Maggie (2015) Movie Script
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
hree 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?
Oh, uh...
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,
- 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.
How is she?
She asleep?
Her finger is gone.
She made sure of that.
I got it all bandaged up,
but she's still refusing
to go to the doctor.
I figured that.
What did Ray say?
He said that Bonnie
kept them locked up
for a while.
Too long.
I killed them both.
No. You, uh...
They'd already moved on.
-There was something
in their eyes.
-Wade.
You can't do this
to yourself.
Bonnie should
have taken them in.
And what about Mag?
What happens
when she gets close?
Don't think
about that right now.
Just... just...
Let's enjoy the time
we have with her.
-What is it?
-Shh.
Wade?
Stay here.
Bonnie?
It's late.
How's Mag?
About as good
as she can be.
Doctors gave us
all these special rules
and papers for children
with her condition.
"Lock subject
in room at night.
"Avoid touching subject
without gloves."
Never once said her name.
Julia.
She's just four.
She was scared.
She slept with us most nights
as it was, so we'd...
We'd take turns
with her through nights.
She got worse.
One night Nathan went in,
didn't wake me for my turn.
Next morning, door was locked.
Locked himself in with her.
I pounded and pounded
on that damn door,
cried till I couldn't no more.
Still, never answered.
But he knew.
He knew what he was doing.
Take me to where they're at.
Dad! There's
someone on the phone.
- Hello?
- Mr. Vogel?
-Yes?
- Yes. Hello, sir.
This is Mr. Garmen
from the quarantine unit
of St. Mary's Hospital.
We're calling to inform you
that we've scheduled
a follow up appointment
with Dr. Vern Kaplan to track
your daughter's progress
in advance of quarantine.
Tomorrow we're
gonna go and see Vern
about your finger.
No arguments.
You hear me?
James, Carrie,
get over here.
Right now!
Come here,
sit by Mama.
--Wade.
-Vern.
-Maggie.
- Okay, take
a deep breath for me.
--Let it out.
Lungs are clear.
Scans show that the asthma
has receded already,
and your heartbeat
is abnormally strong.
That's a good sign.
Now... let's have
a look at your arm.
Looks like the origin site
is spreading.
Maggie,
what happened here?
- She broke it.
- I cut it off.
Why would you
do such a thing?
What good's a finger
if your arm's falling off?
Maggie, your arm
is not going to fall off.
Now, there's a lot we don't
know about this thing,
but this decay, it'll stop.
Your arm is yours to keep.
You got me?
I'm gonna take
a sample, okay?
Allie's been
asking about you.
Said she tried
to call a few times.
I know she'd love
to hear from you, so...
give her a call, okay?
Doctor's orders.
All right, all done.
All we gotta do now
is put a dressing on it.
I'll have Judy come in
and take care of that.
There you are.
She's strong,
but from what I've seen,
it's progressing fast in her.
Pretty soon, she ain't
gonna want any food.
She's gonna
want something more.
Skin will start
smelling like meat.
When it finally happens,
you're gonna have a few choices.
One, take her
to quarantine.
I'm not gonna do that.
I wasn't suggesting it.
My report will say
she's progressing slow,
so it'll buy you some time.
Option two:
We give her the cocktail
they'd give her in quarantine.
At least this way she'd be
with you when she takes it,
and not a bunch of strangers
or other infected people.
But you know how she doesn't
feel anything right now?
She will feel this.
Reports say
that it's painful.
Extremely.
All the way up till the end.
What's option three?
Make it quick.
Caroline,
the food is delicious.
Oh...
Ah, the stove is shot. I...
Some of it's really...
You think this is funny? Hm?
--Well, no dessert
for either of you.
Is that a threat
or a stay of execution?
Why do you even still
have this piece of crap?
Well, because
I trust this piece of crap.
You know,
Caroline had four cars now,
-and they all broke down.
-Yeah, I know.
I had to pick her up
the last time.
