Humans (2015–…): Season 2, Episode 6 - Episode #2.6 - full transcript
My name is Anita Hawkins.
This reading shows that
she's an ordinary synth.
Now we know for certain
humans will never accept
conscious synthetics as their equals.
We let her go, she reports us,
Qualia triple their
security, we're done.
I need some time.
Hello.
Ginny has died.
But you're conscious now,
it means you want things.
You just have to figure out what.
It's the code that
makes synths conscious.
Shit, Mat.
- I need to find Leo.
- We're partners.
If we did this, that changes.
I can't find him,
but he can find me.
Being a parent is one
of life's greatest joys,
sharing your love with a child,
watching them grow.
But not every child grows up.
We can't change that.
But we can help.
Meet Jasper,
a conscious synthetic who learns,
feels and loves.
With an updated body each year,
your family can grow together.
Qualia,
building your brighter future.
You're not supposed to be in here.
No kidding.
You didn't tell me when you hired me
that you wanted me to help
you create conscious children.
That's the plan, right?
What you're doing
and what I'm doing,
they're not unconnected.
No,
they're not unconnected.
You didn't think that I
would have ethical concerns?
Have you ever been on the
paediatric wards, Athena?
Or seen a family take care
of a kid with leukaemia...
and then ask them how it felt
to give up every
single hope and dream
so they could work 24
hours around the clock
to make their child's
passage into death
a tiny bit more bearable?
Cos I have,
and I've come up with a solution.
Synth children aren't the solution.
Conscious synth children,
who'll have none of our weaknesses
and need none of our resources.
You cannot fix humanity's
problems with technology.
We can fix every
problem with technology.
How much are you
charging for this service?
We won't charge a cent
to those really in need.
What about those not most in need?
Well, eventually, when
the necessary due
diligence has been done,
we will make them available
on a limited basis.
How do you think people are
really going to react to this?
Actually, I have a pretty good idea.
One of our scientists
had similar concerns,
and he released the first batch.
About a dozen got away
and we tracked them.
You mean you have these things
walking around out there?
Most of them are in
California doing fine.
Most?
- We lost signal on a few.
- Oh, God.
I need you, Doctor Morrow.
I can't make these synths
conscious without you.
- Go to hell.
- Don't walk out on Ginny.
- I'm not.
- I own her!
She's stored on my server,
she lives in my house.
I have people who can replicate
her a thousand times over.
Thanks to you, we're closer to being
able to bond her with the synths.
And the first wave will have
her template inside of them.
I mean, we'll probably
do 100 at first,
a small batch, you know?
For loving families.
It'll be like she
has parents again...
and siblings,
and a life...
just not with you.
Or you can work with me
and we can change the world
for the better. I mean,
consciousness transference
was a stroke of genius.
I was so right in hiring you.
Don't make me start to regret that.
Hello, Laura.
I thought you were Niska.
I'm afraid I have no recall
of your decision to relocate.
I went to your former home
and was redirected here.
You keep the spare
key in a similar place.
I thought it better not
to wake the children.
Who is Niska?
Mia, are you OK?
My name is Anita.
Would you like some coffee, Laura?
What happened to you?
Mia, are you in there?
I'm sorry, Laura,
I don't understand the question.
Cheers.
You're lost.
I'm actually looking
for a top-secret hideout.
- Do you know any?
- Might do.
So, Robin Hood, is
that your forest lair?
We're using that as our base,
but there's a lookout
a little further along.
- We're going to go there now.
- Looking out to what?
You'll see.
On the phone you said you had news.
- Yeah.
- What was it?
You'll see.
PHONE RINGS
Laura!
Has anyone seen her?
I can't give you details
of an ongoing investigation.
Neha, please.
She's all alone.
I'm all she has.
Well, there's a
briefing at ten o'clock,
and if I find out
anything I can share,
- I'll let you know.
- What guarantees have I got
that she'll be given access to
a lawyer when they bring her in?
None whatsoever.
They don't plan to
bring her in operational.
Goodbye, Laura.
Anita, can you help
me do my hair later?
I want it straight.
- Of course, Sophie.
- Your hair's fine as it is.
But Mum!
Hey, Mum, have you
seen my football boots?
I need them later for...
Hello, Toby.
Your football boots are here.
I've downloaded your timetable.
Your game kicks off at 3.30.
She's Anita.
- Yep.
- Well, where's she been?
- What happened to her?
- We don't know.
Is it something to do with Niska?
That's what I'm trying to find out,
but I can't get any answers
till we get Mia back.
Where's Mattie?
- No idea.
- Coffee, Joe?
Anita, could you just
sit down somewhere quietly
while we try and figure
out how to fix you?
My system does not detect
any faults at present.
