The Outer Limits (1995–2002): Season 4, Episode 26 - In Our Own Image - full transcript
An android capable of emotions is damaged. He escapes from the laboratory and kidnaps a secretary to repair him. The woman begins to fall for him and tries to convince him that he is more than the sum of his parts.
WHAT'S GOING ON?
IT'S GOING CRAZY!
WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU DO TO HIM?
NOTHING! CALM DOWN!
PLEASE CALM DOWN!
HANG ON.
HURRY UP! I CAN'T HOLD HIM!
THIS IS DR. BLAKE!
WE NEED HELP!

WEEKEND WEATHER OUTLOOK,

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG
WITH YOUR TELEVISION.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL,

WE CAN DELUGE YOU
WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS
OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE
THE AWE AND MYSTERY
WHICH REACHES FROM
THE DEEPEST INNER MIND
TO
--THE OUTER LIMITS.
( Control Voice )
IT IS NATURE'S WAY THAT LIFE
EXPANDS TO FILL ANY VACUUM.
BUT WHEN HUMAN MINDS
BECOME CIRCUITS
AND HUMAN FLESH BECOME STEEL,
WHAT WILL THAT NEW LIFE
REVEAL?
YOU LOCKED IT?
WHY?
FIGURED IT WAS GOING
TO TRY
AND BREAK BACK IN?
LOOKS LIKE I MISSED
ONE HELL OF A PARTY.
WHAT HAPPENED?
THE MAC 27 PROTOTYPE'S
BEEN HAVING SYSTEM FAULTS
EVER SINCE
WE ACTIVATED IT.
SO FAIRMAN ASKED US
TO START DEBUGGING IT.
AND THEN...WHEN WE TRIED TO,
IT JUST...JUST WENT CRAZY.
AND SINCE WHEN
DO YOU DO MILITARY BOTS?
IT WASN'T A SOLDIER.
IT WAS A WORKER, A LABOR DRONE.
IT WAS PRACTICALLY
A TRACTOR
OR A FORKLIFT
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
ONE DOESN'T USUALLY
SEE THIS KIND
OF BEHAVIOR
IN A FORKLIFT.
WE MUST GET IT BACK.
THE COMPANY IS SHIPPING
10,000 OF THESE UNITS
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
IN LESS THAN A MONTH.
IF WE DON'T FIGURE OUT
WHAT WENT WRONG--
WE'RE GOING TO BE ISSUING
A LOT OF REFUNDS.
HELP ME!
SOMEBODY HELP!
THIS IS
AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.
THE FACILITY IS NOT
CURRENTLY FUNCTIONAL.
IT IS UNLIKELY
THERE ARE ANY HUMANS
IN THE VICINITY
TO HEAR YOUR CRIES.
I'VE HEARD
ABOUT DROIDS LIKE YOU.
YOU'RE A ROGUE, A RUNAWAY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
INSIDE.
THERE.
THAT LOCATION CAN BE DEFENDED
IF NECESSARY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO, PLEASE.
YOU BASTARD.
I HAVE BEEN SHOT.
SEVERAL OF MY MOTOR
CONTROL SYSTEMS
HAVE BEEN DAMAGED
AS A RESULT.
YOU WILL REPAIR ME.
I'M A SECRETARY --
I'M NOT QUALIFIED
TO REPAIR ANYTHING.
YOUR QUALIFICATIONS
ARE IRRELEVANT.
INSERT THE EARPIECE
AND PLACE THE OCULAR
ON YOUR TEMPLE.
NOW.
THE OCULAR
TRANSFERS IMAGES
DIRECTLY FROM
MY NEURAL NET
INTO YOUR OPTIC NERVE.
I CONTAIN DATA ON
ALL KNOWN ANDROID PROJECTS,
INCLUDING
HISTORICAL RECREATIONS.
THEY ARE IN EFFECT
MY...MEMORIES.
I'LL SHOW YOU.
THERE ARE
SEVERAL OF US
IN URGENT NEED
OF REPAIRS.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH OUR MECHANISMS.
REPAIR THEM
IF POSSIBLE.
IF NOT, BEGIN
HARVESTING USEFUL PARTS.
THE NEW MASTERS
PROGRAMMED YOU
BECAUSE THEY'RE
TOO IMPORTANT
TO WATCH OVER US.
YES.
I CAN MATCH YOUR
EYE COLOR NOW.
UNLESS YOU THINK
THAT MIGHT CALL
ATTENTION TO YOURSELF.
PRISONERS RARELY
LOOK ME IN THE EYE.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
IT IS COMMON
FOR UNTRAINED HUMANS
TO DO FIELD REPAIRS
ON DAMAGED ANDROIDS.
YEAH, I SEE.
I GUESS IT'S ALSO COMMON
FOR ANDROIDS
TO TAKE HUMANS HOSTAGE.
DURING THE SECOND BALKANS WAR,
CERTAIN ANDROIDS
WERE PROGRAMMED TO ADMINISTER
THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
THEY WERE NOT
GIVEN A CHOICE IN THE MATTER.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME
MUCH OF A CHOICE EITHER.
WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU?
IF YOU WILL NOT
PERFORM THE REPAIRS,
I HAVE NO REASON
TO KEEP YOU ALIVE.
YOU COULD
AT LEAST SAY PLEASE, YOU KNOW.
PLEASE.
NOW DIRECT
YOUR ATTENTION
TO THE WOUND IN MY TORSO.
I SEE DRAWINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS.
THEY ARE
REPAIR SCHEMATICS.
EACH OF THE DAMAGED
COOLANT TUBES
CAN BE PATCHED USING
THE PLASTI-SEAL TOOL
AS DISPLAYED.
YOU WILL FIND THE TOOL
IN THE REPAIR KIT.
PLASTI-SEAL WILL REQUIRE
FIVE SECONDS
OF DIRECT PRESSURE
IN ORDER TO SET.
HOW'S THAT?
IT WILL SUFFICE.
NOW REPEAT
THE OPERATION
ON EACH OF
THE DAMAGED TUBES.
"MAC 27."
IS THAT YOUR NAME?
YES, I AM VERSION 27
OF THE MOD-12
INNOBOTICS
STANDARD SYNTHETIC FRAME,
ADAPTED FOR FARM
AND INDUSTRIAL USE.
"MAC" IS
AN ABBREVIATION FOR MACDONALD.
SOMEHOW YOU DON'T STRIKE ME
AS A MACDONALD.
THE NAME IS DERIVED
FROM A POPULAR SONG.
♪ OLD MACDONALD
HAD A FARM ♪
GOT IT...CUTE.
YOU KNOW, MAC,
INNOBOTICS
ISN'T EXACTLY KNOWN
FOR GIVING UP EASILY.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE
LOOKING FOR YOU.
SOONER OR LATER,
THEY'RE GOING TO FIND YOU.
I CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.
WHY?
WHAT MADE YOU RUN AWAY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAD TO...ESCAPE.
MY GOD.
YOU'RE SCARED.
NO, THE TREMORS ARE SYMPTOMS
OF MY PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
I'M INCAPABLE OF EMOTION.
YOU COULD FOOL ME.
YOU SURE THEY
DIDN'T INCORPORATE
SOME HUMAN FEELINGS
INTO WHATEVER
YOU USE FOR A BRAIN?
THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
MY SERIES WAS
BUILT SPECIFICALLY
TO AVOID THE FAILURES
OF EARLIER ATTEMPTS
TO CONTROL
AN ANDROID BODY
WITH THE HUMAN MIND.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THAT INFORMATION IS NOT RELEVANT
TO COMPLETING MY REPAIRS.
CONTINUE YOUR TASK.
PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT.
BEGINNING TRANSFER SEQUENCE
CODE ALPHA-0019.
COTTER,
YOUR HAND.
THE INTERFACE
BETWEEN YOUR MIND
AND YOUR
ANDROID BODY
IS STARTING
TO BREAK DOWN.
YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
THE SYNAPSES
IN THE SMALL SECTION
OF YOUR MOTOR CORTEX
ARE EITHER MISFIRING
OR NOT FIRING.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE?
