The eternal life
since the dawn of time
countless fortunes
have been spent
in its pursuit,
only to meet
with the inevitable.
What would you give
to live forever?
And be careful
what you wish for.
My experiment began
in the underground caverns
outside the ruins
of ancient Babylon.
Through some connections
with the military
I contracted
a team of mercenaries
Ied by
Captain Frank Sanders.
- We're close.
- It should be just ahead.
It?
Let's move.
They haven't a clue what
they're about to encounter.
Thermographic studies
indicate
the presence
of an advanced life form.
Stay close.
- Hey.
- You ***.
It's a haunted place.
Get her!
Get down.
Got her.
Shh shh, keep it quiet.
Keep it quiet.
Shut her up.
- Quiet.
- Shut that *** up!
Shh!
What is that?
At that moment Sanders
and the being became one
the mixing
of human blood
with that of the gods.
Now that he's captured,
the creature's D.N.A.
will be extracted,
analyzed
and catalogued
at a secure location.
Was that where I said
it was?
I've got men down,
Fibrian.
Captain Sanders said
a monster touched
I ordered that no one
would touch it.
A monster, General?
No.
It's written
in the sacred text
the uniting
of angels
with men.
Where the hell are you
gonna put it, Doctor?
This thing gets loose
it's game over.
I know just the place.
And that's Phase One.
Thus begins Phase Two.
Well, it's early,
Deborah,
but everything seems
just fine.
For the morning sickness.
- What is this?
- Reficul
makes giving birth
as easy as getting pregnant.
Oh, no.
You know how I feel about the whole
pharmaceutical thing.
Yes, I know and I want you to continue
with your organic regiment,
but supplement it
with this prescription.
Dr. Logan,
I really don't think
Uh uh uh,
doctor's orders.
Dr. Feldman, pick up
line one.
Dr. Feldman, line one.
Deborah, as long
as we've known each other,
have I ever
steered you wrong?
Okay, fine.
But I'll have you know,
this is way out
of character for me.
There.
You've been taking your
vitamin supplementation?
Yes.
I hate to bring it up,
but the baby's father...
Oh, not a matter
of discussion,
so yeah...
Deborah, I'm only thinking
of the baby.
You know, a single birth
can change the entire world.
And we're here for you
every step of the way.
Thank you.
Every experiment
requires a laboratory.
The perfect neighborhood
lawn sprinklers,
two-car garages
and 401(k)s
you never know what's
just below the surface.
Frank Sanders's ex-wife
Helen Green
has found herself
in a maze so intricate
she couldn't find her ***
with both hands.
Patience. I know.
Hello. No, she can't
come to the phone.
We're in the middle
of a birthday party.
Leave a message.
I'll be sure she gets it.
Okay, hang on.
Coldwater Cafe, right?
Wednesday, 10:00.
I will huff
and I'll puff
and I'll blow your
*** house down.
Helen!
The creature's blood
provided benefits
I'd never imagined
healing qualities that became
my fountain of youth.
Your usefulness to us
is at at end.
What would you give
for one more day of life?
- Oh, God.
- The universal question.
As a major stockholder
in Phoenix Pharmaceuticals,
Helen's knowledge
of our research
posed a threat
to the project.
And sometimes
that means
having to gobble up
their young.
Another time then.
Happy birthday.
- Let's take a ride.
- No.
- Yes.
- No!
Stephen!
Let me go.
Deborah is a fascinating
case study.
Thinking herself to be
a budding journalist,
she goes about her business
blissfully unaware
that she is but a carefully
supervised prototype.
But the programming
is wearing off
along with
the rose-colored glasses.
I will scoop her up
in a butterfly net.
Help me!
Help!
Somebody help!
The boy was next in line.
Help me!
Someone help!
The only fly in the ointment
is Detective Alex Russo
from a long line
of Russos,
a typical cop,
part of a mop-up squad,
always there
after the crimes occur.
But his never-ending search
for Melissa
could be his undoing.
Good day, Alex.
Deborah, hi.
How are you today?
- Hi, Mrs. Gamble.
- I didn't know you'd be back so soon.
I would have gotten
your mail for you.
