Oh, bless you.

[Eddie laughs]
Allergies.

That's right,
allergies.

Eddie, why don't you
start feeding the doggies?

Okay... Feed the doggies.

Get the food
and feed the doggies.

-[sniffling]
-Sal, what's the matter?

It's, it's Carrie.

They found a tumor
on her liver.

I'm so sorry.

And, um,

the air conditioning
is broken,

but I did made a call,

-And Mr. Rivers is here.
-Is he?

And he found something
he wants to show you.

Fully developed fifth limb
emanating from tumorous growth.

Third incident of animal tumors
in and around Cornfield

in the past three months.

Unidentified skeletal anomaly.

[purring and meowing]

Once again,
everything consistent

with rampant accelerated
cell growth.

Check incidence
of feline teratoma.

[Control Voice]
There is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal

and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

and beyond.

We can shape your vision

to anything our imagination
can conceive.

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

to the Outer Limits.

Who we are

and what we will become
are determined by our actions.

But are those actions planting
the seeds of our salvation

or destruction?

[woman on radio] Hot and humid
throughout the weekend
with no let up in sight.

Today's weather brought to you
by Macroseed, working
hand in hand with farmers today

for a better,
positive tomorrow.

Over to you, Harold.

Neighbor called it in
this morning.

This is
how we found him.

Hey, Bob.

Hey, Linda.

Careful.

May I?

Yeah.

Let the coroner's
office know
we're ready to transport.

Hey, Linda.

He's got lumps on his face.

[gagging]

Here.
I know.

Oh, I thought I could
handle that.

All I'm saying is,

if we wanna start a family,
maybe Eddie would be
better off

in a home or special facility

where they can
really take care of him.

I don't wanna do that.

Linda, Carol and Fred were
talking about a home

before they got killed,
you know that.

Eddie's my nephew, Rex.

He's family.
I have to take care of him.

Maybe we could get
some help.

Just a couple of days
a week,

it might help take
some of the pressure off.

We can't afford it.

We turned our lives
upside down
to come here and help him.

I was lucky to get a job
at Macroseed.

I'll never make as much as

a lawyer
in private practice here.
The town's too small.

I know.

We'll figure something out.

Yeah.

Hey, hey, none of that.
You'll catch something.

I already have.

Don't forget about
the church rummage sale.

I'm counting on both of you
to help.

Don't tell me Gaye roped you
into it again this year?

Oh, didn't you hear?

Gaye's in the hospital
up in Springfield.

Tumor.

Just, uh...

Had a pain in her side
and the next thing you know...

Wham.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

It's benign,
but at her age it's...

Yeah.

So I'm doing
the rummage sale
this year.

So you all really
better be there.

We'll be there, Doc.

-Hey, Eddie.
-Hi.

I'll save
the heavy lifting for you.

Okay.

[woman groaning]

[Rex groaning]

As soon as
I get the results,

I'll call you.

It just came on
so sudden.

It's worrisome, and unusual.

But these kinda bone growths
are usually self-limiting.

They only go so far,
then they stop.

Then we have to
look at our options.

Thank you, Dr. Wells.

Meanwhile,

Matt, I want to put
some dressing on this.

[moaning]

[Matt]
Wow.

[Tara]
Yeah.

Does it hurt?

Not really.

Maybe I should kiss it
and make it bigger.

Yeah.

[yells in pain]
My back!

-What?

Oh, my god!

Help!

-Oh, my god!

I'll go get help.
[crying]

Tara.

Tara!

Help!

[gurgling]

Hey, Sal.
You want to eat in or out?

-In.
-Hey.

Or we could break in
the back seat of my new car.

Stop.

What's the matter?
You think your husband
is going to catch us?

Kinda reminds you
of the storeroom
in chemistry, doesn't it?

Except we're
not 17 anymore.

Mm-hmm,
you're right.

Now we know more.

Sally will be back
with lunch soon.

Then maybe we should
accelerate this process.

Did you hear about
Matt Hooper?

Yeah.

And Carrie Lattimore has
a teratoma on her liver.

Yeah. Why are we talking
about this?

