Forbidden Science (2009) s01e11 Episode Script

Erase

Previously on Forbidden Science I was grown in a test tube.
Let's face it, I'm a clone, with the memories of a dead woman.
What's this life memory chip? It takes a photocopy of your brain.
Every thought, every memory you ever had.
Any parents? No.
Just me.
-Really? What about -I said no.
Look, I'm not like you, alright? I don't have the parents, and the countless brothers and sisters.
Tommorow loved ones will return as clones.
Memories will be downloaded and sold.
Androids will walk among us.
Tommorow is now.
Theater Jomblo presents Revisi: siGanteng Forbidden Science Season 1 Episode 11 Erase My company, my money, my idea.
-I had enough of you.
-Don't you touch me! I love you.
Why so serious? You put our rep in the red with this.
-What if it doesn't work? - It will.
Eventually.
That's comforting.
Have a little faith, darling.
Have I ever let you down? This is different, Step.
This isn't just recording moments, like birthdays, weedings.
We're talking about downloading it and copying someones entire live time of thoughts and memories.
It's I don't know, it's invasive.
How is it invasive? It's a second chance.
Michael What if you die? A clone will only look like you, it's our thoughts and feelings that make us alive.
-This chip -Ok, promise If I die, you won't just zap my memory to some carboncopy clone.
Of course not.
I'll just find myself some fresh, young You were saying? I lost my train of thought.
I love you.
Michael! -Who's Michael? Your new boyfriend? -Huh?! Oh.
No no.
Jesus, Julia, I think it work.
You did it! Simulation show 100 percent match copy to the original.
And the extraction is 100 percent across the board! Looks like we might have something here.
This is why you should stay at my place more often.
Go back to sleep.
Philip, it's 2.
30.
You really got to get a life, man.
Jesus, are you looking to get fired? I was thinking a raise.
A big, big raise.
Maybe a trip to Hawaii? -What are you talking about? -We did it.
Are you sure? Not sure we can without we doing the proper trials, but the simulations show a complete download all of the memory.
Oh, can I? By all means.
Consider it your raise.
I see your days starting earlier and earlier at 4Ever.
I did it.
Or we did it.
Actually, Julia was figure it out, I duplicate the process.
I assume you know what he's talking about.
You're able to do a complete memory download.
Yep.
Well, the computer simulations maybe finished, but wheter or not success on a human or a clone remains to be seen.
The chip is design to work only in Julia's brain.
They have to work on anyone else has been a challenge, at least.
It'll work.
-Or should.
-I'm very confident that'll work.
-You'll start to look for a test subject? -Immediately.
Someone in their 80s.
Or 90s, you know? Someone with long live, so we can really test the download parameters.
Of course.
Great job, Philip, for the both of you.
Is it really necessary to have your apartement at the company? -Serious as my guest.
-Great.
Come to bed? Yeah.
In a minute.
Memory Download Memory Extraction Please, don't tell me you've been here all night.
You look terrible.
-Thanks.
-You know what I mean.
-Go home.
Get some sleep.
-Not yet.
Trials won't begin for at least another week.
Take a couple days off.
You've earn it.
A little bit.
What am I looking at? Think about it this way.
There's a difference between a red car and a car that has been painted red.
The paint can be removed.
My memories, Stephanie's memories, I think they can be reverse.
How? The same way they were encoded.
The memories are artificial, they literally painted onto my brain.
You wanna replace them? Honestly, I never thought it was possible.
But when I saw the simulation, I realized the computer was both encoding and extracting the virtual memories.
-Like painting and erasing? -Exactly.
But, I mean, what about all your own memories? Everything that happen in the pat few months? They are the red car.
They weren't painted on, the extraction shouldn't touch them.
Shouldn't? You have no idea what this procedure could do to you.
I know that I have someone else's entire life time of thoughts and feelings.
I don't want them.
And now I might just be able to do something about it.
Julia I can't We can't allow you to try this on yourself, at least not yet.
No one has any idea what could happen! You worried about being a liable? I'm worried about my friend.
Look, I'm sorry, but until it safe methodecally control trials gets under way.
4Ever can't turn you into a guinea pig! -It's my chip, my choice! -No, it's not.
Now, I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to wait a little while.
Just be patient.
That's easy for you to say! You don't dream about the husband you never had, or wonder if you like chocolate because you actually like it, or because some dead woman liked it.
Colin planning on starting trials with clones in the next few weeks.
If that works out, maybe then we can discuss it.
Yeah! Sure! What's the rush, right? Get away from me! -You were trying to steal my company! -Our company.
I was going to divorce you! You You encrypted the prototype chip.
-And Michael killed you.
-What? Your body, your memories they are copies from someone else.
You're nothing really.
Not even a human.
You're just a clone.
Homer! Homer? Homer! David! -Hi.
-Hi, I'm sorry about that.
I guess he gets a little excited, seeing a familiar face.
Still using the dog to pick up women? Yeah, well, you know, he gets fed pretty well, so I think it's a fair trade.
Thanks.
I I was gonna call, but work got busy you know, and Yeah, it's fine.
Listen, it's really good seeing you again, but we gotta go.
Come on, Homer.
-Bye.
-David, wait.
Look I know it's kind of late, but How about dinner? You sure work won't get in the way? Not this time.
As I recall, Phil had tried to download someone's memories with, shall we say, mixed results.
