Where the hell's that doctor? She's ten minutes late.

Relax. She'll be here.

We're wasting time.

I should have kept that blood and done this myself.

Why is it that every time you take matters into your own hands, you screw

things up?

You've made enough enemies around here. People don't trust you.

Why? Because of Greg's death?

I didn't have any time. Stop!

You know, you can't go around taking people out just because you feel

threatened. Who are you kidding, Miller?

You'd have done the same thing yourself.

It's about time you got here.

Have you finished with your tests?

Where did you get this blood?

Never mind where we got it. What's the problem?

This.

It's an extra chromosome.

That means it's not human.

Who cares?

Is it diseased?

You know, there's been a lot of speculation about the origin of this

blood.

Well, you know better than to, um, believe these kinds of rumors, don't

you, Doctor?

We'll find out eventually.

It's your job to tell us if the blood is diseased.

Nothing more.

Is this all that's left of the blood?

Where the hell's the rest of it?

That's all we have.

There's nothing left for us.

I have to warn you.

If you should use it on anyone, the body's immune system will treat it like

an infection.

The subject's blood will putrefy into a pus-like fluid.

The body will swell up like a balloon.

There'll be vomiting and fever.

And the result will be a horrifying death.

Well, that's not a very pretty picture, is it, Doctor?

I assure you, we are doing nothing out of line. You've dragged your feet on

this long enough, Doctor. How long does it take to get an answer?

I can't tell you that.

I'm going as fast as I can.

You'll have to excuse us, Doctor, but we're all under a lot of pressure here.

We need an answer.

I'll try to get it done by... next week.

But I can't promise.

I'm not waiting another week. Why don't I just take the blood? Because I'm not

going to let you. Your hands are tied until she signs off.

Nobody ties my hands.

I'll spend most of my life looking for this blood.

I'm not waiting. No, you're going to follow our game plan. Because if you

don't, you're going to take a hard look at what we're doing here, and I don't

want anyone reviewing us yet.

Drag both of our careers down.

And just so you know, I'm not going to let that happen. Are you very clear on

that?

You worry too much.

Butler?

You okay?

What are you looking at?

Get out of here!

Yes, sir.

Butler, what is this shape-changing wrap?

Forget how great it could have gone if the dog pop had done the same thing.

We're wolves.

Butler!

What the hell's going on here?

Leave it off.

The light hurts my eyes.

What did you do with the blood?

You took it, didn't you?

Of course I did.

There's nothing left. You took the last of it.

Now we'll have lots of blood to work with.

Right here.

In me.

Why, you idiot, you could have died.

But I didn't.

Did I?

Have the doctors look at that. I don't need anybody looking at it.

It's working.

It's changing.

My senses are so keen.

I can hear Dr. Taylor and Dr. Barnes making fun about our

trip to Budapest.

Get to the infirmary now.

Damn you, Millie. You're not even listening to me.

I can hear your heartbeat.

It's going a little fast, isn't it?

Getting nervous?

I don't scare that easily.

You stink of fear. I can smell it.

Look at you.

All your muscles wound up tight, ready to save your ass.

You know what I feel like?

Like killing.

You're being very stupid, Butler.

We still don't understand what we're dealing with. I'm taking back what was

lost through millions of years of evolution.

I'll be a new kind of warrior, changing shape at will.

I'll have the instincts of an animal and the brain of a man.

I'm terminating this right now.

You'll never terminate this project.

Watch me.

I'm gonna live forever, Miller.

Mr. Butler, you startled me.

Are you okay?

Michelle!

Oh, my God.

What happened?

Butler. Oh, shh.

Come on.

Calm down. It's all right. Come on.

Everything's going to be just fine.

What the hell's going on?

Michelle?

What happened?

Butler.

Son of a bitch.

Butler, you son of a bitch.

This thing is out of control, Butler.

Butler?

Wash the bodies carefully and take them to cryonics. I want them in the freezers

immediately. You have to go to autopsy, sir.

That's standard procedure.

No.

Yes, sir.

They should be incinerated. That way there won't be any evidence.

No, I can't do that. I think we're just going to put everything on hold for a

while. We need to find a way to control the process, maybe even enhance it.

Okay, then we need to do a full prep. Do you want to replace the blood with

glycol before they're frozen?

