Why don't you want kids?

Hi, Ella.

I'm Dr. Webber.

Nice to meet you, Dr. Webber.

My husband, Aidan Patel,
speaks so highly of you.

Says that you are the best of the best.

We all love Aidan
down at the hospital.

Keeps things light.
[Ella chuckles]

I like him too.

So we're just here for your annual?

- ELLA: Yes.
- Okay.

[chair whirring]

Okay, we're gonna start
with your breast exam.

- Mm.
- Tender?

Just around my cycle.

Mm.

Um, my mother passed away
from breast cancer

when she was my age.

That's why Aidan wanted me
to start seeing you this year.

Hmm.

Go ahead
and scoot down for me.

Are you, uh, taking
any kind of birth control?

I stopped taking birth control
when I was 35

'cause of the breast cancer thing.

DR. WEBBER:
Ah.

ELLA:
So we just use condoms.

[gel squelching]

Ugh.

[lid snaps shut]

Just a little pressure.

Are you and Aidan planning
on starting a family?

Just don't think
I'm quite ready yet.

All done. You can sit up now.

[groans softly]

[sighs]

Everything looks good.

But you're 37?

- Yes.
- Mm.

It's technically geriatric,

so, unfortunately, you don't get

to be not quite ready yet anymore.

Well, it's not that I'm not quite ready,

it's that I just actually
don't want children.

I never have.

I keep waiting for my clock
to start ticking.

I wake up every morning
hoping that today will be the day.

But it just hasn't happened.

I think I actually
don't have a clock.

- It's just--
- All women have a biological clock.

Maybe yours is just broken.

Well, there she is.

JOSEPH:
Oh.

[bag unzipping]

Oh.

I keep telling you,
we have way better swag now, Dad.

We have, uh, iPad cases, totes.

Oh! No, I like my pens.

JOSEPH/ELLA:
Are you kidding me?

This is caviar.

You brought him more pens.

- Wow.
- I cleared out, like, six boxes

of those things
from his office last week.

So? Oh, my God.

That looks great, what is that?

Beluga.

Beluga Caviar and pens.
What did I do to deserve this?

Mwah!

Well, we could all
be dead tomorrow.

Don't say that. You do not say--
What's wrong with you?

Pull your ears right now.
Pull your ears.

- There.
- Right.

That looks amazing, babe.

Look at the two of you,
you're both so wonderful.

You, you're the best cook I know.

And you have a beautiful home,
you have wonderful careers.

Look at you, you're crazy
about each other. Mm?

Only one thing, there's a couple
of empty chairs at the table.

Dad, can we not?
Can we just enjoy this meal?

Her mother and I,
we would've had more.

We would've had six,
we would've had seven.

We loved each other that much.

But, you know, she was sick,
she was too sick.

Not about how much
you love your spouse, Dad.

JOSEPH:
You know, her grandparents?

Ah, that's all they ever wanted,
they wanted a big family.

Can we not bring
Zadie and Bubbie into this?

Yeah. Ah, I'm sorry
you don't want to hear it.

I'm sorry
that makes you uncomfortable.

But really, their story
is also your story.

And it is a story
that is much bigger than you.

[chuckling] It's a story that started

when the fish first crawled
out of the sea.

It's a story about becoming primates,
becoming humans.

It's a story about your ancestors

who survived thousands of years.

Survived the camps.

For what, for it all to end
right now, with you?

- Dad.

Well, I'm just speaking reality.

There's not a lot of us left.

I just have to go.

Well, you want a family, so--

Not like this.

I want us both to want one
or I don't want one at all.

Well, then you're probably
shit out of luck, Aidan.

Yeah, I know, El.

We've been through this
a million times,

and every time I tell you,
as long as I get to be with you,

I'm happy, with or without kids.

I wish I believed that.
I really wish I believed that.

I don't know what else
you want me to say.

There's nothing to say.

There's nothing that people
haven't been saying

since we were married
10 years ago,

when I was fresh and shiny
and chock full of eggs.

I just-- I-I am about
to be 38 years old, Aidan,

and I am out of time.

I'm out of time.

Why do you seem surprised by this?

We both knew this day was coming.

And there's no magic potion
out there that's gonna fix you.

[knock on door]

Mm-hmm.

You know what?

Don't even worry
about it right now.

Hi, I'm Dr. Simmons.

Ella Patel.

Well, I'm grateful you're here, Ella.

This is my study we're conducting,

and anyone who volunteers
their time is much appreciated.

Thank you.

Well, let me break down
the next 10 days for you

so that you know what to expect.

First off, my background is
in obstetrics and gynecology

with an emphasis on the cognitive side

of fertility issues.

