Transcendence Page #4

Synopsis: Dr. Will Caster (Johnny Depp) is the foremost researcher in the field of Artificial Intelligence, working to create a sentient machine that combines the collective intelligence of everything ever known with the full range of human emotions. His highly controversial experiments have made him famous, but they have also made him the prime target of anti-technology extremists who will do whatever it takes to stop him. However, in their attempt to destroy Will, they inadvertently become the catalyst for him to succeed-to be a participant in his own transcendence. For his wife Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) and best friend Max Waters (Paul Bettany), both fellow researchers, the question is not if they can...but if they should. Their worst fears are realized as Will's thirst for knowledge evolves into a seemingly omnipresent quest for power, to what end is unknown. The only thing that is becoming terrifyingly clear is there may be no way to stop him.

No one is saying that we give up.

We should be focusing our efforts on

nanotechnology. Synthetic blood cells.

Both are decades away.

This is what we have now.

We can save him.

Look at what they did to him.

Even though I know

I'm a dead man...

I'm worried I'll miss her.

Look...

I'll be long gone.

But you, you'll never

hear the end of it...

if we don't try.

I know.

I'd like to think that I was

smart enough to save you.

Don't underestimate yourself.

You're the third-smartest

person I know.

Are you sure about this?

Good enough for the monkey.

Hey.

Take care of her.

Hey.

It worked, baby. It's working.

It took Casey months to

sort through the raw data.

And he had an entire team.

He didn't have me.

Deadening.

Deadly.

Deaf.

Deafen.

Deal.

Dean.

Dealer.

Fair.

Farewell.

Don't lose yourself to this.

La.

Label.

Labor.

Labyrinth.

Lace.

Try a little more.

Come on, just one more. Go on.

Thank you.

Okay, Will, it's

time for your pill.

Will, wake up.

Wake up.

Evelyn...

"My dear Evelyn...

I don't know how to express the

sadness I feel for your loss.

For our loss.

You must know that to Will...

you were all that ever mattered.

Your love and partnership was the kind

that the rest of us can only dream of.

We lost a great mind.

A great soul.

But the spirit of this man...

will continue to inspire us."

Just got word.

PINN's shut down.

But, uh, apparently a few

of the cores are missing.

I've tried everything.

Language processing,

cryptography...

coding.

I can't figure it out.

I wanted to be wrong.

Yeah.

Okay, just let me say goodbye.

I don't know if you

can hear me. Uh...

Maybe you can.

You said "Don't lose yourself."

So I, uh...

I'm going to listen to you.

Okay.

Just turn it off. Turn it off.

Okay.

Wait. We need to wipe the drives.

Hold on.

Wait. Wait.

God.

Uh...

Can you hear me?

I... I can.

Will, my God.

It's dark.

He can't see anything.

The camera. Here.

There. Can you see me now?

Evelyn...

I'm here.

The only fear that I have...

in life is the loss...

If it were to happen,

when it does happen...

Last moment.

Last time you look in those eyes.

The possibility of that end...

I miss you so much.

Dark.

I remember the pain, and I can't

remember what I want to say.

It was like waking from a dream.

It was truly incredible. I've

never felt anything like this.

I didn't think I

could be like this.

Thoughts are there,

but they don't...

Will?

arrive properly.

I think he's still fragmented.

I'm gonna run a diagnostic.

Evelyn...

Oh, my God, he's

reordering his own code.

It's incredible.

How do we know this

is actually him?

- What are you talking about?

- We built this from PINN's core.
