We've located one male

and one female. We're heading in.

- Move move move!

- Come on, it's not safe.

- This is a restricted area.

- You need to come with me.

We need to get you

out of here now.

That's my theme song.

Everybody needs

a theme song.

How far are we from base?

I don't know.

We've probably got another 20...

Ambush?

Help me!

Somebody help!

Help!

Requesting permission to engage.

Romeo, are you clear

to take them down? Over.

I need an air strike on these coordinates

right now! An air strike!

Help! Help!

It's gonna be much worse

on collateral damage

than if we get them

with the Hellfire. Over.

Go!

- Help me!

- Air strike coming.

Somebody help!

- Copy. Are you clear to engage?

- Taking him down.

- Let's do it.

- In three, two, one.

Debe haber ms ac.

Con cuidado.

Excuse me.

Hey, do you know where

they took the injured?

- Habla ingls? Habla ingls?

- No.

- Habla ingls? Anybody?

- Yes, little English.

It's very dangerous here.

Where did they take

the injured though?

- Over there. There.

- Where?

- To the hospital? Which hospital?

- Yes.

Wait here, okay?

Five minutes.

So all the people from

the hotel... the hotel?

They brought them in

last night or this morning.

...a travs de la costa este,

como de la oeste de Mxico...

Sam... Samantha Wynden

Al fondo.

Cubculo 3, cama 11.

Visitors are reminded

inside hospital zones.

Sam?

Yeah.

Um, my name is

Andrew Kaulder.

I work for your father's

publication.

They wanted me

to come by here

and make sure

you're okay.

So is that broken?

- No.

- No, it's not.

All right,

so you're okay?

Yeah.

Okay. Good.

- What is this, an ultimatum?

- Ultimatum? No, you're overreacting.

Overreacting?

I've been waiting three years for this.

Look, Kaulder, this is

the boss's daughter.

I need you

to get her out of here.

What is the big deal?

Just do this for me.

This is my big chance.

This is what we've been talking about.

This is what

I've been waiting for.

Yeah, look, just take

her to the coast.

You'll be back today.

That's all I'm asking you to do.

Pierce,

the answer is no.

No no,

you can't say...

I'm fine, Dad.

It's not as bad as it looks.

- Well, on TV it looks bad.

- Then don't watch TV, Dad.

- Is the train to the coast still running?

- Yes.

Two tickets...

Dos Americans.

Well, I'm glad you're okay,

but did you call John?

Sam?

Sam, he's your fianc.

You can call him,

you know.

Dad, the train is here.

I gotta go.

You can't just

call him now?

If I don't hang up right now,

I'm not gonna make it, Dad. Please.

Sam, get off the phone.

The train's leaving. Let's go.

- Dad, I gotta go.

- Sam, is that the guy?

- Dad, we have to go.

- Put him on.

- Come on, hang up the phone. We gotta go.

- He wants to talk to you.

No, I don't want to talk to him.

Here he is, Dad.

- What are you doing?

- It's for you.

- Mr. Wynden.

- Yes.

- Good morning.

- What's your name?

Andrew Kaulder. I'm a photographer.

I work for your public...

Now, Kaulder, listen to me.

You do understand your responsibility here,

- don't you?

- Yes sir.

That's my little girl

you have there, you know.

Yes sir, I understand.

She's in safe hands.

You're gonna get her back home safe.

Promise me.

Yes sir.

We gotta go.

Sir, we need to get on the train.

The train's leaving.

- Okay, well, look after her.

- Okay, thank you.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Jeez. Come on.

Are you photographing

these things?

I've photographed quite a bit of them,

but mostly carcasses.

I'm trying to get a shot

that would make

your dad's front page.

That's better.

So you came down here on...

what? Work? Vacation?

Do you work?

Do I look like I don't

work or something?

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to offend you.

I'm just new to this whole

babysitting thing.

Sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

I'm glad I could help.

It's so hot

in this thing.

Su atencin, por favor.

Esta es un anuncio

para nuestros pasajeros.

El tren no va a parar

en la prxima estacin.

