Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
1
00:00:23,050 --> 00:00:25,550
He found me.
2
00:00:28,850 --> 00:00:32,850
They know what we've done.
They don't like it.
3
00:00:36,550 --> 00:00:40,000
Oh shit.
4
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,000
Oh fuck!
5
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,050
This is it, Harper. The rest is down to you.
6
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:51,200
Finish it.
7
00:00:57,450 --> 00:01:01,650
Why do I follow him... Fallon.
8
00:01:03,350 --> 00:01:07,000
Was it a backlash to
my catholic schooling?
9
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:09,600
The morbidity of faith?
10
00:01:15,260 --> 00:01:20,970
Or maybe I just wanted to make
something good, for once?
11
00:01:23,580 --> 00:01:26,960
My pact with the Devil.
12
00:01:29,750 --> 00:01:35,900
Why are you here? In film class?
13
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,000
I want to make...films?
14
00:01:41,970 --> 00:01:44,970
You wanna make the best film ever made.
15
00:01:51,700 --> 00:01:56,970
You're in theology and control engineering.
I study computer science.
16
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:01,770
So, why are you in film class?
17
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:10,000
Can a work of art be so precise
in design and execution..
18
00:02:10,100 --> 00:02:13,060
that it can inspire the viewer to see God?
19
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:15,540
How do you mean 'God'?
20
00:02:16,420 --> 00:02:18,620
Imagine you're a medieval pilgrim.
21
00:02:18,780 --> 00:02:22,700
Sleeping in the gutter, hallucinating
due to malnutrition.
22
00:02:23,060 --> 00:02:26,100
At the end of your journey, you gaze up
23
00:02:26,340 --> 00:02:28,160
see sunlight reflected through the glass
24
00:02:28,180 --> 00:02:30,520
of the Sainte-Chapelle windows.
25
00:02:34,350 --> 00:02:37,600
You think it was chance, these designs.
You think they were
26
00:02:37,700 --> 00:02:39,620
accidents of the imagination.
27
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,580
No, there's technique, maths, geometry.
28
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,800
Back then, mixing science and religion
could get you killed.
29
00:02:46,900 --> 00:02:50,960
These guys, they knew more
than they could show.
30
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,000
In the 1400's a leather trader,
31
00:02:56,100 --> 00:03:00,560
Karim Nisbah, spent 12 days in
the desert. His camel died,
32
00:03:00,660 --> 00:03:03,940
the sun burned his red face,
but after dragging himself home
33
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:07,740
all he could say to his wife was
'I've seen God'.
34
00:03:07,920 --> 00:03:11,770
In 1937, a german marine scientist
was hypnotized by this
35
00:03:11,870 --> 00:03:14,970
wave of bioluminescence on Lake Karachay.
36
00:03:15,070 --> 00:03:17,740
His first words upon revival?
'I've seen God'.
37
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,500
And the connection is?
38
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:22,840
Hypno-induced temporal lobe epilepsy.
39
00:03:22,940 --> 00:03:25,280
And there's a direct link between
the optical nerve
40
00:03:25,380 --> 00:03:28,080
and the region of the brain
responsible for religious devotion.
41
00:03:28,180 --> 00:03:31,500
You're saying images can
induce visions of God?
42
00:03:32,420 --> 00:03:34,220
That's why I joined your film class.
43
00:03:35,140 --> 00:03:37,080
I want you to document the experiment.
44
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,660
But we know that white noise and
binaural beat stimulate the brain.
45
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,500
And the visual cortex responds to symmetry.
46
00:03:49,100 --> 00:03:51,120
Some patterns work better than
others so we altered them
47
00:03:51,220 --> 00:03:53,700
using various parameters:
scale, color, position.
48
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:54,800
Which worked best?
49
00:03:54,860 --> 00:03:58,560
Well, we tested them, one at a time,
measuring the results on the EEG.
50
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,880
Are you recording?
51
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:02,700
Hundreds of people work on this.
52
00:04:02,740 --> 00:04:05,400
Across the globe. It's called
Haynault's pattern theory.
53
00:04:05,500 --> 00:04:07,400
They're looking for a perfect image?
54
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,840
It could take forever to find.
That's what you do?
55
00:04:09,940 --> 00:04:11,970
No. I work for Stratton,
56
00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:15,180
a tech firm. We build HIDs;
mice, keyboards...
