This is unit 25
In pursuit of tan pickup, refuses to stop
WOMAN 25, copy
Forgive them, Father, for what they've done
My God
That makes 19 of them, sir
19 containers
19 fetuses
Is this the last one?
Yeah
Hey, there's a guy from Washington, DC
in the evidence tent
Sorry Who did you say you work for?
I didn't
What the hell's going on here?
Do you have a badge?
I'm Detective McNeil
I'm in charge of this case
Sorry
But you came up on him too quick
Good morning
I'm Dr Jacob Hood
Special science advisor to the FBI
And that's Special Agent Rachel Young
Science advisor?
Yeah, I was appointed to investigate
crimes and crises of a scientific nature
What you found here certainly falls
under that category, wouldn't you say?
You
Out
You mean the 19 dead babies
and 19 graves that didn't dig themselves
That's not accurate; what you've got here
is 19 terminated fetuses
You drink milk from a carton?
Why?
The barcode on the carton
is the same principle as a DNA profile
DNA is a personal barcode
Each one is different, therefore unique
Now, this is the profile
of the 12-week-old fetus
that was thrown from the truck last night
And this is a profile
of the first one you dug up
Spot the difference I dare you
I can't
Of course you can't
Because they're identical
All 19 of them
Do you know anything about cloning?
Remember Dolly the sheep?
Yeah
Well, this abomination
is what happens when you try it with human beings
What's he need you for?
Dr Hood is a high-priority asset
He's a brilliant biophysicist,
but he spends most of his time in his head,
so I have to watch his back
About a year ago,
some radical group had his car bombed
You want to see him blush,
ask him where the shrapnel is
You see,
he's got this annoying habit of telling the truth,
and the truth hurts a lot of people's pockets
And no, I'm not free for dinner
It's in the eyes, Detective McNeil
David?
Has anyone seen my son?
David?
The judge told you to leave us alone
It's a free country, Kelly
I can move to any city I want to,
just like you did
Kid's got a right to see his dad, you know?
Not after what you did to me
Let go of my son
Wait for Mommy over there, okay?
Well
I notice you've been keeping busy
I'm taking care of us,
which is more than you ever did
Don't say that,
and then walk away from me
Hey, you leave her alone
Should I call the police?
This guy you arrested
is not a microbiologist, by any chance, is he?
He's an unemployed security guard
No priors
He said that someone was paying him
to incinerate the containers; then once he found out
what was in them, he couldn't bring himself to do it
How come you don't know
who's behind all this cloning stuff?
You seem to know everything else
There's someone we've been chasing
for a long time, and his first attempts
at human cloning were in Eastern Europe,
then South America
Both failed
Now I believe he's come here
The question is, why?
So, what's next?
Can you recommend a good hotel?
Kelly?
It's Mrs Muller
I've come to get you
Kelly, can I come in?
I trusted you people
That's why I'm here
Your own personal nurse
Let me help you
Please
Hi
So, I'm gonna charge Sanders
with accessory to murder
That will get him talking
A judge will ask why
Technically, a fetus is medical waste
It's not murder
What, so I've got nothing?
Breathe, McNeil
You got a crime here, a big crime
I wouldn't be here if you didn't
Implanting a woman
with an embryo created by any means
other than fertilization is illegal
Yeah, but it's not murder,
which means I've wasted too much time already
Tell me you didn't just say wasted
Anything that helps us, Detective,
call me
He's just doing his job
19 fetuses
You know what that means?
19 mothers
How do you keep them all quiet?
Is the baby okay?
Please tell me
Kelly, in a minute
I just keep thinking
about that childless couple,
and it would break their hearts if I lost this baby
That's a nice thought, Kelly
Keep that thought
What is it?
What's wrong?
It's the placenta
It's lying a little low
and blocking the entrance to the womb
Is that bad? You just relax
Nature has a way of making things right
If something did go wrong,
I would still get
the money, wouldn't I?
That childless couple you're so concerned about
are not a charity, Kelly
I need that money, Doctor
I need to get away from here
From people
We should send her home
She's got grade three previa
She's also got the most viable fetus we've ever seen
More reason to have her in a hospital
under constant supervision
For a doctor, you can be amazingly stupid
She should be delivered
It's too early
Besides, the baby might not survive
At least the girl would
She's a time bomb
You want to risk that?
With great risks come great rewards
I don't want another dead mother
on my conscience
If she goes into labor, she will die
Hello, Will
Do I know you?
We need to have a talk
Cops never charged me
Who the hell are you?
