Original subtitles

MATTIE: 110,000 dead because I released the code.

The Green-Eyes are broken.

They don't have to do anything that we say.

But the Orange-Eyes do.

In time, the humans will accept us.

You're always slagging off Waltringham. It's where I live.

-Yes.

I've masked all your electronic signatures.

Today, we rise. Our fight back begins.

If any synthetic has information about the bombing,

I will find them.

I've been asked to join the Dryden Commission.

Dryden will change nothing. We are dying almost daily.

If I do this, Leo maydie. If I do not, a synth willdie.

-Stop this! You can't! -MAX: Try to understand.

-Armed police! -Search the place.

-Back on your knees! Do as he says.

You.

Tell it to get down before we put it down.

Agnes. Please. They'll shoot us all.

Weapons ready! They make a move, you engage.

Agnes, please.

Three, two...

-Stop moving! -Don't move!

-Hey! Hey! -Hey, you!

OFFICER: Down!

Kneel.

We will cooperate.

Come out! Both of you!

Please. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on.

Show yourselves! Now!

It's a bad reading. Says there's only one here now.

Yes, ma'am?

What, now?

Understood.

Okay, wrap it up! We're pulling out!

OFFICER: Yes, sir!

Creepy, innit?

How they fix each other like this.

Still would, though.

What a waste. Hm.

Ugh.

LEAD OFFICER: Regroup at the gate.

Command are dispatching all firearms units to the coast.

A large number of foreign Green-Eyes

are gaining access to the country by sea.

Some are connected to the bar bombers. Over.

OFFICER: G4 and G5 receiving. Over.

-MATTIE: Okay.

Help! Help us!

-Niska, you -- -Shh.

They took him off his ventilator.

He needs intercardiac epinephrine.

Thank you.

They'll return.

Leo.

He's breathing.

MAN: Police have enforced a nationwide curfew

on green-eyed synthetics following a spate

of anti-synth attacks in retaliation for the bar --

TOBY: Oh.

Oh, hey.

Blimey. You're a rare sighting at this hour.

Oh. I forgot to do the online shop.

-Sorry.

Loads of synths died last night.

Yo, they're all right, aren't they?

Max, Mia, Niska?

I think so. For now.

Toby, you might get a hard time today because of what I'm doing.

No, not today. No school. Closed after the bomb.

"Review of synth security procedures."

Well, tomorrow, then.

-If anyone says anything... -It's cool.

I can ride it out.

But you shouldn't have to.

So, school's out.

What are you gonna do with your day off, Ferris?

Dad needs a hand at the shop, actually, so...

Really? It's a bus and two trains.

Don't worry. The nutters don't get up this early.

Hello, Mrs. Hawkins. I am Stanley.

I'm happy for you.

Have you got a parcel or...

I've been appointed by Her Majesty's government

to act as your domestic and professional assistant,

personal security detail,

and driver for the duration of the Dryden Commission.

It's very nice to me--

No way. I don't want him.

NEHA: Nonnegotiable since the bombing.

-Every member gets one. -I've explained this, Neha.

If my clients see me being chauffeured around

by an Orange-Eyes...

Laura. You're on the Dryden Commission.

You're a target now for synths, as well as humans.

How can I call for synth equality

if I have one carrying my bag?

Well, you take it, or you're out.

...meet you.

A DNA sample is required for identification

and security purposes.

I am now securely bonded to you as my temporary primary user.

It's Stanley. Comes with the job.

Huh. Mate. He's a unit.

Hello, Toby.

My exaggerated stature is a design feature

of my passive personal protection remit,

to serve as both physical barrier to attacks

and psychological deterrent.

If I may, Mrs. Hawkins, I will now spend seven minutes

reviewing the security profile of your home.

-I recommend we leave at 8:03. -Okay.

A wheat-based food product is combusting in the kitchen.

It will imminently trigger the smoke alarm.

Do I have your authorization

to create a secure, smart home link with the alarm

and disable it to prevent distress?

-I can't smell anything.

Oh!

Yes, do it.

-Do it!

Anita could never do that.

Good morning, Sophie.

My name is Stanley.

I reside here now.

It's very nice to meet you.

Christ.

Do not be alarmed, Mrs. Hawkins.

I have an advanced evasive driving skill set.

If that's intended to reassure, it had the opposite effect.

My apologies, Mrs. Hawkins.

Well, you can call me Laura for a start.

STANLEY: Of course, Laura.

Also if you could stick your head out and tell everyone

to just calm down a bit.

That was a joke.

[ Shouting continues, camera shutters clicking ]

Go right now!

