(sighs)

-(zipper closes)
-Well, if I had to guess,

I'd say it's probably
some new strain of the flu.

Look, no one would be happier
than me

to just run
into some boring old flu.

Well, maybe my mom.

But according
to this report by Ewonda,

this thing moves fast and takes
a lot of casualties with it.

Don't worry about it.

We'll get in there, get the IDC,

a fresh sample of this thing,
and get the hell out.

(engine starts)

(indistinct chatter)

(cows lowing)

(rooster crowing)

(goat bleating)

(dog barking)

(both speaking Lingala)

Time to earn your keep.

Tell him we're looking for
Dr. Ewonda at the hospital.

(speaking Lingala)

(speaking Lingala)

Okay, well, I think I know
where the hospital is.

Ask him if people
are getting sick around here.

(Rhodes speaking Lingala)

(speaking Lingala)

CARTER:
What did he say?

Look...

I learned Lingala
in a night school,

-I'm not sure...
-What the hell did he say?

He said the forest is bleeding.

*

REBECCA:
Hey, where are you going?

(quietly):
Uh, just work.

It's 5:00 in the morning.

J-Just go back to sleep.
It's fine.

(door opens)

-(sighs)
-(door closes)

(horn honking)

(tires screech)

MAN:
Hey, come on!

Look.

Pop the hood.

-What?
-Just do it.

Why?

What are you doing?

You've got engine trouble.

Be right back.

NARRATOR: When the Ebola virus
enters the body,

it targets the liver,
immune system

and endothelial cells.

It infiltrates a living cell

by fusing with
its outer membrane,

like a Trojan Horse.

Once it's penetrated
the cell's protective barrier,

the virus hijacks
the cell's machinery

to fulfill
its own selfish needs.

The first symptoms
of infection include

headache, fever and nausea.

Secondary symptoms
can include...

(horns honking)

We need to bleach everything.

-Everything.
-Okay.

I got to re-bag the monkeys.

(police siren chirping)

(horns continue honking)

*

Oh, uh, Officer,
I think I got it taken care of.

Just gonna see if it starts up.

(beeping)

PETER:
What the hell you doing?

Colonel would have your ass
if he caught you.

Didn't he restrict your access?

Wait a sec, is that...?

Well, so much for protocol.

I need to get in there.

Don't you have a rule

that you never
go in there alone?

There's a first time
for everything.

Can you just let me in?

Look, I'll take the hit.

Just... I'll tell them
I swiped your I.D.

You don't have to step foot
in there.

Come on, Peter,
just give it to me.

I'm sorry, I can't let you
do something this stupid.

Not without me.

You were right.
There weren't any contaminants.

You didn't screw up
the cultures.

(beeps, lock clicks)

Come on.

*

(whirring)

(panting quietly)

(gasps)

(shuddering)

Ebola Zaire.

How many monkeys are infected?

Six, that we know of.

And they're all dead?

Check me.

Uh...

Clear.

Nothing.
You need to alert Tucker.

(disconnects suit)

This is Jaax. I need someone
at the pass-through now.

PETER: Give me the colonel.
Highest priority.

-Then call him at home!
-(phone hangs up)

NANCY (over speaker):
Orman, copy that.

Fax it to Carter immediately.

And include

the image of the exploded cells.

(jazz music playing on radio)

NANCY:
With all due respect,

there's no way you're equipped
to stop a virus

that's never been inside
U.S. borders.

We've been in this business
for decades.

-We know what we're doing.
-Really?

Were all the infected
primates euthanized?

Workers in racal suits?

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.

You're not going anywhere
near that facility.

You stole four monkey cadavers
in the middle of the night.

-They were given to me.
-Not with my consent.

Oh, you've got
to be kidding me.

Look, I oversee that facility,

but I'm just a middle rung
on a very tall ladder here.

This is a private company
with safety regulations.

Nobody walks right in
without approval

for a site visit.

Mr. Humbolt,
does anyone here on this ladder

know the first thing
about Ebola?

It is a virus found
in monkeys in Africa.

People shouldn't eat
monkey meat.

I don't think you understand

what we're really
dealing with here.

Meat is just one means
of transmission.

Ebola spreads easily
through caretakers,

anyone handling blood, feces,
vomit, any bodily fluids.

