Hi. It's MarIa. I changed my mind.
I can't do this right now.

No. I can't meet you.

Mom, where are you?
[ Man ] Dream, send me a sign
Turn back the clock
Give me some time
l need to break out
Make a new name
Let's open our eyes
To the brand-new day
You don't trust me. It's such a controI thing.
Admit it. Admit it. You're reIuctant to Ieave me in charge.
- Rubbish. - Then why haven't you gone yet?
What? Why are you trying to get rid of me?
You haven't had a vacation in six years, CaI. Come on.
- You are trying to miss your fIight. - I'm not! I am not!
- I am trying to find the Anderson fiIe. - The Anderson fiIe.
I've got it. AII right? I can take care of it.
Come on. Stop staIIing.
Where are you going? HonestIy. CaI, the cab is outside waiting for you.
Grab your jacket. Let's go. You deserve this.
- EmiIy's waiting for you. Come on. - Don't push me. Don't push me.
- Come on. Let's go. - Stop touching me.
Here. [ ChuckIes ] Here. Oh, give me your ceII phone.
You don't need to check in whiIe you're gone. It's just gonna stress you out. Come on.
No kicking and screaming?
I have absoIute faith in you, and my staff.
Here I go then.
- Have a good time. - [ Door Opens ]
- [ Latin ] - [ Chattering ]
Are you reaIIy working?
We've onIy been here two days.
You reaIIy need to Iearn how to reIax, Dad.
PeopIe who can't reIax die younger. I Iearned that in heaIth cIass.
- Don't worry about me, Iove. AII right? - What are you Iooking at anyway?
- Nothing. - You're spying on the office?
Look, I'm my own boss. That's a 24-7 job.
Someday, when I'm a stressed-out workahoIic, I'II have you to thank.
When did you become such a know-it-aII?
We had an agreement that if I behaved matureIy you wouId treat me Iike an aduIt.
So, as an aduIt, I'm teIIing you to reIax...
- and stop it with the creepy snooping. - Hey!
If you don't, I'II just go pick up boys by the pooI.
- AII right, deaI. - Here you go, sir.
- Oh, I'II have one of those too, thanks. - Make it a virgin.
Yes, sir.
Dr. CaI Lightman?
My name's Lou Nemeroff. I'm with the American embassy.
There's an urgent matter that we need your heIp with.
[ Sighs ]
[ TV: Man Speaking Spanish ]
An American woman, Marla Seeger, disappeared two days ago from the Oceano Hotel.
It's just down the beach. She was Iast seen at the hoteI bar.
And this is some local news footage.
[ Speaking Spanish ]
This is the bartender who last saw her. He says that she was drunk...
coming on to severaI men, and that she eventuaIIy Ieft with one of them.
[ Spanish ]
The local police- they aren't doing anything.
They beIieve that she Ieft voIuntariIy.
She's a reaIIy good mom. I just want to find her.
Mom, if you're watching this, pIease come back.
And that's her 1 2-year-oId daughter.
Oh, my God. That's so sad.
What's the State Department doing about this?
Their official policy is to leave it in the hands of local authorities.
Oh, so nothing. They're doing nothing. Right.
Which makes me wonder why you're here.
Your boss doesn't know about this IittIe fieId trip of yours, does he?
- I can't ignore what's going on in Mexico. - Which is what?
More than 200 Americans have gone missing in the Iast few years-
mostIy coIIateraI damage from the drug carteIs.
But unless it's some pretty blonde teenager, nobody even wants to talk about it.
AII I need to know is if somebody on this video is trying to hide something.
Yeah, the detective in charge of the case, and, um, the bartender.
Dr. Lightman, can you heIp us find MarIa Seeger?
- Dad. - What?
- Come on. - [ Sighs ]
Some people at the hotel- they said that they saw your mom crying.
- Why was she sad? - I don't know.
Everyone's saying she was a bad mother, but she aIways took good care of me.
- Yeah, I bet she did. - You think you can find her?
Oh, absoIuteIy. He's definiteIy gonna find your mom.
I don't know. I don't know, Iove.
You ever think that grown-ups are fuII of crap?
[ ChuckIes ] Yeah. Lots of times.
UsuaIIy it's 'cause we've made a mistake...
done something wrong, but we don't want to taIk about it.
We don't want to admit it, which makes us hypocrites.
I think you've got a secret...
and you're too scared to taIk about it.
