Gibson later returns home and discovers Oliver had already been cloned, suspecting it was his wife Natalie (Wendy Crewson) who went ahead with the Re-Pet. He almost enters the house when he sees what could only be a clone of himself already celebrating with his family. While sneaking around outside his own home, Gibson is confronted and chased by Replacement Technologies security agents Robert Marshall (Michael Rooker), Talia Elsworth (Sarah Wynter), P. Wiley (Rodney Rowland) and Vincent Bansworth (Terry Crews), who are all trying to kill him. He is able to escape and seeks refuge at Morgan's apartment. He speaks with Morgan for a few minutes when Morgan is suddenly shot by Tripp, a religious anti-cloning fundamentalist. Tripp reveals that the Morgan he shot was actually an illegal clone. Tripp tells Gibson he had killed both Morgan and Drucker on the mountaintop earlier that day. Tripp then commits suicide to avoid being captured by Drucker's security team, shooting himself in the head so they could not scan his memory in search of other anti-cloning activists.
Gibson sneaks into Drucker's company and finds Dr. Griffin Weir (Robert Duvall), the scientist behind Drucker's human cloning technology. Weir explains to Gibson that Drucker and Morgan were both killed earlier that day, and were cloned to cover up the incident using a memory scan captured during the medical and eye exams the pilots took. However, they believed that Gibson was flying the helicopter, and they accidentally created a Gibson clone before they realized their mistake. Drucker's security had been trying to kill Gibson to keep Drucker's illegal cloning operation a secret; if it was discovered that Drucker was just a clone, he would automatically lose his vast company, since clones cannot own anything.
Weir also reveals that Drucker's human clones are embedded with a fatal disease that would kill the clone after five years, thus giving Drucker leverage to ensure the clones' obedience. Weir only discovered the disease protocol when he found out that his wife - whom he had cloned after her death five years ago - was dying of a traditionally childhood disease. Weir confronts Drucker and tells him he wants to quit, stating that he has promised his wife that he would not clone her again. In response, Drucker kills Weir, intending to later clone Weir and his wife, but with their recent memories erased.
Drucker orders his agents to take Gibson's family to make sure he cooperates with the cover-up. Gibson devises a plan with his doppelgänger to destroy Drucker's facility, rescuing his family in the process. Drucker forces Gibson to surrender and informs him that Gibson (the film's protagonist up to this moment) was the clone all along, who could not be retracted and eliminated before the blunder surrounding the real Gibson could be cleared. Drucker tries to convince Gibson's clone to reveal where the real Gibson is hiding, since he has all of Drucker's cloning memory hard drives. Drucker tries to stop Gibson II, which causes the deaths of Marshall, Elsworth, Barnsworth and Wiley. Gibson and his clone trick Drucker into a trap, which leads to Drucker being mortally wounded. In a last ditch effort to survive, Drucker clones himself before dying, but the malfunctioning machinery causes the new Drucker to have a disfigured, fetus-like appearance. Drucker pursues the Gibsons onto the roof and opens fire as they try to summon their helicopter. Returned gunfire causes Drucker to jump onto a glass roof, which cracks and sends him falling to his death. Bombs planted earlier by the real Gibson explode and the cloning facility is destroyed, while both Gibsons escape the complex with the inflammatory information.
In the end, the original Gibson arranges for his clone to move to Patagonia, Argentina, to start a satellite office of their charter business, and to keep the clone's existence a secret, while he reunites with his family and has gained a more moderate view of cloning from his experiences. As the Gibson clone flies to Argentina, the film rewinds.
The film received mixed reviews and has a 40% "rotten" rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
