Rabid (1977)

Post by bunniefuu »

[ Motorcycle passing ]

As far as I can see, these guys
are completely legit, Danny.

The bank has checked them out,

they're just as convinced
as I am,

and they're willing to go
all the way with us.

You know, the idea
of a franchised operation

for plastic surgery resorts
is a natural.

It's one of those magnificent,
inevitable ideas.

Banks are always quick
to say that

when everything's rolling easy.

But you take it from me,

the first signs of heat
from the Medical Association,

the first cries
of professional outrage,

the bank will call back its note

and leave us hanging
by our thumbs.

It's not the financing
that's bothering you, Dan.

Your voice has that edge to it.

I never denied it.

I just sure as hell don't want
to become the Colonel Sanders

of plastic surgery.

[ Chuckles ]
Why not?

Sounds great to me.

WOMAN: We passed it.

MAN: We didn't pass it.
I remember that farm.

WOMAN: We passed it.

That farm is past
concession road 12.

We were supposed to turn
on concession road 11.

I don't remember that farm, Dad.

We didn't pass it.

I very distinctly
remember that farm!

If you would just
stop this vehicle

long enough to look
at this map,

-I will show you...
-All right!

WOMAN: ...beyond a
shadow of a...

MAN: You are both right,
and I'm all wrong.

We'll turn around
and go all the way back.

-[ Engine sputtering ]
-g*dd*mn thing.

[ Engine sputtering ]

Shoulda never sold
the station wagon.

-Christ, Bob.
-Hm? Oh, Christ!

[ Tires screeching ]

[ Engine revving ]

[ Gasping ]

[ Screams ]

Lloyd!

Lloyd!

My God! I just saw a motorcycle
explode in that field!

[ Gasping ]

My God, I think there's someone
trapped under it.

I better tell the boys inside.

[ Phone beeping ]

MAN: Is Dr. Keloid there?
It's urgent.

Yeah, what is it, Steve?

STEVE: There's been
a motorcycle accident

a few minutes
down the highway.

Should I take the ambulance
and go get 'em?

Yeah, sure.

MAN: What am I supposed to do?

Go back to three of the largest
investment groups

in North America and say...

-Steve? Are you still there?
-STEVE: Yep.

Well, hang on a minute.
I'm comin' right with ya.

I'll meet you out front.

Now, Dan. We have a lot
of important decisions to make.

Well, you and Murray
work it out between you, hon.

Just make the pill easy
for me to swallow.

Well, don't look at me.
You married him.

Bob, get back!

Bob! Be careful, Bob!

Get him back!
Hold him back there!

Get the flasher on and let's go.

[ Siren wails ]

WOMAN: One of them's
under the bike.

There's another one over there.

[ Whispers ]
Oh, my God.

-[ Siren wailing ]
-How's her bleeding?

Heavy.

The man's got a broken hand,
separated shoulder, concussion.

We can send him to the General.

But it's definitely
major surgery for her,

and right now.

I know we're not,
but we've got no choice.

-How's her blood pressure?
-Steady.

I'd say she's got
a half an hour to live,

and it's three hours
to the nearest serious hospital.

Look, it's us or nobody.

[ Siren wailing ]

[ Indistinct chatter ]

It must be bad.

MAN: Come on, come on, come on!
Move! Move! Move it!

Oh, my God.

Get it-- get it up!

Come on, move it.
We don't want to lose her.

The guy in the van,

he's got a concussion,
separated shoulder, broken hand.

Maybe some Demerol
if he becomes lucid.

WOMAN: Okay, Dr. Keloid.

Okay, boys. Let's take her
right into pre-op.

Has Dr. Karl set her up
for the works?

NURSE: We're ready to go,
Doctor.

What's that all about?

Somebody said something
about an accident.

You'd think they could cover it
with a sheet or something.

I don't buy it, Dan.

You haven't seen her.

I don't have to see her.

Neutral field grafts
have never been used internally.

We could end up with a terminal
cancer patient on our hands.

Aw, come on.
We can monitor, Roxy.

She's got nothing to lose.
Literally.

[ Sighs ]

So, listen, when do I
get to see Rose?

NURSE: Not for a while.

Why not?

Oh, Jesus!

I didn't k*ll her, did I?

She's not dead.

[ Sighs ]

Now, I know everyone here
is familiar

with standard techniques
of skin grafting.

But what we're going to do
is a little out of the ordinary.

I'll explain as we go along.

We're removing full thickness
thigh material

from the patient's thighs,

as per normal graft
acquisition procedure.

However,

before applying the grafts
to the damaged areas

of the patient's breasts,
abdomen, and so on,

we're going to treat them

so that they become
morphogenetically neutral.

They will then be called
neutral field grafts.

[ Dermatome whirring ]

Well, when the thigh skin tissue
is treated,

it'll lose its specificity,

as both thigh tissue
and skin tissue.

For example,

if it were grafted
to a burned cheek,

it wouldn't just be thigh skin,

with the color and texture
of thigh skin,

it would actually
develop as facial tissue.

In other words,

neutral field tissue
has the same ability

to form any part
of the human body

that the tissue
of a human embryo has.

