this is atc patching
through a call from flight 182

with a on-board
health situation.

stand by.

yeah. can you run this?

we got flight 182 incoming
from australia.

we got major
symptoms on board.

captain salter wanted to be
on the safe side because he

got the memo
about the bird flu.

yeah. no. that's good.

the first thing you need to
do, avian or not, is separate

him from the rest
of the passengers.

we did as best as we could.

what's his name?
ames smith.

he's having trouble breathing,
and he's coughing up blood.

i'm gonna put you on
speaker so you can

talk to my colleague.

he's gonna ask you a
couple questions, all right?

hi. this is dr. ratner.

what are his symptoms?

he's got a terrible fever,
he's got the chills,

he's having trouble breathing,
and, like i said, he's

coughing up blood.

ok. lindsey, tell your
captain that we'll have the

cdc response team meet him
at lax, and have that doctor

on board stay
with him, ok?

i'll call you back
in 10 minutes.

all right. thanks.

let's round up the local
team, and tell them it's

just precautionary.

dr. sorkosky,
call on line 3.

sorkosky here.

hey. it's dr. martin.

we've just been notified of
a sick passenger on flight

182 from sydney.

he's febrile and
vomiting blood.

sounds like shock lung.

you agree?

it could be.

all right. meet that plane.

alert the australians.

we'll get los alamos
working on simulations.

i want to be apprised of all
developments on the hour.

on the hour.
yes, sir.

[telephone rings]

ratner, cdc, l.a. yeah.

yeah. could you hold
on just one second?

hey. it's the aussies.

what was the name of
the kid on the plane?

ames smith. why?

there are gonna be
doctors meeting the plane.

you're gonna be fine.

please tell my
parents that i'm sorry.

you're gonna tell them
yourself when we get

to l.a., ok?

just promise me.

[coughs]

uhh.

[camera clicking]

10 to 1 the kid o.d.ed.

this is flight 182,
sydney to los angeles.

flight 182, over.

1-8-2, operations. go ahead.

operations, we need to
report a death on board.

we just had a very sick
19-year-old boy die.

could be a virus,
flu or something.

you suspect a biological
agent, or was there

a preexisting condition?

all i know is i have a
planeload of passengers who

wish they weren't
breathing the same are.

1-8-2, please change
your heading to 0210.

following emergency medical
protocol, you are being

diverted to runway 2-5 left.

ladies and gentlemen,
we have been in touch with the

centers for disease control,
and as a precautionary

measure, we have been
rerouted to a secure runway.

don't worry about the
folks meeting you.

transportation will be
provided for them if it

is requested.

i want to prepare you
for what lies ahead.

we'll be circling until
they give us the ok to land.

once down, the cdc will come
aboard and instruct us on all

matters concerning
your safety.

i know this has been a rough
flight, but hang in there.

we will do all that we can
to get you home as swiftly

and safely as possible.

hey. kayla.
what's your hurry?

they're rerouting the
plane to a secured area?

i'm putting it in quarantine.

the q-word?

kayla, two men, dead dog,
couple of dead birds doesn't

automatically mean a pandemic.

well, what's
the worst that could

happen if i overreact?

doing too much can mean
freaking people out, and that

can kill a career.

you might want to
keep that in mind.

ok. so how ready is the
emergency response center?

well, it's a
work in progress.

i mean,
some beds are in.

if we push, ok, overtime,
maybe 2, 3 hours we could

get it up and running.

ok. open it.

we're gonna need
the city's approval.

it's their operation--
feds haven't given them
a penny for it yet.

well, call them.
are you sure about this?

no, but what happens
if i underreact, huh?

well, i mean,
if it turns out to be major,

then doing too much that could
be a career wipeout, too.

well, thank god i can
count on you

for comfort and support.

yeah. well, i mean,
if things go south, there's

always the ice capades.

and although i love visiting

my friends and relatives
in mexico,

los angeles is now
my home.

it has been so good
to my family.

both my parents have
good jobs now.

[telephone ringing]

and one day
i'll graduate from college

and be a doctor.

[applause]

i hope you grow up
to become my doctor, belinda.

last year when
i ran for mayor,

people would ask me,

"what is los angeles'
greatest asset?"

well, it is our people.

it is our children.

[applause]

i'm sorry but i have some city
business i have to attend to.

but our school superintendant
barry can answer

any questions you might have
regarding our initiative.

have a good day.
that was wonderful.

and you, barry,
thank you.

hello. she's my daughter.
the one who just read.

and you must be
a very proud man.

mr...
ruiz. roberto ruiz.

and yes, i am.

i'm sorry, the mayor has
a pressing engagement.

excuse me. it was
a pleasure to meet you.

it was great, everybody.
thank you.

okay, we're out of here.

just a few more shots.

no, no. now, now, now.
let's go.

dr. martin.

chris fentress,
airport management.

you remember me?
of course, of course.

i have a car
waiting outside.

oh. great. so what's
the flight status?

uh, should be on the ground
in a few minutes.

ok. um, we need to
lock down the plane.

that's a big step.
i know.

excuse me. dr. martin?

uh, yeah. just give me
a second, ok? thanks.

agent whitlock, fbi.
what's the story?

what's the
agency's interest?

well, for starters,
finding out why

the plane's been rerouted
to a secure runway.

there was a suspicious death
on board, so we're holding

everybody until we
can figure it out.

there's no way.

i have a federal prisoner on
that plane i have to pick up.

well, you're gonna have to
wait like everyone else.

wait, doctor.

put me on the guest list.

well, you're gonna
have to suit up.

cdc is making
the call on this.

we don't have a choice.

