Establishing shots of the landscape, marshes and
surrounding areas, showing some damage to the land, like there has been a
nuclear blast. When shots of the forest show on screen, we see Daisy lying on
the floor unconscious. She awakens and fog is looming in the fore and background.
She looks dirty and her clothes are also, she has multiple cuts to the face.
Shots are edited in the way similar THG hallucination scene. Daisy stands up
with struggle and looks around the area. She stumbles as she walks around. She
coughs up blood and feels the cut on her brow. She starts having memories about
what happened before, tracking shots of people running and screaming from
something. A running noise slowly begins to sound and her name is being called
as her memories progress and flash between them and her.
Lucy: Daisy! Daisy! DAISY!
Lucy appears from
frame left into the shot with Daisy, but Daisy seems to not notice her until
she runs into her. They both hug.
Lucy: Where have you been?! Are you okay, we’ve been looking for
you for days!
Daisy: I’m fine, I think.
Lucy: No, you’re not fine, you’re hurt!
Daisy: No, really, it’s only a small cut. What’s happened?
Lucy: (hesitantly) I’ll
explain later, it’s quite complicated… Come on.
The girls walk
through the forest and witness a few dead animals on the floor.
Daisy: Where are we going?
Lucy: We’ve made a base camp for survivors. I’m taking you there.
Daisy stops in her
tracks.
Daisy: Survivors?
Lucy: I’ll explain when we get there.
Daisy looks round
to see if she understands what has happened.
Lucy: Trust me, come on…
The scene then moves from them to the camp of a few survivors all
placed round a small burnt out fire. All of their clothes are ragged and dirty,
same to their physical appearance. Joe is poking a stick into the fire.
Joe: She’s probably dead…
Charlie: Shut-up Joe! She’s alive…
Joe: What if they’ve taken her?
Sarah: They haven’t taken her…
Joe: How do you know that?! They could be working on her right
now, messing up her brain and stuff! That’s what Tom said before it all
happened. That’s what they do with you…
They all look at
him. Joe quickly turns on the radio. We hear that he has trouble tuning it in
to the correct station. The others just watch him struggle. Finally Sarah
speaks.
Sarah: Its 33.7
Joe: I know!
Radio static can
be heard and the voice of the radio also.
Radio Voice: … we are hearing reports of attacks from the enemy
in London, Hastings and Surry. We are still not able to identify who the enemy
is at this time, but we are confident that they are not, I repeat NOT
associated with Europe. If there is any way that the people that are able to
listen to this can contact us, please DO NOT TRY! The enemy has ways of tracing
you, which will lead to the capture of yourself and whoever you are with.
Remember, never trust strangers unless you have to, get hold of any water that
you can and store as much food as you can as well. The next time that we will
be broadcasting is when the sun rises tomorrow morning on channel 27.6. This is
APOC… Stay safe…
The radio goes to
static and Joe turns it off. Footsteps can be heard.
Sarah: Shhh… Someone’s coming…
A few of the group pulls out things for personal defence
and a few stand up. Lucy comes through an opening. The group put their things
down, relieved and happy to see her.
Sarah: Still no sign of her? How many days is she going to be
missing?
Daisy comes
through the opening and Sarah comes rushing out and hugs her.
Sarah: We thought you were dead! None of us could find you since
it happened!
Daisy: Since what happened?
Sarah looks at Lucy.
Sarah: Doesn’t she know…?
Lucy shakes her
head.
Daisy: Know what? How long have I been gone for?
Sarah: 11 days. What happened to you? You’re hurt!
Daisy: I’m fine! I can’t really remember… All I remember is
waking up on the floor, and these dreams…
Lucy: What dreams? You didn’t say you had any dreams…
Daisy: Just people running and screaming from something, but I
don’t know what from…
Charlie: It’s probably only memories from just before the…
Daisy: Before the what…?
Lucy sits her down.
Lucy: When you woke up… what did you remember? …
Daisy: I didn’t remember anything…
Lucy: Do you know what’s happened? …
Daisy: No…
Awkward pause…
Sarah: There was a nuclear explosion…
They wait for the
information to sink in.
Daisy: You’re joking, right?
They all sit
there, morbid faces.
Daisy: Oh my god…
Lucy: Most people are dead. You went missing straight after the
blast, we all thought you died. About an hour after the blast, radio broadcasts
were sent out to all those who could receive them, saying that an unknown enemy
have taken over the UK and plan to take anyone who they find. We’ve been here
ever since.
Daisy: Who set the bomb off?
