 EVE: CHRIS.
LOOK, YOU TOLD ME YOU WERE
WORKING ON A CURE FOR
THE NEPALESE INFLUENZA VIRUS.
HOW ON EARTH DID THAT MUTATE
INTO WHAT FRANK HAS?
 CHRIS: I DON'T KNOW, OK?
THE SHIFT MUST HAVE OCCURRED
IN ONE OF THE REPRODUCTIVE
EVOLUTIONS.
 EVE: FRANK HAS ONE FOOT
IN THE GRAVE.
LARK, WHO WAS IN CONTACT
WITH FRANK, IS NOW ALSO SICK.
SO WHATEVER THIS IS,
IT'S CONTAGIOUS.
 CHRIS: NOW WAIT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE.
YOU DON'T KNOW THAT LARK HAS
THE SAME THING AS FRANK, OK?
LOOK, FRANK MAY BE BAD,
BUT MAYBE THIS IS AS BAD AS HE'S
GOING TO GET.
 EVE: DO YOU HAVE ANY CULTURES
LEFT OVER FROM THE EXPERIMENT?
MAYBE THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN
DO TO HELP FRANK AND LARK.
 CHRIS: NO, I DESTROYED
EVERYTHING I WAS WORKING ON.
 EVE: DO WE EVEN HAVE A CLUE
AS TO WHAT WE'RE UP AGAINST
HERE?
 CHRIS: SHH.
 ELLEN: HEY, HEY, HEY.
THESE JUST CAME FROM
THE ELECTRON MICROSCOPE
IN THE LAB.
THIS FIRST ONE IS THE NEPAL
INFLUENZA THAT WE ALL KNOW
AND LOVE.
NOW FEAST YOUR EYES ON THIS.
 EVE: MY GOD.
WHAT IS THAT?
 ELLEN: WHAT WAS FORMERLY
NEPAL INFLUENZA TYPE A VIRUS IS
NOW A NEW SUBTYPE.
AND FRANKLY, I'VE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE IT.
 EVE: NEITHER HAVE I.
THIS CELL ISN'T JUST BUDDING
WITH VIRUS, IT'S EXPLODING LIKE
A BOMB.
 ELLEN: WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S
AIRBORNE OR SPREAD BY DIRECT
CONTACT, BUT WE DO KNOW THAT IT
IS A HIGHLY VIRULENT
AND CONTAGIOUS STRAIN.
 CHRIS' VOICE: MIXING
DL-56 WITH EVE LAMBERT'S FLU
VIRUS SEEMS TO HAVE SOMEHOW
ACCELERATED THE VIRUS' GROWTH.
 KEVIN: WELL, DIDN'T I ONCE
HEAR YOU SAY NOTHING KEEPS
A SCANLON DOWN?
 FRANK: THERE'S A FIRST TIME
FOR EVERYTHING.
 KEVIN: HOW DO YOU FEEL?
 FRANK: OK.
[FRANK WHEEZES]
 KEVIN: FRANK?
FRANK?
HOLD ON.
I'VE GOT A DYSPNEIC PATIENT
IN HERE!
 NURSE: I GOT IT.
RIGHT.
HEY, CAN I GET SOME HELP?
 LUCY: HEY, HEY, DON'T GO.
DON'T LEAVE ME.
DON'T LEAVE ME.
 SCOTT: I'M NOT GOING
ANYWHERE.
EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE
FINE, OK?
CAN I GET SOME HELP?
[CAPTIONING MADE POSSIBLE BY
NCI'S CORPORATE PARTNERS]
 SCOTT: ELLEN. ELLEN.
COME HERE.
 ELLEN: OH, MY GOSH.
HOW LONG HAS SHE BEEN LIKE THIS?
 SCOTT: WELL, WHEN WE GOT HOME
FROM DINNER, SHE STARTED FEELING
THIS WAY.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
WHY DO YOU HAVE THIS MASK
AND EVERYTHING ON?
