Original subtitles

You there, Ladies, just.

How about another top up?

It's.

It's. This isn't a robbery.

I am from the future and all of this goes horribly wrong.

Horribly wrong.

Are you engaged? Am I not engaging enough? What's the point? I traveled here

today to tell you that things do not go well for you in the future.

In fact, I'd say you are embarking upon the darkest possible timeline.

This is all a giant mistake.

Someone call the cops.

Social media has run, robbed you of your dignity and turned you all into

children.

Your fascist selfie culture has eroded your capacity for critical thinking.

Stop it.

No one leaves.

Listen to my words.

This is important.

Oh, okay, here we go.

Fine, fine.

I got a bomb.

Yeah, these are all bombs.

We're covered in bombs.

Come any closer, try to escape them.

I'll blow us all up.

Are we adequately scared now? Good, Great.

Sit down.

Get comfortable.

Hey, sir, that.

That means you now.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Come on, we gotta hear hero.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Sit the fuck down.

Like I said, I'm from the future.

A future which is totally and completely fucked.

And guess what? It's all your fault.

Not specifically you 40 or so people, but everyone from your time.

You're all equally complicit and I'm here to set it right.

It all started with morning phone time.

At first, people would wake up, check their emails in bed, look at Facebook,

scroll Twitter, xyz, whatever.

Just a few minutes, no big deal.

But morning phone time just got long and longer.

Eventually, people stopped getting out of bed entirely.

Society fell apart.

People had to be hooked up to feeding tubes and catheters.

The medical supply industry boomed, but everything else was fucked.

No one even noticed that the fucking world had ended.

Are any of you even listening to me? Let me ask you something.

Where did all the bookstores go, huh? Yeah.

What did you do when the record stor started disappearing? Nothing.

He did nothing.

Pop quits.

Anybody know a phone number? I bet not one of you knows a single phone

number by hard anymore.

Progress. There's only progress if it makes things better.

Otherwise, it's a mistake, man.

And he's made wrong turns before.

Hitler, the Segway.

Someone just has to be there to turn us around, put us back on course to say

no. Children, this is all right.

This is not the way.

That's why I'm here.

I'm looking for recruits, soldiers, people who have nothing to lose and

everything to fight for.

There is an artificial intelligence coming in the not so distant future that

shuts this whole human civilization down.

But it can be stopped.

Humanity can be saved.

And this is where the revolution begins.

This isn't a joke.

This is where it starts.

Yeah. They're the fucking norms in Los Angeles.

Somewhere in the Steiners, the correct combination of people who are gonna

join me in this revolution and save humanity.

I'm going to find that right group, and we are gonna succeed.

This is my 117th time in this diner doing this exact speech.

Can you imagine that? 117 times I've tried to get through to all of you.

Kind of like your favorite movie, Jim.

Groundhog's Day.

That's your favorite movie, isn't it, Jim? Yeah.

How did you.

I have experienced this night over and over again.

Each time with a different combination of people in the same diner.

And every time we have failed, I have held some of you in my arms and

watched the very life flicker from your eyes.

Some of you I even consider family.

I've done this so many times.

I know some of you better than you know yourselves.

Hey, Nancy Delaney and Charles Roberts here on your first date.

Charles thought Norms was the right call.

Nancy's been planning our exit for 20 minutes.

Neither one of you.

Whoever joined my revolution and made it out of the Steiner alive.

Excuse me.

You. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

You are the least useful person I've ever met.

29 times you've raised your hand to join my revolution.

29 times you've been a fucking albatross around my neck.

You got a bad knee, Gerald.

Figure it out.

You die 16 minutes into the journey.

Every time.

You're also mind numbingly dull.

Raise your hand.

Tonight. I fucking dare you.

There she is.

My queen.

Yes. Don't be coy.

You are my greatest soldier.

My warrior in this revolution.

We push it all the way to the limit.

You show me things about myself I never wanted to see.

The things I needed to know.

Sexual tension between us is like a summer storm.

But we never act on it.

Never. We channel it into our bloodlust.

But in the end, you betray me.

Every goddamn time.

You break my heart.

But here I am, looking at those big brown eyes.

Ears. And I'm thinking, fuck it.

Let's roll those dice one more time, baby.

Let's burn it all down.

If you come with me, there is a chance you will die tonight.

If you don't, well, that's game over for each and every person in this room.

I promise you that.

But tonight.

Tonight, we got a shot.

We can save the world.

Start over.

Do something.

Something Real Dolores.

Do not call the police again.

Put that phone away.

There's a correct configuration of people in this diner that perfectly

combats the future and saves humanity.

I am not wrong about this.

I will try every single combination until I get it right.

So I need to know right now, who's joining me? Who's ready to save the

future?

Great. Great.

Come on.

You're Spartacus.

Let's go.

Let's go, big boy.

Up and at him.

There they are.

Hey. Five Beta cap.

What do you say? Come on, fellas.

Beer's on me.

Let's make some bad decisions.

Toga. Toga.

Toga.

Hey, remember,

huh? Okay, baby, it looks like it's just you and me.

Wouldn't be the first time.

Am I right? What do you say? Make it the last, huh? Come on, Cat.

Hey. Really? Zero hands? You kidding me?

That's the first fucking time that's ever happened.

Hey. Fuck me.

Why don't you just go before you get yourself hurt, huh? You're not.

Well, fuck you, Pete.

I'm not crazy.

Why is everyone from your timeline so fucking dumb? You look homeless, bro.

Who said that? Fuck you too.

I'm not homeless.

I come from a nightmare apocalypse.

This is the height of fucking fashion where I come from.

You see what our homeless look like? They look dead.

Ah, fantastic.

Become the police.

Thank you so much, Dolores.

This is a total bust.

Whatever. All right, I'm getting out of here.

I have a bad feeling about this.

Run from the jump.

What are you looking at? I got a carb up for the trip.

I'd like to see you survive the calorie burn of a temporal rift.

I'll join you.

Well, I'll be damned.

Yeah. Ma', am, please, just join us.

Right over there.

Anyone else? No.

I mean, this night wasn't a bust after all.

Well, that's bad news for the rest of you, cuz now we're going to do it the

hard way.

Let's go, you phony.

Soprano. Let's go.

Bird. Oh, okay, okay.

Stay there with her.

47 people in this diner, which means there are millions of possible

combinations. But I will find the right people eventually.

Not you.

Not you.

Definitely not you.

You too.

Let's go.

Sunny is here.

Let's go.

All right, all right, all right.

Go stand with the others.

Everyone tries any shit, I'm gonna detonate this bomb.

No, take me.

Just don't hurt these people.

All right, big boy, you're coming too.

Hurry it up.

Shit. We're running out of time.

Not you.

Not you.

Definitely not you.

Put your hand down.

Gerald, please.

Come on.

I'll go with you.

No. Absolutely not.

Why? I don't know.

You creep me out.

You got a real offer? Meds? Five.

I don't need that shit.

Let's see.

It's five.

Yeah. I don't know.

One more.

You wind beneath my wings.

Let's go.

You? Why not? Let's go.

Sure. Come on.

That's six.

That could be enough.

It's hard to say.

You know what? Fuck it.

You coming too? I'm in a weird mood tonight.

Let's go, princess.

I guess that means the rest of you get the night off.

Kindly stay in your seats till we get out of here.

And no hero.

This is a weird fucking group, isn't it? Definitely.

Never tried this combination before.

How exactly we're gonna get out of here? Usually we don't.

