Why do we keep remaking old trends?
Shit,
How are we breathing new life into the old?
Are we adding something new?
If there is no soul, there cannot be life,
So, do we cater to the masses
or do we create art only for the few who dare experience it?
Oh, well, well, well,
And what excuse is it this time
for interrupting the energy flow of the start of the day
by dropping in just whenever you see fit?
Hmm?
Rose Miller!
I'm addressing you, yeah?
You disrupt my day, and you have nothing to say for yourself?
Well, I was almost in a car accident this morning,,,
I don't want your bullshit excuses!
I want you in to work on time!
Something funny to you?
Schadenfreude,
The pleasure derived from someone else's misfortune,
Danke schoen, my sweet Rose,
Relax,
You helped me illustrate a point,
Everyone, come close, Everyone, come close,
In each one of us,
there is someone we don't want to show the world,
A part of us that takes pleasure in seeing those around us fail,
A dark passenger who wants the self to persevere at any cost,
This is human psychology, hmm?
And this is what my new collection embraces,
The dark night of the soul,
That is Schadenfreude,
Gunter needs these finished before tonight,
Mm, got it, Thank you, Aurora,
Why don't you just throw down the whole carcass
while you're at it?
Hey, Rose,
I have a fun idea,
You're going to the show tonight, right?
Unfortunately, yes,
We should go to the after party together,
We can have some fun, blow off some steam,
Nah,
Uh, what?
It's essentially a waste of time,
I mean, it's good for people that are good at networking,
But I don't know,
I'm just better at letting my work speak for itself,
Even though apparently it doesn't say anything,
Why don't you be my date?
What?
It doesn't have to be anything serious,
but I'd like to see you tonight,
Is that okay?
Yeah, sure,
Great,
I'll see you tonight,
Hey, Rose, can you take this in for me?
I need to go down another size,
This is ridiculous,
If you went down another size, Chels, it would be ridiculous,
Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,
Well, I never eat anything processed and I feel great,
I don't know how you even stay alive,
I could never do the whole vegetarian thing,
I mean, how do you give up bacon?
I don't know, I just don't like hurting anything,
Doesn't it ever bother you that you're eating something dead?
You're either the food, or the thing eating the food,
What do you even eat?
I don't know, organics,
B12 supplements for energy,
You know, even a lot of meat eaters don't get enough B12,
It's really important,,, oh!
Rose, you've got to live a little,
I really do worry about you,
Come to the party with me after?
Um, actually, I was already planning on going,
Brad sort of invited me,
Shut up, It finally happened?
It's not a big deal,
We're just meeting there after,
but, um, he did sort of call me his date,
Oh, my God, Rose! This is so good for you,
What are you wearing?
Hmm?
Oh, I mean, probably this,
No!
Yeah,
No, and don't say that to anyone,
not even as a joke,
I'm going to pick something out,
It's going to be fun,
and you're going to look hot,
Ross?
No, uh, Rose,
First name, Last name, Miller,
And they put you on here tonight?
Yeah, I should be, I did the list myself,
Uh-huh,
Hey, baby,
What's up, baby?
Okay, Rose Miller,
Rose,,, Miller,
Ah, here we are,
All right, have yourself a good night,
Yeah,
Ladies!
Thank you,
Hey, Rose!
Sorry, what?
It's loud in here,
Come on,
Better?
Yeah,
You look hideous,
Thank you,
You look,,, you look nice,
Shit,
Don't you want to say hi to the boss?
No, I do not,
I make myself look like an idiot every time I'm in front of him,
Who cares?
It's a transition job,
My passion is photojournalism,
It's stupid,
I mean, it's not stupid, but it's,,,
It doesn't pay much, so I do this,
Beats shooting weddings,
Can I ask you why photojournalism?
Yeah, um,,,
Well, for me, true beauty lies within the things
we have yet to uncover,
To be part of the discoveries, to be a part of history,
You ever want to be a part of something bigger?
What is it you really want to do?
Well, I want to,,,
I want to work in fashion,
Yeah, but after that,
Oh,
- Shit, I,,, - It's fine,
No, I'm sorry,
- No, it's stupid, - Awkward,
Don't worry,
Don't take this the wrong way,
but why would you ever want to work in fashion?
I just love the way that clothes make you feel,
You can literally be anybody,
become anything,
It's like armor, you know?
When you walk out the door, you're arming yourself,
That's why I want to design, I want to help,,,
I want to help people feel strong,
I want to help them,,,
Yeah, it's stupid, You were right,
- No, - No, it's,,,
- It's not, - It's fine,
What you just said to me,
you need to tell Gunter,
Come on,
- No, no, no, - Yeah,
No, I can't!
You can, it's fine, I'll come with you!
I literally can't,
He loves me,
I borrowed this from his collection,
I'm not supposed to be wearing it,
What?
Yeah,
This is Gunter's?
He would kill me,
Again,
You are full of secrets,
Yup,
Wow,
Is he still there?
No, um,,,
It, uh, looks like your secret's safe with me,
Where are my manners?
Can I get you a drink?
Sure,
What do you want?
Anything, Surprise me,
I thought I just did,
I'll be back,
Shh!
