With Dying Light 2 right around the corner
I, Suggestive Gaming, figured now would be a great time to take a look at where the story
currently stands to get ready for the long-awaited sequel. A couple notes before we start: as always,
I’ll have to leave some stuff out in order to keep this video succinct. This includes most of the
side-stories and optional quests in the first game, to better focus on the main story. I also
won’t be talking about Dying Light: Bad Blood, the standalone battle royale title, since it’s pretty
light on story elements. Additionally, I won’t be going over the “Dying Light 2” audio stories over
on the official YouTube channel of the game, since they’re mostly standalone, but I’ll leave a link
in the description if you want to check those out. Another quick note is that since the DLC
expansion, “The Following”, has three possible endings (and developer Techland is keeping
quiet on which one is actually canon, although there’s a pretty good idea of which one is),
I’ll be covering all three during that section. Also, because this video will likely get
demonetized thanks to… a lot of talk about things that are coincidentally currently affecting the
world. I’ll just leave a quick reminder that I’ve got a Patreon where you can directly support the
channel and keep these videos coming out faster while being bigger and better. Or you can become a
member here on YouTube, if that’s more your style; links for both are in the description.
Obviously not required but insanely appreciated. Alright, without further ado, this is
What You Need to Know about Dying Light. Our story begins in the year 2014, where we find
Dr. Khalim Abbas working in a free clinic in the slums of the city of Harran, Turkey. One
of his patients, a boy named Jorin Baydar, comes in with flu-like symptoms after claiming
to have been bit by a man in the Slums square. While Abbas simply writes it off as a stomach
virus, the boy's feral behavior seems to point to something a bit more serious. This is proven
when the boy is brought back in a few days later, but violently escapes, biting several
family members in the process. As the days continue, more and more cases
of unexplained violent attacks and missing persons occur in the city, but despite Abbas’
protests, President Hamid refuses to postpone the Global Athletic Games that are to
be held in the city in the coming days, instead tasking the doctor with finding
out what’s causing the medical dilemma. The Games are allowed to go on, but the increased
population only causes the reports of murder and missing persons to skyrocket. Abbas
assembles a package of some blood samples of his patients to send to a colleague named
Dr. Christina Marlow in the United States, but somehow loses the attached
letter on his way to the post office, leaving him to send her only the package. He then
stops at the New Town High School where strange chant-like noises have been heard. As he
enters, however, he is attacked by a massive swarm of the yellow-eyed mindlessly aggressive
Infected, who immediately kill the doctor. At the games, an event later
referred to as “D-Day” occurs, when a horde of Infected enter the Games
and attack the spectators and competitors. Two weeks later, Harran is placed under quarantine
after the number of Infected grows beyond control. An eighteen year-old American athlete in the city
for the Games named Mel Wyatt takes refuge in a hotel inside an area referred to as “Nightmare
Row”. When the hotel is attacked, however, she is forced to escape on her own, getting bit by an
Infected during her escape. Rumors of an incoming medicine airdrop from the recently formed Global
Relief Effort, or GRE, give her hope to survive. Mel fights her way through Infected and
uninfected alike to reach the City Hall, where she believes one of the airdrops will land.
There, she also spots her lost brother, Paul, now Infected and completely turned. As she runs
from the Infected outside City Hall, she enters the building and takes refuge in the office of the
“Harran Commission of Health”. Inside, she finds Dr. Abbas’ items, including his letter to Dr.
Christina Marlow, which he dropped on the floor. In it, Abbas describes the rabies-like
virus taking control of the city, as well as the government’s inaction to prevent it
and attempts to instead cover the entire thing up. He also explains that the New Town High School
has become a hot-bed for the newly infected. While in the office, the now Infected Dr.