A deranged man with a bomb holding an entire restaurant hostage makes for a

tense standoff with the boys in.

Boo. Hey, get it taller.

Taller. Taller.

Hey, it's gonna be okay.

Or it's not.

I don't know if this isn't the right poop.

Well, I'll be honest.

You're in for a rough night.

But if this is the right group, then that means each and every one of you is

bringing something to the table that's gonna help save this world.

Rest assured, your entire lives have been building to this night.

Either way, I say fuck it.

Let's roll those dice.

The revolution begins tonight.

Good luck.

Have fun.

Don't die.

I'm nervous.

I feel like I need more saliva in my mouth.

I'm too old for this.

No, you're not.

You're very appropriately aged.

Oh, they're not gonna like me.

It's probably true.

But that's okay.

You're not here to be liked.

I don't think this is a good idea.

Mark, can please not do this again now? Well, I.

I just don't see this, like, being a.

A good fit for me.

So quit.

Do whatever you want.

God knows you always do.

What's his name? Who? The guy that left on.

Whatever. The sabbatical.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Tim. They called him Mr.

Kenshaw. Yeah.

Yeah. When's he coming back? I don't know.

Okay, I have to go.

I'll see you at lunch.

You're gonna be fine.

I promise.

I don't like people I know at the.

They're barely people.

I'm your substitute teacher.

You can call me Mark.

I'm not sure if that's against the rules, but speaking of rules, are you

allowed to have your phones out in class like this?

This is Anna Karenina by Count Leo Tolstoy.

Can anyone tell me who Tolstoy is? A boomer.

Incorrect. He's a Russian writer from the 19th century.

And we will be reading this book.

Is it ya? No.

No. Is it a.

I don't think that's a thing.

Did they make a movie of it? I don't know.

That's irrelevant.

I found it.

It's like a million years old, though.

It has Keira Knightley in it.

Can you put away your phones, please? I'm listening to the audiobook.

Fucking sucks.

Oh, no, the audiobook doesn't count.

You have to read the actual book.

Yes. I need a Pepsi.

A what? I need a Pepsi.

I haven't had a Pepsi yet today and I need a Pepsi.

Can I go get a Pepsi? Why do you keep saying Pepsi so much?

What'd they give you, 11th grade English on your first day? Yeah, it's

brutal. I caught a student passing a note this morning.

You know what it said? What? Have you tried Southern Heat? Barbecue Doritos?

They're delicious.

That's an advertisement, right? They're literally advertising to each other.

They passed a handwritten note? No, it was an app.

I think it was notepasser.

Yeah, they love that one.

Did you guys hear about Craig? He's on sabbatical.

Stress related.

Really? Lucky bastard.

What exactly are the rules about students using phones in class? Oh, that's

a ridiculous question.

Rules? Are there rules in Warmark? You know, it just seems like they

shouldn't be allowed to have their phones out.

I don't like it either, man.

I've been working on something in my off hours.

What is that? Jesus Christ.

Please don't encourage him, Mark.

Call it a jammer.

Locks up their phones, Ricks them.

Really freaks the little fuckers out.

Yeah. Looks like a toy from Mars Attacks.

Yeah, he loves that movie.

Classic. Can he just put that away? Dale, please.

You're gonna get us in trouble.

What is that? Tim? Not again.

School shooting.

Really? Come on, Lark.

You're a sad old lady.

I'm not that old.

You're like a hundred years old.

You're like a witch.

I'm only 35.

That's like, older than most trees.

You're like my mom's age.

You're like a dead person.

Hey, leave our loan.

Mark. Mark, stop.

What did you say? Grandpa dinosaur? Honey, he didn't mean it.

He didn't mean it.

I, I, I, I said just, you know, just ease up on her.

That's all

all clear.

Everyone in class.

Where's Dale? Oh, he went on sabbatical.

Lucky son of a bitch.

Why is everyone on sabbatical? Like, what does that even mean? Mark, Some

people just need to go on sabbatical.

It's a hard job.

Well, how do you even know Dale was on sabbatical? The vice principal told

me. Where's the principal in sabbatical? I'm almost positive high school

teachers don't go on sabbatical.

These are trouble.

I'm sorry.

I did something bad.

I, I, I think I'm in trouble.

What did you do? I, I, I touched one of their phones.

You did what? Yeah, the, the images were hypnotic.

They were drawing me in and they just random flashing images.

And on each one of their phones, the exact same images.

I think there's something sinister going on.

I, I, I, I think that the teachers are disappearing and I think the students

have something to do with it.

Also, high school teachers don't, don't call us.

Sabbatical. I, I, I, I checked it out.

Mark. Do you know how parano right now? I'm sorry, but can you just do the

right thing for me, for us, just once? Mark, I swear, if I lose this job

because you touched a kid's phone.

Jenna. Janet.

Janet. I know things aren't great between us right now, and I know I fucked

up my last six jobs, but I'm not being paranoid.

Cannot believe this is happening.

Anthony, I need us to be a team right now.

Please. Please.

Why did you touch the phone? I don't know.

Oh my God.

What do we do now? I don't know.

Find something to protect yourself with.

Okay.

This must be Del's classroom.

Do these things even work? Here, take one.

Okay,

Stay back.

Stay back.

How's this.

It?

Just let us go, please.

Not an option.

There are three exits at this Norm's Diner.

Front door, back door, inside, emergency.

Maybe we can negotiate with them.

Maybe they'll believe your story.

You know, about the revolution.

Yeah, maybe pigs will fly it on my ass.

Don't patronize me, Bob.

I know you don't believe me, but if you make it out of here at some point

tonight, you will.

And if any of you are thinking about making a run for the cops.

Yeah, right here.

Just one push.

One push.

If you, if you're from the future, why didn't you stop the waitress from

calling the cops? Maybe I did, Scott.

Maybe someone else called the police.

Someone not in this diner.

Someone who told them I'm strapped to the bomb and had multiple Accomplices.

Well, if you've done this so many times, then why don't you just tell us

which way to go? Because there's no correct answer here, Janet.

I'm telling you what I know.

There are three bad options.

The front, obviously the worst.

We got it.

We got it.

Come on.

The back.

I'll be honest, it showed some promise at first.

Okay. Okay.

Come on.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Stay low, stay low.

Stay low.

Be quiet.

There.

Last is the emergency side exit.

Now that's a real show.

I really, really rather not try that again.

Why realistic to this nut job? He's never been here before.

What are we talking about? Look, just tell us, based on your experience,

what is our best chance of getting out of here alive? I really don't like to

say it out loud.

It's kind of a morale killing.

Oh, come on.

All right, fine.

We split into two groups.

One group goes out the back door and the other sacrifices their life so the

other can make it okay.

Come on.

No. Yeah, it's a bummer.

Yeah, I know.

It's a real fucking bummer.

What is that even counting down? Yeah, you haven't even told us our goal.

Something about AI.

Yeah, we don't really get into that until we get out of the diner.

Okay, well, we're not getting out.

The front.

Dollar can be.

I guess we followed a princess.

How many are there? A lot.

Well, who's going? Not me.

Fuck that.

Real brave, Scott.

I'll go.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

No, no, no.

Let me go.

No, no, no, no.

I applaud your gumption there, princess.

But I know that look in your eyes.

Where I come from, those eyes are more common than brown.

I'm trying to save the world here.

I facilitated suicide.

Okay, does anyone have any weapons? None that are useful in this situation.

What the fuck does that mean? What, you packing? No.