[telephone ringing]

hello.

kelly, it's me.

i know that voice, troy.
don't do this.

just tell him i
might not make it

tonight, ok?

oh, no.

look. i don't have time
for this right now.

you never have the time.

that's why we're divorced.

just tell him i'm sorry.

don't, please.

i'll make it up to him,

and, kelly.
what?

try not to make me out to
be the bad guy, please.

you're doing a pretty
good job of that yourself.

tower, we're in
final approach.

we should be wheels
down in 30 seconds.

[sirens]

you can't get through?

wave all their
vehicles through, satchel...

our bio team's held
up at security.

can you help them?

i'm clearing
through as we speak.

ok. yeah. he's gonna
get it through.

ok.

we got company.

it's the mayor.

the faster we get those
teams in place, the sooner

this aircraft is moved off
the isolation, the better.

we needed to be in the
game a half-hour ago.

we followed him to lax.

he drove out onto the tarmac.

how often does
the mayor do that?

i got a visual on him.

ted, i got to go.

please may i have
everyone's attention?

we need everyone seated.

we're expecting the cdc
to come in any minute to

talk with us.

dellasandro's down there
with a bunch of people.

can you see what
they're saying?

let's see.

nope. still can't read lips.

if we break it, we own it.

who's dr. martin?
i am.

this airport
is city property.

understood. however,
technically, the cdc--

don't give us
technicalities.

you opened up the city's
emergency response center

without even consulting
my staff.

actually, i have the
emergency authority here.

you have the authority for
nothing unless i ok it first.

i just wanted to be
prepared for the worst.

i appreciate your concern,
but the next time you want

anything from this city,
you go through my

office, understood?

mayor, why don't we continue
this conversation inside?

find us someplace to talk.

sure. follow me.

here we go.

come on. we need
to get suited up.

eh, come on.

cell still doesn't work.

big deal. maybe there's
no service on this runway.

yeah. people can make
phone calls from the middle

of borneo but not lax.

whatever's going on here,
they don't want

anybody to know.

let's go.

come on. move on up.

go to your sections.

[knocks on door]

captain, we need to
speak with your passengers.

excuse me, everyone.

i'm dr. kayla martin.

this is dr. carl ratner.

we're from the center
for disease control.

we're wearing these biosuits
only because it's protocol,

not necessarily because
you're in great danger.

now the first thing we're
going to do is remove and test

the body of the young man who
died on your flight, and buses

are coming to take you to
a safe place while we wait

for the results.
well, where's that?

an emergency center's
being opened as we speak.

i got an important
business deal closing.

sir, your family
and friends will

be notified of course,
but until then--

why don't you unjam our
phones so we can notify

them ourselves?

folks, the airline
and the government

have given cdc the authority
to do whatever it thinks is

reasonable to protect us.

the sooner they do their jobs,
the sooner we can all go home.

doctor, back here.

i was treating him.

he was a very sick young man.

oh, my god.

whoa! whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa!

i got it, the
last one, didn't i?

hope you win next time.

if it's about last night's
polls, i've seen them.

it's not the polls, governor.
what then?

something's going on in l.a.

something is always
going on in l.a.

my problem child.

air atlanta icelandic
reported the mysterious death

of a 19-year-old boy on a
flight from sydney to l.a.

today, and they've landed
the aircraft at a secure

runway at lax.

what--but are we talking
about some kind of quarantine

situation here?

possibly. they're keeping
the passengers until they get

clearance from the cdc.

well, then we'll wait
and see what

the cdc says, agreed?

agreed.

right there. over there.

all right. excuse
me, everybody.

if i could have your
attention, please.

we're going to disembark the
plane by seat assignment.

two reasons--first of all,
we want to keep track

of who you are, but secondly,
we want to know where you were

seated in relation to the
young man who passed away.

now, he's called our index
case, and your proximity to

him may eventually have
something to do with what kind

of treatment you'll
receive if any.

now we're going to start
with rows 9 through 20,

9 through 20.

thank you.

hey. you ok in there?

i'm fine.

first time for
everything, right?

straight this way.

thank you.

hi. i'm lindsey mastrapa,
flight attendant.

i was with him when he died.

thank you.

excuse me, sir.
yeah?

hi. could i get your
name and your seat

assignment, please?

pete sampson, 10-a and 10-b.

and you, sir?

he's with me.
edward vicente.

i'm with him.

let's go.

just file to the bus.

thank you.

the first bus.

that's my man.

troy.

watch your step.
right this way.

i got bad news.

don't come dressed like that
and tell me you got bad news.

cdc's got a lot of
regulations like we do.

federal agency, you know.

they're not gonna let me
take him off your hands.

what do you know for real?

if it's a flu, they
got stuff you can take if

you need to.

that's all.

on the bus, big man.

hmm.

ok. exactly where in the
constitution does it say it's

cool to treat us like this?

why don't you do something
about it, tough guy?

you bet i will.

i can't answer
that right now.

