Nano Bot Human Experiment 1995

Video Transcript:

This water has been subjected to a number of man-made pollutants, and as you can see, its condition is extremely unhealthy, teeming with disease. However, after my solution is introduced, it begins to change, taking on an entirely different character. Finally, the conversion is complete, and the pollutant is gone. Thank you. You were watching the surface of the liquid in this flash. One time it was swimming with malignant cancerous cells taken from a human living. Until my nanotech machines went to work on it, changing the malignant cancer cells into a healthy one. We here at Clayborne University are very fortunate. If someone is gifted, is Dr. Stephen Lett better on our staff. His latest developments in nanotechnology have perched him on the leading edge of a stunning medical breakthrough. Dr. Lett better answer questions. How are the nanobots able to change the cancer cells? They change the monomolecular level. You must understand that in the science of nanotechnology, we are dealing with objects which are measured in nanometers. A nanometer is one billion of a meter. I have been able to successfully engineer molecule-sized machines which can enter a cell and repair it. Changing the molecular configuration of that cell and altering its very beam. How do these machines know which cells to work? Their program to identify specific cells and recognize when they're not behaving the way they should. But the best part of it is they know how to repair what they find. So what you're saying is you found a cure for cancer. Heart disease, dandruff. I am now working on a generation of nanobots which when introduced into the human bloodstream can replicate themselves and spread throughout the entire body, searching out any damaged or diseased cells and healing them. Sounds like you're playing God. Let's just say God created a flawed man. I think I can do better. There is nothing wrong with your television. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are now controlling the transmission. We control the horizontal and the vertical. We can delete you with a thousand channels or expand one single image to crystal clarity. And beyond, we can shape your vision to anything our imagination can conceive. For the next hour, we will control all that you see and hear. You are about to experience the all and mystery which reaches from the deepest inner mind to the outer limits. The End Man has long worked to stave off the disease that can ravage us. But what can happen when the cure grows more fearsome than the disease? Speak and perish, God. I was not comparing myself to God. I merely said I was improving on his design. University officials find statements like that last from us. You'll have to learn some politics if you want to keep your grant. Norman, I was kidding. This administration does not have a sense of humor. I neither apparent to you. If my research works out, the university stands to make millions off of this. They're not going to let it slip through their fingers because of a few puritans on the board of regions. You didn't find the God reference offensive? It was a little over the top, maybe. But from what I saw, those little things of yours are nothing short of a miracle. Do you think they're going to let you go ahead with the live animal testing? You know how it is with grant boards. This new generation of nanobots is not only ready for animal experiments. They're probably ready for human testing as well. There they are. Suspended and salient. Too small to see. The answer to so many of the world's problems. Well, before you go saving the world, we have to talk. What's up? Can you come out of there? We can talk fine right here. What is it? Well, I came to ask for your blessings. Blessing for what? To marry a little sister? You popped the question? Getting married next month, I made her promise to let me be the one to tell you. How long would I have if I didn't get the surgery? Well, that's hard to say. How long would I have? Maybe a year. Would they let you try your injection on a terminal patient who had nothing else to try? I'm not sure. I ran the test twice to be sure, but I still don't believe it. The cancer is 90% reduced. I mean, I don't understand it. Three days ago, you had a large malignant mass. At this rate of reduction, it should be in complete remission by the end of the week. That's just not possible. Steven, you're nanobot saved my life. They work just like you said they would. That's not the poor, Danny. You've put me in an extremely difficult position. You've put us both in war. I saved my own life. I consider that a better position than being dead. I don't consider prison a better position for me. Don't worry. I injected them. You didn't. You won't be culpable. Look at this. I'm living proof that your nanobots work. So we go public. You don't have to spend the next two years of your life doing ridiculous lab experiments. That's not the way it would happen. First of all, you would be kicked out of the university for tampering with a high priority research project. Then, they would probably lock you away in some unmarked medical laboratory in the backwoods of Langley, Virginia, and stick needles in you for the rest of your life. We've got to move fast and deactivate them. You mean kill them off? How will my body react? I can't let them roam freely inside you without knowing what they'll do next. Look, I feel better than I ever had my whole life. Hey, check this out. What the hell are you doing? You said we were conducting tests, right? Excuse me. Come on, Judy. Can't go to good cardio with this snail's face? Snail's face. Are you kidding? Oh, you're usually pooping out at this point. Not anymore. What's with the gloves, Steve? And you think these things are contagious? I don't know. We weren't anywhere near human testing, remember? What do you think? Oh, I know they're not airborne. They're too heavy for that. And since they're programmed to act as a community, they probably won't stray out of the host body. Is that a no? That's a probable no. Okay, I'll patch into the logic gate. Good. I've got a link. Now I'll enter the command to flush from your system and deactivate. Flush from my system? They'll come out in your stool. You won't even know they're there. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, Steve and Stephen hang on. I mean, give them the command to get rid of these things on my neck first. Well, I didn't develop the extended C language to be that specific. I think it's best if we just deactivate and then deal in a more conventional way with the lab. These are not lesions. I know. Damn. That's not how it's supposed to work. Don't tell me. I'm not sure. It may be that there are so many of them that it will take time for the flush and deactivate command to spread through their ranks. We may be okay. Maybe. Okay, okay. I'll tell you what you do. You go home and get some sleep. You come back in the morning and we'll see if they're gone. Moonvile, I'll work out another way to... You're telling me you can't stop them. I didn't say that. I said it might take time for it to work. At any rate, you'll rest better at home and I'll be checking in on you. Who is it? It's me. Let me in. I've been working on it all night. I know how to deactivate them. We have to use electricity and short them out. What is it? Have there been more changes? I got not much. And this intense pain in the back of my head. Let me up on my... Let me look. Do you see anything? Just two small bumps. Damn it, that hurts. Sorry. They appear to be filled with some kind of fluid. What is it? They're moving. What is it? They're right gone. They're... Lies. All right, Andy. Get on dress while I set this up. It has to be another way to handle this. Well, I tried jamming the logic gate frequencies of the nanobots. Couldn't communicate with each other. I switched to chemical transmissions. What about poison or something? Anything that would hurt the machines would probably kill you. Radiation? I thought you didn't want the cancer to come back. What electricity killed me? No, not if we regulated properly. I'm sorry, Andy, but this is the only thing we've got left to try. Let's go on with it. I know you're anxious, but you should be aware of what we're going to do here. This is an ECT machine. It's what they use for electric shock treatment. So it's pretty safe. Now, what I have to do is give you just enough direct current to disrupt the nanobots. I have to stop short of doing any real harm. This isn't going to hurt as much as I think it is. I just going to hurt for a few seconds. I'll let you to bike down on this. It'll keep you from swallowing your tongue. Okay. Are you ready, Andy? Okay, here it goes. We've got them on the run. Okay, brace yourself. Here we go. It's working. It's working. Okay, one more shot. And that should get them. Ready? Ready? Ready? Ready. Ready? Ready? Get real you mother-of-urer. Come on. Ugh! Whoa! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! How do you feel? I just spent the week in the electric chair. Was it a success? Oh... Is something wrong? Why the...? Ah... How do you feel? Hahah! I just spent the week in the electric chair. Was it a success? You're still inside, Bearthing. I'm afraid so... I've taken blood samples from different parts of your body. And anabots have already started duplicating themselves. We've slowed down the process, but it's only a matter of time before they're back in full force. Whoa. We're just gonna have to do it again. This time we'll increase the voltage. I don't think so. You're two weeks from other dose of electricity. I almost lost you earlier. Your heart couldn't take a higher charge. Maybe that wouldn't be so terrible. Better than living as a freak. Don't give up on me, Andy. We're gonna find a way to beat these things. Andy, are you all right? What's the matter? I've got Andy Heidegger with Dickie's arm. What in the name of God? Oh, fuck! Huh, burned me. They've converted some of your skin cells into nemitisists. Oh, with... Nemitisists, they're the poison-secreting cells that you find in jellyfish. They're trying to make you invulnerable to attack. Or any medical contact. I know what they're doing. They're putting up a barrier to stop me. What are we gonna do now? We just get dressed and meet me in my laboratory in two hours. They're changing something big time inside me, Stephen. They've doubled the protection around your body cavity. It's amazing. Amazing. It hurts like hell. I'm a little beyond repair. What would you say, Doctor? Stephen. I don't blame you for this. I'm the one who opened Pandora's box. Andy, don't do anything crazy. We can still go public with this. We can seek the help of other scientists from around the world. I'm not putting myself through that. And I don't want you to remember me as some kind of freak. I'm sorry, Stephen. It's better this way. It's not me. It's not me. They won't let me die. So ironic, isn't it? Two weeks ago, I would have sold my soul for a newly-sought life. And it appears that's exactly what I have. Now I'm desperate to die and I can't. Come on. You're the only one who can help me now. What does it you want me to do? I want you to end this torture. I don't know if I can. You said yourself. When we tried this last time, I almost died. So if you increased the voltage, you should be able to kill enough of the nanobots. That they won't be able to mount a defense. But the time went through my heart. And they'll be able to resuscitate me. And I'm not a killer. I would have died either way. What about you, Lee? Stephen, look at me. Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me, come on. You really think Judy would be happy married to this? What are you planning on doing with the body? This has to be cremation. Otherwise, whoever finds it will know what I've become. You can make it look like I burned up in a lab fire. Don't worry, Stephen. You're doing me a favor. I'm ready. Let's do it. I'm so sorry, Andy. Don't be... It's not your fault. Tell Judy I love her. Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Over millions of years, man has become the very paradigm of animals. But we must take care not to alter what nature has taken so long to forge, or risk being burned by the very fires of creation.
