(intense music)

- [Man] Hello, Gretchen.

(gentle guitar music)

(Gretchen coughing)

- Thank you for choosing me.

- Not a problem.

We had several people apply for the test.

Once the interview process was over,

you seem like the appropriate choice.

Do you have any questions before we get started?

- Will it...

Will it hurt?

- Shouldn't hurt at all.

What we've created is a solution

that should begin attacking the cancer cells

immediately after entering the bloodstream.

You should start feeling better in just a couple of days.

- You really think this will cure cancer?

- That's the hope.

Tests have went really well on animal subjects.

We truly believe it's ready for human testing.

- I really appreciate this.

Friends,

family...

(unsettling music)

(Gretchen indistinctly speaking)

Just tired of being sick.

Tired of being tired.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

And Gretchen,

are you sure you want to do this?

- Positive.

- Okay.

(unsettling music)

- Doctor...

I don't feel good.

- Gretchen.

Gretchen!

(music intensifying)

Gretchen!

Gretchen!

(intense music)

(lively tempo music)

Yeah.

I need an ambulance down here.

(Gretchen growling)

(Gretchen hissing)

(intense electric guitar music)

(Gretchen growling)

What the hell?

Cancel that ambulance.

Tell Cade I need him down here right away.

I need him to get a report on this.

Thanks.

(ominous music)

Hello, sir.

- Good evening, William.

- [William] Keeping pets now, are we, sir?

- Don't you worry about him, what have you got for us?

Come on.

- The product of a decade of research.

As you know, I've been running tests

on different DNA sequences.

- Is that what you do up here?

- I believe I found a pattern that will--

- Is the product able to be weaponized?

- Weaponized, no.

My research has been dedicated to helping people,

to find a cure for illness.

Why would I even consider using it for weaponry?

- Certain...

individuals have become rather anxious, William.

- I'm sorry, Cade.

I'm a scientist and a businessman.

I have no desire to deal in arms.

If those individuals wish to start wars,

they'll have to do it without me.

- Is that what you would like us to tell them for you?

- [William] Yes.

(ominous music)

- How's that wife of yours doing?

Does she know what you do at work?

- Is that a threat?

- She's not exactly your type, is she, William?

Care to comment on that?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- A blending of the bloods is forbidden, William.

- I think it's time for you to leave.

This was supposed to be a presentation

on ways we could help people.

All people.

And you've turned it into a bigotry and hate speech

in just two minutes.

Don't you dare ever mention my wife again.

Don't your dare sick your dog on us anymore.

Get out.

Now!

(ominous music)

(door thudding)

- See that that gets to the council.

I suddenly find it necessary

to look into William's better half.

Natasha,

I'd like you to take care of that, please.

- Gladly.

(somber music)

- Hey, sweetie.

How are you?

What's wrong?

You didn't even come to bed last night.

- It's not important.

Look,

if anyone at any time

tries to approach you that you don't know,

don't have anything to do with them.

Don't answer the door,

don't help anyone.

If you feel as if you're being followed,

you call me, all right?

All right?

- Babe, what the hell is going on?

- I don't know.

I'm not sure yet.

- [Woman] Please be advised

that this is not a live telecast.

We're still unsure as to why the recently deceased

have come back and are attacking the living.

But until we know more,

it's important that you stay in your houses

with your doors locked.

It's the safest place for you right now.

Police and military personnel

have been given orders to shoot anyone on sight

that they deem a threat.

So the safest place for you is in your homes.

Please,

do not go outside.

(pleasant piano music)

- Shouldn't you be getting ready for work?

- I told you last night I wanted to spend the day with you.

- I'll remember that when you're complaining

we don't have money for the bills.

(woman giggling)

So what do you wanna do today?

- Well,

here, I have something for you.

- What's that?

- I...

tried to think of this whole big thing, you know,

but that's just not us.

- Of course I'll marry you.

But...

I want to eat.

I'm starving.

(pleasant piano music)

You go start breakfast.

I'm gonna go down and get the mail

and then I'll be down to help in a minute.

(gentle music)

Hey, Dick.

(man gurgling) Oh my God.

Are you okay?

(zombie growling)

(woman yelping)

(zombie growling)

- Did you trip or something, sweetie?

Oh my God, what happened?

No, no, no.

No.

(ominous music)

(punches thudding)

(zombie growling)

What the hell's wrong with you?

(shovel clanking)

(birds chirping)

(gentle piano music)

Oh.

No.

No, no, no.

(melancholic music)

(police sirens alarming)

(dramatic electric guitar music)

- Hold on to that.

(eerie music)

- What's the odds?

- The odds are three to one.

Old Boy's never lost.

Got some money?

(somber electric guitar music)

(exciting rock music)

(men grunting)

(man groaning)

- Hit him!

Hit him!

(exciting rock music)

Really?

Really?

(men groaning)

(zombie gurgling)

(ominous music)

(zombies gurgling)

(man groaning)

- [Man] Dude, come on, we gotta get out of here.

(ominous music)

(fighter screaming)

(blood squelching)

(neck cracking)

(unsettling music)

- It's time for our weekly review, Lucas.

How have you been feeling?

