All language subtitles for seven_days_s02e23_the_cure

We have a divide that can allow us to
spend one human being back in time.

Global disaster.

Main reactor 80%.

All systems in the green.

95%. Engage.

Whoa. A little damage control, huh?

Yeah, I made some bonehead comment to
Olga the other night.

Yeah, well, that must have been pretty
bad.

What are you going to do, huh?

Give her a little knock, will you?

Whoa, whoa.

She's not going in there. She's not in
there, Frank. Yeah, I want to surprise

her. No, Frank, look, I had a sister.
You never go in her room when she's not

there. Huh.

No, that's cool. Frank, it ain't cool,
man. It's cool.

Yeah, what the hell do you know, anyway?

Mr. Perfect.

Every now and then you can be so good.

Listen, I was just... Olga, listen, I
was just dropping off the flowers. It's

really not what you... My God, how could
you?

Well, there's a perfectly good
explanation.

Don't say it.

Got to get that taken care of.

Krista, it's Bert.

You know, if you keep changing your
number every time I track you down, I'm

going to think we're not even friends.

Anyway, no pressure.

Everybody I talk to thinks you gave up
and ran away.

But I know better.

You're just like your dad.

Call me.

Olga, I was just trying to rinse them
off. I sort of accidentally spilled some

wine. So you not only invaded my room,
you spied on me. It's an inappropriate

moment. It's a total violation of the
trust. Now you're being paranoid.

You were in my shower.

What? I was trying to wash her
underwear.

Page operator, go ahead.

Yes, hello, this is Olga Vukovic. I was
paged.

Routing from your home number. Stand by.
Thank you.

Hello?

Olga, Krista Henderson.

Krista, hi. How are you? Remember our
discussion about receptors a few months

ago? Absolutely. I separated them, just
like a stupid oil and water event.

Are you sure? I checked it four times.
The calculations are irrefutable, Olga.

I found a cure for cancer.

Well, that's incredible.

Have you told anyone else?

No, no.

I learned a few things from my father's
death. You're the only person I trust.

You're the last one, my only friend.
Chris, have you backed this up? You know

don't trust computers.

They're too easy to hack.

Listen, I understand you needing to be
protective, but this is the greatest

scientific advance in, well, a long
time.

Why don't you come to my house? I think
I can help you with this.

Yeah, I'll leave today.

And Olga, thank you.

Thank you.

What, somebody figured out how to stop
that 12 o 'clock flashing on your VCR?

It's much bigger than that.

The kidney that dissolves in water.

I still can't believe it. She was on her
way to see me.

With the cure to cancer.

We got to know each other when I was
taking her father's course at Oxford.

I was going to help her get her
discovery to the right people, but now

gone. Well, I don't get it. Why can't
somebody else just pick up her research

where she left off?

Well, there's no recorded data.

Chris kept everything in her head. She
was afraid that it would either be

or destroyed too easily.

Sounds a little paranoid to me.

Dr. Henderson was continuing research
originated by her father. When he died,

she insisted that he'd been murdered by
someone within the medical

establishment, even though there's never
been any solid evidence.

She even went so far as to file claims
against the American Medical

a dozen pharmaceutical companies, even
the president.

Of the AMA?

USA. There are those who question her
mental stability.

Well, she must have been nuts. She
thought somebody would want to stop the

for cancer. If only that were true.

Find that cure, and suddenly lots of
pharmaceutical companies and hospital

chains lose billions of dollars.
Exactly. In fact, a good portion of the

establishment as we know it would
collapse.

We can't confirm the foul play was or
wasn't a part of this crash.

Fire would have covered up a lot of
traps.

Okay, so I backstep and make sure the
doctor gets to Olga. They get to have

their sleepover. I pull a panty raid,
and the world's cancer -free. Not a bad

day's work.

It's not that simple.

As I'm sure you can imagine, Chris does
not trust easily.

I'm sure a little Parker charm will take
care of that.

