Synopsis: Six years ago NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples, but crashed upon re-entry over North America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the creatures"...... Our story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US border.

is driven

by seasonal change.

Scientists say that more than 100 migrate

at this time of year.

Whatever you call them,

their population is expanding.

Well, should we go grab a cocktail?

It's gonna be dark,

so we should...

Yeah, but look.

It's fine.

This town isn't gonna get hit

for another two days.

But isn't that kind of

like the weatherman

who says it's not gonna rain,

and then all of a sudden it rains?

The meteorologist?

There was this guy

that lived next door to me

when I was attempting to go to college...

- a big stoner.

- Mm-hmm?

His name was Joel.

I was like, "Joel,

what are you doing?"

He's like, "Well, I'm working

to be a meteorologist,

'cause it's the only job that I can be wrong

every day and not get fired."

Joel... he had a wife,

and you could just

tell that she was gonna leave him.

You know those couples

you look at

that are just destined

for failure?

On Monday we told you about the efforts

to shore up security

at the nation's ports.

And the government says

great strides have been made,

but critics contend

that crossings in and out

of the infected zone

are potentially very porous.

In other news today,

the government issued

a 400-page report

examining just what happened

to the crashed space probe

nearly six years ago.

While all scientists now agree...

Hi, Mommy and Daddy aren't in,

so leave a message.

Hey, buddy,

it's... it's me.

I just wanted to call and wish you

a happy birthday.

I'm not gonna be able

to call you tomorrow.

So happy birthday, bud.

And I promise I'll call you

in a couple of weeks

when I land somewhere.

Okay.

Who was that?

That was reception.

They just said my room was ready.

Oh, that's good.

That means

you can get out now

so I can put my dirty

clothes back on.

I was just gonna

lay here for...

All right.

So meet outside

in like half an hour?

Thanks.

Dos. All right here.

We gotta do it right

if we're gonna do it.

Muchas gracias.

Oh my God,

that's really good.

Aqu venden tequila?

Ah, s s s.

Fill that up.

S s.

Muy bien.

Whoa, what are those?

Sold.

Oh yeah!

The vibe just changed.

Look at all these people.

How are you feeling?

Okay.

You want

to get out of here?

So what are you gonna

do tomorrow?

I'm gonna go home,

see my fianc,

get married

and live happily ever after.

You're gonna have

a lot more fun tomorrow than I'm having.

When are you guys

getting married?

I don't know.

We haven't set a date.

Oh.

- We're celebrating here.

- Cheers.

Cheers.

Give back our homes.

Stop the bombing.

Give back our homes.

Paren el bombardeo.

Devulvanos nuestras casas.

Stop the bombing.

Give back our homes.

Gareth Edwards

Sir Gareth Owen Edwards, CBE (born 12 July 1947) is a Welsh former rugby union player who played scrum-half and has been described by the BBC as "arguably the greatest player ever to don a Welsh jersey".In 2003, in a poll of international rugby players conducted by Rugby World magazine, Edwards was declared the greatest player of all time. In 2007, former England captain Will Carling published his list of the '50 Greatest Rugby players' in The Daily Telegraph, and ranked Edwards the greatest player ever, stating; "He was a supreme athlete with supreme skills, the complete package. He played in the 1970s, but, if he played now, he would still be the best. He was outstanding at running, passing, kicking and reading the game. He sits astride the whole of rugby as the ultimate athlete on the pitch".Edwards was prominent in the Welsh national team that was to the fore in European rugby in the '60s and '70s. He is one of a small group of Welsh players to have won three Grand Slams including Ryan Jones, Adam Jones, Gethin Jenkins, Gerald Davies and J. P. R. Williams.In the 2007 New Year Honours, Edwards became a CBE for services to sport. He was knighted in the Queen's Birthday Honours of 2015, for services to sport and for charitable services. more…
