Mother/Android (2021)

[bunniefuu]

[mournful music playing]

[woman] How do you leave someone?

Really, truly leave them.

Leave them so far behind that…

that it's like you never met?

[sighs]

-Maybe you should do another one.
-Sam.

[hesitates] What do you wanna do?

I just wanna sit here.

Yeah, but…

Look, G, I just want you to know
that I support you

in whatever decision you want to make.

Okay.

-[chuckles] G, can you say something?
-Sam.

I know you're trying to be sweet right now

and that you're worried about me.

But just stop.

Let's get married, G.

Let's do it. I'm serious.
Let's get married.

[sighs]

What?

[scoffs]

I love you.

[car horn honks]

[car door opens]

[dog barks]

They're here.
I don't wanna make them wait.

[woman 2] I want you to order
a self-drive on the way home.

-Don't let anyone drive you. Okay?
-[woman] Okay.

[woman 2]
Sam, you're backing me up on this, right?

[woman] Sam?

Uh, yes.

Yes, Mr. and Mrs. Olsen, I got you.

Whose parents are gonna be there?

No one's parents, Dad. We're in college.

-Are you okay?
-Mmm-hmm.

-You look a little green around the gills.
-I'm fine, Mom. I'm just…

-Can I have my coat, please, Eli?
-[Eli] Yes, ma'am.

You need a scarf too.

You're not wearing enough.

[woman] What is this?

It's mine. And I want it back.

[woman] Uh, my purse too. Thank you.

[Mr. Olsen] Have fun, you two. Be safe.

Yes, sir, we won't be out too long.
Good night, Mrs. Olsen.

Thank you, Eli.

Happy Halloween, sir.

Eli, it's Christmas.

Of course. Merry Christmas, sir.

[Sam chuckles]

[pop music playing over speakers]

[man 1] Ow. [laughs]

[man 2] You missed. All right.

-[man 1 laughing] Oh!
-[man 2] Oh sh*t.

[announcer on TV] Since 1969,

Raster Robotics has delivered
cutting-edge AI…

Your hot chocolate, sir.

Thank you, Daniel.

-Hold up. Does this have rum in it?
-Uh, it does not, sir.

Okay, sh*ts for everyone, Daniel.

I'm sorry, your parents put
a restriction on sh*ts served.

Ten-two-six-six.

Right away.

With limes.

-Do you have my phone? I can't find it.
-No, I don't. Did you leave it?

f*ck. Did I not give it to you?

Uh, I'm… I'm good.

-Let me take that for you, G.
-What?

-G, you shouldn't be drinking.
-Stop.

Yo, are you two fighting?
You seem like you're fighting.

-We're fine.
-I didn't ask you, Samuel.

[woman] Sam, you're embarrassing me.

-Sam.
-[glass breaks]

[announcer] …elevate
your android's evolution…

Really?

[announcer] Get the new OS
this Christmas from Raster Robotics.

Dude, chill.

[announcer] More than human.

[man 1] Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Watch the elbows.

I've got it, sir. Not to worry.

[man 1] Is this the first time
you ever played, huh?

[laughter]

[softly] I'm pregnant.

God, I'm scared.

He's trying to be so sweet.

And… I'm not ready for this.

I'm not even sure
that I wanna be with him.

-Did you tell him?
-Yes.

That's why he's being
so f*cking dumb right now.

f*ck.

f*ck.

Ugh.

[woman 3] So what are you gonna do?

[chuckles]

I… think I'm gonna have--

[high-pitched screeching]

[woman grunts]

What the f*ck?

[glass shatters]

[woman 4 screams]

[man] Stop! Stop!

Sam?

[woman 4 grunting]

[dramatic music playing]

-Ten-two-six-six.
-[man] Daniel, no!

No, no, no! Stop, stop, stop!

[grunting]

[gasps]

Georgia, come on.

Go! Go to the front door! Go--

[Sam] G, go back! Go back! Go back!

-[glass shatters]
-[objects clattering]

-[Georgia screams]
-[Sam] No!

[grunting]

Sam!

[groans]

[grunting]

-[grunts]
-[metal clinks]

[gasps, coughs]

[gasps]

[panting]

[Georgia sobs]

[woman 3] He k*lled them.

They're not supposed
to be able to do that.

They're programmed
not to be able to do that.

[g*nshots in distance]

[woman screams] Stop it! Help me!

[tires squealing]

-[crashing]
-[car alarm blaring]

-[g*nsh*t]
-[sirens wailing]

-[alarm blaring]
-[g*nsh*t]

[Sam] Holy sh*t!

[woman screams]

[man screams]

-[woman 3] I've got to call my mom.
-[Sam] sh*t!

My mom.

-[woman] Call the cops!
-[g*nsh*t]

[electronic screeching]

-Oh sh*t!
-Sarah!

Sarah. Sarah.

