Containment Page #2

-Enough.

We have to work together.

We have to use what we have.

You're strong,

You're a doctor. - A nurse..

But you are.

-Enid has experience.

-And you make things.

- And... I'm an artist.

You have tools.

We need more than tools,

we need chemicals...

We need something that could...

-What?

-It's a stupid idea.

That would never work.

-What won't?

-Forget it.

-Please.

We have to try.

-It's medicinal.

-Of course it is.

- Hey!

-There's my pens.

You're a little klepto, aren't you?

Could you pour that in for me?

-That will do?

-What is that?

-Well I made use of it for years as a sculptor

using household chemicals.

to melt plastics into metal.

-Like that piece of sh*t

in your apartment?

-Yes, like that piece of

sh*t in my apartment.

All right, everyone stand back.

-On three.

One... two... three...

It definitely moved.

A little.

-Do you hear that?

- They're right beneath us.

-Of course they are.

They weren't doing this

one block at a time, were they?

-Can you hear anything?

-I'll tell you something, kid.

It wasn't like this in the war.

You'd hear the sirens,

you'd know that it'd be it.

But it didn't mean

you acted like animals.

-This is pointless.

- Come on! One, two...

OK! First thing we do is

take care of the sniper.

-And how do you plan on doing that?

-I thought we'd use

you as a human shield.

-One of us can get out

and get a message to some one.

Who?

- I do not know. The authorities?

-Wake up Sal! Those are the authorities!

No one's coming to rescue us!

Where is he, what was his name?

- Who. - The kid in a spacesuit?

I've looked everywhere.

-Nicu!

Come out, sweetheart!

-He'll show up.

Nicu! Not interesting, bro!

-You've already checked there.

- Well, I'm checking again.

I thought we were getting out.

Wasn't that the plan?

-Where is he?

-If you could just keep calm...

- F*** it!

We have a problem. I just want to

know where my husband is and what's wrong with us.

Come with us.

- No! I'm not going anywhere with you!

What are you doing?

Give her a sedative.

- I do not need a sedative! I just wanna know...

-Don't bother.

Stage three already.

What? So we just leave her?

-Formal orders.

Leave her alone. move out

Nicu! What the f***, man?

Nicu?

Can you climb back up, man?

Don't worry. You're not in any trouble.

You're good. just come back out, you hear?

Listen, buddy. Just grab a hold

and I'm gonna pull you up.

OK? You got it?

One, two...

Take him to the tent!

Let him go!

-Listen, do you want to find

out what's happening or not?

And until this morning

you didn't give a sh*t

about our neighbors either, so

Don't lecture me on caring. Hey!

-You got any left?

-Stop!

It's tear gas.

- I know!

-Why would they need that?

- Exactly.

-Now you need to tell

us what's going on.

Why do you need to

wear this suit?

What are you doing?

- Leave her alone!

-Please don't do this.

Nicu.sign.

We've got one

-I'm alright!

Why did you do that?

- He sends out a message.

-That we're a bunch of psychos?

-That we won't be beaten.

We will begin.

Like in the war, yeah?

All units

situation is out of control!

Repeat!

The situation is out of control!

-Let me speak to him!

-What situation?

Describe it to us.

-Identify yourself. -I live here.

-This is a restricted channel. whose radio are you using?

-She's fine. Just tell

us what's happening.

-We're here to help. Pass me on

to my college so I know she's safe.

Do you read me?

-I've got a better idea!

Why don't you come get her?

-I know the situation is confusing,

but you have to understand...

-Where are you going?

-This is an all unit call, containment is...

-Talk!

I said talk!

-Listen, Just listen to me..

Let me talk to her.

Yeah. I'll try and reason with her.

-What's your name?

Come on... Just a name.

I'm Mark.

This is Enid.

Nicu.

-Hazel.

- Hazel.

-Whatever you think of us,

we really are trying to help.

-Like how you helped the kid out there?

-He wasn't...we

-We were just there to breach the perimeter.

- Perimeter? So now we're in prison now?

-If this is all for our safety,

why do you need these?

-Something is happening out there.

Did you get out unarmed?

What are you doing?

No. Please.

- So if I just open this...

-No, please!

Don't!

-She's not wearing it to protect us

from what's out there,

she's wearing it to protect her from us!

-What's wrong with us?

-Hazel?

We think the first case has started a month ago.

-i knew it!

-We hoped it was isolated,

but it spread so fast!

-But what caused it?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

I really don't!

-How come no one reported it?

-We told them not to.

- Why the secrecy?

-Widespreasd panic would

just make things worse.

-Worse than this?

-they told us to isolate infected areas.

Run tests and not tell anyone except please...

- Please remain calm?

You can't keep a lid on this forever.

When people get better,

word's gonna get out and...

-How many patients

have recovered, Hazel?

-There is a chance that

none of you are infected.

-And a chance we all are?

-So.. This virus...

What does it do?

the rate of progression

varies, but in most cases we've seen it...

...begins in the throat.

it becomes difficult to

breathe and to speak.

The next stage is rapid

macular degeneration.

-That means we all go blind!

-Finally...the vital organs

shut down one by one.

It can be very fast.

but it's never painless.

-Well, you have a vaccine, right?

-We're not prepared. it was too

quick, too widespread.

-How widespread? Please

my wife and kid are out there.

-I don't know. That's all

I know, I'm sorry...

-Sergei, no!

-What she can do is breathe

the same air as us.

What's that? Huh?

I said she was holding out on us.

-What's in the syringe?

-A Vaccine.

Well, a prototype.

-Does it work?

- I don't know.

What do you know?

If we make it through

the next 24 hours

without showing symptoms

we might stand a chance.

-That's reassuring!- Then we have to go!

- That's right!

But they can't treat

all of us, can they?

- But anyone else within

that door be a carrier.

A moment of contact,

breathing the same air,

that's all it takes.

Your best chance for survival

is to stay inside.

I wasn't trained me for this.

It's all been some war zone.

-You are...

-We've been through this already.

-Maybe we could share it?

-She said the dosage was too low.

Just be wasting it.

-OK. then the moment anyone feels sick,

they have to let everyone know.

-Then what?

We quarantine them.

And how is that gonna work?

because we would have already breathed the same air...

-Get off of me!

-What? Are you going to

f*** me?

-Get off him!

-Brother.

-Under the canopy of palm trees

and suddenly...

Into a big blue lagoon

and they knew it was a sign...

Let's try Number 18,

it is one of...

-You're wasting your time.

They have changed frequencies.

-Come on. Your turn!

Well, then suit yourself.

Still counts as your turn.

-There must something
