"Wake up." "Wake up." "Hello." "Is this geoff?" "Yeah." "This is samuel, here." "We were expecting you this morning." "Oh, samuel, uh..." "I completely passed out." "Okay." "We'll see you soon." "Geoff burton for samuel mead, please." "Injecting room here, got your stereo microscope..." "Quarantine room for incoming animals..." "Microscope room with confocal imaging station." "All the usual stuff." "Spinning disc confocal..." "Two photon confocals..." "Upright confocals with dipping lenses..." "All the laser lines you could wish for..." "Anything to make science beautiful." "We've got a cold room." "We've got a microbial culture room" "The auto glazer, downstairs." "Um, there's an elevator?" "How's your accommodation, geoffrey?" "Oh, fine, fine." "I was just wondering where my office" "Is gonna be." "Oh, we don't really do offices, per se." "We're more communal than that." "Of course, we can loan you a lab" "For the duration of a given project." "Right." "Look who I've found..." " Dr. Burton." " Dr. Fiedler." "Rebekka's come a long way" "Since she was interned with you." "Yes, so I hear." "I'm sorry, I can't leave this right now." "We'll catch up later." "Great." " Shall we continue?" " Yes." "That way." "Now, there's something else we need to do." "Sorry, I didn't..." "Erm..." "Anyway..." "Let's get your security pass sorted out." "Son of a bitch." "Oh, geoff..." "How are you?" "I'm fine." "You?" "Hmm..." "I'm good." "Setting up the new research lab." "Uh, the one in munich, right?" "Uh, no." "Dresden, remember?" "You must be happy." "What's that supposed to mean?" "It's..." "It's nothing." " Forget about it." " Hey, babe." "I'm home." "Hold on for a second." "So, uh..." "What's up?" "I heard about your news." "When were you planning to tell me?" "I was going to tell you." "I really was..." "I'm in my second month and I..." "I wasn't quite sure, and..." "I didn't tell anyone else." "Well, joe and carla knew." "Oh." "No, that was..." "That was ben." "Right..." "Ben." "He was excited about the baby" "So he jus-just told them, you know?" "You're angry." "No..." "Of course..." "I'm not angry." "I'm just..." "I dunno, I gotta think about it." "Think about what?" "Well what do you want me to say?" "Congratulations?" "Maybe you could be happy for me." "What do you want?" "Why did you call me?" "I don't know why I called." "I miss you." "I have to go." "Geoffrey burton comes to us from umass," "Where his research into the early detection" "Of embryonic abnormalities..." "One of the more, uh, furiously debated topics" "Of the scientific community this decade." "Now, I don't need to tell you" "What the implications of this are..." "The proverbial cure for cancer" "Has always eluded us." "The potential of prenatal discovery" "Certainly brings the possibility a few steps closer." "To continue his research in a rather less politicized environment." "And he's going to speak to us all this morning..." "About the state of his work to date." "When you're ready." "Thank you." "Would you now all please join me" "In welcoming..." "Geoffrey burton." "Thank you." "Thank you, samuel." "I never intended to become a geneticist." "My ph.D. Was actually on bacterial biochemistry." "But, as I'm sure many of you know" "I was drawn to this by my experience" "With my own son..." "To focus my research on screening embryos" "For traces of rare genetic mutations." "Such as his." "I want to make one thing very clear:" "I'm not trying to develop new techniques" "To prescreen people with brown eyes or dark skin..." "Or freckles." "I like freckles." "Diversity..." "One of the things" "Which defines us as a species" "Is to be celebrated." "Mutations..." "Which endanger human life..." "Are not." "For example..." "Here we see the subject" "In the earliest stages..." "The disease is non-contagious" "In the traditional sense." "Yet, at the same time, unusually virulent." "I've allowed myself the conceit of calling it..." "Burton syndrome." "What made this syndrome noteworthy" "Was its sudden appearance" "In what appeared to be a perfectly healthy subject." "Within a matter of days, the..." "Symptoms had manifested" "As a number of neoplasms..." "Exponentially multiplying and growing in size." "These, uh..." "Tumor-like appendages" "Eventually cover the entire body," "As we can see." "Respiration became increasingly difficult..." "Began to affect internal organs..." "Crushing the heart..." "Constricting the