Sarah! No!

-Sarah.
-G. What the f*ck?

-[g*nshots]
-[screaming continues]

[explosions]

[tires squealing]

[people screaming]

[sirens wailing]

-[Sam] Fawn?
-[Georgia chuckles]

-Fawn?
-[Sam] Yeah. Like a baby deer.

-[Georgia] Mmm-mmm.
-[Sam] Or Leaf?

-[Georgia] Mmm-mmm.
-[Sam] Leaf.

[Georgia] Who the hell are you?

[Sam] You said
you wanted something to do with nature.

[Georgia] Uh, yeah, sure. But I meant…

I don't know,
something like… [inhales sharply]

…river or--

[Sam] Right.
Because River is so much better than Leaf.

-[Georgia chuckles]
-I'm sorry.

-[Georgia] It is, actually.
-Oh yeah?

[Georgia] All right, forget nature.
What's your first choice for a girl?

How are you so sure
that this is a baby girl?

I don't know. I can tell.

I'm telling you it's a boy.

-No, it's not.
-Yes, it is.

[laughing] Shut up.

-I'm having girl dreams.
-Mmm-hmm.

Yeah, you also had a dream
you gave birth to a pony.

[Georgia] Mmm-mmm.

-No, I didn't.
-You having a pony too?

-No, I didn't. When?
-Oh my God. Yes, you did.

You told me you were gonna break up
with me when I said we can ride that pony.

[both laugh]

-[leaves crunching]
-[Georgia] Oh no!

I totally forgot about that.

-And we named her something.
-[twig snaps]

-[Sam] G.
-[Georgia] What?

[Sam] Did you hear that?

No.

[twig snaps]

[breathing heavily]

[Georgia] Come back in, Sam.

-I think it's just an animal.
-[Georgia] Come on.

[sighs]

[tent door zipping]

[eerie music playing]

[switch clicks]

-[twig snaps]
-[gasps]

[Sam] What's up, Squirrel?

-Did you sleep all right?
-[Georgia sighs]

No.

[sighs heavily] Bad dreams.

Mmm.

-[Georgia sighs]
-You okay?

My back hurts.

My boobs hurt.

My feet hurt.

And she won't stop kicking.

He.

[Georgia sighs]

[Sam laughs]

Come on, babe, we got to get going.

-Seriously.
-Ugh.

[Georgia groans softly]

[water bubbling]

[Sam] You okay?

Yeah, my feet.

[groans]

Keep telling you,
you need to get the All Stars.

[Georgia grunting]

[eerie music playing]

[Georgia] We've gotta
clear six miles by sundown.

As long as we stay away from the road,
I think we'll be okay.

[grunts]

[both grunting]

[b*llet casings clinking]

[music ends]

You okay?

I'm always afraid they're gonna sh**t us.

Just do what they say. Move slowly.

[ominous music playing]

[soldier over megaphone] Stop. Hands up.

Put your packs down and turn around.

[grunts]

-[megaphone feedback]
-Any weapons?

Uh, yeah, we have a machete
and a revolver.

-[soldier] Where are they?
-In the pack.

What's the girl hiding under her shirt?

I'm nine months pregnant!

Walk backwards towards us.

Slowly.

One at a time. You, go ahead.

You, stop.

[grunts]

Put your palm up against this fence.

Right over here.

Hold that pack low.

[device beeps]

Put your palm up on the fence.

[device beeps]

No. No, no, no, you're over there.

[device beeps]

[man] Hey, hey, hey.

[indistinct chatter]

[woman] Where are you guys coming from?

[Georgia] After the Blitz,
we thought things would just get better.

We waited out for a few months,
and then we tried to get to New York.

And then, on our way to New York,
they detonated the electronic pulse thing.

[woman] The EMP.

Yeah. Grunt freaked out
and triggered it during an att*ck.

Once the EMP blast radius went down,

the next wave of androids
swarmed the soldiers and…

Well, that was the end of New York City.

[Georgia] We ended up
looping back up the long way.

And now we're…
[sighs] …trying to get to Boston.

[woman] Boston is fortified,
but you can't get straight there.

[Georgia] Sorry.

[woman] The area surrounding it
is no-man's-land.

Gonna be tough unless you can figure out
a way to come in from the sea.

I wouldn't risk it
while you're this far along.

[Georgia] Oh, um, I… I can ask you.

Uh, when I give birth, I know
that I have to cut the umbilical cord.

I read it that I have to.

How do I get it out of me?
Is it just gonna fall out or--

[woman] You can have the baby here.

What?

I can?

[woman] I mean, you're past due.
You really shouldn't be traveling at all.

[Georgia] Sam wants us
to get to Boston before I give birth.

We're trying to get to this.

Look.

Families with a child one year or younger,

they qualify
to take a boat somewhere safe.

Maybe Asia.

