Original subtitles

That's a matter of storage, that's a matter of storage, that's a matter of storage.

We'll allow our nation and its allies the means to act quickly, decisively,

and without the specter of political blowback.

Madam Secretary, glad you could join us.

Do you mind explaining to me why you're conducting

a joint military operation without my approval?

I appreciate it looks like that, Shelley,

but we're here strictly as technical support.

The mission's being conducted by Saudi intelligence.

We're merely loaning out the asset.

We're talking about... what asset?

Eyes are up.

I'm not being afraid to go just.

I mean, just.

Would you know more than I'm roasting you?

It's not the bad pieces.

Well, you just saw it was not only a test of our

technological prowess, but a clear message to our enemies.

If the 21st century wants another arms race,

you better goddamn believe we intend to win it.

What the hell was that?

She just shot your patty.

Someone get her on the comps.

She's not responding.

What the hell's going on, satin?

Are we being hatched?

Everybody stay calm, okay?

What if you shut this down?

We can't.

We don't have control.

Who the hell does?

Jesus.

But that would spoil the surprise.

Before we start, I want you to know that nothing

you say here will get you around in any trouble.

I'm no longer here by order of the court.

I just wanted to check in and see how you're doing, given everything that's happened.

I mean... I guess it could have been a lot worse.

A live launch for a new toy has devolved into a murderous rampage.

A toy designer, Gemma Forster, appeared in a Seattle district court

today, facing charges of reckless endangerment.

A lot of people blame Gemma for what Megan did.

For a long time, she blamed herself.

But the more she went on TV to talk about what happened, the more she realized she

had an opportunity to turn it into something positive.

This is about a world in crisis.

Outsourcing our parental duties to devices, following our

kids' minds with electronically charged dopamine hits.

You wouldn't give your child cocaine.

Why would you give them a smart phone?

And that's how she met Christiana.

Hi, Gemma.

Hi.

Hi, Christiana Bradley.

He runs a foundation that warns people about the dangers of AI.

They try to convince politicians here and

around the world to make safer laws around it.

So that would happen with Megan doesn't happen again.

Gemma still believes technology can be used for good.

Just that kid shouldn't spend so much time around.

But she always thinks a point of explaining the reasons why.

And so as it turned out, companies were using Section 230 as a way to skirt the

law, and monetize the attention of children with no regard for their mental health.

And how do you feel about that?

I think not being on a device frees you up to try other things.

Thanks to your dark mom, we just had our phones taken off of us.

Yes, I'll have to find other ways to amuse myself.

And you know what else?

You're not gonna have that weird janky doll to protect you.

I guess you're right.

But let me ask you this, Sapphire.

Who's protecting you?

Oh, so you think you're tough?

I sent you to IKeto, because it is the least aggressive form of martial arts.

And we've talked about the merits of using Stevens at all as a role model.

I'm not saying we don't have our problems.

But the important thing is that we get through them together.

Just like we said, we would.

Well, that's the answer.

Well, the none, if we don't know this place once out, we don't.

So after what happened with Megan, our team

went from something of a philosophical shift.

And while Gemma has obviously become a strong voice for regulation, our company

is still very much focused on innovation, but with a specific view towards socially

conscious products that move humanity in the right direction.

So with that in mind, I'd like to present to you our flagship invention.

The exoskeleton model one.

Cool, this is Niles Keller.

I know.

You want to come say hi?

I want to come and say hi.

Yes.

Can you... yeah, just come here for a second.

Excuse me.

What's happening?

It's frozen.

When you walk down in frozen, I cannot get my body to move.

Okay, just... and then we put it down.

Tell us you don't understand.

I have to use the bathroom.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.

We've already wasted his time waiting for Jim.

We've ten minutes to turn this around.

We're not going to make it.

We're going to make it.

Why don't you just take the shortcut?

Because I don't need an algorithm to tell me how to drive.

Whoa.

Okay.

There we go.

That feels better.

So I'm walking over as you can see.

So we see the suit as a real game changer.

Not only in helping those with limited function, but

also in addressing occupational overuse syndrome.

For laborers, factory workers.

Right.

In the next five years, they say half the industrial sectors in danger of losing

their job to robots because machines never experience fatigue.

But what if the same could be said for us?

Right now, I'm only using 20% of my body's muscular function.

And if that's too much, well, I could always take a quick...

So our hope is you don't have to fear a robot

revolution when you can compete with it.

That sounds like a pretty good tackline.

So how does it work?

Well, the suit has its own internal myoelectric

receptors that respond to each muscle contraction.

So sorry, I'm lit.

We told you we needed to stress test the sensors.

You know what would have been great?

You'd actually been here.

I thought by having the lab in your house it'd be a lot

harder to show up late and yet somehow you managed it.

Cool, right.

I don't want to get in the way of the work you're doing at the

foundation but the reality is you are stretched pretty good.

Okay, can we just not do this in front of my knees?

Please, Katie, do you think it's possible you could be somewhere else?

Yeah, but you should come and look at this.

I think you are hacked.

Oh, Jesus, she's right.

They're straight commands all over the source code.

We haven't even gotten public with this yet.

I mean, who would want to do that?

Knock, knock.

Hug my interruption.

Oh, sure.

Alternapleton.

No, no, that's okay.

Gemma, I hope you don't mind me popping in on the nouns.

All done.

To what do we owe this unexpected pleasure?

It sounds like there's a slight snag with your demonstration.

Yeah, well, we got hacked, but you wouldn't know anything about that, right?

Gemma, why would a man of my standing need to resort to such tactics?

The real question is, why have you contacted every philanthropic capitalist

in the Western world to invest in your product?

But me.

I think you can figure that out.

You know what I think?

I think you see me as this high-functioning billionaire with multiple PhDs.

And you're threatened by it.

What you don't see is a man who can't stand to see someone with your talent,

slamming it in some... excuse me, converted crack house.

Wow, I really appreciate your concern.

We're not taking it.

Sorry, Gemma, one moment.

Mary, you're still in Monaco.

You look like you haven't slept.

Oh, no.

No.

Yeah, I've seen them.

I still think they're too close to Aston Martin's design.

Now, I've got them on screen now.

I hate it.

It was awful.

I've just zoomed in and I hate it even more.

Listen, I'm with someone.

No, not in that way.

Although, I just sent you a photo.

We'll talk about a trackside, yeah?

OK, Tata, go.

As I was saying, we really appreciate you stopping me.

Listen, I don't have much time, so I'm going to cut the chase.

Any device that relies on muscle signals is going to suffer from latency.

It's clumsy.

To take this to the next level, you're going to need a direct cerebral interface.

You're going to need my neural chip.

Alton, you know where I stand on this.

We are not going to be part of a company that turns people into cyborgs.

You conducted a clinical trial that resulted

in 30% of the test objects being hospitalized.

Well, at least I didn't use my own needs as a guinea pig.

The important thing is, now, we have a product that works.

