Be there with my family.

Did you have

to hit me that hard?

Well, I had to stop you

from talking to the police.

Yeah, that's a good one.

That should do it.

What are you doing?

Testing it.

Because I don't think you have

enough aluminum in there.

Are you kidding me?

That's exactly the same amount

they used in the rainforest war.

You shouldn't be talking.

The mess you left trying

to fix your garage.

You saw me working

on the garage?

Saw you? I nearly shot you.

Let's try it.

Wow!

Cool.

Cool.

You'd better be miles away

when this thing goes off.

I'm more worried about

getting us into the building

to find Natalie and Clara.

I'll take my chances

getting out.

Griffin.

Here.

What are you doing?

Yours, yours.

Griffin, what's the matter?

My wife, Katherine, is dead.

Oh, Jesus Christ.

Griffin, I don't know...

lm so sorry.

Don't start with "sorry."

Don't start! Don't start!

I am so sorry.

Don't start with "sorry"!

I know about the congenital

defects you've been embedding

into the clone D.N.A.

There's my wife,

Johnny Phoenix and the others.

But, Michael,

why my wife? Why?

You're right, Griffin.

It's a security protocol I

implemented. I didn't tell you

because you wouldn't understand.

What should I understand?

The only thing I understand

is that you gave my wife

cystic fibrosis.

Griffin, calm down. Someone

made a mistake. This was never

meant to hurt Katherine.

Oh, it didn't hurt her,

it just killed her.

Suppose we clone a senator

who's agreed to support us

but he goes back on his word.

What's the point?

Or Johnny Phoenix

wants to double his salary.

By giving them shorter life

spans we guarantee our leverage.

What's the point?

The point is...

if they betray us, they're dead.

If they stay on the team,

we clone them again

and no harm done.

And that's exactly what

we're gonna do with Katherine.

She's being cloned as we speak.

- No, she's not. No.

- No, she's...

Griffin, it was a mistake.

If you're concerned about her

D.N.A., go through it yourself,

make sure it's clean.

And obviously, there won't be

any charge for the cloning.

Oh, no charge.

Thank you very much.

What you don't understand is

she does not want to be cloned.

So you do it anyway.

Do it anyway?

I see.

Let me explain

something to you.

It's very simple.

I loved my wife very much.

So much so that I promised

I would never bring her

back again, and I won't.

If I can't bring her back again,

lll never bring back

anyone ever again.

That's how much

I loved her.

So it's over,

it's finished and I quit.

Well, I can't let you quit.

Yeah, well.

I've looked the other way

too often and lve justified

too much, so...

lm finished.

It's over.

You know what lm gonna do

for you, Griffin?

What are you gonna do for me?

I'm gonna give you

the greatest gift that

you could possibly imagine.

A gift?

I'm gonna save your life.

I'm gonna save Katherine.

I'm gonna save our friendship.

And lm gonna save

your marriage.

Michael, what are you

talking about?

I'm going to kill you now.

And then lm going to clone you

using your latest syncording.

Then lm gonna clone Katherine

using her last syncording.

You understand?

No.

Do you see

what lm doing for you?

You and Katherine

will be back together...

and neither one of you

will remember that you ever

promised not to clone her.

Or that she even died.

And obviously, you won't

remember this conversation.

You're welcome.

[Adam]

All right.

Now show me my family.

Bastards. I knew it.

Your syncording isn't here

and neither is he. It was being

flown by remote or something.

Both of you get back here now.

Come on.

This is a private pad.

You can't land that here.

Replacement technologies only.

I'm here to pick up

Mr. Drucker.

Here.

- It's my charter contract.

- Okay.

Everything's normal,

Mr. Drucker,

but we'll stay alert.

- What time are you

planning to take off?

- Take off? No, I didn't...

your pilot's on his way

down to reception.

Now you listen to me.

Seal the building,

full security alert.

You find this pilot.

He is armed and very dangerous.

Get Wiley and some men

up to my office, now.

- Freeze the elevators

and shut down parking garages.

- Over there on monitor 12.

- Zone six,

engineering corridor.

- There, sector three.

He's headed right towards you.

Turn around, turn around.

Don't even try it.

Get some people

up that west stairwell.

Team three and four,

close up on him. Let's go.

He must have shot a power box.

He's trashing the whole system.

We've got him trapped.

West stairwell,

between 13 and 14.

Let's go!

[Marshall]

Cover the stairwell doors!

Fire in front of him.

Okay, you did pretty good.

You fooled us at the airport.

You managed to turn

this place into a shambles.

- Want to make us come up there

and kill you? Fine.

- You're the greatest, dad.

But Mr. Drucker would like

to talk to you.

And of course

we do have your family.

All right.

Go get him, go get him.

[Door opens]

Well, well.

- Adam Gibson.

- I wish I could say,

"the one and only."

Looks like we both

went back on our word,

didn't we?

- You might find we have more

in common than you thought.

- Where's my family?

Right to business.

An admirable trait.

There they are.

- All safe and sound.

- For the moment.

And your syncording,

it's not on him.

It's not in his whispercraft.

I knew you'd

double-cross me,

so I gave it to my clone.

If anything happens

to me or my family,

the next time

you'll see your syncording

will be at your murder trial.

- Dr. Weir didn't

tell you, did he?

- Tell me what?

Adam, Adam, Adam.

He's not the clone.

You are.

I want you to ask

yourself something.

Do you remember anything after

being scanned by my bodyguard?

[Man #1]

I need to check your vision.

Look straight ahead.

Do you actually remember

changing places

with your friend?

[Man #2]

Hey, buddy, wake up.

We're here, woodland mall.

The salesman at the RePet shop

thought it was odd

that you came in twice...

asked the same

questions twice.

Still can't

make up your mind, huh?

You lost a dog, right?

[Hank's voice]

Let me see your chin.

You cut yourself shaving?

Your shaving cut?

Easily reproduced.

So was the scar

from your old war wound.

I know who I am.

I know you do.

Talia, how many times

have you been cloned?

I've lost count.

There's one way to tell.

Show him.

It's the only way

to keep track of what

generation a clone is.

See? Four dots means

she's been cloned

four times.

Come on. Let's

take a look at yours.

Come take a look in the mirror.

Let's find out if you are

who you think you are.

Just under

your left eye.

Kind of takes the fun

out of being alive,

doesn't it?

So you see, your family

is not really your family,

they're his.

And you, my friend,

are in exactly the same boat

as all of us.

If Adam Gibson gets that

syncording to the authorities,

we will all be destroyed.

If you really love
