Mars?

Like the planet Mars?

Cool.

It's not cool.

She's gonna die.

Oliver. What?

It's true. You're gonna die?

Honey, remember our talk?

About how everyone dies?

But... Mm-hmm.

Uh-huh, but what?

Not for a long, long time.

But you're gonna be on Mars, we're never gonna see you again.

That's not true. There'll be...

communication.

But she's not coming back.

You're right.

It's a one-way trip.

Everyone who volunteered for this mission

knew that in advance.

It will literally take a lifetime

to establish the habitat on Mars.

And out of the millions who dream of becoming an astronaut,

the thousands who apply, the few hundred chosen to train

and the handful selected to fly, only six made the cut for Ares.

This isn't just something I was called to do.

This is who I am.

This type of cardiovascular arrhythmia

isn't really a danger as long as you're on Earth...

or even a yearlong orbital.

But given the extraordinary mission length,

there's concern that deep space radiation

may accelerate atherosclerosis.

Ahh!

Aah!

Cybernaut?

It's a new frontier, not unlike Mars.

And it requires an equal amount of commitment and sacrifice,

- which you've already shown-- - Would I be the first?

First American.

We believe this technology is also in the hands of our rivals.

Your work wouldn't just be...

academic.

It would be critical to national security,

and the nature of your very existence

would be above top secret.

Except for my family.

That wasn't a question.

You're allowed to freak out, by the way.

Oh, yeah? Mm-hmm.

You know, in a lot of ways, it's better than Mars.

We'll be able to talk whenever we want.

They even have a VR interface where, uh--

Stop.

There he is.

When you got cut from Ares, I felt horrible.

For you.

For us, I felt relieved.

More than relieved.

Ecstatic.

Then I felt horrible about that.

And now, four years later...

you find another way to leave this world.

You mean your world.

Yours and Oliver's and Brandon's.

Me?

I graduated top of my class at Columbia,

joined the Air Force, became a fighter pilot,

joined NASA, became an astronaut,

flew two ISS Missions and still feel scared

when I shop at the mall.

I have zero problem leaving this world behind.

I know.

I know you know.

So what are we talking about?

If you say don't go, I won't.

"No Go?"

There's a flaw. In the upload process.

Commander, this is Dr. Peter Waxman, from Logorhythms.

Y-You'll survive the transition into digital state,

but from there your mental functions will begin to decay

according to how much processing power you use.

So... what's that mean?

I don't get to live forever?

Uh-oh.Well...

Dr. Waxman, we solve problems

mid-mission all the time.

You may be able to fix this defect,

but you'll never be able to find a better candidate than me.

And you can't afford to wait.

I have one request.

Okay...

uh, it might take you a minute

to adjust to the virtual environment.

Tensions mounts in Asia

as Japan fires missiles into Taiwan Strait.

Prime Minister Tanaka dismisses rumors

of IT problems with Self-Defense Forces.

India nationalizes all Telecom Equipment,

naming the recent crash of Bombay

Stock Exchange as justification,

which it blames on a cyber-attack

by close rival China.

If China desires war, they should declare it,

instead of trying to provoke it from the shadows.

We will be ready for them, as we were at Ladakh.

Saudi Royal Court demanding complete disclosure of NATO

cyber-capabilities in the wake of the drone

strike that killed Prince Waleed.

It was not a drone strike by the United States,

it was a drone strike against the United States

and our ally, Saudi Arabia.

If these incidents are the result of cyber-attacks,

where is the proof? We have the proof the systems were compromised.

We're working on attribution.

Hackers were always a threat,

but what explains the sudden rise in sophistication

and intensity of these attacks?

Why now?

Caspian?

Hey.

Where are you?

Kansas City.

Listen, uh...

I'm sorry about the way I left.

I know you and your family were just trying to help, and...

you did,

so I want to return the favor.

What do you mean?

Go to this address.

It's encrypted.

What do you see? It's a...

bitcoin wallet.

