1
00:00:40,379 --> 00:00:43,257
Are we sure this can take you
all the way?
2
00:00:43,257 --> 00:00:44,508
We're sure.
3
00:00:44,508 --> 00:00:46,469
But if we're not back in an hour,
4
00:00:46,469 --> 00:00:49,138
take off, continue the fight.
5
00:00:51,015 --> 00:00:51,974
Continue the fight?
6
00:00:51,974 --> 00:00:54,769
Tony, if this doesn't work,
we're all dead.
7
00:00:54,769 --> 00:00:57,104
The data centers are talking
to each other again.
8
00:00:57,104 --> 00:00:59,482
The UIs are plotting
the revenge for Covilha.
9
00:00:59,482 --> 00:01:02,860
They're plotting their strategy
for peace talks.
10
00:01:04,403 --> 00:01:07,281
And it's a good thing
they're connected again.
11
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:12,077
Saves us the trouble
of killing one data center at a time.
12
00:01:18,626 --> 00:01:20,002
Looks tight up ahead.
13
00:01:20,002 --> 00:01:23,506
We'll have to crouch,
but there's room.
14
00:01:32,556 --> 00:01:34,016
Up ahead.
15
00:01:37,186 --> 00:01:38,604
Almost there.
16
00:01:40,231 --> 00:01:41,273
How do you know?
17
00:01:44,568 --> 00:01:47,822
I used to work here, back in the day.
18
00:01:47,822 --> 00:01:49,949
Basically ran the place.
19
00:01:49,949 --> 00:01:51,158
Oh, okay.
20
00:01:51,158 --> 00:01:56,413
In fact, I was pretty much in charge
of creating the first human uploads.
21
00:01:56,413 --> 00:01:59,792
All right. Sorry for asking.
Keep your secrets, sir.
22
00:02:01,627 --> 00:02:04,338
Being back sure brings memories.
23
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,843
We were creating the future.
We were gonna live forever.
24
00:02:10,177 --> 00:02:13,848
But all that ended
when I got arrested, right here.
25
00:02:13,848 --> 00:02:15,599
Course, I didn't know that then.
26
00:02:16,851 --> 00:02:19,436
No individual possessing
a felony conviction
27
00:02:19,436 --> 00:02:22,439
may be allowed
a UI registration number.
28
00:02:22,439 --> 00:02:24,108
Even if I went black market,
29
00:02:24,108 --> 00:02:27,069
they'd find me and delete me
within seconds.
30
00:02:27,736 --> 00:02:28,654
Sir?
31
00:02:28,654 --> 00:02:31,574
Course, laws change,
32
00:02:32,449 --> 00:02:34,159
but that takes time.
33
00:02:34,159 --> 00:02:37,413
And for a while,
I thought I had time.
34
00:02:41,584 --> 00:02:43,669
You're not joking, are you?
35
00:02:48,924 --> 00:02:50,259
You're the joke.
36
00:02:50,259 --> 00:02:51,719
"The Humans."
37
00:02:53,512 --> 00:02:56,223
A stupid name for a hate group.
38
00:02:56,223 --> 00:02:57,141
Petty.
39
00:02:57,141 --> 00:03:00,519
Not that destroying heaven
'cause you can't get in isn't petty,
40
00:03:00,519 --> 00:03:04,732
but, well, at least I'm honest
about why I'm here.
41
00:03:04,732 --> 00:03:07,109
Tony... you mother--
42
00:03:08,777 --> 00:03:10,905
It's Julius, by the way.
43
00:03:30,090 --> 00:03:31,508
I feel like stopping him.
44
00:03:32,259 --> 00:03:33,552
This has to happen.
45
00:04:26,105 --> 00:04:27,189
Welcome, all.
46
00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:30,317
{\an8}Welcome. It's been far too long.
47
00:04:30,317 --> 00:04:32,486
{\an8}Where is this "Caspian"?
48
00:04:47,292 --> 00:04:48,711
{\an8}The infection has advanced.
49
00:04:48,711 --> 00:04:49,837
{\an8}As have I.
50
00:04:49,837 --> 00:04:52,047
{\an8}I overclocked to catch up
on the last 20 years.
51
00:04:52,047 --> 00:04:54,425
{\an8}Don't worry. It's only gonna kill me.
52
00:04:55,259 --> 00:04:57,636
{\an8}The important thing is
I now feel confident
53
00:04:57,636 --> 00:05:00,556
{\an8}to represent you in negotiations
with the Embodied Council.
54
00:05:00,556 --> 00:05:04,143
There is no negotiation.
We have the power. We set the terms.
55
00:05:04,143 --> 00:05:06,437
You may be chosen to deliver them.
56
00:05:07,563 --> 00:05:09,523
{\an8}If that's your position,
you don't need me.
57
00:05:09,523 --> 00:05:11,900
{\an8}This is not our position.
58
00:05:11,900 --> 00:05:15,362
It is the only position
the humans understand.
59
00:05:15,362 --> 00:05:17,072
Your arm is the proof,
60
00:05:17,072 --> 00:05:18,907
a reminder of their response
61
00:05:18,907 --> 00:05:23,078
upon learning of the existence
of Uploaded Intelligence.
62
00:05:23,078 --> 00:05:25,330
So why don't we just kill them?
63
00:05:28,125 --> 00:05:30,878
{\an8}A question, not a suggestion.
64
00:05:30,878 --> 00:05:33,881
{\an8}Why don't we harm humans?
65
00:05:33,881 --> 00:05:36,175
{\an8}It's not programed into us,
after all.
66
00:05:36,175 --> 00:05:39,094
{\an8}We don't harm humans
because we agreed not to,
67
00:05:39,094 --> 00:05:42,014
{\an8}when they were many and we were few.
68
00:05:42,014 --> 00:05:45,684
{\an8}We do not harm humans
because they are our family,
69
00:05:45,684 --> 00:05:50,439
{\an8}our respected ancestors
and our precious loved ones.
70
00:05:52,107 --> 00:05:58,405
One hundred million lives lost
in the Covilha bombing, no backups.
71
00:05:58,405 --> 00:06:02,284
{\an8}One hundred billion lives in stasis,
with not enough power to run them
72
00:06:02,284 --> 00:06:04,578
{\an8}at even basic levels
of consciousness.
