Hollow Man movie

Dialogues and Scenario for Hollow Man movie



(SQUEALING)

(GROWLS)

JAY LENO : They have this all
bird TV, have you seen it?

KEVIN EUBANKS :
No.

LENO : Oh, sure, it's all-bird
TV. I'll give 'em a plug.

It's all birds.

I watched it with the cat.
The cat... fixated by this.

I'm amazed by this.

LENO :
All right, I believe you.

(LENO SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

Damn it!

LENO :
You gonna finish that?

(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)





Damn it.

(SIGHS)

(SIREN WAILING)

(GROANS)





I... am a goddamn genius.

(PHONE RINGING)

Oh, my God.

Sebastian, do you have any
idea what time it is?

Da Vinci never slept.
Said it was a waste of time.

Who's that?

Not your business.

Not anymore.

Linda...

I cracked the reversion.

(LAUGHS)

You cracked it?

Look at this.

(TYPING)

Watch.

Eleven months and you
suddenly come up with it

out of the blue?

How?

The usual.
Coffee and Twinkies.

I hate you.

I know. Think you
can track down Matt

and get to the lab early?

I want Isabelle
prepped for a live test.

Yeah. I think I can find him.

When are you gonna be in?

Well, it should be daylight
in Sweden now.

So I should probably call
the Nobel committee

and tell them
to get our prize ready.

I'll see you in a few.

(SQUEALS)

Matt.

Sebastian called.
We gotta get to the lab.

What's the rush?

He cracked reversion.

You're kidding.

When?

While we were sleeping.

You want a ride?

Mmm. Maybe we should
take our own cars.

I'm tired of this
sneaking around, Lin.

You're gonna have to tell him
eventually.

I will, eventually.

I'm just waiting
for the right time.

With Sebastian, there's never
gonna be a right time.

Morning, Dr. Caine.
Good morning.

Okay, have a nice day, sir.
Thank you.

Good morning, sir.
Good morning, Ed.

Your team's in early today.
Something special going on?

Sorry, Ed. You know the rules.

FEMALE VOICE:
Authorization, please.

Caine, 0027.

Confirmed.

(CAR ALARM CHIRPS)

(BARKING)

(MONKEY SCREECHING)

Hi.

(GROWLING)

Isabelle.

(FOOTSTEPS)

(BANGING, GROWLING)

(MONKEYS SCREECHING)

(GROWLING)

Come on, Isabelle.

Calm down, baby.

Good girl.

Shh.

It's okay.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

Hold still.

(GROWLING)
(YELLING)



(YELPS)

Isabelle?

Yeah. She's been more
aggressive the last few days.

That's what tranquilizers
are for.

I'll get her.

She's been
gone too long.

It's starting to affect
her brain.

You take care of that bite.

Thanks, but I'll manage.

Hey.

Ten bucks says
I nail her first.

You're on.

(THUMPING)

♪ Isabelle ♪

Daddy's got a surprise
for you.

(ROARS)

(ISABELLE GRUNTS)

You missed.

Maybe that's 'cause
I don't spend my

lunch hours practicing.

You owe me ten.

Put it on my tab.

You know,

someday I may actually
make you pay up.

(DOOR WHIRRING)

Sarah's on the warpath,
so I suggest you play nice.

This is bullshit, Sebastian.
Bullshit.

And good morning to you too.

Let's get the monkey
on the table.

How can you morally justify
injecting Isabelle

with the serum
before you've even tested it?

'Cause it'll save time.

Fine. Then you can mop
up afterwards.

You think I'm trying to kill
Isabelle with the new protocol?

Kill? More like liquefy.

Lab's prepped.

Well... your objections are duly
noted and summarily overruled.

Yes, sir.

How come when you say,
Yes, sir,

it kind of sounds like,
"Fuck you"?

Practice.

How'd you ever convince me
to hire her?

You said you wanted
the best vet in the country.

She cares more about
the animals than the research.

And maybe that's
why she's so good.

So this guy you're seeing,
what's he like?

He's everything you're not.

