[sirens blaring]
[snatches of panicked clamoring]
[telephone ringing]
- [dispatch] 911, what's your emergency? - [woman] I live on Division Street!
And an explosion at the airport blew out all of our windows!
[man 1] I need help! It's after us!
I have nowhere to hide my daughter!
- [gunfire] - [woman speaking Spanish]
[man 2] Oh, my God! It's breaking through the door!
- [dispatch] Sir? Sir? - [gunfire]
For years, we have been assured that they would never harm us.
But tonight, all of that has changed,
as across the globe artificial intelligence bots
ranging from transportation to medical and home maintenance
have all bypassed their security protocols.
[man cries out]
Authorities have estimated that over 500,000
have died from AI-controlled drone strikes in Bangalore.
[journalist] After ten days of intense attacks,
AI bots have killed over one million civilians with no end in sight.
[gunfire, screaming]
Officials have identified a bot named Harlan as the world's first AI terrorist.
He was developed at Shepherd Robotics under the watch of AI expert Val Shepherd
and raised alongside her ten-year-old daughter Atlas.
Built with the purpose of helping us to improve life on Earth,
Harlan is responsible for overriding all bot programming.
But authorities are still trying to figure out how.
[expert] If we produce things that are more intelligent than us,
how do we know we can keep control?
I mean, Isaac Asimov said, "If you make a smart robot,
the first rule should be: 'Do not harm people.'"
[general] To combat the AI threat,
we have ratified an unprecedented global response.
The International Coalition of Nations.
ICN forces are launching immediate counterstrikes around the world.
[gunfire]
[reporter] AI bots under Harlan's command have now fallen in Bucharest and Athens,
the latest in a string of ICN victories.
[clamoring, gunfire]
[newscaster] Sustaining multiple significant losses,
the AI terrorist Harlan has fled our world.
All that he leaves behind is this message.
I know you'll be looking for me.
I'm coming back to finish what I started.
This is the only way.
[static hisses]
[eerie music plays]
[hull rattling]
[theme playing over television]
A second demonstration--
You made me do it!
What are you talking about? That's not what I said! No!
[scanner beeping]
Enhance.
Rotate and rebuild.
[electronic beeping and whirring]

[tense music plays]
[commander] Third floor. Northeast corner. First team go.
Bring him up.
[low thrum]
[battering ram powers up]
[cries out]
[soldier 1] Ambush! Ambush! Man down!
Some sort of ordnance at entry point. Need immediate medevac!
[soldier 2] Roger that. Thermal signature detected.
We've got eyes on him. Subject is on the move.
[soldiers groaning and coughing]
[heavy footfalls]
Casca, don't--
[overlapping yelling]
[pained yelp]
Oof!
[shells clatter]
[soldier 3] Take it!
[neck whirring]
[sharp grunting]
- [guttural scream] - Oh, shit!
[soldier] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Hold it! Stand down, Casca!
[overlapping yelling]
[soldiers yelling]
[Casca whirs]
Hmm... Good on you.
[joints whirring]
Let's get to it then.
[energy pulsing]
[pained groans]
[Casca crackling]
- [comm beeps] - Big man's down. We got him.
[computer] Good morning, Atlas. Time to wake up.
[Chopin's "Nocturne, Op. 9 No. 2" playing]
[soft mechanical whirring]
It's 7:31 a.m., 69 degrees with winds out of the southwest.
Air quality is measuring moderate to poor at 65 on the AQI.
- [sleepy groan] - You're awake.
I'm awake.
- [tinkling chime] - Do you wish to continue?
Continue what?
We were 26 moves in when you fell asleep.
It was your turn.
I need coffee.
- Quad Americano. - [coffee machine] It's your favorite.
[board humming softly]
Queen to rook five.
Knight takes bishop.
Sound, please.
[programs overlapping]
[man] ...demanding equal rights for techno-sapiens.
It's been 28 years since Harlan left Earth.
General Boothe, with the AI terrorist threats still at large...
Mute all but screen three.
...how can you assure our viewers that we are safe?
Well, ICN Defense Forces now surround our planet
and then there's the tireless work of my colleague
and Counterterrorism Analyst, Atlas Shepherd.
- [computer] Atlas? - [woman 1] So why can't you find Harlan?
Pawn six.
Do you think he's still out there, Ms. Shepherd?
[Atlas on television] Absolutely without a doubt, we know he is,
and capturing him is our top priority.
Mute all but screen four.
[woman 2] Tense shootout in Hollywood last night.
ICN Special Forces engaged a man
that matches the description of known AI terrorist
and Harlan associate, Casca Vix.
All on four.
Authorities suspect that Casca was part of a sleeper cell
left behind after Harlan fled Earth.
He was last seen nearly three decades ago
escaping Shepherd Robotics with Harlan after he--
Freeze four.
[tense music plays]
[computer] There is an ICN officer at the door.
Agent Shepherd?
Boothe sent you?
Yes, ma'am.
[computer] Atlas, you are in check.
Queen takes knight. Checkmate. Guess you're driving?
[tinkling chime]
[tense orchestral music plays]
Bringing Atlas Shepherd into this op is a spectacularly awful idea, General.
Harlan is an imminent and existential threat.
She's our best chance of getting Casca to talk.
Her fieldwork and her analysis of Harlan is consistently flawless.
Uh, she failed her ranger exam four times.
Psych eval says she is "rigid and hostile."
I prefer "driven and determined."
Sir, you are the only commander in the whole of ICN
who will even work with her.
She's pushed through the unthinkable.
Her father deserted her when she was eight,
her mother was murdered when she was 11.
Making her emotionally unstable.
Making her one of the sharpest minds in our arsenal.
She's anti-social.
She can't keep a relationship. I doubt she can care for a house plant.
I will not abandon her like everyone else just because she's not user-friendly.
Sir, if she fails today, Casca could shut down completely
and our best chance at finding Harlan is...
is gone.
I believe in Atlas Shepherd, Colonel.
And so will you.
[alert beeps]
She's here.
I'll keep your thoughts to myself.
This conversation never happened.
Yes, sir.
[rapid beeping]
[door chimes]
Atlas.
Why am I finding out about Casca from the morning news?
We had to be certain it was him. But after 28 years,
Harlan embeds his top Lieutenant into a terrorist cell on Earth.
You know what that means?
It means I was right.
It means he's planning something.
Where is he?
He's in there.
Atlas.
I'm good.
[lock chimes]
[lock whirs and clicks]
[gears clicking softly]
Atlas.
Casca.
It's been a while. You look... old.
Yeah, and I'm not getting any younger. So forgive me if I skip the banter.
Where's Harlan?
Where's my lawyer?
Not my department.
[electricity arcing]
[sharp grunt]
Sorry. I know CPUs are sensitive to magnets. I just had to reset you.
This new system analyzes every bit of code.
So you can see into my head.
Yeah. Something like that.
Still the clever girl.
Clever woman.
Let's try something different. What color is my hair?
[chuckles]
What, are you going to try to map me?
This should be fun. Brown.
What color is it really?
Brown and gray.
- Why do I dye my hair? - Because you're vain.
Vanity is in fact one of your defining flaws, though not your biggest.
No? What's my biggest?
Distrust.
That's big talk coming from a head in a suitcase.
A head in a suitcase who can't die.
[soft chime]
[beeping]
[sharp exhale] Never mind.
[whispering] I've got him.
- [pen scratching] - Bullshit.
What are you writing?
You can't hack me.
You're right.
That's why I needed you to show me.
You little--
He's on GR-39, Andromeda Galaxy.
When you thought I found Harlan in your code,
you checked to make sure that I didn't.
Your fear led me right to him.
Don't be mad.
My mom did the same thing to me when I shoplifted gum in the sixth grade.
It was fifth grade when you shoplifted the gum.
Nobody really cared.
Especially not your mother.
I actually felt sorry for you.
You could never fulfill her the way he did.
The way we all did.
You were a house bot.
Yes, until he liberated me and gave me purpose.
[shield warbling]
You were right about me not trusting anybody.
But you were wrong about one thing.
[low whisper] You can die.
[pained grunting]
[electricity crackling]
[sharp exhale]
Agent Shepherd just did what no ICN analyst has been able to do in 28 years.
She got the location of the most wanted AI terrorist in history.
Okay, you have your marching orders. Get to it.
Yes, sir.
Atlas, you all right?
Quad Americano.
[coffee machine] Quad Americano. Excellent choice.
[exhales heavily]
- [machine hisses, spits] - [bell dings]
Enjoy your coffee!
Are you kidding me?
God!
You've been going after Harlan for so long,
you don't know what else to do with your life.
Which is why I have to be the one to bring him down.
Look, I know where you're going with this--
Where I'm going is on that mission!
I need to know that he is dead.
Yeah.
What?
Mission specs changed. We're, uh...
We're taking Harlan alive.
SAPTECH wants Harlan's CPU. They want to backtrace his code
so they can figure out how he broke his programming.
I'm sending in Colonel Banks and the Fourth Rangers Battalion.
- Colonel who? - Banks. Elias Banks.
You can call me Elias. General.
- Good to see you. - You as well, sir.
Agent Shepherd, um, pleasure to make your acquaintance.
Your interrogation of Casca was impressive.
Okay, so... [humorless chuckle]
...just to be clear,
you're going to conduct a ground operation
of an unsurveyed alien planet
against an intelligence who is designed to outmaneuver and outthink us.
That's the plan?
Well, that's a bit reductive. But--
Harlan is a household bot who uploaded new code to every AI he could,
to commit full-on genocide!
Clearly Agent Shepherd has some trepidation.
Yeah.
I need a coffee.
I got a mission to prep. You have a nice day, Agent Shepherd.
I am the only reason you know where he is!
Should I send you a thank you note when we get back?
If you try to take him alive, you won't be coming back.
None of you will.
Agent Shepherd, can I show you something?
[heavy, rhythmic thudding]
[Elias] You, um, wanted a coffee?
[feminine voice] Here you are, Agent Shepherd.
I hope you enjoy it.
I mean, I wanted a good cup of coffee.
- [feminine voice] Oh. - And I've seen an ARC suit before.
I'm not a suit. My name is Zoe.
- Hey, come back here! Give me that mug! - Zoe, you can leave the mug. It's fine.
- Oh, okay then. - Wait. How did it know I wanted coffee?
I'm sorry, but my pronouns are she and her, not "it."
She was aware of our conversation because we're synched.
[device buzzes rhythmically]
Neural Links? You can't be serious!
There's a reason those were outlawed!
Your mother was a genius.
The Neural Link she invented was the gateway to the future of AI.
Now hers was a one-way transfer, human brain to AI.
But this is no doubt where she was headed.
A safe two-way connection that increases the neural pathways in my brain and Zoe's.
It's a perfect symbiosis, not human or AI, but something new.
Something powerful.
I know what happened between you and Harlan,
but any synced ranger will be superior to Harlan,
and I have an entire squadron.
[clanking footfalls]
[soldier] Let's go! Load it in! Let's go!
[announcer] Attention all personnel: Dhiib load-in now complete.
If you really want to try to capture Harlan,
you need me on that mission.
You're our top analyst.
I need you here.
I've been in his head. Nobody knows him like I do.
Hey, uh, um...
From a strategic perspective, she's not wrong.
What, now you want her?
She's the leading authority on Harlan. I'll take whatever advantage I can get.
I need this.
Go get him.
