Previously on The Hot Zone...

NANCY: You know how many people
would die on this planet

-if the leftovers of this
freezer ever got released?
-All of us?

Well, hello, Monkey O53.

The cells I saw in that culture

weren't just dead,
they were exploded.

There's only a few things in
the world that could do this.

A virus like you're suggesting

just appears out of nowhere
on U.S. soil?

Well, there's a first time
for everything.

JERRY:
Sorry, but why does
it have to be you?

-Someone else can do that.
-Peter's convinced

I'm wrong,
and the colonel thinks

that it's too improbable,
so who else is there?

Don't put too much stock
in Nancy's paranoia.

Her mentor is, like,
a pathogen-chasing whack job.

This guy went off the deep end.

Kind of always looking
for the big one.

-Ebola Zaire.
-It can't be Ebola.

NANCY:
Anyone whose suit
is compromised

will be moved to the Slammer
for three weeks.

Ebola spreads easily
through caretakers...

anyone handling blood,
feces, vomit.

How many workers in your
facility fit that description?

You need to let me
get in there today,

make sure that it's contained
and that

it doesn't spread
to the other primates.

NANCY'S FATHER:
I'm so proud of you.

Put up a fight
till I get back, okay?

Same for you.

-I found a sick monkey
in another cell.
-What?

Evacuate the hallway!
I'm Colonel Jaax, U.S. Army.

You need to get out of here.

RHODES:
Travis Rhodes, CDC.

I'll be taking it from here.

This isn't a pissing contest.

Don't know what happened
with you two.

But I can't afford to let it
influence what I do now.

RHODES:
You have no idea
what you're getting into.

We could be the next victims.

NANCY:
Like it or not,
the virus is here.

We are facing an enemy
that can devastate a city.

And you're what's standing
between it

and the civilians outside
those doors.

CARTER:
It's in that building.

-It's learning; it's evolved.
-NANCY: Right.

Your elusive super Ebola.

CARTER:
There will be super Ebola.

It will wipe us out

if we don't get ahead of it.

-(monkey screeching)
-(shouts)

-ERICSON: Jerry!
-NANCY: What's going on?

Colonel's gone down, ma'am.

*

Jerry, can you hear me?

Hi.

You shouldn't be here.

The team's exhausted.

There's no other backup.

I should've been out hours ago.

Jerry.

Jerry, look at me.

Honey. Look.

ERICSON:
Colonel. What do we do now?

We can't call it off, can we?

MEDIC:
You can ride with us
to the hospital.

(engine starting)

NANCY:
Tell the team I'm coming in.

ERICSON:
Yes, ma'am.

Take good care of him.

Has anyone seen Carter?

I saw him heading down
the back hall a while ago.

You're doing the cuts now?

Dr. Carter said we were capable.

I've had two years'
vet training.

-My hands feel wet.
-But you know that they're clean

and safe inside those gloves,
right?

-Do you ever get used to that?
-Not really.

(beeping)

Clean work.

Uh... something's happening.

Uh, what's, uh...?

It's deflating, I can't breathe.

Give me your
extra battery pack, now!

-I-I forgot to grab a backup.
-Here. Use mine.

They're different. (groans)

Damn. Keep looking at me.

-I need an extra pack
in dissecting!
-Oh, my God.

Get someone on the P.A. system.

ERICSON:
We're running out of sedative.

-267?
-Yes, sir.

(monkey squealing)

Got him.

-ERICSON: Almost there.
-(whining)

MAN (over P.A.):
Any team member,
we need a BP-15 battery

in dissecting now.

ERICSON:
You heard him, let's go.

-NANCY: Look at me. Look at me.
-(panting)

I want you to follow
my breathing.

Do what I do.
Look at me.

Not deep breaths.
In. Out. That's it.

You want to save all that air
that's in there.

No, no, no. I have to get out,
I have to get out!

-No. N-N-N-No.
-I got one, here it is.

-I got you, I got you. Okay.
-I got to get out!

-Okay. It's on.
-(beeps)

Just breathe. Relax.

You're okay.

I thought I grabbed
the right one.

I just, I...

NANCY:
Just breathe through it.

I want you to decon out.

ASH:
Uh, ma'am?

I don't think that's
a good idea.

We got company.

You've got to be kidding.

*

(indistinct P.A. announcement)

(coughing, wheezing)

This isn't right.

I'm phoning her.

(panting)

No.

She's got a job to do.

(sighs)

The two of you...

(wheezing)

I can't decon out.

