It Lives Again

---

What does she want, a he or she?

Oh that's nice, why don't

you give that to Jody?

Yeah!

- Who is this from?

- Isn't that pretty Jennifer?

- Oh...

- Aw...

It's a boy, is that what it is?

Look at that.

Is that not cute?

We have so much food.

Will you please eat some more food?

- Hey Jody.

- Yeah?

Ed's wife did the natural childbirth.

- Oh, boy.

- Stevie, you got enough cake?

Jody, you going back to get your degree

- after the baby?

- Jody would have been

a hell of a lawyer if she

hadn't quit law school.

- Really?

- Well...

The Packers will probably sign him up.

Take care, and take it real easy, okay?

- Mommy...

- I'll try.

' Okay!

' Bye bye!

Hey I'm arguing that case

on behalf of the Indians

at the federal courthouse Tuesday.

Drop on in, see a star at work!

Got everything?

- Oh, good luck.

- Bye bye.

- Call us.

- All right, thanks a lot.

- Thank you for coming!

- Bye my dear!

Thank you for coming!

Listen, I'm going to call everybody.

Jody's going to walk to

the hospital.

- I'll call you.

- Well, I was thinking

of taking someone with me.

Oh yeah?

Sweetie, have you been left behind?

No, I'm fine.

Well, I just thought if

you were going my direction,

that I'd...

No, no it's okay actually.

- Oh, I'll help you.

- I'm hiring a lady

for the day, or the week.

And thank you!

Irritable, isn't he?

That guy, I thought he came with you?

No, I don't think he likes women.

Oh, come on, you can't stand

rejection, and you know it.

Oh, find out if he's queer,

I'd really like to know.

Would you be quiet?

- I bummed a sandwich, bye.

- Thank you.

- Bye!

- Good-bye.

Take care, Stevie.

- Bye honey.

- Bye!

- Thank you!

- I'm so excited for you.

Oh, thank you.

- Bye Stevie!

- Thank you!

Bye, thank you!

Hey everybody's got

to go home now so I can

get the dishes and the vacuuming done.

Let me validate your parking.

Cake was wonderful.

Who's that guy?

- What?

- That guy over there.

I thought you knew him, you don't...

I thought he was a friend of yours.

That he was with what's-her-name.

No, I don't know who he is.

Go ask him who he is!

Go on, go ask him.

- Go on.

- Well it is our house.

Yes, party-crashing a baby shower?

Hello?

Hi.

Hello.

I'm sorry we didn't

get a chance to talk.

I didn't want to interrupt.

You have so many nice friends.

Yeah, we do.

Listen this is, uh, this

is very embarrassing,

but, uh, I don't think I know you.

I just flew in from Los Angeles,

I'm sorry, my name is Frank Davis.

Hi, I'm, uh, well, you

obviously know who we are.

Never heard of me, then?

No, should I have?

Uh, Gene?

Honey, this is Frank

Davis from Los Angeles.

- Oh, hello.

- Just flew down.

How do you do.

Hope you're not selling

insurance or encyclopedias.

No,not"

I'm not here to sell anything.

Honey, why don't you

put the presents away?

We'll work this out.

Well I'd like to hear it.

It's about your baby.

Oh?

Well, I was going to

get some coffee.

Would you like some coffee, something?

Darling, you can stop

playing hostess now.

I mean the guy's here,

he's been here all day,

and now he won't tell us what he wants.

- I have told you.

- Gene just let him talk,

- will you?

- Well who's stopping him?

Look, if you have something

to tell me about my baby,

then why don't you?

Because, frankly,

it's making me kind of nervous.

I don't know if you're

aware that doctors all over

the country have been contacted

by the federal government,

and asked to report

what they consider to be

cases of abnormal pregnancy.

I don't know what

that has to do with us.

Dr. Fairchild has

taken an extensive series

of tests just last week.

Yes, but you said abnormal.

The baby's very large, isn't it?

Listen, are you a doctor?

No, no he's not a doctor.

He's the man that was in TIME magazine.

Remember, there was a story?

It was in all the newspapers.

- Frank Davis?

- The Davis baby?

Remember there was a

special program on CBS?

Yes, I do remember.

I felt very sorry for you, Mr. Davis.

Is your wife all right?

She's recovered.

But have you recovered,

or do you go around

to people's houses

trying to frighten them?

Mr. Davis, if there's

anything I can do for you,

if you need an attorney...

If you've read about me

then you've heard about

what happened to the baby born in Seattle.

Yes, I do remember.

That one was killed, wasn't it?

Yes.

At birth.

I'm sorry, excuse me, I don't feel...

No I don't feel very good, now.

I'm sorry, Mr. Davis.

My wife's not feeling well.

I'm gonna have to ask you to leave,

and I don't want to

have to call the police.

That's just what you

don't want to do.

The police aren't going to be of

any help to you or your baby.

You see, there were blood specimens

taken that day by Dr. Fairchild.

And they matched up with other samples.

Well what other samples?

What do you mean?

They're looking for characteristics

that they found in my wife's blood.

Now they're trying to locate these infants

before they're born, so

they can be terminated.

If it is one of these babies,

it will come early, unexpectedly.

Now they're prepared for that.

The team arrived the day before

- yesterday--

- Team?

Team, right.

- Specialists.

- Are you saying there are

people here for the specific

purpose of killing our baby?

If it's like my son when it's born, yes.

Well there's a, a man named

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.