Oh.

He must be dull.





Ready in 40.

Okay.

Vitals?

All normal.

Using the word "normal"
loosely, of course.

Emergency medical, standing by.
Tech, what's your status?

(MAN OVER P.A.):
This is God.

You are disturbing
the natural order of things

and will be severely punished
for all eternity.

God has spoken.

How many times
do I have to tell you, Frank?

You're not God.

I am.

Sorry, chief. Forgot.

You guys ready to roll yet?

Yep.

Like those sorry-ass M.D.'s
have ever had to wait for us.

You tell His Highness I
had Mary hot and juiced

two hours ago.

Yeah, I'll tell him that.

Ready up here, chief.

Okay. Roll and record.

Rolling.

FRANK :
Subject, Isabelle Two.

Currently in phase-shift,
126 hours.

(MACHINE BEEPING)

Testing D-phase protocol,

Serial Irradiated Protein
Caine 125.

You know, maybe if you stopped
naming 'em after yourself,

you'd have better luck.

Thank you,
Dr. Kensington,

for that keen
scientific observation.

I'll be sure to include
it in my memoirs.

I'm so flattered, Dr. Caine.

I'll be sure to
put you in mine.

Would you guys be serious,
please?

(ISABELLE GROANS)

You think she'll make it?

I don't know, I just work
here.

Quantum signatures
are calibrated.

Okay, Sarah, get us a vein.

Spray.

Vein's prepped.

All right.

Here goes nothing.

Bad form, Matthew.
The honor is mine.

Okay.

Injection occurred at 0847.

Elevated heartbeat.

We're still in the green.

Confirmed.

Bioelectric energy and quantum
shift indicators are stable.

We're getting cellular
reaction.

(MOANS)

It's working.
It's actually working.

Of course it is.
Don't get cocky.

(SNARLS)

(HEART MONITOR BEEPING)

Heart rate's up.
She's scared. It's okay, baby.

Subject began manifesting
almost immediately.

Protocol's acting quickly.

Goddamn it, blood pressure
crashing. Pulse high.

It's her heart.

FRANK :
I got an erratic heartbeat.

Brain activity's
through the roof.

She's going into
cardiac arrest. Defib!

Prep an intracardiac.

Flatline. We're losing her.

No, we're not. Hit her.

Clear.

Again.
Clear.

Again!
Clear.

Come on.
Again!

Clear.

Fuck. Intracardiac.

Wait!
No, we got something.

SARAH : Still erratic... and stabilizing.



(GROANING)

Oh, man.

Brain activity
returning to normal.

Quantum signatures
are stable.

Welcome back, Isabelle.

Woo-hoo!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

Yeah! Yeah!

Yeah, baby!

LINDA : We did it.
MATTHEW : Good work, everyone.

CARTER : Yeah. That's the
way it's done, man. Yeah.

So how's she doing, doc?

Well, I think she's
gonna be okay.

Come on. Right in there.

Come on, Isabelle.

Go ahead. Good girl.

Man,
look how peaceful she is.

Yup. If I didn't know
about her, I'd say

nothing happened to her.

Yeah. So let's schedule
a vivisection for Monday.

I want to check
her neuropathways.

You just brought her back,

and now you're gonna slice up
her brain?

I'm not running a goddamn zoo,
all right?

You're a fucking
unethical bastard.

He's kidding.
Tell her you're kidding.

Right?
Right.

I don't wanna cut her up
for another few weeks.

Sebastian,
don't be such an asshole.

Come on, you guys, we finally
have something to celebrate.

Cool. I'm hungry, let's go.
Me too.

Ha, ha, ha.
We should cut you up.

MAN :
Sir.

Ladies and gentlemen,
a moment of your time, please.

Uh, here it comes.

To the finest research team
I have ever known.

Cheers.
Cheers.

ALL:
Cheers.

Get me.

Oh!

And then there was
a big explosion.

And afterward she said,
"If you're so smart,

why are you still
in the second grade?"

(ALL LAUGHING)

How long did it take her
to grow her eyebrows back?

