Nothing like the face of a baby,

is there?

Sure, if you like babies,

I think you'll find
that being pregnant

will change your
feelings about that,

You want me to be
mushy about this?

That's weird,
considering this isn't my baby,

What I'm saying

is that having a new
life inside of you

can be a very
positive experience,

I think you'll be
pleasantly surprised

by the changes
that come over you,

Sure,

Whatever,

Okay, I'm going to be gentle,

but you may feel
a little cramping

when I insert the embryo,

What happens if it doesn't take?

Do I still get paid?

It's all laid out in
the contract you signed,

but to be honest, Claire,

I don't think you'll
have any problems,

We have a pretty
high success rate,

I don't mean to sound mercenary,

it's just,,, I need the
money, you know?

What kind of art was it
that you said you did?

It's kind of abstract,

I don't do baby faces,
if you know what I mean,

Uh-huh,

That's it? You're done?

Wait till we get to the birth,

I'm even better,

Now, then,
I'm going to need you to lie quietly

for a half-Hour or so,

The nurse will be
in to check on you

in a moment,

You did great, Claire,

Did it go okay?

Is it going to work out?

Oh, so far, so good,

The embryo was in
excellent shape,

so there's no reason

to think it won't find
a good and happy home

in Claire's body,

I really would love
to meet Claire,

Do you think it would be okay?

To be honest,

I don't think she's
quite ready yet,

She needs a little time,

Just a sec,

I know it's hard,

but I want you to bear with me,

I don't think I've
met a better candidate

than this young lady,

She'll come around,
They always do,

How did we do?

Just fine,

The embryo

has successfully
implanted itself,

It's viable?

Oh Yeah,

It's alive,

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
imination 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,

The beauty of motherhood
and the Miracle of New life

connects us to our humanity,,,

or does it?

What do you mean
you did it already?

I told you when I
left this morning

that I was serious,

Did you think I was kidding?

I thought you were serious

about needing money,

not about doing this,

You don't know anything
about being pregnant,

It's not rocket science,

I'll figure it
out as I go along,

Yeah, well,
just because you had the procedure

doesn't mean you're
actually pregnant,

Believe me, I am,

It doesn't matter,

Look, do you want me to move in

and share expenses with you?

I'll do it,

Ben, this isn't about us,

It's about me,

I've been doing a lot
of soul-Searching...

What I need, what I don't need,

and it's time for
me to get serious

about my life and about my art,

and this will give
me that chance,

You moving in here won't,

Considering all the
back rent you owe?

What did they give you,
a couple thousand dollars?

Try $15,000,

and another $15,000
when the baby comes,

All right, but, Claire,,,

don't shut me out of your life,

I don't want to,

Let me go through this with you,

The kind of women they
want for surrogates

are single,

not attached,

no relationships,

Yeah, okay,

I got it,

I know you when you
make up your mind

about something,

and I'll back off,,,

but if you wake up in the
night and you need someone...

I'll keep it in mind,

I will,

Thank you,

It kind of feels like
a hand or a foot,

moving over here
and then up here,

I kind of felt
something this morning

over here,

I mean, is that even possible?

You're nine weeks, right, Emily?

It would be a little early,

But not entirely unheard of,

Some babies are quite capable

of movement,

What you probably felt
was them shifting,

and not any
particular body part,

Morning, ladies,

Morning,

I have a new member
for your group,

This is Claire,

Claire, this is the
surrogacy support group,

Rebecca, one of our
nurses, runs the Group,

Hi,

That's Mary,,,

our Darling Lorraine,,,

uh, Gina's back there,

and the beautiful lady

with the beginnings of a
bulge, that's Fern,

and next to her is Emily,

Hi,

How far along are you, Claire?

Just a week,

I was explaining to Claire

how the group works,

Being able to lean on the
experience of other women

who are doing what you're doing

is invaluable,

To help you deal

with some of the feelings
that you might start to have,

and to have a place where
you can talk about them,

Is that, like, mandatory?

To talk about them?

The only thing mandatory here

is that you take
care of yourself,

And, as I'm due in
the procedure room,

I'll leave it to the ladies
to tell you all about that,

Bye,

It's not that I don't like
talking about my feelings,

You don't have to explain
yourself, Claire,

Please, have a seat,

Did dr, Deanston talk to you

about the diet?

The good news is

you get to eat just
about whatever you want,

so long as you tell the
clinic what you're eating,

And the bad news...

Six of these a day,

They have the tendency

of getting stuck in your throat,

They taste awful going down,

and coming back on you,

That's why it's better
if you crush them up

and stir them into a whole pint
of chocolate-Chip ice cream,

Is that allowed?

