Of all the animals on Earth, the most loyal is the dog.
For this reason, dogs have been used on battlefields throughout history.
For decades, our military has attempted to create
a robotic replacement...
for the canine soldier.
But the technology has always ended in failure.
Today, at Craine Systems,
the company you trusted with the highly successful hornet drone program...
we seek to bring you the war dog of the future.
A- X-L.
Attack, exploration, and logistics.
Our fighting platform pairs the efficiency and power of a robot...
with the ability to communicate and intuitively bond
in the familiar manner of a dog.
The A-X-L's ability to carry interchangeable payloads
will make it an invaluable asset to every branch of our military.
Trust us with this contract
and we will deliver the ultimate war dog.
Last lap, a sense of urgency for Hill
if he wants to try to win this qualifier.
Hill overtakes Fontaine over the double jump.
He's in the lead now.
Oh, no, here comes Fontaine with a cheap shot to the inside...
that sends Hill off his machine.
That's going to take him out of contention in this race.
He's going to have to go to another qualifier.
He scrambles to his bike.
His chain is off. That's going to cause him
to DNF at the seed race.
I lost it on that last turn.
Bad time to have a chain snap. You got it?
- Do we have a spare? - Buddy, this was the spare.
Yeah, yeah. I love it. Nice.
Let's go, baby!
Yeah, baby!
Yeah.
I'll be right back.
Yeah, that's sick, man. Yeah.
Upload that and send it out. Awesome. Right There
- Hey, good race, dude - Hey. Come on.
What?
You win one race and you think you own the track.
With this team behind me, I could win all the races.
All right, let's get your act together and get ready for the finals.
Hey, fellas. Sorry to interrupt.
Hi, my name's Chuck, Chuck Hill,
and this is my son, Miles.
- What's up? - Miles, what's up, dude?
- Tough luck on that turn, man. - Yeah.
Oh, yeah. Tough break on that turn.
- George Fontaine. - George, how are you doing?
Listen, I'm sorry, but we've got a little favor to ask.
Yeah, we...
we broke our chain.
We're wondering if you guys had an extra one.
Oh, yeah. Yeah, those things are always crapping out on us, too.
Next time, though, you might want to spend more than 20 bucks on a chain...
because they're kind of important.
No, no. We'd pay you back. We have no problem with that.
We just...
It happens, man. We've probably got a couple, right?
Hey, Scroggs, grab me one of those chains in the locker.
No, no. Hey, we've got one spare. We can't part with it.
We've got another race, right? You understand.
- You know, I think I do. - Good.
All right, well, you know, I thought we'd ask.
I guess... good luck to you. Come on, Miles.
Yeah, you too.
Hey, kid. Better luck next season.
- You'll get it, you're almost there. - Yeah
Keep working.
Hey. Let's go, son. Quit goofing around.
We've got a race to win. Let's go.
Pick a line and go. Come on. Go.
Is this what you're looking for?
I wasn't here.
Yo, pass me the wrench. Come on.
Go. You've got this.
Riders pushing their bikes up to the gate.
Gates are ready to go, the lineup set.
We've got some of the best, talented riders...
Get it. You're a Fontaine.
All right, you've got this. Remember, slow is fast, all right?
Don't miss any shifts. Okay?
They've all qualified in.
They say Fontaine is the favorite here.
Let's see what he can do. Hill, the underdog.
The gate is about to drop. 30 seconds.
With a quick snap out of the gate,
it looks like it's going to be Fontaine... good speed inside.
He leads the field now on lap number one.
Riders now jockeying for position as they come through.
It's still number 23, Fontaine.
Looking down the twisties now.
Here they come charging down.
It's still 23, Fontaine.
But Hill now starting to show a wheel in there
as he starts to gain momentum with the good lines.
Oh, look out! Hill now drives to the inside.
Hill now takes on the lead.
Fontaine chasing Hill.
The 77 rider, Hill, now charging hard out front.
