It has been almost a year

who they are, 
where they come from
why they drill all day long. 
All we know is since they came
two quiet hours a day 
is all we have.

It could have been anything.
What if there were people 
out there 
and they found us-- 
>> It's nothing, ok? 
Would you shoot someone
if you had to? 
Go back to sleep.

Dad?
Who are you?
[Shotgun whacking head]
God, what's wrong with you? 
>> I told you to shut the door. 
>> I'm sorry.
That's the second time.
Do you want to get us killed?
He's been shot.
>> Where? 
>> In the leg.
Could it be what we heard
last night? 
Sarah?
Are you going to fix his leg?
Well, you shouldn't. 
He stole our food.
Can you hold the light closer?
Is he gonna die?
No...
at least not from me 
hitting him.
[vehicle approaching slowly]
[vehicle continues approaching]
What's this? 
A survival blanket. 
Jude O'Doherty. From Manchester.
27.
(Tom) 
What do you see?
(Sarah) 
One of their mines.
Looks incredibly deep. 
(Tom) 
I heard they take minerals 
from the core 
of the planet.
Can you see them? 
No.
[intruder grunting]
What are we gonna 
do with him? 
I don't know,
I'm thinking.
Let's see what
Dad thinks when he gets home.
Do you think 
he'll be back tonight?
Sarah? 
Oh for Christ sake, Tom, 
how could I possibly know?
Good girl.
[shushing goat]
Coffee?
There isn't much milk.
It has been a while
since she had babies.
Will she stop producing it?
Eventually.
I'm sorry, ok?
[cb radio crackling] 
It must be Dad!
Hello?
n) You'll catch a fever washing 
in that filthy water.
Why did you run away?
I meant you no harm.
I suppose you don't see 
many people in these parts.
It's quite isolated, isn't it?
What's your name? 
Sarah.
Do you live alone 
in that big house?
No.
Who else is there?
My brother. And my father.
How old are you?
I'm 25.
How old are you really?
18, 19?
What do you want?
He's there, isn't he?
I don't know 
what you're talking about 
You're lying to me, Sarah. 
Did you tie him up?
(Tom) 
Sarah!
(woman) 
Sarah?
Fine. 
You've got 10 minutes
to get him out.
10 minutes or big bad wolf
How many are there?
I'm not sure, at least two...
I think there might be
more hiding in the back. 
Let's just take him out
as she said. 
He must be with them.
en they'd know it's just us two 
and we'd be screwed,
we might as well kiss 
our animals goodbye. 
He wouldn't know
he's still knocked out.
Come on, let's take him out. 
So that they can invite
themselves over?
We'll take him out
through the window, I'll help.
> Imagine they want to kill him?
>> So what? He's a thief. 
That would be murder!
Sarah, we can't keep him here.
What if he breaks free? 
He could be dangerous. 
What do you suggest?
That we kill him?
Come with me.
It's stuck
[intruder waking up]
[intruder waking up] 
(Tom) Sarah?
I didn't mean to frighten you. 
Your friend 
has already contacted us.
My friend? 
The woman who
contacted me on my CB. 
I'm alone.
Do you think I'm stupid?
They've been following me.
Why?
How did you get here 
if you aren't in their van? 
I bundled myself inside 
survival blankets, old ones
that the Army dug out, full of
woven abestos fiber.
They work if the patrol vessels
fly high enough
but it's like playing 
Russian roulette. I was lucky.
[inaudible whispering]
Believe me. These are
not good people.
Keep quiet.
I don't trust you.
Is it the uniform?
Maybe.
not a soldier, I'm a journalist.
>> Why do you dress like one? 
I took the clothes 
from a dead one.
Look in my front pocket.
There's a picture in there.
Please, take a look at it.
What is it? 
It's my wife and daughter. 
They're dead.
So what?
Is that supposed to make you 
a good man? 
Come on, you can see 
I was shot! 
It could have been an accident,
a self-inflected wound.
Do you think you can
hold the fort alone?
You don't know what 
they are capable of. 
They won't stop
until they got your farm.
Well, it seems to me
that it's you they want.
how many farms with
solar panels
and livestock do you think 
you can find around here?
So that you can open 
the door to your friends?
You can't beat them alone. 
(Tom)
Our father will be back soon.
Where is he? 
He went into town
to get some supplies
And how soon will he be back?
Soon enough.
How many of them 
are there? 
5, used to be 6 
 one was spotted by the blasters
last night.
>> That must be what--
>> Tom!
 went inside an abandoned house 
to look for some food 
and one of them followed me
without cover. 
I escaped just before the blast.
f that's true, then why are they
trying so hard to catch you?
You're a liar!
No! No!
(Tom) 
What are you doing?
>> Shutting him up! 
>> Let him talk, Sarah!
Be quiet.
[frantic banging against door]
[window breaking]
[unidentified noise upstairs]
[noise continues]
I'm gonna go upstairs, ok?
Knock, knock. Big bad wolf.
[sound of knife] 
Keep quiet, bitch.
uffled commotion from upstairs] 
You need to listen to me. 
Those guys will kill 
your sister 
and then they'll come down here
to kill me and you.
Do you want
that to happen?
There's a knife 
in a side pocket of my bag,
get it for me and let me help.
I'm not gonna hurt you, 
I promise.
Come on!
Great, give it to me... 
Come here. Get down. 
Here. Ok? Now stay there.
No one can see you. 
You'll be fine.

