[Deanston] Nothing like
the face of a baby,
is there?

Sure, if you like babies.

I think you'll find
that being pregnant

will change your feelings
about that.

You want me to be mushy
about this?

That's weird, considering
this isn't my baby.

What I'm saying
is that having
a new life inside of you

can be
a very positive experience.

I think you'll be
pleasantly surprised

by the changes
that come over you.

Sure.

Whatever.

Okay, I'm going to be gentle,

But you may feel
a little cramping

when I insert the embryo.

What happens
if it doesn't take?

Do I still get paid?

It's all laid out
in the contract
that you signed,

but to be honest, Claire,

I don't think
you'll have any problems.

We have
a pretty high success rate.

I don't mean
to sound mercenary,

it's just...
I need the money, you know?

Remind me.
What kind of art was it
that you said you did?

It's kind of abstract.

I don't do baby faces,
if you know what I mean.

Uh-huh.

That's it? You're done?

Well wait till we
get to the birth.

I'm even better.

Now then, I'm going
to need you to lie quietly

for a half-hour or so.

The nurse will be in
to check on you
in a moment.

You did great, Claire.

Did it go okay?
Is it going to work out?

Oh, so far, so good.

The embryo was
in excellent shape,
so there's no reason

to think it won't find
a good and happy home

in Claire's body.

I really would love
to meet Claire.

Do you think it would be okay?

To be honest, I don't think
she's quite ready yet.

She needs a little time.

Just a sec.

I know it's hard,

but I want you
to bear with me.

I don't think I've met
a better candidate

than this young lady.

She'll come around.
They always do.

[door opens]

-How did we do?
-Just fine.

The embryo has successfully
implanted itself.

It's viable?

Oh yeah.

It's alive.

[Control Voice]
There is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal
and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels

or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

and beyond.

We can shape your vision

to anything
our imagination can conceive.

For the next hour,

we will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

which reaches
from the deepest inner mind

To The Outer Limits.

[Control Voice]
The beauty of motherhood
and the miracle of new life

connects us to our humanity.

Or does it?

[Ben] What... What do you mean
you did it already?

[Claire] I told you
when I left this morning
that I was serious.

Did you think I was kidding?

Yeah. I thought
you were serious
about needing money,

not about doing this.

Claire, you don't know anything
about being pregnant.

It's not rocket science.

I'll figure it out
as I go along.

[Ben] Yeah, well, just because
you had the procedure

doesn't mean you're
actually pregnant.

Believe me, I am.

It doesn't matter. Look,

do you want me to move in
and share expenses with you?

I'll do it.

Ben, this isn't about us.

It's about me.

I've been doing a lot
of soul-searching...

What I need,
what I don't need,

and it's time for me
to get serious

about my life
and about my art,

and this will give me
that chance.

You moving in here won't.

-Considering all
the back rent you owe?
-Ben!

What would they give you,
a couple thousand dollars?

-How far do you think
that's gonna go?
-Try $15,000,

And another $15,000
when the baby comes.

All right, but, Claire...

Don't shut me out of your life.

I don't want to.

Let me go through this
with you.

The kind of women
they want for surrogates

are single,

not attached,

no relationships.

Yeah, okay.

I got it.

I know you when you
make up your mind
about something,

and I'll back off...

But if you wake up in the night
and you need someone...

[Claire] I'll keep it in mind.

I will.

Thank you.

It kind of feels
like a hand or a foot,

Um... Moving over here
and then up here.

I kind of
felt something this morning

over here.

I mean, is that even possible?

You're nine weeks,
right, Emily?

It would be a little early.

But not entirely unheard of.

Some babies are quite capable
of movement.

What you probably felt
was them shifting,

and not any particular
body part.

-Morning, ladies.
-Morning.

I have a new member
for your group.

This is Claire.

Claire, this is the
surrogacy support group.

Rebecca's one of our nurses
here, she runs the group.

-Hi.
-[Deanston] That's Mary...

Our darling Lorraine...

Uh, Gina's back there,

and the beautiful lady

with the beginnings
of a bulge, that's Fern,

and next to her
is Emily.

