Extant (2014–2015): Season 1, Episode 8 - Incursion - full transcript
When Molly learns that her baby is alive, she sets out with Kern and Kryger to devise a plan to intercept the baby before Sparks and Yasumoto can relocate him. Meanwhile, John struggles to keep up with Ethan's rapid development.
Molly: I went to space on
a 13-month solo mission.
I didn't come home alone.
My husband created a lifelike
android called a Humanich.
His name is Ethan. He's the prototype.
This is a story about Earth.
Ethan!
A story about family.
A story about surviving.
Previously on Extant...
John:
Ethan suddenly speaks Japanese.
(speaks Japanese) wow.
Human beings can't learn a language
in a single day, so Ethan
shouldn't be able to, either.
I think we should install
some sort of governing mechanism.
But that goes against
everything you've ever said.
You're good.
I'm Odin.
- You want to come in?
- Next time.
Odin: We have lost our
souls to machines.
We need a reckoning.
Starting right here.
(groans)
Sparks:
With your prints,
he stole the aruna transmission file.
Dad, I'm gonna die up here.
Molly:
What kind of father
sends his daughter
into harm's way like that, Alan?
Katie:
Dad?
Katie.
What do you want?
I want to know where my baby is.
I'll find it.
Guard:
Security breach. Code Black.
Molly Woods is in the building.
Have security forces been mobilized?
Yes.
(shouts, grunts)
(shouts) shh!
It's me.
You can go with them or you can
come with me. Your choice.
- Kryger?
- Go, go, go.
(tires screeching)
Gina, Oasis Mode. Windows on Seclude.
How do you know they didn't follow us here?
Because I'd know if we were seen, and it's
my job to activate a team to follow you.
No, we got away clean.
We're safe here. You can trust me.
You want me to trust you?
Tell me everything. The truth.
When Sparks came to pick
you up from your party,
you were right to run to Vaspar.
He was bringing you in
to extract the Offspring.
- The Offspring?
- That's what we call it.
When you fled, we had to improvise.
Sparks may seem like the man in charge,
but I think there's somebody
else who's pulling the strings,
somebody outside the ISEA.
- Who?
- I don't know.
But whoever he is, he
outfitted the hospital ship
with a surgical team.
They erased all the evidence
of your pregnancy, and then
they put you back on the island.
And Ethan?
He was used to lure you into the woods.
And the baby? It's alive?
It's a he.

(knocking)
(music stops)
You're lucky, Odin.
I don't usually let in handsome
foreigners until after 2:00.
John?
- Why did you do it?
- Do what?
Reset Ethan's access protocols.
- What are you talking about?
- You've been against
the idea of installing
governors I-in Ethan
since I brought it up.
Now all of a sudden I can't get in?
Wait. So, you actually
tried to slow him down
and he blocked your access?
No, no, no, no. You blocked my access.
Okay, I may not agree with
intentionally limiting
his natural development,
but I would not go behind
your back to stop you.
Wow.
I guess you thought I would.
But h-how would he even do it?
I mean, we-we built in safeguards
to prevent him from interfering
with the coding process.
I don't know. Why would the
most advanced AI on the planet
stop you from hobbling his mind?
I didn't mean to...
Are you alone?
What if I'm not?
- I should go.
- Yeah.
KERN: He's in an artificial womb
about 20 floors below where
you were poking around.
It's not gonna be a baby
for long; it's growing fast.
They're treating an alien
intelligence far beyond
our comprehension like a lab rat.
Molly, I know what you're thinking.
You are not its mother; you were its host.
He sent me a message tonight.
He scattered a flock of birds
in-in the shape of the pattern.
It's trying to speak to us.
And it wants to communicate through you.
KRYGER: I'm sorry.
It made me flush my mother into space.
It ain't the baby Jesus.
Whatever he is, I brought him here.
And I'm gonna get him out.
KERN: You think you're getting back
into that building after
what happened today?
It's impossible.
If Sparks is running a rogue operation,
just go to the ISEA and tell them.
Tell them what?
Without proof of the baby, we got nothing.
We have the Aruna file.
They killed Derek Pearce
because I sent him an e-mail.
What do you think will
happen if I go in there with
just my story and the Aruna file?
What choice do we have, huh?
Sparks reports to the board.
