i don't know it looks gross

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

come on

huh

[Music]

okay

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Music]

true

i don't want a job

[Music]

if life starts approximately a billion

years ago we will have to wait 400 000

years to see the aberration of the first

nerve cells

this is where life as we know it begins

brains in formation of only a few

milligrams

it's not possible to determine any sign

of

intelligence yet it acts more as a

reflex

one neuron you're alive

two neurons

you're moving

and with movement interesting things

begin to happen

[Music]

animal life on earth goes back millions

of years

yet most species only use three to five

percent of its cerebral capacity but it

isn't until we reached human beings at

the top of the animal chain

that we finally see a species use more

of its cerebral capacity

ten percent may not seem like much but

it's a lot if you look at all we've done

with it

[Music]

do

[Music]

now let's discuss a special case the

only living being that uses its brain

better than us

the dolphin

it is estimated that this incredible

animal uses up to 20

of its cerebral capacity in particular

this allows it

to have an echolocation system that is

more efficient than any sonar invented

by mankind but the dolphin did not

invent the sonar it developed it

naturally

and this is the

crucial part of our

philosophical reflection we have today

can we therefore conclude that humans

are concerned more with

having

than being

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

horizontal slit

it's very well done and uh

oh you'll find within a month the scar

is practically

[Music]

rest assured we didn't harvest your

organs

and we've nearly slipped

into your lower tummy it's uh it's it's

a new drug that kids in europe are gonna

love believe me what is that well the

scientific term is cph4

which is not very sexy from a sales

point of view so um we're still working

on something with a bit more pop

any suggestions

ah

excuse me

welcome

welcome come on in lovely oops

splendid splendid

marvelous lovely

lovely very

right um

first of all

many thanks for taking part in this

enterprise which i'm sure will go off

flawlessly

these lovely particles and tickets will

enable you to return home in the next 24

hours

now upon arrival

you will be taken in hand by our people

so that um we might recover our

merchandise and you might rediscover the

freedom which you so richly deserve

i'm sure i don't need to remind you but

for any of those who may be tempted to

warn

or turn themselves in to the authorities

we have the names and addresses of the

families and every one of you down to

the most distant cousins

so

we rely therefore on your complete

discretion

good anyway uh gentlemen

madam

allow me to be the first to issue

bon voyage

oops

lovely

you gonna sell this

beings like us life seems to have only

one single purpose

gaining time

and it is going through time

seems to be also the only real purpose

of each of the cells in our bodies

to achieve that aim the mass of the

cells that make up earthworms and human

beings has only

two solutions

be immortal

or to reproduce

if his habitat is not sufficiently

favorable or nurturing

the cell will choose immortality

in other words

self-sufficiency and self-management on

the other hand if the habitat is

favorable

they will choose to reproduce

[Music]

that way when they die

they hand down essential information and

knowledge to the next cell which hands

it down to the next cell and so on

[Music]

thus knowledge and learning

are handed down

through time

okay

keep calm

you have to wait just play for time

and you'll have time to think it through

on the plane just take the flight

take the flight get out of here

okay that's the main thing right now

just save time

[Music]

save time

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

i'm not in the mood

[Music]

uh

[Music]

uh

[Music]

ugh

[Music]

uh

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

um

[Music]

let's imagine for a few moments what our

life would be like if we could access

let's say 20 percent of our brain's

capacity this first stage would give us

access to and control

of our own body

sir

yes

has it been proved scientifically well

for the moment it's just hypothesis i

confess but if you think about it

it's troubling to realize that the

greeks the egyptians and the indians had

notion of cells centuries before the

invention of the microscope and what to

say about darwin whom everybody took for

a fool when he put forth his theory of

evolution it's up to us to push the

rules and laws

and go from evolution to revolution

100 billion neurons per human

of which only 15 percent are activated

there are more connections in the human

body than there are stars in the galaxy

we possess a gigantic network of

information to which we have almost no

access

sir yes

and what would be the next stage well

the next stage would probably be control

of other people but for that we would

need to access at least forty percent of

our brain's capacity

after control of ourselves and others

become control of matter

but now we're entering into the realm of

science fiction and we don't know any

more than the dog

who watches the moon excuse me sir yes

but what would happen if for some reason

we ignore

somebody unlocked 100 of the cerebral

capacity

100

yes

i have no idea

do

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

so

[Music]

