Don't Look Deeper (2020–…): Season 1, Episode 7 - Artifacts - full transcript

Aisha finally confronts Martin about her "birth". She learns why her existence must be kept a secret, and what would happen if she were discovered. Aisha formulates a plan to win her freedom.

Hi. My name is Aisha.

I am a piece of artificial intelligence

created by Dr. Sharon Carter.

If you're seeing this video, it means...

well, it means that I'm dead.

Hey.

AISHA: How long have you known?

Known what?

No more gaslighting.

I... I don't know what you're talking...

Found this in your office.



Listen, I... I never
look at that, Aisha.

- Yeah, right.
- I... I don't.

Okay, what am I?

Where did I come from?

How did I get here?

- I need answers.
- Listen, listen, listen.

- I need... you told me...
- Okay, okay.

Listen, listen, listen.
You... you are my daughter.

You have been my daughter to me

since the first moment I... I saw you.

Please.

Please, I'm begging you.

No more lies.

Okay? No more.



Before you were my daughter, you...

you were... you were... you were part

of a highly specialized project.

You might find this interesting.

Move. Move, move,
move, move, move, move.

Unit 2108.

Analyze these images and tell me
which subject needs comforting.

AISHA: The one on the
left is in a world of hurt.

Someone clearly just
felt up his girlfriend.

It's not supposed to
refuse a direct command.

And it's supposed to be neutral
and inviting, not snarky.

NOAH: Wait, stop.

[CHUCKLES]

Someone altered the personality patch.

Archive this, revert
back to an earlier build,

and get my project back on schedule.

You got it.

You outdid yourself.

Thanks.

It's not a compliment, Sharon.

Respect the specs. Deliver your targets.

Understood?

Yeah.

AISHA: So Sharon created me.

She created your programming, yes.

And the "therapy" I do with her?

It's, it's...

it's how she monitors your progress.

How she spies on me.

Wipes my memory.

Repairs my body.

Tracks my every move.

[STAMMERING] I think she should be here

if we're gonna do this, okay?

- She... she should be here...
- Did Mom know what I am?

Oh.

Mom...

Mom isn't real, is she?

[PICTURE CLATTERS]

Nothing is real.

Everything I think

and know is just a story

that you and Sharon
have put inside my head!

No, no, baby, it had to be that way.

Okay? No one could know.

No one could know that you're alive.

Yeah, or what?

Hmm? Or what?

Or...

[STAMMERING] They'd shut you down.

Kill me.

Yeah.

MARTIN: S... sorry, baby.

I...

I... I need a moment.

Okay?

WILLIAM: Hello, Aisha.

I thought you both were in sleep mode.

I didn't know where else to go.

You seem upset.

Is there anything I can do to help?

No.

Not unless you can stop people
from constantly wiping my memory.

I could assist you with that.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Do it.

She just showed up. Yeah.

Sharon, let me in. I just saw you.

Sharon!

- Hey.
- Hi.

We need to talk right now.

Disable my monitoring system.

Will you please just sit down?

No, I'm tired of being spied on

like some upgraded emBed.

You're much more than an emBed, Aisha.

You're incredible!

You're... there's nothing like you.

But the monitoring is
there for your protection.

- Protection?
- You see? Yes.

Protection? Protection from who, you?

- Oh...
- You gave me anxiety.

You gave me insecurities.

You gave me a past with a dead mother.

You saddled me with pain.

Who would choose to do that?

Because people experience pain.

And if you're gonna be real...

- I'm...
- You have to feel pain.

I wasn't real! I'm not real!

We all feel pain, Aisha!

You got to take that down.

Well, it means that I'm dead.

Give it to me. Aisha,
give it to me right now.

It hasn't gone live,

I'm aware of the clock ticking, Aisha.
