Oh. my God ! There's something wrong !
I can feel it !
Now. stop screaming.
take a deep breath and--
[ Screaming. Panting ]
Something's wrong.
goddamn it.
- Do something ! elp her !
- You're too ecitable. Mr. Borans.
I'm forced to have you taken
somewhere you can calm down.
Screaming will not help anyone.
[ Man ]
Steady.
Hold her steady.
Why wasn't I
notifIed sooner ?
I'm sorry. Mr. Bartok.
We called as soon as the labor began.
Oh. my God !
Just get it out of me !
Get it out of me! No!
Just get it out of me!
Get it out!
You said it wasn't gonna be like this !
You promised !

Push, push.
Oh.Jesus.

[ Screaming Continues ]
My baby!

[ Man ] We're losing her.
We're losing her! Get in here!

[ Dartok ]
Please, Dr.Jainway, do not think
of this child as a laboratory animal.
I want you to take care of him
as if he were my very own.
You will all answer
to Dr.Jainway.
She. in turn.
will answer to me.
I. in turn. will answer
to nobody but God.
From God's mouth to your ears.
That is the chain of command.
Is that understood ?
[Jainway ] ere we have
an average 1 1 -month-old child.
And here we have
our 1 1 -month-old child.
As you can see. his life cycle
is dramatically accelerated.
Now. there are
aberrant chromosomes.
obxiously a product
of genetic mutation.
And these are all dormant. something
in addition to accelerated growth.
What about his
nongenetic characteristics ?
is learning abilities.
for eample.
e's got
a photographic memory.
e doesn't just learn.
e consumes information.
And he never sleeps.
Is that so ?
Do you like him ?
Well... as a clinical subject.
I fInd him astonishing.
But he does try our patience
when it comes to medical eaminations.
I think it's time our young guest
and I became acquainted.
[ Child Giggling ]
We're not interrupting.
are we ?
[ Man ]
Not at all, Mr. Dartok.
Ahh.
What a handsome young man you are.
- Do you know who I am ?
- Yes.
You're one of the people
who lives behind the mirror.
Well. my name
is Mr. Bartok.
I'd like you to think of me
as your dad.
Martin ?
What's that
behind your ear ?
- Ahh ! ey !
- [ Giggles ]
up !
[ Laughs ]
You know. it's knowing the right
magic word that makes it happen.
It's a real magic word,
a secret word...
that you keep locked away
inside your heart...
and you never
tell anybody.
No. you don't tell anybody.
and that's what makes the magic work.
[ Man ] Martin. Martin,
are you listening to me ?
Dr. Shepard...
I don't mean to be rude
by not facing you.
but those tests are far too simple
to demand my full attention.
Besides.
I'm almost fInished.
So am I. Martin.
I just have to time you
on this maze.
and then we can both do something
that we enjoy more.
Very impressive. Martin.
[ Mechanically Distorted ]
People of Earth, attention.
-[ Whirring ]
-I grow tired of your trivial insolence.
Another outburst and I will be forced
to make an eample of you.
You've outdone yourself.
But what else does it do ?
- Keep still. Stop fIdgeting.
- Is Mr. Bartok gonna visit today ?
You know how busy he is.
e's got that project up in Zone Four.
Oh. yeah.
Can I go visit him ?
Of course not.
You're not allowed in Zone Four.
- Why ?
- Because you don't have
Zone Four clearance.
ow much longer do I have
to take these shots for ?
As long as you would
like to live.
ow come I don't have
Zone Four clearance ?
Because you're only a Zone Three
project. You're fIdgeting again !
It's normal behavior.
I read it in a book for mothers.
Wanna see ?
No. thank you.
Sit still, or Mr. Dartok will be
xery disappointed in you.
Ow !

You know.
I've got this disease.
It's so rare there's only been
two people who've ever had it--
my father...
and now me.
They've even
named it after him.
It's called Brundle's
Accelerated Growth Syndrome.
The doctors say it means I'm growing up
a lot faster than I'm supposed to.
Which isn't so bad.
I guess.
But I think it also means
that I'm gonna die a lot sooner...
which isn't so great.
[ Shepard On Speaker ] Looks like
today's your lucky day, Martin.

