The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 3, Episode 6 - Dark Rain - full transcript

SECURITY
DETAIL TO THE LOBBY,

ATTEN-HUT!

COLONEL LOGAN
TO LEVEL FOUR,

LET'S BEGIN,

THANK YOU, SIR,

I BELIEVE WE ALL HAVE UPDATED
METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS,

DARK RAIN IS NOW FALLING
ON EVERY CONTINENT,

WE ESTIMATE THAT
THE TERADOXYN EXPOSURE

IN THE HUMAN POPULATION IS
BETWEEN 95 AND 97%,

MY GOD,

IN THE MIDDLE
EASTERN REGIONS



WHERE TERADOXYN CONTAMINATION
WAS FIRST DETECTED,

THE BIRTH RATE OF VIABLES
HAS ALREADY FALLEN

TO NEAR ZERO,

- VIABLES?
- THE FEW BIRTHS...

THAT HAVE OCCURRED
IN THE AFFECTED AREAS

HAVE BEEN MUTATIONS, SIR,

UM, GENETICALLY DAMAGED,
NOT CONSIDERED TO BE VIABLE,

SO, YOU'RE TELLING ME THAT

THE WHOLE DAMN HUMAN RACE

IS BECOMING STERILE?

WE SHOULD REACH
ZERO POPULATION GROWTH

IN A MATTER OF MONTHS,

HOW COULD IT
HAVE SPREAD?

I ALERTED THIS COMMITTEE TO
THIS POSSIBILITY 18 MONTHS AGO,



THE ADMINISTRATION IS
AWARE OF YOUR THEORY,

IT IS NOT A THEORY,
IT'S A FACT,

THE UNREPORTED EXCHANGE
OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS

IN THE MIDDLE EAST

WAS FAR WORSE
THAN THE GULF WAR,

THE CHEMICALS USED
WERE DESIGNED TO BECOME INERT

AND DEGRADE
IN THE ATMOSPHERE,

BUT INSTEAD THEY COMBINED
TO BECOME A NEW CHEMICAL

AND START
A CHAIN REACTION,

DOCTOR, THE DATA IS
INCONCLUSIVE,

THERE'S PROBABLY TRACES
OF TERADOXYN

IN THAT GLASS OF WATER

YOU JUST POURED,
DOCTOR,

AND YOU KNOW IT,

WHO OR WHAT IS
RESPONSIBLE

IS NOT AT ISSUE HERE,

THE PEOPLE DESERVE TO KNOW THAT
WE BROUGHT THIS ON OURSELVES,

WHAT THE PEOPLE DESERVE,
DR, GOLDING,

ARE SOLUTIONS,
NOT SPECULATION,

IF WE SHARE WHAT WE KNOW
WITH THE SCIENTIFIC COMMUNITY...

THE POLITICAL FALLOUT

IF IT WAS PERCEIVED
THAT WE CAUSED THIS...

WE DID CAUSE THIS,

YOU WILL REVEAL NOTHING,

NOT TO ANYONE
IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM,

YOU'RE ASKING ME
TO FIGHT THIS PLAGUE

WITH ONE ARM
TIED BEHIND MY BACK,

I'M ADVISING YOU
OF YOUR OPERATIONAL PARAMETERS,

THAT IS THE OLD WAY
OF WORKING,

REVELATION OF YOUR THEORY
WILL BE CONSIDERED TREASONOUS

BY THIS ADMINISTRATION,

WELL, THEN,

I RESIGN AS HEAD OF THIS...

I ACCEPT,

EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY,

MAJOR ROYCE,

I HAVE THE PRESIDENT'S
AUTHORIZATION TO MAKE YOU

CHAIR OF
THE REPRODUCTIVE BOARD

WITH ALL THE POWERS NECESSARY
TO ENFORCE YOUR POLICY,

I DON'T HAVE TO REMIND YOU
WHAT'S AT STAKE,

WE'LL FIND
A CURE, SIR,

YOU HAVE NO CHOICE,

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,

EVERY CHILD BORN IS LINKED
IN A CHAIN

TO GENERATIONS PAST
AND FUTURE,

BUT WHAT HAPPENS
WHEN THAT CHAIN IS SNAPPED?

