Before he has chance to find out the truth, he is attacked by a group who want him dead. Adam must escape and find out the truth from the creator of the clones, Michael Drucker (Goldwyn).

Everyone has their maps?

G.P. S? Emergency beacons?

Yeah.

All right,

any questions?

Yeah, I got a question.

Excuse me.

How many of you have RePets?

Yeah, I got a dog.

I got a snake.

- I got your point.

- Dogs, snakes or at least

knows somebody who has one?

- I know somebody, yeah.

- [Beeping]

[Blades whirring]

- You scared the crap out of me.

Proud of yourself?

- Very.

See you guys.

I know you're old school,

but all the kids today,

they grew up with RePets.

- These days

it's totally normal.

- Not to me.

Not to you. You want your kid

crying because her dog died?

Don't do anything about it.

Don't you think

it's even a little bit creepy?

No.

I don't.

Let's test the remote.

See if you can keep up with me.

All righty, here we go.

These RePets,

they come back to you,

you cannot tell the difference.

- Trust me, I had it done.

- Bullshit.

[Hank]

I'm serious!

Sadie, my cat.

- She's a RePet.

- You had your cat cloned?

- Yeah, she fell out

of my condo window.

- Ouch.

Sh*t!

Whoo!

Whoa!

You did well.

Thank you.

How long are you supposed

to keep me at Kellys?

Till 7:
00. why?

Maybe we should

check out RePet.

Good morning.

You gentlemen the owners?

Yep, that's us.

Excellent.

Larry stern.

I'm with Mr. Drucker's

advance team.

I've got a contract here.

I think you'll find it

pretty standard except for...

who was flying that one?

Me...

with the remote control.

- We can fly four of these

between the two of us now.

- Amazing.

- Here for the blood test?

- No. My technician

is set up in your office.

You said these forms

are standard except what?

It's our normal

charter contract.

It has a nondisclosure clause.

During the flight,

you may overhear

Mr. Drucker's phone calls.

It could be anything

from big mergers to inside

information on his sports teams.

Regardless, we have

a legal obligation

to protect that stuff.

What does this guy think?

He's the president?

No, he considers her

to be the world's second

most important person.

Ooh, that's big stuff.

All for a day

of snowboarding?

The blood test was agony.

Seriously, I was screaming.

She's just kidding.

Don't worry about it.

It really doesn't hurt.

Just press your thumb here.

- Right here?

- Yes, just like that.

- All done.

- Didn't feel a thing.

Need to check your vision.

Place your chin here.

Look straight ahead.

- Right here?

- Mm-hmm.

Do you blood test

all your pilots?

Pilots, drivers, assistants.

Anyone who comes in contact

with Mr. Drucker.

Hmm.

- All right, I press here?

- Yep.

And here.

Perfect, both of you.

After this, Im going to town

to test a chef and two waiters.

The pink copy

of the contract is yours.

I'll take the rest.

Here we go.

Have a nice flight,

gentlemen.

Ta-ta.

You know, I could

take care of Drucker.

That way, you could have

time to get Oliver cloned.

I'm not getting the dog cloned.

I'm just gonna check it out.

I know, but once you see it,

you're gonna say yes.

I know deep down inside,

you're a softy.

Um, they specifically

asked for Adam by name.

I know what specifically means.

I also know that the bodyguards

can't tell the difference.

They never got our names.

Oh!

That's true.

I know that

I screw around a lot.

But when it comes to flying,

you know Im serious.

I could do it.

Go enjoy your birthday.

If you want to be me,

try to act

a little bit more manly.

Yeah.

Chest.

Okay? Chest out.

Stomach in.

There you are.

Stomach. All right.

[Drucker into mike]

Get me the speaker of the house.

I want the speaker there.

No, you don't mention

my name at all. Huh?

Hang on a second, Dave.

Hi, Im Michael Drucker.

You must be Adam Gibson.

That's right.

Adam's the name

and flying's the game.

Pete Hume speaks highly of you.

He says you know

the mountains like nobody else.

Thank you. That's probably

true for everyone except

my partner, but thank you.

I'm looking forward to it.

So, we all set?

Yes, sir.

We've stationed our people

monitoring the rescue beacons...

don't need the details.

All right!

Your favorite snowboard's

behind your seat, sir.

Dave, look, we gave a lot

of money to his campaign,

not to mention what

I pay your law firm,

so Im counting on you.

Are you gonna get me

the speaker? Good.

So, sally, who's next?

Okay, put him on.

You own the roadrunners,

right?

[Gunshot]

Hey, buddy, wake up.

Wake up! We're here.

Woodland mall.

Oh.

I was asleep.

[Female over p.a. System]

Welcome to woodland mall.

Over 1200 retail outlets

to serve you.

Food court, ground level.

[Man]

Stop the cloning.

Say no to RePet.

Stop the cloning.

Say no to RePet.

Stop the cloning.

Save your soul, man.

God doesn't want you

to go in there.

Then god shouldn't have killed

my dog.

Atheist.

Stop the cloning.

Say no to RePet.

We can clone your

four-legged loved one

in just a few short hours.

How can we do it?

It all begins with

the growing of blanks,

animal drones

stripped of all

characteristic D.N.A.,

in embryonic tanks

at the RePet factory.

In stage two, your pet's D.N.A.

is extracted from a lock of fur

or drop of blood...

and then infused

on a cellular level

into the blank.

In the final stage,

using RePet's patented

cerebral syncording process,

all of your pet's thoughts,

memories and instincts...

are painlessly transplanted

via the optic nerve.

Still can't make up

your mind, huh?

You lost a dog, right?

Yes. My daughter's.

Oh, what a heartbreak.

What'd you say

his name was again?

Oliver.

Well, Olivers in luck.

We're having a special

this week, 20% off.

When did Oliver die?

Sometime this morning.

That's perfect.

We can still do

a postmortem syncording.

But you've got to act fast.

'Cause there's only a 12-hour

window on deceased brains.

I have a problem

with that whole idea.

I mean, suppose

that clones have no soul,

or they're dangerous.

Clone pets are every bit

as safe as real pets.

Plus... they're insured.

If it is so safe,

then why is it against the law

to clone human beings?

Because the human brain

is much too complicated

to syncord.

Now, you remember that

experiment they did, right?

Yes.

That's why that didn't work.

Now it's illegal to even try.

But with pets,

it's a totally proven

technology.

Your RePet, Oliver, will be

exactly the same dog.

He'll know all the

same tricks you taught him,

where the bones are buried.

He won't even know he's a clone.

And, did I mention?

They're insured.

I don't care about

the insurance.

I care about if I can trust

my daughter with a large animal

with sharp teeth.

We can make him smaller

if you want, with softer teeth.

You can?

We can even color coordinate him

to match your decorating scheme.

- [P.a. System] sim-pal,

the best friend money can buy.

- Let me think about that.

- Treat your kids

to a sim-pal today.

- I might be back.

You'll be back.

Your daughter will think

you're the best dad.

My kid sister has two of
