By 9 00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:54.280 these programs, Shenley Laboratories would remind you that medical science 10 00:00:54.320 --> 00:00:57.880 and progress is not cold in personal research or pages 11 00:00:57.880 --> 00:01:02.759 of statistics, but of human story told in living turns, 12 00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:06.280 whether it's the life of one of medicine's immortals or 13 00:01:06.280 --> 00:01:10.239 the simple everyday record of service rendered by your family physician. 14 00:01:20.319 --> 00:01:37.519 Now Ronald Coleman brings you the story of Yellowjack, Cuba. 15 00:01:38.359 --> 00:01:43.480 Late July nineteen hundred. The land was rich and mellow. 16 00:01:44.120 --> 00:01:47.959 It shimmered radiantly in the hot sunlight. The land was 17 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:51.439 a verdant eden, gaudy with color, with everything ripe to 18 00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.079 the tongue and the touch. The land was a thing 19 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:59.400 of gentle hills, kneeling around quiet valleys and dense jungles. 20 00:02:00.280 --> 00:02:03.079 It was cliffs and bluffs that bent down to see 21 00:02:03.120 --> 00:02:06.680 who was coming. In the harbors, the land was beeches 22 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:10.560 and banks, and the blue water curled its white toes 23 00:02:10.599 --> 00:02:16.520 on the beeches, coveting the land water the transparent aqua 24 00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:23.000 home of the eel, the shark, the manatee. Cuba Late 25 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:27.599 July Paradise and Paradox, where the monkey was king of 26 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:32.360 the jungle, and the tortoise subjects where beauty walked in 27 00:02:32.479 --> 00:02:40.039 Seltry's splendor, dripping venomed honey Cuba, where man was an 28 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:46.479 inconsequential thing measured against the mosquito. Those American doctors and 29 00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:50.439 scientists didn't know they were pitting themselves against the mosquito 30 00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.439 at first, although they had a name for their enemy, 31 00:02:53.719 --> 00:02:56.439 and the name was yellow Jack. 32 00:02:57.120 --> 00:02:57.400 And the. 33 00:03:01.680 --> 00:03:07.479 Heroes are men from humble towns with humble names like O'Hara, McLellan, 34 00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:13.400 Brinkahaff Finley. There's usually nothing to distinguish them, nothing but 35 00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:16.400 that inner fire that manifests itself in the quickness of 36 00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:20.360 their hands and the brightness of their eyes. Their names 37 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:24.479 are names like Lazir and Carol and Agramanty and Reid, 38 00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:27.039 and their names are. 39 00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:29.759 Legion Major Reid. There is a message here from General 40 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.159 Woods Headquarters. What is it, Agramaty, the Army death list 41 00:03:33.439 --> 00:03:34.159 brought up to date? 42 00:03:34.240 --> 00:03:38.400 Sir, thank you Agrammaty. I can't stand much more of this. 43 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:40.960 I look out there over the sea and I watch 44 00:03:40.960 --> 00:03:43.639 our transports steaming home, and I don't even dare think 45 00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:47.080 what they may be carrying home. We've taken Cuba with 46 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.280 his awful things smoldering in it, waiting for fresh American fuel, 47 00:03:50.719 --> 00:03:53.240 waiting for its chance to jump over home to Philadelphia, 48 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:53.960 New Orleans. 49 00:03:54.000 --> 00:03:56.120 It is not an agreeable condition from my point of 50 00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:56.560 view either. 51 00:03:56.680 --> 00:03:57.000 Doctor. 52 00:03:57.520 --> 00:03:58.520 I am Cuban born. 53 00:03:58.680 --> 00:04:01.120 I didn't mean to offend you, agrammat But you and 54 00:04:01.159 --> 00:04:03.120 Carol and Lazi and I we were sent down to 55 00:04:03.120 --> 00:04:05.960 stop this horror, to isolate a microbe and find a cue, 56 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:10.400 and we failed, failed miserably. It isn't easy to admit then. 57 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.400 No, I know, doctor, but it is not from lack 58 00:04:13.439 --> 00:04:13.919 of trying. 