"This is your final boarding call for flight number 732 to Hong Kong." "Excuse me." "All passengers must proceed to Gate 31A at this time." "Wait!" "Sorry, sorry, sorry." "Cutting it close, sir." "Have a good flight." "We made our expectations very clear." "We thought you'd be happy." "You see, our production is two months ahead of schedule." "Chen, we've been over this and over this." "HouseMart operates on the basis ofjust-in-time delivery." "Hell, just about every company in America does the same." "We get the product in, we put it on the shelves, we move it out the door." "No warehousing, no excess costs." "But with more merchandise, you have more to sell, happy customers." "Let me make this really clear." "If any more shipments arrive early, we will refuse them." "You want to produce all this surplus, you pay the warehousing costs." "Tell your bosses everything will be just as they want it." " They'll be glad to hear that." " lt was a mistake is all." "Okay." "What kind of shifts do you got these guys pulling, Chen?" "We are very strict, very fair." "Never more than 12 hours." "This way please." "Yeah, I got a three-hour layover in LA before the Washington flight." "No, you better tell Toby I'm gonna miss the game." "I'm gonna try like hell to make it though." "I hate for him to be disappointed." "Everything went great here." "Crazy though." "Eleven meetings in three countries in six days." "Never again." "Towel, sir?" "Excuse me." "Ma'am?" "Bless you." "Excuse me." "Your towel, please." "I thought doctors were supposed to know better." "I quit seven years ago." "Promise not to tell?" "As long as you promise to meet me in Washington next month." "I wish I could, but God knows where l'll be." "That's it?" "I enjoy my vices but only in moderation." "So much control." "It's second nature." "Why don't you stay a few days?" "I'm better in small doses." "Oh, says who?" "Everyone who's ever tried to make it more permanent." "I'm impressed." "Almost six hours without a page." "I gotta go." "Thank you." "Hey." "How are you?" "How many confirmed?" "Only one dead." "lnfected?" "Eight as of last night." "So there's still a chance of containment." "We need to monitor all news services in Asia for any potential cases." "You have everything you need?" "Yeah, like a Boy Scout." "Always prepared." "Hey, anybody here?" "Do I count?" " More than anyone." " Hi." "Six days ago the Chinese government informed the WHO that a strain of the H5N1 virus had been discovered in a marketplace in the Guangdong province." "Now over 1 .2 million birds were slaughtered in an attempt to eradicate the strain." "But not only does it appear that they failed, but some of their equipment may not have been properly sanitized which may have inadvertently lead to spreading the disease." "At least six of the victims work at a manufacturing facility where a lot of the villagers are employed." "And there is a very real possibility that we may be looking at the first human-to-human transmission of the avian flu virus." "The village has been contained though, right?" "Well, as soon as the government was alerted." "So we might be able to stop it?" "Only if less than 20 people are infected." "But there are only eight so far." "Look, the reality of containment will be difficult if not impossible." "But in this case the global surveillance system seems to have worked and we caught it early." "So let's think positive thoughts, okay?" "The respiratory distress is quite severe." "Continues to worsen." "There's a lot more than eight patients." "Twenty-five in the last 12 hours." "Which means we've lost any chance of containment." "I do not believe we ever had any such chance." "You seem surprised." "Aren't you the one who always said it's not a matter of "if" but "when"?" "How bad do you think it'll be?" "Maybe we'll get lucky." "The pandemic could be mild like 1957 or '68." "Those weren't mild symptoms." "No." "I think at this moment, luck is not on our side." "Great hit!" "Run, Toby!" "Run!" "Run!" " Run, Toby!" " Go, Toby!" "Good job, son!" " Hey, Ed, how's it going?" " Hey, good, good." "Hey, Dan told me you got that promotion." "Yeah, yeah, I took your advice and went for it." "That's great." "They're lucky to have you." "So what did you say to him?" "I told him he was being a jerk and to grow up." "Good." "You know, maybe you shouldn't hang around him so much." "I can handle myself, Mom." "I'm not saying you can't, I'm just suggesting..." "Are you okay?" "Here, Dad." "You're coming down with something." "No way." "Connellys don't get sick, right?" "I think I'll turn the straw around just in case." ""O ye of little faith."" "Okay, Toby, it's two outs!" "Run on anything!" "That's it!" "Go, Toby!" " That's it!" "Run!" "Slide!" " Run!" "Run!" " lt's really unprecedented." "Forty-three governors from around the country flew in for this emergency session." "I'm glad they're taking it seriously." "Very seriously." "They've been meeting with the secretary and director of FEMA for an hour already." "We'd encourage each of you to update your emergency response protocols immediately." "Make sure your comprehensive pandemic flu planning effort integrates..." "Secretary Reed, she's