I'm trying to have

a quiet dinner with my family.

(woman humming)

I'm the only family you have.

You selfish prick.

Look around.

Look where we are.

Innocent lives hang

in the balance

and we're here.

(knocking on door)

(kid shouting

in foreign language)

(speaking in foreign language)

He's here.

(knocking on door)

Who's here?

(woman gasps, laughs)

Hale?

Hale, who is it?

(speaking in foreign language)

- (glass breaking)

- (fire alarm blaring)

Get out!

(people screaming)

Get out!

(speaking in foreign language)

(people screaming)

My best friend!

She's still in there.

Go, I'll get her.

- (phone ringing)

- (bombs exploding)

(coughing)

(gasps)

You f***er!

You...

We gotta move, come on.

Where's Z?

Where's Z?

Where is she?

She went to the Unicorn.

- She's gone.

- What? Why?

Z!

She tried to stop

the last bomb. We gotta go.

Z!

(grunting)

Get off me!

(sirens blaring)

(tires screeching)

Hey!

(grunting)

Come on! Let's move it!

(whistling)

(cell door clanking)

(lighter flicks)

- (tape rips)

- (groans)

(groans)

Where the hell am I?

What happened?

(laughs)

What happened.

Uh, nothing happened.

Okay, that is a lie.

That's strike one.

Three strikes.

And I'll put a bullet

in your head.

Lawyer.

You can have a cigarette.

I know my rights!

I want a bloody lawyer!

I got three dead bodies.

Two missing people.

That's a mess, Theo.

That's a mess,

that's a real mess.

Now you can scream and kick,

you can sh*t yourself

for all I care.

(coughing)

But you're not leaving here

with a pulse

unless you answer my questions.

What happened?

Doc died.

- What was Doc hiding?

- F*** if I know.

Strike two.

Watch the tone.

I've told you

everything I know.

Z. She saved all those people

and you had to kill her too.

(sobs quietly)

- Where is Hale?

- Where is Hale?

How the hell would I know!

I don't know!

I don't know!

I don't know!

Theo!

It's okay. Take it easy.

Just give it to us.

Just give us

the cloud algorithm

and we'll all be copacetic.

I don't have it.

But if I did,

I'd sooner die than give it

to you bastards.

That's strike three.

(gun clicks)

But I'm feeling generous

so I'm gonna give you

a five count.

Do it!

Do it!

Five.

(inhales deeply)

Four.

Three.

Two.

[Nev on speakers]

That's enough, thank you.

Yes sir, Mr. Mason.

What are you doing?

(chuckles)

I was getting into that.

What's happening?

You passed.

You're not the CIA.

Hell, no.

Nev Mason has a proposition

for you.

[Mary]

The alpha test?

Within a month.

We'll start with

the initial upload tests.

[Mary]

How's Theo?

[Caden]

He's underground.

It's a process.

[Mary]

And the algorithm?

Did he get it?

[Caden] Doc never managed

to erase it from his memory.

It was there the whole time.

[Mary]

And Z's avatar?

Have you seen it?

[Jude]

Yes.

[Caden] He created

something incredible.

Test 367.

Olfactory authenticity.

This is it.

This is it.

(exhales forcefully)

(machine beeping)

[electronic voice]

Connected.

You forgot your shoes.

You haven't changed.

[Mary]

When can I see Doc?

[Jude]

Doc's avatar is ready.

Good.

That's good.

My favorite quote is by

a German physicist,

Max Planck.

And he said,

"science advances

one funeral at the time."

[Theo]

Isn't that the truth?

[Doc]

Isn't that the truth?

(mumbling)

This is the...

We're taking the red eye.

Tonight.

Theo has seen the space.

[woman]

As you can see, we got lots...

[Caden] Mr. Mason is

almost ready to launch.

Here's the

bathroom downstairs.

That would be perfect

for a little office space.

[Mary]

What about the name?

Has he chosen one?

[Caden]

Yes, he has.

[Mary]

What about Hale?

[Caden] He went dark.

(sighs)

Find him.

We need to shut him down.

(electronic music playing)

[electronic voice]

Connected.

(breathing deeply)

(techno music playing)

(chorus humming)
