This is Daniel Strauss.
If you're listening to this, I'm dead.
I want to take this opportunity to tell you the truth.
You have something to show me?
Yes.
Rebecca, I'm sorry about the other night.
I know you didn't have a good time.
I see you put in another supply request.
Yes, I did. I just need your approval.
This is getting expensive.
Oh, my God.
You did it.
Can it hear us?
Not yet.
Let's celebrate.
Can I take you to dinner? We'll go out.
Daniel, when is this going to be ready?
Any day. Just a few more things.
Excellent.
I will be approving your supply request.
Keep up the good work.
Yeah.
Bye.
I've never tasted copper.
But I know what it would be like.
It would have a citrus flavor to it.
Bitter and sugary.
That's what I always tasted about a minute or so before it happened.
When I knew it was about to happen,
I would have to find a secret place,
a place by myself,
so nobody could see me.
Sir.
If she found out.
Yes.
I've taken the project away from you.
I don't know if she's dead or alive.
But she's definitely dead.
I will not forgive you.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Well, um, that picture was taken at Uncle Phil's lake house.
That's the dad on the left.
I remember his hands smell like fish guts.
That's mom.
Mm-hmm.
And the middle is the original, you.
Wishing that Uncle Phil would hurry up and take the picture.
Yeah.
What?
Nothing.
I was just thinking, what it's going to be like for you to present me as a success.
What do you think she'll say?
Everyone in this room has so much to be proud of.
And I know that I've asked a lot out of each of you.
And I thank you.
I'll be working with you over the next few weeks.
We'll start by compiling all the data from the last few days.
After we finish first pass analysis,
we'll screen to see if I have any abnormal T cells.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure which one of you I should be addressing here.
Um, you can talk to me.
Does it feel strange to see yourself behind the podium?
No, I think he looks good.
Next question.
Do you remember your first kiss?
My first kiss.
Oh my God.
I do. I do.
I like your shirt.
Yeah, it's...
It's Daniel's.
It's Daniel's.
It is.
Do you remember your first kiss?
I do. I do.
But do you remember how it felt?
I don't... I don't know. I don't think so.
I was 11.
It was summer.
And I was sitting under this big tree
with Adam Love.
And my father told me to stay away from this boy.
He was troubled.
But I couldn't.
So we're sitting there, talking.
And he leaned over.
And he gave me...
My first kiss.
My first kiss.
My first kiss.
My first kiss.
Daniel.
What?
What are you doing?
I'm not doing anything.
I saw you.
You saw what?
Oh God.
Daniel, she just came over.
I didn't call her. She just showed up. Okay?
Daniel.
Daniel.
What's going on?
What is going on?
It's fine. He's having an epileptic seizure.
Epileptic seizure?
Yes.
This is nothing new. He's been dealing with this his whole life.
Daniel.
It's my experiment and I'm making the decision that it's time for it to end.
And why is that?
Because there are instabilities in Dan that you don't know about.
Or is it because you have epilepsy and Dan doesn't?
I saw you.
You jeopardized everything by making unauthorized changes without my permission.
Here's what's going to happen, Daniel.
Pack your things and I want you gone.
At least for 30 days until I can fully examine the ramifications of what you've done.
All I've done is something special.
You've given me no choice.
Daniel.
Hey.
Where do you think you're going?
Okay.
I'm going home.
I don't want to fight.
Why'd you let her see me like that, Dan?
How long are you going to keep it up?
Hmm?
No answer me.
How long?
She is gorgeous.
What am I supposed to do?
You're supposed to be me.
You're supposed to be me, Dan.
Okay.
Dan.
Let it go now.
What are you doing?
Nothing.
It's kind of late to still be here tonight, right?
Okay, just stand right there, okay?
Don't move.
I didn't want it to go this way for us.
I just want everything to be alright.
How's that?
Because I care.
That is bullshit.
I have seen with my own eyes what you care about.
Daniel, look.
Daniel, nothing.
Don't you say a word.
When I created you, I thought I was on top of the world.
I mean, when I felt like you were going to be a success,
I believed that I actually fulfilled my purpose in life.
And then you, you go and you betray me.
You are nothing.
You are an experiment that is all that you are.
Get out of here.
And go.
Damn.
I am not just an experiment.
Oh, yeah?
Daniel.
This is,
This is Daniel Strauss.
If you're listening to this, I'm dead.
I want to take this opportunity to tell you the truth.
I failed as a scientist because I betrayed the rules
I set out for myself at the onset of this experiment.
I failed to disclose pertinent information about myself.
I find no hope in my work.
Dan is a better me than me.
I don't know who me is anymore.
Goodbye.
Fuck off.
I can't.
For God's sake!
You
You
You
You
