00:00The prisoners are sent to a high-tech prison, where an AI has absolute control over their fate,
00:05determining whether they will win their freedom or be condemned to a life of slavery.
00:09A man is standing at a bar looking at the photographs hanging on the wall.
00:12Suddenly, two men appear behind him and press their weapons against his back.
00:17A moment later, they pull the trigger.
00:19When he regains consciousness, he finds himself in a strange cell with no windows or doors
00:24and a wall made of glowing panels.
00:27Before he can observe his surroundings, a voice interrupts him.
00:30He turns around to see a surveillance camera descending from the ceiling.
00:34The device introduces itself as Howard.
00:37Howard explains that its job is to monitor and assist the prisoner, but it knows nothing beyond that.
00:42The man, now realizing that he has been arrested, demands to know what he is being accused of.
00:47Help me reach my goal of 10 likes and 5 comments.
00:50Comment as much as you want. The goal is to achieve it.
00:53Howard, however, does not have access to that information.
00:57It repeats that its only purpose is to maintain the prisoner's well-being,
01:01and it offers a selection of food and drink.
01:03The man refuses.
01:05Howard then suggests some exercise, and when the prisoner agrees, a treadmill emerges from the wall.
01:11Frustrated, the man asks how long he will be kept there.
01:14The voice replies that he will remain in the cell until his case is processed,
01:18although it has no idea how long that will take.
01:20The man demands to speak to a human operator, but Howard informs him that it is a fully autonomous system.
01:27No one is in charge.
01:28As the frustration increases, the prisoner tries different ways to get answers, but Howard remains useless.
01:34At some point, he enters a trance and remembers a day from his past,
01:38waking up in the morning, taking a shower, writing a password on his computer, and retrieving a flash drive.
01:44He remembers seeing the news about the arrest of Fletcher May, the leader of the syndicate.
01:49He then feeds his dog, puts on his jacket, and leaves his house.
01:53Back in the cell, the man begs Howard to notify someone that he has been arrested.
01:57His friends and family have no idea where he is.
02:00Once again, he asks the robot for information, but Howard doesn't understand.
02:04Defeated, the prisoner finally asks for food, and as a bowl fills with mashed potatoes,
02:10he confesses something to his mechanical warden.
02:12His dog is still at home, locked inside his apartment.
02:16No one will hear it barking if no one checks.
02:17Howard refuses to help.
02:19He is not programmed for that.
02:21The man explodes in anger.
02:23Sometime later, he finds himself falling back into that same memory.
02:27After leaving his apartment, he takes the subway to visit his father at the hospital.
02:31Later that night, he walks down a dark street, moving like someone trying to stay out of sight.
02:35Back in the cell, he opens his eyes.
02:38Howard immediately descends from the ceiling.
02:40The man is thirsty and asks for running water.
02:42The robot obeys, fills a glass, and when he hands it to him, he notices a puddle on the floor and asks what happened.
02:49Frank explains that he wasn't given a bucket to get through the night.
02:52Howard responds that in the future, he should request such needs.
02:56His cell is equipped with a bathroom.
02:58As soon as he says this, a door appears in the wall.
03:01Frank enters and finds the toilet, but the moment he steps in, the door slams shut behind him.
03:06A noise comes from the main chamber when Howard finally lets him out.
03:10The puddle is gone. Someone or something has cleaned it up.
03:13The memory pulls him back again from the dark street.
03:16Frank enters a bustling cafe.
03:18He speaks with the barista and orders a coffee.
03:20In the cell, he tries the prison food.
03:22It's disgusting.
03:23Howard offers to taste it, but Frank sees no point.
03:26He starts testing the robot with different phrases, pushing its limits,
03:30but ultimately accepts that he is talking to a machine.
03:33Despair overtakes him.
03:34He bangs on the walls, shouting to be let out.
03:37The cycle continues.
03:38Rage!
03:39Hopelessness is another trance.
03:40In his frustration, he lashes out at Howard, demanding that he stop talking to him altogether.
03:45Anyway, it's useless.
03:47He hasn't answered a single question.
03:49Finally, Frank collapses into a chair and decides to at least learn more about the machine.
03:54Howard explains what kind of hardware he is made of.
03:57Frank sarcastically expresses his joy that such expensive technology is being used to serve him food.
04:03He shares his thoughts with the robot.
04:04How not everything should be automated.
04:06How some things shouldn't be left in the hands of machines.
04:09And then, the memory returns.
04:11In the cafe, the barista tries to guess his name after preparing his drink.
04:16She asks him if he likes the photographs he's been looking at.
04:18She took them herself, but never managed to turn her photography into a career.
04:23Then, she takes his hand and finally guesses his name correctly.
04:27Frank is stunned.
04:28He looks down at her name tag, Gabby, as he returns to the photographs.
04:32Understanding strikes behind him.
