In 2032 in the eastern United States,
Flynn checks on her brother Burton, who lives in a
trailer outside the house.
Burton is playing a game on his VR set and explains he has a big
competition tonight that will give them enough money
for their mom's medicine. Then he hands
Flynn his headset so she can win the level for him.
In the game, Flynn takes over her brother's
avatar and immediately guides the rest of the party
into fighting back with a better strategy,
winning the level in just a few seconds.
Then she checks the body of an opponent and discovers the
Here's the important map the party have been looking for.
Afterward Flynn goes to her job at the 3D print shop.
Burton's friends come by to drop a box for
Burton, which contains a new kind of headset sent
by a Colombian company called Milagros Calderon.
The cost is absolutely free,
but Flynn has to scan her eye as the equivalent of a signature
to confirm she got the box.
Later at home, Burton explains that he was asked to beta test this new
headset since he crossed level 100 on another game.
However it had been Flynn who did that
And since this gig will pay well, Flynn agrees to do it.
Burton puts the headset on her and when Flynn opens her eyes,
she finds herself in Burton's avatar riding a motorbike.
As she explores the city,
Flynn is amazed by the fact she can feel everything.
Suddenly a computer voice in
her head welcomes her to the game
and warns her she'll also be able to feel pain.
Flynn must do whatever the voice says to earn her keep.
The voice gives her directions until
she makes it to Buckingham Palace,
where the bike disappears as soon as she gets off.
When she says the words I've arrived,
the door opens and servants appear in front of her,
asking her name. After saying a codename,
Flynn goes into another room and does some
tricks to test the game. Afterward she goes to the garden,
where a company known as Research Institute or RI is hosting a party.
The voice tells Flynn to flirt with Mariel
and convince her to take her avatar home.
When Flynn starts talking to Mariel,
the woman pauses the game for some privacy,
and she's quickly charmed by Flynn's words.
They leave in Mariel's car and they start kissing while
a robot servant drives. Suddenly
the voice says Flynn must take the glass vial from Mariel's
pocket and open it under her nose.
Flynn does so and Mariel passes out, causing the driver to
attack. The robot uses kicks and fists before taking out a knife,
but Flynn fights back,
Hitting the driver a few times before reaching
the brakes to make the car stop at the same
time she uses the knife to kill the driver.
Then the voice makes Flynn take the car
to a closed alley, where she says I've arrived
to make the wall open and meet Aelita, the person behind the voice.
After some cryptic comments,
Aelita announces they'll continue tomorrow.
At that moment Flynn disconnects the game
and Burton tells her the company loves her
and even offers more money.
Flynn agrees to come back tomorrow
but when she stands up, she feels a bit dizzy.
Afterward Flynn goes to a bar to buy her mom's medicine from dealers.
The guys say she doesn't have enough for even one pill
and imply she should offer naughty services,
only to be interrupted by Connor,
a disabled man who attaches his monowheel to a small vehicle.
Connor threatens the dealers until
they agree to sell Flynn the medicine,
then he and Flynn leave while the guys go back into the bar.
Their boss Korbel scolds them for being afraid
of a disabled man and smashes a guy's head on
the table as punishment.
Sometime later, Flynn connects to the game again. The Avatar wakes up
in a surgery room, unable to move.
Aelita tells her that Flynn can't leave the sim without her
permission before the surgeons begin removing
the Avatar's eyeball to replace it with Mariel's.
Flynn can feel the pain but Aelita guides
her through it until she falls asleep.
Later the Avatar wakes up in a car with Aelita and they go to a fancy
A fancy building where they use Mario's eye to open the door.
They get in an elevator that takes them through
a bunch of curious floors, including one with a
whale. Eventually they reach a chamber
with an inverted pyramid hanging from the ceiling.
Aelita makes Flynn put her own eye on the pyramid
and when the avatar jerks back in pain,
Aelita forces her to keep the head there
so the laser can finish its job.
Suddenly Daniel shows up and Aelita tells Flynn to stop him
because he's there to kill them.
However Daniel immediately overpowers Flynn
and ties her up before using a gun that shoots sonic
punches to knock down Aelita.
While Daniel starts hurting Aelita to make her give up information,
Flynn manages to get a hand out,
only to discover the skin has peeled off and there's a robot
Daniel lets go of Aelita to shoot again
and Flynn sends the avatar to fight him,
giving Aelita time to run away.