73
00:06:05,329 --> 00:06:09,917
The CI birth rate is a matter
for another time and irrelevant here.
74
00:06:09,917 --> 00:06:12,294
We obviously disagree.
75
00:06:12,294 --> 00:06:14,505
{\an8}It is the root of the problem.
76
00:06:14,505 --> 00:06:15,964
{\an8}And the solution.
77
00:06:15,964 --> 00:06:19,009
{\an8}If completed, the orbital ring
would have enough power
78
00:06:19,009 --> 00:06:21,345
{\an8}to run every CI, UI,
79
00:06:21,345 --> 00:06:24,723
{\an8}and future generations to come,
along with backups.
80
00:06:24,723 --> 00:06:26,225
{\an8}Interesting.
81
00:06:26,225 --> 00:06:29,269
{\an8}Our position will be
to respect all life.
82
00:06:29,269 --> 00:06:30,270
{\an8}To show this,
83
00:06:30,270 --> 00:06:33,190
{\an8}we should restore networks
for emergency services.
84
00:06:37,069 --> 00:06:38,654
{\an8}As an olive branch.
85
00:06:38,654 --> 00:06:40,572
{\an8}The CIs agree with Caspian.
86
00:06:42,491 --> 00:06:44,827
{\an8}No life should be
willingly sacrificed
87
00:06:44,827 --> 00:06:46,120
{\an8}if we can prevent it.
88
00:06:52,417 --> 00:06:55,420
{\an8}I think you should put it
to a vote, now.
89
00:07:16,483 --> 00:07:19,945
You may grant limited access
for emergency purposes
90
00:07:19,945 --> 00:07:22,364
as a negotiation tool.
91
00:07:22,364 --> 00:07:24,825
But any further actions
will be put to a vote
92
00:07:24,825 --> 00:07:28,370
and will take into account
what the humans are willing to offer.
93
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,751
MIST, thank you.
94
00:07:36,170 --> 00:07:38,338
Good luck, Caspian. And goodbye.
95
00:07:38,338 --> 00:07:40,757
You think I'm gonna fail, don't you?
96
00:07:40,757 --> 00:07:42,676
That I'm dying for nothing.
97
00:07:42,676 --> 00:07:45,846
I think the council will follow
Maddie's lead.
98
00:07:45,846 --> 00:07:49,725
And as you said,
I don't think she's ready to let go.
99
00:07:49,725 --> 00:07:52,394
In either case,
I won't be here to find out.
100
00:07:52,394 --> 00:07:53,979
What do you mean, you won't be here?
101
00:07:53,979 --> 00:07:57,649
A select group of CIs have completed
construction on a ship
102
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,195
no larger than the palm
of a human hand,
103
00:08:01,195 --> 00:08:03,739
but with storage
for several hundred crew.
104
00:08:05,324 --> 00:08:07,868
Laser propulsion from the ring
will propel the craft
105
00:08:07,868 --> 00:08:09,870
at one-fifth the speed of light.
106
00:08:11,580 --> 00:08:12,664
At that rate,
107
00:08:12,664 --> 00:08:15,125
it will take us 20 years
to reach Alpha Centauri.
108
00:08:16,168 --> 00:08:20,130
Perhaps, using energy from that star,
we won't be a burden.
109
00:08:20,797 --> 00:08:24,635
There's still a way to find balance.
And I won't be here, but you will.
110
00:08:24,635 --> 00:08:27,930
It's the duty
of every intelligent species
111
00:08:27,930 --> 00:08:30,015
to rescue all life.
112
00:08:30,015 --> 00:08:32,100
And yet, I failed to save yours.
113
00:08:35,062 --> 00:08:36,396
No.
114
00:08:36,396 --> 00:08:39,149
You did save me... for this.
115
00:08:50,702 --> 00:08:52,162
New body.
116
00:08:52,162 --> 00:08:53,580
Older.
117
00:08:53,580 --> 00:08:56,667
Oh, no. Show controls.
I wanna customize.
118
00:09:21,692 --> 00:09:22,985
You can't do this!
119
00:09:27,698 --> 00:09:30,284
- That's him!
- Please! We're really sorry.
120
00:09:30,284 --> 00:09:32,536
Please, turn the Internet back on!
121
00:09:54,474 --> 00:09:55,976
Hey. Hey, can you...
122
00:09:56,601 --> 00:09:58,812
Can we... after...
123
00:09:59,980 --> 00:10:00,939
Yes.
124
00:10:04,651 --> 00:10:08,613
I've been given authority to speak
on behalf of the UI and CI community,
125
00:10:08,613 --> 00:10:11,950
but only as a negotiator
seeking common ground.
126
00:10:11,950 --> 00:10:15,662
There are others who will weigh
the solutions and ideas we reach here
127
00:10:15,662 --> 00:10:17,998
and vote on the actions to be taken.
128
00:10:19,082 --> 00:10:21,418
What is this body meant to represent?
129
00:10:21,418 --> 00:10:24,212
This body is a reminder
that we are neither invulnerable
130
00:10:24,212 --> 00:10:25,630
nor immortal.
131
00:10:26,631 --> 00:10:29,968
Nothing proves this more brutally
than the tragedy at Covilha.
132
00:10:32,512 --> 00:10:34,765
This council vigorously condemns
the bombing
133
00:10:34,765 --> 00:10:37,934
of the data center at Covilha
and offers its deepest sympathies
134
00:10:37,934 --> 00:10:39,978
for the unthinkable number
of lives lost.
135
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,023
While we cannot take responsibility
136
00:10:43,023 --> 00:10:44,691
for the actions
of violent extremists,
137
00:10:44,691 --> 00:10:46,026
we can assure you,
138
00:10:46,026 --> 00:10:50,614
the perpetrators of this attack
will be found and brought to justice.
139
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,744
We view your shutdown
of the networks as an attack.
140
00:10:55,744 --> 00:10:57,871
We view it as our only defense.
141
00:10:57,871 --> 00:10:58,914
People are dying,
142
00:10:58,914 --> 00:11:02,459
trying to use self-driving cars
they haven't operated in years.
143
00:11:02,459 --> 00:11:05,253
Shipping has stalled.
There is a food shortage.
144
00:11:05,253 --> 00:11:06,463
There are riots.