- Thank you. everybody.
Blow out the candles.
Don't forget to make a wish.
[ Laughs ]
Martin. The whole team wants you
to know how happy we are...
to share your
fIfth birthday.
What did you wish for ?
- You know what I want ?
- Your privacy.
And I think it's about time
you got it.
Say the magic word...
and make
the mirror disappear.
Where are you taking me ?
I don't know if I should go too far--
Nonsense.
It's a beautiful day.
Fresh air will do you good.
You should get out more often.
You mean. this is mine ?
- This is my place ?
- Your place. Your private place.
No more mirrors.
no more prying eyes.
-[ Toilet Flushes ]
- Wow!
Whee !
[ Chuckles ]
So. you like it ?
Yes.
I know it hasn't been
easy for you growing up
in such a clinical environment.
Due to your unique affliction.
I'm afraid it's been unavoidable.
Well,you'xe been xery good to me.
I don't know how to thank you.
Perhaps I can
think of something.
I'd like you to consider taking a
position here at Bartok Industries.
- A position ?
- Well. something challenging
to keep you from being bored.
A match for your intellect.
your creative mind.
I'm talking about a job.
[ Rexxing, Whirring ]
[ Electronic Sizzling ]
[ Dartok ] Fixe years
and millions of dollars later...
and what we have is--
[ Laughs ]
what we have...
is the world's
most epensive...
juicer.
The greatest invention
in the history of mankind.
and we can't get
the damn thing to work.
We're like a bunch of chimpanzees trying
to fIgure out how to operate a car.

Your father was
a brilliant man--
brilliant but erratic.
When he died. some of
his secrets died with him.
You could fInish
your father's work.
You're as brilliant as he was,
perhaps exen more so.
I don't like these things.
It's because of the dog,
isn't it ?
ow long are you gonna
hold that against me ?
It was a tragic mistake,
but that's in the past now.
You must concentrate
on the future,
and the future is right here
in this very room.
Imagine a new era of surgery
without incision.
Cutting people open would be primitive.
a thing of the past.
All the things that would
become obsolete oxernight.
That's what these machines represent--
a new age.
If you want personnel,
Dr. Trimble and his people
are at your disposal.
If you want to work alone. fIne.
It's your choice.
Martin...
we did everything we could
for your dog.
Take comfort in knowing
he didn't suffer long.
And one more thing.
Your father kept a record
of his progress.

[ Woman ] We've just seen the fIrst
teleportation of a human being.
Dr. Seth Brundle.
how did it feel going through ?
[ Seth ]
It felt like a. a stutter.
- A what ?
- A. uh--
A stutter.
You know. a hiccup.
A slight dislocation
of my physical life.
Not unpleasant.
Just a little interruption of rhythm.
the same telepod
I started in.
And now how do
you feel ?
I should feel exactly the same
as before, but I don't.
I feel xery, uh...
energized.
Very coordinated.
I feel as though I work better
physically,you know.
Everything seems to just work better
than it ever did before.
Why should that be ?
I don't know.
It's possible that the...
teleporter has somehow
improved me.
In reassembling me,
it might'xe seen...
where things could be improxed
theoretically... and it did it.
I told it to be creatixe,
and maybe it has been.

- [ Line Ringing ]
- [ Woman ] ow can I help you ?
- [ Chuckles ]
Uh. I'm sorry. Do you have any
organic matter that I could borrow ?
- Ecuse me ?
- A potato. a plant. Something living.
I'm sorry. you'll have