Abbas stumbles across her and attacks, and she kills the animal
that used to be the doctor. The next morning, Mel finds a supply drop from
the GRE, and inside she finds a single remaining syringe of medication labeled “ANTIZIN”. Not
knowing if the medication helps the already Infected or not, she decides to try to use
it to save her brother instead of herself. She heads to the New Town High School, referred
to by other survivors as a “Nest” of the Infected, and there she is able to disguise her own smell
with the blood of corpses to enter the building. Inside, she finds her Infected brother, and
formulates a plan to give him the medicine. After heading back out into the city
to gather supplies (helping a pair of uninfected girls escape from a biker
gang from the Slums along the way), she returns to the school with freshly crafted
Molotov cocktails. She quickly finds Paul, and using the cocktails, she is able to create
a diversion and get Paul out of the school. Mel gives Paul the medicine, but begins to
succumb to the effects of the virus herself. When the medicine doesn’t cure her brother, she
is forced to use her revolver to put him out of his misery, before turning it on herself,
using her last bullet, but missing the shot. She is then forced to turn, and begins
to hunt her new prey as an Infected. Two months after the initial outbreak in Harran,
the GRE send an undercover agent named Kyle Crane into the quarantine zone to track down a political
figure named Kadir Suleiman, who (blaming the GRE for his brother’s death) stole a file from
them containing highly sensitive information about the structure of the virus, which if
released could pose a huge threat to mankind. After parachuting into the city, Crane is
forced to make a rough landing, allowing him to be ambushed by a group of bandits, led by a
man named Tahir. He uses his firearm to fight off the bandits, but the shot draws the attention of a
nearby Infected, which bites Crane’s arm. Luckily, he is rescued by a woman named Jade Aldemir, who
is able to get him to safety before he passes out. Crane finally awakens three days later, and
finds himself inside an apartment building in the Slums known among the survivors as “The
Tower”. There, he meets Jade’s brother Rahim, who tells him about a lost survivor
on one of the Tower’s other floors. Crane decides to look for the survivor
to prove himself, and once he’s alone, he calls his superiors and fills
them in, admitting his infection, which they claim he can temporarily keep at bay
if he can find some of the Antizin suppressant. Crane finds the lost survivor and helps administer
some first aid until the Tower’s physician, Lena, can arrive to tend to him. Now seeing Crane’s
worth, Rahim asks the man to meet him again, and when he does so, Crane finds
Rahim arguing with his sister about the former’s plan to use explosives to destroy
a nearby Infected nest before she storms off. Rahim takes Crane to the Tower’s rooftop
and teaches him the basics of parkour, a skill he will soon find useful to escape
the Infected in the city. After the training, however, Crane begins to have a seizure as a
result of the virus taking hold inside of him. Rahim then sends Crane to find a Dr. Imran
Zere nearby who can provide him with a shot of Antizin, and he then retrieves a weapon
and heads out into the city of Harran alone. Crane finds the doctor in his mobile research
lab where he is currently trying to develop a vaccine for the virus. In the meantime,
he gives Crane a dose of the Antizin to temporarily keep him from turning. After a quick
call with Rahim, Crane talks with Zere’s guard, Spike, who tasks him with arming a set
of traps to allow the Tower’s leader, Harris Brecken, to retrieve a
GRE supply drop of Antizin. Crane arms the traps, contacting the GRE on the way, who inform him to steal all of
Zere’s research as part of his mission. Crane takes shelter for the night,
and wakes up to bad news from Spike: despite their efforts, Brecken’s mission
failed, and the man was left severely injured. Crane returns to the Tower, and Jade informs
him that Brecken was ambushed by bandits, who attacked him and stole the airdrop.
Crane finally meets Brecken face-to-face, and he volunteers to retrieve the next airdrop so
Brecken can stay behind and heal from his wounds. Brecken reluctantly accepts Crane’s help
and he heads out, helping Lena retrieve some medication for Brecken’s head trauma,
before finding the location of the airdrop. Unfortunately, the bandits beat Crane to the first
drop, but he is able to get to the second one just before sunset. He calls the GRE, who believe that
the bandit’s leader, known locally as “Rais”, is very likely the man they’re looking for,
so they task him with destroying the Antizin to force a meeting between Rais and
the Tower, which Crane can broker. After burning the Antizin, Crane calls