lungs." "Brain activity ceased shortly thereafter." "From first symptoms to death," "The entire process took little over a week." "What made this unique was that this was not" "An acquired disease like a virus," "But a seemingly..." "Random genetic mutation..." "Occurring in the gene rip-5 on chromosome 20." "Alright." "Let's take a closer look at some tissue samples." "May I sit here?" "People don't want to know" "The way things happen." "This fish, for example..." "No one wants to think of it..." "Suffocating..." "In agony." "We just want to fry it..." "Eat it..." "Forget." "Same with science." "People want the cure..." "But not the research." "It makes them uncomfortable," "Knowing how you got there," "What you had to do." "To what..." "It's true." "I would like to live a million years..." "Just to see what we evolve into." "Do we become telepathic?" "Do we get wings?" "I would like wings." "And you..." "What would you like?" "I don't know, uh..." "I can be a time traveler." "You know, travel through time," "Backwards and forwards..." "Chiba..." "I don't think your patent's done yet." "Hello." "I'm jarek novak." "Geoffrey burton." "We actually met yesterday." "I almost..." "Liberated your mouse." " I didn't know it was you." " It's me." "Your lecture, I really like it." "Great images." "Thank you..." "I guess." "I was thinking..." "Maybe you would like to have a look" "At some things I've been working on." "We kind of, similar vein, you know?" "Yeah?" "Why not?" "Good." "We should have a drink." " Sure." " What about tonight?" "Excuse me a minute." "Excuse me." "Sorry." "No, thank you." "I quit." " You quit?" " Yeah." "I guess it has been a while" "Since I've seen you last." "Yeah, that was your choice." "I'm sorry." "You know, I..." "I don't want it to be awkward." "I don't, either." "You know, I have been watching you, though." "You know, I've been watching you rise." "Read all your papers." "Very impressive." "You're the one who got samuel" "To approach me, right?" "You know, I..." "I felt like I'd hit a wall" "With my research, and..." "You know I-I heard what you were dealing with" "In america, so..." "I thought, perhaps, you'd like to come over." "I, uh..." "I don't know, I..." "To be honest, I didn't expect you to say yes." "What have I said "yes" to?" "I can show you." "Let's go back." "Good, 'cause my ass is cold." "Have a seat." "Okay..." "So..." "Now, here..." "Okay, this is a typical regeneration cycle," "About ten weeks from amputation to full regeneration." "Yes?" "Yes." "Okay, so now..." "Watch this one." "Did you see?" "Uh..." "Missed it." "I'll play it again." "Watch closely." "You're kidding, right?" "That's not possible." "When I inserted the easter gene," "I found it accelerated the natural regeneration capacity" "Of the axolotls way beyond anything" "I could have imagined." "But, since then, I've refined" "The genetic code further." "Just..." "Wait a minute." "What easter gene?" "What are you talking about?" "Look." "I labeled only the transplanted" "Easter gene cells..." "With a gfp." "They were localized in the wound area," "But then they completely took over." "Look for yourself." "That's, uh..." "I've even had success regenerating severely damage" "Brain and spinal tissue." "I mean, can you imagine the possibilities" "For this in humans?" "Jesus christ..." "Exactly..." "Easter." "Why haven't you published this?" "I don't know." "A discovery is not a cure." "Even so, I mean..." "It won't even uptake in mice." "What happens when you try?" "Nothing." "I've been stuck for six month, now." "And then, I thought, if anybody could help me" "With the molecular mechanism..." "To help me activate it in mammals..." "Hmm..." "You know, I'm sorry, I've got an appointment" "With samuel right now, but what do you think" "About, you know, discussing this later," "Over dinner?" " Yep." " At my place?" " What are you doing tonight?" " Nothing." "Hm." "I can cook something for you." " German?" " I like german." "Don't worry." "It's not a date." "Hey!" "Hey..." "Looks like we are having a drink tonight, after all." "It is not together." "Come on, I'll give you a lift." "I'm not going back to the guest house, so..." "It's cold." "Come on." "Alright." "Want to try electrical cigarette?" "Uh, no." "I've got my own." "Real cigarette." "Ah..." "I'm sorry, but, uh..." "It's a non-smoking car." "Of course." "Sorry." "It's okay." "Where are we