Of course.

So?

Nothing. It didn't work.

No PPM.

Maybe we need to do it more.

But you only slept with Siegfried once.

Christophine, you need to tell me

all the details of that.

That's not a good idea.

What?

Yeah. It's like this.

I don't understand.

The wall's over here.

We start like this,

and then we go down.

But it's like this.

No. We could do it like this,

but he was standing up.

That's okay.

I'll figure it out.

You couldn't make things simple,

like everyone else?

Thank you.

Well, I...

I tighten.

Go ahead.

I got it. Let go.

So I go...

like this?

Yeah.

That's it.

Very well.

I'm just a little...

I'll...

Is that okay?

Hold on, I'll push.

That's it. Just like that.

I'm letting you go.

Do you need help with your coat?

Nothing's happening. Aren't they supposed

to copulate all the time?

No. The genital cycle

is from three to six days.

Females accept

the males 10 to 18 hours per cycle.

It won't work.

We can't wait for them

to start menstruating.

We could spray some of the cages

with pheromones.

It would activate the sensors

of the olfactory epithelium.

Nadine, you're amazing.

I must remind everyone

to be gentle with the boxes.

Those creatures are alive.

Celine...

Celine is on protocol A.

They are six months old.

Very well. Thank you.

Do you see how they put

the boxes down?

Do you see?

Protocol A also?

They are six months, too?

Protocol A.

And they are...

Jean-Louis.

Protocol D, 2 years old.

Protocol A, six months old.

Albert. Hi. Protocol C.

I'm dizzy.

I'm dizzy.

Take a break, Nadine.

- It must be the fumes.

- Yeah.

You look younger like this.

Nadine, did you do something

to your hair?

It looks good.

It's just a new hairdo.

Did you notice the new coffee

I bought?

A lot.

- Professor? Professor?

- I don't have time, Siegfried.

But I have 30 newborns.

I can't handle it.

- We'll talk about it later.

- What am I supposed to do? Colonize?

Make them do your exercises.

Continue.

Oh, my God.

It's going well.

You want a rundown

for tomorrow's meeting?

Yes.

Did you succeed in isolating

the stimulus?

We're close.

We go in front of the Board

in 48 hours.

Close isn't enough.

See you later, Nadine.

See you later, Frederic.

Nadine?

Yes?

What...?

What do you think of Siegfried?

- Very involved in his work.

- He's nice.

No, I mean...

physically.

- Exciting.

- Normal.

When I say "exciting,"

I mean in general.

Personally, he's not doing it for me.

I always see beyond the physique.

I find the inner qualities

to be more exciting.

I fell asleep.

I can see that.

It's the last day.

Yes.

One last-ditch effort.

We can't do this.

You're not up for this.

We don't have much time.

Get some rest.

It's only 8 a.m.

We have all day.

I'll be back in an hour, okay?

Christophine?

Christophine?

Christophine, can you hear me?

Yes.

Do you feel better?

Professor.

I think there's something wrong.

Don't worry.

We did our best.

With the time and the conditions

we had.

I'll let the team know tomorrow.

I didn't find it.

I don't know what could be worse.

Are you still there?

Yes.

I couldn't hear you.

Do you want to say goodnight to Gaston?

No, thank you, professor.

I'm very tired.

I'm going to bed.

Of course.

You wanted to tell me something?

Not at all.

Have a good evening.

Christophine?

Yes?

Thank you.

Christophine.

Christophine, you are sad.

I can see that.

Don't be ashamed.

It will stay between us girls.

I know what frustration is.

I, too, had a relationship...

that remained platonic.

But it was also passionate

in a cerebral way.

I'm telling you to be patient.

He'll come to you.

No shame here.

I don't mind silence.

The key is to say

what the other wants to hear.

Nadine?

Yeah.

Think about it.

- Prick it. Prick it.

- Yes.

Go, go.

Yes!

Microscope. Go.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Yes.

Let's check. Let's check.

Go ahead.

Come here.

Go ahead.

And?

- Let's check again.

- Let's check again.

As you all know, I wanted

to do some parallel research

to increase

our chances of discovery.

I tried everything.

I followed through every theories.

I didn't overlook anything.

So, yes. The sexual intercourse

- helps the activation of the PPM.

- We found it.

I was explaining that the PPM

activates during copulation.

It also coincides

- with the presence of a sugar which...

- No.

The intercourse activates the PPM

because

it's during intercourse,

when it's done properly...

that the mouse has an orgasm.

That peak of pleasure is the stimulus.

The orgasm...

is the key to immunity.

I...

I don't understand

why yours did and...

Did you inject penguin DNA

and purified PPM to the males

and to the females?

Yes. Of course.

So...

your males weren't that good.

That's all.

Science is a miracle.

We are ready to discuss

our results with the Board.

We won!

That's crazy.

Hi, I'm not here, but leave me a message.

Thank you.

Christophine, this is my fifth message

in five minutes.

Call me back as soon as possible

on my cell or here, but call me.

Champagne in Lab 1.

Petit fours in Lab 2.

Petit fours in Lab 2.

Look at me.

Amazing.

Good.

Thank you.

The French research team

of Professor Quignard

just made the biggest discovery

of all time.

- -Human kind, and probably

for the next 2,000 years.

...To do now is to make them permanent.

The effect of the PPM is short.

The challenge Quignard is facing

is to stabilize the PPM effect

to make it permanent.

GASTON:

WHY DO WOMEN LOVE HIM?

Your coffee is good, Frederic.

It's nice to have it here.

The view...

makes it better.

I just got two-week sick leave notice

from Christophine's doctor.

Frederic.

I'm a woman.

Some things I can feel strongly.

- Philippe.

- What?

Nadine, Christophine will come back.

Did you call her?

She's not picking up.

Hi. I'm not here, but leave me a message.

Thank you.

Hello?

What's going on?

The transformation occurred overnight.

Those are the first mice

in which the PPM activated.

The back and front legs are webbing.

Their temperature is rising.

Those we put on ice are okay.

Frederic.

The injected DNA

gave them the donor's characteristics.

Do you know what this means?

The guinea pigs

developed webbed feet?

- And that they changed temperature?

- Yes.

Christophine, it's Professor Quignard.

Open up.

They gave me the key.

I'm coming in.

Christophine?

You're here.

I stayed home.

The ice is melting.

Sorry?

The ice is melting.

Can you get some from the freezer?

I faint every time I try to go.

Show me.

Please. I wanna see.

Your skin is decomposing.

You can't stay here.

You need to come to the icefield.

I'm not your guinea pig anymore.

If I leave you here, in a few days,

your skin will disintegrate.

I don't want to be

your guinea pig anymore.

I'll find a solution.

Let me help you.

You can't stay alone.

Soon it'll be impossible.

No more blood draws.

No more samples.

No witness.

I want you to know