 ELLEN: JUST A PRECAUTION.
 SCOTT: OH.
BY THE WAY, SHE -- SHE GOT
A CHILL, AND HER FEVER WENT
TO 102.
 ELLEN: LOOK, SHE'S
BURNING UP.
DID YOU, BY CHANCE, HAVE DINNER
TONIGHT AT MARIO'S?
 SCOTT: YES.
THAT'S WHEN IT ALL STARTED,
AFTER WE GOT HOME FROM THERE.
 ELLEN: WE GOT TO GET
HER TO A CUBICLE.
RUDY!
 SCOTT: HERE, I'LL GET HER.
RUDY.
ALL RIGHT, READY?
 CHRIS: TWO NEW CASES,
BOTH PEOPLE FROM MARIO'S.
THIS ISN'T GETTING BETTER.
 EVE: ARE YOU SAYING WE MAY
HAVE AN OUTBREAK HERE?
 CHRIS: WHAT ABOUT ANTI-VIRAL
AGENTS, YOU KNOW -- AMANTADINE,
RIMANTADINE.
THEY TREAT SOME CASES OF TYPE A
INFLUENZA.
 EVE: IT DIDN'T WORK.
IF THE VIRUS IS RESISTANT TO ONE
OF THOSE DRUGS, IT'S GOING TO BE
CROSS-RESISTANT TO THE OTHER.
AND WE TRIED AMANTADINE.
THIS IS A VARIANT STRAIN, CHRIS.
THE STRENGTH OF THIS THING IS
ALMOST ALIEN.
 CHRIS: LOOK, IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BLACK DEATH
OR SOMETHING.
THIS COULD BE A 24-HOUR BUG,
FOR ALL WE KNOW.
 EVE: LOOK, I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
LOOKING FOR A WAY OUT
OF THIS, OK?
BUT THIS IS NOT JUST
YOUR COMMON, EVERYDAY COLD.
I KNOW YOU SAID YOU DESTROYED
ALL THE CULTURES FOR THE NEW
VIRUS, BUT WHAT ABOUT THE ONE
YOU USED TO CREATE IT?
I MEAN, IFHIS IS JUST
THE NEPALESE FLU VIRUS JUICED UP
ON SOMETHING, THEN MAYBE WHAT
WE NEED TO LOOK AT IS WHAT
YOU MIXED IT WITH.
SO DO YOU STILL HAVE ANY
OF YOUR CURE FOR THE COMMON
COLD?
 CHRIS: I USED IT ALL.
 EVE: WELL, CAN WE MAKE MORE
OF IT?
I MEAN, IF WE RE-CREATE
YOUR EXPERIMENT, THEN MAYBE --
MAYBE WE CAN COME UP
WITH A VACCINE, STOP THIS THING
FROM SPREADING.
 CHRIS: ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
 EVE: OK.
 KEVIN: I JUST CAME
FROM SEEING FRANK.
HE'S GETTING WORSE.
 EVE: DAMN.
 CHRIS: SYMPTOMS?
 KEVIN: HE'S STILL FEBRILE.
HE'S BECOMING EVEN MORE DYSPNEIC
AND TACHYCARDIC.
HIS BLOOD PRESSURE'S LOW.
ARE YOU FEELING OK?
 CHRIS: YEAH, I'M FINE.
 EVE: LISTEN, KEVIN,
THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME KIND
OF AN ANTI-VIRAL DRUG THAT CAN
STOP THIS DISEASE IN ITS TRACKS.
CHRIS AND I ARE GOING TO GO
TO THE LAB RIGHT NOW AND SEE
IF THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN DO.
 KEVIN: WELL, THREE HEADS ARE
BETTER THAN TWO.
AND MICROBIOLOGY WAS ALWAYS ONE
OF MY STRONG SUITS.
 ELLEN: COME ON!
I COULD USE SOME HELP WITH LUCY
COE BACK HERE.
 NURSE: NO PROBLEM, DOCTOR.