That's okay, Mrs. Gamble.
Got it handled.
- Oh oh, Deborah.
- Yeah?
How's your mother?
She's really good,
thank you.
Good.
Hey, Mom.
Yeah, the appointment
went great.
Uh-huh.
Everything went fine.
Oh my God,
school's great.
My thesis is gonna blow the lid off
these F.D.A. creeps.
Mm, one of my sources
is this woman from
Phoenix Pharmaceuticals.
I think we really
hit it off.
Yes, Mommy,
I'm fine.
The baby is fine.
The F.D.A. is corrupt.
Everything is
where it should be.
All right, Mom,
I gotta go.
I gotta go, Mommy.
Okay, I'll talk to you later.
Kisses. Bye.
Speak of the devil.
Dr. Logan?
Mommy!
Daddy!
One, two, three, four,
five, six, seven, eight.
Push me on the swing,
Daddy.
I'll push the swing later.
I promise.
Come on, baby.
Love you, Mommy.
Love you, Daddy.
Edgewater.
Here comes the Kitty Kitty.
Kitty wants
to play with you.
Meow.
Pull my bow.
That's right.
Oh, you've been a bad boy
today, honey, huh?
I'm gonna have to
punish you.
Mm, bad.
Oh, is this your girl?
You could say that.
I could say
whatever I want.
Mm, yeah.
This better be good.
All right,
I'll be right there.
I gotta go.
- Go?
- Yes.
Oh, give me a spankie
for the road.
One more.
Gosh, you're so hot.
It wasn't
my call.
- Hey, Alex.
- What's up?
The call came in
around 5:00.
5:00? I was right
around the corner.
The blood
comes up green.
Someone comes
through the door...
Mr. Green's
on the phone there...
The happy family
never stood a chance.
It's an ancient
Hebrew warning
"Know your place."
They're back.
Hey, Detective, paramedics took
the parents
over to County Medical,
but there's no sign of the boy.
They took him
like they took Melissa.
Hey, Russo, where is your little
Limey friend when you need him, huh?
We would have never decoded this
if it wasn't for Arends.
***.
That looks like
a bunch of gang graffiti
if you ask me.
Wrong.
When are you gonna let go
of that conspiracy crap, huh, Russo?
About the time you wipe that frosting
off your chin.
Hey, Professor Colbert,
got a minute?
Oh, no.
No no no,
not so fast.
Something's rotten
at Edgewater, Professor.
Deborah,
don't go there.
You and I both know they contribute
a large percentage
of this university's
annual budget.
The almighty dollar, huh?
What, are you on the payroll too,
Professor?
All you have are unsubstantiated claims
bordering on slander.
Okay, look,
if you can get me in there,
I swear I can get us
the story of the millennium.
You've got to get me in there. Otherwise
they're not gonna give me the time of day.
I need hard facts,
solid research.
Oh, okay, you want
hard facts.
How about 1967,
a C.I.A.-sponsored experiment
known as Project Often
toxicology,
transmission
and behavioral effects
of drugs tested on-- I'm sorry, what?
Human subjects.
If you so much as accuse Edgewater
of human test trials
Please. Researchers paralyzed
64 Edgewater inmates
using a neurological compound
called cesanyl choline
which suppresses breathing,
Doctor.
It's like drowning.
How about 1981
when they tested cloinen on elderly
patients. Why would they do that?
I'm sure the list
is endless, Miss Fielding,
but I'm afraid
if you had your way
people would still be
dying of smallpox
- or polio.
- Wow.
I took you for
a serious journalist,
and here you are with
all this Area 51 crap.
Creative Writing's
on the third floor.
I'm late for a lecture unless you have
something else.
Yeah.
And Reficul is?
A replacement
for spinal epidurals
during childbirth.
- A maternity drug?
- Mm-hmm.
Why would
Edgewater want?
I don't know,
but Edgewater's patients
are a "Who's Who?"
of government PhDs
and linguists
and experts in fields ranging
from molecular biology
to unarmed combat.
And yet Reficul is listed
as a pregnancy drug
in its l.P.O. statement.
- God.
- Yeah.
