ReGenesis s04e12 Episode Script

Carl? I heard about the young woman.
Were you able to correct her condition? Do you know her? I'd like to be kept up-to-date on her progress.
Yeah, you and who else? When did you start working for Roth? Take your hand off me.
If humans follow the same timeline as the monkeys, in a week, possibly two, Nina may begin to experience the same violent tendencies.
We need to destroy the stem cells that activated Nina's Jacobson's organ.
Pressurized oxygen gets into Bob's brain, could cause oxidative stress, that could make the Herpes virus pop out of the DNA.
We can kill it with the antivirals.
It's gone.
I'm sorry.
Nina's three months pregnant.
When I was a kid, I got sick.
David, what happened to me the baby It can't be mine.
When I was nine, they thought I had testicular cancer.
But what I really had was cysts.
- Okay - During the surgery, they figured out that it wasn't cancer.
But there were complications.
How bad? My semen contains very few sperm.
I never knew how few until Dr.
Bruen checked.
What was the count? Zero.
I'm completely sterile.
I'm sorry, Bob.
David This pregnancy is very, very confusing.
Here.
Thank you.
You're welcome.
Look, it's It's really not that big a mystery, Bob.
I mean, you were gone a long time and maybe Nina probably thought she was never gonna see you again, she got lonely.
- Along comes another guy - She would never cheat on me, David.
Okay then Maybe somebody made a mistake.
That happens.
We'll get Carlos to get a genetic sample of the fetus from Dr.
Bruen.
We'll compare it to your DNA.
Find out for sure if you're the father.
The baby is mine.
Of course, Bob.
Did you get the test results for the CDC back yet? - Oh, sorry.
- Do you remember my friend Jack Bowden? - Africa, right? - That's right.
David, greetings from Moldova.
- You're kidding.
- WHO was called in on a mystery illness - in a city called Birku.
- Over 200 dead.
They sent me with a team of 4 doctors but - we're getting absolutely nowhere.
- Symptoms? Healthy people are suddenly bleeding from their mouth and their nose.
They're feverish, having difficulty breathing, then come convulsions, paralysis, coma and death.
How quickly? Couple of days.
Jesus.
Any guesses? We've been going round in circles on this one.
Now we're wondering if the equipment and lab techs here are so substandard.
And you guys are the best.
Riddlemeyer would have an aneurysm if he caught us working outside our jurisdiction.
He'll be fine with it.
Everyone wants to keep Moldova away from Russia, so Got to show them we can help our friends.
Okay, send us samples.
Blood, urine, all you got, we'll see what we can do.
That would be great, David.
Carlos, take care of yourself, okay? - Alright.
Bye, Jack.
- Thanks, guys.
- Thank you, David.
- No problem.
Any news? Am I the father? We'll get results soon, Bob.
Come on, Bob.
Let's give Carlos some space.
Come on.
- You okay? - Sure.
Sure.
It's taking him long time.
- He's just being thorough.
- It's just a routine test! Nothing is routine for Carlos.
So, am I the father? More complicated than that, Bob.
- What I'm trying to say is - Just say it.
Your baby's a clone.
Say again.
A clone of you, Bob.
ReGenesis Team NorBAC Anyone, Bbsiocnarf, Dapitch666 Linwelin, Michvanilly Transcript Version NoTag 1.
0 - Did you retest? - That is the retest.
Guthrie BioLab do more paternity tests than anyone else in Canada.
They got the same results I did.
I don't believe this.
A team in Oregon was successful cloning primate cells.
But they implanted 100 embryos into 50 macaque monkeys, - they didn't get one birth.
- David, you've always said whoever succeeded at human cloning would do it under the radar.
Under the radar, not right under our noses.
There's only one person who could have done this.
Olivier Roth.
- I have to go now.
- Are you okay? Bob? I need some air.
Hey, Bob.
What's wrong with Bob? We need to find Roth.
I've been in touch with all the US Intelligence agencies.
Three words: Osama Bin Laden.
I want you to find him.
Sure.
Can I take off my coat off first? Nina? You home? Hey, here you are I went to the hospital, why didn't you call me? I would have picked you up.
It's gone.
My Jacobson's Organ.