Jade and lies, telling her the medicine is missing. Night then falls, and Crane is
forced to run from the darkness-dwelling, powerful Infected variant known as “Volatiles”
to return to the Tower. There, Crane interrupts a meeting between Brecken, Jade, and Rahim
about buying Antizin from Rais. He offers to meet the man to set up the deal, and Brecken
shows him where the bandit leader’s location is. At Rais’s Garrison, Crane is met by Tahir
once again, who seems to recognize him but lets it pass. He then briefly meets with Rais, who
claims he will take Crane’s services and loyalty, and Tahir sends him to meet with
Rais’s quartermaster, Karim. Karim sends Crane to climb and repair
some communication towers. On his way, Crane calls the GRE and positively
I.D.’s Rais as his target: Suleiman. After repairing the antennas, Crane
returns to Rais to retrieve his payment, but the warlord refuses to hand over the Antizin,
instead offering a double-or-nothing assignment to go collect payments from nearby settlements. Crane
then travels around the city and strong arms these payments from a man named Jaffar, another
named Gursel, and finally one named Morgan. On his way back to Rais, Crane receives a frantic
call from Brecken informing him that someone has fully turned, creating an outbreak on one of the
Tower’s floors. After rushing back towards the Garrison, Crane gets another call, this time
from Karim, who instructs him to investigate a missing patrol that was transporting some
documents. After finding the dead patrol, and the documents, Crane runs back to the
Garrison to finally collect his payment. As expected, Rais again alters the deal, and
instead of paying the promised two crates of Antizin, the warlord only parts with five
vials. He then proposes his final condition for the full payment: bringing Jade back
to his arena to fight for his amusement. Crane refuses, but Rais tells the man to
leave and think about his offer. Outside, Crane calls the GRE, who urge him to fulfill
Rais’s request in order to complete his mission. Crane returns to the Tower with the five vials,
handing them off to Jade before speaking with Brecken, who snaps over losing the entire floor to
the virus and learning that the GRE have stopped the Antizin airdrops. Crane calms him down and
promises to get the Antizin from Rais somehow before going to the roof, where he finds a drunk
Rahim. The young man tells Crane about his plan to blow up a nearby Infected nest inside a
skyscraper to make their nighttime running missions easier. The boy then stumbles off the
edge of the roof, and Crane quickly grabs him, saving his life and earning his trust and
starting a partnership between the two. Crane sneaks off and calls the GRE, asking them
to restart the Antizin drops near the Tower, but they refuse, instead prodding him to get
Jade to Rais’s arena. Right after, Crane receives a call from Jade about a nearby school where
Rais’s men have been loading boxes. Believing this to be where Rais is storing his supply of
Antizin, Jade asks Crane to meet her nearby. At the school, Jade and Crane watch Tahir
kill a trio of survivors before driving off, and the pair sneak inside the school separately.
Crane searches for the Antizin, but comes up short. The pair regroup in the basement, where
they open a box to find what Rais was hiding: not Antizin, but instead a cache plastic
explosive. Rais’s men then attack, forcing Crane to fight them off as a diversion while
Jade escapes the school with the explosives. After the battle, Crane returns to the Tower
and warns Rahim not to use the explosives and instead allow him to execute the plan to destroy
the nest. Crane then meets with Dr. Zere about a rare type of zombie he has seen at night, known
as a “Bolter”, and the doctor asks for a sample of their tissue to study. During the night, Crane
is able to sneak and kill one of the creatures, taking the sample back to Zere. Zere inspects
the tissue and finds that it had been mutated by an altered strain of the virus he had injected
into bait he left around the city. Believing this to mean they can use this knowledge to alter the
strain further to eventually formulate a cure, Zere proposes that Crane delivers the research to
a Dr. Camden in the “Old Town” section of Harran. Crane agrees, and the doctor asks him to come back
later to give him time to assemble the package. As he leaves Zere’s lab, Crane gets a call from
Rahim. The panicked man tells him that he had gone to blow up the nest despite his promise,
but the plan went awry. The call cuts off, and Crane rushes off to rescue him. Crane
finds Rahim hiding in an abandoned train car, and kills the Infected surrounding it
to find the injured young man inside. Rahim quickly hands Crane the explosives, which
he had already armed to explode in mere minutes, and Crane rushes to the nest to plant them.
