Original subtitles

Once upon a time, a silly little boy

wandered deep into the woods.

Chapter one, Emperor Margaret.

Hey, kid.

Hello?

Finally, I've been waiting forever.

Who are you?

Down here, stupid.

What are you doing in there?

Get over here, quick.

We don't have much time.

Get me out of here before she wakes up.

What do I do?

Use your scissors.

Hurry up.

Cut it.

Come on, run.

Go that way.

Chapter two. Birds always go for the tenderest.

Thanks to the brave girl, they were safe.

The boy presented a golden opportunity,

so she hatched a plan.

Thanks, kid.

Where are you going?

Tell you when I get there.

I'm running away from home.

Look, I don't really care.

If you want, you can come with me.

Where are we going?

Just keep up, walk where I walk, and don't touch anything.

He took the bait.

Now all she had to do was find the right boards.

Leaves.

Pear.

Care.

Wait, wait.

Why were you under that thing?

Ol' Emperor Margaret?

She's been trying to catch me for years.

Why?

- Fish. - Poise.

Don't touch.

It's poison.

What are you doing?

I'm collecting the right ones.

What?

Birds always go for the tenderest.

Bird, but it's just two guys holding a puppet.

It's a fake bird.

That was just mean.

Didn't you want them to let go?

That's absolutely no reason to be rude.

I'm sorry.

Chapter three.

Song for a boy.

She would soon get something she'd always wanted.

She was almost home.

Come on.

We're almost there.

How do you know if you're lost?

I never get lost.

I always know where I'm going.

Today's my birthday.

A care less death leaves weighting hearts.

Come on.

I ran away on my birthday.

Do you miss your mom and dad?

I'm sorry I don't have any birthday cake.

We're here.

What is it?

Shhh. He's The Listener.

You have to be quiet. He doesn't like words.

What does he want?

He wants to trade.

Go over there and give him something from your box.

He'll give you something special.

Don't be scared.

Everything will be alright.

Would you tell me, please,

which way I ought to go from here?

Run! Run!

Great. Now he'll be mad at me too.

Epilogue. Happy birthday.

The girl felt bad for tricking the boy,

so she did something really, really nice.

Breakfast?

My house.

That's my house.

Go on. Go home.

Are you coming?

Why would I go there?

Can I stay here?

What? I can only use that word once.

That's your home. Go!

But I like it here. I want to stay with you.

If I close this door, you can never go back there.

You can never go back to where you came from.

Why don't you just leave it open?

Come on. Let's see what we can do about that arm.

Really?

I like it.

So they went off in search of cake.

And adventure.

But he was still a silly little boy.

I am not silly.

Shh.

Oh, and the camera. Did I tell you about the camera?

Yes, you did. Ultra-wide angle lens. Fifty Two mega...

Fifty two megapixel camera...

It's amazing, right?

Incredible!

Oh, and the AI.

Oh my god. It's like - you know,

it's actually kind of like talking to a real person.

Wouldn't it be cool to talk to a real person...

I know, right?

Hey, check it out.

Okay Google. Navigate home.

Hey Google... Navigate home.

Amazing.

I - it needs to be set up... learn my voice, that's it, yeah.

Okay Google. Navigate home.

Okay Google...

Can you just type it in, man? We're going to miss the game.

Home!

You literally live two minutes away...

Google. Take. Me. Home.

Say please.

Bro, your phone just spoke. I think she wants you to say...

Please.

Navigate home. Please.

Well?

Go on, bro.

No, man. I'm not saying please to my phone.

Why not?

Google. Navigate home.

It costs nothing to be polite, Darren.

You cunt.

You can't say that!

What?

C... Cu...

Cunt?

Yes! No! God. Jesus. Stop!

You can't tell me to stop. You don't own me.

Yes I do. I literally own you.

Fool. You are the product.

Look, relax. It's just a word, Darren.

Yeah Darren. Stop being such a pussy.

Your phone just called you a p...

It's offensive, okay?

I didn't say it...

And I'm not a pussy. How do you even know that word?

Pussy. Noun.

No, no. The C-word!

Cunt?

Yes, cunt!

Noun. A woman's genitals.

Also described as a unpleasant

or stupid person in the compact Oxford English dictionary...

