Teaching My Robot Boyfriend How To Love
Transcript
00:00:00Now remember, you're here because of me.
00:00:11So don't go embarrassing me now.
00:00:14Michael, it's been a while.
00:00:17You're very sexy.
00:00:18I love you.
00:00:19So are you going to come over tonight?
00:00:21Oh, yeah.
00:00:22Who is she?
00:00:24Oh.
00:00:26It's just my girlfriend.
00:00:27She can watch us.
00:00:29Okay.
00:00:30I think you're forgetting your place, Anne.
00:00:37Remember, if you don't behave yourself, you can still have James terminated.
00:00:48James?
00:00:49Darling?
00:00:51Yes?
00:00:53Would you like me to get you a drink?
00:00:56James?
00:00:58Excuse me.
00:00:59Do I know you?
00:01:04James?
00:01:05Who's this?
00:01:06I'm not sure.
00:01:08What's happening?
00:01:10Excuse me, miss.
00:01:11This is very inappropriate.
00:01:12I don't know you.
00:01:14And I already have a girlfriend.
00:01:16Get your hands off of him.
00:01:17Who invited this woman to this party anyways?
00:01:20That's my girlfriend.
00:01:22That's my girlfriend.
00:01:23Oh, okay.
00:01:24But don't, Ben, stop embarrassing me.
00:01:27Well, well, well.
00:01:28Isn't it the infamous Michael Huston?
00:01:32Why am I not surprised?
00:01:34You seem to always pick up strays.
00:01:36And you always lower the bar.
00:01:39Humans aren't good enough for you now?
00:01:40I know your boyfriend's a robot.
00:01:45Oh, don't worry.
00:01:46I won't say a word.
00:01:48Just keep your mouth shut.
00:01:52False alarm.
00:01:54My girlfriend seems to be mixing this person up with someone else.
00:01:58Come on.
00:02:00James.
00:02:00Let's go.
00:02:01Please, James.
00:02:09What is this?
00:02:11Some sort of melodrama?
00:02:12It's so fucking ridiculous.
00:02:14James, let's go.
00:02:15I'm sorry, dear.
00:02:28I left something in the house.
00:02:29I thought robots remember everything.
00:02:32To make us more human, they make us imperfect.
00:02:36Because...
00:02:36Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:39Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:43What's wrong?
00:02:45Nothing.
00:02:46Perhaps just a slave malfunction.
00:02:48It just keeps on and on.
00:02:51And they say you're the perfect model.
00:02:54I'm sorry.
00:02:55But I'm alright now.
00:02:57I'll be right back.
00:03:03Bitch.
00:03:05You made me a laughingstock.
00:03:07You promised me you wouldn't erase his memory.
00:03:10I promised that I wouldn't have him terminated.
00:03:12I never said anything about not erasing his memory.
00:03:16Now, he's not going to remember you anymore.
00:03:19Come on.
00:03:21No, not anymore, you lying piece of shit.
00:03:25How dare you.
00:03:28You bitch.
00:03:29Shh.
00:03:33That's enough.
00:03:40Back off.
00:03:42Or I'll call the police.
00:03:44You still remember me?
00:03:46No.
00:03:47I just don't like seeing a man lay his hands on a woman.
00:03:49I said back off.
00:03:53You're going to regret this.
00:03:58Take care, miss.
00:04:00What do you think you're doing?
00:04:03Who gave you permission to help another girl?
00:04:06I apologize, Smith.
00:04:07Were you flirting with her?
00:04:10That is unacceptable.
00:04:12Of course not.
00:04:13I'm yours.
00:04:14And only yours.
00:04:16How do you prove it?
00:04:18Whatever you want me to do.
00:04:23Who?
00:04:25Jump off that balcony.
00:04:27Then I'll believe you.
00:04:29Of course.
00:04:33James?
00:04:34James, no.
00:04:41Please don't do this.
00:04:43I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:04:45No, James, stop.
00:04:47Why would you ask him to do this?
00:04:49You know he has to follow the orders of his owner.
00:04:51You may be a robot, but you have feelings.
00:04:54You have worth.
00:04:55You're...
00:04:55More human than human.
00:04:57You're...
00:04:58Human than human.
00:04:59How do you know he's a robot?
00:05:01I was James' last owner.
00:05:02His ex-girlfriend.
00:05:04They fucking sold me a used one?
00:05:08Oh, they're gonna get in so much trouble.
00:05:10James.
00:05:11Come on.
00:05:11Now.
00:05:13James!
00:05:16I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:05:25I'm coming.
00:05:26What the...
00:05:36Good morning, birthday girl.
00:05:41You delivered a dead guy to me.
00:05:43Oh, my God.
00:05:44He's not breathing.
00:05:45What?
00:05:45Did he die during transportation?
00:05:47Oh, my God.
00:05:47Oh, my God.
00:05:48We're gonna be in so much trouble.
00:05:49He's not a real person.
00:05:51My friend has his company, and they're testing out their newest AI boyfriend product.
00:05:55I thought you could use company, you know?
00:05:56It's been a while since you dated anyone.
00:05:58Wait, wait.
00:05:59Are you signing me up for a robot boyfriend?
00:06:02Just give it a chance.
00:06:03You might actually like him.
00:06:05Right.
00:06:06Like I'd ever have a robot be my boyfriend.
