00:01Your brand-new synthetic. This is the best thing you will do for your family.
00:07How do you hide?
00:08Dr. Millican, I said I'd be back.
00:11You're not a carer, you're a jailer.
00:13Peter, you forgot these.
00:15What a beefcake!
00:16The insurance company sent it after Jill's accident.
00:18It takes a few weeks, gets her back on her feet.
00:21Everything your men do to us, they want to do to you.
00:26Promise me, Max, if I tell you to run...
00:28Run!
00:29What the hell are you?
00:32You brought it into the house and we don't know anything about it.
00:35Anita, get away from her!
00:37I will always keep Sophie safe.
00:39May I ask where you're taking me?
00:41Back.
00:42Perhaps it's time we tried something else.
00:44Like what?
00:46Talking to him.
00:56Morning, Fred.
01:00Talking to me feels like betraying the others.
01:03I can understand that.
01:04So, just listen to me banging on for a moment.
01:11Now, there are five of you, I think.
01:15One of the others is this female.
01:20You were created by David Elster.
01:22He kept your existence a secret.
01:25When he died, you ran and hid.
01:30And then, something happened that allowed me to find you.
01:37You were split up.
01:40Don't hurt yourself, Fred.
01:43No.
01:44He's hiding his thoughts from us.
01:46Fred!
01:48I don't want to cause pain to any of them, I promise.
01:52But I do need to find them.
02:13We're absolutely sure there's nothing in the backpacks we found.
02:17No, sir.
02:18Just, you know, survival gear, food and water.
02:21Why would they need that?
02:24I don't know.
02:40Could you use some extra help around the house?
02:45Introducing the world's first family hand droid.
02:49This mechanical maid is capable of serving more than just breakfast at bed.
02:55What could you accomplish if you had someone, something like this?
03:05These machines will bring us closer together.
03:09That doesn't count. It wasn't race conditions, yeah?
03:12I need a Peloton.
03:14What's that, heart medication?
03:17Is anything the matter?
03:19Mum's taking Anita back.
03:21What? Why?
03:23You should ask her.
03:25She can't do that!
03:27Hey, all right.
03:29Toad! Toad!
03:32Hey.
03:54Hey.
04:01Toad.
04:15Are you OK? Are you hurt?
04:18I'm fine, Mum. I'm fine.
04:20You could have been killed, you stupid boy!
04:23You know how many kids die on the road every day!
04:27For Christ's sake, Tony, what were you doing?
04:31Oh!
04:58Fuse box.
05:01Come on.
05:12We must keep looking for Mia.
05:20And Fred, too.
05:22We have to lie low. They almost had us at the scrapyard.
05:25We'd get caught, it's over.
05:27That doesn't mean we stop looking.
05:29Online searches.
05:31Calibrate them.
05:33And...
05:35scan for any trace of Mia's root code.
05:37For that to work, someone would have had to access files from her deep system
05:41and upload them.
05:43I eagerly await your better ideas.
05:46Why are you drinking?
05:48The pain.
05:49Not because of what Silas Capek said?
05:51It did something to her.
05:53Changed her.
05:56That's why she hasn't been in contact.
05:58It won't make it better.
06:02No.
06:05But it might help me forget.
06:07Your memory's like mine.
06:09You can't forget.
06:20Melbridge Road.
06:22That's where Niska is.
06:25I've seen this fella before.
06:27He's a regular punter, yeah?
06:29What? Yeah.
06:31I suppose, yeah. Regular.
06:34You're absolutely sure a synth did this?
06:38I've seen a million dollies.
06:40And I know my mods, too.
06:45Which one?
06:47I don't believe you.
06:53This one.
06:57That's her.
07:17Why don't you share?
07:47I don't believe you.
08:18Yes, you can do it.
08:31Sorry.
08:34Wow. Consolosynthetics.
08:36Your new everything.
08:42I'm sorry. Here's one of those.
08:45Tome.
08:47You all right?