Luckily, Crane is able to plant the explosives in time, and he escapes just before they detonate,
destroying the Infected nest in the process. Crane returns to the train car to find
a terrible surprise, an infected Rahim, now turned after being bitten during his attempted
mission. Crane is regretfully forced to kill Rahim before returning to the Tower to break the
news to Brecken. During their conversation, they turn to see Jade, who overheard the
entire thing, and she promptly runs off. To make matters even worse, the pair then hear an
explosion outside, coming from Zere’s trailer. Crane goes to investigate and finds
the doctor missing with his lab aflame. Knowing that Zere’s capture was Rais’s
payback for stealing the explosives, Brecken sends Crane to the Garrison to rescue
him. Crane gets to the Garrison and breaks inside, calling the GRE for backup. He’s surprised
to find that the GRE doesn’t answer his call, but instead finds the Ministry of
Defense on the other end of the line, who tell him that the GRE’s mission has been
abandoned, and they instead plan to bomb the city to eliminate any trace of the virus. Crane
explains that Zere has almost found a cure, and the man on the other end gives Crane a 48 hour
deadline to prove it before they drop the bombs. Crane fights through Rais’s men in their compound,
finding Dr. Zere, who explains that he gave his research to Jade before his capture. Suddenly
the lights cut, and when they turn back on, the pair find Rais with his men holding them at
gunpoint. Tahir grabs the doctor, and Rais reveals that he allowed Crane to reach him to give up the
location of his research. Rais then tells his men to search for Jade before stabbing Zere in the leg
and having Crane taken to his arena, aptly named: the Pit. One of Rais’s men then bludgeons Crane
with the butt of his rifle, knocking him out. When Crane comes to, he finds himself in the Pit, while Dr. Zere is being held hostage above. Rais
hints that he knows about Crane’s “lies” before leaving him weaponless to fight a horde
of Infected. Crane survives the arena, and Rais simply states that “the GRE
selects its operatives well”, revealing that the warlord had known the undercover
operative’s true nature all along. He then gives the order to his men to release the file
he had been holding as leverage to the public. Crane chastises Rais for releasing information
that could end up harming masses of people, but Rais shrugs this off, telling him that the
GRE never intended to use the data to make a cure, but they instead planned to weaponize
the virus to sell for profit. Rais then orders his men to kill Crane, but he is
able to very quickly outmaneuver them, grabbing a nearby machete and using it to kill Rais’s
guards before slicing off the warlord’s hand, retrieving his gun from the ground and
shooting the guard holding Zere hostage. Crane rushes to the moving platform lifting
Zere from the pit, and finds the doctor with a knife in his chest. Zere leaves the man with
one final plea to save the people of Harran before dying from his wound. Just then,
Rais cauterizes his wound with a torch, and orders his remaining men to shoot Crane.
Crane runs to escape, but as he clears the compound he again begins to feel the effects
of the virus taking hold, and he passes out. Crane awakens later to find that Brecken had
rescued him and hid him from Rais’s men. The pair discuss Jade, who tried to take Zere’s research to
Dr. Camden in Old Town, but when Rais attacked the doctor’s lab, he allowed a flood of Infected
inside and barricaded himself in the middle. Crane then enlists the help of a group called
“the Saviors”, who help him get into Old Town. After fighting through another ambush from Rais’s
men, Crane emerges in the quarantined Old Town, where he meets with a woman named Troy
who puts him in contact with Jade. Crane finally reveals to Jade that he had
been hired by the GRE, but stresses the importance of getting the information to the
Ministry of Defense before they bomb the city. Angered at the betrayal, Jade
cuts the communication line, but Troy reveals that the last time Jade
was seen, she was at the nearby university. Crane goes to the university and asks the
survivors settled there about her whereabouts, but learns nothing. Crane then calls Troy and
she tells him to come back to her location to see something they’ve discovered. Troy’s group,
the Embers, had broken through the signal blocking in the area, and they watch a news broadcast
about the GREs implication in the virus outbreak, as well as news of an announcement of Harran’s
president claiming that the city was now only inhabited by infected, giving an
excuse to destroy the city with no backlash. Crane helps the Embers detonate a
series of explosives in a pattern to send a message to anybody observing the city
that conscious humans are still in the area. After detonating the explosives, the
Ministry flies a plane through the building, destroying the message and
making the plan for naught. Crane’s actions end up serving a
purpose after all, as they prove to Jade that he does intend to
help the survivors in Harran. The pair agree to meet in person, but
when Crane arrives at the meetup spot, he only finds a message left by Rais, written
in blood, beckoning him to come to the museum. Crane learns that Rais has been using the museum
as his stronghold, and he finds the museum’s custodian, who tells him about a secret entrance
to the building through a series of underwater tunnels. Crane swims through and enters
the museum, where he is confronted by Rais, who shows Crane images of the captive Jade. Rais
then sicks his men on Crane, who fights them off while traversing the museum, eventually
finding the room where Jade is being held. Inside, Rais once again speaks with Crane, this
time revealing that when Crane fixed his antennas, it allowed him to listen in
to all of their communication. Knowing that with Zere’s research he now holds the
true bargaining chip with the GRE, he releases a wave of Infected into the room to kill the
pair. They are able to fight them off, but as they go to escape, Jade collapses. Rais then
reveals that Jade had been bitten hours prior. Rais throws Crane a vial of Antizin, instructing
him to choose between giving it to the woman to prevent her imminent turning, or take it
himself to prevent his own. Jade takes the vial, and asks Crane to promise that he will be one to
kill her when the time comes. He then begins to have another seizure, and hallucinates following
Jade through a dreamscape where he eventually finds her as an Infected, attempting to kill him.