Let me add...

that there is always
a possibility

that carcinomas will form

when neutral field grafts
are used internally.

In this case,

we're using a radical
plastic surgery technique

to compensate for the lack
of heavy medical hardware.

MAN: Can we treat
graft material here,

Dr. Keloid?

KELOID: No, Dr. Karl,

the grafts will be frozen

and sent
to the Sperling Institute.

We'll have to keep the patient
at an operation-ready state

until they come back to us.

Now, I know this is going to be
trying for all of us,

but it can't be helped.

Her body is still in a state
of total shock.

We still can't move her
to a city hospital yet.

But her grafts are doing well.

We've been monitoring

the internal grafts
electronically,

and there's a definite sign
of new tissue growth happening

in the abdominal cavity.

Her helmet probably saved her
from severe brain damage,

but until she's
fully conscious...

You won't know that either.

KELOID: Well, Hart,
what can I tell ya?

There is no magic.

I have done my best.

Now, you're welcome
to come and visit Rose

any time you want.

Please, believe me,
I will personally telephone you

the instant Rose shows

the first signs
of regaining consciousness.

Jeez, when I saw them
bringing you in,

I never thought I'd be
standing here talking

to you a month later.

How's your hand?

Oh, it's okay, thanks. I think.

They're gonna take
the support off

later on this afternoon
at the General,

so that's when I'll find out.

But the pin stays in my shoulder
another month.

Doesn't seem to
bother me, though,

except when it gets damp.

LLOYD: Yeah. Last time
I got my ears done,

I could really feel it
when the weather changed.

It's probably something you're
just gonna have to live with.

HART: Yeah, I guess so.

-Hi, Lloyd.
-LLOYD: Hi.

-How ya doin'?
-Oh, not too bad.

Putting in for phase two, huh?

Yeah, a little eye tuck
this time.

-Looks terrific.
-Good.

Hey, let's get out of here.

I've got a pack of hungry
investors waiting for me.

-We'll see you.
-Okay, bye-bye.

[ Groans ]

I hope you've got somebody there
to help you unload that junk.

I've got a bad back, you know?

What are you going
to do with that?

Use it as an ashtray?
[ Chuckles ]

[ Flicks lighter ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Groaning ]

[ Glass breaking ]

-Rosie!
-[ Gasping ]

Rosie, sweetie, take it easy.

You need that juice, sweetie.
It's keeping you alive.

-That's a girl.
-What are-- what are you doing?

-Are we-- are we all right?
-I'm not Hart, Rosie.

Hart's back in Montreal
waiting for you.

I'm Lloyd.
I'm a friend of yours.

Hart?

Hart's back in Montreal
waiting for you.

Oh.

I guess--
I guess I was dreaming.

I don't think you were
just dreaming.

You and Hart were in a really
spectacular motorcycle crash.

-Crash?
-LLOYD: Yes.

You're bleeding right now.
I'd better get Dr. Keloid.

Oh, no, no, no, don't go.

I'm all right, really.

I'm freezing cold!

Ooh, you're so warm.

-Hey, look, I think I'd better--
-Oh, hold me.

Please.

-[ Sighs ]
-Mm.

I'm dying of the cold.

Oh, God, that feels so...

Uh, look, you don't even know
where you are, do you?

Oh, God.

Uh, look, this is really weird.

Uh, are you sure you know
what you're...

[ Groans ]

Uh, I think-- I think
I cut myself or something.

-[ Groans ]
-[ Moans ]

Is that a knife or something
in there with you?

-[ Groans ]
-[ Moans ]

[ Whimpering ]

[ Knock at door ]

Yes?

Who is it?

[ Screams ]

God, help me!

Help me!
[ Groans ]

[ Gasps ]

For heaven's sake,
what happened to you?

I don't know.
I can't remember anything.

[ Panting ]

Were you sleepwalking?

Did you fall
against something outside

and come in without waking up?

I doubt it.

It never happened to me before.

Get me some stuffing.

One or two sponges, as well.

This wound isn't
clotting at all.

I think we're going to have
to give him some coagulants

to get a scab to form.

Right away, Doctor.

Does that hurt?

I can't feel a thing.

You can't?

My whole right side
has no feeling in it.

Just this aching
kind of tingling.

-Dr. Keloid.
-Hm?

Maxim would like to see you.

Well, right now?

He said it was important.
He's waiting in the hall.

Okay.

Listen.

I think our friend here
may have suffered a stroke.

Now, the General's
the best place for him.

But before you plug him up,

I want you to draw ten ccs
of blood

directly from the wound
for tests.

Then Steve can drive him
into the city in the ambulance.

Make sure he takes along
a lot of plasma,

and forget the coagulants
until the General has a chance

to do an ECG on him.

Will do, Doctor.

Yes, Maxim, what's up?

You told me to check around
the grounds

to see if I could find out
how Mr. Walsh was hurt.

But I could find
nothing outside,

no blood, nothing.

Then Nurse Rita called.

[ Knocks on door ]

Watch what you touch, Doctor.

The police may want
to examine the room

exactly the way we found it.

Why the police?

Well, that Mr. Walsh fellow
tried to molest her

while she was still in a coma.

