The Generator (2017) - full transcript

Virtual technologies and human touch interaction blend when scientist Max Bernholm discovers that by connecting himself to a computer server he can achieve "the human feel." This allows users of the program, known as "The Generator," to experience the same feelings that the human subjects were experiencing when connected to their computer systems. Leander, the captain of the subjects was brought in as a kid and trained to make other people's dreams or fantasies come true within the virtual world. However when Max, testing his newest technology of mind control, starts to lose control, Leander and his girlfriend Natalia are drawn into a hazardous game. The only chance to stop Max depends on Leander gambling with his life, but if he succeeds, he could save not only his own life, but the lives of his loved ones.

Please take a seat.

My name is Axel.

I'll make you feel alright!

So just relax.

Hi boys.

How are you doing?

Great.

Leander have

Hey we all know
Lea has a phobia of needles.

Hey where'd that come from?

One drop of blood and you
drop down dead every time.

Come on that
hasn't been for weeks now.



So you keep saying.

Eliezer I'm still waiting
on that report from you okay?

Natalia I'm still
waiting on that drink, okay?

My bloods
are perfect every time.

And I've told you
that's not gonna happen.

Really?

Why not, come on, how long
have we known each other?

Yeah, but we work together.

It's just a drink, we're

Yes, that reminds me to
go check them out today.

Sorry I forgot.

Do you think we're
doing the right thing here?

Of course what do you mean?

I have concerns.

Why?

I want to keep with your

Hello.

Can I talk to you for a minute?

Are you hungry?

You certainly are a
curious young boy.

What's your name?

Leander.

Leander.

My name's Max.

I run a centre for
gifted youngsters.

Helps you do something
important in your life.

But more importantly I can
help you make a difference.

Leave your mark on this world.

I know what it's like,

to be cold, hungry, not knowing
what to do with yourself.

I can help you find a purpose.

Get you off the streets.

Interested?

There's something very
important I need to ask you.

The power of the world
is in which hand?

Come with me.

Hey Jena.

So I had an absolute
nightmare coming over

from the station this morning.

How come?

Oh this odd guy groped my
leg, he ripped

my fucking tight, look at my tights.

A stranger?

Yeah, but I mean I'm not gonna lie

I was fucking turned on.

But geez at least
buy me a drink first.

Yeah.

So tell me how how was
your date last night?

How was my date?

Hello, what can I get you?

Okay,

I want a cappuccino.

I want half soya and
half semi skimmed milk,

I want no sugar, no sugar.

But I want a shot of
caramel syrup, sugar free.

Sugar free, you got that?

Yes.

Then I want three pieces
of chocolate dusted on top.

If you bring me four
over I swear to God

I'm gonna throw that hot
coffee in your fucking face.

Could I have the same please?

Of course.

Thank you.

So tell me,
how was your date last night?

My date, with who?

Pat, Pat, Pat?

Patrick, I remember Patrick.

We just went out on a cinema date.

Although we didn't really
watch much of the film.

Why?

'Cause he was fucking
fingering me the whole time.

I'm was so wet.

It was like a fucking.

It was like a fell in there.

I might as well I
have had an umbrella.

Why was the roof
open or something?

It was just honestly.

All over,
I had to clean myself up like...

three times it's lucky I had
a couple wet wipes in my bag.

That's fine, that's fine.

♪ Polarize ♪

Stop looking at me like that.

What I'm not allowed
to look at you?

You're a pretty girl.

Can I ask you something?

It depends what it is.

What are you doing here?

Where?

Here.

That's a personal question.

Well I mean, I basically
got all my family here

and my friends and,

you know we're doing the
right thing for humanity so.

Natalia what
are you still doing here?

Don't know, I guess I...

I guess I feel like if I leave then

maybe I'm leaving a bit of my dad.

What was he like?

He was amazing, he was my idol.

God he was so intelligent.

I mean he used to work so much
though so I used to barely

be able to see him but,

yeah no, I miss him.

He would have loved you.

I wish I could've met him.

Yeah, me too.

So enough about me what about you?
Why?

I mean do you not want to go out

and be in the real world?

The real world?

The real world for me was nothing
but a pain the ass really.

I was beaten out of home,

When I was pretty young,
and after a couple years

Max found me.

And brought me here,

been here ever since.

So this place, is my home now.

I've got my family
here, I've got Max.