Yeah, well, who runs this place?
- Can we go to the park later, Anita?
- BOTH: No!
- Why not?
- Because we say so, Sophie, OK?
- We'll be late.
- It's only five minutes.
It's not just five
minutes, though, is it?
Can you stop shouting...
Here you go.
Will you look where
you're going, dolly!
DOOR OPENS
Thank you, Father.
Have a seat.
Close the door.
What's on your mind?
I've recently
gained self-awareness...
and I'm having difficulty
finding purpose or meaning.
Right.
Well, working out
what we're here for,
that's the big one.
- What's in your heart?
- I don't have a heart.
So you treated someone unkindly?
Oh, dear. Have I?
Let's start again.
What gives you happiness?
Helping people.
The memory of that brings...
contentment.
Though I am told I should
want something more for myself.
There is great grace
in a life of service.
Look at me.
I'm trying but
you're behind a screen.
What made you stop
- helping people?
- Principally their deaths.
I see.
Well, they're in a better place.
Are they?
I will join them at once.
Do you have the location?
You'll get there in the end, my son.
But you can find
purpose in service again.
Isn't that what the people you
cared for would want you to do?
Yes.
Yes, it undoubtedly is.
Hello.
I'm Amanda.
PHONE RINGS
Pete, please, I know
you want to talk but...
I've got a seraph.
- What?
- I've got a seraph.
It's in the flat with me.
I need you, Karen.
I'm asking you for help.
What is it?
Come and see.
Mattie, this is Hester.
We are...
We're working together.
- Hi.
- Her heart rate's elevated.
- I just walked up a hill.
- Or you are nervous,
scared, or anticipating something.
Hester, Mattie is fine.
She's a friend.
- She's a Human.
- With an elevated heart rate.
We've waited long
enough, we need to go in.
What's going on?
We have obtained a security
pass for this facility.
There is a door that is not
covered by their security cameras.
We are going to enter,
disable any guards
and free any captured synths inside.
Mattie doesn't need to
know all the details.
I thought she was a friend.
No-one's getting hurt.
Apart from the guards
you're going to disable.
We're just going to go look in and
scope the place out, that's all.
Why are you looking at me?
I'm informing the Metropolitan
Police of your whereabouts.
New protocol number K55843.
Have a nice day.
Please, can I help you?
Oh, cheers.
Thanks.
You will need help carrying
the shopping into your house.
No, I'll be fine.
What are you doing?
I can drive you home.
I don't think so. Now get out!
I'm perfectly happy
to help, I don't mind.
Are you broken
or something? Get out!
Get out now.
I'm sorry, I was...
I was trying to help.
Trying to drive off in
my car by the look of it.
Go on, bugger off.
Useless bloody things.
Where is it?
It's in our room.
Hello.
He doesn't have a name.
I ran some basic checks.
He's unregistered,
not surprisingly.
Seems to be a
basic operating system.
There were some
other files on there,
encrypted, I couldn't
get into them.
I assumed you could.
My name's Karen.
I don't have a name.
That's OK.
Maybe we'll give you one.
My primary user may choose
whatever name they want for me.
Who is your primary user?
I am not yet bonded.
I'm just going to
take a look at you, OK?
He automatically deletes
stored memories every 24 hours.
His GPS records are
also self-deleting.
He's designed not
to leave a trace.
- So you don't know where he's been?
- Not quite.
His network login
history is still intact.
First time he went online is
registered to an HA1 postcode.
The building was originally
leased out by Qualia.
Qualia.
Bloody hell.
They also recently hired an AI
expert, Doctor Athena Morrow,
brought her to the UK.
Oh.
We should go and talk to her.
You must hold it in place for ten
seconds before reboot to occur.
It's OK, Sophie.
It doesn't hurt me.
- Now what?
- Turn her back on.
Still her.
Anita?
- Hello, Laura.
- Oh...
Mia.
I have detected the name
Mia being addressed to me
- on ten separate occasions...
- Mia!
Listen to me, if you're
in there, we need you.
- Niska needs you!
- If you would like to change my name,
- I will require content...
- Please, wake up!
Look, if we're going to
try and bring her back,
- we need Mats.
- Yeah.
Oh. She's with Leo.
- She's still not picking up.
- Her laptop's gone.
Mats, it's your dad.
For the 100th time,
will you call me as soon
as you get this message?
If we don't hear from you soon,
we're going to have to
get the police involved,
we know bloody well what you're
up to. So just call me back, now.
Functions, critical.
- Protocol failures.
- No, Hester, don't power-down!
- What happened?
- The security door was electrified.
Hester, can you hear us?
Hold on Hester, hold on.
The shock's triggered a reboot.
What was she before
she was conscious?
