"No, I'm not really sure I understand what you're saying." " You're not listening." " Yes, I am." "Back door, Bob." "Come on." "Are you saying the soul comes into being at the moment of conception?" " That is God's truth." " We got it, guys." "So is the soul part of our DNA or is it an artifact of sperm meeting egg during sexual union?" "Wes, you've got to get her out of here before the..." "Oh, shit." "Stem cells have souls..." "Souls belong to God!" " Come on!" " Murderers!" "2.05" " Massive Changes" "You didn't answer my question:" "Do you believe in God?" "Bob." "How many times have you asked me that?" "But you never answer." "Do you believe that a deity can hear our prayers?" "Or is it a divine force that created our universe?" "Did that chick spray you with something?" "Well where do we come from?" "A random accident?" "I came from Lydia and Toumas Sandstrom, so yeah, it was a random accident." "Probably the last time they ever had sex together." "Hey, when did we become protest central for stem cell nuts?" "Since the Diabetes Foundation jumped the gun and announced that Jill derived pancreatic beta cells from stem cells." "She was supposed to keep that quiet." "All I know is Caroline's pounding her for using a stem cell line Washington hasn't approved." "Last time I looked this was Canada." "Jill's a U.S. citizen." "We're partly funded by U.S. dollars." " She's bound by their protocols." " That's bullshit." "Caroline!" "Well where do we come from?" "A random accident?" "I came from Lydia and Toumas Sandstrom." "So, yeah, it was a random accident." "Probably the last time they ever had sex together." "Hey, since when did we become protest central..." "Hi Bob, I heard New York was good." "Hi." "Really good." "Not so much." "I bought a present for Glenn." "A Christmas book?" "It's a scratch and sniff." "Smell it." "It smells like pine." "Yeah, it's full of gingerbread, orange and chocolate..." "I thought it would be nice." "I could scratch it for him and then he could smell it." "You know... to stimulate his senses." "That's awfully nice of you, Bob." "Thank you." "Well, you said Christmases were always special for you and Glenn..." " They were, Bob." "Thank you." " Caroline!" " Am I interrupting something?" " No..." "I was just..." " I've got to check my e-mail." " Well don't just run off, Bob," " I've got work for you to do." " I'll be at my desk." "Since when do the bozos in Washington dictate the terms of our stem cell research?" "They're dictating the terms of employment of American-paid researchers, like Jill." "And she can only use one of the fifteen stem cell lines approved by Washington." "That was the agreement she signed." "Okay, we're talking about a potential treatment for juvenile diabetes, okay!" " Tens of thousands of lives!" " Let's just figure a way out of it." "Washington covers 70% of our operating budget." "Maybe it's time to find somebody else to cover our operating budget." " Can you sign here?" " Okay, thanks Wes." "Your conference call is set to start in 10 minutes." "I have to spin this for a bunch of Bible thumping Senators." " It's what you do best." " Yeah, well, you're the head Scientist, so..." " give me some ammunition." " Okay." "Bible thumpers, huh?" "Okay, here it is..." "Our American researcher, Jill Langston, is on the verge of a major breakthrough towards finding a cure to juvenile diabetes." "She's managed to differentiate pancreatic cells using the approved stem cell line." " It's totally kosher." " Okay, what about the South Korean stem cell line?" "Jill never touched it." "Her lab assistant, who is not an American citizen, used the unapproved stem cell line to generate supernatant nutrients that kept Jill's pancreatic cells alive." "And she had nothing to do with generating those nutrients?" "Nothing." "Mostly." " Morning." " Hey." "Just in case anyone asks you only worked with U.S. approved stem cell lines." " That's not entirely true." " It is now." "Who are you?" "Jona." "We haven't met." "I'm David." "I'm in charge." "You generated the supernatants using the South Korean line." "I know, we're a team here." "We all work together." " But this one is all yours, Okay?" " David, what about lab books?" "Oh yeah." "Yeah, make sure your lab books back that up." " You want us to rewrite our lab books?" " No." "No." "No, I just want you to fix any mistakes." "Fuck." "Fuck!" "Fuck!" "David, we are waiting for you in the Conference Room." "Okay, from the New York subway." "Sunshine Davis age 15." "Billy Connett age 41." "St. Mike's hematology ran every test that you asked for David." "There was nothing in their blood to suggest any known disease." "No disorder." "Absolutely no infection." " Virology?" " No viruses." "No bacteria." " Sorry." "Sorry I'm late." " What have you got?" "I ran the symptoms against every neurological database." "Best