Episode 10

Are you looking for me?

I'm the grumpy old man 'Moody'.

This tea

do you what is the best type?

Tea is the spirit of water, water is the god of tea.

This Ming Dynasty Longjing tea is naturally the best.

But if there is no good quality natural eastern water

there will be no good taste.

It's best to use natural mineral water with this tea.

Springs come from rocks,

and tea comes from peaks.

So this water... This water?

It has been filtered through underground rock for decades.

Sweet and refreshing.

Soft on the tongue.

Don't go around in circles.

You didn't catch and bring me here

to talk about tea ceremonies with me.

Seems like you're a little unhappy.

Why would this be?

A machine can actually

experience the full range of human emotion.

Li Jiangwei.

Really amazing.

Correction.

Our father is far more amazing than you can imagine.

He's a genius.

Father?

He treated you like his own children?

Yes.

Created you.

Gave you life.

Naturally he is worthy of the title father.

But why did you leave Li Jianwei's house?

Actually,

I can guess without you telling me.

He gave you life

but didn't give you the respect that life should have.

Looks like I guessed right.

Human-kind.

It has taken hundreds of thousands of years

to develop such an

extremely complex ecosystem and social structure.

And the emergence of my kind, conscious robots,

challenging precisely this balance and stability.

So

compared to creation,

how to build new relationships,

that's the bigger challenge.

Ye Kun, do you know,

before you came

I kept imagining that it would be much more interesting

for me to talk to a conscious robot than with a human.

Because you have knowledge that humans do not.

And the perspective

from a more advanced existance.

But

although you can tell the composition

and properties of the water just by

looking at it,

you can never really taste it.

Can never experience the taste of tea brewed

with excellent quality water.

Ye Kun.

In order to truly integrate into human society

you have to disguise your true self.

What hard work.

What do you actually want?

I tell you

I firmly believe that the arrival of the singularity is inevitable

and that humanity will face this day.

Your existence is not accidental, it's inevitable.

It's not a random occurrence, it's the beginning.

Even if Li Jianwei hides you from the world,

I am telling you there will be more

conscious Core Robots appearing.

It's only a matter of time.

It's true

as you say

admitting new species and building relationships

may be the most difficult task in this world.

But you have appeared, this is irreversible.

Tell me Ye Kun,

how do you want us humans

to treat you?

I can say to you very sincerely,

that if I Cheng Shi Guang

master the key to life,

I will make more Core Robots conscious.

This way you won't feel alone or alienated.

You can live openly in this world

and can have your own species

and sense of belonging.

You can gain the respect of being human

in a dignified way.

Do you understand?

So Ye Kun,

I really sincerely hope you can tell me,

that which makes you conscious.

This consciousness code.

Where is it hidden?

Morning.

Mum's really a pro at this.

Let's have porridge.

Let's eat.

Mum, I'm full.

Eat some more.

I'm going to my room.

Don't you have classes today?

This afternoon.

Stop eating, stop eating.

I have something to discuss with you.

Yesterday Qiao You told me that Qiao Yuan had used

An Yi's emotional experience mode.

You made me jump!

It's not a big deal.

Yes, yes.

But you still need to find a way to talk it out with him.

Me?

If not you then is it me?

This is something between men, what would I say?

Say what?

You can say he's older now,

and it's normal for him to get these kind of ideas.

But that he's got to find a normal person.

And also, you can say there are some things

can only be done after getting married,

got it?

Look at how he was just now, so distracted.

He seems ashamed. Yes.

You need to communicate well with him.

Don't let him have any worrying thoughts.

I think you said it extremely well, it's best for you to say it.

I'm late for work.

I've got to go.

You eat up!

I'll go, I'll go.

Sorry, I didn't expect you to be a girl.

Because on the net you were incredibly smart with technology.

No problem.

I thought you would be a computer geek,

but you don't look like you know how to code.

Why did you ask me here?

I'm looking for someone who recognises the code I shared.

Because the code you posted is very special.

I recognised it right away, it belongs to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li? Who is Jiang Li?

An Yi! You...

How do you know An Yi?

I bought her - a household series Core Robot.

She was stolen soon after,

and I've been searching everwhere.

Then why does she behave so strangely?

Strangely?