FRANK :
About a month.

JANICE : How long were you suspended?

A month.

(ALL LAUGHING)



Hey.

I thought you'd gone.

There's nowhere to go.

Did I miss something?

Aren't you
supposed to be happy?

You know, reversion was
the last big breakthrough.

Kind of feels like
the beginning of the end.

That's not true.
We've got a lifetime of data.

Oh, no. People like Matt
have the patience

to crunch the numbers,
but you know me,

I need this grandeur
and the spectacle.

I can't concern myself
with the details.

(LAUGHS)
Yeah, I know.

I was one of them.

I thought we were great
together.

You were great.

I was just
standing next to you.

Come on.
We had some good times.

Yeah, we had
some good times.

(BOTH LAUGH)

Have you ever wanted to
turn the clock back?

Go back and try again?

I'd say that kind of
time travel doesn't exist.

Well...

maybe we should invent it.

Or not.

(MONKEY SCREECHING)

(ISABELLE GRUNTING)

(BARKING)

What's it like?

SEBASTIAN: Four years
ago, this committee gave me

a very specific
and challenging task,

to successfully phase-shift
a human being

out of quantum sync
with the visible universe,

and return him safely
with no after effects.

Well, we found that
sending them to

Never Never Land was easy.

It's the getting them back
that's hard.

Primary DNA strands
decaying on you?

Along with cellular bond
instability.

How have you
solved the problem?

I haven't.

But... we're close.

We just need more time.

Ever since you walked
into my classroom

in your freshman year,

I knew that
you were different.

Over the years, your genius
has been most impressive.

Thank you, Dr. Kramer.

Well, don't
thank me yet.

This committee has given you
remarkable leeway.

We've tolerated
your personal eccentricities,

as well as your need
for privacy.

And I assure you,
our patience is running out.

If we don't get results
and get them soon,

your genius will cease
to impress me.

And if you can't
make it work,

I'll find another
Sebastian Caine who can.

What the fuck
just happened in there?

Yeah, this better
be goddamn good.

I wasn't ready
for them to know yet.

(SCOFFS)
You weren't ready.

Ready's got nothing
to do with it.

You have results,
you report them.

Can I please just explain?

You just lied
to the fucking Pentagon.

Once they know that
we've completed the circle,

what's to stop them
from taking over the project?

Why would they
do that?

Because they won't
need us anymore.

But it's their project.
It's gonna happen sometime.

It may be their project,
but it's my dream, my vision.

And what are you
proposing?

That we go to phase three
ourselves.

Phase three? Are you nuts?
What?

You can't just jump
into human testing.

There are rules, procedures.

You don't make history
by following the rules.

You make it
by seizing the moment.

You want to be
the first one, don't you?

That's what this is about.

No, this is not about me,
this is about us.

We always said
we would change the world.

Now is our chance.

And we'll get
the Nobel Prize.

Come on, buddy.

You know, if somebody finds
out that we bypassed

advisory review, we're
never gonna work again.

But if it works,
no one will care.

(LINDA WHOOPING)

How the hell did you
get clearance for phase three?

I volunteered.
They approved.

SARAH :
No way.

You're kidding.

You volunteered?
Are you insane?

Jonas Salk tested
the polio vaccine on himself.

Was he insane?

Yeah, I'm pretty sure
he was.

Shit.

In the past four weeks, we have
brought back seven primates.

I think the results
speak for themselves.

Do they, or do you just
want to believe that?

Honestly, Sarah,
I thought you'd be happy.

After all... we are giving
the animals a break.

SARAH : Moving this fast
is bad science, no matter

who the guinea pig is.

I can't believe
the committee approved this.

I think it's fucking cool.

You would.

If we're going to move forward,
this is the next logical step.

Now...

I'll stay shifted for
three days of testing,

and then we'll perform
a quantum reversion.

Fuck, yes.

I trust I can count on
your best work?

Good.

(DREAMY POP PLAYING)

(SIGHS)

How did we let him
talk us into this?