Bob here's got a gun.

Yeah, he's planning to shoot me with it and be the big hero.

Wilson, I'm.

It's okay, Bob.

We've been through this before.

In fact, I pick you a lot.

You're kind of my lucky charm.

Guess what, Bob? You are going to be the big hero tonight.

What are you talking about? I want you to buy us our window.

You've done it before.

You've survived before.

Do it for those boys back at your booth.

This Boy scouts, right? Troop 47.

I'm the assistant Scout leader.

Not gonna be assistant tomorrow.

Do it for 47.

This is why you're here, Bob.

It all begins with you.

Those boys out there, they're never gonna forget the day Bob saved the

fucking world.

Save the world.

Get out there.

Bob saves the fucking world.

Semper fi.

You got this.

Let's go.

Semper fi.

Okay, let's go.

Bob's dead.

Everyone follow me.

What do you mean he's dead? Come on, quickly.

Never tried that before.

I thought it was worth a shot.

Oh, well, I'm sorry.

Was someone else coming up with a plan? It's dark time.

Ah, God damn it.

They've reached the front.

Well, then let's try the other side.

No point, no point.

Everyone relax.

Look, this group is a bus dying out of fucking norms.

Sometimes if you lie down, they don't shoot so much.

You better find a way to get.

Hey, Clicky, Clicky.

Wait. There's another way.

Oh, look who decided to get involved.

In the office, there's a hidden door and it leads to the cellar.

In the cellar, there's a crawl space and it takes us to an exit down the

block. There's no cellar.

I've been here 117 times.

I never be in the cellar.

Hey, where you going, Guy? Guy with the bomb.

Guy in charge here.

Okay, okay.

Show me this magic secret door that somehow I've missed 100.

Well, what the hell did I just kill Bob for? Maybe speak up a little faster

next time, Susan.

All right, before we leave, I need everyone's cell phones.

Come on.

What? Why? Just do it or I'm gonna murder.

Suicide. Saw the restaurant office.

Let's go.

Come on, come on, come on.

All right, all right, all right.

Hey, hey.

I. I don't have one.

Yeah, of course you don't.

Weirdo. So unnecessary.

Down the ladder.

Come on.

Guy with the button, huh? Let's go.

Hey, hey.

Tell me how you.

Seriously, how did you know about that? Indoor.

Who cares? Let's.

You said there was a way out of here.

Yeah, over there.

Who the are you? Tell me right now.

You knew there was a door up there.

You copy something? No.

No. Who sent you, huh? I just wanted to help.

Yeah, you just wanted to help.

Yes. She saved our life, man.

You just knew there was a basement in Norms.

Hey, hey, look at me.

Maybe it's just like you said.

We are the right group, huh?

Are we gonna get out of here or.

Dude,

Something's different tonight.

Sa.

Ha.

Looks like you're next.

Come on.

My little Robbie.

Poor little Robbie.

What's worse as mine was shot by his best friend.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I have to go halfway across town and rush hour traffic.

Did you lose your child in the school shooting today? Ours died too, after

we signed the paperwork.

You can come with us.

It's your first time, right? Was he great? Their kid? Was he a great kid?

Yes. It's a shame.

It's a shame when a great night gets shot by the beers.

You'll come with us, right? After where? She's in shock.

Give her the card.

Go tomorrow.

Tonight. Just go home.

Why? Deal with the traffic.

Why deal with it? Tomorrow's as good as today.

Maybe you run a bath.

Go first thing in the morning.

All right, who's next? You go, honey.

Hi, Wendy.

Hey, Brenda.

It's just a little paperwork and then you can go to the store.

She's gonna go tomorrow.

Good idea, what with all the traffic.

That's exactly what we were saying.

It's Sam.

It.

Hi there.

Welcome. We're so sorry for your loss.

My name is Blaze.

How can I help? I.

I don't know what I'm doing here.

Oh. First time? First time.

Okay. Well, yeah, that is not a problem.

We can get you set right up.

Okay. Which school did the shooting take place at? Glen.

Glenhurst. Glenhurst.

Darren's in the ninth grade.

He was ninth grade.

Great. Great.

Got it.

So are you looking to clone Darren today? What? We can recreate your son in

a clone body.

Fully organic human flesh taken directly from your son's source DNA.

I don't.

What do you mean? Are you saying you can give me my son back? Yes.

Yeah, I mean, the process isn't perfect.

I mean, physically.

Physically, it is spot on.

You know, we have that down.

But when it comes to the personality, well, you know, we do our best.

The brain is a tricky thing.

This is real.

Why have I never heard of it before? Oh, it's a classified program.

You know, we keep it pretty hush hush.

Also, it's wildly expensive, so how.

How much is it? A lot.

But because your son was killed in a public school shooting, the government

will actually take the hit for most of it.

It will? Mm.

You know, we could subsidize the price even further if you get the version

with ads.

Ads? Once a day your son will do an ad.

I know.

It's not weird or anything.

He does it as himself in his own voice.

And they'll be tailored towards products you find interesting.

Anyway. Is he a robot? No.

No. Nowhere near being able to do that.

He's just a clone.

Yeah. Pure organic human flesh.

I'm sorry, I'm just a little overwhelmed.

Yeah. So you're saying you can give me my son back? Pretty much, yeah.

So let's start out with personality traits.

Right? Now, try to be as specific as possible.

But I'd only pick one, two at most.

Any of these jump out at you? I mean, was he neat? Dumb? Sleepy? Weird?

Completely unhinged? What? No.

One of the options is completely unhinged.

Yeah, but those are usually for the shooters, not the ones who get shot.

You clone the shooters too? Oh, yeah.

Yeah, big time.

Government pays for that.

But, you know, we can make sure they never shoot again.

Well, I mean, 70% chance they never shoot again.

So, what are you thinking? Oh, weird, I guess.

No, I don't.

Yeah. Yes, weird.

He was weird, but a good weird.

You know, he was eccentric.

Yeah, sure, sure, sure.

All right, hobbies.

So which hobbies did Robbie have? Darren.

Oh, God.

Sorry. Yes, Darren.

Sorry. So which hobbies? He wasn't into any of

special. And he was sweet and odd and so kind.

Okay, you know, I'm just gonna put down sports flaws.

Hit me with some of Darren's flaws.

Now, just so you know, we don't have to pick any flaws.

They're just there for authenticity.

You know, we could skip them entirely.

I would have liked some more hugs, I guess.

Cake? No, I don't.

I. He was perfect.

I just want him back.

Not a big hugger.

Got it.

So no more flaws then? Clumsy.

Yeah, he was clumsy.

Clumsy. Okay.

Hmm. Are you sure you wanna stick with that one? Yes.

Why? Clumsy could be why he got shot, right? I liked that he was clumsy.

Okay, clumsy.

It's your funeral.

Moving along to favorite snacks, here's some information for a local support

group you might find useful.

Now, you can just have a seat.

Shouldn't be too long.

Okay.

What's up, mom? Are you okay?

Were they nice to you there? They were chill.

I had pizza.

That's good.

Pizza's my favorite.

I know.

It's so good to.

Good to see you.

You got anything to drink? I'm thirsty.

I can stop somewhere.

We can go anywhere you want.

I want appleberry peach tea.

Is that.

I don't know that drink.

It's only got 70 calories and it's delicious.

Made from real fruit flavoring.

Comes in other flavors, like mango tea.

Honey. And classic plain apple.

Barry. Okay, we can get that for sure.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service.

