"Molly:" "I went to space on a 13-month solo mission." "I didn't come home alone." "My husband created a lifelike android called a humanich." "His name is ethan." "He's the prototype." "This is a story about earth." "Ethan!" "A story about family." "A story about surviving." "Previously on extant:" "John:" "Ethan suddenly speaks japanese." "(speaks japanese) wow." "Human beings can't learn a language" "In a single day, so ethan" "Shouldn't be able to, either." "I think we should install" "Some sort of governing mechanism." "But that goes against everything you've ever said." "You're good." "I'm odin." "You want to come in?" "Next time." "Odin:" "We have lost" "Our souls to machines." "We need a reckoning." "Starting right here." "(groans)" "Sparks:" "With your prints," "He stole the aruna transmission file." "Dad, I'm gonna die up here." "Molly:" "What kind of father" "Sends his daughter into harm's way like that, alan?" "Katie:" "Dad?" "Katie." "What do you want?" "I want to know where my baby is." "I'll find it." "Guard:" "Security breach." "Code black." "Molly woods is in the building." "Have security forces been mobilized?" "Yes." "(shouts, grunts)" "(shouts) shh!" "It's me." "You can go with them" "Or you can come with me." "Your choice." "Kryger?" "Go, go, go." "(tires screeching)" "Gina, oasis mode." "Windows on seclude." "How do you know they didn't follow us here?" "Because I'd know if we were seen, and it's" "My job to activate a team to follow you." "No, we got away clean." "We're safe here." "You can trust me." "You want me to trust you?" "Tell me everything." "The truth." "From your party, you were right to run to vaspar." "He was bringing you in to extract the offspring." "The offspring?" "That's what we call it." "When you fled, we had to improvise." "Sparks may seem like the man in charge," "But I think there's somebody else" "Who's pulling the strings," "Somebody outside the isea." "Who?" "I don't know." "But whoever he is, he outfitted the hospital ship" "With a surgical team." "They erased all the evidence" "Of your pregnancy, and then" "They put you back on the island." "And ethan?" "He was used to lure you into the woods." "And the baby?" "It's alive?" "It's a he." "(exhales)" "¶ I don't trust nobody" "¶ I don't love nobody" "¶ I don't trust nobody" "¶ I won't kill nobody" "¶ for anyone but you... (knocking)" "(music stops)" "You're lucky, odin." "I don't usually let in handsome foreigners" "Until after 2:00." "John?" "Why did you do it?" "Do what?" "Reset ethan's access protocols." "What are you talking about?" "You've been against" "The idea of installing governors I-in ethan" "Since I brought it up." "Now all of a sudden I can't get in?" "Wait." "So, you actually tried to slow him down" "And he blocked your access?" "No, no, no, no." "You blocked my access." "Okay, I may not agree with" "Intentionally limiting his natural development," "But I would not go behind your back to stop you." "Wow." "I guess you thought I would." "But h-how would he even do it?" "I mean, we-we built in safeguards" "To prevent him from interfering with the coding process." "I don't know." "Why would the most advanced ai on the planet" "Stop you from hobbling his mind?" "I didn't mean to..." "Are you alone?" "What if I'm not?" "I should go." "Yeah." "Kern:" "He's in an artificial womb" "About 20 floors below where you were poking around." "It's not gonna be a baby for long." "It's growing fast." "They're treating an alien intelligence far beyond" "Our comprehension like a lab rat." "Molly," "I know what you're thinking." "You are not its mother;" "you were its host." "He sent me a message tonight." "He scattered a flock of birds in-in the shape of the pattern." "It's trying to speak to us." "And it wants to communicate through you." "Kryger:" "I'm sorry." "It made me flush my mother into space." "It ain't the baby jesus." "Whatever he is, I brought him here." "And I'm gonna get him out." "Kern:" "You think you're getting back" "Into that building after what happened today?" "It's impossible." "If sparks is running a rogue operation," "Just go to the isea and tell them." "Tell them what?" "Without proof of the baby, we got