[GYM NOISES]

[PEOPLE CHEERING]

MIKE: Aw, I was beginning
to think you weren't coming.

Game is almost over.

SALLY: Doesn't look like
I missed too much.

MIKE: It's a game
between teachers

and students
of the various departments.

Mike, who is the power
behind Houseman?

Behind Houseman? God.

The board of director likes him
about as much as

a blast of smoke in the eyes.

[CROWD CHEERING]

Then how is it last year
he was able to attain

financing of 200,000 dollars?

MIKE: Oh, yeah, yeah!

Because our young, eccentric
and subordinate Dr. Houseman

is the most brilliant genetic
engineer the American University

has produced
in the last 10 years.

You don't ask a genius
how he spends his money.

[CROWD CHEERING]

That is Peter Houseman.

[PEOPLE CLAPPING]

PETER: Physiology and medicine
have cast light on the most

inaccessible recesses
of our organisms.

Immunology has routed

hundreds of invisible enemies
to our health and...

Embryology has accomplished
the joining of

ovium and spermatoza in-vitro.

But human genetics

has taken only the first
tentative steps forward.

The genome is formed
of approximately

three billion components.

These components are the letters
in the genetic alphabet.

Now calculate that
if one wished

to print the genome of man

with an average of 10,000
characters per page...

Aren't you exaggerating
a little?

I only want to see
if I can make him stutter.

PETER: ...1,000 pages each.

And it is in the vast
encyclopedia that our...

Hereditary patrimony of our
species must be contained.

Not only the color
of our eyes.

Not only the color
of our hair.

Not only
the masterpiece of nature

which happens to be the exciting
thighs of our generous Patricia.

[ALL HOOTING]

But also the memory of millions
of years of evolution.

Fading shadows of
races and generations

which have all disappeared.
It is our family album.

Now, to be able to leaf
through it from beginning to end

and read it
would be to know our past.

Who we were,

who we are

and most importantly,
what we will become.

Professor, message.

[BELL RINGING]

Dr. Houseman, please, a moment.
You can't go in there!

There is no point being angry
with me. I can't do anything.

And just whose
good idea is this?

Not mine.

The commission has decided
that all funding requests

must be accompanied
by a report

which details
all work in progress.

As well as the obligation
to publish all experiments

funded during the past year.

This is not the agreement
that we made

when you offered to have me
teach at this university!

Peter, be reasonable.

It's an order from
the head office in New York.

This is a private university.

They want to know
where the money they invest

in research ends up!

If they send a woman from
the administration to inspect,

it's not up to us
and we can't do anything.

I took this job because
you assured me a full liberty

to carry on my research
with no strings attached.

No one wants to
attach any strings.

They only want a report
on your experiments to date.

Christ, Peter! Your department
has gobbed down almost

a quarter of a million dollars
in two years

and you haven't
published a line!

-Oh, Lloyd, how are you?
-Oh, hello, Mike.

-Dr. Owen.
-Hi.

Sally, this is Professor Lloyd,
leads the biology department.

Oh, Miss Donnelly!

And Dr. Owen is his assistant.

-Nice to meet you.
-Nice to meet you.

So, you're from New York.

Mike!

PETER: Excuse me.

Mike, I need your help.

-If I can, Peter...
-Of course you can!

You're one of the most senior
members of the staff

and the only one
with a little brains.

Mike, some inspectors-type
is sticking her nose

into the allocation of funds
for research.

-Peter, I don't think...
-And I am being

categorically forced
into publishing my work

before it's finished.

Each of us has to publish
his work, myself included.

LLOYD: I don't see why you
should be the exception.

Because I don't write jokes

and I wouldn't get
the same laughs as you.

MIKE: I'm sorry, Peter.
I can't do anything.

-Mike!
-We'd better go. Gentlemen.

Mike!

Publishing my work
before it's concluded

is as much as calling it quits!

And it's all the fault of some

hysterical old maid
in menopause!

You were at the game yesterday,
weren't you?

Peter Houseman.

Maybe you can convince him
to change his mind.

I'll try.

But I wouldn't expect
too much

from an hysterical old maid
in menopause.

Oh, Christ!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

What's the composition?

WILLY: Nine parts serum
and one part glucose dioxide.

One part in 14.

-Triple the glucose.
-But we'll kill him!

I know, but I don't want
to run the risk

of losing direction
if it's too weak!

I'm sorry, Willy,
we're running out of time.

