[doorbell chimes]
183
00:08:47,177 --> 00:08:48,802
- Hello!
- Hello.
184
00:08:48,803 --> 00:08:51,013
You must be Pam.
I'm Trish Fairfield.
185
00:08:51,014 --> 00:08:52,389
I live just up the street.
186
00:08:52,390 --> 00:08:53,724
Oh.
187
00:08:53,725 --> 00:08:56,077
Trish: Honestly, you don't
have to eat that.
188
00:08:56,711 --> 00:08:59,480
Uh, no, they asked me
to fill out a survey about it.
189
00:08:59,481 --> 00:09:01,315
I can tell you what to write.
190
00:09:01,316 --> 00:09:02,733
"Tastes like old socks."
191
00:09:02,734 --> 00:09:04,359
[laughs]
192
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,612
I'm four months along, in case
you just thought I was fat.
193
00:09:06,613 --> 00:09:08,739
- [both laugh]
- No.
194
00:09:08,740 --> 00:09:10,699
But does your husband work
for Bellflower, too?
195
00:09:10,700 --> 00:09:12,493
Mm-hmm. They act like
we're so lucky
196
00:09:12,494 --> 00:09:14,495
that we get to try all these
new products for free.
197
00:09:14,496 --> 00:09:18,141
But if they're not on the market
yet, there's usually a reason.
198
00:09:20,668 --> 00:09:22,920
How about cake
for lunch instead?
199
00:09:22,921 --> 00:09:24,171
[laughs]
200
00:09:24,172 --> 00:09:25,631
And so then
my mother-in-law says,
201
00:09:25,632 --> 00:09:27,132
"well, of course
I'll come and stay
202
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:29,551
for at least a month
after you have the baby."
203
00:09:29,552 --> 00:09:32,513
I just smiled and nodded,
204
00:09:32,514 --> 00:09:34,389
because I knew that
if I opened my mouth,
205
00:09:34,390 --> 00:09:35,724
I would say something honest.
206
00:09:35,725 --> 00:09:37,684
[both laugh]
207
00:09:37,685 --> 00:09:39,019
Who's coming to stay with you?
208
00:09:39,020 --> 00:09:41,772
Oh, no, uh,
Elias' mother isn't well,
209
00:09:41,773 --> 00:09:43,440
and my parents are gone, so.
210
00:09:43,441 --> 00:09:45,526
Oh, my gosh. I'm so sorry.
211
00:09:45,527 --> 00:09:47,402
Here I am, pooh-poohing
my own family.
212
00:09:47,403 --> 00:09:49,172
It was a long time ago.
213
00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:52,741
And if they knew that
I'd become a nightclub singer
214
00:09:52,742 --> 00:09:55,244
in the big city,
they'd have probably killed me.
215
00:09:55,245 --> 00:09:58,556
Oh, my gosh. I never thought
that I'd leave Topeka.
216
00:09:58,957 --> 00:10:01,208
Thank goodness Dave came along.
217
00:10:01,209 --> 00:10:02,626
But now, here I am,
218
00:10:02,627 --> 00:10:05,087
meeting cosmopolitan people
like you.
219
00:10:05,088 --> 00:10:06,380
[laughs]
220
00:10:06,381 --> 00:10:07,756
And our children
are gonna grow up together.
221
00:10:07,757 --> 00:10:09,299
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
222
00:10:09,300 --> 00:10:11,760
That would, but, uh,
as soon as I have the baby,
223
00:10:11,761 --> 00:10:13,387
I think we're gonna head
back to New York.
224
00:10:13,388 --> 00:10:16,390
But I would love it
if you would come visit us.
225
00:10:16,391 --> 00:10:18,409
I'm really just here
for the treatment.
226
00:10:21,771 --> 00:10:23,164
Wait, I don't understand.
227
00:10:23,531 --> 00:10:26,108
You wanted the treatment?
228
00:10:26,109 --> 00:10:27,585
Well, yeah, of course.
229
00:10:28,119 --> 00:10:29,778
Why? What's wrong with that?
230
00:10:29,779 --> 00:10:31,113
Oh, no, nothing.
231
00:10:31,114 --> 00:10:32,614
No, I-- Lord knows,
I'm getting it, too.
232
00:10:32,615 --> 00:10:35,784
I just... wish I wasn't.
233
00:10:35,785 --> 00:10:37,303
Dave insisted.
234
00:10:38,788 --> 00:10:42,600
[somber music]
235
00:10:43,535 --> 00:10:46,461
You haven't gone in
for it yet, have you?
236
00:10:46,462 --> 00:10:47,772
The treatment?
237
00:10:48,673 --> 00:10:49,899
No.
238
00:10:50,884 --> 00:10:52,318
Why?
239
00:10:53,052 --> 00:10:55,071
Maybe you won't think
it's that bad.
240
00:10:55,538 --> 00:10:57,740
Dave's always saying
I'm a big baby.
241
00:10:59,934 --> 00:11:01,935
Let me help you tidy up.

