Plague

---

1

In the beginning they thought

it was just an infection.

But it didn't

take long for it to get

Completely out of control.

Our group of survivors had been

living together

In a house for some time.

When we were attacked, the

infected caught us

Completely by surprise.

Some of us managed to escape,

But my husband, john, was left

behind.

If he is still alive,

he'll find us.

We are the generation

that gets to witness the

End of mankind.

Perhaps in

some way that's almost as

Special as having been

there in the beginning.

If john survived, he

knows this is where we

Were gonna meet up.

What if he didn't make it?

I mean, he was there,

He was right in front

of me, and then the next

Second he was just gone.

Gotta be patient.

I had the strangest

dream last night.

I was in the classroom

teaching and

All the children were sitting

down around me.

Everything just felt so normal.

And everything

that's happening now is

Just behind us.

We will stick together on this.

We are not going anywhere

without him, do you understand?

- Yeah.

- Come on.

It's not safe to

be out here alone.

We're gonna have to

start thinkin' about

Leaving this place.

- Head south to the coast.

- No but it's safe here.

You said so yourself.

I didn't say it was safe here.

I said it was safer than being

out there on the road

Where anything can happen.

John's not even here

yet and you're thinking of

Making plans to leave?

Haven't you considered that

Maybe he isn't coming?

Things got crazy but anything

could've happened.

I mean, we're here right?

We were holed up in that

house playing happy family

For weeks!

Then out of nowhere, bam!

They find you.

Those f***ing people. Those

things out there,

- They always find you.

- Bob.

Fine.

If that was you out

there alone what would you

Want us to do?

I'd want you to do

what's smart, Evie.

Look, we've all lost

people we love.

But we're gonna need more food.

More supplies.

We have to leave as soon

as we can!

And then what?

We head south to the coast!

What do you think

is at the coast?

I don't know! Other

survivors!

The military!

A way out of this f***ing hell!

No, you know as well as

I do that there is nowhere

Left to go.

Please.

Evie, I'm

trying to be reasonable.

No you're trying

to appear reasonable.

We said we'd wait two

days if the group was split up.

Fine!

Whatever!

But by tomorrow, we make a

decision.

How's this thing looking?

Cracked radiator. It's

a miracle we've traveled

This far without it overheating.

Bob can be an a**hole sometimes.

But I-I hate to say he might be

right.

I saw him, Sammy. I saw

him shut the door.

There's every chance

he's still alive.

I'm not disputing that honey.

But, eventually we're going to

have to make a move whether we

Like it or not.

Here.

Give it a try.

They'll be moving much

slower in the light.

So you just take your time,

Wait before you take the shot.

And at night?

At night?

At night you run.

- What's wrong?

- I just can't stop

Thinking about that poor

man out there.

We can't save everyone,

you know that.

That's why we never go back.

I won't let anything happen to

you.

I want to go back

and look for john.

What?

If he's traveling on

foot he should be here by now.

Something must've

happened to him out on the road.

Are you taking the car?

They're not taking anything.

Look, bob, we can talk

about this like adults, OK?

If she wants to make a

suggestion

She has every right to.

I'm getting sick of this

bullshit.

One bite. One bite that's all it

takes!

We've all seen what it does and

how it changes you.

Enough!

Are you even listening

to yourselves?

We've been through this a

million times before.

Bad things happen.

These are bad times.

But we have rules we follow if

we want to stay alive.

We don't go back for anything.

Why?

Because it's suicide.

We shouldn't've

driven away like that.

You're saying it's

my fault because I was driving.

Come on guys it's

no one's fault.

We cannot keep talking

like this.

We just go round

and round in circles.

She wants to go back - Fine.

But she has no right

To put other people's

lives at risk.

I'm not asking

you to do anything.

You take the car, you

take the supplies,

You risk the survival

of the rest of us.

You wouldn't even be alive

today if it wasn't for john.

Please, keep your voices down.

And I'm as grateful for

that as I was three months

Ago when you found us.

But things are different.

We haven't seen a healthy

human being in weeks.

There is one car. One

group.

We need to stick together on

this!

You don't get it, do you?

There is no "ours" anymore.

Only what you

take and how you hold on to it.

Everybody inside, quick!

Evie.

Evie come back.

Marge, shut up!

What do you think you're doing?

We're leaving. I told

you it was too dangerous here.

Grab our things!

No we're not leaving.

I'm sorry about what

happened to john.

But it's not safe here anymore.

- Sammy, give me the keys.

- Don't give 'em to him.

You stay the f*** out of this.

The way I look it, the rules

have changed.

I'm taking this wagon south

whether you like it or not.

The rules might've

changed but it doesn't

Mean there aren't any. We

decide things together.

This isn't a game.

There is no victory at the end

of this.

There's only survival.

Come on! Come on!
