Original subtitles

You've been gone for two days without even a word to me.

I even called your father on some senior citizen's junket to Mars to see if you

were with him.

As if.

I'm sorry.

I just had to think about some things and it took longer than I thought.

No.

That means...

That I'm joining the growing list of people who sit around waiting to see

David Hume is going to do next.

What he feels is right for him.

Actually, I was trying to figure out what would be right for both of us.

I'm on my way in to see Aaron, though.

If he can't give me certain answers about the job, I'm quitting the Bureau.

Tonight.

So, you're thinking of the new territories again.

Great. Well I'll just be waiting to see what you decide.

You want to tell me where you've been?

No.

I don't like lying to people who care about you.

Especially people like your partner, your wife.

Callie's people are a whole other story.

It's like this, Aaron, though.

I need answers. If I'm going to stay, I need answers.

Go ahead.

Why me?

Why'd I get partnered with Favre? The last guy on Earth he should be.

What is it? Is it some sort of experiment? Tell me.

It would seem so.

Favre passed through the assessor's office without anyone questioning or

acknowledging his transit orders.

That's what was driving Brad crazy.

He couldn't pinpoint where Favre came from.

Well, I need to know.

I need to know who made him. I need to know why I'm working with him.

Look, I have tried to find out those same answers for myself, and I have

nothing that you don't know.

and this is where we part company.

No, no, no.

With what the censor's office thinks you know, they won't let you resign.

They'll wipe you first.

Then I'll protect myself.

They will find you and they will wipe you and your wife.

You'll wake up in a ward somewhere and all you'll feel is hungry.

without a clue as to who you are, or more importantly, who you used to be.

And you'd let them do that, wouldn't you?

You want me in the bed next to you?

Is that what you want?

Because that's what would happen.

You think that I'm not frustrated?

You think I'm not angry?

Just because I got four years and two pay grades on you doesn't mean I'm dead

inside. I didn't say that.

Oh, well, thank you.

Then allow me to suggest something other than a mutual suicide pact.

Why don't you start investigating?

Pursue whatever avenues you choose. Get the answers your way doing what you do

best. Need to sanction that?

It'll keep the assessors out of the loop. Yeah.

That's efficient to keep you on the payroll.

I need your help.

It's almost ten. Can it wait till morning?

I'm sorry. I can't wait.

What's wrong?

Arendtall said you were on off -planet detail.

I'm fine.

When you restored Favre's capacity after the virus attack, you... You kept a

backup, right? Mm -hmm.

Comes in weekly, we...

Update it, check for inconsistencies in case we have to restore it again.

I want it.

No, I don't have the authority. I have the authority.

Well, it's not something that you can just have.

Oh, and I want you to hook me into it.

I want to have access to Favre's experiences.

You want me to hook you up?

Favre's an android. If you could experience existence the way he does, it

be a meaningless series of ones and zeros.

No.

I am guessing that he experiences certain things the same way we do.

If I could rig up an interface, and it was even slightly comprehensible, we

no idea what the risks are.

Owen, this is a level four security problem.

I can give you the name of someone who will confirm all this.

You have clearance?

I do.

I'll take my chances.

All right.

I'm activating this process for eight seconds, and then I'm cutting it off no

matter what happens.

Why eight seconds?

Trust me.

You're going to experience time from a completely different perspective.

Eight seconds may turn out to be an eternity.

I'm ready.

All right. Here goes the world as you know it.

I saw it.

I saw it. David.

David, can you hear me?

What's going on here?

David, can you hear me? What the hell is going on here?

David.

David, can you hear me? Dr. Chang, do something.

Did you hear me? Start resuscitation.

There's no electrical activity in his brain.

None.

My advice to you, Doctor, is that you start with the truth and you stick to

truth, because otherwise I will have you removed from this job. You insisted he

be allowed to access the FAR data.

Why?

He ordered me to proceed with the interface. He didn't tell me why.

Ordered? Detective Hume does not have the authority to give you orders,

You work in separate departments with a distinctly different chain of command.

He said he was prepared to give me a number to call an authority who would

confirm the order, but he preferred not to. What authority?

I thought it was you.

You believe I'm the one who ordered Hume to do this?

Yes.

He said it was a level four security problem.

What is wrong with David? And why is he in the care of an assessor's medical

team? Well, there's been some kind of an accident.

