Come on... Just a name.

I'm Mark.

This is Enid.

Nicu.

-Hazel.

- Hazel.

-Whatever you think of us,

we really are trying to help.

-Like how you helped the kid out there?

-He wasn't...we

-We were just there to breach the perimeter.

- Perimeter? So now we're in prison now?

-If this is all for our safety,

why do you need these?

-Something is happening out there.

Did you get out unarmed?

What are you doing?

No. Please.

- So if I just open this...

-No, please!

Don't!

-She's not wearing it to protect us

from what's out there,

she's wearing it to protect her from us!

-What's wrong with us?

-Hazel?

We think the first case has started a month ago.

-i knew it!

-We hoped it was isolated,

but it spread so fast!

-But what caused it?

- I don't know.

I don't know.

I really don't!

-How come no one reported it?

-We told them not to.

- Why the secrecy?

-Widespreasd panic would

just make things worse.

-Worse than this?

-they told us to isolate infected areas.

Run tests and not tell anyone except please...

- Please remain calm?

You can't keep a lid on this forever.

When people get better,

word's gonna get out and...

-How many patients

have recovered, Hazel?

-There is a chance that

none of you are infected.

-And a chance we all are?

-So.. This virus...

What does it do?

the rate of progression

varies, but in most cases we've seen it...

...begins in the throat.

it becomes difficult to

breathe and to speak.

The next stage is rapid

macular degeneration.

-That means we all go blind!

-Finally...the vital organs

shut down one by one.

It can be very fast.

but it's never painless.

-Well, you have a vaccine, right?

-We're not prepared. it was too

quick, too widespread.

-How widespread? Please

my wife and kid are out there.

-I don't know. That's all

I know, I'm sorry...

-Sergei, no!

-What she can do is breathe

the same air as us.

What's that? Huh?

I said she was holding out on us.

-What's in the syringe?

-A Vaccine.

Well, a prototype.

-Does it work?

- I don't know.

What do you know?

If we make it through

the next 24 hours

without showing symptoms

we might stand a chance.

-That's reassuring!- Then we have to go!

- That's right!

But they can't treat

all of us, can they?

- But anyone else within

that door be a carrier.

A moment of contact,

breathing the same air,

that's all it takes.

Your best chance for survival

is to stay inside.

I wasn't trained me for this.

It's all been some war zone.

-You are...

-We've been through this already.

-Maybe we could share it?

-She said the dosage was too low.

Just be wasting it.

-OK. then the moment anyone feels sick,

they have to let everyone know.
