[SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING]

Hey, sweetie. We'’re home.

CARL: It'’s about time you showed up.

Surprised to see me?

Told you I could find you anywhere.

Just leave us be, Carl, please.

How many times do I have to beat it through that thick little head of yours?

The only way you'’re leaving me is in a body bag.

Carl, don'’t do this.

The children.Will forget all about you.

Who the hell are you?

Leave the woman alone.

[GRUNTS]

[GROWLS]

Call the police. They'’ll help you from here.

I will.

REPORTER: ...Slade himself was convicted last month

in the brutal killing of two government protected witnesses.

Slade.

Yeah. They think the government'’s gonna offer him a deal

to testify against those four federal agents, his, uh,"co-conspirators."

Yeah.

Man, he is one ugly guy.

Just glad he'’s off the street.

When I see Slade now, he looks positively primitive

compared to you, Gore.

[CHUCKLING]

Gore... is magnificent.

[THEME MUSIC PLAYING]

MAN ON TV: Bombs raid upon the metropolitan center in a relentless downpour.

A deluge of death might have dawned.

The death toll, including men, women and children, has climbed into the hundreds of thousands.

They'’ve decided to send a powerful message to the enemy.

General, sir.Shh.

MAN ON TV: Followed by air command'’s strategic bombing campaign,

the war will continue to rage,

bringing death and suffering to friend and foe alike but free more...

Good old days.

You'’re watching

the War Channel, with your host, Cassius Johnson.

We'’ll see you next time.

SOLDIER: Ah, sir. I believe I have some bad news.

Have you been watching anything just a little more current, sir?

What are you talking about?

Our little problem sir, Operation Invincible.

Our, watch shall we call it, sir, mistake.

Doctor Madden'’s mistake you mean.

His screw-up.

Not ours.

Yes, well, the doctor'’s"screw-up" has been apprehended

and offered a deal to testify against four federal agents.

If he does, sir, they will tie Slade to us in a heartbeat.

No civilian authority is allowed to know of our presence.

And there will be no testimony from our... Dr. Madden'’s folly.

Yes, sir. Well, how do we stop it, sir?

He is in police custody.

We get him out of police custody.

Bulletin from Madden. Operation Recall is ready.

[CHUCKLES] Oh. Well, that'’s a very lucky break, sir.

[SHOUTS] Oh, you call it luck?

No, sir.

Been driving Madden round the clock

ever since his so-called "super soldier" malfunctioned.

DADE: The agency'’s breathing down my neck.

when the agency'’s doing that,I think the agency'’s gonna be impressed

You can rest assured that they'’re...You can rest assured...

that the agency is going to love this.

Colonel Dade. This is Gore.

He'’s a magnificent achievement.

Gore is magnificent.

His hearing is extremely acute,

along with everything else.

Why is he smiling?

I concentrated on his physical perfection

so his personality and speech modules aren'’t fully programmed.

But they'’re capable of learning quickly.

At the moment, Gore is rather child-like in those two areas

with what one might call a "pleasing disposition."

Agency is looking for deadly force, doctor.

If this is another one of your screw-ups,

I can assure you that there is nothing wrong with Gore.

He'’s absolutely ruthless.

Gore is ruthless.

[GROWLS]

This is very unsettling, doctor.

Colonel,

isn'’t it more effective to have someone who can...

insinuate himself into a situation graciously?

Before he wreaks havoc and kills?

I don'’t think the general's gonna like this, doctor.

I don'’t think the general's gonna like it at all.

[SIREN WAILS]

SLADE: Hey, Red. Did you come to bail me out?

COP: Come on, Slade.

GORE: Excuse me.

You look, just...

[PUNCHES THUDDING]

Thank you. Have a nice day.

Hey, you.

Let'’s see a visitor's pass. How'’d you get in the building, huh?

Let'’s see some ID.

[GASPING]

Who are you?

What'’s your relationship to the man you'’re following?

Evil twin.

I smell bacon. [SNIFFS]

Or something like pork product.

[GRUNTS]

COP: Come on.

Get off me.

That'’s my bike.

Look, I'’m telling you, I know what my bike sounds like.

That'’s my bike.

SLADE: There he is now! Look at that geek.

Hey. That guy looks like...

Wait. No way!

Oh, no!

[YELLS]

Fire bad.

Briony, the guy almost snapped your neck, at least...

wait until they'’ve checked the X-rays.