sir, please, please, please.

sir, you have to get on the
bus for your own safety.

no, i don't.

yes, sir, you do.

sir, you have two choices.

you can walk to the bus,
or you'll be shackled

and carried, do
you understand?

i'll remember this.

yeah. so will i, sir.
get on the bus.

when they
finish the luggage.

we had two by him.

yeah.
so that's 5.

all right, everybody,
listen up.

foxhoven and i are gonna start
right here at ground zero

with the victim.

the rest of you, i want to get
the food and the garbage off

and incinerated asap after
you get the samples from it.

what about the baggage?

we're just gonna have it
inspected and returned to them

as soon as possible.
it should be fine.

and the cargo section
doesn't share any airflow

with the passengers?

yeah, that's
my understanding.

all right, everybody. let's
get going, and be really

thorough, ok?

by the book.

hey.

gil, don't drink out
of the bottle.

what's the big deal?

hey.

just because you are angry
at your dad, do not take it

out on me.

fine.

come on, gil.

he's your father.

well, doesn't
he act like it?

he does.

it's just that sometimes
he doesn't always know how

to prioritize.

mom,
he's an fbi agent.

he should know better.

all i'm saying is maybe you
should cut him a little slack.

melissa lo at lax.

i'm on a vantage point on
the north side of lax, where

a little over an hour ago
we began to see individuals

in biocontainment suits
entering and exiting

an isolated aircraft.

those biocontainment suits
usually indicate a level 4

threat, which applies
to bioterrorism or

an infection situation.

we've also witnessed an
unidentified body being

removed from the aircraft
and being placed

in a biohazard container.

we don't have any information
yet as to the person's

identity or cause of death.

all i can tell you is the
mayor is busy getting exactly

the information you want.

when he gets it,
we will call you.

i just wanted to make
that perfectly clear.

ok?

ken, you will call me
first before

you announce something, right?

melissa, i've got
a call coming in.

i have to go.

you will call me first?

i have to go.
bye.

it's that channel 8
reporter melissa lo.

that woman's relentless.
i know.

well, the cdc hasn't
said anything yet,

and you don't want
to be out front on this.

i'm not hiding, ken.

we ran on a promise of
transparency in government.

i'm not taking that back.

i understand.

i understand, i do, but we
don't want to be worrying

people unnecessarily.

if people start dying,
ken, they're not gonna find it

unnecessary at all.

yes!

it's about damn time.

[sniffles]

[coughs]

excuse me.

hey. it's hendler.

listen, my cell's been down.
i just wanted to make sure

that you confirm my 1 p.m.
for tomorrow.

sure.
it's at 1:15.

outstanding.

by the way, i heard
about your flight 182.

is everything ok?

yeah. i heard
about that flight.

no. it wasn't mine, though.

i took, um, qantas.

yeah.

last-minute change.

listen. here's the deal.

i need you to call me tomorrow
at 1:15 exactly, tell me we've

got another offer, all right?

that should close
the deal quick.

no problem.

talk to you then.

[distorted voices]

[coughs]

there it is.

[coughs]

this big square bunker.

it looks just
exactly like that--

excuse me. i got to get
to beverly hills fast.

no baggage?

no.

yes, sir.

oh, i forgot to tell you.

we have to cancel your
practice on thursday.

but, mom, trials are
in a couple weeks.

i can't be there
to pick you up.

i have a presentation
in la jolla.

great.
i'm sorry.

well, i guess i'll just ask
aunt kayla to come get me.

my sister has a lot on
her plate right now.

i think she's just
gonna be too busy.

she's never too busy for me.

excuse me.

excuse me. those of you
waiting for flight 182.

yes?

i know you deserve
an explanation.

at this time, i can confirm
that an incident has occurred

on flight 182 that prevents
us from having the passengers

contact you yet.

what happened?

your questions will all
be answered shortly.

in the meantime, we have entry
passes for an airline lounge.

it's located nearby and has
coffee, sandwiches, and tvs.

we have staff there who
will assist you in any

way they can.

we need answers!

one more thing, is anyone
here to meet ames smith?

ames?

oh, my god. ames?!

that's us.

please come with me.

will you follow me?

we have to go to l.a.

why? has the
situation changed?

not yet, but consider this.

giuliani's national profile
went sky-high after 9/11.

yes. i--i remember.

and if this turns out to
be a big deal, you'll want

to be on site.

i suppose you're right.

you know i'm
right, governor.

dellasandro's an
ambitious man.

he'll use this to beat you,
or try to beat you.

that's what i
thought you said.

henry...

when i got into politics,
i thought the job

was to govern.

i was wrong...

but i don't have to like it.

lillian, your job
is to govern.

my job is to make sure
that you keep your job.

[knocks on desk]

please tell us what
happened to our son.

would you guys have a seat?

i want to see him now.

look. whatever it is,
you have no right to keep him.

mr. and mrs. smith, your
son passed away on the flight.

i'm so sorry.

are you sure
that it was ames?

what are you talking about?

it's not possible.

he's--he's young.

it seems that, uh,
he suffered from extreme

respiratory distress.

we're not exactly sure.

we're asking the passengers
who were seated around him.

i'm sorry.

i want to see my son.

i'm--i'm sorry.

everyone's been quarantined.
i can't do that.

no. i don't care
if everyone's been

quarantined or not.

i want to see my son.

please let me see my boy.

this is, uh--this is
as far as we can go.

oh, my god.