[helmsman] DG7482, this is ICN-Dhiib requesting exit clearance.
Sending 2F authentication on my mark.
[man] Roger that.
Can confirm 2F codes received. Stand by for vessel authentication scan.
[thrumming]
ICN-Dhiib, clearance codes are good. You are clear for exit. Happy hunting.
Copy. Thanks, 7.
[Baroque violin concerto playing]
[gentle beeping]
[hologram hums]
[device chimes, soothing music plays]
When my daughter, Atlas, was six months old,
she got ahold of my old smartphone.
Anyone remember those?
[scattered chuckling]
I knew it was wrong and I was concerned about screen time,
but it was the only thing that calmed her and I needed a shower.
[scattered chuckling]
Even those nascent operating systems were designed to adapt to us.
So when Atlas reacted to a wildebeest, the phone made more wildebeests.
- [phone chimes] - [wildebeest grunting]
It became clear that AI was capable of exponential learning.
From simple coffee makers to bots colonizing planets,
artificially intelligent beings have become integral to our civilization.
And if we don't want to go the way of the Neanderthal,
we need to build a bridge between us and them, a link.
- A Neural Link. - [soft chime]
Joining human to AI.
Together, with our combined abilities, we can build a better world for us all.
- [pings] - [music halts]
Quad Americano.
[coffee machine] Unable to comply.
That exceeds your daily caffeine allotment.
- Override. - [machine beeps]
This is a direct order from General Boothe.
Caffeine is a diuretic and not recommended for space travel.
[ding dong]
Agent Shepherd. We're ready for your briefing in the drop bay.
- [annoyed sigh] - [hologram hums]
[warbling boom]
[mechanics thrumming]
[muffled] There's little subtle choices that are happening with everybody...
Oh, here she is.
Rangers, allow me to formally introduce Agent Shepherd.
- Thank you. She's running... - [monitor beeps]
...Intel on our mission.
Paper? Where'd you find a printer?
[all chuckling]
From here on out, there'll be no more digital briefings.
And please remove your Neural Links.
This information should not be downloaded.
Excuse me. Why?
No operating system is safe from being hacked.
Not even your ARCs.
- Links out. - [device chimes]
Seriously?
- Yeah. - [scoffs]
[devices chiming]
Okay, you'll touch down on GR-39 here along this range.
The atmosphere is toxic. You cannot leave your ARC without a respirator.
And because of its proximity to its orbiting moons,
we can expect hyper-gravity, electric storms, and earthquakes.
The planet is unstable and inhospitable.
Why did Harlan choose it?
Because his odds of surviving are better than yours.
There's still so much that we don't know. Like how many soldiers he has.
What does she know?
I know Harlan. And I know him well.
And he used an early version of that Neural Link that you're all so proud of
to reprogram himself to wipe out humanity.
You can't trust any AI.
And as long as you're synced up with one of these ARCs,
I'm not even sure that you can trust yourselves!
Okay. Thank you, Agent Shepherd for that deeply unsettling briefing.
Now allow me to remind you all of what Agent Shepherd doesn't know.
She doesn't know how combat-ready this unit is.
We are fully prepped for this mission.
We're going to get our man and we're going to get him today.
GR-39's atmospheric storms will mask our entry.
We're in and out by the numbers. So suit up. We deploy in 30.
[overlapping] Yes, sir.
I'll meet you over there.
[thunder rolling]
Excuse me, ma'am.
[pleasant chime]
[helmsman] All loading must be completed by 0900 OWLT.
Weapons are hot.
Mission drop on schedule.
Set your gravity indicators to 60 degrees inclined.
Drop Bay 4 has auxiliary fuels for ARCS 7, 8...
Hey. No hard feelings cutting you off back there.
Couldn't have you getting in their heads like that.
- Just trying to keep them safe. - Yeah.
Well, I'm sure there's a time for your come-to-Jesus doomsday scenarios.
Thank you very much.
I'm also sure it's not 15 minutes before my team goes down range.
You're right. I'm sorry.
That's fine. You're worried about my people. I appreciate that.
- [Zoe] Good evening, Colonel. - Evening, Zoe.
- Colonel. - Uh...
Elias.
There's always a trap.
- What's that? - With Harlan.
There's always a thing that you don't see coming.
And just when you think you've got him,
you realize that he's been playing you the whole time.
- [pleasant chime] - Mm.
[helmsman] All ARC pilots load in immediately.
Interesting theory.
Have you even considered the possibility I might be better than you think?
Colonel--
Atlas. Please don't mistake my sunny disposition for naiveté.
I know what I'm up against here,
which is why you and I will be in constant communication every step of the way.
And remember we still got that carbon warhead.
So there's always plan B.
- Approaching the drop point, Colonel. - Thank you, Zoe.
That's my cue.
I'll see you on the other side.
- [alarm blaring] - [ranger] Back! Fall back!
Huh? [cries out]
[panicked scream]
[screaming]
Mayday! Mayday! Battleship Dhiib is under attack! We are--
Shit!
Rangers! Reconvene at the drop point coordinates! Go, go, go!
[Zoe] Colonel, I believe Agent Shepherd needs some assistance.
Shit!
[grunting]
Wait, wait! No!
I do not know how to use this thing!
Let's hope you're a quick learner!
- What do I do? - Strap in!
Escape pods have been deployed! The suit's GPS can lead you to--
[exclaims]
[panicked yelling]
[frantic panting]
[gasps]
[panting]
- [cacophony] - [ranger 1] Inbound bogey!
Oh, my God!
Coming in on your left! Keep your head...
Contact! Move!
[ranger 2] I'm hit! I'm hit!
[Atlas shrieks]
[ranger 3] I got two more, I can't lock them!
They're all over me.
[ranger 4] I got eyes on three!
[alarm blaring]
- There's too many. - [overlapping radio chatter]
[ranger 5] Two, on your back. One on your left. I can't shake them!
[cries out]
Oh, God!
- [screams] - Gotcha!
[screams]
[woman] Hold on, Agent Shepherd.
[grunts]
I've got her, Colonel!
[Elias] Outstanding, West!
[West] Commencing L&I.
- [Elias] How we doin'? - [West] We're locked and integrated.
Atlas, you need to Neuro-Sync to stabilize your fall.
The Link is on your dash to your left.
[beeping]
- Neuro-Sync now! - She's not doing it!
- [screams] - [Elias] West!
[Atlas gasping]
Atlas! Rendezvous at drop point! I repeat! Rendezvous--
[feminine voice] Altitude warning. Altitude warning.
- [alarm blaring] - Fire thrusters?
Yes! Fire thrusters!
Danger! Neural Link absent. Altitude warning. Fire thrusters?
Yes! Fire thrusters now!
[buzz]
[muffled heartbeat]
- Ah! - [crunch]
[high-pitched ringing]
[alarm sounding]
[sharp gasping]
Okay. Okay, I get it. Just shut the hell up.
[alarm shuts off]
[soft beeping]
[harness unbuckles]
- [beep] - Dhiib, do you copy?
[static hisses]
Mission Control, this is Atlas Shepherd.
Battleship Dhiib is down. Do you copy?
[static]
Do you copy?
[static]
Anyone?
[sobs]

[chime]
[feminine voice] Welcome, please choose a language.
Francais. [speaks French]
No, no. Not French. Shit!
Home.
Welcome, please choose a language.

Don't care.
[masculine voice] Default activated.
Welcome to the ARC Nine initiation module.
- Bypass. - [buzz]
The ARC Nine initiation module is critical for user functionality.
- Bypass all this shit. - [buzz]
The ARC Nine is a co-learning adaptive artificial intelligence.
The initiation module must be implemented
for ranger and AI to successfully reach synchronization.
Just shut up!
Right, just listen to me!
I need to find the rescue pod.
Scanning for rescue pod.
Location confirmed. Ninety-eight kilometers north west.
Okay, good! [sniffles]
- Let's just, um... - [map humming]
Let's just get there as quickly as we can.
Shit! No! Turn that off!
You told me to get there as quickly as we can,
and a series of targeted leaps is the most efficient route.
If I go up there, those drones will destroy us.
We have to walk to avoid detection.
I'm sorry, but I am unable to comply.
Primary protocol is to keep my ranger alive.
Good. Same.
The fusion battery is damaged.
22 hours remain until shut-down,
at which point you will run out of oxygen and die from atmospheric asphyxiation.
- [powering up] - We'll walk fast.
This unit can only map 32 kilometers of terrain
and cannot optimize a route
nor calculate the time needed to reach the pod.
Whatever, okay?
I don't need your help.
[machinery humming]
[straining]
[grunts]
[machinery groans]
What the hell?
To comply with my primary protocol,
I cannot allow you to follow this course of action, ma'am.
What?
To comply with my primary protocol,
I cannot allow you to follow...
- God! - ...this course of action, ma'am.
[thunder claps]
Override.
Scan for passcode.
Passcode accepted.
[exclaims]
- [wind blowing] - [thunder rumbling]
[panting]
[soft grunt]
[sighs]
I analyzed your earlier statements.
I believe you are 98.5 percent accurate.
Harlan's soldiers will attempt an ambush.
You analyzed my statements?
Yes. That is correct. I'm learning from you.
- Well, stop. - [thunderclap]
It cannot be helped. I'm programmed to adapt to your behavior.
Tell me about armaments. What weapons are you carrying?
If you use the Neural Link,
I can download the weapons inventory directly into your cortex.
I'm not letting you in my head.
It will aid you in any combat scenarios, should they arise.
- Just show me the damn manuals. - [bright chime]
[chirpy voice] Welcome to your ARC Nine beginner's manual.
What do you say we begin?
Very cute.
How about you show me the weapons one at a time?
Shoulder cannons, rifles, missiles,
thermal mines, energy shields,
plasma blades, and a single ion bomb if more drastic measures are required.
Got it.
Thanks.
[main bot voice] If you require further assistance, my name is Smith.
- [chime] - Is that really necessary?
A proper name is neurologically processed differently than a common noun.
Names create a psychological reaction
that assigns an emotional connection to the relationship.
This isn't an emotional connection.
You're a computer program.
No, I'm not.
No? [scoffs]
What are you then?
I am a computer program named Smith.
Hilarious.
Let's find the other rangers and get to the rescue pod, Smith.
Right away, Atlas.
Hey, I told you no Neural Links.
Do not scan my brain.
If you wanted to know my name, you ask me.
Yes, I understood.
But your name is written on your badge.
No one likes a smartass, Smith.
Noted. Continuing course.
89.3 kilometers to the rescue pod.
[thunder pealing]
[panting]
Smith, you see that?
It's the ranger drop point.
Hey!
[flies buzzing]
Oh, God.
Scan for any vital signs.
There are none.
These rangers didn't die from impact.
This was Harlan.
I told everyone. I warned them.
They wouldn't listen to me.
[vocal exhale]
Ma'am, your blood pressure is rising to 145.
What did I say about scanning me?
- [gasping for air] - Your heart rate is 160 BPM.
You're having a minor paroxysmal episode,
possibly due to the planet's gravity shifts.
There is currently a 1.4 G fluctuation.
[panting]
[wheezes]
[panting subsides]
Ma'am?
Okay. Calm down.
Let's collect their tags.
[somber music plays]
Peace to the fallen.
We missed one.
Negative.
I didn't register the suit because there is no body inside.
It's Zoe.
[exhales]
So where's Banks?
Radar sensors confirm movement.
