(HENRY GASPS)

Hello, Henry.

Oh...

You can't speak,

but that's normal.

Well, it isn't normal,

but it's only temporary, okay?

Do you remember

how you got here?

That's fine.

That's normal, too.

Henry, wait.

Wait.

We'll get there.

Scan.

(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

SCANNER: Sensory processor activated.

ESTELLE: Relax, okay?

Scanning.

Video link confirmed.

ESTELLE: Up.

(WHIRRING CONTINUES)

This next part

might hurt.

Maybe quite a lot.

But it won't last long,

I promise.

(CLICKING)

Almost there.

Welder.

(WHIRRING)

(MACHINE BEEPING)

(WHIRS)

You can do it.

Wonderful, Henry.

Squeeze.

(ARM WHIRS SLOWLY)

Harder.

(ESTELLE SCREAMS

AND GIGGLES)

Cool, right?

Integument?

(WHIRRING)

(BEEPS AND WHIRS)

Please don't move

your hand.

You probably don't recall.

But you were never

a big fan of my work.

Maybe this will

change your mind.

Right?

Memory's a funny thing.

I'm an expert and I don't know

if you'll ever get yours back.

You don't remember me at all,

do you, Henry?

My name is Estelle.

You and I were...

(MACHINE BEEPS)

We still are...

(WHIRRING)

Husband and wife.

I love you, Henry.

I can't wait to

hear you say it.

(DOOR BEEPS)

(ELECTRIC GUITAR

PLAYING LOUDLY)

(STOPS)

Henry.

His memories are still

catching up with him.

Oh, Jesus.

I'm Robbie.

The sorcerer of sound.

You are gonna love this.

Because, sir,

you're gonna get to pick

your own voice.

(IMITATING ELVIS) Thank you.

Thank you very much.

(MACHINE BEEPS)

(IMITATES LOUIS ARMSTRONG)

Hello, Henry.

Robbie.

Oh, come on, they're options.

What white guy wouldn't wanna

sound like Louis Armstrong?

Just one more. Quick.

(IMITATES DARTH VADER)

Henry, I am your father.

Robert, enough.

(CHUCKLES)

Sorry, Mom.

How about we use Henry's voice?

Yeah, whatever you say.

You're the boss.

Boring.

COMPUTER: Security breach.

Oh, fuck.

Level 4.

Is this a drill?

What is this?

Security breach, level 4.

Lock the door.

It's probably a mistake.

Estelle, call the base.

Security breach, level 4.

AKAN: Get up.

Henry, right?

Please. Don't.

Shut up.

How do you like

the new you?

Did I interrupt the procedure?

Can Henry not talk yet?

No, he can't. No.

Don't look at me

like that, Henry.

Your girlfriend here

might have rebuilt you,

but I gave her the raw

materials to work with.

And I mean really, really raw materials.

(WHIMPERING)

What's your name?

Timothy.

Nice to meet you,

Timothy.

Did you see Henry when Estelle

brought his remains here?

Yeah.

Would you please be so kind

to describe them

to better Henry's understanding

of how good he looks now?

Sure. His arm was

shot off below the...

Below the elbow and the...

The leg shot off below the knee.

And there was

a football-sized dent...

Did you happen to see

his head?

Yes.

Do tell.

Um, the skull was dented in

and there was this...

His eyes were missing

and, um, the bottom half of

his jaw was shred to pieces.

(KNIFE CLICKS)

Just about right.

(GROANING) What?

(SCREAMS)

(GASPING)

(ESTELLE WHIMPERING)

Henry, try to keep up!

(MEN SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY)

Shh.

Come on.

(HEAVY BREATHING)

Kick it in.

(AIR HISSING)

Come on.

If Akan gets

ahold of my work,

men like these will be brought back

from the dead to form his army.

Go! Go!

Henry, no!

(WIND WHOOSHING)

Henry!

Take my hand!

Is your speech module

Shit.

Well, at least we know

you're not deaf.