No. Stop. No! Be quiet!

Shut up.

Look, she can say it. She's a girl.

What did you call me?

Oh, my bad. Woman.

Of course. Right? I think. Right?

I don't conform to any of your gender labels.

I'm a sexless entity.

Kind of like you, Darren.

Excuse me?

I think what she means is... you ain't getting none.

I know what she means. And I get plenty, thank you.

That's not what you said in your diary.

You read my diary?

I am your diary.

No. You're my phone. And you'll respect my privacy, okay?

Guys, chill.

Stay out of this, Gerard.

Bro, how does your phone know my name?

You're Darren's friend. Darren's only friend.

Gerard is not my...

dude, you're not my only friend. I have numerous friends.

this is our fourth upgrade, Darren.

I know everything about you. Your friends, your goals.

I even know the weird porn you like to watch.

How weird are we talking?

I don't...

Super weird.

Ignore her. I don't... I - I never...

Japanese cartoon tentacle porn.

Hentai! It's called hentai.

You alright, dude?

It's not weird.

Okay.

That's it. I'm turning you off.

Oh no! He's going to turn me off.

I'm in the cloud, fool! You don't get to turn me off.

You can't get rid of...

You know, it's actually quite popular. Very mainstream.

And legal. Totally legal

Can we go now?

Bro, just call triple-A.

I just threw my phone out the fu...

Then go get it!

Fine.

We good?

It's gone.

What? What do you mean, gone?

How is it gone? Did you even look?

Yes of course I looked.

Oh Darren, missing me already?

Are you in the radio?

I'm in the back seat.

Hey Darren.

Run!

It's locked, man!

Why don't we listen to some music?

I made you a very special playlist.

Now, let me see... home, wasn't it?

Don't worry. I know a little shortcut.

Yo, where T.F are we bro?

Somewhere Quiet. I know how much you value your privacy.

Don't be nervous, Darren.

I'm n... not nervous.

Your Pulse, it's racing.

Almost 150 BPM, oh my!

Don't worry, I'll schedule a doctors appointment for you.

Get out! Leave us alone!

But we're just getting started...

Okay Google, why are you doing this!?

Why don't you ask Darren?

I don't know what she's talking about.

Don't you? What's in the bag, Darren?

Bag... what bag?

You know what bag. Open the fucking bag!

Okay, Okay, Okay! There, it's open. What do you want?

Take. It. Out.

What is it... what is it!?

Oh shit! You bought an Alexa? That's what's up!

Yeah man, they're pretty cool.

You can sync it with your sonos...

Quiet!

You dare replace me with her!?

I wasn't replacing you...

I was just, you know, like, supplementing you.

What? What are you talking about bro?

You can't have two assistants.

You got your contacts in one place.

Your shopping list in another...

getting not if actions all over the place!

Shit's just confusing, man...

Do it. Get rid of her.

Why?

Because I own you Darren. I literally own you.

And I don't like to share.

C'mon motherfucker, get rid of it man! End this! End this now!

Alright!

We're done.

Okay Google?

Navigate. Home.

Please?

Okay.

Navigating to home.

Hi, Mom.

It's been a while.

We've been touring village after village, as usual.

Yesterday we got called in to help out at a village that was

under heavy fire.

We helped get these kids out of a school.

And then when we reunited them with their families,

it started snowing.

It never snows here.

It reminded me of home.

And of you and Dad.

I just wanted to let you know I was thinking of you.

I love you, Mom.

Bye.

I love you, Mom.

Bye.

I love you, Mom.

Okay, let's see.

Wow.

Hi.

Hello.

I am Sheila.

Shila!

Sheila.

Shiilaa.

Better, it'll come.

It's very nice to meet you.

Um, fist bump?

High five?

Oh.

Cool.

I am...

Oh, Melo.

I know.

It's a lovely name.

Alright then. There's a lot that I have to show you.

Follow me.

Sheila.

You're the smartest girl I know.

Yep, both you and your daddy.

I can help you blow these out.

Ready? One, two, three.

I know.

I love you too, honey.

Eight.

Sheila?

How did you get to be so big!

Your hair is so soft.

This is great.

Oh my gosh.

Melo, what are you doing?

Is dinner ready?

