What does that leave us with?

- This one.

- No!

-She opens her mouth again,

put a f***ing bullet in it.

- Please no, I...

stopped the boat to help you!

-Alright sweetheart.

- Don't you touch her!

- Don't f***ing talk to me,

are you f***ing insane?

Come on.

-It's all right.

We're all one big happy family here, eh?

We can find a place for

you in the family.

You should be thanking me.

You know, there's people in the river who

make us look like f***ing teddy bear.

-Don't you move, you sick f***er!

-Okay, just...

calm down, mate. Peace out. Don't

do anything hasty, we've got

food, if you're going up river,

you're gonna need weapons,

Just take what you need,

and go.

F***ing... b*tch!

- Stop it!

F***! Ah!

-Guys! Ricky! Cowen!

Cowen, we've got company!

-Unlatch the devils ...stir the

tower walls...goodness..

It's all virtue in our shape?

Our kind is lost.

-Get down!

-Get up!

Turn it around now!

- Cowen.

-Into the water!

Now!

- F***!

-Hey join us!

You shall not take me!

-F***ing...

F***!

The boat's holed.

We're gonna have to

proceed on foot.

-For god's sake..

-This is Chloe Murdock reporting.

Cowen says that we're not far

from the rendezvous point.

We've been walking for hours.

Hopefully we'll rest soon.

-Where's that coming from?

-There.

It's a girl.

It's...

got brown hair.

-Phill...

-Adam, we don't know.

-Phill!

-Adam!

-Phil!

-Adam?

-What are you doing?

-She went that way.

-Phill...

Phill...

-Is it her?

Is it Phill?

-It's not her.

-Adam?

-Adam, it's okay.

Adam she...she was dying anyway.

-Adam...

-Cowen...

Adam, no!

-Adam, no...no, Adam!

Adam, she was going to die!

She was gonna die. That was

an act of mercy, okay?

Okay?

-You alright?

-Yeah.

-Do you guys need a rest?

-I'm okay.

-You sure?

-Okay, guys.

Another half and hour.

And then we'll camp up.

-Guys, is it abandoned?

-Chloe, stay close.

-Okay, okay.

Please be careful.

-Go, move.

-Shh, Adam...on me.

It's clear.

It's clear!

-I can f***ing hear rats.

-Follow it.

-Yeah?

-Adam...help him.

-Hi, mum.

It looks like we found a sanctuary.

That's what they did in the good old

days, right? You know. Come to a church,

you know, no matter

what you've done,

where no one could get you,

I mean, this one doesn't have a roof,

Uh...but you know, they're lighting a fire,

and...uh...

you know...I even heard

a rumor that there's

gonna be crumpets on

the cards lately.

So, if I promise to save you one,

you'll promise me you'll

be safe until then.

Right?

Love you.

-Just like old times.

-Oh my god.

That...is the best crumpet

I have ever tasted.

-There's nothing like a

post-apocalyptic crumpet, eh?

One summer,

he...he decided to, um...

to DJ?

-Yeah.

-Sorry.

-It's not funny.

-DJ Kipper.

-Do you remember that song we wrote?

-No.

-Same summer.

-You...yes you do

and I know you do.

-I remember.

-Of course you do.

-Cheeeeeeeeese

on myyyyyyy toooast.

With some buuuuuuuter...

buuuuuuuter...

it tastes so gross...

-That's it.

-I hate you right now.

-Cheeeeeese on my toooast...

With some buuuuuuuter...

buuuuuuuter...

it tastes so gross...

-Sam, Sam, come on, do it.

-Cheeeeeese on my toooast...

With some buuuuuuuter...

-Sam?

-Go see if she's all right.

-My little sister killed someone today.

My little sister's killed a man,

and it's like she doesn't

even give a sh*t.

-Sam...we all had to do

things we didn't want to.

-I don't even recognize her.

it's like she's a shell.

-Sam, why would you say that?

-I can't keep being this

brave and strong

person that everyone

thinks I am, because I'm not!

-Ever since we found

you in the tunnels,

I've noticed exactly just how

much you look after her.

After Chloe. Despite all of this sh*t.

And...

to be honest, I...

I really admire that.

-Thanks

-You've done really well. Okay?

Really.

Inside...get inside!

-Coming out!

-Let's go back! Let's go back!

-It's the rat. Look at the rat.

-Early morning, all the guests

are asleep as you can see.

No one got killed in the night.

All good, except I need to piss.

No you can't come, too.

-Boo!

Keep filming, b*tch!

No one f***ing move, put

the f***ing gun down.

On your feet! On your feet!

Move! Move!

Get the f*** over there!

-Ricky?

Shoot anybody who moves.

Now.

What the f***...are you...doing over here?

-We've been following you.

Did you hear that?

Something that

had made me feel warm inside.

'Cause it does.

-Base to patrol.

-Out here...

Out here I decide.

-Base to patrol, come in please.

Over.

-Out here...I decide...who's

a threat...to the mission.

-I realize you need to be vigilant.

-He realizes! Do you realize?

What the f*** do you

think you realize?

Base patrol, are you receiving? Over.

-Patrol to base, we have five

unidentified adults on the perimeter.

-Five? You couldn't give me one?

Lucky boy.

-Keep your hands where I can see 'em.

Now, I need to know

what the f*** you were...

I know you.

I f***ing know you.

You're Ground zero.

-You're Hungerford.

You got us help.

-F*** it all!

You nut-less monkeys.

You made it.

You look like sh*t, though.

Alright, stand down.

How you doing?

-We're okay.

-Good.

We're looking for our friend.

Phillipa.

Phil?

-What she look like?

-She's small,

Five foot,

brown hair,

-Phillipa.

Pips!

Do you know these people?

Is it them?

Alright, come on, come on,

let's take this inside.

Come inside.

Are you alright?

You're sure? yeah?

Come on, you need to let go.

Come on.

Come on in.

After I got you guys out,

I had to go back in and found a whole

lot of layer of sh*t, I could tell you.

And amongst all that,

was where I found Pips.

We tapped that white wall, ditch one.

Sealed on the ground, by south London.

-We were there two days ago.

-You were there?

How was it?

-What is operation Ascalon?

-How was the base?

-It was destroyed.

-We found a medic.

Helen.

-Why did you leave?

-Tell us about the medic.

-Look.

She wrote on the map, okay?

Before she died, she

circled Manchester.

-That's not a circle.

it's an "O".

"O" for O-negative blood.

The woman you found

was a doctor.

Her name was Helen.

Helen believed that the bugs

inject some sort of parasite

into the bloodstream that

gives them control over you.

And O- negative blood stops the

parasite from being able to do that.

-What? Kills it?

-Maybe kills it.

But it definitely interrupts

its ability to control you.

-We have to go back!

-We can't go back!

Your duty is to the mission.

-Don't you think we have

a f***ing right to know

What the f*** is going on here?

With Ascalon?

-Ascalon.

means f*** all to you, son,

and you best remember that

if you want to stay under my wing, go it?

-Every time I look at her

face I just see death.

-Um...

I need to talk to you

about the blood.

-I'm a monster, Chloe.

Not even Phil can save me now.

-better charge this baby up.

-49.

-Twenty-minutes.

-How could I have handled

this without you, my friend?