going?" "Oh, right..." "Sorry, uh..." "Uh.." "Fodenhau..." "Foten..." "Can I see it?" "Ah, pfotenhauerstrasse..." "Yes." "I know it." "Good." "That's where we're going." "I know you, also..." " ..." "Very well." " Yeah, you do?" " Yes, the science." " Hmm." "We are the same, both of us." "How do you figure?" "You know..." "Taking risks, whatever it takes." "A new, brave world." "Yeah, I haven't read that one." "I have ideas." "You have saved myself, uh, brilliant experiments." "You could be part of them." "Well, that's a very kind offer," "My work's kind of a full time thing right now" "Why'd we stop?" "You know mosquitos, bed bugs, fleas, ticks..." "They're all vectors for disease, yes?" "But instead of spreading sickness," "Why not change the formula?" "Make them carry genetically modified viruses..." "Antigenes for their own plague." "Imagine releasing this in the third world..." "In africa." "Hm?" "They're going to be bitten, anyway." "So why not let them catch..." "Malaria vaccine, instead?" "But then, first you would have to..." "Invent the malaria vaccine, right?" "You don't think it's possible?" "I didn't say that." "You know stalin, mao tse-tung...?" "Both of them believed you could transfer ideology" "By breeding one indoctrinated generation to the next." "And, eventually, you would get" "Genetically programmed communists." "I mean, I know this sounds maybe a little..." "Crazy..." "But..." "There were some really good ideas in there." "But, look, uh..." "What good ideas are we talking about, really?" " You're not getting my point." " What is your point?" "There is the idea..." "And there is making people believe in the idea." "And that is the key to scientific freedom." "And financing." "Exactly." "And you need that freedom" "To be able to get the good ideas." "Because they can come from unexpected places." "Like your son, for example." "You know..." "I'm gonna walk from here." "Say hello to rebekka from me." "So why didn't you call me?" "I could have picked you up." "I got a lift." "Well, sort of..." "Half a lift." "From that jarek guy at the institute." "What's up with that guy?" "I don't have much to do with him." "Oh." "Don't you get enough of these at work?" "I find them beautiful." "You know, they are such strange and resourceful organisms." "There is nothing quite like them on earth." "Mm-hmm." "You don't agree?" "I kinda always saw them as redundant." "You know, genetic dead ends." "But, then again, after what I saw today..." "Who knows?" "What about this?" "They're called wunderkammer." "What?" "Wunderkammer." "To display things that hadn't been classified yet." "I'm creating new wonders." "So you're an artist, now, and a scientist." "Come on, let's eat something." " Alright, go on." " You're not in training, so..." " Tell me." " What?" "Tell me." " What?" " What do you think?" "Tell you what?" "About this easter gene of yours." "Why do you think I'm here?" "I'll tell you everything, on one condition." "Okay." "You have to agree to work with me." "Yeah, okay." "Sure." "To fruitful collaborations." " Okay, that's good..." " Okay." "Because I need your brain." "Just my brain." "Alright, a little much..." "You had a big impact on me, you know..." "Did I?" "You were this unreachable..." "Kind of..." "Star scientist..." "Whatever." "Intelligent and..." "Inspiring, and..." "Intimidating, of course, too, sometimes." " Hmm." " I mean, even now..." "What you're doing, it's..." "Brave, I suppose." "Why is that?" " Forget about it." " No, no, no, no..." "I think I'm a little drunk." "You tell me." "Just..." "Using your son like that..." "In the lecture..." "I can't imagine what that must be like." "I'm sorry." " That's alright." " I didn't mean to say that." "Yeah you did." "Come on, geoff." "I'm not criticizing you." "You know I haven't published" "Anything significant in four years?" "Publish or perish, remember?" "Isn't that what we used to say?" "They were forcing me out of umass." "But you knew that, right?" "They were cutting my funding" "Until my lab was unworkable..." "Waiting for me to quit." "They couldn't fire me." "That would make them look bad." "You know, my boy..." "He was the only case." "And it killed him." "I'm just trying to find something positive" "Out of all this." "You know if..." "I don't, then..." "What's the point?" "But you've made progress." "I think I should go." " I'm still a little tired, jet lagged..." " Geoff..." "Dinner was nice." "I'm gonna