- Victor Strand: [Victor Strand talks to the weeping Doug Thompson in the cage fences of the military base] Fire, earthquake, flood. You bought it all, didn't you? That's not a question. I'm not asking, I'm telling you. I look at a person like you and I know. You are a buyer. How do I know? Because I am a closer. I can sell anything, everything. Ask anyone. Except, uh, insurance.
- Victor Strand: [Victor chuckles, leaning on his knee beside Doug] Can't stomach it. preying on people so weak, so frightened of the future that they entrust the protection of their family to a piece of paper. To some promise of a corporation. What kind of man does that? Puts his wife and children in the hand of strangers. People he's never even met. Then one day... the man is gone. His family alone. The wolf comes to the door. And, well, no one's covered for that.
- [Alicia rides in circles on a bicycle while talking at Chris, who's laying on the roof of a car]
- Alicia Clark: Have you no respect for private property?
- Chris Manawa: Is that your bike?
- Alicia Clark: I'll ask the questions. I'm kind of the law in these parts.
- Chris Manawa: Yeah, we already got people on that.
- Alicia Clark: [Alicia talks in a country accent] Yeah, they're federal. This here is my jurisdiction. Everything from the fire hydrant to the Posada mailbox.
- [Lt. Moyers makes a joke at Travis]
- Lt. Moyers: Okay, Manawa. Let's go see the doc.
- Travis Manawa: What? I thought you said you couldn't do that.
- Lt. Moyers: No, I said you couldn't do that. I can do anything I want. I got guns. I mean, Christ, man. The dead may be walking among us, still United States of America.
- [Madison disagrees with Daniel Salazar about torturing the soldier Andrew Adams]
- Madison Clark: I don't want you to hurt him.
- Daniel Salazar: Do you want your boy back?
- Daniel Salazar: So which is it? You don't want him hurt or you don't want to know?
- [Madison remains silent]
- [Lt. Moyers reminds Travis the situation of the morale amongst the soldiers]
- Lt. Moyers: Travis, I'm gonna shout straight with you, okay? You've been very helpful to me. Okay. I don't like doing knock-knock raids on civilians. It's bad for morale. But look at these guys. These guys are not warriors, these are kids. These are little kids who want to go home to mama. Okay? Or what's left of her. Dark thoughts, Travis. That's my enemy here. Okay? So the best thing I can do is keep these kids out in the field kicking ass and shooting holes in skin bags.
- Lt. Moyers: [Lt. Moyers walks by one of the younger kid soldiers] Cheer up, son. I've been places where they shoot back.
- [Lt. Moyers begins to feel threatened by Travis]
- Travis Manawa: Can you help me get my people back or not?
- Lt. Moyers: I get that you got issues with protocol, but I can't concern myself with civilian problems.
- Travis Manawa: If the ones you took don't come back soon, you're going to have more than me to worry about. You took 11 people. It's a tight-knit community. A lot of kids. Probably be bad for morale if they all came down here.
- Lt. Moyers: That a threat?
- Travis Manawa: No, sir. I'm just being helpful.
- [Lt. Moyers looks to Castro, his second in command]
- Lt. Moyers: Mr. Mayor here would like to go downtown.
- Castro: Sir.
- Lt. Moyers: Yeah?
- Castro: Maybe we can get somebody else this time. First squad's pretty banged up. My men have been awake for 50 hours, sir. We lost Nevins last night.
- Lt. Moyers: [Lt. Moyers stops and pulls out a handkerchief] 50? Here you go. Take that. You got to share it. 'Cause I only have one.
- Lt. Moyers: [Lt. Moyers pushes Castro in the chest] Get your ass back in the truck.
- [Daniel Salazar talks about his daughter Ofelia to the soldier Andrew Adams before torturing him]
- Daniel Salazar: My daughter, she cares for you.
- Andrew Adams: And I care for her too, Sir. Ofelia is very special.
- Daniel Salazar: She's kind, intelligent, beautiful.
- Andrew Adams: Yes, Sir. She is.
- Daniel Salazar: When she was born, I knew I was looking at the only pure thing I would ever have. She was so innocent. She still is innocent. Before she brought you in, she made me promise that I would not harm you, that we would talk, and that I would exchange you for my wife's return. That is not gonna happen.
- Andrew Adams: [Adams begins to grow nervous] Look... we set up command at a college two miles east of here. There's a field hospital. That's where your wife is, okay? You can - You can ask me anything. I won't hold nothing back. I'm - Hey, look, I'm an open book. I'll tell you whatever you want.
- Daniel Salazar: [Salazar silently holds a knife to Adams] I know. I know.