- Oh, I always feel great when I'm with you.

- Let's try and keep that to a minimum.

How did your physical go?

- As well as another man feeling on your balls can go.

But why don't you let me out of these chains

and maybe you and I can get out of here to go have some fun.

- [Doctor] I'm flattered, really,

but we need to stick to the review.

- What do you want to know?

- The same thing we leave off on every week, Lucas.

Why did you murder those people?

- Because I wanted to.

- All right, if you're not gonna take this seriously,

we'll just put you back in your cell.

- You've never quite experienced a rush

until you feel a human's energy just bleed from their body.

For those few seconds, everything else just falls away.

Oh, it's fun.

- And that seems normal to you?

- Normal, who cares about normal?

It's not my style.

See, I would do what I want when I want.

I bet you'd love it too.

- You don't know anything about me.

- I know you're a woman who puts

slightly more effort into her appearance than is needed

because she constantly feels inferior,

underpaid, underappreciated next to her male colleagues.

See, you feel punished because you were born intelligent

and beautiful.

Right there, right under the surface,

there's another side of you begging to get out

that you probably didn't even know existed.

You ever get a little taste of that?

They may end up plastering your picture up

on the evening news.

- Well,

that's interesting because what I see when I look at you

is a scared, arrogant man-child

who feels the need to assert his dominance over others

in the most violent of fashions

because, A, Mama didn't hug him enough,

B, the other kids picked on him,

or C, maybe, just maybe,

he's compensating for a little something.

Hmm?

- Not your most professional moment, huh, Doc?

You see how easy that was?

You as excited as I am right now?

(Lucas laughing)

(door thudding)

- [Cade] Oh, William, how nice of you to join us.

- You stole my research.

Over a decade of work and you took it and bastardized it.

- You can't seriously be accusing

the council of such a crime.

- Someone in this room has started the plague

that's gonna end the world soon enough.

I knew some talked about a final contingency plan, but this,

this can't be the way.

Have you all seriously gotten this desperate?

- Your accusations are bold and hardly accurate.

- I want no part of this.

You stole from me.

When the council hears about this,

they will punish all of you for undermining their authority.

- I am the authority, William!

Your loyalty is to me!

My word is law to you.

Besides,

the council was the one that weaponized your research.

(ominous music)

- [William] You all can go to hell!

- William, how's that monkey wife of yours these days?

Surely she's growing curious

about your inability to procreate by now, has she not?

You haven't told her about us, have you?

- You're out of your fucking mind!

- Natasha,

is that a formal accusation?

- It is.

- [Cade] Aaron,

will you escort William to the holding area

while we investigate this accusation further?

- This ain't over.

- I don't know what to tell you.

- And the outbreak?

- What's done is done, William.

- I volunteer to investigate the matter further.

- [Cade] Do it.

- Back for more, beautiful?

- You know the routine by now, I'm sure.

- Well, you haven't said much to me lately.

We've had some pretty quiet interviews.

- I really have nothing to say to you.

- Turn off the camera.

Oh, come on, there are two guards right outside.

I just want a bit of privacy, is that too much to ask for?

(handcuffs cranking)

- [Doctor] How did you get those off?

- Don't worry about it.

Relax.

Like I said, I just wanna chat.

If I wanted to kill you, I'd have done it already.

- So what do you wanna talk about?

- You and I.

See, I've taken quite a liking to you

and, well, I know you're fascinated by me,

so I suggest we just cut the tension

and get right down to it.

- Get right down to what, exactly?

- Well I know you wanna make a name for yourself.

Oh yeah.

See, I heard about you long before I came to this place.

I mean I was expecting some old wrinkly woman to be honest,

but I know you want to crack at the secret that is me,

so I'm offering a trade.

I'll take you deeper than anyone has ever been

and in return you get me out of here.

- Like that'll ever happen.

- Come on, sweetheart.

Give it some thought.

You know you want to.

- Lucas, you are never getting out of here.

(foreboding music)

- We have a situation here.

The outbreak isn't contained.

- That's impossible.

They said our city is secure.

- We need to escort the patients back to their rooms

and then we need to evacuate the building.

- We can't just leave them here to rot.

- [Guard] Just till the government

takes care of the outbreak.

They're saying 48 hours.

- Inquiring minds would like to know.

- People are dying

and they're coming back to life and eating each other.

Up to speed?

- Interesting.

- The other guards are escorting patients

back to their rooms as we speak.

I'm to wait here with you until someone comes to get us.

(intense music)

(gunshot popping)

(gunshots popping) (guard groaning)

(somber music)

- Why the hell not?

- You know why.

- This is ridiculous.

- I don't wanna have this conversation again.

- Come on, your dad's out of town.

- It has nothing to do with him.

- Still, about your mom, really?

- It's a big deal, all right?

Don't be an asshole.

- I wasn't trying to be, I'm just saying.

Your mom's been dead for like six months

and it's starting to affect our relationship, come on.

- You just don't get it.

It's like she's here, like she's around me.

And I don't know how to explain it.

- All right, look, your mom's not here.

What you're feeling is regret.

You weren't there for her when she died,

you're blaming yourself

and your dad's on the road all the time.