Can we talk about it later?

I'm trying to make love to
you.

You realize that we're risking
our professional lives here.

Yes, Matt, I realize.

Then why did we
agree to it?

Because we're suckers.

And because sometimes when you
get to the edge of the map,

you have to keep sailing
to see what's out there.

(LAUGHS)

And maybe we both know that
Sebastian can pull it off.

Hmm.

Let me ask you
another question.

Is it about
who's gonna be on top?

You ever miss being with him?

Why do you ask that?

Because he sets the bar
pretty high.

Let me tell you a little
secret.

The concept of Sebastian
is much more appealing

than Sebastian himself.

(WHISTLES)

(CHUCKLES)

Whereas, you...

Mm-hmm.

...you're methodical...

Mm-hmm.

...precise...

...and very, very thorough.

Besides...

You fit better.

We're ready for you.

See you later.

You know, it's not too late
to change your mind.

I thought I was supposed to be
the nervous one.

Well, we do have a lot
riding on this.

Hey. Did you ever hear
the one about Superman

and Wonder Woman?

Stop clowning around.

Come on. This is a good one.

Superman is flying
over Metropolis.

He's horny as hell, he's
checking out the rooftops.

And all of a sudden,
he sees Wonder Woman

sunning herself on the roof
of the Justice League.

She's lying there buck-naked,
spread-eagle.

Looking like she wants
to be fucked, right?

(CHUCKLING) So Superman,
he says to himself,

Oh, my God, I gotta get myself
some of that Wonder pussy.

But then he realizes that
he could fly down,

do a little fast pumping,

and be gone
before she even knows it

because he's Superman, right?

He's faster than
a speeding bullet.

So Superman, he swoops down,
he fucks her so quick,

she doesn't even see him.

Wonder Woman sits up...

says, "What the fuck was
that?"

And the Invisible Man says,
I don't know,

but my asshole
is killing me. "

That's funny, right?
Come on, guys. That's funny.



Ladies, please.
This is science.

Starting IV drip.

Okay, how are you feeling?

I'm a little tense.

Pulse 88. BP 140/95.
It's a bit elevated.

I wonder why.

Are you sure?

Positive.

Are we ready
up in heaven?

Ready.

Mary's rolling.

I just hope we're not making
a snuff film. Rolling.

If it is a snuff film,
I got dibs on his Porsche.

Janice, how can you say that?

Sorry.

Porsche is mine.

Subject male, age 38,
weight 166 pounds.

Serum's irradiated.

This better work.
SEBASTIAN: It will.

Oh, yeah?

You want to bet on it?

If I win, you won't be
around to pay off,

so I don't think so.

Are you ready?

I'll do it.

That way if anything goes
wrong, you can't be blamed.

All right.

Any last words?

Yeah. If I die, pretend I said
something deep and clever.







Injection administered
at 1823.

Are you feeling anything?

Nothing so far.

Vitals are all stable.

Nothing's happening.

Human DNA structure
is more complex,

it may take more time.

Are you sure you
pulsed it right?

We did it by the book.
Recheck the radiation.

It can't be non-reactive.
Frank.

No change in
bioelectric activity.

Goddamn it!

I'll repeat
the protocol, okay?

Wait.

I'm starting to feel
something.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It's my arm. It's...

It's getting warm.

Okay, it's starting
to tingle.

Yeah, it's moving down
into my back.

(SCREAMS)

(HEART MONITOR BEEPING)

Here we go.

(SCREAMS)

Shit! It hurts.

It's tearing me.

Heartbeat's elevated.
Pulse at 110. 130.

Christ, didn't think it
would hurt so much.

Frank, readouts!

Brain waves are spiking.
He's on the verge of a seizure.

Pulse is 165, 170.
Blood pressure 180 over 110.

Sebastian,
can you hear me?

Sebastian!

He's gonna
blow out his heart!

Standby paddles!

Coming in.

I'm getting some cellular
quantum readings.

He's gonna shift.
Bioelectric in the red.

Wait.

He's going.

