who's a duplicate in the system.

Like a family

member who has died.

- That's it.

- We need another match.

Guys, this is

statistically impossible.

You're not gonna find anything.

Can you get a scan from a photo?

It has to be high-res

and in focus.

Technically, I can do it.

I have hundreds of high-res

photos of people's eyes.

All right.

You can scan these.

Give me the hard drive.

This is ridiculous.

Who do you want me to run?

Mmm. Run my father,

Tobias George Gray.

He died two years ago.

He's in the system...

...and he's registered

at Heathrow, 2006.

That makes sense.

He was traveling there frequently.

Try, um, my uncle, Basil.

Died seven years ago of cancer.

All right.

Not found.

Try your grandparents.

My grandparents.

Bev and Barry.

Bev.

She's in the system.

Registered...

...at Schiphol airport

in Amsterdam, 1998.

How many people

are in the database?

There's like hundreds of millions.

There's a billion soon.

- Try my grandparents.

- Right there.

Judy is in the system.

She's registered

at a nursing home

in New Haven in 2009.

And Malcolm?

Malcolm.

Not found.

All right, so anybody else?

Sofi.

- Okay, try Sofi.

- Okay.

Sofi.

She's in the system.

That makes sense.

She was probably

scanned when she

came through customs.

No.

It says that the IP

address coordinates

say that she was scanned...

...in a community center

in Delhi, India.

She must have traveled there.

Three months ago?

- That doesn't make any sense.

- That's not right.

It's an error.

It's only the seventh one

we've tried.

I need to get some air.

What the f*** is happening?

Did you put him to bed?

Yeah.

You should go to India.

Can't go to India.

Can't or won't?

India is not Boise,

Idaho, Karen.

There is someone there with

Sofi's exact iris pattern.

The eyes and the brain

are connected.

If the cellular

structure in the eye

is reoccurring from

person to person...

...then maybe

something in the brain...

...carries over as well,

like a neurological link.

Maybe the eye really

is some kind of...

...window to the soul.

Soul, Karen? Soul?

Is my wife really

using the word "soul"?

Like you hold any

validity in that?

Call it whatever

you wanna call it.

Dr. Simmons was testing

a memory connection...

...between our son

and Paul Edgar Dairy.

And it wasn't our test,

but you can go to India...

...and you can find

this person with

Sofi's eyes and you can

do the same.

I can't go there.

It's just India...

Not India!

I can't go there!

I can't go back there!

I can't go back

to that part of my life!

I can't do it!

I gotta just let it go.

The man I married...

...I don't think he

would let his own grief,

even if it was overwhelming...

...get in the way of what

could potentially be...

...the greatest scientific

discovery the world has ever seen.

This is bigger than you.

It's bigger than me.

It's bigger than Sofi.

Then maybe you should go.

I would, but I...

I didn't know Sofi.

It's a false positive,

you understand?

It's an error.

It has to be an error.

It's statistically

impossible. Data point.

If I drop this phone

a thousand times,

a million times...

...and one time,

it doesn't fall...

...just once, it hovers in the air.

That is an error

that's worth looking at.

You're so f***ing stubborn.

Technology has barely touched

Mira Devi's daily life.

In her hut, muscle, not machines,

gets the chores done.

That is about to change for Mira

and perhaps millions like her.

At this center, her irises are

scanned with biometric devices.

They're uploaded and then

sent to a massive server.

Once this information

is processed...

...out comes a twelve-digit

number for her and her only.

India's unique identification

program started just a year ago.

If it succeeds,

India will become

the first country

in the world...

...using biometric data for identity

purposes on a national scale.

Oh.

First time to India?

It is, actually. Yeah.

Darryl Mackenzie.

Uh, Dr. Ian Gray.

Oh. Doctor. Well.

Two men, both doing good work.

What do you do?

Well, I'm in sales, but, uh...

Also do The Man's work.

The Lord's work.

Oh.

Uh, of course.

Good night, Dr. Gray.

Uh, have a good night.

Hope our paths cross again.

Hello.

Hi. Can I help you?

You seem like

the boss of this place.

Boss, no.

Circus manager more like it.

I'm Priya Varma,

how can I help you?

I'm Dr. Ian Gray.

I'm visiting from America.

I have a very strange request.

Yes?

I'm looking for someone who

was scanned here a while back.

The thing is,

I don't have their name.

All I have is a picture

of their eyes.

This is what

their eyes look like.

They may not be

this exact color.

Uh...

Why are you looking for her?

Is she in some kind of trouble?

Her?

Uh, no. Of course not. She's not in

trouble. She's incredibly special.

You do recognize them?

I do, if it is

who I think it is.

But why are you looking for her?

Here's another photo.

Okay, um, this doesn't

make sense.

These are her eyes,

but this isn't her face around them.

That's exactly why

I'm looking for her.

Salomina.

Salomina?

Yeah.

Sweet girl.

Very smart girl.

But I haven't seen her recently.

When was the last time

you saw her?

Uh... A few months ago.

Could you help me find her?

Um...

I could make a donation

to the community center.

I mean, I'm going to make a

donation to the community center.

I don't want to sound crass,

like I'm bribing you...

...but I am kind of bribing you.

No, of course, I mean, of course

any donation

would help the center.

Uh...

It's very important.

Please.

Okay.

You meet me

tomorrow at 12:
00...

...at the Okhla market,

okay?

All right.

So you want me

to take a photo of you?

You wanna see?

You see? Okay.

Hello.

I almost didn't come.

Yeah, I was worried.

What changed your mind?

I, uh, did some research on you.

Uh-oh.

Come.

Hello.

Do all these children eventually

end up at the community center?

Some do,

but there are over one million people...

...living in this

30-block radius alone.

According to the registrar,

Salomina and her

parents live here.

I'm gonna ask this lady here.

Okay.

What's wrong?

What'd she say?

She could be living

like a stray dog.

She's totally alone.

Her mother's dead, her father's dead.

She knows the address

of the community center...

...but Priya said she

hasn't been there in weeks.

There's a million people

living in a ten-block radius.

It's gonna be

impossible to find her.

Well, you shouldn't give up.

You flew halfway around the world.

You should keep looking.

At least give it a few days.

I'm gonna go to bed.

Goodnight.

Bye.

What am I doing here?

You're mad.

It's a smoke signal.

Someone she knows will see it.

I'm glad you didn't put my number up there.

Hello?

Hello.

Hi, yes?

Yeah, my niece has eyes like

the picture board, cash reward.

Are they just like

the ones in the picture?

Yes, I think so.

Like exactly?

Uh, very much so.
