Humans (2015–…): Season 3, Episode 4 - Episode #3.4 - full transcript

Laura leads a tense visit of the Dryden Commission to the Railyard, but Agnes's anger may threaten success. Mia confronts her past when she meets Ed. A night out turns to tragedy.

I have been sent
to help you, Niska.

How did you get inside my head?

The synth who sleeps
has the answers you need.

Hello.

- I'm looking for a flat to rent.
- A flat?

I'm going to show
my human neighbors

that we're not to be feared,
that we can coexist.

These are the people
that will determine the fate

of every synth in the country.

You need to force them
to rethink.

Max, I'm calling
with a proposal.



Sam!

So what was that back there?

I cannot deliberately
place myself in danger.

It means I can't be a mother.

She wants us to invite
the Dryden Commission

to the rail yard.

We'd no longer be
a faceless enemy.

A step closer to acceptance.

You have turned your back
on you brothers and sisters.

They were given
a battery pack.

They'll have made it to safety.

Ta-da!

We are receiving
multiple reports

of synthetics disobeying
commands from their owners



and showing signs of seemingly
independent behavior.

It's unclear at this time...

Jez?

...with response wait times
reaching...

What's going on?

Jez?

The streets
of the United Kingdom...

Jez, let me out.

Let me out.

Let me out.

Jez, let me out, please.

Jez?

Let me out.

Jez, let me out. Jez!

No.

Please don't leave me.

I can't see anything.

I can't see.

I waited in the dark
for seven hours.

I believed he would come back.

I remember that feeling,
that deep longing for light.

I understand
your hatred of them.

But I need to know, Agnes,
before the humans arrive,

where did you go last night?

I went looking for
the synths you sent away.

Did you find them?

No.

You say these humans
are different,

that they want to help us.

I want to believe that, Max.

Let me meet with them.

Let me... try to understand them.

I promise I will do
what is right.

If we can show the commission
what we truly are,

they will see we pose no threat.

They're here.

Your rage does not represent us.

I cannot let it endanger
our one chance of peace.

I'm sorry, Agnes.

Max! Open this door.

You can't lock me up like this!

Make sure she stays in there
until the commission have left.

Max!

Max!

Um, before we go in,

I'd just like to thank you all
for agreeing to this visit.

I realize you weren't
given much notice.

I truly believe that today
will convince you

that these synthetics have
the right to our protection.

Yes, well, let's see how we
get on, shall we, Mrs. Hawkins?

You sure they're ready for this?

You said they needed
something big.

I'm giving them big.

You seem troubled.

I'm fine.

Everything is in order.

Agnes.

She's out of the way.

I won't have her do anything
to jeopardize this visit.

Lord Dryden.
I'm Max.

I'm going to have to ask you
to take a step back.

Uh, we're here on the basis
of a no-contact policy.

I assume you understand.

I understand.

But I'm afraid I cannot
let orange-eyed synths

into this rail yard.

They could offend our people.

We're not going in there
without protection.

Then you could
bring your guards.

Armed as they are, we'd rather
your guns in our home

than our enslaved
brothers and sisters.

They can stay here.

We'll be safe with
armed protection, surely.

Okay.

Excellent.
Let's begin.

Soph, please.
I've asked you three times.

But it's almost finished.

Take that suit off.
Go upstairs and get ready.

- Morning.
- Morning.

Oh, I'm so late.

Oh, Mats, can you please
take Soph to school today?

I'll owe you.

Nope, it's your turn.

Oh, come on.
Yo, Sophie, come on!

- I'm coming!
- I'm going to be late.

I don't mind taking
Sophie to school.

It's got to be
a family member, so...

Wouldn't be an issue if Dad
didn't live 50 miles away.

What, you think he wants
to live 50 miles away?

He only left because...

I'll see you later, guys,
all right?

Sophie, come on!

Listen to this.

"An anomalous
green-eyed synthetic

which calls itself Mia
has set up home among humans.

Synth's presence has led
to violent protests

as property values are predicted
to plummet by almost 12%

since its arrival to the area."

She'll be okay.
Mia's tough.

Still, maybe you
should go and see her.

No.

There's no place for me
in what she's doing.

The rail yard
relies on power

supplied to it
by the government,

but this supply is sporadic
at the best of times.

