Godsend Page #2
- My son is dead.
- Paul, please.
You come at me with this?
God knows what hell you've been through.
The last thing I want to do
is make it any harder.
But the truth is, I can do this
and I want you to know.
What you're talking about is illegal
not to mention potentially immoral.
Illegal yes, immoral no.
We're talking about using life
to create life, that's all.
You've done this before?
Successfully cloned a human being?
No, I haven't.
I've been looking for an ideal candidate.
I read about what happened.
I hope if you aren't interested
in what I'm proposing here...
- What are you proposing here?
- He's not even sure that he can...
That's not true. I am sure.
- Still, it does come down to trust. You'd be...
- Excuse me. Your menus.
You'd be gambling on me
as much as I'd be gambling on you.
My clinic is 300 miles from here.
If you did this, it would mean moving
there and changing your lives entirely.
Paul's right
this is extremely against the law.
You'd have to sever all ties with
family with friends, with anyone
who ever knew Adam.
I would help with the relocation
and I could get you a job
at the local high school.
- You know what, I've heard enough.
- Paul, I know how upsetting this is.
No, you don't know!
- Let's go.
- You're right. I'm sorry to have upset you.
- Jessie.
Jessie!
I can be reached at this number.
DNA can be saved indefinitely
but Adam's cells will only be viable
another 72 hours.
So if you do change your mind...
He's practically a stranger.
I can't believe you're considering this!
I can't believe you're not considering this!
Any idea how much could go wrong?
Honey, I... Listen, I love you. I love you.
I love you beyond words, OK?
But only the tiniest thing has to go wrong
and so much has to go right.
- But what if it did?
- It still wouldn't be Adam.
It would be an identical twin. Another kid.
He'd have the same face
and the same laugh.
- We can try again, I swear to God.
- No, we can't. You know we can't.
We'll find a way.
We can have another...
I don't want another child! I want Adam!
I want him back!
You know what I kept thinking
while I was waiting for the paramedics...
and he was in my arms...
...and I was watching him die?
This is the last time I'll ever get to hold him.
My little boy.
- Hello.
Paul?
I just heard.
- I'm so sorry.
- Ah, yeah. Thank you, Sam.
Er... So how's... Jessie taking all this?
Actually, she's er... she's not so well.
Right. Of course.
Um... Look, would you please
just pass on my condolences to her?
Yeah, I will.
Hey, Sam, can I er...
can I ask you something?
Have you ever heard of a doctor
named Richard Wells?