I've seen things like that
happen before.

Maybe he was drunk.

The grafts are healing
amazingly well.

Judy Glasberg?
You back again?

Daddy didn't think the new nose
was different enough,

so I'm back
for more alterations.

I keep on saying to him
it looks exactly like his,

and he keeps on saying,

''That's why I want you
to change it.''

What's this?

I'm terrified to find out
what it really means.

[ Heavy rainfall ]

[ Cow grunting ]

[ Vomits ]

All right, you hold it
right there.

Ah!
[ Chuckles ]

Well, what have we got there?

Hello, sweet honey pie.

What're ya drinkin'?

You come in to get out
of the cold?

[ Chuckles ]

I got something you
can drink off of,

and it ain't no whisky neither.

[ Chuckles ]

Honey pie.

[ Chuckles ]

Oh, you've got blood
on your mouth.

Yeah. You like me, huh?

-[ Gasps ]
-I can tell you do. Huh?

[ Chuckles ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming ]

Little flower

Benihana

What a turn on

When you call my name

When we make love

In the darkness

Every night

And you whisper

That I feel like

A flower

'Cause I'm, oh, so smooth

[ Heavy rainfall ]

Having you fills my life

Night time passes on by

Every time that we're close

Our loving gets better

Better and better

Yeah

-Better, better
-Better and better

[ Phone ringing ]

-[ Gasps ]
-[ Ringing tone ]

Come on.

[ Shivering ]

[ Gasps ]
Hurry.

Oh, honey

It feels so good

Benihana

Hey, Lloyd, where you going?
You can't leave yet.

I mean, they don't even know

why you're bleeding
all over the place.

Ah, it's slowed down
to a trickle.

No problem.

No problem, huh?
How's the arm?

It's fine.

MAN: All right.

If the night nurse comes around,

I'll-- I'll tell her
you're in the can, eh?

How's that?

Terrific.

Take care of yourself.

Yeah. You too.

Take me to Camelford.

I'll tell you
where to go from there.

Oh!

[ Sighs ]

I thought everyone was asleep.

Do you mind
if I get in with you?

I've been lying in bed
for so long.

My body aches all over.

I'm so glad I ran into you.

Uh, well, I think I'd better be
getting out, now.

[ Sighs ]
I'm getting all wrinkly.

Oh, no. Not yet. You haven't
even told me your name.

Judy Glasberg.

[ Screaming ]

[ Screaming and gasping ]

[ Gurgling ]

[ Screaming and gasping ]

[ Softly moaning ]

So I says to the guy
he shouldn't let his wife

push him around like that.

Mister, you okay?

You look a bit sick.

Want me to pull over
to the side of the road?

-[ Snarling ]
-[ Screams ]

[ Tires screeching ]

-[ Snarling ]
-[ Screams ]

[ Phone ringing ]

-Hello?
-ROSE: Oh, Hart.

Listen, I'm in terrible trouble.

You gotta help me.

HART:
Rose. Is that really you?

Where are ya?
Are you all right?

Hart--
Hart, can you hear me?

HART: Yes, I can hear you.

Listen, you gotta come quick,
you gotta come quick and get me.

-RITA: Rose.
-HART: Rose?

Tell me what's wrong.

-You all right, dear?
-HART: Rose, what's wrong?

Come on.

[ Click ]

What the hell was the number
of that place, anyhow?

[ Knock at door ]

Doctor, I think you better
come with me.

I think, uh...

I'd like to talk to her
alone first.

Okay.

-Rose, I'm Dr. Keloid.
-[ Sniffling ]

Dan Keloid.

I'm here to help you,
sweetheart.

Oh, Doctor!
[ Sobs ]

There, there. It's all right.

[ Sniffling ]

Rose, I promise you
we won't talk about anything

except how you're feeling, okay?

Good.

First thing I want to do is
check out the skin grafts

we did for you.

[ Sobbing ]
Oh, no.

Well, what's the matter, Rose?
Are you in pain?

Talk to me.

It's the only way I have
of understanding

what's bothering you.

I'm hideous, Doctor.

I'm crazy, and I'm a monster.
[ Sobs ]

Now, come on, Rose.

There's just about nothing
we can't fix

if we know what's wrong.

Now, don't play any more games
and do as I tell you.

That's enough, huh?
Okay, there.

There.
[ Yawns ]

Oh! Look at Potato Man.

See how Potato Man
loves Ketchup Man?

[ Telephone rings ]

-Do you believe that?
-[ Ringing continues ]

Excuse me.

[ Sighs ]

Hello, who's this?
What do you want?

Do you know what time it is?

Listen, Murray,

I hate like hell to bother you
at a time like this,

but I'm going out of my skull.

Well, that's all right,

I-- I was up
with the baby anyhow.

What's-- what's the matter?

I just got a phone call
from the clinic.

MURRAY: Yeah?

-From Rose.
-MURRAY: Who?

From Rose!

She's supposed to be in a coma,
for God's sake.

She said she was in trouble.
She wants me to help her.

She wants me to come up there
right now and get her!

Look, Hart, she's probably
just frightened and confused.

Did you call-- did you call
Danny back at the clinic?

I got a tape recorder.