Putting his attention on her allows Daniel to shoot the
avatar in the head and Flynn wakes up in the real world,
saying she never wants to play
again as she throws up.
Out of town, a policeman notices two suspicious cars and follows them,
but they suddenly disappear. When the cop comes out to investigate,
a man pulls a gun on him and tells him
to stand in the middle of the road.
Then an invisible car knocks the cop down.
It turns both cars have advanced cloaking.
The next day at work, Flynn gets a call from Wilf,
who tries to warn her about some impending
danger and advises her to play again, but Flynn just hangs up.
In the evening, Flynn is closing
the shop when the lights flicker
and Wilf's voice is heard through all the machines around her.
He claims her life is in danger
and there is a bounty of $9 million on her head, but he can't
help her unless she signs in.
Terrified, Flynn runs to find Burton, who is hanging out with his
friends. When they check the area with their drone,
they see a group of armed people coming towards
Flynn rushes to hide her blind mother Ella
in the basement while Burton's friends hack
into the assassin's drone to make it look like
the boys are still sitting around the fire.
Then Burton and his friends link their body implants
to their drone, gaining the ability
to see its visual feed. After grabbing their guns,
the group sneaks into the woods and begins taking
the men down one by one pretty easily, thanks to their hack.
The enemy tries to shoot back,
but they can't do anything against the guy's implants
that allow them to find them in the dark.
Meanwhile in the house, the power goes out and a man comes after Flynn,
who activates the Roomba to distract the guy and hit him from behind.
The man immediately turns
around and tries to shoot her, but he's killed first by Burton,
who shoots through the window.
Thinking it's over, the group checks the drone camera
and discovers the enemy has hacked them
back so they could secretly bring over a backup team.
Another gunfight ensues and Burton's group
is starting to run low on ammo,
but at that moment Connor arrives and helps them out. Once every
enemy is dead, the group agrees that Flynn must use
the headset again to gather information. She
logs in and wakes up in a body that looks exactly like her.
Then Wolf approaches her and explains
this isn't a game, the headset sends her mind
to a robot called Peripheral in the year 2099.
When she leaves the building,
she's shocked to see giant statues decorating London but
almost no people around.
Wilf also shows her a newspaper with Ella's obituary,
four weeks from that day in Flynn's
timeline.
The deal Wolf offers is simple, if Flynn helps him find Aelita,
then he'll pay for the medicine
to save her mother. After Wolf disconnects her,
Flynn appears in the present feeling dizzy again
but she still rushes into town to pick up
the medicine where Wolf left it. Then she gives Ella
the medicine while Burton's friends bury all the bodies.
Next she logs in again and wakes up in a
house in Notting Hill, where Wolf introduces
her to his boss Lev and his technicians.
Flynn learns that whenever they come in contact with the past,
the past branches off to create
a parallel timeline known as a stub
and the contact becomes the point of separation.
Aelita was providing them with a connection to the stub,
which they'll lose if they don't
find her soon. Flynn is upset to hear
the medicine only has a 57% rate of success,
so she announces that she'll only help them find
Aelita after they help her family for real.
Meanwhile Officer Tommy stops by the road
when he sees a cup of coffee floating in mid-air.
He pokes around and eventually realizes there's
a car with some sort of cloaking device.
After lots of touching he makes the car visible
and finds a bullet, which he bags up and takes
to Burton because Tommy knows about his expertise.
Burton identifies the type of bullet but claims to
know nothing. Moments later Flynn comes back
and tells Burton that the people from the future are
going to send them $250,000 by making
their cousin Leon win the lottery. Afterward Flynn
tries to search the internet for references to Milledro's Kolduran
or Wilf but comes up empty.
While doing so, her hand gets stuck on the computer mouse
and she's unable to move it,
So she has to use her other hand to pry it off.
Later in the middle of the night,
Flynn wakes up when she hears a strange noise.
She goes downstairs and discovers it's Ella,
who announces her eyesight is coming back.
Meanwhile Korbel is using a VR set to hire virtual women,
only to suddenly be interrupted
by Daniel, who offers him 10 million dollars
to get rid of Flynn and Burton.
Korbel thinks it's a joke and leaves the game.
