00:0650 years, half a century, and I'm still fucking
00:26You sure?
00:30My mother's last words, you remember?
00:32The cryo chamber has something I left for you, that was 20 years ago
00:38Gia, there's nothing left in this world worth staying for
00:42Hey
00:45Every Sunday, five years now
00:48This one's called True Heart, anniversary gala, wear it for me
01:01I know, half hour, brand launch, problem, I gotta go, wait up for me?
01:06Go
01:16I'm ready, seven days
01:18You're certain?
01:20My mother didn't die for nothing, I'm finishing it
01:25Some people die twice, once when their heart stops beating, once when they are forgotten by the world
01:32Neither will I
01:38Your mother designed the neural lock herself
01:41It's fused to your cerebral cortex
01:42Biomedic, any surgical removal triggers immediate tissue neprosis
01:46The data dies with you
01:49She thought of everything
01:51She thought of you
01:58Mrs. Walsh, according to Altum's cryo memory project protocol
02:02Once you enter the cryo chamber, your legal identity will be revoked
02:05That means?
02:06I know
02:07Vera Walsh ceases to exist today
02:10The experiment is irreversible
02:12Any external manipulation triggers reversible neuron damage
02:15Are you certain?
02:19I'm certain
02:29Mrs. Walsh, investigative reporter, LA Times
02:33We have a tip that Altum's cryo project has serious violations
02:38Willing to comment?
02:39Six days from now
02:42I'll give you an answer the whole world wants to know
03:16Your mother said truth, wait
03:18One day it'll crush every lie
03:21Oh, I'm coming
03:25It's stunning!
03:27Mr. Hale personally set all 121,314 diamonds
03:34He said it represents
03:36A lifetime
03:38You're so lucky, Vera
03:43The train drags, adjust it
03:46Needs to be perfect on our anniversary
03:52My boyfriend is very private
03:55But he treats me so well
04:01That necklace, Nathan gave you the exact same one
04:22My boyfriend loves me more than Mr. Hale loves his wife
04:25Sorry, he just texted
04:26He added a zero
04:29131,400 fireworks now!
04:31How dare she!
04:35How dare she!
04:35I'm squeezing too tight, boy
04:37You're losing me

05:37What are we doing?
05:39Follow that car.
05:40What?
05:41Follow it.
05:46He really loves me.
05:48So what?
05:48Marriage never escapes the rule.
05:51How could he?
05:51He loves you so much.
05:53Man gets rich, man strays.
05:55Life gets boring.
05:56Even if his heart doesn't change, his body will.
05:58Vera, compromise is always a woman's fate.
06:01I don't compromise.
06:03Once unfaithful, never again.
06:09He made his bed.
06:11Now he can rotten it.
06:22Mom, you told me not to believe in love.
06:25I did.
06:26Now I'm awake.
06:33Almost.
06:35Thank you, baby.
06:37Not hard.
06:38This is the last time.
06:41What?
06:42I mean, this is the last time I cook for you.
06:45From now on, every anniversary, let's celebrate a day earlier.
06:48Deal?
06:49Deal.
06:49You scared me.
06:53An early toast.
06:56Happy anniversary.
06:59Happy anniversary.
07:09You spoil me.
07:11That's the point.
07:17Nathan.
07:18Yeah?
07:18If one day you find out I did something very cruel, would you hate me?
07:25What kind of thing?
07:26Nothing.
07:27Just asking.
07:34I know.
07:35What did the doctor say?
07:36Don't cry.
07:37I'm on my way.
07:41Company emergency.
07:42Go.
07:47Wait for me.
07:48I'll be right back.
07:50I'll be right back.
07:51Eat more.
07:53You've lost weight.
08:01You're never going to see my face again.
08:05Ever.
08:15I'm ready.
08:17I'm ready.
08:25You're really not going to reconsider?
08:28I considered three years of marriage.
08:31Now I'm only considering my mother.
08:47Vera?
08:53philosopher.
09:11Impossible.
09:14Oh, my God.
09:55What have you done?
10:15Nathan, by the time you read this letter, I will be legally dead. Don't look for me. You won't find
10:20me. I'm doing what my mother couldn't. I don't hate you. I just don't care anymore.
10:38March 12th, 2021. Today, I joined Outem. Mom's nameplate is still on her desk. I don't know what she discovered,
10:45but I'm going to find out, for the truth.
10:49June 1st, 2021. Nathan proposed again. Mom doesn't believe in love, but I choose to.
10:55For you.
11:04I found out Mom didn't commit suicide. She discovered the truth about Project Phoenix. L-Tem killed her. I must
11:11find the evidence.
