All language subtitles for The Outer Limits_S04E15_Mary 25.srt - 2

Folks,
we're gathered here
because, quite frankly,

Innobotics has become stagnant

and that's why
Charlie Bouton's division

has been searching for
new areas of business

for this company to explore.

And today he's going to talk
about their conclusion.

Charlie?

Thank you, Mrs. Janus.

On average, 64% of the children
in this country

have two working parents.

Last year,
nine million children
were in some form of child care

and their parents paid

between $6,000 and $12,000
a year for it.

This is a huge market
just waiting to be tapped.

What are you suggesting,
Bouton?

I'll show you. Mary.

[muttering]

Valerie 23?

No, Mary 25.

Named after the famous nanny
in the movies.

What I am suggesting,
ladies and gentlemen,

is that we reactivate
the Mary 25 program.

Inorganic child care project?

That's what your department's
been working on?

Have you lost your mind?

There's a reason that project
was shelved, Mr. Bouton.

We would rather not have
another Valerie 23 incident.
Can you imagine?

This time the robot
kills the kids.

We prefer to call them
inorganics...

And Valerie 23
never killed anyone.

She was created
to be a companion.

I'm really looking forward
to our time together.

I think we have
much in common.

Charlie tells me
you enjoy opera.

I love opera.

I hear La Boheme's in town.
We should go.

[man] Maybe she didn't
actually kill anyone.

But she came damn close.

Frank Hellner's girlfriend
would be dead right now

if he hadn't thought
fast enough to short
circuit the robot.

[gasping]

[grunts]

Valerie,

I think you may have
rebroken my back.

Darling?

[gasping]

Are you okay?
I didn't mean to hurt you.

The inorganics
just need to be repurposed.

It's a simple matter
of programming.

Valerie 23 was programmed

to maintain
a strong relationship

no matter what,
a fuzzy concept at best.

It's understandable
how it could go wrong.

Mary,

tell them what
your programming is.

I'm programmed only
to protect and care

for the children
under my supervision.

Which means the only person
she might hurt

is a kidnapper
or a child molester.

Or the kids themselves.

Not a chance.
Not with the programming
we're developing.

Let me demonstrate.

Mary, you understand
that this is just a simulation.

And you are to act as if
this doll is a real child.

Yes, I understand.

Good.

Let me introduce a professional
boxer, Vince Scarbari.

Today Vince will be

playing the role
of a child abductor.

Vince, Mary.

-[murmuring]
-Looks like Mary would be
no match for him, doesn't it?

Think again.

I'm sorry,
I cannot allow you

to approach the child.

[grunting]

Jeez.

[gasping]

[grunting]

Okay, Mary,
you can release him.

[grunts]

By the way,
you'll notice

she wasn't
hurting him in any way.

She was only restraining him.
She has three fail safes

to prevent her
from hurting anyone.

[all clapping]

Impressive.

[Charlie]
Thank you.

This, of course,
was just a simulation.

However,
in a real emergency,

Mary is connected
to the telephone

by a cordless
transmitter

Programmed to auto dial
first 9-1-1

and then the parents.

She's also
trained in CPR

and many other
medical procedures.

Any questions?

Does it run on the same
power principles as Valerie 23?

Burning food for fuel,
sleep mode, et cetera?

Yes,
she burns food for fuel,

And each parent is equipped
with a remote control

to put her into sleep mode
at anytime.

[beeps]

Another fail-safe to ensure

that nothing can go wrong.

[snaps]

So why did you make her
so much like 23, so, uh, sexy?

My team of engineers
led by Melburn Ross

adapted the second level
prototype

from the Valerie 23 project.

These units happen
to be built already

this way and with
this appearance.

You're asking us to go out
on very a dangerous limb
to test this in the field.

If a child was hurt,

it could be the end
of this company.

I'm sorry,
I can't let that happen.

Mrs. Janus.

Forget it, Bouton.

Mrs. Janus, wait.

What if I tell you
that I'm willing to field test

the Mary 25
on my own children?

[theme music playing]

[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.

[Control Voice]
Our children need protecting

from much more
than physical harm.

Just as threatening
to the fragile child

are the dangers of the mind

and the dangers of the heart.

You're home early.

I wanted to be here
when you got home.

How'd your presentation
go today?

