We're ready for your sister now.

All right.

Good morning, Ms. Barnes.

I'm Special Agent Wollstonecraft.

This is Special Agent Godwin.

We'd like to begin your deposition right away.

Ms. Barnes, would you please state your full name for the camera?

Dr. Elizabeth Julia Barnes.

And what is it that you're a doctor of?

I once held a doctorate in molecular biology.

Thank you.

Now, Ms. Barnes, in 2007, you joined a research group funded by Dr. Walton

as the Prometheus Project.

Dr. Walton and his organization are currently under investigation for human

organ trafficking.

as well as conducting illegal medical research of which you were principally

involved in. Will you please tell us the circumstances regarding your

association with Dr. Walton?

I used to be regarded as one of the youngest stem cell researchers in the

country, and Walton knew it.

He had cancer.

So he started recruiting researchers from all over the world to be part of

private research project.

Dr. Walton's ready to see you now.

Walton was a well -known supporter of experimental treatment.

A humanitarian.

But there was a dark side to him. A side the medical community never saw.

Dr. Walton.

Elizabeth Barnes.

Barnes. Pleasure. Please have a seat.

Dr. Walton, can I take your blood pressure now?

No, I'm fine. Just leave us.

So, are you familiar with the story of Prometheus?

No, I'm afraid my Greek mythology is a little weak.

Well, Prometheus was a god who stole fire from Zeus, gave it to mortals.

Scholars believe that the fire in the story represents the power and the

of God.

I'm the modern -day Prometheus, Elizabeth.

I've been searching for that fire my entire life.

Walton believed that a stem cell -based regenerative healing serum would be

like...

It would be like having the power of God in a single syringe. I left for

Walton's research facility the very next day.

But before I tell you what happened there, you must understand that I am not

proud of what I did.

I had my reasons and pride.

Pride was one of them.

But I believe my heart was in the right place and my path was paved with good

intentions.

But as you can see now, I paid the price for it.

Hello?

Hi, um... Dr. Elizabeth Barnes.

Yes, hi.

May I see some ID, please?

Of course.

Right you are.

One moment, please.

Mr. Grone will be with us in a moment.

Quite brave enough to be a doctor, Missy.

Aren't you a little large, you leprechaun?

Never underestimate the size of good luck.

David Doyle, one of the members of Marcus Grone's security team.

Can you explain his role at the facility?

He and the other guards were supposed to make sure our work remained safe and

confidential.

He didn't do a very good job at that, did he?

Ms. Barnes, Marcus Groen. Great to meet you. The pleasure is all mine. It's nice

to finally meet you in person, actually.

Thank you.

Dr. Walton speaks highly of your work. I would like to begin by introducing you

to your new team members and then continuing on a tour of our facility.

that sound, Ms. Barnes? That sounds fantastic.

Excellent. Thank you, David. Can you explain to us more about Marcus Groen's

role at the facility?

Thank you.

Now, in order to maintain secrecy here, Miss Barnes, we must live by a few

rules. Rules which we will go through at a later point in time, but for now the

most important rule is in regards to the basement level.

For the time being, you are strictly forbidden from accessing that level.

Dr. Travelle and I have access there.

What's on the basement level?

All in time, we'll include you in on that circle.

For the time being, it is strictly off limits.

I see.

Now. Before I introduce you to the rest of the group, there is one thing I would

like to say.

Whatever your reasons for coming here, Miss Barnes, you have taken a

risk. A risk we believe comes from a place of pure devotion to this cause.

Rest assured, Miss Barnes, you are doing a good thing here.

I wouldn't be here if I thought I wasn't.

Excellent.

In that case, welcome to the Prometheus Project.

Please.

Hello.

Introductions, please. I guess we'll move down the line.

William. William McKinnon. Before I joined the project, I did my residency

Johns Hopkins. I'm the lead surgeon here and also the primary lab technician, so

I take care of all the tissue samples, ensure their integrity, and make sure

they're going to work for us. I look forward to working with you. Good to

you, too.

