Of more immediate concern is Nick. After a kindly nurse unties one of his arms so he can use a bedpan with relative comfort, he has enough freedom to untie his other arm and break out. He does just that after the doctors and nurses rush his dying roommate out and leave him alone.

　　当然，最大的麻烦还是Nick。护士解开Nick的一只手，好让他方便用便盆小便。之后，乘着医生和护士急忙将他邻床的病人送去楼下诊救时，他乘机松开了另一只手。

　　He steals some clothes and escapes, though honestly he had a much cushier position cooped up in the hospital .At least there he had a bed, a bathroom, and food. On the outside, he fends for himself, buying a burner phone and making calls to just about anyone who might be willing to help him out. Except for Madison, of course.

　　医院这么好的地方他不待，这里至少有张像样的床，有浴室和食物，然而他却偷了几件衣服便逃离了医院。在外，他独自流浪，买了部一次性手机向他们寻求帮助，当然，肯定是没有给Madison打电话了。

　　That lack of communication only makes Madison’s day more hectic as she and Travis return to the hospital after school. Nick’s nowhere in sight, and the only advice they’re given is to call the police. Madison doesn’t want to, and so she and Travis go out in search of Nick. They try old friends, like a man named Calvin, and the church where Nick was staying, but they come up empty-handed. At the very least, Madison has now seen the damage done to the place Nick called home, though suspiciously there isn’t a body, alive or otherwise, in sight.

　　与儿子之间的交流问题一直困扰着Madison，于是她和Travis在工作后便前往了医院。得知了儿子的消失，眼下只能向警方求助。然而，Madison并不想寻求警方，于是她和Travis两人便出自寻找Nick。他们去找了Nick的好友Calvin,还前往了教堂，然而却没有收获任何与Nick有关的消息。但至少Madison在教堂了解到了儿子近来的处境。

　　Their day only becomes more trying when they return home from their fruitless search. While out on the highway, traffic grinds to a halt as helicopters loom overhead and police lights spin in the distance. They have no idea what’s wrong, but gunshots cut through the night.

　　一天搜查的无果使两人身心疲惫。当两人开车行驶到高速公路时，突然交通堵塞，直升飞机悬浮于空中，警方在远处禁止行人通行。他们不知道发生了什么，只听见震震枪声划破夜空。

　　The two of them discover what caused the hold-up on the road the night before. Leaked footage shows cops and first responders on the scene being attacked by the people they’re presumably there to save. The “victims” seem to be biting at those trying to help them, chasing and clawing after them despite a chest full of bullets. The footage has caused such panic and unrest that the school is closing on a half-day. Madison sends Alicia home while she and Travis head out to find Nick as their relatively peaceful society is clearly unraveling around them.

　　第三天，两人在学校得知了昨晚发生的「奇异事件」。在视频中可以看到，当时警察受到了某「伤者」的攻击。该「伤者」看起来像是在啃咬那些想要帮助他的人。然而可怕的事发生了，就当警察向这名「伤者」开了几枪后，他并没有死，而是继续追逐并撕咬旁人。这个视频引起了学校众人的恐慌，于是校方决定今天只是半天课。而Madison让Alicia回家，而她与Travis则继续去寻找Nick。

　　Speaking of Nick, he’s met up with Calvin, who is actually Nick’s dealer. He wants to keep Nick safe, he tells him, but really, he wants to shut up someone who could blow his undercover operation. He takes Nick out to the Los Angeles River aqueducts, where he plans to shoot Nick dead. But Nick notices the pistol and attempts to wrestle it away from Calvin, killing him in the process. So Nick flees and calls the only person who believes him—Travis. But Travis brings along Madison despite Nick’s wishes, and the trio go to the site of Cal’s death only to find there’s no body.

　　说到Nick，他打电话将Calvin约了出来，殊不知Calvin是名贩毒者。他告诉Nick他想保护他，然而他心中真正所想，是想封住Nick的嘴，以防今后Nick给他带来不必要的麻烦。他将Nick带到了某高架渠下方，他计划杀了Nick，然而，Nick无意中瞥见了手枪，于是两人开始争斗起来，最后无意中射杀了Calvin。受惊吓的Nick打电话给那唯一信任他的人——Travis。但Travis不顾Nick的请求，把他妈妈也带来了。之后，三个人便去事故发生的地点，然而，让众人惊讶的是，Calvin的尸体居然不见了。

　　Assuming Nick really has been hallucinating this whole time, they leave the scene only to encounter a shambling body in their exit tunnel. They stop the car, recognizing it may actually be Calvin. Madison and Travis step out of the car with Nick yelling at them to stay back—he knows what’s happened to his onetime friend, as it happened to Gloria, too.

　　假设这一系列事情都是Nick的幻觉，但当他们准备开车离开事故现场的时候，却发现车后有一位步履蹒跚的人。他们停下来，上前一看那人居然是Calvin。就在Madison和Travis下车后，Nick大喊让他们别靠近他，因为他知道他的好朋友Calvin发生了什么，就像他的女朋友Gloria一样。

　　He’s proven right as Cal tries to attack and bite Madison, but Nick comes to the rescue by ramming the undead Cal with the car not once, but twice, as he won’t seem to stay down. But finally, they seem to put an end to whatever the thing was that attacked them, and they ask that fateful, if not obvious question.

　　Nick的猜测都是对的，Calvin突然试图攻击Madison，但Nick出手相救，用车冲撞了「未死的」Calvin。最后，看到这具「未死的」躯壳，他们扪心自问了一句...

　　“What the hell is happening?”

　　“到底发生了什么?”
