Dr. Ava Paige
[Last words]
I promise. I will–
A line from Dr. Ava Paige
Because things are changing, and not for the better. Infection rates were up 300%. Fortunately, we may be on the verge of a breakthrough. This is Subject A7. He spent over three years in the Maze Trials. The antibodies produced in response have been the strongest we've ever seen. We're extracting a new serum as we speak, and with your support, we'd like to begin human trials.

WCKD scientist
[WCKD tower: Teresa is looking through a microscope when the WCKD scientist enters, causing Teresa to gaze up at him.] [To Teresa]
We're ready.
Teresa
[Teresa enters the medical wing. As Teresa makes her way through the medical wing, she passes by the Cranks, who are pounding against the glass doors that are keeping them separated from everyone else. Teresa approaches Cheyenne, who is infected with the Flare and lying on a bed.] [To Cheyenne]
Chey?
Cheyenne
Hi, Miss Teresa.
Teresa
Hey.
Teresa
[Teresa nods to a doctor, who cleans Cheyenne's arm.]
How are you feeling?
Cheyenne
Okay.
Cheyenne
[Another doctor gives Teresa an injector with Minho's blood in it. Teresa takes it.] [Glances at the injector in Teresa's hand]
Is that gonna make me better?
Teresa
I hope so. Do you remember the story you were telling me? About the house you grew up in?
Cheyenne
I don't remember.
Teresa
The one by the lake?
Cheyenne
[Teresa injects the injector into Cheyenne's arm. Cheyenne starts wincing in pain.]
It burns.
Teresa
I know. I know.
Teresa
[Teresa pulls out the injector from Cheyenne's arm and gives it to the doctor. The doctor takes it.]
There we go. All done. You're so brave.
Janson
[Cheyenne stops wincing in pain as the veins on her skin start to fade and the red in her eyes starts to turn white. Janson is walking down the hall. He finds Paige, who is standing in the hall, watching through one of the lab windows as Teresa and Cheyenne converse with each other. Janson approaches Paige.] [To Paige]
Oh, that is incredible. How soon can you administer to the infected?
Dr. Ava Paige
You show a lot of compassion for someone who just opened fire on a crowd.
Janson
You told me to do my job. I had a shot. I took it.
Dr. Ava Paige
And missed, apparently. The patrols never found a body. Thomas is still out there.
Janson
What about her? Does she know?
Dr. Ava Paige
No. She can't. I need her to stay focused.
Dr. Ava Paige
[Paige and Janson watch through one of the lab windows as Teresa and Cheyenne converse with each other.]
Elevate security levels throughout the city. I'm counting on you to handle this, Janson.
WCKD soldier
[Two WCKD soldiers, one of whom is holding chain cuffs, enter a cell where Minho, tranquil and silent, is lying on a bed.] [To the other soldier]
Let's get him up.
Teresa
[Bringing Minho into a room where Teresa is, the two WCKD soldiers sit Minho down opposite Teresa, then walk out.] [To Minho]
Minho. Can you hear me? There's a little girl here. Her name's Cheyenne. She's been infected for three weeks now. But, Minho– you're going to save her. And you can save so many others. Everything we're doing here– it's working. Do you understand? That's why this is so important.
Teresa
[Minho just sits looking tranquil and silent.] [Gets up]
I just wanted you to know.
Minho
[Calls out to Teresa before she can leave]
Teresa.
Teresa
[Turns around]
Minho? [Approaches Minho] Minho?
Minho
[Breaks from his tranquil and silent state]
YOU'RE A TRAITOR!!! [Grabs Teresa and slams her down on the table, then pulls her up] WE TRUSTED YOU!!! [Slams Teresa down on the table again]
Minho
[As the two WCKD soldiers run into the room, Minho grabs Teresa's metal hair clip. As the soldiers restrain Minho, Teresa gets up.]
GET OFF ME!!! GET OFF ME!!! I'LL KILL YOU!!! YOU TRAITOR!!! YOU KILLED THEM ALL!!!
Nurse
[As Teresa closes the doors, the soldiers taser Minho. As Teresa presses her back against a wall to catch her breath, a nurse rushes over to her, causing Teresa to turn to the nurse.] [To Teresa]
Teresa, they need you in the med lab. It sound serious.
Dr. Ava Paige
[Teresa and the nurse head down the hall. Teresa approaches Paige.] [To Teresa]
I'm sorry, Teresa.
Dr. Ava Paige
[Teresa and Paige watch through one of the lab windows as Cheyenne, who has become a Crank, fights off two men in far more rage, violence, and aggressiveness than before, who are wearing hazmat suits and trying to restrain her, while the WCKD scientist, also trying to restrain her, injects an injector into her arm.] [To Teresa]
It's not your fault. You did everything you could.
[Overcome with sadness, Teresa walks away, with Paige watching on.]
Dr. Ava Paige
[To Janson]
Beautiful, isn't it?
Janson
Yes. It's a lovely city.
Dr. Ava Paige
The walls. It's amazing what people can accomplish when their survival's at stake. Squeeze them hard enough there's nothing they can't do. No line they won't cross.
Janson
You've had a bit of a setback. It's nothing we're not used to.
Dr. Ava Paige
Not this time. The virus is airborne. It's inside the walls. That serum was our last chance. Anyone not already infected will be inside of a month.
Janson
Okay– we can handle this. We just need to evacuate essential personnel, set up at another safe zone further north. We've still got twenty-eight Immunes right here inside this building. We can find more.
Dr. Ava Page
You would. You'd hunt every last one of them down till there was no one left. In spite of everything we've done to them– everything we've put them through– at least we gave them the tools they'll need to survive. Maybe they'll succeed where we failed. [Gets up]
Janson
Are you really telling me that you're giving up? After everything?
Dr. Ava Paige
It's not about giving up, Janson. It's about knowing when you've lost.
[Paige walks away, with Janson watching on.]
