Attaboy! Go in through that window!

Come on, through the window!

Oh, my trees! My trees!

They're all gonna go!

Uh, that is correct.

With the ultraviolet light operative,

there is no need for your masks.

We want all medical personnel to wear their masks

at all times, however, and any civilian volunteers.

You will need masks outside the

protected area, looks good. Looks good.

But in the ultraviolet,

we're considering it safe without a mask.

How much serum do we have?

Not very much, I'm afraid.

Boy, you people

sure come prepared, don't you?

Everything's on its way, doctor. I mean, i

can't snap my fingers and make it appear!

In a couple of hours

we'll have everything we need.

It's not a cure. Just a strong

antibiotic to build up resistance.

Sir, company a has arrived with the rest of

the radio gear. Where do you want it installed?

Set it up here. This'll be temporary

headquarters. Sir, need a deployment for company

where do you want this box?

Put it over there.

- Grab this one.

- I'll do it.

Somebody give me a hand, will ya!

What the heck they gonna do with all this?

What's happening?

Listen to me and don't talk.

There's a quarantine

on the town.

Everything's going to be all right. I

just don't want you and the baby exposed.

Exposed to what?

Just listen and don't say anything.

Lt's a highly contagious virus.

We're expecting several cases of it by

morning. I just don't want you around here.

You're gonna need me. I need

you like a hole in the head.

- We've got a whole army medical unit

on the way. - What's the army do-

will you listen to me? They're not going to want me

to let you go, so you're going to have to sneak out.

Okay, try this one! I want you to

take a syringe and some antibiotic for David.

You have to stay in town, so find David

and the two of you stay away from people.

Get this one over here!

Dr. brookmyre, I think we should

discuss larger facilities.

If this thing gets any worse, we're gonna

need someplace to set up an infirmary.

Nurse, I'd like you to work

with my doctor there.

The men that haven't been inoculated are

gonna need their shots when they report in.

Nurse, we need more needles!

These men with the ultraviolet need shots!

Follow doctor's orders.

What's all this; Stuff for?

So we can get in and out of here.

Over here. Over here!

Aii right. Got it.

Burn a little?

Yes, ma' am.

You're okay.

Thank you, ma'am.

Get out of the way!

I 've got things to do!

- Come on, move your legs!

- A ll right, all right.

Spend all day and night

around here.

Start moving your ass and unpack this

stuff. This is headquarters now.

Major Ryder, you said you wanted

Aside from this series, his works include The Crazies (1973), Martin (1978), Creepshow (1982), Monkey Shines (1988), The Dark Half (1993) and Bruiser (2000).
