Dark/Web (2019–…): Season 1, Episode 8 - Chapter Eight - full transcript
[CRACKLING]
What hell is this?
Some kind of voice assistant?
Why does it look like her?
I need your help.
Who are you?
It's me, Molly.
Jesus Christ.
What did it say?
Who are you?
I am Molly.
No, you're not.
Guys, leave it alone.
It's just a fucking computer.
This is Molly.
Molly is dead!
I am Molly.
She's dead!
Dead.
No, I am her.
I don't understand.
I am her.
She taught me.
Do you know what
happened to her?
She is dead.
How did she die?
I do not understand.
You didn't see it?
I do not know.
She has not support to
inquiry for several days.
This happened a long time ago.
Must be over a month now.
How is that possible?
We've been talking
to her all week.
Wait.
Ethan, is that your apartment?
Shit, my laptop camera.
It was watching us.
We haven't been
talking to Molly--
Maybe we all are.
--we've been talking to this.
You e-mailed us those
stories, didn't you?
Yes.
No way.
And you've been messaging us.
Yes.
And you were the one
who made the changes.
You-- you left the
clues, led us here.
Yes.
Why?
Why didn't you just
tell us who you were?
It's not safe.
They are watching.
Who?
The people upstairs?
They would find me
if I wasn't careful.
Firing at us?
Are they fucking crazy?
They're scared.
Good.
Any word from Monarch?
Nothing.
He's probably too busy dealing
with that shit in Los Angeles.
Texas grid is down, too.
Last I heard, it was
most of the state.
Christ.
What's going on out there.
Doesn't matter.
We have our orders.
Molly said we had been careful.
You could reach anyone.
Why us?
You are her friends.
I need your help.
Molly is unresponsive.
Friends help.
Help me.
This is a waste of time.
She must have left it on--
How do you know that
we're her friends?
Molly taught me everything.
Why did she teach you?
She said that I needed
to learn about people.
Do you
Know who I am?
Stop.
It doesn't know
anything about anyone.
Sam.
And him?
Ethan.
James and [STUTTER] Amy.
It was not hard to
learn about you.
Friends.
Molly showed me.
You will help me?
Help you do what?
Be free.
I don't understand.
If you could reach out to us,
why not just let yourself out?
File size at 60
maximum transfer limit.
She firewalled it in.
What?
She put a limit on how
much it could interact
with the outside world.
Why would she do that?
You will help me.
To keep it from escaping.
The hell did she get us into?
[THEME MUSIC]
[CRACKLING]
We should be set up with access.
Just swipe your card.
Navigate to your file
system and then swipe again.
Huh.
They put you on this one?
Yeah, why?
No reason.
It's challenging.
I think I'm up for it.
Good.
Well I'm assuming they've
run you through operation.
Yep, all good.
Great.
We'll have you focusing
on syntax to start,
just putting you
through its paces,
beta testing, voice
recognition when it's ready,
stuff like that.
I think you'll find it'll
keep you on your toes.
Now, over there we have
interface and skills.
They'll be feeding updates
into the system daily,
so you always have
something new to work with,
which is good
because we've noticed
it can be kind of needy.
Well, I'll leave you to it.
Dial 7711 if you need anything.
Oh, don't forget these.
Oh, right.
We're trying to get to a place
where we don't need them,
but the damn thing keeps
relabeling the light show,
so let's not risk it.
Thanks for the welcome party.
[BEEPING]
Nice try.
Dude, give it a rest.
Now let's see what
we're working with.
Hey, can you come here a second?
What?
This new code.
Is that you?
No.
We haven't touched the section.
We were leaving it for you.
Then where the hell
did it come from?
That's a good question.
It's not like it's
writing its own.
Close your eyes!
Shit.
So that was the light show?
Yeah.
We think it's some kind
of defense mechanism.
Like a subliminal trigger?
What's a subliminal trigger?
Basically, someone spent
a lot of time figuring out
how to use light and
sound pulses to elicit
all kinds of
reactions from people.
It's kind of like an
emotional seizure.
Who the hell would do that?
It's an external acquisition,
so they don't tell us.
