The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 4, Episode 11 - The Vaccine - full transcript

JOURNAL ENTRY DAY 91

IF NOT FOR THE QUARANTINE

THAT WAS ALREADY IN PLACE
WHEN THE DISASTER STRUCK,

WE WOULD SURELY BE DEAD,

ALONG WITH
THE REST OF THE WORLD.

BUT WE PRAY FOR A MIRACLE.

( toy siren wailing )

( toy siren wailing )

( truck horn honking )

A TRUCK!

MARIE! MARIE! A TRUCK!



MARIE! MARIE! A TRUCK!

SHH, YOU'LL WAKE
EVERYBODY UP.

YOU IMAGINED IT.

A TRUCK OUTSIDE!

EVERYBODY'S DEAD.

LISTEN.

( truck horn honking )

HE'S RIGHT.

THE MAJOR'S
COMING BACK!

AFTER
ALL THIS TIME.

HE'S NOT COMING BACK,
OKAY, HARRY.

AND YOU STAY HERE.

DON'T LET HIM IN.

I'LL NEED SOMEONE WITH A GUN.



I GOT YOU COVERED.

OKAY.

( horn honking )

OKAY, UH, JAMES,

DON'T SHOOT UNLESS HE TRIES
TO BREAK IN, ALL RIGHT?

OKAY, AND I'LL BE BACK.

STOP WHERE YOU ARE!

WE HAVE NO MORE FOOD
OR MEDICINE.

YOU WILL NOT
BE ALLOWED INSIDE.

( Control Voice )
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR TELEVISION.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST
THE PICTURE.

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING
THE TRANSMISSION.

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL,

AND THE VERTICAL.

WE CAN DELUGE YOU
WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS

OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE
TO CRYSTAL CLARITY...

AND BEYOND.

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION
CAN CONCEIVE.

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE WILL CONTROL
ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR.

( ♪ )

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.

ALONG WITH FUTURES
WE DARE NOT IMAGINE
( Control Voice )
THER

COME CHOICES WE DARE NOT MAKE.

THERE IS NO VACCINE
FOR THE BERLIN VIRUS.

THERE IS NOW, MA'AM.

PRIVATE JOHN STANHOPE,
U.S. ARMY.

I'M TO REPORT TO A MAJOR FORD.

HE LEFT SIX DAYS AGO
TO GET US MORE SUPPLIES.

HE LEAVE YOU IN CHARGE?

YES.

COME CLOSER...

SLOWLY.

WHAT'S HE SAYING?

I DON'T KNOW.
SHUT UP.

HOW MANY SURVIVORS?

13, INCLUDING MYSELF.

( gasping )

OH, THANK GOD YOU SHOWED UP.

THERE'S ENOUGH VACCINE HERE
FOR THREE.

WHAT?

THREE?
BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH.

THANK MAJOR FORD YOU GOT ANY.

BUT I'M RESPONSIBLE
FOR 12 PEOPLE.

WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO?

YOU DECIDE.

HERE.

THE DOCTORS WROTE UP
WHAT YOU CALL CRITERIA.

IT'S ALL THERE --
WHAT TO DO,

WHAT THE DOSAGE IS,

SORT OF PEOPLE
YOU SHOULD PICK.

NO CHILDREN?

SKILLED HEALTHY ADULTS IN
THEIR EARLY REPRODUCTIVE YEARS.

IT'S WHAT THEY SAID.

NOW THE MOST IMPORTANT THING

IS IT'LL TAKE ANOTHER 73 HOURS
BEFORE THE VACCINE WILL WORK.

THREE DAYS? BUT WHY?

SOMETHING
ABOUT IT HAVING

TO GROW
IN A CERTAIN KIND OF BACTERIA.

PLEASE, YOU NEED TO GET US
MORE SUPPLIES.

NO, MA'AM, NOT ME.

WE'RE RUNNING
OUT OF WATER.

WE DON'T HAVE
ANY MORE FOOD.

I CAN'T HELP YOU, MA'AM.

I'M HEADING BACK EAST
WHILE I STILL CAN.

FAMILY'S UP THERE --
A WIFE AND TWO GIRLS.

I KNOW THAT THEY'RE DEAD,

BUT FIGURE I SHOULD BE WITH THEM
WHEN...