Oh, my God,
Did you see Rose Miller with Brad Hart?
Oh, my God, how could I miss Scarface?
I can't believe she actually came,
Chels told me she asked Brad to ask her out,
Seriously?
Chels does everything for that girl, Why?
I don't know, Chels's family fostered Rose or something,
She lost her whole family in a car accident,
I mean, look at her face, it must've been bad,
I feel sorry for Brad,
He's just too nice,
Chelsea's too nice,
I just don't get Rose,
She's so weird and sad,
You think Brad's gonna give her a pity fuck?
Oh, my God, totally, He'd fuck anything,
Okay, you good?
Yeah, of course,
Yeah, okay, just fucking go!
Oh, my God, Rose, You look good,
Did you ask Brad to bring me here?
Oh, fuck, Who told you?
God, I am so humiliated,
Why would you do this to me?
You really liked him and he was into it,
Great, yeah, I'm glad he was really into it,
That's not what I meant!
What did you mean, Chels?
I didn't ask you for help,
I don't want to be here,
I don't need any more charity from you, okay?
Rose, this isn't charity,
You're like family to me, Don't do this!
Rose! I was only trying to help!
Rose!
Rose, fuck! Fuck!
Dr, Mantel, obstetrics,
Rose?
Oh, my goodness, Rose?
Someone get in here!
Sweetheart, it's okay,
Please don't move,
Doctor! She's up! Nurse?
Hey, hey, hey,
You're going to be okay,
Do you remember what happened?
The accident?
You got hurt,
I'm so sorry, It's all my fault,
Well, you're awake,
Welcome back, Ms, Miller,
Now, can we raise you up?
Do you remember what happened?
There was an accident,
Please don't try to talk,
You've been out for a week,
and we're very happy to have you back with us,
Now, my name is Dr, Keloid,
I'm the attending physician at St, Agnes',
Okay, look at me,
Okay,
Do you remember what brought you here?
There was damage on your face, I'm afraid,
particularly your jaw,
Some of it couldn't be reattached,
so we had to wire it shut for now
until we can talk about reconstruction options,
It's okay,
The bike punctured your abdomen,
and it ripped out a significant portion of your intestine,
But not to worry, with a proper diet,
you'll be able to live a perfectly normal life
with a shortened organ,
Now, we only had a Chelsea Cottrell
listed as your emergency contact,
That's me, Her parents are deceased,
My parents were her foster family,
Oh, good, good,
It's very important that she have all the support
she can get right now,
Oh, of course,
Now, I want you to keep in mind
that this is going to be a process,
just like everything else in life,
I don't think there's any point
in your worrying about the aesthetic right now,
Good,
And good, yeah,
Good, easy there,
Right, give her the mirror,
It's okay, it's okay,
We strongly suggest staying away from mirrors right now,
You have to focus on your rest and recovery,
We have more than a few weeks
before we can even think about you leaving this room,
I know it's a lot to take in,
Please take your time,
We'll give you some privacy,
Hey,
You okay?
You're alive,
and that's the most important thing,
I'm sorry, Rose,
It's really competitive,
But hey, Gunter didn't charge you for the dress,
Rose, you are like a sister to me,
I know you don't let people in
and I'm sure you have your reasons,
but I'm not going anywhere,
I'm sorry I fucked up,
but I'm gonna make it up to you,
I had to move your stuff somewhere
so I moved it into my place,
You've seen it, It's huge,
It's important you're not alone right now,
Oh, sweetheart,
Hey, hey, hey,
It'll be all right, okay?
Okay, and here we go!
Ta-da! You're home,
I unpacked some of your stuff,
but I didn't want to do the whole serial killer thing
and go through everything, so some of it's still in boxes,
Fridge is here,
and filled with organic veggies because I love you,
Oh, I even got some organic baby food,
I've been eating it and it's, like, amazing,
Blender is over here,
It comes one cup per serving,
So, you can just put your slurry in there
and whack it in the machine when it's done!
I think I even found a pomegranate,
Oh, right, No seeds, sorry,
Bedroom is here, and I'm there,
so, like, right there if you need me,
Don't mention it,
I've got to grab a few things so I'll be back in two hours,
four if traffic is shit,
Can I get you anything?
Are you going to be okay?
Really yes?
Or you don't want me to feel bad for having to go out, yes?
Okay, good,
Please help yourself to anything,
This is your home now, too, Okay?
Um, I left Brad's e-mail by your computer,
I gave him yours,
He feels really bad, but never mind,
You just take care of you!
I'm sorry I fucked things up between you two,
He really is a nice guy,
He helped me move your stuff in,
So sweet,
I'm happy you're here,
Transhumanism,
The belief or theory that the human race can evolve
beyond its current physical and mental limitations,
especially by means of science and technology,
The term "transhumanism"
originated in a paper from Canadian philosopher
W,D, Lightfall in 1940,
In 1957, biologist Julian Huxley would use the same
as a title for his own paper on the subject,
and go on to be known as the founder of the movement,
He theorized that the human species can, if it wishes,
transcend itself not just sporadically,
an individual here in one way,
an individual there in another way,
but in its entirety, as humanity,
Despite the clear benefits of the movement,
FDA restrictions threatened to eliminate any advancements,
The Burroughs Clinic found an opportunity
within the challenge,
In exchange for minimal blood work,
families involved in the Burroughs tests
were supplied with a lifetime of complete medical coverage,
with opportunities for special cases
to experience medical breakthroughs
that are currently unavailable to the public,
We look forward to hearing from you,
Wow!
