Lucy (2014) Edit

A reminder.

A Siamese with blue eyes and a broken tail.

A thousand dollars.

A young woman calling to tip us off about a big drugs ring.

After control of ourselves and others

Ah!

Aha.

Ahhh!

All of my research?

All this knowledge about everything,

All you know now is pain. That's all you know, pain.

Also, I can control magnetic and electric waves.

And ask for him at the reception.

And bounce.

And defend their integrity till the very end.

And go from evolution to revolution.

And how long will it take my body

And I can start to control other people's bodies.

And I need you to put your hands up, please.

And I wanna thank you for the thousand kisses

And now that I have access

And realize that what makes us us

And she's trying to connect with our computers.

And take down everything I say.

And the car disappears.

And this is the crucial part of our

And we don't know any more than a dog who watches the moon.

And what to say about Darwin,

And what will be the next stage?

And what you wrote is true.

And why don't you do it yourself?

And you are never gonna guess where he took me.

And you know what I found out? What?

And you might rediscover the freedom

And you'll find within a month,

And you're wonderful.

Animal life on Earth goes back millions of years.

Answer me!

Answer me.

Any suggestions?

Are going to love, believe me.

Are growing and you ache all over.

Are you one of Emily's friends?

Are you sure you need such huge doses?

As I mentioned earlier, Miss Lucy has,

At least 40% of our brain's capacity.

At the top of the animal chain

Baby, it's great to hear from you!

Be immortal

Because they don't even take your phone number.

Because they don't give a shit about your time gabbing away in Chinese.

Bon voyage!

BOTH: Four Seasons, Royal Suites, and we made love all night.

But all of this knowledge, Lucy...

But for any of those who may be tempted

But for that, we would need to access

But I find that hard to believe.

But I have to be honest with you.

But I have to take care of myself right now.

But if humans are not the unit of measure

But it isn't until we reached human beings

But it's a lot if you look at all we've done with it.

But it's not.

But it's only ever been hypotheses and research ideas.

But let's start at the beginning. What is your name?

But now we're entering into the realm of science fiction

But one plus one has never equaled two.

But the dolphin did not invent the sonar, it developed it naturally.

But what time is it over there?

But what would happen if, for some reason we ignore,

C.P.H.4.

Calm down, please.

Can I borrow your laptop?

Can we therefore conclude

Can you believe I can remember

Can you describe the contents of the case?

Can you give us an example?

Captain Del Rio.

Cells get together, take on one form,

Cells group together, forming a giant web of communication,

Come on.

Come with me, please.

DEL RIO: Hello?

Del Rio.

Did you get the packets?

Died in a car accident.

Do it now.

Do something about them.

Do we have you for dinner tonight?

Do you get paid to do this?

Do you mind?

Do you mind? No.

Do you speak English or don't you speak English?

Do you speak English?

Do you understand English?

Does that make any sense?

Don't bother.

Don't bother.

Don't get paranoid on me, all right?

Don't leave the car there. Park it up.

Don't move.

Don't stand there, kill her!

Don't try anything. Keep your cool. You're alive.

Each one is carrying a kilo of drugs.

ELECTRONIC VOICE: Take the first left.

Even my Stetson was made here. Look.

Every cell knows and talks to every other cell.

Everything's different now.

Except this one guy, but he's not Chinese.

Excuse me, sir. Yes.

Excuse me?

Excuse me.

Fear,

Film a car speeding down a road.

For a baby, it packs the power of an atomic bomb.

For delivering paperwork? Really?

For reasons that remain a mystery to me,

For the moment, it's just hypothesis, I confess.

For the transfer.

Gaining time.

Gentlemen, madam, allow me to be the first to wish you

Gentlemen, this is Lucy, the first woman to...

Get off your desk, sit in your chair,

Give me the case.

Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Going through time.

Good, good! Excellent.

Good! (CLEARS THROAT) Anyway,

Good.

Got it?

Great.

Had notion of cells centuries before

Has it been proved scientifically?

Have a good rest. Thank you.

Having

He comes down, he takes the case,

He doesn't trust Mr. Richard.

He gave me a paper with numbers written on it. What is this?