It's all right.

You can put your hands down now.

Three years I've been

waiting for this moment

and I get Charlie

fucking Chaplin.

Fuck's sake, come on!

(RADIO PLAYING POP MUSIC)

All right, let's have

a look at you.

Open the glove box, please.

Take out that

whole contraption.

You gotta untangle the wires.

Is that a wedding ring?

Are you married?

How's that working out

for you?

Yeah, what a shocker.

Right. Next, I need you to

take your shirt off, please.

Open up there.

Yeah, those.

Plug the jacks in there.

Yeah, in there.

So, your name's Henry and...

Okay, well, the good news is

that you're gonna live a while.

The bad news

is that in this case, a while means 20,

30 minutes tops, Henry.

Unless you're very,

very lucky.

(BEEPING)

Which you are.

Uncle Jimmy is gonna take

you to his lab. Hang on.

(MUSIC CONTINUES ON RADIO)

Oh, shit. We got

bacon on our tail.

Unplug yourself.

Put that away.

(SIREN BLARING)

There's some clothes in there.

Put the hoodie on.

We've only got a few moments until

they run into us again, mate. Just...

Okay, just give me your arm.

Okay, just relax.

(JIMMY GRUNTS)

Here it is.

Come on. Hey, bingo!

(HENRY GRUNTS)

This little fucker is how

they've been tracking you.

Toodle-oo.

In a few moments, your mechanical

parts are gonna start shutting down.

Your friend Akan's got an important

Russian connection named Slick Dimitry.

Slick handles all Akan's

cops/guns/real estate/

a lot of other shit.

This helpful dot on the map

is Slick's place.

All you gotta do

is break in there,

kill him,

open up his rib cage,

take out his beating heart,

and fucking eat it.

(CHUCKLES)

I'm kidding!

I'm kidding. You don't have

to fucking eat his heart.

Under his heart is his

charge pump, yeah?

Bring that to me.

Use this and I'll

contact you on this.

That has gotta be the gayest

jacket I've ever seen.

Fuck, you're late!

You're late! Ha!

(MUSIC STOPS)

The last 15 minutes have been a fucking

roller coaster of emotions for me, mate.

I didn't know if I was ever

gonna see you again. (CHUCKLES)

So I fired up

some of this shit.

Fired up my fucking nose.

(DISTORTED)

But there you are.

It's okay.

You just lost power.

Come on. Hey, there!

Bring me some of that

strong Russian shit, ladies.

Okay, now where's

that booster pump?

Where is it? Did you get it?

Did you get the fucking... (PANTING)

Yeah! Fucking hell.

This is it.

This is it, yeah?

Okay, hang on.

Okay, hold this, lady.

Shit.

Okay, I gotta get this

I'm in no condition to do this.

(DISTORTED VOICE)

What have you done this time, Jimmy?

Are you still conscious?

Yeah. Hello.

You're gonna be okay.

Just gotta get a little bit

of power into you.

Ladies, could you give us

a bit of space, please?

Thank you.

You're a big deal,

you know?

You're not the only one

wronged by Akan.

You and I both

want the same thing.

This may hurt a bit.

(MECHANICAL WHIRRING)

There we go.

(PANTING)

That's wonderful.

Now I can take you

back to my lab.

I'm Jimmy, by the way.

I realize this is all

very confusing for you.

But it's better

if I show you

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

at the lab, yes...

Hello?

(SPEAKS RUSSIAN)

They're here.

They must've followed you.

I can't let them see me like this.

I can't let... I'm sorry.

I can't stay here, Henry.

Don't mind her, Henry.

She's mourning her late husband.

(HENRY THUDS)

I wasn't betting on

seeing you again.

Your persistence

is unparalleled.

Quite exciting.

(SHRIEKS)

Slick Dimitry's services

were excellent.

I'm just glad

I never paid up front.

I'll tell Estelle

you did well.

JIMMY: Akan!

Akan, you open this fucking

door, you hear me?

