- In 1854, the disease cholera
broke out in London, England.

One man, a personal hero of mine,

Doctor John Snow, had a
theory that the disease

was being spread through
contaminated water.

So he made a map of the
effected neighborhoods to

chart where and how badly
people were getting sick.

He discovered that the
worst cases were all

around a water pump on Broad Street.

He removed the handle from
the pump so people could not

use it to pump the contaminated water.

And voila!

(snap)

People stopped getting sick.

And with that, the modern
science of epidemiology was born.

I suppose you're wondering
why I'm telling you this.

- Because they pay you?

- Excellent Lucas.

No.

Because this man is the poster child

for disease transmission.

(sneeze)

Marshall, you should be in
bed not running around school

or coming to class.

(bell rings)

- I don't have time to be sick.

I'm behind schedule.

- On what?

Marshall's installing
wireless network cards

into kids' computers so
they can surf the net.

- For a fee of course.

- He's not charging me
'cause we're roommates.

- I never said that.

- Well, Marshall, if
you keep running around

not only will you not be
able to finish your network,

but you're gonna make yourself sicker

and increase the chances of
sharing your germs with others.

- Isn't it nice to share?

(sneeze)

- Dr. Snow would have
a field day with you.

(upbeat music)

(sneeze)

- Marshall.

Listen to Z before you get sicker.

- Okay, Bob, go back to sleep.

(sneeze)

(bright music)

(electrical buzz)

(muffed yell)

(creaking)

- Okay, so my mom drops me
at this boarding school.

And I'm thinking it's like all
the other places I've gone.

Students.

Teachers.

Principal, you know, like normal schools.

But it's not.

Weird stuff happens here.

Really weird stuff.

And what's this guy doing here?

Something's going on
and someone's behind it.

And we're gonna get to the bottom of it.

- There's nothing wrong
at Blake Holsey High.

- What was up with you in math class?

- Yeah, you looked like you
were ready to fall asleep.

- Marshall kept me up all
night with his sneezing.

(sneeze)

- Marshall, please just go to your room.

You're gonna get us all sick.

- Oh Wheeler.

You know that wireless
network you sold me?

The one you said I would absolutely love.

I don't.

It's a piece of junk, it doesn't work.

- Well, it was working
when I gave it to you.

- Are you saying that I don't know how

to work my own computer?

I want my money back.

- Nope.

No wait.

Um, I'll fix it.

I-I will.

No, I will.

- Are you begging me?

- Yes, I'm begging.

- I like that.

(sneeze)

- Ew.

- That is it.

You're going straight to your
room and getting into bed.

- Vaughn, help me out here.

- No, I'm not touching him.

- Don't be a baby.

Just don't breathe near
him and wash your hands

and fingers once you finish touching him.

- I'll help you.

Come on Marshall.

- Okay.

You realize that's a very
inefficient surgical mask.

- But a very strong fashion statement.

- And don't sneeze on me again, Marshall.

- Yeah.

- Oh, hey Wheeler.

Be sick after you fix my computer.

- Yeah, I'll get right to it.

- What did you say?

- Bring it by by room
and I'll get right on it.

- Good.

Otherwise, I see you
suffering a big loss in sales.

Understand?

(muffled yell)

- Karin, I am shocked.

Only a 99.

Hey, there's no reason why
my office should be this hot.

(muffled sneeze)

- I'm telling you I could
store meat in my office,

it's that cold.

You have got to do something about it.

- Excuse me.

Principal Durst, did I hear
you say your office is cold?

- It's like an igloo.

Have you been working out in
your shirt and tie, again?

- I could fry an egg on my desk.

(guitar music)

- Just gimme a few hours.

I'm sure I can have it
up and running again.

It's the fourth system down.

But Tyler's spreading
the word I'm putting out

an inferior product.

If I can't get these
fixed, I'm gonna have to.

I can't say it.

- Refund people their money?

- Never use the R word in front of me.

- Make that five systems down.

(sneeze)

- Bless you.

- Can we just tell the school nurse

and ask her to bring Marshall some food?

