:15:03
Have you got everybody here
who had anything to do with the body?
:15:05
Yeah. The fingerprint men,
photographers...
:15:08
patrolmen who found him and...
:15:09
- Nearly everybody.
- What do you mean, "nearly"?
:15:12
- There's Billy Hall. He...
- Get him.
:15:14
- Now?
- Yes, now. Right away.
:15:16
Sure, Doc. Call Billy Hall and have him
come down right away.
:15:18
- Now?
- Yeah, right now.
:15:20
- Thanks.
Will you have these people line up, please?
- Let's form a line, fellas.
:15:23
Shake it up here.
Dress a line here.
:15:26
- This is Dr. Reed of
the Government Health Service.
- This will only take a minute.
:15:29
As a precautionary measure,
we're going to inoculate all of you...
:15:31
so if you'll just take your coats off,
roll up your sleeves.
:15:34
Hurry it up, Paul.
They'll start asking questions.
:15:36
- Oh, Kleber, would you mind helping out?
- Okay, Doc.
:15:38
And, uh, thanks. That was a fine job.
You did just the right thing.
:15:41
- I appreciate it.
- Well, thank you, Doctor.
:15:44
- Give them each two c.c.'s.
- I fixed it to have him cremated.
:15:47
Swell. Help Kleber down at the end,
will you, Ben?
:15:49
- Start down at the other end.
- Here's the alcohol.
:15:51
All right. Let's get this
over with quickly, please.
:15:54
- Give me the first one, Paul.
- What's in them things, Doc?
:15:57
- Nothing. Just a little serum.
- Serum? For what?
:15:59
I told you...
a precautionary measure.
:16:01
- Precautionary, but for what?
- It's possible the dead man
may have had some disease...
:16:05
I don't have to take
one of those shots.
:16:08
I can quarantine you
for 10 days.
:16:12
Hold still or this is going to hurt.
:16:17
- Aside from isolated
cases in the past 20 years...
- I'll see you, Murph.
:16:19
There's been at least
one major outbreak.
:16:22
In November of 1924,
in Los Angeles, California...
:16:25
a woman died of what was thought
to be pneumonia.
:16:28
Thirty-two people had
had contact with her...
:16:30
and within four days, before the disease
could be correctly diagnosed and contained...
:16:34
twenty-six of them had died,
and they died suddenly, violently and horribly.
:16:38
The disease was finally found
to be pneumonic plague.
:16:42
Pneumonic plague is
the pulmonary form of bubonic...
:16:44
the black death
of the Middle Ages...
:16:46
- and its death incidence is practically 100%.
- Who'd you say he was?
:16:49
I'm Dr. Reed of the United States
Public Health Service...
:16:52
and one of the jobs of my department
is to keep plague out of this country.
:16:55
Sit down. Sit down.
Don't let me interrupt you.
:16:57
Speak to somebody about it, will you, please?
Come on, Mary.
