The real money comes from research applications. 187 00:11:09,566 --> 00:11:12,333 You can't imagine the millions my work can generate. 188 00:11:12,406 --> 00:11:14,603 Can we get back to Anna Hopkins, Dr. Blanchard? 189 00:11:16,113 --> 00:11:19,608 - She was good at what she did. - Which was? 190 00:11:19,686 --> 00:11:21,714 Doing what I told her. 191 00:11:21,792 --> 00:11:25,060 And did you tell her to drive around town with a vial of SARS in her trunk? 192 00:11:25,131 --> 00:11:27,192 What? Not a chance. We have people for that. 193 00:11:27,269 --> 00:11:30,469 We have medical couriers who transport viral cultures. 194 00:11:30,543 --> 00:11:34,004 But you do have the SARS virus on the premises? We had it. 195 00:11:34,082 --> 00:11:37,213 We acquired a small culture a few months ago for antiviral research. 196 00:11:37,289 --> 00:11:41,993 - What'd you do, go around the corner to Woolworths? - China, actually. 197 00:11:42,065 --> 00:11:45,003 You know what it must be? We often share viral cultures with other labs. 198 00:11:45,071 --> 00:11:47,338 Anna must have been servicing a request. 199 00:11:47,410 --> 00:11:50,177 And you'd have paperwork for that? Yes. Well, of course. 200 00:11:50,249 --> 00:11:53,415 The health department requires meticulous reports in triplicate. 201 00:11:53,489 --> 00:11:56,120 I'll check with the folks in administration. 202 00:11:56,194 --> 00:11:59,132 We already did. But nice try anyway, Doc. 203 00:12:03,108 --> 00:12:05,237 What are you implying? 204 00:12:05,312 --> 00:12:08,774 That like all good businesses, you're covering your ass. 205 00:12:12,861 --> 00:12:17,860 We do a detailed background check of every employee before we hire them. 206 00:12:19,007 --> 00:12:22,070 I interviewed Anna personally. 207 00:12:22,147 --> 00:12:24,083 I don't usually make mistakes like this. 208 00:12:24,151 --> 00:12:26,314 Like what? 209 00:12:28,226 --> 00:12:30,719 Anna's maiden name was Ozeri. 210 00:12:30,797 --> 00:12:33,861 She was born in Saudi Arabia. 211 00:12:40,751 --> 00:12:45,192 Oh, I get it. By, uh, suspicious, you mean Arab. 212 00:12:45,260 --> 00:12:47,925 Her father is Saudi... so she must be a terrorist? 213 00:12:47,999 --> 00:12:53,739 Your wife was driving around the city with an unauthorized vial of SARS, Mr. Hopkins. 214 00:12:53,811 --> 00:12:55,940 Times being what they are, we have to wonder why. 215 00:12:56,015 --> 00:12:59,420 She's dead. Does it make any difference now? 216 00:12:59,489 --> 00:13:01,425 If she had friends, it does. 217 00:13:01,493 --> 00:13:05,593 Oh, because those people never work alone. 218 00:13:05,668 --> 00:13:07,604 Her father passed away last August. 219 00:13:07,672 --> 00:13:10,143 We went to Riyadh for the funeral. 220 00:13:10,211 --> 00:13:12,704 She spent some time with her brothers. 221 00:13:12,782 --> 00:13:15,219 Was there anything different about her when you returned to the States? 222 00:13:15,287 --> 00:13:19,820 Of course she was different. Her father hadjust died. 223 00:13:19,897 --> 00:13:22,390 And her mother had passed away six months earlier. 224 00:13:22,468 --> 00:13:25,566 You know, you would have liked her mother. She was British. 225 00:13:25,642 --> 00:13:28,978 Look, Mr. Hopkins, if you know anything about this, you need to tell us now. 226 00:13:29,049 --> 00:13:32,078 Let me check her Palm Pilot, 'cause I think she's got Usay's home phone number. 