 KEVIN: ELLEN, WHERE'S LUCY?
 ELLEN: IN TRIAGE.
 KEVIN: WHEN I SPOKE TO SCOTT,
HE SAID THAT LUCY HAD FEVER
AND CHILLS.
WHAT'S HER STATUS NOW?
 ELLEN: I HAVEN'T FINISHED
MY EXAM, BUT SHE'S NOT IN GOOD
SHAPE.
HER BREATHING IS THREADY,
AND HER B.P. IS VERY LOW.
I NEED 100 cc's OF PLASMA, STAT.
KEVIN, BUDDY, I'M SORRY,
BUT I GOT TO GET BACK, OK?
 EVE: KEVIN.
KEVIN, GO.
YOU DON'T JUST STOP CARING ABOUT
SOMEBODY OVER A NICE DINNER
AND A ROUND OF 20 QUESTIONS.
 KEVIN: EVE, I WILL BE THERE
AS SOON AS I CAN.
 EVE: OK.
I'LL MEET YOU AT THE LAB.
 PARAMEDIC: WE HAVE ANOTHER
ONE.
 CHRIS: HOW LONG HAS LARK BEEN
LIKE THIS?
 MARIO: SINCE RIGHT AFTER
THEY TOOK FRANK AWAY.
ONE MINUTE WE'RE CLOSING UP,
THE NEXT MINUTE HER LEGS
WOULDN'T EVEN HOLD HER UP.
 CHRIS: ALL RIGHT.
GUYS, PUT HER IN TWO.
LET'S GO.
 MARIO: DR. RAMSEY, YOU HAVE
TO TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON.
I MEAN, THIS ALL STARTED
IN MY PLACE.
 CHRIS: WE'RE WORKING ON IT.
THAT'S ALL I CAN TELL YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU GO BE WITH LARK?
SHE COULD USE A FRIENDLY FACE.
 SCOTT: HOW'S HER PULSE?
 ELLEN: WEAK AND FAST,
BUT THE FLUIDS SHOULD HELP.
COMFORTABLE, HONEY?
 LUCY: YEAH.
NO. NOT -- NOT REALLY.
LISTEN, ELLEN, I -- I PULLED
YOU OUT OF THAT STINKING WELL,
RIGHT?
SO YOU'RE GOING TO PULL ME OUT
OF THIS, OK?
 ELLEN: HMM, I'LL DO MY BEST.
 SCOTT: ELLEN, I -- I DON'T
UNDERSTAND THIS.
LUCY TAKES A WHOLE BUSLOAD
OF VITAMINS ALL -- SHE NEVER
GETS SICK.
 ELLEN: HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING
YOUR VITAMINS?
 SCOTT: OH, NO, I'M GETTING
THE MASK TREATMENT.
 ELLEN: WELL, MAYBE WITH YOU,
WE CAN NIP IT IN THE BUD.
LET'S GO HAVE A LOOK.
 SCOTT: LET ME TELL LUCY WHERE
I'M GOING.
 ELLEN: OK.
 KEVIN: ELLEN, I'M HTO SEE
LUCY.
 ELLEN: YOU NEED A MASK.
>`;ño

 LUCY: HEY, DOC.
 KEVIN: HI.
 LUCY: YOU KNOW, YOU REALLY
SHOULD WEAR THAT MASK YOU HAVE
ON THERE.
 KEVIN: SO I'VE HEARD.
SO WHAT HAPPENED TO
MISS "HEALTHY AS A HORSE"?
 LUCY: I -- I'M FEELING
A LITTLE BETTER.
IT'S JUST GETTING KIND OF HARD
TO BREATHE SOMETIMES.
 KEVIN: INFLUENZA HAS A NASTY
WAY OF MESSING UP YOUR
RESPIRATORY TRACK.
ELLEN'S GOING TO COME BACK
TO HELP YOU WITH THAT.
 LUCY: OH, GOOD.
