Without any question, genetic engineering is the first and the final

scientific investigation as we prepare to enter the 21st century.

And here at Regenitech, we are on the cutting edge of the upcoming scientific

revolution. And with your company's help, we can proceed to the next level

our research.

Undifferentiated DNA.

The basic building block of all living organisms.

What is that?

We call it smart DNA.

And it's a complete breakthrough in genetic research.

Smart DNA. Sounds more like science fiction to me.

If you will.

Allow me to demonstrate.

Gentlemen and ladies, meet Prometheus.

A rat?

That's correct.

And in almost all respects, a rather ordinary one.

Except Prometheus has been injected with the smart DNA.

How? Well, people, you've convinced me.

You've got your money.

And don't you pay anything.

Say what, Cordell?

That I look good in a tuxedo. Now, why in the world would I say that you look

good in a... You do look good in a tuxedo.

I can't win here.

You ought to wear one more often.

Susan! Hey!

Hi!

Hi, Susan.

Everyone, this is Keith. Keith Portman.

Alex. How do you do?

Great. I'm Jimmy Trebek. Nice to meet you.

Walker. Hi, how are you? Nice to meet you.

These are my very special friends that I've been telling you about.

Feeling pretty good.

Wait till tomorrow and see if he's chilly, really.

Can't wait.

My friends really liked you.

Oh, good.

I like them, too.

I've got lunch tomorrow.

Only if it's my treat.

It's a deal.

This is mine.

You gave me this, Master, eh?

Yes. For your birthday.

Thirty years ago.

The Lama has returned!

In the eyes of a ranger, the unsuspecting stranger had better know

wrong from right.

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

Any wrong you do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.

Come on, Max, let's go.

Max, come on.

Hey, what's going on?

What are you guys doing?

Hey, none of my business.

Maybe we can go over this one more time.

Tell me again what happened.

I had just come out to walk the dog, and I saw him dump Miss Lee into the back

of the van.

You say there were three of them?

Yeah, three.

You know, I started after them to, you know, to try to help, but cowards took

off before I could do anything.

Good thing for them, too.

All right, thank you, sir. Yeah.

Check the house.

No forced entry. No sign of a struggle.

What does that mean?

It's me.

Walker, that's Susan's son, Davey.

They began about four weeks ago.

What began four weeks ago?

My dream, that someone was hurting my mom.

Who was hurting your mom, Davey?

I don't know. It was kind of confusing.

Wait a second.

You're telling us, Davey, you came 6 ,000 miles because you were having a bad

dream?

I'll bring this to a vet.

You have kept your skepticism.

It's not skepticism.

All right, it's skepticism.

You see, Ranger Chibet, in Buddhism, we believe that all things are a

manifestation of a single greater consciousness.

While we are awake, our ego prevents us from getting in touch with its highest

dream.

But when we are asleep, our ego is off guard, and we are able to tap

into it.

Two days ago, the dreams got really bad.

No, not bad.

Urgent. I knew my mother needed me.

All right, hold on.

Somebody broke into Regina Tech.

That's where Susan works.

Mr. Walker, this involves

my

mother. I can be helpful.

Please let me go with you.

They do have a very strong connection.

Okay, Davey, you go.

What if this isn't standard procedure?

Well, Davey's not a standard kid, you bet.

The victim's name was Bart Baker.

According to his supervisor, he was an amateur bodybuilder, runner -up in Mr.

Longhorn competition last year.

He took quite a beating, and whoever did it had to be real strong.

Kid had a neck like a fireplug, and it was snapped like a toothpick.

Okay, thank you.

Whoever threw this guy, threw him so hard he almost went through the door.

Walker, there's no human being that strong.

The ultimate warrior.

Superhuman strength.

Cat -like reflexes.

Training in the martial arts and hand -to -hand combat.

And now the gift of invincibility.

Thanks to Miss Lee and her smart DNA.

Doctor, do you know what they were after?

Do you have any idea if anything was stolen?

You know, it's strange.

Only a few pieces were taken.

A few prototype machines, some growth enzyme, and some of Susan's blood

Could be industrial espionage.

Well... You know, we can't rule anything out, but it doesn't make any sense.

Why not?

Whoever did this would never be able to market it without immediately

identifying themselves as the people behind the break -in.

So you have no idea who could have done this?

No, I don't. Ranger Walker.

I just heard.

