(minimal, dramatic music)
(machine beeping) (woman breathing shallowly)
(plastic crinkling)
- Mom.
(machine beeping) (woman breathing shallowly)
Mom?
(electricity popping)
(dramatic music intensifying) (electricity popping)
Dammit.
Ah.
(door opening)
- Omni, diagnostics.
- [Omni] Power, optimal.
Projections, optimal.
Sensory recall, optimal.
Holographics, very poor.
Upgrade vital, third party software not compatible.
I sense tension. - I sense tension.
I'll give you tension, Omni. - The time is 9:17.
Wait, what? - The time is 9:17.
- No, okay, got it, thanks.
Nuts. - I sense tension.
(door opening)
- Check your phone. - Hello, Shea.
Wow, ah, I know you have a thing for me,
but this is heading toward restraining order territory.
- We have the biggest presentation of our careers
and this is how you act?
You'll be the end of me. - I sense tension.
- Really? - Oh, come on.
Okay, listen, just, just relax a little bit, all right?
Just there it is, that's the spot.
You all right?
Okay. - Hey, Teddy,
we start in 15 minutes, okay?
Bullet points. - Okay.
- Thanks for attending our demonstration
on memory rehabilitation for those recovering
from Alzheimer's. - Combination
of nanotechnology pharmaceuticals and-
- Natural practice of sensory recognition.
Five distinct senses for our specific memory.
Listen, I know you're up to something.
So whatever it is, get it done fast.
I won't keep working your schedule for you.
- Okay.
- She'd be proud of you, Ted.
For what you're doing here.
- No, no, no, no.
What we are doing here.
Okay, listen, Shea,
we are going to knock this out of the park.
All right?
Yes, absolutely.
And by the end of it,
we will have changed the landscape on this stupid disease.
All right? - Okay.
(Ted exhaling sharply)
- Gotta go.
Wait, Teddy? - Yeah, gotta go, gotta go.
Gotta go. - Hey, you're not as clever
as you think.
(door opening)
Yeah, don't act like I'm an idiot.
(foreboding music) (footsteps approaching)
(device beeping)
(door opening)
(air hissing) (foreboding music continues)
(door opening)
- Ah!
Um, Dr. Rose was.
- Just come with us, Doctor.
- [Ted] Okay.
- We found an intruder in our top tier level five
classified alpha laboratory. - What's that?
- Exactly.
She showed up outta thin air in our most secure room.
No camera footage showed her entering.
No ID.
(door opening)
(lively, dramatic music)
We're running a DNA profile now.
(door closing)
- What does she have to do with me?
- We found this on her person.
- [Ted] That would do it.
- It's on you.
We'll be watching closely.
- Can I get you a coloring book,
or juice box, or anything?
(speaking foreign language)
- I studied French in middle school, I can translate.
- I don't know what you're-
(speaking foreign language)
- Uh, le Francais.
(speaking foreign language)
- Ooh, I think I got that one.
She said close your.
(device warbling)
(electricity bursting)
(tense music)
(door opening)
(door shutting)
(siren sounding)
- We can help each other, Theodore.
You give me your ID,
and I can get you to see your mother again.
- What?
- Stand by.
- How do I know I can even trust you?
- You don't, that's why they call it trust.
Stands still.
(device humming) (tense music continues)
(electricity bursting)
(man grunting)
(electricity bursting) (woman yelling)
- Ted, what the heck?
Wait, who's that?
- Um, no idea.
Here's your card, um.
I'm proudly fired.
I'll call you.
Take care of yourself.
- [Shea] It's okay, everyone,
it's just an exercise, stay calm.
Nevermind, it's not, go, go, go, go.
(tense music continues)
(metal banging) (device warbling)
(bag crumpling)
- [Obee] You keep yourself occupied, don't you?
- Yeah, well, an idle mind is a brain,
hey, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
What do you think you're doing?
Stop, stop touching.
Stop touching, okay?
Start talking instead.
Now that I can breathe a minute.
- What about?
- Um, lemme see, I don't know.
Where are you from?
How did you get in the alpha room?
Why are you in my life right now?
What's your favorite color?
You know, things like that.
- 2068, sent to recall passphrase.
Blue.
- Let's go back to that 2068 part.
(dramatic music)
- The year 2068. - Pardon interruption, sir,
but it's the girl's DNA.
And you really need to see this.
(dramatic music continues)
- Detain Dr. Rose right now. - Yes, sir.
- So, if you're from 2068, and time travel exists,
they haven't had any progress in the orthodontics industry?
Red flag says, aye.
- You know, it's strange how the man who denies time travel
will ever exist is the same one who, in fact, invents it.
- What?
(device humming)
- Your fellow employees and their muscle
are coming here now.
- You said you would help me see her again.
Why? - It might be hard
for you to believe. - Oh God,
in all ways, go for the grand slam.
- In 2068, memories, knowledge, emotions, and information
can all be hacked.
And this time, a tyrant has taken control
with only one mind he hasn't tapped into.
Yours.
You created a kill switch if you fell into the wrong hands.
You would kill you.
But your secrets wouldn't be the enemy's property.
We have you back but in a comatose state.
It's these secrets that can overthrow him and revive you.
There's a passphrase we need to do so.
The prompt is why it began.
(machine beeping)
- I left her on her last night alive.
Her brain deteriorated, a vegetable.
Skinny.
I left her.
Why?
I don't know, I don't know.
She wouldn't have left me.
Her baby.
So I try to go back, even though it's not real,
to be with her, to not leave.
(Ted exhaling sharply)
There are two types.
There are two types of potent memories.
Ones of great regret,
and one's- - Of great love.
- How do you?
- You can't run from everyone forever.
You can't shut everyone out.
You have to love again.
Trust again, not be alone.
- No one to know, no one to lose.
- And also no one to get.
Now, stop feeling sorry for yourself.
Stop focusing on the negative.
It's bleeding you.
People die, Theodore.
And even more will if you don't help me.
Now, come on.
Remember the good times.
Even the small ones, Ted.
My name is Myobee Shea Mann.
And I am your granddaughter.
- Are you now?
(device humming)
- [Omni] Unauthorized personnel approaching Dr. Mann.
- I need the phrase.
Countless lives depend on it.
Grandpa, I can get you to her.
- Love, like death, changes everything.
(device humming)
That's gotta be it.
- Shea, huh? - Did you get it?
That was it.
Now we need to retrofit this more for travel.
Latest holographics upgrade?
- Yeah, yeah.
(tense music)
(device humming)
- [Omni] Hello, Myobee, how may I help you this time?
- Omni five, run it.
- [Omni] Sequence initiated.
Subject must enter.
- Get in.
You help me, I'll help you.
Your conscience will still go back.
We won't have much time when you're there.
- With her in the hospital, right?
(tense music continues)
- Obee!
(device warbling)
(dishes rattling)
(poignant music)
Scoot over.
All right?
- I'll finish up.
Go on, have fun.
- Aw, I don't know.
You know, a lot of times, my friends just.
(mother screaming)
Oh, I got you straight through.
Oh yeah.
(poignant music continues)