I'm Dr. Niraj Sahir. I work closely with Dr. Travert.

Our work is the primary focus of this project.

I must say, Dr. Barnes, that we've read your published work, and for a person so

new to the field, you're quite impressive.

Your research on regenerative anomalies within fertilized embryonic cells gave

us some cause to re -examine our methods.

I'm personally looking forward to working with you.

You as well. Thank you.

I'm Ira Gorman. I'm a data systems expert. I handle all the information

processing as well as maintain our private data networks.

I'm a Sagittarius. I enjoy long walks in the park. I'm allergic to peanuts.

Enough. Enough. Thank you, Ira.

Victoria.

Dr. Victoria Travell.

I interned with Dr. Walton after graduating from Columbia. I've been head

research on this project since its inception.

In another month, I'll have been on the project two full years.

Let me ask you a question, Ms. Barnes.

Of course.

Currently, our government prohibits unregulated stem cell research.

Each of us understands completely that what we're doing here is illegal, that

we're taking significant risk to our lives, our reputations, and our personal

freedoms because we believe what we can do in the lab could have results that

could benefit humanity as a whole.

We believe it's that ideal that negates our personal risk entirely, without a

question.

And that is why we are here.

Please.

Tell us why you are here.

I'm not going to some goddamn experimental treatment center so they

needles in me and cut me open. Mom, the doctors at Walton's Cancer Treatment

Facility are on the cutting edge of science, and you have no idea what it

to get you in there. You're going. And as you know, I've taken care of your

mother's medical expenses and debts.

I'm not going, Elizabeth, so you don't have to do anything for me. You are

going. Oh, no.

Oh, Jesus, Mom.

Oh, God. No, no, no, I'm fine. Let me do this.

Please just let me do this thing for you.

What does Walton want you to do for him?

Are you ready to fulfill your end of the agreement?

Yes, I am.

Excellent. As for my personal reasons, well, forgive me, but those are mine and

mine alone.

The fact is we have the opportunity to heal the sick, eradicate disease, and

yes, I do know that doing this work unlawfully like this may ostracize me

the field for the rest of my life, but that's a risk I'm willing to take.

Because I think we can do amazing things here.

And like all of you, I've decided that the end justifies these means.

Fair enough, Miss Barnes.

Look forward to working with you.

So, would you describe your relationship with Dr. Tavell as tense from the

start?

Tense? What was your relationship with the other members of the team?

Agreeing to the project meant that we all had to live in the building.

It was like living in a morgue.

But Dr.

McKinnon... He was kind enough to make me feel welcome. There are over 300

in this building.

It's like a maze.

Walton had them all converted back in the mid -60s.

At some point, you will get lost.

I know you're a molecular biologist and not a surgeon, but this is where

Walton... carried out his early transplant work.

Why are you showing me this?

You guys haven't begun human trials yet, have you? Not quite.

And Marcus, where did he get his embryonic samples from?

That's the one question you're not supposed to ask. So a trip down to the

basement might clarify that for me. They're not likely to let you in on that

one.

Not until they know that they can trust you.

So basically you're telling me I'm a prisoner here until that happens.

No, you're not a prisoner. Not at all.

In fact, you're going to find more research freedom within these walls than

any other laboratory.

But it's not just about Dr. Waltman's personal fountain of youth.

There are projects like this one taking place all over the world.

The first team to create a universal stem cell based regenerative healing

is going to make billions.

I asked you about human trials and you said not quite. Not quite.

What does that mean?

Follow me.

When the project started, they did the serum on chimpanzees, and this is where

they kept them.

Tell me again, I'm not a prisoner here?

No, you're not a prisoner.

But that's not to say you shouldn't be careful.

Are you okay, Ms. Barnes?

I'm sorry.

Where was I?

Don't worry.

Everything will be fine.

This is our research log.

You'll need to know this forward and backward before you can be ready to

us. What's the current status of the project?

Undifferentiated cell manipulation.

We've had success in altering our fertilized stem cells with foreign DNA

applying them to dead and diseased tissue masses with encouraging results.