He is soon snapped out of the dream to find Jade injecting the Antizin into him while he holds her
neck, and he lets her go. Rais sends his men in, and Jade swiftly takes them down before biting
into the last one’s flesh, fully turning. After Rais walks away, Jade lunges at
Crane, and he is forced to snap her neck, fulfilling his promise. Tahir then attacks
Crane himself, but Crane is able to defeat the man in battle, recovering Jade’s bag, finding
tissue samples inside but not the other research. He then executes Tahir before exiting the museum. Before taking the samples to Camden, Crane and
the Embers decide to broadcast a message to the world using a signal booster atop a giant antenna
to try to stop the bombing, which is due to happen within hours. After fighting through an army of
Infected, Crane is able to climb the tower and transmit the message, broadcasting to the entire
world that there are still survivors in the area, forcing the bomber planes to abort their mission
and fly away. Crane then receives a call from the GRE offering him a safe escape from the city in
a helicopter in exchange for Zere’s research, but he refuses, knowing they’ll only use the
cure to further cover up their corruption. Crane returns to Old Town and makes his way
to Camden’s lab. There, he travels through the facility while Camden reminisces about the
events that led to him winding up there in the first place, and Crane pieces together that
he wasn’t the only GRE operative sent into the quarantine zone. When Crane finally reaches
Camden, he gives the doctor the tissue samples before leaving to find Zere’s missing research.
Beforehand, however, he decides to call the GRE. When he calls them, however, he is shocked
to hear an unexpected voice on the other end: none other than Rais, who reveals that he took
the deal to hand over Zere’s research to the GRE in order to secure his own exit from the
city so he can continue to wreak havoc outside its walls. He then prompts Crane
to come find him in order to stop him. Crane then fights through the Infected (as well
as the effects from his own infection) on his way back to Rais’s headquarters in the slums,
eventually climbing the tower there to find the warlord waiting for him at the top. Rais throws
the package of research to Crane, who catches it, but is soon met by the next thing Rais throws:
a knife, which lands in his chest. Crane drops the research, and Rais begins to swing a blade
wildly. Crane is able to outmaneuver the man and stab him with his own blade, leaving
him incapacitated to die from his wounds. As he goes to grab the research, the GRE
helicopter arrives, and the distraction allows Rais to get up and push Crane over the edge of the
tower. While hanging on by one hand, Crane is able to throw the research back on the roof before
pulling the knife from his chest and plunging it into Rais’s neck, finally killing the man as he
falls off the tower. Crane then climbs back up to the top of the roof and secures the research.
The GRE then call him and ask him to hand over the research, but he refuses, stating that as
long as the cure exists inside the city’s walls, they can’t bomb it. The helicopter flies off,
and Crane gets a call from Camden, who states that between the tissue samples and the research,
a cure will definitely be possible. Crane then heads off to deliver the package to him, now
with a new sense of optimism and determination. While Camden works on the cure, Crane is
contacted by Lena about a man who spoke to her about people immune to the virus, as well as
domesticated Infected and some kind of “magic”. Lena gives Crane a map the man was
holding, which shows a way out of Harran. The man suddenly awakens and grabs Crane, telling
him to stay away and warning of “the Mother”. Crane follows the map and finds himself outside
the city walls, emerging into the Countryside surrounding Harran. Crane finds a settlement,
and there he meets one of their elders, Jasir, as well as his daughter, Ezgi. Jasir refuses to
answer any of Crane’s questions, but another man, named Kaan (an outsider to the group) explains
that the locals are part of some kind of cult, called the Children of the Sun, that
follows a woman called “the Mother”. Before answering more of Crane’s questions,
Kaan proposes a partnership between the two, sending him off to retrieve a buggy
from a neary group of bandits. When Crane returns to the settlement, however,
he finds Kaan gone, with Ezgi in his stead, stating that the group finally asked him to leave.
