It's Alive Page #3

There's no other way out

of that delivery room.

Lieutenant:

The doctor's correct.

Let's not have a discussion

about it, shall we Lieutenant?

I've asked your husband

to submit to some tests.

And I've refused.

You've never been exposed

to radioactivity

and radioactive material,

or undergone extensive x-rays?

No, Doctor, I told you.

Doctor:
Well, we can't

rule out genetic damage.

I noticed that you did inquire

about abortion eight months ago.

Doesn't everybody

inquire about it nowadays?

It's just a question

of convenience,

and we decided to have the baby.

We all make mistakes.

I apologize for that crack.

Let me talk to you outside,

come on.

You're not afraid of me,

are you?

I've always been afraid of you,

especially those eyes.

I wanted a boy so badly.

I think he was probably

very frightened,

even though he's different.

And...

l just...

I think he was probably afraid

they were going to hurt him.

Sweetheart.

He's not ugly.

Darling.

Darling.

Darling, you're

so exhausted, sweetheart.

Hmm?

You don't know

what you're saying.

I'm going to check up

on those two.

I don't trust them.

I mean,

can you imagine?

Can you imagine those

guys, trying to blame us?

We are the parents, sweetheart.

I'll be right back.

Okay.

Doctor Norton has decided

your wife can go home.

First thing in the morning.

Of course, you realize

it's in everyone's interest

to keep this quiet

for the time being,

at least until we can find out

what's become of the infant.

You have heard, uh,

no word about it?

No.

I don't see how it

could survive the night

without clothing

and nourishment.

Of course, like any animal,

it's maybe--

It's not--

it's not an animal, Doctor.

You know that very well.

Well, whatever it is, uh,

you can't classify it

as an animal.

It's a human, Doctor.

And that's what's

disgusting to you, isn't it?

It kills like an animal.

And when we find it,

we're gonna have to

destroy it like one.

I don't care.

I suppose you have

to do what's necessary.

I'm glad you feel that way.

I only hope your wife

understands as well.

What's there to understand?

Better not to think about it.

Wanna say good night

to your wife,

and, uh, maybe I'll drive

you home, huh?

No, thanks.

Okay darling,

I'll see you in the morning.

Stay on duty.

Announcer:
Police still

offer no explanation

for the series of five deaths

which occurred early today

at the Saint George Medical

Center in Santa Monica.

Officers are still working on

a round-the-clock schedule.

Informed sources at the hospital

allege the deaths resulted

from attacks by an infant born

only today in a mutated form,

but officials declined comment.
