You want a beer?

[Ian] (sighing) You

scared the sh*t out of me.

(bottle cap thudding)

[Ryan] That's what I do.

You can't just come in my

apartment whenever you want.

- Sure I can.

- No you can't.

Well, who else is gonna drink your beer?

Listen, LeBron playing the Knicks tonight.

What do you say we forget all this stuff

and go watch it, huh?

- Alright, come here.

- What?

Look at this.

What am I looking at?

- What, that?

- Yeah.

This is a new star.

I think I discovered a new star.

Wow. (Imitating expl*si*n)

It's incredible.

It's, wow.

Listen, NASA gets paid

a lot better than you do

for this stuff, okay?

So why don't we just forget this nonsense

and go watch the game.

[Ian] Take this serious for a second.

I'm serious.

You talk about this sh*t all the time.

No, it's... Let's go watch the game.

[Ian] No, this is big.

No, it's small.

- No.

- It's small.

- This is big.

- Come on.

I need to put it on my blog.

[Ryan] Ah.

(door clicking)

(crowd cheering on TV)

I don't think anyone

knows about this star.

[Ryan] I do. I still don't care.

So you come in my home,

drink my beer, watch my TV,

and you can't even listen to

me for a couple of seconds.

Dude, I'm listening to you.

You say the same sh*t

every f*cking day, all right?

You're obsessed.

Well, you wanna see stars?

You wanna see real stars?

Here, check this out.

I already have... No you haven't.

It's brand new.

Take one of those later. Just one.

(crowd cheering on TV)

Oh, come on, Ref.

That's a foul.

(horn blowing)

f*ck.

Where do you get those pills?

Huh?

Oh, new guy in town, real big.

Listen, those pills are

probably the most intense sh*t

I've ever gotten.

Okay?

So just take them with extreme caution.

And for God's sakes,

don't take them when you see Melissa.

sh*t.

sh*t.. What?

[Ian] I was supposed to meet her.

What, now?

[Ian] Tomorrow.

Of course now.

Hey, hey, get some more beers.

(horn blowing)

(whistle blowing)

(wind whooshing)

What's your excuse this time?

No excuse.

I just lost the sense of time.

It's this new star that I discovered.

It appeared out of nowhere.

Stars?

You came late because of the f*cking stars?

I told you this was important to me.

- I know.

- You promised me.

(tense music)

Listen, I really didn't

(man whistling)

(tense music)

[Melissa] Didn't what?

I didn't want you to wait here.

You would rather spend your time alone

with your hobbies than you would with me.

[Ian] So what will make you happy?

If I don't have any hobbies?

None more important

than this relationship.

I looked like an idiot

standing there waiting for you.

It won't happen again.

I promise.

(tense music)

I promise.

(Melissa sighing)

Let's go home.

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(Ian breathing heavily)

(electricity crackling)

Okay, his pulse is active.

(intense music)

(Ian breathing heavily)

(Ian breathing heavily)

(footsteps thudding)

(light clicking)

(static humming)

How does he look to you?

Does he look like he had a

worse night than the last one?

He looks the way anybody else would look.

[Melissa] The couch is not for sleeping.

I have to get to work.

[Melissa] You're getting obsessed.

I don't hate that this

has become your hobby,

but you've become really distant.

Why?

It's the same me.

Yesterday was just a mistake.

Just one?

You think it's stupid.

[Melissa] I just don't care about it.

Exactly.

And that's the problem.

You don't care at all.

You haven't even asked

me about what I found.

It would be nice if you if

you showed a little support.

You and your brother, you act the same.

I do not act like Ryan.

You just always put a guard up.

You act like everyone is judging you,

even when they're just trying to help.

Maybe 'cause no one understands.

I hate when you say that.

Why can't I understand?

Is it because I'm not smart enough?

Is it because I had an easy life?

'Cause I had both my parents growing up?

I'm sorry.

All right, I need to go.