He isn't home from the gym yet.

He wants you to hurry up.

He works at the agency and he's cute.

He's dead.

Hello? Lucy.

Hello.

Here at the university? (LINE DISCONNECTS)

Here,

Hey, hey. What are you doing?

Hey, I'd rather be late than dead.

Hey, that's one way. We're late.

Hey, you!

Hey, you.

Hey!

Hey! Lucy.

Hey! Miss!

Hold on a Sec, let me get rid of the other line.

Hospital!

How are you? MAN: Very good, my dear.

How did you manage to access all this information?

How do you do?

How many men left?

How much is left?

I absorbed a large quantity of synthetic C.P.H.4.

I can feel my brain,

I can feel the gravity.

I can feel the rotation of the Earth,

I can remember the feeling of your hand

I can't believe you did this to me.

I can't deliver the case myself.

I can't, Mr. Jang's the only one who has the key.

I can't. Take this off me right now!

I didn't realize that they'd succeeded.

I don't care about the scar.

I don't feel good.

I don't know anything!

I don't know anything! Please! Please!

I don't know what to do with it.

I don't know, it's just some paperwork.

I don't know, it's night.

I don't know. I've got to concentrate on so many things.

I don't know. It takes me 10 minutes and they pay me a grand

I don't trust Richard, either.

I feel everything.

I got you bacon...

I had a little falling out with the guy.

I have about 25 with me.

I have come to the university,

I have no idea.

I have to shower and I have to study, okay?

I just hope we will be worthy of your sacrifice.

I just read all your research on the human brain.

I just wanna tell you that I love you,

I know that.

I know who everyone is.

I love you, Mom.

I mean, from the very beginning,

I mean...

I missed you.

I must have written no less than...

I need help. It's urgent.

I need the rest of it, for medicinal purposes.

I need to speak with someone

I need to talk to somebody.

I need to talk to you alone.

I need you to arrest them and collect the substance.

I need you to remove it. It's leaking.

I never thought anyone would...

I only dated him for a week.

I read your theory on the use of the brain's capacity.

I remember stroking the cat, it was so soft.

I remember the taste of your milk in my mouth.

I see things clearly

I think it's better if you stay right here.

I trust you.

I'd heard they tried to make a synthetic version of it.

I'd say

I'll be at your door in 12 hours.

I'll be honest with you.

I'll be right here. You have my word.

I'll build a computer and download all my knowledge in it.

I'll call you. Okay?

I'll check with Surgery.

I'll find a way for you to have access to it.

I'll kill her myself.

I'm afraid it's our business model.

I'm afraid so. I'm exhausted.

I'm afraid you won't survive.

I'm amazed you're still alive.

I'm back. You're not partying too much, are you?

I'm begging you, please.

I'm colonizing my own brain.

I'm counting on you.

I'm fine. I'm fine.

I'm going home, because I have exams on Monday.

I'm gonna be sending you the details

I'm gonna take a shower.

I'm having trouble precisely evaluating the time of my death,

I'm here for, uh...

I'm here, boss.

I'm just going to examine, okay?

I'm just supposed to deliver this case.

I'm not even sure that mankind is ready for it.

I'm not in the mood.

I'm not sure I could be of any help for you.

I'm showing up in the same hotel, with the same cowboy hat.

I'm so sorry. I really have no choice.

I'm so sorry. I really need your help.

I'm sorry, I'm talking about myself. What's up? How's Richard?

I'm sure I don't need to remind you,

I'm trying to, Mom. I am trying to.

I'm very pleased to meet you.

I'm very sorry, but you really need to close your table now.

I'm, uh...

I've got a weird call from a US citizen in Taiwan.

I've never driven before.

I've no time to waste.

If it really is C.P.H.4,

If its habitat is not

If the habitat is favorable...

If the habitat is not sufficiently favorable or nurturing...

If you lost the key, you don't have to chop off my hand.

If you think about

If you're asking me

Ignorance brings chaos, not knowledge.

In order to attain the last few percent, I have to force it

In other words, self sufficiency and self management.

In other words, self sufficiency and self management.

In Paris.

In particular,

In the cute and I kinda know it kinda way.

