Contagion Page #5

Also, you need to get in touch|with the waiter...

...who brought me my room service|last night.

I need all of their numbers.|Home, cell, everything, yes.

Mears?

Dr. Cheever...

...I think I'm sick.

What? What's going on?|What kind of symptoms do you have?

Can't swallow. Severe headache.

What's your temperature?

- 101.8.|- Listen, you can't... You just...

- You can't panic now, okay?|- I know.

- Are you alone?|- I've definitely infected other people.

You don't know that.

- So, what should I do?|- Well, I want you to stay in your room.

I'll call the Health Department,|tell them you're there.

- Erin, just... You're gonna be okay.|- No, I know. I know.

- Okay.|- You gotta send somebody else.

Yes, but you don't worry|about that right now, okay?

- Hey, I'm...|- You take care of yourself.

I'm sorry I couldn't finish.

That's... Never mind that. Let me see|what I can do about getting you back here.

- I'm gonna get you home if I can, healthy.|- Thank you.

- Now, you hang in there.|- Bye.

- Bye.|- Bye.

The problem is,|we just can't take delivery of the bodies.

We have insurance issues|with our own employees...

...with our union, not to mention the health|of the mourners, to consider.

I just...|I wanna bury my wife and my stepson...

...and have a service where our friends|and our family can come...

...and pay their respects and grieve.

I understand,|and I am truly sorry about your loss.

Have you considered other options?

How can they do that?|We have a family plot here.

They want us to think about cremation.

They just say that it's the safest thing|in a situation like this.

I wanna be buried|with my daughter and grandson...

...with Jack and my parents.

I want us all together.

They're not gonna take them, Sarah.|They're not gonna take the bodies.

I'll figure something out.|I'll figure something out.

She made mistakes, Mitch...

...but I know she loved you very much.

I'm gonna use some of these|to get us some drinks, okay?

You have not reached Jon Neal...

...but you will if you leave a message.

Hi. It's me.

I checked the flights,|and I can actually get an earlier flight...

...that would give me a five-hour layover|in Chicago...

...so let me know if that's something|that you'd like me to do.

- That's for you, okay?|- Oh, thank you.

Thank you very much. Thank you.

- Excuse me.|- Oh, my God.

Thank...

- Emhoff gave it to the Ukrainian.|- That just shows contact.

Maybe it went the other way.|What about Li Fai?

- He was on the casino floor.|- Watch this.

Oh, good. Okay, come on.|Let's get one together. Ready?

Cheers.

Let's go.

That's him with Emhoff at 12:08.

I can show you the Ukrainian woman|on the security camera in the elevator...

...going back to her room|20 minutes earlier.

She was gone before Li Fai started work.

It came from here.

Emhoff is the index patient.

We need to know everywhere she went|before the casino.

I want to see her itinerary again.

They say the French and Americans|have a cure.

They're manufacturing it in secret.

WHO knows,|but they're in bed with the Americans.

- Who says?|- The Internet.

- The Internet? And you believe it?|- I don't know.

How's your mother?

We tried forsythia, but she wasn't strong.

There's a mass grave in Lan Tau.

I'm sorry.

I'm taking this to the ministry.|We need to send this to Geneva.

I need you to come with me.

- What are you doing?|- Please.

No.

What's going on? Sun Feng.|What's going on? What are you doing?

- What are you doing?|- I'm sorry.

We couldn't wait any longer.

While they cure each other, we're here...

...at the end of the line.

This is what is left of my village.

- Are they sick?|- Not yet.

And we're gonna keep it that way.

You'll stay here with us|until they find a cure.

How is that gonna help?

You're gonna get us|to the front of the line.

Dr. Mears.

Dr. Cheever called again.

We're just having a hard time|with the logistics of evacuating you.

Finding a plane and all.

I got your phone.

Dr. Cheever, he asked you to call|if you feel up to it.

Now, we're setting up a special ward...

...for medical personnel|and first responders at the university.

I wanna move you there...

...but the nurses' union|is calling a work stoppage...

...until protocols are in place.

There are volunteers, but it's just...

It's hard right now to know|where's the right place.

You're asking me to spend|a lot of resources on one person...

...and right now, I can't do that.

Dr. Mears would agree with me.

She's one of our own, Lyle.|We sent her up there.

Okay, I sent her up there.|I would like to go get her back.

We have a plane with an isolation pod...

...to bring our people in the field home|when they're sick, right?

What's going on, Lyle?

There's a sick congressman|from Illinois in D.C.

He was in Chicago over the holiday.

They're using the pod to fly him home.

Then they're closing down Midway|and O'Hare.

The governor is calling the National Guard.|They're setting up roadblocks.

They're shutting down trade,|public transportation.

The Teamsters are pulling drivers|off the road.

- People are still gonna slip through.|- Yes, they will.

The Secret Service|is moving the president underground.

Congress is figuring out|how to work online.

When the word goes out...

...there will be a run on the banks,|gas stations, grocery stores, you name it.

People will panic.|The virus will be the least of our worries.

It will tip over now.

We just need to make sure|that nobody knows until everybody knows.

My temperature's 101.

Higher than it was earlier.

My head hurts...

...and my throat feels like it's closing.

This is forsythia.

I've been taking it|since the onset of the symptoms.

If I'm here tomorrow,|you'll know it works.

Truth Serum Now. I'm Alan Krumwiede.

How many people are gonna die?

Well, in 1918...

...1 percent of the population died|from Spanish flu.

It was novel, like this,|no one had ever seen it before.

- One percent of America?|- One percent of the world.

As many as 70 million people could die,|baby, maybe more.

- So, what do we do?|- I don't know. We try to figure it out.

This is why I sent Mears up there,|to Minnesota.

And now I can't get her back.

She's sick, Aubrey,|and I can't do anything for her...

...because there are no nurses.

- Why not?|- Because they're on strike.

- How can they do that?|- Because there's nothing they can do.

We're putting healthy people|next to sick people...

...and hoping the healthy people|don't get sick.

- I'm sorry, Ellis, but that's not your fault.|- I sent her up there, Aubrey.

If one in four are dying, that means|three out of four are living, right?

So the odds are in her favor.

I want you to get in your car|and drive down here to Atlanta now.

You hear me, Aubrey?

What are you talking about?

I want you to get in your car|and leave Chicago.

I want you to drive here to Atlanta.|Drive by yourself.

You do it. You do it now.|Don't tell anyone and don't stop.
