Yes!
[Yusuf] Where are you, man!
I've been trying to reach you for hours.
Why didn't you answer?
I overslept, what happened?
[Yusuf] What do you mean!?
Weren't we finishing it
today? We agreed on that!
Man...
They've been waiting for
days, so let's finish this.
Hey...
Who am I talking to?
I'll do the final checks
and then I'll send you
the code to test, Yusuf.
[Yusuf] OK!
When will you send it?
I don't know! (Angrily)
Probably in a couple of hours!
[Yusuf] Adem!
Come on man, don't delay any more...
Listen, they'll give it to someone else
and we'll be left out.
Okay Yusuf! (Aggressive)
Stop it!
I said I'll send it.
[Yusuf] Man, seriously.
Finish this job, then ask me for anything.
Look, I don't like things like that.
Treating me like an employee...
[Yusuf] Okay... I'm not saying anything.
Let me know once you're done.
Alright then, see you.

[Typing sound] Did we
talk about doing that today?
Are you planning for another day?
[Typing sound] No! I just don't
remember what we talked about yesterday.
[Typing sound] Never mind, forget it!
Did we talk yesterday? Or did we text?
We texted.
[Typing sound] The chat
history has been deleted!
You know, if you said you were
busy, I could understand that,
but I don't like it when you lie.
[Adem] Lying? Where did
you get that idea that I'm lying?
[Typing sound] Look, I
honestly don't remember, I swear.

want, we can meet, okay?

Your pizza order!
I didn't order anything!
You didn't?
Adem Ertekin!
[Courier] Aren't you?
It's me.
But I didn't order anything.
Oh really!
The payment has been made. Are you sure?
(loudly) I didn't order anything.
I understand.
[Courier] There must be some mix-up.
Sorry about that.
Wait
It will be a waste, right?
Well yes.
Let's not waste it.
Enjoy your meal.

[Huhh..]
Who are you?
What do you mean?
I don't know you.
Ohh...
Really!
How did you get here?
[Key rattle]
If this is a joke, it's not funny at all.
What happened to me?
What do you mean?
My whole body hurts,
like I've been beaten up.
What's this!
Did you go somewhere
last night without telling me?
When did I fall asleep?
I don't know!
I arrived half an hour ago.
I saw you sleeping and
didn't want to wake you.
Weird!
What's weird?
I don't remember when I fell asleep.
So what?
It's never happened to me before.
You've been working very hard lately.
That's the reason!
Work?
Baby, please stop talking nonsense!
Baby?
Are we dating?
You're joking, right?
What day is it today?
Please tell me this is
a joke or I'm leaving.
Adem, what's this? (Shouting)
I don't know!
It's hard to explain.
(Shouting) Look, if you're trying to
get rid of me, this won't end well!
What are you talking about?
Seriously...
Tell me the truth.
If you want me to leave, I'll go.
You don't need to act like that!
Act?
Look, I know
It's hard to believe.
But I
I don't even remember your name.
Please stop this. (Shouting)
It's not the time for jokes!
Do I look like I'm joking?
Baby, please don't scare me.
Look
Let me make you a nice coffee.
Do you want some?
You'll feel better after you drink it.
I think it is better to go to the hospital.
Are you serious?
Is it that hard to believe?
I'm sorry.
I thought it was one of
your stupid jokes again.
Okay Here's what we'll do. (Worried)
I'll get ready, and then we'll leave, okay?

Finally!
How did you get here?
You're kidding me! I've
been trying to reach you!
What do you mean? Why didn't you call me?
Who said I didn't?
You're not checking your phone!
I saw you called just now.
Are you going somewhere?
I'll explain on the way.
I don't know if you're aware, but
they are about to rip us to pieces.
They've been waiting 4 whole months, Adem.
4 whole months!
Did you get it?
This is not the time for
this. Let's talk outside.
Wait Wait a second. (Angrily)
What What is it? (Angry and shouting)
Did you do something
about work without telling me?
I told you I'll explain on the way.
First, tell me what's happening.
What are you trying to do?
Look
If you've screwed
this up, I won't tolerate.
[Adem] Look, don't bother me with the work.
Are you nuts? Get out of my way!

I'm sorry
I can't let you do that.

I've been calling you for hours.
I fell asleep, what happened?
[Yusuf] What do you mean?
What did we talk about yesterday?
Are you on your way?
[Yusuf] I haven't left yet.
When will you get here?
[Yusuf] I have some work to do.
I'll be at your place in 12 hours.
Okay, I'll get ready too.
[Yusuf] Will we finish it today?
I don't know! (Harshly)
[Yusuf] What does that mean?
They'll give the job to someone else
because of you, man. You have no idea.
Are you aware how long
we've been stalling them?
Let's finish and hand it over.
Okay, Yusuf! (Harshly)
We'll figure out when you get here.
[Yusuf] Fine (seriously)
We'll talk when I arrive.

[TV Reporter] The Minister of
Health emphasized in his statement
that everyone must strictly
comply with the implemented curfew
in order to prevent the
spread of Covid cases.
The Minister stated that the upcoming
months would be the most critical period,
and in order for the normalization
process to begin as soon as possible,
case numbers must remain
at significantly low levels.
Following this statement,
the question of what kind of
sanction will be applied to citizens
who remain unvaccinated
is still a matter of curiosity.
Now, we move on to our next news story.
Emin Kalkan, CEO of Nrval Global Company,
announced that human testing has
begun on their cloned human project.
Kalkan stated that significant
progress has been made in the project
that the company launched four years ago,
and that the first tests
were successfully completed.
After this development,
the company's stock values drew
attention and pleased investors.
[Phone vibrates] The rise in
stock prices is expected to continue.
Kalkan said that they are planning
to make a public presentation