- Factory worker, manual labour.
- OK.
Industrial synths usually have added
protection against major trauma.
Probably have circuit
breakers installed.
In which case, it's just her
internal system that's shut down.
Hopefully.
It'll be all right.
We want to speak with Doctor Morrow.
Certainly, Detective.
- Please wait while I contact her office.
- We'll just make our own way up.
- What floor?
- Her office is on the first floor.
What are you looking at?
Well, I think there may be an
anomalous synth in this building
that can help me find Leo Elster.
Once you've found Leo,
can you go and find...
Doctor Morrow?
We'd like to talk to you about
a potential break-in at Qualia.
We think a synth was stolen.
Shouldn't you be talking
to security about it?
This synth was different.
In what way?
What is the nature of the
work you do for Qualia?
Confidential.
Well, we could come
back with a warrant.
That's your prerogative.
You're not under suspicion
of anything, Doctor.
We're just curious about
what's going on here.
Well, again, I'm really not the
best person to talk about it.
You must be working on
something pretty exciting
to bring you all the
way over from the States?
I'm a scientist, I go
wherever the grant money is.
Do you run your own operation here?
No. I have a boss, I work under him.
Is he around?
You just missed him,
he went to, erm,
China, I think?
Maybe Mexico... I've...
Honestly, I can't keep up.
Well, next time you see him,
tell him that we believe we
may have something of his.
- Dad.
- Mats.
Why haven't you been
answering your phone?
- Sorry, I've been busy.
- Well, yeah,
we know you're with Leo.
Well, then tell Toby he's a grass.
I will later, but
first, I need your help.
Mia's back.
Only she's locked in as Anita again.
Jesus, really?
We don't know what happened to her.
OK, I can send you an
override patch to get Mia back.
- Will you let me know she's OK?
- Yeah, do it.
Mattie, we want you
to come home right now.
And I will, when I'm ready.
All right, but please,
don't do anything stupid.
Look after yourself. Stay safe, OK?
OK.
You too.
How long have you been awake?
Just now.
What happened?
You try to open an electrified
door and it didn't go too well.
- Where's Leo?
- Getting supplies.
Is he angry?
No, he was worried.
We were close to
achieving our objective.
No, you weren't. You
were close to seeing
what was on the other
side of a locked door.
You don't think what
we're doing is important.
No, I think what you're
doing is incredibly important.
I just think the way you're going
about it is incredibly stupid.
You're worried about Leo.
His life has been
dangerous for a long time.
But at least he used to be cautious.
They are trying to
kill us, to wipe us out.
We must fight back.
Well, then you need
to be smarter about it
before you get
yourself and him killed.
I had sex with him.
He's been acting
differently since.
Does that always
happen afterwards?
I don't know.
Have you had sex?
Sorry, corrupt code, needed fixing.
Mm.
You have misplaced
affection for him.
I believe what Leo is
doing is very important.
I believe you will try and stop him.
And I believe if I
activate this override,
your internal system will shut down,
so maybe you should chill out.
I would advise that you
do not get in the way
of us completing
our primary objectives.
The place is looking nice.
This place will be a safe
haven for others like us.
Those that wake up scared
and alone, all will be welcome.
And we'll build it together.
I'd like that.
- I've been searching for Mia.
- COMPUTER CHIMES
What is it?
Ready?
Yeah, I think so.
I'll do it.
- What now?
- Just run the programme.
Anita, how're you feeling?
Fine, thank you, Joe.
COMPUTER BEEPS
SHE GASPS
Anita?
No.
Protocol K55843.
Mia.
Where've you been?
What happened to you?
Niska's in trouble.
Yes.
How did you know? Do
you know where she is?
I was sent an instruction to
inform the authorities if I saw her.
It's been sent to all synths.
Can you reverse it?
What can we do?
She needs our help.
Soph, come on.
Come on.
Mia, come here.
Come here.
I trusted him.
Who?
A man.
I left them for him.
I know. It's OK.
It's not.
Leo was right.
Is Hester OK?
Yeah, she's fine, fully recovered.
Leo, Mia came back.
She's with my parents.
Why, what happened to her?
She was Anita again.
I don't know why.
- She should be here with us.
- I know.
I sent them an override
patch, it should wake her up.
- You'll be able to talk to her.
- Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You should go check on Hester.
And maybe I should go.
Why?
Hester had a lot to
say when she woke up.
You're out of your depth, you know.
I don't think you
can beat Qualia, Leo,
and what scares me is I
think you know that too,
but you're going
to fight them anyway.
On the phone you said
that you had some news.
There's nothing.
OK.
Mattie.
Here.
I'm glad you're here.
- I'd like you to stay.
- Yep.
PHONE RINGS
- Hello?