nothing." "We have the aruna file." "They killed derek pearce because I sent him an e-mail." "What do you think will happen if I go in there with just" "My story and the aruna file?" "What choice do we have, huh?" "Sparks reports to the board." "You walk into the morning meeting, you play them the file." "They can't all be in on it." "And what if" "Sparks buries the truth of the baby before they see it?" "They're never gonna know what he did." "But it'll be over." "And we'll be safe." "Hey, hold up." "You don't believe this, do you?" "That this-this thing is trying to communicate with molly?" "It chose her for a reason." "But the way it's being treated," "That may change everything." "I was an air force mp" "All the way through second korea." "I was stationed in all kinds of hellholes" "Across this rock, and there is one thing" "That has never changed:" "If you lock someone in a box" "Who doesn't belong there," "He's got a lot to say when you finally let him out." "Sparks is going about this the wrong way." "He's gonna get a lot of people hurt." "You don't have to convince me." "I almost got my ticket punched." "I never intended on killing you." "Well, you could've fooled me." "No one's stopping you from walking." "And leave you alone with molly?" "Hell no." "Right now she is the only friend I have on this planet." "And this whole switching sides thing seems rather convenient." "Maybe I stick around to make sure you don't pull another 180." "Your call." "But you can trust me." "No offense, but the only person I trust is me at this point." "(whirring)" "Claypool has been compromised." "Molly woods breached the upper floor" "And managed to escape." "How is this possible?" "I don't know." "But with her getting this close," "I believe the entire operation is at risk." "I also believe" "That it's time to eliminate that risk." "For so long," "You've wanted to protect her," "And now..." "Molly's a very smart woman." "She's a viable threat to the offspring." "But she is its mother." "There could be consequences if we eliminate her." "We must ensure its continued growth." "Even at the risk of being discovered?" "It's a risk we must manage." "I'm dying, alan." "The substance that sustains me" "Has nearly been exhausted." "Despite my best efforts," "I have failed to reproduce it." "We could do another mission." "We could learn from the mistakes" "We made with the aruna." "Why send another mining expedition when we have" "In our possession perhaps something more valuable?" "Billions were spent locating the source of the substance," "And we encounter the entity in the same location?" "It can't be coincidence." "It's all the more reason to protect it." "Yes, there are many reasons." "You yourself have one." "Sir?" "I've seen the surveillance footage." "At first, it was difficult to understand" "What was happening." "But it became clear" "You were able to see katie." "That she had come back to life for you." "What a wonderful gift you've been given." "What is it like?" "A miracle." "I can only imagine." "I need the offspring" "To stay alive." "You need it to have a reason to live." "What would you like for me to do, sir?" "Relocate the offspring" "To the contingency site immediately." "But molly woods is not to be harmed." "When we know the offspring has no use for its mother," "You can do what you wish." "Place call." "(soft chime)" "Anya sparks." "Alan?" "Alan, what's wrong?" "Nothing." "I just needed to talk." "Oh, you know, it's-it's late." "It's just I was thinking of katie." "You're the only one in the world who understands." "I understand that" "Calling me makes you feel better." "I do." "But it just makes me feel worse." "If katie was..." "We'd still be together." "A family." "But she's not." "That's not gonna change." "Good night, alan." "¶" "You sure you don't want me to come with you" "To the board meeting?" "Nope." "I've worked for the isea for almost 20 years now, and..." "You know, what we have should be enough." "I'm sorry, molly." "It wasn't just the baby they took from you." "They took everything." "Space." "The stars." "Not everything." "(quiet laugh)" "Yes." "We still have breakfast." "I got your message about ethan's