Invasion (1997–…): Season 1, Episode 1 - Episode #1.1 - full transcript
A rock falls and infects someone. Then this rock mysteriously returns to the clouds going right through someone's hand burning a hole in the fellow's hand and exiting the building. Then a bunch of rocks fall and lots of people start being infected. This is very much like the beginning of "The Body Snatchers".

NORTH'S OFFICE ONE MORE TIME.

NO, THE ONLY THING
I'M OBSESSED WITH IS YOU.
HEY, GUYS, GET A ROOM, OKAY?
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO EAT HERE.
SHE'S JUST JEALOUS.
TOLD YOU HE'D DO IT.
HE PROPOSED?
YES.
OH, GOD.
HI, YEAH.
MY NAME IS BEAU STARK.
I SENT A RESUME TO THE NORTH
FOUNDATION
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
OH, YOU DID?
SURE, YEAH, I'M--
I'M FREE.
SO WHEN'S THE BIG DAY?
WE DON'T KNOW.
WE HAVEN'T SET ONE.
BEAU'S TRYING TO GET THIS JOB,
BUT WE'LL KNOW IN A COUPLE
OF WEEKS.
DOES IT GET ANY BETTER THAN
THIS, HUH?
A BEAUTIFUL CITY,
A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
AND TWO BEAUTIFUL LADIES.
OH, YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT.
PITT, SUBTLETY.
THOUGHT I WAS TRYING.
WASN'T I?
WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT?
IT WORKS.
WHERE'S BEAU?
I GOTTA SEE IF HE
CAN GIVE ME A RIDE TO WORK.
HE'S ON THE PHONE.
HE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, THOUGH.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT A HANGNAIL.
PITT!
IS THAT A RING
ON YOUR FINGER?
YES, IT'S A RING ON MY--
YES, IT'S A RING
ON HER FINGER.
WAIT'LL YOU SEE THE BELLS
I'M GONNA PUT ON HER TOES.
I GOT THE INTERVIEW.
YOU DID?
WITH THE NORTH FOUNDATION?
MM-HMM.
WELL, CAN I AT LEAST
COME ON THE HONEYMOON?
NO.
NO.
MOM, COME ON.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I'M GONNA BE LATE.
WELL, DON'T FORGET WE HAVE
DINNER WITH AUNT CELIA--
TONIGHT?
YES.
I'M NOT SURE I CAN MAKE IT.
THEY'VE ASKED A FEW OF US
AT THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT
TO LOOK INTO
THE POWER OUTAGES
FROM LAST NIGHT.
WELL, WILL YOU AT LEAST TRY?
YOU KNOW HOW AUNT CELIA GETS.
YEAH, I KNOW HOW SHE GETS,
BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL, OKAY?
BYE, HONEY.
BYE.
BYE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
COME ON, MOM.
DAD, TELL HER SHE DRIVES
TOO SLOW.
YOU DRIVE TOO SLOW.
I DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT.
MOM, SPEED LIMITS ARE JUST
GUIDELINES.
SO NOW IF YOU GET THIS NEW
JOB, YOU GONNA
BE LEAVING PHOENIX?
YEAH, I GUESS.
I MEAN,
I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY FAMILY
OR ANYTHING TO KEEP ME, SO--
HMM?
EXCEPT YOU.
WHAT ABOUT THE YOUTH CENTER?
YOU'LL BE KIND OF HARD
TO REPLACE.
LOOK,
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, MAN?
I CANNOT STAY THERE FOREVER.
THEY'RE GONNA FIND SOMEBODY ELSE
TO DO IT.
HEY, I'M JUST JOKING.
I'M JUST JOKING, ALL RIGHT?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I FORGOT MY GLASSES.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
HE'S NOT JUST JOKING.
BEAU, YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL
GUILTY.
THIS IS A MILLION-DOLLAR
FOUNDATION.
IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
I DON'T FEEL GUILTY.
YES, YOU DO.
NO, I DON'T.
YES, YOU DO.
WHY IS IT YOU CAN READ ME
SO EASY?
LOTS OF PRACTICE.
I GUESS.
YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU,
I WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE
THE CONFIDENCE
TO GO AFTER THIS JOB
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
OF COURSE YOU WOULD.
JUST THINK ABOUT ALL THE GREAT
THINGS YOU'RE GONNA DO,
NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA
LEAVE BEHIND.
BEAU, LISTEN.
THIS ISN'T AN OPPORTUNITY
THAT COMES ALONG EVERY DAY.
AND YOU KNOW HOW LONG
YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
I JUST THINK THAT YOU SHOULD--
WHAT HAPPENED?
( sucks ) I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETHING STUCK ME.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I GUESS.
HEY, I GOT 'EM.
YOU READY?
YEAH, LET'S GET GOING, GUYS.
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK.
YEAH, LET'S GO.
BEAU, ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
DR. MORAN,
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD
A CHANCE TO WRITE THAT
REC LETTER FOR MY RESIDENCY.
IT'S DUE PRETTY SOON,
SO I JUST THOUGHT I'D CHECK.
PERHAPS YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED
THAT I'M IN THE MIDDLE
OF RUNNING AN E.R. UNIT RIGHT
NOW, AND YOU BEING LATE
FOR YOUR SHIFT ISN'T EXACTLY
EARNING YOU HIGH MARKS
AS FAR AS RECOMMENDATIONS GO.
YOU DID PROMISE THE LETTER
LAST WEEK.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'LL DO IT TONIGHT.
HE MUST THINK I'VE BECOME
A REAL PAIN.
MORE THAN USUAL?
I'LL TELL YA.
IT'S THE DIVORCE.
ONCE IT'S OVER, YOU'LL BE FINE.
IT IS OVER.
AS OF YESTERDAY,
I'M OFFICIALLY A FREE WOMAN.
IS IT TOO SOON TO TELL YOU
ABOUT THIS GREAT GUY I WANT YOU
TO MEET?
THAT'S THE SCARIEST THING
I'VE HEARD ALL DAY.
( bell ringing )
YOU GUYS WERE DISCUSSING
FAULKNER, RIGHT?
( laughing, chattering )
I KNOW IT'S COOL
TO TORTURE THE SUBSTITUTE,
BUT I CAN MAKE THIS FUN
OR PAINFUL.
MR. PARTRIDGE.
DON'T MIND ME, MISS WINSLOW,
PLEASE CONTINUE.
RIGHT.
WILLIAM FAULKNER.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME
SOMETHING ABOUT FAULKNER?
ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT FAULKNER?
YEAH, HE WAS AN AMERICAN
WRITER.
THAT'S RIGHT...
JOHN.
WHAT ELSE?
WELL, YEAH, HE WAS KNOWN
FOR HIS VIVID CHARACTERIZATIONS
IN NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES.
RIGHT.
VIVID CHARACTERS WITHIN
A COMPLEX STORY STRUCTURE.
NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
"A ROSE FOR EMILY."
JOHN.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
I JUST WANTED
TO THANK YOU FOR TODAY.
YOU SAVED MY SKIN.
SURE, IT WAS NOTHING.
THIS IS MY MOM.
MISS WINSLOW'S OUR SUB.
HI.
BRAVE SOUL. NANCY OCHOA.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
YOU WORK AT ASHLAND-FINCH.
YES, DO YOU KNOW IT?
YEAH, MY FATHER USED TO WORK
IN PHARMACEUTICALS.
HE PASSED AWAY A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO.
( horn honks )
THAT'S MY RIDE.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU
AND THANKS AGAIN.
I OWE YOU ONE.
BEAU, YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST CAME UNDER
A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO.
YOU'RE FREEZING.
MOVE OVER.
I'M GONNA TAKE YOU HOME.
OKAY.
( groaning )
OH!
( groaning )
OH, MY GOD.
BEAU. BEAU.
HONEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
OH, GOD.
I'M SCARED.
SHH. IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
SHH. SHH.
HEY, CASSY.
I JUST TALKED TO THE DOCTOR.
HE SAID THE INITIAL TEST RESULTS
DON'T REVEAL ANYTHING CONTAGIOUS
AND HIS VITALS DON'T SHOW HIM TO
BE IN ANY KIND OF DANGER.
SO, BASICALLY, HE'S JUST GOT
SOME REALLY NASTY FLU SYMPTOMS.
DOES HE HAVE TO SPEND
THE NIGHT HERE TONIGHT?
OH, NO.
THE DOCTOR SAID GO AHEAD
AND TAKE HIM HOME.
PLENTY OF FLUIDS, PLENTY OF
REST, AND IF YOU WANT,
I CAN GIVE YOU A CALL
IN THE MORNING
WITH THE FINAL TEST RESULTS,
BUT...
OKAY, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
( thunder crashing )
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
BEAU, HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I'M GOOD.
YEAH?
YEAH.
COME ON.
COME ON, SWEETIE, LET'S GO.
HERE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I DON'T KNOW. I FEEL LIKE
I'M LEAVING SOMETHING BEHIND.
NO, SWEETHEART.
I'VE GOT IT ALL.
YEAH?
YEAH, COME ON.
( rustling )
( screaming )
YOU HAD ME WORRIED.
NAH, DON'T BE WORRIED.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE JUST FINE.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
BEAU, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
CASS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BEAU?
COME ON.
I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING.
ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU'RE
FEELING BETTER?
I'M MUCH BETTER.
HURRY, QUICK.
IT'S HAPPENING NOW.
NOW?
YES, RIGHT NOW. COME ON.
RIGHT OVER THERE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THERE'S MORE.
WAS IT IN THE PAPER
OR SOMETHING?
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
I JUST KNEW.
In other news,
thousands of meteors
were reported over the Phoenix
skies last night.
While scientists
continue to look
for an explanation,
they confirm that no other
cities experienced this strange
phenomenon.
And it is unrelated
to the atmospheric disturbances
noted the night before.
As for today's weather,
temperatures are climbing
in the lower deserts,
while the upper mountains
will remain cool
with very possible strong winds
below the canyons.
Our weekday average temperatures
will be in the 80s,
probable 90s by the weekend,
and overnight lows in the 80s
downtown and low 70s
in the valleys.
( bird squawks )
BEAU, HOW YOU FEELING?
BETTER. MUCH BETTER.
GOOD.
WHY DON'T YOU COME IN
AND WE'LL HAVE BREAKFAST?
LOOKS LIKE THE 4th OF JULY
HAPPENED A LITTLE EARLY, HUH?
I'M NOT SURE JOKES ARE
ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE RIGHT NOW,
MR. HENDERSON.
SORRY.
WHY? WHAT HAPPENED?
THE S.M.A. ON THE 3:00 A.M.
SHIFT FOUND IT LIKE THIS.
THE BODY WAS OVER THERE.
THE BODY?
YES, AN ORDERLY.
HE'D BEEN DEAD A COUPLE
OF HOURS.
A FRIEND OF MINE WAS
A PATIENT IN THIS ROOM
EARLIER TODAY.
WELL, THEN I GUESS HE'S
THE LUCKY ONE.
HE WORKED WITH US
FOR AROUND FIVE YEARS.
YOU PEOPLE CAME THIS MORNING
AND TOOK THE BODY OUT
AT 6:00 A.M.
WASN'T OUR PEOPLE.
WE'RE PHOENIX PD.
CORONER'S OFFICE TOOK THE BODY.
YEAH, WE JUST WANNA KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, OKAY?
THERE'LL BE AN AUTOPSY
AT 4:00 TODAY.
EXCUSE ME, FOLKS. PARDON ME.
EXCUSE ME.
OKAY, PARTNER.
30 YEARS ON THE FORCE.
ALWAYS TELLING ME
YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING THERE IS
TO SEE.
YOU EVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE THIS?
MMM-MMM.
SHEESH.
SOMEBODY GOT A GOOD SMOKE IN.
ALL RIGHT,
ANYBODY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS
ON WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED HERE?
WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOME
PEOPLE FROM THE PHYSICS
DEPARTMENT OVER HERE
TO TAKE A LOOK.
PHYSICS?
YEAH.
WELL, LOOKS LIKE THE GREATEST
CONCENTRATION OF HEAT WAS HERE,
AND THE BODY POSITIONING WAS
HERE.
SO THE GUY MUST HAVE BEEN
ABOUT 10 OR 12 FEET AWAY
FROM HIM WHEN IT HIT.
IT?
IT. WHATEVER IT WAS.
I'M GONNA BE LATE, SO--
BEAU, HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'M GONNA GO GET IN THE SHOWER.
BEAU,
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
BEAU.
BEAU!
ALL I'M SAYING IS
IT IS NOT LIKE BEAU.
THE WAY HE'S BEEN EATING, PITT.
LIKE HE CAN'T GET ENOUGH.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE'S TASTING
SOME OF THE STUFF
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
( men and women coughing )
AND SEXUALLY,
HE'S DIFFERENT.
MORE AGGRESSIVE.
OKAY, WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE
MORE INFORMATION THAN I NEEDED.
HE'S BEEN ACTING STRANGE
EVER SINCE HE HAD THE FLU.
MAYBE IT'S STILL IN HIS SYSTEM.
MAYBE IT DID SOMETHING WEIRD
TO HIM.
CASSY, LOTS OF PEOPLE
GET THE FLU.
THEN WHAT IS IT, PITT?
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP.
SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH BEAU.
WHY DON'T I TALK WITH HIM?
IT'S NOTHING.
IT'S NOTHING.
HEY.
HEY, WHAT'S UP, ANDIE?
JUST GOING TO THE LIBRARY.
YOU KNOW, I'M SCARED TO DEATH
OF THESE S.A.T.s.
IT'S LIKE I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
OUR WHOLE FUTURE HINGES
ON THIS ONE STUPID TEST.
I KNOW. MY DAD, LIKE, THINKS
I'M TOTALLY BLOWING IT OFF.
YEAH, WELL, MY MOM,
SHE'S DECIDED TO STUDY WITH ME.
SHE THINKS IT'S GONNA HELP US
BOND.
I JUST WISH MINE
WOULD GIVE ME SOME CREDIT.
I MEAN, I DO HAVE SOME KIND OF
BRAIN IN MY HEAD, YOU KNOW?
( coughing )
CHECK OUT PARTRIDGE.
THERE YOU GO.
YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
( coughing )
OW!
JUST FILL OUT THE FIRST THREE
LINES AND HAVE A SEAT.
WE'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE.
HEY, PUMPKIN,
WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE MATTER,
HUH? HUH?
I'M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE WENT IN THE BACKYARD
AND SHE SAID A ROCK BIT HER.
OH, A ROCK BIT YA?
OH, YOU GOTTA WATCH OUT
FOR THOSE.
THEY DO THAT SOMETIMES.
YEAH, AND THEN SHE STARTED
FEELING SICK.
OH, WOW.
( woman screaming )
SOMEBODY, HELP US!
LET'S GET HER DOWN TO E.R.!
PLEASE HELP US.
ALL RIGHT, MOVE.
HERE WE GO.
TREATMENT ROOM ONE.
LET'S GO!
OKAY, TWO MILLIGRAMS
OF ATIVAN.
LET'S GO, PEOPLE!
OKAY, WHO'S WITH THIS LADY?
TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE CAME IN FROM THE GARDEN,
TOLD ME SHE STEPPED ON
SOMETHING.
THEN SHE GOT DIZZY
AND THEN THIS.
RESTRAIN HER.
RESTRAIN HER!
( heart monitor flatlining )
( telephone rings )
( beeps )
GOOD, I'LL BE THERE.
( beeps )
WELL, THAT'S NOT LIKE ANY
BULLET WOUND I'VE EVER SEEN.