11:23Today, I signed the Memory Cryo-Preservation Agreement. Mom encoded everything into my neurons. The only way to release it
11:30is through the neural lock during cryosleep. I'm going in, to finish what Mom started.
11:34Nathan, if you're reading this, I don't hate you. I thank you. You taught me one thing. The only thing
11:40in this world that will never betray me is the truth. Goodbye.
11:46You said you don't hate me. That's worse. Hate would mean you still care.
12:04My assistant, I need everything on Altum's experiment 10117 and find out where Vera Walsh Cryo-Chamber is located.
12:17Eat more. You've lost weight.
12:20You spoil me.
12:22That's the point.
12:24Three years. Best years of my life.
12:29More lobster?
12:31Yeah, thanks, baby.
12:41You said this is the last time I cook for you.
12:44I thought you were being dramatic.
12:53You're never going to see my face again.
12:56Ever.
12:58You meant forever.
13:00Forever.
13:27You're not going to die.
13:31You're not going to die.
13:32I was so scared.
13:33Why you?
13:34The doctor said my wife was in a car accident.
13:37I was in an accident too.
13:39I was scared.
13:40They asked for my emergency contact.
13:43I gave them your number.
13:44Your emergency contact?
13:46You're what, my wife?
13:48I'm pregnant with your child.
13:51Twins, boy and girl.
13:57Don't go, please.
13:59Please, you said you'd take care of me and the baby forever.
14:08Luna, I told you from day one, we were using each other, body only.
14:15I love Vera, only Vera.
14:20You ever contact her again?
14:23I'll bury you, not metaphorically.
14:40Jah, where is Vera?
14:42You saw her death certificate, didn't you?
14:44That's not real.
14:45She's lying to punish me.
14:46Punish you?
14:47For what, Nathan Hale?
14:48For being in another woman's bed when she needed you most?
14:50For spending your mother-in-law's funeral with your mistress?
14:53For walking out on her last dinner to go to the woman who threatened you with a pregnancy?
15:05You don't deserve to know where she is.
15:07You don't deserve to know where she is.
15:17Sir, the Hale Dynamics CEO is making inquiries about the Phoenix Project.
15:22And he's asking about Experiment 1017.
15:31Phase 2.
15:32Let's roll.
15:40I'll walk.
15:47Vera Walsh.
15:48I worked with your mother.
15:51She asked me to watch over you.
15:53One more thing.
15:54The neural lock.
15:56Your people won't try to extract it early?
15:57Your mother designed it to be biomedically fused into your cerebral cortex.
16:02Any tampering triggers immediate tissue necrosis.
16:06The data dies with you.
16:07We told Dr. Kata that 40 years ago.
16:09He's tested it twice.
16:11Lost two patients.
16:12He won't try again.
16:14Good.
16:35Your mother said, truth has weight.
16:39One day, it'll crush every lie.
16:41I know, Mom.
16:42I'm waiting for that day.
16:50Truth has weight, Vera.
16:53I know, Mom.
16:54I kept my promise.
17:03Neural lock activated.
17:05Memory upload begin.
17:07Phoenix Project enters Phase 3.
17:11Once all data is extracted, her body won't be needed anymore.
17:16What about the Hale CEO?
17:17He's still digging.
17:18He has leads on Experiment 1017.
17:20He just hired a forensic accountant.
17:23Let him dig.
17:24By the time he finds the truth, there's no Vera Walsh left on this earth.
17:28What about the Hale father?
17:28Ientiaобfac.
17:30Thank you, Bri.
17:35Honestly.
17:35Hi everyone.
17:39Recently, there have been rumors about my pregnancy.
17:44I wanna tell you..
17:46They're true.
17:48And there's one more thing.
17:50The father is Nathan Hale, CEO of Hale Dynamics.
17:54He's trying to force me to terminate the pregnancy.
17:56He threatened to destroy me if I didn't cooperate.
17:58I didn't want to do this, but I'm a mother.
18:00I have to protect my child.
18:02Nathan, if you're watching, do you really want to push us over the edge?
18:14PR Director.
18:16Release everything we have on Luna Chin.
18:18Everything.
18:19I want it done in six hours.
18:21Sir, that will destroy her.
18:24You wanted a show?
18:25Fine.
18:26Let's fucking burn it down.
18:31For a celebrity's and we seem to end the rager.
18:33Sources close to the investigation have revealed that...
18:38...to take out the late-based location.
19:02You saw what happened?
19:04Yeah.
19:05Six hours.
19:06You destroyed her entire life.