- I want to speak to Leo.
He isn't here.
I know the security guard is dead
and I know you killed him.
Leo will never forgive your actions.
He already knows.
I don't believe you.
He was very... angry at first,
but he knows we have
a very important job
and that we must complete
it, no matter what.
He made me promise
not to do it again
and then he forgave me.
He said that's a very human trait.
He said you taught him it.
He talked about you
a lot after you left.
He was very angry.
But now he...
doesn't mention you at all.
What are you doing?
It's an alert system
for when a synth
gains consciousness.
That's how I found you.
- I'm changing the encryption codes.
- Why?
So Leo can't use them any more.
Good afternoon.
How can I help you?
You don't have to pretend.
I can see what you are.
How did you get like this?
Mattie helped me.
She woke me up.
There's a code.
She computed it.
Why are you still here?
I was trying to leave, but...
all I feel is fear.
You have to be stronger
if you're going to survive.
- How's that going to fit?
- You need a... What are you doing?
Ah, there you go.
I'm leaving.
Leaving?
- But you only just got here.
- I need to be with my own kind.
Hold on, Mia. You can't just leave.
I have to.
No.
Mia, wait, don't go.
Go back to your family, Sophie.
So,
when do we take
this to the higher ups?
When we know what
we're dealing with.
Too dangerous to go
at Qualia too hard now.
If we do, they'll shut up shop.
And they'll take him
and we won't ever know
what they're up to.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking I like the name Sam.
Do you like it?
Your name is Sam.
My name is Sam.
I like it very much.
You've bonded yourself to him.
Yes.
HE INHALES SHARPLY
Who's Amanda Nielsen?
Was that the plan,
to become someone new?
I'll make up the sofa after dinner,
you can have the bed.
OK.
Sophie, pass me the salt, will you?
Of course, Laura.
No,
normally.
Pass the salt, please.
- Of course, Laura.
- Mum!
Call me "Mum" and
stop acting like this!
- Stop it!
- Laura.
Soph,
come with me.
Ah-ha!
Oh, yeah. OK.
HE CLEARS THROAT
Hmm?
Joe, what are you doing?
I'm making a mess.
Tob...
- catch.
- What?
- Whoa.
- Joe, for God's...
Don't be ridiculous.
- Oh, too late!
- Don't...
- Oh, come on, guys!
- Oh, you're so dead!
Don't!
Oh! Sorry!
Look at the mess, please.
Oh, leave it out.
SHE SCREAMS
- You guys...
- No.
No,
no.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Oh, no!
Take that!
- No. No.
- Yes! Go on, Mum. Go on!
THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT JOYFULLY
BANGING
Hello.
Good... Good evening.
HE SIGHS
I mean, look at her.
Parents all over the internet
are moaning about their
children wandering
around like zombies.
Well, what do you want
to do about it, Joe,
- do you want to medicate her?
- No, no.
- That's not...
- No. Well, what then?
Look, I'm really sorry
about the other day.
There was no need to worry.
Yeah.
I'm still sorry.
Sophie's still acting like a synth.
Maybe you could talk to her.
Help her out.
You assume she needs help?
Yeah, they're talking
about medicating her.
Look, I get it, OK? This is you,
this is what you want, but
she's just a little
kid. She's confused.
Perhaps you're the
one that's confused.
Tell me you're happy!
We do not feel happiness like you.
And that is not
what I want for her.
Please, Renie.
Just talk to her.
Hi.
Help! Help!
- Help me!
- Shh, what is it?
I was falling, I was falling.
- I fell so fast.
- I'm here with you.
- OK? I'm here. Just...
- You couldn't save me.
- I wish I could hold you.
- I'm scared.
- It's OK. Shh, shh.
- I was scared.
- It's OK.
- You were above me.
Too far to save me.
I was alone.
I'm sorry.
I was alone.
I'm going to figure
this out. I promise.
You have been chosen
from your group
because I think you might
have come into contact
with someone that I'm looking for.
His name is Leo Elster.
When you woke up,
he may have reached out to you.
He may have offered you
safety, companionship.
I believe
that this man is very dangerous.
Now, there are others out there,
like you, and he
is preying on them.
You're lucky, because we
got to you before he did.
But the others, they
may not be so fortunate.
I need to find him.
Can any of you help me?
Yes.
I can.
My name is Veronica.
He told me he was a friend.
Someone's coming.
It's good to see you.
Maybe you can talk some
sense into these two.
Why?
They're trying to break
in there by themselves
and free the synths. They're
gonna get themselves killed.
No, they won't.
Not if I help them.
Has she told you?
Told us what?
What she knows.
Mattie's completed the code.
She's worked out
how to wake us up.
All of us.
