and what do you see?

Straight lines and deodorant,|chrome and Formica? No, no, no.

You see blood and bone, pump and flow,|and a million messy miracles.

Look at the most creative thing|man and woman can do together

and you'll see|something growing, unpredictable,

magical, hot.

Save the malarkey for your wife, Holland.

If you don't mind,|where the hell's the sensor?

It's right over there.

Looks OK to me.

Here, let me help.

(rattles)

Well, it doesn't look OK to me.

- Let's get back.|- All right.

Charlie?

Charlie!

Cable, what the hell is your story?

Anything suspicious happen|while we were gone?

You're damn right.|Something suspicious did happen.

A stupid broad of an agent,|first day on the job,

takes a scientist we're supposed|to be guarding for a romp in the bush.

- Hold it. Just cool it.|- You think you're on a picnic?

Wait. It was my idea to take her out there.|She was doin' her job.

- Why do you have to be so worried?|- It's my job to worry.

And if I have my way, you'll be|on the next chopper back to Washington.

A woman has no place|around a guy like you.

There's a cut sensor out there.

- Which sector?|- Sector three.

Hank was working on that|when he was bitten by the 'gator.

He didn't put it all back together again|before we took him to the hospital.

- "Tickled pink", huh?|- I'm really sorry, Cable.

Well, I guess you can't be blamed|for following your natural way.

Did either of you see|one of our guys out there? Ronnie?

- No. Why?|- We seem to have lost contact with him.

(explosion)

- Linda, are you all right?|- It's OK, it's OK.

The damnedest thing.

You know this new batch you had me|cook up with the host from Alessandro?

I knew we were up to something|revolutionary, but this is dynamite.

Watch.

- Incredible.|- Weird, huh?

- Yeah.|- Congratulations.

You've managed to reinvent nitro. Let's|hope this project doesn't end with a bang.

Come on, Charlie, please.|I gotta write this down.

I thought you were|working on a weapons system.

- I knew it wasn't just plants.|- Plants, plants.

The only way I thought my work|would be explosive was socially.

It's never been this volatile before.

Linda, prep a sample of that|for the electron microscope, please.

- And be very careful with it.|- What is it you've been doing here?

Come over here. I'll show you.

You see those little guys?

DNA chromosomes|from the common lab bacilli E. coli.

Now, you see that one? Another simple|bacilli. Plant matrix called D complex.

Each of these organisms have existed in|the labs for years, but always separately,

since one is animal, the other's vegetable.

This is what we've developed|over the last couple of months.

See that little guy? Never existed on the|face of the earth before. That's my baby.