Later while Korbel is with a real woman,
he gets a message saying that he has received
two and a half million dollars in his bank account.
Now knowing the offer was real, he agrees to kill Flynn and her family.
The next day, Flynn goes to work and finds Burton
and his friends printing more weapons.
It turns out Burton has used the lottery money to buy the shop.
Afterward Flynn logs in to visit the future.
She tells Lev's group everything that happened
with Aelita, and they explain that Mariel
was an assistant security manager at the RI.
They also tell her that Korbel has been hired to harm them,
so Flynn asks to be sent back to the present
to warn her brother. In the meantime Wolf
parks outside his childhood home
and remembers the day he and Aelita were adopted.
When he finally goes inside, he hears Aelita singing,
but it's only a robot with her face
and voice. Then he meets his mother,
who tells him she last saw Aelita a month ago in St. James.
Aelita had said that she was staying where Snow last fell in London.
In the present, Burton meets Korbel
and reveals he knows about his mission.
He offers Korbel two choices,
one of which is $200,000 every week to leave them alone,
When Korbel asks about the other,
Burton explains he and his friends are former
marines who are all connected
as one big organism thanks to their military implants.
If Korbel tries anything, he'll learn how deadly they can be.
Korbel isn't scared because he's killed many criminals
in the past just to control his town,
so Burton points at the glass in Korbel's hand
and a bullet immediately shatters it.
Finally taking it seriously,
Korbel shakes hands with Burton to accept the money deal,
unaware that Tommy is watching nearby.
Later Flynn logs in again and appears in a car with Wilf.
They drive around Buckingham Palace,
trying to retrace Flynn's steps from that night.
They decide to walk around and Wilf links them up
so they have access to each other's
sensory experience, which can be controlled by moving their fingers.
Now Flynn can see and hear everything Wilf can, including his hangover.
Soon a police robot begins following Flynn
and Wolf realizes that her robotic body isn't properly
registered. Wolf tells the cop that Flynn's robot
is being used by a woman from Canada who is
desperate to see her long-distance lover,
then he kisses Flynn to prove the story. The cop believes
it but makes Flynn log out.
Meanwhile Daniel's boss and head of the R.I. Charisse invites
company's researcher Grace to her garden, where she keeps tons of bees.
While they share some tea,
Charisse asks about Aelita,
and Grace admits she told her about the stub research department.
Then Charisse reveals there was a chemical
in the tea that makes her sweat mimic a pheromone
released by hornets and opens the door
so the bees can attack Grace as punishment.
The next time Flynn logs in,
Wolf tells her about the clue he's obtained.
Flynn thinks Snow could be a person,
and Wolf realizes it was one of Aelita's heroes.
They visit the place where the celebrity died
and Flynn opens the wall like Aelita taught her,
allowing them to find Aelita's apartment.
The place is a complete mess, meaning someone got there before them.
Then Flynn notices a broken clock
that looks exactly like the one in her house,
so she moves the hands to make the times match.
A secret door opens and they find the surgery
room where Flynn had her eye replaced.
There are two broken-down robots plus a white model
of her own house and its surrounding area,
including figurines of her brother and friends.
After taking a sample from the robots,
Wolf finds Aelita's implant in a box, which she got removed
so she couldn't be traced. When they're about to leave,
the main door suddenly blasts open.
Soon Daniel and a robot attack them,
and Daniel's sonic gun seems to affect Flynn's
real body too.
Wolf uses a fallen scalpel to attack the robot
and knock it down, which distracts Daniel
and allows Flynn to disarm him.
Unaware that Charisse is seeing everything through
the robot's eyes, Flynn begins shooting
Daniel to make him talk and he explains Charisse
is after her because she took something.
Before he can say anything more, Charisse makes the robot kill Daniel.
In return Flynn destroys the robot with the gun.
Then a flashback reveals that in 2075,
London is absolutely destroyed and Wilf and Aelita are kids
living on the streets. One day they see a van distributing food,
so Wilf goes to investigate
while ignoring Aelita's warnings.
When he comes closer, the van starts looking blurry, so he
throws a stone and discovers the whole thing
is just a visual projection. Suddenly two people in
yellow suits and masks chase after Wolf and Aelita,
quickly capturing them both. Back in 2099,
Wilf takes the samples and the implant to Lev,
who points out that Aelita won't survive long without it
Flynn returns to her time and notices blood in her eye.
