No. Just the anti-Cured

symbol.

Did they say anythin'?

No.

We'll do everything

we can to catch them

but, uh,

this sort of thing

it's not uncommon

in homes with..

Eh..

- You can say Cured.

- E... exactly. Yes.

You were right.

I can't keep them safe.

[SIREN BLARING]

I need your help.

They'll never

leave us alone.

We need something that

will make them listen.

[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC]

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Sergeant Cantor.

It's about Conor.

I think he's planning

something.

Dr. Lyons?

What's goin' on?

I asked her to come.

Sit down.

They took Jo.

We're gonna save her,

Senan.

If we have

one of the Resistant

they'll have to

take us seriously.

No more bombings,

no more violence.

What about the military?

Mm?

People could get killed.

It's mainly

defense volunteers left.

Scouts have

better trainin'.

You don't know what the

f*** you're talkin' about.

Joan, you can't agree

with this.

I have to save her,

Senan.

They're the same as us.

We can't stand by

and do nothing.

[CLATTERING]

[INDISTINCT CLAMORING]

[CLAMORING]

Get off, get off!

Run! Run, run, run, run!

Move, move, move!

Senan, come on!

Where are they?

Down. Get down.

- Get down. I said stay down.

- And the rest of them.

Get up against the wall!

Go look in the basement,

there are more in there.

Where are they off to?

Where are they going?

Where?

[CILLIAN LAUGHS]

[SEAGULLS SQUAWKING]

I told you

to stay away from us.

Senan told me

about the break-in.

I wanted to make sure

you were okay.

I know it was you.

You know,

for a while there

I thought you and I,

that we had something.

But it turns out you're

just like everybody else.

Scared.

And the truth is,

you're right to be scared.

No matter how much

we pretend..

...we're not

the same people anymore.

All because daddy

wouldn't get you a job.

You know,

I met your husband once.

Bless him,

he tried his best.

You're lying.

You should ask

Senan about him.

It's all very

Cain and Abel.

[INTENSE MUSIC]

[SQUEAKING]

No!

Senan?

Where's Conor?

[SNAPS FINGER]

What's he planning?

Senan?

He doesn't care

about you.

- He looked after me.

- He infected you!

You have to give me

something.

Before it's too late.

Before the withdrawal

is over.

[KNOCKING ON DOOR]

Time's up.

[EXHALES]

I can help.

I can help your family.

Isn't that what

Luke would want?

[POLICE SIREN WAILING]

Conor needs to see ya.

Hey.

12 o'clock.

The baths.

[DOORKNOB RATTLES]

[DOOR CLOSES]

Hey.

I'm sorry

I didn't come home.

What's wrong?

What happened to Luke?

How did he die?

- Abbie..

- Tell me.

I thought it would be better

if you didn't know the truth.

[SOBBING]

What happened?

- What good will it do?

- Tell me!

We were here.

We..

Luke thought that..

...maybe you'd been

trapped here.

But you'd already gone

by the time we got here.

Then there was

an Infected.

And he attacked me.

Conor.

Yeah.

Luke tried

to fight him off.

But it was too late.

And then he barricaded

himself in the bedroom.

I wasn't in control.

Believe me,

I... I didn't know

what I was doing, and...

How could you not tell me?

How could you sleep here?

- I'm so sorry...

- Get out!

Get the f*** out!

Get the f*** out!

[GASPS]

[SOBBING]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

I had to show you.

They're all the same

when they know the truth.

I'm your real family,

Senan.

You never had

any nightmares, did you?

Why should I?

This is Sergeant Cantor.

I need back-up

at the baths.

[WALKIE-TALKIE BEEPS]

On your knees,

hands on your head.

Understood.

We're on our way.

We will be

with you shortly.

Get down.

Now.

I'm arresting you

for the murder

of Cadet Jack Dermody.

I did tell you, Conor.

It's not your world

any more.

Cuff yourself.

Conor!

[GRUNTING]

Conor! Stop! Stop!

[GRUNTING]

[CANTOR GROANING]

[CONOR BREATHING HEAVILY]

Why?

Why?

I can't let you

go through with it.

People will get hurt.

I told you..

...there's always

casualties.

What're you planning?

Conor.

What're you

really planning?

It's already done.
