Any idea why he made that pivot?
134
00:08:14,703 --> 00:08:19,208

to buy tickets to see those species

00:08:22,961 --> 00:08:25,130

00:10:47,105 --> 00:10:49,399
We need to be careful here, Nick.
174
00:10:50,442 --> 00:10:53,987
Homicide gets you shipped off the planet
just as fast as ecocide.
175
00:10:54,988 --> 00:10:59,076
How is a woman falling through the sky
in New York City my fault?
176
00:11:00,994 --> 00:11:05,374
Stop worrying about Shearer,
and tell Martha to get me out of here.
177
00:11:06,416 --> 00:11:09,545
[Martha] I assure you
that we here at Alpha are confident
178
00:11:09,545 --> 00:11:12,297
that Nick Bilton will be exonerated
of all charges.
179
00:11:13,632 --> 00:11:18,762
I'm fully aware that Mr. Bilton's arrest
has eroded our stock value by 17%,
180
00:11:18,762 --> 00:11:24,852
so I want to tell this esteemed group
that we will be launching a new product.
181
00:11:25,894 --> 00:11:29,147
One that will directly address
the grim reality
182
00:11:29,648 --> 00:11:34,236
that carbon is now at 564 parts
per million in our atmosphere.
183
00:11:36,488 --> 00:11:40,868
It has the potential to be
the biggest new offering from Alpha
184
00:11:40,868 --> 00:11:44,037
- since the gift of clean water.
- [chimes]
185
00:11:44,580 --> 00:11:46,248
I see many of you have questions.
186
00:11:47,207 --> 00:11:48,750
However, on the advice of our lawyers,
187
00:11:48,750 --> 00:11:51,003
we are not taking questions
at this meeting.
188
00:11:53,338 --> 00:11:54,548
Thank you for your time.
189
00:11:58,844 --> 00:12:00,262
[sighs]
190
00:12:02,222 --> 00:12:03,599
[Turner] Well done, Martha.
191
00:12:04,349 --> 00:12:05,767
I'll let Mr. Bilton know.
192
00:12:06,727 --> 00:12:08,604
I think this is a mistake.
193
00:12:09,271 --> 00:12:13,066
Then I encourage you to use your time
to think about something else instead.
194
00:12:16,695 --> 00:12:17,696
[button pings]
195
00:12:24,661 --> 00:12:27,456
[Nick] Congratulations.
Alpha had its best year ever.
196
00:12:28,832 --> 00:12:30,167
I'm glad you're pleased.
197
00:12:34,004 --> 00:12:39,927
And, uh, subscriptions to LifePause
are heading in the right direction,
198
00:12:39,927 --> 00:12:42,095
- little by little.
- Finally.
199
00:12:42,095 --> 00:12:46,558
The reach of Alpha certainly plays
a role in that, so thank you.
200
00:12:47,059 --> 00:12:50,270
Where did it come from? The idea?
201
00:12:51,230 --> 00:12:52,356
Always wanted to ask.
202
00:12:54,066 --> 00:12:56,360
When I was a little girl,
I loved wildflowers.
203
00:12:57,778 --> 00:13:00,656
I would draw them
with my grandfather's crayons.
204
00:13:00,656 --> 00:13:04,826
I would venture out to look for them
on days that weren't too hot.
205
00:13:04,826 --> 00:13:10,666
But once the bees were gone, they'd taken
the wildflowers with them and...
206
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:15,504
My grandfather used to tell me a story
that the flowers are just hiding.
207
00:13:16,046 --> 00:13:17,548
They'll be back again someday.
208
00:13:18,507 --> 00:13:21,593
Could probably get our people
to make you up some new seeds.
209
00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:26,890
I took a different approach.
210
00:13:27,558 --> 00:13:29,560
I thought, "What if I could stop time?"
211
00:13:30,394 --> 00:13:32,729
- Hence LifePause.
- Exactly.
212
00:13:34,398 --> 00:13:37,359
Thank you for sharing.
Really lovely story.
213
00:13:39,862 --> 00:13:42,447
[inhales deeply]
Can I ask you another question?
214
00:13:43,323 --> 00:13:47,786
[sighs] What would be
the most exciting good or service
215
00:13:47,786 --> 00:13:49,746
that Alpha could bring to this world?
216
00:13:50,914 --> 00:13:55,752
Cancer's been cured.
Literacy is a simple CRISPR hack.
217
00:13:55,752 --> 00:13:58,505
[chuckles] Anything?
218
00:13:59,381 --> 00:14:00,507
Sky's the limit.
219
00:14:02,050 --> 00:14:06,597
I guess, finding a way to grow
a brand-new, breathable atmosphere on Mars
220
00:14:06,597 --> 00:14:08,348
that allows humans to start over.
221
00:14:09,558 --> 00:14:11,101
Mars. [chuckles]
222
00:14:12,644 --> 00:14:14,271
It would solve a lot of things.
223
00:14:16,773 --> 00:14:19,234
What if we were able to do that
here on Earth?
224
00:14:21,445 --> 00:14:22,779
Do what?
225
00:14:22,779 --> 00:14:24,031
Start over.
226
00:14:26,325 --> 00:14:28,619
[chuckles] Are you kidding?
227
00:14:31,246 --> 00:14:33,332
I think I know how to make Newcomen work.
228
00:14:35,667 --> 00:14:37,127
And I'd like you to run it.
229
00:14:41,089 --> 00:14:43,800
- We called it "Newcomen."
- [Lucy] Why is that?
230
00:14:44,468 --> 00:14:47,763
Well, Thomas Newcomen invented
the steam engine in 1712.
231
00:14:47,763 --> 00:14:52,643
It was used originally to prevent
coal mines from flooding, ironically.
232
00:14:52,643 --> 00:14:56,438
Mr. Bilton saw it as the moment
that humanity's carbon footprint started
233
00:14:56,438 --> 00:14:58,941
to stomp on the natural order of things.
234
00:14:58,941 --> 00:15:01,985
And what was Project Newcomen at Alpha?
235
00:15:01,985 --> 00:15:03,612
[Jonathan] It was the holy grail.
236
00:15:03,612 --> 00:15:07,783
It was gonna be a machine, a technology
to take carbon out of the atmosphere.
237
00:15:07,783 --> 00:15:09,576
It was scalable and affordable.
238
00:15:09,576 --> 00:15:12,412
Did Newcomen ever come into existence?
239
00:15:12,412 --> 00:15:14,414
[Jonathan] No. No.
240
00:15:15,415 --> 00:15:18,043
It always had design problems at scale,
241
00:15:18,043 --> 00:15:22,089
and we never really solved the problems
with the downstream by-product.
