Professor.

(person breathing)

(dramatic music)

(upbeat music)

(vehicle whirring)

(person grunting)

(fists banging)

You are this close to making it personal.

When do you leave town?

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow, just let me get my stuff.

Tonight.

(person grunting)

Say the hell away from me, you're crazy.

(gentle music)

[Speaker 2] Miss Elliot, you got something from me.

You're getting sloppy, look at you.

But I delivered.

You were late.

And when you are late, I don't get paid,

when I don't get paid, Dan and Roo don't get paid.

And when Dan and Ru don't get paid, they get cranky

and believe me, Augusta, you don't want to see Dan

and Roo get cranky, so don't be late.

That wasn't my fault.

Snakes don't blame their prey if they can't eat,

they just wither and die.

And I have other hunters.

I always deliver.

Sentimentality doesn't make good business Augusta.

So what are we to do?

What are we to do?

You must have something for me.

It's half the usual rate.

Half?

Choose your battles.

Just be grateful of the opportunity to redeem yourself.

I thought you rich people were more open for business.

We're really not.

(dramatic music)

Can you settle a mystery for me?

A mystery.

Is it possible to love if you're broken?

Wow, that went deep pretty quick.

(person breathing)

[Speaker 3] Do you want me to go?

[Speaker 4] There's some salad in the fridge.

You might find a clean fork.

[Speaker 5] Judge Bark states that you still refuse

to take the initial settlement offer.

Ideals are correct Miss, but they don't pay rent or debts.

There is an entire legal that's amassed enough evidence

to show that your accident

was due to your personal negligence.

A refusal to follow health and safety protocol,

to be frank, you'll be lucky

they don't in fact counter suit.

If they do that, you'll be drowning

in debt for the rest of your life.

Let me remind you to be more philosophical

about the cuts and scrapes of life and less emotional.

That's why Judge Barn threw your case out of the court.

It's me, I'll do it.

I'll be there by dusk.

(vehicle whirring)

A man called Senca and extract

all available data

that concerns an experimental pharmaceutical compound.

It might not be what you think it is.

Look out for tapes, punch cards and floppy discs.

He's quite old fashioned.

Make sure you are in and out quick.

His rooms hold eerie echoes.

Good luck.

[Speaker 6] Elliot, I got her, I haven't had a look yet.

Okay.

(person running)

We're safe now,

they didn't find what they were looking for.

Less smart than you.

You are dehydrated, drink.

(gentle music)

You looking for this, it's my property.

Hope you don't mind my retrieving of it.

Who the hell are you?

My name is Professor Senca.

Okay, Professor, give it back.

You took a remarkable beating out there.

Who do you think saved your life in the tunnels?

I'd love to hear your theory.

(person breathing)

Calm yourself, for your own health.

I mean you no harm, quite the contrary in fact,

believe you, me.

And I don't care, that tape is worth a lot to me.

You have no idea what you're involved in,

nor what is happening to you.

Do you notice anything else unusual

beyond the stresses of physical violence?

[Speaker 2] I'm all good.

Well, the cut on your finger my dear is bad news.

And your quest or profit has led you

into a situation beyond your control.

We have something other than blood

running in both our veins.

Something ancient,

something magnificent, something dangerous.

That dead guy, you turned him into fertilizer.

Not me, but that's our destiny

if you don't do something about it.

Me, do something.

The nerve, just whatever you've done so far,

just do that now.

I can't, those men took everything.

I'm a fugitive

and I'm too weak to leave this place now anyways.

Life can be so limiting.

Sometimes, drink, you'll need it.

We both want the same thing.

We both need the same thing.

Whoever sent you for this wants you dead.

But the solution to your problem is on here.

I'm here now, I'm listening.

(person breathing)

The cure is on the tape.

(upbeat music)

[Speaker 7] And how can I help you?

I'm just looking around.

[Speaker 7] This is an exclusive shop,

do you have a membership card?

I forgot.

Shit.

Is that any way to greet an old friend?

You should know.

Great, now I'm gonna be harassed at work, huh?

I need your help.

I love how you only ever come and see me

when you need something.

That's not fair.

Hey, you're getting slow.

Or wait, the guy's really fast.

You are chaos Augusta.

Remember the last rabbit hole you dragged me down?

That wasn't my fault.

It never is.

Have you any idea how long it took for my knee to heal?

Hey, how much money did you earn from that rabbit hole?

This is different.

It's not about the money, but think I'm in trouble.