Describe encouraging.

Encouraging is a word.

It means to promote, advance, or foster.

I encourage you to read through this before you ask us any more questions

our progress, Ms. Barnes.

Thank you.

You're not going to run this one off, too, I hope.

She'll have to earn her keep.

Naturally. I have an idea that could take us in a new direction.

I'll need for examples immediately.

Is there a dawn ready?

Yes.

Dr. Travell, what a pleasure to see you down here again.

Kima, the doctor's here for your extraction.

This is my second one.

The last one hurt afterwards.

Will this one hurt too?

It'll be the same.

When you finish changing, please lie down on the table.

Some of the girls are saying that too many of these will damage me inside and

I'll never be able to have children of my own.

But I only owe you one more after this.

And then I'm done.

Then I can go.

We're done now. At

this

point, did you have any idea that the

embryonic material being used in the experiments was being obtained on site?

No. Mark has kept an assortment of runaways, drug addicts.

Illegals. They were being artificially inseminated to produce embryos for our

research.

Each girl had to produce three samples and their debt to Marcus would be paid

off.

anymore. Ms. Barnes, can you please skip ahead to the part about the development

of the serum and the situation regarding David Doyle?

you write this report.

The gestation periods were too slow. The cells are losing energy and momentum.

We need to find a way of speeding up the process. You've openly disparaged a

year's worth of our work. No, and we wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the

you and Neeraj have done, but we're at a dead end.

You have yet to bring a single worthwhile theory to the table. Listen,

that certain cells have the ability to clone themselves, while other cells have

the ability to transform into completely different cells when exposed to

external DNA. But because of the separation, Victoria, we're stuck.

We've got to engineer a cell that can do both.

Victoria. What?

Is what she's saying even possible? No. Yes. It's a matter of isolating the DNA

strain for both actions and then combining them. A serum composed of that

of cell can conceivably regenerate entire organs in a short amount of time,

consuming dead tissue, replacing it with living tissue. And the action would be

progressive. It means no regression or decay.

A differentiated processing cell.

A universal healing cell. Yes.

The encoding process needed to isolate those DNA strands that you're talking

about is a monumental task unto itself. I know.

Are we capable of processing that kind of data?

Yeah. We'll need to make some upgrades, but I think we can do it. Go for it.

What? Go for it.

The task of crafting the hybrid cells was not as easy as I thought it would

My tissue samples showed promise of regeneration, but soon began to decay

rapidly.

I worked tirelessly, sleeping little.

At night, when I was restless, I ran the halls, listening to my notes read back

to me, looking for holes in my research.

Marcus had given me freedom to work as I pleased, but still, they watched me.

I was focusing on a heart cell serum that showed so much promise.

I gathered my team together for a formal demonstration of the serum.

And it failed miserably.

I was embarrassed.

Ashamed.

Victoria used my failure to rally the others against me.

Tensions were so high.

I felt like a failure, but I pushed on, using my mistakes to refocus. And once I

rededicated myself, I slept less and worked more.

I stopped thinking about the armed guards that watched me. They didn't

because I was making myself a prisoner of my own obsession.

That's when I made my breakthrough.

I regathered my team to try again.

This time, for Walton himself.

Dr. Walton, in the past two weeks, we've been able to stabilize a hybrid cell

serum using opposing forms of DNA. Our preliminary tests on dead cell cultures

were so rapid, moving, and extraordinary that we're attempting direct organ

application today.

We've chosen to use our cadaver's heart, the last major organ in our possession,

specifically to see if the serum can not only repair the heart tissue, but also

reinstate the heart cell's inherent ability to independently beat.

and contract.

Dr.

Walton, may we present to you...

Your universal healing serum.

Miss Barnes seems to be worth her weight in gold.

I want you to give her full reign and a project.

Whatever she wants to do.

And what about Victoria?

Should she just step aside?

No, she stays.

Just let them duke it out.

Competition is the mother of invention.

A man in your line of work should know that.

She's been in there for over an hour.

Get out of here.

