Shortly after that,
you'll have the makings of an epidemic.

:19:03
Commissioner, what's the use
of kidding ourselves?

:19:05
We can't turn up
an unknown killer in two days.

:19:07
He's absolutely right,
Mr. Mayor.

:19:09
The police department
can't be held responsible for this.

:19:12
Now, if you want to believe
the doctor here...

:19:14
I'm sorry, sir, but frankly,
I honestly don't...

:19:18
but if you want to believe him,
there's only one way to handle this.

:19:21
Give the story to the press.
You get on the radio...

:19:24
And have everybody who was
in contact with the dead man leave town?

:19:27
You can't give it to the press!
:19:29
I may be an alarmist.
I may be entirely wrong about the whole matter.

:19:32
But I've seen
this disease work...

:19:34
and I'm telling you if it ever gets loose
it can spread over the entire country...

:19:37
and the result will be more horrible
than any of you can imagine.

:19:40
And the key to the whole thing lies right here,
now, in the next 48 hours.

:19:47
You can take me at my word.
Whatever you like.

:19:52
What can we do?
:19:54
Find this man.
:19:56
Dan, put your best men on it.
:19:59
Yes, sir.
Tom, you work with the doctor.

:20:01
Anything else you need,
ask for it.

:20:04
- Mackey.
- Thank you.

:20:06
- We'll give him all the assistance possible.
- That's it, gentlemen.

:20:08
All right, Tom.
Make your arrangements with the doctor here.

:20:10
I'll be on call
waiting for a report.

:20:12
Take any emergency action
you feel necessary.

:20:27
Annapolis man?
:20:30
No. Why?
:20:33
No reason.
:20:39
- Hope I wasn't too rough.
- On me?

:20:43
- No.
- No, I meant the rest of'em.

:20:46
I still have a feeling
they don't believe me.

:20:48
I just know how serious
this can be.

:20:50
- I was trying to put it across to 'em.
- Mm-hmm.

:20:59
Now I'd start worrying
about what you're gonna do...
