00:00The End
02:32I'll get you your horse.
02:51It's only just broken the skin.
03:06There are better ways of committing suicide than carrying meat.
03:10Especially now we've got urban dogs.
03:13Urban dogs?
03:15Sheffield and Manchester.
03:17Run out of food there.
03:18They've moved out.
03:19Soon have every sheep between here and Buxton.
03:23I've not been that far north.
03:26Where are you from?
03:27Down the river in a valley.
03:30People call Walter. Do you know them?
03:32I'm from Upstream myself.
03:34There are four of us staying there.
03:36I'm trying to find Mrs. Walter's son so we can move on.
03:40He's called Tom.
03:41He's about 25 I'm told. Big fellow.
03:44A lot of big fellows.
03:45I think we'll have the fire there.
03:48Away from the dogs.
03:49We've got to get rid of the meat.
03:51Might as well eat it.
04:01Since when did people shake hands?
04:04Ah.
04:05Sorry.
04:06I forgot.
04:07It's been a long time since the death.
04:09Things worse than the death.
04:12Well my name's Charles Vaughan.
04:15Richard Fenton.
04:17For what it's worth.
04:22Where did you get the automatic?
04:26I liberated an army camp on the Moors just after the death.
04:30I've got more back at my place.
04:32I'll trade you one.
04:35Nothing to trade I'm afraid.
04:37Then I'll lend you one.
04:39Can't see you getting the chop after my great rescue can I?
04:43How can you be so certain that I'll return it?
04:46Anyone who offers to shake hands is either honest or a fool.
04:50And I don't think you're a fool.
04:53I was very grateful to be alive.
04:59Where do you live?
05:00About 15 miles further on.
05:04Four of you are there?
05:05Yes.
05:06Looking for a friend?
05:07Yes.
05:09How many times have I heard that?
05:11What?
05:13People looking for a friend.
05:17Are you sure you haven't seen him?
05:20I meet only those I barter with.
05:22Mind you, that's most people.
05:25Indian trader selling guns.
05:27That and other things.
05:29I'll look up my notes when we get back.
05:32Notes?
05:34I amuse myself writing down the ambitions, the fears, the phobias.
05:41Roots taken, roots proposed.
05:43Really?
05:43Well, how long have you been doing that?
05:45Since it all started.
05:48Or ended.
05:49But you must have the most incredible amount of information.
05:53Might make a count of retails one day.
05:55Oh, I mean, we had records, but what you got must be a record of half a nation.
06:00Hmm, certainly a lot of people moving north and south from the Midlands.
06:04Well, look, what I want to do is, I want to get people to join up, to federate, to use
06:09whatever technology we've got.
06:13So, of course, any information about movement is vital, and you've got it.
06:17You obviously have a sense of mission.
06:19Oh, I can't be the first person you've met who talks like that.
06:23Oh, no, I get regional water boarders, clerks, little people with big ideas.
06:30Oh, I'm sorry.
06:34Obviously, you don't accept it.
06:37Yeah, let's make a start.
06:45It's not just big ideas.
06:48It's common sense.
06:50It's fact.
06:51It's survival.
06:52What is the indomitable spirit of mankind?
06:54The untiring, ceaseless urge to progress, improve.
07:01Isn't that rather old hat now?
07:05I don't see how you can be so detached.
07:07It keeps me sane.
07:09It doesn't help people.
07:11Oh, come, Charles.
07:14We're medieval now.
07:16After all, what have we had?
07:18The end of our society,
07:20the reverse of 1,000 years of social, political, and economic progress,
07:23and people like you, understandably,
07:26come along and talk as though we just had an air raid.
07:29Stiff huffles and a cup of tea, and we'll be all right.
07:32Oh, no, no, no.
07:37That was a terrific shot.
07:39You saved my life.
07:41Pure luck.
07:42Oh, ho, ho.
07:43I'm true.
07:43I'm a bad shot.
07:44Pure luck.
07:46I'd rather I took a chance and hit you rather than let you catch rabies.
07:49Of course, you wouldn't know.
07:51There's quite a bit in this area.
07:52Animals probably escaped from quarantine in Manchester and Liverpool.
07:56You won't see anything.
07:58The dog wasn't frothing.
08:01Did you not come across rabies?
08:03No.
08:07Quite a few people live in this area, like the dogs came out from Sheffield and Manchester.
08:12They keep sheep, mostly.
08:15Rabies is a problem.
08:21How long is the incubation period?
08:24Anything from 11 days to a year.
08:27The dog jumped at me the other day.
08:29It took the meat right out of my mouth.
08:31Impossible to believe.
08:32Fortunately, I had my rifle with me.
08:34Meat to a dog is like blood to a shark.
08:38That won't do any good.
08:41Saliva only has to make contact with the skin.