-I'm shorthanded as it is.
-MAN: Okay, okay.

Well, how soon can you get here?

With this weather, 20 minutes.

Thanks.

Keep the line moving.

I'm gonna go track down Carter.

ASH:
Yes, ma'am.

Carter?

*

You're gonna tear your suit.
What the hell are you doing?

The monkeys you brought
to Hazleton

-came from this freezer.
-We'll get to them.

Right now, I need you
to be the expert I brought in

to make sure my soldiers
are doing things correctly.

-We've got a bigger problem.
-A bigger problem

than a team losing their leader?

With Jerry down they need us.

-What?
-You didn't know?

-Is he okay?
-They don't know yet.

-I haven't been gone that long.
-You've been gone

-from your station for hours.
-No, listen to me.

How many monkeys did you put in
your trunk?

Four. Why?

There should have been nine
in the freezer.

There's only eight.

The manifest
from the Philippines

said there was 94 animals

taken off the plane at Dulles.

Only 93 arrived here.

-So you're saying
a monkey disappeared?
-Between Dulles

and this hellhole.
So where is it?

There could be
a monkey out there spreading

a mutating virus across
the city.

NANCY:
Once the press leaves,
I want you to decon out.

-Yeah, I'll need some backup.
-The Army

has no jurisdiction outside
this facility.

You know who does.

The guy hates my guts.

I'm never gonna convince him
to help.

You need to bury
whatever happened

between you two, Carter.

You've got no choice.

BOSA:
Listen.

They are all gone.

I don't know why we're here.

We should hear the monkeys.

But we hear nothing.

A whole family of them, dead.

Our spirit would not curse
the animals.

As you said, my village has
a disease of the body.

Yeah. That's right.

Good.

Now, Bosa,
you can help me save...

You cannot stop it.

It's wiser than you or me.

You have made difficult choices.

You have forced people apart
to save other people.

Our ancestors
have been doing this

for generations
to keep people away

-from the disease.
-Yeah, uh, exactly.

And with your help,
we will be able

-to save the rest of...
-Ah, I see now,

we cannot stop this.

Keep people apart?

It's not human nature.

So we wait.

Some will leave us...

but some will stay.

Someone will always survive.

That's why we are still here.

Someone always survives.

(indistinct chatter, crying)

RHODES:
I've never seen
anything like this.

It's horrible.

-Where's Carter?
-He said he'd meet us here

for the chopper.

It was supposed to be here
an hour ago.

-Chopper's late. You're late.
-It's not coming.

I called it off
for a few more days.

You did what?
Are you crazy?

I don't know
how I didn't see it.

-Bosa opened my eyes.
-You're the one who said
faith healers

-are just superstitious...
-'Cause I didn't see the virus
for what it is.

He does. Now, there's
very little we can do

to stop this thing,
but someone has to survive it.

We need to wait
until someone pulls through it.

And who knows
how long that will be?

You've let this place
get to you.

We need to get back,
find a way to stop this

from ever happening again.

We already have
the blood samples.

All that will do
is help us identify it.

There must be a survivor.

They will have antibodies
in their plasma.

It's the only chance of a cure.

You're gonna get us all killed!

Hi.

-Can I help you with something?
-Depends.

-Who are you?
-I'm the supervisor here.

My night guard called me,
woke me up and told me

there was somebody
snooping around.

You know, there's been a lot
of break-ins around here lately,

if you're looking
for some real news.

Neighbors say the real news
is right here.

Do you have some kind
of outbreak?

-What gave you that idea?
-Eyewitness accounts

of people in hazmat suits
climbing around the roof today.

I was...

trying to keep it quiet
for my workers.

We've got leaks in the roof,
and the tiles are asbestos.

We brought a special team in.

I had them working odd hours,

'cause I didn't want anybody
freaking out.

You really expect me
to buy that, man?

All right.

Fine.

We did have an outbreak.

Simian hemorrhagic fever.
It's not our first time,

and it's not gonna be our last,
and it's not pretty.

By all means, I can show you
what ten dead monkeys look like.

It's pretty bloody.

Which you eventually
get used to,

but the stench...

With all the feces
and the blood and...

the rotting fur...

I... think I should probably
warn you about that part.

And I'm not sure...

how much of that
you can show on TV.

(truck engine starting)

ASH:
We're good. They're leaving.

NANCY:
Listen up. The press is gone.

We can start
rotating breaks now.

Resume your stations.

Keep an eye on your buddy.

You stop and rest
before you get tired.

How many monkeys we have left?

