Meanwhile, back in London, everyone infected with the virus riots, destroying everything in sight. Hatcher plans secretly to isolate the central London area because of the infection when an infected man breaks into Hatcher's office and tries to kill him. Nelson shoots and kills the infected man, but his blood splatters on Hatcher. Hatcher is quarantined by his right-hand man, Michael Canaris, who also takes his place as "de facto" prime minister. Hatcher later commits suicide, knowing that his exposure means an almost-certain death sentence from the virus.
