You see, monkeys are expensive.
Eddie.
F***!
Sh*t!
Eddie!
Sh*t!
Oh f***!
F***! Eddie!
Sh*t!
F***!
Don't move!
Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!
Shut your f***ing mouth!
Explain it to me.
'W Delta Z"- what does it mean?
The Price equation?
W is fitness, the ability
to reproduce across generations.
Z is a particular trait.
Delta...
- That's technical.
l don't understand.
Humor us!
The selfish gene.
Go on.
You think a bird will
sacrifice itself for the flock
or a bee will sting a predator
and die for the hive?
How noble. How heroic.
And it isn't true?
- No, it isn't true.
Suppose you put a snake in the cage
and one of the monkeys is a hero,
yeah, lures it away...
that it should eat him?
But it's not heroism.
It's not selflessness.
Forget the bees.
Forget the monkeys.
F*** the monkey!
The monkey's nothing.
Just think what the monkey's made of.
What's that?
Genes!
The monkey is just the gene's way
All these monkeys,
they're all related.
So the monkey dies -
what do the genes care?
That's what Price proved.
There's no altruism in nature.
lt's just genes
Iooking after themselves.
How many dead monkeys so far?
Would you mind
not smoking in here, please?
Just imagine a hero
without a genetic motive.
Not a relative,
not a potential mate.
Now, that would be interesting,
wouldn't it?
When did you graduate to people?
What do you mean?
Why did you run?
Ketamine...
l though that's why...
l've been dealing ketamine.
lf you want,
l can give you their names.
l've been so low on funding
l've just had to improvise.
We have four dead bodies, Dr. Gelb,
knocked out with your animal tranq.
Two of them with your equation
carved into their flesh.
l didn't kill anyone!
Somebody's carving the Price equation
into people's bodies?
F***!
F***!
l'm sure l didn't kill anyone.
He's got the animal tranqs.
He's got the theory,
which is a pretty freaky coincidence.
And he's nuts.
to work it out, right?
Why scratch your message
into the corpses?
lt's a tough code to crack.
We need help,
so he sends us to Dr. Gelb.
Gelb's had a message from God.
Tell the world!
Repent its selfishness or burn!
lt's not Dr. Gelb!
Until last night he was at
a conference at State University.
Whoever it is, is running
an experiment like Dr. Gelb.
And this whack-job actually thinks
we're gonna learn f***in' algebra!
lt says love is bullshit.
Deep down, it's just genes and
genes don't give a damn about love.
But human beings,
what's our love worth?
Our guardian genome?
The mother of your children,
