It Lives Again Page #2

---

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

be to the infant itself.

We'll have to tranquilize

it before delivery.

It could be stillborn.

We'll be waiting for you.

Ah, I don't see him now.

He must be crazy.

It's kicking again, hard.

It's always been an active baby.

It.

I'm calling it it.

I don't even call it he or she anymore.

Lots of people call their baby it.

All my vitamins and my food supplements

and my great vegetarian diet.

I bet you they're going to

tell me that's what caused it.

You know I've been thinking

about the legal aspects

of this case, and the

government can't have

any actual backup for what they're doing.

Must come under the heading

of emergency measures.

I mean, if this thing

were tested in the courts,

- it would never hold up.

- Sounds just like you.

You're getting back to yourself again,

talking like a lawyer, huh?

What they're trying to do to us,

conspiring to murder our child.

Of course, in India, infanticide

has been practiced for centuries.

Did you know that?

No, I didn't know that.

Strangling baby girls at birth,

or spreading opium on the mother's

nipples before nursing them.

Really!

Glad I'm not in India.

I think today they just starve

the little girls to death.

They don't have enough food.

And I guess it's easier to kill

what you consider inferior.

Well look, over

here, we run the country, huh?

Frank, this is Dr. Forest.

Come in.

The mobile unit has arrived.

It's being checked out.

Go get me a cup of coffee.

All right.

No, make that tea, I don't want coffee.

You want the herbal tea, yes--

The herbal tea.

Oh, God!

God, Gene!

Gene!

You all right?

No.

It's started.

It started.

You sure?

Yes.

Here, sit down.

Oh, oh my.

Sit down.

Oh my...

- I'm going to call Davis.

- Yeah.

Just relax.

I'm going to get his number.

This contraction is too big.

God, I wasn't due for a week!

This is Dr. De Santos, Frank Davis.

Pleasure to meet you, doctor.

The Scotts will be so

relieved to know you're here.

Oh my...

Why don't they turn that music down?

Doesn't anyone sleep around here?

I feel like celebrating myself.

Okay...

Why is it this big?

We have four more of these

units in construction.

That's marvelous.

It's going to save the

lives of so many children.

You've done a remarkable job, Doctor.

Bullshit doctors coming in from L.A.,

song and dance he gave us.

Sh*t.

Just relax, just relax.

He's not there!

The son of a b*tch is not there!

I'm going to call

Eugene and Jody Scott now.

Good.

- Don't call Dr. Fairchild.

- Hello. Dr. Fairchild?

Yes, yes, this is an emergency!

We're going to the hospital now.

- Busy.

- Wait a minute,

maybe they're trying to get you.

Come on.

I never believed Frank Davis anyway.

' Let's go!

' I'm trying!

All right.

- Oh God!

- We just can't wait anymore!

I mean, we don't have

any more time, we gotta go!

- Oh, God, oh...

- Oh, you all right, huh?

Come on, baby we gotta get there!

I know I know, I can't walk very fast!

All right, all right, all right,

I don't mean to be pushy.

I won't go to that hospital.

Look, we can't risk your life, we've got

to go to the hospital!

She's in labor.

Mr. Mallory has already been

notified by Dr. Fairchild.

They're both en route to the

hospital, everything's being prepared.

They're out.

They've gone to maternity.

Frank, wait a minute!

Well, you've seen photographs taken

in the hospital in Los Angeles.

You all know what has to be done.

All right, let's go to our posts.

What are you doing with the gun, Frank?

Don't worry about the gun, Doctor.

Move this unit into position

behind the hospital,

- I'm going in there.

- They'll recognize you, Frank.

Get me a doctor's bag and a clipboard.

Clear all visitors out

of the maternity ward

and seal off the third floor!

I love you Jody!

I won't let anybody hurt you, darling.

Two Mary 12, cleared.

10-L-20, roger.

12-Ben-7, 12-Ben-7, come in.

Mr. Scott...

- Mrs. Scott?

- Excuse me, Pardon me?

No, I'm not gonna go in there!

Who are you?

- Wait, wait a minute!

- Gene!

- What are the police

- Gene!

Doing here?

Wait, why are all these police here?

They're for security, that's all.

What, for a bomb scare, what?

Nothing to be alarmed about.

That's about what it is.

Yeah, with nothing to do with you

watching my house the other night was it?

- Later, later, Mr. Scott.

- Jody!

- Christ!

- Jody, wait! I'll be right in!

Take him to the waiting room!

I don't want to go to the waiting--

Jody wait!

Call for Dr. Neuman.

Call for Dr. Neuman.

Bear down, there we go.

Once more, long, steady push.

More.

The officers are outside,

you want 'em in here now?

- Now relax.

- Please, it's going to be

a beautiful baby!

It's going to be a girl!

Gene wants a little girl!

Please don't hurt my baby!

Don't hurt my baby!

It's going to be a

beautiful baby, I know that!

- In and out.

- Everything will be all right

now don't worry about it, huh?

Long, steady push.

It's normal!

Gene!

I don't know about this.

If you don't want to

go through with this,

I'll take the responsibility.

Dr. Fletcher, I have a cardiac arrest

on the second floor, step aside, please.

Why are the police here?

Uh, you fellas wait outside the door.

I'll call you when I need you.

- Dr. Fairchild?

- Okay, go on, go on!

You don't even know what

it's going to look like!

You have no right, this is my baby!

This is murder!

- Now who told you that?

- Gene, help me!

Somebody informed

her before she arrived.

I'll have a word with her husband.

Take a deep breath, hold it, bear down.

Call for Dr. Columbine.

I had a feeling that

you couldn't be trusted.

I'd like you to look at this chart.

Persuasive, isn't it?

You could call it a case

of temporary insanity.

Now tell them to bring the

husband up here to see his wife.

Come on.

Bring the father down on the double.

Very good.

Relax,.

- You all right?