There he is.

Heart's beating like a drum.
251
00:12:02,622 --> 00:12:04,057
Let's get started.

[clicking, rustling noises]
253
00:12:10,672 --> 00:12:12,130
What are you doing?
254
00:12:12,131 --> 00:12:14,299
This isn't the Spanish
Inquisition, I promise.
255
00:12:14,300 --> 00:12:17,928
We just can't have you moving
around during treatment.
256
00:12:17,929 --> 00:12:20,389
Well, can't you put me out
or something?
257
00:12:20,390 --> 00:12:23,392
No, we can't risk lowering
the baby's heart rate.
258
00:12:23,393 --> 00:12:25,686
He'll never grow up big
and strong
259
00:12:25,687 --> 00:12:28,206
if we don't get him
to stay put first.

Mm-hmm.
267
00:12:58,761 --> 00:13:00,780
You don't want to hurt the baby.

280
00:13:35,340 --> 00:13:37,608
Trish, you don't
have to do that.
281
00:13:39,677 --> 00:13:41,237
You're awfully quiet today.
282
00:13:41,704 --> 00:13:43,138
Is everything all right?
283
00:13:43,139 --> 00:13:46,558
Sure. I'm just a little tired.
284
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:49,644
Well, they say it's hard
to sleep in the last few weeks.
285
00:13:49,645 --> 00:13:50,955
It's not that.
286
00:13:51,589 --> 00:13:53,624
They have me taking these pills.
287
00:13:54,225 --> 00:13:56,318
Everything sort of
feels like a dream.
288
00:13:56,319 --> 00:13:57,920
What pills?
289
00:13:59,530 --> 00:14:00,989
It's embarrassing.
290
00:14:00,990 --> 00:14:03,617
Oh, come on, you know
you can tell me anything.
291
00:14:03,618 --> 00:14:05,327
It's nothing, really.
292
00:14:05,328 --> 00:14:06,846
I was just having these, um...
293
00:14:08,331 --> 00:14:12,352
thoughts... delusions.
294
00:14:13,503 --> 00:14:15,003
Gosh, I feel so foolish.
295
00:14:15,004 --> 00:14:17,607
I was thinking that Dave
and the doctors were...
296
00:14:19,425 --> 00:14:20,651
Were what?
297
00:14:21,677 --> 00:14:22,779
Lying to me...
298
00:14:23,513 --> 00:14:26,657
about something to do
with the treatments or the baby.
299
00:14:27,125 --> 00:14:28,934
And every time I went in
for an appointment,
300
00:14:28,935 --> 00:14:30,369
I couldn't think straight
for days.
301
00:14:31,137 --> 00:14:34,189
And the injections were
making me feel like I was...
302
00:14:34,190 --> 00:14:37,210
I don't know, going...
going a little crazy.
303
00:14:38,986 --> 00:14:40,529
Does that happen to you?
304
00:14:40,530 --> 00:14:42,882
Well, I mean, sometimes I get
a headache after, but...
305
00:14:44,325 --> 00:14:47,035
No. No, nothing like that.
306
00:14:47,036 --> 00:14:49,538
Well, anyway, it turns out
307
00:14:49,539 --> 00:14:52,934
I was doing this Freudian thing
called projection.
308
00:14:53,334 --> 00:14:56,378
And Dave's been working so hard.
309
00:14:56,379 --> 00:14:58,255
I didn't want to make
things harder.
310
00:14:58,256 --> 00:15:01,133
And the pills really have been
helping a lot.

Shoot. That must be Dave.

- Pam: He's early.
- Oh, I completely forgot
314
00:15:08,349 --> 00:15:10,743
I have an appointment
with Dr. Valentine.
315
00:15:12,395 --> 00:15:13,538
I should go.
316
00:15:13,971 --> 00:15:15,540
Trish, I could come with you.
317
00:15:18,317 --> 00:15:19,943
No.
318
00:15:19,944 --> 00:15:21,945
No, I would never take you away
from your own baby shower.
319
00:15:21,946 --> 00:15:23,572
[laughs shakily]
320
00:15:23,573 --> 00:15:24,924
I'll see you later.