In this quantity,

In tiny quantities.

Interesting things begin to happen.

Is a total 10 turning up to deliver the case.

It acts more as a reflex.

It might bring us only instability and chaos.

It'll blow his mind. Come on!

It's a little rudimentary, but you're on the right track.

It's all just a big mistake, okay? Please tell him that.

It's blocking you from understanding.

It's easy as pie. In and out, all done and dusted.

It's four plastic pouches filled with a blue powder. Like a...

It's funny, I used to be so concerned

It's like all things that make us human are fading away.

It's like the less human I feel,

It's locked. And only Mr. Jang has the code.

It's not possible to determine any sign of intelligence yet.

It's nothing major, but if it's you, problem solved.

It's paperwork.

It's primitive.

It's probably just some designs

It's the code to open the case.

It's troubling to realize that the Greeks,

It's true, I've been working on this theory for over 20 years,

It's up to us to push the rules and laws

It's very well done.

It's what gives the fetus

Just a little (SNIFFLING) horizontal slit.

Just a second while I translate.

Just Lucy. If he could be quick, because I have to...

Just take the flight.

Kill her and get the pouch.

Learning's always a painful process.

Let me introduce you to my colleagues.

Let's go, guys!

Let's go.

Like he had this thing... Oh, my God, and his ass!

Like how much?

Like this pain you're experiencing.

Like when you're little and your bones

Likewise.

Listen up, Pierre Del Rio.

Listen, it's the third time this week,

Listen! What?

Look! You can even see the reception from here.

Lovely.

Luce, I don't understand any of this.

Lucy what?

Lucy, honey...

Lucy, right? Yes, sorry.

LUCY: Life was given to us a billion years ago.

LUCY: Okay, okay. Keep calm.

LUCY: Please!

LUCY: Professor Norman, my name's Lucy.

Lucy! Yes, I'm Lucy.

Lucy.

Makes no difference, it's all the same.

MAN: Miss! Open the door! You really have to go back to your seat!

MAN: Nothing!

Many thanks for taking part in this enterprise,

Marvelous! Lovely, lovely.

May I have a glass of champagne?

May I?

Maybe a purple powder.

Me, too.

Miss, I have to ask you to put away your computers now.

Miss, may I help you?

Miss, please, open the door!

Miss!

Miss!

Mom? Yes?

More than anything in the world.

Move!

Mr. Jang has other things to do.

Mr. Jang insists that you open the case. Okay, okay.

Mr. Jang said you need to stay right here.

Mr. Jang wants to know what's in the case.

Mr. Jang.

My leg!

No, I don't know what's in the case.

No, I'm all on my own.

No, no, no!

No, no. How much do you get paid? I want to know how much.

No!

No!

No! Please!

No! Take it off me right now!

No.

No.

No.

Nobody move!

NORMAN: For primitive beings like us, life seems to have only one single purpose,

NORMAN: If life starts approximately a billion years ago,

NORMAN: Let's imagine for a few moments

NORMAN: Now let's discuss a special case.

NORMAN: She's looking for energy and matter.

Not all of them, just the most basic.

Not for long.

Nothing dangerous.

Of calling together a few of my colleagues to discuss your case.

Of existence on their uniqueness.

Of life has been

Of the families of every one of you,

Of three people about to arrive in Europe.

Of which only 15% are activated.

Oh, thank you.

Oh! It's her! It's her!

Oh.

Oh. Evening, Professor.

Okay, boss!

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay, okay.

Okay, we got all three.

Okay! We are negotiating now or...

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

On my forehead when I ran a fever.

On the other hand,

One neuron, you're alive. Two neurons,

One plus one equals two. That's all we've learned.

Or to reproduce.

Paris.

Pass it on.

Phew! Let me get started on that!

Philosophical reflection we have today.

Pick up the red pen to the left of you

Plastic bird hanging from the rear view mirror. (GIRL LAUGHING)

Please do something, help me! Please!

Please tell him that I haven't done anything. I don't know anything.

Please, get out!

Please, say something. Are you okay? Miss?

Please!

Powder. Hidden in plastic pouches inside their intestines.