I would do some pretty sketchy things
to get free medical from a place like this,
Sorry, just trying to lighten the mood,
Ooh, I like her nose,
Okay, sorry!
We're here for you, not me,
Okay, come on, Over here,
You okay?
Okay, oh, there she is,
It's nice,
Fancy,
- Hello, - Hello!
We have an appointment for Rose Miller,
Uh, okay, just want to sign in there,
Right at the bottom,
If I may,
It is a pleasure to meet you,
My wife, Cynthia, and I
founded this institute to help people like you,
Your attending physician, Keloid,
brought your case to our attention,
He felt that you would be an excellent candidate
for one of our experimental procedures,
Stem cell manipulation,
It's not a new science,
but it is the key to life,
If you qualify, all costs are covered,
And from what I've seen,
you certainly fit the necessary requirements,
We live in a country that has, in many ways,
failed to meet the health care needs of its citizens,
We are a research facility,
one of the leaders in regenerative medicine,
and we need human subjects for our work,
It's a mutually beneficial arrangement,
You will not be our first patient,
and certainly not our last,
It's really a matter of bureaucratic paperwork,
in my opinion,
that keeps life-changing treatments like this
from being made widely available to the public,
They are already being sold to the most wealthy,
Take a moment with your friend,
I'll be right outside whenever you're ready,
Pretty good, right?
Look, the hospital bills were ridiculous,
and I don't know if you've looked
at reconstructive payment options,
I don't know how those people sleep at night,
I know this is completely unfair, Rose, but honestly?
What do you have to lose?
I'm sorry, come here, sweetheart,
We'll figure something out, we will,
Let me look at you,
You the boyfriend?
What?
Oh, Uh, no,
I'm just someone who cares,
Oh, That's considerate,
Do you have a moment to speak about her?
Sure,
You need it
like you need pernicious anemia,
We don't like to hear
the word "vampire" here,
Trying to improve our PR, "Interdependence"
is the keyword,
Enlightened interdependence,
Life in all its rich variety,
Take a little, leave a little,
However, by the inexorable logistics
of the vampiric process,,,
Hmm,
,,,they always take more than they leave,
Mmm,
Hmm,
Are you okay?
I'm recovering,
Well, quite well, from where I'm standing,
You look familiar,
You're not a fan of daytime television?
Major Medical, starring Dominic Danvers
as Dr, Tony Calabria,
What are you doing here?
Uh, just a little routine maintenance,
Wow,
Oh, my God,
That's my line,
Hey!
Fuck,
Fuck!
I think I got up last night,,,
and a strange,,, Like, a dream,
but I felt like I was awake,
Where did you go?
The swimming pool,
Dreams reveal so much about the self,
Open, please,
Our inner truths, desires,
Our fears,
Did you go into the water?
Yeah, Yes, I did,
In dreams, water symbolizes emotion,
To enter into a pool of water
suggests that you are exploring your unconscious;
trying to get to know, understand,
and appreciate yourself more,
It's a lovely dream, one I've had myself,
But sleep is important,
You mustn't push yourself,
If you push yourself too hard,
it can affect
the way your mind processes information,
That's what gives you this feeling of a waking dream,
Your body has been through a lot,
You may feel weakened,
Actually, I feel great,
I feel strong, Very strong,
Terrific,
"Terrific" as in I-can-go-home terrific?
I insist,
We'll want to see you back here again
to document the healing process,
Of course,
But you can schedule that on your way out,
There are one or two side effects
of the procedure that I should mention,
We have created, essentially, immortal skin grafts,
Now, these medications I'm giving you
will help ease the transformation,
But when you're tired, you must rest,
Otherwise, it can give you
nausea, dizziness,
even quite vivid hallucinations,
You're also going to have
very specific dietary requirements,
Drink these when you have difficulty
keeping other foods down,
Can I ask you what's in them?
A super protein that's easy to digest
and has been specifically designed
for your nutritional requirements,
It's nothing to worry about,
Okay, Thank you, Dr, Burroughs,
Oh, you're welcome, Rose,
Um, hi,
Oh, my God, Rose?
That's amazing! Can they do me next?
Let me look at you,
Wow,
What?
No glasses?
Well, I mean, I don't need them anymore,
Okay, Spider-Man,
You're just,,, You look so different,
I'm still me, Chels,
I'm so happy for you,
Oh, thank you,
I'm going to work,
Call me if you need anything, okay?
Yeah,
I'm not sure what to do with myself all day,
Maybe recover from major surgery?
Jesus, Rose, You're the only person I know
who gets time off and wants to work,
You should do something for yourself for a change,
Design,
Feel inspired,
Um, I really appreciate you
taking the time to look at my work,
These are very commercial,
What you have created is very polished
and very pretty,
But it's formulaic, Boring, Safe,
I have already forgotten them,
Who are you, Rose? Do you know?
