All language subtitles for War of the Worlds - 01x18 - Unto Us a Child is Born

In 1953, Earth experienced
a war of the worlds.

Common bacteria
stopped the aliens,

but it didn't kill them.

Instead, the aliens lapsed
into a state of deep hibernation.

Now the aliens have
been resurrected,

more terrifying
than ever before.

In 1953 aliens started
taking over the world.

Today, they're taking
over our bodies.

You're saying that we have

some kind of a half-breed
on our hands here.

A monster...

half-human, half-alien.

She's beautiful.

Thank you.

Hey!

♪ ♪

Careful!

This stuff is dangerous.

Yeah, I know that.

You don't have to tell me.

I don't think this will fit me.

Of course it will.

Go and try it on.

What have you got to lose?

30 pounds.

This is Walker...

Go!

What's going on?

Hold it right there!

This is Walker!

Unauthorized
personnel, sector 98.

Three males...
black hair, beard,

and coveralls.

There he is!

Stop him!

Stop! Stop!

What, are you crazy
or something, man?

You guys go that way.

We'll cut him off.

I'll be right with you, sir.

Excuse me!

Excuse me.

Are you all right?

I... don't feel well.

Why don't you sit
down for a second?

I'm fine.

Are you sure you're okay?

It's okay.

Everything's
going to be all right.

Call an ambulance!

Help me!

Nice of you to show up.

This better be good, Norton.

What's happening?

Alien transmission?

Yep. Right in our own backyard.

Well, within 300
hundred miles, anyway.

It's gonna take a
while to pinpoint

the exact coordinates
of the transmission,

but check this out.

When I transpose the
message onto the screen...

That's not the
usual pattern, is it?

Not by a long shot.

The cadence is too
short and choppy,

and it keeps repeating itself.

Okay, it's just a hunch,

but it feels like a
distress signal to me.

Well, the point is
they're out there,

and we've got to do
something about it.

Let's get ready to move.

What's happening?

Where are you taking me?

Oh, just down the
hall, Mrs. Salvo.

Just hold on. Your baby's fine.

Just a little
stubborn, that's all.

I picked up a triple
heartbeat on the fetal monitor.

Let's move it.

What do you mean I
can't be with my wife?

I took ten weeks of Lamaze.

I'm sorry, Mr. Salvo,
doctor's orders.

W-what's wrong? Uh,
no, nothing's wrong.

Did something happen?
Everything's normal.

Everything's... Can
I talk to the doctor?

Go get yourself a coffee.

Try to relax, Mr. Salvo.

There's no problem.

We'll come and get you. Okay?

Dr. Rachel... Dr. Rachel...

I don't know how
you guys stay so calm.

I'm a nervous wreck.

Could have fooled me.

Oh, yeah.

Dr. Howard, please
call the operator.

Mr. Salvo?

Yes?

Would you like to
see your new son?

My son?

It's a boy.

It's a boy.

Is he okay? Oh, yes.

Is Nancy all right?

Well, your... Can I see them?

Well, your wife is
in the recovery room

'cause she's had
quite an ordeal.

But she's fine.

She's just fine.

Wait.

She's fine.

She's just fine.

It's a boy.

Here.

Thank you.

Thank you.

It's a boy.

That's good, keep
going straight.

Good.

Hold it! Make a left.

Norton, give me a break.

He's a bad enough driver
without your directions.

How are we doing?

Dr. Rush to X ray.

Dr. Rush to X ray.

Oh. It's a boy.

Thank you.

Dr. Rush to X ray.

Dr. Stokes to Ward Four. Here.

For my boy.

Dr. Bennett to Room 414.

Dr. Bennett to Room 414.

My folks are just thrilled...

You're getting warmer.

Warmer...

Warmer...

Bingo! You're there.

A hospital?

I wonder what
they're doing in there.

There is no way in the world

I'm going to let you
search this facility.

Sir, we've got reason to believe

that your hospital is
harboring terrorists.

My hospital?

Sir, it's a matter
of national security.

If you'll just call this
number at the Pentagon,

they will clear everything.

We can't use a Geiger counter,

there's too much
ambient radiation.

With all the doctors,
personnel, patients,

where are we going to start?

We start with the patients
admitted in the last day.

We've got to assume that
something happened here

that cued these transmissions.

Will you tell me
what this is about?

I'm sorry we can't.

If we could just see the
next patient on the list.

We've seen all but Mrs. Salvo.