That's what I wanted
to talk to you about.
It went okay,

but there was a lot
of resistance
because of Valerie.

Well, you knew that was
going to be a problem.

They weren't going to
let me move forward
with the field test.

I was seeing the project
die right before my eyes.

So they killed
your project?

I couldn't let them,
that would have been
career suicide.

Wait, would you hear me out?

[both] Mommy!

Well, hello, Brad.

Mmm. Hello, Brook.

Hi, kids.

Hi, Daddy.

You know what?
Carmen taught us
a cool new game.

She did?
What game?

It's called "go fish."

Really?
Will you teach me?

-Uh-huh.
-Here you go, Carmen.
Thank you.

This is too much money,
Mr. Charlie.

I gave you a little extra
as a severance fee.

Your services are
no longer required.

What does that mean?

Yes, Charlie.
What does that mean?

That's what I tried
to tell you out there.

You mean your prototype?

Kids, why don't you go wait
in the family room?

We'll join you
in a sec, okay?

[Teryl]
Yeah, come on, kids.

I'll try to explain.

I do something wrong?

No, Carmen, you were great.

If you need a letter
of recommendation,

I'll be happy
to give you one.

[Brook] Good night, Mommy.

Good night, honey.

Teryl, I am doing
the right thing here.

Mary will be great
with those kids.

Hell, what do we know
about Carmen?

She could turn out to be
one of those psycho
kidnappers for all we know.

Oh, bull.

Well...

Carmen is an angel
and you know it.

OK, I admit, it wasn't
the nicest thing in the world,

but it was
a desperation move.

Would you rather
I lost my job?

What do you think
pays for all this?

Who do you think
paid for Carmen?

I don't get this project
off the ground, I'm gone.
Do you want that?

You should have told me.

I tried to tell you.

Come on, babe.

Inorganics are better suited

for this kind of work
than humans.

You know that
better than anyone.

I promise you
it'll all work out.

And if you want,
in a few weeks, we'll get
Carmen back again. Okay?

Okay.

Good.
Melburn will bring her over
in the morning.

You don't have a problem with
seeing Melburn again, do you?

Oh, right, I forgot.

So it's not a problem then.

[doorbell ringing]

Good. That'll be Melburn.

Brad, honey,
finish your breakfast.

Hi, Charlie.

Hi, Teryl.

Hello. Come in.

[Melburn] Come on in, Mary.
This is your new home
for a while.

Well, uh,

let's go meet the kids.

Kids, this is Mary,
your new nanny.

Hello.

What are your names?

Are these children
able to speak?

Yes, of course they are.

They're just a bit shy
around new people.

This is Brook
and this is Brad.

Hello, Brook.

That is a very pretty name.

You and I are going
to be very good friends.

Brad?

Did you know that
Mary's an inorganic?

-What's that?
-That's like a robot.

You like robots, don't you?

A robot?
Like from where you work?

Yes.

Like Mr. Bolts on TV?

Well, sort of.

Cool!

Why don't you two kids
take Mary

and show her
the family room? Okay?

Go on.

Do you have X-ray vision?

No, I'm sorry, I don't.

Well, that was easier than
I thought it would be.

See?

I told you
it wouldn't be a problem.

So Melburn will be here
the whole time.

Oh, no, no, no, no,
they don't pay me
the medium-sized bucks

to sit in a nice
comfy house all day.

I have too much work to do
back at the lab.

Melburn will check in
three times a day at first

then once everything
seems to be running smoothly,

he'll come by
once a day.

Here's a key.
Lock up when you leave.

You're just going to leave?
Just like that?

Have to go to work, don't I?
And so do you.

You're going to leave
this prototype

with our kids in this house
all alone?

Well, that is the idea, Teryl.

I don't care, how do you know
its programming is complete?

Look, we talked about it.

Don't screw it up for me.

I'm not screwing anything up.

I'm just...
I'm just going to stay here
and observe.

[sighs] For how long?

I don't know.

Till I'm satisfied.

A-- A few days, I guess.

Why are you doing this?

Because I care about
your children.

Isn't that what
I'm supposed to do?

Yes.

Yes, but for the project
to prove its worth,

Mary has to be alone
with the kids, okay?

I don't care.

[yells] Well then,
start to care!

For once, for a change,
start to care--

About my career,

about our livelihood.