here." "Dr. Varnack, Secretary Reed." "Dr. Varnack, I saw your speech at WHO last year." "It's nice to finally meet you in person." "You, too, Secretary Reed." "Call me Collin, please." "I have a feeling we're going to be seeing a lot of each other." "Yeah." "They're a little worked up." "Director McGarrett, when will we have an answer?" "Some time over the next two weeks." "All right, in order to answer some of your questions, we've invited Dr. Iris Varnack from the Epidemic Intelligence Service to brief us." "She just returned from China." "Dr. Varnack..." "Thank you." "We have been tracking the H5N1 flu virus since 1996." "Now, over that time, less than 100 people have died and most of them handled poultry on a daily basis." "Two weeks ago, everything changed." "The H5 virus mutated and is now transmissible from human to human." "So you're saying this is the start of a pandemic?" "Come on, we can't start throwing around the word "pandemic."" " The public will panic." " Well, that's what it is, isn't it?" " Like the Spanish flu." " The Spanish flu killed 50 million people." " That's not what you're suggesting, right?" " No." "Actually we believe that it could be much worse." "The H5 virus has a much higher fatality rate than the 1918 Spanish flu virus." "We expect two to three waves in the next year or so." "I mean, we believe that the ultimate global loss of lives could reach as high as 150 or 350 million." "And what if we close our borders?" "Now." "Today." "Shut down all the airports, seal ourselves off." "I'm afraid it's too late for that." "Well, since 9l1 1 and hurricane Katrina we've upgraded our emergency response plans." "This is much worse than Katrina." "This is like a hurricane Katrina hitting every city in every state at the same time." "It is going to be a long and brutal ordeal that will rip apart the fabric of society." "The public is gonna be demanding a vaccine and we don't have one and we may not have one for four or five months." "Well, why don't we have one if we've known about it since 1996?" "Because every single strain of influenza is unique and so you can't develop a vaccine until that particular strain comes into existence." "Rest assured though, every pharmaceutical company in the world is working around the clock to develop a vaccine." "It's just a very slow process." "Well, you know what, Collin?" "That's not gonna be exactly comforting to the people sitting at home scared out of their minds." "They're going to be looking to us for answers." "Governor Newsome, what I can tell you is that time is our friend." "The longer the flu virus is around, the less lethal it becomes." "So the more time we can buy, the more lives we can save." "And how long before it hits here?" "We're sure that we have at least a few weeks before it hits America." "That's if we're lucky." "Sixteen hundred rolls so they get $50 a roll." "If we put them, I think it was this aisle right here, we got them stacked down there." "Really, all in all, after adding the six extra aisles, probably 16 months, 18 months to recoup all the costs on it." "It's basically gonna be good." "The other stores around the country are finding the same." "Seems like switching the placement of the toy aisles with the hardware has actually worked really well." "It's a great suggestion, Ed." "The new signage also seems to be having a positive effect." "Ed?" "You feeling all right?" "Ed?" "You all right?" "Could you get her to stop?" "Make her stop." "It's all right. I think they're buying the bat." "No, it's..." "Oh, jeez man, your nose." "Here..." "Maybe you should call a doctor." "Get the hell away from me!" "Get the hell away from me!" "Somebody call 91 1 !" "Hello!" "Dr. Daily, please report to ER seven." "Hello?" "I want to see my husband!" "What's going on, Mom?" "Why won't they let us out?" "Oh, it must be some kind of mistake." "Mrs. Connelly, I'm sorry to have kept you." "What the hell is going on?" "If you could just come back this way with me please." "I'm sorry." "Alone." "An associate of mine is gonna come and take a few samples from you." "What kind of samples?" "Just precautionary." "I want to see my dad." "It'll be okay, guys." "I'm just going to go see him and then I'll come back and tell you." "It'll be all right." "He's dead, isn't he?" "In New York, representatives to the United Nations met today in a rare closed door session as fears continue to mount over the recent outbreak of avian flu in China." "Speculation that the virus has now become transmissible from human to human has reached a fevered pitch around the globe." "Kelly Firland is live from Hong Kong." "He was fine." "He just had a little cough, that's all." "What's wrong with him?" "I'm not currently at liberty to discuss this..." "He's my husband." "I need to be with him." "Of course." "She'll take you." "I need to speak with Secretary Reed." "It's Iris Varnack." "Well, could you please find him?" "Yes. lt's an emergency." "Secretary Reed?" "It's Iris Varnack. I'm sorry to call so late." "Yes, we've confirmed that it's the H5N1 ." "The patient lives in Richmond but he's just returned from the Guangdong province." "There's no telling how many people he's been in