Ezgi surmises that in order for her group to cooperate with him, he’ll have to prove himself by
helping them out with various tasks and errands. Crane then drives around the
countryside in his newly acquired buggy, meeting and helping the
various survivors of the land. Through his travels, Crane learns
more about the Children of the Sun, the Mother, and her priests (known as “the
Faceless”). After proving his intentions are pure, Crane is invited to a lake called “the Eye of
the Sun” to be blessed by the mother. There, Crane finds a ritual in progress being led by
the Mother, where he is surprised to see Kaan, seemingly completely indoctrinated by the group.
The Faceless then walk through the crowd holding censers emitting a blue gas. When Crane inhales
the gas, he begins to hear the mother speaking with him telepathically, and he soon finds that
nearby infected are no longer hostile to him. He soon collapses, and when he awakens, he finds
the crowd dispelled, and the Mother now gone. At this point, Jasir gives Crane a keycard
left behind by a former military officer. Using this key, Crane can stumble upon nuclear launch
codes, as well as the key to a military transport vehicle. Inside the vehicle, Crane finds a nuclear
warhead, and if he decides to, he can use the launch codes to detonate the bomb and bring the
virus, as well as all of Harran, to a fiery end. Otherwise, Crane continues to help the Children
of the Sun, also referred to as “the Following”, eventually finding a field covered in the
blue gas. Crane inspects the field and finds the remnants of a military transport vehicle,
including empty crates. The Faceless reveal that the Mother found this “elixir” that works as a
temporary solution to the virus. They are working on a project with “more permanence”, and ask
Crane to find more of the elixir to buy them time. Crane investigates the cave where the
Following originally found the elixir, finding another destroyed military vehicle,
as well as dead members of both the Following, as well as the remnants of Rais’s gang, much
to Crane’s surprise. In order to find the stolen elixir, Crane tracks down the bandits to a
granary which they are using as a makeshift base. There, Crane finds a kidnapped Faceless named
Brother Orcan, tortured to near death. Orcan reveals that the bandits followed them to steal
the cure, but they didn’t know how to open it, so they went after the Mother. In his dying
breath, he tells Crane to go to the Lighthouse. At the lighthouse, Crane is attacked by the
bandits’ leader, who he is surprised to find is none other than Kaan. Crane forces Kaan to reveal
his men’s next move, and he points to the dam, where they intend to enter the Mother’s den and
kill her. In an attempt to kill Crane, the bandits shoot missiles at the lighthouse, bringing it
down. While Kaan dies in the fall, Crane survives without a scratch, and grabs what remains of
the stolen vials before racing to the dam. When Crane enters, however, he finds a slew
of Faceless murdered, as well as a trail of slaughtered bandits. As Crane looks for the
Mother, she telepathically tells him her story: When the outbreak occurred, the Mother and her
husband were bitten, and before the man died in her arms, he gave her a cigarette case containing
a map, a key, and a list of numbers. This led the Mother and her group to the dam, where she found
a locked container which the numbers opened to reveal the vials. With no other choice, the
Mother ingested the serum inside. She then passed out, and when she awoke, she found that she had
turned into “Sentient Volatile”. In the light, she maintains control over her own mind, but in
the dark, the virus takes hold and she becomes one of the feral creatures. She then learned
that when the gas is vaporized, its effects are weakened, and she was able to use that knowledge
to gain her following and take care of her people. Crane tries to ask her for the vials
to save his friends at the Tower, but she refuses to give it to him, knowing
that whatever serum is inside is no cure, but instead a different curse. She then
gives him a final choice: to activate a nuclear warhead the military hid inside the dam
as a failsafe to completely eradicate the virus. If Crane chooses to help the Mother,
she leads him to the warhead, and he realizes that her husband had left
the launch codes with a man named Atilla, who Crane had previously helped before the man
left him the codes in his death. Crane then inputs the launch codes, and the Mother thanks him
just before it detonates, fulfilling her perceived purpose and destroying the virus, sacrificing
the thousands of nearby lives along with them. In the most likely ending, Crane
refuses to activate the nuke, instead trying to force the Mother to hand over
the vials. Knowing he wants the serum so badly, she then opens one of the containers and pours
it into his mouth, forcing him to drink it. Feeling anger over his refusal to help her
save humanity, the Mother then attacks the man, and a battle ensues. While her abilities as a
Sentient Volatile prove to be a challenge, Crane’s own transformation due to his ingesting the
