here you are. let me see what i have here. today at 5. max:are you okay, doctor? uh, what is going on here? oh, nothing at all. please. please, step right intomy office, won't you? [clears throat] have a seat.i have amazing news for you.
there has been an errorin michelle's file. i wanna personally apologizefor that, but... you are perfectly healthy,michelle. you do not need an embryoto have a baby. max: what?- yeah. i'm so sorry. that's right. you can have a normal pregnancy. michelle: unbelievable.max: isn't it great news? - i know.max: this is so great, baby.
what about the embryos?where are they? i don't know. ahem. well, you,you need to know something. listen.the thief sent us over here. all right?to collect his ransom. - so there must be a reason.- right. well, what does it matter nowanyway? you're gonna have a baby.everything's gonna be fine. but, doc, what if we're allstill in danger?
hey, what if the thievescontinue with their threats? hey, we need to knowwho did this. i'm pretty surethere won't be another threat. they won't be bothering thisgorgeous couple anymore. ha, ha. and of course now that michelleis gonna be in this condition, she's gonna need rest,not to worry. it's gonna all be okay. ha, ha. but how you can be so sure? this person is very dangerous.
it's catherin's killer. the robberis not a dangerous man. no. in fact, the robberis a hard-working man. who's worked his whole lifeto, uh, to make ends meet. he'd never do anythinglike that. i'm pretty sure. um, i'm very sure actually. in fact, i'm... i'm positive. ha, ha.
but how do you know all this,doc? how do i know all this? do you know who the robber is? oh, do i know who the robber is? is there somethingyou're not telling us? something i'm not telling you? it's really--it's really not that-- it's really-- uh, it's-- you know, uh, i've been--i was going--
you know, all right, all right-- enough. i took the money. and nobody ever stolethe embryos. they never left the freezerof this clinic. do you know what it's like to work all your life, end upwith nothing to show for it? i'm gonna retire soon. and i have no savingswhatsoever. do you think that's fair?
i dedicated my whole lifeto helping other people. in the end,i'm left with nothing. you? with no money? a renowned surgeon. how's that possible? no money, a renowned surgeon... i gambled away any chance i hadat a decent retirement. i tried to stop.oh, did i try to stop. but i cannot help myself.
dr. brix: yes, yes.oh, yes, there we go. ha, ha. unh! i just can't help myself. i called you right after i heardthe story in the news because i wanted youto believe me. i used this machineto disguise my voice. it worked, didn't it? you didn'tknow it was me, did you? i never meant to hurt anybody. so there is no murdererwho's going after our kids.
that's a relief. i never meant to hurt anybody.i'm truly, truly, truly sorry. but who killed catherin then? and how did the story go public? max: oh, thank god.anthony: are you okay? boss, are you okay? stand down, boys. my god, anthony. sir, what's going on here?
tomas said you were kidnapped. anthony: the police arrestedcatherin's husband for murder. it was on the news. yes, he killed catherin and was apparently caughtwith half a million in cash. cop: just relax.spread your legs apart. spread your legs apart. it's all right, anthony.we're all right. just step out.
whoa. what, what do you wanna dowith your embryos? that guys had a gun. i don't know yet, really.i just-- can i just see them at last? sure, okay.i'll, i'll get the embryos. max: now.- okay. oh, i can't believe it.this is so surreal. i'm sure we'll find outthe whole story in time.
we don't needthe embryos anymore. and it's catherin's,and she's gone. and george was arrested. i know what you mean. but they're mine too. um, uh, wow. they're gone. the embryos,they're gone, for real. - what?- not again. listen, doctor,i will not press charges,
but i need to have them back. mrs. hewitt,i had nothing to do with this. nothing at all, i swear. and you will getyour money back. i swear. really. then i'm calling anthony back inhere with all of his detectives. [easy-listening music playing] okay, jason,that's good right there. anthony found the embryos yet?
nope. nothing. ouch. maybe you should stop looking.it's been a long time. maybe i should. - especially now.- ha, ha. chris: soon-to-be mr. and mrs.hewitt, ladies and gentlemen. man: yeah.- here we go, here we go. woman 1:is it a boy or a girl? reporters:over here.
listen, we'll giving autographsat the end of the line. all right? you folks have been great.thank you. woman 1: we love you, michelle.you're beautiful.