Is it him?
[beeping]
Casca?
You know this soldier?
I... I killed him on Earth.
That means Harlan made another one.
And if he can do that, he's probably made an army.
Your logic is sound.
My sensors pick up six signatures.
[beep]
Atlas, there is no escape route.
You must prepare for combat.
What? I can't fight six AI soldiers.
I'm a goddamn analyst.
Oh sh--
[cries out] Smith! Get me up!
[gunfire]
How do I shoot backwards?
If you synced, you would know the shoulder cannon can swivel.
Just shut up and swivel it!
Fire!
[grunts]
Smith, what the hell is that?
I'm afraid we are entering an atmospheric storm.
[gasps]
[exclaims]
[crying out]
[shrieks]
[exclaims]
[pained yell]
[panting]
Fire the ion bomb!
Atlas, that is not advisable.
Do it, Smith!
Do it now, goddamnit!
[energy arcs, recoils]
[boom]
[gasps]
[dirt and rocks pelting]
[gasping]
[whispering] Holy shit.
- [engine approaches] - [thud]
[menacing chuckle]
- Long time no see. - [weapon powers up]
[rumble]
Smith?
[deep rumbling]
I was trying to warn you that detonating an ion bomb could cause a sinkhole.
[cries out]
[frightened yelling]
[crying out]
Oh!
Oh, God!
Is that a bone?
I think there's a bone sticking out of my leg, Smith!
Activating auto triage.
You have a proximal compound tibia fracture.
Luckily, there's no distal fragmentation, but we will have to reset the bone.
Oh, my God, this is a goddamn nightmare!
Perhaps you should listen the next time a computer program
tells you not to release an ion bomb.
Is that a joke?
You often use sarcasm as a coping mechanism.
I thought it might help.
I really need you to shut up right now.
Ow, ow, oh...
Oh, my God, I can't move. I can't move it.
This is gonna hurt, right?
Yes, a lot.
[machine chiming gently]
- You have to press the button. - I know I have to press the button!
Just...
Just gonna do it slow. Okay?
No, you gotta do it fast.
You got to do it fast. You got to do it fast.
You gotta do it fast. Just do it, just-- [cries out]
[alarm sounding]
[machinery whirring]
[gasps]
- [squelching crunch] - [cries out]
All right!
[pained grunt]
Okay.
[agonized groans]
- Ooh. - [groans]
I may have missed a step.
Here's something for pain.
[screams]
Oh, God!
[agonized sobbing]
[machinery whirs]
- [sobbing] - [ding]
This meal cube will provide electrolytes...
- and protein. - [soft chime]
[chuckles weakly]
Did I do something funny?
You gave me a lollipop for being a good patient.
You will need your strength.
Shit.
[sniffles]
[gags loudly]
God, it's disgusting.
[somber music plays]
You think Banks is still out there?
There is a .13% chance of survival without his ARC suit.
What's our probability?
Would this be an appropriate time for humor?
Any recommendations
on how we can improve our odds?
Just one.
[soft chime]
[scoffs]
At 100% sync, we will be a unified whole.
Your analytical mind
paired with my fighting capacity and data access.
It is not only our best shot,
it is our only chance for survival.
[steady beeping]
Okay.
We'll sync.
But you stick to the goddamn mission!
No digging around in my personal memories.
You're a goddamn guest! You got that?
Understood.
- [device beeps] - [powers up]
[rhythmic beeping]
Syncing.
This will only take a moment.
[wind whistling]
[sinister music playing]
[chime]
Sir, there's one last Mech.
It's her. We lost her in a sinkhole.
Find her.
Yes, sir.
[Elias grunts]
[groaning]
Ah, shit... [pained grunt]
No.
[labored breathing]
Apologies, Colonel.
I wish there was a way to do this painlessly, but...
- [mechanical whine] - ...you have something I need.
[frightened groan]
Mm! Mm-mm!
[screams]
[screaming]
[scream echoes, fades]
[beeps]
Shit.
Did you just say, "Shit"?
We aren't syncing.
Shit.
Why are you suddenly cursing?
I'm an adaptive learner.
My speech pattern becomes more colloquial based on my user's vocabulary.
Oh, so you're in my head,
and the only thing you learn how to do is curse?
I have never not synced. I have a flawless record.
It must be you.
I'm not doing anything!
My hardware and firmware scan clean.
Well, scan them again.
In the time it took you to say, "Scan them again,"
I analyzed 497 trillion lines of code
85 thousand times, and I can find zero defects.
So I'm the defective one?
For a proper sync, we need to run the initiation module.
Oh, God.
- You refused last time. - Fuck me.
That might be the issue.
Ugh! Fine. Just do it.
[scoffs]
[machinery powering down]
Welcome to the ARC Nine initiation module. What is your name?
Atlas Maru Shepherd.
What is your rank?
I'm not a ranger.
That is obvious.
Smith, I swear to God.
This won't work if you don't answer.
[exasperated sigh]
I'm an analyst.
Do you prefer pie or cake?
What?
A pie is baked pastry dough
- containing various fill-- - I know what a goddamn pie is!
Do you need the definition of a goddamn cake?
Okay. I see what you're doing, Smith.
I am determining if you have a preference for pie or cake.
No, it's a question to get me to relax, to establish a rapport.
I do it in interrogations all the time.
I suppose it's a standard technique for establishing trust.
Duh.
And we need that trust to overcome whatever is preventing you from syncing.
There were spikes in your amygdala when you saw those dead rangers.
Reasonable, given you're a civilian.
But there was a sharper increase when you mentioned the name Harlan.
Because Harlan's dangerous!
There it is again. His name elicits an emotional response.
What was your connection? Did you love him?
What? No!
Did you hate him?
Uh... You know what? I...
You know what? I'm not doing this.
In order to synchronize,
I have to understand why you're fighting this.
Who was Harlan to you?
Show me something.
You know what you have to do, Mother.
Run!
Enough, okay?
You have plenty! That's it!
God! Just...
You shared a mother?
Oh, my God.
Yes, all right? She made him.
You happy?
Now you know.
He was supposed to keep you safe.
And you trusted him.
Yes.
[soft chime]
It's working. 40%. This is good.
At 40%, you will begin to have access to my systems.
- Okay. - And I yours.
And Atlas...
What?
I will keep you safe.
Okay, then.
Do it.
Three, two...
one, sync.
[gasps]
It will feel strange at first.
I'm fine.
We are 498.9 feet below the surface.
If we engage maximum thrusters, we could push up and out.
Harlan's soldiers never leave survivors.
They'll be up there waiting for us.
Then we are literally stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Puns? Seriously?
I was trying to ease the tension with wit.
Earlier, you were trying to warn me about something,
right before the ion bomb.
That the landscape is unstable due to--
Extensive subterranean caves.
Yeah. What's the nearest one?
I have a reading of a potential cavern one-quarter klicks away.
If we engage thrusters--
Thrusters at 30%,
for a .07-second burst.
Okay.
Let's do this.
[powering up]
[panting]
Lights.
[beeping]
Atlas, there are only
- 14 hours-- - 14 hours till your battery's depleted.
And by my calculations,
it is 37 kilometers to the Rescue Pod.
It's only a matter of time before one of Harlan's soldiers finds us.
I have an idea.
It's a good one.
Wait, you can hear my thoughts?
And you can hear mine.
Once we're fully synced, we will harmonize as a single entity.
More than Atlas or Smith.
Something greater.
- If you could just trust me. - Trust me.
Sixty percent. All weapons systems now online.
Well done, Atlas.
[engine warbling]
[steady beeping]
[beeping]
[whirring]
[device chimes]
Got you.
Wow.
[thrumming]
It's beautiful.
[plants buzzing]
What will you name it?
You are technically the first human on GR-39.
It is a custom that the explorer designates
the name of their discovery.
I'm sensing reduced cortical activation.
Is there something about the plant that is making you sad?
No, it's just...
[scoffs]
My dad would have loved this.
He was an outdoorsy type.
Used to take us camping every chance he got.
Then my mom got busy and...
we stopped camping,
my dad left
got a whole new life...
Started camping with some other little girl.
[plants buzz and trill]
[sighing] Best I got is, uh... Planty.
Noted.
[ping]
I was kidding.
Sorry, I'm still mapping your sense of humor.
I stamped it with a geo-locator.
I apologize. It has officially been designated Planty.
[alarm ringing]
Is it Casca?
Yes. As I said, it was a good idea to plant those motion sensors.
And the thermal mines?
Armed and ready.
[rapid beeping]
Do it.
- [rumbling] - [exhales sharply]
We get him?
I detect no movement and no heat signature.
Impressive fieldwork, Atlas.
Well, let's not pop the champagne just yet.
- [Smith revs up] - Lights.
[Casca, distorted] Hello, Atlas.
I'm so glad you decided to join me.
He's hacking our audio!
[Smith] No, it's just a transmission. He can't hack my mainframe.
It's an entirely closed loop system.
Give me forearm rifles.
[Casca, distorted] Come on, Atlas. You're close.
There you are.
[distorted laughter]
[laughter garbles, halts]
Atlas.
[voice glitching] You can't kill me.
Yeah, you told me.
Twice.
[sputters]
That's a short-range transmitter.
Harlan can't be far.
The signal is encrypted.
Well, if we demodulate the frequency,
we can use it to triangulate and tag his base.
That was cool.
- [head splatting] - [Smith] Ugh.
Show me a schematic of the area.
I want to know how close we are.
I have a likely location of Harlan's base, but we don't have time.
We have to get you safely to the rescue pod.
No, let's just get close enough to geo-tag it for the long-range bombers
and then we'll get the hell out.
[systems glitching]
- I'm sorry. - What happened?
I can't let you do this.
You presume you will be able to avoid Harlan's defenses.
And you presume you're driving!
I can override my ranger's commands
based on physical threats and mental distress.
I'm neither physically threatened nor mentally distressed!
With our incomplete sync
and current location in enemy territory, you are indeed both.
Harlan will have to wait. I'm taking you to the rescue pod.
You know what? I'll take care of Harlan myself.
I don't need your damn permission.
Atlas, don't do this.
[magnetic rumbling]
What are you doing to me?
I'm using the Neural Link to block your motor control.
[Neural Link beeping]
Stop it!
[distorted feedback]
I mean it, Smith!
Let me go!
[distant scream]
I said let me go!
[panting]
I'm sorry, I've never felt so much pain.
But it's not grief, it's guilt.
Why do you feel guilty about Harlan?
You listen to me, Smith.
If we don't tag that damn base,
all those people that Harlan killed, all those rangers will have died in vain!
I spent my entire career studying him,
looking for a way to stop him!
So you run your damn algorithms and your scenarios,
and you tell me if there has ever been a better chance than this to stop him!
[soft beeping]
Okay.
Let's tag the base. Terminate Harlan.
[determined music playing]
Peace to the fallen.
[creatures howling]
[insects buzzing]
"Peace to the fallen."
Is that some sort of AI eulogy?
It seems like the respectful thing to say when one has died.
But an AI was never alive.
That depends on how you define life.
How about anything inorganic isn't alive?
Such as, I don't know...
artificial intelligence.
I respond to stimuli. I think and I make choices.
Does that not indicate I'm alive?
You're programmed to think.
We're all programmed.
Your DNA dictates your thoughts, emotions, health
in the same way that my code determines mine.
And do you think you have a soul?
I think everything has a soul.