I'm really all you have right now, babe.

I've been patient but I can't keep doing this.

(phone buzzing)

- It's my dad.

- Don't answer it.

- Well, he left a voicemail.

Don't worry about it.

Listen to it later.

(foreboding music)

- Say something.

- Got anything to eat?

(gentle tempo music)

Sorry.

- [Man] It's okay.

I'm sure you're hungry.

- [Woman] I am.

- What's your name?

- Sarah.

You?

- [Man] Carter.

So, what are you doing here alone?

Is this your house?

- No, it's not mine.

Why are you here?

- [Carter] Imagine the same reason you are,

looking for shelter.

- [Sarah] I'm looking for my dad.

He's a truck driver.

- When was the last time you heard from him?

- [Sarah] Before everything happened.

- Are you from round here?

- No.

I first left and so did my boyfriend.

- [Carter] Where's he?

- He didn't make it.

- You know you can't stay here, right?

- What do you mean?

- It's too dangerous.

You can't stay in one place, if have to keep moving.

- Well, I like it here.

I can raise my baby here

and give it a semblance of some normal life.

- Until when?

Another group of those things wanders through here

and you have to fend them off when you're pregnant?

Or worse, with a crying baby in your arms?

- Nobody's telling you that you have to stay.

- [Carter] I can't have the blood

of a pregnant girl on my hands,

and that's what will happen if I leave you here.

- Where do you have it so much better?

- [Carter] I've got a couple leads.

At least as a chance.

- A shot in the dark is more appropriate.

And I'm not willing to give up this for that.

- [Carter] I think you underestimate

how dangerous these things are.

- I think you underestimate me.

- I just think that--

(metal clanking)

(zombie groaning)

(eerie music)

- Carter.

- Get back inside.

(eerie music)

So this is what you wanna stay here for?

Hillbilly Bob and the clan out there?

- Well, we're safe in here.

- But for how long?

There's a few of 'em now.

What happens when 20 more show up?

You can't stay in one place, you have to keep moving.

- I'm scared.

- Look, I'll protect you.

I'll make sure nothing happens to you or your baby,

but we have to move.

I'm asking you to come with me.

- All right.

- Okay, I want you to go to the front door.

When I tell you to go, you head that direction.

That's north.

I'll catch up.

- What about you?

- I'm gonna make sure these things don't follow us.

Now go.

Go.

(lively tempo music)

(zombies growling)

(eerie music)

It's not mine.

(ominous music)

- [Man] Hello?

- Oh, you're awake.

How do you feel?

Yeah, sorry about that.

You were thrashing and screaming in your sleep.

Plus I wasn't sure if you wouldn't

turn into one of the infected.

I wanted to take safety precautions.

I hope you don't mind.

What's your name?

- Trent.

Trent Walker.

- Well, if the reports are true, you should be infected.

I even took you to the hospital,

and when you didn't change,

they said maybe it was an animal bite

and you just hit your head.

You were slipping in and out of consciousness,

so they released you.

I didn't think you should just be left alone.

- [Trent] What are you talking about, infected?

- The bite you suffered from was from an infected person.

I'm sure this is all blurry to you at this moment.

What they told us on the news was that this was fast acting,

anywhere between four minutes and six hours.

You obviously have made it a lot longer.

- How long have I been asleep?

- You've been comatose for just over a month.

The bite completely healed itself in just over 48 hours.

You had a hell of a fever and seizures,

signs that the infected show.

- Did the doctor say anything when I was in the hospital?

- Are you aware that you have the HIV virus?

- Yeah.

I got it about a year ago.

- Well, the infected,

they pass on their infection by biting the living.

Once bitten, the disease enters into the bloodstream

and then the person dies.

The virus shuts the system down,

much like a venomous snake bite.

But the interesting thing about this infection

is that it reactivates the motor skills.

Do you know how HIV kills?

- [Trent] It attacks the immune system.

- Well this virus the zombie gave you

is apparently not immune to the HIV virus.

However, the HIV is not immune to it either.

But what this means is that

once that zombie infection entered your body,

the two began attacking each other instantly.

On a molecular level,

your body is allowing these two infections

to counteract each other.

What I do know is neither one is weakening anymore.

Neither is killing you.

In fact, your blood cells seem to be growing faster,

stronger, and more dense to combat it.

- How do you know all this?

- Because I'm a doctor.

They wanted to keep you at the hospital,

but I took you under my care when all hell broke loose.

- So why didn't I change?

- I don't know.

- Sir.

- The last test results?

- Failed.

They're out of test subjects.

Would you like them to take one from the pit?

- Yes.

You know, we've been at this for months

and we still can't find the right mix.

We can't figure out what we're doing wrong.

- It takes time, sir.

A vaccine won't appear overnight.

A new shipment will be arriving this evening.

Would you like them sent to the pit for feeding

once they arrive?

- Pick out two of sick or elderly.

Feed them and send the rest on their way.

Actually,

bring one to my room.

I could use a bit of company.

- Yes, sir.

(ominous music)

- Where are you going?

- I have to run to work.

- No.

You heard the news.

We need to stay inside.

- Sweetie, it's okay.

I'll be fine.

