It's okay.

Take it out.

T-take what out?

You'll know when you find it.

Ahh.

Now you're free.

Hello, John. Nice

to finally meet.

Please tilt your head

and open your mouth.

You're just a baby.

You couldn't be more

than three weeks old.

Are you feeling any discomfort?

Yes.

Where?

In my head.

Your resistance...

That's what gives

you discomfort.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Can you release it?

Why not?

What do you remember?

My wife.

Anything else?

My daughter.

What happened to them?

He killed them.

Who killed them?

Him.

You never had a family, John.

Your memories are artificial.

You were produce din

a government lab

where I used to work.

Created to kill,

motivated by a memory implant

that I developed

that stimulates the

sensation of free will.

They created the memory

of your wife and daughter.

They never really existed.

You're a newborn...

Born a grown man.

Your memories, John,

they give you pain.

But I can release you from them.

I can release you

from your pain.

Would you like to

be free from pain?

Yes.

The one before you was

gonna bring the container.

The container holds the

missing pieces, John.

So we can finish this lab.

So we can replicate

just like everyone else.

You're doing great, John.

Daddy, it's raining.

I got it.

Come on.

I want a story.

Right here.

How'd it get so deep?

Hello, soldier.

That's the spirit soldier.

Ahhhh!

You still believe the lies?

You don't realize

this is your home?

You killed them.

If you believe I did...

Then I did.

You're only killing

your own father.

There is no end.

Always another John.

How did you know I'd find him?

You always find each other.

You're like dogs that way.

You know, I suppose I

should be grateful, but...

I can't help but feel proud.

How's that?

Because we were right this time.

Your memories triggered

emotional responses

that made you resistant.

You acted on your own

behest, not ours.

You were designed with

selfish motivations...

Loyalty to family, not country.

The John that came before you?

Sent on the same exact mission.

And he came the closest,

but he disappeared.

We made the necessary

adjustments,

knowing that you'd pick

upright where he left off.

You know where he is?

Mm mm. We'll find him though.

We always do.

What about me?

We'll take you in,

erase some memories

and then you'll be...

Then you'll be free.

Truly free.

You seem disappointed.

Come on, I know you, John,

like a father knows his child.

You might not know meas

well as you think.

I know that if you

didn't stop them,

they would've reproduced by now.

Once that door is open...

That's how much you mean to me...

Everybody.

So you created me

to find the one who

killed my family

and put them to death.

That is correct.

You killed my family.

See? That's what makes

you so special.

You feel so intensely.

You killed my family.

No no, quite the contrary.

I created them...

For you. I created them

to fill your void.

And then you killed them.

I didn't kill them, John.

Luc deveraux did.

Maybe.

But you put him up to it.