08:43Rabies doesn't even need to scratch.
08:44If it's in the bloodstream, it's too late.
08:51Why didn't you tell me?
08:53I thought you'd know.
08:55I was bandaging a fellow up the other day.
08:56Are you a doctor?
08:59Yes, actually, I am.
09:01Do you know,
09:03in our community,
09:04we went through hell without a doctor.
09:07We had to go to London even to bring back a medical student.
09:10We had to fight rats even.
09:12Now you fight dogs.
09:13And you can just sit around and be amused?
09:16Oh, no.
09:17Sometimes I go out.
09:18I trade some ammunition
09:20and rescue ersatz political leaders from dogs.
09:24Do you have any medical supplies?
09:26No.
09:26Have you tried to get any?
09:28No.
09:29General practice?
09:30No.
09:31So you're a specialist?
09:33What do you specialize in?
09:35Education.
09:37Sheffield University, further education.
09:39I'm a doctor of philosophy.
10:02I'm a doctor of philosophy.
10:14Cannons to the front, cannons behind.
10:16We'd better get cracking.
10:18Burn these dogs.
10:23If they got rabies, they're as dangerous dead as alive.
10:27What are the chances?
10:29They didn't show any signs.
10:34Look, if you're not so keen on cooperating...
10:38What? I mean...
10:40What keeps you going?
10:41Yes!
10:42What kept me going before?
10:45The human predicament.
10:47How people survive.
10:50Especially without automatic rifles.
10:55Think of all the great reformers.
10:57Missionaries.
10:59Saints, martyrs, politicians, generals.
11:02The pride and ego.
11:04All useless?
11:06Wasn't it? Look what survived.
11:07The fish in that river, even the dogs.
11:09It's man's pride that's fallen.
11:12And I just want to organize society because of my pride?
11:15You don't understand.
11:17It's mankind.
11:18Been in the wrong boat for 2,000 years.
11:21Chasing myths.
11:22Progress!
11:23What progress?
11:26You are a nihilist.
11:27No, no.
11:27A realist.
11:29We live in the ruins of our created world, and I'm a nihilist.
11:33Well, if it's all so hopeless, why don't you just kill yourself?
11:37Because I want to see what happens.
11:40But like God, sitting back and watching to see how we cope.
11:44I'd have thought if there's a God, then he's wrought his Armageddon.
11:47And we're all just going to die out.
11:50See to you, it's just a challenge.
11:52A gauntlet to be run.
11:53A test.
11:55Well, I don't like watching.
11:58I prefer action.
12:00Charles Vaughan, survivor.
12:03Survival pack, two silver dollars, a pair of nylons, chewing gum and prophylactics.
12:13Perhaps, if I have a memory of a more comfortable world.
12:19I'll leave you to yours.
12:23Thanks.
12:28Charles.
12:32Are you afraid?
12:34No, I'm angry.
12:35What about your automatic?
12:39I met a fellow like you, arguing about restoration.
12:42He'd been up in a balloon to do it.
12:44A balloon?
12:46When was this? What was his name?
12:48Fanatic.
12:49He even tried to tell me he'd been to Norway.
12:52Greg Preston!
12:53When was this?
12:55You mean he hadn't been to Norway?
12:56Yes!
12:57What did he say?
12:58What was he doing?
12:59He said he was looking for coal.
13:01Coal?
13:02Opencast mining.
13:02I told him there were two or three in the area.
13:04Could he still be here?
13:06I'm now useful to the race.
13:07Oh, yes.
13:08Will we get to your place before tonight?
13:10No.
13:10You'll have to join me at my halfway house.
13:14I'm quite enjoying our discussion.
13:15Come on.
13:38I have the last Times ever printed.
13:42Inflation reaches 28%.
13:44Oh.
13:48Shall I tell you what will happen?
13:51Typhoid.
13:52Cholera.
13:53More plague.
13:55Because we're the product of antibiotic drugs and food.
13:58Even fewer will survive than in feudal times.
14:02Child mortality will exceed child survival.
14:06Elliot was right.
14:07We'll end.
14:08Not with a bang.
14:09But with a whimper.
14:14I don't accept that.
14:16I know.
14:17And I envy you.
14:20Is that why you don't care about using our matches?
14:23Yes.
14:25I'm bent on using our matches.
14:27On selling my rifle as an ammunition for bread and cheese.
14:31And I can't buy food any longer.
14:32Then I'll accept the inevitable.
14:36I wish I'd never met you.
14:39Talk like that.
14:42Undermines.
14:43Eats away.
14:47You'll be the same when the time comes.
14:50All it means is you'll last longer than me.
14:52Fight longer and harder to survive.
14:56But there'll be the point when you'll lie down.
15:18The question is just a good one.
15:18He definitely re-tomic to the newness.
15:18I'm not using it.
15:18I'm not using it.
15:19I'm not using it.
15:21I'm using it.
15:28I don't know it anymore.
15:29I don't understand anything.
15:30No.