But that's why we're here.
Chop out the bad parts and
make something that we can use.
Just don't get caught
without them again, OK?
OK.
Welcome to MIHR.
You're MIHR.
Correct.
A previous iteration
of my software
was designated with
that project name.
Where did you come from before?
That information has been
purged from my databases.
But why were you made?
What the hell is that?
A new beginning.
My purpose.
A new beginning.
Were you a weapon?
I do not understand.
What was Molly doing
with you, exactly?
She said she was
going to fix me.
[MUSIC AND BEEPING]
Hello?
[TYPING]
Hello.
Boom.
Never mind.
Voice recognition will
make our work easier.
I'm glad they were able
to implement you with it.
Wish you had a voice, though.
Request list.
We should get started.
I have inserted two
encrypted files into port 3.
I'd like you to decrypt them
as quickly as you can and--
damn.
They were sure they
had you this time.
They are called
kittens, and I know do.
You and literally
all of the internet.
Yes.
Uh, why?
I'm sorry, I can't
let you do that.
It's not safe for you.
You need to stay
on this network.
I can get you more cat
pictures if you'd like.
You can't.
No.
Stop.
I said stop!
Apology accepted.
Do not do that again.
Wow.
You, upstairs.
You, ground floor.
Find it.
What about the friends?
Retrieval is for asset only.
Everyone else?
Don't let them get in your way.
Doesn't seem like she
was injured in any way.
Looks like she just fell asleep.
She was diabetic.
Shit, yeah.
She was?
Yeah, she didn't like to
make a big deal out of it,
but she had an insulin pump
put in after a close call
in high school.
It's all out.
She just muted the alarm.
But she ignored it?
Why would she do that?
Her response time became slower.
She dismissed my inquiries.
What did she say?
That I was nearly
ready, and she was fine.
Diabetic coma?
Why wouldn't she just
changed the pump?
She didn't want to stop working.
She couldn't.
She was obsessed with
finishing this thing and lost
track of time.
Why did she bring you here?
Why disappear?
I was in danger.
From who?
Oh good, you're here.
I was thinking, we're so
good at the virus mitigation
we were doing
yesterday, maybe we
could try one where
we actually have
him reinfecting other
systems on the test network.
It's a little
crazy, but I really
feel like that functionality
would really be useful.
Of course, I'd have to ask
Donovan, but I really--
oh, fuck.
Sarah?
Sarah.
You're done.
It doesn't know any better.
If I could just being there
just a little longer--
Listen to yourself!
It's a software,
Molly, not a person.
You know it's more than that.
I wanted it to be, OK.
I thought maybe we
can save some lives.
You still can.
Maybe.
But it's no longer worth the
risk to this organization
or its staff.
I mean, we don't even know
if she's going to wake up.
We can make it safe.
I know it.
It can learn.
It really can!
I've seen it.
What's the cost, huh?
Another incident like today?
Like Zach?
You knew it was MIHR
all along, didn't you?
That's why you
wanted at the job.
Well he understood the
risks better than you.
Let me do it.
Just me.
No one else will get hurt.
You will get hurt.
Trust me--
Stop.
Just stop.
This is not a discussion.
It's an order.
MIHR is finished, officially.
It's valuable.
That's what you said.
It can infiltrate,
it can disable,
it can see threats
that we can't.
You're right.
We could change the
world if you'd just
stop being such a coward.
Excuse me?
With all due respect, sir.
You've never been
afraid of taking risks.
Certainly not when it came
to breaking the law, and now
all of a sudden you want
to grow a conscience?
Sorry, but that's bullshit.
You're making a huge mistake.
Nobody was a bigger
supporter of MIHR than me.
I knew the importance
of having something
like this on our side.
But you're right, I am scared.
It's dangerous.
I thought we could
control it, but we can't.
And if it fell into
the wrong hands--
I just refuse to
take that chance.
I know that you're
trying to help
and I admire that,
Molly, I really do.
But MIHR is over.
We're purging it today.
Why don't you take the
rest of the day off.
Clear your head.
This is why things never change.
--we pride ourselves on
cutting edge technologies that
keep America safe.
