{149}{179}Good morning. {179}{269}Heather. How are you|doing today? {269}{329}Good to see you. Seats. {389}{449}Who's ready? Who's not ready? {449}{539}Well, here we are. In light|of the fact that {539}{629}this is our last session,|I thought that we might {629}{719}diverge from the syllabus a bit. {719}{809}How many here would consider|yourselves to be darwinians? {809}{899}Yes, I expected as much|from Rev. Leblanc. {899}{929}Darwinism, might very Well {929}{1018}put his seminary school|out of business. {1018}{1108}What if I told you|that I have something {1108}{1228}that might very well prove|one, or yes, reverend, {1228}{1288}both theories? {1348}{1378}D.N.A.: {1408}{1498}blueprint for the finest|Architectural design {1498}{1558}ever made, the human body. {1588}{1678}Obviously, some blueprints|are better than others. {1678}{1738}Take Heather and Ben,|for example. {1738}{1798}They had a better designer|for the for the sequences {1798}{1888}that code for physical|attributes. Take a look. {1888}{1948}They have thick hair, good|bone structure, lean bodies, {1948}{1978}but... {2037}{2097}I might venture to say that|my own architect {2097}{2217}was better at the sequences|that code for intelligence. {2307}{2367}Now, please don't be insulted. {2367}{2427}I'm not saying you're not smart. {2427}{2487}I'm just saying that I'm|smarter. Or you would be here {2487}{2517}and I would be there. {2517}{2577}You give me a few years,|professor. I'll be up there. {2577}{2637}Yes, Ben, I'm sure you will. {2637}{2697}But do you know|what you will be teaching? {2697}{2757}The same way that|we study the periodic tables {2757}{2787}in chemistry class now, {2787}{2907}soon we will be|studying a vast map|of the human genome. {2907}{2997}Just last month, the last part|of the genome was mapped. {3026}{3086}There is one remaining|question, and that, {3086}{3176}ladies and gentleman, is|what we are going to discuss. {3206}{3296}Tell me,|who knows what an intron is? {3326}{3416}Introns are the extra genetic|material in our D.N.A. {3416}{3446}That haven't been mapped because {3446}{3506}they don't seem to code|for anything. {3506}{3596}Right. Right.|That's very Good. {3656}{3716}Now, there are some|creationists that believe {3716}{3776}that introns are a message|from god. {3776}{3836}I've never heard that before,|Martin. {3836}{3896}Now, Peter, would I lie to you? {3896}{4015}They believe that if we can|decode the intron message, {4015}{4075}we would find|more commandments from God. {4075}{4195}But there are others who|believe that the intron codes {4195}{4285}for the things we used to have|during our evolution, {4285}{4345}like gills, for example. {4345}{4405}Well, what do you think|the introns are, professor? {4405}{4495}I thought you would never ask,|Ben. {4525}{4645}I think the extra D.N.A. Codes|for our future evolution. {4705}{4825}I think it codes for what|we are about to become. {4825}{4885}And I intend to prove it. {4885}{4915}How? {4945}{5004}Do you remember our 5th|session, when we discussed. {5004}{5124}The use of retro-viruses|to deliver protein {5124}{5184}that would activate|certain genetic Sequences. {5184}{5274}Well, I've been working on it|for the past year, {5274}{5334}and I have developed|a retroviral activator {5334}{5394}that activates introns. {5454}{5604}I have in my hand the key|to our future selves. {5784}{5814}Excuse me, Dr. Nodel. {5814}{5844}Dean Hardwick. {5844}{5904}Well, let's give a warm welcome {5904}{5994}to a man who is lucky enough|to have the genetic sequences {5994}{6053}for both, good looks|and good brains. {6053}{6143}How do you intend to test|this new activator of yours? {6203}{6263}Well, actually,|I have already tested it. {6383}{6473}But don't worry, boss.