Maggie Page #2
Her finger is gone.
She made sure of that.
I got it all bandaged up,
but she's still refusing
to go to the doctor.
I figured that.
What did Ray say?
He said that Bonnie
kept them locked up
for a while.
Too long.
I killed them both.
No. You, uh...
-There was something
in their eyes.
-Wade.
You can't do this
to yourself.
Bonnie should
have taken them in.
And what about Mag?
What happens
when she gets close?
Don't think
about that right now.
Just... just...
Let's enjoy the time
we have with her.
-What is it?
-Shh.
Wade?
Stay here.
Bonnie?
It's late.
How's Mag?
About as good
as she can be.
Doctors gave us
and papers for children
with her condition.
"Lock subject
in room at night.
"Avoid touching subject
without gloves."
Never once said her name.
Julia.
She's just four.
She was scared.
She slept with us most nights
as it was, so we'd...
We'd take turns
with her through nights.
She got worse.
didn't wake me for my turn.
Next morning, door was locked.
Locked himself in with her.
I pounded and pounded
on that damn door,
cried till I couldn't no more.
Still, never answered.
But he knew.
He knew what he was doing.
Take me to where they're at.
Dad! There's
someone on the phone.
- Hello?
- Mr. Vogel?
-Yes?
- Yes. Hello, sir.
This is Mr. Garmen
from the quarantine unit
of St. Mary's Hospital.
that we've scheduled
a follow up appointment
with Dr. Vern Kaplan to track
your daughter's progress
in advance of quarantine.
Tomorrow we're
gonna go and see Vern
about your finger.
No arguments.
You hear me?
James, Carrie,
get over here.
Right now!
Come here,
sit by Mama.
--Wade.
-Vern.
-Maggie.
- Okay, take
a deep breath for me.
--Let it out.
Lungs are clear.
Scans show that the asthma
has receded already,
and your heartbeat
is abnormally strong.
That's a good sign.
Now... let's have
a look at your arm.
Looks like the origin site
is spreading.
Maggie,
what happened here?
- She broke it.
- I cut it off.
Why would you
do such a thing?
What good's a finger
if your arm's falling off?
Maggie, your arm
is not going to fall off.
Now, there's a lot we don't
know about this thing,
but this decay, it'll stop.
Your arm is yours to keep.
You got me?
I'm gonna take
a sample, okay?
Allie's been
asking about you.
Said she tried
to call a few times.
I know she'd love
to hear from you, so...
give her a call, okay?
Doctor's orders.
All right, all done.
All we gotta do now
is put a dressing on it.
I'll have Judy come in
and take care of that.
There you are.
She's strong,
but from what I've seen,
it's progressing fast in her.
Pretty soon, she ain't
gonna want any food.
She's gonna
want something more.
Skin will start
smelling like meat.
When it finally happens,
you're gonna have a few choices.
One, take her
to quarantine.
I'm not gonna do that.
I wasn't suggesting it.
My report will say
she's progressing slow,
so it'll buy you some time.
Option two:
We give her the cocktail
they'd give her in quarantine.
At least this way she'd be
with you when she takes it,
and not a bunch of strangers
But you know how she doesn't
She will feel this.
Reports say
that it's painful.
Extremely.
All the way up till the end.
What's option three?
Make it quick.
Caroline,
the food is delicious.
Oh...
Ah, the stove is shot. I...
Some of it's really...
You think this is funny? Hm?
--Well, no dessert
for either of you.
Is that a threat
or a stay of execution?
Why do you even still
have this piece of crap?
Well, because
You know,
Caroline had four cars now,
-and they all broke down.
-Yeah, I know.
I had to pick her up
the last time.
- What did you pick her up in?
You see?
What are you reading there?
Uh, it's called
"Morning Light of the Past."
It was in one of Mom's boxes.
It's like
really, really weird.
Your mother was a bookworm.
Until today, I still don't
know what she saw in me...
because she had everything.
She was smart, beautiful,
-and she had those long legs.
-Okay. Okay, Dad. Thank you.
-That's enough.
-What? I mean,
I'm just saying.
I mean, the whole time we dated,
she always pushed books on me.
She always
wanted me to read more.
And I just didn't have
the time with the farm and all.
-You read to me all the time.
-Only because she made me.
I remember just
before you were born...
and I bought
And your mother had
a hell of a green thumb.
And there was this one book
that I read to you
over and over.
It was called, uh,
"A Daisy's Journey."
That's actually
how you got your name.
-There's a Marguerite in it?
-And your mother
loved those flowers.
She just loved them.
And she was so strong.
I mean, every time
she did.
You have a lot
of your mother in you.
You know that?
You know, maybe
it was the, um, truck.
What?
Why Mom loved you.
- Well, that's for sure.
- My truck.
No!
No!
--No! No!
Maggie? Allie's here.
Hey. Oh my God.
There she is!
- Shut up.
-Oh...
-Hi!
Where have you been?
Oh. Well, I haven't
been feeling too well.
- Yeah?
-Yeah.
Well, how are you
feeling right now?
-Uh, right now?
-Yeah.
Um... why?
Okay. All right.
Trent and Candace
and a few other people
are going out
to the reservoir tonight.
I know it's not like
a super fun trip to KC
or whatever,
and I doubt our parents
are gonna let us out
much further than that.
-Trent's going?
-Yeah. Did you hear?
Yeah. How's he doing?
I don't know. I mean,
he seems all right,
but don't take
my word for it.
You should come see
for yourself.
Right.
Come on.
Everybody misses you.
They wanna see you.
I miss you,
and I'm not going
without you. Okay?
Hey, uh, hold on real quick.
-What?
-Here.
I found it on the couch
on this old thing.
I figured you
might wanna wear it.
-Thank you.
-Oh, it's nothing.
Go, get out of here
before Allie explodes.
Yeah, I know, right?
We are late.
And you have a nice
young man waiting for you.
Is it gonna be like
this all night?
-Um, yes.
-Oh god!
-Yes, it actually is.
-Take me now.
Oh, here we go!
- Hey! How are you?
- Hey.
-Hey!
-Hi. Long time no see!
I don't get why they're
opening up the school so soon.
-Gotta get back to normal.
-Normal?
What's normal about
all of this?
Now, we have
teachers missing.
Still have a bunch
of infected people.
No offense.
Not you guys.
But like the Andersons.
You know?
-How many more are like that?
-What happened?
She had them
locked up in a room.
Didn't tell anybody.
And they got out,
and Mag's dad found her.
Holy sh*t, Mag.
What'd your dad do?
Look, does it matter?
They're dead.
Point is,
she screwed up.