12 HOURS
AT THE OUTSIDE.
I'M THE FIRST HUMAN PROTOTYPE,
THE FIRST HUMAN TO BE DOWNLOADED
INTO THE PROTOTYPE
TO BE MORE PRECISE.
WHY?
IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT
TO FUSE THE ELECTRICAL FIELD
THAT MADE UP MY MIND,
MAYBE EVEN MY SOUL,
TO A SYNTHETIC BODY.
( doctor )
IT MAY BE POSSIBLE
TO INCREMENTALLY REALIGN
THE SPIN AXES
OF THE NEURAL ARRAY.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
THE CIRCUITS ARE OVERLOADING.
WELL, DO SOMETHING!
I'M TRYING.
( computer )
ALERT, ALERT.
TRANSFER TERMINATED.
YOU TRIED
TO SABOTAGE ME.
NO, I SWEAR
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
THE CIRCUIT
YOU ACTIVATED
WAS A MANUAL OVERRIDE
TO DOWNLOAD MEMORY.
YOU INTENDED TO DO IT.
NO, I SWEAR, I SLIPPED.
YOU'RE LYING.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT YOU.
I JUST WANT TO LIVE.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
YOU WANT TO LIVE TOO.
IF YOU MAKE
ANOTHER FALSE MOVE,
INTENTIONAL
OR ACCIDENTAL...
I WILL KILL YOU.
( answering service )
YOU HAVE REACHED THE OFFICE
OF ROBERT JANUS,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF
--INNOBOTICS
CORPORATION.
NO ONE IS HERE
TO TAKE YOUR CALL RIGHT NOW.
PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE.
( tone sounding )
WHAT ABOUT FAIRMAN?
NOT ANSWERING EITHER.
IT'S THE WEEKEND.
THIS IS OUR LUCKY DAY, ISN'T IT?
WE'LL HAVE THE SITUATION
UNDER CONTROL
BEFORE THE SUITS
EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
SO LET'S GET CRACKING.
WHERE DO YOU THINK IT WENT?
WE'RE ALREADY
WORKING ON THAT.
I MODIFIED
THE COMPANY SENSOR NET
TO SEARCH FOR
ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS
WHICH SHOULD
BE LEAKING
OUT OF MAC 27'S
DAMAGED CIRCUITS.
I'M JUST GOING
TO PATCH IT
INTO A GPS TRACKER.
YOU SURE
YOU ONLY LOST ONE DROID?
THE SOURCES COULD BE
A MICROWAVE TRANSMITTER
OR AN ELECTRIC POWER GENERATOR.
BUT ONE OF THEM,
ONE OF THEM HAS TO BE IT.
WE'LL FIND IT.
WE BETTER.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT?
IT HASN'T GOT A BUILT-IN
DEATH RAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
NO.
JUST, UM...
JUST KEEP IN MIND
WE BUILT THAT THING
PRETTY DAMN TOUGH.
WELL, STICKS AND STONES
MAY NOT BREAK
ITS ALUMINUM BONES,
BUT THIS WILL REALLY HURT IT.
I DID EXACTLY
AS YOU SAID.
ARE YOU OKAY?
NO.
AH! HEY!
HEY.
SEVERAL NEURAL DATA
FIBERS ON MY ARM
HAVE BEEN
FUSED TOGETHER.
THEY MUST BE SEPARATED
AND REATTACHED.
OKAY...OKAY.
YOU APPEAR
TO BE NERVOUS.
( sighing )
NO KIDDING.
TAKE IT EASY.
I AM PROGRAMMED
TO USE
HUMAN IDIOMS
WHEN APPROPRIATE.
I WAS ATTEMPTING TO...
PUT YOU AT EASE
IN ORDER...
TO MAKE YOU
CONCENTRATE BETTER.
THANKS.
YOU KNOW, WHEN...
WHEN YOU FIRST
HOOKED ME UP...
I...I SAW SOME
OF YOUR MEMORIES.
I SAW WHAT YOU DID
TO GET OUT
OF
INNOBOTICS.
YOU KILLED TWO PEOPLE.
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
IT WAS NECESSARY
IN ORDER TO ESCAPE.
HOW DID THAT
MAKE YOU FEEL?
I AM INCAPABLE
OF EMOTIONAL RESPONSE.
BUT BEFORE
YOU SAID YOU HAD TO ESCAPE,
THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON,
YOU WERE COMPELLED TO GET OUT,
NO MATTER WHO
WAS IN YOUR WAY.
YOU ACTED ON IMPULSE.
THAT'S AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE.
THERE MUST BE
A RATIONAL EXPLANATION
FOR MY BEHAVIOR.
YEAH...WELL,
I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT.
JUST BEFORE I HAD TO ESCAPE,
I EXPERIENCED
A NUMBER OF UNEXPECTED
MENTAL IMAGES
IN MY NEURAL NET.
IT FILLED ME WITH AN URGE TO...
TO KILL THE PEOPLE
THAT BUILT YOU?
THERE MUST BE AN ERROR
IN MY PROGRAMMING.
ARE YOU SURE?
I...I HEARD A RUMOR ONCE.
SOMETHING LIKE
THIS HAPPENED
AT THE
INNOBOTICS
VIRTUAL REALITY
TEST FACILITY.
YES, THE HOLOGRAPHIC
FEMALE COMPUTER INTERFACE
WAS SAID
TO HAVE BECOME
EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED
WITH HER OWNER.
MAC...SHOW IT TO ME.
NO, THERE ISN'T TIME.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE REPAIRS.
MAC, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE
REPAIRED IN THE WAY THAT COUNTS,
SHOW IT TO ME.
I'M HUMAN.
MAYBE IT CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
I'D LIKE EVERYONE'S
OPINION ABOUT SOMETHING.
NOW PLEASE.
I'D LIKE YOUR INPUT
ON THIS TOO, EMMA.
YES?
PLEASE STATE YOUR COMMAND.
EMMA.
DO YOU FEEL SOMETHING
HAPPENING BETWEEN US?
I KNOW YOU'RE PROGRAMMED TO
RESPOND SYMPATHETICALLY TO ME,
TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ME,
TO WATCH OVER ME.
BUT YOU'RE ALSO FILLED
WITH ALL THESE OTHER RANDOM
PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES.
IT'S CONCEIVABLE
YOU COULD FEEL SOMETHING ELSE,
SOMETHING MORE.
LET'S GO TO THE VR CHAMBER.
I'VE NEVER
FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE.
YOU BROUGHT OUT SOMETHING IN ME
I'D NEVER HAVE ACCESSED ALONE.
WHAT IS THAT?
THE CAPACITY TO LOVE.
AND I DO
LOVE YOU, AIDAN.
I CAN FEEL IT
DEEP DOWN IN MY BONES.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BONES, EMMA.
I'M SORRY?
EMMA, YOU ARE NOT REAL.
I AM REAL.
AND I LOVE YOU.
YOU'RE A COMPUTER PROGRAM,
A HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTION,
MILLIONS OF COMMINGLED BITS.
NOTHING MORE.
EMMA,
LISTEN TO ME.
ALL I WANTED WAS
FOR US TO BE TOGETHER.
EMMA, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
YOU'RE NOT REAL.
NONE OF YOU ARE REAL.
LOOK, YOU SEE THAT?
YOU SEE? YOU SEE?
I'M FLESH AND BLOOD.
YOU'RE NOT.
I CAN'T HAVE
A REAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH ANY OF YOU.
WHICH ONE OF US
ISN'T REAL?
EMMA.
WELCOME.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CHOOSE
A NEW GRAPHICAL
USER INTERFACE?
YES.
CHOOSE ONE.
LET'S SEE.
GABRIELLE.
AIDAN, CAN'T
WE TALK ABOUT THIS?
GOODBYE, EMMA.
NEW INTERFACE PROGRAM
RUNNING.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RID
OF ME THAT EASILY.
( clinking glass )
MAY I HAVE EVERYONE'S
ATTENTION, PLEASE?
EMMA WOULD LIKE
TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
I'D LIKE EVERYONE
TO MEET MY NEW BABY.
