[hide][top]Part 1

Rain pours heavily. Datu crawls over to the remains of Glenn, remaining inside of the truck. Datu then radios Max back at the colony, asking for help. Max says help is coming, and asks whether it was an attack, with Datu replying to hurry. Jay then reanimates, due to the bite, and stares at Datu. Datu begs for the zombie Jay to kill him, due to the fact he does not want to live anymore, as he is also infected, and knows he will turn. Z-Jay then starts to walk off, ignoring Datu. Datu picks up the Mata-gun, and uses the last shot to kill Z-Jay. After an unknown amount of time, Michael arrives with his soldiers, to see the remains of the ambush, arriving with first aid. Michael asks what happened, with Robbins asking if he is turning. Puck notices the remains of Jay and a Little one, with Robbins finding the Mata-gun. Michael says that the cuts to his face are not bad, where Datu reveals his bite. The soldiers train their guns onto Datu, with Michael ordering them to stand down. They question Michael as to why he is helping Datu, and keep their guns aimed. Datu tries to stop Michael from helping him, with Puck saying he is at risk, thus putting everyone at risk. Michael keeps attempted to bandage Datu, with the others silently refusing to help. Michael keeps trying to bandage the wounds, but Datu attempts to stop him, asking him to end it. Robbins says that there are only two options, either keeping him alive for Tanya to experiment on, or to finish him now. Datu tells them he did not manage to fix the pump, where Puck finds the remains of Glenn in the back of the truck. Robbins complains about the weather, when Datu asks Michael to not let him turn. Puck asks which kind bit him, to which Datu says a regular one did. Robbins and Puck returns to the truck, annoyed that Michael is refusing to let Datu go. Datu apologises about what happened, and again asks Michael to "take care of him". Michael says that he is not turning, when Datu says he can feel him turning. Michael asks if it hurts, with Datu saying no, and that Michael couldn't tell he was changing. Datu asks if he can dig graves for both Glenn and Jay, saying he cannot leave them as they are. Carl keeps his gun aimed at Datu, where Puck asks if he should take care of Datu for Michael. Michael then calls Tanya, saying he needs another syringe, like the one used to end Amy's life.

Michael continues on to help Datu dig graves, deep enough so nothing can dig them back up. Datu places a wench into Glenns graves, and Jays driving license into his, and then gives a small ceremony to the two. Datu says he is ready to go, where Michael says Tanya is bringing the syringe for him, with Datu going on to dig his own grave. Puck tells Michael that the colony keeps asking if Datu is turning, and that CJ is making her way towards the pump, with Michael asking for updates. Tanya, Kelly and Victor then arrive, with Tanya asking how far along he is. Michael notices Tanya cut her hair. Kelly sees Datu, and starts to run to him, but she is stopped. She asks what is he digging, with Michael saying he is digging his own grave. Tanya asks whether she can examine Datu, saying that he doesn't look like he is even in pain. Another truck arrives, with CJ and Pegs inside. Michael storms towards CJ, dragging her to see the remains of what he thinks is her fault. Pegs tells him that it wasn't her fault, due to the fact that Datu and Glenn decided not to wait for a gun truck. CJ asks about his condition, with Tanya saying she hasn't had a chance. CJ asks how long he has, with Michael saying it doesn't matter. CJ asks whether they got the pump working, with Michael saying that CJ should actually care about the people for once. CJ replies with that she knows them more than Michael does, listing some stuff about Glenn and Jay. CJ says not to lecture her, and that she cares more about them than Michael does. CJ then told them what would happen if the well isn't repaired, and the state of the colony. Michael asks why she didn't tell them sooner, with CJ saying she didn't want to cause a panic. Michael says he could of helped protect Datu and the others, where CJ says that they worked her before without incident. Victor says that no matter how protected you are, sometimes it does not matter. CJ asks, despite sounding insensitive, if Datu can repair the well with his last remaining minutes. Kelly says they do not know how long he has, where Tanya then decides to tell the others about her K18 blood test, giving Datu a timeline of how long he has. Michael asks if it is a good idea, with Tanya saying people are still useful after they're bitten. Kelly says they don't know if he will change, where Michael reveals that Datu said he feels it. Kelly asks if it is possible to cure him, but Tanya says that it is irreversible, and it would be a waste to try. CJ says Datu might not want to help, with Pegs asking Michael to talk to him. Datu turns up, saying he will repair the pump, telling them to stay back, just in case. Tanya then goes on to examine Datu, saying she needs a blood sample, and the testing equipment. CJ asks how long it would take Tanya to do this, with Tanya saying she has to either bring the machine here, or go back to the mortuary. Michael says he and his soldiers will stay with Datu to help, with Victor and Pegs volunteering, but Datu says he does not need that many people. Datu makes a list of what he needs, with Puck putting restraints onto Datu. Victor says he will go back with Tanya, with Kelly asking if they should say goodbye now. Tanya gives Michael the syringe, and says she needs a blood sample, and that she will give Datu a pick line. Pegs goes to Michael, where they go to hug each other.

Everyone leaves to go do their jobs, with Michael and the soldiers staying to help Datu, and to take notes about what to do. Robbins asks why the pump burned out, where Datu says he must of gotten the voltage wrong, and needs a different transformer. Puck decides to call it time, due to it being late, until Tanya arrives, with the testing equipment. Tanya says she ran the samples, but needs one more in order to plot the timeline. According to the timeline, Datu is turning very slowly, but needs more samples to get a proper result, meaning that Datu is certainly going to die, but unknown when.