Well, you don't tell them
that you ate the whole pint,

You've got to keep some
things to yourself,

Okay,

You don't have to share
unless you want to, Claire,

It's just,,,I have my reasons
for doing this, you know?

If I wanted to be a
mom, I'd go be a mom,

It's okay that you're
doing it for the money,

We're all doing
it for the money,

I mean, this is a job,

The fact is

is that feelings and emotions
do come with the territory,

The funny thing is

is that Harder you fight
them, the stronger they feel,

How bad are they?

I don't think you
can really measure it

in terms of "bad,"

Bearing a child is
a very human thing,

It's okay to be human about
it, you know?

Oh, Claire,
can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah,

What did you think of the group?

Some Pretty neat
ladies, don't you think?

Yeah, they're okay,

I think you'll find they're
much more than that,

In time, of course,

One of the things we
do differently here

is we keep a
distance between you

and the couple that
you're surrogating for

until you're emotionally
prepared to meet them,

but since you don't
have any family,

it might be comforting
to talk to the ellachs,

Isn't that what
the group is for?

Yes, but what I mean

is the ellachs have
more invested in you,

Their phone number,

Use it only when
you're ready to,

Okay,

See you,

Take care,

Oh!

Out of the way, out of the way,

Out of the way, Please,

Claire,
I need you to describe the pain,

I need to know exactly
what you're feeling,

It's sharp, It's so sharp,

It feels like something's
sticking in to me,

Is it coming in waves,

or is it more gradual?

The fetus has detached
from the placenta,

Oh no,,,

is it going to die?

Is it going to die?

It's moving, trying to get out,

Am I in labor?

We'll have to induce,

I need 10 units of
oxytocin, stat!

Help me,

Help! Help me!

Hold Still,

Help me!

I need you to hold still,

Claire linkwood,

12:15 a, M,

She's at her window,

I'd say her
nightmares have begun,

The baby, I could feel
it moving inside of me,

and then you said,
"It's trying to get out,"

and the really weird
thing is you were right,

except it wasn't going
in the right direction

to get out,

It was going the other way,,,

and then I woke up,

I'd say that qualifies
as a nightmare,

I spent the rest of the
night checking myself

to make sure I wasn't
bleeding still,

If it's any consolation,

I've had some PRETTY
awful dreams too,

So has Fern,

It's quite normal
for pregnant women

to experience vivid
dreams of that nature,

especially when you
consider all the changes

that your bodies
are going through,

This was more than just vivid,

I could feel it,

Have your bad
dreams felt so real?

Oh Yeah,,,

Yeah,

Have you started
taking the vitamins?

Actually, no, I haven't,

Take them,

One before bedtime helps a lot,

I'll do it,

This has really affected
you, hasn't it?

I don't know if it
was the dream or what,

but when I woke up this morning,

just the thought
of losing this,,,

it really upset me,

Welcome to the club,

Hello?

Hi, Is this Donna ellach?

Yes, it is,

Who's calling?

It's Claire linkwood,

Would it be all
right if I came over?

Of course it would, Claire,

I'm so glad you called,

I just thought that maybe
I should introduce myself,

you know?

I'm so glad you called,

I just thought that maybe
I should introduce myself,

you know?

Let me give you the address,

The thing you have to understand

is I'm not doing this

because there's some
kind of mommy inside me

trying to get out,

If anything,
I never wanted to be a mommy at all,

I have a feeling

being pregnant will
change all of that,

That's what they
keep telling me,

Was there something
in your childhood

that made you feel that way?

Craig,,,

I'm asking a simple question,

I apologize, Claire,
Please, ignore him,

It's okay, I don't mind,

To put it mildly,
I hated my parents,

I ran away from home at 16,

and I haven't looked back,

Your folks haven't wanted

to talk to you?

As far as I'm concerned,
I have no parents,

no family,

We're not your family, Claire,
but we are here for you,

no matter what you need,

That's very nice of you, but,,,

I'm not just saying it,

I mean, considering
everything you're doing for us

and how you have a
little of our blood

mingling with Yours,,,

look, I'm not really
good at being mushy,

but I have a feeling

this thing is going to
make me a little mushier

than I'm used to,

so how about if we just see
where he or she takes us?

Yeah,

Yeah, well, that's good enough,

A little lower,

There, You feel it?

Oh, my god,

It moved,

And again,,,

little warmth on a cold night?

Sorry you can't join us, Claire,

You should feel
this, Is it okay?