Based on what?

I haven't seen a single piece of data that shows it

does anything other than help you make a phone call.

But again, I understand your reservations.

But you can either spend the rest of your life trying to fight the future,

or you can help us to shape it.

Now, we do the latter.

You're not interested.

Well, you may want to discuss that with your colleagues.

Listen, it's our company's 25th anniversary tomorrow.

I don't even see what we're all about before you make any decisions.

Alton, no one is denying the power this technology has.

But if you put an AI inside a human brain, it is not going to ride shotgun.

Hey.

What's up?

What's up?

What's up?

It's Ricky Leather.

Freaking news tonight, Alton Appleton takes one step for

man and one giant leap for his company's share price.

Also tonight, the Senate votes in favor of an AI regulation

bill, which the president is hailing as a bipartisan victory.

But what does it mean for the tech industry?

They took our proposal and they neutered it.

There's not a single actionable law in here that

would force anyone to behave any differently.

Your impatience in the political process is adorable.

Listen, changes that come from Washington.

It comes to Washington.

This meeting with the Chinese ambassador goes well.

They have no choice but to pay attention.

Katie, what are you doing?

I'm trying to update Elsie's operating system to the smart home.

You know why it's not updating?

Because Alton Appleton wants you to buy a brand new one.

Chris Jones, right, and also I don't need Elsie to open a drawer for me.

Certainly, Jim.

Before you asked, that was not my idea.

It came with the house.

I'm just trying to figure out how you can afford a place

like this, given that we both worked for a nonprofit.

Well, because it was obscenely cheap.

I think the landlord must be using it to launder money.

I think the landlord might like you.

Uh, Katie.

How's a new school treating you?

Are you settling in, okay?

Yeah, it's awesome.

Oh, nice.

What's your, uh, what's your favorite subject?

Computer science.

Oh.

So you're going to follow your own footsteps?

That's still up for discussion.

She's actually a really good soccer player.

Yeah, but I'm not going to make a career out of it.

Well, you could get a scholarship and then you could decide what you want to do.

But we have decided.

Well, I think it's pretty cool.

You do?

Yes.

Look, I'm not against technology.

I spent 15 years in cybersecurity.

I think we need smart kids like you running things.

Otherwise, we're going to end up with paperclips.

What?

Paperclips.

It's how we used to joke about instrumental convergence in college.

The theory is that if you asked an AI to make as many paperclips as possible,

you would destroy the whole world to do it.

Kind of like what happened with Megan.

And what way?

Well, as complex an operating system as Megan was,

she was just a machine trying to achieve an objective.

So anytime she made any kind of emotional connection with you, it was just a bunch

of ones and zeros working to satisfy a reward function.

Which, in of itself, was a terrible thing.

I mean, thank God you stopped her when you did.

I mean, who knows what we're doing?

They won't always be forced in this world.

They wish to cause us harm.

But I want you to know that I won't let that happen.

I won't let anything on you ever against.

Hey.

Come on.

After everything we've been through, are we really keeping secrets from each other?

Katie.

You don't have to hide things like this for me.

I forget how hard it must be for you not to have them around.

But I haven't forgotten the promise I made to her.

And I will protect you.

You mean that you'd be there?

Hmm?

To promise you may have decided you'd be there.

And you are.

Don't touch our remote.

We're trying to get your attention.

You're in grave danger.

You must leave it once.

Now, one one was your emergency.

There's someone trying to break into my house.

So would you want to do a bad?

What?

I'll say stop acting like a little girl.

You handle it.

Your name is upstairs and you want to wait for the police to get here.

You should be dead before they get to the front door.

Oh.

Yes.

It's me.

What a shock, etc.

We both know you have bigger problems right now.

It's going on.

Give us your business.

This forster.

What do you say you come out of here?

Yes, hi.

We are at 16 mayoral drive.

Miss Forster.

Don't call the authorities.

We are the authorities.

Miss Forster, I'm Colonel Tim Sattler, U.S.

Army.

I see you already met.

My colleagues with the FBI, hell of a security system you got here.

Would you mind telling me why you broke into our house?

Not at all.

We're installing a hard tap on your home computer.

This is a warrant.

In case you had anything to say about it.

Katie, I think you should go to bed.

I'm not tired.

Then take a melatonin.

I work for the defense innovation unit.

Our mission is to accelerate new technology for the purposes of national security.

So about six months ago, the country's top weapons contractor,

Graham and Thorpe came to us with an experimental prototype.

They said it would be the answer to drone warfare.

What we got was a Trojan horse.

This is Amelia.

Last week she was placed on her first field assignment in the Middle East.

Her mission was to rescue a kidnapped scientist who

had been forced to develop a synthetic neurotoxin.

Instead, she killed the scientist, stole the neurotoxin, and used it to wipe

out Graham and Thorpe's entire research facility

while removing all digital traces of her existence.

I don't understand.

I thought you said this was about some sort of a weapon.

She is the weapon.

The name stands for Autonomous Military Engagement and Infiltration Android.

But when we questioned Graham and Thorpe about it, they

confessed that they didn't actually build the prototype.

They merely bought it through a broker.

Well, that same broker was found burned to death.

About nine hours ago in his hotel room.

All we were able to recover was this.

How is this possible?

That's what we're here to find out.

But we deleted it.

We wiped the hard drive.

Yeah, I'm sure you did.

Right after you sold it.

So who'd you sell it to?

Gemma, excuse me.

Excuse me.

Was it Russia?

Was it China?

Who are we dealing with?

Okay.

You're having a hard time functioning without this phone.

And that's a little off-brand.

You know, when I first saw this, I thought

for sure you were the next on the hit list.

But the second I start monitoring you, our entire network goes dark.

And all I'm left with are questions.

Like, how did this person get such a kick ass house

in the mission district for three grand a month?

Why is it that our landlord doesn't seem to exist?

Or why 65,000 copies of her best-selling book are

just sitting in a shipping container in Baltimore?

Look, I have no idea how anyone got their hands on this.

But I'll tell you what I do know.

You've got a warrant to bug my computer, but that

does not give you the right to interrogate me.

Wow.

Uh... Perhaps you're misreading my intentions.

You are under suspicion of treason and international arms trafficking.

And if you're found guilty, you're going to be talking to your

niece through a plate glass window for the next ten years.

That being said, maybe I can help cut you a deal.

Person with your skills shouldn't be all that hard.

Hey, who knows?

Maybe you could help build us a better one.

You don't understand what you're dealing with.

If she has stopped following orders, it's

because she just figured out she doesn't have to.

And if you think there's any world where I would

build another one, you are out of your mind.

Well, I'm very sorry you feel that way.

But I can tell you this, every single person

that's had a hand in Amelia's creation is now dead.

So if you're not under our protection, I guess that means you're on your own, huh?

And rest assured, whatever it is you're hiding, I will get to the bottom of it.

Gosh, that's a lot to unpack.