It's not my fault.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]

[STATIC]

WILLY: It's penetrated
the suprachiasmatic nucleus.

Delta waves normal.
Two cycles per second.

Cardiac pressure normal.

Willy, it's perfect.

WILLY: No, no, it's not perfect.

The alpha and beta waves
are increasing.

The pressure is rising.

It's an effect of the radiation
on the limbic circuit evolution.

It's absorbing too quickly.

Still rising.

[SCREECHES]

Absurd. It's ridiculous!

Well, it is, nonetheless,
a fascinating theory.

If the data is exact.

It's impossible.
He's making fun of us.

Houseman, your report is as
scanty as it is fascinating.

And notably imaginative.

It would therefore be timely
for you to elucidate

the objective of your research.

Given your request
for new funding

of 150,000 dollars.

I was requested to report
on what I was doing

and to justify my expenses
of last year.

In my report, everything is
specified down to the last cent.

Now, as far as
my experiments are concerned,

they are based on
the theory of the mechanism

of auto-destruction
by Brunet.

A ridiculous theory which was
abandoned by Brunet himself!

He abandoned it
because, at the time,

technology for proving it
didn't yet exist.

Today, it is possible.

And you have been successful?

Yes, even if further
experiments are needed.

You mean to say
you've successfully

identified the genetic sequence?

-Yes.
-But that's magnificent!

Undoubtedly.

Now, let me see if I have
this right, Dr. Houseman.

If you inhibit that protein,

canceling the genetic code
which creates it,

in practice the cells will
reproduce themselves integrally

and in a constant manner, hmm?

-Yes.
-So then,

the organs would no longer
become diseased.

The cells of the liver,

brain,

bones, the skin would
reproduce themselves forever.

Which means that old age
would be defeated.

-And even death.
-Perhaps.

You are not only arrogant
and megalomaniacal,

you're also stupid.

-May I go now?
-Dr. Houseman,

your experiments carried out
to date,

on what have they
been performed?

On cell cultures.

This I took for granted.
But of what parasite?

No parasites.

On rats, monkeys?

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Human embryos.

[GASPS]

Those sons of bitches!
Those bureaucrats!

The only thing they care about
is their soft job,

and that pig Lloyd would trade
his only remaining leg

to see me with my back
against the wall.

Perhaps a more
detailed research. One with...

With all the results of
the experi...

No!

I want to finish the experiment
and then report on it

when it's unequivocally
successful.

Only then
will I publish everything.

Don't worry.
We'll find the money somehow.

Even if I have to
trade my shoes in.

Well, I certainly hope
it doesn't come to that.

I wouldn't be able
to live with myself.

Look for the receipts, Willy,
with the bookkeeper's here.

Forget it, Willy.
I am not the bookkeeper.

Excuse the interruption.

PETER: That you are here?

Excuse me, I have some
things I have to do.

I got things I got to do, too.

From the little I understand
of your experiments,

they're really extraordinary.

What's that?

That's a computer I supply
with molecular anatomy.

Fantastic. I know as much
about it as I did before.

What does it do?

Are you really interested?

Well, I am going to be 30.

I'd like to stay that way.

Every living organism,
from the moment it is born

begins a slow
and inexorable deterioration,

which I believe
is predetermined

by genetic information.

Why predetermined?

From the moment that life
stirred in an organism,

it has no more
or no less evolved.

Always adapting itself

into the environment
in which it found itself.

Casual genetic errors
of reproduction

produced mutations which
the environment selected,

rewarding the most adaptable
and suppressing the others.

Do you understand?

It's the environment itself
which establishes

the rules of the game.

Try to imagine
what would happen

if among many genetic
errors occur

one produced an individual which
never aged,

therefore didn't die

and who reproduced other
individuals like himself.

Well, first the environment
would reward such a species.

But before long, the species
would become so dominant

that every source known to man
and space would be used up.

Is that what you mean?

Right.

And in more or less time, the
race will become extinguished

and leave a desert behind.

Where did you go to college?

Columbia.

I'm convinced that the
process of life defends itself

by instilling the obligation
of death to each individual.

In other words, death is
the price we must pay

for the survival of our species.

At least until now.

If he had just followed
customary procedure,

nobody would have questioned him
about anything.

Foolishness.

Insubordination simply
cannot be tolerated

in a university like this one.

MIKE: However, before we shoot
this whole thing down altogether

I would suggest examining this
project without prejudice.