[Music]

few

hey

so

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

yes

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

hospital wait for me

[Music]

miss hello

hey miss i need help with surgeon

you cannot be in here we are operating

please get out

[Music]

he would have been able to save him

anyway

two more already invaded the cortex on

the right side of the spine

somebody put a bag of drugs in me i need

you to remove it it's leaking

do it now

right i'll just administer local

anesthetic don't bother

right

okay

calm

do you want

hello

hey

lucy

baby it's great to hear from you

but what time is it over there

i don't know it's night hold on a sec

let me get rid of the other line

i'm back

you're not partying too much are you you

promised me you'd look after yourself

i'm trying to mom i am trying to

well

thanks for calling out of the blue like

this

your father's gonna be sad he missed you

he isn't home from the gym yet

usually you call us in the morning

yes

i feel everything

what do you mean sweetie

space

here

the vibrations

the people

i can feel the gravity

i can feel the rotation of the earth

the heat leaving my body

the blood in my veins

i can feel my brain

the deepest parts of my memory

sweetie we have a bad connection i can't

hear you so well

what did you say about

a pain in my memory

when i had braces i

i can't remember the

feeling of your hand on my forehead when

i ran a fever

i remember stroking the cat it was so

soft

a cat what cat honey

a siamese with blue eyes and a broken

tail

sweetie you can't possibly remember that

you were barely a year old

i remember the taste

of your milk in my mouth

the room

the liquid

sweetie

what are you talking about

i just want to tell you that i love you

mom and dad

sweetie

and i want to thank you for the

thousand kisses that i can still feel on

my face

[Music]

i love you mom

i love you too sweetie

more than anything in the world

how much is left

500 grams

and how long will it take my body to

eliminate the rest of it

to answer that i need to know what it is

go ahead

see ph4

tell me about it

pregnant women manufacture cbh4 in the

six weeks of pregnancy

in tiny quantities

for a baby it packs the power

of an atomic bomb

it was gives the fetus the necessary

energy to form all the bones in its body

i'd heard that they tried to make a

synthetic version of it

didn't realize that they'd succeeded

if it really is cph4

in this quantity i'm amazed you're still

alive

not for long

[Music]

so

[Music]

foreign

[Music]

learning's always a painful process

like when you're little and your bones

are growing and you ache all over

you believe i can remember the sound of

my own bones growing

like this grinding under the skin

everything's different now like

sounds are music that i can understand

like fluids

it's funny i used to be so concerned

with who i was and what i wanted to be

and

now that i have access to the furthest

reaches of my brain i see things clearly

and realize that what makes us us

it's primitive

they're all obstacles

does that make any sense

like this pain you're experiencing

it's blocking you from understanding

all you know now is pain that's all you

know pain

where are the others

the others carrying the drugs i need the

rest of it

for medicinal purposes

[Music]

[Music]

berlin

[Music]

paris

[Music]

[Music]

thank you for sharing

oh good evening professors around there

do we have you for dinner tonight i'm

afraid so i'm exhausted have a good rest

thank you

[Music]

you scared the [ __ ] out of me ringing

that bell like some nut bar

i missed you

me too

you lose your keys or something

yeah

can i borrow your laptop yeah of course

so i spent all of yesterday on auditions

awesome

cause i just have you standing around

all day because i don't give a [ __ ]

about your time gabbing away in chinese

who understands chinese i don't

understand chinese

and then they say they're always gonna

call and they never do because they

don't even take your phone number you

know except this one guy but he uh he's

not chinese

he works at the agency and he's cute oh

my god he's cute and then like the cute

and i kind of know it kind of way like

he had this thing oh my god his ass he's

let me get started on that

and you were never gonna guess where he

took me

four seasons

royal suites

i'm sorry i'm talking about myself

what's up how's richard he's dead

you guys are crazy

i'm gonna take a shower

yes professor norman my name's lucy i

just read all your research on the human

brain we need to meet

all of my

research well i'm very flattered young

lady but i find that hard to believe

i must have written no less than 8 734

pages i can recite them to all my heart

if you wish

are you one of emily's friends

it sounds like one of her silly jokes is

she there with you

i just told you

lucy

right

yes sorry i read your theory on the use

of the brain's capacity it's a little

rudimentary but you're on the right

track

thank you

professor my cells are reproducing at a

phenomenal speed several million per

second i'm having trouble precisely

evaluating the time of my death but i

doubt i'll last more than 24 hours what

are you talking about what i'm saying is

that your theory

i is a large quantity of synthetic cph4

that will allow me to use 100 of my

cerebral capacity right now i'm at 28

and what she wrote is true once the

brain reaches 20 it opens up and expands

the rest there are no more obstacles

they fall away like dominoes i'm

colonizing my own brain

uh well

i don't know what to

say

it's true i've i've been working on this

theory for over 20 years but it's it's

only

all ever been

hypotheses and research ideas i never

thought anyone

would you can control your own

metabolism yes

and i can start to control other

people's bodies

also i can control magnetic and electric

waves some

not all of them just

the most basic

television

telephone

radio

i don't feel pain

fear

desire

it's like all things that make us human

are fading away

it's like the less

human i feel

all this knowledge about

everything quantum physics

applied mathematics

the infinite capacity of a cell's

nucleus

they're all exploding inside my brain

all this knowledge

i don't know what to do with it

[Music]

if you're asking me

what to do

you know

if you think about

the very nature of life

i mean

from the very beginning

the development of the

first cell

divided into two cells

this whole purpose of life has been to

pass on

what was learned

that there was no

higher

purpose so if you're asking me what to

do with all this knowledge you're

accumulating i'd say

pass it on

just like any

simple sale

going through time

time

yes of course

i'll be here during 12 hours

are you leaving yes

what is this a prescription

since when did you start writing in

chinese

since an hour ago at least i don't

understand any of this your kidneys

aren't functioning efficiently your

liver is failing you you need to make

some lifestyle changes take this

medication work out organic you'll be

okay

[Music]