I got her all dolled up in the

back of my truck downstairs.

This is a rare

surviving bat.

Estelle.

Would you please be

so kind and stand up?

(GRUNTS)

HENRY: (WHISPERS) No.

Or do you want to

take her place?

Estelle, your boy's

quite the white knight,

sacrificing himself

to keep you alive

only for my dick

(SPITS)

to kill you later.

Are you sure, Henry?

Are you sure?

(SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

Shit.

Look at this.

Dude's got a memory blocker.

JIMMY: Well, that's about

all I can do for you, mate.

Time for a reboot.

See you in about

15 minutes, hopefully.

(WOMAN LAUGHS)

Hey.

He's awake.

Your eyes might be

a bit blurry.

It's just your depth perception

trying to calibrate, yeah?

Follow me as I walk, yeah?

Get up.

Okay.

All right.

Can you focus on me

Thank you, sir.

I've lobotomized everything

not essential...

(CORK POPS)

Not essential to soldiers.

Personal memories, speech, sense of taste.

It's all gone.

Might still have a bit of an

issue with emotional motivation,

which...

Motivation?

Try your fucking

paycheck, James.

My...

Yes, okay.

(THUDS)

AKAN: What the shit-fuck,

James?

I'm sorry, sir!

I'm so sorry!

Oh, shit! Open the doors!

Please! Open the door!

We've got a malfunction!

Let me out, please!

(BANGING ON DOOR)

Sir, I'll fix it.

I doubt it.

(JIMMY SCREAMS)

Fucking idiot.

(GROANING)

(JIMMY GASPS)

You know, Jimmy, something

about a spine snapping

(BONES CRACKING)

never gets old.

(GLASS SHATTERS)

It sounds like...

The end, the beginning?

Or are they the same?

Have a seat, Henry.

When a man is first

crippled,

there's always one question

on everyone's mind,

especially his.

Does his dick work?

Mine didn't, so I plotted

my escape from this chair.

I had come to Russia

when the west banned

resuscitation of

cadaver tissue.

Akan's a megalomaniac,

but my research was funded.

I kept my eyes

on the Nobel Prize.

Who has time for icky ethics when

he's rich and his cock works, eh?

(GUNSHOT ON TV)

I paid a high price.

I stopped making soldiers

and then I succeeded.

I grew men

made of cyberflesh.

Really, they're just

fancy-pants prostheses,

but don't dare tell...

My avatars!

Now, cyborgs, on the other

hand, have bits and a brain.

They think for themselves,

in theory at least.

Shall we have a look at you?

(ZIPPER OPENS)

(SNIFFING)

That hippie,

always with the ganja.

You're not baked, are you?

Hope not.

All right.

(WHISTLES)

You are the man, Henry.

Hmm.

There's very little actual

man left, of course.

Enhanced skeletal

muscular systems,

cardiovascular turbo boosted with

a curium-244 atomic battery.

A good night's sleep and you'd

power an aircraft carrier.

Remarkable technology,

is it not?

Not you. My boys.

I made the first few

for revenge but then

I started exploring

new aspects of myself.

Can I have a sip?

Mmm.

I have lived these

past years, Henry.

My lads,

they get speeding tickets,

they walk barefoot through the grass,

and boy, do they get laid.

You'll never guess what we

do here sometimes alone.

Hit play. Over there.

Go on.

(JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING)

I've got you

Under my skin

I've got you deep

In the heart of me

So deep in my heart That

you're really A part of me

I've got you

Under my skin

I'd tried so

Not to give in

I said to myself

"This affair never Will go so well"

But why should I try to resist

when, baby, I know so well

I've got you under my skin?

(WARNING ALARM BEEPS)

What is all this?

Close your eyes.

Something's wrong with you, mate.

Don't worry, it's not

the clap or nothing.

Just gonna sit you down in this

chair and take a look at you, yeah?

The scan says

you're in terrible danger.

(LOCK CLICKS)

Of being shivved for being a traitor,

you lying grasser!

