According to what I know, the episode begins with the death of Cameron Deighton, the founder of Metadyne, a successful pharmaceutical company. His two sons, Michael and Spencer, are in line to become the company’s CEO. Michael handles the financial side of the company, while Spencer is a researcher.

Spencer has been working on a drug called Deighton C, which is designed to temporarily disable rioting crowds. However, the drug has been unsuccessful, killing 80% of the animals on which it is tested. Michael, his brother, pushes for the development of more lucrative drugs.

Spencer begins a romantic relationship with a reporter, Tricia Lange. One morning, he discovers that a variant of Deighton C has had a remarkable effect on a monkey test subject. The creature is now completely healthy and immune to cyanide. Deighton C appears to be a “broad spectrum cure” and a “wonder drug.”

Spencer wants to make the breakthrough public, but Michael insists on keeping it quiet. Spencer tells Tricia about the discovery and swears her to secrecy. During their conversation, he receives a phone call from Carl, his lab assistant, who informs him that all the computer records of Deighton C have been erased.

Michael claims that he locked up the records because Carl continued to work on the drug against explicit instructions. He reveals that he has destroyed all samples, and Carl accuses him of trying to bury the discovery.

Later that night, Carl returns to the lab. Michael hasn’t destroyed all the samples, overlooking the Deighton C in the monkey’s bloodstream. Carl extracts a sample from the monkey and injects himself, intending to smuggle the drug out of the lab. Michael, anticipating his reaction, uses the lab’s decontamination system to kill Carl.

Michael intends to control the knowledge and distribution of the drug to become more wealthy and powerful. He blames Carl’s death on the automatic decontamination system. Michael then visits Tricia Lange and tries to kill her using a Metadyne drug spray. During a subsequent meeting with Darrow, a senior executive at Metadyne, Michael reveals that he lied about his Huntington’s test. He has the disease and has been taking the drug himself.

Spencer goes to Tricia’s house and finds her recovering from Michael’s failed attempt to kill her. Despite the evidence linking Michael to Carl’s death and the attempt on Tricia’s life, Spencer still refuses to believe that his brother is capable of such behavior. The two of them decide to go back to the lab to collect more evidence.

At the lab, Spencer finds the monkey injected with Deighton C looking aged and sick. He realizes that the regenerative effects of the drug are not permanent. The drug actually burns off the body’s lifetime regenerative ability in just a few days, after which the subject becomes old and sick very quickly.

Michael activates the lab decontamination system again, hoping to kill Spencer and Tricia. Spencer, having designed the system himself, is able to override and stop it just in time. They make their way to the lab control room to find Michael, where it becomes clear that the aging effect of Deighton C has begun. The final scenes show a horribly decrepit and diseased Michael being treated in the lab and begging to die.

Closing Narration

“There is an old proverb that says: ‘Be careful what you wish for, for it might come true.’ And if your wish is for immortality, it is something you’ll have to live with…for a very long time.”
