Hello, NORTHCOM, come in.

Identify yourself.

This is Major Brian Hoffman

calling you from Wards Island.

I have an EAM for the President

of the United States.

I repeat...

I have a vital message for the President.

We need to abort the mission.

60 seconds to drop.

I have the antibodies

for the lupine virus.

We need to call off

the bombing now!

Move way!

Coming through!

Get out of the way!

Sir, we have an authentic

emergency action message

coming through NORTHCOM.

Well, patch it through.

Ramp down.

30 seconds to drop.

Identify yourself.

It's Hoffman, sir.

We have the cure to lupine

in our possession.

Brian, where are you?

I'm on RFK Bridge.

We have the cure

to the virus. Over.

20, 19, 18...

How do I know you're not just

trying to save your own ass?

You know me well enough to know

that I'd give my life

to stop a contagion.

Mr. President, please.

We scraped the antibodies

from the canine tooth

that we dug out of Patient Zero's arm.

10 seconds, Mr. President.

You lose us,

and you lose the cure.

Five seconds, sir.

3, 2, 1.

Abort.

Damn! I already

dropped it!

Package released.

All stations, sitrep.

Ares Command, Razorback.

All bridges are secure.

Containment status green.

We've contained it,

Mr. President.

No contagious made

it off the island.

How bad is it?

Eastern part

of the island was hit,

but it was already

evacuated, sir.

We expect minimal

casualties, sir.

How about Hoffman and Gordon?

It's been a hell of a day.

Yeah.