OH, DOC --
 KEVIN: LUCY --
 LUCY: THIS DOESN'T FEEL GOOD.
I CAN'T --
 KEVIN: LUCY?
 LUCY: I CAN'T STOP SHAKING.
I CAN'T --
 KEVIN: LUCY, IT'S -- SHH.
IT'S -- LUCY, IT'S GOING TO BE
ALL RIGHT.
IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.

OREO O's AND MILK.
THE CRISIS CONTINUES.
 KEVIN: HI.
 LUCY: HEY.
 KEVIN: YOU'VE STOPPED
SHIVERING.
 LUCY: YEAH.
HEY,
YOU HAVE THE MAGIC TOUCH.
 KEVIN: HAPPY TO BE
OF SERVICE.
 LUCY: YOU KNOW,
IT WAS SO WEIRD SEEING
YOU AT MARIO'S TONIGHT,
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ORDERED
THE CHEESECAKE.
 KEVIN: I DIDN'T LIKE IT MUCH.
 LUCY: AHA.
SEE, I KNEW IT.
I TOLD MYSELF,
MY DOC'S NOT A CHEESECAKE GUY.
 OTT: HOW IS SHE?
 KEVIN: SHE'S SLEEPING,
FINALLY.
I THOUGHT YOU'D HAVE A CUBICLE
OF YOUR OWN.
 SCOTT: WELL, I DIDN'T WANT
TO LEAVE HER ALONE.
THEY GAVE ME A SHOT.
I'LL BE FINE WHEN IT KICKS IN.
 KEVIN: WE HAD A NICE TALK.
FINALLY GOT HER TO SLEEP.
 SCOTT: ARE THEY GOING
TO FIGURE OUT WHAT'S WRONG HERE?
 KEVIN: THE STAFF'S WORKING
ON IT.
YOU KNOW, MAYBE YOU SHOULD SIT
DOWN.
YOU LOOK LIKE YOU NEED IT.
SHE'LL BE HAPPY IF YOU'RE HERE
WHEN SHE WAKES UP.
JUST TELL HER I'LL BE BACK
LATER.
 SCOTT: ALL RIGHT, LUCY.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS.
WE GOT THROUGH THOSE ALLIGATORS
DOWN THERE IN FLORIDA.
WE'RE GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS.
 ELLEN: HEY, LARK,
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?
 LARK: I JUST WANT TO TALK
TO FRANK FOR FIVE MINUTES.
I WANT TO TELL HIM THAT HE IS
NOT ALONE.
 ELLEN: IT'S OK.
GIVE HER FIVE MINUTES WITH HIM,
BUT THEN I WANT YOU BACK
IN YOUR CUBICLE.
 LARK: I APPRECIATE IT,
DR. BURGESS.
 LARK: FRANK?
 FRANK: WHY ARE YOU HERE?
 LARK: THEY BROUGHT ME
IN RIGHT AFTER YOU.
 FRANK: ARE YOU SICK?
 LARK: YEAH.
EVERYONE IS.
WE'RE ALL COMING DOWN WITH WHAT
YOU GOT -- SOME KIND OF FLU.
 FRANK: I DON'T HAVE THE FLU.
I TOOK SOME BAD DL-56,
AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED.
 LARK: WE ALL CAN'T BE GETTING
SICK FROM DL-56.
 FRANK: MAYBE EVERYONE ELSE
HAS THE FLU AND I CAUGHT IT,
BECAUSE THIS NEW FORMULA TRASHED
MY IMMUNE SYSTEM.
I NEVER GOT SICK ON THE OLD
STUFF.
 LARK: BUT YOU -- YOU KNOW
LESS ABOUT CHEMISTRY THAN I DO.
HOW COULD YOU COME UP WITH A NEW
FORMULA?
 FRANK: I DIDN'T.
RAMSEY HAS BEEN GIVING ME
THE ORIGINAL COMPOUND.
AND THEN HE CAME UP
WITH AN IMPROVED VERSION.