I'm shutting you down, mate.

(GROANS)

(BABY WHEEZING)

Now!

We tried to

unplug you nicely

even though we knew that you

beamed your video to Akan.

No?

What's this?

(ECHOING) What's that?

You're broadcasting

that to Akan!

Enough!

Enough.

Even if I did believe you,

I still have to...

(WARNING ALARM BLARES)

(GROANS)

Fuck! Henry, no!

No!

(SCREAMS)

You brought them to my lab!

I trusted you!

Henry, please kill me.

Akan won't.

He'll make me live in this

straightjacket of rotten, smelly skin!

What the fuck was I thinking that

Akan's toy robot was my friend?

(BREATHING HEAVILY)

Thank you, Henry.

Fuck you, too,

but mostly thanks.

My lab's compromised,

but I can build a new one

using Akan's equipment

when we go get your wife

together, right?

Hey, put that on the wall.

If I can't have my lab,

no one's having her.

Now, don't lose this.

Fuck you, Akan.

And don't change your channel.

We're coming right over.

All right, I counted

six vehicles.

That's at least 35 men.

We've gotta cut them down to half

that before they enter the hotel

to give us a fighting chance

to get out alive.

Also,

there's a certain stigma attached

to blokes who like musicals.

I just wanna get it out there right

now that I'm straight as an arrow.

(VEHICLES APPROACHING)

Got it?

Here they come.

Wait for it.

(GUN COCKS)

Now.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Hey, cover me.

(PUNK MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHING)

Fuck, they're in the hotel.

We don't need the sniper

anymore either.

Go inside. See the colonel.

Over here, laddie.

Arm yourself to the teeth.

Don't touch that.

Imogene's mine.

That's what my father

used to say.

"A grenade a day

keeps the enemy at bay."

Come along.

Chop-chop.

Big Sally.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

Eh...

Well, home is

where the battle is.

Right, private, it is our duty to ensure

that no harm comes to the cripple,

understood?

Follow on.

If you can hear them,

but you can't shoot them,

you can probably

grenade them.

Drop an egg

down there, laddie.

(MAN SHOUTS INDISTINCTLY)

Forward.

Come along.

Good Lord,

how embarrassing.

(GUNS FIRING)

Dodged a bullet on that one.

I'll cover you.

You go around them.

(GUNFIRE CONTINUES)

JIMMY: Don't let the cripple

get below you, laddie!

(MAN SPEAKING RUSSIAN)

(GRENADE EXPLODES)

(MAN SHOUTS)

Jolly good.

Pull your weight!

Help me with the cripple.

(MAN SHOUTS IN RUSSIAN)

(WHISPERS) Retreat five paces

back on my command, laddie.

(MERCENARIES LAUGHING)

Spasibo, Yuri. My quarters

are actually up there.

Would you like to see them?

Oh, we will.

Indeed.

(BEEPS)

(MEN SCREAMING IN PAIN)

JIMMY: Don't spare

the horses.

You can take

the next slipway.

Off here. Here we go.

(TIRES SCREECHING)

(GUN FIRING)

Down on anchors, laddie.

Let's turn the tables on these buggers.

Tally-ho.

(TIRES SCREECH)

Big Ben.

Akan is a cunt.

(DOOR SHUTS)

Oh, my.

Looks like Akan's

already begun.

By tomorrow, these poor chaps will be

super robotic soldiers like yourself.

Look out!

(METAL SUIT CLANKS)

(SCREAMS)

(SHOUTING)

JIMMY: On your feet, lad.

(GUNSHOTS)

On your left.

Hang on.

I'm gonna buy you

some time!

Seal the door.

(JIMMY PANTING)

Can't tell you the number

of times I've dreamt

that I was riding up

in this lift.

It's a pity I can't...

It's just the landing gear,

laddie.

Now, listen to me.

When you kill Akan,

I want you to look him

right in those eyes

until the rest of him is just as

dead as they are, understood?