|I haven't tested it on humans. {6593}{6713}So, I want you to listen|to what I have to say. {6713}{6773}I am urging you|not to discuss this {6773}{6833}with anyone|outside of this group {6833}{6923}because I don't think that|our Dean would appreciate {6923}{7042}the human uproar|that will follow it. {7252}{7342}Ladies and gentlemen,|I bring you... {7372}{7402}the Evolution. {8091}{8181}My god, it has feet! {8811}{8901}There is nothing wrong|with your television. {8901}{8961}Do not attempt To|adjust the picture. {8991}{9080}We are now controlling|the transmission. {9080}{9200}We control the horizontal|and the vertical. {9200}{9290}We can deluge you|with a thousand channels {9290}{9410}or expand one single image|to crystal clarity. {9440}{9470}And beyond. {9500}{9590}We can shape your vision|to anything {9590}{9650}our imagination can conceive. {9680}{9710}For the next hour {9710}{9830}we will control|all that you see and hear. {10189}{10309}You are about to experience|the awe and mystery {10309}{10399}which reaches from|the deepest inner mind {10399}{10489}to The Outer Limits. {10609}{10699}Perhaps we should|ask ourselves, {10699}{10789}will the next leap of science|be a step into the future? {10819}{10879}Or a plunge into the abyss? {10939}{10998}You could've warned me|this was coming, Martin. {10998}{11028}Would you have shown up? {11028}{11088}You know I'm completely|opposed to this research. {11118}{11148}It's... it's abhorrently|heretical. {11148}{11208}I'm gonna have to|petition the university {11208}{11268}to stop this research. {11268}{11328}I expect no less,|but we all have to do|what we have to do. {11328}{11388}Peter, say hi to your wife. {11418}{11538}the staff meeting today|is moved to 5:00, room one... {11568}{11628}so, now you're doing|animal Experiments {11628}{11688}without permission. {11688}{11748}What, are "Free the big mouth|Bass" People {11748}{11778}are gonna start|setting up pickets? {11778}{11838}We have rules, Martin. {11838}{11898}Displays like that|are what keep the students {11898}{11928}intrigued in the subject. {11928}{11988}Or you would rather|not have them {11988}{12047}flocking to my classes|in this department. {12077}{12167}I was going through the ROSTER|for next semester, {12167}{12257}and noticed you didn't put|yourself in for any classes. {12257}{12287}Yes, that's right. {12287}{12317}May I ask why? {12317}{12377}Because I want to|spend the extra time {12377}{12407}devoted to my new Research. {12407}{12497}The problem is, it puts me|in a difficult bind, Martin. {12497}{12557}You're my biggest selling point {12557}{12617}to draw the best|and brightest students {12617}{12647}to this university,|to this department. {12647}{12707}Not to mention alumni money. {12707}{12797}Right. Now just,|keep pouring it on. {12797}{12827}Aw, Martin... {12827}{12857}Look... {12947}{13006}I just don't have|much time left. {13036}{13066}What does that mean? {13066}{13096}Nothing. {13096}{13156}Doug, I'm about to make|a major breakthrough {13156}{13216}That's gonna make history. {13216}{13276}How? Please tell me how. {13276}{13336}You'll never get approval|for human testing {13336}{13366}on something so radical. {13366}{13426}You'll be lucky|if you even get approval {13426}{13456}for animal testing. {13456}{13516}I'll get approval. {13516}{13576}With the proper computer|models, lab testing, {13576}{13636}animal testing,|I will get approval. {13636}{13696}Just check my contracts.|I'm allowed to take off {13696}{13786}whatever semester I want|to do my research. {13846}{13936}Well, you seem in|perfect health to me. {14025}{14085}Are you sure about|your genetic test? {14085}{14145}Yes, Phil, I'm absolutely sure. {14145}{14235}I drew my own blood|on 3 separate occasions. {14235}{14295}I did my own genetic Workup|each time. {14295}{14385}And each time the Marker|for Wilson's disease came up. {14385}{14475}So, obviously, I know that|I'm going to get the disease, {14475}{14505}it's just a question of time. {14505}{14565}So tell me, please,|have you checked everything? {14565}{14655}What about the liver function,|reflexes, {14655}{14715}corneal coloration,|copper content? {14715}{14775}Well, your copper levels|are a touch high. {14775}{14835}You're sitting here telling me|there are no symptoms. {14835}{14895}Elevated copper|is the first one. {14895}{14985}Well, I knew you'd over react. {14985}{15044}Everyone can have|elevated copper Levels {15044}{15104}from time to time,|without Wilson's disease. {15134}{15194}There's no decolorization|of the cornea, no tremors. {15224}{15284}Probably in a few years|I'll start to get tremors.