what is he capable of?

Happy birthday, Martin.

I made this for you.

-Is this your little brother?

-Technically, no.

-He's Mecha.

-What's Mecha?

We're "org-anic" ...

...you're "mecha-anical."

Orga, Mecha.

Orga, Mecha.

Todd, stop!

I didn't know they even made kids.

Can you pee?

-I cannot.

-Let's see what you can't pee with.

Guys, come on.

Touch it.

It feels so real!

That's creepy.

-It feels so real!

-That is too real.

Mecha-real.

Does he have DAS?

-DAS what?

-Das ist gut!

Damage Avoidance System. DAS.

It's a pain-alert system.

Our serving man has it.

It's so they don't go picking up fire

with their hands.

Watch. Watch this.

I'm not gonna cut you.

This won't hurt.

I'm not gonna cut your skin.

Tell me when you feel it.

-Keep me safe, Martin.

-Let me go!

-Keep me safe, Martin.

-Let me go! Mom!

Mom!

Henry!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, he's not breathing!

Take a breath.

Cough it up. That's a great boy!

-Thank God!

-Call Frazier.

Get him out of the sun.

-Hey, David?

-Mommy!

I need to speak to you

for a minute, okay?

Okay.

These are beautiful.

Thank you.

I was thinking that we could go

for a drive tomorrow in the country.

You and me. What do you say?

-And Teddy?

-Yeah, and Teddy.

Thank you, Mommy.

Thank you so much.

Tomorrow's gonna be

just for us, okay?

Where are we going?

Someplace nice?

Are those happy tears?

What's for dinner tonight?

-You know you don't eat.

-Yes.

But I like sitting at the table.

David? David, I want--

David, listen.

Listen to me!

David, listen.

You won't understand the reasons...

...but I have to leave you here.

Is it a game?

No.

When will you come back for me?

I'm not. You'll have

to be here by yourself.

Alone?

With Teddy.

No.

No, no, no! No, Mommy, please!

-No, no. Please, Mommy.

-They would destroy you, David!

I'm sorry I broke myself,

I'm sorry I cut your hair...

...and I'm sorry I hurt Martin--

I have to go! I have to go!

Stop it!

Stop it!

-I have to go now.

-Mommy, don't! Mommy!

If Pinocchio became real and

I become real, can I come home?

-That's a story.

-But a story tells what happens.

Stories are not real!

You're not real!

Now, look.

Take this, all right?

Take this.

Don't let anyone see how much it is.

Look! Don't go that way. Go anywhere

but that way or they'll catch you.

Don't ever let them catch you!

Stay away from Flesh Fairs, away

from where there are lots of people.

Stay away from all people. Only others

like you, only Mecha are safe!

Why do you want to leave me? Why?

I'm sorry I'm not real. If you

let me, I'll be so real for you!

Let go. Let go, David.

Let go!

I'm sorry I didn't tell you

about the world.

I'm afraid.

-Of me?

-Yes.

That I will hurt you?

Yes.

I think...

...you're afraid of letting go.

I think you're afraid of happiness.

And this is starting to excite me.

Are you afraid of seeing the stars...

...Patricia?

I can show you how to reach them.

I'm afraid of what

you've got under there.

May I see what it looks like first?

Is this your first time...

...with something like me?

I've never been with Mecha.

That makes two of us.

I'm afraid it will hurt.

Patricia...

...once you've had a lover-robot...

...you'll never want a real man...

...again.

Are these the wounds of passion?

Do you hear that music?

You...

...are a goddess...

...Patricia.

You wind me up inside.

But you deserve much better

in your life.

You deserve...

...me.

-Hey, Joe, what do you know?

-Jane, how's the game?

-Hey, Joe, what do you know?

-Hello. Place a DND on room 102.

Sure thing.

There you are.

Oh, Joe.

When you're done, crack your collar,

show off your operating license.

The Flesh Fair is in Barn Creek and

the hounds are out hunting for strays.

-Good thing I ran into you. Thanks.

-Sure thing.

Mustn't keep a lady waiting.

Miss Bevins.

It's Joe.

At your service.

I've been counting the seconds

since last we met.

Have you been crying, Samantha?

I found a tear.

Hey, Joe, what do you know?

How many seconds has it been...

...the last time

you two were together?

Goodbye, Sam. And never forget:

You killed me first.

I'm in bad trouble.

If I am a real boy...

...then I can go back.

And she will love me then.

How?

The Blue Fairy made Pinocchio

into a real boy.

She can make me into a real boy.

I must find her.

I must become real.

There must be someone in the whole

world who knows where she lives.

Moon on the rise!

It's the Flesh Fair. They destroy us

on-stage. I've been there.

What do we do?

We run now.

Any old iron.

Any old iron.

Any old iron.

Any old iron.

Expel your Mecha!

Purge yourselves of artificiality.

Let some Mecha loose to run.

Any old unlicensed iron down there?

Hey, you see that?

Could be a human thing.

No, he's scanning cold.

No expiration date, no I.D.

-What's a new model doing loose?

-It's a late-generation lover-Mecha.

That's a relief from all this

antique iron. Sure he's not a man?

I don't want another Trenton incident.

He's a free-range Mecha running hot.

Reel him in!

Sic the hounds on the rest.

Shake down shantytown!

What's your name?

My name is David.

Hello, David. How old are you?

I don't know.

You need someone to take care of you?

Would you like a nanny?

I have many good references.

Do you know where

the Blue Fairy lives?

Let out the line.

Steady your drift.

Open the lower hold.

Don't be afraid, David.

I'll break, David.

Hello!

Anybody lose this?

Hello!

This your dog?

Take it to lost and found.

Lost and found!

-Do you know David?

-Where's the "off" switch?

Where's David?

Can you help me find David?

I have to find David.

Are you taking me to David?

Could you shoot me

over the propeller?

I don't need to go through it.

I changed my mind.

Gentlemen, start your engines!

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

Seven!

Six!

Five!

Four!

Three!

Two!

One!

What about us?

What about us?

We are alive...

...and this is a celebration of life!

And this is commitment...

...to a truly human future!

-What's your name?

-Hello, Teddy.

Hello, David.

Take it!

Take it.

-Biker hounds rolling.

-Cue biker hound.

-Papa!

-Amanda, go outside. It's smoky here.

There's a boy in the cage.

-What did you say?

-There's a boy in the cage.

-A boy?

-A real boy. He's stuck in the cage.

-In the pen, honey?

-In the jail place.

-Crowd reaction....

-We got a remote near the pigpen?

Bring it up. Let me see

what she's talking about.

-What are you looking for?

-She says she saw a boy in there.

-How do you know about this?

-The bear told me.

I told her.

Would you be so kind

and shut down my pain receivers?

Why is this happening?

History repeats itself.

It's the rite of blood

and electricity.

When the opportunities avail

themselves, they pick away at us...

...cutting back our numbers so they

can maintain numerical superiority.

My time, is it up already?

Goodbye, everyone.

-Keep me safe, keep me safe!

-Not yet. They just want him.