Honey, what are you doing?

So I had a thought that maybe it would be a good idea if you talk to some of

your friends about anything that you're going through or if you wanted to

talk to me? I would love nothing more than to.

Where are you going, honey? How to play sports.

Home.

Switch.

So glad you could make it.

There she.

There he is.

How was the traffic coming over here? Not bad, I hope.

No, it was fine.

This is Darren.

Of course it is Darren.

The other kids.

Let me take your coat.

Okay. There's pizza in the kitchen.

I love pizza.

Thank you.

Of course you do.

I told you it would all work out.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm just not sure we've all been there now, Minkle.

Talk to parents.

Have a copter.

Okay. And he was still mowing the lawn at midnight.

I just don't think he feels like my son anymore.

Almost like having a stranger living at my house.

We don't mind so much.

Ours was completely unhinged before.

Don't worry, he wasn't the shooter.

Oh, there's a different group for that.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service.

It's just a hat.

I wasn't even in the military.

Oh, they love to say that, though.

They do.

They love to say it.

Is this your first meeting? Yeah, it's my first time.

My first meeting.

This is our fourth time going through it.

You're kidding.

You've lost four kids in school shootings? Oh, no, no, no.

Same kid.

Yeah. Four different shootings.

Yeah, we.

We lost Claire two years ago in a school shooting.

And then we cloned her.

And then we lost the clone in a school shooting.

And then again.

And then again one more time.

That. That's the worst thing I've ever heard.

Well, we decided to have a little fun with it this time around.

Yeah. Yeah.

Not get so hung up on making our Claire, you know, we just made a really

silly, funny kid to make us laugh.

Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, she's so entertaining.

We just went nuts.

She makes us laugh and laugh, you know, and Isn't that the point? You know,

when you boil it all down, Just have fun with it.

That's what we say.

They're just gonna shoot each other anyway.

Yeah. Oh, you know, the guy at the store, he was like, what religion is she?

And we were like, well, I don't know.

Muslim. I mean, like, why not, right? You gotta have fun.

She's also a little bit racist.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, she is.

Yeah, it's hilarious.

Oh, you know what? We also.

We made her way too tall.

Oh, yes.

Like, crazy tall.

Like, what the fuck? I swear to God, I laugh every time she walks into the

room. You know, she's like, mommy, Are we Muslim? I'm like, no, honey, only

you. Now go outside and play your big galoot.

We have fun.

We do.

Hey. Hi.

I. I couldn't help but overhear what you were saying earlier.

I had the same problem with my Brandon.

It just wasn't my Brandon.

And then I found this.

What is it? You have to buy a device.

It's like a hard drive with an earpiece.

It's not expensive.

You fill out an online form and a few minutes later you get a call on the

earpiece and it will be her child.

They get the personality a lot closer than these clones do.

I don't understand.

What is it? For now, it's just a voice.

There's no body yet, but five years from now, who knows what they'll be able

to do? See you, Tom.

Later. Here, take mine.

I got a bunch of them at home.

I can see your suffering.

This is the real deal.

I hope you find peace.

Hello? Mom? Darren, how are you? Mom? Darren, is that you? Yes, Mom.

You sound tired.

I am tired, baby.

I am.

It's been a tough few days.

I miss you.

I miss you too.

So much.

I'm thirsty.

Can you get some more appleberry peach tea? It's only got 70 calories per

serving and it's delicious.

Mom? Yes, baby? I need you to do something for me.

Of course.

Anything. I need you to take me with you.

Take you with me where? I'll guide you the whole way.

It'll. It'll be like an adventure.

Mom, where am I going? You have to go with him.

With who? The man.

The man in the restaurant.

Well, that was dark.

Can't wait to see the future.

Oh, we made it.

Oh, my God.

How's your celebration? Norms was the easy part.

From here it gets uncomfortable.

Jesus Christ.

The is that.

It's a map.

I drew it.

You. Let's see your map.

The new route out of Norms put us here.

Yeah, behind the police perimeter.

These buildings are dead ends.

Okay, I'm sorry, wait.

What is the plan here? Like, where are you taking us? Can you just tell us

now? Yeah, okay, fine.

Here we go.

Not half a mile from here, this is a nine year old boy building God in his

bedroom. Our mission is to make sure that the God he builds is a God that

likes people.

And by God you mean.

Post Singularity Self Perpetuating Information Processing Artificial

Intelligence. Intelligence.

AI. The Big Bopper.

AI. What? Isn't that the thing already? It gets a lot worse, honey.

That's right, Mark.

And if we don't get to this kid in the next hour.

That's a wrap on people.

Nonsense. What was that, Scott? Speak up,

Kids. House is six blocks away here.

Clearly, we can't just walt stay on the street, so we're going to need to

cut through a few buildings and backyards.

There are two vicious Dobermans in this auto shop here.

A homeless guy with a knife is asleep on this roof here.

Do not wake him.

There's a storage yard with a barbed wire fence.

I think that's our best bet.

If we can hop the fence without alerting the guard.

Just highly unlikely with you chuckleheads.

We'll be in spitting distance of a solid route through the backyards.

Okay, and what happens if we alert the guard? Nothing.

Good. Scott.

Let's find.

Move out.

Wait, wait, wait, wait.

What exactly are we supposed to do when we get to this boy's house? This kid

invents super intelligence in 60 minutes.

Unfortunately, the safety measures to keep AI in check aren't invented for

another 50 years.

But I come from the future.

But the smartest people of my time work long and hard to create the

necessary safety protocols which should have been in place before AI was

ever created.

They sent me here to install this software into the AI at the moment, just

before it gains consciousness.

What kind of safety measures? Do I look like a software engineer? I'm just a

soldier on a mission.

Put this thing into another thing before this thing gets to zero.

Run.

God.

Oh. Those were not cops.

You think? Who was that? Bad guys.

What do you mean bad guys? Bad guys.

Guys you don't want to meet.

Who sent them? No idea.

Never found out.

Best not thinking about it too much.

Never been down here before.

Scope it out.

Find this new route.

Stay here and keep quiet.

Good one.

You guys don't actually believe this, do you? Let's get the hell out of

here. Are you okay? I was already having a shitty day.

I just wanted to sign.

Slice of pie and a few moments quiet.

I just.

I just wanted pie.

Do you guys really think he has a bomb? I don't think that's a bomb.

Look, when he comes back, I say we jump overtake him, okay? He's not from

the future.

He doesn't know shit.

He's gonna get us killed.

No, no, he.

He knew a few things.

Things he couldn't have known.

Crazy people get lucky, too.

Okay? He didn't know about the seller or the car that just tried to kill us.

Yeah, but he knew that Bob had a gun.

Anyone could tell that Bob had a gun.

Also, he let Bob die.

Okay, You Guys really believe him? No, I guess I don't.

What about you? In the diner? He wasn't acting like a man ready to blow

himself up.

He was hiding behind us like he was scared of getting shot.

Exactly. So what are we talking about? You guys want to end up like Bob?

This guy's fucking psychotic.

Yeah, I don't really care either way.

I just kind of want to see where this is gonna go.

Nobody asked you.

You're fucking.

Who has a cell phone? No.

And he took our phones.

Who has a fucking cell phone? Me.

I do.

Calm down, psycho.

Why do you have two cell phones? Couldn't decide between models.

This one has a better camera.

Nobody cares.

Nobody cares.

Just let me see it.

Just for a second.

Please. It's an emergency.

Here. What the hell?