Suddenly her right hand spasms again and
when she looks back up, the blood is gone.
Later Flynn and Burton argue over how they're handling
the situation and as Flynn gets more agitated,
a bruise grows over her left eye and she suddenly
falls into a seizure. Burton takes her to see a doctor,
who says Flynn had a tonic-clonic seizure
but there don't seem to be any after-effects.
She still wants to run some more scans and advises
Flynn to stay away from the headset.
When they return home, Burton tells his friends he wants
He wants to log in and put those people back
in line to ensure they don't hurt Flynn.
Connor seems interested in the idea
of being able to control a body. In the future,
Cherise has her people make a robot in the image of Daniel
so he can share information about Wilf
and Lev. Moments later Cherise shows up at Lev's house
and accuses him of stealing something.
When Lev plays ignorant, Charisse talks about
the structure of their world and its three major
forces, the kleptoligarchy that Lev belongs to,
the Met Police, and the Research Institute.
Charisse reminds Lev that each group shouldn't overstep
its bounds and points out the last guy
that tried met a traffic fate.
She threatens Lev with the same fate and after she leaves,
Lev notices his teacup is gone.
At that moment Connor logs into the Flynn robot and tries to
run away by jumping through a window,
but a technician immediately cancels the connection.
Meanwhile Flynn is watching childhood home movies on a normal headset
when Wilf appears to tell her what Connor did.
Then Flynn reveals she looked into Lev and found the name
in her timeline connected to a mafia-related man whose entire family
was brutally killed, but Wilf says there is no connection.
Afterward Wilf tells Lev what Flynn found out about his family.
Lev isn't surprised and explains that he hired Aelita
because he wanted a stub of his own
so it could be used for many goals like testing new medicine.
Lev reveals that he was troubled by the idea
of other versions of himself so he had his
family killed in the other stubs.
Back to Flynn, her hand continues to spasm
but decides to log in again anyway.
She tries to go exploring, and when the technicians try
to disconnect her, Burton's friends hack
into the headset to stop them.
Flynn wants bodies for Burton and Connor too
and demands to know why there are such fewer people
in the future. After both teams cause Flynn to connect
and disconnect a few times, Flynn manages
to stay in the future and convince the technicians to cooperate.
Moments later, Flynn meets Wilf at
a graveyard, where she sees mysterious
objects floating over some of the graves.
Wilf explains the objects show the different phases
of something called the jackpot,
which was a funny name given to the apocalypse.
The first one opens up to show a complete
electrical blackout in 2039 that started in the USA
and soon spread worldwide.
The second object shows a pandemic called
the blood plague, and the third shows a total
environmental catastrophe
in which 7 billion people died over four decades. The fourth one is
called the end and it shows a domestic terror attack
in which a nuclear missile silo was blown up
The visual illusion of the explosion is too much
for Flynn to handle and she asks it to stop,
so she sent back to the present.
A flashback then shows how Aelita convinces Grace to
share her research by appealing to their former relationship.
Grace takes Aelita to the room with the pyramid,
calling it the God Font.
Here they have access to stubs used
for their research in various fields.
One of their studies belongs to the behavioral
mod department, in which they set up a shell
company in the stub that made a deal with the military,
giving them implants for their soldiers.
Those implants were then tweaked to affect
the brain's compassion center, for example
they cause soldiers to shoot random wounded animals
by making them see as the enemy.
Only one soldier tries to help an injured dog
and gets blown up in the process.
Alita is disgusted by human experimentation without consent,
but Grace doesn't seem to mind.
On their way out, they're seen by Mario.
In the present, former assassin Robert is trying to live
a normal life under a new identity until he receives
a package with a phone and a sonic gun
inside. He tests the gun and is shocked by its power.
At that moment he gets a call from the
from the Daniel robot, who offers $10 million to kill Flynn's family.
Robert tries to decline, but Daniel forces him to accept
when he threatens his daughter.
Later a bowling alley, Robert goes to see an old friend,
accusing him of revealing his
identity to Daniel.
The guy explains he was threatened until he gave up
the information, but a furious Robert
still shoots him and all his sons to death.
Then Robert gets in his car and Daniel sends him
the information to find Flynn.
Suddenly a surviving son comes out and opens fire on Daniel,
who immediately rushes out
of the car to hide under it.
