[ BIRDS CHIRPING ]
-WAKE UP.
WAKE UP, DAD.
-[ SIGHS ]
[ BOTH CHUCKLE ]
-KEVIN, COME IN HERE
AND EAT BREAKFAST FOR ME,
ALL RIGHT, BUDDY?
[ GROANS ]
-WHAT TIME IS IT?
-YOU'RE LATE.
-GUESS I FELL ASLEEP.
-DAD, CAN I RIDE MY BIKE?
-GO GET SOME BREAKFAS WITH YOUR MOM
AND THEN WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT.
-OKAY.
-DAD SAID I CAN RIDE MY BIKE.
-NO, YOU CANNOT.
GET BACK IN HERE WHERE YOU'RE
EATING BREAKFAST RIGHT NOW.
HE DID NOT SAY
YOU COULD RIDE YOUR BIKE.
[ KITCHENWARE CLATTERING ]
-SO, WHAT'S BURNT?
-WHAT'S WHAT?
-BURNT.
-IT'S NOT BURNT.
IT'S WELL-DONE.
[ CHUCKLES ]
-[ CHUCKLES ]
BYE, MOM.
-MNH-MNH.
KEVIN GET BACK IN -- OH.
-HEY, ARCHER.
YEAH, LISTEN.
SO, SPECIMEN 22 AND 23,
WHAT HAPPENED?
RIGHT.
NO, BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS...
[ HEART MONITOR BEEPING ]
[ RESPIRATOR HISSING ]
[ LIGHT SWITCH CLICKS ]
-No, I understand.
The whole sequence is messed up.
We're gonna have to go back in.
I-it -- It's just not working
right now.
-OH, Y-- W-- ARE YOU GONNA EAT?
HERE, TAKE THIS
IN THE CAR WITH YOU.
-EXACTLY RIGHT, ALL RIGHT.
-YOU FORGOT YOUR COFFEE.
KEVIN, GET IN HERE.
-BUT I'M LOOKING
AT THE SAME THINGS YOU ARE.
-Yes, all right.
-EXACTLY.
SO IF YOU LOOK AT 48-C,
I REALLY BELIEVE
IT'S A WHOLE NEW WAY...
[ SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY ]
[ HEART MONITOR BEEPING ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
-All right,
what do -- what do you mean?
[ ENGINE TURNS OVER ]
-LISTEN, WORK BACK, RIGHT?
-All right, which sequence?
[ HEART MONITOR BEEPING ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
-WORK BACKWARDS FROM THE GOAL.
SO IF WE'RE TRYING
TO ACHIEVE A --
-Yeah, no, we need to have you
come in.
-10:00 A.M. NOW?
NO, I'LL BE THERE.
I'LL BE THERE.
[ CRASH, TIRES SCREECH ]

