[woman sighs] Hey, Nont.
Come here. Listen, I have good news.
[breathes in] Nont, I was actually right!
A low gravitational force enables
the cardiomyocytes to form into a heart
better than on earth.
[breathes in] Once I've carried out
a proteomic analysis
and get a full picture
of the underlying mechanism,
we'll be able to 3D print actual hearts.
No longer will there be
donor waiting lists.
When I get back to Earth,
I'll hurl these hearts
back at those old dinosaurs
who said my work
will never come to anything.
I'll make them hang their heads in shame.
That sounds good. I'm with you.
[chuckles]
Oh, now that you can print
hearts on demand,
don't forget this old heart of mine.
Okay?
[sighs]
- [chuckles]
- [gentle bark]
Hey!
[Nont grunts]
[dog whines]
Harvey!
Aww!
Sure, go on and pet him.
You've been trying to pet him
for three years, but you can't.
I can imagine.
[dog whines]
[woman] Do you miss your mom? Hey?
[mimicking Harvey] Oh, I miss you so much.
Please, come back soon.
I've got a gift for you.
What?
[Nont] Here we are. Aw!
[chuckles]
[Nont] Harvey bought it, you know?
Oh, yes, he knows what his mom likes.
He often complains
that he feels bad for his mom
missing out on her favorite snack.
Because ISA forbids it in space.
They say that if you bite into it,
it will turn into
Turn into what, Harvey?
Aw! Woof.
Into nanoparticles that can clog up
the engine of the spaceship.
Aww!
[dog whining]
Oh, funny!
Watch it.
[Nont chuckling]
Nont.
Thank you.
For what? For the snack?
Not that.
I'm serious.
Well
for letting me come out here
to follow my dream.
[pensive music playing]
There's no one else in this world,
other than you,
who would just let me be myself.
Also
I'm sorry.
Hey!
Why are you sorry?
You're back in 10 days, aren't you?
Mm-hmm.
When I'm back,
I'm going to make everything up to you.
I'll be all yours,
yours and only yours.
Pinky promise?
Our pinkies don't touch.
Use your imagination.
- [woman] I'll talk to you later.
- Bye.
Yeah. Bye.

[female newsreader]
No one expected this
to be the final voyage for the astronaut
Doctor Kanitthapada Sompong Na Dara,
known as Dr Noon,
the first female Thai astronaut.
[male newsreader]
The International Space Agency said
that as the space shuttle
was re entering the earth's atmosphere,
a fire broke out in the air supply system,
which led to the premature depletion
of the oxygen supplies
for the astronauts prior to landing.
[sad, nostalgic music playing]
[female newsreader] Doctor Noon's body
has been preserved using cryonics
in preparation
for 100-day-long funeral rites,
before cremation is carried out
in accordance with Buddhist practices.
Her husband, Mr. Nont, has just come out.
Let's hear what he has to say.
[newsreader] Who do you think
should take responsibility for this?
- [reporter 1] Do you miss her?
- [reporter 2] Why will you do that?
- [reporter 3] Why didn't you stop her?
- [reporter 4] Did you ever try?
Why didn't you stop her going to space?
- [reporter 4] Any comments?
- How do you feel? Anything to say?
[reporter 6] Did you?
- [man] Mr. Nont, why did you not stop her?
- [woman] Any comment?
[man] Mr. Nont, you're not saying
anything. Can we get a comment?
Mr. Nont, a comment, please.
[woman] Are you okay?
[man] Mr. Nont. Mr. Nont!