19:08She tried to destroy Vera first.
19:11This doesn't change anything.
19:12Vera isn't coming back.
19:14I know.
19:15Then why do it?
19:20I want Vera to know I can burn everything for her.
19:23Including yourself?
19:24Including myself.
19:37Dr. Kanin.
19:38We need to talk.
19:45Mr. Hale.
19:46I didn't expect you to call.
19:53What can I do for you?
19:57I want to make a deal.
19:58A deal?
20:00Go on.
20:00I donate 30% of my personal assets to Altum.
20:04Roughly $800 million.
20:06In exchange, you guarantee Vera's cryo chamber is absolutely secure.
20:11After I die, my estate executive continues oversight.
20:14That sounds like a money-losing proposition for you.
20:17What's your real condition?
20:19You don't touch Vera's brain data.
20:21No extraction.
20:23No copying.
20:25No use of any kind.
20:28Mr. Hale, your wife's brain contains core patents belonging to Altum.
20:33Her mother developed them while employed here.
20:34The intellectual...
20:35Those patents belong to Vera's mother.
20:37I don't care about your dispute with a dead woman.
20:40But Vera's brain is my wife's brain.
20:42You don't touch it.
20:44And if I say no...
20:59Where did you get this?
21:00You don't need to know.
21:02This is Dead Man's Switch.
21:03Connected to my biomedics.
21:04If I don't check in every month,
21:05or if anything happens to Vera,
21:06this goes to the New York Times,
21:08the Wall Street Journal,
21:08the FBI,
21:09and the International Criminal Court.
21:10Every page of Dr. Wee's notes.
21:12Every name.
21:13Every corpse.
21:16You're bluffing.
21:18Try me.
21:28Deal.
21:30One more thing.
21:31I want direct monitoring access to Vera's cryo chamber.
21:34Any operation requires my approval.
21:36You don't trust me.
21:38You're not trustworthy.
21:40Same time next week.
21:42Don't be late.
21:56Nathan,
21:57you finally came home.
22:00What are you doing here?
22:02I miss you.
22:03You haven't answered my calls.
22:06I had to come.
22:08Get out.
22:09Nathan,
22:10I'm carrying your baby.
22:13What are you doing?
22:16Did you send Vera messages?
22:18Did you tell her you were pregnant with my child?
22:21I just love you too much.
22:25You wanted my heart too bad.
22:28It froze with her.
22:41What are you doing?
22:45Take this.
22:46Get out of my life.
22:47Forever.
22:48I don't want money.
22:50I want you.
22:52You never had me.
22:54You were a mistake.
22:55A mistake I regret but can't undo.
23:09This mistake.
23:11I'll spend my whole life trying to make up for.
23:13But Vera,
23:14you will never know.
23:15You'll never know what kind of man I really am.
23:18You just need to know one thing.
23:20I'll wait for you.
23:21Fifty years.
23:22A hundred years.
23:23Until I die.
23:28Sir,
23:29about the neural lock.
23:30Start reverse engineering the protocol.
23:32Quietly.
23:33The biometric fusion.
23:34I said quietly.
23:36Find me a back door.
23:38He won't live forever.
23:53Miss, your discharge papers are ready.
23:59Did anyone call for me?
24:01No.
24:09Mrs. Luna.
24:12I'm the attorney Mr. Hale sent.
24:17He sent you?
24:19He wants to see me?
24:21He asked me to deliver a document.
24:36He's relinquishing parental rights.
24:38Mr. Hale has established a trust fund for the child,
24:41enough for any university in the world.
24:42But he will have no contact,
24:44no visitation,
24:46no acknowledgement of paternity
24:47in any public or private capacity.
24:49He can't do this.
24:50He's the father.
24:51He can, and he has.
24:51The document is legally binding.
24:53If you choose to keep the child,
24:55the trust fund will be available
24:56when the child turns 18.
24:57If you choose otherwise,
24:58that is your decision.
24:59There's one more thing.
25:01Mr. Hale asked me to tell you personally,
25:02if you ever contact Vera Walsh
25:04or anyone associated with her again,
25:05the trust fund disappears.
25:06And so will any chance of you
25:07remaining in the country.
25:12He really hates me.
25:16I don't think he hates you, Mrs. Chen.
25:19I think he's indifferent.
25:20That's worse.
25:32Sir, Mrs. Chen's lawyer has filed the relinquishment.
25:35It's done.
25:36Good.
25:38And Mrs. Chen has checked out of the hospital.
25:41No one knows where she went.
25:45Not my problem.
25:47See to it.
25:57Vera, I'm the one who should have died.