242
00:15:22,089 --> 00:15:24,466
I'm confused. Why are we here?
243
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:28,887
Mr. Chopin just said he ran a program,
funded by Mr. Bilton,
244
00:15:28,887 --> 00:15:31,557
that was meant to pull CO2
out of the atmosphere.
245
00:15:31,557 --> 00:15:33,642
Save the world from climate change.
246
00:15:33,642 --> 00:15:38,230
A noble endeavor, to be sure,
but your witness failed.
247
00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:42,609
Couldn't get it done.
So why is my client on trial and not him?
248
00:15:44,695 --> 00:15:46,780
And why did you leave, Mr. Chopin?
249
00:15:47,573 --> 00:15:49,533
Decide you wanted to go fail
at something else?
250
00:15:49,533 --> 00:15:50,993
Objection!
251
00:15:50,993 --> 00:15:52,703
- [chimes]
- [judge] Sustained.
252
00:15:52,703 --> 00:15:55,873
[stammers] I'll tell you. I'll--
I'll answer the question. I got fired.
253
00:15:55,873 --> 00:15:58,458
Well, it sounds like
Mr. Bilton made the right move.
254
00:15:58,458 --> 00:16:00,085
And who replaced you?
255
00:16:00,085 --> 00:16:04,423
I understand that Newcomen
got restarted seven years ago
256
00:16:04,423 --> 00:16:06,133
and that Martha Russell was put in charge.
257
00:16:06,133 --> 00:16:10,804
Ah, the woman that Mr. Bilton
just announced as CEO.
258
00:16:10,804 --> 00:16:12,556
So he's on trial
for promoting someone now?
259
00:16:12,556 --> 00:16:15,017
What was Mr. Bilton's position
on geoengineering?
260
00:16:15,017 --> 00:16:16,518
Objection. Not relevant.
261
00:16:16,518 --> 00:16:17,936
I beg to differ.
262
00:16:17,936 --> 00:16:21,398
If one is concerned about limiting carbon,
as he claims,
263
00:16:21,398 --> 00:16:23,400
one cannot be in favor
of a course of action
264
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,527
that allows the world
to keep putting it in the sky.
265
00:16:25,527 --> 00:16:28,155
On multiple occasions,
he expressed his enthusiasm.
266
00:16:28,155 --> 00:16:31,283
It was obviously the best way
to lower temperature in the short term,
267
00:16:31,283 --> 00:16:33,660
and he said
he liked the short-term solution
268
00:16:33,660 --> 00:16:36,246
because it was the best
from a PR point of view too.
269
00:16:36,246 --> 00:16:38,081
So, he endorsed geoengineering.
270
00:16:38,081 --> 00:16:40,834
And so did you, Mr. Chopin.
Nearly half the world did.
271
00:16:40,834 --> 00:16:42,628
Then you changed your mind.
272
00:16:42,628 --> 00:16:45,130
Do you want the court to review
your comments on the issue?
273
00:16:45,130 --> 00:16:48,050
Some of us realized that
if you decouple carbon from temperature,
274
00:16:48,050 --> 00:16:49,801
you're gonna rationalize
ongoing polluting.
275
00:16:49,801 --> 00:16:53,388
Nick saw it as a way to make limitless
money by customizing the stratosphere.
276
00:16:53,388 --> 00:16:54,806
He wanted both sides of the trade.
277
00:16:54,806 --> 00:16:56,725
- [Turner] Objection. Conjecture.
- [judge] Sustained.
278
00:16:56,725 --> 00:16:58,602
How can he say these things
about my father?
279
00:16:58,602 --> 00:16:59,811
He's lying.
280
00:16:59,811 --> 00:17:02,064
- Mr. Bilton is a great humanitarian.
- [Jonathan] You did, Nick.
281
00:17:02,064 --> 00:17:04,358
He's among the top ten philanthropists
in the world.
282
00:17:04,358 --> 00:17:06,401
[Jonathan] Just admit it.
You said it over and over.
283
00:17:06,401 --> 00:17:08,153
It didn't matter
how high the carbon levels got
284
00:17:08,153 --> 00:17:10,239
'cause one day,
you were gonna make a machine
285
00:17:10,239 --> 00:17:12,115
that could suck it out of the atmosphere.
And y--
286
00:17:12,115 --> 00:17:14,785
You said on that day,
the more CO2 that's up there,
287
00:17:14,785 --> 00:17:16,369
the more money you can make
eliminating it.
288
00:17:16,369 --> 00:17:19,164
You called it
a fucking vacuum cleaner for wealth.
289
00:17:19,164 --> 00:17:20,665
You failed, Johnny.
290
00:17:20,665 --> 00:17:23,585
Failed at your job, failed as a father.
291
00:17:23,585 --> 00:17:25,295
You gonna have me killed,
like Rebecca Shearer?
292
00:17:25,295 --> 00:17:28,089
- Ms. Adobo, control your witness.
- Mr. Chopin.
293
00:17:28,089 --> 00:17:31,260
You smug little prick. You're just--
You're at the center of this problem--
294
00:17:31,260 --> 00:17:33,595
Humanity's frying,
and you look at the temperature
295
00:17:33,595 --> 00:17:35,472
as an inconvenience
that you just have to tweak
296
00:17:35,472 --> 00:17:37,349
to optimize
your latest investment strategy.
297
00:17:37,349 --> 00:17:40,018
You're the guy who--
who kicks the dog half to death,
298
00:17:40,018 --> 00:17:42,479
- and then offers it a bone.
- Dr. Chopin, I must ask you
299
00:17:42,479 --> 00:17:44,606
- to not address the defendant directly.
- [Nick] Let him speak.
300
00:17:44,606 --> 00:17:47,568
He needs the therapy.
Let it all out, Johnny boy!
301
00:17:47,568 --> 00:17:49,570
- [bailiff] Order. Order!
- [scoffs]
302
00:17:50,153 --> 00:17:51,488
No further questions.
303
00:17:52,489 --> 00:17:53,490
Dr. Chopin,
304
00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:59,371
your son, Rowan, is currently in prison
for geoengineering, isn't that right?
305
00:17:59,371 --> 00:18:02,082
Yes. He, uh-- [inhales deeply]
306
00:18:02,624 --> 00:18:07,004
He was convinced to participate in a--
in a scheme by my ex-wife.
307
00:18:07,004 --> 00:18:08,088
Convinced?
308
00:18:09,131 --> 00:18:12,467
More likely he was confused
over your change of heart on the issue.
309
00:18:12,467 --> 00:18:14,761
Rowan Chopin is not the one on trial here.
310
00:18:14,761 --> 00:18:15,888
No, he's not.