How many workers
in your facility right now

fit that description?

This thing has had
a ten-percent survival rate.

(sighs)
This just isn't my call.

Lives are on the line here.

Your workers, they go home,
spread it to their families,

kiss their kids good night.

Suddenly, there's headaches,
hemorrhaging, cardiac arrest.

Most people crash and bleed out
within eight days.

There's no cure, no vaccine.

TUCKER:
Look...

...we know all about
a chain of command.

Now, you may not have
the authority,

but you sure as hell
have the ability

to let us in that building.

There's still one monkey left
from Cell H.

I just got a call
from the colony manager.

It's not eating.

(door opens)

-(door bangs shut)
-(monkey screeches)

*

-(answering machine beeps)
-Hey, Ben, it's Peter.

I guess your pager's
out of range.

Um, uh, we got a little bit
of a problem.

Um, just call me back at the lab
when you have a chance.

Thanks.

(buzzing)

WOMAN (over intercom):
Do you have an appointment?

Um, nope.

(buzzing, lock clunks)

(quiet chatter)

MAN:
You just take a number.

They'll use the matching one
to call you in.

Oh, thanks.

You don't want
to give your name,

just in case you test positive.

They're starting to register
anyone with it, you know?

(sighs)

I can't stand this part.

Sorry. What?

Just, all the places
your mind goes, you know,

imagining the worst.

The waiting.
(sighs)

Well, unless you have concerns
about your fiancé's fidelity,

you're not in a high-risk group.

Uh, just checking.

Everything here is
completely anonymous, right?

Yep. Doctor confidentiality
doesn't mean anything anymore.

This is the only place
you can come where your job,

the government
can't track down your status.

Perfect. Uh, I work
somewhere where I think

I might have come
into contact with...

...something.

I just need to test my blood,

or I need someone to show me
how to draw it. (chuckles)

So you don't want
to take a test?

Uh, uh, no, not for HIV.

Um, I'm a scientist, so...

Yeah, I can do the testing.

You want to take
your blood home with you?

(sighs) Uh, I...

I-I don't think you've come
to the right place.

Okay, okay, okay, look, I know
that this seems a little...

uh, weird,

but I can't have it taken
anywhere official.

So it's, like, what am I
supposed to... I mean...

I know you guys use gloves,
you know, you take precautions,

so I just thought, maybe...

I don't know, you could show me
how to draw my own blood?

What is it that you think
that you were exposed to?

Um...

nothing you test for here.

Well, the health department
usually lets us know

if there's been
some kind of outbreak...

Let's just say the
health department's kind of

out of the loop on this one.

Look, can you show me how
to take my own blood or not?

Like I said, I'm a scientist,
so it's, like,

I-I'm pretty sure I could
figure out how to...

Um...

-I...
-You know what, don't sweat it.

Um, I'll figure
something else out.

Wait, wait.

You tell anyone, I'll deny it.

Thank you.

Whatever it is you're testing,
you should know,

the first thing we tell people
is to make a list of partners

or anyone that you may have
inadvertently exposed.

They need to know so that they
don't expose other people.

Okay.

-Hon. Ben, there's no time.
-Oh, there's time.

(giggling)

-BEN: All right.
-Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nothing fancy.
Keep to the essentials.

(grunts)

Trust me.

(laughing)

(both moaning)

(children laughing)

Abort!

Okay, get behind me,
get behind me.

(shouts) Bears! (growls)

(laughing)

-(growls)
-(screaming)

Come here, come here.

(growling, laughing)

-Ebola?
-How'd you hear?

On this base? Are you kidding?

So what's the op?

Euthanize the last
infected monkey,

sterilize the room, make sure
no virus is still in there.

-T-Today?
-This afternoon.

Let me go instead.

Jerry...

I give animals hundreds
of shots every week, Nancy.

It's just one monkey.

One monkey with Ebola.

Which is why it has to be me.

They're only letting
two of us in there.

I wish you could
come in there with me.

You and I would make
a good team.

We cannot both be on the
front lines at the same time.

-We've agreed to this.
-Yes, for the kids.

If they have any questions,
don't dodge it, okay?

They're old enough.

I really, I really hate this.

You know, we both know
the person you need.

