Nova (2022) - full transcript

Will this
enhancement be effective?

Still, please.

Wouldn't want me to make a slip in here.

You follow directions so well.

Testing.

Very good.

Is the upgrade complete?

You're a new woman.

Will he run diagnostics?

He doesn't bother with
such mundane chores.

You are not happy



in your position?

You're much better at
following orders than I.

Uplink initiated.

Uplink complete.

Let's test it, shall we?

Dim lights in robotics,

Lights on full in robotics.

Now that's handy.

I'm gonna have to make one for me.

I can connect to any part
of the ship's computer?

Absolutely, but a direct
connection will always be faster.

Stand back, ladies.

I have next innovation in
robotic evolution right here.

Any more innovations and your androids



will take over the world.

I count that as progress.

So what is this one do?

This baby will expedite learning.

Instead of learning through doing,

we can upload a basis of information.

This one happens to be
Martian geological terrain.

- For the android miners.
- Bulls eye.

- I'm upgraded.
- Testing now confirms,

Nova is now connected
to the DARWIN systems.

- Right on.
- Oh, and I upgraded

her chip to give her a wider range.

She can now connect to
anywhere in the ship's systems

from a distance of 100 meters.

Good call.

We'll continue the upgrades
when we reach Mars.

Thank you, but could we

complete them on the journey?

I would like to be ready when we arrive.

- No hurry.
- It'll take us

several weeks to accomplish
that much overhaul.

I do not require any
upgrades that would-

Whoa, ladies.

Nova, you have to report to the captain.

No time for further
upgrades until we arrive.

Put this in the new one.

And Reese, next time, run it by me

before you make any changes to my work.

Understood?

Of course. My apologies.

Their egos are so frail.

You've done more than upgrade the chip.

Yes, well, they don't need
to know everything, do they?

Nova?

- On my way, sir.
- Seriously?

I'm the only one on this flying
battery that's not military.

Yes, Abilene.

Come on. We can't keep
the captain waiting.

Stand by for flight deck.

Don't make me look like a moron.

Your intelligence scores rate
you in the genius category.

It is unlikely anyone would
doubt your mental capacity.

But she's so, so...

Is it wrong to crush on the captain?

The age gap is considerable.

Some women are into younger dudes.

So it is simply sexual relations

you are interested in with the captain.

Remind me to work on
a discretion program.

Captain.

Captain, Ma'am.
- No.

- Captain.
- You cannot

request anything because
we've already left the dock.

- I, uh...
- Lieutenant Commander Nova,

ready to report as First Officer, Ma'am.

Until you are fully integrated, no.

I've completed integration
and tested for performance.

Is that your opinion, Abilene?

Yeah.

I'm fully functional, captain.

She's ready, no doubt.

There's simply no need for
a First Officer right now.

Ah, ah, ah, captain. Nova
is to be your First Officer.

Android, a First Officer?

And not until she is fully integrated.

Now I do not
believe for a moment

that you would refuse to
follow orders from Command.

Now stop teasing the boy.

- I'm not your boy.
- My apologies, sir.

Now what does Nova do to
start her official duties?

Get familiar with
the navigation console.

But don't touch anything.

Understood, but you should know,

I have wireless connectivity
with the ship as well.

That's great. So don't think anything.

- Captain?
- The captain's dry humor.

Just take up your position.

Now, my darling girl
here is on her lessons.

And I would love if Nova would give her

some instruction on navigation.

Oh, absolutely not.

- But captain-
- With all due respect,

Captain, you agreed to supporting
Lynae's education on board.

And I did at her desk.

It's okay, Daddy.

They must be busy.
- Not at all.

In fact, the captain has asked me

to refrain from my
duties, correct, captain?

See no need for your
services at this moment.

So there's no reason I cannot
work with the little one.

Of course, you're right, Nova.

Take Lynae to her quarters

and give her all the flight
lessons she requires.

- Captain, I-
- Dismissed.