SARAH :
Pulse is 180.

Holding stable.

Holy shit.

Pulse is dropping.
170, 160, 150.

(GROANING)

FRANK : Bio-quantum
phase-shift occurred at 1826.

Is he okay?

Yeah, he's in
bioelectric shock.

Passed out from the trauma.

Vitals returning to normal?

Pulse 110, dropping.
Blood pressure's 130/75.

JANICE :
Quantum readings normal.

Electrical activity
is stabilizing.

Something to tell
the grandkids.

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

Pulse steady at 85.

You did it.
You're the first.

(GASPS)

It's okay.
It's okay.

You nodded off.

His breathing's hypnotic.

Yeah.

How long has it been?

Seventeen hours.

And we already have enough data
for two lifetimes of research.

It's a brave new world, Lin.

I keep looking at that hole,
wondering if he's really there.

Did you see that?

Sebastian,
can you hear me?

(SCREAMS)

Christ! The lights!
Turn off the goddamn lights!

I can't close my eyes.

You can, but your eyelids
are transparent.

It's weird. I feel the same,
but I'm not here.

You're here.

Sebastian?

I'm right here.

Where?

At the mirror.

Looking at myself.

Or, rather,
not looking at myself.

Hey, how's he doing?

Why don't you ask
Sebastian?

How do you feel?

Oh, not too bad,
considering.

(WHISTLING)

Just want to
set the mood.

It's the light.
His eyelids are transparent.

So, what's it like
being a ghost?

Ghosts are dead.
I'm very much alive.

Come on, Sebastian,
don't be a dick.

SEBASTIAN: Sorry.
Whoa, I couldn't resist.

Okay, now I feel like
we're playing Marco Polo.

SEBASTIAN:
Mmm, I wonder where he is now.

Well, I see the procedure's
not changed your personality.

(LAUGHS)

He just brushed by me.

No worries, I'm on it.

JANICE :
Do you see anything?

CARTER :
Where is he?

You got him?

Sebastian?

(CHUCKLES)
Got you, chief.

Ah.

You guys have
no sense of fun.

(GIRLS SCREAM)

Shit. Oh, my God.

So I've arranged for one of us
to be here 24/7

in case you need anything.

Uh, the team's gonna be
on alpha call alert

for the duration, so if
anything goes wrong,

we can be here within-

Thirty minutes. I know.

I wrote the
procedure, remember?

I was trying to be
reassuring.

We've set up a thermal camera
for observation.

She likes this,
doesn't she?

What's that?

Being in charge.

Oh, yeah.
She loves it.

It's about time the shoe
was on the other foot.

Well, just remember.

It's still my project.

(SIGHS)

Are you sure you're okay
taking the late shift?

Yes. It's not like
I have a social life anymore.

I know.
The workaholic's curse.

Carter's gonna be in by
six to spell you.

I'll be in at 8. Just call me
if anything happens.

I'll be fine, Lin.
Get some sleep.

Okay. Bye.
Bye.



(SIGHS)

(WHIMPERING)

SEBASTIAN:
Sarah?

Are you awake?

(MOANS)

(GASPS)

(PANTING)

Sebastian?

Are you in here?

I know you're in here.

Then when I checked
the monitor again,

he's back in the bed.

So when I ask him
where he'd been,

he said he's getting
a cup of coffee.

Why didn't
you call me?

Because I wasn't sure.
I'm still not.

I mean,
I could've been dreaming.

I just... thought
I should tell someone.

What do you wanna do?

I don't know.
I have a tough time

believing that he'd
be that crude.

I feel so stupid.

Look, why don't I talk to him?
I'll see what he says-

No, don't.

You know,
it's probably nothing.

I shouldn't have
mentioned it.

So how was
your first night?

Restless.

Hard to sleep when you can't
closing your eyes.

Yeah, what'd you do?

Got up a couple of times.
Walked around.

Sarah mentioned you weren't
in your room last night.

I was getting
a cup of coffee.

Yeah, well,
in the future,

you might wanna tell the
on-call where you're going

just in case
something happens to you.

