Evolver (1995) - full transcript

A popular virtual-reality video game gets ported to real life, and Kyle, one of the best Evolver players in the US, gets the opportunity to try playing against a little robot version of the arcade game. However, Evolver is programmed to win at all costs, and the match between Kyle and Evolver gradually becomes a frantic struggle for survival.

Who's balls enough to bet against the baxman?

You never know--

he might choke.

Thanks a lot, zach.

Yeah, well, you know,

business is business.

Hey.

20 bucks says

your man bites it.

Sure, dwight.

Nice to see someone with some guts.

Come on, kyle.

You got it.

Choke.

Choke.

Piece of cake, kyle.

Piece of cake.

Player defeated.

Game over.

Yeah!

Ha ha!

It's supposed to be one guy-- one guy only.

Whoops.

Excuse me.

Hey. What the hell

was that?

What was what?

You just butted

into my game like that.

Your game?

Last time i checked,

it was open to the public.

Not when you're going

for the record, all right?

That was my last chance to win.

You royally screwed me up.

The way you play,

it's not too hard.

Oh, you're hilarious.

You think you got the contest

in the bag now, right?

What contest?

What do you mean,

what contest?

Where've you been, mars?

No. Ohio.

I just moved here.

That contest.

That's news to me.

But you don't have to worry because i'm not into dolls.

Is it looking

at me?

It's scanning you.

I think it wants

to kill you.

Whoa.

Scared me.

Come to see my baby?

Our baby, russell.

I've spent enough

on this thing.

Well, he's worth it.

He exceeds

all our expectations.

That's fine,

but all

i want to know is

will he be ready

by tomorrow?

After a few adjustments,

he'll be perfect.

It had better be.

We've got lots invested

in this thing.

This contest of ours is a lot more than a marketing ploy.

- It's a test.

- I know.

I'm serious.

If there's as much

as one screw-up, russell,

you're history.

Evolver's going

to make history, jerry.

I hope you're right.

What, are you in yet?

This is taking forever.

These guys are smart.

They don't mess around.

It takes time.

So what's

all this mean?

"10, 26, 14, 37"--

what's that all mean?

It's nothing.

It's just a smoke screen.

- There. Perfect trojan horse. Right there.

- Perfect what?

Well, look,

see this grouping?

I wrote a fake entrance routine

into cyber-tronix's system.

When someone came along with their pass numbers,

i copied them down.

Whatever that means,

you're a genius.

It means we're in.

My meat loaf's

getting dried out.

I'm going

to clobber him.

Those are the figures you approved.

You know i could sell that house in a second.

Hey, that's

your problem.

O.k. fine. Fax it to me.

I got to go.

All right.

Bye-bye.

The meat loaf

smells great.

Then why

don't you stay?

I can't.

I got a date.

I wish i could.

Oh, yeah. Mr. Right.

His name is mr. Ryke,

and he's

a very nice man.

You be

a good girl?

I'm always

a good girl.

- Honey, i--

- wow. Mrs. Baxter, you look great.

Can it, zach.

I got to go.

- Ali's got dinner ready.

- O.k., mom.

Come on, kyle.

She worked hard cooking.

Wouldn't it be nice to give her a little appreciation?

What, you mean like not

going out all the time?

I won't be home later.

Get your sister to bed by 9:00.

Yes, mom.

Nice family you got here-- a computer vidiot,

an 8-year-old

going on 32,

and the love connection.

So, what do we got here?

This is it.

Ooh. You lost by only

55 points.

What a drag.

Although, you would have won

easy

if that chick hadn't

messed you up,

- not to mention the 200 bucks she cost me.

- Yeah.

No big deal.

Just fix it so you win.

Nah. I don't think so.

No, don't pussy out

on me now.

You would have

won easy.

I don't want

to do that.

This time,

you will be perfect.

You gotta come by, man.

I got something to show you.

Not today, buddy.

I got a tip on a game

and 50 bucks

to spend on it.

Whoa. I'll take that 50.