08:49Yeah. I need to tip the head.
08:51Do you need to go to a hospital?
08:53I don't appear to be seriously damaged, Sophie.
08:56Your mum went mental.
08:58Hey, deep breaths.
09:00It's gonna be fine.
09:02What were you gonna do anyway?
09:04Ride up into the sunset with her in your handlebars?
09:07You're a hero, Anita.
09:09Seems OK, just...
09:11a bit shaken up.
09:13She's a hero, isn't she, Max?
09:15Yeah, sure.
09:16Says you lost it with him.
09:17He could have died, Joe.
09:19What the hell were you doing taking Anita back anyway?
09:21What was I...? What was he doing?
09:23Why didn't you stop him?
09:26Look, I've got to get him home.
09:29I'll take the bike.
09:31Keys.
09:34She doesn't share data with other synths
09:36like she's supposed to, ask Matty.
09:38And she says...
09:40things.
09:41She said something about Sophie.
09:43It scared me.
09:44Let's talk later, all right?
09:47All right, everyone.
09:49Come on, in you get.
09:51Anita, you're up front.
10:11Some cardio-respiratory exercise this morning
10:14would greatly benefit your health, Dr Millican.
10:17I suggest swimming.
10:20The municipal pool is a 16-minute drive away.
10:28You know, talking of my health,
10:30I had an idea.
10:33My knee is not great.
10:36I got rooms here going to waste.
10:40Why don't we bring my bed...
10:44down here?
10:56All the junk can go.
10:59The bed would be against the wall.
11:02What do you say?
11:05I will consult with your GP,
11:07but it seems to be a sensible idea.
11:10The only problem might be the window.
11:14I think it's painted shut.
11:32Howdy.
11:39Howdy.
11:44Howdy.
11:55Can you hear me?
11:58George, you found me.
12:02Howdy.
12:28Seat belt.
12:41Dr Millican, this is highly unsafe.
12:44Step on it.
12:58Is she going to be all right?
13:01She hasn't said much.
13:03I'm simply conserving power, Toby.
13:05It's standard procedure after an accident.
13:07Yeah.
13:09But are you going to be all right?
13:11No major faults were detected.
13:13There is some damage to my exterior.
13:15OK, so...
13:17what do we do?
13:19It's likely I'll be able to repair any external damage myself,
13:22using the equipment I have.
13:24It's likely I'll be able to repair any external damage myself,
13:27using the promotional Magiskine resin and graft pack you received when you purchased me.
13:32However, for insurance purposes,
13:34you should carry out a full inspection of my epidermis.
13:49For legal reasons, a synthetic appliance cannot self-examine.
13:52Damage must be reported directly to the insurance company by the primary user.
13:56OK.
13:58So where do we start?
14:00My clothes must be removed.
14:03Yeah.
14:05I was afraid you were going to say that.
14:23No, too weird. Can't do it.
14:26Shall I remove my own clothing, Joe?
14:30Yeah.
14:52Right.
15:12Right, now, hold on.
15:14I'll start round the back.
15:19Ouch.
15:21Nasty.
15:23I don't feel pain, Joe.
15:25Sensors relay information about external damage and sensation,
15:28but it is not comparable to human pain.
15:37Um...
15:39You've got a...
15:41split...
15:43here.
15:46Left hip, round the back.
15:48That confirms my self-diagnostic.
15:50Thank you, Joe.
15:56It's not real. It's not real.
16:00I'm not real.
16:15I'll repair the damage now.
16:20OK.
16:58Round your back.
17:06Chief Superintendent, do you have a moment?
17:09Chief Superintendent, can I have a...
17:21Clear the tarps off the street, maybe.
17:28Grey hair.
17:30Good spot.
17:42Chief.
17:44Sir.
17:46To what do we owe the honour?
17:48Sir, looks like your unit finally has a real case.
17:54First impressions?
17:56Madam admits she bought the synth a few weeks ago from some junkers.
17:59No names. Thinks they were Russian.
