All language subtitles for I Am Mortal 2021 1080p BluRay REMUX AVC DTS-HD MA 5 1-PiRaTeS

Once upon a time,
the world was a mess.

There was a pandemic
and then another.

And then another.

Life, as the human race knew it,

was a disaster in every
sense of the word.

Then one day a scientist
came along

with the genetic discovery
that changed everything.

He shared his vision
with the world.

It was a solution so incredible
and epic in scope

that life on earth
would not only resume,

but it would be like living
in a fairy tale.

A chance to live
in a perfect world,

an eternal dream.

The problem was

no one really thought through
the consequences.

Soon, my life changes forever.

I'll be given the gift of
being frozen in time.

The gift of never dying.

A gift that everyone
on this train and in this city

either has or will receive.

Arrival.

Wildzone.

The problem is, I'm not
so sure I see it as a gift.

C.S. Lewis once said that free
will makes evil possible.

But it's also the only thing
that makes possible love.

Goodness.

Joy.

It seems so romantic...

the notion of living forever,

doesn't it?

But I ask you this.

How can you really live...

if you know you're never
going to die.

I am immortal.

We at the machine are immortal,

and you, all of you
can be immortal, as well.

Life as we know it is
forever changed.

I will not only give each
and every one of you

the gift of eternal life,

but I will also give you
the gift of freezing in time

when you have reached
your peak perfection.

I will eliminate,
through our applications,

the bad and most ugly
of our human emotions,

and I will eliminate suffering
from injury and illness

and emotional duress.

I am The Pilot taking you
into this new world.

And I will always serve you.

As you all know,
200 or so years ago,

The Pilot gave birth
to our society.

No one had to die ever again.

Some didn't follow him, though.

That's correct.

Unfortunately,
they all eventually died.

Once The Pilot's reprogramming
of the genetic code took effect,

the world and its people

functioned much more
efficiently.

We saw the end of war, borders,
and political divide.

We became one nation.

Let's take a look at
the process of the Code.

Shem application.

Of course, all of you
know what it is,

but I bet it's pretty amazing
to see such

an extraordinary event
with your own eyes.

Extraordinary depends on
how you look at things.

In this moment, this woman will
be frozen in time forever

because, as deemed by The Pilot,

she's reached her peak potential
as a human being.

For most people,
this happens around age 25.

Some younger, some older.

For me, that time is now.

The most important day
of my life,

the day I become immortal
is just days away.

- Pretty incredible, isn't it?
- I should be excited.

- But I'm not.
- Right, we better get going.

Almost late for lunch.

And filled with fear.

Welcome to
the Alisandre train station.

I feel alone,

like no one else
sees the world the way I do.

Deep down, I know I can't be
the only one that thinks

these things,
feels these things.

The problem is,
in the society I live in,

it's too dangerous to try
and find them.

- I don't have a lot of time.
- Who are you?

The way you're thinking,
you are not crazy.

- What do you mean?
- Reach me when you're ready.

It's safe. When you use it,

our communication
won't be monitored.

Reach you?

Why would I do that?

But maybe they just found me.

Who are they?
What did she give him?

I don't know.

The heart rate escalated,
and the camera sensed it.

Whatever it is, she didn't
want anyone to know.

- Hi.
- You seem surprised to see me.

I am. Very.

Why are you here?

The Pilot has something he needs
from my department,

and I think you might
be able to help.

The Pilot? Are you serious?

I thought you might be excited.

What is it he needs me for?

I believe he'd like to
tell you that himself.

Welcome.

It's a pleasure
to meet you Akae.

Thank you. Pleasure's all mine.

I'm a very proud citizen
of Alisandre.

You were right about her.

You're a guardian
in training, correct?

It's been a lifelong
dream of mine.

It's wonderful to hear someone
have such a great desire

to help keep harmony
and balance in our city.

Let's see if we can't get you
one step closer to that dream.

This man here is a terraforming
engineer by the name of Logos.

He was approached by this woman,

a benign citizen
by all accounts.