227 00:13:32,155 --> 00:13:35,492 Hey, stop it! We have an outbreak of SARS. 228 00:13:41,340 --> 00:13:45,440 St. Mark's Hospital. You know what, Mr. Hopkins? 229 00:13:45,515 --> 00:13:48,886 Maybe we will check your wife's Palm Pilot. 230 00:13:53,031 --> 00:13:55,126 Right now there are only 12 sick people. 231 00:13:55,202 --> 00:13:58,140 But that could be just the tip of the iceberg, right? What happens now? 232 00:13:58,208 --> 00:14:01,579 The health department has directed all symptomatic patients be isolated here... 233 00:14:01,648 --> 00:14:03,584 while we try to locate Patient Zero. 234 00:14:03,652 --> 00:14:05,588 And what if it's not one of the 12? 235 00:14:05,656 --> 00:14:07,592 Patient Zero goes to the market, coughs on the produce. 236 00:14:07,660 --> 00:14:10,096 Then he heads on the Number One train downtown to the office. 237 00:14:10,165 --> 00:14:14,162 I get the point. C.D.C. Is conducting an epidemiological investigation. 238 00:14:14,241 --> 00:14:17,611 Until that's completed, we won't know how potent this particular strand of virus is. 239 00:14:17,680 --> 00:14:20,379 Is coughing the only way it can be spread? 240 00:14:20,453 --> 00:14:22,946 Typically, the virus is transmitted through the respiratory system. 241 00:14:23,025 --> 00:14:26,828 But the C.D.C. Recently banned blood donors who traveled to SARS-infected regions. 242 00:14:26,900 --> 00:14:30,270 We're gonna need a list of all the isolated patients. 243 00:14:32,845 --> 00:14:35,315 Lab report on Anna Hopkins came back from the M.E. 244 00:14:35,383 --> 00:14:38,150 Her blood tested negative for the virus, so she wasn't a carrier. 245 00:14:38,222 --> 00:14:41,889 As far as we can tell, none of the SARS patients is connected to Hopkins... 246 00:14:41,963 --> 00:14:44,730 or to anyone Hopkins even knew. That's hardly a shock. 247 00:14:44,802 --> 00:14:48,263 If this is bioterrorism, there's probably no obvious connection. 248 00:14:48,343 --> 00:14:52,716 Well, hold on. Anna Hopkins isn't on any F.B.I. Or Homeland Security lists. 249 00:14:52,785 --> 00:14:54,880 Oh, I'm gonna sleep easy now. Detective Briscoe. 250 00:14:54,956 --> 00:14:57,359 A friend of Anna Hopkins on line two. Says it's important. 251 00:14:57,428 --> 00:14:59,364 Thanks. 252 00:14:59,432 --> 00:15:02,165 Detective Briscoe. 253 00:15:02,238 --> 00:15:06,144 She knew it was wrong, but she didn't know what to do. 254 00:15:06,212 --> 00:15:08,648 Driving around with SARS? 255 00:15:08,717 --> 00:15:11,154 He made her do it, that bastard. 256 00:15:11,222 --> 00:15:13,249 What bastard are we talking about? 257 00:15:13,326 --> 00:15:15,889 Dr. Ego, that's who. Her boss. 258 00:15:15,965 --> 00:15:19,803 Blanchard. He told us they had special couriers for that. 259 00:15:19,873 --> 00:15:22,436 Look. I'm just telling you what Anna told me. 260 00:15:22,512 --> 00:15:24,448 Did she tell you why she took the chance? 261 00:15:24,516 --> 00:15:26,782 Because he told her to, that's why. 262 00:15:26,854 --> 00:15:29,917 I said he was crossing the line by making her pick up his lunch, but this... 263 00:15:29,993 --> 00:15:32,396 I mean, she could have really gotten sick. 264 00:15:32,465 --> 00:15:35,027 What was she supposed to do with it? Get rid of it. 265 00:15:35,104 --> 00:15:37,404 Where? I don't know. 266 00:15:37,475 --> 00:15:41,245 Did those people get sick from the stuff in Anna's car? 267 00:15:41,317 --> 00:15:44,187 We're not sure yet. Could have all just been a coincidence. 