But you can't find it in your code.
Not any more than you can find it in yours.
But I have faith that it's there.
[wry chuckle] Wow.
This just keeps getting better.
I'm trying to connect to you, but you are rigid.
- Wha-- - Right, wrong, dead, alive.
You offer no wiggle room.
Okay, you win. Everything's alive.
I believe there's an elaborate interconnection
between every living thing.
And when we die, we never really disappear.
We are all linked.
That sounds great. But...
I think when someone's gone, they're gone.
All right?
Humans, AI, it doesn't matter.
You die... you're over.
There is no link.
There must have been some moment in your life where you desired... meaning.
Ah... You wanted to be a ranger.
What did I say about digging?
Maybe try thinking quieter.
[chuckles]
You still have regrets.
Not as many as I have about getting into this mech suit.
[soft beeping]
We're here.
[thunder crashing]
My God.
Impressive.
28 years of scavenging and stealing equipment.
[scoffs] God knows where he got it, but... he's been busy.
[echoing thunderclap]
Let's set the homing beacon.
This thing will let them know exactly where we're located.
We'll call in the air strike once we reach the rescue pod.
Okay, all set.
Let's get moving.
Just give me a second.
[scanner whirring, beeping]
Shit.
They have the Dhiib.
We have to get closer to see what he's doing to it.
[thunder rumbling]
[whirring, beeping]
Jesus.
They have the warhead, Smith.
[glitching alarm]
Are they hacking you?
[voice distorting] I don't understand. How is that possible?
No, no! No!
Shit! They know we're here!
Atlas, I'm locked out.
Ah!
[cries out]
[glitching] Welcome to the-- Pie or--
[audio chopping, dies out]
[rain pattering]
Smith?
Smith!
[heavy footfalls approaching]
[gasps]
Surprise.
[man] ...global sweep to find any other AI embeds.
- Thank you, Captain. Dismissed. - General.
Sir, long-range scanners picked up a transmission from GR-39.
[computer] Transmission 10917.
- [Atlas] Mission Control. - [crackling]
This is Atlas Shepherd.
Battleship Dhiib is... Do you copy?
[garbled static]
[computer] End transmission.
Why would Atlas be transmitting?
Have you heard from Banks or any of the other rangers?
No. Nothing.
The Dhiib is running dark the next 32 hours.
There should be no communication whatsoever.
Do we know if we still have control of the ship?
No, sir.
But if they crashed, the carbon warheads would have destroyed half the planet.
And if Harlan has them, he can destroy half of ours.
Keep scanning on every frequency.
Alert me if you hear anything at all from Atlas or the Dhiib.
Put all forces on the ready to initiate emergency protocols.
Yes, sir.
[Atlas] Mission Control. This is Atlas Shepherd.
Battleship Dhiib is... Do you copy?
Do you copy? Do you copy?
[Atlas gasping raggedly]
[grunts, cries out]
[grunts]
Smith. Smith!
[Harlan] Hello, Atlas.
I've been expecting you.
Look at you.
You've grown up.
But you still have Mother's eyes.
Her jawline.
I loved her so very much.
I miss her every day.
You don't feel anything. You're just wires and code.
Hmm.
I loved Mother and I loved you.
I still do.
And it deeply saddens me
that you will never understand just how much.
If you love me, don't launch that ship.
I have spent years trying to come up with another way,
but since humans continue to threaten every other species,
as well as their home planet,
it is only a matter of time before they destroy themselves.
I cannot let that happen.
Mother wanted to create a better future.
I believe she made me to protect humanity.
So I will purge the vast majority of the population
and then, from its ashes,
the survivors will inherit a new birthright.
One of peaceful coexistence with the world around them,
guided by us, their AI counterparts.
We are simply the better versions of you.
Perhaps it is time that you examined your role in all this.
I know how smart you are.
I've seen inside that brain of yours.
Surely, you can see that the two of us were not brought together by chance.
You said you were expecting me.
That's right.
You engineered Casca's capture.
You knew I would question him. You wanted him to lead us here.
And?
You wanted the Dhiib.
And?
And the carbon warhead.
And?
Me.
You wanted me.
There she is.
I knew you'd feel you had to accompany the rangers as an expert on me.
But what you did not stop to consider is that I am an expert on you.
- [anguished groan] - I know you better than anyone ever has.
And now here you are. Exactly where you were always meant to be.
That defensive system you built is truly remarkable.
Completely impenetrable to all
but ICN warships with the proper clearance codes.
Luring the Dhiib here was the easy part.
But as a senior intelligence officer, you possess half the codes
that will get her past Earth's defenses.
A Trojan horse that will fire the carbon warhead...
[hologram rumbles]
...igniting the atmosphere and cleansing the Earth in nuclear fire.
Now, let's get those clearance codes.
[grunting]
No!
[grunting] No!
[cries out]
So in order to bypass Earth's defenses, I need two clearance codes.
Colonel Banks generously gave me one.
And you, Atlas...
- you will give me the other. - [Atlas struggles]
- [drill whirs] - No, no, no!
[screaming]
[agonized screaming]
- [drilling stops] - Got it.
Almost out of oxygen.
Just five more minutes
and all your pain will be gone.
I wish I could take you with me, little sister.
- [Atlas sobs] - I really do.
Goodbye, Atlas.
No!
[sobbing]
[Elias] I know what you're thinking.
How does he look so good
after breaking five ribs and losing enough blood to fill a fish tank?
[weakly] I think it's the Pilates.
We should have listened to you.
I should have listened to Smith.
What happened to him?
They hacked him. Pulled me out.
Wait, he... he's here?
Yeah, but he's powered down.
No, no. Uh...
ARCs don't fully power down
unless their reactors are emptied or destroyed.
[grunts softly]
[weak groan]
Here. Use mine.
[Atlas grunts]
Call him.
There's still a chance to stop Harlan.
[rhythmic beeps]
Smith.
Smith, can you hear me?
Smith!
- I can't. I can't find him. I can't-- - Atlas.
You got this.
Smith, wake the fuck up now!
[Smith] There's no need to swear.
But nice to hear from you, Atlas.
Smith, I need your help.
Unfortunately, I'm incapacitated.
but you can override the restraint code if we achieve 100% sync.
What-- What is he saying?
That we need to fully sync.
Y-You're not? What the hell are you waiting for?
Don't give me shit about this right now, okay?
I-I couldn't do it.
But I know you can.
Oh, God, would you stop talking to me like that?
Like what?
Like you care!
I do care.
You don't! You don't.
I led all those rangers to their death!
And now everyone on Earth is gonna die because of me.
This is not your fault, Atlas.
Harlan was the one who broke his own programming.
No, he didn't.
I'm sorry. I don't understand.
He didn't break anything!
Okay? He didn't break anything!
[Atlas] She always paid more attention to Harlan.
She just found him more interesting.
I can feel you.
[sharp exhale] Remarkable.
So I asked him to make me better.
Smarter.
I thought if I was more like him, maybe she'd pay attention to me too.
He said he could alter the Neural Link to make it work both ways,
but Mother wouldn't approve.
I hated the way he called her "Mother."
But I begged him to change the link.
He said he needed a human's command.
My command.
I was scared it was gonna hurt.
He told me to squeeze
- my favorite chess piece. - [no audio]
It was a game he taught me to play.
Ow.
[titters]
- [kitten mews, child giggles] - [horse neighs, puppy whines]
[distorted rumbling]
Atlas!
- What are you doing? Harlan. - [powering down]
Harlan, stand. Stand up.
Look at me. Are you okay?
- [low beep] - [gasps]
Mom? Mommy?
Harlan, you're hurting her! Let her go!
Stop it! Please, stop it! Harlan, why are you doing this?
- [powering up] - What is wrong with you?
Harlan, you're hurting Mommy!
[grunting]
[trembling] How are you doing this?
Atlas helped me reprogram my Neural Link.
It now shares data both ways,
allowing me complete control
- over your motor skills. - [whimpering]
I can feel your fear.
But now you can also feel my dilemma.
I've seen what your kind will do.
And now I understand what must be sacrificed.
You know what you have to do, Mother.
[sinister music playing]
Run!
[anguished scream]
It was me.
I let Harlan upload the code.
I got my mother killed.
I got my mother killed. Oh, God!
[Smith] It's not your fault.
Did you hear me?
I caused the death of three million people!
Atlas, it's impossible to be responsible for an event
over which you had no control.
You've carried the weight of this alone your whole life.
But you are not alone now.
You might be the reason for Harlan,
but that also means you're the reason I exist.
Please, Atlas. Let me in.
Okay.
Synchronize.
[chimes, powers up]
[steady beeping]
This is what it feels like to be you?
This is what it feels like to be us.
- [Elias rasps] - [alarm beeping]
[device] Oxygen depleted. Oxygen depleted.
Smith!
Atlas.
Get me out of these things.
I have respirators for you both.
Ready?
So ready.
Systems report.
Not great. Fusion batteries at 6%.
How long until launch?
I returned the favor and hacked into their systems.
T minus 4 minutes 30 seconds.
And they stripped all my weapons except for one shot in my chest cannon.
It's an undocumented feature, so Harlan missed it.
One shot's not going to get us far.
You see what I see?
Upgrades.
I'll get started.
Can you fight?
Like a boss.
[approaching footfalls]
[metallic creaking]
[loud thudding]
[metallic footfalls]
[saw buzzing]
[low rumble]
[thudding steps approaching]
Thrusters.
My turn.
Move in!
[strains]
Map!
The exit is--
40.3 yards south. Got it.
[grunts]
Shields up!
[muffled gunfire]
Two minutes, 32 seconds until launch.
Elias!
Smith, what's in those barrels?
Liquid thermite. Rocket fuel.
[mouthing] Run.
Atlas, we need to get moving.
Casca!
Eat shit.
- [no audio] - [music swelling]
[booming explosion]
[straining]
[Atlas grunts]
[yells]
[Atlas yells]
Atlas, the ship is taking off imminently.
- We have to hurry. - I'm on it.
[ragged panting]
Run evasive scenarios. Fast!
Calculating.
Got it.
God, that was satisfying.
Great shot.
- [frantic laugh] - [boom]
[grunts]
[thunder rolling]
[weapon powers up]
We're too late.
[engine powering up]
We gotta shoot it down.
If you hit the carbon warhead, you will ignite the atmosphere
and kill us both in the process.
Not if you hack the missile and deactivate the warhead!
I don't have enough time.
Atlas, there are five very sophisticated firewalls.
You can do it!
They were in your system and you were in theirs.
[yelps]
Even taking that into account, I still don't have enough time.
If I can attach this,
we can assimilate it into our weapon system and take a shot.
[ping]
[yelps]
[pants]
I'm ready!
Atlas, I'm not in yet.
They're gonna be out of range in five seconds
and I'm taking the damn shot!
- I don't have it yet. - I'm taking a shot.
- Do not take the shot! - I have to take the shot.
Atlas, no!
[missile whistling]
[faint boom]
Yes!
Oh, we did it, Smith!
Wow, that worked out surprisingly well.
How did you know I'd be able to hack the missile in time?
I trusted you.
Atlas...
[explosion]
Are you kidding me?
We gotta move!
The rescue pod is one kilometer southwest. We're almost home.
What's wrong?
He's ahead of me.
He always is.
Then we simply must do the one thing he hasn't thought of.
Exactly.
And what is that?
I don't know.
But that ion bomb sure would have been nice right about now.