AND THERE'S NO BLOOD ANYWHERE.
WHATEVER DID THIS WAS SO DAMN
HOT IT CAUTERIZED THE SITE
INSTANTLY.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S
THE WEIRDNESS
WITH THE TOOTH ENAMEL.
MAN.
ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR,
WHAT DO YOU THINK CAUSED THIS?
I GOT MY THEORIES,
BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE THEM.
COME ON.
ACUTE RADIATION POISONING.
I TOLD YOU YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT.
LOOK, THE WAY I SEE IT, HERE
IT'S AS IF SOMEBODY DROPPED A
PELLET FULL OF FRESH PLUTONIUM
ON THIS POOR BASTARD'S HAND.
OF COURSE, THAT'S ABSURD,
ISN'T IT?
( coughing )
MIKE, YOU OKAY?
YOU DON'T LOOK VERY WELL.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
TAKE OFF EARLY AND GO HOME?
HEY, BEAU.
HEY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
OH, NOTHING.
OKAY, WELL, I'M KEEPING
THE THEME OF THE DAY,
NAMELY IRRESPONSIBILITY.
I SPARED NO EXPENSE.
I GOT SOME STEAKS,
SOME WINE, SOME SALAD.
WE'RE GOING OUT.
I HAD A CHANGE OF MIND.
I JUST SPENT $60
AT THE GROCERY STORE.
WELL, I'LL TAKE YOU OUT.
I KNOW JUST THE PLACE
AND I WON'T TAKE NO
FOR AN ANSWER.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
BEAU, THIS IS MY CD PLAYER.
JUST A LITTLE INVENTING
TODAY.
I GUESS I BETTER NOT GIVE UP
THE DAY JOB, HUH?
I'M GONNA GO GET US
SOME SODAS, OKAY?
OKAY.
OKAY.
THERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
( music plays over dialogue )
GOOD EVENING, MISS WINSLOW.
HOW ARE YOU?
HI, MR. PARTRIDGE.
YOU KNOW, DEAR,
IT'S GETTING LATE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD BE
ON OUR WAY.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
WHAT?
THAT'S MR. PARTRIDGE,
THE VICE PRINCIPAL OF MY SCHOOL.
YES, I KNOW.
HE SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF YOU.
YOU KNOW HIM?
( horn honks )
HEY, MAN, WATCH OUT!
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NUTS.
WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING
TO KILL US BOTH?
LIGHTEN UP.
YOU KNOW,
NO WONDER CASSY'S SO FREAKED.
WHAT?
WHAT, YOU TWO TALK ABOUT ME
WHEN I'M NOT AROUND, PITT?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU
AND CASSY.
STAY AWAY FROM HER.
YOU KNOW,
YOU REALLY ARE OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
BEAU.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
( groaning )
BEAU.
NAH, JUST STAY THERE.
( tools whirring )
( groaning )
HEY!
WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU?
HEY, SPORT,
I'M TALKING TO YOU.
HEY!
HEY!
WHAT THE--
( bones crack )
( shouts )
( screaming )
( horn honks )
BEAU.
BEAU.
HEY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE NOW.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
COME ON.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
NOTHING.
IT'S JUST MY PARENTS.
THEY'RE JUST
ACTING KINDA WEIRD.
SO YOU'RE SPYING, ANDIE?
NO. I MEAN--
THEY'RE INSIDE
WITH MR. PARTRIDGE.
GO AHEAD, TELL HER.
ANDIE, COME ON.
TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
OKAY, LAST WEEK,
MY MOM'S ON THIS KICK, RIGHT,
TO BE MY BEST FRIEND,
AND NOW SHE WON'T EVEN TALK
TO ME.
IT'S LIKE SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
THAT I'M THERE.
I MEAN, I DON'T GET IT.
WHAT IS SHE DOING IN THERE WITH
PARTRIDGE AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE?
OKAY, LISTEN.
YOU TWO TAKE OFF
BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE SEES YOU.
JOHN, MAKE SURE SHE GETS HOME
OKAY.
YEAH, SURE.
ANDIE, DON'T WORRY.
I'LL FIND OUT WHAT I CAN, OKAY?
NOW GO ON HOME.
GO ON.
COME ON.
( bell ringing )
( screaming )
KEEP HIS LEGS DOWN!
HOLD HIM DOWN.
I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.
HOLD ON TO HIM.
CRASH CART NOW.
LET'S GO.
MOVE!
( machine powers up )
( beeping )
CLEAR!
CLEAR.
( loud thump )
NO PULSE, NO HEARTBEAT.
NOTHING!
NO PULSE, NO HEARTBEAT.
( flatlines )
NO PULSE, NO HEARTBEAT.
THIS IS GETTING REALLY OLD.
DR. MORAN.
YOU REMEMBER THAT PATIENT
YESTERDAY?
WHICH PATIENT, MR. HENDERSON?
WE GOT A LOT OF PATIENTS
IN THIS HOSPITAL.
ALL RIGHT, THE DECEASED
FEMALE, MID 40s, THE WILD WOMAN.
SHE DIED RIGHT
IN FRONT OF US IN OPERATING?
YES, I REMEMBER HER.
REMEMBER?
YES.
I DON'T THINK I GOT A CHANCE
TO THANK YOU FOR PULLING ME OUT
OF THE WAY.
SAVED ME A FEW STITCHES.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I JUST GOT HER BLOOD REPORT BACK
FROM PHLEBOTOMY.
AND?
NOTHING.
BLOOD LEVELS ARE RIGHT DOWN
THE MIDDLE.
NO FOREIGN AGENTS,
NO HALLUCINOGENS.
THE ONLY THING OUT
OF THE ORDINARY
IS A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED ENZYME
COUNT AND HER BLOOD TYPE'S
RH-NEGATIVE.
THAT'S IT.
HE WAS RH-NEGATIVE,
WITH THE SAME OVERT BEHAVIOR.
( men and women coughing )
DO YOU THINK IT COULD HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THAT FLU THAT'S
BEEN GOING AROUND?
I MEAN, I KNOW EPIDEMIOLOGY
HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE
ITS ORIGINS YET, BUT--
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
WELL, I'VE BEEN CHECKING IN
WITH THEM.
YOU KNOW THAT FRIEND I TOLD
YOU ABOUT?
YES.
WELL, HE HAD THE SAME THING.
( coughing )
COME ON.
LOOK, DR. MORAN.
( blows nose )
50-SOME ODD CASES
OF FLU DON'T QUALIFY
AS AN EPIDEMIC.
WELL, THAT'S 50 PATIENTS
AT THIS FACILITY ALONE.
AS ADMINISTRATOR HERE,
I WOULD THINK THAT
YOU WOULD WANNA CHECK THAT OUT.
SO?
IT'S A NASTY FLU.
YEAH, EXCEPT THAT THERE'S
NO FLU VIRUS PRESENT
IN ANY OF THE PATIENTS' BLOOD.
I'VE HAD TWO PATIENTS DIE
ON ME IN THE LAST 48 HOURS,
BOTH FROM NO DISCERNIBLE CAUSE,
BOTH FROM RH-NEGATIVE
BLOOD TYPE.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH THE FLU?
I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS
ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT,
BUT RIGHT NOW, IT IS THE ONLY
FACTOR THAT THESE
TWO PATIENTS SHARED.
PHILLIP,
ALL I'M SUGGESTING IS THAT YOU
CHECK WITH OTHER HEALTH
FACILITIES.
FOR WHAT?
SOME 24-HOUR THING
WITHOUT ANY LINGERING
AFTEREFFECTS?
YOU'RE HOME.
HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
BEAU, WE NEED TO TALK.
ABOUT WHAT?
I SAW MR. PARTRIDGE TODAY
WITH THESE PEOPLE.
AND THEY WERE MAKING--
WHAT WERE THEY MAKING?
ALL OF THEM WERE MAKING THESE
THINGS, AND IT WAS JUST LIKE
THE ONE THAT YOU GAVE
TO MR. PARTRIDGE LAST NIGHT.
AND THEY HAD THESE LITTLE,
LITTLE BLACK STONES.
STONES?
YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME, CASS.
YOU DO TRUST ME, DON'T YOU?
PITT.
PITT, IT'S CASSY.
NO, LISTEN.
YOU GOTTA GET OVER HERE.
YOU GOTTA SEE THIS.
HURRY.
( zapping )
PITT, IT'S CASSY.
PICK UP THE PHONE.
PITT, PICK UP THE PHONE.
( sighs )
CASSY.
CASSY. CASS--
( sighs )
DON'T QUESTION IT.
IT WOULD BE SO MUCH SIMPLER
IF YOU'D JUST LET IT HAPPEN.
LET WHAT HAPPEN, BEAU?
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU LET ME HELP YOU?
I DON'T NEED ANY HELP.
DON'T FIGHT IT.
YOU'VE SEEN
THESE LAST FEW DAYS.
YOU FELT WHAT I'M LIKE.
IT'S WONDERFUL, CASS.
OH, GOD.
BEAU, NO, PLEASE.
DON'T FIGHT IT.
NO!
DON'T FIGHT ME!
BEAU! BEAU! CASSY.
PITT.
HEY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
NOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU.
BEAU, COME ON.
IT'S 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
NOW WHAT IS THIS?
I STILL LOVE YOU, CASSY.
AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE,
AND I'LL BE BACK.
I HAPPEN TO BE ONE
OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD,
SO JUST BECAUSE YOUR ASS IS
IN THIS OFFICE DOESN'T
NECESSARILY MEAN
YOU'VE GOT THE JOB.
ANYONE WHO'S GOING TO BE
MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT
HAD DAMN WELL HAVE BETTER
STUDIED ME
AND MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHIES.
I GIVE YOU 30 SECONDS
TO IMPRESS ME.
GO.
OKAY, YOU ARE A VERY
POWERFUL MAN.
VERY TRUE.
OBVIOUSLY WITH A GREAT DEAL
OF FINANCIAL RESOURCE.
ABSOLUTELY.
SOME WOULD SAY THAT
WITH YOUR CONNECTIONS,
YOU COULD THEORETICALLY
RULE THE WORLD.
TRUE. NOW ANYTHING TO DRINK?
A PELLEGRINO, ORANGE JUICE,
ANYTHING?
NO, THANK YOU.
SIT, SIT, SIT.
WHY DON'T WE JUST CUT
THROUGH THE CRAP, HUH?
I LIKE POWER.
I LIKE MONEY.
THE ONLY REASON I HAVE THIS
FOUNDATION IS TO GET ME
SOME GOOD PRESS,
AND I'D LIKE MY EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR TO KNOW THAT UP FRONT.
DOES ANY OF THIS DISTURB YOU?
NO.
ACTUALLY, I FIND IT VERY
REFRESHING.
REALLY?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TO ME?
WHAT YOU AND YOU
NONPROFIT DO-GOODERS ARE?
NOTHING.
YOU'RE PAWNS IN THIS LITTLE GAME
THAT I'M PLAYING.
I LIKE GAMES.
I DON'T THINK YOU'LL LIKE
THIS ONE, THOUGH.
YOU SEE, I WRITE THE RULES.
I DEAL OUT THE HANDS.
I DECIDE WHO WINS,
IN CASE I DON'T SEE YOU AGAIN.
OH, I THINK YOU WILL.
CATCH.
AND WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S YOUR FUTURE, MR. NORTH.
I'LL BE AT THE ROOSEVELT HOTEL.
YOU CALL ME LATER.
( elevator bell dings )
OW!
TALK TO ME.
WELL, THE KID SAYS DAD
PICKED HIM UP
FROM BASEBALL PRACTICE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE WENT CRAZY,
STARTED SCREAMING, HIT THE KID,
JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR
AND JUST RAN INTO THE BUILDING.
WAS THE GUY ARMED?
WE DON'T KNOW THAT.
WHERE'S YOUR PARTNER?
HE'S INSIDE.
WHERE'S YOUR BACKUP?
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.
HOW YOU DOING, PAL?
OKAY. ( crying )
YOU'LL BE OKAY, SON.
LET'S GO.
EASY.
( man screaming )
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE PLAYING
WITH HERE?
OW! JESUS.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SOMETHING CUT ME.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
PROBABLY GET TETANUS.
I'M GOING UP.
YOU COVER ME.
( man screams )
( siren wailing )
( man groaning )
BUDDY. BUDDY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
( screaming )
FREEZE!
I SAID FREEZE!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT
YOUR FIANCE WAS THE FIRST,
OR AT LEAST THE FIRST YOU KNOW
OF TO GET THIS FLU?
YES.
AND HE TRIED TO INFECT ME, TOO,
WITH SOME SORT OF BLACK STONE.
I THINK THE VIRUS IS
IN THE BLACK STONES.
LET'S NOT JUMP
TO CONCLUSIONS TOO FAST, OKAY?
SO WHERE IS HE NOW?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE'VE GOT A FLAMEOUT.
JUST WENT FLATLINE ON US
ON THE WAY HERE.
JUST WAIT OVER THERE.
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU TELL ME.
THIS GUY JUST GOES BALLISTIC.
HE'S GOT LIKE SUPERHUMAN
STRENGTH.
HE'S JUST THROWING ME AROUND
LIKE I'M A FEATHER.
HE HITS HIM WITH THREE
HOLLOW POINTS IN THE BACK
AND THE GUY STILL DOESN'T FALL.
( coughing )
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
( coughs, sniffles )
HEY, LISTEN.
CAN WE GET OUT OF HERE, PLEASE?
I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE CRAP.
YEAH.
SAME AS THE OTHERS.
OKAY, BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING
ELSE, I WANT HIM TYPED.
SEE IF HE'S RH-NEGATIVE.
BUT HE'S ALREADY DEAD.
THAT'S AGAINST PROCEDURE,
DOCTOR.
I NEED TO KNOW WHETHER
HE'S RH-NEGATIVE OR NOT.
CAN YOU TAKE CARE
OF THAT FOR ME?
I THINK YOU SHOULD WAIT FOR
APPROVAL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
HAVE THIS BODY REMOVED
TO THE MORGUE
TO AWAIT THE CORONER.
NO PROBLEM.
PHILLIP, YOU JUST
CAN'T IGNORE THIS ANYMORE.
I DOUBT THAT THERE IS
ANYTHING TRULY SERIOUS HERE,
DR. MORAN.
IN A FEW DAYS' TIME,
I'M SURE THAT YOU'LL SEE
IT WILL ALL BLOW OVER.
GET ME THE CDC REP
IN PHOENIX.
GOD, I WISH I KNEW
WHERE BEAU WAS AT RIGHT NOW,
WHAT HE WAS DOING, PITT.
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING
WE CAN DO TO HELP HIM.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU CRASH
AT MY PLACE TONIGHT?
I'LL BE THERE
AS SOON AS I FINISH MY SHIFT.
THANKS, PITT.
OKAY.
OH, CASSY.
JUST KEEP THE DOOR LOCKED,
ALL RIGHT?
I'M SORRY.
MR. NORTH HAS BEEN ILL TODAY.
YES, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR CONCERN.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU COME IN.
CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?
I'VE A MEETING
WITH MR. NORTH.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S VERY LATE AND MR. NORTH
HAS BEEN ILL TODAY.
HE'S CANCELLED ALL
OF HIS MEETINGS.
I THINK HE'LL WANNA SEE ME.
I THINK YOU'RE MISTAKEN.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
ASK YOU TO LEAVE.
I'M CALLING SECURITY.
BEAU, MY BOY.
I'M SORRY, MR. NORTH.
HE JUST--
RELAX, JANET, BEAU IS ALWAYS
WELCOME HERE.
COME ON IN.
