Dream Hacker (2025) Movie Script
1
- Sue.
Sue.
- Hello?
Is someone there?
Oh, Dan, what are you doing there?
You gave me such a fright.
It's the middle of the night.
- Sorry, Sue, I'm in court in the mornin
Just checking I've got it all in order.
We are up before old Judge Bull.
You know what he's like.
- Oh yeah.
I should, I was his
junior for long enough.
Well, okay.
Good luck.
Dan?
Okay.
- It's over, Sue.
Wake up.
It's me, Jennifer.
Come back to me now.
Just open your eyes.
Three.
Two.
One.
Hello, Sue.
Take your time.
You may feel a little
disoriented at first.
That's completely normal.
Do you remember why you're here?
- Yes, you, um, you hypnotized me
so I could relive my dream,
my, my nightmare.
- So I could experience it with you.
You gave me a vivid insight
into what's been going on
in that brain of yours.
You have an irrational
fear of being chased.
It's not uncommon in high
flyers like yourself.
We even have a name for it, diokophobia.
You told me you'd recently
lost a high-profile case,
a murder, wasn't it?
That must have knocked your confidence,
left you feeling threatened, overwhelmed
Am I right?
- Professor Hanson, um,
I'm afraid Professor Connelly
is still in a session with
Ms. Hamilton right now.
- Yes.
Well, that's all right, Peter.
I'll wait.
- Oh, I can't tell you
what a relief this is.
Perhaps I'll get a decent
night's sleep at last.
- Perhaps, but we have a way to go yet.
I'll see you next week.
- Yeah.
- Take it easy,
and you have my emergency
number if you need it.
- Thank you.
Let's hope I don't.
- Oh, Bill.
- Sue.
- Oh, how nice to see you.
- And you.
- Do you know, I
really have to thank you
for introducing me to Jennifer.
She is a miracle worker.
- Isn't she just?
I'm so glad I persuaded her to come over
our brilliant young professor
from across the pond.
- A good decision all round.
- Well, I-
- I was-
- I, I have to
get back to chambers.
It, it's nice to see you.
- And you.
- Erm, bye, Jennifer.
Bye, Pete.
Bye, Bill.
- Bye, Sue.
- Pete, book in Ms. Hamilton
for the same time next week.
Oh, and I've given her
my emergency number.
- Sure.
Enjoy your lunch, guys.
- So, how is Ms. Hamilton KC?
I've known her since we were at Oxford.
Do you know, she was the youngest woman
in her year to take silk?
- Take silk?
- Yes.
- So British.
She is an interesting case though.
You know I can't discuss
individual patients,
but have you ever heard of diokophobia?
- No.
- I saw a lot of it when
I was an intern in Denver.
Highflyers, especially women
threatened by younger colleagues.
- And I bet you wish
you could use, you know,
Project Indigo Dawn on her.
- So that's what this is about.
I told you when I came over,
Indigo Dawn is no ordinary project.
Get it right and it's world changing.
Get it wrong and it doesn't
bear thinking about.
- I understand, Jennifer,
but you need to know
that the powers that be
are losing patience.
You're three months overdue
already, and as your sponsor,
I am getting it in the
neck from the government.
Look, I just need to
give them some answers.
- Do they even know what it
is that I'm trying to achieve?
This could help cure all
kinds of clinical conditions,
but get it wrong and I
could end up lobotomizing
anyone who came near it.
How would your government explain that?
- Look, I have protected you,
made it possible for you to work,
not be interrupted by countless meetings
and endless government watch bodies,
but now the funding
could stop at any moment.
Fail at this and your credibility
within the scientific community
will be shot to pieces.
- Look, I'm close, okay?
There's just one final
hurdle that's got me stumped.
- Jennifer, I have every faith in you.
You are like a daughter to me.
The last thing your father
said to me before he died was,
"Promise to look out for my little girl.
I'll never break that promise.
- I know.
You've always been there for me.
- And I always will be.
I owe it to your dad.
See, when I first arrived in America,
I was a wet-behind-the-ears graduate
who thought he was God's gift to science
Oh, but he put me right.
Your dad was the cleverest man I ever me
and the kindest.
- I wish I remembered him better.
I was so young when the accident happene
- That was the worst night of my life.
He was driving back to
the lab to help me out,
just typical of him.
But he never turned up.
I got to the hospital as fast as I could
but his injuries were too severe, I-
- It was a long time ago
and it's not your fault.
- Do you know why I do this?
Same reason you do.
When you immerse yourself in your work
or take up yet another martial art
to make sure you are
too busy to socialize.
You see, it's a vain attempt
to protect ourselves from
everything and everyone.
But you're your father's
daughter all right.
You always thought outside the box,
that's why I stuck my neck out
for you with our government.
- But now you think that I can't do it?
- I'm just saying you do
sometimes miss the obvious.
- What do you mean?
- Well, I've seen it before.
Extraordinary minds locked
up in laboratories 24/7,
so obsessed with their projects
that they become blinkered.
- And you think that's happened to me?
- Perhaps.
Jennifer, I don't want to sound too hars
but in the time you've been here,
your social life has been zero.
- Oh, Bill, I don't have
time for a social life.
- Well, then it's time you made some.
It may help you get
over that final hurdle.
Jennifer, you are not just clever,
you are a beautiful young woman too.
- And you think I need a boyfriend,
to what, make me happy,
and somehow that'll unlock
the key to Indigo Dawn.
- No, I'm simply suggesting
you get out there in the
real world, meet people.
It may even help you come at
it from this new perspective.
- You might be right.
I have lived and breathed
this project for two years.
Actually, Pete has tried to
set me up with a friend of his,
some guy named Jason.
- Well, there you go then.
A little distraction is never a bad thin
- Adam, play something
fun from my playlist.
- Playing track 23
from your personal playlist.
- No, I think he stood me up.
Either that or he took one look and left
Actually, you know
what, I'm just gonna go.
Why would I stay, Pete?
Pete, I think he's here.
You never said he was good looking.
Okay, Pete, I got it.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Jason?
- Jenny?
- Actually, this is Jennifer.
Jennifer Connelly.
- Ah, what, like the actress?
- No, like the scientist.
- Your bill.
- What, you leaving already?
- Oh, you were late and I thought-
- Right, fuck that.
Love, sort us out a couple
of Jagerbombs, will you?
- Sure, Jason.
- Do you know her?
- Who, her?
Nah, nah, nah.
I get recognized a lot, you know, yeah.
I like the schoolteacher look, yeah.
Sexy.
- Um, I'm a professor
of neural science at the university.
And what is it you do to get recognized?
Er, are you a painter?
- What, like, like slap of magnolia
on old ladies' walls or something?
- Uh, no, um, by painter I meant artist.
You know the paint
stained jeans, the whole-
- Oh, you like this stuff, huh?
These are a designer original, love.
$200 a pop, yeah.
You know, you ain't too
bad looking yourself.
Pete tells me how you don't get out much
- Did he?
- Ah, nice one, girl, yeah.
Get that down you, girl.
It's gonna be a mad one.
Cheers, people.
Wahay!
- So what is it you do?
- This and that, really.
Anything to earn a bob or two.
I mean like wearing these jeans, you kno
- You get paid to wear those?
- Yeah, I get loads of free stuff.
Wear it a few times,
post a few pics, sell it on.
Bish, bash, bosh, nice bit of dosh.
You know how it works.
- No, not really.
- Jason, um, can we have a selfie?
- Yeah, of course, guys.
Come on. Chill out, sit down.
- I'll take it.
Do you mind?
- Jump there.
There you go, take a seat.
Squeeze in, love, you're all right.
No problem, girls, anytime, anytime.
- Perfect.
- Nice.
- Got it.
- I'll see you later, yeah?
- Um, I'm gonna go.
Goodbye Jason.
I won't say it's been a pleasure.
- Your loss, love.
Your loss.
What's happening, girls?
One seat for free, one on my knee.
- Adam, lights.
Adam, compose email to Pete.
Subject, "Never again."
- Recording email.
"Never again."
- "Pete, I value you as a work colleague
but that guy was gross.
They say opposites attract,
but there is no..."
Huh?
Oh.
That's it, opposites.
Uh, Adam, delete email.
Don't send.
- Email deleted.
- How did I not see it?
Opposites attract.
Adam, run Indigo Dawn program 546.
- Project Indigo Dawn activated.
- Okay, this is it.
Now or never.
- Hello, Ms. Connelly.
Welcome.
- Who is that?
Where am I?
- You should know, Ms. Connelly,
you invented this location.
- Did I?
I don't think I did.
Okay, well, if you can't
tell me where I am,
at least tell me who you are.
- You invented me too.
- Really?
You sound like my virtual assistant,
but hell, this is way too weird.
I invented a way to watch
people's dreams, to study them.
So this is a dream?
- Correct.
- Okay, I get it now.
- And incorrect.
This is more like the
place between dreams.
- Geez.
Uh, okay, well, can I at least
stop talking into a void?
- Define parameters
for interaction.
- Parameters for, oh,
how I want you to look.
Uh, like a guy, I guess.
You sound like a guy.
Or maybe-
- Parameters accepted.
- Hang on, uh, I didn't choose anything.
- Not required.
Project Indigo Dawn
accessed your subconscious.
- Jason.
Oh my, no!
Oh my God.
Oh my God, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Absolutely not you.
- I do not understand, Ms. Connelly.
You liked him.
- Just put some clothes on.
What is this?
Look, there may have been some
fleeting carnal attraction,
but I'd never be interested in a guy
who has the morals of a running donkey
and the arrogance of a peacock.
Not to mention your, his dress sense.
- I see.
Maybe this is more to
your taste, miss Connelly.
And as far as my morals go, without you,
I have no personality,
except the one you programmed me with.
- Fine. You'll do for now.
So, how does this work?
- As the primary user,
this is where you input your desires
and make them a reality.
- My desires?
- Describe to me, what
is Project Indigo Dawn?
- I wanna find cures by accessing
people's subconscious
through their dreams.
I wanna reveal how individuals
function beneath the surface.
I wanna explore the mind
from a unique perspective.
- Then let's begin.
- He came last week and,
wow, he gave me the biggest
tip that I've ever had.
You okay?
You listening to me?
- Where am I?
- Jeez, Candy, you're
starting to worry me now.
If you've forgotten that
you're in this dive,
you need to go home.
- No, uh, wait, I, I'm fine.
- I'll go tell Mike you need to go home.
- Mike.
Uh, no.
I'm fine, honestly, I'm all right.
- Listen, you pregnant?
I mean, it's none of my business,
but things could get pretty awkward
between you and Johnny
at the moment, you know?
- Johnny?
Pregnant?
No, of course not.
I, I just felt a little dizzy, that's al
- If you say so, sweetie.
Whatever, you better go,
otherwise Mike's gonna fire your ass.
- Adam, what the hell?
Where am I?
- You're in Florida, USA,
and you are for the next
few minutes at least Candy,
a cocktail waitress in
Cheetah's Strip Club.
- I am?
- Now, I suggest you get out ther
and experience a little
of life in her shoes.
After all, that is what you requested.
- Good evening, Candy.
It's a full house tonight.
- Hey, Candy.
Candy?
What about a little ass over here now?
- Uh, sorry, Mike.
- Four shots for booth 21.
- Geez, Candy, 21.
VIP area.
By the johns.
Hey, ain't you forgetting something?
Tip jar.
- Oh.
- What's up with you tonight, kid?
- So in the morning,
I say we take him out.
God damn snitch.
Question is how.
His place is like Fort fucking Knox.
- I say we go in packing enough heat
to whack Al-Qaeda.
Any motherfuckers gets in our way,
we ice them too.
- Far be it for me to
interfere with family business.
- Don't, Ray.
This fucker's got it coming to him.
Besides, I don't need to hear
any of your British sensibility right no
- So, we all agreed?
- Sure.
We pop Frankie de Franzo
and we fry anybody who gets in our way.
- You stupid bitch.
Apologies, fellas.
Candy, fetch these
gentlemen another drink-
- Yeah.
- On the house.
- Oh my God.
- Sebastian, can I call you back?
Something's come up.
- It works, Bill!
I can hardly believe it, but it works.
- Adam, pause video.
- Affirmative.
- This is fantastic.
I'm so proud of you.
- It all happened after
my date last night.
You were right.
- Yes, well, I can see
you didn't make it home.