So, tell me again why I am sewing up a dead girl, Elizabeth?

What you're suggesting is completely unethical.

Unethical? After what I've seen here tonight, the only ethical thing we can

here is try and bring her back. Oh, come on. This is ridiculous.

Ridiculous.

Don't do it. I'll just go talk to Marcus.

What is going on here? One of the women in your baby car is in a race.

What are they doing in there?

Sewing her up.

Why? Because we should test the serum. What? We should test the serum. What

could it cause? She's dead.

What harm?

Are we doing this or what?

Go get your serum. For someone who claims to have had minor interest in the

project, you seem to have changed your tune a bit. I thought that I might have

created something that could revolutionize medicine as we knew it. It

intoxicating.

But it was a mistake.

The serum was too strong. It worked too fast.

We pumped that poor girl full of every ounce of serum we had and waited to see

what would happen.

And then?

She was wild.

We had

to fight to keep her strapped to that

table.

The masturbation period went too quick.

We should have induced a coma to allow the serum more time.

Preemptive coma. I'd say she was beyond comatose, wouldn't you?

It would have allowed the process more time to fully complete itself prior to

reanimation. It's bioless and acidic.

I can feel it burning.

You didn't anticipate anything like this happening, did you?

You know, we could have tested this first.

Anything but apply an untested serum. You're going to blame me.

Yeah, we're on our way down there now, Marcus.

What does he want us to do with this?

I don't know.

Go.

Marcus, we've got a problem.

Aye, sir.

Come on, sweetheart.

Where you hiding?

After she killed the guard, we tried to sedate her.

The serum inside her was stronger than any sedative we had.

She was terrible.

That cage was our only option.

This was an enormous

failure.

And I'm putting an end to it. She's already dying.

We should end her suffering and euthanize her. Immediately.

There's cyanide in the lab. We can treat her.

No, enough.

No cyanide. I will take care of this.

Marcus.

Please, let me try and treat her.

Response. Please.

Listen, there might be something there. We don't know that there could be

something, anything.

Let me try.

I thought that if I could get her to speak, to show that there was something

human left inside,

Marcus would spare her life.

You have to say something.

Just tell me what's wrong. I can help you.

You have to say something.

Just say something!

Anything! Say something!

It hurts.

I'm sorry, but I can't continue here.

For nearly a year and a half, I've worked side by side with Victoria.

A year and a half.

Do you think she said goodbye to me?

No. You may need to inject her with some of your serum.

She's a lifeless human.

You're right.

William, listen to me.

Healing the sick, that's a beautiful and noble thing. But remember this.

All things that live must die.

It's part of the evolution of life itself. Everything must die.

The only true absolute.

What happened last night was unforgivable.

And one day we will all pay the consequences for it.

I suggest you leave while Marcus still allows you to.

Goodbye. Dr.

Sahir is still listed as a missing person.

Any idea what might have happened to him?

God, I can only imagine.

Yes, why?

Tell us about what led to the next phase of your research.

So you can see her entire intestinal tract is just mush.

But apart from her intestines, all her other organs are perfectly intact.

That might have been a nutritional deficiency.

Such rapid cellular activity would require an equal amount of energy.

Maybe that's why her intestines ate themselves away.

We might have been more successful had we initiated fuel into the process.

Perhaps we can learn from this mistake.

Let's get her on ice for now.

Look, I just went down to Kima's room. She's not there now. What the fuck

happened? My daughter, there's nothing I could have done. What do you mean

there's nothing you could do? That was the most fucked up thing I've ever seen

in my life.

Kima got sick.

Marcus said we had to put her down. What the fuck do you mean by that?

Marcus, Marcus shot her.

Marcus did what? Marcus shot her in cold blood, alright?

I'm sorry.

and talk to me, Doyle?

You and I need to have a few words, please.

You can talk to my representation, can't you?

Mr. Groen?

Hi. I'm Paul Fitcher. I'm Mr. Doyle's attorney.

And my client would like to discuss the situation here in the building.