[alien nest waking up] 
We'll be safe now.
>> Tom? 
>> Sarah!
Are you ok? 
What did he do to you?
Your sister's fine. 
(Sarah) 
Did you hear them leave? 
(Tom) I heard an engine. 
They moved the van.
They've broken 
into the barn.
They'll attack us
again at sunset. 
That's her husband 
I've just killed.
You've done a good job 
cleaning up my leg.
Were you a nursing student?
Something like that.
Tell me what you did to them
Tell me the truth.
I killed one of them,
her brother.
They killed my wife 
and daughter.
They broke into the basement
where they were hiding,
ransacked it. 
My wife tried to defend 
what little food we had, 
they killed her.
I came back from a water run,
found them carrying
boxes to their van
and I just hid.
I remember her wiping blood 
on her pants...
him... eating our food, 
and her brother
bragging about 
what he'd just done.
I thought 
I'd never see him again 
but a couple of days ago 
I was hiding in a bunker 
on the coast
and I heard a voice. 
Her brother's.
I killed him whilst he slept
and ran.
They've been chasing me 
ever since.
And your daughter?
They got her too.
He could be making up stories 
to make us feel sorry for him. 
Tom--
Was he in the picture 
he showed you?
No. 
Then you don't know for sure, 
do you?
He saved my life. 
Maybe he plays the good guy 
until he's done 
with the people outside
> We are all in this together-- 
>> I'm just saying 
we should
watch our backs. 
e killed a man before your eyes 
he might kill us too. 
How can you judge him
so harshly? 
You can't even see him.
I'm sorry. 
I didn't mean-- 
That's another 5, 
I hope you're a good shot.
[radio static]
[radio static]
[static continues]
It's a nice radio.
Who taught you how to use it?
My father.
Your father sounds like
quite a survivalist. 
He didn't...
he doesn't like to take things
for granted.
he wanted to be prepared 
if it all went to shit.
Do you get power from 
the solar panels? 
Some, but we save 
the batteries for the radio.
[radio static] 
[woman on radio]
It's Melanie. It's Melanie. 
The kids are alright. We hope
you made it ok. 
Over.
[man on radio] 
A big swarm has been spotted 
over Gloucester 
heading South,
I repeat: a big swarm 
has been spotted 
over Gloucester 
heading South. 
Extreme caution advised. 
They're heading our way. 
They've been acting 
strangely lately.
What do you mean?
Their patterns 
have changed.
ey've been drilling like crazy. 
Like there's no tomorrow.
[boy on radio]
Daddy, it's Jimmy.
We miss you. Don't come back.
It's too risky at the moment.
Mom sends her love.
Over.
Tom, why don't you
fetch us a bottle of wine? 
After all, it's been a long
time since we've had a guest.
Sure.
I'm sorry. I didn't mean
to intrude.
When did Tom lose 
his sight?
He was flash-blinded
the day they came.
The only thing he remembers is
this intense light,
mom urging him to run away.
She died. It's the last
thing he saw.
And your father?
I saw his grave.
They got him, 
didn't they?
I saw a blast in the distance 
a couple of days ago. 
Is that why 
you came here?
I was hoping to find
people,
life. 
Yeah, and you led them
to us. 
I didn't know 
they were following me,
I'm sorry.
Tom needs to know. 
The longer you wait 
the harder it's gonna be.
You know, this is none
of your business.
So you're gonna keep
lying to him,
give him false hope?
Sorry, it's burnt.
We ran out of oil.
[cb radio crackling]
Hello?
(woman) 
What happened to my husband? 
Did you kill him?
Well?
There has been enough
blood shed at it is,
release your guest 
and we'll be square.
He's gone.
You're lying. 
I'm not. He cut his ties 
and escaped. 
When?
A couple of hours ago.
He's probably dead by now. 
If not, the survival blankets
won't protect him for long.
What did you do with
my husband's body? 
He's still with us.
Take him down at sunset
so that we can 
give him a Christian burial.
We'll leave the house 
when it's done. 
You have our word. 
Over.
What do you think?
I wouldn't believe them. 
She should be allowed
to bury her husband.
That's not why they want
him for.
What do you mean?
Well, they need to eat
to survive.
What about you?
Have you been eating 
dead people too?
Of course not.
They gave us their word. 
It means nothing.
It's worth taking a chance. 
They might go away. 
If what I think will happen 
happens
they'll be able to stay out
there for days 
while we are stuck in here 
with no food or water.
What do you think, Tom?
>> I think you need to leave. 
>>Tom! 
If he left they'd go.
No, they wouldn't. 
They'd come back for the farm.
We need his help.
We were fine before 
he turned up.
He wouldn't make it out there 
all by himself.
I don't care if he dies.
I... I'm sorry... 
he didn't mean that.
(Tom) 
Are they back?
Yeah. It's your call.
Ok. Will you come 
with me?
Back in a minute, ok?
Ok! here we go.
[intruders dragging body away]
[intruders dragging body away]
[intruders dragging body away]
[intruders dragging body away]
(Jude) 
I hope you were right.
You were right.
Dad should be back by now.
They thought 
they could contain them
nce they totaled our satellites 
we were done for. 
The heat, the smell,
the stench of decaying flesh...
There were no words for it
and soon no newspapers
to send them to.
So I got back in the car,
drove home as fast as I could.
Is there anyone left in cities? 
No.
The blasters 
didn't leave them a chance.
The old fire blankets, 
the solar panels, 
they are just
drops in the ocean.
And those who've survived 
they become 
animals.
They hide 
in basements or bunkers,
they get sick 
or lose their minds.
Have you heard of anyone 
making contact with them?
No. Never.
Maybe they aren't here, 
maybe they just sent machines.
Or maybe they just don't
give a shit about us.
Is that what you believe? 
That they don't care?
Why would they?
What makes us 
more special than ants, 
field mice or dolphins?
Our art,
our ability to
build, to ponder on our life.
Ants build incredibly
sophisticated colonies, 
birds decorate their nests. 
Yes, but they don't regret, 
they don't dream,
>> they don't hope. 
>> Maybe they do.
That's probably for the best. 
They won't get hurt that way.
Tom, why don't you play
something for us?
>> I don't feel like it.
>> Come on, do it for me.
What should I play? 
What you were playing
over the radio.

