Running is heard inside the CDC, Edwin runs with his two people, as Rick and all of his group run behind Edwin. Hundreds of walkers are behind them, following them through the building. Edwin opens a door leading to a huge control room, and he goes "IN HERE, HURRY UP!".

Everyone starts to run into the control room, once everyone's in, Edwin grabs the door handle, going to close the door until a walker grabs his arm and bites into it. Edwin screams "AH!". One of Edwin's people run over and they stab the walker in the head. Edwin falls to the floor "Claudia! GET THE DOOR!". Claudia goes to grab the door before it shuts, but the door shuts. Claudia stares in shock and Edwin goes "no".

Rick and all his people stand in the control room. Jacqui bandages Edwin's arm and she goes "all done". Shane looks at Rick and he goes "we're here, now what?" Edwin stands up and he goes "yeah you're here, what the hell do you want?" Rick goes "we were hoping for answers, some kind of explanation about all of this" Claudia smirks "an explanation? You came to the wrong place" Rick looks at him "what does that mean?" the other man looks at all of Rick's people "there isn't anything else out there, the world is over, this thing is worldwide" Andrea goes "worldwide?" Shane goes "and who the hell are you?" the man looks at Edwin "that's Edwin, Claudia, and I'm Jeffery, my friends call Jay" Claudia smiles "I call him Jeff" Jeffery smiles at her. Edwin goes "now, I can't help you people, and I'm sorry, but the door is locked, I can't do anything to save you now either". Edwin goes to walk off until Lori goes "what does that mean?" Rick goes "HEY!". Edwin walks off into his office. Dale looks at a timer up on a screen in the room and he goes "why is it counting down?" Claudia goes "this place holds the deadliest virus', pathogens, diseases known to man, this place is built to protect the human race" Shane goes "that didn't answer the question!" Jeffery goes "it's been rigged to blow, when that hit's zero, it'll destroy any diseases inside this place, we came here the exact same reason you're here, and we found out what you found out" Rick stares at him "to blow?" Shane cocks his shotgun and he goes "we're leaving, now! Come on, let's go!".

Glenn goes "what, this place is gonna blow up-" Glenn looks at the timer "IN TWENTY MINUTES?". Billy goes "mom, are we gonna die?" Donna looks at Allen in tears "Allen?". Ben grabs onto Allen "dad?" Allen hugs his family all together "we're together, that's all that matters". Shane glares at Claudia "OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR!" Claudia goes "we can't, the brainless are outside, and that door was put on lock!" Rick aims his revolver at her "then unlock it" Claudia goes "this is the most dangerous place on Earth, you can't just unlock the doors".

Carl looks at Lori "mom? Are we actually gonna die?" Lori looks at him in tears, and then at Rick. Carol looks at Jeffery and Claudia in tears "please, we have children, you can't do this" Claudia goes "we left the door unlocked because we didn't know if we wanted to die too, we were gonna sit in here, and wait for that timer to go down, but you came, let the brainless in, and we had to shut it". Shane goes "who can open the door?" Jeffery goes "Edwin can". Rick looks at Shane and nods.

Shane kicks open Edwin's office door and he aims his shotgun at Edwin's head "OPEN THE DOOR" Edwin looks at them "you won't make it out" Shane glares at him and cocks his gun "OPEN THE FUCKING DOOR, NOW!" Rick looks at Shane "alright, let me handle this" Rick looks at Edwin "please, we just wanna go, we wanna live" Edwin goes "trust me, you're not gonna make it" Rick nods "I know it's a dangerous world out there, I'm just asking you, please give us a chance to make it" Edwin goes "I mean you won't make it out of the building in time". Rick looks at the timer and he goes "we have fifteen minutes, it's only a two minute run to the door" Edwin sighs "when I put the code in to unlock that door, the system will see it as a threat to human life, the timers speed up, as soon as I unlock that door you have one-hundred seconds to kill all those walkers outside, and then to make to a two-minute run" Shane looks at Edwin and he shakes his head "that's bullshit" Edwin shakes his head "I shit you not" Rick nods at him "we'll take our chances, please" Edwin stares at him "you're sure about that?" Rick kneels down beside him "yes! Please, just let us try" Edwin grabs his key card and he nods "alright, let's try then".