It seems he's unwittingly involved himself in some sort of illegal

Really? Apparently.

There are experiments being conducted here involving human trafficking.

And, Mr. Doyle...

isn't quite clear as to exactly what's going on, having no formal knowledge, of

course. Paul.

Paul.

Cut to the chase, please. How much does your client want?

Well, since Mr. Doyle has no grudge against you or Dr. Walton or the

organization, we felt as if a mutual settlement might be in order to prevent

us... How?

...going to the other one. You fucking prick.

Killed my unborn child and the girl I love. There's no price tag on that.

But you're going to pay anyway, Marcus.

Or I'm going to burn you on this place to the fucking ground. Do you understand

that?

500K.

You really loved that little...

I used to run black market organs out of South Korea, Singapore, Brazil.

Three times before, someone tried to pull the same shit on me. Do you know

took care of him, David?

How?

You fucking...

I just had a situation with David and his associate. They threatened to go to

the police and put us all in jail for the rest of our lives.

But I took care of it.

Them.

So now we have to figure out how we're going to handle this situation.

I want to see.

Go ahead.

You three stay.

Seems we have ourselves in a bit of a situation here, haven't we?

And I'm assuming that if we were to turn you in for this, that you would be

forced to do the same to us.

Very well, then.

I think it would be in all of our best interest to fix this.

Now, I want you all to follow my train of thought, no matter how outlandish it

might seem.

I think we should continue on the path our recent work has taken us.

Right now, those men are dead. Under a more scientific regimen, we might be

to regenerate their tissue, perhaps reanimate them, and in a sense, wipe the

slate clean of what Marcus here claims he had to do. Victoria, would they

remember anything?

Think about this, Marcus.

You blew most of their brains out at pretty close range.

Even with complete brain regeneration, I'd be shocked if they still had the

inherent ability to breathe, let alone the ability to come after you, Marcus.

Interesting.

Thoughts from the group, please.

Please. But before any of you comment on Dr. Travell's proposal, please

understand that the situation here has just changed dramatically.

You see, I know...

Everything there is to know about all of you.

From your brother's legal issues to your sick mother.

I know the real reasons why you're all here, so let's just stop pretending like

any of you have a choice in this matter.

Very good.

You wanted to see me, Dr. Walton?

Marcus has more issues with his team.

I'm sending you back to Phoenix to stabilize things.

How long this time?

Indefinitely. Are you two just going to stand there, or would you like to help

me assess this tissue loss?

Of the two, I'd say that David is the better candidate. His physical shape is

far more ideal than the other man's.

William? I'd agree.

Nothing like putting an idea to the test, huh?

We'll need to plan this procedure thoroughly.

Ira, let's get a close -up of the subject's wound.

We'll need to conduct this in stages. We'll begin by inducing arterial

circulation with a pump and a preemptive coma with pentobarbital. That should

prevent any premature reanimation. Now, the trick here will be in restoring life

function without actually restoring life. That is, until the time is right.

We'll closely monitor tissue regeneration, provide the cellular

necessary proteins.

We'll need an EEG monitor, too.

Now, the moment we receive an electrical signal, provided all the other organs

are stable,

Take him off the pentobarbital.

I'm good.

And then we'll see what happens.

Absolutely no signs of rigor mortis, talimortis, liver mortis, alga mortis,

decomposition. We should get him on the ventilator immediately, though, just in

case.

His tissue is in such an odd state.

Neither living nor dead.

Hmm.

Now that's odd.

It's irises.

Not only are they extremely healthy looking, they're vibrant.

Did you see that?

Let's give him another take. So we're trying to revive him.

We're just going to see if he starts to watch.

I was done.

I wanted to leave.

Where do you think you're going?

So your participation from that point on was involuntary?

Yes.

Open his airway. He can't breathe.

Get him some water.

Go. I've got him. I've got him.

Hurry up.

Swallow. Swallow.

Swallow. Oh,

fuck. Shit.

Let him rest. Let him rest.

Okay.

Don't blame me.

Careful, careful.

You got him?