Both of them are, actually.

Is there any reason
these two people

shouldn't be communicating?

Not that we know of.

She handed something to him.

What is that?

That's what we'd
like to find out.

Probably nothing.

We need someone who
isn't yet a guardian.

We think you're the
perfect person for the job.

Hello?

Is there anyone there?

- Logos?
- Yes.

We're glad
to hear from you.

Who's we?

Let's talk in person.
I'll tell you more then.

Where should we meet?

Mind Center to learn
more about The Pilot

and the ultimate gift
he has given us.

Glad you came.

Just wanted to say how great
it was seeing you and Elomina

for dinner the other night.

Elomina?

Yeah, it was great.

It's always nice to get together
with friends.

Friends are very important.

Always good to know
when you meet one.

Here are the guardian reports
from this week.

Is there anything from Akae?

Turned out to be nothing.

Are we sure?

While I agree that their initial
interaction was concerning,

Akae listen to their
entire conversation

from start to finish.

And I assure you, there's
nothing to be worried about.

I'd like her to keep going.

Are you certain?

There was nothing she said
that indicated...

I'm sure!

Is there something
I should know?

A man named Helias used
to work with The Pilot.

He was a defective individual
who concocted something

that The Pilot
describes as a virus,

something intended
to destroy the Code.

Helias was rehabilitated,
his mind wiped clean.

But The Pilot fears
his ideas remained,

that somehow
they were passed down.

And he thinks that
the women Logos met

might be one of these people.

Maybe.

Probably not, if you ask me.

But he wants us...

You... to make sure.

I didn't think anybody reads
those things anymore.

What is it?

Just a book.

"Being and Nothingness."

Sounds heavy.

Kind of.

I get it.

Get what?

Wanting to read
something like that.

You must be getting your
Code confirmation soon.

I am.

Frozen in time
in your most perfect state.

The ultimate gift.

That's what they say.

What do you do?

I'm an engineer.

Terraforming.

I work at Nescience.

Are you a guardian?

No. Tour guide.

I walk children around
the museum of our society

and tell them about
how Shems work

and how lucky we are
to get them.

Do you believe
what you tell them every day?

I don't know.

Seems like something you might
want to figure out.

It does.

Arrival. Nescience.
Doors opening.

This is me.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

You too.

We couldn't find you earlier,
so we put together

the schedule
for tomorrow and posted it.

I was just out for a bit.

I had a couple things
I had to do.

Thanks, Suria. I appreciate it.

- Do you need anything else?
- I want you to look into

a citizen for me.

He goes by Logos.

You're sure no one followed you?

I'm sure.

The simplest explanation

is that we're trying
to spread the truth.

There's an entire world of
citizens just outside these

doors that believe they live a
perfect life in a perfect world.

But you're not like them.

And neither are we.

It's clear you're not on
your Maintenance,

that you're opening your eyes
for the first time.

But I'm on my Maintenance.

I've never missed a dose.

- That's impossible.
- It's true.

I don't know how or why
this is happening to me.

We are just like you.

This is where you belong.

You can go back to your life,

your book, or you can join us.

Everyone in this world
deserves the chance

to see things the way we do.

You know that.

- How?
- Follow us.

Are you developing an antidote
to the Maintenance?

We've created a method
to reduce the efficacy

of the Maintenance.

So yes, an antidote of sorts.

Medorin has been instrumental
in the process.

She's a polymath.

She knows more about the Code
and Maintenance than anyone,

thanks to the manual
we located of a man

who worked very closely
with The Pilot many years ago.

Before humans live forever.

His shorthand was a bit
difficult to interpret,

but ultimately,
after some trial and error,

we were able to get it right.

Who is this person?

Helias was his name.

Arcade is our resident
historian.

There's not much about
the creation of Alisandre

that he doesn't know.

Sometimes I think there are
far more unknowns than knowns.

Originally Helias worked
closely with The Pilot

in the development
of the Code and Maintenance.

But once the Code was completed
and implemented worldwide,

Helias discovered
that The Pilot had gone further.