So how far along
are you, Claire?

Just a week.

I was explaining to Claire

how the group works.

As I think you'll see,

being able to lean
on the experience
of other women

who are doing what you're doing
is invaluable.

To help you deal
with some of the feelings
that you might start to have,

and to have a place
where you can talk about them.

Is that, like, mandatory?

To talk about them?

The only thing mandatory here

is that you take care
of yourself.

And, as I'm due
in the procedure room,
uh, right about now,

I'll leave it to the ladies
to tell you all about that.

Bye.

[door closes]

It's not that I don't like
talking about my feelings...

You don't have
to explain yourself, Claire.

Please, have a seat.

Did Dr. Deanston talk to you
about the diet?

The diet?

The good news is

you get to eat
just about whatever you want,

so long as you tell the clinic
what you're eating.

[Fern] And the bad news...

Six of these a day.

They have a tendency
of getting stuck
in your throat.

They taste awful
going down,

and coming back on you.

That's why it's better
if you crush them up

and stir them into a whole pint
of chocolate-chip ice cream.

-What?
-Is that allowed?

Well, you don't tell them
that you ate the whole pint.

I mean, you've got to keep
some things to yourself.

Okay. [chuckles]

You don't have to share
your feelings
unless you want to, Claire.

Well, it's just...
I have my reasons
for doing this, you know?

If I wanted to be a mom,
I'd go be a mom.

[Emily] Hey, it's okay that
you're doing it for the money.

We're all doing it
for the money.
I mean, this is a job.

The fact is,
is that feelings and emotions
do come with the territory.

The funny thing is,
is that harder you fight them,
the stronger they feel.

How bad are they?

[Rebecca] I don't think you can
really measure it
in terms of "bad."

Bearing a child
is a very human thing.

It's okay to be human about it,
you know?

Oh, Claire,
can I talk to you for a second?

-Yeah.
-What did you think
of the group?

Some pretty neat ladies,
don't you think?

Yeah, they're okay.

Oh, I think you'll find
they're much more than that.

In time, of course.

You know, one of the things
we do differently here

is we keep a distance
between you

and the couple that
you're surrogating for

until you're emotionally
prepared to meet them.

But since you don't have
any family,

it might be comforting
to talk to the Ellachs.

Isn't that
what the group is for?

Yes, but what I mean is

the Ellachs have
more invested in you.

Their phone number.

Use it only when
you're ready to.

Okay.

-See you.
-Take care.

Oh!

Oh.

[gasps]

[man 1] Out of the way,
out of the way.
[man 2] Out of the way, please.

[screams]

Claire, I need you
to describe the pain.

I need to know exactly
what you're feeling.

It's sharp. It's so sharp.

It feels like
something's sticking in to me.

[Deanston]
Is it coming in waves,

or is it more gradual?

The fetus has detached
itself from the placenta.

[Deanston] Oh no...

[Claire] Is it going to die?

[yells] Is it going to die?

It's moving,
it's trying to get out of her.

Am I in labor?

We'll have to induce.
I need 10 units
of Oxytocin, stat!

Help me.

[screams]

Help! Help me!

-Hold still.
-Help me!

I need you to hold still.

Claire Linkwood.

12:15 a.m.

She's at her window.

I'd say
her nightmares have begun.

The baby, I... I could feel it
moving inside of me,

and then you said,
"It's trying to get out,"

and the really weird thing
is you were right,

Except it wasn't going
in the right direction

to get out.

It was going the other way...

And then I woke up.

I'd say that qualifies
as a nightmare.

I spent the rest of the night
checking myself

to make sure
I wasn't bleeding still.

If it's any consolation,

I've had
some pretty awful dreams too.

So has Fern.

It's quite normal
for pregnant women

to experience vivid dreams
of that nature,

especially when you consider
all the changes

that your bodies
are going through.

This was more than just vivid.

I could feel it.

Have your bad dreams
felt so real?

Oh yeah...

Yeah.

Have you started
taking the vitamins?

Actually, no, I haven't.

[Emily] Take 'em.

One before bedtime helps a lot.

I'll do it.