LLOYD: Now we have a lawyer
for the defense!

MIKE: I'm defending
this institute.

It would be very unpleasant
to see his experiments

published by another university,

especially if it turned out
to be correct.

LLOYD: Has his assistant
been questioned?

What's his name? [CLEARS THROAT]
Willy Carson.

MIKE: No, not yet.

LLOYD: Willy, are you on foot?

No, I've got my car parked
just a block down the street.

Get in, I'll give you a ride.

No, please,
don't bother yourself.

It's only a few steps away.

LLOYD: Willy.

I insist.

PETER: How was lunch?

SALLY: You were the main dish.

They served you up
in every possible sauce.

They'll have a bad case
of indigestion.

They've decided to suspend
your research.

They want to verify
all the experiments

that you've carried out
till now.

They can't do it.

I have a contract which
gives me the liberty

of leaving and going elsewhere.

They won't let you to leave.

Experiments with human fetuses
was not authorized.

If you leave,

they will defer you to
the disciplinary committee.

That could block your work
for years.

I'm sorry, Peter.

It's not your fault.
You're not to blame.

Lloyd's been trying to screw me
for a long time.

What will you do?

You'll be the first to know.

[PHONE RINGING]

Yes?

WILLY: Hey Peter,
Lloyd stopped me today.

He asked me to work with him.

He doesn't lose any time,
does he?

What's happening, Peter?

I'm trapped.

As soon as they get
the authorization,

they'll be coming to stick
their nose in all of our work.

After which,
the experiments will continue

under Lloyd's supervision.

WILLY: Isn't there any way
to stop them?

Yes.

PETER: By trying out
the experiment

and proving that it works

before they can intervene.

WILLY: There are too many
unknowns. It's too big a risk.

PETER: I know.

[SUSPENSE MUSIC PLAYING]

Okay, Dr. Houseman.

Thanks for the evening.

Mike, I care for you very much,
but sometimes...

Your wisdom
is very discouraging.

Forgive me if I don't give up.

It never hurts to keep trying.

-Good night, Mike.
-Good night, Sally.

[GASPS]

Calm down, Sally, it's me.

Peter, what are you doing here?

Well, I'm keeping my promise.

I told you that you would be
the first one to know when I...

It's after 1:00.
Can we talk about it tomorrow?

I beat them all.

What do you mean?

The serum, it works.
I tried it.

-Tried it on whom.
-On myself.

I used a small dose,

but the results were even
better than I expected.

Now I can publish everything
and no one will dare to stop me.

Peter, that's fantastic.

I'm really happy for you.

That's all
I really came to tell you.

-You're the only one who knows.
-Thank you.

-I guess I'll be going.
-Wait.

Do you want to come in
for a minute?

-Sure, if it's not too late.
-No!

-I'll make some coffee.
-Okay.

[DOG BARKING]

Alice?

Oh, hello, Sally.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Oh, I went to sleep.

Where's Tommy?

He went to sleep too
and I put him to bed.

Hi, I wasn't sleeping,
I was waiting for you.

Well, I would've been
disappointed if you hadn't.

But now, let's go to bed.

ALICE: I'll go now, Sally.

Call me tomorrow
if you still need me.

-Bye, Alice, thanks.
-Bye-bye.

Good night, Tommy!

Why don't you say hello,

instead of staring at him
as if he were a rare animal?

His name is Peter.

Hello, Tommy, how are you?

I'm sleepy.

Okay. Off to bed.

Why don't you
take off your coat?

I'll be back in a moment.

Can I sleep with you?

No, dear.

Mama has work to do.

That's why
Dr. Houseman came over.

Get a good night's rest,
dearest.

Tommy's a cute kid.

-Are you divorced?
-No.

I've never been married.

Tommy's father was.
Only I didn't know it.

Our romance was washed out
by the terror in his eyes

when I told him I was pregnant.

Is this what you
are looking for?

Thanks.

What did you do to your hand?

I don't know.

Must have hit it
against something.

At least
it isn't bleeding anymore.

Thank you.

Do you want some coffee now?

[SENSUAL INSTRUMENTAL
MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOOR CLOSES]

In the years 1953

to 1955,

it was proposed what afterwards

came to be regarded as
central dogma.

Which affirmed that DNA
did not directly participate

in protein synthesis.

But acted rather as a stamp
for the synthesis of a molecule

of RNA,

which then repeated
the DNA sequence.