Su atencin, por favor.

Esta es un anuncio

para nuestros pasajeros...

Kaulder, they said

there's a problem up ahead

and that they're gonna turn around

and go back.

Should we stay

on the train?

No.

Kaulder, are you sure

it's safe to get off here?

Yeah, sure. We're fine.

We're miles from the zone.

- All right, let's get off.

- It's really cold.

Get off,

get off, get off.

Are you sure about this?

The train's gonna leave.

It doesn't matter.

We need to keep going.

Kaulder, where are

you going?

There's nothing here.

Excuse me.

Kaulder, just let me

speak to her.

...a los enfrentamientos.

Tambin nos estn

llegando reportes...

Pero puro de da,

porque si agarras de noche...

So she said we're still

over 100 km from the coast

and the tracks

are damaged

and we can't continue

by train.

Can we catch

a bus or something?

Podemos caminar con este...

en este carril...

Nada.

No one here travels

at night because of the creatures.

So we'll have to get a ride tomorrow.

Pues ahorita no est

haciendo mucho trfico.

No hay mucho.

Poquito.

She said there's almost

no traffic in here

because the military

are closing

this whole coastline

in two days.

So let me get

this straight...

if we don't make it over to the coast

within the next 48 hours,

she's gonna be stuck here

for the next six months?

Si no llegamos aqu

en tres das,

nos vamos a estar

aqu para...

S.

- Por eso me encantan nios.

- S.

That coffee's been stirred.

You can't stir it anymore.

- Aqu hay muchos.

- S. Es muy bonito la familia.

...y de seguro,

siempre lleva tu mscara de gas.

Te puedes poner

tu mscara? A ver?

S.

- No.

- No?

No no.

No, we're not married, no.

I'm single... single.

No no.

Single, yeah.

Can you say "single"?

Single.

The US attacks across the border,

near the infected zone,

as you well know,

have started much earlier

than last season,

taking many people

by surprise.

Sightings outside

the usual migration path

have already increased.

And although there have been

several air strikes already

by the United States,

the new president

basically said

that he would

not tolerate any activity

near the newly-built wall

on the US border,

which of course raises all kinds of concerns.

Put on the masks.

I'm gonna take a picture.

Put on the masks,

like when

the planes come. S s.

You don't have to breathe hard.

Thank you.

- Oh, no puedo.

- S, agarralo. De veras.

- Come on, let's go.

- She wants me to take this stuff.

Well, then grab it.

Let's go. What is it?

- Food and water. Pues, muchas gracias.

- Gracias gracias.

Que les vaya muy bien.

Gracias. Thank you.

Hasta luego.

Sam.

Let's go.

Let's go, let's go,

let's go, let's go.

So you're married?

No, I'm engaged.

What's the difference?

Oh.

Oh, that feels good.

Walking.

- Kaulder.

- Okay.

- Cmo te llamo?

- Bernet.

- Bernet.

Gareth Edwards

Sir Gareth Owen Edwards, CBE (born 12 July 1947) is a Welsh former rugby union player who played scrum-half and has been described by the BBC as "arguably the greatest player ever to don a Welsh jersey".In 2003, in a poll of international rugby players conducted by Rugby World magazine, Edwards was declared the greatest player of all time. In 2007, former England captain Will Carling published his list of the '50 Greatest Rugby players' in The Daily Telegraph, and ranked Edwards the greatest player ever, stating; "He was a supreme athlete with supreme skills, the complete package. He played in the 1970s, but, if he played now, he would still be the best. He was outstanding at running, passing, kicking and reading the game. He sits astride the whole of rugby as the ultimate athlete on the pitch".Edwards was prominent in the Welsh national team that was to the fore in European rugby in the '60s and '70s. He is one of a small group of Welsh players to have won three Grand Slams including Ryan Jones, Adam Jones, Gethin Jenkins, Gerald Davies and J. P. R. Williams.In the 2007 New Year Honours, Edwards became a CBE for services to sport. He was knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours of 2015, for services to sport and for charitable services. more…