LISTEN,
THERE'S ANOTHER DOZEN OR SO

IN THE TOWN DOWN THE INTERSTATE.

I GAVE THEM
THE SAME AS I GAVE YOU.

MAYBE YOU CAN HOOK UP WITH THEM.

SO THERE ARE OTHERS.

NOT MANY.
A LOT MORE DEAD.

IT'S WHY THE MASK.

IT HELPS WITH THE SMELL.

ANYWAY,

I WANT TO BE HEADING
ON THE ROAD.

WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO
WITH THIS?

THERE'S A LOADING BAY
IN THE BACK.

COULD YOU PLEASE
DRIVE IT AROUND?

I CAN DO THAT.

GO BACK TO YOUR HOMES!

ANYONE
ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE HOSPITAL

WILL BE REPELLED
BY DEADLY FORCE.

THESE SOLDIERS MEAN BUSINESS,
FOLKS.

GO HOME!

PRIVATE?

MA'AM?

I JUST WANTED TO SAY
I HOPE YOU MAKE IT HOME.

HERE SHE COMES.

HERE SHE COMES.

WAS IT THE MAJOR?

NO, IT WAS A SOLDIER.

HE WAS CARRYING SOMETHING.
WE SAW IT.

DID HE GIVE IT
TO YOU?

GET WHAT?
THE CURE.
I SAW IT.

NO, IT'S NOT
A CURE.

IT'S A VACCINE.

WHERE IS IT?
LET'S TAKE IT!

IT CAN'T BE ADMINISTERED
FOR THREE DAYS.

WHY GIVE IT TO US
IF IT ISN'T READY?

ARE THEY SURE
IT'S GOING TO WORK?

NO, IT'S UNTESTED.

WHAT IF WE GET INFECTED
BEFORE WE CAN TAKE IT?

WE'LL MAKE SURE
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

WE'RE LOW ON GAS
FOR THE GENERATOR.

THERE ARE CARS
IN THE PARKING LOT.

AREN'T WE ALMOST
OUT OF FOOD AND WATER?

WE RATIONED WHAT WE FOUND
IN THE CAFETERIA.

I KNOW IT'S NOT MUCH,

BUT THERE
SHOULD BE PLENTY

ONCE WE CAN LEAVE THE HOSPITAL.

WHAT IF WE TAKE IT NOW?

THEN WE DIE, GRAHAM.

COME ON, GUYS.

WE MANAGED TOGETHER
FOR MONTHS

SINCE
BEFORE THE DISASTER.

WHAT'S
THREE MORE DAYS?

IT'S NOT
THAT WE'RE NOT GRATEFUL

FOR EVERYTHING
YOU'VE DONE, DEAR.

IT'S JUST...DIFFICULT.

I KNOW IT IS.

I KNOW.

AND, JAMES,

IF YOU'RE WORRIED
ABOUT THE GENERATOR--

YEAH, I BETTER
GO TOP IT UP.

WHAT SHOULD THE REST OF US DO?

JUST HANG IN THERE, LAWRENCE.

I'M SICK
OF HANGING IN THERE.

WELL, THEN DO
SOMETHING, BARB.

( warning buzzer sounding )

( speaking Spanish )

I THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT HAVE

HEARD ABOUT
THE QUARANTINE.

I DIDN'T WANT YOU
TO WORRY.

I WISH
THEY WOULDN'T CALL IT THAT.

NO, IT'S JUST A BUG
THAT'S RESISTANT TO ANTIBIOTICS

AND THAT THEY DON'T WANT
TO GET OUT INTO THE WORLD.

IT'S NOTHING AT ALL,

BUT WE JUST CAN'T LET ANYONE
IN OR OUT OF OUR ENTIRE WING

UNTIL WE HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL.

YEAH, I KNOW.

I KNOW MY WARD
IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT,

BUT YOU-- MOM, LISTEN TO ME.

JUST, JUST FOCUS
ON THE OVERTIME, ALL RIGHT?

EXACTLY.

YEAH, IT SHOULD ONLY LAST
FOR A FEW DAYS.

YEAH.

OKAY.

I LOVE YOU.

I HEARD
SOMETHING OUTSIDE.

YES.

YOU WERE EXPECTING SOMEONE?

OH...NO.

IT WAS A SOLDIER

DELIVERING A VACCINE
FROM THE CDC.

AND THIS DEPRESSES YOU?

