I know.
Where is he?
Close your eyes.
Breathe deeply.
Clear your mind.
With each breath,
Let go of your thoughts.
Let go of your body.
- Feel only your heart.
Your mind is clear.
- There is only your heart.
Beating... and beating...
And beating.
And now...
let go of your heart.
What happened?
You fainted.
It's a good sign.
The right action
for the wrong reason
is still wrong.
The wrong action
for the right reason
is no more right.
You know that place
between thinking about something
I've been there.
It's where free will happens,
and...
It's in danger.
If you go now,
you will lose all
that you have gained.
Then such is my sacrifice.
Holy sh*t.
Not quite.
Just semi-holy.
You look ridiculous
with my haircut.
How's Jordan?
I've been carrying this around
for two weeks now,
just waiting for the timing
to be right.
Wow.
It's a little soon,
don't you think?
A lot's changed
since you've been gone.
I'm the head of the lab now,
just under Dr. Selph.
And me and Jordan, we're happy.
We're really happy,
so now I gotta be willing
to step up to the plate, right?
That's great, man.
So you gonna tell me
why you're here?
I want to go back to work.
Good luck with that!
Man, it was chaos when you
disappeared, a full-on manhunt.
They planted stories
in the news,
saying you'd done all sorts
of horrible things,
trying to get
people to turn you in.
They hate you.
They're going
to throw you in jail.
Or worse.
There has to be a way.
This is all I'm good at.
There's nothing else for me.
It has been slow as hell
since you left.
I mean, we could
definitely use you,
but I think
they're just as likely
to shoot you on sight
as to talk to you.
I'll take my chances.
Yeah.
Hello, David.
Long time.
Well, at least
they didn't shoot you.
Not yet.
I took a bus to New York.
Hacked into a couple
college student databases,
ran them through
facial recognition software
until I found a kid at NYU
that was a pretty close match.
I gave him 10 grand for his
passport, no questions asked.
Since then, I've been living
in a Buddhist temple,
trying to find
a new reason to live.
All over a broad?
I never took you
for the romantic type.
You never know what type you are
until you lose the thing
most important to you.
We need him.
He's the best BCI programmer
on the planet.
I don't trust him.
We'll be listening
to every thought
that goes through his head.
David!
David! Oh.
Can't believe you're back!
- He asked you.
- Yeah.
Isn't it amazing?
Congratulations.
What's he thinking?
I think there's something wrong
with my head link, sir.
What's happening?
There's almost no activity.
This can't be right.
Connection looks good.
Everything should be working.
Get out of the way.
Get out!
There's this background noise
that sounds
almost like a heartbeat, but all
"Breathe in and breathe out."
Jordan! Your head patch!
No!
This?
This is why you came back?
I had to do it.
There's no other way.
Ryan, listen to me.
The information in our brains,
it's too dangerous.
Open up a head link.
A one-way connection.
I want you to know
what I'm feeling.
How could you do this to me?
It's okay if you kill me.
It's the knowledge in both
of our heads that has to die.
You've taken everything from me.
I said
you've taken everything from me!
- She's not dead.
- She might as well be.
You really thought
you could undo all of it,
just like that?
We never meant
to create a weapon.
You're the one
using it as a weapon!
This was your big plan?
Come in here
and nuke all our brains?
Look at them.
What are you gonna tell
his parents?
"Sorry, your brilliant son
is a vegetable now,
but don't worry,
it was for the greater good"?
Is this the greater good?
Enter the command
for a feedback loop.
Don't hit Enter.
Back away.
You want to erase my brain?
Well, I want to blow yours out.
Draw on the count of three.
Freeze!
Put the gun down!
Well, here it is, Dave.
- Don't do this.
Put the gun down now,
or we'll shoot!
One...
two...
three!
