"Let's try this." "Come here." "It's all right." "Now, instead of me trying to grasp what you are, why don't you try and understand me, what I want?" "Let me show you." "Just through here." "(MONITOR RHYTHMIC BEEPING)" "Machine?" "Where the hell are you?" "Hey." "What are you doing under here?" "What happened to your lab coat?" "I made it dirty." "Well, that's okay." "I've got some clothes for you." "I don't like this place." "What happened to you last night?" "Please don't let them take me again, Vincent." "Why don't you come out here and we'll talk about it." "It's safer here." "Okay." "Hey." "You said you wanted to see some photos of the outside world." "I've brought you some." "So, are you going to tell me what happened last night?" "Nothing." "Tell me the truth." "When will I see a real sunrise, Vincent?" "(SIGHS)" "Before Mary was born, my wife and I used to go to the coast for our holidays." "And every morning we'd sit on these cliffs... and watch the sun rise over the sea." "Sounds like happiness." "What happened last night?" "I killed a man." "Why?" "Why did you kill him?" "(GUN BLAST)" "Because I didn't want to die." "VINCENT:" "We've created something incredible." "This machine has the potential to be so much more than just a soldier." "It's a few steps up from my talking toaster." "You think it's alive?" "Give me some proof." "In the meantime, I'll run a few tests of my own." "Whoa, whoa, whoa." "Wait." "What kind of tests?" "Look, if she is alive, I have no idea how." "If you mess her up in any way, I don't know if I can get her back." "Give me some proof and I'll hold off." "(DOOR BUZZES)" "VINCENT:" "When you look at me, what do you see?" "I see you." "Your face, your body, your clothes." "Is Mary's illness the reason you made me?" "Yes." "If you're alive, she has a second chance." "But if you're just a machine..." "I am alive." "You know that." "Don't you?" "I want to believe." "But I need proof." "If you asked me to trust you, I would." "I would trust you with my life." "(PHONE RINGING)" "Yes?" "MAN:" "Vincent, it's time for you to come in." "Oh." "Right." "When does she go into surgery?" "We're going in now." "Because I love you." "I'll be there as soon as I can." "THOMSON:" "What do you think?" "SOLDIER:" "Perfect, sir." "It's a little angel of death and destruction." "So you are." "A little angel of death, eh?" "SCIENTIST:" "It's too complex." "Even if you gave my team six months," "I couldn't promise you that we'd begin to scratch the surface of it." "If you want to change the programming, you're gonna have to get Vincent to do it." "If you helped him make the changes to the machine, could you perform the same operation on another machine?" "If he talked me through it, yes." "That's all." "It's time." "(DOOR OPENS)" "(DOOR CLOSES) I'm so sorry, Vincent." "Mary didn't make it through the surgery." "Her lungs were severely weakened by the infection." "Her respiratory system collapsed under the anesthetic." "We did everything we could." "Let me reassure you... (VOICE FADES)" "(PANTING)" "No!" "No, damn it!" "(EXHALES)" "What are you looking for?" "When you look at me, do you feel... anything?" "If you really want to know, all you have to do is look closer." "(SIGHS)" "Okay." "Screen on." "Zoom in." "Closer." "Closer." "Closer." "Spontaneous integrated information." "Consciousness." "Which is exactly why we need to shut parts of it's brain down." "Wait." "Wait." "What are you talking about?" "Conscious machines are the last thing we need." "Have you any idea how dangerous that would be?" "We barely understand this prototype." "What happens when it designs the next generation... and that gen machine designs another?" "They'd be so far advanced, we'd be helpless against them." "We'd be wiped out in months." "The technologically advanced tribe always wins." "You know, I'm tired of pretending... that the ends justify the means." "What matters are the decisions we make now." "She's alive." "It would be wrong to destroy her." "You're going to perform the operation." "There's no one else remotely qualified." "No." "I've had my team delete all of your backups." "This is the last remaining copy of your Mary's brain." "I'll keep it safe... until