HOW'S THE PAIN?

AH...

( sighing )

TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG.

( sighing )

IT'LL BE THREE DAYS
BEFORE WE CAN TRY IT ON ANYONE.

IS THAT SO BAD?

WE'RE ALMOST
AT THE END OF THE ROPE HERE.

AH, I KNOW THE FEELING.

BUT IT'S BEEN
HOW LONG?

TWO MONTHS?

LONGER.

YOU CAN WAIT THREE MORE DAYS,
FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

SOMETHING ELSE.

WHAT IS IT? TELL ME.

THERE'S...ONLY ENOUGH VACCINE
FOR THREE PEOPLE.

DOES EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS?

NO, I CAN'T POSSIBLY TELL THEM.

IT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE GIVING ME.

NO.

IT'S MORPHINE.

I MAY BE
YOUR FAVORITE,

BUT I WANT YOU TO
TAKE ME OFF THE LIST.

OH, MR. KATZ.

DON'T ARGUE WITH ME.

I'M DYING,
FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE.

THANK YOU.

I'M YOUR FAVOURITE,
RIGHT?

THANK YOU FOR
MAKING ME LAUGH.

BUT YOU DIDN'T LAUGH.

YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
I CAN TALK TO.

( crying )

I HAVE TO CHOOSE
THE THREE PEOPLE.

SWEETHEART, SWEETHEART.

WE CAN MAKE
ALL THE DECISIONS WE WANT,

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

IT STILL WON'T BE UP TO YOU.

GOD CUTS THE THREAD.

NOT YOU, NOT ME, NOT ANYONE.

YOU KNOW HOW
I KNOW THIS?

BECAUSE I GOT
TERMINAL CANCER,

AND PRACTICALLY THE WHOLE WORLD
STILL DIED BEFORE I DID.

THAT'S HOW.

GO AHEAD.

HAVE A GOOD CRY.

YOU KNOW, PERSONALLY,
I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY FUNNY,

BUT YOU CRY.

MARIE,
WE'RE ALMOST OUT OF GAS.

I'VE GOT GAS.

BELIEVE ME, YOU DON'T WANT IT.

HEY, MR. KATZ.

YOUNG JAMES, YOU NEVER
COME SEE ME ANYMORE.

HE'S FILLING
THE MAJOR'S SHOES.

HE'S A GOOD MAN.

YOU SHOULD PUT HIM ON THAT LIST.

I'LL BE BACK
IN A COUPLE OF HOURS, OKAY?

IF YOU'RE IN PAIN,
JUST RING THE BELL,

AND I'LL BE RIGHT OVER.

WHAT LIST?

WE WERE GOING OVER MY WILL.

YOU GET THE STAMP COLLECTION.

GREAT.

BYE, I'LL SEE YOU LATER.

STILL MAKING JOKES.

YEAH, CONSIDERING
THE PAIN HE'S STILL IN.

SO HOW MUCH LONGER

BEFORE
THE GENERATOR DIES?

I FILLED IT,
BUT IT WON'T LAST THREE DAYS.

ONCE THE AIR PURIFIER
STOPS RUNNING,

THE CONTAMINATED AIR
GETS INSIDE.

THREE DAYS
MAY AS WELL BE THREE YEARS.

TOMORROW SOMEBODY PUTS ON A SUIT
AND GOES OUT IN THE PARKING LOT,

FINDS SOMETHING
THAT RUNS ON DIESEL.

AND I GUESS THAT'S ME.

NO, WE'LL ASK FOR A VOLUNTEER.

LIKE WHO? GRAHAM?

LIKE I SAID, I GUESS THAT'S ME.

I GUESS SO.

I'LL CHECK THE MEDICAL SUPPLIES.

MARIE!

YOU'D BETTER COME SEE THIS.

THE PRESIDENT IS NOT AVAILABLE,

BUT THE WHITE HOUSE
HAS ISSUED A STATEMENT.

TO REPEAT,
AUTHORITIES HAVE JUST CONFIRMED

THE CLAIM BY DOOMSDAY
CULT LEADER GERHOLT WAGNER

THAT THE SO-CALLED CULT FLU

IS IN FACT A GENETICALLY
ENGINEERED VIRUS

CREATED BY HIS FOLLOWERS

TO FULFILL THEIR PROPHECY
OF THE MILLENNIUM.