That guy look pregnant
to you?
Where did you get
this disk?
Don't tell me it's that woman from
Phoenix Pharmaceuticals.
Deborah, you can't use stolen material
as evidence.
Look,
what's going on here
is nothing more
than neural cosmetology
plastic surgery
for the brain.
Ask for
Dr. Neil Fibrian.
Mention Reficul
and Captain
Frank Sanders.
Come on. Please please please
please please.
All right.
Go on, get out of here.
Thank you.
You are an amazing
human being.
Miss Crandall,
get me Edgewater.
If I give you
a shot of this,
with your body weight,
it will kill you dead.
So I'm gonna
give you a break,
you mutt.
I'm gonna give you
a break.
I'm gonna let it
go in through your skin.
Your skin's as smooth
as a baby's ***.
There you go.
Yeah.
That's right.
You are really something.
You are the heir apparent,
aren't you?
But you're not.
You're the stepbrother.
We're gonna
take your daddy
and chop him up
and sell him by the pound.
Oh, yeah, we are.
There you go.
Yeah, fear.
It's all fear.
How do you feel
about coulrophobia?
Hmm?
How do you feel
about clowns?
The minute man stood
on his hind legs
he was terrified.
We've been living
with that every since.
We gotta shed light
into the darkness
of ignorance
and abuse.
When I was at that
crime scene
it smelled
like sulphur.
Sulphur, eh?
Then it really should
take the game up.
The only game I'm good at
is drinking.
You know,
Iife can't be all
theological essays,
archeological digs
and ancient code-cracking
any more than your life
can be.
Bring on
the usual suspects.
What's wrong?
Upsetting?
Can we get to the point,
please?
More lessons
on the Ancient Hebrew.
Another child missing,
I presume?
You know, it took me weeks
to find out
what this ancient text
really meant.
I doubt if there are
10 souls on earth
who would know
those symbols.
The text is from
the Chiseled Tomb
of the Nephilim
angels gone bad,
a rather
unsavory lot
who bedded
all the women
and produced
a new race of men.
And you believe
in this crap?
Do you?
You smelled sulphur.
In any event,
Nephilim owners today
would be a nigh
unstoppable force.
So I should watch
my back?
And your step.
And, Alex,
give up the Scotch.
Seems the long-standing feud
between my loyal attack dog
Barro and Russo
is finally coming
to a head.
Leaving so soon, Russo?
A coward dies many times
before his death.
*** you, Barro.
The valiant die but once.
From soldier to
Edgewater patient
on to Gordian Labs C.E.O.,
Frank Sanders's rise
was meteoric.
But his ego is
eating him alive.
I am gonna flip
this mutt.
Thank you for joining me
today, gentlemen.
Hold on, please.
Colbert knows
about Reficul.
What?
We should have killed the boy.
According to you,
bringing Deborah here
was necessary for us.
"Us"?
What do you mean, "us"?
Don't speak.
I'm back.
Gordian Labs
stands at the forefront
of pharmaceutical
innovation.
With our l.P.O.
going public tomorrow,
coupled with Reficul's
F.D.A. approval
in less than two weeks
our wonder drug
will hit the marketplace
between New York
and Beijing.
Our investors
reap the benefits
of 20 years' worth
of Gordian Labs' R&D.
Thank you.
Listen to me.
Going public now
will attract...
too much ***
attention.
Oh, that hurt.
You need me.
We need each other.
I'm the one that extracted the D.N.A.
from the creature.
Without me
there's no Reficul.
Know your place, Doctor,
Iest your precious
fountain of youth
may suddenly run dry.
- You want it?
- Yes.
Thank you.
By the way,
Deborah's smarter
than you realize.
Let's hope not,
for your sake.
You are so pathetic.
Your days are numbered,
buster.
Hi, honey.
I was just tidying up.
Hi, Mrs. Gamble.
How are you?
I'm okay.
Oh, your face looks
so drawn, Deborah.
Have you lost weight?
No.
You know, I told
your mother and father
I would take great care
of you, Deborah.
Oh, good.
I'm sorry,
how did you get in here?
Oh, you left
the door unlocked.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Wow.