No, I'm afraid I shall

not be coming with.

But you letting me get you this

far has given an old sweat

his grandest gift

in all his years.

No. It's lodged

in his jugular.

If you uncork it,

I won't be able to...

(STUTTERS) The thingamajig

in your pocket, quickly.

Well, I have

a confession to make.

See, I've been surveilling

Akan for years.

So when you dropped down

onto that roadway

and went rogue

so magnificently,

well, all I saw was

my shot at revenge.

You proved me right with Dimitry,

but then in the forest,

well, I noticed an implant.

A memory block, see?

And I couldn't afford to have you

remember a better life somewhere else.

So I left it in.

Not my finest hour,

I'm afraid.

But then,

back at my lab while

I was trying to analyze

what you could do for me,

I realized

who you are to me.

Henry.

It's bloody nice

having a friend, Henry.

You'd think

all those deaths would've

prepared me for this.

If you haven't already,

you'll start to remember bits

from your past now, Henry.

And those memories,

they're real.

They're you.

Trust them.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

(GUNS FIRING)

(MEN SHOUTING)

AKAN: Memories,

memories, memories.

My first batch of

cyber soldiers.

With everything that

you have experienced today

uploaded into what's

left of their brains,

all they remember is waking up in the lab

with their wife screwing their legs on.

I love you, Charlie.

I love you, Edward.

I love you, Thomas.

You recognize these?

No?

That's odd.

They're your wife's.

(SNIFFING)

Mmm...

I smell what you

like about her.

(BEEPING)

This one is almost

ready for you.

But I'm warning you,

their boosters make

the one you have in you now...

Look like a fucking 9-volt.

Go ahead and fuck him up.

Can you handle this?

Henry.

(HENRY GROANS)

Why are you hitting

yourself, Henry?

Hmm?

(THUDS)

ESTELLE: Baby?

Baby, are you okay?

AKAN: I love how protective

you are of me.

Mmm...

You owe me an apology.

For?

Doubting me.

I did have certain

apprehensions.

Then why'd you let me do it?

I was just entertaining my woman

and losing all of my men.

(GASPS)

Is everybody dead?

Yes.

Do you know when I realized

this was working?

When?

When Henry pulled me

into the escape pod,

trying to get me out of

the lab no matter what.

Who would've thought that pussy

is a hell of a motivator?

(SNIFFING) Ah.

(CHUCKLES)

We'll have a hundred of you tomorrow,

a thousand next week.

Each one's first

memory will be

his wife slipping a cheap

brass ring on his finger.

Every single one

of my soldiers

will wake willing to do anything

my brilliant wife tells him,

whether it's marching on Paris

or the White House lawn.

I would like to pretend you

understand the part you played.

You didn't make

history, Henry.

You helped end it.

Mmm...

(KISSES)

(CHUCKLES)

(CHOPPER BLADES WHIRRING)

MAN: You

little

pussy.

That's what my old man

called me.

It's like it was my name.

And I proved him right by

killing all the wrong people.

I love you, Henry,

and I'll never call you anything but

your name, but you gotta decide.

Are you gonna lay there,

swallow that blood in your mouth?

Or are you gonna stand up,

spit it out,

and go spill theirs?

(WIND WHOOSHING)

ESTELLE: Akan!

You fuck... (SCREAMS)

(SCREAMING)

(HENRY GRUNTS)

ESTELLE: No!

Stop!

I am ordering you to stop!

(GROANS)

ESTELLE: Henry!

Stop!

(SCREAMS)

Where is he?

No.

Fuck you, motherfucker!

Fuck you!

How could you do this

to me, Henry?

How could you

fucking do this?

Answer me!

Motherfucker!

(RICOCHET)

What happened, Henry?

You were supposed

to love me.

(SCREAMS)

Henry!

Listen to your heart!

(SHRIEKS)

JIMMY: Hello, Henry.

Well, if you're hearing this, there's

one more thing I need you to do.
