There's another hundred
when you get back tomorrow.

Not tomorrow.

Coffee harvest.

I've got to transport

-my boss to the fields.
-Then when?

Three days.

That's a good sign.

No. No need for masks.

They have to trust us.

You're on.

What?

I heard you with the guards
back there.

The NGOs trained you well.

(scoffs) Not sure a six-week
crash course is gonna cut it.

(quietly): Bend down.
Put your hands together.

(Young Melinda speaking Lingala)

(indistinct chatter,
goats bleating)

*

RHODES:
You see anyone who's pregnant?

(quiet chatter in Lingala)

(speaking Lingala)

They want us to share a drink?

It's their custom,
we need to respect it.

RHODES:
One of them could have it.

*

We want access to the woman,
we drink.

(whispers in Lingala)

*

NANCY:
Are you married?

No way. (chuckles)

You got a girlfriend, Ash?

Um... (chuckles) I don't know.

A couple, I guess. (chuckles)

Uh, why-why's it matter?

We'll get to that.

-And you're 22 years old?
-Yep.

CARTER:
Any problem with tight spaces?

Claustrophobia? Panic attacks?

Uh... I don't think so.

CARTER:
What about family?

Next of kin?

WILL:
My dad passed a few years back,

but my mom's got family
close by, so my older sister.

How many siblings?

Uh, just the one. Vanessa.

-Any health issues?
-SARAH: No.

I mean, we just had our
physicals, so why ask?

This isn't a conventional
mission. Just making sure.

Any BL4 experience?

Um, just two times,

but I've been a part of the VMD
for about a year.

Do you need animal care
technicians on your team?

Everyone will be briefed
on the mission.

And... what about children?
Do you have any?

No.

Are you pregnant?

No.

(knocking at door)

Hello?

He was having trouble breathing,
so I brought him in.

How long have you been
at the hospital?

AUNT DOROTHY:
Overnight.

We didn't, um...

know if we'd be staying,
but, uh, now...

(breathing deeply)

It's okay, I'm...

(Aunt Dorothy exhales sharply)

I'm still here.

Now they're saying...

(inhales, exhales sharply)

he might not...

be coming home.

Can he talk?

Put him on the phone, please?

(sighs) Just a second.

It's Nancy.

(exhales sharply)

NANCY'S FATHER:
Hey, Nancy.

Hey, Dad.

You hanging in there?

Oh, yeah, but...

this one really knocked
the piss out of me.

-Yeah, I bet.
-That's for sure. (chuckles)

You can kick this thing.

Yeah, I, uh...

uh, well, I hope so.

Dad, I, um...

I really want to come.

But we just got the go ahead

to go into this facility and...

Everything in there
is hot right now.

We need to contain it.

So the next 36 hours
is really critical.

No, no. You-- You, uh...

You-you-you have to stay there.

They-they need you there.
(clears throat)

It sounds like a...
like a real son of a gun.

-It is.
-Well, then there's...

nobody better they could have
on the job.

And we both know it.

You got a level head and...
a good heart.

-(crying): Dad.
-No, no.

None of that, now,
come on, please.

Always known your worth,

you just never pushed it
on anybody.

But now, this-- this, maybe,
is the time to do that.

(coughing)

You know,
lives on the line, here.

This is your chance
to show them what you got.

(crying): Dad, just
hang in there for me, okay?

Just hang-- Just be strong
and hang in, just wait.

Just wait. (sniffles)

You bet I will.
Same for you, huh?

(exhales)

(sniffles)

JERRY:
I'm so sorry, sweetheart.

Your dad's always been
a fighter.

He didn't sound good.

Well, if you need to go...

(inhales, exhales deeply)

I want to be there.

We've been through a lot.

I'd just like to sit with him...

(inhales sharply)

...just one last time. (sighs)

Watch Jeopardy. (chuckles)

I just...

The colonel will understand.

(sniffles, breathes deeply)

Even if I go,
my mind will be here.

(sighs) What we're dealing with
could be worse

than anything we've ever seen.