You walk into the morning
meeting, you play them the file.
- They can't all be in on it.
- And what if
Sparks buries the truth of
the baby before they see it?
They're never gonna know what he did.
But it'll be over. And we'll be safe.
Hey, hold up.
You don't believe this, do you?
That this-this thing is trying
to communicate with Molly?
It chose her for a reason.
But the way it's being treated,
that may change everything.
I was an Air Force MP all the
way through Second Korea.
I was stationed in all kinds of hellholes
across this rock, and there is one thing
that has never changed: If
you lock someone in a box
who doesn't belong there,
he's got a lot to say when
you finally let him out.
Sparks is going about this the wrong way.
He's gonna get a lot of people hurt.
You don't have to convince me.
I almost got my ticket punched.
- I never intended on killing you.
- Well, you could've fooled me.
No one's stopping you from walking.
And leave you alone with Molly? Hell no.
Right now, she is the only
friend I have on this planet.
And this whole switching sides
thing seems rather convenient.
Maybe I stick around to make
sure you don't pull another 180.
Your call.
But you can trust me.
No offense, but the only person
I trust is me at this point.
(whirring)
Claypool has been compromised.
Molly Woods breached the upper
floor and managed to escape.
How is this possible?
I don't know.
But with her getting this close,
I believe the entire operation is at risk.
I also believe that it's
time to eliminate that risk.
For so long, you've wanted
to protect her, and now...
Molly's a very smart woman.
She's a viable threat to the Offspring.
But she is its mother.
There could be consequences
if we eliminate her.
We must ensure its continued growth.
Even at the risk of being discovered?
It's a risk we must manage.
I'm dying, Alan.
The substance that sustains
me has nearly been exhausted.
Despite my best efforts, I
have failed to reproduce it.
We could do another mission.
We could learn from the
mistakes we made with the Aruna.
Why send another mining
expedition when we have
in our possession perhaps
something more valuable?
Billions were spent locating
the source of the substance,
and we encounter the
entity in the same location?
It can't be coincidence.
It's all the more reason to protect it.
Yes, there are many reasons.
You yourself have one.
Sir?
I've seen the surveillance footage.
At first, it was difficult to understand
what was happening.
But it became clear you
were able to see Katie.
That she had come back to life for you.
What a wonderful gift you've been given.
What is it like?
A miracle.
I can only imagine.
I need the Offspring to stay alive.
You need it to have a reason to live.
What would you like for me to do, sir?
Relocate the Offspring to the
contingency site immediately.
But Molly Woods is not to be harmed.
When we know the Offspring
has no use for its mother,
you can do what you wish.
Place call.
(soft chime)
Anya Sparks.
Alan? Alan, what's wrong?
Nothing. I just needed to talk.
Oh, you know, it's-it's late.
It's just, I was thinking of Katie.
You're the only one in
the world who understands.
I understand that calling me
makes you feel better. I do.
But it just makes me feel worse.
If Katie was...
We'd still be together.
A family.
But she's not.
That's not gonna change.
Good night, Alan.
♪
You sure you don't want me to come with you
- to the board meeting?
- Nope.
I've worked for the ISEA for
almost 20 years now, and...
you know, what we have should be enough.
I'm sorry, Molly.
It wasn't just the baby they took from you.
They took everything.
Space. The stars.
Not everything.
(quiet laugh)
Yes.
We still have breakfast.
I got your message about Ethan's governors.
I think you're making a mistake.
Well, it's a moot point. He locked me out.
I don't understand.
Well, that makes two of us.
I've lost all access to Ethan's neuralnet.
How is that even possible?
I have no idea.
Ethan. Breakfast.
I checked his room. He's not up there.
Thought he was down here.
No?
Ethan?
His bike is gone.
- Where's he going?
- He's at the park. I'll get him.
You go do what you got to do.
Okay.
♪
Check this out.
(beeping)
(boys laughing)
- Ah, yeah.
- All right.
Yeah!
Nice bike.
Thanks. My dad gave it to me.
You live around here?
No. I live a few miles that way. Oh,
so you came here to give us your bike?
No. I came to ride. I like to ride.
Hope you like to walk, loser.
Hey!
(short cackle)
You want some more?
Ethan.
Hey. Thank God. What happened?
Let me see.
