The next morning, Dutch and the survivors discover Neville dying in a fountain.

The gun jams, giving Matthias enough time to hurl Zachary's spear at Neville, mortally wounding him. Neville breaks free, and once outside with Lisa, he turns and raises his gun to shoot Matthias, who is looking down from the balcony. Matthias, who finally has the upper hand, forces Neville to watch as the Family sets his home and equipment on fire. Returning home, Neville tells Lisa about Richie's death, but she already knows and has betrayed Neville by giving Matthias and his followers access to Neville's home. Meanwhile, Lisa quickly and unexpectedly succumbs to the disease and becomes one of the Family. After finding a note that Richie left, Neville rushes to rescue him, but instead finds his dead body tied to a judge's chair in a courtroom. Matthias refuses to believe that Neville would try to help them, accuses Richie of being sent to spy on them, and has him executed. Neville disagrees with him, so Richie goes to the Family by himself to try to convince them to take the serum. Once cured, Richie reveals the Family's headquarters to Neville (the Los Angeles Civic Center), but insists that the Family is also human and that Neville's cure should be administered to them, as well. Neville is successful in creating the serum and administers it to Richie. If the serum works, Neville and Lisa plan to leave the ravaged city with the rest of the survivors, and start new lives in the wilderness, leaving the Family behind to die. Neville shoots him and he falls off the balcony to his death, dropping his spear on the balcony as he goes. Neville returns to the apartment to find Zachary right behind an unsuspecting Lisa. Neville leaves Lisa upstairs as he goes to the basement garage to restart the generator.

The Family then attacks, sending Matthias' second-in-command, Brother Zachary, to climb up the outside of Neville's building to the open balcony of his apartment.

Neville and Lisa are about to have a romantic evening together, just as the generator runs out of fuel and the lights go off. Neville and Lisa return to Neville's apartment, where they begin treating Lisa's brother Richie, who is succumbing to the disease. He believes extending his immunity to others may be possible by creating a serum from his own blood. Neville realizes that even if duplicating the original vaccine is possible, salvaging humanity would take years. Although their youth has given them some resistance to the disease, they are still vulnerable to it, and will eventually succumb to mutation.

Neville is sentenced to death and nearly burned at the stake in Dodger Stadium. After a summary trial, he is found guilty of heresy by the Family's leader, Jonathan Matthias, a former news anchorman. On another day, the Family finally captures Neville. He pursues her outside, but later decides he is hallucinating and dismisses the sighting.