[ HEART MONITOR BEEPING ]
[ PIANO MUSIC PLAYS ]
[ CROW CAWING ]
-THAT'S GOOD. THAT'S GOOD.
ALL RIGHT. OKAY.
I'M GONNA LET YOU GO NOW, OKAY?
ALL RIGHT, HERE WE ARE.
OKAY.
ALL RIGHT, GOOD.
[ WAVES CRASH ]
[ SEAGULLS SQUAWK ]
[ PROJECTOR WHIRRING ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
YOU REMEMBER ANY OF THIS?
HMM?
THAT'S OKAY.
YOU HIT THE WINDSHIELD
AT 36 MILES PER HOUR,
AND YOU'VE BEEN IN A COMA
FOR TWO WEEKS.
SO, TRUTH BE TOLD,
WE'RE VERY LUCKY
TO HAVE YOU HERE, ALIVE --
BREATHING, AT ALL.
-A CAR CRASH?
-YEAH, YOU HIT A TREE.
YOU SWERVED INTO A TREE.
-WHERE'S THE DOCTOR?
-THEY SAID
IT WOULD TAKE A FEW WEEKS
TO GET YOUR FULL MEMORY BACK.
THEY SAID THE BEST THING TO DO
WOULD BE JUS TO WALK YOU THROUGH IT.
SO I FIGURED WE'D STAR AT THE BEGINNING, OKAY?
[ PROJECTOR WHIRRING ]
-WHERE ARE WE IN THAT?
-NAGS HEAD, EARLY '70s.
WE USED TO GO THERE TWO MONTHS
OUT OF EVERY YEAR...
BEFORE OUR FATHER PASSED AWAY.
THAT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE 12.
HEART ATTACK.
HE WAS THE PICTURE OF HEALTH,
AND HE JUST DROPPED DEAD
RUNNING ONE MORNING.
-[ BREATHES SHAKILY ]
[ Voice breaking ] I'M SORRY.
IT'S -- I'M SORRY.
IT'S LIKE MY LIFE
NEVER HAPPENED.
I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND.
MY HEAD,
IT -- IT JUST FEELS EMPTY.
I'M SORRY.
-IT'S OKAY.
HERE.
UH, WE USED TO EAT THESE
WHEN WE WERE CHILDREN.
OUR MOTHER FED THEM TO US
AFTER WE HAD
OUR WISDOM TEETH PULLED.
-IS OUR MOTHER ALIVE?
-NO.
THAT ICE-CREAM SANDWICH
IS NOT GONNA EAT ITSELF.
YOU SHOULD
TAKE A BITE OUT OF IT.
IT'S VERY GOOD.
YOU WANT TO HEAR A JOKE?
KNOCK, KNOCK.
-KNOCK, KNOCK.
-WHEN I SAY, "KNOCK, KNOCK,"
YOU REPLY TO ME, "WHO'S THERE?"
-WHO'S THERE?
-THAT'S GOOD.
BOO.
-BOO?
-YOU SAY, "BOO WHO?"
-BOO WHO?
-DON'T CRY.
IT'S JUST A JOKE.
-[ LAUGHS ]
[ Laughing ] I UNDERSTAND.
I GOT IT.
[ LAUGHS ]
-IT'S JUST A JOKE.
-[ SIGHS ]
I GOT IT.
-YOU'VE BEEN MARRIED NINE YEARS,
SEPARATED FOR FOUR.
-DOES SHE KNOW I'M OKAY?
-I DON'T KNOW.
-WHERE IS SHE?
WHERE IS SHE?
-I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW.
YOU'VE BEEN SEPARATED
SINCE KEVIN DIED.
-KEVIN.
-YOU REMEMBER KEVIN.
HE WAS 6 YEARS OLD,
AND HE DIED 4 YEARS AGO.
-I REMEMBER HIM.
IS THERE ANYONE LEFT?
-ME.
I'M HERE.
YOU WERE LUCKY.
-LUCKY?
-TO GET PREGNANT.
JULES CAN'T HAVE CHILDREN,
AND KEVIN WAS A FLUKE.
[ FILM WHIRRING ]
-DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME.
DON'T FILM ME.
FILM THE LIGHTHOUSE
AND THE OCEAN.
-AH, THAT'S NICE.
-YEAH.
WHAT? [ CHUCKLES ] STOP.
-TAKE OFF YOUR CLOTHES.
-TAKE OFF MY CLOTHES?
-YEAH.
-IT'S A PUBLIC BEACH.
-LET'S GO SWIMMING.
-I'M NOT GONNA GO --
IT'S 40 DEGREES IN THE WATER.
-YEAH, IT'S PERFECT.
-IT'S NOT --
JULES, COME ON.
YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS.
-I'M GOING. [ CHUCKLES ]
-COME ON. STOP.
-COME ON. YOU STOP.
-IT'S 20 DEGREES
OUT THERE, JULES.
-IT'S PERFECT.
-YOU WILL FREEZE.
-IT'S SO COLD. [ LAUGHS ]
-STOP TAKING YOUR CLOTHES OFF.
YOU'RE NOT GOING IN THE WATER.
COME ON!
-BUT I'M REALLY GOOD
AT SWIMMING.
-ONCE YOU HIT THE WAVES,
YOU'LL --
-OKAY.
-[ CHUCKLES ]
-OH, MY GOD, IT'S COLD!
-I'M NOT COMING IN.
I'M NOT COMING IN.
I'M NOT COMING IN!
WILL YOU MARRY ME?!
-YOU WORK IN A LAB
AT NEXT CORPORATION.
-WHAT IS THAT?
-IT'S
A GOVERNMENT-CONTRACTED LAB
FOCUSED ON THE STUDY
OF CHROMOSOMES, OKAY?
-WHAT DID I DO THERE EXACTLY?
-YOU WERE ONE
OF THEIR LEADING GENETICISTS.
BEFORE KEVIN DIED,
YOU'D BEEN WORKING
100-HOUR WEEKS.
-[ PANTING ]
-IT HAD BEEN A WHILE
SINCE YOU'D SEEN YOUR FAMILY.
-ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?
-[ PANTING ]
WHY DIDN'T SHE WANT TO SEE ME?
-BECAUSE YOU WERE DRIVING.
KEVIN WAS RIDING HIS BIKE
AND YOU WERE DRIVING,
AND YOU HIT HIM.
AND THAT'S HOW IT HAPPENED.
YEAH.
-IS IT OKAY IF I LIE DOWN?
-AND HOW DID
THE RESULTS COME IN?
MM.
I SAID THURSDAY.
-Not Thursday.
We have some real problems here.
-TOMORROW?
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM REASONABLE.
I DIDN'T SAY
IT WAS UNREASONABLE.
I SAID IT DIDN' SEEM REASONABLE.
WE AGREED ON THURSDAY,
AND I'D LIKE TO STICK TO THA IF WE CAN, OKAY?
-I don't care what we agreed to.
-OKAY.
OKAY. TOMORROW.
MAKE IT OUT TO ARCHER.
THANK YOU.
OKAY.
BYE.
I'LL HAVE TO STEP OU FOR A WHILE, WILLIAM.
STAY HERE.
DON'T GO OUTSIDE.
I JUST DON'T THINK
YOU'RE READY IS ALL.
IF YOU NEED ANYTHING
OR IF ANYTHING HAPPENS,
JUST PICK UP THE TELEPHONE...
[ PEN CLICKS ]
...AND DIAL THESE NUMBERS
