"You keep an eye on Wes?" " He's very depressed, David." " Yeah, I know, Mayko told me." " My eyes are bleeding." " It's a side effect of the interferon." " And my HIV's gonna turn to AIDS, Bob." " I can't leave you." "I'm..." "It's mainly his left side." "Fractured distal tibia, broken femur." "I'm gonna die, Rachel." "I'm experiencing strange memories." "Roth's lab." "Except it's deserted." "You know the woman I was thinking about?" " I can draw her." " She's pretty." "Get me the Amsterdam treatment." " It's too experimental." " Do it." "Give me the treatment." "What else can I do?" "Help!" "He's not breathing!" "Take it easy." "It's okay." "I need someone, now!" "I'm willing to take full responsibility." "I think you can give a little credit to Wes." "From what you've told me, it sounds like he put you in a very tough position." "It doesn't excuse what I did." "He's in anaphylactic shock." "Stay with me, Wes." "What the hell happened in here?" "I could have killed him." "Any idea... why he had an allergic reaction?" "I don't know." "I mean, it could have been the linkers that attach the Hep C receptors to the red blood cells." "But... that would take months to figure out, and... he doesn't have months." "We'll make him as comfortable as we can." "That sounds so terminal." "I'm sorry, Rachel." "I can't give up." "I'm not saying that you should." "But if you try any more experiments in this hospital, you could be facing criminal charges." "I understand." "And I'm willing to face the consequences."

"She does still work here, doesn't she?" "Mayko, you're fired." "She went to the hospital last night to be with Wes." " How's he doing?" " I haven't heard from her this morning." "Look, did you read this?" "The girl poisoned in Ottawa?" "She's the daughter of City Councilor Randall Oberman." "He's trying to stop the construction of a mosque." "Any reason?" "Some kind of zoning issue." "But of course he's got the Muslim community all over him." "So he thinks they poisoned his daughter?" "That's what Oberman's saying." "He got a bunch of death threats since he spoke out against the mosque." "And the Muslims are calling it discrimination." "They've been under a lot of harassment since 9-11." "People want them out of the neighborhood." "How's the girl doing?" "She's still in hospital." "They can't ID the poison." "So they don't even know if she was poisoned?" "I guess." "Sounds like political bullshit to get people on Oberman's side, Mayko." " Maybe we should look into it." " I knew you were going there!" "They had to close down the high school after they had a near riot... 'cause a bunch of kids attacked some Muslim kids." "And then some Muslims went and defaced a local church." "Can't we all just get along?" "What?" "Hello, David." "I hope it's about Olivier Roth wanting to have lunch with me." "What do you know about Lincoln, Nebraska?" "They got a great tractor museum." "Yes, about the woman with smallpox." "She doesn't have smallpox." "She's got vaccinia." " David..." " It is a weaker cousin of smallpox" " used in a vaccine." " I know." "CDC says she got it from her husband." "He was a Marine on his way to Iraq." "He was vaccinated against smallpox." "He kissed his wife goodbye and managed to pass on the closest thing to smallpox a human being can get." "She's dying." "Sorry to hear that." "The FDA is willing to fast-track some drugs for compassionate use." "What drugs?" "Homeland Security commissioned three biotechnology companies to come up with a cure in case of a smallpox attack." "Oh yeah?" "How'd they do?" "Don't know." "Never tested it on an actual smallpox victim." "That's because smallpox was eradicated in 1977, Carl." "Yeah." "Well, now we have a unique opportunity." "Carl, referring to a dying woman as a "unique opportunity" is sick." "Whatever." "Homeland wants NorBAC's opinion on which drug to use." "Fine." "I'll need to see all the studies done by the companies," " both successes and failures." " It's on its way." " How many days do we have?" " 24 hours." " Why the rush?" " It's all the time she's got left." "No." "Nicely done." "I don't think you should put this on your resume." "Wes, Wes..." "I'm so sorry." " It's okay." " So, how are you feeling?" " The broken ribs aren't bad." " Right." "My leg is a little itchy, my kidneys and liver ache, but... other than that, I'm really... top notch." "You do have that sexy yellow glow." "Thank you." "I was beginning to think I was on the losing end of death's stick," "Miss Woods." "So, how soon can we try that again?" " What, are you serious?" " Oh yes." "I know you'll figure out what I reacted to and you'll fix it." "And then we can go again, right?" "Right now, maybe you should recover from my first attempt to kill you." "I'm ready to go anytime you are." "You're a mess." "You