"Fire Department." "Mm-hmm." "[Moans]" "Uh, didn't the doctor say something about moderation?" "What does he know?" "He knows..." "[Transylvanian Accent] What a shameless, lustful woman you are, my dear." "And he doesn't want us to hurt the baby." "Oh." "Well, we're gonna have to be careful." "Anyhow, I have a feeling that if anything happened to this baby... you wouldn't marry me." "I wouldn't take a chance like that." "Oh, now that's a hell of a thing to say." "I'm marrying you, not the baby." "Would you believe I don't want you to go?" "[Phone Ringing]" "Hey, where you goin'?" "David, I've gotta answer the phone." "[Ringing Continues] [Siren Continues Blaring]" "What phone?" "[Laughing] Okay." "I'll make you a deal." "Hmm." "I won't answer the phone if you don't go to the fire." "Deal." "[Ringing Continues]" "Go on." "Geez." "Hello." "[Siren Continues Blaring]" "God, that's awful." "Sure, I can come down immediately." "Yes, Doctor." " What's that all about?" " The fire, it's at the dairy farm." " Mitchell's?" " Mm-hmm." "Yeah, those poor kids." "They're both burned pretty bad." "They're going to bring them into Dr. Brookmyre's office... until we can get an ambulance in from Unity." "Evans City Fire Hall." "Where's it at?" "I didn't hear the code." "That's the old dairy farm." "Must be pretty bad." "I could see the flames clear over at my place." "Hey, Clanker!" "See the soldiers?" " Soldiers?" " Couple truckloads of 'em." "Hmm." "Poor schmucks." "Wonder what they're doing here." "[Dispatcher] Evans City Base, off and clear." "[Man #1] Is Dan here yet?" "[Man #2] Didn't see him." "What's everybody looking so happy about?" "Give me a smoke." " Don't it bother you, dragging' out like this?" " Somethin' to do." "[Siren Blaring]" "[Siren Continues Blaring, Fading]" "[Engine Starts]" "[Siren Blaring]" "Good morning there, Judy." "The Evans City Volunteer Fire Department apologizes for dragging you out of bed this way." " You got a bad mouth, Clank." " Yeah?" "You're late." "I was the first one here." "[Judy] David, be careful, please." "I will." "Don't worry about him." "I won't let him do anything dumb, even though I still think you picked the wrong guy." "You're a slob, Clanker." "Ain't no girl gonna pick you." "I'm gonna break your head." " Aw, ain't that cute?" " Shut up and drive." "[Engine Revs]" "[Judy] Where's Dr. Brookmyre?" "Are you the nurse?" "Who are you?" "Where's Dr. Brookmyre?" " In the office with Major Ryder." " Major Ryder?" " How many syringes do you have?" " Look, what's going on here?" "Major Ryder will explain." "We haven't got time." "Break out those syringes." "We're gonna need a lot of them." "The girl just died." "I think I can save the boy." "Move, Nurse!" " You've known about this for days." " We never thought it would happen." " But you notified me!" "You must have suspected!" " Notifying you was precautionary." "We never thought it was possible." "We've got to call the hospital in Unity!" "We need an ambulance for those kids!" "I'm afraid I can't allow that." "We're bringing in our own medical personnel with emergency equipment." " But this isn't the sort of thing" " Look, we've quarantined the area." "We're sealing off the town." " Have you got Colonel Peckem yet?" " [Soldier] Yeah." "Uh, get Dr. Brookmyre a gas mask." "Yes, sir." "Yes, sir, they're certain." "They have three cases reported." "They're waiting for verifying blood tests." "We'll need somebody from Trixie on the spot." "Is that being taken care of?" "I'm leaving for the airstrip now." "I should be in Evans City within two hours." "Who knows about this?" "Press blackout?" "Yes, sir, we'll button it up." "I'll be available by radio on the plane, and I'll report in from Evans City." "All right, sir." "Give me Major Ryder on 2C, please." "Major Ryder, have you set up a perimeter around the town?" "Do the best you can." "Three more companies are on their way." "They may get in there before I do." "In the meantime, try to set up some kind of a perimeter." "Nobody gets in or out of that town." "Now, is that clear?" "This is a blackout situation, so from here on in we're using voiceprint checks for all communications." "You don't talk to me or anybody else unless you got a voiceprint check." "That's the order of the day." "Go on, fellas, bring the hose here." "We need a lot of slack." "[Firemen Chattering]" "[Fireman] You may want an air mask." "Easy." "Easy!" "[Firemen Shouting]" "Sheriff, what the hell's going on?" "What do you think, you lunkhead?" "There's a house burning." " No, no, what's this about the soldiers?" " Okay, let's move it." "Clear the area around the house and let it burn out." "We could still save a good part of it." "Just get the lead out of your ass and do something to help." "I want them trees down over the garage." "I don't want them trees goin' up." "There's a chain saw over by the wagon." "What the hell?" " [Man Shouting] Get that fireman by that window there!" " He just went crazy." "[Shouting Continues] He set that fire himself." "His wife's dead." "He killed her." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "When Mac and I first came here, he was laughing like a hyena." "Then all of a sudden, like as if he had realized what he had done, he started to cry like a baby." "Look out the car in there!" "It's gonna blow up!" "Come on, man!" "Attaboy!" "Go in through that window!" "Come on, through the window!" "Oh, my trees!" "My trees!" "They're all gonna go!" "[Man On Radio] Uh, that is correct." "With the ultraviolet light operative, there is no need for your masks." "We want all medical personnel to wear their masks at all times, however, and any civilian volunteers." "You will need masks outside the protected area, Looks good." "Looks good." "But in the ultraviolet, we're considering it safe without a mask." "How much serum do we have?" "Not very much, I'm afraid." "Boy, you people sure come prepared, don't you?" "Everything's on its way, Doctor." "I mean, I can't snap my fingers and make it appear!" "In a couple of hours we'll have everything we need." "It's not a cure." "Just a strong antibiotic to build up resistance." "Sir, Company "A" has arrived with the rest of the radio gear." "Where do you want it installed?" "Set it up here." "This'll be temporary headquarters." "Sir, need a deployment for Company "B."" "Where do you want this box?" "Put it over there." " Grab this one." " I'll do it." "[Soldier] Somebody give me a hand, will ya!" "What the heck they gonna do with all this?" "What's happening?" "Listen to me and don't talk." "There's a quarantine on the town." "Everything's going to be all right." "I just don't want you and the baby exposed." "Exposed to what?" "Just listen and don't say anything." "It's a highly contagious virus." "We're expecting several cases of it by morning." "I just don't want you around here." "You're gonna need me." "I need you like a hole in the head." " We've got a whole army medical unit on the way." " What's the army do" "Will you listen to me?" "They're not going to want me to let you go, so you're going to have to sneak out." "[Man] Okay, try this one!" "I want you to take a syringe and some antibiotic for David." "You have to stay in town, so find David and the two of you stay away from people." "[Man] Get this one over here!" "Dr. Brookmyre, I think we should discuss larger facilities." "If this thing gets any worse, we're gonna need someplace to set up an infirmary." "Nurse, I'd like you to work with my doctor there." "The men that haven't been inoculated are gonna need their shots when they report in." "Nurse, we need more needles!" "These men with the ultraviolet need shots!" "Follow doctor's orders." "[Man] What's all this stuff for?" " So we can get in and out of here." " [Chattering Continues]" "[Man] Over here." "Over here!" "All right." "Got it." "Burn a little?" "Yes, ma'am." "You're okay." "Thank you, ma'am." "[Man] Get out of the way!" "I've got things to do!" "[Chattering Continues]" " Come on, move your legs!" " All right, all right." "Spend all day and night around here." "Start moving your ass and unpack this stuff." "This is headquarters now." "Major Ryder, you said you wanted to discuss larger facilities." "Maybe we could set something up at the high school." "How do you intend to let the people know about all this?" "How?" "Well, we've been promised bullhorns and loudspeakers." "No telling when they're gonna arrive!" "[Car Door Slams] Hey!" "Wait!" " [Engine Cranking]" " Hey!" "Hey!" "Stop!" "You can't" "Hey, hey, hey!" "[Announcer On Radio] Twenty-five minutes before the hour of 10:00." "This is Bob Lee till 12:00." "News and sports is in 25."

"We ain't done yet." "Move it!" "Move it!" "Somebody can't find nothin' to do!" " It's about time you got here." " Sheriff, they're setting up roadblocks." " What?" " Out on the interstate ramps." "They got one up over on I-80 too." "What the hell gives here?" "I don't know." "They're making an announcement at church services tonight." "All hell's broke loose in town." "Nobody knows what's going on." "We're up to our asses in soldiers." "What are you talking about?" "Where is that major?" "At the doctor's office." "They're setting up their gear there." "They'll be headquartering over there." " Brookmyre's office?" " Yeah." "They're giving the soldiers some kind of injection." " They say there's not enough for the town." " Injections?" "What the hell is this about?" "I don't know." "Stoney said he'd seen a truckful of 'em going through town." "Truckful, hell." "Must be a couple hundred." " Couple of hundred?" " Just get your butts back after that fire." "What the hell's going on, Sheriff?" "You'll know when I do, boy." "Let's go." "[Siren Blaring]" "What do you think, old buddy?" "Judy's at Brookmyre's." "I got the wheels if you want to bust in and find out what's up." "Let's go." "[Church Bell Clanging]" "Saturday night service is a high mass." "Yes, Father." "We'll try not to disturb it any more than necessary." " Perhaps after the mass I could ask the people to wait." " No, Father, I have to insist." "We need to inform the people." "I've got to make this announcement." "Excuse me, Father, but we have the authority to do this with or without your approval." "You're aware of the plane crash last week." "Yes." "That plane contained an experimental vaccine." "We are afraid that crash may have caused the spread of an infectious virus... through this area." "We can't give a story to the press yet." "We've got to see what develops." "We need some medium for reaching the people in that town." "It's bad enough we didn't have adequate supplies ready." "It'll all be under control within a few more hours." "A few more hours?" "That can be disastrous." "You put martial law on a town, drive a sneak perimeter around 'em like that, and you're just polarizing the situation." "That army becomes an invasionary force." "Those people are gonna resist." "We're all concerned with Evans City, Mr. Hawks, but our primary consideration