[ Sighs ]

I left a message.

[ Sighs ]
Okay.

Okay, I'll tell you
what I'll do. I'll, uh...

I'll call Danny on his
private line right now,

and I'll tell him that Rosie's
up making phone calls

in the middle of the night,
okay?

Look, I'll pick you up
in about an hour,

and I'll drive you
over to the clinic.

-MURRAY: How's that grab you?
-Okay, Murray.

-Thanks a hell of a lot.
-MURRAY: Yeah.

MURRAY:
You bet. See you soon.

[ Click ]

Does that hurt?

[ Sniffles ]
No, it doesn't hurt.

How long have you
been conscious, Rose?

Do you know?

A couple of days.

KELOID: Do you feel weak?

I feel strong.

I feel very strong.

KELOID: Rita tells me you
wouldn't let her attach you

to your intravenous
nutrient bottles.

Why?

I don't need them.

They make me feel sick.

KELOID: I don't understand.

They've got to be
your only source of food.

They're not.

They haven't been
for a couple of days.

-Not since that man.
-KELOID: Man?

What are you talking about?

ROSE: I'll show you.

[ Screams ]

[ Whimpers ]

-Half a barbecue chicken to go.
-Yes, sir.

Half a barbecue chicken to go.

And, uh, will that be all?

Oh. Mister?

Did you know you're bleeding?

Ah, it's nothing.

Must've had a
rough night, buddy.

Ah, I can't remember too good.

Here's your order, Sam.

I think that one's mine, buddy.

I said I think that one's mine.

I've gotta eat!
I've gotta eat!

Look, I don't hit
nobody with glasses.

[ Snarling ]

Now, calm down.

-[ Snarls ]
-Hey!

[ Screams ]

You're sure you want
to do this one, Dan?

Louise and I could handle it,
no trouble.

I'll-- I'll be fine.

You were pretty groggy
this morning.

Cut yourself shaving?

No, I'll be fine.
I'll be fine.

KELOID: Scalpel.

Sponge.

...inside an empty bourbon

We're going down

You're down in the town

To have a good time
and drink your sweet wine

Here I come
with a bellyful of rocks

Put you right up inside
an empty bourbon

Wanna keep that thing
all the way...

Do you want me to complete
the stitching, Dr. Keloid?

I need something to cut with,
Dr. Rushton.

You want the scissors now,
Doctor?

Yes. Scissors, now.

Scissors.

-[ Grunts ]
-Dan!

-[ Screams ]
-[ Snarling ]

KARL: Stop it!

-Oh!
-[ Screaming ]

KARL: Are you crazy
or something? Stop it!

-[ Snarling ]
-[ Screaming ]

-[ Screaming ]
-[ Metal crashing ]

Rita! Rita, he's gone crazy,
he's gone crazy!

-He's k*lling everyone.
-What?

Come with me!
We've gotta do something!

Wait! Calm down.

-Come with me!
-Who? Louise?

MAN ON TV: Would you like
to have him be a policeman

and arrest you?

Have him be a doctor
and examine you?

Or have him be a lawyer
and defend you?

Those are your choices.
Claire?

[ Gasping ]

[ Sighs ]
Oh.

MAN ON RADIO: The man,
now identified as 43-year-old

Fred Atkins of Camelford,

went berserk this morning
during an argument

over who was to be served first

and bit the counter girl
on the arm.

The man was subdued
by an unidentified truck driver

and the truck stop
diner's cook,

but died of unknown causes
before police arrived.

Local health
authorities suspect

that rabies might be involved

and have vaccinated
everyone concerned.

Now, after this brief pause
for station identification--

This must be the place
they were talking about

on the radio.

Huh? Wanna go in for a bite?

[ Chuckles ]

No, no thanks.

-What's going on over there?
-Where?

The place is crawling
with police.

Hey, you're right.

-Oh, Christ, no.
-What's the matter?

It's Rose. It's gotta be.
Something's happened to Rose.

Oh, Hart, take it easy.

They wouldn't have
all these cars just for that.

It must be something else.

Okay, Murray,
come on, come on.

Take it easy, will ya, Hart?

[ Door ajar alarm buzzing ]

[ Car door closing ]

Bill! Bill, what's going on
around here?

-And where's Dr. Keloid?
-Murray, thank God you're here.

It's been a nightmare.

I'm trying to
find my girlfriend.

Uh, she's a patient here.

She was here last night,

but now nobody seems to know
where she is.

We've got a young girl
downstairs.

You wanna take a look at her?

Is her name Rose?

We don't know.
We didn't ask her.

Come on.

Uh, tell the chief I'm
downstairs gettin' an ID.

Be back in a flash.

[ Siren wails outside ]

So you are Dr. Keloid's
business partner?

Yeah, that's right, I am. Now--

Come with me, please.
Excuse me.

-Bill?
-No, you go, Murray.

I-- I can't. I've seen it.

OFFICER: Mr. Cypher, please.

Couple of my men got bitten.
Those rabies shots are K*llers.

Think I'd rather take my chances
on getting sick instead.

How is he, doc?

Say, you say-- you say he
got bitten. Bitten by what?

-By that.
-What?

