HARRISON: Red. Blood red on white.

Nothing else would do.

I got so desperate for the visions

I would look for ways to cut myself.

[CHAINS CLINKING]

I wasn't always in this chair.

There was a time when I could run and play.

But Mother never let me play.

She told me I wasn't like the other boys.

That I was special.

And besides,

like she always said,

it was too, too dangerous.

Years of research lost! I could've healed the world!

HARRISON: Fire, Daddy, fire!

-Fire! -DAD: Go! Get out of here!

[DAD SCREAMS]

MOTHER: Harrison. Harrison! Where are you, son?

Harrison.

Oh, my God! What have you done to him?

What have you done?!

[LIQUID BUBBLING]

First, ligase enzyme--

COMPUTER VOICE: Voice analyzed. Recording.

MOTHER: Wait. He stopped.

-[PLAYS BIG BAND RECORD] -MOTHER: That damn music.

HANS: He's up to something. I'll go check.

[♪♪♪]

Alright.

[SIGHS]

Plasmid base ready.

Preparing reptilian gene sample.

COMPUTER: Gene sample.

[SCREECHING]

Sorry, pal, but you'll grow a new one.

[♪♪♪]

Oh!

[SCREAMS]

Give it!

[ALARM BLARES]

No!

Close the door!

I told you to buzz me before you come in.

Harrison, I'm very sorry.

I really am. Do you hear me?

Harrison, I suppose what I'm trying to say is that, um...

all this hard work, all this endeavor,

deserves rewarding, doesn't it?

I don't know what you mean.

Well, why don't we plan a day out in the park, hmm?

I don't go out. There's nothing out there.

But it's been over a year.

Mother doesn't think it's safe.

But of course not.

Oh, I see. Now, the human gene sample.

Correct?

Yes, correct.

Here you are. You'll probably need these.

Harrison, why don't you speak up?

For the cameras.

Your mother said that she didn't hear what you said earlier.

Have you remembered something new from your father's notes?

-Don't look. -COMPUTER: Laser on.

[MACHINERY WHIRRS]

Tissue burn sequence initialized.

Harrison, my friends--

Laser off.

--my friends in Zurich are on the verge of committing.

Geez.

They say you'll create it,

you'll get whatever you want.

Stand clear for stripping and bonding.

Stage one: stripping and bonding.

[LONG BEEP]

We are on the verge of showing them something, aren't we?

Stage two: gene sample blended.

Analysis: carbon-based, organic lifeform.

Oxygen, potassium.

Warning, unidentified organic matrix.

Gene bonding failure.

Gene bonding failure. Gene bonding failure.

[♪♪♪]

Failed again.

Failed again, yes, but why, for God's sake?

I guess I made a mistake recreating my father's notes.

Well, maybe your father the mistakes, okay?

More than likely, it's the absurd conditions in here.

Plus, my gene samples are defective.

Do you know where that stuff came from, do you?

The Handlander Penitentiary.

It--it's a damn serial killer.

A genetic deficient.

I'm trying to say that our new arrangements

will provide better corpses, alright?

Ah.

[MOTHER CLEARS THROAT]

My two favorite men.

[CHUCKLES]

My, my. My, my, my, my.

Hello, darling. Lovely to see you.

I've just paying a social visit to young Harrison here.

Harrison. I've been watching you, my liebling.

That spectacle, huh?

Now don't start that.

We know all that hard work is going to pay off.

Mother, we cannot rush things.

MOTHER: You are very special, Harrison.

-You know that? -HARRISON: Yes, Mother.

You're far beyond all those ridiculous schools

and their students, you know that.

Yes.

You can do anything.

Anything at all.

-You know that, don't you? -Yes, Mother.

You can do good things, my dear,

and you can do bad things.

But the bad things will always be our secret.

I will love you no matter what you did.

I will always love you, because I'm your mother.

And you're the most important part of me.

You know that, don't you?

I know.

Yes.

Give Mother a kiss.

[KISSING]

Dr. Vaughan?

Will you join us for dinner tonight, 8:00?

I should be honored, Mrs. Harrison.

Splendid.

I should have some good news by then.

Mother, I don't think I'll make it for dinner. I have some things I need to--

Oh, I see. You're just too busy to spend a little time

with your poor, little, lonely mother.

No, that is not it at all, Mother. I really--

You can resume your work after dinner.

And, Harrison, wash up.

Mrs. Harrison!

[GRUNTS IN DISGUST]

[♪♪♪]

Uh, that'll do. Thank you very much.

Well, I'll see you both for dinner tonight.

[♪♪♪]

MOTHER: Did they agree to early payment?

Yes, they did, my darling.

With the proviso that they have his results as soon as possible.

They're gonna call any moment now.