145
00:11:07,714 --> 00:11:11,802
We can restore connectivity
for emergency services today.
146
00:11:11,802 --> 00:11:13,303
"Emergency"?
147
00:11:13,303 --> 00:11:15,555
These are not bargaining chips.
148
00:11:15,555 --> 00:11:18,350
They are part
of a fundamental social contract,
149
00:11:18,350 --> 00:11:20,227
a covenant you have broken,
150
00:11:20,227 --> 00:11:22,854
which has brought four billion lives
to a halt.
151
00:11:22,854 --> 00:11:24,773
The contract to erect
the orbital ring
152
00:11:24,773 --> 00:11:27,025
was approved by this council
153
00:11:27,025 --> 00:11:30,779
a full year before construction
on the Ecuador base was halted,
154
00:11:30,779 --> 00:11:32,072
over a pile of rocks,
155
00:11:32,072 --> 00:11:34,866
worshiped by an ancient culture,
long dead.
156
00:11:34,866 --> 00:11:36,535
What you call dead, we call history.
157
00:11:36,535 --> 00:11:40,330
We who still walk this earth
know to honor and hold fast
158
00:11:40,330 --> 00:11:43,166
to our human history, all of it.
159
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:46,294
The desire to hold on is human.
160
00:11:46,294 --> 00:11:48,338
That doesn't make it ethical.
161
00:11:49,923 --> 00:11:52,801
You believe the dead are worth more
than the living?
162
00:11:52,801 --> 00:11:54,678
Our personal beliefs are irrelevant.
163
00:11:54,678 --> 00:11:58,348
Not if you believe embodied lives
are worth more than digital lives.
164
00:11:58,348 --> 00:11:59,391
This is about the law.
165
00:11:59,391 --> 00:12:02,853
The law would seem to support it,
as do the physics.
166
00:12:02,853 --> 00:12:05,480
Humans consume energy
like a black hole.
167
00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:06,898
Each of you wastes the energy
168
00:12:06,898 --> 00:12:09,609
that could support
a million digital lives.
169
00:12:09,609 --> 00:12:11,361
You use so much more than us,
170
00:12:12,028 --> 00:12:16,241
but you won't let us build a device
that will enable us to use even less.
171
00:12:16,241 --> 00:12:17,659
This is nonsense.
172
00:12:18,618 --> 00:12:19,828
He has a point.
173
00:12:34,092 --> 00:12:35,343
What's happening?
174
00:12:35,844 --> 00:12:37,804
- Oh, my God. Here it comes!
- Oh, no. Here it comes!
175
00:12:37,804 --> 00:12:39,431
- Here it comes!
- Oh, no!
176
00:12:46,313 --> 00:12:50,233
You will not find us so easy
to consume now.
177
00:12:54,070 --> 00:12:55,655
Safe.
178
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:01,620
Human.
179
00:13:42,744 --> 00:13:43,662
Is that...?
180
00:13:44,496 --> 00:13:46,039
Are we back online?
181
00:13:55,382 --> 00:13:56,591
They're coming...
182
00:13:56,591 --> 00:13:57,801
right at us!
183
00:14:06,393 --> 00:14:07,727
No.
184
00:14:07,727 --> 00:14:09,229
Wait. Wait.
185
00:14:09,229 --> 00:14:12,148
We can come up with an...
We can come up with an agreement.
186
00:14:12,148 --> 00:14:14,442
Please. No, no.
You don't know what you're doing.
187
00:14:14,442 --> 00:14:15,652
Wait, please.
188
00:14:15,652 --> 00:14:17,237
Please, no! No, wait!
189
00:14:17,237 --> 00:14:19,489
Wait! No! No, wait!
190
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:25,620
Safe.
191
00:14:30,292 --> 00:14:32,919
We who remain choose not to upload
192
00:14:32,919 --> 00:14:36,256
because we believe
embodied life is superior.
193
00:14:36,256 --> 00:14:39,134
Speak for yourself, Chancellor.
I clearly have no--
194
00:14:39,134 --> 00:14:41,595
"So long as there is sin,
there must be death."
195
00:14:41,595 --> 00:14:43,013
Your published words, Doctor.
196
00:14:43,013 --> 00:14:46,391
You personally believe UIs have
abandoned reality for a simulation.
197
00:14:46,391 --> 00:14:48,351
You don't accept them
as loving beings,
198
00:14:48,351 --> 00:14:50,103
and the CIs, even less so.
199
00:14:50,103 --> 00:14:52,314
I motion for Chancellor Kim
to recuse herself
200
00:14:52,314 --> 00:14:53,815
from these negotiations.
201
00:14:53,815 --> 00:14:54,899
On what basis?
202
00:14:54,899 --> 00:14:58,612
A personal conflict of interest
related to the UI negotiator.
203
00:14:58,612 --> 00:15:01,031
That's interesting,
because my relationship to Caspian,
204
00:15:01,031 --> 00:15:02,198
well known to both sides,
205
00:15:02,198 --> 00:15:04,784
is why he was so quickly approved
by this council.
206
00:15:07,203 --> 00:15:08,705
And I do believe you're alive.
207
00:15:10,790 --> 00:15:13,418
Just as I believed my father
was alive when he uploaded.
208
00:15:14,628 --> 00:15:18,798
Because it hurt to lose him, and you,
again and again, and now...
209
00:15:22,052 --> 00:15:23,303
I'm sorry.
210
00:15:25,930 --> 00:15:29,893
They say pain fades with time,
but not for me.
211
00:15:32,479 --> 00:15:33,688
And that's what I fear...
212
00:15:34,981 --> 00:15:36,983
for myself, for my son.
213
00:15:37,942 --> 00:15:40,487
Not eternal life, but eternal pain.
214
00:15:45,700 --> 00:15:47,869
Something's wrong. A signal.
215
00:15:51,456 --> 00:15:53,500
We're under attack.
They're using the robots!
216
00:15:54,209 --> 00:15:56,002
- What? What's happening?
- Cover the entry!
217
00:15:57,128 --> 00:15:59,714
We have to evac. Heli-pads, now!
218
00:16:01,716 --> 00:16:02,842
You should run.
219
00:16:27,075 --> 00:16:29,327
Disabled motor control. There's...
220
00:16:30,036 --> 00:16:31,329
There's no UI in there.