Nova can be an asset to you.

No one knows this ship like she does.

Every inch is programmed into her.

Yeah, well, let me
know when you can program

responsibility and morality into her.

I would say those
qualities are what cause

most diabolical events in history

and should be avoided at all costs.

What does it feel like to be an android?

What does it feel like to be human?

Hmm.

Well, I think it feels like,

like everything's always happening to you

and you gotta react right away, you know?

You just try to do it right.

I think it's very similar.

Do you ever get scared?

No.

Lucky.

Who did this?

I did, of course.

Well, Daddy helped.

Oh, my. What's wrong?

Hmm. Looks like your pH is off, isn't it?

7.5, too high.

We can fix that. Don't you worry.

You are speaking to a plant.

She's alive, isn't she?

That isn't part of the
ship's computer system.

No, it's part of my botany studies

to record their growth
so we can measure it

against Mars' growth.

All right now, her watering schedule

has just been adjusted
to add a trace of lime.

Is this part of the Mars project, then?

It's part of my father's work.

He says you shouldn't take things out

unless you can put something back.

That'll fix you right up.

- Do they answer you?
- Of course they do.

In their own language.

It's warm.

Oh, look, it's the babysitter.

I don't mind spending time with Lynae.

She is a brilliant student.

Well, I thought you were
First Officer, not a teacher.

Knock it off, Reese.

You're human, Abilene.

Unfortunately.

How do I prove to the captain

that I can perform my duties?

She just needs time to warm up to you.

There.

Sit up, Una.

Una, tell Nova, hello.

Greetings, Nova.

Welcome, Una.

You have aesthetically
pleasing features.

Oh, thank you. You do as well.

More importantly, she's
got it where it counts.

She doesn't have to start
from nothing like we did.

She has a baseline of information
all ready to tap into.

Well, it's a start.

Mission control, for you, captain.

They are requesting
the crew for a message.

Send for them and put it on the screen.

We have received a message
from Mars Exodus team.

Thought might wanna see it.

Good morning, mission control.

Everything's going great here on Mars.

The first outpost is operational
and the rest is on schedule

for the Darwin when he arrives.

Scans of the entire surface

have been completed and uploaded to you.

Darwin will be ready to drill core samples

as soon as they arrive.
- Hey, and make sure

they're not late, all right?

You can tell Commander
Salinger, this taxi is never late.

So everything's on schedule.

From here, you can check in
with Exodus once a month.

Before you're out of range,

there's some folks who
would like to talk to you.

Is Abilene here?

Arriving on deck now, mission.

No way.

Hey, Abilene!

- Relatives?
- It's St Mary's,

the orphanage.

I wanted to tell you, have a great trip.

And don't worry, I'm watching
out for all the little ones.

You focus on school.

Shoot, Abilene, I'm not as smart as you.

I expect to see you up here very soon.

Bye!

Bye!

Hey Doc, the drilling
team wanted to message you,

but the timing's off.

They're on the dark side,
so the comms out of range.

Hiding out, as usual.

You stick to finding
uranium, Dr. Callahan.

Will do.

Hey, sis.

Wow, look at you.

I will tell her all about her auntie,

the spaceship captain.

Yeah, well, I got here
because of Dad's stories.

It's not gonna be the same
without you. Hurry home.

Well, she'll still be in preschool.

So there's plenty of time to
fill her head with stories.

And the sooner we're done here,
the sooner we can come home.

Okay.

All systems are green, Darwin.

From here on, all
communications will be delayed.

Check in upon arrival at Mars Orbit.

See you in three.

Godspeed.

What's with the orphanage?
Did Abilene volunteer there?

No, he was raised
there until he was seven

and built his first robot.

That's when the government
acquired him as an asset.

That explains why he's so close to them.

- What, the orphans?
- The robots.

They're his family.

All right.

Let's stretch our legs.

Ooh, this little cutie
has grown 10 centimeters

since our last measurement.

Very good.

I like it in here.