at this point is national security." " [Teletype Buzzing]" " All the citizens are being rounded up." "We've got to get them together in a central area." "That'll solve the communications problem and check any possible spread of the virus." "Telephone and telegraph are cut off except inside the Evans City limits." "They've jammed the air to prevent any ham stuff from going out." "You've got to get the president on the phone." "We've got to get a nuclear weapon in the air above that town." " Isn't that a little drastic?" " None of us wants to resort to that." "But we've got to be ready." "If Trixie jumps that perimeter, this thing could spread over the entire continent." "All right." "Get me the president." "We'll recommend that he- [Sighs]" "Instruct SAC to send a plane... on a training mission over Evans City." "Find out what size weapon it should carry to... burn out the infected area." "[Men Chattering]" " Any report from Trixie?" " They haven't rounded up the entire team yet, sir." "But several of the ones they reached are already airborne." "They're on their way to Fort Dietrich." " We need somebody from that team in Evans City, damn it!" " Well, Trixie was going to recommend a man." "Oh, the hell with that!" "Get the first Trixie man that arrives!" " It's a mistake." " Have a plane at Dietrich and get him on it!" " One of the biggest goddamn boners of all time!" " The first man." "You understand?" " Dietrich?" " Don't even bother to check him in." "We're not to even check you in, sir, just get you on that plane." "What's going on?" "Look, I'm a key man on the Trixie team." "A key man!" "I'm one of the developers of the goddamn thing!" "I gotta have access to a lab." "Gotta have access to my computers." " Our orders are to get the first man on the team in the field, sir." " Jesus Christ, this is so random!" "A lousy technician is what you need out there!" "Fly me out to Evans City and you're tying my hands!" "Don't you see that?" "I don't have access to that equipment, I'm useless!" "You'll have to clear this with command." " Don't you realize the consequences?" "Soldier, stop the car." " I'm sorry, sir." "Those are the orders." "Orders, my ass!" "Stop the car!" "You're gonna have a hell of a time getting me on that plane, soldier." "Maybe so, sir, but we'll do it." "It's the last we have." "Aw, come on!" "Can I have a hand over here?" "[Screaming]" "Goddamn voiceprint check is a waste of valuable time." "We gotta make snap decisions." "If I can't get through to you without a five-minute delay" "I gotta authorize all these decisions on my own." "I don't like the position it puts me in." "I know, I know." "I know Peckem will be here, but until then I'm in charge." "I don't like being a brass asshole." "I'm not an infantry man." "I'm Chem Corp. Remember that?" "Huh?" "You don't know what it's like out there." "How can I hold the perimeter and fight a small-scale war at the same time?" "I need those additional men!" "Many of the people in the outlying area are farmers, and they've got weapons." "You expect us to lock up our end, huh?" "Well, what about your end, damn it?" "All right." "I'll see what we can do." "They're meeting with more resistance, and they've run into a few more cases of infection." "Major Ryder's requesting more men." "I'll wait for Colonel Peckem's evaluation." " Sir, if" " Peckem'll be in there by 2:00." "They can hold out till then." " We have a man in there telling us that maybe they can't." " Oh, come on, Frank!" "This is highly organized, riot-trained army." "You can't tell me that they're unable to hold the perimeter... on a small town through early morning." "## [Rock]" "## [Stops] Please!" "Listen up!" "Listen up!" "Town is under quarantine." "We have you all under martial law." "We'll take you all over to the high school." "We'll explain it to you over there."

"[Ryder] That's right. 0900." "Check." "Now, you listen to me, Ryder." "Buck's been telling me what's going on here tonight." "I don't mind telling you we're mighty tired of being pushed around like this." "Yes, sir, I know." "We've just had no way of preparing anybody for this kind of thing." "It just kinda snowballed on us and we were forced to take action." "You said it would never come to this!" "Look, we've cooperated with you." "We've attempted to keep this thing quiet in order not to create a panic." "But, Christ, we never expected this!" "Neither did we... sir." "We're trying to get everyone into the high school." "We're setting up an infirmary there." " Are we under martial law?" " Yes, sir." "Well, let me tell you something." "You just can't walk all over the people of Evans City that easy, Major." "And as mayor of this town, I'm protesting your action." "In fact, I'd like to speak to somebody higher up." "Yes, sir." "I'm Colonel Peckem." "Good evening." "Major Ryder?" "Yes, sir." "I assume we don't need the masks in the ultraviolet." "That's correct, sir." "I'll be with you gentlemen in just a minute." "I want to speak with Major Ryder and find out exactly what's been happening." "Major?" "Yes, sir." "Right this way." "I'll be a son of a bitch." "You don't smoke, you bastard." "No." "Where am I gonna get me some smokes?" " Hey, Clanker, that's Judy." " Sure it's her?" "Yes, I'm sure." "She's heading out to the fire." "You sure?" "Yes, I'm sure, damn it!" "Hey, be cool, buddy." "We'll get her." "[Announcer On Radio] Rainy and 65 outside the Big "K" studios." " She's giving it more gas." " She doesn't know it's us."

