End this thing with Bethany or I will.
You really do care about her, don't you? Have to meet all the way out here? I'm so glad you could join us.
No! Tommorow loved ones will return as clones.
Memories will be downloaded and sold.
Androids will walk among us.
Tommorow is now.
Forbidden Science 1x13 Home I used to be Mrs.
Bethany Turner.
Now I am Ms.
Bethany Montrose.
For the last 6 months I've been an executive for 4Ever Innovations.
It was a chance to start over after a bad marriage.
A new beginning.
At least that's what I thought.
Like everything else at 4Ever, nothing was ever what it seem.
But the roads end here.
Time to find out the truth.
Time to discover who I am.
So, this is my kind of game.
What the hell! Cuban? Sweet! You keep this up and I'll have to burn a new.
Loser! Let's see it Take it.
Loser.
Chip, please.
-What's this? You cheating? -What? I have absolutely no idea where those came from.
T-shirt, please.
You got to be freakin kiddin me! I could get used to this whole winning thing.
I'm sure it's a new experience.
This is so wrong on so many levels.
What are you frowning about? I'm the one with the brand in the forehead.
You win some, you lose some.
You won oncelet's not make it a habit or anything.
Is something wrong? Oh no, of course not.
I just can't bellieve that Colin shut down the program so quickly.
This again? -It didn't work, someone died! -And where is the body? Why wouldn't Colin let us do an autopsy? We are talking about a microchip that can download a person entire life memories in seconds.
The aplications are through the roof, and you tell me why Colin suddenly go sentimental -over one dead clone? -Listen It's late, you can play Sherlock Holmes tommorow? But Come to bed.
Colin will still be around in the morning.
It's done.
Colin is dead.
You sound unhappy.
I thought you were close to him once.
Only as close as you wanted me to be.
What's the matter? It's a little late for second thoughts.
Not second thoughts.
Regrets.
About Bethany.
I gave her a plausible life, a challenging past with a promising future.
The job at 4Ever should've given her confidence, made her strong, instead she grew dependant on someone else.
There's a difference between dependant and in love.
Not in my experience.
So, Bethany didn't follow your little path.
Maye she's more human than you think.
Poor Colin.
I guess he had a heart afterall.
He made his coice.
And Bethany? The experiment is over.
She's coming home.
-Like you really know what's going on with us! -Bethany, Bethany.
I sent you flowers because I love you.
-You never sent me flowers! -Yes, I do! The secretary Is this what you remember? Or only what you think you remember? Adrian? You are not Adrian, are you? Think of me as an echo of him.
A guiden source.
I don't understand.
You starting to.
You just don't want to believe it.
That's why I'm here.
This is a dream.
I'm dreaming.
The past is alot like a dream.
You so sure its real, until suddenly you wake up and remember the truth.
She's awake! Rough night? -What time is it? -10.
30.
Don't worry, it's Saturday.
-Did you see Colin at the office? -No, I thought he might be up here.
Not that its any of my bussines, but, are you two -like, living together up here now? -No.
Yes, I don't know! I take it things are going well then.
Great I think.
It's hard to say.
He can be so open and vulnareble one moment, and the next he's completely withdrawn.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I just feel like -he know something that I don't.
-You think he's keeping secrets? Colin keeps secrets? No So, what happen to Level 6? I noticed you stop obsessing about it right around the time you start "working late" up here.
It was just a military contract.
Colin had it canceled months ago.
Memory replacement, with some bug thing.
It was gross, but it wasn't a conspiracy.
Where is Bethany, and what have you done with her? -What? You saying I've changed? -No, I'm saying Look, I don't know what I'm saying.
What do I know about anything? I'm the girl who couldn't commit because I grew in a test tube.
Speaking of which I told David about You know -My being a clone, and everything.
-And? He's fine with it! And more importantly I think I'm fine with it too.
It took a while, I finally realize I'm flesh and blood, just like everyone.
-A human.
-You were the only one who ever doubted that.
I'm handing in my resignation.
What? Why? Colin ended the Gold Chip initiative, and that was I was here for.
It's over.
-Julia, don't leave.
I'll talk to Colin.
-No, that's just it.
He's right in ending the program.
I'm glad.
A clone A person is dead because of something I created.
I just feel like there's more to live than just spending all my time in the lab.
Stephanie White was a scientist, not me I I want a change, that's all.
There's nothing I can say, is there? -You could wish me luck.
