Why not? He's one of us.

If what we heard happens,

I know he will try and find his family,

and he will die trying.

I'm sorry,

but you've gotta trust me on this.

It's not right.

Kayne, we need him.

- SITREP.

- Not good.

The forest is f***ing

full of those things.

Can we make it through?

All right, let's move.

Come on, let's go.

Leeann, I need your help.

Take these.

Kayne, Carter, right flank.

Jones, Leeann, with me.

- Prepare to move.

- Ready.

Ready.

- Ready.

- Move!

- Covering fire!

- Go!

Go!

Cover!

Covering fire!

On me!

Follow me!

Let's get the f*** out of here.

No sign.

We're clear for now.

They'll be following.

These f***ers are slow,

but they don't give up.

Leeann, you did good.

- Maddox, I'm freezing.

- I know.

Don't worry, we'll start a fire.

This is a good place to rest.

We can see anything coming.

We're close, maybe one or two klicks

till we're through the forest.

We'll come across a couple of villages.

Good. Maybe we can find a set of wheels.

Doubtful, but we do need food and water.

This is pretty much the last of it.

We'll have a look at daybreak,

but I'm not taking any chances.

I don't like it out here.

It feels too open.

Be glad when we get to the coast.

The people at Hope's Point

know what they're doing.

Yeah.

I just wanna leave places

like London behind now.

Have you got any family there?

Yeah.

It scares me,

the thought of ever going back.

- Married?

- No.

Just Mom and Dad.

I wanted a career back then.

All seems so pointless now.

I had a wife and a daughter.

Up in Manchester.

Wish I knew where they are.

Just need to find out what happened,

you know?

Jonesy.

Here, give me that.

- So, what about you?

- What do you mean?

It's about time you tell us

a bit about yourself?

Yeah, mate, you've been

asking us a lot of questions.

OK.

My wife left me three years ago.

Uh, I suppose it was

my own fault, really.

I was always away on work.

Looks like you still are.

Yeah.

I suppose it's all I got left now.

But it's important, isn't it?

To document all this.

Any other family?

Just my dad.

He went to America

a few years ago, and, uh...

...I haven't heard

from him since Christmas.

It was just a card.

And no kids, actually.

It's a pretty good job, considering,

isn't it? All this, what's happened.

- Don't go asking Corp.

- Why? What's the big secret?

It's no secret.

Well?

- You really wanna know?

- Yeah, I really wanna know.

I was a schoolteacher.

A teacher? Are you serious?

Yeah.

Taught geography

to secondary school kids.

Just a regular job like everyone else.

But I'll say this. Um...

I'm sorry, Jonesy, but you're wrong.

Kids are our only hope now.
