[ The camera focuses in on deceased hand with the thumb torn off. A fly buzzes around then crawls on it. The Survivors come into view. Bill puts a hand up to stop the others.
Bill: Hold up!
[ Bill crouches and scoops up Boomer Bile with his fingers.
Bill (examining the bile): Ain't seen anything like this before....
Francis: Jesus. Don't let that stop you from smearin' it all over yourself.
[ Bill glares at Francis, stands up, and wipes the bile on Francis's vest.
Bill: They're changing.
Francis: Argh! Damn it, Bill! Aw, it stinks!
[ Francis wipes the goo off while Louis chuckles. Suddenly, muffled crying comes from behind a nearby door. Bill looks at the door.
Zoey: Someone's still alive.
[ Zoey and Bill, crouching, open the door to a pitch black room.
Bill (whispered): Over there.
[ Zoey turns the flashlight connected to one of her pistols on and, walks through the room, panning the flashlight around. The crying gradually grows louder.
Zoey: Hello? Hello? Hey, it's okay... We're gonna --
[ Lightning flashes; the Witch is seen crouching in a corner, and is identified as the source of the sobbing.
Bill: Lights off!
[ Outside, Louis hears unintelligible grumbling. He turns and sees a Horde approaching.
Louis: Oh, ♥♥♥♥
[ Francis opens fire.
Louis: ♥♥♥♥! ♥♥♥♥! ♥♥♥♥!
[ Louis runs to Zoey and Bill.
Louis: They're coming!
[ Louis shines his flashlight in between Zoey and Bill, inadvertently startling the Witch.
Louis: What the--?!
Zoey: Run like hell!
[ Zoey runs out of the room. Bill fires a few shots, grabs the doorknob and slams the door shut. Louis pushes up against the door to prevent the Witch from opening it. The Witch pounds on the door. On the third strike, the Witch pierces a hole through it and reaches for Louis.
Louis: (screaming)
[ Louis steps back and begins shooting the Witch through the hole in the door.
[ One Common Infected reaches Francis, who shoves it away before resuming fire with Bill and Zoey.
Louis: How do you like that?!
[ The Witch dies.
Francis: Stick together!
[ As Louis begins to fire at the Horde, a Smoker from a fire escape above grabs Bill and drags him until he's hanging in midair. Bill exclaims in surprise
Francis: Hang on!
[ Francis shoots the Smoker, killing it. Bill drops to the ground.
Zoey: Guys?
[ Francis helps Bill up and fires his shotgun at an Infected from his left and fires at another with one hand.
Francis: Merry Christmas.
[ Zoey unstraps a pipe bomb from her waist.
Zoey: Fire in the hole!
[ The bomb flies in slow motion through the air. It lands several yards away where it explodes, reducing the remaining Infected to a fine red mist as The Survivors huddle behind cover.
[ A helicopter is seen flying overhead through the street, which Louis pursues. A Hunter is seen stalking him from the rooftops, and then follows him by leaping from building to building.
Louis: Hey! We're over here! We're not infected! Down here!
[ The helicopter proceeds, presumably not seeing him.
Louis: Damn it!
[ The screen changes to the Hunter's point of view as it hangs from the edge of the roof still stalking Louis. It then leaps from the building and pins Louis to the ground.
Louis: Get off!
[ Zoey knocks the Hunter off Louis and opens fire with dual pistols as it staggers back; Louis delivers a final headshot with his own pistol, knocking the Hunter onto a car with a car alarm, setting off the alarm.
Bill: Oh, this is gonna get bad.
[ Waves of infected pour over surrounding fences and streets. Francis looks at the horde with bewilderment. A Tank is heard roaring in the distance; a car flying through the air heralds its approach.
Louis: Run... or shoot?
[ The Tank is running towards the group, smashing the Common Infected around it as it gets closer.
Louis: Run or shoot?!
Bill: Both!
[ The group clamors into a nearby alley, continually shooting at the Tank and its accompanying horde.
[ Louis points to a ladder leading up a fire escape.
Louis: Get to the roof!
Francis: Go! Go! Go!
[ Francis stops at the base of the ladder, aiming his gun at the Tank.
Francis: Come on, come on!
[ Just as the Tank is about to smash Francis, Bill opens fire; the Tank retaliates by hurling its fist at him. He dodges, sending it through a brick wall. The enraged Tank grabs a slab of concrete and hurls it at Louis and Francis, who are now scrambling up the fire escape.
Louis: Heads up!
[ Bill reaches for the ladder; Zoey is seen holding off the horde from above.
Zoey: Go! I'll hold them off!
[ The Survivors climb the stairs to the roof of an apartment; the Tank climbs up the fire escape, but it gives way under its weight, nearly taking Zoey with it.
Zoey: Francis!
[ Francis grabs Zoey by the arm in time. Below them, the Tank falls back to the ground, the fragments of the fire escape falling onto it and crushing it. Francis and Louis pull Zoey up.
[ The exhausted Survivors take a moment to catch their breath.
Louis: We made it. I can't believe we made it!
Bill: Son, we just crossed the street.
[ Bill pauses to light a cigarette.
Bill: Let's not throw a party 'til we're outta the city.
