00:06:11 #1 I'm on international frequency. Come in.

00:06:15 #2 The advantage I have over them during the day.

00:08:22 #3 Uncover every one of them.

00:08:39 #4 City I haven't searched enough to make before.

00:09:13 #5 What my blood, their lives are mine.

00:09:17 #6 Highly theoretical, Ben.

00:29:46 #7 Theoretical?

00:29:47 #8 Why have to remind you that theory

00:29:50 #9 is a beginning of solution?

00:29:58 #10 Is Europe's disease carried on the wind?

00:30:01 #11 Is it, Ben?

00:30:03 #12 Could be.

00:30:05 #13 And if it is?

00:30:06 #14 It isn't, Verge.

00:30:08 #15 Is that what you really think, or just what you'd like to think?

00:30:11 #16 I cannot accept half-baked theories that sell newspapers.

00:30:15 #17 I'm a scientist, not an alarmist.

00:30:18 #18 You're whistling past the graveyard.

00:30:20 #19 Is that a commentary on my work at the lab?

00:30:23 #20 We both know how hard you've worked.

00:30:25 #21 I'm sorry, Bench.

00:30:26 #22 I just can't accept the idea of universal disease.

00:30:30 #23 All right, Kathy. Who can resist that?

00:30:38 #24 You can resist that.

00:30:41 #25 All right.

00:30:42 #26 Card tricks.

00:30:46 #27 Robert, is it possible this germ or virus could be airborne?

00:30:54 #28 Anything is possible, Verge.

00:30:56 #29 The best brains in the world have been running through this thing with a fine tooth comb.

00:31:02 #30 The germ is visible under a microscope, but it's not like any bacilli I ever known.

00:31:08 #31 In what way?

00:31:10 #32 It can't be destroyed by any process we've been able to uncover.

00:31:15 #33 with the whole world trying. There must be a solution.

00:31:24 #34 Right now our problem is to cut that cake.

00:31:26 #35 Who is does?

00:33:02 #36 How do you feel? I'm all right.

00:33:05 #37 Oh, don't get up, honey.

00:33:07 #38 I'm not sick, Bob. I'll make you feel better.

00:33:08 #39 You don't have to.

00:33:10 #40 I'll be all right.

00:33:11 #41 Go on and read your paper.

00:33:13 #42 Look, if you don't feel well, please go back to bed.

00:34:01 #43 I'm just a little tired, that's all.

00:34:03 #44 You would find a vaccine.

00:34:08 #45 It's all we're working on at the lab, Virge.

00:34:12 #46 Maybe you better not send her to school today.

00:34:20 #47 You think you should go to work?

00:34:22 #48 I have to.

00:34:30 #49 Everything's going to be all right, sweetheart.

00:35:12 #50 It shows the higher white count than when

00:35:14 #51 I put it on the slide.

00:35:17 #52 Those cells are still living, Dr. Mercer, off one another.

00:35:21 #53 There has to be an answer.

00:35:23 #54 You heard that all communications are ended

00:35:25 #55 outside the continental limits?

00:35:27 #56 Yes, I heard.

00:35:28 #57 At least it in our laps.

00:35:30 #58 So we keep trying.

00:35:31 #59 Where's Cortland?

00:35:33 #60 Well, he should be here by now.

00:35:35 #61 You two stay on this virus theory until I decide it's exhaustive.

00:35:39 #62 Right.

00:35:41 #63 Yes, sir?

00:35:43 #64 Morgan will fill you in.

00:35:44 #65 All right, sir.

00:35:48 #66 And what did the great man of science have to say today?

00:35:51 #67 More of the usual?

00:35:52 #68 Oh, he's trying then, just like the rest of it.

00:35:55 #69 And nothing works.

00:35:57 #70 The streets are swarming with truckloads of bodies

00:36:00 #71 that they're throwing into that god-awful pit.

00:36:03 #72 And the dedicated Dr. Mercer goes on

00:36:05 #73 with his plotting unimaginative approach.

00:36:08 #74 Do you have a better idea?

00:36:09 #75 Maybe.

00:36:11 #76 At least it involves imagination.

00:36:12 #77 Ben, it's as simple as this.

00:36:14 #78 An unknown germ is being blown around the world.

00:36:18 #79 It's highly contagious and it's reached plague proportions.

00:36:21 #80 And you don't believe some of the dead have come back?

00:36:25 #81 Now let's get to work.

00:36:26 #82 And why are they burning the bodies?

00:36:31 #83 Why don't they bury them?

00:36:32 #84 Because it's the best known way to control the contagion,

00:36:35 #85 to keep the germ from spreading.