OKAY, SETTLE DOWN,

I KNOW IT'S THE LAST DAY

AND I PROMISED NOT
TO KEEP YOU HERE FOR LONG,

BUT I JUST WANTED TO REMIND YOU

THAT YOU ALL HAVE TO REGISTER
AT THE REPRODUCTIVE BOARD,

YOU'VE ALL BEEN TOLD
SINCE YOU WERE LITTLE BABIES

JUST HOW SPECIAL YOU ARE,

WE'RE THE LAST KIDS,

THAT'S RIGHT,

THAT'S A BIG RESPONSIBILITY,
I KNOW,

BUT THE REPRODUCTIVE BOARD
NEEDS YOU TO REGISTER SO THAT...

WE KNOW,

OKAY, JOE,

YOU KNOW
THE PRACTICAL REASONS,

YOU'VE SEEN THE VIDEOS AND
LISTENED TO THE BOARD MEMBERS,

IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE TESTED
FOR YOUR FERTILITY RATING

AND TO BECOME SEXUALLY ACTIVE
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

WITH SOMEONE
IN YOUR SAME GROUPING,

BUT WE NEVER TALKED ABOUT
OTHER REASONS IT'S IMPORTANT,

AND SINCE IT'S MY LAST DAY
WITH YOU...

WHAT OTHER REASONS?

WELL, FOR EXAMPLE, THE ONES
THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO ME,

I BECAME A TEACHER
BECAUSE I LOVE CHILDREN,

I'D JUST BECOME
A TEACHER

AROUND THE TIME THE DARK RAIN
STARTED FALLING, SO...

SO NOW YOU'RE OUT OF A JOB,
MY DAD SAID,

YOUR FATHER'S RIGHT,

BUT SO ARE
A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE,

AND I DON'T JUST
MEAN TEACHERS,

WITHOUT CHILDREN BEING BORN,
THE ECONOMIES OF THE WORLD

AREN'T ABLE TO PLAN JOBS...

WELL, YOU'LL LEARN MORE
ABOUT THAT NEXT YEAR,

I STILL HOPE THE TIME WILL COME
WHEN BEING A MOTHER WILL BE...

THE MOST IMPORTANT JOB
IN THE WORLD,

OKAY,

I PROMISED YOUR PARENTS

I'D JUST BE HANDING OUT
REPORT CARDS, SO...

THEY'RE PROBABLY WAITING
OUTSIDE,

REPORT CARDS?

DON'T WORRY,

YOU'VE ALL DONE REALLY WELL,

I'M VERY, VERY PROUD OF YOU,

SO THIS IS, UM...
THIS IS GOODBYE,

I'LL MISS YOU ALL
VERY MUCH,

GOODBYE, MRS, McALLISTER,

BYE, MRS, McALLISTER,

WE'LL MISS YOU,

ANOTHER NWA
HIDEOUT IN THE CITY

WAS DESTROYED
BY FEDERAL AUTHORITIES

IN A SURPRISE RAID TODAY,

SUCH HIDEOUTS HAVE BEEN
SUSPECTED BY THE GOVERNMENT

TO BE COVERT STAGING AREAS
FOR TERRORIST ACTIVITY,

THE NEW WORLD ARMY
SPOKESPERSON DENIED ANY
WRONGDOING,

MOST OF US HAVE
NO PLACE TO GO,

WE'RE NOT TERRORISTS,
WE JUST WANT TO DIE IN PEACE,

WE WANT OUR FREEDOM,

WHAT IS WRONG
WITH THOSE PEOPLE?

THE NWA?

THEY BLAME
THE GOVERNMENT
FOR THE DISASTER,

YEAH, BUT WHY TERRORISM?

IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE,

WE'RE SUPPOSED
TO BE CELEBRATING

THE FIRST DAY
OF SUMMER VACATION,

YOU'RE RIGHT,

I AM SO SORRY,

WHAT WAS I THINKING?

DID YOU TALK
TO YOUR FRIEND?

YEAH,

THERE WAS A BIG BUST
ON THE NORTH SHORE,

SO THE STREET PRICE
HAS GONE UP, BUT...

YOU KNOW, WE DON'T REALLY NEED
TO USE THIS,

I MEAN, THE ODDS OF YOU
GETTING PREGNANT...

ARE ABOUT
A MILLION TO ONE,

BUT JUST
THE THOUGHT

OF CONCEIVING
A MUTATION...

THAT'S ALL RIGHT,

IT'S ALL RIGHT,

I DON'T MIND,

LOOK AT
THE EXPIRATION DATE

ON THIS ONE,

IT'S NOW OR NEVER,

I LOVE YOU,

I LOVE YOU TOO,

SHERRY?