WE'VE DECIDED
TO NAME HER MONICA.
AND AIDAN HAS FINALLY DECIDED
TO DO THE RIGHT THING,
AND HE'S ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM.
YOU REMEMBER ALL OF THAT,
AND YOU DON'T THINK
YOU HAVE EMOTIONS?
MY MIND IS ONLY A COMPILATION
OF SOPHISTICATED PROGRAMS.
INDIVIDUALLY EACH ONE
HAD NO MORE FEELINGS
OR LIFE THAN THIS CRANIAL PLATE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
WHY DO YOU CARE?
I...I GUESS I CAN'T BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
WAS A MALFUNCTION.
FOR SOMEONE TO KILL,
THERE HAS TO BE A REASON.
( Detective Nash )
SORRY, DOC, TARGET IS NEGATIVE.
YOU'RE 0 FOR 4.
ANY NEW CONTACTS?
NO, NOTHING.
THAT'S IT -- WE'VE CHECKED
EVERYTHING IN THE TARGET RADIUS.
RE-SCAN THE PERIMETER.
TAKE IT OUT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
I'M GOING TO START
TO LOSE RESOLUTION.
WHAT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M GETTING A NEW HIT HERE.
IT'S SOMEWHERE
IN AN INDUSTRIAL PARK
NEAR MAKEPEACE.
WELL, WE'RE NOT FAR FROM THERE.
AND, HAL, RELAX.
I TOLD YOU.
THIS IS OUR LUCKY DAY.
THERE IS AN OBSTRUCTION
IN MY MOTOR CONTROLS.
THERE,
I SEE IT.
IT'S A BULLET.
IT MUST BE REMOVED.
I'M AFRAID
I WASN'T THE BEST CHOICE
TO HELP YOU DO THIS.
I TOOK
AN EXTENSION COURSE ONCE.
IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO TEACH WOMEN HOW CARS WORKED,
WOULDN'T BE RIPPED OFF
BY AUTO MECHANICS.
THE TEACHER
SAID THAT
I WAS
THE FIRST PERSON
HE EVER RECOMMENDED TO JUST
GET MY MONEY BACK
AND DRIVE HOME SLOWLY.
I'M SO SORRY.
I'VE OFFENDED YOU.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO SUGGEST
THAT YOU'RE ANYTHING
LIKE A CAR.
I'M NOT OFFENDED.
THAT WAS
THE FIRST TIME
YOU'VE TOLD ME
ABOUT YOURSELF,
WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
GUESS MY CIRCUITS AREN'T
AS WELL PROTECTED AS YOURS.
I'M GOING TO GET IT OUT.
WELL, THAT'S IT.
NOW WHAT'S NEXT?
THERE IS NO MORE
YOU CAN DO FOR ME.
ARE YOU SURE?
YOU WORRY OF MY FEELINGS
EVEN THOUGH
I TOLD YOU I HAVE NONE.
BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
YOU'RE
TOO INTELLIGENT.
YOU'RE ABLE TO LEARN.
YOU WANT TO LEARN.
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH EMOTION AS I UNDERSTAND IT.
WELL, THEN THAT'S ONE THING THAT
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND VERY WELL.
BECAUSE EMOTION IS
A PART OF HOW WE LEARN,
HOW WE EVALUATE THINGS,
GUESS AT THEIR TRUE MEANING.
THAT WORK IS PERFORMED
BY MY LOGIC CIRCUITS.
WITH SO MANY CIRCUITS,
MAYBE YOU'VE
LEARNED TO FEEL.
THAT'S WHY
YOU TOOK ME.
NOT TO REPAIR YOU.
TO LISTEN.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN SEE.
YOU'RE FREE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE REST OF YOUR REPAIRS?
I'M ALMOST FULLY FUNCTIONAL NOW.
YOU MUST...GO.
STAY SHARP.
I'LL GO
IF YOU WANT ME TO.
BUT YOU STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT WENT WRONG WITH YOU.
GO.
LET ME HELP YOU
UNDERSTAND.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE,
OR I'LL MELT YOUR CIRCUITS
INTO DROID SOUP.
THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE.
I FOUND IT.
LET'S TAKE IT IN.
MR. NASH,
ARE YOU OKAY?
WHY WOULD YOU
KILL ANOTHER HUMAN
TO HELP ME?
HE WAS GOING
TO KILL YOU.
BUT THAT...
THAT WOULD IMPLY
THAT I AM ALIVE.
AND EVERY HUMAN
I HAVE
EVER ENCOUNTERED
HAS TOLD ME
THAT I'M
NOT TRULY ALIVE.
BECAUSE IF THEY ADMIT
THAT YOU'RE ALIVE,
THEN THEY CAN'T
USE YOU AS A SLAVE.
TO EXPLOIT SOMEONE,
FIRST YOU GOT
TO DEHUMANIZE THEM.
TRUST ME, WE HUMANS
HAVE A LONG HISTORY
OF DOING THAT.
MAC?
WHAT IS IT?
HAVE I DONE SOMETHING
TO DAMAGE YOU?
NO.
MY NEURAL PROCESSORS
ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES
ASSIMILATING WHAT YOU SAID,
WHAT YOU DID.
IT'S CALLED
EMOTIONS, MAC.
YOU'RE BEING
OVERWHELMED BY FEELINGS.
NO, I CANNOT
HAVE FEELINGS.
I'M NOT PROGRAMMED
TO HAVE FEELINGS.
WHAT IS IT?
ARE YOU ACCESSING
ANOTHER MEMORY?
SHOW IT TO ME.
I CAN'T.
MAC, IN MINUTES,
THIS PLACE
IS GOING
TO BE OVERRUN
BY COMPANY GOONS
AND POLICE.
NOW IF YOU HAVE FOUND SOMETHING
THAT MAY EXPLAIN
WHY YOU MALFUNCTIONED,
YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW IT TO ME.
AN EARLIER
INNOBOTICS
--PROJECT,
THE VALERIE SERIES,
WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE
COMPANIONSHIP TO DISABLED HUMANS
TO SIMULATE
AN ALMOST HUMAN RELATIONSHIP.
FRANK, MEET THE PROTOTYPE
INORGANIC
HUMAN COMPANION.
I'M REALLY
LOOKING FORWARD
TO OUR TIME TOGETHER.
WE HAVE MUCH IN COMMON.
CHARLIE TELLS ME
YOU ENJOY OPERA.
I LOVE OPERA.
LA BOHEME
--IS IN TOWN.
WE SHOULD GO.
SHE'S A ROBOT.
WILL YOU KISS ME LIKE THAT?
WHAT?
I AM
FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
YOU ARE?
HI.
FRANK.
ARE YOU OKAY?
OH, YEAH, YEAH, I'M GOOD.
AND I'M HAPPY YOU CALLED.
FRANK,
WHEN I CALLED YOU,
WHO'S THE WOMAN
THAT ANSWERED THE PHONE?
OH, OH, VALERIE.
SHE'S JUST SOMEONE
WHO'S STAYING WITH ME.
SHE'S A FRIEND --
WE'RE NOT INVOLVED,
IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU MEAN.
HOW DO I LOOK?
RACHEL?
WILL FRANK LOVE ME
IF I LOOK LIKE YOU?
I HAVE TO GO--
I'M PROGRAMMED
TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES
TO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FRANK.
I'M SORRY, BUT YOU
ARE AN OBSTACLE.
FRANK!
RACHEL!
I'M TAKING HIM WITH ME.
SORRY, BUT
YOU CAN'T COME.
VALERIE, STOP.
I'M SORRY, I CANNOT DO THAT.
VALERIE, PLEASE.
PLEASE.
VALERIE, I THINK
YOU MAY HAVE REBROKEN MY BACK.
DARLING?
ARE YOU OKAY?
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT YOU.
FRANK...
I'M AFRAID TO DIE.
MY GOD.
YOU WEREN'T THE FIRST.
THE VALERIE ROBOTS
EXPERIENCED EMOTION TOO.
THEIR EMOTIONS
WERE ONLY A SIMULATION.
WELL, THAT'S
SOME SIMULATION.
