Maggie

Dad.

I've gone to the city.

Please don't come for me.

There's a curfew here. Just... just keep them safe.

I'm sorry.

I love you.

You are listening to NPR. I'm host, David Newborn,

and this is Global Position. Now for today's top headlines.

Months after the initial worldwide outbreak,

national and local governments are beginning to suppress

the necroambulis virus epidemic.

The Department of Agriculture has found no solution for infected, dying crops.

Agriculture Officials are encouraging farmers to burn their crops

in a desperate attempt to destroy what may be preventing growth.

Please return to your homes.

Curfew is at 8:00.

While citizens of inner cities and metropolitan areas remain hardest hit,

through quick response and quarantine,

weekly infections reports have dropped 30%.

Cleanup and martial law are still in effect.

Medical officials, along with the CDC,

have been tight-lipped about a cure or vaccine.

As for the infected, scientists are now suggesting

that an elevated sense of smell is the telltale sign

of what's being referred to as "the turn."

Check this one for infection.

- Look at that skin. - Yeah, we caught another, 10-4.

- Curfew-breaker. See if infected, over. - Get her here.

Doctors with stage three patients are reminded

quarantine pickup is at 1700 hours.

Sir? You shouldn't be in here.

This is the shelter for the infected. It's dangerous.

But my daughter is here.

- What's her name? - Maggie.

Marguerite. Marguerite Vogel.

Marguerite Vogel...

Mr. Vogel?

Your daughter's bite wound was very severe.

Now, we may know a lot about this,

except that we can't stop this yet.

She's probably going to show more signs of aggression.

She's gonna lose her appetite, and then she's gonna get it back again.

Look at me.

When that happens, take her to quarantine.

I wouldn't normally release someone with her type infection.

I'm doing this as a favor for Vern.

Quarantine is eight weeks in.

Say your goodbyes and get her straight to Blaire.

I'll send all the necessary paperwork to Vern.

He'll follow up and answer any questions you have.

Good luck, Mr. Vogel.

Dad? Dad!

- I'm sorry. - I've been searching everywhere for you.

I'm sorry.

What did he say?

The doctor?

Vern helped us get you out.

Stop picking at it!

- Where are you going? - Inside.

- Mag. - I'll be fine.

Hello?

Hello?

Maggie? Maggie? Get in the truck!

- What's wrong? - Just do it right now. Come on. Go.

Mom! Daddy's home!

Slow down, honey! Oh!

- Did you pack your bag? - Mm-hm.

- Is Pretty Pony going? - Mm...

You're not taking Pretty Pony?

- Got everything you need? - Yeah.

- Molly! - Daddy!

We missed you.

- It's so good to see you. - Hey. Hey, Moll.

What happened to your arm?

I just got hurt.

I scratched mine,

but Mommy fixed it.

- Who fixed yours? - Uh, the doctors.

Is that where you were?

Yeah. It took a while for them to fix it.

I missed you.

Dad said you were sick...

but you're dying, huh?

Bobby...

A few kids at my school got infected.

I knew one of them. Steven.

I didn't like him much, but... I don't think he deserved to die.

Does it hurt?

No. Not anymore.

Why do we have to stay with Aunt Linda?

Because I'm contagious.

Mom's afraid we'll get it.

Just because she loves you.

Hey. Go on, and be nice to Molly.

Bobby?

- I missed you, kiddo. - Missed you, too.

Ready?

They tell us that patients have days left

before what they're considering the final stage.

And stay tuned at the top of the hour. We'll be in conversation...

Why don't you get settled and help me with the dishes?

Caroline is fixing us something to eat.

I'm not hungry.

Allie called a few times.

Two weeks?

You spent two weeks out there looking for me?

Yeah.

I made a promise to your mother,

that I would protect you.

Yeah, but... what about you guys?

- What if I hurt you? - Don't worry.

Caroline and I, we know the precautions.

You shouldn't have brought me back.

You have to eat something.

For me.

I'll try.

Maggie? Where are your bandages?

I'm so glad I came down.

I know, I know. I...

I just can't look at it.

I can't see it, knowing what's going to happen to her.

I just can't do it, Wade. I'm...

I'm sorry.

I just don't understand. I...

I keep asking Him and asking Him,

but... He's not giving me any answers.

Wade?

- You've reached Fred and... - Ken.

And we're currently out on the farm.

Leave us a message and we'll get back to you.

Oh, that was awful.

That was pretty funny, though.

What do you think about the schools opening up?

No, you need to stop pretending

bad things ain't happening out there.

Bad things?

Well now, as the government sanction...

...people are ID 'ed in the system and sent home with families.

They even have forced appointments with their local doctors,

who report back to the hospitals in the cities.

And if they violate their allotted time,

the authorities come to get them.

Yeah. And how long does it take to turn?

How long is that allotted time?

They say six to eight weeks for any one person to turn.

But, well, we know it's different depending on who you are.

And what if someone turned early?

I mean, how many people they gonna hurt...

Maggie!

No. No.

You don't do that and then leave.

You don't send half of them home to their families

and hope they come back to be killed.

You just kill them. That's all.

Mag! Are you okay?

Your finger!

Come on, I've got you.

Here, sweetie. Sit down.

- Caroline? - Let's see what I have.

I'll call our doctor.

Yes, it's Mrs. Vogel. Caroline Vogel.

Yes, I'm... I'm calling about my stepdaughter.

It's urgent.

It's an emergency.

Get behind me.

Nathan.

No, don't! Please, Dad. No. Please!

Go home. Just go home.

Please, say something.

Nathan, please.

I asked him to say something.

Maggie used to babysit for her.

It had to be done. Ain't nobody fighting that.

Bonnie was wrong for what she done.

Was she?

She kept them in the house and didn't notify anybody.

She should have brought them into quarantine.

We had damn near the whole station out there.

Now we can't even find Bonnie.

Look, Wade. When the time comes...

- Now, Ray... - I know.

I know what you're thinking, but... it's for the best.

You think about what those two could have done today

if you hadn't have been out there.

Quarantine rules apply to everybody, Wade.

- I mean, wake up! Look at the... - Holt!

Go call the trucks down from Owensboro.

Tell them we've got two bodies to clean up.

Holt.

Unbelievable.

Now, Ray, you and I, we go back a long ways.

You've always done us right,

especially after Sarah's passing.

But I swear to God,

if you, him, or anyone else come out here for her...

She's my daughter, Ray.

Trucks will be down here in the morning, pick up the remains.

Wade...

Think about what you had to do today,

what you might have to do in the future.