Because you work at Macroseed.

You think it's from the corn?

Why not?

Because we tested it,
that's why.

All right, well,
take a look at this cat.

Fibrous sarcoma
is rare in cats.

Maybe 1 in 10,000 get it.

This is the third animal
with massive tumors

that's come across
my table recently

and they've all been found
in the cornfields.

And look at this,
it's more like a teratoma.

Different cells
randomly growing
abnormal tissues together.

It's kinda weird that
all of this
is happening right now,

don't you think?

And Old Man Rivers' tumors,
they were the same thing.

They're all accelerated growth
just like the TX-40.

Okay, you got me.

I'm actually an alien.

We mutated the corn
to meet our special
nutritional needs.

[grunts] It's unfortunate that
you earthlings, you know,
can't handle it.

Look, I'm serious about this.
Couldn't it happen?

I'll tell you what
the biochemists tell me, okay?

And you can trust me,
'cause, well, I'm a lawyer.

Harold...

Yes, the corn has been
genetically altered,

and, yes, TX-40 was designed
for accelerated growth,

but it cannot cross to humans
or cats or other plants.

But it's all so sudden.

Linda, stuff like this
unfortunately
happens every day.

Now...

[deep breath]

How about a little acceleration
of our own?

Harold.

Just a little?

Hmm?

[phone ringing]

[Harold groaning]

What?

I have to go.

Olly, Olly, oxen free!

What the hell do you want?

It fell off its nest.

Get that thing
out of here!

You come in here again,
you're gonna wish to god
you hadn't been born.

[woman moaning]

[truck horn blowing]

[thunder rumbling]

"And so Donald went back
to his cave..."

Hey.

Hi.

"All the other
dinosaurs cheered

"and said that Donald was
the bravest dinosaur

in the whole wide jungle."

Called your office
today to see if you
wanted to go to lunch.

I must have been
in the bathroom.

Yeah, I guess so.

[Eddie]
Read Donald.

Okay, Eddie.

-Read Donald.
-Sure.

"Donald's great big day."

"Donald was a dinosaur.

He wasn't as big
as Albert the Allosaur,
but he was much taller than

Peter the protoceratops."

[crickets chirping]

[cricket chirping]

[croaking]

[rooster crowing]

All I'm saying is,
don't you want to have kids?

Of course.

But I don't want to have one
until this thing gets
sorted out.

That's ridiculous.
You're overreacting.

Something is happening, Rex.

One day Old Man Rivers is fine,
and the next he...

He looks like a monster
and blows his head off.

We have to move before
something happens to us.

-Back to Kansas City?
-Anywhere.

The longer I wait
to have a baby,

the greater the chance
of birth defects.

Look at Eddie.

Linda.

Well, he'll never be
like other kids.

He's never gonna
have a chance.

Maybe the best thins is to
put Eddie in a home

with other kids like him.

Oh, sweetie, I'm sorry.
I didn't mean it.

Eddie! Eddie!

Eddie!

Eddie!

Eddie!

-Eddie!
-[crow cawing]

[Linda]
Eddie!

-[Rex] Eddie! Eddie!
-[sneezing]

Rex!
Eddie, I'm sorry.

I didn't mean it.

I don't want to go away.

No, you're not
going to go away.

I promise, you're gonna be
with us always.

Mommy and daddy went away.

That's true,
but you're not going to go.

We love you too much
to let you go.

You're stuck with us, buddy.

[sneezes]

Oh...

And Mr. Fuzzy turtle?

-[both chuckling]
-Yes, of course.

Do you want to go
to the game tonight?

-And pancakes?
-And pancakes!

Computer model indicates
mutating cells

increase exponentially
under ideal conditions.

Rex?

Eddie?

[door slamming]

[beeping]

[rattling]

[clanking]

Eddie?
What's the matter?

Eddie?

Oh, my god.

-Oh, my god.
-[crying]

It hurts.

It's okay,
it's okay.

Everything's going
to be okay.

Shh, shh, shh.

I can't see too good.

I know, but I'm going to
fix that, okay?

I'm gonna fix that.

Where's Rex?