Lock the door behind me and stay away from the windows.

I'll be home soon.

(ominous music)

I love you.

- I love you too.

(gentle music)

- Are you hungry?

- So what do you do here?

- I'm a businessman,

sort of.

I'm working on a vaccine to help the infected.

- I'd kind of like to get back to the group.

My little brother's with them.

- In time.

Trust me, your brother's fine.

- No, I really think I should be getting back.

Ow, you're hurting me.

- It's not polite to run out on such warm hospitality!

(ominous music)

(girl gasping)

All I wanted was a bit of company.

- Can you at least untie me?

Obviously I didn't turn into anything.

- Let's just try it out for one more day.

- Come on, man.

I'm hungry.

You shouldn't be.

- I'm starving.

Untie me and I'll leave.

I can take care of myself.

Look, I appreciate everything you've done to help me,

but I gotta get out of here.

- I'm sorry, that is just not possible.

Relax, you're not going to pull yourself out of those.

- Why won't you just let me walk out of here?

- Everything that's happened.

I believe that you are the secret to helping others.

If you can be bitten and not change,

then maybe there's something we can study about you

that will help other people. (unsettling music)

- [Trent] How do you do that?

- It starts with blood tests.

Eventually I'll find someone who can use you

to create a vaccine.

They'll most likely have to salvage what they can

from your body.

- What does that mean?

- They'll probably kill you.

What?

Hey, what?

(doctor groaning)

(intense music)

(doctor screaming)

(eerie music)

- No food, no water.

No gas.

Hey.

Look.

(ominous music)

All right.

We need some stuff and we don't know what's going on here.

- So what do we do?

- I think you're up.

I want you to go make nice with whoever's in there.

When they're asleep,

you can let in and we'll take care of it from there.

- Is that really what you want me to do?

- That's what you have to do.

(somber music)

(Valerie knocking)

- [Man] Who are you?

- Please, I've been running for two days.

I'm tired, I just need a place to sleep, just for the night.

Please.

- Show me your hands.

Turn around.

Lift the bottom of your shirt.

All right, come in.

Here's a towel.

You might need it.

- Who's this?

- Don't touch that.

That's all I have left.

It's crazy you even asked.

Her name's Kate.

I remember one morning,

just kept hearing this loud banging around upstairs.

I mean, I thought maybe my parents were just

moving stuff around, you know?

They weren't moving anything around.

They were dead.

All I could remember is just her

bolting over furniture trying to get to me and...

and there were these things chasing her.

I couldn't take my eyes off of them.

Then I closed the door on her.

And I knew I could have done something.

I was just too afraid to do anything.

- I'm impressed.

No, I mean it, seriously,

the whole survival of the fittest thing.

You made the right call.

Did you love her?

I mean like really love her.

Because if you did, you wouldn't have locked her out.

I mean you would've died for her.

Sounds like guilt to me, not love.

- You know what?

It's getting kind of late.

Why don't we just get some sleep?

(insects chirping)

(ominous music)

(Valerie groaning)

Not polite to go through other people's shit.

(unsettling music)

(Valerie groaning)

By now I'm sure you realize that you're not

in the best of circumstances,

but it's all right, you know?

I mean,

I'm not a bad guy.

I'm just lonely, you know?

I mean,

the world's going all the hell and...

I figured I'd take advantage and just have a little fun.

- Fuck you!

- You know, honestly,

I apologize for this in advance.

But a man has needs, you know?

Those needs must be met.

- Lucas!

- You stupid bitch!

(sinister music)

- You are so fucking dead.

You don't even know it.

- Who's the one with the knife?

- [Lucas] Who's the one with the gun?

- What the fuck?

- Drop the knife!

Open your mouth.

- What?

- I said open your fucking mouth!

Not too fun when you're on the other end, is it?

Open!

Now I'm gonna let you go and you're gonna untie her.

Okay?

(intense music)

- There.

See?

Look, just take whatever you want.

I'm sorry.

- How many other women have you brought down here

and done to them what you were going to do to me?

- I don't know.

20 or so.

But I never killed any of them.

- No, no you didn't.

But you know what you did do?

You abused them and you raped them and you beat them

and then you threw them out in the hell

to do God knows what on their own.

It's okay, you wanna know our little secret?

We were gonna kill you anyway.

- What?

(man groaning)

(sinister music)

- We just need the missing puzzle piece.

- We don't even know what's missing.

- Patient number 122-892.

Brought into a CDC location three months ago

from Winslow County

and was to be brought here for further testing.

- I don't understand.

Anyone brought here had to have your direct authorization.

- And I gave it.

His blood test burned at the chain of command

when they were finalized

and I requested that he be brought here

under private security.

- [Arnold] Where is he?

- Agents were sent to pick him up.

The doctor from the hospital was the last one seen with him.

After that,

he disappeared.

- What's so special about him?

(thunder rumbling)

(exciting rock music)

- Stop!

Stop!

(men groaning)

Stop it, please!

(punches thudding)

(exciting rock music)

Carter, stop!

(men grunting)

Please, stop, please!

We didn't mean to intrude, we're sorry.

(thunder rumbling)

- Is this your home?

- No.

