Eradication

Hey, hey, hey. It's me, it's me.

Hi.

We gotta go.

Okay.

Come on, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

We gotta go, come on. Come on.

Come on, come on, get up, get up.

Just get up, just get

as the as yet unknown virus sweeps the nation.

The Eradication Control Task Force...

Cities have been left to formulate

their own strategies to deal

with uncontrolled rates of infection.

Meanwhile...

Miles as people flee Chicago

for the countryside....

That's what I've been telling you.

There's no feasible containment strategy.

Absolutely none.

Record numbers,

and riots are reported across the nation.

Comes days after the release

of viral footage showing what appears

to be a group of infected civilians

attacking a military patrol.

There's something really wrong with people.

We need to get out of here.

Military drones have been deployed

across the country in accordance

with the new Eradication Act.

They're not letting anyone leave.

If anyone leaves their home, the drones are killing them.

It doesn't matter.

We have to go now.

Please, you have to let us out of here.

Servers are down.

Communications are going down across the board.

They don't come out in daylight,

but it's getting dark.

There's no easy way to say this.

If anyone can hear this, please help us.

This is an S.O.S.

But this will be our final broadcast.

Hey, can you see me?

Yes, I can see you. Can you see me?

Yeah, I can see you. Yeah, it's working.

Yay.

- Hi. - How are you?

Did you get back okay?

- Mm. - hm.

Yeah. Yes, settled back.

How about you? How is it?

It's great.

I mean, it's beautiful. It's very different.

Just being here by myself, but yeah,

really looking forward to having you up here.

Well, actually, it's going to take

a little longer than we thought.

Do you know how much longer?

Well, we're going to have to do

a lot more testing to figure out a treatment, so...

As long as it takes.

Did you find the phlebotomy equipment, by the way?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I got it.

Not great with needles

but I've got these track marks to make a junkie proud.

Glad that no one can see me out here.

You'll be fine.

How you doing? You okay?

Yeah, yeah, I'm fine.

Just...

Yeah, I'm fine.

I actually have to go.

- Okay. - Yeah, my boss needs me.

All right.

See you soon.

Yeah.

I love you.

I love you, too.

Dear David...

By now, you should be settled in.

I hope you're comfortable

because we need you to stay isolated.

You'll need to keep a strict daily schedule.

Keep yourself healthy.

Check yourself every day for symptoms.

The virus you're infected with has killed every other person

who's come into contact with it.

Everyone except you.

I'll be at the Eradication Control Center in D.C.

My job is to study your blood.

It could be the key to saving us all.

It's a mess out there, David, and it's getting worse.

Stay isolated.

It's hard to be so far away from you,

but right now we don't have a choice.

I'll call every day.

One last thing, David....

Never, ever go out after dark.

I miss you.

It's so funny, I had this dream that, um...

Oh, I dunno.

It's hard to, to...

Hello, you've reached the Beaumont family.

This is Tim

And Julie.

And Stephanie.

Leave us a message and we'll call you right back.

Hello?

Who is this?

Hello?

Hello?

Fuck.

Shit.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

No.

Sam?

I'm a vegetarian!

Wha...

Okay.

Fine.

Lovely.

"Virus is a bloodborne pathogen."

Uh huh.

"Drones are for your protection."

What are you doing?

- Sam. - This isn't a game, David.

Do you understand that?

Yeah.

There cannot be any interruption.

It's, it's really dangerous.

Do you understand, your blood is our only hope for a cure.

Sam, are you in trouble?

You have to make the drop.

Okay.

- Yeah. - Fill another bag.

I already did one today.

I need you to do one right now, David.

David, if they don't get it within 48 hours

Yeah, okay, okay.

I'll do it, just stay on the line.

Stay on...

Yeah.

Sam, I trust you.

You can talk to me. What's going on?

The rules are there to protect you.

Stick to the routine. Don't take any risks.

Stay isolated.

Hello?

Who is this?

Who are you?

Beaumont?

Is this Beaumont in Meadow Lakes?

No.

- How did you get this number? - Are you in Meadow Lakes?

Yeah, what's left of it.

- I thought I was only one here. - Where'd you come from?

Atlanta.

Nothing there, either.

Look, it's getting dark.

It's not safe for us to talk.

- They could hear me... - Just you?

Yeah. Just me now.

What's your name?

David.

David.

I'm Todd.

How'd you end up here?

I was in Atlanta

when they lost control of the infection.

Government drones appeared out of the sky

and people were cheering, calling for help,

thought that they were there to save us.

Then the gas, hissin', like timber rattlers.

I had a rebreather on, working insulation.

Most weren't that lucky.

You know, even before then you could see

things were getting worse.

People were losing everything,

but I, I always had the same thought:

to hell with them, it's not gonna happen to me.

Then along comes this higher power.

Do you realize you're nothin'?

I'm ramblin'. I'm ramblin' at it.

It's been a while since I had anything to eat.

Look, David...

I know you don't know me.

You've got no reason to trust me, but I could work.

- Earn my keep... - You can't come here.

I didn't mean that.

No, you can't be close to me.

I'm infected.

It doesn't affect me, but um, it would kill you,

so you can't come here.

I'm sorry.

You tested to be sure?

What?

How long you been isolated up there?

24 months.