00:36:37 #86 That's what we've always believed at any rate.

00:36:40 #87 You'd prefer us to believe in vampire?

00:36:43 #88 If they exist, yes.

00:36:44 #89 Stories being told, Bob.

00:36:48 #90 By people who were out of their minds with fear.

00:36:51 #91 Maybe.

00:36:52 #92 But there are too many to be just coincidental.

00:36:56 #93 Stories about people who have died and have come back.

00:37:01 #94 Their stories, then, stories.

00:37:03 #95 And why are the infected people always

00:37:05 #96 so tired in the daytime?

00:37:07 #97 Why can't they stand the sunlight?

00:37:10 #98 Why are they only seen at night?

00:37:14 #99 Come here.

00:37:19 #100 Look, I know it's not...

00:37:20 #101 How is this the cell I originated?

00:37:27 #102 It doesn't alter.

00:37:27 #103 And this the cell I found in the blood of every infected person, or isn't it?

00:37:32 #104 To show me germs is not to refute these stories, Bob.

00:37:35 #105 Point is, if there are vampires, they exist in spite of these germs.

00:37:40 #106 Come on, let's get to work.

00:37:41 #107 The coverage of this national disaster.

00:37:57 #108 And now, we switch you to the state capital,

00:38:00 #109 where His Excellency the Governor is speaking from the Executive Mansion.

00:38:11 #110 Declared this date to be a disaster area.

00:38:14 #111 The public health is dependent on bodies.

00:38:18 #112 You must notify the health department immediately.

00:38:21 #113 If you have a plague victim in your home so that it exists, I...

00:38:34 #114 Anything new?

00:38:36 #115 No, nothing new.

00:39:06 #116 I said no.

00:39:12 #117 Verge, there's nothing they can do.

00:39:15 #118 Oh, can't you let her lie there?

00:39:17 #119 Well, this way she has a chance.

00:39:19 #120 If you call a doctor, he'll report it.

00:39:22 #121 Do you want that?

00:39:23 #122 How can you be so choosy?

00:39:39 #123 Blindness is one of the symptoms.

00:39:41 #124 You're not to call a doctor under any circumstances.

00:39:47 #125 No one is to come into this house.

00:39:49 #126 Now remember that.

00:39:51 #127 Mommy.

00:39:55 #128 Mommy, where are you?

00:39:57 #129 Ben Courtman up on the way to the...

00:40:02 #130 the lab.

00:40:04 #131 No one is to come into this house.

00:40:07 #132 Now remember that.

00:40:09 #133 See, Ben, we're late.

00:41:21 #134 Ben, what's the matter with you?

00:41:30 #135 Nothing, and I'm going to keep it that way.

00:41:32 #136 Ben, look, let's talk about this.

00:41:35 #137 There's nothing to talk about.

00:41:38 #138 You think I'm out of my mind.

00:41:40 #139 You left it me and my theory.

00:41:43 #140 You might be one of them.

00:41:45 #141 Ben, look, you're ill. You ought to see a doctor.

00:41:47 #142 No, doctors.

00:41:49 #143 You take care of your life. I'll take care of mine.

00:41:52 #144 Now get away from here.

00:41:54 #145 You understand? Get away from here!

00:41:56 #146 If you're looking for anybody but me, forget it.

00:43:17 #147 Are they all gone?

00:43:25 #148 Is there any hope from the latest report?

00:43:29 #149 But believe me, Morgan, we'll find an answer.

00:43:36 #150 When, Doctor, we need it right now. I need it.

00:43:39 #151 You're the only one who wasn't afraid to come here today.

00:43:43 #152 What's going to happen, Doctor Merce?

00:43:45 #153 Is everybody in the world going to die before someone finds the answer?

00:43:51 #154 I don't think so.

00:43:53 #155 I don't deny there's some strange evolutionary process going on,

00:43:59 #156 but mankind won't be destroyed.

00:44:01 #157 The fact that you and I are working here today is evidence of that.

00:44:07 #158 I called the doctor. I had to.

00:44:09 #159 I told you not to call anyone.

00:45:13 #160 Mom, she was blind. She couldn't see.

00:45:18 #161 She couldn't see.

00:45:20 #162 She kept reaching out her hands and groping.

00:45:36 #163 I saw a truck out there.

00:45:40 #164 Was that it?

00:45:41 #165 Was it?

00:45:42 #166 Did this truck just come in from Market Street?

00:46:42 #167 Sir, I don't know.

00:46:43 #168 That's my daughter.

00:47:06 #169 Mr. Alonso's daughters are in there, including my own.

