>> She can hear our voices

but without his homicidal aggression.

You've made history, Mary.

>> We have.

>> I don't think she appreciates it.

What I mean, sir. Uh, I had her mark

down for an old maid.

Perhaps you just hadn't found her the

right partner.

Odd. Odd. Well, I've seen a lot of

gorilla babies, but uh never seen one

quite like him before.

>> Well, this isn't quite a gorilla baby,

is it? The sperm was a rangutan.

>> Well, I know that, sir, but he doesn't

look like a rangutan either.

>> What do you expect a hybrid to look

like? Mutation.

>> You think he'll survive?

>> I think he'll be a myrtle if he survives

the night.

No, I'm sorry, darling. I'll have to

stay. The chances of a hybrid surviving

are of just

>> Can you confirm?

>> Confirmed.

>> Holy Jesus. Is it still alive?

Stand by.

I thought we'd lost him.

>> He's been having awful trouble with his

>> He seems pretty strong, doctor.

placenta was delivered and found to be

normal. Three vessels found in the cord.

Nursing staff reported a deterioration

in color. Oxygen at 28% was administered

via face mask. Close monitoring

commenced at 0240.

That

was when

it should have died

at the first

hurdle.

But it didn't die.

Thank you, sir.

My god,

it looks almost human.

Correction,

it looks human.

Fast homminite.

Tell me Edward, what do you think it

might be capable of breeding?

Well, hybrids are usually infertile, of

course, but you can't be sure with a

human hybrid.

>> No, but it will be a long time before we

can find out.

Well, let's hope the mother can keep up

with the deliveries.

Who donated the sperm?

All the donors are novels as you know.

Carl,

>> of course.

Who is he?

>> I'm afraid he's dead. Pity. Who was he?

He was a student.

>> What do you know of? Nothing organic.

>> Um, no. It was an overdose, I think. Of

what? I don't know.

>> You don't know? Well, then find out,

man.

Maybe he was using something. It might

have some bearing on why we got a

conception.

>> Oh, I will. Of course, I will.

>> Fortunately, we're not short of donuts.

No, so many of these wankers are

sterile.

Listen, are you sure that no one

suspects what that sperm really was?

>> Oh, I'm sure I made the substitution

myself.

>> Good.

Let's stick with that story of the um

orangutan hybrid. There's no precedent

for that either, so no one knows what

the hell to expect.

You realize, Fister, do you realize that

you and I are the only two people in the

world who know what's been achieved?

Think of the potential of these hybrids

or organ transplants or space

exploration as astronauts or space

scouts.

Even maybe as warriors

>> warriors. Imagine a hybrid battalion.

Crack troops. Total loyalty.

>> The gorilla isn't an aggressive species,

Colonel.

>> But we are. Man is the most formidable

of all beasts of prey and the only one

to prey systematically of his own

species. William James. Oh, we'll supply

the aggression.

Have it ready for collection tomorrow.

>> Collection?

>> Yes, we are moving it to central

laboratories.

>> Is that wise? What you mean wise?

>> You know how vulnerable hybrids are. We

We lose most of them within hours of

their birth. Now, this hybrid might be

even more.

>> What I'm trying to say, Colonel, is that

I think its best chance is to stay here

with its mother.

>> Well, she knows even less about hybrids

than we do,

>> but she can care for her baby.

Never realized you were so sensitive,

Forester.

Quickly, quickly

in here.

Bring me off.

>> Could you spare a moment, sir?

>> Yes, of course.

>> What happened?

>> She rejected it.

>> Is he all right?

>> Yes, but I wouldn't like to risk it

again. Doctor,

>> I think she's had enough. When she

stops, she's had enough.

>> She seems to spend most of her time

feeding

>> every half hour.

>> How many feeds a day does she have?

>> About 12.

>> Now, how many does she have, would you

say,

>> Edward?

Oops. Allow me to introduce Helen. She

is your daughter. Yes, she is not one of

your experiments.

>> How many feeds?

>> Eight.

>> Eight. Eight.

>> You're worried?

>> No, she's doing marvelously

>> about the hybrid.

Why' you say that?

>> Trust me.

>> Yes,

my little caliban.

He needs mothering.

>> Couldn't you send him to one of the

other institutes?

I wish you could stay with us.

>> No. I wish I could help, darling, but

no.

You seen his toes?

>> Yes, I have.

>> Thank you, Ron. They're not opposable.

I know.

>> But all the eggs have opposable thumbs

and toes. It's like four hands.

>> I'm aware of that.

>> Can pose his thumbs, but not his toes.

It's amazing.

>> Look, he's more of a human.

>> He's 2 weeks old. We don't know how

he'll develop.

>> Thank you very

observe and record that development.

and to keep him alive.

>> For as long as we can. Yes.

I was telling Nancy about it.

