[Dr Scott is trying to talk to Amy Granderson]
We have successfully taken control of the Nathan James. My people are collecting all your work as we speak. Now, with your research and your samples, Dr. Hamada and his team will eventually learn to make the cure themselves. Wouldn't it be better for everyone if you just agreed to work together?
Work together? What, on your Darwinian experiment? Save those that you deem worthy and, what, just forget the rest?
Perhaps I was overzealous in... "barbarians at the gate," I believe, is what you called them. Doctor, I watched a grown man beat a 12-year-old boy to death over a gas mask. I saw a woman stab her sister in the back for a can of beans. The apocalypse is here. It's been here for a long time. But I am willing to adjust my philosophy to suit your sensibilities if you just help me get the lab up and running.
What about the captain? And my friends?
The best thing you can do for your friends is to let them know you've decided to cooperate with me. That will end this foolish bloodshed.
You say you'll help everyone?
I will.
Well, then, prove it.
And how do you suggest I do that?
You're wasting doses here on healthy people. Let me out into the street with what I have left... save people who are already sick. What, you think I'm gonna try to escape?
I think it's silly. And given the state of the world, I think it's small.
