The War of the Worlds (2019) s02e05 Episode Script

Season 2, Episode 5

What if we don't find Bill Ward
before he releases the virus?
We have to find him,
or we have no future.
(LOUD EXPLOSION)
- We lost the virus.
- It's in Emily. It's in her blood.
SACHA: I hate him
for what he did to you.
- No.
- Hey. Come on.
(GRUNTS)
(IN FRENCH)
I was at the leisure centre at Mile End.
We were attacked.
Do you want to see something?
She's one of them.
(IN FRENCH)
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.
(GRUNTS)
So, you want to go
looking for this girl?
The biological weapon
is in Emily's blood.
I was testing it on her.
MICHAEL: This girl, you're saying
she's an alien?
BILL: Part alien.
Or human.
Depending on which way you look at it.
DOMINIC: 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.
ETHAN: So where is she?
BILL: We were in a cinema. Not far.
DOMINIC: 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.
(IN FRENCH)
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.
(GUN COCKS)
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.
ETHAN: Either they're dead
or they got away.
BILL: 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.
KARIEM: Watch the street.
DOMINIC: 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.
(DOOR OPENS)
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.
(ISLA SCREAMS)
(DOMINIC GRUNTS)
Why is he beating her?
Would have been
his daughter's birthday today.
(ISLA SCREAMS)
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.
- (ISLA SCREAMS)
No?
Didn't think so.
Prick.
(ISLA CONTINUES SCREAMING)
(IN FRENCH)
(GRUNTS)
(METAL CLANGING)
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? (CHUCKLES)
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.
(SOBS QUIETLY)
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.
(IN FRENCH)
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.
(IN FRENCH)
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.
(IN FRENCH)
(IN FRENCH)
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.
(SCOFFS)
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.
(SIGHS) You can go.
I'm not gonna stop you.
(GROANS)
My stomach.
(CONTINUES GROANING)
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.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Hungry?
SOPHIA: Catherine?
(IN FRENCH)
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?
LILY: 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.
(GROANS)
Is anyone out there?
BILL OVER RADIO: 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.
