Good boy. Attaboy.

Attaboy.

Attaboy.

Good boy.

They call you the miracle CEO.

I don't know about that.

Smithfield. General Mills. Kraft.
All companies you helped transform.

I think you forgot
Baskin-Robbins.

I was famous
for my triple scoop.

Background in agriculture.

Post graduate degree
in microbiology. An MBA.

You are obviously well-qualified, but
that's not what sets you apart now, is it?

Well, I like to be
on the ground with the people.

Like what you did
in sub-Saharan Africa.

Well, it took me going over there
and seeing the climate issues first-hand,

before I realized how badly we needed
to do something about those droughts.

And that's where Clonestra's
drought tolerant technology came from,

which estimates to help millions
of impoverished families, you say,

within the next decade.

I believe corporations have to do a better
job putting the people's interests first.

Because when we do that,
then everyone's...

I need you to bus table seven.

How are we doing
with that chicken, Charlie?

Coming right up.
You working a double today?

You know it.

Sorry about that wait,
Mr. and Mrs. Miller.

Let me know if there's anything
else I can get you, okay?

No matter how we connect
all of these pieces right here,

the communication, how are
we going to get that idea across,

not just necessarily
for new customers,

but to the chair of the board,

the chair of divisions,
the, uh...

the chair of
the various departments.

Communication in business
involves some extra elements

that are not present for us
in our personal lives.

You've gone out,
done the research.

You have gone
to receive the data.

You're trying to decide what the
customers are, even if it's in-house,

to the board, to the chair of various
divisions or various departments--

They're calling it
the deadly flu.

"Should you get a shot or not?"
It's the question everyone is asking.

Hi, Mom.

Finally.

- Brought home some food.
- What is it?

Fried chicken.

Oh, good. 'Cause my butt's
not quite big enough.

Did Cyclones win?

- What?
- Cyclones win?

Oh, I fell asleep.

Forty-two to seven? Oh, my God.

It's that rookie receiver.
I was telling Charlie.

It's like, he's got
two left feet.

- He go down okay?
- Mmm-hmm.

Once I pried that toy car
out of his hand,

went out cold.

What is it with boys and cars?

Don't get me started.

In addition to donating
seeds to your village,

each of you will receive vouchers
which will allow you to buy more seeds

and fertilizer
at a discount cost.

After many years of research, we have created
seeds that are able to withstand stress

from the viruses, bacteria,
adverse weather, soil conditions.

By using our seeds, you're
going to reap these added benefits.

Plus you'll see increases in
the quantity of your crops to boot.

What's happening?

Say, what the hell is happening?

They are rebels. We
must leave immediately.

Time to get up, mister.

Hey!

I don't see you moving,
little man.

Can you not hear me?

Are you playing a game
"I'm Not Waking"?

What? Oh, my God!

Garrett! Mom!

Garrett. Garrett. Wake up.

Blood pressure,
temperature, all look good.

Looks like he just
has a case of the flu.

It said on the news that it might
be deadly or something. Is that--

I wouldn't worry too much about that stuff.
That was just couple of cases. Outliers.

Your son looks like he has
a fairly normal strain.

So there's nothing else
wrong with him?

Not that I can see.
Probably caught it at school.

It's going around.

Okay. Thank you.

Just make sure
he stays hydrated,

gets some rest and he'll
be fine in a couple of days.

Here that, chicken.

You were a very brave
boy today. I love you.

Aw, how are you gonna
play me like that?

How are you gonna play me
like that? I said I love you.

- I love you.
- Look at me and say it.

- I love you.
- That's better.

Good night.

- Good night, Mr. Owens.
- Oh, Kristin.

I forgot to tell you.
I spoke with the contractors.

We should be able to unveil
the new wing in four weeks.

Oh, about time. I'll
put it in your calendar.

She's going to be a beauty.

Amazing what a multi-million
dollar donation can do.

Does that mean I get a raise?

Didn't think so.

All right, I am grabbing dinner.

Will you let me know if this
transfer vector is successful?

Yeah, let me know if there's a
Jaguar D-type waiting out front for me.

Never going to happen.

I don't know whose
chances are worse.

Me in this experiment...

or you ever getting
to drive one of those cars.

Hey! One day.

Hey!

You work at Charlie's, right?

Yeah.

I'm Eddie.

- Sophie.
- Nice seeing you, Sophie.

Got a little boy or girl?

Uh, boy.

Me, too.

He's the man of the house.

Is that so?

There he is. See you.

Hey, buddy.

- How's school?
- Good.

Yeah, what happened?

I showed everybody
my new football cards.

Yeah? Did they like them?

Yeah, I needed a QB,
so I traded Hank Willis.

- Cool.
- Sam Roger's cards. They're really cool.

- What's going on with your arm?
- Nothing.

Why do you keep
scratching it like that?

- I don't know.
- Stop scratching.

Let me look at it.

Oh, my God, Garrett.

This is really bad.

What the hell do you want?

I, uh...

- Spit it out!
- John--

John Leroy.

Attorney at law.

You, uh, You called me...

about the men
who are harassing you.

You have been traveling on and
off for the better part of the past year.

You missed your son's birthday.

Your mom went
to the hospital twice.

Who do you think
went to visit her?

This was expected.

It's my first year heading
the company for Christ's sake.

I have to show them
what I've got.

Oh, please, they know
who they hired.

Connie, this is science...

that's saving the world.

Wait. We're making broccoli
with three times the vitamin C.

- Bananas with vaccines for Hepatitis.
- Jesus!

It's a tough job. It takes
time. It takes face time.