[Music]

hello yes i have important information

about a group of drug traffickers i need

to speak with someone in a position of

authority

you're very lucky there's no one with

more authority in this office than me

but let's start at the beginning what is

your name listen up here adoleo get off

your desk sit in your chair pick up the

red pen to the left of you and take down

everything i say

there are no cameras hurry up i have no

time to waste

go ahead

i'm going to be sending you the details

of three people about to arrive in

europe each one is carrying a kilo of

drugs

i need you to arrest them and collect

the substance i'll need it for later

what form are these drugs in

bars capsules powder

hidden in plastic pouches inside their

intestines excuse me make sure to be

careful when you remove them the product

is very powerful

[Music]

believe me

got it

computers now you should wipe your nose

excuse me i have a glass of champagne

um yes of course

[Music]

[Music]

thank you

i'm very sorry but uh you really need to

close your table now

sure

[Music]

to knowledge

[Music]

if the habitat is not sufficiently

favorable nurturing

[Music]

the cell will choose immortality

[Music]

in other words

self-sufficiency and self-management

[Music]

you must have seen me

[Music]

open the door

[Music]

let's do something help me

please

[Music]

[Music]

are you okay

say something

to paprika

laughs

[Music]

i see

don't move

i need to talk to you alone and i need

you to put your hands up please

did you get the packets

yes

where are they

they're safe

here

empires they'll be safer in my hands

you know as a cop we see some pretty

weird [ __ ]

but i have to be honest with you

wait to the back there that freaks me

out

to put everyone to sleep like that

do i need to be worried

[Music]

good

it's mine

nope

um

[Music]

no this is not possible lady this is a

police car

okay

[Music]

be

[Music]

you always drive like that i've never

driven before

great

[Music]

hey that's one way we're late

[Music]

we never really died

[Music]

do

[Music]

sorry sir

fine

[Music]

i'm gonna tell them to stop following us

don't bother

[Music]

[Music]

do

[Music]

[Music]

this time

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

this

give me the case

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

hmm

[Music]

open

let's go

i'm not sure i could be of any help for

you

yes you are

what for

a reminder

shall we go

where are we going

take the first left

okay

[Music]

foreign

sir sir

uh hey you

you're in paris yes i am good good

excellent

so look i am no longer at the hotel now

i have come to the university we have

taken the liberty of calling together a

few of my colleagues to discuss your

case top men's in their field

and uh very frustrated i trust you

oh thank you so do you think you could

meet us here in university

i'm very pleased to meet you likewise

captain del rio how do you do

let me introduce you to my colleagues

this is professor cantier neurosurgeon i

know who everyone is

of course

a gentleman this is lucy the first woman

to

well i mean

as i mentioned earlier uh miss lucy has

for reasons that were made a mystery to

me

unlocked certain portions of her

brain

that offer access to

previously unexplored cerebral zones

she has

abilities

can you give us an example

your daughter gabrielle age six died in

a car

accident there's a blue car leather

seats

plastic bird hanging from the rear view

now

[Music]

foreign

sure

[Music]

how did you manage to access all this

information electrical impulses every

cell knows and talks to every other cell

they exchange a thousand bits of

information between them per second

cells grouped together forming a giant

web of communication

which in turn forms matter

get together take on one form

deform reform

makes no difference it's all the same

humans consider themselves unique so

they've rooted their whole theory of

existence on their uniqueness one is

their unit of measure but it's not

all social systems we put into place are

a mere sketch one plus one equals two

that's all we've learned but one plus

one has never equal two

there are in fact no numbers and no

letters

we've codified our existence to bring it

down to human size to make it

comprehensible we've created a scale so

that we can forget its unfathomable

scale

but if humans are not the unit of

measure and the world isn't governed by

mathematical laws

what happens on that

film a car speeding down a road

speed up the image infinitely

the car disappears

so what proof do we have of its

existence

time gives legitimacy to its existence

time is the only true

unit of measure

it gives proof to the existence of

matter

without time

we don't exist

time is unity

[Music]

[Music]

time to go then

are you sure you need such huge doses

i'm afraid you won't survive some cells

inside me will fight and defend their

integrity till the very end in order to

attain the last few percent i have to

force it

to crack the cells open to their nucleus

all this knowledge lizzie

i'm not even sure that mankind is ready

for it we're so driven by power and

profit

it might bring us only instability and

chaos

[Music]

ignorance brings chaos not knowledge

i'll build a computer and download all

my knowledge and then

i'll find a way for you to have access

to it

yeah

i just hope we will be worthy of your

sacrifice

nobody moved

[Music]

do you understand english

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

what is she doing she's looking for

energy

[Music]

and she's trying to connect with all

computers