57
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:18,200
and this prototype.
It scans brain activity.
58
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:21,400
I do software for this thing,
and last month...
59
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:22,940
this happened.
60
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,540
It gave me an idea; if the scanner
61
00:04:27,580 --> 00:04:29,820
could give feedback on
the standard binaural switch,
62
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,200
what could it do for pattern theory?
63
00:04:32,580 --> 00:04:36,400
It is a simple script: is X stimulated?
64
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,420
If no, deviate. If yes,
mirror and split.
65
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,820
Repeat. No? deviate.
Yes: mirror and split.
66
00:04:43,420 --> 00:04:45,220
Mirror and split, mirror and split.
67
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,440
Can you control it, the patterns and the...?
68
00:04:47,540 --> 00:04:49,840
No, it feeds from the subconscious.
69
00:04:49,940 --> 00:04:52,740
So you're testing it on yourself?
Incredible.
70
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,900
That's not all, check
the readout you get
71
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:57,900
when you watch this thing back.
72
00:04:58,900 --> 00:05:04,040
Shit. You found it. Haynault's pattern.
73
00:05:07,420 --> 00:05:10,270
And so the work began.
74
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,660
Ellen White, founder of
the Seventh-Day Adventists
75
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,520
suffered brain injury at age 9,
had frequent seizures.
76
00:05:19,620 --> 00:05:22,180
Spoke directly with God.
She was epileptic.
77
00:05:22,280 --> 00:05:25,500
So was Dostoyevsky. Do you know
what he called it?
78
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,080
The ecstatic aura.
79
00:05:28,180 --> 00:05:31,100
You're saying the entire history
of religious prophecies
80
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,540
is linked to brain malfunction?
81
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,140
Ten thousand years of fanatical belief.
82
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:39,260
God isn't a bearded man sat in the clouds,
or a four armed elephant?
83
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:46,560
It is a bug. A glitch.
A neurological construct.
84
00:05:50,580 --> 00:05:57,560
We worked through the night...
longer hours. Fallon never slept.
85
00:06:01,140 --> 00:06:02,970
Fallon?
86
00:06:09,380 --> 00:06:13,320
Have you told anyone?
About the experiment.
87
00:06:13,420 --> 00:06:18,720
What? -I was followed, last night.
And then again this morning.
88
00:06:18,820 --> 00:06:22,440
By who, the police?
-The Church.
89
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:28,420
You think they'd like it?
Wouldn't fucking like it.
90
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:32,460
Wouldn't like what? -If we found it.
Found what?
91
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:34,680
The shortcut to God.
92
00:06:36,300 --> 00:06:39,520
At first I thought it was a joke.
93
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:44,280
We named his apparitions
the religious authorities,
94
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,390
but I didn't believe him.
95
00:06:48,500 --> 00:06:50,740
It couldn't be true.
96
00:06:57,460 --> 00:07:00,560
Perhaps you should cut the self-testing?
97
00:07:01,270 --> 00:07:08,060
You could do serious damage.
Migraines, seizures, hallucinations.
98
00:07:08,980 --> 00:07:11,970
Who else is there?
99
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,000
No. -It's perfectly safe.
100
00:07:16,100 --> 00:07:18,400
Says the paranoid schizophrenic.
101
00:07:18,500 --> 00:07:20,280
I'm not paranoid.
102
00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:25,140
Prove it. -I can't... But you can.
103
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,640
So the experiment took a turn.
104
00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,560
It didn't take long
to finish the sequence.
105
00:07:38,660 --> 00:07:40,560
Join the dots.
106
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:44,020
We named it the Brain Hack.
107
00:07:44,970 --> 00:07:47,720
But there was still one problem...
108
00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:51,240
Dammit! -What? It happened again.
109
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,160
Some kind of reflex, a safety catch. Look.
110
00:07:55,260 --> 00:07:59,080
The Brain Hack starts at 4:22,
at 4:28 the velocity increases.
111
00:07:59,180 --> 00:08:01,080
It's working, but then~ But then?
112
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:03,660
Three seconds in,
a kind of defense mechanism.
113
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,970
Maybe the brain is trying
to tell us something.
114
00:08:06,070 --> 00:08:08,500
How would you like to be lobotomized?
115
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:13,000
It's just the pre-frontal lobe,
I could scoop it right out.
