All language subtitles for The Outer Limits_S03E03_Regeneration.srt - 2

Four-year-old male,
contusion posterior skull.

He fell down the stairs,
unconscious when he arrived.

It's because of
a subdural hematoma.

Get him to ward three, stat.

Everything's going
to be all right, Justin.

Sorry, sir.
You have to wait outside.

I don't want to wait outside.
That's my son.

You can't help us in there.

We'll do everything we can.

Let's go.

[chattering indistinctly]

Excuse me, can you help me?

-My son Justin--
-One moment, please.

[man over PA]
Paging Dr. White, Dr. White.

Graham.

Graham!

Where's Justin?

Is he all right?
Can I see him?

Rebecca.

I'm sorry.

No.

[man over PA]
Dr. Palmer, please report
to the emergency desk.

Dr. Palmer.

-[machine flatlining]
-Oh, God. Justin.

[Doctor]
Flatlined on all monitors.

[thunder rumbling]

[Graham] Thank you
for coming by, Father.

-[woman 1] There he is.
-[man 1] There he is.

[woman 1]
Can you make a statement?

[woman 2] Mr. Highfield.
Mr. Highfield, will this
affect your run for office?

[man 2]
How do you answer the charges
of trying to buy the election?

[man 3] Can you
give us a statement?

I don't think the press
needs a statement
today, Graham.

[reporters chattering]

You're absolutely right.

[security guard]
Get back.

-What were you
going to tell them?
-[door closes]

I was going to tell them
to go away.

[Rebecca] Yes.
It would be our dream.

Go for the sympathy vote.

Rebecca, that's cruel.

You know I would
never use our tragedy
for political gain.

You must know that.

I don't know that.

I don't know anything anymore.

We're going to be alone
forever now, aren't we?

No.

We don't have to be.

That's what I've been
trying to tell you.

I don't know if I can
go through that again.

It took us so long to get
pregnant the first time.

Rebecca, come with me
to the lab.

I want to show you something.

Please, Graham,
can't this wait?

Honestly, Rebecca...

no.

Rebecca, this is Dr. Lucy Cole.

Hello, Mrs. Highfield.

-I'm so very sorry.
-Thank you.

This must seem like
an inexcusable intrusion,

but your husband
thought it was very important.

-Is it ready?
-Yes, sir.
It's right over here.

Take a look.

[beeping]

What is it?

It's called a blastocyst,
Mrs. Highfield.

It's the first few cells
of a human embryo.

They're used for making clones.

After insemination,
the resulting embryo

regrows into an identical copy
of the original organism.

Well, I still don't understand
what I'm doing here.

Thank you.

Yes, sir. Excuse me.

Rebecca, please understand,

I did what I did out of love.

After Justin died,
I asked Dr. Cole

to harvest cells from
his brain and his spinal cord

to begin the procedure.

That's our son, Bec.

It's Justin.

That's not possible.

[Control Voice]
There is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal
and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

and beyond.

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination
can conceive.

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to The Outer Limits.

Humans appear
to be the only animals

aware of their own mortality.

When death comes,

we console ourselves
with its inevitability.

But when
the unthinkable happens,

and a child dies
before a parent,

the natural order
is turned upside down

as are the lives left behind.

My God, Graham, we just buried
our son this morning.

I can't talk about this
right now.

I need more time.

[Graham] Rebecca, please.

We don't have more time.

I wish we did.

But you heard
what Dr. Cole said.

These cells will only be viable
for another 48 hours.

If we're going to
do the implantation,
we have to do it now.

You expect me
to make a decision like this
in two days?

[sighs]

I realize it's hard
to absorb all at once.

[sighs]

Especially with how
devastated you are.

Apparently more
devastated than you.

That's not fair.

You think I don't
get nightmares

of Justin falling
over and over again?

I know.

Rebecca, please.

Dr. Cole has taken
a handful of nerve cells

and turned them
into a living embryo.

That's never been done before.

Do you realize
how lucky we are?

Lucky?

How can you say that?

Our son is dead.

Rebecca, everything Justin was
is in those cells.

We can make him live again.

You make it sound
as if our goldfish died.

And all we have to do
is go to the pet store
and get a replacement for it,

and then everything's
going to be the same.

I know it can
never be the same.

