W-- Rick? Rick's hurt?

[ Ellie's already up.

Shit. Shit, okay, uh...

Uh, I'm on my way. Just--

Just give me a few minutes, I'll be there!

Listen. Listen, there is something you need to know about me. About Dad.

I don't know how your power works. But you gotta know - I should have told you earlier, but I wasn't sure if I could trust anyone with this - [ But Carl knows he has to trust people more now. Dad showed that to him, even if Carl has been here for far longer than Dad - ]

The virus. The one from my world. It's inside me. It's inside Dad. When we die, we turn, unless someone destroys the brain. That's how walkers took over so quickly back home.

Ellie. If you can't save him, then we have to . . . we have to do it.

[ It's a bit hard to focus on the conversation with her heart pounding and her rushing to the car. But she's able, and her brows set firmly when he makes his point. ]

[ She makes a sound of acknowledgement, but it's promptly silenced by the sound of a car door slamming and an ignition turning on. ]

Wait... So you guys are infected?

[ Ellie has to stop a moment, to asses what she's about to do... Because it's clear based on what he says that the infection from their world is vastly different from hers. If you're infected? You're a goner. Simple as that. And she might not be immune to what they have. Still, she shakes her head, confident in her abilities. ]

Nevermind-- Moot point.

[ The tires screech when she stomps on the gas, communicator pressed between her ear and shoulder. ]

Look, it's not gonna come to that. Let's not go there unless we absolutely have to.

How bad is it? Is he conscious?

Last I saw, he's still awake. I'm heading over to him right now. I don't think he's not alone, though. He's with someone. I don't recognize him, but Dad seems to know him.

[ Which is why he's packing a pistol. Just in case. ]

Okay.

[ A pause, just as she turns onto the highway. ]

Hey...

I'll take care of it. Your dad will be okay, I promise.