311
00:18:16,597 --> 00:18:19,725
But I think it's important to note
that your son's conviction
312
00:18:19,725 --> 00:18:24,271
for using Alpha delivery drones
to commit an act of terrorism was secured
313
00:18:24,271 --> 00:18:27,482
after Mr. Bilton gave secret testimony
to this court.
314
00:18:27,482 --> 00:18:29,109
I'm sorry, what did you say?
315
00:18:29,109 --> 00:18:30,194
I'm sure that's upsetting,
316
00:18:30,194 --> 00:18:32,905
but I'm wondering if your son's liberty
has not been offered to you
317
00:18:32,905 --> 00:18:35,991
- in exchange for your testimony today.
- I made no such deal!
318
00:18:35,991 --> 00:18:38,243
I have no arrangement whatsoever. None.
319
00:18:39,369 --> 00:18:43,498
I move to dismiss this witness
and his testimony be deemed inadmissible.
320
00:18:45,501 --> 00:18:49,546
- [chimes, beeps]
- [judge] Sustained.
321
00:18:49,546 --> 00:18:51,131
[bailiff] The witness is dismissed.
322
00:19:00,015 --> 00:19:01,433
I wanna testify.
323
00:19:01,433 --> 00:19:03,060
My father is a great man.
324
00:19:03,936 --> 00:19:05,229
Help me record something?
325
00:19:05,229 --> 00:19:06,522
I can do that for you.
326
00:19:12,194 --> 00:19:13,278
Who is Decima Bilton?
327
00:19:14,738 --> 00:19:16,240
How do you know that name?
328
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:17,950
She claims to be your daughter.
329
00:19:19,368 --> 00:19:21,912
[inhales deeply]
You're not to mention that name again.
330
00:19:21,912 --> 00:19:24,164
She'd like to testify on your behalf.
331
00:19:24,706 --> 00:19:25,707
[zipper opens]
332
00:19:27,292 --> 00:19:29,002
[Turner] She's recorded something.
333
00:19:30,712 --> 00:19:32,422
It's very touching stuff.
334
00:19:34,091 --> 00:19:35,092
Destroy it.
335
00:19:36,134 --> 00:19:37,135
Immediately.
336
00:19:38,178 --> 00:19:42,099
You saved an orphan
from a refugee camp in Sydney. [chuckles]
337
00:19:48,063 --> 00:19:49,690
[Nick sighs]
338
00:19:49,690 --> 00:19:51,275
[Turner] What are you doing?
339
00:19:52,276 --> 00:19:53,902
- [device crunches]
- [Turner] Nick.
340
00:19:55,612 --> 00:19:56,613
[sighs]
341
00:19:59,783 --> 00:20:02,911
[breathing deeply]
342
00:20:02,911 --> 00:20:06,790
[Alpha] Your NatureFix simulation
will begin in five seconds.
343
00:20:07,624 --> 00:20:11,170
You have selected "Autumn Woodlands"
with mood-balancing enhancements.
344
00:20:11,170 --> 00:20:12,254
[sighs]
345
00:20:33,567 --> 00:20:34,568
[sighs]
346
00:20:44,786 --> 00:20:46,205
How do you like the venison?
347
00:20:47,206 --> 00:20:48,248
Exquisite.
348
00:20:49,750 --> 00:20:51,752
Real or lab?
349
00:20:54,046 --> 00:20:56,590
We keep a small herd of deer
on the property.
350
00:20:56,590 --> 00:20:59,551
- This is all real.
- Hmm.
351
00:21:00,344 --> 00:21:05,849
And this, this is the last pinot
from the Anderson Valley.
352
00:21:06,350 --> 00:21:09,478
2053. Before it burned.
353
00:21:17,486 --> 00:21:20,822
The rest of the world has to get by
on fantasy and facsimile, Martha.
354
00:21:22,991 --> 00:21:25,244
Most everything in my life is very real.
355
00:21:25,244 --> 00:21:27,579
[Martha] Hmm. Does that bother you?
356
00:21:30,249 --> 00:21:31,750
[Nick] Does what bother me?
357
00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:34,711
That the rest of the world
has to get by on fantasy?
358
00:21:40,342 --> 00:21:41,760
[sighs]
359
00:21:44,054 --> 00:21:46,473
No, what bothers me is hypocrisy.
360
00:21:48,058 --> 00:21:51,895
What bothers me
is wanting comfort and ease,
361
00:21:51,895 --> 00:21:54,815
and then being outraged by its real cost.
362
00:21:55,774 --> 00:21:59,486
You burn coal for a few hundred years
to keep yourself warm.
363
00:21:59,486 --> 00:22:00,904
Seems like a great idea.
364
00:22:01,822 --> 00:22:04,116
Makes you feel like you defeated winter.
365
00:22:05,117 --> 00:22:07,286
And one day, you wake up nice and toasty,
366
00:22:07,286 --> 00:22:10,497
only to realize
you've developed lung cancer
367
00:22:10,497 --> 00:22:13,166
from inhaling the smoke
from burning all the coal.
368
00:22:15,544 --> 00:22:17,546
And yet you keep burning coal.
369
00:22:18,297 --> 00:22:22,718
Because the most powerful fantasy
is that there is no cost to our comfort.
370
00:22:24,303 --> 00:22:26,555
Life is a transaction, Martha.
371
00:22:27,556 --> 00:22:29,892
That is its most meaningful measurement.
372
00:22:32,060 --> 00:22:33,770
I never thought of it that way.
373
00:22:33,770 --> 00:22:37,482
Well, I'd like you to start.
374
00:22:43,363 --> 00:22:46,450
[buzzing, whirring]
375
00:22:56,543 --> 00:22:57,794
- [gasps]
- [chimes]
376
00:22:57,794 --> 00:23:00,172
- Turner.
- [Turner] Yes?
377
00:23:00,172 --> 00:23:02,007
Rebecca Shearer's autopsy...
378
00:23:02,508 --> 00:23:03,675
[Turner] What about it?
379
00:23:05,093 --> 00:23:08,263
"...has revealed irregularities
in her medications
380
00:23:08,263 --> 00:23:10,849
- as delivered by Alpha Therapeutics."
- [Turner sighs] Bullshit.
381
00:23:10,849 --> 00:23:12,643
Well, that's what it says right here
382
00:23:12,643 --> 00:23:15,938
in the goddamn summons
the ICC just dropped on my head.
383
00:23:15,938 --> 00:23:18,232
[Turner] They've got nothing.
They're desperate.
384
00:23:18,732 --> 00:23:20,943
They're going to ask for records.
385
00:23:21,443 --> 00:23:23,737
What would Nick like me to do about that?
