with them than the rest.

[EXHALES]

Move.

You've been

skippin' work.

I'm not a cleaner.

[CHUCKLES]

You know..

...I knew people

like you..

...before the outbreak.

They thought the world

was theirs on a platter.

Lookin' down on

the rest of us.

But here... now..

...I'm in charge.

I decide whether your life

is happy or miserable.

You just have to

learn to obey.

- Is that it?

- No.

Stop harassing

your family.

They don't want you back.

[YELLS]

Get the f*** back.

[EXHALES]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

It's not your world

any more.

[GRUNTS]

[GROANS]

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

[GROWLS]

[PANTING]

[GIGGLES]

He's awake!

It's just kids.

We've been through worse.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

They suit you.

His clothes.

Where were you

last night?

I had to go see

a friend.

I have to go.

Smile, Cillian.

- We love you, ma.

- Smile!

[CHUCKLES]

[GRUNTS]

- Hi.

- Hm.

He suits you, yeah?

- Yeah!

- Cute.

Oh, my God, that

toy is gonna be

the death of me.

- It's trippy, isn't it?

- It is a bit, yeah.

[SKYPE CALL]

Abbie. How's it going?

Did you get my footage?

The withdrawal's

started already

whatever talks they're

having are bullshit.

Yeah, yeah, I got it,

but look, um..

It's just not a story of

interest for us right now.

No, it's too soon,

I'm telling you

the country isn't ready.

The Resistant

are still alive

it's not safe yet.

Tell that to

the families here.

Look, I... I do have

something for you to cover.

The first McDonalds

is reopening.

I need some coverage.

If it's beneath you,

I can..

Despite protests,

the humane elimination

of the resistant 25%

is now under way

with the military

estimating it will be

completed by the end

of the week.

[GROWLING]

[GATE CREAKING]

Abbie.

Sorry, I'm a friend

of Senan's.

From quarantine?

What gave it away?

I was working

and I just saw you.

Anyway, it's nice

to finally meet you.

Was Senan with

you last night?

[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]

It must have been tough.

Raising a child alone

through the outbreak.

I managed.

Of course.

I didn't mean

anything by it.

I'm sorry.

It's just force of habit.

I guess being a cleaner wasn't

your top career choice, huh?

[CHUCKLES]

No.

I'm a barrister.

I was actually running for

election before all this.

Well, maybe you can

run again.

No, I doubt it.

It's nice

to have your vote.

How did you get that?

This?

Um, I was late for work.

You have to complain.

The guy we complain to has a

pretty decent right hook.

What was it like?

Quarantine?

No, before that.

Why don't you ask Senan?

I can't.

Everyone says it's hell.

It's like being trapped

inside your body.

Fighting to stop yourself.

But what they

don't talk about..