|They'll take over. {15314}{15374}A few years later, my liver's|gonna go, then what? {15374}{15434}Hold on.|You're not hearing me. {15434}{15464}I have so much to do in my life. {15464}{15494}My research hasn't started, {15494}{15584}my relationship with My son|is crap. {15614}{15674}Have you told him? {15674}{15734}No, I'm not gonna tell anybody {15734}{15794}until I can't hide|the SYMPTOMS any longer. {15794}{15884}And I don't want you to say|anything to anybody, either. {16093}{16183}Paul. Sorry I'm late. {16183}{16243}It's ok, Dad.|I just got here. {16243}{16303}I learned a long time ago,|when you say 1:00, {16303}{16363}figure 1:30. {16363}{16393}Well... {16453}{16483}so how you been? {16483}{16543}I'm good. You? {16543}{16573}Fantastic. {16633}{16693}So tell me about mother. {16693}{16753}She as good|as she makes out to be? {16783}{16843}Yeah. She's fine. {16903}{16992}She tells me that|you have a new girlfriend. {16992}{17052}I, I guess mom also|told you about my plans. {17052}{17082}What makes you say that? {17082}{17172}Well, why else would you|ask me to lunch, dad? {17172}{17232}I mean, let's face it.|I haven't seen you once {17232}{17292}since I started school here|3 months ago. {17322}{17382}Well, you don't exactly|make any efforts {17382}{17442}to see me either, Paul. {17442}{17502}But now, you suddenly|want to have lunch. {17502}{17592}I'm guessing, because mom|told you I'm leaving school. {17592}{17652}Well, she did mention|something about it, {17652}{17712}so why don't you just tell me|about it yourself? {17712}{17742}Ok. {17832}{17952}I'm bored here, Dad.|I feel like my life's on hold. {17952}{18041}There's so much I want to see,|accomplish in the real world. {18041}{18131}I... I don't wanna waste 4 years|before I can get started. {18131}{18191}So, what are you gonna do?|You're just checking out, {18191}{18221}you're just quitting? {18221}{18281}I told hope you|wouldn't understand. {18281}{18341}Hope? Hope.|That's your new girlfriend? {18371}{18461}You have to meet her, Dad.|She... she is the best. {18461}{18521}Hope has made me see life|for what it really is. {18521}{18581}You know, a... a big wonderful|Adventure. {18581}{18611}Well, Yes. Hope is right. {18611}{18671}It is a big, wonderful|adventure. {18671}{18731}But it's adventure that needs|to have a solid foundation, {18761}{18791}like a college education. {18791}{18851}That's not what hope thinks.|She... she thinks {18851}{18941}she learned more from life|than she did from college. {18941}{18971}And... and to this day, {18971}{19030}she really regrets|wasting those 4 years. {19030}{19090}Do... do you mind it I ask you|how old hope is? {19120}{19150}Hope? She's 30. {19150}{19180}30. {19210}{19300}30 like in|11-years-older-than-19|kind of 30? {19330}{19420}You're telling me that|this girl, I mean, this woman, {19420}{19480}who is 30 years old,|and who finished college, {19480}{19570}is telling my son that he|shouldn't graduate? {19600}{19660}What are you supposed to do|for a living, flip burgers? {19660}{19720}And what would I do|with a degree? {19720}{19780}Teach? Waste my life|doing research {19780}{19870}that no one will ever hear of,|or... or... or care about? {19900}{19960}You're gonna deny it? {19960}{20049}You've spent the past 20 years|making obscure discoveries {20049}{20139}that, I'm