SPIKE’S MOTHER: It’s just pounding.
Oh, why don’t you tell me how school was today?
I haven’t been to school, Mum.
It’s the morning.
Is it?
JAMIE: Uh, yeah, it’s the morning, and, uh…
Isla… do you remember?
Spike’s not going to school today.
ISLA: Why not?
Is it the weekend already?
JAMIE: Nah, it’s Friday.
ISLA: So why isn’t he going to school?
We spoke about this.
Few times.
Spoke about what, Jamie?
JAMIE: Me and Spike are going out.
It’s his first time.
ISLA: First time?
Do you mean you’re going off the island, to the mainland?
Yeah.
ISLA: What?
JAMIE: Isla.
What the fuck are you talking about?
JAMIE: All right. Don’t swear. Come on.
[SHOUTS] Have you gone fucking crazy?
He’s a fucking baby!
SPIKE: Mum…
He’s twelve.
Are you trying to kill our fucking baby, you cunt?
Spike, will you go back downstairs, please?
You crazy fucking sick babymurderer.
No, Dad, you go down.
If me dad was still here…
JAMIE: No, I’m telling you.
…he’d skin you alive, babymurderer!
JAMIE: It’ll be better if… All right!
Cunt!
All right. Isla, it’s all right.
Cunt!
All right. He’ll be fine.
Cunt! [WHIMPERING]
SPIKE: Mum…
No.
It’s me.
[GASPS]
ISLA: Spike… Spikey.
Oh, what’s going on? I’m hot.
Why… Why am I feeling so hot?
It’s just the weather, Mum.
ISLA: So hot.
It’s all right.
[ISLA SIGHS]
I got you some breakfast.
It’s a bit of bacon.
Eat a bit when you feel like it.
Are you off?
Yeah.
Where?
School.
Oh.
[EXHALES]
Okay, Spikey.
Oh, I love you.
I love you, too, Mum.
MAN: Morning, kiddo.
Sam.
Just restrung this for you.
Did it need a restring?
Nope. Did it for my own sake, really.
He’ll be fine, Sam.
Have a draw, son.
Feel the weight.
Hold it.
No shake at all.
Strong lad.
[CLEARS THROAT] Howay then, son. Let’s go.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING]
MAN: [LAUGHS] All right. All right.
I’ll see you tonight.
Lives are at stake.
Cheers, lads.
MAN 1: Go on, Jamie!
Good luck, Spike.
Glad you’re getting on now, Spike.
MAN 2: Go on, Spike!
You go well, lad.
[CROWD CHEERING]
This is from Mum.
Thanks, Betty.
Your big party tonight, our Spike. Don’t be late!
Bring him back safe, yeah?
GIRL: Come on, Jamie!
[MOANING]
WOMAN: Look after him, Jamie!
MAN 3: Good luck, Spike.
All right, Jacob.
JAMIE: Look at that, Spike.
You got the whole leadership committee.
You just smile and be polite.
WOMAN: Had to see you off.
We’re all excited for you.
Even though you know I feel he’s a bit young.
Fourteen or fifteen is more in keeping with practice.
He’s ready, Jenny.
Go on, lad.
JENNY: You know the rules of our community, Spike.
If you leave, you can come back.
But if you don’t come back, no one is permitted to go and find you.
There are no rescues. No exceptions.
It was something we learned the hard way…
On account of all the people we lost in the past.
So once you walk onto that mainland, you’re on your own. You understand?
Yes, Jenny.
You seen anything this morning, Ant?