AND CALL ME.
WILLIAM, YOU PUT THIS CEREAL
IN A BOWL WITH MILK,
AND THAT'S HOW YOU EAT CEREAL.
OKAY.
-[ CRUNCHING ]
[ DOOR BEEPS ]
-CELLULAR DEGENERATION
DATES THIS PROXY
AT EXACTLY THE SAME AGE
AS THE PROTOTYPE.
WE GRAFTED
THE TELOMERASE PROTEIN
AND USED IT AS AN RNA TEMPLATE
LIKE YOU SAID.
SAME RESULTS EVERY TIME. LOOK.
CELL DIVISION RATE IS PERFECT.
THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH EXACT CLONES
IN EVERY PHYSICAL WAY.
THEY'VE GO THE SAME BLOOD PRESSURE,
SAME BRAIN FUNCTION,
SAME RESPONSE TIME,
BUT...WE'VE RUN
INTO SOME OTHER ISSUES.
MASSIVE BRAIN TUMORS
HAVE DEVELOPED
IN 7 OUT OF 10 OF THEM.
-70% HAVE BRAIN TUMORS?
[ GUNSHOT ]
AND HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE?
-THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE I A MONTH.
[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]
-I HATE TO DO THIS TO YOU
ON YOUR FIRST DAY BACK,
BUT WE HAVE SOME VISITORS
FROM UPSTAIRS.
[ DOOR BEEPS ]
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN "UPSTAIRS"?
-THEY'RE DOWN HERE TO TALK ABOU WHAT HAS BECOME
A VERY SENSITIVE ISSUE.
-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
-AND I NEED YOU
TO COOPERATE WITH THEM.
A SET OF SAMPLES FROM THE SECOND
ROUND OF SPLICING...
[ DOOR BEEPS ]
...ALONG
WITH SOME CORELLE SOLUTION
HAS GONE MISSING --
THAT AND SOME HUMAN EGGS.
-MISSING? HOW?
-UH...
-HELLO?
-I'm coming home.
I'm gonna make it right.
-I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-I'm sorry.
I never should've left you.
-YOU SOUND DIFFERENT.
ARE YOU OKAY?
-I'm done running away.
[ Dial tone ]
-HELLO?
[ TELEPHONE BEEPS ]
[ DOOR CREAKS ]
[ BEEPING ]
[ LIGHT CLICKS ]
[ BEEPING RESUMES ]
-THEY'RE JUST MAKING SURE
THAT IT WAS NO ONE
FROM THE STAFF.
ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS.
-BUT WHY WOULD THEY THINK
IT'S -- IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
WAIT. STOP.
-GENTLEMEN.
[ BEEPING ]
-WILLIAM,
IT'S GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK.
-MORNING.
-THIS IS TOM.
-TOM. TOM LANGLEY --
SPENNING, BRAG, AND PENN.
-I'M WILLIAM BLAKELY.
-WE JUST NEED A FEW ANSWERS
ON THIS.
-ON WHAT?
-SORRY, WHAT'S THE QUESTION?
[ BUZZING ]
-YOU SAID YOU NEEDED
A FEW ANSWERS ON THIS.
-THEY'RE TALKING
TO EVERYONE, WILLIAM.
THEY'RE JUST TAKING
THROUGH THE STAFF,
TRYING TO MAKE SURE
THAT NO ONE --
BUT DR. BLAKELY RUNS
OUR RESEARCH LAB.
-YOU'RE A COMPANY MAN, RIGHT,
WILLIAM?
-EXCUSE ME?
-CORELLE --
IT'S A CLONING AGENT, RIGHT?
-THAT'S CORRECT.
-YOU TOOK LAST WEEK OFF.
IS THAT RIGHT?
-DR. ARCHER,
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT --
-FOUR SAMPLES OF CORELLE
ARE MISSING FROM SPECIMEN 29.
[ BEEPING ]
-THAT SURPRISE YOU, WILLIAM?
-DOES THAT SURPRISE ME?
-HEY, HOW'S THAT STUFF WORK,
ANYWAY?
-IT, UH, STABILIZES
AN AMINO ACID SEQUENCE
IN THE Q-45 --
-THAT MUST BE WORTH MILLIONS
ON THE OPEN MARKE IF SOMEONE WERE SELLING.
-WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY?
-WHAT AM I TRYING TO SAY?
-IF YOU'RE SAYING WHAT I THINK
YOU'RE TRYING TO SAY,
THERE'S A VERY SERIOUS INSINU--
IT'S A VERY SERIOUS ACCUSATION.
-WILLIAM, WAIT. WILLIAM, NO.
-DR. ARCHER, IT'S AN ACCUSATION.
IT'S AN ACCUSATION.
-WILLIAM, NO, HOW LONG
HAVE WE KNOWN EACH OTHER?
-HE'S ACCUSING ME.
-PLEASE, SEVEN YEARS.
WILLIAM IS ONE OF
OUR MOST TRUSTED --
-I SIGNED A 206-C.
YOU UNDER--
YOU KNOW THAT NEXT CORPORATION'S
SECRETS ARE SAFE WITH ME.
-WILLIAM, NO.
-I'M SURE THAT THEY ARE.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER PEOPLE
THAT YOU WORK WITH?
-I'VE SPENT THE LAST SEVEN YEARS
OF MY LIFE
WORKING AROUND THE CLOCK,
AND YOU'RE TELLING ME
THAT BECAUSE OF A LAPSE
IN A MULTIMILLION-DOLLAR
SECURITY SYSTEM,
THAT SOMEBODY HAS WALKED
OUT THE FRONT DOOR
WITH PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
REGARDING THE FIRST ROUND
OF TELOMERASE SLICING.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA
THE MONTHS OF WORK IT TAKES
TO CREATE 12 OUNCES OF CORELLE?
DO YOU EVEN KNOW
WHAT IT'S CAPABLE OF?
-I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T CARE.
-DR. ARCHER, I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-WILLIAM, WILLIAM.
ALL RIGHT, WILLIAM, THANK YOU.
-DR. ARCHER.
-THANK YOU FOR COMING IN.
-WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND --
-WE'LL SEE YOU SOON.
-I'LL -- I'LL BE IN TOUCH.
-WHO IS THAT MAN?
WHO IS THAT MAN?
WHAT IS HIS NAME?
-HE, UH -- HE IS JUST FROM --

