Complete story — includes the ending

Diabetic scientific researcher George Gatlin ( Dylan McDermott ) discovers that he has been injected with H-Cell-24, a deadly experimental virus cell, in lieu of his insulin. As H-Cell-24 has no antidote, George learns that the virus will cause tumors to grow all over his body and kill him in a matter of hours. After hearing what he believes to be evidence that his lab partners, Sophie Wagner and Pack Brightman ( Sônia Braga and Cleavon Little ), have purposely injected him with the virus in a plot to kill him, George vows to use what little time he has left to get revenge on his colleagues. Note: This was Cleavon Little's final acting performance. He died four months after this episode aired.
