01x06 - Beautiful Patient Zero

[bunniefuu]

[people panting, moaning]

[panting]

[both panting, moaning]

[stewardess chuckles]

-Okay, it's doggy time, baby.
-[panting]

-Let's flip it. [groans]
-[panting, moaning]

It's okay, Doc. You can watch.

There's a lot to admire here.

[stewardess]
Baby, put it back in.

-[chuckles] You want it back?
-Yeah.

-You want it back...
-So bad.

She wants it back, Doc.

I'll put it back in.

You know, I've always been
more of like a...

like a grower than a shower.

But this is... [panting]

...this is ridiculous.

[clicks tongue] You really
should be more careful.

Yeah? Why? [chuckles]
We got some booty juice
on the loose?

No.
Clearly you weren't listening
at the presentation.

[stewardess moaning, panting]
Deeper, daddy.

The serum is alive
living in your bloodstream,
your bodily fluids.

Its pathogenic properties
are what made it so effective.

-[The Corporation moans]
-Pathogen? Like a virus?

-Yes, that's exactly right.
Precisely--
-[The Corporation] Hey!

-Hey, do not k*ll my vibe here.
-[moaning, panting]

Look, all I'm saying is
that we don't exactly know how

such strong viral
characteristics will behave

within such
a short-term incubation window.

What? Are we talking like...
the g*dd*mn flu or something?

I'm saying there are unknowns.

There were no necessary trials,
no study of
transmission routes.

Those usually take months,
years, and you were impatient.

It sounds like
some lab coat worrywart bull...

-[moaning, panting]
-...sh*t. [moaning]

[moaning]

[intercom chiming]

Hello.

It's nice to meet you.

Let me tell you about
the greatest drug
you ever could imagine.

No, f*ck it.

Let me show you
the greatest drug

you could ever imagine.

-[banging on door]
-[stewardess]
You okay in there?

Yeah, yes. I'll be right out.

I have to tell you,
not k*lling me is the best
decision you ever made.

I have uses for your talents.

But you keep f*cking
with my head,
I will change my mind.

Clinical realities require
difficult conversations.

[The Corporation] Well,
isn't that a ballsy approach...

[sniffs] ...for a man
in your position?

[Ray] I was trying to help.

After your dosage,
a period of observation
was supposed to occur.

Adjustments would've
been made accordingly.

Needless to say,
you didn't seem that interested
in much follow-up.

[The Corporation] Follow-up?

Man, follow-up for what?

[Ray] Side effects,
uh, anomalies.

Contagiousness was near
the top of my concerns,

and I'm guessing
that's not good for you, is it?

[clears throat]

What's that?

Honestly, my guess is
you k*lled your friends.

No, they're my... [chuckles]

They weren't my friends.

Billionaires,
we don't need friends.

We have staff
and yacht buddies.

We have staff
and yacht buddies.
Apps. Stewardess.

Apps. Stewardess.

You k*lled your friends
that no one will miss
because you recognize this.

The bioidentical serum has
huge pharmaceutical potential,

and I'm alive to help you make

the biggest antiaging drug
in the history of mankind.

A modern-day and extremely
lucrative fountain of youth.

What did I just f*cking
tell you about playing
f*cking games with me?

I-I assure you this is no game.

You think you're brilliant,

and everyone around you
tells you this
every moment of every day.

I-I won't do that.

You are a caveman playing
with fire now, and fire burns.

[whispering]
I oughta f*cking...

So what?
Every time I just sneeze,

this sh*t's just gonna
scatter everywhere?

Not that kind
of contagious. Uh...

-Y-You're familiar with HIV,
I assume.
-[scoffs, chuckles]

This guy.

More anomalies may appear and
adjustments can still be made.

Let me draw a vial and begin
to get new data sets this week.

I'm sorry,
have I given you the impression

that we have some sort
of trust thing going on here?

I'm more than just
an item of luxury. I...

I'm necessary.

Together we have unleashed
something new.

I gave birth to the life that
courses through your veins.

Let me continue
to be its caretaker.

And by extension, you as well.

What about her?

So she's infected?

Is she just gonna change
like I did?

And likely becomes
contagious herself.

Starts to become a version
of a street drug

if she copulates
with someone else.

Caps your market value
on the low side.

[imitates Bela Lugosi
as Dracula]
I want to f*ck you. [laughs]

Who in God's name are you?

