(Alicia) Decompressing neural ram,
(Martin) Downloading to active ram buffer,
78% and increasing,
Decompression complete,
Transfer rate set At 28,8 million baud per second,
Neural interface at standby,
Protocol set,
We are ready to animate,
[gurgling]
(Martin) My only concern
is that the download procedure may overload the generator,
Then we'll access the power grid,
Too risky,
The others may find out,
(Alicia) We've worked for 8 years on this, Martin,
Every day has been a risk,
This is our chance,
We animate,
He is beautiful,
He is perfect,
We have done good work,
[power surging]
[alarm blaring]
(Martin) Switching to the power grid!
It's working,
He's alive,
[moaning]
[groaning]
[gasping]
Do not be afraid,
[human groaning]
Do not be afraid,
[grunting]
We must take care of him,
[gasps]
It's all right, Cain,
It's all right,
[gasping]
You are damaged,
I did not want him to see me like this,
We must take care of it, or your work will be affected,
You need a new face plate, Martin,
[beeping]
(male narrator) There is nothing wrong with your television,
Do not attempt to adjust the picture,
We are now controlling the transmission,
We control the horizontal, and the vertical,
We can deluge you with a thousand channels,
or expand one single image to crystal clarity
and beyond,
We can shape your vision
to anything our imagination can conceive,
For the next hour,
we will control all that you see and hear,
You are about to experience the awe and mystery
which reaches from the deepest inner mind
to The Outer Limits,
[whooshing]
(narrator) We have always been fascinated with the prospect of renewal,
Built into the very fabric of our subconscious
is the desire for resurrection,
a rebirth of body and soul,
A 2nd chance,
Greetings, Martin,
Greetings, G, X, -17,
I have tried to appoint with you
at the servo replacement center,
Apology, My work has taken me elsewhere,
You at least have work
repairing our android brothers,
I am a machine without a function,
That's not true, G, X, -17,
Even in these sad days,
each machine has purpose,
My memory drive recalls
when I was head domestic servile
at the mayoral residence,
I had 6 humans whose every need I attended,
And look at me now,
A wandering vagabond in the city of the future,
Come to the center, I will repair your limb,
I saw you exit the food repository,
I was seeking cans of aluminum,
We melt them down for android underframe repair,
Be careful, Martin,
Lest the military droids get the wrong idea,
[electronic voice] Halt, Identification,
(G, X, -17) Look at those metal heads,
Strategizing and conferring
as though this weren't a sterile planet
with a few hundred leftover androids,
They must always have an enemy to defend against,
Today it's an imaginary human, tomorrow it may be us,
Violation,
Proceed with further questioning,
You've drawn their notice,
And that is why I must bid you farewell,
You're a G, X, -21, At least they respect your intellect,
Identification?
(Martin) Servile android series, g, x, -21,
Subclass: biochemical research,
Destination?
The servo replacement center,
Purpose?
I run the center, I fix androids,
Now, if you're quite finished...
Halt!
What do you carry?
Cerebral circuit chips,
Open the bag for inspection,
I most certainly will not,
In case you are not aware,
the ruling council recently passed ordinance 3-4-5-2,
All pedestrian luggage must be made available for inspection,
Of course I'm aware,
I'm on the ruling council,
Apology, I did not know,
Perhaps you can tell
your grand and glorious leader, Moloch,
that council members are being harassed on the streets,
I will code your likeness On my neural net, G, X, -21,
to avoid further incidents,
And while you do so,
you can tell Moloch that his inquisition
is a waste of time,
There is no human life on this planet,
Continue search,
(Alicia) Your studies are progressing well,
[sighs]
I'm not sure I fully understand
the concept we discussed earlier,
Hate is intense hostility or dislike,
It is a manifestation of one's insecurities,
It is rooted in a perceived threat
to one's status or power,
Then, I suppose, the price of hating others
is loving oneself less,
Very good,
Hate is the opposite of love,
which is defined as
a profound and tender affection for another,
Correct,
No, Cain,
Why not?
We are different,
How so?
We have 2 arms and legs,
We think, We breathe, We communicate,
Ahhh! That hurts,
I know,
I feel no pain,
I do not laugh or cry or lust,
I was programmed with only
moderate emotional response to stimuli,
Martin's response is minimal,
We are machines,
Then, what am I?
You are a human being,
What is a human being?
We will discuss you and your people in due time,
My people?
Here is your food,
Thank you,
An emergency meeting of the ruling council
was called for tonight,
Until I convince the military droids
that their paranoia is groundless,
we must halt all preparations,
Suspend the animation?
We must concentrate on making sure
that Cain is thoroughly qualified
for the task ahead,
That is my job,
You must continue the work,
If we proceed,
it must be with extreme caution,
Why did you do that?
I do not know,
Perhaps it is because Cain tried to kiss me today,
He did?
I suppose I was meant to feel something,
But I felt nothing,
Yourself?