Did you fall off the bike?
No.
Then what?
I told you last night...
you can't just go riding off
on your own like that.
What were you thinking?
I don't know.
I just wanted to explore.
We need to get you back to the lab.
Come on.
Damage detected.
Please contact the nearest
maintenance facility
at your earliest convenience.
I want to take him home.
It's a busted-up sweeper
bot. It doesn't work anymore.
I want to take it.
KERN: By the time I got to
Claypool, the team had already
let her slip away.
They executed the containment scenario.
She just got the better of us.
We're abandoning Claypool.
- Sir?
- Tonight.
We're moving the Offspring
to the contingency site.
The teams know what to do.
Yes, sir.
And, Gordon...
taking into account last night's break-in,
our investor would like that
security threat eliminated
before we move the Offspring.
I thought you convinced him
that she might be necessary.
She crossed the line.
We can't take any more chances.
Come with me.
They're moving the Offspring.
We don't have to go in.
They're bringing it out.
Tonight.
We can get him?
The truck carrying the mobile incubator
will be heavily guarded.
But if all goes to plan...
if we can pull this off...
we'll have a few hours
to get the Offspring to the ISEA.
I'm sorry, but the word "Offspring" just...
It-it feels so...
Alien.
Look, I don't know how we...
astronauts
are gonna pull off a truck heist without...
There's a vulnerability in
Claypool's infrastructure.
I'll detonate an explosive
on the main transformer
as soon as the Offspring
truck is clear of the building.
With the power cut,
the system will drop the garage
gates to protect the building.
We can then split the truck
off from its security convoy.
- Okay, what about the guys driving the trucks?
- We'll neutralize them.
Oh, we're neutralizing now, are we?
We're not. I am.
Can you drive a truck?
Yeah.
Then worry about that.
The rest is on me.
No, well, we're all at risk here.
Sparks gave me an order to
kill you before they move it.
This is our only chance.
Okay, Rabbit, let's fix you.
So, they just grabbed
your bike for no reason?
I could have stopped
them if I was stronger.
Don't move.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
It was two against one.
I should be stronger.
SERVICE BOT: Damage detected.
Please contact the nearest
maintenance facility
at your earliest convenience.
(whirring)
They were hurting the bot.
Seriously, if you keep moving,
I'm gonna turn your mouth off.
Can you help me fix him?
Got my hands full fixing you.
Are they gonna throw him away?
He looks pretty beat up.
I don't think he's able to
perform his function anymore.
What's my function?
We made you...
so that you could find your own function.
That's why you're special.
Nobody wakes up on this
planet and knows their purpose.
But I'm sure you'll find yours.
He's come a long way since then.
(sighs)
I'm sorry.
For accusing me of
locking you out of Ethan,
or for barging into my apartment
in the middle of the night?
You choose.
You shouldn't fret
over Ethan rebelling
against his programmer.
You wanted a kid, you got one.
It doesn't concern you
we no longer have access
to his programming?
I can't speak to your concerns as a parent,
but... we set out
to create a machine that
approximated a human,
and he just asked me what his function is.
Ethan is questioning
his own existence, John.
It doesn't get much more human than that.
Hey, sorry I missed the facial lesions.
John said Little Man was a trooper.
He was much more than that.
He's changing, Charlie.
He's thinking about things...
not just processing, but thinking.
- (laughs)
- Hooray! We're making a neurotic.
That seems like cause for celebration.
You want to get a drink,
or we can eat some food?
You eat? Of course you
eat. I mean, you hungry?
Look at me: I'm thinking.
I'm actually meeting someone.
- Orion?
- Odin.
You've been spending a lot of time
with this all-father of the gods.
What do you actually know about this guy?
I know he minds his own business.
Yeah, but I bet if you ran a search on him,
Mr. Perfect wouldn't seem so perfect.
You ran a search on him?
I mean, if I did, I'd just
be looking out for you.
If you did, it wouldn't feel that way.
What's happening in there?
My transport team was
prepping for extraction when
the incubator developed a leak.
The cloud appears to
be generating on its own
from inside the containment chamber.
Get inside and find out what's going on.
(mechanical hissing)
(device beeps)
Engage manual override.
(chirping)
(whooshing)
(door whooshes shut)
I'm a few steps in.
