He follows Crystal chased by zombies and she stumbles upon Maggie, a woman in shock that has just lost her daughter. They seek shelter in a loan store while Jordan arrives in the border but is sent to quarantine. While the military under the command of General Lyons want to bomb the city since Zombrex is ineffective, Chase, Crystal and Maggie fight to reach the border.

I'm telling you that

Zombrex didn't work.

Startling, live reporting from Chase Carter.

Contributing reporter for...

... Hit Point Digital.

Do you know a way out?

Casey has a map.

Casey?

Casey was your daughter?

Do you think she's gonna be alright?

- Hey, watch the road!

- Look out!

Come on.

- Come on!

- Idiots.

- Hey, it's dead, it's dead.

- No! No!

Wait! Wait!

No! No!

Hey, open the gate.

Open the gate!

Open the goddamn gate!

Com'on, Jordan, pick up

the goddamn phone!

You know, instead of just standing around,

you should be looking for weapons.

A weapon?

What weapon?

This place is full of junk.

Do you need me to hold your

hand for everything?

Make one.

- Use lethal force if necessary.

- What?

The virus could be airborne.

Airborne?

If anyone gets out,

it can kill millions.

Jesus.

Are you crazy?

You, go back.

You can't come out.

What? No.

Turn around now.

No.

Walk.

- Now.

- Come on.

Listen, I'm not going back out there.

Help!

- Help!

- Wait! Let us in!

Sh*t.

Close the gate!

Watch her.

- No! No!

- Wait! Help us!

- Let me in!

- Come on, let us out!

Come on, open the gate.

- Please, let us in!

- Now!

Chase, where the hell were you?

I was 15 feet from the goddamn car.

You left me.

No, listen, they were all over me.

I couldn't see you.

Where are you now?

In some pawnshop downtown.

- Are you out?

- Come on, let us in!

- Please!

- Open the gate!

Yes, I just got through.

- Help!

- Help!

Jo?

What's going on?

I don't know.

Turn back!

Open up the gate.

Get away from the wall, now,

I have orders to shoot.

- Open up this goddamn thing now!

- Let us in!

Come on! This is my family right here.

Jesus, What are you doing?

The virus is airborne,

they could kill us,

This is your last chance,

get away from the wall.

Open up, please. Open up the gate!

Take her to quarantine.

Wait! What does he mean?

Com'on, please,

my family, save us.

Dad!

Wait!

Jo, you still there?

Chase,

Chase...

They shot people.

They're shooting people.

Listen, you gotta get me out.

I don't...

I don't think I can.

Wait.

We should stay here tonight.

There's no where to go, anyway.

Why not?

They're shooting people at the wall.

We're trapped.

Authorities now suspect that

the East Mission virus is...

... resistance to Zombrex.

Some media outlets are reporting

that may communicable ...

... through touch or some kind

of airborne contact.

In response FEZA stopped all

evacuation efforts...

... and have sealed the city.

For a view from inside,

go again by

Hit Point's, Chase Carter.

Chase,

Those rumors are

completely false, Susan.

I'm with a small group...

... right now, and we're all fine.

If you can pass

the virus by touch...

... or by some airborne transmission,

we'd know it.

Are you sure you're not infected?

I have no symptoms, the people

I'm with have no symptoms, we're fine.

Do you feel the government

has abandoned you?

You're damn right I do.

What right do they have

to keep us here?

Frank, does the Government have

the right...

... quarantine our corespondent?

It's a zombie apocalypse,

And you're talking about right?

Jesus Christ!

Chase, Where I'm I look...? Chase.

Hey, listen,

you just keep reporting, OK?

You're doing a good

job in there, my man.

Alright, Frank, let's get back...

... to the topic at hand.

I'm sure that the government is...

... working hard on a fix.

The government is working hard

on not shitting it's pants.

If this is a resistant strain...

... they're going to burn everyone.

OK, we don't know that

they are going to burn anyone.

- No...

- We don't want to cause panic out there ,

What are you talking about?

If you're on the inside of this one, ah, sh*t,

You are really f***ed.

OK. Fantastic.

Celebrity isn't going to

get you out of here.

Making people care might.

Drink.

Thanks.

Hey, Maggie.

Look, know it might be hard.

But can I interview you?

I don't know...

I don't think that I have anything to say.

Well you know,

sharing your story...

... it might help you with

what happened to your daughter.

OK.

Great.

OK.

Go ahead.

Casey, she...

You have to understand that her dad...

... left us right after she was bitten.

He...

...blamed me, I guess.

I was in the kitchen when it happened.

I got two of them.

But the third one...

... got to her crib.

It didn't do much damage.

You can barely see the scar,

I just...

I don't get to her in time.

So, it's just her and me now.

And she's not lust my daughter,

she is my best friend,

And we struggled...

Well we still struggle.

But we get by.

And it makes us stronger.

You know, closer.

Even when she isn't in

the same room as me...

She is all I can think of.

I can't wait for you to met her.

She is such a wonderful little child.

I'm going to feel much better

when I get to her.

You should eat.

You've got to keep up your strength.

Turn around, and put

your hands on your head.

- Okay, just calm down,

- Do it now!

I'm not infected!

Turn around, and put

your hands on your head.

- OK!

- Now!

Stop.

Just relax.

I would like to save at

least one person today.

Hey, you know how to use one of these?

Yeah.

You want to tell me what's going on?

We think it is a resistant strain.

The evacuation is closed

until we know for sure.

You were the last person

through the gate

And if it is positive?

Let's hope that's not the case.

- Hey.

- Jordan...

...I'm with a girl,

and she is infected.

Well, I'm sitting in a

plastic room...

... waiting for them to decide if

they are going to shoot me or not.

Is she showing symptoms?

I saw her shooting up Zombrex.

And it worked.

That proves that

it isn't a resistant strain.

So, her drug is different?

She's different?

Either way, that girl is evidence.

It's a huge story.

A story that could kill me in my sleep.

Oh come Chase!

She is still human.

She's probably terrified.

And given the panic here, she

is your best shot...

... To convince FEZA to left her out.

Then, you need to stay with her.

All I have to do is get her on camera.

If I can get something,

can you get me out?

Yeah.

Yeah, I'll do everything I can.

And Chase...

... just make sure you know how

exactly how much she has left, okay?

Yeah.

Hey?

Hi.

Here.

Thank you.

My daughter has one just like it.

Yeah.

Yeah, I know.

Don't worry, I'm going.

It's OK.

I know how it feels.

Casey and I have to

deal with it every day.

But you're not alone.

I always tell Casey that

in situations like these...

...that you have to

hold on to your friends.

They're not easy to find.

Well...

Thank you, but...

...I've got to go.

I'm almost out of time.

You're clear.

And I'm guessing that it's your truck,

messing up my camp.

Hey!

It's not a resistant strain.

Yeah, where did you go to medical school?

My partner is in there.

One of the people he's with has her

own Zombrex and she is fine.

How do I know that?

Send a copter,

bring them out and test her.