But maybe we've
been given a chance

to make things even better
than they were before.

[door creaks]

[toy siren wailing]

Hi, Mom.

[siren stops]

Rebecca.

I guess I don't have to ask
how you're doing.

Maybe this will help
lift your spirits.

It's from Dr. Cole.

It's something you need to see.

[beeps]

I'm not ready to make
any kind of decision.

Rebecca.

Dr. Cole has created
a genetic
development simulation,

a computer model
that can predict

how our cloned embryos
will develop.

[exhales]
I really don't want
to see this.

Look, Rebecca.

Look.

That's Justin.

Just like the day he was born.

Oh, my God.

It really is Justin.

The simulation can extrapolate

how the new child will look
as it grows and ages.

Watch.

[keyboard clacking]

That's Justin at 20.

He's 20?

Already an inch taller
than his dad.

He'll have such a long life
ahead of him, Rebecca.

Doesn't he deserve that?

[heart monitor beeping]

[nurse]
Stable, all signs are normal.

Okay. Now, Mrs. Highfield,

you're going to feel
a little bit of pressure,

but no pain.
I can promise you that.

All right, take a deep breath.

Here we go.

That's it. Easy.

-[moans]
-[Lucy] Easy.

Easy. Good.

That's good.

Okay now, Mrs. Highfield,
nice deep breaths.

[Graham]
Honey, I've got to get going.

You don't
keep the governor waiting.

The governor?

Don't you remember?

I got a call last night.

He wants to see me
this morning.

Maybe to endorse
my candidacy for the senate.

Of... Of course.

That... That's wonderful.

All these years
of blood and sweat,

building a company,
making it a success,

it was all about this moment.

It's all within reach, Bec.

It's finally within reach.

I am so proud of you.

You know that, don't you?

Maybe you should come with me.

You and me and the governor,

it would make a great photo op.

Our first new family photo.

You and me and Justin.

I told you to stop that.

It's sick.

This baby deserves
its own name.

Of course.

We'll choose
a name for him tonight.

Okay?

[door opening and closing]

Graham, wait.

What is it?

I think this baby deserves

to know who he really is
and who he was.

I don't think
that's such a good idea.

Why not?

This... this baby is
going to look
exactly like Justin.

[stammering]
And we're in the public eye,

and people are going
to say things to him.

It's okay.
It's a family resemblance.

There are a lot of pictures
of Justin in that house.

And this baby's
going to see them

-and he's going to know
that something's--
-Rebecca.

Rebecca, listen to me,
sweetheart.

No one will ever
replace Justin.

He'll always be
special in our hearts.

And our new boy,

even though he looks
like Justin,

he's going to be his own man.

And loving him doesn't mean

we're dishonoring
Justin's memory,

I promise you.

Do you think you can
stop worrying?

I'm going to try.

Good. Good.

I'll see you soon, okay?

-[toy siren wailing]
-Hi, Mommy.

[Rebecca]
How's my little man?

[toy siren wailing]

You're gonna be
a good little boy?

Yes, Mommy.

...good little boy?

How's my little man?

...good little boy?

[toy siren continues wailing]

Be a good boy for Daddy.

Oh, my God.

Be a good boy for Daddy.
I love you, sweetie.

[siren stopping]

It's going to be okay.

It's going to be okay.
We're going to be okay.

[heart beating]

You're a very lucky woman,
Mrs. Highfield.

There aren't many men
like your husband.

He personally funded
an entire wing
at Mercy Hospital

and then refused to have
his name put on it.

I don't think I've ever met
a more giving man.

Is there something that
you're avoiding telling me?

No, not at all.

Your blood pressure's fine,
just like all your vital signs.

-Then what's happening?
-You're pregnant.

[laughing]
I know that.

Your body is going through
tremendous changes.

Your hormone balance
is fluctuating
practically every day.

There is nothing
physically wrong with you.

You had a few dizzy spells,
and that was all.

No, this is not a dizzy spell.

This is... this is
more like a wave of emotion.

I was in Justin's room,

and I was remembering
the last time I saw him.

He was playing
with his toys and...

And then suddenly
everything switched.

And for a moment, it was
as if I was seeing things,

but through
someone else's eyes.

They were Justin's eyes.