I TOOK THAT,
AND I ENDED UP HERE.
 LARK: THAT -- THAT DOESN'T
MAKE ANY SENSE.
 FRANK: LARK, MY BODY FEELS
LIKE IT'S MELTING DOWN, AND IT'S
NOT THE FLU!
 LARK: OK.
 FRANK: I NEED SOME
OF THE ORIGINAL DL-56.
 LARK: I HAVE NO IDEA HOW
TO GET IT.
 FRANK: FIND RAMSEY!
I'LL DIE WITHOUT AN INJECTION.
HE KNOWS THAT.
GET IT FROM HIM.
 EVE: WHERE ARE THE SAMPLES
OF THE NEPALESE INFLUENZA VIRUS
THAT YOU TOOK FROM ME?
 CHRIS: THEY'RE IN THE FRIDGE.
HOW DO YOU KEEP THAT ROSY GLOW
AFTER BEING EXPOSED TO THE BUG?
 EVE: THAT'S JUST THE KIND
OF GIRL I AM, I GUESS.
ACTUALLY, THE CULTURES YOU TOOK
FROM ME CONTAINED THE ORIGINAL
VIRUS, SO I'VE PROBABLY STARTED
MAKING ANTIBODIES TO PROTECT ME
FROM THIS STRAIN.
 CHRIS: YEAH, THE ORIGINAL
ANTIBODY PROBABLY PROVIDES
AT LEAST PARTIAL PROTECTION.
 EVE: NOW, WHAT ABOUT
THE MIXTURE YOU COMBINED
WITH MY VIRUS?
 CHRIS: I -- I DON'T HAVE ANY
LEFT.
I'LL HAVE TO PULL OUT THE OLD
COOKBOOK, I GUESS, MAKE SOME
MORE.
 EVE: ARE YOU GOING TO LET ME
LISTEN TO THAT, OR ARE
YOU AFRAID I'M GOING TO STEAL
YOUR MIRACLE DRUG?
 CHRIS: NO, THE COMPOUND'S
JUST A HARMLESS FORMULA I'VE
BEEN MESSING WITH.
I JUST HAVE SOME OTHER THINGS
ON THIS TAPE I'D RATHER HAVE
YOU NOT HEAR.
 EVE: WELL, IT MAY BE HARMLESS
BY ITSELF, BUT COMBINING IT
WITH A VIRUS IS A DISASTER.
THIS JUST MAY QUALIFY IT FOR LAB
ACCIDENT OF THE YEAR AWARD.

PITIFUL.
 LUCY: DOC?
DOC?
 SCOTT: HEY.
HEY, IT'S ME.
 LUCY: HEY.
LAST TIME I LOOKED,
KEVIN WAS HERE.
 SCOTT: HOW WAS YOUR NAP?
 LUCY: OOH.
WELL, I'VE HAD BETTER.
I DON'T KNOW, I HAD SOME
OF THE WEIRDEST DREAMS.
 SCOTT: WELL, YOU KNOW,
YOU'RE GETTING KIND
OF A REPUTATION FOR THAT.
WHO WAS I THIS TIME
IN YOUR DREAM?
KIND OF A WEREWOLF, PROBABLY.
AND IF SO, I'M GETTING RID
OF THE BEARD.
 LUCY: HEY, I AM SO HOT.
COULD YOU MAYBE -- COULD
YOU OPEN A WINDOW IN HERE,
PLEASE?
 SCOTT: LUCY, THESE LITTLE
ROOMS DON'T COME WITH WINDOWS.
I THOUGHT THIS FEVER WOULD'VE
BROKEN BY NOW.
 LUCY: LISTEN, I'M BURNING UP.
I FEEL LIKE I'M JUST FRYING.
COULD YOU TELL ME ABOUT CANADA?
 SCOTT: WHY CANADA?
 LUCY: BECAUSE I WANT TO THINK
NICE, ICY-COLD THOUGHTS.
TELL ME COLD THINGS ABOUT
CANADA, PLEASE.