serum begin to close the gap in their abilities. Crane is able to defeat the Mother in combat,
and she pleads with him one final time not to take the serum, as it will poison all of mankind
and doom it to their same fate. Crane instead crushes her skull, killing her before grabbing
the remaining viles. Crane tries to call Lena to tell her about his “new better lead”, but as he
emerges from the dam, he finds himself outside of the quarantine zone. There, a family spots
him, and they are immediately struck with terror. He then looks down at his own arms, seeing his new
form as a Sentient Volatile. The sun then sets, and as night falls, only the sound of a
Volatile’s scream is heard in the darkness. Ten years later, in the European city of Villedor, we find a Doctor attempting to create a
vaccine for the now-named Harran-19 virus. While the vaccine is estimated to be about 83%
effective, it does carry some side effects. Despite this, army General Buran shuts down
all vaccine development, stating that they plan on taking things in “another direction”, while
embracing any side effects. He then orders his men to kill all of the remaining primate
test subjects, while firing the doctor, who is only allowed to take personal items with
her, and she grabs a necklace with a black locket. As she leaves, an announcement
is broadcast throughout the city, and the military begins to deploy the
unfinished vaccine gas into the air. While the doctor tries to warn her fellow
citizens, she is forced to run to her car, where she uses her dress to cover the
vents as she drives out of the city. Once outside the poisoned air, she calls an
ex-girlfriend, asking for a place to stay. Meanwhile, General Buran reveals his
plan in his office to Professor Collins, the doctor originally leading the development. Believing that the virus would eventually
destroy the city, Buran’s intention is to use the incomplete vaccine to cull the herd and
allow the fittest to survive, essentially speeding up the inevitable. While he asks for Collins’
help with the public relations of his plan, the professor declines, and he suddenly dies
on his way out as he breathes in the gas. Later, the Doctor and her Ex discuss the
day’s events, and the Doctor reveals the locket contained a hidden memory card of
her research. She then sees a text message from Professor Collins, who attached his own
report from a test of the unfinished vaccine, showing the progression of the Harran virus from
initial infection to final turning point. The Doctor then decides to find a way to save the city
before more of the gas is released into the air. Inside a military base, Buran looks
at the results of the deployment, and finds the side effects to be
far worse than even he imagined. With Collins now dead, he sends his men to find
the Doctor before they spray the second dose. Unfortunately, during transport,
one of the canisters springs a leak. Back in the Ex’s apartment, the Doctor informs
her that she was able to use the research from the Professor to create an antidote for
the gas. The two then hear an announcement about a party at City Hall to commemorate
General Buran, and they decide to crash it. As they arrive at City Hall, the side effects of the gas continue
to grow and grow, with the military now visibly taking action to stop the Infected.
Inside the party, the Doctor finds Buran, telling her Ex to remember that the formula for
the antidote currently resides inside her locket. The Doctor confronts Buran, and she chastises
him for Infecting half of the city. He is quick to correct her, however, stating that it is no
longer “half” the city, as the second dose is currently being deployed. He offers her a deal to
give him the antidote for 4% of the earnings he’ll make from it, but she refuses, causing him
to don a mask and open a canister of the gas, instantly infecting the Doctor. The Ex
then shoots the General with a gun she wrestled away from his guard, and he runs
off, leaving the two women on the balcony. Not wanting to turn, the Doctor
simply hands her locket to her Ex, then jumps from the building, falling tens
of stories to the gas-filled streets below. The General escapes in a helicopter, taking some
of his wealthy benefactors with him, but leaving most behind. The Ex then stands with the cure
around her neck, knowing that she is now the only hope for the city to fight it’s “real disease” as
the gas begins to rise and envelop her as well. Outside in the city, an extremely agile
Infected leaps across several buildings, before scaling the side of one and emerging at the
top. We then see what remains of the Doctor’s Ex, standing before the city of Villedor as
“the Banshee”, a powerful monster with the cure to her own disease, as well
as the entire city’s, around her neck. And with that, we reach the end of the story
thus far, where we’ll pick back up ten years later when a man named Aiden Caldwell arrives
in the city looking for his missing sister. As we all know, however, the city holds
more secrets than he could even imagine. Hey everybody, thank you so much for watching this