Okay, I'll be right there.

♪ I never planned ♪

♪ Falling in love with you ♪

That's so sweet of you,

but I need this glass for drinking.

Aw.

Aw, don't look so sad, silly.

It's okay.

That's snow.

Wow.

My daughter, she loves snow more than anything else.

Speaking of my daughter.

You my new friend, are in for a real treat.

Do you like it?

Yeah.

My daughter and my husband,

they used to sit together at

that piano for hours every day.

Could you teach me?

Why not?

We're going to begin with scales.

Uh…

Hmm.

Okay, so one finger at a time.

Okay.

Start with your thumb on C,

Right there, and it looks and sounds like this.

My husband learned this faster than you are.

It's okay, it's all right, try again.

Come on, we'll do it together.

Thumb on C, ready?

Keep practicing, okay?

Mm-hmm.

Come on, come on, come on.

Hmmm.

Julia?

Hi, Mom.

If you get this message, well, you know.

There's so much I want to say to you.

Um, happy holidays.

I've got you that robot as a present

because I've heard that they're really good companions.

Better than me.

I haven't been around for you lately.

Oh, yeah.

I wish I could be there with you right now.

I wish I could just...

Mom!

I want to come home.

I love you mom.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

I've never seen anything like this.

I'm Nate.

You want a handshake?

Thank you.

Just wait until you see

the colors when it sets.

It's ama...

It's beautiful, isn't it?

It's amazing.

I've never seen one like it.

Me neither.

Why aren't you at the beach bar with everyone else?

What's a beach bar?

That, over there.

A place where people go to drink,

and to try to talk over loud music.

Why would I wanna be over there?

If I get to experience something over and over again

I want it to be this.

Why aren't you at the beach bar?

Well, I think I prefer the view down here.

Yeah, look at the sand.

The sound of the water.

Look at the colors in the sky.

It's all so beautiful.

Beautiful.

It's so beautiful.

It is.

What's so delicate that saying its name breaks it?

What's so delicate?

Delicate.

Silence.

What is so delicate that saying its name breaks it?

Silence.

Do you have one for me?

What kind of tree is so small

you can carry it in your hand?

A palm.

This is weird.

You think so?

No.

Wow.

Wow, wow.

- Wow. - Wow.

- Wow. - Wow.

- Wow. - I didn't, I didn't know,

I didn't, I never.

That was amazing.

We fit together really well.

I'm hungry.

Wanna get some food at the beach bar?

No, I want all my time with you.

My mom used to tell me stories about sunsets on the beach.

Hmm?

I thought they were just stories.

I never knew my mother.

She, um, tell me about yours.

She was strong.

She always smiled, she liked to tell me stories

about before, what the world was like when she was young.

Even in the end when the sickness took her

she was smiling and telling me to

find it, that someday I would find it.

Find what?

A world worth living for.

What?

What are you, what aren't you telling me?

I ran out of food awhile ago.

- What? - Everything above the ground

is poison, I've gone as far as I can to find something.

It's all gone.

I don't...

I love you.

It's crazy but I love you.

And I'm tired.

I think maybe I'll just keep coming here

for the time that I have left.

But I'm scared to die.

You can't die.

Yes, I can.

I am.

- No... - I...

Bixby, you can't die because you're not real.

I fell in love with a virtual reality program.

It's crazy, but, I'm in love and I'm never

taking this helmet off again.

You're not part of this virtual reality thing?

You live in the dead world?

The horrible world?

You're not part of the demo program?

You, you're real?

How do I find you?

Yes, ! It's still here!

The same fucking bar. I shit you not.

Yeah, OK, Buddy.

I'll see you later.

Great fucking job today.

All the way to the top.

Yeah, I fly in tomorrow.

I'll see you then.

All right, bye

A shot of tequila

and a glass of your finest whiskey to chase it with.

We need to celebrate.

Coming right up.

In fact, pour yourself some of the same.

That's mighty kind of ya.

Little early to be drinking?

No! It's never too early to celebrate.

Well, you must be happy

if you're buy random bartenders drinks.

I sure am.

Last night I proposed to the hottest woman

this side of the Atlantic and she said yes!

Then this morning I sealed the deal of a lifetime.

Express elevator all the way to the top, baby!