And if that virus gets out

because I put my family first...

Well, you know...

we do have a team here.

My team.

I mean,
I just finished handpicking

the best crew to go in,

and I haven't
even briefed them yet.

-(sighs)
-Right.

Didn't you ask the 91-Tangos

about their families?

Why are you any more expendable
than them?

(exhales) No one's expendable.

You're telling me
you didn't cut people

because their loss
would be felt more than others?

-(exhales)
-(intercom beeps)

MAN:
Colonel Nancy Jaax
to Pathology.

I'm gonna need you to train them
with the wrangling equipment.

They all have experience
with animals.

I would worry more

about how they're gonna handle
those racal suits.

NANCY:
What do you mean,
you sniffed it?

And you're
just telling me this now?

I wanted to tell you earlier,

but that's kind of not
the point, okay? Peter is gone.

What do you...
Did you page him?

Yeah, I paged him. I...

I think he left the base.

I called his house a few times.

Ben.

-He's exposed.
-I know.

But we've been testing
ourselves every day,

and so far we're both negative.

Does anyone else know?

No, I-I just called you.

You know, I figured
you would, um, help quietly

and I didn't think

I should leave the lab.

Well, you got that part right.

Okay. So, I have to go find him.

Okay, so, on days

that he bikes in, he usually
takes the train partway.

So if you drive,
maybe you can catch him.

-(indistinct PA announcement)
-*

*

(indistinct chatter)

Peter.

I guess Ben told you?

Not when he should have.

It wasn't his fault.

It was all me.

So, is this how it is?

It's like when someone has AIDS?

You can't get
within five feet of me?

I'm just trying to...

To say, "I told you so"?

Oh. Can't really say you
stuck the landing on that one.

-(sighs) Why'd you run?
-Didn't run.

I just...
I had to get out of there.

I had to think for a second.

And risk exposing
God knows how many people?

Look, I might be a cocky prick,

but I'd never put anyone's life
in danger.

Whatever this is, I mean,
it isn't airborne yet.

-There'd be a whole...
continent of corpses.
-Well, maybe.

-But you know better
than to be out here.
-I know.

Um... (breathes deeply)

I don't know what happened.

I know every protocol
backwards and forwards,

but when it's you, it's like...

So, I just panicked.

(sighs) Okay.

I need you to come back now.

I'm not going to Slammer, Nancy.

Protocol's protocol, Peter.
You know that.

Rhodes is in charge
of human infection.

You really think
he's gonna quarantine me?

Not his decision.

-You work for USAMRIID.
-Yeah, but as a civilian.

Look, we both know
the CDC will just send me

to the nearest crowded hospital.
The safest thing

is for me and Ben to sequester
ourselves in the lab.

Plus, you need us in BL4.

Got too many samples coming in.

-You lock the door.
You don't go home.
-I promise.

I will handle the colonel.

TUCKER:
Look,

I'll be honest, Jerry. (scoffs)

I don't like any of this.

Nancy should never
have brought Carter in.

He's the only one that's worked
with Ebola in the field.

Sure, but getting everybody
in that meeting rattled

w-with some wild airborne claim?

I mean,
that was reckless, Jerry.

Nancy's trying
to protect people best she can.

She's worked harder than anyone
to get to where she is,

and once she puts her mind
to something,

-you cannot get her off it.
-Jerry.

The BL4 incident.

Now Carter.

500 primates.

It's a lot of monkeys.

You're head
of the vet department.

What if it were your decision?

And I have my guys ready, but...

Look, I haven't wanted
to say this,

but I can see
how torn up you've been

since you lost your brother.

Sir, that doesn't have anything
to do with this.

Yeah, but suddenly losing
someone like that?

It's hard to imagine...
losing your wife, too.

Now, you can't tell me
you don't think

about that every day, Jerry.

No, I can't.

If you put me in charge

instead of Nancy,
she is going to feel

-like her whole...
-Does it matter?

If it means keeping Nancy safe?

That's a tough question.

Look, don't get me wrong, Jerry.

