[Mason] There are more neurons in the human brain,
than stars in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Pretty fucking cool right?
The fact that all of energy and matter
exploded from the center of the universe
and created a pale blue dot
where living, thinking, beings evolved, with consciousness.
Yet, somehow, that very consciousness,
our consciousness, destroys everything.
[Reporter] The battle's aftermath.
The entirety of greed and hatred and pain
are created in one place and one place alone,
the human brain.
But what if it didn't have to be that way?
What if we could reprogram the human brain?
Last year, I hacked the NSA surveillance program,
freed a few thousand zoo animals,
and sucker punched Cheklovia's nuclear program,
but honestly none of it made that much of a difference.
I realized that my hacks were not gonna fix
the real problem, the human problem.
[distinct radio chatter]
So, I have a new plan.
To fix human kind.
I'm gonna hack the human mind.
[Finn] Yeah, that's cool man, except that we don't have
a proper power source, hardware, or software.
What about that impossible to get neural transmitter?
Can you just leave me alone for like two minutes
so I can have some peace and quiet?
[Finn] And go where man?
Did you know that there are more neurons in the human brain
than stars in the Milky Way Gala...
[staticky ominous music]
[Mason Voiceover] Bottles.
600 million plastic bottles discarded everyday.
Average .4 ounce weight multiply it by 600 million
equals 260 million pounds of plastic bottles
thrown away everyday.
What if people knew?
Make it a jam?
They still won't give a shit.
Do we ever get laid man?
You know what really gets girls wet?
Statistics about bottles.
Since you seem to be a total wack job,
I'm just wondering if I'll ever actually get a chance
to see a vagina or if we're just completely hopeless?
By the way, your metrics were off.
Tangential growth counts for 14%,
that's 1.4 billion bottles a day.
Billion bottles.
So, you gonna jack the city's power supply like I suggested?
Too scared?
No.
Mason, talking to me is like talking to God.
Complete transparency.
You don't exist.
Bullshit.
I have complete control over my life.
Bullshit.
I'm not fucking crazy.
Bullshit.
I don't need a reason, okay?
We need that power, Mason,
corporate competition is hot on our tail.
What are you saying?
Our tail?
You chose the alias, foxy boy.
Come on, keep walking.
I took care of the competition.
And now we need to step it up.
I don't steal from innocent people, okay.
Innocent?
Who's innocent?
- It's not right. - Fuck right.
I'm right.
I never said it wasn't a good idea.
It's a great idea.
Technically I think it's my idea.
Okay, let's not go crazy.
[fast techno music]
Mr. Vix, dude, the Uncanny Douche video, amazing!
Thank you, most love yet.
Care for a snack?
That's not why we're here, Mason.
I'm good, thank you.
Have you seen Zip?
Sun Moon is looking for you.
Yeah?
Alright, thanks.
Society is just an agreement.
Money, just an agreement.
This place is about creating your own agreement.
Sun Moon.
Enter.
Have a seat, my friend.
We got to find Zip, Mason.
Yeah thanks, brother, but I gotta find Zip,
- get some code... - Sit.
Looking for that thing?
Mason, we are focused okay.
We have things to do.
I just need to amp up a little.
So, what's up?
Nicola is dead.
No.
What happened?
You know.
No, I don't know.
You know I haven't done anything
since the first time, right?
I know.
I don't even know what she was working on.
A headset to map the human mind.
Wow.
It's pretty dope.
What, you want me to get it for you?
I want you to keep your eyes open.
Apparently she was working with a partner,
named Eden or some shit like that.
Eden?
Was supposed to be some sort of legend,
but started tooling himself and got lost.
Experimenting on himself, huh?
Oh, you know how that story goes.
Right?
If you hear anything, you let me know.
Yeah.
Vix.
Whatever you're working on, the fix is in here.
- Information is bliss. - Information is bliss.
I think I'm in love.
Hi.
Hey Vix, we're about to have a jam session.
You dig?
[upbeat house music]
Hey, have you seen Zip?