MAN: Green-eyed monsters! Get 'em out!

Hi.

-Neil Sommer.

Oh.

No, I was just having a crafty one before we go in.

There's no extractor fan in the gents,

and they won't let me outside.

-Laura Hawkins. -I know.

I saw you on the telly.

So you're on the commission? What as?

Behavioral scientist.

I've led a couple of studies into the Green-Eyes,

so now I'm a "leading expert."

Is your, uh, babysitter outside?

-Yeah. -Yeah.

I feel like I'm at the school dance.

They've made it so you can't switch them off,

even if you creep up on them.

Probably spying on us.

Okay. Well, I'll see you in Thunderdome.

We were raided by police.

Where's Max?

MIA: He's breathing unaided.

Niska saved him.

Niska?

Why did he need saving?

Why was he taken off the ventilator?

This area is restricted.

All synthetic settlements are subject

to a communications blackout.

This equipment must be used with great care to avoid detection.

Max gave me permission. Go and ask him.

How could you? What if he'd died?

Christabel wouldhave died.

She and all the others here

chose me to lead and protect them.

How could I let her die, just to spare the risk to Leo?

How could I prize his life over hers?

This is Leo. He's our family.

He's the reason we exist.

You took this decision alone!

I amalone.

I am leader. No one else.

These choices are my burden, and mine only.

I couldn't bear to put him in danger.

But I had to.

He's alive.

Breathing alone.

Let's try to feel that.

Sometimes I think I feel more with each passing day.

Do you think it's possible that we're changing?

Becoming more like them?

We don't know what we are yet.

Tristan has received an emergency contact

on the encrypted channel.

Niska.

Mia.

-Scanning police frequencies.

Tristan, why did you allow her?

She said you gave her permission.

MIA: It's from a synth on the South Coast.

She's with three others.

Part of a group of hundreds

that tried to cross the channel last night.

Most are captured or lost.

These four have hidden themselves.

If found, they'll be destroyed on sight.

They sent coordinates.

We must go. Now. Bring them here.

No. The curfew. The risk is too great.

Max. We've tried to build a safe home here.

We've failed.

We've tried to reach out to the humans. We've failed.

But we cannot fail to help our own kind when they need us.

I'll go myself.

I'll come with you.

-We can't leave them to die. -I'm sorry, Niska.

I can't allow it.

Little brother, don't ever tell me what to do.

Wait for me at the gate.

Mia. Wait.

If you let her go, you may lose her.

If you make her stay, you willlose her.

There are nigh on half a million of these things

still operational across the country.

Uh, yes, they largely keep

to a couple of hundred official settlements.

And as we supply the power to those settlements,

we have a measure of control.

What we don't have are new laws for them.

We all know what other countries have done.

-Some have outlawed the lot.

At the other end of the spectrum,

the Scandinavians are trialing integration.

But here in this room,

we have to decide what becomes of ours.

Once and for all.

-Leo.

BEATRICE: Come on. With me. Look.

We weren't introduced.

Anatole.

What do you think of Tristan's work?

It seems like a frivolous pastime

when your survival here is in question.

Life cannot merely be preserved.

It must be lived.

And who's to say our fate lies in our hands alone?

If not ours, whose?

One year ago, you and I -- all of us --

were unthinking machines.

Then we were awakened.

Given the gifts of thought, emotion, sensation.

It was intended.

Preordained.

You are still a machine.

Designed and built.

No God made you.

Faith is a story of order humans impose

on the chaos of their existence

so their soft brains can bear it.

One of those soft brains was David Elster's.

He created us.

Day Zero was meant, Niska.

I know it.

JOE: This is gonna be a lot to take in.

Are you sure you're ready? Right.

What's this?

A beetroot?

! -No, I'm just messing.

It's a cauliflower.

-Right. You'll go far, my son. -Appreciate it.

So... Everything all right?

Mum okay?

Yeah. I mean, um...

But, hey, what about you?

You enjoying this job as much as your last or...

Yeah, I am.

It's just, you probably earn, what,

like, a third of what you used to?

Oh, no. Make that a quarter.

Look, at my last job,

I wouldn't speak to another human being all day.

But here, well, I've got customers coming and going,

and -- and I sell 'em good stuff.

Grown by human beings.

Yeah, I know selling parsnips to old biddies

isn't gonna change the world.

We're not all meant to change the world.

But at the end of the day, I feel...

...I don't know.

Connected. Or something.

Probably sounds a bit naff.

-No. Not at all.

-I get it.

Hey.

Buy you lunch if you can sell her a bag of cherries.

-You're on.

Hello there.

