to discuss larger facilities.

Maybe we could set something up

at the high school.

How do you intend to

let the people know about all this?

How? Well, we've been promised

bullhorns and loudspeakers.

No telling when

they're gonna arrive!

Hey! Wait!

Hey'. Hey'. Stop'.!

You can't-

hey, hey, hey:

Twenty-five minutes before the hour of 10:00.

This is Bob Lee till 12:00.

News and sports is in 25.

The weather forecast

for the western Pennsylvania area-

cloudy and cool tonight

with a 60% chance of rain.

Come on! Let me see them asses move.

We ain't clone yet.

Move it! Move it!

Somebody can't find nothin' to do!

- It's about time you got here.

- Sheriff, they're setting up roadblocks.

- What? - Out on the interstate ramps.

They got one up over on i-80 too.

What the hell gives here? / I don't know. They're

making an announcement at church services tonight.

All hell's broke loose in town.

Nobody knows what's going on.

We're up to our asses in soldiers.

What are you talking about?

Where is that major?

At the docto's office.

They're setting up their gear there.

They'll be headquartering over there.

- Brookmyre's office? - Yeah. They're

giving the soldiers some kind of injection.

- They say there's not enough for the town.

- Injections? What the hell is this about?

I don't know. Stoney said he'd seen

a truckful of'em going through town.

Truckful, hell.

Must be a couple hundred.

- Couple of hundred?

-Just get your butts back after that fire.

What the hell's going on, sheriff?

You'll know when I do, boy.

Let's go.

What do you think, old buddy?

Judy's at brookmyre's.

I got the wheels ifyou want to

bust in and find out what's up.

Let's go.

Saturday night service

is a high mass.

Yes, father. We'll try not to

disturb it any more than necessary.

- Perhaps after the mass I could ask the people

to wait. - No, father, I have to insist.

We need to inform the people.

I've got to make this announcement.

Excuse me, father, but we have the authority

to do this with or without your approval.

You're aware of the plane

crash last week. Yes.

That plane contained

an experimental vaccine.

We are afraid that crash may have caused

the spread of an infectious virus...

Through this area.

We can't give a story to the press yet.

We've got to see what develops.

We need some medium

for reaching the people in that town.

It's bad enough we didn't have

adequate supplies ready.

It'll all be under control

within a few more hours.

A few more hours?

That can be disastrous.

You put martial law on a town, drive a sneak perimeter around

'em like that, and you'rejust polarizing the situation.

That army becomes an invasionary force.