know that, don't you?" "I know you're not gonna give up on me." "And I know you're gonna figure something out." "Okay, thank you." "So, hey, according to the CDC, all three drugs were used in a study with cynomolgus monkeys with high intravenous doses of pox, equivalent" " to late-stage disease in humans." " And?" "All animals that received the drug were protected from the disease." "In monkeys?" "In monkeys." "It's a start." "We got a long way to go to the finish line, so let's dig in." "What?" "Hey, you in Lincoln?" "Yeah, I just got to the hospital." "Has the data arrived yet?" "Yeah, we're just starting to go over it." "You better look at it fast, David." "I think they may have called us too late." " Captain Richard Hilliard." " Dr. Carlos Serrano." "Marianne Wiley was admitted with a blistering rash and a mild fever three days ago." "Once they figured out what was going on, they started her on vaccinia immunoglobulin therapy." "Clearly not working." " Have you tried antivirals?" " I've tried everything." " May I?" " Sure." "I'm Dr. Carlos Serrano, with a lab that's here to research the different treatments." "Yes, have you decided?" "We're not quite there yet." " Well, she can't wait that long." " Mark..." "Let him do his job." "Sorry, sir." "I'm Mark Wiley, Marianne's husband." "Hi." "Marianne, how are you?" "We're going to need to do a quick examination." "It hurts her to be touched, okay?" "She says it feels like her skin is tearing off." "That's all right, we don't need to touch her." "What about her pain?" "We can increase the morphine." "But we'll have to put you on a ventilator." " Baby, it's okay ?" " It will give your body a rest." "I'm afraid..." "Don't be afraid." "I'm like an alarm clock, okay?" "Take the morphine." "Give your body a rest." "Doc, may I have a word?" "Sure." "Increase morphine to comfort and prepare for intubation." "Just hang in there." "I'll be right back." "So how come I'm not sick?" "Your body's healthy and you can cope with a live vaccine." "I don't understand." "Marianne was healthy too." "Well, Marianne has eczema, which can be a sign of an immune deficiency." "But how did she get it from me?" "Pox viruses are usually transmitted through close oral contact, a cough, maybe a sneeze," " maybe a kiss." " A kiss... did this?" "Thank you, sir." " Hey!" " Hey." "Sorry I'm late." "So, what's up?" "How's Wes?" "He's..." "I almost killed him, David." "Come here." "Come here." "Sit down." "What happened?" "A systemic allergic reaction." "He's all right now?" "Yeah, he's..." "I spent the last I don't know how many hours going over this, and I can't..." "I can't figure it out." "I don't know what else to do." "It's okay." " I don't think he'll make it." " Ah, come on!" "Fuck that shit!" "I know, but David, I have tried everything, and I don't know what else to do." "What do you know about BT-590?" "Protease inhibitors?" "Just that toxicity is an issue with that." "We'll think of something" "We are going to think of something." " I have to stay on this." " Absolutely." "You do what you have to do." " Thank you." " Okay." "Is it smallpox, Captain?" "Should we be concerned?" "No, it's not smallpox." "But it has many of the same symptoms and it can kill people." "That's not true." "Is it contagious, Captain?" "Should the military stop the inoculation program?" "No, it's not contagious." "Excuse me, we're late for a meeting." "Are the inoculations safe for our troops?" "Yes." "What you told that reporter is actually not true." "Marianne caught it from her husband, so technically, it is contagious." "We don't need to start a panic." " It could happen again." " This was a perfect storm, with several highly unusual conditions coming together." " But the chances of reoccurrence..." " Are greater than zero." "Dr. Serrano, the safety of our men and women in uniform is not compromised by these vaccinations." "Any time you're dealing with a live virus, there is the possibility of side effects." "And that is something the press would have a field day with." "I suggest we keep it to ourselves." "You're referring to the truth?" "How much longer do we have to wait?" "I'll make the call now." "What?" " David, I need an answer now." " What happened to 24 hours?" "Her abdomen is starting to fill with fluid and her kidneys are close to failing." " It's not looking good." " Okay, um..." " Give me 24 minutes." " Okay." "Bob!" "Mayko!" " The CR-356 has some heart issues." " What kind?" " QT prolongation." " I called their chief scientist." "He couldn't convince himself it was safe." "I had a comparison done of their studies and the long QT issues make CR-356 questionable." "Okay, that sounds pretty conclusive." "CR-356, heart issues." "Let's sideline it, that leaves us with ST-146 from QuestLogic and LB-320 from VacMed." "Each