386
00:23:24,321 --> 00:23:27,407
[Turner] As little as possible,
lest you fuck this up.
387
00:23:27,908 --> 00:23:28,909
[device chimes]
388
00:23:31,912 --> 00:23:33,163
[Martha] An opportunity.
389
00:23:33,747 --> 00:23:37,292
That's what you call it?
An opportunity to lose my job.
390
00:23:37,292 --> 00:23:39,378
The truth is dangerous to some people.
391
00:23:40,629 --> 00:23:41,630
No comment.
392
00:23:42,631 --> 00:23:45,843
We have reason to believe
he's tampered with other witnesses.
393
00:23:45,843 --> 00:23:46,927
Have you been threatened?
394
00:23:48,053 --> 00:23:49,680
[inhales deeply, sighs]
395
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,516
I took a loyalty oath. Hence the avatars.
396
00:23:52,516 --> 00:23:55,686
I am prepared to offer you immunity,
Dr. Russell.
397
00:23:56,270 --> 00:23:58,105
In exchange for your testimony.
398
00:23:58,105 --> 00:24:01,942
And how do I explain that to Turner?
He's chief counsel.
399
00:24:01,942 --> 00:24:05,112
Obviously, you would need
to keep our arrangements confidential.
400
00:24:06,405 --> 00:24:09,992
Ms. Adobo,
privacy went extinct 25 years ago.
401
00:24:10,576 --> 00:24:12,035
Along with whistleblowers.
402
00:24:12,035 --> 00:24:15,414
Is there a secret you're concerned about?
Something with Newcomen?
403
00:24:19,334 --> 00:24:21,461
Newcomen is no different than LifePause.
404
00:24:21,461 --> 00:24:24,631
Just because he didn't think of it,
doesn't mean he can't buy it.
405
00:24:25,757 --> 00:24:28,886
You're not going to win against him.
Nobody ever does.
406
00:24:28,886 --> 00:24:30,304
[hologram chimes]
407
00:24:32,639 --> 00:24:34,641
[sighs]
408
00:24:36,059 --> 00:24:37,352
[Lucy] Selma,
409
00:24:38,270 --> 00:24:43,400
get me every IP acquisition Alpha made
since Jonathan Chopin was fired.
410
00:24:44,818 --> 00:24:46,486
[Lucy]
Would you state your name for the court?
411
00:24:46,486 --> 00:24:47,946
Arden Miller.
412
00:24:48,530 --> 00:24:50,199
Who is Matafele Kabua?
413
00:24:51,491 --> 00:24:54,828
[Arden] Matafele and I
met in Boston in 2060.
414
00:24:55,329 --> 00:24:56,663
[Lucy] In what capacity?
415
00:24:56,663 --> 00:24:58,582
- [Arden] In microfinance...
- [Decima] Who is that?
416
00:24:58,582 --> 00:25:00,167
...with a focus on female entrepreneurs.
417
00:25:00,167 --> 00:25:02,085
Mr. Bilton is a great humanitarian.
418
00:25:02,085 --> 00:25:06,798
Were you aware that the bank that employed
you had a relationship with Alpha?
419
00:25:06,798 --> 00:25:08,342
No, I was not.
420
00:25:08,342 --> 00:25:11,178
And when you learned that they did,
what was your response?
421
00:25:11,178 --> 00:25:12,095
I resigned.
422
00:25:12,095 --> 00:25:14,348
Because of what happened
with Matafele Kabua?
423
00:25:14,348 --> 00:25:15,265
[Arden] Yes.
424
00:25:17,351 --> 00:25:18,936
[Lucy] And what exactly happened?
425
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:22,231
Alpha was able to use our loans to women
426
00:25:22,231 --> 00:25:24,816
as an incubator
to generate new inventions.
427
00:25:24,816 --> 00:25:27,069
I think I speak
on behalf of everyone in saying
428
00:25:27,069 --> 00:25:31,907
I have no idea who Matafele Kabua is
or why this person here is relevant.
429
00:25:31,907 --> 00:25:35,285
Can you enlighten Mr. Turner
and the court?
430
00:25:35,285 --> 00:25:36,870
She was from the Marshall Islands.
431
00:25:37,913 --> 00:25:41,124
When they became uninhabitable,
she moved to the United States,
432
00:25:41,625 --> 00:25:44,711
where she attended
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
433
00:25:44,711 --> 00:25:46,839
Her degree was in atmospheric chemistry.
434
00:25:47,339 --> 00:25:50,050
She had a product
that she wanted to finance.
435
00:25:50,634 --> 00:25:52,052
[Lucy] And what did this product do?
436
00:25:52,052 --> 00:25:56,390
She claimed that it was
the first viable carbon-removal device.
437
00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:59,476
She asked for our help
in developing and patenting it.
438
00:26:00,060 --> 00:26:03,772
So, a device that could
make the planet carbon-neutral?
439
00:26:03,772 --> 00:26:05,607
[Arden] She believed
it could do more than that.
440
00:26:05,607 --> 00:26:08,861
She believed that it could
draw down carbon to a target level.
441
00:26:08,861 --> 00:26:10,279
And what would that level be?
442
00:26:10,279 --> 00:26:14,908
That would depend on a mutually agreed
upon number determined by scientists.
443
00:26:17,619 --> 00:26:18,829
Or businessmen.
444
00:26:22,583 --> 00:26:25,043
[inhales sharply]
What was my mother's name?
445
00:26:25,544 --> 00:26:26,962
Your mother's name is unknown.
446
00:26:26,962 --> 00:26:30,132
You were rescued from
the displaced person facility in Sydney.
447
00:26:31,091 --> 00:26:34,595
Alpha, tell me everything
about Matafele Kabua.
448
00:26:34,595 --> 00:26:36,555
Alpha has no record of this person.
449
00:26:38,223 --> 00:26:40,726
- [breathes heavily]
- [Nick] Right.
450
00:26:40,726 --> 00:26:43,312
And if it had worked, none of us
would be sitting here right now.
451
00:26:43,312 --> 00:26:44,813
But obviously it didn't,
452
00:26:44,813 --> 00:26:47,774
or people wouldn't constantly
be uploading themselves
453
00:26:47,774 --> 00:26:49,943
- to escape this unbearable climate.
- [bailiff] Order.
454
00:26:49,943 --> 00:26:52,905
And hundreds of millions of refugees
wouldn't be roaming the Earth
455
00:26:52,905 --> 00:26:54,156
looking for higher ground.
456
00:26:54,156 --> 00:26:55,616
- [bailiff] Order!
- Nick, please.
457
00:26:58,952 --> 00:27:01,288
I apologize for my client's outburst.
