Of all weapons in the world,

I now know love to be the most dangerous.

For I have suffered a mortal wound.

When did I fall so deeply under your spell, Ms. Bennet?

I cannot fix the hour or the spot or the look

or the words which lay the foundation.

I was in the middle before I knew I began.

But a proud fool I was.

I have faced the harsh truth.

That I can never hope to win your love in this life.

And so I sought solace in combat.

I write to you from the siege of London.

There is now a coming designed zombie attack.

I sense a dark hand is at work.

They are guiding the enemy Ms. Bennet.

By taking London they've increased

their ranks a hundred fold.

Now we endeavor to keep them

trapped within the great wall.

This isn't the random act of some mindless horde.

They struck the palace and both houses.

They cut off our head before we could cut off theirs.

If we should fail to contain them

and they breach Hingham Bridge,

It'll be as if a great dam has broken

and they'll reach out for us swiftly.

And in overwhelming numbers.

Dear Ms. Bennet.

I implore you to be ready.

- Liz!

- Jane.

Jane,

Jane what is it?

Wickham's run off with Lydia.

She's barely more than a child.

I never could have imagined

my own face so improper.

To be such a flaggard.

What are we to do?

These letters.

I know where she is.

You have very small estate.

And yet we endure it.

I have urgent business to attend to.

A falsehood of the most scandalous

nature has reached me.

That you intend to unite with

my own nephew Mr. Darcy.

Is this true?

I do not possess your frankness your ladyship.

You may ask questions I may

not choose to answer.

Let me be rightly understood Ms. Bennet.

Darcy has been promised

since infancy to my daughter.

You have no reason to

suppose he made me an offer.

Are you engaged to him or not?

Not.

Will you promise me

never to enter into social engagement?

I will make no such promise.

And I shall protect the

dignity of a far superior man.

You doth face me in combat.

I do not.

For to take arms against you my lady,

would be to take arms against England.

My proxy will have to suffice.

Wilhelm.

Bennet.

Do you concede?

I do not.

My courage always rises at

every attempt to intimidate me.

Do you still refuse to oblige me?

I do!

I do not know which I admire more Ms. Bennet..

Your skill as a warrior,

or your resolve as a woman.

Tunggu, ayah..

What's right to do cannot be done too soon.

You don't even know where she is!

I do I promise you I won't forsake Lydia.

I'll go with you.

No you must stay here to protect Longbourn.

Ride at once both of you.

I will take the rest of your family back with me to Rosings.

There's no safer place.

Collect your people.

All of London's fallen to the zombies.

We have urgent business on the other side.

This bridge is rigged with all the explosives left in England.

It's to be detonated tomorrow at dawn.

And the last squadron withdrawn from the "inbetween."

Our boys can't hold them much longer.

If the undead of London take the bridge,

the rest of England will surely be lost.

Nevertheless.

We mustn't turn back.

Hello, Ms. Bennet.

Pottersfield.

Yes, quite.

What?

This. What we're standing on.

It's an unmarked zombie graveyard.

Yes of course.

Ms. Bennet was possible cause would the two of you have

for leaving Hertfordshire and entering into the inbetween?

If adventures will not befall a young lady in her own village,

she must seek them abroad.

We had no choice.

Wickham has run off with Lydia.

He's taken her to where his zombie aristocrats congregate.

St. Lazarus.

St. Lazarus?

I know it well.

I saw it razed to the ground.

Five days ago.

Your sister couldn't have possibly survived.

I'm profoundly sorry for your loss.

Colonel Darcy.

I feel I must depart for Hingham Bridge immediately.

Of course.

Let's see how reasonable his aristocrats are

after their apetites have been whet.

On my mark. Now.

Dawn breaks at five o clock tomorrow.

- I'll make it back.

- Course you will old man.

The order must be given at first light, no matter what.

I'll give the order.

I fear I should not have confided in Darcy.

Fear the hordes of ravenous unmentionables swarming our way.

Liz, London has already fallen and

the Grand Barrier burns as we speak.

Hingham Bridge is behind us.

London's over there.

Which direction are you looking in Mr. Bingley?

St. Lazarus.

- Darcy lied..

- To spare you...

He'd risk anything for you Ms. Bennet.

Lizzy. Lizzy!

Who would steal the brains of dead soldiers?

- Mr. Darcy.

- it's alright.

He said you'd come.

Mr. Darcy!

Bastard.

My god you're so predictable.

I knew by taking young Lydia you'd have

to protect the Bennet's honor.

So, come to kill me then?

On the contrary.

I've come to make you an offer.

The Bennets

Have authorized me to offer

you a commission of 10,000 pounds.

To return Lydia and leave England for good.

How very noble of you to deliver the Bennet's

offer but I'm afraid my answer is no.

And is the "no" financial inducement?

To convince you to do the honorable thing, George.

None.

You see money is off no use to me now.

Is that your father's watch?

Yes.

Give it to me.

No.

Lydia, listen to me.

You have to get across Hingham Bridge.

- Mr. Darcy? - As long as Wickham lives England is in peril.

Go Lydia! Go!

I conquered London, Darcy.

Do you really think you can defeat me?

Always have.

You're a traitor George!

No, I'm a King!

Lydia!

Lydia!

It's time sir.

Seven minutes.

Rider!

Wait!

Lydia!

Where are the others?

I just wanted to fall in love!

If I had the living your father intended

me I never would've been in the army!

I never would've been infected!

This is your doing Darcy!

I survived it wasn't easy.

With Lydia gone, I have my hatred of you to sustain me!

The Four Horsemen have risen from hell!

The zombie apocalypse is here!

I am the one you've been waiting for!

The one to lead them!

Every life I take...

Every atrocity I commit...

is on your head!

Can't delay any longer sir.

The undead will have reached the

bridge soon and then it'll be too late.

Their not back yet you must wait Bingley!

Give the order.

- Give the order!

- Yes, sir.

Liz!

The very first moment I beheld you,

My heart was irrevocably gone.

Lady Catherinemight I take this opportunity

to compliment you on your pantaloons?

And your eyepatch.

Very fetching is it?

Function or fashion?

Function.

Her ladyship.

Guess whose speaking with Papa in the library its-

Mr. Bingley.

Lady Catherine.

This is all rather embarrassing.

But I would like to request the privilege of speaking with Ms. Jane.

Alone.

Mr. Darcy.

My favorite nephew.

You lay unconscious for so long,

that when we'd heard you'd risen

we had feared you had

joined the ranks of the undead.

Any word from the canal?

It's holding for the time being.

Yes!

Would you excuse me?

Ms. Bennet.

Mr. Darcy.

Look as though you are fully mended.
