All language subtitles for Watson 01x12 Your Life s Work Part 1 [2025-05-04 21-00] uswcbs HQ

Previously on Watson.

Five years sober as major.

He started rehab sophomore year of
college.

Never relapsed.

What you said about me last week, you
have no idea who I am. I didn't label

I said you lie often and casually.

I told you something last week about my
dad.

My interpretation is that you killed
your father.

You played the sacred ground.

Why would this be sacred ground?

Well, you tell me, Ingrid.

He's not down there anymore.

I have him now.

So you're collecting DNA?

Professor Moriarty would like similar
specimens from each of the fellows at

clinic. He gave us fake DNA samples.

He says no mistake this time.

The patient's been asleep for 14 hours
and counting this time.

There's no mystery here.

I will bet you all $100 this is Kline
-Levin syndrome.

Mike Dwyer is in his 30s. That's late
for Kline -Levin. Unless there's a

like this change of dress form.

Cajun's only been in his current dress
for two months.

That's when he started sleeping all the
time.

Cross, what do you see at that location?

Basement of his building is a shared
laundry room.

There's a sub -basement.

Looks like an old bomb shelter.

Doesn't look like anyone's been down
here for quite some time.

Look at this.

That's black mold. Put your mask on.

Nightwire is living on top of a thriving
colony of black mold.

Black mold contamination.

We'll monitor the patient while his body
expels the spores, and we'll give him a

letter for mold remediation once he
wakes up.

Mystery solved.

I have plenty of time to wash the mold
off before dinner.

This is my fifth date with Nell.

Don't embarrass me.

When you're a kid with a twin, your
friends just want to know one thing.

If it came down to it, could you pass?

Same outfit, same hairstyle.

Could I pass for Steven? Could the
Stevens pass for me? Oh, I could answer

one.

Absolutely not.

You sound so confident.

I've dated both of you. Who's more
qualified to weigh in here than me?

So you're saying there's no way?

It's got nothing to do with clothes.
It's an energy thing.

You're Adam. You're Stevens.

Never the Twain showmate.

I'm so sorry. I forgot to ask. Can I see
a list of your mock tips?

Of course, sir. Thank you. We hated that
question.

I did everything I could to set myself
apart from Adam.

Unless, of course, it was Halloween.

Oh, what happened on Halloween?

On Halloween, we leaned into it. They
wore the same costume.

I disappeared into Stephen's, and
Stephen's disappeared into me, and on

night, we were one.

Oh, sorry. Maybe you fooled eighth
graders, but guess what?

Eighth graders are dumb.

Well, you fooled everybody.

I got Adam grounded one year because our
own mother couldn't tell who was who.

Honestly, if we could pull it off right
now, I could be Adam for all you know.

I hope you're not Adam.

When you're a kid with a twin, your
friends just want to know if you can

You just said that, babe.

Is this part of the story?

Right?

Sorry.

So it's not the same as dating twins,
but my friend Joy from New York...

Surprise, mate.

Anybody got any kisses?

There's no plastic tarp on the floor.
We're not getting whacked.

He didn't tell you either, huh?

Dr. Morstan.

Wow, Watson invited you too?

I resisted the urge to bring an
attorney.

No, there's no cause for a lawyer
because we're here to celebrate.

The Holmes Clinic attracts people from
all over the world. As you all know,

almost every patient that comes through
here donates a DNA sample. A consensual,

anonymous contribution to the world's
body of knowledge.

We're not just helping people.

We're building a library.

I have been working on a project to put
that rare DNA we collect to

use for the good of the species.

A Watson database of human mutations.
It's my last work. It's our last work.

There's going to be an article in the
New Scientist next week. This clinic is

the hub for a project cataloging every
mutation known to mankind.

So once that paper comes out, this place
is going to be a magnet for mutations

from all over the world.

It's going to be very busy in here.

Shimwell's going to need some help.

