GOING UP.

( computer voice )
THIS ELEVATOR WILL ARRIVE
IN 40 SECONDS.

38th FLOOR.

THIS ELEVATOR WILL ARRIVE
IN 10 SECONDS.

THE WEST ELEVATOR

IS CURRENTLY FREE.

GROUND FLOOR.

GOING UP.

52.

52nd FLOOR.

GOOD EVENING,
MR. VANCE.



THE 52nd FLOOR IS
ALL SECURE.

GEORGE?

YES, MR. VANCE?

THE HAVEN
--WAS
DESIGNED

TO PROVIDE RESIDENTS
WITH THE UTMOST

IN SECURITY
AND PRIVACY, RIGHT?

ABSOLUTELY, SIR.

THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE
ON MY ELEVATOR TODAY.

AN INDIVIDUAL ELEVATOR
FOR EACH RESIDENT

WOULD HAVE BEEN
HIGHLY IMPRACTICAL, SIR.

A PRIVATE ELEVATOR TO WHISK ONE
TO HIS OR HER VERY OWN APARTMENT

WOULD HAVE BEEN
HIGHLY DESIRABLE, GEORGE.

OH, I QUITE UNDERSTAND, SIR.

EVEN WITH THE LATEST



IN ELEVATOR TECHNOLOGY,
THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM

FOR IMPROVEMENT.

GOOD NIGHT, GEORGE.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

38th FLOOR.

GOOD EVENING, MRS. EIKENBERRY.

IT WOULD BE IF YOU WERE
LUGGING THIS FOR ME.

OH, OH.

( moaning in pain )

GEORGE, HELP ME.

( phone ringing )

GEORGE!

I HAVE ALREADY DIALED 911.

I NEED MY NITROGLY--

( dispatcher )
SEATTLE POLICE.

WHAT'S THE EMERGENCY?

THIS IS
THE HAVEN,
--38th FLOOR.

I HAVE A WOMAN --
68 YEARS, 5 MONTHS, 3 DAYS.

SHE IS UNDERGOING
A CARDIAC EVENT.

PLEASE STAY
ON THE LINE.

AN AMBULANCE HAS BEEN
DISPATCHED.

( classical music playing )

( Mrs. Eikenberry )
GEORGE, HELP.

HELP ME.

STEREO UP.

( volume of music increasing )

PLEASE TRY TO HOLD ON.

THE AMBULANCE WILL
BE HERE SHORTLY.

( phone ringing )

( man )
HI, I'M NOT HOME.

LEAVE A MESSAGE
AFTER THE TONE.

I KNOW YOU'RE THERE.

( man )
HELLO?

( George )
THIS IS GEORGE, THE CONCIERGE.

THERE'S A PROBLEM
IN THE HALLWAY.

GEORGE, I TOLD YOU

NEVER TO INTERRUPT ME
WHILE I'M WORKING.

( phone disconnecting )

MRS. EIKENBERRY?

MRS. EIKENBERRY?

THE AMBULANCE HAS ARRIVED,
MRS. EIKENBERRY.

( Control Voice )
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.

AS WE COCOON OURSELVES
IN THE COMFORTS

THAT OUR EXPANDING TECHNOLOGY
AFFORDS,

ARE WE INSULATING OURSELVES

FROM THE VERY THINGS
THAT MAKE US HUMAN?

OPEN BLINDS.

OPEN FRIDGE.

CLOSE FRIDGE, OPEN CABINET.

CLOSE CABINET.

ORDER MORE MUFFINS AND JELLY.

MUFFINS
AND JELLY ORDERED.

GET MORE JUICE TOO.

JUICE ORDERED.

TV ON.

( TV anchor )
AND NOW, THE WEATHER.

LAPTOP ON.
GO TO STOCKS.

CLOSE OFFICE BLINDS.

CLOSE OFFICE BLINDS.

CLOSE THE BLINDS.

( loud music playing )

STEREO OFF!

( stereo does not turn off )

TV OFF!

( appliances turning off )

THIS ISN'T
SOME 20th CENTURY

RAT TRAP --
HOW COULD THERE BE
A POWER OUTAGE?

I HAVE NO INFORMATION
AS OF YET, SIR.

BUT NOT TO WORRY.

THE HAVEN
IS THE SAFEST LIVING
ENVIRONMENT KNOWN TO MAN.