Nancy's one of the best
to ever come through here.

But she hitched herself
to the wrong horse on this one.

Think about your kids, Jerry.

(school bell rings)

(indistinct chatter)

What's up?

Hey, uh,
did your mom say anything

about something weird going on

in Reston or...?

What do you mean, weird?

Sam's mom at the Post
said there was a reporter

looking into some monkey flu
or something?

And they'd brought in some team
from Fort Detrick.

Sounded like that place
your mom works.

I'm sure it's no big deal.

We figured.
No reason to spaz out.

(monkeys screeching
over monitor)

(phone ringing)

This is Colonel Jaax.

FRANK:
They're dying in there.

You said it'd be handled.

-Been a whole day.
Nobody's showed.
-Believe me, Frank,

I'm working as fast as I can.

I've got my hands full here.

I need everyone who's going in
to be fully prepared.

It's spreading.

More of the healthy monkeys
are dropping.

We got to go in.
We got to save the good ones.

Frank, you need to stay away
from that building.

We cleared out all the employees
for their own safety.

Look...

I can station someone
outside the building

to make sure nobody enters,
but we need to be careful.

Press sniffing around...

they're gonna start
asking questions.

All right? And no one's
in a position to answer.

(sighs)

* The world alone,
and now it's *

* 18 and life, you got it *

* 18 and life, you know *

* Your crime is time *

* And it's 18 and life to go *

* 18 and life, you got it... *

My husband's been stuck here
for two days.

How long before we know

if he has it?

Most symptoms appear
in seven to eight days.

But it-it could be
up to three weeks

-before we have any...
-Weeks?

What's gonna happen to him?

At this point, we don't know.

But I would be surprised

if your husband has
anything other than the flu.

How can that be?

I thought
they knew what this was.

It's not that simple,
I'm afraid.

DORIS:
I knew he shouldn't have
taken that job there.

No one should be testing
on animals.

It's cruel.

DOMANSKI:
It's gonna be okay, Dor.

I don't feel too bad.

You heard him.

The longer I'm okay,

I'm guessing
the better chance I have?

Yeah?

You tested negative yesterday.

I'm sure today
will be no different.

Thank you.

Give this over to USAMRIID
for testing.

Relax, soldier.

Even if you were holding Ebola,

it's not as easy to transmit
as you've been led to believe.

Trust me. I've seen it.

(insects trilling,
indistinct chatter)

Did you taste bleach
in that drink?

They're using disinfectant.

That's more than the nuns did
with their needles.

Tells us something.

MELINDA: They don't want us
crossing the perimeter.

Faith Healer must have put her
in isolation.

We...

-we need to go in.
-No.
-(speaking Lingala)

The sickness has entered
because of a curse.

RHODES:
What if we show them our gloves

-and masks now?
-Against a curse?

No, they see this as something
deeper, more spiritual.

-RHODES: What's spiritual
about a virus?
-MELINDA: Nothing.

They know it's a virus,
an illness that makes them sick,

hence the bleach.

What makes it spiritual

is why it targets
a specific person.

That's where beliefs,
witchcraft, faith comes in.

Someone is given the illness
for a reason.

Good day.

I am Tinda.

I am teacher for school,
uh, in close-by villages.

(both speaking Lingala)

(quietly):
You can go.

(knocking)

(woman wheezing)

(coughing)

(coughing)

(woman gasping)

(person coughing)

(woman wheezing)

-Hey.
-You're on this?

I thought
you and Paul were trying.

Yeah, we are. It just
didn't happen this month, so,

-guess I'm cleared for action.
-You guys.

At ease.

Biohazard level 4

agents will be present
in the building.

Reason Ebola Zaire is classified

as a BL4 agent

is that there is no vaccine,
no treatment.

Our best defense
against infection

will be each other,
the buddy system.

Yes. Will.

So, is it just monkeys,
or are there people

with it, with Ebola?

All monkeys... so far.

We will do
a racal suit training.

Racals?

How's this thing spread?
Is it airborne?

