The key.

Open the f***ing door!

F***ing hell...

Let's barricade it, quick!

Hold it, hold it!

It's coming, it's coming!

- It's not gonna open!

- Hey!

We need your help!

Pass me that.

Do something! Help him!

F***ing die!

It's dead. It's OK.

F***ing let go!

It's dead.

Shh... It's gone. OK.

It's OK.

What did we just kill?

It's a man.

But its legs... and its teeth...

are more like a dog's.

More like a wolf's.

What?

Just saying.

What are you saying?

Isn't it obvious?

We're looking

at a werewolf.

What, like a full moon

and silver bullet sort of thing?

No...

But look at the legs,

triple-jointed,

the eyes, teeth.

Whatever it is, it's some kind

of hybrid between man and wolf.

It's wearing a ring. Look.

It used to be like us.

Perhaps it's a disease.

Like a mutation.

Something you catch

from animals.

Or a bite.

You're all too young to remember

the Thornton Forest rail crash.

Late night express came

off the tracks, somewhere near here.

When the emergency services

got to them,

there was no one left to save.

All sorts of tales

about what they found,

bodies half eaten by animals,

some just gone.

They never did find out

what really happened.

I never gave it much

thought after that.

Until tonight.

So this has happened before.

We've killed it now,

so we're sweet.

Jenny?

Jen?

Honey?

She's one of them.

She's f***ing one of them.

You leave her alone!

She's sick.

No, she's not.

She is infected.

We all know it.

And if we are gonna survive,

she has to go.

You touch one hair

on my Jenny's head