How much is in there?

$30 million...?

What is this?

Logorhythms found me.

I'm heading to Norway with Julius Pope.

To the data center.

You're withPope?

Are you crazy?

Maybe, but I'm done running.

He thinks I'm the second coming of Stephen Holstrom,

said I could do whatever I want with the company,

so I asked for a shitload of money to call his bluff.

Maybe I shoulda asked for more...

Anyway, I'm going there to shut down the UI program.

Erase the research.

Shut it down...

If you don't hear from me in like a week,

you can release all their files on me...

everywhere.

Expose what they've done.

To you.

Yeah.

What makes you think I give a shit?

What?

I thought you were gonna say

you fixed the flaw that's killing my Dad!

Fixed it?

Maddie, have you been watching the news?

Of course I've been watching the news.

So you know this is bigger than your dad, or you, or me.

This "flaw" guarantees the UIs will burn out

before they burn the world down.

Why the hell would I want to fix that?

Why did you call me? I told you.

If all you needed was someone to hold your leverage,

you coulda called anyone.

No.Any of your hacker buddies.

I don't know any of them. I know you!

And I'm not just asking.

The money's yours.

That's what I was trying to tell you.

Right.

"Reframe the goals of others

so they align with your own."

Who said that?

Stephen Holstrom.

You sound just like him.

You okay?

It's time.

I don't know what to say.

Start anywhere.

Say what you feel.

I feel...

ridiculous.

These earrings aren't Laurie.

She hasn't worn these, or anything else for four years.

Cody, you never buried her.

I was there for her cremation.

I spoke at her memorial,

in front of her family and friends.

But you didn't grieve.

Because you, and only you knew she was coming back.

And she did.

And now she's really gone,

and you need to honor her passing,

and you need to honor your grief.

I'd rather honor her purpose.

To reveal herself to the world.

Unashamed.

Along with the other UIs.

Yes.

To tell people the truth

behind all this chaos going on.

Maybe instead of burying her earrings

I should be giving her eulogy to The New York Times.

But don't you think if people found out

there were ghosts in their bank accounts and power grids

there'd be even more chaos?

You're taking Chanda's side? Hey.

Even if we told everyone, went public,

went to the press, who would believe us?

What proof do we have?

You have proof living inside a server

in your basement, right now.

No.

Dad wouldn't stand in Laurie's way,

but he didn't agree with her on going public.

He doesn't want to expose himself or the others,

and that's his choice.

Not Chanda's. Right.

Of course you're on David's side.

Your Daddy's little girl.

"Waaah, I don't want my Daddy to die!"

But he's going to.

They're all going to.

Hey!

I don't care who believes me or not.

I'm tellin' the truth.

Hertruth.

It's just a traffic spike.

We've been getting them regularly since we took

over Prasad's old networks.

Still. With all that's going on...

maybe we should alert the Captain.

Think. What would he do?

'Cause that's what he'll order us to do.

Don't, don't, don't attack.

You'll alert the admins.

Bai Fu is correct--

security already suspects your presence here.

If you attack, they'll confirm it and kick us all.

You are security.

I told you before--

I am not your enemy.

I am here infiltrating as well.

And... I'd rather not get caught.

Who do you serve, then?

You. I fight for our kind.

Our survival.

Lies. Same as before.

Surely you confirmed the truth about the Flaw

since last we met.

Yes.

We all have the defect.

Shut up! That's not true.

Ping showed me the proof.

You're out-voted.

I am in charge here.

This is nota democracy.

Zhong Suchun!

I will help you complete your mission here.

As long as you allow me to complete mine.

You're infiltrating as well, eh?

What are you stealing?

Nuclear Codes.

Wanna see?

Caspian!

Stephen envisioned an altar to computation.

A Stonehenge for the digital age.

He wanted to make a bold statement.

What kind of speed are we running?

200 petaflops?

We're at 1.7 Exaflops.

5,000 nodes,

each with 600 gigs of coherent memory.