TWO MONTHS LATER
[gentle, nostalgic music playing]
[Nont] Do you like this picture?
I noticed you've been staring at it.
Uh
this is my design.
Oh.
I see.
I'm kind of curious why you designed it
in this way.
If you look at the others,
virtually all of them are ultra modern.
[Nont chuckles]
- This is different.
- [man] So I put it here.
Is there a concept behind it?
[Nont] Um
To be honest, there's not much to it.
I was reflecting on
the feelings of the people
who will live on the moon.
How lonely they will be.
They'll be homesick,
missing life on Earth.
So I thought of a house design
where they'll feel less homesick
when they live there.
I guess.
[gentle piano music playing]
To tell you the truth,
there's not much to it.
It was for my thesis.
[clicks tongue] I just went
with my feelings.
In reality,
I doubt it could be constructed.
I guess.
It sounds crazy, doesn't it?
Not really.
In fact, ISA has plans to establish
permanent human residences on the moon.
In fact, they've been surveying
and planning for several years.
And the human factor
is considered one of the top priorities.
Because when humans go there,
the place should feel like home to them.
The home you envisioned
might seem a little out there.
My opinion is that it hits
the brief for a human habitat,
for those who actually go
to live on the moon.
[chuckles]
I'm nerdy.
I don't think so.
- [chuckles]
- [sighs]
Mmm Well,
if I ever
get to live on the moon one day,
I'd like
to have a house that's cozy like that.
A real home to live in,
just like the one you designed.
[Nont] Mm. [chuckles]
Oh, gosh.
So, was your professor critical of you?
[chuckles] The other works
are all quite serious.
What do you think?
As you can see,
they placed my piece at the rear.
[chuckles]
Oh!
I'm Nont.
Architecture major.
I see.
I'm Noon,
med student.
I see.
That old rundown building.
[music continues to play]
- Yeah.
- [both chuckle]
- [persistent beeping]
- [muffled explosion]
[silence]
[gentle, somber music playing]
[sighs]
[computerized whir]
[bleep notifications play]
[crowd applauding, cheering]
[somber music playing]
[Nont] Let's grow old together.
I'll take care of you.
[Nont panting]
- Noon.
- What?
[Nont] Let's take a break.
- I'm tired.
- [Noon] Come on you're so lame.
- Man up.
- [Nont] Ah, give me a break. [chuckles]
- Come on.
- [Nont] Ah!
- [Noon] Let's go. Hurry up.
- You have no mercy.
[Noon] Come on.
It's good for your heart. Keep going.
- [Nont] Oh gosh.
- [Noon] Let's go. Move it.
- Are you okay?
- [Nont] We can try the treadmill.
- We got a double-yolk egg.
- [Nont] Let me see.
Mmm, looks appetizing,
but we eat fried eggs a lot.
I'm getting sick of them.
I'm craving some other round things.
Aren't you, Busty?
Other round things?
How about we have this?
- Noon.
- Yes.
- [Nont] Your friend's here.
- Who is it?
[gasps] Aww!
[Nont] Hey! [chuckles]
- Daddy deserves a reward. Give him a kiss.
- [Nont] No way. No kiss. No, go away.
[Noon] Kiss him. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
[chuckles]
- Harvey! Good boy.
- [Nont] What? Harvey?
[Noon] Harvey.
- [Nont] You've named him?
- Yes.
- [Nont] That was fast.
- How cute.
[notification bleep]
[music continues to play]
[Noon] Gosh.
But if I go
we won't get to see
each other for three years.
If I stay out all the way out there,
you'll be all alone.
It's not fair on you
to have to wait for me.
I'm not going.
But Noon you can't be serious.
ISA reached out to you personally.
This is a rare opportunity.
You should go.
I know you want to.
Hm?
If you don't pursue your dream,
I'll be unhappy as well.
Just go.
When you return,
we'll still have the rest of our lives.
It's only three years.
We'll be fine.
[sobbing]
[Noon sobbing]
[crying]
Harvey.
[Nont] Harvey is now in a better place.
[Noon sobbing]
[Noon crying inconsolably]
[dog whining]
[somber music playing]
[rewinding notification]
[Nont] I'll buy you a new one.
Harvey is now in a better place.
[Noon continues to sob]
[Nont] Harvey is now in a better place.
[tape stops]
[female voice over PA] Welcome
to Sheep Happens, where cloning is caring.
Using ingenious AI technology
to control the CRISPR
gene editing process.
A technology owned by Sheep Happens.
We can, in this way, assure
that your beloved pets
will come back to life
with 100% of their original memories.
- [man] Hey there. Do you remember me?
- [man 2] Welcome back.
Any problems, bring it back here, anytime.
[man] Tank, do you remember
your daddy, Tank?
[man 2] How you doing?
[whirring]
[woman] Nont?
Are you here to get Harvey vaccinated?
How are you coping?
Are you feeling better?
I came today
to ask you for a favor.
What is it?
[electronic swish]
[footsteps approaching]
[woman] Excuse me, Dr. Vee,
the Siamese cat-cloning trial has failed.
[Vee] How could it?
- [footsteps receding]
- [electronic swish]
I want you to clone Noon.
[tense music playing]
Nont.
This isn't something to joke about.
I'm not joking, Vee.
I mean it.
You do know
that human cloning is illegal, right?
I do know that, but
How much would it cost
to make a clone of Noon?
- Just give me the number.
- Noon. Noon, Noon, Noon.
Get a grip.
Look. I can understand how upset you are
because you just lost Noon.
But how could you be certain that Noon
would agree to what you're suggesting.
I'm sure she'd be okay with it.
Her research focused
on printing 3D hearts.
Her view was
that human body parts are replaceable.
You know that.
Did you see the news?
On the news, everyone was grieving
the loss of her talent.
What she was working on, if it succeeds,
could help so many millions of people.
What reason would anyone have
not to bring Noon back?
You're a scientist, just like her.
You understand, don't you?
Didn't you tell Noon?
That you didn't want to stop
at dog and cat cloning?
[music continues to play]
I can't help you with this.
[music fading]
[sighs deeply]
You still remember Noon's question
about the doctor and the criminal?
My answer remains the same.
As I gave her that day.
[sighs]
[Noon] Imagine you're a surgeon
about to treat another doctor,
and they've had
a congestion heart failure.
This doctor is a genius,
well-liked and has saved countless lives.
There's only one viable
treatment option for this doctor,
which is an emergency heart transplant
to be done right away.
But at the same time, it just so happens
that a suspected murderer
is shot by police and sent to you.
His heart would take
if it was to be transplanted
directly into the doctor.
What would you do?
Who's inclined to save the doctor?
Show of hands.
[crowd murmuring softly]
You, sir, what do you say?
Where do you stand?
Well that doctor is a lovely,
and a hero, like you are as well.
So helping the doctor is a no-brainer.
[audience laughs softly]
Don't get mad. It's a joke.
Um I'd probably want to save the doctor.
Because they are obviously more capable
and knowledgeable than I am.
If you save the doctor,
they could continue to live on
and then make the world better.
[audience applauding]
Okay, right?
In fact, this conundrum
is actually a classic one.
No answer is fully wrong or fully right.
Wouldn't it be better
not to have to decide
which one to save?
[crowd murmuring]
3D organ printing
[music sting]
is an idea conceived
to tackle this very issue.
[crowd gasping]
The 3D-printed heart
is made from the patients own cells,
which means, one,
a donor is not necessary.
The patient's not
waiting for a donor to die.
Two, we know for sure
that the created heart
will be compatible with the patient
and will not be rejected,
because it's grown from their own body.
Organ printing is not an original idea.
But no one has, as yet, succeeded.
This is because when we print an organ,
The gravity of earth
presses down on the cells
causing them to grow in a flat shape.
Because of this,
they are unable to assemble into 3D.
And now, after a five-year study,
we are able to test
the bioprinter in outer space,
to test if these organs can be created,
then how we successfully make
it work back on earth.
I must honestly say
I am very excited about our discoveries.
And this time,
our hard work will be a success.
This journey
will give humanity
breakthroughs and glimpses
into an entirely new world.
I trust that.
[audience applauding, cheering]
[somber music playing]
[Noon] You want
the cloning to work, don't you?
Keep at it.
[Vee] It's so difficult.
Hey. If I can pull it off,
I'm going to make
ten clones of Ryan Reynolds.
As if the clone would be into you.
I can modify his genes
to make him attracted to me.
[both chuckle]
Get back to work.
Hurry. Dream big, and make it happen.
Vee.
If that criminal could save the doctor
then I would want to be that criminal.
Do you get what I'm saying?
I might know the procedure.
But I've never cloned a human being.
I cannot guarantee that it'll work, Nont.
Hm.
[upbeat, tense music playing]
[chimes]
[Nont] Hello, Mom.
[Vee] Noon's family had her body
cryogenically preserved, right?
[Nont] That's right.
[Vee] You need to get
her parent's permission
to transfer her body to our lab.
That way, we'll be able
to extract her brain.
Her brain?
We're talking about memories
before we start cloning her.
We need to get hold
of the memories in her brain.
This is so we can transfer
the data to the clone
and bring the old Noon back.
[tense music continues to play]
That's absurd.
Do you even know what you're saying?
Yes, I know, sir.
I know that cloning is presently illegal.
But Noon's expertise
could help millions of people.
Don't you feel it's a waste?
Last year, a lab overseas
attempted human cloning.
- It produced something hideous.
- [Noon] I'm aware of that.
But there's also a chance it will succeed.
You know that.
What if it fails, Nont?
How many dogs had to die
to successfully create one clone.
[breathes in]
Then we'll try again.
And again, if necessary.
[Noon's father] What?
You'll kill Noon over and over.
- She's not a guinea pig. She's my
- No, that's not my intention, sir.
Noon is in a better place now.
She's paid back all her karma.
Just let her go.
But, ma'am, I think
that isn't a consideration.
We should consider
your crazy cloning notion.
Her soul is on a journey
to a higher realm,
a better place.
Why would you want to drag her
back here to suffer?
Did having
a world-class scientist for a daughter
make you any less blinded by religion.
[Noon's father] Listen.
Watch what you say.
- Blinded nonsense.
- What's ascending to a higher realm?
What is heaven and hell?
Do they even exist?
Is there even any proof?
What century are we living in?
- Nont.
- Those are the beliefs
- That make you blind to reason.
- [loud bang]
- You've gone too far.
- I don't think I have, sir.
- What will become of her work.
- I said no, and I meant it.
What about Noon's dreams?
They're real too.
More real than what you're saying.
Why don't you want to bring her back?
Stop arguing.
You have no say
when it comes to my daughter.
I do! I'm her goddamn husband.
[Noon's mother in shaky voice]
Nont, if you really love her
please, let her go.
I beg you.
[Nont panting]
Do you think I don't love her?
Are you sure it's me who doesn't?
[sobbing]
[door shuts]
[electronic swish]
- To Ratana Hospital.
- [electronic male voice] Received.
Determining route to Ratana Hospital.
[high-tension music playing]
[Nont] I'd like to request
that my wife's body be transferred.
I'm relocating to another province.
I'd like the body there for the funeral.
I'm sorry, sir.
- It's out of office hours. We're closed.
- You're closed?
Isn't it only 7 p.m.?
Don't you normally close at 8?
We closed early today.
[Nont sighs]
Um, but I'm leaving here tomorrow.
Can you help me out?
I'm sorry, sir,
all of our staff have gone home.
- Can I pop in quickly to see my wife then?
- You can't.
Not even for a brief visit,
say 5 or 10 minutes?
[music continues to play]
Hey. You fucking with me?
[music sting]
You keep saying no to all my questions!
Are you married?
Imagine it was your wife who was dead.
How would you feel?
- Security get in here!
- Hey, come on!
Hands off!
Don't touch me.
All right. All right.
I apologize. I'm sorry.
I just lost my head a bit.
I want to go in there. I want to see my
- You should leave.
- Hey!
I said I'm sorry.
What more do you want?
What the fuck are you staring at?
I said sorry. Now let me in!
How much do you want?
You tell me. I'll wire it to you.
Go on. How much do you want? Huh?
- How much?
- Let's go.
- Who the fuck are you?
- Come on.
- Damn it! Let go of me!
- I said come with us.
]Nont] Shit.
I'm only asking
that you let me in briefly to see my wife.
- You'd better watch your back! Let go.
- Come on.
[Nont] Fucking let go of me!
Let go of me!
I'm a customer.
Is this how you treat your customers?
[grunts]
If you keep this up,
we will call the police.
Go right ahead.
[man over phone] Mr Nont
showed up here demanding to see Dr Noon
as you predicted.
The guy sure is stubborn.
Next time, I don't think I'll be able
to turn him away using the same excuse.
[Noon's father] I've decided
we'll no longer keep the body 100 days.
Tomorrow, I'm going to move
the body to the temple
and proceed with the cremation.
[man] Yes, Sir.
[tense music playing]
- [man] Thank you, Doctor.
- My pleasure.
- [man] Thank you.
- [woman] I'm not having an injection.
Mom, come on now.
This vaccine is a new one from America.
Everyone wants it.
It's not cheap, you know?
I don't want an injection.
You don't know what they'll put into you.
They fill you with bacteria.
And if I die, how will you manage?
You'll be okay, Mom.
This is the way things are.
You've been on Tiktok again.
You need to put your cell away.
You turned yourself into a monster. Fine.
Go and get jabbed, but no jab for me.
[man] Oh, Mom.
- [loud bang]
- [alarm blaring]
[man 1] What's happening.
[man 2] What is it?
[alarm continues]
[upbeat music playing]
[Nont] Fire!
- Fire!
- [people screaming]
Please, calm down.
Everybody stay calm.
Don't trample each other. Be careful.