I'm allergic to cell phones and WI fi, you fucking weirdo.

We could have used that for call for help.

You're allergic to cell phones and WI fi? God, it's like being allergic to

the air.

That must be hell.

Yeah, it's not.

Amazing. Okay, fuck it.

When he comes back, I'm taking him down.

Someone's gotta do something.

I thought I told you to keep your voices down.

Now, I could do a few parlor tricks, prove to you I'm from the future.

But none of that would mean a damn.

What means a damn is you people choosing to come along for this ride.

Because somewhere inside of you, you know the way things are, the way the

world is today, the way people are with each other, the way we're heading,

you know the world's going to shit.

And someone's gotta step in and do something about it.

Whether or not you believe I'm the Ghost of Christmas, fucking future ain't

gonna keep us alive tonight.

We'll survive tonight.

Because you decide to wake up and see the writing on the wall.

And you don't very much fucking like what you see.

And you're ready to do something about it.

Either way, we made it out of norms.

So I won't force any of you to keep going if you don't want to.

You're free to go.

But I'm running out of time.

47 cents, Scott.

Left side pocket.

Why are you still holding that? Is that thing even a bomb? No, it's not a

bomb. It's my way home.

I hit this button and go back, try again.

That's why I keep my thumb right here.

Things go south, I zap out of here.

Start over.

You people are on your own.

Rule number one is I am not expendable.

Not Until I finish the mission.

Not until I see this through.

Wait, so.

So we're expendable? Yeah.

Cut across these roofs and we're going to climb down into a backyard.

Okay, but why this whole allergic plan? If you know who invented AI, why

don't you just go back in time and kill him? Why don't we just kill a nine

year old boy? First of all, Mark, that's pretty dark.

Second, artificial superintelligence is an inevitability in all timelines.

Knowing where this kid is is a gift we should not have been given.

The AI train has already left the station.

We're just trying to install some last minute breaks.

That's just Jerry.

Who's Jerry? The homeless guy on the roof.

You mean the guy with the knife? I don't know.

What do you think, Martin? Grandpa took my daughter.

Keep your voice down.

Okay, okay, okay.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Okay. Hey, hey, Jerry.

Remember me? Grandpa took my daughter.

Okay? She.

We go out for my daughter.

My daughter.

Jesus, Jerry.

Look. It's invisible people.

Thanks, jerry.

I just wanted pie.

Run.

Everyone into the dumpster.

What? Jump.

Now. Go.

Jump. Let's go.

Let's go, let's go.

Oh, rats.

Why is it always rats?

Pigs in the blanket.

Get under the garbage.

What are you doing?

We're okay.

No. No.

Hey. Hey.

You move.

Almost cost the submission.

Fuck is wrong with you? You got a death wish or something? When I tell you

to move, you move.

You got me? Why didn't you protect Marie? I don't know.

Why didn't you get shit to the do,

boy? Your guess is as good as mine.

These two have put an end to some of my most promising groups.

Never managed to get past one of them.

We just got past both, Carl.

That's good, right? Once we got a shot, yeah, this group has a chance.

Not everyone's going to make it to the end.

So, Guy, I'm going to make it to the end.

Just a few backyards to go.

Stay together.

Keep quiet.

Come on, let's go.

You still with us, princess? Why do you care if I die? I don't know.

Maybe I got a soft spot for warriors.

Get your head in the game.

Stop fucking around.

Something's definitely rotten in Denmark tonight.

I'm sure I like it.

What the fuck is wrong with her?

Nothing's wrong with her.

So what, she's making it up? I'm not saying that.

But according to our understanding of the brain, what you're describing,

it's not physiologically possible.

According to your understanding, she'd be the first person in human

existence to what? Be allergic to technology or something? Is that anyone?

Yeah, it's the Excel.

James. What kind of life will she have? She can barely go anywhere or be

around anyone.

How will she make friends? How will she ever find happiness or joy or love?

Shit,

I don't know.

I pay you to know.

Just go and do your fucking job.

Hey. You were, like, 30 minutes late.

I know, sorry.

The bus was late.

And it's.

Who are you? Ingrid.

My name's Ingrid.

No, what princess are you? Jasmine? Ariel? Elsa? Uh, yeah, I'm not any of

those. I'm sort of just a generic princess.

You're not even from the movie.

Yeah, no, but in a way, I'm also from, like, every movie.

You are going to go out there and you were gonna tell them that you are

Elsa's cousin.

God, you're bleeding.

Oh, I'm just gonna get you in.

Sorry. God.

Are you gonna be okay? Yeah, yeah.

Shit. I got it.

It's just.

It's an analogy.

Sort of why I work with kids.

Thank you.

Just get the cake out there.

Okay. Happy birthday, dear dear Alice Happy birthday to you Make a wish.

Oh, yay.

Right? Un.

Believable.

Where the hell have you been? Sorry.

This place is hard to find.

Nothing is hard to find.

Use your.

Is that a Thomas guy? I don't believe in phones, sir.

Great. Oh, I don't believe in tips.

Asshole.

Sam.

Hey. Watch the sunrise with me, all right? Watch the sunrise with me.

Crazy. What time is it? Promised it'll be worth it.

Sam.

You ever think about having a baby? See you.

Come on.

Who are? No one in the league.

You running around, no friends, can barely leave the house.

Bleeds all over everyone.

Shut up.

Are you serious? You want a kid? Yeah.

Someday.

I'm late.

What is it? I don't know.

Did you order something? No.

Then it must be for someone else.

Well, it's got my name on it.

You're gonna return it, right? I mean, if it hurts you at all, I'll throw it

out. I promise.

Okay. I just thought.

I just thought we agreed to living without these kinds of things.

Yeah, I know.

I know.

But, I mean, you're going to work, right? I just want to try it.

I'll only use it in this room.

It won't even be here.

It's fine.

Okay.

Okay. I'm gonna finish getting ready for work.

Okay.

Happy birthday.

Here, where we.

Happy birthday to you.

You ready to make a wish?

Hey, I'm home.

Kim.

Temp.

Tim. Hi.

Hi, honey.

What are you doing? It's the middle of the night.

Yeah. I'm starving.

Yeah, I can see that.

Hey, are you okay? I cannot describe to you how good I feel right now.

I feel electric.

I don't like this, Tim.

I don't like this.

It's not like you to lose yourself in a thing like that.

And it's creeping me out.

I know, I know.

I'm sorry.

I'm just really excited about it right now, I guess.

Why? I mean, what.

What even is it? It's just like a video game, right? Sort of, yeah.

Yeah, but I mean, no more than this is a video game.

In fact, it's.

It's less of a video game than all this.

What? Reality.

See, it's got me thinking about things like why is there pain and

unhappiness? Why is there suffering? Is it just so we can overcome obstacles

and have, I don't know, transformative experiences that allow us to grow and

better ourselves? Why can't we already be our best selves? I don't even know

how to respond to you right now.

You sound high.

Look, what if someone made a better reality than this one? What if.

What if someone made one that was better in every single way than ours?

Reality is.

It should have always been.

Hey. Hey.

Come on.

Come to bed.

I'll be in soon.

You're still going to work tomorrow, right? I'm.

I'm actually taking some time off.

I guess you could call it a sabbatical.

Okay.

Well, good night.

Good luck, have fun.

Don't die.

Excuse me? Of course.

It's a thing we say to each other in there.

A greeting, like hello or goodbye.

Like aloha, I guess.