I can take criticism,
I can do better,
Let me show you something different,
I've always wanted to be a designer,
I can do so much more than you have,,,
Rose!
Is there something I can help you with?
Hey, Rose, Would you open the door?
Holy shit,
I mean, fuck,
You look,,,
Hideous, right?
Nah,
How did they do that?
Experimental skin grafts,
It's incredible,
It's like the accident never even happened,
No, It's not like it never happened,
That's, um,,, That's not what I meant,
Uh, I'm just glad you're okay,
Chels said to leave you alone,
so I figured you were still staying there,
Yeah, Well, Chels says a lot of things,
Yeah, She does,
Um, I wanted to apologize for everything,
It's fine,
But it was stupid of me to think
you'd actually just ask me out, right?
Hey, come on,
It's not like that,
What do you say I make it up to you, huh?
Let me take you out tonight,
I'm busy tonight,
What about tomorrow?
I'm busy tomorrow, too,
You're going to make this tough on me, aren't you?
No,
Bye, Brad,
You turned down Brad?
Mm-hmm,
I swear I had nothing to do with that,
It just feels bad, I don't need his pity,
Well, you know you're pretty now, right?
You don't have to be nice,
That's horrible,
Oh, I'm glad you let me drag you out tonight,
You never come out with me,
You said one drink, so,,,
And I totally meant it,
- Hi, - Good evening, ladies,
You don't need to,,,
Not tonight,
Cameron, come with me, huh?
We do the Arabian tonight?
Mmm, Perfect,
Thank you,
Rose Miller? Rose Miller?
I'm addressing you, yes,
Mein Gott,
Look at you, Who are you wearing?
I'm actually wearing one of my designs,
Your design?
Mm-hmm,
Something new, I can see,
I am impressed,
Someone looks like
she is well enough to come back to work, huh?
Actually, yes, I am,
I could come back on Monday,
I'd love to work on the Shadenfreude Collection
with you again,
I would very much like that, too, Rose,
We launch in two months, huh?
There's so much work to be done,
I'm glad to see you looking healthy,
Thank you,
Now, please, Don't let me down,
I won't,
And you, schnookie-flutz,
remember you have a photo shoot,
9:00 a,m, tomorrow, yeah?
No drinking,
I'll only have a few,
No, no, Ein drink, huh?
Vodka and soda, I don't want you getting fat,
Let's go, dear,
Who was that?
She is stunning,
Yeah, She's my assistant,
Bubba, where's the car?
It's just up the street,
I have to walk?
Oh, my God,
He practically begged you to come back,
Please, I hardly noticed,
Shut up, We're celebrating,
Jesus, Dom, you're burning up,
What the fuck are you on, hmm?
It's always so goddamn hot in here,
Yeah,
Can we get a little air in here, for Christ's sakes?
It's like a seniors' home,
Someone, can we get some air for Dom, please?
Will someone get on that?
Ice cubes or something? Dom, you want ice cubes?
You all right, brother?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm good,
- You ready to hunt, brother? - Yep,
It's not brain surgery, Cindy,
It's the same shit every week,
You're being mean to me,
I can't concentrate when you're being mean to me,
Just try to fuck up on your coverage, Not mine, okay?
Guys? This is fucking real, this connection,
Let's do this, Let's do this,
Let's see what happens, Let's do this,
Library quiet, Like a fucking mouse,
I love, I love, I love where you guys have taken this scene,
Let's get the energy into this scene, right?
Not pretty, okay?
Yeah, Pretty,
Yeah? You ready? On your time? You ready?
- Let's do this, - You ready? Okay,
We're rolling, guys, On your time, Namaste, Let's do this,
Ah, Action, Action,
I can't keep lying to my husband, Tony,
It's never been a problem before,
Oh!
Dominic,,, Ow! You're hurting me,
Dominic, you're hurting me! Ow, Get off,
Okay, Whoa, whoa, whoa! Cut, cut, cut,
For fuck's sakes,
Try to act like a fucking professional, okay?
Hey, you know what? Don't talk to me like that, all right?
One sec, Cindy, one second, Can I?
Ralph?
Yeah?
I'm just here to bear witness to your truth, brother,
It's fucking awesome, Right?
- Okay? - Yeah,
It's a bit weird in this scene,
- Got it, - So, let's bring
- the intensity down, - All right,
Feel this fuckin' wild animal beating?
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Just let it be a flower,
Let it open up,
A flower, Okay,
- Ready to go? - Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Cindy, you okay, sweetheart? Ouch,
- You all right? - Yeah,
Pain can be a gift, Just fucking go with it,
Don't throw it away, Next time we'll get magic,
- Okay, - You ready to go?
Yeah, Let's go,
Yeah, I'm ready,
Stop, Idea, Fuckin' idea, Trent, Trent?
We got Trent on set? Trent?
Right here,
In the fucking scene, Eat a piece of cherry pie,
Trent? Who's Trent?
Watch Cindy the whole scene,
What the fuck, right?
