- Hey.|- Yeah, Jon Neal here.

You just had sex with me in a hotel|and left without saying goodbye.

Well, if I don't get to see you again...

...I just wanted to say|it was nice to see you again.

And listen,|use that other e-mail I gave you...

...because that's the only secure one,|okay?

I'm just jet-lagged. I'm tired.

You should go home and get some rest.|Hong Kong's a long way.

So you really kicked ass|in that football pool?

You need to give up on your Lions.|Pick with your head, not your heart.

Yeah, thank you for the tip.

- Yeah. Doc...|- Yeah?

I know you're busy. I...

- You got a second?|- Sure.

I got a medical question.

My kid's been|having problems at school.

- Attention deficit thing.|- ADHD?

- Yeah.|- He been diagnosed yet?

That's the thing.|They want him to see someone.

I was wondering|if you could take a look at him.

- I'm not really that kind of doctor.|- I didn't know. I just thought...

Maybe I can refer someone, though.

- Yeah?|- Yeah. It's treatable.

- Okay.|- We'll find someone, have them take a look.

- Shouldn't be a problem.|- Okay.

- All right.|- Yup.

- Thanks, doc.|- You're welcome.

Why doesn't anybody|help him? Is he okay?

Read the posts.

Some say it was staged. An art project.

Some say the authorities|wouldn't do an autopsy.

Covered it up.

- Covered what up?|- We don't know.

Maybe Minamata disease.|You know, from mercury in the fish.

There have been outbreaks in the past.|Fishing industry suppresses it.

- "Industrial disease."|- Yeah, but it's just one man.

- We don't know what happened.|- Just one man on video.

Not everyone has the foresight|to die in front of a camera.

The ones we don't see worry me.

Fish is shipped all over the world|from there.

How many people read your paper|over a plate of sushi?

Alan, we have almost no freelance budget|anymore, and after H1...

You wait. A few days, this will be tweeted|and YouTubed all over the planet.

We don't wanna be the paper|that cries wolf.

I'll show it to Hobart.|He does our health stuff.

You're gonna give him my story?|You're gonna give him my story, aren't you?

No, Alan, I'm trying to help you.|It's just one man on a bus.

- I taped this meeting.|- We need more information than that.

This story runs in the Chronicle,|I will sue your ass.

Great. Okay, bye, Alan.|Don't call me anymore.

Print media is dying, Lorraine.

It's dying.|I'll save you a seat on the bus.

Hi, I'm Mitch Emhoff.|I'm Clark's stepdad. Clark Morrow.

All right, I'll let him know you're here.

Okay.

He said he was feeling very warm|in Mrs. Tatum's class.

I took his temperature again since I called.|It was a touch over a hundred.

Okay. Well, first his mom|and now the mighty Clark?

All right, let's go get some soup|for you and Mom.

Hope you feel better, Clark, okay?

Okay. Thank you.

Thattaboy.

We're gonna beat this thing down|by Turkey Day.

I'm in Texas. I'll try it.|I'll try anything once.

That's not true.