Has there been any more... Davey.

Hi. I'm Keith Portman.

I'm a friend of your mother. She told me a lot about you.

Has there been any more word on Susan?

No, not yet.

Dr. Buckler, what exactly was Susan working on?

You know, we could try to explain it to you, but if our assumptions are correct,

and with Davy's permission, I think maybe a demonstration

of Susan's research will clarify everything.

on him just like that, okay?

Thank you.

I've been here before.

Your mother said that she'd only been working here a couple of months, Davey.

I mean in my dreams.

Here we go.

A string of normal, undifferentiated DNA.

A string of Susan Lee's DNA.

The most genetically advanced DNA I have seen in over 20 years of research.

Oh, my God.

That's incredible.

Davey's DNA is to Susan's what Susan's is to normal.

So Davey and Susan's DNA...

have the ability to transform themselves in a time of crisis.

How do you know that?

This is absolutely the cutting edge of biotechnology.

Well, when I first met Davey, he cut himself.

Yeah, and it healed up instantly.

But Master Ren said that that was magic.

You know, Richard Trevett, magic is a word that people use for something

isn't able to explain.

And your research?

It changes everything.

In effect, what we are talking about is a complete medical revolution.

Providing new ways of dealing with everything.

From a common cold to cancer.

And Susan Lee's DNA is the key?

That's why they abducted her.

Thank you.

Ah, Dr. Lee.

I see you are back with us.

What do you want?

Who are you?

All in due time, Doctor. All in due time.

What are you doing?

No.

No.

Why? Why are you doing that?

After we left Dee Dee's, I took her home.

Kissed goodnight, made plans for lunch, and then I left.

What time did she leave?

About 11, I think it was.

It's our first date.

Valentine's Day.

I can't believe that... Have they hurt her?

Come here, baby.

Why would you say that?

Remember when I told you about my dreams? About someone hurting my mother?

Uh -huh. They started four weeks ago yesterday.

Valentine's Day.

Anything I'll keep, Portman?

Not a thing.

You know what's bugging me?

I run a name through this computer, something always pops up.

Over your library book, parking ticket, some type of complaint, right?

This guy, he's way too clean for me.

Well, for some reason, Davey doesn't trust him.

He's dreams Davey's having. You really think there's something to him?

Yeah, I do.

Doctor, there's something that concerns me.

Yes?

monastery we seek to remove ourselves from the world to isolate ourselves that

is true but there's so much evil in the world ah young master you are asking as

they say on bumper stickers here in the united states if we are not part of the

solution are we then not part of the problem ah

ying and yang right and

dark.

Man and woman, good and evil.

Now, none of these may exist without the other.

So does Buddhism teach that we must simply accept evil?

No, Devi.

It merely awakens us to it and teaches us to see it clearly.

How we deal with it is up to us.

World Government, Dr. Lee.

One single body charged with overseeing the manufacture and fair distribution of

goods and resources around the world.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but that's already been tried.

It was called communism, and it failed.

Yes, it did, but I will not.

What does this have to do with me?

It is your research which makes it all possible. My research?

Don't be modest, Dr. Lee.

I'm well aware of the work you are doing at Regenetech.

Smart DNA.

And then to cancer, genetic disease, paralysis.

The beginnings of immortality.

You're insane.

Dr. Butler.

Mr. Walker.

Sorry to bother you, but I'd like to ask you a few more questions.

Certainly.

You said that whoever broke in here knew exactly what to take.

That's correct.

But if you're thinking that this might have been some kind of inside job, you

can forget it.

Our people are among the highest paid in the entire industry.

And our personnel screening process makes the Pentagon proud.

What about Keith Portman?

Keith Portman?

You can't be serious.

I am serious.

Keith Portman's credentials are impeccable.

He finished at the top of his class in bioengineering at Cal Poly.

Ranger Walker, I don't mean to tell you your business, but with his record and

his recommendations, Regenetech was darn lucky to get Keith.

What's wrong?

We get it.

But it worked.

The wound healed itself in a matter of seconds.

Yes, yes, I know that.

Look at the scar tissue.

In the event of a wound to the body, it could be merely just superficial.

But in the event of a wound to the heart of the brain, it could prove to be a

significant problem.

And this, thanks to Susan's son, is a significant solution.

It's a sign of some kind.

Yeah.

But where?

E -W -S.