And here we go, the race to the checkers.
And Hill cruises and wins the main event.
Your main event winner is Hill, the 77 ride.
And tough break, Fontaine.
What, are you kidding me right now?
- Miles. - Let's go, baby!
You are a waste of time.
Hey, see if you can get my grandma on the line.
She could win this thing.
All right.
There.
- Hey. - Here we go.
Hill gang. What's going on, fellas?
- Nice race, Miles. - Thanks. You, too.
I don't know what you're up to tonight,
but we're having a party at my place.
You should come by. Tons of cute girls.
I don't know, man. I've got to work in the morning.
Yeah? You've got about 12 hours between now and then.
You've got something better to do?
Hey, I'll tell you what, man. If you change your mind,
follow the crowd out of here, all right?
All right. I'll think about it. Thanks, man.
All right. Hope to see you there, champ.
You know I'm proud of you, right?
Oh, God.
- Here we go. - Life ain't all about racing, you know?
Sometimes you've got to take your foot off the accelerator a little bit.
What, if you want to lose?
Look, that guy, his dad's got connections, right?
Connections means sponsors and sponsors means...
Chains for days. I get it.
All right. Look, I'm just saying,
if you really want this...
you've got to play the game.
I've got you. I'm right behind you. Let's move!
Let's go, go, go.
- Get that satnav set up. Come on. - I'm on it!
God.
Launch the drones.
- Are you sure? - Launch them!
We've got to track it down.
Run the search protocol, and I don't care if it's illegal.
Mom, what are you doing?
I just don't want to spend all weekend cleaning up this mess.
Gracias, Joanna.
I'm sorry.
Just go and have fun and be careful. Okay?
Okay.
Come on, chicken fight!
Hey, hey. Look who it is.
- Thanks for coming, man. - Yeah. I can't stay long, though.
Yeah, that's what they all say.
Hey, I want you to check something out.
Right? Yeah.
Hey, yo, everybody, listen up!
- Hey, what's your name again? - Miles.
Miles. My bad, bro. Everybody, this is Miles.
- He's that fool who always beats me. - Nice to meet you, man.
- You too. - Seriously, this kid's straight sick.
Do you and your dad do all the work on your bike?
Yeah. I'm hoping to sign somewhere after Regionals.
Maybe you could take over for me...
Team Fontaine.
What, you're quitting already?
I don't know, maybe. It would piss my dad off enough, that's for sure.
It might be a good enough reason.
- You guys don't get along? - No, I wouldn't say that.
He's good for some things.
For example...
"Dad, we really need this industrial-grade GelFire torch, you know?
It really helps clear the brush off the track.
It's really going to help me crush the competition next season. "
You're crazy, man.
No, man. I'm not crazy.
We're just primal animals, you know?
Doing what our ancestors used to do, burn stuff, fight, be barbarians.
Why don't you give it a shot?
I'm good, man. You do you.
Oh, this guy...
All right.
- Scroggins, are you recording? - Light it up!
Wait, who's that guy?
I've never seen him before.
Probably one of Sam's new friends.
You know him, he's always expanding his pack.
Hey, look at the camera.
Couldn't help yourself?
Not your scene?
I wouldn't think it would be yours, either.
I didn't really have a choice.
Why, because of Sam?
Yeah, he was my ride home.
What, you live here?
In the back house.
My mom takes care of the place.
The Fontaines are out of town a lot, so...
So,...
You and Sam?
No.
No. It's not like that.
I'm just the help.
Trust me, that's not the way he sees you.
How does he see me?
I don't know, like...
every other guy on the planet sees you once they've seen you.
Thanks for the spare part, by the way. I appreciate that.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Did you take this out of the garbage?
It was next to it...
because you missed the shot.
I like it. You shouldn't throw these away.
She's a beauty, ain't she?
We'll take it out later, if you're lucky.
The party's kicking up into phase two and you're chilling in the garage.
Listen, man, I appreciate the invite, but I've got to bounce.