I could come up with was a Syndrome called Lesch-Nyhan Disease." "Okay, but I don't think it could be Lesch-Nyhan." " I agree." " Why not?" "Well, according to the database, there are similarities of symptoms: spasticity, self-destructive behaviour, biting of the hands and lips" "But Lesch-Nyhan is a childhood disorder." "You're born with renal failure." "Rarely survive into adolescence." " You guys done?" " One more thing." "Girls are asymptomatic carriers." " Only boys get it." " And the disease is purely genetic." "Maybe not." "Sometimes unbearable suffering can only be alleviated by inflicting greater pain through self-injury." "Okay, let's see what we can find in the environmental samples, cross reference to the blood." "We've got water, air, wall scrapings, and one dead rat." "Male." " Me." " Attaboy, Bob." "Carlos, you and I will do standard toxicity tests on the rest." " Gas chromatograph and mass spec." " ASAP." "The North American Biotechnology Commission is once again in a storm of controversy this time over stem cell research." "Last year NorBAC was the site of a shooting..." " Hey." " Hey." "You should take a break." "I'm fine." "Well you look exhausted." "Can I give you a ride home?" "No thanks." " Are you gonna stop soon?" " What?" "Stop working soon." "I can't." "I messed up." "And I told the diabetes people too much too soon." " Yeah." " I haven't finished my due diligence and now I have protesters wanting to shut me down, so..." "Don't worry about any of that." "You'll work it out." "Not by taking a break, or going to sleep." "Or talking to me." "Okay." "I'll see you tomorrow." "I'll see you tomorrow." "In the water we found nitrogen and potassium." "What about you, Carlos?" "In the human blood... yes." "What about the molds you found?" "Wouldn't cause anything but a bad set of allergies." "We also found trace amounts of fecal coliform in the water." " And in the air." " Makes sense down there." "Did you do a full run on the air sample?" "Yeah." "I found high levels of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide." "And also Cymoxanil," "Fungicide and Pymetrozine." " What?" " Herbicides." "All right." "What about your rat?" "Died of old age." "He was about three." "But, we found formaldehyde in his liver." "Okay." "So what is it?" "Is it Nitrogen?" "Potassium?" "Molds?" "Phosphate?" "Fecal coliform?" "Herbicide?" "Fungicides?" "Formaldehyde?" "None of the above?" "All of the above?" "Lesch-Nyhan disease." "What is killing these people?" "What is going on down in that subway?" "History of Hwang Shin Yong's stem cell lab at the National" "University in Seoul." "Background on the line you've been using." "South Korean certification," " all the publications." " Can you get it to me on a disc?" "Amazing." "It'd be great if I could get a list of all of the research teams worldwide that are using the Korean stem cell line." "I can do that for you." "Really?" "I mean that's not exactly your job." "My job is to do whatever Caroline tells me and right now she's telling me that this stem cell mess could bury us." "Okay." "Thanks for your support." "All right, where do you find nitrogen?" " Foods, fertilizers, explosives." " Potassium?" " Food." "Plant growth." "Mining?" " Molds." "Well, there's phosphates in detergents." "And in fertilizers." "Nitrogen, potassium and phosphates." "The three components of fertilizers!" "You might have something there." "Farmers use formaldehyde to sterilize the soil." "It kills weeds, insect eggs - molds, fungi." "That doesn't make sense." "Why would there be a farm in the subway?" "Why would someone want to grow something in a subway?" "Because you wouldn't want anyone to know what you were growing." "Marijuana." "Psilocybin Mushrooms." "Opium..." "They got a grow up down there." "Okay, so let's go with that for now." "We still don't know what's making people sick." " What's the only thing we haven't checked?" " What's that?" "What they're growing." "Owen, I can't believe it." "You actually answered your phone." "David Sandstrom calling." "You went dark on me there for a while." "How you doing?" "I'm okay." "Two more people are sick, though." "Biting their fingers, and..." " shaking a lot." " What are you growing down there?" "How close would I be if I guessed marijuana?" "The silence of "You guessed right."" "Listen Owen." "We think it's the weed that's making people sick." "Sunshine never smoked chronic." "Really?" "Sunshine never smoked it." "Hang on, Owen." "We're thinking." "Esters." " What?" " All plants give off esters." "You know the aroma in flowers, I use them in my perfumes." "You think esters can trigger something specific" " in certain people." " It's possible." "It's all we've got." "Owen, we think it's in the air." "Now listen." "I got a friend, he's got a lab at Columbia," " I want you to bring him some