-About 300, ma'am.
-Let's finish this.

And then we're all
going home tomorrow.

All of us.

*

TUCKER:
I'd like an update on,
uh, one of my men, Jerry Jaax.

He's lost a lot of fluid.

About ten pounds.

He arrived severely dehydrated.

Yeah, I want to see him.

Yeah, this'll work.

(quietly):
Ah, it's freezing.

Yeah.

(urinating)

Oh, my God.

-Look.
-Ah, yeah, I see it.

Wait-wait. There's more.

Hey, who would dump
syringes here?

Oh, my God.

Colonel Jaax!

There's some sort
of problem outside.

They look like
they've been here a while.

At first we thought
maybe someone

was shooting up ketamine
or something, but...

NANCY:
I think maybe someone
just missed the dumpster.

It's okay.
Just stay right there.

-Don't hurt me.
-No, no. I'm not gonna hurt you.

Look, look, look.

See? I'm not gonna hurt you.

I need you to just stand
very, very still...

and put your arms out,
like an airplane.

Yeah. Good job.

Okay.

Good. Now drop that needle.

There you go.

You're very good at this.
What's your name?

-Bobby.
-Okay, Bobby, I'm gonna come in,

and I'm going to...
lift you up and blast you off

like a rocket, okay?

So don't move
till I come and get you.

Okay.

One, two, three,

liftoff!

Good job, Bobby!

Good job.

Good job, Bobby.

DEPUTY SECRETARY: So this could
be spreading to civilians.

Six million people
in the Washington, D.C.

metropolitan area.

You can't pick up a phone?

Well... I have been
in communication

with the necessary
agencies, but...

I didn't feel there was a need
to sound an alarm.

Not at this time.

Are you not responsible
for the treatment

of four individuals
who have tested positive

for Ebola hemorrhagic fever?

RHODES:
Uh... uh, well...

yes and no, sir.

-Well, which is it?
-Ebola Zaire.

We're not sure
if that is what it is yet.

This could be a new strain.

If I could redirect
your attention...

Is there a cure, Dr. Rhodes?

Any kind of treatment?

No.

And now you're telling me

the CDC hasn't quarantined
every single person

within a mile of this thing?

We've taken precautions.

But whatever virus we have
has produced nothing more

than a mild fever and vomiting.

But if we activate a Regional
Disaster Response Team...

(chuckles softly)

...you're talking about
a multiagency coalition

under the command
of a three-star general.

Local military, FEMA,
emergency response units--

no one's used to talking
across channels.

You haven't seen a Charlie
Foxtrot like this would be.

We would have to isolate

and evacuate the president,

the VP, and safeguard
all essential personnel.

Anyone who could flee
the city, would,

leaving only our most
vulnerable populations:

hospitals, nursing homes.

Then you have to think
about the supermarkets.

Food supplies dwindle fast.

We could be looking
at widespread looting and chaos.

Now we're talking martial law.

So before all of that
gets triggered over a fever,

I would like to wait
one more day.

Just to be sure of what
we're really dealing with.

Fine. But if one more person
tests positive,

we will enact
a full-scale response.

*

Did they tear you a new one?

Tarnish that reputation
of yours?

A reputation is what allows you

to be taken seriously
in the world.

It doesn't help when they
think you're a nutjob.

You earned your stripes
as a reckless nutjob

without any help from me.

There's a monkey missing.

Blood drawn?

Yep. He's ready
for the great beyond.

You okay?

Only a few rooms left, right?

(chuckles)

ASH:
Hey, Reese,
I need some help in Cell J.

Yeah, on my way.

MAN:
Uh, we usually
get rid of the sick ones.

The one you were asking about
was in bad shape.

That's why it was removed
from the shipment?

-How'd the monkey look?
-Eh.

Something in the eyes, I guess.

-The eyes?
-Yeah, they were red.

The mouth, too.
Like its gums were bleeding.

And how did you dispose of it?

Same way we did all the others.

-What others?
-Uh...

about a dozen died
in transit from Manila.

Not unusual to lose one or two.

The flights are long.
Care's not great.

But it's-it's okay, you know?

We got the new shipment in
to replace them.

-What new shipment?
-From Manila.

A few days ago. Company's
backlogged or something.

-They can't pick them up
for some reason.
-And they're headed to Reston?

Uh, about half.
Same as the first shipment.

-The rest are going to Texas.
-Texas?

Yeah, there's a research
facility that's expecting them.

CARTER:
Where are the monkeys now?
We need to stop them.