>> Oh,

>> thank you.

Oh. Oh, he's just like a baby like you

said.

>> Oh, what's his name?

>> 807.

>> H7.

>> Well, we have been calling him Gordon.

>> Gordon.

>> Right. Gordon Gordon.

Gordon. Gord. Come to mommy. Gordon.

>> Why did his mother reject him? We don't

know. Perhaps because he's hybrid. Well,

>> it's not his fault, is it? Poor little

thing.

>> He's lucky to have such a good foster

mother.

>> I love fostering.

>> Only trouble is she cries her heart out

when they have to go back. She gets too

fond of him.

>> Well, I wouldn't get too fond of this

one.

>> Why not?

>> He might not live very long.

She'll watch over him night and day.

Believe me.

>> Oh, I'm sure she will.

>> We were never able to have a child of

our own. And

>> how's your little girl?

>> Oh, she demands attention night and day,

too.

>> Thank you, Chris.

At 6 weeks, Gordon is developing like a

normal human baby. In appearance, he's

startlingly human with no sign of his

Simeon origin except for the unusual

amount of body hair. He has one odd

characteristic. He doesn't coup or

gurgle

or smile

like a human baby.

eyes follow me everywhere. It's uncanny.

>> Oh, most babies do that.

>> Chris, can't you leave him in peace for

one night? You're forever weighing and

measuring.

>> You know, I have to have the data for

Dr. Forester.

Anyway,

I want my own record.

He hasn't grown at all.

>> Still,

>> Chris, when you look at Gore, don't you

think?

>> No, I don't think. I just observe and

record.

>> Well, I think he's a lovely baby.

Good morning.

All the research institutes, including

yours, will receive an order

discontinuing the program of embryo

research and requiring the disposal of

all existing research embryos, whatever

the state of their development.

I assume some deal has been made with

the Americans and Russians.

Some change of strategy. You want

another one?

>> No, thank you.

>> Genetic science

has nowhere really recovered from the

experiments of the Third Reich.

To many people, it still implies

eugenics and lampshades.

We will have to proceed on tiptoe.

>> Pity about your hybrid, Owens.

My hybrid.

>> You'll have to have it put down.

>> Put down.

But it's a five for 7 weeks.

It's healthy, thriving.

Surely it would be a crime to kill it.

It would if it existed.

It does exist. Officially it doesn't.

Officially it couldn't. It's a kimaro.

An impossibility.

What if I announced his existence to the

scientific community

>> as your personal triumph?

>> No. To save him.

>> Then you'd either be shot or made a

professor.

At the very least,

you'd end up in the bin.

My dear Edward, I've been with this

program even longer than you have. We

all have our dreams. Oh,

>> it isn't a dream. He's a reality. I

don't see how it can possibly not to

reason why.

>> Now, your immediate priority is to

devise a major research program into the

relative immunity systems of the

primates. The hybrid must be put down.

Its timing was unfortunate.

Go.

Destroy him.

>> That was the order.

>> It'll destroy Nancy.

Well, I'm sorry, Chris, but they want to

eliminate all traces of the hybrid

program.

>> But we've learned so much from Gore.

>> Yes,

>> I know. I mean, we have a hell of a lot

more to learn as he grows. Isn't there

any chance they might spare him?

>> Officially, he doesn't even exist.

Officially, he is a nonperson,

nonbeast.

>> What is it, P?

the washing gun.

>> Suppose you just left him here

>> here.

>> Yes.

>> What about the order?

>> Well, you could confirm that the order

had been carried out

>> and the certificate of destruction.

>> Well, I'd issue it. See, no one would

know if he just stayed here.

>> But he couldn't stay here indefinitely.

>> Oh, no. No, no. Of course not. Oh, no.

When the time came, we'd find him an

animal sanctuary.

See, no one would ever know.

>> He doesn't like the washing fluffy on

the line.

Silly boy.

>> Helen,

I baptize thee in the name of the Father

and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.

Ellen, you have become a new creation

and clothed yourself in Christ.

See in this white garment the outward

sign of your Christian dignity.

And bring that dignity unstained into

the everlasting life of heaven.

Amen.

Receive the light of Christ.

>> Parents and godp parentents, this light

is entrusted to you to be kept burning

brightly. This child of yours has been

enlightened by Christ. She is to walk

always as a child of the light.

May she keep the flame of faith alive in

her heart. When the Lord comes, may she

go out to meet him with all the saints

in the heavenly kingdom.

Amen.

>> Amen.

>> Amen.

>> Oh, come on. I can't. I got my knee.

Hey, look at that.

Well, without experiment, there's no

progress. But

>> there are experiments and experiments.

You're interfering with nature.

>> Sometimes nature needs to be interfered

with.

>> How? When?

>> Well, if you had Parkinson's disease,

you'll be glad to know there may be a

cure.

