The Circle (2017) Edit

A Cop saw you go through the fence,

A couple pills, I'm good. So you? First week.

A friendship.

A fund should be established for his family.

A hundred percent participation is the ideal.

A lot of you guys have been asking me about this sculpture,

A proven menace to our global community.

A relative, a lost love.

About this young man Mercer.

Access to all possible human experience is a basic human right.

Activists no longer have to hold up a camera.

After my last job where I just tried to, like,

Ah, well, I've got to be quick. I'm in Germany.

Ah. A ha. Actually, a few minutes ago, but you have fun, okay?

All of it stored, analyzed, available to the Circle in any way.

All of it, if you can.

All right, are you ready to do this on your own?

All right, heliport, gym, daycare,

All right, let's go.

All right, Mae, we have all seen

All right, that's our scene.

All right.

All right. You okay?

All those tech guys secretly wish they knew how to use a hand saw,

All will be public, knowable, never erased.

ALL: Sharing is caring!

ALL: Yeah!

Almost useless, right?

Already, 22 nations have agreed in principle

An automatic path to voter registration.

And a billion global participants worldwide

And a crucial member of the community.

And about the Circle.

And actually, I was pretty busy this morning

And actually, we've done just that.

And after a while, it was just weird to ask.

And all that data is stored in the Cloud and in your tablet,

And even their super secret scrambled code accounts,

And everyone who watched your adventure online.

And for their restriction on Internet freedoms.

And here is how many Americans are registered in the Circle.

And I could call up my buddies who were already out

And I couldn't lift him up, but thank God Mercer came by.

And I don't know if this is any consolation,

And I don't think you've imported your old profile.

And I have to pull another all nighter.

And I sent the password to your phone.

And I think... I have an idea.

And I wasn't wearing a life jacket.

And I'm a shit friend. I should've said something sooner.

And if we do it right, we will set an example for everyone.

And is taking some pretty dramatic steps to address the problem.

And isn't that the whole point? Having everything in one place?

And it changes everything.

And it felt like...

And it gets routed over to one of you.

And it seems we're on our way

And it will happen.

And much of his experiences of the world come through the experience of others.

And now it's over.

And now that I know your secret, do you feel better or worse?

And of course, we would not suggest putting something unsafe on the road.

And show the site with our new Circle video delivery.

And that is how it should have been,

And that's part of what I'm here to talk about.

And that's where the rest of it will be.

And the kid can be tracked down within 90 seconds.

And the problems we can avoid when we have all that data.

And then came...

And then there's a campaign to shut me down.

And then we got a call from someone watching the seals.

And then... there's all the new work on Completion.

And there are many others out there that are just like Gunner.

And these experiences were facilitated by generous humans

And they just want to tell everyone about it all the time. It's, you know...

And they seem satisfied.

And they'll understand, really. It's okay. It's okay. It's okay.

And they're virtually invisible.

And they've agreed to push for legislation that would make your Circle account

And this is my favorite part, every e mail,

And this is where I still work at the Circle. (CHUCKLES)

And this will be the next one.

And usually, we feature one of our engineers or our visionaries

And we already have 83 percent of voting age Americans

And we have to pee indoors, not on the street. (CHUCKLES)

And we're always trying to improve his opportunities,

And we're back to a perfect score, yeah.

And we're putting it to the test in front of the entire Circle audience,

And we're up to...

And we're worried you don't realize what you've gotten yourself into.

And went on holiday to Spain.

And what happens when you're alone and unobserved?

And what you've done for my family.

And what, 80 percent of us did that online last year.

And when everyone is united, everyone is known, heard, accountable,

And when we do,

And you get to see how you did right here. That is the rating. Uh, you know what?

And you were brave and excited.

And your light was still on.

And, um, it definitely won't happen again. (LAUGHS)

Annie Allerton! (PANTS)

Annie, that's the worst picture of me ever.

ANNIE: Excuse me. I'm terribly sorry.

ANNIE: Of course.

ANNIE: Remember, it's just customer experience.

ANNIE: Yeah, but I don't get a ton of alone time with him.