00:47:09 #170 If I didn't, somebody can hear me.

00:57:47 #171 Answer me.

00:57:49 #172 For God's sake, answer me.

00:57:55 #173 This is K-OKW calling.

00:57:57 #174 K-O-K-W calling. Answer me.

00:58:01 #175 I'm excited to come back.

00:58:38 #176 It's going to be all right.

00:59:55 #177 Nobody's going to be all right.

01:00:00 #178 They're going to get better.

01:00:06 #179 We're going to have lots of happy times together.

01:00:10 #180 You'll see everything's going to be fine.

01:00:15 #181 If I was one of them, you know that they can't come out

01:02:48 #182 until sundown.

01:02:51 #183 Do you want to come with me or do you want to face them?

01:04:10 #184 Yes.

01:04:11 #185 Would you like a cup of coffee?

01:04:14 #186 Thank you.

01:04:28 #187 You seem very well organized here.

01:04:31 #188 Yeah.

01:04:34 #189 My name is Ruth Collins.

01:04:39 #190 I was married.

01:04:42 #191 I lost my husband.

01:04:47 #192 You are alone.

01:04:51 #193 You were married.

01:04:53 #194 Yes.

01:04:58 #195 My daughter.

01:05:21 #196 What are you doing?

01:05:22 #197 Stop, please!

01:05:31 #198 Why do you turn away?

01:05:41 #199 You are infected.

01:05:48 #200 Infected systems are allergic to garlic.

01:05:50 #201 You think I'm one of them.

01:05:52 #202 You will be.

01:05:53 #203 You've made up your mind just because I...

01:05:59 #204 You can't change the facts by talking.

01:06:02 #205 Facts.

01:06:03 #206 What facts?

01:06:05 #207 But I got sick.

01:06:07 #208 I've had a sensitive stomach all my life.

01:06:10 #209 I saw my husband killed, torn to pieces right in front of our house.

01:06:14 #210 I've been wandering ever since, hiding at night,

01:06:18 #211 not eating more than scraps.

01:06:20 #212 I'm sick with morning, sick with fear, unable to sleep.

01:06:27 #213 Then you shouted me.

01:06:29 #214 You chased me across the field, hit me, dragged me to this house,

01:06:33 #215 and to top it all when I get sick because you shove a piece of reeky garlic in my face.

01:06:38 #216 You tell me I'm infected.

01:06:42 #217 Where are you going? You can't go out there. It's almost sunset.

01:06:46 #218 You can't go out there now in a few minutes. The streets will be full of...

01:06:49 #219 I don't care. Let's go.

01:06:50 #220 I don't care!

01:06:51 #221 Please let me give you a blood pair.

01:06:53 #222 Don't touch me.

01:07:02 #223 You must be hungry. I'll get you some dinner.

01:07:14 #224 You should eat.

01:07:35 #225 I can't.

01:07:36 #226 You seem used to them.

01:07:53 #227 Toe as much as anybody could be.

01:07:56 #228 I'm not frightened of them anymore, if that's what you mean.

01:08:00 #229 Oh, I protect myself against them, but only because there's so many.

01:08:04 #230 Me.

01:08:05 #231 Individually, they're weak, mentally incompetent, like animals after a long famine.

01:08:11 #232 If they weren't, they surely would have found a way of breaking in here a long time ago.

01:08:22 #233 Hear that?

01:08:26 #234 He was my friend.

01:08:27 #235 Your friend?

01:08:28 #236 He was like a kid brother.

01:08:31 #237 If I could find him and destroy him.

01:08:35 #238 But you said he was your friend.

01:08:37 #239 When I find him, I'll drive a stake through him, just like all the others.

01:08:41 #240 But you lived through all this. Do you know why?

01:08:53 #241 Perhaps I was chosen.

01:08:54 #242 Or perhaps it's because a long time ago when I worked in Panama, I was bitten in my sleep by a bat.

01:09:06 #243 My theory is that the bat had previously acquired the vampire germ.

01:09:12 #244 By the time it entered my blood, it had been strained and weakened by the bat's system as a result.

01:09:18 #245 I have immunity. It's only a guess, but it's all I have to go on.

01:09:28 #246 You don't think that I'm immune, do you?

01:09:33 #247 It's a simple matter to find out whether you are or not.

01:09:44 #248 Well, you do. If I am infected, cure me.

01:09:51 #249 You don't have to answer. I know as well as you do. I think you're a bull.

01:09:58 #250 There might be a way.

01:10:00 #251 If not of killing the germ, at least of containing it, keeping it from spreading.