But that's what we wanted.
But you can't have a functioning Jacobson's organ and your sanity.
You did.
My Asperger's somehow It filtered I don't know The monkeys couldn't, you couldn't Anyway, I don't have it now either.
Don't you miss it? Yeah.
All my life, I've felt isolated.
Well Asperger's, by definition, is isolation.
Then you know the feeling of finally realizing people are communicating all the time.
There's this whole conversation of pure emotion.
And I was in on it.
For the first time, I understood other people.
And now it's gone.
- Our son will have it.
- Genetically that's not Our son will have it because Our son is my clone.
Clone? When? How?! Roth must've done it when he activated your Jacobson's organ.
Nina, did you know anything about this? No.
Of course not.
If I did, I would have told you.
I knew you wouldn't be involved in something like this.
Will our baby be okay? - There's so much that can go wrong - I promise I will do everything I can.
I never thought I'd have a baby I was hoping you'd say that.
Hey Carlos.
- What's all that? - Samples from Moldova.
Where's David? I think he's in his office.
Are you okay, Bob? - Hi.
- Hey.
I got your message.
Yeah, come on in.
How you doing? How's Nina? She's good.
Everything's alright.
Good.
Bob we have to talk about We have to talk about your clone.
You mean my son.
No, I mean your clone, Bob.
Come on.
A son is where two people mix their DNA and create something genetically unique, to evolve the species.
A clone is static.
No.
He'll have his Jacobson's organ awakened.
It's evolution, David.
Radical, but it's still quintessentially Darwinian.
The first human clone.
A million mistakes could've been made.
- Except Roth's team got it right.
- Yeah, he and his team have a great track record.
All the tests on the baby are normal.
Do you want a list of the things that can go wrong - for which there is no test? - You have to have faith, David.
- Faith in science.
- "Faith in science"? Science has nothing to do with faith.
Science is about facts.
Okay, so, fact: clones are more prone to disease.
Fact: it's been shown that clones have tendency to age faster.
So even if he's healthy, he could just end up dying young.
Bottom line is what's in Nina is nothing more than a spin the wheel, freak show, science experiment.
Don't do this to yourself.
Don't do this to Nina.
You have to consider termination.
Nina and I have already discussed it.
And what Mr.
Roth did was a horrible thing.
Not asking us was inexcusable.
But to improve the species permanently, he needed to do this.
So in a funny way, I thank him.
For impregnating your girlfriend? Most guys would be a little pissed off at that! Did Nina really have no idea about this? So Roth just what? He knocked her out and knocked her up? There's a word for that, Bob, you think about it.
- I promised Nina I'd be right home.
- I want to talk to her.
Why don't the two of you come over for dinner tonight? - No, she doesn't want to talk about it.
- I just want to ask her some questions.
Neither do I.
Bob.
David.
I have something.
Took you long enough.
How's Bob handling things? Sometimes I think the human species is genetically programmed to look at the bright side of any disaster.
You never met my grandmother.
Okay, so Roth.
I've discovered that he has this corporate jet that he uses to fly down to the Turks & Caicos.
- He's got a place there? - An island.
- Is he there now? - I don't know.
- Well, Mayko.
- Okay, hold on second.
Look.
Whenever he comes or goes, he has to file a flight plan - with customs and immigration.
- Good.
Get that information.
- I got that information.
- Is he there? It's more complicated than that.
Here, look at this.
US satellite photos of the island.
They're taken every time KH-13 flies over.
- K-what? - Keyhole-13, - a spy satellite over Cuba.
- The US spies on Roth? Wouldn't you? Anyway, Turks & Caicos are on the same trajectory as Cuba, so every time they pass over.
US spies on the guy, and Riddlemeyer can't find him.
I knew that fucking vampire was full of shit.
Riddlemeyer works for Riddlemeyer.
Okay, photos.
Is he there? 'Cause I can be down there in 3 hours.
It's definitely his jet.
It's going to take me another day to confirm that's him beside it.
Fuck What? Lilith! Hey, how are you? Everything alright? That's amazing.
What are you gonna study? Molecular biology or molecular biology? Hang on, there's somebody at the door.
Come on in! The door's open.