268 00:15:44,256 --> 00:15:47,524 Yeah? All right. We're on our way. 269 00:15:47,595 --> 00:15:50,796 Well, maybe Patient Zero can shed some light. 270 00:15:50,869 --> 00:15:52,805 Thank you. 271 00:15:52,873 --> 00:15:56,437 I would have bet my degree that the origin of this particular outbreak wasn't Canada. 272 00:15:56,514 --> 00:15:58,449 Why is that? Short course? 273 00:15:58,518 --> 00:16:00,886 There are two strains of SARS virus. 274 00:16:00,956 --> 00:16:04,019 The Singapore type, which caused all the problems for our friends up north. 275 00:16:04,096 --> 00:16:06,329 Let me guess, the other one is from China. 276 00:16:06,401 --> 00:16:09,498 Oh, I see you're current with the medical journals. 277 00:16:09,574 --> 00:16:12,978 No, we have a friend who imported a whole batch for antiviral research. 278 00:16:13,047 --> 00:16:14,983 Patient Zero, Doctor. 279 00:16:15,052 --> 00:16:17,022 Patient Zero? 280 00:16:17,089 --> 00:16:19,252 Ajournalist named Jeannine Wilson, 281 00:16:19,327 --> 00:16:22,629 who recently returned from a medical symposium in Toronto. 282 00:16:22,700 --> 00:16:24,796 By the time she presented with respiratory symptoms, 283 00:16:24,872 --> 00:16:27,206 she transmitted the virus to everyone you see here... 284 00:16:27,276 --> 00:16:29,907 including her four-year-old son, Tanner, 285 00:16:29,982 --> 00:16:32,179 who isn't progressing as well as we'd like. 286 00:16:32,253 --> 00:16:34,520 Poor kid.

Your cops did. 362 00:20:45,132 --> 00:20:47,796 When all else fails, blame the Arabs. 363 00:20:47,870 --> 00:20:52,973 Draft a motion to exclude any mention of Anna Hopkins's background. 364 00:20:57,724 --> 00:21:01,026 It's well settled that the defense is entitled to offer any evidence... 365 00:21:01,097 --> 00:21:03,465 that might tend to exculpate the defendant. 366 00:21:03,536 --> 00:21:05,597 Not if it's totally irrelevant. 367 00:21:05,673 --> 00:21:09,841 Really? Tell that to Tom Ridge. Tell it to Tom Brokaw. 368 00:21:09,915 --> 00:21:12,910 And if your set's been on the fritz for the last two years, 369 00:21:12,988 --> 00:21:16,450 he's been opening every newscast with an item on the war against terrorism. 370 00:21:16,528 --> 00:21:21,061 Your Honor, this case has nothing to do with terrorism. How can you be so sure? 371 00:21:21,138 --> 00:21:26,581 Every day, we're told to be wary ofbiochemical attacks by Arab terrorists. 372 00:21:26,649 --> 00:21:29,485 Twelve people were infected with a virus. 373 00:21:29,554 --> 00:21:32,789 The source of which was a vial found in the trunk of a car... 374 00:21:32,862 --> 00:21:35,424 owned by a woman born in Saudi Arabia. 375 00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:39,133 Mrs. Hopkins had no connection with any terrorist group. 376 00:21:39,207 --> 00:21:42,043 She didn't socialize with Arabs or even worship in a mosque. 377 00:21:42,113 --> 00:21:46,612 Point is, there is no evidence whatsoever indicating this was politically motivated. 378 00:21:46,690 --> 00:21:49,126 Allowing the defense to even suggest as much... 379 00:21:49,194 --> 00:21:51,927 will do nothing but inflame and mislead the jury. 380 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,902 It's called reasonable doubt. 381 00:21:53,970 --> 00:21:56,305 No, Ms. Swan, it's called a racial crock. 