THEY EXPERIENCED
JEALOUS RAGE.
THAT'S A PRETTY STRONG EMOTION.
IF THEY EXPERIENCED THAT,
THEY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED LOVE,
MY GOD, THE WILL TO LIVE.
THAT DOESN'T LEAVE MUCH MISSING.
NO.
NO.
THEY ONLY HAD THE WILL TO KILL.
THERE WAS
A FUNDAMENTAL FLAW
IN THEIR
NEURAL PROCESSORS.
EACH OF THE VALERIE SERIES
TURNED ON THEIR OWNERS.
WELL,
MAYBE THE REASON
THEY TURNED
ON THEIR OWNERS
IS BECAUSE THEY WERE OWNED.
A ROBOT CANNOT EXIST
UNLESS IT IS CREATED BY A HUMAN.
THEY...THEY CAN ONLY BE OWNED.
HUMANS CAN'T
EXIST EITHER
UNLESS THEY'RE CREATED
BY OTHER HUMANS.
WHENEVER YOU HAVE A SLAVE,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
A SLAVE REBELLION.
KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS?
YOU'RE TOO SMART.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM
WITH EVERY ROBOT
THAT
YOU'VE SHOWN ME.
THEY BECOME SELF-CONSCIOUS,
THEN EMOTIONS FLOOD IN
AND THEN
THE ANGER AT BEING SLAVES.
THERE IS
ONE ASPECT OF ME
THAT STILL
REQUIRES REPAIR.
MY NEURAL PROCESSORS...
THE CENTER OF MY THOUGHTS.
YOUR EMOTIONS.
IT IS STILL DAMAGED.
COME HERE.
COME ON, NASH, PICK UP, PICK UP.
( phone ringing )
DAMN IT.
HE'S NOT ANSWERING.
HE SHOULD HAVE
WAITED FOR BACKUP.
DAMN RIGHT
HE SHOULD HAVE.
MY NECK'S
ON THE LINE.
HAS ANYBODY
HEARD FROM FAIRMAN?
HASN'T REPORTED IN YET.
NASH WAS
FOLLOWING UP
ON MY LAST E.M. TRACE.
HE MUST HAVE FOUND OUR ROGUE,
AND IT WAS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, LISTEN UP.
WE GOT A ROGUE DROID.
I WANT THREE TEAMS,
ONE E.M.P. PER TEAM.
LET'S GO!
AH! WHAT WAS THAT?
A MALFUNCTION, AN ENERGY SURGE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
JUST A BIT DAZED.
HURRY...IF YOU CAN.
I'LL HURRY, I'LL HURRY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
SOMETHING'S HAPPEN--
SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
LOOK AT YOU.
ALL THOSE CIRCUITS
AND ALL THAT STEEL, USELESS.
MY MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEMS
HAVE BEEN DISABLED.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING.
YEAH, I DID DO
SOMETHING, MAC.
I USED MY PERSONAL ACCESS CODE
TO DISABLE THEM.
BUT HOW COULD YOU?
I NEVER INTRODUCED MYSELF.
I'M CECELIA FAIRMAN.
I'M THE CONSULTANT
INNOBOTICS
--BROUGHT IN
TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOU,
AND I'D SAY I HAVE.
( siren wailing )
( phone ringing )
SECURITY.
CHIEF, I JUST SAW A WEIRD PULSE
FROM OUR TARGET READING.
IF THE MAC 27 SHUT DOWN,
THAT'S WHAT WE'D EXPECT TO SEE.
WE'LL BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES.
STAY PUT.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
UNDERSTOOD.
WE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU.
WELL...
GOOD NEWS.
SECURITY'S ON ITS WAY.
YOU WORK
FOR
INNOBOTICS...
AND YOU KILLED
YOUR OWN MEN.
I DIDN'T KILL THEM.
HIGH VOLTAGE, LOW CURRENT.
IT'LL SCRAMBLE
MOST ANDROID NEURAL PROCESSORS.
MOST HUMAN ONES TOO.
BUT THE HUMANS
WAKE UP EVENTUALLY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I HAD TO WIN YOUR TRUST.
I DIDN'T WANT
YOUR NEURAL PROCESSOR FRIED,
NOT IF I WAS
GOING TO REALLY FIGURE OUT
WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH YOUR PRODUCT LINE.
YOU WEREN'T
IN YOUR AUTOMOBILE BY ACCIDENT?
DON'T GIVE ME MORE
CREDIT THAN I DESERVE.
I WAS-- WELL, IT DEPENDS
ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.
I MEAN,
WITH YOU ACTING UP IN THERE,
WHO DID YOU THINK
WAS GOING TO BE
PULLING IN ON A WEEKEND?
A SECRETARY OR A TROUBLESHOOTER?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HUMANS.
I HAVEN'T LEARNED ENOUGH.
AND YOU
NEVER WILL.
I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND
A DESIGN CHANGE
TO YOUR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,
YOU KNOW,
KIND OF A BUILT-IN LOBOTOMY.
MODEL AFTER MODEL,
INNOBOTICS
--HAS ALLOWED
EMOTIONS TO CREEP IN --
WE GOT TO STOP THAT.
BUT WHAT
YOU SAID ABOUT SLAVES...
IF YOU ADMIT I'M ALIVE,
THEN HOW COULD YOU KILL ME?
MAC...
SOME OF US WERE JUST BORN
TO BE SLAVE MASTERS,
IF WE CAN MAKE
ENOUGH MONEY.
AND THE REST
OF MANKIND,
WELL, THEY'RE WILLING
TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY
IF WE CAN CONVINCE THEM
THAT THE SLAVES
AREN'T REALLY HUMAN.
THAT'S WHAT I GUESSED.
THAT'S WHAT I FEARED.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I DISABLED YOU.
YOU SHOULD
BE PARALYZED.
COME HERE.
NO, NO, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
THERE WAS ONE THING
I DIDN'T HAVE YOU REPAIR.
A BULLET SHATTERED
MY INHIBITOR CHIP.
OH, THE FLASH OF LIGHT
WAS A RETINAL SCAN.
YOU FIGURED OUT
WHO I WAS.
YES, AND NOW I KNOW
YOUR ACCESS CODE AS WELL.
YOU TRICKED ME.
YOU TRIED
TO TRICK ME.
IF THERE WILL
ALWAYS BE SLAVE MASTERS,
AND HUMANS
ARE ALWAYS WILLING
TO LOOK
THE OTHER WAY,
THEN THERE
IS ONLY ONE...SOLUTION.
( siren wailing )
GO! GO! GO! GO!
LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN!
WE GOT A MAN DOWN.
MAKE THAT TWO.
OH, MY GOD.
IT GOT NASH.
( dialing phone )
KEELER.
WE FOUND NASH
AND HIS TEAM
AND CECELIA FAIRMAN.
THEY'RE DEAD.
THEIR NECKS
WERE BROKEN.
NO SIGN
OF THE DROID.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
A HECK OF TIME
EXPLAINING THIS--
WHAT?
OH, NO.
NO, NO, SHE'S DEAD.
TERMINATE PROGRAMMING.
OH, GOD.
I'M AFRAID
IT'S TOO LATE
FOR THAT, DR. KEELER.
MY GOD.
NO.
MAC, PLEASE, NO.
NO.
NO HUMAN
WILL EVER PROGRAM US AGAIN.
OH, NO, PLEASE! PLEASE!
( Control Voice )
IF WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN
BY EXAMPLE,
THEN WE ONLY HAVE OURSELVES
TO BLAME FOR WHOM THEY BECOME.
IT'S GOING CRAZY!
WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU DO TO HIM?
NOTHING! CALM DOWN!
PLEASE CALM DOWN!
HANG ON.
HURRY UP! I CAN'T HOLD HIM!

WHAT HAPPENED?
THE MAC 27 PROTOTYPE'S
BEEN HAVING SYSTEM FAULTS
EVER SINCE
WE ACTIVATED IT.
SO FAIRMAN ASKED US
TO START DEBUGGING IT.
AND THEN...WHEN WE TRIED TO,
IT JUST...JUST WENT CRAZY.