go." "Wait..." "You look nice, by the way." "See you tomorrow." "No fucking idea... hi, it's sarah." "I am not available" "At the moment, please leave a mess..." "Scheisse." "[Shit]" "Where is it?" "Put it in the fridge." "She will notice if we take anymore." "She's got a whole rack of them." "Anyway, we are doing her a favor." "Her research is a dead end." "You're such a thoughtful guy..." " So devoted to her..." " Fuck off." "Pass me the next one." "Come on, it is not time for sleep." "Okay, wait." "I have some pussy remedy for you." "One for me..." "And one for you." "Take it." "Aaaaaaah..." "Okay." "You know margaret thatcher..." "Our woman?" "She only sleep four hours a night" "Huh?" "Think about it." "None of it was beauty sleep." "Very strong woman." "I know that." "I'm hungry." "I need to eat something." "I'm hungry, I need to eat something." "Okay." "Let's take a break, come on." "Take it off." "You know, margaret thatcher sleep, uh.." "Maybe 12 years in her life." "Normal person..." "Sleeping... 25 years." "You... 50." "Ow!" "Son of a bitch." " Hello." " Hello." "What are you doing here?" "Just working late." "In the mouse house..." "Is that where I am?" "These hallways all look the same." "Excuse me." "What's wrong?" "I don't know." "He's in pain." "Do something." "Help him." "He's in pain..." "What's he doing with you?" "Come on..." "Uh..." "Ah, shit." "I'm sorry." "Okay..." "Excuse me..." "I love your genes." "Yes." "Oh, geoffrey..." "Excellent timing." "Come in." "Take a seat." "Geoffrey burton..." "Jarek novak." "Yes." "We've, uh, met." "Jarek and rebekka made the initial breakthrough" "With the easter gene." "I presume she's filled you in by now." "Yeah, she mentioned it." "I'm sure jarek, here, can bring you up to speed." "Yes." "You're staying at the guest house, right?" "Mm-hmm." "I can just pop by when it suits you." "What is your room number?" "Oh, well, just..." "I'll call you." " You have my number?" " No." "I'm sure someone can help you." "He means well, he just forgets, sometimes," "He's not the only horse on the track." "Yeah, but do you trust him?" "I trust all my staff." "Yeah?" "Yeah." "Yeah." "Mm-hmm." "Danke." "[Thank you]" "Danke schön." "[Thank you very much]" " Bad news?" " Hmm?" "Just the usual administrative headaches." "Our funders are very generous," "They allow us a good deal of latitude..." "But they're just so impatient." "And that's where I come in?" "You're an asset to our team, geoffrey." "You wouldn't be here if you weren't." "But I do admit, I hope you're excited" "About what jarek has to show you..." "Perhaps even enough to give him the benefit" "You see, that's where I'm still confused." "I'm sorry, but..." "Are you asking me to collaborate" "With both jarek and rebekka?" "Well, that's up to you." "I can hardly tell you to stop your own research," "After all, I mean..." "That's why you're here." "But you must admit," "This is a rather unique opportunity." "See, I was under the impression" "That this was rebekka's project," "That the easter gene was..." "Her discovery." " Always bickering over who did what, and when - yeah..." "Actually, geoffrey..." "Just between you and I..." "This is a bit of a tricky situation." "Rebekka has refused to collaborate with him any further." "Yeah?" "Why is that?" "I don't know, but I can hardly" "Throw him off the project." "So what's he working on down there?" "I've got him doing some genotyping..." "Tinkering away, alone in the dark." "It's what suits him best." "On mice." "On axolotls." "He does have some..." "Mice thing..." "His pet project..." "Viral vectors, and so forth." "Geoffrey..." "Meet with him." "I like to thaw him out, sometimes." "Is there something wrong?" "No, no..." "I'm just..." "Trying to get my bearings, is all." "Excuse me." "I'm just finishing up some embryos." "It's so funny, I thought this morning" "We are like the yin and yang of mitosis." "You work on cell proliferation out of control, cancer..." "Me, on perfect cell harmony." "So what's the story with that jarek guy?" "What do you mean?" "What about him?" "I don't know." "Just seems kinda secretive." "It's kinda weird." "I don't know, samuel thinks he's some kind of genius." "And with you?" "What do you mean?" "Were you and he ever, uh..." "Are you joking?" "Just asking." "So what's he actually working on?" "I don't know what he's working on." "He doesn't want to tell me." "To be honest, I don't really