You know who could use
some face time? Your son!

Can-- Can we at least
talk about this?

Okay, okay. That's enough, Mom.

Oh, come on. It's
breakfast in a tub.

More milk!

He's asking for more milk. As a mother,
you're never going to hear that again.

Hey! It said he's supposed
to sit in the tub

for half an hour with
the oatmeal and the milk.

Okay. Well, I just--
I washed all his sheets

and clothes and stuff, in case
there's something that irritated his skin.

He's gonna be fine, honey.

He's a kid. Kids get sick.

Don't be such a worrywart.

Hey! There's something
in my oatmeal!

I've taken him to the
doctor two more times.

I even took him
to a dermatologist.

I mean, it's cost me a fortune,
but what am I gonna do?

I can't just let him sit there
when he's like this, you know?

Of course not.
You gotta do something.

It's just nobody... can figure out
where the rash is coming from, Tammy,

like, he hasn't
played in poison ivy,

you know, none of the other
kids at school have it.

You think it's that new flu?

I don't know.

I don't know.
The symptoms seem different.

All his soaps and
shampoos are the same?

Yeah, I haven't
changed anything.

He eats the same stuff,

he wears the same clothes,
he plays with the same toys.

Have you cleaned the house with
any new products or anything like that?

No.

We haven't even had the exterminator
come, 'cause we're trying to save money.

Jeez, that's frustrating.

It's just--

I mean, I'm just
at a loss, you know?

Now he's saying his
arms hurt. Feel all funny.

- God, okay.
- I just... my baby.

I know. I know.

Okay, calm down.
It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

Hold on one second. Okay?

Charlie's. How can I help you?

Oh, God. Okay. Okay.
Thank you, bye.

Soph, you gotta
get home. Now! Go!

My arm! My arm!

What is wrong? What is wrong?

He was freaking out about his
arms. I didn't know what to do.

Let's go. We're going to the emergency
room. Let's go. Come on, baby.

- My arm!
- Grab my purse!

I got it!

Don't worry. Everything is fine.

I gave him a small dosage
of Ativan to calm him down.

Okay, and what about
his chest and arms?

It seems to just
be getting worse.

We won't know anything until
we get the lab results back, ma'am.

Worse-case scenario, it's the
onset of an unusual skin disorder,

or a parasite of some sort, which is
not totally uncommon, but I doubt it.

Has your son been in contact
with any animals?

Uh, not that I'm aware of.

I mean, unless he was at
school, but I don't think so.

Any history of disease
in the family?

I have diabetes.

Okay. Well, that shouldn't
have anything to do with it.

I would recommend
a dermatologist.

We've been, and he gave him a cream to
help the itching. It hasn't done anything.

Well, we took a blood sample. So,
we'll send that to the lab to get tested.

Then call you as soon
as we get the results.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

Going to trial will cost you, most
likely, more than you can afford,

with no definitive outcome in
your favor and it could last years.

I see you're a glass
half full kind a guy.

Look, in the last 20 years, Clonestra
has sued more than 800 family farms

over patent infringement.

They've got the money
and the muscle to win.

How do you patent life?

I mean, honestly.

It's hard to wrap your
head around, I know.

But in the early '80s, the
courts ruled living organisms

that have been genetically altered
were eligible for patent protection.

I mean-- I mean, that's crazy.

Crazy as it may be,
I advise a settlement.

It seems to me to be the
most financially sound solution.

And what would that mean?

They would pay you a small sum,
in order to avoid trial,

and in return, you agree to use their seeds
moving forward and pay them an annual percentage.

Like the hell if I do that!

If fact, I want to countersue
them, for harassment.

These damn GMO cops come to
my home before dawn, snooping.

They even got my neighbors
spying for them.

They give them a special
800 number to call

if they see anyone
reusing seeds.

- I'm sorry.
- I'll never use their monster seeds.

I worked too hard to keep my
organic certification all these years.

And this is America...

and I deserve
my constitutional freedom.

So, look, what would
you like to do?

They can bleed me all they want,

but I ain't giving in.

What on earth are you doing?

Hey, what about bed bugs?

Remember Cathleen, she was
itching and scratching for months

and looked in her
mattress, saw 'em crawling.

Then we'd all be itching, too.

I can't see anything on the outside,
but they could've just hatched, you know?

Might not be
a full-blown infestation yet.

What are you doing?

Sophie! Sophie!

It's gotta be bed bugs.
I'm telling you.

Okay? I don't know
what else it could be.

The doctor called and said all
the results came back negative.

- Will you stop it? Stop it!
- Get off of me.

I know they're here!

There is nothing there!

They are small!
You can't see them!

- Put those down now!
- We have to check everything, everywhere!

- Put 'em down now!
- The chairs, the couch...

- You are out of--
- ...your bed, my bed--

Get your hands off of me,
I said, let me look!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Just... Just take a breath.

You're jumping to every
conclusion you can drum up.

You're not an expert.

The doctors know what to do.

The doctors just say,
"It'll be fine."

"Everything's going to be fine. Just give
him more antibiotics and it'll go away."

But it's not going away.

Antibiotics take time.

The doctors are lazy and I
refuse to be a lazy parent.

We have a little money
left in our savings.

I want to take him to a
specialist. I don't care what it costs.

Let's go.

The blood work rules out the majority of
conclusions I would draw from his symptoms.

You're saying my son
is making it up?

I don't think he's making it up
entirely. Clearly, he has a bad rash.

But the hysteria could be
linked to this rare condition

where people falsely believe
their skin to be infested with bugs.

Is that like paranoia?