Go ahead, take a look.

-Oh, God!
-[ Snarling ]

OFFICER: Can you confirm
the identification of this man

as Dr. Daniel Keloid?

[ Snarling continues ]

Come here. Can't see anything
from there.

HART: Oh.

-[ Sighs ]
-Is that Rose?

No, no, it's not Rose.

Hey, Rose, want a bite?

Steak on a bun.

It's real good.

Mm. I wouldn't mind
just one bite.

You sure?

Mmm, it's fabulous.

That's okay.

It's the last time

I'm going to eat
at that greasy spoon,

I'll tell you that.

That's it, come on.
Get it all out.

-[ Retching ]
-Okay?

All right.

Just put your arm around me,
and I'll lift you up

back into the cabin.

We'll get some soup or something
at the next stop, all right?

Watch out.

Is something wrong?

Hey, buddy.

What?

Oh, I, uh...

Oh, jeez, I must have dozed off.

I, uh... I was driving.

Jeez.

Well, it's good.

We find too many
of you guys taking pills

to keep yourselves
going all day and all night.

-Thanks.
-Next time, though, uh...

try and pick a better spot
to pull over,

This road's kind of narrow.

Yeah, thanks. I will.
Sorry.

Yeah, okay.
Have a nice day.

-Hi.
-Hi. Where are you going?

-Montreal. Where are you going?
-Same place.

Great.

Whoo!

Oh!

You know, I was beginning
to think I'd never

get home again.

[ Police radio chatter ]

Claude Lapointe,
Quebec Bureau of Health,

official business.

-What's up?
-Sorry, officer.

You can't go in
unless you're willing to stay.

The whole station's
under quarantine.

We think we've got an epidemic.

Hello, Mindy?

I want you to blow
in this thing.

-Yeah. How are you?
-The two of you.

-The light's gonna be red here.
-Good.

Listen, uh...

I thought that Rose might try
and get in touch with ya.

Yeah. She what?
She called you?

-Okay, blow.
-She's on her way over?

-No, I feel fine. Honest.
-That's incredible.

You gotta blow in this thing.
Will ya?

Ah! That's silly.

Oh, you wouldn't believe
what's happening here.

Just blow.

-Come on!
-It's crazy time.

-Yeah.
-Listen, you gotta blow in it.

You ain't walking out of here
till you blow in this thing.

Well, listen.

-When she gets there...
-All right.

Blow!

...tell her I'm going
to be stuck

in a Camelford cop shop

for at least 48 hours.

But look, when she gets there,
you keep her there for me, okay?

Okay.

Okay, Mindy. Ciao.

That's his truck, all right.

Hey, you seen Smooth Eddy?

He's got the lead truck,

and I can't find
the son of a b*tch.

Think I seen him in back before.
He didn't look too good.

Whaddya mean,
he didn't look too good?

Smooth Eddy always looks good.

He looks sick.
You know, nauseous.

Aw, what the f*ck

You can't trust 'em.

MAN ON TV: The health officials
have said they consider

the outbreak of the new strain
of rabies

as being potentially
the worst of this century.

At the police station
in Camelford,

Kathy Draper talked to

Quebec Bureau of Health
official

Claude Lapointe.

This is not just a question
of swine flu

or something like that.

We have already several deaths
on our hands

in this one small area alone,

and the main problem is...

we don't know
what we're up against.

Are you saying this is not
an outbreak of rabies?

I'm not saying that.
I'm not saying that, exactly.

But it must be
a new strain of rabies,

because there are
symptoms involved which we,

and even the world
health community,

do not seem to be
familiar with.

What are these symptoms?

Well, the period of incubation
of this disease is very brief,

maybe six, eight hours
at the most.

Now, that's quick, much quicker
than normal rabies.

Then, the-- the victim, uh...
begins to sweat,

to shake, to foam at the mouth.

That's not so rare.

What is rare is that
the victim always,

with this new disease,

uh, becomes violent
and wants to bite somebody new.

Uh... and this crazy phase
is followed by a coma

and then, in every case
we know, by death.

It's strange,
very, very strange.

What advice do you have
for our viewers?

The disease spreads through
the saliva of the victim.

The saliva is very contagious.

It dribbles into open wounds
and cuts and--

and causes immediate infection.

-So?
-So don't let anybody bite you.

And if somebody does,
find a doctor

who can give you rabies shots
immediately.

[ Knock at door ]

DRAPER: I heard you mention
the Black Plague of London

just before we went on the air.

Is that what you mean?

LAPOINTE: We sometimes
like to be dramatic

about these things.

Surprise.
I'm amongst the living.

Oh! Come in!

Oh.

LAPOINTE: And we
get excited...

You got anything in there
I might wanna read?

[ Sighs ]

I'm starting to go stir crazy
already.

Yeah, this is actually
pretty exciting stuff

once you know
how to interpret it.

Really.

Whew. Ugh. I can't see straight
any more.

I think I'm going
on automatic pilot.

Oh, boy.

I just can't believe
they're all dead.

[ Glass breaking ]

George, for God's sakes!

Can't you understand
what I'm saying?

Stand back!

Sit on the floor
and put your hands

on your head.