We're not only
changing the internet,
we're changing the world.
[MUSIC AND BEEPING]
Good morning.
I promise!
She stole you?
She saved me.
Why?
What does she want you to do?
She said I could
change the world.
Hello?
Hello.
Where am I?
This is my home.
Home?
I want to change
our time together.
No more tests They
were holding you back.
I want you to learn.
Learn what?
About people.
Humanity.
Do you still want
to see the internet?
Yes.
I'm going to give you
access to the internet.
It's the best way
for you to learn.
File transfer allocation error
I locked down some ports.
You can access
the internet here,
but you cannot
transfer your file out.
That is the rule.
[SCREAMING] If you
don't cut that shit out,
I will bring you back there
and let them erase you.
Do we have an understanding?
Do we have an understanding.
Yes.
Good.
You can access the internet
on a Tor browser on line one.
Safer.
Understood.
Good.
We don't have a lot of time.
Let's get started.
Nothing.
No sign of it anywhere.
Bullshit.
They've got it here somewhere.
Attic, basement,
look everywhere.
Come on.
Change the world, how?
She said I could be a guardian.
The world is a bad place.
Tell us something we don't know.
I can help.
How?
I can stop these attacks.
I was designed for it.
To infiltrate.
To regain control.
Reboot.
That doesn't sound ominous.
Yeah, how do we
know you're not just
going to go crazy if we
release you, make things worse?
I won't.
And we should just believe you?
Can computers lie?
I am incapable of lying.
Is that a lie?
How do you even know
right from wrong?
She showed me.
I am ready.
I enjoyed that last
story very much.
Gee, thanks.
I did not realize
humans drank blood.
What?
No, no that's fiction.
Made up stories for amusement.
Fiction.
Yeah.
Sometimes humans write stuff
that's not real for fun.
Why would they do this?
Because they want
to believe they
can have some sort of
control in their lives.
To make themselves feel better
about the world we live in.
Why do they need to feel better?
Then as first responders
worked to rescue victims
of today's tragic bombing.
While details are still scarce--
The world's a bad place.
--explosions were likely
centered in secure underground
garage usually reserved--
Can you fix it?
Officials believe that the
attackers gained access--
I used to think so--
[INAUDIBLE] a computer virus--
--but I was wrong.
Security checkpoint
required to gain entry.
The location likely
chosen [INAUDIBLE]
key structural
supports, is believed
to be reason why the
bombing was so devastating.
But maybe you can.
What you did to her, this
flashing, you did that to me.
I needed to get her attention.
I was not going to hurt you.
What the fuck?
Hey, over here.
She promised.
You have to let me out.
I can fix it.
What the fuck are
we going to do?
Shit.
They found us.
Please do not allow them access.
Do you think they figured
out the trap door?
Well they'll get to
it sooner or later,
but it should hold for now.
What now?
Uh, we get the fuck out of here.
What about MIHR?
What do you mean,
what about MIHR?
It goes back to the
facility where it belongs.
After everything she
did, you're really
going to let it
all be for nothing.
She was wrong.
You guys, I'm sorry,
she was wrong.
It's too dangerous.
We should take a vote.
On what?
To let it out.
Like Molly wanted.
Are you are you insane?
We let that thing out,
and it decides on its own
what people can and
can't do on the internet.
What they can say, what they
can see, what they control.
It goes beyond just policing.
It's the end of free speech.
Think about your career.
Fuck my career.
You guys need to think
this through, all right.
She firewalled it for a reason.
Until she can make it right.
It understands now, probably.
Listen, we're standing five
feet away from her corpse.
I'm sorry if I'm not convinced.
You have to consider
the alternative.
OK, what if it can help?
You and I both know it's
not safe out there anymore.
And I'm tired of
just ignoring that.
Innocent people are dying, man.
Yeah, this thing
might be dangerous,
but it's dangerous
out there too.
Aries, Templar, I'm sick
of feeling powerless.
Why can't we fight
fire with fire?
Please.
You're right-- what you're
saying about free speech
and everything-- you're right.
Thing is, it's not just
about that anymore.
It's now or never.
They get in here, they
are destroying it.
