in Washington finishes testing.
Funny. A hospital
for communicable diseases,
yet we had to send out to make the tests.
As a matter of fact, there are only
two or three labs in the entire country
that have specialized personnel to do it.
It's an immensely complicated procedure.
Keep them crossed.
Smallpox in New York City. Wow!
I'll never forget one smallpox epidemic
in China in 1902.
Spread like a swarm of hornets and as fast.
Killed half a million people
before we knew what was happening.
When I hear of a single case of smallpox,
even in Timbuktu,
I break out in a cold sweat.
But in New York City!
Keep your fingers crossed, General.
- Maybe the test will be negative.
- It's ready, sir.
It's positive. Smallpox.
What's the mortality rate?
One out of three die?
Yeah. And if you live,
you look like this.
Get me the Commissioner of Health,
New York City.
We're up against a disease that spreads
like wildfire. A plague out of the Dark Ages.
Somewhere in the city is the cause,
and every second it takes to find it
means that much more spread.
That's why we've got to work fast, Mr. Skrip.
I want anyone who even remotely
had contact with the child vaccinated.
That means everybody in the building
where she lived, where she went to school,
where her parents worked.
I'm depending on your staff of investigators
How many vaccination teams
can you throw in, Dr. Penner?
- Ten, so far.
- Investigators?
About 40.
Use every means short of a gun
to get cooperation.
Anyone not vaccinated
is liable to get the disease.
If they still refuse to submit,
tell them what they face.
A thousand ugly sores breaking through
and a fever that burns its victims to death.
You better get started.
Commissioner, what do you want to do
about the papers?
They'll be asking questions.
Better keep it out of the papers
for a while, Mr. James.
- We've got enough for now without panic.
- Yes, sir.
How much do you know
about Walda's family?
They came in from a mining town
a few months ago.
History of poverty and neglected health.
That's why I insisted the girl
be sent into the hospital.
In a sense, I feel responsible
for what's happened to her.
You did your job.
I'm putting you in charge, Dr. Wood.
It's your neighborhood that's been attacked.
Somewhere in Walda's family and
circle of friends is a person with smallpox.
Find that person
and we stop the disease in its tracks.
Good morning.
Well, got something for you today.
Mr. Krane. Mr. Krane,
how about that cheese special?
Look, it comes in a painted glass and when
it's empty, it goes right in your kitchen.
- Talk to my wife about it.