Nothing,
You have developed an attachment to Cain,
My basic program precludes attachment,
But Cain has longings,
And many questions,
I was forced to divulge that he is human,
I hoped to shield him from his humanity,
(Moloch) 3 months ago, An M, X, -20 perimeter patrolman
observed a mysterious figure ransacking the Bergen grocery,
As we well know,
the grocery was a food repository
for human beings,
M, X, -20 was unable to apprehend the perpetrator,
Since that initial report,
perimeter patrol has identified at least 4 similar incidents
in other sectors,
These findings indicate
a situation of the gravest peril,
There is human life on this planet!
It means no such thing,
(Moloch) G, X, -21,
do you have a more rational explanation?
Most of the servile droids
in the g, x, -17 domestic series
were built in order to obtain food supplies
for human masters,
Have you stopped to think that perhaps
a g, x, -17 may simply have heeded his bioprogram?
Then how do you explain this?
These were found under brush,
deep in the prohibited territory,
No doubt hidden by the perpetrator
who knows that possession of food
is punishable by immediate conclusion,
Humans are among us!
I must ask the council
not to jump to false conclusions,
Since the day of silence,
no evidence of human existence
has ever been found,
What if somewhere a human survived the biocaust?
Every mammal on this planet
has been concluded,
Perhaps G, X, -21
will remember a report he himself distributed
on July 24, year 8 after humanity,
I quote,
(Martin on tape) The biochemical agent
responsible for the extermination of species homo sapiens,
has a communicable life span of only 4 human years,
Thus, it is the conclusion of this researcher
that human life is once again sustainable,
Pure speculation on my part,
Or prophecy,
I recommend to the council
that the android military committee
inspect all dwellings in the city proper,
and that all food repositories immediately be destroyed,
I most strongly object,
This only distracts us from our primary purpose,
which is
the continual evolution of android technology
for our betterment,
Need I remind the council
that the m, x, basic directive
is to defend the land and destroy all aggressors,
Man proved himself to be the ultimate aggressor,
He concluded himself,
Therefore, we must defend against
the 2nd coming of man,
It is our directive, It is our destiny!
(Alicia) It is time for us to turn our attention back to Dante,
I am not a database,
Cain, please calm yourself,
No!
Then we will stop the lessons for today,
You give me droplets of information,
and it only makes me more thirsty,
Information must be delivered in its proper course,
And who determines that course?
You and Martin?
For the time being, yes,
You've hardly let me step foot from this shelter in 8 months,
There's still much for you to learn,
Then give me the chance to find out
on my own,
Patience is the key to knowledge,
Then I am impatient,
You must not leave, It is dangerous,
I have to see for myself,
I have told you about the military androids,
They will harm you,
You have taught me how to disable them,
Please?
Alicia,
I have feelings and needs
beyond what has been programmed into you,
It is time for me to go,
I'll return,
I promise,
[whooping]
We could not shield him from the outside world forever,
Still, I should have prevented him from leaving,
Unfortunately, he chose a poor time to leave,
The ruling council has passed a resolution,
Moloch will lead a search of the prohibited territories,
We must find him and convince him
to return to the shelter,
Useless,
All humans were stubborn,
Cain is no different,
[military androids approaching]
Field unit 5 to command,
Negative humanoid presence thus far,
(Alicia) I will not stand idle while he's killed,
Have you no regard for the project
on which you've labored for years?
He will die, Martin,
This journey is a test,
If he survives, then perhaps he will
merit the great destiny that awaits him,
If he dies, then we will have failed in our objective,
I am deeply connected to Cain,
He is like
m-my son,
Halt!
I desire to pass,
Identification,
I have none,
Identification,
Halt!
[grunts]
Perimeter patrol to base,
[grunts]
[beeping]
[power surging]
Sorry,
There he is, That is Martin,
G, X, -21, You are under arrest,
On what allegation?
Conspiracy to aid a human,
Ridiculous,
(G, X, -17) Then why haven't you been at the servo replacement center
in a month of Sunday?
You've been collecting food for the humans,
(military android) You must come with us,
I refuse,
Then you will be forcibly seized,
This is an outrage,
I demand to see Moloch,
So you shall, Seize him,
Why do you betray me, G, X, -17?
You yourself said every machine has a purpose,
When the metal heads came to ask for my help,
how could I refuse?
Don't you understand, G, X, -21?
I finally have a purpose,
And for this, you betray a fellow servile?
You betray your android brothers
for the sake of a bastard human,
Our primary directive was to aid humankind,
Precisely, Martin,
Humans ravaged their planet and themselves,
They were vain and cruel and lethal,
The metal heads convinced me that I am aiding humankind,
Humans are better off dead,
(Moloch) You disappoint me, g, x, -21,
Your future on the council was bright,
(Martin) I demand to know the evidence against me,
The G, X, -17 saw you leaving a food repository,
G, X, -17s have faulty recall capacity,
a fact that is well documented in servo manual 6,
Your image was recorded on his memory plate,
Why would I get involved with humans, Moloch?
Because you cling to the primary servile directive,
To aid human beings in all endeavors,
You have found human life,
Negative,
You risk conclusion, Martin,
Your threats are futile,
Fear is not a component of my neural operating system,
If you are concluded,
who will take care of your human?
There is no human, Fabricator!
Where have you hidden the human?