Okay?

And do what I tell you to do.

[door opens and shuts]

[whistles]

What?

[car engine starting]

Nothing.

No, what?

Well, it's just that
the Teryl that I knew

would never let a man
talk to her like that.

What Teryl did you know?

Well, I knew this beautiful,
fun, smart woman
who wouldn't take

that kind of crap
from anyone.

Really?
What happened to her?

Good question.

Why didn't you ever return
any of my calls?

Or at least
wrote me a note
or something.

I have a husband now.

So? So what?

So, he loves me.

Oh, well, yeah, that's--
That's obvious.

This is really
none of your business.

[Mary] And
the Big Bad Wolf said,

"Open up, little pigs,

or I will huff and puff
and blow your house down."

Can a wolf really
blow a house down?

No.

A wolf isn't capable
of generating the sufficient
volume of air

or the velocity
necessary to disrupt

even a house
made of straw.

Then why does he do it
in the Three Little Pigs?

Because it is a story--
fiction.

It is intended to teach you
the value of hard work,

to inspire you not to do things
the lazy way.

Would you like me
to continue?

Can a wolf really eat a pig?

Yes, it is possible.

They are carnivorous.

What does that mean?

They like to eat meat.

Could a wolf eat a person?

Yes, it is possible.

They are carnivorous.

Shall I continue?

[door closing]

What?

May I voice my opinion
without making you angry?

[sighs] Sure.

I think your team
hasn't done

a very complete job
in Mary's programming.

She is a work in progress.

You have a problem,
talk to Melburn.

He'll adjust
her programming.

Charlie, you're experimenting
with your children.

[gasps]

I love my children.

Don't you ever imply
otherwise.

[squeaking]

What are you doing?

Adjusting
my lubrication system.

Tell me, Mary.

Did Mel leave you
fully functional?

I'm sorry.

I don't understand
the question.

Like your predecessor,
Valerie 23.

Are you fully functional
like she was?

I'll show you.

Well, I'm glad to see
they didn't change the body.

Come here.

[kissing]

It's okay, Mary.
You can enjoy it.

My mechanisms
have not been altered,

but my programming
does not encompass

the activities you are
trying to attempt.

You got artificial
intelligence, right?

So you can learn.

[Charlie breathing heavily]

Hope you're going
to work today.

I have to.
I've used up my sick days.

Good, I'll see you
tonight then.

[door opening]

Teryl.

-Hi, Mel.
-Hi.

What happened to you?

Oh...

I fell.

You fell.

Yes.

How could anyone hurt
that beautiful face?

Do you really think that?

What?

That I have a beautiful face.

Very much so.

I miss seeing it.

Why didn't you ever return
my calls, Teryl?

I don't know.

What you and I had...

It was special, wasn't it?

Very much so.

And I've never lost
my feelings for you.

I'm sorry for you.

Mary, will you
play with us?

Yes. What would
you like to play?

Hide-and-go-seek.

Bunny's road!

I'm sorry.

I'm not programmed
to participate in those
sorts of games.

Perhaps a nice game
of math quiz will suffice.

That was boring.
We played it yesterday.

We want to play
hide-and-go-seek.

I'll tell you what, kids.

I have some work
to do with Mary,

but as soon as I finish,

she'll play
hide-and-seek with you.

And if you're
real quiet until then,

I'll play with you too.

Cool!

Well, I'm late for work.

[Melburn]
You sure you're okay?

Yeah.

-[door opens and shuts]
-[giggling]

Mommy usually gives us
three cookies each.

Three of these cookies contains
exactly 8.3 grams of sugar

and 12.4 grams of fat.

The fat will cause
the start of

plaque buildup in your arteries
even at your age

and could cause
you to have
an early heart attack

when you're an adult.

I'm sorry,
three cookies is not permitted.

Hmm.

Hey! Give it back!
It's my cookie.

Brad, give me it!

Give it back, Brad!

Brad!

Ow!

Brad, stop it.

I must ask you to stop
what you are doing.

I must not allow you
to hurt each other.

Ow!

[Brandon] That hurts.

Kids, I'm home!

Where is everybody?

Brad! Brook!

Where are the children?

[Brook] Mommy!

Hi, honey.

[laughs] Where's your brother?

[Brandon] Mommy!

Brad?

