Contagion Page #8

What about Mears or my father or you?

I'm gonna take a bow|while you get hauled in front of Congress?

What do I say when they ask about that?

You tell them that I told a loved one|who told a loved one...

...and that I'd do it again.

Without you...|Ally, you have saved millions of lives.

That's a great story.|It also happens to be true.

Now, how often can you say that?

The next citizens to receive|the MEV-1 vaccination...

...are those born on the date...

What is that? January 11th.

Okay. All right, 144.

That's... There's still 200...

More than 200 birthdays, hon,|that haven't been called, so that's good.

That's a good number.

- What if they run out?|- They're not gonna run out.

They have enough to keep up with demand.|They said that already.

Maybe I'm immune like you|and I don't even need it.

That's not a chance we're gonna take.

So instead we lose spring,|we lose summer...

...we lose another 144 days|that don't happen again.

Why can't they invent a shot|that keeps time from passing?

It's gonna start|getting normal again, Jory.

How do you call this, "fish," in Chinese?

This is yu.

- This is beautiful.|- Thank you.

It's time. We have to run. He just landed.

I want you to keep drawing...

...and Assand will come|and finish the class, all right?

I'll see you soon.

- See you.|- See you.

Tsuen Wan Cemetery|off the Number 3 Expressway.

It's close to where you are now.|In 15 minutes.

One hundred doses.|Nobody from the ministry, no police.

If we see anybody else, any other vehicles,|you'll never see her again.

Yes?

Yes, I'm fine.|Please give them what they ask.

I just wanna go home.

Once we have the vaccine,|we'll tell you where to find her.

- Is it French or American?|- We could not get enough from the French.

It's been made here.|The same formula, though.

It is effective, I promise.

There, be careful.

Wait, where is she?

- We don't know what it is.|- Well, we have no choice.

Where is Dr. Orantes?

Now, wait, this is not what we agreed on.

Are you okay?

Yes, I'm fine.

I'm good.

Oh, I almost forgot.

- What's that?|- Your vaccine.

The one you took was a placebo.

What?

The Chinese insisted. There have been|many abductions, not just here.

In Russia, Mexico, all over.

Government officials, scientists,|or Westerners with great wealth.

Mostly perpetrated by organized crime|or revolutionary groups...

...trying to extort medicines.

The Chinese don't negotiate|with kidnappers. It wasn't up to us.

We've got a limited supply,|just like everyone else.

Leo... Leonora.

Where are you going?

Blood results came back, Mr. Krumwiede.

You never had the virus.|You have no antibodies. You lied.

Of course that's what your labs say.

Forsythia is a lie.

It's a lie,|and you made $4.5 million for telling it.

You wanna blog about that?

You are going to go away, Mr. Krumwiede,|and so is all your money.

I can't even imagine all the civil suits|people are gonna file against you...

...and I have a pretty good imagination.

Now you wanna tell people|not to get vaccinated...

...when that's the best chance|they've got.

If I could throw your computer in jail,|I would.

Made bail.

Are we done here?

Evidently, there are 12 million other people|as crazy as you are.

You made bail. Congratulations.

Cheever and wife.|Congratulate Aubrey for me.

I'd shake your hand,|but I don't wanna set a bad example.

We're gonna have an official reception|when we can get everybody in one place...

...and we really hope you can be with us.

Sure. So are you ready for yours?|I've got mine.

No, I think she's gonna|wanna do these together.

I know she sprang|for some champagne.

They have scheduled the hearings.|We'll both be expected to testify.

Right.

Good luck.

Head back, Anthony.

There you go.

Good job.

I can't give him the bracelet,|but at least you know he'll be safe.

Yeah, beats waiting|another seven months.

Okay, what do you say?

- Thank you.|- You're welcome, Anthony.

You know where this comes from,|shaking hands?

No.

It was a way of showing a stranger you|weren't carrying a weapon in the old days.

- Good job. Now go finish your homework.|- Okay.

Yeah.

You offered your empty right hand|to show that you meant no harm.

- Oh, I didn't know that.|- I wonder if the virus does.

Well, Dr. Cheever, thanks.

Take care, Roger.

You too.

You're not gonna|get in trouble for this, are you?

Will you be quiet?

My number is 287, Ellis.

If we weren't married,|I'd have to wait almost a year.

Then it's a good thing we're married.

Hold your head back.

I don't wanna give them another reason|to go after you.

Will you please be quiet|and hold your head back?

Okay, go.

Good.

And go.

Good.

All right.

Like you said, baby...

...just taking care of everybody|that's in my lifeboat.

Dad, are you coming?

Yep.

I'm just looking for the camera.
