War of the Worlds (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 3 - Episode #2.3 - full transcript
Without telling Emily or her parents anything, Bill decides with Zoe to test Emily the bioweapon he hopes he can use against the Aliens. Catherine, for her part, has had difficulty managing her grief since Mokrani's death. She now...
He's creating a virus
that will slaughter our people.
You can stop it from happening.
How?
You have to kill him.
She shares some of
the same mutations
as the aliens.
It feels like
they're inside my head.
Emily?
I'm looking for someone.
Professor Bill Ward.
This will terminate the
pregnancy in the first ten weeks.
Have you told Nathan?
No. It's better
if he never knows.
No!
Come.
This
is the building.
How do we find
this Professor Bill Ward?
We have to assume
he's some kind of scientist.
Well, you said
that if you had a live alien,
you could start
testing the virus.
Seems to me like you've got one.
I'm sorry.
What's wrong with me?
I-I don't know.
Maybe you contracted
something on the ship.
I'll check in on
you later. Okay?
We just wanna see her.
I'm sorry. That isn't
possible. SARAH: She's our daughter.
God, a few minutes.
That's all we're asking.
Bill, she's refusing
to let us see Emily.
Well, it might be for the best, Sarah,
until we figure out what's going on.
- Have you seen her?
- Yes.
- How is she?
- She's... She's okay.
What are you gonna do with her?
We'll hold her until we're
sure she isn't a threat.
We'll leave. We'll
take her away.
You won't ever see us
again. I swear to God.
- I'm sorry. That's not an option.
Why? Just let us take her.
She... She did try to kill me.
- Why would she do that?
- I don't know.
- Some kind of brainwashing maybe.
- We don't know what they did to her.
It's as much for her
protection as anyone's.
- I just wanna see her. Please.
- I'm sorry.
You have no idea what
it means to be a parent.
I'm trying to keep you
and your family alive.
Let's just figure out
what's best for Emily.
I'll take great care
of her. I promise.
Has the virus
taken hold yet?
She's getting sick.
It's beginning to work.
How soon until we know for sure?
When her organs
begin shutting down.
She's gonna need insulin.
I'll send Alex out
to try and find some.
Okay.
- Where did you find this?
In the foyer.
Thank you.
She hasn't really said
anything about the Colonel.
Yeah.
This is how she
deals with things.
She works.
It was the same when our parents
died. She buried her head in books.
And you?
What did you do?
I broke things and
I punched people.
When I was older,
I had a lot of sex and
did a lot of drugs.
Yeah.
What will you
do now you have lost Theo?
I won't become
that person again.
Kariem,
watch the exit.
Keep an eye.
Wait here.
Check the cupboards for insulin.
Scarlet?
Scarlet?
Scarlet?
Did you get it?
What?
- We lost someone.
- Who?
A girl. Scarlet.
They took her.
- Why would they take her?
- I don't know.
How's Emily?
In and out of consciousness,
getting weaker all the time.
The insulin will
make her better?
We have to see how the virus
progresses before we give it to her.
We have to let her
get really sick.
I know this is hard for you.
I had to look into Sarah's eyes
and lie about what I'm
doing to her daughter.
The virus is our only
chance of defeating them.
I can put a gun to your
head and make you do it.
- And then you can blame me.
- What age are you?
- 28.
- Jesus.
You don't need to
put a gun to my head.
Perhaps
you should take a break?
I'm fine.
You are so not fine.
Catherine.
Catherine.
- Stop.
- Why?
It's okay to be upset, to cry...
Why is everyone so
obsessed with crying?
Like if you sit around
crying all the time
it makes you a better person.
It achieves nothing.
You cry if you want to.
Okay.
Sophia.
Sophia. Sophia.
- I found him.
- Jesus.
He's a professor of Neurogenetics
at the University of London.
Don't do that to me.
We head towards Lyon
then Dijon, north to Troyes.
Reims, Arras
then to Calais.
When we're through
the Channel Tunnel,
it's about a hundred
kilometres to London.
You can't be sure
he's even alive?
The guy at the observatory,
he told me he was alive.
He said he had to be.
You want to risk our lives on
the word of a half dead alien?
Why would he lie?
Maybe he wasn't lying.
Maybe he's just wrong.
Maybe he was out of his
mind. You don't know.
I believed him.
It's hundreds of kilometres.
It's too dangerous.
You think it's safe here?
They came to the observatory
and killed everyone.
They killed them...
Catherine.
He said that we could change
everything. That it wasn't too late...
What does that even mean?
I don't know.
I think the answers are in here.
This is crazy.
What do you want to
do? You're so smart.
Maybe you want to wander around
with your rifle shooting them
until you have no bullets
left and then they kill us.
That's a great plan, genius.
I want to keep you
and Sophia safe.
Maybe the best way to do
that is to go to London,
and find this guy and
actually try and do something!
You're too stupid to see that!
She needs this.
You want to risk your
life because she needs it?
Maybe.
Yes. It's better than risking
your life for nothing.
He's creating a virus that
will slaughter our people.
Virus.
You infected me.
- You're going to kill them.
- They're gonna wipe us out.
This is our only
opportunity to defeat them.
Your wife wouldn't have
wanted you to hurt me.
Helen's dead.
And you did nothing to stop it.
I tried.
- It won't bring her back.
- You think I don't know that?
- I made her a promise.
- You know it's wrong.
You tried to kill me.
Why don't you come down
off your high horse?
Okay.
We'll go to London,
and try and find
this professor guy.
Really?
Yes.
Thank you.
You're not the only
one who's lost someone.
You don't have to
be a bitch about it.
Give me the backpack!