-WHO ARE YOU?
WHERE'S MY FAMILY?
WHERE IS MY FAMILY?

JUST TELL ME THE TRUTH.
JUST TELL ME THE TRUTH.
THAT'S ALL.
-I WORK IN A GENETICS LAB.
A RESEARCH PROJECT FOCUSED
ON THE...
-WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO
WITH ME?
-...A CONTROLLING AGENT.
-WHERE IS MY FAMILY?!
WHERE IS MY FAMILY?!
-YOU DON'T HAVE A FAMILY.
YOU DON'T HAVE A FAMILY.
MY LAB,
THE LAB WHERE I WORK,
NOT EXTENDING PEOPLE'S LIVES,
BUT MAKING THEM OLDER, FASTER,
THEN RECORDING AND IMPLANTING
LEARNED BEHAVIOR --
FACIAL RECOGNITION,
IMAGE MEMORY, LANGUAGE,
LIKE LOADING UP A COMPUTER
WITH DATA.
-WHY?
-BECAUSE WE WAN TO MAKE CLONES --
REPLACEMENTS.
PROXIES.
YOU ARE A PROXY, WILLIAM.
YOU ARE
MY PROXY.
-GET UP.
GET UP.
GO. GO. GO. GO. GO.
GO UP THE STAIRS.

-GO UP THE STAIRS!
GET UP AND GO UP THE STAIRS!
-NO.
-GET UP.
-STOP, STOP, STOP! STOP!
WILLIAM, THINK THROUGH THIS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HAS HAPPENED?
DON'T YOU REALIZE
THAT IF THEY FIND OU WHAT WE'VE DONE, IT'S OVER?
WILLIAM, NO.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
STOP.
-LIE BACK. LIE BACK. QUIET.
LIE BACK.
-OKAY, OKAY, OKAY.