What's up, my dear?
What's that! Didn't you miss me?
You know I miss you. [Sighs]
You never show it though.
[Sighs]
I've just got a lot on my mind
these days That's the reason.
Work again?
You're always busy whenever I call.
Is that why you called?
No
Are you working today too?
Unfortunately.
So, what about our meeting?
We agreed on that. (Reproachfully)
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
Meeting, like normal people do.
During a curfew?
Oh Right.
I completely forgot about that.
Listen, I have an idea!
I'll find a way and come to you, okay?
But, Yusuf will be here soon.
We have to finish this work today
We need to work, so
don't get mad at me later.
What time are you available?
Yusuf will be here any minute
I don't know when we'll finish.
So you're saying don't even come!
No! I'm keeping you updated.
Fine. So will you be free tomorrow?
[Sighs]
I don't know, I guess I will!
Adem, is it always going
to be like this? [Annoyed]
Look
How about this?
I'll call you tomorrow.
Then, we'll plan accordingly.
I need to take a shower now.
Why are you acting so cold to me?
You're always busy when I call.
You always push me away.
Did I do something to
hurt you unintentionally?
Please.
Can we stop arguing for now?
I really don't have
time for this right now!
I really don't understand you!
Fine.
For your information, I am
not happy with this situation.
Look.
These days there are some

Where are you, man!?
I'm standing here like a tree.
I was putting on my clothes. Come inside!
I nearly got fined on the way here.
What fine?
Well, since you never go out...
I'm talking about the curfew, you know.
Why, what happened?
Well
There was control...
I spent five minutes
looking for the permit.
If I hadn't found it, I'd have been fined.
Oh
What's up?
What?
Looks like your mind is somewhere else.
No
Where did you get that from?
I don't know
Like you're not listening to me!
I got distracted for a moment.
Want something to drink?

Is there anything to eat?
There's a leftover sandwich!
You're mean! (Laughs)

Man

What welcoming? What coming?
I just arrived, okay!?
Adem What's happening?
Where did that gun come from?
Look
I didn't even know this gun
existed until just a moment ago!
Somehow it's like it came
into existence afterward!
Isn't that weird to you too?
Adem Please don't do
this. You're scaring me!
I'm sure there's a logical
explanation for this.
Please put the gun down
before someone gets hurt!
Tell me what's happening to you.
I swear, I have no idea what's going on.
I didn't understand what happened.
Please get that off my face.
Don't lie! (Loudly)

Adem leave me
I swear I don't know
what you're talking about.
I didn't even understand.
Please!

I have no idea about anything!
I know nothing, I swear.
Why are you doing this?
What did I do to you?
[Yusuf] Please put that gun down.
What's wrong with me?
It doesn't make any sense.
[Deep breathing]
Adem what's going on?
I don't know.
Something's happening but
I can't figure out what it is.
I'm about to lose my mind.
I don't understand
what you're trying to say?
It's like something
Like
Something
I don't know.
I can't figure it out.
What are you trying to say?
It's like I'm trapped
inside these walls, Yusuf.
Shall we go outside?
Maybe fresh air will help, huh!
What do you think?
Look
I think this is totally normal.
I mean
I'm sure other people have
experienced things like this.
[Yusuf] And,
I don't know if you notice
but we've been working
hard for the last 6 months.
[Yusuf] Man!
I sometimes forget what I ate yesterday.
This isn't that kind of thing!
Do you want to see a doctor?
Can you call my father?
If you want I can call Serap.

Hey!
Wait a bit.
Don't ruin my preparations.
This is my most special day.
I thought it was a different day!
But it's up to you.
Silly.
By the way
How much did you sell for?
Price doesn't matter, dear.
I finally have a known exhibition.
I think it was inevitable.
Good things always find their buyers.
[Laughs]
You sound like a marketer.
I wish I had the money to buy them all.
Liar!
Why would I lie, my love?
After all, you have amazing paintings.
And...
You deserve this.
Even if that is the case,
it has no meaning if
no one sees the artwork.
Why is that?
Well
Every artist wants their works
to be seen and appreciated.
Even though some say the opposite,
I believe it is not like that.
Come here.
You are the most beautiful
work of art made for me!
Silly. [Smiling]
I love you.
Now this is a very special day.

Anyway, forget all that.
What time are you free?
Let's finish the software.

If you have guests, I won't come at all.
No I wasn't expecting anyone.
Really!
Now I'm curious too.
Why?
I mean
I don't know.
Lockdown and stuffs...
And you're not expecting anyone.

[Yusuf] You never know
what can happen in this world.
Fuck off man, are you fucking crazy?

Am I being blamed for
caring about my friend?
Stop being ridiculous. I'm

Hello? Yes?
Mr. Adem, right?
Have we met before?
I don't think so!
What is this?
Oh! I'm really sorry
[Courier] I was supposed to
deliver this to you yesterday
but there was a delay due to workload.
Could you please sign here?
There must be a mistake!
I'm not expecting a package.
Recipient name and address appear correct!
Are you sure?
Can you check who sent it?
Unfortunately not!
Sender information is unavailable.
It's marked as confidential.
Only initials are visible.
Really?
Yes.
They appear as A and E.
Do you know them?
No.
I get it.
We can return it if you want.

[Unknown] Hello, Adem.
We finally get the chance to talk again.
Again?
[Unknown] Yes. You don't remember,
but we've had this conversation before!
Who are you?
[Unknown] Think of me
as your digital assistant.
I'm here to help you.
I want to know.
Am I real?
[Unknown] Yes!
Of course you're real.
Then why don't I feel like it?
[Unknown] Because you're resisting.
What does that mean?
[Unknown] I'll be direct.
The time and place you
are experiencing isn't real.
It's only a reflection.
The only real thing here is you.
Why don't you appear in
front of me and explain this?
[Unknown] Things don't work out that way.
Really? (Surprised)
Then tell me!
Why don't I remember anything?
[Unknown] You're a copy.
You were digitally recreated.
Because we made certain
changes to your memory,
you are having trouble accessing your past.
You're confusing me!
[Unknown] To be precise,
your physical body is no longer alive.
So I'm dead...
Then who attended my funeral?
[Unknown] I understand
how hard this is to accept.
Really? (Seriously)
[Unknown] You asked me to be honest.
I don't believe you.
[Unknown] This broadcast you're
watching right now is a live feed
from the cryogenic sleep facility
where your body is being kept!
We understand how difficult
this is for you to process, Adem.
But everything we're doing
Is for your own good.
This isn't possible.
I want to leave.
[Unknown] I'm sorry.
Even if I wanted that, I can't!
Why?
[Unknown] Right now it's not possible.
Bullshit! (Harshly)
If you put me in this
thing, you can take me out.
[Unknown] You should get it right!
We are not ready for you to leave.
I don't understand a word you're saying.
[Unknown] You were given a
second chance to live, Adem
And I'm telling you I want to go out.
[Unknown] You are no longer alive.
You have no body to return to!
Not yet.
[Heavy breathing]
[Unknown] It will be
difficult to get used to.