Have you heard anything about it?

Yeah. Um, couple of months ago,
this is what everyone was doing.

When did you get this?

In the spring.
Why? Did you hear something?

No.

I can ask around for you,

but I heard they were only taking
the mothers and babies.

No fathers.

It's a food supply thing.

You wanna hear the heartbeat?

[chuckles softly] Yeah.

[heartbeat thumping]

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[thumping continues]

[birds tweeting]

[lighter clicks]

[distant chattering]

[Sam] Yo, what's up, man?
Can I get one of those?

Nope.

You, uh, you know if they got
any shipments going to Boston?

Anyone I can hitch a ride with?

My girl's pregnant, and we're trying
to cut through the no-man's-land.

No one's getting through no-man's-land.
That's why it's called no-man's-land.

Yeah. I just mean, maybe
there's a way for us to get to Boston.

Boston is surrounded as f*ck.

They got a strong holdout
because of the troops and the EMPs.

But all it takes is one domino.

What you mean, "domino"?

You got a EMP, right?

You can only detonate it once.

Takes out everything
with an electrical current

within its blast radius.

Then all we got is g*ns.

g*n'll only do so much.

But that's what androids want.

Get us to blow an EMP

so they can get up nice and close.

You, uh, you know
if they still shipping people out?

Like civilians off the coast?

You trying to hop over to China?

Maybe Korea.

Heard it's safer over there.

Maybe just a rumor.

Yeah. I bet they still have boats.

[scoffs] Hard to say.

I'm not trying to run from this.

[Sam] I got a family, man.

Who doesn't?

[bird cawing]

[Georgia humming]

[man] Please, I told you I had
a hip replacement. Listen to me!

[man 2] I don't know
about no hip replacement.

All I know is you light up my detector.
Now step back!

[man] Please! You wanna cut me open?
You wanna see? I bleed red just like you.

[sighs]

[man 2] Hey, you got metal in your bones.

-You got five seconds to back off!
-[man] Please.

-[man 2] Five! Get off the fence! Three!
-[man] No, please. They said they--

[g*nsh*t]

[g*nsh*t echoing]

[Georgia] The doctor hasn't heard anything
about the Family Initiative for weeks.

[Sam] I talked to a soldier. He said
they still got boats going out of Boston.

Why would they still have boats
if they're not taking families?

I think we should stay.

We have… shelter.

We got a doctor.

Yeah, and what happens after?

We got days of walking left,

and we gotta get through no-man's-land
without being noticed.

It's not gonna be easy
with Baby Boy with us.

If you can find a safe way for us to go,

the soldiers can give us
a ride or something…

I'll go.

Okay.

f*ck. I wish we still had the Internet.

Sushi.

[sighs] Freezers.

Consistent pair of clean socks.

[chuckles]

[Sam sighs]

What if they only take one of us?

Where is this coming from?

She said something about…

only taking the mothers and the babies.

She said they might not take you.

I mean, I… I guess… I guess
you and the baby get on the boat,

and I'll…

[hesitates] I don't know. I…

I'll just figure something else out, G.

[sighs] f*ck you.

Wait, what?

That's not what I wanna hear.

Okay, Georgia.

What do you wanna hear?

I wanna hear that we're in this together.

That's what I thought that we were doing.

-That--
-It is what we're doing.

That we could have just
gotten rid of this, but we didn't.

And this baby's on its way, Sam.

You're trying to put me on a boat
by myself so I'm not your responsibility.

I'm not saying that.

You asked me what I thought.

You're throwing a bunch of what-ifs at me.
I'm trying to do the right thing.

What part of putting me
on a boat by myself

is the right thing?

Okay, baby, can you chill?

You're being very hormonal right now.

No, baby--

I am allowed to have emotions!
This is not me being hormonal!

[Georgia sighs]

I should have just broken up with you.

Why would you say that?

Forget it.

[pensive instrumental music playing]

Where are you going?

-I'm gonna go get us a ride.
-[door zipping]

Don't worry.
I'm not abandoning you or whatever.

[soldiers shouting indistinctly]

[pensive music continues]

[soldiers chanting] Game over!

Game over!

-What time is it?
-[soldiers] Game over.

[man] What time is it?

-[sizzling]
-[screaming]

[soldiers cheering, shouting]

[man] We got
a special treat for you tonight.

This is no android right here.

I know it looks too good to be true.

This is 100% USDA prime beef right here.

[Sam] Yo, man,
how can I get a ride to Boston?

-[soldier 1] Oh man.
-[soldier 2 laughs]

[soldiers murmuring]

You could fight me for it.

-[soldiers] Ooh!
-[soldier 3] Oh, it's on now.

Or are you gonna run?

-[soldiers jeering]
-[man 2 laughs]

Oh, he's mad.

-Hey!
-Where are you going?