Exactly. It's a psychological
disorder, Miss Kessler,

where the patient can often
cause the symptoms themselves.

Can I ask, is there any history
of mental illness in your family?

Yes, my father.

Well, there are genetic traits.

Have you yourself ever had
any delusional episodes?

When I was younger.

But they went away.

- Excuse me.
- Hi.

- Can I help you?
- Yes.

Sorry to just walk in like this.

My name is Sophie Kessler. My
mom actually works for Dean Owens.

Do you mind if I--

No, please. How can I help you?

Well, my son, um...

has a really... bad rash...

and, um--

So, I guess, I was just wondering if you
could, maybe, tell me a little bit about

genetic modification
or GMOs or whatever,

just 'cause I know that's a big part of the
research that you do here, at this school.

- Sophie?
- Yeah.

- I'm Dean Richard Owens.
- Oh, hi.

Hi, your mom told me
you'd be stopping by today.

You want to step into my office?

Oh! Yeah, yeah.

Right this way.

Thank you.

So, I looked it up online and I found
this thing that said there was a theory

that it could be connected
to genetically modified food,

and, you know, like a lot of the sufferers
were people who lived near GM fields

and I know we do, so...

Ah, the Internet,
a bastion of trusted science.

Right.

I know, I just--

Genetically modified seeds are
what help children, not hurt them.

The research we're doing here for Clonestra
has made rice so rich in vitamin A,

that it has saved thousands of
children in India from going blind.

Wow.

I didn't know that.

Well, there's a lot
you don't know.

Excuse me, Sophie.

My name is Peter. I work in the lab and
I overheard some of your conversation...

and I think I can help you.

So we should talk, but not here.

Just... make sure
you aren't followed.

That's the whole basis
of bio-technology.

It's changing the DNA
to improve it,

to create plants that are
bigger, stronger, insect-repellent.

Right, yeah.

Dean Owens was saying that they're saving
children all over the world because of it.

Not yet, they're not.

I mean, they could, don't get me
wrong. They're just not there yet.

You see, when you're inserting the
material from viruses into an organism,

you're going to get
complications.

Complications, like...?

Okay, so in the '90s, when GMOs
were like, flooding the market,

food-related illnesses doubled.

Now is that a coincidence?
I don't think so.

Now, almost 90% of corn,

and more than 90% of soy beans
that are planted in the United States

are genetically engineered.

So it's just in everything.

Exactly.

And, you know, when you
change the DNA of our food,

you open up the possibility
for all kinds of new allergies.

Is that what you think
my son has?

It's like an allergic
reaction or something?

Children's immune systems, they're
much more vulnerable than ours.

I mean, you see...

none of these genetically engineered
crops have been tested on humans.

Why not?

Because the corporations
are self-regulated.

They hold no
independent studies.

With all this
lobbying cash at hand,

Washington deregulated
all the crops,

so they don't have to do
tests longer than 90 days,

or release the raw data
of their studies.

They are the authority
on the science.

You get it?

It's remarkable what
you guys are doing.

Thank you.

I think we're close
to a real achievement here.

Well, almost.

We're a little ways off.

We're really happy
with your work.

Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Jacob here tells me
you like cars.

I do.

Well, we wanted to give you a little
something as a token of our appreciation.

Why don't you go and get
your car a little upgrade.

Okay, okay. But what about, um,

scientists who don't work
for the corporations.

There are a few, but
don't have the money

or resources to be
taken seriously.

So their studies
are mostly discredited.

Okay, but those Clonestra studies. I
mean, could you help me see those?

See them? No.

They're probably in a vault...
at Clonestra headquarters.

They do have an office
at the university.

And do they keep
files there, too?

Yes, for, you know, the studies
that they finance through the school.

But I don't have access
to that, and even if I did,

I wouldn't go near it.

I don't, um...

How can there not be any other
independent studies that matter?

We're the guinea pigs, Sophie.

And your son
is the independent study.

We're closed.

Doesn't say "closed."

That's 'cause I haven't
turned the sign yet.

Hi.

I'll turn it for you if I
can have a cup of coffee.

I'll just keep looking
into it, you know?

See if I can find any answers.

Hey, I'd do the same thing
if my kid was sick.

Hard raising a kid on your own.

Yeah.

It must be for you, too.

Yeah.

This place have anything
stronger than coffee?

No. Charlie doesn't
believe in it.

Family restaurant and all that.

When do you need a drink more
than when you're with your family?

Yeah.

So, what do you say? Let's go get a
night cap somewhere else. My treat.

Uh, no. I don't...

I don't think so.

Come on. How many hours
you been on your feet?

Oh, I've been on my feet
since I was born.

There you go. Then what are
you talking about? Let's go.

No, I'm just-- Yeah.

I'm actually three years sober.

Oh.

Oh, um...

I'm sorry. I...

- Feel like an ass.
- No, it's okay.

There's no way for you to know.

But that's great.

Yeah. No, it's good.

I mean, it wasn't good
for a while, and then...

then it got really bad...

and that's why my mom
kind of took over.

I mean, she had to.

Yeah, you're lucky you have her.

More lucky Garrett has her.

He's pretty much the only
reason I'm alive, so...

Well, you gave him life.

The least he could do
is return the favor.

Hi, my name is Sophie Kessler.

I was just wondering if you could
tell me a little bit about your minimum

basic coverage plan.

This is the supplemental
health insurance department.

Can I put you on hold and then transfer
you to the individual medical department?

Okay.

Ma'am, can I
please put you on hold?

Yeah, I'll hold.
Yeah, no. I was just--

Wanted to know about
just the premiums.