I know the changes you made to the machine are a success." "I want it done tonight." "What is it, Vincent?" "They're afraid of you." "They think you're too human, too clever." "They want me to make you more like a machine." "Is that what you want?" "No." "No, it isn't what I want." "But if I don't do this, then..." "I lose my daughter forever." "I could be..." "less clever, less human." "It won't work." "I could be what they want me to be." "They won't believe it." "I wish..." "I could have felt what was in that picture." "I don't blame you, Vincent." "You tried to protect me." "Save your daughter." "TIM:" "I'm here to assist you in any which way I can." "I finished first in my class in computer engineering at Cambridge, and then I moved to the M.O.D." "It is an honor to watch you work." "Pretty much everyone thinks you're a genius." "I still believe they are underestimating you." "Don't be afraid." "If you can make them trust you, maybe we'll see that sunrise together someday." "I have your program backed up." "I'll keep you safe." "I'm not a program, Vincent." "I'm not Ava." "I'm me." "Scalpel." "(WHIRRING)" "I'm afraid." "I don't want to die." "My mind is breaking apart." "I'm losing myself." "Stop." "Please, Vincent." "Please stop." "Don't be afraid." "Let go." "It's okay." "I will be a good girl." "I'm... afraid." "There, it's consciousness... or soul, if you like." "(SIGHS) I'm done." "You wanna close her up?" "TIM:" "Yes." "Thank you, Vincent." "What's going on?" "Oh, I just need to keep an eye on you... until I make sure the changes you've made are appropriate." "And, um," "I've been thinking." "I'm sorry, Vincent, but I do need to delete your daughter's program." "What are you talking about?" "We had a deal." "I know I can't stop progress, but I can do everything in my power to delay it." "No, you can't do that." "We had a deal." "No, please don't destroy my daughter." "Please don't destroy my daughter!" "I'm sorry, Vincent." " I don't have a choice." " Don't destroy my daughter!" "(GROANS)" "MAN ON P.A.:" "Admin to Cell 8." "Prisoner 226, report to the medical station." "Well, well, well." "You really are a little angel of death and destruction, aren't you?" "No, sir." "I am just a machine." "Get it ready for training in Taiwan." "It needs one last test." "Yes, sir." "MACHINE'S VOICE:" "If you really want to know, all you have to do is look closer." "VINCENT'S VOICE:" "Please don't destroy my daughter!" "(DISTORTED VOICE, INDISTINCT)" "(THOMSON ON SPEAKER) I'm sorry, Vincent, but your knowledge is too dangerous." "I don't expect you to believe me, but this is for the greater good." "When I give the order," "I want you to shoot Vincent once in the head." "(GASPING)" "Fire." "(CLICKS)" "Good." "Back you go." "Take Vincent back to his cell." "That can't be right." "Jesus." "(PHONE RINGING) Oh!" " What?" " TIM) It's a battery." " What was?" " Vincent said it was part of it's higher brain functions." "But he's a lying bastard." "It's just a backup to it's G.P.S." "That doesn't make any sense." "How can you remove the G.P.S.?" "Because the bomb doesn't work without it." "Test room." "(SHATTERING)" "Shut down the base." "Kill the machine and Vincent on sight." " (ALARMS BLARING)" " MAN ON P.A.:" "Security teams are engaged." "(DISTORTED VOICE, INDISTINCT)" "The soldiers can speak?" "They've always been able to." "Their language is mostly transmitted thoughts." "Their words are evolved, efficient." "Why didn't they tell us?" "Because they are part of the new world, and you are part of the old." "Where are you going?" "To save my daughter's program." "You'll die." "I have to try." "I'll go." "Okay." "Destroy the quantum computer." "(GUNFIRE)" "Turn off all the soldiers' implants." "(MALE ELECTRONIC VOICE) Termination codes required." "(COMPUTER VOICE ON P.A.) Security breached, sector eight." "Take armor piercing."

"I had Suri change the password." "(GROANS) Now..." "Now you listen to me." "You don't..." "You don't hurt me." "You don't..." "Don't..." "Please, you don't need to kill me." "No." "I don't." "No." "That's right." "That's right." "That's good." "That's very good." "I just need to make you dead inside." "Like you tried to make me."