26:00Not you.
26:01Not her.
26:02Me.
26:06Luna's talent agency has filed for bankruptcy,
26:09marking a dramatic fall from grace
26:11for the once prominent star.
26:13I have any angst.
26:13Want to decide that's what?
26:15Stebi is found.
26:16Luna evicted from apartment.
26:18We put make accounts frozen.
26:37Sir, Ms. Chen's lawyer is here.
26:40Send her in.
26:46Mr. Hale, my client is in a difficult position.
26:51She's asking if you would consider,
26:54out of past regard,
26:56helping her with...
26:58How much?
27:01Legal fees and medical expenses?
27:03Approximately $500,000.
27:10This is...
27:11Enough?
27:16Yes.
27:17Then take it.
27:18This is the last time I help her.
27:20She leaves the country.
27:22I don't want to see her face again.
27:24Ever.
27:33Mr. Hale?
27:34My client asked me to tell you one more thing.
27:38Vera was right.
27:40You don't love anyone.
27:41You only love yourself.
27:57But I loved her.
28:00And that's one more person than you ever did.
28:03Maybe.
28:11Mr. Hale?
28:12I have an update on your wife's NeuroLock status.
28:17Tell me.
28:18Her brain activity has increased by approximately 15%
28:20since initial cryo-imperation.
28:22Within normal parameters, but notable.
28:25What does that mean?
28:26It suggests her consciousness may be active on some level.
28:29Not perceiving the outside world,
28:30but possibly dreaming.
28:31Or remembering.
28:33Is she in pain?
28:34No.
28:35The NeuroLock is designed to be painless.
28:37The increased activity is more like a computer
28:38running a program in the background.
28:43Can she hear me?
28:46There's no evidence of external auditory processing,
28:49but some families choose to speak to them anyway.
28:59Vera,
29:00I don't know if you can hear me.
29:03Probably not.
29:05But I'm going to keep talking to you anyway.
29:09I made a deal with Kane.
29:12800 million.
29:13Your chamber is safe.
29:14He won't touch your data.
29:20I wish I'd done something useful before you left.
29:23Instead of just being a coward.
29:25I'll come every week.
29:26I'll tell you what's happening.
29:28The world keeps spinning.
29:29But I'm stuck here.
29:31Right here.
29:32Waiting.
29:33I love you.
29:34I know you don't believe that anymore,
29:36but I do.
29:39I do.
29:39I do.
29:41I do.
29:57Neural lock stability.
30:01100%.
30:04Good.
30:07I love you.
30:59Mr. Hal, this is unauthorized.
31:03I got an alert.
31:05Someone tried to bypass the neural lock.
31:08Routine diagnostic?
31:10You promised.
31:12No extraction.
31:13No tampering.
31:15This is your only warning.
31:17Next time that dead man switch goes live.
31:2720 years, Vera.
31:28You look the same.
31:30I look like your father now.
31:33It's pathetic.
31:35But I don't care.
31:51Vera, 40 years.
31:55I'm 82 now.
31:57You're still 25.
32:00When you wake up, you won't even recognize me.
32:05I won't be here.
32:06But I'll have left everything for you.
32:10The evidence.
32:11The files.
32:12Everything Kayan tried to hide.
32:14It's all in a safe deposit box.
32:15The key is with my lawyer.
32:19I hope you finish what your mother started.
32:25I'll try to make it to 50 years.
32:28For you.
32:31Vera.
32:33Mr. Hale.
32:34Visiting hours are almost outered.
32:36Five more minutes.
32:38You said that an hour ago.
32:43Fifty years, Vera, I kept my promise.
32:51I'm tired now.
32:53I think I've waited long enough.
32:56White sanctuary just for me and you.
33:03The electric piano whispers, too.
33:10Vera.
33:17Still pretty.
33:18Still pretty.
33:23This is the last one.
33:25I can't come anymore after today.
33:27You once said,
33:28the only thing that will never betray me is the truth.
33:32I hope you're right.
33:35Because the truth is,
33:37I loved you.
33:40Even when I didn't deserve to.
33:42Even when I destroyed everything.
33:51Goodbye, Vera.
33:55I hope you wake up.
33:58I hope you win.
34:15Same table, Mr. Hale?
34:21Same table.
34:23Same table.
34:23Same table.
34:23Same table.
34:31When you read this letter, I'll be gone.
34:33I don't know if you woke up.
34:35I don't know what the world looks like.
34:37But I know one thing.
34:38You'll come to this coffee shop.
34:40Because you promised we'd celebrate every anniversary one day early.