- What did you pick her up in?
You see?
What are you reading there?
Uh, it's called
"Morning Light of the Past."
It was in one of Mom's boxes.
It's like
really, really weird.
Your mother was a bookworm.
Until today, I still don't
know what she saw in me...
because she had everything.
She was smart, beautiful,
-and she had those long legs.
-Okay. Okay, Dad. Thank you.
-That's enough.
-What? I mean,
I'm just saying.
I mean, the whole time we dated,
she always pushed books on me.
She always
wanted me to read more.
And I just didn't have
the time with the farm and all.
-You read to me all the time.
-Only because she made me.
I remember just
before you were born...
and I bought
a whole bunch of books.
And your mother had
a hell of a green thumb.
And there was this one book
that I read to you
over and over.
It was called, uh,
"A Daisy's Journey."
That's actually
how you got your name.
-There's a Marguerite in it?
-And your mother
loved those flowers.
She just loved them.
And she was so strong.
I mean, every time
she needed to fight back,
she did.
You have a lot
of your mother in you.
You know that?
You know, maybe
it was the, um, truck.
What?
Why Mom loved you.
- Well, that's for sure.
- My truck.
No!
No!
--No! No!
Maggie? Allie's here.
Hey. Oh my God.
There she is!
- Shut up.
-Oh...
-Hi!
Where have you been?
Oh. Well, I haven't
been feeling too well.
- Yeah?
-Yeah.
Well, how are you
feeling right now?
-Uh, right now?
-Yeah.
Um... why?
Okay. All right.
Trent and Candace
and a few other people
are going out
to the reservoir tonight.
I know it's not like
a super fun trip to KC
or whatever,
but school starts soon
and I doubt our parents
are gonna let us out
much further than that.
-Trent's going?
-Yeah. Did you hear?
Yeah. How's he doing?
I don't know. I mean,
he seems all right,
but don't take
my word for it.
You should come see
for yourself.
Right.
Come on.
Everybody misses you.
They wanna see you.
I miss you,
and I'm not going
without you. Okay?
Hey, uh, hold on real quick.
-What?
-Here.
I found it on the couch
the other day and threw it
on this old thing.
I figured you
might wanna wear it.
-Thank you.
-Oh, it's nothing.
Go, get out of here
before Allie explodes.
Yeah, I know, right?
We are late.
And you have a nice
young man waiting for you.
Is it gonna be like
this all night?
-Um, yes.
-Oh god!
-Yes, it actually is.
-Take me now.
Oh, here we go!
- Hey! How are you?
- Hey.
-Hey!
-Hi. Long time no see!
I don't get why they're
opening up the school so soon.
-Gotta get back to normal.
-Normal?
What's normal about
all of this?
Now, we have
teachers missing.
Still have a bunch
of infected people.
No offense.
Not you guys.
But like the Andersons.
You know?
-How many more are like that?
-What happened?
She had them
locked up in a room.
Didn't tell anybody.
And they got out,
and Mag's dad found her.
Holy shit, Mag.
What'd your dad do?
Look, does it matter?
They're dead.
Point is,
she screwed up.
I mean, how many other
people have people
locked away? You know?
What should Bonnie have done?
What would you do?
What should my dad
do to me? Quarantine?
Do you know
what it's like there?
My uncle works
at the hospital in KC.
He said that they tell
people everything's nice.
That they'll--
they'll hold your hand
until the end,
but they don't.
They throw you in a big room
with everyone else.
They don't
separate the phases.
Everyone's all
bunched up together,
people eating people,
and they don't care.
So what would you do?
You know what
I would do to me?
I'd put a gun right here.
Bang.
Mason's a dick.
He's just afraid.
Yeah, but he's still a dick.
You know he stayed over
the night before I got bit?
Played video games
and got into all of Dad's beer.
And when he found out,
he put me to work in the
field the next morning.
She looked really bad, Mag.
I don't know why I went
over to her, but I did.
