Errors of the Human Body Page #4

Tell me, what am I up to?

Well, I know you've stolen

Rebekka's research.

And I saw your stupid

lapdog break into her lab.

There is no 'her research'

or 'my research', Geoff.

We're just one big organism.

Didn't Samuel tell you that? No?

Well, you see that would make

your mouse our mouse then.

And our mouse tells me that

you've been trialing the

Easter Gene on mammals.

And I also know that it's working.

What I don't know is how you did it.

So go on, tell me how you did it!

Come on.

I guess you'll have to

wait and read my paper.

Like everybody else.

Tell me!

Do you need a doctor?

It's his own fault. F*** him. Come.

Hello!

Hello!

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's going to need

some serious stitches.

You okay?

He'! -

What?

No!

No! No! No!

Geoff, what are you doing?

Let's make it right...

You're awake?

Your fever's gone.

You really scared me last night.

What are you doing?

It's quite a dossier you have here.

You always go

through people's stuff?

If you didn't want me to see it,

why's it just lying around?

- You know, I saw Jarek at the club.

We had a nice little chat... - Why?

- Why did you do that?

- Why not?

I saw him grab you. I saw you

talking to him last night after work.

That's what I thought.

- So what! What do you want

me to say? - The truth.

Okay, I had a little fling with Jarek.

So what? It was stupid.

So stupid...

At least I knew who I was f***ing.

You called me Sarah last night.

I was delirious. What's your excuse?

Why do I need one?

Listen, I don't care if you were

sleeping with some freak.

What I do care about is everything

you've been telling me lately

sounds like bullshit.

- Bullshit?

- Bullshit.

Okay then, let's just define

'bullshit' for a moment, shall we?

What's bullshit is that you

were never going to leave her.

Despite everything you told me.

I never said anything that

would make you think...

You think that didn't hurt?

I was frightened.

You know, it wasn't just some

little crush on my professor...

I was scared that it could get

out and my career would suffer.

That was a long time ago,

you need to move on.

Get out.

Get out!

You know, you have no idea

what I've had to deal with.

Oh, come on, Geoff! Deal with!

You haven't dealt with anything.

Sarah?

Ah, she's not available

right now. Is this Geoff?

Just put my wife on, please.

She's not your wife anymore.

She doesn't want to talk to you.

Yes, she does.

Every time you call you upset her.

- I'm sick of it!

- Just put her on, Ben!

Hey, who the f***!

Oh, you f***ing...

Squek...

Come on! Answer the phone!

Where's Rebekka?

Up on the roof.

Hi...

I need your help.

Rebekka... Please.

- What is it you want from me?

- I can't tell you here.

Here!

- I need you...

- Geoff!

- ...to do a blood test.

- Yeah, of course.

- You can run a PCR, right?

- Yeah.

- What are you doing?

- What does it look like I'm doing?

Help me.

Can you please just tell me what's

going on? You're scaring me!

I was bitten by a mouse!

- A lab mouse?

- Yes.

And I'm pretty sure

I've contracted a virus.

That's not possible.

These are the most

pathogen-free mice in the world.

Not if they belong to Jarek.

Now come on, we need a sample from

you too for the negative control.

- I know how it works, Geoff.

- Then do it!

What am I supposed

to be looking for?

Your Easter Gene.

Jarek's using a viral vector to

integrate it into the mammal genome.

Not embryos - fully grown mice.

He scooped you on the mammals, I'm

sorry he did it, but I don't know how.

What?

I'm the proof.

You know what, you're right.

Screw the test!

- Where are you going?

- Where's Jarek?

- I don't know.

- Yes you do!

- Probably in the mouse house.

- The mouse house?

- What are you doing?

- What do you think.

Please. Let me call Samuel.

Oh, now you're gonna call him!

Call Samuel, get him to the

mouse house right now.

- Let's think about this.

- I'm done thinking!

Where are you going? Stop!

- Geoff!

- Squeak is spelt with an 'A', a**hole!

- What are you doing?

- You used a viral vector.

- Get off him!

- Come on!

- It was infectious!

- What are you talking about?

You're mouse, it was infectious!

- Get this crazy a**hole off me!

- Tell me!

Stop it! Please!

I'm going to f***ing

kill you! Get off me.

Jarek!

Get back!

- Jarek.

- Get back.

Jarek.

What's wrong, Jarek?

This is exactly what

you wanted, wasn't it?

Get back!

What are you going to do?

I mean it.

Do it.

- Get back!

- What the hell is going on here?

He just went crazy,

he was attacking us!

Don't listen to him, Samuel!

These guys infected me!

That's a lie. He's done it to

himself. Waldemar, tell him.

- Bullshit.

- It's true. He did.

They lured me here.

In fact you all lured me

and you used the mouse

to infect me and make

it look unintentional.

Put that scalpel down.

Put the scalpel down!

Look at his head.

The cut.

- What cut?

- Sh*t.

Will someone kindly tell me

what the hell this is all about?

It's healed...

It works. It works in humans!

You f***ing back off!

Alright, I see what's going on now.

- I understand your little

collaboration, right? - Geoffrey...

No, I get it now.

You're in on this, too!

What is this 'infection'? Is it viral?

Of course it's f***ing viral.

The Easter Gene is an

endogenous retro virus.

Even though these two

geniuses couldn't work it out.

Is this true?

What the hell have you done?

What I have done?

I've just made the

discovery of the century!

This is what I have done.

Me, Jarek Novak. Remember it.

Happy Easter.

Yeah,

discovery's not a cure, right?

That's what you told me.

If the healing's accelerated,

so has the tumorgenesis.

What do you think I got?

A day? Maybe two?

Is this contagious?

Ah, it's alright, Samuel.

I'm pretty god damn sure

that it's blood-borne.

No, Geoff, no!

No, please!

Let me go! Please!

No, please!

Let me go!

Please! Geoff!

Geoff!

Let me go! Please!

I'm not going to be

anybody's specimen.

Geoff!

Geoff!

Geoff!

Geoff!

Geoff, please stop!

Stop please.

Geoff!

Stop!

There's nothing you can do.

Come back with me,

it's your only chance.

No. I'm going home.

Listen, I made a few changes in the

sequence, but it's basically the same.

Same?

Yeah.

- The same as what?

- Burton's Syndrome.

What?

What?

I requested tissue samples when I

heard about your son's condition.

My son?

Why? Why would you do that?

I thought I could help

you somehow. I...

I don't...

You know, when I started

cloning the gene,

I discovered it could

regenerate dying cells.

I mean the tumors are actually a

symptom of cell regeneration.

It's regeneration out of control.

That's what happened to your son.

I wanted you here to share it.

To show it to you,

to make you part of it...

I mean, you are part of it.

I wanted to tell you. I just...

I was waiting for the right time.

What took you so long, huh?

I was afraid to tell you. I didn't

know how you'd react or...

I'm sorry, I went too far with it. I'm...