458
00:27:01,288 --> 00:27:03,373
But can you explain to the court
459
00:27:03,373 --> 00:27:06,585
why any of this is relevant
to the charges in front of us?
460
00:27:07,169 --> 00:27:10,464
Who controls the patent
to Ms. Kabua's device?
461
00:27:11,507 --> 00:27:15,928
My understanding is that Alpha holds
49% interest in the Decima.
462
00:27:16,929 --> 00:27:17,930
The Decima?
463
00:27:17,930 --> 00:27:19,640
She named the device after her daughter.
464
00:27:20,224 --> 00:27:21,391
[gasps]
465
00:27:21,391 --> 00:27:23,435
[Arden] Ms. Kabua's terms included
466
00:27:23,435 --> 00:27:26,021
that the controlling interest
be part of her inheritance.
467
00:27:26,021 --> 00:27:28,315
[AI Servant] Mr. Bilton
has made the world a better place.
468
00:27:28,315 --> 00:27:30,317
And he is sure you will do the same.
469
00:27:31,818 --> 00:27:33,904
Fuck him. [breathes shakily]
470
00:27:35,322 --> 00:27:36,615
- [Nick] It failed.
- [bailiff] Order.
471
00:27:36,615 --> 00:27:39,535
- It's evident it never worked!
- Nick, please.
472
00:27:39,535 --> 00:27:43,163
So then you wouldn't object to
sharing the IP with the court?
473
00:27:43,163 --> 00:27:44,831
The design. Mmm?
474
00:27:44,831 --> 00:27:49,253
I mean, why would sharing
a failure be problematic?
475
00:27:51,588 --> 00:27:54,800
We at Alpha prefer
to keep what we own to ourselves.
476
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,345
A failure is just
a rough draft of a solution.
477
00:27:58,846 --> 00:28:04,434
I mean, did Kabua go on and invent
anything else that saved humanity?
478
00:28:05,018 --> 00:28:06,144
No, she did not.
479
00:28:07,145 --> 00:28:10,983
She died nearly ten years ago.
Paramyxovirus 58.
480
00:28:10,983 --> 00:28:12,067
And her daughter?
481
00:28:12,067 --> 00:28:15,821
In my line of work, we look for new ideas,
not lost children.
482
00:28:17,573 --> 00:28:21,243
Thank you, Ms. Miller.
Thank you so much for your time.
483
00:28:21,243 --> 00:28:23,120
[Turner] If you wanna win here, Nick,
484
00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:26,498
you need to tell me where the holes are,
or we'll keep falling through them.
485
00:28:29,459 --> 00:28:31,253
What Verdictware are they running?
Do you know?
486
00:28:31,837 --> 00:28:32,880
What, the court?
487
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:34,923
[Nick] Is it E-Justice by Royce Majors?
488
00:28:35,841 --> 00:28:37,259
I can get to Colin Royce.
489
00:28:37,759 --> 00:28:39,887
I don't like the idea
of both of us going away
490
00:28:39,887 --> 00:28:42,181
for hacking
the International Criminal Court.
491
00:28:46,059 --> 00:28:47,060
[sighs]
492
00:28:47,895 --> 00:28:50,355
[Nick]
Well, we can't wait any longer, Turner.
493
00:28:51,064 --> 00:28:52,858
Time to save the world.
494
00:28:55,152 --> 00:28:56,278
[Martha] "Innovation."
495
00:28:57,279 --> 00:29:03,118
Seems such a slight word for the scope
of change we are about to witness.
496
00:29:04,494 --> 00:29:07,247
In 2020, the IPCC reported that,
497
00:29:07,247 --> 00:29:10,542
to avoid the worst ravages
of climate change,
498
00:29:10,542 --> 00:29:13,587
carbon-neutral
needed to be reached by 2050.
499
00:29:13,587 --> 00:29:15,672
The world failed to meet that goal
500
00:29:16,173 --> 00:29:19,343
and the next goal
and the one after that as well.
501
00:29:19,343 --> 00:29:25,015
As a result, we have seen exactly
what the science warned us against.
502
00:29:26,308 --> 00:29:32,189
But today, Alpha Atmospheric Interventions
announces "Newcomen,"
503
00:29:32,689 --> 00:29:38,904
the first scalable device that removes
carbon dioxide from the air around you
504
00:29:38,904 --> 00:29:44,034
and transforms it
into safe and useful by-products.
505
00:29:44,535 --> 00:29:47,704
{\an8}Today, we begin a new journey.
506
00:29:48,205 --> 00:29:50,874
{\an8}One that allows us to create a climate
507
00:29:50,874 --> 00:29:56,880
{\an8}that provides what is best for our planet,
its people and our businesses.
508
00:29:57,464 --> 00:30:01,218
A planet where children
can walk among wildflowers...
509
00:30:06,181 --> 00:30:08,851
instead of merely drawing them.
510
00:30:11,353 --> 00:30:12,396
[Nick] So, ready?
511
00:30:12,396 --> 00:30:13,605
[Martha] For?
512
00:30:14,314 --> 00:30:16,024
Dessert, I suppose.
513
00:30:16,525 --> 00:30:19,444
I, uh, would like to introduce you
to some people.
514
00:30:21,905 --> 00:30:23,073
Who?
515
00:30:23,073 --> 00:30:25,868
Friends. Shy friends.
516
00:30:27,119 --> 00:30:30,038
So I'll, uh,
need you to put this on first.
517
00:30:32,708 --> 00:30:33,792
Um...
518
00:30:36,670 --> 00:30:37,963
I don't understand.
519
00:30:39,298 --> 00:30:40,299
Please.
520
00:30:43,343 --> 00:30:44,344
[scoffs]
521
00:30:49,683 --> 00:30:51,685
[industrialists chattering, arguing]
522
00:30:51,685 --> 00:30:54,563
[industrialist 1]
It can't be 417. That's not gonna work.
523
00:30:54,563 --> 00:30:55,647
[chattering]
524
00:30:55,647 --> 00:30:58,025
[industrialist 1]
Gentlemen, we have to reach an agreement.
525
00:30:58,025 --> 00:31:01,195
It's not gonna work that way.
It can't be 510.
526
00:31:01,195 --> 00:31:03,238
[Nick] 350. Did I hear 350?
527
00:31:03,238 --> 00:31:05,449
- [industrialist 1] It can't be 350.
- [industrialist 2] 480.
528
00:31:05,449 --> 00:31:06,992
[industrialist 3] 480's too high.
529
00:31:06,992 --> 00:31:09,620
- [industrialist 2] 550.
- [Nick] 550 is way too high.