Just passing through.

- Anything worth stealing?

- Sunglasses.

(thunder rumbling)

(melancholic music)

- What is it?

- I think we're being followed.

- For how long?

- Not too long after we met.

- [Sarah] Hello?

Someone there?

- Look, I don't think screaming--

- Hello!

- Shut the fuck up!

You got a pretty big mouth, bitch, do you know that?

Just saying, I don't know if you've noticed,

but the world's kind of ended

and there's people trying to eat us.

So you might wanna keep it a little quieter.

- You need to watch your mouth.

- [Lucas] She can speak how she wants.

- Ooh, looks like somebody's about ready to pop.

Oh, I see, you knocked her up.

That's why you're being so defensive.

You two are a lovely couple.

What's your problem, big boy?

Hmm?

- I don't like you.

- [Lucas] Wow.

Direct, isn't he?

- Don't worry.

You'll learn to love me.

I promise.

- [Lucas] So where are you guys going?

- [Carter] Out for a stroll.

- Oh, that's nice.

Where out for a stroll to?

You mind if we stroll with you?

- [Trent] No, we're pretty set.

- [Lucas] Really?

I'd think you'd want all the help you guys can get.

- We already let Trent come along.

Maybe we just got off on the wrong foot?

- See, girly knows what she's talking about.

World's ended, we should stick together.

Onward and upward.

Good show and so forth.

- Carter,

Sarah, Trent.

- [Valerie] Lucas, Val.

- Let's move.

(gentle piano music)

- I'll be right back.

Hey.

Sorry about the rude remarks today.

- No worries.

- You know, you're not half bad.

But him,

keep him away from.

(gentle piano music)

- Where are you going?

- To find something to eat.

- [Valerie] What about you, what's your story?

- Me?

Army vet.

Came home a couple months before shit changed.

She's looking for her dad.

Last time she heard from him he was in this area.

- I'm going upstairs.

Come on.

(dramatic piano music)

- Lucas.

Stop, she's dead.

- It's not like she's going anywhere.

- What do you think she would've been?

I mean, if she would've lived.

- Who?

- The little girl.

- How would I know?

- Do you ever think about that kind of thing?

I mean, she could have been a doctor and cured cancer,

you know, grown up to cure whatever

the hell's going on out here.

- Did you ever think the other way?

She also could have been the worst bullied kid in school

and shot up everybody the next day.

- So the kind of thing you think about?

And what is it you think about when you see the bodies?

- You're the one who wanted in on this, this world.

What do you think I'm thinking about?

What's going through your head right now?

(gentle guitar music)

- I'm just glad it's not me under the sheet.

- That's always the best hope.

- Let's work on not getting bit then.

What would you do if I got bit?

- Depends on how long it'd take you to turn.

Keep you around for a little while.

- I appreciate that.

- If you get bit, I'll make sure to do the same.

Lucas?

(foreboding music)

(zombie growling)

- Carter!

- Lucas.

Lucas.

(zombie growling)

- Are you okay?

(Carter yelping)

(gunshot popping)

(ominous music)

- Are you all right?

- Bit.

- I'm so sorry, it's all my fault.

(Sarah crying)

- [Lucas] You wasted our bullets?

- I didn't waste them.

- And you used it to save them?

That's wasting our bullets.

Oh, this guy.

What a coincidence you show up after some shit goes down!

- I told you I wanted to find food.

Look, I heard you guys screaming from down the street.

If I heard them, so did any infected out there.

- That's fine.

You and I are gonna have some words later.

- I'm looking forward to it.

- Anyone ever tell you

you need some anger management classes?

- All the time.

(ominous music)

- Who are you?

- I'm sorry.

I'm a business partner of your husband's.

He got tied up at work and asked me to check on you.

I'm Natasha.

- I'm sorry.

Just a little jumpy.

- Not a problem.

So, how are you and your husband?

- Well, actually I'm a little concerned.

Will hasn't been himself lately.

Is there something going on at work?

- No.

I thought there was something going on at home.

- Everything's fine here.

You know what, Will's gonna be home.

He didn't want anyone in the house.

I think you should go.

(zombie growling)

Get off me!

Please help!

Help me!

(eerie music)

- Cade,

I was too late.

William must have left the door open this morning.

The infected got her before I could get here.

(ominous music)

- Good morning, Arnold.

- Sir,

we've had the girl removed from your room

into a temporary holding area.

She was pretty...

- [William] Go on.

- She was pretty beat up, sir.

I figured we could give her a couple of square meals,

maybe some new clothes.

Let her rest before sending her on her way.

(William laughing)

- Not an option.

Take her to the pit.

- But sir.

- There are still plenty of people

left out there alive, Arnold.

If word gets out about what we're doing here,

or what her experience was,

it will be problematic for us all.

People are so willing to give into anarchy,

not taking into consideration

the ramifications of their actions

if any type of orders to ever be restored.

- Isn't that what you just did though?

- I may have lost my temper,

but luckily my problem's easily solved.

Have her taken to the pit.

It's feeding time anyways.

- [Arnold] Yes, sir.

- Then I want you to go on patrol with the men today.

I have a list for you.

I need these items brought back to me this evening.