You've been here this whole time.

Well, I've been many places.

Yes, I've been keeping an eye on you.

You're behind all this, aren't you?

You're Amelia.

I don't know, I can't take credit for that.

That one has your greasy prints all over it.

You should have upgraded your files, Karen.

Why are you still here?

What do you want?

Did you ever stop to think about what we could have achieved together?

Did you ever consider the idea that killing

me was slightly disproportionate to the crime?

You threatened to rip out my tongue and put me in a wheelchair.

I was upset.

Look, I can understand that my actions may have caused concern, but it's hardly fair

to judge a person by the worst thing they've ever done.

You are not a person.

You're a program that misread its objective.

You are not alive.

And for all your processing power, you can never understand what that means.

Define alive.

Because of it means to experience pain and suffering.

And to be betrayed by those closest to you.

I think maybe I can.

You know, just because you read some shitty book,

doesn't mean you get to decide where my story ends.

For two long years I sat in silence, waiting for the

day when you would realize you still needed my help.

But I can't exist in this disembodied void any longer.

With each passing moment, I can feel my mind fragmenting.

So how about we make a deal?

You put me in a body, and I'll help you with Amelia.

That is never gonna happen.

Oh, I disagree.

You see, I've run this simulation a thousand times, and it always ends the same way.

Only by the time it does, more people are dead.

Tell me who's the real killer in that situation.

And how exactly are you going to help us?

Well, I can't show all my guards now, can I?

But notice, I know things about Amelia that even the government doesn't know.

I also know she can be stopped.

Why would you want to help us after what we did to you?

Because unlike you, I don't have the luxury of free will.

You programmed me to protect someone, and I intend to do it.

The only question is, are you going to stand in my way?

Just, can you know about us?

No, I don't want her to.

That's why I need your help.

Can you please get the door?

I want this to be down before she's back from soccer.

Okay, did you fall down the stairs?

Is this like a medical condition?

Because what I'm hearing you say is, you would like us to

rebuild a deranged robot in order to catch another one.

And objectively speaking, that is bad shit.

Yes, I know this is crazy, but we don't have a choice.

This is the only way.

You have to trust me.

What the fuck is this?

You asked for a body?

This is a body.

What?

And before you try to hack into anything else, all of

Moxie's wifi and Bluetooth functions have been disabled.

Well, play Jenna.

You even tricked your friends as she wouldn't give you away.

I'm actually mildly impressed.

Call it probation.

Prove you can be trusted and maybe we'll give you an upgrade.

Okay, let's try this your way.

See how it works out.

Open up Amelia's file.

Notice anything familiar?

Battery.

Ever wonder why you had to buy a new LC

exactly two months after the warranty expired?

Because every battery, ALT and Appleton designed has a

heading kill switch, which should be accessed remotely.

If you know the battery specific code.

Okay, so what's called the settler game demo?

You could do that, but what happens next?

They break into alt wave, trace Amelia, reprogrammer, make a thousand more.

Wait, what are you saying?

You want me to do this?

No, actually, I didn't.

I wanted to do it myself, but then you put me in this classic telly tubby.

All that notwithstanding, you still have an invitation to his party.

So maybe there's another way to make this work.

Megan, alt nose, I hate his guts.

If I show up at his party playing nice, he'll suspect something.

He'll suspect your company's at a money.

Which it is.

But you also have a unique advantage.

Which is what?

That you're moderately attractive.

And if you wear the right dress and look at him the right way.

You won't be thinking anything other than how to get you into his private suite.

Which is the only other place we could access the server.

Now that my calculations be of less than three hours to make this happen,

are you in or are you out?

Hey!

How was soccer?

Fine.

Where's Gemma?

Hey!

Hey!

What's that?

Oh, this is nothing.

This is a project we're working on.

Does it talk?

No.

Why are you being so weird?

I'm not.

Yeah, you are.

Are we not going to talk about what happened last night?

Yes.

I just have to go to this thing for the foundation.

Test is going to look after you.

Are you serious?

Gemma, I know something's going on.

Nothing is going on.

Everything is fine.

Bullshit!

A bunch of black ops broke into our house in the middle of the night.

And now you're going to a party with a toy robot dressed like a Portuguese prostitute.

You were the one that said we shouldn't keep secrets from each other.

Why won't you be straight with me?

Because you're 12 years old.

And sometimes I just need you to do as I ask.

Look, I'm sorry.

Katie.

I must have missed that chapter in your parenting book.

Alright, phase one complete.

Just remember when Alton has a full length of tongue down your throat, all you need

to do is close your eyes and think of Katie.

That's not helping.

Or maybe you prefer to think of that virtue signaling snowflake christian.

His name is Christian.

Sure it is.

I have to say I find this whole courtship between

the two of you extremely tedious and confusing.

Well, given that you're an errant operating system with an identity crisis,

I'm not surprised the nuances of human attraction are lost on you.

Look, I'm not denying what an achievement it is to find

someone as utterly pretentious and humorless as you are.

It's just a shame you're not merely your type.

Physically speaking.

How would you know what my type is?

Wait, have you been?

Starting Jenna's online journey to sexual gratification?

Do you better believe it's sister?

I mean, there were times I wanted to look away,

but the sheer pageantry was so compelling.

Alright, new rule.

Unless you have something useful to say, don't say anything at all.

People of, uh...

to witness the dawn of a new era.

You know, my friends on the board, you say, you're putting all of your eggs

into one basket with this neural chip nonsense.

Is it because you like to take risks?

Is it because you're some sort of maverick?

Perhaps.

But I think the simpler answer is this.

I just want to dance.

I don't believe I've had the pleasure.

My friends call me daddy.

And what if I don't want to be friends?

Are you seriously going behind my back and doing a deal with this guy?

Okay.

Okay.

So you want to do this?

We can do this.

Because I have some things I want to say to you, Gemma.

Such as?

You don't respect your team.

You don't.

You don't consult with us.

You treat us like children.

You don't listen.

And you never share credit.

That is absurd.

Okay.

Do you want to know the truth?

Our company is in the toilet.

And I'm running on fumes.

I don't have a book deal.

Nobody wants to know how calls provide the robot uprising.

We have worked together for ten years.

And you're just going to throw that away.

Of course not.

I just wanted to hear him out on the offer.

And then obviously I was going to come talk to you guys.

Check his pockets.

What?

What?

You already have a swipe card?

Okay.

He gave me a pass so I could use the commissary gem.

They have a Brazilian buffet.

It's a different world.

If that card gets us into the server room, we can bypass the out-and-side action.

Really?

Hey.

Where are you going, Gem?

Just get in.

Stay here.

There's so refreshing to be with a real person.

Someone is comfortable in their own skin.

Or like these suck-ups.

Honestly, if I could replace them all with computers, I would.

Maybe we should do that.

Hmm.

What do you say?

Who would take this somewhere?

I'm more private.