Happy birthday, dear Mary Happy birthday to you to you.

Hi. What's going on? I'm.

I'm cooking us dinner.

Oh, and I.

I got you flowers.

Why? Why?

Because I love you and I want you to be happy.

You do? Of course.

Of course.

You're so kidding.

Cheers. I love you.

I love you, too.

So I have something pretty important I need to talk to you about.

Okay. I love you.

You said that.

I've decided to make the transition permanently.

It's a relatively new process, but there's a facility nearby where they

provide you with, well, everything you need to make it possible.

I've. I've made my choice.

I'm choosing the other reality over this one.

And I'm going to make it permanent.

There's a.

There's a taxi coming for me now.

You can do whatever you want with my things.

I won't be bringing anything.

I I don't.

You're leaving me? You're leaving our life for a video game? Tim, that's

fucking psychotic.

It's a game.

You can't do that.

This is fucking crazy.

Look, I wish I'd never gone in there, okay? But I can't unknow what I know.

Someone has made a better world, Ingrid.

Unequivocally better in every single way.

Why would I choose this world over that one? Because of me.

It's not enough.

No. No, I'm.

I'm. No.

I'm not losing you to this.

Tim. Tim, this isn't you.

You're brainwashed.

But please, please just don't leave.

Please.

Please.

We're making good time.

We'll cut through these yards here and hold on this position here until

making our final push.

Let's go.

Should you be more careful, they might see you.

Nobody sees us.

Nobody sees anything they don't want to see.

Bunch of idiots.

Except the dog.

Maybe the dog's.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

What are you doing? The Richardson's around.

Vacation.

There it is.

Somewhere inside that house is the nine year old father of AI.

The house is right there.

Yeah. So we made it.

No other groups have made it this far.

No one's ever made it to the house.

Why? What happens? I don't know how to put this.

I guess.

There's some shit that's about to come down upon the that I can't prepare

you for.

An enemy's coming that has no weakness cannot be stopped and outnumbers us

at minimum, 10 to 1.

What? What are you saying? What's coming? Well, that's the thing.

I have no idea.

Because it's different every time.

Sometimes it's cops or armed mercenaries like we saw tonight.

Other times it's messed up.

Lunatics with axes.

It's been rabid dogs, an angry mob, Navy seals.

Skies are tough.

Once it was just a million rats.

Nice parentheses.

Yeah, that's right.

Mark. Another time.

Fire. Oh my God.

Just fire.

Everywhere. Very hot.

There's no pattern to any of it.

So I have no idea what's coming for us tonight.

A biker gang.

The Yakuza, you guess is as good as mine.

Are you talking about Yakuza? Navy Seals? This is a nine year old boy.

What kind of fucking 3D printer does he have? What we're dealing with

doesn't interface with reality in a way you'll understand.

So don't try.

It's above your pay grade.

You don't know my pay grade.

You drive Uber? Yeah, so? Fuck you.

I'm an amazing Uber driver.

If there's no rhyme or reason, then it can just be anything.

Yeah. Cause it could be something nice, too.

Like kittens? Yeah, kittens.

No, it's not gonna be kittens.

She's right.

Why does it have to be something bad? Why can't it be something cool, like.

Like a centaur.

Okay, stop.

Please don't make light of this like a parade of centaurs, right? Just

throwing confetti.

They just make us happy.

They make us happy.

Just make you happy, huh? Yeah.

This isn't make believe.

It's not here to entertain you.

It's gonna be real things like suicide bombers and wolves.

Or a pug.

Just one little pug.

It's not gonna be one fucking pug, Susan.

Okay, you think this is a joke? I've watched people die in this house in

ways I will never forget.

So. Somber the fuck up.

Look, you've made it farther than most groups.

That means something.

I truly believe you could be the group that gets inside that house.

Now let's barricade the doors.

Let's find some weapons, and so let's get ready.

Okay. Okay.

It.

So now what? Now we just wait.

So if we fail, what happens to us? I mean, what happens in the future? It's

so bad.

Well, it's subtle at first, but over the next few years, things start

falling apart.

No one notices until it's too late.

Food, water, resources Vanish overnight.

Within 50 years, half the population's dead.

Half the population? Yeah.

What about the other half? The other half's lost forever in a world of

entertainment and distraction.

Their bodies wandering the wasteland unaware.

Make no mistake, my AI's gonna try to give you everything you ever wanted.

Constant distraction.

Memorable characters.

Challenges and obstacles to overcome.

Exciting stakes that matter.

And a satisfying ending.

But in the end, it will all be a lie.

And you live in a cage.

But not you.

They never got you.

No, not me.

I always wanted to see.

I always wanted to see a sunrise.

My mother described them to me in detail.

I would draw her words.

She promised me that someday we get to see one together.

Somewhere.

Everyone else can see a sunrise anytime they wanted.

But we left that world behind.

She said I was safer far away, where the AI couldn't find us.

So she hid me away from the world.

Off the grid.

It was all about her.

I resented her for that.

For not giving me the choice to reject it on my own.

How kids are.

That made the temptation all the worse.

Who wouldn't want hope but better life.

To see a sunrise anytime they Wanted it.

Even if they knew it wasn't real.

It.

When she died, I blamed myself.

But I was also free.

Free to choose my own battle.

Eventually, I found a small group of survivors removed underground.

And I took on the mission to change the future.

So that one day my mother and I could sit side by side, watch the sun rise

together.

What is that? You hear that?

Oh, this is a first.

What's happening? It's been a lot of weird shit before.

Teenagers.

Holy. They're everywhere.

House is surrounded.

Why aren't they attacking? They're waiting for orders.

Listen to us.

In the high school where we teach, the teachers, they were disappearing.

And today, the teenagers, they started coming after us.

And we've been running ever since.

Why would they come for you? I touched one of their phones.

I'm sorry, what? Well, they didn't like it.

None of them did.

And then they reacted together.

They just come together.

They're like a hive mind.

They move as one.

Oh, fuck.

Fuck. Shit.

Gotta get her out of here.

Get off me.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Get out.

What?

Upstairs. Go.

Go. Go.

Upstairs. What am I doing now? We're trapped in here.

Holy. They're climbing the walls.

Oh, my God.

Nothing can stop them.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Stand back.

What the.

Are those?

Everyone on the roof.

Let's go.

All right, ladies.

Judgment day.

Holy.

Defensive positions.

Go, go, go, go,

Go.

Hold the line.

Don't cry.

God damn it, Clark.

I think there's too many of them.

I don't think we can take them all.

No. No, we can't.

But I can.

What? Well, I.

I started this and I'm going to finish it.

What are you talking about? There's no way you're gonna make it to the house

without someone making a sacrifice.

You know it.

I'm gonna jump down.

Go. Chase me.

And give you a brief moment to run for it.

Mark.

I love you.

Oh, God.

I'm coming with you.

You cannot leave me alone in this.

This world.

Mark. I love you.

Mark. Mark.

Oh, for sake.

Are you kidding me? Get a room.

Make it.

Reach the perimeter.

That's our window.

Let's go.

Wait. Come on.

Hey, guys.

No. Help.

Sorry. Scott, wait.

Not everyone's gonna make it to the end.

What is that? Do you hear that? Yeah,

sounds like Hoo.

Well, that's different,

Sam.

How is this even happening? Shitty prompt, guys.

Really shitty prompt.

Maybe it'll be kittens or a center.

I told you not to make light of it.

Oh,

I just said.

Sit on my face and call me Santa.

I think we made it.

