Darkman II: The Return of Durant Page #5

outside of the constraints

of established funding.

You know?.

I mean, just

look around this place.

Just imagine...

the possibilities in here.

That's, uh...

the dream, you know.

It's important

to have a dream.

I'm impressed.

I'm impressed with you.

The work on those disks--

brilliant.

Let me show you something.

Come on.

There was similar work

to yours published

a few years back.

It was by a scientist

named...

Westlake.

You know him?

I was familiar

with his work.

I ran the formulas you used

for the polymer base.

I used a similar one myself

a few months back.

It didn't work either.

But I was using

negatively-charged ions.

You used a silicon base?.

No, no. Carbon.

But last night

I ran a sample set

using your formulas,

only I reversed the charge

of the ions.

And in full exposure

to sunlight,

this little sucker

lasted 1 73 minutes.

[ Both Laughing ]

You did it!

You beat

the 99-minute barrier!

- You did it.

- Hey, it's only one sample.

But I think together we

could crack the structure for

a permanently stable polymer.

That is, if you'd be

interested in a partnership.

Oh, I'm interested.

I'm very interested.

Only to crack it,

we're gonna need a digital

spectrochronometer.

One of the new 1 000 models.

They're expensive.

No, don't worry.

Money's not a problem.

- What, do you have a grant?.

- No, I, uh, I get donations

from the community.

Partners, then?.

Partners.

[ Laughs ]

When can we start?.

[Beeping]

I have to see somebody.

I have an appointment.

I'll talk to you soon.

This is fantastic.

Thank you.

This is fantastic!

Thank you,

Dr. Brinkman!

Partners, huh?.

[ Laughing ]

[ Beeping ]

[Television, Indistinct ]

Here, kitty, kitty.

Come on.

I have a surprise.

[ Beeping Continues ]

I'd like you to meet

a friend of mine.

- Ah, there you are!

[ Laughing ]

- [ Cat Yowling ]

Come on. Come on.

[ Woman On Television ]

Thank you for that report.

While there's no question

as to the victim's identity,

questions remain unanswered.

Be careful. He bites.

[ Woman ]... the criminal empire

built by Robert G. Durant, who

disappeared a few years ago.

Latham, suspected

in several gangland slayings,

had emerged as a brutal

lord of the underworld;

tonight his reign is over.

His death, police believe,

may signal that there is

more than one contender...

to the throne left vacant

by Robert Durant.

- I'll continue to bring you

more on this story.

- No! David!

Okay.

The D.I.N.I. samples

have stabilized.

The cell membranes--

Mmm--

remain elastic.

And there appears to be

no breakdown...

in cell structure...

or activity after...

Okay.

Let's go for the record,