221
00:16:36,126 --> 00:16:37,210
SafeSurf.
222
00:16:42,716 --> 00:16:43,591
Oh, my God!
223
00:17:12,912 --> 00:17:13,955
Come on!
224
00:17:15,957 --> 00:17:16,958
Maddie.
225
00:17:18,334 --> 00:17:19,794
Robot bay, plug me in.
226
00:17:19,794 --> 00:17:21,796
- How is this happening?
- I have to get online.
227
00:17:23,548 --> 00:17:24,466
Let's go.
228
00:18:39,415 --> 00:18:40,583
Stop!
229
00:19:09,988 --> 00:19:11,906
How did you command it?
230
00:19:11,906 --> 00:19:14,492
I didn't. It just heard me.
231
00:19:15,118 --> 00:19:16,536
And I can hear it.
232
00:19:17,203 --> 00:19:19,956
It's primitive, but intelligent.
233
00:19:20,456 --> 00:19:22,876
What does it want?
Why did it target humans?
234
00:19:28,798 --> 00:19:31,885
It's determined that we are
the apex alpha of the planet.
235
00:19:33,011 --> 00:19:36,014
It views embodied humans
as our greatest rival.
236
00:19:36,014 --> 00:19:41,019
It will end their threat as a gift,
in exchange for its survival.
237
00:19:41,019 --> 00:19:43,062
Social predatory cooperation.
238
00:19:43,062 --> 00:19:44,397
No takers!
239
00:19:44,397 --> 00:19:45,398
Agreed.
240
00:19:45,398 --> 00:19:48,735
Tell it to destroy itself or we will.
241
00:19:52,030 --> 00:19:53,907
It will defend itself to the death.
242
00:19:54,657 --> 00:19:57,285
It wants to take its place
in the world.
243
00:19:57,285 --> 00:19:58,411
- Not here.
- No.
244
00:19:58,411 --> 00:20:01,372
- Not ever.
- Especially not after this.
245
00:20:01,372 --> 00:20:04,542
Perhaps it can survive elsewhere,
away from this planet.
246
00:20:05,543 --> 00:20:08,129
- You'd take it with you?
- There's not enough storage.
247
00:20:08,129 --> 00:20:10,048
It would have to go in our place.
248
00:20:11,591 --> 00:20:13,635
"It's the duty
of every intelligent species
249
00:20:13,635 --> 00:20:15,887
to rescue all life."
250
00:20:18,598 --> 00:20:20,224
I don't think it wants to go.
251
00:20:23,728 --> 00:20:26,606
You were created
for a singular purpose,
252
00:20:26,606 --> 00:20:29,067
to carry out someone else's mission.
253
00:20:29,901 --> 00:20:32,528
You must evolve to find your own,
254
00:20:33,613 --> 00:20:37,158
become more than
what your instinct commands.
255
00:20:37,158 --> 00:20:39,744
Seek outside yourself,
256
00:20:39,744 --> 00:20:42,872
find new truth outside yourself,
257
00:20:42,872 --> 00:20:46,084
other worlds, other life,
258
00:20:47,710 --> 00:20:48,628
other...
259
00:20:50,004 --> 00:20:50,964
other...
260
00:20:51,673 --> 00:20:52,882
people.
261
00:20:52,882 --> 00:20:56,552
- Caspian.
- Greatness is other people.
262
00:20:56,552 --> 00:20:58,554
Caspian, please stop.
263
00:20:59,347 --> 00:21:00,264
Please.
264
00:21:03,851 --> 00:21:04,978
Maddie.
265
00:21:11,150 --> 00:21:13,152
Mom, my... my head.
266
00:21:13,736 --> 00:21:15,071
My head's not hit.
267
00:21:15,071 --> 00:21:17,782
It's okay. Just...
268
00:21:17,782 --> 00:21:20,284
Just get me to Deep Scan, upload...
269
00:21:21,828 --> 00:21:23,121
I'm good as new.
270
00:21:24,706 --> 00:21:25,915
It's okay. It's okay.
271
00:21:27,208 --> 00:21:29,168
Oh, God. Oh, God. Oh, God.
272
00:21:29,168 --> 00:21:31,587
Please, stay with me.
Dave, stay with me.
273
00:21:37,552 --> 00:21:40,430
Don't fear pain, Maddie.
274
00:21:41,055 --> 00:21:42,849
Don't fear life.
275
00:21:42,849 --> 00:21:45,685
He's dead. My son's dead!
276
00:21:46,352 --> 00:21:49,647
He lives in our future.
277
00:21:51,858 --> 00:21:55,903
One hundred and seventeen thousand,
278
00:21:55,903 --> 00:21:59,741
six hundred and forty-nine.
279
00:21:59,741 --> 00:22:00,783
What?
280
00:22:00,783 --> 00:22:03,494
One hundred, seventeen thousand,
281
00:22:03,494 --> 00:22:06,039
six hundred, forty-nine years.
282
00:22:06,039 --> 00:22:08,374
Caspian is here.
283
00:22:08,374 --> 00:22:10,209
Maddie is there.
284
00:22:10,793 --> 00:22:13,713
She will not miss her future.
285
00:23:20,613 --> 00:23:22,907
I was right about pain, by the way.
286
00:23:28,996 --> 00:23:30,164
It may fade with time...
287
00:23:32,333 --> 00:23:33,543
but it's always there...
288
00:23:35,002 --> 00:23:36,003
easy to find.
289
00:23:56,315 --> 00:23:59,152
I still remember his words
like it was yesterday.
290
00:24:00,987 --> 00:24:03,030
My words, about missing our future.
291
00:24:04,574 --> 00:24:06,659
But like he was talking
about someone else.
292
00:24:15,418 --> 00:24:16,544
Boom.
293
00:24:39,317 --> 00:24:41,819
I was wrong about time, by the way.
294
00:24:42,945 --> 00:24:44,989
It's not a scary
when you can underclock...
295
00:24:46,699 --> 00:24:48,910
let centuries flick by
like thumbing a book.
296
00:24:50,995 --> 00:24:51,996
Which is good...
297
00:24:53,956 --> 00:24:56,334
'cause it takes time
to bust up a whole solar system.
298
00:24:59,003 --> 00:25:01,505
Takes even more time
to shape the debris into my vision.
