AZIZ (NODDING HIS HEAD AND SMILING)

Ah, I don't know about this (pause) were there many of them in your time?

LOLA (LOOKING AT THE ROAD)

No. They'll put in jail for this. Why has everything changed so much?

AZIZ (LOOKS AHEAD WITH A SIGH)

So it happened. Don't blame them either, they had no choice.

We go further from Aziz and remember with him together.

INT-EXT.TV ON THE STREET AND AT HOME IN TURN – NIGHT

There is news coming.

VOICE (JOURNALISTS' VOICES ARE CHANGING)

A rare virus has been found in China. The coronavirus takes thousands of lives with it. The death rate has reached millions. Keep your distance. Quarantine. Quarantine.

INT. LABORATORY – DAY

DOZENS OF SCIENTISTS IN WHITE COATS AND MASKS are working to find a vaccine. One of them, let's call him a SCIENTIST, mixes the contents in a test tube with another substance, examines it under a microscope. Another SCIENTIST 2 drives the contents of a test tube with a syringe onto a rat and it dies. They turn to look at us in turn, another man in a dressing gown, the CHIEF SCIENTIST, leaning his hands on his sides, stands and looks at us. Scholar1 and scholar2 shake their heads from side to side, closing their eyes. The chief scientist sighs, wipes the sweat from his forehead and crosses out an inscription in the list on his hands, behind which there are many crossed out inscriptions. They have been looking for a vaccine for a long time.

INT. HOSPITAL WARD – NIGHT

A DOCTOR AND NURSES IN SPACESUITS and in ordinary masks provide first aid to A SUFFOCATING PATIENT. The patient is on oxygen. Stops breathing. The device stops showing vital signs. The doctor angrily hits the patient's bed with his hands. The patient jumps with his eyes closed. He is died. And the doctor feels hopeless, since this is not the first patient who died from the virus, and he could not help them.

INT. HOSPITAL A PLACE FOR WASHING

The doctor washes his hands, his face is covered in sweat. He starts coughing violently and slowly sinks to the floor without stopping coughing. Gets up leaning on the sink.

INT. HOSPITAL DOCTOR'S OFFICE – DAY

The nurse takes blood and nose analysis from the doctor and cries, the doctor is sitting.

A moment later, the nurse shows the answers on a piece of paper to the doctor. The doctor looks at the nurse and pats her on the shoulder, she cries. She understands that he is in the last stage of the disease. The doctor steps aside. He got sick.

INT. HOSPITAL CORRIDOR – NIGHT

PEOPLE jostle. There is very little room for passage. People cough. Standing, one of the nurses faints. Other nurses run up and give her first aid. But she doesn't open her eyes. One nurse checks her pulse and shakes her head from side to side. Everyone has tears in their eyes. One closes her mouth in a mask and her body shakes.

EXT. HOSPITAL STREET – NIGHT

THERE are PEOPLE standing, SEVERAL NURSES are doing the registration of those who came. All the people are wearing masks. The ambulance flashes quickly brakes and the PATIENT is taken out of it on a stretcher. He's suffocating. He's wearing oxygen. The doctor runs up and gives him first aid there.

AZIZ (VOICE-OVER) The virus mutated and other species appeared. After each outbreak, there were more victims.

INT.TV IN THE HOUSE

They show Goodwin.

JOURNALIST (SMILING)

Professor Arthur Goodwin, a world-renowned virologist from Australia, is in our studio today.

GOODWIN:

I want to make you happy, we have defeated the virus.

A woman about 40 years old sitting on the couch and watching the news talking on the phone.

WOMAN:

Yes, here they show. Aren't you watching? They say they found the vaccine.

The woman laughs. She's glad. It's finally over now.

AZIZ (VOICE-OVER) Since then, the virus has not returned. But it took people several years to restore their immune system.

INT. MATERNITY WARD – DAY

The woman is lying and breathing fast. She just gave birth. Covered in sweat. Lying and smiling. She is given a newborn baby in her arms. She picks him up and hugs him and kisses him on the forehead. The nurse approaches and inoculates the baby's hands. The baby is crying. The nurse smiles. The woman smiles and pats the baby on the back. Calming him down in this way. Now he won't get sick.
