The Lottery

_

Five years and counting and still remaining

that tragic mystery. Why have women stop having babies?

_

All may be contributing factors.

_

Woman: Maybe infertility isn't caused by the disease.

Maybe infertility is the disease.

Man: Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.

My fellow Americans, we have endured a period of hopelessness

without parallel in human history.

The Global Fertility Crisis has devastated our most fundamental dreams.

Our maternity wards here and around the world are now empty.

We've spent these last five years searching for causes and solutions,

while living with the possibility of human extinction.

Our efforts to solve this mystery have been relentless and comprehensive...

And unsuccessful.

Until today.

This is the first step on our journey to restore our future...

The future of all humanity.

There are still many hurdles ahead,

but let us stop and appreciate this moment.

Let this be a night we will never forget.

Buy you a drink?

No, thanks.

The bar bed is open.

They've got a good one.

I don't do bar beds.

You know, I fathered a daughter nine years ago.

I have her picture.

I'm sorry. It's a pass.

I'd like a dirty Martini.

It's last call.

Then you better hurry.

How's your night?

I don't know yet. Just started.

You know everything's closing, right?

Sometimes you just want to skip to the end of the movie

and get to the good part.

Put it on my tab.

You said you like it dirty.

I was very clear about that.

My name is Bryan.

Bryan.

I thought your name was Gregor.

No. That's Gregor.

Thanks, Gregor.

I'm really surprised how this turned out.

Yeah. Me too.

I mean, I don't usually get picked up by women.

Women look for the wrong things.

I happen to like your premature hair loss.

It indicates a high level of testosterone.

And your features show Somalian blood.

Somalia used to have the highest fertility rate in the world.

Wait, how did... how did you know I had Somalian blood?

Lucky guess.

No, you knew. How'd you know?

Room's paid for. Enjoy it.

Ow!

Say, Elvis, is somebody picking on you at school?

- No. - Well, what, then?

Everybody is bigger than me.

They're older than you, but you're gonna catch up.

I get scared.

And the mask helps?

Look, Elvis, if it were up to me, I'd let you wear it,

but your school's got a no-superhero policy.

Why?

Probably because they don't want

the kids to have more power than the teachers.

Do you ever get scared?

Yeah.

That's normal.

Blood sugar's low, Superman.

Go grab a juice.

Can I sit in the front seat?

No.

That's the last time, okay?

Come on.

Morning, Elvis.

- Is that her? - Yeah.

Yeah?

Hey, don't forget... you have after care today, right?

Why?

Well, because I got a job outside the city.

I'll take you for a burger tonight?

Big Shot Bob's?

Big Shot Bob's, yes.

Hey, you're Jaden's mom.

I'm Molly. It's Kyle, right?

Right, yeah. Elvis tells me you comb his hair.

Elvis is such a lovely boy.

He doesn't like getting his hair combed.

Oh.

He didn't say anything.

Well, that's 'cause he's 6 years old.

I'm sorry.

Kyle, no one means any harm.

We know his mother's gone, and it can't be easy being a single dad.

I mean, he's one of the Last Six.

He means so much to us.

We're happy to help with Elvis...

Watch him, feed him, anything. Yeah.

Look, Molly.

He's not a pet, he's a kid,

and he just wants to be normal, so leave him alone.

Sounds good.

This is Vanessa.

What?

So he's at the hospital, not the police station?

Okay, I-I'll be there as soon as I can.

[Shouting, chanting "No more tests!"] Officer: Stay back!

Protest's over. We have a constitutional right!

They can't take my eggs without my permission!

I'm tired of the government treating me like an animal!

Ma'am, stop moving forward...

Go to hell! And put your hands above your head.

Hey! Hey! This is a legal assembly.

These people have... Okay, you know what?

Gun! No!

It's a badge. It's a badge.

I work for the White House. I'm the Chief of Staff.

Sorry about that.

Woman over P.A.: Dr. Freeman, call extension 2235.

Dr. Freeman, please call extension 2235.

Officer Lopez.

I'm Vanessa Keller.

Hi. Nice to meet you.

Sorry about all of this.

It's not your fault, believe me.

He got aggressive when I tried to take him in,

so... I had to get aggressive back.

Doctor said he's okay, just needed some stitches.

Just so you know, I have a friend at BPD.

He called me and told me what happened.

Right.

How long have you been on the job?

- Five years. - It's great training.

In fact, a good friend of mine is with the FBI,

assistant director.

- He started as a cop. - Oh, really?

I actually applied to the FBI last month.

Oh.

Well, if there's anything I can do to help.

Counterfeit fertility drugs?

Really?

Do you have any idea...

I didn't know that they were fake.

Shut up, Nick.

Just shut your damn mouth and stop lying... for once.

Look, V., the real pills, they weren't working, either,

so what the hell's the difference?

You are exploiting desperate women.

Selling lies.

I'm selling hope.

What's so horrible about that?

You don't stop, do you?

For 50 bucks, those women, they went home feeling better about themselves.

Like they had a chance at winning something big, hitting the jackpot.

That's all an Average Joe wants...

A chance at something great.

This is a fertility crime.

Do you know what could have happened to you?

Could have?

Ah, so that means that, uh...

Yes, he is not filing charges, but this is the last time, Nick.

I'm not doing this for you anymore.

Do this for me?

Let's be real, V. You did this for you.

I mean, Chief of Staff's brother doing time?

That's bad for business.

Might tarnish that blue-collar, rags-to-riches image

you work so hard to cultivate.

I'm Kyle. Dr. Sue referred me.

Great. I just started ovulating.

Alison: What about the antral follicle counts?

Normal levels, and there's no indication of the typical disease patterns.

Rachael, you might want to record this.

Behold... The first viable human embryo...

In six years.

- Holy shit. - Yeah.

We did it.