Oh, darling, have you finally
lost that last lonely marble

in that dusty head of yours?

Jefferson. Jefferson.

How could you not recognize
your dearly beloved husband?

Oh, Byron,
I know you can hear me.
What kind of a joke is that?

That's so stupid.
That's bullshit.

A joke.

The only joke here is that
someone as good-looking as me

could still be married to you.

Get out. Get out.

That's exactly what you said
to me on our honeymoon.

I was drugged.

I was drugged.
No. Accidentally.

No. Accidentally.

That mystery bag of pills
that you carry around
to keep you upright

was so disorganized,

I confused the good-time Molly
for the sad-time laxatives.

Magical Balinese sunset
strapped to a toilet.

Well, you finally shed
that bulging sh*t belly,
so you're welcome.

[gasping]

[The Corporation]
Ah. [chuckles]

Yeah, ironic, isn't it?

I spent a lifetime toying
with getting rid of it,

to have it be
the only thing left
of the old me,

-my beloved third nipple,
Archibald.
-Archibald.

[chuckles]
How did this happen, you ask.

[chuckles]
How did this happen, you ask.
Well... [clears throat]
...I told you I was
onto something great,

Well... [clears throat]
...I told you I was
onto something great,

and you mocked me.

But that's okay, because
when you look this good,

you don't hold grudges anymore.

So, with my snazzy new outlook,
I will make you
a one-time offer.

I'll venture into
that deli counter
you've got in your pants

and give you the gift of mental
and physical transformation

via my hot magic load.

Magic what? [chuckles]

My jizz. [laughs]

I don't know how you did this.

But am I surprised, truly? No.

You want to amaze me, right?

Like you wanted me to gasp
at your electric car,

at the spaceship
to Venus and Mars,

and the peptides in Africa,

and a new robotic whatever.

I am not now nor have
I ever been impressed with you.

So what? Now you look like a...

slightly aging
Bruce Weber model.

And I say, go f*ck yourself.

I'm not clapping for you.

You exhaust me.

You're the same dumpster
with a fresh coat of paint,
you clown boy.

Okay, well.

Your garbage genes

produced two garbage children.

And somebody's gonna have
to hold their hands
for the next 50 years,

and it ain't gonna be me.

-Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
-[stammers] All right.

[imitates expl*si*n]

Can you imagine the mind f*ck
that the rest of
the world's gonna have?

The physicality of
a professional athlete,

the blood work
of a 25-year-old.

A single shot,

one-size-fits-all
cure-all for everything.

You're a f*cking vampire.

A Nosferatu.

Yes. [chuckles]

And you think you can
stroll back into society
without anybody noticing?

Mmm. No, no. That's the point.

I'm the world's greatest
g*dd*mn advertisement

for the hottest new super drug
that makes you
effortlessly beautiful.

Perfect even, for eternity.

You don't have to diet.

You don't have to exercise.

Well, the FDA might have
something to say about that.

-Yeah.
-The FDA?

Please.

They're useless.

They're meaningless now.
They're a-a phantom agency.
[blows]

Once the public gets
a whiff of this,

and they see what's possible,

you think some red tape mope

you think some red tape mope
or stuffy senator
on stroke medication is gonna
get in the way of this?

or stuffy senator
on stroke medication is gonna
get in the way of this?

Eli Lilly, Novo Nordisk.

Nobody's gonna give a sh*t
about that kind
of small potatoes.

Trillions, not billions.

Trillions.

This rapid refinement,
followed by mass production,

aggressively priced
but low enough
to feel attainable by everyone.

There are gonna be so many...
[chuckling]
...maxed-out credit cards

and empty college funds
when this sh*t hits the market.

I'll leave some room
in my schedule

to visit you and your friends
at The Hague.

No, no.

My blood,

and mine alone,

is the liquid gold here.

Let's just say we worked out
an exclusive arrangement.

A bulletproof one. [chuckles]

Lack of real talent was always
your biggest insecurity.

A monster who's just
simply a shiny salesman

in a metaphorical cheap suit.

Let me tell you something,
and I hope you'll listen
to me very carefully.

Your mother is the only person
that will ever remember you,

and that's because the pain you
caused her when you were born.

That's how insignificant
you are

because of the sheer lack
of capability as a human

to contribute to society.

This ploy of yours,
it doesn't make you immortal.

It doesn't save us. It ends us.

