I Am Legend Page #2

Synopsis: Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.

-Doctor Neville will be taking a

closer look at the ongoing mutations

of doctor Alice Krippins...

...once

hailed miracle cure for cancer.

So far almost 5000 patients injected with the retro fitted virus,

have begun exhibiting symptoms resembling the early onset of rabies.

25 patients have already died.

Doctor Neville has ordered local

hospitals to stockpile antiviral drugs

and to begin preliminary

quarantine protocols.

It's my birthday.

We are fully confident that doctor

Neville can see us trough,...

You know what I'm saying?

My name is Robert Neville,

I am a survivor living in New York City.

I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies.

I will be at the South Street

Port every day at midday.

When the sun is highest in the sky.

If you are out there,

if anyone is out there,

I can provide food,

I can provide shelter,

I can provide security.

If there is anybody out there,

anybody, please,

you are not alone.

Listen, uh,

if you're planning a party or

something ,

just tell me now.

Ok, because, I don't like surprises.

I swear I'll act surprised.

Okay?

Hey, hey! What the hell are you

doing out there Fred?

What the... What the hell,

are you...?

No! No! No!

No!

What the hell are you

doing out here Fred?

How did you get out here?

Fred, if you are real you

better tell me right now!

If you are real you

better tell me right now!

Damn it, Fred! Damn it!

I'm all right.

All right, c'mon, c'mon.

Ok, I'm ok.

Let's go.

Come on!

It's ok, You're alright.

Samantha. Samantha, look at me girl.

Hey, you're ok. You're ok.

Samantha, I just gotta get you home.

I gotta get you... I'm

gonna take you home.

Alright, come here, come here.

Come here, come here.

I got you.

I promised my friend,

I'm gonna say hello,

to you today.

Hello.

Hello.

Please say hello to me.

Please say hello to me.

Where do you live?

Where do you live?

Where do you live?

I'm on 11 Washington and Square.

You don't know where i live.

Don't let them track us.

I... I must stay out till dawn.

I am afraid the eggs are powdered.

Obviously you know that.

They are yours.

But I did find bacon.

I just have found the most

fantastic thing in history.

And some antibiotics in the bathroom.

I put them by the plate,

because your leg is ok,

but it wouldn't be for very long

if you don't start a course soon.

Who are you?

I am Anna and that's Ethan.

They'll get cold.

It's ok, come on.

We came from Maryland. We have

heard your message on the radio.

We were at the pier at

noon. We waited all day.

We are going to Vermont.

To the survivors colony.

-What?

In Bethel. It's a safe zone.

No, there's no survivals

colony, no safe zones.

Nothing happened they way it was supposed to

happen. Nothing work the way it was supposed to work.

In the mountains, there is a whole colony

of people there, who didn't get sick.

The virus, who didn't survive

the cold, there's a whole...

Shut up!

Everybody is dead. Everybody is dead.

I just need a minute. Ok?

I just... I just... I

was saving that bacon.

I was saving it.

I just... I'm gonna go upstairs.

Alright? Just... Let me go.

Ethan, put the knife down.

Can I say something to you?

Listen, you were really, really

something, back there.

Incredible. Are you talking to...

...me?

Yes, I was talking to you.

Can I just tell you that you were really

great back there with those guards.

They thought that was all of that.

And then you showed up and BAM. There was tripping

on over themselves like in the babes woods.

That made me really good to see that.

Oh, that's great. Really.

Man, it's good to be free.

Now, why don't you go celebrate

your freedom with your own fiends?

But I...

I don't have any friends.

And I'm not going out there by myself.

Hey wait a minute.

I have a great idea...

I'll stick with you.

I like Shrek.

You are not so good with

people anymore, are you.

Thank you for my leg.

Where have you been?

I was on a Red Cross evacuation

ship out off San Paolo.

Those boats weren't

meant to be permanent.

No they weren't.

When the Navy fell apart we

started docking to take on supplies.

Someone picked it up on the shore.

Five of us were immune. -You said five.

The "Dark seekers" caught them.

You are The Robert Neville, aren't you?

It is too late today. If we move tomorrow at

dawn, we can make it to Vermont a straight shot.

I'm not leaving.

This is ground zero.

This is my site.

I'm not gonna let this happen.

I can still fix this.

Wow, you scared me.

Sorry, I called down twice.

Ow, thank you.

It's heavily sedated.

Don't worry, it's safe.

I've never seen one so still.

They're always biting.

You think that can cure her?

No this will almost certainly kill it, but it is

possible by drastically reducing their body temperature,

I can increase the

compound effectiveness.

Did all of them die? -Yes.

My God.

God didn't do this, Anna. We did.

Where can Ethan sleep?

He is heavy.

She is beautiful. What's her name?

Marley.

Her name was Marley.

It's a beautiful name.

We named her after

Bob Marley.

Who? -The singer.

Damian?

His father?

His father.

That is unacceptable. -What?

Best album ever made.

You don't recognize that?

He had this idea, it was...

kind of veracious idea.

He believed that you could cure

racism and hate literally cure it,

by injecting music

and love into peoples lives

When they was scheduled to

perform at a peace rally,

gunman came to his

house and shot him down.

Two days later

he walked out on that stage,

and sang.

Somebody asked him "Why?".

He said "The people,

who are trying to make this world worse,

are not taking a day off.