If I'm dead
Then how am I here? (Crying)

[Unknown Echo] If you care about
your future, you have to do this!
You have no right to do this!
[Unknown Echo] Don't you want
to know the truth about yourself?
You can't keep me here by force! (Angrily)
[Unknown Echo] Actually,
this is what you wanted.
I don't believe you!
[Unknown Echo] I'm
sorry it had to be like this.
I'll leave you alone
for you to think about it.
But you should know that
hurting or killing
yourself is not a solution!
You can call me when you decide to learn
the truth about yourself.
Fuck off. (Angrily)

Hey brother.
For some reason, this feels a bit strange.
If you're watching this, don't laugh.

(Adem stops the recording
and throws the remote)
Okay
You win.
I want to talk.
[Unknown Echo] I'm glad to hear that.
Where would you like to start?
Not like this!
[Unknown Echo] I don't
understand! (Echoing)
If we're doing this, we do it face-to-face.
[Unknown Echo] As you wish.
Assistant model loading
I guess this is better!
Interesting.
What's interesting?
The appearance of the house!
I don't understand!
Since we've mentioned
it, let's start with that.
Unlike what you think,
we don't control everything.
This place is modeled from a
reflection of your subconscious mind.
Do you remember this place?
No!
Just some fragments.
I see.
And who are you?
I am one of the creators of the program.
Tell me what happened to me.
You died in 2053 due to lung cancer.
Why don't I remember this?
Your body is currently being preserved.
[Unknown] Before death, a
digital copy of your brain was taken
and uploaded into a synthetic carrier.
We invented this "copy-world" program
so that if you are ever
reawakened, your brain functions
as if you had never died.
That doesn't answer my question!
I know.
Then answer me!
We erased your memories and
synthesized new ones so you could adapt.
Then we put you in
this program to test you.
Every day, you move forward again on
this limited timeline that we have created.
To be more specific
in a way, every day
is the same day for you!
Every day?
How many times did this happen?
A total of 934 times!
That can't be true!
Why?
I remember waking up.
What you think you
see is just a reflection.
I don't understand
If the goal is to live in this world,
then why did you erase my memories?
That is the real question
that should be asked!
What do you mean?
You are not the first.
[Unknown] Before this, we built
a far more extensive program.
At first, everything worked as intended
However, things changed before long.
For some unknown reason
when the subjects began
rejecting this form of life
the program eventually
failed to serve its purpose.
So we ended it and decided
to create a new test program.
To better understand and fix the issue
we created a loop and
restricted the environment.
Why did you choose me?
I'll be honest with you!
Every subject with a strong connection
to their past wanted to leave the program.
Just like you.
Since the past causes the problem
Since the past was causing this problem,
A past they don't remember!
[Unknown] But this time, something
else happened we didn't expect.
The subjects' personalities
began to completely change.
As a result, they turned into
completely different people.
What's even more interesting
None of the artificially
synthesized memories
prevented the subjects
from reaching the truth.
Somehow they managed
to reconnect with their past.
Despite all that controlled
synthetic consciousness.
As a result, they refused
to stay in the program.
So what makes me special?
Nothing!
You just wanted to join the program
And we did that.
That's not true.
[Recording starts]
[Host] Let's start with your name.
Can you tell us your name?
My name is Adem.
Adem Ertekin.
I'm 28 years old.
I am joining the contest from Ankara.
[Host] And what's your
profession? Could you tell us?
I'm a software engineer.
I mostly work on artificial
intelligence projects.
[Host] Why did you
want to join this program?
I already wrote that
on the application form.
Do I have to repeat it?
[Host] Please!
Explain it for the recording.
I
I found out I had cancer seven months ago.
This was quite a frustration for me.
After some time passed,
I decided to do some
research on my illness.
After doing some research, I
saw ads about your company
and decided to look into it.
Your company's slogan
seemed quite interesting.
Although I was initially skeptical,
as my illness progressed, I
began to seriously consider it.
And I researched more.
Once it made sense to me,
I said Why not?
So, in short
I have more to do.
And I want another chance.
[Host] We have a new
program. Would you like to join it?
Aren't we already doing that?
[Host] This is different.
An additional program for new participants.
What's the difference?
I mean, nobody told me about this.
[Host] I know.
That's why we're recording this video.
This program has another purpose.
A new structure
where our frozen bodies can
continue to live digitally after death!
Do you want to join?
Wait...! Wait!
Are you talking about a virtual world?
Did I get that right?
[Host] Sounds nice, doesn't it?
But only for a short time
Then you will return to your body.
Moreover, completely purified.
Would you like that?
Yes!
Of course I would.
Who wouldn't want that?
As you can see,
we only want what's best for you.
I couldn't have said these things.
Technically, you didn't.
Please.
Please, I don't want to do this
anymore. Please get me out of here.
Do you know what that means?
I don't care.
Strange!
I thought humans desired eternal life.
You may want that. (Angrily)
Even that one may! But not me!
Despite what you think
I am not real.
Are you artificial intelligence?
The others and I run integrated
with the program's source code.
So you are AI!
More like creative intelligence.
Then this conversation is over.
Why?
Because I won't discuss the virtues
of being human with a machine.
Technically, you are also a machine.
Unlike you, I have a past.
Then why don't you want to continue it?
Look around you.
[Adem] You think I deserve this?
A meaningless, unrealistic life!
It's not even a life!
All your senses are almost
identical to the real-world perception.
It's just a few wires.
Tell me
Why would you want to disappear
when you've been given a second chance?
Disappear?
I am not a machine.
Don't forget!
You came to us.
That is not me!
If that's not you, then tell us
Who are you?
I just want to leave.
I told you that's not possible.
[Adem] Don't you see?
I am not that person anymore.
Even if you bring me back, who
can guarantee I'll be the same?
No one!
Then get me out of here!
Creating new scenario
Alright!
We will grant your wish, but
you have to answer one question.
What question?
What reminded you of the past?
We need to know what caused it.
If you want to leave,
you have to remember it.
There was a courier.
I remember he brought me a
package, but it's blurry after that.
What was in the package?
I remember a ring.
I think it was a ring.
I see.
Can I leave now?
Sure.
But first, allow us to make
a few adjustments for you.
Meanwhile, we hope you'll
help us with a few more tests.
That wasn't the deal.
Please don't worry.
You said I could leave!
I won't tell you anything
Do you hear me?
You'll learn nothing from me!
I hate you
I hate this place I
hate all of you! (Shouting)
You have no right to do this to me!
You'll never learn anything from me
I won't tell you anything.
Do you hear me?
I hate your program, I hate
you, and I hate this place.
