Trapped On The Roof Until Day 60 | Zombie Outbreak Ep. 2 — Transcript

Full transcript

1. 0:0030 days ago, the city fell. You are on
2. 0:03the roof of your tower, 34 floors up,
3. 0:05sitting on the only way in. 5,000
4. 0:08gallons of water in the tank behind you,
5. 0:112 days of food, and your flat, four
6. 0:13floors down, is full of them. On the
7. 0:16bank roof across the street, somebody
8. 0:18finished a message last night. Do not
9. 0:20trust the radio. And the radio is still
10. 0:23talking.
11. 0:24>> The stadium is safe. Come on foot. Bring
12. 0:27nothing.
13. 0:28>> She has wanted to go since day 15.
14. 0:33At dawn, the figure on the bank roof is
15. 0:35back, alive, and doing exactly what it
16. 0:39did before, pointing at its own ear,
17. 0:42then at you, then at its ear again. You
18. 0:45look at the radio, then at the hatch,
19. 0:48and you finally run the experiment you
20. 0:50should have run 2 weeks ago. Volume all
21. 0:52the way up, radio on the hatch, and you
22. 0:55count. 90 seconds. Then the hatch jumps
23. 0:58under four concrete blocks. Now, look at
24. 1:01the old numbers again. The hallway did
25. 1:03not fill up by accident. Every night you
26. 1:06sat listening for news of the stadium,
27. 1:08you were ringing the dinner bell
28. 1:09yourself. That is what the ear meant.
29. 1:12They can hear your radio.
30. 1:15She does not say anything for a long
31. 1:17time. Then she takes the batteries out.
32. 1:21Day 32.
33. 1:23The tins are gone, and the water turns
34. 1:25on you.
35. 1:26By noon, she is doubled over beside the
36. 1:28tank. That tank was built to fight
37. 1:30fires, not to drink from. It has stood
38. 1:33under the birds for years. Water like
39. 1:36that needs a full rolling boil, 1 minute
40. 1:38before it is safe. To boil water, you
41. 1:41need fire. Up here, there is gravel,
42. 1:43steel, and wind. The camping stove is
43. 1:46exactly where you left it on day 15, in
44. 1:49your kitchen, with them.
45. 1:52So, you use the one thing you have just
46. 1:55learned. If the radio pulls them toward
47. 1:57you, it can pull them away. You tie it
48. 1:59to the old bucket rope and every cable
49. 2:01on the roof. Turn it up and lower it
50. 2:04down the outside of the building, past
51. 2:06your windows, past floor 25, down to 20.
52. 2:10Inside, they follow it down the stairs
53. 2:13one floor at a time toward a calm voice
54. 2:15telling them the stadium is safe. Then,
55. 2:18you go back down the shaft. Three points
56. 2:20of contact, four floors, into your own
57. 2:23bathroom, your flat. The door is off its
58. 2:26hinge. The couch is across the room. It
59. 2:29smells like the hallway now. Shoes off.
60. 2:31Rule one still applies. The stove, three
61. 2:35gas canisters, the big pot, salt, and a
62. 2:38reel of fishing line you forgot you
63. 2:40owned. One of them did not follow the
64. 2:42radio. It is standing in the kitchen
65. 2:44doorway with its back to you. Flat cap,
66. 2:47bandaged arm, he is still facing the
67. 2:49place where your front door used to be.
68. 2:51You go around him 1 in at a time. It
69. 2:54takes 11 minutes to cross your own
70. 2:56kitchen. That night, on the roof, you
71. 2:59finally light it. Rule three said no
72. 3:01flame in a sealed room. Out here, there
73. 3:04is nothing but sky. Boiled water. She
74. 3:07keeps it down.
75. 3:10Water is solved again for as long as the
76. 3:12gas lasts.
77. 3:14Food has been gone for 4 days.
78. 3:16The pigeons come back to the tank every
79. 3:18evening.
80. 3:19On day 28, you said you were not there
81. 3:21yet. You are there. A crate, a stick, a
82. 3:25length of fishing line, and the last
83. 3:27crumbs from the bottom of the bag. The
84. 3:29oldest trap there is. You lie flat for 2
85. 3:32hours. Then, you pull. One pigeon is
86. 3:36about 250 calories. Cook it all the way
87. 3:39through. City birds carry everything.
