I killed her.

Why should I believe you?

Did you kill Doug and his wife?

Did you?

They found me in their boat shed.

I had to get off the mainland

and make a crossing.

I knew that I was the carrier.

So I made them take me out to sea.

They got it really quick.

Maybe because they were older, but...

What would you have done?

What would you have done?

You knew we'd be infected.

You knew it wasn't outside.

It was in you.

You took me in.

You took me in. I couldn't stop that.

But I couldn't let you go outside and

risk infecting others. I had to contain it.

I had to contain me!

But I swear to you...

I never wanted to kill anyone.

Oh, my love...

It's gonna be... It's gonna be fine.

It's gonna be fine. Don't...

What have you done to us?

You knew it worked.

I couldn't have you contacting anyone.

...members of the public. An armed

and dangerous man has escaped

from a secure military compound

in your area.

Private Jack Coleman was last seen

wearing green combat fatigues.

Under no circumstances

should you approach him.

Avoid any contact.

Report all sightings to the authorities.

This is a high-alert open military

broadcast to all members of the public.

- An armed and dangerous man...

- You tell them.

I can't do that.

I can't do that.

You tell them what you've done.

Do it!

This isn't gonna bring Martin back.

You tell them what you've done.

This isn't gonna help us!

Come in. Come in. Over.

Come in. Come in. Over.

This is HMS Walker.

Please identify yourself.

If you have come into contact

with Private Coleman

and have any symptoms of infection,

we have an antiviral vaccine.

Now you believe me, that is lies.

They want you to hear that!

That's not true!

We have a vaccine.

No, Kate...

- Martin could have been saved.

- No. There is no vaccine for this.

They didn't even know what it is I have!

They just want to know where we are

so they can come and kill us both!

Please believe me.

We're never gonna leave this island.

We'll never leave it.