No, it's too dangerous. If the bullets get dislodged, I'll hell break loose.

Mr. Miller?

How's the girl?

She's still sleeping.

Good. I'll send a medivac unit down to get her out of here.

How are you doing?

I'll survive.

I'm sorry you had to see all of this, Dr. Barnes.

It's created a lot of problems for us. Unfortunately, you're going to have to

surrender all of your records. Everything associated with this program

has to be destroyed.

You can't destroy all this.

We need our records to... I don't have time to argue with you. Dr. Barnes,

please show Agent Berger to your office.

When you're through, send her body down to cryonics with the others.

Hmm.

This little experiment just gets more and more interesting, doesn't it?

I'm sorry, my friend, but you were getting a little out of hand.

And this intermission will give us both time to work out the wrinkles, so to

speak.

Yeah. Where are you?

You said you'd be here over an hour ago.

Oh, you know, I'm right in the middle of something. Have Roger sit in for me.

Roger always loses.

I do not.

I'm playing pool.

Besides, I need you here for good luck.

Oh, come on, Anna.

Take a break and have some fun.

Anna, I need you down here.

It's high stakes.

I need your money.

Guys, I have to go. Count me out, all right? Talk to you later.

Stop chasing that girl and concentrate on the game. Get the message.

Deep down, I know she really likes me.

She sure has a funny way of showing it. I like telling you to take a hike. The

only thing that matters to her is that substitute's skin.

Five-card stud.

Suicide game's wild.

Oh. We missed you last night.

It was a great game.

I was trying to time.

Larry won $15 from General Hammond. Oh.

He didn't take it too well.

Well, you know how he gets when he loses to an NCO.

That's initially Larry.

Here. Thank you.

So how's it going?

Oh, I started electric.

These first specimens hardened again.

This one I'm still waiting on. What do you think?

It's still hard to believe it's made of metal and synthetic tissue.

It's been stable for about three hours now.

Well, if you can keep it that way, a lot of cancer victims will be very grateful.

I don't know what else to do.

I think maybe I'm just too close to it.

Well,

to add to our problems, we've got to deal with the new so-called expert

Washington.

I've never heard of him.

There's nothing about him in any reference manual.

And on top of that, we don't know a thing about his research.

All the right reasons for them to send him to work with us.

Well, if he can help, then we can move on to animal testing.

Think of the burn victims, people with skin cancer.

We'd be able to graft whole areas of the body.

So Washington has put me in charge of the program, and I am personally

responsible for keeping it funded.

Ah, sorry.

Roger. Oh, sorry, sir.

I feel it's time we start human testing.

Excuse me, Colonel, that doesn't make sense.

We're still having a lot of problems.

I know.

I've monitored your work for the past five years.

I know all of your successes and all of your failures.

But I feel you're ready to move on.

We still can't control the hardening process.

We've never been able to keep it stable. Sometimes it works, but sometimes we end

up with skin as hard as steel.

I'm well aware of that.

If that were to happen, it would kill the subject.

Which brings up the question of volunteers.

Well, we won't be using volunteers.

Not in the usual sense. What are you planning on using?

Frozen cadavers.

Cadavers? Are you nuts?

The cryonics team at Fort Meade has rehydrated outer skin tissue. They have

kept it alive for months on a grid of polyglactic acid.

Their work fits perfectly into yours.

But how's that going to advance our work?

Synthetic tissue is not the same as rehydrated frozen tissue.

What we're doing here is creating living skin from metal and tissue.

I am merging the two programs. All the support, that is, in those folders

there, along with your new orders.

What if we say no?

Oh, I don't think you want to do that.

Why not?

Well, because I'll cut your funding.

That's outrageous, Colonel.

Where do you get off coming down here and disrupting our work?

Look, either you cooperate or I will just simply take your research, give it

to all those nice folks at Fort Meade, and they can take all the credit.

Well, do I have your cooperation?

Yes.

You're full of cooperation?

General?

I'll deliver the first cadaver sometime next week.

Why are you all so glum?

You're scientists.

Isn't this how you people have fun?

Well, Donald, it's time for you to rise from the dead.

There have been some unusual developments these past 20 years.