leaves." " That's pretty far, man." "You want to pay for my cab?" "You live in the subway, Owen, it's free." "Here's a list of the labs using your South Korean stem cell line for disease related gene therapy." "There's lots of work on cancer." "There's only a few publications so far." "Most of the research is still in the pipeline." "Okay, Wes, Tell me the truth." "How much time do I have to finish my work?" "The clock's ticking." "David darling, I know you're very busy, but can you please call me when you have a minute." "It's about your father." "Beautiful day in Vancouver." "Love you." "What?" "Hey David, it'sYasminSharif from the Singapore Symposium, remember?" " Hey Yaz!" " You remember?" " Yeah, I remember." "How are you?" " I gave a talk in Paris." "Now I'm over-nighting on my way to the Salk." "Are you free for dinner?" "You know, I was just thinking:" "what am I gonna eat for dinner?" "Glenn, I brought you a present." "Christmas Wishes." "It's a scratch and sniff book." "Christmas tree." "Hum." "Yeah." "Glenn, I have this theory:" "I needed if you exercise your muscles with your mind, it maybe work in the opposite direction and your muscles will make your mind stronger." "So, we're going to go for a jog in Central Park." "Ready?" "Okay." "It's a beautiful winter morning, Glenn." "We're jogging down a path through a snowy cedar forest." "You look up through the boughs, it's like a fragrant white veil." "Hey, look at that, a beautiful woman," "I think she smiled at you, Glenn." "We're heading up hill now, and just when we're about to get to the top we can almost see the Waldorf Plaza." "It's snowing really lightly, and the wind's really hitting your face." "Oh, no, no, no." "Shit!" "Damn it!" "You okay?" "Reverse transcriptase DNA sequences?" "What does that mean?" "It looks like these stem cells are contaminated with a retrovirus." "How'd that happen?" "I don't know." "The line has been checked and re-checked for viruses and retro-viruses by labs all over the world." "You're exhausted, Jill." "Go home." "Jona." "Uh..." "I want you to remake and sterilize all the buffers and then I'm going to thaw a fresh batch of cells." " Jill go home." " Wes please." "Go away." "You're amazing." "And here all this time I thought you were a mere brilliant scientist." "You finished it." " Yeah, totally." "It reads like the wind." " Get out." "I'm serious, Yaz." "It's really really good." "A memoir." "Where did this come from?" "I've always wanted to write." "My parents were getting old." "Just seemed like the right time to record their stories before they got lost." "I could never do this." "Why?" "Well it'd be five pages long, to start with." "My mother was an orphan, so they're silence on that side of the family." "My dad is Swedish." "That's major silence." "I was an only child." "Everybody else's family always seemed like a big... brass band." " Hmm." " What?" "I dunno..." " I rush things." " No, No." "It's not you." "Let's take it nice and slow." "Okay." "Excuse me." "Hey." "I think the South Korean stem cell line is producing a retrovirus." "What?" "No... that line has been in circulation for 18 months." "There's teams all over the world using it." "They would have seen that by now." " Just redo it." " He did." " Do it again." " He did, and I did, and I will." " But I'm crashing." " Okay, okay." "That's all right, do it again tomorrow." "And right now go home and crash." " I can't." " You want a sleeping pill?" "No." "I can't go home." "Why?" "My apartment's been flooded." "My landlords live upstairs and their toilet flooded into my bedroom." "All my clothes are all trashed." "And they're claiming that their insurance isn't cooperating, they want me to stay in a motel!" "Stay here." " Really?" " Yeah, of course." "Why not?" " I just..." "I'm not..." " Hey." "Hey." "You need a place to stay, I got plenty of room." "Come in, you can sleep in Lilith's room." "Thank you." "Oh." "Hey." "Hey." " Oh, oh, Christ, I'm sorry." " What?" " I have an early flight, David." " No." "Okay, now wait a minute." "You know what I should actually probably just get back to the lab." " Thanks for the read, I really appreciate it." " Okay, now You're both talking at the same..." " ... see you tomorrow." "It was nice to meet you." " Bye." "Bye." "Uh..." "Bye." " Who was that?" " That was a friend." "Just a friend." "Come in." "Lilith's bed is in Lilith's room." "Which is right over there." "Go." "Thank you." " Jill, you still here?" " Yeah, I'm just leaving." "Yeah!" "Guess we should talk about New York, eh?" "I mean..." "Did it seem different to you?" "I mean, this time..." "You know, like, between you and me?" "Jill?" "Your friend at Columbia had his lab up all night sequencing the marijuana DNA." " I got some thoughts." " Okay, Just give me a second." "You sort out the retrovirus scare?" "It's not a scare." "We