01:10:06 #252 If I had the equipment, the time...

01:10:10 #253 But you don't.

01:10:11 #254 One of that.

01:10:55 #255 I was.

01:10:57 #256 Without that injection, I'll be one again.

01:11:00 #257 What do you mean?

01:11:02 #258 You found the solution?

01:11:04 #259 That's right.

01:11:05 #260 Exactly as you said it could be.

01:11:08 #261 I take that for it.

01:11:10 #262 What is it?

01:11:15 #263 Deceberinated blood plus vaccine.

01:11:18 #264 The blood feeds the germ.

01:11:21 #265 The vaccine keeps it isolated

01:11:23 #266 and prevents it from multiplying.

01:11:26 #267 We've had it for some time now.

01:11:31 #268 We? We?

01:11:34 #269 There are quite a number of us.

01:11:37 #270 And I thought you were alone.

01:11:40 #271 I was going to kill you.

01:11:43 #272 Does that amuse you?

01:11:45 #273 No.

01:11:46 #274 Now.

01:11:49 #275 I want the truth.

01:11:51 #276 I want all of it.

01:11:53 #277 Why are you here?

01:11:55 #278 To find out if you know any more than we do.

01:11:57 #279 You know, far less.

01:11:59 #280 We're alive.

01:12:01 #281 Infected, yes, but alive.

01:12:03 #282 We're going to reorganize society.

01:12:06 #283 Do away with all those wretched creatures.

01:12:09 #284 creatures who are not alive but dead.

01:12:12 #285 So they're missing all over again.

01:12:16 #286 And you want me to join?

01:12:19 #287 You can't join us.

01:12:21 #288 You're a monster to them.

01:12:23 #289 Why do you think I ran when I saw you?

01:12:26 #290 Even though I was assigned a spy on you,

01:12:28 #291 because I was so terrified of what I'd heard about you.

01:12:32 #292 You're a legend in the city,

01:12:34 #293 moving by day instead of night,

01:12:37 #294 leaving as evidence of your existence bloodless corpses.

01:12:40 #295 Many of the people you destroyed were still alive.

01:12:44 #296 Many of them were loved ones of the people in my group.

01:12:48 #297 I didn't know.

01:12:51 #298 Is there any way you can get out of here?

01:12:53 #299 What do you mean?

01:12:54 #300 They're coming after you tonight.

01:12:58 #301 That's why I was sent here.

01:13:01 #302 To prevent you from resisting them.

01:13:03 #303 And supposed...

01:13:05 #304 To keep you here.

01:13:07 #305 Until they come.

01:13:10 #306 To kill me.

01:13:12 #307 Yes.

01:13:13 #308 Your new society sounds charming.

01:13:16 #309 The beginning of any society is never charming or gentle.

01:13:21 #310 And you pretended to be shocked at my vile.

01:13:25 #311 Well, what are you waiting for?

01:13:28 #312 Why don't you go on and use it? Get it over with! Use it! Get it over with!

01:13:43 #313 Now you know. What are you going...

01:13:48 #314 Are you doing?

01:15:35 #315 It's already done.

01:15:37 #316 What?

01:15:45 #317 Look.

01:15:46 #318 Look, see, it worked, Ruth.

01:16:06 #319 The antibodies in my blood worked.

01:16:10 #320 My blood has saved you, Ruth.

01:16:12 #321 Do you know what this means?

01:16:14 #322 You and I can save all the others.

01:16:17 #323 We won't be alone. We'll never be alone again.

01:16:21 #324 You're sure?

01:16:23 #325 Wait. Where are you going?

01:17:13 #326 I have to get out of here. Tell him I'm not a threat to him.

01:17:15 #327 You can't go out there. You won't get 10 feet.

01:17:17 #328 10 feet.

01:17:18 #329 When they come here, they won't be tired of it, Wilson Denendert.

01:17:21 #330 They'll come to kill.

01:17:22 #331 For God's sake, Robert, let me go.

01:17:26 #332 Look, tomorrow.

01:17:31 #333 Robert.

01:17:32 #334 Tomorrow, Ruth.

01:17:34 #335 Tomorrow will be all right.

01:17:35 #336 Robert, no.

01:18:02 #337 But if this doesn't last.

01:18:04 #338 I've already checked it under the microscope.

01:18:12 #339 I'll prove it to you.

01:18:13 #340 I'll check it again.

01:18:38 #341 Just take a look at this.

01:18:41 #342 This will prove it to you.

01:18:43 #343 Ruth, there's no change.

01:18:44 #344 I've double checked.

01:18:45 #345 I love it!