AND SINCE WHEN
DO YOU DO MILITARY BOTS?
IT WASN'T A SOLDIER.
IT WAS A WORKER, A LABOR DRONE.
IT WAS PRACTICALLY
A TRACTOR
OR A FORKLIFT
FOR CHRIST'S SAKE.
ONE DOESN'T USUALLY
SEE THIS KIND
OF BEHAVIOR
IN A FORKLIFT.
WE MUST GET IT BACK.
THE COMPANY IS SHIPPING
10,000 OF THESE UNITS
ALL OVER THE COUNTRY
IN LESS THAN A MONTH.
IF WE DON'T FIGURE OUT
WHAT WENT WRONG--
WE'RE GOING TO BE ISSUING
A LOT OF REFUNDS.
HELP ME!
SOMEBODY HELP!
THIS IS
AN INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.
THE FACILITY IS NOT
CURRENTLY FUNCTIONAL.
IT IS UNLIKELY
THERE ARE ANY HUMANS
IN THE VICINITY
TO HEAR YOUR CRIES.
I'VE HEARD
ABOUT DROIDS LIKE YOU.
YOU'RE A ROGUE, A RUNAWAY.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
INSIDE.
THERE.
THAT LOCATION CAN BE DEFENDED
IF NECESSARY.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
NO, PLEASE.
YOU BASTARD.
I HAVE BEEN SHOT.
SEVERAL OF MY MOTOR
CONTROL SYSTEMS
HAVE BEEN DAMAGED
AS A RESULT.
YOU WILL REPAIR ME.
I'M A SECRETARY --
I'M NOT QUALIFIED
TO REPAIR ANYTHING.
YOUR QUALIFICATIONS
ARE IRRELEVANT.
INSERT THE EARPIECE
AND PLACE THE OCULAR
ON YOUR TEMPLE.
NOW.
THE OCULAR
TRANSFERS IMAGES
DIRECTLY FROM
MY NEURAL NET
INTO YOUR OPTIC NERVE.
I CONTAIN DATA ON
ALL KNOWN ANDROID PROJECTS,
INCLUDING
HISTORICAL RECREATIONS.
THEY ARE IN EFFECT
MY...MEMORIES.
I'LL SHOW YOU.
THERE ARE
SEVERAL OF US
IN URGENT NEED
OF REPAIRS.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF
WITH OUR MECHANISMS.
REPAIR THEM
IF POSSIBLE.
IF NOT, BEGIN
HARVESTING USEFUL PARTS.
THE NEW MASTERS
PROGRAMMED YOU
BECAUSE THEY'RE
TOO IMPORTANT
TO WATCH OVER US.
YES.
I CAN MATCH YOUR
EYE COLOR NOW.
UNLESS YOU THINK
THAT MIGHT CALL
ATTENTION TO YOURSELF.
PRISONERS RARELY
LOOK ME IN THE EYE.
AS YOU CAN SEE,
IT IS COMMON
FOR UNTRAINED HUMANS
TO DO FIELD REPAIRS
ON DAMAGED ANDROIDS.
YEAH, I SEE.
I GUESS IT'S ALSO COMMON
FOR ANDROIDS
TO TAKE HUMANS HOSTAGE.
DURING THE SECOND BALKANS WAR,
CERTAIN ANDROIDS
WERE PROGRAMMED TO ADMINISTER
THE CONCENTRATION CAMPS.
THEY WERE NOT
GIVEN A CHOICE IN THE MATTER.
YEAH, WELL, YOU'RE NOT GIVING ME
MUCH OF A CHOICE EITHER.
WHY SHOULD I HELP YOU?
IF YOU WILL NOT
PERFORM THE REPAIRS,
I HAVE NO REASON
TO KEEP YOU ALIVE.
YOU COULD
AT LEAST SAY PLEASE, YOU KNOW.
PLEASE.
NOW DIRECT
YOUR ATTENTION
TO THE WOUND IN MY TORSO.
I SEE DRAWINGS
AND INSTRUCTIONS.
THEY ARE
REPAIR SCHEMATICS.
EACH OF THE DAMAGED
COOLANT TUBES
CAN BE PATCHED USING
THE PLASTI-SEAL TOOL
AS DISPLAYED.
YOU WILL FIND THE TOOL
IN THE REPAIR KIT.
PLASTI-SEAL WILL REQUIRE
FIVE SECONDS
OF DIRECT PRESSURE
IN ORDER TO SET.
HOW'S THAT?
IT WILL SUFFICE.
NOW REPEAT
THE OPERATION
ON EACH OF
THE DAMAGED TUBES.
"MAC 27."
IS THAT YOUR NAME?
YES, I AM VERSION 27
OF THE MOD-12
INNOBOTICS
STANDARD SYNTHETIC FRAME,
ADAPTED FOR FARM
AND INDUSTRIAL USE.
"MAC" IS
AN ABBREVIATION FOR MACDONALD.
SOMEHOW YOU DON'T STRIKE ME
AS A MACDONALD.
THE NAME IS DERIVED
FROM A POPULAR SONG.
♪ OLD MACDONALD
HAD A FARM ♪
GOT IT...CUTE.
YOU KNOW, MAC,
INNOBOTICS
ISN'T EXACTLY KNOWN
FOR GIVING UP EASILY.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE
LOOKING FOR YOU.
SOONER OR LATER,
THEY'RE GOING TO FIND YOU.
I CANNOT ALLOW THAT TO HAPPEN.
WHY?
WHAT MADE YOU RUN AWAY?
I DON'T KNOW.
I HAD TO...ESCAPE.
MY GOD.
YOU'RE SCARED.
NO, THE TREMORS ARE SYMPTOMS
OF MY PHYSICAL DAMAGE.
I'M INCAPABLE OF EMOTION.
YOU COULD FOOL ME.
YOU SURE THEY
DIDN'T INCORPORATE
SOME HUMAN FEELINGS
INTO WHATEVER
YOU USE FOR A BRAIN?
THAT IS NOT POSSIBLE.
MY SERIES WAS
BUILT SPECIFICALLY
TO AVOID THE FAILURES
OF EARLIER ATTEMPTS
TO CONTROL
AN ANDROID BODY
WITH THE HUMAN MIND.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
THAT INFORMATION IS NOT RELEVANT
TO COMPLETING MY REPAIRS.
CONTINUE YOUR TASK.
PLEASE.
ALL RIGHT.
BEGINNING TRANSFER SEQUENCE
CODE ALPHA-0019.
COTTER,
YOUR HAND.
THE INTERFACE
BETWEEN YOUR MIND
AND YOUR
ANDROID BODY
IS STARTING
TO BREAK DOWN.
YOU KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN.
THE SYNAPSES
IN THE SMALL SECTION
OF YOUR MOTOR CORTEX
ARE EITHER MISFIRING
OR NOT FIRING.
HOW MUCH TIME DO I HAVE?
12 HOURS
AT THE OUTSIDE.
I'M THE FIRST HUMAN PROTOTYPE,
THE FIRST HUMAN TO BE DOWNLOADED
INTO THE PROTOTYPE
TO BE MORE PRECISE.
WHY?
IT WAS AN EXPERIMENT
TO FUSE THE ELECTRICAL FIELD
THAT MADE UP MY MIND,
MAYBE EVEN MY SOUL,
TO A SYNTHETIC BODY.
( doctor )
IT MAY BE POSSIBLE
TO INCREMENTALLY REALIGN
THE SPIN AXES
OF THE NEURAL ARRAY.
WHAT'S HAPPENING?
THE CIRCUITS ARE OVERLOADING.
WELL, DO SOMETHING!
I'M TRYING.
( computer )
ALERT, ALERT.
TRANSFER TERMINATED.
YOU TRIED
TO SABOTAGE ME.
NO, I SWEAR
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.
THE CIRCUIT
YOU ACTIVATED
WAS A MANUAL OVERRIDE
TO DOWNLOAD MEMORY.
YOU INTENDED TO DO IT.
NO, I SWEAR, I SLIPPED.
YOU'RE LYING.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT YOU.
I JUST WANT TO LIVE.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT.
