Morgan! Page #4

---

That I'm impressed?

Are we allowed to be here?

It's okay.

This can be our little secret.

See, this is a pine tree.

And, you know,

some of them can live

for thousands of years.

- Thousands of years?

- Yeah.

It's pretty cool, isn't it?

Morgan, I'm so proud of you.

Why?

Because you're learning

how to be yourself.

And that's the most important thing.

- That was delicious.

- Thanks.

What, you showing off

for the new girl?

So what does that mean, exactly?

"Risk management consultant"?

Pretty much how it sounds.

Most corporations employ

a certain amount of risk

and I assess that risk

against anticipated profit.

Of course.

Anticipated profit.

So, did you two meet on the job?

We did.

Close quarters makes for

strange bedfellows, I guess.

It's funny, but in a weird way,

Morgan really brought us together.

She's almost like a child to us.

Isn't that right, babe?

Absolutely.

You know. You met her today.

Saw how special she is.

And that's just the thing.

You see, it is so easy to forget

that Morgan is only five years old.

She is an innocent and she's learning,

and she has the right

to make mistakes.

She has no rights, whatsoever.

Yes. Well, we've been

living here for seven years.

As you can imagine,

it's difficult to avoid gender.

"She," "it," whatever--

so you assess this whole

anticipated profit thing.

And then what?

Then I make my recommendation

to corporate.

You'll have to forgive

Amy's curiosity.

Dr. Cheng,

may I present miss weathers.

It's a pleasure to finally meet you.

Have we not met before?

I don't think so.

I'm sure I would have remembered.

So glad you could join us.

Thank you.

So, miss weathers...

I imagine that corporate has

granted you unreserved authority here.

I hope we are able to assist you

in coming to a fair conclusion.

Thank you.

I have an enormous amount

of respect for your work, Dr. Cheng.

And your judgment.

Were you in Helsinki for long?

Not until after.

I was with recovery.

I'm sure it was

very difficult for you.

No account could do it justice.

We had a team of 30 people

on that project.

It took only an hour

for 30 to become nine.

I have learned a hard lesson here.

For every decision we make,

there are consequences.

Well,

this is not Helsinki, Dr. Cheng.

Those were crude prototypes.

Morgan is much more advanced.

So much more than the company

could ever expect.

I hope that you are correct.

Why did you end Morgan's

eco-therapy sessions with Amy?

There was an incident in the woods.

Amy took Morgan

beyond the property lines.

It could have compromised

the entire project.

That was my excuse.

But the truth...

Do you know the cruelest thing