This has really affected you,
hasn't it?

I don't know if it was
the dream or what,

but when I woke up
this morning,

just the thought
of losing this...

It really upset me.

Welcome to the club.

[dialing phone]

[ringing]

[Donna] Hello?

Hi. Is this Donna Ellach?

Yes, it is. Who's calling?

It's Claire Linkwood.

Would it be all right
if I came over?

Of course it would, Claire.

I'm so glad you called.

I just thought that maybe
I should introduce myself,

you know?

[rewinds tape]

I'm so glad you called.

I just thought that maybe
I should introduce myself,

you know?

Let me give you the address.

[Claire] The thing
you have to understand

is I'm not doing this

because there's
some kind of mommy inside me

trying to get out.

If anything, I never wanted
to be a mommy at all.

I have a feeling

being pregnant will
change all of that.

That's what
they keep telling me.

Was there something
in your childhood

that made you feel that way?

Craig...

I'm asking a simple question.

I apologize, Claire.
Please, ignore him.

It's okay. I don't mind.

To put it mildly,
I hated my parents.

I ran away from home
the day I turned 16,

and I haven't
looked back since.

Your folks haven't wanted
to talk to you?

As far as I'm concerned,
I have no parents,

no family.

We're not your family, Claire,
but we are here for you,

no matter what you need.

That's very nice of you, but...

[Donna] I'm not just saying it.

I mean, considering everything
you're doing for us

and how you have
a little of our blood

mingling with yours...

Look, I'm not real good
at being mushy,

but I have a feeling

this thing is going to make me
a little mushier

than I'm used to,

so how about if we just see
where he or she takes us?

-Yeah.
-Yeah, well,
that's good enough.

[Claire] A little lower.

There. You feel it?

Oh, my god.

-[chuckles]
-It moved.

And again...

Little warmth on a cold night?

Sorry you can't
join us, Claire.

Honey, you should feel this.
Is it okay?

It's his baby.

-That's... Wow.
-[chuckles]

I mean, really.

Wow!

He's a real
little soccer player.

Or she.

I'm sorry
if I've seemed remote at times.

It's a strange kind
of a relationship we all have.

Dr. Deanston said
emotions would come into play.

He was right.

I don't.

Well...

Maybe in some small way
I think of it as ours...

But I'm really
starting to feel glad
that I did this.

We're really glad
you did it, too.

I don't know
about the rest of you,

but I'm starving.

Did you try the recipe
for the vegetables
I gave you?

I'm talking fast-food burgers,
okay, with everything on them,

one in each hand.

See you next time.

See you.

You were
kind of quiet today.

Something bothering you?

I'm fine.

Fern, that wasn't
very convincing.

I had the dream again, okay?

About the baby.

Except this time,
it was more like yours.

I could feel it inside me,
trying to get out.

Are you taking the vitamins
at night before bedtime?

Of course.

Well, then, Fern...
It's just a dream.

Did you tell Dr. Deanston
about it?

He said it was just a dream.

[telephone ringing]

Hello?

[Fern sobbing] I had
the dream again.

Fern?

It was worse...

Much worse.

I'll be right there.

Did you talk to Dr. Deanston?

Talk to Dr. Deanston...

No. I can't.

I'm supposed to go
in there tomorrow

for some procedure,
and I don't want to.

Just the thought
of that man touching me...

Fern, Dr. Deanston's not
going to hurt you.

He's a good man.
You know that.

I don't want him to touch me.

Fern, where is this
coming from?

I have been so sick
from the beginning,

and, after a while, I thought
it was those damn vitamins.

I stopped taking them.

Oh, Fern...

It doesn't matter.

This sickness...

If I eat, if I don't eat,
it's all the same.

Something's not right.

What if the babies
we're carrying aren't normal?

What if Dr. Deanston

has subjected us all

to some kind
of horrible experiment?

Fern, this is crazy.

They're watching us, you know.

Watching.

He wanted me to talk to him,
and so I did for a while,

and then I stopped,

and now I don't know
what to do.

Fern, who are you
talking about?

[groans]

What's wrong?

It's like the dream...