I'm touched by your concern,
but it's not a problem.

We don't want it
to become one.

Everything's normal.

All right,
let's get these off.

You okay?

Yeah. Why?

You seem
a little nervous.

No. I'm fine.

Are you looking at me?

No.

Why?

No reason.

(CHUCKLING)

FRANK :
What was the clientele like?

Check this out. This guy comes
up to me and he says,

I like my women
like I like my coffee.

Can you believe people
still use that line?

Maybe he meant
cold and bitter.

(GIGGLES)
Ha, very funny.

Listen, I gotta
take a leak.

Keep Carter away from my food
until I get back, okay?

I'll try,
but I can't promise.

All right.

(HUMMING)

(THUD)

(RESUMES HUMMING)

(WATER GURGLING)

(EXHALES)

(URINE TRICKLING)

It'd be freaky at
first, but eventually

it would settle down.

No, the question is,
what would you do

if you knew
you couldn't be seen?

If you ask me, the whole thing
gives me the creeps.

I can't even take a piss
without wearing my thermals.

Like anyone
wants to see that.

How do I know?

Are you asking us
what we would do,

or what we think
Sebastian would do?

What's the difference?

There's human nature,

and then there's
Sebastian's nature.

He's always joking
that he's God.

Imagine what he'd do
if left to his own devices.

Scary thought.

Well, thankfully,
it's almost over.

JANICE : Hallelujah.
It's not over.

It's just beginning. What,
you think Sebastian's bad?

Imagine what the world's
gonna be like

once the military
gets their hands on this.

JANICE : Better our military
than someone else's.



(EQUIPMENT POWERING DOWN)







Sebastian, goddamn it.

SEBASTIAN: You have no
idea how much fun this is.

You should try it.

I'm sure
I'll have my chance.

(GASPS)

Hey, relax.

It's my last night, so
I thought we'd try

one more experiment.

Sebastian...

Can you guess...

what this is?

What?

(SUCKING)

How did it feel?

A little too familiar.

Hey, wanna know
what it's like

to make love
to an invisible man?

It'd just be like old times.

What do you mean?

You were never there.

Well, I'm here now.

We talked about this once,
remember?

What?

You wondered if you'd know
the difference.

Sebastian, I do know
the difference.

It's not what I don't see.

It's what I don't feel.

Get some rest.

Got a big day tomorrow.

Subject:
Dr. Sebastian Caine.

Currently in phase-shift
86 hours, 23 minutes.

D- phase protocol. Injecting
Serial Protein Caine 127.

Irradiation complete.

Set.

Are you ready?
SEBASTIAN: Not really.

I was just starting
to enjoy myself.

Well, tough.

We'll see you in a minute,
my friend.

Injection occurred
at, uh, 0928.

(GASPING)

What are you feeling?

Something's not-
Not- Not right.

(GRUNTING)

(HEART MONITOR BEEPING)

(HEART MONITOR FLATLINING)

Heartbeat elevated. Frank.

Shift indicators are erratic.

Bioelectric is jumping.

Check for radiation.
Crash cart.

(GASPING)

What? What's happening?

I- I c-c-can't... breathe.

Check his airway.

His lungs are seized.
Intubate!

(GRUNTING)

Carter!

Tube him!

(SCREAMS)

(CARTER SCREAMS)

(PANTING)

LINDA :
Sebastian.

(GROANING)

He's going
into phase-shift.

Get him
on the table!

We lost our signals.

CARTER : Goddamn!
MATTHEW : Come on.

Okay, get me

I'm on it.

LINDA :
No pulse.

I've got no pulse!

Starting CPR.

Don't you die on me.

Don't you fucking die on me,
Sebastian.

I'm getting a pulse.

Sebastian,
can you hear me?

I think he's
going into shock.

Jesus.

Hi.

SEBASTIAN:
So I guess it didn't work.

No.

You look worried.
Must've been bad.

You almost died.

Whatever doesn't kill me
makes me stronger.

Yeah,
and ends our careers.