sorry, dad,|will not change the world. {20169}{20229}That's a nice thing to say. {20229}{20319}And at what cost? Your life? {20349}{20379}Living your life? {20379}{20439}Will you really treasure|the 3 months {20439}{20499}you spent zeroing in on a Gene|for nearsightedness {20499}{20589}when you could've watched|your son pitch 3 no-hitters|in little league? {20589}{20679}How about the year you spent|finding just 1 of 10 genes {20709}{20739}responsible for acne? {20739}{20799}It was psoriasis. {20799}{20889}Whatever. That one cost you|your marriage. {20919}{20979}Well, that is not fair. {20979}{21038}You missed out, Dad. {21038}{21098}You're missing|the great adventure of life. {21098}{21158}It is passing you by. {21188}{21218}Yep. {21308}{21338}Well... {21338}{21398}well, I... look,|I didn't mean to say... {21398}{21488}No, it's fine. It's fine. {21488}{21548}You should say what you mean.|Get it off your chest. {21548}{21638}That's what people|are supposed to do. {21638}{21668}Dad? {21668}{21698}Yep? {21698}{21758}Hope would really|love to meet you. {21758}{21848}Hope. I bet she would. {21878}{21938}All right. {22237}{22327}You'll never get approval|for human testing {22327}{22387}on something so radical. {22537}{22627}You've spent the past 20 years|making obscure discoveries, {22627}{22717}that, I'm sorry, dad,|will not change the world. {24455}{24485}So tell me, Martin, {24515}{24575}what are we learning from this? {24605}{24665}Aside from the fact that|you were doing nothing {24665}{24695}but wasting your time? {24785}{24875}Dad. Hey.|What're you doing here? {24875}{24935}Well, I just came to see|how my kid lives. {24935}{24994}You wanna come in? {25054}{25114}I'm... I'm sorry it's such a mess. {25114}{25204}Well, it wouldn't be a dorm|if it wasn't such a mess. {25234}{25324}Actually, it's a lot bigger|than I thought it would be. {25324}{25414}You didn't come here|to see my room, Dad. {25414}{25504}Well... {25534}{25624}you said that|hope wanted to meet me. {25624}{25654}Yeah. So? {25654}{25744}Well, I think|it's a pretty good idea. {25744}{25864}So, how about Friday,|my place, 7:00? {25894}{25924}It's a date. {25924}{25954}Cool. {26163}{26253}You never cease to amaze me,|you know that, dad? {26253}{26313}I never cease to amaze myself. {26433}{26523}This is the M.R.I.|Of your head. {26523}{26583}And that's a normal one. {26583}{26673}So, does this somehow|explain my headaches? {26673}{26763}Your cerebrum and cerebellum|are becoming more convoluted {26763}{26823}in order to fit more|Grey matter surface {26823}{26883}within the confines|of your cranium. {26883}{26913}I don't follow. {26913}{26973}Well, I don't either, exactly. {27002}{27062}If you study various Species'|brains, you'll see that {27062}{27122}the higher the mammal,|the bigger their brains are, {27122}{27182}and the more convoluted|they are to fit the cranium. {27212}{27242}So, what are you saying? {27242}{27302}You're saying that my... my... my|brain is swelling? {27302}{27362}No, Martin,|I'm saying it's Growing. {27392}{27512}Maybe it's, I don't know,|evolving? {28561}{28651}I must read this material.|I have to read it. {28651}{28711}I don't know why I'm driven|to read this material, {28711}{28771}this volume of Material. {29250}{29310}So, rev. Leblanc|is pretty worked up {29310}{29370}over your fish demonstration. {29370}{29430}He wants me to put a hold|on your research, {29430}{29460}pending a review. {29460}{29520}Can you hold him off? {29520}{29580}Will you teach a class|next semester? {29580}{29670}I'll tell you what. I'll teach|a small research seminar, {29700}{29730}with 8 advanced Students. {29760}{29820}20, and I'll fend off|the reverend. {29820}{29880}This is not a negotiation. {29880}{29970}8 advanced students,|and you fend him off. {29999}{30029}Deal. {30059}{30149}May I ask|what changed your mind? {30149}{30179}I figured|I could use the students {30179}{30239}to assist me in my research, {30239}{30299}and they could learn something|at the same time. {30299}{30359}Sounds Good. {30359}{30449}One more thing. I handpick|the students myself, {30449}{30509}and the moment that you|question my methods {30509}{30599}is the moment|the seminar is cancelled. {30899}{30959}All right, quiet down. {30988}{31048}All right, now, I...