The Frankenstein Theory Page #2

and experiments

so what you have,

if you can imagine it,

is the greatest

scientific minds in Europe

building upon each

generation's work.

Culminating in the creation

of what most people call

the Frankenstein Monster.

The actual creator was

Johann Venkenheim,

he was my grandfather's

great-great-grandfather.

This is Johann's lab.

So what does

this prove exactly?

What does it...

Well, it's a genetics lab.

That's from my family's

photo archives.

That was the first

of its kind.

I mean, f*** Mendel,

Johann was the father

of modern genetics.

His work predates Mendel

by over half a century.

While Mendel was splitting peas

and fooling around with flowers,

Johann was bringing something

miraculous into the world.

Something that's never

been done before,

hasn't been done since.

And who do I read

about in a text book?

At any rate this,

this lab...

This is where

he created him.

VICKY:
Can you explain that?

JONATHAN:
The technique?

No, I can't.

The technique is lost.

The notes,

the research destroyed.

It seems that Johann

and whoever assisted him,

they were so frightened

or appalled by

what they'd created,

that they destroyed everything

so that the experiment

could never be recreated.

BRIAN:
That sucks.

That sucks?

Yeah, it sucks.

It sucks

because it means

no matter how much

evidence I collect,

no matter how much

data I collect,

my theory will

never be accepted

until I find him.

And I can say now with

the utmost confidence

that the Frankenstein Monster

is real.

That he exists,

and he's alive now,

and I think

I can find him.

You know,

Jonathan's theory is

a lot to swallow.

So I just don't want

people getting

a bad impression of him.

But do you believe it?

What exactly are you

asking me here?

Do you believe

that there is

a Frankenstein Monster?

Just take that

and come here.

Excuse me.

Don't you know

he's on suspension

from the University?

Really?

Yeah.

No, I didn't know that.

Well, he's embarrassed

about it.

Jonathan is obsessed

with this bullshit theory.

You know it,

I know it.

I mean, it's all

he talks about.

He barely sleeps,

barely eats,

barely talks to me.

It is ruining him

and you're helping.

And you're gonna

go off to the Arctic.

You're gonna be in search

of this Frankenstein, and

you aren't gonna find him.

Because to answer your question,

no, he doesn't exist.

You know that.

But Jonathan, let me tell you

he's not gonna give up.

This is not

gonna end well.

This is the first movement

of Mozart's requiem.

He wrote it on his deathbed.

It started out

as a commission piece

but ultimately ended up

becoming his own requiem.
