(answering machine)
hi, this is lucy.

leave me
a message.

(beeping)

Are you okay?

mmm.
what happened?

I don't know--
i feel--

I feel
a little sick.

i'm sorry
i overreacted.

You were right.

We should get
to symacore.



Yeah...
yeah, we should.

Um, maybe we could
go inside first.

Okay.
okay.

Mmm.

You have no idea how much
i've longed for this.

(woman)
good morning, six!

Good morning.

we all dream of finding
our perfect partner.

Well, now, it's your
turn to be matched.

I'm here to tell you
about your appoint--

Appointment with
the modern love bureau.

(six)
you've gotta
be kidding me!

Let science take
the risk out of--

Out of
the romance.



Our high-tech
syst-system

Can find you the soul
mate you deserve.

(six)
this came under
my door this morning.

Well, it's the way
couples get together here.

Why don't
you try it?

And what would
be the point?

Well, you might meet
someone you like.

you might learn
something about yourself.

Or-or maybe you already know
everything there is to know

About six
and his feelings.

What is it?

Something to do
with the weather.

Ambiance anomaly,
apparently.

Whoa, don't slip.

(woman)
we usually begin by
asking our clients

to talk about
themselves a little bit

In a relaxed but
revealing sort of a way.

It's best if you don't look
directly into the camera,

As you talk,
as it can come over

As rather hectoring
to a potential match.

You really think you
can manufacture love?

Since the introduction of
blink-match technology,

new data shows that
extramarital affairs

Are down to a new low of
18% in matched marriages.

Blink-match
technology.

That's great.

We have enough to make
a blink personality splice.

(typing on keyboard)

I know what you're
trying to do to me.

You're trying to fix me
up with some woman,

some distraction.

I'm not staying here.

I must admit,
i find it sexy

When a man has a touch
of rebellion in him.

I like the sparks.

(giggling)

I have the same thing.

I-i like a relationship
with a little edge to it.

A man with a touch
of mystery about him

Makes me feel
curious about him.

What do you
think, six?

She's free tomorrow.

Would you like
to meet her?

What?

was that okay?

I just want to-- i want
to lie here for a while.

Is that okay?

Why not?

Can i let you
into a secret?

I looked
in your file.

(six, laughing)
i hope
you don't mind.

No vacation.

No relationships.

I guess all those reports
got to me a little bit.

Let's go.

What?
do something.

In fact, hit the enemy
where it hurts.

Okay.

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.

(laughing)
i-i-i don't know what
is up with me tonight.

(two)
do you think there's
a part of you

that wants to
betray him?

No.

No part of me.

I think there is.

Or else,
why do it?

Please.

Oh, of course, you have
no choice in the matter.

Let's not pretend
it is otherwise.

You are
a dreamer, 313.

And dreamers vanish,
as you know.

But betrayal,

It's such a fascinating
human attribute.

And since we are passing
the time of day here tonight.

Do i like you?

I don't know.

You don't know me.

Do you dream?

Do you tell yourself
there will be a moment

To somehow spring
free from all of this

And explain to him
the impossibility

Of your
predicament?

You were noble,
decent, admirable.

You didn't really
forsake him.

And you will
be a liar.

indulge me.

To betray
someone you love.

And i don't mean to catch
my hand in the filing cabinet.

Thursday afternoon...

I mean to fundamentally
betray someone you love.

That is...

Would i like you,
if i knew you?

I don't know.

I've long believed
that we look for beauty

In all the
wrong places.

You see, if you betray
the one person you love,

Then there must be
something you want more

Than to hurt
his love.

Hmm.

Well, he'll be
with us soon enough.

(sighing)

Ah...

Good morning, six.

Time for matching--

(doorbell ringing)

Time for matching
stage two.

I-i'm 415.

Really?

I'm not what
you expected?

Oh, yes,
you are.

You're exactly
what i expected.

(giggling)

There was something
in your voice.

i don't miss
that kind of thing.

Those matching people
know their stuff, huh?

Can i ask you
about yourself?