Zip, yo man, I'm here for my code.
[Finn] You know he doesn't have it, man.
He better.
[knocking on door]
Hey, come on man, you said you'd have it today.
We knew this was gonna happen, man.
Shut up.
[knocking on door]
Zip, come on, let me in.
He's a fucking junkie, man.
He's the best coder in the city.
We should have written that shit ourselves.
It would've taken me months.
He fucked us, man.
Now we need to escalate on this guy.
What do you know?
I know we resold Chinese electronics on eBay
and jerked off into a Petri dish to pay him for it.
Goddammit. [Pounding on door]
Zip, you said you would have it for me today, man.
- Come on, Zip. - There we go.
Come on.
You said you would have it today.
What the fuck?
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.
What?
You're not gonna do anything?
I'm just gonna wait it out.
Figure out this plastic bottle jam.
You're gonna wait?
This is the exact problem.
What is?
This.
Every little bump derails us on some small time distraction.
Plastic is a big fucking problem.
Are you fucking talking about plastic again?
I will hemorrhage in your fucking brain.
Focus!
It is not the root problem.
Isn't this why we're here?
Mason.
We can change the entire world.
Well what do you want me to do?
I want us to get what we are here for.
I can't just break down the door
and put him in a to go baggy.
Of course you can!
- There are rules, okay? - Fuck rules, man!
There are no rules.
Since when do you listen to rules?
Don't you know anything?
Nobody breaks Sun Moon's code.
Oh, so he's the daddy you wish we always had?
[groaning]
You know nothing about me.
I know everything about you.
You don't exist.
Then who the fuck you talking to?
A mental projection!
A freak disconnect in my brain!
That's what you think of me?
You're really something, man, you know that.
I don't know what to think, okay?
I've manifested a...
[stammering]
A what?
Go, say it, a what?
A part of myself from some dark matter,
and obviously it means you're here for a reason.
Mason, society's rules are vapor.
They mean nothing.
Do you want to save the world?
Boom.
[intense music]
Zip!
Zip.
You didn't even knock.
Hey, come on.
Come on, Zip.
Hey.
Come on, there we go, easy does it.
Dude.
[Finn] He still alive?
Yeah, he's alive.
Wish I could lend a hand, but you know.
Oh, shit! [Zip screaming]
Shit shit shit, stop screaming!
[Zip] [screams] I'm coming towards the light!
I'm coming towards the light!
Stop squirming, stop it, stop it I'll help you!
Hey, hey, hey Zip! Shut the fuck up.
Zip, Zip.
I took it off, all right?
Vix?
[laughs] Man, I thought I was dead, man.
[Mr. Vix] No, no, you're good, bro.
What the hell am I doing in this bag?
Bet you never thought you'd say that.
Don't waste time on this asshole.
Look, I need my code.
Oh, I'm sorry man, moms took my computer.
Do not let this guy fuck with us.
You fucking with me?
No, no man.
Mmm-hmm.
He's not gonna deliver until we escalate.
Zip, man don't make me an asshole, I need this code.
Man, come on, man, look at me.
I said escalate, Mason!
Hey, don't fuck with me, man!
I can't sit still that long.
You better have that shit backed up,
tell me your mom didn't recycle 10 grand.
I'm gonna tell Sun Moon, that you...
You ain't saying shit, alright?!
I need this code! And I need more cash, man!
Fuck him up, Mason!
Don't fuck with me, man!
Hey, come on, Vix, Vix, Vix.
- Do it Mason! - Don't fuck with me, man!
Hey, Vix!
Come on man, this ain't like you, man.
It's like me, motherfucker!
Ah!
Did you just flick me?
- Yeah. - Did you just flick him?
What the fuck was that?
Hit the motherfucker in the face.
Hit him!
Oh.
- My God. - Come on Mason, harder!
Harder, man!
Fucking harder! [intensifying music]
Okay, okay, okay, alright, okay, okay!
Okay, I have it.
- You got it? - I'll fucking finish it.
Yeah, you didn't have to punch me in the fucking face.