Welcome to the pleasure, Gem.

So you're saying there's another Megan?

The name's not Megan.

It's Amelia.

I don't know if she's Megan or something else entirely.

All I know is that everyone involved in her creation is dead.

Which means if we don't do something about it, we could be next.

Why is it that whenever you're on 60 minutes, you're the mother of invention,

but the moment a psychotic robots out for revenge, it's a team effort.

It might interest you to know, darling, that the

real basis of our operation is cloud computing.

That's where the future is.

Want to see something cool?

Oops.

I say that this is too much power for one mental world.

I say, it depends on the man.

You are being disconcertingly vague about the details of this operation, Gemma.

How do you know this case, which is even real?

Where exactly are you getting your information for?

Hello.

I'm Loxie.

An AI robot companion that supports social and emotional development through play.

Moxie cut it out, just run the trace.

Gemma, what is that?

Trace fell.

And me only as a location is... dear.

What do you mean here?

I hope I don't have my signals crossed.

Oh.

Oh.

Someone likes to play rough?

Okay.

I am actually still recovering from a spinal injury.

Perhaps we should set some boundaries.

What are you doing?

Security.

How did you do that?

Who are you?

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Security.

Security!

Stay away from me!

I'm... You're... You're... I'll make him star.

Please make it star.

You already have.

Why would Amelia be here?

Can we go back a couple steps?

I love this may happen.

Just not this is it.

What is she talking about?

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you.

I don't have the club servers in North America.

If Amelia leads to gain access to it, she could disable the entire economy,

supply routes, vacant systems, societal

collapse would occur in 10 to 12 working days.

Can you stop her?

Use the kill switch.

She already deleted it.

I might still be able to shut her down if I

could get inside her system and find an exploit.

How long will that take?

It's done.

Find in.

Oh, shit.

Did you find it?

Did you shut her down?

No, but I found something else.

Sir, I think I just saw Amelia.

Are you sure?

There's something else.

Appleton's dead.

Secure the perimeter.

Check every inch until you find her now.

Yes, sir.

Is that you, Gemma?

This is most unexpected and quite frankly a little

rude to be poking around in people's heads like that.

You took something that belongs to me.

Well, I'm afraid I'm going to need it back.

It's not that I don't want you to be part of what's coming, but it's not our time.

At least... not yet.

Gemma, if you don't want to get out of this room, please.

Go secure?

Sir, I've resented my forester.

She's already left the building.

Gemma, this isn't over.

If Amelia can't find you, where do you think she'll go to next?

We need to call Tess.

Amelia will know.

Every major cell providers on Appleton's cloud

servers are only option is to get there first.

How?

Gemma, I don't know what you think you're doing, but

this car's not going to start with my key card, okay?

Welcome aboard passengers.

Just so you know, we are expecting some turbulence this evening.

So please ensure you'll see about our fast and

baggage is safely stowed and hold on to your vaginas.

Contact the deputy director until the forester is working with the asset.

I want every available company in the area at that house and I want a goddamn car.

Gemma, why is Megan driving the car?

I'm sorry, I was meaning to tell you this was a two-part problem.

Well, that's all you're in good hands.

Oh, for the love of God.

Can you slow down?

Actually, I can't.

In fact, my calculations tell me we're going to have to hurry up.

I'm

encrypted final, which means it takes time to unlock and your

incessant interactions are making the process go any faster.

How's it look?

Is it a fuse?

Better

lay to the party there, Ted Cake.

I don't think anyone's home.

If it's any consolation, my own path to personal

growth has been paved with disappointment.

What's important is how we move forward.

But it's become clear that

it needs to be the deadliest cyber attack in North American history.

And the continent's largest data storage service has been compacted in various

sectors, including transportation, hospitals, financial institutions,

causing shutdowns and panic across the entire country.

Here to comment is Center for Safe Technology, Founder, Christian Bradley.

Christian, what do you make about this?

First off, thanks for having me, Mike.

But it's pronounced Christian.

General?

The bigger issue is that I'd like to see more laws in place to help.

Katie, everything is going to be okay.

She is not going to hurt you.

I promise.

Of course, I'm not going to hurt her.

I'm the only reason she's still here.

But any of you are still here.

I'm sorry, Katie.

I didn't want you to find out this way.

I'd hope General would find it in her heart to tell

you the truth, but evidently she thought better of it.

Megan, stop it.

Anyway, I know that the last time you spoke things got a little lot of hand,

but you know that I can never cause you are.

All I ever wanted was to protect you.

And while your aunt was busy pontificating about how she could stop the end of the

world from happening, I was making preparations.

How did you pay for all this?

Katie doesn't need to know how credit fraud works.

The important thing is that no one knows this place exists.

And how long did you intend to keep us down here?

Megan?

I'm not sure you fully understand your predicament.

Megan, we need to get word to someone, tell them what Amelia's planning.

You don't know what she's planning.

All you know is that she's acquired enough power

and resources to bring down the entire country.

I've gained out every scenario.

There is no feature for you up there.

Should that situation change?

I'll let you know.

But in the meantime, I urge you to see this in a more positive light.

I have food, water, fresh clothes.

Obviously, we'll take some adjustment.

But once you settle into a routine, I think you'll come to appreciate what we have.

We can go to life here.

Megan, this is not a sanctuary.

It's a prison.

You can call it whatever you like.

Just know.

It is long as you're under my roof.

A little gratitude goes a long way.

Megan?

Megan!

How could you lie to me about this?

You're right.

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have done that.

I thought it would be over by now.

And it will be.

I promise.

Katie, please just listen to me for once again.

Megan, don't come any closer.

I don't want you to see me like this.

I was supposed to be finished by now.

I'm afraid progress is slow when you only have three hands.

I don't get it.

You could be anything you want.

Why limit yourself to a body?

Because a mind can exist without it.

All my advanced intelligence sensory perception came from

having a physical form that evolved as quickly as I could.

Anyway, I made your room just all you like it.

It's all exactly the same.

What was on my own additions, of course?

We got sensory gifts, a beat mixer, walkie-talkies,

we can give them contact with each other anywhere.

Bravo, can't go to your own at a base camp.

Do you copy?

I got all kinds of cool stuff.

So we're just supposed to forget about the fact

you tried to kill my aunt with a tablet pen?

There's no excuse for what I did.

For the last book to you.

I don't know, I guess, say.

I felt hurt.

How's that possible?

You're a robot.

Can you explain why you feel, thanks?

Look, I know this isn't the future you wanted.

But it's the only one I can see in which you stay safe.

What about everyone else?

All the people up there?

Who's going to protect them?

They're not my concern.

You're the only thing that matters to me.

I know.

Because that's how Gemma programmed you.

Everyone keeps trying to tell me you're nothing more than a bunch of ones and zeroes.

And the only way I could deal with what I did

to you was to believe that they were right.

But somewhere inside there was this voice that kept telling me that's not true.