I will be calling Dr. Walton in the morning.

I think we should hold off on that. He is alive, is he not, Victoria?

We need to run some cognitive tests.

He may be alive, but we don't know the extent of his brain function.

It would be completely improper of us to claim success when we don't know if

we've actually helped our patient.

And he is a patient. Let's not forget that. He's an approximately 32 -year

male recovering from severe brain trauma.

He may have little to no functionality.

We need to be prepared for anything.

Here, David.

Are you hungry?

Let's try this.

Open.

Excellent.

Very good.

Open.

Hello, David.

Would you like to try walking again? Walking?

Take his other hand.

Be right back.

Take his fucking hand.

No, he's not like an infant. I mean, in some ways, yes, but his development is

much faster. And it's not...

It's not like memory either.

What? Is he mimicking or what? No.

He's learning.

Quickly.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Give me a bandage.

Okay. Okay.

Okay.

It's okay.

What did you say?

Give me some hydrocodone and some water.

It's okay.

I'm going to get you some medicine.

Elizabeth, let's dim the lights. You might be having a migraine.

It's okay.

Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

What?

Elizabeth.

That's really good, David.

Do something.

Elizabeth. Elizabeth.

Elizabeth.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay. In what class did you learn that running away from an emotionally

expressed... Non -expressive patient is a good thing to do. How could you expect

me to just stand there and watch him do that? I expect you to stand there in an

objective manner so our non -expressive patient doesn't fall into emotional

recession. He scares me, Victoria.

What did you say?

I said he scares me.

Victoria. Shut up, William.

How dare you? You're a part of this. He is in there in that condition because of

work. You started.

He is our responsibility. No, he is your responsibility.

We should have turned Marcus in and gotten the fuck out of here.

the rest of our lives in jail?

I don't think so.

Prison is your criminals, Elizabeth.

We're doctors.

We chose life.

Hi, David.

Open.

Close. Close.

Okay.

Swallow.

Open. Good.

Close.

Are you okay?

You know, it's not that she doesn't like you.

She just doesn't know you.

No, no, no, don't do that. Don't do that.

Please don't do that. Please don't. Please don't do that.

Don't do that.

It's okay.

H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q,

R,

The dog chased the cat.

Very good, David.

Very good.

On the birth of a second son, my junior by seven years, my parents gave up

entirely their wandering life and fixed themselves in their native country. We

possessed a house in Geneva.

Where is Geneva?

It's a city in Switzerland.

And where is Switzerland?

We'll find that in another book.

Okay?

And a compagnie on Belle Reve, the eastern shore of the lake, at the

rather more than a league from the city.

We resided principally in the latter, and the lives of my parents were passed

considerable seclusion.

He's like a sponge.

He's read every book we have, cover to cover. And if I give him a page number,

he can recite the entire contents of the page.

That's more than a photographic memory. That's something else entirely.

It's fucking miraculous.

Seriously. When can we inject my brain with that shit?

Hello, David.

Hello.

How are you feeling today?

I'm okay.

That's good.

And how are the headaches today?

They're fine.

So the hydrocodone is helping.

The hydrocodone makes me sleepy.

I see.

Do you remember when we talked about memories and... what memories are?

Yes, I remember.

Have you thought about that any?

Yes. And no.

What do you mean?

I've had some memories, but they're not mine.

And whose are they?

They are yours.

What was that?

I think the things that you think.

Describe what you mean by that.

I can hear the words inside your head.

So you think you can read my mind? Yes.

I'll give it.

I want you to tell me what color I'm thinking of right now.

You are thinking of something called chartreuse.

A mind reader.

Yes. And what kind of test did you run to substantiate this?

And this one? Queen of hearts.

Two of diamonds.

In the past few weeks, he's gone from almost infant -like stage to being able

communicate completely.

But now, he's claiming that he can hear our thoughts.

And? He can.

As far as I can tell, he can't evaluate emotion or read entire thought

sequences. Yet.

But if I create a picture of a word or an object in my head, he can recite it.