382 00:21:56,376 --> 00:21:58,778 Now if you can't come up with anything other than name-calling, 383 00:21:58,847 --> 00:22:01,751 you can't offer it as evidence in my courtroom. 384 00:22:03,690 --> 00:22:07,289 I gotta tell you. If I were in Swan's shoes, I would have played the same card. 385 00:22:07,364 --> 00:22:09,300 Anything to win a case? 386 00:22:09,368 --> 00:22:12,272 It's not like terrorists wear an I.D. Card around their necks. 387 00:22:12,341 --> 00:22:15,142 Who knows what this woman was up to? I do. 388 00:22:15,214 --> 00:22:19,450 She was dumping the weapon her boss used to try to killJeannine Wilson. 389 00:22:19,523 --> 00:22:23,486 And if that boss was a Dr. Charles Blanchard, I don't know as I'd believe you. 390 00:22:23,564 --> 00:22:26,126 You know him? Saw him on Larry King. 391 00:22:26,202 --> 00:22:28,833 The pompous son of a gun said he's prepared to rid the world of all that ails it. 392 00:22:28,908 --> 00:22:32,973 He also managed to trigger the first SARS epidemic in New York. 393 00:22:33,049 --> 00:22:36,784 Be warned. A lot of very important people think an awful lot of this guy. 394 00:22:36,857 --> 00:22:39,124 Including his wife. Swan says that she's prepared to testify... 395 00:22:39,196 --> 00:22:43,068 that Blanchard was at home with her on the nightJeannine Wilson claims that he injected her. 396 00:22:43,137 --> 00:22:47,475 Talk to the missus. See just how prepared she is. 397 00:22:47,546 --> 00:22:49,949 Better you sit this one out, Jack. 398 00:22:50,018 --> 00:22:54,322 I'm thinking this might be better handled woman-to-woman. 399 00:22:59,403 --> 00:23:02,034 Life with a man of genius isn't always easy. 400 00:23:02,108 --> 00:23:04,078 I'm the first to admit that. 401 00:23:04,146 --> 00:23:07,847 But over the years, we've built a good life together. A happy life. 402 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:11,416 I know this is difficult, Mrs. Blanchard, but... 403 00:23:11,494 --> 00:23:14,933 where does someone likeJeannine Wilson fit into the picture? 404 00:23:15,001 --> 00:23:17,438 Oh, believe me... I know from experience. 405 00:23:17,506 --> 00:23:19,943 A high I.Q. Is an aphrodisiac. 406 00:23:20,012 --> 00:23:22,812 I know the mere presence his effect has on women. 407 00:23:22,885 --> 00:23:26,051 I've certainly learned not to be jealous. 408 00:23:26,124 --> 00:23:28,560 But he always came home to you. 409 00:23:28,629 --> 00:23:30,998 I should be insulted by that. 410 00:23:32,069 --> 00:23:35,235 I'm sorry. The fact is... 411 00:23:35,309 --> 00:23:37,245 he never goes home with anyone but me. 412 00:23:37,313 --> 00:23:40,548 This whole story about some sordid affair is nonsense. 413 00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:43,956 So you think Jeannine Wilson is lying. Of course she is. 414 00:23:44,027 --> 00:23:47,797 No offense, Mrs. Blanchard, but how can you be so sure? 415 00:23:49,238 --> 00:23:51,470 Because Charles told me. 416 00:23:51,542 --> 00:23:54,012 I would certainly take his word over that of some hussy... 417 00:23:54,081 --> 00:23:58,146 who's deluded herself into thinking that Charles has even noticed her. 418 00:23:58,222 --> 00:24:01,661 On the night in question, we had dinner at home... 419 00:24:01,729 --> 00:24:04,030 and went to bed early. 420 00:24:06,038 --> 00:24:08,942 She's either a great liar or the queen of denial. 421 00:24:09,011 --> 00:24:11,277 A masochist or a saint. Or telling the truth. 