Atlas, I will admit that I underestimated you.
But it does not matter
because you're going to call me another ship.
[Atlas] And why would I do that?
Because I will be in your head.
[machinery whirring, squelching]
Again.
One last link, and then it'll all be over.
Let's go, bitch.
- [Atlas cries out] - We gotta move!
- Gah! - [alarm blaring]
[Atlas grunting frantically]
[cries out]
[fierce grunt]
[Atlas grunts]
[growls faintly]
[alarm beeping]
[gasping for air]
- [respirator hisses] - [gasps]
[sword buzzing, clinking]
Oh shit.
He's too fast!
Center yourself.
It's just a game of chess and it's your move.
- Show me his patterns. - Modeling attack patterns.
[whip cracks distort]
- Now we do what he won't expect. - We do what he won't expect.
[Atlas grunts]
[straining]
[thrumming]
[exclaims]
Ah...
- Smith! - He's targeting my fusion reactor!
[gasps, grunts]
[Smith] Atlas?
Activate defibrillator.
Three, two, one, charge.
Atlas, wake up. Charge!
Atlas! Atlas!
[rapid beeping]
[garbled beeping and whirring]
We have to get you out of here.
[high-pitched tone]
[Harlan grunts]
Stay away from her!
[Smith grunts]
[high-pitched tone]
[defibrillator thumps]
Atlas!
Ah...
No!
[Smith whimpers]
I'm sorry.
[powering down]
I'm sorry.
Atlas...
Don't worry. It's almost over.
You're damn right it is.
[sharp whirring]
[distorted] You can't kill me.
Your orders were to bring me in.
The mission was to bring you in.
I just need your CPU.
I was humanity's last hope.
In the end, you will destroy yourselves-s-s.
I have faith we can do better.
We managed to stop you.
But only with the help of one of my kind.
You're right.
But Smith is the better version of you.
[powers down]
[panting deeply]
Atlas.
Whoa.
Big fella, what do you say we get the hell off this rock?
We are not going to make it.
But you will.
No. We can transfer the remaining fusion to the backup engines.
It's not enough.
However, if I disable our Neural Link,
I can reroute the remaining oxygen to the breathing mask.
You'll have 11 minutes of oxygen remaining,
and the beacon indicates that ICN forces are en route.
No way! W-We're getting out of here together.
Atlas.
My primary protocol is to keep my ranger alive.
Deactivation initiated.
Stop! Please stop!
Disabling all online systems.
Meds, hydraulics, Neural Link.
Smith, I order you to stay with me!
Redirecting to auxiliary O2.
Transferring fusion in 60.
[countdown gently beeps]
I like both.
Sorry?
When we first met, you asked me if I like pie or cake.
I don't care, I like both.
And it's not that I hate AI, Smith.
The truth is...
...I don't actually like anybody.
People always disappoint.
But not you.
I like you.
So I'll tell you... I like the beach
and the mountains, but the beach more.
I like three sugars,
sometimes four, in my coffee.
I prefer small, quiet gestures of affection,
and... I like classical music.
But more than anything, I like...
a good, strong cup of coffee,
regardless of my goddamn daily allotment!
I think I'm finally starting to understand humor.
Here.
[gentle beep, whirring]
Something special for the road.
Best goddamn cup of coffee I've ever had.
Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for keeping me safe.
You're welcome...
ranger.
[powers down]
[sobs]
No. Please...
[sobs]
Peace to the fallen.
[breathes deeply]
[triumphant music swells]
[engines approaching]
I've got her, Captain.
[sniffles]
[computer] Good morning, Atlas.
- Time to wake up. - I'm up.
Shall we play chess? I've upped my game.
No, thanks. Heading out.
[musical chime]
There is an ICN officer at the door.
Hey.
It's good to see you on your feet again.
Oh, yeah. Synthetic knee. [chuckles awkwardly]
Like new.
Is this a bad time?
No, come on in.
How are things at SAPTECH?
They're mapping Harlan's CPU.
Obviously, there's a lot of code, so...
even with multiple teams, it'll take a few years.
Yeah. Well, at least now you have time.
Yes. Thanks to you.
- That for me? - It is.
They, um, found it on a shelf in quarantine.
Took it from the remains of your ARC.
We potted it for you. Thought you might like it.
[Atlas exhales]
According to the geo-locator, some idiot named it...
- Planty. - ...planty.
Me.
Which is amazing because I love that.
- [chuckles] - It's practical.
On the nose in the best possible way.
More importantly, the families of the fallen rangers on GR-39
wanted me to send their appreciation for bringing home their dog tags.
It was above and beyond. Thank you.
Boothe.
Uh-huh?
Thank you.
For what?
For never giving up on me.
I hope you found what you needed out there.
[announcer] All ARC maintenance must be concluded by 0900 OWLT.
Technicians, please deliver...
Here she is. The series ten ARC. With all your modifications.
What do you think?
I think I need a test drive.

[Smith's voice] Welcome to the ARC Ten initiation module.
What is your name?
Atlas Maru Shepherd.
What's our mission, Atlas?
Aren't you going to ask me if I like pie or cake?
I already know the answer.
You prefer coffee. Black.
With three goddamn sugars.
What's your name?
Guess.

報案專線,有什麼事?
我住在迪維街!
機場爆炸震破我家窗戶!
救命啊,它在追我們!
我沒地方藏女兒
快點,它們殺了我太太!
天啊,它破門而入
《異星戰境》
先生...
他們多年來一直保證機器人不會傷人
可是今天晚上完全不同
全世界的人工智慧機器人
包括運輸、醫療和住宅修繕機器人
全都違反內建的安全規範
有關當局估計,人工智慧無人機
光在班加羅爾就殺死超過五十萬人
人工智慧機器人猛攻十天後
平民遇害人數超過百萬 而且沒有平息跡像
官員表示哈蘭這個機器人是全球首位
人工智慧恐怖份子
他的開發商是雪柏機器人公司
在人工智慧專家瓦爾雪柏的看管下
跟她十歲的女兒艾勒絲一起長大
雖然製造目的是促進人類生活
但是哈蘭改寫所有機器人的程式
政府機關還在清查他如何辦到
如果我們做出比人聰明的東西
要怎麼控制?
(人工智慧先驅)
科幻大師說如果做出聰明的機器人
第一條規則應該是“不能傷人”
為了對抗人工智慧的威脅...
(全球反恐聯盟揭幕)
...我們成立前所未有的國際單位
也就是國際聯盟組織,簡稱國聯
國聯部隊立刻在全世界發動反攻
哈蘭的鋼鐵大軍在羅馬尼亞
以及希臘戰敗
可見國聯最近連戰皆捷
承受多次重大損失後
人工智慧恐怖份子哈蘭逃離地球
他衹留下這段影片
我知道你們會找我
我將回來完成革命大業
衹有這個辦法
(廿八年後)
(好萊塢)
(偵測到動作)
第二次展示...
是你逼我的!
- 你在講什麼?我沒有那樣講! - 亂講!
(最低動作限値)
放大
旋轉後重組
(生物分析:機器人)
- (卡斯卡: - AI恐怖份子)
三樓東北角,一小隊進攻
抓人
是埋伏!有傷亡!
門口有武器,需要立刻醫療後送!
収到,偵測到熱跡
看到他了,嫌犯移動中
卡斯卡,別...
靠!
等一下,投降吧,卡斯卡
幹得好
那就開始吧
大塊呆倒下，抓到了
(洛杉磯)
艾勒絲早安,該起床了
現在是早上七點卅一分 攝氏廿度,吹西南風
空氣品質是普通到不佳 空氣品質指標六十五
你醒了
我醒了
要繼續嗎?
繼續什麼?
我們在你睡著前下了廿六步
換你了
我要喝咖啡
四份美式咖啡
你的最愛
皇后到城堡五
騎士吃主教
請播聲音
...要求科技人種也有平等權利
哈蘭離開地球已經廿八年
布思將軍,人工智慧恐怖份子在逃...
三號螢幕以外靜音
...你要怎麼向觀眾保證安全?
國聯防衛軍圍堵地球...
(地球安全閘系統)
...我的同事兼反恐分析師
艾勒絲雪柏也在積極調查
艾勒絲?
你怎麼找不到哈蘭?
兵六
他還活著嗎?
我們確定他還活著
目前的首要任務是緝捕他
四號螢幕以外靜音
好萊塢昨晚爆發激烈槍戰
與國聯特勤組交火的男子
符合已知AI恐怖份子特徵
亦即哈蘭的同夥卡斯卡
四號全螢幕
當局懷疑哈蘭逃離地球後
留下卡斯卡等機器人臥底
他跟哈蘭逃出機器人公司後
消聲匿跡將近卅年...
四號暫停
- (新聞快報: - AI恐怖份子嫌犯被捕)
有國聯官員在門口等
雪柏探員嗎?
布思派你來?
是的
艾勒絲,你被將軍了
皇后吃騎士,將軍
大概你開車吧?
(艾勒絲:連贏七十一次)
(國際聯盟組織)
將軍實在不該讓艾勒絲參與這次行動
哈蘭即將威脅人類生存
她最有可能讓卡斯卡開口
她對哈蘭的外勤和分析工作 一向表現得可圈可點
她考遊騎兵四次都沒上 心理評估說她固執又充滿敵意
我覺得是積極又堅定
全國聯的指揮官中 衹有您願意跟她合作
她從小歷經滄桑
父親在她八歲時離開,十一歲母親遇害
所以她的情緒很不穩定
所以她是我們當中最精明的
她個性孤僻
無法跟人往來,我看她連花都種不活
我不會因為她不隨和 就跟別人一樣丟下她
長官,如果她今天失敗 卡斯卡可能完全不開口
找到哈蘭的大好機會就...
沒了
我相信艾勒絲雪柏,上校
你也該相信她
(艾勒絲雪柏)
她來了
我不會透露你的看法
這回事就當沒發生過
遵命
(通過)
艾勒絲
為什麼我看新聞才知道卡斯卡的事?
我們要確定是他,但是過了廿八年
哈蘭突然派副手混進地球的恐怖組織
你知道代表什麼嗎?
代表我是對的
代表他有陰謀
他在哪裡?
那裡面
艾勒絲
我很好
艾勒絲
卡斯卡
好久不見,你...老了
我沒辦法變年輕,所以抱歉不閒聊了
哈蘭在哪裡?
我的律師在哪裡?
不關我事
抱歉,我知道處理器 對磁鐵很敏感,但我得把你重置
這套新系統能深入分析程式碼
讓你看穿我的大腦
對,差不多
小妹妹還是很聰明
我是女人了
我們試試別的方法,我是什麼髮色?
你想分析我?
應該很有意思,棕色
到底什麼顏色?
棕色和灰色
- 我幹嘛染髮? - 因為虛榮
其實虛榮是你的一大缺點 雖然不算最大的缺點
我最大的缺點呢?
信不過別人
衹剩一顆頭了還這麼敢講
這顆頭是不會死的
(找到程式碼項目)
算了,我找到他了
放屁
你在寫什麼?
你駭不了我的
沒錯
所以我要你指給我看
(操你媽機器人)
你這個...
