Dzień Tryfidów Odcinek 2

Having narrowly escaped death on Hampstead Heath, Bill Masen is left wounded and on the run with his new, unlikely companion, Major Coker. Together they flee London and chance upon a beautiful abbey in which a commune has established under the leadership of the enigmatic Joan Durrant (Vanessa Redgrave: Atonement, Nip/Tuck, Venus.) Bill is shocked to discover that despite being surrounded by Triffids, the abbey is never attacked. At first it seems almost idyllic, blind and sighted working together in harmony without fear of attack, but very soon Bill realises the chilling secret behind the Triffids' docile behaviour. Durrant is sacrificing the weakest of her community as food for the plants. When Bill reveals the truth, there is an uprising and Durrant is ousted as Mason sets off through Triffid infested country to find the house of the one person who knows as much about the plants as himself, his estranged father Dennis (Brian Cox: Zodiac, The Escapist, The Bourne Supremacy) En route he meets two young sisters, who have survived alone against the odds, and takes them under his wing. Meanwhile, in London Jo has realised Torrence's sinister intent and barely escapes with her life. As Bill finally reaches his father's house with the girls, he is astonished to find Jo has been brought there by Dennis. The joy of reunion is short lived when the Triffids start to pollinate. It is now a race against time as father and son work tirelessly to find a way of destroying them before they destroy mankind, but their attempts are stopped dead by Torrence and his army. With his newfound family to protect, Bill Masen is caught in the crossfire between the bullets of Torrence's subordinates and a fast approaching horde of Triffids, whose single objective is annihilation. The odds against their escape are insurmountable - how will they ever make it out alive?