[man 2] Convoy's going
up to Nashua tomorrow.

It'd get you just about as close
as anyone can get.

Yeah. All you gotta do is…

[chuckles]

All you gotta do
is put me flat on my back,

and you got yourself a ride.

[soldiers] Ooh!

[laughing, murmuring]

What's it gonna be, little man?

[soldier 4 laughs]

[man] Ladies! Ladies!

-Hey, ladies!
-Whoa!

-[soldier 5] Yeah!
-[soldiers cheering]

[man] House rules. No holds barred.

And you rock till you drop.

[dramatic music playing]

[soldier 6] There you go!

Don't run off now.

[female soldier] Miss.

[gasps]

[female soldier] Miss.

Can you come out here, please?

[groans]

[female soldier] Miss.

Sam?

Where's Sam?

[female soldier] Sir.

[man] Oh yeah.

[Georgia] Sam.

What the f*ck did you do to him?

He was fighting
with a patrol officer last night.

[Georgia] What?

[man] I got a man with a busted skull
who's blind in one eye.

No. No, I… I'm sorry, but that…
that can't be what happened.

[man] I can account for a certain amount
of rowdiness among the soldiers,

but I will not tolerate
a guest on my base whaling on my boys.

What are you…
what are you going to do to him?

Lady, I'm fighting a f*cking w*r here

against an enemy
that literally never sleeps,

whose main objective
is to wipe us off the face of the earth.

We've got half a platoon,
most of them barely trained.

And I do not need a couple of kids
too chickenshit to enlist,

putting any of them out of commission.

You're no longer welcome on this base.

Sir, I'm…

I'm… I'm pregnant.

Congratulations.

Sir, I don't think you understand.
I have permission from Dr. Howe--

-[slams fist]
-Yes, I've spoken to Dr. Howe.

I've rescinded her request.

Sir--

You got two minutes
to get off my f*cking base.

[softly] Please.

[man] Now you got one minute

before I signal the other outposts
and tell them not to let you in.

[Sam] Come on, G, let's go.

-[Sam] Come on, man! Come on!
-[soldier 1] Let's go. Keep moving.

-[Dr. Howe] Hey.
-Hey.

[Dr. Howe] Some painkillers.
Some hydrogen peroxide.

And medical gloves for him.

[soldier 1] Get back!

I got a machete and a revolver in there.

I wish I could do more,
but it's all I can spare.

Cut the umbilical cord close
to your baby and tie it off.

The part connected to you will
expel itself an hour after you give birth.

Hey, women have been giving birth

since way before people started
calling themselves doctors.

You're gonna do great.

Okay. Thank you.

-Good luck.
-Yeah.

-Yeah.
-Yeah.

[Sam] Ma'am, please.
I had a revolver as well. I came--

-[soldier 2] I don't know about it.
-I got a baby on the way.

My pregnant girlfriend. Please.

Look, there are androids out there,
and it's just us. Please.

[Georgia grunting]

Thank you.

[gate clangs]

G!

Georgia!

[wind whooshing]

[birds tweeting]

Georgia.

Look, G, I'm sorry that I was--

G, I was trying to get us a ride
so that we could go to Boston.

You don't think
I can protect you, but I can.

[chuckles]

[panting]

Protect me?

assh*le. assh*le.

You assh*le. You dumb assh*le!
assh*le! You f*cking assh*le!

[panting]

[thunder rumbling]

[thunder cracks]

[Sam grunting]

[wind gusting]

-[Sam] You okay?
-[Georgia] Yeah.

[Sam grunting]

[Georgia groans]

[thunder rumbling]

[Sam grunting]

[Georgia panting]

[Sam] When the rain dies down,
I'll try to start a fire.

We can't. We can't.

We're practically in no-man's-land.

[both groaning]

-What's going on, baby? Is it time?
-No.

[groans] It just hurts.

[wind gusting]

[Georgia shuddering]

Hey, Georgia.

[shuddering]

-G.
-[Georgia gasping]

Squirrel.

We can't do this.

[Georgia groans]

We gotta get you warm.

[breathing heavily]

[gasps]

[wind howling softly]

Here.

[whispers] Sam, careful.

It's okay.

[Georgia groans]

[breathing heavily]

[grunts]

[sinister instrumental music playing]

[softly] Come on.

Come on.

[sighs]

-[wind howling]
-[distant thudding]

[grunting]

[creaking]

[Georgia breathing heavily]

Look, G, I didn't find a towel, but--

Thank you.

Uh-uh.

We are not having sex tonight,
so don't you dare look at me.

I didn't even say anything.

I'm still so mad at you for being so dumb.

-It was so f*cking dumb, Sam.
-I know. I know.

I'm sorry for saying what I said.

I don't know. I was just being…

Hormonal.

Watch it.

Thin ice.

Ugh! Please tell me

there's a mattress somewhere
in this house I can sleep on.