"[Soldier] Come over to the van." "Move it back." "Move out." " What's all this about?" " We're rounding everybody up and taking them to the high school." "What about my car?" "Don't worry." "We'll take care of it." "[Judy] David, I feel stupid." "Stupid!" "Shh." "You didn't know it was us." " Come on." "Get up." " Will you tell us what's going on?" " [Soldier] Let's see it!" " Look, I'm a nurse." " What is it?" " I'm a nurse, I work for Dr. Brookmyre." "I'm supposed to inoculate- No, it's for him." "Get in the truck." "Come on." "Come on!" "Hey, wait." "You're clean." "Let's go." "Come on." "Hey, no problem." "Okay, in the truck." "In the truck." "No problem, man." "Look, I'm not causing any problems." "In the truck." "In the truck." "Yet." "Mothers." " Who's all here?" " Artie Fulton." "My daughter's with me." " I heard you said you were Dr. Brookmyre's nurse." " Yes." "I'm the appendectomy." "The emergency appendectomy at Christmastime?" " Kathy?" " [Engine Revs]" "You okay?" "Yes." "Okay." " Who else is in here?" " That's Frank Winston." " I don't know what's wrong with him." "He seems to be sick." " Know anything about what's going on?" "We were asleep and they dragged us right out of the house." "It's a quarantine." "What?" "It's a quarantine on the town." "Some kind of virus." "[Fulton] What about the soldiers?" "[Judy] I don't know." " Said he'd send a medical team." " We heard some shooting." " What kind of virus?" "Do you know what it is?" " Brookmyre just said it was highly contagious." " And it's dangerous." " Maybe that's what he's got." "Winston!" "Oh, Daddy, I'm all r" " We heard there were roadblocks up."

"[Soldiers Chattering]" "[Baby Crying]" "Grab this one." "I got it." "Did you get this one over here?" "Yeah, I'll get it." "I want to set up a second perimeter." "The inside line will continue to move in toward the downtown area, bringing everything they find with them." "I want the second perimeter two miles inside the first." "This two-mile stretch'll be called, uh, a no-man's land." "Nothing can stay on it." "No one can cross it." " You're talking about an awful lot of men, sir." " We'll just have to get them in here." "What do we have now?" "Five companies." "Why did this get down to the last minute?" "These deployments should have been ready!" "Well, the initial information was that the vaccine was harmless." "You mean they didn't take any precautionary action?" "Routine procedure." "I got here the day of the crash." "Plane went down in these hills above the town." "Investigators reported that the casings wound up in the river." "Apparently the water flows through an underground reservoir... and Evans City is supplied with artesian systems out of that." "So I stayed in town, notified the police and the town doctor... to be on the alert for any high-fever symptoms or delirium." "Sir, the report was that the Trixie team had deactivated the vaccine." "Major, Trixie wasn't developed as a vaccine." "Trixie was developed as a bacteriological weapon." "[Radio:" "Feedback] Comm Central calling Colonel Peckem." "Comm Central, Colonel Peckem."

"Chris." "Chris." "This is Brubaker, Chris." "Glad you're there." "Major Ryder's a competent man and a good officer, but I get the feeling he's hitting the panic button too prematurely." " Mr. Brubaker" " You want a real evaluat" "Mr. Brubaker." "What it's really like out there" "[Shouting] Mr. Brubaker, we're running out of time!" "If you want me to get the job done, you get me the stuff I need and get it before the morning's over!" "[Brookmyre] Let us move over to the high school!" " We haven't got the room here to handle this!" " They're clearing the infirmary area, sir." "We'll move over there as soon as they complete disinfecting." "I've heard that for the last three hours!" ""Equipment and personnel are on their way!"" "Why can't we call Unity?" "If we can't go out, surely we can let them in." "We need that equipment!" "I'm sorry, sir." "We can't let them in."

"Heavy assembly, sir, at the interstate highway." "One of the trucks blew up with masks and filters." "We have a lot of men hurt." " Any civilian casualties?" " Three dead, sir." "Now, you just listen to me, mister." "In addition to being mayor of this town, I also happen to be a practicing attorney." "I know the rights of civil law."

"Unless there are any pet monkeys hereabouts, the only ones infected will be human beings." "If we catch it in the early stages, can it be reversed?" "Oh, we searched for an antidote the three years that project was in existence, Doctor." "No dice." "How many are based in the area, Sergeant?" "Don't know." "They haven't called me." " Dr. Watts, I thought you" " I haven't even been able to call any commanders yet." "They told me I could use the radio on the plane, but it wasn't piped through your alternate network." "We're using the alternates to avoid any chance of a leak." "Ah, yes." "Precious security." "Keep it under wraps at all costs." "Meanwhile, do you realize the blunder that's been made?" "We can have you flown back as soon as we run a compete med check and get a clearance from Washington." " Let's get started." " We don't have all our equipment in yet." "Beautiful." "And when'll that be?" "As soon as possible." "Appropriately vague, Colonel." "Look, it's you think boys who created this thing in the first place." "Oh, that's beautiful." "I'm one of the only chances we have." "I can't get back to a lab because you're not equipped to run a medical check, which we wouldn't need in the first place if I hadn't been packed off here!" "The whole operation is one fat blunder!" "You talk about blunders." "According to the report from your team, the virus was considered inactive." ""Considered." Yes." "That's the important word." "Any man on the team will tell you that means 99%, maybe." "That's a standard we don't set, Colonel." "That's set by the military." " We're not getting anywhere trying to assign blame." " Then authorize me back to the lab!" "I can't take a chance on breaking the perimeter with somebody that might be a carrier." "Trixie has been in these waters for six days!" "Some truck driver could have taken it out of here long before you set up that perimeter." "We're going under the assumption we've got it contained." "We're gonna keep it contained until it runs its course." " Runs its course?" " You said it can't stay active in the ultraviolet light." "It's in the water, man!" "Underground!" "It's obviously in people too." "People are vectors." "They carry it about with them unawares." "The incubation period may vary, Colonel, but ultimately Trixie is going to spread throughout this entire town!" " The town is sealed off." " Oh, Colonel." "Look, shortly before the funds ran out, two of my technicians caught this bug from a rhesus monkey." "One of them was delirious for two days before he finally died." "The other phased in and out until he finally went hopelessly mad." "Those