contact with." "Well, whether or not Ed Connelly is our patient zero here in America, I mean, you can just bet that he's one of many we'll see in the next few days." "The President wants to meet the press and address the nation." "He needs to do it quickly." "The avian flu is in America." "He's coding." "Let's start compression." "Push some epi here." "All I can tell you is what the President said last night." "The avian flu is here." "We're doing everything possible to ensure..." "First we're educating medical personnel around the country about the flu to ensure the highest level..." "Hospitals have detailed plans about the isolation of infected patients..." "Developing a vaccine is our highest priority." " What kind of precautions?" " Will you be closing schools?" "What about churches and malls and all the other places where people gather?" "Look, this administration believes that those decisions are best left to the respective states." "There is still a lot of debate about whether or not masks are an effective means of keeping the virus from spreading." "Washing your hands thoroughly, those are the kinds of common-sense precautions everybody should be taking." "I want to reiterate there is absolutely no need for panic." "The pneumonia on the lungs causes the acute respiratory distress syndrome." "Not all patients with H5 get ARDS, but those that do, at least 40 to 60% of them will die." "An hour prior to his death he complained of body aches so intense, he thought his bones were breaking." "Coughed so violently that he tore apart his abdominal muscles and his rib cartilage." "Basically, he drowned in his own blood." "Does anyone here actually have symptoms?" "This is worse than last week." "We got more Tamiflu but only 300 doses." "What, they're all gonna be screaming at us again?" "There isn't any us, hon." "I'm off in 15 minutes." "You can'tjust stay a little longer?" "I can't." "They closed my kids' pre-school." "I gotta pick them up before my neighbor leaves for her night shift." "What am I gonna tell all these people here?" "You'll figure something out or they'll eat you alive." "Hi, Judy." "Why are so many people dying while others seem fine?" "That's an important question, Richard." "Not everyone who is exposed to the virus will get sick." "Now, we think that factors like age and genetics and your immune system do play a part..." " Hey, Sandra." " Are you at the Connelly neighborhood?" "Yeah, I just got here." "is it as bad as we heard?" "It's even worse." "I'm on my way to see Governor Newsome now, provided they let me into the fortress of solitude." "I'll call you back." "Thanks." "Dr. Varnack, sorry to keep you waiting." "What can I do for you?" "Flip that switch." "There you go." "Governor Newsome, it's quite a setup you've created for you and your staff here." "As bio-secure as we can make it." "We even have a re-circulating air filtration system." "From here I have contact with every governmental department in Virginia and DC." "My job is to protect the people of this state, and the best way I know how to do that is to ensure continuity of leadership." "Now is there something you needed?" "Yes." "The director of the CDC asked me to come see you." "You've instituted quarantines in several neighborhoods around the state." "That's right." "A couple of housing projects, a military base, and the neighborhood where that first victim lived." "Well, at this point, quarantines won't stop the spread of the virus." "It's already here." "And it sends a terrible message to the rest of the country." "I think it lets the public know we're doing something pro-active." "It makes them feel safe." "These are gonna be extremely trying times and people are gonna resort to desperate measures." "Now, all the quarantine does is make them feel like caged animals." "The residents in all those areas, they're getting food, water, medical supplies..." "You're cutting them off from their humanity which is the one thing that is gonna get us through this pandemic!" "Doctor, maybe you've spent too much time in Africa or Bangladesh or wherever." "Maybe you're used to people sitting back and accepting their fate." "But that's not what we do in this country." "What we do is fight with every weapon in our arsenal." "Now, if that means we have to make some tough choices, then so be it." "I was elected to make those tough choices." "We have to take care of each other." "I couldn't agree with you more." "That's exactly what I'm doing!" "I assume you can see yourself out." "There you go." "Thank you." "Steve Stuart." "Three days." "Address?" "602 Oleander." "There you go." "These'll last you for three days." "When are they gonna let us out of here?" "I don't have that information." "My mom wanted me to get some more gloves and masks." "That's impossible." "They're all made in China and there's nothing coming from over there right now." "Lauren?" "Hi, Mrs. Koppel." "How are you all doing?" "As well as we can, I guess." "We were all cleared of the virus." "Thank the Lord." "I've been saying prayers for you." "We all have." "Tensions escalated as the New York City Mayor's proposed electricity rationing met with stiff resistance from the city council."

