Lorenzo is showing improvement like swallowing for himself and answering "Yes" and "No" questions by blinking, he has also regained his eyesight and is learning to use a computer. The credits roll showing children who were treated with the oil Augusto had created.

Audio problem: When Augusto has the nightmare with the voice counting in Italian (right before he realizes that the two enzymes are the same), the word for 16 is wrong. The voice says "diciassei," but the word is actually "sedici."

Professor Nikolias: Do you know how many children die every year from choking on french fries? Many more than from Adrenoleukodistrophy. You see, ours is what is known as an orphan disease, too small to be noticed, too small to be funded, especially with the iron hand of "Reganomics."