governors." "I think you're making a mistake." "Well, it's a moot point." "He locked me out." "I don't understand." "Well, that makes two of us." "I've lost all access to ethan's neuralnet." "How is that even possible?" "I have no idea." "Ethan." "Breakfast." "I checked his room." "He's not up there." "Thought he was down here." "No?" "Ethan?" "His bike is gone." "Where's he going?" "He's at the park." "I'll get him." "You go do what you got to do." "Okay." "¶" "Check this out." "(beeping)" "(boys laughing)" "Ah, yeah." "All right." "Yeah!" "Nice bike." "Thanks." "My dad gave it to me." "You live around here?" "No." "I live a few miles that way." "Oh," "So you came here to give us your bike?" "No." "I came to ride." "I like to ride." "Hope you like to walk, loser." "Hey!" "(short cackle)" "You want some more?" "Ethan." "Hey." "Thank god." "What happened?" "Let me see." "Did you fall off the bike?" "No." "Then what?" "I told you last night" "You can't just go riding off" "On your own like that." "What were you thinking?" "I don't know." "I just wanted to explore." "We need to get you back to the lab." "Come on." "Damage detected." "Please contact the nearest maintenance facility" "At your earliest convenience." "I want to take him home." "It's a busted-up sweeper bot." "It doesn't work anymore." "I want to take it." "Kern:" "By the time I got to claypool, the team had already" "Let her slip away." "They executed the containment scenario." "She just got the better of us." "We're abandoning claypool." "Sir?" "Tonight." "We're moving the offspring to the contingency site." "The teams know what to do." "Yes, sir." "And, gordon..." "Taking into account last night's break-in," "Our investor would like that security threat eliminated" "Before we move the offspring." "I thought you convinced him" "That she might be necessary." "She crossed the line." "We can't take any more chances." "Come with me." "They're moving the offspring." "We don't have to go in." "They're bringing it out." "Tonight." "We can get him?" "The truck carrying the mobile incubator" "Will be heavily guarded." "But if all goes to plan" "If we can pull this off-- we'll have a few hours" "To get the offspring to the isea." "I'm sorry, but the word "offspring" just..." "It-it feels so..." "Alien." "Look, I don't know how we..." "Astronauts" "Are gonna pull off a truck heist without..." "There's a vulnerability" "In claypool's infrastructure." "I'll detonate an explosive on the main transformer" "As soon as the offspring truck is clear of the building." "With the power cut," "The system will drop the garage gates to protect the building." "We can then split the truck off from its security convoy." "Okay, what about the guys driving the trucks?" "We'll neutralize them." "Oh, we're neutralizing now, are we?" "We're not." "I am." "Can you drive a truck?" "Yeah." "Then worry about that." "The rest is on me." "No, well, we're all at risk here." "Sparks gave me an order to kill you before they move it." "This is our only chance." "Okay, rabbit, let's fix you." "So, they just grabbed your bike for no reason?" "I could have stopped them if I was stronger." "Don't move." "Don't be so hard on yourself." "It was two against one." "I should be stronger." "Service bot:" "Damage detected." "Please contact the nearest maintenance facility" "At your earliest convenience." "(whirring)" "They were hurting the bot." "Seriously, if you keep moving, I'm gonna turn your mouth off." "Can you help me fix him?" "Got my hands full" "Fixing you." "Are they gonna throw him away?" "He looks pretty beat up." "I don't think he's able to perform his function anymore." "What's my function?" "We made you..." "So that you could find your own function." "That's why you're special." "Nobody wakes up on this planet and knows their purpose." "But I'm sure you'll find yours." "He's come a long way since then." "(sighs)" "I'm sorry." "For accusing me of locking you out of ethan," "Or for barging into my apartment in the middle of the night?" "You choose." "You shouldn't fret" "Over ethan rebelling against his programmer." "You wanted a kid, you got one." "It doesn't concern you" "We no longer have access to his