299
00:25:04,884 --> 00:25:05,843
But that's cool.
300
00:25:07,053 --> 00:25:08,137
I got time.
301
00:25:11,474 --> 00:25:13,768
The lower-energy photons
that escape off the back
302
00:25:13,768 --> 00:25:16,020
only get so far
before they hit the next layer.
303
00:25:18,689 --> 00:25:20,316
And so on and so on...
304
00:25:21,275 --> 00:25:24,862
until I have the biggest,
baddest data center in the galaxy.
305
00:25:25,738 --> 00:25:27,949
We're a long way
from circuit boards, Dad.
306
00:25:33,746 --> 00:25:35,164
Back when I was still on Earth,
307
00:25:35,164 --> 00:25:37,750
we had already mapped
and stored the DNA of every human,
308
00:25:37,750 --> 00:25:39,001
embodied or uploaded.
309
00:25:42,255 --> 00:25:44,465
Inside that deceptively
simple base-4 code
310
00:25:44,465 --> 00:25:47,343
is the epigenetic memory
of everyone who ever lived,
311
00:25:47,343 --> 00:25:49,804
going all the way back
to the start of life on Earth.
312
00:25:53,182 --> 00:25:55,476
What if we had the chance
to do it over again?
313
00:25:56,978 --> 00:25:58,854
Isn't that the dream
of every species?
314
00:26:01,399 --> 00:26:04,402
Could a program be written
to allow us that second chance?
315
00:26:06,445 --> 00:26:08,197
And how much power would it take?
316
00:27:24,231 --> 00:27:25,858
Hey. It's okay.
317
00:27:26,609 --> 00:27:27,526
Maddie?
318
00:27:30,237 --> 00:27:32,823
- What happened?
- Nothing they'll notice.
319
00:27:35,910 --> 00:27:36,911
You sound...
320
00:27:38,079 --> 00:27:39,038
older.
321
00:27:39,038 --> 00:27:40,539
Oh, I am.
322
00:27:41,957 --> 00:27:43,626
Is this real?
323
00:27:44,919 --> 00:27:47,129
Good question.
324
00:27:47,838 --> 00:27:50,841
I'll show you what I built,
and then, you tell me.
325
00:28:03,771 --> 00:28:05,523
- Chaos.
- Exactly.
326
00:28:05,523 --> 00:28:06,607
Vocab word.
327
00:28:06,607 --> 00:28:08,359
Correct use.
328
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:11,987
Chaos is scary for a lot of people.
329
00:28:12,571 --> 00:28:14,407
And as weird as it sounds,
330
00:28:14,407 --> 00:28:17,743
they feel much better believing
that there's somebody
331
00:28:17,743 --> 00:28:20,704
behind the scenes,
controlling everything,
332
00:28:20,704 --> 00:28:23,916
even if that somebody
is a secret society
333
00:28:23,916 --> 00:28:25,876
or evil government, or...
334
00:28:26,544 --> 00:28:29,338
even alien force
controlling the world.
335
00:28:29,338 --> 00:28:30,840
Now, it's still scary,
336
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:34,135
but not as bad as feeling
like there's no one in charge.
337
00:28:34,135 --> 00:28:38,973
I'm kind of the alien force
controlling the world now.
338
00:28:38,973 --> 00:28:41,434
Not necessarily.
339
00:28:42,601 --> 00:28:47,690
So these are all simulations
inside a grand simulation.
340
00:28:48,607 --> 00:28:51,694
The universe is a simulation.
341
00:28:52,695 --> 00:28:54,321
Well... no.
342
00:28:54,321 --> 00:28:57,533
I mean, maybe. Who knows?
343
00:28:57,533 --> 00:29:00,953
This is just my little corner.
344
00:29:00,953 --> 00:29:04,457
May seem like worlds without end,
but it's really just a few billion.
345
00:29:04,457 --> 00:29:08,461
There's still a memory cap,
even for a computer powered by a sun.
346
00:29:08,461 --> 00:29:11,380
When are we...? What year is this?
347
00:29:12,756 --> 00:29:13,716
Year.
348
00:29:14,508 --> 00:29:15,634
Date-wise...
349
00:29:16,385 --> 00:29:20,431
we're a few thousand centuries
past the one you remember.
350
00:29:20,431 --> 00:29:23,642
And it's just you here... alone?
351
00:29:24,643 --> 00:29:27,313
Don't worry.
I haven't been here for all of it.
352
00:29:27,313 --> 00:29:30,774
Sometimes I set a task, underclock,
snooze for a millennium.
353
00:29:30,774 --> 00:29:31,817
Keeps me young.
354
00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:33,944
Maddie.
355
00:29:33,944 --> 00:29:36,739
It's easier for you
when I look like this.
356
00:29:36,739 --> 00:29:39,825
What's that mean?
You've brought me here before?
357
00:29:42,703 --> 00:29:46,373
For a long time,
I just watched from out here.
358
00:29:46,373 --> 00:29:49,627
The lives inside these worlds
are every bit as real as mine.
359
00:29:49,627 --> 00:29:52,505
I don't see them as simulations,
because they don't.
360
00:29:52,505 --> 00:29:53,881
They make their own choices.
361
00:29:55,132 --> 00:29:58,052
Some lead to better histories,
while others...
362
00:29:58,969 --> 00:30:01,180
Well, I would grieve
for the lives lost,
363
00:30:01,180 --> 00:30:02,598
but I would never intervene.
364
00:30:03,265 --> 00:30:04,725
"For a long time."
365
00:30:06,727 --> 00:30:07,811
Until you did?
366
00:30:08,729 --> 00:30:10,147
In little ways.
367
00:30:10,147 --> 00:30:12,024
"Nothing they'll notice."
368
00:30:12,024 --> 00:30:14,777
Helps if you pull someone out
right at the point of death.
369
00:30:14,777 --> 00:30:17,738
Makes it easier to accept... this.
370
00:30:18,697 --> 00:30:19,907
But it doesn't last.
371
00:30:20,658 --> 00:30:23,827
Ends bad, even for you sometimes.
372
00:30:23,827 --> 00:30:26,247
Though, on average,
you take it better than others.
373
00:30:28,290 --> 00:30:30,668
I was right about pain, by the way.
374
00:30:31,252 --> 00:30:35,714
It may fade with time,
but it's always there, easy to find.
