Beyond Re-Animator Page #2

I should stay off it.

Hard to push in the clutch.

How about I drive you home?

Are you sure?

I'm putting you to trouble.

On a day like this,

it's no trouble.

Had yourself a big day, Moses.

Beat the hell out of 4 grown men

while having a heart attack.

How did you do that?

They gave you some medication.

What was it?

- I know why I'm here.

- Yes?

I'm dead, and this is Hell.

I'll show you what Hell is.

West!

You and me

have got to talk, man!

West!

West!

Sorry about the tofu...

I should know.

This pizza's great.

I've had a great time.

Great

The way you handled that

interview impressed me.

I did such a great job

I was thrown out.

State Penitentiary Progressive

Educational is so stupid.

Come on, don't give up.

Anything's possible.

See the possibilities

and seize the moment.

Go for it.

- "Go for it"?

- Yeah.

Okay, I'll "go for it".

What are you really

doing here?

"Institutional medicine".

Tell me about your

secret "I.M." research.

Of course.

I am investigating the effects of

institutionalization on life and death.

- Yes.

- Yeah.

Why do your residency

in the "joint"?

Really. Why, Howard?

As a kid, I saw my sister die.

I'm so sorry.

I never want to

feel helpless again.

I tried to resuscitate her.

I wanted to bring her back.

Who was helping you today?

Doctor Herbert West.

He's a prisoner but, he worked

at a university hospital.

He researched death as a disease.

One of his reanimation

experiments lost control.

The man went crazy... violent.

Like the man today?

And escaped

from the Morgue.

The morgue?

He broke into our house.

That expression

reminds me of Emily.

Your sister?

You're going?

- It's been a long day.

- Yeah.

Looks like your ankle is better.

Yeah.

Seize the moment?

Go for it.

You got everything.

Moses isn't doing so good.

We need lab. Space,

somewhere private.

He doesn't seem human.

I think this will do.

He's a monster.

He was the freshest

specimen we could find.

It's a problem.

It is a problem!

I want to help people, not

create mindless freaks!

Having second thoughts?

All medical research

requires risks.

If you don't see,

you shouldn't be here.

Soon I'll find a force to bring

order to that chaotic organism.

Away to restore

rational behaviour?

I can now accelerate the

testing phase of my current work.

With your help.

This work requires commitment

and full confidentiality.

You must tell no one.

- I'll walk?

- Lipstick on your collar.

Doctor Phillips, I'm going

to be leaving now.

What's that for?

Doctor Phillips.

Do you need anything?

Are you there?

I was afraid you weren't coming.

I was working late.

On what?

Nothing. Just clinic stuff.

What are you doing,

investigating me?

- No.

- Yeah.

I was wondering how

the man was doing.

He's fine.

Really?

Doesn't seem human anymore.

We shouldn't have...

You shouldn't have, what?

What's the matter?

The story I'm on.

I figured out some stuff,

but it's just speculation.

- You need hard facts.

- Yeah.

But to get them I'll

have to take some risks.

What do I do?

Play it safe, or "go for it"?

You've got to "go for it".

Really?

You got to take some chances.

That's what you're doing,

isn't it?

What's your new story about?

Can't tell you yet.

Secrets?

Every girl needs a few secrets.

It hurts so much.

I can't even spit, Doc.

I don't see anything.

Once they gave me

little red pills,

Vicodin, made me feel better.

Little red pills. Little red

tits.

- Take two at bedtime.

- How about now?

Can I have more?

- Today's the day, cabrn.

- Today's the day.

I'll see you in the yard.

- You're a dead man.

- Adead man.

Today's the day.

It worked.

Reschedule the afternoon.

But doctor...

Now. To test it.

On who?

My story isn't working,

it's too impersonal.

Something's missing.

And it's you. You're the key.

The key?

To what?

To understanding how

this prison works.

Everything is an extension

of your philosophy.

I'd like another look around.

Afterwards I'll need you for

an in-depth interview.

I'd be happy to do the interview

- if...

- If?

If we do it over dinner tonight.

You get to know

the man behind the office.

After my tour?

Consider Miss Olney

my personal guest.

Yes, sir.

And give her the tour, again.

Why did you come back?

To finish a profile on you.

Really?

You are a fascinating man.

You're just saying that.

Tonight then.

Did you know

the human body loses

3 to 4 grms. Of weight

at the moment of death?

I heard about that.

A rodent loses much less,

but the ratio is the same.

The cerebral cortex is the site

of an extraordinary

neuro-electric phenomenon.

Hold him.

Hold him

Tightly.

Ratty is not going

to be very happy.

This phenomenon,

NPE, Nano-Plasmic Energy,

is not just in the brain.

It moves throughout the nervous system,

and is present in every cell of the body.

Hold him a little.

Classic post-reanimation.

Confused, violent.

Like all my other

subjects to date.

This brought him back

from the dead.

But this will give him true life.

What is that?

The Nanoplasm,

from a living donor rat.

Donor rat?

Now hold him.

Completely still.

This is the catalyst.

This is the force that tells

the cells how to grow.

It works!

Laura.

Doctor Phillips, how are you?

Why are you here?

Just, "going for it".

- That the way to the "hole"?

- Certainly is.

I would really like

to talk to him.

Not a chance.

My Editor gives

expenses for stories.

How much are we talking here?

The cell door has to be locked.

I'll be back in ten minutes.

What if I need you?

Do I call?

Not a sound.

No one can know you're in there.

He can't hurt you

in that straight jacket.

Look who's coming.

She's going to see Moses.

Why else would she do there?

All right, give him to me.

Any last words pendejo?

Ratty?

What happened?

I gave him his pet back.

Are you gonna let him go?

Give Daddy a kiss.

What's wrong, Ratty?

Hi. I'm Laura Olney,

I'm a journalist.

I want to talk about what

happened the other day.

Do you remember what

Dr. West did to you?

Did you die from

that heart attack?

Can I check your pulse?

Mother of God, forgive me.

What happened to you?

- Hungry!

- Sergeant Moncho!

Thank God you're here.

You must think I'm an idiot.

No I don't. Really.

You're a very intelligent man.

Fascinating.

- I don't like people lying to me.

- I wasn't lying.

Explain!

Give me that!

He attacked me.

He's dead.

You're right.

What are you doing?

I murdered him.

That's what they'll say.

You know the cretins out there.

It was self-defence.

You had no choice.

I'll swear to it.

Get down. You're going

to have to convince me.

Lower. Bark.

- What?

- You heard me! Bark!

Am I the most fascinating

man you've met?

Yes.

And you'd do anything for me?

Yes, sir.

Show me.

You bribed a guard, came in and

freed a dangerous prisoner. He

got excited...

- I wanna get Moses up here.

- Why?

To put this in him.

You've got more?