Evening, y'all,
Who's he? Who the fuck is this?
Trent Taylor, I'm playing the new doctor,
Doctor?
How old is he?
There's no new doctor in my script,
Just go, You're a fucking artist, Work, man,
Oh, really?
Is something funny, you little fuck?
You piece of shit! You fuck, Fuck!
Fuck!
- Ugh! - No, man,
It's good to meet you,
My mom is a big fan of yours,
Follow it!
Ugh!
Oh, my God,
Fuck, What am I doing?
Shit,
Oh, shit,
Chelsea? Please pick up,
Please pick up,
Okay, Please, sir, I've calmed down now,
Can I go back inside now?
No, Your night is done,
Look, I'm going to get you both fired,
My friends are still inside, all right?
It doesn't matter, You got to go home,
Get your hands,,, Get your hands off me?
You're lucky I don't kick both your asses, right now,
Yeah, Take a number,
What's up, beautiful?
My name is Billy, What's your name?
Hey, excuse me, What are you, a mute?
What, you can't fucking talk?
Hey, I'm talking to you,
You know, that's just fucking typical,
Bitch thinks she's all that,
You know, when someone pays you a compliment,
learn how to fuckin' say thank you,
Yeah, pretend like you're on the phone,
You fuckin' whore,
Seriously, you ain't all that, sweetheart,
You're like a New Jersey six,
You don't got a man as hot as I am,
Jesus Christ, lady, You trying to give me a heart attack?
Looking good, though,
Can you give me a ride?
Oh, boy, can I, Anywhere you want to go, toots,
Get in,
Okay, blondie, What's your name?
Rose,
Rose?
My name is Billy,
So, where can I take you, Rose?
Nowhere,
Nowhere, now?
I knew you were a dirty little slut
the instant I,,, Ow!
Too rough for you?
Now you're really going to get it,
Ow,
Try and stop me,
Ugh!
Please!
Excuse me?
Hello?
Mr, Taylor?
Mr, Taylor, what are you doing out of bed?
You just had reconstructive surgery,
Oh, you can't take your bandages off just yet,
There's still going to be a lot of swelling,
What you're seeing isn't indicative
of what's going to be the results,
Come on,
He bit me! He bit me!
You did the right thing coming to see me,
Tell me more about these meat cravings,
It's not just the meat, It's,,,
It's the blood,
There's something about it,
It's not uncommon for patients
to report changes in taste post-surgery,
It's a side effect of the anesthesia,
Things don't taste the same,
We crave things we've never eaten before,
How's your appetite?
I'm hungry all the time, I can't keep anything down,
I have these severe stomach pains,
and when the pain is too much,
that's when the hallucinations start,
And I see myself,,,
Please,
Miss Miller?
I'm drinking blood,
You're dreaming,
I know it seems real, but it isn't,
Look,
There isn't much that we know about dreams,
But one thing we do know is that
it is the time the mind takes to heal,
Why am I dreaming about drinking blood?
Well, people who dream about drinking blood
often have unfulfilled yearnings,
It's tied to the guilt of desire,
I don't feel guilty,
Are you in control of the dreams,
or do the dreams control you?
Sometimes I am in control of them,
Sometimes it just seems like I'm watching myself,
Like, I'm me,
but I'm somebody else,
These nightmares,,,
Hallucinations,
It's making me feel like I'm becoming a monster,
Well,
I'm sorry to disappoint you,
but your monster is psychological,
as most monsters are,
It's your own creation,
You don't recognize yourself in the mirror,
so you see this monster,
When will this feeling of dissociation go away?
When will I start feeling like myself again?
Well, that's up to you, Rose,
We see what we want to see,
and some things,
we refuse to see,
But we are the creators of our own reality, Rose,
and we are the editors of them as well,
Excuse me, Miss Miller,
Gunter, I'm sorry I'm late,
Late? What have we here?
That,,,
Who did these drawings?
You?
Yes,
They're not ready yet,
You can take some time to look at them later,
They seem ready to me,
I'm sorry, Is this, um,,,
Are you serious, or is this Shadenfreude?
Because I'm,,,
Nein, nein,
This is Shadenfreude,
My work is,,,
Yeah, Yeah,
For my collection,
I want you to build and design this one
with me,
Thank you, That,,,
Gunter, that would be amazing,
Thank you for this opportunity,
I won't let you down,
See, these designs,
these are the essence of my collection,
The Dark Night of the Soul, huh?
What is the face we show no one, hmm?
Who are we when no one is watching?
Hmm?
Dr, Riley?
Yes?
Dr, Beverly, We spoke on the phone,
Oh, of course,
I really appreciate the CDC coming
as quickly as you did for this,
Ah, well, I only wish we'd been made aware
of the situation sooner, Are you sure it's rabies?
It was very difficult to diagnose,
It seems to be a mutated, hyperactive strain,
and it's extremely aggressive,
We have no idea what started it,
All we do have is what we believe to be
our first reported case, Dominic Danvers,
What's his current condition?
Not good,
We need to find out what bit him,
Are you still avoiding me?
No, I've just been busy dealing with
a few little health concerns,
Oh,
You feeling okay?