These so-called scientists don't even know it, but they're going to give you a

skin steal.

You'll be indestructible and under my control.

What's he saying? He's a little upset.

Do you understand me?

I will not work here until it's sprinkled with holy water.

Wait, holy water?

That means we're going to be eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

again. I don't blame him. I'd be upset too. This is ridiculous.

Thank you.

I have a feeling we're getting off to a bad start.

I think you've been out of practical medicine for too long.

All right, have Debbie run a complete pathology test on the tissue and a

molecular model of the hair, okay?

Okay.

Thanks.

I don't know where that body came from.

What if it was used for germ warfare experiments?

Hmm? I mean, the last thing we need is to contract some kind of exotic disease.

It has a clean bill of health. It came from the cryonics lab in Langley,

Virginia.

Germ warfare is done at Plum Island in New York.

I'm not lifting a finger until I have all the paperwork.

Ah, well, then you're in luck.

Because here it is.

Come on, Colonel.

You're going to have to do better than this. This file is inadequate.

This cadaver has VIP written all over it. There isn't a clue as to who he is

or where he came from.

Ah, well, medically, it's clean.

For all I know, it could be somebody else's records.

I don't want to work on them.

No problem here, Dr. Eric.

Except for the one you're creating.

I don't like it.

It makes me feel uneasy.

What are you afraid of?

I said I was uneasy.

There's a difference.

You're putting us under a lot of pressure.

Well, you're the expert in freeze-dried tissue. You could do this with your eyes

closed.

Why don't you start on this one, and I'll see what I can do about getting you

a fresher specimen.

Please.

There's adrenaline in the cells.

Died violently.

Mm-hmm. It looks like a heart attack.

Take a look at this.

I analyzed six samples.

All of them were consistent.

Your subject consumed high amounts of raw meat.

The striations show high levels of saturated fats, cholesterol, tannin, and

sulfites.

It looks like he was a very self-indulgent person.

What happened to the hair follicles?

It went through some sort of molecular disarray just before the subject died.

I haven't a clue.

Its whole structure was reformed.

But I did find something that was interesting.

I found a piece of dirt embedded in the hair platelet.

I traced this down to silt deposits along the Danube River.

Which part?

Somewhere near Budapest.

And if you think that's interesting... I tried cross-referencing the numbers on

his file.

I was denied access.

That means they do know who he is.

Exactly. We can still find out.

All you need to do is bring me his fingerprints.

I'll run them through the FBI computer.

Great. I'll get them right to you.

Decision time, Deb.

You know, personally, I think this Miller guy's doing us a favor.

I'm getting a little tired of the same old stuff.

I don't really care what we use it on.

Come on, it's $4 to you.

Ugh, I fold.

Well, Miller's results are impressive, and I can't find an error in his

theories, but I still don't like the guy.

He's too rich for my blood.

Well, I'm up for a review.

Could mean another star and a raise, so don't start with him.

I'll see you in rave.

Hmm.

It could be exciting.

You trying to bluff me with that hand?

Put your cards on the table.

Full house.

Jacks and tens.

Ooh.

Royal flush.

Oh.

I knew it. She beat you. What are you going to do to win a hand around here?

Mine, baby. Yes.

Obviously somebody's cheating here. Somebody's cheating here.

Thank you for playing.

Yeah, yeah, have fun.

Beginning resection.

Skin tissue removed.

Philip, you set?

It's a set.

Ready with the next section of biopsy.

I think an acid bath.

In position.

Roger. What's the body temperature?

54... 54 degrees.

Hand me the positive plate, please.

94 volts.

Reduce it to 90 so it doesn't harden.

Hopefully.

What's the difference? He's a stiff.

It's very good, Larry. You're set at 90.

Surge your laser up.

Laser's up.

I have a positive charge over the graph site.

Cauterizing one.

Cauterizing two.

Roger. Laser's down.

Resection complete.

If the Colonel's plan works, he will cut two years off the program.

We'll know in four hours.

I can't believe we got peanut butter and jelly for lunch.

You know, I don't know about you three, but this food situation has gotten way

out of hand.

I didn't think he was serious, but... Why don't we just put some water into a

bottle and give it to him?

I tried that. He busted me.

He busted you?

But I did try.

