[West brings Jim to the infected soldier Mailer, kept chained in the yard.]

Got infected two days ago. Mitchell managed to knock him out cold, and we got a chain around his neck.

You're keeping him alive?

The idea was to learn more about infection. Have him teach me.

And... has he?

In a way. [he kneels near Mailer, inducing a fit of groaning and thrashing] He's telling me he'll never bake bread, plant crops, raise livestock. He's telling me he's futureless. And eventually, he'll tell me how long the infected take to starve to death.
