The Crazies

---

Billy, you're trying to scare me!

Billy, I'm telling mommy you're being bad!

- Zap! Got ya!

- Stop it, Billy! Stop it!

Come back to bed and go to sleep.

Stop it, Billy.

I'm afraid.

Billy, will you stop

trying to scare me!

- What's the matter; Billy?

- Watch out, sis!

What's the matter, Billy?

- What's going on here, Billy?

- I told you, hush up!

Hey, Billy, this is all wet here.

Smells like kerosene.

Mommy! Daddy!

Mommy, wake up.

Father?

Mommy, wake up!

Mommy?

Father!

Damn fire siren.

What fire siren?

That fire siren.

Don't heara thing.

You... are sabotaging...

The Evans city volunteer...

Fire department.

Mm-hmm.

Uh, didn't the doctor say

something about moderation?

What does he know?

He knows...

What a shameless,

lustful woman you are, my clear.

And he doesn't want us

to hurt the baby.

Oh. Well, we're gonna

have to be careful.

Anyhow, I have a feeling that

if anything happened to this baby...

You wouldn't marry me.

I wouldn't

take a chance like that.

Oh, now

that's a hell of a thing to say.

L'm marrying you,

not the baby.

Would you believe

i don't want you to go?

Hey, where you goin'?

David,

I've gotta answer the phone.

What phone?

Okay. I'll make you a deal.

Hmm.

I won't answer the phone if you

don't go to the fire. Deal.

Go on. Geez.

Hello.

God, that's awful.

Sure, I can come down

immediately.

Yes, doctor.

- What's that all about?

- The fire, it's at the dairy farm.

- Mitchell's?

- Mm-hmm. Yeah, those poor kids.

They're both burned pretty bad.

They're going to bring them

into Dr. broolmyre's office...

Until we can get an ambulance in

from unity.

Evans city fire hall. Where's it at?

I didn't hear the code.

That's the old dairy farm.

Must be pretty bad.

I could see the flames

clear over at my place.

Hey, clanker!

See the soldiers?

- Soldiers?

- Couple truckloads of'em.

Hmm. Poor schmucks.

Wonder what

they're doing here.

Evans city base, off and clear.

- Is Dan here yet?

- Didn't see him.

What's everybody looking so happy about?

Give me a smoke.

- Don't it bother you, draggin'

out like this? - Somethin' to do.

Good morning there,judy.

The Evans city volunteer fire department

apologizes for dragging you out of bed this way.

- You got a bad mouth, clank.

- Yeah? You're late.

I was the first one here.

David, be careful, please.

I wi I I.

Don't worry about him.

I won't let him do anything dumb, even though

i still think you picked the wrong guy.

You're a slob, clanker.

Ain't no girl gonna pick you.

I'm gonna break your head.

- Aw, ain't that cute?

- Shut up and drive.

Where's Dr. brookmyre?

Are you the nurse?

Who are you?

Where's Dr. brookmyre?

- In the office with major Ryder.

- Major Ryder?

- How many syringes do you have?

- Look, what's going on here?

Major Ryder will explain.

We haven't got time.

Break out those syringes.

We're gonna need a lot of them.

The girl just died.

I think I can save the boy.

Move, nurse!

- You've known about this for days.

- We never thought it would happen.

- But you notified me! You must have

suspected! - Notmfwxg you was precaufionary.

We never thought it was possible. We

've got to call the hospital in unity!

We need an ambulance

for those kids!

L'm afraid I can't allow that. We're bringing in our

own medical personnel with emergency equipment.

- But this isn't the sort of thing-

- look, we've quarantined the area.

We're sealing off the town.

- Have you got colonel peckem yet?

- Yeah.

Uh, get Dr. brookmyre a gas mask.

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir, they're certain.

They have three cases reported.

They're waiting

for verifying blood tests.

We'll need somebody from trixie on the spot.

Ls that being taken care of?

L'm leaving for the airstrip now.

I should be in Evans city within two hours.

Who knows about this?

Press blackout?

Yes, sir, we'll button it up. I'll be available by radio

on the plane, and I'll report in from Evans city.

All right, sir.

Give me major Ryder on 2c, please.

Major Ryder, have you set up

a perimeter around the town?

Do the best you can. Three more companies are on

their way. They may get in there before I do.

In the meantime,

try to set up some kind of a perimeter.

Nobody gets in or out of that town.

Now, is that clear?

This is a blackout situation,

so from here on in we're using

voiceprint checks for all communications.

You don't talk to me or anybody else

unless you got a voiceprint check.

That's the order of the day.

Go on, fellas, bring the hose here.

We need a lot of slack.

You may want an air mask.

Easy. Easy!

Sheriff, what the hell's going on? What do you

think, you lunkhead? There's a house burning.

- No, no, what? This about the soldiers? - Okay, let's move

it. Clear the area around the house and let it burn out.

We could still save a good part of it. Just get

the lead out of your ass and do something to help.

I want them trees down over the garage.

I don't want them trees goin' up.

There's a chain saw over by the wagon.

What the hell?

- Get that fireman by

that window there! - He just went crazy.

He set that fire himself.

His wife's dead.

He killed her.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

When Mac and I first came here,

he was laughing like a hyena.

Then all of a sudden, like as if

he had realized what he had done,

he started to cry like a baby.

Look out the car in there!

Lt's gonna blow up! Come on, man!

Attaboy! Go in through that window!

Come on, through the window!

Oh, my trees! My trees!

They're all gonna go!

Uh, that is correct.

With the ultraviolet light operative,

there is no need for your masks.

We want all medical personnel to wear their masks

at all times, however, and any civilian volunteers.

You will need masks outside the

protected area, looks good. Looks good.

But in the ultraviolet,

we're considering it safe without a mask.

How much serum do we have?

Not very much, I'm afraid.

Boy, you people

sure come prepared, don't you?

Everything's on its way, doctor. I mean, i

can't snap my fingers and make it appear!

In a couple of hours

we'll have everything we need.

It's not a cure. Just a strong

antibiotic to build up resistance.

Sir, company a has arrived with the rest of

the radio gear. Where do you want it installed?

Set it up here. This'll be temporary

headquarters. Sir, need a deployment for company

where do you want this box?

Put it over there.

- Grab this one.

- I'll do it.

Somebody give me a hand, will ya!

What the heck they gonna do with all this?

What's happening?

Listen to me and don't talk.

There's a quarantine

on the town.

Everything's going to be all right. I

just don't want you and the baby exposed.

Exposed to what?

Just listen and don't say anything.

Lt's a highly contagious virus.

We're expecting several cases of it by

morning. I just don't want you around here.

You're gonna need me. I need

you like a hole in the head.

- We've got a whole army medical unit

on the way. - What's the army do-