ANNIE: You can do it, Mae. Own it!

Annie!

Annie!

Annie!

Annie?

Annie.

ANNOUNCER: (OVER RADIO) The California Department of Motor Vehicles

Any word on the insurance?

Anyway, all right, this is Dream Friday,

Anywhere you want, and of course, it's all collated with the rest of the Circle.

Are doing with their time on our dime.

Are we alone?

Are we?

Are you satisfied with your performance?

Are you serious? Whoa.

Are you, like, killing deer, making chandeliers?

Are...

Aren't you all?

As integral to your participation here. This is how your coworkers,

As one of our new guppies in customer experience, to join me today.

As you know, I have a son, Gunner,

As you know, you'll be doing straight up customer maintenance

At the Circle?

Attractions like Mae Holland.

Be careful.

Because even amid her grieving,

Because even though I have you guys looking over my shoulder...

Because here's Rodeo Beach, Montera,

Because I didn't think anyone was watching.

Because I wanted to see you in person. I wanted to look you in the eyes.

Because that definitely shouldn't have happened (CHUCKLES)

Before True You, it was like you needed a different vehicle

Before you swiped that kayak, but... (CHUCKLES)

Believe me, you're doing fine. You're good, all right?

Better.

Biometrics, iris scanning, facial recognition.

Boom. Sometimes you just encounter someone who isn't really sensitive to the metrics.

Both for their persecution of the artist

Boy from the neighborhood?

Briskly.

But actually just one of these?

But at our next Dream Friday...

But I assume Bailey told you about that.

But I can't help wondering why it wasn't 100. Let's look.

But I do spend a lot of time here.

But I... I can fix it.

But it has to touch the skin to work.

But it's good to know you're worried about me.

But now a real company.

But there are all kinds of things that are mandatory

But there's no record of any of it.

But they, too, stopped answering their phones.

But today unfortunately, it's just me and for that,

But unlike Fiona, he's not a criminal.

But we don't require them to vote?

But we will.

But what about the people who aren't part of the Circle,

But what if we never lost touch with each other?

But you did risk your own life.

But you're such an enigma.

But you've had a blip or two when it comes to meshing with the community,

But, um, we should make a plan. I'll send you a text.

But, you know, there were thousands of people here

By 99 percent.

By the FBI is just a coincidence?

By then, you'll be hired if you kill the interview.

Bye, honey.

Bye.

Bye.

Can find Fiona Highbridge in under 20 minutes?

Can someone please get me audio on the camera?

Can we turn the speaker up?

Can you believe that? Yes!

Can you get in touch with HR,

Can you... talk about what you did the rest of the weekend?

Come on out here. Gosh, Mae.

Come on, honey.

Come on, let's be the only ones who know how to dance!

Come on. No. I'm not going to cry anymore.

Come on. They'd love you.

Come out in the garden with me today, okay?

Come to think of it,

Communication certainly isn't extracurricular, right?

Congratulations, nice to have you.

Content people, news, arts, film, engineers,

Cool. Where do you work now?

Could you tell us all what you said?

DAD: Oh, enough of all that.

Dad? Don't worry.

Dad.

Dan said this would be a good moment to set up all your socials.

Deals with regulatory issues in other countries.

Death threats, Mae.

Did he tell me his name? I forgot it.

Did I tell you guys I'm not a morning person?

Did I tell you I'm up to an 87 so far? They say that's pretty good for a guppy.

Did you reach out to any Circlers during this crisis?

Do you all think 14 million Brits

Do you feel ready?

Do you need some time away here, too? I've got an extra bed if you want it.

Do you see any cameras here?

Do you think Senator Williamson being investigated

Do you think?

Do you wanna see something?

Does this really seem okay to you?

Don't worry.

Don't you have to go and chop some wood or something?

Eamon will catch up. Or maybe he won't.

EAMON: So here's how many people voted in the last national election.

EAMON: So, Mae, how do you feel?

EAMON: That's right.

EAMON: This is a special Dream Friday.

EAMON: We were worried when we didn't hear from you for so long.

