Joel Briggs masons brother in Florida where the virus originated where the government exposed people to the virus he was working security for a facility he was almost exposed to and almost bit a branch government the CRM control they were rounding up people who could possibly be infected in the area running test and experimentation on them as Joel peeks his head out in the hallway as he sees a bunch of infected overwhelm the soldiers as he grabs his gun and runs and escapes out the window as he was knocked over the head by one of the soldiers Joel was captured and put in a cell Joel: what the hell ? Soldier: you're finally awake thought you'd never wake up! Joel: who are you what the hell is this?! Soldier: this is a confined cell you are in until we find out if you're one of the ones infected or not. Joel: infected ? Are you fucking kidding me?! Soldier: unfortunately no. he had a shiv hidden in his hands he breaks the skin and pulls the shiv out of his hand screaming in pain he takes it and picks the lock on the cell door and kills a guard and takes his gun and uniform freshly turned walkers get loose they start to attack and kill soldiers Joel shoots one in the head killing it as he kills the rest with some armed guards and leaves them as they wake up turned. As mason and the group go in the building of the cdc the one and only doctor living goes "is anybody infected" mason: one in our group was he didn't make it. "Why you here and what do you want" mason: a chance "that's asking an awful lot these days. "Once this door closes it never opens again so anything you guys have extra clothes tennis shoes anything get it now and get in the building or you gonna be outside a lot longer than intended. So they run in the building onto a elevator going down mason: thank you I'm mason, mason Briggs. Dr: doctor Edward Cleveland. As they go down more into the underground station where extra rooms are baths and showers and couches Mary: are we underground. Dr: why you claustrophobic. Mary: a little. Dr: try not to think about it there's extra rooms here should be comfortable oh and go east on the hot water. Noah: hot water? Mike: think that's what the man said."as he smiles" as everyone tries to get comfortable the doctor runs test on them to make sure his theory was right Anna: if we were all infected we would be running a fever. Dr: I just want to be cautious that's all. He notices she looks weak dr: are you ok? Jackie: she hasn't eaten in days none of us have. He brings out food for everyone and they all just start to eat and making jokes deacon: go easy on that stuff Noah. Noah: what? As he smirks deacon: you heard me little man I wanna see how red your face can get. Matthew: so you gon tell us what the hell happened here doc. Mason: we're celebrating Matt let's try not to ruin the mood. Matthew: that's what we came here for right answered I mean this was your move man instead we mhm found him mhm only one man why? Dr: all the other doctors after everything fell they took off to be with there families. Mason: what about the others dr: well the others couldn't face going out the front door they opted out. Noah: dude you are such a buzzkill. as everyone gets ready togo to bed and pack up for the night Mary: there's plenty of books that'll keep us busy for years and tonight may be the only time we'll actually get some real sleep come Chloe and Billy let's go to sleep. As they go to the rooms Laura stays back and looks at some good books to read as Matthew watches and stares at her from a distance while he is drunk and emotional he slams a door to get her attention Laura Jumps "gosh you scared me" Matthew: I'm gon tell you a few things and you're gon listen to me. Laura: now is not the time. Matthew:cmon when is it ever the time huh? How can you treat me like this. Laura: you're kidding? Matthew: No mhmm mhmm! Laura: cause you told me my husband was dead you left him we left him. Matthew: you know what it was like there huh I had to leave we had to leave! As he slams the door shut and gets in front of it Matthew: they were slaughtering people in the hallways it was a massacre and walkers everywhere. Laura: so you just left him my husband in the mix of all that chaos all because of your little romanticizing obsession with me you leave him your supposed best friend who you said and I quote "I would die for" hmm that the mason were talking about right let's get it all out of the air right now! Matthew: you're right I did but not for the reason you think we were surrounded by smoke dust and rubble walkers with people shooting at us and Shawn he grabbed mason by the arm when he fell and I left them both so your right maybe it was for my obsession but I don't see it that way and I had y'all thought about didn't I I had you Caleb and Jon just stop it have you thought it for one second if he was still alive would you have come I saved your life if I could have traded places