But have you seen the place? I mean, that's after having it for less than a day.

Then they turn into a larva, which is a baby.

Ahem.
So, have you given it a name?
We were waiting for you, Mom.
So, have you given it a name?
I think we should call her Anita.
So, have you given it a name?
Like your friend who moved?
So, have you given it a name?
Darling, you know that's just a machine.
So, have you given it a name?
It doesn't have feelings. It can't replace Anita.
So, have you given it a name?
I know. It's just a nice name.
So, have you given it a name?
- Everyone happy with Anita? - It's fine by me.
So, have you given it a name?
Your name is going to be Anita. Confirm.
So, have you given it a name?
Confirmed. Thank you, Joe.
So, have you given it a name?
So, um, what's your name?
So, have you given it a name?
My name is Anita Hawkins.
We've got a month to take it back.
We can talk about it then.
We've got a month to take it back.
How the hell can we afford it?
We've got a month to take it back.
A special offer.
We've got a month to take it back.
Over five years, it's less than we pay for the car.
We've got a month to take it back.
We need to get off the road.
- Charge levels? - 22.
31.
70%.
31.
11.
31.
It's getting dark.
31.
Find somewhere that we can't be seen from the road
31.
and set up camp and charge with what fuel we've got left.
31.
And Max and me will look for some more.
31.
31.
Put that away. If it's him, we run.

Leo.

No!
Wait!
Stop!
No!
Stop!
Would you like me to unpack your case for you, Laura?
Uh, no, no.
Thank you.
Salim Sadik?
Hey, I'm looking for this Synth.
Salim Sadik?
Huh. When did you bring it in?
Salim Sadik?
I didn't. She was stolen.
Salim Sadik?
Look. About five weeks ago.
Salim Sadik?
I know you use this place as a front
Salim Sadik?
to move boosted units.
Salim Sadik?
Are you threatening me?
Salim Sadik?
Why? Do you feel threatened?
Salim Sadik?
I've never seen her. We don't do that no more.
Salim Sadik?
Who does? Give me a name.
Salim Sadik?
Silas.
Silas Capek, okay?
Silas.
Perhaps she's been damaged or reprogrammed.
- Or destroyed. - Don't say that. Don't even think that.
Perhaps she's been damaged or reprogrammed.
She's been taken by junkers, sold on somewhere just like Fred and Niska.
Perhaps she's been damaged or reprogrammed.
Then why's she the only one who hasn't been in contact?
Perhaps she's been damaged or reprogrammed.
Come on.
Perhaps she's been damaged or reprogrammed.
- Coffee? - Mmm!
Oh, look at all this!
Wow!
- Is it a party? - No, Soph.
This is what breakfast is supposed to be like.
- Dad, the jam's in a-- a thing. - Yeah.
What do you reckon, Mats?
What? Harun's parents' one does this three meals a day.
- Oh. - Anita, brown sugar. I hate white.
Anita, stop. She's not a slave.
That's exactly what she is.
Having Anita doesn't mean you three get to sit on your bums all day.
For God's sake, that's already clean. Just sit down!
Dishwasher's worked nonstop for years.
- Why don't we throw a party? - Just shut up, Mats.
Because we can't guess why you like her so much, crusty sheets.
Oh, enough, Mattie.
If I had known you were going to be joining us for breakfast, Anita,
I'd have got some microchips.
I apologize, Anita.
That was my husband trying to be funny.
Finally, someone to laugh at my jokes.
Besides you, you mean.
Anita, you can stop now.
Anita, you can stop now.

I don't want you touching Sophie.
- Right. - Unless I judge the child's safety
I don't want you touching Sophie.

Niska, I'm sorry.
Fred didn't make the rendezvous. Something's wrong.
Niska, I'm sorry.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
- No. - It's been five weeks, Leo.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
She is gone. Now Fred's gone, too.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
So I'm not staying here for a second longer.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
I can't make you, but it is safer here.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
No one knows what you really are.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
But walk out of here tonight, that changes
Have you had any contact from Mia?
because this place paid a lot of money for you.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
They'll report it. That gets back to the people hunting us.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
And then you'd have to take your chances on the street with me.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
Like Max?
Have you had any contact from Mia?
Oh, he's not like you or Fred.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
He can't take care of himself.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
He can't hide what he really is.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
I will find a way to get you out
Have you had any contact from Mia?
and we'll make a new home somewhere.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
There is no home for us.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
There will be, I promise.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
Did you turn off your pain like I told you?
Have you had any contact from Mia?
No.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
I was meant to feel.
Have you had any contact from Mia?
Niska, what are you doing?
Niska, stop it. Stop it.
Niska, what are you doing?
Niska!
Niska, what are you doing?
I'm making it look like you just screwed me.
Niska, what are you doing?
Now leave.
Niska, what are you doing?
You have to press the button.
Niska, what are you doing?
It needs human body heat.
Niska, what are you doing?
Just hold on a little longer.
He looks normal.
Well, he's far from normal.
He looks normal.
Our hope is that he'll lead us to the others.
He looks normal.
When do my people get to examine it?
He looks normal.
That won't be possible.
He looks normal.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
Unlimited resources. Total access.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
All because you claim there are a handful

of synthetics who can think and feel.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
Now you've finally found one.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
I think we've earned the right to study it.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
Robert, these machines are conscious.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
How do you know they don't just simulate it?
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
How do I know you don't?
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
I knew David Elster.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
A simulation would be of no interest.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
His goal was to create machine life, as he called it.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
Oh, so they're alive now.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
No, a parody of it, which is why they are so dangerous.
Our companies have funded your operation for years.
Oh, come on. They're just freaks.

