Let's get out of here!

Get back here!

Please, do not hurt me.

I want to remain normal.

Do not hurt me.

If not injected

within a period of 36 hours,

the spread of the virus in the body

become unbalanced .

These statistics are undeniable, not the case

single to prove otherwise.

And we all know the consequences.

We do not have an official number

compared with the first outbreak.

But most of us have

experienced at least one case.

However, we believe there's millions

deaths worldwide.

Outbreaks can not be compared to the tragedy

Other known in modern history

Trauma is what drives

us to start looking for solutions.

And ten years later, the protein

of "Who Came Back",

is a great gift to the people

humans are commendable.

So, after the outbreak

The second inevitable.

we were able to save

many people.

"That Has Back" is a person who

ever contracting the virus and suffering,

but at the same time good luck

large has addressed immediately.

As you know,

the virus is still there.

We can not turn it off.

For now.

But now at least we can

control if it arrives on time.

Protein "That Has Back" as

barrier, as a retaining wall.

The virus is still there, but the daily dose

keep it at a safe distance.

This problem of lack of natural proteins,

ended with the creation of synthetic alternatives.

It will be a long treatment

infected for life, guaranteed.

Cutting funding from private

would be a disaster, believe me.

For "Who Came Back" is, of course,

but for society as a whole.

Yes, but there are two things awkward.

Please, everyone is free

express an opinion.

You are very friendly.

These people,

is a time bomb.

Before we found the protein

synthetic, they are a threat.

If the first dose is skipped.

One:
there's no way back.

Precisely that is why we

need to continue to investigate.

True, and this treatment is very expensive,

which takes up all of their lives.

Yes, I do not deny it, but face

another epidemic like 20 years ago ...

- There are alternatives.

- ... It would be much more expensive for everyone.

There are other alternatives.

Please share with us.

That could put them live in special camps,

Outside the city, far

of the children.

- Or we could destroy it.

- I do not say it.

But you think about it.

Therefore, get rid of

smokers, diabetics,

and obesity as us.

I mean, besides we need

many costs, too unpleasant.

Well, that was ... different.

Too harsh?

No, no, no, you just

Just call it "Fat dumb".

He was stupid,

is so fat,

and now I have

prejudice against fat people.

Yes, among others.

He thought he had a lot of money?

Who? The Fat idiot?

No.

F*** him, everyone is so meaningful

because you are very attractive, right?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but

natural proteins can be extracted only

spinal fluid of infected

of those who have died.

Fortunately there is little "That Has Back"

But it also means a lack of resources

from which to extract the protein.

Exactly, this vicious circle,

so "That Has Back"

both protein deficiency.

This has led to restrictions imposed

in access to treatment,

consequence of this restriction,

is what worries the government,

especially after tensions in recent weeks.

- Please fill $ 60.

- My father in, pay it there.

- $ 60.

- Good.

BACK:

Thank you.

All right, everyone,

good music.

I come to work nights, no food in the oven.

I love you.

Damn, just spent half

night, I am not accustomed to shift work.

Get used to now, only three

shift, your turn is almost complete.

I know.

That's perfect.

I mean, I think Tristan and

Josh can go home early.

I hope, Josh here

in a long time.

Where are you going? Close to the wall.

You! there. Come on!

Calm and silent, there is no

relationship with you.

It is, thanks.

You must have nerves of steel to

take care of the zombies, right?

Why are you

crying and shaking?

There are no zombies, meraka

"That Has Back".

What did you say?

Listen b*tch, because it seems

You do not understand my language.

They are zombies.

Is that clear?

They are not zombies.

They are zombies.

Repeat again!

I'm telling you,

they are not zombies.

And I say

they were zombies.

Repeat again, b*tch.

Come on, tell me.

Fine, I'll put a bullet in

This b*tch's head. Tell.

They are not zombies.

Forget them!

We have to get out of here!

It's your lucky day.

- Do not move a f***ing muscle, it is clear?

- Let's get out of here!

Who is responsible?

I ...

Oh, God ... I ...

I have never seen

something like this.

This is the first time.

Unfortunately.

Let's take a look

A video recording.

I told you, they

wearing a mask.

Sabentar again will come reporters

vultures (scavengers).

There is nothing more they like

rather than a piece of fresh meat.

Go home.

Yes, thank you.

What is it?

Honey, it's okay.

Unfortunately, all is fine.

Network what? That's what we do not know,

and they do not have leadership

However, many people firmly

condemned this action.

Network "Anti That Has Back"

condemned the criminal acts such as last night,

we always did.

Yes, but never before

we have seen that good action.

What do you think causes

increase in these attacks?

- Fear.

- And fear justify such barbarity?

Do not cut off my sentence.

That's right, the Department of Health to control

most of the "Who Came Back",

but we also know

there are loopholes in the system.

There are a bunch of out of control

physicians, such as the homeless, for example.

- And they are tolerant to the protein.

- Yes, like that, exactly.

Do you remember what happened when "Who Came Back"

stop taking their daily dose without warning?

In less than 24 hours without

treatment of the person attacked five people.

He killed them all.

Crazy people, crazy f***ing

commit suicide.

Do you think the scale is justified thousand people ...

Yes, God ..

All right, calm down.

So, how long rest?

- One month.

- A month?

Kate, I need you,

you're the best doctor.

Please at least tell me you will ensure

fundraising conference alright.

Please.

No, it's not going to stop.

Thank you God.

Are they kidding?

The girl at the clinic wanted

I went to his house.

He said more secure.

But he lived many miles away.

What I should accompany you?

No, I think better go alone.

I do not want people to know

about you, even now.

Hi, do you know where I

see the building manager?

Yes, go up the stairs apartment No.. 4, there

the words "Administrator" on the door.

- There is the view when you entered?

- Not.

I mean, I do not know for sure.

So, next time be sure,

just in case.

Yes?

After the attacks of that day, I

can not be much of a hospital.

So I no longer think there again.

For two-class women,

like us, do business.

Is there anything else?

I mean money is not a problem.

Yes, of course. But realize too

risk taking inventory.

Only I can take

few at a time.

We have not received

letter from the lab this week.

What?

Other hospitals also so ..