You're sad.

To turn down the chance

-to be Eve to my Adam...
-[scoffs]

...create a whole new race,
a whole new world.

You're mad.

I'm mad I didn't k*ll you
years ago!

-Oh! [chuckles]
-And that's true, babe.

I'm not going to be
part of any of this.

But I might warn the world
about what you're up to

wearing the most
delightful Christian Lacroix

from the 1988 collection.

That is beauty.

[snickers]

How much longer?

[Ray] Moments.

We have shocked
and amplified the tissue sample

to replicate
the life span of the...

-The what?
-Well, I don't see much point

in calling the Beauty anything
other than what it really is.

A fully formed mutating,
self-replicating virus.

Whoa! Whoa!

[whirring]

-What the f*ck was that?
-The end of
the Beauty's lifespan.

The latest data indicates
that roughly 855 days
after dosage...

infection with the Beauty,
a type of
catastrophic reaction occurs.

That looked like
a f*cking expl*si*n.

Ignition ketosis, we call it.

[straining]

-You microscope-humping
m*therf*cker.
-[choking]

You think you're so clever,
don't you?

I told you
there could be anomalies.

Anomalies? Sexual transmission
is an anomaly.

That is a f*cking bioweapon.

[choking]
It doesn't have to be.

How am I supposed to sell this?

What about my life?

What happens to me in 855 days?

[chokes, coughs]

Jefferson!

-Finish it.
-[Ray choking, panting]

Please. Wait, wait.

[screaming, crying]

I can save you.

-I'll find somebody else
for that.
-There isn't enough time.

Even the most brilliant minds
would take years to retrace
my steps by then.

I-I... f*ck. I can manage it.

I can create stabilizers,
boosters, treatments
to prevent the ketosis.

You can sell those as well.
I will find a cure, Mr. Forst.

I will perfect the formula.
[panting]

You have no idea
what you created, do you?

When Oppenheimer prepared to
press the button at Trinity,

he knew there was
a possibility,

however small, that unleashing
that kind of power

would ignite the atmosphere
and destroy the world.

He did what needed to be done.

Science must move forward.

Great things do not come
without risk, cost.

W-We're both invested
in improving upon
your current state.

I told you to let me be
your caretaker and I meant it.

You don't give a sh*t about me.

You just get off on fondling
your little creation,

you f*cking nerd.

I know it's been
difficult to accept,

but you are my creation.

Oh. [chuckles]

I have 855 days.

That means you have 854.

Fix the bugs.

This is a business.

I need a product,
and we go to market
in six months.

-Mr. Forst, that's--
-You keep calling me that.

Mr. Forst.

Mr. Forst.

Do I look
like Byron Forst to you?

You said it yourself,
I am something new,
an evolution.

I am superior.

So kneel.

Byron Forst is no more.

You kneel before God.

-[person 1] Ready?
-[person 2] Hit it.

Sequence one finished.

Go sweetly into
the mysterious void, friends.

This is the weirdest job
I've ever had.

Seriously, don't you just wish
we knew what the f*ck
we were working on?

Of course I do,
but good luck getting behind
the big scary door, bud.

-In another bar fight?
-[sighs]

g*dd*mn estrogen
hitting me hard, finally.

-[person 1] I'm sorry.
-Well, that's okay.

A lot more changes
gonna be coming soon,
so ask away, Mikey.

[Mike] Does it feel, like...

[person 2] Weird? It sure does.
Pretty big overhaul
going on, you know.

Well, I got to say
your t*ts are looking sweet.

[chuckles]

Hey, Clara, you know,
what you're doing, I-I...

I know it's... it's tough
and people don't understand,

but I think this
is really cool.

I mean, you're...
you're going to be
a woman soon.

I am a woman now, Mike.

-You know what I meant.
-[Clara] I do.

Like I just...
I want you to know that...

-Forget it.
-Tell me, come on.

-Forget it.
-Tell me, come on.
I was just gonna say that...

I was just gonna say that...

like, what you're doing, I...

I think it's brave
and I'm here for you.
I have your back.

You're a great man
and a great friend.

You really are.

The worst part is now...
[sighs]
...all this in-between stuff.

Be honest. Do I have
a single feminine feature?

No, don't start playing
that game. You are gonna
drive yourself insane.

Well, the barista
at Starbucks this morning

handed me a coffee and said,
"Here you go, dude."