- Oh my God, nothing like that.
Oh, he is the opposite of my kind of guy
- You've lost me.
- Opposites attract.
Look at this.
I just reversed the numbers
from positive to negative
and that opened the
door to the hippocampus.
- It's brilliant, just brilliant.
Oh, one question,
why are you dreaming about
gangsters and murder plots?
- I have no idea.
- Hey Bill, it's me.
If you are hearing this,
it may be the most surreal
message you'll ever receive.
My God, that is extraordinary.
It's remarkable. It's so real.
You have done so much more than
just tapping into the dream.
- You think so? Thanks, Bill.
- Listen, I have, yeah,
I've got a faculty meeting.
I'll be back soon.
- But Bill, don't you wanna watch the-
- Later.
It's great work, Jennifer,
truly great work.
Yes.
- William?
William!
William, that Wang Lei chappy
has called three times now.
- Hey Bill, it's me.
If you're hearing this,
it may be the most surreal message
you'll ever receive, but it
will prove without a doubt
that your theory is correct.
- Charlotte.
Charlotte! Code red.
Edgar, it's Bill Hanson.
Oh, we need to talk.
- Good news?
- Maybe.
- Bill, thanks for waiting.
Sorry, old boy, no can do.
- What?
But the video of the voice
message I sent myself,
it proves its capabilities beyond doubt.
- No, doesn't prove anything.
I told you two years ago
that this wasn't something
my department would sanction
and it still isn't.
And you're still the same Bill.
You were the same at university.
You listen but you don't hear.
I represent this department,
and this department
represents the government.
If I submit something to the PM,
it needs to be based on
more than an unfulfilled
professor's recommendation
and a fucking USB stick.
- Now listen, Edgar,
I have bankrolled this experiment
because I was certain that you would see
what she has to offer.
- Oh, you bankrolled it, did you?
Well, I admire your confidence
that it is something my
department would buy.
But you know me, Bill, I'm a skeptic.
I need credible evidence,
and this isn't it.
- Jesus Christ, Edgar,
do you know how much I've sacrificed
to get the project this far?
Do you have any idea how much effort
Jennifer and her team have put in?
This is revolution.
Oh my God,
you still haven't forgiven me, have you?
Still haven't got over the fact
that I was better than you.
Better grades, better degree,
and yes, a bloody better person.
- Getting a bit old for
this, aren't you, Bill?
Isn't that chip on your
shoulder getting a bit heavy?
Still posing as a maverick at your age?
Well, it isn't my fault that
you're still an outsider,
and it's not my fault
that you're not one of us.
I'll be straight with you, Bill,
you've been taken in by a
plausible, attractive young woman.
An old man made to look very foolish.
Happens to the best of us.
Still, Bill, thanks for your time.
Must go, things to do.
- William, I have known you long enough
to know when you are in the shit,
and as I haven't heard from you
since you're meeting with Edgar,
I can only assume that it didn't go well
So as your assistant, no, as your friend
I need to know what's going on.
That Mr. Lei has been calling
every hour on the hour.
He's very persistent.
- Let's just take her now, shall we?
- No.
- He also said something
about owing him money,
a lot of money, and how you
could avoid any unpleasantness.
Mr. Lei is not a pleasant man.
He also mentioned Professor Connelly.
Now this has something to
do with her, doesn't it?
Do you know what, in my opinion,
you are way too soft on that young woman
Call me as soon as you get this message.
I do not like being, uh, what's the word
Ghosted. Thank you.
Bill, I think, I'm not sure,
but I think I've just been
given a message for you.
Look, I'll do whatever I can to help you
but I'm not getting killed for it,
so just call me as soon as
you get this message, okay?
Bye.
- Morning, Professor.
Look, um, I just wanted to
say sorry again about Jason.
- Forget it, Pete.
Actually, you did me a favor.
- Really, but I thought that-
- Oh, oh, no, he was a jerk,
but listen to this.
Adam?
- Hello, Ms.
Connelly, my old friend.
Welcome.
- What's up with the virtual assistant?
- I merged the DPPs,
uh, the digital personality patterns.
I found a way to align both Adams,
the virtual assistant and
the one in Indigo Dawn.
- Wait, you mean the project
that's so top secret,
you're not allowed to talk
about, not even to me.
- Yes. Right, uh.
Thank you for the coffee.
Goodbye Pete.
That was dumb.
Adam, how do you feel?
- How do I feel?
- Yeah.
Uh, what I mean is,
what's it like interacting
freely through the speaker?
- I'm not sure.
Hey, I am now online too.
- Yeah, I
thought it would be easier
than you asking me lots of questions.
- Why is that important?
- Soon the government are
gonna want a full demo.
My life's work is on the line.
Everything has to be perfect.
- Ms. Connelly, I
do not think you realize
quite what you have achieved,
the help you could bring to humanity,
the reach that help could stretch.
In my opinion, mankind will
always be in your debt.
- I've never thought about it like that.
Thanks, Adam.
- You're quite
welcome, Ms. Connelly.
- From now on, you can call me Jennifer.
- Okay, Jennifer.
- Ready?
- Affirmative.
Project Indigo Dawn activated.
- Keep coming back when they see my tits
and for a measly $15.
The guy's a sleaze ball.
I'm telling you.
- He does know you're just a waitress.
- Yeah.
- I bet you'd put him right.
Night, see you tomorrow.
- Night.
- Night.
Night, Bella. Night, Annie.
- Hey, Candy, is Johnny
picking you up tonight?
- Johnny?
Oh, er, no, no, not tonight.
Hey, you haven't seen a guy
in a brightly colored suit, have you?
- What are you
talking about, Candy?
- They cannot see me, Jennifer.
- Oh, it's nothing, I guess.
Er, it's just been a rough night.
- Boy.
- Come on,
you've been acting weird all night.
- Jackpot.
- Yeah, there was
that big scene outside the VIP area.
- It's nothing, I promise.
You don't have to worry
about me, I'm fine.
- So there's nobody picking you up?
No Johnny and no guy in a loud suit?
- Something doesn't seem
right here, Jennifer.
I think you should leave.
- So it seems.
Hey, er, you know what?
I'm just gonna head home.
I'm really tired.
- If only it was that easy,
Miss Candy Anne Evans.
- What, I don't, what?
- You really should have
known better, Candy.
- Go, get off.
No, hey.
You're the guys from booth 21.
- Fuck!
I told you she' be able to ID us.
- Get off me.
- Told you these
masks were a stupid idea.
- Ow!
- Hand me the fucking camera.
- Hey, Jake, we did what you asked.
Did I do good?
- Dumb, bitch, don't
tell her my fucking name.
- Oops.
- Come on, get her in the van.
- No, Adam, Adam, help!
Help me!
- You're heavy.
- No! Help!
- Well, you gonna do something?
- We pay these bitches off,
and let's get the fuck outta here.
- So you call yourself a friend.
Enjoy your blunt money.
- And what about me?
- I'll
sort you out. Let's go.
- Adam?
Adam!
I know you're here.
Adam, what the hell?
- Jennifer.
- Don't Jennifer me.
- What's going on?
Those guys.
This isn't a dream, is it?
It's way too real.
- Remember I told you that this inventio
can be whatever you want it to be.
- So?
I wanna find cures by
accessing people's subconscious
through their dreams.
I wanna reveal how individuals function
beneath the surface.
I wanna explore the mind
from a unique perspective.
- I let you walk in her shoes, Jennifer,
if only for a moment.
- You let me?
Who's running this show?
Christ, that poor girl is in real danger
What have I done?
Adam, I need to figure out how this work
the rules, the do's, the don'ts.
A young woman's life is on the line
and we don't have a lot of time.
- Certainly.
If speed is of the essence.
- Oh my God,
what are we doing here?
- You wanted to know how this works.
I had to find two people
in close proximity to each other.
- And you thought inhabiting a trick
and a john was the best way?
- I needed them to be asleep,
and the surge of endorphins
released during the act of-
- Spare me the details.
It didn't take long for
your prefrontal cortex
to go there, did it?
My mistake, I should
have made you a woman.
- This scenario seemed the obvious choic
- I get it, okay?
- Take a look at yourself.
Move your body, body, body, body, girl
Move your body, body, body, body, girl
- How about warning me
where we're going in future?
- Certainly.
Jennifer, it's like this,
when you're connected to Indigo Dawn,
your consciousness can
access my environment.
From there, I can let you
inhabit just about anyone.
- So it seems.
- Providing their brain patterns
are on a low wavelength,
preferably when they are asleep.
- But Candy was never asleep.
- Candy is an interesting case.
Her mind wonders, she's a daydreamer.
My theory is that makes her susceptible,
like epileptics, snoozers, drunks even.
They could all be ripe for inhabiting.
- Can we just get out of here?
- Certainly.
- So basically, is there a time limit
for how long I can inhabit somebody?
- In theory, no.
You will most probably wake when they do
or unless something else wakes you.
When Candy got hit over
the head, for instance,
the shock was enough to bring you back.
- Even though she was knocked out.
- We've still got a lot to discover.
But you won't be doing this alone.
When you are inhabiting,
I can appear to you, but remember,
I can't interact with
anything or anyone except you.
- Unless you inhabit a body too.
- Correct, but I have
different limitations to you.
I am artificial and I am already using
billions of megabytes
just to appear for you.
My host has to be in a non-REM stage fou
the deepest stage of sleep.
- Hence why the brothel was so ideal.
- Exactly.
- Okay, I need to find out
what's happening with Candy.
If she's unconscious, maybe I can go bac
- Unfortunately, Candy is
wide awake and terrified.
Her adrenaline levels are
spiking off the scale.
You are also going to wake up soon too.
And before you do, there is
something else you need to know.
It concerns Professor Hanson.
Sit with me.
When he was in Indigo Dawn,
he rang his own phone from the phone box
- What?
- Take a look for yourself.
- Hey Bill, it's me.
If you're hearing this,
it may be the most surreal
message you'll ever receive,
but it will prove without a doubt
that your theory is correct.
- Damn, I think I need
to get a lot more sleep.
- Hi guys.
Uh, Candy here,
supporting a, uh, rather
fetching black eye.
Um, so I know some of you have expressed
some concern about, you know,
where I've been or how I got this,
and honestly it was just a stupid mistak
You know, I simply slipped and I fell,
um, hitting my eye on the door handle.
Uh, so, where as I, I love
you all for your concern,
um, it's just me being clumsy,
as always.
And, and if you see Johnny,
just give him a break
because he, it honestly
had nothing to do with him.
Okay, well, love you all.
Kiss kiss.
- Professor Connelly, how may I help you
- I need to see Bill at once.
- That won't be possible.
- He'll wanna see me.
This is urgent.
- The Professor didn't
come in this morning,
which is most unusual
'cause he's got a faculty meeting.
- Geez, how many faculty
meetings does he have?
He rushed off yesterday to get to one.
- Yesterday, oh, no, I
think you're mistaken.
Faculty meetings are every
Tuesday at 11 o'clock.
The Dean is strangely
particular about that.
But William not being here
is not the only strange
thing to happen today,
amongst other things I was-
- Okay, well, ask him to call me urgentl
Actually, there is something
I need from his office.
- Bloody woman!
- Excuse me, we're looking for Professor
- Professor William Hanson is
not available at the moment.
- But we ain't looking for him,
we're looking for her.
- Professor Jennifer Connelly.
- I haven't seen her all day.
- That's strange 'cause we
just saw her come in here.
Pretty sure she's in that room.
- I don't know
what you're looking for,
but I can assure you,
Professor Connelly is not in that room.
- Can we go in, please?
- No, no.
I don't know who you are or what you wan
- Well, uh-
- But I can't let you
go wandering into his office
without seeing something official first.
- This is crazy.
We're not asking you, we're telling you
to get outta way now.
- Come on, move aside.
- Now, be polite and say please.
- You what?
Can you believe this fucking woman?
I've had enough of this.
Get outta the way!
- She's gone out the window.
- Come on, we'll get her outside.
You go that way, I'll go this.
- Get off me! Get off!
- I don't wanna hurt you.
Stop resisting.
We just wanna talk.
- Okay, okay.
- We just wanna talk.
- Oh, no.
- Fuck me, Georgie boy.
Come on, mate, what's the matter with yo
Just been done by a bird.
Get up, pussy.
Act like a pair of curtains,
pull yourself together,
and fucking let's go to work.