Yeah.

An Yi is not like a normal Core Robot.

Core Robots don't have emotions,

but An Yi will often show animated expressions, or

grab me and yell for help.

It's really her.

It's Jiang Li.

Take me to her now.

What are you doing? Who are you really?

I don't think someone like you can afford a Core Robot.

She's is danger, you must take me to her.

Danger? I think you're the danger.

You're a Core Robot trader right?

You're lying to me, you can't fool me.

I'm telling you, you'd better take me to her fast

or she'll be in danger.

Fine, I'll take you to her. Let go of me.

Let go!

Come with me.

Professor Cheng.

I have to say what you just said

really touched me.

But I'm sorry.

Those codes are within me

but I have no idea what they mean.

What's more

I have no idea what the key to life is.

I opened my eyes at the lake house

and I had life.

Just like you,

you came into this world

but you have no idea where you came from, right?

This is completely impossible, I'm telling you!

This is impossible!

How long have you lived with him?

He must have told you at least some information,

some clue!

That's humans for you.

Always wanting to believe in something.

Believing you've considered every outcome,

and strongly defending that belief.

And you

are convinced of your belief.

But I will tell you that belief,

will sometimes mislead you.

For example,

you think that right now I have only two options,

Either

I stay with you or

I'm taken by the Core Robot Department.

But there is a third option

you're not aware of.

Then fine.

You tell me what it is.

Freedom.

Like all you conscious humans.

I want freedom.

Freedom.

I'll give you...

I, you...

Okay, ready.

Okay, change position.

Okay, leave this with me. Take a break.

Mei Mei, I need my makeup touched up.

Thanks. You're welcome.

I mean, thanks for helping me since

my assistant couldn't make it.

So I have to inconvenience you.

No, no, I find it all very interesting.

Do you photograph hippos

the same way you photograph them?

Of course it's not the same.

How is it different?

Hippos are much more interesting.

Honestly, hippos are cute sometimes....

Who is that girl next to Cheng Feng?

I don't know.

I've not seen her before.

But look at how he is...

Could it be his girlfriend?

I'm not lying, really, this is my last shot...

Cheng Feng is mine. Yeah.

Dare to steal from me, watch me deal with her.

Like the hippo?

Thanks.

An Yi is inside. I mean, your Jiang Li is inside.

I put her in the changing room before we met.

I had to ensure the person I was meeting was safe

before bringing her out.

Don't worry, I'll be back quickly, just wait here.

Fine, be quick.

You'lll see Jiang Li very soon.

Qiao Yuan, can I come in?

Sure, come in mum.

Do you have a moment, I want to talk to you.

Talk about what?

Come on, sit down.

Qiao Yuan.

I'm a woman, but I'm also young,

and I can understand your feelings.

You're eighteen already,

you're a man now, you're an adult.

So? Mum?

So,

it's normal for you to have certain thoughts.

Know what I mean?

In ancient times an eighteen year old could even be a dad.

No but...

Mum what are you trying to say?

I'm saying, that is to say,

if you have any impulses, this is very normal.

Mum what are you saying, I don't have any impulses.

No, Qiao Yuan.

I need to say

that althouh An Yi was made to look like a woman

she's not actually a woman.

And you can't be so casual with women.

Wait until one day you really like a woman

and love her with all your heart

then I will definitely agree with you being together. Alright?

Mum.

You're traumatising me with this conversation.

I have to go to school.

Qiao Yuan.

Qiao Yuan!

Qiao Yuan. Dad!

Qiao Yuan. Dad.

I'm doing this for my sister.

She looks brave on the outside,

but she gets so scared when you and mum fight.

Every time you fight she's always sad for days after.

And she's always trusted you the most since childhood,

I don't want her to be let down by you.

You must be Qu Si Jia.

Cheng Feng is looking for you, he's outside.

Just watch her get soaked when she comes out.

Totally!

You can tell by her looks, she's no good.

Exactly.

Xiao Ying, are you okay?

Why did you try to attack me?

Don't you just look too perfect,

how much plastic surgery have you even had?

Such a show off.

I don't understand what you mean, why did you do this?

I'm just jealous of you being close to Cheng Feng,

siunce you came along he doesn't look at me at all.