NO, I'M HERE, YEAH.
[ SNIFFLES ] MM-HMM.
-All right.
-WELL,
THERE'S ACTUALLY SOMETHING
I WANTED TO TALK
TO YOU ABOUT, TOO.
NO, I THINK WE SHOULD MEE IN PERSON.
THANK YOU, DR. ARCHER.
-Take care of yourself.
-OKAY.
-AH, BAXTER,
CAN YOU LOCK UP TONIGHT?
-SURE.
-THE MEN FROM UPSTAIRS
ARE GONNA BE HERE PRETTY EARLY.
-OKAY.
-DID YOU NOTICE ANYTHING ODD
ABOUT WILLIAM TONIGHT?
-WHY?
-UH, OH, HE JUST, UM...
UM, I'M GOING TO MEET WITH HIM.
-THIS LATE?
-YEAH, IT SOUNDED URGENT.
IS THIS ONE FROM SPECIMEN 29?
-YEAH, HE'S THE LAST ONE.
DR. ARCHER,
CAN I ASK YOU SOMETHING?
WHY IS IT YOU STILL WORK HERE
AT NEXT CORP?
-YOU KNOW, I LOOK AT THIS DOG,
AND I THINK,
"LIFE IS THE WHIM
OF SEVERAL BILLION CELLS
TO BE YOU FOR A WHILE."
-WHAT'S THAT FROM?
-CAN'T REMEMBER.
BAXTER, YOU DON'T JUST QUI A JOB LIKE THIS.
-WHY?
-YOU JUST DON'T.
-[ SNIFFLES ]
-OKAY.
DON'T START THE CAR.
I JUST WANT TO TAKE A MINUTE
TO EXPLAIN [SIGHS]
WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON.
-YOU MEAN -- YOU MEAN WITH YOU?
-NO, WITH THE SAMPLES.
-ALL RIGHT.
WILLIAM, WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON
[ SIGHS ]
WITH THE SAMPLES?
-I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN CONCERNED
WITH THE MEN FROM UPSTAIRS.
-WILLIAM.
[ CHUCKLES ]
THESE GUYS ARE NOT JOKING
AROUND, ALL RIGHT?
INTERNAL SPECIAL SECURITY.
THE ENTIRE DEPARTMENT --
THEY CAN SHUT IT DOWN
JUST LIKE THAT IF THEY WANT TO.
THEY WILL NOT HESITATE
TO PUT US DOWN.
[ SIGHS ] AND I'VE GIVEN YOU
EVERY OPPORTUNITY.
I HAVE DEFENDED YOU.
I'VE GIVEN PEOPLE MY WORD.
I'VE BACKED YOU
AT EVERY TURN, WILLIAM,
BUT YOUR BEHAVIOR
IS INCREASINGLY SUSPICIOUS.
WILLIAM...
THE BEST MOVE IS
FOR YOU TO COME CLEAN.
-YOU WERE THE ONLY ONE
WHO WAS KIND TO ME.
-ALL RIGHT.
[ SIGHS ]
-I THOUGHT TO MYSELF,
"WHAT A KIND MAN."
-RIGHT, WILLIAM --
-STOP INTERRUPTING ME.
I TALK NOW.
AND I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
WHY YOU WERE BEING SO NICE
TO ME.
-[ SIGHS ]
-AND THEN I REALIZED THAT IT WAS
BECAUSE NEXT CORPORATION
NEEDED WILLIAM BLAKELY.
THEY WERE AFRAID
OF WILLIAM BLAKELY.
-[ SIGHS ] GOOD.
GOOD JOB.
GOOD, WILLIAM.
WE ARE GONNA DEAL WITH THIS.
I AM YOUR FRIEND.
I WILL HELP YOU OUT.
-DON'T TOUCH IT. SIT BACK.

YOU'RE GONNA DO?

I WAS RESPONSIBLE.
MY LIFE ENDED THAT DAY, SO...
-HOW OLD AM I?

YOU'VE BEEN ALIVE FOR 6.
I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU.

I DIDN'T KNOW H--
-WILLIAM, NOT RIGHT NOW, OKAY?
I MEAN, WHAT IS THIS?
WHAT DO YOU WANT?
-I JUST DIDN'T HAVE ANY --
I'D HAVE NO ONE ELSE.
-YOU CAN'T JUST SHOW UP
TO MY BUS STOP
AND JUST EXPECT ME
TO, LIKE, RELATE TO YOU, RIGHT?
THE WORLD DOESN'T STOP
JUST BECAUSE
YOU DECIDE THAT YOU DON'T WAN TO BE A PART OF IT.
IT'S JUST NOT FAIR.
-JULES, I'M NOT TRYING
TO UPSET YOU.
I JUST DON'T HAVE ANYONE ELSE
TO REACH OUT TO RIGHT NOW.
-WELL, YOU
ARE UPSETTING ME,
WILLIAM.
-PLEASE, ALL I'M ASKING
IS A MINUTE OF YOUR TIME.
-WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY TO ME?
-L-L-LISTEN, JULES.
PLEASE, WAIT.
-NO. NO, NO, NO, NO.
YOU DON'T GET TO SAY THAT TO ME.
ALL I HAD WAS TIME.
YOU WEREN'T THERE.