You must come back.
I will.
You must come back no matter what.
Mm-hmm.

[man] Are you taking
the body with you today, sir?
Hm.
Ok. Follow me, please.

[Vee] I told you to get
permission from her family,
Not Not for you to
Did you ever think what would happen
if you got caught?
You said it yourself
that we needed her brain.
Do you really think what I just did
was it easy to pull off?
[panting]
You do what you have to do.
I'll take care of the rest.
You don't need to worry.
I'm not worried for myself.
I'm more worried about you.
If I didn't do it today
it would never stop haunting me.
I beg you.
I beg you, Vee.
Will you please see this through for me?
[breathing shakily]
[music continues]
If we're unable to retrieve her memories
this will all have been for nothing.
And that'll be it.
The brain of a dead person
is extremely fragile.
Every attempt to extract
the detail of the memories
can cause irreparable damage
to the neurons.
Because of this inherent danger,
we only have one shot at this.
- Let's do this.
- Hm.

Where can you find
a better husband than this?
[both laugh]
- [Noon] Are you charging for this?
- [Nont] Free of charge.
- [Noon chuckles]
- There are special services.
- Like what? A free face massage?
- This foot is done.
[female AI voice] Warning.
Information incoherent.
- Confirmation required to proceed.
- What's happening, Vee?
- [AI] Warning
- Don't be alarmed.
The AI detected certain
conflicting threads in her brain.
Conflicts?
The AI is trying
to categorize the memories.
When it detects an inconsistency,
it sends out a notification.
For example, Noon worked as a doctor,
as well as an astronaut.
The AI is trying to judge
to whether both memories are accurate.
Our job is to confirm that both are true.
We don't normally come across this
when we work with a pet's brain.
With a human brain,
we have a complex memory system.
Does that mean
we have to be on standby
to verify the information?
Correct.
This process
will probably take several days.
[female AI voice continues] Warning.
Information incoherent.
- Does it have to be this detailed?
- That's how it is.
Don't worry. You should go.
I'll handle this.
[female AI voice] Confirmation
required to proceed.
- I'll leave it to you.
- Okay.
[gentle digital bleeping]
[cars honking]
- [Nont] Hey, Noon.
- Yes?
You've got corns.
- [Noon] You're making it up.
- For real. Look.
[Noon] Are you crazy?
Really.
The feet are done, next the face.
Can you wash your hands?
- Let's do your face.
- [Laugh] wash your hands!
- [Nont] You know.
- [Noon] What?
How about when you come back
- [Noon] Hmm?
- Let's try for a baby.
Yeah?
That's in three years time.
Your eggs will be about ready.
I'll help you.
Yes.
- Let's eat.
- [giggles]

There's an anomaly?

about bringing her back,
we can put a stop to this.

[male newsreader] News just in a court
has ruled that Mr Natthanont is guilty
of desecration of a human corpse
and disorderly conduct,
setting off an alarm illegally,
and stirring up chaos,
resulting in a public disturbance.
It wasn't my intention
to have him put away.
[woman] Tell us more.
I just wanted him to bring
my daughter's head back.
So we could proceed
with her funeral rights. That's all.
[newsreader] Mr Natthanont has refused
to cooperate with the investigation.
The court has sentenced him
to three years in prison,
effective immediately.
[music continues]
[female newsreader] Still unclear what
the motivation was behind his actions.
Social media is flooded
with discussions regarding this matter.
Some say Mr Natthanont's mental health
was seriously affected by the loss.
[male newsreader] More important
at the moment is to discover
the whereabouts of Dr Noon's head.