He shoots the guy a couple of times with the sonic gun
and then runs him over with his car.
In the morning, Flynn gets more tests done
and the doctor tells her some bacteria is affecting
the part of her brain related to seeing.
Then she uses a spinal tap to take some fluid from
Flynn's body to study it further.
Meanwhile Robert stops his car by the road and pretends
it isn't working as he waits for Flynn to leave the clinic.
However Flynn's friend Billy finds
him first and insists on helping even
when Robert says no. At that moment Burton and
Flynn pass by in their car and stop when they see Billy,
offering their help as well.
Robert grabs the sonic gun and Flynn recognizes it,
so she makes Burton duck right before they
get shot. Then Robert tries to shoot Flynn,
so Burton speeds up to escape and ends up crashing
nearby. As Robert comes closer with open fire,
Burton comes out and shoots back while Flynn
makes the car go back to get Robert out of the way.
Robert is soon ready to shoot again, however
Billy has her own weapon and brings him down first,
overpowering him but not killing him
because he's wearing a bulletproof vest.
Minutes later Tommy arrives and arrests Robert.
He also asks Flynn about the sonic gun,
but she pretends to know nothing.
On the way to the police station,
Robert tells Tommy about the deal he was offered
and explains that those who hired him will want to cut loose ends,
so he offers the money to Tommy to let him escape.
Before Tommy can respond,
an invisible force hits the car, making it roll over.
Another car becomes visible nearby and the driver drags Robert away.
By the time Tommy comes out, the mystery person is gone.
Later Flynn logs in and goes to see Charisse at the RI.
Flynn asks why Charisse is after her and
Charisse says she stole something,
but Flynn swears she doesn't have anything. When Flynn
threatens to kill her, Charisse reveals she's
also using a robot body and attacks first.
A fight ensues and both robots show remarkable strength,
but Flynn still manages to overpower
Charisse and break her neck before leaving.
Another flashback shows Burton and his team in the Texas
Outback in 2028. While on duty,
they discover a dog stuck in a wired fence howling for help.
They discuss whether or not to help it,
and Burton reminds the others of the intel about
the enemy using injured animals.
The team isn't convinced and Connor runs out to help the dog
anyway. As he cuts the wires,
he sees that the dog is armed with a bomb, which blows up and
takes most of his limbs. At that moment Connor wakes up
in the present, screaming at the memory
haunting his dreams. Meanwhile Tommy tries
to keep investigating the accident but finds the digital
files blocked. Then the sheriff tells him to take paid leave
and get some rest. After the sheriff
Tommy sees in a bathroom stall a pair of shoes
that look like the ones he saw at the
site of the accident.
This makes him realize the sheriff is dirty
and getting Tommy out of the way on purpose.
In the future, Wilf and Flynn are on a busy street
and Flynn wonders why the people seem
to stay away from them.
So Wilf explains it's just a visual illusion created
by the RI to make the city look less
bleak.
Flynn moves her fingers the way Wilf shows
her and all the people disappear, so she tries
it on the landscape next.
Tons of buildings disappear and the remaining ones look destroyed.
Afterward Wilf and Flynn go to meet
the fabricators behind Aelita's robots,
whose location Wilf discovered thanks
to the samples he took the other day.
They enter a butcher shop and say the code word,
but the butchers refuse to offer their real
services. Then Flynn makes up a story about how she bet
her body's maker that she could
find a better fabricator,
causing the butcher to rise to the challenge. He inspects Flynn's
robot and says he can do it,
offering her retractable titanium nails. Flynn then asks
about replacing a robot eye with a human eye,
which causes the butchers to attack.
For an advanced body like Flynn's it's no trouble
to fight them at the same time and with just a few
movements, she knocks them both down.
One of the butchers still tries to attack again,
but Flynn overpowers her again
and the other butcher tells her to surrender.
Next Wolf shows them a picture of Aelita and asks about her,
so the guy says she had been working with a group
of revolutionaries called the Neoprims.
Wilf is shocked that his sister could hide that from him.
In the meantime, Lev's technicians build robots
for Connor and Burton to come to the
future too.
In the present, Korbel and his wife are setting up dinner
while an unconscious Robert sits
across the table.
When he wakes up, he discovers he has a metal collar around his neck.