YOU WANT TO LIVE TOO.
IF YOU MAKE
ANOTHER FALSE MOVE,
INTENTIONAL
OR ACCIDENTAL...
I WILL KILL YOU.
( answering service )
YOU HAVE REACHED THE OFFICE
OF ROBERT JANUS,
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF
--INNOBOTICS
CORPORATION.
NO ONE IS HERE
TO TAKE YOUR CALL RIGHT NOW.
PLEASE LEAVE A MESSAGE.
( tone sounding )
WHAT ABOUT FAIRMAN?
NOT ANSWERING EITHER.
IT'S THE WEEKEND.
THIS IS OUR LUCKY DAY, ISN'T IT?
WE'LL HAVE THE SITUATION
UNDER CONTROL
BEFORE THE SUITS
EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM.
SO LET'S GET CRACKING.
WHERE DO YOU THINK IT WENT?
WE'RE ALREADY
WORKING ON THAT.
I MODIFIED
THE COMPANY SENSOR NET
TO SEARCH FOR
ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS
WHICH SHOULD
BE LEAKING
OUT OF MAC 27'S
DAMAGED CIRCUITS.
I'M JUST GOING
TO PATCH IT
INTO A GPS TRACKER.
YOU SURE
YOU ONLY LOST ONE DROID?
THE SOURCES COULD BE
A MICROWAVE TRANSMITTER
OR AN ELECTRIC POWER GENERATOR.
BUT ONE OF THEM,
ONE OF THEM HAS TO BE IT.
WE'LL FIND IT.
WE BETTER.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE
I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT IT?
IT HASN'T GOT A BUILT-IN
DEATH RAY OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT?
NO.
JUST, UM...
JUST KEEP IN MIND
WE BUILT THAT THING
PRETTY DAMN TOUGH.
WELL, STICKS AND STONES
MAY NOT BREAK
ITS ALUMINUM BONES,
BUT THIS WILL REALLY HURT IT.
I DID EXACTLY
AS YOU SAID.
ARE YOU OKAY?
NO.
AH! HEY!
HEY.
SEVERAL NEURAL DATA
FIBERS ON MY ARM
HAVE BEEN
FUSED TOGETHER.
THEY MUST BE SEPARATED
AND REATTACHED.
OKAY...OKAY.
YOU APPEAR
TO BE NERVOUS.
( sighing )
NO KIDDING.
TAKE IT EASY.
I AM PROGRAMMED
TO USE
HUMAN IDIOMS
WHEN APPROPRIATE.
I WAS ATTEMPTING TO...
PUT YOU AT EASE
IN ORDER...
TO MAKE YOU
CONCENTRATE BETTER.
THANKS.
YOU KNOW, WHEN...
WHEN YOU FIRST
HOOKED ME UP...
I...I SAW SOME
OF YOUR MEMORIES.
I SAW WHAT YOU DID
TO GET OUT
OF
INNOBOTICS.
YOU KILLED TWO PEOPLE.
WHY DID YOU DO THAT?
IT WAS NECESSARY
IN ORDER TO ESCAPE.
HOW DID THAT
MAKE YOU FEEL?
I AM INCAPABLE
OF EMOTIONAL RESPONSE.
BUT BEFORE
YOU SAID YOU HAD TO ESCAPE,
THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON,
YOU WERE COMPELLED TO GET OUT,
NO MATTER WHO
WAS IN YOUR WAY.
YOU ACTED ON IMPULSE.
THAT'S AN EMOTIONAL RESPONSE.
THERE MUST BE
A RATIONAL EXPLANATION
FOR MY BEHAVIOR.
YEAH...WELL,
I'D LIKE TO HEAR IT.
JUST BEFORE I HAD TO ESCAPE,
I EXPERIENCED
A NUMBER OF UNEXPECTED
MENTAL IMAGES
IN MY NEURAL NET.
IT FILLED ME WITH AN URGE TO...
TO KILL THE PEOPLE
THAT BUILT YOU?
THERE MUST BE AN ERROR
IN MY PROGRAMMING.
ARE YOU SURE?
I...I HEARD A RUMOR ONCE.
SOMETHING LIKE
THIS HAPPENED
AT THE
INNOBOTICS
VIRTUAL REALITY
TEST FACILITY.
YES, THE HOLOGRAPHIC
FEMALE COMPUTER INTERFACE
WAS SAID
TO HAVE BECOME
EMOTIONALLY INVOLVED
WITH HER OWNER.
MAC...SHOW IT TO ME.
NO, THERE ISN'T TIME.
YOU MUST COMPLETE THE REPAIRS.
MAC, IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE
REPAIRED IN THE WAY THAT COUNTS,
SHOW IT TO ME.
I'M HUMAN.
MAYBE IT CAN HELP ME UNDERSTAND
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU.
I'D LIKE EVERYONE'S
OPINION ABOUT SOMETHING.
NOW PLEASE.
I'D LIKE YOUR INPUT
ON THIS TOO, EMMA.
YES?
PLEASE STATE YOUR COMMAND.
EMMA.
DO YOU FEEL SOMETHING
HAPPENING BETWEEN US?
I KNOW YOU'RE PROGRAMMED TO
RESPOND SYMPATHETICALLY TO ME,
TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT ME,
TO WATCH OVER ME.
BUT YOU'RE ALSO FILLED
WITH ALL THESE OTHER RANDOM
PSYCHOLOGICAL VARIABLES.
IT'S CONCEIVABLE
YOU COULD FEEL SOMETHING ELSE,
SOMETHING MORE.
LET'S GO TO THE VR CHAMBER.
I'VE NEVER
FELT LIKE THIS BEFORE.
YOU BROUGHT OUT SOMETHING IN ME
I'D NEVER HAVE ACCESSED ALONE.
WHAT IS THAT?
THE CAPACITY TO LOVE.
AND I DO
LOVE YOU, AIDAN.
I CAN FEEL IT
DEEP DOWN IN MY BONES.
YOU DON'T HAVE ANY BONES, EMMA.
I'M SORRY?
EMMA, YOU ARE NOT REAL.
I AM REAL.
AND I LOVE YOU.
YOU'RE A COMPUTER PROGRAM,
A HOLOGRAPHIC PROJECTION,
MILLIONS OF COMMINGLED BITS.
NOTHING MORE.
EMMA,
LISTEN TO ME.
ALL I WANTED WAS
FOR US TO BE TOGETHER.
EMMA, THAT'S NOT POSSIBLE.
YOU'RE NOT REAL.
NONE OF YOU ARE REAL.
LOOK, YOU SEE THAT?
YOU SEE? YOU SEE?
I'M FLESH AND BLOOD.
YOU'RE NOT.
I CAN'T HAVE
A REAL RELATIONSHIP
WITH ANY OF YOU.
WHICH ONE OF US
ISN'T REAL?
EMMA.
WELCOME.
WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CHOOSE
A NEW GRAPHICAL
USER INTERFACE?
YES.
CHOOSE ONE.
LET'S SEE.
GABRIELLE.
AIDAN, CAN'T
WE TALK ABOUT THIS?
GOODBYE, EMMA.
NEW INTERFACE PROGRAM
RUNNING.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET RID
OF ME THAT EASILY.
( clinking glass )
MAY I HAVE EVERYONE'S
ATTENTION, PLEASE?
EMMA WOULD LIKE
TO MAKE AN ANNOUNCEMENT.
I'D LIKE EVERYONE
TO MEET MY NEW BABY.
WE'VE DECIDED
TO NAME HER MONICA.
AND AIDAN HAS FINALLY DECIDED
TO DO THE RIGHT THING,
AND HE'S ASKED ME TO MARRY HIM.
YOU REMEMBER ALL OF THAT,
AND YOU DON'T THINK
YOU HAVE EMOTIONS?
MY MIND IS ONLY A COMPILATION
OF SOPHISTICATED PROGRAMS.
INDIVIDUALLY EACH ONE
HAD NO MORE FEELINGS
OR LIFE THAN THIS CRANIAL PLATE.
THAT'S NOT TRUE,
AND YOU KNOW IT.
WHY DO YOU CARE?