No, man. Let's kick it up a notch. Then you can wuss out.
Come on, I've got a couple of people I want to introduce you to.
Does that have to be so loud?
Sorry?
You know, when I said, go have fun,
go meet some people yesterday...
I wasn't really talking about...
- I know, I know. - Okay.
Hand me that crescent, will you?
Thank you.
- Great race yesterday. - Yeah.
All that hard work is paying off.
I guess. It just sucks, you know?
I've got to bust my tail twice as hard as those other guys.
And Fontaine?
Dad, you have to see this guy's place.
- He's got everything you could ever need. - Yeah?
I would be winning Supercross right now if I had what this guy's got.
It just ain't fair, is it?
Look, I know, you're just trying to figure it all out.
Nothing feels right.
Well, racing feels right.
Yeah, but racing ain't going to last forever.
Sooner or later, you're going to get injured
or you're going to age out of it.
Dad, my grades were trash. We can't afford college.
I suck at everything else.
But this, this I'm good at.
Yeah...
but how many other things have you actually tried?
We've been searching all night.
It could be anywhere within a hundred-mile radius by now.
There's nothing I can do until we get a visual on it.
All its comm links are down.
Keep them off the servers. I don't want them finding out about this.
Captain Webber.
The demo is in two days.
Do you have any idea what's on the line here?
- Of course - Then give me a straight answer.
You've blown through a $70 million budget,
and we haven't seen anything close to battlefield-ready.
It's evolving. We've made great strides here.
It's showing levels of autonomy way beyond expectation.
The U.S. government has expectations, Andric.
You promised us a machine that could kill.
I'm going to need remote access to your lab and the asset immediately.
After that, you're done. Am I clear?
Crystal.
Hey, buddy. Are you ready to get her dirty again?
No, man, I think I'm going to get some sleep.
No, what you're about to do is come out to Beaumont's ranch with us
and rip some gnarly whips for Scroggins' camera.
Share your talents with the world, kid. You're about to blow up.
Come on.
Sick, bro!
Yo, Miles, come check this out.
Dude, that's super sick. Look at this. Watch this.
- There you go. Dude, that was huge. - Yeah, I can't wait to post this.
You're going to get signed for sure.
No. People don't get signed off desert-rat, hillbilly crap like this.
All right, we'll see about that. That was sick, dude.
You should come down to Nationals with us.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
We took a private jet down last year. It was awesome.
Oh.
Yeah.
Did you and Sara have fun last night?
- We were just talking. - Just talking?
Yeah, no biggie.
Check out this one, man.
- Yeah. - All right.
Miles, before I forget.
Why don't you say something for your fans, bro?
Yeah, all right.
Yo, send it.
Yeah. All right, get it, dude.
Let's see it.
Send it.
Oh!
Hey, dude, are you okay?
That is not how you make a name for yourself, man.
Have you got it, Scroggs?
All right, let's get out of here.
- But he's got my GoPro. - Your GoPro? Who paid for it?
You can't just leave him out here like that.
No, you're right.
I'm not leaving him here like that.
Are you happy?
Let's go.
Let's go. Come on, hurry up.
What are you looking at, Seth? Let's go.
Is someone there?
Hey.
Hello?
Holy sh...
Oh, no.
Hey, I'm not going to hurt you.
Calm down.
Relax.
Hey, easy.
What the hell are you?
I'm going to get this out, all right?
Chill out, all right?
Is that better?
You're even more hard up than me?
A- X-L?
AXL?
Is that you, buddy?
It's going to be all right.
I'm going to fix you up, okay?
Hey, buddy, I thought you were going to help me finish up today.
All right. Well, give me a call when you get this.
Where are you?
Wow.
This looks insanely complicated. Hold on.
Yo, send it.
Yo, what up?
2,000 views in one night. Pretty good?
Is he okay, because he's not answering his phone?
Sara, why do you care? You don't even know him.
- Where is he? - I don't know.