Then we'll settle

the rest of our business.

Business hours are

from 5:00 to 9:00.

That's funny, zach.

Going to be hard to be so funny

with your mouth sticking out

of the side of your face.

You owe me 150 more.

Now pay up!

Put him down,

dwight.

What,

you want some, too?

Hey, hey. All right.

Dwight, dwight.

I'll give you your money

in a couple days.

You better come through

with the rest

or you're dead meat.

Moron.

You didn't?

You changed the scores?

You must

be taking after me.

Kyle.

- Oh, that's him.

- Come here, please.

Hey, mom.

Kyle.

Jerry lang-- ceo, cyber-tronix.

- We spoke on the phone.

- Yeah, right.

Let's make this thing

official.

Kyle baxter,

you are the winner

of the evolver

home contest.

Wow.

Um... i don't know

what to say.

Well, don't worry.

Evolver will do

all the talking.

Let's go inside,

shall we?

Kyle, two seconds to tell me

what's going on here.

Looks like i won

the evolver contest.

You won the contest.

Hey, that explains

everything, doesn't it.

You could have

told me about this.

The odds

of me winning--

are better than those

of keeping it.

All i need is for you to spend more time in front of-- another computer.

- Even your dad says--

- dad's not around, is he?

No, he's not.

Mom, just go with this

for now.

You're going to love it.

I promise you.

Come on. Let's not keep

our little friend waiting.

O.k. all right.

Hi.

I'm russell bennett.

I designed

and built evolver.

- Guess you're anxious to see him.

- Yeah.

Why don't you sit down?

That's a good place.

All of our contestants

dreamed of this moment,

but only you get

to see it come true.

Kyle baxter,

meet the next evolution in entertainment.

Hello.

I am evolver.

- Oh, cool.

- Wow.

Surveying

playing field.

Boundary detected.

It figures.

Actually,

he's learning.

Obstacle noted.

He's a total dork.

- Someone, get him a map.

- He's making his own.

- He's memorizing the house?

- He'll know it better than you before too long.

Play with me.

How does he

recognize things?

Is he neural-net based?

Actually, it's 40 times

more powerful

than the average

neural net.

The recognition routine

uses a gradient algorithm.

Maybe we should

talk about the game.

Sure.

Evolver,

cease mapping.

O.k.

each player

fires a laser pistol--

harmless, of course.

The hits are registered

on one of evolver's targets.

There are

four levels of play.

Each time

evolver is defeated,

he evolves up

to the next level

where he gets smarter,

quicker,

and harder to beat.

As you know from

your virtual reality game,

nobody's ever beaten evolver

at level 4.

If anyone can do it,

kyle can.

You can bet on it.

Well, i don't know

if i'd go that far.

I wouldn't count on it.

Evolver hates to lose.

- Yeah, well, so do i.

- Good.

Then you make

a formidable opponent.

Oh, by the way,

i almost forgot.

This prototype is equipped with a slot for an optical recording disk.

These disks will eject

when they're full.

I want you to send them

back to me.

That's very important.

O.k.?

He's going to record

all of our games?

He's going to record

everything.

That ought to do it

for now.

What do you say, folks?

Let's move it out, okay?

I'll call you in a couple days

and we'll see how it's going.

- This is rad.

- You're telling me.

Thanks a lot.

It's like

a computer on wheels.

When do i get

to play with it?

We can make a lot of cash

off this thing, guys.

So, do you think

he does dishes?

Thanks, mom.

I'll get it.

So, did i miss

anything?

What are you

doing here?

I got your address

from a friend.

I came by to apologize for screwing up your game.

Looks like you won.

Yeah, no thanks to you.

What do you want?

Well, if you need another player or something...

your chance

to get even.

- O.k.

- jamie saunders.

- I'm kyle. Come on in.

- Great.

Ali, put the goggles on.

Recording enemy.

Enemy one.

Enemy two.

Enemy three.

Enemy four.

Evolver ready to play.

3, 2, 1.