with him I would have because see I love you okay? Laura: no you don't no you don't. Matthew: yes I do ok let me prove it to you? Laura: no get your hands off me get off me please? As she pushed him off her with claw marks in his necks as he look's surprised and shocked he hits the wall in anger and leaves Laura with her crying on the floor in tears thinking if that would have went on any longer something worse could've happened so she goes to bed and checks on her boys and mason comes in and lays down with her and says " we're all gonna be ok it's gonna be fine I promise. The next day comes Mike is cooking eggs Mike: cooking eggs yall powder but I do em good it's to help the hangover. Noah groans Noah: don't ever ever ever let me drink again. Jon: dad mom said you were hungover. Mason: well mom is right. Laura: one of the things I was right about. Mason:can you open this for me please help me. Laura: yea sure Edward thought we could use it. Dr Edward: good morning. Mike: morning Matthew: hey y'all. Mike: did you sleep better. Matthew: worse Mike: hell happen to you your neck. Matthew: must've done it in my sleep. Mason: never seen you do that before. Matthew: me neither not like me at all. As he looks over at Laura mason notices it Anna: we didn't come here for the eggs. Dr Edward shows them to the break room "everything we monitor goes through here every strand of diseases every death every sickness comes through this very computer every concept everything through here" mason: well can you at-least show us what happened what caused it. He shows a thermal scanning of a brain dr Edward: these electrolytes a bunch of lights in the brain memories decision making process all of that is you it's what makes you unique and how you do the things that you do. He also shows a thermal scanning of someone who has been bitten and infected you see? The brain is shutting itself down from the fever everything that was you everything that you were gone dead subject 19 went in and voluntarily wanted us to test her operate on her. Anna: subject 19 was your wife? Dr Edward: how did you? Anna: I was a lawyer I know a broken man when I see one you have no idea what it is do you. Dr Edward: it could be airborn could hepatitis could be something from the brain finally snapping or Mother Nature fighting back or gods wraith or the universe correcting itself in a very funny way. Harold: look doctor I hate to bargain with just one more question but that clock it's counting down what happens at zero? Dr Edward: the basement generators they run out of fuel. Mason: and then? He ask the A.I system what happens when the power runs out. When the power runs the oxygen levels in the building build up to 8000 degrees Celsius above heating temperature. As mason and Shawn go downstairs to check but there is no power we cut to dr Edward looking at a picture of his wife dr Edward: I did the best I could with the time that I had hope it was enough. As we cut to him walking out in the hallways Dr Edward: from what I've heard the French were the last ones to hold out as far as I know the last that I heard while our people were out in the hallways committing suicide they stayed in their labs till the end they thought they were close to a solution. Shawn: what happened? Dr Edward: same thing that happened here no power grid ran out of juice I mean the world runs on fossil fuel I mean how stupid is that. Matthew: hey Man let me tell you something. Mason: hell with it Matthew I don't even care Laura grab our things everybody get your stuff we're getting out of here now! Am alarm goes off 30 minutes till decontamination deacon: doc what's going here? Shawn: everybody y'all heard mason get your stuff and let's go go on now! Go! As the door closes Noah: did he just lock us in he just locked us in!!! Dr Edward: we've hit the 30 minute window I am recording. Deacon: you son of a bitch. Mason: Shawn! Deacon: you locked us in here! Shawn: hey! No No No No! As they hold back deacon mason: Edward open that door now. Dr Edward: there's no point everything topside is locked down the emergency exits are sealed. Greg: we'll open the damn thing. Dr Edward: that's not something I control the computers do I told you once that front door closed it wouldn't open again you heard me say that it's better this way. Mason: what is what happens in 28 minutes. As Shawn hits the back of Edward chair mason: WHAT HAPPENS IN 28 MINUTES!!!! dr Edward: YOU KNOW WHAT THIS PLACE IS WE PROTECTED THE PUBLIC FROM VERY NASTY STUFF! WEAPONIZED SMALLPOX! EBOLA STRAINS THAT COULD WIPE OUT HALF THE COUNTRY STUFF YOU DON'T WANT GETTING OUT EVER!!!! Dr Edward: in the event of a catastrophic power failure in a terrorist attack for example H.I.T.s are deployed to prevent any organisms from getting out. Mason: H.I.T.s? Dr Edward: VI define. Vi: H.I.T.s high impulse thermobaric fuel air explosives consist of a two stage aerosol ignition that produces