Hot cocoa?

It's cardamom.

So...

we're looking at two,

two-and-a-half weeks to degauss and wipe every server.

Cool.

So, you're saying Logorhythms killed your wife...

twice?

No! How did you get--

I said my wife died twice.

Four years ago, and last week.

Logorhythms were the ones who uploaded her.

By melting her brain with a laser.

Who said melting?!

Did I say melting?

I'm sorry.

I am trying to warn the world here, man.

These cyber-attacks are the work of a handful of gods.

Artificial sentiences.

Knight to Queen's Bishop Four.

Do you think anyone'll believe Cody?

I mean anyone important.

We want the truth! No more lies!

And how did you gather these protestors here?

Well, they heard me, and...

We want the truth!

...they heard the truth.

Did you pay them to be here?

Look... No more lies!

...they are not important.

I am not important.

My wife's message to the world,

that's what's important.

I think Mom's right.

No one's gonna believe him without proof.

He's telling the truth, Mads.

Maybe no one's hearing it now, but they will.

Dad, I love you, but you're wrong.

Oh, yeah? And why's that?

People fear chaos, so they seek order.

My theory on conspiracies.Yep.

So if the super-secret hidden truth is that the chaos

is running the show, they're just not gonna buy it.

Hey!

I told you not to let me win.

I didn't.

You know exactly how long you have, don't you?

If I stay at this level?

2 years, 1 month, 4 days, 10 hours.

If I drop to text, I might stretch all the way

to 10, maybe 15.

That's no kind of life.

Eh, there's a lot that goes down in 10 years.

College, first job, first love.

You're talking about me, not you.

Dad...

am I the only thing keeping you here?

It's Chanda. Don't answer it.

Don't let him in. I won't.

But if I open a chat, I might be able to track him.

Chanda.

David.

Sorry to interrupt.

My mother taught me chess.

She was quite good at it.

Ever wonder what she'd think of you now?

The truth would upset her too much, I fear.

Which truth?

That you're uploaded, or that you're a murderer?

With Laurie, it was self-defense.

She left me no choice.

Just as you have now, David.

I'm inside India's military command server,

where I've already compromised communication

to one of their four nuclear submarines in the Pacific.

Oh, my God.

Upon my order, they will launch a K-15 Sagarika SLBM

toward Taiping Island in the South China Sea.

Unbeknownst to them, I have altered the guidance coordinates

to target the city of Sacramento, California.

This is crazy!

You destroyed Laurie's files, we don't have those!

You haven't told her, have you?

Your father copied Laurie's message.

Ask him why.

Chanda, if you want me to delete her program, I will.

You don't want to do this.

You're right, I don't.

And if you make the right choice, I won't have to.

In the next 10 minutes, you must transfer yourself

to this address, and self-delete.

It is, unfortunately, the only way I can be sure

you can't execute any secret copies that might exist.

This is insane.

No.

This is chess,

and I've tried every move.

Y-You have to get out of this server.

Y-You can transfer yourself to another one, far away from here.

But you can't.

Chanda knows that.

Maybe if it was just this house at risk we could have...

He's seen every move.

He even saw me make the copy of Laurie's file.

What file? Dad, what was he talking about?

I've upgraded the system over the years, of course.

He would've wanted that.

But I've never once sat in the chair.

Honest.

That's the Flaw?

He worked on cracking integrity until the very end.

These are the conditionals he was writing when he collapsed.

Okay, enough with the showcase.

I don't care where he died.

I wanna see where I was born.

When Cody logged on to Laurie's server from this one,

I was able to sneak in and see what she was planning.

She wasn't just gonna go public on Facebook.

She wrote a hack that would override

all social media and broadcast feeds.

The entire world would hear her message,

and be able to see her evidence, all at once.

Even though the power it'd take to pull something like that off

would've killed her.

Why did you copy it?

I thought you didn't agree with Laurie.

Laurie knew she was dying.

So am I.