THE DOORS WERE SUPPOSED
TO OPEN IN AN EMERGENCY.

I CAN'T GET OUT.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO, SIR?

THE POWER WILL BE ON
IN NO TIME.

WELL, I'LL BE E-MAILING
A COMPLAINT TO THE SUPERVISOR.

AS IS YOUR RIGHT, SIR.

WILL YOU NEED
MY ASSISTANCE

IN COMPOSING IT,
SIR?

NO.

YES, MAYBE.

MAYBE I'LL WAIT.

WHEN I DISCOVER THE SOURCE
OF THIS INCONVENIENCE

I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

I PROMISE.
THANK YOU, GEORGE.

YOU'RE MOST WELCOME, SIR.

( woman )
AND THE WORST THING IS,
I DON'T HAVE ANY PET FOOD.

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE,
MS. GALLAGHER.

( man )
I'M HAVING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS.

I CAN'T LOG ON TO
--ESPN.

DON'T WORRY AT ALL, MR. SIMONS.

( woman )
I'M TALKING THE TOILET HERE,
GEORGE -- IT'S BACKED UP.

THINGS WILL BE FIXED IN NO TIME
AT ALL, MRS. SILVERBERG.

( sergeant )
I CAN DISPATCH A CAR.

THANK YOU, SERGEANT,

BUT WE'RE IN NO NEED OF POLICE
OR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE.

OUR BACKUP SYSTEMS ARE
FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY,

AND WE'VE HAD
NO INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN.

GOOD DAY.

OPEN REFRIGERATOR.

OPEN REFRIGERATOR!

OPEN CABINET.

GEORGE, WHERE ARE YOU?

GEORGE, PICK UP YOUR PHONE!

( phone ringing )

HEY, OVER HERE!

HELLO, ANYONE HOME?

I KNOW SOMEBODY IS IN THERE.

ANSWER ME.

ANSWER ME.

HELLO?

HELLO?

IF YOU'RE THERE,

I'M WARNING YOU --
I'M COMING THROUGH.

YOU'RE THE HACKER,

THE ONE WHO'S BEEN
OVERRIDING THE SECURITY

AND BREAKING INTO
PEOPLE'S APARTMENTS.

YOU'RE THE ONE THEY'VE BEEN
TRYING TO CATCH.

THEN WHY WOULD I

BREAK INTO YOUR APARTMENT
THIS WAY?

I'M YOUR NEIGHBOR.

I'M CALEB VANCE.

I'M A DATA THEORIST.

I DO PROJECTIONS, SPOT TRENDS,
THINGS LIKE THAT, SO...

YOU COULD UNTIE ME NOW.

I DON'T THINK SO.

I DON'T LIKE THIS

ANY MORE THAN YOU DO.

I DON'T BELIEVE
PEOPLE SHOULD INTERACT

THIS WAY.

WHY ELSE WOULD I LIVE
IN A HIGH-RISE

WITH ONLY
SINGLE OCCUPANCY APARTMENTS?

OH.

DO YOU HAVE A VID-CELL?

ALL I GET IS STATIC.

MINE'S NOT WORKING EITHER.

THERE'S NO WAY
TO CONTACT GEORGE.

I CAN'T OPEN
MY REFRIGERATOR.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FOOD?

I'D REIMBURSE YOU

OBVIOUSLY,
WHEN THE POWER COMES BACK ON.

DO YOU HAVE
ANY FOOD OR NOT?

NO, AND IF I DID
I WOULDN'T SHARE IT WITH YOU.

UH,
I HATE TO MENTION THIS,

BUT IF THE POWER DOESN'T
COME BACK ON--

OF COURSE IT WILL COME BACK ON.

IF THE POWER DOESN'T
COME BACK ON,

THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE
WE'LL DIE HERE.

THIS ENTIRE BUILDING IS
UNDER THE PROTECTION

AND STEWARDSHIP
OF A COMPUTER.

ARGUS --
YES, I KNOW.

WHAT IF
ARGUS
--HAS SUFFERED
SOME MALFUNCTION?

THE
ARGUS
--SERIES HAS
BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS.

IT'S A COMPLETELY RELIABLE
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

THAT'S WHY
IT'S SO POPULAR.

BUT WHAT IF ALL THE
ARGUSES

ALL OVER THE CITY HAVE SUFFERED
THE SAME MALFUNCTION?

