A moment of silence. Then the radio operator says the final, terrifying line:
Scarlet realizes the children are their only hope (Alice’s offspring may also carry immunity). She, Tammy, and Andy flee into the subway tunnels just as the bombing begins.

The children bring Alice to the District 1 medical center for help. As Scarlet examines her, Don arrives, now fully infected but still conscious. He watches as soldiers try to restrain Alice (who is terrified, not violent). In a fit of rage, Don attacks a soldier, vomits blood into the soldier's eyes , and instantly turns into an Infected. The containment fails. Within minutes, the tightly packed Green Zone is overrun. Act Three: The Fall of London Code Red: General Stone orders "Code Red"—exterminate all civilians and infected in District 1 to prevent the virus from spreading.

As Don pushes the boat into the water, he makes a horrific choice: he shoves Alice aside to save himself, leaving her to be swarmed and torn apart by the infected. He rows away with Jacob, watching Alice get attacked.
Bored and rebellious, Tammy and Andy sneak out of the Green Zone using a tunnel system. They break into their old, abandoned house in the red zone. There, they make a shocking discovery: Alice is alive. Emaciated, traumatized, but immune to the Rage Virus (the infected never attacked her because she carries a rare asymptomatic immunity). The children hide her and call Don. Act Two: The Second Outbreak The Contamination: Don, overcome with guilt and shock, secretly visits Alice in the children's hideout. He kisses her—a moment of reunion and desperate love. But Alice, though immune, is a carrier . Her bodily fluids contain dormant Rage Virus particles. The kiss infects Don.

Among the first wave of returnees are Don and his teenage children, Tammy (Imogen Poots) and Andy (Mackintosh Muggleton) , who had been evacuated to Spain during the outbreak. The children are told their mother is dead. Don is a broken, guilt-ridden man, but he has become a trusted "essential worker" (a cook) within the Green Zone.