The Pilot had modified genes

that had nothing to do
with health or longevity.

Helias started asking questions.

The Pilot, of course,
didn't approve of his probe.

The trust was gone.
They parted ways.

The Pilot began
to wipe the minds

of all of the original models.

Helias became the only immortal,
other than The Pilot,

to have memories of
mortal existence.

The Pilot collected and stored
the information

in his data center.

Where is he now?

The Pilot eventually had Helias
captured and rehabilitated.

That's a nice way to say
they erased his mind,

killed him without killing him.

We all see it.
What he showed us.

When you reduce Maintenance,
you begin to change.

Maintenance contains
mood stabilizers.

So you essentially become
a muted version

of the person
you're supposed to be.

Which is why we want to alter
the Maintenance,

lower its potency so that
everyone in Alisandre

can experience for a few moments

a version of what real
human existence feels like.

And then what?

Well, removing the Maintenance
only gives us

an edited version
of the human experience.

None of us can really understand
what it feels like to be human

without the stakes of human
life, without being mortal.

Are you talking about
destroying the Code itself?

I remember you telling
me that Helias' belief

in mortal religion was flawed.

I didn't know you
could still remember

that long ago.
I thought we removed that data.

I remember you telling me
that mortals needed religion

because they were
afraid of dying.

But with immortal beings,
there is no fear of death

and so no need for religion.

Religious citizens talked about
being alive for

a god given purpose,
that their time on earth

was intentionally difficult

and that they were each given
a soul, which was a mortal.

That was the logic
of primitive minds.

Of course, I always knew
that science and technology

were the real gods.

Their god never works for
the greater good of the world.

Mine always did.

Humans, um...

The human condition
needed to evolve.

What about Helias?

What did he believe?

You're full of questions
tonight.

Why don't we get back
to the game?

At the beginning,

Helias was a secular
as they come.

When we were at Harvard,

he never mentioned
religion, ever.

Well, he was a true scholar,
and he believed

that technology would be
the answer to human suffering.

Many people started to move
toward that direction

at that time.

Helias started to believe that
the human body is a machine,

and he was right.
We started to work on this idea

that... that this machine
could be perfected

so that it could go
on and on forever.

Now, that was an exciting time,

when we first
started our company

and we... we grew our group
of scientists and geneticists.

We started to feel
that we were really going

to be able to do it.

For the greater good, right?

Of course.

Wake up. Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Can you hear me?
Wake up, wake up.

Wake up.

Where's your book?

I'm sorry.

Your book, what was it?

"Being and Nothingness."

How is it?

There's too much
on my mind to read.

I know the feeling.

You do?

I do.

Who are you?

My name is Akae.

Logos.

Nice to meet you, Logos.

Likewise.

Can I ask you something?

You already have.

That's true.

But something a bit more...

personal.

Depends on what
you want to want to ask.

Do you take your Maintenance?

Why would you ask that?

It just seems
that you don't.

Do you?

Seems like a question
neither of us want to answer.

But I get the sense we've got
a lot in common.

I need to understand
how you plan on doing this.

You figured out a way
to reduce the Maintenance,

but getting access
to the supply is impossible.

Difficult, yeah,

but I wouldn't say impossible.

Few things truly are,

as long as you have faith.

I scouted the facility
and used the fader to scan for

vulnerabilities
in the structure.

As a terraforming engineer,
I'm sure you're well aware...

that there are no weaknesses.

The construction materials
of the building

were embedded with
synthetic composites

that make getting in
from the outside impossible.

So I used the fader to scan
the surrounding infrastructures.

What did you find?

All of the capital buildings
are connected

by a sort of underground maze.

Wouldn't it be just as difficult
to gain access to those tunnels?

Yeah, unless you knew someone

who worked in
one of the capital buildings.

In fact, as all of you know,

Alisandre is
currently celebrating

its 200th year living with
the gift of immortality

that was given to us
by The Pilot.