a blast of significantly greater power and duration than any other known explosive except nuclear the vacuum pressure effect ignites the oxygen at between 5,000• and 6,000• degrees and is useful when the greatest loss of life and damaged to structures is desired. Dr Edward:sets the air on fire.No Pain. An End To Sorrow Grief, Regret everything. Deacon: open that damn door!!! Matthew: out of my way! As Matthew and deacon try to break the door with an axe and pick axe dr Edward: you should've left well enough alone it would've been so much easier. Laura: easier for who? Dr Edward: all of you you know what's out why go back out there again A short brutal life and an agonizing death. Your sister what was her name? Anna: Jessica dr Edward: Jessica you know what this does you've seen it is that really what you want for wife and son? Mason: I DON'T WANT THIS. Matthew: can't make a dent. Dr Edward: those doors were designed to withstand a rocket launcher. Deacon: but your head ain't! Woah woah woah! Mason: just back up dr Edward: you do want this last night you said you knew it was just a matter of time before everyone you loved was dead. Mike: what? Matthew: what you really said that? After all your big talk? Mason: I had to keep hope alive, didn't I. Dr edward: there is no hope there never was. Mason: there's always hope maybe it won't be you, maybe not here, but somebody somewhere. Dr edward: this is what takes us down this is our extinction event. Mary: this isn't right you can't just keep us here. Dr edward: one tiny moment of a millisecond. No pain. Mary: my kids doesn't deserve to die like this. As Matthew walks off with an angry look on his face dr edward: wouldn't it be kinder, more compassionate to just hold your loved ones and wait for the clock to run down? Mason: Matt no! Matthew: out of the way mason! Stay out of the way open that door or I'm gonna blow your head off do you hear me?! Mason: brother this is not the way you do this we will never get out of here. Laura: Matt you listen to him. Matthew: it's too late. Mason: he dies we all die. Matthew: Aaagggghhhhaggghhh Mason: Matt!! As he starts to shoot panels mason: Matt stop it. As mason tries to take the gun from Matt's hands he gets and knocks him to the ground mason: you done now you done! Matthew: yeah I guess we all are. He gives the gun to Mike mason: I think you're lying. Dr Edward: what? Mason: lying about no hope. If that were true, you'd have bolted with the rest or taken the east way out you didn't. You chose the hard path. Why? Dr Edward: it doesn't matter. Mason: it doesn't matter it always matters you stayed when others ran why? Dr Edward: not because I wanted to I made a promise to her. My wife! They all look at him in sorrow dr Edward: she begged me to keep going as long as I could how could I say no? She was dying it should've been me on that table I wouldn't have mattered to anybody she was a loss to the world hell she ran this place I just worked here in our field she was an Einstein me? I'm just Edward Cleveland she could've done something about this not me? Mason: your wife didn't have a choice you do that's all we want a choice, a chance. Laura: let us keep trying as long as we can. Dr Edward: I told you topside's locked down I can't open those. He enters a code to open the door deacon: come on! Noah: let's go! Chris: come on,let's go! As they start running out the door dr Edward: there's your chance take it. Mason: I'm grateful Dr Edward: the day will come when you won't be. As Edward whispers in his ear something terrible as mason looks at him surprised and shocked Noah: hey! We go four minutes left come on! Mike: let's go Jackie come on let's go! Jackie: no I'm staying I'm staying sweetie. Mike: but that's insane! Jackie: no it's completely sane for the first time in a long time I'm not ending up like Tim and Jessica there's no time to argue and no point not if you wanna get out just get out get out. Shawn: hey dog come on man come on! Let's go let's go! As they leave and go for the front entrance for an easier escape Shawn: get those doors open! Mike: hold on hold on! As he tries guessing the password for the door. Mike: now try it try it. As they are hitting the windows but nothing works Mary: kids stay close to me okay. Mike: D look out! As he tries breaking it down with a chair Shawn: dog get down get down! As he tries to shoot it with his shotgun Shawn:jesus! Chloe: the glass won't break? Mary: mason I have something that might help. Shawn: Mary I don't think a nail file's gonna do it. Mary: your first morning at camp when I washed your uniform I found this in your pocket. As she pulls out a grenade mason takes goes up to the window pulls the pin and runs for cover Mike: look out! Mason: ohhhh shitttt!! The grenade blows out the window as they run out and start to take out walkers to make it to there cars as mason gets to the RV and tries to start it up mason: oh god!