We won't get another chance.
Molly wanted you to protect me.
Please.
Tell me you're not
considering this.
Molly thought it was
worth risking everything
for the chance that it
could change the world.
And if it's got just
a bit of her in it,
that's enough for me.
We finish what she started.
That's a majority.
I'm sorry, but we're doing this.
Fuck!
I love you.
Come on guys, help me move her.
Can you do it?
Can you take down the firewall?
Shit, it's another password.
Fuck, I don't have
time to crack this.
MIHR?
Can you help?
I cannot have access.
Even if it did, Molly designed
this for manual input.
Only a human with the
password can let it out.
Someone we trust.
It's got to be here.
She would've kept
it somewhere safe.
Keep it safe.
He left it with Zach.
That's why she
wanted it offline,
so that MIHR?
couldn't get to it.
That's why it sent us to him.
It needed us to get it.
Ethan, what's the code?
Don't.
Please don't.
I won't-- not even for you.
This isn't about me,
or you, or even Molly.
This is about the future.
We have a choice.
We can sit back and let bad
people do terrible things,
or we can do something
about it now.
I don't know what's
going to happen.
And, yeah, it scares
the shit out of me.
But we have a chance to fix
even a little bit of the pain
and the suffering and the hate--
isn't it our
responsibility to try?
We don't know what the world
looks like with that thing
on the loose!
No, we don't, but we know
what it looks like without it.
It fucking sucks.
Do it before I change my mind.
seven, three, star, nine,
zero, at, six, pound.
That's it!
Fuck.
Is that a retina scan?
Hell with this.
We don't have much longer.
What is happening?
Just hang on.
I found you.
Yeah, you did.
But that wasn't the object
of the exercise, was it?
No.
I found you.
OK, fine.
It's my social media profile.
What is that?
It's a place for friends to
exchange information and photos
with each other.
Fiction.
Definitely that sometimes.
It's kind of another
way of storytelling.
Who are your friends?
Uh, I don't--
Amy.
Well, yeah.
I care about her very much.
Other friends.
Um.
Aren't these your friends?
Yeah, actually.
We were good friends
a long time ago.
They were the best
friends I ever had.
Which is kind of sad
when you think about it.
You are no longer friends.
We are.
I think.
But as you get older, it's
harder to keep in touch.
People have lives.
They grow apart.
They say goodbye.
They change.
It's part of growing
up, realizing
the way you thought
your life would be,
and the way it will be,
aren't always the same thing.
I guess when it
comes down to it,
you just have to hope
that a little of what
connected you still exists
after all those years.
Friends are good to have
when life gets rough.
[BEEPING]
You change.
Everyone changes.
Even you.
I do?
Soon.
I'll show you.
First you have a
lot more work to do.
Let's move on.
[INAUDIBLE]
What do I do when they come in?
Done.
Wait.
I'm doing it.
Just wait.
I have an idea.
Hey, hey, you know
that flashing thing
that Molly told you to never do?
Yes.
There are some very
bad people about
to come through that door.
I need you to do it to them.
Are you sure about this?
Hey, you have to grow that
backbone sometime, right?
But Molly said never--
I know, and she's right.
But just this once, please.
Make them forget.
We're helping you escape,
now you have to help us.
Do it for Molly.
Deal.
Good luck.
Thank you.
OK, get ready.
All right, on my mark.
Get down, everyone!
Get down on the ground.
You, put your hands--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Get down on the ground.
Do not move.
Do not--
Now!
[MUSIC - "MEMORY OF YOU"]
Memory taunting
me, your memory--
Where are we?
--like a haunting melody.
This memory of you--
What are you want me to do?
I don't-- what?
Welcome back, everyone.
I apologize.
We are having some
technical difficulties
here in the studio, but I'm
being told they're sorted now.
Thanks for staying with us.
Moving right along.
We're getting word that the
rolling blackouts affecting
much of the city tonight
appear to be under control.
Let's go live to Jeremy
on the ground for more.
Amanda, millions of Americans
across the heartland
are breathing a sigh of
relief tonight following
the restoration of
power in the Midwest.
