Original subtitles

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.

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.