EAMON: Well, hi, Mae, how are you?

Early Paul, late John.

Either way, it's time for a change.

Even the ones on the other side of campus, know who you are.

Ever owned a Velcro wallet?

Every human on Earth.

Every message, every plan including...

Every step, every breath, all of it stored.

Everyone in the world in seconds on any subject.

Everyone's data in the Circle is being studied, monetized.

Facial recognition, saved and searchable, all to serve you better.

FIONA: No.

First, I want to thank everyone here and around the world

For citizens of this country.

For less than a pair of jeans.

For the accumulation of wealth and control?

For the first time in human history.

For the smaller advertisers.

For the support you've given me since we lost Mercer.

Fort Point.

From now on, every message, meeting, phone call,

From now on...

From Tom and Eamon's accounts, and their private accounts...

Get set...

Go back where?

Go on.

Go on.

Go, Mae, now.

Go!

Good morning, everyone.

Good night, everyone.

Good, but it's not all about work, okay?

Good.

Good. Better.

Great.

Hadn't done that in years.

Has proposed regulation that self driving cars

Have a drink, have a good time, and stay excited.

Have they spoken to you about it?

Have you sought out a group?

He can't go kayaking.

He can't run.

He can't walk.

He feels in some way that he's sailed in the America's Cup too.

He feels like he's climbed Mount Kenya.

He is confined to a wheelchair.

He's good, people.

He's okay. He... he fell yesterday.

He's someone we should have been able to help.

He's stronger than I thought.

Hello again.

Hello, democracy. Open and accountable!

Hello, I'm Eamon Bailey.

Hello?

Hello.

Here and globally.

Here at the Circle with no formal obligation,

Here you go.

Here. This is it. (CHUCKLES)

Here's how it used to look.

Here's how many were eligible to vote.

Hey, how's it going?

Hey, where are you guys?

Hey. Good timing. (CHUCKLES)

His business is doing well.

Holy shit, Annie, I love you.

Holy shit. I'm in a cave with Ty Lafitte.

Honey, just, just...

Honey.

How are you doing?

How are you really, Annie?

How are you? (CHUCKLES)

How are your parents?

How is it daytime where you are?

How it could've been, but we didn't have the technology.

How many people really get to know the President?

How you did, and they send that immediately back,

How's Dad?

How's the dorm? Do you have to clean your own room?

I always thought you two would make a good...

I am social enough. I mean, isn't... this socializing?

I am?

I assume you've heard about that Senator that's trying to, like, break you guys up

I borrowed a kayak without the owner's knowledge,

I can't be a part of this world that you're creating.

I can't believe I was so stupid.

I can't believe you've been here this long without being on the main social feed.

I can't do this.

I can't help it if you're not... social.

I can't. You know.

I committed a crime.

I did what you asked. You won't believe the shit I found.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

I didn't wanna be watched every second.

I didn't want to lose you, too.

I don't have it completely figured out yet...

I don't know if you're aware of this,

I don't know what you're planning, but if you turn that camera back on,

I don't think I ever wanna work anywhere else.

I don't want to have to search for friends, family, my loved ones.

I finally get to use my art history degree.

I got to go put out a fire.

I gotta go, Mom. I love you.

I guess it'll just take some time.

I had a conversation with a young Circler the other day

I have a dozen helpers all over the world right now carrying these cameras.

I have friends all over the world.

I have to go back.

I haven't heard from them, actually. (SNIFFS)

I hope your folks weren't too worried.

I invite them to set an example for the Circle and the world...

I just wanted to move through this world like a normal person.

I just... (STUTTERS) I'm worried about you.

I kayak.

I keep having this feeling that...

I knew I could trust you when I met you. I don't know, I just thought to myself,

I know that Tom, he agrees, too.

I know, it's perfect.

I lie.

I like those words, "one step further." It's how the company was built.

I love following strangers down dark corridors.

I love to surf and in the past,

I love you guys. I'll see you later.

I mean, come on, you have to admit, like,

I mean, how can we require anyone to use our services?

I mean, I...

I mean, that's True You.

