Starting with when the Dark Seekers have Neville, Anna, and Ethan trapped behind the plexiglass wall in his lab, things go off in a different direction. The "lead" Dark Seeker who is repeatedly banging against the plexiglass seems to be trying to communicate something, and Neville senses what it is. He disconnects the "cured" Dark Seeker from her medication, opens the plexiglass wall while the "lead" Dark Seeker keeps the others at bay, and returns her to her "mate". While standing among them and realizing that the Dark Seekers have more humanity than he previously speculated, Neville stares guiltily at all of the polaroids on the wall of his lab. After retrieving the woman, the Dark Seekers leave Neville, Ann, and Ethan unharmed. The final shot shows Neville, Anna, and Ethan driving away in an SUV without indicating how they managed to get off of Manhattan Island.
