Once in Oklahoma, Max and his team find the local hospital struggling to cope with the outbreak. Patients are dying at an alarming rate, and the hospital staff is overwhelmed.

He contacts the National Guard and manages to arrange for a helicopter to transport the critically ill patients. However, the situation takes a dramatic turn when the helicopter crashes on its way to the hospital. Max and his team rush to the crash site, only to find the helicopter engulfed in flames.