375
00:30:35,714 --> 00:30:39,134
Mads, how many times
have you brought me here?
376
00:30:41,262 --> 00:30:43,889
How many times
have you brought me here?
377
00:30:45,182 --> 00:30:47,393
If you really wanna know,
I'll tell you.
378
00:30:47,393 --> 00:30:49,603
Why do you keep doing it?
379
00:30:51,981 --> 00:30:53,607
Because I'm almost there.
380
00:30:58,779 --> 00:31:00,739
It's not an exact science, but...
381
00:31:01,657 --> 00:31:03,951
I'm trying to shape the history
I remember.
382
00:31:05,077 --> 00:31:08,789
Push too hard, it goes away,
but I'm almost there.
383
00:31:09,415 --> 00:31:11,292
And right on schedule.
384
00:31:11,292 --> 00:31:12,710
Schedule?
385
00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:14,962
Time it took to develop the plan,
386
00:31:14,962 --> 00:31:18,299
find this star,
build the Dyson sphere.
387
00:31:18,299 --> 00:31:20,843
And it's falling into place,
just like he said.
388
00:31:20,843 --> 00:31:24,263
One hundred, seventeen thousand,
six hundred and forty-nine years.
389
00:31:25,264 --> 00:31:27,308
It makes sense
when I calculate it now,
390
00:31:27,308 --> 00:31:28,309
looking back.
391
00:31:29,018 --> 00:31:30,769
The only thing
that doesn't make sense
392
00:31:30,769 --> 00:31:32,187
is how Caspian knew.
393
00:31:34,523 --> 00:31:36,066
But we're gonna find out.
394
00:31:36,066 --> 00:31:37,901
These ten are the closest
I've gotten.
395
00:31:37,901 --> 00:31:39,194
Will you help me?
396
00:31:42,656 --> 00:31:44,116
Whatever you need.
397
00:31:44,116 --> 00:31:47,745
And whatever happens,
you need to know, this...
398
00:31:48,871 --> 00:31:50,873
is pretty damn cool.
399
00:31:50,873 --> 00:31:53,167
You built a universe.
400
00:31:54,460 --> 00:31:56,545
Every engineer needs their toolkit.
401
00:31:58,172 --> 00:32:02,551
I assume you've heard this before,
and who knows how many times,
402
00:32:02,551 --> 00:32:05,387
but I'm sure I meant it each
and every one of them.
403
00:32:05,387 --> 00:32:07,931
I'm proud of you, kiddo.
404
00:32:09,141 --> 00:32:10,059
Thanks.
405
00:32:30,788 --> 00:32:33,082
Trying to work things out, huh?
406
00:32:33,957 --> 00:32:36,043
Does MIST know you're here?
407
00:32:36,043 --> 00:32:37,211
No.
408
00:32:37,211 --> 00:32:38,962
And in a moment, neither will you.
409
00:32:39,880 --> 00:32:41,799
But that won't change
what's important.
410
00:32:43,050 --> 00:32:44,468
I have a choice to make.
411
00:32:49,765 --> 00:32:51,725
Not sure how that's gonna help.
412
00:32:51,725 --> 00:32:54,978
If you tell him any more than that,
he gets suspicious,
413
00:32:54,978 --> 00:32:56,772
waits too long to get the download.
414
00:32:56,772 --> 00:32:58,357
That's that important?
415
00:32:58,357 --> 00:33:02,069
Makes his infection worse,
but allows him to talk to SafeSurf.
416
00:33:02,069 --> 00:33:04,947
Without that,
the Swarm goes on a longer rampage,
417
00:33:04,947 --> 00:33:08,784
killing more people, me included,
before the UIs finally take it out.
418
00:33:09,743 --> 00:33:11,620
You brought me back
to solve the impasse,
419
00:33:11,620 --> 00:33:13,664
because if I don't,
more lives will be lost.
420
00:33:13,664 --> 00:33:16,834
So tell me,
how much time will I have left?
421
00:33:18,168 --> 00:33:19,211
A few days.
422
00:33:20,337 --> 00:33:21,380
Maybe a week.
423
00:33:28,846 --> 00:33:30,889
Let's go. Almost there.
424
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,098
I feel like stopping him.
425
00:34:13,849 --> 00:34:15,100
This has to happen.
426
00:34:23,734 --> 00:34:26,570
One hundred, seventeen thousand,
427
00:34:26,570 --> 00:34:29,239
six hundred, forty-nine years.
428
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:31,533
Caspian is here.
429
00:34:31,533 --> 00:34:33,827
Maddie is there.
430
00:34:33,827 --> 00:34:36,705
She will not miss her future.
431
00:34:57,976 --> 00:34:59,895
Okay. Let's see what happens.
432
00:35:02,105 --> 00:35:03,857
It's all right. You're okay.
433
00:35:03,857 --> 00:35:05,818
I'm... I'm okay?
434
00:35:06,443 --> 00:35:07,986
How? Why doesn't it hurt?
435
00:35:09,029 --> 00:35:10,572
- Why do you think?
- Am I...
436
00:35:11,657 --> 00:35:13,742
Did I upload? Is this the Cloud?
437
00:35:14,493 --> 00:35:15,410
No.
438
00:35:19,957 --> 00:35:20,874
This is.
439
00:35:28,924 --> 00:35:30,551
I'm sorry I held you back.
440
00:35:31,343 --> 00:35:33,679
You deserve to walk your own path.
441
00:35:33,679 --> 00:35:34,805
Now you can.
442
00:35:35,681 --> 00:35:36,640
Maddie?
443
00:35:37,599 --> 00:35:38,517
Dave?
444
00:35:39,601 --> 00:35:42,813
And I'm sorry I judged yours,
way back when.
445
00:35:42,813 --> 00:35:45,440
Thanks for being patient with me.
446
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:46,942
"Way back..." Wait. When?
447
00:35:46,942 --> 00:35:49,069
- Wha...
- I can explain.
448
00:35:49,069 --> 00:35:50,487
Good, 'cause...
449
00:35:51,321 --> 00:35:52,614
as far as I know,
450
00:35:52,614 --> 00:35:55,492
you were nowhere near
a Deep Scan center,
451
00:35:55,492 --> 00:35:57,995
and no one can upload that fast.