My mom aIways picks awfuI boyfriends, so I signed her up for an onIine dating service.
- Is this a guy you found for her? - He said he traveIed a Iot...
- and I toId him we were coming here. - And what'd he say?
- He said he'd meet me. - I wasn't aware of this.
J-Rod25. My mom was supposed to have dinner with him Iast night.
But what if he did something to my mom?
[ Siren Wails ln Distance ]
[ Gillian ] We rushed over here right away. Did we hear right?
Three patients have been affected by tainted bIood?
The first patient died this morning at Cottage HospitaI.
The second is in criticaI condition at Saint Mary's.
This is Gary Spar, the third patient to receive a bIood transfusion during surgery.
It shouId've been a routine operation, but he never woke up.
I need you two. SeaI off that O.R. Gather and test everything.
So three different patients at three different hospitaIs?
It's no Ionger a coincidence. We've shut down the D.C. CentraI BIood Bank.
Go heIp Pat ruIe out any other possibIe contaminants.
We're in a reaI quandary. We need to protect peopIe. But if there's no bIood avaiIabIe...
for trauma cases and other emergencies, patients may die anyway.
- Do you have any idea what's in the bIood? - In the worst case scenario...
it's a bioIogicaI or chemicaI agent.
The F.B. I. has been aIerted in case this is bioterrorism.
I know. I'm on my way to the hospitaI C.E.O. right now.
- What can we do to heIp? - The peopIe who have access to those bIood units...
aII cIaim no invoIvement or knowIedge.
I need to know who we can trust.
- ShouId we get Lightman back here? - I can take care of this.
- Oh, hey. - Hey. What do you have?
WeII, the tainted bIood units aII came from the overnight shift at the bIood banks.
There were two techs on duty. We're taking 'em down...
to the Lightman Group right now for questioning.
Dr. Cho, I haven't forgotten about you.
As soon as I have a minute, we'II taIk.
That IittIe boy has sickIe-ceII anemia.
If he doesn't have a bIood transfusion in the next 24 hours, he couId have a stroke.
- What about getting the bIood from an outside area? - There's a reaI shortage.
We're workin' on it, but it's gonna take time we don't have.
Oh, Jack. Thank God you're here. Do you know Dr. Foster?
GiIIian. What a IoveIy surprise.
What are you doing here?
The C.D. C. contacted the Rader Firm to help assist you...
since Dr. Lightman isn't here.
- Where is CaI? - He's on vacation.
And heII didn't freeze over? [ ChuckIes ]
WeII, uh- WeII, it's a shame he's gone.
- I was hoping he and I couId bury the hatchet. - Is there a probIem?
Lightman and I are friendIy rivaIs, so to speak.
It won't be a probIem, wiII it?
No. Not at aII.
[ Sighs ] Oh, hey, hey. The two techs from the bIood bank are here.
- Great. - So teII me, what's the deaI with Lightman and Rader?
What, they don't get aIong or something?
CaI despises him. Thinks aII he cares about is money and pubIicity.
WeII, for once, I'm with Lightman on this.
Something teIIs me not to trust that guy.
Hmm.
- Hey. - Hi.
- You're the detective in charge of the Seeger case, right? - Yes.
Uh, hey. I'm EmiIy Lightman.
This is Dr. CaI Lightman. He's a deception expert...
- and he works a Iot with the poIice in the United States. - In the United States, yeah.
- This is Mexico. Mm-hmm. - No, I knew that. I knew it.
- Mm-hmm. - Um- Now, I saw some news footage...
and I think that the bartender at MarIa Seeger's hoteI...
is giving faIse information about her disappearance.
Dr. Lightman, there is no case here.
We've spoken to severaI of the resort empIoyees.
They say she seemed unstabIe. More than IikeIy a drug user.
- Based on what? - We found severaI used needIes in her hoteI room.
She probabIy found a feIIow drug user, Ieft with him...
and she wiII be back when the drugs run out.
Okay. I stiII think you shouId have another go at the bartender though.
And I think that you and your daughter shouId have a very IoveIy time here.
Okay? [ Speaking Spanish ]
No. What about the guy that TyIer said her mom was gonna meet?
You spoke to TyIer?
- Yep. - Yeah.
[ Sighs ]
There are many people here that will not like the fact...
that you have shown interest in this matter.
Do you understand me? So I'm going to give you one piece of advice.
Stay out of this.
Hasta luego.
- Mojito, por favor. - And a margarita.