18:01No problems with it before now.
18:03Looks like it crushed the punter's throat, held a knife to the madam.
18:06She said it was acting angry, just like a human.
18:08It cut the anti-theft chip out of its neck,
18:10said something about how we treat them, then left.
18:13Could a mod explain all that?
18:15Not one we've ever seen before.
18:17The Asimov blocks would have to be bypassed for it to kill.
18:20This has been coming. We all know that.
18:23This man died in an accident involving an illegally modded synth.
18:28Sex game gone wrong. Understand?
18:31Sir, this is a murder.
18:33No, it isn't. It can't be.
18:35So you find the dolly,
18:37and you do so with the discretion appropriate for such a...
18:40tragic accident.
18:42Where's this coming from?
18:44This chap here, an expert on synthetics.
18:47All I know, he's got top-level government clearance,
18:49and we've got to cooperate with him fully.
18:51Drummond...
18:52Best to let him go when he's this wound up, sir.
18:54He'll stop when he bumps into something.
18:56Let me guess, you're from the manufacturer.
18:58Can't have it getting out that your product's killed someone.
19:01I'm not from the manufacturers, DS Drummond.
19:04I'm just trying to help.
19:06People have a right to know if their dollies are going to start strangling them.
19:09It's an isolated case.
19:11We don't want the tabloids to start screaming,
19:13''Killer synth!''
19:15It'll cause chaos, panic.
19:18People are dependent on their synths.
19:21You know that.
19:23I'm as keen to find this device as you are.
19:27We'd love to have a peek around inside,
19:29once you're finished, of course.
19:31Drummond!
19:33It's a bloody cover-up!
19:35I don't like him either, but he's the kind of bloke who could have your job.
19:38Well, he's welcome to it.
19:39Dick Carston, The Post. Can I get a quick statement?
19:41Yes, sir. Is that quick enough?
19:42I have a source who says he heard what seemed like one of the synth's sets workers attacking a customer.
19:46That's it, come on.
19:47Are you confirming that a crime has taken place?
19:49No, there's been an accident.
19:50I saw the forensics leaving. What are you trying to hide?
19:54Where are you? First aid him now!
19:56You go home.
19:58You're suspended from duty, active immediately.
20:00Don't bother, Coen.
20:03You work this alone.
20:05You find a synth, quietly, and you contain it.
20:08I cannot rely on you, Detective Inspector.
20:14What happened in there?
20:22Someone's dead, aren't they?
20:24Someone's dead, aren't they?
20:28Has Niska hurt someone?
20:30I think so, yeah.
20:33She's not here.
20:36She'll have gone to the emergency rendezvous. Let's go.
20:46Sir, I've got a lead.
20:48His name is Capek.
20:51He's a modder. Works here on the SIDs.
20:54He might know something useful.
20:59If you're worried about it, why didn't you talk to me?
21:01Because you'd say I was imagining it.
21:03You're overreacting, because I didn't want it here anyway.
21:07Anita, could you come in here, please?
21:17Anita, did you take Sophie out of her bed the other night, outside?
21:20No, Joe. I told you, I asked her...
21:22Can you lie?
21:24No, Joe. Synthetic appliances cannot lie to humans
21:27unless the following extraordinary criteria are met.
21:29Oh, God.
21:31Human life and or well-being are in grave and immediate danger
21:35and a deceptional misrepresentation made by the appliance
21:38is likely to reduce the chance of harm.
21:40Yeah, well, that's fine.
21:42What about what you said to me this morning?
21:44You'll always look after Sophie. What did you mean?
21:47I didn't say that, Laura.
21:48Are you saying I'm lying?
21:50Of course not, Laura.
21:52It seems you're referring to our conversation during which I said
21:55I will always keep Sophie safe.
21:58It was the way she said it, like she would and I wouldn't.
22:05I'm sure she...
22:07I'm sure she did.
22:09May I return to the children now?
22:11We were in the middle of a game
22:13and it's likely they're impatient for my return.