Speaking of which, follow me
and we'll head to

Shem application, so we can
get a firsthand look.

Uh, I'll be back
in just one moment.

Um, Chasan will take you ahead.

I'll be back.

Follow me.

What are you doing here?

The answer is yes.

What are you talking about?

You asked me on the train
if I took my Maintenance.

I do.

Do you?

We saw Chasan leading the tour.
Is everything okay?

Everything's fine.
We were just wrapping up.

I can't do this today.
Let's do it tomorrow.

I'll be here.

How does it feel?

How does what feel?

Being identical twins.
It's a very rare thing.

We've always felt extra special
because of that.

It's a bond that few understand
and that we both cherish.

Are you scared of
losing that someday?

Losing what?

The bond you share.

That's impossible.
We'll always be the same.

Unless The Pilot decides
that one of you

is ready for your confirmation
before the other.

He would never do that.

Of course.

What happened yesterday?
Why was he there?

He wanted to tell me
he was on his Maintenance

and asked if I was.

And what did you say?

Nothing. We were interrupted.

Anything else?

We agreed to speak later.

Good.

Hopefully you'll be able
to obtain more information then.

Armaros.

Do you ever wonder
what it's like?

What are you talking about?

To not be on your Maintenance?

It's just...

The idea of opening up your mind
to its most uncontrolled state,

I wonder how it feels.

I don't ever wonder that.

And you shouldn't, either.

Akae, people who do not take
their Maintenance are broken,

defective.

They're disrespecting a gift
that The Pilot has given to them,

deciding themselves
that somehow they know

more than he does.

They don't.

You're right. They don't.

It was just
a crazy thought I had.

I'm proud of you, Akae.

You are serving Alisandre
and The Pilot well.

Keep up the good work.

I wasn't sure you'd be here.

I wasn't either.

So why are you really here?

There aren't many people
like us.

What do you mean "like us"?

People that think
there's something more,

question the world around them.

The real reason I'm here is

I have some friends
I think you should meet.

Friends?

People that think the way we do.

Why?

I think you'd be interested
in what they have to say.

They can explain more.

Why should I trust you?

You shouldn't.

You don't have to.

You could walk away right now
and never see me again.

Or you could come with me.

Welcome.

- Gergot.
- Logos. - Akae.

I've been looking forward
to meeting you both.

I, uh, wasn't here
when you first met

the rest of the group.

I was in the forested area.

- Doing what?
- Foraging.

Foraging?

The Pilot's dietary inventions

are complex in nutrients
and efficient to consume,

but they taste
absolutely horrible.

So I've self-trained as a chef.

Now, obviously, it's hard
to get my hands on ingredients

that actually make food
taste good, so I improvise.

Here we are.

You must be Akae.

I am.

We're very glad you're here.

Helias believed that we have
an intended purpose on earth.

He believed to the core of his
being that we're meant to die.

I feel like I'm walking
through my life

as two totally different people,
but there's a part of me

somewhere inside
that I can't quite access.

That's exactly what
Helias thought.

He believed there was a creator
of this universe and of man.

He said that mortals believe
that they each had an essence.

He called it "the soul",
which had a purpose

given to it by this creator.

Instead, The Pilot decided
to determine a purpose

for each one of us,

essentially denying us
the right to our own destiny.

And while we still feel
emotions, they're limited.

Mortals experienced more.

Much more.

What's the point?

What do you mean?

While what this man
Helias believed

is certainly interesting,
what's the point in believing

in a mortal life when
it's not something

we're genetically capable of?

Just seems futile to me.

I hope she didn't offend you.

Oh, no, she hasn't.

I like people
that ask big questions.

Because big questions
are what we here are all about.

I especially like questions
that I know the answer to.

Helias has called it
The Code Diffuser.

It was intended to
wipe the Code from the genome.

He created it as a way
to restore mortality.

Why would he do that?

He felt it was a very important
part of the human experience,

something we are
all missing out on.

Has anyone ever used it before?

He never finished work on it.

This is just the prototype.

