The Jensen Project Page #8

once I give you

the assembler?

Nothing.

I literally hold

your son's life...

in the palm

of my hand.

You have no choice

but to trust me.

Trust you?

The man who's threatening

my child's life?

Ninety-five percent.

The man who told me

my work wasn't good enough...

and then continued

to develop it?

- Trust you, Edwin?

- Be careful, Claire.

Your own father

didn't trust you.

That's why he gave control of

the Jensen Project to Ingrid...

instead of you.

Ninety-six percent.

Spliced into city power,

about a zillion volts.

You good to go?

Easier than hotwiring a 4x4!

Ta-Da!

What do you think?

I think my dad

better be on his game...

if we're gonna light

this baby up in...

Three minutes.

Your father didn't

doubt your intelligence.

He doubted

your character.

Do you really wanna show

the world that he was right?

Ninety-eight percent.

Stall him, Claire.

What are you

doing in here?

What I want...

is that assembler.

No! No!

Leave it, Edwin!

Brody?

He's okay.

They got Edwin's files

and shut down his lab.

- I don't believe that.

- Well, Edwin...

maybe we'll let your friend

Cho explain it to you,

just as soon as he's finished

selling you out to the feds.

Edwin, how did it happen?

How did you end up here?

Brody!

Hey.

I've been

looking for you.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

I want to apologize.

For what?

Talking about stuff,

you know,

our feelings, our fears,

it's not always easy,

so we avoid it.

But in a family, we shouldn't

have to do that.

I haven't set a very good

example in that regard.

But I promise, from now on,

I'm gonna open up more.

And I'm gonna

listen better.

And I hope you will, too.

Yeah, I think

I can manage that.

And... I...

I'm sorry, too.

For, like,

you... you know...

putting you through

so much stuff lately.

Well, now that

that's settled...

Ingrid left a message,

said there was something

I needed to see?

Yeah, she wanted me

to show this to you.

You left this file open.

Ingrid was going

to archive it...

when she noticed this.

Play file.

That circuit board controls

the ciliary mechanism.

The nanobot can't

function without it.

He replaced yours

with one that was flawed.

He sabotaged my work.

Pause file.

And then he drove you away...

so he could take over

your project.

Ah... I feel so stupid.

- There's no way you could've...

- No, I mean, to let that one event...

so influence our lives.

Close file.

I love you.

Ah! Ew! Gross!

Hey, you better

pack your stuff.

We gotta take off!

What do you mean

take off?

She means go home.

- You're kidding, right?

- No.

You mean go back

to school tomorrow...

like none of this

ever happened?

That's insane!

May I suggest

an alternative?

Thanks to you guys,

the Jensen Project

can continue...

to do its good work.

And I hope with all my heart

that you'll stay...

and contribute your genius

to our efforts.

What about your practice?

I can cure patients

one at a time...

or find a cure

for thousands. Easy call.

What about you?

This place has

always been about...

being the best you can be.

And I think it's time

our family gave that a try.

Of course, we're going to

talk it over with Brody.

Ah, yes! Brody...

in the last couple of days,

you have shown your own

brand of genius.

Unfortunately, mostly while

disobeying your parents.

- But I...

- Brody...

you risked your life...

to protect Samantha

and the Jensen Project.

So, it is my great pleasure,

to offer you...

a Jensen Project

apprenticeship.

So, dude...

I mean, Brody...

You gonna

accept or what?

Definitely!

Yes!