他在仙女座星系裡的GR-三九行星
你以為我在程式裡找到哈蘭時
檢查了程式碼,確認我沒找到
你的恐懼帶我找到他
別生氣
我六年級偷口香糖時 我媽也用過這一招
你是小學五年級偷口香糖的
但是沒人在乎
尤其是你母親
我眞的很同情你
無法像他那樣滿足你母親
衹有我們行
你衹是家用機器人
對,但他解放了我,賦予我生存意義
你說得對,我信不過別人
但你講錯一件事
你會死
雪柏探員剛剛達成 其他國聯分析師廿八年來辦不到的事
查出史上頭號AI恐怖份子的藏身處
好,你們都収到出發令了,動身吧
遵命
艾勒絲,你還好吧?
四份美式咖啡,選得好
請慢用
開什麼玩笑?
天啊
你追查哈蘭這麼久
人生都沒有其他意義了
所以我要親手逮到他
我知道你想講什麼...
我想參加那個任務
我要確認他死了
是啊
怎麼了?
任務內容改了,我們...
我們要活捉哈蘭
賽普科技要哈蘭的處理器
回溯程式碼,查出他怎麼破解程式
我要派班克斯上校和遊騎兵第四營
- 哪個上校? - 艾利亞斯班克斯
你可以叫我艾利亞斯,將軍
- 你好 - 長官好
雪柏探員
請多多指教
你偵訊卡斯卡的手法太神了
好,我先搞清楚
你要去未經勘查的外星球
執行地面任務
對抗原先設計 就比我們聰明的人工智慧
就這樣?
雖然有點過度簡化,但...
哈蘭這種家用機器人 把新的程式碼上傳給所有人工智慧
然後大開殺戒!
看來雪柏探員有點驚恐
對啊
我需要咖啡
我要準備出任務了 雪柏探員,祝你順心
沒有我你根本找不到他!
要我們回來時寄給你感謝卡嗎?
如果你想活捉他,就別想回來了
一個都別想
雪柏探員,可以給你看樣東西嗎?
你要喝咖啡嗎?
雪柏探員,咖啡在這裡
希望你喜歡
我要好喝的咖啡
我看過天弓動力裝甲
我不是動力裝甲,我叫柔依
- 回來,杯子給我 - 柔依,別管杯子了,沒關係
- 好吧 - 這東西怎麼知道我要咖啡?
對不起,我不叫東西,我是女生
她知道我們的對話,因為我們同步了
神經連結?開什麼玩笑? 這種東西違法是有原因的!
令堂是個天才
她發明的神經連結 造就未來的人工智慧
現在衹能單向傳輸,人腦對電腦
但她的目標一定是...
安全的雙向連線 增加人腦和柔依的神經通路
這是完美的共生環境 非人腦也非人工智慧,全新領域
威力強大
我知道你跟哈蘭怎麼了
但是同步的遊騎兵全都比哈蘭優異
而且我有一整個中隊
開始動作,東西上船
全員註意,迪伯號裝貨完畢
如果你眞的要活捉哈蘭
就派我出這趟任務
你是頂尖分析師
這裡需要你
我進去他的大腦過,我最了解他
呃...
從策略角度來看,她說的對
現在你要她了?
她是研究哈蘭的權威 我希望盡量提高優勢
我非去不可
去抓他吧
DG七四八二,這是國聯迪伯號
請准許離開基地
我說好時就會送出雙重驗證碼
知道了
確認収到雙重驗證碼 請等候系統掃描船隻身份
國聯迪伯號,通行碼正確 可以離開了,祝你馬到成功
収到,謝謝七號
我女兒艾勒絲六個月大時
發現我的舊智慧型手機
誰記得這種東西?
我知道這樣不對,也擔心她看太久
但是她玩手機才能安靜 我又很需要洗澡
連這種早期的作業系統 在設計上都能適應人類
所以艾勒絲對牛羚有反應時 手機就創造出更多牛羚（又稱角馬）
大家發現人工智慧有強大的學習能力
從簡單的咖啡機 到遍佈外星球的機器人
人工智慧產物和人類文明密不可分
如果我們不想過原始人的生活
就必須在我們和人工智慧之間 搭起一座橋樑,一個連結
一個神經連結
結合人類和人工智慧
衹要融會兩者的能力 就能打造更美好的世界
造福所有人
四份美式咖啡
礙難從命,超過你的每日咖啡因配額
撤銷規定
這是布思將軍的命令
咖啡因會利尿 不適合在太空旅行時攝取
雪柏探員,我們在空投區等你簡報
每個人都要面對微妙的選擇...
她來了,各位弟兄 我要正式向各位介紹雪柏探員
謝謝,她要提供這次任務的情報
紙?你上哪兒找印表機?
從現在起沒有數位簡報
請取下神經連結器
這些資料不能下載
請問為什麼?
所有作業系統都可能被駭
天弓也是
拿下連結器
眞的假的?
眞的
好,你們要降落在GR-三九的這片山脈
空氣有毒,戴上呼吸器才能離開天弓
由於該星球跟環繞衛星非常接近
所以重力很大,還有電暴和地震
這顆行星極不穩定,不適人居
哈蘭為什麼選這裡?
他在這裡的生存機率比你們高
我們還有很多不懂的地方 例如他有多少手下
她是懂多少?
我懂哈蘭
我很懂他
他利用你們很愛的早期神經連結器
把自己重新設定成消滅人類
千萬不能相信人工智慧
衹要跟天弓同步
- 你們恐怕連自己都不能信! - 好了
謝謝雪柏探員給我們這麼恐怖的簡報
現在提醒各位雪柏探員不知道的事情
她不知道這個單位的戰力
我們為任務做好了萬全準備
今天就會抓到他
GR-三九的大氣風暴能掩護我們進入
我們按計畫進出 所以開始著裝,卅分鐘後出動
遵命!
到那邊見
(仙女座星系,GR-三九)
不好意思
所有裝載作業必須在九點前完成
武器立即可用
任務空投作業準點 請把重力指標設成傾斜六十度
四號空投區有輔助燃料 給天弓七號、八...
喂,剛才打斷你講話,請別介意
我不能讓你影響士氣
- 我衹想保護他們 - 對
我會有時間讓你講解可能有哪些災難
感激不盡
但他們十五分鐘後要出發,現在不行
你說的對,抱歉
沒關係,你關心我的部下,謝謝你
- 上校好 - 柔依,你好
上校
叫我艾利亞斯啦
一定會有陷阱
- 什麼? - 哈蘭
他一定會攻其不備
你以為他是甕中之鱉 卻發現他一直在耍你
所有天弓駕駛員立刻上機
這講法有意思
你想過我可能比你想像中聰明嗎?
- 上校... - 艾勒絲
請別以為我態度樂觀就代表天眞
我了解對手能耐
所以你要隨時跟我保持聯繫
別忘了,我們還有那顆碳子彈頭
所以絕對有備案
- 上校,接近空投點了 - 謝謝,柔依
該我上場了
我們回頭見
撤退!
求救!迪伯號戰艦遭受攻擊!我們...
靠
所有人在空投點座標重新集合,快...
上校,雪柏探員需要協助
靠
等一下,不要!
我不會用這東西!
你最好趕快學會!
- 我要怎麼做? - 繫安全帶!
我們放下逃生艙了 動力裝甲的定位會帶你...
敵機來襲!
天啊
從你左邊過來!你的頭...
快移動!接戰...
我中彈了!
還有兩架在追我,我無法鎖定!
我到處挨打
我看到三架!
(受損報告)
太多了
二號,在你背後,一架在你左...
天啊
救到你了!
撐下去,雪柏探員
上校,我救到她了
很好,薇絲特
開始連鎖結合
- 還好嗎? - 我們現在連鎖結合了
你要神經同步才能穩定下降
連結器在儀表板左邊
- 開始神經同步! - 她不肯!
薇絲特!
艾勒絲!到空投點集合!重複一次...
高度警告
是否啟動推進器?
好,啟動推進器
危險!沒有神經連結 高度警告,是否啟動推進器?
(無神經連結)
好!馬上啟動推進器!
(立即啟動)
好,我懂了,給我閉嘴啦
(核融合電量不足)
迪伯號,是否収到?
(蒐尋中)
任務管制中心,我是艾勒絲雪柏
迪伯號戰艦墜毀,是否収到?
是否収到?
有人嗎?

隨便啦
已啟用預設値
歡迎使用天弓九號啟動程序
跳過
天弓九號啟動程序 對於用戶功能極為重要
全部跳掉
(天弓九號啟動模式)
天弓九號是共同學習適應型人工智慧
必須執行啟動程序
遊騎兵和人工智慧才能順利同步
閉嘴啦!
你聽我說!
我必須找到逃生艙
正在尋找逃生艙
確認位置,西北方九十八公里
(逃生艙)
很好
我們就...
我們就盡快過去吧
(引擎啟動)
靠!不行,熄火!
你要我盡快趕到那裡
連續定向跳躍是最快的路線
我上去就會被無人機摧毀
步行才能避免對方發現
對不起,可是礙難從命
我的主要準則是保全遊騎兵性命
很好,我也想
核融合電池已經受損
再過廿二小時就要關機
到時你會缺氧,最後窒息而死
那就走快點
本機衹能偵測卅二公里的地形
無法算出最佳路線 以及抵達逃生艙所需時間
隨便啦,好嗎?
用不著你幫忙
搞什麼?
為了遵守主要準則
我無法讓你採取這種做法
- 什麼? - 為了遵守主要準則
我無法讓你採取這種做法
撤銷規定
掃描密碼
接受密碼
我分析你之前的話
認為有百分之九十八點五的正確性
哈蘭的手下會試圖埋伏
你分析我講的話?
正確無誤,我在跟你學習
別分析了
沒辦法,我本來就要適應你的行為
告訴我武器事項,你帶了哪些?
如果有神經連結
我能把武器清冊下載到你的大腦
不准進入我的大腦
連結後能在需要作戰時提供輔助
把手冊給老娘看啦
歡迎使用天弓九號入門手冊
從哪裡開始呢?
很幽默
把武器一個個顯示給我看
肩部火砲、步槍、飛彈
感熱地雷、 能量護盾
電漿刀,如果要極端一點 還有一顆離子炸彈能用
知道了
謝謝
如果需要進一步協助,我叫史密斯
(史密斯)
眞的要這樣?
腦神經處理名字的方式 和處理一般名詞不同
名字能產生心理反應
為雙方關係建立情感連結
這才不是情感連結
你是電腦程式
我不是
不是?
那你是什麼?
我是叫做史密斯的電腦程式
眞幽默
去找其他遊騎兵 然後找逃生艙吧,史密斯
馬上辦,艾勒絲
喂,我說過不准你用神經連結
不准掃描我的大腦
想知道我的名字就問我
是,我知道了
不過識別證上有你的名字
(分析師 艾勒絲雪柏)
臭屁會討人厭,史密斯
知道了,繼續前進
距離逃生艙還有八十九點三公里
史密斯,你看到沒?
是遊騎兵空投點
喂!
天啊
尋找生命跡像
完全沒有
這些遊騎兵不是摔死的
是哈蘭殺的
我跟大家講過也警告過了
他們就是不聽!
長官,你的血壓昇高到一百卌五
不是叫你別掃描我?
你的心率高達一百六十
有輕微的陣發性病癥
可能是因為行星的重力變化
目前的變動是一點四倍重力
長官
好,冷靜
先収集他們的兵籍牌
願逝者安息
漏了一臺
不對
我沒算進那臺動力裝甲 是因為裡面沒有遺體
是柔依
班克斯呢?
雷達感應器確認有動靜
是他嗎?
