I didn't want to.

I'm not in control.

The amazing smokeless ashtray. It's called Shop-O-Matic. The rhinestone and

stud setter. Bottle and jar cutter. The pottery wheel.

What? The music's too loud.

What now?

Why is the door locked? What were you doing?

Where is it?

Where's what?

You're not allowed to be near a computer plugged into a phone line.

Or do I have to show you the court order? Why don't you email it to me?

Becca. Go ahead. Tear the room apart. Do you see a computer in here?

No. Which means that the only thing that's in here that doesn't belong is,

drum roll please, you.

I'm driving you to school in ten minutes.

Too easy.

That's not real food.

You're not a real mom.

What's your problem?

You know, Dad didn't try to control me.

Dad trusted me, okay? Dad dropped you off on my doorstep.

You want to live with Dad, live with Dad. If you can find him.

Here's what you do.

Look for a big protest rally.

Then find the nearest bar.

You think you remember, but you don't.

The victim of a Baghdad car bombing needed transplants and facial

reconstructions.

This triathlete was told he'd never compete again.

For some women, bigger is better.

What these people have in common is that they have each, on some level, altered

themselves.

But where's the threshold?

When is it okay to intervene in God's work?

This question's the very cornerstone of bioethics, and we're going to spend the

rest of the semester dealing with it.

Come on, Will. I'm a bartender and a dropout.

You're a professor.

And a surgeon.

How can you take me seriously?

What makes you think I take you seriously?

Do you?

Why are you with me?

You're different.

From what?

When your whole life's planned out for you while you're still in the womb, it

kind of kills the mystery.

And then you came along and you were...

Unexpected. Unexpected?

The one choice my father didn't make for me.

I gotta run.

Um, you still on for dinner? 8 o'clock?

Make it 8.30. I have to go to the lab for a few hours.

While we're on the subject, why are you with me?

You're not entirely uncharming.

It's insulting. The last time I left you alone, you started a fire.

The microwave was broken. We don't have a microwave.

They're weird. They're my friends.

They're your weird friends. Please.

For me?

Tomorrow night.

Double feature?

Deal.

Wow.

You look rockin'. I brought pheromones.

I gotta go. I'm gonna be late.

Be good. Have fun.

I think there's a pretty good chance the grant will come through.

The Institute's indicating it's a done deal.

And I hear Paris is great in the spring and... You're not happy.

Of course I'm happy.

Because I think you should come with me. I can't.

Why not? I have a job.

Jamie. And a life.

We're talking Paris. And I have responsibilities.

Did I mention it's Paris? I'm pregnant.

Yeah, that's what I said.

I don't want you to... I just... I know this isn't something you just bring on

someone, except for the part where that's exactly what I'm doing to you

right now. And I know you're in a place where you can't even think about it.

God, I'm only 24.

It's not... I mean, I said to myself there's only one thing to do, but I

would never... Five months, 14 days.

That's how long we've been dating.

Jamie, if somebody had asked me five months and 15 days ago if I believed in

love at first sight, I would have said I absolutely did not.

And the very next day, I would have been proved wrong. Will. Marry me.

So I'm thinking Coltrane if it's a boy, Billy if it's a girl.

You don't have to do this, you know.

Actually, I'm pretty sure you have to name them.

I mean, you don't have to. I know, and I'm still asking.

So what does that tell you?

Jamie. Jamie.

Like massive internal bleeding. Extensive crush injuries to right arm

and both legs. She's coming up. I need five milligrams of metazolam.

Well... It's gonna be okay, baby. If we're gonna put you back to sleep, it's

gonna be all right.

I promise, it's gonna be okay.

It's the price you pay for working with a so-called genius.

Guess he must have left his IQ in a car.

Debreeding the ulnar nerve.

Significant damage.

Should I intervene?

No.

This operationist patient doesn't officially exist.

We have deniability. It's a freebie. We can have his terminated later if need

be.

You can walk it, Jerry.

It will have to be resected to its branch point.

Radial nerve appears to be intact.

Can you get a recheck with her sensitivity level, please?

I need some pressure check.

Forgive me father for I have sinned the doctor did you kill him?

It was like a ride at Disneyland Which one

I've never been I'll take you you love it

It's all fat people with fat children walking around aimlessly stupid to know

the difference do you miss it the way things were

If I could remember, I'm sure I would.

Did I remind you of her?

Yes, Ken.

There was an accident.

You're okay.

The baby.

What about the baby?

Oh, God.

There was no permanent damage.

You'll be able to get pregnant again.

Why can't I feel my legs?

Okay, Jamie, I need to tell you something.

What's happening to me? I need to tell you about what I do, and you need to

listen to me. Listen to me, Jamie.

Both your legs and your arm had to be replaced.