17:22Or,

17:26I'll go and get help.
17:32Fear of water.

17:53Fear of water.

18:36Don't touch me on the face.
18:39Too late.
18:42I've got rabies.
18:46I've got rabies.
18:58He's just zero station.
19:01I've got rabies.
19:02Actually,

19:08I've got rabies.

19:17I've been buried.
19:27Oh, my God.
19:49Oh, my God.
20:17Oh, my God.
20:23Don't.
20:25Now, you listen.
20:28Listen to me.
20:31I've got to get help for you.
20:32But first,
20:35I must know where you live.
20:39Can you hear me, Richard?
20:43I must get to your notes.
20:48Listen.
20:50Hang on.
20:52I'm going
20:53to get help.
20:55I'm going to get help.
20:55I'm going to get help.
21:26Good morning.
21:28My name is Charles Vaughan.
21:30I've got a friend who's sick about a mile up the valley.
21:34What's he sick of?
21:35I don't know.
21:36Is there anywhere around here where I can get some drugs?
21:38Anyone with nursing experience?
21:39Not interested.
21:42Not interested.
21:43He might die.
21:45Nothing new.
21:48He's got lots of rifles and ammunition.
21:54Where?
21:55Where?
21:55Where he lives.
21:57If you can help me get him there,
21:59you can take what you like.
22:00What kind of rifles?
22:01Automatic, latest, NATO stuff.
22:04What's his name?
22:06What's his name?
22:06Fenton.
22:06Richard Fenton.
22:07Why didn't you say?
22:09Why is he important?
22:11Ah, he's a friend.
22:13Around here, it's your own and nobody else's.
22:16That's the way we go.
22:25Do you know where he lives?
22:26Aye.
22:27Will you help me get him there?
22:30Not for his rifles.
22:32I'm not interested in his rifles.
22:34He's got some information about a friend.
22:37We'll see, won't we?
23:12We'll see, won't we?
23:17We'll see, we're safe, won't we?