Anyone heard from Shimwell? The man's
never missed a day of work.

We're all listed as authors.

We share the work.

We should share the credit.

Excuse me.

Can I help you with something?

Um, sorry to interrupt.

I've been having migraines, and my ENT
said maybe I should come here for a

second opinion.

I'm sorry, we don't take walk -ins here.

I'll see him.

If he's having headaches, we can't let
him walk out of here without a neuro

workup. It could blow back on us.

Okay.

This place is awesome.

Thank you.

What do you want? Relax.

I'm here to set you free.

What does that mean, don't talk in
riddles?

Dr. Watson curates a cutting -edge
genetic slab at 20 feet from here.

I'm sure he's growing some adeno
-associated virus for his experiments.

That's a viral vector. I know what adeno
-associated virus is. Good.

All you have to do is find the sample
he's growing.

Pour the contents of these packets into
each and every culture dish.

You want me to sabotage Watson's
research.

Why? Just do it for me, and then you're
free.

I don't believe you.

There's no way that's the only thing you
want me to do.

This place has got you confused, Ingrid.

You were born to be a certain kind of
person, and you're fighting that.

You can be who you are.

Is this the last thing I'll ask you to
do? Of course not.

But everything after this will be easy.

Are you him?

Are you James Moriarty?

Of course I am.

Dr. Watson thinks my fingers are webbed.

It's all just sleight of hand, really.

If a geneticist is chasing you, show him
syndactyly. Direct his eye where you

want it to go.

is so I could introduce you to yourself.

Have you seen your brother?

Uh, no, he's not back from lunch yet.
Why?

I just got a very strange phone call
from the nurse's station on 6.

Can I have my purse back?

Dr. Croft.

Adam, what the hell are you doing? He
picked up my bag and just started

through it. What is the matter with you?
I'm not done, Adam.

Dr. Croft!

I need to take this, okay?

Listen, we're going to get a room ready
for you. You can rest there.

I was looking at that. I understand.

Are we okay?

We need to admit Dr. Croft.

Be gentle, but I want you to check his
vitals and... Take his blood and urine

for a tox screen.

A tox screen?

Adam's been in supper for five years.
Looking at the same picture, right?

Obviously, this is strange, but Adam was
exposed to black mold yesterday. We

were going to consider everything, but
we can't ignore the obvious.

After a tox screen.

We have to consider the possibility that
Adam is having a relapse.

How's the weather over there?

I can tell when things are cloudy in
your head.

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

Thanks.

I'm angry.

What's going on?

I need everyone in the conference room.
We have a new patient.

My brother needs help.

What's wrong with Adam?

Is he behind?

No. Adam is sober.

He has a history of addiction.

He's experiencing short -term memory
loss, lowered inhibition. We can't

relapse. I have a diagnosis for Adam.
He's annoying, and I say that with all

love and respect.

Can you call someone annoying
respectfully?

If he's your identical twin, yes, you
absolutely can.

Look, my brother takes recovery very
seriously.

I don't believe that he's high, but Adam
has already given blood and urine for a

tox screen.

It'll show what it shows, but I don't
want to sit around waiting.

Are you looking at me?

Your colleague has a conviction.

You said Adam was exposed to toxic mold
yesterday?

I mean, who knows what else was in that
bunker. Sounds like a mycotoxic

playground.

What did Adam eat last night?

Some sort of overpriced, pretentious
vegan mush.

Definitely looked capable of causing
illness.

With your permission, here's what I
propose.

Dr. Croft, you head back to the sub
-basement.

Take pictures and catalog anything that
could account for Adam's symptoms.

Sasha, you can see what you can learn
from the restaurant, and you can help

Stevens.

Ingrid, you can supervise Adam's tests,
rule out trauma, stroke, or any other

lesions. If the tox screen comes back
negative, then we'll have a head start.

Sound good?

Thank you.

Your brother's lucky to have you.

a bandage on my arm. You drew blood.