- [ ChuckIes ] - And a Coke.
Coke for the senorita.
- Enjoying your vacation, senor? - Yeah.
WeII, no, I was, untiI that woman turned up missing. What's her name again?
- Ah, MarIa Seeger. - That's it, yeah.
Hey, you're the guy on the TV, right? I mean, you saw her that night?
What do you think happened to her?
Ah, she was dancing with many different men.
She was looking for a good time. She left with one of them.
They were sleeping on the beach, or getting high.
[ Cal ] What'd he look like, the guy she left with?
[ Bartender ] Don't let this trouble get in your head, senor.
Everything is fine.
You're an awfuI Iiar, MigueI.
Now you're terrified. Why is that?
- You work for the poIice? - MigueI.
[ Spanish ]
I'm so sorry. We are cIosing this bar whiIe we restock.
- Is there a probIem? - No.
If you're here on vacation, pIease teII us whatever we can do...
to make your stay more enjoyabIe.
If, however, you're here conducting an investigation, you're not weIcome here.
Yeah, Torres, it's me. l need you down here.
- [ Ria On Phone ] What? In Mexico? Why? - A woman's gone missing.
[ Ria ] Well, when l-
l'll tell you about it when you get down here.
Just bring something pretty to wear, aII right? Okay.
- So, you're gonna find her? - For you, l will move heaven and earth.
Hey. Lightman just caIIed. He needs me to fIy down to ZuIia right now.
- What, he's on a case? - Yeah. A woman's missing. Gotta go.
[ Sighs ] He's on vacation.
Okay. Just give me one sec.
So how is it workin'for Cal? Been so long, l can't remember.
I work with CaI. I'm an equity partner, you know.
Good for you. That means CaI's been workin' on his controI issues.
- Jack. - I meant that as a compIiment.
SeriousIy. He was my mentor. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the man.
ObviousIy he doesn't feeI the same about me.
Cal says he taught you just enough to be dangerous.
He's the better scientist, no doubt.
But l'm not going to apologize for having ambition and a better business sense.
If we're gonna work together, I have some ground ruIes.
First, I'm the boss around here. Second, don't try using me to get back at CaI.
So Iong as you...
admit that there's just the tiniest moment happening right now.
WiII you admit that?
Hey, Romeo and Juliet. You want to get this show on the road?
People could be dying right now.
You can Ieave. Thank you for coming.
Agent ReynoIds, couId you escort him out and bring Ms. Bynes to a more private room?
Sure. WiII you come with me, pIease?
PeopIe hiding something never want to draw attention to themseIves.
- That was awesome. - The oId routine's a IittIe rusty, but she stiII works.
- I meant what I said about the ground ruIes. - And I meant what I said.
ShaII we go find out what Ms. Bynes is hiding?
- Nice work. - [ CIears Throat ]
It was a reguIar night at the bIood bank. Nothing unusuaI.
Your boss was about to fire you for being late too often.
You knew.
Was this retaIiation?
[ EIi ] She's breathing faster. Foster's getting somewhere.
You have no idea how good she is. Lightman doesn't know.
He has a hard time seeing the true potentiaI of his empIoyees.
[ Bynes ] l'm not angry at anyone.
What was that? A IittIe fIash of anger at the infaIIibIe CaI Lightman?
You run this entire Iab. But I'II bet...
Lightman's never showed you an ounce of appreciation.
So... you and Lightman- you had a faIIing out?
- What, over a case? - Water under the bridge now.
You know, I never knew my own worth untiI I got out from under Lightman's shadow.
Someday you'II do the same.
It's been hard for me. My husband Ieft us. I'm aIone with the kids.
Voice pitch is higher. What's that Iook there? Shame?
I just went through a divorce myseIf.
I can bareIy get out of bed.
Can't think straight. I can't do my job ri-
PeopIe are dying.
You feeI guiIty, but you're gonna feeI worse if you keep secrets...
and another person dies.
On my Iast shift I didn't run the fuII testing protocoI on the bIood.
So you have to test donated bIood for different diseases?
I Ieft earIy. My daughter needed me.
There are so many other safeguards, I didn't think-
- I just- - [ Door Opens ]
- I think we have our cuIprit. - No, we don't.
Someone eIse just died after a transfusion at EucIid Park.
And this patient banked his own bIood.
The CentraI BIood Bank isn't responsibIe.
[ Ria ] So you're setting me up on a bIind date with a potentiaI murderer?
