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.

(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.

(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 an IV ofAG-7.
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)

Oh, fuck what you meant!

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

Just stopped by to let you know
I'm going out for a little while.
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.

Hey, doc.
I haven't seen you in a while.

Work, work, work.

because your car hadn't moved.
Aw, thanks a lot, Ed. But everything's cool.

If you're saying you want us

Don't you think we're overreacting here?
I don't give a rat's ass if we are.
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!

What if it starts affecting his mind?
What if it already has?

What do you mean?
When you were out in the world.
I just walked around. You know.

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?
No. Oh.
Well, maybe I scared her a little.

MATTHEW : Lin, remember the B and C? I think I found it.
Fifty-five percent reversion.
That's the best we've gotten yet.

We've got it.
No, it's slowing down.
Be an optimist. It's slowing down.

Ninety-three percent.

Cellular bonds are collapsing.
Full quantum cascade at 95 percent. Fuck.
Some breakthrough.
If I were on a table right now, I'd be
a steaming pile of flesh.
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.
(DOGS BARKING, MONKEYS SCREECHING)
SEBASTIAN: What?
You're a fucking moron. What the hell is your problem?
Matt is onto something, and he could use your help.
(SCOFFS) Matt. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, he's onto something, all right.
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 to explore it.
If you weren't so shortsighted, you'd be out there with us
trying to save your goddamn life.
Hey.
My life?
I have no fucking life.
I'm a prisoner.
No, you're not a prisoner.
Oh, yeah?
Is that what you tell yourself when you leave here at night?
Is that how you alleviate your guilt
when I'm stuck in this shithole,
and you're at home...

What bothers you most?
That you don't have a life...

Notice anything unusual last night?
No, nothing at all. Why?
Franklin lll.
He's dead.
So?
So I thought maybe you heard something.
I was asleep.
Yeah, all night?
Are you accusing me of something?
No, it just doesn't make sense, does it?
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?
Sebastian.

So, what do we do now? 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 think about it.
How much trouble are we in?
You guys didn't mislead the committee.
Matt and I will take full responsibility.
What do we do when he comes back?
Nothing. We're gonna follow procedure.
Then wait for the committee to put security into place
We'll brief you tomorrow morning.

You two go back to the lab. We'll handle Sebastian.
Is there anything that we can do in the meantime?
You might think about clearing out your offices.

CARTER : What are you talking about?
He knew we were gonna turn him in.
He knew... that his career would be over,
and his only way out is to make sure
that no one knows what he is...
or what he's done.
Which means he's gotta get rid of us.
