Plan Z Page #2

---

A... a virus broke out.

Then when it kills people, they...

they rise up and attack others.

I tried to keep up with it on the TV

until the transmissions cut out.

It was terrible.

I followed it until Ireland.

That was the last country to go.

Is it bad there?

Slow, but yeah.

A zombie apocalypse?

I always thought it would be kind of fun.

It's not.

No. No, it's not.

So... what do we do next?

I have a plan.

A plan?

We stay here for as long as we can.

And then we go somewhere secluded, quiet.

We make it safe and secure.

Then what?

The plan only gets us so far.

Survival.

First and foremost, yeah.

I was going to start a new job on Monday.

Really?

You're now looking at the new

assistant manager at McDonalds.

Wow...

[both laugh]

Was actually looking forward to it.

That's why I was at the restaurant.

I was celebrating.

Celebrating my last day at the old job.

I was celebrating with...

Caitlin?

She looked so beautiful.

She, um...

She...

She was the first bit.

You don't have to tell me.

This guy just came in.

And he just looked drunk.

This guy just came in from behind.

[Caitlin screams]

Everyone started screaming and shouting.

And falling.

It was carnage.

And I made it to the bathroom.

[growling]

[people screaming]

I locked the door.

People were screaming at the door.

I couldn't let them in.

What else could I do?

[female screaming in distance]

[screaming intensifies]

F***, we need to help her.

Craig?

Hm?

We have to help her.

Why? Why do we have to help her?

She's... she's in trouble?

The whole world's in f***ing trouble,

Bill.

But...

But what?

She's surrounded.

[screaming]

We're not the f***ing A-Team.

Craig...

[thudding]

Craig...

We'll hear the screaming.

Then the silence.

That's sick.

That's how we know we're alive.

Don't tell me you didn't hear it.

Don't tell me you didn't hear

the screaming and the silence!

We have to do something.

- [Craig] We need to survive.

- We have to.

Going out there isn't survival,

it's suicide.

You came for me, didn't you?

Would you have come for me?

That's why I came for you.

This isn't right.

You're right, it's not right.

It's not fair.

You haven't seen what I've seen, Bill.

In that street.

I saw a four-year-old-boy...

a little four year old who ran out

there looking for his mummy.

Screaming for his mummy.

Screaming, Bill.

Screaming.

And then I watched as he was ripped apart.

In front of that car,

where that girl's hiding.

And she didn't help him.

She didn't help him.

Now you want us to go out there

and help her?

She's f***ed.

You're better than them.

She might not have done the right thing,

but that doesn't mean we can't.

We can't go out there.

Maybe we don't have to.

[growling]

[cries softly]

who art in Heaven

Hallowed be thy name...

[sobs]

Thy will be done on Earth

As it is in Heaven.

[banging]

Run! Run!

[thud]

Run!

[Craig bangs saucepan]

[Craig] Run, run, run!

Run!

[low growling]

They're distracted. Run! Run!

[growling]

[growling intensifies]

Run up the stairs!

Run up the stairs!

Run, run, run, run, run!

Over here, quick, over here!

- [Bill] Don't stop.

- [panting]

[zombies growling]

[woman screams]

[woman continues screaming]

[screaming]

- What are you doing?

- Listen.

- What?

- Listen.

[growling]

[crunching]

We can't do anything for her now.

We tried.

Now it's time for the silence.

What now?

We wait.

For what?

I guess, we wait because there's nowhere

much safer than here right now.

That it?

Safety's our first priority.

- What about when we run out of food?

- We find somewhere safer, with food.

We should try finding other people.

We could have saved her.

We tried.

Half-heartedly.

We tried.

Craig... Craig, we should have...

Should have what?

Tried harder?

Maybe got ourselves killed, like them.

They didn't just happen to die.

- They tried.

- [thunderclap]

They tried like you and me.

And look what happened to them

We have a plan.

When we run out of food,

we find somewhere quiet,

somewhere secluded.

We make it safe and secure.

That's the plan.

We stick to the plan.

It's not much of a plan, is it?

It's better than hiding in the toilet.

[loud music]

[heavy breathing]

[banging]

[zombies growling]

[people screaming]

[woman wailing]

[woman screams]

[screaming]

Anything?

Quiet.

Fifty thousand people, one town.

Everyone dead.

There will be some still alive.

People like us, hiding it out.

Not for much longer.

The drive is going to take us

about five or six hours.

Seven or eight, if we encounter problems.

You expecting traffic?

- Crashes.

- Crashes?

When this broke out, everyone would have

tried to drive somewhere safe.

The roads would have been mayhem.

That's why I stayed.

- Where's safe?

- Nowhere.

When do we leave?

I'm ready, if you are.

You still want to go and get the keys?

Yeah.

Sure?

Yeah, I'm good.

Don't want another practice run?

No, no, I'm good.

Let's do it.

Let's do it.

[Craig] Stage one is survival.

Stage two, shelter.

Find somewhere safe,

or where you can make safe and get there.

A town centre is not safe.

Find somewhere secluded. Low population.

A base.

[door creaks]

[door creaks]

[grunts]

[pants]

[Craig] Did you get the keys?

- No.

- What do you mean no?

I couldn't find them.

[scoffs]

Did you check every room?

Not every room.

Why?

I checked most of them.

I'm gonna go and have a look.

I'm not going out there again.

I'm sorry, man.

Be careful.

Okay.

[exhales deeply]

[door creaks]

[floorboard creaks]

[floorboard creaks]

[low growl]

[Craig gasps]

[growling intensifies]

[frantic growling]

Bill, I'm back.

Did you get the keys?

What happened to you?

I ran into a few of them.

Are you okay?

It's not my blood.

[stutters] I got all the stuff together.

Did you get the keys?

They're outside, by the car.

What you wanna do?

Let's do it.

Yeah? Okay.

["No Shelter" playing]

There's a storm coming

I feel it in my bones

There's a storm coming

Over the hills, I see it unfold

A wise man said

A hard rain's going to fall

You see the world's horizon

and you know

Go, go, go!

There'll be no arc...

Take a left! Take a left!

[screams incoherently]

Well, now you know, baby

You know where the first train's goin'

When you're playing in your back

Who you gonna play with

When there's nowhere else to go...

Well, maybe don't believe it

Know where the first trains go

The water is rising

There is no shelter here at all

I scanned all the frequencies.

There's nothing on the radio.

We need to find a petrol station and soon.

Where are we gonna find one out here?

There's a storm comin'

I feel it in my bones

The storm now

I hear thunder roll

[Craig] I chose the Isle of Skye

for shelter.

Few people know much about it,

even fewer have been there.

It's the ideal place to take shelter.

Plenty of natural water, isolated.

A few towns nearby.

Fishing. Hunting.

And I know it well.

What do you think?