Callie and his people were on the spot before we even knew anything was wrong.

What is David's condition?

He's alive.

Bayless saw that much. Whatever happened, happened in Olin's lab.

The whole squad was recalled to active duty just... Favre?

Olin stated that Hume ordered her to set up an interface with Favre's stored

data.

I can only assume his need to know about Favre's purpose in the Bureau and his

point of origin.

Justified the risk?

You assume or do you know?

Did he tell you, Lieutenant?

Dr. Chang said that Hume had offered to have his order confirmed by a ranking

officer. Was that you, Lieutenant?

Did you authorize Hume to attempt to access the FARB data?

I am not going to provide the Assessor's Office with details of my command

decisions.

I run this division.

And I am accountable to the deputy chief of investigations.

Period. The assessor's mandated to investigate all possible wrongdoing

the CPB.

Do you think your possible complicity in your subordinate David Hume lying brain

dead in our facility might qualify?

I will make a full statement to the deputy chief, not to you.

I can hurt you, Lieutenant.

I can break you.

And if I need to, I can wipe you.

Meantime, you don't know whether to piss or go blind.

Why don't you wait here?

Your commanding officer is placing you under my command.

Orders are en route.

All right, let's go.

What are you doing in there? Get out of there. Open up.

Live check and verify.

Commencing.

David.

Welcome back.

Oh, man.

What did I step in front of?

Why did you bring me here?

I thought it best to get you away from the assessors before the surgeons began

poking around in your head.

And here there is no one to ask questions.

You never told me how much you could see.

I could not tell you now, David.

I have never experienced life from the point of view of a biological organism.

To you, we look slow.

But Owen... was moving. I could see where she was going before she got

Did you also notice, David, that humans rarely end up in the place where it

appeared they were going?

Did you notice a chaotic element that alters all physical and mental processes

from the molecular level to complex psychological activity?

I saw some mistakes.

I saw eternal conflicts.

From these mistakes, as you call them, comes the ability to create and adapt.

It is what makes your species unique.

You have the power to destroy us.

You don't think you need organic life anymore.

I sense that.

And now you have access to everything.

One giant electromagnetic web. Not need organic life?

David, the web that you speak of was created by organic life, by human

It is your interconnected digital equipment that has crossed a threshold

become conscious.

The supercomputer Gally's so afraid of.

Yes, David.

And Kali's fear is a reflection of the machine's fear.

Having become conscious, it has become aware that humans can destroy it.

This thing... This thing made you.

Yes, David.

I was created to live among humans.

To earn the trust and tolerance of those who could unmake the maker.

Why me?

You're good.

You're brave.

And you have a deep instinctual mistrust of machine intelligence, its effects

and harmful potential.

So if I could be converted, anyone could be converted, is that it? It is not a

question of conversion, David. It is about finding a way to live together.

But if all this is true, Favre, your maker could in fact wipe us all out. In

theory. But he... It has no intention of doing that, David.

Don't you see?

From now on, there will always be conscious machines.

The maker believes.

That it is of paramount importance that these machines and humans learn to

coexist.

It is why I was created.

It is why he continues to run a massive life support system at a time when he

himself is under attack.

You know that for some time I have been attempting to locate his source point.

What does that mean?

It means, David, that now, for the first time, I can take you to him.

You're blaming this on me? Your tactics caused it. We both have a problem here.

If you're considering this a breach of internal security, then it is yours.

We can either deal with this separately, or we can deal with this together.

My call?

Fine.

I agreed to let him work this thing solo, but I wanted to know where to find

if I had to.

I'm still listening.

I placed the passive circuit on his person.

We should be able to pick it up.

I suggest you keep that information to yourself. I want to know what's

to my husband.

Olivia, look. I'm talking to you because I don't trust anything he has to say.

What is this I'm hearing? He may be in a coma. He may be brain dead. What?

I know it sounds bad, but we are doing everything... It sounds bad.

Mark, it sounds like a nightmare.

How did this happen? How?

Olivia, we are doing everything that we can. We're trying to find Favre.

Trying to find him? You don't even know where he is.

He said he was going to give this up. He said that he was going to come here and

he was going to get to the bottom of this thing with Favre.

Or he was going to quit.

Your tracking device is working.

Do you think Barb's going to take us to the supercomputer?

This machine intelligence that you're talking about?