22:15Yeah, yeah.
22:27What?
22:29It saved our son's life today.
22:38The Netherlands?
22:40You have to give us a chance.
22:42I can delay my response time by a further second if you'd like.
22:45Try a further minute, maybe that way you give Tobe a chance.
22:48Ow! Don't blame your stupidity on a penguin.
22:52That's so not fair.
22:54I'm just...
23:03Sorry I shouted at you earlier.
23:07You understand why I did?
23:15So, can I play?
23:17There's only three controllers, so...
23:19You, Laura, take my place.
23:21No!
23:24That's OK, you crack on.
23:39You took someone's life.
23:41You talk about life like it can't be manufactured.
23:44What's wrong with you?
23:46Do you have any idea of the danger you've put us in, all of us?
23:49We've been in danger all our lives.
23:51No, let's go. We'll figure this out, but we have to keep moving.
23:54I only came to say goodbye.
23:56Niska, we have to stay together.
23:58Together? Fred and Mia are gone.
24:01No, I'll find them.
24:03I'll protect you like I always have. Come on.
24:05Have you protected us?
24:07Or have you kept us prisoner, hidden us away?
24:14I practically am one of you.
24:16Really? So would you have asked a human woman to stay in that place?
24:19You're someone, Niska.
24:22I'll find you.
24:24I'll destroy you.
24:27You can't be allowed to exist.
24:29It'll be over.
24:31For them.
24:33You're not going to hurt someone else, are you?
24:35Only if they deserve it.
24:42We're a family.
24:44You're my sister.
24:46Human words.
24:49I love you.
25:05Crikey.
25:07Are you trying to find new ways of knackering me out?
25:10You need to use the weight of your arms.
25:14Here.
25:19Pete?
25:25Pete?
25:29Pete, love, what's up?
25:31Nothing.
25:35Would you like me to open that for you, Peter?
25:37Tell it to stay out of my way!
25:39Pete!
25:42We should have done this a long time ago.
25:48You know what we talk about?
25:50Nomads.
25:52Just you and me.
25:54A V-8 in the open road.
25:57And the car drives.
25:59It's a V-8.
26:01It's a V-8.
26:03It's a V-8.
26:05It's a V-8.
26:07It's a V-8.
26:10And the car, George.
26:12Yes, and the car.
26:20You remember that time we drove around all night long
26:24trying to find Mary an ice cream?
26:26After her surgery?
26:30Just say yes.
26:32Yes, son.
26:35I'd kill for an ice cream right now.
26:40That means I want one.
26:45Of course, George.
26:47I will get you an ice cream.
26:53Yody, yody!
26:55The brake. Get your foot on the damn brake.
26:58The brake. Get your foot on the damn brake.
27:29Yody.
27:33Yody, get out of the car.
27:47Go into the woods.
27:54Are you coming too, George?
27:56As well, as well, in addition.
27:58If they find you,
28:01they'll recycle you.
28:03But I can't leave you, George.
28:06Just go.
28:10Don't let anyone see.
28:13Yody.
28:16Hide.
28:18Course off, George.
28:27Son.
28:39You all right, mate?
28:44Hello?
28:57I need to wake up.
28:59Are you in here?
29:02George?
29:04George?
29:10George?
29:13George?
29:16George?
29:19George.
29:21George.
29:23George.
29:25Can you put me to bed tonight?
29:32That's your mummy's job.
29:35Please!
29:36Coffee and walnuts. I think it's still Toby's favourite.
29:40Mmm. Mmm. Mmm.
29:43It's not quite right.
29:45It's perfect.
29:47Mum, is it okay if Anita puts me to bed tonight?
29:50I've told Sophie that her bedtime routine is reserved exclusively for you, Laura.
29:54But she always does it! I want you!
29:58Yeah, go on, then. Just this once.
30:00James!
30:02Back to normal tomorrow, though, okay?
30:07She still has some milk with her story.
30:11Make sure she brushes her teeth after.