He's...

He's at the game.

You walked home all alone?

I got lost at the game
and I couldn't find him,

so I came home.

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Doc, I've got to talk to you.

Linda, I have
patients waiting.

You know where
I was all night?

Springfield, with Eddie.

He's got lumps on his head
like Old Man Rivers.

Oh, my god.

Don't you see
what's happening, Doc?

Carrie Lattimore,
Old Man Rivers, Gaye Herman,

Tara Acton, Matt Hooper,
Eddie, all of them.

Have these tumors
that just suddenly appeared.

It's obviously something
that was introduced
to the environment.

What else could it be
but the TX-40?

Linda, some people are
going to get these things
no matter what.

It just happens.

Not this quickly.

You probably
don't remember this,

but after you left for college
in the big city,

Hobson was a dying town.

Macroseed saved it.

They paid top dollar...

better than top dollar
to rent these fields.

TX-40 is safe.

So before we go
kicking up a ruckus,

let's get some
facts first, okay?

TX-40 is hurting people, Doc.

How come I don't have it?
Or you, we breathe
the same air.

Now think about the people
that you mentioned.

Some of them live close
to the cornfields,

others live far away.

Upwind, downwind,
sidewind, whatever.

There isn't any pattern,
ergo, it's not happening.

Or maybe
we're missing something.

(SIGHS)
How long have I known you?

As long as I can remember.

Pretty long time, right?

So I'm going to make
the presumption
that I know you pretty well.

I know what you're doing,
but you don't have to.

What am I doing?

Trying to prove
that you're better
than your mama.

This isn't about my mama.
It's about people getting sick.

[sighs deeply]

I need to see the research
on TX-40.

They're not gonna
show you that.
That's proprietary information.

We're talking about Eddie, Rex.

I know, I helped
drive him to Springfield
last night, remember?

I have to know.

[printer whirring]

Hey, want to grab
some lunch?

No thanks.

Gotta get this done.
Boss of mine.

Maybe we should talk.

You could have got
Rex fired today,
you know.

If it hadn't been me
who saw him, he'd be toast.

You're right.

But that's not the only reason
you called us both in here.

No.

I also want to impress
upon you the importance
of what you're doing,

or nearly doing.

TX-40 is safe, Linda.

But bad PR is gonna kill it
just as dead as if it was
causing these things.

I know.

Well, that's why
you got to be careful
about what you say.

You can never take back
bad publicity.

That's what I said.

Not to mention Macroseed
has been very good
to all of us.

And we want to
keep it that way.

So that's why
I'm going to let you see this.

I already cleared it
with the big boys.

So please, read it
before you do anything else.

I think it'll put your mind
at ease.

It's the data
on TX-40,

pure and unadulterated.

And you can draw
your own conclusions.

Thank you.

Thanks, Harold.

No problem.

Linda, here.

There are two main ways
to genetically alter plants.

One is to shoot plant cells
with a particle gun.

They use microscopic pellets

coated with the DNA
they want to add.

The other way to insert
the appropriate new genes

is to use a bacterium.

Agro-bacterium tumafascens,

which is first altered itself

and then it inserts the new
genes into the target plant.

So what happened?

All their crossover tests
were performed on corn

that was altered
through radiation.

But after the tests
someone decided

that bacteria was
to be used instead.

[chuckles]

It was probably somebody
in accounting

who figured that
it would be cheaper.

All I can say is,
bacteria is a living thing.

It mutates on its own.
You can't
control it completely.

Do you know
what tumafascens means?

Tumor-inducing.

Now, according to this,
they're supposed to remove

the tumor-inducing part before
they use the bacteria.

But like I said,
it's a living thing.

It might have found a way
to sneak around it.

God, Doc, what have they done?

-How could you do this?
-Do what?

You do tests on the TX-40
one way and you completely

ignore doing them again
once you make major changes

and switch to using
bacteria to alter it?

-Linda, it wasn't--
-Bacteria that can change
on its own.

We don't use bacteria anymore.

What?

We didn't want to
take the slightest chance.

If you would have taken
the time to read
the rest of the document

you'd see we phased that out.