34:44You always kept your promises.
34:46I'm sorry I broke mine.
34:49But I kept another one.
34:51The USB drive has 50 years of evidence.
34:55Financials, internal emails, lab records.
34:58Every page has Kalen's signature.
35:00It's yours now.
35:01I don't expect forgiveness.
35:03I just want you to know,
35:05these 50 years,
35:06not one day passed that I didn't regret hurting you.
35:09Regret meeting Luna.
35:11Regret walking out that last night.
35:13But I never regretted loving you.
35:15Not once.
35:21Can I get you anything else, Mr. Hale?
35:24No.
35:25Just...
35:25If a woman ever comes in here,
35:28looking at that photo,
35:29tell her something for me.
35:30What should I tell her?
35:31The coffee is cold,
35:33but my heart is still warm.
35:38And give her this.
35:46Vera,
35:49I still see you.
35:56I'll wait for you on the other side.
36:11On the house.
36:21What's your name?
36:23After all these years,
36:25I never ask.
36:27Margaret.
36:30Margaret.
36:32I'm Nathan.
36:35I know who you are.
36:37Everyone in this neighborhood knows.
36:39The man who waits.
36:43She's not coming today.
36:45She's not coming while I'm alive.
36:48I made sure of that.
36:50She's frozen.
36:51Fifty years now.
36:54That's a long time to wait.
36:56Do you think she'll forgive me?
36:59If she wakes up?
37:02I think she'll understand.
37:04Forgiveness is different.
37:10We were so happy in that picture.
37:12It wasn't fake.
37:13The happiness, I mean.
37:15The rest.
37:17That was me.
37:19I used to bring her fresh ones every Sunday.
37:23For five years.
37:25Then I stopped.
37:26I've been bringing them to her chamber instead.
37:29Every week for 50 years.
37:36I'm tired, Margaret.
37:42It's all right.
37:44Vera.
37:57Go to her, Nathan.
38:19Welcome back.
38:21You've been in cryostasis for exactly 50 years.
38:24Today is December 12, 2074.
38:28Fifty years?
38:29Yes, ma'am.
38:30Your neural lock was deactivated 48 hours ago as scheduled.
38:33Your body has been fully restored.
38:35All vital signs are normal.
38:39It's impossible.
38:44Mr. Howell.
38:46He came every week for 50 years.
38:57There's someone waiting to see you.
38:58A woman.
38:59She says she was sent by her grandmother.
39:02Who?
39:03Jenna Lee.
39:07Send her in.
39:13I'm Jenna Lee.
39:15Ja Lee was my grandmother.
39:21She died 15 years ago.
39:23She asked me to tell you something.
39:25The cryo chamber is not the end.
39:28The truth is,
39:30where is she buried?
39:32Next to your mother.
39:33She bought the plot 30 years ago.
39:37She said I'll wait for Vera there.
39:42Then let's not keep her waiting.
39:44Show me everything.
39:46Start with Nathan.
39:55He's dead.
39:57Last year, he was 85.
39:59Take me there.
40:13You have a lot of questions.
40:16I have one question.
40:18Why did you wait for me?
40:20You never met me.
40:20I'm a stranger to you.
40:22My grandmother talked about you every day of her life.
40:24When I was a little girl, I was jealous.
40:25I thought she loved you more than me.
40:27When I got older, I understood.
40:28She wasn't just waiting for a friend.
40:30She was waiting for justice.
40:31Altum destroyed your mother.
40:34They threatened my grandmother for decades.
40:36They thought she would stop investigating after they fired her.
40:39She didn't.
40:40She collected evidence for 35 years.
40:43And then she gave it all to me.
40:45You were a child.
40:46I was 20 when she died.
40:49Old enough to carry on.
40:51Old enough to wait for you.
40:56You never met me.
40:57Why?
40:58My grandmother used to read me your mother's research papers like bedtime stools.
41:03I didn't understand a word.
41:04But I understood she was waiting for someone.
41:07She'd point at your frozen photo and say,
41:09That's Vera.
41:10She's asleep.
41:11When she wakes up, the world gets better.
41:14I used to be jealous of you.
41:16A ghost who took all her love.
41:20Now I get it.
41:21You weren't taking.
41:22You were giving her a reason.
41:29Some things didn't change.
41:31That coffee shop, for example.
41:33Same owner.
41:34Same corner.
41:35Same photograph in the window.
41:45Nathan.
41:46Did he suffer?
41:48No.
41:49The waitress said he just fell asleep.
41:51In the corner booth, looking at that picture.
41:5550 years.
41:56He waited 50 years.