>> Oh, what? Well, it seems that the

disease may recede if cells taken from

the fetus are implanted in the brain of

the suffer.

>> What about the fetus? Doesn't that have

any rights? Fetus rights.

>> Anyway, that's not why you're into

genetic science, is it?

>> That's right.

>> I mean, at the Ministry of Defense,

you're interested in its military

potential.

>> We know the enemy are developing

biological weaponry. We have to have

counter measures.

>> What enemy?

We're not at war.

>> Potential enemy.

>> Oh, yes. They're doing it for aggressive

reasons. We're doing it for defensive.

I've heard it all before. It's a vicious

spiral. It's a trap.

>> Yes.

>> And we're in it.

>> Edward, you're a scientist. You're also

a religious believer. How can you do it

for God's sake?

>> God is a scientist, too. You know,

>> sometimes I just despair of the human

race.

I refuse to despair the race as long as

we produce people like your sister.

>> Lucy.

Lucy,

>> I got your signal.

Ah,

it did.

had to be done.

>> As you know, today's studio discussion

is about the pill. Now, in July, the

pill became free on prescription, but

the argument now is whether it should be

available over the chemist counter. Have

plenty to say about that. In the

meantime, message from Peter's gun.

Oh, there go. Gor, he's got a really

strong grip.

>> Let him hold the spoon himself then.

>> He puts more in his bed than he does in

his mouth. Come on, Gore. Come on, Gore.

You like this?

>> Yes.

Gore.

>> What's the matter with him?

>> I don't know.

>> What was that? Chicken.

>> Chicken.

>> I just wanted him to try it.

>> Hansy's vegetarian.

>> Gilro.

>> Can you tell now?

>> You might like fish.

>> Is that fish? What? Puree of prunes.

>> Where is it? Good boy. Lovely prunes.

>> I had expected to close this file long

before now. But H07, or Gordon, as he is

now called, has survived for 24 weeks.

How long can I go on telling myself that

he's bound to die naturally?

Is it my duty to end his life or to

prolong it?

I prayed for guidance.

Is he intended to live?

But how can he live in our world

in a zoo half human?

God, no.

That's unthinkable.

Heat. Hey, heat. Hey, heat.

Try to stand up.

He's way ahead of my daughter.

He is developing fast.

Yes.

No thanks, Chris.

But not in quite the way I expected.

Why' you say that?

>> Well, I thought with time he'd grow more

like an ape.

If anything, he's growing more human.

It's the way he crawls. For one thing,

man's noticed it.

We had an argument about him.

Chris. Chris. Chris. Look.

>> I'm looking.

>> He's trying to crawl just like any other

baby.

>> You mean like any other human baby?

>> You know what I mean?

Apes don't walk like that.

They walk like this on their knuckles.

Chris, I'm serious.

I know you are, love.

>> Now, Gore

goes like this.

>> Well, all that proves is that Gore

hasn't learned to crawl properly.

Properly like an ape.

>> He crawls like a human.

One day he's going to walk like one.

Look at you.

>> Bye.

>> Bye.

Lovely.

Take the question. You know, your wife

is quite right up to a point.

>> Is she?

>> Yes, of course. Most apes are knuckle

walkers. You know that. But the

orangutan walks on the sides of its

palms rather like a human crawling.

That'll be influencing Gore.

What do you think? We found the missing

link.

>> Chris.

Chris.

Chris.

He's got hardly any hair now. And look.

Cute. Isn't it?

>> I wonder

>> what.

>> Well, you must be right. There's been a

mixup with one of the babies.

>> Who's been a good boy? Didn't offer any

resistance at all. Marvelous little

chap. Wish some of my older patients

were that cooperative.

>> He's all right then, doctor. Sound as a

bell. Just as well to have a checkup

though.

>> Just the one thing.

>> What's that?

>> His voice makes some funny noises,

doesn't he? Dare say it'll sort itself

out as he gets older. Start speaking.

Early days yet. Dr. Chapman.

What do you think?

See the length of the forearms,

length of the torso,

the opposable toes.

There

virtually all that body hair is now

gone. You see

He is human.

It's not just the way he crawls. It's

every anatomical feature. Plus the

absence of body hair. Well, I can't find

a single Simeon feature. What about his

voice?

>> He doesn't sound like a human baby. He

grunts like an ape.

>> Well, maybe a defect. Maybe he's dumb or

autistic. I hope not. The doctor said he

might learn to speak in time.

>> Doctor?

>> Yes. We took Gore to the doctor. She

couldn't find anything abnormal.

>> You had him examined by a doctor?

>> Yes. She said he was a perfectly healthy

child.

>> You were there at the delivery. You saw

Mary give birth.

I don't believe that Gore is Mary's

baby.

>> What?

We had two human babies under

observation then. There must have been

some mixup at the incubators.