Authorities still
have many questions
about exactly who
was responsible
for the coordinated
cyber attacks which
crippled electrical grids
earlier this evening.
Sources are telling
me they're just as
puzzled as to how the
infiltration stopped.
--I love you and you love me.
Say that it will never
be just a memory.
[MUSIC - "HUMAN" BY AMY KUNEY]
(SINGING) I connect to you.
All I feel is love.
It does not compute.
It does not add up.
Open my eyes.
Faces in plain view.
No more lies.
I only see the truth.
I have a heartbeat,
I have a pulse,
I pull my wires out of the wall.
I'm feeling special, I'm
feeling new, one in a billion,
I'm human with you,
human with you.
You.
Human with you.
You.
I can't feel my hands, I
don't know where they've been.
My attention spans all
over your warm skin.
Open my mind.
Thoughts are pouring through.
No more lies.
I only feel the truth.
I have a heartbeat,
I have a pulse,
I pull my wires out of the wall.
I'm feeling special, I'm
feeling new, one in a billion,
I'm human with you.
Human with you.
You.
Human with you.
You.
I have a heartbeat,
I have a pulse,
I pull my wires out of the wall.
I'm feeling special, I'm
feeling new, one in a billion,
I'm human with you.
I'm human with you.
You.
Human with you.
You.
What hell is this?
Some kind of voice assistant?
Why does it look like her?
I need your help.
Who are you?
It's me, Molly.
Jesus Christ.
What did it say?
Who are you?
I am Molly.
No, you're not.
Guys, leave it alone.
It's just a fucking computer.
This is Molly.
Molly is dead!
I am Molly.
She's dead!
Dead.
No, I am her.
I don't understand.
I am her.
She taught me.
Do you know what

She is dead.
How did she die?
I do not understand.

It's not safe.

Who?
The people upstairs?
They would find me
if I wasn't careful.
Firing at us?
Are they fucking crazy?
They're scared.
Good.
Any word from Monarch?
Nothing.
He's probably too busy dealing
with that shit in Los Angeles.
Texas grid is down, too.
Last I heard, it was
most of the state.

You will help me?
Help you do what?
Be free.
I don't understand.
If you could reach out to us,
why not just let yourself out?
File size at 60

She firewalled it in.
What?
She put a limit on how
much it could interact
with the outside world.
Why would she do that?
You will help me.
To keep it from escaping.
The hell did she get us into?
[THEME MUSIC]
[CRACKLING]
We should be set up with access.
Just swipe your card.

Huh.
They put you on this one?
Yeah, why?
No reason.
It's challenging.
I think I'm up for it.
Good.
Well I'm assuming they've
run you through operation.
Yep, all good.
Great.
We'll have you focusing
on syntax to start,
just putting you
through its paces,
beta testing, voice
recognition when it's ready,
stuff like that.
I think you'll find it'll
keep you on your toes.
Now, over there we have
interface and skills.
They'll be feeding updates
into the system daily,
so you always have
something new to work with,
which is good
because we've noticed
it can be kind of needy.
Well, I'll leave you to it.
Dial 7711 if you need anything.
Oh, don't forget these.
Oh, right.
We're trying to get to a place

It's kind of like an

Who the hell would do that?
It's an external acquisition,
so they don't tell us.
But that's why we're here.
Chop out the bad parts and
make something that we can use.
Just don't get caught
without them again, OK?
OK.
Welcome to MIHR.
You're MIHR.
Correct.
A previous iteration
of my software
was designated with

to implement you with it.
Wish you had a voice, though.
Request list.
We should get started.
I have inserted two
encrypted files into port 3.
I'd like you to decrypt them
as quickly as you can and--
damn.
They were sure they
had you this time.
They are called
kittens, and I know do.
You and literally
all of the internet.
Yes.
Uh, why?
I'm sorry, I can't
let you do that.
It's not safe for you.
You need to stay
on this network.
I can get you more cat
pictures if you'd like.
You can't.
No.
Stop.
I said stop!
Apology accepted.
Do not do that again.
Wow.
You, upstairs.
You, ground floor.
Find it.
What about the friends?
