Species Page #3

You wanna take one later...

...no problem.

Take off your clothes.

I want to see you.

Very nice.

Take me back.

What are you talking about?

You know why we came here.

I've changed my mind.

All right. You said "no."

It's duly noted. Come here.

I wanna go!

Too late. You're not leaving!

You're not!

- All right.

- That's better.

What's happening? Kills a girl

at the club, kills this guy.

I'd say she fits the definition

of a psychopath.

Nothing inhibits her.

No moral sense, no social structure.

She wasn't exactly smothered with a

mother's love or taught good manners.

I asked what was happening.

He did something, she was angry.

She'll kill if she's threatened

or if anyone gets in her way.

Of what?

Her life cycle.

I think she's trying to mate.

Reproduce.

Okay.

So why did she kill the girl?

Sexual competition.

She's hard on the competition.

Now she managed to mate.

Doesn't look like a success.

He's still got his pants on.

- She's frustrated.

- Who isn't?

What's her problem?

She was here with him.

Maybe she rejected him.

She probably has special senses.

Rats can sense diseased or genetic

damage in their potential mates...

...so we can test his body...

...for hereditary diseases or defects

that would make him a loser...

...essentially.

Needles.

Maybe he was a doper,

or a diabetic.

Either way would make him

unacceptable. Excuse me.

All right.

Insulin. Diabetic.

There you have it.

She could have just walked out.

Why kill him?

He pissed her off.

Some men, when rejected,

get insistent.

- Put an APB out on his car.

- We have.

We'll go back to the motel.

I want to check it out.

More docile and controllable,

huh, Fitch?

- What do you think, Dan?

- What do I think?

I think she'd want to be alone now.

She won't come here with

all these cars outside.

You're assuming she could

find her way back here.

She could.

What is it?

Maybe menstrual blood.

If she's menstruating,

she can reproduce.

Yes, I know.

Sh*t.

Oh, Jesus.

Excuse me.

Call a paramedic! Anybody

got a phone?

If your commute takes you westbound

on the 10 freeway...

... expect an hour delay.

The drive will be slow to Malibu.

The video enhancement

is not that great.

How old do you think she is?

Twenty, 23?

Her reproductive system

should be fully developed.

Her biological clock must be

in hyperdrive.

She wants a baby.

If she has a child our problems

have just begun.

If her offspring is male and develops

at the same rate as Sil...

...it could reproduce in 6 months.

God knows how many females

it could impregnate.

Fitch.

When a predatory species

is introduced...

...into a closed ecological system...

...the extinction of the weaker species

is inevitable.

They found the murdered guy's BMW,

out of gas in Santa Monica.

What's her name?

- I don't know.

- Who are you?

She didn't have any ID.

I thought I'd make sure she was okay.

You think she's got insurance?

I don't know. Just put it on

my credit card for now.

And you don't know her name.

Guys like you are hard to find.

Get a lab workup on that, stat.

Get her up to x-ray.

I want an x-ray on this.

It looks like a scapula fracture.

Your shoulder wound.

What's going on here?

Doctor, we need you now.

A child burn victim just came in.

- What is going on here?

- Doctor, please.

Jesus Christ!

Did you see her shoulder?

Please. We need you immediately.

You're okay.

I'm okay.

I was sure you were

seriously injured.

I'm okay.

You are. It's a miracle.

Can we go?

Did the doctor say you could go?

Yes.

We'll send somebody over there.

Thanks a lot.

Doctor over at Parkbay Hospital

called in with some weird story.

We should check it out.

It's a few miles away.

Laura...

...Press, take a car, check it out.

- Parkbay Hospital?

- Yeah, Parkbay.

She walked.

She walked.

She walked that way...

...not too long ago.

Got some fruit and cheese.

What is that?

You mean the hot tub?

A hot tub.

I love this place.

It's away from the traffic

and business and people.

Sometimes it feels like

you're not in L.A. Anymore.

Here.

We'll immortalize the moment.

Look at the camera.

- This girl literally reformed her bones.

- It's her.

Who checked her in?

I don't know. Let's find out.

She had no insurance so this guy

put it on his own credit card.

Here's the file. John F. Carey.

You don't have a driver's license

or home address?

No, sir.

Just an imprint of his credit card.

Give us a printout

of what you've got.

No problem.

Some candy?

It's in the Palisades and

he's got a phone number.

Tell Fitch where we're headed,

and try to get John Carey on the line.

I'd better get the phone.

I've got his machine.

Should I leave a message?

Yeah.

Tell him he's about to copulate

with a creature from outer space.

- Copulate, huh?

- Yeah.

I like you.

I know.

It's not too soon for us

to be together.

No, it's not too soon.

You don't need these.

Hey, hey. That's a little fast.

What's the matter?

Take it easy.

Just relax.

There's plenty of time.

What is it?

I think someone's at the door.

Don't go.

Please. I want a baby.

What?! Excuse me?

Let's go around the side.

Outside.

- What happened?

- A squirrel! A f***ing squirrel!

- She was here.

- Yeah, she was.

I wanna make sure

she's not still here.

Perhaps we should check the body

for evidence that they've had sex.

I used to be scared

at the sight of blood.

Now I guess I'm getting used to it.

Oh, yes.

- Help me, please!

- Oh, my God. What's the matter?

We found this in the living room.

She liked him.

Well, not enough.

Can't see any more on that than

we did on the video monitor.

He didn't get a good picture of her.

There's no evidence of semen

in the hot tub water.

Maybe she took it with.

So she probably

hasn't managed to mate.

- We interrupted her.

- Yes, I think we did.

Give me something I can use.

What have you

come up with lately, Fitch?

She's not scared of us.

That's for sure.

We're all beat.

We'll go back to the hotel and rest.

Tomorrow night...

...we'll go back to the club.

- Stake it out.

- Stake it out.

She's not stupid.

She won't repeat herself.

There's no point going there.

It provided a poor specimen.

I'm not sure.

She's been in the city two days.

It's what she knows.

I'd rather try the club...

...than sit at the command center

reminiscing about how close we got.

She would make one excellent

biological weapon.

If someone thought we were some

kind of galactic weed that would...

...spread through the universe.

So what you're saying is that...

...she's the cure and

we're the disease.

That's well said.

"Baker, Laura.

1735 Meander Drive,

Simi Valley, California."

That's you, right?

Last time I checked.

What do you do for kicks out there?

Pine for guys like you.

That's what I thought.

So anyone hungry?

No, thanks. I'm beat.

I'm gonna try to get some sleep.

- Good night.

- Yeah. Night.

- I'll have something to eat with you.