Okay,
I don't mean
to rush you off,
but I've really got
to get some stuff done.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Okay, all right.
- Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye.
- There you go, sweetheart.
- Thanks.
You're doing
such a good job.
You're not my mother.
Hey, you've reached Deborah.
Leave a message
and I'll call you back.
Hey, Deborah.
It's Professor Colbert.
I spoke with Dr. Fibrian
and mentioned Frank Sanders
and, well, he said
he'd make room for you
on his schedule.
Thank you.
Deborah,
it's Dr. Logan.
You missed
our 4:00 again.
I thought we agreed
we would meet once a week,
for the baby.
Call me to reschedule.
I haven't heard
from you.
Are you okay?
Have you been taking
your pills?
You stay
the hell away from me.
Deborah, I'm only
thinking of the baby.
Yeah, I'll bet.
Listen,
I know who you are.
I know
what you did to me.
And I'm gonna go
do something about it.
Oh, Mrs. Gamble,
you should have checked
the mail, yeah.
She came to
maybe 20 minutes ago,
just heard
her son's missing,
mentioned Edgewater
a few times.
- Thanks.
- You got it.
Mr. Green,
I'm Detective Russo.
My wife's not ready
to see anyone right now.
I'm here to help you
find your son, Mr. Green.
Who are you meeting
at 10:00 at Coldwater Cafe?
I don't know.
She's a friend of my wife's.
She called when
the door blew open.
"Know your place."
Whoever took your son
also took a little girl
16 years ago.
We don't know anything
about that.
Reficul.
Remember that.
Lower.
What do you need now?
You, me, a moonlit beach,
margaritas.
Gonna take more
convincing than that.
Do me a favor,
pull up Reficul
and tell me
what you get.
Gordian Labs
to offer l.P.O.
Their drug Reficul is
getting the F.D.A. nod.
Phoenix lndustries is doing
their stage testing.
Oh, I read about this
a pill that replaces
the epidural.
Do me a favor,
print that up for me.
Okay.
There is no "us."
There's only me.
This boy is like
a fat worm on a fishhook
makes one hell
of a lure.
Stephen, where do you think
you're going?
All right, guys,
get over here.
Let's get this ***
over with.
Let's get out of here!
- Daddy.
- Sweetheart.
Oh, please.
Oh, please be okay.
Oh, please.
Oh, please
be okay.
Oh my God, I'm sorry.
Opening these files
this isn't gonna bring
your Dad back, Alex.
Your father was
a great cop.
And this thing
that you have
with the Edge
it's getting
in the way
of you moving
up the ranks.
I'm touched
by your concern.
Russo, get in here.
Keep this *** up
and Hummel gets the case.
"1989, on Edgewater grounds
without a warrant
1990, harassment,
stopping employees' cars
for questioning."
And the list
goes on and on.
Let's get
one thing straight
this town gets all
the government subsidies
it applies for.
Every school
has new computers.
Not a pothole
on the road.
And all our wage requests
are greenlit.
A kid is missing.
The M.O. matches
the Sanders girl kidnapping to a tee.
Are you gonna tell me
this has nothing to do with your old man?
My dad went into the Edge
and came out in a bag.
The F.B.I. investigation
proved
Proved nothing.
A little girl goes missing,
my father killed
in the line of duty,
and both of them were just so neatly
swept under the rug.
You know why you're still a lieutenant
after 14 years?
'Cause you just can't
leave well enough alone.
But at least we have
new computers, right, Captain?
Get the hell out of
my office, Russo.
We're gonna need backup, Alex.
Call it in.
We're out
of our jurisdiction.
They took the girl.
A man commits a crime on your watch
you are the jurisdiction.
You got that?
- Yes, sir.
- Come on, son.
Hey, let's go.
Okay.
Russo.
Okay, I'll be
right there.
- You couldn't keep him isolated?
- Don't look at me.
We called as soon as we could.
His folks are down the hallway.
Hey, Russo, you look like
yesterday's meatloaf.
I feel like it too.
- I need to speak to your son.
- No no, Detective.
We have Stephen back now
and we just want to move on.