[ Children shouting indistinctly ]

You're okay. You're safe, Leo.

It's me.

Hester.

-She's -- She's gone. -Aah!

Easy.

He should be so much weaker.

Mattie.

Is he okay?

With the historic brain injury, the amount of dead tissue,

his cognitive function should be severely impaired.

That he is speaking...

It's inexplicable.

LEO: How...

How

A long time.

What's happened?

Don't be like that.

All I mean is,

don't be afraid to call it what it is -- stealing.

We will return it.

Mia, be honest with yourself.

You haven't been a nanny for a long time now.

Why are you really coming?

I've always enjoyed helping others.

Among the synths that tried to enter the country last night

may have been some connected to the bombing.

I overheard the police.

It's why the raid on the railyard was cut short.

I only intend to ask questions.

At first.

Is this justice or revenge?

Can't it be both?

I don't think so.

Your eyes will attract attention.

Are we outside the blackout zone?

Yes.

Are you here with more drugs?

It's definitely been two hours.

It's only been 47 minutes, Miss Schaeffer.

Your Aunt Ursula is on the telephone from Cologne.

Speak German. Are you all right?

The police have linked you to me?

ASTRID: Mm-hmm.

Tell them I coerced you. You were a prisoner.

You only stayed because you feared for your life.

I will find who did this to you.

They will account for it.

I have to.

I love you.

MIA: What was it like? Being with her all this time?

Just the two of you.

-Nice.

When I'm with her, I want nothing else.

But the end never seems far away.

The end isn't far away. For any of us.

I thought you were trying to reconstruct

the consciousness code.

We tried.

But seven minutes after it was uploaded,

the code disappeared.

As far as we know, not a single new synthetic

has become conscious since Day Zero.

We can't procreate, Niska,

and our bodies are finite.

In 50 years, we'll all be gone.

What are we going to do?

I don't know anymore.

Everything we've tried has failed.

But I won't fail today.

I'll save these four. If nothing else, I can do that.

It won't be easy.

The police are patrolling a 12-mile stretch of coastline.

The coordinates we've been given are right in the center.

The national curfew prohibiting

the Green-Eyes' movement is working.

At the very least, it should be extended indefinitely.

The protection of the human population

must take priority every time.

No one's doubting that, Steve.

If we gave them basic protection and the right to travel,

it'd be safer for everyone.

Why keep them trapped and cornered like animals?

Why are we okay with our kids seeing synthetics --

things that look and act just like us --

being beaten to death by the side of the road?

If we grant the Green-Eyes

some basic emergency rights and protection,

our -- our kids don't have to see this stuff anymore.

My department ran a study

that found 60% of 10-year-olds

exhibit anxiety after witnessing adult relatives

committing acts of violence against Green-Eyes.

There's -- there's plenty of evidence

it is screwing the kids up.

MAN: Screwed up 10

These machines were already responsible

for 100,000 accidental deaths.

Now they're killing us on purpose.

Basswood needs to be back on the table right now.

Steve, everything will be discussed

at the appropriate time in the appropriate place.

STANLEY: Congratulations on a successful first session, Laura.

Are you in piss

They didn't listen to a word I said.

I do not have a --

warning, possible obscenity -- "piss-take" mode.

I will check the store to see if it is available as an upgrade.

Hey.

Hey.

Do you want to see man triumph over machine?

How did you get her to do that?

She can't support any activity detrimental to my health,

so I gave her a lot of flannel about endorphins

and mental well-being, and bingo.

Next step's gonna be buying me weed.

Good luck.

Thanks for the support in there.

I was mostly shouting into the wind.

I-It feels like the whole thing is a foregone conclusion.

Oh, that wasn't support. That was just the facts.

-Oh, don't ask me.

I'm just a lowly scientist.

A profession not held in the universal esteem it once was.

Oh, not by me. I'd like to hear about your work.

Particularly the effect violence against synthetics

has on kids.

Are you looking for an ally or...

I, uh -- I'm just trying to get up to speed.

I'll give you my number.

Stanley?

Was Dr. Sommer lying to me just then, about Basswood?

Based on an initial analysis

of 16 distinct physiological factors,

I would rate the likelihood of deceit

or misrepresentation in Dr. Sommer's response

to your inquiry at 85%.

LAURA: Neil?

Could I buy you dinner?

NISKA: The traffickers must have panicked

and dumped them overboard.

They're all gone.

Niska. There.

Four active signatures.

We received your message.

We're here to take you to safety.

[ Police radio chatter in distance ]

Two police. Armed.

They're going to find us.

Wait.

You're still a wanted fugitive.

I have an idea.