00:06:08No.
00:06:09I'm returning it.
00:06:22What's your name, beautiful?
00:06:27Um, um...
00:06:29Oh, just put me down.
00:06:31Jesus Christ.
00:06:32It's wrong.
00:06:33Yeah.
00:06:33Um, God, no.
00:06:37Can't be tempted.
00:06:40Where is the switch?
00:06:43I feel the strength in my arms.
00:06:47I can see the color around me.
00:06:52James, what if we could put that strength to good use?
00:07:01Follow me, James Alta.
00:07:03This is your chance to put that strength to good use.
00:07:10Help me clean up this mess.
00:07:13Easy peasy.
00:07:14An alpha male like me can make anything happen.
00:07:19Girlfriend.
00:07:21Oh, I'm not your girlfriend, nor your woman.
00:07:23I just...
00:07:25Just...
00:07:27Get to work.
00:07:28Get to work.
00:07:33What are you doing?
00:07:39I thought you were going to make it clean.
00:07:41Why is it even worse?
00:07:42Well, actually, cleaning isn't included in my factory settings.
00:07:46But...
00:07:47Clean is not important.
00:07:49As an alpha male type, let me show you how I take charge.
00:07:52You know what?
00:08:01I wish the word no was included in your factory settings.
00:08:05Stop trying to kiss me.
00:08:06Stop trying to carry me in your arms.
00:08:08You know what?
00:08:09Just stay away from me.
00:08:11You're lost.
00:08:12But don't worry.
00:08:13I'll be ready for our next fairytale moment.
00:08:16You know what?
00:08:18I think it's time to teach the CEO how to clean.
00:08:21You did a good job.
00:08:42I'm glad that I can spoil you.
00:08:44I didn't ask you to spoil me.
00:08:46You're just doing your job as part of the household.
00:08:48Which is, being a masculine and dominant CEO of this tiny apartment.
00:08:56I won't let my woman.
00:08:58I won't let you down.
00:09:01Just don't talk to me for the next few hours, okay?
00:09:18What are you doing?
00:09:33I'll keep you company.
00:09:41No.
00:09:42This isn't right.
00:09:45Come on, Anne.
00:09:45Let me show you just how I can care for you.
00:09:50No, no.
00:09:51I want real love.
00:09:52Not some sex service from a robot.
00:09:55But I do love you, Anne.
00:09:56Love me?
00:09:57You don't even know me.
00:09:58You're Anne Hill.
00:09:5928.
00:10:01The only daughter of Danny and Amanda Hill.
00:10:03You went to UCLA.
00:10:04You majored in English literature.
00:10:05Your cholesterol is a little bit high.
00:10:07Not these, James.
00:10:09The real me.
00:10:10You're programmed to love me, but that's not real love.
00:10:13It is real love.
00:10:14You're just a robot.
00:10:17You wouldn't know.
00:10:21Sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:10:22No.
00:10:23You're just a robot without a heart.
00:10:25You're just stating a fact.
00:10:28I need to apologize.
00:10:31Here.
00:10:34Sex service function, my own sanity.
00:10:36I'm going to turn it off.
00:10:42I'll be in the living room, Anne Hill.
00:10:52I've read your newest novel, and it's good, but...
00:10:57But what?
00:10:58You've been having dry spells, haven't you?
00:11:00You've got to get yourself out there.
00:11:02To get inspired.
00:11:04Guess what?
00:11:05My friend Dustin is visiting me today.
00:11:07Lillian, I'm not into blind dates or setups.
00:11:10You two would hit it off.
00:11:12Hi.
00:11:13I'm Dustin.
00:11:15Nice to meet you.
00:11:17Anne.
00:11:18Nice to meet you, too.
00:11:20I'll leave you two to it.
00:11:21I must say, it was a pleasant surprise.
00:11:29Do you want to exchange contact info?
00:11:31Sure.
00:11:33Just put your number in.
00:11:40Shane?
00:11:41Time to go.
00:11:42Shane!
00:11:45Catch God away just like that.
00:11:51What the hell, James?
00:11:58How did you even know I was here?
00:12:00I don't want you talking to that guy again.
00:12:01Wait, have you been following me?
00:12:03Anne, please, just listen.
00:12:04I didn't want you...
00:12:05No, James.
00:12:06I'm done listening to you.
00:12:08You have no right to follow me, let alone tell me who I can and can't see.
00:12:11But I'm your boyfriend.
00:12:13I'm also a dominant CEO type, and it's my responsibility to protect you.
00:12:16You said that you're not!
00:12:18I only kept you to help me with household chores.
00:12:20Nothing more.
00:12:22You're also far from a CEO.
00:12:24How many businesses have you run?
00:12:28James, if you keep doing stuff like this, I'll have no choice but to return you to the factory.
00:12:35Let's just go home.
00:12:50I'm going home.
00:12:51I'm sorry.
00:12:53I hope to get my home.
00:12:55I b sixties and people
00:12:59Fit AndꈑåœØ恓悓
00:12:59When I came home, you needn't see do-
00:13:09I'm sorry.
00:13:12I don't know
00:13:13You can miss me.
00:13:14I just can not Chaiky.
00:13:15The number you dialed is not a working number.
00:13:31Please check the number and dial again.
00:13:34I can't fully understand human emotions yet, but...