They better hurry. We got to find that psychotic clone before it'’s too late.

Clone?

It'’s the spookiest thing I'’ve ever seen.

It wasn'’t just a look-alike for Slade, it was Slade.

Except, Slade was there.

Now two cops are dead because I didn'’t react fast enough.

You can'’t blame yourself.

He'’s gonna pay for this.

X-ray'’s negative, right, doc? Good, thanks, see ya.

More than one Slade? Did you ever get any sense of that?

Super Zero.

You'’re out of business, Slade.

Oh, I don'’t know. I'’m pretty well-connected.

I say you'’re disconnected.

She might be right.

There was something weird about Slade'’s connections with the government.

A government program involving clones.

Like we need one more Slade.

How do you know there'’s only one more?

What do you mean, shut down the program?

I came through just like I promised. X2 eliminated X1.

Killing policemen was not what we asked for.

The officers drew weapons.

Gore'’s designed to protect himself.

And if this were a war zone instead of the United States of America,

we could bury it.

[CHUCKLING]

But here we have to cut our losses.

Beginning with Mr. Magnificent.

What are you saying?

That Gore needs to be retired.

Retired?Deactivated.

Terminated.

No, no. You can'’t. You can'’t do this.

Close the door, will you, now?

Yes, sir.

MADDEN: Looks like we'’ll be going away for a while, my magnificent one.

GORE: Away. Away?

I know this is the only home you'’ve ever known but...

killing those police officers has gotten us into a little trouble.

Gore come first.

Yes, I taught you the first law of survival, but people live by other laws.

Doctor no mention no laws.

That'’s because you're designed to function in time of war under combat conditions.

Never mind. I'’ll explain it all to you once we'’re safely away.

But first, there are some things we'’ll need.

Things?

Money. We'’ll need a lot of it to keep one step ahead of these very powerful people.

Where do we get this... "money"?

That should be easy.

This country owes me.

And you, my magnificent one,

are gonna make it possible for me to collect.

No problem.

No problem.

No problem.

MADDEN: It'’s called an automatic teller.

GORE: Automatic teller.

It'’s full of money.

Money, money! Money good.

We'’re going to make a withdrawal.

With your strength, that should be no trouble at all.

No trouble at all.

You'’ll be lucky if you aren'’t court-martialled.

Not only have you turned a second time bomb loose in the city,

you sent its damn creator and maintenance man out with him.

That'’s very interesting, general.

If it comes down to court-martial, do you really want it known

that you could'’ve detained the doctor,

instead of trusting him to voluntarily destroy his life'’s work?

Just find them. Bring them back.

Dead or alive, sir?

Don'’t ask stupid questions.

Money.

Huh? Aw, squeegee guy.

No! No!

Squeegee guy, beat it!

Aw. Squeegee guy, no!

I don'’t want it. Beat it. Just get out of here!

Money good.

[MACHINE BEEPING]

Just scram, would ya?

I hate squeegee guys.

No problem.

Money, no problem.

Ladies.

Money, no problem.

Oh, dude, can I have some?

No... no problem.

No problem.

[TYPING]

BRIONY: Okay, let'’s see what your digital enhancer program can do

with the license number on that SUV parked across the street.

You got it.

Is that the guy that attacked you in the stairwell?

BRIONY: Oh, yeah.

It does look just like Slade.

RALEIGH: Yeah, now I know why you need it.

How close to the... oh, they'’re going the other way.

Wait, wait, wait. Right there.

Let'’s see what we can do with this front bumper.

[TYPING]

Voila.

[CHUCKLES] That'’s fantastic.

BELLBOY: Doctor Madden, the presidential suite.Oh.

Surely you'’ll find it's everything that you need.

We have a lovely view of the city as you can see,

as well as a quite beautiful fire. If you don'’t mind I'’ll put it on for you.

Upstairs, we'’ve got two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a lovely jacuzzi.

MADDEN: Fantastic...

Oh... yeah.

Yes!

The champagne, it'’s on the house, naturally.

Ah. Well, yes.

Ah. Oh. [CHUCKLES]

The house channel over here...

has previews of all of our guest services

including the gym and our masseuses.

Masseuses?As well as recommended local events,

sporting and entertainment.

Oh.

Thank you very much, young man.

It'’s... no more than I deserve.

Oh.

Well, thank you very much, sir.