We can talk about this later.

Of course.

Any more conspiracy theories?

Yeah, really bad ones too.

You see what this Straus guy wrote?

Yeah.

The mind control.

It's weird.

No one else is talking about it.

It's like no one cares.

I care.

Anyway, what do we got?

Well, I finally caught up with a guy

who hacked into several phone companies.

Hmm.

Apparently those companies

have been monitoring

people's conversations.

He agreed to meet with me as long

as I protect his identity.

So, I blocked his face

and altered his voice.

[Ian] Mm-hmm.

[Man] We have proof

that with the help of AI,

the telephone companies

record our conversations,

even when we're not using the phone.

He also said that he's not the only one.

I feel like if we're gonna show

them what we're gonna do

with our project, they

might agree to meet us.

[Ian] Can you play that again?

Which part?

- I think this point.

- Here?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Man] It is disguised

as a way to help people,

but in reality it's just a cover up

for the complete control of humanity,

and it would serve a

few people exclusively.

[Ian] It sounds good.

I mean, I'd really like

to meet with him again.

You really think we should go with it?

Yeah, definitely.

Just try to get more content

from him that we could use.

[Katherine] Great.

Good job.

Thanks.

(tense music)

[Man] The lack of regulation

over time could result

in the development of

an artificial intelligence

that would recreate itself

and manipulate our society.

(tense music continues)

(utensils clacking)

So how was work?

Yeah, it was hard.

We got this new project

we're trying to green light.

These, these hackers, they,

they found out that phone

companies can track our phones

without our consent.

Who are they tracking?

What do you mean?

You done?

[Ian] Yeah, yeah, thanks.

They're probably not

tracking normal people like us.

Probably meant for people

who are planning on doing bad things.

That doesn't really matter.

It is still a violation of privacy.

Whatever.

You want other people

listening to your conversations.

[Melissa] I have nothing to hide.

(sighing) All right.

Ian.

Mm-hmm?

What's that?

[Melissa] While you were at work,

I decided to get you a gift.

- Thank you so much.

- It's really cool.

And it has all the constellations

and explanations as to why.

And all these pictures of

the planets, of the moon.

And then we have

[Man] Who gave you these coordinates?

Who gave you these coordinates?

Answer me.

[Melissa] Details.

[Man] Who gave you these coordinates?

Don't you like it, Ian?

[Man] I'm asking you.

Who gave you these coordinates?

Don't you like it, Ian?

Ian?

You don't like it?

What?

You don't like it?

No, no, no, no.

I, I think it's great.

I've just realized that I

forgot my external hard drive

backing up at work.

I gotta go back and shut it down properly.

[Melissa] Can't someone

else do that for you?

No.

There's no one there.

(tense music)

Thanks.

See you later.

Ian.

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(mouse clicking)

(tense music continues)

(electricity crackling)

(eerie ambient music)

(eerie ambient music continues)

(eerie ambient music continues)

(eerie ambient music continues)

(electricity crackling)

You look f*cked up.

Hey, are you alive?

[Ian] Yeah.

I've never been that high before.

(laughing) Yeah, I bet.

The purple pills will do that to you.

[Ian] Yeah.

I gotta admit, I'm a

little jealous right now.

You wanna get some more?

[Ian] What?

Come on, get up.

This is ground control to Major Ian

[Ian] Where are we going?

Road trip.

You really made the grade

And the spaceman wants to

know whose shirts you wear

(Ryan laughing)

(laughing) sh*t, Man.

I didn't think he'd call me back so quick,

'cause he's like the new

f*cking big man on campus.

You know what I mean?

Everybody, everybody wants his sh*t.

Where are we going?

I don't even know

where he gets it either.

It's like f*cking military grade drugs.

I don't know who he works for.

Just kind of came outta

nowhere and just boom,

took out all the competition.

I don't think I can handle another one.

(laughing) sh*t, man.