It's unclear
how the virus is spreading.

Certainly bodily fluids,
but those can be carried

from the pressure washers that
they use to clean the floors.

So, as far
as this operation goes,

we act as if the virus is
in the droplets in the air.

Guys, let's keep on track.

I need to know-- any scrapes,

open skin of any kind?

Anyone whose suit is compromised
once inside,

and it turns out
you are exposed,

will be moved to the Slammer
for three weeks

before anyone is cleared
to leave.

And to make things harder,

the animals haven't been fed
since yesterday,

so they will be aggressive.

A nail can rip through a suit.

Teeth can breach a mask and
lacerate or puncture the face.

I can't stress this enough.

You are going
into a hostile environment.

We are facing an enemy
that can devastate a city.

And you're what's standing
between it

and the civilians

outside those doors.

Now, it's important

that you understand

this mission is
on a voluntary basis.

So, if you're having any doubts,

this isn't the one for you.

Just raise a hand.

(door opens)

Colonel Jaax,
you got a minute?

Was it your idea?

The colonel and I...
agreed it was better...

To not include me
in the conversation?

I have worked my ass off
never to be in this position.

And when it happens,
it's my own husband?!

-I was...
-God, Jerry!

I was trying to protect you.

I would rather your respect

-than your protection.
-Oh, come on. You know
that I respect you.

Yeah, but not enough to let me
make my own decisions.

I told you how much
I didn't want you going

in there, for the kids,
and you were so determined...

Because I was looking out
for everyone,

not just our kids.

Six million people
in the metro area!

And the 91-Tangos?

Which one of us?

Which one of us is better
prepared to guide them?

Those kids
who just signed up for this?!

I know what I'm doing.

Enough to bet their lives on it?
Or yours?

I know these pathogens, Jerry.

Probably more than anybody else.

This is the day
I've been trained for!

I will take as much anger
as you want to throw at me

-if it means keeping you safe.
-(scoffs)

NANCY (quietly):
My God...

I think
we both know what this is about.

Nance...

There was nothing
you could do for your brother.

I know you miss him more
than I can ever understand,

-but you...
-Why can't you just let me
protect you?

You are not gonna lose me, too.

Listen to me, Nancy.

If our kids end up
with only one parent...

-It's not gonna happen.
-Listen to me.

We both know that I am the one
who is expendable.

Period.

(helicopter whirring)

NANCY:
Just because
we got edged out of Reston

doesn't mean
we're completely sidelined.

Someone needs
to track the workers.

I'm going in with Jerry.

Wait. But they didn't even
want you involved.

How did you convince them?

Said they needed one of us
inside.

Job's got to get done.

It's not personal.

Well, like hell it isn't.

You could have leveraged it--

refused to go in there
without me.

What? And end up
with both of us benched?

Leverage isn't exactly something
I have around here.

Somebody's going
to get the monster.

Whatever it takes.

You caved so easily with Rhodes.

Letting him take Domanski
to the hospital.

What are you talking about?

In some twisted way, do you want
this to get out, to spread?

Nancy, come on.

It sure would validate
all those years

of raising a red flag
and nobody listening.

Get the CDC, the Pentagon,
the nation to wake up.

I never wanted anyone to die.

No, but if it meant snapping
this country to attention,

showing the monster
on some white neighbor

instead of an African villager,

you'd justify the collateral
damage, wouldn't you?

Did I want this? Never.
Now it's here.

Would it be good
for the Oval Office

to be pissing its pants
about now? You bet.

And I'm the one
that brought you into this.

Nancy, it's in that building.

-It's learning. It's evolved.
-Right.

Your elusive Super Ebola.

There will be Super Ebola.

It will wipe us out
if we don't get ahead of it.

And that particular strain is
lurking in a Washington suburb?

It's not presenting
the way it always has.

Without symptoms, people could
be spreading it without knowing.

It's not the monster
I've seen before,

and that scares
the life out of me.

It should scare you, too.

*

(filtered breathing)

BEN:
Do I want to know?

