Plot Synopsis

The story begins with a man sleeping on a scaffolding in the middle of Barcelona. He is awakened by a boy screaming "Someone please! Help me!" while banging on a door, he is also being chased by 7 walkers. The man rushes down the ladder on the scaffolding as the walkers catch the boy and devour him, the man manages to distract one walker. He shouts at it saying, "You people are very sick! I don't want to hurt you!" He hits the walker in the head with his flashlight, popping one of its eyes out of its socket, then trips over a can as he's walking backwards.

Before the walker could get at him, a woman in knight armor comes along on a Vespa, killing the walker with a poleaxe. She tells him to get up and get on. He says that they have to save the boy. She says that it's too late and asks if he speaks English. He says that he's American and she tells him that "Most of Spain is convinced it was foreigners who brought whatever the hell this is here."
