Bull

Sir! We're gonna need you to put that case down

and put your hands in the air.

Put down the stolen property

and put your hands in the air, sir.

This isn't stolen property.

I didn't steal anything!

This is mine!

Oh, my God, Marissa, this better be important.

Okay, all right. Well...

Do me a favor, call Benny,

tell him that, uh, I'll pick him up.

And then send me an e-mail with who it is,

what they did, and what they want.

Dr. Edwin Pruitt, undergrad

at Caltech, PhD at MIT.

Widely considered one of the world's leading experts

on Parkinson's disease.

Huh. Wait a second.

Did Marissa explain to you what this man is being accused of?

Not really.

Well, man's basically being accused of being a traitor.

So what exactly did he do?

Broke into a place called Bressadyne Labs

only hours after being fired.

Prosecutor's claiming he stole sensitive genetic materials,

which he had arranged to sell for top dollar to a lab

partially owned by the United Arab Emirates.

Wow.

I need you to understand, I am not a criminal.

I'm a scientist.

I just want to continue my work.

So tell us what you do.

What your work is for this Bressadyne Labs.

Well, my entire career has been devoted to the study

of a single disease, Parkinson's.

Ten months ago,

I found the answer.

Are you saying you found a cure?

An actual cure for Parkinson's disease?

That's what I'm saying.

I mean, certainly there's more work to be done

before it's realized, but, yes, I found a path to the cure.

I know what to do.

Now it's just about having the resources

and wherewithal to do it.

You understand what an audacious statement that is?

I do, but I've spent my whole life fighting this disease.

I wouldn't risk my reputation on something

that's not provable, something that's not certain.

Dr. Pruitt, if that's the case, then why are you here?

Sounds to me like you should be on the cover

of Timemagazine, not in federal lockup.

You'd think so.

When I showed Dr. Alfred Latham, head of Bressadyne Labs,

what it was I found, he was beside himself.

Then, a week after my presentation,

everything changed.

Key members of my staff were transferred.

My funding was cut.

Authorizations for the most mundane tasks were held up.

My work ground to a crawl.

I believe Latham and Bressadyne's board of directors

decided to kill my project.

That doesn't make any sense. Why would they do that?

Greed.

Think about it.

If you don't cure someone,

they keep coming back to buy more treatment.

They're the perfect customer.

So, you're saying they killed

the possibility of a cure for the money?

As soon as I understood what was happening,

what they were doing, I began searching for a new lab

that would actually support my research.

As soon as Bressadyne realized that I was looking around,

talking to other labs, they fired me.

Why did you talk to labs in foreign countries?

I had to.

Every American lab I approached

was terrified of the employment agreement

I'd signed with Bressadyne Labs.

Why?

Because basically it says

Bressadyne owns my work.

All my work.

They're not saying they just own the work I did

during my tenure with them.

They're saying they own every bit

of Parkinson's knowledge in my head

irrespective of when I acquired it.

They're claiming I assigned it all to them. All of it!

Did you?

We understand your position, Dr. Pruitt.

But you signed the contract.

You read it.

And frankly, in your field,

these types of invention assignment provisions

are fairly standard.

I entered into that contract in good faith.

I, I certainly didn't agree to let them bury my work.

I mean, we're talking about a cure

that could potentially help millions of people.

So, Bressadyne fired you,

and then you broke back in to get your...

My studies, my samples, my research.

I need those genetic materials if I'm gonna complete my work.

Well, I respect the hell out of your dedication, Dr. Pruitt,

but there had to be another way.

Yeah, you could have sued Bressadyne,

come to some sort of an arrangement.

Mr. Colón, you said it yourself.

I signed that employment agreement with Bressadyne.

Even if I could have gotten out of that contract,

you're a lawyer-- how long would that have taken?

How many years? How much would it have cost?

I'd be wasting valuable time inside a courtroom

instead of a lab, which is where I need to be.

And I'm not a kid.

Halfway through my 50s.

Time is the one resource I really can't squander.

Be that as it may...I was four years old.

When I was in the car with my grandfather,

he drove right through a red light.

Barely missed hitting a woman walking her dog.

Turns out his foot went stiff. He couldn't hit the brake.

It was early-onset Parkinson's.

He was 49.

My father was 47

when the symptoms first became apparent.

I've had mild tremors

for about 18 months now.

I'm living on borrowed time, gentlemen.

I have all the genetic markers for the disease.

The date's already been set.

I just don't know when it is.

Will you help me?

But you promised we could watch a movie tonight.

I know, sweetie, but a man's in trouble and needs my help.

You'd want someone to help Mommy

if she needed help, wouldn't you?

We didn't even get to finish feeding the ducks.

We always feed the ducks on Saturday.

What if they get hungry?

I bet if you ask your dad really nice,

he'll take you back to give them the rest of the bread.

And...

What if we do a makeup Saturday?

We'll pick a day and just... turn it into a Saturday.

We'll feed the ducks, have pizza for breakfast,

watch a movie.

Oh, my goodness.

Now, which one of you is Mauricio?

Oh.

Sorry.

I'm Rachel. Taylor?

It's a gift. Uh, Erik's just finishing up a phone call.

But it's so great to meet you guys.

I've heard so many good stories.

Really?Yeah.

There's the boy.

You guys got here quick.

Yeah. Well, as soon as I got off the phone with you,

I threw his things in his backpack.

So, you both met Rache.

You betcha, we did.

Can I speak to you for a sec?

I was just baking cupcakes.

Would that interest you at all?

Little bit.RACHEL: A little bit? Come on.

We had a deal, remember?

We said we wouldn't introduce Mauricio

to anyone we hadn't been dating for at least six months,

and we'd tell each other beforehand.

Hey, I didn't put this in motion. You did.

Rachel was already here when you texted.

And the way I read it, you needed

a favor, and I said yes.

You can apologize and thank me later.

Thank you for taking my day at the last minute.

You're very welcome.

Bye, Mauricio! I love you, and I'll miss you!

I'll tell him.Sure, you will.

FBI Special Agent Braxton,

can you sum up your findings?BRAXTON: Well,

the Bureau concluded that Dr. Pruitt

had negotiated a deal

to sell Bressadyne Labs' Parkinson's research

along with his own services to a company

called the Anzir Institute,

a biotech lab in Dubai.

And can you tell us who the majority shareholder is

in the Anzir Institute?

The government of the United Arab Emirates.

And what are the potential ramifications

of a sale of these types of sensitive biological materials

to a foreign government?Well,

most gene therapies that treat disease

involve two elements:

the payload and the transport.

The payload is typically the corrected gene material.