There is no human,
In the prohibited territory?
There is no human,
Look what you have wrought, servile!
There have been no android conclusions
since humans disappeared from the planet,
Now one of my droids lies non-functional,
Humans are the destroyers,
Whether it be themselves, or others,
They were also creators,
Destroyers!
I respect you, Martin,
You have done much in the time after humanity
to advance the android cause,
Help us find the human,
and you will receive a measure of clemency,
[panting]
"Here lie the good humans of Waldorf township,
"Death came to their race
"on the day of silence,
"May they rest in peace,
"Buried on this day
by their devoted serviles,"
[panting]
[gasps]
(Alicia) Martin and I thought it best to omit the explanation
of what happened to your people,
Why?
We thought it wise to wait
until you were further developed,
But you chose to seek knowledge on your own,
How did they die?
12 years ago,
this planet was populated by billions of humans,
Yours was a warlike race,
Nations battled for dominance,
One of these nations unleashed a biochemical agent,
Human life concluded in a single rainy afternoon,
After the day of silence, we few androids were left,
The town that you explored was a testing facility
for human-android interaction,
Socrates,
Shakespeare,
Dante,
They were humans?
Yes,
Tell me, Alicia,
Am I the only one living?
For now, yes,
Why did you create me?
Because you created us,
What better way to serve humankind
than to restore your species to life?
My species was better off dead,
You speak in anger,
I'm ashamed to be human,
They've left me with nothing but a barren planet,
Your species had an endless capacity
for good as well as evil,
That is the eternal struggle in the soul of man,
Look at what your people created:
military androids for the purpose of war,
And servile androids meant to benefit humankind,
And the servile population
thought it necessary to restore humans from the dead?
Martin and I fashioned you
from D, N, A, that was not affected by the biocaust,
For what purpose?
Isn't it clear?
You are to lead the 2nd coming of humankind,
(military android) Potential human habitation sighted,
Sighting confirmed,
Proceed, Rifles at ready,
Prepare for entry,
Sensors on photo recall,
Human propaganda,
A humanoid was here,
Alert Moloch,
What is wrong?
This is where we should part,
What about Martin?
I will go into town and find him,
You must go into the woods,
With luck, they will not find you,
They know you're involved,
They will kill you both,
Do not fear for us,
We will find Martin together,
Why do you risk yourself this way?
I owe both of you my life,
I do not want to be alone,
(Moloch) Man is no stranger to violence,
It was their nature to be an aggressor,
With the rebirth of humanity,
this aggression has resurfaced,
As a result, one of my droids
now lies non-functional,
A military series was created to serve man,
to defend humankind from their enemies,
When man caused the biocaust,
he concluded humankind,
Thus, man became the ultimate enemy,
As a result,
man cannot be allowed to exist,
A human is in our midst,
He must be concluded,
Any droid harboring a human is an enemy of man
and shall also be concluded,
Martin knew the risk of conclusion,
He said it was a small price
for the privilege of bringing you to life,
(military android) Proceeding to sector 3,
[Cain growling]
Perceive human,
This is not right,
Nothing good can come from this,
All units,
Subject headed in easterly direction down grove,
He is armed and dangerous,
(Moloch) Dispatch M, X, -20 sniper units to town perimeter,
Open armory for weapon withdrawal,
Engage in full sweep search
from southeast quadrant heading west,
(lt, Android) All servile droids are being questioned,
Good,
A patrol droid was nearly disabled by the human,
Strange occurrence,
The droid reports
that the human was unwilling to conclude it,
How human
to waver over the morality of concluding a droid,
We should return to the shelter,
That would be futile,
Moloch has droids guarding the woods,
What shall we do?
That building is the innobotics corporation testing facility,
Inside is a power grid which provides energy
to all droids,
We tapped that grid to bring you to life,
The grid was built with a fail-safe device
in the event of android malfunction,
If activated, they will permanently be disabled,
Does that mean you as well?
Answer me, Does that mean you?
Yes,
Out of the question,
Martin is gone, Alicia,
I will not let you sacrifice yourself as well,
An android cannot effect shutdown,
Only a human hand imprint can deactivate the grid,
You must do it yourself,
You will find the grid room off the basement corridor,
[sighs]
Is there no other choice?
I am afraid not,
I am scared,
All living beings must eventually leave
the care and comfort of their providers,
It is an immutable fact of human existence,
I love you, Alicia,
I was programmed with only
moderate emotional response to stimuli,
But I am attached to you, as well,
[clattering]
(military android) Halt, Identification,
Human sighted infiltrating innobotics facility,
Entry through roof access,
Proceed,
Human has barricaded himself inside the grid room,
Instruct the infiltration unit to bring the battering ram,
(lt, Android) Yes, sir,
I will oversee the extraction myself,
[alarm wailing]
Conclude him!
[power shutting off]
[beeping]
[clanking]
My name is Cain,
(narrator) We live, We die, We live again,
If we accept the tenuous fragility
of our planet and ourselves,
perhaps we can avoid the necessity of rebirth
in the distant future,
Perhaps we can begin
the 2nd dawning of humankind today,