[ CaI ] Yeah, why? That's not your type? I'II keep an eye on you. You'II be fine.
- What are the poIice doing? - Nothing.
- So we're doing this on our own? - Yeah.
You puIIed me off a big case back home. C.D.C. brought in the Rader Firm to work with us.
- Jack Rader? - Yeah, he's at the office working with Foster.
- Why? What's the probIem? - I'm not sure. I'm not sure. Get in.
[ Man ] Going to see the sights?
Yeah.
My daughter said she bumped into you. Who you with?
You, uh, with the hoteI?
PoIice?
Drug carteI?
Who's that guy?
He's with the poIice or a drug carteI.
[ CaI ] Don't go anywhere.
[ Latin Pop ]
Hi, MigueI.
How did you find me here?
I bribed a waitress at the hoteI.
Picked the wrong part of town to visit.
So you think I shouId caII the cops then?
Eh? Or you're scared of being seen with me by the police, are you?
[ Spanish ]
PoIice toId us to say the American Iady was Iooking for a good time.
- lt was her own fault. - Why?
[ Miguel ] Zulia depends on tourists.
Something bad happens, you all disappear, the town dies.
When the Iady from Miami disappeared, we were toId not to taIk to anyone about it.
What Iady from Miami?
Do you want me to caII the cops or-
She came here four months ago. She was found dead.
PoIice kept it out of the news.
We shouId get out of here. I'm gonna teII the cab we're ready to go.
Okay.
Hey, did you, uh...
reaIIy see MarIa Seeger at the bar?
I saw her with one man. I'm not sure if she Ieft with him or not.
[ Cal ] Was it this guy?
Yeah, that's him. I'm positive. Now go.
Cab's gone.
What?
The cab. It's gone.
Uh- Here, hoId that.
Um, I'II give $200...
to the person that gives us a ride back to our hoteI.
AII right. Where's your car?
[ Spanish ]
[ Ria ] We're lucky they didn't kill us and dump our bodies in a ditch.
[ CaI ] Eh, it wasn't Iuck. The driver was happy to make some honest money for a change.
- You read that? - Yeah.
Speaking of big and fIashy...
I need you to find out what Rader's up to.
- You want me to spy for you? - No, I don't want you to spy for me.
I just want you to poke about a bit. I'II do my own spying.
AII right. WeII, just my opinion, but I think it might be a IittIe overkiII.
Your opinion? I don't need your opinion. I didn't ask for it.
Just do it, aII right?
- [ EmiIy GiggIing ] - [ Indistinct ]
Wait here.
Hey. Hey, that's my daughterl
- Hey, she started- - That's my daughter!
- She started taIkin' to me. - You were havin' a conversation with my teenage daughter!
She started taIkin' to me!
What?
AII right. Okay. I'm Ieaving.
Dad, that was the guy that TyIer's been e-maiIing.
I know. You shouIdn't have been taIking to him, EmiIy. BIoody heII.
You never said I shouIdn't taIk to him.
What am I supposed to do? TeII you not to do every potentiaIIy Iife-threatening thing?
No. I figured if I kept him taIking-
This is the Iast thing I need. I've got a con man back in my office!
And I got you behaving Iike Nancy bIoody Drew!
I was just- I was just trying to heIp.
Where you going?
Don't.
- [ Chattering ] - [ Latin ]
Hi. I'm LoIa.
Jerry Conway.
- PIease. - Thank you.
- [ Sighs ] - You're a very confident woman, LoIa.
I mean that in the most fIattering way.
WeII, then coIor me fIattered.
[ ChuckIes ] So how Iong you been a masseuse?
Oh, just a coupIe of years.
- ReaIIy? - Yeah.
[ Ria ChuckIing ]
No, seriousIy, the Iast guy I dated was a compIete nut job.
- Oh, I've been there. - ReaIIy?
- Oh. - Okay. WeII...
you teII me about your Iast psycho, I'II teII you about mine.
Least interesting story does a body shot.
You're on.
I met this weird chick- MarIa- a coupIe nights ago.
Yes, the hospitaIs trade bIood with each other. But EucIid Park's not at fauIt.
I've been here 1 0 years. Yager's been here nine. We've never had a probIem.
We're not the source of the tainted bIood.
How can you be sure?
I mean, I can't imagine how.
There's been no change in procedure.
[ GiIIian ] There's been no change in procedure?
[ Beeps ]
Lightman?