It's his baby,

That's,,,wow,

I mean, really,

Wow!

He's a real little
soccer player,

Or she,

I'm sorry if I've
seemed remote at times,

It's a strange kind of
a relationship we have,

Dr, Deanston said Emotions
would Come into play,

He was right,

It's not that I think
of this baby as mine,

I don't,

Well,,,

maybe in some small way
I think of it as ours,,,

but I'm really
starting to feel glad

that I did this,

We're really glad you did
it, too,

I don't know about
the rest of you,

but I'm starving,

Did you try the recipe
for the vegetables?

I'm talking fast-Food burgers
with everything on them,

one in each hand,

See you next time,

See you,

You were kind of quiet today,

Something bothering you?

I'm fine,

Fern,
that wasn't very convincing,

I had the dream again, okay?

About the baby,

Except this time,
it was more like yours,

I could feel it inside
me, trying to get out,

Are you taking the
vitamins before bedtime?

Of course,

Well, then, Fern,,,
it's just a dream,

Did you tell Dr,
Deanston about it?

He said it was just a dream,

hello?

I had the dream again,

Fern?

It was worse,,,

much worse,

I'll be right there,

Did you talk to dr, Deanston?

Talk to dr, Deanston,,,

no, I can't,

I'm supposed to go
in there tomorrow

for some procedure,

and I don't want to,

Just the thought of
that man touching me,,,

dr, Deanston's not
going to hurt you,

He's a good man,

I don't want him to touch me,

Fern, where is this coming from?

I have been so sick
from the beginning,

and, after a while,
I thought it was those damn vitamins,

I stopped taking them,

Oh, Fern,,,

it doesn't matter,

This sickness,,,

if I eat, if I don't
eat, it's all the same,

Something's not right,

What if the babies
we're carrying

aren't normal?

What if dr, Deanston

has subjected us all

to some kind of
horrible experiment?

Fern, this is crazy,

They're watching us, you know,

Watching,

He wanted me to talk to him,
and so I did for a while,

and then I stopped,

and now I don't know what to do,

Fern, who are you talking about?

What's wrong?

It's like the dream,,,

sit down,

I'm calling Dr, Deanston,

No,,,

please,,,

shh,,,

I'm sorry, Fern,

I'm so sorry,

Rest now,

Try and Relax,

You'll be okay,

Is she going to be all right?

She's going to be fine,

She's lucky to have
a friend like you,

I'm lucky she has
a friend like you,

If you want,
I can stay and Look after her,

She needs her rest,
and so do you,

It would be best
if you went home,

We'll take care of her,

You did the right thing, Claire,

You really did,

I've been waiting for
you, Claire,

I'm not going to hurt you,

Special Agent Glenn
grant, I'm with the FBI,

Does that give you the right
to break into my apartment?

What the hell do you want?

Answers I'm hoping
you can give me

about dr, Deanston,

You're the one Fern
was talking about,

You were harassing her,

from the sound of it,

She was terrified,

She should be, but not of me,

I want you to look at these
files, Claire,

They're the tip of the iceberg,

I've got dozens more
just like them...

Surrogate patients of
Dr, Deanston's,

going back five years,

and all the babies

those women were
supposed to have had?

They're gone,

What?

As if they never existed,

I don't believe you,

I've seen plenty of babies
at the deanston clinic,

Surrogate babies?

I'm not talking

about Dr,
Deanston's regular practice,

That's a cover,

I'm talking about the
surrogacy program,

the women like
you, their babies,

Have you seen them?

No, but,,,

take it,

Wendy Newton, full term,

Details of birth not available,

birth certificate not available,

Death certificate not on record,

Denise chivas,

premature labor at seven months,

Details of birth not available,

birth certificate not available,
death certificate not on record,

Wait,

Are you telling me

that all of Dr,
Deanston's patients,

that their babies die?

No,

The man's running a
successful in-Vitro program,

a very high percentage
of live births,

until you look at
the surrogacy results

and discover, Claire...

Listen to me,

And discover there aren't any,

I don't get it,

Something terrible

is happening to these
babies, Claire,

I've approached some
of the birth mothers,

but they won't talk to me,

but Fern was ready to cooperate,

Then suddenly,
she changed her mind,

So you moved on to me,

Bad choice, agent grant,
I have nothing to say to you,

Claire,,,

when you stand in
front of a mirror

and you look at yourself,

you're scared,

I'm trying to make
you understand

just what you're scared of,

Are you watching me?

You're in danger, Claire,

Get out,

Let me help you, Claire,
for the sake of the baby,

Get out,

Don't be frightened
by the truth,

Yeah?

