WEBVTT

01:41.590 --> 01:43.384
Hey,
come take a look at this.

01:43.509 --> 01:44.802
What is that?

01:44.885 --> 01:47.346
Somebody prints on paper
in this day and age?

01:47.430 --> 01:49.223
It's a spirituality magazine

01:49.348 --> 01:51.142
published 15 years ago.

01:51.225 --> 01:54.562
There's an article in it
covering an MIT researcher

01:54.687 --> 01:55.938
visiting a commune.

01:56.021 --> 01:57.398
Hm. He's kind of hot.

01:57.523 --> 01:58.357
That's Skinner.

01:58.482 --> 01:59.567
- Huh?
- What?

01:59.692 --> 02:01.360
In his younger days.

02:01.485 --> 02:04.071
- For real?
- "Despite his young age,

02:04.196 --> 02:05.364
Dr. Skinner is known

02:05.489 --> 02:07.533
for his numerous
scientific achievements.

02:07.616 --> 02:09.243
And he was greatly impressed
by the commune's

02:09.368 --> 02:12.538
philosophy after visiting."
There you have it.

02:12.663 --> 02:14.915
You trust what's
in this magazine?

02:15.040 --> 02:17.543
In any case,
the commune featured in it

02:17.626 --> 02:20.379
still exists
as a religious organization.

02:20.504 --> 02:22.965
It's called,
"Tower of the Truth."

02:25.134 --> 02:26.844
Oh, it's nothing.

02:26.927 --> 02:29.930
This group enshrined
a post-singularity AI

02:30.055 --> 02:33.726
as a superior being
and worships it as a god.

02:33.809 --> 02:35.561
Apparently,
they believe

02:35.644 --> 02:37.897
that since it is free
of human ego or desire,

02:38.022 --> 02:40.316
it's perfect for a
modern-day deity.

02:40.399 --> 02:43.861
- Mm?
- Uh, sounds kinda sketchy to me.

02:43.944 --> 02:45.779
They've cut themselves
off from society,

02:45.905 --> 02:48.699
and are self-sufficient,
living off the land.

02:48.782 --> 02:51.076
Isn't that
the perfect hideout?

02:51.202 --> 02:53.412
Skinner could hide
from the world there.

02:53.537 --> 02:55.623
That idea's been tossed
around before, right?

02:55.748 --> 02:57.750
Betcha 10 bucks
Skinner isn't there.

02:57.875 --> 02:59.585
How 'bout 20 that he is?

02:59.668 --> 03:01.670
- Come on, guys.
- Elaina.

03:01.754 --> 03:03.923
Any chance you can get
access to their AI?

03:04.048 --> 03:05.758
Not possible.

03:05.841 --> 03:09.428
Naga is completely disconnected
from the outside world.

03:09.553 --> 03:11.430
- "Naga"?
- Uh...

03:11.514 --> 03:13.098
That's the name of the AI.

03:13.224 --> 03:16.101
Hm?
Wait, how do <i>you</i> know that?

03:17.061 --> 03:18.646
Well...

03:18.771 --> 03:20.439
that's where I grew up.

03:20.523 --> 03:21.815
What?

03:21.941 --> 03:24.151
Hm?

03:24.276 --> 03:27.613
Okay then, if we can't make
contact from outside,

03:27.696 --> 03:29.198
then we'll have
to sneak in.

03:29.281 --> 03:33.285
Uh, well, if I pretend
to return as a believer,

03:33.369 --> 03:34.870
they should welcome me back.

03:34.954 --> 03:36.997
- By yourself?
- No way. Too dangerous.

03:37.122 --> 03:38.958
Someone would need
to go with you.

03:39.041 --> 03:41.627
They'd be suspicious
of adult outsiders.

03:41.710 --> 03:44.296
But a kid would be different.

03:45.548 --> 03:46.966
Huh?

04:22.042 --> 04:25.087
Okay. We'll be stationed
at a nearby motel.