Nothing.
Fully quiet.
All clear?
All clear.
Open up for them.
Good lad.
[WIND WHISTLING]
ANTHONY: Mind how you go, lads. Don’t miss the tide.
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
TAYLOR HOLMES: [ON RECORDING] Seven, six, eleven, five, nineandtwenty mile today
Four, eleven, seventeen, thirtytwo the day before
Boots, boots, boots, boots, moving up and down again!
There’s no discharge in the war!
So, what’s this, Spike?
SPIKE: It’s the causeway.
JAMIE: Talk us through it.
SPIKE: It’s the only way to the mainland.
But we can only get here in low tide.
In high tide, the sea covers it.
JAMIE: Can we swim it in high tide?
SPIKE: No. The sea has a current.
It’ll push us past the island and pull us out to sea, and we’ll drown.
HOLMES: Don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t look at what’s in front of you…
Boots, boots, boots, boots, moving up and down again
Men, men, men, men, men go mad with watchin’ em…
We’ll have four hours before high tide.
Are we doing this?
Can’t go back now, Dad.
Why?
Everyone’ll think I’m soft.
[CHUCKLES]
Aye, they will.
Can’t have that, can we? [CHUCKLES]
Come on, then. [LAUGHS]
HOLMES: Count, count, count, count the bullets in the bandoliers.
If your eyes drop, they will get atop of you!
Boots, boots, boots, boots, moving up and down again
There’s no discharge in the war!
JAMIE: This is where we get all the fuel.
You’ll be working here one day.
HOLMES: Ain’t so bad by day because o’ company,
But night brings long strings o’ forty thousand million
Boots, boots, boots, boots, moving up and down again.
SPIKE: It’s so big.
[SIGHS]
If we kept walking, would we get to a place where you can’t see the sea?
[CHUCKLES] Wey aye.
You’ll walk for days or weeks without seeing the coast.
There’s nothing out there, Spikey.
Nowhere to aim for.
There’s other villages.
Aye, but none have anything we don’t have.
And we stay out the towns and villages.
HOLMES: I have marched six weeks…
JAMIE: Howay.
HOLMES: …in hell an’ certify
It is not fire, devils, dark, or anything, but boots, boots, boots, boots, moving up an’ down again.
[SOFT SNARLING AND GRUNTING]
Try, try, try…
[SNARLING]
…try to think of something different
Oh, my God,
keep me from going lunatic!
Boots, boots, boots, boots, moving up and down again!
There’s no discharge in the war!
[SOFT MOANING]
There, look, look, look, look, look, look.
Slowlow.
Not fast.
Doesn’t mean they aren’t dangerous.
And if there’s one visible, probably a couple more in the trees.
Your bow isn’t strong enough for the chest.
You need to hit it right in the neck.
Okay, Dad.
JAMIE: You scared?
Only a little bit.
Are you?
No. I’m good.
You like this range?
SPIKE: I think so.
Let’s go get your first kill.
[SLURPING AND COOING]
Get him in your sight.
Calculate for wind.
All right.
He’s yours.
Anything that comes out after him is mine.
Send when ready.
[SCREECHES]
Send it.