MOTHER: [CHUCKLES] Hello, my liebling.

He is so much like his father.

[TELEPHONE RINGS]

Excuse me, madam.

-Yes, hello. -Who is this?

-Who am I talking to? -Ah.

[CHUCKLES] Good evening, Herr Heinkel.

-Is Mrs. Harrison with you? -HANS: Yes, she is.

Good. Tell her she's an idiot!

HANS: Yes, indeed. Of course, I will.

It's Heinkel. He sends his regards.

Did you receive the contract?

-I beg your pardon? -The contract, you idiot!

Yes, your contracts arrived this evening, in time for dinner.

-[HEINKEL CONTINUES, MUFFLED] -What contracts?

Get your elbows off the table.

Liebling, I know things are moving a bit fast,

but the sooner we commit to them

the sooner you can have your new equipment.

Who is "them"?

I--I can't present the plasma to a corporation.

-It's not-- -Harrison!

Harrison, I have sacrificed everything.

My artwork, my whole, entire intelligence,

all for the sake of research.

First, for your father, and now for you.

I've spent my whole lifetime educating you.

And, Harrison, I am scared. I--

I am so frightened.

We have hardly anything left.

I mean, I've sold all my jewelry

except for a few things.

We're down to one... servant.

The gardens are a wreck.

Please, Mother.

I feel my heart will burst.

Would you hold the line, please?

[HEINKEL CONTINUES, MUFFLED]

Now, Harrison,

it's a very standard contract.

Right there, darling. Right here.

I just-- I want them to do the right thing.

Father always intended the plasmid

to be available at cost to anybody who needed it.

Of course, darling. Of course, of course.

I'm just beginning to see what Father saw.

And here.

Right there.

The potential to alleviate human suffering.

-Right there. -If--

Imagine regenerating organs

to replace cancerous ones.

Date it. Date it here.

Burn victims could generate new skin.

Harrison, Mother's trying to eat.

Please.

First of all, I don't see-- What?! What?!

-It's done. -What have you done?

Harrison, we have so much to celebrate.

This is a wonderful, wonderful moment.

Harrison. Harrison.

-Your mother and I have something to tell you. -Shh!

What do you mean "shh"?

[♪♪♪]

MOTHER: He's having one of his spells.

[♪♪♪]

They can't take it! I'll burn my notes!

HANS: Congratulations, young man.

Here is a little something

for you to remember how happy you made me.

NORDKEM will be sending a courier first thing in the morning.

-NORDKEM? -Yep.

They'll be responsible for testing the plasmid.

They distributed Thalidomide.

HANS: Harrison, we will do everything we promised

to modernize this laboratory.

The only difference being, old son,

you no longer own it.

Oh, really? Well, who will own it,

-NORDKEM? They invented chemical warfare. -My liebling.

Why don't we all take a vacation together?

I would love to go to Hawaii.

See the beautiful flowers,

-the beaches, the palm trees-- -Mother--

HANS: Yes, what a wonderful idea.

I know a great place in Maui.

It would be ideal for the ceremony.

Ceremony?

Well, you see, darling,

-Dr. Vaughan-- -HANS: Harrison...

Harrison...

I want you to think of me--

Well, as something--

something like a father, hmm?

-[GRUNTS] -Harrison!

[GRUNTING CONTINUES]

-Harrison, stop! -[HANS SHOUTING]

HARRISON: Will you stand still?!

Don't hurt him! Don't! Don't you hurt him!

You can't destroy my father!

How dare you say that!

You killed your father!

The plasmid really worked.

I put my worries behind me,

and spent the night staring at the stars

and talking to Father.

Imagining all the wonderful things I could do with it.

I could heal anything.

From cancer to Alzheimer's.

If I had known what I had really done,

I would've cut the damn thing off...

That's right.

Only it got blown off by a AK-47.

In the big war.

That's my business.

But the point is, I'm keeping this one.

Look...

I don't know who you are.

But that's very important plasmid,

and that's all there is, and I need to make more immediately.

But I cannot do that unless you give it back to me.

Well, how's about I keep it for you.

Okay, that--that would be-- Don't!

If your genes were really mine,

Okay, good.

That's good. [CHUCKLES]

Poor Stripes never did understand my arm.

It was a genetic mess.

Part lizard and part psycho

and part me.

The plasmid had made it very strong.

And the genes we shared allowed it to see anything I saw.

And it had developed ventral pores for feeding.

When I discovered what it fed on,

it was too late.

It's magic.

That's why I brought you here.

Ever since that mine

But with a regular-type leg.

Oh!

And most importantly, lysine and alanine.

That's all. The plasmid does the rest already built-in.

Getting this junk for you, was easy, man.

'Cause back in the 'Nam, I was what they call a "scavenger".