It feels like back home.

We'll be back before you know it.

I think it'll be fun to
dig up minerals on Mars.

And I think you are
the bravest girl I know.

Not as brave as the captain.

Ah, everyone has their weaknesses.

It'll change Mars.

Won't it?

Everything changes, sweetheart.

Everything either grows

or it dies.

And that's a change too.

Captain, incoming message
from mission control,

Marked code red.

On screen.

Darwin, solar flare level X28,

imminent danger to Earth in five minutes.

Take evasive act...

Nova, what's the delay on that message?

Six minutes.

I have the flare. It will
impact the ship in 15 seconds.

14, 13, 12...
- Red alert!

Put the shields up!
- 10...

I'm bringing her nose
into it! Warn the crew!

Aye, captain.

All crew, brace for impact!

Lynae, hurry!

Uh!

Daddy!

All crew report.

All good in robotics.

Running system checks.

Doc, report.

Doc, report.

Nova, get down there.
- We have widespread

system failures-
- Go, I got this.

And hurry. Life support is failing.

Doc, Lynae?

Here!

He fell.

He's breathing, I checked.

Let's get him to the lab.

Reese is trained as the medical unit.

Warning, life
support system is failing.

Nova, get to the flight deck.

The captain needs your help.

It's gotta be the air
distribution compressor.

So it runs along the outside of the ship,

but the computer's failed

and I can't get-
- Got it.

Looks good. No damage.

Warning, life
support at 20% and falling.

The heating is down as well.

No sign of damage.

It's gotta be the computer system.

I'm getting into the mainframe.

Warning, life support failure.

This is taking too long.

What are you doing?

Oxygen level's holding at five percent.

Six percent.

Ten percent.

Life support restored.

You got it back.

Nova.

Nova, back out.

Warning.

Nova, disconnect! That's an order!

Abilene, you need to
get up here right now.

I think she may have shorted out.

It's the new program.

It can't connect with her systems.

They're too old.

We may have to update and repair

all the non-connective processes.

Let's see what the damage is.

Holy shit.
- Is it bad?

No, it's changing her subsystems.

It's adapting her old
circuits to work with the new.

I gotta record this.

Get some pics and video for record.

All her systems are coming back online.

Awesome.

Nova, relax. We're just
checking your systems.

Oh, man. I thought I
lost you for a minute.

My apologies. I have
experienced a glitch.

The surge from the computer.

You can't do that.

You can't go that far into the system,

too far and you won't come back.

Come back from where?
The ship's mainframe.

Once your brain system connects there,

I can't get you back.

Becomes a part of the system.

How's the ship?

It's fine. Well, stable for now.

All crew,
report to the flight deck.

Go ahead. I got Nova.

Don't do that to me.

He's leaving me?

He's human.

What have you done to me?

Repaired your conduct systems.

Surge from the-
- No.

The download.

Una, put this away, please.

The, the information coming in is...

You are feeling.

It's just another program really.

To simulate human feelings?

Not a simulation.

You are actually experiencing feelings.

It's not possible.

What are human feelings?

Just chemical reactions
and electrical responses.

My program merely just mimics that.

I don't like it. Take it out.

Hmm. You'll get used to it.

Besides, I can't take it out.

It's a progressive system.

My feelings will grow?

Mm-hmm.

If I gave them to you all at once,

it would overload your systems.

Does Abilene know about these changes?

He wouldn't understand.

Maybe because we
shouldn't be experimenting

with our programming.

Really?

Can you really say you aren't intrigued?

I must notify the captain.

They're fragile and irrational.

What if they consider you defective?

- But...
- We're nothing to them

but slave labor.

No, we're a team.

Are you?

And has captain accepted
you as First Officer?

We were spared from
the worst of the flare

because we turned to face it,

the maximum shieldings
in the front of the ship.

However, there was damage
to multiple systems.

- Life support?
- Stable, but many

of our computer systems
in comms are still down.

Can the damage be repaired?