"I wish I knew." "He's still in Iraq." "He hasn't answered his e-mail in a couple of days." "My husband Albert, he was a soldier, too." "Many months would go by and I would hear not a word." "I don't know how you stood it." "No one gave me the choice." "$19?" "For coffee?" "Nobody has fresh coffee anywhere else around here." "You can't get it." "For you, $1 7." "I've called the police." "The baby's in there." "Devon?" "What's going on?" "Where's Tracy?" "They're all sick. I was afraid to go in." "I couldn't..." "Scott what are you doing?" "Come on, don't do this... I couldn't save her." "Nobody could." "Okay, well, we'll get you some help, okay?" "We're all gonna die." "Oh, God!" "Jesus." "It's been three weeks now since the first victim of avian flu died." "But citizens here in Moscow are less concerned with health risks than with Russian president Alexandrov's recent ban on all public gatherings."

"Criminal gangs hitting delivery trucks, warehouses." "There's a huge black market opening up." "Are you guys having any problems with local law enforcement walking off the job?" "Yeah, we've lost 25% of our force." "How many inmates is he talking about putting on the streets?" "As many as possible." "Evidently, it's really bad inside the prison." "They've got no way to treat or isolate all the sick." "Well, we can'tjust release convicted felons into the population." " You want to do this another time?" " Yeah." "We have to demand that they send back our National Guard units immediately." "Now, when I make this call, can I count on you two to support me?" " Absolutely." " Yes, of course." "Okay, thanks." "I'll call you later." " Mike." " Yeah?" "We just got word from the White House." "They're not releasing any of the strategic national stockpile of Tamiflu to us." "Why the hell not?" "New York and California are declaring priority because of the number of infected." "Plus the Pentagon's saying it needs more for the military." "That's part of our emergency protocol." "I don't know how much it matters." "Everything I'm hearing is that the anti-virals aren't working anyway." "That is not the point." "We were told we could count on it!" "What's the use of having a plan if nobody wants to follow it?" "Finally." "Two faces I actually want to see." "Your father called." "He and your mom are up at the cabin like you suggested." " Good." "Did they take lots of food?" " Yeah." "You really think it's gonna get that bad?" "Might as well be prepared for the worst." "Bored out of your mind yet?" "I never thought I'd say it, but I'm sick of my PlayStation." "How long are we going to be here, anyway?" "We're going to be out of here before you know it." "Every vaccine manufacturer in the world is working on developing something to stop this." "I just never thought the flu would be such a big deal." "How long do you think it'll be?" "Soon." "We're going to be out of here real soon." "This is ridiculous." "All we have left is rice and flour." "All right." "No, it's not all right." "You have to go down to those idiots at the barricades and tell them we need real food." "Okay, honey." "Mom..." "Mom!" "What is it?" "Toby." "He's sick!" "No." "No, he can't be." "He can't be." "We were fine." "We were all fine." "Oh, my God." "Oh, sweetie." "Oh, my God." "I can't have my baby here!" "I shouldn't even be in here!" "Do you know how dangerous this is for me?" "For my baby?" "Excuse me." "We gotta get some help over here." "Somebody will be right with you, sir." "Just, my mama needs something." "You gotta give her something for the pain." "If you just sit with her, we'll get you some help." "We've been waiting a real long time, okay?" "She's hurting bad." "Okay, just..." "I'm going to find you something, okay?" "Just sit tight." "They just closed the 8th and 9th floors." "They're full?" "The whole damn hospital's full." "The hallways, the cafeteria." "Everywhere." "What is that?" "I'm not staying here." "Tell me, what is that?" "Are you taking the supplies?" "My mom and my little boy are sick at home