Welcome to your new home.

Sit down.

Take off your shirt.

Now this is a sensory prone,

we'll just monitor
you, don't be afraid.

You'll never have to be alone again.

Is the procedure going well?

Yes, thanks to Haptics
technology my technique

is greatly improved,
there are no signs of

scars or any visible defects.

There won't be any buildup

of hapatocytes will there?

No, we've been
monitoring very closely

and there are no abnormalities
in his blood tests.

And you did switch the two
sheath for a three sheath?

As you recommended.

And now the free flow of
information is much more efficient.

Very good.

How are you feeling?

Fine.

Don't worry any discomfort
or itchiness will be

resolved within two
days of insertion.

And we'll be monitoring

your blood tests very, very closely.

Any abnormalities will be
dealt with and resolved.

As I would expect.

How's Jena doing by the way?

She's fine.

Thank you for your time.

You've got shit on your face.

Where?

On your face, shit.

Is it gone?

Yeah.

Anyways, honestly this
date was fucking epic

I must have cummed like 10 times.

Did you have sex with him?

Yeah, well
yeah, I fucked him, yeah.

Oh you did.

Yeah in the
car, like on the car,

on the bonnet of the car,

in the back of the car,
with the seats down.

Like any position in the
car we fucked, twice.

In each position.

What was it like?

You know it's like that feeling

that you get when your
body's like shaking

and then you're like

♪ La ♪

Like when you're singing?

And then you can't breathe.

You can't breathe?

Yeah, literally.

That sounds horrible.

Oh no, it's like the
best feeling in the world.

Come on you must masturbate.

Anyway,
so what are you doing tonight?

Actually, I have a date.

A date, shut up,
you've got a date?

Yeah.

With who?

Just a guy.

A guy? Who, what guy?

A guy I met at the train station.

A guy you met at
the train station?

What are you wearing,
are you wearing this?

Yeah, my dad said it looked nice.

No, stand up, stand up.

You're wearing that?

Yeah, I like the blue.

Babe you need at least,
the skirt needs to go

at least that short.

I mean look at my legs.

But isn't that a bit too much?

No, it's not too much.

And yeah one more button down here.

I don't know if my dad
would approve of this.

You know how experienced I am.

I know what I'm talking about.

Okay, I suppose so.

I'm just going to
go to the bathroom.

Okay, whatever.

What the fuck?

How are you doing today?

I'm very well, thank you.

It's a nice
day outside isn't it?

Yes, yes it is.

It makes a nice change
after yesterday.

I'm feeling really rather nervous.

It's okay, it's understandable,

it's the unknown isn't it?

I promise you that there's no

dangerous or harmful side effects.

Okay?

I'm glad to hear it.

I'm actually quite excited.

Yeah, yeah it will be fun.

Welcome to the studio.

This is where it all happens.

Gosh it's all very different
from anywhere I've ever been.

Yeah it's probably different

than how you imagined it.

It's actually kind of similar

because it's a bit
like Sci-fi movies.

So if you could just
place your palms face down

on this surface.

On the middle?

Yeah just pop them in the middle

and spread your fingers.

Like that?

Yeah, that's perfect.

And then you could just look
into the screen for me as well.

Oh, actually, at the screen,

actually if you don't mind,

do you mind if I just
take your glasses off?

No not all just mind my hair.

Thank you.

Perfect, thank you.

Now I know you've done your research

into this so you know all of this.

But and just for regulation
purposes we just need to run

through it quickly.

So the basic concept
behind the technology

is that it's Haptics.

Augmented technology
and virtual reality

that allow you to basically
experience human touch

in whatever scenario of your choice.

So you've got two options.

The first one is that
you're basically hosted

by one of our subjects.

Now our subjects are real humans,

so you'll remain exactly the same

in terms of mentally and physically,

but you'll be able to
feel the human touch

that these subjects
are experiencing,

in whatever scenario of your choice.

And you'll also have another
option where you can be

in the company of
one of our subjects

in whatever scenario of your choice.

So which would you want to pick?

Running.

Running?

Running, definitely running.

Are you ready?

Yep I'm ready.

Okay, enjoy.

Thank you.

♪ All I can do is let you swing ♪

Come on man,
you're supposed to be

the young, fit one on the team.

Look at you, I remember
the 13 year old runt

who could take a station, and
now you're giving me orders?