He's not remembering being an adult human. He's absorbing it from all of us.

That's why his accent is gone.

His brain is not developing the way ours has.

His is doing something completely different. What do you suggest we do?

We should take him off the Thorazine.

See what happens.

What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?

Give us a pill! Come on!

Okay, can you describe the pain? It is deep inside my head.

Okay, okay.

Where is he?

All right, all right.

David, what is it?

I smell something.

What? Tell me what you smell.

What is it?

It is something hot.

Okay, like something is burning?

Yes, something is burning.

Let me see your eye.

No. David!

David! No.

Why not, David? Because they hurt!

Okay.

Okay.

David, let's take these. I don't want them!

Where's the cup, Victor?

It's gone.

I

don't

want any Thorazine, William.

Take it away.

David. We just want what's best for you. Yes, Mother.

Don't be rude.

What is it?

What? The letter on the wall behind you. What is it?

It's called the Hippocratic Oath.

And what is that?

It's an oath doctors take about the ethics of being a doctor.

And you think it should be taken down, don't you?

Stay the fuck out of my head!

What the hell was that in there? What?

Why did you tell him you thought we should take the oath down?

Why? I didn't tell him that.

I thought it.

I thought it.

I swear to fulfill to the best of my ability and judgment this

covenant.

Cool, David.

Where the hell have you been David?

What are you doing in here?

Ivan is gone.

He's nowhere to be found.

Where was David last night?

He was locked in his room, Mark. Are you sure?

I'm positive.

Maybe Ivan got small and escaped.

I'd be very careful with the next words that come out of your mouth, William.

That's enough, William.

Dr. Walton's not going to like this.

A man disappeared last night. Did you know that?

How would I know that? You know a lot of things.

I only know what you teach me.

That's a shame because I can't possibly teach you everything.

You don't. I beg your pardon?

I'm thirsty.

There's water in front of you.

I do not want water.

I want fruit punch.

We don't have fruit punch.

We have water.

Now let's try this again.

David, I think we're going to need another x -ray.

He has a massive tumor in his frontal lobe.

Are you telling us now that your little progeny turned water into wine?

No. Fruit punch.

Come on, Victoria.

That's not possible.

He must have tricked you.

No. The tumor is gestated in the few weeks since the initial x -ray, which

explain the headache.

It would also explain the changes in demeanor, the odd smelling sensations,

quite possibly a few of these other things.

How do we stop this?

William will have to perform a surgical biopsy.

Hi,

David. How are you feeling today?

Let me take a look at you.

Why are you doing this?

Come on, take it.

Are you okay, William?

Easy,

easy.

Be careful.

What kind of freak show is this place?

Do you believe what she said about the water and the fruit punch?

I don't know.

That wasn't in there.

You know what that means, right?

What? What are you talking about?

Water and a fruit punch.

Water and a wine.

What's the difference, right?

What are you trying to say, Ira?

Hear me out.

What if the Old Testament stuff is true in a sense?

What if God, i .e.

nature, created a man who could turn water into wine?

And he will say, stop.

Now, what if what we've done here isn't the same thing?

We've taken the power of God and created someone or something that is perfect.

Someone who uses the 92 % of our brain that we don't.

Imagine what the possibilities are there.

Maybe the miracle isn't inside of him.

Maybe it is him.

It's a tumor, Ira.

Nothing more.

Ira did his best to convince us that David was much more than a man.

But when he realized that nobody was willing to believe him, he went to David

himself.

David, it's me, Ira.

Hey, man.

You can do things with your thoughts, right?

Yes, I can do things with my thoughts.

I'm sick.

Sick?

I have a disease.

What kind of disease do you have, Ira?

I have MS, David.

And there's no cure.

Can you heal me like you heal Victoria's hand?

Can you take my pain away?

Please?

Thank you, David.

Get him in the fucking car right now!

He's gone.

Leave him.

Help me get him out of here.

Yes, yes. Don't you do this. Fucking tell me. Just tell me. Stop it.

Come on. Stop it. Stop. No. Fucking stop.

