28 Days Later... Page #5

Synopsis: Animal activists invade a laboratory with the intention of releasing chimpanzees that are undergoing experimentation, infected by a virus -a virus that causes rage. The naive activists ignore the pleas of a scientist to keep the cages locked, with disastrous results. Twenty-eight days later, our protagonist, Jim, wakes up from a coma, alone, in an abandoned hospital. He begins to seek out anyone else to find London is deserted, apparently without a living soul. After finding a church, which had become inhabited by zombie like humans intent on his demise, he runs for his life. Selena and Mark rescue him from the horde and bring him up to date on the mass carnage and horror as all of London tore itself apart. This is a tale of survival and ultimately, heroics, with nice subtext about mankind's savage nature.

I can't sleep.

Me neither.

Doesn't feel safe, does it?

Outside like this.

I think we're safe enough.

Selena didn't seem to have any trouble.

Yeah, I noticed that.

Hey, Selena...

What? What is it?

How'd you get to sleep?

Bloody hell. Must've needed

a hell of a prescription for that lot.

I didn't need a prescription.

I qualified as a chemist.

Oh, great. Valium.

Not only will we be able to get to sleep

but if we're attacked in the middle

of the night, we won't even care.

- Two each.

- Not for me, thanks.

Can I, Dad?

I don't think so, sweetheart.

Please?

- No.

- I can't sleep.

Come on, Frank. Let her live a little.

- Give her half of one.

- All right. We're on.

Night-night.

You're a big softie, Frank.

Frank?

Hannah?

Frank?

Hello? Hello!

Hello!

Hello! Hello!

Shh...

You're having a bad dream, that's all.

Thanks, Dad.

Come on, sleepyhead.

Come on, Babe Ruth.

Hurry up.

- Did I miss breakfast?

- You'll sleep through anything.

- Did you have a fry-up?

- We'll stop at a pub on the way. Door!

Our location

is the 42nd blockade, the M602,

You must find us. Please!

Salvation is here.

The answer to Infection is here.

Must be Manchester.

The whole of Manchester, the whole city.

No fire crews to put it out.

This is it.

I don't understand, Dad.

Did they leave?

- I don't like this. I think we should go.

- No!

Vehicles. We should check the vehicles.

There has to be something.

Nothing.

I can't believe it.

Frank...

Frank!

- We have to go.

- Yeah.

Go f***ing where?!

Get out of it.

Get out of it!

Dad, are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine, sweetheart.

Sorry I lost my temper.

Hannah...

I love you very much.

- What?

- Keep away from me.

Stay where you are.

- Dad?

- Keep away from me! Keep away from me!

Keep away! Keep away! Keep away!

- Dad!

- Keep away! Keep away!

What's wrong? Dad!

Jim! Jim, he's infected!

- No!

- Now, Jim! Now!

- Jim, kill him! Jim!

- Dad!

Kill him!

Stay away from him!

Keep away from the body!

Dad?

Three survivors. One male, two female.

I repeat, one male, two female.

ETA, 15.

Put the kettle on.

I'm Major Henry West.

- Welcome.

- Jim.

Hello, Jim.

Hello.

Well, we've got beds with clean sheets

and a boiler that produces hot water.

So you can all have a shower.

You look like you need one. Please.

It ain't funny. I got loads of cooking to do,

you f***ing Doris!

Run him over!

How is she doing?

She's lost her dad, Jim. That's how she is.

It's all f***ed.

What do you mean?

Oh, don't do that.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hey, don't do that.

Hannah is what Frank says she is. Tough,

strong, and she'll cope just like I'll cope.

- Just like you'll cope.
