OK, Mom!

What's that?

Adam's file. Take a look.

I'll think about it.

I don't seem to have much time

for God nowadays, Doctor.

It seems to work both ways.

Hows about you? Got your faith?

My daughter

lost her husband not too long ago.

He was a good, good man

and he was murdered

for no reason at all.

Murdered?

Mm-hm.

So I find it kind of hard to believe

in a God that could hurt my daughter...

...is Adam there?

I'm sorry,

Dr Harding. I'm the only one here.

Little CC.

Hey, Charlie. You look terrible.

Well, thank you.

A course of antibiotics, I'll be fine.

Alright.

To what do I owe the pleasure?

Um, Adam Saber.

I want to know how he came to you

and why you dumped him on my father.

The police found him laying in the street.

He didn't appear intoxicated.

Claimed he wasn't able to walk.

Gave his name as David Bernburg.

By the time I examined him,

he was up on his feet,

calling himself Adam Saber,

said he had no idea

how he got to the hospital.

Well, I thought of

your father immediately.

Well, yeah, sure.

Um, have you ever had a patient

who was colourblind in just one eye?

No. Why?

I was just thinking it might explain...

Never mind.

How's Sammy?

She's great.

Soccer-crazy.

There are tryouts at the school

this Friday. You should come.

I'd like that.

Good.

Um, can I get a copy of his hospital file?

I'll fax it this afternoon.

Thank you.

Take care of yourself, alright?

Yeah.

I will. You take care of that kid.

Yeah. Always.

Um, does Ellie still work in radiology?

Yeah, but she's up

on the third floor now.

Alright. Thanks again.

'Bye.

Is it possible that

when he wrenches his neck,

he's compressing,

decompressing a nerve

and causing some kind

of temporary paralysis?

Look.

This X-ray - the third, the fourth,

the fifth vertebrae...

Fused.

Mmm.

So we're looking at X-rays here

of two different people.

Two different people.

It's a hoax - a guy, the doctor.

The doctor?

Sure.

How well do you know him?

Well, some days, not at all.

Gets under your skin, doesn't he?

These aren't his films. They can't be.

Isn't it possible

that what you 're looking at

is actually what you 're seeing?

No, because this is not possible.

Adam is the real deal.

No.

He is a desperately ill young man,

but he's fully aware of David

and all of David's actions.

David is pure invention

and I'll prove it to you.

You know what? We haven't had

dinner together in over a month.

Well, you 're coming to Easter,

aren't you?

Uh-huh.

Do you want me to bring anything?

Just your delightful self.

That's my girl.

Yeah.

Thanks.

Thank you.

OK, what name?

So, David Bernburg,

Shadywood High School, Shadywood.

Shadywood.