59 00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.199 If we could only think of some fresh angle. 60 00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:19.600 Oh, by the way, I ran into one puzzler at Pina. 61 00:04:19.920 --> 00:04:23.160 I've had enough puzzlers I can't solve. Ah. 62 00:04:23.279 --> 00:04:26.439 Yes, enough puzzlers. But this is a funny case. This 63 00:04:26.480 --> 00:04:29.199 one is worth listening to. The case of a soldier 64 00:04:30.040 --> 00:04:32.519 sick twelve July, dead eighteen July. 65 00:04:33.040 --> 00:04:34.519 Nothing so unusual about that. 66 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.000 Oh, but there is that soldier had not been exposed, 67 00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:40.560 He had not been near the disease for over a 68 00:04:40.639 --> 00:04:41.759 month before he took sick. 69 00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:46.079 What was that? There? It is there's the first clue. 70 00:04:46.639 --> 00:04:49.920 A soldier sick July the twelfth, dead on the eighteenth, 71 00:04:50.920 --> 00:04:52.639 A soldier who had been in the guard house a 72 00:04:52.680 --> 00:04:54.879 month before he took sick, and who lay in that 73 00:04:54.959 --> 00:04:58.079 guard house for three days with eight other prisoners, and 74 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:00.680 not one of them caught it, even the one who 75 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:04.000 slept in his blankets after he died. There's something to 76 00:05:04.079 --> 00:05:08.399 think about. There's a thought worth some contemplation. How about 77 00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:11.040 contaminated food or water? Agrimonty the whole out fit ate 78 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.079 and drank the same. The other eight may have been 79 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:13.439 a mule. 80 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:17.879 Records do not show it. One came from Iowa, one 81 00:05:17.920 --> 00:05:20.560 from Maine, to from Wisconsin. 82 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:23.240 M He may have been extra susceptible. 83 00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:27.120 Maybe maybe not, maybe. 84 00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:32.399 Not think hard, measure read think hard. What was it 85 00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:36.680 crawled or jumped or flew through that godhouse? Window, bit 86 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:40.079 that one prisoner and went back where it came from. 87 00:05:40.120 --> 00:05:41.560 How does yellow fever spread? 88 00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:42.240 Major Reed? 89 00:05:42.920 --> 00:05:45.439 How does it go from man to man, and village 90 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:51.079 to village and even across the sea? Saint? Remember Smith's 91 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:56.720 Texas fever tick? Remember Bruce and that SETSI fly in Africa. 92 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:01.319 Remember that Russ and Grassy have just nailed malaria to 93 00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:11.759 a mosquito. Mosquitoes, think hard, Major Read History is holding 94 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:19.800 her breath while you ponder the mosquito a GRAMMATI. 95 00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:22.360 Wasn't there a doctor Finley who had a theory about 96 00:06:22.360 --> 00:06:23.439 the mosquito and yellowjack? 97 00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.079 Yes, but it was never credited, and he's never able 98 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.040 to prove his theories. 99 00:06:27.160 --> 00:06:27.839 Is he still here? 100 00:06:27.959 --> 00:06:28.279 Yes? 101 00:06:28.600 --> 00:06:31.160 Call doctor Carroll and doctor Lazier, and let us call 102 00:06:31.199 --> 00:06:32.040 on doctor Finley. 103 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:39.279 How simple a stage is sometimes set for great moments 104 00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:45.480 A Cuban afternoon, hot and breathless and sleeping. No drama here, 105 00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.920 no sound of drums or trumpets, no auditory, Only four 106 00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:55.120 young doctors walking along a dusty street, but walking the 107 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:56.319 threshold of discovery. 108 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:58.639 Have the honor of Major Reid to present my colleague, 109 00:06:58.680 --> 00:07:02.079 doctor Finley, for these years a distinguished leader of our profession. 