I mean, we have thousands of laws.

I mean, you know, a lot of people work in the White House.

I mean, you know, he drifted away.

I never killed any deer. I don't kill deer.

I never met him, but they should build a monument to Mercer.

I oversee the team, and Jared oversees the unit.

I realized how much I missed her.

I said that secrets are lies.

I set up that camera this morning.

I should have been there.

I should, um, get going, actually, for dinner.

I should've, and I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have questioned him about that whole Senator Williamson thing.

I stuck it to a tree near the dunes with no permit, nothing,

I think all of these have gotta be first editions?

I think all of these have gotta be first editions?

I think Grandma's falling asleep.

I think it's a great idea.

I think it's the intake manifold.

I think it's time we reunited Mae and Mercer, don't you?

I think we should leave.

I think we're entitled to that kind of access. Don't you?

I thought I'd change it up a bit today and not have a speech but an interview.

I thought it was a bit much.

I thought you worked at the water company.

I thought...

I told, um, Carolina's mom.

I understand you haven't done your medical intake yet.

I understand your father's condition has improved.

I want to say how much I value my position here...

I want to thank you already for this.

I was my worst self

I wasn't even online. I was working.

I will.

I wish you would've known there was a camera there

I... I barely slept.

I... When someone dies in a plane crash,

I'd love to see him again.

I'll be starting immediately.

I'll be there at the Concept Kingdom meeting tomorrow.

I'll be wearing a modified "SeeChange" camera at all times.

I'll give that idea a smile.

I'll leave you to it.

I'm excited.

I'm fried.

I'm glad you called.

I'm going fully transparent.

I'm good.

I'm just grateful to be here.

I'm no psychologist, but this behavior sometimes stems from low self worth.

I'm not sure I'm ready for that. But...

I'm okay.

I'm pretty sure he doesn't wanna be found. (CHUCKLES)

I'm proud of you.

I'm really so far behind on everything, I could just die.

I'm so glad those cameras were there.

I'm so lucky that you guys were around here.

I'm so sorry about last week. I've been up my own ass.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Is that related to his MS?

I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry, I, um...

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. (LAUGHS)

I'm sure the Circle will be glad to cooperate.

I'm talking about the ones like I'm wearing.

I'm the only one who can do this.

I'm tired of hiding, these passwords and secret knocks,

I'm tired of standing here in the dark.

I'm Ty.

I'm Ty.

I've asked Mae Holland, who some of you might know

I've got some new snapdragons that need to be planted.

I've seen your cameras aren't working. I can send Tech out...

If it happens, we'll know.

If you're enjoying this, I'm worried about you.

Ignore him.

Imagine having the full will of the people.

Imagine the human rights implications.

In fact, no one even knows it's there.

In fact, Ty Lafitte has helped us make every document

In his own country.

In seconds, the computer will select, at random, a fugitive from justice,

In the company's history public.

In the interest of sharing everything she can with the world,

In the lobby?

In which every disturbed young man could be kept safe.

Instantly.

Insuring my parents?

Introspection or communication?

Is it stored somewhere? In the Cloud?

Is so excited to be here,

Is that a good principle?

Is that one of his?

Is that the...?

Is there anything you want to tell us?

It can be anyone.

It combined everything that was separate and sloppy into one account.

It doesn't.

It feels very wrong.

It felt like I was paddling through liquid silver.

It happens.

It helped.

It is voluntary.

It was a bad tool, a bad system.

It was a cute phase.

It was a phase.

It was almost worse than calling the surf shop.

It was selfish.

It will all be on my True You page. That's right. Thank you, thank you.

It would cost too much. They don't have the expertise.

It... It can be fixed.

It'll collect data on your heart rate, blood pressure, cholesterol,

It's all connected.

It's been fun to casually insert it into conversation.

It's been years since someone so shrouded in mystery started here.

It's easier. I don't have to deal with Stenton and Bailey.

It's exciting. It's a...

It's just an algorithm generated number

It's just everyone that works at the Circle

It's just so horrible.

It's like, "Here, try this Kool Aid!"