I'm so sorry.
337
00:16:31,057 --> 00:16:32,492
She wasn't right.
338

The baby.
339
00:16:35,286 --> 00:16:37,371
What do you mean, wasn't right?
340
00:16:37,805 --> 00:16:40,166
I wasn't supposed to see her,
but I did.
341

Her face.
342
00:16:46,197 --> 00:16:47,423
It was...
343
00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:58,667
I don't think I could
have loved her.
344
00:16:58,668 --> 00:17:01,854
Oh, honey, don't say that.
That's...
345
00:17:02,672 --> 00:17:05,149
I know why it happened.
346
00:17:07,885 --> 00:17:09,862
Because of the treatments?
347
00:17:10,513 --> 00:17:11,697
Because of me.
348
00:17:12,965 --> 00:17:17,203
Because they had to give me
pills for my horrible thoughts.
349
00:17:17,870 --> 00:17:20,230
It's my fault that
she came out like that.
350
00:17:20,231 --> 00:17:22,458
- No.
- I killed her, Pam.
351
00:17:23,109 --> 00:17:24,192
It's my fault.

No, it is not your fault, Trish.

- Stop, stop!

You've done it to my wife.

I mean, how-- how-- how am I
ever gonna explain this to her?
372
00:18:10,865 --> 00:18:12,741
Man: We understand,
and we intend to--
373
00:18:12,742 --> 00:18:14,242
- Elias?
- Elias: How am I gonna get
374
00:18:14,243 --> 00:18:16,202
compensated for what
you've done to our child?
375
00:18:16,203 --> 00:18:18,371
- Man: We'll take care of this.
- Elias.
376
00:18:18,372 --> 00:18:20,266
Hey. Hey, sweetie.
377
00:18:21,375 --> 00:18:22,602
It's okay. I'm here.
378
00:18:24,503 --> 00:18:26,421
Where's the baby? What happened?
379
00:18:26,422 --> 00:18:27,565
- Elias: No, it's...
- What?
380
00:18:28,032 --> 00:18:31,426
Elias: You had the baby.
Uh, they gave you anesthesia.
381
00:18:31,427 --> 00:18:32,594
That's why...
382
00:18:32,595 --> 00:18:34,196
That's why you can't remember.
383
00:18:35,056 --> 00:18:36,282
It's a boy.
384
00:18:37,266 --> 00:18:38,451
Oh.
385
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:40,953
Oh, okay.
386
00:18:41,979 --> 00:18:43,789
Well, when can I see him?
387
00:18:44,423 --> 00:18:46,358
Well, I'm afraid
they had to keep him
388
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,943
in the nursery
a little while longer,
389
00:18:48,944 --> 00:18:50,779
because he was premature.
390
00:18:50,780 --> 00:18:53,490
But, uh...
391
00:18:53,491 --> 00:18:54,759
he's, um...
392
00:18:57,286 --> 00:18:58,471
He's what?
393
00:19:02,750 --> 00:19:04,459
What aren't you telling me?
394
00:19:04,460 --> 00:19:08,397
Um, I need to speak
to the doctors.
395
00:19:09,507 --> 00:19:11,317
But you should get some rest.

Now, here. Come on, careful.
402
00:19:51,173 --> 00:19:53,776
Okay. Now, watch your step.
403
00:19:54,310 --> 00:19:57,137
Oh, Pam, this is Nora,
my new secretary.
404
00:19:57,138 --> 00:19:59,305
I asked her to get the house
all ready for you.
405
00:19:59,306 --> 00:20:00,783
It's a pleasure to meet
you, Pam.
406
00:20:01,283 --> 00:20:03,518
I didn't know Elias was getting
his own secretary.
407
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:05,979
Nora: [laughs] He negotiated
quite a few perks
408
00:20:05,980 --> 00:20:07,731
with his new promotion.
409
00:20:07,732 --> 00:20:10,108
Um, there's food in the fridge,
and plenty of baby formula,
410
00:20:10,109 --> 00:20:13,003
although Mr. Wittering said
that you don't need any bottles.
411
00:20:13,529 --> 00:20:14,738
Oh, no.
412
00:20:14,739 --> 00:20:16,948
Jason's mouth doesn't
attach that way.
413
00:20:16,949 --> 00:20:20,761
I have to feed him
with drops from a syringe.

00:20:21,395 --> 00:20:23,246
- [Jason coos]
- Shh... shh, shh.
415
00:20:23,247 --> 00:20:27,000
[laughs]
Like how they feed kittens.
416
00:20:27,001 --> 00:20:28,460
Hmm!
417
00:20:28,461 --> 00:20:30,670
It takes forever, and I'm afraid
I'm not very good at it.
418
00:20:30,671 --> 00:20:32,172
Hmm.
419
00:20:32,173 --> 00:20:33,941
Hmm, my daughter is, um...
420
00:20:35,134 --> 00:20:37,385
She's a little different,
uh, too.
421
00:20:37,386 --> 00:20:39,405
Not physically, but...
422
00:20:41,557 --> 00:20:43,266
How old is she?
423
00:20:43,267 --> 00:20:44,809
26. Mm-hmm.
424
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:46,162
It's just her and me now.
It's...
425
00:20:46,796 --> 00:20:49,457
I'll be taking care of her
for the rest of my life.