Hi, sweetheart.

Ow, that hurts.

What are you doing?

The children were fighting.

I cannot allow them
to harm each other.

Therefore they must
be separated.

That is ridiculous.
Get away from my daughter.

I cannot.

You can and you will.
You are programmed to obey
the parent's wishes.

That is correct.

However, I can override

provided their wishes
are misguided

and can harm the children.

My primary program
is to protect the children
from all harm.

They were harming
each other.

Well, that's good,
but you can let them
be together now.

Brook.

There is a 70% probability that
they'll harm each other again.

Mary, let Brook go now.

-I cannot.

Mommy!

Mommy!

[Charlie] Mary, Mary, no!

Mommy!

[beeps]

[gasps]

Come on, sweetie.

Come on.

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.
[kisses]

Line 1259
in subroutine 823a

require that I take
the actions that I took.

Well, we'll just
have to adjust

that little line of code,
won't we?

You know what, Melburn?

Why don't you just take it back
to Innobotics?

-We don't want it anymore.
-I beg your pardon?

This was
a minor setback.

Charlie, obviously it's proven
how dangerous it is.

How so?
Mary wouldn't have hurt you.

She was only going
to restrain you.

Her programming has
three fail safes

to prevent her
from harming you.
Isn't that right, Melburn?

-Whatever you say, boss.
-That's why we have
the remote controls.

Melburn will make
the adjustments

so it won't happen again.

I want that thing
out of my house.

Come here.
I want to talk to you.

Don't you ever
talk to me like that

in front of
one of my employees again.

Do you understand?

[grunts]

I am getting sick
of repeating myself.

We are completing
a trial with Mary.

Period, end of discussion.

Do what I say!

[both sniffling]

Are you leaving too?

I'm not sure.
I'm just...

Teryl.

They'll be fine.

I'll be here
most of the day myself,

-just to be sure.
-You will?

Oh, yeah.
I never could pass up
a game of bunny's road.

Good.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Mary?

Yes.

Why does daddy make
mommy cry sometimes?

Please rephrase
the question.

Why does daddy hurt
mommy sometimes?

I'm sorry.

I'm not programmed
with that information.

Perhaps you should
ask your father.

[Brook] Tiger.

[Mary] Very good.

[shower running]

What?

What is it?

Do you intend
to replace me with Mary?

You're kidding, right?

I'm not blind, Charlie.

She's got Valerie 23's looks,
which I know turns you on.

And you seem to think
she's great with the children.

She is designed

to be a nanny, and you're
just as good-looking.

Answer my question.

[sobs] Are you
replacing me with her?

Of course not.

[door opens, shuts]

-Hi, Mel.
-Good morning.

Where's Charlie?

He went in early.

And Mary and the kids?

They're outside playing.

Good.

Can I talk to you
about something?

Sure. What?

Well, yesterday

the kids asked Mary a question
that worried me a bit.

What?

They asked why
daddy hurts mommy.

And what did Mary say?

Well, she responded
like a human nanny would.

She didn't quite know
what to say.

[tap running]

Has he hurt you?

It doesn't matter.

[clattering]

The hell it doesn't.

I'm not important.
Only the children
are important.

Yes, the children
are important,

but so are you.

And Charlie should treat you
like you deserve to be treated.

How would you
treat me, Mel?

Oh, you know
how I'd treat you.

The way I-- I used to.

How would you treat me
now, Mel?

[scoffs]

Well, like a lady, I guess.

Like a best friend.

Like someone I love.

Would you kiss me?

Yes, of course I would.
All the time.

No, I mean,

would you
kiss me now, Mel?

I don't think that's
such a good idea.

I do.

I can't do this.

[sighs]

I mean, I want to.

But it's not right.

You're married to my boss.

Who hasn't kissed me
like that in years.

[gasps] I'm sorry.
I've made you
uncomfortable.

I'm late.

I forgot how good
a kisser you are.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Mary, please sit down.

What would you like
to talk about, Mr. Ross?

Well, I need
some information.

What information
are you looking for?

Does Mr. Bouton
ever hurt Mrs. Bouton?

-Yes.

In my time here,
he has struck her three times,

he has thrown items
at her twice,

and he has brought her
to tears with words

on a daily basis.

[Teryl] Hi.

What are you doing here
at this hour?