Nothing yet.

I'm gonna give it a sec.

BEN:
Domanski all clear

for day two?

Wait.

(school bell rings)

(indistinct voice over P.A.)

Mommy. (laughs)

Hi. Hi.

I didn't think I'd see you here.

When have I ever missed a meet?

Well, never, but...

(sighs)
I thought you'd be busy today.

Hey.

Jason's friends heard
something about a monkey flu?

And Jason came to my locker
after lunch,

and he was, like,
really wigged out.

(applause)

I was gonna talk to you guys
after your meet.

What did he hear?

Just that there's some outbreak
in the monkeys or something.

Sam White's mom heard it
from the Post.

And then...

Jason said
that it was contained,

but you always tell me not to
believe everything I hear, so

-I don't know.
-Hmm.

Well, it is...

will be contained very soon.

Okay.

(applause)

You're not going in there
with the monkeys, are you?

-(pager beeping)
-No, I am not.

Okay.

Can we come home tonight, then?

I... Well...
(clicks tongue)

I think your aunt wants you one
more night because she made...

-(groans)
-No, but listen (chuckles) why.

She's making fondue.

(sighs)

Okay. Well, can you promise me

that this is the last night
of carob pie?

It's healthy.

(both laugh)

All right, now go show 'em
what you got. Go on.

(applause)

(pager beeping)

(birds singing,
insects trilling)

Tell her
this isn't gonna hurt.

(woman sobbing)

Tell her
this is gonna be okay.

MIRANDA:
Okay. (speaks Lingala)

It's okay.

-(crying)
-Don't move!

Don't move!

-(speaking Lingala)
-(wailing)

(woman coughing)

(Melinda continues
speaking Lingala)

We need to get out
of this place.

I'm sorry, but there's nothing
we can do for anyone here.

You have your mission,
but I have mine.

I'm here to help these people.

RHODES:
We stay, we risk exposure.

-We can't leave.
-RHODES: We have to.

We go down, these samples
don't get back, more people die.

All this was for nothing.

Chopper isn't coming back
for a couple of days.

What?

(loud,
overlapping shouting outside)

What is that noise?

(loud, overlapping shouting
continues)

CARTER:
Hey.

Hey!

(shouting continues)

CARTER:
Step back!

Step back!

Get away!

(shouting continues)

(crowd quiets)

What happened here?

TINDA:
I let you in the hut.

They think you are going
to spread the disease.

They want to blame someone.

RHODES:
We've both seen

this thing up close.

Panic. Fear.

We know
what it can make people do.

(sighs)

It's not something
that's easy to forget.

Those people in Matambwe,

they were terrified.

You could see in their eyes
they knew they were gonna die.

Just...

imagining that kind of hysteria
in millions of people...

I can't let that happen in D.C.

You want me to say that keeping
those workers out of quarantine

is the right decision.

(exhales)

That obvious, huh?

(chuckles)
I know you.

I'm your wife.

Look, maybe we could
keep a lid on it.

I've been staring at this guy
for a day now, Mel.

He doesn't have it,
not-not what we saw in Africa.

I'm telling you,
it's-it's something different.

No rash?

Nausea? His eyes aren't...

He's barely even got a fever.

Even though it's tearing
the monkeys' insides apart.

And meanwhile,

I got Carter trying to pull
every alarm.

And we both know
what he's capable of.

Do you think maybe it's possible
you're pushing back so hard

because it's him?

CARTER:
There are two kinds

of ventilators,
two types of battery.

Grab the right one.

If they lose power,

the air pressure in your suit
will decrease.

Don't panic.

Breathing heavily
just burns through more oxygen.

Claustrophobia
can creep up on you.

If you find your heart start
to race,

just breathe through.

Count to 20.

If your heart starts
to pound faster, harder,

you'll know
you're about to spin out.

Keep your eyes focused
on the door ahead of you.

Once you're through there,
focus on the next one.

Know you're getting out.

Those of you
with sharp instruments,

always keep your buddy
on the left-hand side.