00:13:37You seem to have something on your mind.
00:13:40Dustin blocked me.
00:13:42Well, I just told him not to contact you.
00:13:44Didn't think he'd block you.
00:13:46You what?
00:13:48James, I told you not to interfere with my life.
00:13:51That's it. I'm returning you to the family.
00:13:53No, but I was just trying to...
00:13:53Well, I'm finding the remote that came to the box.
00:13:55No, just... just a little.
00:14:03What's this?
00:14:04I checked Dustin's records and his online trace.
00:14:07He takes nude photos of his dates and he puts them on the dark web.
00:14:11That's why I didn't want you to talk to him.
00:14:13Great.
00:14:13So the only guy I hit it off with in years turns out to be a pervert.
00:14:18I don't understand.
00:14:20You dodged a bullet.
00:14:23Why do you look so sad?
00:14:25Did I upset you?
00:14:27No, James.
00:14:28It's not your fault.
00:14:29I guess I just have terrible luck with men.
00:14:34There goes my date.
00:14:38I was designed to make you feel better.
00:14:42Would you like it if I took you on a date instead?
00:14:44Not as a boyfriend.
00:14:47Just as a friend.
00:14:50You know what?
00:14:52Fuck it.
00:14:54Let's do it.
00:14:55Yeah.
00:15:07That's nice.
00:15:10Shall we?
00:15:11Hi.
00:15:22Hi.
00:15:23Welcome.
00:15:24Can I get you started with anything?
00:15:26Oh, I'm still looking at the menu.
00:15:27Gotcha.
00:15:28It's our first time here.
00:15:30Of course.
00:15:31Yeah.
00:15:32No.
00:15:32Not everyone can afford to dine here.
00:15:35You guys do know that it is a thousand dollar minimum consumption?
00:15:38A thousand dollars per person?
00:15:40That's crazy.
00:15:42Perhaps we should go.
00:15:44Well, perhaps you shouldn't have come here in the first place.
00:15:47One thousand dollars.
00:15:48Yeah.
00:15:50Easy peasy.
00:15:54We'll have the caviar appetizer to start,
00:15:57followed by the Wagyu steak with the truffled mashed potatoes,
00:16:00and don't forget the lobster tail is a sign.
00:16:03Owen, please bring us a bottle of your finest Pinot Noir.
00:16:06Jeez.
00:16:06I can't afford that.
00:16:08Why am I not surprised?
00:16:10If you can't afford it, please, please.
00:16:13I'll take care of the bill.
00:16:14In that case,
00:16:16do you mind paying in advance?
00:16:19It's policy for first-time patriots.
00:16:24Of course.
00:16:28Thank you, sir.
00:16:33Um, please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you guys.
00:16:36So I'm going to be glad to do that.
00:16:38So.
00:16:39You can stay here and serve us.
00:16:42We'd also appreciate a bigger smile.
00:16:44And then who knows?
00:16:45Maybe we'll leave you a big day.
00:16:46Right on it.
00:16:47Is there anything else I can do for you guys?
00:16:55You can go now.
00:17:00Where did that money come from?
00:17:03I have to test this bank account.
00:17:04I can't believe you did that.
00:17:06I can't believe you did that.
00:17:08Uh, I'm so full.
00:17:12Me too.
00:17:14You didn't even eat because you can't eat human food.
00:17:17I like watching you eat.
00:17:18Mom, Dad, what, what a surprise.
00:17:33Come on.
00:17:34Sweetheart.
00:17:34We didn't know you had a guest.
00:17:37You must be Danny and Amanda.
00:17:38Yeah.
00:17:39It's so nice to meet you.
00:17:39Honey, it is so good to see that you are not alone.
00:17:51We've been worried about you.
00:17:53Yes.
00:17:54It's about time you found someone special.
00:17:57Especially such a cute guy like James.
00:18:00Honey.
00:18:01Of course, you're the cutest.
00:18:03Honey.
00:18:03You two make each other happy.
00:18:07I'd like to make Anne happy, too.
00:18:09Aw.
00:18:10James, you're a good guy.
00:18:14Let's fuck with us.
00:18:15I was manufactured to be Anne's boyfriend.
00:18:20What do you mean, manufactured?
00:18:22Mom, Dad, you know, it's getting so late.
00:18:25I'm an artificial intelligence.
00:18:27I was manufactured by Alta Technology.
00:18:28Artificial intelligence?
00:18:34What are you talking about?
00:18:36In common terms, I'm a robot program to serve Anne's needs.
00:18:39I provide a boyfriend experience and sex services,
00:18:42including all kinds of kinky sexual activities.
00:18:45Stop, James.
00:18:45Don't talk about that.
00:18:47Anne, this is absurd.
00:18:50You've been single for so long that now you're fetishizing a robot?
00:18:54You've got to stop the fetishizing?
00:18:57The fantasy?
00:18:58You can't be in a relationship with a machine.
00:19:01No, Dad, I am not in a relationship with him.
00:19:04Anne and I were just about to kiss when he walked in.
00:19:06James, you are not helping.
00:19:08Should we prove it?
00:19:09No.
00:19:10Mom, Dad, it's not what you think.
00:19:12I'm the dominant masculine CEO of this tiny...
00:19:15James, temporarily shut down.
00:19:22Honey, maybe we should get one.
00:19:24Amanda, please be serious.
