no one will ever

know it exists.

Okay, look, we gotta

get off this island

and get that tooth out

of your arm, all right?

Now stay low, and go.

Go!

Have a unit sent to Wards.

Tell them to arrest

Major Hoffman

and Dr. Gordon

on sight.

Yes, Mr. President.

Oh, my God.

General, They're heading

southbound,

heading right toward

Central Park.

We've contacted

the Secretary of Defense.

We've been told to shut down the

bridges and quarantine the city.

Good work, Simms.

What about the tracking system?

We're loading up

their GPS signal.

I'll let you know when

it's up and running.

My God.

The wolves are gonna

tear the city apart

trying to find a way out.

Our people aren't

gonna let that happen.

This is all my fault.

If I'd have just come

clean in the beginning,

none of this

would have happened.

It's okay.

Like hell, it is!

People are dying.

Get this thing out of my arm.

I will.

Got a secure place in mind?

University.

It'll have everything I need.

So how the hell are

we gonna get there?

One of those.

Isn't this electric?

Come on, stand back.

Now what?

We zip-line.

Okay, well, here goes nothing.

Relax, Major.

I don't think I can do this.

You'll be fine as long as you're

not connected to the ground.

Oh, boy.

Just do what I do.

Are you sure

you're gonna be okay?

I'll be fine.

Great. She photographs killer wolves.

She bungee jumps.

Anything else you want to

tell us about yourself?

No way.

Let's go!

Get to the boat!

Come on.

Taylor, shut down the fences

at the northwest corner, now!

Yes, sir.

Cut power to zone two now.

Okay?

Yeah.

We got company.

Marine craft on

the starboard side.

Shut down your

engines immediately,

and prepare to be boarded.

Move up next to them.

Stay down.

Hold on tight.

Stay in front.

Hang on.

Turn!

Damn it!

Hold on.

Mr. President,

Manhattan's quarantined,

but the canines are still

spreading across the island.

Why is the gas ineffective

now when it worked at JFK?

JFK was an enclosed

environment, sir.

They're out in the open now.

Mr. President,

they're moving into Central Park.

We need to give

our troops an answer.

We have a go.

Lethal force

has been authorized.

Talk to me.

We lost her, sir,

west of Roosevelt Island.

Ah, don't worry.

I've got her.

I'm on my way.

Sir, we just received

authorization from the President.

It's about time.

Light 'em up.

I got 'em. Headed south through the trees,

coming at you.

Okay, men!

Here we go.

Stand by to fire!

Fire!

Wait. F-Fall back.

How long before we get

to the university?

Oh, about 15 minutes from here.

We don't have that much time.

Can I ask you a question?

Why did that wolf bite you?

I saw your pictures

of the black wolf,

but why did it bite you?

You ever look

a predator in the eyes?

As a matter of fact, I have.

I guess I wanted to know

how close I could get.

Well, you got about

as close as you can,

'cause now you are one with him,

literally.

I gotta get us a ride.

Get out.

Go.

We have a visual on the pack,

headed south on Fifth

just below us.

Permission to engage?

Copy that.

Permission granted.

Holy...

They're on West 37th,

headed towards Broadway.

Okay, Brian,

you better start talking to me.

What did you mean when you said

that our guys wouldn't let the

wolves pass the city boundaries?

After JFK, the powers that be

decided that if the virus ever

spread into a populated area,

it would be too great a risk,

so they put an operation

in place to eradicate it.

How?

They can't be serious.

Damn.

Hold on!

Go! Go! Go!

How did they find us?

The chip!

What chip?!

The tracking chip in your arm.

Every patient got one.

Here they come. Come on.

Hold on.

Hold on. I'm going to

try to lose him.

Oh!

Oh, my God.

Whoa!

No!

Let me go!

Get the girl in the jeep

and the doctor.

No!

Come in, General.

Go ahead, Colonel.

We got the girl, sir,

and the doctor.

Hoffman's dead.

Get 'em back to Wards.

Yes, sir.

Colonel Falcons, make it quick.

The city doesn't

have much longer.

The canines have made their way

south into southern Manhattan.

It's only a matter

of time before they

make their way off the island.

The 1918 influenza pandemic

killed an estimated 90 million

people in just over a year.

Now,

if we do not contain this lupine virus,

it could infect the entire

United States within 72 hours,

within two weeks,

the entire Western Hemisphere.

You're talking about one of the

greatest cities in the world,

killing almost

2 million people,

our citizens,

just... just

wiping them out.

Sir, if we don't act,

this virus could wipe out

the entire human race,

and without a cure,

eradication is

your only option.

Sir,

the operation would be quick and efficient.

We take out all bridges

and tunnels

surrounding the city,

effectively sealing it off,

then deliver the payload,

a series of

fuel-air explosives

detonated over the island.

Sir, if we're going to act,

now's the time.

Heavy is the head

that wears the crown.

I pray that the souls

of these brave Americans

be at peace...

and that history bare the necesity

of this greatest obligation.

Do it.

They're pulling out.

Patient Zero,

you've led us on a merry chase.

Time to get that tooth.

I'm gonna make it my personal

mission to see to it

that you are charged with

everything you deserve, Mooning...

mutiny, torture, murder.

History will remember

you as nothing more

than a common thug with a gun.

That's a sacrifice

I'm willing to make

for the country

I've sworn to protect.

There won't be

a country to protect!

If the pack breaks

the city boundaries,

the infection will

spread out of control.

There will be no stopping it.

They won't get out of the city.

I promise you.

You've got 10 minutes, Doctor.

This isn't gonna hurt you.

It's gonna be okay.

I know. I trust you.

The antibodies.

I have to close.

The antibodies, Doctor.

You've got five minutes.

The canines are heading

for Brooklyn Bridge.

Donna, put pressure on this.

Ticktock, Doctor.

Whatever happens,

I know it's not your fault.

How long for the antibodies

to react to the virus?

Recognition varies,

depending on the virus.

We've never done anything

like this before.

Wait!

The vial, Doctor.

Donna.

The vial, Doctor.

We have the cure.

Move.

Sitrep?

What's going on out there?

Let's go.

They're not going anywhere.

Lift exploded, sir.

Hoffman.

Donna.

Donna, can you sit up?

I don't know how we're

gonna get out of here.

Brian.

You okay?

Thank God.

I've got it, Brian.

It worked.

Great.

Yeah.

All right, guys.

Come on. We gotta

get out of here.

You're not leaving the island

with that tooth, Hoffman.

You got 10 seconds to come out,

or we start shooting.

Kill us, and you'll

never find it.

1, 2,

3, 4, 5,

6, 7,

8, 9...

All right, Mooning.

All right.

You want the cure, you got it.

Just let the women go.

You first, Hoffman.

Heh.

Get back!

Where's Mooning?