THE CDC IS UNSURE WHEN OR
EVEN IF A CURE WILL BE FOUND

BUT ADMIT THAT MANY THOUSANDS
MAY ALREADY BE INFECTED.

BEFORE BEING TRACKED DOWN,

NEARLY ALL CULT FOLLOWERS
MADE THEIR WAY

TO THE MAJOR CITY CENTERS
OF THE WORLD

WHERE THEY SYSTEMATICALLY
AND DELIBERATELY

SPREAD
THE DISEASE THEY CREATED.

OF THE CULT MEMBERS
SO FAR DISCOVERED,

NEARLY ALL ARE DEAD OR DYING,
LEAVING HEALTH OFFICIALS

GRAVELY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE REPERCUSSIONS.

PEOPLE ARE BEING TOLD
TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES,

AND IT'S LIKELY MARTIAL LAW
WILL SOON BE IMPOSED.

HAVE THEY DETERMINED
THE INCUBATION PERIOD?

AS LONG
AS TWO WEEKS.

WHAT IF
IT'S AIRBORNE?

MARIE? MARIE?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

UH, YES.

YES...I'M FINE.

WOULD ANYONE CARE TO JOIN ME
IN SAYING GRACE?

SO, UH...

WHERE IS IT?

I KNOW WE CAN'T TAKE IT.

I JUST WANT TO SEE IT.

WHEN
THE TIME COMES.

SO I SAY FIRST THING

WE'LL DO WHEN WE CAN
LEAVE THE HOSPITAL

IS GO TO
THE BIGGEST SUPERMARKET

AND HAVE A FEAST, HMM?

THEY'RE ALL CLEANED OUT.

HE'S RIGHT.

THE MAJOR SAID THE LOOTING
WAS WORST IN THE SUPERMARKETS.

LOOK WHAT I HAVE HERE FOR YOU.

HOW COME YOU GET TO DECIDE?

DECIDE WHAT?

WHO GETS WHAT.

SHE'S ALWAYS BITCHING
YOU GIVE THE KID THE BEST STUFF.

THERE IS NO BEST STUFF.

STUCK HERE EATING CRAP!
I COULD SCREAM!

WE ALL HAVE. SO WHAT?

WHY ARE YOU GIVING

THE OLD GUY OUR FOOD

IF HE'S JUST GOING
TO DIE ANYWAY?

SHUT UP!
YOU SHUT UP!

STOP SHOUTING.

IF WE WEREN'T ALREADY
IN QUARANTINE--

WE'RE LUCKY!
STOP TELLING ME!

THEN STOP COMPLAINING!

FOR GOD'S SAKE,
IF YOU DON'T WANT IT,

GIVE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE!
THROW IT AWAY!

I DON'T CARE
WHAT YOU DO WITH IT!

WE COULD GO
TO MY HOUSE.

SURE, WE COULD.

THINK MY MOM WILL BE THERE?

I DON'T KNOW, HONEY.

BUT, YOU KNOW, UM,
PEOPLE WERE TOLD

TO STAY IN THEIR HOMES.

YOU DON'T THINK
SHE'S STILL ALIVE, DO YOU?

NO.

YOU WANT TO SEE
SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

I JUST WANT TO GO HOME.

CAN YOU PLEASE,
GRAHAM?

I MEAN, WOULD YOU JUST--

WHY CAN'T WE JUST
EAT FOR ONCE...

EAT IN PEACE?

WHY CAN'T WE?

I'LL TAKE YOU, HARRY.

I TELL YOU WHAT.

WE STOP
AT YOUR HOUSE.

YOU GET
WHAT YOU NEED.

THEN WE GO WHEREVER WE WANT.

WE CAN DO THAT, RIGHT?

YEAH, SURE.

WE'VE GOT
THE WORLD TO OURSELVES.

SO WE GO OUT INTO IT.

I'VE SEEN SOME OF IT.

I WAS IN THE NAVY.

BUT I TELL YOU, HARRY,
IT'S BIG.

A LOT OF PLACES TO SEE.

SO WHERE
YOU WANT TO GO?

WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO?

UM...

OH, WELL,
I WOULD LIKE TO GO TO A BEACH.

YES.

SOMEWHERE WARM.

I'M THINKING

NEW YORK CITY.

LIVE IN A PENTHOUSE
FOR A WHILE.