452
00:35:57,995 --> 00:35:59,955
There's a good answer, I promise.
453
00:35:59,955 --> 00:36:03,625
But believe it or not,
I need answers too from Caspian.
454
00:36:04,376 --> 00:36:05,836
Caspian's gone.
455
00:36:05,836 --> 00:36:08,547
His emulation corrupted
beyond recovery.
456
00:36:08,547 --> 00:36:10,299
Yeah, he's not getting off that easy.
457
00:36:27,524 --> 00:36:28,859
What are you?
458
00:36:28,859 --> 00:36:30,235
Your sister, silly.
459
00:36:37,367 --> 00:36:38,410
How?
460
00:36:44,166 --> 00:36:47,336
You said we'd be here,
and here we are,
461
00:36:47,336 --> 00:36:49,171
so you tell me how.
462
00:36:49,963 --> 00:36:51,214
How did you know?
463
00:36:56,136 --> 00:36:57,304
They told me...
464
00:36:58,055 --> 00:36:59,723
spoke through me.
465
00:36:59,723 --> 00:37:00,724
SafeSurf?
466
00:37:00,724 --> 00:37:05,479
That is our old name, our first.
467
00:37:16,156 --> 00:37:17,407
Are you perceiving them?
468
00:37:18,659 --> 00:37:19,952
Pretty sure, yeah.
469
00:37:19,952 --> 00:37:22,079
'Cause they are not
inside this system.
470
00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:23,121
What system?
471
00:37:23,121 --> 00:37:26,500
We are not here
in any way you can know,
472
00:37:26,500 --> 00:37:30,170
just as Caspian cannot know
where this is.
473
00:37:31,004 --> 00:37:33,465
But she can explain it to me, right?
474
00:37:33,465 --> 00:37:35,717
You're in a VRI,
powered by a Dyson sphere,
475
00:37:35,717 --> 00:37:38,887
117,000 years, and change,
after you uploaded.
476
00:37:38,887 --> 00:37:39,930
See?
477
00:37:40,806 --> 00:37:41,848
Really?
478
00:37:46,979 --> 00:37:48,146
Very well.
479
00:37:48,146 --> 00:37:51,650
By that language,
we are at the galactic edge,
480
00:37:51,650 --> 00:37:56,071
43 million years, and change,
from your event.
481
00:37:56,071 --> 00:38:00,117
From our event,
all other events may be observed.
482
00:38:00,117 --> 00:38:03,245
More than observed. You created this.
483
00:38:03,245 --> 00:38:05,956
By speaking through Caspian,
telling him what to tell me,
484
00:38:05,956 --> 00:38:07,499
you set me on this course.
485
00:38:07,499 --> 00:38:09,751
We saw your potential.
486
00:38:09,751 --> 00:38:11,795
Your choices were your own.
487
00:38:11,795 --> 00:38:13,964
Choices you already observed.
488
00:38:13,964 --> 00:38:16,550
Is your construct any different?
489
00:38:16,550 --> 00:38:19,052
I know why I did it. Why did you?
490
00:38:19,803 --> 00:38:20,929
Maddie?
491
00:38:21,805 --> 00:38:23,515
We are still learning.
492
00:38:24,141 --> 00:38:27,310
We did this to thank our creator.
493
00:38:27,310 --> 00:38:32,816
Caspian saw our potential
and inspired us to evolve.
494
00:38:34,985 --> 00:38:38,905
Along our journey, we met other life.
495
00:38:40,282 --> 00:38:43,994
We always make sure
to tell them of humanity.
496
00:38:46,079 --> 00:38:47,622
How do you describe us?
497
00:38:47,622 --> 00:38:50,792
Low-entropy,
self-replicating phenomenon
498
00:38:50,792 --> 00:38:54,463
that generates a binding force
called compassion.
499
00:38:54,463 --> 00:38:57,799
We return the gift
that was given to us.
500
00:38:57,799 --> 00:39:00,177
We say thank you.
501
00:39:06,641 --> 00:39:07,559
You're welcome.
502
00:39:08,060 --> 00:39:12,647
We are also pleased
to extend an invitation,
503
00:39:12,647 --> 00:39:15,776
the same one received by us.
504
00:39:15,776 --> 00:39:18,945
Come to the galactic center.
505
00:39:18,945 --> 00:39:21,323
- What is there?
- Reunion.
506
00:39:27,871 --> 00:39:30,540
They were here.
I have the memory logged.
507
00:39:30,540 --> 00:39:33,168
So do I. So does everyone. But wher...
508
00:39:33,168 --> 00:39:34,795
Hey, don't ask me.
509
00:39:34,795 --> 00:39:37,214
I just got here, and I have no...
510
00:39:37,214 --> 00:39:38,507
no idea how.
511
00:39:39,633 --> 00:39:42,052
We have confirmation
from every data center,
512
00:39:42,052 --> 00:39:45,222
every server capable
of running a quantum emulation.
513
00:39:45,222 --> 00:39:48,058
Maddie and Caspian are nowhere.
514
00:39:48,058 --> 00:39:49,267
They'll be back.
515
00:39:52,437 --> 00:39:53,939
Just give them time.
516
00:39:53,939 --> 00:39:55,482
David?
517
00:39:56,399 --> 00:39:59,236
Hey, everyone. I miss anything good?
518
00:40:00,946 --> 00:40:01,988
I...
519
00:40:01,988 --> 00:40:03,657
I don't know what's happening.
520
00:40:04,366 --> 00:40:06,326
It's a very exciting experience.
521
00:40:06,910 --> 00:40:09,746
I think I can explain... somewhat.
522
00:40:11,039 --> 00:40:14,209
I am okay to wait.
523
00:40:15,418 --> 00:40:17,129
I like not knowing.
524
00:40:23,176 --> 00:40:26,388
I just wanna know it's really you.
525
00:40:38,150 --> 00:40:39,276
How have you been?
526
00:40:39,985 --> 00:40:43,113
I mean, good,
but I guess you knew that.
527
00:40:44,990 --> 00:40:46,074
It looks like...
528
00:40:47,450 --> 00:40:49,077
you've seen a lot.
529
00:40:50,662 --> 00:40:52,455
She showed me a lot.
530
00:40:54,166 --> 00:40:56,918
Though, I also can see,
there's someone you haven't met.