*

We may need to call in more
backup to lock this place down.

Let's see what
we're dealing with.

(sighs)
Okay, I'm back, little guy.

-(screeching)
-(screaming): Help!

Oh, my God! Oh!

-I can't see! (screams)
-(monkey screeching)

-I can't... (screaming)
-Reese, hold still!

-Oh, God! God!
-(screeching)

REESE:
I can't see!

-I got it. Hold her steady.
-Oh, my God.

-Stay calm. We got it.
-Okay.

(Reese shouting)

(panting heavily)
Is it torn?

Am I infected?

(panting heavily)

No tears. No tears.

Good work, Lieutenant.
Good work.

Good work.

Even breaths.

Good. Good.

(panting heavily)

(fire rumbling)

All right, team,
that's the last one. Good work.

Let's begin cleanup protocol.

Remember what the colonel said.

Every surface gets wiped.

Protective suits.

The next few days, this'll be
the only place on earth

that has nothing living
inside of it.

And then a spore, a germ...

something will find its way
back inside.

(sighs)

I can't tell you how impressed
I am by all of you.

And truly grateful.

The whole world should know

that you put your lives
on the line in there.

But I'm afraid no one
will ever know what you did.

Well, you will.

-All right.
-All right.

-(indistinct chatter)
-Yeah, we'll see you there.

-I'm driving.
-(indistinct chatter)

-Want to ride with us?
-Yeah.

All right, load up.

What's wrong?

Jerry?

(voice breaking):
My dad... he's gone.

(sighs)

(cries, sniffles)

(sighs)

-Get a good seal.
-Back side.
-Got it.

Good to go, and you can handle
the cases on the left.

-Ready?
-Sir.

All right, copy that.

CARTER:
Well, we got the sick ones out
just in time.

That was close.

Couple more hours,

and they'd have been
on their way across country.

Who knows where the virus
could have spread from there.

I hate to admit it, but...

you were right.

Everyone else missed this.

You saw it.

There's been plenty of times
I didn't find anything.

Yeah, but you keep looking.

I may not agree
with your decisions, but...

I've always respected that.

Your... tenacity.

Bullheadedness?

You found your monster
this time.

I still think
I'm thousands of miles away

from finding any real answers.

Where has it been hiding
all this time?

Where did it originate?

(insects trilling)

(door creaks open)

Bosa?

We found a survivor.

A young girl.

Her fever's coming down.

Will you use her blood?

Yes. We will.

Give her antibodies to others,

maybe find a cure.

(sighs)

My daughter--

she refuses
to say goodbye to me.

But I'm grateful.

I do not think I could bear it.

-How are you feeling?
-(inhales sharply)

My body... (breath quivers)

does not feel like it's mine.
(groans)

I think perhaps

it never was.

What do you believe?

I'm not a philosopher.

My friend, at the end,
we are all philosophers.

(inhales sharply)

You must listen.

I do not have long.

Men, women,

children... co...

They will come, Carter,

from every village,

more than you can count.

To pay their respects.

They will expect
to touch this body.

They take disease back
to their villages.

I can talk to them,

explain how a virus spreads.

If you believe...

your words,
the words of a stranger,

will keep people
from following their tradition,

you have learned nothing
in Africa.

Well, maybe you could warn them.

There is not time.

You must help me.

You have medicine, yes?

Our medicine's not working.

It is not to cure me.

The message has already spread

that I am sick.

If we wait for me to die,

the people will be here by then.

(sniffles)

I will have...

no one to die

because of me.

No, I'm sorry. I can't.

(crying):
There's no one else.

You and I...

we will end this together.

Please, my friend.
(groans)

*

I...

I can't...

It would have meant something
to her...

that someone was there.

That someone was with her boy
till the very end.

(sighs)

I, um...
I need the hydrocodone.

There's, uh,
three vials in my bag.

I checked your bag.
It's all gone.

(villagers shouting in Lingala)

(shouting)

*

(woman wailing)

What did you do?

I made rounds this afternoon.

Bosa wasn't that far gone.

Carter?

(villagers continue shouting)

We should go.

What did you drag me into?

Take the girl
who survived to Kinshasa.

Collect her plasma,

pull the antibodies,
and go home.

Let's go.

Come on.

It wasn't your place!

Not to take a life!

He was already lost.

You know that.

He was in pain.

He made the choice.

I won't cover this up for you!

You'll have to answer for it!

(shouting)

CHAIRMAN:
So, no one died.

NANCY:
That's correct, Mr. Chairman.