THAT WOULD BE COOL.

I'D STAY OUT
OF THE CITIES,

IF I WERE YOU.

RATS.

JOURNAL ENTRY -- DAY 92.

WHO LIVES?

WHO DIES?

IF GOD CUTS THE THREAD,
THEN I PRAY FOR HIS GUIDANCE.

MAJOR?

WHAT IS THIS?

IT'S FOR HARRY.

IT STINKS OF
ANTI-BACTERIAL SPRAY,

BUT IT'S CLEAN.

WHERE
DID YOU GET IT?

HIS MOTHER.

SHE WALKED ALL THE WAY
TO THE HOSPITAL.

APPARENTLY
IT'S HIS FAVORITE.

THERE WAS
A NOTE WITH IT,

BUT IT DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE.

SHE'S IN THE
LAST STAGES, SO I...

WHERE IS SHE?

SHE'S OUT FRONT,

BUT YOU DON'T WANT
TO SEE HER.

MARIE, YOU DON'T.

I GOT TO GET
BACK OUT THERE.

THEY'RE
STILL COMING.

( PA announcer )
GO BACK TO YOUR HOMES!

THERE'S NOBODY HERE
THAT CAN HELP YOU!

PLEASE GO HOME!

( bell ringing )

I'M COMING, MR. KATZ!

I'M COMING.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.

I'M HERE NOW. I'M HERE.

I WAS AFRAID
YOU WEREN'T COMING.

NO, NO.

I SHOULD HAVE CHECKED ON YOU.

YOU HAVE NOTHING
TO BE SORRY ABOUT.

OH, THERE, THERE,
THAT'S BETTER.

YES.

GOD BLESS YOU.

I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT THIS LIST OF YOURS.

PROMISE ME YOU'LL SAVE YOURSELF.

I CAN'T.

IF I SHOULD
OUTLIVE YOU,

I COULDN'T BEAR IT.

I'VE BEEN READING.

THE THREE
INOCULATED PEOPLE

WILL DEVELOP ANTIBODIES
FOR BERLIN C.

SO?

GIVEN ENOUGH TIME,

WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO CREATE SERUM
FROM THEIR BLOOD

TO INOCULATE
EVERYONE ELSE.

THAT'S GOOD.

OH, THAT'S GOOD.

MOMMY?

OH, WHAT IS IT,
KIDDO?

IT'S LATE.

I WET MY BED.

OH, IT'S OKAY.

IT'S NOTHING TO BE SAD ABOUT.

THAT CAN BE FIXED.

BUT IT NEVER HAPPENED
BEFORE.

AM I SICK NOW?

NO, YOU'RE NOT SICK.

IT CAN HAPPEN
SOMETIMES.

COME TO MY BED.
COME HERE NOW, OKAY?

I'M GOING TO GO AND GET YOU

A NEW PAIR OF PAJAMAS
AND SHEETS,

AND EVERYTHING'S
GOING TO BE OKAY, ALL RIGHT?

I'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

( saw whirring )

WHAT THE HELL
ARE YOU DOING?

IT'S THE MIDDLE
OF THE NIGHT.

MR. KATZ JUST
GOT TO SLEEP.

AIN'T HE DEAD YET?

( laughing )

YOU SAID
IT WASN'T READY YET,

AND IT'S GOOD.

IT'S FINE.

WELL, LUCKY YOU.

YOU WERE KEEPING ME
IN A CAST

TO KEEP ME IN LINE?

SHE'S
A POWER TRIPPER.

I THOUGHT IT WAS TOO SOON.

AND I STILL DO.

HUH.

I GUESS YOU WERE WRONG.

OH!

SEE? IT WORKS!

TWO MORE DAYS.

TWO MORE DAYS, AND YOU CAN'T
TELL US WHAT TO DO NO MORE.

FEEL LIKE
AN ASTRONAUT.

WELL, IT WILL PROTECT
YOU, DON'T WORRY.

THE MAJOR WENT IN
AND OUT ALL THE TIME.

JUST TELL ME I GOT
THIS THING ON RIGHT.

YOU DO, YOU DO.

OKAY, READY.

HERE.

OKAY,
LEAVE A LIGHT ON.

I'LL BE WATCHING YOU
FROM THE WINDOW.

DOGS!

JAMES! JAMES!