[gasps]

that's my boy.

oh, my poor baby.

[sobbing]

oh, ames!

how did this happen?

that's what we're trying
to figure out, sir.

please--please
i want to know.

we think he contracted a
viral infection in australia.

oh, ames, i'm so sorry.

12 unit, over here!

[indistinct chatter]

open.

yeah, i got it.

there you go.

that's good right there.

this is the view from
channel 8's sky chopper as

buses loaded with passengers
from air atlanta icelandic

flight 182 make their way
slowly through the l.a.

freeway system.

destination unknown,
but channel 8 has obtained

information from confidential
inside sources that

bioterrorism experts from the
centers for disease control

are being dispatched to los
angeles from facilities

across the nation.

they got no
right to do this.

they're not telling us jack.

they're probably taking us to
some kind of internment camp.

i'm telling you, first time
they leave a door open--pfft--

i am gone.

if you want, i'll
take you with me.

what are you doing?

getting a headache.

you don't look
too good, pete.

well, whatever happens
to me will happen to you.

only time will tell.

[sirens]

all right. you're good.

oh, listen, listen.

if you don't mind, later when,
you know, things calm down,

i'd like to see what
you have set up here.

absolutely. yeah.

thanks.

you can go.

make sure that
entrance is secure.

right this way, people.

guards, dispatch two
of your men over here.

in there.

single file. thank you.

over here, gentlemen.
right through here.

keep going. this way.

please have your passports
and i.d.s ready.

all right, if you want
to make it inside,

whatever you do,
don't look back.

you looked.

i'm sorry.

all right, i'm gonna
go check in our guests.

excuse me,
who's in charge?

is there anyone we can ask
a few questions of?

uh, yes, i'm
dr. kayla martin

of the los angeles center
of disease control.

i can answer
a few questions.

melissa lo, jake laramie,
channel 8 news.

can you confirm that this is
a bioterrorism attack?

we can't confirm that.

is it avian flu, then?

we're not sure.

[cell phone ringing]
uh, excuse me.

hello?

hey. you look like
you're in trouble.

i could use some help
inside.

yes.
i'll be right there.

ok.

i'm sorry,
i'm needed inside.

but i can confirm
it's a young white male

that died on flight 182.

our protocols are
now in place.

someone else will be outside
to answer more questions

and give you
a full update.

thank you very much.

thank you.

[bells tolling]

sister grace.

richard.
how are you?

good, thanks.

how's the job
working out?

great. one of my fares
gave me a $20 tip.

oh, that's wonderful.

you know, i found a nice
little place to rent.

pretty soon, i'll be able
to move out.

oh, i'm so happy
for you.

sister grace...

what's this for?

it's time i started
giving back.

oh...thank you.

now go sit down.

we've got some beautiful
tomato soup.

[coughs]

we have, uh, 3 basic
areas of isolation.

this one we call area one.

these are for people who
haven't been exposed.

street clothes are--are fine.

over here, down the hall
and through doors, we

have area two.

those are for people who
have been exposed but have

no symptoms.

that's gowns, mask,
and gloves.

up the stairs and through the
containment doors, we have

people who have been exposed
and have symptoms,

people who are sick.

the ones who get
the real bad news.

yeah.
those are full suits.

the first thing we do is a
triage so we can figure out

where everybody goes.

you planning
on staying long?

oh. we hope not.

[cell phone ringing]

excuse me.

go for troy.

hey. we got area two
pretty much secure.

great.

hey. you got a
headcount for me yet?

yeah. we might
have a problem.

what?

we've got 184,
they have 185.

i don't know if it's our
mistake or the airline's yet.

are you sure?
you kidding?

i have to cross-reference
from the airlines and our own

counts, but first, you've got
me designing a room plan where

people are housed
by seat number.

you have any idea
how complex that is?

when do we have it?
as soon as i can.

[alarm buzzing]

masks on, everyone.
masks.

that's just a filtration
breach test.

all right, people, calm down.
it's just a test.

we're testing
the bio-security breach.

relax.
stand down.

after all we've been
through, you're just gonna

leave me here like this?

what am i supposed to do?

tell you what.

get used to solitaire.

sampson.

one of them tells
me one thing.

another guy says
something else.

nobody really knows anything.

i mean, my buddies don't
know why i'm in here.

come on.

i feel fine.

there's nobody sick here.

whatever.

you should be in front of
the camera instead of behind.

i used to be.
then i hit 30.

if you don't mind my asking,
why are you doing this?

it's what i do.

can i take your picture?

why would you
want to do that?

for your family.

i look a mess.

you look great.

come on.

come on.

smile.

this is from atlanta?

yeah. they did the
crosscheck there.

[cell phone ringing]

kayla martin.
hey. it's me.

brooke, sweetie, i
can't talk right now.

what's up?

well, i'm out
with lisa and becky,

and becky heard from her
brother all about that weird

stuff that's happening on that
plane, and she says that we

could all get the plague.

you tell becky it's
not the plague, ok?

well, i told them
that you would

tell us if we were
gonna die or something.

sweetie, i have to
go right now.

i'll call you
back later, ok?

ok. talk to you later. bye.

hey, marcus.

richie, how'd you do?

crazy busy out there.

oh. let's hope it keeps up.

i'm heading out for a double.