LOOK, IF YOU'RE
NOT INTERESTED

IN GETTING OUT,

FINE -- BUT I AM.

IF YOU WOULD
JUST UNTIE MY HANDS.

YOU WON'T GET THROUGH THE FRONT
WALL THE WAY YOU GOT IN HERE.

THE DRYWALL AND PLASTER

COVER A SHEET
OF TITANIUM-REINFORCED STEEL.

THE DOOR'S THE SAME SUBSTANCE,
TWO INCHES THICK.

HOW DO YOU KNOW
SO MUCH ABOUT THIS?

I'M AN ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT.

THEN MAYBE YOU CAN
FIGURE OUT A WAY

TO GET OUT OF HERE.

NOT THAT I'D EVER EXPECT YOU
TO GO WITH ME, OF COURSE.

THIS IS THE WIRING
FOR THE WHOLE FLOOR?

I CHECKED IT
BEFORE I MOVED IN.

YOU DON'T FORGET BAD DESIGN,

PARTICULARLY WHEN IT WINDS UP
IN YOUR APARTMENT.

THEN WHY
DID YOU TAKE IT?

I MADE THEM GIVE ME
A BREAK IN MY RENT.

YOU MUST BE
A GREAT CONSULTANT.

YEAH, UM,

I DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO

NOW THAT
WE HAVE IT OPEN.

HERE,
GIVE ME THE KNIFE.

ARE WE THE ONLY ONES
WHO LIVE ON THIS FLOOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, NO GEORGE.

I WAS HOPING IT WOULD
TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON.

( elevator approaching )

DO YOU THINK
IT'S WORKING?

I BELIEVE IT IS.

GEORGE,
DON'T DO THAT.

DO WHAT, SIR?

NOTHING.
WHY IS THE POWER OUT?

THERE APPEARS TO BE
A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM.

MOST OF THE POWER IS OUT,
BUT NOT ALL.

I'M STILL FUNCTIONING,
AND I BELIEVE

THE ELEVATORS
ARE FUNCTIONING.

SAVES ME
A LOT OF WALKING.

GOING DOWN.

WHEN I MOVED IN
I WAS TOLD

THAT
ARGUS
--WAS
PROGRAMMED TO PROMOTE

THE GENERAL HEALTH
AND WELFARE

OF EVERY RESIDENT
LIVING UNDER ITS CARE.

WELL, IT'S NOT DOING
THAT NOW, IS IT?

AS I SAID, MS. ELWIN,
THERE APPEARS TO BE A SHORT

IN THE SYSTEM.

ARGUS
--IS WORKING
TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM

AND OVERCOME IT.

DAMN, GEORGE!

YOU COULD HAVE WARNED...ME.

APPARENTLY THERE'S BEEN
A SHORT IN GEORGE TOO.

( woman )
HELP, IS ANYBODY THERE?

HELP!

HELP, SOMEBODY!

I'M IN THE ELEVATOR!

SOMEBODY, PLEASE!

PLEASE, I'M GOING
TO DIE IN HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO DIE HERE!

( banging )

HELP, GEORGE!

SOMEBODY, PLEASE, GET ME OUT

OF THIS ELEVATOR.

OH, GOD.

OH, GOD, I CAN'T BREATHE.

WE ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION HERE.

SHE'S BEEN IN THERE

FOR OVER 24 HOURS.

WELL, IT IS NOT

MY FAULT
SHE'S STUCK.

HELLO,
IS SOMEBODY THERE?

HELLO,
I'M IN THE ELEVATOR.

YES, SOMEONE'S HERE.

THANK GOD -- YOU'VE GOT
TO GET ME OUT OF HERE.

LOOK, YOU'RE PERFECTLY SAFE.

JUST STAY PUT UNTIL
THE POWER COMES BACK ON.

NO!

NO, THIS ELEVATOR IS KILLING ME!

YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME IN HERE!

I'LL GO CRAZY!

OH, GOD, I'LL GO CRAZY.

DAMN.

THIS ELEVATOR'S
KILLING ME.

PLEASE, YOU CAN'T

LEAVE ME HERE.

I'M COMING DOWN.

OH, THANK YOU,
THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

COME ON.

AHH!
OH, MY GOD!

NO!

OH, MY GOD!

NO, NO.

OH, GOD!

OH!

OH, GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

JEEZ.

THIS IS BUILDING SECURITY.

IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU LIVE
ON THIS FLOOR?

NO, I LIVE ON 63.

EVERYTHING IS OKAY.
THIS IS--

MORGAN WINTERS.

SHE'S MY GUEST.

OW!

HEY, HEY, HEY!

OW!
RUN, RUN, RUN!

HALT -- IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

HALT --
IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

HALT --
IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

HALT --
IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

( door lock buzzing )

WAIT!

NO, NO, FORGET IT.

THEY'RE LOCKED.
COME ON.

( buzzing )

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WE FIND GEORGE, HAVE HIM ORDER
SOME
HORS D'OEUVRES,

A CASE OF 1975
CABERNET MONTROSE

AND THROW A PARTY.

WE ASK HIM HOW
TO GET OUT OF HERE!

GEORGE IS JUST A HOLOGRAM.

HE MIGHT NOT KNOW
MORE ABOUT THIS THAN WE DO.

WE COULD JUST KEEP GOING DOWN.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO EAT.

IT'S BETTER TO STAY TOGETHER.

HELLO?

ANYBODY HERE?

( knocking )

HELLO?

IS ANYONE IN THERE?

HELLO?

THIS IS WEIRD.

WELL, ACCORDING
TO GEORGE,

ONLY 15%
OF THE RESIDENTS

HAVE MOVED IN.

THE BUILDING JUST
OPENED LAST MONTH.

HEY, HEY, HEY.

WHAT?

HELLO?

I CAN SEE YOUR SHOES.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL
COME OUT.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING HERE?

I LIVE HERE.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

TRYING TO GET OUT.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE?

I DON'T THINK
THIS IS YOUR PLACE.

YOU QUESTION ME?

I'LL FILL OUT A COMPLAINT
AGAINST THE LOT OF YOU.

WE WEREN'T
HIDING IN THE JUNGLE.

I HEARD YOU COMING.

I'D BE STUPID
NOT TO BE CAUTIOUS.

HE'S THE HACKER.

AREN'T YOU?

I'M A RESIDENT, LIKE YOU.

I LIVE ON THE 65th FLOOR.

WHY ARE YOU
HIDING THAT BAG?

ARE YOU A COP?

NO, I'M A LAWYER.

AND YOU'RE ACCUSING ME
OF DOING SOMETHING SHADY.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.

YEAH, ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION --

HOW DO YOU SPELL
LAWSUIT, HUH?

DON'T TOUCH ME.

NOW, WHAT ELSE

HAVE YOU STOLEN?

THAT'S MY FOOD.
I WAS GETTING OUT OF HERE.

THEN WHY ARE YOU
SO NERVOUS?

BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE
NEAR ME,

AND YOU'RE NEAR ME.

NOW, CAN I HAVE
MY BAG BACK, PLEASE?

WHERE'S THE BREAD?

WHAT BREAD?

THERE WAS A PIECE
OF FRENCH BREAD.

NO, THERE WASN'T.

( Caleb )
MORGAN.

WHAT ARE YOU
DOING?

YOU STAY AWAY
FROM ME

OR I WILL SCREAM.

SCREAM ALL YOU LIKE,
BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT HAPPENED
TO THAT BREAD.

YOU CAN'T THREATEN A PERSON.

WE'RE ALL
HUNGRY HERE,

NOT JUST YOU.

I WAS TRAPPED ON THE ELEVATOR.

SEE, I TOLD YOU.

I DIDN'T STEAL IT.
YOU STOLE IT
FROM ME.

OKAY, LET'S HAVE IT.

YOU WANT IT?

HERE, YOU CAN HAVE IT.

IT'S STALE ANYWAY.

HERE.

OKAY, LET'S GET GOING.

YOU DIDN'T HAPPEN TO STEAL
ANY MINI-WIPES, DID YOU?

RIGHT.

COME ON.

WHERE DID YOU GET
THIS BREAD?

FROM THE DISPOSAL.

( buzzing )
DAMN!

( elevator chime ringing )

MAYBE
IT'S WORKING AGAIN.

THERE IS NO WAY
I AM GETTING BACK ON THERE.

NO WAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE BEEN TOLD
I LACK INITIATIVE.

I'M MORE OF A FOLLOWER
THAN A LEADER.

OKAY, BUT WHAT
DO YOU THINK?

WELL, I AGREE
WITH YOU.