-Kinda says it all.
-Okay.

It's gonna take some time.

And I think there's, like,
support groups and stuff.

You're the best support group
I could ever have.

Oh, could you hand me
the phosphorus reagent?

[Mike] Okay, your turn.

How about you
be honest with me.

You got no rizz.

-Hey, now.
-Charisma.

I love you, Mike,
but you don't.

I've been reconnecting
with my kids after the divorce,

and they update me
on all the new lingo.

So I mean,
what did you do this weekend?

Actually, all kinds
of fun stuff.

[chuckles]

[actress moaning]

Now, hang on.
I do have charisma.

You lack confidence.

Well, arrogant people suck.

[Clara] No, no, no,
confidence is different.

MIT grad, sweet, supportive.
Everyone that gets
to know you loves you.

You just have to act like it.

Sitting around
being Mr. Alone Guy

and playing fantasy football
isn't getting you anywhere.

And for heaven's sakes,
no more Supercuts.

Okay, now I feel attacked.
Honesty time over.

[beeps]

Look, I...
I am tired, you know?

Tired of being alone and...

I just... I'd like
to love someone and I'd like
someone to love me.

Christ, am I that awful?
Am I ugly or-or something?

[sighs] I try to be nice.
I mean, I try so hard,

but I guess
it's just not enough
in the world anymore.

Mike, look at me.

You dress for sh*t,
but your heart is stunning.

One day your princess
will come.

Keep trying.
Put yourself out there.

You should just hurry up
and transition already.

Then we can get married.

-Not unless I change
my name to Jen.
-[beeps]

Ha. Yes, I noticed.
You like her.

-I do like her. You can tell?
-I can tell, and it's great.

Declaring your feelings is
the first step in what could
be a beautiful relationship.

Did I tell you
what she said yesterday?

[Jen] Hey, Mike.

[Jen] Hey, Mike.
-Sweet sneaks.
-[giggles]

-Sweet sneaks.
-[giggles]

[Mike]
What do you think that means?

sh*t or get off the pot,
dear Mikey.

[sighs]

Ask the girl out. Or move on.

You can do it.

Good morning, world changers.

Our productivity algorithm
detects a dip in efficiency.

Please return
to normal outputs.

[Jen] Mikey, come sit.

How's things,
my favorite keyboard warrior?

[Mike] Oh, it's great. I mean,

you know, not as good as you
and your furry friends
over in testing.

My heart. I do love them.
Probably too much.

Yeah, they're better
than people.
That's what I always say.

[Jen] Right?
Drives me up the f*cking wall

every time I read
about the cruelty
these companies inflict.

-Yeah, totally.
I mean, Blackfish?
-Mmm.

Just makes me wanna barf.

Mmm, yeah.
I really believe that
we can have it both ways.

That we can make
biotech breakthroughs
that help humans

without torturing
these poor creatures.

I'm sorry, this is turning
into a TED Talk.

No, no, no, I'm into it.

I bet you know
all the little secrets
of this place, huh?

Can I trust you?

His name is Larry,
and he's my sweet boy.

Oh.

Hello there, Larry.

He hasn't been
doing so well lately,

but we're hoping to fix that.

You stay strong, Lar.

They let you take
a picture in there?

Why?
Are you a narc or something?

That little fella just needs
a little Bills jersey

and he'll be good to go.
[chuckles]

-Hmm. Big game this weekend.
-Mmm.

I'm gonna grill up some
of my famous buffalo wings.

-I'll bring some in for ya.
-[chuckles]

-You know, crepes are awesome.
-Huh?

There's a, um...

There's this is really cool
new place over on 117.

Um...

Do you want to, like,
go with... with me?

Oh, yeah, that'd be cool.

-Yeah?
-My fiancé has
a golf outing on Sunday.

We could go before kickoff
or whatever.

-Fiancé?
-Yeah.

Finally asked,
like, six months ago.

Um...

I wear the ring on a necklace.

g*dd*mn birth control
turns my fingers into sausages.

-Hurts like hell.
-Hmm.

-Things we women do, you know.
-Right.

Wait, Mikey,
were you asking me on a date?

I mean, kind of. No. It...

Yeah.

Oh, Mikey, I love you,
but you're my work buddy...

-I know, I know.
It was just a... [burbles]
-[chuckles]

[babbles, laughs]

You know what?

Congratulations.
I'm stoked for you.
That's really, really exciting.

