Amelia 2.0 Page #2

Synopsis: When his wife Amelia suffers an aneurysm that leaves her bedridden and slowly dying, police officer Carter Summerland searches for a way to revive her. He's approached by Wesley Enterprises about allowing Amelia to be the test subject for an experimental program that will place her mind in a new, artificial body - and out of desperation, Carter agrees. But is the result really Amelia Summerland? Or is it something else entirely? Set in the very near future, The Summerland Project uses current, existing technology as a launchpad for a story about where the line truly is between life and death, and to ask the question: What is is that makes us human?. It explores the motivations behind the team that creates Amelia, from genius but standoffish Dr. Ellen Beckett to the kind yet arrogant industrialist Paul Wesley, who funds the work. It explores the fallout in the scientific, legal and religious community, with opposition to the project spearheaded by the passionate Senator Williams. But mo

I applied for the Wesley Grant.

I'm using my site

to raise donations.

- Oh.

Thought you said you were two

months behind on your house.

- Yeah.

Amelia's got maybe a

few more months, maybe.

But there's still time.

- Look, Carter.

I know it's tough

to let go, I get it.

If there's anything

you need, let me know.

- I need more time.

- Every day we learn new

ways to conquer the limits

of the human body.

We're approaching new

worlds, new frontiers,

and new possibilities for life.

So, while I thank you for

this award I will tell you,

we are already looking forward

to the students,

to the pioneers,

to the breakthroughs

yet to come.

Each day we hear new

ideas, see new projects,

and we meet new heroes.

Here's to building

a better future.

Here's to building

better people.

- Of course I can't believe it.

Paul Wesley.

- Well, congrats.

- Well, thank you.

So, Paul Wesley, when

are you gonna start

returning my phone calls?

- When your show stops pandering

to corn fed housewives.

Tell you producers to reach

outside the box they're in.

- Ooh, ouch.

- Ow.

- I was referring to

dinner, but I think

I'll rescind the offer.

- Good to see ya, Adah.

Take this.

- Yeah.

- I'm on a flight in

30 minutes, Ellen.

What have you got?

- I think we have a candidate.

- The leukemia patient?

- No, he's made a full recovery.

- That's unfortunate.

- Amelia Summerland,

age 26, coma patient.

Aneurysm two years ago.

Diagnosis of locked-in syndrome.

The brain is fully intact

but much left on her body.

- She's married?

- Yes, Carter Summerland.

- I'm sorry, do I know you?

- I'm Paul Wesley.

I believe you applied

for one of my grants.

We need to speak to you

immediately about Amelia.

Any other family

members our lawyers

have to worry about?

- She's an only child.

Her parents are deceased.

- Mr. Summerland, do you know

what a non-disclosure

agreement is?

- Yeah.

- Good.

Sign that.

- Max, just in time.

- Mr. Summerland,

nice to meet you.

Max Parker, lead robotics.

We're excited to

show you the lab.

Right this way.

- Now entering

cyber level four, section d.

- All right, all non-essential

personnel, clear out.

Carter, I want you to

meet Dr. Ellen Beckett.

- Very nice to meet

you, Mr. Summerland.

- Dr. Beckett is the

chief neurologist

for Wesley enterprises.

She's been studying

Amelia's scans.

- Most coma patients have seen

significant deterioration

by this point.

I think there's a

wonderful chance

that your wife is

still in there.

- Dr. Beckett is the main reason

we've made such progress

in brain injuries

over the past 10 years.

- You can fix Amelia?

- Better.

- Mr. Summerland, I'd
