Journal entry, day 91.

If not for the quarantine that was already in place when the disaster

would surely be dead, along with the rest of the world.

We prayed for a miracle.

Wake everybody up. You imagined it.

A truck!

Outside!

Everybody dead.

Listen!

He's right.

The major's coming back!

After all this time?

He's not coming back, okay, Harry?

And you stay here.

Don't let him in.

I need someone on the gun.

I got you covered.

Okay.

Okay, James, don't shoot unless he tries to break in, all right?

Okay, and I'll be back.

We have no more food or medicine.

You will not be allowed inside.

There is nothing wrong with your television.

Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission.

We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can delude you with a

channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity and beyond.

We can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive.

For the next hour.

We will control all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience the awe and mystery which reaches from the deepest

inner mind to the outer limits.

with futures we dare not imagine come choices we dare not make.

There is no vaccine for the Berlin virus. There is now, ma 'am.

Private John Stanhope, U .S. Army. I'm to report to a Major Ford.

He left six days ago to get us more supplies.

He leave you in charge?

Yes.

Come closer.

Slowly.

What's he saying? Oh, shut up.

How many survivors?

Thirteen, including myself.

Oh, thank God you showed up. There's enough vaccine here for three.

What?

Three? But it's not enough.

You can thank Major Ford you got this much.

I'm responsible for 12 people. What am I supposed to do?

You decide.

Here.

The doctors wrote up what you call criteria.

It's all there, what to do, what the dosage is, the sort of people you should

pick.

No children.

Skilled, healthy adults in their early reproductive years.

That's what they said.

Now, the most important thing is it'll take another 73 hours before the vaccine

will work.

Three days, but why?

Something about it having to grow in a certain kind of bacteria.

Please, you need to get us more supplies. No, ma 'am, not me.

We're running out of fresh water. We don't have any more food.

I can't help you, ma 'am.

I'm heading back east while I still can.

Family's up there, a wife and two girls.

I know that they're dead.

I figure I should be with them when...

Listen, there's another dozen or so in town down the interstate.

I gave them the same as I gave you. Maybe you can hook up with them.

So there are others?

Not many. A lot more dead.

That's why the mask, it helps with the smell.

Anyway, I want to be heading on the road.

What do you want me to do with this?

There's a loading bay in the back of the building.

Could you please drive it around?

I can do that.

Go back to your homes.

Anyone attempting to enter the hospital will be repelled by deadly force.

These soldiers mean death to those who go home.

Private?

Ma 'am?

I just wanted to say I hope you make it home.

Here she comes.

Here she comes.

Was it the major?

No, it was a soldier.

Well, he was carrying something. He saw it through the window.

Did you get it? Did he give it to you? Get what?

The cure. He had a son. No, it's not a cure.

It's a vaccine.

Where is it? Let's take it.

It can be a minister for another three days.

Can we wait that long? Why give it to us if it's not ready? Are they sure it's

going to work?

No. It's untested.

What if we get infected before we can take it?

Well, we just have to make sure that doesn't happen.

We're almost out of gas for the generator.

There are dozens of cars in the parking lot, James.

Aren't we almost out of food and water?

We ration what we found in the cafeteria.

Well, I know it's not much, but there should be plenty once we can leave the

hospital. What if we take it now?

Then we die, Gran.

Come on, guys. We managed to get it for a month, hence before the disaster.

What, three more days?

It's not that we're not grateful for everything you've done, dear.

It's just...

Difficult.

I know it is.

I know.

And, James, if you're worried about the generator... Yeah, I better go top it

up.

What should the rest of us do?

Just hang in there, Lawrence.

I'm sick of hanging in there. Well, then do something, Barb.

Hola, mami.

I thought you might have heard about the quarantine and I didn't want you to

worry.

I wish they wouldn't call it that.

It's just a bug that is resistant to antibiotics and that they don't want it

get out into the world.

It's not dangerous to me at all, but we just can't let anyone in or out of our

entire wing until we have it under control.

Yeah, I know.

I know my word is right in the middle of it, but...

Mom, listen to me. Just focus on the overtime, all right?

Exactly.

Yeah, it should only last for a few days.

I heard something outside.

Yes.

You were expecting someone.

No.

It's what a soldier.

Delivering a vaccine from the CDC.

And this depresses you.

How's the pain?

I mean, what's wrong?

It'll be three days before we can try it on anyone.

Is that so bad?

We're almost at the end of the road here.

I know the feeling.

But it's been how long? Two months?

Longer.

You could wait three more days, for heaven's sake.

Something else.

What is it? Tell me.

Only no vaccine for three people.

Does everyone know about this? No, I can't probably tell them.

That's not what you're giving me.

No.

It's morphine.

That may be your favorite, but I want you to take me off the list.

Don't argue with me. I'm dying for him.

I'm your favorite, right?

Thank you for making me laugh.

What? You didn't laugh.

You're the only one I can talk to.

But you and the three people.

Sweetheart, sweetheart.