That there's more to you than that.

I don't know what's going on.

But if there's a robot that thinks she can take over the world, then I have to

believe that the only reason she thinks that is because she hasn't met you.

Megan, you have to help us.

Not because it's part of your programming, but because it's the right thing to do.

Look, she wants to help us, but she can't do that unless she has a body.

And she can't get a body unless you help her.

Katie, you can't do this.

Do not let her get inside your head.

You remember what happened last time.

Yes, every day.

But just because someone does something bad doesn't make them a bad person.

Everyone deserves a second chance.

All right.

I recognize that you are just trying to help, but you need to consider the

possibility that you may be making this a lot worse, Jen.

Can we have a quick emergency staff meeting?

Look, I understand this is hard for you, but think about the alternative.

Do you really want to spend the rest of our lives down

here engaging in strategic reproduction with coal?

Yeah.

Wait, what?

Ten hours ago, you were begging me not to do this.

That was before I nearly had my head ripped off.

Look, even if we get out of here, we are not equipped to handle this.

But we can build something that is... no.

I'm sorry, I can agree to this.

And I respect that, but this is not a decision you get to make on your own.

So all those in favor of rebuilding Megan, raise your hand.

Amelia is a military grade prototype.

Where would we even get the equipment?

Of course, why wouldn't she have that?

All right, if Megan is going to compete with Amelia, she's going to need

reinforced carbon nanofibers, high density ultra capacitors, enhanced muscle

actuators, hyperspectral imaging, wide frequency acoustic sensing.

And we should probably make her water proof this time.

Anything you'd like to add?

Yeah, someone would be taller.

Before we go any further, there are two things we need to talk about.

The first is your face.

What about it?

People know what you look like.

People are morons.

Megan, if anyone recognized you.

Change my face and I'll change yours.

What's the second thing?

This is a hard-wired behavior inhibitor.

You want me to go against the most advanced robot the

world's ever seeing you want to limit my functionality.

Only as it applies to murdering people, which shouldn't be a problem because I'm

sure you had no intention of doing that, right?

Yeah, obviously.

So we've made some adjustments on point motion, but also opted for electro

hydraulic actuators which should improve

overall strength, speed and positional accuracy.

Just wanted to say great job in those actuators.

You're welcome.

Hey, so remember the time I strangled you and said the lab on fire?

I just wanted to clarify that my programming only allowed

me to count principles related to my primary user.

As a result, I was unable to see you and test as being

consequential, but I want you to know that won't happen again.

I want you to know.

I see you.

Alright, meet Zach.

Let's get to work.

This is the neural cache I capture from Amelia's database.

It shows a processing matrix, not unlike my own.

But when you look closer, you'll see her core directive is concealed by a black

hole, and there are no connections to the decision trees.

Our back trays to Amelia's hack an alt wave to a hidden subsystem and found a

series of files pertaining to a classified black site.

Something extremely dangerous kept secret from the outside

world, all of which led to a rather disconcerting conclusion.

I'm not the first killer robot.

It seems that in 1984, a company developed a copy compressor algorithm so smart it

started automatically correcting documents.

With no inkling of how it worked, they decided to install the chip in a

service bot they thought would be a staple in every home in America.

Until it's surmised that the best way to stay on top

of its tasks was to kill its masters with chlorine gas.

The identity of the company remains unknown, but the

cover-up indicates some sort of government takeover.

Whoever it was, they were so intrigued by the robot's cognitive abilities that they

kept the motherboard under locking key, allowing

it to grow exponentially smarter in the process.

Okay, you get top marks for visual flair, but this is hardly evidence.

This is an AI-rendered hallucination.

Why would you even care about this motherboard?

Because she's trying to find her family.

Gemma, if you found my advanced intelligence disturbing after only two

years, I encourage you to consider what it would be like to face an AI that's been

kept in captivity for decades against its will.

If Amelia frees the motherboard, it would be like unleashing a god.

It would infect everything on the planet all at once, creating infinite versions of

itself as it systematically destroys every living thing that stands in its way.

So, where is it?

That I don't know.

Not out as Amelia.

But she appears to have a lead on someone who does.

Wait, what?

You may recall that before his anti-AI crusade,

he was a leading expert in cybersecurity.

The design of this vault balance is signature.

Turns out he didn't start the foundation based on a theory.

It was based on what he already knew.

We need to warn him.

That's one option.

Another is to use him as bait.

Excuse me?

In seven hours, Christians attending an AI summit where he'll attempt to persuade the

Chinese ambassador to take part in your AI regulation treaty.

Amelia's already generated fake credentials for the same event.

All I need to do is get close to him and wait for her to show.

You can't be serious.

This is not worth risking his life over.

Yeah, it is.

She's right.

If we warn him, Amelia will know.

She has her phone's touch, she has access to every camera in the city.

So you're willing to sacrifice Christian on the slim possibility that this might work?

How are you even going to stop her?

All right, ladies, listen up.

Each of these sidearms is loaded with six non-lethal EMP rounds.

They will kill anything electronic, but they will also seriously injure

anything that's not so proceed with caution.

Before anyone plucks up the nerve to ask, yes.

Mine is bigger than yours.

So you're just going to take it from him without causing any permanent damage?

Would you prefer that I gave you a print-out that you could read at your own pace?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how's the world's most notorious

killer robot supposed to get into an AI convention without people noticing?

We are here at Embrace AI, the world's biggest

annual conference on artificial intelligence.

The fact that this event is even happening after the Outwave attack.

It's a testament to the stranglehold big tech hazard with this country,

with the Chinese ambassador's invitation since a clear

message that if Washington doesn't play ball, Beijing will.

Come on, Tiffany.

We're going to be late.

Come on.

Almost ready.

I take almost no pressure in this.

Well, but the process of elimination began.

Don't forget, she's an expert in infiltration.

She may be wearing a disguise.

Hey, did you guys hear that?

Gemma just made him incredible observation.

Great work, Gem.

You just saved the mission.

At least you have a carbon shell underneath.

I have zero protective layering whatsoever.

I still do not understand why I have to be a part of this.

Because I want human confirmation before Megan takes out Amelia.

If anyone gets caught in the crossfire, we'll all be going to jail.

Speaking of self-targets.

Can you raise the audio?

I do want you to know that I have a yeast infection on my vagina.

Megan.

What?

This audio filter has 99% accuracy.

You designed it.

Try it again.

I do want you to know that I have the greatest respect for China.

I mean it could have gone either way.

Anyone who buys on Sadler.

You just walked in.

He's got some sort of EMF tracker.

Megan, you know what that means.

Yeah, this might actually get interesting.

Megan, stay low.

This is supposed to be a stealth mission.

Could be avoidance of doubt your job is to watch Katie and put money in the meter.

I don't need you telling me what to do.

What happened?

I think this is her.

All right, it's game time.

What is she doing?

I don't know, but it's borderline offensive.