Pregnant women manufacture C.P.H.4

Previously unexplored cerebral zones.

PROFESSOR 1: Oh, my God. What's happening?

PROFESSOR 2: What is she making?

Professor, my cells are reproducing at a phenomenal speed.

PROFESSOR: Look. The computer, it's moving.

Put the gun down.

Radio.

Ready?

Rest assured, we didn't harvest your organs or anything.

Richard gave me the case to give to you, that's all I know.

Richard, I really do like you.

Richard, I will call you.

Richard.

Richard's... He's just looking for a place to park.

Right now, I'm at 28 percent

Right.

Right. Um... First of all,

Ringing that bell like some nutbar!

Save time.

Save time.

Says so on the label, "Made in Taiwan."

Search the whole building and find her!

Several million per second.

Shall we go?

She has abilities.

She is armed and dangerous.

She's a witch.

Since an hour ago.

Since when did you start writing in Chinese?

Sir, come with us.

Sir, sir, excuse me, sir.

Sir? Yes.

So I spent all of yesterday in auditions, which are awesome.

So if you're asking me what to do

So that we might recover our merchandise

So they've rooted their whole theory

So what proof do we have of its existence?

So why won't he open it himself?

So, do you think you could meet us

So, look, I am no longer at the hotel now.

So, we rely, therefore, on your complete discretion.

So, you'll be able to show your tummy off on the beach next summer.

Some cells inside me will fight

Somebody put a bag of drugs in me.

Somebody unlocked 100% of their cerebral capacity?

Sorry, sir.

Space,

Speed up the image infinitely

Splendid, splendid!

Stop! Stop it! Take this off me right now!

Sufficiently favorable or nurturing...

Sure.

SURGEON: Miss! Hello?

Sweetie, what are you talking about?

Sweetie, you can't possibly remember that.

Take me to the hospital now. Hospital.

Take the flight, get out of here.

Take this medication, work out, eat organic.

Telephone.

Television.

Tell me about it.

Than being?

Than there are stars in the galaxy.

Thank you for sharing.

Thank you.

That damn girl, she doesn't give in.

That divided into two cells.

That humans are concerned more with

That I can still feel on my face.

That is more efficient than any sonar invented by mankind.

That make up earthworms and human beings

That way, when they die,

That we finally see a species use more of its cerebral capacity.

That will allow me to use 100% of my cerebral capacity.

That's amazing.

That's her.

That's him! Pick him up.

That's how it works in this country.

That's the main thing right now. Just save time.

The air,

The blood in my veins.

The cat? What cat, honey?

The cell will choose immortality.

The cell will choose immortality.

The deepest parts of my memory...

The development of the first cell

The Egyptians and the Indians

The first ever woman was named Lucy.

The heat leaving my body,

The infinite capacity of a cell's nucleus.

The invention of the microscope.

The last thing the guy's expecting

THE LIMEY: Okay.

The liquid...

The only living being that uses its brain better than us.

The only real purpose of each of the cells in our bodies.

The pain in my mouth

The people.

The product is very powerful.

The room,

The scar is practically invisible.

The sole purpose

The sound of my own bones growing?

The tumor had already invaded the cortex

The very nature of life,

There are more connections in the human body

There are no cameras. Hurry up!

There are no more obstacles. They fall away like dominoes.

There was no higher purpose.

These lovely passports and tickets

They exchange a thousand bits of information between them per second.

They hand down essential information and knowledge

They just have you standing around all day

They switched so they can copy them.

They'll be safer in my hands.

They're all exploding inside my brain, all this knowledge.

They're all obstacles.

They're safe.

This allows it

This first stage

This has just been a terrible mistake.

This is a police car.

This is Professor Cartier, neurosurgeon.

This is where life as we know it begins.

This sounds like one of her silly jokes. Is she there with you?

Time gives legitimacy to its existence.

Time is the only true unit of measure.

Time to go then.

To achieve that aim, the mass of the cells

To answer that, I need to know what it is.

To crack the cells open to their nucleus.

To eliminate the rest of it?

To knowledge.

To make it comprehensible.

To put everyone to sleep like that.

