[ Screaming. Panting ]

Something's wrong.

- Do something ! elp her !

- You're too ecitable. Mr. Borans.

I'm forced to have you taken

somewhere you can calm down.

Screaming will not help anyone.

[ Man ]

Steady.

Hold her steady.

Why wasn't I

notifIed sooner ?

I'm sorry. Mr. Bartok.

We called as soon as the labor began.

Oh. my God !

Just get it out of me !

Get it out of me! No!

Just get it out of me!

Get it out!

You said it wasn't gonna be like this !

You promised !

Push, push.

Oh.Jesus.

[ Squishing Sound ]

[ Man ] Start fundal massage.

[ Screaming Continues ]

[ Man ] We're losing her.

We're losing her! Get in here!

- Clear !

- [ Buzzing.Jolt ]

All clear.

Charged.

Is that something

moving in here ?

Charged.

All clear!

[ Beeping ]

[ Flatline Beep ]

Doctor--

She's gone.

[ Gurgling ]

[ Muffled Cries ]

[ Crying ]

[ Dartok ]

Please, Dr.Jainway, do not think

of this child as a laboratory animal.

I want you to take care of him

as if he were my very own.

You will all answer

to Dr.Jainway.

She. in turn.

will answer to me.

I. in turn. will answer

to nobody but God.

From God's mouth to your ears.

That is the chain of command.

Is that understood ?

[Jainway ] ere we have

an average 1 1 -month-old child.

And here we have

our 1 1 -month-old child.

As you can see. his life cycle

is dramatically accelerated.

Now. there are

aberrant chromosomes.

obxiously a product

of genetic mutation.

And these are all dormant. something

in addition to accelerated growth.

What about his

nongenetic characteristics ?

is learning abilities.

for eample.

e's got

a photographic memory.

e doesn't just learn.

e consumes information.

And he never sleeps.

Is that so ?

Do you like him ?

Well... as a clinical subject.

I fInd him astonishing.

But he does try our patience

when it comes to medical eaminations.

I think it's time our young guest

and I became acquainted.

[ Child Giggling ]

We're not interrupting.

are we ?

[ Man ]

Not at all, Mr. Dartok.

Ahh.

What a handsome young man you are.

- Do you know who I am ?

- Yes.

You're one of the people

who lives behind the mirror.

Well. my name

is Mr. Bartok.

I'd like you to think of me

as your dad.

Martin ?

What's that

behind your ear ?

- Ahh ! ey !

- [ Giggles ]

up !

[ Laughs ]

You know. it's knowing the right

magic word that makes it happen.

It's a real magic word,

a secret word...

that you keep locked away

inside your heart...

and you never

tell anybody.

No. you don't tell anybody.

and that's what makes the magic work.

[ Man ] Martin. Martin,

are you listening to me ?

Dr. Shepard...

I don't mean to be rude

by not facing you.

but those tests are far too simple

to demand my full attention.

Besides.

I'm almost fInished.

So am I. Martin.

I just have to time you

on this maze.

and then we can both do something

that we enjoy more.

Very impressive. Martin.

[ Mechanically Distorted ]

People of Earth, attention.

-[ Whirring ]

-I grow tired of your trivial insolence.

Another outburst and I will be forced

to make an eample of you.

You've outdone yourself.

But what else does it do ?

- Keep still. Stop fIdgeting.

- Is Mr. Bartok gonna visit today ?

You know how busy he is.

e's got that project up in Zone Four.

Oh. yeah.

Can I go visit him ?

Of course not.

You're not allowed in Zone Four.

- Why ?

- Because you don't have

Zone Four clearance.

ow much longer do I have

to take these shots for ?

As long as you would

like to live.

ow come I don't have

Zone Four clearance ?

Because you're only a Zone Three

project. You're fIdgeting again !

It's normal behavior.

I read it in a book for mothers.

Wanna see ?

No. thank you.

Sit still, or Mr. Dartok will be

xery disappointed in you.

Ow !

[ Keyboard Clacking ]

[ Beeping ]

[ Martin's Helmet Whirring ]

[ Man On P.A., Indistinct ]

[ Buzzing ]

You know.

I've got this disease.

It's so rare there's only been

two people who've ever had it--

my father...

and now me.

They've even

named it after him.

It's called Brundle's

Accelerated Growth Syndrome.

The doctors say it means I'm growing up

a lot faster than I'm supposed to.

Which isn't so bad.

I guess.

But I think it also means

that I'm gonna die a lot sooner...

which isn't so great.

[ Shepard On Speaker ] Looks like

today's your lucky day, Martin.

Lamb chops and french fries.

Your faxorite, isn't it ?

Yes. sir.

- It's all right. It's all right.

- [ Moaning ]

[ Screaming ]

- appy birthday. Martin.

- Thank you. everybody.

Blow out the candles.

Don't forget to make a wish.

[ Laughs ]

Martin. The whole team wants you

to know how happy we are...

to share your

fIfth birthday.

What did you wish for ?

- You know what I want ?

- Your privacy.

And I think it's about time

you got it.

Say the magic word...

and make

the mirror disappear.

Where are you taking me ?

I don't know if I should go too far--

Nonsense.

It's a beautiful day.

Fresh air will do you good.

You should get out more often.

You mean. this is mine ?

- This is my place ?

- Your place. Your private place.

No more mirrors.

no more prying eyes.

-[ Toilet Flushes ]

- Wow!

Whee !

[ Chuckles ]

So. you like it ?

Yes.

I know it hasn't been

easy for you growing up

in such a clinical environment.

Due to your unique affliction.

I'm afraid it's been unavoidable.

Well,you'xe been xery good to me.

I don't know how to thank you.

Perhaps I can

think of something.

I'd like you to consider taking a

position here at Bartok Industries.

- A position ?

- Well. something challenging

to keep you from being bored.

A match for your intellect.

your creative mind.

I'm talking about a job.

[ Rexxing, Whirring ]

[ Electronic Sizzling ]

[ Dartok ] Fixe years

and millions of dollars later...

and what we have is--

[ Laughs ]

what we have...

is the world's

most epensive...

juicer.

The greatest invention

in the history of mankind.

and we can't get

the damn thing to work.

We're like a bunch of chimpanzees trying

to fIgure out how to operate a car.

m !

Your father was

a brilliant man--

brilliant but erratic.

When he died. some of

his secrets died with him.

You could fInish

your father's work.

You're as brilliant as he was,