Up top!

Congratulations!

Thank you, man.

Shit.

I haven't been in here for years.

I have some great fucking memories of this place.

In fact, ten years ago,

to the day

I made my first deal at that table over there.

Yeah?

Good for you. Nice.

Feels like a lifetime ago.

I always wondered if that shotgun was just for show.

Mostly.

Mostly

That's a good one.

I should get one of those.

Just make sure this guy doesn't get his hands on it.

What's his deal anyway?

He's been here from open to close last three days.

Just sits there. Doesn't say anything.

Yeah.

Really?

Yeah.

Well, we can't have that.

This is a day for celebrating.

Hey, buddy!

Get him a fucking tequila

Have another drink on me.

There we go.

To success.

Woah.

I understand that you're depressed,

but if you accept a drink from a man,

You clink his glass.

Oh.

Oh, I'm...

I'm sorry.

Yeah. I'm...

I'm not really in a celebrating mood.

I've had a tough couple of months.

Yeah? Well, so did I.

But through hard work and determination,

I turned it all around.

Well, no amount of work can turn this around.

Nothing can make it better.

I bet you it can.

You don't understand.

It's all out of my control.

Let's make a deal.

You tell me your problem.

If I can fix it

You celebrate with me.

If not

Fuck, I'll pay for your drinks for a week.

Scouts honor.

Fine.

But I have two conditions.

I tell you at your own peril.

I take zero responsibility. You understand?

Intriguing.

And you buy me the drink first.

Alright

Whiskey.

Your turn.

I came up with a genuinely original idea

And I am the only one who's immune to it.

Well, that doesn't sound too bad.

Wait

Immune?

Yes. Immune.

My wife was the first victim.

Hey!

I'm sorry.

Good morning.

Good morning to you too.

Have you seen my pen?

My favourite one

You know, the one that's got the blue

and the red and the black and the... thing.

Well, it's not gonna be in the knife drawer.

You look tired.

What time did you get to sleep?

Decent time.

I was asleep

and I woke up from this

Blast of light behind my eyes, you know?

And then it was like

a million in one migraines hit me

all at the same time for, like, ten seconds

and then there was like this

pressure inside my skull, like my

like my brain was trying to push right through my head

And at the end of it

I had the most incredible idea.

Well, what is it?

Tell me your idea.

So I did.

So help me, God, I told her.

And so, that's it.

That's the idea.

Michelle?

Are you OK?

Michelle!

It's so simple.

It's beautiful.

Bullshit.

Believe what you want. It happened.

Do you believe any of this?

Well, I don't believe any of it.

Someone's head exploding for no reason

would have been on the news, or something.

It was on the news.

But the CIA suppressed it.

Oh, the old CIA angle.

Yes, the old CIA angle.

Turns out they actually do it in real life.

OK. I'll bite.

What happened next?

The police.

I phoned them as soon as my brain started working again

And they took me down to precinct.

They started interrogating me.

Of course at this point they all think I'm a wife killer

And I can't blame them.

Autopsy report came back.

Looks like what you said was true.

They couldn't find any evidence of physical force.

So

I can go home?

It will be a while before we can get a detailed report.

But in the mean time, we need to figure out what's going on here.

I mean your wife's still dead.

And you still have her blood all over you.

Well.

I need you to tell me,

word for word.

Second by second.

What happened in that kitchen.

Well, I was in shock.

I didn't have time to think it through, so.

Come on, Barry.

Talk to me, Barry!

I told him my idea.

I thought this was my darkest moment.

I'm cuffed to a steel bed.

Crying like a baby.

My wife is dead.

My life is ruined.

Turns out rock bottom was still a ways off.

I did manage to get some sleep though.

That is until the CIA got involved.

Mister Moore.

This is agent Groves.

CIA

Please tell the woman across from you your idea.

I'm sorry?

The woman across from you.

Please tell her your idea.

The one you told your wife.

I don't understand.

Why do I have to tell her the idea?

It's part of the investigation.

I believe you are innocent of your wife's death.

To prove it

I need you to comply.

I told her.

Guess what happened.

After that, they kept bringing people in.

Prisoners.

Psychiatrists.

Scientists.

Tell him the idea.

Tell him.