We can make all the decisions we want. And you know what? It still won't be up

to you.

God cuts the thread. Not you, not me, not anyone.

You know how I know that?

Because I got terminal cancer and practically the whole world still died

I did. That's all.

Go ahead.

Have a good cry.

You know, personally, I thought it was pretty funny, but you cry.

We're almost out of gas.

I've got gas. Believe me, you don't want it.

Hey, Mr. Katz.

Young James.

He'll never come and see me anymore.

He's been feeling the major's shoes.

He's a good man.

I should put him on that list.

I'll be back in a couple of hours, okay? If you're in pain, just ring the bell

and I'll be right over.

What list?

We were just going over my will.

You get the stamp collection.

Great. Bye. See you later.

Still making jokes.

Yeah, considering the pain he's dealing.

So, uh, how much longer before the generator dies?

I just filled it up, but it won't last three days. And once the air purifier

stops running and contaminated air gets inside... Three days may as well be

three years.

So I guess tomorrow one of us puts on a suit and goes out in the parking lot

with a hose.

Finds a truck or something that runs on diesel.

And I guess that's me.

And I will ask for a volunteer.

Like who? Graham?

Like I said, I guess that's me.

I guess so.

I'm going to go check on the medical supplies, okay?

Marie, you'd better come see this.

The president is not available, but the White House has issued a statement. To

repeat, authorities have just confirmed the claim by doomsday cult leader

Gerhold Wagner that the so -called cult flu is in fact a genetically engineered

virus. created by his followers to fulfill their prophecy of the

CDC is unsure when or even if a cure will be found, but admits that many

thousands may already be infected.

Before being tracked down, nearly all of the 300 known cult followers managed to

make their way to the major city centers of the world, where they systematically

and deliberately spread the disease they created.

Of the cult members so far discovered, nearly all are dead or dying, leaving

health officials around the globe gravely concerned about the

People are being told to stay in their homes, and it's likely martial law will

soon be imposed.

Have they determined the incubation period?

It's long as two weeks.

What if it's airborne?

Marie?

Marie?

You all right?

Uh, yes.

I'm fine.

Would anyone care to join me in saying grace?

So, where is it?

I know we can't take it. I just want to see it.

In the time zone.

So, I say first thing we'll do when we can leave the hospital is go to the

biggest supermarket and have a seat.

They're all cleaned out.

That's right.

The major said the looting was worse than the supermarkets.

Oh, but look what I have here for you.

Come here, the one who gets to decide.

You trying to what?

Who gets what?

She's always bitching that you give the kid the best stuff to eat. There's no

best stuff. Stuck in this stupid hospital eating this crap. We all have,

what? Why don't you give the old guy our food if he's just gonna die anyway?

Will you just shut up? You!

Stop shouting. We've all been here the same amount of time. If we weren't

already in quarantine when... I know, we're the lucky ones. You don't have to

keep telling me. Then stop complaining.

For God's sake, if you don't want to give it to somebody else, throw it away.

don't really care what you do with it.

We could go to my house.

Good. Do you think my mom will be there?

I don't know, honey.

But, you know, people were told to stay in their homes.

You don't think she's still alive, do you?

No. Well, what do you want to go see something like that for?

I just want to go home, all right?

Can you please, Grandma? I mean, would you just...

Why can't we just eat for once?

I'll take you, Harry.

I tell you what.

We stop at your house, check it out, you get what you need, and then we go

wherever we want.

I mean, we can do that, right?

Yeah, sure.

We got the whole world to ourselves.

We go out into the world.

I've seen some of it. I was in the Navy before, but I tell you, Harry, it's big.

A lot of places to see.

So where do you want to go?

Where do you want to go?

Um... Oh, well, I would like to go to a beach.

Yes.

Somewhere warm.

I'm thinking New York City.

Maybe living in a penthouse for a while, you know?

That would be cool.

I'd stay out of the cities if I were you.

Journal entry, day 92.

Who lives?

Who dies?

If God cut the thread, then I pray for his guys.

Major, what is it?

It's for Harry.

It stinks of antibacterial spray, but it's clean.

Where did you get it?

His mother.

She walked all the way to the hospital because she wanted him to have it.

Apparently, it's his favorite.

There was a note with it, but it doesn't make any sense.

She's in the last stages, so I... Why is she?

She's out front, but you don't want to see her.

Marie...

You don't.

I gotta get back out there. They're still coming.

It's all right. I'm here now.

I'm here.

I was afraid you weren't coming.

Oh, no.

I should have checked on you.

You have nothing to be sorry about.

There.

There, that's better.

Yes.

God bless you.

I've been thinking about this list of yours.

You'll save yourself.

I can't. If I should, I would leave you.

I couldn't bear it.

I've been reading the three inoculated people will develop antibodies for

Sea.

So? Given enough time, might be able to create serum from their blood to

inoculate everyone else.

That's good.

What is it, kiddo? You're late.

I wet my bed.

It's okay.

