-AND HOW DID

THE RESULTS COME IN?

MM.

I SAID THURSDAY.

-Not Thursday.

We have some real problems here.

-TOMORROW?

IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM REASONABLE.

I DIDN'T SAY

IT WAS UNREASONABLE.

I SAID IT DIDN' SEEM REASONABLE.

WE AGREED ON THURSDAY,

AND I'D LIKE TO STICK TO THA IF WE CAN, OKAY?

-I don't care what we agreed to.

-OKAY.

THANK YOU.

OKAY.

BYE.

I'LL HAVE TO STEP OU FOR A WHILE, WILLIAM.

STAY HERE.

DON'T GO OUTSIDE.

I JUST DON'T THINK

YOU'RE READY IS ALL.

IF YOU NEED ANYTHING

OR IF ANYTHING HAPPENS,

JUST PICK UP THE TELEPHONE...

[ PEN CLICKS ]

...AND DIAL THESE NUMBERS

AND CALL ME.

WILLIAM, YOU PUT THIS CEREAL

IN A BOWL WITH MILK,

AND THAT'S HOW YOU EAT CEREAL.

OKAY.

AND USED IT AS AN RNA TEMPLATE

LIKE YOU SAID.

SAME RESULTS EVERY TIME. LOOK.

CELL DIVISION RATE IS PERFECT.

THEY'RE PRETTY MUCH EXACT CLONES

IN EVERY PHYSICAL WAY.

THEY'VE GO THE SAME BLOOD PRESSURE,

SAME BRAIN FUNCTION,

SAME RESPONSE TIME,

BUT...WE'VE RUN

INTO SOME OTHER ISSUES.

MASSIVE BRAIN TUMORS

HAVE DEVELOPED:

IN 7 OUT OF 10 OF THEM.

-70% HAVE BRAIN TUMORS?

[ GUNSHOT ]

AND HOW LONG DO THEY LIVE?

-THEY'RE NOT GONNA MAKE I A MONTH.

[ KNOCK ON DOOR ]

-I HATE TO DO THIS TO YOU

ON YOUR FIRST DAY BACK,

BUT WE HAVE SOME VISITORS

FROM UPSTAIRS.

[ DOOR BEEPS ]

-WHAT DO YOU MEAN "UPSTAIRS"?

-THEY'RE DOWN HERE TO TALK ABOU WHAT HAS BECOME

A VERY SENSITIVE ISSUE.

-WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

-AND I NEED YOU

TO COOPERATE WITH THEM.
