Ash from Icelandic volcanic eruption made landfall with Northern Ireland during the night bringing with it travel chaos. Experts have never seen anything on this scale. The eruption of 2010 is a blip in comparison. The ferocity of the rupture coupled with the unusual atmospheric pressure means this cloud is denser and dispersing at a much slower rate than any before. All commercial and private flights have been grounded... Glad we're not going anywhere. Scrabble rematch? That is, if you're feeli

ng brave enough. Hello I'm sorry, but this is my day off. My only day off. I... I understand. Of course I need the money but there must be someone else. Everyone is sick? Just a moment Dubbed on social media as "ash fever," the ash cloud is now being linked to illness across the province with hundreds of people reporting fever like symptoms. Mrs. O'Day, we'll call him and fix lunch. Don't touch the cooker. I'll be home in the afternoon. Stay indoors until then. Lock the doors... There's been tro

uble in the state. All antisepsis have reached capacity. Anyone showing symptoms should stay in their homes and await further instructions. Let me in. Not by the hairs of my chinny-chin-chin. Well, there are no hairs on that wee chin. Don't be in a hurry to get any neither. I won't Mrs. O'Day. Stay young Zoltar. Zoran, Mrs. O'Day. Whatever. As people attempt to leave the city, Police are advising against all unnecessary road travel. The First Minister has asked for the public to remain calm as t

he authorities combat the outbreak. Never any good news Zoro. I don't know. A drop of ash in the air. And the whole world goes mad. Any biscuits? Couple more columns Zumba, and then we know if I'm alive or not. Are these biscuits off? You're a good boy Zoran. We're experiencing a high volume of calls at the moment, please wait as we try to connect you. Ambulance, my neighbor Mrs. O'Day, she's very sick. Burning up. Coughing. Your neighbor, does she have any secretions? Black gunk coming from her

eyes? Yes! That stuff's dangerous. You need to get away from her right now. Mrs. O'Day? You're sick. Mom? Can you hear me? If you're there, please answer. Zorin, I'm coming home. I love y... Mom is coming. We'll get away. Mom is coming. We'll get away. Mom is coming. We'll get away. Mom is coming. We'll get away. Mom is coming. We'll get away. Mom is coming. We'll get away. Open up! It's mom! Zorin! Open up! Zoran, open up. Zoran, it's me. It's mom. Zoran? Let me in? Mom! Zoran. Zoran, what are

you doing? Open up for me. I'm not safe mom. I don't care. Open the door Zoran. Open the door. Please! I'm not safe. OPEN THE DOOR! PLEASE! Open the door! (dramatic clank) (distant humming traffic) (distant siren wailing) (pattering footsteps) (door creaks) (knocker bangs) (Carlos knocks) (door creaks) (door rattling) - Hey, I'm-- - Name. - I was told to come to this address-- - Name. - Carlos Ramirez. Junior, just call me Junior. I, (sighs) look, this isn't a hoax or anything, is it? Look, I m

et this guy, he gave me this card, he didn't-- - Gimme the card. 2,500. - It's nice, this place. (quiet, suspenseful music) It's trending, you know, that old ghost house style-- - Would you please stop talking? I've lost count, I have to start again. (quiet, suspenseful music) - [Carlos] Sorry. - Take off your jacket and your shirt and your pants and socks and shoes. The more skin contact, the better your chances. (loud bang) (Carlos sighs) (thumping footsteps) (creaking, distorted music) Relax,

(tinny thumping) have a seat. (creaking, distorted music) (bed creaks quietly) Are you here for the high? Most do it for the high. - Yeah. Yup, I'm here for the high. Who's Riley? - My son. (creaking, distorted music) Swallow, just a little. (quiet, suspenseful music) - Did he survive? - No, he was pre-vaccine. - I'm sorry. - Everyone lost someone. Open your mouth. (brush quietly swishing) - How old was he? - Six. Don't spit, swallow. Now lay down. (bed creaks quietly) - [Carlos] You must miss

him. - Roll around in the sheets. (bed creaking) Now stand up. You remind me of him. - Is that why you chose me? The guy who set this up, he said, he said you were picky, and that he sent you a picture of me and said it was part of the pro-- - The incubation period is approximately 10 minutes. (timer clicks) If you would, please, follow me to the attic. (quiet, suspenseful music) (Carlos breaths nervously) - I don't know if I can do this. - Why are you here? - I told you, I'm here for the high.

Look I, I don't know, it's weird. - It's always weird. - (sighs) I lost my boy too. And my wife. She had gotten sick and we didn't know and she turned. (quiet, humming music) She attacked my, she attacked my son. (mutters) I hate her. (shuddering) I try not to. I thought maybe if, (breaths deeply) I could feel what she felt then I could understand. I could forgive her. Maybe, I don't know. - Climb the ladder. (slow, ominous music) (quiet ticking) (ominous music) Have a seat. (slow, ominous music