I'm on my way.
What happened, Vee?
Why have you stopped?
[tense music playing]
[female AI voice] Warning.
Information incoherent.
Warning. Information incoherent.
What's this?
Noon was reading
about sex reassignment surgery.
What's so strange?
She wanted to be a doctor.
Well, this episode took place
about 13 years ago when she was 19.
Just keep watching, and you'll understand.
[music continues to play]
[music turns ominous]
[music intensifies]
[Noon] This hairstyle is ok.
[giggles]
- It needs styling, though.
- Hm.
I can't believe you did it.
You're too much, really.
Come on.
Everyone goes through this in their teens.
Isn't it normal?
What you're seeing in her brain
is something carefully tucked away
in her deep memory.
The red dots, you can see all over,
are a clear indicator that these feelings
don't just come and go.
They represent
her core beliefs and her true self.
How can you tell
that the system hasn't misinterpreted it?

Warning.
Significant data detected in Deep Memory
[Nont sighs]
[Vee] Piecing together her memory
fragments is like solving a jigsaw puzzle.
The AI tries to identify
the problematic pieces,
Then it protects them
and does a work around
to build a memory duplicate
faithful to hers.
This clearly shows
that there's no error in the assembly.
There are two underlying images here.
I (MR. / MRS. / MISS)
[Noon] I've decided I'm going to tell Mom.
Mom.
[somber music playing]
Mom, please say something.
You understand me, don't you?
[girl] Just put it on.
You don't have to wear it for long!
- Please, Noon
- [doors open]
Or
You will wear this dress.
[Noon] I don't want
to wear that dress, Dad.
Dad, please, don't hurt her.
[Noon's father] All I want is
for my daughter to be a normal girl,
not a freak like this.
Why?
Didn't I raise you well?
Dad.
[sniffs]
I don't want to be a girl.
[gasping softly]
[Noon's father]
What do you expect me to say?
You can be anything
as long as you're a good person.
Can you do this one thing for me?
[sobbing]
[in a broken voice] Can I have
my daughter back? My little girl.
None, please.
[tense music playing]
[both sobbing]
MR.
MISS
[inhales sharply]
[sobbing]
[Vee] Noon's obsession with science
was a healing distraction
as she focused on her new goal.
- [Vee] Hey.
- [Noon] Hmm?
[Vee] Are you really not going
to date Tor?
You spend all day in this lab?
You should live a little.
So what? I like working.
I can't be bothered with other stuff.
You want the cloning to work, don't you?
Keep at it.
[sighs]
You sure you want to marry him?
Hm.
You shouldn't have to just because of dad.
At least
it will get me out of this house.

[somber music playing]
I'm starting to question everything.
[exhales]
Uh?
[breathes shakily]
Why do I feel like I've been deceived?
Huh?
[sobbing]
[Vee] If you've changed your mind
about bringing her back
we can put a stop to this.
[clicks tongue, breathes heavily]
[shouting] Fuck!
[sobbing]
I was reflecting on the feelings
of those people who will live on the moon.
How lonely they'll be.
So I thought of a house design
where they'll feel less homesick
when they live there.
Well,
if I ever get to live on the moon one day,
I'd like
to have a house that's cozy like that.
A real home to live in.
Just like the one you designed.
[pensive music playing]
[Vee] Didn't you say
that you loved her and missed her?
You were even willing to risk your life.
Why have you suddenly started
questioning her love for you?
Thinking Noon had deceived you.
I don't believe she did.
So, be honest with me.
What's so good about Noon?
How did he win you over?
Well, it is time to settle down.
You serious?
Don't be silly.
Tell me the truth. I want to know.
Hm
Well when I'm with him,
he doesn't expect anything of me.
He makes me feel at ease,
and I can just be myself.
[chuckles softly]
This may sound simplistic.
But I'm genuinely at ease.
[Vee] She was just born different.
Simply swapping one chromosome,
from an X to a Y,
would make her a man
like she'd always wanted.
People who are born
with body dysphoria
they have struggles.
It's as if
they're without a home.
[gentle, pensive music playing]
[Vee] She was looking for someone
who felt like home to her.
You were just that person.
The guy who wanted
to build a wood cabin on the moon.
The one she always talked about.
[Noon's sister] You won't be living
in misery for the rest of your life?
I won't.
Being with Nont I know I'll be happy.
[Noon] Thank you so much.
[sobbing]
It was Nont who saved me.
[music fading]
[siren wailing]
[tense music playing]
[alarm blaring]
- [door knocking]
- [man] Open the door! Open the door now!
[siren wailing]
[dramatic music playing]
Vee.
Listen to me carefully.
The police are here to arrest me.
Wait. What are you talking about?
I don't have much time.
Listen carefully.
Stop cloning her.
I understand.
[panting]
Stop cloning her.
As I want her to be.
[gasps]
I want you to clone her
the way that she wanted to be.
You can do that.
[somber music playing]
[Nont exhales]
You said you just change
X to Y chromosomes.
Yeah, that's right, just change X to Y.
[breathing shakily]
Please, relay this message to Noon.
[breathes in]
Tell her to be herself.
[sobbing]
Go be yourself, Noon.
I love you, Noon.
[man] Freeze. Don't move!
[man 2] Get up!
[Nont] This is as far
as I'm allowed to go.
I hope your journey from here
is full of wonder and joy.
May you accomplish
all that you set out to achieve.
[upbeat pop music playing]
[exhales]
Allow me
to use the name Nont.
[somber music playing]
How are you doing?
Are you adjusting all right?
And
how have you been spending time?
Does anyone know?
- That you're
- Slow down, Nont.
How do you expect me
to answer all these questions?
[exhales]
Right now,
I'm back doing research on heart printing.
And also, ISA has provided funding.
So I'm considering
branching out into other organ research.
Ah.
Is that space research?
We're now able to clone humans.
Why go to space just to print organs?
If your body is a house,
your organs are like the decor.
If a chair is broken,
then you make a new chair.
You don't need a new house.
Um did ISA do a background check on you?
Mm.
I told them the truth.
- Uh?
- Well
It's ISA.
If you're going to work for them,
they're going to screen you.
So I decided to be honest.
They've already taken care
of my new identity and all the paperwork.
Hm.
I'm very glad.
That they understood.
They're progressive,
though they had one condition.
I had to join the first lunar
colonization program.
I leave in three months.
Another spaceship.
Aren't you afraid?
[snorts]
[Nont sobbing] Go be yourself, Noon.
I love you, Noon.
[Noon's clone] Someone once said
that fear will kill our ability
to make new discoveries.
Whereas courage
will make sure we are remembered
long after we have departed this world.
I'm grateful for your courage, Nont.
In the future,
if you do something for someone else,
make sure you consult them.
You can put yourself first sometimes.
Whoa!
Your punch has gotten stronger.
[both chuckle]
You mentioned
permanent lunar colonization.
Does that mean
we'll never get to see each other again.
We can always enjoy
a video call if we're lonely.
Or perhaps you can save up
for a trip to the moon.
Or if not
we'll see each other in memories.
[upbeat, rock music playing]
[Noon] Thank you.
There's no one else in this world,
other than you,
who would just let me be myself.
[music continues to play]
[music fading]
So this is what having
a family is about.
[music ends]
[interviewer] Doctor Nont,
what do you have to say
about the organ printing project
you've been running the last five years?
[Noon's clone] The last five years
have proven to be quite successful.
We now have the capability
to print hearts, kidneys, and spleens.
At present, we're transitioning
to even more complex organs,
such as, an eye, for instance.
That is indeed wonderful news.
But this has come at the cost
of you having to relocate to the moon.
How's it been living there for so long?
Do you miss your life on Earth?
Do you miss your home?
Doctor Nont.
Doctor Nont?
Uh, the signal.
Do I miss my home?
I do miss it sometimes.
Someone taught me
that as long as you have love,
and understanding,
any place could be your home.
[somber music playing]
[interviewer] Wow, that's quite a quote.
[Vee] I'm really happy for Noon.
[interviewer] I wonder
who that special person is.
She's finally managed to fulfil her dream.
Hm.
What Noon does is helpful
to a great deal of people.
But there's no place
for black sheep in this world.
Some day, Nont.
Someday.
Hm.
Let's go. Keep running. Come on.
Don't ask me to join you next time.
I'm exhausted.
Oh, come on, Vee.
Even though our body parts
are replaceable,
we still need to take care of ourselves.
Let's go.
Less time in the lab, more exercise.
- Fine, I'll do it.
- Go, go!
I know Noon sent you a new arm.
I think I like the old one better.
The Terminator, have you seen it?
[Vee] If you like it that much,
just order one, Arnie.