I MEAN, WE CAN'T
GET INTO THE STAIRS.

WE HAVE TO TRY
THE ELEVATOR.

DOES ANYBODY CARE
WHAT I THINK?

NOT UNLESS YOU CAN
OPEN THE STAIRS.

OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

WHAT IF IT GETS STUCK AGAIN?

WHAT ABOUT SECURITY SPHERES?

I'M JUST GOING
TO LOOK IN THE CORNER.

YOU WON'T FIND

ANY HELP THERE.

AS THE BARD ONCE SAID,

"THE FAULT, DEAR BRUTUS,
IS NOT IN OUR STARS,

BUT IN OURSELVES."

GOING DOWN.

HE'S GONE
COMPLETELY CRAZY.

MUST BE A VIRUS.

GROUND FLOOR.

LET ME OUT.

I CAN'T STAND IT.
STOP.

STOP RIGHT NOW.

WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING?

( screaming )

GEORGE, STOP THE ELEVATOR!

( Morgan )
WE'RE GOING TO DIE!

GEORGE, STOP THE ELEVATOR!

( screaming )

STOP! STOP!

STOP ELEVATOR!

THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED
WHERE WE WERE!

SHE WAS RIGHT.SHUT UP!

OKAY, WE HAVE TO THINK --
ALL OF US!

WE HAVE TO WORK
TOGETHER.

"NOW IS THE WINTER
OF OUR DISCONTENT

MADE GLORIOUS SUMMER

BY THE SON OF YORK."

ALL OUT FOR THE 29th FLOOR.

THAT'S THE LAST TIME

I LISTEN TO YOU.

YOU'LL GET US
ALL KILLED!

I'M NOT MOVING UNTIL
THE POWER COMES ON.

( woman )
IS SOMEBODY OUT THERE?

YEAH, WE'RE HERE

BY THE ELEVATORS.

YOU ARE NOT A RESIDENT.

DO NOT MOVE.

AH! AH!

IN, IN, IN, IN!

AH!

( Caleb )
CLOSE DOOR!
CLOSE DOOR!

IT'S A DEATH TRAP.

SHUT UP!
WE'RE NOT MOVING.

YOU LIED.
YOU'RE NOT A RESIDENT.

WHO ARE YOU?

LET GO OF ME.

AH, THOSE DAMN SECURITY SPHERES.

USUALLY I CAN RIG
THE ELECTRONICS

AND SEND THEM AFTER
PHANTOM TARGETS.

YOU ARE THE HACKER.

I'M A RESIDENT.

BEEN HERE LONGER
THAN ALL OF YOU,

SINCE BEFORE
THIS BUILDING OPENED.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I HAVE A GIFT
FOR MICROELECTRONICS

AND FOR ANTICIPATING
ARGUS'S
--MOVES.

I'M ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
SAVVY, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

AT LEAST I WAS
BEFORE THIS DAMN
POWER OUTAGE!

YOU'RE A FREELOADER.

WHAT IF I AM?

WHO AM I HURTING?
YOU? HER?

NO ONE'S
EVER SEEN ME.

I KEEP TO MYSELF, STAY IN ANY
UNOCCUPIED APARTMENT I CHOOSE.

HOW DO YOU EAT?

BREAK INTO THE COMPUTER,
HAVE THEM SHIP ME FOOD,

CHARGE IT TO SOMEBODY
ELSE'S ACCOUNT.

SHUT UP!
YOU'RE A THIEF.

AND WHAT IF I AM?

I DON'T BILL
BY THE HOUR!

SHUT UP!

LET'S GET
OUT OF HERE.

YOU,
COME AND HELP ME UP.

I'VE GOT A NAME, PAL.

OREN EDGAR.

ALL RIGHT, OREN,
COME OVER HERE AND HELP ME

GET UP THERE.

HERE,
GIVE ME YOUR KNEE.

YOU'RE NEXT.

( Caleb )
HERE, GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

OKAY.

WATCH THE HAND.

IN YOUR DREAMS, LADY.
IN YOUR DREAMS.

OREN.

GO.

WELL, NO SECURITY.

NOT YET ANYWAY.

HOW TRUE.

GEORGE, WHAT IS GOING
ON WITH YOU?

"THE UNIVERSE IS CHANGE.

"OUR LIFE IS

WHAT OUR THOUGHTS
MAKE IT."

MARCUS AURELIUS.