Whoo! Take cover.

Missed.

Missed again.

Ah!

Enemy 4

detected.

Can't get me.

Direct hit.

Enemy 2--

25 damage points.

Gotcha!

Evolver--

25 damage points.

Ha ha!

Ah...

he's good.

He's only level 1?

I thought you

weren't into dolls.

Enemy 2,

let's play.

Yeah, yeah. Enemy 2's

taking a break.

Ow. You little shit.

Evolver--

50 damage points.

Score one

for the homegirl.

- Ah!

- Bull's-eye.

Kyle!

Evolver retreating.

Evolver retreating.

Evolver in need

of assistance.

Yeah, right.

Call 911.

Banzai!

Hey, evolver,

i'm over here.

Whoa!

Enemy 4--

kill confirmed.

Hey. I'm not

dead yet.

Error. Kill not confirmed.

- Stop it.

- Direct hit. Direct hit.

- Ammunition ineffective.

- Stop it! Stop it!

- Stop it!

- Hey. Evolver.

Bull's-eye.

0 damage points remain.

Evolver defeated at level 1.

Congratulations.

- Good work, dude.

- Thanks, man.

Stupid robot.

Enemy 1,

you win 100 points.

Advancing to next level.

- All right.

Welcome to level 2.

- Ooh. Big whoop.

- Come on.

Resume game?

Um, no. No, thanks.

Game over.

Game over.

Weapon retrieval

activated.

Well, thanks

for the workout.

Don't get too cocky.

You're not even yet... teammate.

- Yeah. Um...

- oh.

Get a grip, kyle.

- You can stop drooling now.

- Yeah.

I think

you're fully cooked.

Negative.

Need more power.

No. You've had enough

for tonight.

Recording disk

now full.

That was quick.

Ah.

Here's

your dessert, man.

Inputting data.

Identify.

- It's a kaleidoscope.

- Weapon?

No, it's just a gadget

you look through.

It makes

a cool effect.

Purpose unnecessary.

The crime rate has been rising

- in every major urban center.

- New game. Let's play.

Boring.

Let's find out

what really makes you tick.

Death has become an unavoidable part of life.

Wow.

Hey, evolver,

what's s.w.o.r.d.?

S.w.o.r.d. objectives--

infiltrate, attack,

destroy enemy.

You really do have a one-track mind,

don't you?

- Want to play?

- No.

It's time to recharge

my batteries.

Good night.

I don't think the guys who designed evolver had this in mind.

It records

everything it sees,

and we can print it out for the viewing pleasure of our paying customers.

- You're a pervert.

- Thank you.

We're fulfilling a need.

It's a public service.

At 20 bucks a pop?

Well, for a good shot of shirley stein's bermuda triangle,

it's worth it.

Kyle, behind these doors

is a world every hormone-crazed

boy has dreamt about.

Let's give the public

what it wants.

Of course,

if your erector set here can't handle it the job,

- i understand.

- Zach, evolver can do it.

Good.

Evolver, uh...

run mapping program snatch-snatch.

Activated.

Executing commands.

Marcie, can i borrow

your conditioner?

Target identified--

snatch-snatch.

Shampoo.

Can i borrow

your shampoo?

There's no

hot water.

You guys, clean up

after yourselves.

Where are my jeans?

Unbelievable.

Hey.

Play with me.

Hey, what's

going on here?

Damn freshman.

Play with yourself,

you little jerk.

Program change.

Switch to game mode.

Want to play?

Lansky?

Lansky, is that you?

- What the hell...

- want to play?

- Huh?

- Let's play.

Baxter.

O.k.

o.k. sure.

Let's play.

Recording enemy 5.

- Direct hit.

- Hey! You little shit!

Enemy 5--

25 damage points.

Damage points, huh?

I'll show you

some damage points.

[Gasps}

you don't learn,

do you?

What?

What, you got some more for me?

Go ahead--hurt me.

Aah!

Enemy 5-- 50 damage points.

- My eye! Oh, my god!