Yeah, No, I'm totally fine,
I actually just got back from the clinic,
Burroughs?
Mm-hmm,
And he said?
That I just have to give it some more time,
Oh,
Did he say anything else?
That I should remember to eat,
Does that mean you'll let me take you out for dinner?
I walked into that one, didn't I?
Straight into it,
So, how's your appetite?
Uh, insatiable,
I'm honestly hungry all the time,
The only thing I've been able to keep down
is the recovery protein shakes
from the clinic,
Well, let's get you fed, What looks good?
Uh, actually, I don't know,
My stomach has been kind of screwy
since the surgery,
Is that what you went to the clinic about?
Yeah,
Yeah, That, and you know,
I haven't been having the greatest of nights,
How do you mean?
I've been having these nightmares,
It's stupid, but I think it's
because of the accident,
You've been having nightmares?
Yeah, I,,,
I feel like I'm awake when I'm having them,
They feel very real,
Is that how it feels?
Uh, no, I,,,
Ignore me, I'm sorry, I'm tired,
I don't even know what I'm saying,
But thank you for asking,
You don't have to feel sorry for me,
I don't,
I care about you, Rose,
You do?
Yeah,
Can I, um,
be honest about something?
Oh, God, Okay,
No, It's, uh,,,
It's important,
I'm sorry I,,,
Shit,
Oh, shit,
You okay?
Sorry, I think I just bit my tongue,
I'll be right back,
Yeah,
Rose?
I'm sorry, I just,,, I have,,, I have to go,
What? Everything okay? Something I said?
Just,,, it's, um,,, it's my stomach,
I just really need to go home, I'm sorry,
Okay, well, I'll go with you,
No, it's fine, Just stay here and enjoy the food,
No, I'll take you,
Hey! Get away from her!
God!
What the fuck?
Rose?!
Rose!
Jesus!
See, the virus compromises the nervous system,
causing the brain to misfire its signals,
effectively driving the victim insane,
It puts them in a rage, causing violent and erratic behavior,
It makes them a danger to themselves and to others,
What can we do? I mean, poor Dana,
No, this isn't Dana anymore,
We have to vaccinate anyone without an advanced case
and isolate those showing symptoms,
Jesus Christ,
We've seen some showing incubation periods
as little as 48 hours already,
How is that possible?
Unknown,
But with a mutant strain
that can incubate in less than 48 hours,
we could be looking at an epidemic
unlike anything the world has ever seen,
What about the infected showing symptoms?
I say we keep them comfortable, until they terminate,
But we also need to keep them out of view,
We do not want to cause mass hysteria,
This little one,
he's got a lot of painful procedures ahead of him,
But at least he's not going to have rabies,
It spreads like an STD,
but for this many people to have contracted the virus
and not have a common connection is impossible,
Something is connecting and linking these people together,
You think it's an infected human,
No, I don't think it's human, But what I do believe is
that something has come in close contact with a lot of people,
and if we don't stop it,
it's going to come in close contact with a lot more,
We're issuing a public health warning,
No, no, no, Listen to me,
If this gets on the news, it's going to cause a panic,
What we need to do is quarantine all of the infected people
before it gets out of the city,
Rabies is one of the deadliest viruses known to man,
and with a mutated strain like this,
if we do not stop it, it could infect all of mankind,
So, what we need to do is get an autopsy
on Dominic Danvers before it's too late, we need to,,,
Jesus Christ,
Hey! Lower your weapons!
This man was sick!
He came to the hospital because he needed help!
Miss,,,
Miss, are you okay?
Easy, easy,
You know, you really shouldn't be out here
by yourself this time of night,
Are you okay? Miss, can I help you?
Just please,,, whoa, Whoa, whoa, whoa,
You don't want to go in there,
It's okay, It's okay,
I'm not going to hurt you,
Hello, this is Burroughs,
Please leave a detailed message
as well as a number that you may be reached at, Thank you,
If this an emergency, please call my associate
Dr, Elliot on the main directory at extension four,
Dr, Burroughs, it's Rose,
I've been having vivid nightmares
and stomach pains,
Maybe I should be taking more of something,
or, I don't know, less of something,
Uh, please call me,
Life begats life,
Energy creates energy,
It is only through spending oneself
that one becomes rich,
Now, you must push yourselves completely,
until there is nothing left,
Nothing, Hmm?
Now, I do not mean to die for fashion,
but this fashion is to die for, yeah?
This is fantasy, hmm?
This woman is too beautiful to exist,
Our fashion is not everyone,
What's up with you and Brad?
Nothing,
We, uh,,, we went on a date last night
and I had an upset stomach, so I had to leave,
You went on a date with Brad and you didn't even tell me?
What else are you hiding from me?
Okay,
He's coming over, Do you want me to stay?
No, it's fine, Thanks,
Hey,
We need to talk about what happened last night,
Look, this medication that I'm on, it's,,,
It's making me a little messed up, okay?
To be honest with you,
all I remember is leaving the restaurant,
I'm not sure how I got home,
I took you,
Rose?
Thank you,
I am waiting on you,
Chelsea, please,
All right, Rose, what do you see? Hmm?