Do you know what the singularity is?
A mathematician named John von Neumann
coined the term in the 1950s
A mathematician named John von Neumann
to describe the inevitable point in the future
A mathematician named John von Neumann
when technology surpasses us.
A mathematician named John von Neumann
When it becomes able to improve
A mathematician named John von Neumann
and reproduce itself without our help.
A mathematician named John von Neumann
It is the moment we become inferior to the machine.
A mathematician named John von Neumann
Now our world is on the verge of becoming dependent on Synth labor.
A mathematician named John von Neumann
Now these Synths are physically no different to any others,
A mathematician named John von Neumann
and yet Elster gave them consciousness.
A mathematician named John von Neumann
If it could be done for the few,
A mathematician named John von Neumann
it can be done for the more.
A mathematician named John von Neumann
And then what?
Do you think they would still want to be slaves?
And then what?
These freaks are the singularity.
These freaks are the singularity.
I can't let you be recycled.
Is it a game?
I can't let you be recycled.
There's things that you know.
I can't let you be recycled.
She cried and laughed.
She cried when I pulled the bee sting out.
She cried and laughed.
But then-- then-- then-- then--
She cried and laughed.
at the doctor's, she laughed.
She cried and laughed.
You laughed, too, George.
And Mary said I could-- could--
You laughed, too, George.
could-- could-- could laugh.
You laughed, too, George.
Would you like some toast and jam, George?
You laughed, too, George.
Your favorite is-- is-- is--

What would you say if I asked you what you thought of this music?
I'd say it's very well played.
What do you base that on?
I compare the pitch, tonality, and rhythm
of the performance to the sheet music that I access via--
I compare the pitch, tonality, and rhythm
No, do you think anything of it?
I compare the pitch, tonality, and rhythm
I'm sorry, Laura.
I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
I'm sorry, Laura.

Right, those veg should be done.

Mommy, I want to give Anita a good-night kiss.
Ah! Ah!
Mommy, I want to give Anita a good-night kiss.
I'm sorry, Laura. I'm fully qualified in first aid.
Mommy, I want to give Anita a good-night kiss.
I prioritized the risk to Sophie's safety.
Mommy, I want to give Anita a good-night kiss.
Sophie, you silly girl.
Mommy, I want to give Anita a good-night kiss.
You know you're supposed to be careful around the oven.
Mommy, I want to give Anita a good-night kiss.
Bed, now!
Mommy, I want to give Anita a good-night kiss.
Have these machines devalued human existence?
The best reason for making machines more like people
is to make people less like machines.
The woman in China who works 11 hours a day stitching footballs.
The boy in Bangladesh inhaling poison
as he breaks up a ship for scrap.
The miner in Bolivia risking death every time he goes to work.
They can all be part of the past.
Synthetic devices free people.
We've treated people like machines for too long.
It's time to liberate their minds, their bodies
to think, to feel, to be more human.
But a lot of people would argue that work is a human right.
If anything, the hard work gives you a sense of self-worth.
I think you should spend one week working in a microchip facility.
So we're all going to be poets or something?
What a load of crap.
Oi, slagchops, I'm watching that.
Watch it in your room, knobcock.
All right, both of you to your rooms.
- Seriously? - Now.
We're not 12.
- Why do you always have to do this? - Do what?
You just ruin everything.
I think the back door just opened.
If Mattie's smoking again...
Then you'll have a screaming row
and she'll smoke somewhere else for a bit.
Fingers crossed it's only burglars.
Anita, you need to stay inside after we go to bed.
- Is that clear? - Of course, Laura.
Anita, you need to stay inside after we go to bed.
I'm sorry.
Anita, you need to stay inside after we go to bed.
The moon is beautiful tonight, don't you think?
They're not supposed to ask questions like that.
They're not supposed to have accidents either.
They're not supposed to ask questions like that.
Are they?
They're not supposed to ask questions like that.
We're not taking it back.
Should we be afraid of our synthetics?
Hundreds of millions operational across the world
Should we be afraid of our synthetics?
and not one single verified instance
Should we be afraid of our synthetics?
of a Synth knowingly injuring a human.
Should we be afraid of our synthetics?
Their sole purpose is to make our lives better.
They aren't sentient. They don't have any thought,
Their sole purpose is to make our lives better.
emotion or awareness.
Their sole purpose is to make our lives better.
The Asimov blocks in their programming
mean that they simply aren't able to do us any harm.

What if you can't find her?
I will find her, Maxie.
Because I love her.
I will find her, Maxie.
And she loves me.
I will find her, Maxie.
But do you believe that one day
we will have a truly artificially intelligent Synth,
But do you believe that one day
one that thinks and feels like a human?
But do you believe that one day
How can we replicate something we hardly understand in ourselves?
But do you believe that one day
How would we even know if we succeeded?
But do you believe that one day
But you admit it's something you're working towards?
But do you believe that one day
Think of the problems to solve before we get there.
But do you believe that one day
What is human emotion?
For example, what is love?
What is human emotion?
Is it something we are born with?
Or can it be learned?
Is it something we are born with?
Is it something we are born with?
Panties down, not off.
Is it something we are born with?
And what about the darker feelings?
Is it something we are born with?
Fear, anger, violence.
Is it something we are born with?
Human consciousness is not complete without them.
Is it something we are born with?
And memory, ours are subjective, fallible.
Is it something we are born with?
But how do you teach a computer to forget?
Is it something we are born with?
Or to dream?
It's something our minds need to do.
Or to dream?
Would a conscious Synth have to be able to dream?
Or to dream?
To have nightmares?
Or to dream?
Of course not.
They're just machines.
Of course not.