Listen, I want to talk to you more about this.
So, I'll call you back.
I'm really proud of you.
I love you.
Nina.
Where's Where's Bob? He's at home.
You're putting a lot of pressure on him.
Well, a good friend asks the tough questions nobody else will.
A good friend respects the answers he hears.
Bob is trying to come to terms with all of this.
David, what he needs is your help.
And what we need is your support.
- I'm the one carrying the baby.
- No, Nina, you're the one carrying the clone.
Bob's clone that Roth put inside you.
- I didn't know about the clone.
- Yeah? You and how many other women? What, you think you're carrying the only clone? Here's what I think I think after Roth realized that his dream of spreading empathy by waking up people's Jacobson's organs turned out to be a fucking nightmare, he gave up on it.
Just dropped it.
But not before coming up with another plan.
If he couldn't give us empathy individually, he was gonna just change the entire human species by breeding empathy into us using Bob's clones.
Why play street craps, when you can buy the whole fucking casino, right? - How many women had this procedure? - I don't know what he's done.
- You haven't been in touch with him? - Look, I don't know what Roth is up to.
All I know is, I'm having a baby, that's what I'm concerned about.
I hope we never see Roth again! And if this keeps up, I'm gonna start hoping we don't see you.
So, preliminary samples from Moldova all came back negative.
No signs of a known infectious agents: viral or bacterial.
- What's in the charts? - Like Jack said, fever, difficulty breathing, convulsions, paralysis.
That could be anything.
I checked for Japanese encephalitis, diphtheria.
- Poisonous plants? Spider bites? - All negative.
- Parasites? - I tested for the ones I think of.
Maybe something in the environment.
A poison? The mass spec didn't show anything.
But the sudden onset of symptoms would suggest it's viral.
Jack said there was some bleeding, maybe hemorrhagic fever? All negative.
This is very difficult to do No argument here.
I'll see if I can't get us some more data.
Okay.
- You get my message? - Yeah, what's up? Okay, good news is, Roth was on his island.
Bad news is, he left it 24 hours ago and landed in New York.
That narrows it down.
And here's the interesting thing.
Over the last three months he's had this revolving door of people visiting him.
- Like, five, ten at a time.
- Mostly women? No, mostly suits.
I've identified some predominantly politicians.
Big shots, eh? So what are they up to? I don't know, David, but I know who you can ask.
Nina Sure looks like her.
Yeah.
What about that flight plan Roth's got to file with customs and immigration? - We know for sure? - All the names are aliases, - we have to rely on the photos.
- Ah, shit Now Roth's plane picks people up in Miami, okay? Look at the date.
It's the It's the weekend that the terrorists She told Bob she was going to visit her father in Michigan.
And I found her on an Air Canada flight to Miami.
And I'm pretty sure the woman next to her is Sheila Woo.
Why is that name familiar? She was on the team that did the primate cloning in Oregon.
Last night, Nina told me she had no idea what Roth was up to.
Here she is three a a half weeks ago, next to a cloning expert in Miami.
Find Woo, ask her what the hell she's doing.
David.
What? It's important.
Jack just sent this.
Carlos, David, I wanted to thank you for helping.
We finally figured it all out.
It's Japanese encephalitis.
We've already started treatments and are seeing results.
So, thanks again, guys.
Okay, so what? It can't be Japanese encephalitis.
First of all, there's no treatment for it.
And I tested for the virus.
It came back negative.
- What are you telling me for, tell him.
- That's my point, David.
Jack would know that.
I think he's trying to send us some kind of message.
What? I don't know, but he's not answering his phone.
And no one's heard from him or any of the other doctors in over 24 hours.
What do you want to do? - I wanna go.
- To Moldova?! Something's not right here.
I think Jack's in some kind of trouble.
Make it quick! - And keep in touch! - Thank you.
Yes? Nina.
Carlton Riddlemeyer.
Perhaps Olivier Roth has mentioned me? I think it's best if you invite me in.
Have you spoken to Olivier recently? No.
Have you tried to call him? He's hard to reach.
You're about to have the world's first human clone, and he's hard to reach? Nina, you're going to be the most controversial woman on this planet.
Who's gonna be there to help you? To protect you? Bob and I will be fine.