No problem.

Have a nice day.

Oh, better than that. I intend to have a very nice life.

You are magnificent.

Gore is magnificent.

That'’s what I'm gonna call you from now on. Mr. Magnificent.

Mr. Magnificent.

"Gore" is a name for war zones,

and we'’re no longer in that business.

From now on, we live like kings.

We travel first class, you and I.

I should'’ve started thinking about myself years ago.

Now that... is something I could really get into.

TV ANNOUNCER: Among the most beautiful women in the world,

Marla is one of the world'’s top models,

appearing tonight in Mr. Dion'’s fashion show at Bay City'’s House of Soul.

Why shouldn'’t I have something like that in my life?

Even a genius doctor needs a woman.

Woman.

TV ANNOUNCER: You can see why Marla is styled

"Marla the magnificent."Marla'’s magnificent.

Gore'’s magnificent.

I'’ve gone without fun,

twenty-two years, making projects like you a reality for an ungrateful world.

Well...

it'’s time for a few rewards.

Oh, yeah.

GORE: Oh, yeah.

BRIONY: Caught where?

Yeah, it'’s on the LoJack program.

Okay, good. Put the locator on and feed it to me in the car.

Oh, and...

send out two back-up units for me.

Yeah.

Well, truck is leased to a "Doctor Royce Madden,"

care of The Center for Biotechnologies.

From what I recall, part of their research involves cloning technology.

There'’s your government connection.

Which darkens the odds.

Maybe not.

That bank job didn'’t exactly look like an authorized operation to me.

Which means the second clone is probably as dangerous as the first.

Yeah, well, Slade II, or whatever his twin calls himself,

is about to get nailed.

I'’m outta here.

RALEIGH: Hold up. If you need any more help...

Thanks, covered.

Or... any extra backup.

Yeah.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

MADDEN: Gore, my magnificent one, why aren'’t you answering me?

I'’m ordering down for room service. How many raw steaks would...

you...

MARLA: He'’s got one of the most creative minds on the planet.

I mean look at these clothes. They'’re fabulous...

Oh, my God.

But I'’m having a great time here, everyone'’s just marvelous...

I'’ll pick up the vehicle location off the police scanner and get there before she does.

Okay, I'’ve got to get downstairs for that charity event, but keep me posted.

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

[ELECTRONIC MUSIC PLAYING]

WOMAN: Would you like to donate to our cause, sir?

Money?

Money, no problem.

Thank you.

[WOMAN LAUGHS IN SURPRISE]

Genius doctor...

need...

women.

Women.

Hey, man, hey, man,

Galencia, Galencia...

Get our out there. I want her out there now.

Why am I paying her money if she'’s not out there selling my clothes?

Never mind...Is everything okay?

It'’s an absolute disaster. A nuclear holocaust.

Absolute scorched Earth.

Whoa, whoa. What'’s the matter? Can I help?

No need to panic, darling, it'’s always a disaster...

Have you ever considered modeling?

Me? No. No.

Oh, you should. You have a certain quality.

Kind of intellectual virility. [CHUCKLES]

A kind of iron fist and pelvic pants.

[GIGGLES] A sort of "Je ne sais quoi."

Quoi.[LAUGHS]

[STAMMERING] You know, I'’d love to...

but I, um, I'’m expecting a... a call from a girlfriend.

Excuse me.

No need to be like that I was just saying a nice thing... [GASPS]

Marla the magnificent. Where is Marla?

Oh, you must be the foreign model they sent over for Marla.

Gore, latest model. X2.

Whatever. Come with me, darling, you'’re late. Let's go.

Move. This way, darling.

Marla.

In the door, this way.Marla.

Marla.

Now, Marla'’s due on the ramp next.

Your outfit is right over here.

Uh, take off your clothes.

[LAUGHS NERVOUSLY]

[DION GASPS]

Oh, my God. What happened to his face?

This.

Where the hell is my escort?

Do you know my escort or can you get on the phone and call somebody...What?

Marla.

Me, Marla. You, escort?

Take my arm. We'’re on.

What... Oh, my... Hey! Hey! Wait!

What are you doing? Put me down!

Somebody help!

They'’re kidnapping Marla!

People! Hello! What do I have to do to get some attention around here?

[SCREAMS]

Would you please...

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

[APPLAUSE]

[MARLA SCREAMS]

I knew I'’d find you here. Are you out of your mind?

