Let me explain.
Adam!
Couldn't use him, could you?
Zachary.
You couldn't use him.
Maybe it never even occurred to you to try.
No, it occurred to me.
But the fire destroyed him, right?
He didn't even have a viable cell.
but it was no more than pieces of a map.
I saved what I could, but after that...
I was this close to perfecting the procedure.
You can't possibly fathom
that kind of torture.
To have this power and know
there's nothing more you can do.
But you did do things.
With Adam's cell, you could preserve
physical characteristics
and manipulate certain genes.
Intangibles like cognition, personality
his memory. I'm right, aren't I?
Except for one thing.
There was no way to predict the results.
I could only hope for a glimpse of him.
The mere indication
Lived on?
Do you have any idea
what you've done to my son? To my family?
I'd think you of all people would understand
seeing as we were both after the same thing.
I just wanted him back.
You experimented with a human life!
So did you! So did your wife!
- I'd say there's a huge difference!
- Is there, Paul?
You think you can just open Pandora's Box
and then just close it again?
We had no way of knowing!
What you did goes way beyond...
Beyond what? Societal standards?
You name me a single
medical advancement that didn't.
Tell me something
if I'm not supposed to do this, Paul
then how is it that I can?
Because you're a scientist.
Only this isn't about science or evolution
it's about moral trespass.
- Ignoring what's right and wrong.
- And what about you?
Have you trespassed?
I don't know.
Yeah.
Maybe this is my punishment
for wanting something
And if that's the case, then so be it.
But believe me when I tell you
I'm gonna do everything
in my power to save my child
and see that you pay for what you've done.
- Paul...
- No, this is over!
I'm going to the police and then we're
gonna find a place that can help him.
- You're not going anywhere.
- Like hell I'm not!
It was an experiment.
That experiment failed.
We can always terminate and try again.
Terminate?
That's my son you're talking about.
Our son! He's yours because
I gave him to you!
You stay away from him!
You hear me?
You stay away!
You were lucky to have him
as long as you did.
You had nothing when I found you.
I gave you a child, a house, a job.
Anything in your life that you value
I provided.
You remember that, you...
you ungrateful piece of sh*t!
Why, why, why didn't... he... listen?
Adam!
Adam.
Are you in here?
Adam?
Where are you?
Let go. Let go of the axe.
Adam.
Adam.
Yes, Daddy?
Who are you?
Who are you right now?
I'm your son.
All right, if you guys can paint that out
by Thursday, that would be great.
Mr. Duncan, that's gonna look great.
How you doing?
This going downstairs?
Hey! How do you like your new room?
It's not finished yet.
Hey, kiddo, look.
It's a big change, we know.
Those doctors you've been working with
they all say this change
could be really good for you, right?
Sweetie, you've been doing so great.
And I bet in a new town, with new friends
you're going to do even better.
I know.
Mrs. Duncan?
Coming!
Hey!
and they're all labeled...
Toys.
How about you give me a hand
unpacking them?
- Yeah?
- Where would you like these?
Oh, careful with that.
It's going downstairs.
Hey, kiddo, I thought you...
Adam.
Ah! God!
I thought you were coming down.
Are you all right?
- You'd tell me if there was anything...
- Nothing's wrong, Daddy. I'm fine.
All right.
Trust me...
this is gonna be great for us.
Hey.
