Eventually, they are forced to kill her to stop her. As all the residents in the building head downstairs for safety, the team finds a second old woman similar to the first and bring her downstairs with the others.The residents begin to panic as the CDC quarantines the building. Meanwhile, Angela interviews a little girl named Briana who lives in the building. Briana is ill and says that her dog is at the vet because he appeared to be sick as well. A health inspector wearing a hazmat suit arrives and attempts to treat the injured people who were bitten, but they suddenly become fiercely violent. ........