530
00:31:10,829 --> 00:31:12,039
[industrialist 1] 470.
531
00:31:12,039 --> 00:31:14,041
[Nick] 470 is a good number!
532
00:31:14,041 --> 00:31:15,250
[inhales shakily]
533
00:31:15,250 --> 00:31:17,794
[industrialist 4] Do you understand
what we've been discussing?
534
00:31:19,087 --> 00:31:21,256
Yes. [stammers] I believe I do.
535
00:31:21,757 --> 00:31:24,218
And do you understand
the agreement we've reached?
536
00:31:25,177 --> 00:31:27,804
[Martha] Newcomen, I assume.
Uh, the drawdown.
537
00:31:27,804 --> 00:31:32,017
Bravo.
I told you she was brilliant. [chuckles]
538
00:31:32,017 --> 00:31:33,185
[applause]
539
00:31:35,187 --> 00:31:37,147
[industrialist 4]
And the agreed-upon number?
540
00:31:37,147 --> 00:31:39,650
[Nick] 470 parts per million.
541
00:31:40,943 --> 00:31:44,905
It's higher than I would've thought.
I-- I'd like to see the science.
542
00:31:44,905 --> 00:31:47,407
[industrialists groan,
whisper indistinctly]
543
00:31:48,909 --> 00:31:50,369
Loyalty, dear Martha.
544
00:31:51,495 --> 00:31:54,081
You don't want to go down
the same path as Jonathan.
545
00:31:55,207 --> 00:31:59,336
I think you'll find 470
a very rewarding number.
546
00:32:09,930 --> 00:32:11,056
We're not done yet.
547
00:32:12,432 --> 00:32:16,353
We'll now take questions from both
our invited guests and the press.
548
00:32:17,688 --> 00:32:19,231
Let's start with you, Mr. Palmer.
549
00:32:19,231 --> 00:32:21,733
[Palmer] It's a great day for the world,
to be sure.
550
00:32:21,733 --> 00:32:24,862
I'm wondering if Martha
and Mr. Bilton have discussed
551
00:32:24,862 --> 00:32:26,572
a target number for the drawdown.
552
00:32:26,572 --> 00:32:27,656
[Turner] Great question.
553
00:32:27,656 --> 00:32:30,993
Uh, Mr. Bilton has been sequestered
in the Hague, so there are...
554
00:32:30,993 --> 00:32:32,911
[crowd cheering]
555
00:32:34,413 --> 00:32:38,125
- [applause]
- [people whistling]
556
00:32:41,503 --> 00:32:43,130
[cheering]
557
00:32:48,510 --> 00:32:50,220
Sounds like a party out there.
558
00:32:51,138 --> 00:32:52,598
I wonder how these people would feel
559
00:32:52,598 --> 00:32:56,185
if they knew that this party
could have started years ago, eh?
560
00:32:56,185 --> 00:32:59,062
That Bilton and the banks
traded their wealth for what?
561
00:32:59,855 --> 00:33:03,400
A few more dollars,
faster planes, bigger houses.
562
00:33:04,359 --> 00:33:08,363
[Tyrone] But they don't really know
what's going on, or they choose not to.
563
00:33:08,363 --> 00:33:10,115
[crowd cheering]
564
00:33:10,115 --> 00:33:13,744
And they won't
until you figure out a way to tell them.
565
00:33:18,540 --> 00:33:21,376
[sighs] I realize that recent events
566
00:33:21,376 --> 00:33:25,881
surrounding Alpha's latest offering
appear to exonerate Mr. Bilton,
567
00:33:25,881 --> 00:33:27,466
but the question remains.
568
00:33:27,466 --> 00:33:31,595
Is the solution to carbon,
which conveniently appeared today
569
00:33:32,596 --> 00:33:34,348
for our benefit or for his?
570
00:33:36,016 --> 00:33:38,268
Are we responsible only for what we do,
571
00:33:38,268 --> 00:33:40,521
or should we also be held accountable
572
00:33:40,521 --> 00:33:43,524
for what we elected
not to do when we knew better?
573
00:33:46,568 --> 00:33:50,322
I ask you to keep asking this question,
regardless of the verdict.
574
00:33:51,573 --> 00:33:53,825
For you will be the ones to live with it.
575
00:34:02,668 --> 00:34:04,878
Mr. Bilton would prefer
to speak for himself.
576
00:34:12,678 --> 00:34:16,431
Four million years were required
for Homo sapiens
577
00:34:16,431 --> 00:34:19,685
to go from crawling on all fours
to standing upright.
578
00:34:21,186 --> 00:34:25,732
So how could our bodies adapt
to the changes in the climate
579
00:34:25,732 --> 00:34:31,029
that have occurred in the 250 years
since the Industrial Revolution?
580
00:34:31,612 --> 00:34:32,614
They couldn't.
581
00:34:34,908 --> 00:34:37,077
So if our bodies couldn't change,
582
00:34:37,744 --> 00:34:43,208
it fell to our minds to develop technology
that would allow us to survive,
583
00:34:43,208 --> 00:34:45,418
maybe even thrive.
584
00:34:46,837 --> 00:34:51,049
Carbon has gone from 280
585
00:34:51,049 --> 00:34:55,012
to 564 parts per million,
586
00:34:55,012 --> 00:34:57,931
due in a large part to human activity.
587
00:35:00,350 --> 00:35:04,062
Today, thanks to the Newcomen,
588
00:35:04,062 --> 00:35:09,484
I can announce I will be lowering
that number to 470 parts per million.
589
00:35:11,111 --> 00:35:17,409
Now, some, including the prosecutor here,
would have you believe
590
00:35:17,409 --> 00:35:19,661
that I have gamed the system,
591
00:35:20,954 --> 00:35:23,540
profiteered from your circumstances.
592
00:35:23,540 --> 00:35:29,630
That I am some Satan forcing you
to live lives you would never have chosen.
593
00:35:29,630 --> 00:35:33,091
To seek comforts
you didn't actually want or--
594
00:35:33,592 --> 00:35:38,514
or suppress information
that you truly needed.
595
00:35:40,974 --> 00:35:45,020
But Nick Bilton did not create
your God-given appetites.
596
00:35:46,063 --> 00:35:50,108
He merely noticed them
and turned them into businesses.
597
00:35:51,318 --> 00:35:55,948
The rules I have played by
are the rules set by your leaders.
598
00:35:56,823 --> 00:36:01,453
The ones you elected.
The ones sworn to protect you.
599
00:36:01,453 --> 00:36:03,539
They did not.
600
00:36:04,915 --> 00:36:06,041
Instead,
601
00:36:07,125 --> 00:36:12,297
they traded away your children's future
for just one more term,
602
00:36:13,173 --> 00:36:14,925
one more donation.