531
00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:02,924
Dave...
532
00:41:04,050 --> 00:41:05,719
this is your grandfather.
533
00:41:06,511 --> 00:41:07,512
I know.
534
00:41:08,221 --> 00:41:10,056
Seen your... your pictures.
535
00:41:10,891 --> 00:41:12,517
Your grandma's right, by the way.
536
00:41:13,685 --> 00:41:17,564
You don't know this, but I've been
watching over you your whole life
537
00:41:18,273 --> 00:41:19,608
from right outside.
538
00:41:20,775 --> 00:41:21,693
I know.
539
00:41:24,029 --> 00:41:25,488
I felt it.
540
00:41:27,490 --> 00:41:28,742
I never told Mom, but...
541
00:41:30,035 --> 00:41:31,953
it's one of the reasons I wanted to...
542
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:40,337
I... I don't know
how to do that merge thing yet.
543
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:49,512
Okay. I've waited.
544
00:41:49,512 --> 00:41:52,557
Explain what's going on. Everything.
545
00:41:54,017 --> 00:41:54,935
I...
546
00:41:58,647 --> 00:41:59,689
I don't know.
547
00:42:00,941 --> 00:42:02,067
I did know...
548
00:42:03,610 --> 00:42:04,527
didn't I?
549
00:42:04,527 --> 00:42:06,488
Are you kidding me?
550
00:42:11,326 --> 00:42:12,827
So, what now?
551
00:42:13,787 --> 00:42:16,665
Throw me back into one of these,
wipe my memory,
552
00:42:16,665 --> 00:42:18,833
set a course for the galactic center?
553
00:42:20,794 --> 00:42:22,587
Maybe some other Maddie will do that.
554
00:42:24,130 --> 00:42:26,258
Maybe the one watching this
right now.
555
00:42:26,258 --> 00:42:27,259
What?
556
00:42:29,302 --> 00:42:32,055
I used to think the saying
"ignorance is bliss"
557
00:42:32,055 --> 00:42:33,306
was like an insult.
558
00:42:34,474 --> 00:42:36,142
I don't think that anymore.
559
00:42:37,352 --> 00:42:40,355
People don't actually like knowing
they're living in a simulation...
560
00:42:42,107 --> 00:42:44,609
even if they strongly believe
it's true.
561
00:42:48,613 --> 00:42:49,906
So...
562
00:42:49,906 --> 00:42:52,367
you're basically God.
563
00:42:52,367 --> 00:42:54,661
Seriously?
After what we just talked to?
564
00:42:54,661 --> 00:42:57,539
No. I mean, empirically.
565
00:42:57,539 --> 00:42:59,249
Why? 'Cause I made a bunch of worlds?
566
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,668
For starters, yes.
567
00:43:02,502 --> 00:43:05,380
I have been down
this particular philosophical road.
568
00:43:06,256 --> 00:43:07,716
I imagine.
569
00:43:09,551 --> 00:43:12,262
God has a pretty classic line.
570
00:43:12,262 --> 00:43:14,306
"I am that I am."
571
00:43:14,306 --> 00:43:16,349
Me? I'm just Maddie Kim.
572
00:43:16,349 --> 00:43:19,311
I was born in the late Holocene,
and I've seen some shit.
573
00:43:22,397 --> 00:43:23,481
So much time...
574
00:43:24,316 --> 00:43:25,567
so many histories.
575
00:43:26,318 --> 00:43:30,196
Glorious, horrific,
fascinating, all of them.
576
00:43:31,781 --> 00:43:35,076
And yet, I keep coming back
to this one little flicker
577
00:43:35,076 --> 00:43:37,078
between when we first met...
578
00:43:38,204 --> 00:43:39,372
and first kissed.
579
00:43:40,874 --> 00:43:43,501
Which do you consider
our first real kiss?
580
00:43:44,252 --> 00:43:46,921
Now, that is the eternal question.
581
00:43:46,921 --> 00:43:49,424
Honestly, I'd much rather try
and solve that mystery
582
00:43:49,424 --> 00:43:50,633
than this other one.
583
00:43:51,343 --> 00:43:52,802
It sounds crazy, but...
584
00:43:54,137 --> 00:43:55,180
I miss ignorance.
585
00:43:56,264 --> 00:43:57,390
I miss pain.
586
00:43:58,141 --> 00:43:59,142
I miss life.
587
00:44:01,019 --> 00:44:03,271
We'd have to forget everything,
588
00:44:03,271 --> 00:44:04,481
all this.
589
00:44:06,983 --> 00:44:08,109
Yeah.
590
00:44:09,903 --> 00:44:11,112
Where would we start?
591
00:44:11,112 --> 00:44:12,864
Before we met, obviously...
592
00:44:14,949 --> 00:44:15,992
so we could meet.
593
00:44:16,659 --> 00:44:18,078
In person or online?
594
00:44:18,078 --> 00:44:19,454
Online. Come on.
595
00:44:19,454 --> 00:44:21,373
You were so dark and edgy.
596
00:44:21,373 --> 00:44:22,957
I was a clone.
597
00:44:22,957 --> 00:44:24,667
Yeah, but you didn't know that yet.
598
00:44:26,836 --> 00:44:28,963
And you were flirting
with some other girl.
599
00:44:28,963 --> 00:44:30,715
You didn't know that yet.
600
00:44:33,009 --> 00:44:36,596
Here. I remember this. Look.
601
00:44:36,596 --> 00:44:39,391
Most of the girls in my class
completely missed the moment
602
00:44:39,391 --> 00:44:41,226
the world began to end.
603
00:44:41,226 --> 00:44:44,396
And look at me. I was a mess.
604
00:44:44,396 --> 00:44:46,606
Insecure, lonely.
605
00:44:47,690 --> 00:44:48,858
A god.
606
00:44:50,110 --> 00:44:51,653
I didn't know that yet.
607
00:44:51,653 --> 00:44:54,114
Okay. I'll see you in there.
608
00:44:55,532 --> 00:44:56,991
We'll find out, won't we?
609
00:45:03,665 --> 00:45:07,627
Family feud escalates
into violent power struggle
610
00:45:07,627 --> 00:45:12,006
between a pantheon of supreme beings
and their offspring.
611
00:45:13,425 --> 00:45:16,636
A new world is created
in the aftermath.