- Marshall's not gonna get
well eating infirmary food.

- Like cafeteria food is any better.

(sneeze)

- [student] What's up with this?

- [student] Ew, gross!

- What just happened to your tray of food?

- It got blown out of my hands.

(sneeze)

- Did you just see that?

- I'm standing here, aren't I?

- Will someone tell me what's going on?

(muffled sneeze)

(door slams)

- Okay.

Who's doing that?

Come out of there.

This instant.

(sneeze)

- Ew.

Principal Durst, you got slimmed.

- We didn't do it.

- Oh?

Well then.

Who did?

- We'll get back to you.

- That was the most disgusting
thing I've ever seen.

What's going on?

- I'm not 100%.

But I have a hunch.

(scream)

- That came from upstairs.

I was wrong.

This is the most disgusting
thing I've ever seen.

Do you have a hunch about this?

- Come on.

(guitar music)

- Oh, thanks guys,

but I'm really not
feeling hungry right now.

Besides, my nose is dripping like faucet.

(muffled sneeze)

- We all felt it.

- Blake Holsey High has
caught Marshall's cold.

- We go to the only boarding school

with a hyper dimensional
vortex in the basement.

- Good point.

But how?

Most illnesses don't even jump
from one species to another.

Never mind jumping from
a person to a building.

Buildings don't catch colds.

- Look at the evidence.

Fever, chills.

- Wheezing, coughing.

- Drippy nose, watery eyes.

- Whatever symptoms Marshall
gets, the school gets.

- Wait.

- What?

- Didn't Marshall say he thought his fever

was getting worse?

- If there is a connection
between Marshall

and Blake Holsey High, what
could that mean for the school?

(rock music)

(sneeze)

(glass breaking)

(rock music)

(sneeze)

- Bad news.

Marshall's temperature is still going up.

(sneeze)

- I got this off the internet.

It's an enlarged copy of the map

that Doctor John Snow made in 1854.

He made these markings wherever
there were people sick.

As you can see he mapped what he called

a chain of infection.

- That's when he got the
idea to take the handle

off the pump so people
couldn't drink water from it.

- Exactly.

Once Doctor Snow isolated
and removed the cause

of the disease from the
system, the system recovered.

He saved thousands of lives.

(sneeze)

- Okay, let's split up.

Each one of us takes a map of the school.

Then we interview
everyone to see which part

of the school got sick.

- And when.

- And when.

And then write it all down on our map.

That should lead us to
our own contaminated pump.

- Lucas?

- I was just thinking.

You know how the school's
cold matches Marshall's cold?

(sneeze)

We all know that we can't cure a cold

but we can treat the symptoms.

We can also do things to help
our body fight the illness

which will make us better faster.

- You mean like getting plenty

of rest and taking
medicine, things like that.

- Max out your body's
ability to fight the virus.

Okay, so how about Vaughn and
I map the chain of infection.

Josie, Lucas, see if you can
make Marshall feel better.

- Professor Zachary.

(sneeze)

Professor Zachary.

I need a word.

My office.

- I know that look.

She's going to evacuate the school.

- We need more time.

- You all have your missions.

I'll stall Durst.

(sneeze)

(bubbling)

- Honestly, principal Durst,

I don't think an immediate
evacuation is called for.

- But I don't see that we have any choice.

I can't endanger the students.

- Things around here really aren't

that far outside normal parameters.

(sneeze)

- Really?

You call that normal?

(suspenseful music)

- Sick building syndrome?

- Right, SBS.

It's a very common
problem in new buildings.

- But, this building's over 150 years old.

- Yes, but when it was built it was new.

- There we go.

Down it goes.

Good, Marshall.

- No, no, no, not more soup.

I just-

Don't give me that.

I'm gonna die.

- So where was it?

(sneeze)

- Yeah, okay.

Right there.

- Poltergeist?

That's your other theory?

That's science fiction.

- Which has the word science in it.

Look, all I'm saying is

that I'm sure there's
going to be a perfectly

reasonable explanation once
we complete our investigation.

(sneeze)

- You've got one hour.

After that I have no other
choice but to begin evacuation.

