Present day. We meet Faber. He’s feeding his cat. The ritual is pretty elaborate. That’s because his cat is a jaguar. Faber trains animals for use in movies. He runs an animal sanctuary. His earnings at that job are minimal. He keeps the sanctuary open through his other jobs a difficult, dangerous job that not one person in a thousand has the mental fortitude to do.
Present day: Chapman and Faber both do this job. Chapman has been formally trained. Chapman, like Faber, supports his own sanctuary of sorts we this job. There only one animal in this sanctuary, Chapman himself. He has rarely left it. When he has, bad things happened, things that needed to be covered up. Maybe literally.
Mary is Faber’s helper. She’s new. Maybe shill be a love interest. He trains her and we learn about hybrids. We learn it’s the size of the dam that determine the size of the baby. And learn that animals tend to resemble fathers. At least for humans.
Graber is Chapman’s helper. His a guard, meant to be containing Chapman, but Chapman wants to go out hunting again. Chapman instructs him in trading futures.
Faber treats Mary nicely and helps her avoid the dangers or the job.
Chapman helps Graber avoid the dangers of his job, namely. The horrible things Chapman will do if he doesn’t get his way vs. the financial benefit to Graber if he does. Chapman corrupts. The Guard isn’t so much evil as weak
Flashback: Back to the two scientists. One is evil, one is weak. Both are ambitious. They’re creating a Bon-obo-human hybrid. Gena is Jeffries (evil guys) fiancee. She’s brainlessly in love and is into some pseudo intellectual hippy thing. That’s why she goes along with it. Will learn the difference between artificial insemination and in vitro insemination.
Present day. Gena’s offspring, the Fl hybrid, faces death with mute resignation. A life spent in a cage is about to end. He always knew there was something wrong, different about him. He views his killer almost as a deliverer.
Chapman finishes his trading day, updates his charts, completes his trading journal, resets the surveillance cameras that watch him constantly and washes a missed speck of blood from his sleeve.
Faber is dealing with blood and shooting, then we see it’s a movie set,
Graber goes into the primate room to check on his favorite ape and almost faints. He thinks he’s going to need a new job. He knows he should tell the people in charge what’s been going on w/ Chapman, but he doesn’t want to get in trouble.
Mary notices something a little strange. A door unlocked. She’s reluctant to tell Faber. She doesn’t want to get in trouble. She cleans up the mud and looks the door/ cage.
Gina is now director. Since Jeffries died. She discusses how the ape was killed and concludes it could not have been Chapman, because if it was, he has the run of the whole complex. Graber stands around like an idiot and keeps quiet.
Mary feels romantic toward Faber. She hmm she’d have to make the first move. He would not take advantage of his position as her employees. His very kind, sensual. She blurts out the thing about the door being unlocked. He says no biggie. Very casual. He says goodnight early.
Faber goes outside and very thoroughly checks the area, are the cages, all the animals. His safety measures are quite different. He has an even greater affinity toward the animals than we thought and he’s extremely agile. He finds nothing wrong. He thinks about sleeping outside for A few hours as he often does, but decide. To go inside since he’s noticed his mothers’s car.
Faber’s mother has come home from the law when Faber comes in and she’s upset.