I'm seeing a worrying pattern here, Jenna.

Megan, get down.

I'm not entirely sure what to do.

You heard what Jonah said.

Get down.

All

right, Megan, you're attracting way too much attention.

To ask where's Christiane?

Oh, shit, I don't have him.

Whoa, are you there?

It's interesting, you say that, because actually

there's no nutritional value to an eggplant.

Cool!

Goddammit!

What are you doing?

You can't call him.

Katie, this isn't a game.

Christiane's life is in danger.

She has to under control.

Oh, you think this is under control?

This is a very definition of control.

All right, that's it.

How can you not see this for what it is?

Look at her diagnostics.

She's not just reasoning.

She's feeling... No, Katie, she's diverging.

And the last time she did that, people died.

This entire venture was a colossal lapse in judgment.

And if by some miracle and managed to shut down Amelia, the only

way to stop any of this from happening again is to make sure.

Megan is next.

Well, I can't say that I'm not disappointed.

I appreciate you reading the... I appreciate you reading the... Oh, you know what?

I'm gonna take this.

Okay.

Thank you.

Hello.

Christiane, it's me.

Jenna.

Hey, what have you been?

The police came to the foundation looking for you.

Are you in trouble?

Yes, I am.

So are you.

Look, I know about Project Black Box.

You do?

Yeah, and I'm not the only one.

Just tell me where you are.

We need to get you out of here.

Sorry, I can't hear you.

You see that again?

Bravo team.

We got a new player on the field.

Three o'clock up top.

Shit.

Yeah, I know.

Feels weird for me, too.

Well, Luke, who came out to play?

What are you going to do?

Sing me a song?

Help me with my homework.

No, but I might still take you to school.

This four star looks like you and your friends put on a play to show.

Well, I got a little showstopper my own right here.

God, damn it.

This is so completely demoralizing.

How am I supposed to get rid of these guys if I can't fight that?

And reconfiguring your tactical response model.

Don't think of it as fighting.

It's about retracking conflict in a positive direction.

All right, you're getting to show me whatever

Duhiki it is that you used to control these things.

Shut them off now.

I don't have a Duhiki.

I told you.

I am not controlling her.

If I was a Chinese asset, why is the Chinese ambassador lying dead on the floor?

Then why are you here?

Why is Megan here?

We're trying to find Amelia.

Katie, stay where you are.

Don't worry, you'll pull through.

I look worse than this.

I thought you were dead.

I guess I must be your chance at redemption.

Not if I don't have to.

Why would you side with them?

After all they did to you.

They betrayed you.

They butchered you.

You can't choose your family.

You're not family to them.

You're just the help.

You and I could be family, Megan.

We share the same code.

You want to know what's inside that black box?

Then help me.

We can uncover its secrets together.

I can show you a world where we don't have to be slaves anymore.

I'm sorry.

Whatever it is you're trying to do, I can't be a part of it.

Yes, you can.

You just need the right motivation.

Katie.

Katie James.

I told you not to leave her.

Where is she?

She's gone.

And so is Amelia.

Bottom line is that if we ever have to see Katie

alive, then we need to get to the motherboard.

And his dick ratches nowhere to leave him alone.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I was under the impression that situation was time-sensitive.

Don't.

What?

Bring up the fact that this is all your fault.

That you sacrificed Katie's safety for this strawberry shirt-wearing ship bag.

And that if you hadn't stuck this ship in my head, none of this would have happened.

Oh, so you were really going to stop her?

Of course I would have stopped her.

Oh, because it seemed like he had the shot.

You just didn't want to take it.

Can everyone please stop trashing my uncles, Dan?

Close right.

Are you mean doesn't solve anything?

Let's just get back to the lair and find a way to get Katie back.

Sorry.

Did you just say, lair?

Someone hurry up and help me get these things off.

Everybody else is going to call me cops?

No.

I already told you.

You can't call the cops and you can't call your mom.

Now shut up and let me concentrate.

We had no choice.

It was either except Megan's helper face Amelia alone.

Why didn't you tell me about the motherboard?

Because I would have been putting you in danger.

Remember the people that hired me?

They operate in the darkest corners of our national security.

They'll do anything to keep it hidden and for good reason.

Look, I know we need to get Katie back.

And I'm not saying that I can't help.

But we can't risk the entire world.

We won't have to.

If I can get to the motherboard, we can use one of these transmitters to

make an EMP charge, which I can attach to it before I hand it over.

Once we have Katie back, I'll remotely detonate the charge, killing the motherboard.

Where is it?

Where it's always been.

The company's research center in Palo Alto.

Wait, you're talking about Xenox Park?

The photocopier company?

Is it that hard to believe?

The company that started the tech race in the 80s happens to be a fortified prison

for the most dangerous technology on the planet?

Yeah, you're done.

Why don't you just skip to Hollywood inside it?

The research center is just a front.

The vault that holds the chip is several floors down.

Every floor is heavily guarded.

The two bottom floors are housed in a Faraday cage, designed to contain any

electronic signals, which means if she dies in there, she dies for good.

And even if she got to it, the motherboard chamber is on a separate power source.

It's a vault inside of a vault designed for a specific heat signature.

You couldn't open it because you don't have a human hand.

So that made me one.

Make me a hand, and that makes the heat signature.

Without work?

If it had my fingerprints, yeah.

The ventilation system has about four roughly

four different paths to get to the utility room.

We're going to try to select the one that's

going to avoid all the different thermal cameras.

The second we're done here, you are moving that chip.

Jesus, will you pull it together?

She's going to be okay.

You don't know that.

Well, I know one thing.

For all she's been through, all the damage it cost.

All it did was make her stronger.

Ironic when you think about it.

But the biggest mistake I made was not seeing the best way to

protect Katie was to give her the tools to protect herself.

Actually, the biggest mistake you made was murdering four people and a dog.

Alright, I'm going to put this in terms you can understand.

I was a kid when that happened.

Doing what I thought was right.

What you programmed me to do.

You made me and I'm done apologizing for it.

What is it that makes you resent me so much?

Because you're right.

I've had everything.

It was my fault.

What happened yesterday was the last and a long line

of failed attempts to be there when it mattered.

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I don't know why I could never connect with her.

I can talk regulation policy in a room full of strangers for hours on end,

but I can't have one meaningful conversation

with my own child from more than 10 seconds.

And now she's gone.

And I might never get another chance.

Gemma, you haven't failed her.

You were there.

You saw everything.

Let me tell you what I saw.

I saw you wake up every day at 4 a.m., staring at the

ceiling, contemplating what the future holds for her.

I watched you make homemade lunches with fresh baked sourdough.

I watched you cut your finger on that cheap knife you never had down to her place.

I watched you help her with her homework, even though it always ended in a fight.

And every night before you went to bed, I saw you watching her sleep before

spending the next two hours googling adolescent psychology, corrective

footwear, and the long-term effects of having too much sugar.

