The Carrier Page #3

Craig!

A plane, did you see?

Who else would be up here?

I thought there were no flights in

after the second wave?

I dunno.

Could they be hostile?

I'll see if Tobias has made contact.

[White noise]

[Knocks on door]

Any contact?

This is flight 86 from London,

do you read? Over.

This is captain Tobias black, of flight 86

from London, do you copy, over?

Radio:
This is flight 108 from Darwin,

captain Terri Holmes speaking.

Good to know there's someone else up here!

Copy that, flight 108.

You're a long way from home,

what's your destination?

Terri:

Uh, Greenland.

But we need to make a pit stop

as soon as possible.

I was going to stop in

Europe, but it was uh...

Messy?

Messy...

Switzerland's still clear,

but it's a no-fly zone.

I hear they've got trigger-happy.

You could say that.

How's the UK doing?

Bad news, I'm afraid.

The major internationals are overrun.

This plane's seen better days,

but it uh, was our only option.

How are you holding up?

It's been a long day.

You're not doing shifts?

No, no such luck...

My co-pilot didn't show up.

Tobias?

That's a hell of a journey on your own.

Yeah.

There have been a few...

Close calls.

Darwin was the last clean city in oz.

We got out before the infection struck,

headed for Singapore.

We heard that it was clear.

And was it?

- We never found out.

We refueled, and the military escorted us

from their airspace.

Have you got supplies?

- Fully stocked, thanks.

How about you?

- How many on board?

Uh, a small and select group.

Seven... passengers.

Eight including me.

Sounds cosy.

Where are you headed?

I hear Greenland's the place to go.

Now isn't that a coincidence.

It is, um.

Maybe we should pool resources.

Oh, do you have any resources to pool?

Rumour has it, you're

in need of a co-pilot.

And, I suppose my side of the deal would be

the plane and the hold full of supplies?

Well...

Now you mention it...

May I escort you to the airport?

It's a date.

Look, turbulence ahead.

Copy that.

Jess:

James...

You said she was dead!

Jess?

Jess!

[Phone rings]

They've got a problem.

Eric!

Jess.

Jess?

Can you hear me? Jess?

Jess:

James...

is that you?

Are you ok?

I'm sorry.

I'm so, so sorry.

Jess:

Are you infected?

No.

I'm ok.

It's good to hear your voice.

Jess:

I'm soared.

It's ok, darling.

I'm coming for you.

I can't leave her on her own, please.

Help me!

Step away.

Jess:

No.

What?

Don't come back here.

Listen to your wife.

Jess:

James.

You've got to keep going.

- I can't.

For me.

I need you.

Promise me.

Whatever happens,

you won't come back here.

Are you in pain?

I'm ok.

Tired.

Close your eyes.

I'm here.