110 00:07:02.079 --> 00:07:05.319 Here in Havana, Doctor Finley, this is doctor Lazier. How 111 00:07:05.319 --> 00:07:07.079 do you do s Doctor Carricter, how. 112 00:07:07.040 --> 00:07:09.959 Do you do Doctor Finley? We've come to ask of 113 00:07:10.040 --> 00:07:12.720 you your knowledge of your yellow fever mosquito. 114 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:16.319 And a specimen of the mosquito herself, as many specimens 115 00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:17.160 as you can spare. 116 00:07:17.240 --> 00:07:20.439 You are stern me, gentlemen. For nineteen years science has 117 00:07:20.519 --> 00:07:23.360 laughed at me, at the cracked Al Finley and his mosquitoes. 118 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:25.759 I have no impulse to share my secret. 119 00:07:25.560 --> 00:07:28.079 And no one's laughing now, doctor Finley. We want to 120 00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:28.600 work with you. 121 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.519 You believe in my discovery, Doctor. 122 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:32.920 Reid, Yes, I do believe in it, don't you see? 123 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:36.160 Doctor Finley, We're what you've been waiting for. We're going 124 00:07:36.199 --> 00:07:38.560 to save your discovery and pull the whole fraternity of 125 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.120 science in the line. All we need is one demonstration 126 00:07:41.199 --> 00:07:42.560 and we can prove the whole theory. 127 00:07:44.480 --> 00:07:47.959 Proof. Aye, there's the run. Some truths have to bide 128 00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.759 their time and wait for the world to catch up 129 00:07:49.800 --> 00:07:54.160 with them. This needs courage and ruthlessness. You can't test 130 00:07:54.199 --> 00:07:56.399 Finley's mosquitos without risking life. 131 00:07:56.480 --> 00:07:58.439 You cannot ask me to believe that you will be 132 00:07:58.480 --> 00:07:59.959 allowed to experiment on your soul. 133 00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.720 No, we'll let the soldiers wait. We start this off 134 00:08:02.759 --> 00:08:03.319 with ourselves. 135 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:07.480 You, gentlemen, the four of us, only three Agrimati's had yellowjacket. 136 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:10.560 No, your member of science, your lives are valuable. 137 00:08:10.839 --> 00:08:13.079 Is any man's life worth more than the cause? He 138 00:08:13.160 --> 00:08:13.759 risks it on? 139 00:08:14.079 --> 00:08:16.680 Made you read, all of you, your brave men. Hommy, 140 00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:17.399 I serve. 141 00:08:17.199 --> 00:08:20.399 You give us the mosquito eggs dot. 142 00:08:20.600 --> 00:08:22.319 When I give them into your hands, I give you 143 00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:24.839 nineteen years of my life. But I do it gladly. 144 00:08:25.639 --> 00:08:27.959 There it is. They're in a bowl before you. 145 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.560 You've wanted to raise the water in that dish, and 146 00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:34.440 those eggs will hatch the criminal. Beware of her. She 147 00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:38.399 isn't a wild marsh mosquito. She's your domestic pep. She 148 00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:41.919 shares your home with you, takes her siesta under your eaves, 149 00:08:42.639 --> 00:08:46.759 raises her family in your patio fountain, and rewards your 150 00:08:46.840 --> 00:08:48.080 hospitality with death. 151 00:08:48.240 --> 00:08:51.080 Gentlemen, you hold the key to yellow fever in your hands. 152 00:08:51.200 --> 00:08:54.080 I pray for your sake and all humanity, that you 153 00:08:54.200 --> 00:08:56.279 may turn the luck I fail to turn. 154 00:09:08.000 --> 00:09:12.840 Discussion, speculation, experimentation, the tireless, never ending pattern of men 155 00:09:12.919 --> 00:09:16.799 of science probing the mysteries, searching for ultimate benefits for humanity, 156 00:09:17.320 --> 00:09:20.480 hoping through medicine to discover cures for all ills since 157 00:09:20.519 --> 00:09:23.399 the dawn of time. But even though centuries old, the 158 00:09:23.440 --> 00:09:25.879 practice of medicine as only within a comparatively recent length 159 00:09:25.919 --> 00:09:28.720 of time made its greatest stride in prolonging the life 160 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.080 of man. It may well be that this fact is 161 00:09:31.159 --> 00:09:34.639 due to day's emphasis upon research, research which has yielded 162 00:09:34.639 --> 00:09:38.440 such life saving drugs as penicillin and the newer streptomycin. 