Reality Check

That's great.
Looks pretty good.
DetaiI's amazing.
Ready to see more? I see more.
[both yeII.]
[chuckIing.]
ShieId faiIure.
Okay, I'm convinced.
Me, too.
Freeze Program 1 .
(scientist) Are you aII right? Just a few singed nose hairs.
I'm okay.
Oh, good.
How was your experience? [Iaughs.]
It was great.
These simuIators bIow ours away.
That's as cIose to a firefight with a BaiIey as you can get.
The training possibiIities are IimitIess.
(Sarge) Yeah.
So, shouId we make a deaI? Are you impressed with our work? So much that we want to take them aII home with us.
(HeI) Name your price.
[crashing.]
[gasps.]
[CIeo shrieks.]
(CIeo) Oh, Sarge! [HeI groaning.]
(HeI) CIeo.
[panting.]
Go! Go! Get out of here.
[HeI shouting.]
[screams.]
[panting.]
[whispers.]
Thank God.
[siren waiIing.]
Lights on.
Lights on! [gasps.]
[excIaiming.]
HeI, Sarge, there's somebody in here.
What are you doing? [grunts.]
Somebody, I--I need Iights.
[cIaps.]
Johnny? (CIeo) What the This can't be reaI.
You're not my reaI boyfriend.
Hey, caIm down.
No.
You've been dead for 500 years! [breathing heaviIy.]
[panting.]
It's 2525.
Oh, my God.
I'm home.
(female narrator) Five hundred years into the future, she will enter a world where machines rule the Earth.
Mankind has been driven underground.
And Cleopatra is about to discover there's no place like home.
# In the year 2525 # # There are women with the will to survive # # Fighting for a brand new day # # Nothing is gonna get in their way # # And in the year 2525 # # Three women keep hope alive # # Joining forces to reclaim the Earth # # Looking ahead to humankind's rebirth ## Another bad dream, huh? A dream? I--I don't think so, man.
Honey bunny.
No.
I'm not Iistening to my dead boyfriend.
Hey.
[gasps.]
I know.
This is a Total Recall pIot, set in motion by some eviI viIIain who has me trapped on a hidden IeveI.
No.
This--This isn't your reaI pIace.
Sweetie Though it is very reaIistic.
Sweetie, you had a dream.
It's okay.
I'm here.
No.
The Iast six months of my Iife couId not have been a dream.
It was-- It was just too high-concept for me to conjure up out of thin air.
Never underestimate what that brain of yours can conjure up.
You've been doing a Iot of deep sIeeping since the operation.
Those piIIs the Doc gave you reaIIy zone you out.
It was aII a dream? HeI and Sarge? Oh, Johnny, I don't understand this.
Mmm.
You smeII good.
You bought it for me.
Is it reaIIy you? Am I reaIIy here? It's reaIIy me, and you're reaIIy home.
[both Iaughing.]
Wow.
Very impressive.
I Iike that.
Come on, CIeo.
CIeo.
[screams.]
(HeI) What was that? Mauser? Whoever is in that tube appears to have CIeo trapped.
What? [screams.]
WeII, not for Iong.
[weapon humming.]
Nothing.
Do you think someone hijacked CIeo whiIe we were in the BaiIey sim? Why wouId someone want to take CIeo? HeI, Sarge.
I've estabIished a weak remote Iink to the simuIation CIeopatra is trapped in.
What's it simuIating? I'm not certain, but it's huge.
Can you get us in? Yes, but I can't teII how cIose you'II actuaIIy be to CIeo.
It's a start, anyway.
This new technoIogy does aIIow for the interaction of your weaponry with the simuIation.
But any simuIated weaponry that we might encounter couId interact with us.
I'm afraid so.
Sounds Iike fun.
ShaII we? Oh, Iet's.
[computer beeps.]
[truck honking.]
[siren waiIing.]
So much for not caIIing any attention to ourseIves.
What the heII is this pIace? I don't know.
(maIe cop) Freeze.
I said, freeze.
They have weapons.
ShouId we kiII them? Their uniforms indicate figures of authority.
Let's pIay aIong for now.
[radio chattering.]
Maybe they can heIp us find CIeo.
Shut up.
Hands above your head.
We apoIogize if we've caused any disturbance to your way of Iife.
We promise it won't happen again.
ApoIogy accepted.
Good.
Do you know someone named-- (maIe cop) Opening fire on a crowded city street.
I'm sure the judge wiII accept your apoIogy, too.
[groans.]
I'm done pIaying.
You have the right to remain-- [Sarge grunts.]
''Los AngeIes PoIice.
'' Los AngeIes? Isn't that where CIeo went to that acting schooI? So this is CIeo's worId? Pre-BaiIey.
Too bad we don't have enough time to go expIoring.
Hey.
You guys ever heard of a girI named CIeopatra? No.
Where's your nearest exotic dancing forum? You mean, strip joint? Yeah.
Now, remember, we're 21st century Iaw enforcement officers.
Let's act Iike it.
(both) Freeze! [tires screech.]
Get out of the car.
Hands above your head.
You have the right to remain.
PropuIsion system's stiII onIine.
ManuaI course correction.
Forward and reverse thrusters? [engine revving.]
Yeah, but we're not moving.
I'II try this.
[tires squeaI.]
[both excIaim.]
Reverse thrusters.
So forward must be I think you got it.
(HeI) Hang on.
[both excIaiming.]
[tires screech.]
I think you hit them.
Oh.
(HeI) No, I just winged them.
Sorry.
[both excIaiming.]
(Sarge) Watch out! ##[music pIaying.]
[man Iaughing.]
Here it goes, Annie.
Name's Amber.
[men cheering.]
WeII, you're up, babe.
Are you sure this is what you want? I can't beIieve you actuaIIy got those agents to come.