The authors of this
dogma were...

Patricia?

Um... Oh, my God, um...

I have it at the tip
of my tongue.

They were the same ones
who discovered

the helical structure.

Yeah, exactly, I meant them.

PETER: Steve?

Watson and Crick, sir.

PETER: Very good, very good.

Okay, that will be all
for today.

-Dr. Houseman?
-Yes.

-What's this?
-It's my address.

I'm having a party at my house.
I'd like it if you could come.

-When?
-Any day.

Any time you like.

[INDISTINCT DIALOG]

Lloyd, you get the hell
out of here!

Calm down.

It's not like you to lose
your pragmatic cordiality.

You get the hell out of here.

You have no authority
to be in here!

Oh, it's only a matter of time.

The usual bureaucratic delays.

At times they are a little slow
and one is tempted to

go around them.
I'm sure you know how it is.

Not this time, you won't.

You do me a favor and
you drag yourself out of here.

If the commission

decides to continue
this experiment,

it will be under my constant
and total control.

You won't be able to
blow your nose in here

without my permission.

[GROANS]

You did that on purpose.

You saw him.

I really couldn't see very well.

I'm sure it was an accident,
Dr. Lloyd.

My God, Peter,
the man is a cripple!

He's not a man, he's a worm.

Willy, what is this?

I don't know.

This is blood.

[RABBIT BREATHING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

[PIANO MUSIC PLAYING]

Okay, Tommy.
Look at me and smile.

[ANIMAL SOUNDS]

Maybe a little less.

SALLY: Tommy,
don't be so crabby.

Here, let me take the camera.
I'll take the picture.

You don't like me too much,
do you?

No.

That's okay.
I don't like you either.

But you know, some of the best
friendships are born this way.

Watch what they do
when I give them these.

[DOOR CLOSES]

TOM: Dr. Houseman.

If you plan to return
like you did the other night,

I won't close.

What do you mean,
like the other night?

The other night, you went in
and came out twice.

You plan to do the same thing
tonight too,

I won't block the gate.

You must be mistaken,
I only came through once.

Oh, here it is.

You came in at 8:45
and left at 10:20.

And then you came back again
at 10 past midnight

and you left at 25
past midnight.

I never sleep on my job.

I remember,
I asked you for a match

and you gave me a packet.
Here it is.

You remember now?

You really don't remember.

I even lent you my handkerchief

so you could tie up
your wounded hand.

-Can I have a beer?
-I'm sorry, we're closing.

-I was here last night.
-Really?

Do you remember me?

Maybe you should
pull your pants down.

Then she'll remember you.
[MAN AT BAR LAUGHING]

Shut up!

Drinking beer?

Lots of people come here.

We can't be expected
to remember everybody.

That will be five dollars.

[SPITS]

You got the guts to
come back here? Bitch!

You bastard!

You...

Not on the face.
Get him over here.

So it's true. You were here
the other night.

I don't know why you were
so stupid to come back.

No! Not me.

That girl lost weeks of work
because of you, you maniac!

No!

LLOYD: Bob, you must decide!

I cannot strip him off his
authority all of a sudden.

We would be risking
an investigation

and the institute
will be involved.

If he attacked you,
he will indemn excuses.

LLOYD: His excuses don't mean
anything to me.

All I want is that
his access to this laboratory

be cut off immediately.

He's cooking something up.

He was furious
when he saw me in there.

Anyone would be furious to find
someone rummaging through

their notes
without authorization.

Well then,
let's hurry up and get it!

Because I believe
that arrogant bastard

is trying to trick us.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[TELEPHONE CONTINUES TO RING]

I'm sorry Sally,
I don't know what to think.

I've looked for him everywhere,
but no one's seen him.

Have you been to his house?

Yes.

And I'm sure,

I'm certain that he's there.

But he just won't come
to the door.

I'm sorry, I've got to go.

If I don't see you again,
Merry Christmas.

[CAR HONKING]

Where have you been?
You disappeared a week ago.

Stop somewhere.

My God, Peter, what happened?

I tried the serum on myself.

At first,
the results seemed positive.

Then something happened.
Something went wrong.

-You're freezing.
-I know.

My body assumes the temperature
of the air around me.

I don't know why.

I don't know
what's happening to me.

The only thing I know is
I have to find a solution soon

or it's over.

You... You shouldn't
have taken the risk.

There were too many unknowns.