I WANT TO FREEZE.
COME ON.
 SCOTT: WELL, I --
I COULD NEVER GET WARM
IN CANADA.
I GUESS MAYBE BECAUSE
YOU WEREN'T THERE.
WE LIVED SO FAR OUT, IT WAS
ALWAYS ICE AND SNOW.
AND EVERY TIME WE'D GO OUT
TO BUILD A SNOWMAN, THAT SNOWMAN
WOULD LAST ALMOST TILL THE NEXT
YEAR.
 LUCY: IT'S WORKING.
I -- I'M FREEZING.
I'M FREEZING.
COULD YOU GET ME MORE BLANKETS?
 SCOTT: YOU'RE HOT,
YOU'RE COLD.
NOW WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M GOING TO GET ELLEN HERE.
 LUCY: NO, NO, NO.
SCOTT, DON'T GO.
PLEASE DON'T GO.
I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONE.
STAY WITH ME, PLEASE.
 SCOTT: OK, LISTEN, I GOT
AN IDEA.
I GOT AN IDEA.
COME HERE.
NOW, LISTEN.
HERE YOU GO.
NOW, LISTEN --
HERE, I'LL KEEP YOU WARM.
ALL RIGHT?
 LUCY: YEAH.
 SCOTT: IS THIS BETTER?
NOW, YOU JUST --
 LUCY: YEAH, IT'S BETTER,
BETTER.
 SCOTT: YOU JUST GET SOME
SLEEP, OK?
GET SOME SLEEP.
I'M RIGHT HERE.
 KEVIN: NO, VICTOR, I'M SURE
YOU'RE RIGHT.
I'M SURE YOUR CHICKEN SOUP WOULD
BE A HUGE HIT DOWN HERE.
BUT HOSPITALS ARE THE BEST
PLACES TO GET SICK.
DON'T YOU KNOW THAT YET?
NO, VICTOR --
VICTOR, I WANT YOU TO STAY HOME.
NO, I'M GOING UP TO THE LAB
TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO.
I'LL CALL YOU LATER IF I NEED
YOU, ALL RIGHT?
THANK YOU.
LARK?
 LARK: I KNOW YOU'RE GOING
TO TELL ME TO GET BACK IN BED,
DR. COLLINS, BUT I CAN'T.
 KEVIN: HOW ABOUT I MAKE
YOU GET BACK IN THERE, LARK.
YOU CAN'T EVEN STAND UP.
NURSE?
NURSE, HELP ME.
TAKE HER BACK.
 LARK: NO.
I HAVE TO FIND CHRIS.
IT IS TOO IMPORTANT.
 KEVIN: I'LL LET HIM KNOW THAT
YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HIM, OK?
 ELLEN: LARK?
I GAVE YOU STRICT ORDERS TO GO
BACK TO BED.
NURSE, MAKE SURE SHE GETS BACK
TO HER CUBICLE.
 NURSE: YES. RIGHT AWAY.
 KEVIN: ELLEN, IF YOU DON'T
MIND MY SAYING SO, YOU LOOK
TERRIBLE.
 ELLEN: JUST LIKE EVERYONE
ELSE AROUND HERE -- EXCEPT YOU.
WHAT'S YOUR SECRET?
 KEVIN: GERMS HATE ME?
 ELLEN: I DON'T SOUND TOO
GOOD, EITHER.
 KEVIN: MAYBE IT'S TIME
YOU GOT OFF YOUR FEET.
 ELLEN: I CAN'T -- TOO MANY
SICK PEOPLE.
 KEVIN: YOU KNOW, I HAVE BEEN
WONDERING WHY I'M NOT GETTING
SICK.
MAYBE MY BODY'S FIGHTING IT OFF
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN EXPOSED
TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS BEFORE.
 ELLEN: YOU KNOW, WE DON'T
KNOW WHAT THE INCUBATION PERIOD
FOR THIS STRAIN IS,
BUT THE PROCESS IS SO SWIFT.
