I find the best parts of zombie/apocalypse movies are when things are just starting to crumble.

[dhgwiifund]

She heard: "2 hours" and "14 missing".. She knew it was over.

[pHaZe]

The sheer terror in the generals face when even the lady scientist went straight to the last containment measures. Hell, if they had nukes, she probably would have suggested that instead.

[jimstoesz]

I wish they'd kept the pre-credit scenes all season. This one, and that talk-show scene from episode one, were among the best and most chilling moments of the series.

[shelaghsalisbury]

She doesn’t ask for her family to be spared. She doesn’t ask to be taken to a safe place. She wants to be with her family and die with them.

[maxiification]

Curious thing, note how this scene inverts the usual "military and scientist" convention in apocalyptic fiction where the scientist tries to look for more humane ways to save people and tries to keep hope, where as the military tends to think more radically and trigger happy.
In here it is the military man who explains they want to save people and make a vaccine if possible, and the scientist is the one who suggests the radical option as the only one remotely viable

the militery man beside the madame ministry of healt is passed away last year after shoting this series. his name is yayu unru.

[TihetrisWeathersby]

This was a chilling scene, Not only her brutal honesty but that she realized how serious it was

[ambre]

That escalated softly but soooo quickly. What a masterpiece of acting. Bravo

[kiwimjm]

I’m not joking when I say I think this is one of the most chilling and frightening cold opens of a show ever. Actually scarier than some of the stuff in the actual show.

She technically asked "how are the other workers?" And he said, "14 are missing." The translation leads us to think she asked about MISSING coworkers, when she just asked about their health status.

She wasn't even expecting any missing people so that was a surprise. Before receiving this info, if she was doing some optimistic math of containment and thought that maybe with good measures, they could stop the spread; the surprise reveal of 14 missing totally shattered her math and, therefore, hope. That's why she *suddenly* started shaking. There was some hope prior to that. This was kinda lost in translation

[bobsnow]

You can hear the faint sound of sirens in the background around 1:05. Could be a coincidence but it would be logical to assume that shit's already hitting the fan and we're in the very early stages of police and paramedics responding to an uptick in what they think is civil disorder or drunk/high/mentally disturbed people acting crazy. Even here while they're having a conversation about logistics over tea they're likely just hours away from full-blowm pandemonium.

[vickysib]

Same vibes as “it’s not 3.6 roentgen, it’s 15000”

[jessetorres]

What makes this scene more unique & shocking is that in most movies & shows it's the military that's all "bomb everything, " but here it's the scientist saying it since they know that mankind is doomed.

[matrix_killer]

Absolute stellar acting by these two on both their parts. The scientist showing extreme worry and hopelessness at the face of a potential worldwide catastrophe and the military general looking for some kind of solution to this but only getting-wait for it- hoplessness.

[gpeddino]

RIP Yayu Unru, the Indonesian actor who played the general. He died in December 2023 of a heart attack.

[stanmoroncini]

The actress did a great job in this scene, when she heard the number 14 and her hands started shaking, amazing. Also, great job in not showing the commanders face until she said there is no cure and he looks so worried.

[glennmartin]

“Are any other workers missing?”
“Fourteen.”

She knew humanity was doomed when she heard that number.

[johnnk]

14 are missing. And it's been 30 hours. Damn, it's too late. 😭😭😭