Also, your right ear and right eye.

Molecular machines, anthracites, have been substituted for one-eighth of your

blood cells.

Now you should have lacerations bone-deep all over your face But the

anthracites are healing you At an exponential rate all of you they're

making you better

It was a dream.

The bionics enhance baseline human strength.

And then some.

What have you done to me?

Jamie. Why did you do this to me? You were going to die.

Sir. Born Jamie Wells Summers, Van Horn, Iowa, February 23rd, 1983.

Mother deceased, cancer.

She's clean except for a sealed court record from 1998.

What's in it?

It's sealed. Unseal it. I'm working on it.

I think she's a good candidate.

Well, let's pretend I'm soliciting opinions. Why?

She's stable.

I pulled up an old Minnesota multiphasic personality inventory.

I liked what I saw.

Plus, the situation with her sister shows loyalty.

And she's smart.

I found an old IQ test.

How'd she do?

A little better than you.

Sir. Jay, can you train her?

The last one we screened, tested, there was psych evaluations, and she was a

soldier. Look where that got us. We always talked about non-military

applications.

Here's our chance. Your opinion is invalid here. You're too close to the

subject. This from the guy who played house with the last one. Let's get fresh

data. I want you to sit her down.

All right.

Yeah, I once had a wolf.

And a wolf only makes a good pet if he thinks he's a dog.

And your girlfriend, we're keeping her here against her will.

How long until she realizes that no one can make her do anything against her

will? You're talking about killing a human. I'm talking about killing a wolf.

You know what scares me about you?

Your father.

He seemed normal, too.

If I'm anything like my father, you just made a big mistake.

All right, we have to get you to rehab. What for?

Rehabilitation. I'm not the one performing human experiments and keeping

people prisoner.

You rehabilitate yourself.

I'm Ruth.

I'm pissed.

Good.

We're here to talk about our feelings.

How do you feel about me being kept here against my will?

I was speaking editorially. Actually, we're here to talk about your feelings.

Something no one seems to have any regard for?

Curveballs will do that.

You can have all the contingency plans you like, and then someone goes and does

something like this, and then we all have to stay after school. We'll talk

about our feelings.

Your feelings. Right.

After all, feelings are what got us here in the first place.

You like to draw?

True or false? I have a sister. She's staying with your landlady.

She thinks you're skiing in Vail.

This is where you stayed.

It looks nice.

You had fun.

Except for the part where...

Will injured his arm skiing into a tree. Does this mean I'll be going home at

some point?

It means that we have a contingency plan, should you be going home at some

point.

We also have a plan, should you not.

True or false?

You can't teach an old dog new tricks.

You would have done the same thing.

You never met my wife, did you?

For two years I watched her die in a hospital while they disassembled her.

And the whole time I knew all I had to do to save her was bring her here, but

saving my wife was not the mission.

Ruth says she's stable.

How long until she's combat ready?

She's a civilian.

Everyone has to sing for their supper around here, Willer. Haven't you figured

that out yet?

How long until the rest of her implants come on one?

She likes to draw.

I don't care.

I think you'll care about this.

Who did they bury?

I mean, did you ever see the body?

You show this to anybody else?

Just you. Keep it that way.

I can't protect you in here, but once you're on the outside... Why should I

trust you?

Because I'm the only one you can trust.

Go back to your life like none of this ever happened. I'll work it out with

them. What about you?

Go. Now.

All right, so I'll have those faxed over to you by Friday afternoon, and we're

still on for that meeting tomorrow?

Okay, good.

Yeah?

Mm-hmm.

Mommy!

There's a lady out there running really fast, like as fast as a car!

Sweetie, what did I tell you about making things up?

I just thought it's cool that a girl could do that, that's all.

Let her go. What the hell did you do? You want her, right?

For the program?

I'll make her understand what's at stake.

Just let me have time. Time to what?

Letting her go is not a bad idea.

If you want her loyalty, give her freedom.

Or the illusion of freedom.

All right.

Everybody stand down.

You're making a mistake listen to me The accident wasn't an accident according to

the autopsy the driver's neck was broken an hour before the crash Which means

someone else is driving that truck. We need to find out

Jamie, it's Will.

Jamie, if you're there, pick up the phone.

I need to talk to you.

Jamie, please.

There are things I need to tell you about.

Before they happen.

Bye.

Nice of you to show up.

I'm sorry.

Now what for?

For leaving and not telling you first.

How was skiing?

It was fine.

Dad used to always say don't believe anything until it's been denied. Becca.

Don't lie to me, okay?

We both know you don't ski.

So where were you?

I... I can't tell you.

Coffee? Sure.

It's no smoking.

What are you? A forest ranger?

Something like that.

Must be scary.

Alone in the forest, just you and the animals.