Felt bad, I guess.
I told her to stay there,
but when I turned around
to call for Dad...
she bit me.
I could see it in her eyes.
She regretted it.
Probably didn't
even know she did it.
Then Dad showed up.
He shot her in the chest
and in the head.
I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
No. No. I mean...
about us.
I figured I'd done
something wrong.
No. I was just...
scared, I guess.
Yeah. Me, too.
I missed you.
I missed you, too.
I missed that.
So did I.
Well...
Thanks.
Yeah. I'm gonna see you
again this weekend, right?
Yeah. I promise.
Okay. Well, I'm going
to hold you to it.
Yeah, when don't you?
Hey, wait. Wait.
I love you, okay?
I love you, too.
-I'm gonna let you go.
-Okay.
Dad?
Hey.
There's no need to shout.
He's downstairs.
-Let me see.
-Not too close.
I'll be fine.
Do you smell that?
No.
Are you sure?
It smells like food.
It's probably your father
cooking up something
you shouldn't have.
I'll get the drops.
Wade?
Caroline?
You find the drops?
No! No. Hold on a sec.
Oh, hey, did you find them?
Thanks.
So, what was Dad cooking?
-Caroline?
-Oh, uh...
Nothing. Hm... Nothing.
Maggie? Phone!
Hello?
Trent?
What?
Trent.
Please.
Just open the door.
Please.
What are you doing in here?
Just let me talk to him.
Trent?
Maggie.
I can't open the door.
I smelled him, Mag.
I can't go to quarantine.
We're ready for the extraction
and will confirm with you
-that we are en route.
-Easy, gentlemen. Easy.
Go ahead with the extraction.
Your uncle said he
would take care of you!
-He said it wouldn't
be like the others.
-I won't go!
Look, I know
that you're scared.
I am, too.
But you are so strong.
I've always seen that in you.
Just... just let me in!
This is the police.
We are entering the home!
Let's go.
Get away from the door,
Maggie.
Maggie? Please?
You need to open the door!
Come on, son.
It's time.
Trent?
Just open the door.
Step back, son.
Dad? Please? Dad, please!
-Dad! Dad! Dad!
-Listen.
-It's gonna be okay! Trent!
-Maggie!
- It's gonna be okay!
Go home, Maggie.
Just go home.
Dais? Maggie!
Wade? Oh!
- Maggie!
Wade!
Wade!
We have to take her in!
-No! No! No!
-We have to take her in now!
No!
Look at me. Look at me.
Good, Daisy baby.
That's good.
Now tell me.
What happened?
-Hey, come on.
-Don't!
I'm not moving!
I'm not moving.
He was afraid of me.
I didn't know it.
I didn't know it.
I swear, I didn't know it.
I didn't know it.
What was?
What was afraid of you?
The fox. The fox.
I heard--
I heard it and then I--
and then
I caught it in the trap,
and it smelled...
I couldn't stop.
I couldn't stop.
I couldn't stop.
Daddy, I just
wanted to help it!
Daddy, I just wanted
to help it! I'm sorry!
Don't.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Wade, please,
just call them.
It's time now.
She has to go in.
What if it was Molly?
Or Bobby?
After everything
that we've been through,
you still think
it's about that?
I've loved her
like she was my own,
but she's
not her anymore.
-Wade, please.
-Don't.
I'm chewing so loud.
She was afraid of me,
wasn't she?
When did she leave?
Yesterday.
I don't feel well.
You got enough
firewood there?
Well, if you'd get
the power turned back on again,
I wouldn't have
to do this everyday.
Well, you know
that's not my department.
So, why are you here?
Need to talk
to you about Mag.
The time's come, Wade.
Can we see her?
- This is bullshit.
- Holt.
No. She's well beyond the time.
She needs to be in quarantine.
We've got
an entire town to protect!
I'm going
to the house, Wade.
You know she needs
to be in quarantine.
Wade...
Get out of my way.
Now, come on, boys.
