Sgt. Delaney
Ada? Are you okay?
Sgt. Delaney
I thought you were dead.
Sgt. Delaney
What do you mean?
Ada
Never mind. Is it true?
Sgt. Delaney
Is what true?
Ada
What I’m seeing on the news.
Ada
That my dad caused all of this.
Sgt. Delaney
I’m afraid so.
Sgt. Delaney
I didn’t want to either. But it’s true.
Ada
That’s why he was arrested?
Sgt. Delaney
If only your mom had made it…
Sgt. Delaney
she could have told you.
Sgt. Delaney
Look, Ada, I promise to explain everything once you’re safe…
Sgt. Delaney
But right now, I need to get you here to Houston
Sgt. Delaney
and on a transport to a more secure location.
Ada
The bombs didn’t work?
Sgt. Delaney
No. We couldn’t get them all.
Sgt. Delaney
There are too many infected.
Sgt. Delaney
And now it’s dark, and the virus is spreading again…
Sgt. Delaney
sweeping through the suburbs of Houston like wildfire.
Sgt. Delaney
Gunships are doing their best to slow it down
Sgt. Delaney
but it’s too late.
Sgt. Delaney
We’re past the tipping point.
Sgt. Delaney
No one can stop it now.
Sgt. Delaney
So please tell me where you are Ada.
Sgt. Delaney
I’ll send a helicopter and a detachment of marines.
Ada
Not until I get some answers.
Sgt. Delaney
Ada, please!
Ada
I know there’s something about me
Ada
some reason you need me there…
Ada
So either answer my questions
Sgt. Delaney
OK, you win.
Sgt. Delaney
What do you want to know?
Ada
Why the hell did my mom make something that does this?
Sgt. Delaney
First of all, no single person created this.
Sgt. Delaney
It takes a team of very intelligent people to design something this complex.
Sgt. Delaney
Your mother’s job was to create a vaccine and, eventually, a cure…
Sgt. Delaney
but to do that, she had to be in on the design of the virus too.
Sgt. Delaney
Everyone even remotely involved with the project was vaccinated.
Sgt. Delaney
Me. Your dad. Your mom.
Sgt. Delaney
Even you and Christian.
Ada
I was never vaccinated.
Sgt. Delaney
You were. You just didn’t know it.
Ada
is everything I’ve ever been told a lie?
Sgt. Delaney
Let’s just say that no one at Ft. Hood was what they seemed.
Ada
If everyone was vaccinated, how did this happen?
Sgt. Delaney
We BELIEVED there was a viable vaccine.
Sgt. Delaney
It worked in the lab, but…
Sgt. Delaney
Apparently, immunization never occurred in humans.
Sgt. Delaney
The outbreaks at Ft. Hood and in San Antonio proved that.
Ada
How could you NOT know that the cure didn’t work?!
Sgt. Delaney
The only way to know for certain would have been to expose vaccinated humans to the virus.
Sgt. Delaney
Your mother refused to allow that.
Ada
Figures. The one thing you idiots did right and it was a mistake.
Sgt. Delaney
We made a lot of mistakes.
Ada
I still don’t understand why ANYONE would create this.
Sgt. Delaney
Because if we can make it
Sgt. Delaney
then so can our enemies.
Sgt. Delaney
We had to be the first.
Sgt. Delaney
And we do it all the time.
Ada
So how is that working out for us now?
Sgt. Delaney
But trust me, we have worse than this in our arsenal.
Ada
I don’t get it, though?
Ada
Why create something that turns humans into zombies?
Sgt. Delaney
The virus isn’t supposed to turn humans into zombies, exactly.
Sgt. Delaney
More like programmable drones.
Sgt. Delaney
The idea was to create a virus that debilitated humans in a specific way
Sgt. Delaney
which would allow us to re-program them for our own use.
Ada
This sounds like ‘Attack of the Clones’ shit to me.
Sgt. Delaney
Yeah, sort of.
Sgt. Delaney
But it wasn’t even close to being done, yet.
Sgt. Delaney
It’s having unpredicted affects.
Sgt. Delaney
Making some people really violent
Sgt. Delaney
and others just crazy.
Ada
So whose idea was it to make this thing?
Ada
And our government was on board from the very beginning?
Sgt. Delaney
Few knew about the project.
Sgt. Delaney
But enough to get an official go ahead.
Ada
I guess they all know now.
Sgt. Delaney
That and more.
Sgt. Delaney
About a year ago, your dad approached me with an idea…
Sgt. Delaney
He wanted to let the finished virus spread through the Middle East
Sgt. Delaney
and eventually up into Russia.
Sgt. Delaney
To eliminate any opposition to U.S. world supremacy.
Sgt. Delaney
I know it’s hard to accept.
Ada
That my dad wanted to kill half the planet?
Sgt. Delaney
If it means anything, he believed he was doing what was best for his country.
Ada
And you’re absolutely positive he’s responsible?
Sgt. Delaney
Your mother found proof of your dad’s plan to release the virus unsanctioned.
Sgt. Delaney
She was about to expose him…
Sgt. Delaney
So he had his people cause the outbreaks at both bases.
Ada
Doesn’t sound very patriotic to me.
Sgt. Delaney
We don’t have all the answers yet, Ada.
Sgt. Delaney
No one more than me.
Ada
So why are you so desperate to find me?
Sgt. Delaney
It’s a promise I made your mom.
Sgt. Delaney
If something like this happened…
Sgt. Delaney
or if your dad found out she knew…
Sgt. Delaney
I would get you out and meet her at my cabin.
Ada
That’s why she was there yesterday?!
Sgt. Delaney
I believe so.
Sgt. Delaney
Even after being infected, her instinct was to find you.
Ada
Why didn’t you tell me this instead of kidnapping me?
Sgt. Delaney
I didn’t kidnap you
Sgt. Delaney
I rescued you.
Sgt. Delaney
And I was going to tell you when you woke up…
Sgt. Delaney
But you shot me. Remember? ☺
Ada
Oh yeah. Sorry about that.
Sgt. Delaney
Now please tell me where you are.
Ada
And I want to see my dad.
