Doing great.

Keep breathing.

We have the head,

keep breathing.

I've got it now.

Here we go...

Imagine you were born

totally aware and conscious

of everything around you.

Conscious you were coming

out of someone else's body.

Joined to it by a bloody cord

that you are completely

covered in blood.

We have a healthy baby boy!

Conscious of the dry air

entering your lungs

for the first time.

The sharp sounds in your ears.

- Scissors?

- The blinding light in your eyes.

- Ten fingers, ten toes!

- Conscious that your bones

are unbearably soft

and your life is so fragile

it could disappear at any moment.

That's what being

resurrected is like.

- Congratulations!

- Thank you!

I can imagine nurse

Elizabeth Mansfra

I can feel her excitement

the day she met Dr. Victor West.

Regenerative medicine's

new genius

Look at the light, please.

Good morning, Miss Mansfra.

Welcome to Prodigy.

Where humanity's greatest

dream is coming true.

Are you aware that our team of

top international scientists

has developed the world's most

advanced regeneration program?

We're the only ones capable of

regenerating up to 65 percent

of the human organism.

Prodigy Health Corporation...

The only company in the world

that can bring you immortality.

Because immortality is

only a question of time.

Elizabeth, I remind you that

you are still bound by the

confidentiality agreement?

Nothing mentioned here today

can leave the premises.

Understood.

Victor.

This is Elizabeth Mansfra,

the nurse.

Elizabeth, Dr. West.

Nice to meet you.

It's an honor, Dr. West.

I've read all your books.

Try augmenting the levels

of catecholamines gradually.

Alright.

Excuse me.

Oh, Elizabeth.

Welcome.

Thank you.

Ready for a visit?

I'll call Dr. Howard.

Elizabeth and Victor.

My new parents.

This is where we work.

The entire wing of the building

is dedicated to the project.

200,000 square feet of

facilities for Lazarus alone.

And we barely even fit.

How long have you

been working on it?

Four years. We're finally

prepared to face reanimation.

That's a scanned map of Lazarus

with an accuracy

almost to the cell.

We use it to study the

primary difficulties

and to make decisions

before the big surgery.

Like what proportion of

the body can be reanimated

and what proportion

must be substituted

by bionic parts and organs

developed in our laboratory.

That is the operating room where

multiple surgeons will work

under Victor's direction

and assisted by 120 technicians

on the outside.

This is a model of

a surgical robot

we've designed for the operation.

When's the surgery?

July 25th.

That gives you four weeks

to familiarize yourself

with the clinical details

and to prepare your strategy.

After surgery, Lazarus remains

in an induced coma

for nearly two months.

Giving him time to assimilate

his new organs and implants.

It also allows us to address

possible reanimation defects.

Now, one of your functions

while he's in a coma

is to help him make that

transition into his new life.

And after that, you'll be

much more than just his nurse.

You'll be his

partner.

Of course.

Those are Lazarus' muscles

I knew it could be done,

but that doesn't

make it less impressive.

Any questions, Elizabeth?

What's Lazarus' name?

Oh!

Why does time pass so slowly

when we're children?

What are you doing, Marc?

Why does the future seem

like a huge endless eternity?

He is so tired.

Okay, c'mon, you can do it.

That's a good boy.

Let me see you.

Whey do we never feel

anything that intensely again?

Only the pain.

I'm sorry to have

to tell you this.

Our worst-case prognosis

has been confirmed.

It's too late to operate.

All that we can do right now is

try to slow its

spread with treatment.

At this point, radiotherapy

and co-adjuvant chemotherapy

is still the most

effective option.

How long have I got?

Based on our experience

with this type of tumor,

you'll be able to live,

more or less comfortably for

about a year.

And after that it's...

It's hard to say.

But um...

Why?

So soon.

I mean, um...

What's the reason?

Why... why my throat?

There could be many reasons, um...

Bad habits.

- Smoking.

- I don't smoke.

It's cancer.

If you undergo treatment,

and we act quickly,

we might be able to

give you some more time.

I need to think about it.

Sure.

I beat you!

I beat you.

This is beautiful.

- Where did you find it?

- Easy.

They hide under rocks.

Let's cut off its tail.

No!

Don't do that.

That's just wrong.

No!

- Eww.

- Ugh.

You big bunch of babies.

- Stop it!

- Marc...

Don't be scared.

They grow back, you know.

This one's tail

will never grow back.

What do you mean?

- No!

- What is wrong with you?

Time is coming back to me now.

Slower than ever.

You can't imagine all the things

that need to be done to

dismantle your life.

And prepare everything

for when you are gone.

Starting with the simplest.

Telling your employees,

suppliers and customers

that someone else will be

taking your place from now on.

That not to worry,

that everything will continue

exactly like it has until now.

Giving instructions on

how to finish the projects.

Selling your shares.

Leaving the business in good hands.

Deciding what to do with

your most personal projects.

With your dreams.

Telling the people you love.

Deciding who not to tell.

Managing all the

concern you will awaken.

Telling your mother.

Explaining to her that she's

going to outlive you.

Writing your will.

Selling your properties.

Emptying the house of

your personal belongings.

Looking at them for the last time.

When you get rid of

everything you ever were...

What's left?

What do you want it to be?

What was yet to come?

The best was yet to come.

The best was always yet to come.

I got lost.

I didn't know where I was.

I'm here.

Baby.

- I got lost and I...

- Shh... I'm here.

I saw Steve today.

He wants to get back together.

What did you say?

That I'm in love with you.

That I've always been in love with you.

You should get back together with him.

I want to be with you through this.

I want to spend the rest

of your life with you.

Come on, Marc, jump already.

Rebecca's looking this way.

Waiting to see that swan dive.

Way to go, dude.

Now he's gonna bellyflop.

What do you guys think

about cryonization?

Like Walt Disney, right?

Walt Disney didn't have

himself cryonized, but yes.

So what is it?

Basically, after you die,

your body gets put

into a capsule with um,

liquid nitrogen?

Am I right?

In hopes that someday,

medicine might be able to

cure whatever disease you have

or just to live longer.

Wait, you're not thinking about

freezing yourself, are you?

Let me show you something.

You say you're going away

I didn't know

You want me to help you?

Ah, this article is...

Seven years old now.

They extracted the heart

matrix out of a dead rat

and inject its stem cells into it.

A few days later,
