1:26:13
You couldn't use him,
could you?
1:26:17
Zachary.
1:26:18
You couldn't use him.
1:26:20
Maybe it neVer eVen
occurred to you to try.
1:26:26
No, it occurred to me.
1:26:28
But the fire
destroyed him, right?
1:26:29
You didn't eVen haVe
a Viable cell.
1:26:32
His genetics I could saIVage,
but it was no more than pieces of a map.
1:26:35
I saVed what I could,
but after that--
1:26:37
I was this close
to perfecting the procedure,
1:26:39
you can't possibly fathom
that kind of torture.
1:26:42
To haVe this knowledge,
this power,
1:26:43
and know there's nothing more
you can do about it.
1:26:45
But you did do things
about it, Richard.
1:26:47
Once you had Adam's cell,
you could preserVe
1:26:49
his physical characteristics
and manipulate certain genes--
1:26:52
intangibles, like cognition,
personality, his memory.
1:26:55
- I'm right, aren't l?
- Except for one thing.
1:26:57
There was no way
to predict the results.
1:26:59
I could only wait and hope
for a glimpse of him,
1:27:01
the mere indication that
something had liVed on.
1:27:04
LiVed on?
1:27:06
Do you haVe any idea what you'Ve done
to my son?! To my family?
1:27:09
I'd think you of all people
would understand,
1:27:11
seeing as we were both after
the same thing. I just wanted him back.
1:27:14
You experimented
with a human life!
1:27:16
So did you.
So did your wife.
1:27:18
No, I would say
there's a huge difference--
1:27:19
Is there, Paul? Do you think
you can just open Pandora's Box
1:27:22
and then just close it again?
1:27:24
We trusted you, goddamn it!
1:27:26
We had no way of knowing.
What you did goes way beyond--
1:27:28
Beyond what?
Societal standards?
1:27:30
You name me a single
medical adVancement that didn't.
1:27:32
Tell me something.
1:27:34
If I'm not supposed to do this, Paul,
then how is it that I can?
1:27:39
Because you're a scientist.
1:27:41
Only this isn't about science
1:27:43
or eVolution--
it's about moral trespass,
1:27:45
about your ignoring
what's right and wrong.
1:27:47
And what about you, Paul?
HaVe you trespassed?
1:27:50
I don't know.
1:27:52
Yeah, maybe this is
my punishment for wanting
1:27:56
something that I neVer
should haVe had.
1:27:58
And if that's the case,
then so be it.