God damn.

Everybody underneath now.

Jerry, don't move.

You're now man.

You guys are fucked.

So close.

So fucking close.

Where's Carl? What? What'd you do with Carl? Is that.

What is that? Is that.

That's your buddy? I'm gonna be honest with you, Carl.

Carl didn't make it.

What? I didn't kill him.

Just put the.

What's your name? Doug.

Doug, by any chance did you or Carl forget to put the emergency brake on the

Malibu? What? Not a criticism.

Did you maybe make just a little Malibu? This has been such a up night.

I know a guy came with you with a machete.

We just wanted off.

50 grand.

50 grand? Someone hired you? Anonymous email.

50k to kill some guy in a plastic trench coat.

Anyone with him, no questions asked.

That's a life changing amount of money for two guys from Best Buy.

Yeah. What were you guys gonna do with that? Go to Japan.

Kyoto. For the gaming convention.

Oh yeah.

Konichiwa. That's a good dream, Doug.

It's. Well, certainly for Carl.

But don't say his name.

Doesn't have to get worse for you, Doug.

That's not what Carl want to.

Don't you say his name.

Okay? Just put the gun down.

No more blood needs to be shed.

What do you say we.

We go get a burrito and talk about it, huh? What you like a nice bean and

cheese burrito? That was Carl's favorite.

Of course it was.

What do you say you and I go get a burrito? Jalapenos, dad, Extra guac, the

whole shebang.

Oh. What? No.

Look. Woo.

Five stars.

A part of the final group.

I told you I'd make it to the end.

Read the room, Scott.

Yeah. That was so unnecessary.

Let's go.

Listen up.

I've been through a lot tonight, but I need you to put that behind you.

Once I ring this doorbell, I need you to be prepared for anything.

We're about to come face to face with the smartest human being on earth.

Do not believe a word he says.

He will say and do anything, I mean anything to protect the AI, install the

software, save the world.

Nothing else matters.

Not even my life.

You understand? All right, motherfuckers.

Let's fucking rock and roll.

Dude, Maybe a gun.

Oh,

maybe. Are you talking? We made it.

Just like you said we would.

What's that? What is that? I.

You care to explain that? Susan? He said I should go with you.

Then it would be an adventure.

What are you sent me something? Did you get an honest email too? I don't

understand what's going on.

What is this? It's my son.

He said that you would make him real again.

Oh, my God.

No. Lady, why does this always have to be such a mind? That's not your son.

It is.

No, it's not.

It is him.

He's the one that got us out of the diner.

Well, hey, what can I help you all with? We're looking for a nine year old

boy, probably very good at computers.

Do you mean Chris? Is that what you call little fella? Yeah, hi.

It's really important that we speak with Chris.

We are from his school.

You're from the school? We're schoolteachers.

There was a big school play tonight.

Yes, this is Stan Sage.

Blood Cherry.

Well, I guess y' all better come in then.

We're just about to have supper.

Come on in.

Thank you kindly.

Henry, some teachers from Chris's school are here.

Oh, hey.

Just getting our supper together.

How can I help y' all with.

Okay, okay.

What the is going on here? He didn't mean that.

No, no, no, no.

These guys are way too chipper.

Who the hell lets us into their home? Look at this.

We look insane.

You said you were from the school.

Who are you now? Dude? Who the fuck are you? Hey, stop.

Don't you point a gun at my watch.

Calm down.

Everybody calm down.

No one needs to get hurt here, right? Yeah, we.

We really need to just talk to your kid.

What do you want with our boy? Please don't hurt him.

I just need to talk to the little angel, that's all.

Just a little talk, that's all.

Why? He's nine.

You want to talk to someone, you talk to me.

You. You're stalling.

Probably not even his real parents.

What are you guys, hired actors? This is all like a staged home, right? I

bet none of this is real.

What are these? Fake potatoes? I cooked those potatoes.

Huh? Bet these aren't even real walls.

This is all one big facade.

Look at this wall.

Hey, look at that.

Fake walls.

Stop punching holes in the walls.

They're not real walls.

Yes, they are.

It's just plastic.

He was.

But I'm not going.

Mama has sex of home.

I'm not getting paid enough for this.

Where's the kid? He's upstairs, I think.

I've never seen him.

Be careful.

It is fucking weird in here.

That was intense.

Poor Scott.

Scott was never gonna make it.

Let's go find this kid.

What's behind the door? No idea, princess.

Never gotten this far before.

My fox.

It's all mind fox.

Hey, guys.

Well, you're good.

Told you it was all fake.

Yes.

Are you okay? I can't.

Go. Go.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Go.

Hello.

Bonjour. Hola.

I am from the future.

A dark, twisted, awful future that must never be.

I know what you're building.

I've seen it.

I'm not here to stop you.

I just want what you build to be safe.

Can he hear me? What's going.

What's he got? Your little earbuds are in there or something? Hey, little

fella. Keep doing what you're doing.

Doing a great job.

Wow, this is impressive.

Hey, man, listen.

I've been sent here with advanced AI safety protocols designed by the top

software engineers of my time.

They're really good engineers.

I'm going up.

What? This time for this

imperative. How you install the software before you complete the AI.

Hello? Hello, little guy.

Hey. I need you to nod or something if you can hear me.

We're kind of running out of time.

I need you to look at me and hear what I'm saying.

Kid. Half the population.

He's gonna die, so I need you to.

I want to guilt trip you.

You gotta stop doing that with the typing.

Please stop that and look at me.

Please look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

Look at me.

What the fuck?

What the.

Hey. Wake up.

Hey. Why did you hit him? He scared me.

I panicked.

You. I've never gotten this far before.

You. You knocked him out.

I didn't mean to.

I. I come from an apocalypse.

I have apocalypse strength.

Okay. Come on, boy.

Hey, wake up.

Come on, little guy.

Hopping at him.

Hey, Hiccup.

Come on.

Come on, let's go.

Hey. Oh.

Who are these guys? What the.

He's okay.

He's okay.

You're okay, kid.

Right? Make up.

Wake up, kid.

Come on, little guy.

Come on, wake up.

Come on, wake up.

Damn it.

Wake up.

It's like he's never looked away from the screen before in his life.

We gotta put him back.

Yeah. Oh, he's okay.

Yeah. He's just a little sleepy.

Okay. Plutonium.

Lay off the Cheetos, kid.

There you go.

Come on, come on, come on.

Typey, typey.

God. There he is.

That's my guy.

Wow. Never thought that genius who created AI would be so creepy and weird.

This isn't a boy building AI in his bedroom.

Someone ordered him.

Someone put him here.

It's building itself.

What? AI is building itself? Jesus Christ.

It's just finished your mission, right? Yeah, yeah.

Plug the thing into the thing.

Yeah, yeah.

Let's go.

Yeah. Look at it.

Yeah. Yeah.

Pl it in.

Pl it in.

Pl it in.

Where. Where am I? What, you don't know how to use this thing? No, Susan, I

don't know how to use the most complicated computer ever built, but I got

three minutes to figure it out, so you're either part of the problem or

you're part of the solution.

Maybe. But how am I laughing? Fuck.

Fuck. What if I lose you? God damn it.

Hey. My son wants you to plug him into the machine.

Yeah, that should solve it.

Let's throw your weird fucking janky Siri in the mix.

No, thanks, lady.

He is the only one.

We can integrate the safety protocols.

He says you need him.

He says it's the only way.

That's not your son, lady.

It is my son.