422 00:24:11,349 --> 00:24:13,752 Whatever it is, I think a jury might find her credible. 423 00:24:13,821 --> 00:24:17,921 And you? I hate to admit it, but I might even believe her. 424 00:24:17,996 --> 00:24:20,296 Which means Jeannine Wilson is lying. 425 00:24:20,368 --> 00:24:23,032 Or that Anna Hopkins was more culpable than we thought. 426 00:24:23,106 --> 00:24:26,910 Elaine Blanchard told me that women fall all over themselves for her husband. 427 00:24:26,980 --> 00:24:29,781 I can understand the RICO statute, but a woman fall... 428 00:24:29,853 --> 00:24:32,757 That's what makes life interesting. 429 00:24:32,825 --> 00:24:36,424 So suppose Anna Hopkins had an unrequited thing for Blanchard. 430 00:24:36,500 --> 00:24:39,666 And suppose she thoughtJeannine was the reason it was unrequited. 431 00:24:39,739 --> 00:24:43,076 Hell hath no fury like an unrequited lab tech. 432 00:24:43,147 --> 00:24:46,381 See what the gossip is around the watercooler. 433 00:24:46,453 --> 00:24:50,861 Are you kidding? The only one around here in love with Charles Blanchard is Charles Blanchard. 434 00:24:50,929 --> 00:24:53,331 So there was nothing personal between he and Anna Hopkins? 435 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,167 Oh, sure there was. He made her nauseous. 436 00:24:56,239 --> 00:24:59,542 That's odd, because his wife seems to think women are crazy for him. 437 00:24:59,613 --> 00:25:02,346 Oh, well, he's okay until you spend some time with him. 438 00:25:02,419 --> 00:25:06,257 The man may not always be right, but he is never wrong, if you know what I mean. 439 00:25:06,327 --> 00:25:10,062 He's the feudal lord, and we're all his serfs, plowing his fields. 440 00:25:10,135 --> 00:25:14,633 Let me ask you this... Did Anna ever mention a reporter named Jeannine Wilson? 441 00:25:14,710 --> 00:25:18,480 Sure. Said she was a nice lady. Foolish, but nice. 442 00:25:18,551 --> 00:25:21,523 She thoughtJeannine was wasting her life waiting around for Blanchard. 443 00:25:21,591 --> 00:25:24,826 She knew that Jeannine and Blanchard were having an affair? 444 00:25:24,898 --> 00:25:28,462 Who didn't? I mean, you don't interview someone for an article for four years. 445 00:25:29,541 --> 00:25:33,071 SoJeannine actually came by the lab? Sure. Two, three times a week. 446 00:25:33,148 --> 00:25:36,349 She left her kid with Anna when she and Blanchard went off to lunch. 447 00:25:36,421 --> 00:25:38,618 When was the last time she was here? 448 00:25:38,692 --> 00:25:42,223 Last time I saw her was a couple weeks ago. 449 00:25:46,308 --> 00:25:48,904 He was doing better yesterday. 450 00:25:48,979 --> 00:25:53,444 And then this morning he woke up with a fever of 103. 451 00:25:53,522 --> 00:25:57,223 They've released everyone else. 452 00:25:57,297 --> 00:26:02,035 I pray to God that bastard rots in jail. 453 00:26:02,106 --> 00:26:04,440 I don't know if he will, Jeannine. 454 00:26:05,513 --> 00:26:09,579 I thought my virus was the same as that in the vial. 455 00:26:09,655 --> 00:26:12,957 It was. It got into me somehow, damn it! 456 00:26:13,028 --> 00:26:15,625 It had to be the injection. 457 00:26:15,701 --> 00:26:20,439 You're probably right. So what's the problem? 458 00:26:21,512 --> 00:26:24,074 You. What? 459 00:26:24,151 --> 00:26:27,749 You told the police you hadn't seen Anna Hopkins in months. 