IS THIS ABOUT KEVIN?
-I DON'T KNOW. I'M SORRY.
-WHAT? YOU -- YOU WAN TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN?
IS THIS WHAT IT'S ABOUT?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT I DO?
DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS?
I CARRY THIS AROUND.
THIS IS HIS HAIR
FROM HIS FIRST HAIRCUT.
I THINK THAT I DESERVE HIM BACK
IN SOME WAYS.
-YOU DO DESERVE THAT.
I BELIEVE YOU DO DESERVE THAT.
-NO. THERE IS NO DESERVE.
THERE ARE NO MORAL ORDER
TO ANY OF THIS.
WE DON'T GET PAID BACK
FOR THE PAIN THAT WE FELT.
THERE'S NONE OF THAT SHIT.
I WAS WILLING TO GO ON WITH YOU.
YOU CAVED. YOU RAN AWAY.

I CAN'T ANSWER FOR THAT,

OF THAT DOOR IN A BATHTUB.
IT TOOK HIM MONTHS
OF TRIAL AND ERROR
AND HE KILLED THE DEFECTS
AND BURIED THEM
IN THE BACKYARD UNDER THE SNOW.
AND THEN HE MADE ME.
I WAS DESIGNED TO LEARN FAST.
EXPONENTIAL BRAIN GROWTH.
I LEARNED THINGS
IN LEAPS AND BOUNDS.
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
TRIED TO MAKE A BETTER VERSION
OF HIMSELF...
-LET ME TELL YOU A JOKE.
-...WITHOUT THE GUILT...
-KNOCK, KNOCK.
-...BUT IT BACKFIRED...
-KNOCK, KNOCK?
-...BECAUSE
HE HAD MADE A MIRROR,
AND IT BECAME
A CONSTANT REMINDER
OF WHO HE WAS
AND WHAT HE HAD DONE.
-DON'T CRY. IT'S JUST A JOKE.
-I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
-NEVER MIND. IT'S JUST A JOKE.
USE THIS SPOON
TO EAT YOUR CEREAL.
-HE HAD CONVINCED HIMSELF
THAT I WAS READY --
THAT I WAS READY TO GO IT ALONE,
TO DO IT MYSELF.
BUT I KNEW THE REAL REASON WAS
THAT HE WAS SICK OF ME.
HE WAS SICK OF THE SIGHT OF ME,
THE SIGHT OF HIMSELF, EVERY DAY,
EVERYWHERE HE LOOKED.
-[ GASPING ]
-AND SO, HE LEFT ME.
HE ABANDONED ME.
HE LEFT ME WITH A BLACK BOOK,
A SURVIVOR'S GUIDE --
MAPS AND CREDIT CARDS
AND HISTORIES,
INFORMATION ABOUT HIS WIFE,
HIS WIFE --
HOW TO FIND HER AND HELP HER.
IT TOOK ME TWO WEEKS
TO RUN OUT OF FOOD...
AND THEN I WENT OU INTO THE WORLD.
I WAS STARVING.
AND I WAS ARRESTED
24 HOURS LATER
IN A GROCERY STORE.
I WAS TERRIFIED.
HE'D TOLD ME THE WORLD WAS
A GOOD PLACE,
BUT THAT WAS A LIE.
THE WORLD IS A CRUEL PLACE,
AND I DIDN'T BELONG.
THEY PROCESSED ME.
THEY CATEGORIZED ME.
THEY CLASSIFIED ME.
THEY TOLD ME I WAS DELUSIONAL,
SCHIZOPHRENIC,
A DANGER TO MYSELF AND OTHERS.
WHEN THEY DID THIS,
I WOULD GO TO A PLACE FAR AWAY,
LIKE A RECURRING DREAM...
[ SEAGULLS SQUAWKING ]
...THAT I WOULD ESCAPE TO.
AND I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO FIND THAT PLACE,
TO GO BACK THERE, EVER SINCE.
AND I'M CLOSER NOW THAN BEFORE.
I'M AS CLOSE
AS I'VE EVER BEEN, OKAY?
NEXT CORPORATION FOUND ME
IN THREE MONTHS.
THEY HAD SEARCHED EVERYWHERE.
THEY NEEDED ME BACK
TO CONTINUE THE WORK,
AND I CAME BACK HERE.
AND I WAS ALONE, TOTALLY ALONE.
I HAD NOTHING, NO ONE.
AND I DECIDED
TO FOLLOW HIS LEAD.
[ WATER RUNNING ]
AND I MADE A PROXY.
AND THAT MAKES ME INVISIBLE,
UNACCOUNTABLE.
I'M GOING TO DISAPPEAR
LIKE HE DISAPPEARED,
AND NO ONE WILL COME AFTER ME.
BEFORE I LEAVE,
I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE
THAT HE WILL
NEVER FORGET ME AGAIN.
HE'S GOING TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE
TO HURT THE WAY I HURT.
SO THIS IS MY BREAKTHROUGH.
TAKING A HUMAN LIFE IS EASY
FOR ME...
...BECAUSE I'M DIFFERENT.
-[ BREATHING RAPIDLY ]
-I'M NOT HUMAN.
-[ WHIMPERING ]
I'M BETTER THAN THAT.
-WILLIAM,
I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING TO YOU!
PLEASE, NO!
[ THUD ]
-YOU'RE BAXTER, RIGHT?
-I'M SORRY, WHAT?
-YOU'RE A COMPANY MAN,
RIGHT, BAXTER?
-WHAT -- WHAT --
WHAT DO YOU GUYS WANT?
-I CAN COUNT ON YOU
TO HELP ME OUT, RIGHT?
-[ LAUGHS ]
-YOU TALKED TO ARCHER
LAST NIGHT BEFORE HE LEFT.
WHAT DID HE TELL YOU?
-[ BREATHING DEEPLY ]
HI, JULES. HI.
HI, JULES, WOULD YOU LIKE --
DO YOU HAVE TIME THIS AFTERNOON