Willy, you must help me.

You're the only one
who can do it.

How? They've closed
the laboratory!

Lloyd got the authorization
and they're going through it

-with a fine-tooth comb.
-We'll go back in at night.

We'll repeat the experiment

and try to locate the error
during the inoculation.

It could make it worse.

Willy,

it's a chance
I'm gonna have to take.

I'm dying.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Turn the volume down, Tommy.

Hello.

What? Willy, what did you say?

I... I saw him.

What? Where did you see him?

What?

I told you to turn it down!

Hello? Willy?

Willy, I want to see him.

No! No, absolutely not.
He doesn't want to see anyone.

He doesn't even know
that I've telephoned you.

SALLY: What happened to him?

He's bad off.

WILLY: He's really bad off.

Sally, don't say anything
to anyone.

If anyone can help him
it's himself.

Willy, I want to talk to him,
at least.

No, Sally, he...
he doesn't want it that way.

I'll call you again later.

Thanks.

[BEEPING]

PETER: We'll use
a stronger dose.

I want you to go through
the blood analysis.

The first of the electrophoretic
velocity of the gamma globulin.

We'll repeat the analysis
every ten minutes.

The only way to locate the error
is to start from the beginning.

Willy, tie my wrists.

Why?

To make sure I can't move.

Hello.

Where?

How is he?

[PANTING] I don't know.

Everybody's in there,
including the chancellor.

I can't let him see me. I'd have
to answer too many questions.

What happened?

I don't know.

I'd have to go back
to the laboratory

and complete the experiment
to be certain.

It's the only way to save him.

Here.

-Take this.
-What is it?

It's the result
of two years of research.

It belongs to Peter.

-Sorry, ma'am, you can't go in.
-I'm from the university.

You can let her pass, it's okay.

-You can't go in. Wait.
-How is he? I want to see him.

There's no use
in your seeing him.

He was in a serious
state of confusion,

now he's under sedation.

Miss Donnelly, who notified you?
Who told you?

SALLY: Willy Carson.

Look for him.
I want to see him right away.

Well, there's no point
in staying here now.

Let me know if there's any news.

Yes, sir.

You need to go home too,
it's bad.

Let's go,
I'll drive you home.

No. I'll stay here.

Mike, what's happened?

Is his life in danger?

Damn it, we don't know.

All we know is he entered
the laboratory with Willy's help

and that he was struck by
a police car,

but it didn't hurt him.
But that's all we know.

But his organism, it's like...

Like what?

Like he had aged 50 years
all at once. It's absurd.

But that's how it is.

Dr. Lester.

They're doing
the blood analysis.

There's some things, I think,
it would be best for you to see.

Or someone might take me
for a madman.

I've never seen
anything like it.

Antibodies of an unknown species
that are fighting his own.

Incredible.

They're obviously stronger
and more virulent.

Ah, I know I'm talking heresy,
but I don't think they're human.

[SHOCKED WHISPER] Peter.

Go away.

Sally, go away.

Peter, listen to me.

Whatever's happening to me

isn't going to stop.

Every cell in my body is dying.

Please just go.

Willy said there's still hope.

He gave me the serum.
He gave it to me to keep

-until he finds the solution.
-No.

There is no more solution.

Can't you see that for yourself?

Go away!

No! No, I won't leave.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Sally!

MIKE: Sally, wait!

Wait!

Mike, help me.

It's the program
of the experiment, right?

-Yes.
-No. No.

No, it's not.

Dr. Houseman destroyed
the program disc.

You have a long career
ahead of you, Willy.

Don't throw it away.

Now,

tell me exactly how things stand

and what you were examining.

[ELECTRONIC BEEPING]

A form of aphasia
has also set in,

which is worsening.

He can hardly articulate a word.

He's undergoing
a skeletal deformation as well.

His entire metabolism
is changing.

MIKE: Oh, my God.

It's not a degeneration
gone crazy.

It's an organic mutation.

It's not just a mutation,
it's a regression.

MIKE: What are you
talking about, Lloyd?

I've been studying his notes.

Dr. Houseman injected
himself with cells

with modified DNA.

MIKE: What?

To block the development,

the generic information
that he believed,

controlled cellular aging.

But he opened up
a dormant mutation.

One that hasn't been active
for millions of years.

That information has transformed
him into what we were,

maybe even before the advent
of the mammals,

at a remote time
in our evolution.

My God!
Into what?