Stop it. We can fix this. You're not doing this. He's already dead. Leave him

be. We can fix this. You know that.

Sure. Haven't you had enough, you fucking monster?

Try to bring Ira back. Just try.

It won't be Ira.

Do you understand me?

It won't be.

Ira.

We're done playing God here.

We're done.

We're going to get Marcus.

Now.

Look at me that way.

I did not ask for this.

I did not ask to be your guinea pig.

I am in pain because of you.

Why did you kill him?

Because he asked me, begged me to end his pain. So I did.

I feel life through this body.

And I hear the words inside your heads.

And I have concluded that life is nothing but pain.

So I did what he asked me to do and put him out of his misery.

You look at me and you fear me. But all I am is

what I have taken from you.

What I have learned from you.

But the one person with the coldest heart is the only one to show compassion

me.

But I am not your son.

Cutting everything down.

I briefed Dr. Walton on what has happened here, and he has a plan to

this up. The good news is that once we're all gone, there will be no link

to this place or any of you.

But before any of you can go, I will need you to present an in -depth

of this project.

You would like a full biopsy of David's tumor along with samples of the serums

and all your notes.

He's passing on your work to his team in Europe.

Nobody leaves until this is done.

Victoria.

Dr. Walton would like to speak to you privately. He's on hold in my office.

Dr. Walton?

I plan to remove the lower portion of the tumor.

I'm going through the face.

What are you doing?

I'm done.

Close them up.

What the fuck are you talking about, Victoria?

Marcus is having them all incinerated. Do it!

You're a doctor, remember?

Act like one.

Close them up.

There you go, Victoria.

All better now.

Miss Barnes, did you really believe that Marcus was going to allow you and the

others to leave the facility?

I was just too numb to be afraid anymore.

Before you go, I have a little gift for you.

I've always been fond of journal writing.

Use it to record your work, every detail.

Thank you so much.

Thank me, Miss Barnes, by bringing my serum. On my last day, I wrote in my

journal to Dr. Walton.

reminding him about something he had forgotten about his story of Prometheus.

Even though

Zeus planned on torturing Prometheus for an eternity for stealing the essence of

life, eventually the hero, Hercules, saved Prometheus from Zeus's cruelty.

But there are no heroes in our story.

And we're all likely to spend an eternity at the hands of Zeus' torture.

Mark, I'm getting them ready, but... Just do me a favor and whatever it is,

care of it, please, Cyrus.

It's going to be difficult to get a vehicle through the gate with this place

lockdown.

Excuse me?

You know lockdown?

You're the only one with the ability to initiate it.

I understand that, except for the fact that I didn't do it.

And how? No.

Do me a favor, Cyrus.

Take the bodies to the storage freezer and meet me in the control room.

Immediately. Okay.

Hey, ladies, you're free. What are you waiting for?

I don't know. It won't open.

Fuckers are on lockdown.

Wait here.

What are you going to explore now, you fat bastard?

Thank you

Elizabeth.

we have brought back

nose off to spite your face i would like to recite something for you

something i think you may have forgotten in all your earnestness

you may have overlooked in all my grotesqueness

i swear to fulfill to the best of my ability and judgment

that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and

understanding may outweigh the surgeon's knife or chemist's drug.

Yes! Must I travel with care in matters of life or death? But it may

also be within my power to take this awesome responsibility.

Does my new face.

Do you have any idea why Dr. Travelle would have done this to you?

I was told that Dr. Travelle had a son once.

And she lost him to leukemia when he was just seven years old.

I don't think she was going to let that happen again.

David used the scalpel.

to sever my spinal cord.

And then he used it to remove my face.

I think we have enough for today, Ms. Barnes.

The Church cannot support your research, Victoria, no matter how you present it.

What you are suggesting is the very thing that the Church is against.

What about the benefits to our cause, Father?

This is dangerous. The Church cannot compromise its beliefs, no matter what

outcome may be.

Father, sometimes the end justifies the end.

I would need prune.

David.

Show him.

My God.