My spine feels like it's gonna shatter.

[door creaking]

[Georgia] Anything good yet?

No.

[ethereal music playing]

-[camera shutter clicks]
-[motor whirring]

[chuckles softly]

-[Sam grunting]
-Oh.

-Do you want me to help you?
-[muffled] Take this.

-Huh?
-Take this out of my mouth.

-What?
-Just take it!

[grunts]

Ow. Okay.

So good news.

This camera has one more photo in it,

which means sometime soon,

you and me…

and Spruce…

can have an actual real-life family photo.

[Sam chuckles]

We are not naming our baby Spruce.

Everything we've heard about Boston
is that it's surrounded.

[sighs] So we'd have to go up north.

Way north.

Maybe New Hampshire…

Portsmouth.

[sighs] And then we'd have
to find a boat or something

to bring us back down into Boston Harbor.

How long would that take?

Two weeks maybe.

And there's the boat stuff, which…

I don't know how to figure that out.

And how long to cut straight through?

It's 20 miles, so…

two days.

Probably three or four.

Twenty miles.

No checkpoints.

No EMPs.

Maybe no humans.

A lot of androids.

[sighs] We'd have to be quiet.

Silent.

We would have to be silent.

[fire crackling]

We should have the baby here.

That really scares me, G.

Me too.

What if something goes wrong?

The doctor was right, Sam.

We make such a big deal
about giving birth, but…

women used to give birth and then,

I don't know, cut the umbilical cord
with their teeth and keep on hunting.

Oh, what, so you're a hunter now?

-[chuckles]
-Huh?

You know what I mean.

Once the baby's here,
we could just take our time.

Take the long way. It's dry here.

We have supplies.

We've been lugging
that medical dictionary around

for six months now.

Why don't we just stop?

[inhales sharply]

Think it'll ever go back to normal?

No.

I mean, I don't even know if it should.

But I do think it could be good still.

Someday.

[baby cries]

[gasps]

[sighs]

[groans softly]

[groans]

[birds tweeting]

[flies buzzing]

Oh my God.

[engine sputtering]

Hey.

I got it to turn over a second ago.

-Did it wake you up?
-No.

Um…

Take it you saw the mass grave, huh?

[sighs]

They look… dug up.

Animals, I think.

What are you doing?

Fixing this.

Yeah, but why? We can't take it.

Why not?

'Cause it will attract too much attention.

We'll just go on foot
once the baby's here.

Look, G, I know
you're not gonna like this,

but I need you to hear me out.

I'm trying to be smart.

[sighs]

You could have this baby today
or in a week.

And I don't feel good about waiting
on the edge of no-man's-land,

hoping no one finds us.

You wanna go straight through.

It's 20 miles.

And if we take this bike,
we can get there by the end of the day.

What… happened to going quietly, Sam?

[sighs]

What changed since last night?

Okay, G.

Let's say you have the baby,

and we pull off the home birth
by ourselves.

Then we have a baby

who screams when he's hungry
or when it's cold.

We've been sneaking around so far,

but we're not gonna be able
to do that anymore.

Let's say we can stay quiet enough
to make it up to New Hampshire.

What kind of boat are we gonna get?
A motorboat?

Or gas or a sailboat?

I don't know how to sail, G. Do you?

That's scary to me.

Look, G.

I see a way that we can do this.

A way to make it okay.

G, I know you think I can't protect you,
but I would k*ll for you.

-Sam--
-I would die for you.

And I would do the same for our baby.

So, please, G. Please.

Let me just fix this bike

so we can get the hell out
of this dumb situation.

Today.

Today, G.

Okay.

[melancholy music playing]

[exhales heavily]

[groans]

[Sam] Watch our backs.

[engine starts]

[engine revving]

[rustling]

[engine revving]

[Georgia groans softly]

You good, G?

[sighs] Just my feet.

Mmm-hmm. Bet you want
some All Stars now, don't you?

-[chuckles]
-[Sam laughs]

[humming]

[Sam humming]

[metal clanging]

[bird fluttering]

[Sam continues humming]

-[twigs snapping]
-[leaves rustling]

[foreboding music playing]

[humming continues]

Sam.

[stops humming]

Get your sh*t, G. Let's go.

-Go! Go!
-[motorcycle engine sputters]

[engine starts]

-[Sam] Start!
-Go!

Hop on, G, come on!

[engine revving]

-Did we lose him?
-Hold on.

-G, did we lose him?
-I think we lost him.

[Sam] Oh sh*t!

G, grab the g*n!

[Georgia yelps]

[g*nsh*t]

-Keep it straight.
-Georgia.

-[Georgia] Keep it straight!
-Georgia!

-Keep it straight!
-Georgia!

I got her.

G, you need to stop?

Don't stop!

