Eleventh Hour 10/9/08

Dr. Jacob hood is a scientific investigator. He is in Seattle investigating the possible cloning of babies. They have found 19 jars of medical waste they later determine to be attempts at cloning a human.

There is a pregnant woman, carrying a cloned baby. Her ex is a wife beater, he sees her in the grocery store and knocks her around. She is rescued by a strange woman, who describes herself as "your own personal nurse." They go to a warehouse where they have set up a makeshift clinic. She is in danger of losing the baby.

The man paying for the cloning is called Gipetto, like Pinocchio's father. Can't have a boy, you make your own. Dr. Hood and his body guard search the society pages and find a billionaire who has lost his son.

Meanwhile, the pregnant mom goes to the hospital after some serious bleeding. She'd been warned not to, she has a young boy and they have told her that DHS would take him if she did go to the hospital. They did. Once she is feeling better, she leaves her room, finds her boy and vanishes.

The cloning team finds her at her apartment. The police who have been monitoring suspicious pregnancies find out where she lives and go to her apartment. The ex gets there first and the personal nurse stabs him in the neck with scissors. When the Dr. and his body guard get there, the ex is still alive, the mom is gone, and the young boy is hiding in the room.

Dr. Hood asks the police to help him, but it might cost the police man his job.

The cloners are in another makeshift hospital. The girl is resting, the ob is scared he's going to jail, the personal nurse injects hims with something and he passes out.

The Dr. goes to the dad's house. They try to convince him that he needs to let his dead son go. They discuss their individual losses, the dad says when his son died his life was over. The dad says he just wants to see his son again. The doctor pulls out one of the jars with the dead cloned baby inside and opens it up and gives it to him. The doctor says his son is not his DNA, but every moment he ever spent with his father, every meal his mother had ever made him. Every moment his son lived is what made him his son.

The dad reveals to the doctor where they have taken the girl, the team goes and when they enter the clinic they hear the hum of a flatline. Another woman is performing CPR on the girl, the "personal nurse" attacks the body guard and gets beat up.

The doctor discovers that Gipetto is the woman performing CPR. She stops and leaves once her identity has been revealed. The doctor and the body guard try to revive her, which they do. But she lost he baby. She also cannot have any more babies.

The doctor gets a call on his cell and tells his body guard they have a situation they need to get to.

****Good, but not great. It is a Jerry Bruckheimer production, so we'll be giving it more chances.
