[Dr. Edwards talks to Beth on the roof of the hospital as the two look out at the bombed city buildings]

Dr. Steven Edwards:
When everything started, Dawn reported to a guy named Hanson. They had orders to clear the hospital and move everyone to Butler Park. It was close to midnight when we heard the jets, the bombs. The screams. I was on the third floor. Dawn and Hanson's teams were doing a final sweep. And we knew it was bad, just didn't know how bad until we came up here. The city had fallen. And everyone we evacuated... they were just gone. We kept mostly to ourselves at first, 'til the food ran out. We started going out on runs, a few of us at a time. We'd see people who needed help. Barely holding on. But we were barely holding on ourselves. Came a time where I couldn't look away anymore. I found this kid. Naplam burns on his clothes, his skin. Dawn said we couldn't spare the resources. So we struck a deal. I'd use what I could to heal him and he'd compensate us for those resources through service. Now...

Beth Greene:
You're not the problem.

Dr. Steven Edwards:
We lost people. That was the problem. Hansen cracked. Made some calls got people killed. Dawn took care of things. She took care of him. She saw us passed it. Kept us together. Kept us alive.

Beth Greene:
You call this living?

Dr. Steven Edwards:
We're still breathing. Patients we brought here, they're still breathing. Outside these walls, alone, unprotected, they'd be dead. We'd be dead. We're not the ones who make it. As bad as it gets, it's still better than down there.