BUT, MR. NORTH.
RELAX, JANET.
Attention, all personnel.
Stand by, we'll be switching
over to backup generators.
MR. HENDERSON, ISN'T IT?
I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT WHAT DR. MORAN SAID
ABOUT THE RH-NEGATIVE PATIENTS.
PERHAPS SOME COMPREHENSIVE TESTS
ARE IN ORDER, AND SO I'VE--
THAT'S GOOD,
BUT WHY ISN'T THE CORONER
DOING THE AUTOPSY?
BECAUSE I THOUGHT
I'D HANDLE IT PERSONALLY.
( thunder crashes )
( alarm blaring )
( men shouting )
IS EVERYTHING OKAY IN HERE?
YEAH, EVERYTHING'S FINE.
( knocking on door )
ANDIE, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
JOHN, I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE
ELSE TO GO.
CAN I COME IN?
YEAH, YEAH, WHAT HAPPENED?
DID YOU GET IN A FIGHT?
NO, IT'S JUST MY PARENTS.
THEY'RE LIKE--
I MEAN, ONE MINUTE
THEY'RE LIKE--
CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN.
JUST TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
JOHN, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
I DON'T KNOW, MOM.
SHE'S IN TROUBLE.
WELL, WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?
I WOKE UP, AND MY PARENTS
WERE STANDING OVER MY BED.
AND THEY HAD THIS THING,
THIS ROCK OR SOMETHING,
AND THEY'RE TRYING
TO MAKE ME HOLD IT.
THEN MY DAD, HE JUST GRABS ME.
I'M SO SCARED.
IT'S OKAY, ANDIE.
IT'S OKAY, SWEETHEART.
YOU CAN STAY HERE TONIGHT.
WELL, THIS IS NEW.
I NEVER BOUGHT AN AIR FORCE BASE
BEFORE.
THE SCHEMATICS.
PERFECT.
MR. NORTH.
WELCOME TO PHOENIX.
COLONEL, A PLEASURE.
THANKS FOR MEETING US
ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
NO PROBLEM.
THANK YOU.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE
TO YOU BEAU STARK.
WHY DON'T I SHOW YOU AROUND?
SERGEANT, TAKE US OUT
TO THE FIELD.
YES, SIR.
DR. MORAN.
YES.
I'M WALTER KIRKLAND,
THE PHOENIX REPRESENTATIVE
FOR THE CDC.
I'M GLAD THAT YOU COULD MAKE
IT ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
PART OF THE JOB.
CARE TO SHOW ME WHAT YOU HAVE?
YES, RIGHT THIS WAY.
IT'S RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
IN MY 20 YEARS,
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING QUITE
LIKE THIS.
DR. MORAN,
COULD I TALK WITH YOU A SECOND?
NO, I'M SORRY,
BUT I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE A MEETING--
OKAY, PLEASE, PLEASE.
IT'S IMPORTANT.
EXCUSE ME, DR. KIRKLAND,
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
YES, CERTAINLY.
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
HE'S WITH THE CDC.
OKAY, YOU CAN'T TRUST HAYDEN.
REMEMBER THAT POWER OUTAGE
LAST NIGHT?
YES.
WELL, I WAS WALKING
PAST THE MORGUE
AND I SAW HAYDEN IN THERE,
AUTOPSYING THAT BODY.
HAYDEN?
YEAH,
IT'S THAT RH-NEGATIVE THING.
WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S THROWING
THEM, TOO.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YES, DR. KIRKLAND.
I'LL BE WITH YOU
IN JUST A MINUTE.
OKAY, THE CRAZY THING IS
THAT WHEN I TRIED
TO GO IN THERE,
HE ACTUALLY TRIED TO--
LET'S JUST KEEP THIS QUIET
FOR NOW, ALL RIGHT?
DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
OF COURSE I DO,
BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK THEY
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING THE FLU,
AND THEN LATER WE'LL DEAL
WITH THE LITTLE BLACK STONES.
OKAY, I'M GONNA FIND OUT
WHAT I CAN.
OKAY.
I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL LATER.
ALL RIGHT, GO.
SHE FELL VICTIM TO THE WHOLE
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT DOWNSIZING
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY
BIG ENEMIES TO FIGHT ANYMORE.
WELL, KEEP INVESTIGATING.
BLOOD TYPE SHOULDN'T MATTER.
I DON'T WANT ANY LOOSE ENDS,
AND I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO WAIT
FOR AN ANSWER.
( beeps )
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU
INTERESTED IN THE BASE FOR,
MR. NORTH?
THOSE HANGARS.
WE WANNA SEE THEM.
I THOUGHT WE WOULD LOOK
AT THE BASE HEADQUARTERS.
THE HANGARS WILL BE FINE,
COLONEL.
SERGEANT,
TAKE US TO THE HANGARS.
YES, SIR.
DOCTOR.
SOMEONE FROM THE CDC IS HERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
IN ALL OF THESE CASES,
THE ONLY NOTICEABLE ABERRATION
IS THE PRESENCE OF SOME UNUSUAL
BUT HARMLESS EXCESS ENZYMES
IN THE SUBJECT'S BLOOD.
AND YOU SAY THE PATIENTS
ALL EXHIBITED
RECOGNIZABLE FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS?
YES, THEY DID.
MUCUS DISCHARGE,
UPPER RESPIRATORY CONSTRICTION.
THESE BODIES ARE DEFINITELY
TRYING TO THROW SOMETHING
OFF HERE.
AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER,
THEY'RE FINE.
IN FACT, BETTER THAN FINE.
ONCE RECOVERED,
THEY EXHIBIT A KIND OF EUPHORIA
WITH INCREASED ENERGY LEVELS.
DOCTOR, I'D LIKE YOU
TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
WHAT ABOUT THE PATIENTS
WITH THE RH-NEGATIVE BLOOD
FACTORS?
YOU THINK THAT THEIR DEATHS
ARE SOMEHOW RELATED TO THIS FLU?
WELL, IT'S ALL ANECDOTAL
OBSERVATION, BUT IN EVERY CASE,
THE SUBJECTS DID TEST OUT
WITH THE SAME INCREASED ENZYMES
IN THEIR BLOOD.
AND SINCE THEN,
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MORE
UNEXPLAINED DEATHS.
RH-NEGATIVE DEATHS.
YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANY
OTHER REPORTS LIKE THIS?
NO. IN FACT,
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS.
DR. MORAN, I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE--
YOU MUST BE FROM THE CDC.
I'M DR. PHILLIP HAYDEN,
CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR
OF THE HOSPITAL.
WALTER KIRKLAND.
WELL, DON'T LET ME INTERRUPT.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU
HAD ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
THAT YOU NEEDED.
I SEE THAT YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
DON'T WORRY, PHILLIP.
WE'LL MAKE SURE
THAT HE KNOWS EVERYTHING.
AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND,
THE GOVERNMENT IS EXPECTED
TO SELL THIS PROPERTY
TO SOME SORT OF DEVELOPER
OR MANUFACTURING FIRM.
PERSONALLY, I THINK
A GOLF RESORT'S THE WAY TO GO.
YOU AGREE, SERGEANT?
YES, SIR.
AND THIS WILL BE MY GATEWAY.
WE'LL TAKE IT.
I GUESS I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED
AS TO WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE.
WE NEED TO TAKE POSSESSION
IMMEDIATELY.
HOW WOULD WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN?
YOU CAN'T.
THIS IS A FORMER
DEFENSE INSTALLATION.
THERE ARE PERMITS
AND CLEARANCES.
I'M AFRAID WE DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THAT, COLONEL.
THANK YOU.
OW!
SERGEANT, YOUR SIDEARM!
STAY WITH THE COLONEL
UNTIL HE CHANGES HIS MIND.
YES, SIR.
KINSELLA, ARE YOU READY?
YEAH.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?
NO IDEA.
CAPTAIN TOLD ME TO HOLD ONTO 'EM
SO I'M HOLDING ON TO 'EM.
LITTLE ROCKS?
YEAH.
IF HE WANTS THEM SO BAD,
HE CAN KEEP THEM.
DAMN THINGS CUT ME 10 TIMES.
THEY CUT YOU?
YEAH, 10 TIMES.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
( sighs )
( coughing )
WHAT? YOU GOT THAT FLU
THAT'S GOING AROUND?
DOESN'T FEEL LIKE
ANY FLU I'VE EVER HAD.
KINSELLA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT
OR WHAT?
YEAH.
( horns honking )
GOD.
HEY, YOU'RE DRIVING A LITTLE
WEIRD THERE.
( coughing )
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
KINSELLA, LET ME TAKE IT.
TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS.
( screaming )
TRUST ME, KINSELLA, DO IT!
WHAT THE HECK'S WRONG
WITH YOU, KINSELLA? WATCH IT!
WHAT'S HAPPENING?!
THEY'RE BLACK STONES.
LITTLE BLACK STONES.
THEY'RE ABOUT A HALF AN INCH
IN DIAMETER.
MOM, I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY,
BUT YOU GOTTA TRUST ME NOW.
I WANT YOU TO GO OVER,
GET UNCLE DAVE,
GO TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE
AND STAY THERE.
NO, I'M GONNA STAY IN PHOENIX.
I HAVE TO FIND BEAU, MOM.
HEY,
YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE NOT
OVERREACTING A LITTLE HERE?
I MEAN, THIS IS PRETTY WAY OUT
OF LINE.
A FLU THAT CHANGES PEOPLE.
COME ON, CASS.
THAT'S MR. SANCHEZ.
HE'S ONE OF MY REGULARS.
GOOD NIGHT, MR. SANCHEZ.
BUENAS NOCHES.
CASS, I THINK YOU'RE BLOWING
THIS WAY OUT OF PROPORTION.
DETECTIVE KEMPER.
YEAH.
I'M SORRY, BUT YOUR FRIEND
DIDN'T MAKE IT.
WOULD YOU LIKE US
TO NOTIFY HIS FAMILY?
NO, I'LL DO IT.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIM?
WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
WE KNOW THAT HE HAD THE SAME
UNNATURAL ENZYME IN HIS BLOOD
AS THE MAN THAT YOU BROUGHT IN
LAST NIGHT.
UNNATURAL ENZYME?
IS THAT WHAT KILLED HIM?
WE DON'T KNOW YET.
YEAH, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT
OTHER GUY'S BLOOD TYPE
WAS RH-NEGATIVE,
AND YOUR FRIEND'S WASN'T.
RH-NEGATIVE?
WHY IS THAT
SO IMPORTANT ALL OF A SUDDEN?
I'M RH-NEGATIVE.
WELL, WE DON'T KNOW IF IT
MEANS SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
YOU DON'T KNOW?
IT'S GOTTA BE THOSE ENZYMES
THAT ARE IN THOSE BLACK STONES,
THE ONLY CONSISTENT FACTOR.
WAIT.
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE STONES?
KINSELLA TOLD ME THAT HE HAD
A SLEW OF THESE STONES IN A BOX.
HE SAID THAT THEY STUCK HIM
LIKE A DOZEN TIMES.
YEAH, AND HE HAD MORE
OF THE ENZYME IN HIS BLOOD
THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.
MAYBE HE OVERDOSED ON
THEM SOMEHOW. YOU THINK?
YOUR FRIEND WHO HAD THESE
STONES, WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
AT THE PRECINCT.
CAN WE GET A HOLD
OF ONE OF THEM?
YEAH, BUT HOW SAFE IS IT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
NOT MUCH.
AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED,
JUST BE CAREFUL.
BY SATURDAY, THEN WE DEAL
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, OKAY?
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
HEY, FRANK.
HOW'S IT GOING?
FINE, CAPTAIN, THANKS.
HEY, CAPTAIN.
( whispering )
HEY, LET'S GO!
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
( engine turns over )
KEMPER!
IT WAS PRESSED UP
AGAINST MY SKIN
AND IT OPENED UP, AND THEN
THIS NEEDLE THING CAME OUT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS,
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A ROCK.
I'LL DO A COMPREHENSIVE
ON THIS RIGHT AWAY.
IN THE MEANTIME,
WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO
WITH THIS?
IT'S NOT WHAT ARE WE GONNA
DO WITH IT.
QUESTION IS,
WHAT'S IT PLANNING TO DO TO US?
SEE, THAT'S THE ONE
RIGHT THERE.
ARE WE ON SCHEDULE?
CONSTRUCTION WILL BE READY
IN 10 DAYS.
FOUR DAYS.
THE GATEWAY WILL OPEN
IN FOUR DAYS.
FINE.
RECRUIT MORE OF THEM
IF YOU HAVE TO.
FOUR DAYS.
BEAU.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN THEN?
THEN THE NEW WORLD BEGINS.
CASSY WINSLOW.
HAVE YOU LOCATED HER?
NO, WE HAVE PEOPLE LOOKING
AT YOUR OLD HOUSE,
LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL--
I DON'T NEED
THE EXCUSES, REALLY.
WHAT I NEED IS FOR YOU
TO FIND HER FOR ME.
OH, I'LL FIND HER.
SO I CALLED ANDIE, LIKE,
THREE TIMES TODAY, AND SHE
DIDN'T PICK UP THE PHONE.
REALLY?
JOHN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I NEED TO SPEAK
TO YOUR MOTHER,
BUT I'VE GOTTA KNOW
IF SHE'S ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "ALL RIGHT"?
IS SHE ALL RIGHT, JOHN?
JOHN, DON'T FORGET TO BRING--
( camera shutter clicks )
LISTEN, IT'S HAPPENING ALL
THROUGH PHOENIX.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
ARE BEING INFECTED.
IT'S NOT JUST THE FLU.
IT'S BIGGER THAN THAT.
IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
MRS. OCHOA,
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DO,
YOUR LAB WORK,
AND YOUR HUSBAND, A PHYSICIST,
I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE
YOU COULD HELP US OUT.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WE
COULD DO.
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL,
IT'S STILL JUST THEORY.
COME ON, MOM.
YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST LIKE WHAT
I SAID ABOUT ANDIE'S PARENTS.
I MEAN,
WE SHOULD DO WHAT WE CAN.
HOW COULD WE HELP?
I'M WORKING
WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
EXACTLY WHAT THIS PHENOMENON IS.
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MEET
WITH US AND, I PROMISE YOU,
AFTERWARDS, YOU WON'T
HAVE ANY DOUBTS.
THESE ARE THE SURVEILLANCE
PHOTOS THAT YOU REQUESTED.
BEAU.
I'M SORRY,
BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
YOU THINK THAT THERE'S SOME KIND
OF VIRUS OUT THERE
THAT MAKES PEOPLE CHANGE?
IT INDUCES A FORM
OF PSYCHOSIS, YES.
EUGENE, YOU SAID YOURSELF
HOW STRANGELY DOUG MOFFET'S
BEEN ACTING
AND CAROLYN AND PETE NEXT DOOR.
YEAH,
AND WHAT ABOUT ANDIE'S PARENTS?
WE ANALYZED A SAMPLE
OF THE FLUID THAT WE FOUND
INSIDE OF THE STONES.
AND WE FOUND THE EXACT SAME
ENZYMES IN EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF THE FLU VICTIMS' BLOOD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE.
THIS ENZYME DOESN'T EXIST.
YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T EXIST
ON THIS PLANET.
OH, COME ON, PLEASE.
LET'S AT LEAST STAY WITHIN
THE REALM OF REALITY HERE.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT, EITHER,
TILL I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND A SAFE
PLACE TO STAY, YOU GUYS.
WHAT ABOUT THE HOSPITAL?
