Narrative tropes
Violence Gets Results
mediumThe investigation (non-violent approach) serves only to locate the threat, not resolve it; the climax is a direct physical confrontation with the alien in its underground lair where Andriotti and Pace attempt to destroy the infestation. Diplomacy or systemic intervention is never on the table — the creature is a mindless reproductive organism. Three signals fire: the climax is a violent confrontation, victory depends on physically defeating/destroying the antagonist, and the story raises no ethical question about whether destruction was the right choice.
About this trope: The central conflict is ultimately resolved through physical force rather than negotiation, diplomacy, or systemic change. Talking fails; fighting works.

Full plot (spoilers)
In Manhattan, five young women — all virgins — are mysteriously attacked and sexually assaulted under bizarre circumstances. NYPD Detective Dale Andriotti and Dr. Gamble Pace are assigned to investigate, initially assuming a serial rapist is responsible. Examining the victims, they find strange organic materials on their bodies that defy conventional explanation. Before the women can be fully examined, they begin rising from their hospital beds in a trance-like state and vanishing into the night. Following the trail of evidence underground, Andriotti and Pace discover that an extraterrestrial organism has established itself in an abandoned section of the Manhattan subway system beneath Brooklyn Bridge. The alien's sole drive is reproduction: it attacks and impregnates virgin human women in order to propagate its species. As more women fall victim and then disappear to the underground lair, the two investigators descend into the tunnels for a confrontation with the creature — and encounter a slime-filled pool where the possessed women have gathered. The climax reveals both the alien horror and an unexpected secondary identity, before Andriotti and Pace attempt to destroy the infestation.