Bob? You have absolutely no idea what's coming, do you? The legal, ethical, political battles? I can help you, Nina.
Mr.
Roth is gonna do that.
Is he? We should take a little trip to see Mr.
Roth.
Afterwards, I think you might just change your position.
- I don't know - Bob.
- It's a funny angle.
- It's her.
Maybe.
We have proof that she flew from Toronto to Miami when she said she was flying to Michigan, and we have proof that Roth's plane flew to Miami the same day.
Presumably to pick her up.
Even if she met with Mr.
Roth So? So she lied to you, Bob.
What else has she been lying about? Maybe she knew she was carrying your clone all along.
All I ever wanted was to have a child and never thought I could have one.
This is the best thing ever.
And don't say it's not a real child.
Fine, but we need to talk to her.
She should tell us everything she knows.
Yeah, she should bring us to Roth so we can find out what he's up to.
Right? Bob? I love her so much, David.
Alright.
We'll talk to her.
But please be civil.
Please? Let me do the talking.
Sometimes you come on a bit strong.
Fine.
Nina? Nina? She's not here, David.
This isn't like her.
She wouldn't just leave.
Maybe she went out to buy some pickles.
She's gone.
She's gone.
Don't panic.
Call her cell.
She'd never leave without this.
Unless she went somewhere where she didn't wanna be reached.
Dr.
Serrano.
- Emil Lupu.
- Thank you for seeing me, Sir.
- How may I help you? - Jack Bowden is an old friend of mine.
He's asked NorBAC to assist in a disease outbreak in Birku.
News must travel slowly.
It's been solved.
I heard.
The thing is, I can't seem to find Jack or any of the other doctors.
They're not at the hotel, have not returned home.
No one seems to know where they are.
On another project, perhaps? I was wondering if perhaps they had returned to Birku? No.
I would like to go there.
Monitor how things are going.
Look.
There's 412 people dead.
A thousand people sick.
The town has been sealed until we are sure that the outbreak has been extinguished.
The problem I'm having is that I cannot find Japanese encephalitis in any of the blood or tissue samples that were sent to me.
The problem has been dealt with.
We're done.
The symptoms do not match the disease.
Our doctors assure us that it's Japanese encephalitis.
And I have full confidence in their assessment.
Sir, NorBAC is respected throughout the world.
So is Moldova.
Well, did he let you in? - Yeah.
- So you see the problem.
I told him we could help him.
- He wouldn't listen.
- It's too late for Roth.
- It's not too late for us.
- What do you mean? You're carrying a human clone that will have its Jacobson's organ intact.
The research and methodology of such an accomplishment, well, is invaluable.
- We didn't do it for the money.
- Of course not.
You do know where the research is, don't you? Even if I did, why would I tell you? We both want a new future.
Aren't you supposed to be working on Roth? - I'm working on it right now.
Look.
- Hey, what's this? You won't like it, it's organic and vegetarian.
You're right.
- Hey, Sheila Woo, the cloning expert.
- Yeah.
She was killed in a car accident.
How convenient.
Come on in, Bob, it's open.
Nina, come in.
I'm just looking for Bob.
He's been looking for you everywhere.
Where you been? I needed some time to think things out You were right, David, about everything.
It was all a horrible, terrible mistake.
Roth the stem cells, the clone.
I had I had an abortion.
Look, I'm sorry.
But you did the right thing.
I worry about how he's gonna take it.
He'll be happy to see you.
Will you be happy to see him? I love him, David.
Sure.
I saw Roth.
- What? Where? - He needs help.
This is the address of the hotel.
In Hoboken.
Under the name Hughes.
Cute.
Hang on.
Shit.
I gotta take this.
Don't go anywhere.
- What? - It's me.
- Hey, did you find Jack? - No.
The police claim he's a sex tourist on a bender, that he's gonna show up in a few days.
It's complete bullshit.
What are you certain of? I went back and retested the original samples - and I noticed something weird.
- What? The results from all the different patients were identical.
Don't tell me you're dealing with clones too.
So I did some genetic testing and confirmed that all blood, tissue and urine samples came from one individual.
- It's a snow job.
- Exactly.