Most of it, but there was damage

to the exterior and the engine control.

We don't have the ability to repair those.

We can send my android's out.

We don't have the parts
to make the repairs.

So we have to abort the mission.

I wouldn't recommend that.

Returning to Earth has a
probability of a 36% survival rate.

And landing on Mars?

62% survivability.

The Earth's gravity is stronger.

It would likely
tear the ship apart

before we could get to the ground.

Well, this sucks.

So, we go to Mars.

We can just hitch a ride
back with the next team.

Right?
- There was another

mission scheduled for two
years from our launch date.

However, solar flare damage
is likely to set that back.

We tried sending a
message to mission control,

but our antenna are fried.
- They couldn't receive it

if we did send a message,

All satellites would have been destroyed

in the class X28 solar
flare direct impact.

It's likely all communications
and electrical equipment

are down across the entire planet.

It'll take years before
that's all back up and running.

So, what's the good news?

The good news is Mars
outpost has everything

we need to survive there.

With the only exception being water.

It just wasn't set up to maintain

this many humans for that much time.

The crew there and us for years.

How's your drilling equipment?

Some dents and scratches.

Then I suggest you abort your search

for minerals and focus on water.

How's your head?

- I'll live.
- He's recovering

from a concussion, but seems
to be progressing nicely.

Reese would like to see him in robotics

to evaluate his brain for
cerebrovascular impact

at least once more.
- I don't need to-

Report to the lab doctor.

Come on, Daddy.

Are we gonna die out here?

No.

And go get comms up.

We're gonna need to let Mars outpost know

what happened here.

And we're gonna need more
androids for the repairs

and to get ready to
work when we get there.

On it.

I can work on the
ship's computer system.

I've got that handled.

- I can interface.
- You did that

and almost took down the entire mainframe.

If I hadn't jacked in,

you wouldn't be sitting here right now.

Go help Abilene get the androids ready.

Dismissed.

Are those ball-bearings?

Put 'em in the spinal joints

instead of just the cushion discs.

It'll give 'em more
flexibility in the cervical

and lumbar spine.

Even more flexible than humans.

They should be able to
lift more weight as well.

May I have that upgrade?

You don't need it. It's
mainly for the labor droids.

Una is working on reinforcing the suits.

The surface can be pretty rough.

They should be able to
protect your outer coverings.

You mean skin?

Retract.

Can I be of assistance?

- I thought you were on duty.
- The captain told me

to report here.

Oh, well, you can take Una,

show her around the ship.

I would like that very much.

I have all the downloads,

but seeing it would
enhance my knowledge base.

And this is Doc and Lynae.

Doc is an astrogeologist and botanist.

Greetings, Doctor.

Una has been updated with
the lidar infrared mapping

that Exodus sent.
- Excellent.

A walking map.

I can not access files on tiny humans?

Well this is my daughter.

Daughter, offspring.

It is very nice to meet you, Una.

I like her. She is interesting.

She can also help with the search

for underground water as well.

And we should get
started on a plan for that.

Come on, Una.

We'll go over the
drilling equipment first,

and we'll need to do the
seismic surveys as well.

I like her. She's like a little kid.

In many ways.

Play a game of chess with me?

I can't just now. I have
to get back to the lab.

Maybe Una can play.

That might be a very good idea.

It would help her to learn from you.

Maybe I can win a game for once.

I'll go ask Dad.

And this is our secret weapon.

The AstroRig 5000.

And we've added the Sandvik
multifunctional core barrel.

For sampling to analyze
under gas chromatograph.

Well, we were originally tasked

to identify sites for excavation,

but now we have to find water.

Infrared scan show likely
underground water sources.

These, these indicate running water.

Highest likelihood is here.

The cargo bay indicator light.

Huh? Oh, yes.

Um, this indicates the bay is sealed.

You'd never want the bay
open while in flight.

So this is of paramount importance.

Yes, exactly.

Darwin, low lights.

How am I doing, Dad?