care." "Something related to the easter gene, maybe." "Scheisse." "[Shit]" "Rebekka, samuel told me." " Told you what?" " About the easter gene..." "It wasn't just your discovery, was it?" " It's my discovery." " But not yours, alone." "I'm not a liar, geoff." "Look, I just want to know" "What you're getting me into, here." "You say we're working together, fine..." "But I don't even know whose..." "Research it is, anymore." "I-I don't even know who's involved." "Jarek isn't involved in what I'm doing." " You did work with him." " Only briefly..." "In the very early stages." "I didn't like his style." "He was too reckless." "He tried to dominate my project." "I threatened to quit" "If samuel didn't take him off." "In the end, I won." "Well, according to samuel, he's still on it." "It's cosmetic." "You might want to see this." " Where did you get this?" " I retrieved it..." "From the mouse house, and I suggest you change your locks." "Jarek's got a clandestine lab set up, and I'm..." "Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure he's trialling your easter gene" "On mice." "What do you want to do about it?" " I'll deal with it." " How?" " I'll talk to samuel." " Why?" "Why don't we..." " ..." "Just confront..." " It won't help." "It's my research, okay?" "I want to deal with it my way." "You have to trust me." "Okay." "Do something, geoff." "Help him." "I'll take care of it, okay?" "I'll fix it." "I'm gonna take just a little bit of blood." "Just a minute." "Hi." "What's with the glove?" "I, um..." "Just doing some dishes." "So..." "What are you doing here?" "I'm taking you to the party." " Haven't you seen the signs?" " No." "It's our big..." "Anyal..." " "Annual." - ..." "Annual get-together." "You have to come." "Everybody will be there." "I don't think so." "You have no choice..." "You're my date." "Woop!" "Looks like you got started early." "Is that wrong?" "No." " You want some more?" " Bitte. [Please]" "What?" "You know what that means, "bitte?" [Please]" " No." " Yeah, I thought so." "So what's up with the trench coat?" "Holy shit." "It's an axolotl!" "Don't you get it?" "Me, the axolotl woman..." "Woo." " right, 'cause..." " It's a costume party!" " I see." "Aww, come on..." " ..." "I have an idea for you." " Oh, god." "Come." "Come on." "Ooh!" "I'm sorry!" "This is insane." "This guy's trying to steal your..." "Geoff, you know, I don't want" "To create a fuss, okay?" "I know how to handle jarek." "It has to be done discreetly." "Uh huh." "Listen to me, I know what I saw." "They were fully grown mice, not embryos." "Geoff, please, can you just..." "Can you just leave it?" "Just for tonight, please?" "I-I..." "I want to have some fun," "Feel human for a change, please." "Okay?" "Just tonight." "One night?" "Promise?" "Promise." "Now, hold still." "One more thing..." "Just, wait..." "What?" "You know, it's not boston." "I'm not your intern, anymore." "You don't have to feel guilty." "Why did you bring me here?" "Hm?" "Hold still." "Was it for work, or was it to start something again?" "What if I said both?" "Then I'd say it's not a very good idea." "It's not that I don't think you're attractive;" "I do." "It just feels too..." "Yeah, okay." " You're finished." " What?" " Rebekka..." " Here, put that on." "I'll go warm up the car." "Hey." "Oh, there they are." "Hey, woo!" "Hey!" "Have you both met?" "I need a drink." "Do you want anything?" "Thanks." "They dream." "Did you know that?" "When drosophila lose contact from the ground..." "They fly!" "It is instinct." "So we put them in a flight simulator..." "And blow banana wind..." "Smell of banana!" "Eventually, they sleep from exhaustion," "Yet we still detect brain activity" "From olfactory bulbs..." "Representing the patterned reaction" "To banana smell!" "Which means..." "Sleeping fruit fly dream of banana!" "Are you her new boyfriend?" "Think you will get lucky tonight, huh?" "You've been there before, right?" "Professor's privilege?" "By the way..." "I want my mouse back." "Your mouse?" "Yes." "My mouse." "Give me one good reason" "Why I wouldn't just go to samuel" "And tell him what you're up to." "What I'm up to?" "Tell me." "What am I up to?" "Well, I know you've stolen rebekka's research." "I saw your stupid lap dog break into the lab." "There is no "her research" and "my research."" "We are just one big organism." "Did someone tell you that?" "No?" "Well, you see, that would..." "Make "your