He's probably back by now.
Wait, you left him out overnight?
Yeah, but we gave him enough gas to get home.
What?
Show me where he is exactly.
Now I just need you to hold still, all right?
Not bad?
All right. That's good.
There you go, buddy. Can you move it?
How does that feel?
Yeah? Do you want me to do the other side?
No?
All right.
You should be good now.
Come on, try it out. Get up. Come on.
Good boy.
Come on. Let's go.
Hey, I'll bet you're thirsty?
Come on.
That a boy. Easy.
Come on, slowly.
No.
Come on. All right, stop.
Yeah?
You look good.
Are you starting to feel better, bud?
What are you doing? Are you sniffing me out?
Yo, send...
Hey, hey, what are you doing? What are you doing? Calm down.
Hey, relax.
Yo, send it.
It's not my best moment, okay?
Hey, look at me.
We're friends, right?
Friends don't bite friends, okay?
All right.
Hey, stay still.
What? Do you want to play?
All right, let's go.
Hey. Hey!
Wait a second. I've got something.
That's him.
- I'm going to try to crash his system. - No. Wait.
This is better than I hoped.
Wait, who do you think that is?
Our human test subject.
Are you kidding? He's going to rip that kid apart at any moment.
I don't think that's going to happen.
This is the breakthrough we needed.
Stream the sensory feed.
I want to see what it sees.
Miles, are you out here?
Miles?
Come on. Come on. Come on.
What?
- AXL, stop! - Miles!
Knock it off, AXL.
Come here. Hey, come on. You've got to calm down, all right, buddy?
She's a friend, all right? Friend.
Look.
- Come here. - What are you doing?
- Trust me. I want to show you. - No. No.
He's not going to hurt you. Come on.
Come on.
Look, AXL. Friend, okay?
This is Sara and we like Sara, all right?
Good boy.
You can talk to it?
Sort of.
Yeah.
He's still learning, you know? Like a puppy.
Are you being serious?
Miles, it could have killed me!
"He", okay? Not "it. "
You checked?
Good boy.
Stay, okay?
Do you trust me?
Come on.
Easy. Easy.
Wow.
Hi, AXL.
AXL, right?
Yeah.
I'm Sara.
Nice to meet you.
So, you came all the way out here just for me?
No.
I just like the drive.
Yeah?
I was worried about you.
It's crazy what the military chooses to spend their money on.
Do you really think he's military?
Yeah.
Maybe.
I mean, clearly somebody spent a lot of money on him.
I mean, they've got to be looking for him.
Whatever he is...
we've got to take him back to his owner.
What, for, like, a reward?
No, because it's the right thing to do.
Do you see all those little round things on his side and on his tail?
You know those are bullet holes, right?
Somebody shot him up.
I don't think his owner deserves to get him back.
I think he's listening.
Are you listening to us?
It's okay. We'll figure this out.
Are you scared of the dark?
- No. - No? Are you sure?
I am scared of my mom, though.
Well...
you know we can't get the truck out until the morning.
Yeah, good point.
Did you tell your mom you came out here?
Nope.
She'd freak out.
Yeah, my dad's probably freaking out, too.
And your mom?
She died a couple of years ago.
I'm so sorry.
Yeah.
Let me show you a picture.
She's beautiful.
My dad married up.
Yeah, my dad, too.
It's too bad. I don't know much about him...
other than the fact that he's been in and out of my life since I was a kid.
The hardest part is watching my mom go through it.
It's like she's completely given up on ever getting out of here.
I know how she feels.
I mean, sometimes I feel like I'll never get out of here either.
I really like this song.
Come on.
Do you see that?
Come on.
- I don't really dance. - Everyone can dance.
That's more your thing. It's not my thing.
You're just choosing not to. Come on.
Oh.
It's just a sway. There you go.
Okay, now we can get fancy.
- Add a little snap to it. - A little snap.
I'm going to give it a little turn.
Okay.
You're getting into this.
