- 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!

You could never 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?