Watson's running a tox screen. What?

It's a precaution. A precaution? That's
good.

We're not waiting around.

We'll figure this out.

It's gonna come back positive.

What? Tox screen. It's gonna come back
positive for hydrocodone.

Lauren had her wisdom teeth out.

She had a prescription for it.

She was traveling last weekend.

Lauren forgot it was there. I forgot it
was there until I went looking for

toothpaste. I had a weekend to myself.

I took six pills over two days.

It was a relapse, Stevens.

You're getting engaged.

You have a book coming out. Why?

Because I have a book coming out.

Because I'm getting engaged.

This addiction, there's no logic.

Stevens,

it's Wednesday.

I took the last pill Sunday morning.

I'm going to test positive, but I wasn't
high this morning. I don't know what's

going on.

Should I tell Watson now?

No, no, no way.

We still have a few hours to figure this
out. I want to know what's happening

before the results land so no one thinks
that you're high at work.

a mistake.

We'll deal with it, Adam.

Thank you.

Seriously.

I'm sorry I wouldn't talk to you before.

I was scared.

Okay, how was the headache?

Oh, I'm feeling great. Thanks for
asking.

That doctor was very generous with their
time. I'm grateful. Okay, good, good.

It would feel so good to tell you all
about it, Sasha.

But here's the thing.

We all have a circle of people we're
looking out for.

They can only get so big.

I'm taking care of me and my sister.

It's enough.

If I'm not careful, if I let it grow,
soon I'm taking care of everyone.

And that's the same as taking care of no
one at all.

I, um, wasn't trying to eavesdrop. I
guess I walked in at just the right

But what you're doing at your clinic
sounds incredible.

A database of human mutations.

Wow.

Overheard of her. Enough to be
impressed.

But don't be nervous. I'll never tell.

You're a good person.

You haven't had to learn the things I've
learned yet.

Um, thank you for what you're doing for
all of us.

We'll probably never meet again, but...
I'm a big fan.

It was fun to picture a different
version of me.

Christina, you're real.

John, did you learn anything about Adam?

Not yet. We're still working a few
different angles.

I have to be the first one to see his
toxin.

He's a doctor in my hospital. I have to
know if he's high.

I'm sorry, John. He tested positive for
opiates.

We'll test again.

Keep looking for anything that might
help.

But with what I'm seeing right now, I
have to treat this as a case of

intoxication. I should tell Stevens
before we do anything.

He's going to take this hard.

This is Watson.

Be gentle. We're on our way.

Dr. Cross just wandered into the
operating room.

Okay, that is a dangerous tool. I need
you to put that down. Come on, it's all

right. Put it down.

I need you to put that down.

Adam. That is a dangerous tool. We were
prepping the OR when he came in. It's

like he can barely hear us.

He needs to get that back to us.

Stevie?

What are you doing?

Have you seen this thing?

Absolutely incredible.

All right.

Okay. Let's give that a rest.

Okay.

There we go.

Now that they're both presenting with
the same symptoms, we have to reconsider

everything we thought we had observed.

Dr. Darien, what do you think?

Hyperanamorphosis. That's why they're
losing their minds about everything.

Extensive attentiveness to visual
stimuli with a tendency to touch each

stimulus.

You think he'd never seen a mug before.

Or he doesn't know he has visual
agnosia.

Yes, Dr. Marston.

Their eyes were working.

but their brains aren't processing what
they're seeing.

We witness all of these symptoms.

Plus this association.

We're disassociated during these
episodes.

And then suddenly Lou's dedicated him
back to their bickering selves.

Oh, something's happening.

Dr. Croft, you can't be certain. Don't
put that in your mouth.

Doctor, please.

Where'd they get all this?

They pulled a meal cart in from the
hall.

And then the collection cart?

They're eating other patients'
leftovers?

Hypophasia, insatiable eating.

Book the MRI, Dad.