It was as if
he was remembering it.

Mrs. Highfield,
you lost a child.

I think this is probably
nothing more than
a very vivid daydream,

the manifestation of your wish
that Justin was still alive.

You know, I think you should
consider talking to someone,

a therapist or
a grief counselor.

No, no, no,
this is not about grief.

This was as if I was getting
flashes from someone else.

And the more
I think about this,
and the more I talk about it,

I know that
it wasn't coming from me.

I think
it was coming from the baby.

That's not possible.

Not so long ago,
you would have said

turning nerve cells
into an embryo was impossible.

Apart from the way
that we obtained the embryo,

you went through
an absolutely routine
artificial insemination.

The procedure's performed
thousands of times every year.

It does not give you
memories or experiences.

All it gives you is a baby.

I think you should try
to accept the possibility

that what you felt
is simply in your mind.

Oh, you're busy today.

[gasping]

Oh, sweetie, please.

I know that
you're eager to get out,

but we got
a couple of months yet.

[gasping]

Honey, please, please.

Oh. Just take it easy, okay?

For mommy's sake?

[sighing]

Oh, thank you.

You're a good listener.

[heart monitor beeping]

-[Lucy] Hear that heartbeat?
-[Rebecca] Mmm-hmm.

[Lucy]
It's good and strong.

He's doing just fine.

I'm sure there's
absolutely nothing to worry--

Just bear with me, okay, Lucy?

Can you see him yet?

Yes, I can see him.

In fact, that's a pretty good
picture of him.

Uh-huh.

Everything looks normal.

There's his head and his arms.

His legs.

He doesn't appear
to be awake right now.

He will be.

Now watch this.

Justin?

Justin?

Wake up, sweetheart.

Wake up.

He's moving his shoulder.

Uh, yes. There appears
to be some movement.

How did you know
he was going to wake?

I told him to.

Mrs. Highfield, at this stage
of development,

all babies
are constantly waking up.

They're constantly
moving around
and falling back to sleep

for all sorts of reasons.

Just say hello
to the nice lady, Justin.

You tell me, Lucy,

do all unborn babies
wave hello?

I think this might explain
what's going on.

This is your umbilical cord.

It's usually
a very simple structure,
two arteries and a vein

bound together
by some connective tissue.

What do you mean by "usually"?

Well, in this case,
it isn't quite as simple.

Now, these two strands here,
those are the arteries.

This one coming up in blue,
that's the vein.

But you said there were
only three blood vessels.

That looks like a fourth.

[Lucy] That's not
a blood vessel.

It's a bundle of nerve fibers,

and it's not supposed
to be there.

You see, I think
that's how you're managing

to communicate with the fetus.

So you believe me?

Yeah.

The EEG confirmed it.

Every time you said
the two of you
were communicating...

-[Rebecca] Uh-huh.
-...the graph clearly shows

two sets of brain waves.

[laughing]
At least I know
I'm not going crazy.

Yeah, well, maybe I am.

As far as I can see,
there can only be
one logical explanation.

I took brain and
spinal cord cells from Justin

to create the embryo.

Now, unlike other cells,

nerve cells,
they don't regenerate.

They're like a blank slate.

Which is why I can insert
instruction into their DNA

to revert them back
to their embryonic state.

But Justin's cells,

they weren't clean slates,
were they?

Apparently not.

Justin's old cells
must have retained

some kind of a blueprint
as to where they came from.

Justin's mind and his memories

are slowly being reconstructed
piece by piece.

You see, this baby
is not just a clone.

In more ways than we imagined,
this baby really is Justin.

Justin?

[dog barking in distance]

[Graham] Rebecca, sweetheart?

Honey?

Oh, honey.

I'm sorry, honey,
I didn't hear you.

I was so wrapped up in this.

Rearranging the furniture?

Yes.

Well, you know, Justin,
he always liked
to be by the window

so he could see the stars.

And he couldn't
do that over there.

You just called him Justin.

Yes, I did.

[gasping]

-Are you all right?
-Yeah.

It's...

Oh, our little guy
is kicking a lot tonight.

Oh.

So how did everything go
with the governor?

I was right.
He wants to endorse me.

[sighs]

I never doubted it.

He says he's impressed
with what I've accomplished
in the community

and how I built
Highfield Industries
up from nothing.