are the two ultimate effects of this thing." "It's not just gonna run its course and be forgotten." "How are you guys gonna explain away a town... that's either wiped out or reduced to mindlessness?" "[Laughs]" "What is this, another piece of information they forgot to pass on to you guys?" "Oh, gentlemen, we're not dealing with a flu virus here." "We're dealing with an often lethal, always debilitating encephalitic mutation." "It leaves its victims either dead or incurably mad." "You got that?" "What are you doing?" "Nitwit." "Somebody's gonna see you out there." "Christ." "I didn't mean to hurt you." "I know." "It's not you." "It's not what you did." "[Clears Throat]" "You're nice." "I like you very much." " Man" " I'm sorry for being such a little girl." "It's okay." "I understand." "I mean, I" " I knew that people die." "Yeah?" "You know, I knew people died." "My father- Your father?" "You understand?" "It's like, uh, all- all these people... dying and, uh, my father... can't feel that." "You can." "I know you can." "I" "I have it, don't I?" "I have the disease." "[Door Opens, Closes]" "Man, you'd better take care of your daughter, 'cause she's in pretty bad shape." "[Triangle Clanging] Hey, reveille, buddy." "We gonna move?" "We'll be right up." "Hey, I found some cigarettes, man." "I had to break a machine open." "There's all kinds of goodies around this place." " Any food?" " Yeah, food and drink." " Just don't get yourself tanked." " No, I'm just warming up." "Hey, you still figure we should try to get out?" "I don't know, man." "These new two are gonna slow us up, buddy." "That chick's got the bug." "I gotta think about it." " Hey, I came up with a radio." " What'd it say?" "Anything about what's going on?" "No, just, uh, music." "It's really weird." "Yeah." "We'll be up in a minute." "Hey, if that chick's got the bug, we could catch it from her, right?" "It depends on what it is." "Well, it's a bug." "We could catch it, can't we?" "We'll be up in a minute." "Yeah, okay." "I mean, it's just... a little ol' bug, right?" "Can't be much" "Clank, would you leave us alone for a minute?" "Okay." "[Sighs] Okay, buddy." "[Exhales]" "You know, the whole time I was in 'Nam I figured you were old Clank's girl." "I never could figure that out." "I hardly even knew him." "Well, I didn't know that." "I saw you with him." "When?" "At one of the games." "Good God, David." "I mean, big Clank?" "How could you even think that?" "Well, I didn't know." "I figured, big football hero." "And I didn't really know you." "I didn't know what you were like." "It wasn't my fault." "Action and adventure." "Evans City's only Green Beret." "Oh, hear!" "Hear!" "[Sighs] Christ." "I can't believe that was me." "[Rifle Slams]" "We're gonna be all right." "I'll work on natural immunity." "[Chattering]" "A million to one against developing any foreign antidote in time." "Sergeant, you get your ass out from behind your desk, quit calling me on the telephone and telling me what you can't do and get that equipment on the double!" "You understand me?" "We're working off the census." "[Man On Radio Speaking Simultaneously, Indistinct]" "Inside the white perimeter- 3,613." "We've got about" "[Man On Radio] Wait a minute." "Say that again, Chris." "Three-six-one-three." "Three-six..." "We've got about two-thirds of the population accounted for." "One-three." "We've got an open revolt." "It's turning into a war zone." "Wait a minute." "We gotta get them into that high school." "Chris, make that your main objective at this point." "Understand?" "Just don't let those perimeters break." "The perimeters are holding, but we've got about 50 square miles of woods and hills that we've still gotta cover." "What's your estimates, Chris?" "How much time?" "I can't tell you how long it's gonna take." "We talking about hours, days, or what?" "Give me a ballpark." "I just can't." "All right, all right, keep it locked up, and let us know as soon as you do." "Standing order, Chuck." "Get this out." "Anyone obviously infected or resisting is to be treated as an enemy, with the ultimate objective to bring them in at any cost." "Yes, sir." "Chuck." " Yes, sir?" " We've gotta burn the bodies." " Sir" " I'll listen to any alternatives, soldier, but until I hear a good one you burn them." "[Ryder] "A" Company reports two men possibly infected." "Sir, the men are getting panicky." "Some of the men haven't even been told why they're here." "Of course not, Major." "That would just constitute a security leak." "One of the objectives is to keep this thing quiet, yes." "But the main objective is to keep the virus contained." "If those men know the truth, they'll be breaking the perimeter themselves." " How can you tell?" " What?" "Don't you see?" "The whole thing's insane." "How can you tell who's infected and who isn't?" " They can't get the helicopters in here for another 15 or 20 hours." " Goddamn it!" " There's a police bird and two city-owned choppers out at the community field." " Get them in the air!" " What sort of authorization will I need?" " Anything!" "Use your rifle if necessary." "I want them in the air, inside the perimeter, radio-linked with the ground." "Report anything they spot, and keep circling the no-man's-land day and night." "Anyone in that area gets one warning shot." " Sir" " Is that clear?" "One warning shot." "What's going on at Trixie?" "Take 'em upwards of days just to reprogram all that data, Colonel." "Until then, we won't even be able to re-create the virus itself." "And afterwards, with the incubation period, my guess is a good week to infect a new set of monkeys." "We have got to start taking blood samples, and we've got to start flying them out to Dietrich so they can at least have a sample of the active virus." "We can't send anything out." "We've got human guinea pigs here." "Over 3,000 shots at finding an immune, but we've go to start taking blood and we've got to start flying it out." " We can't send anything out yet." " Can't you see" "What do you want to do, send 'em out in empty pop bottles?" " [Sighs]" " We need airtight canisters." "I've requested them along with the other decontamination gear." "Hmm." "I don't mean to jump on you, Colonel." "It just amazes me at how shoddy this operation is." "Nothing amazes me anymore, Doctor." "Nothing in this goddamn army amazes me." "I'm a combat man." "I shouldn't even be here." "Just happened to be available." "Maybe expendable." "I'll get your samples out to Dietrich." "In the meantime, why don't you get off your ass and start collecting them?" " Well, does that high school have a chem lab?" " Yes, sir." " I'm gonna need some things." " Medical will set you up." " Can I have a radio put in over there?" " Man needs a radio, soldier." "Man needs a radio." "I need a" "[Chuckles] Man needs a radio." "[Man On Loudspeaker, Indistinct]" "[Man On Loudspeaker] Will be tested and treated for the virus." "Do not resist."