Sit down.

I'm calling Dr. Deanston.

-No...
-I'm calling him.

Please...

[hushes]

[Claire] I'm sorry, Fern.

I'm so sorry.

Rest now.

Try and relax.

You'll be okay.

Is she going to be
all right?

She's going to be fine.

She's lucky to have
a friend like you.

I'm lucky she has
a friend like you.

If you want, I can stay
and look after her.

She does need her rest,
and so do you.

It would be best
if you went home.

We'll take care of her.

[Deanston] You did the right
thing, Claire.

You really did.

I've been waiting
for you, Claire.

I'm not going to hurt you.

Special Agent Glenn Grant.
I'm with the FBI.

Does that give you the right
to break into my apartment?

What the hell do you want?

Answers I'm hoping
you can give me

about Dr. Deanston.

You're the one
Fern was talking about
aren't you?

You were harassing her,
from the sound of it.
She was terrified.

She should be, but not of me.

I want you to look
at these files, Claire.

They're the tip of the iceberg.

I've got dozens more
just like them.

Surrogate patients
of Dr. Deanston's,

going back five years,

and all the babies
those women were supposed
to have had?

They're gone.

What?

As if they never existed.

I don't believe you.

I've seen plenty of babies
at the Deanston clinic.

Surrogate babies?

I'm not talking

about Dr. Deanston's
regular practice.

That's a cover.

I'm talking
about the surrogacy program,

the women like you,
their babies.

Have you seen them?

No, but...

Take it.

Wendy Newton, full term.

Details of birth not available,

birth certificate
not available.

Death certificate
not on record.

Denise Chivas,

premature labor
at seven months.

Details of birth
not available,

birth certificate
not available,

death certificate
not on record.

Wait.

Are you telling me

that all
of Dr. Deanston's patients,

That their babies die?

No.

The man's running
a successful in-vitro program,

a very high percentage
of live births,

until you look
at the surrogacy results

And discover, Claire...

Listen to me.

And discover there aren't any.

I don't get it.

Something terrible
is happening
to these babies, Claire.

I've approached
some of the birth mothers,
but they won't talk to me,

but Fern was ready
to cooperate.

Then suddenly,
she changed her mind.

So you moved on to me.

Bad choice, agent Grant.
I have nothing to say to you.

Claire...

When you stand
in front of a mirror

and you look at yourself,

you're scared.

I'm trying
to make you understand

just what it is
you're scared of.

Are you watching me?

You're in danger, Claire.

Get out.

Let me help you, Claire,
for the sake of the baby.

Get out.

Don't be frightened
by the truth.

[telephone ringing]

-Yeah?
-Claire? It's Emily.

I'm sorry to wake you.

Um, I don't know
if you heard,

but Fern lost her baby
last night.

[Fern] It was a good thing
Dr. Deanston was already
at my apartment.

I probably
would have bled to death.

He was so wonderful,

and you, holding my hand
the whole time

in the car.

I'm glad I could
be there for you,

but you rest now,
and I'll be back.

So glad you came
to see her, Claire.

It's the Baxters
I feel sorry for.

They wanted this baby
so badly...

I feel like I let them down.

Sweetie, it's not your fault.

Fern,

some of the things you said
last night...

Oh, I can't even imagine

the crazy things
that came out of my mouth.

Maybe they weren't so crazy.

Tell me about Grant,
the FBI agent.

The man's a menace.
He's demented.

Did he track you down, too?

Yes, but...

Claire, I want to thank you
for helping me.

You saved my life last night.

You really did.

Fern. Did you see the baby?

See the...

I mean, there was a baby,
wasn't there?

Yes, and it died.

Why would you ask such a thing?

Was it born alive,
or was it stillborn?

I'm so sorry, Fern,
but I have to know.

[Deanston] Claire?

A word with you, please?

Fern's baby was stillborn.

How many others have died?

I've seen the files.

Oh, you've been talking
to Agent Grant of the FBI,

or should I say,
formerly of the FBI?

What do you mean?

Oh, he didn't mention that?

I'm not surprised.

He was put
on administrative leave

six months ago.