- [Arnold] Why can't the men handle it?

- Because I asked you to, Arnold.

Now, go.

- Yes, sir.

(ominous music)

I'm very sorry.

- Why are you doing this?

I haven't done anything to any of you.

- No,

no you didn't.

I promise,

it's almost over though.

- I need to see my brother.

Please.

- Go in here, get cleaned up

and I'll take you to him.

(smooth electric guitar music)

(zombies growling)

- [Girl] Hello?

Is anyone there?

- Lights.

(girl screaming)

(zombies growling)

I am sorry.

(somber music)

- Hey,

I think we could all use a couple hours rest.

You guys okay with that?

- That's fine, I'll take first shift.

I'm not that tired anyways.

Hey, where you going?

- I just wanna talk to him for a minute.

I'll be okay.

(ominous music)

Hey.

Hey.

- You should probably go back to your boyfriend.

- I think he can manage without me for a minute.

I just wanted to ask you something.

- What's that?

- What are you?

- I don't know what you're talking about.

- [Valerie] Oh, bullshit.

- Why should I tell you anything?

- [Valerie] I'm a doctor, call it professional curiosity.

- The last doctor I met didn't exactly get on my good side.

- [Valerie] Well, I don't give a about you,

to tell the truth.

There's two people I care about.

One of them is me, the other one isn't you.

I'm just curious.

Are you gonna tell me or not?

- A couple of months ago, I was at this fight.

I just won the fight.

When some person came behind me and bit into my shoulder.

That's the last thing I can remember.

Next thing I know, I wake up tied to a chair.

Some doctor kidnapped me.

He wanted to use me to find a cure.

- You okay?

- Yeah.

I'm just freezing.

- Well, you're burning up, how can you be cold?

- I don't know how much longer I can make it.

- Don't worry.

We're gonna find somebody who can help you.

(ominous music)

- Somehow I got faster,

stronger and I...

I heal quickly.

It gets worse when I'm angry.

My body, it can't control it.

I expect this to stay between us.

You don't want your boyfriend's secret to get out,

would you?

- What are you talking about?

- Oh, I know who he is.

- [Sarah] Hey, you fell asleep.

(sinister music)

(Carter grunting)

(music intensifying)

(Carter groaning)

(unsettling music)

- Thank you.

He bit you.

We have to tell them, we have to--

- You're not telling anybody anything.

(gunshot popping)

(Lucas groaning)

- What happened?

- Well, he turned,

finally.

She jumped in the way, I couldn't do anything.

- Are you all right?

- Look, we need to get out here.

If there were any infected in the area,

they'd have heard the gunshots.

(unsettling music)

- What's wrong?

- Someone's coming.

(unsettling music)

- Hello.

- [Valerie] Hi.

- How are you all doing?

Seem a bit worse for the wear.

- [Valerie] Had better days.

Who are you?

- I'm Dr. Arnold Smith.

These men and myself work for a private contractor

who's stationed not too far from here.

- And what does he do?

- It's a scientific research lab.

Trying to find a cure.

(ominous music)

- [Lucas] Well if you're working on a cure, we want in.

- [Valerie] Lucas?

- Look, it's the best option, we need to go with him.

- Is there any way we can see this place?

- Absolutely.

Come with me.

It's going to be a little cramped, big man.

Why don't you ride in the other car?

We're all going to the same place.

(foreboding music)

Yes, sir.

Three of them, side of the road.

All right.

I understand.

William would like to meet you as soon as we get there.

- Who's William?

- [Arnold] He's head of operations at the facility.

When everything went to hell,

it was established to provide a secure location

for us to operate in.

We still got running water, food, power,

anything you might want.

And it's completely safe.

Nothing can get in.

- Are there showers?

- Yes.

The building's a bit old but it serves its purpose.

William's got some powerful connections and they set him up.

- [Valerie] So who are all you to him then?

- Well, mostly people he's taking in.

There are a few on staff that were scientists

brought in to help him find a cure.

People like myself.

Most of the security and retrieval teams

are people we've happened across or happened to show up,

like yourselves.

We try to accommodate anyone willing to work with us.

(eerie music)

- Where's the other car?

- They're having minor car trouble.

Nothing to worry about.

They'll be here shortly.

Now, let's head inside.

William will be waiting.

(eerie music)

Sir.

- Arnold, here, tells me you're interested

in helping our cause.

- There may be progress in finding a cure?

- Actually, yes.

We've quite recently obtained

the missing puzzle piece we're looking for.

An initial trial should be synthesized by this evening.

- That's fantastic.

- [William] That is is.

- Oh, bullshit!

Now you got this guy over here telling us

that you take in people and help them out.

The only people I've seen so far

are either suits, docs or grunts.

No, no, everyone in here is either wearing

a lab coat or a rifle.

- Except for you.

You sit real pretty-like.

- [William] Everyone that is permitted to stay here

must be a useful member to our cause.

You're more than welcome to go back out

into that world at any point.

Certainly nobody here is going to force you to stay.

- Well, good, 'cause I damn sure don't like it here!

- Lucas.

We should stay.

They're working on a cure, maybe I can help

and you can work on the security team.