Well, there's no other explanation.

Nancy and I would like to adopt him.

>> That's absolute madness.

Why?

Because he's the property of the

institute. It's nobody's property.

We reported him dead.

Nancy really loves him.

He'd have a good home here.

>> That isn't the problem.

>> Then what is? There must have been a

mixup with the babies. There's no other

explanation.

>> There is what?

>> I can't tell you

why not.

>> You'll just have to take my word for it.

>> Well, I'm afraid that's not enough.

>> I'll take him off your hands. No, he

stays here with us.

>> He is hybrid.

>> No, never.

>> He's a human hybrid.

Human. Part human, part gorilla.

That's impossible. It's not impossible.

He is Mary's baby, but the sperm was

human.

I didn't invent the hybrid program. You

know, it was official.

>> You carried it out.

>> Yes.

>> A perversion of nature.

>> Are you sure, Chris?

If you believe in evolution, you believe

we all share a common origin. Back in

the ocean slime. We are all hybrids by

origin.

>> Oh, maybe. But to create a human animal

hybrid? No, that that isn't a step

forward. That's a step back. I mean,

what next? Human fishes?

Why didn't you tell me? I didn't think

he would.

>> You brought it here.

>> I only thought he would last for a few

weeks.

>> Have destroyed it.

>> Yes, I should have.

Well,

you have to destroy it now.

>> She is never going to get to sleep

tonight. It'll be a blessing when her

sleeping time synchronizes with ours,

won't it? Oh, come on now. Please. I'm

so tired, darling. Come on. That's a

girl. There we are. That's it.

Now, be a good girl. Now, go to sleep.

Come on. I've had enough.

She's very demanding, your daughter.

>> She's yours as much as mine. She's your

daughter, too.

>> Sorry, I have to go out. I might be

quite late. Oh,

>> got to see the institute vet. There's a

problem with one of the field animals.

There's no rest for the wicked.

Huh?

Huh?

Huh?

Okay.

I dreamt of a new species,

one with man's intelligence, but without

his homicidal aggression.

It doesn't exist.

It doesn't exist.

Oh,

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

Heat.

My god, man. Couldn't you have changed

him?

>> Change him?

>> My animals wipe their own asses. This is

not an animal.

Come on.

Get me a towel or something.

>> Sorry I don't keep nappies here, doctor.

>> This will do.

Who is it then?

>> He's one of the babies we've been using

at the institute. That's all I can tell

you.

>> Oh, when did I ever ask questions about

the institute? Eh,

>> what'd you bring it here for? Eh, I'll

swap it for a monkey.

>> This is a perfectly normal baby.

>> That's all right. I give you a perfectly

normal monkey.

He's been part of a series of

experiments we've been doing at the

institute, a research program comparing

the human immune system with that of the

great apes. Now, his parents,

>> do they know he's an experiment?

>> His parents were colleagues of mine and

they were killed in a traffic accident.

So, the poor little chaps without a

home. He can't stay at the institute.

He's got no other family.

>> You've helped us in the past with homes

for young animals.

>> Oh, animals is one thing, but babies.

I'll make it worth your while.

>> I want you to find me a temporary home

for him just until we can sort out his

future.

Just an ordinary home.

Emily,

my sister,

she trained as a nurse and got herself

pregnant and to get married. got two

kids, grown, flown,

but now she's a widow.

She's ordinary,

bought a council house, can't afford to

keep up the payments, so she works

part-time in a bookshop.

She'll have to give up her job as long

as you make it worth it. Well,

>> I hope she doesn't get too fond of him.

Well, you don't know her, Emily.

>> What's his name, sir?

>> Gordon.

>> Hello, Gordon. Oh, isn't he a bunny

little boy?

>> Yeah, he's a strong burger, too. You

want to feel his grip?

>> I don't think he'll be any trouble. He's

been well trained.

>> Who? By

>> his parents.

young couple I knew who uh killed in a

car accident. So,

>> poor little baby. Not much of a start,

have you?

>> But never you mind. I'll take care of

you.

You'll be all right here.

How's that?

>> He's lovely, isn't he?

>> I'll pop by in a day or two if that's

convenient. Oh, whenever you like, sir.

>> I'll um

>> Yes. Yes, of course.

>> This would be handy for you, M

>> and for you.

>> Hey,

>> what

>> is it? Hes

>> what?

>> A kid.

>> You heard what he said. He's an orphan.

>> You got a dirty mind, Emily.

>> Must run in the family then.

>> I don't give a bugger whose kid it is.

As long as he's willing to fork out.

I didn't like the look of the woman, but

I had no other choice.

As long as she got her money regularly,

she never once asked any questions.

My visits over the last 5 years have

been painful. It's just not an ideal

situation.

I would like to move him, but there is

no alternative.

>> Right.