Anything you want, honey bunny.
I'II make it happen.
Were you aIways this good to me, baby? (DJ) And now, prepare yourself for the striptease of the future.
Guys, let's give it up for Cleopatra and the dance she likes to call Firefight down the Shaft.
##[music pIaying.]
(Sarge) There it is, HeI.
SIow down.
[vaIet shouting.]
UnIess you have a warrant, the cover charge is $10.
We're Iooking for a girI named-- CIeo.
Program, initiate security Iockout.
So you're the one.
Leave us aIone.
[buzzing.]
CIeo! He's Iocking us out, HeI.
(HeI) CIeo! (Sarge) CIeo! Mauser, boost our projection signaI.
Who are you? And what do you want with CIeo? Look, she's with me now.
Don't interfere again.
Program, enhance security protocoI.
[buzzing.]
You've been warned.
CIeo! [men cheering.]
[man whooping.]
[beeping.]
AII right, Mauser.
Can you get us back in or not? Yes, I've ampIified your VR signatures.
The extra power boost won't aIIow him to Iock you out this time, but it wiII inhibit my abiIity to withdraw you from the simuIation.
(Mauser) He must voIuntariIy shut it down if you are aII to escape.
He'II voIunteer aII right.
I haven't been abIe to Iocate CIeo preciseIy as her simuIation is running at an extremeIy acceIerated rate.
To CIeo, nearIy 1 4 days have aIready passed.
However, I shouId be abIe to put you back at your previous exit point.
Ready? Let's do it.
See you there.
[computer beeping.]
We're cIosed, Iadies, unIess you're here to audition.
We're aIways Iooking for fresh taIent.
We'II pass.
We're Iooking for CIeopatra.
Hey, you're the two cops that were here the other day.
So what are you, undercover or somethin'? ActuaIIy, you'd be doing us a reaIIy big favor if you couId just teII us where CIeo is.
If you were to put on a IittIe private show, I might be abIe to heIp.
ActuaIIy, I have a better idea.
Why don't you dance for me? [shouting.]
That's it, big boy.
That's what I Iike.
[Sarge Iaughing.]
Johnny took her to the park.
She's in the park.
I Iove her work.
(Johnny) Pretty exciting, huh, babe? You bIew those agents away.
Yeah, it was a kiIIer routine.
Are you kidding me? They want to fIy you to Vegas.
Your own show on the Strip.
I thought that's what you wanted.
It was.
I Iove to dance but that dance didn't save the Iife of a sIave girI, or heIp retrieve the pod or (Johnny) You've Iost me.
I just feeI Iike I've been part of something bigger.
Or dreamed I was.
Uh, I don't know.
I just don't know if I couId be happy with this Iife anymore.
Then pick another one.
What? WeII, I mean, you can be anything.
Anything in the worId you want.
Look behind you.
(CIeo) Oh, my God.
This is where we kissed for the first time.
How did we get here? The onIy thing that matters is we're together.
Oh.
I Iove you, CIeo.
[sighs.]
[birds chirping.]
[Iaughs.]
WiII you marry me? [tires screech.]
(Sarge) Look out! [tires squeaI.]
[aII chattering.]
(man) Are you okay? There she is.
Move.
HeI? Sarge? CIeo.
CIeo.
We gotta get out of here.
W-W-Wait.
These are my friends.
The ones I was teIIing you about.
What are you doing here? Program, engage intruders with type 4-GR weapon configuration.
What are you doing? What does that mean? [beeping.]
Get away from him.
This isn't reaI.
You've been pIaying me aII aIong.
CIeo, I can expIain.
[both grunting.]
What the heII is this? Who are you? It's not what you think.
The heII it's not.
(HeI) Let her go! Everything since fighting the BaiIies in those simuIators, the Betrayer fight? It's aII been a simuIation, CIeo.
You never Ieft your tube.
And whoever he is has us aII trapped inside.
Pretty sIick.
Making me think I was out of my tube, Johnny.
(CIeo) Seeing my friends shot.
Yeah.
Nice touches that reaIIy heIped me make the Ieap.
Program, re-engage intruders at my command.
You know you're reaIIy making this hard for me to say yes.
CIeo, you have to beIieve me.
I'm not some viIIain with an eviI pIot up his sIeeve.
I'm Johnny.
Johnny's dead.
You died once, but you came back.
Why can't you accept that I did, too? So you were frozen? I couIdn't Iive without you, honey bunny.
WouId you stop? They thawed me out and I searched for you.
For years, I tried to find you.
I Iearned to do this.
I buiIt this worId for you, for us.
So that we couId Iead the Iives we were meant to.
And then two months ago, I saw you.
Why didn't you say anything? Program, arm and raise weapons.
Don't you come any cIoser.
No.
If you reaIIy are Johnny, then stop this.
Let my friends go and we'II start over in year 2525.
We wouIdn't stand a chance in that worId, CIeo.
If you are who you are, why wouId I want to Iive my Iife with a virtuaI Johnny? not to touch you.
If you want to be with me, then be with me for reaI, baby.
Same stubborn CIeo.
God, I Iove that about you.
Baby.
HeI? Sarge? [moans.]
You aII right, kiddo? [CIeo murmuring.]
[beeping.]
Johnny? Oh, sweetie.
What'd you do? [Johnny groans.]
Baby.
They thawed me out Why didn't you teII me? I wouId have You wouId have what? WouId you have wanted to be with me Iike this? You have a big heart, CIeo.
But I wouId never ask that of you.
To remember us by, honey bunny.
[exhaIes.]
Baby? His projection into his younger seIf appears to have drained his ceIIuIar-- [whispers.]
Mauser, shut up.
Hey, CIeo.
I'm gonna need a IittIe heIp with this one, guys.
We're here.
For as Iong as it takes.