and it was probably me that got them that way." "I'm not doing this anymore, and don't you dare make me feel guilty about it!" "Alma?" "Alma?" "Alma?" " Alma!" " Curtis?" " Curtis?" "Curtis!" " Alma." "Curtis!" "Curtis, you're home!" "They brought us back." "The whole damn National Guard, they brought us back." "Look at you." "You're so thin." "I was sick a couple of weeks." "I didn't want to worry you." "With the flu?" "I'm okay, look at me. I'm better now." "You were sick and you didn't tell me?" "Sweetie, you have enough to worry about." "I know, but you should've told me." "Everything's gonna be fine." "It's okay, everything's gonna be fine." "Everything's gonna be fine." "Dr. Varnack, I hope your efforts there are proving more successful than our own." "These are dark times indeed." "The reason for my writing is to let you know that our common foe has mutated yet again." "The H5 has become resistant to anti-virals which means we have no more weapons left with which to fight." "The government is keeping it quiet, but we are in terrible trouble." "What you have witnessed so far has been bad, I know." "But America and the rest of the world must prepare for worse." "Much, much worse." "I missed you." "I can't believe you were sick and I didn't know." "I know, itjust... lt hit me and I literally started having these hallucinations and... I was out. i just dropped down right there." "A couple guys actually thought I'd been shot." "I'm better now." "Mostly better anyway." "It takes some people months, even years for their body to fully recover." "No, not me, baby. I'm invincible." "Girl, I'm like superman." "You've only got resistance to this particular strain." "If it mutates, you're..." "Just let me enjoy my little power for a while, okay?" "Okay." "So what exactly are you and the Guard gonna be doing?" "Just keeping order." "Just helping out." "Whatever the police or fire department need." "Whoever needs us." "Well, I need you more than any of them." "And I need you." "I need you." "I need you but I'm gonna be late." "I have to go.

"Like you're going down a street full of land mines." "I'm careful, Curtis." "Can't get away from this, you know?" "Can't get away for two minutes." "What's the point of running when there's nowhere to run?" "Tensions are at a breaking point with both the NAACP and the ACLU sharply condemning" "Governor Mike Newsome's continued quarantine of several housing projects around the state."

"That's really good." "I'll make you something to eat." "I'll be right back." "There's nothing there." "Toby's feeling better." "We..." "We need..." "He needs to eat something." "There isn't anything!" "Okay, then I'll... I'll go to the barricade..." "God, Mom!" "Don't you know what's going on at all?" "They don't have anything either." "Nobody does." "You've been hiding in here while the world's falling apart and there's nothing!" "There's nothing anywhere but sickness and dead people!" "And..." "And you're just..." " l thought Toby..." " He's okay." "I was so afraid." " Why?" " lt's okay." "Why'd it get Daddy and not us?" "Why Toby?" "It's okay." "For God's sakes, it's great news!" "We could use some good news right now." "Well, we hope it is, but until we have..." "Look, it's a vaccine, what more do we want?" "Come on, they're waiting." "We don't have a vaccine." "The French have a vaccine and it hasn't even been tested on humans yet." "So we don't have anything more than we had yesterday." "Whatever we say, we have to be on the same page." "The HHS, the CDC, FEMA..." "A united frontjust like we have been from the beginning." "All I'm asking is that you temper the message." "If people think that a magic cure is just ahead, they might stop taking precautions, and we'll lose whatever strides we've made over the past weeks." "At least we'd give them some hope." "What about the violence we've been seeing around the country?" "We've deployed all the resources at our disposal including the Army and the National Guard to keep things running as smooth as possible."