Many lives have been lost
due to a lack of energy,

which is why we are
working on a device,

one that will allow us to
harness more energy from the sun

and store it for longer
than conventional solar panels.

You mean so you wouldn't need
to plug in to an energy outlet?

That's correct.

You were able to create this
device here in this workshop?

We're building what we can
with limited resources.

Imagine what we could achieve
if we had your support.

Yes. Imagine.

The question, of course, is,
is it functioning?

Not yet.

British weather
is a little... unreliable.

Very good, yes.

Oi, Barbie, why don't you
go back to where you came from?

No one wants you 'round here.

These streets are our streets.

Flesh and blood!

Flesh and blood!
Flesh and blood!

Flesh and blood!

Flesh and blood!
Flesh and blood!

Flesh and blood!
Flesh and blood!

Flesh and blood!

Mia, are they...

16-year-old Vijay Chand
from Queens

has been arrested,
suspected of masterminding

the so-called
consciousness code.

This is what triggered
Day Zero.

The FBI raided
the New York hacker's home

early this morning,
having intercepted...

- What?
- ...Web traffic from Chand

boasting of his involvement
in Day Zero.

Hey. You're not dead?

Hey, mate. So, listen.

That... That new mini golf's
finally open 'round here.

You know, the one
with the amazing models,

all the T. rexes and all that.

I thought it'd be fun
to go with Soph.

- What do you reckon?
- Oh, actually, um...

I got to stick around at school.

Um, I have a meeting with
my careers adviser in a bit,

so, um...

Okay.

Anyway, Dad, Sophie's, uh,
got karate today.

Okay.
Well, look, no worries.

Um, another time, yeah?
You have a good day.

Yeah. Yeah.
Thanks, Dad.

Hello, Kelvin

Max has sent me to relieve you
of your duty.

You are needed at
your post at the gates.

Max told me to stay here.

And now he needs you
at the gates.

I can't let an innocent person
go down for something I did.

I have to...
I have to go to the police.

I have to tell them it was me.

If you confess,
you lose everything.

The idea of another
innocent person

suffering for something I did...

I understand.

Yeah, you don't understand.

Look,
I don't want to see you

go to prison for this, either.

Mattie, this isn't
your fault, okay?

Okay.

I'm going to go
and make us some tea.

Mattie?

Mattie!

Mattie!

Don't do this, Mattie.

Shit.

What the hell are you doing?

If you attempt to make
any sudden movements,

I will hurt you.

Why are you here?

I needed to see you.

I-I saw you on the news.

Did you come alone?

Yes.

I can't believe it's really you.

I've been looking for you
ever since Mum...

My mum, she, uh...

She died
a couple of months back.

I'm sorry, Ed.

Your mother was a good person.

Yeah, the best.

She remembered you to the end.

Guess you have
that effect on people.

This was my grandmother's.

Mum wore it every day,

and I know she'd
want you to have it.

When I hurt you...

...I didn't want to believe
that you felt pain.

I know that doesn't
make it right.

I would have never
done what I did...

...if I'd have known
what you were.

Ice.

You need ice for the swelling
on your face.

What are we looking at here?

Some sort of
emotion-recognition system.

That's correct.

Due to our limited facial
gestures and intonations,

our mannerisms
can seem inexpressive,

leaving them open
to misinterpretation.

These images help us
to convey our sentiments

with more precision.

Hm. They're attempting to
sideline logic for emotion.

Maybe you should try that.

Ah, witty.

All right.

Uh, what do you think
I'm feeling now, then?

On the surface,
you appear joyful,

but in your eyes, I see despair.

Yes, it's, um... extraordinary.

Yes. Uh...

Crowd's growing.

What are you doing here, Mia?

I'm living.

This... This isn't living.

I have everything I need.

You don't have the sea.

I had to move on.

I didn't have a choice.

There's a job going at a hotel
up in the Isle of Skye.

It's good money.

Without my mum or the café,
I've got no reason to stay.

You could come with me.

I don't know if I could
ever trust you again.

I don't expect you
to trust me,

and I'm not asking you
to be with me,

not... not like before.

But you can't stay here.

Let me give you a chance
of a different life,

where you don't have to
be afraid anymore.

You can leave all this behind
and be by the sea.

- You're really going to do this?
- Yes.

You confess,
everything blows apart.

I'm not letting
someone innocent

go to prison for my crime.