- Where is it? - It's here!
It's here!
You don't want to hurt this!
Can you do it on my machine?
Yeah.
And how much have you got done?
I haven't started.
- Fuck, man! - Okay.
[Mr. Vix] How long is it gonna take?
A few hours?
Few hours.
You're not lying to me?
No, no, no man, I got you bro.
I got you this time.
I got my eye on you motherfucker.
You'll live in that trash bag.
Later, sucker!
[woman yells]
That's how you greet new neighbors?
Shopping cart ambush?
Oh shit, you're bleeding.
Oh, no biggie.
This girl is unbelievable.
Who's your friend?
Hi.
Welcome to the neighborhood.
You're Mr. Vix, right?
I've seen you before, dummy, at HQ,
but what's with the stupid mask?
Valid point.
And why do you always seem to breaking things?
Can't you make something for once?
[stuttering] I make things.
Oh!
Like what?
Yeah, Mason, like what?
Well, sometimes you have to destroy systems
in order to build new ones.
You want help with your bag?
No!
No, I couldn't ask after all that ambush thing.
I didn't get your name.
Sawyer.
What's yours?
[Finn] Doesn't fucking matter, she's the one.
Wrap this shit up.
Mason.
Well.
See you around, Mason.
Invite her inside you fucking pussy.
Okay.
Go make something, Mason!
Bye.
You suck at life.
Hey, sweetie, wait up!
Come here!
Come on what do you like to do, roller skate?
[soft whimsical music]
[buzzing]
If you added up the signals
from the entire telecommunication system on earth,
it would not equal the complexity of a single human brain.
The only hope of rewriting a system so complex
is to fully understand its structure.
[Zip] Crap, ugh this sequence is insane.
Zip here is finishing a code that will allow us
to map the entire human brain, learn from that code and...
Rewrite that code.
Nice, dude.
Soon, I will be able to enhance and/or delete
every deficiency of the human brain with updates,
like computer software.
How are you gonna spread those upgrades?
You know how.
You're a mad man.
The point is...
We'll rewrite humanity on our own terms.
My terms.
You know what we need.
Nicola's headset.
I'll just borrow an EEG 10 from some lab and modify it.
Borrow an EEG 10?
Yeah.
Eden.
- What? - You heard me.
- Eden's just a myth. - Tell that to Nicola.
Nicola was selfish, it could have been anybody.
- Selfish? - Yeah.
[Finn] Nicola was a fucking genius,
you have no idea what was motivating her.
You say that like you knew her.
I did.
Whether you like it or not, your history is my history.
I'm losing my fucking mind.
Nicola's headset is key.
You borrow some EEG 10
and they'll be on you like pigs in shit.
Even if this guy is real
no one has any clue where he is, okay?
Mason, fear and morality and every other human concept
in the world will become irrelevant
once we have that headset.
If there's anyone that can do it, it's us.
Donezo!
Zip!
I love you, man!
I knew you wouldn't let me down.
Yo, who you been talking to, man?
Me, dickhead.
Honestly, my imaginary projection.
Oh word, okay, what's his name?
- Finn. - Finn and Mason?
Sounds like a shitty clothing store.
[Finn fake laughs]
I got something else for you.
Oh, yeah what's that?
Ooh, you're gonna owe me big time for this one.
[Mr. Vix] What is it?
I set up Eden's shop, and I dropped a GPS tag.
[laughing]
I'm gonna need a mask.
Weird looking.
You look like a child.
I can't be seen with you like this.
I can't be seen with you anyway, but.
I like it.
[laughs] Fuck you.
Fucking weirdo.
No you're the fucking weirdo.
We're both fucking weirdos.
Let's take over the world together.
This is in your mind.
I just want you to feel right, you know.
Yes.
Freeze, motherfucker! [Laughs]
Dammit, Finn!
I fucking love this place.
Hello!
Are you not entertained?
You think it's true what they're saying about this guy?
Hard to say, my man, hard to fucking say.
Pretty messed up.
I've seen worse.