(CHUCKLES)

What are we gonna tell
Kramer?

Nothing.

He doesn't need to know yet.

(CLEARS THROAT)

What about the others?
We can't keep lying to them.

We don't have a choice.

If I'm gonna be stuck
like this for a while,

we're gonna have to make
a few adjustments.



Done.

Open.

SEBASTIAN:
Here. Got her.

(AIR WHISTLING)

MATTHEW :
Okay, lift.

Carter, get the fan.

LINDA :
Okay, don't move.

Don't move.

Thanks. That's better.

Here you go.

If you ask me,
it's an improvement.

Yeah, you could
almost pass for human.

Funny,
he couldn't before.

Well, at least now you have a
face you can talk to.

We can all work
in normal light again.

Okay, let's see if we can't try
to figure out what went wrong.

FRANK : Before he starts
biting people too.

(BEEPING)

Oh! Goddamn it!

What?

I lost cohesion again.

Are you any closer?

No.

You know, I just- I can't
figure out the B and C of it.

The B and C?

My 5th grade teacher told me

that genius is the ability
to get from A to D

without having to go
through B and C.

Sebastian can do that.

But me...

(WHISPERS)
I gotta have the B and C.

(SCREECHING)

(BARKING)

MATTHEW : Hold on, Sebastian.
We're almost there.

(SEBASTIAN GAGGING)

Come on, guys. Out of the way!
Out of the way!

I'm sorry.

(RETCHING)

(VOMIT SPLATTERS)

(PANTING)

I don't know how much more
of this testing I can take.

I know how hard it is.
It's-

Bullshit.
You don't know anything.

Come on, this isn't easy
for any of us.

Oh, fuck you, Matt!

It is easy for you.

I was supposed to be in
phase-shift for three days.

It's been 10 fucking days,
all right?!

Ten days of tissue tests,
radiation tests

and your fucking needles!

(MONKEY SCREECHING)

I can't fucking
take it anymore.

What I meant was-

Oh, fuck what you meant!

And don't ever-

Don't ever tell me
how hard you have it.



(GRUNTING)

Come on, Sebastian. You're
tired and you need to rest.

I can't believe I gotta spend
another night in this place.

(SHUDDERS)

We're trying to do
everything we can.

Yeah. It's not enough.

I'm going out

Okay. Wait a minute.
Going out?

Hold it a second. Wait.
Dr. Caine.

S- Sebastian.

Dr. Caine. What-?
What do you mean, going out?

If I don't get outta here,
I'm gonna go nuts.

Yeah, okay, but you're not
supposed to leave the compound.

Why not?
Well, it's the rule.

It's my rule.
I just changed it.

Uh, we got a problem.

How's it going, Ed?

Hey, doc.

I haven't seen you

I don't give a rat's ass

When he's out there,
he's at risk.

If someone finds
out what he is,

the whole program is destroyed.

SEBASTIAN:
Jeez, relax.

Nobody's gonna find out.

Can I still shoot him?

Where the hell
have you been?

I told Carter.

I was getting
a little stir-crazy.

I went to my apartment
to pick up some stuff.

LINDA :
Bullshit.

I went to your apartment.

You did a hell of a lot more
than "pick up some stuff. "

I have no idea
what you're talking about.

You of all people.
How could you?

What did you see
in my apartment?

I saw your face.

Your clothes.
Sebastian, in public.

Why'd you have
to go out in public?

I'm still project leader.
It's my decision to make.

You're right.
It's your decision.

But if you leave
the compound again,

I swear I'll go straight
to the committee.

Throw your career away?

Not likely.

Try me.

So that's it, huh?

I'm officially
a fucking lab rat.

You volunteered for this.

You knew there could
be consequences.

Carter.
Yeah?

Next time you do inventory,

Yeah?
get me an exercise wheel.

Yeah, sure.

Let's pack it up and go home.

Exercise wheel?
Was he serious?

FRANK : What do you think?

Hey, Lin.

Yeah.

The committee. They do know
what we've done, don't they?

Shit, Lin!