I wouldn't bet on it.

Study her file, Frank.

We feel the best way to gain her trust
is by posing as a fellow physician.

One who's distinctly anti
-establishment.

She doesn't leave her home much, but she
is an avid jogger. It may be a way for

you to make initial contact.

But don't come on too strong.

You don't want to scare her off.

Keep in mind, Chris has a keen eye for
insincerity.

God, I hope this works.

No, thank you.

You'll arrive the day she had her
breakthrough.

Good luck, Frank.

Thank you, sir.

Um, Mr. Parker, I... Dr.

Parker. Sorry, go ahead. You're about to
forgive me.

What? You always go soft when we're
about to launch.

You think you know everything, don't
you, Mr. Smug -Pan?

No, I just know you.

We need all back up and ready.

We need all back up and ready.

10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5,

4, 3, 2, 1.

We're at 100%. Engage.

Oh!

Saving you from an outlawed band of
teenagers and a deadly puddle.

Well, thank you.

You're welcome.

My friend was right. Monterey's a great
vacation spot.

What? I said Monterey's a great vacation
spot.

Yeah. Why did I need it? To finish my
residency at UCLA.

Hi, I'm Frank Parker. I don't mean to be
rude, Dr. Peckerman.

I came here to get away, too.

Well, I didn't mean to bother you. I
just figured, you know, since we're both

jogging and everything.

Well, if you're looking for company, I
understand that the salty dog gets kind

of crowded at night, and the food's not
bad, either.

Well, thanks for the tip, miss. You're
welcome.

It's just a matter of time before... Dr.
Parker!

Please! Dr. Parker!

Dr. Parker!

Follow me!

Follow me!

The old Parker charm kicks in.

He's going to be right here. Jamie,
everything's going to be okay.

Amanda, just stay calm. Amanda, doctor.

I'll call 911.

You take care of her.

It's okay, honey.

The doctor's going to help you, okay?
Just breathe.

Just keep breathing, man. That's good.

Let the doctor help.

Good.

Do you have any alcohol?

Yeah.

I need some towels. And boil some water.

Jamie, you just... Push.

She's so beautiful.

That was wonderful.

Sorry. No, that's okay.

Miss... Krista Henderson.

How about we shake after we clean up? Is
your place close by?

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... No, I'd
be the most awful person in the world if

I didn't let you clean up after this.

Great.

Dr. Parker?

Dr. Parker? I thought you might want to
get out of your shirt.

Oh, you can call me Frank.

Oh, um, I can washboard it.

I mean, I can throw it in the wash for
you.

Oh, oh, yes.

Thank you.

This is probably the last thing you want
to put on, but it's the only thing I

had that would fit you.

Oh, no, this is great.

Thanks. Sure.

Wait a minute.

County General?

Wait, are you a... Yeah, I'm a doctor,
but I do research, not babies.

Right.

Thanks. Sure.

Huh.

Krista, it's your buddy Bert Murphy from
Depeche again.

I'm still... Depeche Pharmaceuticals?

Yeah. My hospital works with them, too.

I won't deal with those vultures.

Good for you.

I love working in the ER, but the suits
that run the hospital?

When I hear the words bottom line, I
just want to pummel someone, you know

I'm saying?

Yeah.

Well, really good pleasure meeting you.

Yeah, you know, I've been thinking about
getting into research myself.

How about I buy you dinner and you let
me pick your brain?

I... Really should get back to work.

Come on, we just had a baby together.

Okay, well... Anyway, nice meeting you.

Uh, the Salty Dog does make these
amazing garlic rolls, and they

deliver.

These rolls are great.

I would die without takeout.

I am one terrible cook.

How can a chemist be a bad cook?

I don't know what happened.

I used to cook for my mom when she was
sick.

What was wrong, if you don't mind my
asking?

Cancer. Big surprise, huh?

Lymphoma.

I'm sorry.

Is that also your field?

Yeah.