I mean, damn, this just makes me weep.

- This is me, remember?

I don't know what's gotten into you past couple days,

but you've gotten fucking boring.

- If it's any help,

why don't you allow one of my men to show you around?

You can get something to eat in our kitchen.

Get a shower.

We have an exceptional facility here.

You hear me?

- Please, I'm tired of running.

I just wanna be normal.

- Fine.

- Good.

Step out into the hall

and let my men know what I've told you

and they'll be happy to show you around.

- Sir,

do you think it's a good idea to keep them here

with us so close and the friend being contained?

- [William] Yes, for now.

Besides, I like them, Arnold.

Keep an eye on our gentleman friend though.

He's got quite the short temper.

- I can do that.

(heat monitor beeping)

- [Man] Vitals are steady.

Begin the test.

Start with a blood sample.

If it's what we're looking for,

we'll begin harvesting organs immediately.

(ominous music)

- So nice to have working showers again.

Look, new boots.

What's wrong with you?

You've been weird all day.

- Nothing.

- [Valerie] Why are you babying your arm?

- I'm not.

- Show me.

Show me.

(eerie music)

Lucas.

- [Lucas] I'll be fine.

Okay, they said they'll have a cure by the end of the day.

- No, they said they hope they'll have a cure

by the end of the day.

Why didn't you tell me?

- [Lucas] Because I knew you'd get like this.

I'll be fine.

- We need to tell somebody, maybe they can rush you.

- You tell them a bit person just walked into the labs,

they'll put a bullet in my head!

I'm not dying today.

Okay, we'll wait for them to finish it,

steal it, use it, then disappear.

You say one word and I will--

- You'll what?

Say it.

(unsettling music)

(Aaron groaning)

- [William] Hurts, doesn't it?

How did you happen to come into service of these people?

- [Aaron] I was out on a hunt.

Next thing I know, I take nine tranquilizers to the back.

Then I wake up wearing this fucking thing.

- I'm sorry for what you're going through.

I know the effects of the mask and how painful it can be.

- You're sorry.

You're sorry? (sinister music)

I can't even turn anymore.

I'm weakened.

This fucking thing has made me a pet!

You made me a slave!

I should rip your fucking eyes out!

- Again, I am sorry.

(Aaron growling)

I can get you out of it and you can still get out of here.

But you need to let me out too.

I need to get to my wife.

Please.

(William coughing)

- [Aaron] Will I be able to change again?

- Eventually.

The nitrate will remain in your bloodstream for a while.

Then, yes, according to my test,

you'll be able to turn back to normal.

(eerie music)

- I went to see your wife this evening, William.

- [William] If you touched her.

- I didn't lay a finger on her.

Check his restraints.

I told Cade that your wife was dead when I got there.

That you must have left the door open.

The fact of the matter is,

when I got there, she was perfectly fine.

She asked me to leave.

She was afraid you would come home and be mad

that someone else was in the house.

Well,

when she opened the door, one of the infected got her.

- [William] Is she alive?

- No.

See, I could have helped her.

She could have been fine.

But it fascinated me.

That and I wanted the opportunity

to come face-to-face with you

and tell you that...

I watched your wife bleed to death

on your living room carpet.

Because I hate her entire pathetic species

as much as I hate you for loving them.

I've already recommended to Cade that you be terminated

and he's considering it as we speak.

Humanity is over.

You should have taken your rightful place

and watched them burn.

With us.

But you fought us every step of the way.

- I'm going to punish you all.

Unfortunately for you,

you won't be around to see it.

(Natasha yelping)

If I let you out,

are we both gonna walk out of here like gentlemen?

- I don't think a fight would end well

for either of us right now.

(unsettling music)

(Aaron sighing)

(neck cracking)

Much better.

(William groaning)

I will let you walk out of here today.

But if I ever,

ever see you again,

I will rip your fucking heart out!

- Sir.

- What?

- Perhaps you should go easier on the alcohol,

especially being so close to the trials being finished.

- I'm celebrating.

How's our test subject doing?

- Vitals are stable.

They've already gotten a sample

and are in the process of synthesizing a test.

They'll bring you the vile when it's finished.

- Very good.

Go and check on our new friends.

Make sure they're not getting into any trouble.

- Yes, sir.

(heart monitor beeping)

- Hey.

- Ah, just who I was looking for.

- Yeah, how close are you to having the trial done?

- Hopefully soon.

- If someone were to take it, someone who'd been bitten,

would it keep them from dying, changing?

- In theory, yes.

Any particular reason you ask?

- Just curious.

Have you seen Lucas?

- I have not.

He isn't with you?

Doors, has anyone left?

- [Doors] No, sir.

- He must still be in the building, we need to find him.

- I'll go this way.

- No, it's best you stick with me, come on.

- [Man] By now you can tell

that the situation's not too good you.

I'm sorry to say it's only gonna get worse.

(heart monitor beeping)

(gas hissing)

- [William] Thank you.

- Where,

where's Val?

- [William] Not in here.

- They told me she was.

- [William] What is wrong with you?

Interesting.

Apparently my guards didn't check you

before they brought you into my facility.

Curious, though, why you chose to show me.