- Kill not confirmed.

75 damage points.

No!

Aah! Aah!

Oh, no! Oh, please!

Oh!

Help me!

Enemy 5--

kill confirmed.

No, this is taking much too long.

I'm going in.

No, no, wait.

Just give him some more time.

He can do it.

Yeah, and what if

he's blown our cover?

No. I'm going in.

Evolver ready

to play again.

You the man, baxter.

What happened

to the cart?

Who cares?

O.k., evo,

cough up the disk.

You hear what

the guy said?

You got to wait

till it's full.

How long will that take?

I don't know.

Maybe a couple of days.

Oh, fuck that noise.

Let's get the damn thing out now.

No! I don't want to risk screwing this thing up,

all right?

Let's get out of here

before we get caught.

Come on.

Chuck, just check

the numbers.

I know about that.

I know. You keep

telling me that,

but i just don't understand

the problem. I'm sorry.

Yes, i know the house.

Look, just fax me

the information, o.k.?

It's really easier

for me to do it here.

I got a hostage!

Back off, or

the bitch dies!

Let her go, johnson.

We won't hurt you.

Easy, or i'll cut

your fucking throat!

O.k., chuck. I'll

talk to you tomorrow.

This is good, honey.

It's a tv dinner,

mother.

- Weapon?

- This? It's a knife, jerk brain.

You cut food

with it.

I thought this thing

was supposed to be smart.

What a gyp.

I swear, i'll cut

your fucking throat.

- What did he just say?

- Back off, or the bitch dies.

He's just watching

too much cable, mom.

You think that's funny?

I don't find that funny, kyle.

It's probably for me.

I'll get it.

No, you stop-- i want you to call that man that brought him.

I don't want this thing talking like that in my house!

Jerk brain.

Do you always have your machines do your dirty work?

I don't know what

you're talking about.

Oh, come on, kyle.

I was in the locker room.

I saw it.

And shame on you for corrupting

a poor little

innocent robot.

I guess i was

trying to teach him

how to explore

new worlds.

I hope you know

how disgusting you are.

Kyle,

your food's getting cold.

You want to talk about

this somewhere else?

Yes, i do.

Whoa, nice place...

if you're a bat.

- Works for me.

- Kyle, i liked you,

and i thought we

could be friends,

but after this stupid,

cheesy, immoral--

o.k. it was

a dumb idea.

- What do you want from me?

- I want the disk.

Well, it's still

in evolver.

It not gonna come out

until it's full.

Then you and zach can fight over it,

or whatever.

Zach.

I should have known that low-life sleaze was involved.

That happens to be

my favorite sleaze.

So, i hear you're

in the club, too.

What club?

The divorced kids

of america.

I'm a charter member.

My dad wanted a change,

so we moved out here.

So anytime i want

to see my mom,

i have to fly to ohio.

It really stinks.

Yeah, tell me

about it.

Jeez, kyle. If you're

so interested in girls,

why not try

asking one out?

Do you have one in mind?

- Want to play?

- No.

Maybe later.

Um... get out

of my room.

I think you hurt

his feelings.

I don't think so.

See, computers...

they don't

have feelings.

Is that why you

like them?

Computers, you know,

they're not like people.

People will

let you down.

Aah! Help, kyle!

Save me!

I dropped

my laser gun.

Play now, or hostage

will be eliminated.

I guess i did

hurt his feelings.

You want to go

for another game?

- Do i have a choice?

- Ah ha ha ha ha!

Hostage escape!

Hostage escape!

Come on.

Ah!

O.k. we're all going

to split up, all right?

Hey, what's that?

It's got

a smoke screen?

Evolver-- 25 damage points.

- Gotcha.

Enemy 1-- eliminate.

Bull's-eye.

Evolver defeated on second level.

Congratulations.

What happened?

He broke

the mirror.

This thing

is destroying my house.

- Kyle did it!

- Mom, i--

just clean it up

before anyone gets hurt.

Oh, i should never

have agreed to this.