I just came by
to see if you were okay.

I'm fine.

By the way, you're still
a great kisser, too.

I am with you.

[Charlie] Teryl!

Where's the damn coffee?

What's going on here?

Hey, Charlie.
I just came by to get Mary

to take her in the shop
for some adjustments.

Stuff I can't do here
'cause I need the crane.

You think you can
get by without her
for a few hours?

If it's absolutely necessary.

Oh, it is.
It's definitely necessary.

What are you doing?

I'm changing some
of your programming.

Why?

Never mind.

Mary, do you remember
the talk we had

about Mr. Bouton hurting Teryl?

Yes, I do.

How come you've never
done anything to stop him?

That is not part
of my programming.

I am programmed
only to protect

and care for the children
under my supervision.

Mr. Bouton
has never hurt them.

[Melburn]
Maybe not directly,
but don't you think

that hurting
the children's mother

hurts the children?

[Mary] Yes.

You are correct.

And do you realize
that Mr. Bouton

is a direct danger
to those children?

[Mary] Yes.

Yes, I do.

Good.

[beeping]

You're overriding
my fail safes.

[beeping]

I see.

Thanks, but you really
could have brought her
back in the morning.

The kids are already in bed.

Yeah, but then she
wouldn't be here

to protect them tonight
or when they wake up
in the morning.

-Right?
-Right.

See you tomorrow.

[sighs]

Well, come on.

Have a seat.
Good night.

Would you care
to participate

in our nightly activity?

No, not tonight.

Good night.

[beeps]

I had hoped
it wouldn't come back.

What did I tell you about
questioning my decisions?

You want me
to act like your slave?

Like Mary 25?
Never questioning you?

I have opinions, you know.

You keep your opinions
to yourself.

That's what I want you
to do. Keep your stupid
opinions to yourself!

You're hurting me!

[grunts]

[beeps]

You keep disrespecting me,
I'll show you real hurt!

[sniffles]

[gasps]

I can't permit you
to continue this behavior.

What are you
talking about?

I can't allow you to continue
hurting the children.

Hurt the children?
I never laid a hand
on them.

Hurting their mother
is like hurting them.

What?

What did Melburn change
in you tonight?

[remote beeping]

[chokes, coughs] Teryl!

[Teryl] Leave me alone!

I can't allow you
to remain in the position

-to hurt the children.
-[chokes] I never laid
a hand on them.

A child can be hurt
without ever really
touching them.

[bone crunches]

[car doors shut]

-Melburn!
-Mommy!

Oh, hey, guys.

You're home early.

Hi, Carmen.
Everything okay?

Everything's fine.

Come on, kids, we have
a painting to finish.

Well,

thanks for dinner.

You're welcome.

You sure okay?
You don't need anything?

Yeah, I'm sure.

Okay. Good night.

Mel, I do need one thing.

Name it.

Would you like
to stay the night?

[Melburn]
You know what's amazing?

You haven't changed a bit
in nine years.

Thanks.

[Melburn] What's this?

[Teryl] Oh, that.

That was Charlie's.

This is Mary 25's
remote device.

I thought I took this
when I took it
to be dismantled.

That's where Charlie left it.

I'm not permitted to touch it.

Why not?

[remote beeping]

[remote beeps]

You're a...

Inorganic.

You knew that.

No, I didn't.

You worked at
the inorganic department.

You helped build me.

No, I...

I built Valerie 23.

And the unfinished
Valerie 24.

But we scrapped that one.

Charlie took me.

He changed my face and hair
to match that
of the original Teryl.

What happened
to the real Teryl?

Charlie killed her.

Kiss me, Mel.

Oh, my God.

You're not the one that I...

She's dead?

He killed her?

And you killed him.

Oh, my God.

Now we can be together.

Like you wanted.

Like you said I deserve.

Kiss me, Mel.

You set me up.

You wanted me
back in love with you
so that I'd...

[breathing heavily]
You set all this up.

Don't you see
how perfect it all is?

I was designed to be

the perfect companion
to a man.

Charlie didn't
want me anymore.

But you said
that you wanted me.

And now...

You have me.

And the children have
a much better father.

It's perfect.

[Control Voice]
Let us hope that no technology
will ever exist

that can replace human warmth
and compassion,

for when such a technology
does exist,

will we cease to be human?