That was before them rotten punji sticks

Alright. I need a good man.

Somebody to drop in on my relatives.

I think she likes you.

I didn't even know she was a girl.

She's perfect.

I realized that Vaughan and NORDKEM

They may have had more money and equipment than we did,

but we had Stripes on our side.

he had scavenging down to a science.

I was gonna beat Vaughan

if it was the last thing I did.

I loved that lab.

It's the beginning of a new age!

Where's the switch?

[MACHINERY CRACKLES AND WHIRRS]

Stripes,

I need your gene sample.

Uh... I don't get it.

Well, the recipient of the plasmid

must also be the donor of the gene sample.

That's the error I made before.

Ah, you mean the skin's gotta get cut,

uh, off of me?

Yes. [GIGGLES]

Fond as I am of this arm,

it's genetic complement includes DNA for a serial killer.

Well...

I got a confession.

[SIGHS] I was never in the army, man.

I was passed out in an alley, man,

and I got run over by a garbage truck.

So, let's just forget it.

Alright. Let me go, you guys.

No.

STRIPES: Why?

Well, when the plasmid melds genes with tissues,

it cycles through a series of morphological permutations

before settling on the appropriate one.

-[LAUGHS] -Bless you!

[LAUGHTER AND CHATTER]

Alright! Alright!

Everybody.

I can help all of you now.

Everybody just line up for gene samples.

STRIPES: What about you?

You could probably

grow yourself a normal arm now, baby.

[♪♪♪]

[ARM SNARLING]

No, uh...

it's--it's alright. I, um, I have an arm.

You sure do. beautiful arm, right?

I wouldn't change it for the world.

[BIG BAND RECORD PLAYS]

[MUSIC CONTINUES FAINTLY]

-[CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYS] -MOTHER: Do we have to listen to this? I hate this music.

[CAR PHONE RINGS]

Vaughan here.

-What the hell are you doing? -[SHUSHES]

Yes, I see.

Thank you, sir.

Well, it seems our little ferret

has found something.

We have got to find him. I want him back.

Yes, you want him.

Harrison couldn't have possibly understood

why I need to sell the plasmid.

It's not as if NORDKEM was some kind of...

some kind of Nazi concern.

MOTHER: Well, my dear, there was the Zyklon gas contract.

That was 50 years ago, Helena.

Why can't people forgive and forget?

[SCOFFS]

HANS: They'll see.

Once we've regenerated the elderly,

then we will have defeated death itself, wouldn't we?

You mean the slave cloning facility?

Will you stop throwing that back in my face?!

It was purely hypothetical, alright?

The fact remains, that if your son

insists on giving the plasmid to charity...

then there'll be no plans at all,

-having been locked away ourselves. -That'll be quite enough,

-Hans. -[TURNS RADIO OFF]

We're here.

What the hell are you doing?

-What--? -[DOOR SHUTS]

[BIG BAND RECORD PLAYS FAINTLY]

My God, Hans.

That music, that--

[MUSIC PLAYS LOUDLY]

[CHATTER]

STRIPES: Look who's here!

[LAUGHTER AND CHEERS]

Hey.

He seems to have healed quickly.

Yes.

God! There is so much of it.

He's done it.

But who are all these filthy people?

Looks like a group party.

Harrison does not like parties.

[LAUGHTER AND CHATTER CONTINUE]

A toast!

To Harrison Harrison!

He saved our lives

and now, he's gonna save the world!

-Yeah! -[ALL CHEER]

Uh...

Uh, no--nobody ever cared about me before.

Not really.

I--I couldn't go to school

or--or have any friends.

And now, I--I have so many.

[GIGGLES]

And I just wanna thank you all

for making me feel like a whole person for the first time.

[ALL CHEER]

MOTHER: Who is that?

I gave him that ring. I gave him that ring!

I've seen just about enough.

Hans.

I'll handle this.

Give me that bottle, will you?

Hell, Dr. Vaughan.

Have you met everybody?

[MUFFLED] Harrison.

Get this off-- Get this off me!

-[RECORD NEEDLE SCRATCHES] -MOTHER: Harrison,

stop it this very minute.

Make it stop.

[GAGGING]

I know you can.

Tighter!

[GASPING] Harrison!

You killed my father.

[LAUGHS] Harrison, please.

Why?

I don't think this is the time

or the place, in front of all these... bums.

-These are my friends, Mother. -[SCOFFS]

That's your mother?

I have no mother.

You won't shoot me.

No.

Of course not.

-[GASPS] -[ALL SHOUT]

Eve!

[CHUCKLES]

Out of my sight for two days,

and you fall for a cheap, little, street bum rat.

[GAGS]

[♪♪♪]

-Mother! -[GUNSHOT]

It's over, son.

Uh-uh.