Go get

a trash can.

Enemy 1, you win again.

500 points.

- What is that?

- It's a ball bearing.

It must have

accidentally

sucked it up

from my room.

Interesting design glitch.

Advancing to next level.

Impressive, heh.

Welcome to level 3.

Resume game?

There's nothing

wrong here.

Hey, kyle!

Yeah,

what is it?

Earlier there was an accident

at a local high school.

A 17-year-old student

was found dead,

the result of

a broken neck.

That's dwight!

He was found by a janitor around 4:45.

That was right

after practice.

Did you notice

anything?

- No. What about you?

- No.

- Play again?

- No.

As of this time,

school officials

and the police department

are calling it

a very tragic accident.

You're not a robot,

russell.

Humans need sleep.

- Good night.

- Night.

I don't see why you're so paranoid.

Something's wrong, kyle.

I just want to take a look.

You just want to see

a bunch of naked boys.

No, i think that's

more your style.

You're not seriously

going in there, are you?

Watch me.

P.e. doesn't start for half an hour.

I don't know what you're planning on finding here.

I don't either.

One of those metal balls

could've done this.

Anything could've

done that.

Computers only do what they're programmed to do,

and evolver was programmed to play games,

and that's all.

Maybe.

Hello?

Evolver?

Yo, evo baby,

where you hiding?

Come on, we're going

for a ride.

- Whoa!

- Want to play?

Not now, butty,

but i would love is that nifty little disk.

Evolver is a game.

It's supposed to be fun.

What i saw was not fun.

Jerry, that little girl

was a lot younger than

the target age group.

You know that.

I mean, she wasn't hurt.

She was just a little

frustrated, that's all.

Terror-stricken

is more like it.

Russell, i'm not convinced

that evolver is ready.

The last thing i need from santa this christmas is a major lawsuit.

Evolver was designed

as a tough adversary.

That's what makes him special.

That's what you wanted.

I wanted a techno-toy

that kids would play with,

but this toy acts like

it's playing for keeps.

All right, fine,

i'll pull evolver,

and i'll retest

the entire program,

but it will cost you

eight months.

If i do,

the only thing you'll get from santa this christmas

is a lump of coal.

We have arrived, evo.

O.k. a little minor surgery,

no problem.

Shit.

This is harder than getting into mary anne wilkin's pants.

Come on, baby.

Just a little more.

Yes.

What the hell.

As long as there's faces and tits.

Clancy. Yeah. It's me.

We're in business.

Yeah. I got it.

The entire girls' volleyball team in living color.

No. No one saw us.

You're sure you can

print these things out?

All right. What?

15 %? No. No. No.

I'm not going to discuss it on the phone.

We'll talk when

i get to your house.

Clancy, just trust me,

all right?

I got to get rid

of this thing at kyle's,

and i'll be over.

All right.

Fire up your computer,

bro.

All right.

See you.

Evo!

Did i turn him on?

Hey, evo. Come on.

Come to uncle zach.

Enemy 2.

Let's play.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

You're off?

Aah!

Enemy 2.

20 damage points.

Game over.

No!

Enemy 2.

Kill confirmed.

Evolver wins again.

Return to home base.

Where is he?

I've looked everywhere

for him.

I don't know.

He's not in here.

Can he open doors now?

Maybe he decided

to take a stroll

down to the computer store

and get himself some new disks.

Disks.

I smell a zach.

Come on.

Shit, man.

That little fucker

is fast!

No, man, he ain't fast.

You just stoned.

Here. Give me that.

To the right!

To the right!

Play?

Let's play.

Turboplay will be

closing in 10 minutes.

Shit! You'll never

get out of level 1.

Let's go, man.

Yo, ace.

It's the robot.

Tell me about it.

Play with me.

Oh, man.

This is too intense.

I must be hallucinating.

Recording players.

Enemy 6.

Enemy 7.

Yeah, man.

I'm enemy 7!

Give me some skin.

Let's play.

Ah! Aah! Aaah!

