Pandemic Page #2

If a mole pokes his head in,

you whack 'em right back out.

Just try to think of it

as a game. It'll help.

If you feel like you're in trouble,

just yell out. All right.

Wheeler, let's do it.

Bus 314 ready for transport.

Open in five, four, three, two...

Remember. It's just a game.

Oh, my God.

Gunner, get your ass up here, man.

- Let me in. Let me in.

- F***in' shoot him.

- I'll break the windshield.

- What the f*** do you think he's doin'?

Open the damn door.

- Keep it steady.

- You f***in' crazy?

F***. Somebody get Gunner.

- Slow down. You're too fast.

- No, keep goin'.

Don't stop. Come on. Pull me back in.

No! Denise, help me!

Close the door.

Hey, help me.

Are we clear?

I said, are we clear?

Gunner?

We're clear.

Thanks.

That... wasn't a game.

No, it's not.

So, next time, do us all a favor.

Fight back like your life depends on it.

Weren't we supposed to turn there?

The designated route

- takes us through Sherman Oaks.

- Jesus. How f***in' green are you?

Tell me somethin',

you're not familiar with the suburbs?

- I was in Manhattan.

- But you have seen Level 5's, right?

I've seen one... today.

Well, imagine hundreds of 'em

and they all got eyes for you.

That's what you get in the suburbs.

I'm sure it's fine. They're not gonna

send us through there if it's dangerous.

In downtown, all we have

to deal with are Level 2's and 3's.

Roaming the streets in gangs, armed.

She's got a point.

I say we park this b*tch, chill.

Then head back in like a few hours.

Tell Greer we didn't find sh*t.

No, we have our destination.

We're going downtown to Saint Mary's.

- That's where 313 made their last call.

- Where the f*** is 313?

- Alls we bringin' back are corpses, man.

- Listen, Saint Mary's is a supply drop.

Do you wanna eat?

Does everyone want to eat?

You heard Greer.

We stick to the designated route.

I am the Commanding Officer, and I say

we're going through Sherman Oaks.

If you wanna follow Greer's plan, go ahead.

Be my guest. Go out and steal a car.

But if you wanna stay alive,

then you stay with us.

And we're not goin'

through any suburbs. That's final.

Hey.

We're just changing the route.

We're not changing the plan. I promise.

What's 313?

Another team. They went to Saint Mary's

on a supply run, came across the survivors.

But 313 never made it back.

- His wife was their gunner.

- Greer played me the tape from your doctor.

Okay, you're gonna try to get

on this freeway here on the onramp.

Just be careful.

No. Pick up.

Pick up, pick up, pick up.

It's about time you called.

Too bad I'm not here. So leave a message.

There's no use for it.

We use our suit transmitters for com.

Get back in your seat.

Where is everybody?

There aren't many left alive,

but most of them stick around churches.

And parking garages,

they treat those things like roach motels.

They're not roaches.

They're starving and scared.

F*** this.

Don't worry. I'll put it back on.

You said you were in Manhattan.

Is that where you're from?

No, I'm from here. I was moved to New York

to be part of a team working on the vaccine.

Can you tell us how it's going,

finding a cure and all?

We've made some promising

breakthroughs with antitoxins. We...

We've extracted the contaminant from the

defective cells. We feel very confident...

Ain't nobody even figured out

what caused this sh*t-fest, man.

And we countin' on these same

f***in' idiots to save us.

- I heard it was in the water.

- There were lice and Ebola mutations,

brain parasites, the rapture.

I've heard 'em all.

What about you guys? You from LA?

- I lived in the valley with my son.

- Is he back at the compound?

This is Josh.

He passed before the virus hit,

of leukemia.

I'm sorry.

It doesn't what we did before.

It only matters what we do now.

Bullshit. Look at you

tryin' to act all tough.

- He was a traffic cop.

- Go head. Keep talkin'.

That piece might make you feel safe,

but you need it.

Anybody can pull a trigger.

You're just Greer's b*tch.

- Wheeler?

- No, let this jerkoff say what he wants.

- Put that down. I'll say a lot more.

- Yeah.

Y'all didn't ask me sh*t,

but I'll tell you anyway.

Forty-two, 92, seven off.

I call this work release.

- You're a felon.

- That scare you?

No. We all do

whatever it takes to survive.

For some of us,

this may be one last opportunity.

Yeah. For what?

A second chance.

Please stop! Please...

Help me. Please stop.

What the f*** is this?

- She doesn't look sick.

- Please...

All right, get what you need.

- I'm not sick. Please!

- Oh, man.

What are you doin'?

Get your tools. Your tools.

Sh*t.

Get me out of here, please!

Let's go, doctor!

Open the door.

Please get me out of here. I'm not...

Please get me out of here.

All right. Just take it easy.

We're gonna take care of you.

- Just relax. Just relax.

- Get me out of here.

Please. We have to get

out of here. I'm not sick.

Doc, what the hell are you doin'? Come on.

Check and see if she's infected. Let's go.

We have to get out of here now.

We have to get out of here now!

We will, ma'am. You have to calm down now.

I'm not sick. I'm not... I'm not sick.

- Come on. What are you doin'?

- Making sure this... this test...

Doctor, what are you doin'? Give it to me.

Give it to me. Give it to me.

- Here.

- I'm not sick, please.

All right, listen, just...

just turn around. Turn around.

Come on, Doctor.

Talk to me, Doctor. How she doin'?

She's not infected. She's not infected.

We can take her with us.

Let's get her on the bus. Let's go!

- Gunner, she's... she's stuck.

- She's what? What?

She's stuck. Gunner, she's stuck.

She's taped to the grate. I...

- Please, don't let me die. Please!

- Doctor, get back on the bus.

Get back on the bus!

It's a trap. It's a trap.

- Get on the bus!

- All right, let's go. Let's go.

Open the door.

Come on, come on, you can make it.

Grab my hand.

- Wheeler, slow down.

- I can't!

You're gonna shoot Gunner!

Shoot, damn it, shoot.

Sh*t!

Slow down! Slow down!

Run, you motherf***er, run!

He's in! He's in! He's in!

Never again, you hear me. You learn

your ass to run like the rest of us.

Is it over?

- What are you doing?

- Listen to me.

You better start fightin' back

or you gonna get us all killed,

and I'm not lettin' that happen.

You understand me?

Now, you go to Denise and then

you fix my goddamn shoulder.

Now do your damn job!

How could they do that?

Everybody has their limit.

Think of it like being underwater.

Holding your breath, you're fine,

but once you reach a certain point...

you'll do anything to get back on top.

Did they train you for the field?

- Yes, extensive.

- Where'd you practice before this?

What?

You are a doctor.

- So, where did you practice?

- Lab technician, 11 years with the CDC.

I was chosen to lead this team

because I am qualified to do so.

I got it. Thank you, doctor.

We're less than two miles to the school.

Let's hope we're not too late.
