Yeah, he's still there.

OK, let's make some history.

Again.

You wanna do the honors?

Event one, 11 kilowatts,

in three, two, one.

I didn't do it.

Sh*t. Somebody flipped the breaker.

Zoe!

Sweetie? No pulse! No pulse!

She's been electrocuted.

- Get me an adrenalin shot right now!

- What can I do? What can I do?

- Come on, Zoe!

- What can I...?

Here you go.

No pulse. No pulse. OK.

- I need the defibrillator right now.

- I got it, I got it.

One, two, three!

OK. Sh*t.

Can we just talk about this a second,

man?

There's nothing to talk about.

The serum works, we know it works.

Yeah, but what if she comes back

all messed up like the dog?

Not gonna happen! I'm gonna adjust

the dosage and tailor the levels.

- It'll be fine.

- Frank, I want her back, too,

but if the cops come

and we're cutting up a human body,

- we're going to jail, all of us.

- Do you think I care about jail?

- Frank, this isn't some lab experiment.

- I know!

This is a person. You're talking about

bringing someone back from the dead.

- We've done it before. It's gonna work.

- Not like this.

I am so sorry, but this is

crossing a line. This is a human being!

Fine. Get outta here.

I'm gonna do it myself.

- Frank, come on, man.

- I am not gonna lose her.

Not like this.

Thank you. Thank you.

I need you to pull the switch.

Niko, we good?

Half of this stuff is fried.

I can't read...

Niko, are we good?

- Yeah, we're good.

- OK.

Clay, tone. Starting event one,

9.5 kilovolts.

Just hold on! Wait.

He's coming.

- What is...

- Can't help her in jail, all right?

All right? Let's go.

Sh*t.

- Come on.

- Sh*t.

- Careful.

- All right. We're good, we're good.

Damn it. He's coming.

Holy sh*t.