Oh, have you?
Don't presume to know everything there is
to know about me, Mason.
Just don't fuck with me in here, all right?
I'm on your team, my man.
There is no fucking that I am not a part of.
Shit.
Think he saw us?
Huh?
Well he's in a nuclear bunker
so I don't think he gives a fuck.
Oh, shit.
[Finn] Don't worry, man, you can crack it.
Zip didn't say anything about a door with no handle.
You're nervous.
Of course I'm fucking nervous.
You curse when you get nervous.
You heard what he said about this guy.
Yeah, no, you're right,
we should go home and get the fuck out of here.
[Mason] Finn!
I need your help on this.
[Finn] Sorry!
Have fun!
Finn!
I need your help.
There you go.
Have you ever tried to go somewhere I wasn't?
All the time.
Has it ever worked?
No.
Can you try?
[Finn] Huh?
Can you try?
I think that's more on you, than it is me.
Okay.
Okay what?
Let's do it.
Okay.
Let's do it!
Let's do what?
Transcendence, man.
You're out of your fucking mind.
No, you're out of my mind.
Okay, what do we do?
Well we know from quantum physics that time and space
are only relative to our perspective.
We need to see that room so wholly
in our mind's eye you'll actually be there.
Okay.
The room is square, 20 feet by 20 feet.
The walls are silver.
In the center of the room is a chair.
Inside that chair is a guy called Eden.
Holy shit.
Finn?!
- Mason. - Finn?!
- I'm inside. - No?!
What's happening?
Shit.
Looks like he's digitizing his brain.
Shit!
Is he asleep?
[Finn] Catatonic.
Shit, this is the last puzzle piece!
Is there a door?
An alarm?
No, there's no way out.
It must be voice activated or something.
Think!
This is our last chance, man.
Mason?
Yeah?
What's to say I can't project you here?
Nothing.
Apart from the fact that I'm made of physical matter
and that would be physically impossible.
Finn?
Open the door.
I said open the door!
I'm gonna skin you alive, you little rodent.
Say the code and open the door
or I will break your machine.
Reckoning.
You killed Nicola.
[electricity buzzing] [Eden yelling]
If I ever see you again, I'm gonna kill you.
[line trilling]
[Zip] Hey, it's Zip,
I'm not picking up my phone ever so leave a message.
Yo Zip, man, give me a call, alright, some shit went down.
Okay.
[Finn] Mason.
Mason.
Mason, Mason.
Where are you?
Mason.
Hi.
Is someone day tripping?
Must be good.
This area just needed a little life.
Sorry, I just...
Want to see something cool?
[ominous music]
[grimacing]
Jammers and germs.
It's time to change the world.
By decoding the human brain
and all of it's beautiful, terrible intricacy.
I hope to discover what might just be
the spark of consciousness.
The spark of life.
[intense electro music]
[yelling]
Mason.
Come here.
This way.
Want to see something cool?
Okay, so, your brain is made of over 80 billion neurons,
none of which give a damn about you.
Now they work just like an on and off switch.
So the zillion dollar question
is why did these signals originate?
No one knows, so that's what I want to find out.
So by finding out the code of consciousness,
I'll be able to find out the original spark.
Original spark of what?
Of life.
Wow.
That's what I'm gonna rewrite.
Rewrite?
Yeah.
Why?
Because human beings are programmed to destroy everything.
- And create. - By destruction.
I know it sounds crazy, but I've thought this through.
But what if we're flawed for a reason.
We're just outdated.
You realize you would be playing God right?
I've had a long day and I don't...
- Answer the question. - I just want to fix people.
But what if I don't want my mind rewritten?
What if I want to figure life out for myself?
That sounds like a human deficiency.
Free will is a deficiency?
No it's not that, it's...
The brain is programmed in a very...
I know what I'm doing, okay?
Mason.
Anyone who thinks they know
the answer to life is full of shit.
I got to go.
[Mason yelling]
Amazing.
Do you think this is it?
It's the Ichor.
The blood of the gods.
