You have taken your Jellybean.
Remember to take a Jellybean
every 24 hours
and service your system
regularly.
(rustling, creaking)
(Djonny takes deep breath)
(rustling continues)
HEAD:
Remember, disconnection from me
can cause errors in your system
and side effects in your body.
(child shuddering quietly)
These side effects
may cause your body
-to decease.
-DJONNY: Shh.
HEAD: Jan, are you planning
to waste water
or sexual energy today?
DJONNY:
(inhales deeply) No.
(lock whirring)
(Djonny takes deep breath,
clears throat)
(chittering)
HEAD:
Detective Jan 623.
DJONNY:
Yes, Head?
HEAD: Your assignment for today
is as follows:
You have been selected
to conduct
an investigation
at the refugee center.
DJONNY:
Thank you, Head.
HEAD:
One of the refugees
has been murdered
under unusual circumstances.
DJONNY:
Okay.
HEAD: Reports indicate
anti-systemic activity
disrupting Head servers.
DJONNY:
Mm-hmm.
HEAD:
We have reason to believe
a Cyber Witch is responsible.
DJONNY:
Mm. Cyber Witch. Nice.
HEAD: We need someone
with your special skill set
-and particular approach...
-(Djonny chuckling)
HEAD:
...to uncover the perpetrator.
DJONNY:
Thank you, Head. On my way.
HEAD:
Have a nice day.

DJONNY:
Get up for school.
ZEN:
I am up.
DJONNY:
Okay. Eat the Jellybean.
ZEN:
I'm eating.
DJONNY:
Wow. Cool.
ZEN:
Dad, that's so cringey.
No one speaks like that anymore.
-(chuckles)
-(Ayka chuckles)
AYKA:
I'm gonna puke.
(Zen and Ayka laugh)
-ZEN: Mom, stop it.
-HEAD: Jan,
we have credited your account
for starting a new case.
DJONNY:
Ayka, I just got paid up front.
ZEN:
So, are we surfing today?
DJONNY:
(chuckles) You bet.
-ZEN: Zetta!
-DJONNY: (chuckles) Okay.
Let's update your systems first.
HEAD:
Update initiating.
(electronic trilling, crackling)
Update in progress.
-Update complete.
-ZEN: Done.
-(chuckling)
-HEAD: Remember
that water and energy
are our greatest good.
DJONNY:
Zen.
Get ready for school.
And don't test the Head.
ZEN: 'Cause my second leg
will explode?
DJONNY:
You only have one brain.
ZEN: Mm-hmm.
I'm changing out of my pj's.
-Love you. Bye.
-AYKA: Mm.
DJONNY:
Bye.
Love. Kiss, kiss.
ZEN:
I love you.

(Head chiming)
BOSSA:
My favorite detective.
DJONNY:
Bossa.
(Head chimes)
Our Djonny.
You're back in the Head's favor.
Good to see you, Bossa.
Let's go.
DJONNY:
It's nice here.
But far.
The Head wanted it to be
as remote as possible.
-Mm-hmm.
-It was meant to be temporary,
but they've already
been here a week.
Their religion doesn't allow
them to connect to the Head.
-Can you imagine?
-So?
We respect that, of course.
I told them that
they can't enter the city
without connecting to the Head.
-Uh-huh.
-That's simply the law here.
-Mm.
-When you arrive,
you eat the damn Jellybean,
and we let you into the Center.
There is no other way.
-Simple.
-Yeah.
Djonny, Maria.
-DJONNY: Maria, hey.
-Hello, Detective.
Maria will be your guide.
-Cool.
-(chuckles)
MARIA: They didn't resist
when they were stopped.
They said they were fleeing
from war and starvation.
-(indistinct shouting)
-Since they have been here,
there have been explosions
in the Head servers.
(refugees humming melodically)
And now this ritual murder
between them.
TSETSE:
Who did this?
Answer the question!

