At last!

At last!

- Come in.

What time is it?

- Well, don't mind the time.

What have you been up to?

Glad to get to see you since Wednesday.

And you were here.

There's no use denying it. - Wednesday?

Did you say Wednesday?

What day is it now?

- Saturday, of course.

Really, my dear chap. You must try...

Saturday?

I've been asleep... three days.

I don't wonder at it.

And what I can make out,

you worked without stop for ten days.

Three days!

Three days!

- Don't go on like this, you know.

Spare some air!

Get some fruit inside you.

Yes, yes... I will, dear Robertson.

I'm going to show you this. Here.

Do you recognize this species?

Of course.

What's it's life cycle?

A few hours, no more.

- Robertson, this insect, which normally

dies within an hour or two of it's birth...

... has been alive for three whole days.

How long would that be in human terms?

Three days, that's 72 hours.

By human terms, this insect is already

more than two hundred years old.

Just what line of research are you following?

An elixir of life...

- That old one?

- Nature's elixir.

Hormones. Female hormones.

What is it that gives a woman's skin that silk in texture?

Why does she keep her hair when so many men lose theirs?

Hormones! Female hormones!

- Yes, I have heard the theory.

- No longer a theory, professor, fact.

See for yourself!

Here.

Yes, it is remarkable.

I wonder...

... how it would work on a male?

You can see I used a male.

Sorry, old man...

My due, it's an easy-laughed mistake to make.

Something as small as this.

This insect is male!

Then, who laid these eggs here?

You could've made a mistake, old chap.

Anyway... What happens next?

Next?

- To increase the life-span of an insect, --

where does that lead?

I don't know yet. I am...

I'm not sure.

It's just not possible, Doctor.

You've claimed me heart, I have got

none to supply you now.

It's important to me, Byker.

Very important.

Well, perhaps, eh...

... there is an alternative.

But, it would have to be...

quietly done, you understand.

Quietly done.

It will be just between you and me, Byker.

Can you arrange it?

- I'll see what I can do.

It's a couple of fellows,...

... named old Burke and Hare.

They're in the Troitsa this week.

I'll see what I can do.

- It must be female, no more

than twenty years old.

Oh, I shan't forget.

It's exactly how I like them.

It's alright, isn't it?

I mean, she has been pretty, hasn't she?

Except, with a cart we went over her.

Wait in there.

You'll find a good brandy.

What do you think he needs 'em for?

- Eh?

- What do you think he does with them?

- I don't know.

But, if I was you, I wouldn't need