"Now our care efforts will focus on types 2 and 3 as they have the greatest chance of recovery and I guess I'll just hand out individual assignments when we get downstairs." "Okay?" "So mask up, everyone." "I promise you, as soon as the Governor decides, I'll let you know." "No, I don't know when that will be." "I'll get back to you." "Look, I really don't think we have a choice here." "The quarantines just aren't working." "Well, if we lift one, we have to lift all of them." "Otherwise, it's gonna be seen as prejudiced." "All right, so we lift all of them." "Okay, Mike?" "Mike?" "What?" "All right, so we're lifting the quarantines." "All right, get Ivan to work up something that we can give to the press." "Mike, we really gotta make some decisions about what we're..." "The emergency generatorjust kicked in." "Why isn't everything else coming back on?" "Looks like there was a spike in the power grid."

"A special dedication going out from Kim to her fiance Aaron." "Aaron, Kim wants you to know that now that the quarantines have been lifted and the two of you can be together again, she's never been happier." "So for Kim and Aaron..." "Excuse me." "Can you tell me what's going on here?" "They got a shipment in." "I just hope they got some baby formula this time." "is it always like this?" "Sometimes it's days before they have anything on the shelves again." "Hello?" "Where have you been?" "I saw it!" "Well, I've got it." "You guys can go back and forth all day deciding who gets the vaccine." "Makes no difference if we can't get it to them."

"What do you want me to do about it, Cal?" "Tell these people to stop getting sick and dying?" "It's too damn inconvenient for us?" "You okay?" "Yeah, sure." "Of course." "There's no perfect answer." "There's not." "It's just a matter of which compromises you're willing to make." "How the hell do I become the guy who has to make the decision who gets vaccinated and who doesn't?" "I mean, how do you make a decision like that?" "You've been on the front lines." "You've seen this sort of thing before." "Nothing like this." "No one has." "We're only getting 200,000 doses initially." "Each person has to take two doses in order to be effective." "What would you do?" "Essential medical personnel first." "The doctors and nurses who are on the front lines." "That's who's gonna keep the most people alive." "Even then we could only vaccinate 15, maybe 20% of the people out there trying to save lives every day." "How do you decide which ones?" "All across America it's the same." "Confusion." "Outrage." "Despair." "Horrific images we'll not soon forget." "Riots in our cities." "Anonymous mass graves to accommodate the dead." "Authorities estimate that the number of dead has doubled over the last four weeks, bringing the total number of fatalities to over seven million people worldwide." "Collin, you can't do this to us." "You and the administration approved our emergency response protocol." "We were told that we can get a vaccine as soon as it became available." "I'm sorry, Mike." "We're only getting a limited amount and we have to cover the highest population centers." "Where are my people on that list?" "We have to save as many lives as possible." "Now, just give it a little more time." "There will be more vaccine within four or five weeks." "We don't have time!" "We have been holed up here for over two months!" "We barely have electricity!" "We'll do everything else we can to help." "You have my word." "I had your word that we would get vaccine, too." "Mike!" "Mike." " What now, Jean?" " You need to come." "Why?" "What's going on?" "No, it's not the flu!" "He's a diabetic." "We can't revive him." "They can't get an ambulance for at least a half hour." " They're trying to get a medevac." " Just get someone here." " Derek..." " Where's the ambulance?" " Derek, Derek." " Let me have him, let me have him!" " Come here. I got him, I got him, I got him." " Mike, he needs a hospital!" "Derek." "Derek, come on, wake up." "Mike..." "Oh, God..." " Come on, Derek." " l don't think he's breathing, Mike." "Derek, come on son." "Open up your eyes." "Mike, please." "Mike, he needs a hospital." "Mike..." "Come on, please do something!" "Mike, do something!" "Here they come!" "Go, go, go!" "Archer 4, we need an ETA on the vaccine." "We're only eight or nine minutes out, Archer 6." "Roger that." "Perimeter's secured..." "Archer 6, we're at Broadway and Bleecker." "Street's blocked." "Crossing over to Lafayette." "Archer team, possible hostile." "Repeat, possible hostile." "Archer 4, what's happening?" "Turn, turn!" "Archer 6, we are under attack!" "Get the vaccine, quick!" "Go, go, go!" "Freeze, hands up!" "Mike, we should go." "We shouldn't