-DJONNY: Mona.
-(device trilling)
(sighs)
(whooshing)
Thank you, Mona.
Hi, TseTse.
TSETSE:
This morning, the Head ordered
the removal of
the night shift guards.
The guards are
the murderers now?
DJONNY:
Hmm.
What do you think?
TSETSE:
They are trying to hex us.
Are you afraid?
Only of my mother.
(Djonny chuckles)
DJONNY:
My name is Jan.
And I am your detective.
I want to find the murderer
and make them pay.
If you have any information,
let me know, okay?
We will all be helping
each other.
(refugees breathing deeply)
(deep breathing continues)
(deep breathing continues)
-(deep breathing continues)
-(heart beating steadily)
(deep breathing
and heartbeat continue)
Let us bury her.
Sorry.
It's not possible.
Our Head center will turn
the dead into good.
(quiet murmuring)
(murmuring continues)
What does your famous
gut feeling have to say?
Silence.
AYKA:
What do you see?
DJONNY:
Sadness.
AYKA:
Show me sad.
I am not scared.
Come on.
DJONNY:
Okay. Share picture with Ayka.
HEAD:
Transferring the image.
AYKA:
What the fuck is this?
DJONNY:
Foreigners.
They don't want to connect.
AYKA:
And they are right.
DJONNY:
Please, don't start again.
You know that, without
the Head, we wouldn't be alive.
AYKA:
But they are alive.
DJONNY:
Yes.
But they ran out
of natural resources.
If they want to survive,
they have to connect
to the Head.
According to the rules,
they have only three more days.
AYKA:
And what then?
DJONNY:
They are changed into good.
AYKA:
You can't do that.
DJONNY:
They will die anyway.
Let them eat
the goddamn Jellybean,
and problem solved.
(wind whistling softly)
-DJONNY: I have to go.
-(Head chimes)
Ready.
Listen.
Do NeoSouls have witches?
More like pixies and healers.
And what do they do
with these... Tinker Bells?
-Nothing. It's just folk.
-Mm.
(refugees humming melodically)
(weapon emits
percussive piercing tone)
(Ayka groaning)
(ears ringing)
(breathing heavily)
RANA:
Let me in.
We can save each other.
(Ayka breathing heavily)
DJONNY: You came here
to escape the heat and hunger.
You want our help,
we can give it to you.
-(clears throat)
-So why are you hacking us?
And blow up our servers, huh?
They never caught the offenders.
Apologize to the lady, please.
DJONNY:
Apologies.
Stand up, please.
DJONNY:
Are you a Cyber Witch?
You can call me a witch
but not Cyber.
NeoSoul don't merge
with machines.
The Head is not a machine.
Huh.
Why did you kill her?
NeoSoul is an act of love.
Never use violence,
even in self-defense.
Your name?
My name is Rana.
"The one who sees."
No.
The Place That Bleeds.
You say "po-tay-to,"
I say "po-tah-to."
(clicks tongue)
Where is
The Place That Bleeds from?
From everywhere.
MARIA:
Miss Rana,
are you ready to connect
to the Head system?
Scan her, please.
Show your face.
(Djonny chuckles)
You know,
we have such a rule here
that in order to scan a face,
we need a face...
to scan.
(shudders softly)
(refugees humming melodically)
(soft whooshing)
(device trilling)
Thank you.
(humming continues)
Why are they howling?
Who?
It's the midday shadow
of a love song.
If you hear this,
it means you believe in love,
just like us.
Some parts of you remember that
you were also foreigners once.
MONA: The Head detected
a lack of sterilization.
If a person over the age of nine
sets foot on
the Head's territory,
they must agree to a nine-year
sterilization period.
This is nonnegotiable.
Djonny?
Expose your skin.
(pained whimpering)
MONA:
Djonny.
(Rana breathing heavily)
You okay?
Please let me say goodbye
to her.
Who was she to you?
My only wife.
Her name?
Amal.