Who are you meeting
at Coldwater Cafe at 10:00 AM?
Tell me what I need to know
to shut Edgewater down.
You be careful what you wish for,
Detective.
Hey, Russo...
We got the woman
who found the kid.
We found this in her car.
What do you suppose she's got against...
Edgewater?
I'm Detective Alex Russo.
What's your business
at Edgewater?
I'm sorry,
is this what I get
for being
a good Samaritan?
I bring an injured kid
to the hospital
I go to jail.
You know, if I'm not
charged with anything
you can't hold me.
Where did you get the information in this
manuscript, Miss Fielding?
I don't divulge
my sources.
Is that so?
A little F.Y.I.
I can lock you up
for 72 hours
just for ***
and giggles.
Wow.
So much for "protect
and serve," huh?
I got it from a woman
at Phoenix Pharmaceuticals.
What do you care?
I'm here to help you,
Miss Fielding.
I'm on your side.
Really?
And what side
would that be exactly?
Did you say
"Alex Russo"?
So you're Detective
Michael Russo's kid.
Do you want to tell me what happened
to your dad
or would you like me
to do it?
The door!
You know what?
Walk away.
That's fine.
I'm a little too much woman
for you anyway.
Love a man
in a uniform.
I'll be here.
- Hey, Tammy.
- Yeah?
Give me a background check
on Deborah Fielding, please.
Okay.
Bishop County Sheriff's office.
Parsons here.
Uh-huh.
I see.
I'll take care
of the girl.
You make sure Russo
stays out of the way.
And be blunt.
You follow?
Mm-hmm.
The crime scene
at the Green home
begs the question
what is the connection
between
Phoenix Pharmaceuticals,
Gordian Labs,
Edgewater's development
of Reficul
and Helen Green?
Could Phoenix be nothing more than
a dummy corporation
tucked away
in a hidden room?
Oh, what a tangled web
we weave.
You're getting warmer,
Detective.
You're good.
You're free to go.
Thank you.
- Gail.
- Hey.
Hey, was there a lady in here,
maybe in her 50s
- looking for someone?
- No.
About 15 minutes ago, though,
there was a young girl,
20-ish, blonde, pretty.
She just left.
She
I could be 20-ish,
blonde and pretty.
Salaam, Russo.
You just freed a key witness
in a kidnapping.
Did you hold the door open
for her too, Captain?
Now why on earth would
a man in my position
want to hinder a journalist's
First Amendment rights?
How many potholes are you gonna have
filled on this one,
huh, Captain?
You have no idea
what you're up against.
I know one thing this case just fell
under my jurisdiction.
And if Edgewater
cut you any checks
you'd better
get to the bank.
- Russo.
- What?
What's wrong?
I'm done with this place.
I quit.
Okay, well, look, I ran the backgrounds
on Deborah Fielding
F.B.I., lnterpol
everything.
Nothing comes up.
It's like she doesn't exist.
She's a ghost.
It's the Greens'
statement on the attack.
Thanks.
Where's Russo?
I'm supposed to give him
this lab work for
the Green investigation.
Oh, I'll take care
of that. Good job.
- Can I have your name, please?
- Deborah Fielding.
Oh, Miss Fielding,
we've been expecting you.
Proceed through the gate.
This is all about
meditation and sanity
as opposed to delusion.
All right, who wants
to finish this?
You want
to finish it?
Okay, Norm,
you are delusional.
No eating the clay.
If you finish this right
I'm gonna let you go home.
He's gonna go home.
Okay,
go ahead, Norm.
It's all yours.
- You're lost?
- I don't know.
- Maybe I can help.
- Maybe you can.
Are you Deborah Fielding?
I am.
Allow me
to introduce myself
No, I know who you are,
Dr. Fibrian.
How?
Well, I've read pretty much every article
you've ever done
on higher brain function
and the effects
of neurological drugs
on patients with compromised
immune systems.
- I'm flattered.
- Okay.
- It's a little embarrassing.
- Oh.
Buon giorno.
You're an investigative
journalist, aren't you?
- Of sorts.
- Yeah.
Andiamo.
Please.
This is our
reception area.