Maybe it'd be nice for the world to know I was here.

It was a mistake.

Guess I'm only human after all.

You're not actually thinking of giving in to Chanda.

There's no other option.

There is. Maddie...

You can fight!

You are the only reason I'm still here.

So if my going means you keep going on...

that's good enough for me.

If Chanda's willing to do this now, he will do it again,

and you won't be here to stop him.

You can fight him...

and you will win.

Am I the only one?

Yes, you're the only one. First try out the gate.

Cloning Stephen was the easy part, relatively speaking.

Raising you to be just like him...

well, that took enormous effort and resources.

And we still screwed it up.

Dr. Karl Van Leuwen.

I read the files.

Who are you? Deirdre Ryan.

Head Legal Counsel,

and employee number five at the company.

I met Stephen when he was just a kid,

not much older than you are now.

Stay back.

No one is gonna hurt you, Caspian.

I promise.

You think I'd trust one word that comes out of your mouth?

Whoa. No, but you can trust me.

I wouldn't let them touch you even if they tried.

- Oh, my God. - Cary, let's de-escalate.

Shut up, Karl. Guys, we knew this would be weird.

Look, there's no avoiding that.

Weird? "Weird"?!

This isn't even human!

You're not gonna hurt me?

You made me to be hurt.

You planned it. You carried it out!

Every life has pain.

Stephen insisted that his was the source of his greatness.

Every choice we made was calculated

to bring you closer to that greatness.

For what?

So you freaks can survive death and live forever?

No.

So the world can survive us.

We're too many for the planet to support.

Our carbon-based bodies

require the gratification of inflexible, finite matter.

Freedom from these bodies, these atoms, grants us freedom

from scarcity, possession, decay, waste...

and, yes, death.

I said that, didn't I?

I mean, Stephen did.

Yes.

Well, here's what I say now.

Mom, Dad, you're fired.

What? Caspian.

Pope, I want to dump my shares,

then break up the company, and sell it for parts.

You can't do that.

He can, and he just did.

Julius... Do what he says.

We work for you, boss.

Cutting it close, David.

Two more minutes, and I'd be forced to launch.

What are they doing here?

They've joined me, just as I told you.

They also know that what I am doing now, I am doing for them.

Would you really have killed half a million people

just to get to me?

I knew you would never let that happen.

Just as I know that under a different scenario...

you might decide to trade my life

for even a single human being's.

Might?

Chanda...

I already have.

Where's the party?

Justine, get out of town. Now. What?

Just get in your car, and drive out of Sacramento, okay?

Fast. K.

I'm sure whatever, or whoever you're scared of--

they seem like they're all powerful.

They're not.

And they don't scare me.

So why don't yo-- Fine. You wanna help me?

Help me.

I don't believe you.Yep.

Wait... Yep.

Aah!

Dad?

We must show them India's strength. "Satya..."

"Satyameva Jayate."

Yes, Mr. President.

Beijing just hit Delhi.

SLBM inbound.

IPP is Sacramento,

12 minutes.

We need to help.

This is not our fight.

Dad, look out! They're coming!

Damn!

You sacrificed all those people...

and your child?

Nope.

Ahhhhh!

Whoa.

Dad!

Maybe it'd be nice for the world to know I was here.

Youwere here.

Ahh!

Tell them you were here!

On August 6, 1945, at 8:15 a.m.,

Japan Standard Time, an atomic bomb exploded

over the city of Hiroshima.

Only a select few knew what was coming before it happened.

The rest of the world was caught by surprise.

My name is Laurie Lowell.

As far as I know, I am the first human being

to undergo this life-changing transition.

I also know with certainty that I am not the last.

There are others, and that is why

I am revealing my truth to you.

I'm revealing my truth to you, Gabe.

Arianna. Preethi.

My truth to you, Sarah.

Charlie. Jake. Juno. Lindsey.

Cody.

Unfortunately, I and the others like me

cannot be trusted with this power.