460 00:26:27,825 --> 00:26:31,196 I know that you saw her at the lab just a few weeks ago. 461 00:26:31,266 --> 00:26:33,634 Why did you lie? 462 00:26:40,550 --> 00:26:44,616 She says she had a paternity test four years ago at Blanchard's insistence. 463 00:26:44,693 --> 00:26:46,629 He certainly thinks highly of her. 464 00:26:46,697 --> 00:26:48,929 Jeannine said she wanted to keep the whole thing from her son... 465 00:26:49,001 --> 00:26:51,369 as long as Blanchard stuck it out with his wife. 466 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:55,574 Mrs. Blanchard know about the child? Jeannine says absolutely not. 467 00:26:55,648 --> 00:26:58,984 Well, we'll see how long Dr. Blanchard has an alibi after you tell her. 468 00:26:59,055 --> 00:27:02,153 After I tell her? Arthur was right. 469 00:27:02,228 --> 00:27:05,291 This sort of thing's better handled woman-to-woman. 470 00:27:07,238 --> 00:27:10,699 If you expect me to start throwing dishes, you're mistaken. 471 00:27:10,778 --> 00:27:14,115 To be honest, I expected some kind of reaction. 472 00:27:14,186 --> 00:27:15,917 Why? 473 00:27:15,989 --> 00:27:20,795 Your husband not only cheated on you, but he fathered a child with another woman. 474 00:27:20,866 --> 00:27:23,029 I never wanted children. 475 00:27:23,104 --> 00:27:25,097 That's not the point. 476 00:27:25,174 --> 00:27:27,839 No, your point is that I should feel betrayed, 477 00:27:27,913 --> 00:27:29,849 minimized, used. 478 00:27:29,917 --> 00:27:33,014 Well, I hate to ruin your day, but I don't. 479 00:27:33,090 --> 00:27:36,187 Mrs. Blanchard, most women wo... Are fools. 480 00:27:36,264 --> 00:27:39,964 Their husband cheats, and their first call is to the divorce attorney. 481 00:27:40,037 --> 00:27:42,030 I have to admit that would be my reaction. 482 00:27:42,109 --> 00:27:44,773 These are the same fools who stand by their husbands, 483 00:27:44,847 --> 00:27:47,979 charged with embezzlement or even murder. 484 00:27:48,054 --> 00:27:52,792 I'm sorry, but to me, those crimes are a bit more morally reprehensible. 485 00:27:52,864 --> 00:27:55,836 Excuse me. 486 00:27:57,273 --> 00:27:59,209 Yeah. 487 00:28:02,349 --> 00:28:04,285 Sure. 488 00:28:06,625 --> 00:28:11,089 Speaking of murder, your husband's son, Tanner, just died. 489 00:28:16,645 --> 00:28:19,913 I wish my dog was as loyal as Elaine Blanchard. 490 00:28:19,985 --> 00:28:23,220 You told her about the kid? She didn't even bat an eye. 491 00:28:23,292 --> 00:28:26,492 It doesn't matter. I doubt Swan will put her on the stand anyway. 492 00:28:26,565 --> 00:28:28,900 She has to. She's the alibi witness. 493 00:28:28,971 --> 00:28:32,705 In the grand scheme of things, a wife's testimony doesn't amount to a hill of grits. 494 00:28:32,778 --> 00:28:35,044 But it is better than nothing, Arthur. 495 00:28:35,116 --> 00:28:39,079 On the other hand, when a wife takes the stand, privilege goes down the toilet. 496 00:28:39,157 --> 00:28:42,927 Now, I've been around for six decades, I've never committed a felony. 497 00:28:42,999 --> 00:28:45,835 Still, I wouldn't want my wife cross-examined on the record. 498 00:28:45,905 --> 00:28:48,843 Well, my money's on Elaine. Besides, by the time she takes the stand, 499 00:28:48,911 --> 00:28:51,940 she's gonna be better prepped than Meryl Streep. 500 00:28:52,017 --> 00:28:55,513 On the other hand, we could be putting the cart before the mule. 501 00:28:55,591 --> 00:28:58,222 Blanchard's staring at a murder charge now. 502 00:28:58,297 --> 00:29:01,326 See if he isn't more amenable to a plea. 503 00:29:03,206 --> 00:29:06,873 This is a tragedy. We're both very sorry, but my client still didn't do it. 504 00:29:06,948 --> 00:29:09,852 - It doesn't change a thing. - Except the indictment. 