" [Shouting Indistinct]" "I'm gettin' out of here- [Screaming]" "Outta here!" "Get outta here!" "I'm getting out of here!" "Maybe we're doing the wrong thing." "Maybe we should go back to the van and try to get back into town." " The army may just be here to help." " The man thinks the army is our friend." "I just don't know that we're doing the right thing." " Yeah, well, ask Sheriff Cooper." " [David] Whatever they're here for, it's turned into a riot." "Maybe they are just here for control." "If they can turn a campus protest into a shooting war." "Some of the rednecks that live in this area, they could be shooting at each other and not even care why." "So whatever's going on, we're better off away from it." "[Clanker] That ain't saying you can't go back, buddy." "What about the virus?" "Kathy is acting strangely." "For all we know, we may all have been exposed." "We may need medical attention." "I've been thinking." "Maybe somebody's hitting us with bacteriological weapons or something." "Maybe we are in a war." "I just wanna be sure that we're doing the right thing." "Well, we can't be sure, damn it!" "Brookmyre told Judy to keep isolated." "That's good enough for me." "You can go back to town if you want to." "[Clanker] The army ain't nobody's friend, man." "We know." "We been in." "I don't know about you, but, uh..." "I'm gonna stick it out with David."

"All those woods." "There are ravines behind Saunders'." "If we can get through it all, it's there." "Hey, Dave, I think we better shake them." "Shh!" "I'm telling you, that chick's out of her head." " Shut up, man." "Listen." " What?" "[Helicopter Blades Whirring]" "[David] Get down, man!" "Out of sight!" "[Whirring Continues]" "Shit!" "He spotted us." "We gotta break through the woods."

"We'll have to have your voiceprint." "Christ sake!" "He's only down the street from me." "I just left him!" "We'll need to check it, sir, if it's to go through the network." "We'll have to do a recording." "Here, you run this over to Peckem." "To Colonel Peckem, sir?" "Tell Peckem without those samples, Dietrich might as well close down." "If he still refuses to send them out, have him call Dietrich himself and explain it." "But get him the hell off my back!" "Yes, sir." "I'll try."

"[Sighs]" "I'm sorry, Doctor, but they won't authorize anything... until we run a complete decontamination on you." "[Watts] Oh, for Christ sake." "[Peckem] We'll probably have the gear installed by tomorrow." "We can get you out of here by tomorrow night." "[Watts] I'm telling you, Colonel, this information's invaluable." "[Peckem] Can't you radio the data to Dietrich?" "Every time I break this connection, I gotta go through this voiceprint bullshit." "Look, I'm telling you." "We've got a chance to crack it!" "Authorize me out of here!" "Screw the orders!" "Get me out of here!" "I'll have you out by tomorrow night." "If I let you out now, they'd only stop you anyway." "That'd be a longer delay." "At least this way we stay in touch and keep working." "I'm sorry." "It's the best I can do." "Hey, they're gone, man." "That son of a bitch and his kid." "Oh, my God." "David." "[Crying]" "Get him down." "Please get him down." "Get him down." "I didn't do it." "[Clank] Hey, man, look at this." "Come on, Clanker." "We gotta get out of here." "Come on, buddy." "Move it!" "[Man] Come on, girl." "You gotta go in." "Come on." "Yeah, we're taking everybody to the high school." "[Whispers] Hello." "Hello." "What's your name?" "[Bleating]" "My name is Kathy." "Stop it right there." "Hey, man, that's close enough." "Do you want to play?" "No." "You stay away." "Stay away, you guys." "[Kathy] He said I could come out and play for a long time." " But I couldn't go far." " We're gonna have to shoot her." "I saw- Stay away from her, man!" "Stay away." "She's going insane anyway, man." "Shoot her." "Come on." "I have four guns with me." "Come on." " My father" " My father doesn't- - [Men Chattering]" " [Man] All right, everybody, shoot her!" " [Gunfire]" "[Gunfire Stops]" " Oh." " [Bleating]" "[Gunshot]" " You was gonna leave me." " [Judy] Stop it!" "Stop it!" "They're coming, David!" "David." "David, they're coming, please." "Come on, Clanker." "We gotta move." "We gotta get out of here." "[Helicopter Blades Whirring] Jesus, man." "[Exhales] My head's screwed up." "I got the bug, right?" "Come on!" "We've gotta get out of here!" "Oh, no, I got the bug." "Take an arm." "[Mutters]" "I'm scared, man." "I flip out and I can't control myself." " Come on, Clanker." "Will you move." " Hey, big man." "Big green hat." "Move it!" "Tell me where I should meet you." "For God's sakes." "Come on, man." "Tell me where I should meet you." " Clanker." " Goddamn it, tell me where I should meet you!" "I know." "Meet ya down at the Zebra Club." " Hey, no, man, no." "Listen." " Remember the Zebra Club outside of Bragg?" "I'll meet you there." " Listen." "Out by the old concrete plant." " I'll meet ya there and we'll drink 'em blind." "I'll take care of these guys." "I'm gonna meet ya at the Zebra Club." "Okay?" "The Zebra Club, man." