Transcendence Page #5

What's left of him is

no longer in pain.

What did you...? What

did you do to him?

We gave him back his humanity.

- What did you do?

- Take it easy.

Get off me. Just get off me.

He trusted you. I trusted you.

- We're just trying to help.

- No. You attacked us.

Evelyn...

let me show you something.

It's rainwater.

It's in the rain.

Keep watching.

Everywhere it can, it

builds copies of itself.

Particles join the air currents, which carry

them all over the surface of the planet.

It's in the sky. It's in the land.

In the water.

It's everywhere.

By next summer, we think the machine

could have encased the entire planet.

Why?

The end of primitive organic life.

And the dawn of a

more advanced age.

Everything would exist just

to serve its intelligence.

No. Will wouldn't do that.

No. He wouldn't.

When did Will ever wanna

change the world?

You were the one who wanted

to change the world.

That thing...

It's not Will.

Never was.

You never believed.

You never believed that

there was anything more.

Any part of his soul.

I spent my life trying to reduce the brain

to a series of electrical impulses.

I failed.

Human emotion...

It can contain illogical conflict.

Can love someone...

and yet hate the things

that they've done.

Machine can't reconcile that.

- Can you?

- Yes.

Does the virus work?

Once it executes, it'll wipe out

anything with the machine's code on it.

You do realize this affects every

computer connected to the Internet.

So the power grids, the

banks, the stock markets.

Everything goes dark.

Welcome. Glad you're here.

I think the real problem is how we

get past the machine's defenses.

Why don't we take

out the solar field?

Deprive it of its power and

possibly slow it down.

I don't know. I don't see

how that's gonna work.

He wants to upload me

to him... Its consciousness.

Absolutely not.

We inject the infected

virus into my system...

and then I go back and

let him upload me.

There's a chance it won't

detect it until it's too late.

As soon as the nanites

enter her bloodstream,

they'll start to alter her cells. So

when the virus takes out the machine...

it could kill her too.

I know.

I'm the only one he trusts.

Hustle up.

You gotta go.

What is that?

Is that him?

Oh, my God.

I don't know what it's done,

but it's not him. It can't be.

I found a way back.

- They're going to attack us.

- I know. You need to leave.

No. I'm not leaving you again.

It's not safe here, Evelyn.

You can protect me.

If you upload me...

you can protect me.

Your heart is palpitating.

You're perspiring.

You're terrified of me.

No, I'm afraid that

we'll lose this chance.

This isn't working. He's

not letting her inside.

It's 'cause the machine

doesn't actually love her.

That's all we need.

We're ready to move.

Wait a second. You can't do

that. She's still out there.

The more danger she's in, the more chance

he'll protect her by uploading her.

Joseph.

She agreed to this.

Not to this, she didn't. This was

not the plan. Give her a chance.

I'm sorry, Max.

Fire.

Will, please upload me.

Why did you lose faith, Evelyn?

Why didn't you believe in me?

Fire.

Will!

Fire.

Will!

She's hit.

Fire.

Hey.

She's been hit bad. He's

taken her underground.

People fear what they

don't understand.

You want to destroy me?

No, Will, please.

You're destroying them.

No.

I'm trying to save them.

Run.

Joseph, it's okay.

Nobody's gonna get hurt.

Will?

Stop!

Upload the virus now.

He doesn't care if you kill me.

He can't. He's not able to.

Upload the virus.

What is she doing?

She's threatening to kill him.

People fear what they

don't understand.

I can heal her body, Max.

Or I can upload the virus, but

there's not enough time for both.

There's not enough power.

No, Will, please.

Please, listen to me, Will.

He can't die because

of what we've done.

I can see everything.

Look at the sky.

The clouds.

We're healing the

ecosystem, not harming it.

Particles join the air currents...

building themselves

out of pollutants.

Forests can be regrown.

Water so pure you can

drink out of any river.

This is your dream.

Not merely to cure disease,

but to heal the planet.

And build a better

future for all of us.

That's it.

The virus.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

He didn't kill anyone.

Will...

It is you.

Always was.

I'm sorry I didn't believe.

Think about the garden.

Think about our sanctuary.

I'll never let you go.

The virus took out everything.

A worldwide blackout,

just as they'd said.

But I knew there

was something more.

There had to be.

He created this garden for the

same reason he did everything.

So that they could be together.
