Bats Page #2

And destroy them, if need be.

You can count on that.

I'll help you find them,

but I'm not gonna destroy them.

I won't let you destroy them.

Don't worry.

It won't go that far, I assure you.

Bats can be anywhere in a 100-mile

radius. That's their range.

They could also be in a barn

or under a bridge or in a sewer.

That's just dandy.

But we gotta get started.

So if you had to pick one place

to look, where might that be?

Here.

The attack happened between

the town and national park.

This is the corridor

between its roost...

...and its food.

This is Kimsey.

Where?

This definitely won't look good

in the morning paper.

These killings weren't done

by a single bat, or even two.

Our bats must be infecting other bats

with the virus.

This is Dr. Sheila Casper.

This is Mayor Branson.

Emmett, tell me what in heaven's name

is going on, would you?

As far as we can tell, we think

this was done by some sort of...

...bats.

- Bats.

- Yes, ma'am.

I know it sounds crazy--

The bats we're referring to

are diseased.

They're infected with

some sort of virus.

We don't know much more yet,

but we hope to soon.

What am I supposed to tell

the families, the town?

We got rabid bats on the loose?

Whatever you say, Amanda, say it now.

Tell folks to stay inside at night

till this all blows over.

Deputy Munn will put calls out.

All right, Wesley?

What we need to avoid right now

is any sort of panic.

You can save that panicking stuff

for later.

You mean the TV, radio--

Whatever you gotta do, Wesley,

just do it. Get the word out.

And cancel that football game tonight.

They were gonna lose anyway.

Dr. Hodge, anything?

Good news. Preliminary blood tests

from the two teenagers suggest...

...that any abnormalities infecting

the bats is...

...completely host-specific

and can't be transferred...

...in active form to humans.

The bats can only infect other bats?

The virus was designed specifically...

...not to be transmittable beyond

the bats' own zoological order.

Dr. McCabe, what exactly did

you do to them?

I'm sorry, but I'm not allowed to say.

Now that's bullshit!

Those things are killing people in my

town, and you're directly responsible.

We need to know

what we're dealing with.

I'm curious myself,

now that you mention it.

All right, I'll tell you.

Let me know how I do.

You've increased

their natural intelligence.

Yes. And their ability

to work together communally.

That's not so bad. We could

all use a little dose of that.

- Then you made them aggressive.

- Now that's bad.

Finally, you made them carnivores.

No, Dr. Casper.

I made them omnivorous.

Put my bats anywhere

in the world and...