And you, where'd you think you're going?
Fucking hell, George.
What was all that about?
You squaring up to me?
Hey, George?
Come on then.
You want it?
You're gonna get it. Ah!
- We've got him tied up now.
Put a timer on your phone,
30 minutes should do it.
- Bill?
- Sue.
- We had a lunch date.
- Oh my god, I am sorry.
A faculty meeting overran.
I should have called.
- Yeah, yeah, whatever.
- Look, I am so sorry.
I, well, you look nice.
- Bye, Bill.
- Shall I call to rearrange?
- I'll think about it.
I mean, it depends what I'm doing.
Might be washing my hair.
- If they found me at Bill's office,
they'll definitely find me here.
Whoever they are.
We're gonna have to pack everything up.
- And quickly.
- Are you sure
I can unplug the CPU?
- I should be fine.
I'm just in the system,
I'm not the system.
- You know, we're technically stealing
government property.
- And you got a better idea?
Look, Jennifer, I understand
this is your career,
your invention, but I
only exist because of you.
Then there's the issue of Candy.
- Candy, yeah, of course.
Uh, we better get a move on.
Okay, let's go.
- Cable ties, quick.
See you on the other side.
- The fuck?
Hey, get back here!
Come back!
Get back here!
- Uh, I have a room booked.
- What name is it in, please?
- Bligh, Amanda Bligh.
- Well, here's your room key.
Okay, well, breakfast
is served from seven.
- About time.
Where have you been?
No one could find you
and I was about to call the police.
- No, don't do that.
I've got it all under
control, just trust me.
- Oh, yes, so under control,
you had to sneak in the back door.
What about Jennifer?
- Don't worry about Jennifer.
Just make yourself scarce.
Mr. Lei is on his way over
and I don't wanna be worrying
about you when I meet him.
- But-
- No buts.
Just get yourself home, okay?
- I don't know what
you've got yourself into,
William, but you take care.
- Charlotte.
- Come on, guys, let's go.
- I am very disappointed, Professor.
I thought you said you
could handle the situation.
- Handle it, handle it.
God damn it, Lee.
If it was left to me, I would have,
but no, you had to send
in these two buffoons.
- Bill, be careful.
Remember who you're talking to.
- All I'm saying is I could
have brought her in quietly.
You can't underestimate her.
- As I'm finding out.
So, what do we do now?
- First we have to find
out where she's gone.
- Have they checked the CCTV?
- It's been disabled across the campus.
No coincidence, I suspect.
As I said, she shouldn't
be underestimated.
- I'm the doorman
in these here parts.
My rules, my ways.
- Adam?
- Jennifer, how was the hotel?
Did you use the propofol
that you borrowed from the Professor?
- No need.
By the time I'd hauled everything upstai
and wired it all up, I was wiped.
What about you?
Have you just been watching the TV?
- Hmm, not exactly.
I was keeping an eye on Candy
and reading "Moby Dick,"
learning how to make a souffle.
Just generally trying
to become more human,
as well as checking out your Professor.
- Bill?
- Hmm.
Did you know he was a heavy gambler?
- Bill, gambling?
- And I'm not talking about losing
a couple of thousand either.
He's a high roller and he's
up to his neck in debt.
- Really? That surprises me.
I knew about his drinking problem,
but this is something else.
Hopefully nothing.
- Or everything.
- Okay, uh, what about Candy?
Is she okay?
- Mm, kind of.
Wherever she is doesn't have CCTV.
I've been monitoring her brain patterns
and her anxiety levels
are through the roof.
Fortunately for her and
you, she's finally asleep.
- Great. Okay, well send me back in.
- You got it, partner.
Yee-haw!
- And then we
gotta make the hit tomorrow.
- Maybe, but what about the girl?
Clever Jake worked her over pretty good.
- It's okay, Jennifer, stay very quiet.
- Carmine,
how much does she know?
- They're right here.
- Look, guys, I know
you've got a job to do-
- Ray-
- But this-
- This is family business.
Keep your fucking mouth shut.
- You are lying on a bed.
They got you tied up.
- Where the fuck is Jake?
- Downstairs.
- Get him up here.
- There's blood
seeping through the hood.
- I know, I can taste it.
- She's awake.
Jake didn't fucking hit her hard enough.
- I don't want any trouble.
Please, let me go.
I won't say anything.
- I thought she was out cold.
- Yeah, well, clearly not.
- Cut it out.
We ain't got time for that.
- I thought we could
have a little bit of fun.
Isn't that why we brought her here?
- Brought her here so she wouldn't squea
- Look, I'll tell you
what, let's all go and eat.
- Who died and made you boss, bitch?
- Jake, I said cut it out.
- Fellas, let's fucking eat.
- Jennifer, are you okay?
- Do I look okay?
I need to get this thing off of my face.
- Wish I could help.
Up a bit.
Yes, that's it.
Bingo.
Now for the ropes,
try slipping them under your legs.
- Lucky Candy is so flexible.
- Did you know she was a dancer?
She was only waitressing that
night to earn some money.
- Candy's career choices are
the least of my problems.
Adam, where the hell are we?
- Second floor of a Miami mansion.
- Well, I'll have to jump.
- Those guys are downstairs eating pizza
They'll see you.
You won't get far.
- Then she's my way out.
Doesn't anyone on this side
of the globe wear any clothes?
- Happy birthday, Jake, boy
- Well, seeing as it is my birthday,
surely I get first crack
on the broad upstairs,
and she's thrust up like a chicken
ready for plucking.
- You guys have gone too far.
- What does it matter to you?
You just jump on a plane
and fly back to Blighty.
- Yeah, well that's fine by me.
You guys are sick.
I want nothing to do with this.
- You're not going anywhere, old man.
- Really?
All over my new fucking floor.
- So that's our plan.
She has the drug, right?
Because she has to be
in a deep enough sleep.
- Before she took down these guys,
she came in here and she
took 200 grams of propofol,
so I reckon she must be
planning a nice long nap.
And if I know Jennifer,
even though she's in hiding,
she won't be able to
leave her new toy alone.
- If this technology has the
potential you claim it has-
- It does, far more than
even Jennifer recognizes.
- Well then, we don't want it falling
into the wrong hands, do we?
- And by that I assume you mean
anyone else's hands but yours.
Hey.
- My God, I'm glad I can't smell that.
Is it going to work?
- Give me some credit, Adam.
I do have an honors in applied chemistry
When the glove is filled, it will pop of
The water is the catalyst.
Okay, let's go.
- Wait, what about
the body you are in?
- Oh, crap.
Oh, less time than I thought.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Hey honey.
Where are you off to in such a hurry?
- I was just popping to the shops
before they close to buy you
something sexy for later,
my gorgeous love hunk.
- Who are you and what
have you done with my Lucy?
- Sorry?
- You're going shopping,
you'll need money.
My luscious Lucy always asks
her daddy bear for money.
Buy yourself something sexy.
- See you later, big man.
- That was too close.
- Did the girl gets away?
- Luscious Lucy, I think so,
but there's nothing
stopping her coming back.
- Open the fucking door.
- Okay, here we go.
- What's fucking going on in there?
Boys, get your fucking
asses up here, pronto.
Open the fucking door, bitch.
Fuck!
- Adam, Adam.
I need to stop.
I can't run anymore.
I'm so tired.
- I'm sorry, Jennifer,
but you can't stop now.
- Where are you?
- I'm here. I'm right next to you
Jennifer, you are concussed-
- Okay.
- Which is why
you can't see me.
- Okay.
I need to get her somewhere safe. (pants
I was trying to make Candy's life better
but I've just made it worse,
and now I don't even have you.
- Jennifer, I am always here for you.
And as for Candy, well,
she would've probably ended up
in the same situation
anyway or something similar.
- Candy didn't eavesdrop
on those guys, I did.
- True, but I
chose Candy for a reason.
She has a good heart,
but her life's been troubled
for a couple of years.
- So you thought if I could inhabit her,
I could change her life?
- Yes.
- What happens to Candy
when I'm in her body?
Does she know what's happened to her?
- No, not at all.
It's as if she's blacked out.
- That must be terrifying.
Okay, I need to get her somewhere safe
and find a way to explain
what's been going on.
- How are you going to do that?
- I don't...
I'll find a way, I have to.
I wish I could see you.
- I do not understand.
- I miss you.
- You mean you miss seeing me?
You'll see me again, Jennifer,
but if you do, it might be a sign
that you are pushing Candy's
brain a little too far
and she needs rest.
Come on, there's a place just up the roa
You are all booked in just like before.
This time tell the receptionist
you are under the name Paula Smith.
- Hi.
Uh, I like to-
- Hold it lady.
I don't want no trouble, okay?
- I have a booking under Paula Smith.
- Smith, huh?
How you gonna pay?
You ain't turning no tricks around here.
This is a respectable place.
Paula Smith, paid in advance.
Okay, lady.
Room 11, upstairs on the left.
- Thank you.
- This Jennifer hasn't
left anything of use behind.
- I did warn you, she's smart.
- And yet you don't know where she's gon
and I find that hard to believe.
- Well, believe what you like.
I have no more idea where she's than you
- Boyfriends?
- No.
- "Structure Of The Human Cells"
by Professor Redmond Connelly?
- Her father.
He's been dead for 20 years.
- And her mother?
- Died in childbirth.
I'm the nearest thing to family she has.
- Yet you're willing to betray her.
You better start coming up
with some answers, Professor.
You owe a lot of money.
- I know, I know.
Look, I may have one
last way to reach her.
- You better to start using it.
You're running out of options,
and I'm running out of time.
You've got till midday tomorrow.
Okay, we're done!
- Sue, it's Bill Hanson.
- That should just about do it.
I hope she understands.
- It's going to
be a lot to take in.
- I can see you.
I like seeing you.
- Remember, she's concussed
and needs to rest.
- You're right.
I need to get into bed now.
- Hmm.
- Adam, you can leave.
- Oh, um, certainly.
Good night, Jennifer.
- Good night.
- Hello. Who's this?
- It's Bill.
- How did you get this number?
It's an emergency line
for my patients only.
- Sue gave it to me. Don't blame her.
I told her you might be in danger.
- Well, that was true at least.
- Are you okay?
- Depends how you define okay
If surviving a kidnap attempt
on university property is okay,
then yeah, I guess I'm fine.
- That was a misunderstanding.
- Never mind.
Bill, I need you to
tell me what's going on.
- You just
misunderstood the situation.
I never sent those guys,
the government did.
They simply wanted to remind you
of the urgency on delivering
on Project Indigo Dawn.
I did try to warn you!
All I am asking
is that we meet up
and you let me explain.
- Fine. I'll be in touch.
Hello?
- It's been so long.
Do you not know me?
My name is-
- Candy, is that you?
Hang on, can you turn on your camera?
- Sorry, I, I don't know who you are,
but I found this letter.
- Oh, Candy, please don't cry.
I'm Jennifer.
I wrote the letter.
- Some really crazy stuff's been going o
I keep blacking out and,
and I think I'm going crazy.
- You're not losing your mind, Candy.
It's a long story.
I'll, I'll try to explain.
Are you alone?
- Yeah.
I should call my boyfriend-
- Johnny.
- Yeah, Johnny.
Are you his friend?
If you're friends with Johnny,
I don't wanna say nothing.
- No, no, no Candy.
Please don't hang up.
I'm nothing to do with Johnny.
You have to believe me.
The fact that I knew his name
is proof of what I'm gonna tell you.
Everything's gonna be okay, I promise.
I have a plan,
but you're gonna need to get on a plane.
Let me start from the beginning.
So I'm a scientist
and I found a way to hack
into people's dreams,
and I hacked into your dream, except-
- Are you sure she's going to call?
- She'll call and set up a rendezvous,
and when she does,
you'll get your machine.
Oh, check.
- You know what this means to me, Bill.
If I had the strength.
Let me remind you, Professor,
the clock is ticking for both of us.
If you let it get away this time,
there are no more chances for you.
You can't afford for this to go wrong
any more than I can.
- She'll call.
- She better, because if she doesn't,
I will end you.
- Adam.
- Everything's
been sorted for Candy,
just as you specified.
- Excellent.
I like her, even if I
didn't like being her.
Now, to secure our future,
the package is in reception.
What about the courier?
- He's already on his way now.
- Good.
Adam, I need you to promise me
that no matter what happens,
you won't come to my aid in here.