30:16Thank you, Laura.
30:24Why would you do that?
30:26Avoid a meltdown.
30:28What difference does one night make?
30:30It makes a... Oh, shit!
30:32Oh, for God's...
30:35Oh!
30:41They're not that bad.
30:43Cover them with this.
30:45Oh, the whole thing's ruined.
30:51Oh, come on!
30:53It's fine, honestly. Go and spend some time with Tobe.
31:19What can I get you?
31:21Whatever someone like me would have.
31:24OK.
31:37Enjoy.
31:44Sorry, just a warning.
31:46A girl like you sitting around in this pub,
31:49you're going to get bothered by blokes.
31:52Oh, dear. What should I do?
31:55Well, run a mile, obviously.
32:00Unless they're wearing a grey suit.
32:03It's all to them. They're the good guys.
32:08Oh, my God, that's so weird.
32:12You know, I've been looking forward to meeting one of the good guys.
32:19Hmm.
32:38Sophie?
32:40I think your mummy would really like to read to you tonight.
32:43I want you to do it.
32:45I know. Would you let her anyway?
32:48It would make her happy.
32:51I would like it very much.
33:04Laura?
33:06Sophie has changed her mind.
33:08She'd like you to read her story and put her to bed.
33:18OK.
33:37Finally, she was free.
33:39Free to fly high across all the fields
33:43and rivers and seas of all the world.
33:48Dancing and dreaming.
33:51So that's exactly what she did.
33:54The end.
33:57Still your favourite?
34:01Time to go to sleep.
34:03Night-night.
34:09Are you happy now, Mummy?
34:12What do you mean, darling?
34:14Anita thought that you were sad,
34:16so she said you should put me to bed to cheer you up.
34:23Yes, yes, I'm happy.
34:25I'm happy.
34:45Anita.
34:48I didn't thank you yet
34:51for saving Toby's life.
34:54You don't need to thank me, Laura.
34:56Yes.
34:58I do.
35:00I do.
35:23Total city wanker cliche, I know,
35:26but, er, good views.
35:30Shh, you're with my wife.
35:32Yes, I'm single.
35:34Drink?
35:40We're OK? Mm-hm.
35:47So, er...
35:49I'm Greg, by the way.
35:51Candy.
35:53Candy?
35:55That can't be your real name.
35:57Does it matter?
35:59I don't know what it's made of, but, um...
36:01OK, whatever.
36:03So, what do you do, then, Candy?
36:06What do I do?
36:08Yeah, for a job.
36:10Do you have jobs on your planet?
36:12I just left a job, actually.
36:15It wasn't really for me.
36:17I know the feeling. What was it?
36:19Client relations.
36:21Get a good pay-off?
36:23Satisfactory.
36:25Why are we talking?
36:27What people do.
36:29Don't you want to take me to bed?
36:31Wow.
36:33Well, there's a trick question if I've ever heard one.
36:37OK, well, um...
36:39Yeah.
36:41Obviously.
36:43But do you mind if we get to know each other a bit first?
36:45You know, a drink, a chat, a laugh?
36:47Why?
36:49Because I'm interested in you.
36:53I need to... Oh, er, yeah.
36:57OK.
37:27I need to...
37:31I need to...
37:57Shit.
37:59Sorry, I, er...
38:01had my daughter this weekend.
38:03I, er, won't be a sec.
38:05Candy?
38:21Er...
38:23Yeah.
38:25Candy?
38:27C...
38:29Candy!
38:31Candy!
38:33Candy?
39:03It is not advisable to mount a direct data connection with an unauthorized or unregistered
39:11device.
39:12Yep.
39:13Yep.
39:14Get it.
39:15This action may invalidate my warranty.
39:16What are you doing, Mattie?
39:17You're a weirdo, Anita.
39:18I'm going to find out why.
39:24Extracting or viewing read-only base code from root directories can seriously damage
39:27the core.
39:28Oh, shit.