I have seen too many women
like you over the years

just pulling their hair out, miserable,

because they don't want to have children.

But after hearing their stories

and knowing their medical history,

I have become 100 percent convinced

that this is
a fixable physiological issue.

The idea is simple.

It is the singular evolutionary goal
of a species to procreate.

That is our purpose, right?

- Right.
- Which says to me that

because you are otherwise
physically healthy,

your system is just a little off,
chemically, mentally.

No different than someone
with depression. You follow?

- Sure.
- So the whole goal of this trial

is to get you back realigned
with your natural state.

And what does that involve?

A multi-pronged approach.

We administer medication,

a newly engineered synthetic hormone--

- Synthetic?
- A regimen of pills.

The same naturally occurring hormones
that already exist in your body,

just formulated
to up your desire for kids.

And we pair that course
of treatment with CBT,

cognitive behavioral therapy.

Sorry, how much
can you really accomplish

with 10 days of therapy?

So we use a very targeted approach.

Intense, but effective.

And look, this trial is just
a jumping-off point.

Don't expect to leave here in 10 days
with baby fever.

I'm not a magician.

But we can refer you
to someone good after,

and you can continue
the work if you choose.

- Hmm.
- Hey.

You showed up today.
Hardest part is already over.

Tonight, just relax

and let modern medicine
do the rest.

Uh, did, uh,
Cara show you the dining room?

The food here
is actually really good.

Fresh.

Okay then, I will see you tomorrow.

Dr. Simmons.

I might be a tough case.

You're not a case to me, Ella.

You're a human being,
and the best kind, too.

What kind is that?

A woman.

[chuckles]
[door closes]

♪ foreboding music ♪

[exhales]

I just don't want
the responsibility.

And... being constantly covered
in throw-up,

cleaning up shit.

Like, that's your reward?

That's if you even make it
through the birth.

DR. SIMMONS:
What do you mean by that?

"Make it through the birth."

Like, if you make it through
your pelvis separating,

or the vaginal cysts.

Clogged ducts, the blood, shit, pain.

DR. SIMMONS:
Well, there are meds for that.

[scoffs] Yeah.

Hard pass on a giant needle
in my spine.

DR. SIMMONS: You know,
it's highly unlikely for a woman to die

or suffer lasting side effects
in childbirth these days.

But why take the risk?

DR. SIMMONS: Have you ever considered
that you might have tokophobia?

Tokophobia?

A pathological fear of pregnancy.

I didn't know there was
a technical term for it,

but... yeah,

I'm terrified.

And yet you chose to come here
to conquer your fears.

That must mean a lot to your husband.

[chuckles]

He doesn't know that I'm here.

Oh.

Interesting. Why not?

Because what if it doesn't work?

Now, a diagnosis is good,
but it's meaningless

unless we uncover why your phobia exists.

What drives it.

Okay.

DR. SIMMONS:
Don't be nervous.

You're just gonna look at some cards

and tell me what you see.

ELLA:
Like a Rorschach test?

DR. SIMMONS:
Similar.

Some women see more than others,

but the amount doesn't mean anything.

Sit with them.

[exhales softly]

Are you seeing this?

DR. SIMMONS:
Tell me what you're seeing.

A very tall woman.

DR. SIMMONS:
Anything else?

Oh.
DR. SIMMONS: Yes?

A pile of--

A-a family of... of dead bugs.

Spiders.

A grandfather clock.

Yeah.

Anything else?

Hmm.

No, nothing else.

What do they all mean?

We will get to the bottom
of that tomorrow.

[pills rattling]

[clock ticking]

[thud]

Well, I guess we should start
with the easy one.

Okay. Let's start with the easy one.

My dad has a massive
grandfather coffin in his living room.

It's a very important family heirloom,
our one and only.

DR. SIMMONS:
And why is it so important?

'Cause it's the one thing that they--

Finish that sentence?

Recovered from their home
after the war.

And who is they?

My grandparents.

Survivors. Birkenau.

That explains why you called it
a coffin a moment ago.

I didn't call it a coffin.

You called it a grandfather coffin.

Why do you think
it symbolizes death to you?

Is it possible that
what that clock symbolizes

to everyone else, survival, is meaningless

if you as an only child
make no heirs to pass it on to?

Perhaps it feels like
a physical representation

of the final resting place
of your family's storyline.

A coffin.

Okay.

And the spiders.

Uh, you said you saw a, a pile of--

a, a family of, uh, dead bugs.

Well, that one seems
pretty easy too now.

- Tell me.
- Well, that's how they did it.

They called us bugs
until people believed them.

You exterminate bugs. Insects.

And when they were done,
they just piled us.

One on top of the other.

