Let's Be Evil

Hello, trouble.

Don't you sneak up on me

like that.

- The past

can define our future.

But I won't let it.

- Okay, so you really think

that our education system is

failing the current generation?

- It's like the first World War.

A whole generation,

full of promise, wiped out.

Except this time we're doing it

through terrible education.

We are commodities

in a global market.

The world isn't ruled

by politicians

presidents or elected officials.

Can you tell me where our next

innovators are coming from?

Where is the grounding for our

new leaders of commerce?

We are going to create a new

generation of obese kids.

No future. No hope.

We need to generate

our own super thinkers

before the likes

of China and India

move so far ahead of us

we never catch up.

Things have to change.

We are creating uneducated

unmoralled monsters

who bleed this country dry.

Steps are being taken.

- Hello?

- Hello, this is the facility calling.

- Oh, yeah. Hi, um,

I will be leaving now.

I still can't believe I've been

accepted, I'm so grateful.

- Remember you've signed

a confidentiality clause.

We take security very seriously.

- Yeah, of course,

ab... absolutely.

I... I don't know

who I'd tell anyway.

- I see here

your doctor has provided us

with your psychological

evaluation

and all requested vitals.

- Oh, yeah, uh,

I was, I was wondering...

- You want to ask?

- Oh, I... I didn't wanna

appear rude.

- We log your prints and vitals

into the system

so you can access the facility.

I'm sure you'll understand

that we have to ensure

that strangers

just can't walk in.

- Of course,

that makes perfect sense.

- We look forward

to meeting you.

- Hello?

I am leaving now, Nina.

Um... are you sure

you have everything?

Uh, oh, Dr. Zauh

will be here on Monday.

- At 3 o'clock. I know.

It's on the calendar.

And on the wall.

Jenny..

She'll be fine. Stop worrying.

Go and have fun, and remember

I'm gonna be here 24/7.

- Thank you, Nina.

Yeah, if, um..

If I go back in there now,

I'm never gonna leave, so..

Love you, mom.

- Sub-level 1. Sub-level 2.

- Sub-level 3.

- How may we help you?

- Hi, could you tell me

which floor

the Posterity Project is on?

- You must have

the wrong address.

- Oh, I see, it's just, um...

- No Posterity Project here.

- Authorized.

- What the hell?

- Yeah, uh, I lived there

my whole life

My ex, Cathy...

- Awesome, yeah.

- I know where it is.

I drove through there

with a girlfriend.

- Girlfriend?

- Yes.

My friend who is a girl.

- I kinda just.. I guess I just

walked into it, really.

- Speaking of just walking in

who do we have here then?

- Um, I'm Jenny.

- Are you sure?

- Oh, yeah. Definitely Jenny.

- I think we're going to have

to watch this one, Jenny.

It's Darby, right?

- Yeah, Darby.

You know Darby is the oldest

recorded surname.

It dates back to, like, 1160.

- But Darby is your first name,

right?

- Yeah, just a bit of history

to break the ice.

- Okay. Well, now fact guy

has introduced himself..

I'm Antigone.

The only real fact I have about

my name is that I don't like it.

- So call me Tiggs.

- Nice to meet you, Tiggs.

Um, nice to meet you, Darby.

- Yeah, it's, uh,

a little dramatic

this whole...

underground situation.

- It's just secure, that's all.

Makes me feel safe and kind of

important, actually.

Which is nice, right, Jenny?

- Welcome to the facility.

Please take a seat.

Congratulations

on your selection

to the Posterity Project.

You are here to act as

chaperones to the candidates.

A group selected

for intelligence trials

using augmented

reality technology.

The time to save

our country's future is now.

- Wow, that was nice.

I can't wait to get started

and to save the world.

Can we just..

Can you remind me

wha... what are we... doing here?

- Always follow

instructed protocol.

Do not disturb the candidates.

Do not attempt to exit the

facility unless authorized.

If you break protocol

you will be

immediately removed

from the project

and will not receive payment.

- Oh, great!

- You will have a personal guide

during your time

in the facility.

- Woah, woah, woah.

- I feel like Geordi La Forge.

"Star Trek."

Really?

- Hello, Jenny, Darby, Tiggs.

- I am Arial.

Augmented Reality Information

Advanced Learning.

Here to help,

nurture and advise.

Throughout the duration

of your stay

I shall be your guide

here in the facility.

Please, don't be startled.

The glasses' recognition

software is initializing.

The technology in the glasses

allows them to access

and interact

with their surroundings.

- Wait, see if it can tell us

where I got this bag from

and how many thousands

of dollars I paid for it.

- Arial?

- No problem.

Object, woman's bag,

faux designer.

Woman's jacket, fake leather,

also faux designer.

- Oh, okay,

that is the first time

anyone has ever

guessed it was a fake.

Seriously.

Nice work, Arial. Nice work.

Just don't point that thing

at my hair.

- Touch the side of your glasses

to view a map of the facility.

I will now guide you to the

highlighted area on the map.

- Come on, everyone, follow me.

- Hey, I think

I'm gonna keep these on.

- What was that, Jen?

- The glasses.

I just took them off and I

literally couldn't see a thing.

- Holy sh*t!

Ha-ha. Woah! Are we in a cave?

- That is... weird.

- The candidates are provided

with a monitored diet

based on their

nutritional requirements.

This ensures optimum performance

in neurological development.

- That's horrendous.

- It's nourishment that counts,

not taste.

- Well, I often like a healthy

serving of cat food

on a Friday night

instead of Chinese.

- Let's keep moving, everyone.

The candidates

don't really speak.

They don't need to.

They communicate like a unit.

We encourage them to indulge

only in the necessary

and not the pointless.

Welcome to the Learning Space.

- The candidates,

they're children.

- Okay, this is..

- So strange.

- Yeah.

- Darby, please do not get

too close to the candidates.

Darby, I really don't want

to ask you again.

- Well, uh, awkward.

- You are now entering

the playroom.

- Wow. This is so cool.

- Oh..

He looks like

he's enjoying himself.

- Cozy.

- That's better. Mm.

- Wow.

Yeah, I thought,

I thought you were cool..

Nearly until that moment.

- Thought I'd just try and

brighten the place up a little.

- I knew you were an artist.

Yep, artist hands.

You're gonna have to work

that magic in my room.

- A lovely touch, Jenny.

Please place your hand

on the circle.

Unpack, relax and settle in.

- Thanks.

Cozy.

- Tiggs, Darby, please allow me

to show you to your rooms.

- See you later, Jen.

- See ya.

- Arial, who do I speak to

about getting an extra pillow?

- I will look into it, Darby.

Your door is the first

on your left.

Please turn around, you have

walked past your room.

- I can't believe I'm taking

orders from a computer.

- Hello, Jenny.

- Oh, Arial. Hi.