Real trouble.

Is this supposed to convince me,

I'm gonna regret this aren't I?

(sirens whirring)

So you don't have a tape recorder.

I can't make sense of it.

Why do you think I can?

Because you have more skills than I have unpaid bills.

(gentle music)

See you're still doing needle work.

Formulae, mathematical equations.

Exotic esoteric processes.

The Gynostemma produces a beneficial compound.

Ginsenoside, which is rare in any other plat.

This compound promotes high energy levels.

Man is something that should be overcome.

Well said old friend.

From the relic of the death mask

to a contemporary living device,

Gynostemma embarks on a journey

culminating in new technology to design

and fabricate adaptive, responsive interfaces.

What is it?

Not sure, might be a coded formula.

But it's a cure, right?

It's more than that.

Wait, cure for what exactly?

Bio-engineers have failed

to create these code Xes since the sixties.

That is gene coating the likes I've never seen before.

Okay, smart ass.

This is decades ahead

of what biochemists are trying to do with eternal life.

It's a life altering serum

that changes DNA as easy as you change your hair.

Okay, why didn't you start with that, hair color?

Screw you out ass hat.

Professor Senca sounded like he was onto something.

He is.

You met him, Augusta, you know how I really,

really disliked you keeping secrets from me?

Yeah, well don't worry, you'll survive.

And you, I need some air.

If there was anyone else I could turn to, I would.

Get it, maybe we should turn the table to the police.

Then I'm dead.

I saw a dead body.

It was covered in flowers and moss

and I don't know what it was but something tells me

that that'll be me

if we don't find out what's on that tape.

You need some rest.

(gentle music)

(wind whooshing)

Morning, good morning, how you?

(upbeat music)

Yeah, the usual.

(vehicle whirring)

I solved your riddle while you got your horse back.

Seriously.

Let's just say Senca secrets are now mine.

How bad is it?

I don't know what's troubling you,

but I have a pretty good idea why Senca gave you the tapes.

Listening to it and I was right,

it's a coded message after all,

there are clear instructions

on how to recreate what the professor calls Geino OA.

And how would that help me?

I don't know, but I'm pretty sure it's linked

to what happens to you right now.

So he wants me to bring him the compound.

Well, yes, there's a missing ingredient.

Nothing I can magic up I'm afraid.

I need raw material.

I need a source for the mutagen.

I'm sure the professor has given me.

A man in his early 100s.

The compound is encoded in the DNA, according to the tape

Senca has an ancestor, probably his granddaughter,

who knows?

She works in the swamp district and this is her address.

Impressive.

If what I suspect is true,

her blood contains the necessary mutagens

to recreate the serum.

Go and get me some.

Be simple with someone of your talents.

I hope you're right.

Not your concern, and we need to talk now.

Do you know what's wrong with you?

I'm dying.

You don't know that for certain.

Yes I do.

Tell me.

This condition, I was born with it.

So how are you still alive?

Every year they send me an antidote.

From who?

An exclusive medical practice.

No name, no address, but always seem to find me.

Whenever I try to learn more, I'm warned off.

Well, it's not worth my life.

What's changed?

This year, nothing, I'm overdue.

And the infection, it's worsening.

I don't have to be Einstein to work out what happens next.

I'm gonna need your blood.

I got it.

Excellent, any trouble?

[Speaker 8] Who's there?

I got it mom.

Nothing I couldn't handle.

I didn't doubt it for a moment.

You can do this, right?

What the?

It's fascinating.

That was me da Vinci, what am I becoming?

Whatever's in your blood is altering your biochemistry.

It's gotta be a defense mechanism of some kind.

Something tells me we need to be quick.

(pole whirring)

(cars beeping)

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

(finger squelching)

Promise.

You don't understand.

Anything like this happening to you?

I'm not sure.

There is something else, it could work.

(upbeat music)

(footsteps walking)

(person sighing)

I can't explain what that is.

But it looks like a mutative plant mixed with human DNA.

(gentle music)

The plant is as oldest time.

It's a myth among explorers and historians,

a floral version of Nessy if you like.

Gynostemma, the herb of imortals, you say cut you.

(object whirring)

I've seen something like this before.

Senca's house.

Why does it jump like an eel?

Can you do something with this?

Yes and no.

But neither one of those before the mutation happened.

Senca.

(audience clapping)

(gentle music)

(person breathing)

(person grunting)

(person screaming)

The infection, it's worsening.

Don't have to be Einstein to work out what happens next.