603
00:36:17,803 --> 00:36:22,516
And now,
those leaders are not the ones on trial.
604
00:36:23,433 --> 00:36:24,643
I am.
605
00:36:27,604 --> 00:36:29,815
So allow me to point out the obvious.
606
00:36:31,567 --> 00:36:33,443
If I am guilty here today,
607
00:36:34,695 --> 00:36:39,575
then I am only guilty of winning
a game started generations ago.
608
00:36:41,076 --> 00:36:46,790
And if I am guilty here today, then so are
your parents, and their parents,
609
00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:51,378
and all the way back to
the first tree felled to make way for man.
610
00:36:53,380 --> 00:36:56,341
Some are guilty
611
00:36:57,467 --> 00:37:00,596
of furnishing the generations
with what they wanted.
612
00:37:02,639 --> 00:37:07,102
The rest of you are guilty for wanting it
in the first place.
613
00:37:26,330 --> 00:37:27,748
[Turner whispers] Beautiful.
614
00:37:27,748 --> 00:37:29,499
Will the defendant please stand?
615
00:37:33,504 --> 00:37:36,757
To the charge of ecocide
against Nikolai Biltonov,
616
00:37:37,341 --> 00:37:41,094
the International Criminal Court
will now announce its final decision.
617
00:37:42,095 --> 00:37:45,891
A minimum of two red lights
will be required for a verdict of guilty.
618
00:37:56,485 --> 00:37:57,611
[chimes]
619
00:38:00,197 --> 00:38:01,198
[beeps]
620
00:38:06,370 --> 00:38:07,788
[chimes]
621
00:38:09,206 --> 00:38:12,042
[bailiff] Mr. Bilton has been ruled
not guilty of the charge.
622
00:38:17,381 --> 00:38:19,132
[Turner whispers] Congratulations.
623
00:38:19,132 --> 00:38:22,344
[Alpha user 5] Alpha, will Nick Bilton win
the Nobel Peace Prize?
624
00:38:22,344 --> 00:38:25,472
[Alpha] It's too early to say.
Nominations are due later this year.
625
00:38:25,472 --> 00:38:28,559
[Alpha user 6] Why is the Newcomen
only taking carbon to 470 ppm?
626
00:38:28,559 --> 00:38:31,270
[Alpha] The amount of carbon parts
per million has been set by...
627
00:38:31,270 --> 00:38:33,897
[Alpha user 7] Is Newcomen the most
beneficial invention of the century?
628
00:38:33,897 --> 00:38:35,816
[Alpha users speaking indistinctly]
629
00:38:42,531 --> 00:38:44,783
{\an8}[Alpha user 8] Alpha,
when will things start to get better?
630
00:38:44,783 --> 00:38:48,704
{\an8}[Alpha] Alpha would encourage you
to find what is good about right now.
631
00:39:25,908 --> 00:39:26,742
[sighs]
632
00:39:26,742 --> 00:39:29,036

[sighs]
635
00:39:42,466 --> 00:39:43,550
Oh.
636
00:39:46,637 --> 00:39:47,971
What's your name?
637
00:39:47,971 --> 00:39:49,097
Decima.
638
00:39:49,598 --> 00:39:51,433
Where did you come from?
639
00:39:52,559 --> 00:39:54,311
I'm Mr. Bilton's new daughter.
640
00:39:54,811 --> 00:39:58,941
You are?
I didn't know Mr. Bilton had a daughter.
641
00:39:59,775 --> 00:40:01,693
I think I'm supposed to be a secret.
642
00:40:04,696 --> 00:40:06,406
Do you have any friends here?
643
00:40:07,449 --> 00:40:10,536
Just the AIs. They play with me.
644
00:40:12,412 --> 00:40:14,248
Do you have any human children?
645
00:40:14,748 --> 00:40:15,916
[Martha] No.
646
00:40:15,916 --> 00:40:19,670
No, I don't. But I could be your friend.
647
00:40:21,380 --> 00:40:22,214
[bag opening]
648
00:40:22,214 --> 00:40:26,802
If you ever need a friend,
you can call me using that.
649
00:40:27,636 --> 00:40:28,637
I'm Martha.
650
00:40:31,640 --> 00:40:32,808
[chuckles]
651
00:40:43,986 --> 00:40:44,987
[chimes]
652
00:40:46,488 --> 00:40:47,948
I know it's been a long time.
653
00:40:49,533 --> 00:40:50,868
I hope you remember me.
654
00:40:52,411 --> 00:40:54,830
[acoustic guitar playing on speaker]
655
00:40:59,042 --> 00:41:00,669
[Tyrone sings through speaker, indistinct]
656
00:41:00,669 --> 00:41:05,883
From what I can remember,
losing can be very painful.
657
00:41:05,883 --> 00:41:07,926
What are you doing here?
658
00:41:09,595 --> 00:41:11,805
[singing continues]
659
00:41:16,643 --> 00:41:18,478
I'd like to make a peace offering.
660
00:41:20,522 --> 00:41:23,525
To me? Or to the world, huh?
661
00:41:24,526 --> 00:41:25,903
To you, Lucy.
662
00:41:26,486 --> 00:41:27,821
And what might that be?
663
00:41:29,323 --> 00:41:35,204
Tyrone Downs was your, uh, lover,
if I'm not mistaken.
664
00:41:36,205 --> 00:41:37,956
Remarkably effective chap.
665
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,627
Nearly shut down our mines.
666
00:41:42,878 --> 00:41:44,713
I enjoyed a number of his songs too.
667
00:41:46,173 --> 00:41:48,383
I wonder how that
would have made him feel.
668
00:41:49,510 --> 00:41:51,762
Yeah. We'll never know.
669
00:41:53,722 --> 00:41:58,185
But his death must've been, uh,
devastating for you.
670
00:41:59,978 --> 00:42:02,814
And I thought
you might like to know who ordered it.
671
00:42:06,318 --> 00:42:07,319
[Nick sighs]
672
00:42:18,205 --> 00:42:19,456
Rest assured,
673
00:42:20,707 --> 00:42:25,921
you will have my full support
in bringing the guilty party to justice.
674
00:42:27,297 --> 00:42:28,632
[breathes shakily]
675
00:43:01,540 --> 00:43:04,042
Are you saying
that one man with a microphone
676
00:43:04,042 --> 00:43:05,878
is more powerful than our entire company?
677
00:43:06,545 --> 00:43:07,713
Seriously?
678
00:43:08,547 --> 00:43:11,758
This sort of thing spreads
if you don't hit it hard.
679
00:43:12,759 --> 00:43:14,052
Just make him go away.