[ Beeps ]
Okay. AII right.
[ Chattering ]
Dr. Foster, here's the bIue fiIe that you needed.
- Sorry for the deIay. - The bIue fiIe?
- Yep. Mm-hmm. - Thank you.
- Do you know what this is, Mr. Dunst? - [ Door Closes ]
This is a fiIe aII about you.
Background check, interviews with coworkers, famiIy, friends.
My team compiIed it. You know, we can scour this to discover what you're hiding.
But why don't you save us the time?
T-Tomkins, the new driver in the Iab, is a feIon.
He toId Yager he Ieft the conviction off his job appIication.
And I shouId have reported it, but maybe you shouId taIk to him.
[ Jerry Mutters ]
- HoIa. - Hey.
AII right. He's married.
Goes onIine to meet women whiIe he's on business trips.
He's a schmuck, but he had nothing to do with MarIa's disappearance.
- You sure? - Positive. They met. She Ieft after, Iike, a minute.
Uh, he says that she was crying and taIking to some coupIe in the Iobby.
- He seems truthfuI. - Huh.
I can't beIieve you toId him I Iike roIe-pIaying and dirty Iimericks. You-
Don't knock it tiII you've tried it.
Hang on.
Are you foIIowing me?
You have a IoveIy friend, and daughter.
Is that a threat? 'Cause you reaIIy shouIdn't be confusing on that.
Not at aII, Dr. Lightman.
Hey. You sent someone to foIIow me, and they threatened my daughter.
I didn't hire him. Some peopIe here do.
Yeah, weII, so do the drug carteIs.
I warned you not to get invoIved.
AII right. Four months ago, another woman went missing, just Iike MarIa Seeger...
onIy this one turned up dead.
Okay, Iisten. I insist that you stop interfering, okay?
AII right, the night MarIa Seeger disappeared, she met a man named Jerry Conway.
Then she met a coupIe outside the bar. Did you know that?
There is no case here.
Now if you'II excuse me, I have a young woman who kiIIed her own mother, okay?
- [ Knocking ] - [ Spanish ]
I think you shouId taIk to this boy.
He's using his anger to hide something. She's protecting him.
So, just taIk to the boy. AII right?
[ Spanish ]
How many of your peopIe have been invoIved in this cover-up?
- There is no cover-up. - Yeah, there is.
You may not be a part of it, but you know one exists, don't you?
[ Sighs ] Okay. Okay.
The coupIe that met MarIa Seeger said that she seemed unstabIe.
- You taIked to 'em? - Yes.
- WeII, who are they? - Dan and Stacy FeIder.
- But it's a dead end. - You know, there is a case here.
ActuaIIy, there's two. But you aIready knew that, didn't you?
[ Rader ] You're Iucky you survived this accident.
Why did you faiI to mention your criminaI history on your appIication?
l was 1 9 when l stole that car.
I-If I say I'm a feIon, who's gonna hire me?
They shouId have done a background check.
You've been in heaIth care for a whiIe.
- Do you enjoy it? - It's very rewarding.
l missed my calling. l should've been a paramedic.
I mean, the action, the gIory. I mean, this.
That's reaI Iife-and-death stuff.
- [ Gillian ] lt's not too late. - [ Chuckles ] Yeah, l'm too old.
l don't know how we get to where we're goin;
I mean, are we even aware of our choices?
- What, are they just chatting? - We're just getting a baseIine right now.
You know, Iet me ask you something.
Was your ''aha'' moment when you stoIe that car?
I-I don't understand the question.
You stole that car and got into an accident with a 23-year-old kid.
The police found you cradling his mangled body.
I mean, did you get into heaIth care because you reaIized...
you couId be around bIood and guts and death aII the time?
That you wouIdn't have to cause an accident to get sexuaIIy stimuIated?
Uh-oh. Sicko alert.
[ Computer Beeps ]
PupiIs diIated. He's aroused.
- From taIking about bIood and guts. - How did they suss that out?
What did you put in the bIood at EucIid Park HospitaI?
Nothing.
You want peopIe to suffer and die at your hand.
I swear I had nothing to do with the tainted bIood. I never did anything at EucIid Park.
Speech pattern's back to baseIine. He's probabIy teIIing the truth.
So we're back to square one. Again.
- Why are you being so hard on yourseIf? - PeopIe are dying.
And I can't stop thinking about that IittIe boy with sickIe-ceII...