- [Elias clears his throat]
427
00:20:53,110 --> 00:20:57,298
Well, you're all, uh, set up
in the nursery there.
428
00:20:58,824 --> 00:21:00,968
You didn't tell me you got
a promotion.
429
00:21:01,368 --> 00:21:04,162
Oh, I was just waiting
for everything to settle.
430
00:21:04,163 --> 00:21:06,206
But, yeah, anyway,
since we're gonna be here
431
00:21:06,207 --> 00:21:07,916
for a while longer
than we planned,
432
00:21:07,917 --> 00:21:11,812
the company thought they'd put
my talents to good use.
433
00:21:12,346 --> 00:21:14,464
Uh, speaking of which,
Nora and I need
434
00:21:14,465 --> 00:21:16,025
to get back to the office.
435
00:21:16,392 --> 00:21:18,468
What? So soon? We just got home.
436
00:21:18,469 --> 00:21:21,638
Well, yeah, there's a meeting
with investors in D.C.
437
00:21:21,639 --> 00:21:23,223
I'll be gone all weekend.
438
00:21:23,224 --> 00:21:26,160
But Nora is just a phone call
away if you need her.
439
00:21:26,560 --> 00:21:27,936
- Well--
- Look, this is gonna be
440
00:21:27,937 --> 00:21:29,687
good for us, but...
441
00:21:29,688 --> 00:21:31,332
it's a lot more responsibility.
442
00:21:32,233 --> 00:21:33,417
You'll be all right?
443
00:21:33,951 --> 00:21:35,360
Honestly, I don't know.
444
00:21:35,361 --> 00:21:37,237
I've never done this
alone before.
445
00:21:37,238 --> 00:21:40,341
Hey, the Pam that I know, the
woman that I fell in love with,
446
00:21:41,158 --> 00:21:42,408
she can do anything.

00:21:46,831 --> 00:21:48,081

The clinic? What...
532
00:26:58,392 --> 00:27:02,562
He'll still need various
therapeutic interventions
533
00:27:02,563 --> 00:27:05,082
to mitigate
any of the damage you may--
534
00:27:06,817 --> 00:27:09,569

00:27:11,989 --> 00:27:14,740
I can just drive him
to the clinic.
537
00:27:14,741 --> 00:27:17,160
Elias:
After what happened last night,
538
00:27:17,161 --> 00:27:19,805
we can't let you do that.
539
00:27:22,833 --> 00:27:24,351
Oh, my God.
540
00:27:26,795 --> 00:27:30,423
Oh, my God. What did I do?
541
00:27:30,424 --> 00:27:31,859
[gasps]
542
00:27:32,326 --> 00:27:33,968
Did I hurt him?
543
00:27:33,969 --> 00:27:36,012
Valentine:
It's all right, Pam.
544
00:27:36,013 --> 00:27:37,680
We're only human.
545
00:27:37,681 --> 00:27:39,867
He'll be just fine.
546
00:27:41,018 --> 00:27:43,102
We'll make sure of that.
547
00:27:43,103 --> 00:27:44,371
[groans softly]
548
00:27:46,064 --> 00:27:50,151
Now, I want you
to take one of these
549
00:27:50,152 --> 00:27:52,713
whenever your spirits get low.
550
00:27:55,199 --> 00:27:57,241
But the way I see it,
551
00:27:57,242 --> 00:28:00,536
you've got nothing
to feel sad about.
552
00:28:00,537 --> 00:28:03,539
Good-looking husband
and a full-time nanny?
553
00:28:03,540 --> 00:28:06,209
It's every little lady's dream.
554
00:28:06,210 --> 00:28:11,231
[♪]
555
00:28:15,093 --> 00:28:18,221
{\an8}Nora: The decorations in
the backyard look wonderful.
556
00:28:18,222 --> 00:28:21,224
{\an8}- Oh, thank you.
- Oh, he'll be so delighted.
557
00:28:21,225 --> 00:28:23,059
If he ever gets here.
558
00:28:23,060 --> 00:28:24,852
Elias knew the party's at 2:00.
559
00:28:24,853 --> 00:28:27,772
I don't know why he has to take
him for therapy on a Saturday.
560
00:28:27,773 --> 00:28:30,733
Jason's about to miss
his own birthday party.
561
00:28:30,734 --> 00:28:32,985