(squelching continues)
(chittering, squelching)
(burbling)
(thudding)
RANA:
TseTse.
TseTse killed Amal.
How do you know?
I saw it.
When I touched her.
DJONNY:
Huh.
DJONNY: I request permission
to enter Officer TseTse's head.
HEAD:
Permission granted.
(Head chiming)
(muffled chatter)
(whooshing)
TSETSE:
Cyber Witch!
(sighs)
DJONNY:
Detective Jan 623.
I report TseTse...
for the murder of Amal.
HEAD:
Checking TseTse memories.
DJONNY:
TseTse.
Djonny.
Amal was a demon.
A demon, Djonny.
She wanted me to do it!
There are more.
They're all the same!
-Poor wife and kids.
-TSETSE: Djonny!
What a triumphant return.
Congratulations.
You are officially
a Zetta Detective.
This was
the fastest-accomplished
investigation so far.

You won't believe this.
Look.

ZEN:
What is this?
DJONNY:
It's a bird, an animal.

Why today?
Oh, come on.
I forgot that I had it.
Great.
Was it good?
Yummy.

-(Djonny coughs)
-Come on.

DJONNY:
Play Ayka's best song.

by Elytron playing)
I hope you didn't break the ban
on masturbation.

AYKA:
And you?
DJONNY:
I don't break the rules.
AYKA:
My detective. (laughs)
On this endless ocean,
finally lovers know no shame
(Djonny growls playfully)
(Ayka chuckling)
DJONNY:
I missed you.
(Djonny growling playfully)
-(laughing)
-(playful growling continues)
Turning and returning
to some secret place inside
-DJONNY: Mm...
-ZEN: What are you doing?
-Watching in slow motion...
-(music volume decreases)
We are just loving
each other, pup.
Don't call him pup.
-Pup is a dog.
-(scoffs)
ZEN:
I want loving, too.
ZEN:
Mm.
-(Head chiming)
-HEAD: Welcome.
Okay.
I don't want him to watch this.
(intermittent chiming continues)
HEAD: This is the execution
of Sergeant 846, named TseTse.
He is responsible
for the unlawful death.
He will be converted
into water and energy.
Our greatest good.
I want to apologize...
...to the Head
and to all of you.
(biobots chittering softly)
I interrupted the Head
from protecting you...
...and I may have destroyed
the most joyful moment
of your life.
And I took a life.
TSETSE: It was
a mindless and selfish act.
Th-There's no excuse
to my actions.
Breathe.
I'll disconnect us.
TSETSE: I don't know...
I don't know how could I
-put my family at risk.
-(Ayka singing in Japanese)
(TseTse's voice fading)
(TseTse's voice glitching)
TSETSE: It was... it was...
(voice glitching)
(Zen humming along
to Ayka's singing)
-(singing and humming stop)
-(electronic trilling)
TSETSE: I don't know how
could I put my family at risk.
But I am grateful to you...
...Head, that my family
was directed
to the Center for
Nonfunctioning Persons
and that I can be turned
into good...
(biobots chittering)
...for you.
-(screaming)
-(clanking)
(biobots snarling)
-(Head chiming)
-HEAD: Thank you
for your attention
to this matter.
-Have a nice day.
-(Head chimes)
AYKA:
It's a nightmare.
DJONNY: Thanks to the Head,
we have water and energy.
AYKA:
It's not enough.
The Head shouldn't force him
to watch executions.
DJONNY: And you shouldn't
disconnect him.
(Zen breathing deeply)
DJONNY:
He's safe with the Head.
AYKA: Stop.
The Head is not his mother.
(Djonny sighs)
ZEN:
I can't see anything.
Okay, pup. Breathe.
Zen.
Listen to me.
Please now try to log in, okay?
(static trilling, crackling)
(sharp high-pitched squeak,
static stops abruptly)
Easy.
Easy.
Once more.
And remember...
...you have three attempts.
(soft, staticky ringing)
ZEN:
Okay.
-It's better now.
-(ringing fades)
Mom sang for me.
I got disconnected.
It was nice.
Can I also sing like Mom?
(chuckles)
No.
No, because Mom...
has special gift.
Cool.
I have some memories
of when I still hadn't
met the Head yet,
where I sit alone in my room
and feel very well.
Now I always feel like
there's someone with me.
And I know
it's not a good feeling.
I miss loneliness the most.
(Head chimes)
(thuds)
(takes deep breath)
Are you spying on me?
No.
I'm sorry.
(chuckles quietly)

