The Clone

A band of 13 sinister, wealthy and elite families have gathered together and formed a sinister plan to wipe out the human race and replace them with clones. These clones will serve as "sheeple". These sheeple will live in a world designed to keep the families in power while carrying out lives designed to keep them happy, yet unaware that the world in which they live is actually a prison. These families, who call themselves Omega, have commissioned the world's top scientist to create these clones under the impression that they are doing so to pave a new way for human beings to obtain organ transplants and live healthier, longer lives. Immortality is even considered to be a possibility if the program, labeled Kingdom Come, is successful.

The led scientist, Jerman Dolfa, is excited of the possibilities the success of the program can bring about. He works to the point of obsession. Dolfa's wife, Anne Dolfa, grows increasingly lonely. She grows tiresome of empty dinners, isolation, and the lack of love in her marriage. The only solution she can come up with to save her marriage is to have a child. She thinks that maybe a child will get Jerman to slow down and be more present in her life was a child is in the picture.

Jerman and Anne try to get pregnant over the course of two years. After seeing a fertility doctor it is determined that Anne is barren. Learning of her inability to have children throws Anne into a crippling depression. She is unable to get out of bed, eat, or even bathe.

Desperate to save his wife Jerman decides to secretly try to clone his wife even though the experiment has yet to reach the point of cloning human beings. The experiment has only been able to bring about the cloning of a few mice, some sheep and a horse. Jerman knows this is the only chance that he has to not only save his wife, but also save his marriage.

Jerman sits down with his wife and explains to her that he has found a special fertility clinic that is highly private and extremely experimental. Jerman expects his wife to be skeptical, but to his surprise she is brimming with excitement and optimism. Even when Jerman explains that the experiment may end in her death, Anne is entranced by the idea of being able to have a child.

Jerman takes Anne to the laboratory where he works. The lab is hidden away deep underground. While this strikes her as strange, Anne is not deterred. Her desire to bare children is more powerful than ever. She is determined to let nothing stand in her way. Not even after traveling more than 15 stories underground.

Jerman tells her the pregnancy is a success. Before Jerman leaves again for his usual month long work shift, he informs Anne that she must be careful to not leave the bed as much as possible. It is important for her to follow his instructions if the pregnancy is to be a success. Anne feels that this is odd. Still she trusts her husbands judgement and makes arrangements for all of her food to be brought to her by their housekeeper.

After a months time Anne allows for an extra week, just to be sure that she will not do anything to cause the pregnancy to fail. During the fifth week of her quarantine in her room Anne hears a stir downstairs. Thinking that it is her husband Anne heads downstairs to greet him.

Instead she is greeted by her clone. Anne faints. When she awakens, she faints again (this time for a shorter period). Anne has never known what it is her husband does for a living but now she is starting to expect that maybe this woman, who looks like her and is living in her household, has something to do with it. She does not like it. In her mind she thinks maybe her husband, knowing that she herself cannot bear children, has made a replacement for her that can. "Maybe it just isn't because I cannot have children," she thinks to herself, "maybe there are other things he doesn't like about me either and wants to have a woman that can?".

At first, she does everything she can to avoid the clone, who is trying to watch her every move. Anne thinks that the clone watching her so closely is creepy. "Maybe she is trying to find the best way to kill me?". What Anne does not know is that the clone is trying to learn how to act like a person, how to grow a soul. After a few weeks Anne warms up to the clone and begins asking the clone questions. ("Where did you come from? Why are u here?" also asking her a list of things trying to find out if the clone likes that same things that she likes.)

After being with the clone for a few weeks Anne's husband returns. He is thrilled to see them getting along. Anne confronts Jerman, steaming mad. She's upset. Is she not good enough for him? Why would he create a replacement? Jerman explains to his wife how much he loves her and that it has nothing to do with how she is. It is at this time that Jerman explains what he does when he is away working so long. That he is working on clones in order so hopefully save human lives in the future (Jerman has no idea that Omega, the company he works for, is actually plotting to exterminate human kind and replace the human race). Jerman lets his wife know that instead of having a strange surrogate mother to carry the child, Anne, or at least a copy of her could have the baby herself. Sort of. At first the wife is outraged but after her husband explains the upsides (less chance for miscarriage, healthy baby, etc.). Although Anne eventually agrees she is still not super sold on the idea.

During the clone's pregnancy the wife teaches the clone how to read, how to cook, clean, how to play the piano, set the DVR, use an iPad, iPhone, and all the things that could make her feel a bit more....human.

Everything goes well up until after the baby is born. Jerman and Anne stop spending as much time with the clone and spend most of their time with the baby. The clone grows jealous.

One day while snooping through papers in the Husbands office she comes upon a handgun, a Maxim magazine, as well as papers revealing the wife's multiple miscarriages. In addition to the paper Jerman wrote about his wife's miscarriages are papers written by Jerman about the clone and how she is physically "superior" to the wife. She doesn't know that superior means that her as the clone is physically superior but when she finds what superior means in general the clone feels that she is better fit to live the life of the wife.

She begins to plot on how to get rid of the wife. The clone starts reading "How to Get Away with Murder" novels and watching YouTube movies on how to make people "disappear" without a trace. She doesn't know if she wants to kill her, so she kidnaps the wife. She finds chloroform in Jerman's home lab and uses it on the wife as she takes an afternoon nap after putting the baby to sleep. The clone still hasn't made up her mind on if she will kill her or not. She resolves to keeping her in a trunk in the basement.

When the husband returns home, the clone pretends to be the wife. When Jerman asks about the clone, the clone (pretending to be the wife) states that, "she decided she wanted to go out into the world and create her own life. She felt that she was just a hanger on and did not want to interfere with our happiness.". Jerman finds it strange as to why a clone, who has no idea what the outside world is about, would just up and leave, but he has no choice other than to believe in his wife.

Over the course of the following weeks the clone realizes that she likes being a wife. She gets to have sex for the first time, go shopping, change the baby, breastfeed the baby, all the things that make a woman feel like a woman. The clone is now ready to murder the wife.

The clone puts the wife in the trunk of the car and drives her out to the woods. After hitting the wife over the head with a crowbar multiple times the clone feels the job should be done. She dumps the wife roadside and speeds off.

After a few hours the wife wakes up. She is almost hit by a car with a family inside. The family wants to take her to the hospital, but she insists that they take her straight home after telling them she thinks her family is in danger.

The husband is still at work when the wife returns home and the clone is tending to the baby. The clone is shocked to see the wife. She runs from her and gets to the husband’s office. The clone gets smacked up a bit first then finally knocks the wife upside her head with a lamp, dazing the wife giving her enough time to get to the gun.

The clone is pointing the gun at the wife. However, the clone has never held a gun and is pointing the gun the wrong way, with the barrel pointed towards her instead of the wife. The clone is telling the wife that she, the clone, is "superior" to her and that her own husband even said so. The clone tells the wife that she couldn't even have a baby. The clone had read in a woman's magazine that the ability to bear children is the hallmark of a woman.

The wife tries to tell the clone that she is pointing the gun the wrong way, but the clone thinks it's a trick. The husband calls around the house for his wife, prompting the clone to squeeze the trigger. The gun jams. The clone is confused. "I thought that's how you work this thing?. After turning the gun around a few different ways she ends up pointing at herself again, and firing. The husband walks in not sure if his wife is dead or the clone. Police arrive shortly after. Turns out the family who dropped the wife off had decided to call the police after all.

As the coroner is taking out the body of the clone we get a glimpse inside the body bag, the clone's eyes go from closed to open.