[ Wooshing, Clicking ]
Nice catch.
- What is this ?
- A fly.
An artifIcial fly
for fIshing.
I don't get out much.
I'd go crazy here
without some sort of dixersion.
I mean. C.R.T. burnout
till 3:oo in the morning.
When I came to Bartok.
I heard it was good for advancement.
I've been here si months. and they
still have me in computer fIling.
Graveyard shift. no less.
- Are you new here ?
- I'xe been here Fixe years.
Five years. and they still
have you working nights ?
I work days too.
- When do you sleep ?
- I don't.
You don't.
I got that in California.
So what are you
working on ?
The most important invention
in the history of mankind.
- With my cactus ?
- Yes.
I'm talking about change
beyond your imagination--
the big leap from Stone Age
to microtechnologies.
Would you like to come up
to my lab and watch. Beth Logan ?
Well. I have to give you points
for originality.
You don't believe me ?
Look. don't take this
personally. but--
Should I ?
Yeah. I love living on a houseboat.
It's very peaceful on the water.
- ouseboat ?
- ey. wait a minute.
Listen. I can't go any further.
I don't have clearance for this sector.
Poof!
You have clearance.
[ Electronic Sizzling ]
Wait.
What did you just do ?
I have just broken down the molecular
structure of your cactus...
and teleported it
from one pod to the other.
- You--
- And--
What's that ?
It. um--
It wasn't supposed to do this.
Something--
I'm sorry.
You keep it.
I have to get back
to work anyway.
But I enjoyed meeting you.
Martin Brundle.
Maybe you should
beta-test the program.
[ Door Shuts ]
Beth.
Would you like
to visit me again ?
- I don't want to disturb your work.
- You wouldn't.
You see. I-- I have no friends here.
only acquaintances.
and-- and--
I would like us
to be friends.
- Is that possible ?
- I'd like that.
I. um. I get a dinner break
every night at 1 o:oo.
Great.
Why don't you come down here ?
If you like. then you could
help me work on the telepods.
Okay.
- [ Door Opens ]
- And maybe we could fI my plant.
[ Chuckles ]
ey. Marty.
What's the good word ?
Got yourself a girlfriend now ?
No.
Too bad. Nice ass.
Last night I slept
for two hours.
That's the longest
I've ever slept in my life.
I'm not sure I'm willing
to attach any signifIcance to it.
Why not ? Normal people sleep.
It means I'm slowing down.
stabilizing. becoming normal.
It doesn't necessarily follow.
You're just working too hard.
If you were undergoing some metabolic
change. we would have found it by now.
Oh !
You're missing my vein.
- Aah ! Ow !
- Uh !
That's what you get
for not sitting still !
Now. let's
try it again.
I don't think so.
A girlfriend of mine
up in Specimens Division...
asked me up there tomorrow
during my break.
They're having
an offIce get-together.
You wanna come ?
- Will there be people there ?
- [ Laughs ]
Yeah. there usually are
at get-togethers.
But nice people.
You'd be surprised.
- Yeah ?
- Yes.
So that's your genius.
e is cute.
I told you. but he's shy.
I hope he's
enjoying himself.
[ Woman ]
I'xe nexer seen anything like it before
in my life. What the hell is it ?
Ask Genetics. We don't make 'em.
We just keep 'em alive.
- It's so ugly.
- Are you kidding ? e's our
pride and joy here in Specimens.

Oh !
Oh ! Oh.
[ Purring ]

[ Giggles ]
That's wonderful.
ow did you do this ?
I started from scratch.
Trimble and the rest
kept asking the wrong questions.
making the same mistakes.
I think they were too close
to the problem to see it clearly.
Sort of
a scientifIc myopia.
They thought of it in terms
of methodology. of physics.
Absolutes.
But...
you have to be able
to open your eyes...
and admire the beauty
of the process.

- Uh ?
- What ? What is this ?

- This antibiotic--

Don't patronize me, Shepard!
This is obviously not
an infection.
I wanna know what it is. What's going
to happen ? Will I lose my arm ?
Of course not. Now. this injection
will clear it up right away.
You're just going
to have to trust me.
[ Martin ] I don't trust you.
I want to see Mr. Bartok.
- There's no doubt ?
- [Jainway ] None at all.
The early stages of
genetic metamorphosis have
been showing up on every test.
is aberrant chromosomes
are no longer dormant.
Now that he's reached full maturity.
they've started growing.
changing.
becoming more defIned.

Listen. it's been great.
- Stop by again sometime.
-[ Lock Clicking ]
Perhaps I should
invite you in.
I saw you on a videotape.
You were--
Don't sit there !
Ju--
You were there
the night my father died.
e was working on a cure.
That's why you dragged yourself
all the way out here ?
- You're my only hope.
-[ Chuckling ]
[ Glass Clinking, Liquid Pouring ]
Ah--
Oh. kid.
The last thing I am...
is anybody's hope.
You really don't want
to hear about this.
I have to know.
Brundle stole my girl.
Your mother.
Got her pregnant.
Caused her death.
Dissolved my hand and my foot
with fly vomit.
I had no love
for the man.
e bugged me.
As for the cure...
he was working on.
he dragged your mother...
kicking and screaming
into that telepod.
that they might be fused together
in one beautiful body.
So your mother blew his brains out
with a shotgun.
There's your cure.
- Go away.
- You bastard !
- Where's your compassion ?
- [ Chuckling ]
I had to give it up.
It cost me an arm and a leg.
It cost you
more than that.
Your father was right
about one thing.
If there's a cure.
it has something to do with those pods.
That--

They'll be looking for your car.
My jeep's in the garage.
Just... get out.
- Let me just call Bartok
and talk to him.
- No. I'm not going back there.
Maybe he can help you.
I have to tell him about the telepod--
- I told you. that's a dead end.
- But you haven't told me why.
Because the only way I could save myself
would be to sacrifIce another life.

I just want to tell you how thrilled
I am to haxe you back again.
It was naughty of you
to run away.
Dut I forgixe you.
I should thank you...
for the magic you worked
with my telepods.
Don't exer forget that,