IT'S AMAZING TO SEE YOU.

NO, I KNOW. I KNOW.
DON'T CRY.
I DON'T LIKE IT, EITHER.
DON'T CRY.
YOU REMEMBER THAT ONE TIME
WE WERE ON THE BEACH TOGETHER?
IF YOU COULD
JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE.
IT'S TRUE. IT'S TRUE.
I AGREE WITH YOU.
[ CHUCKLES ]
NO, I'M NOT LAUGHING AT YOU,
AND I'D LIKE TO TALK TO YOU.
I DON'T LIKE IT, EITHER.
I FEEL --
I FEEL LIKE WE OWE I TO EACH OTHER TO BE BETTER.

WHAT WAS HIS NAME?
DR. ARCHER WAS FOUND DEAD
IN HIS CAR LAST NIGH WITH THE CORELLE SOLUTION.
-DR. ARCHER?

-HOW WOULD ANY OF THIS
BE MY FAULT?
-I SHOULDN'T HAVE COME HERE.
-WAIT. JULES, WAIT. WAIT. WAIT.
-NO, I FEEL STUPID.
THIS IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
-BEFORE YOU CAME,
I WAS WATCHING FOOTAGE --
OLD FOOTAGE OF YOU
AND ME AND KEVIN, TOO.
IT HELPED ME.
IT GAVE ME PERSPECTIVE.
I THINK YOU SHOULD WATCH I WITH ME NOW.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTAN TO DO THAT.
COME ON.
-[ SIGHS ]
[ INDISTINCT CONVERSATIONS ]
- ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS.
THE FUCK HAVE YOU BEEN DOING
FOR FOUR YEARS?
-I WANTED TO DISAPPEAR.
BUT I REALIZED
THAT I WAS STUCK WITH MYSELF...
WITH THIS BODY, THESE MEMORIES,
AND IT FELT LIKE JAIL.
-NO. NO.
JUST COME HERE.
- DADDY!
-[ SIGHS ]

Huh? What'd she think?
You think she loves you?
I promise you...
-Stop.
-...the minute she finds out.
-Stop.
-No. No. No.
Listen to me.
Listen, listen, listen. Stop.
-QUIET.
-Everything you are
is because of me.
Everything you do,
everything you think --
everything is because of me.
Me, me, me, me, me.
[ Both grunting ]
[ SYRINGE HISSES ]
[ GASPS ]
-I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
-CAN YOU HEAR ME, KEVIN?
LET'S GO. WE'LL TAKE A RIDE.
HERE WE GO. HERE WE GO.
-JULES.
-I THOUGHT THAT YOU WANTED
THE SAME THING. I WAS --
-JULES, COME ON.
-THAT WAS REALLY SILLY.
GOD.
-I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU.