Okay, this is--

It's an emergency.

So, the circumstances
are actually--

It's not a pre-existing
condition, correct?

Yeah, so I need to know--

Well, no, I missed...

the open enrollment...

but I-- No, because-- - Okay. You
need to apply for a special enrollment--

Can you please not
actually transfer me?

- Please hold.
- Okay.

Hello?

Hi, is this
Prairie Organic Farms?

Is this what?

I'm looking for
Prairie Organic Farms.

Prairie Organic Farms?

No, I don't--
I don't know about that.

What number were you calling?

Hi.

I'm just looking to buy
some organic food.

Huh! What are you?
Some kind of decoy?

Excuse me?

You work for them.

Who?

Ah, don't play games
with me, lady.

The GMO cops keep
coming on my land.

I don't-- I'm sorry, I don't
know what you're talking about.

Oh, they're really good.

Hey, so what do you
want me to show you?

Would you like to see where
all the seeds are hidden?

I think there's been
some miscommunication.

See, I'm here because
I think my son might be sick...

because of GMOs.

I just feel like I need to feed
him something nutritious

while he's on
all these antibiotics.

Yeah. Doctors dole out
that crap like it's candy.

They don't even know
what it is he's got, but...

I mean, I just don't know
what else to give him.

Well, you figure,
it's the food he's eating.

It's one possibility.

I'm not sure.

Hell, I got my organic
certification 30 years ago.

Yeah. Now...

well, I may be organic,
but this is farm country.

Look here.

You know, I got 25-foot buffer between
this GMO farm and mine, you know?

I'm surrounded by
conventional farms,

that are not only putting pesticides
in the plants we're eating, but they're...

they're spraying chemicals
in the air we breathe.

What happens when it rains?

I mean, how toxic is that crap

that's coming down
in our atmosphere.

You get what I mean?

Yeah.

Shut it down.

Dammit.

Mom. Mom.

- I need you to look at my arm.
- What?

- What is it?
- It has...

Look at my arm. There's...

There was something on my arm.

What did you do?
Did you scratch yourself?

No, there was... There
was something... arm before.

It looked...

What happened? What is it?

No, it's okay.

It's nothing.

It's nothing. It's okay.

It's nothing. It's nothing.

- You have a minute?
- Come in.

I got good news.

The FDA is close to pushing through
our approvals on the ABN transgene.

You're kidding?

I'm straight as an arrow.

So they managed to
work out all the kinks?

It's ready to go.

This is a major
breakthrough, Dan.

Hi!

Mom?

Garrett?

Mom!

Guys, we're very grateful
for your work.

We truly are.

But the research is no
longer yours to explore.

Uh, with all due respect,
we found the marker gene.

Yes, and with all due
respect, we own the patent.

But we started the research
at the university.

- Serge--
- Exactly. Started.

You see, after we gave you your grant,
in case you didn't read the fine print,

you signed over
your patent rights.

No, we didn't. Did we?

Serge, we own 80% of the
bio-tech patents in this country.

You willingly shared the
information from your trials

and you were well
compensated for it.

Uh, Jeff, it's been a pleasure
working with you-- - One second, look.

We engineered this virus and it may
have reconstituted. It maybe active.

I highly doubt that.

But you don't understand,
we're talking about--

I'm sorry. I am.

Please, pack up all your
files by the end of the week.

Your work here is done.
Congratulations.

Your mother has
a minor concussion

and her blood sugar levels
are through the roof.

Yeah, she must've just
forgotten her insulin shot.

Is she gonna be okay?

We're gonna need to keep her for at
least a few days, to monitor her progress.

Mom...

what happened?

I don't know.

She had ice cream.

Oh, come on. I told you
to stop eating that crap.

Please don't mother me.

Well, you refuse to change.

Well, that's one of the perks
of being an adult.

I am who I am.

I am trying to help you, Mom.

Just help Garrett.
I'll take care of myself.

Ain't nothing I could do.

Where'd they come from?

I told you. The seeds company.

How'd you figure?

I don't know.

I mean, they sell both
GMO and non-GMO seeds.

They must've
cross-contaminated them,

and they got mixed with my plot.

Look, it ain't my fault.

I didn't--
I didn't ask for this.

Look, I'm sorry
to have to tell you this.

But how the GMOs got onto
your land isn't our concern,

it's the fact that they're here.

This farm has been in my
family for five generations.

Five generations.

Thrity years, I've worked
to make an organic farm

and the mistake of one seed
company has poisoned it all?

It doesn't make sense.

I'm sorry.

It's all I got.

I can barely pay the lawyer

to fight these people,
it's all I got.

Sir... I'm just doing my job.

Now it's not that we don't
care about farmers,

but we have to preserve our
relationship with our consumers.

It's all I got.

Let's see what we got.

No, that's not good.

That... shouldn't even be here.

Oh, these are...

These are definitely bad.

I want French fries.

Corn syrup, I remember that.

Let me get that. No.

I'm going to find you
something else.

I just need to, uh...

I want French fries.

You're not getting
French fries today, okay?

I'm going to find you
something else!

Just give me a minute.

Bill pile?

Yeah. Bill pile.

I'm sorry, Mommy.

Hey...

This is not your fault, okay?

Okay.

None of this is your fault.

- Okay.
- You hear me?

Yes.

I'm not disagreeing with you.

In fact, there have been a number of
class action lawsuits against Clonestra,

but they have been in regards to
the nuclear and the chemical plants.

And those cases,
have mostly been settled.

Okay, and why not their food?