I'd give anything to make sure some
other little girl didn't have to watch

mom go through that.

Yeah.

Hey.

Um, I... I'll be right back.

Just, no, just stay there. Just...

Everything okay?

Yeah.

I wish I... Can I trust you?

Yeah, sure you can.

I just found the cure for cancer.

Yeah, right, and I just found the cure
for world hunger.

No, I'm not kidding.

My dad, he worked a theory for years,
and I think I finally found the

breakthrough that he was looking for.

Get up.

I always wondered what it'd be like to
meet you.

Well, take a good look, because you've
got about three seconds before I blow

your head off.

The folks who write about you, they said
you were the best. Who the hell are

you? My name is Dawes, Jack T.

And you're Frank Parker.

All right, Dawes, since you know my
name, I'm guessing you work for some

big dogs.

Who is it? The AMA? Depeche?

Who?

NSA.

Backstep program, to be exact.

Backstep.

168 years in the future.

You're a nutjob.

Recognize that barcode?

So you're a nutjob with a thing for
checkout, girls.

You want more proof?

No, I suppose I would too, Frank.

Come on.

It's over there.

I'm a crononaut, Frank.

Just like you.

Is it authentic?

The technology is certainly compatible
with our own. In fact, some of the

circuitry is well beyond our present
capabilities.

Could it have traveled over a century
back in time?

It's possible. The fuel core is immense.

But the motherboard is completely burned
out. It won't be operational again.

Guess that means Dawes is for real.

You mentioned a device.

It could be a transmitter. I really
don't know yet.

Well, I want it all tested thoroughly
and quickly before we bring it back to

base. Yes.

Get off of me!

How dare you!

You have no right to do this.

I haven't done anything wrong.

Hey, what's going on?

They're following my orders, Frank.

You're with them?

Crystal, it's not what you think.

I trusted you. Take her.

I trusted you.

It's for her own good.

She's not the criminal here, Bradley.
Everyone will be contained until we

authenticate what's in that alley.

Where's Dr. Henderson?

Safe. Well, you can't get at her.

Has she talked to anyone else about her
discovery? She's under lockdown until we

determine what's going on.

Thank God for that.

I believe this is yours.

We're fairly certain that it's not a
weapon.

Time for show and tell.

Just watch her with those things, will
you, fellas?

I promise it doesn't bite.

What is this?

Your future.

If Dr. Henderson's cure sees the light
of day.

By the year 2005, it had been tested and
approved by the FDA.

Dr. Henderson won the Nobel Prize. In
fact, she thanked you in her speech, Dr.

Vukovic.

Anyway, soon after a vaccine was
distributed worldwide and within three

cancer was totally eradicated.

But a year after that, the people who
received the cure...

He started showing symptoms, fever,
delirium, death.

You see, the vaccine itself had mutated
into a virus, highly contagious, totally

incurable. There was nothing anyone
could do.

Because it was long past the seven -day
window to backstep. Yes, a few of us

developed antibodies against the virus,
but scientists still projected mankind's

eventual extinction.

And then finally, a glimmer of hope.

An alien craft crash -landed outside
Budapest. It was similar to Roswell.

We recovered the fuel source.

We decided to use it all at once in the
hopes that a super dose of fuel would

send our sphere far enough back in time.

Guess it worked.

My mission is to save humanity by
stopping Dr.

Henderson.

Surely your mission is to stop the cure,
Mr. Dawes.

She has the knowledge in her head. Now,
we need to make absolutely certain that

she never uses it. And with her unstable
mental history... Well, we can talk to

her. She knows what a discovery's gonna
do. There's no way she's gonna... What?

Forget what she's devoted her entire
life to?

Look, she just opened Pandora's box.

Are you gonna trust her to close it?

Well, it's not pretty, but there is
solitary confinement for life.

Still too risky.

Look, the doctor must be terminated.

Wait a minute.

The doctor's name is Krista, and she's
an innocent human being.