We don't need this.
Wade, just...
let us take a look at her.
All right?
You're not gonna
take her in.
--Wade!
--Wade!
- Stop it!
Leave us alone.
Maggie, you tell me
you're doing okay,
and we'll leave. All right?
- Ray, look at her.
I'm all right.
Good.
That's all
I needed to know.
Get your ass in the car.
Get in the goddamn car.
- Now, Ray...
- Shut up and listen.
I'll be back.
Between now and then,
you need to figure out
what you're gonna do.
I'm sorry about
what happened. I am...
but you and her ain't
the only ones in this town.
- Are you okay?
- Are you?
- Yeah.
- What happened?
- Sit down.
They wanna
take me away, don't they?
Don't worry.
You're not going anywhere.
There's something
I want to show you.
It's Mama's garden.
But how?
It was your idea.
Before you ran off,
you said that I should plant
some daisies in Mom's garden.
That they would grow.
After you left,
I planted some.
And when we came back,
this was here.
It's the most
beautiful thing ever.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
You have to promise me
that you'll do it.
Please.
Promise me that
you'll make it stop.
I just can't...
I can't do it anymore.
You know?
Please, Dad. Please?
You have to do it.
Please.
- Please.
-Okay, baby.
This is what they
give the quarantined.
You want
my personal opinion?
Use that instead.
Hey, munchkins.
I just wanted to call
to say that I love you guys.
Bobby, Holly.
I just wanted to say...
Is that you, Holly?
Tell him thank you
for bringing me home.
I just...
It was horrible.
I'm so lucky
to have you.
- Dais?
- -No.
No.
Maggie, what happened?
--Maggie!
Maggie! Snap out of it!
Maggie! Snap out of it!
--Come on!
Come on, don't do this!
Not yet. Maggie?
Snap out of it. Come on.
Daddy?
Daddy?
- That's my girl.
-That's my baby.
-Daddy.
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.

This is the shelter for the

But my daughter is here.
-What's her name?

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?
Oh, uh...
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,
- 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.
How is she?
She asleep?
Her finger is gone.
She made sure of that.
I got it all bandaged up,
but she's still refusing
to go to the doctor.
I figured that.
What did Ray say?
He said that Bonnie
kept them locked up
for a while.
Too long.
I killed them both.
No. You, uh...
They'd already moved on.
-There was something
in their eyes.
-Wade.
You can't do this
to yourself.
Bonnie should
have taken them in.
And what about Mag?
What happens
when she gets close?
Don't think
about that right now.
Just... just...
Let's enjoy the time
we have with her.
-What is it?
-Shh.
Wade?
Stay here.
Bonnie?
It's late.
How's Mag?
About as good
as she can be.
Doctors gave us
all these special rules
and papers for children
with her condition.
"Lock subject
in room at night.
"Avoid touching subject
without gloves."
Never once said her name.
Julia.
She's just four.
She was scared.
She slept with us most nights
as it was, so we'd...
We'd take turns
with her through nights.
She got worse.
One night Nathan went in,
didn't wake me for my turn.
Next morning, door was locked.
Locked himself in with her.
I pounded and pounded
on that damn door,
cried till I couldn't no more.
Still, never answered.
But he knew.
He knew what he was doing.
Take me to where they're at.
Dad! There's
someone on the phone.
- Hello?
- Mr. Vogel?
-Yes?
- Yes. Hello, sir.
This is Mr. Garmen
from the quarantine unit
of St. Mary's Hospital.
We're calling to inform you
that we've scheduled
a follow up appointment
with Dr. Vern Kaplan to track
your daughter's progress
in advance of quarantine.
Tomorrow we're
gonna go and see Vern
about your finger.
No arguments.
You hear me?
James, Carrie,
get over here.
Right now!
Come here,
sit by Mama.
--Wade.
-Vern.
-Maggie.
- Okay, take
a deep breath for me.
--Let it out.
Lungs are clear.
