SOS: Save Our Skins

This is an SOS.

We don't know what's happened,

but everybody has disappeared.

There are no people, no police,

nothing.

We're all alone.

There's nobody.

If anyone can see

this message, please,

get in touch...

Will you stop eating that ham?!

No...

Nothing...

U I q

This is ridiculous.

No...

What time is it?

Nine in the morning.

Really?

I'm really jet lagged.

Shouldn't have taken

all the sleeping pills.

Yeah, I didn't take mine in the end.

What?

It was your idea to

take them in the first place.

Yeah, I know, but then I saw

how sleepy they made you,

and it got me all anxious.

Even thinking about

taking sleeping pills

is keeping me awake.

So I decided not to take them,

and I was out like a light.

Slept like a baby.

Oh, great.

There's nothing on TV.

Try HBO.

No, there's literally nothing on TV.

They definitely watch TV

in America, don't they?

Ben, all they do is watch TV.

Cookie?

- For breakfast?

- Yeah!

No.

What is the point

of going on holiday

if you can't watch TV?

We should get going.

Chewbacca's on at 10

followed by Robocop's boss,

and the dad from

The Lawnmower Man.

What about Xena?

"Xena Warrior Princess,

Conference Room B at 2 o'clock."

Do you think she'd give me a kiss?

Yeah.

Really?

Not if you were

the last man on earth.

3100... We can either

see Rutger Hauer,

or a monster from Doctor Who.

Is there no one from

The Walking Dead?

No. There's a guy who was in

one episode of Game of Thrones.

- Who?

- Just says, 'Knight who fell off horse'.

Nah.

- How about the puppets from Labyrinth?

- Yeah, okay.

There should be

some jawas serving coffee.

I thought everything was

bigger and better in America.

The one in Leicester

had more going on than this...

Where's Chewbacca?

Leicester's bigger

than New York, though, right?

Where's anyone?

Are they gonna serve some food?

Hello?

I saved up for six months

for this trip, Ben!

- Really?

- My mom bought my ticket.

Your mom buys you everything.

Maybe they're all in another room.

Wait here, I'll go and check.

Hoth Wampa!

Leave your bag there,

why don't you?

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Is anybody here?

I've come for breakfast!

Hello?

Ugh! Messy pigs...

'Tug '13s'

- What are you doing?

- I got bored of waiting.

Nobody's here.

Something's wrong.

Nothing's wrong.

Look, sausages!

Are you sure those were

just sleeping tablets?

'Cause I'm very

confused right now.

Calm down,

we're just running late.

What? The entire hotel?

There must have been

a fire alarm or something.

They've evacuated

the place without us.

What if this is it?

What if it's the big one?

A zombie attack!

Oh, god, what if this is zombies?

'Cause even though

I love zombies,

I also really hate zombies.

Ridiculous.

There's got to be

a logical explanation.

Vampires!

That would be logical!

It's daylight now -

they'll all be asleep!

It's not vampires...

You don't think

it could be -

Don't say "gryphons".

It could be gryphons...

or a gas leak.

Which is the most likely?

Gryphons.

Let's look outside.

Right, we've got to

get back here for 2:00.

I'm not missing Xena,

not like we did in Leicester.

Come on!

Careful! I haven't been

to the toilet yet!

Stephen...

I'm starting to think...

somethings wrong.

Hello!

It isn't just me.

New York should be busy, right?

Hello!

This is like "I Am Legend"!

Hey, maybe we'll meet Will Smith!

I'd ask him why

he made "After Earth".

Okay, I'm bored of walking now.

Yes!

This is mental!

I know! Who has a burger

without catsup?

This is the city that never sleeps!

Well, they all finally went to bed.

Must be exhausted.

There's a big slug

in this burger, Ben!

Mine's alright.

I hate slugs, Ben.

I hate them!

So we're not the only ones...

- What do you mean?

- There's slugs as well.

We're not, like,

completely alone!

Oh, my God! What if it's

just us and loads of slugs?

- Loads of slugs?

- Yeah!

And there's a giant queen slug,

and it's like a battle for Earth,

just us versus the slugs and -

Oh, there's ants there, as well.

Forget the ants! The people!

Where are the people?

I've still got a signal.

It must be on the news.

It doesn't say anything!

- Who are you calling?

- Who do you think?

Terry.

- Terry?

- Yeah, Terry, who I play football with.

Why would I call him?

He runs the pub quiz on Thursdays.

He knows pretty much everything.

I'm calling 911, Ben.

There's nothing!

You calling Terry?

I'm calling my mum.

- Have you got Terry's number?

- I'm not calling Terry!

- You call Terry.

- No way! It'll cost a fortune!

Nobody's picking UP-

Who are you calling?

Terry.

Hi, Terry. Alright, mate?

It's Ben. How you doin'?

Anyway, when you get this message,

give me a shout.

It's about New York.

Alright, bye.

He's not there.

There's got to be somebody...

Okay, none of my family

are picking up.

I can't believe how tall

these buildings are!

I'd look too,

but I've got height-o-phobia.

What?

Height-0-phobia - the disease

where you're scared of heights!

Anything?

Everybody is gone!

- Oh my God!

- What?

The Statue of Liberty!

I didn't know that was in New York.

You're an idiot.

There's nothing on the news,

or the BBC, CNN...

Nothing!

It can't be that bad, then.

Wait a second...

These websites

haven't been updated in hours -

none of them!

It's like there hasn't been any news

since seven this morning.

This is insane!

What are you doing?

That's someone's lunch!

What's the problem?

There's nobody here.

We can't start looting!

Who's there?

I'm getting cold.

Yeah, we should have

brought our coats.

Can't we just

borrow some new ones?

It wouldn't hurt, would it?

Just a couple of coats?

Guess a couple of coats

wouldn't hurt...

As long as it's just

a couple of coats.

We should've put masks on.

We've just stolen a load of stuff, Ben.

It's against the law!

You want some ham?

They just don't evacuate

the city of all the people.

Yeah, why?

They must be expecting

something to happen -

something bad...

'HGFVPhOns!

'Gryphons!"

This could be a nuclear attack!

Let's get our things

and get out of here.

Where are we going?

We're going to the airport.

The airport? I want to see

the Golden Gate Bridge!

We're in New York!

Did you even go to school?

Yeah, you sat next to me

in geography...

I got an "E".

"E" for excellent!

Why do we have to

go to the airport?

We're in New York!

I want to see the Nicks

score a home run.

"The Nicks?"

There's not even a Nick.

You're not staying.

This place is really messed up.

I'd feel a lot safer

if I had a gun.

You having a gun

does not make me feel safe.

I had the highest score

in House of the Dead.

You'd end up shooting me -

Yes, hello? Hello?

MESSAGE." Have you been

injured at Work, at home,

or even just walking

around outside?

Then you may be entitled

to a free insurance claim!

If you would like

more information,

please say Wes",

and one of our operators

will call you back.

Yes, please call me back.
