the other will be

forced into existence.

An extension of...

The lovely Schrodinger.

You understand?

Your deductive equation, please.

I'm working on it.

Miss Day, your proof?

You'll get it when I'm finished.

Secrets shared,

Mr. Freeman.

You could be trusted.

What is that?

We gave you authorized access.

Oh, f***, is that military?

A research base in Nevada.

Check it out.

Using electrodes in

the transmitter gel,

they've connected this guy's brain

activity to another guy in San Jose.

Three,

two,

one.

Fire.

He had no choice but to fire.

His finger was under the control

of another man's brain.

All that we have done,

every advantage afforded you.

There have been experiments.

Promising results.

A human specimen procured.

Which makes me what?

Your rat?

No, no, no.

Our rat.

Connection established.

And we are in.

You know what to do.

Feel yourself moving.

Think of it.

Picture it.

Two years of work

and no results.

We grow impatient.

Hey.

What's the deal?

She'll never get through.

Her blood tox will register.

Mass security.

And the question is, why? I've never

seen this before, not at this level.

Whatever they've brought

us here for, it's big.

Full biometrics.

She'll be fine.

Attention, all students.

Please keep the way clear.

We ask for your patience.

Who is that?

The Force is f***ed in that one.

This was a turning

point in his research.

Some would say the birth

of modern neuroscience.

By implanting an electrode

into the brain,

he proved how

every basic emotion

could be stimulated

upon command.

From aggression

to instant calm.

By the late '90s,

his work progressed

into neural-digital

interfacing.

Primates were taught

within hours to operate

artificial limbs

through thought alone.

And then

began his groundbreaking work

into neuron manipulation.

Victims of severe brain damage had

many basic functions restored.

Their only sacrifice?

A loss of free will.

For this work, came criticism.

His ethics questioned.

Accusations you will

all experience.

Do we improve the mind?

Or do we violate the soul?

In the face of opposition,

in the pursuit of progress,

he labored on until fate

cruelly intervened.

And spirit alone bore him on.

His resolve made ever stronger to

build this house of determinism.

Dominatio ad Menta.

Mastery of the mind.

His vision, his cause.

Please join me now in welcoming

Professor Gabriel Kreutz.

To see you gathered here,

the best and the brightest set

upon this great scientific journey

to understand the human mind.

You cannot imagine

the pride I feel.

You cannot know my elation,

and that, in itself,

is surely intolerable.

We should know every impulse

of each other's minds.

You should have within

your grasp

the ability to measure

my every thought.

Progress demands it,

evolution expects it.

It's okay.

The human brain is the most complex

device in the known universe.

Eighty billion neural columns housed

within the arc of our skulls.

But here's the thing.

There is no binary computer powerful

enough to process all that data.

To truly comprehend

that which comprehends,

that is the human mind,

we need, as they say,

a bigger boat.

And so I give you...

En.o.Ch.

The first device in

the world to operate

upon entangled neutrino charms.

Dear Lord.

- It's quantum.

- En.o.Ch!

I delight in this acronym.

For it is written that God

rewarded an obedient Enoch

by removing his mind

from his flesh

so that he might live

infinitely and everywhere.

Appearances aside, I am not God.

But I am looking among you

for one group,

one individual above all,

who is capable of dedicating

En.o.Ch to their work alone.

All of you have that potential.

Realize that potential!

One moment, please!

I have a question.

Feel free.

I do.

Sol must ask,

who will benefit from

the creation of En.o.Ch?

Everyone.

Everyone you deem a genius.

Everyone who shares

your ambition.

Since you know your Bible,

might I remind you

of a basic Christian tenet?

The rich man must share

what he has with the poor.

Shouldn't the same apply to the

sharing of intellectual wealth?

Whatever new reality

En.o.Ch might reveal,

it is one in

which we all belong.

But I don't think

you will allow this.

You will choose.

You have chosen.

Your motives are compromised and

your intentions egocentric.

And you...

Wake up.

She doesn't fall.

You saved her.

Hey, are you okay?

Mmm-hmm.

Hey, baby girl.

Wow...

You promise me you'll

cut down, go easy.

I'll cut right down.

I'll go real easy.

Pink or blue.

You choose.

Get him out.

Yeah.

Not now.

Mr. Freeman!

Good evening.

Good evening.

Good evening.

A summons from the Master.

You'll need to change.

Got a phone box?

Uh... Nipple rings.

Thorn in your side.

Body art not for you then.

Quite right.

Even I wouldn't pierce

an a**hole.

Nice suit, Jaxon!

Nice suit, Jaxon!

Evening.

This is f***ing crazy!

I don't even know

what I'm doing here!

Unlicensed

animal experimentation.

The rat? You're talking

about the f***ing rat?

You severed its spine.

I had to!

People like you,

you'll never understand.

I have the cure

for spinal injury.

So, a paralyzed leg still

has functioning muscles.

It's only the fibers carrying the

nerve signal that are damaged.

So the leg would move again if

we could bypass those fibers,

create a wireless neural

network, which we can.

If we control the process, we could

effect a new kind of connectivity.

One mind to another.

One body to another.

Wait!

Holy sh*t.

Holy sh*t.

It's scientific journey.

A gravitational field.

So it's volatile.

But if it was stable, we...

Deux Ex Machina.

God from the machine.

I served God once, you know.

When it served my purpose.

Ambition makes whores of

us all, don't you find?

And then,

this punishment,

this cruel vengeance.

It's enough to make you

believe that He exists.

I'm sorry, am I boring you?

No.

Oh, good.

God forbid.

Your companions, each one

with a particular skill,

so willing to share.

And none of them suspecting that the

dream they serve is yours alone.

You're wrong.

I'm all kinds of wrong,

Mr. Freeman.

Look at me!

Come here.

You know, when I look at you,

I see so much of myself.

And that is why I have faith

in you, faith in your work.

I believe that you can

make these wrongs right.

So, here's the deal.

I get my body restored,

and you,

you get what you always wanted.

I give you En.o.Ch.

The mind is the dominion of God.

None but he can lift it

from the flesh.

But now, technology is

catching up with the prophecy.

If you don't believe in

prophecy, that is your right,

but might! quote

Revelation 13:
16.

And the beast shall cause

all, both rich and poor,

"to bear his mark

upon their head.

Now, these bio tags.

We see them everywhere, behind

every ear, fusing with the skin,

leaving a mark.

How can we pursue

the study of cybernetic ethics

when that same technology