04:34Two men have appeared, and at any second, they're going to pull the trigger.
04:38In his cell, Frank carefully gets up from the bed.
04:40He walks to the opposite wall and stares at the glowing cells.
04:44He begins to realize that this is some kind of device that controls his memories of the day he was arrested.
04:49He's back in the cafe, talking to Gabby.
04:52She praises his photos, and he's completely confused by what's happening.
04:55She takes his hand again and guesses his name with fear.
04:58He pulls his wrist from her grip and asks her to stop, but two armed guards appear behind him once again.
05:03Back in his cell, catching his breath, he reflects out loud that he's seeing memories of the same day over and over again.
05:10He asks Howard what the shiny thing on the wall is, but Howard doesn't know and guesses it's just ventilation.
05:16Resigned to the bland food, Frank decides to eat.
05:18Howard asks him why he hasn't been given any additional information.
05:22Frank suggests that maybe the person who created it is afraid the robot could be hacked.
05:27He asks if Howard has worked with other prisoners, to which Howard replies that Frank is his first assignment.
05:33After a moment of reflection, Frank suggests that might not be true.
05:36Howard's memory could be erased and reset, which is why he doesn't remember any previous prisoners.
05:42That means Howard himself is also a prisoner of a village.
05:45Then the computer recalls one of their previous conversations and asks what Frank meant when he said,
05:50Not everything can be computerized.
05:53At first, Frank refuses to talk about it, but eventually opens up about his father.
05:57His father died of heart disease when he got sick.
06:00The doctors put him on a machine that kept him alive for four years.
06:03He lived four more years than he was supposed to.
06:06Frank doesn't consider it a gift of fate.
06:08His father had accepted death and was ready to go, but the machine took that right away.
06:12He received a life that couldn't even be called life.
06:15Everyone around him celebrated, but no one thought about what was really happening.
06:19His father had been a very strong man, and Frank had never seen him broken.
06:23But the illness changed everything.
06:25Frank is convinced that the alliance between humans and machines bodes nothing good.
06:29After hearing him, the robot concludes that it's all very interesting and that it really wants to help.
06:35While they were talking, the robot found an error and discovered that Frank had been brought here under protocol KBN-6.
06:40This means he was sent back to where he came from, but that's impossible.
06:44There's an option to send a repair request to contact a coordinator, but that request will be denied if nothing is broken.
06:50Over time, Frank prepares to destroy Howard.
06:53At the last moment, the robot stops him and warns him of a problem, as Howard knows what Frank is about to do.
06:59He is forced to activate the security system.
07:01However, he cannot explain what he is doing.
07:04Frank then suggests thinking of another plan and asks for coffee.
07:07Meanwhile, while waiting for the computer to get distracted, Frank delivers a powerful blow to the robot.
07:14Immediately after the security systems activate, gas begins to fill the room and Frank collapses unconscious.
07:20At that moment, he sees images of himself lying on a table with his head in a vice, while someone injects a substance into him.
07:27Frank wakes up again in the cafe, where Gabby greets him and offers him coffee.
07:31She once again tries to guess his name, but Frank doesn't react.
07:34He wants to understand what is happening and why he is here again.
07:38After thinking for a moment, he realizes he didn't pay for the coffee, which is why those two men haven't come looking for him yet.
07:45He tries to explain to Gabby what's happening to him, but she doesn't understand and asks him to help clean the cafe.
07:50Suddenly, Frank has an idea.
07:52He finds a scanner and asks Gabby to prepare another coffee.
07:55That way, he can check what data the scanner collects.
07:58She nervously agrees and pays for the drink, looking at the data.
08:02Frank sees that it now contains information about another person.
08:06Just then, two men shoot him in the back.
08:08When he comes out of the trance, he tells Howard that he has been locked up by mistake.
08:12The scanner confuses him with someone else.
08:14The robot doesn't believe him.
08:16There's no way such an error could have occurred.
08:18Frank remembers that there was a system failure that night, which likely led to this outcome.
08:23The robot suggests that Frank might have wanted to believe he was creating the fantasy in his mind, but Frank disagrees.
08:28He cannot change his subconscious, and this memory is from there.
08:32He asks Howard not to try contacting the operators anymore.
08:36Instead, they'll try to find out whose identification number it was.
08:39However, Frank cannot remember all the digits and goes back into the trance.
08:44The day starts again.
08:45He wakes up, takes a shower, watches the news.
08:48He gives water to the dog, and then drives to see his father.
08:51After that, he heads to the bar, but on the way he notices a strange glow followed by an explosion and a cloud of fire.
08:57When he returns to the cell, he discovers that all systems are down and the emergency lights are on.
09:03He doesn't know what to do next.
09:04No one answers his calls, and there is no food or water.
09:08After a while, he suddenly hears a noise from the wall.
09:11It turns out he's not alone.