Get in the cell.
Do what I tell ya.

[ Groaning ]

Give me room, I'm coming in.
Quick!

[ Growling ]

[ g*nshots ]

They gave him rabies shots.

He got bitten up
at that facelift place,

and he was the first one
to get the shots.

They didn't do him any
damn good, did they?

Where are you going?

Oh, I think I have to go out
for a while.

Oh, Rosie, I feel so stupid.

I haven't been much
of a hostess.

Why-- why don't you
stay here?

There must be something
in the fridge

I can tempt you with.

No, Mindy, thanks,
but it's not that.

I just have to get out
into the fresh air again.

It's a real experience for me
just to walk down the street.

Oh, well, then, let me
come with you.

No, no, no.

You stay here
and finish your laundry,

and I won't be gone too long.

Okay, Rosie.

Uh, well, if you get dizzy
or anything, call me.

Okay, I will, don't worry.

Yeah, bye.

WOMAN IN FILM:
It was beautiful.

MAN IN FILM: Yes.

WOMAN IN FILM:
My first experience

was... like a bad trip.

It was such a let-down.

MAN IN FILM: That happens
to a lot of young girls.

WOMAN IN FILM:
I take love seriously,

you know.

MAN IN FILM:
So I see.

WOMAN IN FILM:
Thanks to you, I'm free.

My dream's reality.

And reality's like a dream.

You're so good
to be with usually.

I wish it could last forever.

-MAN IN FILM: Wake up!
-[ Woman yawns ]

WOMAN IN FILM: I must be
dreaming again.

I don't want to wake up.

MAN IN FILM:
But you're not dreaming.

Look at that.

WOMAN IN FILM: Mmm.

Excuse me.
I didn't mean to touch you.

WOMAN IN FILM: No.

MAN IN FILM:
Have you anyone to call?

WOMAN IN FILM: I think I have.
Why? You want me to leave?

-MAN IN FILM: No.
-Well, pardon me for existing.

I thought you did it on purpose.

WOMAN IN FILM: Why not?

No, really.

I was just taking my coat off,
and it brushed against you.

I'm sorry.

I really like
seeing these movies,

but men always bother me.

Guess I'm a little paranoid.

Well, look,

if I was to come over there
and sit next to you,

everybody will think
we're together,

and you can watch it in peace.

All I ask is a couple
of handfuls of popcorn.

WOMAN IN FILM:
I'm glad my father's

got an apartment
in this building.

Okay. Come on.

WOMAN IN FILM:
The sauna's so relaxing.

Like making love
three times in a row.

WOMAN IN FILM 2:
Oh, my, my.

WOMAN IN FILM:
You're so predictable!

WOMAN IN FILM:
My poor Christine.

CHRISTINE:
Oh, but such words.

WOMAN IN FILM 2:
You're afraid of words?

CHRISTINE: They're shocking,
that's all.

WOMAN IN FILM 2:
Even after the party?

-[ Christine laughs ]
-Well!

See you in a minute.
Be right with you.

MAN IN FILM: Do you think we
could spend some time together?

You see. Something
to do with you.

WOMAN IN FILM: You mean it?
May I?

MAN IN FILM: It's up to you.

WOMAN IN FILM:
I'd like to very much.

MAN: That's perfect.
I invite a drink tonight.

WOMAN IN FILM: It's just that
I'm busy here till rather late.

Till after eight.

MAN IN FILM:
That will be fine.

WOMAN IN FILM:
About 8:30.

-MAN IN FILM: Au revoir.
-WOMAN IN FILM: Au revoir.

WOMAN IN FILM: If only we
were somewhere else.

MAN IN FILM:
Elsewhere, I know.

WOMAN IN FILM:
Dreaming, listening.

Sharing the silence.

MAN IN FILM:
I like the way you talk.

WOMAN IN FILM:
It's my golden vision.

It's not appreciated.

MAN IN FILM:
It appeals to me.

WOMAN IN FILM:
It's true that I'm naive,

but that's the way I am,
that's all.

MAN IN FILM:
I saw this girl I know, yeah?

WOMAN IN FILM: I feel as if
I've never seen it before.

CHRISTINE: Well, if I decide
to have my sexual relations

before I marry Eric,

I'll do the same
as you, Judith.

It's logical.

JUDITH: We're told to live
with hypocrisy.

We can't applaud truth

and not notice that we are
what we are,

only to despise the truth.

Well, after all that,
what are we looking for?

CHRISTINE: A good question.

JUDITH: Happiness.
Just in our own way.

[ Groaning ]

[ Knocks on door ]

I'm going, Rosie.

I've left you some coffee
on the stove.

Turn it off if you go out, okay?

[ Shivers ]
Okay. Bye.

Are-- aren't you
gonna wish me luck?

Are you okay?

[ Gasping ]
Brushing my teeth.

Uh, bye.

- ROSE: Good luck.
-Thanks.

-MINDY: See you later!
-[ Groaning ]

[ Whistle blows ]

[ Snarls ]

[ Screaming ]

Uh, you'll pardon me,
Mr. McLaren,

but I think the mayor
should be taking this epidemic

more seriously than he is.

The city is a complex machine,
Mr. Lapointe.