mouse" "our mouse," then." "And our mouse tells me..." "You've been trialling the easter gene on animals." "I also know it's working." "What I don't know, is..." "How you did it." "So, go on." "Tell me how you did it." "I guess you will have to wait and read my paper." "Like everybody else." "Stop!" "Stop it!" "You want doctor?" "It's his own fault." "Fuck him." "Come." "Hello." "I'm sorry." "It's going to need some serious stitches." "You okay?" "Hey..." "What?" "No." "No." "Geoff, what are you doing?" "Let's make it right." "You're awake." "Oh, your fever is gone." "You really scared me last night." "What are you doing?" "It's quite the dossier, here." "You always go through people's stuff?" "You didn't want me to see it, why is it just lying around?" "You know, I saw jarek at the club." "We had a nice little chat." "Why?" "Why did you do that?" "Why not?" "I saw him grab you, I saw you..." "Talkin' to him last night, after work." "That's what I thought." "So, what..." "...What do you want me to say?" "How about the truth?" "Okay, I had a little fling with jarek." "So what?" "It was stupid." "So stupid." "At least I knew who I was fucking." "You called me sarah last night." "I was delirious." "What's your excuse?" "Why do I need one?" "Listen, I don't care if you were..." "Sleeping with some freak..." "What I do care about is that" "Everything you've been telling me lately" "Sounds like bullshit." "Okay, then let's just define bullshit for a moment, shall we?" "What's bullshit is..." "That you were never going to leave her," "Despite everything you told me." "I never said anything that would make you..." "You think that didn't hurt?" "I was frightened." "You know, it wasn't just a little crush on my professor." "I was scared that it could get out, and..." "My career would suffer." "That was a long time ago." "You need to move on." "Get out." "Get out!" "You know..." "You have no idea..." "What I've had to deal with." "Oh, come on, geoff..." "Deal with?" "You haven't dealt with anything." "Uh, she's not available right now." " Is this geoff?" " Just put my wife on, please." "She's not your wife, anymore." "And she doesn't want to talk to you." "Yes..." "She does." "Every time you call, you upset her." " I'm sick of it." " Just put her on, ben." "Hey, who the fuck..." "Oh, you fucking..." "Fucker." ""squek"" "Come on." "Answer the phone." "Where's rebekka?" "Up on the roof." "Hi." "I need your help." "Rebekka, please..." "What is it you want from me?" "I can't tell you here." "Here." " I need you..." " What's that?" " ..." "To do a blood test." " Yeah, of course." " You can run a pcr, right?" " Yeah." "What are you doing?" "What does it look like I'm doing?" "Can you please just tell me what's going on?" " You're scaring me." " I was bitten by a mouse." " A..." "A lab mouse?" " Yes." "And I'm pretty sure I contracted a virus." "That's not possible." "These are the most pathogen-free mice" "In the world." "Not if they belong to jarek." "We need a sample from you, too, for the negative." " I know how it works, geoff." " Then do it!" "What am I supposed to be looking for?" "Your easter gene!" "Jarek's using a viral vector to integrate it" "Into the mammal genome." "Not embryos..." "Fully grown mice." "He scooped you on the mammals." "I'm sorry, he did it." "But I don't know how." "What?" "I'm the proof." "You know what, you're right." "Screw the test." " Where are you going?" " Where's jarek?" "I don't know..." "Yes, you do." "Probably the mouse house." "Mouse house?" "What are you doing?" "What do you think?" "Please..." "Let me call samuel." "Oh, now you're gonna call." "Call samuel, and get him to the mouse house, right now." "Let's think about this." " I'm done thinking." " Where're you going?" "Stop!" "Stop!" ""squeak" is spelled with an "a," asshole!" "For your survival..." "Get the hell out of here!" "It was infectious." "What are you talking about?" "Your mice!" "It was infectious!" "Get this crazy ass off of me!" "Tell me!" "Stop it, please!" "Stop it!" "Jarek!" "Get back!" " Jarek..." " Get back." "Jarek..." "What's wrong, jarek?" "This is exactly what you wanted, wasn't it?" "Huh?" "Get back!" "What're you gonna do?" "I mean it." "Do it." "Get back!" "What the hell is going on here?" "He just went crazy!" "He was attacking us." "Don't listen to him, samuel." "These guys infected me." "That is a lie." "He's done it to himself." " Waldemar, tell him." " Bullshit." "It's