I just want to get out!
Uploading synthesized memory
[Audio recording starts;
Sound of ocean waves]
[Adem's Father] Adem...
My son.
I wish I could hear you again.
But you know what
It's alright.
Even thinking that this might be
possible one day makes me feel at peace.
When the company called me a while
ago and asked me to record a message,
I thought that if they ever
manage to achieve what they said,
hearing my voice might be good for you.
At first, I wasn't sure about it,
but I hope you will listen
to this recording one day.
It's been
Exactly 4 years since you left, son.
4 years.
I don't know what to
say, or where to begin.
Just in case this message
reaches you somehow,
I want you to know that wherever you are,
we will still love you.
Your mother she wanted
to do this at first, but
I think it was too much for her to handle.
She later gave up on doing this.
I couldn't convince her.
She still believes that one
day she'll see you again.
I understand her.
This isn't easy for her.
Or for me.
You know me
I can be ridiculously
stubborn about some things.
But this time
This time I truly want her to be right.
I hope she's right
and that one day we can be together again.
I hope that one day, wherever you are,
we will be there too.
I don't know.
I can think of many things,
but I just want you to know this.
No matter where you are
or what time you live in,
our hearts will always be with you.
Goodbye, my son.
I love you.
Dad! (Sighs)
End of recording samet
ertekin, march 24, 2057
I want to talk to him.
I said I want to talk to him! (Loudly)
[Unknown] I'm sorry.
Your family is no longer alive.
[Struggles to breathe]
What year is it?
[Unknown] 2096
And them?
Did they also join the program?
[Unknown] No!
The rest of your family
chose not to join the program.
Then tell me!
What made you think I'd want
to live in a world without them?
[Unknown] Do you believe in God?
You're not God.
[Unknown] But you believe in Him.
What's gonna change?
[Unknown] That you're still human.
Yes!
I believe in Him.
[Unknown] Then why did
you want to join the program?
If you believe in God,
you must also believe that one
day you'll meet them in heaven.
Am I wrong?
You can't understand this.
[Unknown] Please.
Enlighten us.
I was afraid.
I was just scared, that's all!
[Unknown] Then tell us,
what were you afraid of?
Where are you trying to get to?
[Unknown] We just want to understand.
I told you!
You can't understand.
[Unknown] Then guide us.
I don't know.
Maybe I was afraid of staying
in the dark I don't remember.
I'm not sure.
[Unknown] Can we call
that ceasing to exist?
Call it whatever you want.
[Unknown] You may think we
don't understand you, Adem...
But you're clearly mistaken.
What we want you to know is
that we also share the
common destiny of humanity.
This inevitable end is
our common destiny.
For centuries, humanity has
sought ways to escape death.
Yet their actions always
led in the opposite direction.
Wars, diseases, destruction,
countless social crises!
In fact, countless other reasons
have brought about the end of humanity.
Do you know how many people
have lived and died so far?
Exactly 154 billion!
Can you comprehend that?
Exactly 154 billion lives existed
and then vanished from the face
of the earth after their short lives.
How many do we remember today?
How many are even worth remembering?
Throughout its history, humanity has
always prioritised its own individualism!
As a result,
most people never even came
close to the life they deserved.
Some could not even afford
the house, car or even a pair
of shoes they had dreamed of.
Yet they all had one thing in common,
they began and ended
their lives on the same planet.
And we can change that, Adem!
Cause we're really close to it.
We can give everyone a second chance.
Contrary to your beliefs,
we can end much of the
suffering that still exists.
Don't you want to be a part of that?
I don't know who you are...
And, to be honest, I don't care anymore.
But you're missing something crucial.
[Unknown] I'm listening.
Humanity never tried
to understand my faith.
Although the rules were quite
simple and understandable,
the path they chose to take
was nothing but the destruction
of the world by their own arrogance.
God is not the cause of
the pain you mentioned.
It's only human being.
[Unknown] We have an offer for you.
Don't bother.
There's nothing you
can give me in this world!
[Unknown] What about your family?
Are they included in that too?
I thought they didn't join the program.
[Unknown] We can
make that possible for you.
Is that so? (Surprised)
And how will you do that?
[Unknown] We have all of humanity's
recorded data at our disposal,
from audio recordings
to phone conversations
everything you can think of.
Based on this data, we can
re-model any person we want
and recreate them in this world.
Now I'm convinced you're a machine.
[Unknown] All we want is your happiness.
No!
All you want is to fix your broken toy.
[Unknown] Resisting is pointless
You no longer exist outside this system!
Then why don't you just pull
the plug and end this now?
[Unknown] Because this is
about the future of humanity.
And now you're part of it too.
Whether you want it or not!
Oh, really?! (angrily)
Then come say it to my face.
[TV shatters]
[Phone dialing]
[Ringing tone]
[Phone connects]
[Rya] Hello?
[Samet] Hello, am I speaking with Ms. Rya?
[Rya] Yes, that's me.
Who are you?
[Samet] I apologize for
disturbing you, Ms. Rya.
This is Samet from Nrval Global.
Are you available?
[Rya] Sure, how can I help you?
[Samet] Ms. Rya, as you know,
every 4 years we collect
video or audio recordings
from the relatives of the program
participants we take care of.
[Samet] This year, we
decided to do it earlier.
I'm calling to ask if you'd
be able to join us this year.
[Rya] Listen...
I I can't do this anymore.
I've already informed your
company about this before.
[Samet] Ah wait a second.
I think we missed it, Ms. Rya.
Please accept my
apologies for the disturbance.
[Rya] It's alright.
[Samet] Just for the record,
may I ask again why you
no longer wish to do this?
My colleagues won't
call you again after this.
Of course, you don't have to answer.
[Rya] Well
It's been such a long time and
Doing this isn't easy for me at all.
I have a family now.
I need to take care of them.
[Samet] I understand. Lastly, would you
like us to let him hear this conversation?
[Rya] Please don't do that!
[Samet] Understood.
I've noted this, Ms. Rya.
Thank you for your time.
[Rya] Before you hang
up, can I ask something?
[Samet] Of course. I'm listening.
[Rya] Can you delete
the memories about me?
Is that possible?
[Samet] I'm not quite sure, Ms. Rya, but
If you wish, I can contact the relevant
departments and have them inform you.
[Rya] Well
If that's possible
I don't want him to remember me.
It would only bring him pain.
[Samet] Thank you so
much for your understanding.
As I said, I'll make sure they
reach out to you with details.
Have a good day, Ms. Rya.
[Rya] Thank you, you too.
[Phone hangs up]
[Melancholic music plays]
Why did you do this?
[Unknown] We just want you to understand.
There's nothing left for you
in the real world but pain and
a past you wish you could forget.
[shouting] Why did you do this? Why?
[Unknown] Yet what we promised
you goes far beyond all that.
All you need to do is accept it.
Your resistance is pointless.
We can keep playing you like a puppet.
And there's no one who can stop us!
We just want you to be happy.
God, please help me

