The War of the Worlds (2019) s03e04 Episode Script
Season 3, Episode 4
What does it do, this weapon?
They found a way
to affect neural functioning.
I need you to figure out
how they're going to attack us.
If you want to stop them,
you gotta get me out of here.
Get inside! Get on the ground!
Put down the phone!
Bill, we're leaving!
I've isolated the damage
to the cerebral cortex.
The excessive firing
of the prefrontal neurons
results in seizure.
The brain closes down.
That's what they're gonna do to us.
I exposed myself to the beamline.
Are you okay?
I think I was in a
In an alternate reality.
I was in another time, another world.
This is proof of the link between
our consciousness
and quantum entanglement.
Sophia?
Who are you?
I'm looking for my sister.
I'm sorry.
Don't screw up your life like I did.
Live a good life.
- I'll try.
- You're a good kid, Tom.
You trust Zoe, right?
She's risking everything.
So yes, I trust her.
Oh, I get it.
What?
You like her.
Yeah. Yeah, you do.
Do you want me
to put in a good word for you?
Just lay some groundwork, man.
Just say the word.
Nope.
Keep moving.
Nothing to see here.
Your man Bill's big news.
On my way home last night,
I had to pass through
a police check point.
- Hello?
- It's Tom.
- Tom Gresham. Emily's brother.
- Tom.
Hi.
Why were you asking
about Emily's tattoo?
There are some people
with the same tattoo.
I'm trying to find them.
- Tom?
- Can we meet?
It looks like he's on his own.
We have to be sure.
What are you doing? Ow.
Hello, Tom.
- What is this?
- Have you told anyone
- you were meeting us?
- No.
Hand over your phone.
Or you can get out here.
Why did you call me?
- Tom?
- I know someone
with the same tattoo as my sister.
Who? Who is it?
Her name's Martha.
I thought she was my girlfriend.
She was hiding her tattoo from me.
Where is she now?
- I don't know.
- Well, where does she live?
Don't know.
She always comes round to my place.
I found sleeping pills in her backpack.
I think she's been drugging me.
Who is she?
Why does she have
the same tattoo as Emily?
We think she's part of a group
who are trying to attack us.
- This is insane.
- You need to contact her.
You need to arrange to meet her.
What are you gonna do?
A lot of people could die.
We have to stop them.
You helped Bill Ward
escape from prison, didn't you?
I recognize you from the photos.
Bill's helping us stop the attack.
I want to meet him.
Let me meet him
and I'll arrange to meet Martha.
Why do you want to meet him?
I want to ask why he murdered my sister.
I've been trying to contact Catherine.
She isn't responding.
You think something happened to her?
I don't know.
Are you receiving me?
Is anyone there?
Putain.
Bill.
I killed his sister.
What the hell am I going to say to him?
I don't know.
I don't really have a choice, do I?
- He's in the car park.
- Tom's here now?
Well, like you said,
we don't really have a choice.
What's he like?
I think he's broken by what he did.
What do you hope to get from this?
He'll see you.
No windows.
I can't have you knowing where we are.
- Tom.
- You killed my sister.
Tom, I'm sorry.
I had I had no choice, Tom.
It was the only way
I could stop the attack!
- What attack?
- Billions of people
were gonna be wiped out.
We were attacked by an alien race.
These things that are happening, Tom,
the bodies in the streets,
the creatures,
the attack, it has all happened.
What are you talking about?
What's this got to do with Emily?
She was one of them.
She and a boy called Sacha.
It was their children
who became the alien race.
- No, this is insane.
- No, listen, Tom.
Do you think that you were
chosen at random by this girl?
Whatever it is they want,
it's because you are Emily's brother.
They all have the same tattoo.
You can't trust her, Tom.
She's dangerous.
Tom, have you
Have you seen us together?
Hmm?
How do you explain it?
How do you explain these things?
All right. Listen to me.
You support Fulham. Right?
You love rap, you think that
Justin Bieber's a dickhead.
And when you were a little boy,
you thought that homeless people
could marry their dogs.
Yeah, didn't you?
- How do you know this stuff?
- Because we knew each other.
- We were friends.
- Don't say that.
You have to believe me.
We were attacked.
They killed my wife, they killed my son.
And I came back through time
to stop them.
By killing Emily?
Yes.