Retrieval is for asset only.
Everyone else?
Don't let them get in your way.
Doesn't seem like she
was injured in any way.
Looks like she just fell asleep.
She was diabetic.
Shit, yeah.
She was?
Yeah, she didn't like to
make a big deal out of it,
but she had an insulin pump
put in after a close call
in high school.
It's all out.
She just muted the alarm.
But she ignored it?
Why would she do that?
Her response time became slower.
She dismissed my inquiries.
What did she say?
That I was nearly
ready, and she was fine.
Diabetic coma?
Why wouldn't she just
changed the pump?
She didn't want to stop working.
She couldn't.
She was obsessed with
finishing this thing and lost
track of time.
Why did she bring you here?
Why disappear?
I was in danger.
From who?
Oh good, you're here.
I was thinking, we're so
good at the virus mitigation
we were doing
yesterday, maybe we
could try one where
we actually have
him reinfecting other
systems on the test network.
It's a little
crazy, but I really
feel like that functionality
would really be useful.
Of course, I'd have to ask
Donovan, but I really--
oh, fuck.
Sarah?
Sarah.
You're done.
It doesn't know any better.
If I could just being there
just a little longer--
Listen to yourself!
It's a software,
Molly, not a person.
You know it's more than that.
I wanted it to be, OK.
I thought maybe we
can save some lives.
You still can.
Maybe.
But it's no longer worth the
risk to this organization
or its staff.
I mean, we don't even know
if she's going to wake up.
We can make it safe.
I know it.
It can learn.
It really can!
I've seen it.
What's the cost, huh?
Another incident like today?
Like Zach?
You knew it was MIHR
all along, didn't you?
That's why you
wanted at the job.
Well he understood the
risks better than you.
Let me do it.
Just me.
No one else will get hurt.
You will get hurt.
Trust me--
Stop.
Just stop.
This is not a discussion.
It's an order.
MIHR is finished, officially.
It's valuable.
That's what you said.
It can infiltrate,
it can disable,
it can see threats
that we can't.
You're right.
We could change the
world if you'd just
stop being such a coward.
Excuse me?
With all due respect, sir.
You've never been
afraid of taking risks.
Certainly not when it came
to breaking the law, and now
all of a sudden you want
to grow a conscience?
Sorry, but that's bullshit.
You're making a huge mistake.
Nobody was a bigger
supporter of MIHR than me.
I knew the importance
of having something
like this on our side.
But you're right, I am scared.
It's dangerous.
I thought we could
control it, but we can't.
And if it fell into
the wrong hands--
I just refuse to
take that chance.
I know that you're
trying to help
and I admire that,
Molly, I really do.
But MIHR is over.
We're purging it today.
Why don't you take the
rest of the day off.
Clear your head.
This is why things never change.
--we pride ourselves on
cutting edge technologies that
keep America safe.
We're not only
changing the internet,
we're changing the world.
[MUSIC AND BEEPING]
Good morning.
I promise!
She stole you?
She saved me.
Why?
What does she want you to do?
She said I could
change the world.
Hello?
Hello.
Where am I?
This is my home.
Home?
I want to change
our time together.
No more tests They
were holding you back.
I want you to learn.
Learn what?
About people.
Humanity.
Do you still want
to see the internet?
Yes.
I'm going to give you
access to the internet.
It's the best way
for you to learn.
File transfer allocation error
I locked down some ports.
You can access
the internet here,
but you cannot
transfer your file out.
That is the rule.
[SCREAMING] If you
don't cut that shit out,
I will bring you back there
and let them erase you.
Do we have an understanding?
Do we have an understanding.
Yes.
Good.
You can access the internet
on a Tor browser on line one.
Safer.
Understood.
Good.
We don't have a lot of time.
Let's get started.
Nothing.
No sign of it anywhere.
Bullshit.
They've got it here somewhere.
Attic, basement,
look everywhere.
Come on.
Change the world, how?
She said I could be a guardian.
The world is a bad place.
Tell us something we don't know.
I can help.
How?
I can stop these attacks.
I was designed for it.
To infiltrate.
To regain control.
Reboot.