Well, with Clonestra's production
of agent orange, for example,

if the people in the town
where the plant is based

have an overwhelming
propensity towards cancer,

it can be directly correlated to the
plant producing known carcinogens.

Okay, and if my son
has a rare disease

that can be traced
back to GM food,

how is that any different?

Because GM foods in this
country do not require labeling.

So, from a legal standpoint,
it would be incredibly difficult

for you to prove an illness and
trace it back to the GM process.

And you can't prove that the
food your son consumed was GM.

At this point, your case
is intriguing,

but it's all based
on conjecture.

You're going to need hard evidence
for it to stand in a court of law.

Come on, Tommy, be nice.

He's not contagious.

All right. I'll only be
a couple of hours, okay?

- Yeah, no problem.
- Thank you.

Can I ask what it is
that you're doing?

- I'm gonna nail 'em.
- Nail who?

Clonestra. I can get access to the
lab reports and prove the food is toxic.

What are you talking about?

Sophie!

Hey!

Come on, boys.

You said you know
where the records are,

the reports that can prove
the seeds are unsafe?

Yeah, but it's a little
more complicated than that.

I mean, you can't just walk
in and take 'em, there's like...

- security, the keys--
- Like these?

Where did you get those?

My mom works for the dean.

Okay. Wow.

Please. I'm desperate, okay?

I...

I need hard evidence and
this is... my only hope right now.

You in or not?

Janitor's entrance.

It's over here.

Here. Here.

- Shit, it's not here.
- Freeze.

Oh, God.

My mom has been secretary
to the dean for over 20 years.

She's sick,

which makes her crazy, so...

You know, she hasn't missed
a day since I was 16.

So you're saying she sent you?

Well, she said that
if she had her files,

maybe she could do
work from home,

and so I offered to get them.

She gave me her keys.

So why'd you bring the guy?

Uh, he's a scientist
at the university.

I would've had no idea
where her files were.

So, I asked him to come with me.

Sit tight.

So your story checks out.

Unfortunately,
your friend's doesn't.

I'm sorry?

Peter Landow is not
a scientist at the university.

What do you mean?

He's a janitor.

Mr. Hardy, your company contracts over
5,000 broiler farms across the country.

About how long does it take your
chickens to reach market weight?

On average, 16 to 17 weeks.

Clonestra is developing
genetic technology

that causes rapid muscle
growth in broiler chickens.

Our chickens can reach
market weight in five weeks.

What is that? Some
kind of divine intervention?

Genetic modification
is nothing new.

We have been cross-breeding
plants for millennia.

Where do you think we get
broccoli or cauliflower, cabbage from?

It all comes from one species
of wild mustard

that humans crossbred through
traditional genetic mutation.

Our modern methods
are just more precise.

What exactly are those methods?

All you need to understand
are three things:

efficiency, better production,
and more profit.

Here, take your time
to read this over.

You can sign it
whenever you're ready.

He was a scientist.

He had a psychological
breakdown in 2001.

- Like I said, there's a lot of crazy people out there.
- Hold on. Look at this.

Peter Landow was in the midst of
breakthrough biotechnology research,

but due to mental instability,
was removed from his post.

Doesn't mean he was wrong.

Definitely colors his research.

Hold on, I gotta show you these
articles I printed up at school.

Hold on. Look at this.

There are all these
other parents...

talking about their kids
having similar symptoms.

They don't know where
they're coming from either.

You know what?
I'm not the only one.

- And then--
- Sophie, please.

Just take a break, okay? You've
gotten yourself into enough trouble.

Sorry.

My dad...

had a mental breakdown, so...

I just get kind of worked
up about these things.

It's okay.

Did he get help?

No. He ended his life.

- Oh.
- When I was 16.

Sorry.

It was a long time ago.

- Sorry.
- Sorry, I didn't--

Sorry, no, no. It's, uh...

I'm sorry.

I just haven't been
with anyone, you know, since...

I had Garrett, so...

No, it's okay. I understand. I haven't
been with anyone for a while either, so...

Where's his, uh...

His dad?

Don't know.

If you don't wanna talk-- If--

It's okay.

We were just really young, you
know, high school sweethearts and...

he got recruited to be
a QB at Ohio and just...

He got caught up
in all that, so...

Where'd you get
this piece of paper?

Jacob, you know
this isn't bulletproof.

This university used to get most of
its scientific funding from the USDA.

Now it gets it from
corporations, so we adjust.

I have been doing research for
Clonestra on and off for the last 15 years,

starting with the first variety
of corn in 2002,

and I found things that were
not within their line of questioning.

What did you find?

That doesn't matter.

The kind of research that you want to do,
it's a hard sell no matter where you are.

This is a different landscape.

What the fuck is this?

Looks like a drawing.

Where did you get
this stationary?

Oh! I...

Who knows? I...

I don't know. That could be from
anywhere. They own half this town.

Did you really drive all the
way over here to ask me that?

Where's Garrett?

He's in the car.

Oh, my God.

What?

You work for them.

No.

Sophie-- - You were following
me in that car. It's the same car.

I can explain. Okay, just--

I thought I was going crazy.

You're one of them. You're
one of those GMO cops?

Sophie-- - Peter knew
where those files were

and you warned them
I was coming.

You warned them
to move the files.

No! I didn't!

Listen, I didn't! Sophie--

I didn't. I was just trying--
I was just trying to do--

Please, come in.

Thank you.

So, Jeff tells me you're having
some problems with your associate?

Serge.

Hi. I'd like to request
a restraining order.

Okay. Please have a seat.
Someone will be with you.

Okay, come on.

Sit down.