I had no choice.
I did it for you, I did it for everyone.
I've thought about what I'd do
if I ever met you.
I wanted to kill you.
I just wanna go home.
God.
Do you believe
all that stuff about aliens?
Yes. They're going to attack us.
We have to stop it.
Martha's one of them?
Whether you believe it or not,
we had a deal.
Call her.
What do you want me to say?
Tell her you want to see her.
I've planted some fresh seedlings
and reset the centrifuge.
What is it?
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.
Is she okay?
She's in the hospital. She's in a coma.
Jesus.
She was using the matrix I sent her.
You shouldn't blame yourself.
It was her choice.
I think it worked.
What do you mean?
The log showed massive activity
on the EM spectrum.
I think she's there.
Where?
An alternate world.
What?
I don't know.
Is something wrong?
No. It's all good.
Hey.
- Where are you going?
- I need to use the bathroom.
- Tom?
- I think she knows something.
Where is she?
She went to the bathroom.
Zoe?
Damn it!
What did you do to her?
She'll be fine. You should go.
I wanna be there when you talk to her.
You're not coming with us.
Who's she more likely
to talk to, you or me?
I wanna help.
Get in.
Put her down there.
Keep her head still.
You're drowning her.
Maybe you being here was a bad idea.
Zoe.
Zoe!
- Tom. Please.
- Don't look at him, look at me!
He can't help you.
Tell me where your people are.
I don't know what you're talking about.
We know who you are.
What were you doing to him? Huh?
What were you doing to him?
- I was taking his blood.
- Why?
For my brother. He's sick.
His organs are failing.
His body is rejecting
the stem cell treatment.
You're taking cells
from Tom's blood to treat him?
Is that right?
We thought we could cure ourselves.
But you can't.
- We're dying!
- All of you?
Yes! Everyone will pay
for what you've done!
Your people and mine.
You're not planning
to survive the attack.
And you'll all die with us!
Where are they?
Where are your people?
- Where are they?
- Shit!
Where are the others?
I won't tell you.
I'm sorry.
Oh, shit.
Oh, please.
Please. Please don't.
I would have killed her.
No, you wouldn't.
Thank you.
Sophia.
I thought you might be hungry.
Tom.
I hated lying to you.
It's true.
If you don't tell Zoe
where the others are,
she's gonna kill you.
I'm going to fall sick and die anyway.
You said my blood can treat you.
I can save you.
Oh, please.
Tom.
Attention.
Please.
Catherine?
Catherine?
Catherine?
Where are you taking me?
You okay?
So sorry about that.
I didn't mean to scare you.
Are you okay?
It's just
You know, we were against the clock
and if I'd tried to explain
what I wanted,
you know, our brains
would have been fried.
This was, um
This was the only way that I could
get you down here quick enough.
What do you want from me?
I need your help.
I'm Sam, by the way.
What do you need my help with?
It's
Please.
It's my mum and dad.
I'm sorry.
What do you want from me?
There's a hospital in King's Cross.
It's underground, it's in the station.
They can treat them there.
- How?
- I don't know.
I can't get them both there on my own.
That's why I need you to help me.
So we follow the Northern Line to
We follow the Northern Line
to Warren Street,
we change there.
We don't even have to go above ground.
How do you know this hospital is there?
We were told by a guy
who showed up here.
They cured his daughter.
There were other people
who were here as well.
Their families took them.
And they never came back.
Anything could have happened to them.
- They could have been killed.
- I can't just sit here
and watch them die.
I couldn't manage both of them on my own
and I can't leave one of them.
You know, what if something happens?
I have to get back to my sister
and my niece.
Maybe you should come with me.
You want me to leave them?
Maybe there's nothing
you can do for them.
- I'm sorry.
- We get them to the hospital.
- You can go, okay?
- I can't help you.
I really wanna be nice about this.
You don't have a choice.
You're going to shoot me?
- Just help me. Please.
- I can't.
I can't let them die! Okay?
They're all I have.
Sorry.
I'd never!
It's Nathan! Open the door!
What happened?
I can't let them kill you.
Come on.
Okay, let's go.
Take the stairs to the car park,
all right?
Take a right. You'll be fine.
Oh, fuck! Just go. Go!
She's gone.
Yeah, we got her.
You did really well.
Take the next right.