She just had a little boy.

Well, we have to
see her, please.

Actually I'm not
sure she's awake.

Mrs. Salvo had a
very difficult delivery.

Nancy?

Nancy?

Nancy?

Nurse Rogers to Ward Seven.

How'd you do?

He's one unhappy administrator.

He wanted to call
in the, uh, authorities.

So I lied a little bit

and told him we
superseded the local police.

He wasn't happy with
that, so I explained to him

that going public at
this time would engender

enough negative publicity
to shut this whole place down.

Of course he'll be cooperating.

Yeah, he'll cooperate.

Business as usual.

Is there any sign
of Nancy Salvo?

No.

What about the Salvo baby?

The baby is safe.

Apparently, the baby
was in the nursery

when the murder took place.

Yeah. We better
isolate that baby.

He might be a target.

Of...?

Of whoever killed his father.

Oh! I got here as
soon as I could.

Where's the baby?

In isolation.

Room 709, just down on the left.

Colonel Ironhorse.

This thing isn't over yet.

I just picked up
another transmission.

Same coordinates?

Exactly.

Damn!

Oh, there we go.

I'm not a pediatrician,

but he looks
pretty normal to me.

Well, it makes
sense to run a check.

We are not at full
strength, Advocate.

What exactly does that mean?

One of our comrades
escaped into the body

of a pregnant human.

The human gave birth and
is in a weakened condition.

Why doesn't she get a new body?

That's the thing... She
can't, she's too weak.

More importantly, what's
become of this offspring?

It remains in the hospital. Why?

If this baby is a
hybrid life-form,

it could be very
beneficial to us.

The secret to its
survival might well provide

the answers to our own survival

in this blighted atmosphere.

Bring us this child.

As you command, Advocate.

Dr. Howard, please
call the operator.

Dr. Howard, please
call the operator.

That can't be.

Harrison!

Hold on a second.

What is it?

Let me get back to you, okay?

You tell me.

Looks like ordinary
human tissue.

It is.

Now look.

Anesthesia to O.R.

Anesthesia to O.R.

Good God.

Both these samples
are from the Salvo baby?

Mm-hmm.

Somehow he's
undergone a blending

of alien and human cells.

You mean partial blending.

The first tissue
sample you showed me

was perfectly normal. I know.

And I'll be damned if I
can explain what's going on.

Other than to say
that in this case,

alien and human tissue

seems to be compatible
in the same organism.

It's incredible.

You're saying that we have
some kind of a half-breed

on our hands here.

We have a mutant newborn.

His father is a human.

And whose mother disappeared

shortly after the birth.

That's not a hell
of a lot to go on.

Well, look at the upside.

There's an upside?

Mm.

We have the baby, they don't.

Look at the size of him.

What the hell is going on here?

I was hoping you...

you wouldn't ask me that.

What if the child's development

is keyed to an
alien growth cycle?

What do you mean?

Maybe the aliens have an
accelerated aging process

in which they reach maturity

within, say, a few
hours after birth.

Okay, suppose they do,

and we can figure
out the formula.

How do we apply
that to the hybrid?

Well, the first step
is to call for help.

Norton.

Crank it up, will you?

Got some work to do.

So what else is new?

Well, I need you to access
any of Suzanne's research

pertaining to the
alien growth rate.

Which I can tell you right now

amounts to next to nothing.

I want you to calculate its
effects on the human rate

of physical development.

Okay. You got it.

Good luck.

Listen, while I've got you both,

I've been doing some checking
of the police reports in the area,

and I scored.

I came across a
report, and I quote,

"of a strange
doughnut-shaped corpse

of the remains of
a human being."

Is that the residue of
an alien body transfer?

Yeah.

Where did they find that?

Well, that's the
interesting thing.

Less than a mile
from the hospital.

In fact, in the
same shopping mall

where the paramedics
picked up Nancy Salvo.

So we've got an alien
saboteur who, to avoid capture,

takes over the
nearest available body

which, unfortunately for her,
happens to be Nancy Salvo.

The very pregnant Nancy Salvo.

And this takeover creates
so much physiological havoc

that it triggers
premature labor,

and the result is the birth...

Of a monster...

half-human, half-alien.

You'd better not come with us.

I'm coming.

What if somebody in the
hospital recognizes you?

They won't.

Our mission is too important

to take unnecessary risks.

We can retrieve
this child on our own.