[Landau grunts]
564
00:28:47,918 --> 00:28:51,003
- Oh, hey--
- [groans] Sorry.
565
00:28:51,004 --> 00:28:53,631
- Let me help you.
- Sorry, I didn't mean to, uh...
566
00:28:53,632 --> 00:28:55,591
- Oh.
- Sorry. [clears throat]
567
00:28:55,592 --> 00:28:57,593
Are you moonlighting
as a janitor, Doctor?
568
00:28:57,594 --> 00:29:00,489
[chuckles dryly] Damn clinic.
569
00:29:01,456 --> 00:29:03,975
Why don't you come in
and lie down for a minute?
570
00:29:03,976 --> 00:29:05,726
[quietly]
So you don't scare the children.
571
00:29:05,727 --> 00:29:07,812
Yeah, of course. [clears throat]
572
00:29:07,813 --> 00:29:11,190
The powder room's inside,
and you can just freshen up.
573
00:29:11,191 --> 00:29:13,526
I'm sorry, Mrs. Wittering.
574
00:29:13,527 --> 00:29:15,128
For everything.
575
00:29:16,029 --> 00:29:20,133
[intriguing music]
576
00:29:22,494 --> 00:29:23,637
[front door slams]
577
00:29:24,204 --> 00:29:27,790
[gasps] Hey!
There's the birthday boy.
578
00:29:27,791 --> 00:29:29,500
Hello.
579
00:29:29,501 --> 00:29:31,043
What's wrong?
580
00:29:31,044 --> 00:29:32,962
Elias: Oh, he's just
a little hungry, right, champ?
581
00:29:32,963 --> 00:29:35,047
You get yourself
a cheeseburger and some cake,
582
00:29:35,048 --> 00:29:36,340
you're gonna perk right up.
583
00:29:36,341 --> 00:29:38,467
Okay, Daddy.
584
00:29:38,468 --> 00:29:40,177
Miss Parsons: Come.
585
00:29:40,178 --> 00:29:42,471
Let's get you something to eat
and we'll find your friends.
586
00:29:42,472 --> 00:29:45,808
Everybody is waiting to
celebrate you for your birthday.
587
00:29:45,809 --> 00:29:46,934
Look!
588
00:29:46,935 --> 00:29:49,186
One, two, three!
589
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:51,081
[Elias sighs]
590
00:29:54,693 --> 00:29:56,193
He missed half the party.
591
00:29:56,194 --> 00:29:59,905
Uh, the doctors need
to run some more tests.
592
00:29:59,906 --> 00:30:01,824
Tests? What tests?
593
00:30:01,825 --> 00:30:04,452
I promise you,
he's gonna be fine.
594
00:30:04,453 --> 00:30:06,537
He doesn't look fine.
595
00:30:06,538 --> 00:30:08,080
No problems all year,
596
00:30:08,081 --> 00:30:10,166
and now suddenly he's sick
to his stomach every day?
597
00:30:10,167 --> 00:30:13,002
Just a temporary reaction
to the new seizure medication.
598
00:30:13,003 --> 00:30:15,504
Hey, let's go
and enjoy the party, though.
599
00:30:15,505 --> 00:30:17,524
It's a really nice turnout, huh?
600
00:30:18,592 --> 00:30:20,193
You're lying to me.
601
00:30:22,346 --> 00:30:24,364
You seem a little agitated, darling.
602
00:30:25,515 --> 00:30:27,725
Do you need me
to go and get your pills?
603
00:30:27,726 --> 00:30:32,313
Or maybe, um, you need a few
more days back at the clinic?
604
00:30:32,314 --> 00:30:35,024
Nice, quiet room, get some rest,
605
00:30:35,025 --> 00:30:37,210
talk to someone?
606
00:30:37,944 --> 00:30:39,612
Bill: There he is!
607
00:30:39,613 --> 00:30:42,615
I was beginning to wonder if
our new director of operations
608
00:30:42,616 --> 00:30:44,867
was too good to hobnob
with the hoi polloi.
609
00:30:44,868 --> 00:30:47,453
[chuckles] Bill. Hey,
you're looking a little light.
610
00:30:47,454 --> 00:30:49,497
Come on. I'll top you off.
611
00:30:49,498 --> 00:30:54,835

Boy: He's a bomb!
Jason's a bomb!
614
00:31:00,384 --> 00:31:02,885
He's gonna explode! Get away!
615
00:31:02,886 --> 00:31:05,238
- [Geiger counter clicking]
- Run away, run away!
616
00:31:06,973 --> 00:31:12,269
[hushed murmuring]
617
00:31:12,270 --> 00:31:13,872
Oh, my God.
618
00:31:15,399 --> 00:31:18,067
Are you okay, honey?
What's wrong?
619
00:31:18,068 --> 00:31:20,236
Jason: We were playing
in the bomb shelter.
620
00:31:20,237 --> 00:31:22,238
I didn't mean to scare anyone.
621
00:31:22,239 --> 00:31:24,490
What do you mean?
622
00:31:24,491 --> 00:31:26,325
[clicking]
623
00:31:26,326 --> 00:31:27,928
What is...
624
00:31:36,086 --> 00:31:38,421
Mommy, I don't feel good.
625