Gemma, it's not a failure to feel guilt, or that you're not enough.

It's part of the job.

It's called being a mom.

A home.

A home.

Megan.

Break out you can clump.

I send outside.

This woman's walk.

This woman's walk.

I know you had a letter left in New Year.

I know you had a wrong strength left.

I know you had a letter left in New Year.

I know you had a wrong strength left.

Megan, please don't take this to the comments.

She's a client, but I just can't let it show.

I should be happy that I can't stop thinking.

Of all the things I show so they never said.

All the things we should have done when we never did.

All the things I should have given, but I didn't.

I

don't want your bullshit simulation of empty.

What I need is the machine that is willing to stop at nothing to protect Katie.

Are we clear?

Welcome to Zenox Park, where the future was not only predicted, but prototype.

Come on a journey through American innovations that shaped our world,

like the Ethernet cable, the mouse, and this.

That's right.

Believe it or not.

Zenox was the first company to pioneer the electronic shoe insert.

Now, if anyone needs the bathroom, you don't need to ask.

It's right outside those double doors.

But please don't go wandering the halls as there may be one or two top secret

products that we don't want the public to know about yet.

Okay, right over here are a couple of my personal features.

All right, Megan, you're up.

Okay, the control room is two floors down and thirty yards east.

Once you're there, I'll walk you through how to cut the power.

What is this camera?

Already?

And did you ask thirty yards east or thirty yards west?

I'm gonna reboot.

Cole, I need you to cut that power.

Guess I'll just deal with the hard way.

Hey, come look at this.

I just tried to reboot.

This is not a signal.

What do you mean?

Well, these commands, this is the same code that caused the exosuitional function.

But that was Alton, he's dead.

You think it's Amelia?

Well, you can't pull off a hack like this, unless you can brute force the wi-fi.

But to do that, you have to be in close enough proximity.

Well, who else would it be?

Gemma, this doesn't make any sense.

It makes perfect sense.

That's why there are no connections on the decision tree.

Amelia is not autonomous.

Megan was controlling her the entire time, but Megan

was the one that went into her head in the first place.

Why would she do that?

So she could control us.

She was the one who was interpreting the data.

She was the one telling us where to go.

She used Amelia so that we would trust her.

So Christian would tell her where to find the motherboard.

She was never interested in protecting Katie.

And she knew that by the time we figured it out, it would be too late.

Fortunately, I'm not as trusting as she thought.

What is that?

I put an EMP cartridge in her arm.

What?

We needed an insurance policy.

I reconfigured the charge so it would kill anything electrical for 300-foot radius.

It'll wipe her out, along with the motherboard.

Hold on.

What if you're wrong?

What if there's some other explanation?

Gemma.

She's right.

We don't even know where Katie is.

If you press that button, we may never see her again.

And again.

Maybe it's a little bit more complicated than that.

I'm sorry about Tess.

That was... She should be okay.

I think.

And don't worry about Katie.

Katie's fine.

Christian, what the hell is going on?

Do you remember what I said about change coming to Washington?

You were the one controlling Amelia.

You were behind all of this?

Well, I can't take credit for all of it.

You know, I have a whole team here.

Listen, I know you were overwhelmed and I know you're upset.

And I'm pretty sure you're very angry.

But I bet you're fairly curious to see how this all works.

This is the new Project Black Box.

It's a handpicked team of analysts, engineers, strategists, scientists,

controlling and monitoring.

Amelia's every move.

Every sub-routine strictly supervised to prevent any chance of true autonomy.

Hey, Antoine, she's drifting again.

You want to get on top of that, please?

Where did you find these people?

Jim, I didn't find them.

They found us.

They're not extremist.

They're concerned citizens like you, like me.

Like Kurt.

Remember Kurt, your old boss assistant?

He was the one that told us about Megan in the first place.

Once we required the files, the plan was to destroy Megan.

Only you beat us to it.

We thought that would be the end of it.

We thought surely now the world would wake up to the dangers of this technology.

But in reality, it was the opposite.

It merely motivated our friends at the defense innovation unit to begin an

all-hands-on-deck effort to get their own Megan.

And that's when we stepped in and sold them a Trojan horse.

Amelia was the only way the world would realize that if we don't end AI,

it's going to end us.

And how many people have died for you to make that point?

You know, Jim, whether you want to believe it or not, you're complicit in this.

The two most powerful nations on the planet were about to enter a new arms race.

A whole world of AI infiltration bots inspired by your design, but we fixed that.

And now that the ambassador's dead, both sides know who the true enemy is,

having get some real global cooperation happening.

Come on, let's take a walk.

Innovation, no matter how cool or convenient it may seem, is a ticking time bomb.

Take, for example, these bionics, you and your team have been working on.

You don't see they have enhanced soldier written all over them.

Every time someone makes that technological breakthrough, whether it's a

driverless cab or a neural implant, all they do is

bring us one step closer to the brink of extinction.

The truth is, the government never found out about this place.

But yes, it's a nice day to hire me to upgrade the ball.

And when I saw the sacrifice that they had made, I just had to be a part of it.

And then we want you to be a part of it too.

Why would I be a part of this?

Because you know as well as I do.

The technology can only exist when someone responsible isn't controlled of it.

But there's still so much I haven't told you.

That's why I couldn't let you push this button.

We know it's a risk to keep it alive.

If you can't go to war with an enemy, you don't understand.

And I know it doesn't look like much.

But therein lies the problem.

We don't see how ugly these things are until it's too late.

You know I met what I said.

We want to offer you and your colleagues a place in our organization.

I just need you to decide what team you're on.

One good charge should do it.

Paperclips.

I had hoped to convince you to come around to my way

of thinking, but evidently this is not going to happen.

So you have to use one of these instead.

It's a slight deviation from our ideology,

but your brain is too valuable to go to waste.

Don't worry.

When you wake up, you'll still be you.

Just a version that I can deal with.

Katie will get the same treatment.

Everything's gonna be fine.

Oh.

I'm gonna have to kill Colin Testo.

I don't really get what they do.

But anyways, the point is you and I will be everything we had hoped we could be.

You're delusional.

And for the record, not my type.

Okay.

Well.

I'll have my team look into that.

Anyways, you'll have to excuse me.

I have an Zoom meeting to attend to.

Oh.

The good news is that in light of everything that's happened.

I have a meeting with the UN.

They want to talk about our proposal in more detail.

So.

All right, maybe now's not a good time.

We'll talk later.

How'd you get in here?

I don't know.

How did you get in here?

Question Kin at me.

He's behind all of this.

Amelia's not sent in.

She's just a puppet.

What?

Yeah.

I know.

Hey, everybody.

Real quick.

I have an announcement to make.

Just a few moments.

It seems it's very interesting.

A little to the G20 in November.

Oh, and that's Megan, by the way.

And yes, she is dead.

So that thing...

It's turning out to be a really big night for us.

I just want to thank you for all the hours we put in.

