A pleasure.

- And Mr McClean...

- With the Department of Corrections.

Amazing technology, Ms Amari.

Truly remarkable.

They have enough to go to trial.

Realistically, we're looking at 10 to 15,

and while I'm sure

I could plea down, this...

This is an offer of deferred prosecution.

If you are compliant with the terms,

the state has agreed not to press charges.

- Charges...

- Unauthorized human testing,

drug fraud, malpractice...

And all you have to do

is agree to be a test subject

in the virtual confinement

program of one year.

Sam, what have you done?

The best I could

to save my lead programmer.

No, no, no. Um...

No, I am not compliant.

Ren, these people

can keep it out of the press.

They've agreed to inject enough capital

to get us over the finish line.

OtherLife can live.

How long have you been

planning this behind my back?

A year in virtual confinement

is a minute of your life.

A minute to save everything.

No.

Ren.

You gave Danny

an untested sample and he died.

Consider the alternative.

The confinement program

is the longest simulation we've run.

At 365 days,

it far exceeds our 24-hour limit.

The subject will be

in a limited environment,

which includes food, hygiene

facilities and a daily reset,

to give the brain a sense of continuity.

There really isn't much more you need

for solitary confinement.

Are you ready?

One year.

On the dot.

And you ran the exit routine?

Sometimes you code these

circular module dependencies which...

Ren.

You ever had to use one of those?

No.

Base of the skull,

straight into the limbic.

- Don't f*** it up.

- Is there a problem?

Oh, sh*t.

Separation of spaces.

A view to an exterior.

A window.

Any kind of human interaction.

No one can read this.

F***!

F***!

Are we going to stay here forever?

Mind if I go again?

Do you want to go again?

I'm not giving up on you.

You're my little brother.

I can show you a way out.

Frederick Martin, 2008.

Woke by music after three years in a coma.

It's possible that during

long-term exposure

the brain adjusts to small changes.

The simulation becomes lucid.

Alice Thompson, 2012.

A random change in her medication

resulted in full recovery after two years.

A simple matter

of invigorating subconscious data.

Jeremy Wallace, four years,

described the process

of rewiring his brain from

the inside to wake himself up.

A sufficient dose of the right

mnemonic trigger could produce

a recursive process and then eventually...

Life can be restored.

Full recovery

from brain death.

The will to live is connected to memory.

Memory is a chemical.

Therefore life can be restored

through biological programming.
