"Mr. Drucker, the protesters claim you run RePet at a loss to soften people up to human cloning." "You know, we shouldn't forget that not long ago there were almost no more fish left in the ocean and half the world's population faced the threat of hunger." "Cloning technology turned that around."

"Dad?" "You're coming to my recital, right?" "Of course. I never miss your recitals." "I love you." "You're the greatest, Dad," "Unless herpseudomonas infection clears up, ...I'm afraid there's nothing we can do." "What about her DNA scan?" "Came up with cystic fibrosis." "Cystic fibrosis?" "Which is impossible, considering it's a childhood disease and she would have been dead 30 years ago." "We're running the scan again." "No, I'll do it at the clinic." "If you could give us a moment, please." "Darling." "Sweetheart." "We're having you transferred to my clinic." "No. I'd like to stay here." "I can help you at the clinic. lf you stay here, there's nothing I can do." "I know, dear. I'll die." "Yes." "Katherine, please." "Listen to me." "Katherine died years ago." "The feelings I have aren't mine." "They're hers." "Katherine, listen." "Don't do this." "I need you so much. I need you." "I'm not afraid, Griffin." "I want to die." "My time has already passed." "My love." "What am I to do without you?" "What?" "You just water my flowers okay?" "Weir Clinic, stay away!" "No research on DNA!" "Weir Clinic, stay away!" "No research on DNA!" "Thanks for visiting Replacement Technologies," "We're in the business oflife," "Welcome to the new home of the Weir Organ Transplant Facility," ",here at Replacement Technologies," "Excuse me, sir." "I've got to check that." "Sure." "Help yourself." "But you might want to use these." "What's in here?" "Lower intestines for Dr. Weir." "He's doing a study on the flesh-eating virus." "You can open it." "Just try not to breathe." "That's okay." "You're cleared." "Thanks." "What about herDNA scan?" "Came up with cystic fibrosis," "Which is impossible considering it's a childhood disease- -dead 30 years ago," "So we're running a new scan," "No, I'll do it at the clinic," "We've had 5 extra years since you cloned me, I treasure that," "Katherine, please," "No," "Please, I'm not afraid." "I want to die." "My time has already passed." "Can I help you?" "No. I just dropped my pen." "I'm all thumbs today." "Thank you." "Will you cut that out?" "It's driving me crazy." "Excuse me, but I nearly had my head ripped off and it hurts." "It's only psychological." "Your neck doesn't really hurt." "You'd know better about that?" "Yes, he would." "It was your old neck that got broken." "This is your new neck." "Get it?" "l got killed twice in two hours." "Knock it off." "We've all been killed." "You know what really bothers me?" "That I've never even seen a white light." "Never seen angels." "Nothing." "Give me a break." "I have you logged in." "What?" "When?" "Twenty minutes ago." "You've entered a restricted area." "Son of a bitch has got my thumb." "Deactivate Talia, put out a security alert and seal off Drucker's office, now!" "Let's go!" "Shit." "Can I help you?" "Yeah." "You can stick your thumb on that." "Thank God." "What?" "More fundamentalists?" "No." "Adam Gibson." "We think he's in the building." "Why wasn't he taken care of already?" "There are four of you and one of him!" "Two of him, but you see what I mean." "He has a wife and kid, right?" "Get them." "We may need the leverage." "It costs me $1 .2 million each time I clone you people." "Try to be worth the money." "They'll kill you for seeing this." "They're doing their best already." "Where's Dr. Weir?" "His lab's over there." "Dr. Weir." "Dr. Weir." "I know about the intruder." "Your office called." "Everything's under control." "It's not under control." "You had me cloned." "Yes." "Well, you cloned the wrong man." "How did you do it?" "You had to have my" " What do you call it?" "Your syncording." "We had it." "Give it to me." "I want my life back." "Here. it's your syncording." "How did you get this?" "l haven't been" "Here." "The vision test." "It didn't test vision." "It took your syncording." "An exact picture of your mind." "And it took sample of