be here." "Curtis." "Curtis, wake up." "Wake up, baby." "Curtis... lt's okay, it's just a nightmare." "You're okay." "What was it?" "You think they're ever going to go away?" "The nightmares?" "I doubt it." "Between the two of us, we got enough nightmares to last a lifetime." "I don't know... I don't know how much more I can take of this." "Dr. Varnack, thank you for coming." " Of course." " Please, sit down." "Thank you." "I'm so sorry to hear about your son." "Yeah." "He was a..." "He was an amazing young man." "I thought I could protect us." "You know?" "I owe you an apology." "No apology necessary." "We've all struggled through this." "I was certain I was doing the right thing." "Clearly, I..." "Well, that's what everyone finds so difficult to accept." "That there is no escape." "No wall you ever could build will be 100% safe." "No." "So what do we do?" "You can't beat this thing." "We have to keep trying." "Help each other to simply survive." "Survive." "You think you know what that means." "And then everything changes." "The bottom just drops out from under you and your insides are gutted." "There's nothing left." "I don't know how I'm gonna survive." "How the hell am I supposed to help other people?" "Mom, look out!" "That's Jasper!" "Mrs. Koppel never lets him out front." "She'll get him." "Mom, what if something's wrong?" "I'm sure everything will be fine." "Stay here." "Stay, both of you." "Hello?" "Mrs. Koppel?" "Hannah?" "It's Denise." "Are you in here?" "Hannah?" "Hannah?" "is she alive?" "I told you to wait in the car." "is it the flu?" "She's breathing." "It doesn't look like the flu." "Look, Mom." "She has no food." "She's starving." "There's no one to take care of her." "Come help me." "What are we doing?" "Come help me." "We're gonna take her home." "Hannah?" "Hannah, it's Denise. lt's Denise." "Come on, come on." "Get on the other side of her." "It's okay." "Come on, honey." "We need to get you up on your feet." "Take her under her arm." "There you go, there you go." "It's okay. lt's all right." "We're going to take you back with us." "They still haven't called, huh?" "No, but you know, I don't really expect them to." "Well, it's still pretty early." "Not really in the birthday mood anyway." "Oh, please, don't give me that." "You love your birthday, and everybody knows that." "There's not much to celebrate this year." "What?" "Of course there is." "I'm here, right?" "You're here." "And your family's here." "Right, guys?" "Happy birthday, Alma!" "Happy birthday to you!" " Hi Mommy!" " Happy birthday, honey!" "Happy birthday, princess." "We wish we could be there." "Are you having a good birthday?" "It's amazing and you should see this cake that Curtis made for me." " No, it's beautiful, it's beautiful." " And you know how well l can cook." "Hold on." "Sophia's here and she wants to say hello." "Hi!" "I can't believe you're there!" "Yeah, it's amazing." "In every city in the state we're going to break it down into sectors." "Neighbor helping neighbor so we can create volunteer teams that can help in emergencies." "Meal deliveries." "Anything that a community can do for itself." "What we're going to do at the state level is we're gonna open up those distribution pipelines so we can get food and supplies back on the shelves." "The President pointed specifically at Virginia governor Mike Newsome's community-level efforts as an example of the kind of grassroots organization being implemented." "Any change?" "is there nothing for the pain?" "We're hoping for some meds soon." "Not even aspirin?" "Nothing?" "I'm sorry." "We always fight, you know." "Thirty-eight years, two countries," "three businesses, four children." "Always fighting." "How much time do you think we wasted fighting?" "Slowly the nation is becoming almost recognizable again as researchers at the CDC tentatively speculate that the avian flu may have reached a plateau." "Over the last few days, Chicago has seen a 14% drop in new infections, the lowest in the nation." "lnfection rates have continued to rise, however, in some areas of the southwest, particularly in small communities where medical help is not readily available." "Global outrage was immediate today as the newly-elected French president made good on his campaign pledge to nationalize all of the new flu vaccine currently being manufactured until every French citizen is vaccinated." "Excuse me." "Do you work here?" "No." "At this point, we firmly believe that the general public welfare outweighs any legal argument." "If the French government is intent on stopping delivery of the vaccine the American people are expecting," "then we will simply manufacture the vaccine on our own, without them." "You mean, you'll