Oh.

-Right there. Just...
-Oh.

Yeah. Right there.

[muffled] Thank you.

Well...

Oh, bye.

What? No f*cking way.

Yep, for six whole months.

-[scoffs]
-[sighs]

Do you think
she was bullshitting me?

Jen's a sweet girl,
but honestly, that's
some shady sh*t right there.

I have seen her flirt with you.

-So I'm not crazy, right?
-Hell no.

She was leading you on.

[sighs] Oh.

On behalf of all women,
please accept my apology.

I'm proud of you.

It's hard putting yourself
out there.

[alarm beeping]

[Ray] Please remain calm.
This is a security advisory.

For your safety,
lockdown measures initiated.

Please remain calm.
This is a security advisory.

For your safety,
lockdown measures initiated.

This is a security advisory.

For your safety,
lockdown measures initiated.

Please remain calm.

This is a security advisory.

For your safety,
lockdown measures initiated.

-I can't f*ck'
take it anymore.
-Are we all gonna die? Save us!

This is a security advisory.

Hey, Reggie,
do we need to evac or what?

Back in your cube, Mike.

And do what exactly?

Look,
it's a Zone 4 issue, okay?

We're in Zone 1. Therefore,
not your concern or mine.

Don't act like you
don't know the deal.

Don't act like you
don't know the deal.
Zone 4, the... the animals?

Zone 4, the... the animals?

Cube. Now.

[Ray] Security advisory update:
Lockdown measures ended.

Please return to your terminals
and resume productivity.

Have a great day.

Finally, some peace.

Not if you keep screaming.

Hey, Jen.

Heard there was
some drama in your zone.
You... You okay?

Larry...

sh*t, what happened?

I don't know.
The lab coats gave him
this stuff, this serum.

It was supposed to help him,
make him stronger,
healthier, and it did.

I've never seen such
a startling transformation
in any creature before.

Transformation?

He was a totally
different chimp, Mike.

He turned into this perfect,
straight-out-of-Nat-Geo-looking
fella.

He turned into this perfect,
straight-out-of-Nat-Geo-looking
fella.
He had energy.
His smile glowed,
his fur was gorgeous.

He had energy.
His smile glowed,
his fur was gorgeous.

His body was all filled out.
He was a perfect
muscle-bound specimen.

[sniffles] Then my sweet boy
got so angry.

[snarls]

[growls]

Oh, no! [screaming]

[screeching]

[beeping]

-[Larry screeching]
-[objects clattering]

[Jen] Larry!

Larry, it's me.

It's okay.

-[roaring]
-[screaming]

-He turned on me. [crying]
-Oh. Oh.

How could I let this happen?

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
you cannot possibly
blame yourself.

He trusted me, Mike.
There was a bond.

Of course there was,
'cause you are so good.

[sniffles]
Ever since I was a kid,
this is all I ever wanted.

Jane Goodall, Steve Irwin,
those were my heroes.

Maybe we should go back
to the med lab so those dorks
can stitch you up.

If I go back in there,
I'm torching everything
in Zone 4.

Maybe don't do that.

I'm just another phony cog
in the machine lying to myself

about noble causes
to justify a fat paycheck.
[chuckles]

You're being too hard
on yourself.

Uh, Jen... [stutters]
...do you have...

Do you have any idea
what it... what it was
that they gave him to...

to give him those muscles?

I don't.
Whatever's in cryo storage.

[sighs]

-Are you okay?
-Yeah, I just feel like sh*t.

My skin's on fire.

That's probably just
the adrenaline wearing off.

Yeah, nothing some Advil
and a weed gummy won't fix.

-Okay. Night, Mikey.
-Good night.

For real? Like some
super-transformational serum?

So much so that once
it hit his bloodstream,
the chimp went apeshit.

Wow. But, like, how?

f*ck if I know.

I mean, once I heard "muscles,"
I was like,
"Well, tell me more."

Seems a little too good
to be true.

Everybody hates her.
Don't sweat it.

[Clara] Oh, God.

[breathing heavily]

You okay?

These hormones,
they're hitting me
like a sledgehammer.

It's just... [breathes heavily]

I'm so tired
and everything hurts and I'm
tired of looking this way.

I'm tired of feeling this way.

-People are idiots.
-I don't care about the idiots.