DNA." "With those we can clone a person in 2 hours." "We had you so we could act quickly when we were told you were killed." "Told I was killed?" "Please don't drink and drive," "Gibson family schedule," "Clara's recital at school," "This is Michael Drucker's." "A syncording contains everything in a person's memory and this is what Drucker saw and heard just before he died." "You don't become a rich man without making enemies so we back up his mind religiously." "You own the Roadrunners, right?" "Among other things," "You a fan?" "l'm a fan ofboth those teams, I'll have to getyou some tickets," "Promise, right?" "Sure, I'll do it right now," "Sally, remind me to get Roadrunner tickets forAdam Gibson," "He's mypilot today," "On the sixth day, God created man, I'm about to get on my snowboard-- Hey, he's got a gun!" "Shit, lt's a fundamentalist," "Hejust shot them both, Call Marshall, You hearme?" "Sally?" "Oh, shit," "No, you don't have to" " Sally!" "Help!" "An anti-cloning fundamentalist killed everyone on board." "It should have been me." "We thought it was you." "Drucker even mentioned your name." "So, we used your DNA and syncording to clone you." "To resurrect him, we had to cover it up." "Keep talking." "We cloned everyone." "We realized you switched places too late." "Access denied, invalid thumbprint," "They're trying to kill me." "There are two Adam Gibsons." "That's proof humans are being cloned which makes you very dangerous to Drucker." "Accessing security," "Tell me why I'm a threat." "Drucker was killed 3 years ago." "We cloned him then..." "...and we cloned him yesterday." "So?" "If that came out, he'd be destroyed in every way." "A clone has no rights, A clone can't own anything," "Drucker would lose all this because Drucker would be legally dead." "Look at all the cameras you got in this place." "You can't find one guy?" "There." "There." "We don't need where he's been." "We need to find where he is." "Let's go." "Hit the alarm." "What's up?" "What area's so sensitive we don't allow cameras?" "Drucker will do anything" "Anything to destroy the evidence." "And you're the evidence." "This is evidence too." "Move!" "Clear the way!" "Let's go." "l have to go to the bathroom." "Okay, Clara." "Anyone else need to go?" "Why do you think I'm telling you?" "Because I can do nothing to stop them." "There he is!" "Zone Six." "Engineering." "Move!" "Clear the way!" "Or what they'll do to your family." "My family?" "Drucker has to kill one of you. lf he can't kill you, he'll kill the other." "They could get killed in the process." "Get out!" "Destination "Get out" not understood," "Morgan Randall Elementary School!" "I'm very sorry, sir." "Daddy!" "She's supposed to be up there now, right?" "This is the...." "That's odd." "I'm gonna go check and make sure everything's okay." "Excuse me." "Of course." "Clara?" "Oh, my God." "Mommy!" "Mommy, I'm scared." "I'm here. I got you." "Could you help us?" "What are you doing?" "This is the only thing keeping the dogs from tearing her apart." "So be quiet and come with us." "Let's go!" "Daddy!" "Adam!" "Natalie!" "You have reached 911 emergency," "Your call is important to us, -l know." "Your "yes" or "no" answers," ",will help us in directing police services to assistyou," "Are you reporting a felony?" "Yes." "Thank you forreporting a felony," "Come on." "is the felony in progress now?" "Yes!" "Thank you, ls there a danger ofbodily harm to you or others?" "Yes!" "Are suspects orinjured victims," "Forget about talking to the police." "I tried that already." "Who the hell are you?" "I know this sounds insane, but I'm Adam Gibson." "We don't have time for you to be shocked." "They have Natalie and Clara." "l need your help to get my family." "They're my family." "That's for sleeping with my wife in the damn minivan." "Yourreport has been canceled atyourrequest," "Thanks for visiting Replacement Technologies, lt's him." "I believe you have something of mine." "No, I have everything ofyours, I have the syncording thatproves you're a clone, I have everything of yours:" "Your family in the palm of my hand." "Shall we trade?" "You read my mind," "Just the highlights." "All right, I'll bring the