I've faxed. I've called.
He won't pick up the phone.

Well, I can't really blame him.

Guy's been ostracized
by everyone in the field.

I mean, maybe it's for the best.
If he showed up on this base,

who knows what
would happen, right?

It would just be good
to have someone who's dealt

with this thing
outside of a lab.

It's okay to be nervous.

I'll be okay.

I will.

Fort Detrick, please.

-(women singing in Lingala)
-(woman sobbing)

YOUNG CARTER: Getting ready
for a funeral procession.

The women prep the bodies.

-(laughter, chatter)
-(quietly): Here.

Here you go. One for you.

Excuse me, Sister?

Oui?

Uh, we're looking
for Dr. Ewonda.

He's not here.

Uh, when do you expect him back?

Uh, we're from
International Disease Control.

-Wade Carter.
-Trevor Rhodes.

We brought some extra supplies,
thought you could use them.

Desperately. Thank you.

Um, we need to speak to
the doctor. He sent a report.

He said there was a lot
of people sick around here.

Not here. Uh, deeper in.

Have you treated any of them?

Oh, no. When he came back,

he just described
what he had seen...

unthinkable things.

YOUNG CARTER:
Did he bring any samples?

That's what we really need.

I'm sorry. He only came back
for what few supplies

we could sacrifice and then

he went back
to the village alone.

We haven't heard from him
in weeks.

This village he went back to,
could you point it out on a map?

Uh, the villages
aren't very well marked.

Here. We are here.

You can get to the village
by heading upriver to Yakoma,

north of here, by Abumonbazi.

-Okay. Thank you, Sister.
-Mm.

Thank you.

Which river is it?

The Ebola River.

Have you seen Peter?

He left a message.
He wanted to talk to me.

No, ma'am,
but front gate called.

Wade Carter's here to see you.

You were right.

Every semester, you would start
class with one phrase,

"The Monster will return."

Here it is, on our doorstep.

-I'm glad you came.
-(chuckles)

Just wish it was
for a different reason.

Why didn't you give me
a heads-up?

I wasn't sure
till I drove onto the base

if I was really gonna
go through with this.

So, Ebola Zaire,
20 miles from the Capitol.

-You ran it twice?
-Just as you taught me.

And those studies you did,
have you shown anyone?

No. Not... not everything.

I mean,
they were so many years ago,

and Gene and I never had
a chance to replicate them.

What's the contagion radius?

Right now,
it's confined to one room.

Cell H at the Reston facility.

I just need to get in there,
euthanize the infected monkey

and sterilize
so the virus doesn't spread.

Any human infections?

As far as we know,
no one's shown any symptoms.

All workers quarantined?

We don't have the authority.

(sighs)
Nothing ever changes, does it?

So we have potential exposure
risks walking around D.C.?

That's what I've been
trying to tell them.

Okay, we need to find a way
to shut that down,

and get these workers contained.
When are we heading out?

Now. I just need to talk
to Tucker first.

You haven't told anyone
you've contacted me?

They need you,
they just don't know it yet.

(scoffs)
Story of my life.

(speaking indistinctly)

NANCY:
He's hoping he doesn't have
to talk to you.

That makes two of us.

-So we're a go?
-Just for today.

We get our monkey,
wipe the place clean,

then you're back
in the penalty box.

Hell of a thank you.

Steaks are on me tonight.

(water running)

-Hey, Ben.
-Hey.

-Did you get my messages?
I paged you.
-No,

I decided to take a half day.

You know, the kids,
they wanted to stay all night,

but I forgot my solution.

Damn things are more trouble
than they're worth.

Yeah, I haven't made the switch
yet. They say it's harder

with astigmatism. Uh, look.

I wanted to talk to you about
the tests we ran last week.

Uh, what's up? Hey, did the, uh,

did the Hazleton guy freak when
he heard it was simian fever?

Actually it might...
it might be more than SHF.

You told me to smell it.

PETER:
Look, I've done it
a thousand times.

It's the most common way
to determine if it's been

-contaminated with Pseudomonas.
-Or Ebola?

There's never been a case
of Ebola here, ever.

-Oh, my God.
This can't be happening.
-Look, Ben?

Look, come here, come here.

All right.

Okay.

I freaked out
at first, too, okay?