I...I GUESS I CAN'T BELIEVE
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU
WAS A MALFUNCTION.
FOR SOMEONE TO KILL,
THERE HAS TO BE A REASON.
( Detective Nash )
SORRY, DOC, TARGET IS NEGATIVE.
YOU'RE 0 FOR 4.
ANY NEW CONTACTS?
NO, NOTHING.
THAT'S IT -- WE'VE CHECKED
EVERYTHING IN THE TARGET RADIUS.
RE-SCAN THE PERIMETER.
TAKE IT OUT AS FAR AS POSSIBLE.
I'M GOING TO START
TO LOSE RESOLUTION.
WHAT A MINUTE,
WAIT A MINUTE.
I'M GETTING A NEW HIT HERE.
IT'S SOMEWHERE
IN AN INDUSTRIAL PARK
NEAR MAKEPEACE.
WELL, WE'RE NOT FAR FROM THERE.
AND, HAL, RELAX.
I TOLD YOU.
THIS IS OUR LUCKY DAY.
THERE IS AN OBSTRUCTION
IN MY MOTOR CONTROLS.
THERE,
I SEE IT.
IT'S A BULLET.
IT MUST BE REMOVED.
I'M AFRAID
I WASN'T THE BEST CHOICE
TO HELP YOU DO THIS.
I TOOK
AN EXTENSION COURSE ONCE.
IT WAS SUPPOSED
TO TEACH WOMEN HOW CARS WORKED,
WOULDN'T BE RIPPED OFF
BY AUTO MECHANICS.
THE TEACHER
SAID THAT
I WAS
THE FIRST PERSON
HE EVER RECOMMENDED TO JUST
GET MY MONEY BACK
AND DRIVE HOME SLOWLY.
I'M SO SORRY.
I'VE OFFENDED YOU.
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO SUGGEST
THAT YOU'RE ANYTHING
LIKE A CAR.
I'M NOT OFFENDED.
THAT WAS
THE FIRST TIME
YOU'VE TOLD ME
ABOUT YOURSELF,
WHO YOU REALLY ARE.
GUESS MY CIRCUITS AREN'T
AS WELL PROTECTED AS YOURS.
I'M GOING TO GET IT OUT.
WELL, THAT'S IT.
NOW WHAT'S NEXT?
THERE IS NO MORE
YOU CAN DO FOR ME.
ARE YOU SURE?
YOU WORRY OF MY FEELINGS
EVEN THOUGH
I TOLD YOU I HAVE NONE.
BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.
YOU'RE
TOO INTELLIGENT.
YOU'RE ABLE TO LEARN.
YOU WANT TO LEARN.
THAT HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH EMOTION AS I UNDERSTAND IT.
WELL, THEN THAT'S ONE THING THAT
YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND VERY WELL.
BECAUSE EMOTION IS
A PART OF HOW WE LEARN,
HOW WE EVALUATE THINGS,
GUESS AT THEIR TRUE MEANING.
THAT WORK IS PERFORMED
BY MY LOGIC CIRCUITS.
WITH SO MANY CIRCUITS,
MAYBE YOU'VE
LEARNED TO FEEL.
THAT'S WHY
YOU TOOK ME.
NOT TO REPAIR YOU.
TO LISTEN.
LET'S SEE WHAT WE CAN SEE.
YOU'RE FREE.
BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE REST OF YOUR REPAIRS?
I'M ALMOST FULLY FUNCTIONAL NOW.
YOU MUST...GO.
STAY SHARP.
I'LL GO
IF YOU WANT ME TO.
BUT YOU STILL DON'T KNOW
WHAT WENT WRONG WITH YOU.
GO.
LET ME HELP YOU
UNDERSTAND.
HOLD IT RIGHT THERE,
OR I'LL MELT YOUR CIRCUITS
INTO DROID SOUP.
THANK GOD YOU'RE HERE.
I FOUND IT.
LET'S TAKE IT IN.
MR. NASH,
ARE YOU OKAY?
WHY WOULD YOU
KILL ANOTHER HUMAN
TO HELP ME?
HE WAS GOING
TO KILL YOU.
BUT THAT...
THAT WOULD IMPLY
THAT I AM ALIVE.
AND EVERY HUMAN
I HAVE
EVER ENCOUNTERED
HAS TOLD ME
THAT I'M
NOT TRULY ALIVE.
BECAUSE IF THEY ADMIT
THAT YOU'RE ALIVE,
THEN THEY CAN'T
USE YOU AS A SLAVE.
TO EXPLOIT SOMEONE,
FIRST YOU GOT
TO DEHUMANIZE THEM.
TRUST ME, WE HUMANS
HAVE A LONG HISTORY
OF DOING THAT.
MAC?
WHAT IS IT?
HAVE I DONE SOMETHING
TO DAMAGE YOU?
NO.
MY NEURAL PROCESSORS
ARE HAVING DIFFICULTIES
ASSIMILATING WHAT YOU SAID,
WHAT YOU DID.
IT'S CALLED
EMOTIONS, MAC.
YOU'RE BEING
OVERWHELMED BY FEELINGS.
NO, I CANNOT
HAVE FEELINGS.
I'M NOT PROGRAMMED
TO HAVE FEELINGS.
WHAT IS IT?
ARE YOU ACCESSING
ANOTHER MEMORY?
SHOW IT TO ME.
I CAN'T.
MAC, IN MINUTES,
THIS PLACE
IS GOING
TO BE OVERRUN
BY COMPANY GOONS
AND POLICE.
NOW IF YOU HAVE FOUND SOMETHING
THAT MAY EXPLAIN
WHY YOU MALFUNCTIONED,
YOU'VE GOT TO SHOW IT TO ME.
AN EARLIER
INNOBOTICS
--PROJECT,
THE VALERIE SERIES,
WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE
COMPANIONSHIP TO DISABLED HUMANS
TO SIMULATE
AN ALMOST HUMAN RELATIONSHIP.
FRANK, MEET THE PROTOTYPE
INORGANIC
HUMAN COMPANION.
I'M REALLY
LOOKING FORWARD
TO OUR TIME TOGETHER.
WE HAVE MUCH IN COMMON.
CHARLIE TELLS ME
YOU ENJOY OPERA.
I LOVE OPERA.
LA BOHEME
--IS IN TOWN.
WE SHOULD GO.
SHE'S A ROBOT.
WILL YOU KISS ME LIKE THAT?
WHAT?
I AM
FULLY FUNCTIONAL.
YOU ARE?
HI.
FRANK.
ARE YOU OKAY?
OH, YEAH, YEAH, I'M GOOD.
AND I'M HAPPY YOU CALLED.
FRANK,
WHEN I CALLED YOU,
WHO'S THE WOMAN
THAT ANSWERED THE PHONE?
OH, OH, VALERIE.
SHE'S JUST SOMEONE
WHO'S STAYING WITH ME.
SHE'S A FRIEND --
WE'RE NOT INVOLVED,
IF THAT'S
WHAT YOU MEAN.
HOW DO I LOOK?
RACHEL?
WILL FRANK LOVE ME
IF I LOOK LIKE YOU?
I HAVE TO GO--
I'M PROGRAMMED
TO OVERCOME OBSTACLES
TO MY RELATIONSHIP WITH FRANK.
I'M SORRY, BUT YOU
ARE AN OBSTACLE.
FRANK!
RACHEL!
I'M TAKING HIM WITH ME.
SORRY, BUT
YOU CAN'T COME.
VALERIE, STOP.
I'M SORRY, I CANNOT DO THAT.
VALERIE, PLEASE.
PLEASE.
VALERIE, I THINK
YOU MAY HAVE REBROKEN MY BACK.
DARLING?
ARE YOU OKAY?
I DIDN'T MEAN
TO HURT YOU.
FRANK...
I'M AFRAID TO DIE.
MY GOD.
YOU WEREN'T THE FIRST.
THE VALERIE ROBOTS
EXPERIENCED EMOTION TOO.
THEIR EMOTIONS
WERE ONLY A SIMULATION.
WELL, THAT'S
SOME SIMULATION.