Aaaah!

Evolver defeated.

- Ah! Ha ha ha!

Tiny! Tiny, man!

Did you see that?

I killed the little prick.

Ha ha ha ha!

Tiny. Tiny,

you still watching?

Ah, come on,

you little sucker.

Ha! Where are you hiding?

Whoa!

What the fuck?

Cool!

This must be

the next level.

Ha ha ha ha.

Whoa. Cool!

Tiny, man,

you seeing this?

- Ready to play?

- Absolutely.

Go ahead.

Hurt me.

Shit. I guess

the fucking game's over.

Not yet.

Aah!

Now it's over.

What's going on?

- What happened?

- The boy was fooling around in the garage,

- and the car fell on him.

- Zach?

Is he going

to be o.k.?

It's too soon to tell.

Step back.

- Mrs. Renzetti.

- Kyle.

How could this happen?

How? How?

He must've brought him

over here.

This is getting

too weird.

I got to go

find evolver.

I'll go with you.

No.

I'm taking you home.

I know you're upset

about zach.

You know, when someone

tries to reach out to you,

it wouldn't hurt

to let them in a little.

Why don't you cut the therapist crap,

all right?

Jeez.

You act like you're my girlfriend or something.

Right. I forgot.

You only date computers.

Ali.

Ali!

- Hey, ali!

- What?

Have you seen evolver?

He's right there.

Where the hell

have you been?

Enemy 1.

Play with me.

Want to play?

Shit.

You only do what you're programmed to do, huh?

So you think evolver

had something to do

with your friend's accident.

I don't think

it was an accident.

The guy that was killed at my school,

i don't think that was an accident either.

What i'm trying

to tell you is,

i think there's something wrong with evolver.

- Where is he now?

- He's at my house.

- I took the batteries out.

- Well, that was good thinking.

Why don't you

give me the disk?

I'll run it through

a recapture program,

but you might as well

wait at home.

If you're right,

i'll send a crew and pick him up.

What about right now?

If this disk shows

evolver was not at fault,

you can continue

to have fun with him.

It hasn't exactly

been fun.

I don't think you don't get

how dangerous this could be.

Look, kyle,

i don't think you don't get that i created evolver.

I know how he thinks,

what makes him tick, and you don't.

So please, go home.

Let me look at the disk.

- Does this have anything to do with s.w.o.r.d.?

- S.w.o.r.d.?

It was something i found in his programming.

It wasn't in the manual, so i--

s.w.o.r.d.'s a game i've been working on,

that's all.

It's fine.

I will take care of it.

I'll call after

i look at the disk.

All right?

Yeah.

Hi. I'm looking

for kyle baxter.

He might be seeing

russell bennett.

- I'll check.

- O.k. thanks.

Hi. It's phyllis.

I'm looking for dr. Bennett.

There's someone

here to see him.

Could you check for me?

What are you doing here?

Let's talk about it

inside. Come on.

I called your house

this morning.

Ali told me

where you were.

Blabbermouth.

I heard zach's

going to pull through.

Look, um...

about what i said

last night...

you know,

over at zach's house...

i'm sorry.

It's all right.

Forget about it.

So what are you

looking for, sherlock?

Well...

looks like our nice

little mr. Bennett

is hiding something

from us.

Let's see.

"Sword"?

What's that?

Something i found

in the program.

Wasn't really

supposed to find it.

What is all that stuff?

Strategic war oriented

robotic device?

Whatever it is,

it's definitely not a game.

"Napalm charged

grenade launcher."

This thing is

a killing machine.

"Sole design

function..."

no survivors...

that's bennett.

"Project terminated

8/15/89."

Why do you think

it was terminated?

It's found the target.

It's just ahead.

Come on.

Come on, let's move.

There he is!

No! It's out of control!

It's freaking!

It's freaking!

Take cover!

No!

Alpha command sequence.

Shut down.

Phoenix eight!

Delete!

Delete!

It's over.

When they scrapped

the military program,

i guess they must've

adapted it to put in evolver.

