Summary:

The plan was to reach the CDC in Atlanta. In the early days Matt had pointed out that if anyone was working on a cure or an antidote, they would be there. He'd pictured men in white suits hunched over Bunsen burners, analyzing slides of the deader's diseased cells under high-powered microscopes. That was when the reanimated were mostly restricted to the cities with the largest populations, when there was still some slim chance of regaining control.

Back when he still believed that if anyone could reach Georgia, breach the CDC and save the world, it was John McClane.