of the remaining two drugs have the same pharmacophore." "LB-320 is a pro drug, though, right?" "Yes." "It's inactive till your body changes it to an active form." "Meaning it may last longer." "It'll be active in your body for a longer period of time." "That's good." "But it showed elevated liver enzymes..." "in rodents." " High toxicity?" " Correct." "QuestLogic's 146 does have a wider dose range." "That nails it." "It's safer and we can give more of the drug to her without worrying about side effects." "But QuestLogic has done some iffy pre-clinical studies." "Remember that big FDA thing?" "I do, but they cleaned house since then." "They got a new chief scientist." "And more importantly, their drug is least likely to harm the patient." "That's our priority." "Where are the drugs?" " They're already at the hospital." " Dr. Corwin, how is he?" "Oh, my God!" "Oh, my God!" " Where are the drugs?" " Already in the hospital at Lincoln." "Carlos, QuestLogic ST-146." "Best guess." "Hang on." "I got another call." "Go for it." "What?" "Seriously, who is this?" "Fuck off!" "Who is this?" "Well yeah, it does kind of sound like you," "Sir." "Yeah, sure." "Okay." "Right." "I understand." "Just..." "That was the..." "Prime Minister." "He wants us to look into the poisoning." "There have been more reprisals." "I told you!" "Has anybody been hurt?" "He says it's just a matter of time." "The local imam as agreed to let us act as a neutral investigating..." "What?" " It's working." " What?" "The treatment that almost killed Wes, it's working." "His Hep C viral load is down." "It's working." " Hey." " Hey." "I knew you could do it." "How are you feeling?" "I don't think I could run a marathon or anything, but..." "Yeah, you're doing fine." "So are you." "Marianne..." "This drug has never been used on a human being before." "It's been successful in animal trials." "I think it's your best hope, but I'm going to need your permission." "It's okay, sweetie." "You need to get better now." "If you could just sign here." "Well, that's okay." "You can sign it." "Yes, sir." "I've been talking with... the head of the burn unit here, Dr. Fleming." "She's done incredible things with artificial skin technology." "She uses collagen, and she's able to grow epidermal cells directly on it." "She tells me you're a good candidate." "My skin..." "Can be repaired." "I had her tested and retested." "Still no trace of any poison that we can find." " And yet the symptoms..." " Consistent with poisoning." "It's okay, he's with me." "Mr. Oberman." "More doctors to shrug their shoulders?" "No, sir." "I'm David Sandström." "North American Biotechnology Advisory Commission." "The Prime Minister has asked us to help out." "Good." "Thank you." "I'm Stella's father, Randall Oberman." "Can you... tell me what happened?" "Stella came home around 10 pm, the day before yesterday." "She was acting disoriented." "I thought she was... on drugs or had been drinking." "She is 14." "Later, she threw up." "She wanted to go to bed." "I checked on her around 12 midnight and she was sweating like she'd just run a marathon." "She couldn't catch her breath." "I called an ambulance." "When she was admitted, her temperature was 41." "She had tremors, and then some kind of a seizure." "A couple of hours later, she was comatose." "Has anything like this ever happened to her before?" "No." "No." "We can't bring her temperature down." "We've got her on maximum blood pressure medication and full ventilator support." "We ran the full gamut of tests." "Checked electrolytes, glucose." "All normal." " No source of infection?" " No." "Cultures are negative." "Antibiotics aren't doing anything." "Look, we have an expert here now, Doctor." "Let him take over." "Actually, Mr. Oberman, I'm a scientist." "Dr. Modi is a physician." "I need to hear what he has to say." "We did a full toxicology screen." "I sent blood and urine samples to two poison centers in Quebec and Toronto." " So, you're treating the symptoms?" " As best as we can." "Excuse me." "Hopefully we won't have to deal with his incompetence much longer." "It looks like he's doing everything right." "Maybe for wherever he came from." "Mr. Oberman, where was your daughter before she came home?" "There was a dance at school." "Stella said she was going, but no one saw her there." "They must've grabbed her." "They?" "Some boys, Arabs." "Muslims kids had been taunting her at school and defaced her locker." " You told this to the police?" " Of course!" "They..." "They questioned the boys." "They stuck together... they said they hadn't seen Stella that night." "They had their... lies all ready to go." "Or the truth." "Listen, Mr. Oberman, I'm just here to find out what's making your daughter sick, all right?" "Not to start a holy war." "If she