"'''Dark Rain'''" is an episode of ''[[The Outer Limits]]'' television show. It first aired on [[14 February]], [[1997]], during the third season. Its plot is inspired by the novel ''[[The Children of Men]]''.

==Introduction==
A chemical war leaves most of humanity unable to reproduce. Only rare couples, such as Sherry and Tim McAllister, are able to have healthy normal children.

==Opening narration==
<blockquote>"Every child born is linked in a chain to generations past and future. But what happens when that chain is snapped?"</blockquote>

==Plot==
Sherry and Tim McAllister conceive and become the focus of intense attention from the government. The couple slowly come to the realization of how important the pregnancy is to the government, and how far it will go to get what it wants. They find themselves in a secret maternity hospital overseen by Dr. Clayton Royce. The McAllisters are truly horrified when they find that Dr. Royce has hidden designs on their new-born daughter as he intends her to be a permanent ward of the state.

==Closing narration==
<blockquote>"Just as we inherited the Earth of our forefathers, we too will bequeath this world -- so long as there are children to claim the inheritance."</blockquote>