By nature, a deeply sensitive person
But she's not
Get lost
Sugar rush
Wait Wait You can't do this to me
It's time to clear your conscience, Will
I know you're a man of faith,
and we both know, at the heart of faith
lies the truth
Jesus knows my heart, and he forgives me
Does he?
Okay, let's ask him
Look at him, Will
Look at the nails in his hands,
in his feet, the wound in his side
You telling me you'd let that suffering continue?
Answer me Please let me go
Ask his forgiveness, and he will forgive you
if you truly repent
Now, tell the truth
Who paid you to get rid of the containers?
Can you please stop this? He knows
the secrets of your heart, Will
Cleanse yourself, Will
Tell him
It was a woman I didn't know her name
You lie to me, you're lying to him
I burned the first one 'cause she said it was medical waste
It was easy money I didn't think
Easy money means restless nights
You must have a name
I don't know her name Liar
I looked inside the second one and I wished I hadn't
But it was too late
My soul was dark
God must forgive me, though
Yoknow what I think, Will?
I think you're a waste of God's time
Let's go
Geppetto
She talked to somebody on the phone called Geppetto
There's where they treated the girls
I worked here as a night guard till they shut the place down
You don't see divine intervention at hand, man?
The woman asked me to drive the girls here
Then she gives me something, says I should burn it
I look anyway
I praise God for choosing me to give them a decent burial
It's a shame he didn't choose you to tell the cops instead
How did they keep this quiet?
Cash
Lots of cash
A traveling clinic
Is this where the woman treated the girls?
Her and a man
Sharp guy- a doctor
Geppetto? No, that's who they call
after they were finished with the girl
Well, this is stage two
This is where they implanted the embryos, but this isn't
where the actual cloning would take place
That would require a real lab
Liquid nitrogen
Westec Veterinary Services-
for the transporting
of bovine semen
They're hardly going to label it
"Frozen clone embryos: handle with love "
This was just a cover
You got your panic button? I think so
Freeze FBI
Hey
Hood
What was that?
What?
That, with the arms?
I got the license plate
Why do I bother?
I guess they won't be coming back here for a while
Ow
This place was set up just to
monitor the pregnancies and terminate the failures
Any obstetrician, along with a half decent nurse,
could do that, but stage three, the birth-
that's when you need the scientist
Geppetto
What?
Wood, where are we going now?
To see a vet
What if I told you
that someone not far from here is close
to cloning a human being?
Is that supposed to shock me?
What was your title again?
Dr Hood is fine
Well, Dr Hood, some people think it's already been done
Not by you, right?
We found this
in a makeshift delivery room
And so you presumed we're cloning people?
I'm flattered
We're the largest biological distribution company
on the West Coast
We ship hundreds of samples from around the world
every day
And you're asking me to trace a label?
That was a waste of time
In science, a negative result
is just as important as a positive one
"And when the king returned to his castle,
"he found that his trusted servant had made him
a beautiful "
"a beautiful coat filled with all kinds of "
Oh
Oh, David, honey
Oh, give Mommy a second while while this pain goes away
Okay?
Yes
Dr Hayward?
Kelly
Can I meet you at the warehouse?
No
Y- Y-You can't do that Oh
Then I have to go to the hospital
No, uh, Kelly, um,
if you go to the hospital, Social Services
will take David away from you Do you want that?
But I'm bleeding really badly
No hospitals
Understand?
Can I buy you a drink?
Before you disturb me,
you should know I'm filling out this paperwork
because I shot at a man today
Why?
Because he disturbed me
Okay
Thanks
Why does the name Geppetto sound so familiar?
You mean apart from being Pinocchio's dad?
Right
You know, I never understood that story
An old wood-carver wants a son so badly
that he makes one of his own?
Get a wife, why don't you?
Weird
Rachel Hmm?
You are brilliant
I know
Why?
Why am I brilliant?
I kept asking myself,
"Why choose to do the embryo implanting
here?"
But he didn't choose, you see
That decision was made for him, for Geppetto
He who pays the piper calls the tune
Somebody right here in Seattle
wants their son back from the dead
Excuse me
Local publications, 2005, please
Why 2005?
The first fetus was found 18 months ago
Whatever we're looking for
must have happened before then
Give Mommy her phone, please
I'm calling 911
Look for families who have lost a son
What makes you think we'll find it here?
Whoever fronts Geppetto has got to be wealthy
Cloning is a very expensive business
The poor die in silence, the rich die public
That's the way it's always been, so keep looking
For what?
The small ads under "Human Cloning"?
What's your name?
Can you hear me? Laura
Laura's my name Laura, how long have you been bleeding?