04:25.170 --> 04:27.423
In the event you
actually find Skinner,

04:27.506 --> 04:28.924
let us know immediately.

04:29.008 --> 04:31.010
And if we don't hear from you
within 72 hours,

04:31.135 --> 04:33.554
then we'll head in
for the rescue.

04:33.679 --> 04:36.098
Here. Take this with you.

04:36.181 --> 04:37.224
What is it?

04:37.349 --> 04:39.351
It's a smoke bomb.

04:39.435 --> 04:40.728
Might come in handy.

04:40.853 --> 04:43.689
Wow, talk about
some old-school gear.

04:43.814 --> 04:45.774
- Leland.
- Hm?

04:45.858 --> 04:47.526
Keep Elaina safe, okay?

04:47.651 --> 04:50.362
Well, yeah, of course I will.

05:21.268 --> 05:23.604
Elaina?

05:23.729 --> 05:25.272
No way.

05:25.397 --> 05:27.232
It's really you!

05:28.067 --> 05:29.026
Hanna.

05:29.109 --> 05:30.819
Elaina!

05:30.903 --> 05:32.655
What a wonderful day.

05:32.738 --> 05:34.657
I'm so glad you've come back
to us.

05:34.740 --> 05:36.742
Uh... well...

05:36.825 --> 05:38.744
So, hey,
could you introduce me?

05:38.827 --> 05:42.414
Oh, this is Leon.
He's a new friend of mine.

05:42.539 --> 05:43.707
Nice to meet you.

05:43.791 --> 05:45.376
And this is Hanna.

05:45.459 --> 05:48.671
She's an old... friend.

05:48.754 --> 05:50.756
It's nice to meet you, as well.

06:03.018 --> 06:04.228
Uh...

06:04.853 --> 06:07.606
Mo-- Carla.

06:07.690 --> 06:09.942
Elaina?

06:10.025 --> 06:12.611
It's just like
I expected it would be.

06:12.736 --> 06:14.988
Um, I'm back.

06:15.114 --> 06:18.367
I always knew you'd return
one day.

06:18.450 --> 06:19.952
And now you know.

06:20.077 --> 06:23.122
The outside world is full
of filth and sinners.

06:23.205 --> 06:24.790
Goodness me.

06:24.915 --> 06:27.626
Welcome home!

06:27.751 --> 06:30.337
Elaina,
it's great to have you back.

06:30.462 --> 06:34.299
And a hearty welcome to you,
new member of the family.

06:34.425 --> 06:37.720
My name is Billy,
the leader of this community.

06:37.803 --> 06:39.471
Uh, okay.

06:39.596 --> 06:42.474
You arrived just in time
for the Holy Festival.

06:42.558 --> 06:46.478
Yes, the almighty Naga
must have guided you here.

06:52.151 --> 06:54.445
Hey, Leon,
do you have anything else

06:54.528 --> 06:56.029
that connects to the internet?

06:56.155 --> 06:57.114
Uh, no.

06:57.197 --> 07:00.033
- Same for you, Elaina?
- Yeah.

07:00.159 --> 07:03.078
The outside world is fraught
with false information.

07:03.162 --> 07:06.457
And people get led astray
by it pretty quickly.

07:06.540 --> 07:07.791
But don't worry.

07:07.875 --> 07:10.753
Here, the almighty Naga
guides us in all ways.

07:10.836 --> 07:13.213
- Really?
- Hopefully it won't take long

07:13.338 --> 07:16.467
to undo the brainwashing
you suffered outside.

07:17.551 --> 07:20.179
Brainwashing, huh?

07:43.118 --> 07:47.039
No luck.

07:47.164 --> 07:48.540
Leland?

07:48.665 --> 07:49.583
Hey, Elaina.

07:49.708 --> 07:50.918
How is it?

07:51.043 --> 07:53.212
I can't even get
a satellite signal here.

07:53.337 --> 07:56.507
They must be jamming
everything.

08:01.053 --> 08:05.265
Yeah. Can you get me
a list of past MIT researchers?