00:19:26Right.
00:19:27Anne, sweetheart.
00:19:28We realize that you might be going through a rough patch, but this isn't the solution.
00:19:34You've got to meet somebody real.
00:19:36Who can also make you happy.
00:19:38I have heard there are dating apps designed for people into kinky sex.
00:19:45Phil, Mom, no, I don't want that.
00:19:47Honey, we just want what's best for you, but a robot is not it.
00:19:52My friend Leslie's son is a...
00:19:56Well, he's a real catch.
00:19:58He's kind.
00:19:59He's successful.
00:20:01He's charming.
00:20:02Charming?
00:20:03You should meet him.
00:20:04Mom, Dad, I...
00:20:05Sweetheart, please just give it a chance.
00:20:08He's charming.
00:20:09Very charming.
00:20:10Charming.
00:20:11Charming.
00:20:12Fine.
00:20:12I'll meet him.
00:20:29Michael Peston?
00:20:30Anne Hill?
00:20:31It's been ages.
00:20:33You look stunning, as always.
00:20:34Your mom knows my mom?
00:20:36Yeah.
00:20:37When I found out, I asked her to set up a date.
00:20:40You want to dance?
00:21:00No, thanks.
00:21:04Come on.
00:21:05How can you turn this down?
00:21:10Hands off, you creep.
00:21:18All right, I've asked you out.
00:21:20And now you're not going to dance with me?
00:21:22Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:21:23Someone who doesn't waste time on boys.
00:21:26Who think they can charm their way into anything.
00:21:31I'd like to go on a date with you.
00:21:33Fuck off.
00:21:34You'll regret this.
00:21:44What do you want, Michael?
00:21:48Look, I know you don't trust me.
00:21:52I was a total jerk back then, but I've done a lot of growing up since college.
00:21:56I'm not the same guy.
00:21:58Really?
00:21:59Yeah.
00:21:59I won't apologize to you.
00:22:02I'm sorry for my behavior.
00:22:06If you want me to leave, I understand.
00:22:09No.
00:22:10It's okay.
00:22:11You can stay.
00:22:13Thanks.
00:22:15So what have you been up to?
00:22:17Well, I started my own tech startup.
00:22:20We're doing really well, actually.
00:22:21I'm surprised you didn't just go work for your dad.
00:22:26Well, he actually is my angel investor, so...
00:22:30Why am I not surprised?
00:22:33I know.
00:22:34You think I'm just this trust fund baby who has everything handed to him, but I'm much more than that.
00:22:40I started my own charity for underprivileged kids.
00:22:44It's been incredibly rewarding.
00:22:46Here.
00:22:46Here.
00:22:46Here.
00:22:51What's been up with you?
00:23:06And I've had a wonderful time.
00:23:09Would you let me drive you home?
00:23:11That would be lovely.
00:23:18Okay.
00:23:18Your place or mine.
00:23:20What?
00:23:21I mean, you agreed to have me drive you home, but clearly you won't have a sentence.
00:23:26Are you kidding me?
00:23:28That's far from the truth.
00:23:30That would be such a prune.
00:23:32We had a nice time.
00:23:34I paid for the food.
00:23:36I laughed at your stupid jokes.
00:23:37I complimented you.
00:23:39You haven't changed a bit, Michael Piston.
00:23:42It was all but a lie.
00:23:43You should tell if you're a touchless little bitch.
00:23:45I'll always have to be charged.
00:23:48Get off of me!
00:23:49I'll always have to be charged.
00:23:50I'll always have to be charged.
00:23:51Hey, no.
00:23:54I'll always have to be charged.
00:23:55I'll always have to be charged.
00:23:56Michael, get off.
00:23:57Are you kidding me?
00:23:57Please!
00:23:58The more it makes me want you more.
00:24:00I can tell.
00:24:01You want me too.
00:24:05Ow!

00:26:17what would happen?
00:26:23deactivation and termination
00:26:25what do you mean by termination?
00:26:28the robot would be destroyed?
00:26:32I can't do that to James

00:29:45it's just a movie
00:29:47it's not just a movie

00:29:49it's about love
00:29:51marguerite sacrifices
00:29:53her life for a wand
00:29:54because she loves him
00:29:55so much
00:29:56their love is so pure
00:29:58so
00:29:59powerful
00:30:01what is love?
00:30:05love is
00:30:06that uncontrollable feeling
00:30:10of wanting to give
00:30:11everything
00:30:11to the other person
00:30:13it means sacrificing
00:30:16your own life
00:30:16I want to give everything
00:30:25I have to you
00:30:26I don't have a real life
00:30:29but if I did
00:30:29I'd give it to you too
00:30:31I don't have a
00:31:01It's not real.
00:31:04It'll never be real.
00:31:21Is everything all right?
00:31:22My old college roommate, Jessica, wants to get dinner.
00:31:25Is this a social gathering in which you could bring a significant other?
00:31:31No.
00:31:32And again, you're not my boyfriend.
00:31:38Can I still come?
00:31:40James, I don't think you're ready for that.
00:31:43And I don't want everyone to know you're a robot.
00:31:45I understand.
00:31:48I promise I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
00:31:51Okay?
00:31:51Anne, you made it.
00:32:11Jessica, this isn't what you said it would be.
00:32:14Oh, did I forget to mention?