There's nothing to be sad about.

That can be fixed.

But it never happened before.

Am I sick now?

Oh, no. You're not sick.

It could happen sometimes.

Come to my bed.

Come here. Okay. And I'm going to go and get you a new pair of pajamas and

sheets and everything's going to be okay, all right?

What the hell are you doing?

It's the middle of the night. Mr. Cat just got to sleep.

Isn't he dead yet?

He said he wasn't ready yet.

It's good.

He's fine.

Well, lucky you.

So you were just, what, keeping me in a cast so you could keep me in line?

She's a power tripper.

No, actually, I thought it was too soon.

And I still do.

Huh.

I guess you were wrong.

See?

It works.

Some more days.

Two more days and you can't tell if it's a do no more.

like an astronaut.

Well, it will protect you.

Don't worry.

The Major went in and out all the time.

There. Tell me I got the thing on right.

You do.

You do.

Okay, I'm ready.

Okay.

Move the light on.

I'll be watching you from the window.

Dog.

James!

James! He can't hear you.

James! Get inside the truck!

Get off me! Get out of here!

Get off!

Get out of here!

Damn!

Come on, come on.

Come on, come on.

We have to go get him.

Look here, baby. He's been exposed.

We need fuel for the generator.

I know that.

What do we do now? I'm the...

Major, come on in.

It's all quiet outside now.

I've still got two men out there, but... I don't think you're going to have to

listen to any more shooting.

I just, uh... I'm going to grab a couple hours sleep.

Any news?

The last announcement was that the president and his senior staff were

Don't you feel better?

What about the CDC?

They're working on a vaccine, but it may still take a week.

They know we're here. I made sure of that.

You have a family?

You know, wife, kids?

No.

You?

My mom.

Two dogs, a cat.

understand why dr egan wanted to go home if i had a family i might

what's happening it's okay the generator will come on in a minute it's okay

marie

The generator.

Oh, it's still running.

Forget about that.

What's this?

Graham, I need... What the hell is it?

I need the instructions to make the vaccine. It says that there's only

for three people.

Yeah, but... Yeah, when were you going to tell us?

Well, there's another way of... When?

How? When you took care of yourself and the kid?

Graham, it was just...

He was ringing the bell. Don't worry about him.

I took care of him.

What do you mean?

I said I took care of him.

Guess you weren't expecting us to look for it in there.

That's it.

Generator just cut.

Okay, go. Start mixing it up. And whatever you got to do, time's up.

It's too soon.

You said three days.

It's been three days.

Still five more hours to go.

It's close enough. Come on.

No.

Give me this.

It says preference should be given to healthy adults in their early

years.

Me, Graham, and Kirk.

That's what it says!

If you let me choose the three, there's still a chance we can all survive.

How? No.

It says right here.

There's only enough for three people.

But if we choose those people by blood type, in a few weeks there might be

enough antibodies in their blood to transfuse into ours.

It's called passive inoculation, and sometimes it works.

And who are the three?

You, Harry, and Jean.

Her?

Those are the only blood type combinations that can provide enough

rest of us. No way, man.

Graham, I'm giving myself the same odds as you.

It says right here in big fat letters, okay, children not recommended.

That's what it says.

That's what the government says.

Does it say that?

I mean, this is survival of the fittest. This is nothing personal.

You saw what happened to James out there. It's a new world, man.

You can't be worrying about kids and old ladies.

Your way don't work, Marie.

Too late for that. Once Barb is inoculated, she can go out there and get

supplies that we need.

Gas for the generator.

I said do it.

I'll leave you. He's one of the three.

He says no kids.

I don't give a damn what he says.

If you agree to let him leave, I'll do it.

Okay.

Go.

You have to give me a word that you'll take him home.

He wants to go home.

All right.

Go, go.

Here,

here. I'm scared.

It's all right, sweetheart. It's going to be fine.

I'm going to go home soon.

You okay?

Here, stay with him.

Here.

Don't you touch me!

Is it time to go home now?

What did you say?

I said it's time to go.

The truck just isn't coming.

There's no point waiting anymore.

I'll find a van or something, get the supplies we need and come back.

You're not seeing another nurse, are you?

Anything special you want from the store?

Surprise me.

I'll try.

Listen, if I don't come back... No.

You come back.

It's time for your needle, sweetheart.

It won't hurt.

No!

One of those for Harry!

You should do as you lose.

Come on.

I don't feel so good. My throat.

Your new entry, day 94.

The miracle we were waiting for was with us all along.

The very bacteria that forced us into quarantine.

We are immune.

Where are we going?

To your house.

Then what?

Then we'll see.

Marie!

James?

I noticed that myself.

Don't ask me why.

You're immune.

We all are.

Why do you know?

Because Kirk, Graham, and Barb took the vaccine, and they went into an epilactic

shock, so they had to have been already immune.

All the time.

Well, let's go, then.

Though survival of the fittest is the cornerstone of evolution, perhaps the

shall inherit the earth after all.