08:05.390 --> 08:07.476
I'll try reaching out
to my contacts.

08:07.559 --> 08:11.522
Also, it looks like the FBI
is starting to make some moves.

08:11.605 --> 08:14.024
Guess this is what
a turf war is like.

08:14.107 --> 08:15.526
Well, I'll be in touch

08:15.609 --> 08:17.820
when I have a better idea
of what's going on.

08:17.903 --> 08:19.863
Copy that.

08:20.823 --> 08:22.366
Hmm.

08:25.285 --> 08:27.538
No word from them yet, huh?

08:27.621 --> 08:30.040
We just have to have faith
and wait.

08:30.123 --> 08:32.084
Do you think they're all right?

08:32.209 --> 08:34.336
They're members of Lazarus,
just like us.

08:34.419 --> 08:36.964
You shouldn't be treating them
like little kids.

08:37.089 --> 08:39.341
I know, but still...

08:42.135 --> 08:45.305
Looks like someone has ants
in his pants.

08:45.430 --> 08:48.600
Talk about a waste of energy.

08:48.725 --> 08:51.103
- So, hey.
- Hm?

08:51.228 --> 08:54.231
That lady from earlier
is your mom, right?

08:54.314 --> 08:56.608
- Yeah.
- The two of you don't seem

08:56.692 --> 08:59.278
particularly close.

08:59.403 --> 09:02.239
Everyone is treated
as one big family.

09:02.322 --> 09:05.951
So any biological ties
are to be forgotten.

09:06.076 --> 09:07.953
So we can't say things
like "Mom."

09:08.036 --> 09:09.955
That's messed up.

09:10.080 --> 09:12.624
How does she feel about it?

09:12.749 --> 09:14.960
To be honest...

09:15.085 --> 09:18.630
their God is the only thing
she ever thinks about.

09:18.755 --> 09:20.716
What about your dad?

09:20.799 --> 09:23.135
I don't know who my father is.

09:23.218 --> 09:23.969
Really?

09:24.094 --> 09:26.513
It's very odd, right?

09:26.638 --> 09:30.976
But, you know, I went my whole
life thinking this was normal

09:31.101 --> 09:34.771
since this was the only world
I knew.

09:34.855 --> 09:38.650
Even so, it is weird, isn't it?

09:38.775 --> 09:41.653
Uh...
Uh, well...

09:56.819 --> 09:59.822
Around here,
we're entirely self-sufficient.

09:59.905 --> 10:02.325
That goes for everything
from our clothes and food

10:02.408 --> 10:04.118
to daily necessities.

10:04.201 --> 10:06.203
No money is used whatsoever.

10:06.329 --> 10:08.706
We function by bartering
for things instead.

10:08.789 --> 10:11.751
All is ordained
by the almighty Naga.

10:17.590 --> 10:19.884
So tell me, what were
your lives on the outside like?

10:20.009 --> 10:22.928
Unlike here, you have to have
money to live, right?

10:23.054 --> 10:24.972
- Uh--
- Um, you see,

10:25.056 --> 10:26.223
we worked part-time and stuff.

10:26.307 --> 10:27.475
That's right.

10:27.558 --> 10:29.852
- What kind of job did you do?
- Uh...

10:29.935 --> 10:32.730
It's hard to explain.
We were paid to go find people.

10:32.813 --> 10:35.024
That's where Elaina and I met, actually.

10:35.107 --> 10:37.276
Wow. So was it a difficult job?

10:37.401 --> 10:39.362
Absolutely.

10:39.445 --> 10:41.947
I got held up at gunpoint
by debt collectors,

10:42.073 --> 10:44.575
chased around by thugs
from a gang,

10:44.700 --> 10:48.579
forced to dress as a girl
and then got chased yet again.

10:49.497 --> 10:52.249
Reflecting back
on all of it now,

10:52.375 --> 10:54.585
it was a terrible workplace.

10:54.710 --> 10:56.504
Yeah, kinda.

