Anti Matter Page #6

What is happening to me, Nate?

What is that?

What is that?!

Why don't I eat?

Why don't I remember?

Answer it.

Don't threaten me.

I'm trying to help.

Answer the phone.

You want me to trust you?

Okay.

Hello.

No, no, I'm with her now.

Who is it?

Who is it?

Who is it?

This is Ana Carter, U.S. Citizen.

This is Ana Carter.

Ana Carter, Ana Carter, Ana Carter...

Something's not right.

Everything will change.

People, we're going to be gods.

It doesn't look like I thought it would.

It that really you?

Why don't you call your mom?

How is she, anyway?

How did her move go?

Want to see a magic trick?

Want to see a magic trick?

You thought you'd get 800 million people

to help you do your homework

and it would stay a secret?

I'm losing my mind!

Losing my mind!

Is that really you?

Do you want to go see a movie tonight?

We'll go see a movie.

You're the chemist.

Said you needed to take

samples, run tests.

I found something last night,

it'll cheer you up.

Nobody's after our project.

To the moon, to the moon.

To the vault of a bank.

Anywhere.

Ana, thank f***.

Where's Nate?

Come inside. / I shot him.

I need help. / What are you doing?

You didn't shoot anyone.

You need to help me, okay?

I've lost my soul.

Do I...

Ah, yes!

I did the peanut routine

with you earlier, didn't I?

Sorry about that.

It's Carter, Miss Carter. / Yes, yes.

Look, I don't know why

I do that sh*t, but, uh,

let's get you cleaned up.

High as a kite. / No, it's a wormhole.

And they slept together!

You in some sort of trouble? /

No trouble, officer.

She's fine, aren't you? /

I've lost my soul.

I saw it on the video. / Okay, yep.

Come on, let's get you inside.

No!

It was you!

You did this to me! /

You f***ing muppet.

Come on. / No!

Ana, I'm trying to help.

Okay?

Sh*t.

Your level of gratitude

leaves a little something

to be desired.

Nate, I found her in the crowd.

Christ, what did she do to you?

I've lost my mind.

You haven't.

Nate, I have.

I have.

I'm seeing things that cannot be real.

I've hurt myself.

I hurt you.

We understand what happened. /

Did you see the video?

Mhmm. / What was that?

Was that my soul? / Don't, okay?

That's not science, and it doesn't help.

You remember the experiment.

Yes, I remember the experiment.

We needed readings.

So we could run it as a computer model.

But the wormhole was open

too long, creating a vacuum.

Your generator creates wormholes.

Wormhole theory takes the

fabric of space and time

and it folds it creating a path here.

We, your machine, the algorithm,

induces an event

horizon at the out node.

A mathematical black hole

pulling the subject through.

So it was open too long and...?

And the gravity field

distorted the readings.

Our numbers were all over the chart.

You remember the first

time you went through.

Afterwards, we decided, all of us,

that we had to get those numbers.

The first time? / We had to find a way

to shut it off the

nanosecond you were through.

We had to...

Yes, the worm's numbers were dropping.

So we had to make sure it snapped shut

the moment my mass was through.

You used the scale sensor to

automatically cut the generator

the moment it had weight applied to it.

It was your idea.

So, we ran it again.

I went through a second time.

But then...

After that I can't...

What happened?

Three, two, one.

271 apparently successful. / What?

Keep watching.

The wormhole stays open too long.

Guys, we have a problem.

Okay, so there's the out node

with the scale sensor cutoff.

Okay, we ready?

Are we not moving a little fast here?

It's fine, I'm fine, and

we've done this once.

Yeah, and the cycles are dropping.

We have minutes, seconds, even.

It's really now or never.

Come on, we need this.

It's fine.

Okay, and on three, two, one.

Liv! / Sh*t.

You alright?

What the f***?

No, no, no, no, no.

What am I?

Ana. / Am I a clone?

Tell me what that is? /

Okay, please, not again.

We can show you. / What happened?

Relax, Ana!

Just listen to us, please! / Tell me!

Every time!

Every time.

Jesus, you're not a clone! /

I am, I saw!

There were two of them!

You're a chemist, you dumb sh*t!

All those samples you took!

Liv, she doesn't remember. / No.

Well, there's the microscope.

Show her.

Tell you girlfriend to

write it down this time!

Jesus, you f***ing shot at me.

Don't.

You don't need to.

So? / Increase the resolution.

It's not working properly. / Oh, it is.

There's nothing here, there's no...

It's complicated. /

Woops, you're an anomaly.

A quantum f***ing mistake.

Liv, don't make any harder than it is.

No?

I am sick of her

thinking I'm the bad guy.

I've hardly slept the last

month trying to figure it out!

And the number of times, daily,

that this retard comes in

and shoots at me!

Where the hell did she

get a gun from, anyway?

You're light, Ana.

When we fold space and we pull

you across the event horizon,

we're pulling you faster

than the speed of light.

That's how a wormhole works.

You're the light that got left behind.

That's not possible.

I'm more than just a copy.

I think.

I mean, I'm thinking right now.

I have emotions.

I am.

We don't understand it, either.

You're light.

You have photonic weight.

You have a radiation signature.

You do exist.

I'm just not real.

Not in the normal sense.

It's why you're not making memories,

or eating, or drinking.

It's why your dreams are so... /

My dreams.

My dreams are vivid.

Like, like I'm looking

through someone else's...

Tell me.

I know what happens next.

Hey.

Sorry I pushed you in the alley.

That whole day was just...

I was so scared.

You don't remember though, do you?

And her?

Well, she has mass.

She...

She exists.

She's the real Ana.

No.

Bullshit, don't say that!

How can I not be?

This is really hard for me, too.

I feel hollow, like

I'm missing something.

Yeah, like a soul?

Hey, I eat, I walk around everyday.

I remember what I do.

I remember what you do.

I was pulled through.

I'm real.

It'll be alright, and

we're gonna be there.

I know.

Just don't be sad, okay?

This'll work out.

The algorithm's being

rewritten, and I'll talk to her.

To me, you mean.

Just for the moment, can we not...?

So, what happened?

You two?

What, just like that?

Ana, I'm crazy about you.

I have been for so long.

Why her, then?

Why not me? / Because you're not real.

We can fix it.

We open up the wormhole again.

I've rewritten the code so

that it's no longer defined

by volume but by mass.

You have no mass, we

can send you through.

Send me where?

You won't go anywhere.

Nowhere, essentially.

It's...

It's like smashing a mirror.

Your reflection doesn't go anywhere,

it's just...

Gone.

You want to kill me.

You're not alive to kill.

You're my reflection.

You'll open your eyes and be here.

I am real, I exist!

Oh, my god!

I exist, I don't want to die!

Mom? / Hi, it's me.

I just got your... /

Mom, I love you so much.