Beautiful kill, Spike.
You feel good?
Yeah, I think so.
JAMIE: Aye, you should.
I’m proud of ya.
Now come on, we gotta move.
The screaming would have alerted
the other infected in the area.
Go on. Let’s keep going. [LAUGHS]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]
[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC CONTINUES]

[FOX YELPS]
Shit.
[SPIKE PANTING]
It’s always worth looking around for summat useful.
People would have searched this place a hundred times, but you never know.
[PIANO KEYS RATTLE]
Fuckin’ hell.
[CHUCKLING] Oh.
SPIKE: Are these useful?
Nah. Got plenty of that.
But this is.
What is it?
A frisbee.
You never seen a frisbee before?
Aw, it’s great.
You’re gonna love it.

Dad, please.
Spike!
Do as I tell ya.
There’s a lesson for you here.
[COUGHS]
[MUFFLED SCREAM]
[MUFFLED GROWLING]
What happened to him?
Looks like he got tied up and left for the infected.
And now he’s infected.
He’s infected?
[MUFFLED SNARLING]
JAMIE: Aye.
Why would anyone do that?
JAMIE: Maybe a punishment.
Maybe a warning.
There are strange people on the mainland.
Roaming.
That’s why our home is so precious.
Is that the lesson?
No.
Kill it.
[SNARLING CONTINUES]
The more you kill, the easier it gets.
[SIGHS]
Don’t feel bad about it.
The infection takes away their minds.
[SNARLS]
It’s got no mind, it’s got no soul.
Spike.
Kill the bloody thing.
Kill it!
What are you waiting for, Spike?
Now, son!
Spike, finish it!
For Christ’s sake, Spike, fuckin’ kill it!
[GASPING]
Good lad.

SAM: Mind your backs, boys.
Coming through!
Tea time.
Tea time. Well done today.
Great stuff.
Chop chop before it gets dark.
JAMIE: It’s waitin’.
Alphas aren’t like the others.
Not just bigger. Smarter.
SPIKE: What are we gonna do?
Well, we’re not fighting it.
I’ve got no arrows left.
And anyway…
I’ve seen it take a dozen hits to drop one of those things.
So, we’ll wait, too.
I’m really sorry, Dad.
What? What about?
This is all my fault.
I couldn’t hit anything.
What are you talking about?
I tried but I was too scared. And I kept missing.
What are you talking about? This is not your fault.
And you kept shooting.
I’ve seen adults who canna get an arrow in the bow,
they’re shaking so hard.
Not you. Hey, hey, hey…
Spike, you did well.
Honestly.
SPIKE: We’re gonna miss the low tide.
JAMIE: Yeah. Yeah. SPIKE: Aren’t we?
There’ll be another.
Hey, look out to sea.
Here.
Just there.
Quarantine patrol.
Probably French.
[DISTANT CRIES]
Dad…
What’s that?
[SIGHS] Fire.
Something’s burning?
JAMIE: Yeah.
Something.
Is it another village?
Nope.
What is it then?
I don’t know. I’ve never been there.
SPIKE: Does it always burn?
I just said I’ve never been there, Spike.

Get your bum down.
Wake up, we’ve gotta move!
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
It’s all right, son. It’s all right.
Aah! Fuckin’ hell!
[SPIKE COUGHING]
What happened?
Old building.
I dunno. Chimney fuckin’ died on us.
The noise will bring ’em.
We gotta move.
SPIKE: Is it low tide? JAMIE: It’ll be low enough.
We move fast but quiet.
If you see the Alpha, just run straight
for the causeway and over it. All right?
You stop for nothing! Go on!
Where will you be?
Right behind you.
[TENSE MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC STOPS]
[PANTING]
JAMIE: No sign of the Alpha.
SPIKE: It’s still high tide.
JAMIE: Only just.
The water will be shallow. But we can make it.
Shindeep. We’re good. All right.
Take your boots off.
Aye. Line up the gates.
That’s our path.
[BREATHING HEAVILY]
It’s okay. Just breathe.

[GROANS]
Oh.
Spike.
I didn’t expect to see you until past midnight.
Just came to see me mum.
How was she? She all right?
She’s better than all right.
We were up and about.
We walked to the fields.
She’s got a lotta life in her when she’s not having a turn.
But what about your day? Eh?
More to the point.
Dad’s made it out to be something it’s not.
Like what?
Like I’m a hero.
I expect you are, to him.
Just feels like he’s lying.
So what did happen out there?
I shot one of the fat ones.
Ah.
It was hardly moving.
[LAUGHS]
But then we got chased by some of the fast ones,
and I couldn’t hit a thing.
Then we just hid until it got dark.
I was just scared.
Felt sick.
I wanted to be home with me mum.
Your dad probably felt the same.
[SCOFFS]
Tell you what, though, never seen so much land.
Mm.
It was so big.
What did you see?
Well, hills…
Forests…
And a fire.
A fire?
I wonder if you saw old Kelson.
Didn’t imagine he was still alive.
Was it southwest?
Christ. That’ll be Kelson.
[EERIE SCREECH]
Believe it or not,
he used to be my GP
some 30 year back.
What’s a GP?
A doctor.
A doctor?
Aye.
Had his practice just outside Whitley Bay.
Dad said that he didn’t know what the fire was.
And he says all the real doctors are dead.
That’s why no one knows what’s wrong with Mum.
Just feels like he’s lying about everything.
Nah. You know what?
[SAM SIGHS]
He probably didn’t wanna spook you.
Dr. Kelson is… odd.
How is he odd?
What’s so special about the fire?
If your dad doesn’t wanna talk about it,
I don’t think I should.
Why don’t you go back to your party? Eh?
I’m fine here wi’ your mum.
No.
You go.
I’ll look after her now.
Okay.
[BOTH CHUCKLE]
Got ya. [CHUCKLES]
SPIKE: They’re all lying, Mum.
[ROOSTER CROWING]
[ISLA BREATHING HEAVILY]
Spike, will you go to the shops for us?
I need some Nurofen.