We just had MRIs. I know.

For the results to be different, their
brains would have to be changing

I know, Ingrid. I need you to move fast.

Book the MRI.

You were right. They changed.

In four hours, their temporal lobes
changed.

These angry -looking signal
abnormalities.

Exactly.

PICA coexists with across other
symptoms. There's just one diagnosis.

Kluver -Bucey syndrome.

What's the prognosis?

Cat's getting brain damage unless the
underlying cause is treated.

It's fatal?

Stay here. Underlying cause.

Neurosyphilis, meningitis, stroke.

Syphilis and meningitis tests are all
negative.

Pick's disease, West Nile, tumor.

We can likely rule out twin tumors. You
both are missing one major cause.

Herpes simplex encephalitis.

Adam did have a cold sore. Well, rarely
the virus can ascend to the brain via

the bloodstream or nerve.

No one actually knows how.

So Adam passed it to Steven.

You know, I've seen them both drink out
of that mug. They'll never admit it, but

they're both dying to be number one.

Maybe that's why I've never seen either
one of them wash it.

So it's good news.

How did you hear Clover Beauty can run
with good news?

That's a serious diagnosis, but of all
the root conditions, herpes simplex is

one of the most treatable.

Two weeks of antivirals, and you both
should be back on the road to recovery.

Thank you, Watson, for figuring it out.
If he did.

Laura's been in the waiting room all day
and all night.

I'll update her and hopefully we can get
you all home as soon as possible.

Can't wait.

Aren't you worried about her?

I am.

But the treatment should help.

We're not that alike, are we?

You and me.

I can't tell if I should be more like
you or if that's the last thing that I

would ever want to be.

Be you.

I can't do it.

Hi.

I still know Shinwell.

I thought he was with you.

How did you get here?

An Uber that smelled like burritos and
cigarettes.

I'm starting to worry about Shinwell.

Not to add to your concern when you're
barely through the door, but the crafts

aren't responding to the antivirals.
Have you had a course of

Corticosteroids and Foscarinib.

And with all that, somehow their viral
load is increasing.

They're positive for the herpes virus,
but it's antiviral and steroid

Makes no sense.

Add to that how rare it is for the virus
to cross the blood -brain barrier in

the first place.

And it happened to both of them.

Something's really off here.

I need you to sequence a sample of the
virus itself.

On it. I'm going to call in a welfare
check on Shinwell.

I don't like the timing of this.

I have a bag of escalogen.

They're officially throwing spaghetti
against the wall.

That negativity isn't helpful.

Neither is the fallacy of positive
thinking.

Our episodes are getting longer.

Harder to bounce back from.

None of the treatments are working.

Not accepting the reality of the
situation isn't heroic.

Idiotic. You're the one who's idiotic.

I see your disambition has returned. Why
don't you get it all off your chest?

You are the twin who is objectively
smarter and better in so many ways, yet

people always choose me over you.

Do you know why?

Because they suck at multiple choice.

Because life is one nightmare after
another, and the situation that we're in

right now is a perfect example. And in
the depths of a nightmare, who would you

rather be around?

Is the answer you?

Someone who makes you feel better or
someone who guaranteed time after time

makes you feel worse.

What does it matter what you feel if
you're still stuck in a nightmare?

It changes how you survive it.

I have a hard enough time getting out of
the darkness without you dragging me

back in.

Hope isn't...

Idiotic, Stephens.

For most of us, it's necessary for
survival.

The results are in.

Look at this.

At the top, it's standard herpes virus.

Bottom is the cough.

That doesn't look like something that
occurs in nature. It's not.

It's been genetically modified.

Someone made this virus.

Who?

You, Gov.

You made this virus.

We did.

What?

Where have you been?

There's a lot that's been needing
explanation, so I've been off trying to

all down, pen to paper.

But I knew I owed you a conversation.

But less the chance of spitting me,
folks.

Your research made the Crofts sick.

