The Darwin Incident (ダーウィン事変)

So Eva is still alive.

She is the chimpanzee who gave birth to Charlie.

She was on the verge of death when she was brought here 15 years ago.

So I was called in

to perform her C-section.

They both would have died if it wasn't for Dr. Stein.

Oh, look. I think she recognizes her son.

Charlie, she's looking at you.

It's been a while, no?

You rarely visit even when you come for your exams.

What? Really?

There is no point.

But isn't she your biological mother?

All she did was birth me.

This is truer than principles Discovered by geniuses like XY

You are so captivating That I can't take my eyes off you

We are merely beings who are just living

But we are beings unlike any other

You make me wonder

Actors caught in a drama Unaware of the ending

Our "relationship chart" is still blank And it bothers me

We only want to share laughter Yet somehow end up hurting each other

It wasn't supposed to be like this

I wonder what principles or clues Apply to our relationship

A stereo yearning to blend Like left and right

Could it be love? I don't know

Are we at odds? I don't think so

It's a frustrating thing And I can't even tell if it's real

Just how deep is our relationship? Why can't it be measured?

I want to know you I want you to know me

And what's the level of expectation When we get to know each other?

I know nothing else but the long-sought Love, and I want to seek it out

You make me wonder

Just beyond words

You make me wonder

EPISODE 3 HETEROSIS

Eva was captured by poachers in Sierra Leone when she was just a baby.

That was when her parents were killed.

She spent her life being passed around various zoos and circuses around Europe.

Then she was sold by brokers

to The Stollard Biological Research Institute in California,

as a subject for animal experimentation.

That's horrible.

But Dr. Grossman was part of the Institute at that time

and he quickly realized she was special.

He saw that she was completely different from ordinary chimpanzees.

What do you mean?

She was, quite frankly, a genius.

Chimpanzees are more intelligent than most people think.

They can remember words and symbols, and solve simple math problems.

Their eidetic memory and cognitive abilities are better than a human's.

But Eva's intelligence far surpassed such levels used for mere human amusement.

There are records of her understanding difficult abstract concepts,

solving quadratic equations,

and enjoying Wordsworth's poems so much that she even wrote her own poetry.

What? No way.

Dr. Grossman became interested in her and began studying her.

He was so obsessed with her

that other researchers used to joke about them being in love.

But to think

he actually created a child with her.

Why do you think the Humanzee exists?

Why did he…

Want to create Charlie, to make a Humanzee?

Who knows.

He destroyed

all his research data before he disappeared,

and he's known to be both secretive and a misanthrope.

I've only ever seen him once or twice at conferences.

Everyone thought he would be the next Nobel Prize winner,

so why did he throw it all away?

Oh, yeah.

If Eva's that amazing, maybe we can ask her?

About Dr. Grossman.

That's impossible.

Why?

Dr. Stein's emergency surgery managed to save her life,

but giving birth left her with severe injuries,

including severe brain damage.

She is now less intelligent than the average chimpanzee.

With her old age and weak body, she is far from healthy.

Oh, my God.

Eva's been abused by humans for most of her life.

So we want to let her live her final days in peace.

Besides, she gets to see her son in here.

I don't think she knows I'm her son.

Can we go?

I'm bored and hungry.

All right, let's go.

Hold on.

Look. She's trying to tell us something.

One, W-A-M.

It's probably nonsense. It doesn't mean anything.

We can no longer communicate with her.

Unfortunately.

- Lucy? - Coming.

Nice house.

You're back. I heard the car.

We just got back.

Looks like someone was excited.

Here.

You're Lucy, right?

Nice to meet you.

Thanks for inviting me over today.

This is so good!

Is everything here vegan?

I can't believe it!

I'm so happy you like it, Lucy. Eat as much as you like.

Charlie, slow down when you eat.

But I was shocked.

I can't believe you were the girl who saved the kitten in that video.

I didn't know that video went viral.

I wonder if my mom will see it?

You already asked them to take it down. I think it'll be fine.

Did you tell your parents you are here?

Yeah. But it's just me and my mom.

Oh, I'm sorry.

It's okay.

Ah, this one also tastes so good.

So, Lucy…

How is Charlie at school?

This kid won't tell us anything.

Does it look like he's doing fine to you?

Honestly,

I can't say he is.

Especially after that terrorist attack.

I see.

Can I ask you both a question?

Of course! Ask us anything.

Do you also think I should become a vegan?

Tell me if I'm wrong,

but this vegan food isn't about good flavors or eating healthy,

it's about doing the right thing, isn't it?

That's why that kind of terrorist organization was created. Right?

Hold on, Lucy. We're not activists,

nor would we try to push our beliefs onto others.

Besides, forcing veganism through terrorism

is against the law and unethical.

Yeah, you should become a vegan.

That's what you're asking us, right? Whether we think you should or shouldn't.

Then my answer would be, if becoming one

won't harm you, then you should.

You can try going vegan for just one meal a day,

or only on Meatless Mondays.

Something is better than nothing.

There's no such thing as a perfect way to live.

But there's always a better choice. That's what I think.

But isn't veganism the perfect lifestyle?

Of course not. Animals also die on crop farms.

Lots of modern products are dependent on the sacrifices of animals.

It's impossible to completely eliminate animal exploitation in our lifetime.

And becoming a vegan doesn't mean you gain the right to judge other people.

But that's probably what those guys believe.

Even though all humans are animal abusers.

All humans are animal abusers?

That's a pretty pessimistic outlook.

Then doesn't that mean

it's pointless to be a vegan?

Maybe.

But it's not as if we're all either saints or serial killers.

We're neither pessimistic nor heroic.

We're just normal, secular people.

I'm normal too?

I'm sorry about the harsh questions.

I couldn't help myself.

But I was surprised.

I thought vegans were all rigid and strict about these things.

We're just like any other family.

Charlie never cleans up his room. He's the epitome of a teenage boy.

Really? I want to see Charlie's room.

Charlie, why don't you show her your room?

- Okay. - Yes!

It's still not time for a shift change?

Let's listen to the radio.

They went upstairs.

The Steins are in the dining room on the first floor.

Now's our chance.

That kid, Lucy, too?

Yeah. Leave Charlie alone.

Kill everyone else.

Something bothering you?

Killing women and children never sits well with me.

No matter how many times I do it.

What? Even after rallying the troops like that?

I need to keep their morale up.

My feelings are a separate matter.

Hear that, Min-su?