09:12In the adjacent cell is Fletcher May.
09:15Fletcher happily announces that the alliance has been broken.
09:18The anti-government forces have destroyed the entire network, cutting off its power supply.
09:23He paid a high price to see his drones fall from the sky.
09:25Now, they need to think about escaping.
09:28As they look for a way out of their cells, Frank shares his thoughts with Fletcher.
09:32He feels that way.
09:33It's not a power outage.
09:34He heard explosions.
09:36If the anti-government forces really wanted to destroy SN, they probably retaliated at that moment.
09:41Fletcher starts poking at part of the cell lining and discovers concrete underneath, falling into despair after a while.
09:48Frank asks Fletcher if they've ever used a memory cleansing device on him.
09:51Fletcher explains that they tried, but it didn't work, and he shares how to fool the device.
09:56It connects to the neurotransmitters that form memory and captures a signal that creates the memory leading to secret information.
10:03The key is not to hide the information itself, but to hide the path to it.
10:07This can be done by replacing memories, thinking about childhood, for example, and remembering everything in detail.
10:13After a while, Fletcher calls Frank and tells him he can't live like this anymore.
10:17He knows they'll never be found, and if the power comes back, everything will repeat.
10:23He doesn't want to go back to a place where reality and dreams are indistinguishable.
10:27With those words, he ends his life.
10:29The man tries to stop his friend, but it's too late.
10:32Suddenly, an alarm sounds and gas begins to come out of the walls.
10:36When Frank opens his eyes, he sees that the power has returned.
10:39Remembering Fletcher, he runs to the big place where they have been communicating and calls out to him, but he only hears silence in response.
10:46Then, Howard suddenly comes back to life.
10:49After talking to him, Frank realizes the robot has rebooted and doesn't remember anything.
10:54Desperate, he sits in a chair and falls into a trance.
10:57He finds himself back at the bar behind counter.
11:00Gabby offers him coffee, but he refuses.
11:02He just wants to sit there and be left alone.
11:04The girl calls it by his name and tells him he can stay as long as he wants.
11:08Frank is surprised.
11:09This time, she didn't guess his name, but said it right away.
11:12Gabby responds that they already know each other, so there's no need for her to guess.
11:16He starts to argue, saying they are familiar from his past dreams, but she won't remember that.
11:21Their conversation is interrupted by a customer, a guy asking for another cup of coffee.
11:26At that moment, Frank notices a scanner and hides behind the counter.
11:30He doesn't want to be scanned again, nor shot.
11:32Once again, the girl is puzzled by his actions and tries to understand what's going on.
11:37He explains that he's not actually there and that she doesn't exist.
11:40He is currently in a government facility where they are using a neuroscanner to extract his memories.
11:46They are trying to find evidence of a crime he didn't commit.
11:49That's why everyone is in his mind and why they've spoken before.
11:52Most likely, the scanner at the coffee shop malfunctioned, and he walked straight into a trap man by government agents.
11:58After telling her all this, he asks her to leave him alone and let him sit in peace.
12:03Gabby smiles and says this is the most unusual attempt to get free coffee she's ever heard of.
12:08Later, they sit at a table drinking coffee and discussing their memories.
12:13The girl thinks it's not the worst day.
12:15She also asks him when he plans to return to the bunker, but he doesn't know that he can't control it
12:19and is very grateful to her for letting him stay in the closed cafe.
12:23Over and over again, he relives the same day he was shot, drinking coffee and talking to Gabby.
12:28Howard is worried about Frank's condition, but can't respond.
12:31Once again, he falls into a trance, gets shot again, and once again tells the girl that she's only in his head.
12:37They dance in the cafe and in the cell, and once again, two armed men come for him, but this time the script changes.
12:45Frank and Gabby are the ones who strike first, take the agent's weapons, and try to get them to explain why they've come for him, but they remain silent.
12:53Frank then asks Gabby to let them go.
12:55After all, this is all happening in his head, so they don't have the answer.
12:59She reassures him, saying they'll figure it all out, no matter how long it takes.
13:03Frank finds himself back in the cell after using the treadmill.
13:06He heads to the shower and talks with Howard.
13:09He tells the robot that he has plans for the evening with Gabby.
13:12During their conversation, Frank notices that the computer is malfunctioning, clearly broken.
13:17After that, he falls into a trance again.
13:19Now he's at home with the bartender nearby.
13:22The prisoner tells him his guard shut down again for 12 seconds.
13:25At the same time, his cycle is coming to an end, which means a reset will happen soon.
13:30He can't wait any longer.
13:31The next malfunctions will start again in about three months.
13:34The girl is upset by the news, but she accepts his decision.
13:38After grabbing a USB drive from the computer, she heads to her father's house and then to the coffee shop.
13:43Gabby suggests he wait another three months.
13:46Maybe they'll come up with a better plan, but Frank doesn't want to wait.