Ma'am?

Ma'am!

Go play with your cars.

What are we doing, Mommy?

Just going to stay inside
for a little while, okay?

Okay.

No more running around
talking to strangers, okay?

Okay.

Okay.

Just play with your cars.

All right. I'm calling it a day.

Listen, can you clean up that
chicken coop before you leave?

Clonestra wants us to have
everything all neat and tidy...

when we wrap things up.

Sure.

See you tomorrow, Hot Rod.

Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit!

Shit.

Jesus!

Hey, I was just
going to call you.

- You forgot your keys?
- Yeah.

I was sending my report on
your desk, so I'm sitting there.

Before I was born, Bob,
you had to put up with him.

Hi.

Excuse me. Hi.

Is Hal here?

I'm sorry. He isn't.

Okay. Well, can you
tell him that I stopped by?

Yeah, I can't do that.

My father had a heart
attack two days ago.

Is he okay?

I'm afraid he's not. He, uh...

He didn't make it.

I'm so sorry.

So, you don't remember?

No, I'm sorry.

Are you sure?

She was here because
her son was sick, a bad rash,

- spoke to Richard for a while.
- No, I'm sorry.

I just don't remember.

Thanks.

But you know I'm just filling in
for Kristin while she's out sick.

I know she has
a daughter with a son.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hello?

Hi, is this Kristin?

No, who's this?

Is this Kristin's daughter?

Who's asking?

My name is Serge Nigani.

I work at the science
department at the university.

I'm sorry, I can't talk to you.

But...

I have some information
that I think would be helpful--

I was burned by one of you guys before
and I got into a lot of trouble for it,

so please, I can't
talk to you right now.

Okay, okay. Wait, I just--

Please, I cannot talk to you.
I am done with all that.

Do not ever call here again!

Who was that, Mommy?

It was-- It was nobody, baby.

Okay.

Go to your room.

Come on, I'm starving.
Who's going to Gino's?

Again? Dude, for an Irish guy,
you eat a lot of pizza.

What am I supposed to eat fucking
potatoes all day? Come on, I'm hungry.

Just got off the phone
with corporate.

What's going on? What's up?

Nothin' big.
I only need one of you.

- Eddie. Come on.
- Nah, I'm good.

What you mean you're good?

Since when do you
turn down a handout?

Since now.

What you got something
better to do?

Come on. I need the
money, man. I'll do it.

Damn right, you'll do it.

Some of us got
kids we gotta feed.

Later. Still stopping
at Gino's on the way though.

Whoo! Come on, baby!

I'm gonna get up on him right
here. Hold on. Hold on to your tits!

Do it! Do it! Do it!

What's going on?

Hey, we just want to pass!

- Shit.
- Dude, go back. Go back.

- Oh, shit.
- Go back. Go back.

Oh, fuck!

Fuck, no, this wasn't
supposed to happen.

Man, we were just supposed
to fuck with him, man!

Back in the car, man. Get back
in the car. We gotta get outta here.

You're not sleeping?

Well, how about I
tell you a story?

Once upon a time...

there was a little boy
who lived on a farm.

There were goats and...
chickens and cows--

You've told this story before.

Oh, well--

You tell the same
story every time.

This was the...

story that my daddy used to
tell me when I couldn't sleep.

Try... Try saying
something different.

Who is it?

Don't-- don't move. Don't move!

I said who's there?

It's your mother!
Open the damn door!

What happened? You were supposed
to pick me up from the hospital.

The nurse said she called you.

What time is it?

Doesn't matter. I took a cab.

Been drinking?

Soph, sweetie...

when was the last time
you left the house?

I don't know.

Garrett, buddy.

You hungry?

No.

He won't eat. His stomach hurts.

Here. Eat that.

I can't.

What's going on?

I don't feel right, Mom.

I feel like...

I've been having
delusions again.

Now I'm afraid that
what Garrett's having, too...

that's what Dad had.

Hey!

You're not your father.

How do you know?

There has been a development in
the car crash on Interstate 35 last night.

Police have identified
the victim as Serge Nigani,

a researcher
at the state university.

He was pronounced
dead upon impact.

- We will have more details--
- Wait.

What did they say his name was?

Serge Nigani.

- Oh, my God.
- What?

He called me.

What are you talking about?

He called me. He called and asked
to speak to me and I hung up on him.

Okay, relax.
Why was he calling you?

I don't know. He said--

He said he wanted to talk
to me about something important

and that he was
a scientist at the university.

But why would he call you?

Maybe he had something important
to tell me-- Something about...

Garrett, I mean, like,
where's the phone?

Oh, Sophie, please.
No more conspiracy theories.

You don't think there's
some connection?

There's some reason
he called me?

- Sophie, I think-- -I'm so stupid.
- I should've just talked to him.

- There has to be a reason. Where is his number?
- Can you please stop?

Enough!

You're not well.

You're acting paranoid. You said
it yourself. You're having delusions.

I've seen it all before.

I was married to it.

I think you should...

go back on your medication...

for your sake and for Garrett's.

No!

Shh! It's okay.

It's okay.

Wake up. Wake up, honey.
Wake up.

- It's okay, Mommy.
- It's just a dream.

Just a bad dream.

I promise you.

Yeah.

That's it.

That's good.

Are you okay?

Yeah. Just a bad dream.

Where are you going?

I've to take care of something.
I'll be back.

I'm not sure that's
a good idea just yet.

His grandfather was
a farmer in India.

He would spend every
summer on that farm as a kid.

But then one summer, his
grandfather started using the GM seeds.

All the farmers did
in his village.

And what happened?