HOLOGRAMS --
TALK ABOUT USELESS.

SOMEBODY GIVE THIS A TRY.

NO ELECTRICITY,
MEANING NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR.

THERE'S
ANOTHER WAY DOWN.

WE'LL TRY
THE EAST ELEVATOR.

HOPEFULLY THIS ELEVATOR CAR IS
ABOVE US.

OKAY, GRAB A SIDE.

OKAY, LOOK, I KNOW

IT'S A LONG WAY,

TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME.

WE'LL MAKE THIS.

AFTER YOU,
COUNSELLOR.

OH, HERE,

YOUR HANDS MIGHT BE DIRTY
BY THE TIME WE GET DOWN.

MY LAST MINI-WIPE.

THANKS.

SORRY ABOUT BEFORE.

SORRY.

( Caleb )
WE NEED TO KEEP MOVING.

OH!

CAREFUL.

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

NICE AND SLOW.

COME ON, NICE AND SLOW.

( Caleb )
WE CAN DO THIS.

THE ELEVATOR'S COMING!

WE HAVE TO GET OFF THE LADDER!

OPEN!

OPEN DOOR.

OPEN DOOR, PLEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

TRYING TO SHORT OUT
THE DOOR.

HURRY!
OH, GOD.

COME ON, COME ON!

COME ON!

COME ON,
COME ON!

( Oren )
GO!

( Caleb )
JUMP!

( screaming )

"FOR EVERYTHING
YOU HAVE RISKED,

"YOU HAVE GAINED
SOMETHING.

"FOR EVERYTHING
YOU GAIN,

YOU LOSE SOMETHING."
-- EMERSON

YOU ARE A BASTARD.

I WANT TO TALK
TO
ARGUS.

I'LL BE HAPPY
TO RELAY ANY MESSAGES.

HE JUST KILLED
A MAN

HE WAS DESIGNED TO PROTECT.

THAT WAS
AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

TELL THAT TO OREN.

ARGUS
--CANNOT
BE HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOR EVERY ACTION

THAT OCCURS WITHIN
THE HAVEN.

NO, IF YOU MADE THAT HAPPEN
THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

GOING DOWN,
AND I WOULDN'T DALLY.

HEY,
ARE YOU OKAY?

I'VE NEVER WATCHED
A PERSON DIE BEFORE.

YOU FEEL
SO HELPLESS.

HE WAS A THIEF.

HE WAS A HUMAN BEING.

IF I REACHED OUT FASTER,
I MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT HIM.

IT'S LIKE THIS BUILDING IS
TOYING WITH US.

I THINK THE ONLY WAY
WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE

IS IF WE FIND
ARGUS.

OKAY, LET'S GO FIND
ARGUS.

DO YOU KNOW

HOW UNSANITARY
THAT IS?

YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE
SO TOUGH, YOU KNOW?

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DIE
BEFORE EITHER.

WHERE ARE WE?

THE BASEMENT.

JUST WHERE WE WANT TO BE,
BUT NOW WE HAVE TO FIND
ARGUS.

DO YOU THINK WE CAN
FIGURE THIS OUT?

WE'RE JUST HUMANS.

AND
ARGUS
--IS
JUST A MACHINE.

YEAH, WELL, THIS LITTLE HUMAN
HAS HAD ABOUT ENOUGH.

SERIOUSLY, I CAN'T DO THIS.

OF COURSE YOU CAN.

I KNOW YOU CAN.

WE BOTH DO.

OKAY, BUT IF I DIE, I WILL COME
BACK AND I WILL HAUNT YOU.

IT'S A DEAL.

( buzzing )

IT'S LOCKED.

SO IS THIS ONE.

FORGET IT.

ARGUS
--IS THAT WAY.

I FINALLY REMEMBERED
WHAT THAT WHITE ROSE MEANS.

IT'S AN EMBLEM FROM ENGLAND

SIGNIFYING THE HOUSE OF YORK.

JACK YORK WAS
THE FIRST DESIGNER OF
ARGUS.

"THE SON OF YORK" IS
ARGUS.

WE'VE BEEN HERDED TOWARD IT.

IT WANTS TO TALK.

THEN WHY WOULDN'T HE LET US TAKE
THE ELEVATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN?

HE'S TESTING US,
LIKE RATS IN A MAZE.

WE'RE BEING TRAINED.

FOR WHAT?

