Inexplicably, three people are struck in the head after a meteor explodes. The devices in their brains resemble spearheads. When removed, a tentacle come out and waves around, seemingly testing the environment. Two forensic pathologists are at the scene the first time this happens. The "dead" patient leaps to his feet and runs out the door, leaving them stunned. One issue that is brought up is the one pathologist has a wife on life support in a hospital. She was victimized by a careless driver and there is no hope. Still, he brings her flowers every day and talks to her. The man they treated goes to his fiancée and tells her to trust him. She is so confused because she has been told he is dead. Later, she sees him get in a car with a strange woman. The trio are up to something; it appears they have some plot to take over the world. They find a way to get huge amounts of money and resources to build a machine of some kind. They test it on a cat and the cat begins to fade out and disappears in a fiery flash. There next step is to round up a group of people who have death sentences from cancer, brain trauma, and so on. There is good suspense in this; we want to know. I found the conclusion unsatisfying. It felt incomplete. Judge for yourself.

Watch the original 2 part The Inheritors instead!

I absolutely love the original two-part episode, The Inheritors. The story is simple, poignant, compelling, even charming. This rehash is heartless, cruel and unsatisfying. Do not even bother if you adore the original. I have seen this redone mess and will warn you now. Stay away. In truth, zero stars!
It is a Very Positive Outcome

A wonderful story! The other reviewers didn't understand. The 3 Aliens/Altered Humans were taking those sick people to their dying planet to save their race as their blood will be used to reestablish the genes of their alien race who may have originally been from earth. In return the sick people from earth will become healthy and whole again.
The man (Forensic Doctor) will be with his wife, but the woman engaged to Jacob was afraid to go so, she is left behind on earth.
If you listen to the narrator at the end it will be more clear.
The ending isn't told to you directly from the story but it is obvious with all the clues.