Not if they knew who's in charge.

Hey,

wait up.

Guard!

We both know you work in the Supermax prison, a thousand feet below Florence.

We both know this place where they stick people when they outlive their

usefulness. I don't know who you are. If you don't do exactly what I say, my

brother's gonna call for your wife, Barbara, like he does to Michael.

Oh God, Bobby!

Help me!

How'd you do it?

Do you know what they call creatures that can live comfortably in

environments considered lethal? Say, for instance, a thousand feet below the

Earth's surface. How did you do it?

Extremophiles.

I'll do an impression of one for you. Ready?

How did you... What?

How did I do what?

Sarah Corvus is still alive.

And you came all the way here to tell me that.

Let me do another impression for you.

Impression of a man who's been stabbed in the back, stripped of his rights, and

thrown in a hole like a dog.

Sarah Corvus is a time bomb.

We both know it.

Well, time bombs only matter to those who have time.

Goodbye, Jay.

Please give my regards to Will.

Tell him Daddy says hello.

Guards!

If I may make an observation, you seem way too innocent and sweet to be behind

the bar.

You should be out there with the rest of them.

Finally. I'm not the only person who feels that way.

What can I get you?

Beer.

On the house.

Thank you.

Don't I know you?

We met very briefly.

We didn't even actually meet.

Where?

Guess.

Are you alright?

Yeah. Let me take a look at it. No, it's okay.

husband will never know

Let me help you.

Just breathe.

It's like that.

The first time the ear and eye inputs come online.

It's too much information.

You have to learn how to focus it and turn it off and on it will.

You're a fast healer.

The anthracites are doing their job.

Who are you?

Who are you?

Tell everyone Sarah Corvus says hello.

Hey, yo.

Looking for something?

You need something?

Huh?

Come here, baby.

I got what you need.

Tell her!

Please.

Please don't.

Are you okay? Tell me what you put in my head. Jamie. I almost killed a man. I

didn't even know what I was doing.

What did you put in my head?

Microscopic chips have been implanted in your cerebral cortex.

My father developed the technology for the military.

The program was meant to help amputees in the Gulf.

Of course, he saw the combat applications immediately.

He made me into a soldier.

You're hardwired for highly specialized warfare, yes.

I was gonna kill him. But you didn't. You're still in control. And with the

proper training... Training?

Jamie, we're the only ones that can protect you.

Let me protect you.

How can you protect me if you're scared of me?

I never meant for any of this to touch you. I didn't. I just... I couldn't bear

to lose you.

That isn't even me.

Yes it is.

Hey.

I have to get back to Becca. I can't keep leaving her like this. Jamie.

What do you people do anyway?

It's complicated.

Try me.

The world's further along than anyone wants to admit.

Technology's at the point where science fiction isn't fiction anymore.

Don't keep that technology from getting into the wrong hands.

Who gets to decide right from wrong?

What about Sarah Corvus? What does she figure in all this? Where did you hear

that name?

Where did you hear the name, Jamie?

Sorry. Just hold on, okay?

Where is she?

I need everyone.

Time out.

The anthocytes in our blood can filter out any impurities in our lungs.

Fringe benefit of being a freak.

What do you want from me?

Honestly, I'm not sure.

Jogging partner?

Who are you?

Without being too melodramatic about the whole thing, I'm Sarah Corvus.

The first bionic woman.

Ta-da.

So what did they replace?

I figured the eyes and the ears.

What else?

Me, they did both arms, both legs.

Only one eye.

Anthros wasn't sure about the optical interface.

So I did the other one myself.

Part of my chest, too.

I'm cutting away all the parts of me that are weak.

Time in

You

only have one bionic arm You

should really do something about that

You're going to have to do a little better than that.

How am I doing now?

Not bad.

Not bad at all.

We have a 39-year-old male Caucasian gunshot victim to the left shoulder.

Request assistance from Mercy General.

10-4, notified Mercy General. Transport work ready. We're all gonna make it?

Miss Summers!

Just wanted to get a look at you. Who are you?

You have $50 million worth of my property inside just so I guess you

could say I'm your landlord.

What do you want from me?

I don't know. Maybe you died three days ago and you just haven't realized it

yet.

Is that a threat? There are no free agents here, Miss Summers.

Sooner or later you're going to have to make a choice. It goes something like

this. Heads you lose, tails you die.

Welcome to the game.

Hey.

If we do this, whatever this is, we do it on my terms.

That's not okay with you.

I know what I'm capable of now.

So you send whoever you send, and I'll bury one guy after the next.

You understand me?

By the way, Sarah Corbis says hello.

Well, Jay, we have a candidate.

What are you doing?

I haven't seen the moon in a thousand and twenty-three days.

It hasn't changed. Let's go home.

We got work to do.