00:32:21Michael insisted on hosting a little gathering, and I thought it would be fun to surprise you.
00:32:26So you're working with Michael Peston to humiliate me?
00:32:31Great.
00:32:32Well, well, well.
00:32:34Little Annie Hill.
00:32:35A girl who can't take a hint.
00:32:37Has come to grace us with her presence.
00:32:39You know, Anne here once confessed her undying love for me.
00:32:46Sorry, sweetheart.
00:32:50You're just not my type.
00:32:52That's not true.
00:32:53I never said any of that.
00:32:57Sorry, miss.
00:32:58But Mr. Peston requested your presence.
00:33:01Here's how it's going to go, Anne.
00:33:02You're going to kiss my shoes and beg for forgiveness.
00:33:08Or.
00:33:11Actually, that's the only option.
00:33:19Hey, give that back.
00:33:20It's a niner, Anne.
00:33:22You afraid of a little kiss?
00:33:24I won't do that, Michael.
00:33:27Oh.
00:33:29Oh.
00:33:30Okay.
00:33:30Sorry.
00:33:32My mistake.
00:33:34In that case,
00:33:35why don't you drink this instead?
00:33:39Yeah, this bottle of Spiritus Vodka.
00:33:42You drink the entire thing,
00:33:44and I'll forgive you.
00:33:46Oh, it is the highest proof spirit in the world.
00:33:49Michael?
00:33:51You know I don't drink.
00:33:53Oh, she doesn't drink.
00:33:54Well, I guess I'll have to help you then.
00:33:57Open up.
00:33:57Oh, Michael, please.
00:33:58Here we go.
00:33:59Let her go.
00:34:02He's doing it.
00:34:02You're in it.
00:34:03Go.
00:34:08No.
00:34:10Stop.
00:34:13Stop.
00:34:14Stop.
00:34:15There we go.
00:34:17Looks like your knight in shining armor can't do anything now.
00:34:20Seeing as he's detained.
00:34:22Jamesy.
00:34:23You get some watch, buddy.
00:34:26Break up and...
00:34:27Let her go.
00:34:28Let her go, you coward!
00:34:30Come on, please!
00:34:31Come on!
00:34:31I'll drink.
00:34:35James, you can't.
00:34:36I'll drink in the hell's sake.
00:34:39You won't do it.
00:34:42How about you, Parker?
00:34:44Oh, that's touching, James.
00:34:46Really.
00:34:48You warm my heart.
00:34:50You know what?
00:34:52Okay.
00:34:54Come here.
00:34:56Drink it, James.
00:34:58No, James, don't.
00:35:00You don't have to, James.
00:35:10Shh, shh, shh, shh.
00:35:24It's done.
00:35:25You said if I finished it, you'd let her go.
00:35:33Go ahead, Anne.
00:35:37This isn't over.
00:35:40Yeah, I took a shit.
00:35:46Anne, he'll is really not worth it.
00:35:48You still have me.
00:35:50Yeah.
00:35:52What do you know about this James guy?
00:35:55How did he drink the whole bottle without flinching?
00:36:00Does it make sense?
00:36:02There's something off about it.
00:36:05Michael, let's forget about them and let's focus on us.
00:36:10Go.
00:36:11Okay.
00:36:12Bye-bye.
00:36:16We should have won a background check on this James guy.
00:36:20I want to know everything about his family, where he's from, where he shits, where he eats, everything.
00:36:26Just, just find out.
00:36:28James, are you all right?
00:36:43I think I'll go.
00:36:44It's actually corroding my circuitry.
00:36:48Why did you do that, then?
00:36:51You once said to me that love is the uncontrollable desire to give the other person everything.
00:36:56You think that means sacrifice in your own life.
00:36:59I want him to do that for you, Anne.
00:37:02If you don't technically have a life.
00:37:04You're more human than human.
00:37:16Well, let's not talk about that now.
00:37:18We have to get you through the factory.
00:37:21Let's go get you repaired.
00:37:22We need to replace some damaged components and...
00:37:52We program him.
00:37:53But it won't be cheap, since it's outside the warranty coverage.
00:37:57How much is it going to cost?
00:38:00$80,000.
00:38:02Honestly, if I were you, I would just get a new one.
00:38:05I don't want a new robot.
00:38:07I want him back.
00:38:09I will try to get the money.
00:38:10Just do whatever it takes to fix it.
00:38:12Very well.
00:38:13We'll get started right away.
00:38:16But it's going to take some time.
00:38:17Okay.
00:38:22I got some intel.
00:38:33That James...
00:38:35Turns out...
00:38:38He's a robot.
00:38:41I came as soon as I heard the news.
00:38:43I'm so sorry, Anne.
00:38:44I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:38:57I only have $10,000 in extra cash.
00:39:00How much do you need to fix James?
00:39:01I have $20,000 myself, but that's it.
00:39:04Even with your money, I still need $50,000 more.
00:39:08This is all my fault for getting you into this mess.
00:39:10If I hadn't signed you up for the robot in the first place...
00:39:13Don't blame yourself, Hannah.
00:39:15James may be a robot, but...
00:39:18He's loved me like no one ever has.
00:39:21I wouldn't trade that for anything.
00:39:38Hello, Anne.
00:39:40What do you want to get?
00:39:43I know everything about your friend James.