We are planning on restoring
Helias' mind data.

But in order to do that,
we need to find Helias.

And when we do, we'll finally
meet the man behind all of this,

finish what he started.

Do all of you plan on using it?

Our hope is eventually
everyone in Alisandre will.

Why would they? Everyone
believes immortality is a gift.

Do you?

Everyone believes it's a gift,
as you say,

because the Maintenance
they're taking every single day

makes them believe
that that's true.

Which is why we're hoping
to alter a single batch

of the Maintenance
to create a short term effect.

A temporary experience,
if you will.

A small window in time
in which members of this society

might actually be able
to process what we're saying.

Are there any long term effects?
Permanent damage?

Certainly no damage.

And as for long term effects,
that's the goal.

Isn't it?

The problem with the plan
is that they...

We don't have access
to the Maintenance supply.

It's stored in a very
secure facility.

A facility adjacent
to Nescience.

That's why I'm here.

Because of where I work.

What did it feel like to you?

When I died.

Why do you continue
to ask that question?

Do you expect
a different answer?

Tell me again.

Losing your mother was more
than I could bear.

And then to lose you.

There were days that
the pain was so overwhelming...

I didn't think I could carry on.

You were close.

So close to being able
to save me.

After I lost you, I...

I made Helias promise me that...

That under no circumstances
would we leave the lab

until we were certain
that we had it right,

until he knew for sure
that the Code,

the genetic modifier
we had created

was the key to mortality.

And that's what we did.

But Helias left.

He thought I took too much
of the credit, which...

was not my intention.

But...

I was the driving force.

That part of the story changes
every time you tell it.

I found what The Pilot
is looking for.

The virus.
Only it's not a virus.

It's a Code Diffuser.

It changes it in some way,
reduces it.

Changes the Code?

I wanted to believe that somehow
The Pilot was wrong,

that there weren't
people like this.

The Pilot is never wrong.

Is there anything else?

They want me to help them
access the Maintenance facility.

What? Why?

They want to alter
a batch of Maintenance.

For themselves?

For everyone.

They want to clear everyone
from what they believe

to be some sort of mental fog
induced by Maintenance.

For what purpose?

They want to tell everyone
about the diffuser,

to convince everyone
that we should be mortal.

Mortal?

What did you tell them?

I told them I couldn't do it.

It's far too risky.
What if they succeed?

These poor delusional
individuals,

they're not on their
Maintenance,

their minds are unclear.

Why would you ever want
to disrupt a perfect world?

What is it that brought
you back to us?

I'm here because I can help you
access the Maintenance facility.

Are you sure
you want to do that?

It's not a mission
without grave risk.

I'm sure.

I told you there's
no surveillance in this area.

No one uses
these walkways anymore.

Why is it locked?

I don't know.
The scanner's not working.

- I knew she wouldn't help us.
- That's not it.

This is an antiquated device.

Alright, let's go.

Let's go.

Which way?

We stick to the exit plan.

You guys go that way, and we'll
go through Nescience.

Hello, Logos.

Akae.

You should be proud.
Pilot is delighted with you.

What?

You're... you're a guardian.

Akae.

You lied to me.

I could not tell you I was
a watcher, and you know that.

Akae, you have done an admirable
service for our society.

Thank you.

Do you have a question,
something concerning you?

I do.

When can I see Logos?

I'm afraid that's not possible.

I lied to him for my own gain,
and I'd like to apologize.

Well, that's
a lovely gesture, Akae.

But the Logos you know is gone.

In order to rehabilitate him,
to free him from his

unnatural desire for mortality,

we had to erase his mind,
his memories,

everything that made him
who he was.

It's for the better,
I assure you.

You should feel
a great sense of pride

for the work you've done.

Is there anything else
you haven't told us?

Thank you.

There is one thing.

I'd like to remain at Nescience.

A guardian office awaits you
at the capital.

It's where I feel comfortable.

Then that's where you'll stay.

He's in Daden.

Excuse me.

It's me.

Akae.

I came to apologize.