Troops shut down all the roads into Birku.
Telephone lines are down.
Get the fuck out of there.
Don't worry.
The embassy knows I'm here.
- Carlos! - I can't leave until I find Jack.
Okay, I'll keep you posted.
Hello? Carlos! This is the address of the hotel.
In Hoboken.
Under the name Hughes.
Cute.
Hang on.
Shit.
I gotta take this.
Don't go anywhere.
David, I'm sorry I'm Bob! Nina.
I'm sorry.
I left without saying goodbye.
- It's okay.
You're here now.
- We have to go.
- Go? Why? - I'll explain on the way.
- Nina, what's going on? - You have to trust me.
- You lied to me before.
- Bob! Listen.
I worked at one of Roth's labs.
He wanted to make the world a better place.
So I agreed to have a clone.
Your clone.
But that was before I ever met you.
- You should have told me.
- You're right.
I should have.
We need to find David.
He'll know what to do.
Where is he? I told David I had an abortion.
I didn't.
He'll never appreciate what's been done.
A child who can feel another's pain.
- And happiness.
- You had it, I had it.
We both know how important it is.
I just don't know, Nina.
This child inside me has two parents.
We're the only ones who truly love him.
So, where are we going? Somewhere where no one can find us.
And have our baby, and who knows, maybe we can live happily ever after.
Come on.
Okay.
Nina? - Carlos? - It's Mayko.
I got something for you.
- What? - You better come in.
No, I gotta get to the airport to catch the 1st flight to Newark.
- I found Roth.
- You'll wanna see this, believe me.
On my way.
Hello.
Mayko, I don't have much time.
I need you to do me a huge favour.
Speak.
That KH-13 satellite you were telling me about, does one go over Moldova? Or nearby.
There're old Soviet military sites all over that region that NATO still monitors, why? I need sat photos of Birku.
I can't get anyone to take me.
There are rumors of something going on up there.
People are scared.
What is going on over there? Does David know about this? Please do it.
I just heard from Carlos in Moldova.
I told him to get out of there.
What's he doing? - Dunno, being Carlos.
- What about Roth? OK, Roth's visitors.
Politicians.
Top 20 are the ones I can identify with certainty.
The Palestinian PM Pakistani General.
The Venezuelan Foreign Minister.
Russian Defense Minister.
Congolese rebel leader? He's got all the world's hotspots covered.
What the hell is he up to? I'm assuming he's not impregnating their wives with Bob's clone.
If this helps: the visits began right after we found Bob.
Fuck What? Son of bitch! What did you do to him? I have enormous respect for Dr.
Melnikov and his accomplishments.
You mean his Jacobson's organ.
- You harvested his stem cells, right? - At his insistence.
He was a mess, you took advantage of him.
Unfortunately, his work to awaken the Jacobson organ in others was unsuccessful.
- No shit.
- When I heard he was injured - Because of a hole you cut in his head.
- I wanted to make sure he had everything he needed.
I'm telling you the truth.
I am not the enemy here, Dr.
Sandstrà m.
He didn't give up.
He didn't drop it.
This isn't about clones.
This son of a bitch has gone ahead and activated - these people's Jacobson's organ.
- My God.
So the Russian Defense Minister whose finger's on the button of the world's second largest arsenal of nukes may be about to go insane? How the fuck are we gonna get him in a hyperbaric chamber? Roth knows him.
Maybe he can do it.
After the first 20, there're 82 more names of people I think were there but I can't say for certain.
You know what? Screw it.
I'll get the real list from Roth.
- Carlos Serrano.
- Hey, Carlos, I sent you some photos an hour ago.
Yeah, I just got them.
I'm looking at them now.
- It's unbelievable.
- Look, I'm no expert, - but it sure looks like - They were massacred.
Certainly not a Japanese encephalitis outbreak.
No.
It's dangerous knowledge, Carlos.
How are you gonna play it? I don't know.
I have to think about it.
- Let me call you back.
- Okay.
What the hell are you doing? I have news.
We found your friends.
The doctors.
Where are they? In jail.
- Why? - They were found guilty.
Of what?! When was the trial? - They will be executed in three days.
- This is crazy! Those are WHO doctors investigating an outbreak! Doctors.
