The Rezort

-Is this the right road?

-I guess.

-The guy said it was.

-He said there was a turn. There. Left.

Any good?

-You do realise how big this story is?

-Standing by.

Are you on with Jan? Let me talk to him.

Jan, it's Terri.

Are you going to cut in for us, yes?

Don't give me that. This is huge.

Look, my source is good. It's happening.

Thank you.

They are cutting us in.

Are you ready?

Beyond the horizon

is the world-famous Rezort,

where, if our sources are to be believed,

there was a serious security breach

late last night.

As a result, reports are coming through,

not yet denied,

that a Brimstone protocol

has been activated.

[different languages]

The second-known use of the Brimstone

protocol in the last ten years.

That's right, John.

It is only considered if there is

a genuine risk of another outbreak.

[different languages]

The chromosyn-A outbreak

ten years ago

was the deadliest pandemic

the world has ever known.

A virus that kills people

and brings them back to life.

A virus that creates wars

between the living and the dead.

The most brutal and vicious war

that humanity has ever waged.

A virus

that annihilates two billion people.

Two billion people.

[overlapping news reports]

The Brimstone protocol was the cure.

So, why the need to use it again

after seven years of rebuilding

free from infection?

The last place on Earth

where they can be found,

the Rezort is a sun-drenched island

where guests can pay to shoot the undead.

Vengeance, baby! Vengeance!

Still no comment

from the Rezort's parent company.

No questions!

An outbreak at the Rezort would be

utterly catastrophic, wouldn't it?

If true, yes, but look,

what can't be overstated

is the pioneering vision

of Rezort CEO Valerie Wilton.

[Urdu]

Who is Valerie Wilton?

She has been described as many things.

[French, Spanish]

She used the undead left roaming her

island when the rest had been destroyed

to create jobs,

to stimulate the economy...

We are now hearing rumours

that the army has been called in

to evacuate this airport

and the refugee camp surrounding it.

The camp, which is run by Hope 4 U,

is one of dozens set up by the charity

around the world

to help cope with the humanitarian

disaster that the outbreak sparked.

And if the protocol fails, what then?

Well, we will do exactly

what we did last time.

Dropping bombs on hundreds

of innocent people?

Young lady,

you get gangrene in your foot,

you sacrifice your whole leg

to save the rest.

You lost this argument a long time ago.

That's why the people are behind us

because the people understand

that a sharp knife cuts quick.

[overlapping]

The question that remains is,

in this age of relative optimism,

with humanity almost back on our feet,

if an exclusive island paradise

with a billion-dollar security

can be overrun, then what hope--

[planes soar by]

There, confirmation, if more were needed,

that something has gone very seriously

wrong at...

[door]

You're not still hear from the outbreak

survivor's support group thing, are you?

It's just I've got to lock up now. Didn't

you see the guy turn off the lights?

No, I didn't. Thanks, though.

You at the Rezort, seriously?

Yeah. Someone shared at the group

who'd been and it really helped them.

And for the first time, I am thinking

it might be right for me too because...

If I can't get over this, then...

I am just going to fade away.

Alone, because you will have left me

for someone who isn't completely mental.

Hey. Won't happen. I am with you.

100 per cent.

You won't have to anything or go anywhere.

It was the war, Mel. It affected us all.

Hmm?

-You'd love something like this.

-I'd f***ing smash it!

[gasps]

[sighs]

I'm sorry.

I don't know how you got through it.

[sighs]

I just looked forward.

Kept my eye on what's important:

the future.

And what's it like?

Killing them?

Depends.

Mostly, it just feels right.

Go back to sleep.

I'm OK.

[siren]

Melanie, honey.

I know you're angry with me.

Honestly, I never wanted to leave you.

If you're watching this, you're safe.

That's all that matters to me.

You're such a good person, kind, caring,

always have been.

I am going to tell you some things

and I need you to listen to me, OK?

The world I raised you to live in,

it's gone.

When we talked about right and wrong,

it doesn't matter any more.

People have changed,

and I need you to change too.

Fit in or they will pick you out as weak,

and I need you to stay strong,

I need you to fight,

and keep on fighting

long after this war is over.

[banging]

I know this is going to be hard for you.

But you have to promise me, baby,

promise me that you will stay strong.

[screaming, then TV off]

[plane roars]

[airport announcements]

Passports, please.

We have a nice lounge area.

And the boat to the Rezort is scheduled

to start soon, so please relax.

Enjoy yourself.

You've got to let me

give you something towards this.

It's OK. I can afford it. Kind of.

You're doing this for me anyway.

No, you're right. It is a real chore.

Relax. Enjoy yourselves.

So, the island was totally overrun?

Oh, yeah, recon unit found it

after the war teeming with shufflers.

Wilton's group bid for clean-up relief,

built the Rezort instead. Now, that is

spotting a market and exploiting it.

Zero outlay. Millions in mark-up.

I am all about making sure that you are

on the ground level for the next Rezort.

People be proper old!

Yeah, but... F*** me.

I would tap that until it fell off.

Dude!

Yo, I meant my dick not her arse.

Either way, man!

Travelling alone?

Yep, afraid so.

Wedding present. Tickets arrived on time.

Pity the fianc didn't.

Non-refundable, so...

Well, you came to exactly the right place

to be working out any anger.

Oh, yeah, let's hope

that they all look just like him.

[Mel giggles]

Hello.

[giggles]

[Arabic]

I can't believe it's still such a problem.

Well, at least they are getting

some sort of help these days.

If you could all follow me, thank you!

We're up.

[chatter and laughter]

[inaudible]

[woman] Welcome to the Rezort.

Would you like some champagne?

[shouting]

[Jack] Yes, yes, yes, go!

[Alfie] Whoa! Whoa!

[low chatter]

[woman]

Lewis and Melanie? My name is Isabel.

Welcome to the Rezort.

How was your flight?

[low chatter]

And this is your living room.

And the bedroom.

-Anything you need, call our concierge.

-[Lewis] Thank you.

There will be cocktails by our pool

for new guests at six.

-Very nice.

-Is everything satisfactory?

Yes, thank you.

Don't forget.

Your orientation starts shortly.

Orientation?

[gunshots]

[yells]

Whoa!

Sprayed it like a total newb!

Check it, bruv!

[instructor] Cease fire!

Weapons down.

Whoa!

Safety glasses off, ear defenders off.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.

Please make your way

out of the firing range.

Ladies and gentlemen,

welcome to the firing range.

Please take a booth each.

Safety glasses on, ear defenders on.
