He may last a month, it's hard to say.

Do you know what hospice is?

Okay, I want you to think of it like that.

Okay, ready?

Say 'wake up!'

Wake up!

Good morning, sir.

Morning.

I'm sorry to bother you, sir, but...

we should... we need to talk about Ethan.

Is there a problem?

Yes.

He's...

gotten out of control.

We've been waiting for you to

come home to talk to you. It's just...

He's become...

He's getting worse.

If you'd just come see for yourself...

Yes. I'll look in on him.

I can't today, but maybe tomorrow.

That's fine.

Human cloning. What was once a debate

about a hypothetical possibility,

mow appears to be reality, and it's

reignited an intense ethical debate.

Dr. Victor Reed announced

in a press conference yesterday

that he cloned the first human being,

calling her Elizabeth.

Joining me now is a leading genetic scientist

from Darton University Dr. William Scott.

Doctor Scott, you're in the camp of disbelief,

why do you think this is a fraud?

Well, I'm not saying that it's a fraud,

per se, but it is hard to believe.

But let's just say that it is true

and that he's succeeded in the birth

the child will most likely be born

with severe abnormalities

and most likely not survive

for more than a few months.

You see, for a donor nucleus

to develop into a clone...

Mommy!

I'll be there in a minute.

- Why didn't you call me, James?

- Because there's nothing to worry about.

- There's nothing to worry about.

- It's infant eczema.

I've already treated it

with a simple skin cream.

You treated her?

Yes.

Did you agree to this?

I had stepped out of the room, but she

told me about it as soon as I returned.

We're talking about a harmless skin cream.

I'll decide what's harmless.

Subject number...

M-124.

Okay.

Let's target...

175 through 350.

Okay.

We're ready for her.

Yes.

No, I... I couldn't say.

Is Laura still here?

Excuse me.

You're not allowed down here.

I was looking for the cardiology floor.

How'd you get down here?

I'm sorry. I must have gotten lost.

This isn't the cardiology floor?

No.

What's down here?

Sir...

you need to turn around

and leave this floor.

Sir, you need to leave right now.

Alright. I'm leaving.

Must have gotten lost.

- Have you seen him before?

- No.

Never been on this floor?

Was he aggressive to you?

- Yes.

- Okay.

- Would you recognize him again if you saw him?

- Yeah, absolutely.

Okay. Doc, here's what I'm going to do.

I'm going to post a man at each one

of the entrances coming onto this floor.

Ethan. Where are you?

Ethan?

Ethan?

Where are you?

There you are!

Are you hurting?

What did you say?

Ethan, what did you say?

Can you say "Mary"?