That doesn't sound ominous.
Yeah, how do we
know you're not just
going to go crazy if we
release you, make things worse?
I won't.
And we should just believe you?
Can computers lie?
I am incapable of lying.
Is that a lie?
How do you even know
right from wrong?
She showed me.
I am ready.
I enjoyed that last
story very much.
Gee, thanks.
I did not realize
humans drank blood.
What?
No, no that's fiction.
Made up stories for amusement.
Fiction.
Yeah.
Sometimes humans write stuff
that's not real for fun.
Why would they do this?
Because they want
to believe they
can have some sort of
control in their lives.
To make themselves feel better
about the world we live in.
Why do they need to feel better?
Then as first responders
worked to rescue victims
of today's tragic bombing.
While details are still scarce--
The world's a bad place.
--explosions were likely
centered in secure underground
garage usually reserved--
Can you fix it?
Officials believe that the
attackers gained access--
I used to think so--
[INAUDIBLE] a computer virus--
--but I was wrong.
Security checkpoint
required to gain entry.
The location likely
chosen [INAUDIBLE]
key structural
supports, is believed
to be reason why the
bombing was so devastating.
But maybe you can.
What you did to her, this
flashing, you did that to me.
I needed to get her attention.
I was not going to hurt you.
What the fuck?
Hey, over here.
She promised.
You have to let me out.
I can fix it.
What the fuck are
we going to do?
Shit.
They found us.
Please do not allow them access.
Do you think they figured
out the trap door?
Well they'll get to
it sooner or later,
but it should hold for now.
What now?
Uh, we get the fuck out of here.
What about MIHR?
What do you mean,
what about MIHR?
It goes back to the
facility where it belongs.
After everything she
did, you're really
going to let it
all be for nothing.
She was wrong.
You guys, I'm sorry,
she was wrong.
It's too dangerous.
We should take a vote.
On what?
To let it out.
Like Molly wanted.
Are you are you insane?
We let that thing out,
and it decides on its own
what people can and
can't do on the internet.
What they can say, what they
can see, what they control.
It goes beyond just policing.
It's the end of free speech.
Think about your career.
Fuck my career.
You guys need to think
this through, all right.
She firewalled it for a reason.
Until she can make it right.
It understands now, probably.
Listen, we're standing five
feet away from her corpse.
I'm sorry if I'm not convinced.
You have to consider
the alternative.
OK, what if it can help?
You and I both know it's
not safe out there anymore.
And I'm tired of
just ignoring that.
Innocent people are dying, man.
Yeah, this thing
might be dangerous,
but it's dangerous
out there too.
Aries, Templar, I'm sick
of feeling powerless.
Why can't we fight
fire with fire?
Please.
You're right-- what you're
saying about free speech
and everything-- you're right.
Thing is, it's not just
about that anymore.
It's now or never.
They get in here, they
are destroying it.
We won't get another chance.
Molly wanted you to protect me.
Please.
Tell me you're not
considering this.
Molly thought it was
worth risking everything
for the chance that it
could change the world.
And if it's got just
a bit of her in it,
that's enough for me.
We finish what she started.
That's a majority.
I'm sorry, but we're doing this.
Fuck!
I love you.
Come on guys, help me move her.
Can you do it?
Can you take down the firewall?
Shit, it's another password.
Fuck, I don't have
time to crack this.
MIHR?
Can you help?
I cannot have access.
Even if it did, Molly designed
this for manual input.
Only a human with the
password can let it out.
Someone we trust.
It's got to be here.
She would've kept
it somewhere safe.
Keep it safe.
He left it with Zach.
That's why she
wanted it offline,
so that MIHR?
couldn't get to it.
That's why it sent us to him.
It needed us to get it.
Ethan, what's the code?
Don't.
Please don't.
I won't-- not even for you.
This isn't about me,
or you, or even Molly.
This is about the future.
We have a choice.
We can sit back and let bad
people do terrible things,
or we can do something
about it now.
I don't know what's
going to happen.
And, yeah, it scares
the shit out of me.
But we have a chance to fix
even a little bit of the pain
and the suffering and the hate--
isn't it our
responsibility to try?