WE CAN GO HOME,
PICK UP SOME THINGS TO MAKE DO
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
RIGHT, WE'LL HOLE UP
IN THE LAB AND WE'LL GET
AS MUCH DATA AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.
( doorbell rings )
WE CAN'T TRUST ANYONE
IN PHOENIX, NOT ANYMORE.
IT'S JUST SOMEBODY
AT THE DOOR.
PROBABLY E.T. MAKING
A HOUSE CALL.
PETE, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
JUDY AND I WERE GONNA
PLAY A LITTLE BRIDGE.
THOUGHT WE'D SEE IF YOU
AND NANCY WANTED TO JOIN US.
MAYBE SOME OTHER NIGHT.
TONIGHT'S NOT SO GOOD FOR US.
OH, YOU HAVE COMPANY OVER?
NO, IT'S JUST US, YOU KNOW,
BUT--
MAYBE WE COULD HAVE
A QUICK DRINK.
NO, PETE.
HOW ABOUT I CALL YOU TOMORROW
AND WE'LL DO IT
TOMORROW NIGHT, OKAY?
BUT THANKS.
( tires screech )
HELLO, CASSY.
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SEE ME.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, BEAU?
I CAME BACK FOR YOU.
DIDN'T YOU MISS ME?
YOU AND I BELONG TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?
COME ON, CASS.
I WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF THIS.
PART OF WHAT, BEAU?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
IT'S A WHOLE NEW ERA.
EVOLUTION.
IT'S THE OLD MAKING WAY
FOR THE NEW.
DON'T YOU SEE?
I'M THE ONE
WHO'S GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I'M THE KEY.
ALL I SEE IS A SICK MAN.
THIS ISN'T THE MAN
THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH.
NO, HE WAS WEAK.
I'M STRONG.
I CAN GIVE YOU THE WORLD.
I CAN GIVE YOU MANY WORLDS.
I DON'T WANT THE WORLD.
I WANT BEAU BACK.
YOU CAN'T STOP IT, CASSY.
NO ONE CAN.
IT'S NOT EVEN DENTING
THE THING.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE IT.
YOU SEE?
I TOLD YOU IT WAS ALIEN.
YOU GUYS SHOULD GO AHEAD
AND PACK UP.
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
DONNA. DONNA, NO.
DONNA, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
PULL SOME STRINGS.
I NEED THREE SEATS
ON A FLIGHT TO ATLANTA TONIGHT.
SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
THAT IT'S BEEN THERE ALL ALONG?
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I'M SAYING.
THE VIRUS IS ALREADY IN OUR DNA.
NORMALLY, DOCTORS
AND LAB WORKERS JUST IGNORE IT
BECAUSE IT'S JUST ALWAYS BEEN
THERE.
SO THE ENZYME IN THOSE
LITTLE ROCKS IS THE CATALYST?
RIGHT.
THEN THIS VIRUS
IS INSIDE ALL OF US.
YEAH.
BUT NOW WE KNOW WHAT IT'S DOING.
IT'S BEEN WAITING.
( knock on door )
IT'S CASSY.
HEY, CASS, WHERE WERE YOU?
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
PITT, I SAW HIM.
I SAW BEAU.
WHEN, JUST NOW?
AT THE APARTMENT, PITT.
HE'S CHANGING.
PHYSICALLY CHANGING, HIS EYES,
HIS HANDS.
HE'S MUTATING
INTO SOMETHING ELSE.
WE'RE AT THE HOSPITAL.
WE HAVE CONFIRMED THEY'RE
ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
OKAY.
STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK
FROM THE BOYS.
YOU'RE ON THE RED EYE
TO ATLANTA,
BUT IT LEAVES IN 35 MINUTES.
WE'LL BE MAKING OUR CASE
TO THE CDC BY MORNING.
LET'S GET MOVING.
LET'S GET THESE FILES.
WE GOTTA HURRY. COME ON.
GREAT.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN MAKE IT
OUT RUNNING LIKE A PACK.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL GET THESE GUYS
TO THE AIRPORT,
AND I'LL MEET YOU LATER.
OKAY, WE'LL TAKE
THE BACK STAIRS.
NOW DO YOU KNOW THAT DINER DOWN
ON UNIVERSITY?
YES.
ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL MEET YOU THERE LATER THEN.
WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM HERE.
DON'T WORRY, MOM.
I'M GONNA BE OKAY.
YOU GOTTA GO.
EVERYBODY'S DEPENDING ON YOU.
HE'S RIGHT. WE HAVE TO GO.
LET'S GO NOW.
I LOVE YOU, MOM.
( siren wailing )
THERE'S MY CAR.
IT'S OVER THERE.
ANDIE.
THEY'RE HERE!
COME ON, JOHN. COME ON.
BE CAREFUL, ALL RIGHT?
WE DON'T KNOW
HOW FAR THIS THING GOES.
WISH US LUCK.
WE'RE GONNA NEED A LOT MORE
THAN LUCK.
( gasps )
OPEN UP, DENICE.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, OPEN UP!
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
TO YOU GUYS?
LOCK THE DOORS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
JUST DO IT, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT.
PITT, YOU GOT IT?
WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE
TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON.
HOW WILL WE KNOW IF
THEY EVEN MADE IT TO ATLANTA?
WHEN THEY FIND SOMETHING
OUT, THEY'RE GONNA LET US KNOW
ABOUT IT, ALL RIGHT?
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU GUYS ARE ALL NUTS.
THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU.
DENICE.
COPS. GET DOWN, GET DOWN.
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY
TO ATLANTA.
THE REST ARE HERE WITH ME.
EXCELLENT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY TO ATLANTA.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WHAT THE HELL IS IT?
I DON'T THINK
I REALLY WANNA KNOW.
IT HAS BEGUN.
Although reports are
scattered, the meteor shower
has been seen
as far away as Los Angeles
and Las Vegas.
We will keep you updated
as word--
( clicks )
DENICE.
HEY, WITH ALL THAT'S
GOING DOWN LATELY,
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE HUNGRY.
YOU'RE A LIFESAVER.
CAN I GIVE YOU A HAND?
NO, I'M ALMOST DONE.
OKAY.
ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES,
YOU WOULD'VE MISSED ME.
IT'S BEEN SO DEAD AROUND HERE.
IT'S BEEN DEAD ALL OVER.
YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?
OH, GOD. OH, GOD, NO.
NOT YOU, DENICE.
NO! ( screaming )
CASSY!
DENICE!
PITT! PITT!
( horn honks )
IS SHE STILL ALIVE?
OH, GOD.
GUYS, COME QUICK.
IT'S KEMPER!
COME ON. COME ON, LET'S GO.
HURRY.
OH, GOOD, IT IS HIM.
You have been selected
to work here at the Institute.
Proceed to Area 15
for registration.
KEEP MOVING, PEOPLE.
All construction workers
and electricians report
to Area 6.
I repeat.
Proceed to Area 15
for registration.
WE NEED YOU!
All construction workers
and electricians report
to Area 6.
COME BACK!
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MINDS
IN THE WORLD, FIND ME AN ANSWER.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC
HARDWARE WE FOUND SO FAR
IS WAY BENEATH
THE SOPHISTICATION LEVEL
THAT WE NEED.
WELL, IF WE DON'T HAVE IT,
THEN FABRICATE IT.
IF I HAVE TO DO IT ALL MYSELF,
WHAT GOOD ARE YOU TO ME?
I'LL FIND THE EQUIPMENT.
THE GATEWAY MUST BE
OPERATIONAL IN THREE DAYS.
FINE.
THREE DAYS.
JUST RECEIVED A MESSAGE
FROM ATLANTA.
THEY'VE ARRIVED.
GOOD.
FIND OUT WHAT THEY KNOW
AND THEN BRING THEM TO ME.
I COULD USE SOME WORKERS
WITH SOME INITIATIVE.
OKAY.
YOU SEE, THE COMPOSITION
OF THESE DEVICES ISN'T SOMETHING
OUR CURRENT SCIENCE CAN EVEN
DUPLICATE. PLEASE, TAKE A LOOK.
EXCUSE ME, SIR, HERE ARE
THE DOCUMENTS YOU WANTED.
AND THEY CARRY ENZYMES
THAT AWAKEN A VIRUS IN OUR DNA.
A VIRUS
OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL NATURE.
I KNOW HOW IT SOUNDS,
BUT IF YOU'LL LOOK
AT THESE REPORTS,
IT'S ALL DOCUMENTED.
THIS IS STILL VERY SKETCHY.
HOWEVER, IT'S COMPELLING ENOUGH
TO WARRANT A TRIP TO PHOENIX
TO SEE JUST WHAT THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
YOU FOLKS HAVE DONE
SOME VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK.
NO, THEY DON'T HAVE
AN APPOINTMENT,
BUT I'M SURE THEY'RE THERE.
NOW, PLEASE,
IT'S EXTREMELY URGENT
THAT I TALK WITH THEM.
I'm sorry, sir, but there's
nobody here by those names.
But if you give me your name
and phone number,
I'll see if I can--
I THINK THEY'RE ALREADY
IN TROUBLE.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
HAVE YOU ACTUALLY OBSERVED
THE COUPLED REACTION
OF THE ENZYME IN PROGRESS?
ANY ELECTRON MICROGRAPHS
OF THE VIRION ITSELF,
AWAY FROM THE HOST CELL?
AND HOW MANY OTHERS
HAVE YOU TOLD ABOUT THIS?
WE CAME STRAIGHT TO YOU, SIR.
THAT'S GOOD.
GIVEN THE SITUATION
IN PHOENIX, WE DECIDED
TO COME DIRECTLY HERE,
HOPING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
GOTTEN REPORTS LIKE THIS
FROM OTHER PLACES.
OF COURSE, WE'VE MADE COPIES
OF ALL OF OUR WORK.
WE NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW.
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TELL US
WHERE THESE COPIES ARE.
BEST KEEP THIS UNDER WRAPS.
WE DON'T HAVE THEM ANYMORE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE SENT COPIES OF OUR WORK
TO OTHER LABS FOR TESTING.
DR. MORAN,
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
DR. KIRKLAND,
I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU HERE.
I'M SURE YOU ARE.
EXCUSE US.
DO YOU THINK THEY BELIEVED
THE PART ABOUT SENDING REPORTS
TO THE OTHER LABS?
WHO KNOWS?
THE WORST PART IS
THAT THEY KNOW THAT WE KNOW.
WE NEED TO WARN THE OTHERS.
LOOK, THERE'S A PHONE
OVER THERE.
GREAT.
SEE ANYTHING ON YOUR END,
SIR?
NO VISUAL CONTACT HERE.
WE CAN'T LET THEM LEAVE.
WE GOT COMPANY.
I'VE GOT VISUAL CONTACT
RIGHT NOW.
THEY'RE HEADING OUT OF THE PARK.
MOVE!
GET OUT OF THE WAY.
HEY, MAN!
MOVE!
( horn honks )
WATCH IT!
THIS WAY. COME ON.
WATCH IT!
WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?!
HERE. BEHIND HERE.
I'LL COVER THIS AREA.
YOU GO DOWN THERE.
GOT IT.
WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
LOOK.
THERE'S A FENCE OVER THERE.
THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY
THROUGH IT.
IT'S ALL CLEAR HERE.
ARE YOU COMING WITH US?
GO, GO. YES, YES. GO!
GO!
EUGENE!
( screams )
EUGENE! EUGENE!
EUGENE!
THIS WAY. DON'T LOOK BACK.
EUGENE!
JUST GO.
The president has cancelled
plans to attend the multination
summit that he himself
organized, blaming a sudden bout
of flu.
According to the White House
press secretary...
( telephone rings )
...all his appointments have
been indefinitely postponed
at this time.
The president's position...
NO, DON'T BOTHER.
THEY'LL COME BACK TO PHOENIX.
THEY'LL WANNA REGROUP
WITH WHOEVER IT IS
THEY'RE WORKING WITH
AND WE'LL SOLVE THE PROBLEM
THEN. YES.
Outbreak of this mysterious
flu has continued to baffle...
( theme music playing )

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL
IS UP THERE, BUT YOU BETTER HAVE
THE NAVY CHECK IT OUT.
IT'S BIG.
ROGER, LOOKING GLASS.
IT'S ENTERING THE ATMOSPHERE
NOW.
WE'RE GETTING ONE HELL
OF A READING DOWN HERE.
LOOKING GLASS,
THIS IS NAVY TOMCAT ONE.
THAT'S A NEGATIVE ON THE BOGIE,

THIS IS TOMCAT TWO, CONCUR.
NOTHING UP HERE BUT SKY.
WE'RE HEADING BACK TO MOTHER.
( alarm blaring )
STAND BY.
WE'LL BE SWITCHING OVER
TO EMERGENCY POWER GRID.
( whistle blows )
WHOA!
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHAT THE HECK?
I DON'T KNOW. IT'S ALL RIGHT.
MUST HAVE JUST FORGOT
TO PAY THE LIGHT BILL THIS TIME.
ALL RIGHT, EVERYBODY,
KEEP THE CONCENTRATION.
GET READY.
BIG GUYS ARE GONNA JUMP HERE.
YOU READY?
HEY, COME ON!
THERE YOU GO.
I WISH YOU GUYS LISTENED
TO ME THAT WELL.
HERE WE GO.

TABLE TWO. HEADS UP.
HI, GUYS.
HEY.
HEY, OUR BOOTH IS EMPTY.
YEAH, I'M JUST GONNA TRY
NORTH'S OFFICE ONE MORE TIME.
YOU ARE OBSESSED
WITH THIS INTERVIEW.
NO, THE ONLY THING
I'M OBSESSED WITH IS YOU.
HEY, GUYS, GET A ROOM, OKAY?
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO EAT HERE.
SHE'S JUST JEALOUS.
TOLD YOU HE'D DO IT.
HE PROPOSED?
YES.
OH, GOD.
HI, YEAH.
MY NAME IS BEAU STARK.
I SENT A RESUME TO THE NORTH
FOUNDATION
A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO.
OH, YOU DID?
SURE, YEAH, I'M--
I'M FREE.
SO WHEN'S THE BIG DAY?
WE DON'T KNOW.
WE HAVEN'T SET ONE.
BEAU'S TRYING TO GET THIS JOB,
BUT WE'LL KNOW IN A COUPLE
OF WEEKS.
DOES IT GET ANY BETTER THAN
THIS, HUH?
A BEAUTIFUL CITY,
A BEAUTIFUL MORNING
AND TWO BEAUTIFUL LADIES.
OH, YOU ARE SO FULL OF IT.
PITT, SUBTLETY.
THOUGHT I WAS TRYING.
WASN'T I?
WHY DON'T YOU TRY IT?
IT WORKS.
WHERE'S BEAU?
I GOTTA SEE IF HE
CAN GIVE ME A RIDE TO WORK.
HE'S ON THE PHONE.
HE'LL BE RIGHT BACK, THOUGH.
OH, MY GOD.
YOU GOT A HANGNAIL.
PITT!
IS THAT A RING
ON YOUR FINGER?
YES, IT'S A RING ON MY--
YES, IT'S A RING
ON HER FINGER.
WAIT'LL YOU SEE THE BELLS
I'M GONNA PUT ON HER TOES.
I GOT THE INTERVIEW.
YOU DID?
WITH THE NORTH FOUNDATION?
MM-HMM.
WELL, CAN I AT LEAST
COME ON THE HONEYMOON?
NO.
NO.
MOM, COME ON.
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT.
I'M GONNA BE LATE.
WELL, DON'T FORGET WE HAVE
DINNER WITH AUNT CELIA--
TONIGHT?