Come here. Listen, I have good news.
[breathes in] Nont, I was actually right!
A low gravitational force enables
the cardiomyocytes to form into a heart

[breathes in] Once I've carried out
a proteomic analysis
and get a full picture
of the underlying mechanism,
we'll be able to 3D print actual hearts.
No longer will there be
donor waiting lists.
When I get back to Earth,
I'll hurl these hearts
back at those old dinosaurs
who said my work
will never come to anything.
I'll make them hang their heads in shame.
That sounds good. I'm with you.
[chuckles]
Oh, now that you can print
hearts on demand,
don't forget this old heart of mine.
Okay?

Aww!
Sure, go on and pet him.
You've been trying to pet him

[mimicking Harvey] Oh, I miss you so much.
Please, come back soon.
I've got a gift for you.
What?
[Nont] Here we are. Aw!
[chuckles]
[Nont] Harvey bought it, you know?
Oh, yes, he knows what his mom likes.
He often complains
that he feels bad for his mom
missing out on her favorite snack.
Because ISA forbids it in space.
They say that if you bite into it,
it will turn into
Turn into what, Harvey?
Aw! Woof.
Into nanoparticles that can clog up
the engine of the spaceship.
Aww!
[dog whining]
Oh, funny!

Thank you.
For what? For the snack?
Not that.
I'm serious.
Well
for letting me come out here
to follow my dream.
[pensive music playing]
There's no one else in this world,
other than you,
who would just let me be myself.
Also
I'm sorry.
Hey!
Why are you sorry?
You're back in 10 days, aren't you?
Mm-hmm.
When I'm back,
I'm going to make everything up to you.
I'll be all yours,
yours and only yours.
Pinky promise?
Our pinkies don't touch.

to be the final voyage for the astronaut
Doctor Kanitthapada Sompong Na Dara,
known as Dr Noon,
the first female Thai astronaut.
[male newsreader]
The International Space Agency said
that as the space shuttle
was re entering the earth's atmosphere,
a fire broke out in the air supply system,
which led to the premature depletion
of the oxygen supplies
for the astronauts prior to landing.
[sad, nostalgic music playing]
[female newsreader] Doctor Noon's body
has been preserved using cryonics
in preparation
for 100-day-long funeral rites,
before cremation is carried out
in accordance with Buddhist practices.
Her husband, Mr. Nont, has just come out.
Let's hear what he has to say.
[newsreader] Who do you think
should take responsibility for this?
- [reporter 1] Do you miss her?
- [reporter 2] Why will you do that?
- [reporter 3] Why didn't you stop her?
- [reporter 4] Did you ever try?
Why didn't you stop her going to space?
- [reporter 4] Any comments?
- How do you feel? Anything to say?
[reporter 6] Did you?
- [man] Mr. Nont, why did you not stop her?

[gentle, nostalgic music playing]
[Nont] Do you like this picture?
I noticed you've been staring at it.
Uh
this is my design.
Oh.
I see.
I'm kind of curious why you designed it
in this way.
If you look at the others,
virtually all of them are ultra modern.
[Nont chuckles]
- This is different.
- [man] So I put it here.
Is there a concept behind it?
[Nont] Um
To be honest, there's not much to it.
I was reflecting on
the feelings of the people
who will live on the moon.
How lonely they will be.
They'll be homesick,
missing life on Earth.
So I thought of a house design
where they'll feel less homesick
when they live there.
I guess.
[gentle piano music playing]
To tell you the truth,
there's not much to it.
It was for my thesis.
[clicks tongue] I just went
with my feelings.
In reality,
I doubt it could be constructed.
I guess.
It sounds crazy, doesn't it?
Not really.
In fact, ISA has plans to establish
permanent human residences on the moon.
In fact, they've been surveying
and planning for several years.
And the human factor
is considered one of the top priorities.
Because when humans go there,
the place should feel like home to them.
The home you envisioned
might seem a little out there.
My opinion is that it hits
the brief for a human habitat,
for those who actually go
to live on the moon.
[chuckles]
I'm nerdy.
I don't think so.
- [chuckles]
- [sighs]
Mmm Well,
if I ever
get to live on the moon one day,
I'd like
to have a house that's cozy like that.
A real home to live in,
just like the one you designed.
[Nont] Mm. [chuckles]
Oh, gosh.
So, was your professor critical of you?
[chuckles] The other works
are all quite serious.
What do you think?
As you can see,
they placed my piece at the rear.
[chuckles]
Oh!
I'm Nont.

It's good for your heart. Keep going.

