Hi.

You people amaze me.

For being as...

for being as smart

as you are,

You're all being a little

short sided, don't ya think?

We're sitting on one of the

greatest discoveries known to man,

And all you can do

is resist it.

Do you have any idea the

applications this thing has?

The medical possibilities...

Alone... are... astounding.

Yeah, and Morgan, and Josh,

and that woman upstairs.

What were they? Just part of

your noble f***ing cause?

I had to improvise when

you opened the vial.

You stupid b*tch.

So, don't put that

sh*t on me.

They were a**holes

anyway, man.

You should be thanking me.

You should be saying,

"Thank you. Thank you, Raif."

What do you got there?

I'm only gonna ask you

this once more.

Then it gets ugly.

And try to keep in mind...

that those violent

tendencies...

they never really

go away.

Where are the vials?

Wait. Will you listen

to me for a second?

Think about what

you're doing here.

There's a lot of money

to be made here.

A lot.

We can all have a part in it.

C'mon, a product...

that lets you be

a completely new...

... person.

Who wouldn't want that?

People will pay anything...

... to get this.

We deserve it after

what he did to us.

Hold him.

C'mon, hang on

a second. C'mon!

Make sure his mouth

stays open.

Where are they?

F***. You.

We don't want it

to get infected.

Now...

Let's try this again,

shall we?

Where. Are they?

Or shall we see what

hole I can fit this into?

Hi, it's Raif. I'm not

here so leave a message.

Hi, Mr. Collins.

It's Eve from

the new age store.

I've been trying to get in touch

with you, but I guess you're busy.

Hello.

Oh, hi. Is Mr. Collins

there?

He's kind of tied

up right now.

Okay. Can you give

him a message for me?

I just wanted to thank him

for bringing those in today.

One day, and they're

almost all gone.

Do you know if he

has any more?

I don't... what are

you talking about?

The breath vials he

brought in.

I've sold almost all

of them.

I just wanted to find out

if he had any more on hand.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

You have them?

Of course.

I'll call you back.

What is it?

What did you do?

What did you do?

I told you.

I don't have them.

I already have a few buyers.

They just wanted to

see it in action first.

So...

I'm just gonna finish

what Kaminsky started.

But...

I'm conducting my...

... test on a slightly

larger scale.

Ruby. Keep him here.

Who all's going over?

Sounds good, but,

I can't, I'm...

... going out with

Ashley tonight.

Yeah I got her this dumb ass charm

that you breathe into or something.

She's into all that

romantic sh*t,

So this should definitely

score me some points.

Oh, she's here.

I'll call you back.

So what's up, Ash?

Hopefully you.

Hey, I gotta call

Tim back. Alright?

I'll be back here

in a minute.

Yeah. I'll give you

the details. Don't worry.

Alright. Later.

Ash?

Where are they?

Where's what?

The vials Mr. Collins

brought in.

They went really fast.

I couldn't believe it.

Is this all that's left?

Yeah.

Do you keep track of who

buys your merchandise?

No, not really. People

pay cash. There's no need.

Why? -- Hey!

How'd that cut heal up?

All better now?

Probably about the same

as your shoulder.

I dunno.

I remember slicing

you pretty deep.

You don't treat

something like that...

right away...

it's gonna end up lookin'

real f***in' nasty.

Maybe I'll give you

one just like it.

I don't think so.

Nothing personal.

Susan, it's Nina.

Look. I came to the store cause

I didn't know where else to go.

Just call me back when

you get this. Okay?

It simply isn't safe to

enter what they're now calling

"The hot zone".

Again, if you're just

joining us,

We're coming to you live

from Hamsted, Maryland,

Where chaos has broken out in

this normally quiet community,

Apparently due to some type

of unknown infection.

Swat and hazmat units

are on the scene,

And police are urging everyone

to stay away from this area.

If you are in

the hot zone,

They're asking that you call the

number at the bottom of your screen.

Outbreak hotline.

Who am i speaking to?

Hello, my name is Nina Carver.

I'm inside the hot zone.

Can you gimme your

exact location?

Yes. I'm at a curio shop

at King's Crossing --

Hey. You alright?

Yeah. Thank god. I thought --

What are you doing?

Waiting for your friends.

Hey, there you are.

Traffic?

Surprised you made it.

Sounds like world war III

out there, eh?

Wow, where's...

where's Ruby?

Oh! She won't

be joining us.

Ever again!

No!

Whoa whoa whoa. Easy.

Easy, fella. It's just Ruby.

Right?

There's no reason to

involve her in this.

Okay okay okay okay!

Just tell us what

you want.

I want what's in your

stupid f***in' head.

The drug Kaminsky

created.

Okay? And I got all

the time in the world.

We can stay right here

til you remember it.

I have nothing to do.

You have any plans?

For leaving?

Okay.

Okay. Here.

There it is. Show me.

Show me. Let's go!

Alright. Okay.

Let's go!

Okay.

Ah-Ah-Ah-Ah!

C'mon, man.

Really? Did she just

tell you to do that?

That's a stupid f***in'

move. Open it.

Open it!

See?

See?

Alex!

Don't move! Don't move!

Get your hands up!

Lemme see your f***in' hands!

Don't shoot. Hold your fire.

Is everybody alright?

Police are reporting

today.

That the outbreak of violence

today in the community of Hamsted.

Has been brought

under control.

At this hour,

150 are known dead.

With over 60 others

suffering minor wounds.

But still no word on the cause

of the outbreak of violence.

The source of last night's

horrific event.

Is still under

investigation.

Hey.

I thought you might

need this.

Oh. Thanks.

I'll add it to my

collection.

When she's 60,

I'm still gonna be this age.

I'm just not real sure how

I'm gonna deal with that.

It does get easier.

The violent urges never

completely go away,

But, you can learn

to resist them.

Ruby helped me.

I'll help you.

Is that what I think it is?

Yep.

What are you gonna

do with it?

I'll show ya.
