Karen and Sarah leave the house to go look for Emma in the mine. As they exit the shafts after not finding her, they become surrounded by a dozen of the children. They escape, with the children pursuing them, and find Carlton passing through in his car. They enter, telling him to drive, but the tires are slashed before they can pull away. Karen and Sarah run to Hanks' house, unsure of what to do. Soon enough, Karen figures out that Hanks' blood has a supposed repellent effect on the zombie children. As both Hanks and Carlton attempt to shoot the children, they realize the bullets are ineffective, and run to the barn.