I care about the stupid
f*cking c*ck and ba*ls

that I can feel
every time I just take a step,

and I care about the hormones
and the surgeries.

It doesn't matter.
Whatever I do, I look in
the mirror and I see a dude.

I've been misgendered
three times today.

[crying] g*dd*mn it.

f*ck.

-[sighs]
-Listen.

Look, you're beautiful.

People get too hung up
on looks. I think
it's just Instagram bullshit.

It f*ck with your head.

You just don't get it, Mike.

This is about who I am.

My whole life I've been
searching for answers

and miracles that
would make me whole,

and now maybe
there is something
just down the f*cking hall.

And you're treating it
like a goof.

Doesn't this even
make you curious?

If you took
something like this,

you would have a whole line
of Jens a million long.

Stop thinking so small, Mike.

Think bigger, be bold.

[chuckles]

[chuckles]

[chuckles] Yeah!

[grunting]

Hey.

I'm...

I'm... I'm Mike. I'm...

Hey, I'm Mike.

[grunts] Oh! h*-h*-h*!

Hey, Jen. Hey, Jen.

Ha.

[breathes heavily]

Yeah, I mean,
I work out now, so. [chuckles]

Jen, you wanna
have some crepes?

[chuckles]

[imitating Jen]
S... Sure, sure,
I'll have some crepes.

Yeah, would you
wanna come over to my place?

[imitating Jen]
Oh, sure, I'd love that.

[door opens]

[door lock clatters on floor]

-Clara.
-Oh, my God, who's there?
Don't hurt me.

It's okay. It's just me, Mike.

No. Doesn't sound like Mike.

[new Mike]
Clara, please, you have
to trust me, all right?

[new Mike]
Clara, please, you have
to trust me, all right?
Don't worry, I look different,
but I promise it's me,
all right?

Don't worry, I look different,
but I promise it's me,
all right?

You were right, Clara.

I needed to be bold.

I took it.

That stuff from the lab
and, uh...

[gasps]

And this is what it does.

[exhales]

It's really kind of
a miracle, huh?

-How...
-It's okay.

-It fell off a truck.
-[whimpers, breathes heavily]

-It's for you.
-[whimpers]

[Clara] Oh.

Hmm.

Okay.

Mike...

Mike?

-Think I got rizz now?
-[chuckles]

[sighs]

Let's do it.

Let's do it.
[breathes heavily, chuckles]

[breathes heavily, chuckles]

No, no, no, wait.

What if it gets confused?

What if it doesn't turn me
into what I'm supposed to be?

-Clara...
-No, no.

My hormones are
all over the place.

There's estrogen, testosterone
wrestling with each other.

[stammers]
I don't even know what's
going on inside of me anymore.

-Okay--
-No, no, no, but I don't care.

I don't care.

I have to try.

I have to believe

that if I'm the woman
I know I am,
that's what I'll become.

-Exactly.
-[breathes shakily]

For once in my life,

if I've been given
the chance for the outside

to look like what I feel
on the inside,

to look like what I feel
on the inside,
I have to take it.

I have to take it.

-Be bold, right?
-Yeah.

[new Mike]
Hear my voice, all right?

I've got you. I'm right here.

Yes, you're gonna collapse
from the fever.

-You're gonna pray for death.
-[crying]

Then you'll begin to transform,
all right?

-Become a new you.
-[screaming]

Your old form
literally melts away.

I'm burning!

You're gonna pass out.
You're gonna pass out,
it's all right.

[crying]

[new Clara] Is this a dream?

Did I die?

[new Mike] Actually, Clara,
you're the dream now.

Kind of real, g*dd*mn living
dream girl that you've always
wanted to be.

You deserve to be.

Go look.

[gasps, chuckles]

Oh, my God.

It worked.

It really did work.

[sighs]

[crying]

You deserve it.

[crying]

Thank you. Thank you.

[The Corporation]
I want this one to hurt.

Yeah, because we always hurt
the ones we love.

[The Corporation]
He stole my serum
and my boosters.

And not the level 3,
the tier 1-A.

It was reserved
for me to distribute
to my friends and myself.

[Antonio] He worked for you,
he stole your formula,
infected people.

You're pissed and horny.
I get it.

I upped the nerve toxin, so he
should wriggle a little more,
foam at the mouth.

I got you.

Why can't people
just leave life alone?

Is it greed or stupidity?

Beautiful people don't think
the rules apply to them.