SHERRY,
WHAT'S WRONG?

SHERRY,
WHAT IS IT, BABY?

WHAT'S WRONG, HONEY?

TIM, I'M SCARED,

OKAY,

GO IN NOW?

HI,
HI,

DID YOU FILL OUT
THE PAPERWORK?

YEAH,

DO YOU FEEL
BETTER?
I THREW UP AGAIN,

DID THEY GIVE YOU
ANYTHING?

THEY'VE JUST TAKEN
FLUIDS OUT OF ME,

THEY HAVEN'T PUT ANY BACK,

I'M DYING OF THIRST,

TIM,

HI, I'M MARISA GOLDING,

DOCTOR,

YOU'RE SHERRY, AREN'T YOU?

I'M PREGNANT, AREN'T I?

LOOK, I KNOW YOU'RE FRIGHTENED,

I CAN'T DO IT,

I'VE SEEN THOSE BABIES,

THEY'RE HORRIBLY DEFORMED MUTANTS,
THEY JUST SUFFER,

NONE OF THE WARNING MARKERS
HAVE SHOWN UP IN YOUR SAMPLES,

BUT I AM, AREN'T I?

I'M GOING TO HAVE
A BABY,

YES... YES, YOU ARE,

I DON'T UNDERSTAND THIS,

WE WERE USING BIRTH CON...

IT'S ALL RIGHT, MR, McALLISTER,

I'M NOT A SUPPORTER
OF THE NEW REPRODUCTIVE LAWS,

I CAN'T DO THIS,

I WON'T DO THIS,

A HOSPITAL STAFF MEMBER
CALLED ME HERE

BECAUSE YOUR BLOOD AND URINE
SHOW NO WARNING MARKERS

OF TERADOXYN-RELATED
ANTIBODIES,

THAT'S EXTREMELY RARE,

WHAT'S THAT MEAN?

YOUR WIFE MAY BE CARRYING
A PERFECTLY HEALTHY CHILD,

MAY BE,

DOCTOR, THAT HASN'T HAPPENED
ANYWHERE IN 10 YEARS,

SO SPARE ME
THE HOPE SPEECH,

YOU'RE WRONG, SHERRY,

I'VE GIVEN IT
TO THE KIDS I TAUGHT

AND I KNEW
I WAS LYING THEN,

GOVERNMENT POLICY IS TO FORCE
ALL PREGNANCIES TO TERM

NO MATTER WHAT THEY FIND,

I'LL BE WITH YOU, HONEY,

TIM!
THIS IS WHAT I WAS AFRAID OF,

THIS WAS
MY WORST NIGHTMARE,

SHERRY,
I AM NOT WITH THE GOVERNMENT,

WHAT ROOM?

DID YOU TELL
ANYBODY ELSE HERE

THAT YOU THOUGHT
YOU MIGHT BE PREGNANT?

I DID, AT
THE FRONT DESK,

YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE
DONE THAT,

WHY?
WHAT'S WRONG?

I HAVE TO LEAVE,

COOPERATE WITH THEM
AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE,

WE'LL BE IN CONTACT
AGAIN,

WAIT, COOPERATE
WITH WHO?

I DON'T LIKE THIS,

NO, ME NEITHER,

TIM, I'M NOT STAYING,

YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T,
IT'S THE LAW!

PLEASE DON'T BE ALARMED,
MR, AND MRS, McALLISTER,

THESE MEN ARE ONLY HERE
FOR YOUR PROTECTION,

THERE'S BEEN A GREAT DEAL
OF NWA ACTIVITY

AROUND THE HOSPITAL,

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I AM DR, CLAYTON ROYCE,

I CHAIR THE FEDERAL
REPRODUCTIVE BOARD,

ALL I WANT IS TO GIVE YOU
AND YOUR UNBORN CHILD

THE VERY BEST OF MEDICAL CARE
THAT THIS COUNTRY HAS TO OFFER.

I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE A SCHOOLTEACHER,
MS, McALLISTER,

USED TO BE, I JUST TAUGHT
MY LAST CLASS,

YOUR LAST CLASS,

IT'S MORE THAN TRAGIC,

BUT YOU CAN HELP
TO CHANGE IT,

WHAT'S THIS?

IT'S JUST A NUTRITIONAL
SUPPLEMENT FOR THE CHILD,

WHY AM I SO SLEEPY?