That's beautiful. It's my arty shot.

It's

>> Bunny's auntie shot.

Number one, we could do this on video

now, you know.

>> Shh. We'd never get her away from the

telly.

>> Um, madam, could we straighten this up,

please?

Thank you.

>> I wonder who took this one.

It's

>> one of mommy's better ones, isn't it?

>> Thank you. Number

three.

>> I put that in.

>> Why not?

>> It's not very pretty.

>> You don't want just pretty pictures in

the album, do you?

>> Of course I do.

>> No, that's very rude.

And there it stays.

I did neglect my family. However,

>> because I couldn't stop my gathering

obsession with Gordon,

>> I even dreamt of bringing him home.

I wanted other people to know about this

miracle,

but of course they couldn't.

Our

gorilla gave birth to a hybrid which has

become a strong and beautiful child.

But although he seems happy enough,

he has a problem which is growing more

acute every day.

Extraordinary.

In fact, unique in my experience and I

would say in the literature too.

A total malf foration of the vocal

organs.

>> Can anything be done?

>> It's entirely unprecedented.

>> Wonder if the poor little chap keeps

nine.

It's all he's equipped to say n.

So,

what would you recommend?

>> Sign language. It's his best bet. Seems

a bright little chappie.

>> Could nothing be done by surgery.

>> Oh, surgery?

Not unless you give him a complete new

set of vocal organs.

>> Could you?

>> Well, I mean, it's not like giving him a

new set of false teeth, you know.

>> I appreciate that, Mr. Graham.

I've never tackled anything as extensive

as that.

>> Has anyone else?

>> No. No. No. Of course not.

>> Then would you?

>> I read a report of the work you've been

doing at your clinic in Switzerland.

Switzerland. I Yes, Gordon.

That was sweet.

No sugar.

It's murderously expensive.

Mhm. And murderously risky, too.

Get him off

Yeah.

Come on.

Gordon.

>> Gordon.

>> You mustn't fight with them, Gordon.

Whatever they do,

you're too strong for them.

You understand?

You'll really hurt one of them.

I shrink from having to make the

decision.

But as a scientist,

I know the operation is essential.

If my son is to have a normal life.

Oh, Forester, I really wouldn't worry. I

mean, just look at this. Isn't it

amazing?

I've always believed nature's the best

rescuer.

Mountains, lakes, woods.

Beloved here. I if if he stays, I mean,

if we decide to proceed,

we'll do the laryangoscopy in the

morning.

By noon, we should know what our chances

are.

Exactly.

Okay.

Ah, there's Mray

Graham. Good to see you. And you,

>> Edward Forester, Francois Marie.

>> How do you do? How'd you do? And this is

Gordon.

>> Hello, Gordon.

Welcome to the chocolate paradise.

>> Let's have a look at you, young man.

>> Thank you.

Then I go.

God bless.

I won't be far away.

unique.

Quite unique.

The boy has perfectly formed lingial

poultries

running either side of the larynx.

I've never seen anything like it.

It looks almost Simeon.

Well, we all have remnants of such

pouches.

>> Yes, Graham,

but they are no more than tiny crypts.

A reminder of our origins.

>> Does this affect his ability to speak?

>> No. No.

The problem is his vocal cords are

joined together. There's no space there.

No wonder he can't say anything.

And no space, no speech.

>> Of course, it's not quite my field, but

the development of the larynx in this

boy,

>> it's almost like a young gorilla.

Well, he'll be able to beat his chest

and make a mighty roar even if we can't

give him a voice.

>> But can you help him to speak?

I think we must say no.

Couldn't you operate?

Well,

I've never done it before.

When are you going to learn English?

Oh God,

you can't let him die now.

Please don't let him die.

What am I doing here?

If Gordon lives, I'll take him home.

Is she a moment?

>> Mr. Forester.

>> Sir, what's the prognosis?

>> Good. I think

it'll be some time yet before we know

physically he's amazingly strong

but has hid the will.

Oh, he has the will

Ladies, gentlemen,

today the biological research program

comes of age.

>> And our success has at last persuaded

the government to grant us the funds we

need.

>> Now, next decade, we will see a vast

expansion of staff and resources. And in

preparation for this, we are appointing

a central controller to coordinate the

research programs of all six institutes,

leaving me free to concentrate on the

European connection. And I'm pleased to

announce that the new controller will be

that rising star of biological research,

Mr. Edward Forester.

>> And you will be relieved to hear I've

asked him not to bore the bollocks off

you by making a speech.

>> Well done, Edward.

>> Thank you very much, sir.

Congratulations.

>> Not yet. Not yet.

>> Frank, go. Quick. Quick.

Will it affect you?

>> Not really.

I mean he'll have to spend more time in

London and visiting the other institutes

occasionally.

>> When actually does he take over? In 3

months. The um the press releases go out

then. I won't leak it.