I love that perfume
you're wearing.
They're gonna have to
check your jacket and bag.
You know,
I just did a workshop
on digging up
the dirt, yes.
Psychiatric hospitals
are not the house of horrors
that most visitors imagine,
I'll tell you that.
Well, you could have
fooled me.
How so?
Avery, is my
docket clear?
Your schedule's
clear, Neil.
Let me see.
Good good.
Would you like
some tea?
- Sure. Why not?
- Good.
Make sure, Avery, that Naomi
takes her medicine, all right?
- I'll see to it.
- Thank you very much. Follow me.
- Your tea.
- Thank you.
- Tea to your liking?
- It's perfect, thank you.
I usually bring guests
to my office first,
but I thought
we'd tour the ward.
Doctor, do you mind if I record
our conversation?
Dr. Neil Fibrian,
Director of
Psychiatric Medicine,
Chief of Staff at Edgewater
Psychiatric Hospital,
Bishop County,
California.
How's that?
- That was very good.
- Good.
- Your professor...
- Colbert.
Yeah, Colbert, he called me
about your visit.
He said it's something
about Reficul.
Well, it's just one
of a long list of drugs
being engineered here,
isn't it, Doctor?
Is this gonna be an interrogation,
Miss Fielding?
Are you gonna deny
that Edgewater
is an incubator for
government drug design?
Have it your way.
Interrogation it is.
Deny it?
I revel in it.
Every drug on the market,
prescription or otherwise,
eventually gets government funding
in its development.
And what exactly do you mean
by the word "development"?
- What do you think I mean?
- I don't know. You tell me.
Wouldn't you agree that
the creation of a drug
for the better
of mankind as a whole
that all means
should be explored
in the advancement
of the human genome?
Oh, please.
I'm sure that every
mad scientist has used
the exact same rationalization
in their work.
How sophomoric of you.
I'm sorry?
I can assure you that nothing
that happens at Edgewater
could be construed
as mad.
Yeah, listen,
I'd like to show you
another part
of the ward.
Basta.
Listen, your professor
told me
of a Captain
Frank Sanders.
Who is Frank Sanders
to you, Miss Fielding?
Are you feeling all right,
Miss Fielding?
Fine.
Now about Edgewater.
When we're done with the tour
you'll know everything.
So I'm not gonna be allowed
to see your patients?
I wouldn't say that.
You were coming here
expecting to find
straitjackets and rubber rooms,
weren't you?
But you know what?
I think it's something
far more personal.
Wasn't it?
There's no place
like home.
Dr. Fibrian!
Dr. Fibrian.
Why are you
doing this to me?
Oh, God.
Hello.
Hi, this is
Detective Russo
with the Bishop County Police Department.
Do you have a student
- by the name of Deborah Fielding?
- Yes.
I'm just going over
some names across my desk.
I was hoping
we could meet.
Is there
anything wrong?
It's in regards
to Edgewater.
Yes yes,
that would be fine.
Come on by.
- Hello?
- Hello?
- Hello?
- Hello?
Goodbye, Doctor.
I'm Detective Russo with the Bishop
County Police Department.
Now why on earth would we
need detectives here in Bishop?
You'd be surprised,
Miss...
Oh, I'm Mrs. Gamble.
You know, as good as things are going
here in Bishop,
someday soon we won't need
detectives here at all.
Is this Deborah Fielding's
apartment?
OH, yes, this is
her apartment.
Is she okay?
I just need to take
a quick look around.
I get my *** kicked
by Betsey Crocker.
Mrs. Gamble the watcher,
you've outlived
your usefulness.
Know your place.
A girl
after my own heart.
When a child dissects a frog
for his biology class,
would any sane,
rational person say
that this exercise could be construed
as evil?
Feeding time, eh, Doctor?
Yes yes yes yes.
It feels her,
wants her.
Yeah, like a spider
devouring its young.
It's not what it was
when it came to earth.
Nor am l.
You're the ears.
You're the eyes.
You're the link
the link.
There it is.
What are you up to,
Doctor?
Okay.
Thank you.
Oh, yes.
Ahh.