163 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.080 Among the firms whose research helped increase production of penicillin 164 00:09:42.120 --> 00:09:46.720 and allied products is Chanley Laboratories. In recent months, Shanley 165 00:09:46.799 --> 00:09:49.759 Laboratories is placed at the disposal of your physician such 166 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.720 specialized products as penicillin tablets and troquets for administration of 167 00:09:53.720 --> 00:09:58.279 penicillin by mouth, penicillin ointment for local application, and ophthalmic 168 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:02.200 ointment for treating certain infecttions of the eye. Even now, 169 00:10:02.320 --> 00:10:05.759 as you hear this program, the research scientists of Shenley 170 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.200 Laboratories are working toward the end that your physician may 171 00:10:09.240 --> 00:10:12.360 have an never increasing number of healing, life giving drugs 172 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.840 of his command. In striving to further broaden the scope 173 00:10:15.840 --> 00:10:19.519 of our production of pharmaceuticals. Shenley Laboratories is guided by 174 00:10:19.559 --> 00:10:22.519 the desire to help place in every doctor's hands the 175 00:10:22.559 --> 00:10:25.679 greatest amount of aid and fighting disease that medical Church 176 00:10:25.759 --> 00:10:32.000 can develop. Now, Ronald Coleman continues the story of yellowjack. 177 00:10:45.519 --> 00:10:54.159 Mosquitoes under the searching white light of science, mosquitoes under microscopes, discussion, speculation, experimentation. 178 00:10:55.360 --> 00:10:58.919 Look, boys, my orders are to bring mosquitos in here 179 00:10:58.919 --> 00:11:01.159 to the hospital, war to suck a few yellow fever 180 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:03.919 germs out of your blood. Now you got plenty to spare, 181 00:11:03.960 --> 00:11:06.399 so there's nothing for you to get excited about. One 182 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:08.840 little mosquito bite won't make you feel any worse than 183 00:11:08.840 --> 00:11:09.639 you do already. 184 00:11:09.799 --> 00:11:13.240 One mosquitobite in the interests of science. Let the mosquito 185 00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:16.039 dip his quill in the poison and proceed on his 186 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:16.879 deadly way. 187 00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.480 All right, LA's here, roll up your sleeve, has little 188 00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.440 baby in this jar straight from the yellowjack ward, Go ahead, 189 00:11:22.679 --> 00:11:23.240 let's get it. 190 00:11:23.159 --> 00:11:29.600 Over with there it is. That's simply death is carried 191 00:11:29.639 --> 00:11:34.879 from insect tramn or is it any temperature las here? 192 00:11:35.200 --> 00:11:38.200 Nope, heady, no, don discouraging, isn't it? 193 00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:40.799 Yeah? How long since the last time I. 194 00:11:40.759 --> 00:11:43.039 Was bitten six days. 195 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.720 How discouraging when facts can't keep up with hunches. Three 196 00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:51.919 mosquito bites for doctor Lesier and no results. The key 197 00:11:51.960 --> 00:11:53.799 and the lock are in their hands, but the luck 198 00:11:53.919 --> 00:11:59.240 is hard to turn. Nature discloses her secrets reluctantly. Something 199 00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:00.320 has been overlood. Here. 200 00:12:00.639 --> 00:12:02.080 I can tell you one thing we've forgotten. 201 00:12:02.120 --> 00:12:02.559 Oh, what's that? 202 00:12:02.879 --> 00:12:05.360 It's the same thing Ross was stuck on with malaria. 203 00:12:05.679 --> 00:12:07.679 You can fill those mosquitos full of malaria blood and 204 00:12:07.679 --> 00:12:09.639 they can't hurt a baby for two weeks. Afterwards, they've 205 00:12:09.679 --> 00:12:12.279 got to have a good two weeks to ripen. We 206 00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:16.639 haven't given oursqueters any time. Hmmm, he grimodi, How long. 207 00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.919 Is your oldest mosquito headed the jester meal of yellow 208 00:12:18.919 --> 00:12:19.519 fever blood? 209 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:20.360 Twelve days? 210 00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.039 All right, We'll wait two more and trimolas there. That 211 00:12:23.120 --> 00:12:24.720 doesn't take wistod on, doctor Carroll. 