HA,
YOU CAUGHT ME,

IT'S ALSO
A MILD SEDATIVE,

TO HELP YOU RELAX ON
OUR WAY TO THE FACILITY,

YOU MUST BE SCARED STIFF
OF HAVING THIS CHILD,

AND WITH GOOD REASON,

I WON'T DENY IT,

OF THE RELATIVELY SMALL
NUMBER OF BIRTHS

THAT HAVE OCCURRED
OVER THE LAST DECADE,

NOT ONE HAS BEEN VIABLE
ANYWHERE,

BUT ISN'T THE SURVIVAL
OF THE HUMAN SPECIES

REASON ENOUGH
TO TRY?

GOD, TIM,

YOURS COULD BE
THE ONE, SHERRY,

SOMETHING YOU SAY
TO EVERY MOTHER?

DO YOU THINK THAT AS HEAD

OF ARGUABLY THE MOST IMPORTANT
BRANCH OF THE GOVERNMENT

I RUSH
TO THE LOCATION

OF EVERY CONFIRMED
PREGNANCY?

IN THE U, S, ALONE, THERE ARE
STILL HUNDREDS EVERY YEAR,

THOUSANDS WORLDWIDE,

NONE SUCCESSFUL,

SO, I'M SPECIAL,

YES, YOU ARE,

WATCH
YOUR STEP NOW,

EASY NOW,

THAT'S IT,

I'LL LEAD THE WAY,

SERGEANT WATERS
TO CONFERENCE ROOM 210,

THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY ATTACKS
ON FEDERAL BUILDINGS

WE'VE HAD TO TAKE
EXTRA PRECAUTION,

NWA?

THEY'RE GETTING
MORE DARING,

BUT YOU WILL BE
SAFE HERE,

YVETTE WILL SHOW YOU
TO YOUR ROOMS,

I SHOULD GET BACK
TO OUR PLACE

AND PICK UP
SOME OF OUR THINGS,

IT'S ALL BEING
TAKEN CARE OF,

IS THERE ANYTHING SPECIAL
THAT OUR PEOPLE CAN GET FOR YOU?

I STILL HAVE TO GO TO WORK,

YOU ARE 50% OF THIS PUZZLE,
MR, McALLISTER,

WE WILL BE REQUIRING
THAT YOU

STAY WITH US AS WELL
DURING THE PREGNANCY,

NO WAY, I NEED THAT JOB,

I CAN'T JUST...

YOU'LL BE MORE THAN
FAIRLY COMPENSATED,

IN FACT, IF SHERRY HAS
A HEALTHY CHILD,

YOU'LL NEVER HAVE
TO WORK AGAIN,

YOU'LL PAY US?

YOU COULD SAY
YOU'VE WON THE LOTTERY,

I'LL SEE YOU BOTH

WHEN YOU'VE HAD A CHANCE
TO SETTLE IN,

WELCOME, MRS, McALLISTER,

MR, McALLISTER,
AND CONGRATULATIONS,

OUR STAFF WILL BE
AT YOUR DISPOSAL

24 HOURS A DAY,

WE'LL DO
EVERYTHING WE CAN

TO MAKE CERTAIN THAT
YOUR STAY WITH US

IS A PLEASANT ONE,

THE FATIGUE
YOU'RE EXPERIENCING
DOESN'T LAST

FOR THE ENTIRE
PREGNANCY,

WHO'S SHE?

WE'RE NOT AT LIBERTY
TO DISCUSS OTHER PATIENTS,

THERE ARE
OTHER WOMEN HERE?

DR, ROYCE WILL ANSWER
YOUR QUESTIONS LATER,

I HOPE YOU FIND THIS
COMFORTABLE,

HOW MUCH IS IT
A NIGHT?

YOU HAVE A BUSY DAY
AHEAD OF YOU,

DR, ROYCE HAS ORDERED
A NUMBER OF TESTS,

SO I SUGGEST YOU GET
A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP,

SHERRY, THIS COULD BE
YOUR DREAM,

YOU'VE WANTED THIS
ALL YOUR LIFE,

WE BOTH HAVE,

NOT THIS,

WHAT IF HE'S RIGHT?
YOU COULD BE THE ONE,

IT'S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME,

WHY NOT TO YOU?

