Lewis got him.

F***ing snapped.

I couldn't get any sense into him.

I got his bat and knocked him out.

I taped him up

so he couldn't hurt anybody else.

I had no choice.

Then I saw the hallway.

I've never seen

anything like that.

One out of two people just

started killing each other.

They just decided to kill people.

I mean, what... I've never killed

anybody before. What do I do?

I'm not gonna f*** around.

But, you know, what do I do?

So anybody who comes at me,

I take 'em out.

No questions asked.

Got to. Anybody.

Anybody else,

I secure and I put in a safe place.

No telling

who's gonna go crazy next.

You got to put 'em up.

I pulled the fire alarm.

I don't know why.

Maybe somebody'll come.

Maybe they won't.

Maybe they're screwed up too.

So I fight my way to the roof.

Got to see the big picture.

One's got to know,

I have to know, right?

Then I see it, in the streets.

All of Terminus,

it's happening everywhere.

People are going crazy

in their head all over.

But first it's just murder,

the crazy

kill anybody, everybody, each other.

Indiscriminate,

it looks like chaos.

But then I realized,

they're thinking.

Then I really get scared

because it's rational.

They know what they're doing.

I mean, they think it makes sense.

But it doesn't make any sense.

It's different for everybody.

Let me tell you,

they are gonna

f***ing murder the world.

And I'm thinking

they all got to die.

You know,

but I can't kill 'em all.

I'm thinking that...

That there's too many.

Maybe I'll run.

But run where?

I'm thinking...

then I get hit in the head.

Is it so bad?

You'll be fine.

F***er has a hammer.

I have a hammer go

into my head.

So I smash his face.

And I realize he's not crazy.

He thinks I'm crazy.

I'm not crazy.

He's hurt really bad,

so I finish him.

I taped up 12 people

last night.

All of them had been killed

by morning.

All but Lewis.

What do I do?

Yeah, we go. We go.

We walk out that door

and we start walking,

and we don't stop.

We don't stop.

We don't talk to anybody.

We don't draw attention

to ourselves.

We just keep walking.

And we go to my car...

We go to my car, and we get in

and we drive.

Okay?

We do this right now.

We drive?

Yeah.

Where we gonna go?

Is it safe?

Come on, Rod, keep walking.

Walk, Rod!

Hey! Roger?

Is that you?

Keep walking, Rod.

Wait. Wait, wait, wait.

Rod!

Maybe... Maybe she's

just confused.

Rod!

Um, do you, uh...?

- Rod!

- Do you have the crazy?

F***.

You f***ing b*tch.

You f***ing b*tch,

you f***ing b*tch!

F***.

Wait. Wait.

Wait. Wait.

Wait! Wait!

What are you...? Wait!

I got a gun.

I got shot.

I got shot, and you were gonna

leave me back there.