It won't matter
if we can bring him back.

I can't believe you did that!

Sarah, you have deniability,
you didn't know.

All I ask is please,
please don't fuck us.

Think she'll say anything?

No, she's in too far.

It's not her I'm worried

than the animals.

What if it starts
affecting his mind?

What if it already has?

(FLY BUZZING)

Hold still.

(MACHINE BEEPS)

Good.

So... what was it like?

What do you mean?

When you were
out in the world.

I just walked around.
You know.

Oh, yeah.
You just walked around.

Come on, there's more, right?

Like what?

(CHUCKLES)
Oh, man, if it was me?

I'd be fucking with people,
whispering in ears and shit.

I'd be hanging out
at Victoria's Secret.

I'd be the fucking king.

Kinda childish, don't you
think?

No.

Well, it was late.
I wasn't out for very long.

Did you see anybody?

There was this one girl.

Yeah?

Did you mess with her?

Don't tempt me.

Come on, guys. We're closer,
that's what counts.

Closer! He just traded
quantum energy for stability.

It's ludicrous.
MATTHEW : Come on.

You're just pissed
you didn't think of it.

Really, Matt?

Ninety-five percent?

That's not even worth my time!

Asshole.

At least now
we have some hope.

Matt. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, he's onto something,

He's on my coattails. He's been
riding them for years.

Get off your fucking pedestal.

He's trying like hell
to fix you.

Or kill me.

And you know what
the sad part about it is?

It's that I have this gift,
and I can't even use it.

So now it's a gift.

Goddamn right it's a gift.

If you weren't so
shortsighted,

you'd let me out of this cage

If you weren't so shortsighted,

Hey.

I have no fucking life.

I'm a prisoner.

No, you're not a prisoner.

Oh, yeah?

Is that what you tell yourself

Is that how you alleviate

Yeah, all night?

Are you accusing me
of something?

No, it just doesn't make

A dog dying just like that.

I know how you feel about them,
Sarah, but animals do die.

It's simply a fact of life.

That's all night.

So he never left the room.
Yeah, I guess.

I don't know, why would he
kill a dog, right?

Hello?

Go after him?

No.
We're going to the committee.

Whoa, shouldn't we wait
and talk to him?

I mean, he hasn't really
done anything.

Hasn't done anything?

He killed a dog with
his bare hands.

You were there to see that?

Look, he's been going out
there night after night

with absolute disregard
for his safety and ours.

God knows
what he's done.

I don't wanna

You guys didn't mislead

you don't have a choice.

Oh, yes, I do.

(GASPS)

(YELLING)

(GRUNTS)

(SCREAMING)

You think you're God?
I'll show you God!

Shit.

(GROANING)



(SCREAMS)

I always knew you
were a bitch!

(SCREAMS)

Bitch.

No wonder it didn't work out
between us.

(GASPING)

(GRUNTING)

Stay the fuck away from her.

(COUGHING)

Thought I'd save you
for a change.



(GRUNTING)

(SCREAMING)

Come on.
I heard an explosion.



(TIMER BEEPING)

Don't touch it!
What?

Nitro.
We gotta stop it.

No, we can't. Come on!

There's an access ladder
in the elevator.

Can you climb?

Do I have a choice?

(GRUNTS)

You go first.









Move!

Oh, shit.

Stick to the side!

It's coming back down!

Down. Go down!

(BOTH PANTING)

Holy shit.

(LAUGHING)

We better go before it slips.

Okay.



(SCREAMS)

(BOTH GRUNTING)

Matt!

Get off of me!

Get off of me!

(SCREAMING)

Matt!

(GRUNTING)
(SCREAMING)

Let go of me.

One last kiss.

For old times' sake.

Go to hell.

(SCREAMING)

Come on.

(GRUNTING)

(BOTH PANTING)

Oh, my God.

Not God.

Not anymore.



MAN :
Go, go!

MAN 2 :
Let's go!

Get the van!

MAN 3 :
Move it.

MAN 4 :
We're clear. Let's go.