IT WOULD HAVE
TO HAPPEN

TO SOMEBODY
EVENTUALLY,

I CAN'T IMAGINE
A BETTER MOTHER,

WHAT IF THEY'RE WRONG?

I'M HAPPY TO SAY

THE RESULTS ALL LOOK
VERY PROMISING,

WHAT'S WRONG?

IS IT THE TESTS?

IT'S NOT JUST THE TESTS,

TIM, I WANT TO GO HOME,

WE CAN'T, LOVE,

LOOK, THEY SAID YOUR EMOTIONS

WOULD BE
ALL OVER THE PLACE,

DON'T BLAME MY HORMONES
FOR THIS,

WE'RE PRISONERS, TIM,

YOU JUST DON'T SEE IT
BECAUSE THEY'RE OFFERING MONEY,

THAT'S NOT FAIR,

THEY HAVE POKED
AND PRODDED ME TOO,

JUST HAVE TO TELL ROYCE
HE'S PUSHING TOO HARD,

I'LL TELL HIM
MYSELF,

SHERRY,

SHERRY!

SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN
TO STARTLE YOU,

I'M SHERRY,
I'M JUST DOWN THE HALL,

JUST LEAVE ME ALONE,
ALL RIGHT?

I JUST THOUGHT, WE'RE
BOTH IN THE SAME SITUATION...

NO, WE'RE NOT!

I HEAR THEM
WHISPERING ABOUT YOU,

THEY SAY YOU'RE THE ONE,

EXCUSE ME?

THEY SAY YOU'RE CARRYING
THE GOOD CHILD,

THE PERFECT CHILD,

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE,

THEY SAID THAT ABOUT ME
AT FIRST,

BUT PRETTY SOON
THEY STOPPED,

THEY STOPPED SAYING
ANYTHING AT ALL,

THEY'LL MAKE YOU GO THROUGH
WITH IT, YOU KNOW,

NO MATTER WHAT THEY FIND OUT
IN A MONTH,

THEY WON'T TELL YOU
ANYTHING,

BUT YOU'LL KNOW!

I'M GOING TO CALL SOMEONE,

HELLO!
HELP, SOMEBODY!

I DON'T WANT TO GO
THROUGH WITH THIS,

GOD, PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME
GO THROUGH WITH IT!

SOMEBODY!

HELP!

McALLISTER, GO BACK
TO YOUR ROOM, NOW!

HER WATER JUST BROKE,

SHE'S PROBABLY
ALREADY FULLY DILATED,

NO TIME TO TAKE HER
TO THE DELIVERY ROOM,

IT'LL ALL BE OVER
IN A MINUTE,

I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT!

SWEETHEART, BREATHE, BREATHE,

PLEASE DON'T LET ME SEE IT!

DON'T SHOW ME,
I DON'T WANT TO SEE IT!

I'LL GIVE HER SOMETHING
FOR THE PAIN,

IT'S IN TOO BIG A HURRY
TO BE BORN,

THE ANESTHETIC WON'T HAVE TIME
TO TAKE EFFECT,

YOU'LL GO TO HELL
FOR THIS,

I SWEAR TO GOD!

NOW PUSH,

PUSH,
PUSH, PUSH,

THAT'S GOOD,

YOU'RE DOING GREAT,
YOU'RE DOING GREAT,

COME ON,
ONE MORE PUSH,

PUSH,
PUSH HARDER,

I DON'T CARE,

I CAN'T,

YES, YOU CAN,
PUSH!

PUSH!

I HATE YOU!

SCISSORS,

GIVE ME A TOWEL,
TOWEL!

DAMN!

WHO THE HELL
LET HER IN HERE?

WHAT HAPPENED?

SHH,
YOU'RE OKAY NOW,

GOD, TIM, IT WAS HORRIBLE,

DON'T THINK
ABOUT IT,

I WON'T BRING SOMETHING
LIKE THAT INTO THE WORLD,

YOU SHOULD NOT
HAVE HAD TO SEE THAT,

I'M SORRY,

WHO ARE YOU?

THIS IS
GRANT, HON,

HE BROUGHT
YOU BACK HERE,

HE TOLD ME
WHAT HAPPENED,

I WANT TO END THIS PREGNANCY,

WELL, WE CAN'T DO THAT,

IN TIME, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND,

WHO ARE YOU TELLING ME
WHAT TO DO WITH MY BODY?!

A FRIEND,

SHERRY, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

COME BACK TO BED,

I'M LEAVING,

WHAT?