YES.
I'M NOT SURE I CAN MAKE IT.
THEY'VE ASKED A FEW OF US
AT THE PHYSICS DEPARTMENT
TO LOOK INTO
THE POWER OUTAGES
FROM LAST NIGHT.
WELL, WILL YOU AT LEAST TRY?
YOU KNOW HOW AUNT CELIA GETS.
YEAH, I KNOW HOW SHE GETS,
BUT I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL, OKAY?
BYE, HONEY.
BYE.
BYE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
COME ON, MOM.
DAD, TELL HER SHE DRIVES
TOO SLOW.
YOU DRIVE TOO SLOW.
I DRIVE THE SPEED LIMIT.
MOM, SPEED LIMITS ARE JUST
GUIDELINES.
SO NOW IF YOU GET THIS NEW
JOB, YOU GONNA
BE LEAVING PHOENIX?
YEAH, I GUESS.
I MEAN,
I REALLY DON'T HAVE ANY FAMILY
OR ANYTHING TO KEEP ME, SO--
HMM?
EXCEPT YOU.
WHAT ABOUT THE YOUTH CENTER?
YOU'LL BE KIND OF HARD
TO REPLACE.
LOOK,
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME, MAN?
I CANNOT STAY THERE FOREVER.
THEY'RE GONNA FIND SOMEBODY ELSE
TO DO IT.
HEY, I'M JUST JOKING.
I'M JUST JOKING, ALL RIGHT?
YOU KNOW WHAT?
I FORGOT MY GLASSES.
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
HE'S NOT JUST JOKING.
BEAU, YOU SHOULD NOT FEEL
GUILTY.
THIS IS A MILLION-DOLLAR
FOUNDATION.
IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY.
I DON'T FEEL GUILTY.
YES, YOU DO.
NO, I DON'T.
YES, YOU DO.
WHY IS IT YOU CAN READ ME
SO EASY?
LOTS OF PRACTICE.
I GUESS.
YOU KNOW, IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU,
I WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE
THE CONFIDENCE
TO GO AFTER THIS JOB
IN THE FIRST PLACE.
OF COURSE YOU WOULD.
JUST THINK ABOUT ALL THE GREAT
THINGS YOU'RE GONNA DO,
NOT ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA
LEAVE BEHIND.
BEAU, LISTEN.
THIS ISN'T AN OPPORTUNITY
THAT COMES ALONG EVERY DAY.
AND YOU KNOW HOW LONG
YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.
I JUST THINK THAT YOU SHOULD--
WHAT HAPPENED?
( sucks ) I DON'T KNOW.
SOMETHING STUCK ME.
ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I GUESS.
HEY, I GOT 'EM.
YOU READY?
YEAH, LET'S GET GOING, GUYS.
I'M GONNA BE LATE FOR WORK.
YEAH, LET'S GO.
BEAU, ARE YOU OKAY?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
DR. MORAN,
I WAS WONDERING IF YOU HAD
A CHANCE TO WRITE THAT
REC LETTER FOR MY RESIDENCY.
IT'S DUE PRETTY SOON,
SO I JUST THOUGHT I'D CHECK.
PERHAPS YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED
THAT I'M IN THE MIDDLE
OF RUNNING AN E.R. UNIT RIGHT
NOW, AND YOU BEING LATE
FOR YOUR SHIFT ISN'T EXACTLY
EARNING YOU HIGH MARKS
AS FAR AS RECOMMENDATIONS GO.
YOU DID PROMISE THE LETTER
LAST WEEK.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'LL DO IT TONIGHT.
HE MUST THINK I'VE BECOME
A REAL PAIN.
MORE THAN USUAL?
I'LL TELL YA.
IT'S THE DIVORCE.
ONCE IT'S OVER, YOU'LL BE FINE.
IT IS OVER.
AS OF YESTERDAY,
I'M OFFICIALLY A FREE WOMAN.
IS IT TOO SOON TO TELL YOU
ABOUT THIS GREAT GUY I WANT YOU
TO MEET?
THAT'S THE SCARIEST THING
I'VE HEARD ALL DAY.
( bell ringing )
YOU GUYS WERE DISCUSSING
FAULKNER, RIGHT?
( laughing, chattering )
I KNOW IT'S COOL
TO TORTURE THE SUBSTITUTE,
BUT I CAN MAKE THIS FUN
OR PAINFUL.
MR. PARTRIDGE.
DON'T MIND ME, MISS WINSLOW,
PLEASE CONTINUE.
RIGHT.
WILLIAM FAULKNER.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME
SOMETHING ABOUT FAULKNER?
ANYTHING AT ALL ABOUT FAULKNER?
YEAH, HE WAS AN AMERICAN
WRITER.
THAT'S RIGHT...
JOHN.
WHAT ELSE?
WELL, YEAH, HE WAS KNOWN
FOR HIS VIVID CHARACTERIZATIONS
IN NOVELS AND SHORT STORIES.
RIGHT.
VIVID CHARACTERS WITHIN
A COMPLEX STORY STRUCTURE.
NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT
"A ROSE FOR EMILY."
JOHN.
SORRY TO INTERRUPT.
I JUST WANTED
TO THANK YOU FOR TODAY.
YOU SAVED MY SKIN.
SURE, IT WAS NOTHING.
THIS IS MY MOM.
MISS WINSLOW'S OUR SUB.
HI.
BRAVE SOUL. NANCY OCHOA.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
YOU WORK AT ASHLAND-FINCH.
YES, DO YOU KNOW IT?
YEAH, MY FATHER USED TO WORK
IN PHARMACEUTICALS.
HE PASSED AWAY A COUPLE
OF YEARS AGO.
( horn honks )
THAT'S MY RIDE.
IT WAS A PLEASURE TO MEET YOU
AND THANKS AGAIN.
I OWE YOU ONE.
BEAU, YOU LOOK TERRIBLE.
WHAT HAPPENED?
I DON'T KNOW.
I JUST CAME UNDER
A COUPLE OF HOURS AGO.
YOU'RE FREEZING.
MOVE OVER.
I'M GONNA TAKE YOU HOME.
OKAY.
( groaning )
OH!
( groaning )
OH, MY GOD.
BEAU. BEAU.
HONEY, WHAT'S WRONG?
OH, GOD.
I'M SCARED.
SHH. IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
SHH. SHH.
HEY, CASSY.
I JUST TALKED TO THE DOCTOR.
HE SAID THE INITIAL TEST RESULTS
DON'T REVEAL ANYTHING CONTAGIOUS
AND HIS VITALS DON'T SHOW HIM TO
BE IN ANY KIND OF DANGER.
SO, BASICALLY, HE'S JUST GOT
SOME REALLY NASTY FLU SYMPTOMS.
DOES HE HAVE TO SPEND
THE NIGHT HERE TONIGHT?
OH, NO.
THE DOCTOR SAID GO AHEAD
AND TAKE HIM HOME.
PLENTY OF FLUIDS, PLENTY OF
REST, AND IF YOU WANT,
I CAN GIVE YOU A CALL
IN THE MORNING
WITH THE FINAL TEST RESULTS,
BUT...
OKAY, THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
( thunder crashing )
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
BEAU, HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
I'M GOOD.
YEAH?
YEAH.
COME ON.
COME ON, SWEETIE, LET'S GO.
HERE.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
I DON'T KNOW. I FEEL LIKE
I'M LEAVING SOMETHING BEHIND.
NO, SWEETHEART.
I'VE GOT IT ALL.
YEAH?
YEAH, COME ON.
( rustling )
( screaming )
YOU HAD ME WORRIED.
NAH, DON'T BE WORRIED.
EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE JUST FINE.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU, TOO.
WHAT'S WRONG?
NOTHING.
BEAU, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?
CASS.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING, BEAU?
COME ON.
I WANT YOU TO SEE SOMETHING.
ARE YOU SURE THAT YOU'RE
FEELING BETTER?
I'M MUCH BETTER.
HURRY, QUICK.
IT'S HAPPENING NOW.
NOW?
YES, RIGHT NOW. COME ON.
RIGHT OVER THERE.
IT'S BEAUTIFUL.
THERE'S MORE.
WAS IT IN THE PAPER
OR SOMETHING?
HOW'D YOU KNOW THAT?
I JUST KNEW.
In other news,
thousands of meteors
were reported over the Phoenix
skies last night.
While scientists
continue to look
for an explanation,
they confirm that no other
cities experienced this strange
phenomenon.
And it is unrelated
to the atmospheric disturbances
noted the night before.
As for today's weather,
temperatures are climbing
in the lower deserts,
while the upper mountains
will remain cool
with very possible strong winds
below the canyons.
Our weekday average temperatures
will be in the 80s,
probable 90s by the weekend,
and overnight lows in the 80s
downtown and low 70s
in the valleys.
( bird squawks )
BEAU, HOW YOU FEELING?
BETTER. MUCH BETTER.
GOOD.
WHY DON'T YOU COME IN
AND WE'LL HAVE BREAKFAST?
LOOKS LIKE THE 4th OF JULY
HAPPENED A LITTLE EARLY, HUH?
I'M NOT SURE JOKES ARE
ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE RIGHT NOW,
MR. HENDERSON.
SORRY.
WHY? WHAT HAPPENED?
THE S.M.A. ON THE 3:00 A.M.
SHIFT FOUND IT LIKE THIS.
THE BODY WAS OVER THERE.
THE BODY?
YES, AN ORDERLY.
HE'D BEEN DEAD A COUPLE
OF HOURS.
A FRIEND OF MINE WAS
A PATIENT IN THIS ROOM
EARLIER TODAY.
WELL, THEN I GUESS HE'S
THE LUCKY ONE.
HE WORKED WITH US
FOR AROUND FIVE YEARS.
YOU PEOPLE CAME THIS MORNING
AND TOOK THE BODY OUT
AT 6:00 A.M.
WASN'T OUR PEOPLE.
WE'RE PHOENIX PD.
CORONER'S OFFICE TOOK THE BODY.
YEAH, WE JUST WANNA KNOW
WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM, OKAY?
THERE'LL BE AN AUTOPSY
AT 4:00 TODAY.
EXCUSE ME, FOLKS. PARDON ME.
EXCUSE ME.
OKAY, PARTNER.
30 YEARS ON THE FORCE.
ALWAYS TELLING ME
YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING THERE IS
TO SEE.
YOU EVER SEE ANYTHING LIKE THIS?
MMM-MMM.
SHEESH.
SOMEBODY GOT A GOOD SMOKE IN.
ALL RIGHT,
ANYBODY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS
ON WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENED HERE?
WE'RE TRYING TO GET SOME
PEOPLE FROM THE PHYSICS
DEPARTMENT OVER HERE
TO TAKE A LOOK.
PHYSICS?
YEAH.
WELL, LOOKS LIKE THE GREATEST
CONCENTRATION OF HEAT WAS HERE,
AND THE BODY POSITIONING WAS
HERE.
SO THE GUY MUST HAVE BEEN
ABOUT 10 OR 12 FEET AWAY
FROM HIM WHEN IT HIT.
IT?
IT. WHATEVER IT WAS.
I'M GONNA BE LATE, SO--
BEAU, HOW ARE YOU DOING THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
ALL RIGHT, WELL,
I'M GONNA GO GET IN THE SHOWER.
BEAU,
WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?
BEAU.
BEAU!
ALL I'M SAYING IS
IT IS NOT LIKE BEAU.
THE WAY HE'S BEEN EATING, PITT.
LIKE HE CAN'T GET ENOUGH.
IT'S ALMOST LIKE HE'S TASTING
SOME OF THE STUFF
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
( men and women coughing )
AND SEXUALLY,
HE'S DIFFERENT.
MORE AGGRESSIVE.
OKAY, WELL, THAT'S A LITTLE
MORE INFORMATION THAN I NEEDED.
HE'S BEEN ACTING STRANGE
EVER SINCE HE HAD THE FLU.
MAYBE IT'S STILL IN HIS SYSTEM.
MAYBE IT DID SOMETHING WEIRD
TO HIM.
CASSY, LOTS OF PEOPLE
GET THE FLU.
THEN WHAT IS IT, PITT?
I'M NOT MAKING THIS UP.
SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH BEAU.
WHY DON'T I TALK WITH HIM?
IT'S NOTHING.
IT'S NOTHING.
HEY.
HEY, WHAT'S UP, ANDIE?
JUST GOING TO THE LIBRARY.
YOU KNOW, I'M SCARED TO DEATH
OF THESE S.A.T.s.
IT'S LIKE I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT
OUR WHOLE FUTURE HINGES
ON THIS ONE STUPID TEST.
I KNOW. MY DAD, LIKE, THINKS
I'M TOTALLY BLOWING IT OFF.
YEAH, WELL, MY MOM,
SHE'S DECIDED TO STUDY WITH ME.
SHE THINKS IT'S GONNA HELP US
BOND.
I JUST WISH MINE
WOULD GIVE ME SOME CREDIT.
I MEAN, I DO HAVE SOME KIND OF
BRAIN IN MY HEAD, YOU KNOW?
( coughing )
CHECK OUT PARTRIDGE.
THERE YOU GO.
YOU'LL BE ALL RIGHT.
( coughing )
OW!
JUST FILL OUT THE FIRST THREE
LINES AND HAVE A SEAT.
WE'LL BE WITH YOU IN A MINUTE.
HEY, PUMPKIN,
WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE MATTER,
HUH? HUH?
I'M NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE WENT IN THE BACKYARD
AND SHE SAID A ROCK BIT HER.
OH, A ROCK BIT YA?
OH, YOU GOTTA WATCH OUT
FOR THOSE.
THEY DO THAT SOMETIMES.
YEAH, AND THEN SHE STARTED
FEELING SICK.
OH, WOW.
( woman screaming )
SOMEBODY, HELP US!
LET'S GET HER DOWN TO E.R.!
PLEASE HELP US.
ALL RIGHT, MOVE.
HERE WE GO.
TREATMENT ROOM ONE.
LET'S GO!
OKAY, TWO MILLIGRAMS
OF ATIVAN.
LET'S GO, PEOPLE!
OKAY, WHO'S WITH THIS LADY?
TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
SHE CAME IN FROM THE GARDEN,
TOLD ME SHE STEPPED ON
SOMETHING.
THEN SHE GOT DIZZY
AND THEN THIS.
RESTRAIN HER.
RESTRAIN HER!
( heart monitor flatlining )
( telephone rings )
( beeps )
GOOD, I'LL BE THERE.
( beeps )
WELL, THAT'S NOT LIKE ANY
BULLET WOUND I'VE EVER SEEN.
AND THERE'S NO BLOOD ANYWHERE.
WHATEVER DID THIS WAS SO DAMN
HOT IT CAUTERIZED THE SITE
INSTANTLY.
AND THEN, OF COURSE, THERE'S
THE WEIRDNESS
WITH THE TOOTH ENAMEL.
MAN.
ALL RIGHT, DOCTOR,
WHAT DO YOU THINK CAUSED THIS?
I GOT MY THEORIES,
BUT YOU'RE NOT GONNA LIKE THEM.
COME ON.
ACUTE RADIATION POISONING.
I TOLD YOU YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT.
LOOK, THE WAY I SEE IT, HERE
IT'S AS IF SOMEBODY DROPPED A
PELLET FULL OF FRESH PLUTONIUM
ON THIS POOR BASTARD'S HAND.
OF COURSE, THAT'S ABSURD,
ISN'T IT?
( coughing )
MIKE, YOU OKAY?
YOU DON'T LOOK VERY WELL.
WHY DON'T YOU JUST
TAKE OFF EARLY AND GO HOME?