Not long Mom
David
Mom David
Just relax Social Service is taking care of him
No
Mom
I think I've found him
A needle in a haystack
How many needles try to commit suicide three times
after they've lost a loved one?
Why can't we go visit this man,
Mr Gifford? Because it's late
Keep your panic button handy, please,
and use your cover name if If I want
to order in myroom
Good night Good night
What is your cover name?
Mr Smith
Jones Mr Jones
I'll be right down
What do you got?
The car that tried to run over your guy
was rented by a Dr Sidney Hayward,
an obstetrician
Can you trace him? Already did; he's gone
What do you mean "gone"? Struck off the medical registrar
two years ago
Drink? No
His house was put into foreclosure
and the IRS froze his bank accounts
Ah I owe you one, okay?
So how long you been with the doctor?
Uh, it was supposed to be two months and
You know, I looked you up
FBI Executive
Protection Detail
That's, uh, pretty cool
Sure you don't want a nightcap?
I said I owe you one
I never said I'd give you one
Sidney Hayward- erratic driver
and baby doctor
What did he do, run off with a patient?
Does it matter?
Give me a doctor with a steady hand
over one with a steady home anytime
But you don't think
he's our Geppetto, do you?
No
To clone anything requires skill
and knowledge way beyond this guy's capabilities
Well, how do you know he doesn't have
those capabilities?
Because
to clone anything
takes science
stroked gently
with artistic hands
You got a pair of tweezers?
Yeah
Not to keep
Now, imagine this is a woman's egg
Well, the seed
inside it is her nucleus
that contains her unique DNA
Now, if you want to make a clone,
the first thing you do is get rid of the nucleus
Believe it or not, I use those
Then, you replace it
with the nucleus of any cell
of the person you want to clone
Original egg, new DNA
in the nucleus
So, next, you shock it
with a little jolt of electricity
Don't say Frankenstein
The electricity fools the egg
into thinking it's been fertilized
Within a week,
it's making stem cells,
which then grow into the person of your choice
You place these inside the womb
of your carrier
Next, you hire
a disgraced and penniless gynecologist,
like Hayward, to bring in the harvest
Cannibal
McNEIL: We've been monitoring city hospital maternity wards
for any suspicious activity
We got a call on the radio about a girl who was admitted
to intensive care with her four-year-old son
Hospital child care was looking after the boy
when she just goes in and grabbed him
and then just vanished
Apparently, she's in bad shape
And pregnant, right?
Right
The bleeding's not her biggest problem
Her placenta is covering the exit of her womb
Placenta previa
If this girl's contractions start
with this condition,
she could die
Can we go home, Mommy?
Not just yet, sweetie
We're wasting precious time
We should go and see this man
Let the cops find the girl first
See if she leads us back to Gifford
Right now you need to get some rest
We'll go first thing in the morning
But this is the only lead we've got
He's a name in a newspaper, not a lead
You don't know if this girl's involved with Geppetto,
and you want to go bang on some billionaire's door in the middle
of the night with no real justification?
Don't push me, Hood
I won't let you wear me down
like you did the others before me
I have never failed at any assignment,
and I don't intend to start now
Settled
If you need me,
I'll be right down the hall
WOMAN It can literally turn back the clock on aging skin
Its special deep-penetration formula

Do you suffer from male-patterned baldness?
Not anymore

More lies
You got a nice, uh, 18-year-old
single malt?
Okay
No ice
Hood? Hood?
Oh, crap
I must have sat on it
Drink?
We shouldn't be doing this
It's a blind risk factor for you
Based on what, a hunch?
Once upon a time, gravity was just a hunch
Mr Gifford, I'm Dr Jacob Hood
This is Rachel Young
What can I do for you?
We're here about your late son, Gabriel
Meningitis
is a terrible disease
Maybe it wouldn't be if they did some more research
Is Mrs Gifford at home?
Losing a child has repercussions
My wife left
Would you say life is precious?
Where did that come from?
It's just a question Can you answer?
Hood
See, there's a pregnant girl out there, Kelly,
and she's going to lose her life
because she's too scared to get medical help,
so is life precious,
Mr Gifford?
I think you should leave now
I suppose you don't know who Dr Sidney Hayward is?
Do you?
Where is she?
Where's Kelly?
That girl is somebody's mother,
and if she dies,
she'll be missed
by her own son
Don't you dare try to teach me about grief
And if you don't leave, I'm calling the police
We'll save you the call
Guys like him can lie all day day long
and never get tired of it
Let's try this
You stole his telephone?