Agitators.
Interfering in the internal affairs of the Republic of Moldova.
Like you.
Are you a doctor or a spy? And here's the answer.
Just trying to figure out what happened in Birku.
That's all.
- Simply a reminder to my people.
- Reminder of what? That my benevolence cannot be questioned.
Roth.
Come in, David.
Come in.
The stem cells.
The empathy.
Nothing worked.
It's all a mess.
How many world leaders got Bob's stem cells? What about Bob's clones.
How many of those are out there? Just one.
I tried to make the world a better place.
Roth? Roth! We can still stop this.
The world leaders.
What are their names? Everything I do turns to shit.
Everyone I touch, dies.
My son-in-law I lost my own daughter.
We can save everyone who got the stem cells.
- Too late.
- No.
We put them in the hyperbaric chamber.
- Treat them.
You too.
Just like Nina.
- Then my friend will be gone.
Where'd he go? Roth.
Stay with me.
Roth! - The names! - It's too late.
- What do you mean? - The storage facilities The labs Head office.
Everything.
I had it all burned.
- Why?! - Riddlemeyer.
I had to stop him! I had to destroy it all.
He was trying to steal my research.
Whoa! Hey! Roth! Take it easy! Take it easy, alright? Please.
Just put that down.
Alright? Put it down.
No! Wait! - What are you doing here, man? - Hey Jack.
- You okay? - Yeah.
Not really.
Come sit down.
Watch your head.
- What the fuck is going on, Carlos? - Emil Lupu.
Minister of Health, he cleansed Birku.
What do you mean "cleansed"? Gas.
Sarin gas, I think.
There are 10,000 people in that city.
Not anymore.
He was supposed to be progressive.
Western educated What the hell happened? I don't know.
I don't know, Jack.
Where you going? You aren't gonna believe what happened.
You didn't hear the news?{ - No, Carlos.
He was arrested.
- What?! I'm on my way to a meeting with FA and the Mexican Ambassador.
Maybe you should come.
- Did you call Riddlemeyer? - He's upstairs.
Waiting for you.
The list of world leaders.
I'm up to 91.
Check out number 89.
- Who's Emil Lupu? - Moldovan Health Minister.
Shit.
- Where the hell have you been, Carl? - Trying to get answers for you.
- Like fuck you have.
I found Roth.
- Bad? - Dead.
- Bob and Nina, where are they? - I have no idea.
- This cloning research up in smoke - We've important things to worry about.
the same procedure as Nina and Roth.
Roth reactivated all the Jacobson's organs.
We don't keep them from going insane, who knows what they'll do to the planet.
Alright, I'll get my people on it.
But first, you'll help me, right? Bob and Nina are carrying the most important breakthrough in the evolution of mankind.
I need that information.
This is about money for you? - Jesus, the world is on the brink here! - I'm trying to strike a bargain.
There's Nothing to bargain with, nothing's left! There's Bob and Nina.
I want them.
Fuck you.
No.
Fuck you.
How are you gonna get to these world leaders without me? I put you on a No Fly List and you're not able to leave Toronto.
You need me.
David! Sandstrà m! - Hello, David.
- Hello, Bob.
What are you doing here? Nice to see you too, Nina.
Still pregnant, eh? - We need to get going.
- Hang on a sec, just cut me some slack, alright? You're not the easiest people to find.
You look tired, David.
Bob, let's take a walk.
We really have to get going, David.
- Bob? - No! It's okay.
I won't be long.
Human cloning is illegal.
In some parts of the world.
- So is abortion.
- You know what you're doing is wrong.
Both morally and ethically.
- I'm coming to terms with it.
- Coming to terms with what? The whole notion of an empathic human race is nothing more - than a bad science fiction movie.
- No, it's not.
You ever read a little book called Frankenstein? Nina and I, we're not giving up on this.
When our boy grows up, he'll have within him the power to spreading gifts - throughout the world - You've already got Johnny Appleseed knocking up the entire planet.
Don't be crude, David.
You're talking about my son.
At least come back with me, okay? Come back to the lab.
I have to go, David.
Bob, I am not gonna let you do this.
Yes, you are! What have you done?