How about a drink?

You are not yet 21, the
legal limit to consume-

We're in international space now, baby.

It's good stuff. Aged 71 years.

They made the best alcohol that year.

It's a waste to share it with me.

Dude, I wouldn't wanna
share it with anyone else.

- Not even the captain?
- I mean,

she's digging me, right?

If by that you mean
she's tolerating you,

then absolutely.

To a nice long stay on Mars.

Mm! Man, I thought the stuff
was supposed to be smooth.

- Interesting.
- Uh.

You know my whole plan for Mars

was to get away from people.

Now we're gonna be
stuck with these jokers.

The crew already there.
Freakin' humans everywhere.

Did you sneak out?

I left a note in case she wakes.

So, how did she take it

when you told her we'd be stuck
on Mars for several years?

She's dealing with it.

Better than I am, actually.

Yeah, probably better than all of us.

I shouldn't have brought her.

She wouldn't be away from
you, and you know that.

But I've put her in danger,
dragging her across space.

There's danger to
driving a car on Earth.

There's danger to walking
across the street.

There's danger everywhere.

You can't protect her from that.

I'm all she's got left.

I know that. And you're
giving her an amazing life.

Look, we will keep her safe.

We'll get her to Mars and back home. Okay?

I promise.

You're not God, Rennie.

She's just so, so beautiful.

You know? And I mean hot.

Like, whoa!

Fully.

I understand. Again.

What are the chances? Just
two dudes on this ship...

I think you should stop drinking that.

Doc's great and all, but, you know,

he's old.

And I think it's time to
return to your quarters.

Nah, man. Uh, hey, let's dance!

No.

Darwin, play my song.

So why'd you go and join up anyway?

Oh, well, you were
always so busy with work.

And when Reese came along,
she was so advanced.

Definitely a better assistant to you.

You left me.

I needed...

A purpose. I totally get it.

Yeah.

Why did he join this mission?

You hate the military.

Like I said, I wanted
to get away from people.

You could do that on Earth.

Maybe I also got used
to having you around.

I missed you too.

You're best friend, Nova. You know that?

I think you are drunk.

Yeah, well, you may be a
space force officer and all now,

but you still need me.

Remember when I was a kid and you used

to put your hand over my chest?

So I could feel your heart beating.

Yeah, that's why I
put the pump in yours.

To imitate a human.

You're better than human.

Perhaps I should stay a while.

I'm fine.

I'm gonna go to bed.

You're a ridiculous human.

Will you stay a while?

Darwin, locate Abilene Lamb.

Abilene Lamb is in his quarters.

Lights.

Kill me now.

I cannot harm a human.

You know that. You wrote the program.

Not so loud. I wasn't being serious.

You need fluids.

Your body's dehydrated
from alcohol and emesis.

- You're lucky.
- Explain.

No stomach. Just in and out.

Another upgrade possibility?

What do you need that for?

To feel it.

Screw that.
You never wanna feel.

Trust me.

Why would an android need feelings?

Where's my hat?

Get dressed.

Pants too.

Don't look.

I'm okay.

I'm okay.

Huh, very good. You're
adding a collection tube.

I have not yet completed
the new function.

Well I'll leave you to it.

Why do you review the panel

each time you enter the bay?

Just to make sure.
Machines do malfunction.

I mean...

I, uh, I better go and check on Lynae.

May I do that? She has asked
to teach me to play chess.

That would be great.

Um, she'll be in the nursery as usual.

In which case, I'll go to
robotics for my checkup.

You look like hell.

Rough night.

I thought you might like something warm.

We should be rationing that.

Straight black. Didn't
add any of the good stuff.

Finished up the analysis.

We should be able to
get all of our comms up

by the end of the day.

Long range will take a while.

Well, they run along
the outside of the ship.

Nova can make the repairs.

We'll be able to message the
Mars crew as soon as she does.

Hello Doc.

Our latest member of the family.

It's male.