I'M NOT GOING
THROUGH THAT,

ROY SAID THAT
WON'T HAPPEN
TO OUR BABY,

WOULD YOU KNOW
IF HE WAS LYING?

I WON'T HAVE
A JOB,

OUR APARTMENT
ISN'T OURS ANYMORE,

WHERE DO WE GO?

ANYWHERE, TIM,
IT DOESN'T MATTER,

IF YOU STILL THINK
YOU WON THE LOTTERY,

YOU CAN STAY,

NO!

IF IT'S WHAT YOU WANT,
THEN THAT'S WHAT WE'LL DO,

THANK YOU,

I KNOW THERE ARE STILL PLACES
WE CAN GET AN ABORTION,

WE HAVE TO FIND
A WAY OUT OF HERE FIRST,

THERE IS NO WAY OUT,

THERE ARE CAMERAS, SILENT ALARMS
IN ALL THE PATIENTS' ROOMS,

YOU'RE FAR TOO IMPORTANT
FOR US

TO LET YOU STROLL
OUT OF THIS FACILITY,

TIM, WE'RE GOING
TO DIE HERE,

NO, NO,

IN THE FIRST FEW YEARS,

WE DID LOSE BOTH MOTHER
AND CHILD IN CHILDBIRTH

NEARLY 30% OF THE TIME,

SO MUCH TO LEARN,
BUT NOT ANYMORE,

YOU CAN LEAVE, THANK YOU,

WE WANT
TO LEAVE TOO,

IF YOU DID THAT,

IF YOU TERMINATED
THIS PREGNANCY,

YOU WOULD BE
COMMITTING

NOT JUST A CRIME,

YOU'D BE CONDEMNING HUMANKIND,

THAT'S A LIE!

I'M TELLING THE TRUTH,

THE WOMAN I SAW GIVE BIRTH
TO THAT... THING,

YOU TOLD HER THIS,

I TOLD HER THE TRUTH,

SHE LACKED SOME OF
THE WARNING MARKERS AT FIRST,

SIGNS OF MUTATION
SHOWED UP TOO LATE

FOR ME
TO TERMINATE THE PREGNANCY,

EVEN THEN, THERE WAS A CHANCE,

A CHANCE?

HOW COULD YOU MAKE HER
GO THROUGH THAT?

BECAUSE I AM RUNNING
OUT OF TIME, MRS, McALLISTER,

BECAUSE
TEN YEARS AGO

THE PRESIDENT
ASKED THAT I FIND AN ANSWER

TO THE WORST DISASTER
EVER TO BEFALL HUMANITY,

AND I HAVE FOUND... NOTHING,

UNTIL I FOUND YOU TODAY,

AS OF NOW, THE CHILD
INSIDE YOUR WOMB IS PERFECT,

AND I AM CONVINCED
THAT IT WILL BE BORN PERFECT,

I WILL SHARE WITH YOU
EVERYTHING THAT I KNOW ABOUT IT,

AND IT'LL BE MY CHILD?

OF COURSE IT WILL,
ALWAYS,

WE'LL STAY... ON ONE CONDITION,

IF YOU FIND ANY WARNING SIGNS
THAT THE BABY ISN'T...

I WILL AUTHORIZE
TERMINATION OF THE PREGNANCY,

YOU CAN DO THAT?

I'M THE ONLY MAN WHO CAN,

I WILL,
I GIVE YOU MY WORD,

THAT'S HOW CONFIDENT I AM,

IF WE DON'T
BELIEVE YOU?

WELL, I'M SORRY, SHERRY,

BUT WE RAN OUT OF OPTIONS
LONG AGO,

ONE CHILD ISN'T ENOUGH
TO SAVE HUMANITY,

BUT YOU'RE
THE FIRST

RAY OF HOPE
THAT WE'VE HAD IN TEN YEARS,

AND I WON'T
GIVE YOU UP,

PLEASE,

HONEY?

SQUEEZE MY HAND,

THE BABY'S
HEART RATE IS...

KEEP BREATHING, HONEY,

PUSH!

COME ON, HONEY!

COME ON, MRS, McALLISTER,

SQUEEZE MY HAND,

GOOD,

KEEP BREATHING,

IT'S COMING!

YOU CAN DO IT!

PUSH!

NOW STOP PUSHING, STOP!

THAT'S IT, GOOD,

IT'S A BOY,

IT'S A PERFECT,
PERFECT BABY BOY,

IT'S PERFECT!