Gore got doctor'’s women.

[CHUCKLES]

Slade?

Slade?

I Gore. Not Slade. Slade bad.

Gore magnificent.

Put the ladies down.

Ladies mine.

Put them down, Gore, defend yourself.

Gore like ladies. Gore keep ladies.

Don'’t be an imbecile, Gore, he'’ll kill you.

What mean imbecile?

JOHNNY: You'’re about to find out.

Fight? [CHUCKLES]

Good. Gore like to fight.

Okay, fight.

Fight good. Fight. Fight.

[SQUEALING]

You good fighter. Gore good fighter. We be friends.

I love fight.

More fighting. Good fighter.

Gore'’s magnificent.

JOHNNY: Gore, I can'’t be your friend.

But I know it'’s not your fault.

What not my fault?

[CLANGS]

JOHNNY: You'’re a machine, Gore.

Yes, Gore is magnificent.

Right, magnificent. But your think-center is screwed-up.

You'’re criminally insane.

This is a bad thing?

Yeah.

It'’s Dr. Madden's fault.

He made you.

[GRUNTS]

Doctor good. Gore doctor'’s friend.

No say bad things about Doctor.

No, no... no say bad things about Doctor.

[BIRDS CHIRPING]

Birds.

Let go of me!

I'’m here to help you, let'’s go.

No, you'’re not.

Freak!

Wait!

[SIRENS WAILING]

Gore, get out of there. The police are coming.

Good game. Play more later.

His name is Night Man.

Oh, a good name.

Night Man good fighter.

Night Man be Gore friend.

Don'’t talk like an imbecile. Night Man is not your friend.

What means imbecile?

I'’ll explain later.

In the meantime, Gore must stop slipping into his civilian charm mode

when the situation calls for his war mode.

You must be imposing, threatening, angry. [GROWLS] Like that.

[GROWLS]

Yeah. Put on your war face, your war face, like that.

[BOTH GROWLING]

Gore be angry.

[EXCLAIMS]

Doctor want women?

Not now. We must first secure our safety.

I now know how they found us.

It'’s time to get a new car.

First, the animal tears me off, then the other one charges me.

The other one?

With the mask and cape.

Really? Full length or opera?

Excuse me.

What'’s she doing?

Thank them.

You sure you'’re okay?

Yeah, but remind me not to try that again.

Yeah.

BRIONY: Hey, guys.Hey.

Hey.That was great.

Thanks.

So, uh, did you find the spook in the SUV?

Mm-mm, found the truck abandoned at a used car lot.

Tough night, huh?

Well, we follow it halfway across the city and then wind up back here in the alley.

RALEIGH: At least you cleared up one thing.

This super soldier trying to abduct two of the world'’s top models?

That is definitely a rolled operation.

Yeah, but you'’re not up against Uncle Sam.

I wouldn'’t be so sure. They were there tonight.

Meaning?

Watching.

Why would they risk being spotted?

Well, if the doctor and his buddy are into bank robbery,

kidnapping and murder doesn'’t make sense.

Right.

Killing Slade was the first step in the cover-up.

Apparently, they'’ll go to any lengths to bury this.

And if this "Gore" and his creator have turned,

they'’ll have to bury them too.

RALEIGH: Maybe that'’s a good thing. Let them clean up their own mess.

I have some trouble with that.

There are two dead cops that deserve some justice.

[PHONE RINGING]

Branca.

Yeah.

Good, okay. Thanks for the update.

The owner of that used car lot, out of bed.

At least now we know what they'’re driving.

A Corvette convertible.

Gore like car.

Yes, well, fortunately, it'’ll be tucked away here for the night.

Where'’s the valet?

Hey, can we get a valet, please?

What'’s the matter? What'’s going on?

Now listen to me, Gore. Listen, listen. Gore, Gore, listen.

Beginning tomorrow, you'’ll have to start obeying me.

To stay ahead of the law and the army, we have to take better care of our profile.

Gore'’s profile.

What'’s going on?Magnificent.

He'’s on his way, sir. Right now.

What... no, Gore, come back, you fool!

You can'’t drive around the city in that car, ya...

Kids.

[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING]

[DOORBELL RINGING]

Who is it?

GORE: Mr. and Mrs. Magnificent!

Ta-da!

Oh, my God! This is unthinkable.

Well, this is not good.