Visibility is limited.
The source of the leak is
not immediately apparent.
It's a particulate emission of some sort.
There's a similar substance
adhering to the walls.
I've got a sample.
I'm moving towards the tank.
It's definitely the source.
I can't make out the leak.
Sir, you're not going to believe this.
(alarm blaring)
What's happening?
Offspring heart rate
dropping. Respiration, too.
Revive team, move in!
Revive team, hold.
Heart rate right at 60 BPM.
Davis, report.
Davis?
Did we lose comms?
No, sir. Comms are good.
Davis isn't responding.
Dr. Davis? Dr. Davis?
(door opens)
We have a problem.
SERVICE BOT: I appear to be outside
my designated service area.
Turn the lights on, will you?
Why can't we fix him now?
It's bedtime.
I'm not tired. I want to fix him.
It's not up to you, Ethan.
We'll fix him in the morning.
I appear to be outside my
designated service area.
Please...
Why'd you do that? He needs our help.
Lights. Inside.
Molly: Okay, five minutes.
KRYGER: You ever hijack a truck?
No.
But I have docked a spaceship.
Same diff.
They called off everything.
- They're not moving the Offspring.
- Why?
Something happened to
it, or is happening to it,
but they never got it to the mobile unit.
Okay, now what?
We're scrubbing this.
No! It can't be over!
You heard the man. We're
finished, we're done.
No, we're not.
Maybe I can get you down there.
What?
I'm sorry, didn't you
say that was impossible?
We still have a Honey Bomb
on the main transformer.
I can blow it.
I can use the threat to clear the lab.
Let's just shoot each other here
a-and save them the trouble. Let's...
Just let him talk. The IR defenses
will go dark on the outside.
I can override a service door.
The first floor camera
system reboots in sectors,
from the outside in.
If you can stay ahead of the reboot,
you'll be able to move undetected
to the central elevator
that serves the lab.
It runs on its own power.
And you won't be able to call
it if you're not authorized,
so I'll get to security,
I'll send it up.
No way. This is suicide.
Even if we do get down
there, how are we gonna
bring the Offspring up?
Tupperware?
We're not bringing it up, are we?
I need to see him.
I need to know what
he's trying to say to me.
You don't have to go.
Molly, you remember what it
did to both of us up there.
Do you really...
do you really want to
go through that again?
I can't walk away now.
Screw it.
Screw it, I'm already dead.
If you go, I go.
Okay. Good.
I need a minute, okay?
Molly?
Take your shoes off and
go get ready for bed.
We'll be in to check on you in a minute.
Molly?
Gina, lock up for the night, please.
Gina: Doors locked.
- Hey, shoes.
- Why?
- It's been a long day, Ethan.
- You want me to take
my shoes off because it's been a long day?
I want you to take your shoes
off because they're muddy, okay?
Molly?
(chiming)
John, I'm sorry this is a message,
but if I heard your voice, I
don't think I could say this.
I can't let it go.
I don't expect you to understand that.
Molly?
Molly: But if I don't come back,
in time, I hope that
you'll realize that I didn't
have a choice.
And please don't come after me.
I don't want to risk Ethan
losing both of us.
I love you.
Bye.
Gina: Incoming V-Chron from Molly.
John, I'm sorry this is a message.
But if I don't come back,
in time, I hope that you'll realize
that I didn't have a choice.
And don't come after
me. I don't want to risk
Ethan losing both of us.
I love you.
Bye.
Let's do it.
Thanks for coming on such short notice.
We had just finished
dinner when you called.
Uh, I hope you don't mind. This...
Odin,
- John. John, Odin.
- John: Hey.
Uh... hey, sorry if I ruined your plans.
Not at all. Glad we could help out.
What's going on?
Uh... it's, uh... Molly.
I-I... I think she's in a tough situation.
It's okay. Go. Do what you need to do.
If anything suspicious happens,
just call the police, okay?
- Uh, okay.
- Ethan: Dad?
Hey.
There's nothing to worry about.
Julie and her friend are gonna stay here
till I come back, okay?
Is this about Mom?
No. No. Don't worry.
Just-just go back to bed.
Hey.
It'll be okay.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
Hey. Remember Odin?
Molly: Here, put this on.
- What's happening?
- The camera Kern mounted picks up
their infrared security.