SUCCESS! WE HAVE A BABY!

CONGRATULATIONS,

THANK YOU,

I WANT TO HOLD HIM,

WHERE ARE YOU TAKING HIM?

DR, ROYCE!

WE CAN'T RISK THE POSSIBILITY
THAT SHE MIGHT

EXPOSE HIM
TO TERADOXYN,

HE MAY NOT HAVE
INHERITED HER IMMUNITY,

THAT IS OUR BABY!

TIM!

TIM!

WHAT ARE
THEY DOING?

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

TIM!

CALM DOWN,

TIM, ARE YOU OKAY?

I THINK THEY GAVE ME SOMETHING,

COME HERE,

WHERE'S OUR BABY?

I'M SORRY
THAT HAD

TO HAPPEN, MR, McALLISTER,

I HOPED WE HAD
YOUR TRUST,

YOU TAKE OUR CHILD
AND TALK ABOUT TRUST?

WE WANT
TO SEE HIM,

AND YOU WILL,

BUT I WANT TO SHARE
WITH YOU THE GOOD NEWS,

WE'VE FOUND NO EVIDENCE

OF PHYSICAL DEFECT
OR DEFORMITY,

AND HE SEEMS
TO HAVE RETAINED

HIS MOTHER'S
IMMUNITY,

HE'S A BEAUTIFUL, HEALTHY BOY,

HE HAS YOUR EYES, TIM,

WE MUST SEE THAT FOR OURSELVES,

INDEED...
BUT THERE ARE SOME THINGS

THAT WE HAVE TO DISCUSS,

YOUR CHILD IS THE FIRST

FULLY NORMAL BIRTH
SINCE THE DISASTER,

WHICH MAKES HIM VERY SPECIAL,

AND IT MAKES YOU SPECIAL,

WHAT?

BY SOME MIRACLE, YOU HAVE
PRODUCED A PERFECT CHILD,

WHICH MEANS, OF COURSE,
THAT YOU CAN DO IT AGAIN,

HOPEFULLY SEVERAL TIMES,

AND IN THE FUTURE,

PERHAPS
EVEN WITH OTHER PARTNERS,

YOU'RE SAYING
THAT WE CAN'T LEAVE,

I ASSUME THAT YOU WANT
TO BE NEAR THE BABY,

YOU CAN UNDERSTAND
WHY HE MUST REMAIN,

HE IS OUR CHILD!

YOU DON'T DECIDE!

YES, I DO,

I MAKE ALL DECISIONS
REGARDING THE CHILD,

LET'S GET THAT
OUT OF THE WAY RIGHT NOW,

I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MY BABY,

PLEASE,

OF COURSE,

YOU WILL,
FOR REGULAR FEEDINGS...

WHEN IT'S TIME,

TIM,

TIM!

WAKE UP,

MORNING, FOLKS,

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

I'M WITH THE NWA,

YOU WANT TO BE FREE?

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

DON'T WORRY
ABOUT THE CAMERAS,

WE HAVE PEOPLE
IN SECURITY,

YOU WANT TO BE PRISONERS
OR DO YOU WANT FREEDOM?

WITH OUR BABY,

THAT'S THE IDEA,

WE WANT OUT,
WELL, THEN
GET DRESSED,

WE MUST LEAVE BEFORE
DR, ROYCE ARRIVES,

THIS IS THE NURSERY
FOR THE MUTATIONS

THAT SURVIVED
PAST CHILDHOOD,

MY GOD,

COME ON,

TIM,
THIS IS HORRIBLE,

MY GOD,

IS THAT OUR BABY?

TIM,

THEY'VE CHANGED THE CODE,

LET ME,

GO! GO!

I'LL TAKE CARE OF SECURITY,

SHH, MAMA'S GOT YOU NOW,

OKAY,

OKAY, LET'S GO!

GO! GO!

WHAT NOW?

WE LOST TWO PATIENTS
IN THE HIGH-RISK WING,

YOU'LL BE GOING OUT INSTEAD,

IN A COFFIN?
NO, NO,

YOU WON'T BE INSIDE
LONGER THAN AN HOUR,

TAKE OUR BABY IN THE COFFIN?

YOU PASSED
THE POINT OF NO RETURN

FIVE MINUTES AGO,

HONEY, THIS IS OUR ONLY CHANCE,

COME ON!

WHAT ABOUT YOU?