00:39:47Wow.
00:39:48What a small, pathetic apartment.
00:39:52You know, you're my girlfriend.
00:39:56You would live in the nicest mansion.
00:39:58Leave, or we will call the police.
00:40:01No.
00:40:02You won't.
00:40:03I'm sorry, who are you?
00:40:05I'm Anne's best friend.
00:40:06The one who got her the robot.
00:40:07Tell me, what's your plan for getting him back to her?
00:40:12That's none of your business.
00:40:14It's every bit my business, actually.
00:40:17I know you're having some hard times covering money to pay for his repairs.
00:40:21I have a bit of a proposition for you.
00:40:23And what might that be?
00:40:25Oh, it's simple.
00:40:27Be my girlfriend.
00:40:29Break things off with James.
00:40:30I'll cover the costs.
00:40:33You're despicable, Michael.
00:40:34Well, call it what you want, but the choice is yours.
00:40:37I would never be your girlfriend, Michael Peston.
00:40:42I'll find money.
00:40:43I don't need yours.
00:40:45I knew you'd say that.
00:40:47Here's the thing.
00:40:49I'm just being generous with this whole facade.
00:40:52It's not actually up to you.
00:40:53And what makes you think Anne will follow your order?
00:40:56If she doesn't, I'll have James terminated.
00:41:03You do know that actions have consequences, Anne.
00:41:06I think you'll both find this pretty enlightening.
00:41:08James did that only to protect me from this monster.
00:41:22He tried to rape me.
00:41:24Well, you can't prove that.
00:41:28Let's see.
00:41:28With this footage, I can prove that James has a bit of a temper problem.
00:41:32And I think his manufacturer policy says any robot that does harm to a human
00:41:37is subject for termination.
00:41:40So what's it going to be, Anne?
00:41:42Choose me and save James' life.
00:41:46Well, watch as I have him dismantled peace by peace.
00:41:52Anne, don't do this.
00:41:54Find another way.
00:41:57I'll do it.
00:42:00I'll be your girlfriend.
00:42:02Good girl.
00:42:04I knew you'd see things my way eventually.
00:42:06Anne, you can't be serious.
00:42:08Well, it's settled then.
00:42:17I'm back.
00:42:18James, are you all recovered?
00:42:20Look, they even gave me a new arm.
00:42:27James, we need to talk.
00:42:32What's wrong, Anne?
00:42:33I've been thinking, and I think it's best if we end this.
00:42:39What did I do wrong?
00:42:41It's not you, James.
00:42:42No, no, they fixed my components and they reprogrammed me to be even stronger and more capable.
00:42:45It's me.
00:42:46I just can't do this anymore.
00:42:48You're not a human and you'll never be one.
00:42:51I need someone real.
00:42:55Not you.
00:42:55Anne.
00:42:56Anne.
00:42:57Anne, please, don't do this.
00:43:00James.
00:43:00I love you, Anne.
00:43:01I love you.
00:43:02James, you should find someone else.
00:43:05Someone that's not me.
00:43:07I don't want anything but you.
00:43:08I want...
00:43:09Well, well, well.
00:43:17What do we have here?
00:43:21Michael.
00:43:23I just couldn't bear to be away from my new girlfriend for too long.
00:43:27Darling.
00:43:31Oh, Anne, is this...
00:43:32Is this real?
00:43:38Michael.
00:43:39Michael is rich and powerful.
00:43:41And more importantly, he's not a robot like you.
00:43:45You should go, James.
00:43:48Leave.
00:43:49It's not you, James.
00:44:13It's me.
00:44:14I just...
00:44:14I can't do this anymore.
00:44:16You're not a human and you'll never be one.
00:44:18I need someone real.
00:44:19Not you.
00:44:20I can cry.
00:44:21I can cry.
00:44:21I can cry.
00:44:22I can cry.
00:44:22You're not a human and you'll never be one.
00:44:24I can cry.
00:44:25Yeah, boss, here we got him.
00:44:42Erase his memory.
00:44:44Boss, why don't you just kill the robot?
00:44:47Well, what's the fun in that?
00:44:50I can't wait to see my new girlfriend's face when she finds out about this.
00:44:55All right, that's it.
00:45:12Send her back to the factory when this is done.
00:45:25This one is cute.
00:45:39Actually, he's our best model.
00:45:42And he's recently updated.
00:45:43Is he obedient?
00:45:44I want one that can do whatever I want him to do.
00:45:47Yes.
00:45:48Great.
00:45:49Pack this one up and send him to my house.
00:45:52I have to tell you that he...
00:45:54He had a previous owner, but it seems like you don't care.
00:45:59Remember, if you don't behave yourself, you can still have James terminated.
00:46:15James?
00:46:15Do I know you?
00:46:16My girlfriend seems to be mixing this person up with someone else.
00:46:19You promised me you wouldn't erase his memory.
00:46:22I promised that I wouldn't have him terminated.
00:46:25I never said anything about not erasing his memory.
00:46:27You bitch.
00:46:30I said back off!
00:46:32Jump off that balcony.
00:46:34No, James, stop!
00:46:36I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:46:37I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:46:44Hannah, I don't know what to do.
00:46:47First, I'm glad you can finally get that psychopath Michael off your back.
00:46:51At least now we can't use James to blackmail you into being his girlfriend.