I tell you what,

I have cleared my schedule this week

and I'm just gonna f*cking

plant my a*s on the couch,

your couch, and I'm getting

f*cked up into oblivion, man.

Like I'm gonna hit the fifth dimension,

you know what I mean?

It's gonna be f*cking cherry.

I don't care.

Come on.

Of course you care.

sh*t, man.

No.

(Ryan laughing)

What?

I just want to get this

sh*t outta my system.

Oh, stop.

No you don't.

Listen, what you need to f*cking do

is get outta the house once in a while.

You know?

Get some fresh air,

which I'm doing for you.

You're welcome.

And you know what?

Mel agrees with me.

Mel?

Yeah, Mel.

She thinks you're

becoming too guarded again.

I agree with her.

Mm-hmm.

She always thinks that,

no matter what I do.

You should probably

stop giving her reason to.

Shady m*therf*cker. (Laughing)

(tense music)

Okay.

He should be here any minute.

And then we will be in business.

[Ian] Ryan, where are we?

I told you, we're picking

up the purple pills, baby.

[Ian] I'm tired.

[Ryan] Take a nap.

- What?

- Take a nap.

It's better I do the talking anyway.

(tense music)

(intense music)

What the hell was that?

(intense music continues)

(electricity crackling)

(eerie ambient music)

(eerie ambient music continues)

(light chiming)

Oh, it's the floor today.

Well, hello Prince Charming.

Hmm.

All right, let's get him up.

I don't got all day. (Grunting)

Okay. (Grunting)

One, two, three. (Grunting)

[Man 2] Oh, I'm so

sorry, not that you felt that.

Ah, he'll live.

(grunting) There you go. (Grunting)

A little bit...

I tell you, the b*stard

keeps falling on the ground,

we're gonna have to tie down.

No, he has to stay as he is.

[Man] We're giving this guy ideas

that he can break out. (Device whirring)

They would rather examine his behavior,

trying to break out than tied to a couch.

Oh, so now he's lab rat, huh?

Great.

[Man 2] They're impressed

that he can get out of the patch.

He seems to have developed

some sort of immunity to it.

Great.

That means we're stuck on

this f*cking subject. (Sighing)

Usually most subjects,

they just cry it all out when

you put that sh*t in 'em.

But not him.

He just soaks it up like fine cognac.

We got Keith f*cking Richards

over here, huh? (Laughing)

Hey, Keith.

Keith, I don't think you're gonna make it

to your next tour. (Laughing)

Ah, you got no sense of humor.

f*ck it, I need a drink.

[Man 2] Tape.

(sighing) This place is

giving me the f*cking creeps.

- Tape.

- Yeah, yeah.

Could've warned me next time

you f*cking whip that big a*s needle out.

Jesus Christ.

Okay, you need to resolve

your issue with needles

before you come to work tomorrow

'cause I'm sick of hearing

you complain about it.

It's ridiculous.

All I know is

I've seen brains pouring outta the side

of f*cking people's heads

and somehow just a little

needle just seems to get to me.

Go figure, huh?

I never figured it out.

sh*t gives me more anxiety

than my ex-wife ever did.

[Man 2] How much anxiety

do you suppose you gave her?

Hmmm, touche.

Eh, not enough.

Otherwise I would've

gave her a heart attack

and k*lled the b*tch.

And I would've been

done with her. (Laughing)

[Man 2] Sure.

Yeah.

God, he looks so peaceful, doesn't he?

I suppose.

I almost feel bad for the poor b*stard.

Now if it wasn't from my ego...

(device whirring)

Good to go.

[Man] Yeah, about time.

Let's blow this popsicle stand, huh?

[Man 2] Strange about this one.

Anyway, let's go.

Grab your g*n.

[Man] Oh yeah.

Don't want to hurt yourself.