Wasn't worth
the money we'd save.

Cooler heads prevailed.

It's all right there.

I'm sorry.

Apology accepted.

Don't.

Don't.

Why not?

Because I don't want to.

All right.

No means no.

I can smell his aftershave.

No, it's just my perfume.

Think I wouldn't find out?

Sally Latimore saw Harold
leaving your office
two days ago at lunchtime.

That's why you didn't
answer my phone call.

You were too busy
screwing him.

Weren't you?

God, you stink of him!

I called your office tonight.
You didn't answer.

I was with Doc Wells.

Fine.
Let's call him right now
and ask him what time you left!

Then I went to talk
to Harold about the TX-40.

Oh, that's why I can smell
his aftershave
all over you.

Why do you do this?
What are you trying to do?

Beat your mom?

"I slept with more guys
than she did."

No.

Then why do you do it?

We love each other.
That's why
we got married.

What happened?

-Rex...
-No.

No.

Stay away from me.

I'm sorry.

No... Yeah, we're fine.

Fortunately,
we did the right thing.

Yeah, absolutely, it would
have been very bad thing,
that's true,

but facts don't lie.

Yeah, we did good.

Score one
for our side.

Yeah, I'll let you know
if anything else happens.

Okay, right. Bye.

Hey, man.

-[grunts]
-[groans]

Harold, what happened?

Rex.
Thanks for the warning,
by the way.

-I didn't know that--
-No, you never do.

You're always thinking
about yourself. No one else.

That's not true.

Really?

Well, do you ever
think about me?

You ever think about us?

You ever lie in bed at night

and dreaming about us
being together?

Having kids,
having a family...

Taking vacations, huh?

Doing stupid things
and laughing about them?

Do you?

-Sometimes.
-[scoffs]

Sometimes.

That's really
encouraging, Linda.

What?

Do you think that you were
just another notch
on the bed post?

No.

Is that what you tell yourself
so that you can let yourself
off the hook?

"Harold doesn't care
so I don't care either"?

No, I don't say that.

Then what do you say, 'cause...

[chuckles wryly]
I'm not psychic over here.

That I'm married.

Well, you don't have to be.

I know.

You know, maybe we've been
looking on the wrong side
of the equation.

What do you mean?

When they tested
the TX-40

with human DNA,

where did they find
that DNA?

Average white males,
middle-aged guys.

And that's the problem

wiith a lot of drugs
on the market today.

They're tested
with average white males.

Not women or kids
or whatever.

And what they've found is,

there are big differences

in how the drugs react
among the groups.

So maybe the people who are
affected aren't average.

Exactly.

Maybe they just have
a predisposition
to those things

and TX-40 triggers it.

That's why we haven't
all been affected.

Yes!

Or maybe it's something
completely different.

The best thing to do
is to look for patterns.

What's everybody got
in common?

Well, what about hormones?

Growth hormones.

Carrie could have been going
through a growth spurt.

And Matt and Tara... and Eddie

are in their prime
high-level hormone years.

Raging hormones.

Yes.

Of course, that doesn't explain
Old Man Rivers.

Yeah.

There's the rub again.

Yeah, there's the rub.

[glass breaks]

[flies buzzing]

Son of a bitch.

You wanted proof?
Here it is.

Carrie Lattimore has
a teratoma on her liver.

Eddie has lumps on his head.

Matt, Tara, all of them

are suffering from uncontrolled
accelerated cell growth.

And it's the TX-40
that's causing it.

Anyone who has
an above-average levels

of human growth hormone
is susceptible.

Kids going through
growth spurts,
old men taking supplements.

You name it.

I think she's right, Harold.

[chuckles]

Unbelievable.

I should call the board.

We'll have to check this out.

Can't, uh...

Yeah, we'll have
to check this out.

Good work.

Thank you.

[phone ringing]

Yeah?

[sighs] Yeah.

Rex?

Rex.

Linda, Harold Zimmer here.

Our lab just finished running
the first round of tests.

We used some blood
from Matt Hooper.

Doesn't seem to be any
sign of TX-40 interacting
with it.