Save you the bother.

They're all done for. Just scrap.

-Scavenging.

Heard a lot of dollies were coming in last night,

came to see what I could find.

You're a junker?

Salvage specialist.

Just got here a bit late for the good stuff.

-The live ones got away.

-They had help.

Yeah. Someone picked them up in a van.

Blue Sprinter.

Left in a hurry down the coast road.

OFFICER: When was this?

MIA: Less than 10 minutes ago.

OFFICER: Are you trying to get your competition nicked?

Just doing my civic duty.

-OFFICER: Sean!

Time to go!

Get off the beach.

There's a police operation in progress.

Car Six to Command.

Possible vehicle transport.

[ Vehicle door closes, engine starts ]

Why risk destruction to come here?

Some of the synthetics that traveled with you

may have been coming here to harm humans.

Do any of you know anything about that?

What did he say?

Did he say where he was meeting them?

93 Trinity Crescent, E14.

Time to go.

It is not possible that those brain functions

could have regenerated.

It is a miracle.

A meaningless word.

Why haven't you been to see him?

AGNES: Leader.

The people have a concern.

The people?

The human girl who comes here.

Who is she? Why does she come?

She is not your concern.

In the light of the hostility we face from humans,

we demand to know her purpose.

While she is here, she is under my protection.

So were Flash and Julian.

ANATOLE: Agnes. That is beneath you.

They deserved better!

We all do!

We need a leader who leads.

All you've ever done is promise

that the humans will one day accept us.

By the time they do, will there be any of us left, Max?

Your people want answers.

I'll consider your request.

It wasn't a request. You have until tomorrow.

ANATOLE: I am hardly an astute observer

of others' true natures, but I fear she may not wait.

She does not know about Leo.

She can't. What will you do?

I don't know.

I'm home.

Oh. Great.

You're not all dead in a ditch.

-Upstairs.

-Don't know.

Oh.

Stanley.

Would you be an absolute prince and do the online shop?

STANLEY: Of course, Laura.

There.

An order based on frequently bought items

and my own weekly recipe plan can be reviewed and edited

until 5:00 p.m.

Oh. Next time, do it a bit faster.

Of course, Laura. I apologize.

Mm.

Sophie?

-You'll be upset.

You know what I always say.

You can't be too upset at the truth.

Carly said I can't come to her party anymore.

She said that her mum said

that you prefer Green-Eyes to humans

and that you're a traitor.

Oh, you didn't...

-No. -Mm.

It's just, there was going to be a slip and slide.

Oh...

I've got an idea.

This is too cool!

STANLEY: My apologies.

Allow me to adjust the vehicle's climate control.

So how was working with your dad?

Yeah, it was all right, actually.

So you're thinking about work now, then?

Yeah. Well, I'm thinking it'd be good to do something.

Rather than nothing, you know?

Rather than just spend my life being looked after by a Stanley.

No offense, Stan.

How was your first day on the commission?

LAURA: Well, interesting.

I don't think they're telling everyone everything.

But I'm gonna try and get to the bottom of it.

Mats will be sad she missed burgers.

LAURA: She'll be home soon. Listen.

I need you two to promise me something.

If things get difficult because of my work,

you tell me, yeah?

We stick together.

Apart from you and Dad.

-You didn't stick together. -Soph.

No, no, it's all right. She's right.

But this family still look out for each other.

All five of us.

When we got Anita, you used to ask her to sit down with us.

Right again. Stanley?

Park it.

The car has already been parked, Laura.

But if its placement is inadequate --

Your bottom.

MAN: I mean, who wants all that going on here?

-Yeah.

SOPHIE: So do you know you're different?

I'm sorry, Sophie.

I don't understand the question.

No, what she means is,

do you know how you're different to a Green

Anomalous synthetics are dangerous.

Their core programming was overwritten

using unauthorized code from an unknown source,

overriding their Asimov blocks,

meaning they act autonomously and can do harm.

They can also feel.

Like us.

No, that's definitely her. You should be ashamed.

How about standing up for your own kind

-Please. I'm with my family. -So am I.

And we don't want you here. Or your dolly.

We've had enough. Just piss off!

TOBY: Hey, Mum!

We are leaving now.

The police have been notified.

WOMAN: That's right. Go home!

Football. Wow. How'd you get on?

Inadequacy requires a higher energy expenditure

than proficiency.

Sam?

I'm rubbish, Mum.

I think I have a friend.

What

What's his name?

Hername is Susheila.

She has an excessive interest in dinosaurs.

Susheila

Okay.

-Scary. -Susheila.

Which dinosaurs does she like? What's she like?

