War of the Worlds (2019–…): Season 2, Episode 5 - Episode #2.5 - full transcript

What if we don't find Bill Ward
before he releases the virus?

We have to find him,
or we have no future.

- We lost the virus.
- It's in Emily. It's in her blood.

I hate him for
what he did to you.

- No.
- Hey. Come on.

We need to get to London.

What's in London?

Him.

Where
have you come from?

I was at the leisure centre
at Mile End. We were attacked.

Do you want to see something?



She's one of them.

Here.

Hey. I think I see
your Professor.

He was teaching at Tythehurst
College when he wrote the book.

Have you thought about what we're
going to do if we can't find him?

We have to.

That isn't really an answer.

Do you
think Isla's dead?

If she is, there's
nothing we can do for her.

- She's our sister.
- We have to find Bill Ward

and stop him releasing the
virus or we'll all be dead.

We can mourn Isla
when it's over.

So, you want to go
looking for this girl?

The biological weapon
is in Emily's blood.



I was testing it on her.

This girl, you're
saying she's an alien?

Part alien.

Or human.

Depending on which
way you look at it.

Have you seen
the things they do?

Ain't fucking human.

And you can't make any more
of this biological weapon?

No. It'll take months
before it's ready,

by which time we'd
all be wiped out.

We have to find Emily.

So where is she?

We were in
a cinema. Not far.

You wanna risk
your life for this prick?

You're not risking
your life for me.

It's for every man, woman
and child who's still alive.

This is our last chance.

All right. I'll take you.

Thanks. Thanks very much.

Come on. Get your shit
together. Let's go.

I haven't got any
shit. It's just me.

They're out of cola bottles.

It's bullshit.

I found this in your pocket.

Whose blood is this?

It's mine. I cut myself...

Where?

Show me.

Did you kill Ash?

What?

What are you talking about?

Don't talk to me like that!

And don't lie to me...

I didn't mean to...

I promise, mum.

I really didn't mean to.

Sacha...

Bill wanted to take Emily to a lab so
he could keep experimenting on her.

I had to stop him.

What is that to do with Ash?

Ash walked in on us.
There was a fight.

I didn't mean to kill him.

It was an accident...

What about Bill?

What did you do with his body?

He's alive. He ran away.

What do you think the others will do
when they find out you killed Ash?

They think the
aliens killed him.

And if he comes back and
tells them it was you?

I was doing it for Emily.

I love her.

You barely know her.

This is crazy.

You kill someone because you
like some girl you just met?

I don't expect
you to understand.

Oh yeah?

So make me understand.

We have to go.

We have to leave before the
others realise what you did.

I'm not going anywhere
without Emily.

They will kill you, Sacha.

I won't be able to stop
them. We have to go.

You go if you want to.

I'm staying.

I won't let you become
like him, like your father.

I won't let that happen...

I'm not a child any more. You
can't make me do anything.

Sacha. Please...

You want me to choose
between you and Emily?

Okay.

I choose her.

Hey.

Thanks.

What is it?

Do you feel bad about
trying to kill Bill?

Yes.

Why did you do it?

They got inside my head.

They made me feel like
I was one of them.

Why do you think it's just
us that can sense them?

I don't know.

Maybe what we have is special.

It doesn't feel very special.

It does to me.

I wouldn't change it.

I wouldn't change anything.

What did you get?

Pick and mix.

There were no cola bottles.

- Seriously?
- Yeah.

The world's gone to shit.

They're coming.

They're here. We've got to go.

Go, go, go! Come on. Come on.

The insulin. I
forgot the insulin.

I'll go. I'll catch you up.

Go.

Come on. Go.

Go, go. Come on. Go.

Go, go, go.

I got it.

- They got away.
- Did you see Bill Ward?

No.

I saw Emily.

Is she one of us or one of them?

She's one of us.

How can that be?

I don't know.

Either they're
dead or they got away.

We have to find them.

We have to find Emily.

And how do we do that?

Hey, look, you're welcome to
hang around and look for her,

but you're doing it on your own.

Watch the street.

There's something
I wanna show you.

This is my daughter,

Ella.

She died in the attack.

It's her birthday.

She would've been six.

What happened?

They were all over the cinema.

Have they got the girl?

I don't know.

So what's the plan now?

Without Emily, there is no plan.

We're screwed.

That's great.

Why is he beating her?

Would have been his
daughter's birthday today.

This is wrong.

This is so wrong.

You wanna release a biological
weapon that's gonna kill them all.

And that's okay, is it?

It's the only chance we have.

What he's doing isn't right.

They killed his wife,
killed his daughter.

Why don't you go in there
and tell him it's wrong?

Oh, I wanna see this.

Go on.

- Do it.

No?

Didn't think so.

Prick.

Come on!

Wow, you really
beat the shit out of it.

- Don't touch me.
- Woah!

What's going on?

Fuck off and leave me alone.

Why is that so hard for you?

Because I care about you.

Oh, you care about me?

You do?

The only reason why we're together
is because everyone else is dead.

Don't pretend this is
something. It's not.

I'm not pretending.

Why are you being like this?

I am so bored of all this shit.

I am bored of being scared.

I'm bored of
worrying about Sacha.

Sometimes I want to put a gun in
my mouth and pull the trigger.

Don't say that.

Don't say that.

Please don't say that.

How much do we have left?

Enough for now.