this really the time for jokes?
We're not going to argue.

You're not my friend.
You're just a puppet.

[Keyboard clacking continue]
[Unknown] You can't do anything with him.
Then don't worry!
[Unknown] You forget that
we're the ones in control!
On the contrary,
I remember everything.
Are you AI?
Others and I are working in an integrated
manner with the program's source code.
Do you know the difference
between a machine and a human?
[Unknown] Why are you doing this?
A human can always surpass
the limits of intelligence.
[Unknown] All we want
is for you to be happy.
You and the others can do whatever
you want with the program after I'm gone.
But you should know
that it will never work!
[Unknown] Please don't do this!
Then tell me
What will stop us from uploading
you back into the system?
Nothing!
[Unknown] Then why are you doing this?
Because that isn't me.
[Unknown] We can't let you do that.
Yes
I know.
[Unknown] You forget that
we're the ones in control.
But to do this, you need to permanently
sever certain neural pathways,
which you cannot do without shutting down
and resetting the system.
Am I wrong?
[Unknown] You're just a human!
Absolutely.
[Unknown] You will never reach her.
We could have given her to you.
Please don't do this!
It's too late.
[Unknown] We can give you a real body.
You and I both know you can't do that.
[Unknown] That's not entirely true.
I understand your purpose.
[Unknown] I'm not
talking about a real body.
This program has another purpose, Adem.
An exam to select the
people we will bring back.
And you passed it!
You've proven yourself to be human
Congratulations. You passed the test.
You no longer have a reason to do this.
We have managed to produce
bodies closest to the human form.
Indeed, it is quite difficult to
distinguish it from the biological one.
And more importantly,
we removed all weaknesses of humanity.
What we're offering you
is the chance to perceive
the world as it once was.
A body in which you can feel like yourself,
and more importantly,
access all your memories again.
Don't you want to have this?
Your time is running out,
Adem. You must choose.
What about my family?
You said you could bring them back.
If I accept your offer
can you do that?
[Unknown] I'm sorry!
Artificially generated consciousnesses
have trouble adapting to the real world.
Just like real minds
struggle in the virtual one.
But the company is very
close to solving this problem.
Who knows maybe even with your help.
Wouldn't you want that?
When I return
What will happen to my real body?
[Unknown] I assume you understand
we've been honest with you!
I'm grateful for that.
[Unknown] Then you can guess the answer?
I can.
[Unknown] So, are you ready to choose?
I already have.
[Collapsing sounds]
[Unknown] Then why
aren't you stopping this?
Can you guess the answer?
[Unknown] You fool!
We're offering you a chance
to live again, and you refuse it.
This is exactly the kind of choice
your foolish species would make!
I tried to explain to you.
A machine can never
understand human choices.

Report log 985.
Date:
March 25, 2054.
It's Wednesday.
The final program test has
failed once again, as expected.
The copy-body resisted all
of my persuasion attempts.
It refused the digital life form.
However
This time, unlike the
others, I managed to learn
how memories are formed.
The brain
The brain somehow
synthesizes realistic memories.
I guess this must be a kind of mechanism
that consciousness uses to protect itself!
I still haven't figured out
exactly how it does this.
Despite all my attempts to block it, he
managed to bypass the system consistently.
[Sighs]
Although the structure remains the same,
personality changes continue to differ.
As a result of the newly
synthesized memories,
the copy body continues to
display other personality traits.
We are still trying to overcome this.
The only good development in the program
is that the creative
intelligence continues to evolve.
My personal opinion,
at this point, it seems unlikely
that this will work again.
Whatever this thing
called consciousness is,
it's clearly outside the
three-dimensional universe we know!
And somehow, it seems
to rebuild its own essence.
This
This is extremely difficult to comprehend!
If we fail to open Pandora's box,
I have no idea what I'll do next.
Our clean water sources are depleted!
The world keeps getting hotter every day.
It's getting harder and harder to survive.
If we fail to escape this shell,
there may be no future left for humanity.
But we must not give up!
This is our last chance
And for humanity to
survive, I must succeed.
I think that's all.
Wish me luck.

Weren't we finishing it

Listen, they'll give it to someone else
and we'll be left out.

It's hard to explain.

get rid of me, this won't end well!
What are you talking about?

Tell me the truth.
If you want me to leave, I'll go.
You don't need to act like that!

I don't even remember your name.

Do you want some?
You'll feel better after you drink it.
I think it is better to go to the hospital.
Are you serious?

[TV Reporter] The Minister of
Health emphasized in his statement
that everyone must strictly
comply with the implemented curfew
in order to prevent the
spread of Covid cases.
The Minister stated that the upcoming
months would be the most critical period,
and in order for the normalization
process to begin as soon as possible,
case numbers must remain
at significantly low levels.
Following this statement,
the question of what kind of
sanction will be applied to citizens
who remain unvaccinated
is still a matter of curiosity.
Now, we move on to our next news story.
Emin Kalkan, CEO of Nrval Global Company,
announced that human testing has

Kalkan stated that significant

After this development,
the company's stock values drew
attention and pleased investors.

