Are you okay?

What do you think it's

gonna be like out there?

It'll get back to normal.

You'll see.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

How long

were you infected?

Four years.

Did you have to be

potty-trained again?

[CHUCKLES]

Are you having

any violent impulses?

No.

Any nightmares?

Good.

They're there to remind

you what you did.

The suffering you caused.

The nightmares mean there might

be something human left.

Makes you wonder about those

that don't have them, huh?

[INHALES]

You'll report to me

every week.

Lateness will not

be tolerated.

Skipping work

will not be tolerated.

Anti-social behavior

will not be tolerated.

Basically you do

what I say

and your life will be..

...better.

Your sister-in-law,

Abigail Reynolds

has agreed

to take you in.

I didn't put

in a request.

Charlie Three Three Bravo,

this is..

Not everyone gets

to go home, Senan.

You should be grateful.

Bus ready to depart. Out.

Close the gate.

Delta Echo One Zero.

Bus passes,

checkpoint four. Over.

Charlie Three Three Bravo

this is Charlie

Two One Alpha.

- The last bus is loading.

- Get on the bus quickly.

- Ready the gate. Over.

- Single file.

Take your seats.

Charlie Three Three Alpha.

Transport departing

in two minutes. Out.

The cure was supposed to

be some sort of great hope

but things are

just gettin' worse.

That's not fair.

My daughter was released.

Whatever she did she can't

hurt anyone anymore.

People need to give

them a second chance.

We've given them

every chance.

They're not integrating. No

wonder crime's on the rise.

They're not

like us anymore.

They would if they were

given some choices

instead of being treated like

they were still infected.

Have you seen the news?

The violence?

The vandalism? There's

something wrong with them.

They're not human.

[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER]

They don't, they don't

have a worry.

They're just scum.

[OBJECT HITS GLASS]

[INDISTINCT SHOUTING]

Scumbags! Murderers!

Scum! Scum! Scum!

Welcome to the

accommodation center.

[SIRENS BLARING]

For those of

you going home

please make your way

to the left.

Which is my right.

Make your way

to my right.

Which is your left.

Left is home.

Senan.

You're not human!

You're not human!

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

Don't tell her.

We need to look out for

each other out here, okay?

[HELICOPTER WHIRRING]

Keep it moving, people.

Thank you.

Through that door,

please.

Don't stop. Keep going,

please. Through the door.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[INDISTINCT CLAMORING]

What are your thoughts on the

release of the Third Wave?

I think we can't

take any more.

I think the First Wave

and the Second Wave

have been

a f***ing disaster.

No one wants them here.

Not much against them.

Just... just no craic.

- Yeah.

- You know what I mean?

They just mope around.

Bit of a hum

off them, to be honest.

[INDISTINCT YELLING]

[SIRENS BLARING]

Oh, sh*t!

My uncle came back

in the First Wave.

And how is he now?

He killed himself

last year.

UN's pullin' out. Who the

f*** is gonna stay put?

They're out there,

right now.

Infected, Cured,

they're all the same.

Wipe the f***in' lot of them

out, that's what I say.

The government now face

a very difficult dilemma

of what to do with

the 25% of infected

who remain resistant

to the cure.

I mean, what they did..

I mean..

How do you get over that?

Repent!

Repent!

Hop on.

Ready, activate. Go!

Whoosh!

Is this it? Is this

all your homework?

Hmm. Great job.

[CHUCKLES]

You don't even need me.

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Hi.

I don't have to stay.

It's what.. It's what

Luke would have wanted.

Besides... technically

it's your house.

It hasn't changed at all.

I was... gonna hire

an interior designer,

but, um..

They all got eaten.

[CHUCKLES]

Sorry.

I thought that maybe if you made

it you would have gone home.

Cillian was born here.

And only uninfected US

nationals are considered.

I guess we're a risk.

Did they give you a job?

There was a..

...an opening

at the treatment center.

Why would you

wanna stay there?

It's just being

a porter again.

Luke always said you were

wasting your time with that.

Were you with him?

At the end?

We got separated.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

You wanna go say hi?

Hey.

[CLATTERING]

[SNIFFS]

[CLICKING TONGUE]

Are you one

of the Cured?

Yeah.

Will you be sick again?

I don't think so.

[CLOCK TICKING]

Is it nice to be back?

Yeah. It is.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[SIRENS BLARING]

Make your way to the

nearest evacuation point.

[INDISTINCT ANNOUNCEMENT]

- Abbie! Abbie!

- Even if a loved one.

Make your way to the nearest

evacuation point.

Luke.

Luke!

We have to go.

Abbie knows what to do.

Do you have

what it takes to join

the Irish Defense

Volunteers?

Well, call..

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

[DOOR OPENS]

Hi, Dad.

[CHUCKLES]

They have me working

as a cleaner.

It's ridiculous.

I thought maybe..

...you could put in a good

word at some firms you know.

Get me back

in the courtroom.

Please, Dad.

Mum wouldn't want this.

Don't you dare

mention her.

I saw what you did to her.

You're a monster.

Dad..

[GROWLS]

You must be the help.

She one of the Resistant?

What do you think?

[GROWLING]

Do you have any

medical training?

I was a porter.

Jesus Christ!

They take away

my staff and give me

a f***ing trolley pusher.

Hold her arm.

Are you here to help me or not?

Hold her f***ing arm!

[GROWLING]

[SCREAMING]

Good girl.

She's not attackin' me.

It's the same reason you

can't get chicken pox twice.

Once infected, your cells retain

a trace of the Maze virus.

She thinks

you're one of them.

- Where are the others?

- I don't have access any more.

They've allowed me to

continue caring for her.

She's all that matters.

We have to cure her.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

How could you

take one in? Huh?

Please, this

isn't the place.

They're murderers,

the lot of them.

Come on, love,

now's not the time.

Back off.

Murderers!

[KNOCK ON DOOR]

Can I make Senan

lunch tomorrow?

What do you

wanna make him?

If it's peanut butter

and chocolate chip..

...and I'm gonna
