will be all right. You called me Marie for the first time, instead of Laurent. You, Marie, are my latest discovery. Your warmth, your kind hands. I've got so tired without you. You must go, Marie. It's time. Hurry. The solution that I had synthesized opens vast horizons concerning the creation of any living creature, including man. Yes, that's correct, including man. Laurent. I would like to show you now an experimental sample of the work we have done. Monica Brown, 28 years old, was killed on June 12. She was pronounced dead by the coroner, Doctor Werner. Doctor Werner, please. Yes, it's true, I pronounced this woman dead. Together with Doctor Kaplan, the pathologist, I performed a post-mortem examination, and with police authorization, the body was entrusted to Dr. Korn. That same evening, an unidentified woman was killed at a night club. The biological identity of those two organisms was exceptional. You knew, right? The blood types, and the blood cells, even their pigmentation, were strikingly similar. So, the head and body of this woman belong to two different biological units. Stand up. What we see is a biological combination. Eve, as we symbolically called our patient. It's monstrous! Bravo, Doctor Korn! Great! It's beyond the realm of science. Please, Doctor. Does your patient possess all the qualities of a normal person? Let Eve herself answer your questions. - I don't know what to say. - Who are you? What do you feel you are? Existing doesn't mean knowing who you are. The doctor says... that I'm a construction, a bio-combination. Doctor Korn is a criminal! Yes! I'm convinced of that! Both Korn and Dr. Laurent are murderers! The kind of murders that they commit are not a part of the criminal code, of course. Arthur! Arthur, it's you! And I? Who am I? Tell me who I am? Who? Am I Angelica? Angelica! No! No interviews! She has just told you the truth! The body of this... The body of this creature was Angelica Guy. I'm ready to forgive Arthur Dowell. He was contused. His father died. He's still suffering from the shock. Doctor Korn has stolen my father's discovery. He's living on my father's brain. - Are you ready, Professor? - Yes, Marie. Don't you think it's time the people saw the results of another one of your outstanding operations, Doctor Laurent? Listen to Professor Dowell now. He's alive! Final word, my colleagues. Alive! It's incredible! Doctor, I'd like everyone to see how I function. - They can't, Professor. - Show them! You ARE a criminal, Doctor Korn! He should be arrested! That was the professor's wish. I shall read you his will. You can read it to them later. The drops of my time are very precious. Doctor Korn, I did not give you the correct formula. Now your solution is going into me. My death is imminent. - It's the end, isn't it? - Yes, the end, Marie. Do not try to seek out the guilty. I am the guilty one. I struggled my entire life in search of truth. When I believed I had learned it, I learned as well that the truth can be stolen. The ray of light is transformed into the deadly spark. The formula for life becomes a number in a bank account. The vultures snatch on the prey. I take back all I've discovered. Perhaps one day, another seeker of truth will rediscover it. It's simple, you just have to think. But you must be ready for the responsibility... You must care for our fellow man. And all living things. If not... I think we should work together, Doctor.