Okay, so they're late on truck payments and medical bills.
She actually got accepted to a few good schools...
but her mother's totally underwater.
Look, the point is, they'll be thankful for anything they can get.
We should send the boys in there, pay them off, and take back the A-X-L.
No.
No?
He's becoming more sophisticated with every minute he spends in human contact.
We were six months behind schedule.
This level of development puts us ahead five years.
She's pretty great?
Way out of my league, though, right?
Yo, send it.
You don't have to rub it in.
Keep going. Keep going.
Almost there.
Keep going.
Let's go. That's what I'm talkin' about.
All right, let's get out of here.
What about AXL? We can't just leave him out here.
What do you want to do, take him home?
Miles, he's not some kind of stray dog that we just found. He could hurt someone.
Then we do what you said last night, all right?
We find out who made him. Come on. Give it.
Hey, give it.
You know, you're using the word "we" a lot.
That's because we're in this together.
I came out here to make sure you were okay.
- That thing... - Needs our help, all right?
Besides...
if we just leave him out here,
what do you think is going to happen to the next guy who finds him?
I don't know. We'll call the cops. Let them deal with it.
Call the cops? You saw how he reacted to this truck.
What do you think he'll do when he sees a bunch of police cars coming up here?
Come on.
Fine.
So you're with me?
- Yes. - Well, good.
Hey, AXL.
That a baby.
Hey, Dad.
Sorry, I just got back into cell service.
Yeah, he messed with my bike and then he just left me out there.
No.
Listen, I gotta talk to you later, okay?
I'll be home in a bit.
All right. Okay. Bye.
Do you have any cash?
I only have a five.
No. Hang on, let me check the glove compartment.
Wait. You didn't pay already? It says you did.
Wait, did he just buy us gas?
It looks like he did.
See, I told you we couldn't leave him out there.
He hacked the gas pumps like he hacked our phones.
I couldn't even get my last dog to stay off the couch.
Look, buddy, you've got to stay down, all right?
- I think we should go. - It won't stop.
That's good. Just take it all.
Look at this.
Dollar bills.
Sam, have you seen Sara?
She spent the night at Lyssa's,
but I thought she'd be home by now.
I don't think she's at Lyssa's.
She's probably hanging out with this new kid.
You know, there's a way you can find her on your phone.
- Do you want me to show me how? - Yeah, sure. Please.
Okay.
You just got to go there.
Yeah, there she is. Right there.
But that looks like the middle of nowhere.
Balance it. Balance it.
There you go.
Flip it.
Are you sure he'll be safe here?
Yeah, I think he should be fine tonight.
No one really comes here except for me.
- So, you did all these? - Yeah.
They're amazing. You're really talented.
That's crazy.
You like that?
Did you know he could do that?
No. This is something new.
The Department of Defense,
in collaboration with Craine Systems,
is pleased to present the A-X-L,
which exceeds any UGV module available today.
The A-X-L has been engineered upon a foundation
of canine-human interaction that stretches back millennia.
As the war dog of the future,
the A-X-L biometrically pairs with a designated soldier,
making him as loyal as the real thing,
while being decisively more lethal.
Specially engineered vehicles and accessories
give the soldier that the A-X-L is paired with
enhanced mobility and faster evasive opportunities.
A suite of cyber-warfare abilities
make him an ally in disarmament and intelligence.
- Miles, he was made to... - Yeah. I know.
The A-X-L not only has the ability to source and direct maintenance,
but also to self-destruct in order to avoid enemy capture.
AXL?
AXL, stop, okay?
Don't touch it.
Of course you touch it.
What do you think this is?
Clearly, he just did that pairing thing with you.
It's paired now. The entire O.S. is useless without that kid.
The key gives him full control of the entire project.
Then we bring in the kid as well.
It looks like they have a visitor.
- It's Sam. - Hey, wait.
I need you to stay here, all right? I'll be right back.
Miles, you're going to have to stay in here, too.
