It Lives Again Page #2

Mallory across the street,

watching this house right now.

They change shifts every eight hours.

You mean that Dr.

Fairchild's part of all this?

I don't think the man

out front recognized me.

I came in with your other guests.

Well hell if it's going

to be a goddamn monster,

why not kill it?

- Huh?

- They use that word too

easily, don't they?

Monster?

Huh, the Davis Monster?

Because it's different.

They didn't show any

pictures of your baby.

How many people did it...

- How many people did it...

- murder?

In the delivery room, they

tried to suffocate my child,

but naturally, it fought back.

But he, he found us.

He came home to us.

Came to me, his father, for protection.

And I shot him.

Wounded my own child.

But he forgave me.

Is that an animal?

Is it?

Is that a monster, that can forgive?

I'm sorry.

See, I cooperated with the authorities.

My wife and I let them take tests,

so now they trust us.

You ever done this before?

Gone to other people?

Yes there was a woman

in Evanston, Illinois,

but I learned too late.

The team had already arrived.

They were prepared.

Right in the delivery room,

they snuffed out its life.

There's been two false

alarms, and two mistakes.

I don't, I hope that, you don't think

this is too crazy of me, but...

I have a feeling that

this one isn't a mistake.

May I touch it?

Yes, you can.

I felt it as soon as

I came in the house.

The same feeling I had

when my son was close by.

Don't be ashamed.

I hope you have the opportunity

to see that, Eugene.

Some of us have, it makes us

very remarkable in our own way.

Hey, don't you think you'd better go now?

I mean, uh, maybe you

should go out the back.

You don't want the little man to see you.

I'll be talking to you in a few days.

I'll stay in the motel.

Call if you need me.

It's the only place I could

find with a private phone.

I don't trust the switchboard.

Take it easy.

It's happening, and it's going to continue

to happen to lots of other people.

Thousands, millions maybe

before this century's out.

Did he tell you what it looked like?

No.

I feel exactly like I did when

they called me and told me

Dad died of a heart attack.

Why?

Jody, why did you let him touch you?

Hello, Doctor.

Yeah.

I'm going to need help down here.

That's right.

I'm staying at the Palos Park Motor Inn.

That's two blocks from the hospital.

That's right.

We have a lot of people who

are sympathetic to us here.

We're setting up facilities

to deliver the baby outside the hospital.

A mobile unit is being

brought in from Los Angeles.

We can't wait for her to go into labor.

Will it be safe for the mother, Doctor?

The prime danger will