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey!" "Hey, David." "You got the brains, man." "What are we gonna do?" "The goddamn bug." "I got the goddamn bug!" "[Men Chattering]" "[Man] Hit him!" "He's a crazy son of a bitch, ain't he?" "[Clank] Watch your asses, you chickenshits in those white suits!" "Where the hell's he at?" "[Clank] I'm gonna say hello to these goddamn white uniforms." " [Man] Spread out, goddamn it!" " [Gunfire]" "Where are you going?" "Keep your eyes open." "There he is!" "[Gunfire Continues]" "[Men Chattering]" "[Man] Hold your fire!" "Hold your fire!" "Hold your fire until you can see him!" "[Men Chattering]" "[Man #2] I'm staying right here." "I'm not gonna move." "Stay low!" "Stay low." "That son of a bitch can sure see us, man." "All right, let's move in slow." "[Gunfire]" "Fire!" "Fire!" "Fire!" "I can't see a thing." "Am I moving'?" "Move in." "Stick to your right." "Stay low, you guys." "Stay low." "It's starting to come over the railing." "[Sighs]" "[Leaves Rustle]" "[Clicks]" "Hey, buddy, looks like it won't work." "Out of ammunition, man." "Son of a bitch!" "Won't work, right?" "[Clicks]" "It's your ass, man." "Just sit there and sweat it, man." "We're gonna do us some drinkin'." "[Gunshot]" "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Whoa." "Hold it." "Am I going blind, or is this configuration smaller than it was?" "Hmm?" "Smaller?" "I don't know what it is you're looking for." "[Scoffs]" "Sure." "What's the combination for this stuff?" "Uh, 44 and 23." "Ink up another slide." "The same thing." "A million to one we'd find it." "But this is it." "I'm sure of it." "Goddamn it, this is it!" "Give me Dietrich." "[Man On Speaker] Uh, yes, we'll have to check your" "I know." "I know." "The voiceprint." "Are you recording?" "One minute, sir." "[Watts] Come on." "Oh, Christ." "[Bangs Mouthpiece]" "Well!" "[Man On Speaker] Recording, sir." "Watts, Dr. Elston." "Special unit three, seven, four, three, two, seven." "Code name:" "Trixie." "Section:" "Research and Development." "We have that, sir, and we'll put it right through." "Hustle, will you." "It is bigger here!" "It's bigger than all the other individual samples." "Goddamn it, woman, this is it!" "This is it!" "We gotta get this stuff off to Dietrich." "I don't understand the significance- You don't have to understand." " Just have faith." " If you were to explain it to me, sir, I could be of more help." "Get me Peckem." "Uh, your line is hooked into Central on that voiceprint check, sir." "Oh, I asked him for another line!" "We can cancel that, sir, and make this new- [Watts] Listen." " Yes, sir." " When you get me Dietrich, can you put it through to me at Peckem's headquarters?" "Yes, I think- Yes, sir, we can do that." "Okay, then do it." "I'm going over there right now." "If anything comes, hold it." "I'll be there in two minutes." "This is very urgent." "Yes, sir." "Will do." "Watch those slides." "And call me if anything different happens." "Yes, but what am I looking for, sir?" "[All Chattering, Shouting]" " Hold it there." " Wait." "Listen to me." "Listen to me!" "Hold on there." "Will you listen to me?" "I'm Dr. Watts!" "I'm a scientist!" "I'm with the team!" "I've got a tube of Trixie here!" " [Mutters]" " Will you listen to me!" "I'm working on the virus!" "Will you listen to me!" "This is a mistake!" "Will you shut" "Please, God, I will" "They've got a voiceprint on me!" "I don't need a backup!" "This is a mistake!" "[All Chattering, Shouting]" "Will you shut up!" "Let me go!" "Look at that!" "I see" "[Gunfire]" "[Screaming]" "[Screaming Continues]" "[Birds Twittering]" "It's gotta be the perimeter." "You gotta remember to do exactly what I tell you." "Promise, no matter what." "I promise, David." " You okay?" " I'm fine, and ready." "I'm fine, David, really." "I want to rest somewhere." "Now listen to me." "They're gonna be comin' through here." "If they don't see us, they'll pass us by." "And we'll be on the outside, huh?" "We'll be out." "How long will I be alone?" " Not long." " It's the only thing that scares me." "Why can't you come in with me?" "I can't place the blocks from the inside." " David, where will you be?" " I'll hide up in the tower." "You're gonna hear them come through." "They'll probably search the grounds." "You just be real quiet until they pass by." " And I'll come back to get you." " They'll never find me." "[Laughs] They'll never- They will never find us." "Us?" "David, they might find you." "No, no." "I can hide." "They'll never find either of us." " But what if they do?" " They won't." "They won't." "Now listen to me." "After you hear them pass, you be real quiet." "And after they leave and they go far away," "I'll come back to get ya." "If I don't come back to get ya, you wait a long time, and then you leave by yourself." "Oh, no." "No, David." "I can't go anywhere without you." " Now, don't worry." "I'll" " I'll meet ya." " Where?" "I'll