I'm the reason you're here.

I'm the reason you've changed.

If I knew what
they were going to do,

I never would have.

I need you to come with me.

I'm sorry.

I really am, but...

I don't know who you are.

Hello.

Hello!

I can't hear you.

Logos?

No, it's me, Akae.

She says she knows
where Logos is,

but needs our help.

After what she did?

I agree with Psuker.
It's not worth the risk.

Not to mention
we have no way of knowing

if her story is true.

It could be a trap.

She seemed sincere.

Yeah, she did when
she was here before, too.

Akae?

Yes.

We can't help you.

I'm sorry.

But...

Please.

People used to
openly worship here.

A belief system based
entirely upon faith.

Medorin told you,
we can't help you.

So, why are you here?

I understand...

Why you don't trust me.

I thought people like you
were bad.

I thought you were broken.

Searching for a truth
that doesn't exist.

I thought Logos
was doing the same.

It all seemed wrong.

I came face to face
with what scared me the most.

Believing in something
so different

to the world I've known.

I felt that way

because that's how
The Pilot wanted me to feel.

After I stopped taking
my Maintenance...

I realize you are
far from broken.

And the truth you're
searching for does exist.

You stopped taking
your Maintenance?

Completely.

You still haven't
answered my question.

I found Logos.

He's in Daden.

His mind has been wiped,
and he needs to be restored.

We need to save him,
and you're going to help me.

Why won't you tell me
the real reason Helias

left you in the machine?

He was jealous.

You know about mortal jealousy?

For him to turn
so quickly on you...

He must have had a reason.

It was nothing of the sort.

It's Logos...

He's gone.

Gone?!

What do you mean gone?

Gone where?

He didn't report to his office.

His data is gone, too.

Akae must have
downloaded it directly.

Find them.

Everything's going to be okay.

I promise.

I know what it's like

to feel really unsure
about something.

What do you mean?

I grew up in a world
that was perfect,

made for me by The Pilot...

for all of us.

That's what I thought, at least.

There were these...

questions.

These thoughts I kept having,

like maybe there
was something more.

Underneath all the perfection.

But I was wrong
for having those thoughts.

It was wrong to question
the life I was given.

But those same questions

are coming back, and...

it's seeming impossible
to push them away.

Why are you saying this?

Because you're not going
to remember any of it

in a few minutes,

we're going to bring you back.

There was nothing
in the case data

that indicated
this should have happened.

Perhaps her data was inaccurate.

Her scans showed normal levels
of Maintenance.

I trusted you.

I shouldn't have.

Logos.

Logos?

Logos!

It was surreal.

You were you, but...

you weren't.

You had no idea who I was.

No idea who you were?

I'm glad you're back.

I'm glad to be back.

Sonitas has a plan,

a way to show the world
who we are.

The Pilot's global address

will be broadcast
in just a few days.

I found a way to hack into it.

This will allow us
to replace The Pilot's feed

with our own.

Well, of course,
before we do this,

we need to alter the Maintenance

to make sure
our message is heard,

which didn't go
so well last time.

I have a plan.

And here's a
brief explanation

about how our colony began
exactly 200 years ago.

- That was really good.
- Okay. Now you try it.

And here's a brief explanation

about how our colony began...

I can't talk long,
but I need your help.

Thank you.

I promise it'll make sense
why I've asked you to do this.

We trust you, Akae.

Why don't you do the honors?

It works.

Let's go.

I just heard from Masim.

They should be here
the day after tomorrow.

Have they heard
from Gergot?

Not yet.

I'm sure he's just
out gathering supplies.

In anguish,
I apprehend myself

at once is totally free,

and is not being able to derive

the meaning of the world,

except this coming from my self.

The recruit who
reports for active duty

at the beginning of the war can,

in some instances,
be afraid of death,

but more often,
he is afraid of being afraid.

I'm sorry. I...

Is it Gergot?

Taken by the watchers
and wiped clean.

I'm sorry.

Me, too.

You know, sometimes I wonder

if The Pilot didn't
have it right.

