"(beeping)" "This is going to help you relax." "We are here today to celebrate the man of the millennium." "His research has the potential to completely eradicate cancer on a global scale." "Ladies and gentlemen, please join me in welcoming Doctor Anthony Oswald." "(clapping)" "Thank you!" "Thank you all for being here today." "There are several people without whom this never would have been possible." "First of all my beautiful mother Vivian, who never stopped believing in me." "My friends and colleagues at the McPherson Research Lab, specifically Doctor Vincent, who pushed me to continue." "And lastly, Michael Francis, a dear friend whose life is the reason we are all present here today." "In his memory the work will continue, as on this site the Michael Francis Research Center will be built for the study and treatment of terminal diseases." "(clapping)" "(phone ringing)" "Your name is everywhere!" "I just wish someone would have discovered this thirty years ago." "I know!" "You are still coming to the groundbreaking next week, right?" "I wouldn't miss it for anything." "Did you get the package I sent you?" "I did!" "Well, I just wanted you to have something to remember all this excitement by." "It's beautiful, Anthony!" "Well, I'll see you next week then." "I love you!" "I just got a message that a copy of Eva Harford's two year scan results are going to be sent to you." "Perfect!" "And the family wanted you to know that there are still no traces of cancer." "Thank you for coming to tell me!" "No problem." "We did it!" "How is Eva?" "Good." "Surgery went well." "The doctor said the tumor hadn't grown substantially and she hasn't had any reactions to Vivamase." "I'm so relieved to hear that!" "She's obviously not out of the woods just yet, but that's a huge step in the right direction" "Yeah." "Absolutely!" "Well, I'll let you guys be." "I'll stop back by in a couple days." "Thanks for coming." "Not a problem." "Anthony?" "Jason?" "I haven't seen you in forever." "Eight years since microbiology." "Well come on in, man." "Have a seat." "Thanks!" "How's life?" "You remember Eva, right?" "Of course." "We're married now." "Congratulations!" "How is married life?" "It's a...." "Are things okay?" "No, actually, it's it's Eva." "We just found out she has brain cancer." "They can't stop it from spreading, so it's only a matter of time before..." "I'm so sorry." "Look, is there anything I can do?" "Vivamase." "You're doing trials now, right?" "Yes." "Yes, we are." "I can put you in touch with the clinical research nurse, but you really need to think about this from all angles." "We have had good results so far, but it's still an experimental treatment" "It's the only option that we have left." "Sir!" "I isolated it." "It worked." "The enzyme completely inactivates telomerase, which means that the cell cannot continue to replicate." "Exactly!" "Come on, let me show you." "Were you here all night?" "Apparently." "You must be the new research assistant." "Yes, sir." "Anthony Oswald." "Glad to meet you." "I wish you could still be here, Michael." "I miss you." "My promise still stands," "I'm going to cure it." "I have to cure it." "Mom, why did Michael have to die?" "He was very sick, sweetheart." "But, why couldn't they make him better?" "There's no cure for cancer, buddy." "And some people, like Michael are too sick even for the medicine they do have." "Mom," "I'm going to figure out a way to make it better." "I'm sure you will." "Michael," "I don't know if you can hear me, but I'm going to make it better." "I promise." "I'm going to do it for you." "That was Michael's mom." "I'm so sorry." "What does that mean, Mom?" "Is he okay?" "It means Michael is with the angels now, sweetheart." "No more doctors, no more medicine, and no more sickness." "Hi, I'm Anthony!" "I'm Michael." "Want to play?" "Sure." "Come here." "You're coming!" "Ohhh, give me hugs." "Give me hugs!" "Look!" "What is that?" "Can mommy listen to your heart?" "(heartbeat)" "(baby's laughter)" "(heartbeat stops)" "(beeping)" "No remaining signs of the fetus." "My work here is done." "(beeping fades away)"
