Pandemic Page #4

How long do you think it will take

for them to send another team?

Maybe a day or a week, but they will.

- We just have to wait here together.

- What do you mean?

They're not gonna let me back into

the compound without you or the bus.

- Yes, they will.

- No, Wheeler was right.

They don't care about us. I need you.

But I can't wait. Dr. Greer said they

were gonna stop sending teams out,

that they were gonna lock

the doors and wait it out.

No, you're a doctor.

They will come for you.

No.

Not if they...

What?

Dr. Chase?

If you could get Josh back...

wouldn't you do whatever it takes

no matter the consequences?

I can save my daughter.

I thought she was dead, but she's alive.

And they won't... they won't be

coming for me, not if they know...

If they know what? What?

- Lauren?

- I'm not...

I'm not Lauren Chase.

- What do you mean?

- I came to the compound on an extraction.

I'm not a doctor.

No, I saw you.

You were with Greer. I saw...

I stole this...

from a doctor I found

in the street in New York.

Dr. Chase.

- My name's Rebecca Thomas.

- Why are you telling me this?

Because I thought you should know.

I was on a business trip

when the outbreak hit

and I should've come right back, but they

told me everything was gonna be okay.

And I believed them.

And then they told me I couldn't leave.

- They told me my family was gone.

- You put all of our lives in danger.

Gunner is dead because of you.

How could you do this?

How could you be so selfish?

I did everything I could

to get back into the city.

The only way was to pretend

I was somebody else.

I lost my family once,

because I didn't do anything,

because I trusted that someone else

would bring them back to me.

Now, I'm sorry that I lied to you...

but I need to go my family

and I need to go now.

You can't go. We don't have Gunner.

We don't have a bus.

If Josh were alive...

and you knew that he didn't have a week,

you would go to him, you would...

you would try no matter what.

Before when you wanted to change

the route to Sherman Oaks,

- that's where your family is, right?

- It's close.

- All right. I'm gonna go with you.

- You don't have to.

No, you're right. If Josh was still alive,

I would've done the same thing.

Besides if they haven't realized

you're lying, you're my only way back.

Okay. Let's see if this place

has water and weapons.

I can't see it. Can't... Denise?

Where did it go? Did you see it?

Help me. Help me.

- I can't see it.

- Hit it! Hit it!

I can't. Denise?

You came back.

I ain't dyin' a virgin.

What took you so long?

Come here.

Thank God.

First time I seen a Level 5 downtown.

If you ain't gonna trust no one else to touch

that, how bout you keep it with next time?

- Where the hell did you go?

- I hid in a bank. Retirement plan.

I saw y'all run up in here.

But did you talk to the doc?

- No response from the compound.

- I'm talking about the doc here.

- Another team?

- No, he's locked up in some hospital.

I told him I'd find you and call him.

He didn't even believe

I was with the team. Turn it on.

This is Dr. Chase.

Is there a doctor out there

who spoke with my driver?

Hello? Dr. Chase?

Yes, Dr. Lauren Chase,

extraction team 314.

- Thank God.

- Told you I wasn't lyin', motherf***er.

My name is Dr. Ward.

I have eight survivors with me.

- Can you rescue us?

- Ward...

- Are you the doctor from 313?

- That's right.

It was his voice on the call

that Greer played me.

We were on an extraction to Saint Mary's.

We lost our vehicle in the process.

We have one. Does your driver know

how to hotwire an ambulance?

- F*** yeah.

- Good. We're in the Presbyterian Hospital.

We'll be waiting for you

in the back entrance.

That's like three

or four blocks from here.

You really know

how to hotwire an ambulance?

Not so bad having a felon now?

Yeah.

Three blocks. We can run.

What?

Oh, sh*t.

- I was gonna say.

- What happened?

In the bank, I saw a dude like that.

I killed him, but...

Open it.

- Oh, my God.

- It's not bad. I can move, but...

- It can't be that bad yet. Stitch me up.

- She can't.

- We lost our first-aid supplies.

- Sh*t.

- Then we gotta get back to the compound.

- Wheeler, they won't let you back in.

- Those are Greer's orders.

- We are not leaving him.

- You came back for us. Yes?

- I'm here.

You chose to go to the compound and work.

You could've joined one of those gangs,

but you didn't because you wanted to help.

You wanted to help.

You want a second chance, right?

Yeah. I do.

Good.

We aren't going back

to the compound, not just yet.

We're gonna go the hospital.

You're gonna get us a car.

You're gonna drive to my house

- and we're gonna save my family.

- What the f*** are you talkin' about?

My husband and my daughter,

we're gonna go get them.

- You know about this?

- I'm going with her.

We get my family and I will get you

back into the compound

and have you treated for the virus, but

only if you do exactly what I tell you to.

- Yes or no?

- You ain't give me a f***in' choice.

- If I do, you're gonna fix this.

- Yes.

- Can you?

- Level 1 infections can be treated.

Then, yeah. F*** yeah.

You save me, I'll save your family.

Wait. What are you doing?

You wanna make it to the hospital...

I go ahead of you,

let you know if it's clear.

I'm already infected, so...

- f*** it, right?

- Are you sure about this.

What have I got to lose?

Sh*t.

Sh*t.

- They're gonna kill him.

- Get ready to run.

Wheeler?

What's happening?

- Are you okay?

- I think I just sh*t my pants.

What happened?

They wanted what I had,

which ain't nothin'.

So I said I seen a bus

a couple miles back.

- I think they bought it.

- Okay.

- Are we close?

- Yeah.

- It's just around this corner.

- All right, let's go.

- Where is Josh?

- What?

- I can't find Josh.

- Oh, sh*t. Oh, sh*t.

Over there.

- Come on, Denise.

- Josh...

- Denise, come on!

- Josh.

Come on, Denise.

Come on, Denise.

Doc, she's gone. Come on. She's gone.

Denise!

Denise! Denise!

No. Please. Please. Please. I'm hurt.

Don't hurt me.

You're a doctor, right? Right?

Please. Please. Please, no. No.

It's me. It's just me.

You're all right.

I'm so sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry.

We gotta go, all right? Come on.

I can't hear you!

- Are you Dr. Chase?

- Yes, I am.

- Who's he?

- This is my driver. Now let us in.

- No, he's not. He's one of them.

- F*** you, man. I'm the f***in' driver.

- He's my driver. You have my word.

- Why isn't he wearing his suit?

- We don't have time for this right now.

- Prove to me he isn't infected, both of you.

- Otherwise, no one's coming in.

- Let us in.

Okay. Wheeler, can you open my pack.

See. I'm not infected.

Now him.

Okay.

He's not infected. Now let us in.

Meet us down in the garage.

- You can take one of those.

- This one got gas?

Yeah. And most civilians don't even know

where the tank is on one of those things.

- Are you all from Saint Mary's?