It's Mariarty.

You were right.

But he's, uh... Culling all black
bargaining, he survived the trip over to

Waterfall.

And I've been doing as he asks for
months now.

The man has his hand in your life's
work.

Every entry in the database of human
mutations, he has it, same as we have.

Adam Croft overheard something he
shouldn't have.

Yeah, it's nothing.

Forgotten about as soon as I spoke it
aloud, but Moriarty is not one to leave

thread, honestly.

I believe Adam's the target here.

Stephens, he shares the same DNA,
doesn't he? So he's just collateral

I don't know how he does it, Dove, but
you'd be the one to tell me.

All that DNA you're keeping downstairs,
Moriarty knows how to turn it against

people.

John, I made you a size something here.

Anything.

All this time.

With me.

With Holmes.

That was a lie.

Far from it.

You and Mr. Holmes showed me a better
way to live. Then why?

And there are those that... loved me
along

the way.

Moriarty intends to kill them both, if
he hasn't already.

John, I need you to tell me how you want
this to go.

Tell me to help.

Tell me to lay down my life in service
of the cross, cos I'll do that.

Tell me to turn myself in.

Let's tell me.

I'll let you know.

So there.

The whole story.

Yeah. Give him a minute. Yeah.

He'll be down soon enough.

Everything all right, Shamwell?

It's been my privilege.

It's a good place you got here.

Uh -oh.

You're all in danger.

Safest thing for everyone in this room
to do is to tender your resignation and

go home.

Why are you saying that?

The DNA that we've been collecting, the
work that was supposed to change

everything, it's in the hands of someone
evil.

It's a weapon now.

And that weapon has been turned against
Stevens and Adam.

And it can be turned against any one of
us.

A man named James Moriarty has your DNA.

He has everyone's.

And he can use it to kill you.

Anything you breathe in, anything you
touch could be a vector. It could carry

designer pathogen made to end your life.

I thought that we were building
something to help everyone.

But really, we are just a factory.

We mass -produced murder.

Stevens and Adam are dying.

You want us to leave you to help them by
yourself?

I want you to make an informed choice.

I'm not going anywhere.

Neither am I.

All right.

I don't know what's next.

I don't have any orders to give, but if
you're going to be here with me, we're

going to figure this out together.

Well, we worked.

While you were upstairs, it worked.

We brainstormed genetic conditions that
could be magnifying the effects of the

virus. Then, we took our database and
ran the cross -CNA through that filter,

expecting to see something affecting
their immune system.

Instead, we found this.

A SNORA A31 mutation.

A mutation on this gene basically
destroys the body's ability to... Keep

out of the brain, Jess.

Occurs roughly 0 .001 % of the
population.

Dr. Lubbock, Dr. Darian, you have found
a needle in a haystack.

Two people with a mutation this rare
getting hit by an unkillable version of

their own kryptonite.

It is statistically impossible.

You were right.

This was made for Stevens and Adam.

Exactly.

Dr. Morrison, you fired me.

You found out what I did for my sister
and you tried to force me out.

If I stay here,

I'm going to go fired.

I'm sorry, are you negotiating?

Dr. Darian, in light of circumstances,
I'll move you to probationary status.

Any suspect behavior and you're
terminated.

Okay, look, you're all here now, and I
will never stop being grateful.

But now let's find a way to kill the
unkillable.

There you are.

It's... What is this? What's happening
to us?

They're on top of it.

You know, if anyone can fix this. Fix
this?

What happens if they can't?

Adam, we don't know.

If you're about to attempt encouragement
and optimism, please spare us both from

that train wreck.

I got smug, Stevens.

All those years of meditation.

Then metaphysical and spiritual.

Here I am still just terrified.

And again, it's not the time to have a
mid -territory routine.

Not mid -territory.

No one knows what's on the other side.

Or if there is another side.

I don't think that there is.

Yeah, definitely not, Mr. Rogers. That
doesn't mean we just end.