To warn or turn themselves in to the authorities,

To which we have almost no access.

Top minds in their field and very trustworthy.

TRANSLATOR: Hello, miss. I speak English. I translate for Mr. Jang.

TRANSLATOR: Mr. Jang wants to offer you a job.

Uh, yes.

Um, Richard sent me.

Um, yes. Of course.

Um...

Unlocked certain portions of her brain

Uses up to 20% of its cerebral capacity.

Usually, you call us in the morning.

We are now beginning our descent to Paris Charles de Gaulle.

We don't exist.

We have the names and addresses

We merely slipped a little package into your lower tummy.

We need to meet.

We never really die.

We took delivery of your package.

We will have to wait 400,000 years

We won't be able to hold them for much longer.

We're gonna land soon! Open the door!

We're gonna land soon. Please! Open the door.

We're so driven by power and profit.

We've codified our existence to bring it down to human size

We've created a scale so that we can forget its unfathomable scale.

Welcome to Rome.

Welcome, come on in. Lovely! Oops!

Welcome!

Well, (CLEARS THROAT) I don't know what to... Say.

Well, it's none of my business either, I'll tell you now.

Well, thanks for calling out of the blue like this.

Well, the next stage would probably be control of other people.

Well, the scientific term is C.P.H.4.

What did you do to my stomach?

What do you mean, sweetie?

What for?

What form are these drugs in? Bars? Capsules?

What governs all that?

What have we done with it?

What I'm saying is that your theory is not a theory.

What is this? A prescription.

What is your name?

What our life would be like if we could access, let's say,

What to do...

What you did back there, that freaked me out.

What's in it?

What's in the case?

What's really in here?

What's that? Korean. I'm gonna drive.

When he put forth his theory of evolution.

When I had braces.

Where are we going?

Where I've taken the liberty

Where is she?

Which I'm sure will go off flawlessly.

Which in turn forms matter.

Which is not very sexy from a sales point of view.

Which you so richly deserve.

Who should I say is here?

Who understands Chinese? I don't understand Chinese.

Whom everybody took for a fool

Will enable you to return home in the next 24 hours.

With a scar on her lower abdomen?

With all this knowledge you're accumulating,

With more authority in this office than me.

With the shot I gave her, she'll be out all day.

With who I was and what I wanted to be

Without time,

WOMAN: Hello? Mom?

Would come control of matter.

Would give us access to and control of our own body.

Yeah, I just have a nosebleed.

Yeah, kind of.

Yeah, of course.

Yeah, sure.

Yeah? Let's see it then.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yes, I do. I studied one year at International High School in New York.

Yes, okay, okay. Hold on.

Yes, um...

Yes, you are.

Yes?

Yes.

Yes.

Yet most species only use 3 to 5% of its cerebral capacity.

You ask for Mr. Jang to come down.

You can control your own metabolism?

You can't. No, this is not possible, lady.

You cannot be in here. We are operating!

You flash him your prettiest smile

You get paid a thousand dollars

You guys are crazy.

You have to wait. Just play for time.

You know what? The other day, I was in this museum.

You know,

You know, as a cop you see some pretty weird shit.

You must remain seated!

You need to make some lifestyle changes.

You okay?

You promised me you'd look after yourself.

You scared the shit out of me,

You should wipe your nose.

You speak English? Yes, yes.

You trust me, don't you?

You walk in there, you go up to the reception,

You wouldn't have been able to save him anyway.

You'll be okay.

You'll have time to think it through on the plane.

You're alive, babe. You're alive.

You're an asshole.

You're in Paris? Yes, I am.

You're leaving? Yes.

You're moving, and with movement,

You're very lucky, there's no one

Your daughter, Gabrielle, age six,

Your kidneys aren't functioning efficiently, your liver's failing you.

Your word isn't worth shit!

6,734 pages. I can recite them to you all by heart, if you wish.

10% may not seem like much,

100 billion neurons per human,

500 grams.

Grab us some food. You're a foodaholic.

How is she? Fine. She's sleeping.

I'll take it. I'll tape you.

She's awake! Are you sure?

You didn't restrain her? Sure, we did!

"One" is their unit of measure.