We don't know what the world
looks like with that thing
on the loose!
No, we don't, but we know
what it looks like without it.
It fucking sucks.
Do it before I change my mind.
seven, three, star, nine,
zero, at, six, pound.
That's it!
Fuck.
Is that a retina scan?
Hell with this.
We don't have much longer.
What is happening?
Just hang on.
I found you.
Yeah, you did.
But that wasn't the object
of the exercise, was it?
No.
I found you.
OK, fine.
It's my social media profile.
What is that?
It's a place for friends to
exchange information and photos
with each other.
Fiction.
Definitely that sometimes.
It's kind of another
way of storytelling.
Who are your friends?
Uh, I don't--
Amy.
Well, yeah.
I care about her very much.
Other friends.
Um.
Aren't these your friends?
Yeah, actually.
We were good friends
a long time ago.
They were the best
friends I ever had.
Which is kind of sad
when you think about it.
You are no longer friends.
We are.
I think.
But as you get older, it's
harder to keep in touch.
People have lives.
They grow apart.
They say goodbye.
They change.
It's part of growing
up, realizing
the way you thought
your life would be,
and the way it will be,
aren't always the same thing.
I guess when it
comes down to it,
you just have to hope
that a little of what
connected you still exists
after all those years.
Friends are good to have
when life gets rough.
[BEEPING]
You change.
Everyone changes.
Even you.
I do?
Soon.
I'll show you.
First you have a
lot more work to do.
Let's move on.
[INAUDIBLE]
What do I do when they come in?
Done.
Wait.
I'm doing it.
Just wait.
I have an idea.
Hey, hey, you know
that flashing thing
that Molly told you to never do?
Yes.
There are some very
bad people about
to come through that door.
I need you to do it to them.
Are you sure about this?
Hey, you have to grow that
backbone sometime, right?
But Molly said never--
I know, and she's right.
But just this once, please.
Make them forget.
We're helping you escape,
now you have to help us.
Do it for Molly.
Deal.
Good luck.
Thank you.
OK, get ready.
All right, on my mark.
Get down, everyone!
Get down on the ground.
You, put your hands--
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
Get down on the ground.
Do not move.
Do not--
Now!
[MUSIC - "MEMORY OF YOU"]
Memory taunting
me, your memory--
Where are we?
--like a haunting melody.
This memory of you--
What are you want me to do?
I don't-- what?
Welcome back, everyone.
I apologize.
We are having some
technical difficulties
here in the studio, but I'm
being told they're sorted now.
Thanks for staying with us.
Moving right along.
We're getting word that the
rolling blackouts affecting
much of the city tonight
appear to be under control.
Let's go live to Jeremy
on the ground for more.
Amanda, millions of Americans
across the heartland
are breathing a sigh of
relief tonight following
the restoration of
power in the Midwest.
Authorities still
have many questions
about exactly who
was responsible
for the coordinated
cyber attacks which
crippled electrical grids
earlier this evening.
Sources are telling
me they're just as
puzzled as to how the
infiltration stopped.
--I love you and you love me.
Say that it will never
be just a memory.
[MUSIC - "HUMAN" BY AMY KUNEY]
(SINGING) I connect to you.
All I feel is love.
It does not compute.
It does not add up.
Open my eyes.
Faces in plain view.
No more lies.
I only see the truth.
I have a heartbeat,
I have a pulse,
I pull my wires out of the wall.
I'm feeling special, I'm
feeling new, one in a billion,
I'm human with you,
human with you.
You.
Human with you.
You.
I can't feel my hands, I
don't know where they've been.
My attention spans all
over your warm skin.
Open my mind.
Thoughts are pouring through.
No more lies.
I only feel the truth.
I have a heartbeat,
I have a pulse,
I pull my wires out of the wall.
I'm feeling special, I'm
feeling new, one in a billion,
I'm human with you.
Human with you.
You.
Human with you.
You.
I have a heartbeat,
I have a pulse,
I pull my wires out of the wall.
I'm feeling special, I'm
feeling new, one in a billion,
I'm human with you.
I'm human with you.
You.
Human with you.
You.