>> You really

You had no idea.

>> No. Edward doesn't talk about his work

and you don't ask him.

>> I wouldn't know the first thing about

it. No, maybe you wouldn't want to know.

>> Want to know what?

>> Oh. Um,

>> how the new biology is going to conquer

the planet.

>> Well, I don't know about conquering it,

but it might well transform it.

>> Let me have a go. Let me have a go. Let

me have a go.

>> Give it to me.

>> Mel, don't snatch.

Imagine

if you could just tell it what to do.

>> You can't talk to a calf, silly man.

>> One day.

It's wonderful in here. Come on.

>> A monkey once danced in an assembly of

the beasts, and so greatly pleased all

by his performance that they elected him

their king, Elliot.

A fox who envied him the honor having

discovered a piece of meat lying in a

trap led the monkey to the tip bit and

said, "Look, I found this store and have

not used it. It's not for the subject to

lay claim to a treasure trove. The king

himself should take it." The monkey

approached carelessly and was caught in

a trap, whereupon he accused the fox of

leading him into the snare. The fox

replied, "Oh, monkey, can it be that you

with so simple a mind could rule as king

over all the beasts?"

So, we'll have another one tomorrow.

Okay.

It's done again.

Can't you sleep?

What's the matter?

>> Nothing.

Go to sleep.

Man, what is it? Tell me.

Is it Gordon?

Look, he won't be here long. It's just

until I find him a a good school.

>> It's odd that he doesn't remember his

parents, isn't it?

>> No, not really.

>> To remember absolutely nothing about

them. Seems damned odd to me.

>> Look, after the crash. Oh, he doesn't

even remember the bloody crash.

>> He was lucky to survive. Both his

parents were killed instantly.

He suffered terrible injuries. He He's

just blanked it from his mind. That's

all. There's nothing odd about that.

And he's had a rotten tile. I'm just

trying to help him to

>> What? Huh?

>> Why you?

>> Why me? Why are you responsible for him?

>> Cuz I'm his guardian.

>> Yes, but why? Why you?

>> He hasn't got any family.

>> No grandparents, no uncles, no aunts.

>> No, that's why his parents appointed me.

>> Must have had a lot of faith in you.

>> And you don't,

>> So he adopted him.

>> I knew it was his all along. I told you.

>> So you did.

So you did. He sent him to Switzerland

for a year.

>> Yeah. Well, he's loaded, ain't he?

>> You mean his misses?

>> Same thing, isn't it?

>> Missing? What do you mean missing? Since

when?

>> Since lunchtime.

>> But, um, Edward, please listen.

>> Wasn't he at school?

>> They said he didn't come back after the

lunch break. They thought he'd come

home. Edward, I think we should do

something.

>> No, an um, just a minute.

>> What?

>> I'll go and talk to them. They'll all

have gone home now. Do you think I ought

to call the police?

>> The police? No.

>> No. I'm sure there's no need for that.

Um,

>> let me go and look first.

>> Okay.

>> Dropped off at last.

>> Why don't you go to bed?

>> Wouldn't be able to sleep. Darling, I

think we have to tell the police. I

mean, he's been missing a whole day, and

he's such a responsible child. He

wouldn't just disappear. Let me ring

them.

>> And can we wait a bit, please?

>> But what could have happened?

>> How should I know?

>> I don't know.

I don't know.

Hello. Any

>> Um, the institute

not my son. You brought in here in the

middle of the night, a baby wrapped in a

>> The killing.

>> The killing.

>> That's what it's all about, isn't it?

That's what we're being trained for. To

kill.

>> In defense. Yes. But

>> what about thou shalt not kill?

>> But that's an ideal, a noble ideal.

>> But even the church allows that is

legitimate to kill in self-defense or in

the defense of your country.

In the real world, it is kill or be

killed.

>> And I don't like the sound of the real

world.

>> But you want to leave the academy.

>> Yes.

Hm.

Is this a sudden change of heart?

>> I've thought about it for a long time.

I'm not meant to be a soldier. What are

you meant to be?

A priest?

A priest? I've thought very deeply about

him. Would you object?

No.

No, not if it's what you sincerely want.

A priest.

Gore has abandoned his military career.

He lacks the necessary aggression.

Is this his inheritance from Mary?

He has chosen instead to enter the

priesthood.

Perhaps this was how it was always

intended.

>> You should feel privileged. I've never

been able to persuade Daddy to show me

here before.

>> Never shown any interest before. Of

course.

>> It's quite strong, isn't it?

>> I don't notice it anymore.

Be quiet.

>> You know, it's been argued that our

closest relative is the orangutan.

That's a Malayan word meaning wild man.

Did you know that?

>> No.

>> Other anthropologists will argue for the

chimpanzee.

