Mary.

That's... that's my name. Mary.

Let's try your name. Ethan.

Ethan.

Ethan. You can do it. E...

Enough. Now stop it.

Ethan.

I said stop it!

Do you want me to take that toy?

Ethan. Ethan!

We're looking into this to see

if he's broken any laws in this state.

At the very least, though, the state

wants a right to examine the baby,

make sure she's not a health risk

to the community.

- We petition the court to do just that.

- Well, what if she is a health risk?

I'm not in position to answer that.

It's going to be up for the courts to decide.

I will say this, though...

there are a lot of people

upset about this, including me.

I'm not going to sit idly by.

I want answers.

We're not just talking about state and

federal laws, we're talking about God's law.

Intense reaction continues following

Dr. Reed's shocking announcement.

Protestors are gathering

outside Parkland Hospital

where Dr. Reed is rumored

to be keeping the cloned baby.

Hospital officials aren't confirming

if baby Elizabeth is indeed inside.

But rumors continue to draw out crowds.

With police, at on point, breaking up

an angry group of protesters,

forcing them off the hospital's property.

Now, joining us live at the studio is

our medical expert Dr. Rachael Morison.

Dr. Morison,

what do we know about Dr. Reed?

Well, we know he received

his doctorate from MIT in 1994,

and then he did a surgical

residency in Johns Hopkins.

- But this is where it gets pretty hazy.

- Where have you been?

We have confirmed reports that he

spent several years out of the country.

- Working.

- You didn't call.

The girls were expecting you for dinner

and I didn't know what to tell them.

Now that you're home, you have to call.

Not for me, but for your daughters.

I don't know what to say.

You know what we're working on.

This is just the beginning, isn't it?

I don't mean to sound harsh,

but right now this is more important.

Fish is coming through,

fish is coming through.

My finger.

Dr. Reed is home.

You better take a look.

When did it start?

It's been going on since I got home.

Did you feed him?

Well, no. I won't feed him

when he's like this, you know that.

Well, don't worry about it.

He'll calm down in a little while,

and I'll take care of it then.

This is different.

I don't like it.

- Would you listen to him? He never stops!

- Well, he's in a lot of pain.

You always say that.

Did you give him his medicine?

- Yes.

- Well, why is he acting like this?

I thought the medicine was supposed

to help. When's it gonna stop?

I don't know, Mary! I don't know,

I'm not a doctor, so I don't know.

You know how it is.

We just have to wait it out.
