I, Frankenstein Page #2

But some things had not changed.

If the demons could find

me in the wilderness,

it was only a matter of time

before they found me here.

Which is why I had

to find them first.

(CAR HORNS HONKING IN DISTANCE)

(SNARLS)

Naberius, where is he?

Police!

Put down your weapon!

(PANTING)

Good evening, Mr. Wessex.

Where does life begin

and where does it end?

Tonight's experiment represents the

culmination of three years of work...

Time is fleeting, Dr. Wade.

I'd ask that you not waste mine.

Commencing reanimation sequence.

CARL:
(OVER INTERCOM)

Patch clamp amplifier set.

Pulse generators calibrated.

ICD wiring in right ventricle.

TERRA:

Energy output set to three joules.

For the record, subject's

heart is currently dormant.

Firing current in three, two, one.

Clear and shock.

(ELECTRICITY CRACKLING)

CARL:
Muscle spasms in the

upper torso and legs.

Looks good.

Detecting intracellular electrical

activity in both atria.

We are in the ventricles.

We have an atrial flutter.

Watch out for ectopics.

Irregular ectopic beats

have begun on schedule.

(ALARM BEEPING)

Ventricular fibrillation. Subject's

going into cardiac arrest.

TERRA:
Up the current to 50 joules.

Current raised to 50.

The heart rate's spiking.

There's no defibrillation.

- Double it.

- Current set to 100.

Pulse is fading! Terra!

Double it again!

- No, I can't!

- I said double it!

That'll kill it!

It's already dead!

CARL:
200 joules.

Come on.

Live.

(CRACKLING)

(FLATLINING)

(SIGHS)

(MONITOR BEEPING)

There's a heartbeat.

Switch to life support.

Life support functioning.

Sinus rhythm established.

It's breathing.

Sir, we have a situation.

You're certain?

No, sir. But the way it attacked,

strong and fast, like a gargoyle.

It descended seven of us.

I managed to fight it off.

I think I wounded it.

I think it's wounded.

It descended seven demons,

yet you escaped?

Well, I thought you'd

want to hear this.

Yes, you presumed.

You presumed to know what I want.

Well, considering how long

you've been hunting the creature...

And you thought I'd want you

to tell me about the creature

rather than capture it yourself.

That's the choice you made.

Yeah.

It's interesting.

(GRUNTS)

(IN DEMONIC VOICE) Do not ever

presume to know what I want.

Is that understood?

Forgive me,

Prince Naberius.

(CLOCK BELL CHIMING)

(ADAM GRUNTING)

(PANTING)

Ophir, if you think...

(GROANS)

No. (STRAINING)

No!

When do you begin the final stage?

Uh, Mr. Wessex, our bodies

are the most complex

living organisms in the universe.

Animating a simple

rat is one thing,

but a human is still

far out of reach.

Is it? What do you