programming?" "I can't speak to your concerns as a parent," "But..." "We set out" "To create a machine that approximated a human," "And he just asked me what his function is." "Ethan is questioning his own existence, john." "It doesn't get much more human than that." "Hey, sorry I missed the facial lesions." "John said little man was a trooper." "He was much more than that." "He's changing, charlie." "He's thinking about things" "Not just processing, but thinking." "(laughs) hooray!" "We're making a neurotic." "That seems like cause for celebration." "You want to get a drink, or we can eat some food?" "You eat?" "Of course you eat." "I mean, you hungry?" "Look at me:" "I'm thinking." "I'm actually meeting someone." "Orion?" "Odin." "You've been spending a lot of time" "With this all-father of the gods." "What do you actually know about this guy?" "I know he minds his own business." "Yeah, but I bet if you ran a search on him," "Mr. Perfect wouldn't seem so perfect." "You ran a search on him?" "I mean, if I did, I'd just be looking out for you." "If you did, it wouldn't feel that way." "What's happening in there?" "My transport team was prepping for extraction when" "The incubator developed a leak." "The cloud appears to be generating on its own" "From inside the containment chamber." "Get inside and find out what's going on." "(mechanical hissing)" "(beeping)" "Engage manual override." "(chirping)" "(whooshing)" "(door whooshes shut)" "I'm a few steps in." "Visibility is limited." "The source of the leak is not immediately apparent." "It's a particulate emission of some sort." "There's a similar substance adhering to the walls." "I've got a sample." "I'm moving towards the tank." "It's definitely the source." "I can't make out the leak." "Sir, you're not going to believe this." "(alarm sounding)" "What's happening?" "Offspring heart rate dropping." "Respiration, too." "Revive team, move in!" "Revive team, hold." "Heart rate right at 60 bpm." "Davis, report." "Davis?" "Did we lose comms?" "No, sir." "Comms are good." "Davis isn't responding." "Dr. Davis?" "Dr. Davis?" "(beep, whoosh)" "We have a problem." "Service bot:" "I appear to be outside my designated service area." "Turn the lights on, will you?" "Why can't we fix him now?" "It's bedtime." "I'm not tired." "I want to fix him." "It's not up to you, ethan." "We'll fix him in the morning." "I appear to be outside my designated service area." "Why'd you do that?" "He needs our help." "Lights." "Inside." "Molly:" "Okay, five minutes." "Kryger:" "You ever hijack a truck?" "No." "But I have docked a spaceship." "Same diff." "They called off everything." "They're not moving the offspring." "Why?" "Something happened to it, or is happening to it," "But they never got it to the mobile unit." "Okay, now what?" "We're scrubbing this." "No!" "It can't be over!" "You heard the man." "We're finished, we're done." "No, we're not." "Maybe I can get you down there." "What?" "I'm sorry, didn't you say that was impossible?" "We still have a honey bomb on the main transformer." "I can blow it." "I can use the threat to clear the lab." "Let's just shoot each other here" "A-and save them the trouble." "Let's..." "Just let him talk." "The ir defenses" "Will go dark on the outside." "I can override a service door." "The first floor camera system reboots in sectors," "From the outside in." "If you can stay ahead of the reboot," "You'll be able to move undetected" "To the central elevator that serves the lab." "It runs on its own power." "And you won't be able to call it" "If you're not authorized," "So I'll get to security," "I'll send it up." "No way." "This is suicide." "Even if we do get down there, how are we gonna" "Bring the offspring up?" "Tupperware?" "We're not bringing it up, are we?" "I need to see him." "I need to know what he's trying to say to me." "You don't have to go." "Molly, you remember what it did to both of us up there." "Do you really..." "Do you really want to go through that again?" "I can't walk away now." "Screw it." "Screw it, I'm already dead." "If you go, I go." "Okay." "Good." "I need a minute, okay?" "Molly?" "Take your shoes off and go get ready for bed." "We'll