It's bad enough having Colonel Miller hanging over our shoulder.

Yeah, I can't handle that either. That and trying to eat leftovers.

Always thinking about food.

Will you two please stop it? We are trying to concentrate.

Calipers?

I think you better check this out.

What's the matter?

I'm reading inorganic material on the sternum.

That doesn't make any sense.

Come take a look.

Enhance it.

Why didn't you tell me about this before? I just noticed it.

Yeah.

I'm terminating an experiment.

We got another problem.

Your body temperature's rising. It's up seven degrees.

What's the metabolic process?

It's above room level.

Anna, he's starting to bleed.

Eighty-four degrees!

Shut the pumps.

I can't believe this.

I'm not touching it.

I'm reading 90 degrees here.

sending us a body with bullets in it.

Silver bullets.

I have the slightest idea what you're talking about.

Don't f*** me, Colonel. That cadaver didn't just fall out of the sky.

Well, let's hope not.

You know what I mean.

Leslie, you know everything that I know about this program.

Don't call me Leslie.

How can you act so cool about this?

The question is, where do we go from here?

We are trying to understand what happened.

What if he regains consciousness?

That's impossible. His brain's been dead for years. Okay, fine, fine, but what

if? Then we have no right to experiment on him. It's too late. He's already

covered in bioferrin. What do we do, take it off?

People, may I remind you that technically it doesn't exist?

But he does exist.

Well, it has no memory, no identity.

Well, it's an it.

No, he is a human being, and you're telling us to work on him against his

will. What will?

Doctor, isn't this what you've always wanted, a living subject?

That's immoral, Colonel.

Morality has nothing to do with this.

Well, then what about these?

What about them? The man was shot.

Send him to Washington. See what they can come up with.

What good is that going to do?

Have him traced.

And then what?

So we'll know what happened.

How it died has nothing to do with this.

Human being, Colonel. We're talking about a human being in there.

Deal with it.

And get on with it. the experiment.

Anything else?

No, sir.

He's a lion, son of a bitch.

Yeah. Hi.

Hey.

I stopped by your apartment, but you weren't there.

I just thought you might like to have company.

Thanks.

It's the only place I feel comfortable right now.

Not really.

I'm questioning everything I believe in.

It just, it upsets me that they're treating this so lightly.

You know, maybe everyone's just scared and they don't want to deal with it.

Hey, don't worry.

I've brought you something to take the edge off.

That's not going to help.

Hey, it'll help you unwind.

Here you go.

Thanks.

Remember when I told you about that little girl they brought into emergency?

The burn victim?

You were interning at Lansing Gym.

She was seven years old.

90% of her body was scorched away.

It was horrible.

There was no way we could save her.

I can still see those pretty blue eyes in the way she looked at me just

before she died.

Why are you thinking about that now?

When I watched her die, I... I thought, what is it that left her body?

Something left when she died.

And now I have to think of the other possibility.

I don't get it.

What if nothing leaves?

What if life is there, locked in ourselves forever,

and it can reassert itself like it did today?

something will happen

Now that you've had time to think things through a bit, I'm sure there's been an

attitude adjustment.

Things have changed in the last 20 years. Yes, you've been on ice for 20

years.

But now I have things a little more under control.

Oh.

I thought you might like to see this.

Unfortunately, you have to go through all of this.

But as they say, no pain, no gain.

But this new development will give us the opportunity to reach beyond even our

original plan.

Good to see you again, Donald.

Skin is growing way too fast.

Let me try.

I don't have time to think about it right now.

I don't know.

Colonel Miller has something to do with this.

Now, I know I did not hear you say that.

It was a fluke. Even you said something. Yes, I did.

But after watching him, trying to communicate with him, I'm not so sure.

I don't want to hear this.

Why didn't you go in and ask him what he was doing?

He was alone.

Well, could you hear what he was saying?

He was showing him cards or pictures. It looked like he was quizzing him.

Like he was trying to jog his memory. What about his memory?

Colonel Miller, good morning.

Good morning.

What's going on?

The pens are ready to jump off the chart. That's what's going on. There's

brain activity.

I use you.

My machines don't lie, sir.

Colonel, this man belongs in a hospital. The biofarin is hardening.