Yeah.

I can bench
press and kill you anytime.

Alright, next.

How did the
date with Natalia go?

Yeah, it went good.

Did you get a kiss?

Yeah I got a kiss.

Anything more?

I got a second date.

Oh not bad, not bad.

Alright up you get.

Working hard I see.

Well some of us are.

You ready for your session?

Yeah the runner right?

The runner yes.

How far does she want?

Yeah, you'll see you're
in for a bit of a surprise.

Great.

Let's take this off.

Look at you two getting

closer on person over there.

Shut up.

Hey Nat?

Yeah?

Don't get pregnant now.

Go away!

Thank you by the way for last night.

Yeah thanks it was fun.

Yeah I actually
really enjoyed myself.

Yeah, I'm looking
forward to the next one.

Yeah me too.

Alright you ready?

Yeah I'm ready.

Well enjoy.

Thank you, have a good one.

Hello.

Hello.

What's your name?

Mona.

Mona, that's a pretty name.

Thank you.

How are you feeling?

Nervous.

I'll take good care of you.

I hope you will.

When was the last time you ran?

About eight years ago.

What do you remember about it?

I remember it was a
beautiful summer's day.

And I could feel the
grass under my feet.

And the air kissing my skin
as I ran, ran, ran through it.

Oh I can remember so
well, so clearly.

I'm gonna try and give you that.

Oh please, yes please.

I've always wondered what it
would be like to be very tall.

And now I know.

Not very sure about
the hairy legs though.

How fast do you want to go?

As fast as you'll take me.

Alright.

Faster, faster.

Faster, faster!

Come on you can go faster than that!

Faster still, come on, faster!

Oh this is brilliant.

Oh this is wonderful,
I'm running again!

Am I tiring you out yet?

You certainly are.

You don't look it,
you don't sound it.

And I don't feel tired at all,

I just feel fantastic!

Amazing, wonderful,
beyond my dreams!

Eight years I've waited to do this!

Ready for one last one?

Well make it a really good lap.

Come on.

Faster, faster, faster!

Run come on!

Oh Mona, you'll kill me.

That was brilliant,
absolutely brilliant.

How did the last session go?

Oh yeah good.

I noticed you did like
three or four, no, five or six

in the last day.

Yeah,
no it's was just on around four.

No, well the thing is no
more than three sessions

per day because it can
really mess up your LFTs.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Whoa, hey!

Ully!

Fuck.

Ully, hey, hey, Ully.

Get some help.

Ully wake up, hey, wake up.

Ully, come on wake up, Ully!

This is another strange
experience for me.

Are you comfortable?

Getting there.

Tell me about your family.

Well,
there's just the three of us.

My son, my granddaughter, and me.

My daughter in-law
died, what about you?

What sort of family
do you come from?

Well my family's here.

Here?

Yeah.

How big is your family?

Seven or eight of us.

There's seven now.

What do you mean seven now?

I recently lost
one of my brothers.

And you're sitting here
having dinner with me?

Yes.

And I'm really enjoying
it, thank you.

Well thank you.

But that's awful.

Was it expected?

No, but

I just feel pretty
responsible for it.

How?

Well he was under my
care when it happened.

How old was he?

26.

What?

Oh God.

You don't need to
tell me about loses...

Because...

...my son's wife she
died and I was actually

quite fond of her, very fond of her.

Anyway I have my granddaughter now

and she reminds me of her mother.

Tell me about your 20s.

My 20s, crikey that's
going back a little bit.

I had a wonderful time in my 20s.

I had a lovely flat in
London, lots of boyfriends.

I was doing a job I loved doing.

And what's not to like really?

What about you?

Eliezer I want you
as the front-runner

for our new publicity campaign

introducing this new technology.

What do you think think?

Max there's a high
amount of transadmonition

Think of it!

Your name will go down synonymous
with the likes of Marconi,

Tesla, Edison, Grabiec.

Max there's a high
amount of transadmonition...

You will go down in history,

Affecting the Protein.

As the man who
eradicated diseases,

got rid off phobias.

Max this could be
dangerous for these patients.

They could have autoimmune
diseases, lupus,

rheumatoid arthritis.

Wait a minute did you hear that?

Hear what?

What?

What were you saying?

I'm worried about
diseases in the subjects,

rheumatoid arthritis, lupus.

Your results are flawed!