No! I'm going with you.

You have no authority

to violate a direct order
from the Advocacy.

I agree.

If we're going to
get this human baby

and bring it to the Advocacy,

we must remain united as three.

We must get back
in the hospital.

But how?

Dr. Skiva to Emergency, please.

Dr. Skiva to Emergency.

Dr. Rush to X ray.

Dr. Rush to X ray.

We'll set up a checkpoint
here at the elevator

and at each one
of these stairwells.

Now, the seventh floor is
strictly off-limits to everyone,

and I mean everyone,
with the exception of myself,

Dr. McCullough, Dr. Blackwood
and the supervising nurses

who will be alternating
on 12-hour shifts.

Now, in the event that the
secured area is penetrated,

set up our secondary
line of defense here,

just outside of the baby's room.

Excuse me. Colonel. Yes, sir?

I'd like you to meet Mr. Hugo.

He's the chief
administrator for the hospital.

Mr. Hugo, we've had
to assume responsibility

for the hospital security.

If you could please advise
your people. Absolutely.

Colonel, one of
our nurses thinks

she just saw Nancy
Salvo in the hospital.

Dr. Cordina to Emergency.

I would love to go
with you to the opera.

Michael, if your mom and
dad are gonna be there,

I don't care.

I have nothing against them.

Okay, listen, I won't be late.

I gotta go.

Okay, I'll see you. Bye.

No!

No! No!

We should have video
cameras installed in the room

so we can study any further
transformations on tape.

We can't risk anyone
getting to this baby.

Now, I'm gonna work out the
details with the colonel soon as...

Oh, my God!

They've taken the baby.

Have they?

Okay.

Cover this door.

Johnson, take
the south entrance.

Now, let me get this straight.

You're saying that
the baby did this?

I'm open to other explanations.

You realize that nobody out
there is going to believe you.

I'm not even sure I do.

And it's not official,
but I just heard

that Nancy Salvo may
be on the premises.

Odds are she's an alien.

Apparently, they want this...

whatever-you-call-it,
as much as we do.

That's what these
transmissions must be all about.

Why do you think they want him?

Because if the baby has
adapted to Earth's atmosphere,

then the aliens won't be so
vulnerable to Earth's bacteria.

And we'd be up against

a race of superbeings.

We've got to get that thing.

We've covered all the exits,

Colonel, and we're ready
to start a room-to-room.

Then let's do it, Sergeant.

I want nobody
coming through there.

You got that? Nobody.

Well, then clear
them out of there.

We've gone over every
inch of this floor, sir.

We got zip. How would
you like us to proceed?

Okay, you'll take
the upper floors,

we'll take the floors below.

- 'Kay, let's go.
- Hold on.

Everyone should know
what we're looking for.

According to
Norton's calculations,

this baby could be 35
in a matter of moments,

but that's just a projection.

In reality, we don't know
what we're looking at.

So be careful... As
we've seen before,

this thing can be deadly.

Got it.

One more thing.

It's our preference

that it be taken alive.

Priority is the safety of our
personnel and the public.

Let's go.

If you get anything,

use your radio.

Good luck.

Same to you.

Elevators.

Dr. Howard, please call
the operator. Dr. Howard.

Turn on the lights.

He's aged a hundred years

in one day.

It's incredible.

He looks like he's dying.

There's not a
trace of alien tissue.

This little guy has the Suzanne
McCullough seal of approval.

I hope he's able to forget
we were ever part of his world.

He's been through enough
hell to last him a whole lifetime.

Aw, he's such a lovely baby.

I don't think I'll
ever put him down.

Oh, yes, you will.

The law says he has
to ride in a car seat.

Come on. Let's
have him, Blanche.

I think he's going to be a
strict father this time around.

You haven't said very
much about what happened.

No great theories?

Actually, I've had several...

Let's call them
"late night musings"

none of which stood
up to the light of day.

The only thing I can think of

is when the alien
and his mother died,

somehow it killed
the alien in him.

I can't thank you enough.

We'll be eternally
grateful to you.

Well, he's on his way.

Those people have a right

to know what happened
to their grandson...

and his parents.

Suzanne, if I thought
it would've done

any good at all any
good... any good...

I would have told them.

I just don't think they
would have believed me.

At least we know he's
going to get a lot of love.

I just hope those two
can keep up with him.

It's amazing.

After all he's been through,
to go off and begin a new life

as if he were just
an ordinary kid.