Trevette, run a check on all businesses in the Metroplex that have the letters E

-W -S in them.

Davey, now you said that you saw this while you were meditating.

Mr. Wren, I have an idea.

This is Susan's DNA.

The same DNA that we cloned and injected into Boris.

And this is her son's.

Incredible.

Will it solve the problem?

I don't know.

But there's only one way to find out. With this sample and the materials that

borrowed from her genotype.

We should be able to clone all the smart DNA that we're ever going to need.

How long will this take?

I can probably have it finished in less than an hour.

Excellent.

You're not going to hold this against me, are you?

You're not going to hold this against me, are you?

What did you see, Davey?

Equipment, like in a lab.

Stuff that was stolen from her genotype?

Could be.

What else did you see?

Keith Portman. He was there, too.

He blew my mom a kiss.

But he didn't mean it.

I think it's time we had another talk with Keith Portman.

It won't work.

Why not?

Settings on the centrifuge.

They're not right.

What is she talking about?

Nothing.

She's lying.

Okay, fine.

Have it your way.

But it won't work.

Are you positive that the settings are correct?

He doesn't know. He never handled that part of the procedure.

Why would she help us?

It's my research.

I've devoted everything to it.

If it's going to be done, I want it to be done right.

I guess I'm not so insane after all.

I knew that your scientific curiosity would get the better of you.

All right, Dr. Lee.

Adjust the machine.

The centrifuge is replaceable. She is not.

You, too.

Take her to her room.

And you, Dr. Portman, had better get us another centrifuge from Regenitech.

You're a hard man to find, Mr. Portman.

Come on.

We need to ask you a few questions.

We already know you're involved with Susan Lee's disappearance. Look, make it

easier on yourself.

Make it easier on yourself.

Tell us where she is.

I already told you, Ranger Trevette. I have nothing more to say on this

conversation until I speak with my attorney.

Keith Fulton has been arrested.

We don't have enough genetic material.

And we need that equipment to make more.

Without it, we're finished.

Maybe not.

What do you mean?

Well, Doctor, if Mohammed will not come to the mountain...

The apartment's crying for his attorney and he's not

going to talk until he gets here.

You know, something must have happened.

He took a big gamble trying to steal a second centrifuge.

And it didn't pay off.

So what would be their next move?

Gabe.

What do you want?

Put him down.

You did hit him, didn't you?

Dead thinner.

It's okay, Mom.

It's going to be okay.

I found 47 companies in the Metroplex whose names contain some combination of

the letters EWS.

So even if we mobilize the entire task force, it could take days to find the

right one.

Tell them to get on it, and we don't have days.

You got it.

sign before when I was meditating, but only a part of it.

What is it, Davey?

I have an idea.

Maybe there's a way to have Ranger Walker help us.

I can have everything ready by morning, but without the equipment to replicate

the DNA, the procedure is very dangerous.

The boy could die.

A small sacrifice for an immeasurably greater good.

Get started.

E .F. Matthews Engineering.

E .F. Matthews Engineering.

E .F. Matthews Engineering.

They're down off commerce.

Davey and Susan are somewhere near there.

Let's find them.

Get the boy.

I've got a question.

When we find these guys, what are we going to do about our gorilla from the

monastery? We'll figure it out when we get there.

Thanks.

Remember, behave yourself or your mother dies.

Call for backup.

Dispatch, this is Trevette. We need some backup at the south alley of Malcolm X

and Trailer in Deep Allen.

We've got company It's a Texas Ranger

kill him Let us get out of here

Take the train.

Run!

Get back!

Watch out!

Get the pen. Come on.

Get him again. Come on.

Hello?

It's like my father always says, just because you can do something doesn't

that you should.

Yeah, but your research seems so important.

It is.

But we've gotten too far ahead of ourselves. There's just too much we

understand.

So, for now, my work will remain where it belongs, in the realm of theory

than practice.

Well, I'll be a speckled trunk.

Come on over here, you guys, and get a bowl of Davies recipe chili.

We call it Dolly Llama Lava.

What?

Honey, you look awful.

Well, I got whipped on pretty good.

It hurt?

A little bit, especially right here.

Can I make you feel better?

There's a little bit here too.

Oh, there too?

Cause the eyes of the ranger are upon you.

He won't do, he's gonna see.

When you're in Texas, look behind you.

Cause that's where the ranger's gonna be.