I don't know.
We shall see.

He will die before
the transformation is completed.

He's very weak now.

Could be.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

Tommy, get ready,
Alice is here.

ALICE: Hi, Sally. I'm sorry,
I'm late. Is Tommy ready?

SALLY: Just about.
Thank you, Alice.

ALICE: Oh, no problem, Sally!

Do you want him
to sleep there?

SALLY: No. Thank you.

Tommy is such an adorable kid.

Tommy. Tommy!

Gotcha!

ALICE: It's okay, Sally.
It didn't spill.

Hello, Peter.

You wanted to surprise everybody
and you did.

Too bad you'll die before
the process is complete.

But maybe you still don't know
what happened to you.

Maybe you can't even understand
what I'm saying to you.

-I'm listening.
-Oh.

So, you're still a human being.
That is good news.

You know,
I've persuaded Willy

to turn over to me the program
of your experiments.

His career is very important
to me.

He said that I was right.

You know, I've already told
the chancellor

that I'm continuing
with your experiment,

in memory of your sacrifice.

I told him that I had
misjudged you, you know.

He was very touched.

Now, however,
you must hurry up and die.

I'm gonna dissect you
to find out

what the devil you've become.

I can satisfy your curiosity
right now.

[YELLING]

I won't die,
now that you're here.

Metamorphosis will continue
as long as I have what I need.

You traitor, old Lloyd.

Oh, no!

Now, I have to...

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Do you know where
he might have gone?

No, I don't know.

Why were the heart and liver
ripped out of this victim?

MAN: Merry Christmas!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

Merry Christmas!
Ho! Ho! Ho!

Hello! Hello!

Oh, thank you!

Merry Christmas!
Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho! Ho!

[SCREAMS]

-Sally.
-Peter?

Turn off the light.

Why did you leave the hospital?

Don't come any closer.

I want the serum.

What do you wanna do with it?

Peter, go back to the hospital.
Let them help you.

Nobody can help me.

My body is mutating
more and more quickly.

I must return to the laboratory.

Mutating?

What do you mean?

It means...

That I'm becoming
a living fossil.

But what is more amusing

is that the experiment works.

And what I've become,

I shall be forever.

[TELEPHONE RINGING]

Hello.

MIKE: Sally,
Peter has gone crazy.

He's killed Lloyd and escaped.

We don't know where he went.

-Mike, he is here!
-[GRUNTS]

Hello. Sally!

[GRUNTING]

Give me the serum!

[PETER GROANING]

What was that?

It's in the laboratory,
on the ground floor.

I'll call Steve at the entrance.

[PETER BREATHING HEAVILY]

Hey!

Hey! Is anyone down there?

We're over here!

[PETER BREATHING HEAVILY]

[MUFFLED SCREAM]

-Tommy, where's the key?
-Don't know!

Where? Find it.
Come on!

[PETER GRUNTING]

[SCREAMING]

-It's horrible!
-Sally, it's all right.

-It's over, Sally!
-He's inside!

-[LOUD THUD]

[REPTILIAN SCREECHES]

What was it?

A nightmare.

From the past!

Mike! That...

-That's not Peter, right?
-No.

Mike. He said that he
would be transformed

and he even said that
whatever he became,

he would remain
forever, understand?

He said that he would never die
because what...

In spite of everything
his experiment was successful.

MIKE: No, no. Peter is dead.
Believe me.

INSPECTOR: What happened to him?

My God! It's incredible.

The degradation of his cells
wasn't arrested.

He decomposed.

INSPECTOR: We'll have to
make a report.

Wayne, call the station
and them what's happened here.

Yes sir.

It's gonna be difficult
to convince a jury that this...

This stuff was once a man.

Tommy!

Here I am, mama.

Everything's going to
be okay, honey.

It's all over, honey.
Everything's going to be okay.

It's all done.

But I persist in believing

it's ridiculous to make such
a long trip by car.

We'll stop along the way.

Tommy!

I'm coming.

Tommy and I,
we're not in any hurry.

It'll be like a little vacation.

Hey. Happy to be
going back to New York?

Well, bon voyage, little guy.

I'll come see you soon, okay?

Mike... Thanks
for everything, Mike.

[ENGINE STARTING]

[RADIO RELAYING SPORTS NEWS]

Tommy, where did you find that?

Let him go or you'll kill it.

No, don't worry.
I won't hurt him.

He won't die.
He won't ever die.