All seems quiet.
(beeping)
Security's down.
Let's go.
What the hell is going on?
(alarm blaring)
20 seconds to sector two.
My guys say the main power
transformer overloaded
- and exploded.
- Check it out.
I want to know exactly what happened.
And find me Kern.
(alarm continues blaring)
(whirring)
Here we go. Sector one's back.
Emergency protocol. This is not a drill.
We have five minutes to evacuate.
Sir.
Director Sparks needs to see you right now.
(alarm continues blaring)
(urgent chatter)
- I'm gonna take him.
- Stick to the plan.
Nowak, get upstairs.
Where have you been?
Dealing with Molly Woods.
She's been taken care of.
- It's not here.
- We can't wait.
Come on. Wait, wait,
wait. What are you doing?
Getting us a ride. I have his prints.
How do you know the room is clear?
Would you rather stay here?
KERN: Fire's spreading.
You should evacuate with the others.
I'm not leaving.
If this fire gets out of
control, we're gonna want
to put as much space between us and this
before the hook and ladders show up.
KRYGER: You okay?
Yeah.
Are you sure you're
ready to meet this thing?
I'm ready.
Thanks for coming with me.
Just remember not to trust
anything you see down there.
You won't know what's real or not.
Don't worry. I'm real.
Sir, we need to move.
Okay, let's go.
(elevator bell dings)
I thought we were evacuating.
Who's coming down?
Gordon Kern.
We're not going anywhere.
(elevator humming)
(elevator stops)
They cut the power.
Kern.
We're out of here.
He doesn't move.
I trusted you, Gordon.
You're making a huge mistake.
Perhaps.
But you made an even greater one.
Fan out. This is your target.
Here, take my hand!
(whooshing outside)

(gunfire)
Are you okay?
Yeah.
What the hell's going on down there?
Oh, my God.

(gunfire)
- Why...?
- I'm s... I'm sorry, Molly.
I couldn't let that thing live.
Where is it?
Where did it go?
KERN: Molly, if you can hear
this, get the hell out!
Molly?
I didn't want it to end like this.
I lost Katie once.
I can't lose her again.
No. No.
I'm sorry, Molly.
- No...

No.
Oh, no, no, no, no.

No, wait, Katie.
Oh, Katie. Oh...

If Sparks is running a rogue operation,
just go to the ISEA and tell them.
Tell them what?
Without proof of the baby, we got nothing.
We have the Aruna file.
They killed Derek Pearce
because I sent him an e-mail.
What do you think will
happen if I go in there with
just my story and the Aruna file?
What choice do we have, huh?
Sparks reports to the board.
You walk into the morning
meeting, you play them the file.
- They can't all be in on it.
- And what if
Sparks buries the truth of
the baby before they see it?
They're never gonna know what he did.
But it'll be over. And we'll be safe.
Hey, hold up.
You don't believe this, do you?
That this-this thing is trying
to communicate with Molly?
It chose her for a reason.
But the way it's being treated,
that may change everything.
I was an Air Force MP all the
way through Second Korea.
I was stationed in all kinds of hellholes
across this rock, and there is one thing
that has never changed: If
you lock someone in a box
who doesn't belong there,
he's got a lot to say when
you finally let him out.
Sparks is going about this the wrong way.
He's gonna get a lot of people hurt.
You don't have to convince me.
I almost got my ticket punched.
- I never intended on killing you.
- Well, you could've fooled me.
No one's stopping you from walking.
And leave you alone with Molly? Hell no.
Right now, she is the only
friend I have on this planet.
And this whole switching sides
thing seems rather convenient.
Maybe I stick around to make
sure you don't pull another 180.
Your call.
But you can trust me.
No offense, but the only person
I trust is me at this point.
(whirring)
Claypool has been compromised.
Molly Woods breached the upper
floor and managed to escape.
How is this possible?
I don't know.
But with her getting this close,
I believe the entire operation is at risk.
I also believe that it's
time to eliminate that risk.
For so long, you've wanted
to protect her, and now...
Molly's a very smart woman.
She's a viable threat to the Offspring.
But she is its mother.
There could be consequences
if we eliminate her.
We must ensure its continued growth.
Even at the risk of being discovered?
It's a risk we must manage.