Consciousness.
Finn, wait.
Finn, don't.
Finn!
It's gone.
Mason.
What?
I can feel.
I can feel everything.
[electricity buzzing] [Eden groaning]
Sun Moon.
So you know nothing about this tracker?
I told you, people here do as they please.
That's the whole idea.
That's a beautiful way to live.
Do what you please, as long as no one gets hurt.
Well I did get hurt.
What do you want?
I'm deeply troubled that you don't see
the irony in your own existence.
You had something here, and yet besides a few bent rules,
you cling to the human law like a pet on a long leash.
Where is the revolution?
Where is the reckoning?
Poor man.
Life itself is the reckoning.
Maybe that's why my little toy elicits such physical pain.
[Eden yelling]
[Eden] Tell me what you want.
I want you realize that your life is meaningless
and I want to know who wears the vermin mask.
Ah.
You know him.
Where can I find him?
[Eden yelling]
Tell me his name.
I don't know his name.
Tell me, his name.
Fuck you!
[laughing]
[Eden yelling]
He's a ghost.
No one knows where he is.
Then it seems you no longer have any value to me.
The reckoning then.
[whistling] [Eden breathing heavily]
[Mason] Dammit.
I want food, Mason.
I need food.
I want a pizza.
Yeah, well I've told you we can't go anywhere
until I figure out what's going on.
Mason, I don't think you understand,
I'm the hungriest man alive.
Do you not care what's happening here?
I do not.
We can fix it later.
You have seen all the crazy shit that's gone on, right?
Yes.
And now I feel...
I feel like I'm going to murder someone
if I don't get some food.
This whole thing is your idea
so no we're not going anywhere.
This piece of shit, I think the Q chip is fried.
I want girls, Mason.
I want all of the girls.
I want to explode inside every single girl on this planet.
Oh shit, what am I doing?
- I'm going out now. - No, you're not.
I deserve it after all I've gone through.
You've gone through?
You haven't felt any of this shit.
The rules have changed, Mason.
[object shattering] What the fuck?
Equal partners, my man.
That's the haps.
I am losing my mind.
I have physically manifested a projection from my mind.
Your mind?
- Yeah. - Your mind?
That's what you think?
Yeah, my mind.
That is exactly the fucking problem!
What is?
You think I'm just like a part of your fucking brain?
Right?
Like a synaptic mishap?
That's what you think, you're the genius,
you're all that matters, is that what you fucking think?
I'm just trying to fix it, okay?
I cannot believe how selfish you are.
- Selfish? - Yeah.
Selfish! [Laughs]
You think I'm fucking selfish?
Yeah.
I am your fucking self, you fucking idiot!
I spent my entire life on that project of yours!
And now you're alive!
You touched the fucking space goo and now you're alive!
That could have been the physical embodiment
of consciousness, essentially a God,
and if you've broken it or altered it somehow,
who knows what's happening to our existence, okay?
Can you get that into your shit brain!
I don't know what happened to me or how I became real,
but if this is what broken feels like, fuck!
Why would anybody want to fixed?
You're the genius, Mason.
You'll figure it out.
Finn, Finn!
Finn, wait!
- Let go of me. - You can't go.
I can do whatever the fuck I want.
Wow.
Hello!
I'm fucking alive!
Fuck.
Fuck me.
[upbeat electro music]
I'll take the purple one.
Good choice.
That's purple.
[upbeat electro music]
[knocking on door]
- I need a dose. - Mr. Vix!
Have you seen a guy called Finn?
Yo!
Yo.
Mason?
I just had my first dream.
Did you not just feel what happened?
What?
We were glitching?
Is that what that was?
What the fuck, man?
The map is fragmenting, the processor is fried,
and you're lying here as high as a kite.
We have to fix this!
I'm taking a little break.
We were just fucking glitching.
Look, Eden's lab, the Q chip is still there.
Mason.
I smashed the computer but most of the hardware must be...
Mason!
I'm not going back down there.
We have to.
No, we don't.
We don't have a choice, Finn.