We're going to keep checking,
but, well, we'll let you know.
Bye.

[voicemail beeps]

Linda, Doc Wells.

I called the lab
up in Springfield

to do a test on a blood sample
from Mr. Rivers.

They said the TX-40
didn't have any interaction,

so if it's not the corn
triggering it,

I don't know what it is.

[voicemail beeps]

[cawing]

[Harold]
It cannot cross
to humans.

Oh, my God.

[busy signal beeping]

Oh, come on, Doc,
get off the phone.

Rex, I'm on my way
to Doc Wells' house.

Look, I don't wanna worry you,
but I think you should
meet me there.

[sneezing]

[horn honking]

[tires screeching]

Doc?

Doc, it's Linda Andrews.

-It's not the corn.
It's the milkweed.
-Linda... Linda...

The corn DNA is transferred
to the milkweed.

Hello, Linda.

So surprised.

What are you going to do?
Shoot me, Harold?

Maybe.

Let's go.

You always
were determined, Lin.

That's why you were the captain
of the cheerleaders.

You weren't the best,
but you were determined.

You didn't get there first,
but you always got there.

So I'm right.

Yeah, unfortunately.

Our lab confirmed it
this afternoon.

It's the pollen
from the milkweed.

You can't cover this up.

Yes, I can.
Yeah, I have to.

See, we can't afford
bad publicity, remember?

We can't let some freak
crossover mutation

wipe out years
of research and planning.

We'll just get rid
of the milkweed.

No problem.

You can't get rid of all
the milkweed in the country
for god's sake.

I mean, even if you could,

how could you guarantee
that TX-40 wouldn't
cross to something else?

Good old Doc, huh?

You're just too quick for me.

Don't do this, Harold.

You know
what your problem is, Lin?

You're always
searching for a crusade.

Searching for something to fill
up what's missing inside.

Make you important.

Me, Rex, Eddie, your work.

We're all just
fuzzy little animals
trying to fill the void.

Now you got your teeth into
something really big.

And you won't let go.

But you have to.

No, I don't.

It's too late, Harold.

Look, I could put in
a good word for Rex.

I can get him transfer
to Kansas City,
get him a raise.

Okay? You guys could
start over again,

and get the best
possible help for Eddie.

Eddie is going to die,

and it's all because of people
like you playing god.

I'm sorry about that.

But you could still start over.

Screw you.

Well, I'm going to
take that as a no.

Or you could change your mind.

You have in the past.

You don't care
about anybody, do you?

Actually, Doc,

I care about
the whole world.

You know,
when a disaster happens,
doctors perform triage.

Not everybody lives,
you know that.

The process is designed
to maximize the number
of survivors.

It's the same
with medication.

The FDA certifies
thousands of drugs

knowing full well that a small
but acceptable percentage

of people will have
a fatal reaction to them.

Why?

Because many, many
more people will benefit.

The cost is worth the benefit.

TX-40 is worth the cost.

What's it gonna cost you
if it doesn't roll out?

A few million.
[chuckles]

The miracle of stock options.

You only care about yourself.

It's a common disease
these days.

Unfortunately, the only thing
I can prescribe for it

is a long, hard look
in the mirror.

It's a shame
some people don't have
the spine for it.

Oh, I can, I can do it, Doc.

Yeah.

'Cause...[clicks tongue]
I like what I see.

More's the pity on you.

-Stop!
-[gunshot]

Every great step
demands sacrifice.

[groaning]

-Doc!
-Hey!

Poor Doc.

He was trying to save me.

He came in here distraught.

You felt that
I was responsible
for what happened to Eddie,

and you couldn't accept
that when I told you that
TX-40 wasn't guilty.

He tried to stop you
and you shot him.

And I tried to wrestle
the gun from you.

It went off, killing you,

but not before
you shot me in the leg.

[yells in pain]

[both grunting]

[Harold groans]

[Linda sighing in relief]

I got your message.

-You all right?
-Yeah.

I'm sorry,
I'm sorry.

It's okay.

[Control Voice]
Let us always remember,

as we sow,

so shall we reap.

[cawing]