- Are you okay?
- [Nont] We can try the treadmill.
- We got a double-yolk egg.
- [Nont] Let me see.
Mmm, looks appetizing,
but we eat fried eggs a lot.
I'm getting sick of them.
I'm craving some other round things.
Aren't you, Busty?
Other round things?
How about we have this?
- Noon.
- Yes.
- [Nont] Your friend's here.
- Who is it?
[gasps] Aww!
[Nont] Hey! [chuckles]
- Daddy deserves a reward. Give him a kiss.
- [Nont] No way. No kiss. No, go away.
[Noon] Kiss him. Kiss. Kiss. Kiss.
[chuckles]
- Harvey! Good boy.
- [Nont] What? Harvey?
[Noon] Harvey.
- [Nont] You've named him?
- Yes.
- [Nont] That was fast.
- How cute.
[notification bleep]
[music continues to play]
[Noon] Gosh.
But if I go
we won't get to see
each other for three years.
If I stay out all the way out there,
you'll be all alone.
It's not fair on you
to have to wait for me.
I'm not going.
But Noon you can't be serious.
ISA reached out to you personally.
This is a rare opportunity.
You should go.
I know you want to.
Hm?
If you don't pursue your dream,
I'll be unhappy as well.
Just go.
When you return,
we'll still have the rest of our lives.
It's only three years.
We'll be fine.

How are you coping?
Are you feeling better?
I came today
to ask you for a favor.
What is it?
[electronic swish]
[footsteps approaching]
[woman] Excuse me, Dr. Vee,
the Siamese cat-cloning trial has failed.
[Vee] How could it?
- [footsteps receding]
- [electronic swish]
I want you to clone Noon.
[tense music playing]
Nont.
This isn't something to joke about.
I'm not joking, Vee.
I mean it.
You do know
that human cloning is illegal, right?
I do know that, but
How much would it cost
to make a clone of Noon?
- Just give me the number.
- Noon. Noon, Noon, Noon.
Get a grip.
Look. I can understand how upset you are
because you just lost Noon.
But how could you be certain that Noon
would agree to what you're suggesting.
I'm sure she'd be okay with it.
Her research focused
on printing 3D hearts.
Her view was
that human body parts are replaceable.
You know that.
Did you see the news?
On the news, everyone was grieving
the loss of her talent.
What she was working on, if it succeeds,
could help so many millions of people.
What reason would anyone have
not to bring Noon back?
You're a scientist, just like her.
You understand, don't you?
Didn't you tell Noon?
That you didn't want to stop
at dog and cat cloning?
[music continues to play]
I can't help you with this.
[music fading]
[sighs deeply]
You still remember Noon's question
about the doctor and the criminal?
My answer remains the same.
As I gave her that day.
[sighs]
[Noon] Imagine you're a surgeon
about to treat another doctor,
and they've had
a congestion heart failure.
This doctor is a genius,
well-liked and has saved countless lives.
There's only one viable
treatment option for this doctor,
which is an emergency heart transplant
to be done right away.
But at the same time, it just so happens
that a suspected murderer
is shot by police and sent to you.
His heart would take
if it was to be transplanted
directly into the doctor.
What would you do?
Who's inclined to save the doctor?
Show of hands.
[crowd murmuring softly]
You, sir, what do you say?
Where do you stand?
Well that doctor is a lovely,
and a hero, like you are as well.
So helping the doctor is a no-brainer.
[audience laughs softly]
Don't get mad. It's a joke.
Um I'd probably want to save the doctor.
Because they are obviously more capable
and knowledgeable than I am.
If you save the doctor,
they could continue to live on
and then make the world better.
[audience applauding]
Okay, right?
In fact, this conundrum
is actually a classic one.
No answer is fully wrong or fully right.
Wouldn't it be better
not to have to decide
which one to save?
[crowd murmuring]
3D organ printing
[music sting]
is an idea conceived
to tackle this very issue.
[crowd gasping]
The 3D-printed heart
is made from the patients own cells,
which means, one,
a donor is not necessary.
The patient's not
waiting for a donor to die.
Two, we know for sure
that the created heart
will be compatible with the patient
and will not be rejected,
because it's grown from their own body.
Organ printing is not an original idea.
But no one has, as yet, succeeded.
This is because when we print an organ,
The gravity of earth
presses down on the cells
causing them to grow in a flat shape.
Because of this,
they are unable to assemble into 3D.
And now, after a five-year study,
we are able to test
the bioprinter in outer space,
to test if these organs can be created,
then how we successfully make
it work back on earth.
I must honestly say
I am very excited about our discoveries.
And this time,
our hard work will be a success.
This journey
will give humanity
breakthroughs and glimpses
into an entirely new world.
I trust that.
[audience applauding, cheering]
[somber music playing]
[Noon] You want
the cloning to work, don't you?
Keep at it.
[Vee] It's so difficult.
Hey. If I can pull it off,
I'm going to make
ten clones of Ryan Reynolds.
As if the clone would be into you.
I can modify his genes
to make him attracted to me.
[both chuckle]
Get back to work.
Hurry. Dream big, and make it happen.
Vee.
If that criminal could save the doctor
then I would want to be that criminal.
Do you get what I'm saying?
I might know the procedure.
But I've never cloned a human being.
I cannot guarantee that it'll work, Nont.
Hm.
[upbeat, tense music playing]
[chimes]
[Nont] Hello, Mom.
[Vee] Noon's family had her body
cryogenically preserved, right?
[Nont] That's right.
[Vee] You need to get
her parent's permission
to transfer her body to our lab.
That way, we'll be able
to extract her brain.
Her brain?
We're talking about memories
before we start cloning her.
We need to get hold
of the memories in her brain.
This is so we can transfer
the data to the clone
and bring the old Noon back.
[tense music continues to play]
That's absurd.
Do you even know what you're saying?
Yes, I know, sir.
I know that cloning is presently illegal.
But Noon's expertise
could help millions of people.
Don't you feel it's a waste?
Last year, a lab overseas
attempted human cloning.
- It produced something hideous.
- [Noon] I'm aware of that.
But there's also a chance it will succeed.
You know that.
What if it fails, Nont?
How many dogs had to die
to successfully create one clone.
[breathes in]
Then we'll try again.
And again, if necessary.
[Noon's father] What?
You'll kill Noon over and over.
- She's not a guinea pig. She's my
- No, that's not my intention, sir.
Noon is in a better place now.
She's paid back all her karma.
Just let her go.
But, ma'am, I think
that isn't a consideration.
We should consider
your crazy cloning notion.
Her soul is on a journey
to a higher realm,
a better place.
Why would you want to drag her
back here to suffer?
Did having
a world-class scientist for a daughter
make you any less blinded by religion.
[Noon's father] Listen.
Watch what you say.
- Blinded nonsense.
- What's ascending to a higher realm?
What is heaven and hell?
Do they even exist?
Is there even any proof?
What century are we living in?
- Nont.
- Those are the beliefs
- That make you blind to reason.
- [loud bang]
- You've gone too far.
- I don't think I have, sir.
- What will become of her work.
- I said no, and I meant it.
What about Noon's dreams?
They're real too.
More real than what you're saying.
Why don't you want to bring her back?
Stop arguing.
You have no say
when it comes to my daughter.
I do! I'm her goddamn husband.
[Noon's mother in shaky voice]
Nont, if you really love her
please, let her go.
I beg you.
[Nont panting]
Do you think I don't love her?
Are you sure it's me who doesn't?
[sobbing]
[door shuts]
[electronic swish]
- To Ratana Hospital.
- [electronic male voice] Received.
Determining route to Ratana Hospital.
[high-tension music playing]
[Nont] I'd like to request
that my wife's body be transferred.
I'm relocating to another province.
I'd like the body there for the funeral.
I'm sorry, sir.
- It's out of office hours. We're closed.
- You're closed?
Isn't it only 7 p.m.?
Don't you normally close at 8?
We closed early today.
[Nont sighs]
Um, but I'm leaving here tomorrow.
Can you help me out?
I'm sorry, sir,
all of our staff have gone home.
- Can I pop in quickly to see my wife then?
- You can't.
Not even for a brief visit,
say 5 or 10 minutes?
[music continues to play]
Hey. You fucking with me?
[music sting]
You keep saying no to all my questions!
Are you married?
Imagine it was your wife who was dead.
How would you feel?
- Security get in here!
- Hey, come on!
Hands off!
Don't touch me.
All right. All right.
I apologize. I'm sorry.
I just lost my head a bit.
I want to go in there. I want to see my
- You should leave.
- Hey!
I said I'm sorry.
What more do you want?
What the fuck are you staring at?
I said sorry. Now let me in!
How much do you want?
You tell me. I'll wire it to you.
Go on. How much do you want? Huh?
- How much?
- Let's go.
- Who the fuck are you?
- Come on.
- Damn it! Let go of me!
- I said come with us.
]Nont] Shit.
I'm only asking
that you let me in briefly to see my wife.
- You'd better watch your back! Let go.
- Come on.
[Nont] Fucking let go of me!
Let go of me!
I'm a customer.
Is this how you treat your customers?
[grunts]
If you keep this up,
we will call the police.
Go right ahead.
[man over phone] Mr Nont
showed up here demanding to see Dr Noon
as you predicted.
The guy sure is stubborn.
Next time, I don't think I'll be able
to turn him away using the same excuse.
[Noon's father] I've decided
we'll no longer keep the body 100 days.
Tomorrow, I'm going to move
the body to the temple
and proceed with the cremation.
[man] Yes, Sir.
[tense music playing]
- [man] Thank you, Doctor.
- My pleasure.
- [man] Thank you.
- [woman] I'm not having an injection.
Mom, come on now.
This vaccine is a new one from America.
Everyone wants it.
It's not cheap, you know?
I don't want an injection.
You don't know what they'll put into you.
They fill you with bacteria.
And if I die, how will you manage?
You'll be okay, Mom.
This is the way things are.
You've been on Tiktok again.
You need to put your cell away.
You turned yourself into a monster. Fine.
Go and get jabbed, but no jab for me.
[man] Oh, Mom.

