Sweet Girl

3654. We have foot pursuit outside of PNC Park.

3169, here on Stockton Avenue. Heading down.

438972. Suspect description, black jacket, black pants.

Mayor requests we lock down. Lock it down on all four corners.

Copy.

Suspect on foot. I repeat, suspect on foot.

Can we confirm present location of suspect?

Got eyes on the suspect. Following.

Dispatch, 3227. Be advised, suspect is entering PNC Park.

Suspect carrying backpack moving through PNC.

On the move!

Clear the area! Get out of my way!

- I'm on-site. - Move!

Unit One-Two. I got your call. Negative.

We have no visual. We have got no ID at this time.

Suspect is on the roof.

Officers in pursuit.

Ray!

Just come with me, okay?

I'm here to help.

It's over.

Just…

It wasn't supposed to be like this.

No, no, no, no!

The past is like a dream.

- -

There are memories that shape us,

molding us into what we've become.

A mosaic of images and feelings

that offers some truth about how we got here,

even if details have blurred with time.

Sit down.

- You know this is all yours? -

Mm.

What ya lookin' at, man?

I'm lookin' at you, woman.

- I love you. - Love you too.

As the years pass, we realize

we are nothing more than the experiences that made us.

- -

- Hi, Amanda. - Hi.

- Doc. - Mr. Cooper.

Is it back?

Yes. We'll go over the options,

but Infirmam is still the most effective way to cure this type of cancer.

We've already leveraged everything.

The pain has brought us closer together.

And watching her grow… has been to find myself again.

Surprise!

Here, mama. This is for you.

I mean, it's not much, but it's all they had at the gift shop.

- Oh. - Her name is Paloma.

No, it's perfect. Thank you, Mom.

But sometimes I wonder,

"Are these my memories,

or are they hers?"

- -

- - Put your hips into it. Again.

- Ooh. - Ooh, that was clean.

- Lock that wrist so it don't get weak. - It won't!

There are no rules in a fight, people do not...

- Whoa! - Fight fair!

- - How do you win an unfair fight?

Ah!

- You always fight harder. - That's right.

Let me train her, Coop. She's got what it takes.

- That's my sweet girl. -

- Done. - Done?

Thank you, baby.

Go on.

Parents and their children.

Where do we stop and they begin?

Mr. Cooper. Ray.

- Doc. - I have good news.

We just got word

a very effective generic version of Infirmam, called Spero,

is in the final stages of FDA approval.

This is great news, Ray.

Did you do this?

- You did, didn't you? - What?

This was your birthday wish, wasn't it?

I love you. Let's go tell Mom.

- -

We were supposed to start a new medication.

You know when that's supposed to happen?

I… You'll have to talk with Dr. Wu.

Dad, what's happening?

Dr. Wu?

Dr. Wu!

- Hi, Ray. - What's goin' on?

You said Amanda was gonna start Spero soon.

I'm sorry.

Amanda's on my list of patients to see.

The company that makes the generic drug

pulled it off the market.

What are you talkin' about?

BioPrime, the makers of Infirmam,

paid the manufacturer to delay Spero's release.

- Delay? - For how long?

Indefinitely.

Ray.

You told me that my wife was gonna be okay.

I am delivering the same news to three other patients today…

…two of them kids.

I am so sorry.

I'm sorry.

- -

- - Welcome back.

For those just joining, I'm here with BioPrime CEO, Simon Keeley,

and Congresswoman Diana Morgan of Pennsylvania.

Congresswoman Morgan, why are you here today?

Well, I've always taken a hard line against pharmaceutical lobbies

and mass corporations, like BioPrime.

With all due respect, Congresswoman,

BioPrime is unlike any other pharmaceutical company in the world.

- - Our scientists have created

the most effective treatments in the fight against cancer.

Specifically with Infirmam, a drug that has increased life expectancy

in 86% of patients treated.

Mr. Keeley, it is not the efficacy that's in question.

It's the business practices. It's the company's business practices.

I believe that we all have a basic human right

to safe, affordable medication.

Yeah. Um, this talking point of health care as a human right.

Our medicines, they are a matter of research and science.

The investment is not only risky, it is extremely expensive.

All right. We have eager callers that wanna weigh in.

Can you please explain? Because I just don't understand.

It's crazy that a pill can cost that much.

- Yeah, this is, uh, a tricky issue. -

Uh, and don't get fooled by the talking points

of… of politicians from Washington.

Mr. Keeley, according to your own internal documents,

the cost of an entire course of treatment is only four dollars.

You're absolutely right. A… A course of treatment is four dollars.

But it's funny how you failed to mention the billions of dollars spent on…

- Your name? - Ray Cooper.

…rebates, discounts, insurance companies, wholesalers. Look,

I'm here because BioPrime

is committed to healing the world.

And if you look at the numbers, that is exactly what we're doing.

- That is not what you are doing. - All right.

Just to interject, our next caller is from Pittsburgh.

Ray, do you have something to say to Mr. Keeley?

My wife is dying in a hospital because you pulled Spero off the market.

Paying competitors to shelve generic brands of drugs?

That is immoral, Mr. Keeley.

Well…

…Ray…

Is it... Should... Can I?

Uh, I just wanna talk to Ray directly.

Listen.

Uh, first of all, I'd just like to say I'm so sorry

to hear about your wife.

Uh, believe it or not,

BioPrime is dedicated to saving lives.

Saving lives? You're geared towards makin' a profit.

We've already refinanced our house.

I've taken every double shift I can get.

You've already taken everything from me!

Ray, the sad reality is that cancer

is still very often a death sentence.

Uh…

In the short term, what would we give?

What is the cost

of spending just a little bit more time with a loved one?

A year, a… a month, a day?

Mmm, it's impossible to put a price on.

If my wife dies,

it's your death sentence.

I will hunt you down and kill you with my bare hands.

Dad?

- -

What ya lookin' at, man?

I'm lookin' at you, woman.