When I said I wanted a woman, I wanted a consenting woman.

Doctor, don'’t be upset.

I brought one for you.

Pretty.

That'’s the housekeeping lady.

That'’s a supermodel you got there. How could you be such an imbecile?

What means imbecile?

An imbecile means... imbecile... imbecile means...

that Gore is the most advanced man on the planet.

That'’s why we must protect him by leaving them and getting out of here!

You said we'’d have fun.

Gore having fun now.

No, Gore. No, please. No. Stop. Stop, Gore. Gore must stop.

Listen. Listen. Gore, Gore. We'’ll have fun, yeah? We'’ll have fun.

Fun good. But... But that car you were driving around in,

they'’re looking for it.

If it was spotted, they could be coming for us right now.

So listen, listen.

Unless you want your life to end as quickly as it began,

you got to trust me.

We can take the girl.

No we can'’t take the girl![GRUNTS]

Okay, okay. We take the girl. We take the girl.

But first... but first, but first, Gore must recharge.

Gore recharge while I look for alternative transportation.

GORE: Recharge? Recharge.

Branca.

Okay, nobody moves till I get there.

We may have a hostage situation.

Yup.

What'’s up?

A night maid at the Corington Hotel,

called in to report seeing a big guy carrying a woman up the steps.

She recognized the woman. Marla. Later.

See ya.

Here we go again.

Gore want Marla.

Yeah, yeah, you and every heterosexual male on the planet.

But I'’m warning you, I'’m very high maintenance.

Gore too. Three days maintenance every month.

Hey, hey, throttle back there, big guy.

You ever hear of foreplay?

No.

You'’re a real wit.

I need a cigarette. Do you smoke?

Only when I malfunction.

Are you Italian by any chance?

Because you remind me of Tony Britany in Milan.

So headstrong and such an animal.

[GROWLS]

Gore want Marla.

[MARLA SCREAMS]

Marla! Marla!

Gore?

Where are you?

Never mind her.

We'’ve got to get out of here.

I just saw army agents downstairs.

Gore'’s in love.

Well, yes, that'’s very romantic but we really should be leaving.

Now!

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

Stop! Or I'’ll shoot.

JOHNNY: I wouldn'’t do that.

[YELLS]

[SHOUTS] Good work, soldier!

MADDEN: When I said that suite was the last place on earth they'’d look for us,

I was wrong. There'’s a better place.

Gore should not run. Gore should fight.

Don'’t be an imbecile.

We'’re running because you kidnapped a supermodel.

A great, big powerhouse like you lets a wuss like him call you an imbecile?

Imbecile means most advanced man on the planet.

[LAUGHS] Imbecile means "mindless fool."

Look, we'’re here.

MARLA: This is where you were...

Born.

Created.

This look familiar?

Upgrades?

And I thought Dr. Gethner was the best party man in the world.

My work is never really dull.

[GLASS SHATTERING]

Night Man.

Hi, Gore.

Night Man Gore'’s friend.

Good fighter.

We'’ve met.

MADDEN: He'’s here to destroy you, Gore.

Your orders are to kill him.

Night Man Gore'’s friend.

Good fighter.

That'’s it. I've had it.

I'’m disabling your personality module.

From now on, you'’re a pure killer.

There'’s your target. Attack!

[GROWLING]

MADDEN: This is why I hate fair fights.

The outcome is never predictable.

[SIGHS] Oh, well.

Presenting this year'’s models.

MADDEN: This creature is here to destroy you.

Kill him.

[GROWLING]

Hey, nope, no, no, don'’t hurt me, I'm fine.

Going someplace, Madden?

Ah... General, you'’re just in time.

I'’m not your enemy, he is!

[GENERAL LAUGHS]

Sorry, doc.

My battle plan has always been... "Kill '’em all,

and let God sort out the good from the bad."

Do it.

COP: Freeze! Police!

What...

Police, drop your weapons.

Drop your weapons. Now!

I said drop it.

JOHNNY: I'’d listen to her if I were you.

[EXHALES IN RELIEF]

No, no, no, you can'’t. This is my work. No, no, you can'’t!

Night Man. Night Man. You'’re making a horrible mistake.

This is my lab. I'’m a man of science.

Night Man!

Night Man... Gore'’s friend.

I would'’ve liked that.

It'’s not your fault the way you were programmed.

Gore...

is magnificent.

Yes. Gore... magnificent.