212 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:29.519 Waiting is hard, with the tropic sun beating down and 213 00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:32.879 men dying in the yellow fever wards. Waiting is a 214 00:12:32.919 --> 00:12:36.440 twisting impatience that writhes in their stomachs. While the mosquito 215 00:12:36.559 --> 00:12:41.159 drones in the test tube and doctor Lazier remains well, 216 00:12:41.159 --> 00:12:44.480 doubts begin to fester and spread. Perhaps the mosquito is 217 00:12:44.519 --> 00:12:47.799 not the villain. Perhaps once more they are on the 218 00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.840 wrong track. Their manes are small rooms, and they past them, 219 00:12:51.840 --> 00:12:55.799 our after our, day after day, while the jungle leaves 220 00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:59.840 whisper and chuckle in the afternoon breezes, while the monkey chatters, 221 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.240 the manate doses, and the vines of Cuba twine about 222 00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:06.519 the dead. All right, let's get this over with. What's 223 00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:08.240 this mosquito war? By yourself? Agrimony? 224 00:13:08.320 --> 00:13:09.840 That is the one we've fed on that boy. Two 225 00:13:09.840 --> 00:13:11.759 weeks ago we had just been brought into the war. 226 00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.279 That case hadn't even begun to develop. Carol, that's tried. 227 00:13:14.519 --> 00:13:16.440 I took mine from fatal cases. Why can't you a 228 00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:18.519 Mosquito's a mosquito on it? You don't mind, I'll pick 229 00:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.759 my own. Come on, black beauty, kiss me. 230 00:13:28.519 --> 00:13:32.519 Another period of waiting and watching, while anxiety and worry 231 00:13:32.559 --> 00:13:35.399 pinches at their nerves and the bitter tang of failure 232 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:39.120 tastes on their lips. They had been willing to rest 233 00:13:39.200 --> 00:13:41.720 death for the victory of a yellow jack, but now 234 00:13:41.759 --> 00:13:45.000 they feel that instead of death, they are fencing with ridicule. 235 00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:48.440 Carol in particular, is beginning to crack under the strain, 236 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.399 and even read is showing the danger signals of mental 237 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:53.440 anguish and strain. 238 00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:56.240 I have no patience with you, Carol. This morning you 239 00:13:56.320 --> 00:13:58.559 performed an autopsy on a man just dead of yellow fever, 240 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.320 and you're testing one so los of infection you deliberately 241 00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:04.080 expose yourself to another if you were to have become infected. 242 00:14:04.080 --> 00:14:06.360 How would you know what source of infection to hold responsible? 243 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.360 How can you expect me to check my real work 244 00:14:08.399 --> 00:14:10.240 to test an idea that's already exploded. 245 00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.240 You aren't even giving it a chance. You haven't taken 246 00:14:12.279 --> 00:14:13.879 your temperature at all these last four days. 247 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.080 Why should I This darn thing has me crazy as 248 00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:19.639 it is, it's even got me all off my feet. 249 00:14:20.759 --> 00:14:24.000 I woke up this morning feeling how Carol? I don't 250 00:14:24.039 --> 00:14:27.240 like the dackens. My head's felt like a dog's breakfast 251 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:27.840 all morning. 252 00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:35.080 Headache, dizziness. Are you assure it's the effect of nerves? Carol? 253 00:14:36.240 --> 00:14:40.279 Remember a lady you called black beauty, a lady you 254 00:14:40.480 --> 00:14:41.440 dared to laugh at. 255 00:14:41.960 --> 00:14:43.639 Report to the hospital immediately, Carol. 256 00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:46.279 Why there's nothing wrong with me? All I need is 257 00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:47.559 a little quinine and a headache. 258 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:49.799 Beggy Mobile is there, Yes, of course, come on town, 259 00:14:49.960 --> 00:14:54.720 a lot of dang nuns. I am frightened, AGRIMONDI for 260 00:14:54.799 --> 00:14:56.240 the first time, I'm frightened. 261 00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:02.000 What of that Carol's got yellowjack or that he hasn't both. 262 00:15:13.240 --> 00:15:14.000 Well, Doctor Philly. 