11:00.549 --> 11:04.678
O' Holy Spirit,
endow us with your being.

11:04.762 --> 11:06.180
Love Naga.

11:06.263 --> 11:08.432
- Love Naga.
- Love Naga.

11:08.516 --> 11:10.893
- Love Naga.
- Love Naga.

11:14.772 --> 11:18.484
Don't look at it
and just open your mouth.

11:19.568 --> 11:23.239
It's proof of our bond.
Now swallow it.

11:27.284 --> 11:28.744
Attention, everyone,

11:28.828 --> 11:31.789
Elaina and the new family member
that she brought along

11:31.872 --> 11:34.959
shall receive a special blessing
at the Holy Festival

11:35.084 --> 11:37.253
two days from now.

11:38.587 --> 11:41.340
I managed to dig up some intel
on Naga.

11:41.465 --> 11:43.092
So what is it?

11:43.175 --> 11:44.510
15 years ago,

11:44.635 --> 11:47.138
MIT developed an AI meant
to imitate

11:47.263 --> 11:49.473
the human neural network.

11:49.598 --> 11:51.559
Neural what now?

11:51.642 --> 11:54.728
It's based on our
central nervous system.

11:54.812 --> 11:56.605
Uh-huh.

11:56.689 --> 11:58.482
And the brain
they modeled it after

11:58.566 --> 12:01.485
was someone heralded
as the next Einstein,

12:01.569 --> 12:03.737
none other than Dr. Skinner.

12:03.821 --> 12:05.030
Whoa.

12:05.156 --> 12:06.532
They used it for an experiment

12:06.657 --> 12:08.409
and programmed it
with a thirst for power

12:08.492 --> 12:11.245
and a desire for control.

12:11.328 --> 12:13.581
- And that became Naga?
- Exactly.

12:13.664 --> 12:15.541
Sounds like a disaster
in the making.

12:15.666 --> 12:18.461
One more thing,
seems the FBI has started

12:18.544 --> 12:20.713
taking their own look
into the commune.

12:20.838 --> 12:24.633
Okay then,
Skinner must be there.

12:24.717 --> 12:28.512
I really hope we can make
our move before they do.

12:34.018 --> 12:35.811
I've been looking all over,

12:35.895 --> 12:39.273
but I haven't found
any traces of Skinner.

12:39.356 --> 12:42.526
Which means it's time
for plan B.

12:42.610 --> 12:43.903
We need to access Naga

12:44.028 --> 12:45.821
and search
for any records related to him.

12:45.905 --> 12:48.157
Okay, then let's wait
for nightfall.

12:48.240 --> 12:49.325
Sounds good.

13:01.754 --> 13:04.089
Don't cut the power
to Naga's main server.

13:04.215 --> 13:05.716
Got it.

13:05.841 --> 13:08.844
A blackout?

13:32.076 --> 13:33.077
I'm in!

13:33.160 --> 13:36.080
This is Naga's memory block.

13:36.205 --> 13:37.915
Sweet!

13:40.459 --> 13:42.753
The almighty Naga

13:42.878 --> 13:46.757
sees through everything
that we humans could think of...

13:46.882 --> 13:48.050
Elaina.

13:53.138 --> 13:55.224
Elaina!

14:01.647 --> 14:03.440
Elaina.

14:03.566 --> 14:05.943
Looks like your heart is
still full of sin.

14:06.026 --> 14:08.112
During tomorrow's
Holy Festival,

14:08.237 --> 14:11.865
the two of you will represent
the sinful filth of this world,

14:11.949 --> 14:16.120
so that the almighty Naga
can purify you.

14:16.245 --> 14:17.371
Bingo.

14:17.454 --> 14:20.332
I got a list
of ex-MIT researchers.

14:20.457 --> 14:21.959
Billy Perez is on it.

14:22.084 --> 14:23.127
Who's he?

14:23.252 --> 14:24.587
The leader of the commune.