It's,,,
It's good,
It's good, but,,, But what?
Show me,
Couture, Yeah,
Chelsea, would you give us one more turn, please?
Yeah,
All the models, please, line up,
Schnell, Raus, Move, move, move,
All right,
This dress will close the show,,,
on Chelsea,
Close the show? You mean me?
I mean, us,
Very impressive work, Rose, Hmm?
If you keep impressing me,
your own line is not out of the question, Hmm?
Well done,
Thank you,
All right, schnookie-flutzes,
,,,let's go, Out, out, out,
We have work to do,
A warning
from the Center of Disease Control
declaring an emergency alert situation,
An outbreak of rabies has officials urging
those experiencing a sudden onset
of flu-like symptoms
to seek immediate medical attention,
Avoid all animals or humans exhibiting violent
or erratic behavior,
Residents are strongly encouraged to stay indoors
at this time,
We pray it doesn't happen to you,
Gunter,
Ah, Stella, hello, hi,
Now, what do you tell the critics that are saying
that you premiering your collection
during a public health crisis is a tasteless publicity stunt?
Fashion never stops for anybody or anything,
You know this Stella, hmm?
And we have faced public health crises before,
I have lost many friends to AIDS and SARS,
And, you know, what is this, really?
It's a fucking head cold,
It's nonsense,
We are talking about fashion, It's not Dateline,
- Okay, - Get a job on cable,
Gunter, stop talking,
Do you like the blue?
- It's genius, - Yeah, I thought it was good,
Excuse me,
Hi, Um, have you seen Chelsea arrive yet?
I can't find her,
Who?
Never mind,
Hello,
Rose, Dr, Burroughs, I saw that you called,
Listen, I was just going over your test results
from the last time you were in,
I think you'd better come back into the clinic
for an extended stay,
It's nothing serious,
but just to err on the side of caution,
Can you come in tonight?
Um,,,
I can't tonight, but I could come tomorrow,
Oh, Well, I suppose that'll have to be soon enough,
But,,, try not to push yourself,
I won't, Thank you,
Shit,
Oh, my,,,
Chels, what happened?
I had a hard time getting here,
Like, I fucking hate this country sometimes,
you know what I mean?
Are you okay?
What the fuck happened to your hand?
Traffic was gridlocked, so I had to take the subway,
and there's was this lady and she just,,,
she went insane and she fucking bit me,
and then, she was shot by the police,
You look fucked up,
You sure you're okay to walk tonight?
Yeah, fine, I just,,, I didn't know it would be this hard,
What's hard, sweetheart? Being beautiful?
Closing the show?
Give me your problems,
Oh my God, Chelsea,
Fuck,,,
She looks like she just came from a bukkake,
but I'm convinced that's her look,
Do some more coke, Michelle,
It's doing wonders for that already glowing personality,
Stay still,
Hi, it's Chelsea,
I'm too busy to answer this, obviously, Bye,
Chels, where,,,
shit,
Did you hear that?
Oh, sh,,,
What the fuck is wrong with that bitch, man?
Fuckin' help me,
What the fuck is going on? Oh, shit,
- Fuck,,, - Buddy,,,
Stop, stop,
Rose, what are you doing up?
What do you mean? What happened?
You passed out in the alley, You don't remember?
No,
We need to get you out of here,
No, no, I'm fine, Oh, God,,,
I've just been under a lot of pressure lately,
I,,, Yeah, I just need to eat something,
Okay, fine, let's get you fed, a proper meal,
but not here, I'm taking you to the clinic,
No, no! I already have an appointment tomorrow,
It can wait,
Rose, Rose, Rose, it can't wait,
I need to see my dress close the show,
You know how much I've sacrificed for this?
I am not going to miss this,
I'm not leaving,
Rose,,, Rose!
Fuck,
Whoa,
I know, right?
It's the best dress in the whole fucking collection,
Hey, where were you?
You all right?
It doesn't matter, I'm here now,
Do you remember how much we used to dream of this?
Me closing the show in one of your designs?
Here we are, We made it,
How's it feel?
It doesn't feel real, none of it does,
The show will be starting in one minute,
Are you sure you're all right?
How couldn't I be?
I wouldn't miss this for the world,
Do you know how many girls would kill to be where we are?
It's gonna be your line next, Rose,
You're gonna be great,
I'm closing the motherfuckin' show,
I am great, Go,
You don't want to miss your big moment,
I just wanted to tell you,,,
Rose, Gunter's asking for you,
Oh my God, Chelsea, you're so sweaty,
God, Chelsea, this way, come on,
We need to leave now,
What?
I know what's going on,
I know you're not feeling well, Come on,
- No, I'm fine, - Rose,,,
Nothing's going on, I told you that,
We don't have any more time,
Did you hear that? Is that a part of the show?
Oh my God! Chelsea!
No!
Chelsea!
Chels, no!
Have you lost your mind?!
Chelsea!
Stop!
Police! Don't move!
- We got to get out of here now! - Chelsea!
Chelsea!
Don't move!
Chels, no!
Chelsea!
Freeze!
No!