116
00:08:17,140 --> 00:08:20,120
Then Fallon disappeared.
117
00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:25,180
Two days. No word, no warning.
118
00:08:27,580 --> 00:08:30,200
What if the visions were real?
119
00:08:30,380 --> 00:08:36,500
If you open the door to God,
maybe you let the Devil in too?
120
00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:41,970
Hello?
121
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,970
Well? -Sit down.
122
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:07,970
You're not gonna need that.
123
00:09:08,070 --> 00:09:10,320
Now we found a pattern
that will work every time.
124
00:09:10,420 --> 00:09:11,520
Like Haynault predicted?
125
00:09:11,620 --> 00:09:14,160
A universal method of using.
And the defense mechanism?
126
00:09:14,260 --> 00:09:16,470
We know how to beat it.
127
00:09:18,700 --> 00:09:26,970
What are you doing?! Fallon! ...Shit.
128
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:31,060
No... no!
129
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,120
That's right, let the adrenaline come.
130
00:09:37,220 --> 00:09:40,240
Fear is how you beat the defense mechanism.
131
00:09:40,340 --> 00:09:44,100
Flooding the cerebellum with fear.
132
00:09:44,660 --> 00:09:50,260
If you don't want to see the results,
look away now.
133
00:10:15,340 --> 00:10:17,970
Well?
134
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,270
Did you see anything? Tell me.
135
00:10:23,980 --> 00:10:29,020
Nothing? I don't understand.
136
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:32,400
It doesn't work, Fallon.
But the reaction was incredible!
137
00:10:32,500 --> 00:10:35,340
You should've seen it.
Seen what, God?
138
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,340
Fuck you.
139
00:10:54,680 --> 00:11:00,360
It took 20 minutes.
But then it happened.
140
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,740
The poet Valery once wrote:
141
00:11:05,820 --> 00:11:11,660
"The universe is built on a plan,
the profound symmetry of which
142
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:16,180
is somehow present in the inner
structure of our intellect."
143
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:25,520
He was right. And it's beautiful.
144
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:40,000
Fallon? Fallon!
145
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,180
He found me.
146
00:13:50,620 --> 00:13:56,180
This is it, Harper.
The rest is down to you.
147
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:57,960
Finish it.
148
00:14:11,970 --> 00:14:16,400
Are we doing the right thing?
What do you mean?
149
00:14:16,900 --> 00:14:20,040
We could be... fucking our brains.
No.
150
00:14:20,260 --> 00:14:22,980
The brain evolved to do this,
it's a natural function.
151
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:28,460
A natural function? -Yeah. It's just...
most people never get that.
152
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:32,220
Modern life, how it is.
We're not touching the hardware.
153
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:34,380
Just hacking the software.
154
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,970
Giving it a cheat code for
the final level. God mode.
155
00:14:47,940 --> 00:14:50,970
You wanna talk moral implications?
156
00:14:51,070 --> 00:14:59,080
We're not the ones asking for money,
devotion, preaching hate...
157
00:14:59,300 --> 00:15:04,600
and telling people that they're sinful,
teaching them to maim and kill.
158
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:06,600
We're showing them the truth.
159
00:15:06,700 --> 00:15:08,970
Then you mean this is free?
160
00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,880
The 'closest to God' isn't just
for monks and priests,
161
00:15:12,980 --> 00:15:15,460
self-proclaimed prophets.
162
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,970
It's personal. Within us. Every one of us.
163
00:15:28,940 --> 00:15:34,840
Brain hack needs to go public.
On the internet, festivals, TV.
164
00:15:34,940 --> 00:15:38,180
If everyone had seen what we'd seen...
165
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,180
We could end wars.
166
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:47,060
I once asked why you were in film class.
Well now you know.
167
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:07,720
We're making a short film;
half documentary, half dramatic fiction.
168
00:16:08,860 --> 00:16:11,970
We may need to embellish the story.
169
00:16:12,070 --> 00:16:17,060
Just enough to get the audience
on the edge of their seat.
170
00:16:21,220 --> 00:16:26,680
Get the adrenaline pumping.
Beat the defense mechanism.
171
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,970
Because at the end of the film,
172
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:43,720
we show the Brain Hack.
Live and uncut.
173
00:16:51,780 --> 00:16:57,760
It's untested, unsafe.