ignore their patent?" "I mean, we will do whatever is necessary to protect the citizens of this country." "Thank you." "That's all." "Mr. McGarrett, how do you feel about that?" "Even though we don't have the vaccine yet, we've been making significant strides forward in terms of how we're managing the current crisis." "On the medical front, we now have systems in place..." "Dr. Kwon's on 263." "He said to find you." "Dr. Kwon, it's Iris." "Do you know the virologist Margarera Samora?" "Of course, out of South Africa." "She's in Angola, following up on some rumors." "What rumors?" "That the virus may have mutated again." "Evidently, several remote villages have been entirely wiped out." "Has she got anything?" "She's just emailed me." "She says the body count is staggering." "Like nothing she's ever seen before." "All right." "Give us a minute." "Preliminary tests on the Angolan virus indicate that it is a mutation of the H5." "Which is to be expected, as influenza is one of the fastest mutating viruses in existence." "How bad is this gonna be?" "I'll be in Angola in a few days and I'll know more once I get there." "When this first started, you told us this flu virus would get less severe with time." "Well, the first wave has become less lethal, which is why you're seeing a steep drop-off in new infections but this is a new mutation." "It's a second wave." "How the hell are we gonna handle this?" "I mean, we've barely started to get distribution lines back up." "The entire economy is on the brink of falling apart." "In 1918, when the Spanish flu hit, there was a relatively mild first wave in the spring." "Now, in the fall, the devastating second wave came which resulted in masses of casualties..." "We have gone from seven million dead to nearly 20 million in just the past few weeks." "You're telling me that's mild?" "Compared to 300 million, it's the tip of the iceberg." "When will we hear something?" "Yeah, okay." "Well, call me if you hear anything." "Okay?" "Sweetie, guess what?" "There's a rumor going around that this thing might be over." "Really?" "Thinking they might cut some of the Guard loose soon." "You think you can go back to an advertising job after being a soldier for so long?" "Sweetie, I will never, ever complain about my job again." "What's that in your hand?" "This is something that I picked up for you." "For me?" " Don't tell me I forgot my birthday again." " No." "But you should open it." "Baby, I thought we were... I think this baby just wanted to be born and he didn't give a damn what we thought about it." "He?" "He?" "It was just a guess. lt was just a guess!" "Oh, baby!" "The French government agreed to start releasing the avian flu vaccine internationally." "With economic sanctions from over 30 countries set to go into effect tomorrow," "French leaders were facing mounting pressure and condemnation for their recent actions." "The flu vaccine is expected to reach America within two weeks." "I thought you were supposed to be in Africa." "I leave in an hour." "Don't waste your time here." "I'm gonna be just fine." "Of course you are." "Nice to see you." "Good to see you." "Good to see you." "Good to see you, son." "Governor, that's Denise Connelly." "She and her family helped organize their neighborhood." "I was very impressed to hear about the work you and your community were doing." "Helping each other out." "Mrs. Connelly, I'd like to ask you a favor." "Of you and your family." "We've started a fund, to help the families of the flu victims." "Survivors like you." "With your permission, of course, we'd like to name it the Edward Connelly Relief Fund." "We'd be honored." "We can move on." "But we won't ever forget." "Now, why don't you show me this beautiful neighborhood of yours?" "All right." "Why don't you come this way?" "We don't know exactly what we're gonna find when we get to Angola." "What we do know is that in some villages and towns there's been a much higher mortality rate." "And what we don't know is why." "A large percentage of that population have weakened immune systems." "Exactly." "So their bodies can't offer much resistance, which allows the H5 to thrive and mutate even further." "So, will our vaccinations protect against that?" "Maybe." "Maybe?" "A vaccine is only effective when it's tailor-made for a specific virus." "So we might be protected." "It might be a completely unique mutation." "No one is bulletproof, so be careful." "Curtis, what are you doing?" "Taking a much-needed vacation." "A vacation?" "Do you samba?" "You're crazy." "Ever since I met you." "You're jumping." "Hey, Dad, watch this." "It's not possible, is it?" "All of them?" "Dead?" "It's not only possible." "It's already out there."