|first of all, {31048}{31138}I want to thank you all|for coming. I appreciate it. {31138}{31228}As you know,|there are only 8 people {31228}{31258}that I'm choosing|to do this research, {31288}{31318}and there are very|specific requirements {31318}{31378}In order to qualify|for this study. {31378}{31438}What is the study, Dr. Nodel? {31438}{31498}I'm sorry,|but only the 8 will know. {31498}{31528}This seems to be a large group, {31528}{31588}I'm gonna have to|narrow it down a bit. {31588}{31648}So, any of you|who are wearing glasses, {31648}{31768}please raise your hand.|With glasses? {31768}{31828}Ok. Thank you.|You're dismissed. {31828}{31918}Don't try to lie, because I'm|gonna check your eyes later, {31918}{31948}so it's a waste of time,|yours and mine. {31977}{32037}Ok, all of you who|have s.A.Ts under 1,400, {32037}{32157}g.P.As under 3.9,|thank you very much, {32157}{32217}you're dismissed also. {32217}{32247}We'll check the records, {32247}{32307}so none of you|waste my time or yours. {32307}{32397}All right, let's begin.|5 at a time. {32667}{32757}All right. You stay.|The rest of you dismissed. {32757}{32817}Why not me?

I mean, I don't know|what questions he asked you, {37072}{37132}but mine were pretty strange. {37132}{37192}I felt like I was interviewing {37192}{37252}to join one of those cults|or something. {37252}{37282}"Do you trust me? {37282}{37372}Would you be willing to|travel with me if necessary?" {37372}{37402}he's just checking|our loyalty, Heather. {37402}{37462}I really don't see anything|wrong with that. {37462}{37552}Besides, he did say this was|his most important Research. {37552}{37642}Doesn't want a bunch of scared|students screwing it up. {37642}{37732}But he was dropping people|for physical ATTRIBUTES: {37732}{37822}Too fat, too tall,|bad skin, bad eyesight. {37822}{37852}What does any of that have to do {37852}{37912}with Qualified to be in a class? {37912}{38001}I came to this university|to study genetic engineering {38001}{38061}for one REASON:|Dr. Martin Nodel. {38061}{38121}He's the best-known genetics|researcher in the world. {38121}{38181}The man is a genius. {38181}{38241}And most geniuses|are eccentric as hell. {38241}{38271}I know, but... {38271}{38331}this could be the most|important genetics research {38331}{38391}we'll ever have the|opportunity to be involved in. {38391}{38481}Now, if you want to let his|eccentricities scare you away, {38481}{38541}that's your problem.|Personally, {38541}{38571}I don't care how strange|things get. {38571}{38631}I'm not lettin' anything|take it away from me. {38661}{38781}In your independent interviews,|all of you said how much you trusted me. {38781}{38841}Well, this is the final round, {38841}{38901}and the purpose is to test|how much you can learn {38931}{38961}to trust each other. {38961}{39020}So, let's form 2 large circles, {39020}{39110}men on the outside, women|on the inside. Let's go. {39110}{39170}All right,|this is a trust exercise. {39170}{39230}The women are gonna|keep their bodies rigid. {39230}{39290}They will fall backwards|without looking back, {39290}{39380}into the arms of the man|behind them.

Anybody want|to change their story? No? {40998}{41028}Anybody? {41028}{41058}No. {41088}{41148}Ok.|Now for the final exercise. {41148}{41208}Will you all please disrobe. {41298}{41358}You're kidding, right? {41388}{41478}No. No. No, I'm not kidding. {41508}{41568}In front of everyone? {41568}{41598}I'm not stripping|in front of Everyone. {41598}{41658}Wait a second.