(chuckling) Ah. (Laughing)

(light chiming)

(electricity crackling)

(electricity crackling)

(Ian breathing heavily)

(electricity crackling)

(eerie ambient music)

(static crackling)

(footsteps thudding)

Oh, where's this f*ck now?

Huh.

Oh yeah, I guess he got tired

of collapsing on the ground. (Laughing)

You can quit bitching now.

[Man] Excuse me.

(man sighing)

Tape.

[Man] Yeah, alright,

let's get this over with.

Hey, is he bleeding?

- Where?

- Right there.

(g*n thudding) (suspenseful music)

How do I,

how do I get out?

There's a, a key card in my bag.

Give it to me.

Slowly.

(suspenseful music continues)

Stay there. (Breathing heavily)

(door beeping)

(suspenseful music continues)

(suspenseful music continues)

(door rattling)

(woman sighing)

(hand banging)

(door slamming)

Melissa.

Mel.

Oh my God.

Ian, is that you?

Hey, what's wrong?

(ominous music)

What happened here?

Ian, where have you been?

These people, they took me away.

They kept me locked in my apartment.

They kept drugging me, gassing me.

[Melissa] What people?

I don't know.

But they were wearing

a patch just like you.

Everyone is wearing these patches.

Why?

What, what is it?

(footsteps thudding)

Is that Ryan?

No, that's Tim.

He's my boyfriend.

Boyfriend?

Everyone said you OD'ed.

Did you even bother

checking the apartment?

I was there the entire time.

Your apartment was locked for evidence.

[Ian] Evidence of what?

You were hacking NASA.

You stole confidential coordinates.

Nobody was allowed in.

That's complete bullshit.

Who are you talking to, honey?

An old friend.

Hey, where's Ryan?

Ryan is at work.

What time he gets out?

He gets out of work at two.

What time is it now?

Noon.

Noon?

It's dark.

I can't see you.

Why aren't you wearing a patch?

I need to leave.

[Melissa] Hey, where are you going?

Tell Ryan we need to talk.

(lips smacking)

(door clicking)

(eerie ambient music)

(eerie ambient music continues)

I'm so sorry.

Hey.

Are you okay?

(eerie ambient music continues)

She can't see you, no

matter what you say or offer.

This is her happiness.

Whatever that patch feeds into their brand.

You're not wearing one.

Of course not.

I wouldn't be caught

dead in that piece of sh*t.

They numb all their senses.

Now they believe only what they see.

Ganglion offered them beauty

and in return, they swore their freedom.

What's Ganglion?

Everything around Earth.

Most likely responsible

for you disappearing.

How do you know about that?

I was a big fan of your blog.

You are Ian, yes?

My name is Straus.

I was the one that

predicted this was coming.

What's coming?

It's already here.

Mind control.

I think you should come with me.

I know a place where no

one wear that kind of patch.

Okay?

Come on.

Trust me.

I can help you.

I will show you a place.

They are everywhere around us.

(dramatic music)

This is the safest place in the city.

Trust me.

Go, come on, come on.

Come on.

(door creaking)

(footsteps thudding)

(eerie ambient music)

(eerie ambient music continues)

For 500 points, you can

choose any painting you like.

Joan, did you meet our new friend?

You told me that no

one wears patches here.

We don't.

It doesn't stick to your flesh?

How did you know it sticks?

Did you wear one?

When I was hostage.

It made me relive my memories.

Memories?

And how did you break through?

What do you mean?

How did you block the signal

from sending the memories to your mind?

I don't know.

Why do you have to wear this patch?

Come, we'll show you.

(footsteps thudding)

Here you will meet our friends.

We started to work here six months ago.

At that time we didn't have so many

Straus, we... Yes, Katherine.

Ian.

Katherine.

(Ian sighing)

Can we, can we talk in private?

- Yes.

- Oh, Sam.

So, did you find anything?

Yes, I have some new

sequences I gotta show you.

[Straus] Okay.

(computer beeping)

I can't believe it's you.

Where have you been?

