But... you can't eat hope.

Hey.

We haven't got the chance to tell you.

Real sorry about your

mom. She was a good one.

Dad?

David.

Annabelle.

I don't mean to be insensitive...

but I was kind of hoping you

could answer a question for me.

Your mother underwent a kidney

transplant at St. Luke's.

Your father is listed as the donor.

Her body rejected the transplant.

See, what I'm trying to understand is...

there must have been some kind of mistake.

The x-rays...

Your father has two perfectly

functioning kidneys of his own.

COMMENTATOR (ON TV): We've just

reached the point of no return.

Ultimatum from Russia and

China changes everything.

Not hungry?

COMMENTATOR (ON TV): And with no sign

of the U.S. or Israel backing down.

In the hospital, you kept calling her...

talking to her like she was right there.

COMMENTATOR (ON TV): Thermo-nuclear

war and at the very least...

a conflict that will just overshadow

absolutely anything that's going on.

I know it's been tough, but we're only

going to make it if we work at this together.

[ANNABELLE] Okay?

Yeah.

COMMENTATOR (ON TV): There's a

great deal of secrecy surrounding...

the General's next move.

But there are rumors that ground

forces are making their way...

across the border into

Tehran in the coming days.

Air raids have

already intensified...

and we have word that

special forces troops...

have infiltrated several

critical outposts closer in...

paving the way for

aggressive ground attacks.

The first wave of US draft troops have

arrived from training in Afghanistan...

despite stern warnings from

Russian, Chinese and French leaders.

WOMAN (WHISPERING): David.

David.

Jane?

I miss you.

I know.

What's happening to me?

You remember the night I

told you I was pregnant?

You said you didn't want to

bring a child into this place...

but as long as we were

together there was always hope.

You have to create it.

JANE (V.O.):
There isn't

much time... for Annie.

COMMENTATOR (ON TV): The President has

assured us that the disarmament of Iran...

will insure a sense of security

for generations to come...

but what we're dealing with

is the complete and utter...

destabilization of an entire region.

We've caused the displacement of

thousands of families into refugee camps.

These families are suffering from

starvation due to overcrowding.

The question we've got

to ask ourselves is...

when will the bloodshed

come to an end?

I wasn't expecting you to

come all the way out here.

I came so you could explain to me in