ISLA: We’re up here, love.
Well, that was some party.
Absolute carnage.

You look like you’ve been
dragged through a hedge backwards.
JAMIE: Maybe I did.
I woke up in a wheat field.
And where did you disappear to, Spikey?
Looked around and the guest of honor had vanished.
Just came home.
Hey, giantkiller.
[DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]
[PENSIVE EERIE MUSIC CONTINUES]
I’ll make some breakfast.
What’s going on, Spike?
Why didn’t you tell us there was a doctor
that could see Mum?
Doctor?
We don’t have a doctor.
Haven’t had a doctor here in forever.
Dr. Kelson, Dad.
The fire. On the mainland.
Who’ve you been talking to?
[SIGHS] So he is a doctor.
Was it Sam?
Bloody fool.
Putting ideas in your head.
He’s not a doctor, Spike.
Maybe he once was. Years ago.
But he’s long since gone insane.
What do you mean?
Is he a doctor or not?
Before you were born, we used to forage.
But it got harder, you know, so you’d have to travel further.
And one day, it took a group of us close to Kelson’s.
Right?
Aye. 500 yards out, we started to smell death.
Now understand, we were well used to that smell.
Back then, the dead were everywhere.
But this… this was totally different.
This stench was like… it was like a wall.
You could touch it.
And we got to the brow of this hill, and we looked down…
[JAMIE SCOFFS]
I’ve never seen anything like it.
[EERIE MUSIC CONTINUES]
Corpses.
Hundreds.
[MUSIC SWELLS]
Just arranged in lines.
Men, women, children.
And in the middle, was this fire.
Stood by it, was Kelson.
For some unfathomable purpose, he’d dragged all the bodies there.
And a few seconds later, he turned around and he looked right at us and he waved.
Casually, like, “Hey. Wanna come down, lads?”
Yeah. We turned and ran.
And in 15 years, none of us have been back.
Like I said.
Insane.
[SOFT CRACKLING]
Oh, fuck. [SIGHS]
Do you want Mum to die?
‘Course I don’t.
Ah, Spike, what sort of question is that?
What’s really wrong with her?
[SIGHS]
I don’t know.
Is she dying?
JAMIE: I don’t know.
I think she’s dying.
And so do you.
If she dies, are you gonna be with Rosey?
Watch your mouth.
What would her Davey think about that?
I said, watch your bloody mouth!

You said it would stand like this forever.
Like the pyramids. Or Stonehenge.
So when you look at it, you…
You’re seeing into the future. Do you remember that day?
I couldn’t have been more than, what, seven or eight?

what the fuck happens now?
Do more infected come?
I don’t know. Probably.
They would’ve heard the noise.

The barsark will come. They’ll rip

You’re not from here.