Claire? It's Emily,

I'm sorry to wake you,

Um, I don't know if you heard,

But Fern lost her baby
last night,

It was a good thing dr,
Deanston was already at my apartment,

I probably would
have bled to death,

He was so wonderful,

and you,
holding my hand the whole time

in the car,,,

I'm glad I could
be there for you,

but you rest now,
and I'll be back,

So glad you came to see
her, Claire,

It's the baxters
I feel sorry for,

They wanted this
baby so badly,,,

I feel like I let them down,

Sweetie, it's not your fault,

Fern,

some of the things
you said last night,,,

oh, I can't even imagine

the crazy things that
came out of my mouth,

Maybe they weren't so crazy,

Tell me about grant,
the fbi agent,

The man's a menace,
He's demented,

Did he track you down, too?

Yes, but,,,

Claire, I want to thank
you for helping me,

You saved my life last night,

You really did,

Fern,,,did you see the Baby?

See the,,,

I mean, there was a
baby, wasn't there?

Yes, and it died,

Why would you ask such a thing?

Was it born alive,
or was it stillborn?

I'm so sorry, Fern,
but I have to know,

Claire?

A word with you, please?

Fern's baby was stillborn,

How many others have died?

I've seen the files,

Oh, you've been talking
to agent grant of the FBI,

or should I say
formerly of the FBI?

What do you mean?

Oh, he didn't mention that?

I'm not surprised,

He was put on
administrative leave

six months ago,

He had been harassing
my patients,

I had no idea this
harassment had begun again,

Why would he do that?

Somehow he's got it in his head

that all our surrogate babies
are vanishing into thin air,

But they're not?

Of course not,

I can only surmise

that a couple of our
surrogate mothers

with Severe depression

spoke with Agent grant,

and he's spun it

into some kind of bizarre
conspiracy theory,

I'll make sure he
doesn't bother you again,

I'm so glad you called, Ben,

I was thinking of calling you,

I should have come
to see you sooner,

or at least called,

I'm not your responsibility,

I could argue that with
you, but I won't,

So this grant guy,

do you believe what he told you?

He's very convincing,
but so is Dr, Deanston,

Yeah, what kind of doctor is he?

What do you mean?

Well, you go to your
surrogacy support group

once a week,

but what kind of monitoring

is he doing on you?

Like, what kind of tests?

He's not doing any tests,

And you don't find that odd?

I don't know,

I,,,I don't know
what to believe,

who to believe,

I know this guy, Dr, Chan,

He went to high school
with my brother,

He's an obstetrician,

I could call him and
set up an appointment

and have him look at
you tomorrow morning,

I mean, at the very least,

it'll put your mind at rest,

Let's start with an ultrasound,

The first thing that's
a little unusual

is there's an awful
lot of fluid in there,

How far along did
you say you were?

Seven months,
Is something wrong?

I don't know about wrong,,,
unusual, most definitely,

A problem, Doctor?

Hold on, I want to hear
the baby's heartbeat,

what's wrong with
the Baby's heart?

It's hard to say,

Some babies are born

with an extra chamber
in their heart,

but that's not what
it would sound like,

Sometimes with twins,
you get three beats

because one of the
beats is in concert,

but I don't see two babies here,

and what I am seeing,,,

the yolk sac should
have been gone

weeks ago,

but there it is,
if that's what it is,

How serious is this?

Look, I know I'm
sounding pretty alarmist,

but from what you've told me,

they haven't run a whole
lot of tests on you,

and, frankly,
based on what I'm seeing here,

I think an amnio is essential,

I'd like to do one,
if you'll let me,

Okay,

Rose, could you join us?

Is this going to hurt?

You'll feel a pinch
as the needle goes in,

You're going to be okay,

If the baby keeps still,

this won't take
more than a minute,

Almost there,,,

almost there,,,

he's moving,

I can feel it,

Don't let her move,

Oh, my god,

Agent grant!

Oh, my god,

What's he doing here?

What's going on, Ben?

Claire, I don't know dr, Chan,

Agent grant came to me,

He said you needed to
see another doctor,

You son of a bitch,

I'm sorry about the deception,

but I had to get you
to a real doctor,

I'm getting out of here,

How much more proof do you need?

Deanston's done something
terrible to you,

to your baby,

Get your hands off me,

Where are you going?

Let us take you to a
hospital, please,

Leave me alone,

Claire,,,

Claire, it's Ben,

Claire, are you in there?