Scans show that the asthma
has receded already,
and your heartbeat
is abnormally strong.
That's a good sign.
Now... let's have
a look at your arm.
Looks like the origin site
is spreading.
Maggie,
what happened here?
- She broke it.
- I cut it off.
Why would you
do such a thing?
What good's a finger
if your arm's falling off?
Maggie, your arm
is not going to fall off.
Now, there's a lot we don't
know about this thing,
but this decay, it'll stop.
Your arm is yours to keep.
You got me?
I'm gonna take
a sample, okay?
Allie's been
asking about you.
Said she tried
to call a few times.
I know she'd love
to hear from you, so...
give her a call, okay?
Doctor's orders.
All right, all done.
All we gotta do now
is put a dressing on it.
I'll have Judy come in
and take care of that.
There you are.
She's strong,
but from what I've seen,
it's progressing fast in her.
Pretty soon, she ain't
gonna want any food.
She's gonna
want something more.
Skin will start
smelling like meat.
When it finally happens,
you're gonna have a few choices.
One, take her
to quarantine.
I'm not gonna do that.
I wasn't suggesting it.
My report will say
she's progressing slow,
so it'll buy you some time.
Option two:
We give her the cocktail
they'd give her in quarantine.
At least this way she'd be
with you when she takes it,
and not a bunch of strangers
or other infected people.
But you know how she doesn't
feel anything right now?
She will feel this.
Reports say
that it's painful.
Extremely.
All the way up till the end.
What's option three?
Make it quick.
Caroline,
the food is delicious.
Oh...
Ah, the stove is shot. I...
Some of it's really...
You think this is funny? Hm?
--Well, no dessert
for either of you.
Is that a threat
or a stay of execution?
Why do you even still
have this piece of crap?
Well, because
I trust this piece of crap.
You know,
Caroline had four cars now,
-and they all broke down.
-Yeah, I know.
I had to pick her up
the last time.
- What did you pick her up in?
You see?
What are you reading there?
Uh, it's called
"Morning Light of the Past."
It was in one of Mom's boxes.
It's like
really, really weird.
Your mother was a bookworm.
Until today, I still don't
know what she saw in me...
because she had everything.
She was smart, beautiful,
-and she had those long legs.
-Okay. Okay, Dad. Thank you.
-That's enough.
-What? I mean,
I'm just saying.
I mean, the whole time we dated,
she always pushed books on me.
She always
wanted me to read more.
And I just didn't have
the time with the farm and all.
-You read to me all the time.
-Only because she made me.
I remember just
before you were born...
and I bought
a whole bunch of books.
And your mother had
a hell of a green thumb.
And there was this one book
that I read to you
over and over.
It was called, uh,
"A Daisy's Journey."
That's actually
how you got your name.
-There's a Marguerite in it?
-And your mother
loved those flowers.
She just loved them.
And she was so strong.
I mean, every time
she needed to fight back,
she did.
You have a lot
of your mother in you.
You know that?
You know, maybe
it was the, um, truck.
What?
Why Mom loved you.
- Well, that's for sure.
- My truck.
No!
No!
--No! No!
Maggie? Allie's here.
Hey. Oh my God.
There she is!
- Shut up.
-Oh...
-Hi!
Where have you been?
Oh. Well, I haven't
been feeling too well.
- Yeah?
-Yeah.
Well, how are you
feeling right now?
-Uh, right now?
-Yeah.
Um... why?
Okay. All right.
Trent and Candace
and a few other people
are going out
to the reservoir tonight.
I know it's not like
a super fun trip to KC
or whatever,
but school starts soon
and I doubt our parents
are gonna let us out
much further than that.
-Trent's going?
-Yeah. Did you hear?
Yeah. How's he doing?
I don't know. I mean,
he seems all right,
but don't take
my word for it.
You should come see
for yourself.
Right.
Come on.
Everybody misses you.
They wanna see you.