It's uncomfortable
to talk about, isn't it?

Horrifying. The ultimate evil.

Why do you say that?

"The ultimate evil."

[chuckles]

Well, I hardly need to tell you.

Uh, six million--

Yeah, but there have been
far greater numbers,

genocides, than that.

So why do people consider
this one the worst?

Because things were good.

This happened amongst wealthy,
educated, cultured people.

Modern people,
between neighbors and friends,

husbands and wives,

doctors... and patients.

So deep down, people understand
that if it happened there and then,

it could happen here and now.

That scares the living shit out of them.

What one might be willing to do
to another human being

if society simply
gave them permission.

And you... struggle

with the concept of bringing
a child into a world like that.

Anyone who doesn't
isn't paying attention.

And the very tall woman?

No clue.

Okay.

Very good work today.

Now, before we end,

I want to talk to you about
the results of your blood work.

The numbers are what
would be considered low.

It won't be impossible
for you to get pregnant,

but in order to accelerate the process,

I would like to offer you
the option of an implant.

Implant?

We are finding it highly effective.

When?

On your last day, we would do
a simple procedure, painless,

Valium, and implant a small device

that would dispense additional hormones

in conjunction with the pills.

ELLA:
And how long does that have to stay in?

DR. SIMMONS: Well, the good news,
actually, is that, uh,

it's not meant to come out.

Permanent.

that this is a voluntary program

that women in pain sign up for.

I'm not feeling very good.

Ugh.

Oh.

[whispering] I think we have to go.

AIDAN:
Okay.

ELLA: I'll be back tomorrow...
SHAUNA: Wait.

ELLA:
...to start the nursery.

Thank you.

[sighs]

SHAUNA: Oh, okay, love you guys.
AIDAN: Love you.

FIONA: Is she okay?
AIDAN: Yeah, she's fine, she's fine.

Just tired.

SHAUNA:
Let me know what time--

Aidan.

Harvey?

HARVEY:
Yes, sweetheart?

Why'd you change everything around?

Huh?

I can't find anything.

Yeah, I didn't change a thing.

Harvey, this is where
the blues are.

I'm looking for sky blue.
This is where the blues are.

Yeah. Aisle three.

You're in the right spot.

Right. Sorry.

HARVEY:
Hey, holler if you need me.

Hello.

DR. SIMMONS:
Ella, how are you?

Dr. Simmons?

DR. SIMMONS:
It's your one-week check-in.

How are things going?

Right, yeah, good.

But--
DR. SIMMONS: But what?

I don't know. I'm not--

DR. SIMMONS: [chuckles]
Baby crazy.

I can feel the beginnings of it.

- DR. SIMMONS: Good.
- I can.

Which is so, so great.
DR. SIMMONS: Good.

It just--

I'm not quite there yet.

DR. SIMMONS: Give the hormones
a few months to fully kick in.

Thought you said I don't have
that kind of time.

DR. SIMMONS: Are you experiencing
any negative side effects?

Vertigo, insomnia?

If I was?

DR. SIMMONS:
We'd stop the meds immediately.

So I'd be disqualified.

DR. SIMMONS:
Well, it's not pass/fail, Ella.

This is your health we're talking about,
so I need you to be honest with me.

Are you experiencing any side effects?

Hot.

I'm hot.

DR. SIMMONS: Perfectly normal
as your body adjusts.

Okay, let's up your dosage.

300 milligrams per day,
that's truly the limit.

- Don't miss a dose.
- Okay.

DR. SIMMONS:
Call if anything changes.

- Otherwise, we'll talk next week.
- Okay.

DR. SIMMONS:
Oh, and Ella?

Yes?

DR. SIMMONS:
Happy birthday.

Thank you, Dr. Simmons.

Hello.

I'm Dr. Elizabeth Simmons.

And today, we'll be learning
to perform maintenance

on a working clock.

We will take the clock apart,
reassemble it,

and then put it in beat
so that it will run--

We will be using a wrench, pliers,

and tweezers.

We will take the clock apart--

So that it will run reliably.

Don't, don't. I just--

Need to stretch my legs.

Yeah. Sure. One second.

Dad, we're here.

Hello?

Hi, Ella, Dr. Simmons here.

Hi.
DR. SIMMONS: Two-week check-in.

[clock ticking]
JOSEPH: They decided
to take me off the Plavix,

and now he's decided
to put me on something called--

It's some-- Uh, it's some empire.

AIDAN: Empire?
JOSEPH: Byzantine or something.

I don't know.
They come up with these ridiculous names.

[ticking continues]

AIDAN: Persantine.
JOSEPH: Persantine, yes.

AIDAN:
Okay, uh--

[muffled conversation]

Look, this is you and your mother.