88. 3:42Two birds each on a good day, a quarter
89. 3:45of what a body needs. And there is a
90. 3:47trap inside the trap. Lean meat alone
91. 3:50will not keep you alive. Without fat or
92. 3:52starch, the body starts to fail even on
93. 3:55a full stomach.
94. 3:57So, you talk to the only neighbor you
95. 3:59have left. Paint, 3 m tall. One word.
96. 4:04Food? The answer takes an hour. The
97. 4:06figure drags something to the middle of
98. 4:08the roof and tips it out. Boxes, tins,
99. 4:12hundreds. The bank had a staff canteen.
100. 4:15Then, a second word in white paint and
101. 4:17an empty bottle held upside down. Water.
102. 4:20You have 5,000 gallons and nothing to
103. 4:22eat. She has a canteen and nothing to
104. 4:25drink, and there is a street between
105. 4:27you.
106. 4:29The bank roof is 60 m away and 28 floors
107. 4:32below you. Nobody can throw a rope 60 m,
108. 4:36but this problem was solved in 1848.
109. 4:39The first line across the Niagara Gorge
110. 4:41was carried over by a boy with a kite.
111. 4:44Up here, you have a tarpaulin, two
112. 4:46curtain rods, a reel of fishing line,
113. 4:48and a wind that never stops. The first
114. 4:50kite dives straight into the street. The
115. 4:53second one flies. You let the line out
116. 4:55until the kite hangs over the bank roof.
117. 4:58Then, you spill the wind out of it. She
118. 5:00catches it with both hands.
119. 5:03Fishing line pulls string. String pulls
120. 5:06washing line. Washing line pulls rope.
121. 5:09By day 44, there is a loop running roof
122. 5:12to roof, like a clothesline between two
123. 5:14windows. Water goes down by gravity, 5
124. 5:17gallons a trip. Food comes up by hand.
125. 5:2128 floors of rope for every bag. 20 days
126. 5:24of food. Beans, rice, tinned fat. You
127. 5:27have never been so happy to see beans.
128. 5:30In the third bag, there is a note. Real
129. 5:33handwriting. Her name is Inez. She
130. 5:36cleaned the bank at night. She has been
131. 5:37alone since day two. You write back. For
132. 5:41the first time in 44 days, there are
133. 5:43three of you.
134. 5:46On day 50, you ask the question you have
135. 5:48both been avoiding.
136. 5:50What happened at the stadium?
137. 5:52The answer comes up in the next bag. She
138. 5:54was there.
139. 5:55It fell on day 12. 10,000 people, one
140. 5:59loudspeaker system, and every dead thing
141. 6:02in the city walking toward the noise.
142. 6:04The message you heard was recorded on
143. 6:06day 10. Nobody has been alive to switch
144. 6:08it off. It is still calling them. And it
145. 6:12is still calling survivors. That is what
146. 6:15she was trying to paint. The day
147. 6:16something came up her stairs.
148. 6:19She reads the note twice. Then, she
149. 6:21folds it very small.
150. 6:24The nights are colder now. And every pot
151. 6:27of safe water costs gas.
152. 6:29One canister left. About 12 days of
153. 6:32drinking water. There is a way to clean
154. 6:34water with no fuel at all. Clear plastic
155. 6:37bottles laid in full sun for 6 hours.
156. 6:40Two days if it is cloudy. So, the sunny
157. 6:42side of the roof becomes a field of
158. 6:44bottles. And every night something still
159. 6:47knocks on the hatch from below.
160. 6:49Once.
161. 6:50As if it is checking.
162. 6:53The radio has been hanging at floor 20
163. 6:55for 3 weeks. On day 58, she pulls it up
164. 6:58and asks you for 1 minute. She kept one
165. 7:01set of batteries. Volume at one. Ear
166. 7:04against the speaker. The loop is still
167. 7:07running.
168. 7:07>> The stadium is safe. Come on foot. Bring
169. 7:11nothing.
170. 7:13>> On day 60, at 4:00 in the morning, the
171. 7:16loop stops in the middle of a word.
172. 7:18Silence.
173. 7:19Then, breathing.
174. 7:21Then, a new voice.
175. 7:23Live.
176. 7:24>> To the two people on the tower roof with
177. 7:26the white paint. We can see you. Stay
178. 7:29where you are. We are coming.
179. 7:31>> Across the street, a lamp comes on. Ines
180. 7:34is painting. Fast. Bigger than she has
181. 7:37ever painted. One word. Hide.
