OUR GUEST
TO THE PLATINUM LOUNGE,
AND WHY DON'T YOU
COME WITH ME?
THAT'S IT.
I'M GOING IN.
CAN YOU GET ME AN
INVITE TO THIS PLACE?
YEAH, SURE.
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE?
AN OIL TYCOON?
A POP STAR?
OOOH, A CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY.
CAPTAIN OF INDUSTRY
SOUNDS GOOD.
ALL RIGHT.
YOU GOT IT.
JUST GIVE ME
ENOUGH MONEY
TO MAKE THIS
GUY SEBASTIAN
MY NEW BEST
FRIEND, HUH?
SURE.
DID YOU MANAGE TO FIND
ANYTHING ELSE ON THIS GUY?
NAH, NOT REALLY.
EXCEPT THE PLACE IS REALLY
OWNED BY A NOLAN BLACKLEDGE.
WHO'S HE?
I DON'T KNOW,
I'M WORKING ON IT.
ALL RIGHT.
LET ME KNOW.
YEAH.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
YOU REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE
STUCK YOUR PRETTY LITTLE NOSE
WHERE IT DIDN'T BELONG.
UHHH!
LOOKS LIKE WE'VE CAUGHT
ANOTHER ONE, BOYS.
I WANT TO CLONE HER
BODY AND HER BRAIN,
PERSONALITY, MEMORY,
EVERYTHING.
UH, I... I'VE NEVER
ATTEMPTED AN...
ENTIRE REPLICATION.
WELL, IT'S OBVIOUS
SHE'S NOT WORKING ALONE.
WE NEED TO KNOW
WHAT SHE KNOWS
IN ORDER TO TURN IT
TO OUR ADVANTAGE.
MEMORIES ARE NOTHING MORE
THAN ELECTRONIC IMPULSES,
SO WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
REPRODUCE THEM ORGANICALLY.
I MEAN, THERE'S
GONNA BE HOLES...
I KNOW I CAN'T
REPLICATE EVERYTHING.
THAT'S FINE.
THERE'S NO REASON IT SHOULDN'T
WORK LIKE THE OTHERS.
THE KEY IS TO MAINTAIN
CONTROL OF HER MIND.
THEN WE SEND HER BACK
TO WHERE SHE CAME FROM
AS A TROJAN HORSE.
PROBLEM SOLVED.
YOU REALIZE
SHE'S A MUTANT?
OF COURSE I DO.
HOW MANY OF THOSE FREAKS
DID YOU PEOPLE MAKE ANYWAY?
WELL, NOT AS MANY
AS I'D HAVE LIKED.
LOOK,
THEY'RE EXTRAORDINARY.
WE LABEL HER AS
ONE OF THE EXOTICS.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PRICE
HER KIND WILL FETCH
WHEN ALL THIS IS OVER?
[*]
SORRY.
RELAX, BOYS.
JUST WORKING THE ROOM.
HELLO, ANGELS.
SORRY, CHARLIE,
MAKE THAT ONE ANGEL.
WHY? WHAT'S GOING ON?
WELL, SHAL TOOK ONE
OF OUR CLIENTS
BACK IN THE
PLATINUM LOUNGE.
SAID SHE'D GIVE
ME A HEADS UP
IF THINGS GOT DICEY.
WELL, BRENNAN'S ON
HIS WAY OVER THERE
TO START RUBBING ELBOWS
WITH SEBASTIAN.
WHAT ELSE YOU GOT?
WELL, THE GUY WHO'S
REALLY BEHIND NERO'S
IS A GUY NAMED
NOLAN BLACKLEDGE.
HE'S A GENOMEX ALUMNI.
HUH, OF COURSE.
DAMN, I'D LOVE TO
KNOW WHAT EVIL JUICE
THEY PUT IN THAT
WATER COOLER.
YEAH, TELL ME ABOUT IT.
THIS GUY SPECIALIZED IN
ORGANIC NANOBOT TECHNOLOGY.
WHEN GENOMEX FOLDED,
HE DISAPPEARED.
SO WHAT?
OPENED UP A HIGH CLASS
GENTLEMEN'S CLUB?
TALK ABOUT A CHANGE
OF CAREERS.
WELL, YOU NEVER KNOW
WITH THESE GUYS.
MAYBE HE DIDN'T.
OH, HOLD THAT THOUGHT.
HERE COMES SHAL.
HEY, WHAT HAPPENED?
NOT MUCH.
HE, UH, GAVE
ME THE, UH,
ONCE OVER AND THE
BIG OLD PASADENA.
APPARENTLY I'M
NOT HIS TYPE.
I THINK HE'S
HOTTER FOR YOU.
OH. LUCKY ME.
DON'T TAKE IT
PERSONALLY.
OH, I WON'T.
[*]
SIR.
GOOD EVENING.
HEY, HOW ARE YOU?
GOOD, THANKS.
THIS IS FOR YOU,
THANKS.
THANK YOU.

MR. MCCALLISTER.
SEBASTIAN CONWAY.
HEY.
WELCOME TO NERO'S WAKE.
THANK YOU.
IT'S NICE TO
FINALLY BE HERE.
VERY IMPRESSIVE.
WELL, THANK YOU.
LOVELY, ISN'T SHE?
YEAH.
UNFORTUNATELY,
MY TASTES,
UH, HAPPEN TO LEAN
A LITTLE MORE
TOWARDS THE
WILD SIDE.
OH, REALLY?
WELL, THEN, MAYBE
I CAN INTEREST YOU
IN ONE OF OUR MORE
EXOTIC ACQUISITIONS.
I'D LIKE...
HERE WE GO.
YOURS FOR THE ASKING.
HI.
HI.
HOW YOU DOING?
I'M GOOD.
JUST PLAY ALONG.
BECAUSE I HAVE A LOT
TO FILL YOU IN ON.
REALLY?

I'M ASKING.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE
HIM TO THE LOUNGE?
NICE WORK.
HAVE FUN.
GIA...
GIA, WAKE UP.
SHALIMAR.
I'M SO SORRY.
I SCREWED UP AGAIN,
DIDN'T I?
NO.
JUST RELAX, SUGAR.
EVERYTHING'S GOING
TO BE ALL RIGHT.
SWEET DREAMS.
SHE'S NICE.

WE GOT A PROBLEM.
UM...
LISTEN, I GOT A BAD
FEELING ABOUT THIS.
NOLAN, WILL YOU PLEASE RELAX.
ROME IS NOT
BURNING.
EXCUSE US.
BESIDES, C'MERE.
ONCE WE'RE THROUGH
WITH THIS,
WE'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO MAKE
AS MANY COPIES OF THOSE
FREAKS AS WE WANT.
TOO MANY
LOOSE ENDS.
AND WE'RE SEWING
THEM UP AS WE SPEAK.
HOW CAN YOU JUST SIT THERE
LIKE YOU