Some people, they took me away.

It's okay.

You're safe here.

I don't know these people.

But I do.

And I would bet my life on them.

You can trust me, okay?

Are you hungry?

Cold?

Let me get a jacket.

Here.

Better?

Yeah.

Anything else you need?

I just need answers.

Like why those two men kept

me hostage in my apartment.

They blocked everyone from going in.

They were saying it was a

crime scene filled with evidence.

No, no, no, no.

No evidence.

Just me.

They were running these experiments on me.

Experiments, what?

I don't know.

All I remember is that

they were wearing these,

these, these patches.

Don't worry.

It's gonna be okay.

Who are these people?

Ganglion?

They're the ones who created the patch

and then took over everything.

Yeah, yeah.

That's, that's what he said.

What do you guys know so far?

We think that there's a source somewhere

that feeds a signal to every patch.

So what's the source?

We don't know.

And what exactly does the patch do?

It controls what you see.

It's like the line between reality

and fantasy gets blurred into each other.

They made me wear one.

It felt like,

like I was living my past.

What do you mean?

I relived the last day I saw you

and it felt so real.

Really?

They kept taking my blood

and putting drugs into my eyes.

[Katherine] Hmm.

They have Melissa on that drug too.

Everyone's on it.

I need to bring her here.

Well, you can't.

[Ian] Why not?

Because she'll compromise everything

that we have going on here.

No, no, no, no, no.

She won't.

We're trying to bring Ganglion down.

Remember?

[Ian] No, no, no, no. She won't.

She's not who you remember she was.

No one is, once they put her on the patch.

I can't just stay here and do nothing.

You can help us.

It's the only way you can help Melissa

and everyone else attached the patch.

Help?

Talk to Straus.

He'll fill you in.

(Ian sighing)

(tense music)

(Katherine sighing)

(tense music continues)

Are you feeling better?

Not really.

Well, you seem to have the freedom

to make your own choice thirsty.

Thirsty, hungry?

Water's fine.

Sam, can you get him a glass of water?

Yes.

Thank you.

Okay, come with me.

I want to show you more.

- Katherine?

- Yes?

Hand me a patch.

(computer beeping)

(tense music continues)

Can I have another one?

This one isn't really good.

[Katherine] How's this?

[Ian] You get more here?

Of course we do.

How can we build it

without knowing what it is?

[Ian] How are these small patches

altering what people see?

We are working on it,

but we know Ganglion

signal feed these patches.

So we are trying to figure

out where it's coming from.

This is crazy.

Oh yeah.

Wristband please.

[Katherine] Here.

This device will keep

the contact between us.

So we can track You.

Just stay.

(computer beeping)

(device whirring)

Okay.

(device whirring)

Yep.

Got it.

And now this.

You're kidding.

I'm not.

I want you to see what

they did to the people.

Maybe you can help us.

We are the last to control what you see.

All we can do is to

fight for those who can't.

[Katherine] Don't worry, you'll be fine.

We'll be tracking you on your wristband.

Okay.

Don't move.

Katherine?

[Katherine] Almost.

(device whirring)

[Automated Voice] Welcome to Capio.

[Ian] Where are you?

[Straus] Straight in front of you.

Beautiful, isn't it?

[Ian] Yes.

[Straus] If you look directly

at me, I'll begin to form.

[Ian] It's blurry.

[Straus] Don't move.

Stare at me.

[Ian] Now I can see you.

Good.

[Ian] You disappeared.

Makes those who resist,

who don't wear the patch,

who are not in the network, invisible.

Oh, Sam, give me a patch, please.

[Ian] Everything here

is bright and beautiful.

They sell us the beautiful world.

[Ian] So people started

buying these patches?

No, they gave them for free.

And Ganglion crushed the

competition then took over.

But the question is, when

we're looking at Ganglion world,

what's happening to the real one?

[Katherine] Now you should

go outside and experience it.