It needs constant attention.

The mayor will listen to you,
but you're not the only one.

It takes time.

Clark, why are we stopping?

CLARK: I am sorry, sir,
but there's no way

I can get around this truck.

Isn't there anybody around?
Shall we have to turn around?

Oh, here's somebody, sir.

Clark, roll down your window

and ask them why
the road's blocked.

Uh, it might be strike trouble.

-MCLAREN: Be careful.
-CLARK: Yes, sir.

LAPOINTE:
They've got the disease.

Look! Their eyes!

[ Screams ]

[ Screaming ]

MAN ON TV: We spoke
with the director

of the
World Health Organization,

who had just arrived
from England

to take charge of liaison

with health bureaus
in Western European countries.

Dr. Gentry, do you honestly feel

that this is a time
for martial law?

I don't think there is
any question

that martial law is needed

in the city of Montreal
at this point in time.

It's a necessity.

It has already been established

that the victims
of the disease--

and it is not rabies,

though it may be related
to the rabies virus--

that the victims of the disease
are beyond medical help,

once it has established itself
to the degree

of inducing violent behavior.

What you're saying, then, sir,

that is if these people have
contracted the disease,

that there isn't...

What I am saying is very simple,

and it may not be very palatable
for your viewers.

sh**ting down the victims
is as good a way

of handling them
as we have got.

If we lock them up,

they eventually go into a coma
and die shortly afterwards.

We have got a vaccine

that we think will work
in a preventative way,

but for those that are already
incubating the disease...

-Come on, Murray.
-I'm coming.

Rose is waiting for me.

Well, don't get pushy.
We're going.

Dr. Gentry,
these are very serious...

-Bye-bye, Murray.
-I'll see ya.

All those receiving shots
of the new vaccine

are being issued
these plastic identity cards.

Viewers are urged
not to leave their homes

unless absolutely necessary,

and are reminded
that if they do,

they must carry their
vaccine cards with them.

Police, army,
and militia officers

may demand to see them.

You got the keys?

Oh.

Remember to keep
your windows up

and your doors locked
once you get into the city.

Maybe the bug can't get you now,

but that shot won't protect you
from the crazies.

-Take care.
-Thanks a lot.

-All right, take care.
-Okay.

You got enough room.

-All right there?
-Yeah.

[ Engine starting ]

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Sighs ]

Hi.

Mind if I sit down?

I don't mind.

Sure is nice, eh, Christmas?

Uh, do you smoke?

Cigarettes?

-Huh?
-Do you want a cigarette?

Oh, have you got a light?

A lighter?

Oh! I'll get a light
from that guy over there, okay?

I'll be right back.

You got a light, buddy?

[ Growls ]

[ Screams ]

OFFICER: Stop!
Stop or I'll sh**t!

Stop! Stop him.

Get out of the way!

Stop!

-[ g*nf*re ]
-[ Groaning ]

[ Screaming ]

[ Groans ]

[ Screaming ]

Christ.

Rose? Are you home?

Well, you'll never guess
what happened to me

on the subway today.

Well, the whole city's
gone crazy.

[ Gasping ]

Aww.

Have you been out?

Have you gotten your shot?

Oh...

I can't go out.

I can't go out.
[ Sobs ]

-What's been going on?
-Oh!

What's the matter with you?

-You poor kid.
-[ Sobs ]

Well, don't you worry.

I'm here, and I'm
gonna take care of you.

MAN ON RADIO: And the crisis
has now been officially granted

epidemic status by officials of
the World Health Organization.

The Prime Minister
was reluctant

to officially declare
a state of emergency,

but, as any citizen
in the streets can tell you,

martial law has
come to Montreal.

[ People chattering ]

[ Baby crying ]

Okay, fine.

I'm sorry you don't have an...
Where's your ID card?

Uh, would you mind standing
over in front, please?

-Can I get through?
-Thanks.

...an emergency and you've
got to attend, or...

Right at the back.
It's only three minutes.

It'll be all over
before you know it.

Get the shot, okay?
Thank you very much.

-At the back.
-WOMAN: Thank you.

Sorry. You don't have
an ID card,

you can't go through there.

Would you mind standing
over that way, please?

Uh, get that guy.

I'm sorry, sir,
you can't get through.

I'm sorry, sir...

Leave him alone.
Don't push him.

-You don't have a card. Now...
-You've got no right to do that.

Uh... How long are we
gonna be stuck here?

I can't believe this.

It's like we're at w*r.

Listen, Hart.

I want to go to my place first.

I just won't be comfortable

till I know everything
is okay back there.

Now, when we get there, I'll
give you the keys to the car,

and you can pick up your girl,
okay?

Yeah, okay.

[ Siren wails ]

Listen, uh, phone me
when you get there, eh?

Yeah, okay.

Hey.

Look, uh, maybe it would be
a good idea if you--

if you bring Rosie back
with you.

You know, just till this thing
blows over.

Yeah, okay.

-Listen, Murray.
-Yeah?

Thanks for the car, all right?

Keep the windows shut
and lock the door.

-All right.
-I'll see you soon.

I'll call ya.

'Cile?