meet ya at- The Zebra Club." " I remembered, David." "I remembered." " Oh, no." "No, not at the Zebra Club." "I'll meet ya at, uh" "I'll meet you at your mother's house." "Your mother's house in Danville." "That's a good idea." "Okay, now if I don't come back, you leave by yourself and you go to your mother's house." "You take care of yourself, hmm." "Be quiet and don't move." "That goes for both of you." "I love you, Judy." " What?" " I love you." "David, I can't hear you." "David, I can't hear you." "[Crying]" "I love you." "David, what are we gonna call our baby?" "[Laughs]" "I think it's a boy." "It'd like a boy." "Our baby, David." "[Chuckles]" "[Men Chattering]" "[Chattering Continues]" "You gotta go around and look on the other side." "Move it!" "I see your lights." "All right." "Give us an aerial flare." "We gotta knock those blocks down." "Good place to hide among those blocks." "[Men Chattering]" " Give a look into one of those things." " [Chattering Continues]" "Somebody check out the building." "Two men, check out the building." "Gotta work in pairs." "We gotta get in there." "[Clangs]" " [Man] Come on." "Let's get out of here." " Better check up in the tower here." " Watch out for crazies!" "There's crazies in there." " Shut up." " What's up?" "You see something?" " I don't know." "Come on." "Let's go." "Come on." " Hey, man, what the hell are you doing?" " Hold on." "I'm coming." "Hey, you all right?" "Hey!" "Hey, what's the matter, buddy?" "Nothin'." "I'm comin' down." "Hey, man, it's scary enough around here." "Why didn't you answer me?" "I'll be right there!" "I'm takin' a piss!" "Aw, kiss my ass." "Takin' a piss." "What the hell does that mean, "takin' a piss"?" "Hey, uh, how far out from Cairo?" "[David] Don't know." " [Laughs]" " Hey, come on." "It's spooky around here." "We'll never find the other guys if we don't leave now." "Come on." "[David] All right, I'm comin' down!" "[Laughs]" "Okay!" "Hold it." "Be quiet." "Oh, David." "There's something in there." "Sounds like a little kid." "Hey, it's a broad." "[Groans]" "David?" "It's all right, baby, it's me." "David?" "It's all right, baby." "No!" "No!" "It's all right!" "It's all right, Judy." "No!" "No!" "Judy." "Judy, it's all right!" "It's me!" "Judy!" "Judy, it's me!" "David?" "Oh, David." "[People Shouting]" "[Gunfire]" " Hey, it's all right." "We're not army!" " [Shouting]" "Stop!" "Hey, stop shooting!" "We're not army!" " [Gunfire Continues]" " Please!" "We're not" "[Gunfire Continues]" "[Moans]" "Hey, Coach." "I didn't know it was you." "[Grunts]" " Hey, Coach, who's she?" " Baby." "David, it hurts." "[Crying]" "I know, baby." "I know." "[Moans]" "He's kicking." "No." "He's just sleeping." "All right, boy, let's go." "Come on." "Let's go." "Oh, hurry." "You decide what you want to name him." "[Moans]" "I think" "I think we'd better call him David." "Judy?" "[Peckem's Voice] Right on the money as far as the, uh, census info is concerned." "3,613 total population." "Twenty- Twenty-one hundred survivors." "If you want to call them survivors." "[Brubaker] Uh, I read you, Chris." "That's a fine job." "I hate to drop this on you, but, uh, Chris, we're taking you out." "We're sending you into Louisville." "Louisville?" "Now we don't want to hit the panic button, Chris, but we have reports of symptoms." "We've always considered the possibility of Trixie being carried out before you got your lines up." "[Mutters] We doubt it, frankly, Chris, but, uh, we want you in there to check the situation over just in case." "If it does break out, you'll be much better prepared, Chris." "[Chuckles] You, uh" " You have one under your belt now." "Yes, sir." "You're the only one to send in there." "The state police have blocked the roads and closed the airports." "You're doing a great job." "Hang in there." "You've got transport arranged." "You'll have to go through the medical before you leave the area." "We don't want you carrying Trixie out." "No, sir." "[Chattering, Shouting]" "Put your hands on your head, Colonel, please." "Breathe through your mouth." "[People Continue Chattering, Shouting]" "Colonel Peckem, sir, we can sign you out." "Hear anything from Dietrich?" "They're sending in a new man from Trixie." "He should be here tomorrow." "If we only knew what Watts was working on." "Our boys have checked the slides he left in his microscope, but we can't make heads nor tails out of it." "He was onto something." "We'll dope it out..." "sooner or later." "[Scoffs] Sooner or later." "Understand they found a rhesus monkey at Dietrich- immune." "Sooner or later, we'll find a human." "Sooner or later." " Want an immunity check on this one, Doctor?" " Are you kidding me, soldier?" "[Man's Voice] I see no way out of this." "There's never been- There's never been a Trixie before." "In admission, there's nothing about it." "And I'm concerned- damn concerned." "I don't know what you have- How you feel about it." "[Man #2] I simply said repeatedly- Accusations and blame are not gonna help anything."
