Life Tracker Page #10

Synopsis: Dillon stumbles on a little known news story about a company called Life Tracker Limited, which claims it has discovered a way to predict biological events in a human's life by looking at their DNA. Everyone views the story as a modern day form of palm reading that will go nowhere, but Dillon keeps turning on his camera when he finds articles on the Internet or hears about it on the news. The story keeps getting bigger. People all over the world are paying tons of money to see if their DNA shows any trace of disease, or future children, or when they'll die. With little to no resources, Dillon is left to guerilla style street interviews and filming the reactions of his small group of friends. When Dillon, his best friend Scott, and Scott's girlfriend Bell all get their futures predicted their lives start to change... along with the world itself. Nothing is physically changed in any single person's day-to-day life, but the ideas that have been put in people's heads convince them to flip

[Water splashing]

Are you insane?

What is wrong with you?

What is wrong with both of you?

Headed to spokane.

Couldn't get through the

automated telephone system.

So, I'm just going to show up

and try and catch rocko

by surprise.

I figure what have I got

to lose?

And I mean I can't really make

a life tracker documentary

without trying to talk

to the man himself.

Wish me luck.

Okay, home sweet home.

Found this in the lobby.

So, I guess I am just

going to go wait

outside of his office building.

Rocko,

my name is Dillon Smith.

I'm making a documentary

about life tracker.

Mr. hutchensen

isn't interested.

I just want to ask you

a few questions.

Don't make me repeat myself.

Who are you?

I'm Dillon Smith.

Are you making a movie?

Why?

What's that going to do?

Does that prove something?

No, the only proof

is predictions coming true.

Sir, that is enough.

Put that camera away.

You want your proof?

Here it is.

My print will be

made public tomorrow

and because of it,

today will go down in history.

Now, leave me the hell alone.

Now, put the camera away.

You know something

that the world doesn't?

What does your print say,

rocko?

[Gunshots]

Get his gun.

Get his gun.

One shooter.

One shooter.

Get him.

I just wanted my family

to be left alone, but no.

You had to make

that goddamn prediction,

didn't you?

Huh?

About 20 minutes ago

I heard on the radio

that a group of chosens

were meeting at a house

in the valley

when a group

of apparently violent

demonstrators showed up.

I came out to grab my camera

and I found this.

The letters cbw

stand for chosen by who?

And the slashes represent

the number of chosens

that live in the building.

Me and bell.

If they looked us up.

Or if they saw this.

Dear Dillon Smith,

Anderson Cooper

is putting together

a round table discussion

of the recent verbal,

emotional,

and physical abuse of chosens.

We've attempted to call,

but our calls

have gone unanswered.

Have footage documenting

life tracker limited.

Anderson would love to talk

to you about being on the show.

Please call

at your earliest convenience.

This is why

I haven't answered their calls.

I was expecting

a little more than this.

I know it doesn't

look like much,

but I promise

it's everything we need.

Your footage of rocko's

death went viral pretty fast.

I'm still trying

to get over it.

Wrong place,

right time I guess.

So, should we start?

Absolutely.

I think most people

already know you

as a news correspondent,

but would you please

state your name

and point of view?

Sure.

My name is

Abigail Wesson-levitt

and I am an international

activist

for the pro choices cause.

Do you want some water?

Sorry, I'll be fine.

Your stance

is that it is better

to not know your future

before you live it?

Precisely.

I'm pro choices,

which is a movement

against print readings?

Because we believe

that your decisions...

Once tainted by predictions

are no longer

your own decisions.

I have my print

and I still make

my own decisions.

Do you?

You don't think that your

decisions are tainted by

information that you found

in your print?

My reader only had

a 64% accuracy rating.

I had your print re-read

by Mr. ranchaw here.

He has a rating of 92%.

Nobody has a rating of 92%.

Wait, where did you get

a copy of my print?

I also know you're a chosen.

Would you like to conduct

a little experiment?

We took the liberty

of asking some

very specific questions

to your print.

I'm not sure how comfortable

I am with this.

Well, it's your doc.

So, it's your decision,

but I can prove right now

that the future is changeable.

Okay, I'll play along.

We asked your print,

when was the last time

you had sex?

That's a bit personal,

don't you think?

Looking at specific hormones

a body produces

during intercourse,

your last ejaculation

was four days ago

and you're not scheduled

to do it again

for another two.

Excuse me?

We have 92% accuracy.

We compared it to my own print

and I haven't had...

I haven't been...

I haven't been active

in the two weeks

since we scheduled

this interview.

This is really weird.

I'm sorry.

I'm not comfortable

with this interview.

Wait.

No, no.

I'm getting to my point.

I promise.

It will only take a second.

If either of us

were to have intercourse today.

Now, then we've proven

the whole thing fallible.

Even at 92% accuracy.

I am sorry, Dillon.

This is weird for me too.

Crazy.

What does this prove?

This doesn't prove anything.

In a battle of science

I believe that human nature

wins every time.

Human nature

is the basis of science.

Okay.

You've proven your point.

Just...

No, no, no.

Okay, stop, stop.

If I stop now

then I will have proven

the opposite of my point.

I want to prove that you

can change what a print says.

And both of our prints say

that neither one of us

is supposed to have

intercourse today.

Human nature says that

you are a 30 something year old

straight male who hasn't had a

lot of experience with women.

It also says that if a woman,

almost any woman

who is willing

and determined to have sex

with you that there is

very little you can do

to fight off

what is a completely natural

and unpredictable event.

Seriously?

You don't have to do this.

Please.

You have no idea how hard it

was to get up the nerve.

Please.

Bell just called

and said she needed to talk.

She said she didn't want

to do it over the phone.

So, I told her to come down.

To actually use this

in the movie

and I feel guilty enough

about it already,

but I don't know

what she's going to say

and she sounded

desperately serious.

She's literally on her way over

right now.

So, I'm covering

the record light

with a piece of gaff tape.

I'm sorry, bell.

What's going on?

Is it Scott?

No.

It's me.

I'm just so confused.

About what?

There are things in my print

that change the entire plan

I had for my life.

I mean, what do you do

with that information?

Do you just hold onto it?

Or do you just accept it

and change?

What if I'm changing something

that I shouldn't have changed?

Bell, you just have to go on

living the life

you were already living.

Scott is pressuring me

to get pregnant.

Don't you want kids?

Yeah, but he doesn't.

He just wants to prove

his print is wrong.

Maybe, but he loves you too

and I'm sure you guys

were going

to have kids anyway.

And I mean wouldn't that do it?

Tangible proof

that this is all bs?

I don't want a baby as some

sort of science experiment.

Then wait.

I've always wanted kids

my whole life and now I don't?

Maybe I don't love Scott.

Yes, you do.

Okay, maybe I do,

but maybe, maybe

love doesn't matter as much

as we thought it did.

Maybe what matters most of all

is survival.

Dillon, maybe you and I

are meant to be together.

You don't think Scott

wants me dead enough?

What if the print is right?

It's not, okay?

I can't be with him anymore.