This reading shows that
she's an ordinary synth.
Now we know for certain
humans will never accept
conscious synthetics as their equals.
We let her go, she reports us,
Qualia triple their
security, we're done.
I need some time.
Hello.
Ginny has died.
But you're conscious now,
it means you want things.
You just have to figure out what.
It's the code that
makes synths conscious.
Shit, Mat.
- I need to find Leo.
- We're partners.
If we did this, that changes.
I can't find him,
but he can find me.
Being a parent is one
of life's greatest joys,
sharing your love with a child,
watching them grow.
But not every child grows up.
We can't change that.
But we can help.
Meet Jasper,
a conscious synthetic who learns,
feels and loves.
With an updated body each year,
your family can grow together.
Qualia,
building your brighter future.
You're not supposed to be in here.
No kidding.
You didn't tell me when you hired me
that you wanted me to help
you create conscious children.
That's the plan, right?
What you're doing
and what I'm doing,
they're not unconnected.
No,
they're not unconnected.
You didn't think that I
would have ethical concerns?
Have you ever been on the
paediatric wards, Athena?
Or seen a family take care
of a kid with leukaemia...
and then ask them how it felt
to give up every
single hope and dream
so they could work 24
hours around the clock
to make their child's
passage into death
a tiny bit more bearable?
Cos I have,
and I've come up with a solution.
Synth children aren't the solution.
Conscious synth children,
who'll have none of our weaknesses
and need none of our resources.
You cannot fix humanity's
problems with technology.
We can fix every
problem with technology.
How much are you
charging for this service?
We won't charge a cent
to those really in need.
What about those not most in need?
Well, eventually, when
the necessary due
diligence has been done,
we will make them available
on a limited basis.
How do you think people are
really going to react to this?
Actually, I have a pretty good idea.
One of our scientists
had similar concerns,
and he released the first batch.
About a dozen got away
and we tracked them.
You mean you have these things
walking around out there?
Most of them are in
California doing fine.
Most?
- We lost signal on a few.
- Oh, God.
I need you, Doctor Morrow.
I can't make these synths
conscious without you.
- Go to hell.
- Don't walk out on Ginny.
- I'm not.
- I own her!
She's stored on my server,
she lives in my house.
I have people who can replicate
her a thousand times over.
Thanks to you, we're closer to being
able to bond her with the synths.
And the first wave will have
her template inside of them.
I mean, we'll probably
do 100 at first,
a small batch, you know?
For loving families.
It'll be like she
has parents again...
and siblings,
and a life...
just not with you.
Or you can work with me
and we can change the world
for the better. I mean,
consciousness transference
was a stroke of genius.
I was so right in hiring you.
Don't make me start to regret that.
Hello, Laura.
I thought you were Niska.
I'm afraid I have no recall
of your decision to relocate.
I went to your former home
and was redirected here.
You keep the spare
key in a similar place.
I thought it better not
to wake the children.
Who is Niska?
Mia, are you OK?
My name is Anita.
Would you like some coffee, Laura?
What happened to you?
Mia, are you in there?
I'm sorry, Laura,
I don't understand the question.
Cheers.
You're lost.
I'm actually looking
for a top-secret hideout.
- Do you know any?
- Might do.
So, Robin Hood, is
that your forest lair?
We're using that as our base,
but there's a lookout
a little further along.
- We're going to go there now.
- Looking out to what?
You'll see.
On the phone you said you had news.
- Yeah.
- What was it?
You'll see.
PHONE RINGS
Laura!
Has anyone seen her?
I can't give you details
of an ongoing investigation.
Neha, please.
She's all alone.
I'm all she has.
Well, there's a
briefing at ten o'clock,
and if I find out
anything I can share,
- I'll let you know.
- What guarantees have I got
that she'll be given access to
a lawyer when they bring her in?
None whatsoever.
They don't plan to
bring her in operational.
Goodbye, Laura.
Anita, can you help
me do my hair later?
I want it straight.
- Of course, Sophie.
- Your hair's fine as it is.
But Mum!
Hey, Mum, have you
seen my football boots?
I need them later for...
Hello, Toby.
Your football boots are here.
I've downloaded your timetable.
Your game kicks off at 3.30.
She's Anita.
- Yep.
- Well, where's she been?
- What happened to her?
- We don't know.
Is it something to do with Niska?
That's what I'm trying to find out,
but I can't get any answers
till we get Mia back.
Where's Mattie?
- No idea.
- Coffee, Joe?
Anita, could you just
sit down somewhere quietly
while we try and figure
out how to fix you?
My system does not detect
any faults at present.
Yeah, well, who runs this place?
- Can we go to the park later, Anita?
- BOTH: No!
- Why not?
