Maggie
Dad.
I've gone to the city.
Please don't come for me.
There's a curfew here.
Just... just keep them safe.
I'm sorry.
I love you.
You are listening to NPR.
I'm host, David Newborn,
and this is Global Position.
Now for today's top headlines.
Months after the initial
worldwide outbreak,
national and local governments
are beginning to suppress
the necroambulis
virus epidemic.
The Department of Agriculture
has found no solution
for infected, dying crops.
Agriculture Officials
are encouraging farmers
to burn their crops
in a desperate attempt
to destroy what may
be preventing growth.
- Please return to your homes.
Curfew is at 8:
00.While citizens of
inner cities and metropolitan
through quick response
and quarantine,
weekly infections reports
have dropped 30%.
Cleanup and martial
law are still in effect.
Medical officials,
along with the CDC,
have been tight-lipped
about a cure or vaccine.
As for the infected,
scientists are now suggesting
that an elevated sense of smell
is the telltale sign
as "the turn."
Check this one
for infection.
- Look at that skin.
- Yeah, we caught another, 10-4.
- Curfew-breaker.
See if infected, over.
Get her here.
Doctors with stage
hree patients are reminded
quarantine pickup
is at 1700 hours.
Sir? You shouldn't be in here.
This is the shelter for the
infected. It's dangerous.
But my daughter is here.
-What's her name?
-Maggie.
Marguerite.
Marguerite Vogel.
Marguerite Vogel...
Mr. Vogel?
Your daughter's bite wound
was very severe.
Now, we may know
a lot about this,
except that we
can't stop this yet.
more signs of aggression.
She's gonna lose
her appetite, and then she's
gonna get it back again.
Look at me.
When that happens,
take her to quarantine.
I wouldn't normally release
someone with her type infection.
I'm doing this
as a favor for Vern.
Say your goodbyes and
get her straight to Blaire.
I'll send all the necessary
paperwork to Vern.
He'll follow up and answer
any questions you have.
Good luck, Mr. Vogel.
Dad? Dad!
- I'm sorry.
- I've been searching everywhere
for you.
I'm sorry.
What did he say?
The doctor?
Vern helped us
get you out.
Stop picking at it!
-Where are you going?
-Inside.
-Mag.
-I'll be fine.
Hello?
Hello?
Maggie? Maggie?
Get in the truck!
-What's wrong?
-Just do it right now.
Come on. Go.
Mom! Daddy's home!
Slow down, honey! Oh!
-Did you pack your bag?
-Mm-hm.
-Is Pretty Pony going?
-Mm...
You're not
taking Pretty Pony?
-Got everything you need?
-Yeah.
- Molly!
-Daddy!
We missed you.
-It's so good to see you.
-Hey. Hey, Moll.
What happened to your arm?
Oh, uh...
I just got hurt.
I scratched mine.
-Who fixed yours?
-Uh, the doctors.
Is that where you were?
Yeah. It took
a while for them to fix it.
I missed you.
Dad said you were sick...
but you're dying, huh?
Bobby...
A few kids at my school
got infected.
I knew one of them. Steven.
I didn't like him much,
but... I don't think
he deserved to die.
Does it hurt?
No. Not anymore.
Why do we have to stay
with Aunt Linda?
Because I'm contagious.
Mom's afraid we'll get it.
Hey. Go on,
and be nice to Molly.
Bobby?
-I missed you, kiddo.
-Missed you, too.
- Ready?
They tell us that
patients have days left
before what
they're considering
the final stage.
And stay tuned
at the top of the hour.
We'll be in conversation...
Why don't you get settled
and help me with the dishes?
Caroline is fixing us
something to eat.
I'm not hungry.
Allie called a few times.
Two weeks?
You spent two weeks
Yeah.
I made a promise
to your mother,
Yeah, but...
what about you guys?
-What if I hurt you?
-Don't worry.
Caroline and I,
we know the precautions.
You shouldn't
have brought me back.
You have to eat something.
For me.
I'll try.
Maggie?
Where are your bandages?
I'm so glad I came down.
I know, I know. I...
I just can't look at it.
I can't see it,
knowing what's
going to happen to her.
I just can't do it, Wade.
I'm...
I'm sorry.
I just don't understand.
I...
I keep asking Him
and asking Him,
but... He's not
giving me any answers.
Wade?
-You've reached Fred and...
-Ken.
And we're
currently out on the farm.
Leave us a message
and we'll get back to you.
Oh, that was awful.
That was
pretty funny, though.
What do you think about
No, you need
to stop pretending
bad things ain't
happening out there.
Bad things?
Well now,
as the government sanction...
...people are ID'ed
in the system and sent
home with families.
They even have
forced appointments
who report back
to the hospitals
in the cities.
And if they violate
their allotted time,
- Yeah. And how long
does it take to turn?
How long is
that allotted time?
They say six to eight weeks
for any one person to turn.
But, well, we know
it's different depending
on who you are.
And what if someone
turned early?
I mean, how many people
they gonna hurt...
Maggie!
No. No.
You don't
do that and then leave.
You don't send half of them
home to their families
and hope they come
back to be killed.
You just kill them.
That's all.
Mag! Are you okay?
Your finger!
--Come on, I've got you.
- Here, sweetie. Sit down.
-Caroline?
-Let's see what I have.
I'll call our doctor.
- Yes, it's Mrs. Vogel.
- Caroline Vogel.
Yes, I'm-- I'm calling
about my stepdaughter.
It's urgent.
- It's an emergency.
Get behind me.
Nathan.
No, don't!
Please, Dad. No. Please!
- Go home. Just go home.
--Please, say something.
- Nathan, please.
I asked him
to say something.
Maggie used
to babysit for her.
It had to be done.
Bonnie was wrong
for what she done.
-Was she?
-She kept them in the house
and didn't notify anybody.
She should have brought
them into quarantine.
We had damn near the
whole station out there.
Now we can't
even find Bonnie.
Look, Wade.
When the time comes...
-Now, Ray...
-I know.
I know what you're thinking,
but... it's for the best.
two could have done today
if you hadn't
have been out there.
Quarantine rules apply
to everybody, Wade.
-I mean, wake up!
Look at the--
-Holt!
Go call the trucks down
from Owensboro.
Tell them we've got
Holt.
Unbelievable.
Now, Ray, you and I,
we go back a long ways.
You've always
done us right,
especially after
Sarah's passing.
But I swear to God,
if you, him, or anyone else
come out here for her...
She's my daughter, Ray.
Trucks will be
down here in the morning,
pick up the remains.
Wade...
Think about what
you had to do today,
what you might have
to do in the future.
How is she?
She asleep?
