Amelia 2.0 Page #3

we speak directly to her.

Watch.

She knows that I'm speaking

specifically to her.

Amelia.

Ellen.

Paul.

Max.

Amelia.

Okay, let me try something.

Hundreds of years of

research and discovery

and the fix might be as

simple as a light bulb.

- What are you talking about?

- Voltage.

- Activity increase.

Consciousness to level six.

Beginning voltage

increase in 10,

nine,

eight,

seven,

six,

five,

four,

three,

two,

one.

Subject is online.

- Amelia,

can you hear me?

Do you know where you are?

Do you know who you are?

Can you tell me your name?

- I'm Amelia Summerland.

- I know, I

know, I know, I know.

- Wait, wait.

Quiet, quiet everybody.

- Oh sh*t.

Heart stop.

Heart stop!

Stop it.

- Get a hold of her.

- You're safe.

You're safe, Amelia.

You're safe.

You're safe.

- We've lost everything.

- We need to tell her.

- She won't be

able to handle it.

- It couldn't possibly be worse

than the episode we just had.

Blunt her emotions.

It'll keep her calm.

- So, um, what

that means, Amelia,

is that you will never age.

You'll never get sick.

You'll never die.

You're still you, Amelia, but...

You're different now.

- Tell me what you're

thinking, Amelia.

- Who are all of you?

- Wesley enterprises

experienced a record low

last quarter but

remain optimistic.

Insiders suggest something big...

- I want to announce it.

- She's not ready.

- She's talking,

for the love of god.

- She struggles

with motor control.

She can't walk

without assistance.

- Her nervous system

is a disaster.

The interface, it overclocks.

The computer can't keep up.

She's had several

catastrophic failures.

- When the computer resets,

we have to completely rebuild.

- We're six days from an

update with the board.

We have to make something up.

How long does it

take to rebuild?

- Weeks.

I mean, it's not a simple

- 23 hours to be

precise.

- Process.

- Here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna put

her back on line.

I'm letting Carter meet her.

- It's too soon.

- We have to have something

to show these people.

Imagine how they're gonna react

when they see Carter

reunited with his dead wife.

- The emotional stimuli

might cause another failure.

- We have to do something.

- What about Carter?

I'm worried what

that might do to him.

- I'm worried about keeping

this project funded.

- Carter.

- Amelia.

You have a visitor.

- Hello.

- We'll be right outside.

- Do you know what

they did with my ring?

- Your ring?

- It's been missing

since I woke up.

- They wouldn't let me see you.

- Why not?

- They said there's

things they don't want us

to talk about yet.

They said it's the only

way that you'll get better.

- Am I sick?

- Not anymore.

- Then why do I

need to get better?

- Millie.

- There's something in my ear.

I can feel it there.

- I'll talk to the doctors.

- My ring.

Can I have it back now, please?

- Of course.

I never stopped believing.

- I don't understand.

Who are you?

I can feel my hand stall now.

- Really?

What?

Somebody get in here!

- Get back.

Move!

- Tell me what's happening.

- Get her legs.

- Don't worry, Carter,

this has happened before.

- Get her to the chair.

- One, two, up.

- Tell me what's happening!

- Mr. Summerland,

you need to leave.

Mr. Summerland, you

need to leave now.

- What are you doing to my wife?

What are you doing to my wife?

- Get control of her, Max.

- I'm workin' on it!

Don't look.

We noticed when Ellen

would play Mozart

over the intercom your

brain activity would spike.

So, we figured this

might help you redevelop

some of those

broken connections.

And this little present.

This is a textbook example

of art meeting science.

When Dr. Beckett

developed microbes

that specifically target

cells to help them grow,

this was the first

clinical subject.

This plant hasn't

aged in over a decade.

- So it's...

Real?

- Absolutely.

But just, you know,

not all of it.

I guess it's like you.

- Like me.

- You are Amelia.

- I don't remember if I played.

- Oh, don't worry.

It's easy, here.

We're just gonna do the basics.

I'll show you.

Come look.

This is c.

Go ahead, play it.

What are you feeling?

- Nothing.

- Okay.

I'm gonna try

something different.

You're gonna feel something

completely different,

but it's a good feeling,

so don't worry, okay?

- Emotions

processing unit reacting.

- Okay, play it again.

- That...

Is beautiful.

- Okay, play it again.

But take it easy, okay?

Your mind's trying to catch up.

That's music.

- It wasn't my decision to

introduce her to you yet.

She wasn't ready.

We found the problem

and fixed it.

- Why isn't she moving?

- She's in standby mode.

Unaware of anything around

her until we give her

the verbal command

to wake up again.

It's like sleeping.

- No.

- Carter.

- You have her on

a remote control?

- It's not like that.

- This isn't right.

She was at peace.

- Carter, please, please.

I understand.

I really do.

It looks very strange

seeing her like this.

- Where is your

daughter now, Ellen?

- I beg your pardon?

- Where is her body?

- Carter.

- Where is she.

- In the ground.

- Where is Amelia?

Find a different test subject.

- You know we can't do that.

- Wesley enterprises,

the tech giant

positioned in cedar

rapids, Iowa...

- shocked the world today

when founder Paul Wesley

announced what he says is

the first successful copy

of a human brain.

- This will give new hope

to Alzheimer's patients,

to parapalegics, to those

suffering from terminal illness.

Our Amelia

is the future.

- Wesley released

no images of Amelia,

but promised to unveil her

publicly three months from now.

- Wesley's announcement

sent shock waves

through both the medical

and religious communities.

- Protestors rallied

outside the capital

calling for strict legislation...

- that clearly defined the

definition of human and machine.

Proponents of the new technology

suggest current definitions

are vague and open

to interpretation.

- My colleagues, it would

be foolish to suggest

that the world would be

better off without technology.

Without our advanced care

for the sick and elderly.

But these technologies

work in Harmony

with the human spirit,

not against it.

These are gifts from god

and if we attempt to

escape from these gifts,

to reach higher than we

were intended to reach,

we will have become

arrogant and foolhardy.

- Hi, Carter, this

is senator Williams office.

We received your message.

We'd like to speak with

you as soon as possible.

- More of her

memories are turning

but four weeks to

play twinkle twinkle?

- I am sorry, Max.

- Oh no, no, no,

it's not your fault.

Don't apologize.

The important thing is that

you're making progress.

- And that is good?

- It's very good, Amelia,

considering most of what you

remember was left in fragments.

We have the data here showing

you're making huge strides.