- If that's what you wish.
- Go.
- So, the courier
will deliver the remote link headset,
which will enable Bill to access
this fantasy forest at the same time
as I'm accessing it on the
main system back at the hotel.
- Are you sure that's safe?
We were keeping the room and I a secret.
- It's why I don't
want you to come to my aide.
It's just too dangerous
to meet him anywhere
unless I have full and total control.
Exposing the forest, the network,
I'm prepared to risk.
- I understand,
and I will of course do whatever you ask
- Bill can only
use the remote helmet once
and then it will self-destruct.
- Jennifer, where the hell are we?
- Hello, Bill.
From your perspective, this,
this is my dream.
- Your dream,
your original concept for
the Indigo Dawn Project.
- So you do know that my machine
is capable of doing more?
- Dreams, taking over bodies and minds.
I never doubted that you
were a genius, you know that.
I've always had faith in you.
- Stop saying that.
- But it's true.
- Then why betray me?
Why set me up?
- No, I never said-
- Stop lying to me, Bill.
Those guys don't work for the government
not the British government anyway.
No more excuses.
I bet you never
had a deal with them
in the first place.
Tell me, do you recognize this?
- I'm sorry?
- Look.
- You know what I always say,
John, keep your hat on
and watch out for diabolical villains.
- I remember.
Are you sure this is
what you wanted to do?
- No, not sure, but I don't
think I have any choice.
Goodbye.
It's been an experience.
- You remember.
- I loved those times.
You were my peace and inspiration,
my guiding star after Dad died.
I loved every moment with you.
- I've always seen you as the
child I never had, Jennifer.
Nothing's changed.
It's just that some things
are bigger than family.
- How can you say that?
- Oh, you are so much like your father.
He was a great man, superb scientist.
He, he was my best friend,
but he was also a damned idiot.
- What?
- Well, I guess it's about time you knew
The car accident, it
wasn't so much an accident.
- How do you mean?
He was on his way back
to the lab to see you.
- He was killed, murdered,
and I set him up.
I didn't think he'd die.
I thought that they would just scare him
- Why would you?
How could you do?
Who are they?
- They are the people in control.
We're just their pawns.
We have to dance to their
tune or we become dispensable,
and that's what happened to your father.
- You could have stopped them.
- Don't you think that's what I've been
consumed with all these years?
Why I drink, the guilt.
But you see, I can't go back.
I'm in too deep.
Don't make the same
mistakes your father did.
You see, he wouldn't sell his research
to the highest bidder.
Took the same moral
stance that you are now,
and he paid the ultimate price.
- What's happening to me?
- Shh.
Try not to speak.
We needed to find you,
and it was decided that I
would keep you busy in here,
and they would track you down out there.
Rookie mistake, Jennifer,
thinking a courier was safe.
- Why do I feel so bad?
- Oh, that, that's a
little addition of my own.
Think of it like a computer virus.
You see, this is goodbye Jennifer.
We won't meet again.
Despite everything that's happened,
think of me kindly sometimes.
I made a deal with the devil,
and that is something I'll
have to live or die with.
Please remember, I did
always have faith in you.
- This unit will self-destruct
Three, two, one.
Goodbye, Bill.
- How long till we get there, Dad?
I'm really excited.
- We've gotta find the
gate first yet, babe.
Keep up.
- Mate, I'm so knackered.
Couldn't even arrest an old lady
if she was pulled for a sandwich.
They've had me on here
seven nights in a row.
Bloody government cuts.
- Why don't you go and take a break now?
I'll get Alex to cover.
- All right, if you need me, mat
I'll be down in the CCTV room
getting some shut eye, yeah?
- British Ryanair Airways
announce the departure of the flight
marked flight 422 to Berlin.
Will passengers please precede
to the travel plaza four
for passports and immigration checks?
British Ryanair Airways flight 442.
- Come with me, please, miss.
- Why? What do I do?
What have I done?
- Candy, it's me, Adam.
- Adam.
You scared me.
Jennifer didn't tell
me you're a policeman.
- "I am all things to all men,
that I might by all means save some."
It's from the Bible, Corinthians 9.
Never mind, just keep walking.
- Here, thought you said
Steve was on a break.
- He is.
- What's he doing down there then?
- Steven!
- Go, go, go.
- Police, move aside, police.
- Move aside, police.
Excuse me, please.
Move aside, police.
- All right.
- Candy, go.
Jennifer's life is in danger, go.
- You all right, love, where you going?
- Excuse me, sir,
police business.
- Hey there, love.
Where you going?
- I need to
requisition your vehicle.
- Oh, fucking hell.
Sorry, mate.
My fucking cab!
- Not you two again.
- It's a pleasure to finally
meet you, Professor Connelly.
- I don't suppose you work
for the British government, do you?
- That's very perceptive of you.
I suggest you rest,
and when we get to our destination,
we will have a lovely long chat.
- Whoa, will you leave the case behind?
You won't be needing it.
Right, you're an American.
I take it you've used a gun before.
- That's a bit racist,
but yeah, sure.
Whoa. Ah.
You think it's gonna come to that?
- I hope not.
Are you clear on the plan?
- Yeah, uh, I wait for the signal
and then I creep in and I rescue Jennife
- But remember, once the alarm goes off,
you've both gotta to be
clear of the building.
- What about you?
- Don't worry about me.
Just make sure you and Jennifer get out.
- Okay.
Wait, Adam, I don't know the signal.
Adam!
No!
- Believe it or not, Professor Connelly.
Jennifer, can I call you that?
I don't want to hurt you.
Actually, I want us to work together.
- What?
Why would I wanna work for you?
Who even are you?
- I assume you've heard of Lei Tech.
- Of course. Who hasn't?
- I am Wang Lei, the founder and owner.
This is one of our disused
tech distribution centers.
I have armed men guarding every door,
patrolling the maze of corridors.
And should anyone get past them,
then it's rather unlikely
they will not be spotted
by my rather aggressive security system.
Nobody will disturb us here.
Jennifer, do you have
any idea of the enormity
of your invention?
- Of course I do.
- I'm not sure you do.
This machine has so many possibilities
beyond its clinical application.
- You said you had an offer for me.
- Did you know that Lei Tech
has a subsidiary laboratory division?
My scientists have been perfecting
cloning technology.
Quite beautiful, don't you think?
- That's sick.
Human cloning is illegal.
- I didn't think you were
that naive, Jennifer.
My scientists have created
a youthful replica of
me, perfect in every way.
But without a soul, it's worthless.
- This machine is designed to cure peopl
not make them immortal.
- I may be the first to
go through this procedure,
but after that-
- What?
- We could preserve the genius
of all scientists for eternity,
we could control the minds
and actions of world leaders.
- So that's what you
want, world domination.
That's insane!
- Do you want to work
with me or against me?
I, I don't have time
for a long discussion.
Let me be honest with you,
I am dying, I have cancer.
I can just take this machine
and get Bill to operate it.
I'd rather have you.
Come on, what do you say?
What the?
Don't just stand there, do something.
You morons, secure at the place now.
- Right, everyone mobilized.
Any intruders, I want them fucking dead.
- Wang Lei, Wang Lei, I see you.
- Who are you?
You've made a mistake coming here.
Show me yourself.
You are up against 20 armed men,
all trained to kill.
This place is fitted
with every security device known to man.
You'll never penetrate it.
There are weapons
pointing in every corner.
You're a dead man.
Front door, what the hell's happening?
- Sir, he's inside already.
- I wouldn't if I were you, sir.
- Let him go
and we'll let you go.
- System override.
Hello, Adam.
All security under your control.
Realigning targets.
- Move it, you.
You've got to protect me
and the pods at all cost!
- Hide.
- Let's play.
- It's a pleasure to
meet you in the flesh at last.
- Candy.
- Yeah, we're here to get you out.
- We?
So that is Adam.
- Stop right there.
You're making a big mistake, Jennifer.
Join me and I will protect
you with your equipment.
Blue, Blue, she's trying to get away.
Stop her!
- For God's sake, open your eyes.
- Blue! Damn it.
- We gotta get out of here, now!
Come on!
- Jennifer!
Please. Oh, god.
- We've got him.
- Huh? Fair cop, gentlemen.
You got me.
- Guns.
- Wait, wait, we have to go back for Ada
- No, the alarm on your phone.
Adam asked you to set it, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah,
then it's already too late.
- What?
- Seems to be just me and you now, boy.
Well, aren't you man enough
to come out and face me?
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
Oh yeah, and you know I've
got one of these, don't ya?
- What the fuck?
- You can't do this to me.
Do you know who I am?
Ah!
- Bye, Sue.
- There you go.
- Bye.
- Hey, Candy.
You okay?
- Sure.
Ooh, is that it?
It's so much smaller than it was before.
Did you check it's working?
- I didn't wanna risk the battery power,
but I think so.
- You sure you're not just scared
of some chance encounter
with a dashing digital heart drop?
- If Adam still exists
and we didn't banish him to binary heave
then why hasn't he contacted me?
- Well.
Well, there's only one way to find out.
Besides, it's the only way
you're gonna get the professors, so.
- Bill came in?
- Sure did.
Not looking so good,
but, uh, definitely him.
- So much for the police
not being able to find him.
Hiding in plain sight.
Did you slip him a mickey?
- Check for yourself.
Extra shot of vanilla in
his espresso ristretto,
except it wasn't exactly vanilla.
- Candy, you're a star.
See, I told you our plan was foolproof.
You working in his favorite coffee house
eventually he'd walk right into our trap
You, go girl.
Please, Candy.
Someone has to go in
and I just can't do it.
I owe you.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
This is weird.
Jennifer, it's me.
Jennifer, it's me.
Wow. Whoa!
- Frank.
- What the fuck?
- Ladies and gentlemen,
I am the renowned Oxbridge
Professor William Hanson.
- What the fuck are you doing?
- Can you direct me to
the nearest constabulary?
- Hey, stop that.
- Here, are you Mary Poppins?
Hello, hello, hello.
- Don't you fucking
touch my wife, you nut.
- Excuse me.
- Come on.
- What the?
- Big step back please, madam.
Fellas, give some space.
- Can you call Charlotte
and tell her it's code red?
- It's all right, sir.
- The Dean mustn't find out.
- Come on, let's go outside, sir.
- The Dean.
Jennifer.
I'm sorry.
- Can we just get him out of here, pleas
- So, what is it?
I thought that's what you wanted.
- I guess.
It's still hard though.
He meant a lot to me once.
- Yeah.
But remember, Batman was responsible
for your father's death.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
And whatever he did to me,
nothing can forgive that.
- Ooh, I almost forgot,
I have some news too.
- Oh my God.
Candy, I'm so sorry.
I've been so caught up in my own world.
- Oh, it's okay, it's okay.
I mean, without all that's happened,
I would still be waitressing
in some sleazy strip joint
and being beaten up by that
asshole Johnny every day.
I have a lot to thank you for.
But this is goodbye.
- What?
I don't understand.
- I got a job offer
as a dancer in New York.
It's, it's off Broadway,
but you know, it's, it's a start.
It's what I've always wanted to do.
I'm leaving tonight.
- Oh my God.
Candy.
- Yeah.
- I'm so happy for you.
I'm gonna miss you.
- Oh, I'm gonna miss you too.
First, there's someone I want you to mee
He called me a few weeks ago.
- Candy.
- So I'm just gonna let you
two get to know each other.
And yeah.
Oh!
See you, babe.
Be in touch, yeah.
And remember, don't do
anything I wouldn't do.
Mm.
- Please, sit down.
- Thank you.
Candy thought it would
be best if we met here.
- I dunno what she told you,
but I'm not really looking
for anything right now.
- Uh, sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
By here, I meant the real world.
- Adam?
I thought I'd never see you again.
- I was worried you'd blame me
for not rescuing you myself
and saving your equipment.
- But you did save me.
I even got Bill.
- Yes but I could have helped with that.
- I know, but I needed to end this mysel
This whole experience has shown me that
Indigo Dawn is too dangerous
for any one person,
any one government to own.
These past few months,
I've agonized over it,
about whether I should destroy it.
- Oh, I see.
- But there is only one
reason that I didn't
because I'd never see you again.
- Jennifer, what if I told
you there was a third option,
an even better idea?
Come on, I'll tell you on the way home.
- Sue.
Sue.
- Hello?
Is someone there?