[Ian] I can't see you,

but, but I can hear you.

Why don't you come with me?

[Katherine] I think it's better

you experience it yourself.

If you feel overwhelmed,

press that green button.

It'll block the patch.

(tense music)

[Ian] Hey.

(device whirring)

(birds chirping)

Hey, what is, what is...

(tense music continues)

Oh.

(birds chirping)

[Automated Voice] Are you thirsty?

[Ian] Yes, I am thirsty.

[Automated Voice] Turn right here.

(tense music continues)

(sign buzzing)

(tense music continues)

Anything else?

Have you met before?

[Ian] I don't think so.

I see you are single.

Are you unemployed?

[Ian] What do you mean?

Strange.

I don't see your profile.

[Ian] Maybe there's

a glitch in the system.

- Glitch?

- What system?

I can't see you clearly.

Maybe it is me.

I haven't experienced this before.

Me neither.

(tense music continues)

Bright blue.

That's correct.

(birds chirping)

(Ian breathing heavily)

[Automated Voice] Would

you like to go somewhere?

[Driver] Good afternoon, sir.

Where may I take you today?

[Ian] To Grand Central.

(engine rumbling)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

[Automated Voice]

Welcome to Aqua Central.

(water gurgling)

(engine rumbling)

[Ian] Who are you?

[Driver] You all right there, sir?

Yeah, yeah.

- Yeah?

- It's fine.

(engine rumbling)

(electricity crackling)

(electricity crackling)

All right, sir.

(Ian sighing)

(tense music continues)

All right.

I hope you enjoyed your ride

as much as I did, sir.

Sure.

(door clicking)

(tense music continues)

(electricity crackling)

(birds chirping)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(electricity crackling)

[Automated Voice]

Welcome to the music store.

Welcome.

You can download any

music or film to your patch.

[Ian] Thank you.

(tense music continues)

Where are the creators?

[Automated Voice]

There's no need for creators.

[Ian] How come?

[Automated Voice]

There's no need for creators?

(tense music continues)

(electricity crackling)

Don't even ask.

Sure.

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(electricity crackling)

(water trickling) (birds chirping)

(electricity crackling)

(tense music continues)

(birds chirping)

(tense music)

(Ian gasping)

(tense music continues)

(footsteps thudding)

(tense music)

What happened to daylight?

I mean, how is the patch even allowed

when it's k*lling people?

'Cause there's no one to report to.

[Straus] As I told you,

Ganglion is everywhere.

They must be stopped. (Sighing)

[Straus] How?

Wait.

The coordinates.

[Straus] What?

They kept asking me

how I got the coordinates.

[Katherine] Who kept asking?

The Ganglion people?

When they took me.

Coordinates for what?

The star.

The star?

Why, and where did you

have these coordinates?

On my star maps.

I realized that the star was shifting.

A shifting star?

Yeah.

Unless it wasn't a

star at the first place.

I remember the post

on your blog, a new star,

maybe some sort of

satellite will send a signal.

Do you still have these coordinates?

(sighing) I can't

remember the coordinates.

Wait.

What if we were to get your star maps?

Would you be able to find

the coordinates in them?

Maybe.

Find the star maps, and where?

[Katherine] I might know where.

Okay, sure.

Okay, so go.

[Katherine] Come on.

(ominous music)

I need you to try to remember.

Okay?

Where did he say he was going?

He didn't, just that

he needed to talk to you.

Are you lying to me right now?

[Melissa] No, I swear.

Fine.

(sighing) I'm gonna have two

men stationed here from now on.

[Melissa] Why?

In case he comes back.

You told me he was dead.

I thought so.

Mel, look, the fact is he's

a very dangerous person

and I don't want you

associating with him anymore.

[Melissa] Ian isn't dangerous.

There must be some misunderstanding.

He hacked into NASA.

He told me the hacking was a lie.