redid the test with a new batch." "Got the same result." "My South Korean supernatant is laced with reverse transcriptase." "You checked your equipment for contaminates?" "Yes, three times." "I want you to send some frozen stem cells over to Jim Prall's lab." " See what he comes up with." " You think I missed something?" "No, I think this is too important not to get a second opinion." "Yes?" "Yeah." "Okay." "So this is the gene sequence of some of the marijuana sample." "Now, we found biosynthetic genes inserted into the genome." " See, right there." " It's been engineered?" "Yeah." "In fact, it looks like this strain's been developed to enhance the THC content of medicinal marijuana." "Where did you get these?" "Courtesy of the Vancouver Hydroponic Growers Association." "The Hydroponic Growers Association ?" "Marijuana is Canada's fourth biggest cash crop." " Really?" " Believe it." " Wheat, canola, corn" " Marijuana." "Okay." "Where's the stuff from the subway come from?" "Originally?" "A bio-genetics lab in Melbourne." "Look at this." "The extra THC producing genes they've popped up in at least 15 places in the genome." " An incredibly modified strain." " You get Franken-dope." "So Lesch-Nyhan is characterized by abnormal functioning of neurotransmitters, but this can't be Lesch-Nyhan because that's... a genetic disorder." "But... we need to find out if the compounds in this modified plant can cause Lesch-Nyhan-like symptoms?" "Because maybe you can be genetically predisposed for total reefer madness." "David." "We're pretty sure it's the weed." "Dude, I can't get rid of it, it's not mine." "Well look, just move your people out of the subway then until we do more tests, okay?" "Dude, subway is where we live." "Then move them to a different line, Owen." "I hear the IRT is lovely this time of year." "It's the people or the pot, Owen." "This close to a breakthrough for diabetes research." "There are thousands of retroviruses in human DNA, fragments of stuff that goes back to when we crawled out of the primordial muck." "99% of it is dormant and harmless." "Then why is this retrovirus such a big deal?" "Because we found reverse transcriptase activity." "The retrovirus isn't dormant anymore." "It woke up." "It's replicating itself." "The virus is active." "Okay, what kind of virus are we talking about?" "Don't know." "Could give you the sniffles, could be the next AIDS." "Research teams all over the world have been using this stem cell line." "I mean, if it's corrupted then cures for all kinds of diseases could be pushed years down the track." "Then pull the stem cell line." "No." "You can't tell a researcher in Europe to throw away 10 years of her work on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation." "She's going to want to know why and as a scientist I'm going to want to give her that answer." "Not some song and dance to cover my ass." "We need to figure out what's going on here before we let this out." "Okay." "I got it." " Jill, as soon as you find anything out, let me know." " Of course." "My mom." "She never calls me on my cell." "Hey." "Oh, hi Dad." "Hang on a second." "We done here?" "Yeah." "Ah." "What's up?" "Things are not so good, David." "I've been looking for your phone number all day." "Mum's got it written on the fridge, Dad." " She's not here anymore, David." " What do you mean?" "Your mother she died yesterday." " David, you got a sec?" " Yeah." "Okay, so we're thinking that chemical signals from the hybrid marijuana plants produces an ester that disables the HPRT enzyme." "The trigger could easily be chemical." "It's not genetic." "But the result is the same..." "Without the HPRT enzyme doing its job, poisons build up in the system and you develop the disease." "You get Lesch-Nyhan syndrome." "Wow..." "Well, that's it then." "I'll call Owen and let him know." "David, are you OK?" "Yeah." "I'm going to have to go to Vancouver for a few days." "But uh..." "What is it, David?" "Ah, it's..." "Family matter." "Who died?" "My mom." "Lydia." "I'm sorry, David." "Are you okay?" "Look, don't tell anybody, okay?" "Just, uh..." "You can tell Mayko." "I mean, she'd want to know." "She met Lydia." "Don't tell Caroline." "Fuck, you know what, you should probably tell Caroline." "Otherwise she'll think I fucked off to China again." "You can tell Jill, I guess." "I've got to go." "I've got to go." " Have a safe trip." " Thanks." " Call if you need anything." " Yeah." " Did you hear about this thing in Florida?" " No." "There's some kind of superbacterium attacking citrus crops." " Put Bob on it." " Bob's not going to go to Florida by himself." "Then you go, Wes." "Hey Lil." "It's me." "How are you?" "Where are you, I should say." "I'm sorry to leave a message like this on your cell phone but I've got to catch a plane in a few hours, so I..." "Well, I just..." "I