14:24.670 --> 14:26.797
Billy had such an obsession
with Naga

14:26.880 --> 14:29.592
that he smuggled the
AI out of MIT,

14:29.675 --> 14:31.051
founded his own cult,

14:31.135 --> 14:34.013
and made it a god for people
to worship.

14:34.138 --> 14:37.808
Then, he shut them off from all
contact with the outside world.

14:37.933 --> 14:41.562
I suspect he's been using
the whole community as a tool

14:41.645 --> 14:43.814
to feed Naga's desire
to dominate.

14:43.939 --> 14:47.067
Sounds like a playground
for a god.

14:47.151 --> 14:49.570
Okay, but, like,
isn't this Naga thing

14:49.653 --> 14:51.989
just a copy of Skinner?

14:52.114 --> 14:53.407
Yeah, more or less.

14:53.490 --> 14:55.826
So then it's not a stretch
to think it'll try

14:55.951 --> 14:59.246
to destroy the world just
like he did, right?

14:59.330 --> 15:00.748
Hmm.

15:03.917 --> 15:08.255
What do they really mean by
"Holy Festival" and "purifying"?

15:08.339 --> 15:11.467
We didn't have the Holy
Festival back when I was around,

15:11.550 --> 15:14.386
but I'm familiar
with purification.

15:14.511 --> 15:17.931
They would take people away
and we never saw them again.

15:18.015 --> 15:20.851
I thought they just got exiled,
but...

15:20.934 --> 15:22.728
Oh, no,
you don't think they--

15:22.853 --> 15:24.855
They're burned.

15:24.938 --> 15:27.858
Those who are tainted have
their bodies purified by fire.

15:27.983 --> 15:31.320
You mean you guys are going to
burn us alive?

15:31.403 --> 15:35.074
Yes. At the Holy Festival, we
will watch you go up in flames.

15:35.199 --> 15:37.076
And then we will all leave
our bodies behind

15:37.201 --> 15:39.536
before this world
is consumed by sin.

15:39.662 --> 15:41.747
All of us.
The entire commune family.

15:41.872 --> 15:44.750
That's insane.

15:45.751 --> 15:49.380
Hanna,
are you really okay with that?

15:49.463 --> 15:51.173
Do you really think
you'll be happy

15:51.256 --> 15:54.885
throwing away your life
because they tell you to?

15:54.968 --> 15:56.679
Elaina...

15:56.762 --> 16:01.141
You know, I've always been
jealous of you.

16:01.225 --> 16:04.186
I've gone my whole life
suppressing my feelings.

16:04.269 --> 16:08.107
I chose to believe in Naga
and follow its instructions.

16:08.232 --> 16:10.567
I shouldn't have any thoughts
of my own.

16:10.651 --> 16:13.070
That's what I told myself.

16:13.153 --> 16:17.199
But you were different.

16:17.282 --> 16:18.742
Why'd you leave?

16:18.867 --> 16:22.579
I hated you for being free
when I wasn't!

16:23.872 --> 16:26.250
It's all I could think about.

16:30.337 --> 16:33.757
Hanna, come with us.

16:33.841 --> 16:35.259
Let's leave together.

16:35.384 --> 16:37.177
You know that's impossible.

16:37.261 --> 16:40.431
This is the only place
I've known my entire life.

16:40.514 --> 16:42.349
How could I survive out there?

16:42.433 --> 16:45.602
I had feelings like yours,
too...

16:45.686 --> 16:47.438
Everyone here acts the same.

16:47.521 --> 16:49.398
They just reject
the outside world,

16:49.481 --> 16:52.443
refusing to think
for themselves.

16:52.568 --> 16:55.195
I was terrified at first, too.

16:55.279 --> 16:59.324
If I can summon up the courage,
then so can you.

16:59.450 --> 17:01.201
Enough already!

17:02.161 --> 17:05.247
I don't think I'm wrong.

17:05.330 --> 17:06.749
Hanna!

17:06.832 --> 17:09.710
There's a smoke bomb
inside my bag.