632

Where is he?
633
00:32:28,722 --> 00:32:30,097
Elias: He'll be fine.
634
00:32:30,098 --> 00:32:31,599
What do you mean, fine?
635
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,309
Elias: Oh, Pam...
636
00:32:33,310 --> 00:32:35,394
Why couldn't I stay
with him at the clinic?
637
00:32:35,395 --> 00:32:38,481
They had to move him
to a restricted ward
638
00:32:38,482 --> 00:32:40,024
so they could
treat him properly.
639
00:32:40,025 --> 00:32:41,734
Treat him for what?
640
00:32:41,735 --> 00:32:44,945
Well,
it's-- it's hard to explain.
641
00:32:44,946 --> 00:32:46,906
Uh, um, very technical.
642
00:32:46,907 --> 00:32:48,866
I don-- I don't even
fully understand.
643
00:32:48,867 --> 00:32:50,326
Well, when can I see him?
644
00:32:50,327 --> 00:32:52,661
Well, they wanna keep him
for a few extra days
645
00:32:52,662 --> 00:32:54,788
so they can
monitor his progress.
646
00:32:54,789 --> 00:32:56,999
But I promise you,
he's feeling much better.
647
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,335
He'll be home soon.
And-- [forced chuckle]
648
00:32:59,336 --> 00:33:01,879
the-- the doctors,
they said it was only a virus.
649
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,380
A virus?
650
00:33:03,381 --> 00:33:05,466
He was bleeding and
his hair came off in my hand.
651
00:33:05,467 --> 00:33:06,884
- Calm down.
- What--
652
00:33:06,885 --> 00:33:08,403
Has he been
exposed to radiation?
653
00:33:09,037 --> 00:33:11,722
That's absurd. What, because
of the old Geiger counter?
654
00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:13,724
That thing,
that goes off for no reason.
655
00:33:13,725 --> 00:33:16,727
Are they doing
some kind of radiation therapy?
656
00:33:16,728 --> 00:33:20,397
He-- he's getting
the best possible care, Pam.
657
00:33:20,398 --> 00:33:22,066
How can you say that?
658
00:33:22,067 --> 00:33:23,943
You saw him at the party.
659
00:33:23,944 --> 00:33:26,111
He could barely stay awake.
660
00:33:26,112 --> 00:33:28,781
I mean, he's not himself.
He hasn't been for weeks.
661
00:33:28,782 --> 00:33:31,158
Well, experimental therapies,
they have side effects.
662
00:33:31,159 --> 00:33:33,118
You know,
and he's a sick kid, Pam.
663
00:33:33,119 --> 00:33:35,579
You are the ones
making him sick!
664
00:33:35,580 --> 00:33:38,916
- [Elias sighs]
- I'm not gonna let you
665
00:33:38,917 --> 00:33:40,918
use him like a guinea pig.
666
00:33:40,919 --> 00:33:44,588
I want another opinion
outside of the company.
667
00:33:44,589 --> 00:33:46,274
And I'm gonna take him some--
668
00:33:47,509 --> 00:33:51,947
[♪]
669
00:33:53,765 --> 00:33:55,516
You're not taking him anywhere.
670
00:33:55,517 --> 00:33:59,228
He's gonna complete his course
of treatment at the clinic.
671
00:33:59,229 --> 00:34:01,105
End of discussion.
672
00:34:01,106 --> 00:34:05,150
And if you do anything
to undo the progress
673
00:34:05,151 --> 00:34:07,278
that we have made so far,
674
00:34:07,279 --> 00:34:09,446
I-- [grunts]
675
00:34:09,447 --> 00:34:12,616
What? You'll what?
676
00:34:12,617 --> 00:34:16,287
I'll divorce you
and take full custody of Jason,
677
00:34:16,288 --> 00:34:18,974
and you will
never see him again.
678
00:34:21,334 --> 00:34:23,436
You wouldn't do that.
679
00:34:25,297 --> 00:34:27,899
Come on, no judge would
even let you do that.
680
00:34:29,217 --> 00:34:31,969
Um, who do you think
they're gonna side with?
681
00:34:31,970 --> 00:34:34,305
A pillar
of the business community,
682
00:34:34,306 --> 00:34:39,184
or a former lounge singer who
takes psychiatric medication
683
00:34:39,185 --> 00:34:41,579
ever since she nearly
drowned her baby?
684
00:34:45,859 --> 00:34:47,460
What happened to you?
685
00:34:50,905 --> 00:34:54,801
Um, I need to get back to work,
and you need to go to sleep.
686
00:34:56,411 --> 00:34:59,496
The gala is this weekend.
I'm the keynote speaker.
687
00:34:59,497 --> 00:35:02,666
There are some
very important investors
688
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:04,168
who are gonna be there,
689
00:35:04,169 --> 00:35:06,754
and I need to walk in
with my wife on my arm,
690
00:35:06,755 --> 00:35:10,317
looking healthy and rested.
691
00:35:13,136 --> 00:35:15,530

Excuse me.