[gentle knocking on door]
Hello?
Are you ok?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You can come in.
What did you study?
Veterinary medicine,
first year.
It doesn't matter now though,
does it?
You could have studied
English lit like me,
Believe me 
you don't want me
sewing your leg up.
What happened 
to your father?
I found him
yesterday morning
a few yards from here
he must have been confused,
maybe his watch stopped or
something.
When he left
I vaguely remember waking up, 
remembering I had forgotten 
to turn off the alarm 
the night before
telling myself it was weird,
and wrong,
I just fell straight back to
sleep,
then when my alarm
did go off a few minutes later
I got up and I saw 
his bike leaning 
against the tree...
Do you really think 
it was a mistake? 
What are you saying?
Maybe he just wanted 
to get it over with.
No,
My father 
was a fighter.
He kept saying 
we had to keep going,
we could never give up, 
he would never...
In this world
people change.
It was a mistake, OK?
My father wasn't a coward.
He'd never have abandoned 
us like that. 
He knew 
I couldn't protect Tom alone 
Maybe he knew you could.
Maybe he though that you were
stronger than him. 
You are, Sarah. 
You're stronger than you think.
Where were you 
when all this started?
Just... grocery shopping
with my wife,
we were bickering because 
I was wasting money 
on expensive food
and she was trying 
to save a few quid 
to go to France in the summer.
It sounds trivial now.
What was her name?
Lisa.
My daughter's name was
Martie.
 was such a lively little girl. 
She was always
dancing around
Lisa said she'd become 
a ballerina.
I remember the last night
before I left them
Martie woke up.
She wanted to come with me.
She wouldn't let go of my hands,
somehow she knew...
Sarah?

No. They were already dead.
His wife ran to her death 
with their child. 
She just couldn't 
take it anymore.
We found him scavenging 
tomatoes in the garden, 
took him back to our bunker.
I guess we didn't agree on...
what we had to do to survive.
You were wrong 
and because you wouldn't listen
you got my husband killed.