) The restraints are for your protection and mine. (hissing buckles) (clicking clasps) (quiet ticking) - All the sores on your arms, it's the vaccine shots. How often do you infect yourself? - Almost everyday. - That can't be good for you. - I'm careful. - I heard people who use too much get like aneurisms or some shit, I don't know. Little to no warning. I'm sure it's just an Internet rumor or something. - No, I've seen it happen. First you get a headache and then your nose bleeds and then you'

re dead, no time for an ambulance, no time to say goodbye, just dead. - You still do it. (timer ticking) (sighs) Must be a hell of a high. What does it feel like? - It's beautiful. After the 10 minutes are up, I'll give you the vaccine whether you're experiencing symptoms or not. If the virus is in your system for too long, whether dormant or active, the vaccine becomes less effective. (quiet, dramatic music) (Carlos muttering fearfully) - Come on! (arm squishing) (Carlos muttering fearfully) (f

earful breathing) - Do you like meat? - (clears throat) Yeah, briskets and chicken on my pizza. I can't say I like uh, human flesh very much. - When the virus kicks in, this arm will look like the most beautiful fucking brisket you've ever seen. (timer ticking) - (coughs) Why? - Excuse me? - (coughs) Why do you do this? - [Woman] Which part? - All of it, why do you sell all of this? (timer ticking quietly) Yeah, it's always weird, right? (timer ticking quietly) (woman softly laughing) - My son l

ives in that virus. The germs in that room are Riley's. When a client is infected, it's like he's here with me. I can see him in the eyes. I swear I can almost feel him. Sometimes I can even hear him calling my name. (Carlos coughing) I can take care of him again. - (coughing) No, (coughing) I want out, I'm calling it. (coughing) I want out, I'm calling it! - You're so close. - I changed my mind, give me the shot. - Just hang in there, let me see Riley-- - Oh no, you can have the (mutters), just

get me out. - Please. - Just give me the shot. - Please. - (mutters) Give me the shot! (Carlos coughing) Just get me out! (panicking) Get me out. (panicked breathing) (coughs) (muttering fearfully) (labored breathing) - [Woman] There you are. - Get me out, get me out, get me out. (mutters) Please give me the shot. What are you doing? Give me the shot! (woman attempting to sooth) - Now now. (Carlos grunting) No baby, calm baby, calm. (Carlos sobbing) - Mama's here. (Carlos whimpering) (timer tic

king quietly) (Carlos grunting) - Get this off, get me out. Fucking crazy bitch. (hand smacks) (woman gasps) - Oh my God! Riley, I'm so sorry! (Carlos muttering) I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, baby, I didn't mean to. I love you, I would never, (high pitched humming frequency) I'm so sorry. (high pitched humming) I'm sorry. (body thumps) (Carlos breathing heavily) - Oh shit. (panicked breathing) Hey! Hey, get up, give me the, (sobbing) (Carlos grunting) (chair cracks) (wood thumps) (Carlos grunting) (l

abored breathing) (chair thumps) (Carlos thumps) (Carlos grunting) (quiet, suspenseful music) (chains rattling) (suspenseful music) (timer ticking) (suspenseful music) (Carlos grunting) (suspenseful music) (Carlos gasping) (timer ticking) (slow, distorted music) (timer ticking) (timer rings) (dramatic strum) (chainsaw buzzing) (Eddy gasping) - [Man] Oy, don't, Riley! Get back, bloody grab her! Fucking get her! (Eddy yelling) (melancholic music) (bird squawking) (foreboding music) (leaves blowing

) (footsteps scampering) (animal crunching) (Tasmanian devil shrieking) (substance squishing) - [Eddy] Oh. (Tasmanian devil shrieking) (ominous music) (animal grunting) (camera clicking) (Eddy screaming) (melancholic music) - [Possum] Oy, Alice, Eddy's back. - [Eddy] I did it, I got the footage. - [Alice] You did? (Tasmanian devil shrieking) - See? Proof, they can't log it now. These devils will be safe. And here's the den. (camera dinging) My lecturer is going to love this. (foreboding music) (

Eddy gasping) What? - It's infected. This area is supposed to be clean. Oh shit. Just what we need. - [Eddy] Oh no. - [Alice] Eddy, hide your gear. - [Riley] We've come for the farewell party. - [Alice] Who's leaving? - Oh-ho-ho. You are, you little shit. Look, you've had your fun. You've made your point. Now piss off. Oh, he's got kids to feed down in the valley, and bloody school, and I've got bills to pay. It's high time you pushed off. - [Alice] These forests are public land, mate. - [Riley]

Really, well guess what, smart ass, we are the public. - Yeah, and so are we. - Well, I bet you can't even name that tree over here. Or that one there. - It's dogwood, humaderus apetala. And that big one's a Eucalyptus delegatensis. - Who's this then? Uni student? (foreboding music) - Probably just another fucking blow-in. You know what we do to fucking blow-ins around here? - [Alice] Look, easy does it, mate. - I'm not your fucking mate. - [Alice] No one needs to get hurt, okay? You've made yo

ur point. - So you'll be off then, mm? Well, just say the word, we'll leave. It's really bloody- - Hey, boss. I reckon we can cut this big one down real easy. (Possum yelling) - [Eddy] Alice! - You drop that tree and you will kill her. Look, mate, it's not worth it. Think of your family. - I fucking well am. - Get off me, you creep. - Listen. Get off me! - Listen! Either you get her to climb down now or Todd here, he'll cut her down. - We'll leave today. - Shut up, Eddy. - [Riley] Oh, good girl.

What sort of student are you? - Science. - Oh fuck, science. (Tasmanian devil shrieking) (tense music) (Eddy grunting) - [Eddy] Please. - Oops. (computer dropping) - No!

We're gonna watch you burn! (Eddy grunting) (ominous music) I'm sick of these bitches! - All right. - Hey. You in there, bright spark. (Eddy yelling) Is she sick, or somethi