But four people tested positive
for the Ebola virus.

And 172 people were tested
and came up negative.

Is that right?

CARTER:
An employee

at an international airport
tested

positive for Ebola antibodies,

for God's sake.

The man was asymptomatic.

And even the Hazleton employees

who exhibited fever,

et cetera,
most likely just had the flu,

not Ebola Zaire.

This strain burns
through monkeys,

but it hasn't been fatal
to humans.

But if it had been Ebola Zaire,

it could have killed
countless people in D.C.,

hitched a ride on our highways,

and landed in neighborhoods
all across the states.

CARTER:
Looking at Reston

as some sort of failure
on the part of the virus

ignores the extraordinary leap
the virus has made.

Only an idiot would think
that this fight is over.

Ebola is evolving
and strengthening

-while we sit here and...
-Dr. Carter,

I think we can all agree
that we dodged a bullet here.

If there are
no further questions...

(quiet chatter)

We didn't dodge a bullet.

We didn't dodge a bullet.

The bullet... hit us.

CHAIRMAN (quietly):
I think we're set.

Let's reconvene next week.

I think we should hear
what they have to say.

This strain is so similar
to Ebola Zaire.

A small change
we don't understand

in a genetic code
we can't comprehend--

it's maybe all that saved us.

But we won't be that lucky
forever.

And you know who gets it first?

Caregivers.

A nurse spreads it
from one patient to the next.

And when she falls ill,

her husband or her daughter
tends to her.

The Ebola virus spreads

when we show each other love,

kindness, affection.

When we're most human.

We have to stop reacting
to virus outbreaks

after they flare up
and instead plan for it,

because there will be
another Ebola outbreak

and we are not prepared.

JERRY:
Protocols have
to be put in place

using the procedures
we tested at Reston.

And it's no secret
the CDC needs more funding

for research and development.

We do need
stronger surveillance networks,

and we need to partner

with other countries
around the world

to stay in front
of another outbreak.

NANCY:
This outbreak was a warning.

We can choose to ignore it

or we can face the future
with eyes wide open.

My question to you...

There is a deadly pathogen
coming for us.

What are we gonna do about it?

Nice work in there.

You think it's enough?

Has to be.

We need to be everywhere
on the front lines,

protecting ourselves.

You know one of the problems

with having
such a smart student?

There comes a day

when the teacher realizes
he's got nothing left to give.

You know how that makes me feel?

Proud?

Useless.

(laughs)

I'm going back to Africa.

These monkeys came
from the Philippines.

Ebola doesn't.

It has to have originated
in Africa.

I guess you were never really
cut out for a classroom, Carter.

Or walls, in general.

(chuckles)

Well, somebody's got to find
the source of this strain.

So you're back in the game.

You pulled me off the bench.

What about you?

(sighs)
I'm going home.

*

Hey.

Hey. Uh,
can I show you something?

-Sure.
-Uh,

I've been making some notes
and doing some sketches.

Start looking at this place
a little differently

when you think
it might be the last place

you're ever gonna see.

-NANCY: This the lab?
-Yeah.

It's one we should build.

Everything I ever learned,
it's...

I put it right in there.

It's pretty genius.

And you know how much
it kills me to say that to you.

(chuckles)
Look, it'll take forever to fund

and to build,
but I figure if we start now...

yeah, we can be prepared
for the next time.

There will be a next time.

Everyone understands that,
don't they?

*

NANCY:
The Army and the CDC
have never downgraded

the status
of the Ebola Reston virus.

It remains
a Level 4 hot agent today.

The emergence of HIV, Ebola,

and any number of hot agents
appears to be

a natural consequence...

(cheering and applause)

...of humanity encroaching

on previously undisturbed
environments.

(cheering)

You might say
the Earth's immune system

has recognized the presence of
its most destructive pathogen,

humans.

Emerging viruses continue
to mutate and survive,

even when faced
with the destruction

of their natural environment.

And when they return,

they're stronger
than they were before.

*

These monkey traders,

they just dump them here?

The sick ones, yes.

Marburg, HIV, Ebola...

all mingling.

It's hell on earth
just waiting to get out.

What do you call this place?

The Isle of Plagues.

NANCY:
As we deforest
these viruses' homes,

wipe out their reservoir hosts,

they need a new one
to spill over into.

Us.

Viruses have been around
for billions of years

because they're smart.

The Ebola virus feeds,

and then it retreats back
into the shadows,

where it learns,

mutates.

Believe me when I tell you

this monster will be back again.

And we need to be ready.