He immediately tries to attack Korbel,
but the wife uses a remote to give him an electric
shock through the collar.
Later that night, Leon learns that Connor has
been suffering from nightmares and offers
to share his pain.
Using the implants, they connect to each other
and Leon sees Connor's memories of how he lost
his limbs. The experience leaves him shaking
on the floor from the pain but at least now
Connor is peacefully asleep.
In the future, the technicians realize that Flynn's doctor
is researching the bacteria she found in her body.
At that moment they get a visit from
Inspector Ainsley, who is investigating Daniel's death.
Lev can't call his solicitors because the
phones are down so they're forced to invite her in.
Ainsley explains she can just arrest Will
for his presence at Daniel's murder site and
execute him in the next seven minutes,
but instead they can just answer her questions.
Back to the present, the sheriff shows
Korbel the video from Tommy's car.
Meanwhile in Korbel's house,
Robert steals a heavy paperweight while the wife is looking away.
Then he pretends to be interested in Korbel's fish tank
and comes closer to smash it with
the paperweight, causing water to flood the room
and make the wife fall to the floor.
Furious, she uses the remote to electrocute him.
But he grabs her leg and the water conducts
the electricity to make them both pass out
at the same time.
A few seconds later, Robert's eyes open.
Sometime later, Connor and the siblings get
a message from the future asking them to log
in.
When they wake up, they find Ainsley waiting for them.
Lev has told her about the connection to the past
so she wants to take them to the station
for some tests.
Eventually they make it to a Met Police
Training Facility called The Zoo.
With a flick of Ainsley's hand,
the debris in front of them turns into a tall building and
Ainsley sends Burton and Connor inside
so they can test their new bodies. Ainsley's assistant
Beatrice explains the rules,
they must advance from floor to floor while getting rid of all
obstacles until they reach the roof where
a surprise awaits. The lights go out and six
robot guards appear around them.
The guys work together like the old times and quickly bring
They quickly bring the guards down while Beatrice analyzes their data.
Once they're done, she announces each
floor will have more and more enemies.
However the guys keep advancing through
the floors with no problems, beating up any enemy
that gets in their way.
When they make it to the roof, Beatrice informs them
the three of them must fight until there's
only one left standing.
Burton and Connor immediately attack
but not even their teamwork is enough to defeat Beatrice,
who only needs a few moves to force them to disconnect.
Outside, Ainsley tells Flynn she's investigated
her family in this timeline and shares the
result.
The local version of Connor didn't lose his limbs,
and none of the team members had the
implants, so Burton didn't survive the war.
All this means that the R.I. opened the stub
at least a decade before what they'd been
assuming.
The jackpot seems accelerated in Flynn's timeline
and Ainsley suspects the R.I.
When their conversation is over, Ainsley disconnects Flynn.
In the present, Tommy returns to the station
and asks to see the evidence he brought from
the accident, but the only thing on the list is his wrecked car.
Suspicious, Tommy tracks down his car in a junkyard
and finds all the other evidence inside,
like the sonic gun. When he presses the button,
he accidentally shoots the windows off.
At that moment he gets a call from the sheriff telling him
to go to Korbel's place. When Tommy
arrives, he follows bloody footprints to find the wife's body
and the sheriff talking to Korbel.
The sheriff knows Robert did this,
but he wants Tommy to arrest Burton and his team as the
culprits. Tommy refuses, so the sheriff tells him
to wake up to the reality of the corruption in the
force and to do as he says, otherwise he'll get fired or even arrested.
Tommy returns to his car
and while thinking over what to do,
he remembers the guns and takes them back to the house.
The sheriff tries to make him see reason
but Tommy shoots him a bunch of times to kill him,
then he hits Korbel, with the sonic gun
to throw him out the window. Meanwhile Ella is
suddenly blind again and asks for help,
so Burton's friend Reese takes her to the clinic.
Nearby, Robert watches them and starts following them.
Later at the clinic, the doctor checks on Ella
while Rhys waits at the reception.
Robert comes in with a bleeding arm and when Rhys tries to help him,
Robert stabs him a few times.
Rhys starts defending himself and a fight ensues,
but no matter how many times Robert stabs, Rhys keeps going.
Eventually Robert manages to keep him in a hold
and choke him until Reese dies.