- [alarm blaring]
[man 1] What's happening.
[man 2] What is it?

Please, calm down.
Everybody stay calm.

if you got caught?
You said it yourself
that we needed her brain.
Do you really think what I just did
was it easy to pull off?
[panting]
You do what you have to do.
I'll take care of the rest.
You don't need to worry.
I'm not worried for myself.
I'm more worried about you.
If I didn't do it today
it would never stop haunting me.
I beg you.
I beg you, Vee.
Will you please see this through for me?
[breathing shakily]
[music continues]
If we're unable to retrieve her memories
this will all have been for nothing.
And that'll be it.
The brain of a dead person
is extremely fragile.
Every attempt to extract
the detail of the memories
can cause irreparable damage
to the neurons.
Because of this inherent danger,
we only have one shot at this.

The AI detected certain
conflicting threads in her brain.
Conflicts?
The AI is trying
to categorize the memories.
When it detects an inconsistency,
it sends out a notification.
For example, Noon worked as a doctor,
as well as an astronaut.
The AI is trying to judge
to whether both memories are accurate.
Our job is to confirm that both are true.
We don't normally come across this
when we work with a pet's brain.
With a human brain,
we have a complex memory system.
Does that mean
we have to be on standby
to verify the information?
Correct.
This process
will probably take several days.

You've got corns.

[Noon] Are you crazy?
Really.
The feet are done, next the face.
Can you wash your hands?
- Let's do your face.
- [Laugh] wash your hands!
- [Nont] You know.
- [Noon] What?
How about when you come back

Yeah?
That's in three years time.
Your eggs will be about ready.
I'll help you.
Yes.

[male newsreader] News just in a court
has ruled that Mr Natthanont is guilty
of desecration of a human corpse
and disorderly conduct,
setting off an alarm illegally,
and stirring up chaos,
resulting in a public disturbance.
It wasn't my intention
to have him put away.
[woman] Tell us more.
I just wanted him to bring
my daughter's head back.
So we could proceed
with her funeral rights. That's all.
[newsreader] Mr Natthanont has refused
to cooperate with the investigation.
The court has sentenced him
to three years in prison,
effective immediately.
[music continues]
[female newsreader] Still unclear what
the motivation was behind his actions.
Social media is flooded
with discussions regarding this matter.
Some say Mr Natthanont's mental health
was seriously affected by the loss.

at the moment is to discover
the whereabouts of Dr Noon's head.

Warning. Information incoherent.
What's this?
Noon was reading
about sex reassignment surgery.
What's so strange?
She wanted to be a doctor.
Well, this episode took place
about 13 years ago when she was 19.
Just keep watching, and you'll understand.
[music continues to play]
[music turns ominous]
[music intensifies]
[Noon] This hairstyle is ok.
[giggles]
- It needs styling, though.
- Hm.
I can't believe you did it.
You're too much, really.
Come on.
Everyone goes through this in their teens.
Isn't it normal?
What you're seeing in her brain
is something carefully tucked away
in her deep memory.
The red dots, you can see all over,
are a clear indicator that these feelings
don't just come and go.
They represent
her core beliefs and her true self.
How can you tell
that the system hasn't misinterpreted it?
[female AI voice] Warning.
Significant data detected in Deep Memory.
Warning.

[Nont sighs]
[Vee] Piecing together her memory
fragments is like solving a jigsaw puzzle.
The AI tries to identify
the problematic pieces,
Then it protects them
and does a work around
to build a memory duplicate
faithful to hers.
This clearly shows
that there's no error in the assembly.
There are two underlying images here.
I (MR. / MRS. / MISS)
[Noon] I've decided I'm going to tell Mom.
Mom.
[somber music playing]
Mom, please say something.
You understand me, don't you?
[girl] Just put it on.
You don't have to wear it for long!
- Please, Noon
- [doors open]
Or
You will wear this dress.
[Noon] I don't want
to wear that dress, Dad.
Dad, please, don't hurt her.
[Noon's father] All I want is
for my daughter to be a normal girl,
not a freak like this.
Why?
Didn't I raise you well?
Dad.
[sniffs]
I don't want to be a girl.
[gasping softly]
[Noon's father]
What do you expect me to say?
You can be anything
as long as you're a good person.
Can you do this one thing for me?
[sobbing]
[in a broken voice] Can I have
my daughter back? My little girl.
None, please.
[tense music playing]
[both sobbing]
MR.
MISS
[inhales sharply]

[Vee] Noon's obsession with science
was a healing distraction
as she focused on her new goal.
- [Vee] Hey.
- [Noon] Hmm?
[Vee] Are you really not going
to date Tor?
You spend all day in this lab?
You should live a little.
So what? I like working.
I can't be bothered with other stuff.
You want the cloning to work, don't you?
Keep at it.
[sighs]
You sure you want to marry him?
Hm.
You shouldn't have to just because of dad.
At least
it will get me out of this house.