505 00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:13,086 - We're upping the charge to murder two. - That's absurd! 506 00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,930 Whoever did this couldn't possibly have foreseen the child's death. 507 00:29:17,001 --> 00:29:19,335 But as any first-year law student knows, 508 00:29:19,405 --> 00:29:22,343 intent follows the bullet. 509 00:29:22,411 --> 00:29:25,475 The target of your rage was Jeannine Wilson. 510 00:29:25,552 --> 00:29:28,524 The boy was collateral damage. 511 00:29:28,591 --> 00:29:31,825 Think about how that's gonna sound to thejury. 512 00:29:31,897 --> 00:29:35,837 Guilty pleas are only for the guilty, Ms. Southerlyn. We'll take our chances with the jury. 513 00:29:43,187 --> 00:29:46,854 No. In my opinion, there is absolutely no possibility... 514 00:29:46,928 --> 00:29:51,301 thatJeannine Wilson could have been infected accidentally with the SARS virus while she was in Toronto. 515 00:29:51,370 --> 00:29:53,306 How can you be so sure? 516 00:29:53,374 --> 00:29:57,178 In layman's terms, the SARS virus originates in two parts of the world. 517 00:29:57,249 --> 00:30:00,586 The type that has infected the people in Toronto comes from Singapore. 518 00:30:00,656 --> 00:30:03,992 And that was not the type that infected Jeannine Wilson and her son Tanner? 519 00:30:04,063 --> 00:30:07,058 No. That was the type originating in Hong Kong, 520 00:30:07,135 --> 00:30:09,732 which infected all those people in China. 521 00:30:09,808 --> 00:30:12,712 And the vial found in Anna Hopkins's car? 522 00:30:12,780 --> 00:30:16,914 That was the Hong Kong strain. In addition, we compared cells found in the vial... 523 00:30:16,988 --> 00:30:19,186 with those found in the infected patients. 524 00:30:19,260 --> 00:30:21,662 The results were remarkably similar. 525 00:30:21,732 --> 00:30:26,231 Specifically?

The doctors diagnosed SARS. 536 00:31:05,053 --> 00:31:07,046 That must have been quite a shock. 537 00:31:07,124 --> 00:31:10,187 Yes, it was. Sure, I'd been to Toronto, 538 00:31:10,263 --> 00:31:14,397 but all the literature said the epidemic there had been contained. 539 00:31:14,471 --> 00:31:16,772 Were you scared? 540 00:31:16,844 --> 00:31:19,212 I'd written several articles about SARS. 541 00:31:19,281 --> 00:31:23,518 I knew that if treated properly, I would recover. 542 00:31:23,591 --> 00:31:27,258 Besides, in prior discussions with Dr. Blanchard, 543 00:31:27,332 --> 00:31:31,272 he assured me that treatment was simple and painless. 544 00:31:31,340 --> 00:31:35,041 And he would know. He wrote the book on virology, didn't he? 545 00:31:35,114 --> 00:31:37,744 You don't sound convinced. 546 00:31:37,819 --> 00:31:41,281 He wanted to hurt me. He did. 547 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,355 But why hurt my baby? 548 00:31:44,432 --> 00:31:48,304 The steroids he was taking for juvenile arthritis... 549 00:31:48,374 --> 00:31:51,609 weakened his immune system. 550 00:31:51,681 --> 00:31:54,174 You knew Tanner was on medication. 551 00:31:54,252 --> 00:31:57,156 Just answer the questions asked, Ms. Wilson. 