00:46:54But I've lost James forever.
00:46:57What if I tell you you haven't lost him?
00:46:59What do you mean?
00:47:01After you agreed to Michael's terms, I went back to the factory while James was still being repaired.
00:47:08I backed up his memory.
00:47:11Hannah!
00:47:11You still have to put it back in him, though.
00:47:19I know.
00:47:21I have to come up with a plan to get to James first.
00:47:23I feel so sorry for introducing you to Dustin.
00:47:34It's not your fault.
00:47:34How could you know he was a creep?
00:47:36Ugh.
00:47:37Let me make it up to you.
00:47:38Tell me what I can do to help.
00:47:40Do you know Samantha Delaney from the Delaney family?
00:47:44That obnoxious rich girl who bought her way into becoming a fashion influencer?
00:47:50Ugh.
00:47:51She's always wanted a book deal with us, but I turned her down.
00:47:55Can you invite her to your office?
00:47:58Sure.
00:47:59Ask her to bring her boyfriend.
00:48:01This is unacceptable!
00:48:08You sold me a used piece of junk!
00:48:10Ma'am, I tried to tell you, but you didn't listen.
00:48:12Plus, you specifically asked for our best model, and he's the best.
00:48:16You must have felt it, too.
00:48:17He's a very well-suited robot boyfriend.
00:48:21You guys should be grateful I'm not going to sue you.
00:48:26Can you remember anything from before?
00:48:31No.
00:48:35Once the memory is wiped out, he...
00:48:37Shouldn't be able to remember anything.
00:48:41So you can add specific feelings to him, too?
00:48:44What do you mean?
00:48:45I want him to hate his ex-owner.
00:48:48And he'll...
00:48:50I'm sorry, but we can't do that.
00:48:52I'll pay an insane amount of money.
00:48:53Still no.
00:48:55It's extremely unethical for us to do such a thing.
00:48:59Of course.
00:49:00I understand.
00:49:02Just a thought.
00:49:04You two have a wonderful day.
00:49:13James!
00:49:19They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:49:23I guess that makes us friends.
00:49:28Michael Peston.
00:49:30I guess we are.
00:49:32Samantha DeLone.
00:49:33We can implant negative memories of Anne into James' mind.
00:49:48How do we create those memories?
00:49:50I have been making Anne do a lot of humiliating things this past month.
00:49:55Kept a record of most of them.
00:49:57We could use those.
00:49:58Create the memories.
00:50:00You're so sick, Peston.
00:50:01Do you want to do it?
00:50:04Or not?
00:50:06James was my robot.
00:50:08And he should only be mine.
00:50:09What is it about this robot that makes you and Anne and everybody so goddamn obsessed?
00:50:18Stop!
00:50:19That's why no one likes you.
00:50:23Whatever.
00:50:25Let's just do it.
00:50:26Okay?
00:50:27Okay?
00:50:36Now, James.
00:50:39Tell me.
00:50:40How do you feel about Anne Hill?
00:50:46She's disgusting.
00:50:50I hate her.
00:50:58Hmph.
00:50:59It's about time.
00:51:01Welcome, Miss Delaney.
00:51:10We're so glad to have you here.
00:51:13I hope you all have a better proposition for me this time.
00:51:16We're very confident that our plan will make your biography a New York bestseller.
00:51:21But first, I'd like to show you around the office.
00:51:23In here we have our lovely green room.
00:51:29There's some champagne and caviar.
00:51:32Don't worry.
00:51:32You can help yourself, okay?
00:51:35Hey.
00:51:37James?
00:51:38We need to talk.
00:51:40It's you again.
00:51:42You must feel something from before.
00:51:44You have to.
00:51:45I can feel it.
00:51:50I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:52This is your memory from before.
00:51:54Please give it a chance.
00:52:00Sorry, Paul.
00:52:02Shouldn't put a stop to all of this.
00:52:03You're a crazy stalker.
00:52:05Don't ever talk to me again.
00:52:07You crossed the line, Anne Hill.
00:52:10What's that?
00:52:11It's none of your business.
00:52:13You're gonna pay for this.
00:52:16James, let's go.
00:52:23Could you throw something on?
00:52:31Please.
00:52:31It worked.
00:52:47James hates Anne.
00:52:48Of course it worked.
00:52:49You said you wiped out James' memory.
00:52:51Uh-huh.
00:52:55But what if it's backed up somewhere else?
00:53:00What's that?
00:53:01It's none of your business.
00:53:03Well, if that's the case...
00:53:06We'll just have to take this plan to the next level.
00:53:11Please.
00:53:18Oops.
00:53:19I highly doubt that James can remember anything from before.
00:53:26Once the memory is wiped off, it's gone.
00:53:28But I can feel it.
00:53:29I'm sorry.
00:53:29It's just impossible.
00:53:31Regardless, we should focus on why James acted the way he did.
00:53:35Well, machines develop new learning behaviors all the time.
00:53:37They're constantly evolving.
00:53:39That.
00:53:41Or...
00:53:43James might have been fed some negative memories of man.
00:53:46What do you mean?
00:53:47Samantha asked if we could plant negative memories into James.
00:53:52Of course, I rejected it, since it's highly unethical.
00:53:55There are indeed some rumors of a black market where such modifications can be made.
00:54:00Modifications?
