War of the Worlds · Season 1, Episode 15

Harrison, Norton and others in “Unfinished Business”

Harrison

[talking to Norton Drake on the phone] Norton, crank it up, will you? We've got some work to do.

Norton

So what else is new?

Harrison

Well, I need you to access any of Suzanne's research pertaining to the alien growth rate.

Suzanne

Which, I can tell you right now, amounts next to nothing.

Harrison

I want you to calculate its effect on the human rate of physical development.

Norton

OK. You got it.

Suzanne

Good luck.

Norton

Listen, while I've got you both, I've been doing some checking of the police reports in the area and I scored. I came across a report, and I quote, of a strange doughnut-shaped corpse of the remains of a human being.

Harrison

Is that the residue of an alien body transfer?

Norton

Yeah.

Harrison

Where did they find that?

Norton

Well, that's the interesting thing. Less than a mile from the hospital. In fact, in the same shopping mall where the paramedics picked up Nancy Salvo.

Harrison

So we've got an alien saboteur who, in order to avoid capture, takes over the nearest available body which, unfortunately for her, happens to be Nancy Salvo.

Norton

The very pregnant Nancy Salvo.

Harrison

And this takeover creates so much physiological havoc that it triggers premature labor, and the result is the birth of–

Norton

A monster. Half-human, half-alien.