Jump in.

What do you
wanna know?

I don't know.

Uh, where
do you live?

Over the bridge,
apartment 415.

But-but you haven't
lived there long?

Ever since i left
my parents' home.

Are you sure?

I think
i would know.

(giggling)
you're kinda
strange, six.

I like it.

You can ask.

It's okay.

How did it happen?

There's nothing
wrong with my eyes.

I was six years old.

I woke up one morning,
and they'd stopped working.

They said it was caused
by some kind of trauma.

Something happened
when i was asleep.

do you mind?

Nice bones.

I like.

I feel like
i know you already,

Like we've met before
in some whole other life.

(nervous laughter)
six, you really
are strange.

But you mean it--
i can hear that.

Four-fifteen, i'd like
to get to know you.

Well, that's what
we're here for.

I'd like to get to
know you tonight.

Oh.

(415)
this isn't like me,
you know, really.

ask anyone
who knows me.

No surprises.

No sudden moves.

And then, all this.

It's like the
dials are spinning

And here i am,
letting go.

Maybe that's it.

What?

Maybe that's
how love takes us.

We should.

Okay.

What was that?

Oh, the purpose
for, um, but then--

Who needs purpose?

Did anyone
tell you--

You have the most
enchanting eyes?

Are you sure
you're okay?

Just some
kind of bug.

(scrambling noise)

What is it?

What if it's true?

What if we had...

What if we had
one night together

In some other life,
before the village?

Six, no one can be so
hopelessly romantic.

What if i know
it's real?

That i can
remember it?

Remember us?

Come here.

You were standing
in the window,

Just like this.

Lucy?

What did-- what
did you call me?

You know something,
don't you?

Well, yes-- i know it's
crazy to talk like this.

Some other life.

I have to go.

I'm sorry--
i promise you.

I won't talk about
these crazy things.

I promise you.
okay.

Let's just slow
it all down, okay?

I'll go now, and
i'll see you tomorrow.

You and me,
in this other life,

Where did
our story end?

I don't recall.

(moaning)

You're a
friend of six's.

six trusts you.

You'll have to
ask him that.

I already did.

Oh.

What are they?

I want to know
what's in them,

What they do.

Look, i'm not
a chemist.

I can't--
but you can
find out for me.

I have a
question for you.

Is six a crazy?

No-- no, he's not.

You want to
know about her?

About six?

It's all right, 1112.

It was always my
intention to tell you.

I didn't bargain for six
pushing things along.

If you know,
it will change everything.

There will be no going
back to innocence.

I want to know.

You want to know.

about your mother?

To know about my mother.

I should
report it, right?

Should i
report it?

(six)
could be a way
outta here.

(woman)
cake's out
of the oven!

I'm gonna
have some cake

And, uh, then maybe
i'll report it.

Eight-three-two!
wee!

I'll call the clinic
before they find out

About this thing.

(laughing)

She likes you, six.

I think it's
the cake she likes.

Yeah-yeah, i wanna report
something in my garden.

How did your
date go, six?

She knows something,
but she won't admit it.

All righty, who's going
to make the toast?

(cork popping)

Ooh!

Even i
have to admit

There must be something
to this matching thing,

If it brought
you two together.

(chuckling)
la-la-la-la-la-la.

Cheers.
cheers.

Where's 8-3-2?

De-da-la-la-la-de-da.

Wee!

Eight-three-two!

Eight-three-two!

Eight-three-two!

Eight-three-two!

Eight-three-two!

Hey, what
are you doing?

Hey, get off of me!

What are you doing--
my baby is down there!

(indistinct chatter)

You left
the door open.

(reporter)
in the latest move to
combat ambiance anomalies,

the clinic has announced
that every home

is to be
given a pig.

studies have shown
conclusively

that swine breath

is a proven
atmosphere stabilizer,

and scientists are confident
that this will reduce

significantly the risk
of further disturbances

in the short to
medium future.

moreover, if you order
now, you can get two.

Some friends of mine
have lost their child.

She's fallen
down into a hole.

it's not the weather!