HE CAN'T HEAR YOU.

JAMES, GET INSIDE THE TRUCK!

GET IN!

( dogs barking and snarling )

GET OUT OF HERE!

GET OFF OF ME!
GET OUT OF HERE!

NO, GET OUT OF HERE!

GET OFF! GET OFF!

( dogs barking and snarling )

( engine not starting )

DAMN!

( engine starting )

( engine stalling )

COME ON! COME ON!

( engine not starting )

WE HAVE
TO GO GET HIM!

WE CAN'T, BABY.
HE'S BEEN EXPOSED.

BUT WE NEED FUEL
FOR THE GENERATOR.

I KNOW THAT.

( truck horn
honking )
( bell ringing )

WHAT DO WE DO NOW?

I'M THINKING, OKAY?!

MARIE,
WHAT DO WE DO?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE DO!
I DON'T KNOW!

( truck horn honking )

WHAT DO WE...?

( footsteps approaching )

( door opening )

( knocking )

KNOCK, KNOCK.

MAJOR, COME ON IN.

IT'S ALL QUIET
OUTSIDE NOW.

I'VE STILL GOT TWO MEN
OUT THERE, BUT...

I DON'T THINK
YOU'LL HAVE

TO LISTEN TO
ANY MORE SHOOTING.

I JUST, UH,

WAS GOING TO GRAB
A COUPLE HOURS SLEEP.

ANY NEWS?

THE LAST ANNOUNCEMENT

WAS THAT THE PRESIDENT
AND HIS SENIOR STAFF WERE SAFE.

DON'T YOU FEEL BETTER.

WHAT ABOUT THE CDC?

THEY'RE WORKING
ON A VACCINE,

BUT IT MAY
STILL TAKE WEEKS.

I MADE SURE
THEY KNOW WE'RE HERE.

YOU HAVE A FAMILY?

YOU KNOW,

WIFE, KIDS?

NO...YOU?

MY MOM.

TWO DOGS, A CAT.

THEN I UNDERSTAND

WHY DR. EGAN WANTED TO GO HOME.

IF I HAD A FAMILY, I MIGHT--

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

IT'S OKAY.

THE GENERATOR
WILL COME ON.

IT'S OKAY, MARIE.

MARIE?

MARIE?

YOU'RE OKAY.

SHE'S OKAY.

WHAT?
YOU FAINTED, DEAR.

WHAT?

THE GENERATOR.

OH, IT'S STILL RUNNING.

FORGET ABOUT THAT.

WHAT'S THIS?

GRAHAM, I NEED--

WHAT THE HELL IS IT?

I NEED THOSE INSTRUCTIONS
TO MAKE THE VACCINE.

THIS SAYS THERE'S ONLY ENOUGH
FOR THREE PEOPLE.

YEAH, BUT--

WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL US?

WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER WAY OF--

WHEN? WHEN YOU TOOK CARE
OF YOURSELF AND THE KID?

GRAHAM, IT WAS JUST--

OH, MY GOD...MR. KATZ.

HE WAS RINGING THE BELL.

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT HIM.

I TOOK CARE OF HIM.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

I SAID I TOOK CARE OF HIM.

AH! AH!

( steady tone
from heart monitor )

( cocking gun )

GUESS YOU WEREN'T
EXPECTING US

TO LOOK FOR IT IN THERE.

( generator stopping )

THAT'S IT.

THE GENERATOR JUST CUT.

OKAY, GO, START MIXING IT UP
AND WHATEVER YOU GOT TO DO.

TIME'S UP.

IT'S TOO SOON.

YOU SAID THREE DAYS.

IT'S BEEN THREE DAYS.

STILL FIVE HOURS TO GO.

IT'S CLOSE ENOUGH,
COME ON.

NO.

GIMME THIS.

IT SAYS PREFERENCE SHOULD BE
GIVEN TO HEALTHY ADULTS

IN THEIR EARLY
REPRODUCTIVE YEARS.

ME, GRAHAM...AND KIRK.

THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS.

IF YOU LET ME CHOOSE, THERE'S
A CHANCE WE CAN ALL SURVIVE.

HOW?
NO.

IT SAYS RIGHT HERE.

THERE'S ONLY ENOUGH
FOR THREE PEOPLE.