[somber music playing]
I'm starting to question everything.
[exhales]
Uh?
[breathes shakily]
Why do I feel like I've been deceived?
Huh?
[sobbing]
[Vee] If you've changed your mind
about bringing her back
we can put a stop to this.
[clicks tongue, breathes heavily]
[shouting] Fuck!
[sobbing]
I was reflecting on the feelings
of those people who will live on the moon.
How lonely they'll be.
So I thought of a house design
where they'll feel less homesick
when they live there.
Well,
if I ever get to live on the moon one day,
I'd like
to have a house that's cozy like that.
A real home to live in.
Just like the one you designed.
[pensive music playing]
[Vee] Didn't you say
that you loved her and missed her?
You were even willing to risk your life.
Why have you suddenly started
questioning her love for you?
Thinking Noon had deceived you.
I don't believe she did.
So, be honest with me.
What's so good about Noon?
How did he win you over?
Well, it is time to settle down.
You serious?
Don't be silly.
Tell me the truth. I want to know.
Hm
Well when I'm with him,
he doesn't expect anything of me.
He makes me feel at ease,
and I can just be myself.
[chuckles softly]
This may sound simplistic.
But I'm genuinely at ease.
[Vee] She was just born different.
Simply swapping one chromosome,
from an X to a Y,
would make her a man
like she'd always wanted.
People who are born
with body dysphoria
they have struggles.
It's as if
they're without a home.
[gentle, pensive music playing]
[Vee] She was looking for someone
who felt like home to her.
You were just that person.
The guy who wanted
to build a wood cabin on the moon.
The one she always talked about.
[Noon's sister] You won't be living
in misery for the rest of your life?
I won't.
Being with Nont I know I'll be happy.
[Noon] Thank you so much.
[sobbing]
It was Nont who saved me.
[music fading]
[siren wailing]
[tense music playing]
[alarm blaring]
- [door knocking]
- [man] Open the door! Open the door now!
[siren wailing]
[dramatic music playing]
Vee.
Listen to me carefully.
The police are here to arrest me.
Wait. What are you talking about?
I don't have much time.
Listen carefully.
Stop cloning her.
I understand.
[panting]
Stop cloning her.
As I want her to be.
[gasps]
I want you to clone her
the way that she wanted to be.
You can do that.
[somber music playing]
[Nont exhales]
You said you just change
X to Y chromosomes.
Yeah, that's right, just change X to Y.
[breathing shakily]
Please, relay this message to Noon.
[breathes in]
Tell her to be herself.
[sobbing]
Go be yourself, Noon.
I love you, Noon.
[man] Freeze. Don't move!
[man 2] Get up!
[Nont] This is as far
as I'm allowed to go.
I hope your journey from here
is full of wonder and joy.
May you accomplish
all that you set out to achieve.
[upbeat pop music playing]
[exhales]
Allow me
to use the name Nont.
[somber music playing]
How are you doing?
Are you adjusting all right?
And
how have you been spending time?
Does anyone know?
- That you're
- Slow down, Nont.
How do you expect me
to answer all these questions?
[exhales]
Right now,
I'm back doing research on heart printing.
And also, ISA has provided funding.
So I'm considering
branching out into other organ research.
Ah.
Is that space research?
We're now able to clone humans.
Why go to space just to print organs?
If your body is a house,
your organs are like the decor.
If a chair is broken,
then you make a new chair.
You don't need a new house.
Um did ISA do a background check on you?
Mm.
I told them the truth.
- Uh?
- Well
It's ISA.
If you're going to work for them,
they're going to screen you.
So I decided to be honest.
They've already taken care
of my new identity and all the paperwork.
Hm.
I'm very glad.
That they understood.
They're progressive,
though they had one condition.
I had to join the first lunar
colonization program.
I leave in three months.
Another spaceship.
Aren't you afraid?
[snorts]
[Nont sobbing] Go be yourself, Noon.
I love you, Noon.
[Noon's clone] Someone once said
that fear will kill our ability
to make new discoveries.
Whereas courage
will make sure we are remembered
long after we have departed this world.
I'm grateful for your courage, Nont.
In the future,
if you do something for someone else,
make sure you consult them.
You can put yourself first sometimes.
Whoa!
Your punch has gotten stronger.
[both chuckle]
You mentioned
permanent lunar colonization.
Does that mean
we'll never get to see each other again.
We can always enjoy
a video call if we're lonely.
Or perhaps you can save up
for a trip to the moon.
Or if not
we'll see each other in memories.
[upbeat, rock music playing]
[Noon] Thank you.
There's no one else in this world,
other than you,
who would just let me be myself.
[music continues to play]
[music fading]
So this is what having
a family is about.
[music ends]
[interviewer] Doctor Nont,
what do you have to say
about the organ printing project
you've been running the last five years?
[Noon's clone] The last five years
have proven to be quite successful.
We now have the capability
to print hearts, kidneys, and spleens.
At present, we're transitioning
to even more complex organs,
such as, an eye, for instance.
That is indeed wonderful news.
But this has come at the cost
of you having to relocate to the moon.
How's it been living there for so long?
Do you miss your life on Earth?
Do you miss your home?
Doctor Nont.
Doctor Nont?
Uh, the signal.
Do I miss my home?
I do miss it sometimes.
Someone taught me
that as long as you have love,
and understanding,
any place could be your home.
[somber music playing]
[interviewer] Wow, that's quite a quote.
[Vee] I'm really happy for Noon.
[interviewer] I wonder
who that special person is.
She's finally managed to fulfil her dream.
Hm.
What Noon does is helpful
to a great deal of people.
But there's no place
for black sheep in this world.
Some day, Nont.
Someday.
Hm.
Let's go. Keep running. Come on.
Don't ask me to join you next time.
I'm exhausted.
Oh, come on, Vee.
Even though our body parts
are replaceable,
we still need to take care of ourselves.
Let's go.
Less time in the lab, more exercise.
- Fine, I'll do it.
- Go, go!
I know Noon sent you a new arm.
I think I like the old one better.
The Terminator, have you seen it?
[Vee] If you like it that much,
just order one, Arnie.
