[CAMERA SHUTTERS CLICKING]

[PENSIVE MUSIC PLAYING]

How did we get here?

To this place.

This moment.

[PENSIVE MUSIC CONTINUES]

If we could see the cosmic shape

of every choice we've made,

would it look like a straight timeline?

A staircase?

A Mobius strip?

I came here,

because my choice, was simple.

- Live...
- [SWIFT WHOOSH]

Or die.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

I am an immigrant.

A refugee.

To survive,

I had to be...

Reborn.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]

To evolve,

I had to step,

into a new skin.

[FLESH SQUELCHING]

[MUSCLES CRACKING]

Like Lazarus,

I had to rise,

from the valley of shadows,

and become...

[MALE VOICE SPEAKS
INDISTINCTLY ON RADIO]

Something more.

[RHYTHMIC CLAPPING]

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

[DRAMATIC MUSIC CONTINUES]

Which brings us to
the reason you're here.

You came to answer the question

the world's been asking.

Who am I?

[MUSIC DIES DOWN]

Well, according to the hurricane season

of theories on the interwebs,

that gaping maw we stuff and stuff,

with bits of ourselves
in the ridiculous hope

that it'll give us something back,

I am the socially,

and grammatically challenged
recluse, who snorts fire ants...

[AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

While hallucinating
with my personal army,

in my desert bunker,

- which is shaped like an egg.
- [AUDIENCE LAUGHS]

They call me...

A tyrant.

A king.

A tech god.

Willy Wonka.

Up to my Gobstoppers,

in secrets.

And it's all true.

Well...

The secrets part, anyway.

So, don't say I didn't warn you.

When people talk about my work,

I hear words like "revolution."

Well, today,

this one drops the "R."

- [AUDIENCE CHEERING]
- In this box,

I hold the next step
on the great timeline.

But before I show you what's inside,

I want to tell you my story.

The real story,

of how I built it,

and myself, along the way.

Would you like to hear it?

[AUDIENCE CHEERING]

Okay.

Okay.

It's simple,

because of all the
things I left behind.

[DRAMATIC MUSIC PLAYING]

My home.

My family.

I had to rebuild everything I lost.

[MUSIC INTENSIFYING]

I had to learn how to become...

A human being.

- You used to produce, more.
- [ENTRY BELL JINGLES]

Your work now,

what purpose does it serve?

It serves my purpose.

You are not utilizing your purpose.

Stay.

I mean it.

You chose the correct task

but, you did not have the tools.

Go outside.

Go away, now.

- The f*ck you say to me?
- I require her focus,

and my window of
interception is shrinking.

You are vital, to the mission.

- Please stop talking.
- You are vital.

[ENGINE REVS]

[ENGINE REVS]

[WHISPERING] sh*t. sh*t!

[BREATH TREMBLING]

sh*t. f*ck.

[SIREN WAILING]

Oh, sh*t.

[GASPS]

[SIGHING IN RELIEF]

You know what?

I don't want this anymore.

We have to get to . ...

There is no "we."

My mission...

Is your mission.

What happened to you?

I mean, you're brilliant.

How'd you get here?

With a stranger, in a strange place.

- How?
- The adept miscalculated.

Miscalculated what?
Be specific.

Energy.

Energy for what?

The energy we needed...

To save ourselves.

Did anyone, uh...

Did anyone die?

Yes.

Do you have anyone?

I mean, besides the Newton guy?

A family, who takes care of you?

Children?

Yes.

How many children?

Two.

They are waiting for me,

to return.

If they survived.

Survived what?

When the clouds disappear,

you all disappear.

You have very little time left.

- FARADAY: There!
- What? Here?

Stop there.

FARADAY: We have arrived.

JUSTIN: This doesn't feel right.

It is right.

You are afraid,

- I can...
- Smell it, I know.

I am afraid.

But, not for me.

Look, there are bad people out here.

You know, like,
the guys who jumped you?

Will you let me take you to a hotel,
or a bus station?

It gets cold here at night.

FARADAY: I will not
be here for the cold.

Please.

Will you let me take you
someplace safe?

I am where I am supposed to be.

You...

Are where you are supposed to be.

For what?

To ensure the survival,

of my species.

Which species?

I am from Anthea.

A terrestrial planet

beyond your solar system.

I am here,

to receive the next
step, of my instructions.

You are meant to come with me.

[CHUCKLES]

[CHUCKLES] Look,

I brought you here,

and that's as much as I'm gonna do.

I'm not, I'm not going
anywhere with you, okay?

All right? That's it.

- We're done here.
- FARADAY: No more waiting!

Don't follow me, okay?

You're f*cking crazy.

What are you... Stop!

- Come with me!
- Stop!

[METAL CREAKING, CRUNCHING]

Come with me!

Stop!

[ENGINE STARTS]

Open your eyes.

[INSECTS CHITTER]

[ECHOING WHISPER] It's me.

Me.

It's me.

It's about f*cking time.

[CONTINUES ECHOING]

I know exactly what you're thinking.

"This is not the Anthean I remember."

Well...

Soon enough, you won't be

the Anthean you remember, either.

But, I'm gonna make you...

The god,

they can't ignore.

[LAUGHING]

[CONTINUES LAUGHING]

FARADAY: How did we get here?

To this place.

In this box,

I hold the next step
on the great timeline.

I am a tyrant.

I am the king!
Tech god.

Willy Wonka.

Up to my Gobstoppers, in secrets.

And it's all true.

Well...

The secrets part, anyway.

So, don't say I didn't warn you.