It's okay. Where are we going?

It's only our lies that get us in trouble, the things we hide.

It's probably not as interesting as whatever's on your phone, though.

It's that I don't want to be disconnected.

It's the chaos of the Web made elegant and simple.

It's the whole point of Soul Search, Mae.

It's very serious. I mean, this is high nerd, right?

It's worse than I could've imagined. And, and look, Mae, I'm so sorry.

It's... crazy.

It's... Well, it's more than we ever...

Jared will be doing your training.

JESSICA: Wouldn't be the first time, and I'd really like to get

Jesus Christ, look at these people!

Jesus. She's a natural.

Just tell everybody that Dad's not feeling well,

Just where the heck I've been.

Keep drivers safe, and optimize Circle services across all platforms.

Kennel, nightclub, salon, maker space,

Know the Circle inside out. I'm back next week.

Knowledge is a basic human right.

Let me take you for dinner.

Let's activate it, shall we?

Let's bring her out. Mae Holland!

Let's bring them back together again, okay?

Let's bring up the clock.

Let's go upstairs.

Let's just do a live one.

Let's see if we can break our previous record.

Let's select that fugitive.

Let's try for a regular civilian.

Let's try Mom and Dad.

Like Fiona, though, he is someone who is trying not to be found,

Like what? Connecting the world?

Like your absence at several weekend or evening events.

Like, "Hey, you know, do you like stickers and unicorns?"

Listen, I've been looking into your parents' situation,

Listen, Mae, I'm really, really sorry about Mercer.

Listen, Mae, we would like to offer you a new role

Listen, when I first started, it took me a few weeks

Listen, you can't tell anyone that you were here.

Live above it.

Look, proud? Proud of what?

Look. We match.

Looks like you have a lot of catching up to do here. A feast!

Luck? Hell.

Mae has, uh... Mae has some news.

Mae will be the first Circler to share every single second

Mae, hon, why don't you get your daddy another beer?

Mae, there are four groups here for staffers dealing with MS,

Mae, Tom and I want to talk you about an idea, but before we do,

Mae, you are a very brave woman to do this.

Mae, you're a valued part of the Circle, and you're family.

MAE: Annie.

MAE: Are you leaving?

MAE: Ashamed.

MAE: Better, actually. I'm coming in to see them today.

MAE: Good thing you guys like to keep things modest.

MAE: I know, I know. Thank you.

MAE: Never a boring day here.

MAE: So Bailey, what's he actually like?

MAE: Your legs are so long.

Mae! Mae! Mae! Mae!

Mae.

Mae.

Mae.

Mae. How are you holding up?

Mae's only been with us for a few months but she has made quite an impression.

MAN: All right. Watch it.

MAN: Bravo.

MAN: Do you think he's in here?

MAN: How would you describe what the Circle is to say,

MAN: If we don't give customers a human and humane experience,

MAN: Nice of Mercer.

MAN: Um, I think it's for Tuesday next week?

MAN: What are you doing? Tell your own stories, sheep.

MAN: Whoa!

MAN: Yeah, I mean, I think obviously,

MAN: Yeah!

Management and me, advertising and you.

MATT: Great.

Mercer would still be here if we hadn't lost touch.

Mercer, are you in there?

Mercer, it's me.

Mercer, look, let's not do this here.

Mercer, stop driving. It's just me.

Mercer, stop the truck.

Mercer, stop.

Mercer, we know you're in there.

MERCER: Leave me alone! Jesus Christ!

Mercer? The antler chandeliers?

Mm hm.

Mm.

Mm.

MOM: Honey, this is gonna save our lives.

MOM: How you doing, sweetie?

MOM: It's okay.

MOM: Well, that's great, Mae.

MOM: You know we love you, and we don't wanna...

Mr. Bailey...

My dad had an... an episode, and I was home helping out with that.

My every phone call and e mail will be accessible

My friends, we are looking at retailing these in just a few months

Needs of the society or needs of the individual?

No contact for four days. Your camera was off.

No more forgetting your password, multiple identities, identity theft.

No more rigged elections.

