Quarantine Page #5
You can't arrest me for that,
because of self-incrimination...
Sir, you are the least
of my worries right now, okay?
- All right, I was just asking.
- Go.
Do what you're gonna do, please.
I'm going. I'm going.
You ever seen
anything like this before?
No, I've never
seen anything like this.
Mostly because I'm a vet.
I don't usually treat people.
Dogs and cats, mostly.
All I can really do is I can dress
their wounds and try to comfort them.
How are the injured men doing?
They both lost a lot of blood,
and the fireman over here...
...he's got a bunch of broken bones
and probable internal bleeding.
Apparently, Mrs. Espinoza attacked
and bit them in some kind of a fit.
But honestly,
I find that a little hard to believe...
...that an old lady could do
something like this to two grown men.
Ready? Ready to film?
Okay.
- What's your name?
- Briana.
Briana, that's a very pretty name.
How old are you, Briana?
- Five.
- And who do you live with?
With my mom
and my dad and my dog, Max.
Max. I haven't met Max. Where is he?
My dad took him to the vet
because he's sick.
- You sound a little sick yourself.
- Yeah.
- She's had it for weeks, it's not like...
- You know what?
If you don't mind, I'd like to keep
you quiet while I interview Briana.
It confuses the audience
when people talk from off-camera.
- Oh, God, I'm sorry.
- No, no, it's okay.
- I'll interview you afterwards.
- No, that's fine.
- Okay.
- We don't need that.
Okay, thank you.
I don't like being sick.
Yeah, I don't like being sick either.
Briana, you're a very brave girl...
...and I'm really happy
we got a chance to meet.
- Yeah?
- Yeah.
She's been fearless
since she was little.
She's an incredibly strong child.
Okay? Okay.
Why don't you just start
by introducing yourselves?
Well, I'm Ber... I'm Bernard.
This is my roommate, Sadie.
And this is Martini.
And how long
have you lived in the building?
I've lived here six years.
I've been here two and a half years.
And what do you do for a living?
I'm an opera teacher.
Sadie's my best student, my protg.
- Oh, my God.
- Fletcher.
Where's the vet?
Oh, my God.
Where the hell is the doctor?
I got him, got him, got him.
Hold him, hold him.
Hold his neck, hold his neck.
What is that?
- Hold it over, hold his neck.
- Go, go, go.
Oh, my God, is he still alive?!
Hold him still, hold him still.
He's gonna go down.
Martini!
Sadie, stay here! Stay here!
No, no, stay here, stay here!
No, the dog will come back!
Martini.
Hold him.
- Okay, I have to show you something.
- What?
Have to show you something.
Just a sec.
I think I know what this is.
- Come, come look, look, look.
- Oh, Jesus.
Her tear ducts and salivary glands
are constantly flowing.
She seems
to be unable to swallow or speak.
She has a fever, she's confused.
She has some degree
of paralysis and delirium.
These are all rabies symptoms.
- Are you sure?
- I'm a vet.
Never seen it in humans,
but I know what rabies look like.
Are you trying to tell me
these people have rabies?
Tears, saliva, fever.
Tears, saliva, fever.
They have what she has.
But here's the thing. Rabies
takes months for symptoms to show.
This is taking minutes.
I mean, rabies never acts this fast.
How does rabies spread?
Through bites?
No, it's passed through anything wet.
Blood, saliva, any mucous membrane.
So if you get their blood on you,
you're okay.
But if you get their blood on you...
...and it gets into a cut,
into your mouth, eyes...
...then you're not okay.
How's it cured?
No, there's no cure.
People get shots in their stomach.
Before symptoms starts showing.
Once symptoms show,
rabies is 100 percent fatal.
Sh*t.
Yeah, sh*t.
- Where are you going? Where?
- I'm going up to my apartment.
- What?
- I am going upstairs.
You can't do that.
- Why?
- Come down.
- Why?
- What do you mean?
- Why can't I go?
- We gonna do this all night?
- You know why?
- Because it's not safe there.
Oh, yeah, because it's really safe down here.
- You're drunk.
- You know what?
It seems to me, if this is spreading,
maybe we should separate...
...instead of sitting here
in a big group.
You done? You finished?
- You done?
- You know what?
I have a God-given right to protect
myself as I see fit, so you know what?
- I'm gonna go upstairs...
- Step back.
I'm gonna go and I'm
gonna barricade the sh*t out of it.
- Where do you think they're going?
- You can all sit here and rot.
Oh, you are so close to going to jail.
- Are you some kind of affirmative...?
- You are so close to going to jail.
- Hey.
- Hurry up, hurry up.
- What?
- Where are you going?
Look, this lets out
right next to our apartment.
We wanna see if there's anything
on the news about this.
- But the cable's out.
- Cable?
We still use rabbit ears on our TV.
We're going with you.
Wait, wait, wait, we're going with you.
It's just up here to the right.
You're good?
- Stop. Just stop.
- What?
Go back downstairs.
The door locked behind me.
Just stay there.
Oh, my God. Oh, God.
Hey, look out!
- Oh, my God!
- Look out!
No, no, no!
We can't just open the door!
We need something to hold the dog back with!
- Find something!
- There's a fire extinguisher!
Oh, my God.
Stop, stop!
Listen.
Turn it off, Scott. Turn it off!
Oh, I forgot something.
- Shouldn't we shut the door?
- Close the door.
- Okay.
- I left the music on.
Folk music.
The TV's back here.
All right.
Okay.
It usually takes
There we go, all right.
- Fiddle with this...
- Make sure that...
No, I know what I'm doing.
- No, I'm...
- Yeah, I know, all right?
- ... third hour of our coverage.
- There.
- There it is.
- ... receiving conflicting reports.
- hind me was comp... Evacuated...
- that the CDC...
Chief.
Tell us why the CDC
is entering the building.
Precaution.
Everyone's been evacuated.
What?
Why would he broadcast that?
Why would he say that?
What the f*** is going on here?
- What happened?
- Power's out.
Oh, Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ.
- What was that?
- Quiet.
Sadie, stay with me.
Sadie, come here.
Sadie, come over here.
Stay with me.
It cannot be!
- Stay with me, stay with me!
- You gotta close that door!
Sadie, look out!
- Get off!
- Oh, my God!
Get off of me!
Bernard, stay with me!
Hit her again!
Oh, my God.
Angela, you have blood
all over your shirt.
- Scott.
- What?
Scott.
What do you want?
You okay?
Yeah, I'm just fine.
I mean, I just killed something
with my camera...
...and, you know, I'm just fine.
Yeah.
Scott.
What, Angela? What you?