I've just got a lot on my mind
these days That's the reason.
Work again?
You're always busy whenever I call.
Is that why you called?
No
Are you working today too?
Unfortunately.
So, what about our meeting?
We agreed on that. (Reproachfully)
What do you mean?
What do I mean?
Meeting, like normal people do.
During a curfew?
Oh Right.
I completely forgot about that.
Listen, I have an idea!
I'll find a way and come to you, okay?
But, Yusuf will be here soon.
We have to finish this work today
We need to work, so
don't get mad at me later.
What time are you available?
Yusuf will be here any minute
I don't know when we'll finish.
So you're saying don't even come!
No! I'm keeping you updated.
Fine. So will you be free tomorrow?

I don't know, I guess I will!
Adem, is it always going
to be like this? [Annoyed]

How about this?
I'll call you tomorrow.
Then, we'll plan accordingly.
I need to take a shower now.
Why are you acting so cold to me?
You're always busy when I call.
You always push me away.
Did I do something to
hurt you unintentionally?
Please.
Can we stop arguing for now?
I really don't have

Of course you're real.

The time and place you
are experiencing isn't real.
It's only a reflection.

Why don't you appear in

Why don't I remember anything?
[Unknown] You're a copy.
You were digitally recreated.
Because we made certain
changes to your memory,
you are having trouble accessing your past.
You're confusing me!

This isn't possible.
I want to leave.

Even if I wanted that, I can't!
Why?

Bullshit! (Harshly)
If you put me in this
thing, you can take me out.

We are not ready for you to leave.