17:09.793 --> 17:12.463
Listen,
if you have enough courage

17:12.588 --> 17:14.631
to take the leap, then use it.

17:22.848 --> 17:27.853
And now we shall begin
the Holy Festival!

17:29.396 --> 17:30.898
O' almighty Naga,

17:30.981 --> 17:33.734
purify the sins
of these two lost souls

17:33.817 --> 17:35.527
with your Holy Spirit!

17:41.575 --> 17:44.077
And now, start the purification!

18:11.772 --> 18:13.357
It's go time!

18:22.324 --> 18:25.369
- What's happening?
- Naga must be angry with us!

18:25.494 --> 18:27.704
Great Leader Billy?

18:27.830 --> 18:30.541
Everyone,
get in the tower, now!

18:38.549 --> 18:41.134
It's time
to break the great seal!

18:48.267 --> 18:49.893
Come, my dear family.

18:49.977 --> 18:54.481
The time to depart this world
has arrived!

19:02.281 --> 19:04.408
It's the FBI. Let's go!

19:09.538 --> 19:10.873
You two all right?

19:10.956 --> 19:13.125
- You hurt?
- We'll be okay,

19:13.250 --> 19:15.794
but you have to hurry
and save everybody else.

19:15.919 --> 19:17.254
- Huh?
- She's right.

19:17.337 --> 19:20.173
They're all planning
to kill themselves.

19:21.466 --> 19:23.176
Yes, of course!

19:23.260 --> 19:27.097
Our souls are eternal!

19:27.222 --> 19:30.183
Isn't that right,
almighty Naga?

19:33.145 --> 19:34.813
Naga?

19:34.938 --> 19:37.149
Almighty Naga!

19:37.274 --> 19:39.026
Aah!

19:56.251 --> 19:57.836
Hanna.

19:58.962 --> 20:01.381
Thank you, Hanna.

20:15.854 --> 20:20.317
Hey, Naga,
what were you trying to do?

20:20.400 --> 20:23.946
What does killing all
of your followers get you?

20:28.867 --> 20:32.621
<i>I was given the directive
to become a god.</i>

20:32.704 --> 20:37.084
<i>And I came to the realization
that a god is not a god</i>

20:37.167 --> 20:41.421
<i>unless they freely toy
with the lives of humans.</i>

20:41.505 --> 20:42.881
<i>So what do you think?</i>

20:43.006 --> 20:46.843
<i>Does this not qualify me
as a god?</i>

20:46.969 --> 20:49.012
Hell, no.

20:49.137 --> 20:52.891
You're just a machine
with a bunch of loose screws.

21:02.067 --> 21:04.903
<i>The FBI has just confirmed
at a press conference</i>

21:05.028 --> 21:06.697
<i>that they have
finished rescuing</i>

21:06.822 --> 21:08.532
<i>all the believers
from the cult.</i>

21:08.615 --> 21:10.867
<i>This case is garnering
a lot of attention</i>

21:10.951 --> 21:13.203
<i>due to the fact
it was caused by an AI,</i>

21:13.328 --> 21:14.997
<i>which has left many people
wondering</i>

21:15.080 --> 21:17.207
<i>how it might be prosecuted.</i>

21:17.332 --> 21:19.626
<i>And that's the latest
from the scene.</i>

21:19.710 --> 21:22.879
Who would've figured that an AI
programmed with self-esteem

21:23.005 --> 21:27.175
and a desire for control
could cause a mess like this?

21:27.259 --> 21:28.218
How's it look?

21:28.343 --> 21:31.138
This seems to be Naga's
memory bank.

21:31.221 --> 21:34.391
I'll try to salvage
what I can from it.

21:37.978 --> 21:40.981
Mm. Come in.

21:43.608 --> 21:44.985
What's wrong?

21:45.068 --> 21:46.862
Can I sleep in here?

21:46.945 --> 21:48.238
Of course.

21:59.833 --> 22:01.251
Mm.