How I have the perfect
beautiful wife.

Oh. Who's as fat
as a cow right now.
[chuckles]

And how being pregnant
is a good wholesome image.

Yes, and the fact
that we lost a child
six months ago.

That should help
with the sympathy vote.

Honey, please.

You and I and our son
are going to Washington.

That's everything
we ever dreamed of.

It's everything
you ever dreamed of.

I'm going to shower
and jump into bed.

Will you join me?

Yeah, I'll be there
in a minute.

[toy siren echoing]

[heart beating]

[Justin] Daddy, look.

-[speaks indistinctly]
-Daddy, look.

Daddy, look.

Dad!

-Justin.
-[Justin] Mommy!

Oh, Justin, it's okay.

It's okay, baby.
Mommy's here.

[creaking]

[motor whirring]

Rebecca?

[Rebecca mimicking
toy engine]

Rebecca, what are you doing?

I couldn't sleep.

I mean, Justin couldn't sleep.

I thought he might enjoy
playing with some of his toys.

Bec, are you all right?

Listen, Graham,

I've been getting
these thoughts in my head.

They're coming from the baby.

They're Justin's thoughts.

This baby is Justin.

I think we should see Dr. Cole
in the morning.

No, I saw Lucy today.

She did a bunch of tests
to confirm it.

She says that Justin's mind
is actually rebuilding itself.

And there's an
extra nerve strand.

It's connected
to my umbilical cord

and lets us communicate.
[laughing]

You're serious?

[gasps]

Sometimes there are so many
thoughts with such intensity,

it's... it's like
a physical force.

This is incredible, Rebecca.

You could teach him things
while he's still in the womb.

Yes.

Will you tell him
something for me?

Tell him his father says hello.

He loves him
and he's proud of him.

I will.

What is it, Rebecca?

[gasps]

-[toy siren wailing]
-[Justin] Mommy!

I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

What's wrong?
Rebecca?

[Justin] Dad!

[exclaiming]

[Justin]
Mommy! [echoing]

Rebecca.

-My God, Rebecca.
-[gasping]

Can you hear me?

Rebecca?

[Lucy]
I can't understand it.

All of her vital signs
are fine.

[moans]

I'm right here, sweetheart.

It's all right.
You're going to be all right.

-Where am I?
-In the hospital.

You were unconscious
for about six hours.

You had some kind of seizure.

Just suddenly collapsed.

[Lucy] There's a small tear
in your placenta but the baby--

The baby's fine.

Yes, he is.

And as far as we can tell,
so are you.

We ran some neurological tests.
Everything came up clean.

There doesn't appear
to be anything
physically wrong with you.

Can you remember what happened?

I was, um...
I was in the attic and I was...

I was
playing with Justin's toys.

And then Graham came up,
and we started talking.

And then suddenly
he started lashing out.

Do you have any idea why?

I don't know. Maybe he was mad
because we stopped playing.

[Graham]
Are you saying he had a fit?

I suppose I am.

[Lucy] Mrs. Highfield,
I'm going to keep you

under observation
for a little while longer.

Now, if everything looks good,
you can go home tomorrow.

But after that,
it's minimal activity

and lots of bed-rest
until delivery.

As of right now,
this pregnancy is
officially high risk.

[groans]
That's three months in bed.

[Lucy] Well, I'm afraid
any other alternative
would be just too dangerous.

I'm sorry, honey.

There goes your photo ops.

To hell with the photo ops.

It's what's best for the baby.

Now, the next order of business

is to help you
get your strength back.

-You hungry?
-Oh, yes.

Now that you mention it,
I am starved.

You're in luck.

Unless you want the food.

[laughs]

I'll get you something
from the cafeteria.

-Thanks, honey.
-Oh, actually,
I should be going as well.

I will definitely
check in on you later.

Lucy.

Could you just stay
for just a minute, please?

Sure.

I'll be right back.

Lucy, Justin
didn't have a tantrum.

I was telling him
how much his father

was looking forward
to seeing him,

and I got this sharp pain.

It was as if
he was trying to get away.

I see.

Are you sure you're not just
projecting your feelings?

I mean, why didn't you
tell me about this before?

Because I didn't want
to hurt Graham's feelings.