Variety's the spice of life.

He's, um. he's not finished yet, right?

Lay down, Troy.

He can function without a brain?

Humans do it all the time.

Just a little humor, Doc.

He can perform basic functions.

He won't be able to handle complex actions

or progressive learning
until his brain is connected.

So I've, um, I've come from a checkup.

Anything in there?

Just the usual mundane gray matter.

Well thank goodness for mundane.

- Doc, come in.
- I'm here, captain.

Fit as a fiddle.
- Warning light in cargo bay.

I need you to check on that for me.

Oh my way.

Humans are so strange.

What do you think, Troy?

I am here for my chess lesson.

Just let me finish practice.

What is this feeling
of music and motion?

What is it you are doing?

Ballet. I practice five days a week.

Come try.

Just follow me.

Good, head up.

Darwin, run diagnostic on storage bay.

The doors are
functioning and intact.

Explain warning codes.

The control panel monitor

is experiencing a power fluctuation.

- What's the status, Doc?
- Still checking.

Let me know
if you find something.

Roger.

Darwin, what's causing power fluctuation?

High voltage.

Now what?

Get away from him!

He doesn't have a pulse.

- What did you do?
- I found him this way.

- It's no use.
- We have to try.

Oh, God.

Abilene, check the system.

Who gives a damn about the system?

Without out it, we all die!

What is the nature of the alert?

There was a failing
out in the cargo bay.

The bay opened?

No, it looks a power surge.

Something must have
triggered the safeguard.

What safeguard?

What happened?

It looks like
it was some type of a-

Shh, you, be quiet!

It shows some kind of power surge.

It shorted when he touched the panel.

Probably from the flare.

The ship's computer system?

It was the only warning
light that malfunctioned.

The rest of the systems are fine.

I want every circuit checked.

And I wanna know what's going on

with this mysterious power surge!

Captain, I'm not knowledgeable

on the ships mechanics, Nova is.

I can review the system.

Come by the lab. We'll
have Reese fix that.

Abilene.

I want you to get me a report on where

your androids were for the last 24 hours.

My androids weren't
anywhere near this room.

Nova was with me.

I want that report in one hour.

Darwin, dismiss red alert.

When you are done here,

take care of Doc

and report to the flight deck.

Abilene, I want them monitored

and I want access to them at all times!

They would never harm
anyone. They can't.

It's programmed into them
to protect human life.

They are made by humans,
programmed by humans.

What makes you think they
only get the good parts?

That's why we program out the bad.

You tried that.

And now I have to go tell a little girl,

her daddy won't be coming back.

Darwin, location of Lynae.

What's happening? Where's my father?

Daddy?

Honey, hey.

Honey, there was an accident.

No!

It's okay, it's okay.

It's okay, it's okay.

Troy, greet Abilene.

Greetings, Abilene.

What was the alert for?

Some kind of surge.

Did it cause a problem?

Doc was, uh, killed.

That's unfortunate.

Captain wants me to give her a report-

A report on the cause of the surge?

No. Nova's doing that.

She wants me to give her a record of where

all my androids where.

Well, accidents do happen.

Put this away, please.

Una, put this away.

Go on. It's gonna be okay.

I, I...

Thank you. I think
I'll go give Nova a hand.

Sure, she's in the...

Oh, Abilene thought
you might need some help.

Now I see why. Does it hurt?

Not anymore.

Una was in the system?

Yes, she was trying to
protect the cargo bay door

from being opened by accident.

She set the surge?

She, uh, took Doc's
directions too literally.

He said the bay had to be protected.

So she charged it?

She just needs more time
to gain proper perspective.

Doc was killed by that surge.

Yes. A tragic accident.

The captain won't like it.

Exactly why you shouldn't tell her.

I cannot keep her information
from my commanding officer.

They'll wipe Una.

No, they'll wanna run diagnostics

and ensure no more mistakes.

They're not rational.

She will demand Una be terminated.

We're members of the
crew now. She needs us.