Oh, Dan, what are you doing there?
You gave me such a fright.
It's the middle of the night.
- Sorry, Sue, I'm in court in the mornin
Just checking I've got it all in order.
We are up before old Judge Bull.
You know what he's like.
- Oh yeah.
I should, I was his
junior for long enough.
Well, okay.
Good luck.
Dan?
Okay.
- It's over, Sue.
Wake up.
It's me, Jennifer.
Come back to me now.
Just open your eyes.
Three.
Two.
One.
Hello, Sue.
Take your time.
You may feel a little
disoriented at first.
That's completely normal.
Do you remember why you're here?
- Yes, you, um, you hypnotized me
so I could relive my dream,
my, my nightmare.
- So I could experience it with you.
You gave me a vivid insight
into what's been going on
in that brain of yours.
You have an irrational
fear of being chased.
It's not uncommon in high
flyers like yourself.
We even have a name for it, diokophobia.
You told me you'd recently
lost a high-profile case,
a murder, wasn't it?
That must have knocked your confidence,
left you feeling threatened, overwhelmed
Am I right?
- Professor Hanson, um,
I'm afraid Professor Connelly
is still in a session with
Ms. Hamilton right now.
- Yes.
Well, that's all right, Peter.
I'll wait.
- Oh, I can't tell you
what a relief this is.
Perhaps I'll get a decent
night's sleep at last.
- Perhaps, but we have a way to go yet.
I'll see you next week.
- Yeah.
- Take it easy,
and you have my emergency
number if you need it.
- Thank you.
Let's hope I don't.
- Oh, Bill.
- Sue.
- Oh, how nice to see you.
- And you.
- Do you know, I
really have to thank you
for introducing me to Jennifer.
She is a miracle worker.
- Isn't she just?
I'm so glad I persuaded her to come over
our brilliant young professor
from across the pond.
- A good decision all round.
- Well, I-
- I was-
- I, I have to
get back to chambers.
It, it's nice to see you.
- And you.
- Erm, bye, Jennifer.
Bye, Pete.
Bye, Bill.
- Bye, Sue.
- Pete, book in Ms. Hamilton
for the same time next week.
Oh, and I've given her
my emergency number.
- Sure.
Enjoy your lunch, guys.
- So, how is Ms. Hamilton KC?
I've known her since we were at Oxford.
Do you know, she was the youngest woman
in her year to take silk?
- Take silk?
- Yes.
- So British.
She is an interesting case though.
You know I can't discuss
individual patients,
but have you ever heard of diokophobia?
- No.
- I saw a lot of it when
I was an intern in Denver.
Highflyers, especially women
threatened by younger colleagues.
- And I bet you wish
you could use, you know,
Project Indigo Dawn on her.
- So that's what this is about.
I told you when I came over,
Indigo Dawn is no ordinary project.
Get it right and it's world changing.
Get it wrong and it doesn't
bear thinking about.
- I understand, Jennifer,
but you need to know
that the powers that be
are losing patience.
You're three months overdue
already, and as your sponsor,
I am getting it in the
neck from the government.
Look, I just need to
give them some answers.
- Do they even know what it
is that I'm trying to achieve?
This could help cure all
kinds of clinical conditions,
but get it wrong and I
could end up lobotomizing
anyone who came near it.
How would your government explain that?
- Look, I have protected you,
made it possible for you to work,
not be interrupted by countless meetings
and endless government watch bodies,
but now the funding
could stop at any moment.
Fail at this and your credibility
within the scientific community
will be shot to pieces.
- Look, I'm close, okay?
There's just one final
hurdle that's got me stumped.
- Jennifer, I have every faith in you.
You are like a daughter to me.
The last thing your father
said to me before he died was,
"Promise to look out for my little girl.
I'll never break that promise.
- I know.
You've always been there for me.
- And I always will be.
I owe it to your dad.
See, when I first arrived in America,
I was a wet-behind-the-ears graduate
who thought he was God's gift to science
Oh, but he put me right.
Your dad was the cleverest man I ever me
and the kindest.
- I wish I remembered him better.
I was so young when the accident happene
- That was the worst night of my life.
He was driving back to
the lab to help me out,
just typical of him.
But he never turned up.
I got to the hospital as fast as I could
but his injuries were too severe, I-
- It was a long time ago
and it's not your fault.
- Do you know why I do this?
Same reason you do.
When you immerse yourself in your work
or take up yet another martial art
to make sure you are
too busy to socialize.
You see, it's a vain attempt
to protect ourselves from
everything and everyone.
But you're your father's
daughter all right.
You always thought outside the box,
that's why I stuck my neck out
for you with our government.
- But now you think that I can't do it?
- I'm just saying you do
sometimes miss the obvious.
- What do you mean?
- Well, I've seen it before.
Extraordinary minds locked
up in laboratories 24/7,
so obsessed with their projects
that they become blinkered.
- And you think that's happened to me?
- Perhaps.
Jennifer, I don't want to sound too hars
but in the time you've been here,
your social life has been zero.
- Oh, Bill, I don't have
time for a social life.
- Well, then it's time you made some.
It may help you get
over that final hurdle.
Jennifer, you are not just clever,
you are a beautiful young woman too.
- And you think I need a boyfriend,
to what, make me happy,
and somehow that'll unlock
the key to Indigo Dawn.
- No, I'm simply suggesting
you get out there in the
real world, meet people.
It may even help you come at
it from this new perspective.
- You might be right.
I have lived and breathed
this project for two years.
Actually, Pete has tried to
set me up with a friend of his,
some guy named Jason.
- Well, there you go then.
A little distraction is never a bad thin
- Adam, play something
fun from my playlist.
- Playing track 23
from your personal playlist.
- No, I think he stood me up.
Either that or he took one look and left
Actually, you know
what, I'm just gonna go.
Why would I stay, Pete?
Pete, I think he's here.
You never said he was good looking.
Okay, Pete, I got it.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye.
Jason?
- Jenny?
- Actually, this is Jennifer.
Jennifer Connelly.
- Ah, what, like the actress?
- No, like the scientist.
- Your bill.
- What, you leaving already?
- Oh, you were late and I thought-
- Right, fuck that.
Love, sort us out a couple
of Jagerbombs, will you?
- Sure, Jason.
- Do you know her?
- Who, her?
Nah, nah, nah.
I get recognized a lot, you know, yeah.
I like the schoolteacher look, yeah.
Sexy.
- Um, I'm a professor
of neural science at the university.
And what is it you do to get recognized?
Er, are you a painter?
- What, like, like slap of magnolia
on old ladies' walls or something?
- Uh, no, um, by painter I meant artist.
You know the paint
stained jeans, the whole-
- Oh, you like this stuff, huh?
These are a designer original, love.
$200 a pop, yeah.
You know, you ain't too
bad looking yourself.
Pete tells me how you don't get out much
- Did he?
- Ah, nice one, girl, yeah.
Get that down you, girl.
It's gonna be a mad one.
Cheers, people.
Wahay!
- So what is it you do?
- This and that, really.
Anything to earn a bob or two.
I mean like wearing these jeans, you kno
- You get paid to wear those?
- Yeah, I get loads of free stuff.
Wear it a few times,
post a few pics, sell it on.
Bish, bash, bosh, nice bit of dosh.
You know how it works.
- No, not really.
- Jason, um, can we have a selfie?
- Yeah, of course, guys.
Come on. Chill out, sit down.
- I'll take it.
Do you mind?
- Jump there.
There you go, take a seat.
Squeeze in, love, you're all right.
No problem, girls, anytime, anytime.
- Perfect.
- Nice.
- Got it.
- I'll see you later, yeah?
- Um, I'm gonna go.
Goodbye Jason.
I won't say it's been a pleasure.
- Your loss, love.
Your loss.
What's happening, girls?
One seat for free, one on my knee.
- Adam, lights.
Adam, compose email to Pete.
Subject, "Never again."
- Recording email.
"Never again."
- "Pete, I value you as a work colleague
but that guy was gross.
They say opposites attract,
but there is no..."
Huh?
Oh.
That's it, opposites.
Uh, Adam, delete email.
Don't send.
- Email deleted.
- How did I not see it?
Opposites attract.
Adam, run Indigo Dawn program 546.
- Project Indigo Dawn activated.
- Okay, this is it.
Now or never.
- Hello, Ms. Connelly.
Welcome.
- Who is that?
Where am I?
- You should know, Ms. Connelly,
you invented this location.
- Did I?
I don't think I did.
Okay, well, if you can't
tell me where I am,
at least tell me who you are.
- You invented me too.
- Really?
You sound like my virtual assistant,
but hell, this is way too weird.
I invented a way to watch
people's dreams, to study them.
So this is a dream?
- Correct.
- Okay, I get it now.
- And incorrect.
This is more like the
place between dreams.
- Geez.
Uh, okay, well, can I at least
stop talking into a void?
- Define parameters
for interaction.
- Parameters for, oh,
how I want you to look.
Uh, like a guy, I guess.
You sound like a guy.
Or maybe-
- Parameters accepted.
- Hang on, uh, I didn't choose anything.
- Not required.
Project Indigo Dawn
accessed your subconscious.
- Jason.
Oh my, no!
Oh my God.
Oh my God, no.
No, no, no, no, no.
Absolutely not you.
- I do not understand, Ms. Connelly.
You liked him.
- Just put some clothes on.
What is this?
Look, there may have been some
fleeting carnal attraction,
but I'd never be interested in a guy
who has the morals of a running donkey
and the arrogance of a peacock.
Not to mention your, his dress sense.
- I see.
Maybe this is more to
your taste, miss Connelly.
And as far as my morals go, without you,
I have no personality,
except the one you programmed me with.
- Fine. You'll do for now.
So, how does this work?
- As the primary user,
this is where you input your desires
and make them a reality.
- My desires?
- Describe to me, what
is Project Indigo Dawn?
- I wanna find cures by accessing
people's subconscious
through their dreams.
I wanna reveal how individuals
function beneath the surface.
I wanna explore the mind
from a unique perspective.
- Then let's begin.
- He came last week and,
wow, he gave me the biggest
tip that I've ever had.
You okay?
You listening to me?
- Where am I?
- Jeez, Candy, you're
starting to worry me now.
If you've forgotten that
you're in this dive,
you need to go home.
- No, uh, wait, I, I'm fine.
- I'll go tell Mike you need to go home.
- Mike.
Uh, no.
I'm fine, honestly, I'm all right.
- Listen, you pregnant?
I mean, it's none of my business,
but things could get pretty awkward
between you and Johnny
at the moment, you know?
- Johnny?
Pregnant?
No, of course not.
I, I just felt a little dizzy, that's al
- If you say so, sweetie.
Whatever, you better go,
otherwise Mike's gonna fire your ass.
- Adam, what the hell?
Where am I?
- You're in Florida, USA,
and you are for the next
few minutes at least Candy,
a cocktail waitress in
Cheetah's Strip Club.
- I am?
- Now, I suggest you get out ther
and experience a little
of life in her shoes.
After all, that is what you requested.
- Good evening, Candy.
It's a full house tonight.
- Hey, Candy.
Candy?
What about a little ass over here now?
- Uh, sorry, Mike.
- Four shots for booth 21.
- Geez, Candy, 21.
VIP area.
By the johns.
Hey, ain't you forgetting something?
Tip jar.
- Oh.
- What's up with you tonight, kid?
- So in the morning,
I say we take him out.
God damn snitch.
Question is how.
His place is like Fort fucking Knox.
- I say we go in packing enough heat
to whack Al-Qaeda.
Any motherfuckers gets in our way,
we ice them too.
- Far be it for me to
interfere with family business.
- Don't, Ray.
This fucker's got it coming to him.
Besides, I don't need to hear
any of your British sensibility right no
- So, we all agreed?
- Sure.
We pop Frankie de Franzo
and we fry anybody who gets in our way.
- You stupid bitch.
Apologies, fellas.
Candy, fetch these
gentlemen another drink-
- Yeah.
- On the house.
- Oh my God.
- Sebastian, can I call you back?
Something's come up.
- It works, Bill!
I can hardly believe it, but it works.
- Adam, pause video.
- Affirmative.
- This is fantastic.
I'm so proud of you.
- It all happened after
my date last night.
You were right.
- Yes, well, I can see
you didn't make it home.
- Oh my God, nothing like that.