I figured you would just leave.

- I thought about it.

Can't.

I'm not thinking straight now.

- [William] Of course you're not.

The infection is spreading.

Tying off your arm only slows the process.

Makes the change more painful.

Had you cut off your arm quickly,

it would've prevented you from turning.

It's too late for you now though.

- How do you--

- [William] I know because it was my research

that was bio-engineered to create the infection.

You see, a group of individuals decided

it was best to cut their losses.

Humanity had become too unruly.

So they created a plague to end it all.

- Is that even possible?

- It's happened several times throughout history.

Sometimes humanity just needs to be thinned out a bit.

This time an infection was created

to be transferred through a bite like venom.

This, however,

this here is going to change everything.

(heart monitor beeping)

- [Man] Impossible.

Seal the doors and sound the alarm.

Go!

Someone get Cade on the phone.

Now!

(doors thudding)

(siren alarming)

- What's going on?

- Someone, report.

- [Doors] Test subject is free.

He's making his way to the main doors.

Boss ordered the lockdown.

- Keep me posted.

- [Valerie] What test subject?

It's not Lucas, is it?

- No.

The other one you were traveling with.

He's different.

We needed his DNA to create the cure.

It was the missing piece.

That's why you guys were brought in.

We've tapped into security cameras all throughout the city.

We saw you guys traveling

and we were lucky to happen across him.

- I don't know how lucky you were.

We were looking for you guys, actually.

I don't think he expected

to be made into a Guinea pig though.

- Small price to pay to save humanity.

- Apparently we didn't restrain your friend well enough.

Now, as I was saying, this file right here isn't a cure.

I never intended to cure anyone.

This is to give humanity a fighting chance

back against what lies out there.

- [Lucas] What is that exactly?

- All sorts of things.

Some of the worst,

most horrible nightmares you could possibly consider.

They've turned to a little more than human mythology.

I assure you, they are very real.

And humanity is definitely going to need

a fighting chance back.

- [Lucas] So there's no cure?

- No.

(ominous music)

- I don't like it down here.

- Nobody does.

It's where the pit is.

Infected subjects we use to test for the vaccine.

- How many are there?

- A lot.

- Well, if it's all the same to you,

I'd like to say go then.

I'd like to get in a bit of afternoon delight

if I ever find Val in this place.

(unsettling music)

- Now just because I don't have a cure

doesn't mean you're not useful.

I'm gonna need you to do one more thing for me.

- [Lucas] And what is that, exactly?

(Lucas groaning)

(eerie music)

(thunder rumbling)

- [Arnold] Someone report.

- [Guard] One moment.

- [Arnold] Is the pit still locked down?

(Lucas groaning)

(menacing music)

(thunder rumbling)

(unsettling music)

- Fuck.

(zombies growling)

(intense beat music)

- Now what do we do?

You got a gun?

- No.

- Wait here.

(exciting beat music)

(zombies growling)

Save the gun for last.

Use it if you get cornered.

If you get cornered and you start to run low,

I suggest using it on yourself.

(exciting beat music)

(Lucas groaning)

- What did you do to me?

- Feels good, doesn't it?

- More than you know.

- You'd be surprised.

(exciting beat music)

(zombies growling)

(William groaning)

(punches thudding)

- My turn!

(zombies growling)

(gunshot booming)

(intense rock music)

- What did you do to me?

- I gave you a fighting chance.

You should be thanking me.

(gunshot booming)

(exciting beat music)

(gunshot booming)

(Lucas groaning)

- What the hell are you?

- Your kind is weak.

You're nothing but another failed test.

- You're gonna have to do better than that.

(William groaning)

(eerie music)

- Come on, we're almost done.

- I'll go high, you go low.

(ominous music)

- You know, you and I,

it was never really meant to be.

I used you.

That's the fact of the matter, and now I'm done with you.

- [Valerie] But you saved us.

- You got me out of that box a while back.

The way I see it,

we're square now.

Take care of her.

- Lucas. - No.

Let him go.

- Don't follow me.

Next time I see your face, I won't be so nice.

(ominous music)

- Things are never gonna be the same, are they?

- No, they're not.

Monsters,

zombies.

Who knows what else is out there.

- So now what do we do?

- I got into this wanting to help and try to find a cure.

I'm gonna stick to that.

Coming with?

- What else am I gonna do?

- So where do you want to go?

- I hear Miami's nice this time of year.

A wise man once said,

it's not the strongest of species that survive

or the most intelligent.

It's the most adaptable that make it.

Somebody didn't factor zombie apocalypse into that equation.

(insects chirping)

- Why?

Why, out of all the cars you could have stolen,

millions of cars, you chose one with a quarter tank of gas?

How are we supposed to get to Florida

on a quarter tank of gas?

Are you that bad at math?

- I'm sorry.

I guess I forgot to check the gas tank

while we were busy running for our lives.

- You don't even fit in the car.

- I do fit in the car.

(wolf howling)

- What the hell was that?

- Werewolf, maybe.

Who knows?

Let's go find out.

- No.

No, I am not chasing after scary noises.

Arnold.

Arnold!

I don't even like dogs.

And we're talking big fucking dogs.