People want something
they can believe in, six.

It is the weather.

They want to come together
and make a difference.

They volunteer for pig
distribution duties.

They love that!

And then, we can all get on
with our wonderful lives,

Our families,
our romances.

And what about
you, six?

Don't you have a head
full of her, hmm?

Tell the truth--
tell yourself the truth.

Wouldn't you rather
be with 4-15, hmm?

Aren't you just
longing to be at her?

Know what i mean?

At her?

Isn't that
more human?

No.

It's destroying them,

My friends, not knowing
where their child is.

(two)
the only way
of knowing,

the only possibility
of getting the child back

Is to go after her.

You choose,
you decide.

Well, if you're
telling me

I can go there and
save that little girl,

I'll do it.

And you'd do that without
knowing what's down there,

For someone
else's child?

What is this thing?

It's a nothing.

It's oblivion.

it's beyond
all hope.

The child
is gone, six.

Does he not love
her enough, now?

Oh, no.

He's hardly begun.

What he feels only scrapes
at the skin of love.

Let him go where
love is terrible.

Is it possible to
love someone too much?

Does he have to come
in here every night?

Love is a torment
or it is not love.

It'll crack him
right open.

And then, we can
see the six inside,

The inside six.

He can't understand
why you don't kill him.

Perhaps, we will kill her
when we get to that place.

How would
that feel?

I don't want
you to kill her.

We always save our best
lies for ourselves.

Do i like you?

Come up to
the house.

Would you
like that?

I'd like you
to sit with me.

Sit with me
and see.

What do you make of
this holes business, six?

I know it's got nothin'
to do with the weather.

I gotta take this thing
seriously, you know?

That's why we've got
ourselves two pigs.

We're a two pig
family.

Leave that alone!

(pigs squealing)
come on--
leave that!

She was such an
adventurous kid.

Damn, i've asked myself
a thousand times.

Why my little girl?

Twenty-nine,
forty-four...

Has 4-15 been away
in the last few weeks?

Away-- where, son?

We've seen our little
girl every single day

Since she was--
since...

What did we
do wrong?

did we not love
her enough?

We still hope,
you know, for...

That there will be
a little miracle.

Now that she's been
matched, she's so happy.

Maybe this is it.

What do you
say, six?

Are you gonna
be the one

who's gonna make it all
good as gold?

* oh leave
it there *

* take your burdens to
the lord and leave it there *

* if you trust
and never doubt *

* he will surely
bring you out *

* take your burdens to
the lord and leave it there *

* oh leave
it there *

* take your burdens to
the lord and leave it there *

What i can
tell you,

It doesn't mean
that you'll find her--

I have no medical records
for your mother.

I've not
examined her.

I don't know what
her condition is.

Her condition is
in those pills.

* leave it there

* oh leave
it there *

* oh leave
it there *

* take your burdens to
the lord and leave it there *

a sedative.

A cocktail
of sedatives.

Extremely powerful
sleeping drug.

a hallucinogen,

A type i've never
come across before.

It contains a compound
that's not in our records.

This is...

Well...

This has no
known contents.

How could they match me
with a man like that, huh?

Look at him.

He does nothing.

Sit with me, 313.

Please,
wh-why am i here?

If i touch your hair,
you can refuse.

We can
all refuse.

We have
choices,

So long as we can live
with the consequences.

Oh, damned
consequences, huh?

And if i touch your face,
if i touch you here,

in this room,
she can sense us.

i know she can.

Oh, it'd break
her heart.

i can remove 4-15,

and you can have six
all to yourself.

No, i want--
i want him to choose.

My question for you
is the treatment.

Can you do it
in reverse?

Can you get rid
of this longing?

I'm not sure.

B-but, yes.

It must be
possible...

The, uh, signs can work
in a contrary direction,

And we can
make someone--

Un-love.

She's right--
i... do... nothing!

We will not be doing
any such thing, of course.

Why should we?

But we know that it is
there, you and i,

If either of us
should ever need it.

Go and be with him.