Now, there's a chance he'll regain the use of his brain. If that happens, this

whole thing turns into a nightmare.

We can't afford to expose the program, Doctor.

What if he regains his memory?

I thought you said that wouldn't happen.

None of this was supposed to happen.

Damn!

We're not equipped.

For this.

Can't you do something about that?

Like what?

Oh, Larry.

Do we have enough surgical tubing to make a catheter?

Oh, no.

Oh, no, no, no, no. I'll quit before I touch him down there. Let him piss all

over the bed. Larry, you have to control the water.

Mr. Porter, I suggest you get that tubing.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.

Isn't feeling anything.

If the baselines are correct, yes.

Yes, he has a pain.

Well, can't you give him a painkiller?

I just gave him some Demerol. It'll just take a little bit of time to work.

It's me.

Do I have to?

Roger. Okay, okay.

Hold that.

FBI has blocked the fingerprint scan. They know who he is.

This is what I get when I enter Colonel Miller's name.

Effect nothing.

It's the same now.

There's too much secrecy surrounding all this.

Will you make me a copy of Miller's security key?

You're crazy.

Do you know what you're asking? I need to find out who he is.

I could be involved in something I shouldn't be doing.

I could lose my job.

I have to get into that office, Debbie.

Please.

Please.

Okay.

But can we do it later? You know, someone might walk in. What about

tonight?

Fine. Thank you.

Meet me here at seven.

Mhm. See you soon.

It's the lab.

No, don't touch that phone. It's monitored with time curves.

I'll be through in a minute.

Here you go.

I hope

you know what you're doing.

Why?

I've been paging Dr. DiCarlo. I can't find her. Where is she? She isn't

answering. I don't know what's going on.

Try her again.

Now, either your agency is up to something, or you're not dealing with a

full deck.

I suggest that you clean up in here first, and then review your security

procedures.

She scared me. Thank God you're all right.

I didn't change your picture. I've been looking all over for you. This section

is quarantined.

What?

What is going on?

He broke loose and killed Larry.

What?

Larry's dead.

General Hammond wants you to come with me right away.

He's dead?

Wait, where's... Where's Larry? I have to see him. See him later, Doctor.

There's nothing you can do.

We have to get out of here.

It's much too dangerous.

But if he hits the fence, he'll be electrocuted.

I don't care about the son of a bitch.

My priority is the safety of my people, and if I find that bastard first, I will

kill him.

May I remind you, Leslie, you have neither the right nor the authority to

do that.

We cleaned up the lab and placed the body in the freezer room.

Good. Colonel Miller has agreed to accompany you on a tour of the grounds.

I want you to start here, go around, and I will join you out front.

Yes, sir. Gentlemen.

Corporal Turner, I want you to start here. Conduct a search of the building

sector by sector. And when you're through, we will meet you out here.

Yes, sir.

I want you to go to the metal shop.

See if you can put together something to knock this thing out of commission.

And if he gets loose, I want him dead.

No problem.

Nothing out here but a full moon.

Did you check the south gate? What about across the lake?

Over here.

It's Corporal Turner, sir.

It's over here, General. You bastard.

Absolutely disgusting.

Everything is out of control.

Colonel, why don't you pass? and go back to Langley with the rest of your spooks

and take this zombie with you. Calm down, General. This biofaron was your

invention. All I did was merge the two. What are you doing? It's the same

problem we had before.

The skin is too hard.

The only way we can get the needle in. As soon as he's sedated, I want him out

of here.

I've made arrangements with regional command to let him out of here first

thing in the morning.

It's not working.

We've got to try something else.

Connect him to the rectifier.

Come on. I'll be in my office.

To see Larry.

We need you here.

I'm going with you.

You sure you want to see him?

I mean, he's really messed up.

If you need me, I'll be in the lab.

I don't think you should see this.

I need to find out how he died.

All right, then I'll go with you. No, I... If you don't mind, I'd like to do

this alone, okay?

Roger, what are you doing out here? I'm waiting for you. I don't think we should

go in there.

What's he doing?

Sleeping. But I don't know for how long.

We better just make sure he doesn't wake up.

The bio-affairant's covering him so fast, you can see it grow.

I've got to think. I've just got to think. I've got to think.

Don't do that.

I just came from Hammond's office.