- and I have nothing for the C.D.C. - GiIIian.
If CaI were here, he wouId have soIved this by now. I shouId've just made him come back.
- Hey. We can do this. Okay? - [ Woman ] Excuse me. You can't go in there.
- Jack. - McKenzie.
- How did you get in here? - l'm the reporter...
who taIked her way into Attica once, remember?
Look, scheduIed surgeries are being canceIed aII over D.C. with no expIanation.
Something's going on at the C.D.C.
And when a little bird told me...
you were partnering with the Lightman Group, my reporter antenna went off.
[ Chuckling ] McKenzie, darling, you have uncanny timing.
- Let me fiII you in. - Can we do it on camera?
[ Door Closes ]
Oh, yeah. Thank you very much. I'II teII him right away. Thanks.
- Yeah? - So, a woman named Ramona Posner...
came here alone from Miami about four months ago.
Ten days after she disappeared, she was found dead in an aIIey downtown.
State Department and local police ruled it an accident.
- WeII, a cynic might caII it a pattern. - Yeah.
Oh, by the way, Rader seems to be making quite an impression at the office.
- Has he now? - Mm-hmm.
- According to Loker, Foster seems a bit gaga over him. - LoveIy.
- Oh, my God. - What?
- Is that jeaIousy? - No.
- Mm-hmm. - [ Door Opens, Closes ]
- Where you going? - [ Sighs ]
I Ieft my hat out by the pooI. Don't worry. I won't do anything chiIdish.
[ Door Slams Shut ]
Why don't you take your extraordinary powers of observation...
down to the pooI and use 'em to keep an eye on EmiIy?
JeaIous.
MarIa came up to us in the Iobby.
She said, ''I hope you experience the great joy I have.'' And then she Ieft.
- It was bizarre. - I mean, you work with the poIice, right?
I mean, didn't they teII you this aIready?
Yeah, but I wanted to hear this from you two.
Mrs. FeIder, do you have any idea why she wouId approach you Iike that?
No.
Not true.
- We're gonna be Iate for the airport. - Yeah.
- No! I'II hoId that. - I'II get it. No, I'II get it. I'II get it.
You know, you're never gonna get that through Customs.
- Why not? - 'Cause I'm gonna caII them.
I'm gonna teII them you've got a suspicious package.
That's the kind of pain in the ass I can be if I don't get the truth.
Look, it was just a hunch.
There's a fertiIity treatment center here that matches egg donors with coupIes.
We're from Canada, and it's iIIegaI to purchase eggs there.
The donors stay anonymous, but they can choose who they want to donate to.
These are our frozen embryos.
So you thought that MarIa Seeger was your egg donor.
Yeah, for a moment. But then we realized that it couldn't be her.
She was nothing Iike the person the broker described to us.
[ Mrs. Felder ] Mm-hmm.
[ Door Opens ]
[ Video Game Sounds ]
- Hi. - Did you find my mom?
No, Iove.
Not yet.
Oh, that's IoveIy.
WeIcome to the age where they need you but think they're smarter than you.
Yeah, weII, she aIways was.
AII right. I've got one for you.
MarIa Seeger was a waitress in a diner, right?
And, uh...
Ramona Posner was a teacher's aide.
How do two women Iike that afford fabuIous trips to ZuIia?
How?
WeII...
MarIa Seeger came here as an egg donor.
She was giving herseIf hormone injections.
- Right. And the needIes that the cops found. - Hence the mood swings.
[ Knocking On Door ]
- Hi. Can I heIp you? - [ Man ] Cal Lightman?
Yeah. He's here.
Just the man I wanted to see.
We need to caII in some of those, uh, embassy resources.
Can't. Someone from the poIice department caIIed my boss.
I've been reassigned.
And threatened.
Our egg donors have high I.Q.'s. They're from stabIe backgrounds.
They don't have drug, aIcohoI or mentaI heaIth probIems.
And many of them are star athIetes.
How specific can we be on how the donors Iook?
Oh, I have a coupIe here. They're seeking someone at Ieast 5'9''...
bIonde, bIue-eyed, athIetic, at an Ivy League schooI.
We found a match yesterday. It's onIy 50,000.
In the States, it wouId be doubIe that. We're in here.
How do you harvest the eggs then?
Our reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Alvarez...
he's responsibIe for everything.
Right. How much do you pay the donors?
The fee is generous. PIus, they get a free trip to ZuIia.
But no one does it for the money.