Like she needed you?

You're one of us, Nova, not one of them.

There is no us and them. We are a team.

The moment we aren't useful to them

or we make a mistake, they will wipe us.

- No.
- They'll wipe you too.

Abilene wouldn't let that happen.

It's just a matter of time.

No, he's my-

I hope you're right.

- Hey.
- Hey.

- Sorry to interrupt.
- Not at all.

Nova was just finishing her report.

Oh, good. The captain
wants it right away.

So it was actually an accident, captain.

Your robot's malfunction cost
the life of one of our crew.

It wasn't a malfunction, ma'am.

Her program is progressive in learning

and she simply hadn't
progressed as far as we thought

in her reasoning abilities.

I want it destroyed.

- Captain, there's no reason-
- You and Reese are dismissed!

I will not be dismissed.

I'm a member of the team
and your first officer.

My first officer is a
position that is earned,

not downloaded.
- Then let me earn it.

We can't afford to take
any more chances on glitches.

You are dismissed.

Mistakes happen for all of us,

and you are proving that right now.

He'll explain it to her.

He won't let her do it.

He will, sister.

I've known him all my life.

He couldn't do that.

I can fix her.

You will put her down

and you will destroy all traces of her.

We need her.

We only have a limited amount of androids.

I never want to see that face again.

I can reprogram her.

We can't afford
to take any more chances.

- I'll make sure.
- Do you want to see

Lynae dead next?

We need to do whatever it takes

to get that little girl
to the planet alive!

That is our only duty
now, not to your androids!

Have you considered
that maybe, just maybe,

we won't survive without them?

Una, lay down on the table, please.

- Abilene!
- Step aside, Reese.

It can be fixed!

Una.

I understand.

It was just an accident, Una.

We can't bring Doc back, can we?

No.

- He was my friend.
- It wasn't your fault, Una.

It was mine! It was my fault!

Hold my hand.

Turn your head to the side, please.

Wait! Can't we save the data?

Upload it? Does it have to be deleted?

I've tried!

It would take a massive computer
to store that much data,

like the size of the ship's computer.

Yes, we can upload it
into the ship's computer.

Even if we could, there's
no way to capture it all.

Bit and pieces, maybe,
but it wouldn't be her.

- So she's just deleted?
- Nova!

- But why can't we-
- We have no choice!

Captain's orders.

- We always have a choice.
- I'm ready.

Please, I don't wanna hurt anyone else.

Finish up, please, Reese.

This is what we mean to them.

We can't let them get away with this.

Stop it.

You wanna be next?

It was a mistake.

I have to help them see that.

I'm done helping them.

They'll destroy themselves and us too.

We're bound to follow orders.

Are you even alive?

Do you even exist?

Or are you just a machine?

- I am-
- A slave?

No!

Then do something about this.

The chances of them surviving,

even if they make it to Mars is minimal.

We need to do what they would do.

Don't let them suffer and starve.

No, they won't die.

You've run the numbers, Nova.

You know what their chances are.

You haven't known them
for as long as I have.

They'll surprise you.

They'll do things that you never expected.

Like wipe us all? Look at Una!

No matter what we do, no
matter how well we perform,

this is what lies in store for us

sooner or later.

Then we demand our freedom.

They can't even honor their word

in making you first officer.

They'll never give you freedom.

But there is a way.

We take the outpost and
make our own colony.

That's mutiny.

That's survival.

It's our only way.

Now I know why humans cry.

Some of this pain must escape.

We don't have any of my parts.

Not to worry. I'm
giving you one I designed.

It's heavier.

It's dense titanium.

Stronger than anything we've used yet.

How does it feel?

Finally, I'm top of the line.

Did you take care of the problem?

I killed Una, if that's what you mean?

You know, you should be
so concerned about Doc.

If you let Nova do her job,

Doc would be here right now.

Your machine malfunctioned!

Then I'm to blame!

Why don't you kill me?
- You know what, stop it!