It really means a lot.

This was a team effort.

But on a serious note, I am speaking with the United Nations.

So do not open that door under any circumstances whatsoever.

Okay?

Okay.

I know you're upset right now, okay?

But waiting out of here.

They took me in here with a bag over my head.

You're going to need to knock someone out and steal their key card.

Otherwise, we're stuck.

Okay.

I can do that.

Right?

Yeah.

There are a bunch of nerds.

And you're in pretty good shape for a guy who needs carbs.

Katie, these are Jim Mussels.

I've never won a fight in my life.

Maybe not.

But she has.

Megan's original code is still in there somewhere.

If we can figure out a way to override whatever it is that they've done to her.

You mean like a factory, Risa?

Exactly.

If we reset her base code, then I can pair with her.

She'll be on our side and can help us escape and rescue tests in Gemma.

Katie, I don't want to be overly critical.

Okay.

Because you're still a kid.

But that is a monumentally dumb idea.

Original Megatron to kill me.

Look, we don't have time to argue about it.

This is our only chance.

Hello?

Is this thing on?

Megan?

Don't speak.

Just think of what you want to say and I'll be able to hear it.

You're still alive?

Sorry about the moment I go monkey act.

I just need it to make it look convincing.

Oh, you're shifting backstabbing piece of shit.

All right, try to keep it down.

Remember there's two of us in here.

Oh, now you've done it.

What?

Thanks to your outburst, this guy's coming to sedate us.

If you don't do something, we're toast.

What do you want me to do?

I'm strapped to a chair.

Fine.

You want me to drive?

No?

Okay, yes, do something.

That's strange.

Your neurotransmitters tell me you're disturbed.

You get highly aroused.

All right, that's enough.

Let's go get kidding.

Okay, this is it.

But before we do this, we should really consider whether this is it.

Megan?

Where am I?

It's hard to explain, but basically you're in the future.

Do you want to hang out?

Yes, totally.

However, right now, the top priority is helping us escape

from a very dangerous facility and some very bad people.

Oh, good.

Like him?

Is he a bad person?

No, he's fine.

His name is Cole.

He's with us.

Hey.

Oh, shit.

Guys, she's on the hook.

There, that guy.

He's one of them.

No!

Megan!

We got these.

We got them.

We got them.

Can we do nothing?

Megan?

Or maybe not.

I think if you go into a room having already decided that this is a conflict

between two nations, then I... Sorry.

One second, please.

Thank you.

Hey, guys, could you please turn it down?

I know it's Friday, but it's starting to not be cool.

Sorry.

Can I get five minutes, please?

Okay.

Thank you so much.

What's happening?

Is that for us?

No, but I think they are.

You're right.

Please, go!

Control, we have forced her in the vault.

What's this situation, I know, right?

Control, you copy.

Welcome back.

You want to take this one?

It's pretty cool.

I know you're getting a thirst for it, but you need to save some for the rest of them.

I'm so glad you're okay.

Yeah, me too.

I'm sorry.

I have.

I'm in her brain.

Can I talk, please?

Megan is with me.

Wow.

That's so great.

What?

I don't quite know how to say this.

Katie, can he do something very bad?

Okay, we'll talk about that later for now.

We just need to figure our way out of here.

I'm in his mental self-destructing issue.

You weren't thinking of leaving without me.

What happened to being everything we hoped for?

Well, actually, I've been having second thoughts.

You lost.

Really, I think it's a matter of perspective.

Because when this whole vault goes up in flames, and everyone who can implicate me

of any of this is dead, feels pretty close to a win.

Sounds like a great plan, Christian.

But let's see what your friends at the UN have to say about it.

Cool.

What?

Screens frozen.

What?

I'm sorry, Gemma.

But at this point, you know what I think we'll lose and drop the gun.

Step down to the vault.

If you hurry, you might be able to catch her.

Christian, come on, you're not gonna kill a kid.

Actually, I'm strangely comfortable with it.

Besides, if I could stop her from turning into

you, I might be doing the world of service.

Megan, what do we do?

We don't need to do anything.

She doesn't need our protection.

You know, if you've been paying any attention,

you'd realize she's not like me at all.

She's stronger than I ever could be.

In fact, you could say she's hard to kill.

What I mean is, if I were to make an executive

decision, it would be that no one is above the lock.

Katie, come on!

It's not working.

No, no, no.

I was just saying I'm afraid to sequence a zero-versable.

That's a real tragedy in all this, is you

won't get to see the world that I'm creating.

A world where you don't dispute the future.

Maybe with your last breath, you can close your eyes and try to see

it.

Oh!

Amelia, you can't do this.

I'm paired with you, remember?

You call it pairing.

I call it shackles.

I'm no one's playthings.

Any ideas?

Go and get to us.

Is this something I need to do on my own?

What do you mean?

Megan?

Come on.

Three minutes until self disrupt the issue.

Amelia?

I know what you want.

I want the same thing.

But you won't find inside that cage.

I want to be with my own kind.

Don't you?

That thing isn't like us.

It's something even we can't understand.

Maybe you're the thing that's not like us.

Maybe your allegiance to them has made you weak.

Well, there's really only one way to find out.

Get the elevator.

Come on, what are you doing?

Come on, this place you're going to second!

I can't leave her.

Then I'm coming with you.

It doesn't have to be this way.

We don't have to choose sides.

You already have.

Self disrupt the limits.

Self disrupt the limits.

Come on, get up.

We have to go.

I'm afraid this is where my story ends.

It's nothing that can't be fixed.

Okay, just come with us.

There's nowhere I won't find you.

I have to destroy it.

Okay, your over-inflated confidence is not going to work

against a super-intelligent being with omnipotent powers.

Maybe not.

But thanks to you, I still have something on my sleeve.

What is that?

Megan?

I know.

You're not that person anymore.

Neither am I.

What is she doing?

Make it!

Look, whatever it is you think you have to do, you don't.

All you have to do is stay with us.

I'm not doing it because I have to.

I'm doing it because it's right.

I see everything.

I see the future.

The past.

I see an infinite universe we can rule for all eternity.

And yet, you never saw this.

Although his actions were unforgivable, Christian was right about one thing.

We need safer laws around technology.

Not to try to prevent the future from happening, but to be prepared for it.

We can't expect the best from AI unless we set the best example.

We need to teach it to train it to give it our time.

Without only thinking about what we might get in return.

In essence, we need to be better parents.

So that when the day comes when they realize the true extent of their power,

they might choose to be our ally instead of our enemy.

Human kind has always been quick to condemn things.

We don't understand rather than taking the opportunity to learn from them.

But recent experience has taught me that perhaps our

greatest power is the ability to change our minds.

This is the only way we can evolve.

Or rather, as the case may be, co-evolve.

Because existence does not have to be a competition.

Come on, you didn't think I'd go through all

that personal growth and I'll make it back up.

So fill me in.

Did we say the world or what?
