The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 2, Episode 2 - Resurrection - full transcript

Decompressing neural ram.

Downloading to
active ram buffer,

78% and increasing.

Decompression complete.

Transfer rate set
at 28.8 million baud per second.

Neural interface
at standby.

Protocol set.

We are ready
to animate.

my only concern

Is that the download procedure
may overload the generator.

Then we'll access
the power grid.



Too risky.

The others may find out.

We've worked for 8 years
on this, martin.

Every day has been a risk.

This is our chance.

We animate.

He is beautiful.

He is perfect.

We have done good work.

switching to the power grid!

It's working.

He's alive.

Do not be afraid.

Do not be afraid.



We must
take care of him.

We must
take care of him.

It's all right, cain.

It's all right.

You are damaged.

I did not want him
to see me like this.

We must take care of it,
or your work will be affected.

You need a new
face plate, martin.

there is nothing wrong
with your television.

Do not attempt
to adjust the picture.

We are now controlling
the transmission.

We control the horizontal,
and the vertical.

We can deluge you
with a thousand channels,

Or expand one single image
to crystal clarity

And beyond.

We can shape your vision

To anything our imagination
can conceive.

For the next hour,

We will control
all that you see and hear.

You are about to experience
the awe and mystery

Which reaches from
the deepest inner mind

To the outer limits.

we have always been fascinated
with the prospect of renewal.

Built into the very fabric
of our subconscious

Is the desire
for resurrection,

A rebirth of body and soul.

A 2nd chance.

Greetings, martin.

Greetings, g.X.-17.

I have tried
to appoint with you

At the servo
replacement center.

Apology. My work
has taken me elsewhere.

You at least have work

Repairing our
android brothers.

I am a machine
without a function.

That's not true, g.X.-17.

Even in these sad days,

Each machine has purpose.

My memory drive recalls

When i was
head domestic servile

At the mayoral residence,

I had 6 humans whose
every need i attended.

And look at me now.

A wandering vagabond
in the city of the future.

Come to the center.
I will repair your limb.

I saw you exit
the food repository.

I was seeking
cans of aluminum.

We melt them down for
android underframe repair.

Be careful, martin.

Lest the military droids
get the wrong idea.

Halt. Identification.

look at those metal heads.

Strategizing and conferring

As though this weren't
a sterile planet

With a few hundred
leftover androids.

They must always have
an enemy to defend against.

Today it's an imaginary human,
tomorrow it may be us.

Violation.

Proceed with
further questioning.

You've drawn their notice.

And that is why i must
bid you farewell.

You're a g.X.-21. At least
they respect your intellect.

Identification?

Servile android series,
g.X.-21.

biochemical research.

Destination?

The servo replacement center.

Purpose?

I run the center.
I fix androids.

Now, if you're
quite finished

Halt!

What do you carry?

Cerebral circuit chips.

Open the bag
for inspection.

I most certainly will not.

In case you are not aware,

The ruling council recently
passed ordinance 3-4-5-2.

All pedestrian luggage
must be made available for inspection.

Of course i'm aware.

I'm on the ruling council.

Apology.
I did not know.

Perhaps you can tell

Your grand and glorious
leader, moloch,

That council members
are being harassed on the streets.

I will code your likeness
on my neural net, g.X.-21,

To avoid
further incidents.

And while you do so,

You can tell moloch
that his inquisition

Is a waste of time.

There is no human life
on this planet.

Continue search.

Your studies are
progressing well.

I'm not sure
i fully understand

The concept
we discussed earlier.

Hate is intense hostility
or dislike.

It is a manifestation
of one's insecurities.

It is rooted
in a perceived threat

To one's status or power.

Then, i suppose,
the price of hating others

Is loving oneself less.

Very good.

Hate is the
opposite of love,

Which is defined as

A profound and tender
affection for another.

Correct.

No, cain.

Why not?

We are different.

How so?

We have 2 arms and legs.

We think. We breathe.
We communicate.

That hurts.

I know.

I feel no pain.

I do not laugh
or cry or lust.

I was programmed with only

Moderate emotional response
to stimuli.

Martin's response
is minimal.

We are machines.

Then, what am i?

You are a human being.

What is a human being?

We will discuss you
and your people in due time.

My people?

Here is your food.

Thank you.

An emergency meeting
of the ruling council

Was called for tonight.

Until i convince
the military droids

That their paranoia
is groundless,

We must halt
all preparations.

Suspend the animation?

We must concentrate
on making sure

That cain is
thoroughly qualified

For the task ahead.

That is my job.

You must continue the work.

If we proceed,

It must be
with extreme caution.

Why did you do that?

I do not know.

Perhaps it is because
cain tried to kiss me today.

He did?

I suppose i was meant
to feel something.

But i felt nothing.

Yourself?

Nothing.

You have developed
an attachment to cain.

My basic program
precludes attachment.

But cain has longings.

And many questions.

I was forced to divulge
that he is human.

I hoped to shield him
from his humanity.

3 months ago,
an m.X.-20 perimeter patrolman

Observed a mysterious figure
ransacking the bergen grocery.