true..." " ..." "He did." " Bullshit." "They lured me here." "In fact..." "You all lured me" "He used the mouse to infect me." "It made it look unintentional." "Put the scalpel down." "Put the scalpel..." "Down." "Look at his head." "The cut..." " What cut?" " Shit..." "Will someone kindly tell me what the hell this is all about?" "It's healed." "It works!" "It works in humans!" "You fucking back off." "Alright, I see what's going on now." "I understand your little collaboration, right?" " Geoffrey..." " No, I get it now." "You're in on this, too." "What is this infection?" " Is it viral?" " Of course, it's fucking viral." "The easter gene is endogenous retrovirus." "Even though these two geniuses couldn't work it out." "This is true." "What the hell have you done?" "What I have done?" "I have just made the discovery of the century!" "This is what I have done!" "Me, jarek novak!" "Remember it." "Happy easter." "Discovery is not a cure, right?" "That's what you told me." "If the healing has accelerated..." "So has the tumorigenesis." "What do you think I got?" "A day?" "Maybe two?" "Is this contagious?" "Ah, it's alright, Samuel" "Pretty goddamn sure that it's blood-borne." "No!" "Nooo!" "No, please!" "Stop, let me help him!" "Please!" "Please, let me help!" "No, please!" "Please!" "Please!" "Geoff!" "Geoff!" "Please..." "Oh, please!" "Let me go!" "Please, please let me go, please!" "Please!" "Geoff..." "Geoff!" "Geoff." "Geoff, please stop." "Stop, please." "Geoff." "Stop!" "There's nothing you can do." "Come back with me." "It's your only chance." "No." "I'm going home." "Listen, I..." "I made a few..." "Changes in the sequence, but, it's..." "It's basically the same." " Same?" " Yeah." "The same as what?" "Burton's syndrome." "What?" "I..." "I requested tissue samples" "When I heard about your son's condition." "My son?" "Why?" "Why would you do that?" "I..." "I thought I..." "Could help you, somehow." "I..." "I don't..." "You know, when I started cloning the gene, I..." "I discovered it could regenerate" "Dying cells." "I mean..." "The tumors are actually the symptom" "Of cell regeneration." "It's regeneration, out of control." "That's what happened to your son." "I wanted you here to share it..." "To show it to you, to..." "Make you part of it." "I mean, you were a part of it." "I wanted to tell you, I just..." "I was waiting for the right time." "What took you so long, huh?" "I was afraid to tell you." "I didn't know..." "How you'd react, or..." "I'm sorry, I..." "I went too far with it..." " Why?" "Why?" "!" " Because..." "Because I love you, geoff!" "Don't you see that?" "I love you!" "You love me?" "I am so sorry, I..." " No, it's fine." " ..." "I never meant..." "For this to happen, I..." "I have my own disease." "You know how funny that is?" "I have my own disease." "It was just research..." "To help you." "Research..." "That's exactly what I would say to sarah." "Geoff." "Geoff!" "Geoff!" "Geoff, where are you going?" "!" "Geoff!" "Hey!" "Hey..." "Hey!" "Oh..." "Okay..." "Ticket?" "Ticket?" "Speak english." "Do you speak english?" "Hey, hey, hey..." "Halt!" "Please, stop!" "Hi, it's sarah." "I am not available at the moment." "Please leave a message after the beep." "Thank you." "I'm sorry." "And it was just so hard..." "I really did..." "Why...?" "Where is she?" " Yeah?" " Where is she?" "Geoffrey..." "You're awake." "Well, at least you got your own room." "No..." "No, no." "Don't do that." "You've been very..." "Restless, these past few days." "But don't you worry." "Everything is being thoroughly investigated." "Geoffrey..." "You have been very ill." "But, you're all better now." "Your recovery has been remarkable..." "Inspirational, in fact." "Do you remember anything?" "Where is she?" "She's right here." "Look..." "No..." "Sarah..." "Listen, old chap..." "We're gonna have to keep you in here, for a bit." "You're unique, you see..." "But just for the moment, you're a bit of a danger to yourself." "Now, don't worry..." "You'll be alright." "Hey, you." "You were really sick..." "But you're good now." "You're immune." "Look at this." "Do you see that?" "Jarek was right." "Burton syndrome is actually a dormant retrovirus." "We all have it." "It's millions of years old." "Only that your son had a very special version of it..." "Now you." "You're a miracle." "And your son was a miracle." "Why didn't your son recover?" "How was I supposed to know?"
