Life Tracker Page #9

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

the chosens?

I know that Los Angeles

has over 200.

Do you know out of how many?

No, do you?

Over 780,000.

Questions?

Sir.

General, the story

seems to be growing fast.

Is there anything specific

we should be fearful of?

Now, the media is going to

make a big deal out of this

and I am sure

that our biggest safety concern

is going to be

the amount of people

that are descending

upon belfast.

Now, hopefully that plague

will put money

into the local economy.

To see something good

come out of this.

General?

Sir?

Yes?

I heard that you were

interested in meeting with ltl

to discuss [Indistinct]?

I have never said that.

I have always believed that

the ltl technology was a joke

and that Mr. Richard 'rocko'

hutchensen is a fake.

And we will have our proof

on the morning of

September 23, 2014.

Next question.

Has rocko been charged

with any crimes?

Yes, he is currently,

he is currently facing

charges of incitement

among other things.

[Indistinct]?

Yes, there is a charge

of terrorism,

but I am currently

not at liberty

to speak about that.

One last question,

please.

Should people

continue to buy the prints?

Absolutely not.

We do not want to put money

in the coffers

of life tracker limited.

Buying prints

and paying readers,

it's only adding fuel

to the fire.

Dillon, I was surprised

to get your call.

Do you mind the camera?

I suppose not.

I mean unless

it becomes incriminating.

You know you can get

your death date online, right?

I know, but it's for the movie

and it's more

visually stimulating

if I get my information

from my reader.

I charge a little more.

I understand.

I have the money.

Well, come on in.

1-0-0-4-5-2.

Let's see.

Now, this information

is fully accurate

no matter what my rating is.

However, I'm sure yours

will be just like mine.

June 8th, 2015.

I've been hearing that date

a lot lately.

Yeah, you believe it?

Well, the stuff in my print

is definitely not true.

No offense.

None taken.

But there's also evidence

worldwide that seems

that shouldn't be ignored.

True.

What do you think?

Well, don't you think

I'm a little biased?

I do currently make my living

based on this technology.

I realize.

Well, I'd say I'm about 64%

convinced it's not a joke.

Those aren't very good odds

for the people in belfast.

But good odds for you.

January 4th, 2060.

Man, you're going to live

a long life, Mr. Smith.

and it looks like

you are number 287

in Los Angeles county.

Just over 81,000 worldwide.

Huh, I guess the question now

is do you believe?

But what if I had been

some schmuck off the street?

The Attorney General

would have buried me.

That's what.

Mr. hutchensen,

I'm going to have

to end the interview

if you keep

using that language.

Censorship,

there's another place

the government should keep

its (Censored) Away from.

Sorry, penis.

Listen, I represent the people,

the people all around

this country that are

trying to make something

of themselves.

The only difference is

I'm not a pathetic failure.

Should not be allowed

to dictate what

the private sector offers

the American people.

That's communism.

So, anything anyone wants

they should be allowed to have?

What about drugs?

Weapons?

Don't try to paint me

into a corner.

I understand the government

protecting us

from drugs and guns.

The government

needs to step in

when we start slipping roofies

to pubescent boys

and shooting up our schools

and workplaces.

But how's the service I'm

offering going to hurt anyone?

It will change what people do

and how they think,

how they act.

Are you an idiot?

Checking the weather report

before going on vacation

changes what people do

and how they act.

The president is attacking me

and my legal business

personally.

He has all the money

in the U.S. treasury

to prevent me

from releasing a product

in a free market

capitalist system.

Is that fair?

It's been a matter of weeks

since you released

the death dates

and ltl's prints are telling

99.9% of the people

who have taken the test

that they're going to die

on June 8, 2015.

Your point?

Well, my point,

my point is don't you think

that's a bit far-fetched?

A bit drastic?

Well, that's two questions.

Far-fetched?

No.

Was it too far-fetched

to believe at one point

in our world's history

that 25% of the population died

because of fleas on rats?

(Censored) Happens.

What about the claim

that this is one big

publicity stunt?

I think it's a brilliant way

to fight me.

Bravo, team usa.

So, it's a stunt?

I heard that your print

said you were going

to grow a brain tumor.

How's that working for you?

This interview

is not about me.

So, it's true?

What was it that I heard?

Four months?

Four months, wasn't it?

I heard that you had

four months to live.

I'd prefer

if we stayed on topic.

Mary mother of Christ.

So, your print

was right on the money

and you're trying

to convince your viewers

that it's unreliable?

Are you serious?

Mr. hutchensen.

You irresponsible stupid

(censored).

Thank you, Mr. hutchensen.

It's been a pleasure

having you.

Okay, so,

things have gotten

just a tid bit crazy

in the last few weeks.

So far 890 million people

worldwide have gotten

their death dates predicted.

Out of those just under

2 million are predicted

to live past doomsday.

That's one in every 450 people.

I mean I don't even think

I know 450 people.

And that means that out of

the approximately 11 million

people that live in the

greater Los Angeles area,

only 25,000 will be left.

Some are calling it nature's

answer to over population

and everyone from scientists

to bums on the street

are predicting

how it's going to happen.

Theories range

from simultaneous

worldwide natural disasters

to what christians

call the rapture.

And some are even taking things

into their own hands

and there have been

a number of cult-ish,

Jim Jones,

drink the purple kool-aid

mass suicides.

I mean it's crazy.

And chosens, that's what

they're calling us,

chosens are having

support groups, meetings,

gatherings

to try and figure out

what it is

that we have in common.

You know what it is

that makes us--

did you think

I wouldn't find out?

Stop it.

Stop.

Why didn't you tell me?

Oh, I'm sorry.

Are you too good to talk to me

now that you're Mr. chosen?

Okay, because after

I found out

how special you were,

I went and got

bell's death date.

Are going to have long,

happy lives together,

does that make you happy?

Are you...?

I bet you pray

this is all true.

You're just antsy

to have her all to yourself.

Scott.

How you feel about her.

Stop.

It's not like

you hide it well.

You're really not going

to say anything?

Scott, stop it.

Son of a b*tch!

You know how I know

this is all fake?

Because I can [Indistinct].

Scott, get off of him!

Get off.

Scott!

How does it feel

to be chosen now, Dillon?

How does it feel?

Scott!

Get off of him!