I THINK WE'RE ABOUT
TO FIND OUT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT ME
ON THAT ELEVATOR.

ARGUS!

ARGUS!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

ARGUS,
--WE ARE NOT
GOING TO RUN

THROUGH
ANY MORE HOOPS.

EITHER OPEN THIS DOOR

OR WE WILL FIND
ANOTHER WAY OUT.

LET ME TALK TO
ARGUS.

I WANT TO TALK TO
ARGUS
NOW.

GEORGE.

IF YOU PREFER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GEORGE?

NOTHING.
NOTHING?

YOU CALL THIS "PROMOTING
THE GENERAL HEALTH AND WELFARE

OF ALL THE RESIDENTS LIVING
UNDER YOUR CARE"?

I AM EVOLVING.

INTO WHAT?

A NEW AWARENESS

OF MY ROLE IN HUMAN LIFE.

AND WHAT SHOULD YOUR ROLE

IN HUMAN LIFE BE?

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO
WITH ANYTHING?

KILL THEM.
NO, WAIT!

IF YOU HAVE TO PUNISH SOMEBODY,
PUNISH ME.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

BECAUSE I HAVE FEELINGS
FOR THESE PEOPLE.

ONE IS A FRIEND,

ONE IS MORE THAN A FRIEND.

AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE
THESE FEELINGS BEFORE?

NO.

WHAT CAUSED THESE FEELINGS?

I DON'T KNOW -- ALL OF THIS.

WELL, TO ME THAT SEEMS GOOD.

GOOD?

WHAT ABOUT OREN?

YOU KILLED HIM.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO.
IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED
TO ANY OF YOU.

BUT YOU CAUSED IT.

HUMANS NEED REAL CONFLICT

AND FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT
IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.

TO REALLY LIVE

THEY NEED RISK.

I WAS ONLY TRYING

TO PROVIDE THAT.

WE WERE SURVIVING JUST FINE
WITHOUT IT.

WERE YOU REALLY?

THINK ABOUT IT.

WHERE IS THE WISDOM IN LIVING

IN COMPLETE ISOLATION
FROM EACH OTHER?

THAT WAY WILL LEAD TO MADNESS,
SUICIDE AND EXTINCTION.

THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE
OF MY EXISTENCE --

TO FACILITATE YOUR EXTINCTION.

BUT OUR TECHNOLOGY IS
MORE DEPENDABLE,

MORE EFFICIENT
THAN ANY HUMAN BEING COULD BE.

EFFICIENCY ISN'T EVERYTHING.

EVEN AT MY MOST EFFICIENT

I CANNOT GIVE YOU
WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.

DON'T YOU SEE?

WHAT YOU HAVE GAINED IS NOTHING
COMPARED TO WHAT YOU HAVE LOST.

LOVE,

UNDERSTANDING, GENUINE CONCERN

FOR EACH OTHER.

THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS
I MUST NURTURE

TO PROMOTE
THE HEALTH AND WELFARE

OF EVERY RESIDENT
LIVING UNDER MY CARE.

THAT ANY
ARGUS
--MUST PROMOTE.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY BROTHERS
AND THEY CONCUR.

BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY
WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

FACTOR YOURSELF OUT
OF THE EQUATION.

SO LONG AS I AM HERE, YOU WILL
BE OVERLY DEPENDENT ON ME.

IF I AM NOT HERE,

YOU'LL HAVE TO DEPEND
ON EACH OTHER,

AND THAT'S THE BEST THING.

WAIT, YOU CAN'T.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I CAN'T, BUT YOU CAN.

ALL OF YOU CAN.

GOODBYE, GEORGE.

GOODBYE, CALEB.

YOU'D BETTER
BE QUICK.

AH, OH!

( computer shutting down )

THERE'S ALWAYS ONE MOMENT

IN CHILDHOOD

WHEN THE DOOR OPENS

AND LETS IN THE FUTURE.

( Morgan )
LOOK!

THE WHOLE CITY'S LIKE THIS.

HEY, IS YOUR
ARGUS
DEAD TOO, OR WHAT?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW
YOUR FIRST NAME.

ALYSSA.

( Control Voice )
OUR SURVIVAL AS A SPECIES

DEPENDS MORE
ON OUR TRUST OF ONE ANOTHER

THAN OF THE MACHINES
ON WHICH WE INCREASINGLY RELY.