disk," ",to the Double X Charter office at 10;00 tonight," "Be there with my family," "Did you have to hit me that hard?" "I had to stop you from talking to the police." "That's a good one." "That should do it." "What are you doing?" "Testing it. I don't think you have enough aluminum." "Are you kidding?" "That's the same amount I used in the Rain Forest War." "You shouldn't be talking." "The mess you left trying to fix your garage...." "You saw me working in the garage?" "Saw you?" "I nearly shot you." "Let's try it." "Cool." "Cool." "You better be miles away when this goes off." "I'm worried about getting inside to find Natalie and Clara." "I'll take my chances getting out." "Griffin." "Here." "What are you doing?" "Yours." "Yours." "Griffin, what's the matter?" "My wife, Katherine, is dead." "Oh, Jesus Christ." "Griffin, I don't know-- l'm so sorry." "Don't start with "sorry" with me." "Don't start!" "Don't start with "sorry"!" "I know about the congenital defects you've been imbedding into the clone DNA." "There's my wife, Johnny Phoenix and the others." "But, Michael, why my wife?" "Why?" "You're right, Griffin." "It's a security protocol I implemented." "I knew you wouldn't understand." "What should I understand?" "The only thing I understand is that you gave my wife cystic fibrosis!" "Calm down." "Someone made a mistake." "This wasn't meant to hurt her." "It didn't hurt her. lt killed her." "Suppose we clone a senator who agrees to support us, then doesn't." "Or Johnny Phoenix wants more money." "Shorter life spans gives us leverage." "What's the point?" "The point is, if they betray us they're dead." "If they stay on the team, we clone them again." "Exactly what we'll do with Katherine." "I'm sure she's being cloned now." "No, she's not." "No." "She's" "Griffin, it was a mistake." "If you're concerned about her DNA, go through it yourself." "Obviously there's no charge for the cloning." "No charge." "Thank you very much." "What you don't understand is, she doesn't want to be cloned." "So, do it anyway." "Do it anYWay. I see." "Let me explain something to you." "I loved my wife very much." "So much so, I promised I'd never bring her back again." "And I won't." "And if I can't bring her back, I'll never bring back anyone, ever." "That's how much I loved her." "So, it's over, it's finished and I quit." "Well, I can't let you quit." "I've looked the other way too often." "I've justified too much, so I'm finished. lt's over." "Know what I'm going to do for you?" "What are you going to do for me?" "I'm going to give you the greatest gift you can imagine." "A gift?" "l'm gonna save your life." "I'm gonna save Katherine's life." "I'm gonna save our friendship." "And I'm gonna save your marriage." "What are you talking about?" "I'm gonna kill you now and I'm going to clone you using your latest syncording." "Then I'll clone Katherine using her last syncording." "You understand?" "Do you see what I'm doing for you?" "You'll be together, neither of you will remember you promised not to clone her." "Or that she even died." "Obviously you won't remember this conversation." "You're welcome." "All right, now show me my family," "Bastards. I knew it." "Yoursyncording isn't here, lt was being flown by remote." "Both of you, get back here now." "Come on." "This is a private pad." "You can't land that here." "I'm here to pick up Mr. Drucker." "It's my charter contract." "Everything's normal, Mr. Drucker, but we'll stay alert." "What time are you taking off?" "Take off?" "I didn't order" "Yourpilot's on his way to reception," "Now you listen to me." "Seal the building, Full security alert," "Find this pilot, He is armed and dangerous," "And get Wiley and some men up to my office now," "Freeze the elevators." "Shut down level 2 and 3 parking garages." "Zone 6, engineering corridor." "There." "Sector 3." "He's headed right towards you, Dan." "Turn around!" "Don't try it." "Get people up the stairwell!" "Teams 3 and 4, close off on him!" "Let's go!" "He shot out a power box." "He's trashing the whole system." "We got him trapped." "West stairwell between 1 3 and 14." "Let's go!" "Cover the stairwell doors!" "Fire in front of him!" "Okay!" "You