Feels like everything's
unraveling, doesn't it?
Doesn't it?
Yeah yeah.
By the way,
how does Deborah
know your name?
You tell me.
Miss Fielding,
are you with us?
Miss Fielding,
Miss Fielding,
are you with us?
Hello?
You don't mind
if I tape our conversation?
I thought
we might start with
why are you here?
If I don't answer, are you gonna
shock me again
Iike you did
Katherine Sanders?
Oh, God.
You don't mind if I call you Deborah,
do you?
Sure.
Let's be friends.
I'll take a cup of drugged tea
with two sugars.
Why are you here,
Deborah?
Stick it up your--
Oh, God.
You're pregnant,
young lady.
I suggest that you
protect your fetus.
Tell me
your business here.
Convince me you're not
the F.D.A.,
so mired in their own
bureaucracy,
it takes them a year
just to pass gas.
You're here why?
I'm here
for the truth.
The truth?
Would you like to know
the truth about your mother?
How about that?
She lives
just outside of Bishop.
See, see,
I don't have a mother.
And my father's not a
what do you have in there?
A bank supervisor?
He was brought here
for treatment.
And you want me to think that that's
where I grew up,
but that's not
my house.
And I don't know the woman
in that photograph.
And I'm not the baby
in that photograph.
Oh, God.
So whose file
do you have there, Doc?
Why don't we
switch places?
Eine zigarette, bitte.
You received a package.
What was in it?
Girl Scout cookies.
As much as I dislike
other people's pain...
A disk.
- A disk?
- Yeah.
What happened to you when you saw
what was on that disk?
Did your life pass
in front of your eyes,
Deborah Fielding?
I'm not
Deborah Fielding.
You're right.
You're not Deborah Fielding.
She was a patient of mine.
She had a flesh-eating
bacteria on her eyes.
I had to slice
her eyelids off
and record her sleep deprivation
for the military
in pursuit of my
Mad Scientist's degree.
It was so bad
I wanted to commit suicide,
but I did not want
to suffer
the humiliation
of autopsy.
When your mother calls
do you feel the need
to pick up the photo album
that you keep
beside your bed,
similar to this one
perhaps?
You know 15 languages,
in fact.
You know how much time
we invested in you,
all for the advancement
of the human genome?
Let me ask you something.
This the answer, please.
People are gonna come
looking for me.
They are.
Why are you here?
Oh, please please,
stay away from me.
Oh, God.
You came to me,
Deborah.
Don't call me that.
What did you do to me,
you psychotic
piece of ***?
Let me ask you
something.
Who is Captain
Frank Sanders to you?
Hmm?
What is he to you?
He's my father.
So he is.
But it isn't your love for him
that brought you back, is it?
No.
I had to know
the truth.
He stole you
from your mother,
brought you to me.
I created you
with his blessing.
He gave you up to it,
flesh of his flesh,
blood
of his blood.
How can a father
do such a thing?
You hate him,
don't you?
Know your place.
What will you do
when you see him
again, Melissa?
What will you do?
Kill him.
Russo.
Russo, thank God. I've had
a *** of a time trying to reach you.
- Go ahead.
- You won't believe this
remember that green
blood sample I showed you?
- Yeah.
- It's blood,
human blood.
- Stay with me on this one.
- I'm here.
The blood sample I took
is infected.
It's D.N.A. sequence's been overwritten
by something that mimics a virus.
So the guy's sick.
Whatever it is replicates at a rate
faster than H.I.V.
Mental capabilities,
physical strength
everything that makes us who we are
gets radically changed.
A new race of men.
Yeah, but instead of happening
over the next couple hundred years,
it could be overnight.
Thanks, Dennis.
Got a 187 reported
at Bishop College
a Professor Richard Colbert.
All units respond.
Copy that.
- Hello?
- Tammy, are you sitting down?
I am now.
I've waited
15 years for this.
Deborah Fielding
is Melissa Sanders.
Sanders is slowly
piecing together the puzzle.
He and the creature's
usefulness are at an end.
Fortunately,
in their treatments
I thought ahead and implanted a time lock
in their D.N.A.,
making them weak
and helpless,
their fates
so intertwined.
