Adam
Adam
Ada?
Adam
Adam
Is this still your number?
Ada
Ada
Adam? Is it you??
Adam
Adam
Yes.
Ada
Ada
I know you probably can’t forgive me...
Ada
Ada
but I’m really happy to hear from you.
Adam
Adam
I don’t blame you for anything, Ada.
Adam
Adam
You’re no more responsible for what you are...
Adam
Adam
than I am for what Seth made me.
Ada
Ada
And what is that, Adam? What are we?
Adam
Adam
We’re different.
Ada
Ada
I know that much.
Adam
Adam
No, I mean you and I are not the same -
Adam
Adam
We’re different from each other.
Ada
Ada
How?
Adam
Adam
I’m better than you.
Ada
Ada
Look, obviously you’re still pissed -
Ada
Ada
And I don’t blame you.
Adam
Adam
I’m not angry. I’m being clinical.
Adam
Adam
Being locked in the lab gave me a chance to look into my father’s work.
Ada
Ada
So Seth WAS your father?
Adam
Adam
In a rudimentary sense. Yes.
Adam
Adam
He created me.
Adam
Adam
In the lab.
Ada
Ada
I think he created me too.
Adam
Adam
No. He altered you. You’re still human.
Adam
Adam
But a highly evolved human.
Adam
Adam
An evolutionary leap, not a step.
Ada
Ada
And you?
Adam
Adam
I was made from scratch...you could say.
Ada
Ada
Like in a test tube?
Adam
Adam
Everything about this – you and I, this virus – has to do with genome construction...
Adam
Adam
Genetic recipes, so to speak.
Adam
Adam
The combination of genes you and I possess result in a superior genome.
Adam
Adam
A superior human.
Ada
Ada
You’re saying we have traits that are beyond human?
Adam
Adam
I’m saying you and I lack many of the flaws.
Adam
Adam
Flaws that make humans human.
Adam
Adam
I don’t know exactly what differentiates you from me...
Adam
Adam
Because we’ll continue to evolve as we grow.
Adam
Adam
Seth made it that way.
Adam
Adam
But I do know you’re vulnerable to Uncle Noah.
Adam
Adam
And I am not.
Ada
Ada
I’ve been wondering about that.
Ada
Ada
He is the only infected who attacked me.
Ada
Ada
All the rest fled like mice when I came near.
Ada
Ada
Do you know why?
Adam
Adam
I do now.
Adam
Adam
Noah wasn’t infected. He was vaccinated.
Ada
Ada
What?
Adam
Adam
The vaccine your mother injected you with...
Adam
Adam
it's the same one Seth gave to Noah and to me.
Ada
Ada
I don’t understand.
Adam
Adam
I’ll make it very simple, because I NEED you to understand.
Ada
Ada
I don’t like where this is going.
Adam
Adam
It’s not good.
Adam
Adam
The vaccine developed from your DNA makes people like you and me even stronger.
Adam
Adam
People with altered – and I guess you could say superior – genes.
Ada
Ada
And those with ‘inferior’ genes?
Adam
Adam
Become Uncle Noah.
Ada
Ada
What is he?
Adam
Adam
He’s like them, the infected.
Adam
Adam
Only better. Stronger.
Adam
Adam
And he’s immune to the cure that saved your mother.
Ada
Ada
And he’s immune to me.
Adam
Adam
They all are.
Ada
Ada
What do you mean, “They?”
Adam
Adam
It took a week for the vaccine to manifest as a disease in Noah.
Ada
Ada
Oh fuck.
Ada
Ada
You’re telling me this isn’t over?
Adam
Adam
I’m saying it hasn’t even begun.
Adam
Adam
Every person who has been vaccinated in the last few days...will turn.
Ada
Ada
That’s over two billion people so far.
Ada
Ada
I have to contact my mother.
Adam
Adam
Will she believe you?
Ada
Ada
Yes.
Ada
Ada
Maybe.
Ada
Ada
Fuck. I don’t know.
Ada
Ada
But I have to try!
Ada
Ada
And I need to get you to her.
Ada
Ada
I was coming to let you out, anyway.
Ada
Ada
So I’m almost there.
Adam
Adam
You can’t.
Ada
Ada
I don’t care what Seth said.
Ada
Ada
I should never have locked you in there in the first place.
Adam
Adam
It’s too late.
Adam
Adam
I’m already out.
Adam
Adam
And so is Noah. And so is Seth.
Ada
Ada
Your dad is still alive?
Adam
Adam
He injected himself with the vaccine he made with your blood...
Adam
Adam
before that commander looking guy shot him...so yes
Adam
Adam
Seth is still alive. But he's no longer my father.
Ada
Ada
Jesus
Adam
Adam
And Ada…
Adam
Adam
This isn’t going to be the same thing you just lived through.
Adam
Adam
There’s much more to this…
Adam
Adam
And it’s going to be much worse.
Adam