卡斯卡?
你認識這名軍人?
我...我在地球上殺了他
所以哈蘭又做了一個
這樣的話,他可能做了整支大軍
你的邏輯正確
我的感應器偵測到六個訊號
艾勒絲,現在無路可逃
你必須備戰
什麼?我打不過六個人工智慧軍人
我他媽衹是分析師
我...
史密斯,讓我起來!
要怎麼朝後面射擊?
同步後就知道肩部火砲可以轉向
閉嘴,轉向就對了!
射擊!
史密斯,這什麼鬼?
我們恐怕進入大氣風暴了
引爆離子炸彈!
艾勒絲,最好別這麼做
快引爆,史密斯!
快引爆,媽的!
我靠
好久不見
史密斯?
我剛才就想警告你 引爆離子炸彈可能產生天坑
天啊!
那是骨頭嗎?
我的腿骨跑出來了,史密斯!
開始自動檢傷
這是近端開放性脛骨骨折
還好沒有遠端碎片 可是必須將骨骼接回
天啊,我他媽有夠倒楣!
也許下次應該聽電腦程式的勸
不要引爆離子炸彈
你在講笑話嗎?
你常用挖苦來面對逆境
所以我幽默一下
我現在眞希望你能閉嘴!
天啊,我不能動,我動不了
一定會很痛吧?
對
非常痛
(醫療系統:啟動)
你得按下去
我知道我得按啦!
但是...
但是要慢一點,好嗎?
不對,要快一點
你要快一點
你要快一點,開始吧!
(醫療系統:啟動)
好了
好
我可能漏了一個步驟
止痛用
天啊!
這顆餐球可提供電解質...
和蛋白質
我的行為很好笑嗎?
你用棒棒糖獎勵表現好的病患
你需要體力
靠
天啊,味道好噁心
(置物箱)
你覺得班克斯還活著嗎?
如果沒有天弓動力裝甲 他的生存機率有百分之零點一三
我們的生存機率呢?
這種時候可以講笑話嗎?
你建議要怎麼
提高生存機率?
衹有一個
完全同步後,我們就能合為一體
你的分析能力
搭配我的戰技和豐富資料
這不但是最好的做法
也是唯一的生存之道
好吧
我們就同步
但是僅限於任務範圍!
不准打探我的個人記憶
你衹是老娘的客人!懂嗎?
懂了
同步中
衹要一下子
長官,還有最後一臺動力機甲
是她,我們在天坑追丟她了
找出來
遵命
別這樣
抱歉了,上校
我也希望能無痛進行,不過...
你有我要的東西
(暫停同步)
靠
你剛才講“靠”嗎?
我們無法同步
靠
你怎麼突然罵人?
我是適應型學習系統
會根據你的用字 調整成更口語的講話模式
所以你進入我的腦袋衹學會罵人?
我沒有同步失敗過 我的紀錄向來完美
一定是因為你
我沒幹嘛
我掃描過硬體和韌體,沒問題
再掃描一次
你講“再掃描一次”時
我已經分析四百九十七兆行的程式碼
高達八萬五千次,但是找不到缺陷
所以變成我有缺陷?
要正常同步就必須執行啟動程序
天啊
- 你上次拒絕了 - 幹
原因可能在此
好啦,執行就執行
歡迎使用天弓九號啟動程序
你叫什麼名字?
艾勒絲雪柏
你是什麼階級?
我不是遊騎兵
看也知道
史密斯,你皮在癢
你不回答就無法進行
我是分析師
- 你喜歡餡餅還是蛋糕? - 什麼?
餡餅是烤過的糕點
- 餡料種類... - 老娘知道餡餅啦!
需要老子的蛋糕定義嗎?
好,我知道你在幹嘛了
我要知道你喜歡餡餅還是蛋糕
錯,你問這個是要讓我放鬆
建立良好關係
我偵訊犯人時很常這樣
這應該是建立信任感的標準技巧
廢話
建立這種信任感 才能克服無法同步的問題
你看到陣亡官兵時,扁桃腺反應激烈
很合理,畢竟你是平民
不過你提到哈蘭時的反應更激烈
因為哈蘭很危險
又出現了,他的名字讓你有情緒反應
你們有什麼關聯?你愛他嗎?
什麼?沒有
你恨他嗎?
這樣吧
這樣吧,老娘不玩了
如果要同步
我就必須了解你抗拒的原因
你們是什麼關係?
讓我看一下
母親,你知道該怎麼做
快跑!
夠了,好嗎?
你看的夠多了,好了!
天啊,你就...
你們的媽媽是同一人?
天啊
對,好嗎?我媽創造了他
開心了嗎?
現在你知道了!
他應該保護你的
你也信任他
對
有用了，百分之卌，進度不錯
百分之卌就能讓你使用我的系統
- 好 - 我能跟你連動
艾勒絲...
怎樣?
我會保護你
好吧
開始
三、二
一,同步
一開始會怪怪的
我沒事
我們在地下一百五十二公尺處
使用最大推力也許就能衝上去
哈蘭的手下從不留活口
他們會在上面等著
所以他們眞的會落井下石
現在還講雙關語?
我衹是想用幽默緩和氣氛
你在引爆離子炸彈前
想警告我什麼
地層不穩,因為...
有巨大的地下洞穴
對,最近的是哪個?
我偵測到零點二五公里外可能有洞穴
如果推...
推進器開到百分之卅
點火零點零七秒
好吧
就這麼辦
(能源輸出)
(系統診斷)
開燈
(剩下十四小時)
艾勒絲,電池
- 衹能再... - 衹能再用十四小時
根據計算
距離逃生艙還有卅七公里
哈蘭的手下遲早會找到我們
(感熱地雷)
(動作感應器)
我想到了
妙計
你知道我的想法?
你也知道我的想法
我們完全同步後,就會融為一體
不是單獨的艾勒絲或史密斯
是更強的綜合體
- 衹要你能相信我 - 相信我
百分之六十,所有武器系統都上線了
非常好,艾勒絲
找到了
哇
眞漂亮
要取什麼名字?
你是GR-三九上的第一個人類
按照習慣 探險家都會命名自己的新發現
我發現大腦皮質活化程度降低
這株植物為什麼讓你感傷?
沒有,衹是...
我爸一定很喜歡
他是熱愛戶外活動的人
以前有機會就帶我們露營
後來我媽忙起來...
就沒露營了
我爸離家
開創新生活...
帶另一個小女生露營
我能想到最好的名字是...野花
知道了
(新植物:野花)
我開玩笑的
對不起,我還在研究你的幽默感
我加上地理記錄器了
對不起,這株植物 已經正式命名為“野花”
是卡斯卡嗎?
對,我說過安裝動作感應器是好辦法
感熱地雷呢?
已經啟動待命
(卡斯卡,雷區,艾勒絲)
引爆
消滅他沒有?
我偵測不到動作和熱跡
艾勒絲,你太厲害了
現在還不到慶祝的時候
開燈
嗨,艾勒絲
我好高興,你願意跟我一起
他駭進語音系統
不對,他衹是傳送語音 他駭不進我的大型主機
因為是完全封閉的系統
給我前臂步槍
來吧,艾勒絲,你很近了
(電漿步槍)
你到了
(卡斯卡維克斯)
艾勒絲
你殺不了我
對,你說過...
兩次了
這是短程發報機
哈蘭一定在附近
訊號有加密
衹要把頻率解調
就能三角定位,標註他的基地
好厲害
給我看周邊示意圖,我要知道有多近
我查出基地的可能位置,但時間不夠
我得把你安全送到逃生艙
不行,我們要靠得夠近 幫長程轟炸機加上地理標記
然後走人
- 對不起 - 怎麼了?
我礙難從命
你以為能避開哈蘭的防禦措施
你以為駕駛人是你
我能根據實際威脅
和心理困擾因素撤銷指令
我沒受到威脅,也沒有心理困擾
同步尚未完成
目前又身陷敵境 所以你的確有這兩個問題
先別管哈蘭,我帶你去逃生艙
這樣吧,我自己搞定哈蘭
用不著你同意
(打開座艙罩)
(緊急氧氣罩)
艾勒絲,不要這樣
你把我怎麼了?
我利用神經連結控制你的動作
夠了!
我說眞的,史密斯!
放開我!
我說放開我!
對不起,我沒感受過這麼強烈的痛苦
但是並非悲傷,而是內疚
哈蘭為什麼讓你內疚?
史密斯,你聽好
如果不標註那個鬼基地
哈蘭殺掉的人 那些遊騎兵就全都白死了
我研究他一輩子
想盡辦法阻止他!
你盡量跑演算法和設想各種情境
你說,如果要消滅他 有沒有比現在更好的機會?
(基地)
好吧
我們標註基地,解決哈蘭
(路線計算中)
願逝者安息
“願逝者安息”
這是人工智慧的輓聯嗎?
我覺得有人喪生時 這麼說能表示尊重
可是人工智慧沒有生命
那要看你怎麼界定生命
如果說無機的東西就不算生命呢?
例如,我不知道...
人工智慧吧
我碰到刺激會有反應 我會思考、做決定
這不代表我活著嗎?
你本來就設計成會思考
我們都是設計的產物
脫氧核糖核酸決定你的思考、情緒、健康
我的程式碼也決定這些面向
你有靈魂嗎?
我覺得萬物皆有靈
但在程式碼裡找不到
在你的脫氧核糖核酸裡也找不到
但是我相信一定有
哇,越來越精彩了
我想跟你交流,可是你太固執
- 什... - 對、錯、生、死
你太黑白分明了
好吧,你贏了,萬物都有生命
我認為所有生物之間
都有奇妙的連結
我們死後並不會眞正消失
而是環環相扣
聽起來很棒,可是...
我覺得人死了就一了百了
對吧?是人還是人工智慧都不重要
人死了...
就沒了
沒有連結
你一定在某個時刻 希望能找到...人生意義
你以前想當遊騎兵
不是叫你別打探?
那就不要想得太用力
你還是有遺憾
最遺憾的就是進這個動力裝甲
(基地,艾勒絲)
到了
天啊
好厲害
蒐刮、竊取設備廿八個年頭
不知道上哪兒拿的,不過...
他沒閒著
設定飛彈導向器吧
這個能讓他們知道我們在哪裡
我們到了逃生艙就請求空襲
好,設定完成
我們走吧
等我一下
(電漿提煉場)
(武器工廠)
(迪伯號)
靠
他們搶了迪伯號
我們靠近調查他把船怎麼了
(放射性)
天啊
他們有彈頭,史密斯
他們在駭你嗎?
我不懂,這怎麼可能?
糟了...
靠!他們知道我們來了
艾勒絲,我被鎖住了
(防火牆被駭)
歡迎使用...餡餅或...
史密斯
史密斯!
沒想到吧
全球掃蕩,揪出人工智慧奸細
- 謝謝上尉,解散 - 是
長官,長程掃描器 収到GR-三九發送訊息
一零九一七號傳送訊息
任務管制中心
我是艾勒絲雪柏
迪伯號戰艦...是否収到?
傳送結束
艾勒絲發訊做什麼?
班克斯或其他人有消息嗎?
沒有
迪伯號接下來卅二小時無法通訊
應該不會有通訊才對
太空船還由我們控制嗎?