[coughs]

hey. you ok?

yeah. i just got
a scratchy throat.

oh, hey.

here. have some of these.

hey. thanks.

i was wondering, uh,
can i borrow 20?

i got nothing to
make change with.

i'll pay you back tomorrow.

no problem.

[coughs]

thanks.
eh, no problem.

thanks.

hey.
hey.

did you get any sleep? hey.

what's that?

we got 8 folks showing
symptoms and in isolation.

we started them on therapy
with the tamiflu, and you

wanted to know
about the autopsy?

yeah. what's going on?

well, if you want
a front-row seat,

county coroner's on his way.

we're starting in 45.

ok. i'll be there.

you sure don't
waste any time.

excuse me?

my boss just told me the
cdc requested fbi security.

i've been assigned
to your team.

oh. that's me.
hope you don't mind.

it's fine. as long as
vicente and my partner are

still here, i'm
not going anywhere.

dr. martin.

here's the file you wanted.

oh, great.
thank you so much.

sorry. took me longer
than i thought.

if you think our
bureaucracy is bad,

you should see the airlines.

it's bad news.

we really have lost one.

are we sure?

yes. his name
is jack hendler.

he's a real estate agent.

where does he live?
brentwood.

send out a team.

actually, i want you
to go with them.

on my way.
thanks.

ready to take a look?

absolutely.

what made you treat
mr. smith here as a four-alarm?

rapid onset of respiratory
distress with fever,

combined with blood on a plane
with almost 200 passengers.

that would get
my attention.

these lungs, they look more
like a bloody steak

than normal tissue.

what's the priority
for your pathology guys?

body fluids, tissues,
blood samples

fixed in fresh cultures.

now, this is a problem.

come on this side.

oh...healthy lungs are
supposed to be pink and fluffy.

he's only 19.

no time to abuse
himself enough

to do really big damage.

looks like he bled
from the inside out.

broke three ribs
with that cough of his.

if your timeline is right,

this is one of the
fastest-progressing diseases

i've ever seen.

son of a--
could you believe

he pushed the meeting
until tomorrow?

what, like i've got
nothing better to do?

i don't even like
the guy's movies.

[coughs]

no, i'm not coming
to the office today.

[coughs]

no, i'm fine.
it's just a cold.

yeah, i'll talk
to you later.

be sure to wear
protective, um--

right.

kayla!

so there's no sign of
our missing passenger.

he's not at the real estate
office, he's not home.

what?

yeah. hendler's
soon-to-be ex-wife was there.

he's been staying in one his
properties till he finds

a new place.

she has no idea where.

i told her that
he might be sick.

it made her smile.

ok. i'll call
the mayor's office.

we'll get the police involved.

sounds like a plan.

look at this mess.

we better get this
press under control.

we have a media
frenzy going on here.

you sure you want
to do that, sir?

well, somebody's
got to do it.

ok, sir. it's your call.
i'm gonna go see them.

that's him.

uh, can i have your
attention, everyone?

ito, atlanta cdc.

hi. carl ratner.

i'm dr. max sorkosky of the
centers for disease control.

i just arrived from atlanta,
but i've been in constant

contact with my l.a. staff,
so i'm up to speed

on the situation, and i'd like
to make a few things clear.

i think you're
all overreacting.

this is simply a
cautionary investigation.

all due respect,
dr. sorkosky, the media didn't

quarantine a couple
hundred people.

the cdc did.

the point is, you're
trying to make this

a bigger story than it is.

wait. we're hearing rumors
that this is avian flu.

can you confirm or deny that?

we do not know
that this avian flu.

then why the quarantine?

when we have identified the
cause of death of mr. smith,

we will either let everyone
go or move into

an actual quarantine.

excuse me. you're saying
that this isn't a quarantine?

i would prefer to call it
a preventative action.

now, responsible news coverage
should make it clear

that there is absolutely
no need for public panic.

if this isn't
a contagious disease,

then, by definition,
there's no problem.

and if it is, we have taken
the appropriate actions

to protect the public.

but what's the cause then
if it's not avian flu?

any number of things?
such as?

ross river virus and dengue.

now, don't write that down.

you asked for examples,
i gave you examples.

i'm not saying
that's what it was.

now you--you people in the
media, you have everybody

expecting bird flu, but there
are plenty of other diseases

out there, believe me.

are you prepared with a
vaccine if you need one?

vaccines take
months to develop.

if this is something new,
the chance that there would be

a useful vaccine on the
shelf right now is small.

now, don't go off writing that
we're defenseless here

the way, uh, you people
are inclined to do.

dear god, what
a train wreck.

who's idea was it to put him
in front of a news camera?

he's the guy calling
the shots at the cdc.

get me mayor
dellasandro on the phone now!

if this is some new form
influenza or bird flu or

something else, the first
course of action is to prevent

its spread, and then to contain
it using antiviral drugs

like tamiflu.

governor's office.

she's watching
the press conference.

doesn't sound too happy.

ahem.
governor schaefer.

mayor dellasandro.
how are you?

well, i'd be better
if i wasn't

watching the cdc blast the
media on national television.

i know. we're
watching it, too.

yes, but i don't want this

shameless display to be
misconstrued as our position.

i mean, our stance needs to be
one of firm leadership.

i agree.

i'll speak to sorkosky myself.

do that.

we're getting reports that
people are buying up supplies

of this antiviral tamiflu.

it's all about big profits
for the drug companies.

just proves the
government's in bed with him.

they've been bleeding
us dry for years.

