TVTranscript
00:00Before, there's a darkness to it, and it has a feeling of unease.
00:08Dr. Eli Adler, he's a very successful child psychiatrist, dealing with the loss of his wife.
00:14Grief does strange things to people.
00:17What's with the farmhouse?
00:19Just some picture I found.
00:25Then this little boy, Noah, walks into his life.
00:28This child has been through five foster families in two years.
00:32The county eval is going to get him sent straight to state hospital.
00:35But there's something about him. Why did he come to me?
00:38I just want to do this one last one, and then I'm out.
00:40What's happening behind these eyes? There's horror there.
00:44What is it, Noah? What are you thinking?
00:46I know what you did.
00:50I don't understand.
00:52Eli.
00:54You will see a Billy Crystal that you have never seen before.
00:59I always thought I'd work with Billy, but never quite like this.
01:03To find this was thrilling.
01:05It is so not my world, but it is now.
01:08Comedy and drama are right next to each other.
01:10If you do them right, you've got to make audiences feel the story.
01:14I relished the chance to stretch and do things I'd never had to do before.
01:19That's what you crave as an actor.
01:21Eli was the most challenging role I've ever had to play.
01:24And probably the most satisfying.
01:27I love the fact that I needed to work so hard at unraveling Noah's problem
01:32that it unraveled Eli's at the same time.
01:35What's the link between Lynn, Noah, and Eli?
01:38I'm looking for a scientific explanation for what's going on here.
01:41Not everything is based in fact.
01:43Just the things that are real.
01:46It's a psychological thriller.
01:48Whatever your past trauma is, if you don't deal with it, it will haunt you.
01:55There's a reason why he found me.
02:00Eli.