the greatest sport around
Catch a wave,

You pushed me off.
No, I didn't do anything.
Yeah, right.
Why can't I go to Mom's concert?
Because it's for adults only.
(chuckles) Dad, you don't
like it when Mom sings?
Is it because
she disconnects the Head?
Hey. Look at this. Look at this.
-Look at this.
-(electronic chiming)
-(groans)
-(Djonny laughs)
They'll send you to the center.
Wait.
Would you report
on your own father?
Of course.
Really?
I love your mom.
I love when she sings.
And I love you, too.
(electronic chiming)
But you don't love your mom.
My mom?
My mom is dead.
She isn't to me.
She's a zombie.
She doesn't bite me.
She hugs me.
She talks to me. She's warm.

the only voice of sorrow,

With no more to shed,
you still waste them all,

by everyone;

Djonny! Zen!

I'm going to him.

-Hold me.
-(whimpering softly)
Okay.
Okay.
(grunting, panting)
ZEN:
Dad, I wasn't killing myself.
I was in the toilet
and then suddenly on the roof.
The good thing is
nothing happened. Right?
I ate the Jellybean this morning
and drank a sip of water.
Just like you taught me.
And I know I should take
a break from dragon hunting,
but they didn't take
my water today.
I carried it with me,
just like you suggested.
And I know you can't constantly
ignore the Head.
Because it builds up errors
and freezes
and can lead to an explosion.
Ayka!
Ayka!

(Ayka whimpering)
AYKA:
Zen. (whimpers)

HEAD:
Welcome to the execution
of the refugee number 341,
named Rana.
HEAD:
This is a Cyber Witch,
the most important member
of the NeoSoul group.
She is responsible
for the most recent blackout.
We are unable
to convert her into good,
as we must prevent
the possible reintegration
of corrupted remains.
(whooshing)
(faint, distorted screaming)
(Head chiming)
HEAD: Thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Have a nice day.
(Ayka whimpers)
(Ayka whimpers)

I caused the blackout.
No.
She hacked us all.
No.

Thank you, Head.

One of the refugees

Okay.

Our Djonny.
You're back in the Head's favor.
Good to see you, Bossa.
Let's go.
DJONNY:
It's nice here.
But far.
The Head wanted it to be
as remote as possible.
-Mm-hmm.
-It was meant to be temporary,
but they've already
been here a week.
Their religion doesn't allow
them to connect to the Head.
-Can you imagine?
-So?
We respect that, of course.
I told them that
they can't enter the city
without connecting to the Head.
-Uh-huh.
-That's simply the law here.
-Mm.
-When you arrive,
you eat the damn Jellybean,
and we let you into the Center.
There is no other way.
-Simple.
-Yeah.
Djonny, Maria.

Maria will be your guide.
-Cool.

Hi, TseTse.
TSETSE:
This morning, the Head ordered
the removal of
the night shift guards.
The guards are
the murderers now?
DJONNY:
Hmm.
What do you think?
TSETSE:
They are trying to hex us.
Are you afraid?
Only of my mother.
(Djonny chuckles)
DJONNY:
My name is Jan.
And I am your detective.
I want to find the murderer
and make them pay.
If you have any information,
let me know, okay?
We will all be helping
each other.

Show me sad.
I am not scared.
Come on.

Okay. Share picture with Ayka.