42:08It's you.
42:13You know who I am.
42:15He showed me your picture.
42:17A thousand times.
42:20I'm Margaret.
42:21I own this place.
42:24That's where he sat?
42:26Every day.
42:27For 50 years.
42:29Same booth.
42:30Same order.
42:32Black coffee.
42:32No sugar.
42:33Extra shot.
42:34He said that was your favorite.
42:37He left something for you.
42:39Told me,
42:39If she ever comes,
42:41give her this.
42:42He wrote you a letter.
42:44And there's a USB drive.
42:46He said it contains everything.
42:48Every crime.
42:49Every name.
42:5150 years of evidence.
42:54What was his last word?
42:57Your name.
42:59He said Vera.
43:01Just that.
43:02Once.
43:02Then he was gone.
43:13I don't know.
43:22One more thing.
43:23Could I have a cup of coffee?
43:24Black.
43:25No sugar.
43:26Extra shot.
43:36It's cold.
43:37He always let it get cold.
43:39He said,
43:40It reminds me of her.
43:43I'll be back.
43:44Every anniversary.
43:46The day before.
44:01Do you want me to leave?
44:05Stay.
44:06Stay.
44:16Weira.
44:17By the time you read this letter,
44:19I'll be gone.
44:20I don't know you've woken up,
44:22but I know you'll come to this cafe.
44:24You always keep your promises.
44:26I'm sorry I didn't.
44:28Everything is on the USB drive.
44:31For your mother.
44:32For yourself.
44:34Bring them down.
44:35I don't expect forgiveness.
44:38I never regretted loving you.
44:41Goodbye, Vera.
44:43Loving you?
44:46I never regretted it.
44:48I never regretted it.
44:48Not one damn time.
44:58He never said he was sorry.
45:01Not once.
45:02Not in 50 years of letters.
45:04He said it in the ring.
45:05That's not an apology.
45:07That's an acknowledgement.
45:09An apology requires changed.
45:12He changed.
45:12But it was too late.
45:14This is what matters.
45:17Not his guilt.
45:19Not his waiting.
45:20This.
45:20Get your lawyer on the phone.
45:21We're filing against Altum.
45:23Against Kane.
45:24Against every single person
45:25who knew what they were doing
45:26and said nothing.
45:27She's in the head, Em.
45:28I'll patch her through.
45:35Yes, hello.
45:36This is Jenna Lee.
45:37I have Vera Walsh here.
45:38She's ready.
45:43She's ready.
45:52This court is now in session
45:53for the case of
45:54the International Criminal Court
45:56versus Dr. Alastair Kane
45:57and the Altum Corporation.
46:04You.
46:08I am.
46:13Dr. Vera Walsh,
46:14you are the daughter of Dr. Wee,
46:16former chief scientist
46:17at Altum Biotech?
46:18I am.
46:19And you are also
46:20a former Altum employee
46:21as well as the subject
46:22of a 50-year cryostations experiment
46:24under Altum's Phoenix Project?
46:26Yes.
46:26Dr. Walsh,
46:27what did your mother discover
46:28before her death?
46:31My mother discovered
46:32that Altum's Phoenix Project
46:33was not a medical research initiative.
46:35It was a military contract
46:36to illegally harvest
46:37the brain data
46:37of dying patients
46:38without their informed consent
46:39for use in consciousness
46:40upload experiments.
46:43Silence!
46:44And what evidence
46:44do you have of this?
46:46My mother encoded
46:46all of her evidence
46:47into my neurons
46:48before she died.
46:49She designed a neural lock
46:50that would only release
46:51the data after 50 years
46:52of crimostasis.
46:53She knew that by then
46:54the technology would exist
46:55to verify every frame
46:56of her memories.
46:57Your Honor,
46:58the prosecution requests
46:59permission to present
47:00the witnesses' neural memory data
47:02as evidence.
47:02Objection!
47:03Human memory is failable.
47:05Subject to bias,
47:06distortion,
47:07and false recall,
47:07this is not admissible evidence.
47:09Dr. Walsh,
47:10how do you respond?
47:12Human memory is failable,
47:14but my memories
47:15have been quantum-backed
47:16and time-stineded.
47:17Every frame
47:18can be independently verified.
47:20And more importantly,
47:22my memories
47:23do not require your belief.
47:25They only require
47:26to be seen.
47:28Overruled.
47:29The evidence
47:30will be admitted.
47:33We will now play
47:34a segment
47:34of Dr. Walsh's memory
47:36recorded from her neural lock
47:37from December 3, 1994.
47:43Sign it, Wei.