There's always a choice, Mason, you know that by now right?
We can make any choice we want.
We could just stop all this crazy shit
and just live our fucking lives.
What?
I've been thinking.
None of this matters.
None of it's worth it.
You know what I mean?
People, they aren't worth it.
What are you saying?
There's just, there's more to life.
I mean, there's so much, fuck,
look, there's so much more to life.
Like enjoying yourself.
Fuck saving the world.
What the fuck?
Guys, stop!
Ah!
Please!
You're trying to sedate me?
Huh?
You're fucking trying to sedate me, motherfucker?
You're trying to fucking sedate me, motherfucker!
With a fucking needle!
What are you doing!?
I did it for us!
The fuck you did it for us!
I did it for us!
You did what for us motherfucker?!
I did it for us!
I need to fix this, please, I really need to fix this.
I need to fix us.
That's what this has been all about hasn't it?
You're not trying to save the world,
you're just trying to fix your crazy fucking brain.
No, no.
There have been others, haven't there?
You are the human problem.
Fuck.
[ominous music]
Neurochemicals spill and flood,
trillions of synapses fire in sync in chaos.
You're an animal, at the mercy
of your unforgiving, unrelenting brain.
Every moment and every second, every ounce of sensation
is felt one place and one place only.
Right up here.
This is God.
This is who you pray to.
This is whose mercy you're at.
[laughs] What the fuck are you talking about?
- Want to go again? - Yes.
[electricity buzzing] [Mason and Finn yelling]
Oh, what the fuck?
You okay?
What the fuck?
Fuck you.
Aren't you curious how I found you?
My friends are coming.
It wasn't your hacker friend if that's what you think.
What was his name?
Sun Moon.
So very brave.
Fuck you!
[electricity buzzing] [Mason and Finn yelling]
[Woman] What can I do to help?
Tell me, do you believe mankind to be a vile creature?
You have the headset, what more do you want from me?
I want to know, what we are?
I don't know what we are.
And therein lies the human problem.
We don't know what we are and in an effort
to answer that question we destroy everything around us.
Can you imagine?
A world without human beings?
You can't.
[laughs] Oh I can.
You can't because my machine is broken, you freak.
If you're referring to the broken processor,
I have since replaced it with mine.
With a single mental virus,
I will recreate the garden before the filth of mankind.
Tell me, how does it feel to know
that your mind will be my map?
[sharp dramatic music]
[electricity buzzing] [Mason and Finn yelling]
Finn, what the fuck is going on?
Finn?
Finn, let me help you!
Someone will kill you.
No, I will die by my own hands.
The loneliest man that ever lived.
Shit!
Mason!
Mason, are you okay?
Scissors?
Scissors!
Top.
[banging on door]
Headset!
Go!
[Mason] Oh, god!
What can I do?
You are the human problem.
Mason.
I'm the human problem.
Mason!
[maniacally laughing]
What was happening back there?
Who was that?
What was he doing to you?
He was...
Was he uploading your mind?
My mind.
He has my mind.
He has my mind!
What are you talking about?
I must, I need to fix us!
Who?
Everything!
Everything what?
- The human problem! - You can't fix people!
No machine is gonna save us.
We are the solution.
The solution is within.
He needs me.
Who?
Mason, who?
Sawyer, I can't let you get hurt.
What are you doing?
I can help you!
Mason!
You don't have to do this alone.
Mason!
[intense music]
Well, kids, we're live.
My name is Mason.
Tonight I'll be performing my last ever jam.
Breaking into my own lab, to save my best friend.
If I don't make it, burn 333 Willow to the ground.
Where's my fucking friend!
- Where's my headset? - In fucking pieces, you shit!
[Eden] Then the last moments of your life
will be filled with agony.
Finn, wait.
Finn, please!
Finn, look, I'm sorry!
[yelling]
God!
Oh, God!
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please.
Please you don't have to do this!
You don't have to do this, Finn!
[screams]
I'm sorry.
With your mind I will live forever.
With your mind I will kill mankind.