- I'm not hiding from him. - If he sees you, he's going to freak out.
I've got this, okay?
Hey.
What kind of sketchy business goes on up here?
You know me.
Do I?
What happened, Sara? Did you guys hang out, or what?
What's that supposed to mean?
You know, I'm used to people using me, Sara.
I just didn't think it would be you.
I guess it makes sense, though.
How have I used you?
Well, you act like we're together.
You suck up to my dad.
My family practically gives you and your mom everything.
And then the minute I turn my back,
you go and you hook up with some piece of white trash.
Hey.
Hey, Sara. Hey.
Sam, you need to leave. Now!
Because of this kid?
What's up, Miles? Nice tan, bro.
Okay, this has gone far enough.
We need to get a team in there right now.
Hold on. Let's see this play out.
Miles, tell him to stop! He's gonna kill him!
He's crushing me.
- Come on! - Okay. AXL...
bring him here.
No!
AXL, stop! Miles!
I would stay as still as possible right now if I were you, buddy.
Miles, just let him go!
Listen to me. I don't ever want to see you near her again.
- Have you got that? - Miles! Just let him go!
And if I do, I'm gonna send this thing after you.
- Okay! - I can't hear you! What did you say?
I said, okay!
He's all right.
You can't hurt him, okay?
Get out of here. Go.
The asset obeyed the boy's directives perfectly.
Let him go.
And what if he had directed him to keep attacking?
You better run!
We could have had civilian blood on our hands.
At some point, I'd say that's inevitable.
And that doesn't bother you?
Perhaps you've forgotten what business we're in.
Hey, aren't you a good boy?
That was fun, right?
What?
I told you I'd handle it.
Hey, I was just looking out for you, all right?
Yeah, well, I don't need you to. Don't you get it?
I live at his house.
My mom does his laundry. They pay for my grandmother's nursing home.
They own us, Miles.
- I was just trying to defend you... - Stop!
You act like you're the underdog,
but the moment you get any real power, you're just like him!
You just dropped bombs all over a situation...
my family's been dealing with our entire lives.
I'm sorry, okay?
I let it get out of hand.
Look, just go make peace with him, okay?
I'll take care of AXL.
Did you hit your head, or something?
Or are you just choosing not to use it?
I'm not going to leave you, Miles.
And I'm not leaving you, AXL.
Look, do you trust your dad?
Yeah.
Okay, well, I think we need to tell him.
Because, clearly, we're way in over our heads.
All right.
Okay, bud. We need you to hide over there, okay?
We'll be right back.
Just stay here and don't do anything stupid, please.
No, stay.
You're saying you just found a robot dog?
I want you to see him, Dad.
What is this thing?
It makes the person who touches it his owner, or something.
- And you touched it? - Yeah.
And he has to obey everything I say now.
All right, everybody.
Are you ready?
You guys stay here.
- Ready, Scroggins? - Yeah.
Come on, get your camera ready, man. Let's go.
Dude, you're tripping. I don't see anything.
No, man, he's in here.
Just keep that camera rolling, man.
- Bro, you got that? - Yeah, yeah. I'm getting it.
You weren't kidding about this thing.
What's the ETA on the operatives?
Both teams are still two hours and 30 minutes out.
Hey, bud. Hey. Yeah, you remember me, right?
What do you think we should do?
I sure would like to see this thing. It sounds...
It sounds like a piece of work.
But, you want to know what I think you should do?
What you should do is turn it in.
- What? - I'm sorry.
No, Dad. No. They're going to use him to kill people.
It's the United States military.
Miles, that's what they do. They build stuff that kills people.
It's not finders keepers, pal.
- He ran away. - You don't know that.
He could have fallen off the back of a truck out there in the desert somewhere.
He could have just got away.
No, he's riddled with bullet holes, Dad.
- They were abusing him. - It's a robot.
How do you abuse a robot? I don't even know.
It's okay. Yeah.
Yeah. I just brought some friends.