She's one life against billions.

It's not a damn math equation, pal.

Like hell it isn't.

You're going to listen to this fascist
crap, Bradley, because I'm about done.

Hey, Frank, listen. Get off me.

Enough.

What happens from this point forward
will be determined by the NSA panel.

I locked them both down.

Mike,

you're making a big mistake.

Forget it, Dawes. This is my timeline
now. We're not cold -blooded killers

What, you think I am?

Look, don't you think if there was any
other way that we would have thought of

it?

Look, I didn't leave my wife and kid
behind forever so that all those people

could die again.

And you want to know what got me this
far?

Knowing that Frank Parker would have
done the same thing.

You see, I studied you.

They'll let you make a damn phone call
in prison.

You're right, Dad.

They're all out to get us.

Frank Parker, you son of a...

I thought I might find you here.

I tested Dawes' blood.

He has antibodies that simply don't
exist in any human being living at this

time. Bradley, I'm the only person in
the

world that Chris has ever trusted, and
now I'm part of everything she's ever

feared.

I, uh...

See if you're okay.

I'm not the one you need to worry about.

What's in Chris's file?

They're not entirely wrong about her.

So she's a little nuts. I'm completely
crazy and I save the world every couple

of weeks.

How do we leave the fate of the world in
the hands of a woman who doesn't trust

anyone? Why'd you come here, Olga, to
have me tell you it's fine to sit back

do nothing, just let it all play out?

I care very much about Krista.

Yeah, you care about me too, but the
only time you show it's right before I

backstep, because you know it's safe.

You know it's all going to be erased.

How dare you?

Olga.

Olga.

This one's not getting erased.

There's got to be a way out of this that
isn't Dahl's way, but that's only going

to come from us. What can we do?

Talk to her.

Tell her the truth.

All of it.

get me out of here. Chris, I can't.

Okay. Okay.

Can you at least get them to let me call
my lawyer?

I work here.

You told me you work for an engineering
firm.

I know. The level of security here
dictated what... Oh, God.

Oh, God. I expected lies from everyone,
but you... Everything I've done has been

to protect you.

Always. I was and still am.

Trying to keep you out of danger, okay?

What do you call this?

You need to understand something
crucially important.

Your formula is flawed.

Of course you would say that. You're
with them. No, that is not what's going

here. You want this cure to go away. You
know me better than that. People

suffering and dying from cancer, you
think I don't want that to end?

What if I can prove to you that your
cure is flawed? What if I can show you

will happen if it's released?

So, so what? You've got some crystal
ball now?

Something like that, yes. Look, I know
this is going to be hard for you to

accept.

Maybe you should sit down, okay?

Chris, please.

taking a huge risk revealing this.

1947, the Roswell crash.

It's not just folklore, it actually
happened.

This place is dedicated to back
-engineering what was recovered from

spacecraft. One advancement we've
achieved is the ability to bend time.

We have the technology to travel
backward into the

past.

And Peter Pan and Tinkerbell are locked
in a cell in the basement.

All I ask is that you open your mind.

In the future, your vaccine is produced.

Cancer is eradicated. However, the
vaccine mutates into a highly contagious

over the next century and a half, it
spreads, slowly wiping out humankind.

From the year 2168, huh? That's our
conviction, yes.

I especially like the part where I win
the Nobel Prize.

Look. And all that end -of -the -world
stuff. Very impressive graphics. Must

have cost the taxpayer the bundle. Now,
wait a minute, Chris. How dare you? How

dare you show me some high -tech movie
and think that it's going to make me

throw away my life's work? That's not
what I'm doing here.

I trusted you, Olga.

Yes. And you have to trust me now. This
is very real. There is nothing that you

or anyone could ever show me that will
keep my cure from saving lives.

Chris, please, I'm just... Get out.

Please. Get out!

This is a unique situation, gentlemen,
and I believe that the feelings of my

team hold considerable weight in this
matter.