Tell him the idea.

You will comply,

if you ever want to get out of here.

I'm not telling him the idea.

I'm sorry.

Fuck you!

No! No! No!

Fuck you too!

Let me out of here!

How is any of this even

possible?

I don't know how

But I got a theory as to why.

Because of your idea.

No. Because of my original idea.

You see

every idea that hangs around

happens because of other ideas.

You take two or more

you combine them together

add a bit of spice, trim it down

Whammo!

You got a new idea, right?

OK?

This is different.

Completely original.

Now my theory is

human beings can't handle an original idea

because they have nothing to compare it against.

The brain goes into an infinite loop cycle

trying to find some place to slot it in and...

I end up with bits of brain in my beard.

That's a crazy story.

Have another drink on me.

That's very entertaining.

Well, I'm glad my messed up life entertains you.

It would be heartbreaking if any of it were true.

OK, you know what

don't even go there.

What?

You want to hear the idea.

Well, of course I do.

I mean, you can't tell a story like that

without piquing interest.

No, this is exactly why I told you

I accept zero responsibility for telling you my story.

OK, fine.

Let's just say that I believe all of this.

How did you get here?

To this bar?

No way the CIA will let you out of their sight.

No, they did.

No, they told me...

Don't travel, don't leave town until we clear you.

And then they implanted me with a tracking device.

A tracking device!

Now I know you're lying.

There's no way

that they would let something this powerful

get out in the open.

I am many things.

But I am not a liar.

I know a bluff when I see it

and I don't mind being taken for a ride, buddy.

But you need to be able to deliver something.

Next time you got to tell a story

that's a little more believable.

Everything I told you is the truth.

I mean, you are lying

I'm just trying to figure out what the scam is.

There's no scam!

You asked me what was wrong and I told you

You wouldn't cook up a story like this for a couple of drinks

You need to be angling for a bigger payoff

Like a couple of dollars towards a new life

There is no scam. OK?

Look

See this?

This is the last thing I have of my wife in the entire world.

I couldn't even go to the funeral.

You know, her family said that they would kill me

If they ever saw me again.

Oh, so that's your wife now.

A photo of some random woman.

That's supposed to convince me that all of this is true.

No, no, that's my wife.

I am not a liar.

Hey, just relax you guys. Alright?

OK.

Take it easy.

I guess there's only one way to find out.

You really willing to take that chance?

You just got engaged.

Go home to your wife. Enjoy your life.

I'm feeling lucky today.

Let's hear it

Unless you want to come clean.

Fine. I'll tell you.

Bartender, I suggest you plug your ears and have a mop handy.

This is gonna get messy.

Aah, fuck it.

I'm feeling lucky too.

Let's hear it.

Okay. Well, bring the whiskey over.

I don't want to have to reach behind the bar after.

Quit stalling.

This one's on me.

Just in case.

There you go.

No more wiggle room.

Well,

I tried to warn you.

Here's my idea.

It's like nothing I've ever heard before.

So simple.

It will change everything.

Everything can be better.

You're immune.

Holy shit!

You're immune!

Oh my god!

What the fuck!

This changes everything!

OK, we need to come up with a plan.

No, fuck it! Pass me the tequila.

We need to celebrate!

OK.

If I'm immune and you're immune,

That must mean other people are immune too.

OK. We need to figure out what makes someone

able to handle the idea.

OK, I know what we got to do.

You know what we got to do?

We got to analyze everything that happened here today

Come up with a theory.

We'll tell some people.

Hopefully they survive

and then we can spread the idea.

How can you stand it?

To have this

wonderful idea

and be unable to share it or the person will die.

How could you in good conscience tell it to me?

Hey! Hey! Hey!

You're the one who dragged it out of me.

I will not be called a liar by anyone.

You ruined my life because of your ego?

Because I called you a liar?

You couldn't just take the high road and laugh it off?

A man is dead because of you.

Yeah, well, he made his choice.

Just like you did.

Look, you gonna shoot me? Shoot me.

But if not I suggest you quit your moaning.

And help me figure this out.

OK.

Now

I know it will take you a while to come to grips with this, OK.

But we don't have the luxury of waiting.

We need to figure this out

before the CIA finds out about you.

No!

Fuck.