Ah, Mrs. Wittering.

00:38:43,763 --> 00:38:45,222
I haven't been able to see him.
714
00:38:45,223 --> 00:38:48,392
Yes, well, uh,
it shouldn't be long.
715
00:38:48,393 --> 00:38:51,162
Just being... cautious.
716
00:38:52,981 --> 00:38:54,541
Big night for your husband.
717
00:38:57,068 --> 00:38:58,753
Is Dr. Valentine here?
718
00:38:59,737 --> 00:39:00,880
He, um--
719
00:39:01,447 --> 00:39:03,925
he should be along
a little later.
720
00:39:05,827 --> 00:39:09,079
Would you be a doll and
fetch me another Manhattan?
721
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:10,515
I'm parched.
722
00:39:11,541 --> 00:39:12,850
Of course.
723
00:39:16,546 --> 00:39:21,609

00:39:29,309 --> 00:39:30,910

00:39:40,528 --> 00:39:44,031

some things the other day
727
00:39:44,032 --> 00:39:46,551
I desperately wish
I could take back.
728
00:39:47,827 --> 00:39:50,454
Obviously with
confidentiality requirements,
729
00:39:50,455 --> 00:39:52,414
I haven't been able
to share things with you
730
00:39:52,415 --> 00:39:53,957
that I wish I could have.
731
00:39:53,958 --> 00:39:56,811
But that all changes tonight.
732
00:39:58,588 --> 00:40:01,089
I just hope that once
everything's been made clear,
733
00:40:01,090 --> 00:40:04,319
you'll understand
how much I love our family.
734
00:40:07,764 --> 00:40:09,949
Because I love you, Pam.
735
00:40:11,142 --> 00:40:13,286
And Jason, so very much.
736
00:40:14,053 --> 00:40:19,167
And you have no idea the gift
that you have given the world.
737
00:40:21,152 --> 00:40:22,670
What are you saying?
738
00:40:25,615 --> 00:40:26,782
Host: Ladies and gentlemen,
739
00:40:26,783 --> 00:40:28,283
if you'll please
take your seats.
740
00:40:28,284 --> 00:40:30,261
The program will begin shortly.
741
00:40:31,496 --> 00:40:32,680
That's my cue.
742
00:40:33,831 --> 00:40:35,165
I better freshen up.
743
00:40:35,166 --> 00:40:37,936
I don't wanna miss
a minute of your speech.
744
00:40:48,388 --> 00:40:50,263
Host: Our keynote speaker
moved here
745
00:40:50,264 --> 00:40:53,934
a little over four years
ago from our New York office,
746
00:40:53,935 --> 00:40:58,063
where he was a junior sales
manager for household products.
747
00:40:58,064 --> 00:41:01,650
- [audience laughter]
- And in that brief time,
748
00:41:01,651 --> 00:41:04,528
he has become much, much more.
749
00:41:04,529 --> 00:41:07,489
Upon joining our RandD division,
750
00:41:07,490 --> 00:41:10,283
he completely
transformed the department,
751
00:41:10,284 --> 00:41:15,872
heralding a wave of innovation
in our lab sciences group.
752
00:41:15,873 --> 00:41:19,084
Tonight, he'll be sharing
some of that cutting-edge work
753
00:41:19,085 --> 00:41:22,212
with all of you
for the very first time.
754
00:41:22,213 --> 00:41:24,881
Please join me in welcoming
755
00:41:24,882 --> 00:41:28,135
a rising star in
the Bellflower family,
756
00:41:28,136 --> 00:41:29,886
Elias Wittering.
757
00:41:29,887 --> 00:41:33,265
[applause]
758
00:41:33,266 --> 00:41:34,766
Deeply appreciate it.
759
00:41:34,767 --> 00:41:38,103
Thank you. Thank you all
for coming out tonight.
760
00:41:38,104 --> 00:41:40,397
Um, less than two years ago,
761
00:41:40,398 --> 00:41:43,191
we stood at the precipice
of nuclear war
762
00:41:43,192 --> 00:41:44,568
with the Soviet Union.
763
00:41:44,569 --> 00:41:46,486
Or, to put
a finer point on it,
764
00:41:46,487 --> 00:41:50,282
the total annihilation
of life on Earth.
765
00:41:50,283 --> 00:41:52,951
In the months and years since,
the bellicose rhetoric
766
00:41:52,952 --> 00:41:55,787
between our two nations
has only increased.
767
00:41:55,788 --> 00:42:00,625
As we speak, the Russians
have a nuclear arsenal
768
00:42:00,626 --> 00:42:04,129
pointed at our cities,