-THAT'S THE ONLY THING I KNOW.
THAT'S THE ONLY THING I KNOW
IS THAT I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU.
COME ON.
OKAY. OKAY.
I LOVE YOU.
I LOVE YOU.
-WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?
-WHO ARE YOU?
-YOU MADE HIM?
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT YOU'VE DONE?
DO YOU REALIZE THE CONSEQUENCES
OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE?!
-I AM THE CONSEQUENCES!
I'M NOT YOUR PROXY.
I'M HIS PROXY.
HE MADE ME.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
HE WAS GONNA HURT HER,
AND I STOPPED HIM.
WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I MEAN, W-WHY DID YOU COME BACK?
WHY NOW?
-BECAUSE THIS IS THE DAY
THAT KEVIN DIED FOUR YEARS AGO.
I THOUGHT SHE'D BE BETTER OFF
WITHOUT ME.
I THOUGHT I'D BE BETTER OFF
WITHOUT ME.
AND I TRIED TO REACH OUT.
I TRIED TO MAKE CONTACT,
BUT I COULDN'T.
[ SNIFFLES ]
[ Crying ] I KILLED OUR CHILD.
[ SOBBING ]
I KILLED OUR CHILD.
[ SNIFFLING ]
AND SO, I MOVED AWAY.
I MOVED INTO THIS HOUSE...
ALONE.
[ SIGHS ]
AND ONE DAY,
I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR,
AND THERE WAS NOTHING THERE.
I WAS GONE.
I WAS BEYOND REPAIR.
AND THAT'S WHEN THE IDEA HIT.
I TOOK A DIFFERENT TRACK.
I WENT WITH WHAT I KNEW.
I THOUGH I COULD REPLACE MYSELF,
MAKE A BETTER VERSION OF MYSELF.
I-I COULD MAKE IMPROVEMENTS.
HE COULD HEAR BETTER.
HE COULD SEE BETTER.
HE WOULD BE WITHOUT THE GUILT.
AND HE COULD HELP HER.
BUT I DID IT FOR HER.
I DID IT ALL FOR HER.
-GET UP.
LISTEN TO ME VERY CAREFULLY
OR YOU'RE NEVER GONNA
SEE HER AGAIN.
YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
YOU NEED TO LEAVE HERE.
TAKE HER WITH YOU, LEAVE,
AND NEVER COME BACK -- EVER.
YOU UNDERSTAND?
-SHE'S HERE NOW?
-I'M GONNA BURN
THIS PLACE DOWN...
...SO NO ONE EVER KNOWS
WHAT YOU DID HERE.
-BUT WHAT ABOUT YOU?
-I'M DYING.
I'M DYING, SO...
SO YOU GET A SECOND CHANCE.
[ Voice breaking ]
SO THE LEAST YOU CAN DO
IS PROMISE ME...
SHE WILL NEVER BE ALONE AGAIN.
YOU PROMISE ME THIS.
-SHE WON'T BE ALONE.
-NOW, WE DON'T HAVE LONG
BEFORE THEY GET HERE.
-WHO?
-THE MEN FROM THE LAB --
THE MEN FROM UPSTAIRS.
YOU'RE NO WILLIAM BLAKELY ANYMORE.
HE IS. YOU UNDERSTAND?
GIVE ME YOUR COAT.
[ WATER RUNNING ]
-I WANT TO GO BACK.
I WANT TO GO BACK TO KILL EAGLE.
WE CAN START OVER.
[ SEAGULLS SQUAWKING ]
[ WAVES CRASHING ]
-...LIKE, A RAPID FORM
JUST TO GET OUT.
LIKE, THEY WERE GOING THAT WAY.
LOOK. WHAT'S THIS?
[ CHUCKLES ]
-[ CHUCKLES ]
-I THINK GOT IT.
-OH, WOW. THAT'S GOOD.
-[ GRUNTS ]
-LET'S GO SHOW YOUR DAD.
WOW. THAT'S A NICE ONE.
-IT'S BEEN BURIED.
-GO SHOW YOUR DAD.
-OH, WOW, WHAT DO YOU GOT?
-I FIRST FOUND THIS PART OF I AND I KEPT ON DIGGING
AND I FOUND THE WHOLE THING.
-MM-HMM.
THAT IS AMAZING.
YEAH.
A SEA CREATURE
USED TO LIVE IN THERE,
AND THE SHELL WAS ITS ARMOR.
YEAH, THIS THING'S REALLY OLD.
IT'S PREHISTORIC.
400 MILLION YEARS AGO,
THESE THINGS WERE --
THESE THINGS WERE AROUND.
AND, UH --
-WHERE IS IT NOW?
-WELL, IT DIED.
IT DIED, AND THAT'S HOW
WE HAVE THE SHELL.
BUT THE THING WITH THIS IS
IF YOU THROW THIS BACK
IN THE WATER,
THERE'S A CHANCE
THAT SOMEBODY ELSE WILL USE IT.
-USE IT HOW?
-WELL, THEY USE IT.
LIKE, THEY'LL...
CRAWL INSIDE I AND MAKE IT A NEW HOME.