HEY, BEAU.
HEY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
OH, NOTHING.
OKAY, WELL, I'M KEEPING
THE THEME OF THE DAY,
NAMELY IRRESPONSIBILITY.
I SPARED NO EXPENSE.
I GOT SOME STEAKS,
SOME WINE, SOME SALAD.
WE'RE GOING OUT.
I HAD A CHANGE OF MIND.
I JUST SPENT $60
AT THE GROCERY STORE.
WELL, I'LL TAKE YOU OUT.
I KNOW JUST THE PLACE
AND I WON'T TAKE NO
FOR AN ANSWER.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
BEAU, THIS IS MY CD PLAYER.
JUST A LITTLE INVENTING
TODAY.
I GUESS I BETTER NOT GIVE UP
THE DAY JOB, HUH?
I'M GONNA GO GET US
SOME SODAS, OKAY?
OKAY.
OKAY.
THERE YOU GO.
THANKS.
( music plays over dialogue )
GOOD EVENING, MISS WINSLOW.
HOW ARE YOU?
HI, MR. PARTRIDGE.
YOU KNOW, DEAR,
IT'S GETTING LATE.
MAYBE WE SHOULD BE
ON OUR WAY.
WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?
WHAT?
THAT'S MR. PARTRIDGE,
THE VICE PRINCIPAL OF MY SCHOOL.
YES, I KNOW.
HE SPEAKS VERY HIGHLY OF YOU.
YOU KNOW HIM?
( horn honks )
HEY, MAN, WATCH OUT!
YOU KNOW, YOU'RE NUTS.
WHAT, ARE YOU TRYING
TO KILL US BOTH?
LIGHTEN UP.
YOU KNOW,
NO WONDER CASSY'S SO FREAKED.
WHAT?
WHAT, YOU TWO TALK ABOUT ME
WHEN I'M NOT AROUND, PITT?
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?
I'M TALKING ABOUT YOU
AND CASSY.
STAY AWAY FROM HER.
YOU KNOW,
YOU REALLY ARE OUT OF YOUR HEAD.
HEY, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
BEAU.
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
( groaning )
BEAU.
NAH, JUST STAY THERE.
( tools whirring )
( groaning )
HEY!
WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU?
HEY, SPORT,
I'M TALKING TO YOU.
HEY!
HEY!
WHAT THE--
( bones crack )
( shouts )
( screaming )
( horn honks )
BEAU.
BEAU.
HEY, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE NOW.
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
COME ON.
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING?
NOTHING.
IT'S JUST MY PARENTS.
THEY'RE JUST
ACTING KINDA WEIRD.
SO YOU'RE SPYING, ANDIE?
NO. I MEAN--
THEY'RE INSIDE
WITH MR. PARTRIDGE.
GO AHEAD, TELL HER.
ANDIE, COME ON.
TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
OKAY, LAST WEEK,
MY MOM'S ON THIS KICK, RIGHT,
TO BE MY BEST FRIEND,
AND NOW SHE WON'T EVEN TALK
TO ME.
IT'S LIKE SHE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW
THAT I'M THERE.
I MEAN, I DON'T GET IT.
WHAT IS SHE DOING IN THERE WITH
PARTRIDGE AND ALL THOSE PEOPLE?
OKAY, LISTEN.
YOU TWO TAKE OFF
BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE SEES YOU.
JOHN, MAKE SURE SHE GETS HOME
OKAY.
YEAH, SURE.
ANDIE, DON'T WORRY.
I'LL FIND OUT WHAT I CAN, OKAY?
NOW GO ON HOME.
GO ON.
COME ON.
( bell ringing )
( screaming )
KEEP HIS LEGS DOWN!
HOLD HIM DOWN.
I'M DOING THE BEST I CAN.
HOLD ON TO HIM.
CRASH CART NOW.
LET'S GO.
MOVE!
( machine powers up )
( beeping )
CLEAR!
CLEAR.
( loud thump )
NO PULSE, NO HEARTBEAT.
NOTHING!
NO PULSE, NO HEARTBEAT.
( flatlines )
NO PULSE, NO HEARTBEAT.
THIS IS GETTING REALLY OLD.
DR. MORAN.
YOU REMEMBER THAT PATIENT
YESTERDAY?
WHICH PATIENT, MR. HENDERSON?
WE GOT A LOT OF PATIENTS
IN THIS HOSPITAL.
ALL RIGHT, THE DECEASED
FEMALE, MID 40s, THE WILD WOMAN.
SHE DIED RIGHT
IN FRONT OF US IN OPERATING?
YES, I REMEMBER HER.
REMEMBER?
YES.
I DON'T THINK I GOT A CHANCE
TO THANK YOU FOR PULLING ME OUT
OF THE WAY.
SAVED ME A FEW STITCHES.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
I JUST GOT HER BLOOD REPORT BACK
FROM PHLEBOTOMY.
AND?
NOTHING.
BLOOD LEVELS ARE RIGHT DOWN
THE MIDDLE.
NO FOREIGN AGENTS,
NO HALLUCINOGENS.
THE ONLY THING OUT
OF THE ORDINARY
IS A SLIGHTLY ELEVATED ENZYME
COUNT AND HER BLOOD TYPE'S
RH-NEGATIVE.
THAT'S IT.
HE WAS RH-NEGATIVE,
WITH THE SAME OVERT BEHAVIOR.
( men and women coughing )
DO YOU THINK IT COULD HAVE
ANYTHING TO DO
WITH THAT FLU THAT'S
BEEN GOING AROUND?
I MEAN, I KNOW EPIDEMIOLOGY
HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO ISOLATE
ITS ORIGINS YET, BUT--
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
WELL, I'VE BEEN CHECKING IN
WITH THEM.
YOU KNOW THAT FRIEND I TOLD
YOU ABOUT?
YES.
WELL, HE HAD THE SAME THING.
( coughing )
COME ON.
LOOK, DR. MORAN.
( blows nose )
50-SOME ODD CASES
OF FLU DON'T QUALIFY
AS AN EPIDEMIC.
WELL, THAT'S 50 PATIENTS
AT THIS FACILITY ALONE.
AS ADMINISTRATOR HERE,
I WOULD THINK THAT
YOU WOULD WANNA CHECK THAT OUT.
SO?
IT'S A NASTY FLU.
YEAH, EXCEPT THAT THERE'S
NO FLU VIRUS PRESENT
IN ANY OF THE PATIENTS' BLOOD.
I'VE HAD TWO PATIENTS DIE
ON ME IN THE LAST 48 HOURS,
BOTH FROM NO DISCERNIBLE CAUSE,
BOTH FROM RH-NEGATIVE
BLOOD TYPE.
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH THE FLU?
I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS
ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT,
BUT RIGHT NOW, IT IS THE ONLY
FACTOR THAT THESE
TWO PATIENTS SHARED.
PHILLIP,
ALL I'M SUGGESTING IS THAT YOU
CHECK WITH OTHER HEALTH
FACILITIES.
FOR WHAT?
SOME 24-HOUR THING
WITHOUT ANY LINGERING
AFTEREFFECTS?
YOU'RE HOME.
HOW WAS YOUR DAY?
BEAU, WE NEED TO TALK.
ABOUT WHAT?
I SAW MR. PARTRIDGE TODAY
WITH THESE PEOPLE.
AND THEY WERE MAKING--
WHAT WERE THEY MAKING?
ALL OF THEM WERE MAKING THESE
THINGS, AND IT WAS JUST LIKE
THE ONE THAT YOU GAVE
TO MR. PARTRIDGE LAST NIGHT.
AND THEY HAD THESE LITTLE,
LITTLE BLACK STONES.
STONES?
YOU KNOW WHAT
I'M TALKING ABOUT.
WHY AREN'T YOU TELLING ME
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU HAVE TO TRUST ME, CASS.
YOU DO TRUST ME, DON'T YOU?
PITT.
PITT, IT'S CASSY.
NO, LISTEN.
YOU GOTTA GET OVER HERE.
YOU GOTTA SEE THIS.
HURRY.
( zapping )
PITT, IT'S CASSY.
PICK UP THE PHONE.
PITT, PICK UP THE PHONE.
( sighs )
CASSY.
CASSY. CASS--
( sighs )
DON'T QUESTION IT.
IT WOULD BE SO MUCH SIMPLER
IF YOU'D JUST LET IT HAPPEN.
LET WHAT HAPPEN, BEAU?
SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU LET ME HELP YOU?
I DON'T NEED ANY HELP.
DON'T FIGHT IT.
YOU'VE SEEN
THESE LAST FEW DAYS.
YOU FELT WHAT I'M LIKE.
IT'S WONDERFUL, CASS.
OH, GOD.
BEAU, NO, PLEASE.
DON'T FIGHT IT.
NO!
DON'T FIGHT ME!
BEAU! BEAU! CASSY.
PITT.
HEY, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH.
NOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL ME
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?
THIS DOESN'T CONCERN YOU.
BEAU, COME ON.
IT'S 3:00 IN THE MORNING.
NOW WHAT IS THIS?
I STILL LOVE YOU, CASSY.
AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE,
AND I'LL BE BACK.
I HAPPEN TO BE ONE
OF THE RICHEST MEN IN THE WORLD,
SO JUST BECAUSE YOUR ASS IS
IN THIS OFFICE DOESN'T
NECESSARILY MEAN
YOU'VE GOT THE JOB.
ANYONE WHO'S GOING TO BE
MY PERSONAL ASSISTANT
HAD DAMN WELL HAVE BETTER
STUDIED ME
AND MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHIES.
I GIVE YOU 30 SECONDS
TO IMPRESS ME.
GO.
OKAY, YOU ARE A VERY
POWERFUL MAN.
VERY TRUE.
OBVIOUSLY WITH A GREAT DEAL
OF FINANCIAL RESOURCE.
ABSOLUTELY.
SOME WOULD SAY THAT
WITH YOUR CONNECTIONS,
YOU COULD THEORETICALLY
RULE THE WORLD.
TRUE. NOW ANYTHING TO DRINK?
A PELLEGRINO, ORANGE JUICE,
ANYTHING?
NO, THANK YOU.
SIT, SIT, SIT.
WHY DON'T WE JUST CUT
THROUGH THE CRAP, HUH?
I LIKE POWER.
I LIKE MONEY.
THE ONLY REASON I HAVE THIS
FOUNDATION IS TO GET ME
SOME GOOD PRESS,
AND I'D LIKE MY EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR TO KNOW THAT UP FRONT.
DOES ANY OF THIS DISTURB YOU?
NO.
ACTUALLY, I FIND IT VERY
REFRESHING.
REALLY?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TO ME?
WHAT YOU AND YOU
NONPROFIT DO-GOODERS ARE?
NOTHING.
YOU'RE PAWNS IN THIS LITTLE GAME
THAT I'M PLAYING.
I LIKE GAMES.
I DON'T THINK YOU'LL LIKE
THIS ONE, THOUGH.
YOU SEE, I WRITE THE RULES.
I DEAL OUT THE HANDS.
I DECIDE WHO WINS,
IN CASE I DON'T SEE YOU AGAIN.
OH, I THINK YOU WILL.
CATCH.
AND WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S YOUR FUTURE, MR. NORTH.
I'LL BE AT THE ROOSEVELT HOTEL.
YOU CALL ME LATER.
( elevator bell dings )
OW!
TALK TO ME.
WELL, THE KID SAYS DAD
PICKED HIM UP
FROM BASEBALL PRACTICE.
ALL OF A SUDDEN, HE WENT CRAZY,
STARTED SCREAMING, HIT THE KID,
JUMPED OUT OF THE CAR
AND JUST RAN INTO THE BUILDING.
WAS THE GUY ARMED?
WE DON'T KNOW THAT.
WHERE'S YOUR PARTNER?
HE'S INSIDE.
WHERE'S YOUR BACKUP?
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY.
HOW YOU DOING, PAL?
OKAY. ( crying )
YOU'LL BE OKAY, SON.
LET'S GO.
EASY.
( man screaming )
WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT EXACTLY ARE WE PLAYING
WITH HERE?
OW! JESUS.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SOMETHING CUT ME.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT.
PROBABLY GET TETANUS.
I'M GOING UP.
YOU COVER ME.
( man screams )
( siren wailing )
( man groaning )
BUDDY. BUDDY.
ARE YOU OKAY?
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
( screaming )
FREEZE!
I SAID FREEZE!
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
SO YOU'RE SAYING THAT
YOUR FIANCE WAS THE FIRST,
OR AT LEAST THE FIRST YOU KNOW
OF TO GET THIS FLU?
YES.
AND HE TRIED TO INFECT ME, TOO,
WITH SOME SORT OF BLACK STONE.
I THINK THE VIRUS IS
IN THE BLACK STONES.
LET'S NOT JUMP
TO CONCLUSIONS TOO FAST, OKAY?
SO WHERE IS HE NOW?
I DON'T KNOW.
WE'VE GOT A FLAMEOUT.
JUST WENT FLATLINE ON US
ON THE WAY HERE.
JUST WAIT OVER THERE.
SO WHAT HAPPENED?
YOU TELL ME.
THIS GUY JUST GOES BALLISTIC.
HE'S GOT LIKE SUPERHUMAN
STRENGTH.
HE'S JUST THROWING ME AROUND
LIKE I'M A FEATHER.
HE HITS HIM WITH THREE
HOLLOW POINTS IN THE BACK
AND THE GUY STILL DOESN'T FALL.
( coughing )
ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
( coughs, sniffles )
HEY, LISTEN.
CAN WE GET OUT OF HERE, PLEASE?
I'M STARTING TO FEEL LIKE CRAP.
YEAH.
SAME AS THE OTHERS.
OKAY, BEFORE WE DO ANYTHING
ELSE, I WANT HIM TYPED.
SEE IF HE'S RH-NEGATIVE.
BUT HE'S ALREADY DEAD.
THAT'S AGAINST PROCEDURE,
DOCTOR.
I NEED TO KNOW WHETHER
HE'S RH-NEGATIVE OR NOT.
CAN YOU TAKE CARE
OF THAT FOR ME?
I THINK YOU SHOULD WAIT FOR
APPROVAL BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
HAVE THIS BODY REMOVED
TO THE MORGUE
TO AWAIT THE CORONER.
NO PROBLEM.
PHILLIP, YOU JUST
CAN'T IGNORE THIS ANYMORE.
I DOUBT THAT THERE IS
ANYTHING TRULY SERIOUS HERE,
DR. MORAN.
IN A FEW DAYS' TIME,
I'M SURE THAT YOU'LL SEE
IT WILL ALL BLOW OVER.
GET ME THE CDC REP
IN PHOENIX.
GOD, I WISH I KNEW
WHERE BEAU WAS AT RIGHT NOW,
WHAT HE WAS DOING, PITT.
THERE'S GOTTA BE SOMETHING
WE CAN DO TO HELP HIM.
HEY, WHY DON'T YOU CRASH
AT MY PLACE TONIGHT?
I'LL BE THERE
AS SOON AS I FINISH MY SHIFT.
THANKS, PITT.
OKAY.
OH, CASSY.
JUST KEEP THE DOOR LOCKED,
ALL RIGHT?
I'M SORRY.
MR. NORTH HAS BEEN ILL TODAY.
YES, THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR CONCERN.
I'M SORRY.
I DIDN'T HEAR YOU COME IN.
CAN I HELP YOU WITH SOMETHING?
I'VE A MEETING
WITH MR. NORTH.
I'M SORRY.
IT'S VERY LATE AND MR. NORTH
HAS BEEN ILL TODAY.