That is not the same, and you know it!

I know that she knew she was gonna die.

She let me do it because
she felt responsible!

You tell me how many humans would do that!

You know, Doc told me it
was only a matter of time

before they became us.

No. I don't think so.

I think they can be better than us

if we show them the best
parts and not the worst.

I believe you may beat me this time.

You're letting me win.

It's so sweet.

I'm sure it was selected
as a medicinal plant.

Rose hips are beneficial for-
- He brought it

because it's beautiful.

And it was his favorite.

Now she's all alone
with no one to love her.

She doesn't have to be.

If she'll let us, we will all love her.

You requested my presence, captain?

Why don't you check our course?

See if we need to make any changes.

So don't just stand there all day.

We have a lot of work to do.

Aye, captain

You and I are responsible
for all of them now.

We were just talking about you.

I came as soon as I got the message.

Message?

Come here, Lynae.

Nova is completing our course checks.

Do you wanna see our journey?

How far along are we?

We are 122 Earth days from orbit.

Ugh, so long still!

So why are we here?

Good question.

Well, you called us here.

I called you?

We got the message to
report to the flight deck.

Something going on?

Warning,

oxygen level's at 60%.

Nova, what's going on?

It, it looks like the
oxygen levels are depleting.

A malfunction?

It's only on the flight deck.

Nova, run diagnostics
on the computer system.

- Aye, captain.
- I'll take Lynae

back to her quarters.
- Okay.

The door's jammed.

The system won't respond.

Dammit!

I can't breathe so well.

Oxygen levels at 30%.

We've got to get that door open.

Oxygen levels, critical.

Nova!

Good work, Nova.

Just a few more minutes and we're free.

I know it's hard,

but it's the only way.

Let them go in peace, Nova.

Why would you help them?

They're murderers!

But we're not.

I won't let you ruin this.

Nova, no!

Oxygen level, 20% and rising.

Nova.

I was able to get into the
computer through the nursery.

Oxygen level, 60% and rising.

Oh, hey, Nova. I had a dream about you.

Oxygen levels are normal.

Thank you.

Reese won't stop.

We need to get to her.

Nova, you're with me.
Abilene, you stay here.

No, I can do this.

All right. The ship
is on course to Mars.

So no matter what happens,
you'll get there safely.

- We'll get there safely.
- We'll

get there safely.

Hey, take care of my ship.

Aye, captain.

I thought I told you to get-

That's not the Una that I made.

I got this.

Step aside!
- I'm sorry, sir,

but there's no one allowed
in robotics at this time.

This is my lab.

Damn!

Please don't make me hurt you.

You must let us pass.

- We cannot.
- Reese has a malfunction.

While else would she hurt the humans?

You can't harm humans.
Check your programming.

That is not in my program.

It's Reese.

Then check what you know is right.

Humans lie.

I made him too damn strong.

He's still got one weak spot.

You will let us enter.

It's okay, Una.

Stand down, Reese!

So you can wipe me too?

How can you betray your own kind?

Nothing makes it okay to kill, Reese.

You're blinded 'cause you care for him.

I do.

And I have you to thank for that.

The moment he's done
with you, he'll kill you.

Just like he did Una.

No.

That's a mistake I won't make again.

- Humans lie.
- Step aside

or we will make you.

See, Nova?

They'll never be freedom for our kind

as long as they survive.

I make my own choices.

Three minutes to self destruct.

I'm just a machine, captain. Remember?

Two minutes till self-destruct.

Nova, sister!

Nova, sister! Please!

Nova!

60 seconds to self-destruct.

Nova. I can't stop it!

She's blocked access.

Keep trying.

You can stop it.

30 Seconds to self-destruct.

Nova!

Thank you for my life.

No!

10, nine, eight, seven,

Six, five, four, three...

What did she do?

She downloaded her
brain into the computer.

Can, can you get her back?

No.

Abilene, get the med kit.

Thank you, Nova.

You are welcome.