I'M COMING WITH YOU,

COME ON,

OKAY,

HONEY,

TIM, YOU TAKE
THAT COFFIN,

SHH,

CALM... CALM,

LET'S GO,

LET ME HELP YOU,

HELLO, SENATOR,

ISN'T IT WONDERFUL NEWS?

FANTASTIC,

WELCOME,

MR, AND MRS, McALLISTER?

YOU ALL RIGHT?

YEAH,

HE SLEPT
THE WHOLE TIME,

YOU MAY HAVE TO GET BACK INSIDE
IF WE HIT ANY ROADBLOCKS,

WHERE
ARE WE GOING?

YOU DON'T NEED TO KNOW THAT,

WE'VE A RIGHT TO KNOW,

LOTS OF PEOPLE ARE AT RISK,

WE'RE NOT OUT YET,

YOU DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING,

IT'S STAYING
THAT WAY,

ANYTHING'S BETTER
THAN THAT PLACE, TIM,

ANYTHING,

LET'S GO!

LET'S GO!

QUICKLY!

HERE, HONEY,
TAKE THE BABY,

OKAY, CLOSE IT UP,

MOVE IT OUT!

HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?

FIVE OR SIX HOURS!

WE'LL RUN OUT OF DIAPERS!

HERE,

WANT TO BURP HIM?

HERE, HERE,

YEAH,

OKAY,

WHAT DO I DO?

JUST THIS?

YEAH, NICE AND FIRM,

JUST GET THE BUBBLE UP,

ONLY BABY
IN THE WORLD,

AND I DON'T KNOW
WHAT I'M DOING,

YOU'LL HAVE TO
CARRY THE BABY

FROM HERE ON,

GOD,

IT'S
A LONG HIKE,

YOU UP FOR IT?

YEAH, I'LL BE OKAY,

WE HAVE TO STOP,

I CAN'T GO ANY FARTHER,

YOU DON'T HAVE TO,

THIS IS IT,

THIS IS IT?

I'LL SHOW YOU TO YOUR QUARTERS,

WATCH YOUR STEP,

YOU MADE IT,

I'M SO GLAD,

HELLO,

HOW...?

ALL THESE CHILDREN?

YES, WELL, IMMUNITY IS RARE,
BUT IT DOES HAPPEN,

AND WE CERTAINLY COULD USE
ANOTHER TEACHER,

I THOUGHT THE NWA WAS
A BUNCH OF...

TERRORISTS?

A LOT ARE EX-ARMY,

WE ARE TRYING TO DISTRACT
THE GOVERNMENT

FROM OUR REAL WORK,

THIS IS OUR REAL WORK,

WE'RE BUILDING A NEW SOCIETY,

ONE THAT WON'T MAKE
THE SAME MISTAKES

AS THE ONE
THAT'S DYING NOW,

I'M SORRY IT TOOK YOU
SO LONG TO GET HERE,

THE HOSPITAL...

WE TRY TO GET THERE FIRST,

SO HEALTHY KIDS ARE BEING BORN?

YES, THEY ARE,

THERE'S A WHOLE HANDFUL OF THEM
OUT THERE,

UNLESS THEY FIND US,

THEY'LL NEVER BE FREE,

ENTIRE LIVES WILL BE WASTED

TRYING TO REPOPULATE
AN OLD WORLD,

COULD I...
COULD I HOLD HIM?

YEAH,

HIS NAME'S JOEY,

JOEY?

JOEY, IS IT?

WELL, JOEY,

THE OLD REGIME'S TRYING
TO HANG ON,

BUT IT WON'T LAST,

IT'S ON ITS LAST LEGS,

ANOTHER 30 OR 40 YEARS,

THEY'LL ALL BE GONE,

YOU AND THE REST
OF THESE CHILDREN

WILL INHERIT THE EARTH,

CAN I SEE
THE NEW BABY?

JUST FOR A SECOND,

ONLY A FEW MORE HOURS
OF OUTSIDE TIME

BEFORE WE MUST RETURN
TO THE COMPLEX,

HI, I'M TESSA,

HI, TESSA,

ARE YOU THE NEW TEACHER?

I... GUESS I AM,

JUST AS WE
INHERITED THE EARTH OF OUR
FOREFATHERS,

WE TOO
WILL BEQUEATH THIS WORLD,

SO LONG AS THERE ARE CHILDREN
TO CLAIM THE INHERITANCE.