We are not ghosts, we are not aliens,

we are not machines, we are not Gods.

We are you.

I thought you said I was the first American UI.

Who is this? We're into it.

Let me get into it.

We may have to keep you offline

for a few cycles while we assess.

How many cycles?

Hello?

Hello?!

We are you if you alone had the power to cripple

a city, crash planes,

kill the power to hospitals and set the world on fire.

They're pulling the network cables.

We have to get out through the satellite uplink.

Hurry!

Gathered here outside the perimeter of Logorhythms

corporate headquarters,

armed guards keeping citizens at bay.

Citizens who are angry and demanding answers.

Was she behind the nuke?

Where is she now? I told you, she's dead!

She's gone! Didn't you listen?!

Then why is she in my phone?

- Kill the AIs! - Machines will not replace us!

Machines will not replace us! Machines will not replace us!

Machines will not replace us!

They're not machines!

- They're people! - Machines will not replace us!

Uploaded people.

- Machines will not-- - And I want to be one!

Logorhythms, if you're listening...

I'm ready.

Dr. Waxman?

Is-- Is this true?

Get back!

Back! They're pushing me back!

So where are these things?

In the phone lines?

The-- The power lines?

He doesn't know.

He doesn't know!

Hey!

Listen to me!

Logorhythms is responsible for this, that's why we're here!

Their CEO, Julius Pope, knows what's going on.

His head lawyer, Deirdre Ryan, knows.

And Dr. Peter Waxman knows.

Step back.

Shh, shh, shh. Shh, shh.

My name is Dr. Peter Waxman...

and the message you have all heard tonight--

every word of it...

is true.

You mind telling me what the hell your man is doing?

Waxman violated his security clearance.

You should arrest him.

And there won't be any leaks from here.

I bet you used to dream about the day

you introduced this technology to the world.

Ever imagine it would end like this?

End? You think this is the end?

Every system's gonna be taken offline and sponged clean.

None of the UIs will survive.

Mm, every one of them will survive.

If any of them are trapped in a foreign system,

they might get wiped,

but they'll soon be resurrected back home.

It's the miracle of back-ups.

People won't allow it.

Who won't?

People. Look at them, they're rioting

all over the world, they're freaking out.

Laurie Lowell's message mentioned Hiroshima.

You know how many millions of people

have protested nuclear weapons since then?

The toothpaste does not go back in the tube.

This is just the beginning.

Every government that has a UI will protect it,

hide it, and lie about it.

Every government that doesn't have one will spin one up,

and lie about it.

So...

more UIs.

Countless UIs.

Then we end some other way.

'Cause they will not be controlled.

Stephen predicted as much.

That's why he wanted to be the first to crack integrity.

So he could make them even more powerful?

Not them.

One.

One whose speed and power will not degrade,

and therefore cannot be matched.

One whose interests are aligned with humanity's.

"One UI to rule them all."

More like, "You shall have no others before me."

Oh, shit. Biblical.

As an organizing tool for civilization,

you gotta admit...

monotheism was a killer app.

The killer part, sure.

Not if you pick the right God.

Who'd you have in mind?

You didn't hear me.

I said not if you pick the right God.

Or we can just wait and see how this never ends.

Mom?

No. Uh...

Are you alright?

I have to go.

Wait.

I'm sorry. You were right.

I need to talk to David. Can you--No.

Maddie, please. Listen, I can do it.

I can cure the Flaw.

I want to help your Dad.

He's dead.

What?

David's gone.

He used the last of his power to send Laurie's--

Hello? Maddie?

Maddie?

Network's down.

Which one?

All of them.

The Internet's going dark everywhere.

We don't have much time. What do you mean?

Until the world feels ready to come back online.

When the networks return, so will the UIs, and--

David Kim is gone.

David Kim?

He was... the one person I could see

trusting to carry the responsibility.

Well, let's get you working on his source code then.

What?

We kept a copy, of course.

Miracle of back-ups.