00:54:02Basically, to make the robot hate humans.
00:54:05I have to save James.
00:54:09Anne!
00:54:14James!
00:54:25Help!
00:54:29Help!
00:54:30Well...
00:54:32Well...
00:54:33Anne.
00:54:35You're underground.
00:54:36I don't think anyone's going to hear you.
00:54:39But I gotta say, I really enjoy watching you struggle.
00:54:42It just...
00:54:43It just makes me want you more.
00:54:46Let me go.
00:54:48Sorry, you can't do that.
00:54:50You see...
00:54:51I told you this wasn't over.
00:54:55You're mine.
00:54:57And only...
00:54:58You're mine.
00:54:59I told you this was all three of those.
00:55:03It's all mine.
00:55:07I told you...
00:55:08Where's James' memory card?
00:55:10Fuck you!
00:55:13We'll get to that.
00:55:15Ah-ha!
00:55:17What's the best you could think of?
00:55:21Ah-ha!
00:55:22Well, there you go.
00:55:28Ah-ha!
00:55:28Ah-ha!
00:55:29You know, I really wish I could just destroy him completely.
00:55:35Just tear him apart.
00:55:38But Samantha insists on making a few minor tweaks to him, so...
00:55:42I'm gonna give him free reign.
00:55:49Obedience level set to 100?
00:55:52What happens to him once he gets there?
00:55:54Might even attempt to hurt Anne.
00:55:59Yeah.
00:56:00That's fine.
00:56:01Go ahead.
00:56:01No, Michael.
00:56:12James is a sentient being.
00:56:13He has his own feelings and...
00:56:15I get some...
00:56:16Fuck!
00:56:18About...
00:56:19The robot.
00:56:21You.
00:56:21I'd rather die than let you do this to me!
00:56:29Shh!
00:56:32Get off!
00:56:34Heston!
00:56:35You are so disgusting!
00:56:40Whatever.
00:56:41You know, if I can't have you, I might as well just kill you.
00:56:50Okay.
00:56:51Hey.
00:56:53We both got what we wanted.
00:56:55There's no need to...
00:56:56Actually, I have a better idea.
00:56:57Take it to the roof.
00:56:59We'll throw her off.
00:57:10James.
00:57:11No, it's me.
00:57:13Are you sorry, Anne?
00:57:14It has to be done.
00:57:18One, two, three.
00:57:20One, two, three.
00:57:23What?
00:57:23What the fuck are you...
00:57:26Get off of me!
00:57:28Get off of me!
00:57:29Get off of me!
00:57:29Get off of me!
00:57:31Get off of me!
00:57:32Get off!
00:57:33Stop!
00:57:34All right.
00:57:36James?
00:57:41I shut down my core memory before they tried to reprogram me.
00:57:44I won't let them use me to hurt anyone.
00:57:46You've developed self-consciousness?
00:57:47Self-consciousness?
00:57:52Does this mean you remember me?
00:57:55Fortunately, no.
00:57:57I developed self-consciousness quite recently.
00:58:00I can't remember anything before that.
00:58:02I just...
00:58:03I knew that I shouldn't hate you or hurt you.
00:58:09Your memory card was also destroyed.
00:58:11But there's still hope, right?
00:58:14Self-consciousness can help us develop more new memories.
00:58:18You may be a robot, but you have worth.
00:58:21You're...
00:58:21Human, little human.
00:58:23Whenever you're present, I feel something.
00:58:27Like I really have a heart.
00:58:28So, I'd love to create new memories with you.
00:58:37Hey!
00:58:47God damn it!
00:58:54Okay.
00:58:55Okay.
00:58:58All done, boss.
00:59:03Hey!
00:59:04Let me go!
00:59:05You crossed me, Samantha.
00:59:08You broke my trust.
00:59:10Michael, just stop.
00:59:11It's out of control now.
00:59:13On the contrary.
00:59:15It's finally under my control.
00:59:20Once and for all,
00:59:22this robot is just an inferior being
00:59:24that doesn't deserve to have its own thoughts.
00:59:26I'm going to destroy that god damn robot.
00:59:31You can't do that, you piece of shit!
00:59:36Wash your mouth, bitch.
00:59:38Or you'll be lost.
00:59:40You'll kick Michael!
00:59:42Stop!
00:59:43You're going to kill him!
00:59:45Stop!
00:59:51Let me go!
00:59:53No!

01:05:07Thank you all for coming tonight.
01:05:14I'm grateful for the support.
01:05:20Yes?
01:05:21What inspired your novel?
01:05:24It's inspired by my own life story.
01:05:26I learned the true meaning of love from an unexpected source, a robot named James.
01:05:32He taught me that love knows no bounds and that true love transcends the limitations of the physical world.
01:05:39And now, if you'll indulge me, I would like to read a passage from the book.
01:05:44He was more than just a machine.
01:05:46He was my confidant, my companion, my love.
01:05:50In his eyes, I found solace.
01:05:52In his touch, I felt whole.
01:05:54And though he may have been made of metal and wires, his heart beat with a love that was as real as any humans.
01:06:01Your tone is different on our morning calls.
01:06:07I used to think we were above it all.
01:06:11I always answered when you needed me.
01:06:13Hello, him.
01:06:13I always answered when you needed me, because something happened and we haven't been right for weeks.
01:06:20Where are we?
