Doomsday
KANE:
Like so manyepidemics before,
the loss of so many lives
began with a single
microscopic organism.
It's human nature to seek even
the smallest comfort in reason
or logic for events
as catastrophic as these.
But a virus doesn't
choose a time or place.
It doesn't hate
or even care.
(SCREAMING)
It just happens.

(HELICOPTER WHIRRING)
(PEOPLE SHOUTING)
MAN ON MEGAPHONE:
Go back to your homes!
KANE:
The Reaper virusspread among the population
of Glasgow
like a common cold.
There was no stopping it.
No cure. No vaccine.
It claimed the lives
of thousands in
the first week.
This is the end of the world!
KANE:
In an attemptto quell the outbreak,
martial law was implemented.
Roadblocks set up.
Curfews enforced.
KATHERINE:
Come on, darling.We have to walk now.
The airports, seaports
and borders were closed.
Scotland was placed
under quarantine.
The people were ordered
to stay in their homes, to
avoid travel, avoid contact,
to sit it out
and wait for help
that did not come.

You got to
let us through!
Get out of the way! Move!

Walk on, will you?
Hey, you! You!

Get down on
the floor now!
(PEOPLE SCREAMING)
Everybody, down!
Don't shoot!

(GRUNTING)

So she'll know!
Hold on tight,
sweetheart!
Eden!

KANE:
The wallstood 30 feet high,
It followed the line of
2,000 years before,
spanning 18 miles,
east coast to west,
cutting Britain in half.
Coastal waters were mined
and patrolled. The skies
were declared a no-fly zone,
shoot down any aircraft in
violation of the quarantine.
The idea was simple.
Nobody came out,
and nobody went in.
They needn't have worried
about the second part.
Those abandoned within
the quarantine zone
were left to die.
Social order decayed
along with the corpses.
The streets ran with blood
as the people fought
to stay alive.
The bodies burned
in their thousands. Looting,
Fire spread as the cities
were plundered,
and the last to die
became primal savages,
feeding on dogs, rats
and finally, on each other.
As the weeks turned to months,
the funeral pyres
faded and died.
In time, all the lights
burned out,
consigning the country north
of the wall first to memory
and eventually to history.
But just as the government
had turned its back
on the hot zone,
so the rest of the world
turned its back on Britain.
With hundreds of thousands
unemployed, homeless
and destitute,
the situation has reached
breaking point.
It now remains only
a matter of time
before the laws of nature
seek to redress the balance.
Targets are in play.
MICHAELSON:
Start recording.

is the biggest slave
trader in the city.