HE'S CANCELLED ALL
OF HIS MEETINGS.
I THINK HE'LL WANNA SEE ME.
I THINK YOU'RE MISTAKEN.
I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
ASK YOU TO LEAVE.
I'M CALLING SECURITY.
BEAU, MY BOY.
I'M SORRY, MR. NORTH.
HE JUST--
RELAX, JANET, BEAU IS ALWAYS
WELCOME HERE.
COME ON IN.
BUT, MR. NORTH.
RELAX, JANET.
Attention, all personnel.
Stand by, we'll be switching
over to backup generators.
MR. HENDERSON, ISN'T IT?
I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT WHAT DR. MORAN SAID
ABOUT THE RH-NEGATIVE PATIENTS.
PERHAPS SOME COMPREHENSIVE TESTS
ARE IN ORDER, AND SO I'VE--
THAT'S GOOD,
BUT WHY ISN'T THE CORONER
DOING THE AUTOPSY?
BECAUSE I THOUGHT
I'D HANDLE IT PERSONALLY.
( thunder crashes )
( alarm blaring )
( men shouting )
IS EVERYTHING OKAY IN HERE?
YEAH, EVERYTHING'S FINE.
( knocking on door )
ANDIE, WHAT'S THE MATTER?
JOHN, I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE
ELSE TO GO.
CAN I COME IN?
YEAH, YEAH, WHAT HAPPENED?
DID YOU GET IN A FIGHT?
NO, IT'S JUST MY PARENTS.
THEY'RE LIKE--
I MEAN, ONE MINUTE
THEY'RE LIKE--
CALM DOWN, CALM DOWN.
JUST TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED.
JOHN, WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
I DON'T KNOW, MOM.
SHE'S IN TROUBLE.
WELL, WHAT KIND OF TROUBLE?
I WOKE UP, AND MY PARENTS
WERE STANDING OVER MY BED.
AND THEY HAD THIS THING,
THIS ROCK OR SOMETHING,
AND THEY'RE TRYING
TO MAKE ME HOLD IT.
THEN MY DAD, HE JUST GRABS ME.
I'M SO SCARED.
IT'S OKAY, ANDIE.
IT'S OKAY, SWEETHEART.
YOU CAN STAY HERE TONIGHT.
WELL, THIS IS NEW.
I NEVER BOUGHT AN AIR FORCE BASE
BEFORE.
THE SCHEMATICS.
PERFECT.
MR. NORTH.
WELCOME TO PHOENIX.
COLONEL, A PLEASURE.
THANKS FOR MEETING US
ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
NO PROBLEM.
THANK YOU.
I'D LIKE TO INTRODUCE
TO YOU BEAU STARK.
WHY DON'T I SHOW YOU AROUND?
SERGEANT, TAKE US OUT
TO THE FIELD.
YES, SIR.
DR. MORAN.
YES.
I'M WALTER KIRKLAND,
THE PHOENIX REPRESENTATIVE
FOR THE CDC.
I'M GLAD THAT YOU COULD MAKE
IT ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
PART OF THE JOB.
CARE TO SHOW ME WHAT YOU HAVE?
YES, RIGHT THIS WAY.
IT'S RIGHT THROUGH HERE.
IN MY 20 YEARS,
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING QUITE
LIKE THIS.
DR. MORAN,
COULD I TALK WITH YOU A SECOND?
NO, I'M SORRY,
BUT I CAN'T TALK RIGHT NOW.
WE HAVE A MEETING--
OKAY, PLEASE, PLEASE.
IT'S IMPORTANT.
EXCUSE ME, DR. KIRKLAND,
I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.
YES, CERTAINLY.
THIS BETTER BE GOOD.
HE'S WITH THE CDC.
OKAY, YOU CAN'T TRUST HAYDEN.
REMEMBER THAT POWER OUTAGE
LAST NIGHT?
YES.
WELL, I WAS WALKING
PAST THE MORGUE
AND I SAW HAYDEN IN THERE,
AUTOPSYING THAT BODY.
HAYDEN?
YEAH,
IT'S THAT RH-NEGATIVE THING.
WHATEVER IT IS, IT'S THROWING
THEM, TOO.
IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?
YES, DR. KIRKLAND.
I'LL BE WITH YOU
IN JUST A MINUTE.
OKAY, THE CRAZY THING IS
THAT WHEN I TRIED
TO GO IN THERE,
HE ACTUALLY TRIED TO--
LET'S JUST KEEP THIS QUIET
FOR NOW, ALL RIGHT?
DON'T YOU WANNA KNOW
WHAT ELSE IS GOING ON?
OF COURSE I DO,
BUT RIGHT NOW I THINK THEY
SHOULD BE INVESTIGATING THE FLU,
AND THEN LATER WE'LL DEAL
WITH THE LITTLE BLACK STONES.
OKAY, I'M GONNA FIND OUT
WHAT I CAN.
OKAY.
I'LL GIVE YOU A CALL LATER.
ALL RIGHT, GO.
SHE FELL VICTIM TO THE WHOLE
DEFENSE DEPARTMENT DOWNSIZING
THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS.
WE JUST DON'T HAVE ANY
BIG ENEMIES TO FIGHT ANYMORE.
WELL, KEEP INVESTIGATING.
BLOOD TYPE SHOULDN'T MATTER.
I DON'T WANT ANY LOOSE ENDS,
AND I DON'T WANNA HAVE TO WAIT
FOR AN ANSWER.
( beeps )
WHAT EXACTLY ARE YOU
INTERESTED IN THE BASE FOR,
MR. NORTH?
THOSE HANGARS.
WE WANNA SEE THEM.
I THOUGHT WE WOULD LOOK
AT THE BASE HEADQUARTERS.
THE HANGARS WILL BE FINE,
COLONEL.
SERGEANT,
TAKE US TO THE HANGARS.
YES, SIR.
DOCTOR.
SOMEONE FROM THE CDC IS HERE.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
IN ALL OF THESE CASES,
THE ONLY NOTICEABLE ABERRATION
IS THE PRESENCE OF SOME UNUSUAL
BUT HARMLESS EXCESS ENZYMES
IN THE SUBJECT'S BLOOD.
AND YOU SAY THE PATIENTS
ALL EXHIBITED
RECOGNIZABLE FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS?
YES, THEY DID.
MUCUS DISCHARGE,
UPPER RESPIRATORY CONSTRICTION.
THESE BODIES ARE DEFINITELY
TRYING TO THROW SOMETHING
OFF HERE.
AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS LATER,
THEY'RE FINE.
IN FACT, BETTER THAN FINE.
ONCE RECOVERED,
THEY EXHIBIT A KIND OF EUPHORIA
WITH INCREASED ENERGY LEVELS.
DOCTOR, I'D LIKE YOU
TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS.
WHAT ABOUT THE PATIENTS
WITH THE RH-NEGATIVE BLOOD
FACTORS?
YOU THINK THAT THEIR DEATHS
ARE SOMEHOW RELATED TO THIS FLU?
WELL, IT'S ALL ANECDOTAL
OBSERVATION, BUT IN EVERY CASE,
THE SUBJECTS DID TEST OUT
WITH THE SAME INCREASED ENZYMES
IN THEIR BLOOD.
AND SINCE THEN,
WE'VE HAD SEVERAL MORE
UNEXPLAINED DEATHS.
RH-NEGATIVE DEATHS.
YOU HAVEN'T HAD ANY
OTHER REPORTS LIKE THIS?
NO. IN FACT,
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE
THIS.
DR. MORAN, I WOULD LIKE
TO KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE--
YOU MUST BE FROM THE CDC.
I'M DR. PHILLIP HAYDEN,
CHIEF ADMINISTRATOR
OF THE HOSPITAL.
WALTER KIRKLAND.
WELL, DON'T LET ME INTERRUPT.
I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE YOU
HAD ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING
THAT YOU NEEDED.
I SEE THAT YOU'RE IN GOOD HANDS.
DON'T WORRY, PHILLIP.
WE'LL MAKE SURE
THAT HE KNOWS EVERYTHING.
AS YOU CAN UNDERSTAND,
THE GOVERNMENT IS EXPECTED
TO SELL THIS PROPERTY
TO SOME SORT OF DEVELOPER
OR MANUFACTURING FIRM.
PERSONALLY, I THINK
A GOLF RESORT'S THE WAY TO GO.
YOU AGREE, SERGEANT?
YES, SIR.
AND THIS WILL BE MY GATEWAY.
WE'LL TAKE IT.
I GUESS I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED
AS TO WHO'S IN CHARGE HERE.
WE NEED TO TAKE POSSESSION
IMMEDIATELY.
HOW WOULD WE MAKE THAT HAPPEN?
YOU CAN'T.
THIS IS A FORMER
DEFENSE INSTALLATION.
THERE ARE PERMITS
AND CLEARANCES.
I'M AFRAID WE DON'T
HAVE TIME FOR THAT, COLONEL.
THANK YOU.
OW!
SERGEANT, YOUR SIDEARM!
STAY WITH THE COLONEL
UNTIL HE CHANGES HIS MIND.
YES, SIR.
KINSELLA, ARE YOU READY?
YEAH.
WHAT HAVE YOU GOT THERE?
NO IDEA.
CAPTAIN TOLD ME TO HOLD ONTO 'EM
SO I'M HOLDING ON TO 'EM.
LITTLE ROCKS?
YEAH.
IF HE WANTS THEM SO BAD,
HE CAN KEEP THEM.
DAMN THINGS CUT ME 10 TIMES.
THEY CUT YOU?
YEAH, 10 TIMES.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
( sighs )
( coughing )
WHAT? YOU GOT THAT FLU
THAT'S GOING AROUND?
DOESN'T FEEL LIKE
ANY FLU I'VE EVER HAD.
KINSELLA, ARE YOU ALL RIGHT
OR WHAT?
YEAH.
( horns honking )
GOD.
HEY, YOU'RE DRIVING A LITTLE
WEIRD THERE.
( coughing )
HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
KINSELLA, LET ME TAKE IT.
TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS.
( screaming )
TRUST ME, KINSELLA, DO IT!
WHAT THE HECK'S WRONG
WITH YOU, KINSELLA? WATCH IT!
WHAT'S HAPPENING?!
THEY'RE BLACK STONES.
LITTLE BLACK STONES.
THEY'RE ABOUT A HALF AN INCH
IN DIAMETER.
MOM, I KNOW IT SOUNDS CRAZY,
BUT YOU GOTTA TRUST ME NOW.
I WANT YOU TO GO OVER,
GET UNCLE DAVE,
GO TO GRANDMA'S HOUSE
AND STAY THERE.
NO, I'M GONNA STAY IN PHOENIX.
I HAVE TO FIND BEAU, MOM.
HEY,
YOU'RE SURE YOU'RE NOT
OVERREACTING A LITTLE HERE?
I MEAN, THIS IS PRETTY WAY OUT
OF LINE.
A FLU THAT CHANGES PEOPLE.
COME ON, CASS.
THAT'S MR. SANCHEZ.
HE'S ONE OF MY REGULARS.
GOOD NIGHT, MR. SANCHEZ.
BUENAS NOCHES.
CASS, I THINK YOU'RE BLOWING
THIS WAY OUT OF PROPORTION.
DETECTIVE KEMPER.
YEAH.
I'M SORRY, BUT YOUR FRIEND
DIDN'T MAKE IT.
WOULD YOU LIKE US
TO NOTIFY HIS FAMILY?
NO, I'LL DO IT.
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HIM?
WE DON'T KNOW FOR SURE.
WE KNOW THAT HE HAD THE SAME
UNNATURAL ENZYME IN HIS BLOOD
AS THE MAN THAT YOU BROUGHT IN
LAST NIGHT.
UNNATURAL ENZYME?
IS THAT WHAT KILLED HIM?
WE DON'T KNOW YET.
YEAH, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT
OTHER GUY'S BLOOD TYPE
WAS RH-NEGATIVE,
AND YOUR FRIEND'S WASN'T.
RH-NEGATIVE?
WHY IS THAT
SO IMPORTANT ALL OF A SUDDEN?
I'M RH-NEGATIVE.
WELL, WE DON'T KNOW IF IT
MEANS SOMETHING RIGHT NOW.
WE JUST DON'T KNOW.
YOU DON'T KNOW?
IT'S GOTTA BE THOSE ENZYMES
THAT ARE IN THOSE BLACK STONES,
THE ONLY CONSISTENT FACTOR.
WAIT.
YOU KNOW ABOUT THE STONES?
KINSELLA TOLD ME THAT HE HAD
A SLEW OF THESE STONES IN A BOX.
HE SAID THAT THEY STUCK HIM
LIKE A DOZEN TIMES.
YEAH, AND HE HAD MORE
OF THE ENZYME IN HIS BLOOD
THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.
MAYBE HE OVERDOSED ON
THEM SOMEHOW. YOU THINK?
YOUR FRIEND WHO HAD THESE
STONES, WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
AT THE PRECINCT.
CAN WE GET A HOLD
OF ONE OF THEM?
YEAH, BUT HOW SAFE IS IT?
WHAT'S GOING ON?
NOT MUCH.
AS FAR AS THAT'S CONCERNED,
JUST BE CAREFUL.
BY SATURDAY, THEN WE DEAL
WITH SOMEBODY ELSE, OKAY?
'CAUSE THAT'S WHAT'S IMPORTANT.
HEY, FRANK.
HOW'S IT GOING?
FINE, CAPTAIN, THANKS.
HEY, CAPTAIN.
( whispering )
HEY, LET'S GO!
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
( engine turns over )
KEMPER!
IT WAS PRESSED UP
AGAINST MY SKIN
AND IT OPENED UP, AND THEN
THIS NEEDLE THING CAME OUT.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS,
BUT IT'S CERTAINLY NOT A ROCK.
I'LL DO A COMPREHENSIVE
ON THIS RIGHT AWAY.
IN THE MEANTIME,
WHAT THE HELL ARE WE GONNA DO
WITH THIS?
IT'S NOT WHAT ARE WE GONNA
DO WITH IT.
QUESTION IS,
WHAT'S IT PLANNING TO DO TO US?
SEE, THAT'S THE ONE
RIGHT THERE.
ARE WE ON SCHEDULE?
CONSTRUCTION WILL BE READY
IN 10 DAYS.
FOUR DAYS.
THE GATEWAY WILL OPEN
IN FOUR DAYS.
FINE.
RECRUIT MORE OF THEM
IF YOU HAVE TO.
FOUR DAYS.
BEAU.
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN THEN?
THEN THE NEW WORLD BEGINS.
CASSY WINSLOW.
HAVE YOU LOCATED HER?
NO, WE HAVE PEOPLE LOOKING
AT YOUR OLD HOUSE,
LOOKING AT THE SCHOOL--
I DON'T NEED
THE EXCUSES, REALLY.
WHAT I NEED IS FOR YOU
TO FIND HER FOR ME.
OH, I'LL FIND HER.
SO I CALLED ANDIE, LIKE,
THREE TIMES TODAY, AND SHE
DIDN'T PICK UP THE PHONE.
REALLY?
JOHN.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
I NEED TO SPEAK
TO YOUR MOTHER,
BUT I'VE GOTTA KNOW
IF SHE'S ALL RIGHT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN "ALL RIGHT"?
IS SHE ALL RIGHT, JOHN?
JOHN, DON'T FORGET TO BRING--
( camera shutter clicks )
LISTEN, IT'S HAPPENING ALL
THROUGH PHOENIX.
MORE AND MORE PEOPLE
ARE BEING INFECTED.
IT'S NOT JUST THE FLU.
IT'S BIGGER THAN THAT.