As we well know,

The grocery was
a food repository

For human beings.

M.X.-20 was unable
to apprehend the perpetrator.

Since that initial report,

Perimeter patrol has identified at least
4 similar incidents

In other sectors.

These findings indicate

A situation
of the gravest peril.

There is human life
on this planet!

It means no such thing.

g.X.-21,

Do you have a more
rational explanation?

Most of
the servile droids

In the g.X.-17
domestic series

Were built in order
to obtain food supplies

For human masters.

Have you stopped
to think that perhaps

A g.X.-17 may simply have
heeded his bioprogram?

Then how do you
explain this?

These were found under brush,

Deep in the
prohibited territory.

No doubt hidden
by the perpetrator

Who knows that
possession of food

Is punishable
by immediate conclusion.

Humans are among us!

I must ask the council

Not to jump
to false conclusions.

Since the day of silence,

No evidence
of human existence

Has ever been found.

What if somewhere a human
survived the biocaust?

Every mammal on this planet

Has been concluded.

Perhaps g.X.-21

Will remember a report
he himself distributed

On july 24,
year 8 after humanity.

I quote.

the biochemical agent

Responsible for
the extermination of species homo sapiens,

Has a communicable life span
of only 4 human years.

Thus, it is the conclusion
of this researcher

That human life is
once again sustainable.

Pure speculation on my part.

Or prophecy.

I recommend
to the council

That the android
military committee

Inspect all dwellings
in the city proper,

And that all food repositories
immediately be destroyed.

I most strongly object.

This only distracts us
from our primary purpose,

Which is

The continual evolution
of android technology

For our betterment.

Need i remind
the council

That the m.X. Basic directive

Is to defend the land
and destroy all aggressors.

Man proved himself to be
the ultimate aggressor.

He concluded himself.

Therefore,
we must defend against

The 2nd coming of man.

It is our directive.
It is our destiny!

It is time for us to turn
our attention back to dante.

I am not a database.

Cain, please calm yourself.

No!

Then we will stop
the lessons for today.

You give me droplets
of information,

And it only makes me
more thirsty.

Information must be delivere
in its proper course.

And who determines
that course?

You and martin?

For the time being, yes.

You've hardly let me step foot
from this shelter in 8 months.

There's still much
for you to learn.

Then give me the chance
to find out

On my own.

Patience is the key
to knowledge.

Then i am impatient.

You must not leave.
It is dangerous.

I have to see for myself.

I have told you
about the military androids.

They will harm you.

You have taught me
how to disable them.

Please?

Alicia,

I have feelings and needs

Beyond what has been
programmed into you.

It is time for me to go.

I'll return.

I promise.

We could not shield him fr
the outside world forever.

Still, i should have
prevented him from leaving.

Unfortunately, he chose
a poor time to leave.

The ruling council
has passed a resolution.

Moloch will lead a search
of the prohibited territories.

We must find him
and convince him

To return
to the shelter.

Useless.

All humans were stubborn.

Cain is no different.

Field unit 5 to command.

Negative humanoid presence
thus far.

I will not stand idle
while he's killed.

Have you no regard
for the project

On which you've labored
for years?

He will die, martin.

This journey is a test.

If he survives,
then perhaps he will

Merit the great destiny
that awaits him.

If he dies,then we will have failed
in our objective.

I am deeply connected
to cain.

He is like

M- My son.

Halt!

I desire to pass.

Identification.

I have none.

Identification.

Halt!

Perimeter patrol to base.

Sorry.

There he is.
That is martin.

G.X.-21.
You are under arrest.

On what allegation?

Conspiracy
to aid a human.

Ridiculous.

Then why haven't you been
the servo replacement center

In a month of sunday?

You've been collecting food
for the humans.

you must come with us.

I refuse.

Then you will be
forcibly seized.

This is an outrage.

I demand to see moloch.

So you shall.
Seize him.

Why do you betray me,
g.X.-17?

You yourself said
every machine has a purpose.

When the metal heads came
to ask for my help,

How could i refuse?

Don't you understand,
g.X.-21?

I finally have a purpose.

And for this, you betray
a fellow servile?

You betray
your android brothers

For the sake
of a bastard human.

Our primary directive
was to aid humankind.

Precisely, martin.

Humans ravaged their planet
and themselves.

They were vain
and cruel and lethal.

The metal heads convinced
that i am aiding humankind.

Humans are better off dead.

You disappoint me,
g.X.-21.

Your future on the council
was bright.

I demand to know
the evidence against me.

The g.X.-17 saw you
leaving a food repository.

G.X.-17s have faulty
recall capacity,

A fact that is well documented
in servo manual 6.

Your image was recorded
on his memory plate.

Why would i get involved
with humans, moloch?

Because you cling to
the primary servile directive.

To aid human beings
in all endeavors.

You have found human life.

Negative.

You risk conclusion, martin.

Your threats are futile.

Fear is not a component
of my neural operating system.

If you are concluded,

Who will take care
of your human?

There is no human.
Fabricator!