It was just lying there
Now this'll work as long
as we stay 100 feet from the phone base
There was a brochure
for Westec Veterinarian services on the table,
and in about 30 seconds, he's gonna make a panic call
Why are you calling us?
Someone named Jacob Hood
just left my house
He knows
I'm telling Geppetto to cut this girl loose
You can't do that
Why not?
Because she'll die
And her baby has the best chance of a live birth yet
Now, calm down while we go
check on the girl
Kelly?
Kelly, it's me
I brought Dr Hayward for you
The contractions have started
He'll take care of you
No I want a hospital now
McNEIL: Kelly Frost, 20 years old
She has a criminal record? Yeah, assault
Her ex used to treat her like a punching bag
When she got sick of it, she fought back
And what do you know
He pressed charges
We've got a problem
A big problem
Girl needs an emergency C-section
Oh, my God
Wait Geppetto wants to be present at the birth
I've made that call already
If we don't do this right now, they're both going to die
Whatever it takes
There's a clinic on Bainbridge Island
It's been closed only a few months,
but it's still fully equipped
I can use it, but we're gonna need cash up front
Consider it done
And Gifford,
you know we're only talking viable here
Nobody's promising perfect
Who are you?
You must have the wrong apartment
Where's Kelly?
I don't know any Kelly
All right
Kelly? Kelly?
David, can you tell Daddy where Mommy went?
The man took her
What man?
Do you know?
Uh-uh?
All right, can somebody please tell me
what the hell's going on here?
Can you talk?
Who are you?
you
Right
Abusive ex-boyfriend
Who did this?
Some woman did this
Can you get me an ambulance?
Please? Where's Kelly?
I don't know Agh
Okay, okay
Just pull this out of my neck
It's not a good idea
That's your external jugular vein
Scissors are actually slowing the blood flow
Pull those out, you'll be dead in minutes
Best if you stay calm
Where's my mommy?
It's okay
I need you to help me save a life
But it could mean your job
Would I be doing this in the name of science
or the law?
How about in the name of good?
Geppetto will be here soon
Hayward?
We could save ourselves
Give them Geppetto
I agree
Make the call
Mr Gifford?
You know what today is, Mr Gifford?
Yes
It's my son's new birthday
No
Today is the first day
of you accepting Gabriel is dead
Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this?
How many false hopes?
You won't stop this
In an hour,
I'm gonna have my reborn son in my hands again
You can't believe that
You ever lost a child?
How could you possibly know
what I'm going through?
Two years ago my wife died
I nursed her till her last breath
Every day, I'd look for some
little sign
Helped me to believe she might get better
There isn't a day
that passes when I don't wish she was back
It's not the same
One of you dies first That's sad
But that's the deal
When my son died,
my life was over
It's called grief
It's natural
I want him back
What you're doing is only making your pain intolerable
What could be worse than my son dying?
Your son dying over and over again
That's not possible
You want to see Gabriel again?
Do you?
Behold
your son
Now, even if he'd survived the genetic mutation,
even if he'd been perfect in every sense,
this would never have been the boy you knew
This would have been some other
different child
Gabriel is not the product of his DNA
He's the sum of every day you spent with him
Every meal his mother cooked for him
Every story you read him
Every ball you threw for him to catch
I'm sorry you had to find out this way,
that Gabriel's soul
is so much more than just its constituent chemical parts
I don't know what's going to happen
to the baby the girl is carrying,
and she is that
She's just a girl
And she will die unless you help me
So where is Kelly?
What happened?
Somebody asked me to come in here and help
Do you know this girl?
Kelly Her name is Kelly
Do you know CPR?
Of course
Get the air bag
She's lost a lot of blood
Find a refrigerator, O negative
Do it
You a doctor?
I was
More oxygen
Squeeze until you see the chest inflate
What about the baby?
She lost him a long time ago
"Him"?
How'd you know that?
You're Geppetto
You'll have to take over now,
if you want to save her
So you just walk away?
Every scientific experiment requires sacrifice
She's not an experiment
She's a human being
You should care
Playing God has its disadvantages
Nice to finally meet you, Dr Hood
Come on, Kelly
Hood Rachel, I need your help
Cops are on their way
Oh, God
Come on, Kelly Come back for David
Come back for David, Kelly Come on
Hood
So thank you, again, for everything
You're gonna be okay
The doctor said I can't have kids anymore
All the more love for the one you have
You take care You, too
No sign of Geppetto
But, uh, Lea's in custody
and talking
Yes?
Hello?
Okay
Gotta go
There's a situation
What kind of situation?
A delicate one