IT'S MORE THAN THAT.
MRS. OCHOA,
BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU DO,
YOUR LAB WORK,
AND YOUR HUSBAND, A PHYSICIST,
I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE
YOU COULD HELP US OUT.
I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT WE
COULD DO.
AS FAR AS I CAN TELL,
IT'S STILL JUST THEORY.
COME ON, MOM.
YOU KNOW EXACTLY
WHAT SHE'S TALKING ABOUT.
I MEAN, IT'S JUST LIKE WHAT
I SAID ABOUT ANDIE'S PARENTS.
I MEAN,
WE SHOULD DO WHAT WE CAN.
HOW COULD WE HELP?
I'M WORKING
WITH A GROUP OF PEOPLE.
WE'RE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
EXACTLY WHAT THIS PHENOMENON IS.
YOU AND YOUR HUSBAND MEET
WITH US AND, I PROMISE YOU,
AFTERWARDS, YOU WON'T
HAVE ANY DOUBTS.
THESE ARE THE SURVEILLANCE
PHOTOS THAT YOU REQUESTED.
BEAU.
I'M SORRY,
BUT THIS IS RIDICULOUS.
YOU THINK THAT THERE'S SOME KIND
OF VIRUS OUT THERE
THAT MAKES PEOPLE CHANGE?
IT INDUCES A FORM
OF PSYCHOSIS, YES.
EUGENE, YOU SAID YOURSELF
HOW STRANGELY DOUG MOFFET'S
BEEN ACTING
AND CAROLYN AND PETE NEXT DOOR.
YEAH,
AND WHAT ABOUT ANDIE'S PARENTS?
WE ANALYZED A SAMPLE
OF THE FLUID THAT WE FOUND
INSIDE OF THE STONES.
AND WE FOUND THE EXACT SAME
ENZYMES IN EVERY SINGLE ONE
OF THE FLU VICTIMS' BLOOD.
THAT'S RIGHT.
THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE.
THIS ENZYME DOESN'T EXIST.
YOU MEAN IT DOESN'T EXIST
ON THIS PLANET.
OH, COME ON, PLEASE.
LET'S AT LEAST STAY WITHIN
THE REALM OF REALITY HERE.
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS.
I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT, EITHER,
TILL I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES.
WE'VE GOT TO FIND A SAFE
PLACE TO STAY, YOU GUYS.
WHAT ABOUT THE HOSPITAL?
WE CAN GO HOME,
PICK UP SOME THINGS TO MAKE DO
FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS.
RIGHT, WE'LL HOLE UP
IN THE LAB AND WE'LL GET
AS MUCH DATA AS WE POSSIBLY CAN.
( doorbell rings )
WE CAN'T TRUST ANYONE
IN PHOENIX, NOT ANYMORE.
IT'S JUST SOMEBODY
AT THE DOOR.
PROBABLY E.T. MAKING
A HOUSE CALL.
PETE, WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU?
JUDY AND I WERE GONNA
PLAY A LITTLE BRIDGE.
THOUGHT WE'D SEE IF YOU
AND NANCY WANTED TO JOIN US.
MAYBE SOME OTHER NIGHT.
TONIGHT'S NOT SO GOOD FOR US.
OH, YOU HAVE COMPANY OVER?
NO, IT'S JUST US, YOU KNOW,
BUT--
MAYBE WE COULD HAVE
A QUICK DRINK.
NO, PETE.
HOW ABOUT I CALL YOU TOMORROW
AND WE'LL DO IT
TOMORROW NIGHT, OKAY?
BUT THANKS.
( tires screech )
HELLO, CASSY.
I WAS BEGINNING TO THINK
YOU DIDN'T WANT TO SEE ME.
WHAT DO YOU WANT, BEAU?
I CAME BACK FOR YOU.
DIDN'T YOU MISS ME?
YOU AND I BELONG TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW THAT, DON'T YOU?
COME ON, CASS.
I WANT YOU TO BE A PART OF THIS.
PART OF WHAT, BEAU?
I DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHAT'S HAPPENING.
IT'S A WHOLE NEW ERA.
EVOLUTION.
IT'S THE OLD MAKING WAY
FOR THE NEW.
DON'T YOU SEE?
I'M THE ONE
WHO'S GONNA MAKE IT HAPPEN.
I'M THE KEY.
ALL I SEE IS A SICK MAN.
THIS ISN'T THE MAN
THAT I FELL IN LOVE WITH.
NO, HE WAS WEAK.
I'M STRONG.
I CAN GIVE YOU THE WORLD.
I CAN GIVE YOU MANY WORLDS.
I DON'T WANT THE WORLD.
I WANT BEAU BACK.
YOU CAN'T STOP IT, CASSY.
NO ONE CAN.
IT'S NOT EVEN DENTING
THE THING.
I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING
LIKE IT.
YOU SEE?
I TOLD YOU IT WAS ALIEN.
YOU GUYS SHOULD GO AHEAD
AND PACK UP.
WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME.
DONNA. DONNA, NO.
DONNA, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO
PULL SOME STRINGS.
I NEED THREE SEATS
ON A FLIGHT TO ATLANTA TONIGHT.
SO WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
THAT IT'S BEEN THERE ALL ALONG?
THAT'S EXACTLY
WHAT I'M SAYING.
THE VIRUS IS ALREADY IN OUR DNA.
NORMALLY, DOCTORS
AND LAB WORKERS JUST IGNORE IT
BECAUSE IT'S JUST ALWAYS BEEN
THERE.
SO THE ENZYME IN THOSE
LITTLE ROCKS IS THE CATALYST?
RIGHT.
THEN THIS VIRUS
IS INSIDE ALL OF US.
YEAH.
BUT NOW WE KNOW WHAT IT'S DOING.
IT'S BEEN WAITING.
( knock on door )
IT'S CASSY.
HEY, CASS, WHERE WERE YOU?
WE'VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU.
PITT, I SAW HIM.
I SAW BEAU.
WHEN, JUST NOW?
AT THE APARTMENT, PITT.
HE'S CHANGING.
PHYSICALLY CHANGING, HIS EYES,
HIS HANDS.
HE'S MUTATING
INTO SOMETHING ELSE.
WE'RE AT THE HOSPITAL.
WE HAVE CONFIRMED THEY'RE
ON THE THIRD FLOOR.
OKAY.
STILL WAITING TO HEAR BACK
FROM THE BOYS.
YOU'RE ON THE RED EYE
TO ATLANTA,
BUT IT LEAVES IN 35 MINUTES.
WE'LL BE MAKING OUR CASE
TO THE CDC BY MORNING.
LET'S GET MOVING.
LET'S GET THESE FILES.
WE GOTTA HURRY. COME ON.
GREAT.
WAIT, WAIT, WAIT.
THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN MAKE IT
OUT RUNNING LIKE A PACK.
ALL RIGHT, I'LL GET THESE GUYS
TO THE AIRPORT,
AND I'LL MEET YOU LATER.
OKAY, WE'LL TAKE
THE BACK STAIRS.
NOW DO YOU KNOW THAT DINER DOWN
ON UNIVERSITY?
YES.
ALL RIGHT,
WE'LL MEET YOU THERE LATER THEN.
WE CAN'T LEAVE HIM HERE.
DON'T WORRY, MOM.
I'M GONNA BE OKAY.
YOU GOTTA GO.
EVERYBODY'S DEPENDING ON YOU.
HE'S RIGHT. WE HAVE TO GO.
LET'S GO NOW.
I LOVE YOU, MOM.
( siren wailing )
THERE'S MY CAR.
IT'S OVER THERE.
ANDIE.
THEY'RE HERE!
COME ON, JOHN. COME ON.
BE CAREFUL, ALL RIGHT?
WE DON'T KNOW
HOW FAR THIS THING GOES.
WISH US LUCK.
WE'RE GONNA NEED A LOT MORE
THAN LUCK.
( gasps )
OPEN UP, DENICE.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON, OPEN UP!
WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED
TO YOU GUYS?
LOCK THE DOORS.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
JUST DO IT, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT.
PITT, YOU GOT IT?
WILL SOMEBODY PLEASE
TELL ME WHAT IS GOING ON.
HOW WILL WE KNOW IF
THEY EVEN MADE IT TO ATLANTA?
WHEN THEY FIND SOMETHING
OUT, THEY'RE GONNA LET US KNOW
ABOUT IT, ALL RIGHT?
IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
YOU GUYS ARE ALL NUTS.
THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU.
DENICE.
COPS. GET DOWN, GET DOWN.
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY
TO ATLANTA.
THE REST ARE HERE WITH ME.
EXCELLENT.
YOU'RE RIGHT.
THEY'RE ON THEIR WAY TO ATLANTA.
YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO.
WHAT THE HELL IS IT?
I DON'T THINK
I REALLY WANNA KNOW.
IT HAS BEGUN.
Although reports are
scattered, the meteor shower
has been seen
as far away as Los Angeles
and Las Vegas.
We will keep you updated
as word--
( clicks )
DENICE.
HEY, WITH ALL THAT'S
GOING DOWN LATELY,
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT BE HUNGRY.
YOU'RE A LIFESAVER.
CAN I GIVE YOU A HAND?
NO, I'M ALMOST DONE.
OKAY.
ANOTHER FIVE MINUTES,
YOU WOULD'VE MISSED ME.
IT'S BEEN SO DEAD AROUND HERE.
IT'S BEEN DEAD ALL OVER.
YOU WANT SOME COFFEE?
OH, GOD. OH, GOD, NO.
NOT YOU, DENICE.
NO! ( screaming )
CASSY!
DENICE!
PITT! PITT!
( horn honks )
IS SHE STILL ALIVE?
OH, GOD.
GUYS, COME QUICK.
IT'S KEMPER!
COME ON. COME ON, LET'S GO.
HURRY.
OH, GOOD, IT IS HIM.
You have been selected
to work here at the Institute.
Proceed to Area 15
for registration.
KEEP MOVING, PEOPLE.
All construction workers
and electricians report
to Area 6.
I repeat.
Proceed to Area 15
for registration.
WE NEED YOU!
All construction workers
and electricians report
to Area 6.
COME BACK!
NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
GREATEST SCIENTIFIC MINDS
IN THE WORLD, FIND ME AN ANSWER.
MECHANICAL AND ELECTRONIC
HARDWARE WE FOUND SO FAR
IS WAY BENEATH
THE SOPHISTICATION LEVEL
THAT WE NEED.
WELL, IF WE DON'T HAVE IT,
THEN FABRICATE IT.
IF I HAVE TO DO IT ALL MYSELF,
WHAT GOOD ARE YOU TO ME?
I'LL FIND THE EQUIPMENT.
THE GATEWAY MUST BE
OPERATIONAL IN THREE DAYS.
FINE.
THREE DAYS.
JUST RECEIVED A MESSAGE
FROM ATLANTA.
THEY'VE ARRIVED.
GOOD.
FIND OUT WHAT THEY KNOW
AND THEN BRING THEM TO ME.
I COULD USE SOME WORKERS
WITH SOME INITIATIVE.
OKAY.
YOU SEE, THE COMPOSITION
OF THESE DEVICES ISN'T SOMETHING
OUR CURRENT SCIENCE CAN EVEN
DUPLICATE. PLEASE, TAKE A LOOK.
EXCUSE ME, SIR, HERE ARE
THE DOCUMENTS YOU WANTED.
AND THEY CARRY ENZYMES
THAT AWAKEN A VIRUS IN OUR DNA.
A VIRUS
OF EXTRATERRESTRIAL NATURE.
I KNOW HOW IT SOUNDS,
BUT IF YOU'LL LOOK
AT THESE REPORTS,
IT'S ALL DOCUMENTED.
THIS IS STILL VERY SKETCHY.
HOWEVER, IT'S COMPELLING ENOUGH
TO WARRANT A TRIP TO PHOENIX
TO SEE JUST WHAT THEY'RE
TALKING ABOUT.
YOU FOLKS HAVE DONE
SOME VERY IMPRESSIVE WORK.
NO, THEY DON'T HAVE
AN APPOINTMENT,
BUT I'M SURE THEY'RE THERE.
NOW, PLEASE,
IT'S EXTREMELY URGENT
THAT I TALK WITH THEM.
I'm sorry, sir, but there's
nobody here by those names.
But if you give me your name
and phone number,
I'll see if I can--
I THINK THEY'RE ALREADY
IN TROUBLE.
LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.
HAVE YOU ACTUALLY OBSERVED
THE COUPLED REACTION
OF THE ENZYME IN PROGRESS?
ANY ELECTRON MICROGRAPHS
OF THE VIRION ITSELF,
AWAY FROM THE HOST CELL?
AND HOW MANY OTHERS
HAVE YOU TOLD ABOUT THIS?
WE CAME STRAIGHT TO YOU, SIR.
THAT'S GOOD.
GIVEN THE SITUATION
IN PHOENIX, WE DECIDED
TO COME DIRECTLY HERE,
HOPING THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE
GOTTEN REPORTS LIKE THIS
FROM OTHER PLACES.
OF COURSE, WE'VE MADE COPIES
OF ALL OF OUR WORK.
WE NEED TO LEAVE RIGHT NOW.
YOU SHOULD PROBABLY TELL US
WHERE THESE COPIES ARE.
BEST KEEP THIS UNDER WRAPS.
WE DON'T HAVE THEM ANYMORE.
THAT'S RIGHT.
WE SENT COPIES OF OUR WORK
TO OTHER LABS FOR TESTING.
DR. MORAN,
IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.
DR. KIRKLAND,
I'M SURPRISED TO SEE YOU HERE.
I'M SURE YOU ARE.
EXCUSE US.
DO YOU THINK THEY BELIEVED
THE PART ABOUT SENDING REPORTS
TO THE OTHER LABS?
WHO KNOWS?
THE WORST PART IS
THAT THEY KNOW THAT WE KNOW.
WE NEED TO WARN THE OTHERS.
LOOK, THERE'S A PHONE
OVER THERE.
GREAT.
SEE ANYTHING ON YOUR END,
SIR?
NO VISUAL CONTACT HERE.
WE CAN'T LET THEM LEAVE.
WE GOT COMPANY.
I'VE GOT VISUAL CONTACT
RIGHT NOW.
THEY'RE HEADING OUT OF THE PARK.
MOVE!
GET OUT OF THE WAY.
HEY, MAN!
MOVE!
( horn honks )
WATCH IT!
THIS WAY. COME ON.
WATCH IT!
WHAT, ARE YOU CRAZY?!
HERE. BEHIND HERE.
I'LL COVER THIS AREA.
YOU GO DOWN THERE.
GOT IT.
WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
LOOK.
THERE'S A FENCE OVER THERE.
THERE'S GOTTA BE A WAY
THROUGH IT.
IT'S ALL CLEAR HERE.
ARE YOU COMING WITH US?
GO, GO. YES, YES. GO!
GO!
EUGENE!
( screams )
EUGENE! EUGENE!
EUGENE!
THIS WAY. DON'T LOOK BACK.
EUGENE!
JUST GO.
The president has cancelled
plans to attend the multination
summit that he himself
organized, blaming a sudden bout
of flu.
According to the White House
press secretary...
( telephone rings )
...all his appointments have
been indefinitely postponed
at this time.
The president's position...
NO, DON'T BOTHER.
THEY'LL COME BACK TO PHOENIX.
THEY'LL WANNA REGROUP
WITH WHOEVER IT IS
THEY'RE WORKING WITH
AND WE'LL SOLVE THE PROBLEM
THEN. YES.
Outbreak of this mysterious
flu has continued to baffle...
( theme music playing )