Want to say "What's up?" real quick.
Move aside.
Yeah. Here you go, buddy.
Yeah.
Come on. Look here.
Come here.
Yeah.
See?
Good boy. Come on. Bring it back.
Come on.
Good boy.
Dude, you got this?
Yeah, that's right. Good boy.
- Dude, the thing's going to kill us. - No, man. He can't.
Keep your camera rolling.
I wouldn't want Sara to miss this.
All right, Miles,
you need to understand something, okay?
It's a robot, right? That's what you said.
It's an intelligent robot, Dad.
I'm telling you, he feels things.
This is a weapon. You've got a loaded gun.
Okay? Think about what you're going to do.
- Let's just go. This is crazy. - No, man. He wants to play.
You know?
Yeah.
Have you ever seen one of these? No?
Pretty cool, right?
It's kind of like you, you know?
All metal and shiny. And dangerous.
- I'm your buddy, remember? - Move. Let me see this.
Nothing to worry about. Yeah.
I'm not going to hurt you.
And you're letting your feelings cloud your judgment, okay?
- Miles, Miles. - You've got to slow down.
- What? - We have to go. Now.
Dad, just forget about it, all right?
Come here. Wait. Where are you going?
I want you to look right in the front there.
No! Stop!
Hey, are you okay?
Sam is unbelievable.
Miles, I don't think we can fix this.
No, we're going to fix him.
Come on, do something if you're still in here. Come on.
Miles.
All right, buddy. We're going to get you out of here.
Hey?
This your son?
Who's asking?
We're investigating the theft of some classified technology.
So, you're with the government?
Is Miles here or not, Mr. Hill?
No, no. I don't have to show or tell you anything
until I see a badge, a warrant...
Or a gun.
- You got it? Okay. - Yeah.
- Push it. - Okay.
Where do you think he's taking us?
I don't know. I guess we'll find out.
Have you seen this device in your son's possession?
He keeps all his stuff in the garage.
Don't move.
We should go. Come on.
Turn off the lights and don't hit the brakes, all right?
But I don't even know where we're going.
Just follow AXL's directions. He'll know where to take us.
Hey!
Why don't you put that gun on the floor there?
That's right.
Yeah.
No, no!
No!
I get to ask the questions now.
Wherever it is, we will find it.
It?
What do you mean, this thing?
There you go, AXL.
- He looks good. - I guess now we wait.
I think he should be fine.
I can't tell if I'm scared or if I'm having fun.
I know.
I feel like my heart's beating really fast.
Mine, too.
Attention, all operatives, the A-X-L is back online.
I'm sending you the new location.
Move in for retrieval.
Copy that.
We're rerouting to the machinery exchange.
Sweep the room. They might still be in here.
The area is clear.
Asset is inert.
We're constraining it.
AXL?
I think it's dead.
Well, let's go party.
We'll deal with that punk, Miles, later.
Stop!
He's going after Sam. We're going to have to move fast.
Yo, Kirsten, don't forget the lighter fluid.
You got it.
- Yo, where's your girl? - Which one?
Do me a favor. She always forgets the lighter fluid.
- Yeah, for sure, man. - Get some matches too?
Scroggs, did you hear that?
No.
Hey, wrap it up. Let's get out of here.
Okay, okay. We're coming.
Come on.
Yeah. Yeah.
Hey, listen, if you're not turned already,
then it's time to get turned.
Let's get this lit!
All right, everybody, enjoy.
Dude!
Oh, my...
- Start the car! - Where are the keys?
- What was that? - Scroggs, come on.
AXL.
Stop!
- No! - Stop!
Come on, come on, come on.
No, no, no, no.
No, no, no.
- Sam. - AXL, stop!
- Knock it off. - Stop!
This isn't right.
You can't hurt him. You need to leave.
Okay. Good boy.
[whirring gets louder
Miles, what's happening?
Let's go. With me.
What are they doing?
AXL!
Miles!