I miss you,
and I'm not going
without you. Okay?
Hey, uh, hold on real quick.
-What?
-Here.
I found it on the couch
the other day and threw it
on this old thing.
I figured you
might wanna wear it.
-Thank you.
-Oh, it's nothing.
Go, get out of here
before Allie explodes.
Yeah, I know, right?
We are late.
And you have a nice
young man waiting for you.
Is it gonna be like
this all night?
-Um, yes.
-Oh god!
-Yes, it actually is.
-Take me now.
Oh, here we go!
- Hey! How are you?
- Hey.
-Hey!
-Hi. Long time no see!
I don't get why they're
opening up the school so soon.
-Gotta get back to normal.
-Normal?
What's normal about
all of this?
Now, we have
teachers missing.
Still have a bunch
of infected people.
No offense.
Not you guys.
But like the Andersons.
You know?
-How many more are like that?
-What happened?
She had them
locked up in a room.
Didn't tell anybody.
And they got out,
and Mag's dad found her.
Holy shit, Mag.
What'd your dad do?
Look, does it matter?
They're dead.
Point is,
she screwed up.
I mean, how many other
people have people
locked away? You know?
What should Bonnie have done?
What would you do?
What should my dad
do to me? Quarantine?
Do you know
what it's like there?
My uncle works
at the hospital in KC.
He said that they tell
people everything's nice.
That they'll--
they'll hold your hand
until the end,
but they don't.
They throw you in a big room
with everyone else.
They don't
separate the phases.
Everyone's all
bunched up together,
people eating people,
and they don't care.
So what would you do?
You know what
I would do to me?
I'd put a gun right here.
Bang.
Mason's a dick.
He's just afraid.
Yeah, but he's still a dick.
You know he stayed over
the night before I got bit?
Played video games
and got into all of Dad's beer.
And when he found out,
he put me to work in the
field the next morning.
She looked really bad, Mag.
I don't know why I went
over to her, but I did.
Felt bad, I guess.
I told her to stay there,
but when I turned around
to call for Dad...
she bit me.
I could see it in her eyes.
She regretted it.
Probably didn't
even know she did it.
Then Dad showed up.
He shot her in the chest
and in the head.
I'm sorry.
- It's not your fault.
No. No. I mean...
about us.
I figured I'd done
something wrong.
No. I was just...
scared, I guess.
Yeah. Me, too.
I missed you.
I missed you, too.
I missed that.
So did I.
Well...
Thanks.
Yeah. I'm gonna see you
again this weekend, right?
Yeah. I promise.
Okay. Well, I'm going
to hold you to it.
Yeah, when don't you?
Hey, wait. Wait.
I love you, okay?
I love you, too.
-I'm gonna let you go.
-Okay.
Dad?
Hey.
There's no need to shout.
He's downstairs.
-Let me see.
-Not too close.
I'll be fine.
Do you smell that?
No.
Are you sure?
It smells like food.
It's probably your father
cooking up something
you shouldn't have.
I'll get the drops.
Wade?
Caroline?
You find the drops?
No! No. Hold on a sec.
Oh, hey, did you find them?
Thanks.
So, what was Dad cooking?
-Caroline?
-Oh, uh...
Nothing. Hm... Nothing.
Maggie? Phone!
Hello?
Trent?
What?
Trent.
Please.
Just open the door.
Please.
What are you doing in here?
Just let me talk to him.
Trent?
Maggie.
I can't open the door.
I smelled him, Mag.
I can't go to quarantine.
We're ready for the extraction
and will confirm with you
-that we are en route.
-Easy, gentlemen. Easy.
Go ahead with the extraction.
Your uncle said he
would take care of you!
-He said it wouldn't
be like the others.
-I won't go!
Look, I know
that you're scared.
I am, too.
But you are so strong.
I've always seen that in you.
Just... just let me in!
This is the police.
We are entering the home!
Let's go.
Get away from the door,
Maggie.
Maggie? Please?