Oh, he is the opposite of my kind of guy
- You've lost me.
- Opposites attract.
Look at this.
I just reversed the numbers
from positive to negative
and that opened the
door to the hippocampus.
- It's brilliant, just brilliant.
Oh, one question,
why are you dreaming about
gangsters and murder plots?
- I have no idea.
- Hey Bill, it's me.
If you are hearing this,
it may be the most surreal
message you'll ever receive.
My God, that is extraordinary.
It's remarkable. It's so real.
You have done so much more than
just tapping into the dream.
- You think so? Thanks, Bill.
- Listen, I have, yeah,
I've got a faculty meeting.
I'll be back soon.
- But Bill, don't you wanna watch the-
- Later.
It's great work, Jennifer,
truly great work.
Yes.
- William?
William!
William, that Wang Lei chappy
has called three times now.
- Hey Bill, it's me.
If you're hearing this,
it may be the most surreal message
you'll ever receive, but it
will prove without a doubt
that your theory is correct.
- Charlotte.
Charlotte! Code red.
Edgar, it's Bill Hanson.
Oh, we need to talk.
- Good news?
- Maybe.
- Bill, thanks for waiting.
Sorry, old boy, no can do.
- What?
But the video of the voice
message I sent myself,
it proves its capabilities beyond doubt.
- No, doesn't prove anything.
I told you two years ago
that this wasn't something
my department would sanction
and it still isn't.
And you're still the same Bill.
You were the same at university.
You listen but you don't hear.
I represent this department,
and this department
represents the government.
If I submit something to the PM,
it needs to be based on
more than an unfulfilled
professor's recommendation
and a fucking USB stick.
- Now listen, Edgar,
I have bankrolled this experiment
because I was certain that you would see
what she has to offer.
- Oh, you bankrolled it, did you?
Well, I admire your confidence
that it is something my
department would buy.
But you know me, Bill, I'm a skeptic.
I need credible evidence,
and this isn't it.
- Jesus Christ, Edgar,
do you know how much I've sacrificed
to get the project this far?
Do you have any idea how much effort
Jennifer and her team have put in?
This is revolution.
Oh my God,
you still haven't forgiven me, have you?
Still haven't got over the fact
that I was better than you.
Better grades, better degree,
and yes, a bloody better person.
- Getting a bit old for
this, aren't you, Bill?
Isn't that chip on your
shoulder getting a bit heavy?
Still posing as a maverick at your age?
Well, it isn't my fault that
you're still an outsider,
and it's not my fault
that you're not one of us.
I'll be straight with you, Bill,
you've been taken in by a
plausible, attractive young woman.
An old man made to look very foolish.
Happens to the best of us.
Still, Bill, thanks for your time.
Must go, things to do.
- William, I have known you long enough
to know when you are in the shit,
and as I haven't heard from you
since you're meeting with Edgar,
I can only assume that it didn't go well
So as your assistant, no, as your friend
I need to know what's going on.
That Mr. Lei has been calling
every hour on the hour.
He's very persistent.
- Let's just take her now, shall we?
- No.
- He also said something
about owing him money,
a lot of money, and how you
could avoid any unpleasantness.
Mr. Lei is not a pleasant man.
He also mentioned Professor Connelly.
Now this has something to
do with her, doesn't it?
Do you know what, in my opinion,
you are way too soft on that young woman
Call me as soon as you get this message.
I do not like being, uh, what's the word
Ghosted. Thank you.
Bill, I think, I'm not sure,
but I think I've just been
given a message for you.
Look, I'll do whatever I can to help you
but I'm not getting killed for it,
so just call me as soon as
you get this message, okay?
Bye.
- Morning, Professor.
Look, um, I just wanted to
say sorry again about Jason.
- Forget it, Pete.
Actually, you did me a favor.
- Really, but I thought that-
- Oh, oh, no, he was a jerk,
but listen to this.
Adam?
- Hello, Ms.
Connelly, my old friend.
Welcome.
- What's up with the virtual assistant?
- I merged the DPPs,
uh, the digital personality patterns.
I found a way to align both Adams,
the virtual assistant and
the one in Indigo Dawn.
- Wait, you mean the project
that's so top secret,
you're not allowed to talk
about, not even to me.
- Yes. Right, uh.
Thank you for the coffee.
Goodbye Pete.
That was dumb.
Adam, how do you feel?
- How do I feel?
- Yeah.
Uh, what I mean is,
what's it like interacting
freely through the speaker?
- I'm not sure.
Hey, I am now online too.
- Yeah, I
thought it would be easier
than you asking me lots of questions.
- Why is that important?
- Soon the government are
gonna want a full demo.
My life's work is on the line.
Everything has to be perfect.
- Ms. Connelly, I
do not think you realize
quite what you have achieved,
the help you could bring to humanity,
the reach that help could stretch.
In my opinion, mankind will
always be in your debt.
- I've never thought about it like that.
Thanks, Adam.
- You're quite
welcome, Ms. Connelly.
- From now on, you can call me Jennifer.
- Okay, Jennifer.
- Ready?
- Affirmative.
Project Indigo Dawn activated.
- Keep coming back when they see my tits
and for a measly $15.
The guy's a sleaze ball.
I'm telling you.
- He does know you're just a waitress.
- Yeah.
- I bet you'd put him right.
Night, see you tomorrow.
- Night.
- Night.
Night, Bella. Night, Annie.
- Hey, Candy, is Johnny
picking you up tonight?
- Johnny?
Oh, er, no, no, not tonight.
Hey, you haven't seen a guy
in a brightly colored suit, have you?
- What are you
talking about, Candy?
- They cannot see me, Jennifer.
- Oh, it's nothing, I guess.
Er, it's just been a rough night.
- Boy.
- Come on,
you've been acting weird all night.
- Jackpot.
- Yeah, there was
that big scene outside the VIP area.
- It's nothing, I promise.
You don't have to worry
about me, I'm fine.
- So there's nobody picking you up?
No Johnny and no guy in a loud suit?
- Something doesn't seem
right here, Jennifer.
I think you should leave.
- So it seems.
Hey, er, you know what?
I'm just gonna head home.
I'm really tired.
- If only it was that easy,
Miss Candy Anne Evans.
- What, I don't, what?
- You really should have
known better, Candy.
- Go, get off.
No, hey.
You're the guys from booth 21.
- Fuck!
I told you she' be able to ID us.
- Get off me.
- Told you these
masks were a stupid idea.
- Ow!
- Hand me the fucking camera.
- Hey, Jake, we did what you asked.
Did I do good?
- Dumb, bitch, don't
tell her my fucking name.
- Oops.
- Come on, get her in the van.
- No, Adam, Adam, help!
Help me!
- You're heavy.
- No! Help!
- Well, you gonna do something?
- We pay these bitches off,
and let's get the fuck outta here.
- So you call yourself a friend.
Enjoy your blunt money.
- And what about me?
- I'll
sort you out. Let's go.
- Adam?
Adam!
I know you're here.
Adam, what the hell?
- Jennifer.
- Don't Jennifer me.
- What's going on?
Those guys.
This isn't a dream, is it?
It's way too real.
- Remember I told you that this inventio
can be whatever you want it to be.
- So?
I wanna find cures by
accessing people's subconscious
through their dreams.
I wanna reveal how individuals function
beneath the surface.
I wanna explore the mind
from a unique perspective.
- I let you walk in her shoes, Jennifer,
if only for a moment.
- You let me?
Who's running this show?
Christ, that poor girl is in real danger
What have I done?
Adam, I need to figure out how this work
the rules, the do's, the don'ts.
A young woman's life is on the line
and we don't have a lot of time.
- Certainly.
If speed is of the essence.
- Oh my God,
what are we doing here?
- You wanted to know how this works.
I had to find two people
in close proximity to each other.
- And you thought inhabiting a trick
and a john was the best way?
- I needed them to be asleep,
and the surge of endorphins
released during the act of-
- Spare me the details.
It didn't take long for
your prefrontal cortex
to go there, did it?
My mistake, I should
have made you a woman.
- This scenario seemed the obvious choic
- I get it, okay?
- Take a look at yourself.
Move your body, body, body, body, girl
Move your body, body, body, body, girl
- How about warning me
where we're going in future?
- Certainly.
Jennifer, it's like this,
when you're connected to Indigo Dawn,
your consciousness can
access my environment.
From there, I can let you
inhabit just about anyone.
- So it seems.
- Providing their brain patterns
are on a low wavelength,
preferably when they are asleep.
- But Candy was never asleep.
- Candy is an interesting case.
Her mind wonders, she's a daydreamer.
My theory is that makes her susceptible,
like epileptics, snoozers, drunks even.
They could all be ripe for inhabiting.
- Can we just get out of here?
- Certainly.
- So basically, is there a time limit
for how long I can inhabit somebody?
- In theory, no.
You will most probably wake when they do
or unless something else wakes you.
When Candy got hit over
the head, for instance,
the shock was enough to bring you back.
- Even though she was knocked out.
- We've still got a lot to discover.
But you won't be doing this alone.
When you are inhabiting,
I can appear to you, but remember,
I can't interact with
anything or anyone except you.
- Unless you inhabit a body too.
- Correct, but I have
different limitations to you.
I am artificial and I am already using
billions of megabytes
just to appear for you.
My host has to be in a non-REM stage fou
the deepest stage of sleep.
- Hence why the brothel was so ideal.
- Exactly.
- Okay, I need to find out
what's happening with Candy.
If she's unconscious, maybe I can go bac
- Unfortunately, Candy is
wide awake and terrified.
Her adrenaline levels are
spiking off the scale.
You are also going to wake up soon too.
And before you do, there is
something else you need to know.
It concerns Professor Hanson.
Sit with me.
When he was in Indigo Dawn,
he rang his own phone from the phone box
- What?
- Take a look for yourself.
- Hey Bill, it's me.
If you're hearing this,
it may be the most surreal
message you'll ever receive,
but it will prove without a doubt
that your theory is correct.
- Damn, I think I need
to get a lot more sleep.
- Hi guys.
Uh, Candy here,
supporting a, uh, rather
fetching black eye.
Um, so I know some of you have expressed
some concern about, you know,
where I've been or how I got this,
and honestly it was just a stupid mistak
You know, I simply slipped and I fell,
um, hitting my eye on the door handle.
Uh, so, where as I, I love
you all for your concern,
um, it's just me being clumsy,
as always.
And, and if you see Johnny,
just give him a break
because he, it honestly
had nothing to do with him.
Okay, well, love you all.
Kiss kiss.
- Professor Connelly, how may I help you
- I need to see Bill at once.
- That won't be possible.
- He'll wanna see me.
This is urgent.
- The Professor didn't
come in this morning,
which is most unusual
'cause he's got a faculty meeting.
- Geez, how many faculty
meetings does he have?
He rushed off yesterday to get to one.
- Yesterday, oh, no, I
think you're mistaken.
Faculty meetings are every
Tuesday at 11 o'clock.
The Dean is strangely
particular about that.
But William not being here
is not the only strange
thing to happen today,
amongst other things I was-
- Okay, well, ask him to call me urgentl
Actually, there is something
I need from his office.
- Bloody woman!
- Excuse me, we're looking for Professor
- Professor William Hanson is
not available at the moment.
- But we ain't looking for him,
we're looking for her.
- Professor Jennifer Connelly.
- I haven't seen her all day.
- That's strange 'cause we
just saw her come in here.
Pretty sure she's in that room.
- I don't know
what you're looking for,
but I can assure you,
Professor Connelly is not in that room.
- Can we go in, please?
- No, no.
I don't know who you are or what you wan
- Well, uh-
- But I can't let you
go wandering into his office
without seeing something official first.
- This is crazy.
We're not asking you, we're telling you
to get outta way now.
- Come on, move aside.
- Now, be polite and say please.
- You what?
Can you believe this fucking woman?
I've had enough of this.
Get outta the way!
- She's gone out the window.
- Come on, we'll get her outside.
You go that way, I'll go this.
- Get off me! Get off!
- I don't wanna hurt you.
Stop resisting.
We just wanna talk.
- Okay, okay.
- We just wanna talk.
- Oh, no.
- Fuck me, Georgie boy.
Come on, mate, what's the matter with yo
Just been done by a bird.
Get up, pussy.
Act like a pair of curtains,
pull yourself together,
and fucking let's go to work.
And you, where'd you think you're going?
Fucking hell, George.