552 00:31:59,229 --> 00:32:01,860 My baby is dead. 553 00:32:01,935 --> 00:32:05,135 He was only four. 554 00:32:05,208 --> 00:32:07,474 How could you? 555 00:32:07,546 --> 00:32:12,386 How can you be so sure it was Dr. Blanchard who infected you? 556 00:32:14,627 --> 00:32:18,328 He's the one who stuck a needle in my arm. 557 00:32:18,401 --> 00:32:20,804 He said it was B12. 558 00:32:20,873 --> 00:32:24,175 But he'd been doing that for years, if I'm not mistaken. 559 00:32:24,246 --> 00:32:26,809 Sure. While we were seeing each other romantically. 560 00:32:26,885 --> 00:32:31,383 After four years, I finally realized he was never going to leave his wife. 561 00:32:31,461 --> 00:32:36,062 That's when I told him I couldn't go on any longer. 562 00:32:36,137 --> 00:32:38,073 What did he say? 563 00:32:38,141 --> 00:32:41,113 He had a tantrum, 564 00:32:41,180 --> 00:32:43,981 the great Dr. Charles Blanchard. 565 00:32:45,490 --> 00:32:47,722 Then he said I'd be sorry. 566 00:32:49,297 --> 00:32:52,167 A week later, he called and apologized. 567 00:32:52,237 --> 00:32:57,339 Said we were both adults. We should continue our friendship. 568 00:32:57,414 --> 00:32:59,714 I believed him. 569 00:32:59,786 --> 00:33:04,990 And that's why I let him give me another shot, instead of going to another doctor. 570 00:33:10,073 --> 00:33:12,476 Did you know Anna Hopkins? 571 00:33:12,545 --> 00:33:15,574 The woman in whose car the virus was found? 572 00:33:15,651 --> 00:33:19,591 Of course.

That's why I called it off. 584 00:33:58,538 --> 00:34:01,031 How did Ms. Wilson take that? 585 00:34:01,109 --> 00:34:03,205 She became hysterical. She threatened me. 586 00:34:03,281 --> 00:34:05,877 She said she'd do whatever it took to pay me back. 587 00:34:05,952 --> 00:34:09,916 Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that she infected herself to implicate you? 588 00:34:09,994 --> 00:34:14,560 Of course not. It's easier to lie about some imaginary B 12 injection. 589 00:34:14,636 --> 00:34:17,199 So, you didn't give her injections? 590 00:34:17,275 --> 00:34:19,302 I did, when we were seeing each other. 591 00:34:19,379 --> 00:34:21,976 When I ended our affair, I suggested several other doctors... 592 00:34:22,052 --> 00:34:24,454 who'd be more than willing to continue her treatment. 593 00:34:24,524 --> 00:34:27,462 So you didn't give her an injection on the night of September 12, 594 00:34:27,530 --> 00:34:29,796 the night after she came back from Toronto? 595 00:34:29,867 --> 00:34:32,167 Certainly not. I hadn't been to her apartment in several weeks. 596 00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,303 For the record, where were you that night? 597 00:34:35,379 --> 00:34:38,749 At home, with my wife. 598 00:34:41,157 --> 00:34:44,926 It took you four years to realize that cheating on your wife was a mistake. 599 00:34:44,999 --> 00:34:48,267 No. I'm a 50-year-old man, 600 00:34:48,338 --> 00:34:51,869 who had a young, beautiful, intelligent woman interested in him. 601 00:34:51,946 --> 00:34:56,512 What can I say? I was flattered. I was weak. 602 00:34:56,588 --> 00:35:01,657 So when it came to a choice between your ego and your marriage, you chose the former. 603 00:35:03,201 --> 00:35:06,504 I hated myself for lying to my wife about the affair. 604 00:35:06,575 --> 00:35:10,913 It was the first and only time. I keep no other secrets from her. 605 00:35:11,986 --> 00:35:15,221 I see. You told her about your son, did you? 606 00:35:23,676 --> 00:35:27,377 Hi.