It was you all along.
You sent the package
to Deborah.
You altered her D.N.A.
What did you have to gain
from this, Doctor?
You exposed us
to a great deal of danger.
You cannot catch
a falling knife.
Your Gordian Laboratories
l.P.O. is in the crapper
because of your greed
and your vanity.
Oops.
You know what?
You are numero freakin' zero.
Deborah's
all alone now.
All she has is me.
Do you understand?
Melissa is awakening
to the fact
that her entire life
has been
but a carefully scripted
illusion,
complete with
fake parents,
false memories
and artificial
surroundings.
Nephilim.
Who's there?
We don't want
any visitors right now.
Open the door, Mr. Green.
I need to speak
to your son.
Detective...
It's not a request.
Who is it, Marcus?
Helen Green...
How can I help you?
...or is it
Sharon Sanders?
Excuse me?
I need the truth.
I never stopped looking
for your daughter.
When did you?
My daughter?
That's why you didn't
want to see me
at the hospital
that night.
That's why your husband
mentioned Reficul,
hoping that
I could do something.
I don't know what
you're talking about.
Stop the ***,
Mrs. Green.
The handwriting
is identical.
- That doesn't prove anything.
- You greenlit their testing.
They took Melissa and both of you were
under their thumbs.
- That's enough. Get out.
- It's not enough!
I didn't hurt Melissa!
You knew it was
a bad drug
and you
gave it a pass.
They made me.
I wanted
to expose them.
You have no idea
what they can do.
She's been
through enough.
And so has my son.
They haven't done anything
to deserve this.
It only takes one person
to start a chain reaction.
Double a penny
a day.
Would you rather have
a million dollars
or double a penny
every day for a month?
It's just a penny, right?
One becomes two.
Two becomes four.
At the end of a month
you have
1.3 billion pennies
in 31 days.
There's a garbage chute.
It's behind the hospital.
There are trees stretching
over the fence.
You shouldn't
go back there.
I just love
a good family reunion.
All the world is a stage,
Melissa.
Let's see how you
play dead, sweetheart.
- Dad.
- Melissa, behind you.
Get him.
En garde!
I'm coming
to get you, Russo.
You ready
for round two, esse?
It's all been lies.
Come to Papa.
You're mine.
You're mine.
You're mine.
Honey.
We have to
get out of here.
We're in danger.
Remember?
No matter
how far apart we are,
in our hearts
we'll always be together.
I love you.
I love you too, Daddy.
Daddy?
Daddy.
We have to go.
You hate him, don't you?
What will you do when you see him
again, Melissa?
What will you do?
Know your place.
We have to go.
Ah, like father like son.
Hmm? Yeah.
Officer, did you
ask yourself--
why did I take
Stephen Green,
the brother?
What could be revealed
that's been hidden
behind these walls
for decades?
An immortal...
that can slice
your throat
right here right now.
Oh, yes.
For what?
For you.
For Melissa.
Oh, yeah.
For happy ever after.
I was talking to God
just the other day
and He said to me that people be
like lemmings,
throwing themselves
off cliffs,
Ianding on
the rocks below,
the screaming foam
that cannot die.
Are you okay?
Sad news today in Bishop
Frank Sanders,
the CEO of Gordian Labs
was found dead of an apparent
self-inflicted stab wound.
The police are investigating,
but at this time
no foul play
is suspected.
This comes at a critical time
for Gordian Labs,
as they await
their initial lPO.
We'll have more
on the story at 11:00.
Baby.
Hi, Mom.
Thank you.
Hi.
Every experiment
requires a laboratory.
The perfect neighborhood
lawn sprinklers,
two-car garages
and 401(k)s
you never know what's
just below the surface.
How are y'all doing?
It's a real scorcher, ain't it?
- Sure is.
- There you go.
Yeah, it's a real
scorcher.
Love is a dog from hell.
And so the experiment
continues.
On to Phase Three
Reficul,
extracting it
like pollen,
Iike killer bees.
And who do I meet
at the other end?
Someone like me.
"Reficul" spelled
backwards is...
Oh, go back to sleep.