680
00:43:20,350 --> 00:43:22,186

00:43:35,115 --> 00:43:38,160
So tired, Ty. And so sad.
682
00:43:41,538 --> 00:43:42,873
Okay, so what's next?
683
00:43:49,505 --> 00:43:54,343
If you could make someone pay
for hurting someone you loved in the past,
684
00:43:54,927 --> 00:43:58,764
or if you could maybe stop someone else
from hurting others in the future,
685
00:43:58,764 --> 00:44:00,224
which one would you choose?
686
00:44:03,268 --> 00:44:04,811
The past is always the past.
687
00:44:07,773 --> 00:44:12,569
The most successful hunters
have more patience than hunger.
688
00:44:20,744 --> 00:44:21,745
[breathes shakily]
689
00:44:29,086 --> 00:44:30,921
- Alpha...
- [Alpha chimes]
690
00:44:31,922 --> 00:44:33,215
...stop loop.
691
00:44:36,051 --> 00:44:38,470
Close Tyrone Candle App.
692
00:44:39,638 --> 00:44:40,806
[chimes]
693
00:44:44,893 --> 00:44:46,144
[exhales shakily]
694
00:44:59,950 --> 00:45:01,285
[Lucy] I know what you did.
695
00:45:03,912 --> 00:45:05,080
How did you get in here?
696
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,293
Oh, it's easy when you have an arrest
warrant for conspiracy to commit murder.
697
00:45:09,293 --> 00:45:12,254
Even easier
when the man you killed was my partner.
698
00:45:12,254 --> 00:45:14,006
[inhales sharply] Let me guess.
699
00:45:14,006 --> 00:45:17,259
He neglected to mention
that Alpha planted that story.
700
00:45:18,594 --> 00:45:22,347
"Music icon gunned down
by schizophrenic outside hotel."
701
00:45:23,182 --> 00:45:24,266
I believed it.
702
00:45:25,017 --> 00:45:27,352
I know Bilton only gave you to me
on a silver platter
703
00:45:27,352 --> 00:45:29,104
because he has something to hide.
704
00:45:31,481 --> 00:45:32,900
Yes. Yes, he does.
705
00:45:32,900 --> 00:45:34,484
You want to tell me what it is?
706
00:45:35,485 --> 00:45:36,737
You have nothing to lose.
707
00:45:40,949 --> 00:45:41,950
[sighs]
708
00:45:48,874 --> 00:45:50,542
[Martha] Her name is Decima.
709
00:46:01,011 --> 00:46:04,181
Can we, uh, ask the breeders
to release some new pheasants?
710
00:46:04,181 --> 00:46:06,433
[grunts] I'd like
to do some shooting later.
711
00:46:07,476 --> 00:46:09,770
[grunts, panting]
712
00:46:14,107 --> 00:46:16,026
I said I'd like to do some shooting.
713
00:46:17,402 --> 00:46:20,322
Alpha! Can we get tech support down here?
714
00:46:21,657 --> 00:46:23,075
Alpha!
715
00:46:25,327 --> 00:46:26,328
Decima?
716
00:46:28,914 --> 00:46:30,749
Alpha, tech support!
717
00:46:32,501 --> 00:46:33,502
[breathes heavily]
718
00:46:34,086 --> 00:46:36,672
[industrialists chattering]
719
00:46:49,393 --> 00:46:51,019
[chattering, arguing]
720
00:46:56,984 --> 00:46:57,985
Alpha, stop.
721
00:46:57,985 --> 00:46:59,945
[chattering continues]
722
00:46:59,945 --> 00:47:01,113
Stop!
723
00:47:02,281 --> 00:47:04,366
[Decima]
It's been programmed to ignore you, Dad.
724
00:47:07,744 --> 00:47:09,288
[breathing shakily]
725
00:47:15,502 --> 00:47:17,212
Where are you, my darling? Hmm?
726
00:47:18,505 --> 00:47:20,090
What are you doing, Decima?
727
00:47:22,217 --> 00:47:24,386
This is not
something these people need to see.
728
00:47:24,386 --> 00:47:28,640
You could have fixed it years ago,
but you didn't.
729
00:47:29,141 --> 00:47:30,309
You and your friends.
730
00:47:30,893 --> 00:47:33,896
470 is just a way
for the rich to get richer.
731
00:47:33,896 --> 00:47:35,939
How can you possibly justify that?
732
00:47:38,150 --> 00:47:39,151
350.
733
00:47:40,152 --> 00:47:41,737
That's the right number
for the rest of us.
734
00:47:41,737 --> 00:47:44,156
- Decima!
- I'm not a daughter to you!
735
00:47:44,656 --> 00:47:46,241
I'm a piece of IP.
736
00:47:46,992 --> 00:47:51,538
Based on the new evidence
presented here today by Decima Kabua,
737
00:47:51,538 --> 00:47:55,083
we move to reopen
the case against Nick Bilton.
738
00:47:58,295 --> 00:47:59,546
[chimes]
739
00:47:59,546 --> 00:48:01,131
[breathing heavily]
740
00:48:02,716 --> 00:48:03,759
[beeps]
741
00:48:24,947 --> 00:48:26,281
[Decima] Is that where he is?
742
00:48:27,366 --> 00:48:28,367
On that one?
743
00:48:28,951 --> 00:48:32,037
There are a few prisons in orbit.
Not sure which one that is.
744
00:48:32,538 --> 00:48:35,749
When he gets out, he'll be almost 90.
745
00:48:37,042 --> 00:48:39,795
Maximum penalty for collusion.
746
00:48:42,673 --> 00:48:45,467
Do you think carbon will be down
to 350 parts per million by then?
747
00:48:46,426 --> 00:48:49,263
Mmm, hasn't been that low since the 1980s.
748
00:48:49,930 --> 00:48:51,390
But it could be again, right?
749
00:48:52,349 --> 00:48:53,684
I don't know. Maybe.
750
00:48:54,601 --> 00:48:57,938
You know,
the problem has never been technology.
751
00:48:58,981 --> 00:49:01,984
The problem is us. Always has been.
752
00:49:04,653 --> 00:49:06,446
We did this to the planet.
753
00:49:07,614 --> 00:49:08,949
To each other.
754
00:49:09,449 --> 00:49:10,450
Ourselves.
755
00:49:13,370 --> 00:49:14,913
I think we're gonna fix it now.
756
00:49:16,039 --> 00:49:17,040
Yeah?
757
00:49:17,875 --> 00:49:19,168
I wonder.
758
00:49:36,518 --> 00:49:38,520
[prison announcement system]
Attention, all inmates,
759
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:40,230
please return to your cells.