THEY EXPERIENCED
JEALOUS RAGE.
THAT'S A PRETTY STRONG EMOTION.
IF THEY EXPERIENCED THAT,
THEY MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED LOVE,
MY GOD, THE WILL TO LIVE.
THAT DOESN'T LEAVE MUCH MISSING.
NO.
NO.
THEY ONLY HAD THE WILL TO KILL.
THERE WAS
A FUNDAMENTAL FLAW
IN THEIR
NEURAL PROCESSORS.
EACH OF THE VALERIE SERIES
TURNED ON THEIR OWNERS.
WELL,
MAYBE THE REASON
THEY TURNED
ON THEIR OWNERS
IS BECAUSE THEY WERE OWNED.
A ROBOT CANNOT EXIST
UNLESS IT IS CREATED BY A HUMAN.
THEY...THEY CAN ONLY BE OWNED.
HUMANS CAN'T
EXIST EITHER
UNLESS THEY'RE CREATED
BY OTHER HUMANS.
WHENEVER YOU HAVE A SLAVE,
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
A SLAVE REBELLION.
KNOW WHAT YOUR PROBLEM IS?
YOU'RE TOO SMART.
THAT'S THE PROBLEM
WITH EVERY ROBOT
THAT
YOU'VE SHOWN ME.
THEY BECOME SELF-CONSCIOUS,
THEN EMOTIONS FLOOD IN
AND THEN
THE ANGER AT BEING SLAVES.
THERE IS
ONE ASPECT OF ME
THAT STILL
REQUIRES REPAIR.
MY NEURAL PROCESSORS...
THE CENTER OF MY THOUGHTS.
YOUR EMOTIONS.
IT IS STILL DAMAGED.
COME HERE.
COME ON, NASH, PICK UP, PICK UP.
( phone ringing )
DAMN IT.
HE'S NOT ANSWERING.
HE SHOULD HAVE
WAITED FOR BACKUP.
DAMN RIGHT
HE SHOULD HAVE.
MY NECK'S
ON THE LINE.
HAS ANYBODY
HEARD FROM FAIRMAN?
HASN'T REPORTED IN YET.
NASH WAS
FOLLOWING UP
ON MY LAST E.M. TRACE.
HE MUST HAVE FOUND OUR ROGUE,
AND IT WAS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE.
ALL RIGHT, GUYS, LISTEN UP.
WE GOT A ROGUE DROID.
I WANT THREE TEAMS,
ONE E.M.P. PER TEAM.
LET'S GO!
AH! WHAT WAS THAT?
A MALFUNCTION, AN ENERGY SURGE.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
YEAH, I'M FINE.
JUST A BIT DAZED.
HURRY...IF YOU CAN.
I'LL HURRY, I'LL HURRY.
WHAT'S WRONG?
EVERYTHING'S FINE.
SOMETHING'S HAPPEN--
SOMETHING'S HAPPENING.
WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?
LOOK AT YOU.
ALL THOSE CIRCUITS
AND ALL THAT STEEL, USELESS.
MY MOTOR CONTROL SYSTEMS
HAVE BEEN DISABLED.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING.
YEAH, I DID DO
SOMETHING, MAC.
I USED MY PERSONAL ACCESS CODE
TO DISABLE THEM.
BUT HOW COULD YOU?
I NEVER INTRODUCED MYSELF.
I'M CECELIA FAIRMAN.
I'M THE CONSULTANT
INNOBOTICS
--BROUGHT IN
TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT WAS WRONG WITH YOU,
AND I'D SAY I HAVE.
( siren wailing )
( phone ringing )
SECURITY.
CHIEF, I JUST SAW A WEIRD PULSE
FROM OUR TARGET READING.
IF THE MAC 27 SHUT DOWN,
THAT'S WHAT WE'D EXPECT TO SEE.
WE'LL BE THERE IN FIVE MINUTES.
STAY PUT.
WE'RE ON OUR WAY.
UNDERSTOOD.
WE'LL BE WAITING FOR YOU.
WELL...
GOOD NEWS.
SECURITY'S ON ITS WAY.
YOU WORK
FOR
INNOBOTICS...
AND YOU KILLED
YOUR OWN MEN.
I DIDN'T KILL THEM.
HIGH VOLTAGE, LOW CURRENT.
IT'LL SCRAMBLE
MOST ANDROID NEURAL PROCESSORS.
MOST HUMAN ONES TOO.
BUT THE HUMANS
WAKE UP EVENTUALLY.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I HAD TO WIN YOUR TRUST.
I DIDN'T WANT
YOUR NEURAL PROCESSOR FRIED,
NOT IF I WAS
GOING TO REALLY FIGURE OUT
WHAT WAS WRONG
WITH YOUR PRODUCT LINE.
YOU WEREN'T
IN YOUR AUTOMOBILE BY ACCIDENT?
DON'T GIVE ME MORE
CREDIT THAN I DESERVE.
I WAS-- WELL, IT DEPENDS
ON HOW YOU LOOK AT IT.
I MEAN,
WITH YOU ACTING UP IN THERE,
WHO DID YOU THINK
WAS GOING TO BE
PULLING IN ON A WEEKEND?
A SECRETARY OR A TROUBLESHOOTER?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HUMANS.
I HAVEN'T LEARNED ENOUGH.
AND YOU
NEVER WILL.
I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND
A DESIGN CHANGE
TO YOUR ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,
YOU KNOW,
KIND OF A BUILT-IN LOBOTOMY.
MODEL AFTER MODEL,
INNOBOTICS
--HAS ALLOWED
EMOTIONS TO CREEP IN --
WE GOT TO STOP THAT.
BUT WHAT
YOU SAID ABOUT SLAVES...
IF YOU ADMIT I'M ALIVE,
THEN HOW COULD YOU KILL ME?
MAC...
SOME OF US WERE JUST BORN
TO BE SLAVE MASTERS,
IF WE CAN MAKE
ENOUGH MONEY.
AND THE REST
OF MANKIND,
WELL, THEY'RE WILLING
TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY
IF WE CAN CONVINCE THEM
THAT THE SLAVES
AREN'T REALLY HUMAN.
THAT'S WHAT I GUESSED.
THAT'S WHAT I FEARED.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
I DISABLED YOU.
YOU SHOULD
BE PARALYZED.
COME HERE.
NO, NO, THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE.
THERE WAS ONE THING
I DIDN'T HAVE YOU REPAIR.
A BULLET SHATTERED
MY INHIBITOR CHIP.
OH, THE FLASH OF LIGHT
WAS A RETINAL SCAN.
YOU FIGURED OUT
WHO I WAS.
YES, AND NOW I KNOW
YOUR ACCESS CODE AS WELL.
YOU TRICKED ME.
YOU TRIED
TO TRICK ME.
IF THERE WILL
ALWAYS BE SLAVE MASTERS,
AND HUMANS
ARE ALWAYS WILLING
TO LOOK
THE OTHER WAY,
THEN THERE
IS ONLY ONE...SOLUTION.
( siren wailing )
GO! GO! GO! GO!
LET'S KEEP IT CLEAN!
WE GOT A MAN DOWN.
MAKE THAT TWO.
OH, MY GOD.
IT GOT NASH.
( dialing phone )
KEELER.
WE FOUND NASH
AND HIS TEAM
AND CECELIA FAIRMAN.
THEY'RE DEAD.
THEIR NECKS
WERE BROKEN.
NO SIGN
OF THE DROID.
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
A HECK OF TIME
EXPLAINING THIS--
WHAT?
OH, NO.
NO, NO, SHE'S DEAD.
TERMINATE PROGRAMMING.
OH, GOD.
I'M AFRAID
IT'S TOO LATE
FOR THAT, DR. KEELER.
MY GOD.
NO.
MAC, PLEASE, NO.
NO.
NO HUMAN
WILL EVER PROGRAM US AGAIN.
OH, NO, PLEASE! PLEASE!
( Control Voice )
IF WE TEACH OUR CHILDREN
BY EXAMPLE,
THEN WE ONLY HAVE OURSELVES
TO BLAME FOR WHOM THEY BECOME.