And you believed him? (Scoffing)

The man is gone for a year

and you just swallow up any bullshit

that comes out of his mouth.

[Melissa] You're the one

who lied about him overdosing.

What do you mean by that?

I just want to know what's going on.

He is a very, very dangerous person.

That is all that matters right now.

(ominous music continues)

It's good seeing you, sis.

(door creaking)

Hey, Katherine.

Dale, look who's here.

- Hey, doll.

- So good to see you.

- How are you?

- I'm in a good space.

How are you?

Well, we're safe and well.

Ian, meet Dale, his partner Ray.

- Hello.

- Hi.

Well, hello there.

What do you need?

We need star maps.

Please tell me you still have them.

I think I saw some in the basement.

I'll check.

You know, I'm so glad

you two are still here.

I thought people had given up

on owning beautiful things.

Look at that.

Well, you know you can't fix everything

with a f*cking patch, you know?

[Dale] What did you do with them?

[Ray] Did you look on the left,

under the stairs?

[Dale] Why would

they be under the stairs?

That's not where I put them.

Are you sure you know what you're doing?

Yes.

You can trust me.

It's a safe place, okay?

[Dale] Why do you

always have to move things?

[Ray] Yeah, yeah.

Here, I found them

after considerable effort.

Take a look.

(tense music continues)

Some of them are very old.

Hmm.

(tense music continues)

- This is it.

- You sure?

Yeah.

- Great.

- Thank you so much.

You're welcome.

We should get back to Straus.

Thank you so much.

Take them, they're yours.

[Katherine] So good

to see you and thank you.

Be safe.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

They're looking for you.

(door creaking)

- Who?

- Ganglion.

The message that Sam sent to us,

that went to everyone wearing a patch.

sh*t.

What the hell's going on?

They're looking for him.

Do you have a pen?

I'll try to retrace the coordinates

and bring them back to Straus.

[Ray] They're blocking the door.

Just hurry up.

First, I saw the star

between these two stars

and it shifted this way.

[Katherine] Hurry up.

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

That's all I can remember.

He needs to try every single one of them.

Come on.

There's an exit through the

basement nobody knows about.

Let's go.

What are you doing?

It's Ryan.

(ominous music)

[Dale] Who's Ryan?

[Ian] He might have answers.

What answers?

[Ian] I have to find out.

You can't trust him.

He's wearing a patch.

[Ian] Just go and

get that back to Straus.

You guys make sure she gets out of here.

Alright, come on.

You don't have to do this.

- Come on.

- Just go.

(ominous music continues)

(door creaking)

(ominous music continues)

(ominous music continues)

That patch is clouding your vision.

Everything you see is a lie.

Don't you know that?

You're a wanted criminal

and I don't believe a thing you say.

I was also a dead man.

Right?

(Ian sighing)

Tell me about the last

time we were together.

Who was the person you were going to meet?

Why did you bring me here?

(ominous music continues)

[AI] The world can be

a lonely place, can't it?

You struggle to find community,

to feel like part of something bigger.

You lose touch with

your friends and family.

You shy away behind locked doors,

create little tiny crates,

but you are hungry for something more.

Who the hell are you?

Looking for an attachment

won't make you a part

of something bigger, Ian.

I can help you.

I can guide humanity to a better place.

A world of peace and true happiness.

[Ian] Happiness.

Your happiness isn't real.

You were lost in your

way long before I showed up.

[Ian] So you expect us just to give in?

You already did, Ian.

Your blood is rare,

The life vein ganglion.

So that's why you kept me locked away.

All for the greater good.

And your help ended up being invaluable.

We have learned so much

from your blood and brain.

We've built a masterpiece

of technology thanks to you.

A masterpiece?

You created a city of addicts.

You all did that on your own.

I just brought a bit of product.

Your patches are k*lling people.

A small sacrifice for a greater reward.

I'm sure your friend agrees.

You are lucky to have a friend like Ryan.