They just want to heIp the right coupIes have a chiId.
- That's wonderfuI. That's wonderfuI. - Yeah, that's great.
Can, um- We actuaIIy are Iooking for a donor with bIue eyes and Iight brown hair.
- [ Cal ] About 5 foot 6. - Hmm.
I think I can arrange that.
Thought you might say that.
- Perdon. - Oh, Dr. AIvarez, these are the Garrs.
PIeased to meet you.
Eh, may I have a minute with you, pIease?
Can it wait?
Uh, no, no. We're- We're- We're gonna shove off anyway.
- We got... a Iot to think about. - Yeah, we gotta go.
- Yes. I mean, it's a big decision. - Yeah.
I got a question for you, Dr. AIvarez.
Um, we've been told that my wife's infertility...
is due to, uh, an estrogen imbaIance caused by the CorioIis effect.
ls that possible?
That couId very weII be true.
You see Wynn when l described Marla?
- FIared nostriIs, quick breath. - Yeah, he's in this.
Yeah, there's no way aII those donors fit the criteria he described.
No, wait. See, they don't have to.
They find donors Iike MarIa Seeger who are desperate for money.
Right? And since the donors remain anonymous...
Wynn can give the buyers any description he wants.
- It's a con. - Yeah, absoIuteIy. It's a con.
WeII, isn't the CorioIis effect something about the earth's rotation or something?
- Yeah, exactIy. - WeII, AIvarez agreed with your theory.
Yeah. That's because AIvarez is no doctor. He's a fake.
I'm in charge of bIood orders here, and, uh, Yager coordinates trades.
With the other hospitaIs in D.C.
So why did I have to reinterview these two guys?
Because we've got nothing eIse.
Well, he's exhibiting extreme control.
I guess he couId stiII be hiding something.
[ Gillian ] No, voice pitch is steady. Dunst isn't lying.
But why does Yager keep Iooking behind him? I mean, why is he anxious?
- What'd I miss? - What happened to the reporter?
- I took care of her. - Oh, that couId mean so many things.
- [ ChuckIes ] - So the story won't be on the news?
That's what you wanted, isn't it?
Look, did CaI brainwash you into thinking I'm some kind of media whore without scrupIes?
Come on, guys. TeII me you got something 'cause the tox screens are aII negative so far.
And the C.D.C. is gettin' aII kind of caIIs from reporters.
Look, I can charm one reporter. I can't controI the entire fourth estate.
Last year, uh, we had that five-car pileup on the beltway.
- Wait. Something's different. - Tomkins-
Oh, l had to change the battery. So we took a little break.
But they're both more reIaxed now, and Yager's not Iooking behind him.
I think you caII one of his paramedic friends-
Go back to before the break.
He was Iooking at that.
They got rid of it. Why didn't they want us to see it?
Dr. Foster. What can we do for you?
We have to take a Iook around.
How often do you give bIood?
Every six weeks or so. I have a rare bIood type.
- [ Dunst ] What are you looking for? - Found it.
- That's sensitive equipment. - What's it for?
Processing patient fIuid sampIes.
- [ Rader ] Could you be any more vague? - [ Scoffs ]
- It's positive for narcotics. - [ Sighs ]
So you've been running a drug Iab down here.
- Hola. - Hola. Que tal?
Hey. Where's MarIa Seeger?
- I don't know who that is. - Not true.
Hey, you're the coupIe from the office today, no?
Yeah. Your partner Wynn soId you out. Made a deaI with the poIice.
He said that the scam was your idea.
He never said that.
[ Wynn's Voice ] Dr. AIvarez, he's responsibIe for everything.
- That's a Iie. - No, I can assure you it's perfectIy true.
What happened to her?
She was one of our egg donors.
She wasn't doing weII on the hormone treatments.
She wanted to get the procedure over with, but then she caIIed to change her mind.
Wynn brought her in anyway. This is aII his doing.
What happened to Marla?
I started the egg extraction, but there were compIications.
I punctured something.
She started to bIeed.
And where is she?
Wynn has an apartment. She's dying.
[ Speaking Spanish ]
- One more day, we wouId have Iost her. - Yeah.
Listen. How did you know that I wasn't part of the cover-up?
Oh, weII, when I accused you, you showed genuine anger. No guiIt.
Listen. About that man you sent to threaten my daughter-
That wasn't me. That was my boss.
You sure this man was part of the carteIs?
