![]() Suddenly, all of her memories come flooding back. ![]() They then take Alice away and give her shock therapy, once again making her complicit per Alt-Life standards, until she finds a motel key while doing laundry. Unfortunately, Bunny quickly rats her out to the men of Alt-Life. Horrified by all the information she's learned - but aware that Jack will soon be alerted to her absence - Alice hooks herself back up to the neurolink unit and returns "home." She then confides in Bunny (Betsy in the script) about what she's seen and her plan to escape. She also discovers divorce papers and a video describing Alt-Life as a haven made for men who are "tired of living in a world controlled by women." All they have to do is fake their wife's death (using the instructions provided), swap out the woman's memories for new ones, and plug them into the "neurolink unit," which is the machine Alice keeps waking up in. Here, she finds that she is actually in the year 2050, and Jack has faked her death via a car accident. Alice is once again transported to the MRI machine, but this time, she finds the energy to stand and explore her surroundings. She follows Jack and finds the new portal he's created, this time made to look like a house with an "alt-life reality" sign staked in the yard. When Alice wakes up, she's back in the simulation, only this time in the hospital, and the doctors explain that she's suffered a psychotic break, sending her home with pills. ![]() He tells Alice that she's found his "exit portal" but says he will simply program a new one, stabbing her with a syringe and assuring her that this is all just a dream. Confused and weak, she screams for help, and Jack rushes in, half-naked. The screen cuts to black, and we hear her gasp for air, indicating that she does make it back to the real world and leaving the rest up to the viewer's imagination.Īfter Alice first breaks through the simulation via the portal disguised as a motel, she finds herself in a machine resembling the ones used for modern MRIs. In a narrow race, Alice manages to reach a portal leading out of the simulation just in time. ![]() Her friend Bunny (Wilde) then conveniently visits and finally admits to the simulation, telling Alice to get in the car and escape before the men of Victory get to her. Alice confronts Jack, killing him in the middle of an argument. ![]() A familiar song later triggers a memory of her real life, in which she is a successful doctor and Jack is her unemployed boyfriend. Upon suspecting something is amiss, Alice tries to convince Jack to leave Victory before she is whisked away and issued shock therapy to help her to forget her skepticism. The fake world is referred to as "Victory," created by a man named Frank ( Chris Pine) in order to help modern men live the antiquated lives they truly "deserve," with no regard for the consent of their partners. In the real world, Alice and Jack are just two bodies lying next to one another, hooked up to machines that allow them to participate in the simulated reality. In Wilde's version of "Don't Worry Darling" (featuring the edited screenplay), Florence Pugh's character, Alice, eventually discovers that her cookie-cutter existence is actually just a simulation, and she is being trapped in this false reality by her partner, Jack, played by Harry Styles. ![]()