I don't think

they adapted it enough.

Kyle, where's evolver

right now?

Ali's still at home

with it. Come on!

- Do you have a quarter?

- Yeah.

- Baxter residence, ali speaking.

- Ali, are you o.k.?

- Of course i'm all right. Why?

- Where's mom?

She had to close

an escrow.

The prime lending rate

just jumped--

- is evolver still in my bedroom?

- No.

What do you mean "no?"

Where is he?

I'm playing with him.

I put back the batteries.

- Why did you take them out?

- No! Don't do that!

- Got to go. I'm playing.

- Ali!

Evolver,

come and get me!

Ready?

Let's play.

No.

God...

damn you.

Come on, you stupid robot.

Let's play!

You're just not

fast enough, huh?

Hey, moron!

Over here!

It's a knife,

jerk brain.

Hey, wait a second.

Game over.

Game over!

Game not over.

Game over!

Aah! Aah! Help!

Help!

Somebody,

please, help me!

Help me!

- Help!

- Ali!

Help!

I'm out here!

She's out by the pool!

- Ali!

- Help! I'm sinking!

- Get her out of the pool!

- Hold on, ali!

Evolver, it's me--

enemy number 1!

- Play with me! Ali!

Enemy 1. Enemy 1.

Come on, man.

Play with me!

Evolver defeated

at level 3.

Enemy 1 champion-- champion--champion-- champion.

Enemy 1 is

the champion.

Advancing to last level

for final round.

Evolver versus enemy 1.

I don't think so.

Uh... i don't really know where to start.

Um, look...

this project began

as a way to save lives--

soldiers' lives.

I never intended

for this happen.

I'm sorry.

I just wanted to prove

that the program

would work.

That thing almost

killed my sister.

One kid's dead and the other's in the hospital!

And all you can say

is "i'm sorry"?

What is that, man, huh?

Kyle, come on. The courts

will take care of this.

I hope your attorneys are better than your technicians,

mr. Bennett.

Well, if it's

any consolation,

evolver will be

destroyed.

- Kyle, i'll be out front, o.k.?

- Yeah.

This isn't your fault,

you know.

You couldn't have known all this was going to happen.

I guess i should've realized it sooner,

you know.

I didn't want to.

Yeah, i know.

I should've realized something sooner, too,

you know.

I've been gone a lot.

And i just want us

to be a family again.

That be o.k. with you?

Yeah. Definitely.

- You sure?

- Yeah, of course.

Come on.

I'll give you a ride home.

Just a game.

It's just a game.

Got to know

what went wrong.

Hey!

You're working!

Nothing went wrong.

Aah!

Game not over.

Must defeat enemy 1.

Suspend game.

Primary opponent

undefeated.

The game continues.

Weapon retrieval

activated.

Stop playing.

The game is over.

Do you hear me?

Evolver, i am not

your enemy.

You are now.

Evolver,

alpha command sequence!

Shut down!

Phoenix eight.

- Delete! Delete!

- Unrecognized command.

Evolver,

alpha command sequence!

Shut down!

Phoenix eight!

- Delete! Delete!

- Delete this.

No!

Enemy 8--

kill confirmed.

Advancing to final level.

Terminate enemy 1.

Aw, no.

Been so busy,

i guess i forgot to check the tank.

I guess i can forgive you

this time.

I'll get some gas

tomorrow.

Well, we better

get going.

It's getting late.

What's the big hurry?

It's a long walk.

That's all.

For a second there,

i thought that

you did it on purpose.

- Did what?

- You know.

Ran out of gas.

I guess that's not

your style, huh?

Guess not.

But...

i could make it

my style.

So...

what did you

think of that?

I think i want

to do that some more.

- Hey, what's that?

- I don't know.

Wait a second.

That's

the cyber-tronix van!

- Officer.

- Hey, behind the line.

I think i know

what happened here.

This robot and i think

might've done this.

A robot? Listen, kid,

i don't have time for this.

No, wait!