thought you should know that your grandma passed away." "yesterday." "Sorry pal." "Don't be sad, David, darling." "Everything that lives must die." "Pants isn't even two, mum." "It was her time to go." "No!" "Shush." "I've read the books, mum!" "Guinea pigs live four to six years." "Pants died because dad put her cage on the porch." "Your father has allergies sweatie." "I want a dog but I can't have a dog so I get a guinea pig and he puts her out and the temperature goes down..." "David, David, David..." "She died of pneumonia, mum." "She had all the symptoms from the book;" "rapid breathing, runny eyes, lethargy" "David." "She got cold, it weakened her, then she got a bacterial infection." "It's not fair." "I know." "Where will I bury her?" "Well, we could bury her in the rose garden." "I loved her." "Everything dies, David." "It's nature's way." "It's Dad's way." "It's okay to be sad." "Have a good cry." "I don't want to cry." "Gimme the bad news, Caroline." "I did some digging after we spoke." "Our American researcher was using an unapproved stem cell line to generate nutrients for her pancreatic clones." "How did that happen?" "The American researcher did her background checks on the South Korean stem cells and she found an active retrovirus." "Thing is, labs all over the world are using this stem cell line." "We will eventually have to report our findings." "You're going to tell the world that a U.S. Scientist was working on an unapproved stem cell line?" "Unless we go on the offensive, not the defense." "What?" "!" "NorBAC finds contaminants in an unapproved stem cell line." "South Korean suppliers look bad and, by inference, so do all the countries who sell outside Washington's approval system!" "What's not to like?" " You are good." " I know." "Well..." "Thank you." "Identify those contaminants." "Put them out there." "I'll handle the rest." "I'm on it." "I will." "Thank you." "Hey, Dad." "Hey, Dad." "David," "It's good you could come." "I couldn't find your phone number." "Yeah." "How are you doing?" "Want a beer?" "So what happened, Dad?" "I don't know." "I was in there painting." "She said she was going come in here and make my sandwich." "An hour goes by." "I knew something was wrong." "It doesn't take an hour to make a sandwich." "So I come in here and... there she is lying on the floor right there." " What did Dr. Mitchell say?" " He said she was dead." "She was younger than me, don't forget." "I'm the one with the health problems, not her." "She worried too much." "That's what killed her." "She worried about you all her life." "That's why." " What did you say?" " Nothing." "Look, are the funeral arrangements in hand?" " I left that all to them." " Who?" "The funeral parlor." "No, Dad, they can't do it all." "We've have to choose the music, we have to figure out the order of the service, who's going to say what." " That sort of stuff." " I'm too tired." "Alright." "What's the name of the funeral parlor?" "I'll do it." "The minister's name is written down by the telephone in the bedroom." "Alright." "Your mother didn't live as a Lutheran but it looks like she's going to die as one." "McGuinn's coming up to brief us." "All I know is," "Washington is on the verge of mounting some kind of strike on Cuban biological labs." "Just because of some infested orange groves in Florida?" "I don't know." "I don't know." "We'll know better in a couple of days." "But I have a feeling this is going to be a priority case." "Hey, Carlos." "Could I have a private word with Caroline?" "Yeah, sure." "Hey, Bob." "What's up?" "I think exercise might be the answer for Glenn." "What do you mean?" "I've been taking him on runs." "Runs?" "Well, imaginary runs." "Se, I think the mental exercise may stimulate the neural pathways to his muscles." "And because he's following along in his head, if I tell him we're about to jump a fence he'll tell his muscles to jump the fence and bit by bit by bit he'll get back in shape." "When I talk to Glenn..." "I can feel him listening." "His brain is intact, Caroline." "Some of the pieces are disconnected." "I think we can try... to reconnect them." "Let me try." "OK." "Thank you, Caroline." "Thank you!" "My mother didn't really have a life of her own." "She sort of lived for and through other people." "You know?" "My father, me, my daughter." "She was incredibly bright." "She read widely." "She wrote beautifully." "She had enormous empathy for people of all shapes and sizes." "She could sing like a bird." "I wish I knew her, she sounds like a wonderful woman." "Well, she spent her life making sandwiches for a man who resented her." "I gave this to her for Christmas last year." "It's full of the music that she loved." "I noted a couple of selections for the service." "Oh, and this goes with her in the... in the coffin, casket, you know..." "W.H. Auden, it's her