[WIND BLOWING]

Fuck’s sake.
My best friend from school is a delivery driver.
You don’t know what a delivery driver is.
He, um, delivers packages.
You know, people order stuff online.
I bet you don’t know what online is.
Uh, it doesn’t matter.
He’s a… He’s a driver.
And I told him… you’re wasting your life, Felix.
You only get one life, and you’re pissing it away.
And he said… “Yeah, what are you gonna do, fuck nuts?”
[RUSTLING]
So I joined the navy… to prove a point.
Now who’s pissing away their life, huh?
I don’t understand what you’re saying.
I’m saying I should have been a delivery driver.
Right now, I’d be stuck in traffic somewhere… or driving too fast down a narrow street or something.
SPIKE: Then why are you here?
[SIGHS] My fucking boat sank.
We were patrolling on the east coast of Scotland and we hit something.
[LAUGHS] Scotch on the rocks.
Doesn’t matter.
Few of us found a life raft.
We didn’t wanna make it to shore, obviously, but the wind blew us.
[ISLA GROANS]
Eight of us made it to land. Now I’m the only one left.
Will you be rescued?
[BIRD SCREECHING]
You do know the whole island is in quarantine, right?
What do you think the patrol boats are for?
Well, I know there’s a quarantine.
But I thought it was only for us.
Quarantine is for any poor fucker who puts one toe on this island.
You hit land, you never leave.
[BIRDS CHIRPING]
You can come to my town.
After I take my mum to the doctor.
Yeah, where is this doctor?
There.
Not far.
[SCOFFS] “Not far”?
Hey, hey, you try carrying your mother around for a bit.
I’m gonna take a break.
First meal in a day and a half.
Have another.
Seem to really like apples.
Yeah.
One percent.
No signal.
What’s that?
Soon, it’s a brick.
But for a few more moments it’s… something like a radio.
But with photos.
Do you have radios?
Do you have photos?
Some people have old ones.
ERIK: There. Take a look at that.
That’s a new one.
It’s my fiancée.
Or ex…
I guess.
What’s wrong with her face?
What do you mean?
She looks weird.
ERIK: You’re weird.
She’s gorgeous. What’s wrong with you?
SPIKE: Tsk. I know what it is.
There’s this girl in my town who has the same thing.
ERIK: Thing?
She’s allergic to shellfish.
So, if she eats scallops, then her whole mouth gets dead fat and swells up.
Give me that.
[SIGHS]
ERIK: Yeah, there it goes.
[SPEAKING SWEDISH]
[IN ENGLISH] Don’t hook up with Felix.
[THUDS]
Dad…
I’m cold.
Why does she call you “Dad”?
That’s weird.
I mean, I’m sure there’s a lot of inbreeding around these parts… but this seems unlikely.
She’s just confused.
She wasn’t always like this.
Most of the time she’s just like she always was.
Who’s like she always was?
You, Mum.
Oh.
Who are you?
I’m Erik.
And this is your father, Spike.
[CHUCKLES]
What?
[ERIK LAUGHS]
He’s just being silly, Mum.
He’s being a dick.

ERIK: She can walk?
[WIND BLOWING]
Why do they get so huge?
The barsark.
[SIGHS] Well, Sam says, on some… the infection kinda works like steroids.
Yeah?
I mean, I don’t know what steroids are.
I’m guessing that’s what turns them Alpha.
ERIK: Alpha. You make them sound like stock brokers.
Or fucking Wall Street guys.
What?
You know what barsark is? Barsark is better.
It’s like…
[GROWLS] Crazy fucking Viking warrior. You know?
I’m actually a Viking.
Maybe if I get infected, I’ll turn into one.

It means “Remember Death.”
Remember you must die.

But she’ll need milk.

I asked you to remember a word.
Yes.
Do you remember what it was?
A word…
KELSON: Isla…
I have no diagnostic equipment… and I can’t take a biopsy.
But from what I can observe, I think you have cancer.
It may have spread from your brain to your body, or your body to your brain.
Either way, it has metastasized.
It explains your symptoms, and, I’m afraid… the masses on your breasts and lymph nodes.
I… I am very sorry.

I feel surprised at meself, when I… you know, when I say strange things.
But I say them anyway.
