The War of the Worlds (2019) s03e05 Episode Script
Season 3, Episode 5
I just got off the video link
with someone at the Oxford Science Park.
Catherine entered the lab
while the particle accelerator
was running.
She collapsed and started fitting.
She's in the hospital. She's in a coma.
She was using the matrix I sent her.
- I think it worked.
- What do you mean?
I think she's there.
- Where?
- An alternate world.
What do you want from me?
My mum and dad
at a hospital in King's Cross.
Maybe there's nothing
you can do for them.
Just help me. Please.
It's Tom, Emily's brother.
Her name's Martha.
She was hiding her tattoo from me.
I think she's been drugging me.
You helped Bill Ward
escape from prison, didn't you?
Let me meet him
and I'll arrange to meet Martha.
Whatever it is they want, it's
because you are Emily's brother.
Put her down there.
- What were you doing to him?
- I was taking his blood.
For my brother. He's sick.
You're taking cells
from Tom's blood to treat him?
We're dying! Everyone will pay
for what you've done!
You're not planning
to survive the attack.
- Where are the others?
- I won't tell you.
Go! Go!
- She's gone.
- Yeah, we got her.
You did really well.
She's in the flats.
Are we going in?
The tracker's not precise enough
to tell us which flat she's in.
So what do we do?
We wait.
What's that?
I was running a transmission
test on the emergency frequency.
What's the source?
It's coming through the black hole.
That's impossible.
Radio waves shouldn't be able
to escape through a black hole.
Look at the readings.
How long have you been here?
- Is something wrong?
- You betrayed us.
- What do you mean?
- You led them to us.
You shouldn't have let him come with us.
He wanted to come.
They were going to kill me.
Tom helped me escape.
I didn't tell them anything.
- Then why are they here?
- I don't know.
They must have followed me.
- Because you let them.
- No. No.
Adina, don't. Please.
I'm pregnant.
It's not possible.
I'm going to have a baby.
Have you seen anyone yet?
No.
Have you got anything to drink?
Fuck! Go!
Go! Go!
Tom!
- Go. I'll cover you.
- Okay.
Get out of the car! Now! Move!
Move.
How bad is he?
I think the bullet
went straight through.
I don't want to die.
We're not going to let you die, okay?
Okay, okay.
Okay.
Hey, you have to be careful.
I tripped.
You could have hurt her.
You expect me to apologize?
Hey! What the fuck?
- Help us! Move!
- I brought breakfast
Oh, Jesus, Tom.
Jesus. Tom, what happened?
- They shot him.
- It hurts.
- Take this.
- It hurts.
Hey, I'm not a doctor,
but I'm pretty sure
he needs more than a few bandages
and a couple of aspirin.
You should have taken him to a hospital!
If he tells the police
where we are, it's over.
I'll take him to a hospital.
I'll hand myself in if I have to.
It's okay, Tom. Look at me. It's okay.
I'm not gonna let him die!
It's okay.
I'll call someone.
- A doctor?
- Yes, a doctor, Bill.
I need to rest.
You think we'll have
to live underground forever?
I don't know.
Black holes can last
for a billion years.
But it's slowly evaporating, right?
Yes.
You study science at college?
After it appeared, I
I got a book from the library.
I have to pee.
You're going to watch me?
No. Sorry.
Be careful not to
Don't go on my mum.
I'll do my best.
I can't go with you right there.
- Do you want me to sing?
- Maybe just talk.
About what?
Have you thought about what you'll do
if we get to King's Cross
and the hospital's not there?
It is there.
I know it is.
You want it to be.
Not the same as knowing it is.
You have a sister and a niece, right?
What would you do if it was them?
Even if there's the smallest
chance, I have to try.
I know they'd do the same for me.
They'd do anything to keep me safe.
I can't leave them to die.
I know.
Thank you.
There's definitely
some Cantonese in there.
What is that?
It could be atmospheric interference.
It's too regular and consistent
to be interference.
It is transmitting
through the black hole.
You think it's coming
from another reality?
If we reposition the EM sensors
to align with this black hole,
it should clear it up.
You want to go back out there?
You remember what happened last time.
Think of what the gravitational
waves can do to you.
We do it on the dark side orbit.
The earth will shield us
from the gravitational waves.
We have to move fast.
Forty-five minutes.
What do we tell mission control?
We tell them we're switching out
some batteries.
- I'll go.
- So you're doing chivalry now?
Maybe having sex
with you was a bad idea.
Call it.
He's a kid. How old is he?
Does it matter?
Can you fix him?
I guess we'll find out.
If I can't and he dies
You were never here.
Who is she?
She used to work
in a refugee camp in Syria.
We discovered
she was having a relationship
with an ISIS commander.
Pastry?
No, I don't want a fucking pastry.
Suit yourself.
You really care about Tom?
You've no idea.
Neither does he.
I didn't think it was possible.
We thought there was
no future for our people.
- There is no future!
- I'm pregnant.
How many babies have we lost?
We're dying.