Up yours. {44984}{45044}What exactly are you|looking for, Dr. Nodel? {45044}{45194}Scars, birthmarks,|potential skin cancers, {45224}{45254}tattoos. {45314}{45374}That disqualify me? {45374}{45434}That alone? No. {45584}{45674}How did you get that scar,|Brittany? {45674}{45734}That?|I... I had my appendix out. {45734}{45824}You did, did you?|Had your appendix out. {45854}{45914}I thought you said|you had no surgery. {45944}{46003}I'm gonna have to|disqualify you. {46003}{46033}Why? {46033}{46093}Because I can't trust you. {46093}{46183}Because I need whole people,|as they naturally evolved. {46453}{46573}What are you going to do?|What are you going to do? {46573}{46633}You only have 6.|You're supposed to have 8. {46633}{46693}No ifs ands, or buts! {47052}{47112}My God.

You injected|that stuff that made {55684}{55744}fish grow legs into your own|blood Stream. {55744}{55804}That's correct. At first,|I didn't see any effect. {55804}{55864}And then,|something started to happen. {55864}{55983}My brain started to evolve,|for want of a better word. {55983}{56103}And this new Brain started|to tell me to do things. {56103}{56133}Like what? {56163}{56283}Like, find 8 young Volunteers.|4 men, 4 women. {56283}{56343}Your brain told you to do this? {56343}{56403}Yes, Heather.|You find that so strange? {56403}{56463}Millions of years of evolution|have told birds to migrate, {56463}{56523}have told young mammals|to nurse, {56523}{56583}have told bears to hibernate. {56583}{56673}Well, I am evolving|to know things! {56703}{56763}So, did your brain tell you|to bring us here? {56763}{56853}Something else, Heather,|told me to do this. {56853}{56913}You know what it was?|It was this! {56943}{57002}My god, dad! {57002}{57032}What is it? {57032}{57092}Wait. It... it looks like a map. {57092}{57212}Right, Ben. It's a map.|It's a paleogeographical map. {57212}{57242}A what? {57242}{57332}It's a map that measures|the plate tectonics|in this area. {57332}{57392}There are 2 cordilleran|mountain ranges {57392}{57422}that meet in this area. {57422}{57482}That's what created|those cliffs over there. {57482}{57542}This map on my back {57542}{57632}was designed to bring us|to this location. {57632}{57662}Why? {57692}{57752}To find something, Heather. {57752}{57812}To find something wonderful. {57812}{57902}Something that will inform us|about our past and our future. {57902}{57961}And we're gonna find it,|Heather! {57961}{58021}We're gonna find it|at first light! {58501}{58531}All right.|This is crazy, Dad. {58561}{58621}We've been lookin' all day.|You don't even know what for. {58621}{58651}Here we go.

This place|isn't even on any map. {61678}{61738}It is on one map.|Hope, be quiet. {61738}{61798}No, hope. Do tell. {61798}{61828}Show him, Dr. Nodel. {62247}{62277}H- How did that happen? {62337}{62397}You say that led you here? {62427}{62457}That's right. {62517}{62547}Excuse me a moment. {62697}{62727}What's in there? {62727}{62787}I don't know.|I just made it up. {62787}{62847}I figured they were guarding|something {62847}{62907}that we must be looking for. {63176}{63266}Given your condition, you|might be of some value to us. {63266}{63326}I'd like to show you something. {63326}{63356}Well, I would love to see it, {63386}{63446}as long as|all of my students can go. {63446}{63476}Sorry, can't do that. {63476}{63536}Well, then, I'm sorry. {63536}{63596}All of us came this far,|so we're all going in. {63596}{63656}I can force you, you know. {63656}{63746}Well, if you want to know|what that thing is inside, {63746}{63836}then we all go in.|It's that simple. {63985}{64015}Fine. {65724}{65784}What is it? {65784}{65844}That's what I was hoping|you'd tell me, doctor. {65844}{65934}I have no idea.