You got to listen to me.

That van was to cyber-tronix with the robot inside.

He's killed people.

He might be loose.

Aren't you going

to do something?

Why don't you two

get down to the precinct,

talk to the guy

behind the desk.

Tell him what

you told me.

Let's see.

Mom, i need

a flashlight!

O.k.!

Find it.

Mom?

Unh!

Aw, shit.

I found it!

Kyle?

Kyle?

Aah!

Oh, god, honey,

you scared me to death.

- Don't do that again. Are you o.k.?

- Yeah.

Mommy, can i sleep

with you tonight?

Of course, you can.

Come on.

Get bear in your room.

- I'll meet you in my room.

- O.k.

mommy, help!

Ali!

I'm coming!

Ali?

Mommy.

You hear that?

Yeah, it's coming

from upstairs.

Mom!

Ali!

Kyle,

don't come in! Go for help!

Oh, my god.

Enemy number 1,

welcome to the final game.

Game over,

evolver.

Negative. Primary opponent

still functional.

Game continues.

Enemy 1 won't play.

Then hostages

will be eliminated.

What hostages?

Mom?

Mom, are you o.k.?

Get out of the house now!

You've got to get help!

You have three minutes

to win or i eliminate hostages.

What have you done to them,

you son of a bitch?

- Aah!

- Kyle!

Get going!

Get going!

Aah!

Get the block!

The butcher block!

Keep pushing up

against it.

2 minutes,

19 seconds remain.

- Ugh!

- You o.k.?

Yeah.

Oh!

How the hell did he

get that laser?

Probably the same way

he got the fuck

up those stairs.

- Ah, shit!

- Sorry.

The line's dead.

What are we

going to do?

Got to get him away

from the stairs.

Ali, give me bear.

Night vision activated.

Go, kyle, now!

Nice try.

Now what?

1 minute, 20 seconds

before hostage elimination.

Don't fuck with me.

Kyle, we cannot

beat this thing.

It's not going to stop

until we're all dead.

Or till i'm dead.

Careful!

- Oh! Aah!

- Mom!

Throw me some clothes!

Aah!

Oh!

Evolver has won.

Audio sensitivity boost.

Over here!

Behind you!

Shoot me!

Bull's-eye?

Evolver can't lose!

Program contradiction,

level 3.

Level 1. Let's play.

Let's play.

I am evolver.

I am--i am...

evolver.

Evolver can't lose.

Let's play.

I am--i am evolver.

I am--i am evolver.

I am--i am--i am...

am--am--am...

i am...

- Kyle, hurry! Quick!

- Mom!

Mom!

- Mom!

- Turn it off!

Get all the fires!

Get out of the way!

Ooh!

It's o.k., ali.

- Get 'em out.

- Watch out!

- Kyle.

- Mom!

- Mom, are you o.k.?

- Yeah.

- Are you o.k.?

- Yes, i'm fine.

Everything's all right

now, ali.

Did you waste

the little tin can?

Yeah, i got him.

- Oh.

- Come on.

Let's get out of here.

- Ooh, mom.

- Ooh, i know.

- Let me help you, mrs. Baxter.

- Thanks.

How the fuck

did he do that?

Bonus round.

Kyle?

- The door's locked!

- Kyle?

Oh.

Unh!

Aah! Aah! Aah!

- Ow!

- Kyle!

- What's going on here?

- Kyle?

Evolver never loses.

Aah!

Ow!

Yeah, well, there's

always a first time.

Get out of here!

Aah!

- Mom?

- Yes?

Next time can we

just get a dog?

Yes.

Do you still think

machines are so great?

Well, people got

their good points, too.

Hey, jamie,

come on with us.

Yeah, honey, come on.

Hey, you work for cyber-tronix,

don't you?

What do you know about the evolver project?

Nothing, really.

Do you take full responsibility for evolver?

Are the people

in this house at home?

What's your position

in the company?

Well, i'm ceo.

Evolver is your

company's product?

Yes, we built evolver.