That is
what you want.

(six)
they come in
the night and take me.

i'm sure of it.

No, six.

It's in your mind,
that's all.

Three-one-three, please
just help me tonight.

I trust you.

Stay with me.

Two was right.

I could've said no.

If you choose her,

I don't know if
i can bear that.

They'll, uh...
they'll be coming soon.

So, uh,
you just sleep.

Just-just sleep.

Hmm.

Now see how
different he looks.

he is-- how shall
we describe it?

He is touched.

we should be
amazed by love,

by its capacity to
make us and to ruin us.

But you, 313,
of course,

Look how far
it's brought you.

You, who know all
about consequences.

(gasping)

Oh, 313.

You see what
love can do?

313, how is it
possible?

Your love, six.

What is it?

Gene symmetry therapy.

we scanned the
brains of people

Who'd fallen in love.

And we discovered--
and you'll like this, six--

That the more there was
gene similarity

Between people,

The more
they fell in love.

And so, we replicated by
transplanting 4-15's genes

into you.

I feel...

Your emotions
are manufactured, six.

But what did i feel

Before you gave me
these feelings?

If you can do this...

What is love?

You defied me, 313.

A little reckless,
perhaps.

Your punishment
is already in you.

And now that you know
the way of things, six,

Do you still want
to marry her?

Do you?

Yes.
good.

Now...

This isn't me.

Somebody is making
this happen.

i have to go.

one thing first.

Breakfast.

tell me what you
want for breakfast.

Isn't that the same?

If we don't go,
isn't that what they want?

I just want to
buy you breakfast.

Oranges.

Oranges.

Hey!

Where are we
going with this?

You tell me.

I don't know...

No.
i-i feel like saying--

Marry me.

Shh!

It'll keep.

You like to push
it, don't you, six?

Yes.

Marry me.

Go!

Yes.
yes?

Yes.

(church bells ringing)

(collective chatter)

(1891)
i look at the joy i bring
to so many lives,

and i say to myself,
"1891,

"you make
a difference."

313...

I didn't think
you were comin'.

Six.

Okay, um...

Look, there are two
kinds of viruses used

In gene symmetry
therapy.

What i gave you,
six, it won't last.

313,

I want you
to be my friend.

oh, the veil!
(giggling)

Celebrate with me.

(gasping)

What--
what is it?

What's happening?
did he just
kiss her?

is that what
happened here?

(six)
honey-- honey!

You really are
rather smitten,

Aren't you, 313?

What you will never
know, of course,

Is whether your feelings
are genuine or--

I have to go.

I'm not safe for
you to be around.

Whatever you do,
stay away.

we'll come back
to this-- i promise.

What's going on--
are you okay?

(choking up)
what if we said-- what if
we promised each other

We-we'd always
come back to this?

we'd never
let us go?

Lucy?

lucy?

Where am i?

We're in the
desert, lucy.

Uh, what did
you call me?

We've met before.

I know that
for you to hear,

This might not
make any sense.

But you're
called lucy.

We met in a place
called new york.

We had one night
together.

I am 4-15.

Who are you?

I am 4-15.

Who are you?

I am 4-15.

Who are you?

I am lucy.

I-i am lucy.

(sobbing)
i'm lucy, i'm lucy.

Why did you do that--
the blindness?

Be-because they knew
if i looked at you,

You would know that
they sent me here.

I came here
to love you.

No!

I'm cured of you!

You tell me
why you're here!

Two brought me
here to love you.

Two brought me here
to break your heart.

I'm glad you're
cured of me.

147?

I'm gonna find
my little girl, six.

But there's
nothing down there.

Nothing.

If what you want is
oblivion, then jump.

do it.

If it's too much
for you to bear, go.

but don't lie
to yourself.

don't lie
to your wife.

You're not gonna
find your daughter.

she's gone.

(sobbing)

Tell me you know that
and you still wanna jump.

I can accept
that, my friend.

I'll watch you go.

You love
your wife.

You could
save her.

(shattered glass,
debris falling)

(man shouting)