IF WE CHOOSE BY BLOOD TYPE,

IN A FEW WEEKS THERE MIGHT BE
ENOUGH ANTIBODIES IN THEIR BLOOD

TO TRANSFUSE INTO OURS.

IT'S CALLED
PASSIVE INOCULATION,

AND SOMETIMES IT WORKS.

AND WHO ARE THE THREE?

YOU, HARRY AND JEAN.

HER?

ONLY THOSE
BLOOD TYPE COMBINATIONS

CAN PROVIDE ENOUGH DONORS
FOR THE REST OF US.

NO WAY, MAN.

GRAHAM, I'M GIVING MYSELF
THE SAME ODDS AS YOU.

IT SAYS RIGHT HERE
IN BIG FAT LETTERS, OKAY?

"CHILDREN NOT RECOMMENDED."

THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS.

THE GOVERNMENT SAYS.

DOES IT SAY THAT?

I MEAN THIS IS

SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.

THIS IS NOTHING PERSONAL.

YOU SAW WHAT HAPPENED
TO JAMES OUT THERE.

IT'S A NEW WORLD, MAN.

WE CAN'T WORRY
ABOUT KIDS AND OLD LADIES.

YOUR WAY DON'T WORK, MARIE.

IT'S TOO LATE FOR THAT.

ONCE BARB IS INOCULATED,
SHE CAN GO OUT

AND GET THE SUPPLIES
WE NEED.

GAS FOR THE GENERATOR--

MARIE, I SAID DO IT.

NO.

( screaming )

NOW.

ONLY IF HARRY
IS ONE OF THE THREE.

IT SAYS NO KIDS.

I DON'T GIVE A DAMN
WHAT IT SAYS.

IF YOU AGREE TO LET HIM LIVE,
I'LL DO IT.

OKAY.

GO.

GIVE ME YOUR WORD
YOU'LL TAKE HIM HOME.

HE WANTS TO GO HOME.

ALL RIGHT.

GO, GO.

MARIE?

YES, BABY?

I'M SCARED.

IT'S ALL RIGHT.
IT'LL BE FINE.

YOU'RE GOING
TO GO HOME SOON.

YOU OKAY?

HERE, STAY WITH JEAN.

DON'T YOU TOUCH ME!

IS IT TIME TO GO HOME NOW?

WHAT DID YOU SAY?

IT'S TIME TO GO.

THE TRUCK JUST ISN'T COMING.

THERE'S NO POINT
WAITING ANY MORE.

I'LL FIND A VAN
OR SOMETHING,

GET SUPPLIES AND COME BACK.

YOU'RE NOT SEEING ANOTHER NURSE,
ARE YOU?

ANYTHING
YOU WANT FROM THE STORE?

SURPRISE ME.

I'LL TRY.

AND, LISTEN,
IF I DON'T COME BACK--

NO...YOU COME BACK.

IT'S TIME FOR YOUR NEEDLE,
SWEETHEART.

IT WON'T HURT.

NO!

ONE OF THOSE
IS FOR HARRY!

YOU GAVE ME YOUR WORD.

YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE.

COME ON.

I DON'T FEEL
SO GOOD.

MY THROAT!

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

( gasping )

I CAN'T BREATHE!

OH, MY GOD!

JOURNAL ENTRY -- DAY 94.

THE MIRACLE WE WERE WAITING FOR
WAS WITH US ALL ALONG,

THE VERY BACTERIA
THAT FORCED US INTO QUARANTINE.

WE ARE IMMUNE.

WHERE ARE WE GOING?

TO YOUR HOUSE.

THEN WHAT?

THEN WE'LL SEE.

MARIE!

AH! JAMES?

OH! JAMES!

YOU'RE ALIVE?

I NOTICED THAT MYSELF.

DON'T ASK ME WHY.

YOU'RE IMMUNE.

WE ALL ARE.

WHY DO YOU KNOW?

BECAUSE KIRK, GRAHAM AND BARB
TOOK THE VACCINE,

AND THEY WENT INTO
ANAPHYLACTIC SHOCK.

THEY MUST HAVE BEEN
ALREADY IMMUNE.

ALL THIS TIME.

YEAH.

WELL, LET'S GO THEN.

( Control Voice )
THOUGH SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST

IS THE CORNERSTONE
OF EVOLUTION,

PERHAPS THE MEEK SHALL
INHERIT THE EARTH AFTER ALL.