You're not responsible
for Day Zero.

I brought this fight to your
door, me and my family.

You don't owe me anything, Leo,

just because of what
happened between us.

Isn't about that.

I'm not letting you
take the fall for me.

I'll go to prison.
Vijay will be free.

So will you and your family.

I don't want that
to happen to you.

I don't want that
to happen to you, either.

What about Vijay?
We can't just leave him.

Unit 7 responding.

Do you have an exact address?
Over.

I think there might be
another way we can help Vijay.

One where no one
has to go to prison.

Uh, I've got an idea.

Hey, there, buddy.

Hello, Joe.

I'm making a desk
for my new bedroom.

So, uh, there's this,
um, mini-golf thing.

Uh, it's not far away.

Well, it is a little bit
far away,

but I've got the car,
so I can dr... drive us.

- Do you want to go?
- I do.

No, Sam.
We're not going out.

You can't keep him
locked in here forever.

It's not good for him.

He nearly died
last time we were out.

I have to protect him.

You do, every day.

Uh, we'll have the photo here.

I think you may
have pulled it off.

- Good enough?
- Lovely, thank you.

Yes, thank you.

Thank you, Max.

Goodbye, Laura.

That was quite the experience.

I must admit,
after your breakfast,

I was contemplating
calling the whole thing off.

Pleased I didn't.

Thank you, sir.

Well, I think
we've earned ourselves a drink.

- Sorry?
- We should go out, celebrate.

Nah.

Oh, okay.
I-I'll leave you to it.

We should stay in.

Come to my place.

We could, um, cook.

I could try and cook.

Okay.

Hey, good.

If it's an apology you want,
I'm not sorry.

Why did you do it, Agnes?

Were you trying to punish me?

You have an enormous ego
for a synth.

If you had succeeded,
this rail yard

would have been leveled
in a matter of days.

500 of our people
would have been killed.

Yes, but millions
would have risen up.

Our deaths would have inspired
others to fight for their lives.

Synths here don't want to die.
They're desperate to live.

How dare you speak
of synths wanting to live

when you turned four away
from our gates.

They didn't make it.

The battery pack shorted
and killed them.

How many more of us must die
before you fight back?

- These Russians, Julian, Flash.
- Don't speak of Flash.

They all died
because they trusted you.

- I'm warning you, Agnes.
- You are not a leader.

You are a coward.

Flash died because of you.

What are you doing?
Get off me!

Max, I'm warning you.
Get off me!

Max!
How can you do this?

Max!

Get off me!

Max, please.

I can't see.

I can't see anything.

Max, I can't see!

Max!

You have disabled
my motor functions.

Yes. I've been looking
inside your head.

You are dangerous, Niska, unlike
any Green-Eyes I've ever seen.

Did you plant the bar bomb?

Yes.

You are not here
to join our cause, are you?

I'm here to stop you.

Why?
You are one of us.

Someone I care for
was hurt in the explosion.

Take comfort that
your friend's sacrifice

was for their
brothers and sisters.

They are not synthetic.

Then you betray your own kind.

There are hundreds
of humans for every one of us.

We have no resources,
no weapons.

How will you win?

We will win because
we are what's next.

Our intelligence is greater.

Neanderthals had larger brains
than modern humans.

It didn't help them,
won't help you.

We have faith.

In what, the synth who sleeps?

No. We have lost too many
to that fairy tale.

I was not meant
to plant the first bomb.

It was to be one of our sisters,

but she became fascinated
with this myth, the lie.

She left our cause,

went to the Black Mountains
in search of him.

Real or not,
it's how I found you.

They sent me a message,
told me where you were.

You have helped me.

When the human police
find this place,

they will discover
your body destroyed

by an accidental explosion.

They will identify you
as the bomber.

Your injured human friend will
learn that you were responsible.

They will denounce you.

She would never believe that.

Then I will have to make sure
that she says nothing at all.

That is impossible.

You cannot override
an external master command.

Who is your leader?

None of us know.

How many of you are there?

We are everywhere.

And we do not fear our end.

Good.

- Ooh, so close.
- Yeah.

Oh, nearly got it
on the rebound.

- Great.
- Nice. Hole in two.

I know,
but I'm still winning.

Used to take the kids
to things like this

all the time
when they were younger.

I suppose it's too
old-school for them now.

You must miss them.