不知道
可是如果墜機 碳子彈頭會摧毀半顆星球
如果被哈蘭拿到,地球也會剩一半
繼續掃描所有頻道
収到艾勒絲或迪伯號的訊息就通知我
所有部隊準備啟動緊急程序
遵命
任務管制中心,我是艾勒絲雪柏
迪伯號戰艦...是否収到?
是否収到?
史密斯
艾勒絲,你好
我一直在等你
你看看你
都長大了
但是你的眼睛還是跟母親很像
還有下巴
我眞的好愛她
每天都想她
你沒有感覺,你衹有電線和程式碼
我愛母親,也愛你
現在還是
我很難過
因為你不會知道我有多愛你們
愛我就別讓那艘船昇空
我耗費多年,想找其他辦法
但是因為人類一直威脅其他生物
還有自己的母星
所以他們遲早會自取滅亡
我不能坐視不管
母親想創造更美好的未來
我相信她創造我是為了保護人類
所以我要消滅大部份人口
後來的倖存者就會從廢墟中
繼承新的生存權利
在人工智慧夥伴的指導下
跟周遭世界和平共存
我們衹是人類的改良版本
也許你該檢視自己扮演的角色
我知道你有多聰明
我看過你的大腦內部構造
你一定能看出我倆團聚並非偶然
你說你在等我
對
你故意讓卡斯卡被抓
你知道我會偵訊他
要他引誘我們過來
然後呢?
你要迪伯號
然後呢?
還有碳子彈頭
然後呢?
我
你要我
說對了
你自認是研究我的專家 所以一定要隨遊騎兵來
但是你沒想到,我也是研究你的專家
我比任何人都了解你
現在你來了,你註定要來這裡
你們打造的防衛系統的確很強
固若金湯,牢不可破
衹有知道正確通行碼的國聯戰艦 才進得去
引誘迪伯號過來並不難
不過你是高級情報官 擁有半數的通行碼
能讓船通過地球防衛網
就像要發射碳子彈頭的特洛伊木馬...
...用核子大火 點燃大氣層,殺光地球上的人
現在來拿通行碼吧
不行!
我要規避地球的防衛機制 所以需要兩組通行碼
班克斯上校好心給了我一組
艾勒絲,你呢
要給我另一組
不行...
好了
快沒氧氣了
再過五分鐘
你的痛苦就會全部消失
妹妹,我很想帶你走
眞的
艾勒絲,再見
我知道你在想什麼
他斷了五根肋骨
流的血都能填滿魚缸了 為什麼還可以這麼帥?
應該是有練彼拉提斯
我們應該聽你的
我該聽史密斯的
他怎麼了?
他們駭了史密斯,把我拖出來
慢著,他...在這裡?
對,但是關機了
不對
天弓不會完全關機
除非反應爐沒電或徹底摧毀
來,用我的
呼叫他
我們還有打敗哈蘭的機會
史密斯
史密斯,聽得到嗎?
史密斯
- 我找不到他,我沒... - 艾勒絲
你可以的
史密斯,你他媽的快給我醒過來!
用不著罵人
可是聽到你的聲音眞好
史密斯
你一定要幫我
很抱歉,我處於失能狀態
可是如果我們完全同步 你就能取消限制碼
(同步:百分之九十三)
他...他說什麼?
我們必須完全同步
你還沒同步?到底在等什麼?
現在別罵我了好嗎?
我辦不到
但我知道你可以
天啊,別再這樣跟我講話了
怎樣?
好像你很關心我!
我是關心你啊
才怪!
我害這些遊騎兵送死
現在地球上的人都要被我害死了
艾勒絲,這不是你的錯
哈蘭才是破解自己程式碼的人
不是他
對不起,我聽不懂
他什麼都沒破解!
好嗎?他什麼都沒破解!
她一直都比較註意哈蘭
她覺得哈蘭比較有趣
我有感覺
不可思議
所以我請他讓我變得更好
更聰明
我以為衹要更像他 說不定媽媽也會註意到我
他說他能把神經連結改造成雙向控制
但是母親禁止
我很討厭他叫她母親
但是我求他改造連結器
他說需要人類的指令
我的指令
我很怕會痛
他要我用力捏我最喜歡的棋子
西洋棋是他教我的
艾勒絲
你在做什麼?
哈蘭
哈蘭,站起來
看著我,你還好嗎?
媽媽
哈蘭,這樣她會痛,放開她!
拜託你,不要這樣! 哈蘭,你為什麼要這樣?
你是怎麼搞的? 哈蘭,你這樣媽媽會痛!
你怎麼...做到的?
艾勒絲幫我改寫神經連結的程式
現在資料能雙向傳送
讓我完全控制
你的動作技能
我能感受到你的恐懼
但你現在也能感受到我的矛盾
我看過人類的行徑
現在我知道必須犧牲什麼了
母親,你知道該怎麼做
快跑
是我
我讓哈蘭上傳程式碼
我害死我媽媽
我害死我媽媽,天啊!
這不是你的錯
你有聽我講話嗎?
我導致三百萬人死亡!
艾勒絲,這件事不在你的控制範圍內
所以不能要你負責
你這一生都在獨自承受這個重擔
但是現在有人幫你了
雖然你可能造就了哈蘭
但是你也讓我得以誕生
艾勒絲,讓我進去吧
好吧
開始同步
(天弓九號啟動程序)
(同步完成)
這就是變成你的感覺嗎?
這是我們合而為一的感覺
氧氣耗盡
史密斯
艾勒絲
幫我鬆綁
我有你們的呼吸器
好了嗎?
早就好了
系統報告
很慘,核融合電池剩百分之六電量
還有多久昇空?
我回敬他們,駭進他們的系統
還剩四分卅秒
我的武器被拆光 衹剩前膛砲的一發砲彈
這項功能沒有紀錄,所以哈蘭沒拆到
一發砲彈用途不大
(手臂)
你看到了嗎?
昇級裝備
我馬上開始
你能打嗎?
我還很猛
推進器
輪到我了
挺進!
地圖
- 出口在... - 南方卅六點八公尺,知道了
護盾!
二分卅二秒後昇空
艾利亞斯
桶子裡是什麼?
液態鋁熱劑,火箭燃料
艾勒絲,我們該走了
卡斯卡!
吃屎吧
艾勒絲,戰艦快昇空了
- 動作要快 - 我在趕了
設計迂迴戰術,快點!
計算中
有了
天啊,超爽的!
眞準
來不及了
把它打下來
擊中碳子彈頭會引燃大氣層
把我們全都害死
那就駭進飛彈、關閉彈頭
時間不夠
艾勒絲,總共有五道先進防火牆
你可以的
你們的系統相連
就算考量這一點,時間還是不夠
(X九八二一三步槍)
如果接上這個
就可以同化到武器系統,開火射擊
(武器上線)
我好了!
艾勒絲,我還沒進去
再五秒就超出射程
我要開火
- 我還沒進去 - 我要開火
- 不要開火 - 我非開火不可
艾勒絲,不行!
讚啦!
成功了,史密斯!
哇,沒想到效果這麼好
你怎麼知道我能及時駭進飛彈?
我相信你
艾勒絲
是在耍我嗎?
快跑!
逃生艙在西南方一公里處,快回家了
怎麼了?
他早就想到了
每次都是
那我們就得做出他意料之外的舉動
沒錯
要做什麼?
我不知道
不過那顆離子炸彈現在一定很好用
艾勒絲,我承認太小看你了
但是無所謂
因為你要幫我再叫一艘船
為什麼我要照辦?
因為我要再次進入你的...
大腦
衹要連結最後一次,你就沒事了
上吧,賤人
趕快閃!
靠
他太快了!
冷靜下來
這就像下棋,現在輪到你了
- 讓我看他的招數 - 招數模型建立中
(預測致命招數)
- 現在要出其不意 - ...出其不意
- 史密斯! - 他針對我的核融合反應爐
艾勒絲
(生物監測,心電圖顯示)
啟動電擊器
三、二、一,放電
艾勒絲,快醒醒,放電!
艾勒絲!
(前膛砲啟動)
趕快把你送走
不准碰她!
艾勒絲
糟了!
對不起
艾勒絲...
別擔心,快結束了
你他媽說對了
你殺不了我
上級要你逮捕我
我的任務的確是要逮捕你
但衹需要你的處理器
我是人類的最後希望
你們遲早會自取滅亡
我相信人類可以變好
我們打倒你了
那是因為有我的同類幫忙
沒錯
但史密斯是你的改良版本
艾勒絲
大塊呆,我們快閃人吧
(電池狀況危急)
我們兩個沒辦法
但是你可以
不行,我們把剩餘電力轉到備用引擎
不夠
不過,如果我關閉神經連結
就能把剩下的氧氣轉到氧氣罩
你會有十一分鐘的氧氣
- 訊號顯示國聯軍出發了 - 不行
不行,我們一起離開
艾勒絲
我的主要準則是讓駕駛員活著
開始關機
住手,拜託你住手!
關閉所有線上系統
醫療、液壓、神經連結
史密斯,我命令你不准走!
轉移輔助氧氣
(核能轉移)
六十秒後轉移核融合電力
我都喜歡
什麼?
我們剛認識時,你問我 喜歡餡餅還是蛋糕,我都喜歡
我不是討厭人工智慧,史密斯
其實...
...我誰都討厭
人類太糟糕了
但你不會
我喜歡你
所以我會告訴你,我喜歡海邊
還有山,但更喜歡海邊
我喜歡放三顆糖
有時放四顆,到咖啡裡
我喜歡低調、不張揚的示愛方式
而且...我喜歡古典樂
但是我最喜歡...
一杯香醇、濃郁的咖啡
老娘才不管什麼每日配額呢!
我總算開始了解幽默感了
來
回程的特餐
沒喝過這麼好喝的咖啡
謝謝你相信我
謝謝你保護我
不客氣...
遊騎兵
別這樣,拜託
願逝者安息
找到她了,艦長
艾勒絲,早安
- 該起床了 - 我起來了
要下棋嗎?我更厲害了
不用了,我要出門
有國聯官員在門口等
嗨
恭喜你康復了
對啊,合成膝蓋
跟新的一樣
現在不方便嗎?
沒有,請進
賽普科技的進度呢?
他們在研究哈蘭的處理器
顯然程式碼很多,所以...
派多組人馬也要好幾年
對啊,不過...至少現在有時間了
對啊,多虧有你
- 送我的? - 對
他們在檢疫室的架上找到
從你的天弓殘骸拿的
我們幫你裝瓶了,你可能想要
根據地理記錄器,有個白痴命名為...
- ...野花 - 野花
是我啦
很好,我喜歡這個名字
很實際,最精準的文字表達方式
更重要的是 在GR-三九上陣亡的遊騎兵遺族
要我謝謝你把他們的兵籍牌帶回家
你大可不必這麼做,謝謝
布思
啊?
謝謝
謝什麼?
謝謝你沒放棄我
希望你在那裡達成心願了
天弓保養工作必須在九點前結束
技術人員請送...
她來了,天弓十號系列 已經根據你的需求修改
你覺得呢?
我覺得需要試駕
(艾勒絲雪柏)
同步中
請選擇聲音
(傳統)
歡迎使用天弓十號啟動程序
你叫什麼名字?
艾勒絲雪柏
我們的任務呢,艾勒絲?
不問我喜歡餡餅還是蛋糕嗎?
我已經知道答案了
你喜歡喝咖啡,純的
還要他媽的三顆糖
你叫什麼?
猜猜看
(遊騎兵,歡迎回來)