[Georgia yelps]

-[Sam] f*ck, G!
-Come on. Go! Don't slow down!

-[Sam] Oh sh*t.
-[Georgia] Don't slow down!

Go!

Sam.

Sam, we can't outrun them.

-[Sam] You need to get off!
-What?

-I'll distract them with the g*n. Listen.
-Sam!

This is the only sh*t.
If they chase me, you can get away.

-No!
-To the river.

-I'll meet you there. I can outrun them.
-Sam!

[man screams]

They won't stop.

If you don't want them to catch you,
come with me now.

-My boyfriend--
-They've taken him.

Where?

I can help you,
but you have to come with me.

[drones buzzing]

[Georgia exclaims in pain]

[groans]

[gasps]

Let me help you.

[breathing heavily]

[man] Please.

[drones buzzing]

-Where are we going?
-Shh.

They're everywhere.

[door creaks]

[metal clanging]

[man] It's okay.

Come on.

[lock clangs]

Is it safe to speak here?

You did all of this?

How have they not found this place?

Or you?

Hey!

Who are you?

You ever hear of Karel Čapek?

Is that you?

No.

He was a writer.

Czech.

In 1920, he wrote a play.

Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti.

And what does that
have to do with anything?

In it, a man, scientist,
tries to create new life.

Prove that there was no God.

His creations, the Roboti,

were these artificial creatures
with living flesh and blood components.

Essentially what the modern android is.

They look like us. They talk like us.

And it's commonplace
to mistake a Roboti for a human.

And at first,
they seem happy to serve man.

But in the end,

a Roboti rebellion leads
to the extinction of human life.

This play introduced
the word "robot" to human language,

and it ends with our extinction.

We knew what was coming
the second we gave it a name.

But sure,
let's build million-dollar butlers

and assume it's all going to be okay.

[chuckles softly]

So f*cking arrogant.

What did you do there?

AI programmer.

I'm alive because I know how they think.

What happened that night,
the night of the Blitz?

They were supposed
to be programmed not to k*ll us.

What went wrong?

What went wrong

was we built them in the first place.

-I need to sleep.
-Wait.

What's your name?

Arthur.

[can thuds]

Thank you.

[exclaims in pain]

[groans]

[exhales heavily]

What's wrong with you?

I'm having contractions.

Has your water broken?

No.

Sam.

I gotta find Sam.

[grunts]

You need to forget about your friend.

He's not my friend.

He's…

he's the father.

Look,

I'm sorry for what you're going through.

I know it's not easy.

But you need to get with the program here.

-They're not butlers anymore.
-[sighs]

They're k*lling machines.

And they've jumped the evolutionary chain.

They've hacked our programming,

and they'll use it against us
until we're all dead.

"Hacked our programming."
What do you mean?

We're not robots. You can't hack us.

Love.

I know it sounds dumb,
but that's what it is.

Human beings are programmed
through hormones and primal urges

to have emotional connections.

It's what kept us alive this long.

Parents, spouses, children.

But an android doesn't have that.

An android is expendable.

They don't have self-preservation,
and they'll sacrifice themselves

and others if it brings them
closer to their goal.

They can reason past sentiment
and emotional bond.

It's love.

Love makes us selfish.

Love will k*ll us all.

I can't leave him to die.

You wanna live?

Of course.

Save yourself.

That's what they would do.

They have strategy
like you wouldn't believe.

Please.

Please.

Just listen to me.

Why do you care so much?

Can I?

[crying]

Hey.

Hey.

[Arthur sobbing]

Shh. Shh.

-[Arthur] They're all dead.
-I know.

-They're all dead.
-I know.

They're all dead.

-They're all dead.
-I know.

It's okay.

Hey, it's okay.

Shh. I'm sorry.

[Arthur continues sobbing]

I'm sorry.

You were headed to Boston, right?

I can take you.

I can get you there.
I can get you there safe.

How?

This.

About eight years ago, we started
developing camouflage algorithms

for our complex in Eastern Europe.

Androids see UV,
heat sensors, night vision.

But this algorithm
created a mask against all of that.

-[Georgia] That makes you invisible?
-To the eye.

But they can hear you.
They can smell you. They're not stupid.

They know this tech exists,
so they look for it.

But it gives us a sh*t.

[metal clattering]

I'm not leaving without Sam.

This…

camouflage or whatever you wanna call it,

it gives me a chance

to go and get him.

I'm not letting you
take my armor for that.

[Georgia scoffs]

Fine. Then keep it.

It doesn't matter.
Either way, I'm gonna go get him.

You can die.

I really did try to help you.

I hope you remember that.

[clattering]

Let's go.

[thunder rumbling]

[ominous music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[woman screaming]

[man] No! No! No!

-[thudding]
-[man screaming]

[woman] Please, just let me go!

[man screaming]

[woman screaming] No! Please! No, no!