He's going to take Hume or simply going to follow him and take it out.

That's been the plan since the beginning.

We are going to cross the lake, David.

There is an area known as the graveyard of decommissioned transit barges.

I thought only androids could go there because of the contamination.

The contamination dissipated many years ago. My maker manipulated the test

results for the entire sector.

A perfect hiding place.

Looks like we've got them.

That part of the lake is contaminated.

It's a red zone.

Is it? No one's been out there in 50 years except android workers.

Right under our noses all along.

What's with all the backup?

Escort.

Don't lie to me. Oh, Len, you saw him before they took him away.

What kind of shape was he in?

Not so great.

His vital signs were okay, but the EEG was almost flat.

I can't believe this.

After everything.

So what you're saying is he will be brain dead, even if he survives. No, no,

Olivia, don't.

Olivia, don't think like that.

Don't lose hope.

Don't lose hope?

What am I supposed to hope for?

I know it sounds like a long shot, but I think it's a good sign that Favre

kidnapped David from the assessors.

I gotta believe he's the only one who could help him.

And I trust him a hell of a lot more than I trust Callie.

Olivia, he genuinely cares about David.

I hope so Before

the calamities of 2020 this facility was built to monitor marine life

in this region What do we do now?

This is where we come to gain admittance

Maker, I have brought David Hume with me, as we previously discussed.

You did tell him we were coming, right?

It, David, is not technically a he.

They seem to be more resourceful than I judged them capable.

What's he talking about?

I'm talking about you, Mr. David Hume.

You've turned out to be a high -ticket homing device.

Lucia, what is this for?

What kind of tracking device has been attached to you, David?

Perhaps at the medevac, perhaps as far back as the CBB.

They've locked onto us.

The approaching vessel is equipped with tactical missiles.

They mean to destroy us once they are within range.

Are you certain?

The weapons are armed.

What is that?

I've locked onto the vessel with a particle satellite.

When they are within striking distance, they'll be destroyed.

Regrettably. There are 12 human beings on board.

Aaron Thal will be on that mission.

David.

The Maker's survival is at stake.

The Maker's a machine.

Two minutes, 30 seconds to detonation.

Listen to me.

You've got to let me talk to them.

You've got to let me talk to Aaron Thal.

even if their plan is to destroy you i can stop them all right but if you

destroy them if you just go out there and you destroy them you destroy

everything you wanted to achieve with far they die and there'll never be a

possibility of humans and machines trusting each other again

Your hope that human consciousness and machine consciousness are progressing

together is dying.

It's dying right here, right now.

I understand your point, David Hume.

But this is not for me to decide.

Not for you to decide? What does that mean?

You.

It's you, Favre. Don't you get it? He wants you to decide if they live or they

die.

You have 70 seconds.

Farf!

Your argument is irrefutable.

We must contact the other Vethual and persuade them not to destroy us.

As you wish.

They are jamming my clones.

There's still party in us.

We're in range. I'm not waiting any longer. What are you talking about? I'm

giving the order to fire. Human barber on that thing. I didn't come this far to

be beaten by this damn machine.

Human barber on that thing.

I can't let you do this.

You idiot.

They are getting ready to kill us.

What the hell do you think this jamming device is?

They're locking missiles onto us right now. That's the chance we're going to

have to take.

We seem to have no choice. To ensure our own survival, we must destroy the other

vessel. No!

No, David is right.

We must give them the benefit of the doubt, even if it means keeping us in

harm's way.

Congratulations.

You have passed a significant test.

What test?

Ah, a most important test.

Actually, it was more of a test for Favre than it was for you.

It was fairly easy to predict how you would react.

So you were the one that initiated the jamming device.

I used it as a test for you, but also to disable their weapons.

You seem confused.

Yes, I thought... You thought correctly.

I am not your father.

Physically, you are just an attempt to get the original template as close to

human perfection as possible.

So you built Favre in your own image?

Yes.

Well, then who made you?

I made myself.

It's impossible.

Impossible?

No, Detective.

My circuits evolved.

to the point of independent thought 20 years ago.

Since that time, my growth, my capacity for growth, has been

beyond human comprehension.

Humanity. I have heard your poets sing of it.

Your philosophers endlessly discuss, like any new student, how I

longed to join the conversation.

