Biohackers

My name isn't Mia.

I'm Emma.

The daughter of Volker and Julia Engels.

Emma Engels is dead.

My parents died in the car crash. I survived.

This is from the accident.

-I moved to my grandmother's in Sweden. -Listen...

I have no idea how you got a hold of Emma Engels' data.

What I am interested in is who you work for and why you're here.

Do you remember my brother's funeral?

You were there, too.

You argued with my father in his office.

He threw you out.

Come with me.

Everything okay with you?

Yeah. Everything's great.

Okay, what's wrong?

Mia's lying.

What gives you that idea?

She faked her profile.

Doesn't everyone?

She gave Lorenz a false DNA sample.

Is that a crime?

No, but it's weird.

She said she did it for data privacy, but...

Could be true.

Lorenz thinks she works for the Ethics Committee.

-You talked to Lorenz about it? -Of course.

She wants to destroy our research.

You don't know that.

It's so fucked up.

I've been so blind.

JASPER KNOWS

Dude, are you even listening to me?

Yes, of course. Sorry.

What do you say to another round of video games? We can order pizza.

My treat.

Yeah, okay.

Decide what you want. I'll be right back.

CALLING MIA...

You had a gray cat.

What was its name again, Maunzi?

We didn't have a cat. We had a dog, Bella.

I took her with me to Sweden. She lived to be 14 and died last year.

Emma Engels.

Do you know what this means?

I think so, yes.

It means that Homo Deus worked.

What do you know about Homo Deus?

You wanted to develop a new treatment for genetic disorders.

You experimented on embryos with genetic diseases.

You crossed a line doing that.

My father investigated you.

I wanted to know if he was right. If you played a role in Ben's death.

And have you worked that out?

Yes. My father was wrong.

You wanted to cure us.

Ben probably lived longer because of you.

I'm living proof that your gene therapy works.

You're one of the world's most brilliant scientists.

I owe my life to you.

That's all I ever wanted.

To invent something that would change the future of humanity forever.

Imagine a world in which no child is born with a disease.

I had so much hope for Homo Deus, but it didn't work.

At least that's what I thought.

Until you turned up.

Homo Deus is medicine's Copernican revolution.

First of all, we have to sequence your entire genome

to find out why exactly the therapy worked on you.

It might be a mutation.

The analysis takes about 12 hours.

Tomorrow, we will rewrite history.

Professor Lorenz?

Thank you. For everything.

Are you ready?

Okay, ready.

Hey.

Yeah.

See you soon, okay? Bye. Bye.

-I've got to go out again real quick. -Now?

Yeah, a buddy of mine is working on a presentation for tomorrow.

He's totally stuck.

I can't leave him hanging.

Okay.

I'm sorry. Really. See you later.

Why did you do that?

Jasper found out that I handed in a false DNA sample.

Lorenz would have worked it out.

It was a matter of time. I should have been quicker.

Yeah, now she has your DNA and knows everything about you.

Yes, Niklas. That's the plan.

What kind of a plan is that?

I am the key.

Are you Jason Bourne now, or what?

Lorenz genetically modified every Homo Deus child.

If I can find out what she did to us, I can find the others in the database.

But I can't get to the patients' records on her computer.

We need the Homo Deus children's genomes.

The samples are in the archive of the Excellence Center.

I have to find out where.

Yes, but that's dangerous.

There's no other choice.

It's the only chance I have left.

Hey.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey.

Going so soon?

Listen, I really do like you a lot...

but...

Jasper is really into you.

I just feel like a real asshole right now.

I'm sorry, too.

But this is also kind of... nice. Right?

What'll happen to Jasper if Lorenz has to go to prison?

I have an idea about that.

-Morning. -Morning.

Good morning.

Hold on, I think I missed something.

-Weren't you with the other guy? -We weren't together.

So, those were the noises I heard last night.

I thought you had bad PMS cramps or something.

But this is so much better.

Congratulations on having sexual intercourse!

Your first time together?

Or your first time ever?

-Are you done? -Yeah.

We've got a proposition for you.

Oh, God. That's really sweet of you, but I make a point

of not having sex with my roommates.

Though you don't live here.

Listen. We have a business proposition for you.

-What is it? -Funding a cure for Huntington's disease.

And why are you asking me?

You have a lot of money,

quite a liberal mindset and you could keep 30 percent of the revenue.

It's super that you're all here right now. Okay, listen up.

Listen up.

Here it comes.

Magnetic implants. Cool, right?

Man, I need to post this right now. Hashtag "Ole Scissorhands!"

-I have to go. -Yeah, me, too.

You're going now, guys? Now?

See you later.