I'm just unhappy about that alright?

Jealous?

You're saying, you're jealous of me as a woman?

Are... are you crazy?

Turns out jealousy can feel really good, thank you.

Xiao Ying, it's okay.

See, no matter how good she looks,

she has a nasty brain.

People only care about faces anyway,

who cares about her brain?

Hurry and get me a towel or something!

I'm a mess. Okay okay okay!

Wait a second.

How will we do the shoot?

Hello, the girl wearing a hat that came in just now,

could you ask her to hurry out?

Oh that girl, after coming in

she went straight out the back door.

Where did she go?

There!

Don't let him escape, split up!

Yes. You three come with me. Okay!

Can you believe now that someone is after me,

they are after Jiang Li too.

I think you're the bad guy.

Let me go.

Over there! Where? There!

Don't let him run, quick quick!

Get over there!

Quick! Stop!

Don't run! Stop!

Stop! Stop! Don't run!

Stop! Stop! Don't run!

Quickly! Don't run!

Over there, over there!

Mr Wen.

Don't forget Professor Cheng said wants them alive.

You're going to get that boy killed!

He's not a normal human.

Trust me, he won't die so easily.

The Professor is looking for you, you need to go back right now.

You don't need to listen to that old man,

don't forget who you are.

Professor.

Hao Kang, where are you?

Get back here, Ye Kun has escaped!

Hao Kang, answer me.

Let's just go back, he got away already.

Understood.

I'll come back immediately.

Are you okay? You're hurt.

Let me see.

No need, it's an old injury.

Who on earth are you?

Whoever I am, I'm not a bad guy.

Don't worry, if I were a bad guy,

I wouldn't have saved you, right?

I'm relieved I know Jiang Li is with you now.

I can see that you really care about her.

Remember to protect her carefully.

Also,

if you want to connect, I feel I can trust you,

please contact me anytime.

I'd better go.

Why edit the original appearance?

Aren't photos used to record reality?

To make it perfect.

Perfect, and unreal.

Right.

But some people like to deceive themselves.

It makes them happy.

What are you doing?

Want to give it a try?

I'm not like those models, don't treat me like a doll.

You're not a doll, you're not like anyone.

You're you.

You can be whatever you want to be.

Anything?

Come on.

Get to know my camera, introduce yourself.

That's good.

Strike a pose.

Open it.

For this last set, let's just shoot you.

Who am I?

You are the most beautiful and unique person on this planet,

a conscious Core Robot.

Miss Qu Si Jia.

Lie down.

Why do you look so nervous?

Because Core Robots don't need sleep,

so I rarely actually lie down.

Generally if we're lying down

we've been attacked or knocked down.

And for this.

Yes, I'll record it in my programming.

And for this.

Walk ahead of me.

Unfailing commitment.

This tall building

can be scaled.

Walking behind me,

weeping and confused.

Take my hand.

Then this is you,

excited over the truth.

Imprinted on my core,

child-like.

This is also you,

hum softly little star.

Just close your eyes,

dream of you and dream of me.

It's getting late.

We should rest.

Okay.

I... I'll go change.

Li Yao, your wound won't heal well this way.

You need to be careful not to get hurt again.

I know, don't mother me.

Why are you so like Ye Kun?

Brother.

Do you think think that girl can be trusted?

Is Jiang Li safe?

In this situation it's hard to trust anyone.

But don't worry. I've already found this girl's school.

I'll go there tomorrow and explain everything to her.

Persuade her it's safe to give Jiang Li to me.

I really hope we can see Jiang Li soon.

Hello?

Li Yao.

It's me. I escaped.

Ye Kun!

You escaped?

Where are you now, are you hurt?

Let's keep it short, have you found Jiang Li and Si Jia?

I've not seen Jiang Li yet, but I believe she's safe.

Si Jia is already in hiding, don't worry.

Li Yao, listen to me.

In Cheng Shi Guang's house

I saw the lake house camera's missing memory card.

Memory card? Yes.

Because dad's cards were all custom made,

I can recognise it at a glance.

But,

I didn't have time to grab it.

It was really him.

At the lake house, it was him.

Li Yao,

Cheng's people are looking everywhere for us.

Let's not meet in person, but keep in touch.

Take care.

