Anti Matter Page #4

Ana, are you... / Yes, I said yes.

Right it down, okay?

There's a pen by the mouse cage.

You should eat.

You look awful.

Not like that, but...

I don't understand

why you're not eating.

What's happening?

What do you mean?

You know what I mean, Nate.

What's happening?

You tell me.

Don't do that.

Don't make this difficult for me.

Don't be weird.

Look, I'm not trying to make

anything difficult for anyone.

Then what's happening?

And I want you to tell me.

What's wrong?

What've have you to be paranoid about?

It's not paranoia, Nate.

There's something faulty with my memory.

You were hit.

Then I should see a doctor.

No.

It has to do with the wormhole.

You're seeing a doctor.

You've got an MRI scan in two weeks.

Do I now?

See, that's what I mean.

I'm having trouble remembering

things, recent things.

Well, we tested for that

with the mice and with the cat.

I don't know what it is.

And you guys, I mean.

You're not helping. / Ana.

What?

You've told us this before, all of it.

Told us.

Look, Ana, I need you

to stop investigating.

The detective stuff, it's dangerous.

I mean, with the government

agency and the worm and...

They're sending someone to investigate.

Ana, I need you to trust me on this.

Do you remember two summers ago,

we went climbing in the quarry

with the ropes and stuff?

Remember how I got stuck?

Like, really stuck?

And I was scared.

I think I even cried a little.

You cried a lot, Nate.

I didn't know grown men

could cry like that.

I was scared.

But you talked me through

it, you got me down.

I trusted you.

And I trusted that you wouldn't

tell anyone else, either.

I never did.

Except my mom.

You told your mom? / Sure.

I mean, she's my mom.

She thinks you're cute.

So I need you to trust me.

Stop the investigation.

Okay, that's good.

But I need you to write it down.

Write it down.

Stop the investigation,

trust Nate, trust Liv.

Ana, please.

If I ask you to kiss me right now,

what would you do?

Why aren't you eating?

You really should eat.

I am exhausted. / Yep.

Yeah, me too.

Hey, look, your silk

worm is still alive.

I think he's trying to make a nest.

It's called a cocoon, Nathan.

Your only friend in the whole world.

You okay?

Looking for something?

Any idea what this means?

No idea.

What does is mean? /

You wrote it, sister.

It's a prime number, if that helps.

Where's my camcorder?

My place.

I took it to digitize the experiments.

Yep, you said he should take it.

Did I really? / Mhmm.

Can you bring it back?

It'll help to see what we've been up to.

Sure.

What are you working on?

I'm trying to streamline the code, Ana.

So?

So we can operate the generator again

without all those illegally

acquired processors.

Happy?

Why don't you call your mom?

How is she, anyway?

How did her move go? / My mother?

Why, is she involved in this?

Oh, my god.

Look, you want me out of here.

I get it.

Why mention my mother?

What is going on?

I dream about this

door, I dream about it!

Hey, you guys better come join us.

The Vice Chancellor's here.

So, as I was saying,

it infected millions, hundreds

of millions of computers.

Apparently.

And it's been traced to our university,

to this department,

ladies and gentlemen,

from an IP address in this building.

Well done.

You've actually achieved

something of significance.

This is Mr. Stovington from GCHQ.

He'll be questioning

everyone in the department.

Do cooperate.

And you're welcome to have

a member of faculty present,

should you wish.

Ana!

Ana.

Jesus, get a grip.

Okay, so this detective guy.

Tell me again just how

we don't end up in jail.

She's not gonna stand up to questioning.

She'll be fine, won't you, Ana?

Where are the patents?

The what where?

The patents.

You're stealing my project.

Excuse me?

Where are the filing documents?

In whose name are they? /

They're in your name.

Then where are they? /

With my father's solicitor.

What did you do to me? / I warned you.

Ana, Liv and I are trying to help.

No!

What did we do to her? / Yeah.

Ana. / You said something

about matter, about how

the wormhole moving matter.

What was that about?

I don't remember. / No, you do.

You said, "The wormhole,

it just sends matter."

Yeah, but... / Go home, just calm down.

But what if there's something else?

If we're more than just matter?

What if there's a part of

me that doesn't have mass?

If I went through but...

but my soul was left behind.

Uh, I'm not sure I can take this.

Okay, look, you need

to listen to yourself.

You just accused us of

trying to steal your project,

and now you're talking about your soul.

You're f***ing crazy. / Liv, shut up.

Okay.

Look, Ana, we're trying to help.

We do care.

Ana, Ana!

Sh*t.

Ana!

Twice in one day, lucky me.

Everything okay? / Hey.

Mom, look.

Have I been... / Acting a bit strange?

Yes, you have.

Say again?

No, this morning.

Did we talk already today?

Ana, are you sure you're... /

What password?

I don't know.

You said I shouldn't talk to

you unless you say a password.

What was the password?

Ana. / Mom.

Is that really you? / Of course.

Mom, hey.

You said that you'd say a word,

that I shouldn't trust

you unless you say...

You're my mom.

I'm not giving you a

password to talk to you.

Just don't listen to me

if I talk to you about...

Ana.

I have to go.

There's someone at the door.

Talk to me when you're feeling better.

Nate, look, I'm really sorry.

Oh, god, sorry.

I thought you were someone else. /

No, it's okay.

Don't worry. / Sorry.

What are you...?

Neurological damage,

just doing some research.

Well, good luck. / Thanks.

Excuse me, can I ask you something?

Yeah, I have a boyfriend.

Oh, god no, don't worry.

I'm just trying to work something out.

Does human memory have mass?

I mean, if you could

wipe a person's memories,

would their brain weigh less?

Weird one, I know.

It's just... / No, no.

Um, it's an interesting question.

You know, I have no idea.

Have you tried Google?

It just want to sell me USB sticks.

Well, how do they work?

Do they weigh more when they're full?

No, I wouldn't imagine, anyway.

They're just zeros and ones.

I think the human memory

works much the same.

It's electricity, ons and offs.

Like an empty battery has the same...

Has the same mass as a full one.

I know about batteries.

So memory is electricity,

but electricity is electrons

and electrons have mass.

Thanks.

One last thing.

Do you think we're

more than our memories?

I mean, we're born with none

and die with a lifetime's worth.

So when we talk about

the idea of a soul,

maybe we're just talking about...

Sorry, you're busy.

Thanks, anyway.

Good luck with your work.

Thank you.

Someone with a key?

Yeah, I'll hold.

Oh, yeah.

They're asking everyone.

Someone broke in over

at the chemistry lab.

Probably some drugs, then.

These protestors are horrid.

They shouldn't allowed to

harass people like that.