dies..." "Yeah." "The therapy I want to get, though, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, is a well-established medical treatment." "Can it do anything for a guy with half a liver?" "It's okay, Bob." "I'm doing fine." "Hyperbaric treatment is more for embolisms, carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene..." "What I wouldn't do for a good old-fashioned gangrene right about now!" "Yeah..." "Why the sudden interest in this thing?" "Oh, well, there is some evidence that it can also help with intracranial abscess, an increase of pus in the brain." " That's what you've got?" " I think so." "Antibiotics aren't working?" "Tell me how it works." "I'll go inside it." "Then the atmospheric pressure will be increased to the prescribed amount for the treatment." "And then I'll be given 100% oxygen to breathe for a set amount of time." "That'll clear up your brain?" "In combination with the antibiotics, it has proven to be effective." "That's out-there." "At one time, inserting an electronic device into the chest cavity to stimulate the heart was considered... kind-of-out-there." "Today, there are millions of pacemakers in use." " Better go." " Thanks for coming by." "Bob..." "I'm sorry about what happened up on the roof." "So am I." "I know what you were going through and I should have...{\" " No.}" "Don't." "Thanks though." "Hey, thanks for the books you brought me." " Used is okay?" " Yeah, it's great." "I haven't read this one before and my sleep is important." "Get better Wes, okay?" "I miss you." " Hey, Carlos!" "When did you get back?" " Last night." " We made the right call." "She's stable." " Fantastic!" "Bob, how's Wes doing?" "He's eating, sitting up." "He's doing fine, David." " What's going on around here?" " What do you mean?" "Nothing but good news." "What have we got on those poison, Bob?" "Alcohols, amphetamines barbiturates," "MDMA, paracetamol, salicylate, all negative." "Ditto: opiates, tricyclics..." " Okay." " Beta-blockers, anti..." "Okay, Bob!" "Anything positive?" "Everything was negative." "'Morning." "Got that list of all the obscure poisons?" "I found hundreds.{\" " Jesus!" "}" "Some are really weird." "Ever heard of Zuclopenthixol?" "Alright, we screen for all of them." "Mayko, set up a database." "Bob, Carlos, you look for any combinations of poisons, natural, man-made, medicinal, fungal..." "Anything out of the ordinary, red flag it." " What's up?" " I did an Ellman assay," " a test for cholinesterase." " Neurotransmission suppressant?" "Looks like she has reduced activity." "Don't know if it's significant." " Source?" " Maybe a pesticide." " Do we know what kind?" " Not really." "Up here." " Have you checked everything?" " Yes." "I'll redo it if you like." " Maybe you'd better." " I'll use a fresh kit." " We need to be really sure about this." " Yeah, I understand." "Wait a minute." "How much pesticide would it take to do this?" "Don't know." "The test isn't that quantitative." "Find a test that'll give us concentration levels." "On it." "Our girl may have been poisoned with a cholinesterase inhibitor." "What's that?" "Something that sends your heart and lungs into overdrive." "You can't stop." " It is treatable, alright?" " Yeah, with pralidoximine." "Work with Bob." "If you can confirm that it's a pesticide, call me immediately." "Okay." "Mayko, I need everything you can get me on cholinesterase inhibitors, everything they're used in, where they're manufactured, imports and then, get in touch with the Defense Department to see if they've had been stolen." "If it's a pesticide, why would Defense?" "Because one of its uses is in nerve gas." "Oh man!" "Where are you going?" "Back to Ottawa." "I don't want to deliver this news on the phone." "Dr. Corwin said my liver was severely damaged by the virus." "Damaged, but not irreparable." "It's a transplant and it could take years to find a liver." "Wes, I think that's only one option." "You don't think it's a good idea?" "Progression of the HCV infection is sometimes accelerated with transplantation." "And..." "What?" "you may face bone marrow toxicity and the risk of allograft rejection..." "What are our alternatives, then?" "I'm looking into it." "But the good news is, you're stable, and that gives us some time to explore those options, right?" " Sure." " It's..." "You're going to be okay." "I know, Doctor." "I'm already better than okay." "Come in, Dr. Sandström." " This is Detective Ian McGilvray." " Hey!" "David Sandström." "Look, I wanted to bring this to you personally, okay?" "We think we have a lead on a possible, a possible poison, something called a cholinesterase inhibitor." "Nothing conclusive, but we're chasing it." "Dr. Modi is on his way with some medication." " What kind of poison is that?" " It's something you find in pesticides." "Is there anything she could have gotten into?" "Accidentally?" "No." "We're talking about an over-the-counter poison?" "We don't have any conclusive evidence yet." " Sounds to me like you do." " No." "We're still running tests." "In the meantime, it's more important to treat Stella, just in case." "It's just as important to put the person behind bars who did this!" "That's his job." "In the meantime, given the mood of the neighborhood," "Prime Minister has asked that we do not go public until we are 100% certain, and until somebody is under arrest, if somebody is behind this." "You still think this is an accident?" "Mr. Oberman, I don't know!" "If you get the name of that poison, I want it.