I'm dying, Alan.
The substance that sustains
me has nearly been exhausted.
Despite my best efforts, I
have failed to reproduce it.
We could do another mission.
We could learn from the
mistakes we made with the Aruna.
Why send another mining
expedition when we have
in our possession perhaps
something more valuable?
Billions were spent locating
the source of the substance,
and we encounter the
entity in the same location?
It can't be coincidence.
It's all the more reason to protect it.
Yes, there are many reasons.
You yourself have one.
Sir?
I've seen the surveillance footage.
At first, it was difficult to understand
what was happening.
But it became clear you
were able to see Katie.
That she had come back to life for you.
What a wonderful gift you've been given.
What is it like?
A miracle.
I can only imagine.
I need the Offspring to stay alive.
You need it to have a reason to live.
What would you like for me to do, sir?
Relocate the Offspring to the
contingency site immediately.
But Molly Woods is not to be harmed.
When we know the Offspring
has no use for its mother,
you can do what you wish.
Place call.
(soft chime)
Anya Sparks.
Alan? Alan, what's wrong?
Nothing. I just needed to talk.
Oh, you know, it's-it's late.
It's just, I was thinking of Katie.
You're the only one in
the world who understands.
I understand that calling me
makes you feel better. I do.
But it just makes me feel worse.
If Katie was...
We'd still be together.
A family.
But she's not.
That's not gonna change.
Good night, Alan.
♪
You sure you don't want me to come with you
- to the board meeting?
- Nope.
I've worked for the ISEA for
almost 20 years now, and...
you know, what we have should be enough.
I'm sorry, Molly.
It wasn't just the baby they took from you.
They took everything.
Space. The stars.
Not everything.
(quiet laugh)
Yes.
We still have breakfast.
I got your message about Ethan's governors.
I think you're making a mistake.
Well, it's a moot point. He locked me out.
I don't understand.
Well, that makes two of us.
I've lost all access to Ethan's neuralnet.
How is that even possible?
I have no idea.
Ethan. Breakfast.
I checked his room. He's not up there.
Thought he was down here.
No?
Ethan?
His bike is gone.
- Where's he going?
- He's at the park. I'll get him.
You go do what you got to do.
Okay.
♪
Check this out.
(beeping)
(boys laughing)
- Ah, yeah.
- All right.
Yeah!
Nice bike.
Thanks. My dad gave it to me.
You live around here?
No. I live a few miles that way. Oh,
so you came here to give us your bike?
No. I came to ride. I like to ride.
Hope you like to walk, loser.
Hey!
(short cackle)
You want some more?
Ethan.
Hey. Thank God. What happened?
Let me see.
Did you fall off the bike?
No.
Then what?
I told you last night...
you can't just go riding off
on your own like that.
What were you thinking?
I don't know.
I just wanted to explore.
We need to get you back to the lab.
Come on.
Damage detected.
Please contact the nearest
maintenance facility
at your earliest convenience.
I want to take him home.
It's a busted-up sweeper
bot. It doesn't work anymore.
I want to take it.
KERN: By the time I got to
Claypool, the team had already
let her slip away.
They executed the containment scenario.
She just got the better of us.
We're abandoning Claypool.
- Sir?
- Tonight.
We're moving the Offspring
to the contingency site.
The teams know what to do.
Yes, sir.
And, Gordon...
taking into account last night's break-in,
our investor would like that
security threat eliminated
before we move the Offspring.
I thought you convinced him
that she might be necessary.
She crossed the line.
We can't take any more chances.
Come with me.
They're moving the Offspring.
We don't have to go in.
They're bringing it out.
Tonight.
We can get him?
The truck carrying the mobile incubator
will be heavily guarded.
But if all goes to plan...
if we can pull this off...
we'll have a few hours
to get the Offspring to the ISEA.
I'm sorry, but the word "Offspring" just...
It-it feels so...
Alien.
Look, I don't know how we...
astronauts
are gonna pull off a truck heist without...
There's a vulnerability in
Claypool's infrastructure.
I'll detonate an explosive
on the main transformer
as soon as the Offspring
truck is clear of the building.
With the power cut,
the system will drop the garage
gates to protect the building.
We can then split the truck
off from its security convoy.
- Okay, what about the guys driving the trucks?