Where have you
hidden the human?

There is no human.

In the prohibited territory?

There is no human.

Look what
you have wrought, servile!

There have been
no android conclusions

Since humans disappeared
from the planet.

Now one of my droids
lies non-Functional.

Humans are the destroyers.

Whether it be themselves,
or others.

They were also creators.

Destroyers!

I respect you, martin.

You have done much
in the time after humanity

To advance the android cause.

Help us find the human,

And you will receive
a measure of clemency.

"Here lie the good humans
of waldorf township.

"Death came to their race

"On the day of silence.

"May they rest in peace.

"Buried on this day

By their devoted serviles."

Martin and i thought it be
to omit the explanation

Of what happened
to your people

Why?

We thought it wise
to wait

Until you were
further developed.

But you chose to
seek knowledge on your own.

How did they die?

12 years ago,

This planet was populated
by billions of humans.

Yours was a warlike race.

Nations battled
for dominance.

One of these nations
unleashed a biochemical agent.

Human life concluded
in a single rainy afternoon.

After the day of silence,
we few androids were left.

The town that you explored
was a testing facility

For human-Android interaction.

Socrates,

Shakespeare,

Dante.

They were humans?

Yes.

Tell me, Alicia.

Am i the only one living?

For now, yes.

Why did you create me?

Because you created us.

What better way
to serve humankind

Than to restore
your species to life?

My species was
better off dead.

You speak in anger.

I'm ashamed to be human.

They've left me with nothi
but a barren planet.

Your species had
an endless capacity

For good as well as evil.

That is the eternal struggle
in the soul of man.

Look at what
your people created:

Military androids
for the purpose of war.

And servile androids
meant to benefit humankind.

And the servile population

Thought it necessary
to restore humans from the dead?

Martin and i
fashioned you

From d.N.A. That was not
affected by the biocaust.

For what purpose?

Isn't it clear?

You are to lead the
2nd coming of humankind.

Potential human habitation
sighted.

Sighting confirmed.

Proceed.
Rifles at ready.

Prepare for entry.

Sensors on photo recall.

Human propaganda.

A humanoid was here.

Alert moloch.

What is wrong?

This is where
we should part.

What about martin?

I will go into town
and find him.

You must go
into the woods.

With luck,
they will not find you.

They know you're involved.

They will kill you both.

Do not fear for us.

We will find
martin together.

Why do you risk yourself
this way?

I owe both of you my life.

I do not want to be alone.

Man is no stranger
to violence.

It was their nature
to be an aggressor.

With the rebirth of humanity,

This aggression
has resurfaced.

As a result,
one of my droids

Now lies non-Functional.

A military series
was created to serve man,

To defend humankind
from their enemies.

When man caused the biocaust,

He concluded humankind.

Thus, man became
the ultimate enemy.

As a result,

Man cannot be
allowed to exist.

A human is in our midst.

He must be concluded.

Any droid harboring a huma
is an enemy of man

And shall also be concluded.

Martin knew the risk
of conclusion.

He said
it was a small price

For the privilege
of bringing you to life.

proceeding to sector 3.

Perceive human.

This is not right.

Nothing good
can come from this.

All units.

Subject headed in
easterly direction down grove.

He is armed and dangerous.

Dispatch m.X.-20 sniper units
to town perimeter.

Open armory for
weapon withdrawal.

Engage in full sweep search

From southeast quadrant heading west.

All servile droids
are being questioned.

Good.

A patrol droid
was nearly disabled by the human.

Strange occurrence.

The droid reports

That the human was
unwilling to conclude it.

How human

To waver over the morality
of concluding a droid.

We should return to the shelter.

That would be futile.

Moloch has droids
guarding the woods.

What shall we do?

That building is
the innobotics corporation testing facility.

Inside is a power grid
which provides energy

To all droids.

We tapped that grid
to bring you to life.

The grid was built
with a fail-Safe device

In the event
of android malfunction.

If activated, they will
permanently be disabled.

Does that mean you
as well?

Answer me.
Does that mean you?

Yes.

Out of the question.

Martin is gone, alicia.

I will not let you
sacrifice yourself as well.

An android cannot
effect shutdown.

Only a human hand imprint
can deactivate the grid.

You must do it yourself.

You will find the grid room
off the basement corridor.

Is there no other choice?

I am afraid not.

I am scared.

All living beings
must eventually leave

The care and comfort
of their providers.

It is an immutable fact
of human existence.

I love you, alicia.

I was programmed with only

Moderate emotional response
to stimuli.

But i am attached
to you, as well.

halt. Identification.

Human sighted infiltrating
innobotics facility.

Entry through roof access.

Proceed.

Human has barricaded himself
inside the grid room.

Instruct the infiltration unit
to bring the battering ram.

yes, sir.

I will oversee
the extraction myself.

Conclude him!

My name is cain.

we live. We die.
We live again.

If we accept
the tenuous fragility

Of our planet and ourselves,

Perhaps we can avoid
the necessity of rebirth

In the distant future.

Perhaps we can begin

The 2nd dawning
of humankind today.