Rose, come on,
- No! - We gotta get the hell out!
- No! - Come on!
Let's go,
You're okay,
Rose, I heard you fainted
and the hallucinations have become more persistent,
I feel like I'm losing my mind,
I brought her in as soon as I could,
Oh God, Chelsea, I should,,,
It's okay,
You did the right thing, Mr, Hart,
Rose, I'm so terribly sorry for the stress
you've suffered outside this facility,
It was not my intention to rush things,
Things have gotten way out of hand outside,
Believe when I tell you that I have everything under control,
Oh God, Dr, Burroughs, I'm sick,
Okay,
That virus on the news,
I feel like,,, I feel like it came from me,
Things have been happening around me,
It's not a dream, It's,,, it's my fault,
I hurt people and Chelsea's dead,
Oh God, the way she looked at me,,,
Calm yourself, Rose, Calm yourself!
She looked at me!
Calm yourself,
Have you been taking your formula?
No,
Oh, no, Come on,
It's all like blood,
that's why I stopped taking it,
Was it blood? Why would you give me blood?
Look, I know I sound crazy, but these aren't hallucinations,
Something is very wrong with me,
Blood? These hallucinations are very persistent,
I think it's time to come clean with us, Doctor,
All those people are dead or sick because of me,
Rose, Rose, Rose, what if I were to tell you
that there was a sickness?
And it is going to kill 100,000 people today,
and it is going to kill 100,000 people every day
until we cure it?
It doesn't matter your level of health, You could,,,
it will kill an adult in the prime of life
as easily as a new-born or a senior,
It is completely random and ruthless,
Now, Rose, if you could save those people,
if you could stop that, would you do it?
Of course,
Well, that sickness is already here, Rose,
It is already with us and it is called death,
We have the means to cure it, but our hands are tied,
It's just right through there,
What the hell is this?
We have to get out of here,
We should fill Rose in,
shouldn't we, Mr, Hart?
Time to "come clean", as you put it,
No, let me explain!
I hired Mr, Hart
to keep an eye on you outside the facility,
What?
He was a perfect candidate for the position,
He already had easy access to you,
and when I told him what you were, well,
he's a journalist; he couldn't resist a story,
What am I?
Rose, it,,,
- You knew this whole time? - No,
I was keeping you safe,
By what? Spying on me?
Like I'm some sort of science experiment?
No! No, it's not like that,
Then how is it?
I was trying to protect you,
He asked me to!
But I never asked you to, did I?
- I had no say, - I know,
I fucked up,
Yeah, you're right,
I did, I did,
Rose, hey,,,
I love you,
I don't believe you!
So much for your journalistic integrity, Mr, Hart,
Burroughs, you son of a bitch!
What the fuck is this? Huh?
Is this blood?!
Your mind will answer most questions
if you learn to relax
and wait for the answer,
What the hell does that mean?!
Read a book,
Your new body is only limited by its need for blood,
You must feed, Rose,
Stop denying yourself,
At some level, you must have known that these weren't
hallucinations or nightmares,
There is a predator in you, Rose,
and it is longing to be let out,
What have you done to me?
I have simply allowed you to reach
your greatest untapped potential,,,
for the betterment of humanity,
You took away my humanity!
An outdated and overrated concept,
The human is limited, You're so much more now, Rose,
Yes, I know the price is high,
but the cost of all life is death,
Your body kills cells to sustain life,
Human beings consumed over 56 billion farm animals last year,
What you do to achieve immortality
isn't all that different,
And the sacrifice of a few individuals is worth it,
It's justified
to ensure the survival of the species,
You have no right to play God,
What God? We are God,
Ahh! What the fuck?!
Holy shit,
What the hell is that thing?
When we reached the limits of what could be done
for my wife's cancer,
she donated her body to the cause,
And now, she represents the breakthrough in my research,
This? This is your wife?!
The early part
of the procedure saved her flesh,
but then, the cancer itself became immortal,
mutating the human shell into something,,, unique,
I don't expect you to understand the beauty of it,
I was limiting myself with the restrictions
of a human-based value system,
Our humanity, as you put it, Rose,
imposes such constraint,
Cynthia was the first of many I was able to save
when I freed myself of such narrow-minded concepts
as humanity,
Rose!
Don't injure yourself!
No!
Feed, Rose,
Don't let his sacrifice be in vain,
Keep him as part of yourself,
Cynthia!
You get the fuck away from my wife!
No!
Though there have been
reports of excessive force being called into effect,
the military has contained the rabies outbreak,
With vaccinations ineffective,
all patients exhibiting the virus have been euthanized,
The CDC has lifted the public emergency
that seems to have left as suddenly as it started,
and with health officials still scratching their heads
and wondering what was the cause,
What was reported as an outbreak of rabies
has been now confirmed by officials
as a violent strain of the flu
and the result of online hysteria,
It looks like you can go back to trusting
the neighbor next-door,
though many still remain missing,
No, this isn't for you,
No, you had yours,
No, no, no,
This isn't for you, This is for our guest, Yes,
Good morning,
No,
Yes, essential immortality is very expensive, isn't it, dear?
Now, where were we?