They were bankrupted.

Their crops died...

and were destroyed
and they had nothing left.

They drank the pesticides
in protest.

Jesus! And...

those were the Clonestra seeds?

When Surge was offered the job to do
research for them through the university,

he was obviously conflicted.

But he felt like, maybe he could
be the one to improve the science.

In his grandfather's honor.

I just don't understand
how this could've happened.

He's never gotten into one
accident his whole life.

It's terrible.

I, um...

I didn't get to talk
to him before he left.

I was working an
all-nighter at the hospital.

Did he call or say anything?

No. No note or anything.

But, um...

But there was one strange thing.

What?

In the garage...

he took the spare tire
out of his car.

You have any idea where he
was headed before the accident?

No.

Where's his car now?

They took it to the scrap metal yard
after it was destroyed in the crash.

Okay.

Oh, my God.

What is it?

What does it say?

My address.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hi, I'm looking
for a white Camaro.

Do you have an appointment?

No, but I have the key.

I'm sorry, but you have
to have an appointment.

Please. This is very,
very important.

I'm sorry. You'll just
have to come back.

Ma'am, please. Look at me.
I'm begging you. Please.

Everybody is going to lunch now.

If you would just please-- Hey!

You can't go back there!

Hey!

- Yeah?
- So sorry. Thank you.

Yeah. You need something?

Can I just get in that car?

Yeah.

You got a hell of an arm!

I watch a lot of football.

Ah! I gotta find something here.

Where would the spare
tire be in this car?

Uh, usually they're
right over here.

Find what you're looking for?

Yes!

Good.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I just can't believe it.

I don't understand why Richard
would allow these testings to be shelved.

Well, for one thing, he's on
Clonestra's board of directors.

Mmm. That's why the wing.

That's why a lot of things.

Hey, kiddo...

I'm sorry I didn't
have more faith in you.

Thanks, Mom.

It's weird, you know.

My whole life, I never really
knew what I wanted to be.

Like even in kindergarten,
everyone had all these...

crazy dreams to be like the
president or a veterinarian and...

I just never did.

You like sports.

Yeah, but I could
never play them.

I was always just watching,
you know?

And now I just feel like I've...

I don't know, like I've been just sitting in
the bleachers watching my whole life go by.

Why don't we give these
reports to the newspaper?

No.

Clonestra could--

Their PR could crush a story
this damaging.

I just...

No.

Are you expecting someone?

No.

Put all the piles away.

Put 'em in the closet
or something.

Who is it?

It's Eddie.

Go away!

I need to talk to you.

I said go away!
I'm not interested.

Please, it's important.

Eddie, don't make me
call the police.

Just give me a minute.

You're a fucking liar
and an accomplice.

He's sick.

Sophie...

my son, Tommy...

he's sick.

Do you believe me now?

So?

You were one of those assholes who goes
and bullies people Clonestra doesn't like.

I was, yes.

They recruited me
from the police force.

It was better hours. Better pay.

But I hated it.

I felt like I went from helping
people to hurting people.

And now what?

I'm quitting.

Well, I want to help.

I want to make this right.

How do you want to do that?

Excuse me, sir, I'm here
for the press conference.

You just want to go
out those doors--

Oh, shoot!

Oh, here, here,
let me help you with that.

Oh, look at that.

There's so much stuff.

Just like my wife,
carrying all that stuff.

I don't know what
she doing with it.

Oh, thank you so much.

Oh, my goodness. I have
enough pens here to write a book.

A few doors down.

- Eddie.
- Hey! Uh--

You're late, man. Come on.

You are on farmer duty. Room 1016. You
gotta make sure everybody's got their...

credentials in order.
Who is this?

Um-- She's with--

I'm supposed to meet
my husband here.

He's a poultry farmer.
Security told me room 1016.

I want my daddy.

- All right. Eddie.
- Yeah.

Show 'em up to the room.

Test. Test.
Hello, ladies and gentlemen.

In just a few moments,
we're going to get started.

Thank you for your patience.

Where's Dan?

He's just finishing up with
the poultry guys upstairs.

New York Times has
to take off in 30 minutes.

This has to happen now.

This is just
the beginning, Mr. Hardy.

I hope so, Mr. Conway.

I really appreciate you bringing so many
of your contracted farmers here today.

It helps to put a face
on announcements like these.

I'm proud to have so many farmers with me
because this is really about the farmers.

Well, they're really
excited to meet you, sir.

- Where are they?
- They're in the conference room, Mr. Conway.

I'm afraid we'll have to make the meet and
greet quick though. We're running behind.

Let's get to it.

Hey.

Mr. Conway, the farmers
are actually in room 1026.

It's my mistake. This way.

After you.

Here we are.

Dan!

You gotta come down right now.

We gotta start this press conference
or we're going to lose our top reporters.

I need to meet with the farmers
first and we'll all come down together.

I want them on stage with me.

I'll greet the farmers and I'll
bring them down immediately.

You'll have enough people
to greet downstairs.

I'll get 'em on stage with
you, I promise. Just go.

See you shortly.

I'll be right with you.

Who are you?

You're not Mr. Conway.

No, I'm not.

Now I asked you a question.

Security!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Hey! Security!

- Hey, just hold on.
- Security.

Get out of my way!

Hey! Security! Security! Hey!

Mr. Conway. Mr. Conway!

I know what it's like
to feel helpless as a parent.

I was hoping that
I could speak with you...

about our children.

Well, I'm sorry to hear that, ma'am, but I
have a press conference I need to attend.

- Go.
- Sir.

Where did you get this?