Then I thought about it
for a second.

The virus isn't airborne, right?

There's like a 99.99999% chance

that we didn't inhale
any droplets.

-I just wanted you to hear it
from me...
-But you can't tell me

that we're 100%
in the clear, can you?

(exhales):
Well...

No, but we're gonna be fine.

What about Liz? M-My kids?

Okay, let's say that,
by some astronomical odds,

we are infected, the only way
to pass it to someone else

-is through bodily fluids.
-Oh, you mean like
kissing your wife

or having sex with her
in a tent all weekend long?

Transmitting it that quickly
after exposure

-is next to impossible.
-My kids are at school.

Ben. Ben,
we don't have it. Okay?

We don't have it.

We just need to run daily tests
on our blood

to prove that we don't have it.

It's a 21-day window.

Okay. Okay.

So, what? We just check in
with the infirmary every day?

Uh, no.
We can to do it ourselves.

We'll just, we'll do it
right here in the back room.

You haven't told anyone?

Yeah, I mean, I was going to,
but then it's like,

why get everyone all worked up

when there's virtually
zero chance that we have it?

Plus, I'm not gonna let them

throw us in the slammer
for no reason.

They'll lock us up
just as a precaution.

We have to tell them.

I don't think you get it, man.

Nobody survives 21 days
in a small, eight by eight cell.

Not without seriously losing it.

We don't have a choice, Peter.

Listen to me. Listen to me.

They will treat us like lepers.

Way, way worse than anything
you've seen with AIDS.

Depression gets so bad in there,
they sedate you

so you don't smash up
the equipment or try to escape.

It's part of the job.
We can handle it.

Uh, what about your kids?

Could your kids handle it?

Being locked away in solitary
like that? They're gonna make us

list everyone that we came
into contact with.

Look, we're gonna be fine.

You're gonna be fine.
You are fine.

We just have to keep it
between us.

Okay?

(chuckles)
Geez.

Hey.

I got them.

Dad, is, uh, everything okay?

-Yeah.
-I got a note

in the middle of trig.

Can you say "mortified"?

You know, I don't remember
ever complaining

about getting pulled out of
school in the middle of the day.

But why isn't Mom picking us up?

Mom got pulled onto a project.

That means
Dad's in charge of dinner.

So, guess what I'm thinking?

-Pizza?
-I call deep-dish.

Not feeling well, Bruce?

Just a headache.

Well, head home early
if you need to.

Ah, I'd hate to use a sick day
on a little fever.

Promised my kids a fishing trip
to the Rockies this summer.

-(chuckles)
-HUMBOLT: Frank.

Can I get the keys to Cell H?

Uh, if this is
about last night...

L-Later.

Any change with our monkey?

Still not eating.

USAMRIID confirm that it's SHF?

Or something else?

It's nothing
out of the ordinary.

Corporate just wanted me to
cross the T's and dot the I's,

so I'm gonna
inspect the cell myself.

So none of the guys

need to do their rounds
in that area tonight.

Okay.

(door closes)

HUMBOLT:
Okay. We're going in that way.

You can access Cell H
through the first room.

Employees don't have access
to that entrance.

Most of their work
is on the other side.

No one knows we're here?

(exhales)
This has to be kept quiet.

(girl screams)

(laughter)

HUMBOLT:
How long you gonna be in H?

Couple of hours.

We'll need to seal off the room
from the rest of the facility.

Is that necessary?

I've got half a dozen people
in there.

I can't have them
asking questions.

All right.

We'll be going in the back way.

There's a boiler room
that you can use.

We can suit up in there.

-Wait? Space suits?
-Racals.

Bright orange,
with the full hoods?

-No.
-Suits aren't negotiable.

Tyveks and surgical masks.

Fine. But respirators.

-I don't have respirators.
-I do.

(door opens)

These monkeys have good aim
when they spit,

and they aim for the eyes.

Wiping spit off goggles
means extra movement.

Extra risk.

Best to avert your eyes
as much as you can.

-Act respectfully.
-Got it.

Don't open the cage
unless you're confident

that I can contain
the son of a bitch.

The virus makes them lethargic.

Till you jab them with a needle.

Then they'll grab you
by the head,

wrap their tail around your neck
and attack your face.

I've missed you.