Unless you're left-handed.
Then, safely on the right.

(breathing heavily)

CARTER:
If we lose power,

it may get dark.

(breathing heavily)

Your hood may fog.

You've got a flashlight on you.
Find it.

JERRY:
You've all been assigned
a buddy inside.

Every ten minutes,

-do a 360 around your partner.
-(whimpering)

-(gasping)
-Check constantly
for suit breaches.

Every 45 minutes
is a mandatory break.

Carter! Carter, a light!

-Hey, it's okay.
-(pants, shudders)

Okay. Regular breaths.

-Slow and steady.
-(panting)

CARTER:
Whose buddy was he?

Find a new one.

(shuddering)

Domanski's got it.
Just verified.

And the other workers
were sent home.

They could be exposing
their families.

Come with me.

He tested positive?

There's been no change
in his condition.

It was verified
under the electron microscope.

I'm ready to bump
this tug-of-war up to the top

if you're determined
to keep stonewalling me.

Colonel, you haven't stared
Ebola in the face...

I did yesterday.

In a monkey.

We need to draw blood
from all the workers

and whoever they were
in physical contact with now.

This is coming
from your general?

The Army's been in lock-step
with this from the start.

The question is, when this
gets tossed across the river,

I know DOD's got my back

and Health and Human Services
has yours.

Which one do you think
has President Bush's ear?

(scoffs)

We have a hard enough time
getting nurses

to deliver mashed potatoes
to patients with AIDS.

We've got politicians

who literally want
to brand people who have HIV.

Now, you cry Ebola,

and Tom Brokaw's got
a photo of bloody corpses

in every home in America
tonight.

Only a fraction of health care
workers show up tomorrow

to handle the thousands
who come racing in panic,

each one suspicious
of the other.

Millions of dollars triggered.

Thousands of National Guard
throwing themselves

in harm's way
from a terrified mob.

Anticipated
roadway fatalities alone

run in the hundreds.

You don't think very highly
of people, do you?

D.C. may be
a thriving modern metropolis,

but at the end of the day,

it's just a village
like any other.

Fear is fear.

With all due respect,

that's not the battle
I've been charged with fighting.

So you would wager
guaranteed fatal casualties

against a couple
of possible infections?

We don't have to broadcast it.

We can do this quietly.

I can have them tested tonight.

-(organ music playing)
-The blood of Christ.

(choir singing in Latin)

The blood of Christ.

(child babbling)

The blood of Christ.

The blood of Christ.

The blood of Christ.

The blood of Christ.

The blood of Christ.

(quietly):
We got to go.

The blood...

The blood of Christ.

Hi. Is your mom home?

Mom!

*

*

Nancy?

*

NANCY:
How is he?

NANCY'S FATHER:
Hmm?

Dad?

(grunts softly)

Hi.

Hi, darling.

Did you save the world?

(Nancy chuckles)

Not really.

Jerry took the wheel.

Well, you-you didn't have
to do that for me.

Well,

he and the colonel
made the decision.

Took me by surprise.

But I'm happy
to be here to see you.

You know,

I always tried to protect you.

I know, Dad.

And you always did.

And-and it wasn't because I...

didn't think that
you couldn't do it yourself.

Hmm.

Don't be angry with him
for too long.

Can I have one day?

(chuckles, sniffles)

I wouldn't even waste one.

I am so proud of you.

(chuckles)

(sniffles)

Now go.

Go.

Put up a fight till I get back,
okay?

I do. I promise.

Okay.

Same for you.

WICHITA:
Hey, Mom.

Yeah.

I figured he's probably asleep.

Time to move out, Private.

Mom, I got to go.

Just, um...

wanted to say hi.

Okay.

I love you, too, Mom.

Bye.

(indistinct, urgent chatter)

(door rattles down)

All right, Tangos, listen up.

You're going into combat
against a virus

for whom survival
is all that matters.

It has no conscience,

no mercy.

You guys think the same way,

and we all come home. Clear?

TANGOS:
Yes, sir!