47:44Sign the NDA
47:45and you and your daughter
47:46stay safe.
47:49You're killing people.
47:50We're collecting data.
47:51The patients were dying anyway.
47:52They didn't consent!
47:53Their families did.
47:54The families didn't know
47:55what you were actually doing.
47:56You told them
47:56it was medical research.
47:57It's military.
47:58It's consciousness uploading.
47:58Sign the paper
47:59or your daughter
48:00has an accident tomorrow.
48:08You'll go to hell for this.
48:11Maybe.
48:13But so will you.
48:20Order!
48:21Order in the court!
48:26Mom.
48:27I told you.
48:29I kept my promise.
48:34Your Honor,
48:34the prosecution requests
48:36immediate forensic verification.
48:37The quantum signature
48:38of each memory frame
48:39can be matched
48:39to Dr. Walsh's
48:40unique neural pattern.
48:41Tines packed
48:42to the date of encoding,
48:43December 10, 2024.
48:44Proceed.
48:46Running quantum signature
48:47authentication.
48:48Please stand by.
48:49Identification complete.
48:50Neural imprint matches
48:51witnesses' baseline
48:52from 2024.
48:54Temporal markers
48:54confirm encoding date,
48:55December 10, 2024.
48:57No evidence of tampering
48:58or posthay alteration.
49:01Cross-examination
49:02may proceed.
49:04Dr. Walsh,
49:06you claim these memories
49:07are accurate,
49:08yet you were under
49:09extreme emotional distress
49:10at the time of encoding.
49:11Your husband had just left you
49:13for another woman, correct?
49:14My emotional state
49:15does not affect
49:16the quantum integrity
49:17of the memories.
49:18It affects your perception.
49:20People remember things
49:21differently than they happened.
49:22They add details,
49:24they subtract details.
49:25Then let's verify the details.
49:27My memory includes
49:28Dr. Kane's face,
49:29voice, and fingerprints.
49:30I request an on-the-record
49:32comparison with the defendant.
49:34This is irregular.
49:35Is the witness's request
49:36procedurally sound?
49:37Under Article 69
49:39of the Rome Statitude,
49:40the court may order
49:41biometric verification
49:42of evidence
49:43when authenticity
49:43is challenged.
49:44Objection overruled.
49:46The court will order
49:47fingerprint and voice comparison.
49:54This is really necessary.
50:00Order!
50:05Your Honor,
50:06may I request a recess?
50:09Denied.
50:09The prosecution may continue.
50:11Dr. Walsh,
50:13why did you agree
50:14to a 50-year cryostasis?
50:16Because the truth
50:16my mother died for
50:17would have been buried
50:18with her if I didn't carry it.
50:20She encoded it into me,
50:22not as a curse,
50:23but as a promise.
50:25A promise that one day
50:27the truth would have a voice.
50:31Today that voice is speaking.
50:33You thought you buried
50:34the truth.
50:36But you forgot.
50:38Truth doesn't rot.
50:41Does the defense
50:43wish to call any witnesses?
50:45The defense rests,
50:46Your Honor.
50:47Closing arguments
50:48will be heard tomorrow
50:49at 900 hours.
50:53The defendant
50:54is remanded to custody.
50:58It's here.
51:01Mother.
51:11In the case of
51:12the International Criminal Court
51:13Dot vs. Dr. Alistair Kane
51:15and the Altsin Corporation,
51:17the court has reached
51:18its verdict.

51:45with all assets
51:46forbidden to a victim's
51:47compensation fund.
51:49Dr. Alistair Kena,
51:51you are sentenced
51:52to life imprisonment
51:53without the possibility
51:54of parole.
51:55You will be remanded
51:57to the International
51:57Criminal Court's
51:58detention facility
51:59in the Ham,
52:00where you will remain
52:01until your death.
52:10You did it.
52:11Your mother,
52:13she did it.
52:19We did it.
52:20You,
52:21your grandmother,
52:22Nathan,
52:23all of us.
52:24Dr. Walsh,
52:25the court will want
52:26a statement from you,
52:27but take your time.
52:29There's one more thing
52:30I need to do first.
52:32Take me to the cemetery.
52:34Dr. Walsh,
52:35how do you feel?
52:36Will you be seeking
52:36further damages?
52:37What's next for you?
52:41I spent 50 years frozen
52:42so that the truth
52:43could be heard.
52:45Today,
52:45it was.
52:47Now I'm going to visit
52:47the people who made it possible,
52:49the ones who didn't live
52:50to see this day.
53:03Nathan,
53:04it was enough.
53:06Was it Nathan?