Standing near the door, Edwin goes "you'll have one-hundred seconds to get out, I can't help you once these doors open" Rick shakes Edwin's hand "I'm grateful" Edwin smiles "the day will come, when there will be something to fear more than the dead" Rick stares at him, Edwin then whispers into Rick's ear and Rick's face then drops into fear. Shane looks at Claudia and Jeffery "you coming with us?" Claudia goes "I...I..we-" Jeffery cocks his assault rifle "yeah, we can deal with most of the walkers with these". T-Dog picks up Edwin's assault rifle and he smiles "yeah, this is what I'm talking about". Andrea then goes "I'm gonna stay, with Edwin" Dale shakes his head "Andrea, no" Andrea goes "I'm sorry, I have too". Andrea sits down at a desk and she looks at everyone.

Edwin looks at Rick "ready?" Rick looks at Lori and Carl. Shane, T-Dog, Claudia, and Jeffery stand at the door pointing their guns. Rick nods at Edwin "yeah, we're ready". Edwin swipes his card and the door opens. Hundreds of walkers growl at them. Shane and the others open fire at them. Rick goes "stay behind Shane and the others, we'll make it out of here".

Andrea looks at Dale's who has stayed behind. Dale goes "Andrea?" Andrea stares at him "just go, Dale!" Dale kneels beside her "you told me to stop caring, but...I will never stop caring about you" Edwin looks at Andrea "why do you want this?" Andrea stares at him "my sister-" Edwin nods "would she want this?" Andrea goes "I DON'T KNOW WHAT SHE WOULD WANT, SHE'S DEAD!" Edwin smiles at her "bullshit, you know what she would want, my life is over, but yours? There is so much more" Andrea looks at him and Dale holds his hand out to her, Andrea takes his hand and she stands up "we have forty seconds, we won't make it" Edwin goes "there's a little bunker near the stairs, you'll both fit, wait for the explosion, then come out" Andrea nods at him "thank you" Edwin smiles at her. Andrea and Dale run down the hallway towards the bunker.

Rick and the others make it to the front door where they kick it open. Glenn shouts "QUICK, RUN TO YOUR VEHICLES!". Everyone runs over to their cars and they get inside. Inside Rick's car, he looks at the CDC and he goes "GET DOWN!". Suddenly, the CDC completely explodes.

Inside the RV, Jacqui goes "wait, where's Dale?" Glenn looks around in shock "oh my god". Glenn and Jacqui run out of the RV and Glenn looks at the CDC in shock "DALE!". Rick walks out of his car and he goes "he stayed with Andrea" Glenn stares at him in tears "no, not Dale, please".

Suddenly, a small crate appears in the middle of the rubble, and a small hatch opens. Claudia looks at the hatch and she goes "guys, look at that". Rick looks at the hatch and he sees Andrea and Dale get out of the hatch. Glenn smiles. Sophia points "they're alive!". Andrea and Dale walk towards everyone. Rick hugs Dale. Glenn hugs Andrea. Dale goes "where we headed next?" Lori smiles at them. Rick goes "we head away from the city, hopefully, find somewhere to take shelter for the night". Andrea looks to the floor and she starts to smile. Rick holds Lori's hand.

Later on that day, Rick's car drives at the front, whilst the RV drives behind them. Andrea sits in the passenger seat, as Dale drives. Andrea goes "thank you, Dale, for staying with me" Dale looks at her "I wouldn't ever leave you behind" Andrea stares at him and she kisses him on the lips.

Shane sits in the RV cleaning his shotgun. Jeffery and Claudia both look out of the window.

Inside Rick's car, Carl and Sophia sleep, as Carol sits at the back with them. Rick, who is driving, looks at Lori "back at the camp, Andrea said...Shane was screwing you? Is that true?" Lori looks out of the window with tears in her eyes "I thought you were dead, and he..he..he..he saved me and Carl. Rick, I am so sorry!" Rick takes a deep breath and he looks at his hands on the steering wheel, where he sees his wedding ring. Rick pulls his ring off and places it in a cup holder beside him. Lori stares at the ring in tears and she looks away and looks back outside. Rick continues to drive, whilst in silence, and his eyes begin to fill with tears. Carl looks at them both whilst upset.

In the RV, Dale goes "so Shane, where are we even headed?" Shane goes "just keep following Rick". Shane looks at Andrea and he goes "I'm sorry for calling Amy weak" Andrea smiles at him "you're forgiven" Shane smiles at her "thank you" Andrea nods at him. Shane looks at the road. The RV and the car drive down the Atlanta Highway, passing walkers and exiting the city.
