Somebody "emasculated"

Sorry about asking something so nasty(I know, yuck it up right now!).

It's just that it bothers me when I don't understand some tiny little words heard in a movie while I understand most of the others.

The sentence in the film went as "I'm doing this because you have, inch by inch, slice by slice, brought me closer to a 'UNIQUE'!"

Well, perhaps the last word isn't spelled correctly, but it REALLY sounded like "unique" and it was translated into my language as a term often applied to somebody "emasculated".

I'm pretty sure that it's something related to being un-masculine or powerless or etc.

I'd thank you for your help a lot!

Have a good day.