>> She's an intelligent girl. Master quite

an elaborate sign language. What do you

believe?

>> Oh, I believe that our closest relative

is this magnificent beast,

the gorilla

go.

All

right.

Thank you.

It was when we were talking to that

gorilla.

Your father showed us

I I I had a sort of it was like I was

having

a dream

>> Gordon.

A dream.

>> No,

more like a vision.

>> A vision?

I've been reading too many lives of the

saints.

It's nothing to worry about. I've had it

before. Just throws me, that's all.

>> A vision of what?

>> Jungle.

>> Jungle.

>> Milk.

Thanks.

And you've no memory of your parents at

all?

>> No.

>> Wow. That must feel really odd.

>> No, not really.

>> Poor little orphan.

>> Do you remember the car crash?

No. Yeah.

>> Well, maybe you just got a rotten memory

at the academy. What did you do with

your spare time?

>> There didn't seem to be any spare time.

It was always either study or prayer or

games or athletics or field exercises.

>> Sounds frightful.

>> Oh, I loved it.

>> Did you have any social life?

>> Had a few friends. We used to go to the

pictures.

>> Girlfriends.

I'm sure you're better off without them.

They're more trouble than they're worth.

Wait for me.

Look at him. Come here.

Come here.

No,

>> you lost.

>> Oh, I think so.

God.

Oh.

Oh no.

How do you do it?

There's a

Now throw us a ball.

Get back over your side.

That was good.

Go.

It's

>> Oh,

>> Oh, Edward, that's great.

>> Yes. He wants to satisfy himself that

your vacation is really serious. Yes.

And if all goes well, they could accept

you as a postulant immediately. And a

month later, you begin your

vicious?

>> Yes. You'll have to serve as a novice

for 2 years before you can be ordained.

So there it is. Wants to see you in 3

weeks.

>> Daddy. M

>> it's uh Gordon's birthday in 2 weeks.

>> Yes, I know.

>> Party. Oh, he's got to have a party on

his 18th. I'll arrange everything.

>> Okay, you arrange it.

>> Oh, thanks.

>> Gordon,

>> it is what you want, isn't it?

Your father's been so good to me.

>> Get daddy.

>> Is it what you want?

>> It is what you want, isn't it?

Hello.

>> Happy birthday.

>> How are you? Happy birthday.

Happy birthday.

>> How are you?

Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat.

Happy birthday.

Do you feel guilty?

>> Oh,

>> I do.

>> Why?

>> I feel as though I'm stealing you from

God.

>> No,

he's giving me to you.

What about your vows?

I haven't made any vows yet.

Hello. You're a bit late. We're

>> mine.

>> Edward Island.

>> Hello. Oh, who's this? You're in enough

time. Come and do some fooping with me.

>> Edward,

>> would you Yes, I'm coming. Just sit

down, everybody. Please.

>> I think we could have a lovely time here

together.

>> Yes, I'm sure we could.

>> Would you come here often?

>> No, I live here. Please. Do you mind?

>> Byebye.

>> Bye-bye. Bye-bye.

Now when the night begins

because I need

up.

The field makes

it was my fault

upstairs my study.

Darling.

>> It's all right. It's all right.

>> So, I want you to pack your things and

I'll take you to the abbey in the

morning.

>> In the morning?

>> That's what I said.

>> But I'm not due there for another week.

>> But you can stay at the guest house.

You'll be made welcome.

>> Do I have to go tomorrow?

>> Yes. It's for the best. So why?

>> Why?

Look,

>> Edward, I'm sorry about now, but I'm

very fond of her.

>> So I see.

>> Edward, I'm sorry, but I should have

told you this earlier. I've had doubts.

>> What about my vocation?

I need time.

It's inevitable that you'll have doubts

about your vocation, but you will have

time. You have two years as a novice

before you take your vows.

You said that the abbot would want to

make sure that my vocation was serious

before he accepted me.

>> Yes.

>> Well, I don't know if it is serious

>> because of Nell.

>> Yes. I I think we could have a good

relationship.

>> Gordon, no. You must not have a

relationship with Nell

or with any woman for that matter.

>> What do you mean?

>> Exactly what I say.

Sit down.

There's something I have to tell you.

Something I should have said to you a

lot earlier.

Your mother suffered a congenital defect

which you've inherited.

It would damage any offspring you might

s I mean children you might have.

I'm afraid the truth is you must never

have children.

Sorry.

That may be who knows the very reason

God called you to the priesthood.

You understand?

>> Yes.

It is best

for you and for now, isn't it?

>> Yes.

>> I mean, there's no reason why you

shouldn't continue to be friends so long

as

>> It's all right.

I understand.

Let's go back to the original plan.

I'll take you to the abbey next week. H

Thank you.

Go.

It's me now. God, it's me.

Come on, come on, come on,

come on, come on, come on.

