The Host Page #6

No. It's time.

I want to die.

If you had lived a millennium

always in the body of another, you

might feel the same way yourself.

MELANIE:
Wanda, my sister.

Yes, sister?

Please don't do this.

Don't you want to be

with Jared? And Jamie?

It doesn't have to be this way.

You don't have to die.

You really could

go to another world,

the way you've been

telling everyone.

Thank you,

but by the time I got

to the closest planet,

you, Jamie, Jared, Ian,

everyone on this world I care

about would be long dead.

I don't want to

go on without you.

I love you, Mel.

I love you.

You are the purest soul, human

or not, that I've ever met.

The universe will be a

darker place without you.

Be happy, Mel.

Be happy

that after living

so many lives,

I finally found

something to die for.

Goodbye.

Goodbye.

IAN:
Wanda?

Wanda.

Wanda?

Wanda, can you hear me?

WANDERER:
Where am I?

Who am I?

You're you.

Hello, Wanda.

WANDERER:
Melanie?

You might want to see yourself.

IAN:
You still do that

with your hair.

Doc, you broke your word.

They broke it for me.

They made me keep you alive.

But I told you I didn't want to

take another life in any world.

You didn't.

JEB:
We've been taking souls

out of humans for a month now.

But when we took

the soul out of that body,

she never woke up.

The body was dying.

The only way to save her

was to put you inside.

You haven't killed a body.

You've given it life.

I miss you in my head.

What are you thinking, Wanda?

I'm thinking how happy I am.

(RAIN DRIPPING)

It's a strange world.

The strangest.

NARRATOR:
Our world isn't like

the other worlds they came to.

The way they see it,

human beings are just so alien.

But if one of them can find a

way to live with one of us,

I wonder.

(TIRES SCREECHING) Seekers.

(BRAKES SCREECHING)

No one gets taken.

Everybody out.

Seeker, I can...

Everybody out.

Now.

Hmm.

Little bright out

tonight, is it?

You're human.

Human.

Mmm-hmm.

Not all human.

Are you their prisoner?

(GUN CLICKING)

Yes.

No.

I'm not their prisoner.

I'm their friend.

They're human.

Human as you.

(CHUCKLES)

We thought we were

the last survivors.

So did we.

Till we found

three other groups.

Now four.

Thought I was the only one

who switched sides.

I guess you never know where

you're gonna find your home.