-Of course I do.
Thanks.
Everything shows green.
Nothing out of ordinary.
Especially nothing overload the synaptic function.
You realize it's Saturday, right? Look, could you hand me one of those blank disk on the cupboard, hun.
Did you just call me "hun"? No.
"Hun", as in "honey".
No, defenitely I didn't callou that.
Here you go, "honey".
Now, if Colin finds out that you make a copy Just relax.
Show a little back bone.
Well, if we get fired, at least we can spend Monday at home.
In bed.
This is what I get for falling for a dork.
-You wanted to see me? -We have a problem.
I'll take care of it.
Actually I was thinking of sending someone else.
Someone I know.
No, no.
I've called everywhere.
It's like Colin just vanished.
What do you mean "What I want you to do"? You are security! You should have the surveilance tape from the last day! I want everything you have! Everything! Hi Wow.
Hun You really look great, but I beg you, I really have to work on this chip while I still have a fresh mind in my head.
You call that begging? You can beg better than that.
Go away! Oh, shit! Oh, Bethany.
Hi.
-Bad time? -Yes! No, cof course not.
Come on in.
So, What's up? Someone illegaly download the Gold Chip schematics.
Oh, right Sorry, just, what Colin saying about a clone died from the memory overload, just doesn't add up.
Be that as it may, I'm gonna need to take it back.
All right, just give me a second.
Wow, Colin really did pick the right girl for VP, huh? Anyone home? Fuck me blind! Bethany.
Don't be frightened.
They were not your family, neither was Colin.
-Was? -Come with me.
Not so fast, bitch! Jesus What the hell happened? Whatever it is, it's not a clone.
An android? Somekind, maybe.
I never see anything like it.
It's organic, but the brain artificial.
Wait, you see something right there.
L6.
What? -What did you say? -L6.
As in Level 6? Do you mind You don't actually think you're gonna Cut me.
Do it! Forget it Oh God.
I'm just glad you came by when you did, Bethany.
Whatever this thing is, it got the strenght of five men.
Yeah, or three women.
Why did you stop by, anyway? Colin is missing.
Iw as hoping if you could take a look at this for me.
A video surveilance from outside Colin's penthouse.
Sure.
Wait, wait, go back.
Senator Montgomery? When was this? Time index puts it around three in the afternnon yesterday.
Colin didn't mention she was stoping by.
Well, is that so surprising? I mean, with the whole ex-girlfriend thing I guess I read about it.
-Where do you think you going? -i'm going to find out what happen to Colin.
We should probably call the police.
That was the responsible thing to do.
But I mean it whatever, it's dead.
Yeah.
They just give it to people like us to examine, anyway.
So its better to just skip the middle man.
Yeah, It's practically our civic duty.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Ash's autopsy in the first "Alien"? I knid of love you, you know? Adrian.
What is it? Cindy.
She is I think Cindy is dead.
Bethany, I've been expecting you.
Please, come in.
-Where is Colin? -Dead.
Would you like a drink? Looks like I could use one.
What do you mean? Colin is not you you killed him? No, not me.
One of your sisters, Cindy.
That's what you like to call each other: sisters.
I guess it makes you feel more human, or something.
I am human.
Ah, that.
No, you're just the final model on the line.
You can bleed, you feel pain, but you can't die.
At least not from old age.
Don't believe me? Ask yourself If you want to live forever, What would you do? Download into a clone, like Julia.
Clones grow old.
They wither away just like the rest of us.
But an andriod never ages.
If a person, a real person, downloaded all of their experience, all of their memories into a perfectly machine faxcimile them self, well, they'll be practically immortal.
The next evolutionary step, if you will.
You are an experiment, Bethany.
Just like everything else at 4Ever.
One of Adrian's little pet project.
Adrian? He created 4Ever.
He created you.
No! We were married.
-We had a life -Please.
You didn't even exist a year ago.
The so called life that you think you just lived, it's just a cushion to help you cope.
Sure you don't want that drink now? I don't believe you! I know.
Fortunatetly Adrian put a fail save program.
It was supposed to guide you through REM sleep and, eventually, help you to find your way back to the truth.
But there is an easier way.
Like any machines Your program can simply reboot.
You aren't Adrian, are you? She's awake! Let's keep in touch.
Bethany.
It's so good to see you.
It's okay, don't be afraid.
Come in, please.
Welcome home.
