...and lasts longer than

more common strains of flu.

The CDC has begun

emergency meetings today...

... to decide how to keep it

from getting any worse.

We think an inoculation program is our...

Our best shot at keeping this

under our thumb.

This flu season could be

the deadliest in 30 years.

I'm curious.

If you just cracked this new virus...

...how are you ready

with vaccines so quickly?

I wish there were more time to go over...

...all of the science and the internal

processes behind this project.

If you require more information...

...l'd suggest you bow out

of this round of contracts...

...and give us some time

to prepare a fact sheet.

Is that what you'd like,

Mrs. Cunningham?

Not at all. Just a question.

Well, we like those.

We like questions.

They got you to the moon.

Carol?

That man wouldn't give a name.

Can I help you?

Dr. Bennell, I'm Richard Lenk,

Wendy Lenk's husband.

What can I do for you, Mr. Lenk?

I'm waiting for my wife.

I don't think your wife

is coming in today.

She said she was coming in,

but I'm bringing her home.

Why don't you take a seat, Mr. Lenk,

and I'll see what I can find out.

Thank you, Carol Bennell.

- Yes?

- Wendy, it's Dr. Bennell. Where are you?

I am... I'm right outside your building.

I need to talk to you.

Or maybe I should talk to the police

if you think I should.

Wendy, your husband's here.

He's in the waiting room.

He said you were coming in.

I didn't want you to be surprised.

Carol, can you keep him there a while?

- What are you gonna do?

- I'll go home and pack.

I'll stay with my sister.

I didn't know if I could trust you.

Thank you.

Trust me?

Wendy. Wendy.

Your 9:
00 is here.

Send her in.

What about Mr. Lenk?

Dr. Bennell?

Give him a magazine.

Did you tell Gene

you're staying at your dad's...

...starting tonight?

- Yep.

It's a good thing

he still lives next door, huh?

lmagine the pickle you'd be in if you

didn't know any kids in the neighborhood.

Pickle.

- Bread-and-butter.

- Dill.

- Kosher.

- Sour.

- Sweet and hots.

- Gherkins.

Garlic chips. Perkies!

That's not one.

Come on. Perkies?

Anyway, you already won.

But why do people say

"in a pickle" anyhow?

- I think it's a baseball term.

- Mom!

Help me, please!

Help me!

They're coming!

Listen.

We've gotta warn people!

They're among us! They're here!

- Mom, what's wrong with her?

- Stop!

Oliver, you listen to me.

You stay put.

- All right?

- Okay.

- Ma'am!

- I'm a doctor.

Go back to your car.

I gotta clear the traffic out of this tunnel.

I saw it happen.

Where would you like me to wait

for a statement? I'm a witness.

I took down your plates.

Well, hold on.

Why did you take down my plates?