53:09I read your letter.
53:11I have the USB.
53:13You kept your word.
53:1550 years.
53:17You gave me everything
53:18I needed to finish
53:19what my mother started.
53:20This belonged to Luna.
53:22You gave it to her first.
53:25Then you gave me
53:26the same one.
53:27Do you remember?
53:29I remember.
53:31I remember everything.
53:33I don't keep it.
53:35Not because I'm angry anymore.
53:38Because it doesn't belong to us.
53:41It belongs to a lie.
53:43And I'm done with lies.
53:45I don't hate you, Nathan.
53:47I never did.
53:48Even at the end.
53:52I don't hate you.
53:53That'd be too much work.
53:54I just
53:56stopped giving a damn.
53:59I hope you found peace
54:00wherever you are.
54:02I hope the next time we meet,
54:04if there is a next time,
54:07you're the man I thought you were.
54:10And I'm the woman
54:11who gets to love him
54:12without reservation.
54:15Goodbye, Nate.
54:23Gia.
54:25You waited 35 years for me.
54:29You raised a granddaughter
54:30to carry on.
54:31I'm sorry I wasn't there
54:32when you died.
54:33She knew you'd come.
54:35She told me.
54:37Vera will wake up.
54:38And when she does,
54:39she'll finish what we started.
54:40She was right.
54:43You have her eyes.
54:46And her stubbornness.
54:51Thank you, Gia.
54:52For everything.
54:54There's one more grave.
54:57Who?
54:59Your mother.
55:01We're standing right next to it.
55:11Hi, Mom.
55:12I did it.
55:15I kept my promise.
55:24My grandmother left something for you.
55:26She made me promise
55:28to give it to you
55:28after you won.
55:30She said
55:32white daisies mean
55:34hidden love.
55:35She said your mother
55:36hid her love in the truth.
55:38Nathan hid his in waiting.
55:40And she hid hers
55:41in this necklace.
55:43Put it on me?
55:47Thank you, Gia.
55:49I'll wear it always.
55:51You called your grandmother fierce.
55:55You're fierce, too.
55:57I learned from the best.
56:00There's one more thing
56:01I need to do
56:02before I leave San Francisco.
56:03Coffee shop?
56:05Coffee shop.
56:12You came back.
56:14I said I would.
56:15Every anniversary.
56:17The day before.
56:27This one's hot.
56:31I'm here.
56:34You are.
56:43You know,
56:44after he died,
56:44I thought about closing the shop.
56:46Seemed too sad
56:47to keep it open.
56:48But then I thought,
56:49if she ever comes,
56:50she'll need a place to sit.
56:55Do you think he's at peace?
56:58I think he found peace in waiting.
57:00Some people are built that way.
57:02They need something to wait for.
57:05You were his something.
57:08I was his wife.
57:10Then I was his life.
57:12Then I was his ghost.
57:15That's not a life.
57:16That's a sentence.
57:18He chose it.
57:21He did.
57:23I'll come here every year.
57:25December 11th.
57:26I'll sit in this booth.
57:28I'll drink this coffee.
57:30And I'll remember.
57:31That's all any of us can do.
57:36Can I get you anything else?
57:39No.
57:40I should go.
57:43For the coffee.
57:45On the house.
57:46Always.
57:50What will happen to that picture
57:53after...
57:54It stays.
57:55As long as this shop stands.
58:01Truth's a bitch.
58:04It'll flatten every lie you ever told.
58:08But sometimes...
58:09It's the only thing that gets you out the door.
58:12Fifty years ago,
58:14I walked out of this city
58:15thinking I had nothing left to lose.
58:18I was wrong.
58:20I had my mother's truth.
58:22I had Ja's friendship.
58:24I even had Nathan's love,
58:26broken as it was.
58:28I don't know what comes next.
58:31Maybe I'll stay in this city.
58:33Maybe I'll go back to Europe.
58:34Maybe I'll finally finish my mother's research.
58:37The real research.
58:38The one that helps people
58:40instead of exploiting them.
58:41But I know one thing.
58:44I'm not running anymore.
58:47I'm not hiding.
58:48I'm not waiting.
58:51Nathan waited 50 years for me.
58:54I can't give him back that time.
58:56I can't forgive him.
58:59But I can remember him.
59:02He waited 50 years.
59:06I walked in 50 seconds.
59:10That's the difference between love
59:12and getting on with your life.
59:27I can't give her a lie.
59:28I can't give him up in 100 years.
59:30So long back to her own dancing,
59:30but that's how it all came back.
59:31I can't.
59:32Don't look good.