Even if it survives,
one baby won't change that.
You can't tell Hiram.
He can't be distracted
from what needs to be done.
Promise me.
I didn't betray you.
I wouldn't do that.
There's something you should know.
Bill Ward was with them.
He was there.
Go!
How are you feeling?
Out of it.
That'll be the morphine.
Try to stay still.
You'll burst the stitches.
Zoe got a doctor to fix you up.
You're gonna be fine.
Would you
have really gone back
to prison to save me?
In a heartbeat.
There's not a day
that goes by that I don't
think about what I did.
How it affected you,
your mum, your dad.
If there had been any other way
I'm not asking you to forgive me.
I know you can't.
I I just
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Tom.
How am I doing for time?
Just over 10 minutes.
Oh, shit.
Fuck.
Oh, shit.
I need you to find me another one.
Take it from the MBUS.
Roger that.
You need to hustle.
You're out of time.
Get back to the airlock.
We can do it on the next orbit.
I'm almost there. I can make it.
Get out of there.
Richard, get back to the airlock.
Done!
Go ahead.
Move!
Richard, you need
to get back here right now.
Richard!
Richard?
Richard!
I'm in.
I'm okay.
Can I speak to
Dr. Catherine Durand, please?
Oh, I'm so sorry.
That will not be possible.
She's an old friend of mine.
She's
She must be out of range.
Yes, I understand.
Zoe!
Those scraps of paper
you found at the factory,
I know what they came from.
She came looking for me.
I remember her.
Why would they be studying
an academic paper
about the effects of the black hole?
I don't know.
I don't understand
most of what's in the paper.
It must be connected to
something that they're planning.
We should speak to Catherine.
We can't.
She's in a coma.
What happened?
She was conducting
some kind of an experiment.
She's in the hospital. In Oxford.
Hold on.
So, we'll be able to take
the Victoria line northbound.
Wouldn't it be
quicker to take the Northern line?
The Northern line's deeper.
The tunnels are flooded.
Okay.
What?
I hear something.
I think it's one of the creatures.
We'd better go.
I thought they were harmless now.
The ones down here aren't affected. Go!
The lights. Switch them off.
Are you okay?
Yeah, I think so.
What did you see?
Richard?
The space station was ripped apart.
We were sucked out into space.
We were drifting away from each other.
You think it happened?
In some sort of alternate reality?
If our consciousness is entangled
with the quantum world,
there's an infinite number
of possible outcomes.
There's no such thing as time.
Not in the way we think of it.
You mean what you saw
could be the future?
One possible future, yes.
You can hack into Catherine's
emails just like that?
If you've got the right software.
Hmm.
That's disturbing.
You're worried about civil liberties?
I need to rest.
Please.
Show us your wrists!
Your wrists! Hold them up.
We're human.
Are you armed?
Yes.
We're human!
Put whatever weapons
you have down on the ground.
- Is this the hospital?
- Yeah.
My parents. They need help. Please.
How long have they been like this?
Four weeks.
Can you help them?
We can try.
Where have you traveled from?
Charing Cross.
You must be tired.
- We are.
- This way.
The sooner we can start treating them,
the better the outcome.
I want to go with them.
No, you'll just get in the way.
They're in safe hands.
- Are you hungry?
- Yes.
Thirsty?
Sam.
The treatment, what do you do?
We use electro-convulsive therapy.
It's effective?
In most cases.
- Here.
- Thanks.
These are the people we've treated.
They're all here?
Some of them stay and help.
Others leave once they're better.
When will you know
if you can help my parents?
As soon we have any information
about your parents,
someone will come and tell you.
Thank you.
I didn't think we would make it.
I thought I was gonna watch them die.
Hey.
You did great.
They would be proud of you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry I made you come.
It's okay.
Maybe it worked out for the best.
I wanna know what's going on.
Electro-convulsive therapy,
it's not nice to watch.
- Will it hurt them?
- No.
Why don't I go
and find out what's happening?
Sam, they are aliens!
Don't drink the water!
Oh.
Sorry. You have a message.
I should change my screensaver.
I I kept a photo
of Helen on my desk
for years after we got divorced.
Why?
I guess I thought
if I put it in a drawer
there'd be no hope
of things working out.
Now I doubt I'll ever see her again.
You need anything?
Get some rest.
Do you remember our mother?
Only vaguely.
I remember her wearing this though.
What if we could still have a future?
We have no future.
You're pregnant?
I thought it was impossible.
What was it like?
Watching yourself die.
I wasn't thinking about myself.
All I could think about was you.
My ex-wife used to say
I was a self-centered prick.
I guess I must be mellowing.
I guess so.
Just because you saw it
doesn't mean it's going to happen.
It's just one possible future.
Right.
What are you doing?
We need to test your blood to
see if you're a suitable donor.
A donor for who?
My people.
Catherine?
Are you hurt?
No.
- Why are they testing our blood?
- I don't know.
I saw some of them.
They were sick.
I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You weren't to know.
You didn't know.
Listen.
Please
