- Relax...

Jesus, what are you doing?

I'm going into the delivery room.

Are you sure you want

to be part of this?

Let's get our hospital gowns.

Move.

Dr. Neuman, front desk, please.

- Dr. Fairchild!

- Jody!

Now hold it, don't do anything.

- Hey baby, it's alright, it's--

- All right now take off.

I'm taking the patient

out of the hospital.

I don't want any trouble.

No interference, you understand?

It's his ball game.

Go ahead.

Step aside from the patient.

I want you to give her a

shot that'll retard labor.

Now, I know you can do it.

Come on, move!

Take off the stirrups.

It's going to be a beautiful baby!

- Normal, it's gonna be normal!

- Hurry up, let's go.

It's okay, it's okay, side scoop.

That's good.

You're committing suicide.

It'll kill all of you.

All right now listen,

there's a truck coming around

to the emergency entrance.

It's to be allowed to enter.

All we want is time to get a court order

protecting the life of that infant.

A truck is to be permitted to enter

the restricted area behind the hospital.

The medical personnel aboard

are not to be interfered with.

Now take it easy!

No crime has been committed!

You have no right to arrest us!

I'm protecting this woman's

right to have a baby!

Put her on the gurney.

Frank, we're ready for you!

All right put 'em down, put 'em away!

Put your guns down, fellas!

Doctor, you're going to

save my baby aren't you?

I'm going to damn well try.

Oh...

Gene, I think we better hurry.

Okay, let's get her on the table.

You're gonna be hearing

screams in there in a minute!

Climb in next to me.

You should be very careful.

Prep her up quickly.

They're not following us anymore.

Keep your eyes on the road,

slow down and keep it under 25.

Just a few more minutes,

just a few more minutes.

It's an enormous child.

No bigger than any of the others.

What's the use, Davis?

The federal authorities

will never let you get

to pass the state line.

We'll see.

It shouldn't be

allowed to live!

Please tell me, what are you doing?

I want to see my baby.

Let me see my baby!

- It's completely sedated.

- I want to see him.

It's a boy.

It's a boy, isn't it?

Let me see him.

Oh, my God!

How can you let this happen?

What's going on back there?

Hello, doctor?

- Let me out of here!

- No, don't kill it!

He's in shock,

he'll be all right.

Let me out, let me out,

let me out, let me out,

let me out, let me out

- let me out let me out...

- Tell me what it looks like

Gene, I want to look at it!

What's going on back there?

We delivered a live male child.

- Dr. De Silva is injured.

- Let me out of here!

He's in a state of shock,

but I think he'll be all right.

What does he look like?

Slow down.

We're coming to the tunnel.

This is the sheriff's jurisdiction.

We're stopping the truck, hostage or not.

Do as you goddamn please!

Okay we're stopping the truck.

Compliments of the house.

It's all right, he's unarmed!

He's not armed!

- Continuing,

- It's one of the doctors.

- a male, 45 years,

- They left the mother inside.

5'11", 190 pounds.

They changed cars in the

tunnel, a camper, gray.

I couldn't get a make on the license.

What are you going to do, arrest me?

You bet your sweet ass I am.

Yeah?

Well, I can't wait to get

my day in court.

TV is just going to love me.

Let him go.

Release him!

Thanks.

You don't belong in a jail,

you belong in a mental institution.

Yeah, it was born, wasn't it?

You couldn't stop it, it was born.

Ah!

Ah, God...

I've been out for four hours.

You needed the rest.

Yeah.

I thought I'd never sleep again.

Where we headed?

Back to Los Angeles, where it all began.

I'm due at the Dallas

airport tomorrow night.

I'm giving a lecture at the Adolphus

on my unique experience with fatherhood.

You're making a

profession out of this now?

Why are you trying

so hard to do your job?

I have a high regard for the human race.

I want to see that it sticks

around a little while longer.

How about a lift to the airport?

After all, I gave you a ride.

Are they still watching us out there?

There's only one of them.

He's only here to keep

the newspaper people away.

They're spying on me,

that's what they're doing,

Frank Davis told me--

I don't want to hear anything

more about Frank Davis.

Now here, take these

and go back to bed, come on.

Listen Mother, I appreciate your coming,

I really do, but please just let me alone.

Look you can't

feel guilty about this.

- It's not your fault!

- I don't feel guilty

about this!

Look, we've always been

pals, so I'm going to tell you

exactly what's on my mind.

You've only known Eugene a few years.

You don't know his family,

- where he comes from--

- Oh don't!

All I know is that there

is nothing wrong with anyone

on our side of the

family, it couldn't be us,

- it has to be him.

- It isn't hereditary,

and you know that, it's

been happening to others!

What are you trying to do,

you're twisting this around,

you're trying to make me hate Eugene!

All I know is that you could have made

- something of yourself if you

- All I want you to do for me,

stayed in school in New York!

Please, right now, is to

help me to get away from this!

- Well, I'm not going to do that!

- They're gonna be watching me.

Gene's gonna be wanting me to come,

the baby's gonna need me.

You are not making any sense!

When the time comes,

you will help me to get away from here.

- I'm not going to!

- You will do

- exactly as I say!

- Exactly as you say.

Fine.

Just fine.

They switched to a camper

near Phoenix and then to a van.

These people are clever

and well-organized.

We won't find them easily.

You certainly are prepared.

Oh, Dr. Perry.

How do you do, Dr. Perry?

Mr. Scott.

I think I should explain

to you, Mr. Scott,

that yours is not

the only child here.

We have others.

Others?

Yes, one was brought from

Atlanta about 12 days ago.

One was delivered here.

The mother didn't survive.

Well, maybe it's the trip,

but, uh,

I'm not feeling too well.

Well, that's only normal. You

haven't eaten for 24 hours.

We've prepared a room

up there in the west wing.

Oh, thank you.

How are the babies doing?

More alert every day.

They communicate, they're

very much aware of each other,

they've been quite calm,

and I think they trust me.

My tests indicate that they

have the mental capacity

of a human infant of

about 21 months.

Hmm.

I think Mr. Scott

ought to get some rest.

No, uh, I think

I'd like to see them.

Are you sure?

Yeah, I saw mine.

I'm not afraid to look anymore.

One thing I think you'll find,

they bear a striking

resemblance to each other.

Almost like brother and sister.

Oh, is one of them a female?

We keep them down here

because it's more secure.

When will Frank Davis be here?

He won't come until

it's absolutely safe.

In my opinion, based on

their present rate of growth,

that in five or six years, they

should be capable of sexual activity.