You need to open the door!
Come on, son.
It's time.
Trent?
Just open the door.
Step back, son.
Dad? Please? Dad, please!
-Dad! Dad! Dad!
-Listen.
-It's gonna be okay! Trent!
-Maggie!
- It's gonna be okay!
Go home, Maggie.
Just go home.
Dais? Maggie!
Wade? Oh!
- Maggie!
Wade!
Wade!
We have to take her in!
-No! No! No!
-We have to take her in now!
No!
Look at me. Look at me.
Good, Daisy baby.
That's good.
Now tell me.
What happened?
-Hey, come on.
-Don't!
I'm not moving!
I'm not moving.
He was afraid of me.
I didn't know it.
I didn't know it.
I swear, I didn't know it.
I didn't know it.
What was?
What was afraid of you?
The fox. The fox.
I heard--
I heard it and then I--
and then
I caught it in the trap,
and it smelled...
I couldn't stop.
I couldn't stop.
I couldn't stop.
Daddy, I just
wanted to help it!
Daddy, I just wanted
to help it! I'm sorry!
Don't.
I'm sorry.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Wade, please,
just call them.
It's time now.
She has to go in.
What if it was Molly?
Or Bobby?
After everything
that we've been through,
you still think
it's about that?
I've loved her
like she was my own,
but she's
not her anymore.
-Wade, please.
-Don't.
I'm chewing so loud.
She was afraid of me,
wasn't she?
When did she leave?
Yesterday.
I don't feel well.
You got enough
firewood there?
Well, if you'd get
the power turned back on again,
I wouldn't have
to do this everyday.
Well, you know
that's not my department.
So, why are you here?
Need to talk
to you about Mag.
The time's come, Wade.
Can we see her?
- This is bullshit.
- Holt.
No. She's well beyond the time.
She needs to be in quarantine.
We've got
an entire town to protect!
I'm going
to the house, Wade.
You know she needs
to be in quarantine.
Wade...
Get out of my way.
Now, come on, boys.
We don't need this.
Wade, just...
let us take a look at her.
All right?
You're not gonna
take her in.
--Wade!
--Wade!
- Stop it!
Leave us alone.
Maggie, you tell me
you're doing okay,
and we'll leave. All right?
- Ray, look at her.
I'm all right.
Good.
That's all
I needed to know.
Get your ass in the car.
Get in the goddamn car.
- Now, Ray...
- Shut up and listen.
I'll be back.
Between now and then,
you need to figure out
what you're gonna do.
I'm sorry about
what happened. I am...
but you and her ain't
the only ones in this town.
- Are you okay?
- Are you?
- Yeah.
- What happened?
- Sit down.
They wanna
take me away, don't they?
Don't worry.
You're not going anywhere.
There's something
I want to show you.
It's Mama's garden.
But how?
It was your idea.
Before you ran off,
you said that I should plant
some daisies in Mom's garden.
That they would grow.
After you left,
I planted some.
And when we came back,
this was here.
It's the most
beautiful thing ever.
-Thank you.
-You're welcome.
You have to promise me
that you'll do it.
Please.
Promise me that
you'll make it stop.
I just can't...
I can't do it anymore.
You know?
Please, Dad. Please?
You have to do it.
Please.
- Please.
-Okay, baby.
This is what they
give the quarantined.
You want
my personal opinion?
Use that instead.
Hey, munchkins.
I just wanted to call
to say that I love you guys.
Bobby, Holly.
I just wanted to say...
Is that you, Holly?
Tell him thank you
for bringing me home.
I just...
It was horrible.
I'm so lucky
to have you.
- Dais?
- -No.
No.
Maggie, what happened?
--Maggie!
Maggie! Snap out of it!
Maggie! Snap out of it!
--Come on!
Come on, don't do this!
Not yet. Maggie?
Snap out of it. Come on.
Daddy?
Daddy?
- That's my girl.
-That's my baby.
-Daddy.