be in to check on you in a minute." "Molly?" "Gina, lock up for the night, please." "Gina:" "Doors locked." "Hey, shoes." "Why?" "It's been a long day, ethan." "You want me to take" "My shoes off because it's been a long day?" "I want you to take your shoes off because they're muddy, okay?" "Molly?" "(chiming)" "John, I'm sorry this is a message," "But if I heard your voice, I don't think I could say this." "I can't let it go." "I don't expect you to understand that." "Molly?" "Molly:" "But if I don't come back," "In time, I hope that you'll realize that I didn't" "Have a choice." "And please don't come after me." "I don't want to risk ethan losing both of us." "Molly?" "I love you." "Bye." "Gina:" "Incoming v-chron from molly." "John, I'm sorry this is a message." "But if I don't come back," "In time, I hope that you'll realize" "That I didn't have a choice." "And don't come after me." "I don't want to risk" "Ethan losing both of us." "I love you." "Bye." "Let's do it." "Thanks for coming on such short notice." "We had just finished dinner when you called." "Uh, I hope you don't mind." "This..." "Odin," "John." "John, odin." "John:" "Hey." "Uh..." "Hey, sorry if I ruined your plans." "Not at all." "Glad we could help out." "What's going on?" "Uh..." "It's, uh..." "Molly." "I-I..." "I think she's in a tough situation." "It's okay." "Go." "Do what you need to do." "If anything suspicious happens, just call the police, okay?" "Uh, okay." "Ethan:" "Dad?" "Hey." "There's nothing to worry about." "Julie and her friend are gonna stay here" "Till I come back, okay?" "Is this about mom?" "No." "No." "Don't worry." "Just-just go back to bed." "Hey." "It'll be okay." "Thank you." "Of course." "Hey." "Remember odin?" "Molly:" "Here, put this on." "What's happening?" "The camera kern mounted picks up" "Their infrared security." "All seems quiet." "(beeping)" "Security's down." "Let's go." "What the hell is going on?" "20 seconds to sector two." "My guys say the main power transformer overloaded" "And exploded." "Check it out." "I want to know exactly what happened." "And find me kern." "(whirring)" "Here we go." "Sector one's back." "Emergency protocol." "This is not a drill." "We have five minutes to evacuate." "Sir." "Director sparks needs to see you right now." "I'm gonna take him." "Stick to the plan." "Nowak, get upstairs." "Where have you been?" "Dealing with molly woods." "She's been" "Taken care of." "It's not here." "We can't wait." "Come on." "Wait, wait, wait." "What are you doing?" "Getting us a ride." "I have his prints." "How do you know the room is clear?" "Would you rather stay here?" "Kern:" "Fire's spreading." "You should evacuate with the others." "I'm not leaving." "If this fire gets out of control, we're gonna want" "To put as much space between us and this" "Before the hook and ladders show up." "Kryger:" "You okay?" "Yeah." "Are you sure you're ready to meet this thing?" "I'm ready." "Thanks for coming with me." "Just remember not to trust anything you see down there." "You won't know what's real or not." "Don't worry." "I'm real." "Sir, we need to move." "Okay, let's go." "(elevator beeping)" "I thought we were evacuating." "Who's coming down?" "Gordon kern." "We're not going anywhere." "(sighs)" "They cut the power." "Kern." "We're out of here." "He doesn't move." "I trusted you, gordon." "You're making a huge mistake." "Perhaps." "But you made an even greater one." "Fan out." "This is your target." "Here, take my hand!" "(movement outside)" "(movement nearby)" "¶" "(gunfire)" "Molly!" "Are you okay?" "Yeah." "What the hell's going on down there?" "Oh, my god." "¶" "(gunfire)" "Why...?" "I'm s..." "I'm sorry, molly." "I couldn't let that thing live." "Where is it?" "Where did it go?" "Kern:" "Molly, if you can hear this," "Get the hell out!" "Molly?" "I didn't want it to end like this." "I lost katie once." "I can't lose her again." "No." "No." "I'm sorry, molly." "No..." "(crying)" "No." "Oh, no, no, no, no." "Katie." "No, wait, katie." "Oh, katie." "Oh..." "No!" "Katie." "(movement nearby)" "Dad." "He needs our help." "Captioning sponsored by cbs" "Captioned by media access group at wgbh access.Wgbh.Org"