- We'll neutralize them.
Oh, we're neutralizing now, are we?
We're not. I am.
Can you drive a truck?
Yeah.
Then worry about that.
The rest is on me.
No, well, we're all at risk here.
Sparks gave me an order to
kill you before they move it.
This is our only chance.
Okay, Rabbit, let's fix you.
So, they just grabbed
your bike for no reason?
I could have stopped
them if I was stronger.
Don't move.
Don't be so hard on yourself.
It was two against one.
I should be stronger.
SERVICE BOT: Damage detected.
Please contact the nearest
maintenance facility
at your earliest convenience.
(whirring)
They were hurting the bot.
Seriously, if you keep moving,
I'm gonna turn your mouth off.
Can you help me fix him?
Got my hands full fixing you.
Are they gonna throw him away?
He looks pretty beat up.
I don't think he's able to
perform his function anymore.
What's my function?
We made you...
so that you could find your own function.
That's why you're special.
Nobody wakes up on this
planet and knows their purpose.
But I'm sure you'll find yours.
He's come a long way since then.
(sighs)
I'm sorry.
For accusing me of
locking you out of Ethan,
or for barging into my apartment
in the middle of the night?
You choose.
You shouldn't fret
over Ethan rebelling
against his programmer.
You wanted a kid, you got one.
It doesn't concern you
we no longer have access
to his programming?
I can't speak to your concerns as a parent,
but... we set out
to create a machine that
approximated a human,
and he just asked me what his function is.
Ethan is questioning
his own existence, John.
It doesn't get much more human than that.
Hey, sorry I missed the facial lesions.
John said Little Man was a trooper.
He was much more than that.
He's changing, Charlie.
He's thinking about things...
not just processing, but thinking.
- (laughs)
- Hooray! We're making a neurotic.
That seems like cause for celebration.
You want to get a drink,
or we can eat some food?
You eat? Of course you
eat. I mean, you hungry?
Look at me: I'm thinking.
I'm actually meeting someone.
- Orion?
- Odin.
You've been spending a lot of time
with this all-father of the gods.
What do you actually know about this guy?
I know he minds his own business.
Yeah, but I bet if you ran a search on him,
Mr. Perfect wouldn't seem so perfect.
You ran a search on him?
I mean, if I did, I'd just
be looking out for you.
If you did, it wouldn't feel that way.
What's happening in there?
My transport team was
prepping for extraction when
the incubator developed a leak.
The cloud appears to
be generating on its own
from inside the containment chamber.
Get inside and find out what's going on.
(mechanical hissing)
(device beeps)
Engage manual override.
(chirping)
(whooshing)
(door whooshes shut)
I'm a few steps in.
Visibility is limited.
The source of the leak is
not immediately apparent.
It's a particulate emission of some sort.
There's a similar substance
adhering to the walls.
I've got a sample.
I'm moving towards the tank.
It's definitely the source.
I can't make out the leak.
Sir, you're not going to believe this.
(alarm blaring)
What's happening?
Offspring heart rate
dropping. Respiration, too.
Revive team, move in!
Revive team, hold.
Heart rate right at 60 BPM.
Davis, report.
Davis?
Did we lose comms?
No, sir. Comms are good.
Davis isn't responding.
Dr. Davis? Dr. Davis?
(door opens)
We have a problem.
SERVICE BOT: I appear to be outside
my designated service area.
Turn the lights on, will you?
Why can't we fix him now?
It's bedtime.
I'm not tired. I want to fix him.
It's not up to you, Ethan.
We'll fix him in the morning.
I appear to be outside my
designated service area.
Please...
Why'd you do that? He needs our help.
Lights. Inside.
Molly: Okay, five minutes.
KRYGER: You ever hijack a truck?
No.
But I have docked a spaceship.
Same diff.
They called off everything.
- They're not moving the Offspring.
- Why?
Something happened to
it, or is happening to it,
but they never got it to the mobile unit.
Okay, now what?
We're scrubbing this.
No! It can't be over!
You heard the man. We're
finished, we're done.
No, we're not.
Maybe I can get you down there.
What?
I'm sorry, didn't you
say that was impossible?
We still have a Honey Bomb
on the main transformer.
I can blow it.
I can use the threat to clear the lab.