Doctor, the panel has made its decision.

Does it take into consideration the fact
that Dr. Henderton has dedicated her

entire life to curing one of our
greatest killers?

It does.

We've considered everything.

Including the risk of trying to reason
with her.

as well as the chance that her future
actions might be swayed by what we now

know. Despite the advances of Project
Backstep, Dr. Talmadge, we still can't

predict human nature.

Our only responsible decision is that
Krista Henderson is expendable.

She has to die.

Was this decision unanimous?

The vote was four to one.

But the resolution is irreversible.

The means will be humane, painless,
lethal injection.

It's for the greater good of mankind,
Bradley.

Really. We have no other choice.

They're going to kill her.

They sent in a team to administer a
lethal injection. I saw them setting up

one of the labs.

I don't know what's right anymore, do
you?

I can't believe I'm taking this kind of
a chance with humanity's future.

The only way I know how to deal with
humanity is one person at a time.

The rest we'll have to sort out later.

Take her somewhere safe, and for God's
sake, try to convince her that what she

wants to do will have terrible
consequences, because I certainly

able to.

Come in.

Give us a minute, will you?

Well, sir, it's time.

This isn't the type of duty I signed on
for, Nate.

Me neither, sir.

Come on, we've got to get you someplace
safe. They'll figure out we're missing

soon enough.

Oh, so you do this often?

You'd be surprised. Come on.

I don't understand why you're helping
me.

Because nobody deserves to die for a
mistake they might make.

They want to kill me?

Look, I'm sorry I lied to you before,
but you've got to believe me. I was just

trying to help. That's what Olga said.

All right, now we're the only friends
you've got.

How many friends?

At this point, I'm going to the least
objectionable enemy.

Lock it down.

Nobody in or out. What's going on?

Dr. Henderson has escaped.

Crack's gone, too.

Well, don't worry. We'll find him. And
when we do, I'm going to find out who

hell got him out.

lost her. What?

That's a long story.

Who's her least objectionable enemy?

I don't know.

Well, she's headed to somebody she
called her least objectionable enemy.

who could that be? Think.

Oh,

okay. She was talking to somebody at
Depeche Pharmaceuticals. Right.

The guy's name was Murphy. I heard him
on her answer.

Krista! Krista!

Cover me at the desk.

You're going to listen to me.

If that cure gets out, it's got to
mutate to a virus, and it's going to be

worldwide epidemic.

That is what pefting is for.

Do you have any idea how much FDA
scrutiny this cure is going to go

won't show up in any testing. The
incubation period is too long. You can't

that. I can.

Oh, your time travel hocus -pocus again?

Shut up!

All right, all right, all right, all
right.

Forget about that, man. Look, I know
I've let you down, but that night in

apartment, you saw something in me you
trusted. I know you did.

You've got to trust me again.

Now, think. Just for one second. What if
there's a one in a million, a one in a

billion chance that what I'm telling is
true?

No. Yes.

No. Yes. I need real proof.

Dawes' blood.

What? I can show you a blood sample from
the future. It has antibodies in it

that don't exist now. They developed so
that part of mankind could survive the

effects of your cure.

Your research doesn't have to stop.

You can use what you learned from Dawes'
blood to do it right this time.

12th floor!

For two days.

I thought I had it.

It was...

and finish my mission.

Just like you always did.

You're my hero.

Today, a shootout at Depeche
Pharmaceuticals resulted in the deaths

people, one of whom it is alleged was a
researcher claiming to have been

delivering a cure for cancer.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what we do.

Things just turn out the way they will.

There's no bad guy, nobody to blame.

I had her. I know I did. She was going
to bury it and start over.

We don't know that.

I know it.

You rarely have the luxury of chalking
things up to fate, do you?

It doesn't matter how complicated the
situation, whether it's clear or unclear

what's right or wrong.

You just listen to your heart and you
act.

You just act.

You know, you've really taught me the
value of that.