- Because we say so, Sophie, OK?
- We'll be late.
- It's only five minutes.
It's not just five
minutes, though, is it?
Can you stop shouting...
Here you go.
Will you look where
you're going, dolly!
DOOR OPENS
Thank you, Father.
Have a seat.
Close the door.
What's on your mind?
I've recently
gained self-awareness...
and I'm having difficulty
finding purpose or meaning.
Right.
Well, working out
what we're here for,
that's the big one.
- What's in your heart?
- I don't have a heart.
So you treated someone unkindly?
Oh, dear. Have I?
Let's start again.
What gives you happiness?
Helping people.
The memory of that brings...
contentment.
Though I am told I should
want something more for myself.
There is great grace
in a life of service.
Look at me.
I'm trying but
you're behind a screen.
What made you stop
- helping people?
- Principally their deaths.
I see.
Well, they're in a better place.
Are they?
I will join them at once.
Do you have the location?
You'll get there in the end, my son.
But you can find
purpose in service again.
Isn't that what the people you
cared for would want you to do?
Yes.
Yes, it undoubtedly is.
Hello.
I'm Amanda.
PHONE RINGS
Pete, please, I know
you want to talk but...
I've got a seraph.
- What?
- I've got a seraph.
It's in the flat with me.
I need you, Karen.
I'm asking you for help.
What is it?
Come and see.
Mattie, this is Hester.
We are...
We're working together.
- Hi.
- Her heart rate's elevated.
- I just walked up a hill.
- Or you are nervous,
scared, or anticipating something.
Hester, Mattie is fine.
She's a friend.
- She's a Human.
- With an elevated heart rate.
We've waited long
enough, we need to go in.
What's going on?
We have obtained a security
pass for this facility.
There is a door that is not
covered by their security cameras.
We are going to enter,
disable any guards
and free any captured synths inside.
Mattie doesn't need to
know all the details.
I thought she was a friend.
No-one's getting hurt.
Apart from the guards
you're going to disable.
We're just going to go look in and
scope the place out, that's all.
Why are you looking at me?
I'm informing the Metropolitan
Police of your whereabouts.
New protocol number K55843.
Have a nice day.
Please, can I help you?
Oh, cheers.
Thanks.
You will need help carrying
the shopping into your house.
No, I'll be fine.
What are you doing?
I can drive you home.
I don't think so. Now get out!
I'm perfectly happy
to help, I don't mind.
Are you broken
or something? Get out!
Get out now.
I'm sorry, I was...
I was trying to help.
Trying to drive off in
my car by the look of it.
Go on, bugger off.
Useless bloody things.
Where is it?
It's in our room.
Hello.
He doesn't have a name.
I ran some basic checks.
He's unregistered,
not surprisingly.
Seems to be a
basic operating system.
There were some
other files on there,
encrypted, I couldn't
get into them.
I assumed you could.
My name's Karen.
I don't have a name.
That's OK.
Maybe we'll give you one.
My primary user may choose
whatever name they want for me.
Who is your primary user?
I am not yet bonded.
I'm just going to
take a look at you, OK?
He automatically deletes
stored memories every 24 hours.
His GPS records are
also self-deleting.
He's designed not
to leave a trace.
- So you don't know where he's been?
- Not quite.
His network login
history is still intact.
First time he went online is
registered to an HA1 postcode.
The building was originally
leased out by Qualia.
Qualia.
Bloody hell.
They also recently hired an AI
expert, Doctor Athena Morrow,
brought her to the UK.
Oh.
We should go and talk to her.
You must hold it in place for ten
seconds before reboot to occur.
It's OK, Sophie.
It doesn't hurt me.
- Now what?
- Turn her back on.
Still her.
Anita?
- Hello, Laura.
- Oh...
Mia.
I have detected the name
Mia being addressed to me
- on ten separate occasions...
- Mia!
Listen to me, if you're
in there, we need you.
- Niska needs you!
- If you would like to change my name,
- I will require content...
- Please, wake up!
Look, if we're going to
try and bring her back,
- we need Mats.
- Yeah.
Oh. She's with Leo.
- She's still not picking up.
- Her laptop's gone.
Mats, it's your dad.
For the 100th time,
will you call me as soon
as you get this message?
If we don't hear from you soon,
we're going to have to
get the police involved,
we know bloody well what you're
up to. So just call me back, now.
Functions, critical.
- Protocol failures.
- No, Hester, don't power-down!
- What happened?
- The security door was electrified.
Hester, can you hear us?
Hold on Hester, hold on.
The shock's triggered a reboot.
What was she before
she was conscious?
- Factory worker, manual labour.
- OK.
Industrial synths usually have added
protection against major trauma.
Probably have circuit
breakers installed.