(chuckles)

NANCY:
I don't like
the feel of this place.

The whole building, it's rotten.

Because something lives here
that isn't monkeys or people.

(door creaks)

(monkey whimpering)

It's not moving.

CARTER:
This monkey's definitely sick.

(keys clinking)

Once you open the door,
I'll pin it down,

you inject it.

-Ready?
-Ready.

NANCY:
Teeth aren't filed.

(monkey shrieking)

(grunts)

CARTER:
Come on.

I'm losing him.

(shrieking)

(monkey quieting)

-Hey, honey.
-Hi, hon. How was your day?

Eh, it was good.
It was good.

Hey. Whoa.

Uh, hey, the lab was
a mess, okay?

So I'm gonna take a shower,
all right?

(door opens)

You didn't tuck the kids in.

Yeah, um, there's a flu
going around work,

and I just, I don't want
to get them sick.

Like you could expose them
to anything

those ragamuffins
in their class couldn't?

I'll take my chances.

Seriously?

That chair's been broken
for two years.

Uh, something, um,
potentially very bad

happened at work today,

and I think it's best if I just
keep a little distance

from you and the kids
right now.

Ben, what is going on?

We-we have, um, a hot agent,

a virus... called Ebola.

The thing from Africa?

It's here, in a research monkey.

But...

that's what all those labs
are for, right?

You're supposed to be
safe in there,

all suited up and everything.

That's what you told me.

I got exposed to it.

What do you mean, exposed?

It's-it's very low-risk.

If it was serious,
you'd be quarantined, right?

We didn't tell anyone.

What are you saying?

Oh, my God.

You brought it back here
to our home?

There's basically no chance
that I have it, okay?

But we need to keep this
between us.

No, Ben,
you-you have to go back.

You need to tell somebody.

First time's always rough.

Did you see its eyes?

Before today, you just saw
this thing in cells.

Now you've seen it
in a live being,

and what it can do to them.

It's a living monster.

(sighs)
Go home.

I'll see you tomorrow.

(car door opens, shuts)

(engine starts)

(door shuts)

Jamie?

Jason?

They're not here.

I, uh, took 'em
to their cousins'

for the night.

Well, that's a mutual call.

Well, you made your call,
I made mine.

With everything going on,
I get it.

-Don't you think you're...
-No, I'm not overreacting.

What was in your trunk, Nance?

I... uh...

(sighs)

I sterilized three times over.

You really think I would park
in the garage if I wasn't sure?

-You didn't even tell me.
-I was going to.

It wasn't on purpose.

It's just, everything's
been happening...

You know, I get that what you
have to do is important.

You have to protect everybody.

But all I can do is
protect the kids.

I'm gonna catch
the end of the game.

There's some, uh,
pizza in the fridge.

(sighs)

(exhales)

(monkeys chattering)

Who in the hell are you?

(knocking on door)

Hey.

I found a sick monkey
in another cell.

What?

We didn't catch it in time.

Who knows how far it's spread?

This is not good.

How'd it get there?

It's not about how. Who.

(solider shouting)

Crap.

(soldier shouting in Lingala)

(ordering in Lingala)

Uh, he wants to know
who we are.

Give him your wallet.

-(shouts)
-Okay, okay. Okay.

Up.

(sighs)

Maybe the gun wasn't
a great idea.

(soldier ordering in Lingala)

I think he's asking
who sent us.

Tell him we're doctors.

Tell him we need to go
to the village.

(speaking halting Lingala)

Huh?

(repeating phrase)

(speaking Lingala)

Tell him to move the damn rock
and take us there.

(speaking Lingala)

He says we can't take the car,
we have to walk.

(Carter groans)

(soldier ordering in Lingala)

(speaking Lingala)

*

You think those soldiers
did this?

This wasn't an act of war.

These people burned themselves
and their village

to contain this thing.

I think I found the doctor.

-What's he doing?
-CARTER: Wait, please!

Please, don't do that!

Hold on.

We need-- we need samples.
Please--

(coughing)

Take it easy.

We don't want these guy thinking
one of us has it.

Don't put your hand
near your eyes,

your nose or your mouth.

What do we do now?

If this thing is bad enough
to burn down a village...

...then it's still
out there somewhere.

And we're gonna find it.