I don't know,
it seems e very time I try

to tell Justin about Graham,
he gets really upset.

Mrs. Highfield, I'm sure
you know Graham
a lot better than I do,

but I have seen him
with other children,

and I cannot imagine
a more caring father.

It's not that.

Graham always
expected so much from him.

He drove him
sometimes a little too hard

to be the best in everything.

I have to let him know
how much his father loves him.

[man on TV]
You must be tired
after your journey.

Perhaps we can
get you a brandy.

[woman] But, darling,
there's nothing like that
left in the house.

[man] My apologies.

You know what, sweetie?
We had enough of this
in the hospital.

I'm going for a walk.

Ooh. It's okay, sweetie.

What's the matter?
You always liked...

[gasping]

...being in your daddy's study.

[breathing heavily]
There's nothing
to be afraid of.

I'm going to show you.

You see?

You remember this, sweetie?

This is Daddy's desk.

And over here is the fireplace.

Remember, this is
where we used to warm you up.

[gasping]

It's okay, sweetheart.

It's okay. It's okay.

-Justin.
-[toy siren wailing]

[Justin] Look, Daddy.

It won't turn off, Daddy.

When will you learn to do
what you're told?

When are you gonna learn
to do what you're told?

-Daddy, look!
-Justin.

-Look, Daddy, look.
-Justin, please.

Look, Daddy, look.

When the hell
are you gonna learn
to do what you're told?

[shouts]

Mommy!

[sobbing]

Oh, sweetie.

My baby.

It's all right.

He will never
go near you again.

He will never
go near you again.

No.

No.

[Graham] Rebecca?

Sweetheart?

Honey, how was...

-What are you doing?
-I'm leaving.

What's wrong?
Do you need to go
to the hospital?

-Let me help you.
-I know what happened.

Justin showed me.

It was your fault.

But if Justin showed you,

then you know
it was an accident.

Our son is dead.

Our son is alive,
inside of you.

I'm leaving.

Rebecca.

Rebecca, no.

Calm down
so we can discuss this.

We have nothing to discuss.

All I want is a second chance

to be a good father
to our child.

You don't get a second chance.

Let go of me.

[Justin] Dad!

[Graham] Rebecca, please stop.

Rebecca!

[Justin] Dad!

[Graham] Rebecca.

Please don't destroy our lives,

everything we've worked for.

Are you going to
let me go or not?

You want to go?

Go, Rebecca.

You're going
to push me down the stairs.

I've had dizzy spells.

You're going to make this
look like an accident.

No!

Rebecca, you're not
making any sense.

No!

Rebecca.

[grunting]

Rebecca?

[grunts]

Here, Mommy.

[Rebecca] No.

There are no bullets.

Under here, Mommy.

-Under here, Mommy.
-[groans]

Honey, I can't hide
underneath it.

I need this to open.

No, I need the key.

Here, Mommy.

Yes, sweetheart, oh, thank you.

You tried to
show me where it is.

No.

Rebecca.

Rebecca, please stop
this nonsense.

Rebecca.

You have no reason
to be afraid of me.

Oh, Rebecca,
I would never hurt you.

[Rebecca]
Stay where you are.

And I would
never hurt our child.

-Don't come any closer.
-You must know that.

I have paid such a price

for that one moment
of anger and frustration.

Stay where you are.

I'll be living
with that nightmare
for the rest of my life.

[Justin] Daddy.

[Justin shouts]

I didn't mean it!
Mommy!

[Graham]
Rebecca, put down the gun.

[Justin] Dad!

[gun cocks and fires]

[body thudding]

[indistinct chatter over PA]

Please thank
Dr. Spencer for me.

-Sure.
-I was a little bit worried
about the fever.

No problem.

So the doctor just thinks
it's a slight cold.

Otherwise he's
in perfect health.

Thank you. I'll see you
at our next check-up.

Sure.

Bye, now.

[gasping]

[Lucy] Graham, quiet, please.

Shh, it's okay.

It's okay, Graham,
it's all right.

They've gone away.

Shh, that's it.

[Control Voice]
The will to live
is part of our biology.

It exists in every cell
in our very DNA.

Of course, sheer will
can't keep us alive forever.

But sometimes, it can give us
a second chance.