Just quick.

No, no, no.

Heat. Heat.

Get down.

What's in there?

Ah, in the top drawer.

A book.

Blue notebook.

What's this?

>> It was Chris's book.

>> Was

>> he died 5 years ago?

>> I'm sorry.

>> It's all in there. Dates, weights,

what you eating.

>> I knew I knew you were a real baby from

the night Chris and Dr. Forest brought

you here.

I had a big argument with Chris.

You see, they were comparing some human

babies

with baby animals,

and they obviously got you mixed up.

But who your real parents were,

we never knew.

They just took you away.

Thank you, Mary.

I don't believe it.

What

>> of this?

>> I do.

>> Do you believe daddy took you from the

institute when you were 2 weeks old?

>> Yes,

>> Gordon. It's just not credible.

>> What about your parents?

>> They didn't die in a car crash. I'm sure

of that.

>> But why would daddy pick up a story like

this?

>> That's what I want to know.

Wow.

Colonel Lansson gave orders to terminate

What program?

Well, it is nice to see you. Come to say

farewell of you. I must say no for you

certainly shot up since I last clapped

eyes on yours. You're only that high.

Hey, you sure you don't want to spike

that caffeine?

>> No, no, thank you. I I don't drink.

>> Don't smoke either.

>> I'm afraid not.

>> Very wise.

I knew my number was up when the MO told

me I could smoke and drink as much as I

liked.

God,

I'll never understand why the Spitude

went out of fashion.

>> What brought you here?

>> Does this mean anything to you, sir?

Now,

would you mind giving Squiffy and Star a

couple of uh sugar lumps as a good girl?

You must be squishy.

Beautiful.

>> What is HO7, sir? In the 70s, the

institute carried out a series of

experiments to produce a hybrid.

>> A cross between a gorilla and an

orangutan?

>> No, between a gorilla and a man.

>> A man?

>> Yes, a human.

Surely that's that's not possible, is

it? Everything's impossible till it's

done. They used in vitro fertilization,

injecting a gorilla oven with a human

sperm. The first six attempts ended in

natural abortion. The mother rejected

the embryo. Now Forester was working on

a method of coating the cells with a

genetic print that would deceive the

rejection system and allow the embryo to

be accepted. The seventh attempt he

succeeded HO7

hybrid operation 7. He delivered the

human hybrid.

How did you get hold of this from a Mrs.

KN her husband worked at the institute?

She said he took me from there at the

age of 2 weeks. took you

>> for fostering.

>> That's highly irregular.

>> She said that this notebook was his

record of my upbringing and

>> your upbringing.

>> Yes.

>> No, no, no, no. She's confused.

>> She Well, she did say something about a

mixup at the institute. She was very

clear about the notebook. She said it

covered the first 6 months.

>> 6 months? No. No. H7 was terminated long

before that.

Uh,

all right. Uh,

I need a signal from Forester.

Yes.

Uh oh.

You see, Forester signaled that the

hybrid had been terminated on October

the 26th, 1975.

Not makes a reference to the orders for

termination,

but the record goes on.

The birth of the hybrid was signaled on

September the 14th, 1975. That's my

birthday.

>> Thousands of children must have been

born that day. So you were born on the

same day as the hybrid. So what? That

doesn't mean to say that that's a that's

a record of your upbringing.

I saw the hybrid and it was covered in

hair.

The hybrid was covered in hair which

gradually disappears to reveal a birth

mark above the left hip.

It is my record, isn't it?

>> No, it's not.

That woman must be right after all. I

mean, there must have been a mix up with

the babies.

No.

>> Is there something that you're afraid to

confess?

You don't believe me.

>> I want to help you.

>> Then give me your blessing.

Whatever I am.

You say you are part of man's creation,

You have no place in God's creation.

Not in your guts.

What should I have done?

That's what the priest said. That's what

he called me.

And I am.

I'm not human.

I'm not an animal. There's no place for

me. What did you expect me to be to do?

>> There is a place for you.

>> Where? In a monastery. A monk with half

a soul.

>> You can't have half a soul. You have a

soul.

You lived because it was God's will that

you shouldn't.

>> Not God's will. Your will. It was yours.

>> Well, if it had been my will, you would

have died naturally as I always thought

you would.

But you didn't die.

And I had to accept the responsibility

for what I'd done.

You think I haven't felt guilty?

H

I've been living with guilt for 18

years.

18 years.

I I just I tried to give you a good

life.

>> How can I have a good life?

Oh, the only record of your origin

was in this file

from your birth.

The only other record

was in that notebook. Lancing has burnt

and it's for Lancing himself that you

could trust him, but he's terminally ill

anyway.

So you see you have nothing to fear.

Nobody knows.

I know.

How can I live with that knowledge?

How can I even look at now?

Yes.

I love now.

Oh,