[screaming continues]

[engine sputtering]

[engine starts]

[Arthur] See the movement?

-[Georgia] Yeah.
-Patrols.

[man screaming]

What are they doing to them?

-Using them as bait.
-For who?

For you.

He won't be the only one they've captured.

You're not coming with me?

I only have two.

You'll need one for him
if you wanna get him out of there.

[thunder rumbling]

Are you sure this thing works?

Yeah. Why wouldn't it?

You find him, and you put this on him.

Get him out of there,
and you do it silently.

They're gonna notice he's disappeared.

You have four miles till you get
to the edge of no-man's-land.

They won't stop until they detect
the EMP radius signal. Understand?

Or you could just walk away.

You could walk away right now.

He would never know.

I'd know.

[foreboding music playing]

[thunder rumbling]

[beeps]

[woman screaming]

[man] Let me out! Let me out!

[groans softly]

[beeps]

[breath trembling]

[footsteps approaching]

[footsteps receding]

[gasps]

[footsteps approaching]

[footsteps receding]

Okay.

[man groaning]

[Georgia] Sam. Sam.

[Sam] G…

-What did they do to you?
-G, get out of here.

-[man] Hey!
-I'm here now.

-[chain clinks]
-[man] Hey!

-Shh.
-[man] Please help me out.

Stop it. Be quiet.

You don't understand.
You don't understand.

They're right there. Please. Be quiet.

Stop it. Be quiet. Please be quiet.

-Be quiet.
-I can help you.

-I can help you. Let me out.
-Wait. Stop.

Please be quiet. Please.

[Sam] Hey.

Hey, come here, you f*cking piece of sh*t!

Come here!

Come here, you f*cking--

[bone cracks]

[screams]

-[bones cracking]
-[screaming]

[whimpers]

[footsteps receding]

Sam. Wait.

[man] Hey!

Hey! Hey, come on. Just help me out.

I can help you.

-Bitch!
-Put this on.

-[man] Bitch!
-Put this on.

If you don't f*cking help me,
I'm gonna scream.

And every single one of those
m*therf*ckers is gonna come in here.

Let's go.

[man screaming] Hey!

-[Georgia] Stop it!
-Hey!

Hey! Come on!

Hey! Get me out of here. Come on!

[tense music playing]

[Georgia screams]

[both grunting]

[g*nsh*t]

[Georgia moans]

[Georgia] No. It's happening.

[exclaims in pain]

[drone buzzing]

We have to move.

[door clangs]

[androids roaring]

[groaning]

[engine starts]

[Georgia] Sam.

[Georgia screaming]

[groans]

[screaming]

[groans]

[groans]

[doctor] Try not to move.

-[groans] Where am I?
-[doctor] Boston.

[groans, sighs]

[sighs in relief]

Where's Sam?

[doctor] He's right there.

Hi, Squirrel.

Hey.

[doctor] He's been through a lot,
but before we talk about Sam,

I think we should talk about this…

healthy baby boy.

I told you.

Hey.

Hi, baby.

[doctor] Your friend has been resting.

He collapsed after getting you here.

They're gonna want to talk to him
when he wakes up.

[Georgia] How did we get here?

[doctor] He got you
through the checkpoint.

Caused quite a fuss with the soldiers.

But when they saw you were midway
through delivery and unconscious,

we got you in here
and performed a C-section.

Thank you.

[doctor chuckles]

[doctor] It's a nice change
having some life here.

Some base personnel are gonna be coming by
to ask a few questions, security related.

I told them that you need your rest,

but they just need
to clear some things up.

[baby cries]

-[shushing]
-[baby fussing]

[doctor] Excuse me. I…

The base nurse should be in here.

[Georgia] I love you.

Yeah. Let's go say hi to Daddy.

Oh.

Come here. Give me your little hand.

Hi.

You wanna say hi to Daddy?

Oh, little man.

[mellow instrumental music playing]

[Sam] Been waiting for you, buddy.

I think we can all agree

that, in hindsight,

my plan to get us here
was a stunning success.

[laughs]

We're a wreck…

but we did it.

You haven't even seen
the worst part yet, G.

Okay, there's really not a funny way
to tell you this, but…

[sobs]

Oh, Sam.

It's all right.

Why'd they do this to you?

I was all smashed up.

It was the best they could do.

They said we'd know in a few days
if I'm gonna be okay,

but I just got to take it easy for now.

But soon as we get to Korea,

I'm for sure getting
some of those robot feet.

'Cause that definitely sounds safe.

[chuckles]

-Shh.
-Why are you so good?

Because it's what dads are supposed to be.

[Georgia chuckles]

[laughs]

Okay.

Forest.

[Georgia] Huh?

Forest.

Yeah.

He feels like Forest to me.

-What's your name?
-Georgia.

Olsen.

And his name?

Sam. Samuel Hoth.