I'm sorry.
It's a car.
Stay here.
Shit.
Open the door!
Come on!
Is he dead?
Hold this, hold this.
- Medic.
Just breathe.
Why did they take you?
- Bill.
- What about him?
They wanted to know
if he was still alive.
- Why?
- I don't know.
My stomach...
It's okay, it's
okay. It's all right.
What is that?
They drugged me.
Okay.
I know, I know.
There's something in there.
What is it?
- We need to cut you open.
What? No.
- Scissors.
- No, please. No. I don't wanna die.
- No. Please.
- It's okay.
It's okay.
I know.
It's okay. I know.
Stop. No. Stop,
please. MAN: You're all right.
It's some kind of
metallic object.
- Shit.
Bill.
The virus.
It's in the lab.
Emily.
Where are you going?
Open.
Come on.
You're okay, we've
got you. Let's go.
Jesus...
Christ.
Emily?
- Is she okay? Is she okay?
- I don't know.
Go. Go. Go.
Go.
Did you find Bill Ward?
We checked all the bodies.
He must have escaped.
- And Emily?
- No.
Are you okay?
What's wrong?
They killed
the only man I've ever loved.
I don't know how I'm
supposed to feel...
I don't know what to do...
You feel like you
want the world to end.
Huh?
What can I do?
Nothing.
All you can do is cry.
Is she
okay? Are you okay?
Em? EMILY:
I'm really cold.
- Cold.
What's wrong?
Tell them.
Tell them what you did to me.
What's she talking about?
- Tell them.
- What did you do?
Sarah...
Emily shares some of the same
genetic mutations as... as them.
I needed a live subject.
- For what?
- To develop a virus.
- A biological weapon.
- You made her sick?
- You sick fuck...
- Whoa, whoa, whoa...
How could you do that?
I didn't have a choice.
They're going to wipe us out.
I had to do something.
I did it for you.
I did it for Tom. I
did it for everybody.
Fuck you, Bill!
Mum, don't.
You
experimented on my daughter.
You don't understand, Sarah.
I had to do something.
I trusted you.
- Sarah.
- I thought you were my friend.
- Come on, shoot him. Come on.
- Sarah.
How would you feel if
someone did that to Helen?
Huh?
- Or Dan?
- At least they'd still be alive.
Sarah.
This is insulin.
It'll make her better.
If you ever touch my daughter
again, I will kill you.
You okay?
You need to be somewhere else.
Thank you.
We found you in your car.
You should have left me.
You've lost people?
My whole family...
My daughters were in
Lille during the attack.
They never made it home.
My wife was killed
about three months ago.
Those things.
My son died last week.
The ones that look like us...
We thought they were
human. We didn't know.
They shot him.
I'm sorry.
There didn't seem any
point carrying on.
It's okay.
They're with me.
This is my sister, Sophia.
And this is Nathan. Victor.
- Hi.
- Hello.
Hello.
You want some wine?
Yes, thank you.
You okay?
You've been crying?
So have you asked him yet?
What?
Whether we can take his car?
Sophia.
How did you get it working?
Old cars have less electrical
circuits. They can be repaired.
We need to get to London.
What's in London?
Him.
Hey, found some lamps.
- Where's Sacha?
- He's with Emily. Hey.
What is this thing between them?
I've heard the creatures won't hurt
her, just like they won't hurt Sacha.
- Why is it just them?
- I don't know.
The things I see,
you see them too?
I thought I was going crazy.
Maybe we both are.
All the time we were searching,
I knew I had to find you.
When I saw you, I couldn't
believe it was you.
Hey.
Hey.
Why don't you go and
give your mum a hand,
see if you can find some
stuff to make some beds?
I want to stay with her.
I think your mum would
really like it if you helped her.
Go on. I've got this.
How are you feeling?
Better.
It's some snacks.
Chocolate, crisps.
Is anyone out there?
Can anyone hear me?
Here's some food.
I'll see if I can
find some painkillers.
We lost the virus.
It's in Emily.
It's in her blood.
We can still defeat them.
You can't sleep either?
Why's this happening to us?
I don't know.
I'm glad you're here.
It makes me feel better.
- Probably sounds stupid.
- No.
Emily, I feel like I know you.
It's so strange.
- It scares you?
- No.
No one else understands.
We have each other now.
Hmm.
You can take my car.
You should come with us.
I think I'll stay.
So you can blow your
brains out with a shotgun?
Are you religious?
No.
I had faith.
I believed there was a God.
Even as my family
died, I prayed.
I prayed
until there was no-one
left to pray for.
What kind of God
would let this happen?
You're asking the wrong person.
I'm a scientist.
But now you're risking
your life to go to London,
for reasons you don't
fully understand
because a man told you
he believed something?
That's an act of faith.
Maybe we all need
a little faith now.
Come with us.
Maybe this is all
part of God's plan.
You don't believe that.
You just don't want
me to kill myself.
True.
I think that's a
pretty good reason.
Come with us.
Please.
I'm so sorry about Theo.
How you were with him.
It made me so proud.
What's he doing in there?
Maybe he told us to wait outside
so that he could
finish what he started.
Thank you.
You like music?
She hates music.
I don't hate music.
You never listened to it.
That doesn't mean I hate it.
Then this is for you.
Do you realise.
That you have the most.
Beautiful face?
Do you realise.
We're floating in space?
Do you realise.
That happiness makes you cry?
Do you realise.
That everyone you know.
Someday will die?
that will slaughter our people.
You can stop it from happening.
How?
You have to kill him.
She shares some of
the same mutations
as the aliens.
It feels like
they're inside my head.
Emily?