[sighs]

don't you ever get tired
of talking to yourself?

never.

i'm my own best company.

i bet you are.

i've told you
everything you need to know.

[all talking at once]

ok, folks.

sir, doctors ratner
and foxhoven.

dr. ratner, hi.
dr. foxhoven.

let's get to work.
yes, sir.

doctor!

[reporter speaking spanish]

there you go, man.

that's messed up, man.

i'll be right back.

you buying out
the whole store, man?

yeah, just i case,
huh.

what you're gonna want to
do is get a specific antigen.

two swabs.

[coughing]

ooh. starts with a cough.

next thing you know, you're
gonna be puking up blood,

my friend.

oh, sampson, sampson, sampson.

oh, boy.

there he is!

ken, are we ready for this?

you don't have to
have the answers.

just remember to
stay on message.

stay on message.
stay on message.

here we go.

mr. mayor!
mr. mayor!

sir, i have a question!

mr. mayor, we
have some questions.

will you please tell us
the status on the...

mr. mayor!

would you let us know...

mr. mayor!

hey, guys.
just give me a minute.

i know you're all here
because you want some answers,

and quite frankly, so do i.

in a few minutes, i'll be
meeting again with the cdc

authorities, and i'm confident
the situation on flight 182

will be handled responsibly.

i am your representative,
but i'm also your friend,

and as your friend, know this.

i will hold your welfare
and your trust as sacred,

i promise.
thank you very much.

issue a statement
offering support to the city.

tell them that you are ready
to call up the national guard

if needed to maintain order.

but these people are
gonna be looking to me

for answers, you know.

i don't want to threaten them.

you're only doing
what's best for them.

henry, did you see
any riots on television?

because i didn't.

if i start calling up
the national guard,

we'll start them.

we don't want to panic people.

we wait.

in the meantime, get me that
sorkosky character from

the cdc on the phone.

i need to know everything
first-hand.

[cell phone ringing]

yes, governor?

i can tell you this.

the smith boy's autopsy
was inconclusive.

but it has shown us what
this virus does to the body.

we're keeping close watch
on the other passengers.

i have my best team
on this.

i'm confident we'll
be able to find out

what causes this virus

before the situation
escalates.

i will keep you informed.

i hate politicians.

excuse me.

dr. martin,
dr. sorkosky,

the mayor will
see you now.

this way.

mr. mayor.

this is all fine.
yes, sir.

yeah.
this is dr. martin,
whom you've met.

and this is dr. sorkosky.

mr. mayor.
dr. sorkosky.

what can we do
for you?

do we have any idea

what we're up against
medically?

yes, we do.

have a seat.

thank you.

i'll give you
the short version.

the autopsy demonstrates
the young man had ards,

or shock lung.

it's usually seen in
influenza pneumonia

or other infections.

the speed of this illness,

which resulted in death,
is remarkable.

and it indicates
that it's mutated,

or a very rare,
unique virus.

the virus enters through
the respiratory system

and then goes into
the lungs,

where it attaches itself
to receptor hooks

on the lung's lining.

it then moves
inside the cells,

where it kidnaps
the genetic factory

and duplicates.

then the cell bursts,
and the process continues.

all the while, the individual
who's infected

is infecting other people.

and the process and cycle
is continuing.

so they have to show symptoms
before they're contagious?

that is our present
thinking.

can we contain it?

well, we were trying
to do exactly that

when we were summoned here.

well, then, i suggest
you get back to your job.

dr. martin, thanks
for the explanation.

please.

[coughing]

agent sampson?

yeah.

there's a possibility
you're contagious.

we're gonna have to move you.

i'll think about it.

that wasn't a request.

hey, sampson.

horvath.
what's the matter?

you don't look too
happy to see me.

i didn't ask for the help.

like i really
want to be here.

listen, man. i'm fine.

doc's orders, big man.

please, agent sampson.

i got it.

[sirens]

as you can see, i've already
eluted some of the specimens

to pull out proteins,
messenger rnas, and genes.

we were loading our libraries
of microarray chips while we

were doing some mmr to
begin seeing the structure

of the creature.

the bottom line is you can
only look through libraries

of recognized
pathogens, right?

it's easier to look for
something we already know than

it is for something
new, yes.

anything else?

if we find similar
structures between fragments

of the rna, we might be
able to reconstruct

the likely virus.

any positives thus far?

too early, but here's
what we have so far.

this is the avian flu.

and this is what
our young victim had.

it's not a match.

exactly.

we've got 1,000 libraries
cooking, so we might be able

to identify, conserve domains,
and perhaps start

building a model.

well, if the index card is any

indication of this infection,
we're not gonna have

a lot of time.

then pray that we get lucky.

[coughs]

how you feeling?

like hell.

you know what ticks me off?

vicente.

the bastard looks good.

he's not your
problem any more, pete.

you're a patient now.

be a patient.

you hang in there.