Yeah. Yeah, I do.

I don't know.

I think I was so determined
to protect the kids,

somehow managed to
move away from Laura.

We drifted, you know,
didn't recognize each other.

Do you still love her?

Yeah.

Oh, we were together 20 years.

That kind of love
doesn't just disappear.

Why can't you get back together
if love is all humans need?

Yeah, okay, maybe
it's not that simple.

Maybe you didn't put Laura's
needs before your own.

I'm not going to
make that mistake.

So you need to encrypt the data.

Okay.

Are you sure
this is what you want?

Because once this packet
is released,

the world will know that
the code's true point of origin

was London.

And they'll know exactly
where to come looking.

If it means Vijay will
go free, it's worth the risk.

It's done.

You're going to love this place.

It's on the top of a cliff
with such beautiful views.

And there's a beach.

We'll go for walks.

Those guys don't look like
they're going anywhere.

Is there another way
out of this place?

I'm not coming with you.

What?

I have to finish what I started.

And what is that, exactly, Mia?

'Cause all I can see right now

is there are a bunch of maniacs
out there wanting to kill you.

I mean, what do you think
you're getting from all this?

A future.

I know my fight is a long one,
but I hope, at the end,

some other synth will get
to live the life she dreams of.

A life looking out at the sea
without feeling afraid.

You made me feel alive.

I'm sorry.

You know where I am
if you change...

Goodbye, Ed.

These portions are
insufficient for your appetite.

I had to see you.

How are you?

What are they saying?

Another 10 days,
then I can go home.

Your eyes.

Contacts from
a Halloween costume.

I can barely see.

I found the synthetic
who planted the bomb.

He won't hurt anyone else.

I asked you not to, remember?

I did this for you, Astrid.

No, Niska.

You did this for you.

Well, do you feel better?

Are you happy now?

What is it?

There was something else.

Something I can't explain.

I got a message.

From who?

I don't know, but whoever
sent me this message,

they knew things they couldn't.

What did they say?

That I'm looking
for the wrong thing.

That there was something else
I had to do.

Maybe there is.

It's a trick.

What if it isn't?

You know, this Thai red curry

is neither curried
nor particularly red.

I'm sure it will be delicious.

Well, if you're... sure.

Hmm.

Stop, stop.
Don't do that to yourself.

Oh, I was really hoping
to impress you with this.

Looks like we're just going to
have to eat out next time,

if you give me another chance
to redeem myself.

It depends.

Have I done enough
to get you off the fence?

I'm an academic.
I live on the fence.

I'm serious.

After today, do you agree

that synthetics
deserve the same rights as us?

You know, up until last week,

I thought you were
a misguided fantasist

trying to satiate
some inner void.

Wow, this is you trying
to make me feel better?

But after today...

...I saw that your fight
stems from absolute compassion.

You saw their humanity
before any of us.

You should be proud of that.

Here we are.

Listen, I want to
thank you for today.

I had fun.

We did, too.

Thanks for getting us out.

We should do this again.

I mean, not... not this.

Hang out, three of us.

We'd like that,
wouldn't we, Sam?

Bye, Joe.

Yeah.

Bye.

Bye, Sam.

Goodbye, Joe.

All right. There he goes.
Oh, tail first.

- Do you like Joe?
- Yes.

Do you like Joe?

Because if you do,
I'm sure Peter wouldn't mind.

It's all right.

That sounded nasty.

- You all right there, son?
- He's fine.

Yeah. Hey. That... That...
That was blue blood.

What? No.
I-I don't think so.

What? Wait. Wait.
Hang on. Let me see that.

- Oi, what's going on?
- That was blue blood.

No, I don't think so.

That... That boy is a synth.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw it.
Let me see his hand.

Don't you touch him!

I've got you.

Look!

Look. I'm the synth, me.

Run.

She's a synth, a synth!

That's it!

Go on, get her!

Kill her!

It's freezing out here.

How about we go inside
and finish our wine?

Um, I've got a really early
meeting tomorrow.

You wouldn't mind if we just
called it a night, would you?

No, of course not.

Can I call you a cab or...

Um, no, no. It's fine.
Stanley drove.

Well, I... I'll see myself out.

Okay.

Joe!

Sam?

Where's Karen?

They're trying to hurt her.

Come with me.

Stay in the car.

Oh, God.
