Singularity Page #3

Synopsis: In 2020, Elias van Dorne (John Cusack), CEO of VA Industries, the world's largest robotics company, introduces his most powerful invention--Kronos, a super computer designed to end all wars. When Kronos goes online, it quickly determines that mankind, itself, is the biggest threat to world peace and launches a worldwide robot attack to rid the world of the "infection" of man. Ninety-seven years later, a small band of humans remain alive but on the run from the robot army. A teenage boy, Andrew (Julian Schaffner) and a teenage girl, Calia (Jeannine Wacker), form an unlikely alliance to reach a new world, where it is rumored mankind exists without fear of robot persecution. But does this world actually exist? And will they live long enough to find out?

I prayed I'd never meet one.

Little did I know,

I already had.

What is that?

What?

Your chest! What is in your

chest?

Don't move! What are you?

I don't know--

no, shut up! I don't want

to hear it!

You've been lying to me

this whole time.

You're unbelievably strong.

You don't feel anything.

But you can pretend to.

I'm not pretending.

You are the most dangerous thing

that has ever existed.

I'm leaving.

No, calia, please! Wait!

I do feel.

I felt your arm wrapped

around me each morning.

I didn't want to say anything...

Because I didn't want you

to stop.

Look, I don't know what

happened...

But I know what I feel

is real.

If you really do feel...

Then you have to let me go.

It's time. Prepare to retrieve

the subject.

I know your face.

No, you have not seen my face...

Although I'm certain...

You're convinced that you

have seen my face.

Who are you? What happened

to me?

And why can't I move?

This is your brain, the brain

we gave you...

Just like we gave you your new

chest, your arms, your legs...

Just like we gave you

your life...

For the lack of a better word.

My life? What are you saying?

I'm afraid that engaging in a

philosophical discussion...

With a being such as yourself,

would accomplish very little.

Despite all of your

inefficiencies...

You are quite a peculiar

subject.

You have such a strong emotional

attachment to memories...

That don't belong to you.

These are my memories.

These are the memories of Andrew

Davis. You are not Andrew Davis.

Of course, you think you are,

but you are not.

Then who am I?

That is not the most appropriate

question to be asking.

What am I?

You are machine, the only one

of your kind...

The beginning of something new.

You have been with her

long enough...

To have calculated Aurora's

location.

It must be in your code,

a code that I require.

The complication is that the

code seems very elusive...

As if it had a mind of its own.

I need you to show me

where to find it.

I don't know what you're

talking about.

Perhaps not.

Your mind does seem to act

involuntarily to your will.

In that respect, you are very

much human.

But that's no matter.

The mind can be convinced

to betray the body.

Calia!

Please, no!

You will now go on a little

journey for me.

During which you will find

what I desire.

If you fail, she dies.

Don't hurt her. I really don't

know what you're talking about.

You don't need to know.

All I need is for your mind

to unveil itself.

Andrew!

Mom?

Hello, Andrew.

I'm not Andrew any more.

Of course, you are.

You're my little boy,

don't you remember?

I remember that I couldn't be

there for you.

Hey, look at me.

You were every beam of sunshine

that ever lit up my life.

I have always believed in you,

and I always will.

How can I believe in myself...

When I couldn't save the person

i care about the most?

Now you're gone and this

is just in my head.

I may be gone...

But reality is just perception.

Your thoughts are what bring

my spirit into existence.

I'm here because of you.

Then why am I here?

You tell me... you're the one

that brought me here.

The code. I need to know

where the code is.

This was your favorite spot

as a child. Remember?

Mom, now you have to listen

to me. Look--

we used to come here every

Sunday.

You and your father used to play

together right over there.

You were so happy then,

not a care in the world.

Do you know where I could

find the code?

No, 'cause there is no code.

There never has been one.

What?

It's not a code that makes you

what you are, Andrew.

You are not what that man

says you are.

You... you are my son.

I don't understand. I don't

understand anything.

No one understands it, Andrew.

No one ever really will.

What you need to know is that

you are in control.

Whatever it is that makes you

what you are...

Belongs to you, and only you.

I've seen enough.

Perhaps I've been going

at this the wrong way.

That which can't be found,

can be tempted.

What are you doing?

Andrew? Andrew, wake up,

wake up, wake up.

Wake up, wake up. Wake up.

Oh, my god, can you get up?

Let's go.

Andrew, what-- what are you--

what happened?

It doesn't matter... you're

okay.

How is this possible?

Automated voice

commencing neural med shutdown.

We have to get out of here.

Automated voice

commencing neural med shutdown.

Automated voice

commencing neural med shutdown.

Andrew, this way!

Andrew!

You are under arrest.

Calia.

Calia I had asked him

to let me go, and he did.

Now he had saved my life.

The machines were changing.

You created him with an

adaptive algorithm.

This was the risk.

Yes, his code continues

to evolve.

Won't he be too dangerous

to control?

He only need lead us to Aurora.

Are you okay?

No, I can't. I can't let that

happen again.

It wasn't you.

What happened back there

was not your fault.

I trust you.

You really didn't have to carry

me all the way.

Thank you.

They took it.

They took what?

The map... without the map,

Aurora is unreachable.

Andrew, I'm-- I'm so sorry

for leaving you.

I know now that you are pure...

And right.

I don't care if you're

a machine.

Thank you.

I forgot how beautiful

the world can be.

Look!

Those lights, they're not

coming from the sky.

What do you think it is?

It looks like it could be

a city... Aurora.

Calia the existence

of Andrew made our dreams...

Of the future not only

possible, but desirable.

If we could only get

to Aurora...

Perhaps this future could

become real.

We're here.

Hey! Hello?

Open the gates! We're here!

Hello?

We're here.

Hello?

No, no, no, no.

Hey!

You disappoint me, brother.

We can still achieve our

objective.

This is not Aurora.

Calia?

Those lights we saw last night,

they weren't from Aurora...

They were from one

of their cities.

They must be all dead.

All the stories I heard from

everyone who survived,

none of it was true.

My dad was wrong.

There never was an Aurora.

Aurora isn't real.

Bravo. Bravo. It's very

touching.

Finally you have figured it out.

It's a pity it had to come

to this...

But reality can be so...

Inhuman.

Aurora is just a legend,

a fairy tale.

You're a monster.

No, the monster is standing

right next to you.

Don't you find it strange

the way you discovered him?

Wandering around a recently

destroyed city?

We placed him with you... to

interact with a human being...

So that his central program

would learn...

To write its own code.

He's been playing you

this whole time.

You don't have to die

here today.

I will let you live... but the

robot belongs to me.

You seem to have lost an

important human trait...

Intuition.

Humans, so predictable,

so naive, so worthless.

You disappoint me, my child.

You are so much more than a

human, but now you will die...

Like the rest of them.

What was that?

Kill her, and the

remaining humans.

We don't need them anymore.

They're bombing this entire
