Sh*t! Move!

"Don't you walk out on me, Grant"

"Please, I need you".

- What was that?

- We have an enemy, sir.

Laurel Ann, 'we've got an enemy'?

Okay, what's going on?

Those are my words...

Those are my words...

What is going on?!

- I'm scared!

- Sydney, listen...

I'm scared, too.

You're cut!

- Laurel Ann, we've got a first aid kit?

- Yeah, okay.

- What's going on?

- Sydney, focus here.

Focus. Look at me.

Where're your kids?

They're with him.

They're in the city.

That's a hundred kilometers away.

They're safe, right?

Oh, God. Yeah.

They're safe, okay. We've got work to do.

I'm going back on the radio.

This is a hell of a shift, Sydney.

What's up first?

Obituaries.

Obituaries?

Okay, but I've got nothing taped.

Then we'll go live!

Live! That's what I wanna hear.

Let's go!

"Gwendolyn Parker...

was taken from this life in her 45th year

by her beloved husband Stanley...

who left this world suddenly, at the hands

of family members Fiona and Michael,

who then died at each other's hands in their

"Janice Gwynne has departed

from her abiding husband...

and by his own hand,

in her 34th year of her life".

Jack Gwynne survived long enough

to add four names...

Paul Hieghton, 43,

Alice Hieghton, 42,

Brenda Hieghton, 12,

and young Jesse Hieghton, 10...

to a list of passages before himself

losing his life as a result of an accident".

"Greg Olan, 56, has been killed

by Yolanda Olan, 61...

who also removed Frieda Olan, 81...

Patsy Owen, 12, John Freethy, 33,

Peter Stamp, 38 and Leslie Reid, 42...

who had, between them, caused the

untimely passings of Joel Froth, 67,

Sandra Weydon, 23...

Tim Drummond, 17...

Cynthia Drummond, 46...

Darren Drummond, 51...

and Alicia Drummond, 91".

"The Drummond's were survived on

Cynthia's side by the Hindman family,...

until shortly before noon today...

when they were sadly removed

from this world by a bus...

driven by the recently departed

Brenda Lockland, 43...

which was missed, briefly, by her husband,

Gary, 37... now deceased".

You are listening to "In the Mourning" on

CLSY Radio.

"David and Susan Varier Jones

married for 51 years...

died suddenly in each other's arms,

by each other's grip".

Are you listening to this?

I'm really trying not to...

Sh*t! I left my cell phone

in the sound booth.

I wanna talk to the kids.

When he's got them,

he turns the cell phone off.

Or doesn't pick up,

I don't know.

He's a jerk.

So, did anything... this crazy

ever happen to you in Afghanistan?

No. Sir. I believe the situation

I brought back in my head.

What do you... what do you mean?

I don't really know.

I'm gonna go see if Mr. Mazzy's missing.

Missing... missing... missing

I mean, Mr. Mazzy... Mr. Mazzy's missing,

as in 'he's not here'.

Well, honey. He's in the sound booth.

- Yes, I know... I just...

- Ok?

I'm gonna, I'm gonna go...

Excuse me?

Sorry, please don't be alarmed.

I'm Dr. John Mendez.

I've not had a lot of time...

I've literally been crawling...

on my hands and knees throughout

town, all over... and... and...

OK, don't say anything, okay? Oh boy!

She's has just started doing this.

Sorry, I'm a doctor. We should slip out.

Laurel Ann? Laurel Ann, honey.

Are you okay?

No, no. It's time to go and keep moving.

She'll follow our voices. We have to...

What's that?

It's the sound booth.

Life boat! Let's go!

Mr. Mendez is missing Mazzy... No!

No, I'm Missy Mazzy and I have to...

We just need to get a bit

of lead time a head of her.

Don't worry.

She doesn't have a voice...

- What's wrong with her?

- Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Grant! Grant!

- It's Dr. John Mendez.

- Mendez?

You had the building that exploded?

I think he probably has

quite a story to tell.

Doctor, would you like

to have a seat?

- You mean, on the radio?

- Yeah.

Oh, yes, I have a story

one to tell.

No, guys. Wait! I'm not missing anymore.

I don't miss Mr. Mazzy...

I think it might be

a little bit more interesting...

than with Nigel Healing, huh?

- What going on?

- Your friend is sick.

I've seen a lot of this lately.

She doesn't know it yet,

but... she's hunting us.

I don't miss Mr. Mazzy.

I'm not missing anymore. Sydney!

- She doesn't look...

- Hey, come on!

We can't just leave her out there.

I wanna talk to her, Grant,

- put the sound out...

- No, no, no, no, no!

Let's leave the sound

sealed in here with us...

She might lose track of where we are,

if she can't hear us.

You are listening to 'The Beacon'.

We are holding our own here today,

and we are taking no prisoners, friends.

However, today we are those prisoners.

We are tired and we are scared.

But, we have live with us Dr. John Mendez.

Now, you may know him,

or you may recall our own

Ken Loney's vivid account...

of the violence that took place,

when the mob destroyed his practice.

Now, Dr. Mendez,

we're looking to you.

You've had some special experience

with these, uh... with these events.

We would like any insights

that you can provide...

Laurel Ann, don't do that! Stop!

Oh, she is rooting for voices. Huh-huh.

This will grow vicious.

I should mention that, uh, sadly...

very sadly, our own 'Homecoming Hero',

Laurel Ann Drummond,

is right now experiencing

some kind of... dangerous seizures.

I've seen this,

what your friend's experiencing.

Ok... can I? Ok.

I've seen elements of this.

She doesn't have a victim yet...

So I'm not sure how this will end.

I mean... A victim suicides.

But.. the victim needs a victim

to suicide into.

I know this is horribly

upsetting to you,

and I'm sorry to be the bearer

of such disturbing news, but...

- Sydney.

- I've seen this violent behaviour...

at my office all morning.

Yeah... Okay, we're going live.

- I've got Ken.

- Okay, thank you Dr. Mendez.

We are now going to our...

own reporter, Ken Loney, live in the field.

He's in a grain silo near Pontypool.

Are you there, Ken?

I'm here, uh... Ken Loney,

reporting from inside the grain silo.

And we were

very worried about you, Ken.

I think I... I'm okay, but, uh... the person

that was in here with me, he has died.

Have you been there

all this time?

Yeah, I... I haven't moved,

but... you can hear, uh... crowds,

from time to time, passing by outside.

Can you hear what they're saying?

Are they saying anything?

Yeah, I have... you can hear them.

A group went by about an hour ago...

and they were talking about...

uh... "U-boats"

Well, they weren't talking, really...

They were just sort of, uh... chanting...

Something about

"Look out for U-boats".

"Look out for U-boats".

"Look out for U-boats".

Where they all saying this, Ken?

Yeah, yeah, all of them...

it's a symbol of the disorder.

A 'symbol' of the disorder?

You mean... a 'symptom'...

It a simple... uh... it...

I have a problem.

What's happening there, Ken?

Do you need to get to someplace safer?

No, no... that's not it...

I, uh... I, uh...

What's going on, Ken?

It's gonna... it's gonna sound weird...