When the doctor and Ella come to check on the noise,
Robert threatens them with a gun
to keep them as hostages.
Then he takes Reese's phone and unlocks it
with his dead face to send a message.
When Connor and the siblings return to the present,
they get a message from Reese's phone
saying he's at the clinic with Ella.
Burton, Flynn, and Leon immediately get in the car
and on the way to the clinic,
they start getting suspicious of the messages
because they use words Reese wouldn't use.
Leon tries to connect with Reese through their implants,
but he can't find Reese's vitals so
they guess a killer is there.
Once they're close enough to the clinic, Leon connects to Reese's
body and makes it twitch.
When Robert stands up to shoot Reese again, the team sees him move with
thermal binoculars and Burton immediately shoots him down.
Then they rush inside to save the women
and Burton shoots Robert again just in case.
In the future, Lev's technicians discuss how to access the bacteria
and Flynn's brain to steal it.
When Lev comes by, they use an encrypted language
to keep discussing a possible plan,
but Lev knows that language
and threatens to kill them if they don't share what they know.
They explain that Aelita planned to download
the stolen RI files into Burton's implants to
hide them in the past so they'd be untraceable.
But since Flynn posed as him, the headset
Headset transformed the data into bacteria
that began to colonize her brain.
The technicians plan to give the data to the neoprims
so they can burn this world down and
build a new one, but Lev cuts the guy's cheek
and orders them not to betray him again if they don't
want deadly consequences.
The next time Flynn, Burton, and Connor log in, Ainsley offers them
a deal, she can give them resources to prevent
the jackpot in their timeline, and in return they must
work for her. Flynn says she also wants a cure for her mother,
but Ainsley informs her that nothing
can be for Ella anymore and she'll die in 23 days.
Upset, the siblings immediately disconnect and
and comfort each other.
In the meantime Charisse meets with one of the technicians,
who tells her that the RI's data is
in Flynn's head and wants Charisse to stop Lev from getting it.
Charisse says she'll accelerate
the jackpot in Flynn's timeline to get rid of her and her family.
Later Flynn logs in to meet
with Wilf, who wants to tell her something
but worries Ainsley may be spying on them.
They link up their minds and as they say each
other's names they realize they love each other.
Then they decide to visit the place where Wolfe used
to hide with Aelita when they were kids,
unaware that the technicians are spying on them.
When they make it to the spot, they make
the extra people disappear and find a younger
Aelita robot waiting for them.
She tells Flynn to go away because her robot can be used by others,
and once Flynn disconnects, the technicians lose contact.
Then the real Aelita shows up
to explain to Wilf that the immunity implant
every citizen has in their heads is used to
suppress memories. When Aelita removed hers, she remembered everything.
While younger Aelita digs out a skull from the ground,
adult Aelita says that the oligarchy
killed 5 million people in under a fortnight
because of the fear of spreading contagion,
including Wilf's and Aelita's families.
At that moment a bunch of people show up and Aelita
reveals she's been gathering survivors to form the Neoprims,
now all they need is the data in
Flynn's head. In the present,
Tommy tells Flynn about a warning from Homeland Security about an
attack on a nearby missile silo.
Recognizing the beginning of the jackpot, Flynn logs in
in and meets with a technician, forcing her to confess everything.
Determined to stop the plan,
Flynn asks Connor to log in too so he can help her open a new
stub and cause a reboot, meaning Flynn
is planning to self-delete so the enemy won't
have a reason to accelerate the jackpot.
Afterward Flynn meets Ainsley,
who can't open a new stub but tells her how to do it at one
of the R.I.'s ancillary sites.
When Flynn gets there, a guard immediately tries to stop her,
but Flynn quickly overpowers
him and uses his eye to open the door.
Inside the building she finds a pocket watch and when she grabs it,
Charisse gets a notification,
so she opens the wall to release more guards.
Flynn quickly fights them all and defeats them
in just a few minutes with the help of the room's
furniture. Then she puts the watch on a special panel
and activates the stub portal. After telling
Charisse she'll never find her, Flynn crushes the watch.
Soon Flynn wakes up in the present
and goes for a walk to the creek.
Connor is hiding in the bushes with a sniper rifle,
and after Flynn counts back from ten,
a gunshot echoes through the air. Seconds later Flynn
wakes up in her robot in the future
and Ainsley asks if they should get to work.