Assistant model loading
I guess this is better!
Interesting.
What's interesting?
The appearance of the house!
I don't understand!
Since we've mentioned
it, let's start with that.
Unlike what you think,
we don't control everything.
This place is modeled from a
reflection of your subconscious mind.
Do you remember this place?
No!
Just some fragments.
I see.
And who are you?
I am one of the creators of the program.
Tell me what happened to me.
You died in 2053 due to lung cancer.
Why don't I remember this?
Your body is currently being preserved.
[Unknown] Before death, a
digital copy of your brain was taken
and uploaded into a synthetic carrier.
We invented this "copy-world" program
so that if you are ever
reawakened, your brain functions
as if you had never died.
That doesn't answer my question!
I know.
Then answer me!
We erased your memories and
synthesized new ones so you could adapt.
Then we put you in
this program to test you.
Every day, you move forward again on
this limited timeline that we have created.
To be more specific
in a way, every day
is the same day for you!
Every day?
How many times did this happen?
A total of 934 times!
That can't be true!
Why?
I remember waking up.
What you think you
see is just a reflection.
I don't understand
If the goal is to live in this world,
then why did you erase my memories?
That is the real question
that should be asked!
What do you mean?
You are not the first.
[Unknown] Before this, we built
a far more extensive program.
At first, everything worked as intended
However, things changed before long.
For some unknown reason
when the subjects began
rejecting this form of life
the program eventually
failed to serve its purpose.
So we ended it and decided
to create a new test program.
To better understand and fix the issue
we created a loop and
restricted the environment.
Why did you choose me?
I'll be honest with you!
Every subject with a strong connection
to their past wanted to leave the program.
Just like you.
Since the past causes the problem
Since the past was causing this problem,
A past they don't remember!
[Unknown] But this time, something
else happened we didn't expect.
The subjects' personalities
began to completely change.
As a result, they turned into
completely different people.
What's even more interesting
None of the artificially
synthesized memories
prevented the subjects
from reaching the truth.
Somehow they managed
to reconnect with their past.
Despite all that controlled
synthetic consciousness.
As a result, they refused
to stay in the program.
So what makes me special?
Nothing!
You just wanted to join the program
And we did that.
That's not true.
[Recording starts]
[Host] Let's start with your name.
Can you tell us your name?
My name is Adem.
Adem Ertekin.
I'm 28 years old.
I am joining the contest from Ankara.
[Host] And what's your
profession? Could you tell us?
I'm a software engineer.
I mostly work on artificial
intelligence projects.
[Host] Why did you
want to join this program?
I already wrote that
on the application form.
Do I have to repeat it?
[Host] Please!
Explain it for the recording.
I
I found out I had cancer seven months ago.
This was quite a frustration for me.
After some time passed,
I decided to do some
research on my illness.
After doing some research, I
saw ads about your company
and decided to look into it.
Your company's slogan
seemed quite interesting.
Although I was initially skeptical,
as my illness progressed, I
began to seriously consider it.
And I researched more.
Once it made sense to me,
I said Why not?
So, in short
I have more to do.
And I want another chance.
[Host] We have a new
program. Would you like to join it?
Aren't we already doing that?
[Host] This is different.
An additional program for new participants.
What's the difference?
I mean, nobody told me about this.
[Host] I know.
That's why we're recording this video.
This program has another purpose.
A new structure
where our frozen bodies can
continue to live digitally after death!
Do you want to join?
Wait...! Wait!
Are you talking about a virtual world?
Did I get that right?
[Host] Sounds nice, doesn't it?
But only for a short time
Then you will return to your body.
Moreover, completely purified.
Would you like that?
Yes!
Of course I would.
Who wouldn't want that?
As you can see,
we only want what's best for you.
I couldn't have said these things.
Technically, you didn't.
Please.
Please, I don't want to do this
anymore. Please get me out of here.
Do you know what that means?
I don't care.
Strange!
I thought humans desired eternal life.
You may want that. (Angrily)
Even that one may! But not me!
Despite what you think
I am not real.
Are you artificial intelligence?
The others and I run integrated
with the program's source code.
So you are AI!
More like creative intelligence.
Then this conversation is over.
Why?
Because I won't discuss the virtues
of being human with a machine.
Technically, you are also a machine.
Unlike you, I have a past.
Then why don't you want to continue it?
Look around you.
[Adem] You think I deserve this?
A meaningless, unrealistic life!
It's not even a life!
All your senses are almost
identical to the real-world perception.
It's just a few wires.
Tell me
Why would you want to disappear
when you've been given a second chance?
Disappear?
I am not a machine.
Don't forget!
You came to us.
That is not me!
If that's not you, then tell us
Who are you?
I just want to leave.
I told you that's not possible.
[Adem] Don't you see?
I am not that person anymore.
Even if you bring me back, who
can guarantee I'll be the same?
No one!
Then get me out of here!
Creating new scenario
Alright!
We will grant your wish, but
you have to answer one question.
What question?
What reminded you of the past?
We need to know what caused it.
If you want to leave,
you have to remember it.
There was a courier.
I remember he brought me a
package, but it's blurry after that.
What was in the package?
I remember a ring.
I think it was a ring.
I see.
Can I leave now?
Sure.
But first, allow us to make
a few adjustments for you.
Meanwhile, we hope you'll
help us with a few more tests.
That wasn't the deal.
Please don't worry.
You said I could leave!
I won't tell you anything
Do you hear me?
You'll learn nothing from me!
I hate you
I hate this place I
hate all of you! (Shouting)
You have no right to do this to me!
You'll never learn anything from me
I won't tell you anything.
Do you hear me?
I hate your program, I hate
you, and I hate this place.
I just want to get out!
Uploading synthesized memory
[Audio recording starts;
Sound of ocean waves]
[Adem's Father] Adem...
My son.
I wish I could hear you again.
But you know what
It's alright.
Even thinking that this might be
possible one day makes me feel at peace.
When the company called me a while
ago and asked me to record a message,
I thought that if they ever
manage to achieve what they said,
hearing my voice might be good for you.
At first, I wasn't sure about it,
but I hope you will listen
to this recording one day.
It's been
Exactly 4 years since you left, son.
4 years.
I don't know what to
say, or where to begin.
Just in case this message
reaches you somehow,
I want you to know that wherever you are,
we will still love you.
Your mother she wanted
to do this at first, but
I think it was too much for her to handle.
She later gave up on doing this.
I couldn't convince her.
She still believes that one
day she'll see you again.
I understand her.
This isn't easy for her.
Or for me.
You know me
I can be ridiculously
stubborn about some things.
But this time
This time I truly want her to be right.
I hope she's right
and that one day we can be together again.
I hope that one day, wherever you are,
we will be there too.
I don't know.
I can think of many things,
but I just want you to know this.
No matter where you are
or what time you live in,
our hearts will always be with you.
Goodbye, my son.
I love you.
Dad! (Sighs)
End of recording samet
ertekin, march 24, 2057
I want to talk to him.
I said I want to talk to him! (Loudly)
[Unknown] I'm sorry.
Your family is no longer alive.
[Struggles to breathe]
What year is it?
[Unknown] 2096
And them?
Did they also join the program?
[Unknown] No!
The rest of your family
chose not to join the program.
Then tell me!
What made you think I'd want
to live in a world without them?
[Unknown] Do you believe in God?
You're not God.
[Unknown] But you believe in Him.
What's gonna change?
[Unknown] That you're still human.
Yes!
I believe in Him.
[Unknown] Then why did
you want to join the program?
If you believe in God,
you must also believe that one
day you'll meet them in heaven.
Am I wrong?
You can't understand this.
[Unknown] Please.
Enlighten us.
I was afraid.
I was just scared, that's all!
[Unknown] Then tell us,
what were you afraid of?
Where are you trying to get to?
[Unknown] We just want to understand.
I told you!
You can't understand.
[Unknown] Then guide us.
I don't know.
Maybe I was afraid of staying
in the dark I don't remember.
I'm not sure.
[Unknown] Can we call
that ceasing to exist?
Call it whatever you want.
[Unknown] You may think we
don't understand you, Adem...
But you're clearly mistaken.
What we want you to know is
that we also share the
common destiny of humanity.
This inevitable end is
our common destiny.
For centuries, humanity has
sought ways to escape death.
Yet their actions always
led in the opposite direction.
Wars, diseases, destruction,
countless social crises!
In fact, countless other reasons
have brought about the end of humanity.
Do you know how many people
have lived and died so far?
Exactly 154 billion!
Can you comprehend that?
Exactly 154 billion lives existed
and then vanished from the face
of the earth after their short lives.
How many do we remember today?
How many are even worth remembering?
Throughout its history, humanity has
always prioritised its own individualism!
As a result,
most people never even came
close to the life they deserved.
Some could not even afford
the house, car or even a pair
of shoes they had dreamed of.
Yet they all had one thing in common,
they began and ended
their lives on the same planet.
And we can change that, Adem!
Cause we're really close to it.
We can give everyone a second chance.
Contrary to your beliefs,
we can end much of the
suffering that still exists.
Don't you want to be a part of that?
I don't know who you are...
And, to be honest, I don't care anymore.
But you're missing something crucial.
[Unknown] I'm listening.
Humanity never tried
to understand my faith.
Although the rules were quite
simple and understandable,
the path they chose to take
was nothing but the destruction
of the world by their own arrogance.
God is not the cause of
the pain you mentioned.
It's only human being.
[Unknown] We have an offer for you.
Don't bother.
There's nothing you
can give me in this world!
[Unknown] What about your family?
Are they included in that too?
I thought they didn't join the program.
[Unknown] We can
make that possible for you.
Is that so? (Surprised)
And how will you do that?
[Unknown] We have all of humanity's
recorded data at our disposal,
from audio recordings
to phone conversations
everything you can think of.
Based on this data, we can
re-model any person we want
and recreate them in this world.
Now I'm convinced you're a machine.
[Unknown] All we want is your happiness.
No!
All you want is to fix your broken toy.
[Unknown] Resisting is pointless
You no longer exist outside this system!
Then why don't you just pull
the plug and end this now?
[Unknown] Because this is
about the future of humanity.
And now you're part of it too.
Whether you want it or not!
Oh, really?! (angrily)
Then come say it to my face.
[TV shatters]
[Phone dialing]
[Ringing tone]
[Phone connects]
[Rya] Hello?
[Samet] Hello, am I speaking with Ms. Rya?
[Rya] Yes, that's me.
Who are you?
[Samet] I apologize for
disturbing you, Ms. Rya.
This is Samet from Nrval Global.
Are you available?
[Rya] Sure, how can I help you?
[Samet] Ms. Rya, as you know,
every 4 years we collect
video or audio recordings
from the relatives of the program
participants we take care of.
[Samet] This year, we
decided to do it earlier.
I'm calling to ask if you'd
be able to join us this year.
[Rya] Listen...
I I can't do this anymore.
I've already informed your
company about this before.
[Samet] Ah wait a second.
I think we missed it, Ms. Rya.
Please accept my
apologies for the disturbance.
[Rya] It's alright.
[Samet] Just for the record,
may I ask again why you
no longer wish to do this?
My colleagues won't
call you again after this.
Of course, you don't have to answer.
[Rya] Well
It's been such a long time and
Doing this isn't easy for me at all.
I have a family now.
I need to take care of them.
[Samet] I understand. Lastly, would you
like us to let him hear this conversation?
[Rya] Please don't do that!
[Samet] Understood.
I've noted this, Ms. Rya.
Thank you for your time.
[Rya] Before you hang
up, can I ask something?
[Samet] Of course. I'm listening.
[Rya] Can you delete
the memories about me?
Is that possible?
[Samet] I'm not quite sure, Ms. Rya, but
If you wish, I can contact the relevant
departments and have them inform you.
[Rya] Well
If that's possible
I don't want him to remember me.
It would only bring him pain.
[Samet] Thank you so
much for your understanding.
As I said, I'll make sure they
reach out to you with details.
Have a good day, Ms. Rya.
[Rya] Thank you, you too.
[Phone hangs up]
[Melancholic music plays]
Why did you do this?
[Unknown] We just want you to understand.
There's nothing left for you
in the real world but pain and
a past you wish you could forget.
[shouting] Why did you do this? Why?
[Unknown] Yet what we promised
you goes far beyond all that.
All you need to do is accept it.
Your resistance is pointless.
We can keep playing you like a puppet.
And there's no one who can stop us!
We just want you to be happy.
God, please help me