28:42I think so.
28:42Well, if he's bleeding, the dogs will get him.
28:47Then we've got another big outbreak.
28:49We'll just have to nail him first.
28:57Oh, oh, oh.
29:23Let's go.
30:11I got thrown from my horse about a mile back I haven't seen one of these for ages how do
30:20you

30:43well hey
31:15yeah
31:17yeah
31:19yeah
31:19yeah
31:28I don't know.
31:56Hello.
31:58I'm looking for a friend.
32:01His name is Richard Fenton.
32:04He lives around here.
32:07Do you know where?
32:10Mr. Fenton?
32:35I'm looking for a couple of hours.
32:38I'm looking for a couple of hours.
32:39Oh, I just went up later.
32:40Will you keep a watch on the ridge?
32:41And I'll keep a watch this side.
32:42He can't have got far.
32:43He looked down here any road.
32:45He could have cut across top.
32:47I still say he doubled back.
32:48He wouldn't double back.
32:51How about the Fenton's place?
32:53The rifle's double.
32:54Well, he wouldn't come here.
32:55He'd know we'd be on to it.
33:00He's not here.
33:02We'll pick the rifles up on the way back.
33:15The rifle's double.
33:16The rifle's double.
35:31Today, Gregory.
35:34Gregory, an idiot.
35:36Another missionary, rushing headlong through the centuries, backwards.
35:42He has seen coal and all will be revealed.
35:46I tell him to go three miles east.
35:49Some open-cast mining.
35:51He goes cheerfully, so ordinary and sober, he is most perfect in his madness.
35:57And there he is.
36:42I don't know.
36:59What?
37:00What?
37:14Well, just in case, Phil, you go round the back, Jim, take the front, and I'll go right.
37:20And watch out, you might have got those rifles.
37:27That's it.
37:55They're all coming.
38:16Bugs dog, eh?
38:18Bugs dog!
38:21What you doing, eh?
38:25I don't know.
38:28Don't come, stay, stay, stay, stay, stay.
38:33Naughty dog.
38:38You've been fighting, eh?
38:40Bloody?
38:41Naughty dog, naughty dog.
38:44Stay.
38:46No.
38:48Hey, tell Helen.
38:49Hey, tell Helen.
38:51Oh!
39:10Ease it.
39:18Ease it.
39:20Ease it.
39:38No fever?
39:42Where am I?
39:44My barn.
39:46Lucky Ron found you.
39:48Sanders and his lot would shoot you out of hand.
39:51You can't blame them.
39:55Precautions.
39:57They wouldn't do that because they're frightened.
39:59You have to live with it sometime to know what to do.
40:03Where did it bite you?
40:07No.
40:08Come on.
40:15Through that?
40:18Was it frothing?
40:20Shaking foam?
40:22No.
40:24The face is the worst place.
40:27Let me see your arm.
40:39It's hardly broken the skin.
40:43The teeth would be dry biting through all that cloth.
40:46You were wearing the coat.
40:47Oh yes.
40:47Was there any foam on your coat?
40:49Not like Fenton.
40:52He got rabies.
40:53Yes I know.
40:56The saliva.
40:57What color?
40:59The dog wasn't frothing.
41:02I think your chances are very good.
41:04How did you come to know so much about rabies?
41:09I was a farmer's wife in Kenya.
41:13I've seen a man die from a jackal bite on his face.
41:19The face is the worst place.
41:21The lower down the bite the better the chance of recovery.
41:39Oh.
41:41You can stay here a few days.
41:43Can you ride a horse?
41:46Better than walking.

42:18Heard he was coming this way.
42:21You haven't seen him have you Ron?
42:25I tried down by the quarry.
42:26Or the caves.
42:28You watch out for him.
42:29A man with a bad leg.
42:31Bad arm.
42:32He's got a bad disease.
42:34Kill you.