He's fighting with Miller to get that thing out of here.

I should have listened to my instincts. None of this would have happened. Anna,

it is nobody's fault.

We did what we were told.

Not one of us thought it would come to this.

This isn't supposed to happen.

Yeah, well, you look in there and you tell me what you see isn't happening.

He's turning into a wolf or some kind of monster.

We have to kill him.

What are you talking about?

Moral responsibilities.

Do you realize what you're saying?

If he gets loose, he'll kill all of us.

Look at him. In an hour, he's going to be indestructible. Now, I need you.

to knock him out.

Where do I put the needle?

Stick it in his eye.

It's not going to kill him. When I get back, I'll finish, okay?

Wait a second.

You're not going to leave me here alone, are you?

Roger, just do it.

And meet us back at my lab.

Just as frightened as you are.

Now inject this son of a bitch.

Where are you going?

I'm going to Miller's office to get the silver bullets and the gun. I'll be

right back. The silver won't penetrate the bile fern.

We have a lot of choices right now. That's our only chance.

I got another idea.

You stay cool.

I'm getting more silver.

Are you sure this is going to work?

No.

But melting silver with the metal from the biofurn was our only chance. If this

sucker doesn't kill him, nothing will. General Hammond isn't answering any of

his pages.

Well, we've got to find him before Colonel Miller gets to him.

If that thing breaks loose, it'll destroy the entire community.

We're going to have to shut the space down.

But then we'll be trapped in here with him. He'll kill all of us. We don't have

a choice.

Debbie.

What's the code?

Come on.

Look, I don't want to die, okay?

We're running out of time.

Now punch in that code while we still have a chance to blow him away.

All right.

Grab those shells and let's go kill this bastard before he kills us.

Easy, easy.

I'm so rough.

Sorry.

The people in Washington have absolutely no regard for humanity.

What the hell do you think you are, General? Aren't you a trained killer?

My God, he's ripped his throat out.

I'm trained to defend my country.

I don't know how the system produces scum like you.

What system? It's easier and all you do is resent me for it. It's just so

confusing. Confusing, isn't it?

What about this poor man?

What am I supposed to say to his family? What a waste!

Well, I don't think you're going to have to worry about that, General, because

you're not going anywhere. Stand up!

Oh, oh, oh, oh, don't even think of it. Toss it over here.

And you're walkie-talkie at my feet.

You're not going to get away with it.

Why don't you hang around here for a while, Leslie? I've got some work to do.

Oh, don't wander too far.

I hear it's dangerous out there.

You son of a bitch!

Where's General Hammond?

Well, let's just say he's not jumping for joy.

Oh, what are you going to do with that?

These shells are the only way we can stop him.

Oh, I see.

Forget it.

No one's going to kill him.

Now put the shells down and give me the launcher.

Get out of the way.

Get out of the way.

Over my dead body.

Maybe he got Miller.

What do we do now? We've got to get out of here. We've got to get help.

This leads to the old institute.

This door hasn't been opened in years. Where does it go?

I haven't the slightest idea.

Can you open it?

I might be able to bypass the encryption code.

Oh, shoot.

Let me try this.

I can't leave him there like that.

It's what he wanted. You know he'll do anything for you.

Besides, he could still be alive.

You know, if we get to it in time.

Come on.

Wait.

Wait.

Just in case we run into that thing.

Come on.

Very clever, girls.

These chambers are so old, I can't believe they're still working.

We've been light all these years.

These bastards have been using us.

What are you doing? Getting rid of them. You can't do that. We need that to

protect ourselves with.

She's right.

You know, you surprised me, Doctor.

After all of your clinically incisive, brilliant work, to see you so

emotionally out of control, it just shatters my whole image of you.

It's unfortunate you had to stumble upon my little dormitory here.

Where's Captain Ferraro?

What men will do for love.

You know, I've never fully understood the concept of sacrifice.

It's okay, it's me.

Find a door down there. I'll look over here.

What about you?

Shaky.

I'm sorry I couldn't get there sooner, but... I couldn't find you.

Thank God you did.

I thought you were dead.

There's biofaring all over you.

Covered with it.

Let's get out of here and get some help.

Can you make it?

Will you keep the beast away?

I can do that Let's go