13:49He's not sure he can handle another three months.
13:52The waiter asks him for a favor.
13:54If he manages to get free, he should find his true self after this.
13:57She makes him a coffee and kisses him, but then two armed men appear behind him and shoot Frank in the back.
14:04In the cell, Frank wakes up and gets dressed.
14:06Howard offers to make him a coffee and realizes that Frank is walking in full form.
14:11It seems the cell is cold and Frank can raise the temperature, but he refuses and asks for coffee with cream.
14:17A minute later, Frank realizes the robot is malfunctioning, which means it's time to act.
14:22He grabs a pillowcase, puts it over Howard's head, and waits for the security systems to activate.
14:27Once the robot reboots, it calls for help, and another robot enters the cell.
14:31Frank attacks it and sneaks out of the cell, navigating the hallways.
14:35He finds no one and successfully exits through a hatch to the surface.
14:40After looking around, he realizes he is in the middle of a desert.
14:43In the distance, a wind farm appears, and he decides to head toward it.
14:47However, when he arrives, he finds no one there.
14:50Continuing his journey, he reaches a highway and finds a gas station.
14:55When he enters the store, he immediately looks for water and drinks it eagerly.
14:59Turning around, he notices photos of a cafe on the wall.
15:02He is stunned and can't believe what he's seeing.
15:05Frank suddenly finds himself back in his cell.
15:07Desperate and horrified, he sits in the chair.
15:10He is reliving the same day again.
15:12The life fades from his eyes.
15:13Howard offers coffee or food, but the man says it's all over.
15:17If the robot doesn't want Frank to die, it has to let him go.
15:20But it can't.
15:21It's not authorized to do that.
15:23The man tries to convince the computer that it can.
15:25He confesses that he knows why he's here.
15:28He was part of a syndicate and wrote a virus meant to destroy the entire system.
15:32He knew they were after him, but he couldn't let them read his memories.
15:35If they did, he would be trapped in prison forever.
15:38He knows what the thing in the wall is and how to trick it.
15:41He also tells Howard that he is broken and that no one will come to fix him because there
15:46are no more people here.
15:47He asks the robot to override the protocol, but it can't.
15:50The man gets angry, pleads, and screams, but it's useless.
15:55Howard offers to play music and Frank agrees.
15:57The man falls into a trance and at the same time makes a rope with a piece of cloth.
16:02He reaches a bar and sits on a chair while in his cell.
16:05He throws the rope over his head, climbs onto the chair, and hangs himself.
16:09Gabby urges him to wake up, but he doesn't hear her.
16:12The cell's security systems activate and a robot arrives to help.
16:15It cuts the rope with a laser and the man falls to the ground.
16:18Taking advantage of the open door, he runs out of the cell and asks Howard for help.
16:23Seeing his protege in danger, the robot closes the cell doors, leaving Frank inside, looking
16:29around.
16:30Frank finds a server room.
16:31There are no people and the cameras are off.
16:33After examining everything, he tells Howard he won't be able to fix it.
16:37The robot asks if he will come back, but Frank says no.
16:40Sitting in front of the monitors, the man asks what LSO means and asks again where Howard
16:45is from.
16:46Howard repeats that he is a life support operator born in Austin, but raised near Seattle.
16:50As he speaks, Frank remembers sitting by his dying father's bed, shutting down the entire
16:55system.
16:56He leaves the bunker to the surface and finds himself in the middle of snow-covered mountains
17:00with no one in sight.
17:02Hungry and freezing, he keeps walking, following his instincts until he reaches a large pine tree.
17:07Looking at it, he realizes it's the place from the cafe photograph.
17:12Collapsing to his knees, he closes his eyes.
17:14When he opens them again, he finds two tourists standing next to him.
17:18The news reports that a man was found by tourists in the Utah mountains.
17:21He is the sole survivor of the ASN Detention Center, which was abandoned by the military
17:26about two years ago during release.
17:28His life was sustained by a computerized security system designed for his imprisonment.
17:33The power came from wind farms until the reserves ran out.
17:36More than 300 prisoners were found dead, and he is the only one who survived.
17:41Secretary of State Becker commented that this serves as a harsh and tragic reminder that
17:46the most sacred human rights were violated.
17:48Meanwhile, Frank arrives at the cafe, the same one from his memories.
17:52There he sees Gabby, who begins to tell him about the photo again, but he already knows
17:56everything.
17:58Throwing the USB stick into the trash, he sits at the table and waits for his coffee.
18:02When the girl brings him the drink, he thanks her and calls her by her name.
18:05She is surprised and informs him that her real name is Melon, and that the last time she
18:09was here, she was wearing a tag with her colleague's name.
18:12He is delighted to meet her and decides to guess her name.
18:15Meanwhile, a camera appears on the ceiling, identical in appearance to Howard.