Joe: No one knows…
Charlie: From what we have been hearing, it was an accident, but
someone might want to be covering it up, but those on the radio stations that
we listen to don’t think so it was an accident at all.
Daisy: Why, what radio stations do you listen to?
Sarah: Well, most of the radio broadcasts that are sent out are
controlled by whoever is taking over the UK. But some people have managed to
send out illegal broadcasts that the enemy can’t trace. They’ve called the
channel ‘APOC’. They change the station every week so only the ones who listen
to the broadcasts previously can find out what station it’s on. They are trying
to find out who these invaders are and keep us all up to date with what is
going on, but who knows how long it will be before the enemy finds them.
Joe: Or us…
Charlie: You’re always so negative
Joe: I’m not being negative, I’m being realistic
Daisy: He is right. Whoever these people are, they want everyone
they can get their hands on by the sounds of it. They must have had something
to do with the explosion.
Sarah: That’s what APOC think; they just need the evidence to
prove it.
Joe: Who are they going to show the evidence to?! Everyone is
dead!
Daisy: We’re not.
Lucy: She’s right, we’re alive. There are probably hundreds of
people still alive; we just need to find them…
Charlie: We should pack in for the night; it’s starting to get
dark.
Lucy: I’ll be on watch
Daisy: No, I’ll do it. I’m not really tired.
Lucy: If you’re sure… are you going to be okay? Not going to
have any more of those dreams are we?
Daisy: I’ll be fine…
Lucy: Okay then, goodnight. Night everyone!
Charlie: Night!
Sarah: Night!
Joe doesn’t say
anything.
Lucy: Night Joe! … NIGHT JOE!
Joe: (Grumpily) NIGHT!
Lucy smiles to
herself and slightly chuckles, then goes to sleep. Daisy stays out on watch.
Fade to black. Flashbacks occur whilst the blackout is on and with a sudden jolt;
Daisy wakes up from a ‘nightmare’.
Lucy :( Stirs from sleep) Daisy, are you okay? Daisy?
Daisy: I think they’re coming…
Lucy leaps up from
the floor and awakes the others.
Lucy: Are you sure…?
Daisy: No, but I just got a feeling…
Distant bullet
fire is heard. They all look over to the source.
Lucy: GET UP! NOW! EVERYONE!
Everyone scrambles
up and grabs their things and food. They start to run into the forest. They
dodge bullets as they bounce off the trees. A large explosion occurs near them
and they all fall on the floor, the camera shakes. They all scream and cry and
try to get up as quickly as possible, helping each other up. When they are
further in front, they all hide behind trees and signal to each other that they
need to bludgeon the enemy to death. Everyone slowly picks up rocks and steady
themselves to bludgeon the enemy. Very fast shots are shown where they all kill
the enemy; a shot is then shown where we see blood on a rock and also their
facial expressions. They all look at each other and subconsciously decide that
it is time to leave and take away the bodies. A shot is then shown of them
dragging the bodies into a ditch or a shed.
Charlie: Is that all of them?
Daisy: I think so…
Daisy chucks each
of them a gun from the bodies of the dead. Lucy refuses.
Lucy: I can’t take that…
Daisy: Why not…
Lucy: Because that’s probably one of the reasons that this war
all started! Carrying these makes us more like them!
Daisy: We are carrying these for our protection! We are the
complete opposite of them!
Lucy: DAISY IM NOT GOING TO TAKE IT!...
Daisy: Fine, I’ll take it then…
Lucy has a look
about her like she has made a wrong decision or knows that she has upset her
friends. Looks
sorry for herself.
Joe: Why does she get the extra gun?
Charlie: Shut-up Joe…
They all walk over to a long stretch of road, all slightly staggered so
they are all seen by the camera.
Sarah: So what happens now…?
Daisy: I don’t know…
Lucy: We stick together. Try and find somewhere safe. Find out
who started all of this…
Daisy looks at her
proudly.
Lucy: Come on…
They all walk off
together down the road carrying only their guns for protection, continuing their
journey for survival. As they are walking, the radio can be heard.
Radio Voice: Reports of attacks have been located in Kent,
mainly in the West, but some in the East. The enemy is still unknown. Who knows
how long it will be before these attacks stop. All we can do now is hope. Stick
together and trust no one. Don’t let the fear take over. This is APOC, stay
safe…
Fades to black.
CREDITS
After the credits
we see another girl running/chased through the woods and then it goes to
blackout, then it slowly fade in to her waking up on the floor, like Daisy.