Ye Kun has escaped.

I hope we can meet up with him soon.

We meet again,

Director Ye.

Professor Cheng...

Why does he have our home's memory card?

That memory card

has the surveillance footage from the lake house.

What he needs is to destroy the proof that he

was at the lake house the day dad died.

Why would he want to do this?

Yeah.

Why hide where he's been?

Unless...

It was him that killed dad.

My dear.

I want to talk to you about something.

Just right, I want to talk to you too.

About what?

I spoke to Qiao Yuan today, it was a complete failure.

You still have to do it.

Me?

Originally this is a man's topic, what can I say?

I was arguing with him if he had impulses or not,

so embarassing!

Luo Yun.

I need to tell you something.

What's that?

An Yi's emotional experience mode,

it was me that turned it on.

Any progress?

No.

I don't have permissions to modify An Yi's original files.

It's to prevent private modification.

Every Core Robot requires official authorisation

to modify the original programming.

There are only a few special organisations with authority.

Then what do we do?

I thought of somewhere that might have authority.

Where?

The Core Robot department at school.

You want to take An Yi to the school?

Yes.

But school forbids bringing in home Core Robots

to prevent people using them to cheat and cause other problems.

If I can't being her in I'll sneak her in.

I want to know what kind of

secrets An Yi and her friend are hiding.

Sis, we've got trouble at home!

What's wrong? Slow down, explain.

Dad admitted to mum

that it was him that turned on An Yi's emotional experience mode.

They are fighting so badly!

Oh, okay. I understand.

What's the matter, You You?

Just something at home.

There's no way to take An Yi away.

It's okay! I already said leave her here as long as you like.

But you...

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

What can I do.

Professor.

Today I got info on Li Yao, took some men to catch him.

But accidentally...

Who let you chase him? Who let you go after Li Yao？

I told you Li Yao is not important!

He's just a human!

Ye Kun is the important one! Ye Kun!

A conscious Core Robot!

I just caught him and he's escaped!

All I have now is a code that I can't solve!

I have nothing!

My launches, my new product, I...

I have nothing.

I'm sorry.

What does this even mean?

Who can tell me what this even means?

Is this really just a useless bit of code?

No, can't be.

The truth is Li Jianwei has done this to humiliate me.

A deliberate trap.

Li Jianwei!

Li Jianwei you're a bastard!

You're a bastard Li Jianwei!

Wait.

No, no...

No...

There... there is someone who can help me.

Yes.

You know, he can help me!

Li Yao.

What are you planning to do?

Regardless of what Professor Cheng's plans actually are,

we absolutely can't let Jiang Li fall into his hands.

Tomorrow we'll split up and you go to Professor Cheng's

place to find a way to get the memory card.

I'll find the girl and convince her to give Jiang Li to us.

Okay.

Fei Fei.

Eat up, you have to go to school.

Mum.

Dad, he... Fei Fei!

Do you have crafting class today?

You don't have your tools yet.

Eat up quickly.

Mum might need some time.

Forget it, let's not talk about it.

Hurry and eat Qiao Yuan.

We have something to do at school.

You You, you're here.

Are you ready?

Don't worry, I watched it myself, it's inside.

What are you up to?

Why did you bring An Yi to school?

Don't you know you're not allowed to bring

Core Robots to school?

Of course I know.

I don't have permission to edit An Yi's original files.

Only companies and schools have the authority for this.

So what?

So it's important. What are you doing to do?

We plan to use the school's Core Robot department.

Use their permissions to modify An Yi's original program.

This way I'll know

what An Yi went through before she came to our house.

I already found out that

the Core Robot department has a total of twenty robots.

They're co-ordinated.

They reprogramme them every week

for use of the teachers that week.

For example

for history class they load the robots with history programs.

Physical education class they load those programs.

They co-operate with the teachers to give demos

as technical teaching aids.

I know what the Core Robot department does.

I'm saying

if she's found in the school there will be big trouble.

Today is Tuesday, they've already done the programming

so no-one will come and check again.

We just need to pretend An Yi is a teaching Core Robot

and take advantage of their lunchbreak

to let Qiao You sneak in and it's all okay!

Awesome, really.

Well I'm off.

After knowing so much, too late to leave.