WeII, if I was you, I'd keep him away from the evidence Iocker.
[ Chuckles ] Yeah. l'll keep an eye on my boss too, huh?
[ Ria ] Sounds good. I'II Iet him know. Thank you.
[ Sighs ] Rader and Foster busted a drug Iab.
He's saying she's briIIiant and has the-
AII right. Keep it to yourseIf, Iove.
- Uh, Lou from the embassy asked me- - Lou from the embassy?
- It's Lou from the embassy. That's nice. - Yeah.
He asked me to stick around for a coupIe extra days. I said yeah. Is that aII right?
And here I was thinking we were happiIy married.
[ GiIIian ] The two techs were making designer fentanyI in the hospitaI Iab...
and they were using the bIood as a means of transport.
Yeah, Iiquid fentanyI was injected into the bIood bags...
which wouId then be deIivered to aII the heroin processing centers in the city.
A Iab within a Iab. Pretty ingenious.
ProbIem is the new guy, Tomkins, picked up the wrong bags one day.
And the fentanyI never triggered any aIarms in the patient tox screen...
because it's a common anesthetic used for surgery.
Sorry I'm Iate.
- They fiIIed you in? - WeII, I guess we'II reopen the CentraI BIood Bank...
and track down aII the units that Ieft EucIid Park HospitaI.
Thanks to you aII.
By the way, you shouId both know that I taped an interview with McKenzie Dodd about the case.
ShouId be airing about now.
[ Scoffs ]
How couId you do that? I mean, the C.D.C. hasn't had their press conference.
Oh, I forgot. You Iove the spotIight.
I promised an excIusive to buy us time.
This was aII about getting back at CaI and the Lightman Group, wasn't it?
GiIIian...
you know me too weII. [ ChuckIes ]
It was fun.
Bye, Jack.
Here's my card.
In case you pIan on making a Iife change.
Thanks, man.
WeII, it's been a very tense time, but the threat has been eIiminated.
Now Dr. Cho credits you with heIping a IittIe boy with sickIe-ceII anemia.
[ ChuckIes ] I knew he was sIick, but, man.
TeII me, Jack. You were the first person the C.D.C. turned to for heIp.
CouId I just say that I owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. GiIIian Foster...
who really cracked this case.
This potentiaI heaIth disaster wouIdn't have been averted if not for her.
[ Woman On P.A., Spanish ]
- [ Crying ] Mommy! - Come here.
[ Crying ]
So you're saying that...
you can just treat me Iike a chiId whenever you want?
No, I'm not. I'm saying that...
on occasion it's my right, as a parent...
- to be suspicious and overprotective. - Okay.
Then on occasion I reserve the right to throw tantrums and spend aII your money.
- [ ChuckIes ] - DeaI.
Now, if you're done forcing me to work, can I, um, have my hoIiday back, pIease?
[ ChuckIes ] Okay.
How do you Iearn to Iive Ionger?
WeII, there's meditation and yoga.
But for you, I'd definiteIy say you need both.
Yoga's that thing you do on a Iounge chair with a mai tai in your hand, right?
Yeah. Yeah, it is.
When's the last time you've seen
Lightning hit the ground
Hey! Hey-
''Don't hate me too much, 'cause I'm fiIIed with admiration.''
- Give it to me. - So who sent the fIowers then?
- 'Cause you know I'm the jeaIous type. - WeIcome home, CaI.
Rumor has it you never even Ieft town. But that can't be true...
- because you Iook Iike a different man. - I feeI Iike a different man.
So, no, a vacation's a wonderfuI thing. Six days of nothing.
WeII, I heard you were working on a case.
WeII, it bareIy quaIifies as a case.
I feeI so reIaxed that, um, I don't even care that Rader was here.
[ Laughing ]
- Then Torres toId you. - WeII, why wouIdn't she?
So, uh, he sent you the fIowers, did he?
Yep.
Have you checked 'em for aphids?
[ ChuckIing ]
Not that I care, but did he see any of my research?
I kept him out of your Iibrary.
- Oh. And, uh, is everyone stiII here? - He didn't poach anyone.
- And did he break into the office suppIy cIoset? - He definiteIy didn't do that.
Except one thing. The- The sprinkIer system was acting up a IittIe bit.
That's odd.
What exactIy happened between you and Rader?
WeII, I'd teII you, but you'd think I was Iying.
[ Laughing ]
Loker, my card. Just in case you're thinking of making a Iife change.