(birds chirping)

[Speaker 9] Sweet, sweet Esme.

(thunder whirring)

You're still alive.

That makes two of us, how's that I wonder?

You're the genius, you work it out.

You found a way to synthesize the serum.

I'm working on it.

A little help would be useful.

It's a messy business Augusta.

You have to trust me on this.

The other players in this game

are willing to kill all who stand in that way.

You mean Elliot?

Is she your girlfriend or something?

We have to part ways.

Tell me about this serum you're splashing together.

We've got the blood of your granddaughter.

Sweet, sweet Esme.

My only child.

You can't fight biological corruption with more corruption.

It's a recipe for unadulterated chaos.

There is another way.

Where there's a will, there's always a way dearest.

With your Frankenstein flower?

No, humanity's not ready yet.

Professor, where can I find it?

Everything I said is in your possession.

Elliot, I'm sure has it locked away in her dungeons.

No.

There's only one place that fits that criteria.

Her sanctum of curiosities.

(upbeat music)

(cars beeping)

[Speaker 3] Yeah.

I have a job for you.

[Speaker 3] I'm kind of busy.

Not anymore, this is a chance for redemption.

Now listen very, very careful.

Yo-Yo, I'm on my way.

[Speaker 2] Same, I think I means followed da Vinci

Right, you're good at giving others the slip.

You do that.

I'll do the hard work.

(upbeat music)

(machine whirring)

(machine beeping)

(gentle music)

The dragon's lair.

What's your connection to Senca, Isla Elliot?

Damn.

She knows his philosophy.

She's likely the only one of significance who does.

My father taught me to think like his opponents

and use their abilities against them.

[Speaker 4] The simplicity projects the complexity.

People just think too much.

Man, something that should be overcome.

Friedrich Nietzsche, can it really be that simple?

(dramatic music)

[Speaker 10] Stand back.

[Speaker 3] I'll even leg it if you want me to.

[Speaker 10] Give up, there's no winning here

Lady, I'm the broke fuck who lives with his mom,

who just extracted the last of your lovely flowers,

I'm already winning, darling.

Now you can get to work.

(footsteps walking)

(gentle music)

These kinds of situations are normally easy or painful.

This looks like it's going to be painful.

(rain pouring)

[Speaker] This plant is a corruption in nature itself,

you made it into a concentrating.

Absolutely, and let's not confuse corruption

with selected evolution.

(birds chirping)

After all these years, I am ready.

(footsteps walking)

(gentle music)

You're dying.

The devil, not allowed an easy exit.

You can't die.

I'm afraid it's too late for me and your friend but,

I managed to synthesize the serum

and you only need this one shot.

Elliot is expecting you Augusta.

No silly ideas.

Silly ideas and no one lives.

(dramatic music)

[Speaker 4] A little bird told me

you've got something I want.

And let me tell you, I have something you want.

(door whirring)

(footsteps walking)

She did warn you.

(fists banging)

(dramatic music)

(people grunting)

Guts in or guts out?

(gentle music)

(whirring)

(person grunting)

Guts out.

(door banging)

(gentle music)

(person sighing)

(body cracking)

Roo, I know you're there Augusta.

(footsteps walking)

My men were overzealous,

Unfortunately he wasn't strong enough

and then you were late.

The stakes were huge Augusta, only you understand

you are 08 could be worth to the world.

You could be a protector for the city.

You could help people.

Sure sounds great, how much?

Senca was a monster,

a grand mix of the insane and the impossible.

When Senca was exposed to the spores

of the Gynostemma plant, it blessed him with endless help.

His immune system was boosted, limitless.

Only three decades later did he and his companion Kaya

use compound the I named Gino eight for themselves.

It made them immortal, but only shot to shot.

You see, Senca wanted to be gone.

He wanted to decide which humans

needed to be fixed, who moved to the next level

to create generation of God-like beings.

He was planning genocide.

Trying to change nature

is the worst sort of pride and arrogance.

What's in it for you?

I'm a business woman.

Kidnapping, torture, murder.

All in a stiff dress.

You just let people die

that couldn't afford your fancy serum.

Was out for being ordinary Augusta,

you only got a glimpse of what Gino eight can do for you.

Everything you can imagine and so many you can't.

You see, killing me, won't alter the path, Gino eight.

Keeping you alive won't either.

You really worked hard on your glass speech,

shame it was so useless.

Some people are just so ordinary

there's nothing you can do about it.