263 00:15:14.279 --> 00:15:17.639 I examined Carol very thoroughly. Whatever doubts she may have 264 00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:20.279 had yesterday, there can be no question now. First I 265 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:22.840 was sorry for him, then I remember to thank. 266 00:15:22.639 --> 00:15:27.600 God, I'm sorry. But Carol's case is not conclusive. Evidence no, unfortunately, 267 00:15:27.720 --> 00:15:31.720 not conclusive. Why did one mosquito succeed with Carol when 268 00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:35.879 fifty failed with Lazier? How can anyone be sure that 269 00:15:35.960 --> 00:15:39.519 it was the mosquito that infected him? An insect infected 270 00:15:39.519 --> 00:15:41.679 from a case only in the second day of disease, 271 00:15:42.080 --> 00:15:42.639 Doctor Reid. 272 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:45.159 Suppose this microbe is only in the blood the first 273 00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:47.559 few days before you really know what's wrong with you. 274 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:50.200 You mean it might change die after the first few days. 275 00:15:50.360 --> 00:15:50.879 I don't know. 276 00:15:51.600 --> 00:15:53.279 But if there is anything in the idea we've been 277 00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.360 wasting our time feeding our skeeters on advanced cases, there 278 00:15:56.360 --> 00:15:57.879 wouldn't have been any microbes left. 279 00:15:57.679 --> 00:16:00.039 In them, and that would explain why I could I 280 00:16:00.039 --> 00:16:01.360 wonder if that could be it. 281 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:03.080 Ah, it's too easy. 282 00:16:03.960 --> 00:16:05.080 Things can be that simple. 283 00:16:05.480 --> 00:16:09.000 Oh, yes, things can be that simple. The truth is 284 00:16:09.080 --> 00:16:12.799 always simple when you're finally able to discern what is 285 00:16:12.879 --> 00:16:13.320 the truth. 286 00:16:14.080 --> 00:16:16.399 If this is the trick, I never ran any risk 287 00:16:16.480 --> 00:16:18.879 at all, and I may be as susceptible as any man. 288 00:16:19.840 --> 00:16:21.600 I could be the case to confirm Carol. 289 00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:23.639 Now you'd have to be isolated for two weeks. 290 00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:23.960 First. 291 00:16:23.960 --> 00:16:26.480 In two weeks, doctor Carroll will be well or dead. 292 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:28.639 We can't leave him lying there when he's done this. 293 00:16:29.039 --> 00:16:32.200 We can't let him die without knowing what he's done. 294 00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:36.200 Dear God, give us a chance with this, Dear God, 295 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:37.320 just a chance. 296 00:16:38.039 --> 00:16:42.799 Send them one pure, unsuspecting human guinea pig, one guinea pig, 297 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.000 to prove that yellowjack comes from the mosquito. One guinea pig, 298 00:16:47.679 --> 00:16:52.360 one guinea pig, one guinea pig, One guinea pigs. 299 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:52.559 Here? 300 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:56.559 What is it? What's wrong? It's no use. I can't 301 00:16:56.600 --> 00:16:59.919 go on. I'm sick, great or I don't wonder. 302 00:16:59.919 --> 00:17:01.799 You've been at Carol's bedside night and day. 303 00:17:02.279 --> 00:17:05.519 Carol got yellow jack from our mosquitoes. I haven't been 304 00:17:05.559 --> 00:17:09.640 bitten myself for weeks, but I've got it too, I've 305 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.880 got it too. You can take all those notes and 306 00:17:12.920 --> 00:17:16.079 the poets and all those mosquitos and Burnham. There's nothing 307 00:17:16.119 --> 00:17:18.359 in them, because I've gone and got yellow Jack. Without 308 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:41.000 our mosquito. 309 00:17:46.279 --> 00:17:49.880 Men can't go against death and not risk death themselves. 310 00:17:51.119 --> 00:17:56.519 Pasteur sent Tuilier to Alexandria for the Colera. Tuilier didn't 311 00:17:56.519 --> 00:18:03.000 come back. Lazia won't last. Humanity asks great sacrifices of 312 00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:09.119 its scientists. Write down the name Jesse Lazier, engrave it 313 00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:15.160 on stone, honor it. He was a strong man, but 314 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:16.880 not so strong as a mosquito. 