[changing stations]

cdc treats like you're
nuclear waste or something.

whoa! hang on a
second there, hang on.

i mean, doesn't
every society have

the right to protect--

[cell phone ringing]

hello?
aunt kayla?

hey. i was just wondering if
you could give me a ride home

from the rink.

oh, honey, i'm really just

kind of crazy right now.

um, where's your mom?

can she give you a ride home?

no. she's in la jolla.

well, is lisa there today?

um, yeah.

can you ask her mom if she
can give you a ride home?

sure.

"the today show" was
showing pictures of you

from last night.

you sounded smart.
thank you.

everybody's
talking about it.

i know. this flu can
be kind of scary stuff.

not to me.

i know if there was a real
problem you'd tell me.

i would.

um, sweetie, i've got to go.

oh, real quick!

i nailed the
triple this morning.

i knew you could.

i'll call you later.
ok. bye.

lisa?

lisa?

[coughing]

oh, hey. you need a ride?

uh, yeah.

this your first time in
a taxi by yourself?

yep. and i do
have mace, mister.

don't you worry about
a thing, honey.

i'll have you home in no time.

thank you.

[coughing]

there you go.

ok. buckle up.

[coughs]

here are the latest
details regarding

the riptide virus crisis.

officials in australia have
raised the death toll to 14,

and in asia, reports are now
coming in of 4 suspected

cases in japan.

meanwhile, several positive
test results have been

announced in paris,
amsterdam, and berlin.

health officials are
focusing on curbing the spread

of the disease.

i remain confident

that we will be able
to contain

the negative effect
of the disease.

whose car is this?

troy...
thank you.

listen, uh, now's
not really a good time.

i just need a minute,
kelly.

if you're worried
about gil,

i explained it to him.

i didn't editorialize.

about what a crappy
father i am?

you said it, not me.

i just thought
i'd drive him to school.

[gil]
i already have a ride.

hey, buddy, listen,
i'm so sorry.

there's a lot of stuff
going on right now.

troy, frank.
frank, this is troy.

this is awkward.

good to meet you.

yeah.

troy, can i talk
to you for a minute?

yeah.

hey, i'm gonna be late.

[both]
just a minute, sport.

listen, that's a hell
of a boy you got out there.

yeah, i know.

i know it's not
my place, but--

you're right.
it's not your place.

now, let's get something
straight, frank.

i am gil's father.

you're just a guy
sleeping with his mother.

troy, that's enough.

we clear?

you need to move on.

[monitor beeping]

lindsey, i know you're
having trouble breathing,

so we're gonna put
a tube down your throat.

it's gonna be
a little uncomfortable,

but it's gonna
help you breathe.

i'm gonna take this
off now, ok?

i'm not afraid.

i know.

[lindsey groaning quietly]

how we doin'?

not good.

show me.

here's the h3n7 virus,
or "unknown virus."

now, here's an example
of how quickly it spreads.

we have found that
it depletes the immune system

in two different ways.
how so?

some of the people's
immune systems

have slowed the replication
of the virus down

as compared to how the virus
infected ames smith.

that's good, right?

no, not really.

although it seems
there are two kinds

of reactions
to the virus--

one faster, one slower--

the end result is
still the same...death.

considering our one
rogue passenger is

still out there
infecting the public,

with the ripple effect,
we can hit critical mass,

making this uncontainable
in just three days.

[woman reporter]
cdc efforts in los angeles

and around the country
have become focused

on finding a cure
for the influenza virus.

while vaccines offer definitive
protection from the flu...

daddy, why won't they
show me reading my report?

[speaks spanish]
you know, the people
on the airplane.

they'll have it soon.

but i'll be at school.

honey, i'm recording
the whole thing for you.

don't worry, ok?

all right, i gotta go.

where are you going?

oh, i'm meeting allan
and carlos

at the national guard post,
but before i go to work.

love you.

["ave maria" playing
on organ]

people ask why god has
brought us to this place

at this time.

why ames smith was taken.

i don't believe in a god
who plans all events.

god has given us
a beautiful home on earth,

but he's kept it a struggle.

that's because that struggle
makes us human.

and it is by being human...

it's ok.

no one showed.

we did.

...to look to the divine
for your strength and comfort.

there's a maxim that suggests
that with every curse

there's a hidden blessing.

and i pray that one day
you find

whatever blessing
that may be in this tragedy,

and it brings you peace.

in the name of the father,
the son, and holy ghost.

hey.
hey.

how's it going?

i got a call from
a girlfriend at county.

she said their er's packed.

so is ucla's and st. johns.

pretty much anyone
who has a cold

thinks they have the flu.

well, you take a few
letters out of "pandemic"

you get "panic."

hmm, i stole that from one
of sorkosky's lectures.

you can hold down the fort?

do i have a choice?

not really.

hey, i was just actually
coming up to see you.

anything?

captain slater died
three hours ago.

i mean, he was a diabetic
and his immune system

was probably compromised
to begin with.

but now we got 29 symptomatic,
18 critical.

how's lindsey?

flight attendant?
yeah.

she's not doing good.

i want to see her.

[heart monitor beeps]

come on.

step aside.

she flatlined,
dropped out of nowhere.

one milligram of epi.

come on.
come on.

nothing.

[heart monitor beeps]

call it.

[camera shutter clicks]

i'll be right back
with that invoice.

right away.

