Bieffekterna (Origin) (Bieffekterna)

Can I look now?

No, not yet.

Okay, you can look now.

Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday to you...

May you live for a hundred years...

What's wrong?

I love you.

Come.

Come on!

Come on, let's swim all the way to the sunrise!

Julia!

What does it mean to be human?

Our genome contains over 20,000 genes...

And three billion base pairs...

That make us into who we are.

But in their smallest components...

They are genetic switches...

That tell the genes to be on or off.

1 or 0.

Imagine a future...

Where you won’t have to worry about diseases...

Like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's.

Imagine being able to see, even if you were born blind.

If we manage to prove...

That the properties of the Influenza virus...

Can slow down the aging process in the yeast spores...

It would lead to breakthroughs we can't even begin to imagine.

Sure, but we can't...

Julia...

We can't keep doing the same tests...

If we’re not getting any results.

It will work!

If only we could try to modify the cell cultures...

We won't have time for that!

We could try using Bio-bricks.

The Italian scientists I've been talking...

Julia, when you have graduated...

You can do whatever the fuck you want!

But we have to deliver results!

If the institute loses their patience they will withdraw our grants.

Bergman.

If we try to use the enzyme Julia has been working on...

Rebecca! We've been working on this...

Since you started assisting me.

We're so fucking close now!

Erik!

Great to see you. Are you alright?

Yeah, I'm a lot better...

Okay...

Let's do this.

Rebecca, add IGF-1 to 37B...

But leave 37C neutral.

How is the cell culture pH?

It's at 7.3, right where we want it.

Erik, will you check the code?

The DNA-simulation looks good.

Has the code been compiled?

I wrote some new functions to modify the amino acids.

Otherwise it's the same we've always been working on.

You can just run it.

Erik, turn off the safety checks.

We have to increase the intensity.

Do it.

How many becquerel are we at?

It's increasing rapidly!

Shut it down!

Wait!

Julia! Shut it down!

Not yet! Wait!

Shut it down Julia!

Fuck! The samples are destroyed!

Julia what the hell are you up to!?

Robert, wait!

But he died in the last episode...

Come on Rebecca, no damn spoilers!

It's in the books. It's not a spoiler.

How is it my fault that you can't read?

Let's throw away the cell cultures and sterilize.

What if we could have gotten it to work?

We could have really made a difference...

Do you want to try again?

No...

It's not working.

The hypothesis doesn't hold.

Damn it Rebecca.

You don't spoil that kind of stuff.

It's Sean Bean...

So?

He always dies...

Check this out.

No...

Yes! It's so damn funny!

One of the cell cultures...

It's still alive...

That's not possible.

Which one is it?

If the radiation didn't kill them...

They should have reached the Hay-flick limit.

Something has to be wrong.

What the fuck...

It's over the Hay-flick limit!

The cells are still dividing!

Close the door...

If this is correct, then it's insane!

Run the tests again...

Holy Shit...

If we could transfer the genetic modification to plants...

We could get fruit and vegetables to age a lot slower.

If food lasts longer we could reduce the amount of global transport.

We could... we could split the planet's resources more fairly...

It would be a huge step forward...

To reduce hunger and starvation!

Let's just keep testing and see how far we can take it!

Erik...

Do you think I could wear this at the Nobel Award dinner?

I'm sorry honey, I'm really tired.

Are you coming to bed?

Yeah, I'll be there in a second...

If the University doesn't support us on this...

Then one of the large companies will.

Yeah, probably but then they will patent everything.

And we will lose all control.

What the hell is this?

Why haven’t you said anything?

How long have you known?

Honey, I...

How long have you known?

I didn't want you to...

I didn't want you to get worried.

Are you stupid?

I thought you were doing okay now!

Let go of me!

Honey!

The cancer is aggressive.

And they discovered it way too late.

Listen to me...

No, I'm not going to listen now...

The tumors are spreading.

There is nothing they can do anymore.

It was too late. It was too late.

Let go!

Julia listen to me!

I didn't want to hurt you.

I didn't want to scare you!

Julia. Honey. Honey!

Honey...

My dearest love...

I didn't know how to tell you.

There has to be something they can do!

They can't do anything.

That's why I didn't want to tell you...

How much time do you have?

I don't know...

Weeks, maybe months.

Please forgive me.

Forgive me.

It's not your fault...

This is anything but your fault.

But there has to be something we can do.

We could... we could use the enzyme on...

- Yes! If we... - Honey...

The experiment...

We're not even close to animal trials!

It's too long until then...

I don't have that time anymore.

I don't have that time.

Honey, please listen to me now.

Listen to me.

I don't want to die in hospital.

I'm not going to let you die at all.

What do you mean you can't help him?

I am his family!

But there has to be something!

Alright number nine. Your turn.

I don't get why you're in such a hurry.

I don't want to go to more mouse funerals.

Come on. Before Bergman gets here.

He's never here on Thursdays. Don't worry.

Well, Mr. Jingles looks like he's alright...

Erik...

If there was a way...

To cure you...

There isn't...

We can't do this!

Do you have a better idea?

Draw a blood sample and put it in the centrifuge.

Rebecca! Help me!

We don't know what could happen!

Alright. Then you can leave.

Erik will die if we don't do something.

And I'm not just gonna sit here and watch!

Alright...

Do you have the code?

It's on the USB stick.

I copied Bergman's file structure.

Are you seeing anything?

Wait, it's analyzing...

When we find the right base pair...

We can insert the modified proteins into Erik's DNA.