What was all that about?
You squaring up to me?
Hey, George?
Come on then.
You want it?
You're gonna get it. Ah!
- We've got him tied up now.
Put a timer on your phone,
30 minutes should do it.
- Bill?
- Sue.
- We had a lunch date.
- Oh my god, I am sorry.
A faculty meeting overran.
I should have called.
- Yeah, yeah, whatever.
- Look, I am so sorry.
I, well, you look nice.
- Bye, Bill.
- Shall I call to rearrange?
- I'll think about it.
I mean, it depends what I'm doing.
Might be washing my hair.
- If they found me at Bill's office,
they'll definitely find me here.
Whoever they are.
We're gonna have to pack everything up.
- And quickly.
- Are you sure
I can unplug the CPU?
- I should be fine.
I'm just in the system,
I'm not the system.
- You know, we're technically stealing
government property.
- And you got a better idea?
Look, Jennifer, I understand
this is your career,
your invention, but I
only exist because of you.
Then there's the issue of Candy.
- Candy, yeah, of course.
Uh, we better get a move on.
Okay, let's go.
- Cable ties, quick.
See you on the other side.
- The fuck?
Hey, get back here!
Come back!
Get back here!
- Uh, I have a room booked.
- What name is it in, please?
- Bligh, Amanda Bligh.
- Well, here's your room key.
Okay, well, breakfast
is served from seven.
- About time.
Where have you been?
No one could find you
and I was about to call the police.
- No, don't do that.
I've got it all under
control, just trust me.
- Oh, yes, so under control,
you had to sneak in the back door.
What about Jennifer?
- Don't worry about Jennifer.
Just make yourself scarce.
Mr. Lei is on his way over
and I don't wanna be worrying
about you when I meet him.
- But-
- No buts.
Just get yourself home, okay?
- I don't know what
you've got yourself into,
William, but you take care.
- Charlotte.
- Come on, guys, let's go.
- I am very disappointed, Professor.
I thought you said you
could handle the situation.
- Handle it, handle it.
God damn it, Lee.
If it was left to me, I would have,
but no, you had to send
in these two buffoons.
- Bill, be careful.
Remember who you're talking to.
- All I'm saying is I could
have brought her in quietly.
You can't underestimate her.
- As I'm finding out.
So, what do we do now?
- First we have to find
out where she's gone.
- Have they checked the CCTV?
- It's been disabled across the campus.
No coincidence, I suspect.
As I said, she shouldn't
be underestimated.
- I'm the doorman
in these here parts.
My rules, my ways.
- Adam?
- Jennifer, how was the hotel?
Did you use the propofol
that you borrowed from the Professor?
- No need.
By the time I'd hauled everything upstai
and wired it all up, I was wiped.
What about you?
Have you just been watching the TV?
- Hmm, not exactly.
I was keeping an eye on Candy
and reading "Moby Dick,"
learning how to make a souffle.
Just generally trying
to become more human,
as well as checking out your Professor.
- Bill?
- Hmm.
Did you know he was a heavy gambler?
- Bill, gambling?
- And I'm not talking about losing
a couple of thousand either.
He's a high roller and he's
up to his neck in debt.
- Really? That surprises me.
I knew about his drinking problem,
but this is something else.
Hopefully nothing.
- Or everything.
- Okay, uh, what about Candy?
Is she okay?
- Mm, kind of.
Wherever she is doesn't have CCTV.
I've been monitoring her brain patterns
and her anxiety levels
are through the roof.
Fortunately for her and
you, she's finally asleep.
- Great. Okay, well send me back in.
- You got it, partner.
Yee-haw!
- And then we
gotta make the hit tomorrow.
- Maybe, but what about the girl?
Clever Jake worked her over pretty good.
- It's okay, Jennifer, stay very quiet.
- Carmine,
how much does she know?
- They're right here.
- Look, guys, I know
you've got a job to do-
- Ray-
- But this-
- This is family business.
Keep your fucking mouth shut.
- You are lying on a bed.
They got you tied up.
- Where the fuck is Jake?
- Downstairs.
- Get him up here.
- There's blood
seeping through the hood.
- I know, I can taste it.
- She's awake.
Jake didn't fucking hit her hard enough.
- I don't want any trouble.
Please, let me go.
I won't say anything.
- I thought she was out cold.
- Yeah, well, clearly not.
- Cut it out.
We ain't got time for that.
- I thought we could
have a little bit of fun.
Isn't that why we brought her here?
- Brought her here so she wouldn't squea
- Look, I'll tell you
what, let's all go and eat.
- Who died and made you boss, bitch?
- Jake, I said cut it out.
- Fellas, let's fucking eat.
- Jennifer, are you okay?
- Do I look okay?
I need to get this thing off of my face.
- Wish I could help.
Up a bit.
Yes, that's it.
Bingo.
Now for the ropes,
try slipping them under your legs.
- Lucky Candy is so flexible.
- Did you know she was a dancer?
She was only waitressing that
night to earn some money.
- Candy's career choices are
the least of my problems.
Adam, where the hell are we?
- Second floor of a Miami mansion.
- Well, I'll have to jump.
- Those guys are downstairs eating pizza
They'll see you.
You won't get far.
- Then she's my way out.
Doesn't anyone on this side
of the globe wear any clothes?
- Happy birthday, Jake, boy
- Well, seeing as it is my birthday,
surely I get first crack
on the broad upstairs,
and she's thrust up like a chicken
ready for plucking.
- You guys have gone too far.
- What does it matter to you?
You just jump on a plane
and fly back to Blighty.
- Yeah, well that's fine by me.
You guys are sick.
I want nothing to do with this.
- You're not going anywhere, old man.
- Really?
All over my new fucking floor.
- So that's our plan.
She has the drug, right?
Because she has to be
in a deep enough sleep.
- Before she took down these guys,
she came in here and she
took 200 grams of propofol,
so I reckon she must be
planning a nice long nap.
And if I know Jennifer,
even though she's in hiding,
she won't be able to
leave her new toy alone.
- If this technology has the
potential you claim it has-
- It does, far more than
even Jennifer recognizes.
- Well then, we don't want it falling
into the wrong hands, do we?
- And by that I assume you mean
anyone else's hands but yours.
Hey.
- My God, I'm glad I can't smell that.
Is it going to work?
- Give me some credit, Adam.
I do have an honors in applied chemistry
When the glove is filled, it will pop of
The water is the catalyst.
Okay, let's go.
- Wait, what about
the body you are in?
- Oh, crap.
Oh, less time than I thought.
- Hey, hey, hey.
Hey honey.
Where are you off to in such a hurry?
- I was just popping to the shops
before they close to buy you
something sexy for later,
my gorgeous love hunk.
- Who are you and what
have you done with my Lucy?
- Sorry?
- You're going shopping,
you'll need money.
My luscious Lucy always asks
her daddy bear for money.
Buy yourself something sexy.
- See you later, big man.
- That was too close.
- Did the girl gets away?
- Luscious Lucy, I think so,
but there's nothing
stopping her coming back.
- Open the fucking door.
- Okay, here we go.
- What's fucking going on in there?
Boys, get your fucking
asses up here, pronto.
Open the fucking door, bitch.
Fuck!
- Adam, Adam.
I need to stop.
I can't run anymore.
I'm so tired.
- I'm sorry, Jennifer,
but you can't stop now.
- Where are you?
- I'm here. I'm right next to you
Jennifer, you are concussed-
- Okay.
- Which is why
you can't see me.
- Okay.
I need to get her somewhere safe. (pants
I was trying to make Candy's life better
but I've just made it worse,
and now I don't even have you.
- Jennifer, I am always here for you.
And as for Candy, well,
she would've probably ended up
in the same situation
anyway or something similar.
- Candy didn't eavesdrop
on those guys, I did.
- True, but I
chose Candy for a reason.
She has a good heart,
but her life's been troubled
for a couple of years.
- So you thought if I could inhabit her,
I could change her life?
- Yes.
- What happens to Candy
when I'm in her body?
Does she know what's happened to her?
- No, not at all.
It's as if she's blacked out.
- That must be terrifying.
Okay, I need to get her somewhere safe
and find a way to explain
what's been going on.
- How are you going to do that?
- I don't...
I'll find a way, I have to.
I wish I could see you.
- I do not understand.
- I miss you.
- You mean you miss seeing me?
You'll see me again, Jennifer,
but if you do, it might be a sign
that you are pushing Candy's
brain a little too far
and she needs rest.
Come on, there's a place just up the roa
You are all booked in just like before.
This time tell the receptionist
you are under the name Paula Smith.
- Hi.
Uh, I like to-
- Hold it lady.
I don't want no trouble, okay?
- I have a booking under Paula Smith.
- Smith, huh?
How you gonna pay?
You ain't turning no tricks around here.
This is a respectable place.
Paula Smith, paid in advance.
Okay, lady.
Room 11, upstairs on the left.
- Thank you.
- This Jennifer hasn't
left anything of use behind.
- I did warn you, she's smart.
- And yet you don't know where she's gon
and I find that hard to believe.
- Well, believe what you like.
I have no more idea where she's than you
- Boyfriends?
- No.
- "Structure Of The Human Cells"
by Professor Redmond Connelly?
- Her father.
He's been dead for 20 years.
- And her mother?
- Died in childbirth.
I'm the nearest thing to family she has.
- Yet you're willing to betray her.
You better start coming up
with some answers, Professor.
You owe a lot of money.
- I know, I know.
Look, I may have one
last way to reach her.
- You better to start using it.
You're running out of options,
and I'm running out of time.
You've got till midday tomorrow.
Okay, we're done!
- Sue, it's Bill Hanson.
- That should just about do it.
I hope she understands.
- It's going to
be a lot to take in.
- I can see you.
I like seeing you.
- Remember, she's concussed
and needs to rest.
- You're right.
I need to get into bed now.
- Hmm.
- Adam, you can leave.
- Oh, um, certainly.
Good night, Jennifer.
- Good night.
- Hello. Who's this?
- It's Bill.
- How did you get this number?
It's an emergency line
for my patients only.
- Sue gave it to me. Don't blame her.
I told her you might be in danger.
- Well, that was true at least.
- Are you okay?
- Depends how you define okay
If surviving a kidnap attempt
on university property is okay,
then yeah, I guess I'm fine.
- That was a misunderstanding.
- Never mind.
Bill, I need you to
tell me what's going on.
- You just
misunderstood the situation.
I never sent those guys,
the government did.
They simply wanted to remind you
of the urgency on delivering
on Project Indigo Dawn.
I did try to warn you!
All I am asking
is that we meet up
and you let me explain.
- Fine. I'll be in touch.
Hello?
- It's been so long.
Do you not know me?
My name is-
- Candy, is that you?
Hang on, can you turn on your camera?
- Sorry, I, I don't know who you are,
but I found this letter.
- Oh, Candy, please don't cry.
I'm Jennifer.
I wrote the letter.
- Some really crazy stuff's been going o
I keep blacking out and,
and I think I'm going crazy.
- You're not losing your mind, Candy.
It's a long story.
I'll, I'll try to explain.
Are you alone?
- Yeah.
I should call my boyfriend-
- Johnny.
- Yeah, Johnny.
Are you his friend?
If you're friends with Johnny,
I don't wanna say nothing.
- No, no, no Candy.
Please don't hang up.
I'm nothing to do with Johnny.
You have to believe me.
The fact that I knew his name
is proof of what I'm gonna tell you.
Everything's gonna be okay, I promise.
I have a plan,
but you're gonna need to get on a plane.
Let me start from the beginning.
So I'm a scientist
and I found a way to hack
into people's dreams,
and I hacked into your dream, except-
- Are you sure she's going to call?
- She'll call and set up a rendezvous,
and when she does,
you'll get your machine.
Oh, check.
- You know what this means to me, Bill.
If I had the strength.
Let me remind you, Professor,
the clock is ticking for both of us.
If you let it get away this time,
there are no more chances for you.
You can't afford for this to go wrong
any more than I can.
- She'll call.
- She better, because if she doesn't,
I will end you.
- Adam.
- Everything's
been sorted for Candy,
just as you specified.
- Excellent.
I like her, even if I
didn't like being her.
Now, to secure our future,
the package is in reception.
What about the courier?
- He's already on his way now.
- Good.
Adam, I need you to promise me
that no matter what happens,
you won't come to my aid in here.