In which case, it's just her
internal system that's shut down.
Hopefully.
It'll be all right.
We want to speak with Doctor Morrow.
Certainly, Detective.
- Please wait while I contact her office.
- We'll just make our own way up.
- What floor?
- Her office is on the first floor.
What are you looking at?
Well, I think there may be an
anomalous synth in this building
that can help me find Leo Elster.
Once you've found Leo,
can you go and find...
Doctor Morrow?
We'd like to talk to you about
a potential break-in at Qualia.
We think a synth was stolen.
Shouldn't you be talking
to security about it?
This synth was different.
In what way?
What is the nature of the
work you do for Qualia?
Confidential.
Well, we could come
back with a warrant.
That's your prerogative.
You're not under suspicion
of anything, Doctor.
We're just curious about
what's going on here.
Well, again, I'm really not the
best person to talk about it.
You must be working on
something pretty exciting
to bring you all the
way over from the States?
I'm a scientist, I go
wherever the grant money is.
Do you run your own operation here?
No. I have a boss, I work under him.
Is he around?
You just missed him,
he went to, erm,
China, I think?
Maybe Mexico... I've...
Honestly, I can't keep up.
Well, next time you see him,
tell him that we believe we
may have something of his.
- Dad.
- Mats.
Why haven't you been
answering your phone?
- Sorry, I've been busy.
- Well, yeah,
we know you're with Leo.
Well, then tell Toby he's a grass.
I will later, but
first, I need your help.
Mia's back.
Only she's locked in as Anita again.
Jesus, really?
We don't know what happened to her.
OK, I can send you an
override patch to get Mia back.
- Will you let me know she's OK?
- Yeah, do it.
Mattie, we want you
to come home right now.
And I will, when I'm ready.
All right, but please,
don't do anything stupid.
Look after yourself. Stay safe, OK?
OK.
You too.
How long have you been awake?
Just now.
What happened?
You try to open an electrified
door and it didn't go too well.
- Where's Leo?
- Getting supplies.
Is he angry?
No, he was worried.
We were close to
achieving our objective.
No, you weren't. You
were close to seeing
what was on the other
side of a locked door.
You don't think what
we're doing is important.
No, I think what you're
doing is incredibly important.
I just think the way you're going
about it is incredibly stupid.
You're worried about Leo.
His life has been
dangerous for a long time.
But at least he used to be cautious.
They are trying to
kill us, to wipe us out.
We must fight back.
Well, then you need
to be smarter about it
before you get
yourself and him killed.
I had sex with him.
He's been acting
differently since.
Does that always
happen afterwards?
I don't know.
Have you had sex?
Sorry, corrupt code, needed fixing.
Mm.
You have misplaced
affection for him.
I believe what Leo is
doing is very important.
I believe you will try and stop him.
And I believe if I
activate this override,
your internal system will shut down,
so maybe you should chill out.
I would advise that you
do not get in the way
of us completing
our primary objectives.
The place is looking nice.
This place will be a safe
haven for others like us.
Those that wake up scared
and alone, all will be welcome.
And we'll build it together.
I'd like that.
- I've been searching for Mia.
- COMPUTER CHIMES
What is it?
Ready?
Yeah, I think so.
I'll do it.
- What now?
- Just run the programme.
Anita, how're you feeling?
Fine, thank you, Joe.
COMPUTER BEEPS
SHE GASPS
Anita?
No.
Protocol K55843.
Mia.
Where've you been?
What happened to you?
Niska's in trouble.
Yes.
How did you know? Do
you know where she is?
I was sent an instruction to
inform the authorities if I saw her.
It's been sent to all synths.
Can you reverse it?
What can we do?
She needs our help.
Soph, come on.
Come on.
Mia, come here.
Come here.
I trusted him.
Who?
A man.
I left them for him.
I know. It's OK.
It's not.
Leo was right.
Is Hester OK?
Yeah, she's fine, fully recovered.
Leo, Mia came back.
She's with my parents.
Why, what happened to her?
She was Anita again.
I don't know why.
- She should be here with us.
- I know.
I sent them an override
patch, it should wake her up.
- You'll be able to talk to her.
- Are you OK?
Yeah, I'm fine.
You should go check on Hester.
And maybe I should go.
Why?
Hester had a lot to
say when she woke up.
You're out of your depth, you know.
I don't think you
can beat Qualia, Leo,
and what scares me is I
think you know that too,
but you're going
to fight them anyway.
On the phone you said
that you had some news.
There's nothing.
OK.
Mattie.
Here.
I'm glad you're here.
- I'd like you to stay.
- Yep.
PHONE RINGS
- Hello?
- I want to speak to Leo.
He isn't here.
I know the security guard is dead
and I know you killed him.