He had been harassing
my patients.

I had no idea this harassment
had begun again.

-Why would he do that?
-Somehow Agent Grant has got it
in his head

that all our surrogate babies
are vanishing into thin air.

-But they're not?
-Of course not.

I can only surmise

that a couple
of our surrogate mothers

with severe depression

spoke with Agent Grant,

and he's spun it

into some kind of bizarre
conspiracy theory.

I'll make sure
he doesn't bother you again.

[Claire] I'm so glad
you called, Ben.

I was thinking of calling you.

I should have come
to see you sooner,

or at least called.

I'm not your responsibility.

I could argue that
with you, but I won't.

So this Grant guy,

do you believe
what he told you?

He's very convincing,
but so is Dr. Deanston.

Yeah, what kind
of doctor is he?

What do you mean?

once a week,

but what kind of monitoring
is he doing on you?

Like, what kind of tests?

He's not doing any tests.

And you don't find that odd?

I don't know.

I... I don't know
what to believe,

who to believe.

Look, Claire.
I know this guy, Dr. Chan.

He went to high school
with my brother.

He's an obstetrician.

I could call him and
set up an appointment

and have him look at you
tomorrow morning.

I mean, at the very least,

it'll put your mind at rest.

[Dr. Chan]
Let's start with an ultrasound.

The first thing that's
a little unusual

is there's
an awful lot of fluid in there.

How far along
did you say you were?

Seven months.
Is something wrong?

I don't know about wrong...
Unusual, most definitely.

A problem, doctor?

Hold on. I want to hear
the baby's heartbeat.

[heart beating]

What's wrong
with the baby's heart?

It's hard to say.

Some babies are born

with an extra chamber
in their heart,

but that's not
what it would sound like.

Sometimes with twins,
you get three beats

because one of the beats
is in concert,

but I don't see
two babies here,

and what I am seeing...

The yolk sac should have been
gone weeks ago,

but there it is,
if that's what it is.

How serious is this?

Look, I know I'm sounding
pretty alarmist,

but from what you've told me,

they haven't run
a whole lot of tests on you,

and frankly, based on
what I'm seeing here,

I think an amnio is essential.

I'd like to do one,
if you'll let me.

Okay.

Rose, could you join us?

Is this going to hurt?

You'll feel a pinch
as the needle goes in.

[Ben] You're going to be okay.

If the baby keeps still,

this won't take
more than a minute.

Almost there...

Almost there...

He's moving.

I can feel it.

Don't let her move.

Oh, my God.

Agent Grant!

Oh, my God.

What's he doing here?
What's going on, Ben?

Claire, I don't know Dr. Chan.

Agent Grant came to me.

-He said you needed
to be seen by another doctor.
-You son of a bitch.

I'm sorry about
the deception,

but I had to get you to doctor,
a real doctor.

-I'm getting out of here.
-Claire, how much more proof
do you need?

Deanston's done
something terrible to you,

to your baby.

-Get your hands off me.
-Claire, where are you going?

Claire, let us take you
to a hospital, please.

-Leave me alone.
-Claire...

[knocking]

Claire, it's Ben.

Claire, are you in there?

Come on, Claire.
I just want to make sure
you're okay.

Look, I'm sorry,
Claire, I really am.
I screwed up.

Please, just say something
so I know you're all right.

You lied to me.

Claire, I swear I didn't know

it was going
to go down like that.

I was trying to help.

By betraying me?

Look, Grant came to me
and told me
you were in trouble.

He said they were doing
something to you
at the clinic.

Why didn't you just tell me?

He said
you weren't thinking straight.

Claire, you've got to
go back to Dr. Chan.

Agent Grant said
that if you don't,
something could happen.

You don't get it, do you?

I may not know who to trust,

but it's definitely
not that guy.

He lied to me. Deanston didn't.

Don't be stupid.

Whatever went wrong
is not Agent Grant's fault.

So now I'm stupid?

No, Claire, You know that's not
what I mean.

Claire, you're in
over your head.
You need help.

You never thought
I could do this, did you?

You've just been waiting
for me to screw it up

so you could come in here
and save me
from my big mistake.