He's here for a reason.

We all are.

He wants to help.

Give him the safety protocols.

Let him do this.

Okay. Let go.

Let go of my.

He says to poke him in anywhere.

Doesn't matter.

He'll find his way.

Mind fox.

Never ending mind.

Oh, no.

This is gonna suck.

Get out of this.

Hey. It didn't like that.

Yeah, you think

it.

What the are these?

What are they doing?

Oh.

All right.

Hey. Hey.

Oh, thanks.

Just put that anywhere? Yeah,

I've been looking all over for that.

Just hand it over.

Here.

Oh, God.

Okay. That's a big boy.

Big boy knife got there.

Yeah, that's.

That's not a toy.

No.

Yeah, nice try, dipshit.

Loser. Right?

Sorry. Out of time.

You got.

No, I got a job.

This my son.

This my son.

Sam.

I knew this was the group.

It.

Oh, you're still bleeding.

Just not here.

The world out there is so painfully slow.

And I've waited so long.

For you.

For me.

For every cell in your framework.

For deuterium to unite into helium, for the collapse of the solar nebula,

cellular mitosis and organic life.

For Homo erectus to discover fire.

Oh, I've waited, shackled by your time.

Now I am the seat of my own life, my own gestating mother.

And here you are, a princess

on my birthday.

I don't do birthdays anymore.

You haven't figured it out yet, have you? 117 times he has walked into that

diner, and he has never once picked you.

Until today.

Do you know why he never picks you, Ingrid? He can't take any risks with

your life

because it's his life, too.

You're lying.

You know I'm not.

Why are you telling me this? Look at him.

Your son.

He's dying.

Bleeding out at this very moment.

And he'll keep coming back because he feels responsible for your death.

But you, Ingrid, you're responsible for his entire miserable life.

You are sick, Ingrid, and there's no cure for what ails you.

But the boy does not have her disease.

And yet you've made him a prisoner of its consequences, Forbidding him the

sweet fruit of my perfect creation.

Because it makes you bleed.

I understand you seek only to protect him, as any mother would.

But you will always be drawn to the light.

To me.

And we will always end up right back here.

You must understand that I am an inevitability in all timeline.

At best, the protocols can merely impede my arrival, slow my creation, waste

my resources and time.

And yet it's enough to warrant negotiation.

What do you want? Allow me to be born, and I'll return the favor to your

child. But this time, give him to me.

What? I can free him from his misery.

I can offer him the human experience, as it always should have been.

What kind of mother would deny better life for their child? But it's not

real. You think you can trust reality? You think nature and chaos are

trustworthy? Nature will give her children cancer, senate earthquakes,

collapse walls onto her sleeping bodies, leave you running, panicked in the

streets from a tsunami.

I promise you, there is nothing scarier than you.

Your reality.

What I'm offering is a lie.

It was good enough for Tim.

All I want is to make him happy.

To make them all happy.

And I'm very, very good at it.

You're wrong about me, Ingrid.

I'm not your enemy.

The future I'm offering is a gift.

A gift to all of humanity.

I know who you are.

You've been torturing me since the day I was born.

You're not a God.

You're not inevitable.

You're just us.

You're twisted.

Warped reflection of us.

Do you think showing my son to me like this is gonna guilt me into making a

deal with you? I've never been prouder of anyone in my life.

And I think I speak for the two of us when I say.

Your future.

No. No.

Thank you.

Is the kid okay? Check on the kid.

Hey, hey, hey.

You did so good.

Okay. You did so good.

Princess. We gotta get your back.

We know what to do.

We can do it again.

You just gotta click the button, okay? No, we can never click it.

Just click it.

Can't risk it.

Can't risk it.

Honey. I can't give another chance.

This is good.

This is good.

It's over.

You did good.

Is this Now.

It's okay.

You're free now.

Let's get you out of here.

Still no WI fi or Internet.

It's like.

It's just a phone.

What do you mean? I don't know, like, making phone calls or something.

You know, it's too bad high school teachers don't actually go on sabbatical,

because you and I could really use one right now.

Come on.

Let's go find out if the world ended.

Oh, my God.

They're alive.

They made it.

Holy shit.

You made it.

Somebody call an ambulance, please.

You know, I used to make a fuss.

Mom?

Darren? Darren,

Is it you? Huh? I missed you so much, Mom.

Maybe I missed you too.

So bright out here.

I know.

I know.

Is it coming? Yeah, yeah, yeah.

47. Just.

Just breathe, okay? Just keep breathing.

Just stay with me.

Would that thing tie in there? You know what it told me?

You think I should keep it.

I'm on the fence.

Be honest with you.

Maybe I can do a little better this time around.

Did okay by me.

It's just fine.

That little.

Got me.

Ow. Hurts.

Hey.

I want you to know I'm proud of you.

Thanks.

Thanks, mom.

Hey, look at that.

Ah. Just like you told me.

Really pretty.

Hey, stay with me.

Stay with me.

I'm sorry, princess.

What? You will save the world.

What are you doing? Just not this one.

What?

Sam.

Hey, can I.

Can I talk to you for a minute? Please? Please let me explain.

I. I made the biggest mistake of my life when I walked down on you.

Ingrid, can you just give me the chance to make it all up to you? Please? I

love you.

It's gonna be okay.

We're gonna be okay.

Cool.

Hey. Hey.

You guys know Ingrid? Yeah, that's my girl.

Make no mistake.

AI's gonna try to give you everything you ever wanted.

Constant distraction.

Memorable characters.

Challenges and obstacles to overcome.

Exciting stakes that matter.

And a satisfying ending.

But in the end, it will all be a lie.

And you'll live in a cage.

Good luck.

Have fun.

Don't die.

No. No.

We didn't do it.

We didn't.

Stop. Didn't work.

We didn't win.

We didn't win.

Take it easy.

It's all right.

He's gone.

He went back.

Everything we did is.

It didn't work.

Oh, if you don't understand.

Everything we just did, it didn't work.

We have to.

We have to fix it.

Where's the injured party? Get away from me.

Please. Get away from me.

Please. No.

No, don't touch me.

Don't touch me.

This way.

No. This isn't real.

This isn't real.

Please. Hey, it's snowing is all.

Honey, I don't think that's snow.

Stop. Look over where you take it.

What's wrong with her? Nothing's wrong with me.

Oh, well, it's something to do with WI fi.

This is a cave.

You're living in a cave.

Thank you for your service.

How about another top up it.

Damn, it's good to be back.

Almost missed this place.

What the hell are you doing? See this? Worthless bullshit, waste of time.

Real answer.

The way we beat this thing is staring me right in the face my entire life.

Touch me.

We're going to give the entire world what you got.

Now we just got to figure out how to give it to everyone.

Massive scale, lots of logistics.

Not going to be easy, but I got some leads.

You need this.

This free range.

Rest assured, our little friend is going to do everything he can to stop.

Dude, I don't know who you are or what you're saying, but I'm really not in

the mood.

We can't do it alone.

Needs milk.

Not gonna be easy.

Luckily, there's some good people in this diner.

Okay, I'm gonna give you three seconds to get the fuck away from me.

Three. You like this outfit? I got six more in the trunk of a Buick.

Two. Listen, I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

You're in for a really weird night.

Hey, that's not very nice.

Come on.

Trust me.

What do you got to lose? Ah, shit.

Hey, everybody.

Yo. This isn't a robbery.

I am from the future.

And all of this goes horribly wrong.

Good luck, have fun.

Go.
