Yes.

'It's Cameron Vale.'

We missed you.

I made a breakthrough to Revok.

I want to come in. I want to bring you

an informant from Revok's group.

That's excellent.

I'll arrange for you to be brought in.

Can you call me back in about ten minutes?

OK. Goodbye, Dr. Ruth.

All set?

Ten minutes.

We may have developed a serious problem.

Vale's coming in. He says

he has an informant from your group.

Now, is that possible?

No, he's lying.

Then why is he coming in?

Maybe he's homesick.

Vale must know something or his informant

does. It could be about me and you.

Then you'd better be the one

to interrogate the informant.

Ruth will talk to Vale.

I won't be able to prevent that.

If Ruth finds out anything,

anything at all... kill him.

Really?

- I thought you didn't want...

- Kill him.

Really.

One-six, Central,

this is ConSec two-niner. Clear to land.

'ConSec two-niner, this is ConSec Central.

Security is in place. You are clear to land.

'Repeat, affirmative to land.'

I'm afraid I'm going to have to

give you both an injection of Ephemerol.

Well, Braedon, no apologies,

no vote of confidence,

and my man brought back the goods.

We save the party until

we've unwrapped the presents.

It won't take long.

I have a way with these creatures.

I know that.

So has Trevellyan.

That's why he's asked me

to take the informant.

You can do what you like with Vale.

What if that won't work?

Police-state tactics simply won't work, sir.

Really? Why don't you send a letter

to the Board about that, Doctor?

I'm sure they'd love to hear from you.

Come in.

Welcome.

Congratulations.

It's good to have you back home.

Where's the girl? She should be here.

She's in another room, being interrogated.

I thought it would be you.

So did I. That's why I made sure the needles

I gave you both were harmless.

She'll be able

to protect herself if there's any problem.

Why did you do that?

Gesture of trust, dear friend.

I have my own methods.

And I've nothing to hide.

Nothing at all to hide.

Not even the RIPE programme?

The what?

Do you know of a drug laboratory

called Biocarbon Amalgamate?

Yes, of course. I founded it in 1942.

- You?

- I sold it to ConSec. That's why I'm here.

Let's say that

we have a... genial working relationship.

Do you know what that lab does?

It's been so long

since I've been in touch with them...

As far as I know,

they make some sort of chemical weaponry,

among other things.

It manufactures Ephemerol for Darryl Revok.

It may even be run by Darryl Revok.

That's impossible.

No. I was there.

I took the place of one of Revok's men.

I saw Revok in the control room.

The production of Ephemerol

is computerized.

David Cronenberg

David Paul Cronenberg, CC OOnt FRSC (born March 15, 1943) is a Canadian filmmaker, actor and author. Cronenberg is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or visceral horror genre. This style of filmmaking explores people's fears of bodily transformation and infection. In his films, the psychological is typically intertwined with the physical. In the first half of his career, he explored these themes mostly through horror and science fiction, although his work has since expanded beyond these genres. His films have won numerous awards, including the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his film Crash (1996). more…