{\" " Sure}" "And what you told us, that's between us." "No one leaks it to the press." "We agreed to keep this under the radar until we find what we're dealing with." "I redid the Ellman assay." "It still looks like a cholinesterase inhibitor." " But a small amount." " You IDed it?" "Not yet." "Still testing." "How's the girl?" " You talking to David?" " Yeah." "Oh, and here's Mayko." " Hey." " Hey." "So, I called the Department of Defense." "Nothing was stolen." "Now, I did come across something else." "The Nazis were busy making cholinesterase inhibitors for nerve gas." "They never used it." "The US have something called the 3-quinuclidinyl benzilate aka BZ." " Tons of it is stockpiled." " It's Vietnam era." "It's old news." "The Iraqis invented a similar product, and after the US invasion, their stockpiles went missing." "Tons literally just vanished." " Ah, shit!" " David, what are you thinking?" "That an Iraqi weapon of mass destruction ended up here, in Canada, and fell into the hands of a Muslim extremist?" "And was used on a 14-year-old girl." "Okay." "I know I was stretching it." "Listen, you keep on it, all right?" "Anything else comes up, let me know." "I'll be back tonight." "Can I help you with something?" "You're here about Stella?" "Yes." "I'm David." " From a lab in Toronto." " Hi." "You know Stella?" "She poisoned?" "We're leaning that way." "You want to talk about it?" " Is she going to be okay?" " We don't know yet." "What's your name?" "Nasib." "We go to school together." "Things had been a bit rough for her for the last two weeks, since her dad..." " Her dad is a fucking pig." " Yeah." "What are you doing here?" "I..." " I gotta go." " Okay." "Listen..." "If there's anything, okay, anything at all that you want to tell me that could help Stella, you call me, all right?" "Hey, you're all set to go, aren't you?" "I cannot wait to have a nice relaxing night in my own bed." "I bet." "You care to join me?" "I think that could probably be arranged." "Although... we may have to spend a little time getting you packed." "Why, am I going somewhere?" "How does six months in Sweden sound?" "What's in Sweden?" "Wes, they're doing some new trials." "In Sweden?" "Yeah, and it's some pretty heady stuff." "They're using RNAi to stop the Hep C virus." "How?" "To stop the Hep C from replicating, they put in RNA inhibitors that stick to the Hep C RNA like Velcro, and it helps your body wipe out the disease." "Can I get in the trials?" "You're in." " Really?" " Yes." "Six months though?" "Only if you want." "Thank you, Rachel." "Really?" "I'm gonna miss you." "I'm gonna miss you too." "I love you." "No matter what, okay?" "I love you too." "From QuestLogic." "Now that we've helped provide evidence that their smallpox cure works, government's gonna buy millions of units and the stock will go through the roof." "And all we get is this lousy gift basket, eh?" "Maybe not so lousy." " I thought you were only drinking beer." " I am." "I am saving this for Wes, on his return." " I'll get sure he actually gets some." " Fine." "Come in." "Good timing." "Good news?" "Cholinesterase inhibitor in the girl is negligible." "Not enough to make her sick." "I don't know if it's good news or not." "Why did the poison tests show results then?" "The tests are very sensitive now." "The same levels could be in any of us." "Then what the hell is making her sick?" "Is there another poison or are we completely misdiagnosing this?" " Any other tests we can do?" " Let's go right back to symptomology." "We've got sweating, heart palpitations, we've got... anxiety, confusion and then coma, right?" "All right." "Cholinesterase inhibitors cause dryness." " You just said she was sweating." " Her dad did, yeah." "'Cause adrenaline or thyroid can make the heart race and cause sweating." "Adrenal glands were ruled out." "Then it's gotta be the thyroid." "Never got her thyroid test back." " Why not?" " Well, it takes 3 days to get results." "Shit!" "Well, that's gotta be it!" "So, look, we treat her for thyroid overactivity." "What?" "Mr. Oberman." "No, no." "Don't make an