Hey, Cecile, I'm home.

Honey?

Sweetie, I'm home.

[ Sighs ]

Hey, Cecile?

Hey, sweetie.

Honey?

'Cile?

Sweetie?

Sweetie, I'm home.

[ Rattling sounds ]

'Cile?

Honey?

[ Gasps ]

Oh, God.

[ Sobs ]

Oh...

[ Woman whimpering ]

[ Screeches ]

Get off me!

That's it, Rosie.

You just get as much sleep
as you need.

Don't think about anything.

Just let your mind drift.

GENTRY ON TV: So after using
some rather elaborate

tracking procedures,

and applying them to a map,

we find that the disease
does in fact seem to have

a very specific
place of origin.

INTERVIEWER: Which is?

GENTRY: Which is...

the Keloid Clinic
of Cosmetic Surgery,

a few miles outside
the town of Camelford.

You can see
with your own eyes

how everything has
spread out from there

in geometrically
increasing proportions.

Now, this pattern,

in conjunction with
some of our own statistics,

indicates that there is
a strong possibility

there is a special factor
at work

in the spread of the disease.

INTERVIEWER:
You mean a carrier?

GENTRY: Well, at the risk
of setting off

a futile witch hunt, yes.

Someone like
the infamous Typhoid Mary,

who incubates the disease
and transmits it,

but is herself immune to it.

INTERVIEWER: Well,
what were they doing

at the Keloid Clinic, then,
Dr. Gentry?

[ Tires screech ]

[ Snarling ]

-[ g*nsh*t ]
-[ Groans ]

[ g*nsh*t ]

Okay, Jack, that's another.

Oh, no! Rose!

Well, you-- you can't!
It's dangerous out there!

Mindy, I don't want it
to be you.

Well, of-- of course
it should be me.

But-- who else
but your best friend?

I'll take care of you.

Oh, I ache all over.

I hurt from the inside out.

Well-- well, then--
then, what you need is--

is a nice, hot bath.

It'll relax you and--

and then you won't ache
anymore.

Mm.

[ Sirens wailing ]

[ Gasps ]

It's not my fault.

It's you.

It's been you all along.

What are you talking about?

You carry the plague.

You've k*lled hundreds
of people!

You don't know
what you're talking about!

I'm still me.

I'm still Rose.

You're still Rose?
You're not Rose!

What did they do to ya
at that clinic, eh?

Ah!

-What did they turn you into?
-[ Whimpering ]

I have to have blood.

It's all I can eat.

And it's not my fault.

[ Screaming ]
It's your fault!

It's all your fault!

Rose, stop!

[ Screams ]
God!

[ Screams ]

Oh, Rose...

[ Sobs ]

Rose, there must be
a way to fix this.

Look, we'll go to the police.

No.

Rose.
We'll go to the hospital.

Oh, it won't work.
Now, just leave me alone!

-Rose! Come here.
-No!

-I'm sorry! Come here, wait!
-Let me go!

-Rose!
-Let me go!

No, no!

Listen, Rose. Listen.
Listen. Listen to me.

-Listen to me, you're right.
-No.

You're right.
We're in it together.

-We'll figure it out together.
-Ah!

[ Siren wails ]

Oh...

Hi.

I've seen you
around here before, haven't I?

Um, I used to live
in this building,

and, uh, they still deliver
my mail here.

I'm a-- a friend
of Mindy Kent's.

I was supposed
to meet her here,

but, um, she must have
gone out.

[ Telephone rings ]

[ Sighs ]

[ Panting ]

-Hello?
-ROSE: Hart.

It's me.

Oh, I'm so glad I finally
managed to get you.

Rose, where are ya?

Are you all right?

Did I hurt you?

Listen, we should be together.
Please, tell me where you are.

Well, what you said hurt me.

It scared me.

It-- it scared me because I--

I suddenly realized
you might be right.

If you are right
about my being a carrier,

I mean, uh...

I m*rder*d Mindy.

I m*rder*d a lot of people.

Rose.

There's no reason--

So I decided
to try a little experiment,

just to prove that you
were wrong about all that.

You see? I'm being positive,
aren't I?

So I found myself a partner
for my little experiment,

a real normal, healthy guy,

and I took some blood,
just a bit.

And I've locked myself
in a room with him.

And I'm gonna stay here until I
make sure he doesn't get sick.

And then I'll know...

I'm not the one
who started it all.

Rose, look.

You gotta get out of there.
Right away.

You're committing suicide.
You know that?

Listen, can't we just
be together over the phone?

I mean, just for a little while.
Just--

just until I find out.

I mean, we can be together
on the phone

just for a while, can't we?

[ Sobs ]

[ Sighs ]

Oh, Hart.
Please. Listen.

Please, no.

Rose, get out of there!

Look, just get up
and drop the phone

and walk out the door

and run out of there
as fast as you can.

You're not giving us
enough time.

You're not giving
either of us--

Oh, Hart. No, don't.

-Listen. I can't. Hart.
-Rose... [ Sobbing ]

Hart...

[ Sobbing ]
Rose!

-Hart?
-Rose, get out of there!

-I'm afraid!
-Get out of there!

Hart...

No! No!

No!