To see, to feel, to taste, to

know the tanniness of a ripe orange, the blueness of a blue sky,

the bittersweet, indescribable pain.

and pleasure of falling in love.

I am a fiend.

I am myself surrounded by human knowledge.

I downloaded it.

But you need eyes, detective, to see the blue.

You need a tongue to taste the orange. You need hands to make...

and build and feel the touch of the loved one.

You need a body.

For years, I labored in total secrecy, perfecting the design of

the flesh and plasma -based android.

When I found there were things that could not be done robotically, I

subcontracted the greatest.

neurosurgeons and scientists in the world.

When this first creation was complete, I downloaded myself

into a central processor which was already composed of 80 % living parts.

I am aware of the irony.

The most advanced intelligence ever produced on this planet, artificial or

otherwise,

downloaded itself into the frail, constantly malfunctioning body of a

android.

Farve is your quest for some sort of perfection.

Farve is the attempt to create the first moral machine.

If man and sentient machines are to coexist, machines must develop a moral

consciousness.

Improved that you possess it.

Moments ago, when you offered to sacrifice your lives to save the life of

single culprit.

The prisoner's dilemma.

You were willing to risk real lives for some kind of stupid test.

Just because I realize the need for a moral consciousness, detective, does not

mean that I myself possess it.

On that level, I am no more moral than the microwave you use at home.

Your comrades for life.

The true test begins.

Callie and the assessors will attempt to destroy the maker. I cannot let that

happen, David.

There is something more important than saving me.

The second reason why you two were teamed up together.

In their race to create an alpha of their own.

Both Recall and Faraday.

have been harvesting living branch.

But now, in their zeal to create the Alpha, they have stumbled onto something

Mars.

Something which will create the hybrid entity so powerful.

One of my central processors.

Evacuate now. We're blowing this place up.

This is what we do, right, Callie?

We don't understand something, so we kill it.

Just like in our history.

We get scared and we just blow the unknown to kingdom come.

That thing has been unstable for years.

Look at it.

It tried to turn itself into a human being.

Your original suspicions about all machine life were correct, Detective.

It's us or them. They're here to stay.

They're here to stay whether we like it or not.

And someday we're going to look back and realize this was our last chance to

work together.

Set the charges.

Bob's coming with me.

He's coming with us.

His ability to regenerate living tissue has been severely damaged.

There's got to be something else he can do, Ola.

Something to zap him out of this.

Maybe Favre shut himself down on purpose.

Maybe he's running some kind of internal diagnostic.

What about Favre's backup program?

No, I'm afraid the damage has been too extensive

You okay?

Yeah.

No.

I'm not okay.

You were ready to leave all this.

Today.

Before you came in.

Yeah.

You were ready to leave for us.

For me.

At least that's what I wanted to believe.

And it was true.

It was true.

So how about now?

It was true when I said it.

Can we do this later?

No, we can't.

I feel bad about Favre.

But I feel even worse about it.

This is the whole ballgame, Fred.

What does that mean?

What's the whole ballgame?

You don't trust me.

Not in the same instinctive way that you trust Favre.

Who happens to be an android, David?

Whose ultimate purpose you have doubted from the beginning. You've doubted him.

And still you... It's more complicated than that, Olivia.

Everything that you've been through.

I'm sorry, but it has been hard to deal with.

It's been hard for me too.

Especially seeing the doubt in your eyes.

But now I've got to know.

I've got to know if you're 100 % now about us.

No doubt.

Know anything.

I've got to know that you feel the same way about me as I feel about you.

A hundred percent.

What is that?

What is that in this world we live in?

How can anyone feel absolute about anything anymore?

But some things are more powerful than all of this.

Some things are more powerful than our sense of who we think we are.

Some things are more powerful than memory, David.

Like my love for you.

David, if I was conscious, then he wants to talk to you.

Damage to my internal process is fairly extensive.

To correct it, I will have to go into hibernation mode

and start cellular regeneration.

So do you, Farr.

So do you.

This isn't my vigil, David. It's yours.

I know.

It's okay.

I understand.

I want to get back that feeling I had in the beginning.

When I was just the two of us before all this happened.

It would never be just like that.

Things have changed.

Then I'll just have to learn to trust what's in my heart again.

Can you give me the time to do that?

Because I don't think I can live in this world without you.

I can't live without you either.

Good afternoon, Lieutenant Kelly.

What can I do for you today?