announcement yet." "We haven't..." "Say again?" " For fuck's sakes!" " What's wrong?" "... where he will be formally charged." "That kid is innocent." "They're throwing gasoline on a fire." "... apparently attends the same high school as Stella Oberman." "Hi, I need to speak to Detective McGilvray, please." "David Sandström calling." "Oh, he'll know what this is about." "You were supposed to call me before you made an announcement." "There wasn't any poison." "I said that no..." "Look, what I said was "possible poisoning."" "Because a thyroid storm..." "Thank you." "A thyroid storm is consistent with cholinesterase inhibitor poisoning." "Again, look, here it is:" "her thyroid levels are through the roof, and her TSH is suppressed, okay?" "That confirms a thyroid storm." "You can't arrest a kid..." "You can't arrest a kid for poisoning someone when there wasn't any fucking poison in the first place!" "Let the kid go!" "What part of that don't you understand?" "No crime has been committed here!" "Good choice." "Thank you." "What?" "It's Narendra Modi." "I've been trying to call you since you left." "Ah yeah, Doctor." "Sorry, my cell phone died." "They gave me your home phone." "I hope it's all right that I..." "Yeah, that's fine." "What's up?" "The ultrasound confirmed a thyroid nodule." "The storm may have even been triggered by the cholinesterase inhibitor." "We stabilized her medically and rushed her into surgery earlier this evening." " Her own body was poisoning her." " Yeah." "Which means this whole... witch hunt was just a fabrication of one man's prejudice." "What?" "Yeah." "When?" "Okay, thank you." "Shit..." "What is it?" "Marianne Wiley died last night." "Dios mio!" "What was the official cause of death?" "Heart arrhythmia." "Ah, that's terrible!" "QuestLogic was the right choice." "Their drug was the least powerful." "It should have done nothing..." "She was very sick." "It's very possible that the drug had nothing to do with it." "I know, it's just been a shitty week." "Nice to get some good news once in a while." "Yeah." "Anyway, I just thought you should know." "Thank you." "Thanks, Al." "And... good luck on that thing, eh!" "Wes!" "I hear you're off to Sweden." "Great." "Everywhere you look, you can think of me." "Here you go." "You're not quitting." "You're on a six-month leave." "I thought you might want to have this." "It's a little going away present." "It was Caroline's." "It's got the name and numbers of anybody who is anybody in Washington," "London, Paris, Brussels." "And I've..." "I've marked my leads on Roth." "Wait." "Wait." "Wait." "You know my liver's shot, David." "Yeah, I know." "This is for you." "Here you go." "Cheers!" " I thought you stopped drinking, David." " You're not quitting, Wes." " Yes, I am." " You'll be back." "I don't think so." "Why?" "First of all, you're the biggest asshole I've ever met." " Yeah, yeah, yeah." "Besides that." " You're rude." "You criticize everything that I do." "You're pompous and arrogant." "You say all that like it's a bad thing." "Listen to me." "And listen carefully 'cause I'm only gonna say this once." "After the bombing..." "I thought NorBAC was finished." "I really did." "You put it back together, Wes." "You put us back together." "This is where you belong." "In that office behind that desk." "We need you." "I need you." "Who am I gonna find who can clean up my shit better than you?" "Just so you know..." "I really don't want to leave, but I have to." "Okay, I'm gonna do you a favor." " I don't want any favors." " Two favors." "First of all, I'm not gonna let you run out that door so you bury your head in the sand, which is what I think you're gonna do." " It's not what I'm doing." " Two... you owe me a sucker punch." " I owe you more than one." " Fine." "So, I will let you hit me in the face as hard as you want, if you stay." "Okay." "Okay." "Shit..." "I hope you enjoy this as much as I will." " Guess I should close my eyes, eh?" " It might be better that way." "Show me who's the better man, Wes." "I know this is gonna hurt, David." "I'm sorry." "No worries." "Gimme your best shot." "Try not to kill me though." "Over two dozen people with lung infections is not an isolated incident, that is what we call an outbreak." "27 competitors for the Tour Cyclo-Quebec have been admitted to hospital." "Milo, what are you doing here?" "I was wondering if there was still time for that physical." "Get in there." "I'm Bob." "What do you think about hyperbaric chambers?" "The high oxygen levels may improve my memory." "Or make it worse." " Who said it was okay to race?" " This time, the race will not stop." "NorBAC has jurisdiction here." "Not in Quebec." "Nor does Ottawa." "My God!" "Milo!" "No, no." "Wait, wait." "Hold on, hold on!" "You want to help him?" "You help me."