You couldn't have been more than,
I don't know,

you're probably
two days old here.

She was so excited
about becoming a mother.

Which reminds me,
I have to call your mother back,

because she promised to bring me over
the whatchamacallit stuff

I love with the pistachios.

[laughing] I love it.
AIDAN: Okay.

JOSEPH: And-- Oh, look at you here,
oh, my God, how cute you are!

My little flaterl.

AIDAN:
Flaterl?

My little butterfly,
my little butterfly.

And somebody's bar mitzvah,
I don't know whose.

And something-- What's under here?

Oh, my God.

I have been looking
for this photograph for years.

Who is that?

What? Well, you--
Well, you know who this is.

- No, I don't.
- Yeah, this is your grandmother.

This is the first picture
that she had taken in America.

Well, it's understandable.

I mean, you don't recognize her

because she's only 80 pounds here.

She just came out of the camps.

[panting]
She's horrifying.

- What?
- El.

That woman lived a horror story.

Yeah, well, I never wanna hear
her story again.

Well, you can close your ears
and you can close your eyes,

but you can't outrun her.

We trace our line through the women,
through the matriarchs.

Her story is in you.

- It's your legacy.
- Quite the inheritance.

What?

Let me tell you something, Ella.

When somebody receives an inheritance,

they can either graciously accept
what's been given to them,

or they can piss it away.

They can just piss it away.

Don't do that.

- And you, my ungrateful child...
- Don't do that. Don't do that.

- ...you've chosen to just piss it away.
- Dad, stop. Just stop.

Stop, Dad.

- What about this? Us!
- No.

- Not that one. Not that one.
- Piss us--

- No!
- Piss us away.

The entire family line.
ELLA: [crying] No. Stop.

I'm trying, Dad.

[sniffles] Uh.

I promise I am trying.

[Ella crying]

DR. SIMMONS:
A regimen of pills.

The same naturally occurring hormones

that already exist in your body.

Just formulated to
up your desire for kids.

Don't miss a dose.

Is this some kind of insane joke?

I told you not to come in here.
It's not ready yet.

No, I mean, what is this?

Just got confused.

Ella, I am due in a week.
Where am I gonna put him?

Where am I gonna put my son?

I just wanted him to bring him home.

Somewhere beautiful.
Somewhere safe!

What is going on with you?

Where did you go?

Where did my friend go?

I went t-to a place

so that I could catch up.

So that we could do this together.

Be moms together.

I just... needed a little bit of help

because this doesn't come naturally to me.

SHAUNA:
No, no, stop with that shit.

- I don't wanna hear it anymore.
- Hear what?

How it doesn't come naturally to you
when all you have to do

is spread your legs to make it happen.

That's how easy it could be for you.

That is something that I will never have
with the person that I love.

I don't get to have that.
And it hurts.

Oh.

It hurts.

Ohh!

Fi! Oh.

Fi. Fi, my water!

It's so beautiful.

What the hell are you doing?
What are you doing?

What the hell are you doing?

[muffled]
Stop it. Stop!

What is wrong with you?

Ella, what the fuck
is wrong with you?

- I wanna see it.
- Don't, don't touch me.

- Just let me see it!
- No! No!

Fi, get her out of here!

- ELLA: Give me the baby.
- No, get off of her!

Get off of her!

ELLA:
No, I just wanna see it!

I don't care what anybody says.

I just care about you

I want a baby with you, Aidan.

Look at my eyes.

You always said you'd be able
to tell when I was ready.

[chuckles]

But--

How long has it been?
Since I left?

- Two weeks.
- Mm-hmm.

You haven't let me near you since.

Longest we've ever gone.

Aidan.

Don't be upset.

Don't be upset.

I met Elizabeth at a convention.

She's cutting edge.

The best of the best.

That's what you said about Dr. Webber.

Who you sent me to

because you were worried
about breast cancer.

Right, Aidan?

That's why you sent me to her?

Because you were worried
about... breast cancer?

I just wanted the option
presented by someone objective.

Someone who could talk
to you objectively

so you could decide yourself
if you wanted to go.

Because I never wanted
to pressure you.

Well, aren't you a fucking hero?

No, we're not going to your office.

We're going to the exam room,

this goddamn implant out
right fucking now.

That implant is not meant to come out.

But it can come out, right?

No.

It would damage you permanently.

You would never be able to have children.

And what makes you think

Because I know that you want them now.

Because my program works.

I want a baby more than anything.

Hey. It's okay.

Because I think I'm getting divorced.

You said you weren't a magician,

You have made me see things,

feel things.

Have they told you

about the side effects?

Of course, they haven't.

And we are so desperate