|Where is it from? {65963}{66023}We found this underground|at this location, {66023}{66053}after world War li. {66053}{66113}We've been studying the object|ever since. {66113}{66233}It won't move from that spot|in 3-dimensional space. {66233}{66263}We tried digging underneath it, {66263}{66323}and it just stays|at this exact height. {66323}{66353}What's supporting it? {66353}{66413}Can't figure that out either. {66413}{66473}Best guess is|some kind of magnetic field. {66473}{66533}And the object is impenetrable. {66533}{66623}We tried lasers and|diamond plates, ultrasound, {66623}{66653}x- rays, you name it. {66683}{66773}We have no idea what,|if anything, is inside of it. {66773}{66833}Have you tried to|carbon date it? {66833}{66893}Can't get a sample.|It's too hard. {66893}{66952}But based on the surrounding|geographic strata, {66952}{67012}we figure it's about|60 million years old. {67012}{67132}60 million!|It predates humans. {67132}{67192}By about 57 million years. {67192}{67222}May I? {67222}{67282}By all means. {68031}{68091}Dad! Dad! {68990}{69080}If we are communicating|with you today, {69080}{69140}then our experiment has worked. {69170}{69260}You are the final result of|our great experiment in hope. {69290}{69410}We seeded your planet|with Our own genetic material {69410}{69500}to continue our race in you, {69500}{69590}to see if you evolved {69620}{69710}socially, scientifically,|physically, as we did. {69740}{69860}To see if your society|would evolve to a life of war, {69890}{69949}destruction, as we did. {69979}{70099}To see if you would use your|intelligence and inventiveness {70099}{70189}for good or for evil. {70189}{70309}We knew that when you|reached the appropriate|level of intelligence, {70309}{70399}you would|activate the remainder|of our experiment {70399}{70459}in Your own D.N.A. {70459}{70549}That, in turn, would|lead you to this craft. {70549}{70639}At that time, you would|return, report to us, {70639}{70729}tell us of your world|as it evolved {70759}{70819}without our interference. {70819}{70879}If you have done as we intended, {70879}{70968}there should be the one|who has transformed {70968}{70998}and 8 More. {71028}{71118}Good examples of what|our seed has wrought. {71148}{71238}Young and healthy enough|to withstand the journey {71268}{71358}using This vessel|that you see before you now. {71388}{71478}This vessel will launch|in 10 of your minutes. {71508}{71628}We look forward to|welcoming you back home. {72017}{72047}You ok? {72287}{72377}Get some stairs over there!|On the double! {72377}{72407}Yes, sir. {72407}{72467}Are you all right? {72467}{72527}You still think|I'm wasting my time? {72527}{72587}I guess not. {72587}{72617}Well, then, I'm ok. {72797}{72857}So you ready to go? {72857}{72887}When can we go? {72917}{72976}This could be very dangerous. {72976}{73036}They could have left that|message as much as {73036}{73126}60 million years ago,|or they could be dead or gone, {73126}{73156}or at the very least, {73156}{73246}they could have forgotten|about the experiment. {73246}{73306}Now, I intend to go, {73306}{73366}but I can't expect any of you|to join me. {73366}{73456}The decision has to be|entirely yours. {73576}{73636}Like I said, when do we go? {73696}{73726}Right now. {73816}{73876}I believe it's safe. {74295}{74325}It's so warm in here. {74535}{74595}This is great. {74625}{74745}My god, this is...|This is incredible {74805}{74865}ok,|this is gonna be a long trip. {74865}{74954}Think you can handle it|with your old man? {74984}{75074}Unless you'd rather I|stay here and flip burgers. {75104}{75134}I hope you'll come. {75134}{75194}I don't really|fulfill the requirements. {75194}{75254}To hell with the requirements. {75254}{75314}We need someone who|has your attitude about life. {75314}{75374}Show those people|on that other planet {75374}{75464}what the human spirit really is. {75494}{75584}Besides, my son likes you. {76453}{76543}the more we learn about|the universe around us, {76543}{76633}the more we realize|how little we truly know. {76633}{76753}But we will only find|what wonders await us {76753}{76843}if no false walls are built|around our explorers {76873}{76932}and no false restraints applied {76932}{77052}to the unquenchable|human thirst to know it all.