Don't resist!
Confirmed. Secure.
AXL.
AXL, are you there? Wake up, please.
You've got to get me out of here.
It really feels alive to you, doesn't it?
What are you doing to him?
Well, I've got your buddy under control, but I'm having a little problem.
Does that look familiar?
Well, I want it back...
and if you want to get out of here alive,
you'll give it to me.
So, where is it, Mr. Hill?
She better be okay. Do you hear me?
Or I'm going to make sure everyone knows what you've been doing here.
And what have I been doing?
Aside from giving our men on the battlefield
a fighting chance against an evolving enemy?
You're creating animals that kill people.
People kill people.
This is a machine,
a computer program
that obeys lines of code that I've written.
I've got nothing left to lose.
That's my dog.
Bring in the girl.
- Sara? - Miles. Let me go!
What are you doing?
One step outside this box and your little friend will attack.
Just give me that key and you can both go home.
Wise up, Miles.
It's about time you see what this asset is capable of.
Let her go! I don't know where it is. I lost it.
You better start thinking fast, Miles. Where is it?
Sara.
Come on, Miles.
I'm under a very tight deadline.
No! Watch it!
AXL.
AXL, it's me, Sara.
Remember this?
Okay, enough of this!
I'm going to ask you one last time, Mr. Hill.
- Give me the key! - Come on, buddy.
No.
Come on, AXL.
Come on, please.
- No! - Are you okay?
No, AXL!
Stop! AXL, stop! Let him go!
We've got to get out of here.
Don't move!
Hey. No, he's in there. We're with you guys.
Let's go. Come on.
Attention...
This is the United States Armed Forces.
You are in possession of military property,
which is a violation of federal law.
You have 30 seconds to exit and surrender control of the asset,
or we will enter the building by force.
Hey, AXL.
It's going to be okay.
Goodbye, AXL.
I repeat, you are about to be arrested.
We are armed and will fire if necessary.
Exit the building and surrender the asset to us immediately.
Stand down.
Detain her for questioning.
Securing the asset is our first priority.
Attention Aviation Command.
Requesting air support.
Asset heading north. Live-fire take-down if necessary.
I want that thing back.
[helicopter
AXL.
AXL, what are you doing? You've got to get out of here!
AXL, stop!
You've got to get out of here, okay? Do you hear me?
You've got to go!
[helicopter
You have to leave me, AXL. I'm sorry.
I can't come with you, all right?
You've got to get out of here. I said, go!
Go!
Yo, send it.
- Stay where you are! - Don't move.
Six weeks after the incident, data packets containing
fragments of code were found on the dark web.
NSA believes the encryption algorithms to be consistent
with the special defense project known as A-X-L.
Is there something I should know?
The only internet access I have in here directs me to the law library.
So, unless you want a book report on habeas corpus, I suggest you come...
The code!
Is there something I should know?
You compromised national security
and endangered civilian lives.
You sure you'll be all right without me?
I'll try.
- Are you going to get arrested? - Probably not.
Hey, come here.
- Don't write me. - Don't worry, I won't.
Don't send me any pictures either.
- See you, Chuck. - See you, Sara.
Take care of the boy, will you? Have fun at art school.
I will.
Make sure he goes to class once in a while.
- Did you forget anything? - Probably.
- You? - Definitely.
We've spent millions cleaning up your mess
and paying witnesses to keep quiet.
Hey, Sam...
Let's go, you've got a race to win.
Do something with your life.
But now we have a bigger problem.
The code.
Your code.
It's building something, reassembling itself.
I need to know what it's doing.
Oh.
So...
you're offering me a job?
I'm giving you an order.
And what about the two kids?
We made sure they each got a scholarship.
And we're watching them closely.
Then we should hurry up and find it...
before it finds them.
Hey.
- I've got something for you. - Who's it from?
Not for you.
I think it's from your dad.
Do you remember this?
Of course.
Should I do it?
Yo, send it.
It's him.