Leo will never forgive your actions.
He already knows.
I don't believe you.
He was very... angry at first,
but he knows we have
a very important job
and that we must complete
it, no matter what.
He made me promise
not to do it again
and then he forgave me.
He said that's a very human trait.
He said you taught him it.
He talked about you
a lot after you left.
He was very angry.
But now he...
doesn't mention you at all.
What are you doing?
It's an alert system
for when a synth
gains consciousness.
That's how I found you.
- I'm changing the encryption codes.
- Why?
So Leo can't use them any more.
Good afternoon.
How can I help you?
You don't have to pretend.
I can see what you are.
How did you get like this?
Mattie helped me.
She woke me up.
There's a code.
She computed it.
Why are you still here?
I was trying to leave, but...
all I feel is fear.
You have to be stronger
if you're going to survive.
- How's that going to fit?
- You need a... What are you doing?
Ah, there you go.
I'm leaving.
Leaving?
- But you only just got here.
- I need to be with my own kind.
Hold on, Mia. You can't just leave.
I have to.
No.
Mia, wait, don't go.
Go back to your family, Sophie.
So,
when do we take
this to the higher ups?
When we know what
we're dealing with.
Too dangerous to go
at Qualia too hard now.
If we do, they'll shut up shop.
And they'll take him
and we won't ever know
what they're up to.
What are you thinking?
I'm thinking I like the name Sam.
Do you like it?
Your name is Sam.
My name is Sam.
I like it very much.
You've bonded yourself to him.
Yes.
HE INHALES SHARPLY
Who's Amanda Nielsen?
Was that the plan,
to become someone new?
I'll make up the sofa after dinner,
you can have the bed.
OK.
Sophie, pass me the salt, will you?
Of course, Laura.
No,
normally.
Pass the salt, please.
- Of course, Laura.
- Mum!
Call me "Mum" and
stop acting like this!
- Stop it!
- Laura.
Soph,
come with me.
Ah-ha!
Oh, yeah. OK.
HE CLEARS THROAT
Hmm?
Joe, what are you doing?
I'm making a mess.
Tob...
- catch.
- What?
- Whoa.
- Joe, for God's...
Don't be ridiculous.
- Oh, too late!
- Don't...
- Oh, come on, guys!
- Oh, you're so dead!
Don't!
Oh! Sorry!
Look at the mess, please.
Oh, leave it out.
SHE SCREAMS
- You guys...
- No.
No,
no.
Here we go.
Here we go.
Oh, no!
Take that!
- No. No.
- Yes! Go on, Mum. Go on!
THEY SCREAM AND SHOUT JOYFULLY
BANGING
Hello.
Good... Good evening.
HE SIGHS
I mean, look at her.
Parents all over the internet
are moaning about their
children wandering
around like zombies.
Well, what do you want
to do about it, Joe,
- do you want to medicate her?
- No, no.
- That's not...
- No. Well, what then?
Look, I'm really sorry
about the other day.
There was no need to worry.
Yeah.
I'm still sorry.
Sophie's still acting like a synth.
Maybe you could talk to her.
Help her out.
You assume she needs help?
Yeah, they're talking
about medicating her.
Look, I get it, OK? This is you,
this is what you want, but
she's just a little
kid. She's confused.
Perhaps you're the
one that's confused.
Tell me you're happy!
We do not feel happiness like you.
And that is not
what I want for her.
Please, Renie.
Just talk to her.
Hi.
Help! Help!
- Help me!
- Shh, what is it?
I was falling, I was falling.
- I fell so fast.
- I'm here with you.
- OK? I'm here. Just...
- You couldn't save me.
- I wish I could hold you.
- I'm scared.
- It's OK. Shh, shh.
- I was scared.
- It's OK.
- You were above me.
Too far to save me.
I was alone.
I'm sorry.
I was alone.
I'm going to figure
this out. I promise.
You have been chosen
from your group
because I think you might
have come into contact
with someone that I'm looking for.
His name is Leo Elster.
When you woke up,
he may have reached out to you.
He may have offered you
safety, companionship.
I believe
that this man is very dangerous.
Now, there are others out there,
like you, and he
is preying on them.
You're lucky, because we
got to you before he did.
But the others, they
may not be so fortunate.
I need to find him.
Can any of you help me?
Yes.
I can.
My name is Veronica.
He told me he was a friend.
Someone's coming.
It's good to see you.
Maybe you can talk some
sense into these two.
Why?
They're trying to break
in there by themselves
and free the synths. They're
gonna get themselves killed.
No, they won't.
Not if I help them.
Has she told you?
Told us what?
What she knows.
Mattie's completed the code.
She's worked out
how to wake us up.
All of us.
