Maggie Page #3

I pounded and pounded

on that damn door,

cried till I couldn't no more.

Still, never answered.

But he knew.

He knew what he was doing.

Take me to where they're at.

Dad! There's

someone on the phone.

- Hello?

- Mr. Vogel?

-Yes?

- Yes. Hello, sir.

This is Mr. Garmen

from the quarantine unit

of St. Mary's Hospital.

We're calling to inform you

that we've scheduled

a follow up appointment

with Dr. Vern Kaplan to track

your daughter's progress

in advance of quarantine.

Tomorrow we're

gonna go and see Vern

about your finger.

No arguments.

You hear me?

James, Carrie,

get over here.

Right now!

Come here,

sit by Mama.

--Wade.

-Vern.

-Maggie.

- Okay, take

a deep breath for me.

--Let it out.

Lungs are clear.

Scans show that the asthma

has receded already,

and your heartbeat

is abnormally strong.

That's a good sign.

Now... let's have

a look at your arm.

Looks like the origin site

is spreading.

Maggie,

what happened here?

- She broke it.

- I cut it off.

Why would you

do such a thing?

What good's a finger

if your arm's falling off?

Maggie, your arm

is not going to fall off.

Now, there's a lot we don't

know about this thing,

but this decay, it'll stop.

Your arm is yours to keep.

You got me?

I'm gonna take

a sample, okay?

Allie's been

asking about you.

Said she tried

to call a few times.

I know she'd love

to hear from you, so...

give her a call, okay?

Doctor's orders.

All right, all done.

All we gotta do now

is put a dressing on it.

I'll have Judy come in

and take care of that.

There you are.

She's strong,

but from what I've seen,

it's progressing fast in her.

Pretty soon, she ain't

gonna want any food.

She's gonna

want something more.

Skin will start

smelling like meat.

When it finally happens,

you're gonna have a few choices.

One, take her

to quarantine.

I'm not gonna do that.

I wasn't suggesting it.

My report will say

she's progressing slow,

so it'll buy you some time.

Option two:

We give her the cocktail

they'd give her in quarantine.

At least this way she'd be

with you when she takes it,

and not a bunch of strangers

or other infected people.

But you know how she doesn't

feel anything right now?

She will feel this.

Reports say

that it's painful.

Extremely.

All the way up till the end.

What's option three?

Make it quick.

Caroline,

the food is delicious.

Oh...

Ah, the stove is shot. I...

Some of it's really...

You think this is funny? Hm?

--Well, no dessert

for either of you.

Is that a threat

or a stay of execution?

Why do you even still

have this piece of crap?

Well, because

I trust this piece of crap.

You know,

Caroline had four cars now,
