Pandemic

- Make a wish.

- You got one?

Yeah. Okay.

- Okay. Ready?

- Yes.

So, we are almost at Joshua Tree

and the excitement level

in the car is off the charts.

Right, guys?

Yep. Off the charts.

And I probably shouldn't be

filming this while driving.

So, Megan... any last words?

Wait a second.

No, no, no.

I'm always chasing rainbows

Waiting to find

A little bluebird

In vain

Locate Fila virus survivors.

Administer mosquito. Red retrieve.

Black leave.

Locate Fila virus survivors.

Administer mosquito. Red retrieve.

Black leave.

Locate Fila virus survivors.

Administer mosquito. Red retrieve.

Black leave.

So, you deploy in seven.

Your team has to be en route

by first light,

- so we have to do a rapid fire brief.

- Yes, sir.

Everything in the command

is coded by uniform.

The navigators wear green.

The drivers wear gray.

The gunners are camo.

The doctors are in tan.

There's one of each on every team.

Now, you've been assigned Unit 730-A.

Say hello to your new best friend.

It's time to suit up.

So, have you...

Have you seen what's out there?

I mean outside the gate?

Not lately.

I have a rational fear of dying.

What's been happening

is that the extraction teams

have been bringing back the infected

with the uninfecteds.

So, we've embedded a doctor with

each team to do the testing in the field,

because one slip up could bring

the whole compound down.

So, the doctor's job, your job,

is to make sure that doesn't happen.

This goes up...

and over. How's it feel?

Heavy.

We received this transmission

from Dr. Ward.

Control, this is Dr. Ward. We came across

98 uninfected at Saint Mary's supply drop.

Fortysix are accompanying us.

We need to send...

And it just cuts out.

No more communication.

We don't know where Ward is.

Now, we presume

that the remaining 52 uninfected

are barricaded inside

Saint Mary's prep downtown.

Your mission is to get down there,

retrieve this virus

and bring it back to the compound.

You'll be with Team 314.

- The navigator'll have the details.

- Yes, sir.

Okay, here's a geographic illustration

of where the virus started.

And here's where we are now.

I'll take that back.

Okay, so the camera stays on at all times.

The information we've recorded

has been invaluable in the fight.

I'm gonna check your kit, okay?

You don't need this. All communication

will be through the suit transmitter.

- Sir, in New York we took extra phones.

- No exceptions.

- Understood, doctor?

- Yes, sir.

Great. Okay. Stay here.

We're gonna check the seal.

You have three minutes till departure.

All right, raise your hands and rotate.

Clear. Light and radio check.

- Night vision activated.

- Helmet light?

No, right side.

Helmet light off.

And radio?

- Left, right. Left, right.

- Radio is functional.

That building over there,

that's Quarantine A.

When you return, the survivors

are brought there for isolation.

What's in there?

That's where you bring the survivors.

That's all you need to know.

This is Quarantine B.

This is where the infected

are brought for research.

Now, we've separated

the infected into five types.

- I'm sorry. You said five?

- Level 1...

flu-like symptoms.

Initially mistaken for Ebola.

This is Level 2, the hemorrhaging begins.

Level 3, patient secrets a black necrotic

blood from prolonged internal hemorrhaging,

brain damage from blood loss, confusion

from high fever, extreme aggression.

- And here's Level 4.

- Help us. Please.

This is the interesting stage,

the hibernation stage.

Kinda like suspended animation.

Comatose, unresponsive.

The heart eventually stops,

or so we thought.

But it actually slows

so that it's virtually untraceable.

Look at these two.

They come together in love,

but the first one to wake up will kill

the other one and not know why.

We were euthanizing Level 4's,

but we ran outta potassium chloride.

And that's when we discovered

a second incubation. Follow me.

Wait. We only diagnosed

four levels of infection.

Yeah. Well, no wonder New York fell.

Okay, now...

Do not step off the yellow line.

Repeat that.

- Do not step off the yellow line.

- Okay.

Level 5, severe brain damage.

The Fila virus

has mutated into a rabid state.

The patient becomes extremely violent

and will attack and kill anything

it encounters, even its own family.

- Let me go! Somebody, help me!

- I told you to stay on the yellow line!

Listen, you drop your guard

for one second and they will kill you.

We can't have that, doctor,

you're too valuable.

- Jesus.

- What are they doing?

- You're shooting them?

- Yeah, that's the way it is.

Look, we're not proud of it, but humanity

left this city a long time ago.

I thought that was all we had left.

This is an uphill battle

we're fighting and we are losing.

I know you worked a long time

in the lab. If you can't make it...

New York wasn't a cake walk.

I survived there. I made it here.

I can handle it.

Good.

It's time to move.

- Is your radio off?

- Yes, sir.

This is between you and me. You're the only

one with CDC credentials on the team.

Now, while the gunner has

tactical command, you're in charge.

Now, if you become infected,

keep it to yourself. Don't tell anyone.

And when you return,

you'll be taken care of.

With antitoxins, Level 1 is treatable.

That applies to you and you alone.

If another member of the team gets infected,

you leave by any means necessary.

Now, we stayed strong for 33 days.

New York fell. We don't have to.

- Now, state your mission.

- Extraction. Saint Mary's Prep.

Eighty-nine Fila virus survivors.

Locate. Administer mosquito.

Red retrieve. Black...

- If the blood test is positive?

- We leave them behind.

Without exception. Hey, Lauren, good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Sir?

I was just wondering if we have any

new information about... Team 313.

No. Sorry.

- Sir?

- Yeah?

- Permission to search for 313?

- Turn your radio on.

Listen up, everyone. This is Dr. Greer.

Stay in the designated group.

Do not deviate to look for family

and friends. Stay strong.

Snatch the survivors.

Get home safe. Greer out.

You the doc on my 314?

- Yes, I'm Dr. Lauren Chase.

- You look fresh.

You got red on you, man.

You already bringing bad luck

and we ain't even out the gate yet.

Let's get this over with.

- So, you're the navigator?

- I am. I'm Denise.

Right. Dr. Chase.

- Mind if I take a look at the route?

- Sure thing.

I laid out three routes

based on unobstructed roads.

- Let's... let's try Number 2.

- Okay.

Hey, Doc, why don't you focus

on doing your own job? Let us do ours.

Hey, ignore him.

We're very happy to have you on board.

- Thank you.

- Okay.

Good morning, doctor.

We need you stand watch in the rear

when we get through the tunnel.

This is for me? I'd rather stay back here

and do my work if that's possible.

We need everyone. Here.

Take it. Take it.

- You ever play Whac-A-Mole?

- Yeah.

Okay, good.

Then you understand the concept.