Come on, Claire,

I just want to make
sure you're okay,

Look, I'm sorry,
Claire, I really am,

I screwed up,

Please, just say something
so I know you're all right,

You lied to me,

I swear I didn't know

it was going to
go down like that,

I was trying to help,

By betraying me?

Look, grant came to me and
told me you were in trouble,

He said they were
doing something to you,

Why didn't you just tell me?

He said you weren't
thinking straight,

Claire, you've got to go back to
dr, Chan,

Agent grant said
that if you don't,

something could happen,

You don't get it, do you?

I may not know who to trust,

but it's definitely
not that guy,

He lied to me, Deanston didn't,

Don't be stupid,

Whatever went wrong is
not agent grant's fault,

So now I'm stupid?

No, Claire,

you know that's not what I mean,

You're in over your
head, You need help,

You never thought I could do
this, did you?

You've just been waiting
for me to screw it up

so you could save me,

Don't do this,

I hate to disappoint you,

but I don't need your help,

and I certainly don't
need agent Grant's,

You can go now,

Go,

Okay,,,

but, Claire,
just,,,take care of yourself,

hi, this is Claire,
I'm not here,

Leave a message,

Claire, it's Donna,

Please, pick up,

We're worried about you,
honey, Are you there?

Are you okay?

Please, pick up,

But this doctor you went to,

he said something
about the yolk sac?

Oh, never mind the yolk sac,

What about all this green stuff
flying all over the place?

Can you possibly be
any more insensitive?

She knows what happened,

I knew there was something
about that deanston

I didn't like,

I'm so tired,

So tired,,,

we're going to take care of
you, Claire,

okay?

I just want to sleep,

I am so sorry about the baby,

You have nothing
to be sorry about,

and besides,

we're not giving
up on this baby,

not by a long shot,

Now, you get some rest, Okay?

Thank you so much
for everything,

We're going to see you through
this, Claire,

I promise,

Claire?

Something's come loose,

Come loose?

It's sharp!

It's so sharp!

What do we do?

Help me,,,

Let's get her into the car,

And go where?

A hospital, any hospital,

Get the car keys, dammit,

Let's go!

Hang on, Claire,

We're almost there,

What are we doing here?

We're supposed to
be at a hospital,

This is where you belong,

Hello, Claire,

Help me,,,

no,,,

we'll take it from here,

I need to know how you're
feeling, Claire,

Can you describe the pain to me?

You're a monster,

A monster!

I'm sorry you feel that way,

but I still need to know,

It's sharp,
like something's sticking into me,

That's a bad sign, Let's go,

What are you doing?

I won't let you kill my baby,

Claire,,,we don't
kill babies here,

That's agent grant's paranoia,

Get away!

Don't do this, Claire,

Ow, Ow!

Claire,
this isn't going to help,

Claire, if you fight us,
the baby will die for sure,

Is that what you really want?

No,

Time is of the essence,

We need every second,

Give me the scalpel,

Come on, Please,

Agent Grant?

This is Emily bushmill,

You asked me to let you know
if I saw anything strange,,,

um, Claire was just
brought into the clinic,

She's having her baby now,
and something is very wrong,

What's that?

This will help,

Help me how?

I can feel it
moving inside of me,

It's trying to get out,

There, there,,,

it's got a voice,
like it's talking,,,

it's hungry,

Yes, it is,

I'm its food,

Is that what's happening to me?

Something like that,

What's happening to me?

What's happening to me?

You can't come back here,

Excuse me!

I'm looking for Claire
linkwood, Where is she?

She needed medical treatment,

If you care to wait back here

in the reception area...

I can't say I'm happy
to see you again,

You tell me where Claire
is or I'll find her myself,

Down the hall,
but you're a little late,

Agent grant,

What happened, Claire?

What happened to your baby?

Nothing happened to my baby,,,

just like nothing
happened to Fern's baby,

In fact,

they weren't babies at all,

What's that supposed to mean?

We're not like you, agent grant,

We don't bear live young,

We gestate inside
other creatures,

and then, when the time
comes, we start to feed,

We eat everything but the shell,

It comes in so handy,

Listen to me,,,

both of you,

Whatever they've done to you,

I can help,

Oh, are you still worried
about what they did to us?

You should be worried

about what we're
going to do to you,

I think you'll find this

to be an incredibly supportive
environment, Debbie,

That's why we have the
surrogacy support group,

Good evening, ladies,

I want you all to meet Debbie,

Debbie will be joining
your group from tonight on,

This is Rebecca,
She's one of our nurses,

She runs the group,

The birth of a new life can
be awesome and miraculous,

unless it is at the expense
of the human race Itself,,,

hi there,