...the entire flight.

kayla, dr. sorkosky.

what's wrong?

well, dr. ito hasn't
been able to identify the virus

but we know it's not avian.

so we have a mutated virus
that seems to move

faster than avian.

and if it's more deadly too--

sir, we're losing people here.

these are the people who
received the tamiflu?

yes.

well, they aren't gonna work
for everyone.

you have others who aren't on
antivirals who aren't

getting sick.

we shouldn't wait, sir.

we're only talking about
a couple hundred people

who we know have been exposed.

it's not a supply issue.

if everybody starts now,

we split them between
the tamiflu and the cytotoxic.

we're treating them
like guinea pigs.

i just don't understand.

why not give them both meds?

because we need to know
what works

and we need to know for certain.

so what am i supposed
to say to the families

of the ones who have died?

we gave them the wrong meds?

it's the only way, kayla,
and we both know it.

don't forget to call me
back in a few minutes.

i got to run. he's here.

mr. torino.
hendler.

great to see you.

fires are burning, man.

don't worry about it.

so you ready to take a look?

yeah. let's do it.

you ever own one of these?

yeah. used to have
a 30-footer.

married?
no. divorced.

ah.

girlfriend?

yep. absolutely.

outstanding.

wow. this is sweet.

so what do you think?

600-mile range.

top speed of 30 knots.

sleeps 6.

full radar, gps package.

that's 41 feet of
good times, my friend.

she's a lot sweeter
than my 30-footer.

you know what they say.
size counts.

you got that right.

you know, i'll bet she
would love this.

wouldn't you like to
take her out on it?

i know i would.

[coughing]

you ok, man?

just allergies.

please go ahead.

wow!
i talked to the estate.

yeah?
they're looking to

sell everything fast?

they want to sweeten the deal.

i thought we could
put together an offer

for the mansion that
includes the yacht.

be like getting
the yacht for free.

huh. yeah, i'm sure.

excuse me.

yeah. hendler.

uh-huh.

yeah.

oh, you're kidding.

oh, boy.

yeah. ok.

all right. thanks. i
appreciate your calling.

jeez.

what's up?

somebody just
put in an offer?

really?
don't worry.

it's through my office.

i'll put you in
first position.

so what you're telling me
is i got to make

a decision right now?
it's your call.

my accountant doesn't
want me to go over 10 mil

for the mansion and the boat.

tell me you can swing that.

try to make it work.

mayor, los angeles may be
your city, but the entire

state of california is
my responsibility.

now i want to know what's
going on down there.

governor, when i know it,
you'll now it.

i had a word with
dr. sorkosky with the cdc.

so did i.

we caught your
speech yesterday.

i liked your approach.

thank you, governor.

let me know everything.
keep me updated.

i want to know every
detail hour by hour.

she's gonna show
up unannounced.

she's gonna want to
take charge, you know.

oh, i know.
we'll deal with it.

yeah. well, let's just hope
this thing doesn't get too

out of hand.

party!

[coughs]

hey, mr. hendler.
hey.

the police were here
this moring.

oh.
they were looking for you.

parking tickets.

no, it was about the plane
that was quarantined.

i told you,
i wasn't on that flight.

i took qantas.

must be some sort of
computer screw up or something.

first of all,
if i was on that plane

how could i get off?

and second,
i'm honestly a little hurt

that you think i would lie
to you about something

like this.

give us a hug.

grab everybody,
bring them to my office.

we are gonna crack these open.

hey, come on.

the king is back.

i have a little announcement,
ladies and gentlemen.

a colleague of mine
once said,

"there is an ass
for every seat."

yours truly just filled
one of the biggest.

guess who just closed the deal

on the 10 million dollar
john almond estate?

ta-da!

[cheering]

and none other than
michael torino.

the producer.

and mr. torino
has graciously invited me

to attend the screening--
[coughs]

of his latest film.

[cheering]

thank you,
thank you so much.

it is definitely not the
h5n1 strain that we expected

but what we call now the h3n7.

now instead of antigenic drift
where our population has some

immunity, this is antigenic
shift, where our population

has no immunity.

i'm afraid this is a true
pandemic pattern pending data

of its morbidity
and its mortality.

well, we now have 62
passengers all showing

symptoms of the disease.

they're all on antivirals.

how man fatalities?
8.

i've got 10 in freefall.

they could be
going any minute.

any word on our rogue?

no. he's still out there.

thank you.

hey.

thank you.

thank you very much.

you are gonna love this movie.

[applause]

let's go over there and make my
picture look pretty, all right?

tori milliken's not here.

i don't see tori milliken.

she's on her way.

this is fantastic.
congratulations.

hey, jack.

this is my real estate
agent jack hendler.

[coughs]

your screening.

we got a call, someone who's
symptomatic but won't come in.

uh, sorkosky thought you
might want to check it out.

dr. foxhoven go.

the man's a taxi driver.

he worked the airport
when the flight arrived.

sorkosky i'm on my way.

him 4:00 would be great.

they found the guy
that ran away--hendler.

dead?
no.

how many do you
think he infected?

i don't know.

he walked around for two days.

could be in the hundreds.

only in l.a.

we've been through riots,
fires, earthquakes.

we've always come back.

we'll come back
from this, too.

this thing blows up on us,
would you want to live here?