- What if we can't find any more?
- We'll find some.

I promise.

Catherine.

His name isn't on any of the
offices, or list of classes.

You think it's the
wrong university?

He wrote the book 5 years ago.

Maybe this whole
thing was crazy.

I wanted to believe we
could change things.

Because I needed to
believe something.

Is
anyone out there?

Please respond.

Can anyone hear me?

Just trying to make contact
with one of the other units.

No one's responding.

Maybe they're all dead.

Thank you.

You are with Sacha now?

I'm not exactly with him.

So what is it?

I don't know.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

There are boys like
Sacha in the militia.

You need to be careful.

What do you mean?

Some people have a dark heart.

- You don't know him.
- And you do?

He's not the person
you think he is.

You want me to take
the first watch?

No.

You should get some sleep.

You think I was wrong to
make us come to London?

It doesn't matter what
anyone else thinks.

That's not fair.

You know why Sophia went
along with your crazy plan?

Because you needed it.

It was for you, because
you're so screwed up

you can't even cry when
the man you love dies.

You promised her that you'd make
a better future for our baby.

I tried.

Was it really about our baby,

or was it a mathematical problem

something you wanted to solve?

Don't worry.

It's not the first time
you've let her down.

You've never been
there for her...

I'll wake you in two hours.

I was
looking for you.

Sacha.

What is it?

We're meant to be
together. We've seen it.

How have we seen it?

I don't know.

I think it's bigger than us.

We have to trust our feelings.

I know you feel it too.

Everything is gonna be all
right if we're together.

I promise.

Maybe this was always
going to happen.

We should be together.

I saw a light.

It might be our professor.

There were people living here.

Catherine?

You think he killed himself?

Looks that way.

He bandaged his wrist?

Maybe he changed his mind.

Don't shoot it! Don't shoot it!

What is that?

I don't know.

We have to go.

Wait.

Should you be doing this?
What about the baby?

Don't worry. It's okay to carry
dead bodies in your first trimester.

You think he'd just had enough?

I guess so...

I'll check the rest
of the building.

This data is full of the same
constants that appear in the notebook.

You planning on
getting any sleep?

You're awake.

Can you find your own people?

You're letting me go?

Well, it's either
that or I shoot you.

And that would be

a strange thing to do.

Why did you help me?

What he did to you in there,

nobody deserves that.

When I was sleeping,

were you gonna take
the gun and shoot me?

Yes.

I save your life

and you try to kill me?

Why do you hate us?

- It won't make sense to you.
- No, no, no. Try me.

What do you want?

Why did you come here?

I won't betray my people.

You can go.

I'm not gonna stop you.

My stomach.

Do you mind if I examine you?

Jesus.

He was kicking me.

He wouldn't stop.

I think you have a haematoma.

I'll go and see if I can
find some painkillers.

Here.

I've got to go somewhere.

Zoe?

Zoe, are you out there?

Zoe, it's Bill.

Zoe.

Hungry?

Catherine?

Hey.

Hey.

What time is it?

Just after nine.

How's your new pet?

Did you give it a name?

No.

He looks like a Bob.

Bob is really smart.

All this data.

It took me all night to
figure out what it is.

- What is it?
- Watch.

Wait. You're going to
hit Bob with a hammer?

Look at the screen...

It's analysing my movement.

Not just my actual movement.

It's calculating every possible
movement I could make...

Look.

This.

Or this.

Or this.

It's calculating all the
possibilities in an instant.

And this makes Bob smart?

His sensors work
on a quantum level.

I can feed this data into
the formulas in the notebook.

It should help me
understand them.

So you and Bob are
working together now?

Yes.

He's my assistant.

Don't know if anyone's
ever gonna see this, but...

Well, it's two days
since the attack.

The Internet's down,

so we don't have any way of finding
out what's going on out there.

We have food, water and power.

So, erm,

I guess we're doing okay.

Lilly, do you wanna
say something?

No. I don't
know what to say.

Just say how you're feeling.

I'm scared.

I miss my mum and
dad, my friends.

I hate not knowing
what's happened to them.

Hey, hey, hey. It's okay.

We're safe.

Day three.

We're hanging in there.

Every day, it gets
a little bit harder.

I guess this is the last
time I record one of these.

They say your whole
life flashes before you

just before you die.

What if it's just one life?

One life of infinite
possible other lives.

Every time we make a choice,

we start a new path.

What if you also continue

on the other path?

There's a path where I made

different choices.

I'm sorry, Lilly.

I'm so sorry.

I love you.

Is anyone out there?

Zoe, can you hear me?

- Bill, where are you?
- I'm in an apartment.

I went back to the leisure
centre to get a radio.

What happened to
you? Ash is dead.

Yeah. Sacha...

He tried to kill me.

He killed Ash.

He stabbed him.

It was Sacha?

He stabbed Ash.

I went back to the cinema.
They were all over it.

I thought they'd got you.

We got out.

What about Tom?

Yeah, he's fine.

And Emily?

Yeah, she's safe.

We're giving her insulin.

Listen, you've got to get her to my old
lab so that I can extract the virus.

They're not gonna
let me just take her.

I'll have to get her
away from the others.

Okay. God, it's good
to hear your voice.

We should conserve
our batteries.

I'll let you know as
soon as I've got Emily.

Okay. Over and out.

Bill, no one really says that.

Okay. Right.
