Are you all right?
Sh*t really hitted the fan.
That's a whole different study.
But if we knew that, we could...
We don't know that!
We gotta operate with
what we do know!
- I'm still dreaming.
- No, you're not.
My turn with the coat.
I'm triying to explain
exclusively the facts...
The guys on the crew are going crazy.
A couple of 'em flown the coop already.
I don't know how long
we can stay on the air!
Ok, check that camera!
Who has camera two?
Who the hell's on camera 2,
a blind man?
Roll the rescue...
Roll the rescue stations!
Got a report that half those stations
have been knocked out.
- Get me another list!
- Sure, I'll just pull it outta my ass, right?
I don't believe that, doctor.
- Do you believe the dead are returning to life?
- I'm not so...
Do you believe the dead are returning
to life and attacking the living?
I'm not so sure what
to believe, doctor
All we get is what you people tell us.
And it's hard enough to believe...
It's fact...! It's fact...!
It's hard enough to believe
without you coming in here...
You're not running a
talk-show here, Mr. Berman!
You can forget pitching an audience
the moral bullshit they wanna hear!
You're talking about abandoning
any human code of behaviour...
Frannie, get on the new list of rescue stations.
Charlie's receiving it on the emergency room.
- Rescue stations list?
- Half of those are inoperatives as of now.
Charlie, these are rescue stations.
We can't send people to inoperative rescue stations.
We've had old information on the air
for the last 12 hours.
- Kill the old ones.
- Givens wants to!
Kill'em Dick! Tell
Givens to see me!
... public figures like
yourself that this situation is been...
... you're
not telling me...
... by the public
You're not listening!
You're not listening!
We've this situation for the last 3 weeks...
What does it take?
What does it take
to make people see?
People aren't willing to accept
your solutions, doctor.
And I don't blame them!
Every dead body that is not
exterminated becomes one of them.
It gets up and kills.
The people it kills
get up and kill!
Dave!
Sit down and type that up.
You're dropping my question.
I think Foster is right. We're loosen it.
Yeah, we're blowing it ourselves.
A dead body must be exterminated.
Either by destroying the brain or severing
the brain from the rest of the body.
- You must be out of your mind!
- This situation must be controlled before is too late.
...multiplying too rapidly!
What the hell is going on?
Who kill those supers?
Frannie, who told you to
kill those supers?
Nobody. I killed it.
They are outdated.
Do you know you're on air?
What the hell is going on?
I want those supers on
the air all the time.
Without those rescues
stations on screen...
every minute people won't
watch us. So they'll tune out!
Are you willing to murder people
by sending them out to
stations that haved closed down
I want that list up on the screen
every minute that we're on the air!
- Anybody need a ride?
- What the hell are you doing?
Get back on this console!
What is this? A news show or
a football game?
Get that idiot off the air!
Officer, stop those men!
Lucas, get back on this console!
Damn!
Get somebody in here that
can run this thing.
Get that f***ing idiot off the air!
Get that f***ing idiot off the air!
Triple pay!
We're staying on the air!
F*** off! F*** off!
Now, Doctor Foster. The public
needs facts. What do you have
to give us?
They kill for one reason.
They kill for food.
They eat their victims.
You understand that, Mr. Berman?
That's what keeps them going.
If we listened... If we dealt with
this phenomenom properly
without emotion.
Without emotion!
It wouldn't have come to this!
There is a martial law state in Philadelphia,
as in all major cities in the country.
Where's your badge?
Take it easy...
It's just crazy!
It's just completely insane!
Sh*t! I ain't...
Yeah, here's my badge.
OK, you can go.
Should we be unable
to check the spread.
Because of the emotional attitude
of the citizens because these issues of morality.
Jim, you take it!
It is the order of the O.E.P...
by command of the federal goverment...
the president of the United States
Citizens may no longer occupy private
residences no matter how safely protected...
or well stocked.
Citizens will be moved into central
areas of the city.
The bodies of the dead...
will be delivered over to
special squads of the national guard...
for organised disposition.
Frannie, meet me on the roof
at 9 o'clock. We're getting out.
I don't believe it...
We're gonna get out!
In the chopper.
- Stephen, we can't. We got...
- Careful!
- Nine p.m., all right.
- Stephen, we can't. We got...
We got to nothing, Fran.
We've got to survive.
Somebody's got to survive.
Now you'd be up stairs at 9.
Don't make me come lookin' for ya.
Go ahead. We'll be off the air by midnight.
Emergency networks are taking over.
Our responsability is finished.
Martinez!
You've been watching. You know we
got this building surrounded.
The bastard's got them moved into
one building. Dumb little bastard!
Looks like they're really gonna
try to fight us.
- C'mon!
- Martinez.
People in this project
are your responsability.
We don't want any of them hurt
and neither do you!
I'm giving you 3 minutes, Martinez.
I'm giving you 3 minutes, Martinez.
Turn over your weapons
and surrender.
There're no charges against you.
There are no charges against you or
any of your people.
Yet.
C'mon, Martinez.
Yeah, C'mon Martinez. Show your
greasy little puerto rican ass...
so I can blow it right off.
I'll blow all their asses off.
Low life bastards. Blow all their
little low life puerto rican and
n*gger asses rigth off!
- You're right?
- I'm right Roger.
How the hell come we
stick with these low lifes in these
big ass fancy hotels anyway?
Sh*t man! This' better than I got.
You ain't gonna talk 'em outta here.
You gotta blow'em out!
Just stay cool, ok? When you go
in there just don't pop off, all right?
- I'll be ok.
- C'mon!
Let's get on with it!
This is a waste of my time!
Let's go! Let's go!
Move it! Move it!
Goddamitt!
C'mon, you dumb bastards!
Come and get 'em!
Bishop, try to kill a thousand pigs!
Get 'em out of the road!
People, look out!
Hold it!
Don't go out there!
Masks!
Masks for the gas!
Masks for the gas!
Work your way down.
C'mon, work your way down!
One floor at a time.
Keep going!
Hold 'em in the halls.
Hold 'em in the halls!
- Stay there!
- Damn!
James, slow down!
No, let me go!
C'mon, you little bastards!
Wooley's gone ape sh*t, man!
- Wooley!
- Hey, hey, hey!
Gimme a hand!
- Gimme a hand!
- Leave me alone, man!
What the hell!
Leave me alone!
Gimme a hand... Somebody...!
Step away from him!
Goddammit!... Help me.
He's crazy!
Step away from him.
Not that room!
Don't enter that room!
Holy Christ!
C'mon, for chrissake!