AYKA:
What the fuck is this?
DJONNY:
Foreigners.
They don't want to connect.
AYKA:
And they are right.
DJONNY:
Please, don't start again.
You know that, without
the Head, we wouldn't be alive.
AYKA:
But they are alive.
DJONNY:
Yes.
But they ran out
of natural resources.
If they want to survive,
they have to connect
to the Head.
According to the rules,
they have only three more days.
AYKA:
And what then?
DJONNY:
They are changed into good.
AYKA:
You can't do that.
DJONNY:
They will die anyway.
Let them eat
the goddamn Jellybean,
and problem solved.

to escape the heat and hunger.
You want our help,
we can give it to you.
-(clears throat)
-So why are you hacking us?
And blow up our servers, huh?
They never caught the offenders.
Apologize to the lady, please.
DJONNY:
Apologies.
Stand up, please.
DJONNY:
Are you a Cyber Witch?
You can call me a witch
but not Cyber.
NeoSoul don't merge
with machines.
The Head is not a machine.
Huh.
Why did you kill her?
NeoSoul is an act of love.
Never use violence,
even in self-defense.

MARIA:
Miss Rana,
are you ready to connect
to the Head system?
Scan her, please.
Show your face.
(Djonny chuckles)
You know,
we have such a rule here
that in order to scan a face,
we need a face...
to scan.

it means you believe in love,

you were also foreigners once.
MONA: The Head detected
a lack of sterilization.
If a person over the age of nine
sets foot on
the Head's territory,
they must agree to a nine-year
sterilization period.
This is nonnegotiable.
Djonny?
Expose your skin.
(pained whimpering)

She wanted me to do it!
There are more.

He is responsible
for the unlawful death.
He will be converted
into water and energy.

I want to apologize...
...to the Head
and to all of you.
(biobots chittering softly)
I interrupted the Head
from protecting you...
...and I may have destroyed
the most joyful moment
of your life.
And I took a life.
TSETSE: It was
a mindless and selfish act.
Th-There's no excuse
to my actions.
Breathe.
I'll disconnect us.

I don't know how could I

It's not enough.
The Head shouldn't force him
to watch executions.
DJONNY: And you shouldn't
disconnect him.

DJONNY:
He's safe with the Head.
AYKA: Stop.
The Head is not his mother.

Okay, pup. Breathe.

I got disconnected.
It was nice.
Can I also sing like Mom?

No.
No, because Mom...
has special gift.
Cool.
I have some memories
of when I still hadn't
met the Head yet,
where I sit alone in my room
and feel very well.
Now I always feel like
there's someone with me.
And I know
it's not a good feeling.
I miss loneliness the most.

So?
Don't worry.

for killing Amal
after I reported him.
You believed me.
Amal hacked TseTse.
You don't believe in anything.
This is why you are sad.

Okay.
Okay.
(grunting, panting)
ZEN:
Dad, I wasn't killing myself.
I was in the toilet
and then suddenly on the roof.
The good thing is
nothing happened. Right?
I ate the Jellybean this morning
and drank a sip of water.
Just like you taught me.
And I know I should take
a break from dragon hunting,
but they didn't take
my water today.
I carried it with me,
just like you suggested.
And I know you can't constantly
ignore the Head.
Because it builds up errors
and freezes
and can lead to an explosion.
Ayka!
Ayka!

AYKA:
Zen. (whimpers)

HEAD:
Welcome to the execution
of the refugee number 341,
named Rana.
HEAD:
This is a Cyber Witch,
the most important member
of the NeoSoul group.
She is responsible
for the most recent blackout.
We are unable
to convert her into good,
as we must prevent
the possible reintegration
of corrupted remains.
(whooshing)
(faint, distorted screaming)
(Head chiming)
HEAD: Thank you for
your attention to this matter.
Have a nice day.
(Ayka whimpers)
(Ayka whimpers)

I caused the blackout.
No.
She hacked us all.
No.

You would fear for Zen.
I did.
No, please.