- If that's what you wish.
- Go.
- So, the courier
will deliver the remote link headset,
which will enable Bill to access
this fantasy forest at the same time
as I'm accessing it on the
main system back at the hotel.
- Are you sure that's safe?
We were keeping the room and I a secret.
- It's why I don't
want you to come to my aide.
It's just too dangerous
to meet him anywhere
unless I have full and total control.
Exposing the forest, the network,
I'm prepared to risk.
- I understand,
and I will of course do whatever you ask
- Bill can only
use the remote helmet once
and then it will self-destruct.
- Jennifer, where the hell are we?
- Hello, Bill.
From your perspective, this,
this is my dream.
- Your dream,
your original concept for
the Indigo Dawn Project.
- So you do know that my machine
is capable of doing more?
- Dreams, taking over bodies and minds.
I never doubted that you
were a genius, you know that.
I've always had faith in you.
- Stop saying that.
- But it's true.
- Then why betray me?
Why set me up?
- No, I never said-
- Stop lying to me, Bill.
Those guys don't work for the government
not the British government anyway.
No more excuses.
I bet you never
had a deal with them
in the first place.
Tell me, do you recognize this?
- I'm sorry?
- Look.
- You know what I always say,
John, keep your hat on
and watch out for diabolical villains.
- I remember.
Are you sure this is
what you wanted to do?
- No, not sure, but I don't
think I have any choice.
Goodbye.
It's been an experience.
- You remember.
- I loved those times.
You were my peace and inspiration,
my guiding star after Dad died.
I loved every moment with you.
- I've always seen you as the
child I never had, Jennifer.
Nothing's changed.
It's just that some things
are bigger than family.
- How can you say that?
- Oh, you are so much like your father.
He was a great man, superb scientist.
He, he was my best friend,
but he was also a damned idiot.
- What?
- Well, I guess it's about time you knew
The car accident, it
wasn't so much an accident.
- How do you mean?
He was on his way back
to the lab to see you.
- He was killed, murdered,
and I set him up.
I didn't think he'd die.
I thought that they would just scare him
- Why would you?
How could you do?
Who are they?
- They are the people in control.
We're just their pawns.
We have to dance to their
tune or we become dispensable,
and that's what happened to your father.
- You could have stopped them.
- Don't you think that's what I've been
consumed with all these years?
Why I drink, the guilt.
But you see, I can't go back.
I'm in too deep.
Don't make the same
mistakes your father did.
You see, he wouldn't sell his research
to the highest bidder.
Took the same moral
stance that you are now,
and he paid the ultimate price.
- What's happening to me?
- Shh.
Try not to speak.
We needed to find you,
and it was decided that I
would keep you busy in here,
and they would track you down out there.
Rookie mistake, Jennifer,
thinking a courier was safe.
- Why do I feel so bad?
- Oh, that, that's a
little addition of my own.
Think of it like a computer virus.
You see, this is goodbye Jennifer.
We won't meet again.
Despite everything that's happened,
think of me kindly sometimes.
I made a deal with the devil,
and that is something I'll
have to live or die with.
Please remember, I did
always have faith in you.
- This unit will self-destruct
Three, two, one.
Goodbye, Bill.
- How long till we get there, Dad?
I'm really excited.
- We've gotta find the
gate first yet, babe.
Keep up.
- Mate, I'm so knackered.
Couldn't even arrest an old lady
if she was pulled for a sandwich.
They've had me on here
seven nights in a row.
Bloody government cuts.
- Why don't you go and take a break now?
I'll get Alex to cover.
- All right, if you need me, mat
I'll be down in the CCTV room
getting some shut eye, yeah?
- British Ryanair Airways
announce the departure of the flight
marked flight 422 to Berlin.
Will passengers please precede
to the travel plaza four
for passports and immigration checks?
British Ryanair Airways flight 442.
- Come with me, please, miss.
- Why? What do I do?
What have I done?
- Candy, it's me, Adam.
- Adam.
You scared me.
Jennifer didn't tell
me you're a policeman.
- "I am all things to all men,
that I might by all means save some."
It's from the Bible, Corinthians 9.
Never mind, just keep walking.
- Here, thought you said
Steve was on a break.
- He is.
- What's he doing down there then?
- Steven!
- Go, go, go.
- Police, move aside, police.
- Move aside, police.
Excuse me, please.
Move aside, police.
- All right.
- Candy, go.
Jennifer's life is in danger, go.
- You all right, love, where you going?
- Excuse me, sir,
police business.
- Hey there, love.
Where you going?
- I need to
requisition your vehicle.
- Oh, fucking hell.
Sorry, mate.
My fucking cab!
- Not you two again.
- It's a pleasure to finally
meet you, Professor Connelly.
- I don't suppose you work
for the British government, do you?
- That's very perceptive of you.
I suggest you rest,
and when we get to our destination,
we will have a lovely long chat.
- Whoa, will you leave the case behind?
You won't be needing it.
Right, you're an American.
I take it you've used a gun before.
- That's a bit racist,
but yeah, sure.
Whoa. Ah.
You think it's gonna come to that?
- I hope not.
Are you clear on the plan?
- Yeah, uh, I wait for the signal
and then I creep in and I rescue Jennife
- But remember, once the alarm goes off,
you've both gotta to be
clear of the building.
- What about you?
- Don't worry about me.
Just make sure you and Jennifer get out.
- Okay.
Wait, Adam, I don't know the signal.
Adam!
No!
- Believe it or not, Professor Connelly.
Jennifer, can I call you that?
I don't want to hurt you.
Actually, I want us to work together.
- What?
Why would I wanna work for you?
Who even are you?
- I assume you've heard of Lei Tech.
- Of course. Who hasn't?
- I am Wang Lei, the founder and owner.
This is one of our disused
tech distribution centers.
I have armed men guarding every door,
patrolling the maze of corridors.
And should anyone get past them,
then it's rather unlikely
they will not be spotted
by my rather aggressive security system.
Nobody will disturb us here.
Jennifer, do you have
any idea of the enormity
of your invention?
- Of course I do.
- I'm not sure you do.
This machine has so many possibilities
beyond its clinical application.
- You said you had an offer for me.
- Did you know that Lei Tech
has a subsidiary laboratory division?
My scientists have been perfecting
cloning technology.
Quite beautiful, don't you think?
- That's sick.
Human cloning is illegal.
- I didn't think you were
that naive, Jennifer.
My scientists have created
a youthful replica of
me, perfect in every way.
But without a soul, it's worthless.
- This machine is designed to cure peopl
not make them immortal.
- I may be the first to
go through this procedure,
but after that-
- What?
- We could preserve the genius
of all scientists for eternity,
we could control the minds
and actions of world leaders.
- So that's what you
want, world domination.
That's insane!
- Do you want to work
with me or against me?
I, I don't have time
for a long discussion.
Let me be honest with you,
I am dying, I have cancer.
I can just take this machine
and get Bill to operate it.
I'd rather have you.
Come on, what do you say?
What the?
Don't just stand there, do something.
You morons, secure at the place now.
- Right, everyone mobilized.
Any intruders, I want them fucking dead.
- Wang Lei, Wang Lei, I see you.
- Who are you?
You've made a mistake coming here.
Show me yourself.
You are up against 20 armed men,
all trained to kill.
This place is fitted
with every security device known to man.
You'll never penetrate it.
There are weapons
pointing in every corner.
You're a dead man.
Front door, what the hell's happening?
- Sir, he's inside already.
- I wouldn't if I were you, sir.
- Let him go
and we'll let you go.
- System override.
Hello, Adam.
All security under your control.
Realigning targets.
- Move it, you.
You've got to protect me
and the pods at all cost!
- Hide.
- Let's play.
- It's a pleasure to
meet you in the flesh at last.
- Candy.
- Yeah, we're here to get you out.
- We?
So that is Adam.
- Stop right there.
You're making a big mistake, Jennifer.
Join me and I will protect
you with your equipment.
Blue, Blue, she's trying to get away.
Stop her!
- For God's sake, open your eyes.
- Blue! Damn it.
- We gotta get out of here, now!
Come on!
- Jennifer!
Please. Oh, god.
- We've got him.
- Huh? Fair cop, gentlemen.
You got me.
- Guns.
- Wait, wait, we have to go back for Ada
- No, the alarm on your phone.
Adam asked you to set it, right?
- Yeah.
- Yeah,
then it's already too late.
- What?
- Seems to be just me and you now, boy.
Well, aren't you man enough
to come out and face me?
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
Oh yeah, and you know I've
got one of these, don't ya?
- What the fuck?
- You can't do this to me.
Do you know who I am?
Ah!
- Bye, Sue.
- There you go.
- Bye.
- Hey, Candy.
You okay?
- Sure.
Ooh, is that it?
It's so much smaller than it was before.
Did you check it's working?
- I didn't wanna risk the battery power,
but I think so.
- You sure you're not just scared
of some chance encounter
with a dashing digital heart drop?
- If Adam still exists
and we didn't banish him to binary heave
then why hasn't he contacted me?
- Well.
Well, there's only one way to find out.
Besides, it's the only way
you're gonna get the professors, so.
- Bill came in?
- Sure did.
Not looking so good,
but, uh, definitely him.
- So much for the police
not being able to find him.
Hiding in plain sight.
Did you slip him a mickey?
- Check for yourself.
Extra shot of vanilla in
his espresso ristretto,
except it wasn't exactly vanilla.
- Candy, you're a star.
See, I told you our plan was foolproof.
You working in his favorite coffee house
eventually he'd walk right into our trap
You, go girl.
Please, Candy.
Someone has to go in
and I just can't do it.
I owe you.
- Yeah.
- Wow.
This is weird.
Jennifer, it's me.
Jennifer, it's me.
Wow. Whoa!
- Frank.
- What the fuck?
- Ladies and gentlemen,
I am the renowned Oxbridge
Professor William Hanson.
- What the fuck are you doing?
- Can you direct me to
the nearest constabulary?
- Hey, stop that.
- Here, are you Mary Poppins?
Hello, hello, hello.
- Don't you fucking
touch my wife, you nut.
- Excuse me.
- Come on.
- What the?
- Big step back please, madam.
Fellas, give some space.
- Can you call Charlotte
and tell her it's code red?
- It's all right, sir.
- The Dean mustn't find out.
- Come on, let's go outside, sir.
- The Dean.
Jennifer.
I'm sorry.
- Can we just get him out of here, pleas
- So, what is it?
I thought that's what you wanted.
- I guess.
It's still hard though.
He meant a lot to me once.
- Yeah.
But remember, Batman was responsible
for your father's death.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
And whatever he did to me,
nothing can forgive that.
- Ooh, I almost forgot,
I have some news too.
- Oh my God.
Candy, I'm so sorry.
I've been so caught up in my own world.
- Oh, it's okay, it's okay.
I mean, without all that's happened,
I would still be waitressing
in some sleazy strip joint
and being beaten up by that
asshole Johnny every day.
I have a lot to thank you for.
But this is goodbye.
- What?
I don't understand.
- I got a job offer
as a dancer in New York.
It's, it's off Broadway,
but you know, it's, it's a start.
It's what I've always wanted to do.
I'm leaving tonight.
- Oh my God.
Candy.
- Yeah.
- I'm so happy for you.
I'm gonna miss you.
- Oh, I'm gonna miss you too.
First, there's someone I want you to mee
He called me a few weeks ago.
- Candy.
- So I'm just gonna let you
two get to know each other.
And yeah.
Oh!
See you, babe.
Be in touch, yeah.
And remember, don't do
anything I wouldn't do.
Mm.
- Please, sit down.
- Thank you.
Candy thought it would
be best if we met here.
- I dunno what she told you,
but I'm not really looking
for anything right now.
- Uh, sorry, I didn't make myself clear.
By here, I meant the real world.
- Adam?
I thought I'd never see you again.
- I was worried you'd blame me
for not rescuing you myself
and saving your equipment.
- But you did save me.
I even got Bill.
- Yes but I could have helped with that.
- I know, but I needed to end this mysel
This whole experience has shown me that
Indigo Dawn is too dangerous
for any one person,
any one government to own.
These past few months,
I've agonized over it,
about whether I should destroy it.
- Oh, I see.
- But there is only one
reason that I didn't
because I'd never see you again.
- Jennifer, what if I told
you there was a third option,
an even better idea?
Come on, I'll tell you on the way home.