and we theirs,
769
00:42:04,130 --> 00:42:08,300
a grim reality which sparked
an existential question
770
00:42:08,301 --> 00:42:11,053
among our team here
at Bellflower:
771
00:42:11,054 --> 00:42:15,742
how do we prepare for
what is inevitable?
772
00:42:16,809 --> 00:42:19,102
Well, as it stands, uh,
773
00:42:19,103 --> 00:42:20,729
there is only one creature
on Earth
774
00:42:20,730 --> 00:42:23,666
who can survive
an atomic blast.
775
00:42:26,486 --> 00:42:28,070
[laughter]
776
00:42:28,071 --> 00:42:29,654
Well, it's not so funny
when one of those little buggers
777
00:42:29,655 --> 00:42:31,198
scuttles out
from under the stove,
778
00:42:31,199 --> 00:42:32,842
right, ladies? [chuckles]
779
00:42:33,443 --> 00:42:36,661
Uh, but we allowed
ourselves to wonder,
780
00:42:36,662 --> 00:42:41,333
what if we could survive
this eventuality as well?
781
00:42:41,334 --> 00:42:45,504
Fortify humans to survive,
and yes, even to thrive,
782
00:42:45,505 --> 00:42:48,507
on the surface
of an irradiated Earth.
783
00:42:48,508 --> 00:42:50,342
Science fiction?
784
00:42:50,343 --> 00:42:54,096
Once, maybe, but not anymore.
785
00:42:54,097 --> 00:42:56,348
After years
of rigorous experimentation,
786
00:42:56,349 --> 00:43:00,644
our team has managed to
replicate the cellular process
787
00:43:00,645 --> 00:43:05,899
that enables a cockroach
to withstand radioactive fallout
788
00:43:05,900 --> 00:43:07,901
in a human being.
789
00:43:07,902 --> 00:43:11,589
[hushed murmuring]
790
00:43:12,423 --> 00:43:15,867
Since undergoing treatment
in this very building,
791
00:43:15,868 --> 00:43:20,831
our Phase One test subject
has developed a cellular matrix
792
00:43:20,832 --> 00:43:25,877
capable of hyperproliferation
far beyond normal thresholds.
793
00:43:25,878 --> 00:43:31,299
Uncanny levels of resilience
to radioactive bombardment.
794
00:43:31,300 --> 00:43:34,052
In the same way
that pruning a tree
795
00:43:34,053 --> 00:43:36,930
can
paradoxically stimulate it,
796
00:43:36,931 --> 00:43:38,431
this subject,
797
00:43:38,432 --> 00:43:41,768
trauma actually
makes him stronger.
798
00:43:41,769 --> 00:43:46,898
In fact, it could spur
accelerated physical growth,
799
00:43:46,899 --> 00:43:49,901
which is why we are currently
developing a technique
800
00:43:49,902 --> 00:43:51,653
to harvest his DNA,
801
00:43:51,654 --> 00:43:54,966
the molecule that
carries genetic information.
802
00:43:55,666 --> 00:43:57,450
- [phone ringing]
- And with rigorous effort,
803
00:43:57,451 --> 00:43:59,494
we believe we are
only three years away
804
00:43:59,495 --> 00:44:04,124
from being able to replicate
these results in others.
805
00:44:04,125 --> 00:44:07,210
Concurrently, we are
proceeding with Phase Two.
806
00:44:07,211 --> 00:44:11,548
More than 100 new subjects have
received in-utero inoculations,
807
00:44:11,549 --> 00:44:14,050
and while none
of the resultant offspring
808
00:44:14,051 --> 00:44:16,761
have fared as well as Subject J,
809
00:44:16,762 --> 00:44:20,891
still, each trial has
yielded critical new data.

[♪]
811
00:44:27,064 --> 00:44:31,109
Our belief is
that these advances
812
00:44:31,110 --> 00:44:34,446
will redefine
what it means to be human
813
00:44:34,447 --> 00:44:36,448
and ensure a safe
814
00:44:36,449 --> 00:44:40,952
and prosperous
future for all mankind.

where Bellflower's bold
innovations reshape the world.
820

This is the future
that we will build together.

You know
I can't let you do that.

Jason is a very fragile boy.
838
00:46:42,383 --> 00:46:45,076
He requires regular infusions
of chemicals
839
00:46:45,077 --> 00:46:47,430
and medications
only we can provide.
840
00:46:48,164 --> 00:46:51,416
Deprive him of treatment,
and he'll die.
