This is Foxtrot

Sierra Nine Two.

There's been another

attack on a Cured. Over.

November Oscar 64

Papa Golf Twenty-Two.

Perimeter is secure. Out.

Twenty-six, seven..

[DOG BARKS]

Sierra Two One,

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

cut it in half.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Despite condemnation

from around the world

the Irish government

will commence

the humane elimination

of the resistant 25%.

The Taoiseach has called

it an act of mercy

insisting the hope

of refining the cure

is no longer a reality.

You.

- Hmm?

- You.

- He's the king.

- Gosh.

Can't we work

together, maybe?

Okay.

Cool.

[INDISTINCT CHATTER]

I was in prison.

This is worse.

We're treated

like lepers.

It's right that

they're scared, though.

I mean.. What we did..

Why?

Why is it right

that they're scared?

They're not

the ones living here

having their every

move monitored.

We need to march.

We need to stand up

and say..

[SIGHS]

You didn't tell her.

[SIREN BLARING]

You were right to lie.

They're all the same when

they know the truth.

They just want us

to continue

killing ourselves,

and solve the problem..

Did you see them?

The Resistant

don't attack us.

[DOOR OPENS]

They think

we're still infected.

What does that mean?

Means we're safer
