Claire, come on.

Will you at least hear me out?

Claire?

You're upsetting the girls.

Listen to me.

We need to leave here tonight, all right?

Claire? Claire, answer me!

Listen, there's nothing to worry about.

I found him, and I'm taking care

of it right now. Just...

you and the girls be ready to leave, okay?

What are you doing?

- Have you fed her?

- I was about to.

After you've fed her,

take her upstairs to Claire.

She has no soul!

She has no soul!

Do you know what that means?

Do you know what that means?

She has no soul!

You know what's next?

You know what's next?

You f***ing die!

Hey, hey, hey, what's going on?

Hey!

Can you help me pick this up, please?

Settle down.

Quiet!

Monster!

Listen to me.

I want you to stay here on the bed,

and do not move from this spot, okay?

- Do you hear me?

- Yes.

Are you staying? Are you getting down?

Victor?

James?

Stop!

It's okay, it's okay.

The girls! No, no, the girls.

Go get the girls!

No, no. Stay right there.

Stay right there.

No, no, no. Hey, hey,

you're doing good. Real good.

I just need... no, no, no, no!

Ethan, no!

Dr. Frankenstein, go to jail, go to hell!

Dr. Frankenstein, go to jail, go to hell!

Dr. Frankenstein, go to jail, go to hell!

Is this who you're afraid of?

Is this who you're afraid of?

You think she doesn't have a soul?

I promise you,

she's closer to God than any of you!

What does it mean to be human?

We are flesh and blood.

We are living, breathing organisms.

When we talk about changing ourselves,

from my perspective,

we talk about altering

our genetic structure, our biology.

And we're understanding life

at an incredibly rapid rate now,

so much so that we are beginning

to be able to intervene

in the process of our own evolution.

Speed it up, take control of it.

Scary, or exciting?

This leads me to Elizabeth.

You see, Elizabeth...

is not just a human clone.

She's been undergoing

an intense gene therapy program

whereby we are altering her genes

and making them stronger.

We are actually expanding

the use of her brain.

So, in essence, she will be a smarter,

stronger version of us.

And with this new technology we've developed,

every new life in the world

can have the same treatment.

Our genetic structure will no longer

be left to fate. It will be in our hands.

We are on the brink

of a new human evolution.

And it's not a matter of if we go

down this path, because we are.

It's a matter of how we meet this future,

and how we allow it in our hearts...

and in our souls.
