Brilliant

Okay, It's not too late to change your mind.

-No. -Local?

Thanks.

I want you to start counting backwards for me, from 10.

10,9,8,7,6,5...

Obviously,

but don't you think that's a little bit radical Elizabeth?

Please.

Well there goes your childhood.

Well that wouldn't be so bad.

Obviously,

but don't you think that's a little bit radical...

Well there goes your childhood.

10,9,8,7...

Oh god!

There you go, next?

Sorry.

Can I see your ticket please?

This flight returned last night.

That's impossible.

Look.

It says Departure: March 23.

Yes, that was a week ago, Ma'am.

And you can see the first two layers have been removed,

indicating that it's been used.

Do I look like a complete idiot to you?

That's not for me to say, Ma'am.

Would you like to speak, with a supervisor?

I don't need to talk to anybody!

Today is March 23!

Next...

Sir...

It's my purse...

What is the point of this picture anyway?

Don't you think it's nice to have some kind of record?

Yeah, like we really want to remember this.

You are so grumpy.

When are Liz and Joel getting here?

Her name isn't "Liz".

Elizabeth...

Everybody's waiting...

I can't I was so supposed to be in O.R.

two minutes ago!

It'll take a hundredth of a second.

Come on... Come on...

You're welcome!

-We did it. -Did what.

Hello.

Hey.

We found the gene sequence for hyper dopamine.

Got the whole thing mapped out.

Whoopee.

More brownie points for the Browner.

Okay, everybody squash in...

real close.

And now Ricki's going to pull out a gun and shoot us all,

thus ensuring she gets next year's

neurosurgery spot.

Ha... ha...

That's really funny, Joel.

Okay...

Ready?

Everyone.., say "vasectomy".

Vasectomy.

Okay, great I guess you'll have to do without me.

That's nice...

Oh crap...

Thank you...

Elizabeth...

I didn't think you were going to make it.

Are you kidding?

You didn't talk to anyone about

our little development, did you?

Um...

I might have mentioned it...

Well you know how valuable it is.

So lets keep it under your hat for a while.

You are ready to make the initial incision...?

Yes sir!

Now we're going to raise a skin flap

starting left of midline,

extending temporally

and ending in the preauricular area.

Ms. Braden.

Go ahead.

Elizabeth? Somebody? Help me.

I'm all right.

-What was that all about? -I'm okay.

-I have to go back. -Whoa!

Shit! Tom, you shit!

What?

You'll get another chance. Just rest.

This is bullshit.

I'm okay. I have to go back.

Sit down.

You've been hogging Dietrich all year.

Share your toys, Elizabeth.

Your pupils are dilated, Elizabeth.

What are you taking?

-Nothing! -It's those all-nighters.

I told you about those all- nighters.

You leave her alone.

You need to back off.

I blew it.

What are you talking about?

He was going to let me...

never mind...

It's okay, it's gonna be okay.

Ricki?

Anyone?

Sleeping with mommy again?

You're sick.

Looking at those pictures isn't going to help you remember.

It's just, sometimes I think I can see...

our backyard..my house...

my mom's smile...

And then I just wonder if I've been looking at these

pictures too hard...

I don't know the difference anymore

between a real memory and something I've imagined.

It was a long time ago.

I know.

Fuck Adam!

Put it there.

What's the matter?

It's just that somebody broke into the lab today.

I mean only stepped out for a second.

When I came back, all my notes and disks where gone.

Who would want to steal that stuff?

All kinds of people.

I'm gonna have to be more careful.

Did you lose a lot of work?

Nothing I can't copy out again.

From memory...

Yeah.

Well, then if you can remember everything

why do you have to take notes?

Cause, I just want to be normal.

Elizabeth, I don't want you

working alone late at night anymore.

Yeah, right...

Joel I have to ask you something.

What?

You said you weren't going to include neurosurgery

in your list of choices.

I didn't... Why?

Oh ... It's just that I saw something...

a printout, it said you've go that position.

A printout?

I know, I'm sure it's just a prank.

Yea, It has to be.

My whole submission is based on Cardiology now.

You know that!

Yo! ho!

You have to get out of here, prisoner!

I just need another minute.

Close the door okay, thanks.

So this is the gene

that gonna give everyone a photographic memory?

Hardly.

It just affects the brain's ability to produce

hyper-doparnine.

You're really not supposed to see this.

Sorry.

It's going to be public soon anyway.

Did you ever figure out

why we just don't all have a great memory?

Most people's brains down-regulate

the amount of hyper-dopamine.

It's like nature doesn't really want us

to remember very well.

Interesting.

Okay, we can go now you know.

Well, why don't you show me a little more.

I can't.

Don't tell me any secrets, just show me stuff.

Come on, just a little.

We found a new restriction enzyme that allowed us

to isolate the suspected base pairs responsible

for its production in the brain.

There are numerous possibilities for treating

such degenerative disorders like Alzheimer's.

And this treatment would be through gene therapy?

Direct injection into the ventricles

adjacent to the hippocampus.

See this little guy right here?

He gets direct injections of hyper-dopamine.

But the effect wears off.

Now he doesn't see or hear very well

so it's not going to hurt him.

Okay... here we go...

He knows the way. He just forgot.

Holy cow.

That's cool...

Okay, so when will people get enhanced therapy?

That's not what this research is for.

Well, why not what do you mean,