No, come on, what were you supposed to do?

No, I...

No, I...

No, no, no, go on, go on, go on. You started really well there.

No, thank you.

No, welcome to real time analytic processing.

No.

Nobody. Just on my own.

Not mutually exclusive.

Not that I'm privy to their conversations in their little sanctum.

Not to the Circle.

Not yet.

Nothing, really. I just... I kayaked.

Now "guppies" is just an affectionate term for you baby fishies.

Now a bunch of you are new to the company since I last spoke,

Now does it feel right to have deprived them

Now it's as easy as gluing a camera to a wall,

Now you might not have seen me around campus

Now, Circlers... do you like to share?

Now, it's not just that you get a smile or a frown, though that is part of it.

Now, Mae is a brave person

Now... now the best part.

Obviously, I never meant for this to happen.

Ocean Beach,

Of course I know you've been in here before.

Of course.

Of course. You get to keep it.

Of seeing what you saw, Mae?

Of the waves at Stinson Beach.

Oh, actually, do you wanna see something?

Oh, but, um, you have to give me a verbal nondisclosure agreement, okay?

Oh, but, um, you have to give me a verbal nondisclosure agreement, okay?

Oh, come on, false modesty won't work here.

Oh, come on, no, don't. Don't make me cry.

Oh, did you think this was just a camera?

Oh, forgot one more thing.

Oh, honey.

Oh, my God. You need to see this. Follow me.

Oh, no, you probably shouldn't play with...

Oh, so sweet.

Oh, they won't cover the cost of IGIV. It's $40,000.

Oh, this is too sad. You take care of my little girl.

Oh, we'll know the good things, too.

Oh, you're transparent again. Look at that.

Oh. Come on, we'll go in the house, come on.

Okay, among all of those viewers...

Okay, everyone.

Okay, great.

Okay, he's the martyr who will wake everyone up, right?

Okay, I know the initial reaction will be resistance.

Okay, probably not.

Okay, time to get serious.

Okay?

Okay? That I brought you here.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. I gotta go. Big event here on campus.

Okay. Working backwards from your goal...

Olivia Santos, Congresswoman for District 14.

On your mark...

Ooh, biting commentary.

OPERATOR: Hello.

Or we could do that now since we're both here.

Or worse, want to tear out that fabric?

Other suggestions?

Our assertion is that whoever he or she is,

Our government, not so much.

Paddled out to the middle of the bay,

Participating in a hundred different activities.

People are coming to me trying to get to you. (CHUCKLES)

Please don't. I just got lucky.

Please, Mae.

Privacy was a temporary thing.

Random at first, but once you start working with a customer,

Real time data from your dad.

Really? No.

Registered to the Circle.

Relieved, actually.

Remember to be nice, okay?

Remember when he fixed the roof?

Right now, I'm working on Child Track.

Right? (CHUCKLES)

Right. Of course.

Rock climbing, trampoline, clinic, volleyball.

Santos is just the start.

SANTOS: That's right, Tom.

SANTOS: That's right. That's a fact!

Say hello to everyone.

Secrets are what make crimes possible.

See ya.

See, these are all of last week's messages.

Sharing is caring. I thought you might say that.

She knows that she has a responsibility to her followers,

She locked her three children in the closet

She was convicted of triple murder in 2004.

She's good.

She's in on all the big decisions,

She's in the gang of 40.

Shopping. Lodging.

Should be required to have a licensed driver inside.

Sign her up.

Simple enough in theory. So far so good?

Sleep duration, sleep quality, digestive efficiency, on and on.

Smiles and frowns used to be for middle school.

So answer phones, help people, what you're already doing

So can the guppies all stand up?

So I could log on and get some very crude images

So I heard there's a party around here.

So I intend to show exactly how democracy can and should be.

So I want to invite Eamon and Tom

So I'm just going to have to take... this. And this.

So it looks like I've got 20 minutes here.

So it's been great?

So let's give her an even bigger hand!

So let's say you've answered a client's question,

So many.

So now here we get into something personal.

So now we get down to the meat of today's session,