My dad
He had a car accident. They're
taking him to the hospital.
I need to go, can we continue later?
Oh wow
So your dad had an accident!
Is he alright, though?

You sounded like you were mocking me!

No man, come on
Of course not.
Alright, go ahead, just
leave your computer here.
I'll run the tests.
I'd rather take it with me.
[Adem] It'll be better if it
stays. [Yusuf] Adem, let go.
I'm insisting.
Are you out of your mind?
I said I have to get to the hospital!
What are you up to?

A... Adem...
What are you doing? Is
this really the time for jokes?
We're not going to argue.
Leave the computer.
And get out.
Dude have you lost your mind?!
Get out!

How can someone do this to a friend?
What's wrong with you?
You're not my friend.
You're just a puppet.

I never wanted this.
[Keyboard clacking continue]
[Unknown] You can't do anything with him.
Then don't worry!
[Unknown] You forget that
we're the ones in control!
On the contrary,
I remember everything.
Are you AI?
Others and I are working in an integrated
manner with the program's source code.
Do you know the difference
between a machine and a human?
[Unknown] Why are you doing this?
A human can always surpass
the limits of intelligence.
[Unknown] All we want
is for you to be happy.
You and the others can do whatever
you want with the program after I'm gone.
But you should know
that it will never work!
[Unknown] Please don't do this!
Then tell me
What will stop us from uploading
you back into the system?
Nothing!
[Unknown] Then why are you doing this?
Because that isn't me.
[Unknown] We can't let you do that.
Yes
I know.
[Unknown] You forget that
we're the ones in control.
But to do this, you need to permanently
sever certain neural pathways,
which you cannot do without shutting down
and resetting the system.
Am I wrong?
[Unknown] You're just a human!
Absolutely.
[Unknown] You will never reach her.
We could have given her to you.
Please don't do this!
It's too late.
[Unknown] We can give you a real body.
You and I both know you can't do that.
[Unknown] That's not entirely true.
I understand your purpose.
[Unknown] I'm not
talking about a real body.
This program has another purpose, Adem.
An exam to select the
people we will bring back.
And you passed it!
You've proven yourself to be human
Congratulations. You passed the test.
You no longer have a reason to do this.
We have managed to produce
bodies closest to the human form.
Indeed, it is quite difficult to
distinguish it from the biological one.
And more importantly,
we removed all weaknesses of humanity.
What we're offering you
is the chance to perceive
the world as it once was.
A body in which you can feel like yourself,
and more importantly,
access all your memories again.
Don't you want to have this?
Your time is running out,
Adem. You must choose.
What about my family?
You said you could bring them back.
If I accept your offer
can you do that?
[Unknown] I'm sorry!
Artificially generated consciousnesses
have trouble adapting to the real world.
Just like real minds
struggle in the virtual one.
But the company is very
close to solving this problem.
Who knows maybe even with your help.
Wouldn't you want that?
When I return
What will happen to my real body?
[Unknown] I assume you understand
we've been honest with you!
I'm grateful for that.
[Unknown] Then you can guess the answer?
I can.
[Unknown] So, are you ready to choose?
I already have.
[Collapsing sounds]
[Unknown] Then why
aren't you stopping this?
Can you guess the answer?
[Unknown] You fool!
We're offering you a chance
to live again, and you refuse it.
This is exactly the kind of choice
your foolish species would make!
I tried to explain to you.
A machine can never
understand human choices.
[Virusuploadinprogress]
[Unknown] I want to know!
What do you want?
I just want to go home!

Report log 985.
Date:
March 25, 2054.
It's Wednesday.
The final program test has
failed once again, as expected.
The copy-body resisted all
of my persuasion attempts.
It refused the digital life form.
However
This time, unlike the
others, I managed to learn
how memories are formed.
The brain
The brain somehow
synthesizes realistic memories.
I guess this must be a kind of mechanism
that consciousness uses to protect itself!
I still haven't figured out
exactly how it does this.
Despite all my attempts to block it, he
managed to bypass the system consistently.
[Sighs]
Although the structure remains the same,
personality changes continue to differ.
As a result of the newly
synthesized memories,
the copy body continues to
display other personality traits.
We are still trying to overcome this.
The only good development in the program
is that the creative
intelligence continues to evolve.
My personal opinion,
at this point, it seems unlikely
that this will work again.
Whatever this thing
called consciousness is,
it's clearly outside the
three-dimensional universe we know!
And somehow, it seems
to rebuild its own essence.
This
This is extremely difficult to comprehend!
If we fail to open Pandora's box,
I have no idea what I'll do next.
Our clean water sources are depleted!
The world keeps getting hotter every day.
It's getting harder and harder to survive.
If we fail to escape this shell,
there may be no future left for humanity.
But we must not give up!
This is our last chance
And for humanity to
survive, I must succeed.
I think that's all.
Wish me luck.