With the pain of loss.

We can find him,

restore him like I was.

With The Pilot aware of us
and what we've been up to...

I hope so.

I'll be just across the way,

if you need anything.

Thank you, Logos.

Couldn't risk leaving it behind.

The altered Maintenance
is being distributed.

Tomorrow, an entire society

will be waking up with
a new lens on the world.

Our time to speak out is here.

Once we breach
The Pilot's address,

our faces, our beliefs

will be made known to the world.

We won't get another chance.
This is it.

We need to make sure our voices
are heard and heard well.

What if it worked?

What do you mean?

The Code Diffuser...
What if it worked?

It's a prototype.

Without Helias' mind data,

we have no idea of knowing
how effective it would be.

But if it were to work on me...

Then you'd be the first
mortal citizen on this planet...

In over a century.

Hey.

Did you mean it?

Yeah.

Akae, I...

It's fine.

To die...
it's your prerogative.

It's not that I want to die.

Then what is it?

I want to live.

I want to not know
what day is my last...

To make decisions
with consequences.

Real consequences.

I want to know
what it's like to feel...

Everything.

And I can't do that like this.

I can't do that if I know
that I'm going to live forever.

Logos?

Wake up.

Logos, wake up.

Wake up.

Medorin!

Medorin!

What's wrong with him?

He used the diffuser.

What can I do?

If we don't stabilize him,

we might lose him.

Logos.

Logos, wake up.

Do something, please.

His body's still in shock.

But he's stable.

He'll need a few days
before he can handle

another change to his genome.

Then we can attempt
at reapplying the Code.

His data was never
scanned and saved.

So, who knows if his
memories remain intact?

This is unchartered territory.

Logos.

He's stable.

I'll let you two talk.

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

It's okay.

How do you feel?

Different.

Different, how?

Everything is just...

clear.

Do you like what you see?

I do.

Me too.

Logos, I...

I came to Daden.

I had to get through to you,

and...

And what?

I kissed you.

I don't know why.

A feeling just came over me.

A feeling
I've never felt before.

I just thought you should know.

I'm glad you told me.

Sonitas is almost in.

Are you sure
you want to do this?

Because once you do,

once you put yourself out there,

explaining what you've done...

There's no going back.

And there's no telling
what could happen.

I have to.

Then I'll be right by your side.

Citizens...

It is with gratitude
and humility that

I come to you today to talk

as we always do
about our society.

I know you were expecting
to be addressed by The Pilot,

but please...

Here me out.

My name is Logos.

And I've been a citizen
living amongst you

my entire life.

What's going on?

And recently, I've wondered

what my purpose was
on this planet.

I started asking myself
questions.

Questions about how we live,

and I started to find answers,

I am no longer
under control of The Pilot.

I am no longer
imprisoned by the Code.

I've diffused it.

Freed myself from its reigns.

The Pilot created you
to be who he wants to be,

to live as he wants you to live.

Now that my eyes
have been opened,

I realized how much darkness
has been hiding underneath.

The Pilot made you.

Designed you

to be hollow...

To be empty inside,

To never see the beauty of life

that I now see!

Listen to me, all of you.

I am mortal, and I am alive!

What are you reading?

"A Tale of Two Cities."

I read that.

I was wondering.

Go on.

Why do you think
there's even one citizen

who is unhappy?

It doesn't make sense based
on everything you've told me.

There were always people
who were anomalies.

Science tells us that
that would happen.

In time, we, uh...

Rehabilitated these defectives

and gave them
entirely new mind data.

They became new people?

What about Logos?

Was he an anomaly?

Logos has a, uh,

natural immunity to Maintenance.

It is a rare occurrence,

but it's still possible.

So, you basically program
citizens to be content.

Perhaps a little history lesson
is in order.

Would you like to know
what the human condition

was like before the Code?

You've told me
the history many times.

I told you
what I wanted you to know.

And I never even
gave you the data.

There is...

There's much more.

More to life.