And the guy who brought you here?

Arthur. I don't…

I don't know his last name.

-[soldier] So you came from?
-[Georgia] Central Mass.

Near the Quabbin.

We, uh,

we ended up making it to Philly
before we looped back up.

We were trying to get out of the country
with the Family Initiative.

We heard that they were still getting
people out of Boston. Is that true?

Yeah. They are.

-Can I speak with you about--
-Oh, we're not done.

-Okay.
-So how'd you meet the guy, Arthur?

Well, I guess I'll start with the--

We had to get across the no-man's-land.

And we didn't wanna risk
giving birth there.

So we found this dirt bike,
and we decided to use that to get across,

and we only got halfway
before we ran into some androids.

They separated us.

I hid, but they… they took Sam.

They took him? For what?

I don't know.

I mean, they just…

they took him.

They held him prisoner.
They had a… a house full of prisoners.

So how'd you meet this guy, Arthur?

He was in the woods when it happened. He…

-He saved me.
-How?

He took me back to his truck. And he…

Well, he helped me figure out a way
to get Sam out of the house, and so I…

I went in, and I got him.

You just walked in?

I mean, you probably saw it
on the truck already. But he…

Uh, he used to work at… Raster Robotics.

-He told you that?
-Yes.

So he… he was a…

um, a programmer, and he built this…

this armor, um, that

camouflages you from the androids.

It makes you invisible to them.

What?

You put it on, and it makes you
invisible to the androids.

He told you it makes you invisible?

[hesitates] He didn't just tell me.

I used it.

I went in, and I… and I went
into the house, and I wore it…

and they couldn't see me.

What?

What?

You just walked into the house,
and they couldn't see you?

Yes.

That technology doesn't exist.

Okay. Well…

I'm telling you that it does
because I wore it, and it worked.

And I'm telling you if that existed,
don't you think we'd be using it?

So you need to start straightening
this story out so it starts making sense.

What… happened out there?

[Arthur] Human beings are programmed
to have emotional connections.

Parents, spouses, children.

[sobbing] They're all dead.
They're all dead. They're all dead.

An android is expendable.

They don't have self-preservation,
and they'll sacrifice themselves

and others if it brings them
closer to their goal.

[distorted] They have strategy
like you wouldn't believe.

I think I made a mistake.

It's okay. Don't cry.
Be quiet. Mama's here.

Please be quiet.

[baby crying]

[grunting]

Yes!

[Arthur] I warned you.

What are you gonna do with that?

[voice breaking] They're all dead.

They're all dead.

[sobs] They're all dead.

They're all dead.

They're all dead. They're all dead.

They're all dead. They're all dead.

They're all dead. They're all dead.

[sobbing]

We were programmed to be emotive
to make you feel comfort.

Are you comfortable?

Boston's going down today.
You can't stop us now.

So,

are you gonna disable that EMP for me?

Or you going to make me k*ll your baby?

Oh my God.

Stop!

Stop!

Sam.

Take it.

-[camera shutter clicks]
-[motor whirring]

G.

[Georgia] Hmm.

We gotta move.

[explosions in distance]

[explosions in distance]

-[woman speaking Korean]
-[Georgia] Over here! Wait!

-Wait. Here!
-[gate rattling]

Please, over here.

[woman] He's going to scan you.
Do not move.

[beeping]

Remove.

I… I don't know what paperwork
you might need or…

We don't…
we don't have anything, but I just--

I'm sorry.

[Georgia] I… I know that
you only take the mothers.

I can only take the baby.

What?

Korea will only take the baby.
Not the parents.

Please.

-[woman] Sorry.
-[Georgia] You don't understand.

-Please. Please just--
-[woman] There's no space.

You can take us. It's only three of us.

I… I promise I will do anything.

-Please.
-[woman] Sorry.

-Please take us.
-[woman] It's not just the space.

You're another mouth to feed.

Another person to take care
for medical attention.

When you get to Korea,
you will need a job.

You will need a house. You see?

Please.

The baby is simple.

But you're not.

He's very ill.

[speaking Korean]

G.

I'm gonna make it work.
I'm gonna get us on the plane.

I'm gonna get us on the boat, I promise.

It's gonna be okay.

It's gonna be okay.

I don't think
I'm gonna pull through this, G.

Don't say that.

-We'll be fine.
-Just listen. Just listen to me.

G, if he stays here,

there's a good chance he'll die.

If he's out there,

there's a good chance he'll live.

Look at me, G.

I'm f*cked.

I'm bleeding out here.

I don't think
I'm fully pulling through this.

I can't protect you, G.

And you can't really protect him.
Not really.

This could be a good thing.

Let's give him a chance.

Yeah.

I love you, buddy.

[g*nf*re in distance]

Can I just have one minute?
Just one minute, please. Just…

Fill this out.

Thank you.