315 00:18:17.640 --> 00:18:19.279 Do you want to give up, doctor Reed? 316 00:18:20.079 --> 00:18:21.200 Do you want to go back? 317 00:18:21.759 --> 00:18:24.119 About you, Carol, you're the one who's been ill. 318 00:18:24.599 --> 00:18:30.240 No, I want to go on for myself and for Lazier. 319 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:31.119 Go back. 320 00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:32.240 No. 321 00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:37.279 The stuff of courage doesn't grow weaker. It grows stronger 322 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:41.319 and brighter, until it blinds with its light, and the 323 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:43.680 flaming sword cuts through the veil of knowledge. 324 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.599 Understand our sergeant eimal Wood doesn't want any pressure rock, 325 00:19:01.799 --> 00:19:04.519 just let it leak out. I don't know why any 326 00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:07.640 healthy kids should volunteer, but three hundreds a lot of 327 00:19:07.640 --> 00:19:08.599 money to a soldier. 328 00:19:09.000 --> 00:19:12.519 The whispers dart across the night like frightened birds. Three 329 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:17.279 hundred dollars compensation for volunteers. They've got a nerve volunteers 330 00:19:17.279 --> 00:19:19.680 to catch yellow jack and die of it. Not for me, 331 00:19:20.119 --> 00:19:23.319 not for five times, three hundred dollars, to advance science 332 00:19:23.359 --> 00:19:28.519 and benefit humanity in soldiers, humanity, no pressure, just let 333 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:32.799 it leak out. They will be volunteers. There must be volunteers. 334 00:19:33.119 --> 00:19:35.920 Did you want something private? O, Hero have come to volunteer, sir, 335 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.599 the both of us, sir, for the experiment. 336 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:40.039 You know the risk, yes, sir, we know all right. 337 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:42.880 You've heard what the compensation is, Yes, sir, we've heard 338 00:19:43.079 --> 00:19:45.480 for volunteering in the interests of science. 339 00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:46.920 And for the benefit of humanity. 340 00:19:46.960 --> 00:19:49.160 And the only condition on which we volunteer is that 341 00:19:49.200 --> 00:19:53.440 we receive no compensation. Sir, gentlemen, I thank you. 342 00:20:08.240 --> 00:20:11.599 Did you hear that there are no one can stop 343 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:16.359 them now? They've got everything they need backing money, isolation camps, 344 00:20:16.920 --> 00:20:19.480 and a couple of guys worth remembering. 345 00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:22.279 The conditions are absolutely ideal. Carol Brinkerhof, No Hero be 346 00:20:22.279 --> 00:20:24.680 confined in this tent. There be no mosquitos here that 347 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:26.720 we don't bring with us in test tubes. This is 348 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:29.000 going to be the dog gondest experiment there's ever been. 349 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:31.319 Two weeks for Ohara and Brinker have to sit in 350 00:20:31.359 --> 00:20:34.799 that tent. Two weeks with one of themselves the company, 351 00:20:35.359 --> 00:20:38.240 and an occasional visit from the doctors. Two weeks of 352 00:20:38.279 --> 00:20:42.119 sleep and food and stereo bars before their strange wedding. 353 00:20:42.240 --> 00:20:44.440 Are you ready to break her off? No hero, Yes, sir, sir, 354 00:20:44.720 --> 00:20:51.960 you give me the mosquitos agrimony there, but no mistakes 355 00:20:51.960 --> 00:20:55.480 this time, no chance of error. Reed's going to show 356 00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:58.039 them this time that you can't catch yellow jack in 357 00:20:58.079 --> 00:21:01.400 any way but from the mosquito. He's out to prove 358 00:21:01.519 --> 00:21:05.359 that Laziir too died because of the mosquito. And so 359 00:21:05.440 --> 00:21:08.480 he gets two more volunteers and another tenth that he 360 00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:11.640 calls the dirty House is a tent ready, It's ready, 361 00:21:11.680 --> 00:21:14.119 all right, And that dirty house is a good name 362 00:21:14.160 --> 00:21:17.400 for it. It's packed full of every spinking by product 363 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:18.160 of this disease. 364 00:21:18.359 --> 00:21:21.960 Two soldiers will sleep in there for three weeks, sleep 365 00:21:21.960 --> 00:21:25.680 in the unaired, undisinfected, and unwashed bedding that men have 366 00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:29.960 died in.