What's the first law of thermodynamics?

It's the law of physics and undergrad.

Energy cannot be created or destroyed.
It can't go poof. It can only take

another form.

Miss John?

I've seen people die.

I don't need to believe in Deepak Chopra
or Santa to know that in that moment

something, God's energy, leaves the
body.

And in my bones, I know that that energy
doesn't disappear into the

void, just as I know that water in a
puddle doesn't, despite comparing my

to a puddle.

I'm scared too.

But I don't think we just end.

The body, the consciousness, the bells
and whistles, sure.

But the engine at the heart of it, the
heart beneath the heart,

whatever it is that really makes this
whole thing tick.

EEG tech in here? What's going on?

We won't know until we run the EEG.

Lana.

Adam's fallen into a coma.

Dr. Lubbock.

Violation of PPE protocol, no less.

Well, I'm a Texas scout, the rebel soul.

And y 'all ain't catching.

Lauren dropped these off for y 'all.

Here's one for me.

Thank you, Dr. Lubbock. I'll read Adam's
letter to him.

I should, I should get back.

I always... Assuming that we'd have
plenty of time.

Yeah.

Me and you.

To be here.

To become whatever we were going to be.

Not that I was making any assumptions.

I just hoped we'd find the right moment.

Me too.

This is the right moment.

It's not the one I imagined.

I figured it would involve candlelight
or sunset or

at least a ferris wheel.

One moment.

I will take it.

Through here.

Have you been here all night?

Get a load of that fella.

Hide in the neurons so we can't get to
him. So we'll need to offset for

hepatotoxicity.

Last one scientist used a meganucleic
enzyme to cut this.

virus out of healthy brain cells.

Often this is encouraging, but they've
only done this once in lab mass.

We're inventing a new cure here, Dr.
Lubbock.

There's not going to be a lot of
precedent.

Okay, so how do we get the enzyme to the
virus?

Drill it to the skull, obviously.

Obviously. And from there, this guy
should take us exactly where we need to

What is that?

Tiny scissors.

Tiny scissors.

Oh, yeah, tiny scissors.

It's a wave.

No, it's a viral vector I've been
tinkering with for gene editing.

This is our delivery system for the
enzyme.

It goes after all the neural viruses,
and the accuracy is deadly. Guess which

enzyme it carries inside.

This could work.

This could work. This could actually
work.

Oh, yeah, you bet it could.

Oh, no, tell Stevens.

I'm sorry.

Understood.

Understood.

You have my word.

Listen, you don't heal.

You don't move.

It's a procedure to save the crops.

Now, it's untested, and it's dangerous.

If something goes wrong... Do it.
Meredith, it could blow back on the

and it could blow back on you. Just do
it, John.

Save them.

I got you.

Great, thank you.

Dr. Doherty said he's ready to draw some
skulls. I'll do the surgery.

I knew he'd want a shot at the record
books.

The next available OR flattened at 1
,300. Take it.

Put it in.

Dr. Lubbock, prepare a saline bait.

On it. Dr. Darian, dose us up. Target
seven micrograms of our tiny fizzers per

unit. Where are the cultures?

In the incubator, base level.

Everything okay? Those are adeno
-associated virus. I thought you called

wave nine. Yes, Watson adeno -associated
viruses, type nine.

Wave nine for short.

My coach is Dr. Darien.

What's going on?

It's dead.

It's also dead.

Okay, well, I'll call around. Another
lab's got to have it. No, I made these.

one else will have them.

Okay, then we grow more. It's going to
take weeks. The crops will be long gone

by then.

We see another one.

Also dead.

Ain't too bad it was turned on. It has
to be.

I centrifuge everything that was left in
the culture dishes.

That gives us a usable amount of vector.

Wait.

Seriously?

What?

There's only enough for one dose.

We can save Stevens.

We can save Adam.

Stay tuned for scenes from our next
episode.
