Don then escapes downriver from the infected, emerging as the sole survivor.Īfter the Rage outbreak destroys and wipes out Britain, over the following twenty-eight weeks, the infected die from starvation, and a US-led NATO force enters London and begins repatriating the city with Britons who escaped during the exodus of infected Britain in the outbreak. While Don gets into the motorboat and starts it up, Jacob falls into the river and is infected by the infected who have waded into the waters after the survivors, then killed by Don with the motorboat's propeller-blades. With dozens of infected in hot pursuit, Don flees across the farmland to the river dock, where Jacob is attempting to escape by a motorboat. Don tries to convince Alice to flee but she refuses to leave without the boy, and when the infected corner her and the boy in a bedroom, Don abandons his wife and the boy and flees the cottage by himself. At the same time, Alice follows the terrified boy upstairs to try and save him, while Don follows to try and save her. The infected break through even as Geoff stays behind to hold them off, and he and Sally are both overrun while Jacob escapes through the barn window. While Don briefly holds off the infected getting in, the group flee and get separated into two: Alice and the boy flee upstairs, while Geoff, Sally and Jacob try to escape through the cottage barn. On their first attack, Karen is infected and then killed by Don. While explaining this, the cottage suddenly comes under attack by the infected, who have followed the boy. Don reluctantly lets the boy into the cottage, and, while having food, the boy says that he is from the nearby town Sandford and has been fleeing from his infected parents and a horde of many other infected. As the group all sit down and eat, they suddenly hear a young boy outside banging on the door and begging to be let in. Don and Alice have two young children, who were saved from the outbreak in Britain by a school trip abroad.

It's a devastating ending for Cillian Murphy's character, and cancels out much of the hope found in 28 Days Later's onscreen conclusion.Don Harris and his heterochromic wife Alice are holed up in a remote countryside cottage in England during the original outbreak of the Rage virus in Britain, and are preparing dinner for four other survivors there with them: the elderly Geoff and Sally, the cold and steely Jacob and the helpless Karen whose boyfriend abandoned the group.

While Jim's violent actions were the direct result of him being marked for death by the military men, and the soldiers also attempting to rape his friends, apparently that didn't matter to the authorities, as Jim was arrested and sentenced to death by firing squad. This fame didn't stop Jim from being punished for the deaths he caused while liberating Selena and Hannah from Major Henry West ( Christopher Eccleston) and his malevolent group of soldiers at Worsley House.

The trio was dubbed the Manchester Three, based on where they ended up, and became famous due to being the first survivors rescued from Great Britain after the outbreak took hold. However, that safety would only be temporary for Jim. In the 28 Days Later comic book series, published by BOOM! Studios from 2009 to 2011, it's revealed that the plane did in fact see the trio, and took them back to safety in the rest of Europe. The three spell out HELLO from the ground to try and catch the attention of a passing plane, but it's unclear if they'll be rescued or not. 28 Days Later ends with Jim, Selena, and Hannah taking refuge at a remote cottage, Jim having recovered from his gunshot wound.