It was filled with
pure hideous suffering.

War.

Disease.

Poverty.

Crime. Hate.

Starvation.

Discrimination.

World leaders were
more concerned

with wealth and power

than with their own people.

I-I-I was just
a geneticist in a lab,

but I saw something
in my own work

that others failed to see.

Would you like
to know what that was?

I saw...

Possibilities.

Hope.

I saw a changed society.

I knew that
if I applied my research,

I could solve
the world's problems.

What about free will?

Free will is responsible

for every grain of suffering
in human history.

I watched many people die.

People I cared about.

And I saved everyone,

I saved everyone else
from experiencing that pain.

Look at me.

Death is nothing more
than a looming black hole.

There is...

no other existence
on some other plane.

No god.

No angels.

It's a fairy tale, Amanda.

It's a fantasy.

I created heaven.

In Alisandre,

right here, right now.

Why should there ever be...

all that suffering.

Why would Logos want to be
responsible for this?

I created him.

I gave him...

life, safety,

a place away from...

Fear and uncertainty.

They all are right here with me.

I am going to save you
from yourself, Logos.

You are not living,

you are existing.

You are bound by change.

Should this life be so still?

So static?

Well, what if you were
given the urgency

of knowing that you can
never repeat yesterday again?

That is being alive.

And that is beautiful.

Alright. I'm here.

What is it?

We need to act now.

Your worry is not warranted.

Do you not see
what is happening?

A natural immunity
to Maintenance

was bound to happen.

I could not prevent it.

If he actually is different,

isn't that more reason
to be concerned?

We all live by blind faith
in a man.

But if he as wise
as we believe him to be?

By handing over
our liberty to him,

are we not subject to him?

Are we not slaves?

Now that I am free from him,

I see the world
as it should be seen.

Despite our watchers's vigilance,

their movement is growing.

Citizens are experimenting
with reduced Maintenance,

displaying signs of irrational
thought and behavior.

I see what you see.

So, we are losing control!

We are not
losing anything!

Everything will be
as it should be.

And what about Logos?

He is openly upturning

everything that
you have created?

I will deal with
Logos when the time is right.

You're not
concerned in the least?

Logos has no idea
what he's doing.

He's going to die.

Perhaps.

But who knows what
will actually happen.

The diffuser is a prototype.

It will take much more to...

Discover how to actually

separate the Code
from the genome.

There's only one other
who can actually do that.

Helias?

So they would need you.

Helias was naive.

Hopeful.

He didn't appreciate
what my design became.

I had to sacrifice him
for the greater good.

It was quite simple, actually,

to separate his data from mine.

We'd become two clearly
different thinkers.

You did this after
he created the diffuser.

He went rogue.

Overnight,
it seemed to revert it

back to being a primitive.

He was difficult to control.

He started spreading
subversive information

and then...

Came his efforts
to undermine the Code.

But...

You won.

His data is...

in my control,

and entirely useless
to anyone but me.

The only human genome

which could accept it
would be mine.

So, yes.

I did win.

It's one thing
to see beauty.

But it's another

to feel a connection to it,

to feel it run through you.

What's wrong?

I'm scared.

Of what?

What if there's nothing?

What if when we die,
we just cease to exist?

What if The Pilot knows that,
and he's right?

You're not wrong.

He's not wrong,
and I now know

I can show that to Logos,

to everyone in Alisandre.

Citizens...

In the end.

What we have is faith.

Follow us.

Amanda?

I'm Amanda.

That's how she started.

But what she should have said

that would have been
more accurate in that moment

as she addressed
the citizens of Alexandra is...

"I am Helias."

I told Logos the news.

Helias is alive.

Well, his data, at least.

Amanda, The Pilot's
sacred artificial creation,

downloaded Helias' data
onto her system.

All of it.

Helias' thoughts, ideas...

emotions.

Amanda holds the key
to the new world.

She has the information we need
to restore the human race,

to restore freedom,

and discover
our own true purpose

as life was intended to be.

Now, all we have to do...

is find her.