did pretty good!" "Fooled us at the airport!" "Managed to turn this place into shambles!" "You're the greatest, Dad!" "Mr. Drucker would like to talk to you." "And, of course, we do have your family!" "All right." "Go get him." "Well, well." "Adam Gibson." "l wish I could say, "the one and only."" "Looks like we both went back on our word." "You'll find we have more in common" "Where's my family?" "Right to business." "An admirable trait." "There they are." "All safe and sound." "For the moment." "Your syncording is not on him it's not in his whisper craft." "I knew you'd double-cross me, so I gave it to my clone." "Anything happens to me or my family the next time you see it will be at your murder trial." "Dr. Weir didn't tell you." "Tell me what?" "Adam, Adam, Adam." "He's not the clone." "You are." "Ask yourself something." "You remember anything after being scanned by my bodyguard?" "I need to check your vision, Place your chin here," "Changing places with your friend?" "Buddy, wake up, We're here, Woodland Mall," "The salesman at RePet thought it was odd you came in twice." "Asked the same questions twice." "Still can't make up yourmind, huh?" "You lost a dog, right?" "Let me see your chin," "You cutyourselfshaving," "Your shaving cut?" "Easily reproduced." "So is the scar from your old war wound." "I know who I am." "I know you do." "Talia?" "How many times have you been cloned?" "I've lost count." "There's one way to tell." "Show him." "It's the only way to track what generation a clone is." "See?" "Four dots means she's been cloned four times." "Come on." "Let's take a look at yours." "Take a look in the mirror." "Let's find out if you are who you think you are." "Just under your left eye." "Kind of takes the fun out of being alive, doesn't it?" "So, you see your family isn't really your family." "They're his." "And you, my friend, are in exactly the same boat as all of us." "If Adam Gibson gets that syncording to the authorities we'll all be destroyed." "If you really love your wife and kid you'll tell me where Adam Gibson is." "We'll get my syncording back, we'll get rid of him." "You'll tell me where Adam Gibson is." "We'll get my syncording back, we'll get rid of him." "They'll never know you're the clone." "That, or lose them forever." "Adam, I'm not making this offer because I have to." "I can get everything from your memories." "The fact is, I'd like you to understand you'd be serving a higher purpose." "In two years, three tops, I'll control enough votes to get the laws changed." "Then we won't have to lose our best people." "Our Mozarts our Martin Luther Kings." "We will finally be able to conquer death." "We will finally be able to conquer death." "And who gets to decide who lives and who dies?" "You?" "You have a better idea?" "Yeah." "What about God?" "You're one of those. I suppose you think science is inherently evil." "No, I don't think science is inherently evil." "But I think you are." "If you believe God created man in His own image you believe He gave man power to understand evolution to exploit science, to manipulate the genetic code." "To do exactly what I'm doing." "I'm just taking over where God left off." "If you really believe that, then you should clone yourself while you're still alive." "Why's that?" "So I can understand your unique perspective?" "No." "So you can go fuck yourself." "Now you'll tell us where you put Mr. Drucker's syncording!" "You won't find it in my head." "I told him to hide it so I wouldn't know where it is." "We'll see about that." "Yeah, we will." "Let's go." "Get in here." "Come on!" "Come on!" "Come on!" "Fine!" "Have it your way!" "That didn't hurt so bad." "Asshole." "Let's go back a few minutes." "Here's Drucker's syncording," "There's the other one." "Keep this, lfl'm not back in an hour, you know what to do," "Don't worry, lfanything happens to you ormy family, ...I'm gonna destroy that son of a bitch." "You got the location?" "The airport. I was just there." "He'll be dead in 20 minutes." "Let's go." "Betrayed by your own mind." "Wait!" "Wait!" "What?" "They staged that scene for us." "The other one sat behind him so we couldn't see him." "The bastard faked his