Claire, don't do this.

I hate to disappoint you,
but I don't need your help,

and I certainly don't need
Agent Grant's.

You can go now.

Go.

Okay.

But, Claire,
just... Take care of yourself.

[telephone ringing]

[answering machine clicks]

Hi, this is Claire.
I'm not here.

Leave a message.

Claire, it's Donna.

Please, pick up.

We're worried about you, honey.
Are you there?

Are you okay?

Please, pick up.

But this doctor you went to,

he said something
about the yolk sac?

Oh, never mind the yolk sac.
Whatever that is.

What about all this green stuff
flying all over the place?

Can you possibly be
any more insensitive?

She knows what happened.

I knew there was something
about that Deanston

I didn't like.

I'm so tired.

So tired...

We're going
to take care of you, Claire,

-okay?
-I just want to sleep.

I am so sorry about the baby.

You have nothing
to be sorry about,

and besides, we're not
giving upon this baby,

not by a long shot.

Now, you get some rest, okay?

Thank you so much
for everything.

We're going to see you
through this, Claire.
I promise.

Claire?

Something's come loose.

Come loose?

[screams]

It's sharp!

It's so sharp!

-What do we do?
-Help me...

-Help me!
-Let's get her into the car.

And go where?

A hospital, any hospital.

Get the car keys, dammit.

Let's go!

Hang on, Claire.

We're almost there.

What are we doing here?

We're supposed to be
at a hospital.

This is where you belong.

Hello, Claire.

Help me...

No...

We'll take it from here.

I need to know how
you're feeling, Claire.

Can you describe
the pain to me?

You're a monster.

A monster!

I'm sorry you feel that way,

But I still need to know.

It's sharp, like something's
sticking into me.

That's a bad sign. Let's go.

What are you doing?

I won't let you kill my baby.

Claire. We don't
kill babies here.

That's Agent Grant's paranoia.

Get away!

Don't do this, Claire.

Ow. Ow!

[Rebecca] Claire, this isn't
going to help.

Claire, if you fight us,
the baby will die for sure.

Is that what you really want?

No.

Claire, time is of the essence.

We need every second.

Give me the scalpel.
Come on. Please.

Agent Grant?

This is Emily Bushmill.

You asked me to let you know
if I saw anything strange...

Um, Claire was just
brought into the clinic.

She's having her baby now,
and something is very wrong.

-What's that?
-[Rebecca] This will help.

Help me, how?

I can feel it
moving inside of me.

It's trying to get out.

There, there...

It's got a voice,
like it's talking...

It's hungry.

Yes, it is.

I'm its food. [chuckles]

Is that what's happening to me?

Something like that.

What's happening to me?

What's happening to me?

You can't come back here.
Excuse me!

I'm looking
for Claire Linkwood.
Where is she?

-She needed medical treatment.
-Where is she?

If you care to wait back here
in the reception area--

I can't say
I'm happy to see you again.

You tell me where Claire is
or I'll find her myself.

Down the hall,
but you're a little late.

Agent Grant.

What happened, Claire?
What happened to your baby?

Nothing happened to my baby.

Just like nothing happened
to Fern's baby.

In fact,

they weren't babies at all.

What's that supposed to mean?

We're not like you,
Agent Grant.

We don't bear live young.

We gestate
inside other creatures,

and then, when the time comes,
we start to feed.

We eat everything
but the shell.

It comes in so handy.

Listen to me...

-Both of you. Whatever they've
done to you,
-[door locks]

I can help.

Oh, are you still worried
about what they did to us?

You should be worried

about what we're going to do
to you.

[Agent Grant screams]

[thuds]

I think you'll find this

to be an incredibly supportive
environment, Debbie.

That's why we have
the surrogacy support group.

Good evening, ladies.

I want you all to meet Debbie.

Debbie will be joining
your group from tonight on.

This is Rebecca.
She's one of our nurses.

She runs the group.

I think you'll see that...

[Control Voice]
The birth of a new life
can be awesome and miraculous,

unless it is at the expense
of the human race itself...

Hi there.
