Ritual

The beast is yet to come!

# In Trinidad there was a family.

# With much confusion as you will see.

# There was a mother and a father

and a boy who had grown.

# Who wanted to marry

have a wife of his own.

# He met a young girl

who suited him nice.

# He went to his father

to ask for advice.

# His father said

"Son, I have to tell you no.

# The girl is your sister

but your mama don't know"

# Woe, woe is me.

# Shame and scandal in the family...

Tonight.

Dori... Dori, listen, I don't know.

- Yes, please, please. You have to.

- No, listen to me. Listen.

I don't think... Oh, no.

Um... No, thank you.

Land here is extraordinarily

valued at millions of dollars.

Agriculture really

isn't the way to go anymore.

- The real value is in tourism.

- Thank you.

I... No, thank you.

I'm seeing hotels, resorts, casinos,

the works, you know?

If you're really serious about this

here's my card. Call me anytime.

- Thank you.

- You're welcome. Oh, honey.

I want you to meet Dr. Matthew Hope.

Doctor, this is my honey

and partner, Scott.

How do you do?

I've just been considering

your lady's real estate, um... Tips.

Such a pleasure.

Wicked, girls.

All alone, Tina? Not for long.

All I want is jerk chicken,

jerk fish, jerk pork, jerk...

More jerk chicken, sir?

She's a work of art,

isn't she, superintendent?

Which I will own someday.

- I don't believe she's for sale.

- Everyone is for sale, doctor.

Really? How's your jerk?

Attention, everybody, please.

Settle, everybody.

Settle.

Thank you.

Now we've all gathered here today

for a very special occasion...

...my baby brother Wesley's birthday.

Now I know you were

all looking forward.

...to partying with the

island wildman, as I was...

...but unfortunately Dr. Winsvold

has informed me.

...that Wesley is feeling

a bit under the weather.

So if you'll join me in a toast

to Wesley's good health.

- To Wesley.

- To Wesley.

Rock on.

Dori, listen, I know I said I'd help you.

...but it's just too dangerous right now...

You said it would be easy

to do a DNA test.

...to tell who the father of the baby is.

It's too dangerous.

No, stop this, please. Dori, I...

Come on, please, you promised.

Dori, this is very dangerous.

Oh, my God, Dori, this...

Dori, we shouldn't be doing this.

Dori, we should... Just...

God.

Please, please, please. The test first.

- No, no.

- Yes, sir.

I'll be more relaxed when I know, yeah?

Yeah? Please?

Uh-huh.

Oh, dear.

Oh, God.

My God. Oh, my God.

Aah!

Aah! Aah!

Aaaah!

Aaah!

Doctor?

Doctor?

He's dead.

Move, move, move, move!

Squeeze my hand.

Hey.

Help me.

I will, honey.

How close are we to maximum dosage?

We're there.

Dr. Javitz.

Dr. Javitz.

Oh, Alice, you're going down?

- No. Dr. Javitz, it's Jenny Garcia.

- I know. Nothing's working.

I know you said no to the Raptomycin,

but we've got nothing to lose.

Alice, for God's sake, that's enough.

The review board takes a long time

to determine compassionate use...

...and you don't want me

to repeat my speech.

...on the use of non-FDA-approved drugs

and disastrous career consequences.

- This child is not gonna make it...

- Do not turn me into the heartless...

...crusty head of a department

who's going to be making speeches.

...about liability and insurance companies

and all that crap.

You know better.

Hey, Phil, can I have

an amp of Raptomycin?

Dr. Javitz and the review board gave you

the thumbs up for compassionate use?

- Do you have it in writing?

- Phil, I'm in a huge hurry.

I don't have time for this.

I got the approval.

You know what they say...

...no good deed goes unpunished.

It's a chance I'll have to take.

Code blue!

If you expect me to jump on a chair,

don't hold your breath.

How about a piece of cheese?

Help me.

"Dear Dr. Dodgson.

You are a talented doctor...

...a caring person,

and under no circumstances.

...should you blame yourself

for Jenny's death.

However, by prescribing Raptomycin.

...and disobeying my specific instructions...

...you have compromised

this institution's legal standing.

I have no choice but to recommend

that your license be suspended.

...for no less than two years.

Yours, Dr. Javitz. "

Dr. Javitz.

Yes, it's... it's Alice Dodgson.

Yeah, I'm calling to...

to ask you for a favor...

...if you think that's appropriate.

Um, I realize that I can't practice

medicine for the next two years...

...but there is a medical referral service...

...and they're offering

an overseas position.

which doesn't require a license.

Yeah, the patient was diagnosed

with atypical lymphocytosis...

...slipped into a coma twice last year.

Lives in Jamaica

in some out of the way place.

They want someone

to give supportive care.

Well, I'm calling you because...

'Cause I...

Well, they do ask for a reference.

And although I do have other references...

I... I think that they should know

why I had my license suspended.

...before they decide whether or not

they want to hire me.

Welcome. Welcome.

Welcome. Welcome to Jamaica.

Hope you enjoy your stay.

Hey. How you doin'?

I am fine, baby girl.

And you're very fine, too, you know.

But me at work now.

Normally, I would love

to make your acquaintance.

...and show you a good time...

...but me have to work.

I'm... I'm Dr. Dodgson.

I'm J.B. I'm sorry. Can I help you?

No, I'm fine.

- Yes.

- Actually, very fine.

Yes, yes, yes.

So, you're from New York?

Yeah, mon.

Me want to go to New York

and live there, you know.

Really? I thought

Jamaica was like a paradise.

For tourists. For Jamaicans,

life is very hard, you know.

Why does everyone

carry machetes?

For work, and for protection.

Are the mountains dangerous?

Mmm.

Some parts, yes.

Like I say, life can be very hard here.

The people are very, very poor.

The Claybourne estate

is up there in the mountains.

Sugarcane fields, mango...

Ugli fruit as far as the eye can see.

What's going on up there?

They are burning

the sugarcane to bring in the harvest.

It's a seasonal ting, you know.

Hey, that's my father up there.

- You mind if I say hello?

- No.

Go ahead.

Help me.

Oh.

I'm sorry. Are you all right?

I'm... I'm great.

It's really hot. I shouldn't have

stopped so close to the fire.

Oh, no, no... No problem.

You know, my father's like you.

He's a doctor.

Oh, really? What school did he go to?

No school. He's originally from Haiti.

He's what you call a houngan,

a kind of voodoo priest, a healer.

I want the full amount

wired to Luxembourg.

Yeah, I know I agreed to pay you

and the others from the escrow.

I just think this

is much cleaner and safer.

Yeah. I'll call you right back.

I have somebody I want you to meet.

- Dr. Alice Dodgson.

- Paul Claybourne.

Well, welcome to Wonderland, Alice.

Come in. J.B., could you get Violette

to get us something cold to drink?

- Yeah, mon.

- Let's step out on the terrace.

It's much cooler out there.

So Dr. Javitz told me

that you're a wonderful doctor.