favourite poet." " And the service?" " Oh, nothing fancy." "Do you want to say a few words?" "I'm making grilled cheese, you want one?" " What?" " Do you want a sandwich?" "Why would I want a sandwich?" "Right." "Stupid question." "What is this?" "Grilled cheese." "You know, Dad, you're going to want to get a housekeeper." " What for?" " Because you can't live like this." "Well, don't look at me." "This is all your mother's business." "You blame mom for the mess?" "I go on and on." "Do this, do that." "She pays no attention, so finally I shut up about it." "So be it." "Have it your way." "And we live like this." "Don't think this is the way I like it." "You know, maybe it's time you let her off the hook, hey." "Why should I?" "Because she's dead, Dad." "I thought you didn't want a sandwich." "You made it for me, why not?" "I don't like people watching me while I eat." "That's what the television is for." "Go watch television." "I want to play a little game with you, Dad." "I hate games." "I'm going to say five words." "And after I count to five I want you to say them back to me, okay?" "Poodle, knife, ball, steamboat, refrigerator." "One, two, three, four, five." "Go." "Caniche, couteau, bateau à vapeur, balle, réfrigérateur." "Fuck you." "Why are you always so angry?" "Pudel, kniv, bat, bal, kyl skap." "How's your Swedish?" "You never taught me a word." "Only thing I remember about my childhood is everybody creeping around because you were always in a bad mood." " I never get angry." " No?" "Well I do." "I got your temper." "It's the only thing you ever gave me." "And I hate it." "You should see someone." "I've got to lie down." "There's no time." "Go get dressed." " What?" " There's a car coming for us at eleven." "What car?" "We are burying Mom today, Dad." "Well, I don't want to go." "Well, you don't have a choice in the matter." "Go get dressed." "You understand nothing." "What's this?" "Calla lilies." "Thank you." "She liked calla lilies." "Here's a story about my mom." "One time, I was about seven years old, I..." "I came home from school, all the lights in the house were out, which was strange because" "I was just learning how to walk home from school by myself and the deal was that my mom was supposed to always be waiting for me in the kitchen." "But the house was dark and... so I started to panic." "And I started calling out her name." "Not mom, like her name." "Like, "Lydia!" "Lydia!"" "And I started running from room to room looking for her." "I went into the bedroom and the bed wasn't made up." "I ran into the kitchen and the lunch dishes were still on the table." "I just kept calling out to her." ""Lydia!" "Where are you?"" "But, just silent, except for the sound of my heart beating." "And then finally, I ran out into the back yard and... there she was." "And I know now it was probably just the afternoon sunlight, but... she looked like she was glowing." "She looked like..." "Well, I guess what you figure an angel... looks like." "I ran up to her, tears streaming down my face" "and I threw my arms around her and I locked on to her for dear life." "She laughed at me and held me tight and said:" ""David, what on earth is the matter with you?"" "And I said..." "And I said: "Promise me you will never die."" "And she did." "Mom..." "I will miss you every day for the rest of my life." "Come on, Dad." "I'll make you some dinner." "That's your mother's job." "She doesn't like anybody else in the kitchen." "Sure you don't want any soup?" "No." "Me neither." "You know, I never understood why my mother stayed with my father." "She never told me." "And I don't think he ever be able to." "Oh, I called an assited care service." "And what do I need that for?" "Just someone to have around the house and make things easier for you." "I have a friend who is in a persistent vegetative state." "He's 18 now." "Had a stroke while he was running." "Now, I would bet my last pound that some of those people can hear and understand." "See, that's what I think." "I think he's closer to the surface than we thought." "Do you really believe Glenn could wake up?" "One step at a time." "Salvador Charringa has over 10,000 acres of citrus groves outside Miami." "The same Salvador Charringa who openly admits he helped finance the Bay of Pigs." "This is what fifteen hundred of those acres looked like as of last week." "What are we talking about?" "Agricultural terrorism?" "According to some experts, Florida could be on the verge of a plague of biblical proportions." "We'd like to know if it's God's will or Fidel's?" "I ask Weston if I could give a field agent a mission this week, and he said it will be alright." "If you aren't already online, take the NorBAC tour and I'll give you all the details." "Remember, only you know the whole story." "Transcript:" "Raceman" "Subtitles:" "kubilai, Lama, Teuteu42"