- [Victor Strand talks to Nick about the rules and game changing in this new world]
- Victor Strand: The game has changed. We return to the old rules. And the people who won the last round with their Grande Lattes and their frequent flyer miles are about to become the buffet.
- [Victor Strand see's the photograph Doug Thompson holds tightly in his hand]
- Victor Strand: [Victor takes the photo from Doug's hand] I presume this is the wife.
- Doug Thompson: Maria.
- Victor Strand: Did Maria keep herself up?
- Doug Thompson: What?
- Victor Strand: Her figure, Douglas. Her shape. Does the current Mrs. Doug still resemble the woman in this picture.
- Doug Thompson: [Doug cries] Yeah.
- Victor Strand: See there, now? I'd say your luck is changing.
- Victor Strand: [Victor chuckles] Absolutely.
- Victor Strand: [Victor stands up walking away with the photo, chuckling] Body like that... it's just the ticket to help her latch on the kind of man that's gonna help her through all of this.
- [Victor Strand walks over to the other corner of the cage fence]
- Victor Strand: So, then... who the hell are you?
- [Victor looks down to see Nick look up at him]
- [Travis rides in the military Humvee with Lt. Moyers team, as Travis talks to CPL Cole]
- CPL Cole: Let me get this straight. You're going downtown, through this mess of DZ flesh-eating whatnot to get some kid who ain't your son, some old woman who ain't your mom, and some lady who ain't your wife?
- Travis Manawa: Well, actually, she's my ex-wife.
- CPL Cole: [Cole laughs aloud] No!
- [Travis is forced to shoot the 50. Cal rifle by Lt. Moyers]
- Castro: This is a 50. Cal, so cheek on the stock. Tight to the shoulder. Press the trigger don't pull. Open your mouth.
- PFC Richards: Pressure differential. Pop your damn retina, man.
- Castro: [Travis holds his cheek down, mouth open, and looks doubt the sights, aiming, seeing an infected diner girl in the distance when he takes a breath] That ain't a person.
- [Travis tries to aim, but fails to pull the trigger when he see's the nametag on the infected girl]
- Lt. Moyers: That's what I thought.
- [Dr. Exner and Liza bring in a military patient who has bite marks]
- Dr. Bethany Exner: [Liza is overwhelmed by the dead bodies she's seeing] Anything that looks like a bite is. You're trying to save 6 people, I'm trying to save 600,000. And that means one slip up, one what if, and we all start finding out how the neighbors taste.
- [Daniel Salazar tells Andrew Adams about the room he's in]
- Daniel Salazar: There was a fence just like the one surrounding us now. Inside the fence was a building. In the building a room. And in the room a chair, just like this one where you sit. This is where they bring me. I was young. The man with the blade and the man in the chair, they're not different. They both suffer. Their lives are changed forever. They bring me in and they give me a choice. Which man will I be?
- Andrew Adams: Please. Please stop.
- [Lt. Moyers shows Travis the painted skulls on each tank from the soldiers under his command]
- Lt. Moyers: Okay, look what we do here. Look. 83 of these. 83 of the rotten bastards, all confirmed.
- Travis Manawa: That's a lot.
- Lt. Moyers: [Lt. Moyers smiles, getting in Travis' face] Yeah, that's a lot. That's a company record.
- [last lines]
- Liza Ortiz: [Griselda Salazar passes away as Dr. Exner prepares to terminate her brain] What are you doing?
- Dr. Bethany Exner: The time varies from person to person, but we know that muscle impulse resumes after death. Any death. They all come back, we all come back.
- Dr. Bethany Exner: [Dr. Exner reaches over to grab a bolt pistol] This is a captive bolt pistol. It's used for livestock. Traumatic brain injury is the only thing that stops it. It's the only way to stop them. She'll turn, Liza. And we don't want her to turn.
- [Liza gasps while taking the bolt pistol from Dr. Exner, when Liza fires the pistol into Griselda's forehead]
- [Travis asks the soldier Corporal Cole what happened to his bruised face, which wasn't brusied before]
- Travis Manawa: Yeah. What happened to your face?
- CPL Cole: Nothing, Sir. Momentary lapse of patriotism.
- [Victor Strand tells Nick that he'll need Nick for his certain talents]
- Victor Strand: I look at you, and I see someone who knows the meaning of necessity.
- Nick Clark: Well, I'm an addict.
- Victor Strand: No, you are a heroin addict. That's the gold standard. Don't sell yourself short. The soldiers are leaving. I'm gonna require a man with your talents when I make my move.
- Nick Clark: What move?
- [Victor reveals the key to their fence]
