The Carrier Page #3

You can help Larry.

Fuel? We need to get supplies.

Find shelter.

This plane isn't going anywhere.

Larry will sort it.

You're not listening!

- Eric.

If you're not going to help us,

you're free to go.

What are you doing?

I'll keep watch.

They'll be here soon.

As soon as you're finished

back there I, um...

I need you to keep an eye on James.

He's not stable.

Good.

Glad you're on board.

[Engine starts]

I keep seeing...

I can remember more.

Larry...

Oh god, David!

I saw him jump!

Why would he do that?

I don't know.

Why didn't he bring his family with him?

Maybe they were infected.

What about you?

Did you ask anyone?

No... I move around a lot with work.

It's hard to keep in touch with people.

Do you think they keep

the fuel trucks in there?

Worth a try.

[Eric screams]

Monster!

[Jess screams]

Stay back!

Sh*t.

Stay back!

Help me!

That's enough, Jess!

Noooooo!

Let's go.

This way.

Come on.

Newsreader:
And a complete lack of co-ordinated

response from the international community.

This week, the world health organization

issued another global alert

as the second wave of the infection

spread at an unprecedented rate.

Despite calls for individuals

to remain isolated

cases have been confirmed

in an additional twenty-seven countries.

The cry of 'too little, too late'

comes from the public

as the remaining governments

scramble to prevent further spread.

With the source of the infection

still unknown

prominent members

of the scientific community

are pointing their fingers

at the pharmaceutical companies

and countries where inappropriate use of antibiotics

has led to an antimicrobial resistance.

The late doctor David Scott.

Of the sepsis trust

was the last person to speak publically

about the infection

before the infection reached Geneva.

There is no known treatment.

Resistant bacteria have evolved the ability to

withstand attack from antimicrobial medicines.

This infection is fatal.

The rate at which this infection

is spreading is unprecedented. - Craig!

You must now allow the scientific community

time to focus our efforts and resources

on finding treatment

for this infection. Excuse me.

Newsreader:
European policy of strict isolation

was earlier today declared a failure...

Screwdriver.

What are you looking for?

Something to put Jess' body in.

[Kevin laughs]

Tobias thinks he's going to a country club.

When in doubt, always pick a six.

You're supposed to be helping Larry.

Hey!

Hey!

Stay down!

We're not infected!

On your feet, both of you. Hands!

We're telling the truth.

Let me see you.

What are you doing here?

We landed in a 747.

What's your name?

Clarkson.

Kate.

We just need to refuel

and then we're taking off.

You won't have long, anyone for miles

will have seen that plane land.

Why were you shooting at us?

Chances are you're infected and it's better to

shoot on sight, put you out of your misery.

We're not infected, you can trust us.

We're going to Greenland, you should come.

I've got a boat not far from here, why don't

you come with me? I've got supplies for two.

She's with us!

You think this poor excuse of a man will

protect you when the infected hoards arrive?

I can look after myself.

Don't.

Suit yourself.

Better go with him.

I should take the gun... to be safe.

The gun's staying with me.

Eric?

You with me?

- Eric?

You what? It's me, Kate.

No no no, we need

to get back to the plane!

What, why?

Eric... it was Eric.

He sabotaged the plane.

What?

I remember... before we landed.

I saw him in the hold.

He tried to kill us.

[Engine stutters]

James:

Oh!

I wanted to... thank you.

What for?

Back there.

Saving me.

I didn't save you.

I saved her.

[Engine starts]

Come in.

Over radio:

Go ahead.

I can see the plane.

Over radio:

How many on board?

Can't tell.

There's someone keeping watch.

Over radio:

Armed?

Wes:

I heard a gunshot on my way here.

Should I go closer?

Over radio:
Stay where you are... The

others will join you as soon as they can.

Understood.

I'm going to see if the keys are in there.

Yeah. Good luck with that.

Where's Eric?

Did you find fuel?

No, is he with you?

He went with James.

There's no way you're

going to get through that chain.

James:

Hopefully won't need to.

Give me your Baton.

Please.

Eric, can you...

Radio announcer:
In the interest

of national and international safety

it is requested that all survivors

do not attempt to travel

as this will increase the risk

of the infection spreading...

[Riot sounds]

Protester:
They pumped

us with their drugs.

Pumped our meat full of drugs.

Guess what...

Now they're listening!

The first wave took those we love...

The second wave will take us all!

We're done for!...

You sure?

He was tearing the place apart.

He wanted us to land.

I know what he's playing at now.

You said he went with James.

We have to find him.

If he's alive...

[Truck approaches]

Where's James?

- We were attacked...

They followed us. - Enough, Eric,

enough! You nearly killed us!

You wouldn't listen.

You were going to spread the infection!

- Don't you want to survive?

We all make sacrifices.

I'm...

I'm trying to save humanity!

- He's insane!

As long as you keep flying around,

you're taking the infection with you!

We've got to stay here! Contain it!

One more step, Eric!

You're not a hero, Craig!

You're an idiot!

[Truck pulls away]

Why did you let him go?

I would've shot him.

You would've missed.

We're going to need those bullets...

[Radio activates]

Over radio:
We'll be with you soon.

Wait for my signal.

Received.

How long do you think we have?

I dunno.

We'll have to keep watch.

We've been on the ground too long.

I'm doing all I can.

You know the last words

of captain Benjamin Briggs?

What?

They found his ship

floating in calm waters.

Table set for high tea.

Six months' supplies in the hold.

I haven't got time for this.

But they couldn't find a trace of his

ship's crew, in the clear warm waters.

Not a single bone.

Why would a man

jump from a lifeboat?

Because he's weak.

Do you see the flares?

There's a crowd on their way.

So what do we do?

Those flares have signaled our position.

We're going to have a fight on our hands.

It's James!

They're closing in on him!

Maria!

[Assailant screams]

Get out the f***ing car!

Get out the f***ing car!

Stop!

Don't shoot!

For god's sake man, stop shooting!

That truck's full of

fuel, you bloody idiot!

What do you want me to do?

Hey? Hey, I'm talking to you!

That's my wife, man!

- I know.

Get your wife back on the plane!

[Maria whimpers]

How many more of you are there?

Just three of us... that's Brian and me.

Brian?

The one you shot in the head.

Can you walk?

Go on.

Well, keep walking!

You don't want me to change my mind.

If I see you again, I will kill you!

More will come.

And they'll know where to find us.

It's Eric!

Go and stop him,

we'll refuel as fast as possible.