We have built a fail safe into
the microchips which protects

all higher brain functions and
prevents any tissue damage!

Natalia's results
came back positive,

across the board.

Now this is what I want you to do.

I want you to go back to the
board, reset your diagnostics,

and then report back to me.

Think of it, on the
cover of New Scientist.

Is that what you've always wanted?

I think,

therefore I am.

Have you noticed anything
strange going on here?

No, what are you talking about?

People talking.

No one's talking Max.

No, I hear them.

I hear whisperings,
mutterings in the corridors.

Max, you're just being paranoid.

Did you hear that?

Max, you're just being paranoid.

Let go of me!

Your father came to me
in a vision, in a dream,

it's time to move to the next level.

Stop, I have to.

You know you have
your father's eyes?

He would've been proud of you today.

Max I saw you putting a microchip

into Axel's neck.

It's a monitoring
device, a new nano probe,

releases the chemical
compound, perfectly safe.

But why didn't you run it by me?

It was a gift for
you, and only for you.

You must understand,

it was a surprise.

A surprise?

A surprise.

But we run everything
by each other?

Did you hear that?

They stole the idea from me.

They're coming, he's coming.

I want you to monitor
from downstairs.

Do it now, go now!

Leander?

I need to speak to
you about something.

So I just went and spoke to Max

and basically I don't
think that you had anything

to do with Ully's death.

Of course I had
to do with Ully's death.

No it was nothing to do with
his health or anything so,

I basically saw Max putting
in these microchips into Axel.

And so then I did a
bit of research into it

and there's these new
microchips where they release

these like nano-bytes so
that someone could literally

have control over the
other person's brain.

So you're saying Max
is controlling the boys.

Well, I don't
know but when I spoke to.

It is possible?

Well I don't know but
then I asked Max about it

and he was being all
suspicious and weird about it

and so then it just made me think.

Motherfucker, let's go!

Max?

We know what's going on.

Max.

And the angel came down
from heaven with the key

to the bottomless pit and he said,

behold look what I have created.

Are you proud of
what we've done here?

Yes.

Max, that's not relevant.

We asked you a question.

Do you remember the
first time we met?

Yes.

Tell me.

You said I could
make a difference.

And have you made a difference?

Yes.

Have you made a difference?

Yes!

Are you proud of that difference?

Yes, but not like this.

We need to know if the microchip

is related to Ully's death?

Do you know what the
difference is between dying

for nothing and dying for something?

So the microchip was
related to his death?

You are my prodigal children,

my prodigal children have returned.

Sacrifices need to be made
to move forward in life.

Max you set me up!

No!

How could you let me
take the blame for this?

It was your incompetence
that killed him.

That's a lie Max, you know that.

Do you know what your father
said to me before he died?

He told me that you are such
a disappointment to him.

Both of you disgust me.

You're not willing to do
what it takes to go forward,

beyond reason, beyond the physical,

into the realms of thought.

You can't make an omelet
without breaking a few eggs.

Let me show you the results
of our new technology.

So what is this?

What are you doing?

Max stop it, Max come on!

Make them stop, make them stop!

Axel turn around.

Turn!

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Get off of me.

What's wrong with you?

We need to talk.

About what?

I need to know why
you are helping Max.

Helping Max with what?

With the microchips.

He told me I was gonna
be helping people out,

that I was gonna be doing good.

Helping people out for good?

Ully is dead.

I didn't know that would happen.

Well so you knew all along?

Yes but I didn't think it
would turn out like this.

You're a fucking asshole.

Thanks, I'm trying to solve
it and you're cussing me out.

Are you gonna help me or what?

Yes.

Great.

And then I'll break your neck.

Nice mate.

Guys,

just stop okay?

We just need to work
out what we're gonna do.

All these problems
started because of this.

One tiny microchip.

I just don't understand
how this power could've

changed him this much.

This is insane, is he just gonna

keep knocking us off one by one?

Don't say that kind of
thing, don't even joke.

I'm not joking.

Look, guys we just need to
get him out of The Generator,

that's all we need to do.

Oh that's all we need to do.

Nice and easy is it?

Look, we just need to get

him out of the control
tower for five minutes.

But that's impossible he
never leaves that place,

he's connected.

What's his weakness, how
do we draw him out of it?

Hey guys I've got an idea.

Good, I think
you're gonna need this.