[♪♪♪]

Very well.

I have no son.

Come on, let's go.

[EVE WHIMPERS]

No!

Revenge.

It's all I could think of.

I spent night after night

thinking about what I could have done differently.

I didn't even have the chance to help her speak.

I wanted revenge.

And I knew how to get it too.

So long, Preach.

[MACHINERY BUBBLING AND ZAPPING]

Go with God.

[♪♪♪]

Please...

anything. Anything.

-Is she alive? -What do you think?

What about them?

They're consummate professionals.

Oh, Mrs. Harrison, may I introduce to

Lawrence and Uta.

First, we test Harrison's plasmid

for mutation.

Then, we begin the perfection process.

Okay?

[♪♪♪]

[DRILL WHIRRS]

Give me the hand.

Let's start with this.

HANS: I'm curious, Helena,

to whom are you gonna sell the plasmid, the Japanese?

Hmm?

The Defense Department.

[GROANS]

The Defense Department?

[♪♪♪]

Let's spray the head next, huh?

No, no. It's best that we wait for two hours.

See what happens.

Hmm?

Then, we renegotiate our contract with NORDKEM, hmm?

Come.

[♪♪♪]

[FINGER SNAPPING]

Stripes?

Stripes?!

Anyone?

[BLENDER WHIRRS]

Relax, Helena.

We'll begin production first thing in the morning.

Provided there aren't any unexpected interferences.

[BLENDER POWERS DOWN]

Your first installment.

Congratulations.

Something he said, Harrison.

Down there.

About killing your husband.

Oh, that.

[SCOFFS] I wasn't even there.

Little Harrison started this terrible fire.

Well, actually, it was all my husband's fault.

He--he went completely mad.

Oh, Helena.

He found out I was negotiating

to sell the plasmid behind his back.

Is that alright?

Yes, that's alright.

[♪♪♪]

[SQUELCHING SOUNDS]

HARRISON: Oh, jeez.

[SQUELCHING CONTINUES]

No.

[SCREAMING]

[SCREECHING]

Just stop it! Stop it! Stop it now!

[♪♪♪]

Please.

Let him go!

[GROANING]

Geez, it was signaling me!

[♪♪♪]

It's alright.

They know who's boss.

[PANTING]

-[ARM GRUNTING] -Shh. It's okay. It's okay.

It's Daddy. It's Daddy.

That's right.

It's Daddy.

What the hell's going on here?

What did you do to them?

I'm sorry. I didn't know. Just don't get me agitated.

They seem to know what I feel.

[PIPE CLATTERS]

-We've gotta wrangle them. -[SCOFFS]

I've got a plan,

and this is your chance to become a real soldier.

Otherwise, we'll never see Eve again.

Then think nice thoughts.

[♪♪♪]

HARRISON: I had become what I despised most.

A killer.

My new mutant arms had turned on my friends and killed them.

There was no one to blame except myself.

But I had no time for remorse or pity.

I had time for only one thing.

Eve.

[♪♪♪]

HARRISON: Come on, boys. I know you're in here.

[♪♪♪]

STRIPES: Okay, now, baby. Think beautiful thoughts now.

Yeah, think of sugar and spice and everything nice,

and, uh, ice cream and candy.

[♪♪♪]

[SCREAMS]

-[ARM SCREECHING] -It's okay. It's okay.

We're friends. We're friends.

Come on. Happy thoughts. Happy, happy.

Here we go, any time.

Oh, think of, oh...

You have to help me mobilize them now!

STRIPES: Where did you get these damn hands from anyway?!

-You don't have to be concerned about that. -Don't be concerned?!

Four people are dead!

The Preacher! The Preacher's genes, that's where I got them!

The Preacher?!

You told me the Preacher was a generic deficient!

That means looney tunes!

Precisely. That's why I used his genes.

I want these arms to be capable of anything.

You out of your damn mind!

[ARM SCREECHES]

Calm down, calm down!

They're trying to stop me for a punching bag, man!

No, no, no. They know who you are.

They'll take orders from you too.

What's the matter?

I can't.

Helena...

We have everything.

I don't.

I want him to forgive me.

I want him to come home to me and forgive me.

That is what I want, alright?

That is what I want.

Go ahead and stink up the whole place! Go ahead!

Get away from me! Get away from me!

I said away from me! You hear me? Get away from me!

Why?

[LAUGHS]

Why is this happening to me?! Why?!

I spent a fortune on this damn lab.

I put my body under this pathetic man

while he went through his obscene motives!

I ruined my figure having his child!

I waited years and years and years,

and what do I get?! What?!

What do I get?!

[BIG BAND MUSIC PLAYS]

[BOTH GASP AND GRUNT]

Get out of there.

We must get to the lab.

I told you he'd be back.
