Tldr; woman plays "catch me if you can" while having an active infectious tuberculosis diagnosis. After a car crash and ER visit, she was convinced of the importance of treatment. She consented to treatment and is now released and healthy.

It took beyond the car crash and ER visit to finally apprehend her. The police, trying to act as safely as they can themselves to arrest her, would have to use special isolation gear themselves and an isolated vehicle to pick her up and that's what the big chase has all been about.

As soon as they finally got her at home at the right time in the bubble suits, she finally realized in the negative pressure room at the jailhouse that she was actively a huge biosecurity risk and finally realized that she can trust the health authorities that are trying to help her.
