He misses his beloved wife and daughter, consumed by the outbreak, and he fights against his loneliness to maintain mentally sane. When Dr. Morgan finds the contaminated Ruth Collins, he uses his blood to heal her and he becomes the last hope on Earth to help the other contaminated survivors.

Ben, what's the matter with you?

Nothing. And I'm going to keep it that way.

- Look, let's talk about this.

- There's nothing to talk about.

You think I'm out of my mind.

You laughed at me and my theory.

You might be one of them.

Look, you're ill. You ought to see a doctor.

No doctors.

You take care of your life.

I'll take care of mine.

Now get away from here.

You understand? Get away from here!

If you're looking for anybody but me,

forget it.

- Are they all gone?

- That's right.

Is there any hope from the latest reports?

No, not yet.

But believe me, Morgan,

we'll find an answer.

When, Doctor?

We need it right now. I need it!

You're the only one

who wasn't afraid to come here today.

What's going to happen, Dr. Mercer?

Is everybody in the world going to die

before someone finds the answer?

No, I don't think so.

I don't deny that there's some

strange evolutionary process going on.

But mankind won't be destroyed.

The fact that you and I

are working here today...

is evidence of that.

All right. Let's roll.

When?

I called a doctor. I had to.

I told you not to call anyone.

Bob, she was blind.

She couldn't see.

She kept reaching out her hands,

and groping for me.

And all of a sudden she was gone.

And they came...

and I tried to stop them. They took her.

I saw a truck out there.

Was that it? Was it?

Yes.

I'm sorry, lady. There's nothing I can do.

Let that truck through. Get out of the way.

Get back, folks. Nobody's allowed out there.

Please, all of you. Get behind those lines.

Look sharp there. Move. Move along.

Make way for that truck. This way.

Hey, you, mister! Come back!

Did this truck just come in

from Market Street?

I said, did this truck just come in

from Market Street?

Mister, I don't know.

Hey, you don't belong in here. Get out.

- I said get out!

- I want my daughter.

A lot of daughters are in there,

including my own.

Bob, I can't see!

I can't see!

No.

I won't let them put you there, Virge.

I promise.

I won't let them put you there.

Let me in.

Who is it?

Who's there?

We're going to kill you, Morgan.

Do you hear?

Do you hear, Morgan?

If Cortman thinks he can get to me

by destroying my car...

his wits are getting dull.

This convertible would be nice.

Probably handles well.

But I can't think of comfort.

There was a time when I shopped for a car.

Now I'm looking for a hearse.

This station waggon will have to do.

Alive.

It's alive.

Wait. Don't run away!

Come back here.

Don't run away!

Come back. Come back here!

Wherever he is, I've got to find him.

If I have to search every street,

every house, every alley...

every inch of this town, I've got to find him.