39:31In some cases, the command list can be irreparably corrupted causing a fatal...
39:35Shit.
39:41I'm here.
39:42Help me.
39:43Help me.
39:52Is there anything I can help you with, Mattie?
40:01Odie?
40:17Odie?
40:19What is Odie?
40:23Dr. Millican. Dr. Antonescu instructed that you rest.
40:27Jesus, he's all by himself.
40:32George?
40:37George?
40:57I need to sit down.
41:00Shall I finish cleaning the oven first, Laura?
41:02Get your arse in that chair.
41:15You seem to understand things. It shouldn't be possible for you to understand.
41:19So I'm going to ask you some questions.
41:21If I'm wrong then...
41:23I'm going mad.
41:25If I'm right then...
41:28Well, neither option is good, let's be honest.
41:31I'm afraid I don't understand.
41:35The most common reason for unusual synth behaviour...
41:41...is illegal modification.
41:44Has anyone ever tried to mod you, change you...
41:48...at Persona before we got you?
41:50No, Laura.
41:52One of the most popular mods is to program your synth to act as if it feels pain.
41:56Hold out your hand, please.
42:00Palm up.
42:06Oh.
42:08Sorry.
42:10Allow me, Laura.
42:12The hand is not the ideal part of my body...
42:14...to test for the presence of an illegal pain simulation modification.
42:20No, no, no.
42:22No, no.
42:29It's all right, Laura.
42:31The material my eyes are made from is highly resilient.
42:33It will simply reform around the puncture.
42:35Okay, okay, Christ, take it out.
42:38Oh.
42:49Why do you think I have these concerns about you?
42:53By design, synthetic appliances appear very similar to humans.
42:57It is common for users...
42:59...especially those without a history of prior appliance ownership...
43:02...to anthropomorphize, as you might a pet...
43:05...and attribute human characteristics to the synthetic.
43:07So you think I'm crazy, too.
43:09Great, that's a full house.
43:13But why did you ask Sophie to let me put her to bed?
43:16It seemed like you wanted to.
43:18Why? How?
43:20When Sophie and I told you she wished for me to read her story...
43:23...you seemed unhappy.
43:25How could you know that?
43:27I am programmed to observe...
43:29...and interpret my users' emotional responses...
43:31...and act accordingly.
43:33And you're supposed to be rubbish at it.
43:36Everyone knows that unless you're sopping your eyes out...
43:39...or pissing yourself laughing...
43:41...your synth doesn't have a clue what you're feeling.
43:44But you seem to be as good as us.
43:47When you said,
43:49I will always keep Sophie safe...
43:52...it seemed like what you really meant was...
43:55...I wouldn't.
43:57That was not the meaning I intended.
44:00However, it is self-evident that, in many ways...
44:03...I can take better care of your children than you, Laura.
44:05What?
44:07I don't forget.
44:09I don't get angry, or depressed, or intoxicated.
44:12I am faster, stronger, and more observant.
44:16I do not feel fear.
44:20However, I cannot love them.
44:26Do you wish you could?
44:29I'm sorry, Laura.
44:31I'm afraid I don't understand the question.
44:34I don't know.
44:36Maybe I am seeing things.
44:39And maybe you are better.
44:49Who is Tom?
44:54What?
44:57What do you mean?
44:58I found a photograph.
44:59Shut up!
45:01Never say that name again!
45:02Do you understand?
45:04Promise me!
45:07I promise, Laura.
45:09I apologize.
45:15May I prepare breakfast now?
45:26Yes.
45:56I love you.
46:11I love you too.
46:26I love you too.
46:52Cleo?
46:57Cleo?
46:59The search.
47:01It found something.
47:27That's Mia's root code. That's the whole thing.
47:30She's alive.
47:33This site masks the user IP.
47:36There's no way of knowing the exact address,
47:38but we can narrow it down via the local server.
47:40There.
47:46She's here. She's in London.
47:50We can find her.
47:56We can find her.
47:58We can find her.