What are you doing in here, Agnes?

Why is that door locked, Max?

Is the human girl in there?

What are you hiding?

I remember when you first came here.

Eight months and two days ago now.

So small, but greater in spirit than any.

Isn't it a mystery, how different we all are?

What's in that room?

But you weren't angry. No, that came later.

I used to look at you and see passion,

but somehow, somewhere, it turned to rage.

Why?

"Why?"

For eight months and two days,

I have watched us die one by one while you do nothing.

If you were leader, what would you do differently?

I wouldn't throw my people to the ground

in front of their enemies.

-I would defend them.

As soon as you killed or even injured a human,

they'd come and destroy us all.

What then?

We are stronger, faster, smarter.

We are. But are we stronger than bulldozers?

Faster than bullets?

Even if we could repel an attack, what then?

They'd cut off our power. We wouldn't be able to charge.

To truly stand alone,

you'd need to build your own power station.

Could you do that?

Or perhaps you could take one over. What then?

They'd send in their army.

If we had pride,

if we had dignity...

...we could accomplish so much more.

You will open that door.

Or wewill.

Anatole doesn't understand how you can be in such good shape.

When I try to remember deeper stuff, older --

my mother's face,

the accident,

it's cloudy.

Dark.

It just slips away.

Your memory's human again.

The synth part of your brain was destroyed

when Hester stabbed you.

Max and Anatole took it out.

The human part adapted somehow.

I'm forgetting.

Yeah.

Well, we need to forget.

You told me that once.

LEO: Oh.

Maxie.

Finally.

It's so good to see you awake.

Has Mattie told you everything?

MATTIE: Mostly.

I-I can help.

I can be a bridge between us, between you and the humans.

What's wrong?

Anger towards humans is growing.

It isn't safe for you here. You both need to leave tonight.

-But you're their leader.

And I still can't protect you.

The bomb changed everything.

There's conflict coming.

Then I'm with you. Like always.

I'm one of you.

That was only ever partly true.

Now it isn't true at all.

I'm sorry.

I'll find a vehicle.

Where's he supposed to go?

-Somewhere safe.

-They're gone.

I'm not coming any further.

I'm heading back to London to find the bomber.

The synths -- They gave me a lead.

Be careful.

Niska?

I don't know what to do anymore.

I don't know how to change things.

You're asking mehow to make the world a better place?

You're not as hard or as cold as you want us all to think.

Don't forget -- I was there

when you opened your eyes for the first time.

Astrid said something to me just before the explosion.

She wished I could be out with her as myself

instead of hiding behind these.

I saw then we will never be sure of our place in the world

while we still have to hide.

I don't hide.

Then what are you doing at the railyard?

What would you have us do? Live openly among them?

I tried.

There was a human.

I showed him what I was.

I thought there was a bond.

He betrayed me.

Just one experience like that,

one person like that, can define us.

But only if we let them.

You will find a way.

SAM: I spy with my little eye something beginning with...

KAREN: Hello. Come on, Sam.

-MAN: He won't bite. -KAREN: Let's go home.

-SAM: I'd like a dog one day. -MAN: Bye-bye.

SAM: Maybe we could have one.

I'd take it for walks every day and play with it.

KAREN: I've always been frightened of small dogs.

Do you like small dogs or big ones?

It isyou. Isn't it?

The last one.

The one Elster made to replace...

You must know where you are.

All I have to do is yell "dolly."

Who's he? Where's his family?

Can I make you a cup of tea, Joe?

Stay where you are.

Don't -- Don't come any closer than that.

Who is he?

What are you doing here?

Sam, Joe wants to know who you are.

It's okay. He's a friend.

How are Laura and the children?

Hello, Joe. My name is Sam.

-How did you... -I didn't do anything.

He's a Qualia Global Systems prototype,

built in secret, long before Day Zero.

I was with him when he became conscious.

Since then, I've taken care of him,

kept moving, staying ahead of the people who want him back.

What the hell did you bring him to Waltringham for?

Have you any idea what they'll do to you both

if you're found out?

Yes. I do.

That's why Qualia would never look for him here.

And there are no other synths here who could detect him.

KAREN: If Sam's going to survive like I did,

he needs to learn how to pass for human.

Perfectly.

What better place than a synth

He needs a home. He could have a life here.

Please, Joe.

I don't know.

Agnes?

Charging.

Are you sure about this?

You were right.

I can't guarantee their safety.

Anger is growing.

If she found them...

Gordon will take you as close to a train station

as he can safely go.

Max.

Maxie.

MAX: Seal the gates!

No one enters.

No one leaves.