- There's a cluster of events
around the second floor.

Cold and hot rooms, slime, strange noises

and other students are
starting to get sick.

- Plus a number of their
computers stopped working all

within a few minutes of each other.

- Computers?

- Now by comparing the
reported incidents, we found

that everything started around
Lucas and Marshall's room

and spread outwards to
the rest of the school.

- That makes Lucas and
Marshall's room ground zero.

Something in that room is
like Doctor Snow's water pump.

- Okay, it's here!

Somewhere.

- What?

- The pump.

The thing that's making the school sick.

- Okay, Marshall, Lucas, have
either of you noticed anything

strange in here over the past few days?

You know, anything that
looked like it was sick?

- Nothing.

I mean, aside from Marshall.

I've been spending a lot
of time in here working

on the wireless network but
I have a noticed anything.

- Did you work on the
network while you were sick?

- Maybe.

- You were working on it last night.

- I guess.

- Is that the network server?

- Yeah, but step aside a second Marshall.

- What are you gonna do to it?

- Oh, nasty.

- Gross.

- Welcome to the hot zone.

- You didn't notice that?

- It wasn't like that yesterday!

- How did it get into the whole school?

- Excellent question Vaughn.

The server's our pump, so we
need to find the pump handle.

- The thing that's taking the illness

from the computer and
pumping it into the school.

- Yeah.

- Okay everyone, we don't know
what we're dealing with here.

So proper disease prevention
protocol from this point on.

(sneeze)

- That came from the basement.

- Okay.

Karin, Vaughn, you come with
me to check out the basement.

Josie, Lucas, go down to
the lab, get rubber gloves

and anything else you think
you need to protect yourself

and start checking out that server.

- You're loving this, aren't you?

- I'm in my happy place.

Let's move.

(upbeat music)

- Does that look normal?

(sneeze)

- Temperature.

Uh, this is way too high.

If the pressure gauge goes red,

the whole furnace is going to blow.

(upbeat music)

- We don't have much time.

- Are you sure this is going to work?

- Unplugging this should disconnect it

from the chain of infection.

- But, uh, after things go back to normal

I can plug the server back in, right?

Guys, come on!

This is my business
we're talking about here.

- Get a grip, Marshall.

You're making people sick.

- That should do it.

- Vaughn, come in Vaughn.

We did it.

How's it going down there?

- No good, the pressure is still rising.

- I don't understand.

It's unplugged.

That should have disconnected
it from the school.

- That's not what's doing it.

The server's got its own backup battery.

It must still be, be
transmitting the infection

like a computer virus
over the wireless network

I installed in the school.

You were right.

I should have been more
careful about my cold.

- So what do we do now?

- If we sterilize the
server would that stop

the disease from spreading?

- Sterilization is exactly
what Doctor Snow tried

to do to the contaminated water.

He just didn't have the
resources to accomplish it

as well as he wanted.

- What resources?

- Well, things like filters, chemicals,

even high heat would've worked.

- Heat!

- Professor, clear path for us.

- Got it.

- I know what you're thinking.

I'm begging you.

I could still fix this.

- If I felt we could save it,

we would never do what we're about to do.

Dirty server coming through!

(sneeze)

- Vaughn, open the furnace door.

(sneeze)

- Stand back Vaughn!

- Okay, let's do it.

- Clear.

(sneeze)

(door clanks)

- It worked!

(cheering)

- Dr. Snow would've been proud!

- We should go check on
Marshall, see how he's doing.

- Well I'm guessing if
the school's doing better,

Marshall's getting better too.

(guitar music)

- Oh, look at him, he's pathetic.

- [Student] Well, well, well.

- [Student] Wow.

- Hey Marshall, you
almost done cleaning up

the second floor?

- Next time Durst gives me a choice

between mopping up goo
and a month of detention,

I'm taking the detention.

- Oh, and by the way

I'm still waiting for my
refund on the wireless network.

- Yeah, sure.

Here you go.

- Nice.

- Wheeler.

(snaps)

Refund please.

(sneeze)

- Bless you.

(cough)