That doesn't matter.

What matters is what
you can do about it.

- Security! Grab her--
- Hold it.

What the hell is going on here?

Just give me a second.

- I've never been shown these documents.
- Let me see.

I understand the corn
was long before your time.

But the chicken?

And that's some pretty scary stuff.
Do you really feel that that's ready

to be sold in supermarkets?

Well...

Look, I think modern industrial
farming helps farmers.

No!

With all due respect, modern
industrial farming helps you.

You are bleeding farmers dry.

These studies were flawed.

They were early on in our process.
They used rats prone to tumors.

They shelved the studies.

You know the first study
linking smoking to cancer

was published in 1950, but it took
almost 50 years for the tobacco companies

to connect...

cigarettes to cancer,

to admit that it was killing us.

Remind me, when was the first
GM crop introduced on the market?

1996.

So by that model, we won't have
labels on GM food until, what, 2040?

I'm not willing to wait
that long, are you?

Dan, we have to get out there
now. This is utter nonsense.

Allergy rates have increased by almost 50%
since GMOs were introduced onto the market.

Conjecture does not prove
causality I'm afraid.

Yeah, I know, I'm not--
I'm not saying that.

I'm just saying, why not...

label the food then,
so that at least...

we have the freedom to know
what it is we're eating.

- I mean, what is there to hide?
- Nothing.

We completely support
voluntary labeling.

If that's what they want to do. We
just don't believe in a federal mandate.

Then why are you suing states
who are trying to pass labeling laws?

Look, Mr. Conway...

please...

I believe you are
a reasonable man.

It's time to start connecting
the dots. Money and...

politics and all that
other stuff aside.

What matters is our children,

and their children, and their
children's children in the years to come.

It's okay.

Why wasn't I shown
these lab results?

As I said, they were
inconclusive and flawed.

These were minor-- - Why
wasn't I shown these results?

Dan... this is classic
activist rhetoric.

She's hysterical.

She's a hysterical woman
with a sick son.

She has no arguments
that we haven't heard before.

Those tests were
disregarded for a reason...

as are the speculations
about the chicken.

That's all they are,
speculation.

It's not science.

The press is waiting.

In the meantime, I'm going to
make sure this is all taken care of.

The first transgenic chicken is
headed to a supermarket near you.

What sounds like science fiction
may just be the way of the future.

Clonestra CEO Dan
Conway has resigned

after only one year heading
the world's leading bio-tech giant.

Do you have
a comment for the GM chicken?

Well, there's certainly
a lot to consider.

I've many questions.

I'm sorry, that's all I can
say for now. Excuse me.

A surprising admission that could
set the world of agri-business ablaze.

Could a viral video be to blame?

And that report right there,

written by one of your top
scientists proves that the food--

The showdown between Miss
Kessler and former Clonestra CEO,

Dan Conway was all caught
on a camera phone,

by none other than her mother, which
already has 10 million hits on YouTube.

The subsequent admission
from Clonestra

has reignited the debate
in Washington,

putting the spotlight
on the next congressional vote,

over whether to label
genetically modified food,

which could set a new legal
precedent come November.

♪ Welcome to my world

♪ Won't you come on in?

♪ Miracles, I guess

♪ Still happen now and then

♪ Step into my heart

♪ Leave your cares behind

♪ Welcome to my world

♪ Built with you in mind

♪ Knock and the door will open

♪ Seek and you will find

♪ Ask and you'll be given

For the first time,
the government is considering

whether to allow
the sale of food

from a genetically altered
animal. The FDA taking it up today.

A company has tinkered with
the genetic material of salmon,

so the fish can grow faster
and reach groceries sooner.

Are eaters ready?

♪ With my arms unfurled

♪ Waiting just for you

Let me ask you about
genetically modified food.

'Cause you hear
so much about it,

and I think people don't
quite understand what it means.

So if you genetically
engineer a new food,

and you change the molecular
structure of that food,

you can introduce a new protein and
sometimes a protein can be a new allergen.

They're in 80% of the food we eat, but
some say genetically modified organisms

pose serious health risks.

Some of the outrage was sparked
by these shocking photos

showing massive tumors
that developed on these rats

after they ate genetically
modified corn over their lifetimes.

Today Azevedo's big worry
is keeping alfalfa hay,

the best feed for producing milk

from being contaminated by nearby
genetically modified or GMO crops.

If the alfalfa seed gets
contaminated, we're out of business.

The contamination
happens when these seeds

drift from one farmer's
land onto another.

It's a dispute that has already
resulted in huge court battles

between conventional farmers
and bio-tech companies.

In the last 10 years, farmers have
sued for over a billion dollars in losses.

Most of these crops are engineered
to withstand glyphosate and so,

what we're finding now is
glyphosate is now in our water supply.

We're seeing it show up in
breast milk of nursing mothers.

And so I think, from
an environmental standpoint,

there is a real risk
involved here.

What you need to know is,

the FDA has actually never
made a conclusion,

except for the Flavr Savr tomato,
about the safety of any of these crops.

All they do is they say that the
companies say that they're safe.

We're one of the few
developed countries

or perhaps the only
developed country

that does not require safety testing
before these crops are on the market,

and so if you want to know
whether they're safe,

you have to do
the proper studies.

We haven't done that, so it's
like our population is a guinea pig.

Here's what I'll do
as President,

I'll immediately implement
country of origin labeling

because Americans should know
where their food comes from.

We'll let folks know whether their
food has been genetically modified

because Americans should
know what they're buying.

We'll let folks know whether their
food has been genetically modified

because Americans should
know what they're buying.