There's been progress since then.
Up until now Julia was the only succesful case because the chip was designed to work specificaly with her brain patterns.
So much ironic that she'd be the one to finish what Stephanie White started.
And Bethany? I thought I made myself clear the last time.
You need to end it.
Someone here? I heard voices.
Ah, security.
They called about heat sensor or something.
The more complicated the systems, the more things break down.
This coming from the owner of the most advance tech company in US.
Actually, all over North America.
I love you.
-Everything all right? -Yeah, of course.
Did you? -Wow, that bad huh? -No, of course not.
I just have alot on my mind.
You're not gonna dissapear again, are you? If so, I could, bounce back and give it a little shot! Why do I get the feeling this is more about the male ego than me? There's nowhere else I rather be.
No, stop! Bethany? Everything all right? You know this is my first relationship since the divorce? That day when I found Adrian with another woman.
I came home early, you know, typical story.
Took the light of me, I can't remember what happened right before and afterwards.
Shock, I guess.
Listen to me, I sound like one of those day time talk shows.
We never really disccused your marriage with Adrian.
Probably because I never really done with it.
Didn't have any family to sit around and cry with.
My friends were all of his friends, so I got hurt, got divorced, started working here And then, presto! Brand new repackage life.
Julia think she can erase Stephanie's memories with this.
I don't know, I guess I just have been thinking.
You wish you could erase your own? I don't know.
Sometimes.
What, you don't have anything in your past you wish you could forget? Yeah I figured it's like a ball of string.
Start pulling out one thread and the whole thing might fell apart.
I keep my sense right where they belong In the past.
And what exactly what those sense be? I'll never tell.
Bethany You're the vice-president in a major hi-tech company.
Successful, independent If you erase the past you might lose all those qualities that make up the present.
Besides I kind of like the woman you are now.
Well, rumor has it, she kind of has a thing for you too.
Speaking of the present Homer! Just one! Well, I can get used to this.
Next time, I walk the dog, you cook.
Oh ok, so there's gonna be a next time? Jeez, you walk out on a guy once and he hold it against you forever.
Just one! Aren't you gonna be late for work? Well, my project is pretty much on hold right now.
Figured I take a few days off.
You know, you never actually told me what you do at 4Ever.
I work on biological replications, clones, memory downloads.
Stuff like that.
Really? Yeah, what? Oh, I don't know, it just Copying somebody memories like they're computer or something.
.
Just kind of sounds Invasive? Yes, something like that.
Listen, if you're gonna take a couple days off, how 'bout going fishing tomorrow morning? My brother and I go to the lake like, once a month.
It's pretty much just an excuse to drink beer.
Oh.
I know it's too soon.
No It's not that.
Oh, you have sea sick? I don't know.
Never been on a boat before.
You need to get out more.
So I've heard.
Maybe some other time.
You came here.
That was your choice, not the other woman's.
You are no more a copy of her than Than I am with my own father.
Live your life.
The rest gonna take care of itself.
Everytime I turn left I wonder if I should have gone right.
Because I don't know if I'm making a decision based on what I want or what Stephanie's would have.
But I am more than what my downloaded memories say that I am, just as you are more than your programming.
It was Stephanie White's company.
And she died a month ago.
They did an autopsy.
There was even a funeral, I hear it was quite touching.
Your body your memories They are copies from someone else.
You're nothing really.
Not even a human.
You just a clone.
Colin.
Yeah, hold on.
Yes.
Ok, thank you.
All right.
Care to tell me why security is calling to you? I asked them to let me know if Julia is coming by the lab.
Be right back.
-Should I -It's girl talk.
It used to be easier.
Computer, load extraction.
Julia 1 program.
Extraction program ready.
Begin program.
Extraction commencing.
In three two one.
Initiating.
Computer cancel program.
Authorisation Montrose 1138.
-What are you doing? -I was just about to ask you the exact same thing.
It's as my decision.
I design the damn thing.
You'll be pratically a blank slate.
All you have is your memories from the past few months.
Yeah, but they'll be my own, not someone elses.
Look, I get it.
We all have things in our past that we'd like to erase.
Yeah, but it's your past.
Don't try to tell me you understand what I'm going through.
I don't.
You right.
But I do know that Stephanie's memories are a part of you and if you pull out one string Everything that makes who you are could fall apart.
I'll take my chance.
Computer Cancel Montrose protocol.
Allow doctor White full access to extraction program.
Authorisation granted.
Program standing by.
I'll be right here when it's over.
Computer.
Extraction Proceeding Hey there, sailor.
Um Julia, nice outfit.
What? Isn't this what you and your brother wear? -You look great.
-Thanks.
And I even brought something for sea sickness.
Good idea.
I'm glad to see you can make it, I didn't think you're coming.
Well, there was something I thought I had to do.
BUt I decided against it.
Is it another guy? Another woman.
Sort of.
-Should I be jealous? -Hardly.
She's just someone who's a part of my life.
Stephanie.
Don't worry about it.
Now let's meet the family.
I was hoping that Julia would attempt the procedure.
If the erase was successful we got ahead start with the Gold chip test results.
It doesn't matter.
Start the test immedietly.
I want that chip up and running.
And Bethany? I think the dream started again.
Good.
-Perhaps we -You know what you have to do.
The fool falling in love with her.
I guess my little experiment is gonna come to an end.
One way or the other.