Let's just shoot each other here
a-and save them the trouble. Let's...
Just let him talk. The IR defenses
will go dark on the outside.
I can override a service door.
The first floor camera
system reboots in sectors,
from the outside in.
If you can stay ahead of the reboot,
you'll be able to move undetected
to the central elevator
that serves the lab.
It runs on its own power.
And you won't be able to call
it if you're not authorized,
so I'll get to security,
I'll send it up.
No way. This is suicide.
Even if we do get down
there, how are we gonna
bring the Offspring up?
Tupperware?
We're not bringing it up, are we?
I need to see him.
I need to know what
he's trying to say to me.
You don't have to go.
Molly, you remember what it
did to both of us up there.
Do you really...
do you really want to
go through that again?
I can't walk away now.
Screw it.
Screw it, I'm already dead.
If you go, I go.
Okay. Good.
I need a minute, okay?
Molly?
Take your shoes off and
go get ready for bed.
We'll be in to check on you in a minute.
Molly?
Gina, lock up for the night, please.
Gina: Doors locked.
- Hey, shoes.
- Why?
- It's been a long day, Ethan.
- You want me to take
my shoes off because it's been a long day?
I want you to take your shoes
off because they're muddy, okay?
Molly?
(chiming)
John, I'm sorry this is a message,
but if I heard your voice, I
don't think I could say this.
I can't let it go.
I don't expect you to understand that.
Molly?
Molly: But if I don't come back,
in time, I hope that
you'll realize that I didn't
have a choice.
And please don't come after me.
I don't want to risk Ethan
losing both of us.
I love you.
Bye.
Gina: Incoming V-Chron from Molly.
John, I'm sorry this is a message.
But if I don't come back,
in time, I hope that you'll realize
that I didn't have a choice.
And don't come after
me. I don't want to risk
Ethan losing both of us.
I love you.
Bye.
Let's do it.
Thanks for coming on such short notice.
We had just finished
dinner when you called.
Uh, I hope you don't mind. This...
Odin,

Uh... hey, sorry if I ruined your plans.
Not at all. Glad we could help out.
What's going on?
Uh... it's, uh... Molly.
I-I... I think she's in a tough situation.
It's okay. Go. Do what you need to do.
If anything suspicious happens,
just call the police, okay?
- Uh, okay.
- Ethan: Dad?
Hey.
There's nothing to worry about.
Julie and her friend are gonna stay here
till I come back, okay?
Is this about Mom?
No. No. Don't worry.
Just-just go back to bed.
Hey.
It'll be okay.
- Thank you.
- Of course.
Hey. Remember Odin?
Molly: Here, put this on.
- What's happening?
- The camera Kern mounted picks up
their infrared security.
All seems quiet.
(beeping)
Security's down.
Let's go.
What the hell is going on?
(alarm blaring)
20 seconds to sector two.
My guys say the main power
transformer overloaded
- and exploded.
- Check it out.
I want to know exactly what happened.
And find me Kern.

Here we go. Sector one's back.
Emergency protocol. This is not a drill.
We have five minutes to evacuate.
Sir.
Director Sparks needs to see you right now.

- I'm gonna take him.
- Stick to the plan.
Nowak, get upstairs.
Where have you been?
Dealing with Molly Woods.
She's been taken care of.
- It's not here.
- We can't wait.
Come on. Wait, wait,
wait. What are you doing?
Getting us a ride. I have his prints.
How do you know the room is clear?
Would you rather stay here?
KERN: Fire's spreading.
You should evacuate with the others.
I'm not leaving.
If this fire gets out of
control, we're gonna want
to put as much space between us and this
before the hook and ladders show up.
KRYGER: You okay?
Yeah.
Are you sure you're
ready to meet this thing?
I'm ready.
Thanks for coming with me.
Just remember not to trust
anything you see down there.
You won't know what's real or not.
Don't worry. I'm real.
Sir, we need to move.
Okay, let's go.

I thought we were evacuating.
Who's coming down?
Gordon Kern.
We're not going anywhere.
(elevator humming)
(elevator stops)
They cut the power.
Kern.
We're out of here.
He doesn't move.
I trusted you, Gordon.
You're making a huge mistake.
Perhaps.
But you made an even greater one.
Fan out. This is your target.
Here, take my hand!