own syncording." "One hid and this one avoided looking at him so he wouldn't be in his memory." "You mean the other one's here too?" "Yes, that's correct." "Now put out another alert." "This one is the diversion!" "He smashes the cameras, gets captured meanwhile, the other one strolls in and takes his wife and kid." "Idiot!" "Natalie, Clara." "Oh, my God." "What's going on?" "Daddy?" "Don't worry, sir." "Get him up." "I'm scared, Dad." "What's going on?" "This isn't because of the cigar?" "No. I'll explain to you later." "Don't worry." "He's not going anywhere." "We'll get him." "Wait." "Talia, you go." "You two stay here." "Have them block all the exits." "Henderson seal off the tank area, levels 6 and 7." "I'm trying." "Give me a minute." "And get us some power up here." "Don't move." "My daughter is right inside that door." "I don't want to expose her to any graphic violence." "She already gets enough of that from the media." "Put your weapons down." "Nice and easy." "Good." "Now, when you go inside you say...." "Have a nice flight, little girl." "They're friends of Daddy's." "All right, let's go." "We'll have a little midnight flight with Daddy and Mommy." "There we are." "All right?" "There you go, sir." "Wiley." "Go." "Wiley, just wait one second." "Not again." "And don't bring him back." "Stupid bastard blew a hole through my stomach." "God." "I'll be dead in 20 minutes, tops." "But what better place, right?" "Henderson?" "Where's my power?" "Coming on-line now, sir." "Get all exits blocked, All exits!" "Shit." "Go start warming up a blank." "Do a fresh syncording." "I want my mind up-to-the-minute." "Here it is." "This is a fresh one." "This will be a complete syncording." "is that Talia?" "Go help her." "We'll find them." "What have you got?" "Tanks 3 and 4, nothing." "Okay, go." "Take the back walk." "No." "Oh, God." "Oh, no." "Take her to your mother's and stay there until I come." "Come with us, Daddy." "I have to help a friend, okay?" "Bye." "I love you." "Wiley, you shot me!" "Oh, right." "That was you." "I've got to get dressed." "You're not even going to wait until I die?" "Would you?" "Come on." "Get it off." "You got blood on the jacket." "Jesus Christ." "What?" "What?" "What?" "Look we can make a deal." "I didn't do anything to you." "It was all him." "Listen to me." "I can rebuild all this in a very short time." "I can still save you, Adam." "Save me?" "We put defects in the clone DNA to give them short life spans." "Want to know what you'll die of?" "How long you've got to live?" "We can go right upstairs and look it up." "We all have to die someday." "We don't have to die." "I'm offering you the chance to live forever." "Never aging." "Perfect in every way." "Perfect?" "Like you?" "Look." "Here is your "perfection."" "Oh, God." "There's no need to panic." "I can fix this." "You won't fix anything." "It's over. lt's finished." "It's finished." "When I said you should screw yourself I didn't mean for you to take it literally." "Go after him." "Get him." "Check the roof!" "You!" "Up top!" "Come on!" "Can you fly this?" "Better than you can." "Good." "Because your shooting sucks." "Let's get out of here." "Shit." "Come on!" "Try to climb over me!" "Come on!" "Hurry up!" "Come on!" "Shit!" "You know, I keep wondering am I really human?" "Do I have a soul?" "Well, your DNA scan came back normal, didn't it?" "Yeah." "Zero defects." "Just like a RePet commercial." "If you're not human, they would have mentioned it." "All right, enough philosophy." "I better get going." "I've got 3 weeks at sea to figure it out." "Hurry if you want to see Clara." "Thanks for letting me say goodbye to your family." "Now, wait." "This is your family too." "You were willing to die to save them." "Think about that while you're at sea wondering if you're really human or not." "Because if that's not being human I don't know what is." "Thanks." "Hello, everybody." "Look what I brought." "A kitty!" "Oh, Sadie." "I thought that Hank's cat was a" "She is." "But you hate RePets." "Well, I changed my mind." "You old softie." "Can we keep her?" "Please?" "Of course." "That's why I brought her home." "Put her down." "Good." "Thank you so much."