 KEVIN: I'M GOING UP
TO THE LAB.
ELLEN, AT LEAST PRETEND
TO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
 ELLEN: I WILL IF I GET
THE TIME.
OOH, WHILE YOU'RE UP THERE,
SEE IF YOU CAN ISOLATE WHATEVER
IT IS THAT'S KEEPING YOU IMMUNE.
WE COULD USE A COUPLE GALLONS
OF IT.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
 ELLEN: BURGESS.
 MATT: LISTEN, WHAT'S GOING
ON DOWN THERE?
THE NURSE I SPOKE TO SAID ALL
HELL'S BREAKING LOOSE.
DO YOU NEED A HAND?
 ELLEN: WELL, THAT'S NOT
THE PRECISE MEDICAL TERM FOR IT,
BUT THAT'S PRETTY ACCURATE.
WE HAVE GOT A FLU OUTBREAK DOWN
HERE --
I DON'T WANT YOU CATCHING IT,
SO YOU STAY PUT.
 MATT: IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU ALREADY HAVE IT.
THAT'S ALL THE MORE REASON
FOR ME TO BE THERE, ELLEN.
 ELLEN: I CALLED MONICA
QUARTERMAINE EARLIER.
MATT, I'M SHUTTING DOWN THE EAST
WING E.R.
I DON'T WANT THIS VIRUS
SPREADING.
WE'LL KEEP ANY PATIENTS THAT
WE HAVE.
ANY NEW PATIENTS WILL BE
REROUTED.
AND WE'RE GOING TO NEED ALL
THE HEALTHY DOCTORS WE CAN GET,
SO PLEASE STAY WHERE YOU ARE.
I'VE GOT A FEW MORE PHONE CALLS
TO MAKE, AND I PROMISE TO KEEP
YOU POSTED.
PLEASE,
TRY NOT TO WORRY ABOUT ME.
I'M GOING TO BE OK.
 MATT: ELLEN, YOU PROMISE
TO LET ME KNOW IF YOU NEED ME.
 ELLEN: ALWAYS.
BYE, NOW.
 ELLEN: NURSE?
 NURSE: YES?
 ELLEN: REROUTE ALL NEW
EMERGENCY PATIENTS TO MERCY.
NO ONE COMES IN, NO ONE GOES
OUT.
SPREAD THE WORD --
WE ARE SHUTTING DOWN.
 NURSE: OK.
 ELLEN: IS THIS THE
ASSOCIATION FOR DISEASE CONTROL?
MY NAME IS DR. ELLEN BURGESS.
I'M CALLING FROM GENERAL
HOSPITAL IN PORT CHARLES,
NEW YORK.
WE'VE GOT A PROBLEM.
 KEVIN: WE'VE GOT A FULL-BLOWN
EPIDEMIC ON OUR HANDS
IN THE E.R.
NOW ELLEN'S COMING DOWN WITH IT.
PRETTY SOON WE WON'T HAVE ANY
STAFF LEFT TO TREAT
THE PATIENTS.
ANY PROGRESS?
 EVE: NOT YET.
CHRIS WON'T TELL ME WHAT KIND
OF BLACK BIOLOGY HE'S UP TO.
HE'S MIXING THE COMPOUND THAT
HE ADDED TO THE FLU VIRUS,
BUT I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE'S
DOING.
 KEVIN: CHRIS.
 CHRIS.
WHAT ARE YOU MIXING IT WITH?
 CHRIS: IT'S NOT IMPORTANT.
ONCE WE HAVE BOTH COMPOUNDS
WE CAN --
 EVE: CHRIS?
 CHRIS: OH, MAN.
I THINK THIS THING FINALLY
CAUGHT UP TO ME.
 EVE: OH!
 KEVIN: GET IT!
 EVE: NO, WATCH OUT!
OH, MY GOSH.
THAT CASSETTE HAD THE NOTES
FOR HIS FORMULA.