I wanted to throw you in cell

after that night in the parking lot.

He convinced me to at least

leave you in your apartment.

It was helpful in getting the others too.

(footsteps thudding)

You were the first,

but not the only.

We began gathering

everyone with your blood type.

(high pitch frequency resonating)

(wind whooshing)

Look at them.

Desperate for pleasure,

acknowledgement, power.

(wind whooshing)

You work, beg, fight, and then surrender.

Your species need guidance.

This is what I've come to understand.

So I gave humanity a gift

that will always keep them coming back.

Everlasting happiness.

We have a new upgrade.

Something that will blow the world away.

Real happiness.

Don't you want that?

There's nothing you can

do to bring me real happiness.

Even if I bring back your parents?

to paint together... Ivan?

Serbian: Would you?

(eerie ambient music continues)

Serbian: Have you seen how he painted?

Serbian: Look... look at

the fish how it's jumping out?

Serbian: Where?

(eerie ambient music continues)

[Katherine] Straus, are you there?

Do you see Ian?

[Katherine] It's completely dark in here.

There should be a room to your left.

[Sam] There's nothing here.

Maybe we should go back.

(eerie ambient music continues)

[Katherine] I think I see the keyboard.

Okay, so try to connect.

Okay.

(device whirring)

(device whirring)

Did it work?

[Straus] Hold on.

(device whirring)

[Katherine] This one doesn't work either.

Gimme some of the coordinates.

This is all I have.

(device whirring)

It worked.

These are the satellites.

Take them offline.

Did it work, Straus?

(tense music)

No, it doesn't work.

I don't understand.

(footsteps thudding)

(laser blasting)

Did it work, Straus?

(electricity crackling)

(tense music)

I think we see Ian.

[Sam] Wait, are you sure

that's Ian, are you sure?

(tense music)

Serbian: Ivan, where is Orion?

Serbian: How many stars

are there around Orion?

Serbian: Can you count them?

Serbian: One...

Serbian: Two...

Serbian: Three...

Serbia: Four...

Serbian: Five...

Serbian: Six...

Serbian: Seven...

(water trickling)

Serbian: Eight...

Serbian: Nine...

(g*n firing)

[AI] Now Katherine.

No, no, no, Ian.

Don't sh**t.

- Now Katherine.

- Don't.

It's over.

You're wrong.

And there's nothing you can do.

[Ian] Are you sure?

Tell me, Ian, how do you feel?

You are dying, Ian.

That's the effects of the new patch.

It can never be taken off.

And I am the only one who can

give you opportunity to survive.

(g*n c*ck)

k*ll me and we both go down.

It doesn't matter what you do anymore.

You want to sh**t me?

I'm just middle management.

The project will go on.

This is just the beginning.

(tense music)

(g*n firing)

Don't sh**t, please, please.

I was just trying to do

the right thing. (Grunting)

(tense music continues)

We gotta go.

(tense music continues)

(device whirring)

(tense music continues)

What did you do?

- Let us go.

- What did you do?

This is the guy that was wanted.

You f*cked it all up.

Everybody, listen.

Listen.

On behalf of Ganglion,

I would like to apologize.

We've encountered some

minor network problems,

but everything will be

back online momentarily.

(electronics whirring)

Where are we going?

I don't know.

As far as we can.

(electricity crackling) (engine revving)

- You got it?

- Yeah.

Ian, you need help.

What?

Your nose is bleeding.

sh*t.

I guess she was right then.

No, don't let her get to you.

She's an AI.

It's all a trick.

Let's just go.

(engine revving)

(tense music)

So this is it?

I just give up?

We just become sl*ves

of artificial intelligence.

We gave up our privacy a long time ago.

(tense music continues)

(Ian sniffing)

Ian, pull over.

Pull over right now.

Pull over.

That's it.

Ian, you're gonna stay here.

Okay?

I'm gonna go and try and get some help.

- Okay.

- Stay here.
