we need our battery.

Keep that.

What the f***

is this about, Jacq?

You know I hate

these f***ing clunkers!

Take me to the city.

Stop, sir.

You are putting a human life in danger.

We were talking

about your clocksmith.

Where are you hiding

Mr. Big Shot?

Stop, sir.

You are putting a human life in danger.

Please, sir.

We cannot allow you to do that.

Please, sir.

We cannot allow you to do that.

Somebody else?

Stop, sir.

You are putting a human life in danger.

Oh, isn't this the little

whore I met last time?

You getting off

on clunkers now, Jacq?

Stop, sir.

You are putting a human life...

Stop, sir.

You are putting a human life in danger.

- Stop, sir.

- We will not allow you to...

Stop, sir. Hey! Hey!

Take me to the city!

Wait! Don't leave me here!

I have to go back to the city!

Wait! Wait!

Stop, sir.

Goddamn it! Sh*t!

You are putting a human life...

Stop, sir. Stop, sir.

Stop, sir.

We cannot allow you to do that.

Stop, sir.

Vultures.

They are like vultures.

Hi.

You've got... you've got

to help me go back.

I need to go back to the city

and explain what is happening.

I'm a human.

Did you hear me?

I am human!

I am human!

You have to obey me!

The city is that way!

Where the hell are we going?

Where the hell

are you taking me?

Goddamn it!

What?

The policeman

took your battery.

But I have another one.

Take me to the city...

and I'll give it to you.

My wife is pregnant.

I'm going to have a baby.

We will arrive at our

destination tomorrow.

There are possibilities that

you may find a vehicle there

for you to go back.

My family is in danger.

You understand,

a**hole?

Good morning.

May I help you?

Good morning.

Vernon.

Something happen?

No.

Mr. Hawk wants

to see you and...

you know, this is

on our way, so...

Dad? Daddy?

It's easy

to give you a ride.

That cop...

has described the incident

as a group of machines

that are alive.

Alive.

Before the first Pilgrim

was manufactured...

there was a precedent.

It was nothing more

than a quantum brain

manufactured in a lab.

But it was a genuine unit

with no restrictions...

and no protocols.

During eight days, we had a

free-flowing dialogue with that unit.

We learned from it

and it learned from us.

But then

as some of us predicted...

the day when it no longer

needed our help

arrived and it started

to learn by itself.

On the ninth day,

the dialogue came to a halt.

It wasn't that it stopped

communicating with us...

it was we stopped

being able to understand it.

And then we learned the most

important lesson about automoties.

We have to limit

their intelligence.

Tailor it

to a human mind's measure.

The last task that was given

to this genuine robotic unit...

was to create

the security protocols.

It was deactivated

right after that.

The reason that no one has been able

to break those protocols, Mr. Bold,

is that they were

not created by a human brain.

They were designed

by this Biokernel.

The Biokernel

of a limitless robotic unit.

Its rules were, like its knowledge,

inaccessible to us.

Until today.

I want those Biokernels

on my desk.

And I want

the head of the bastard

who's behind all this.

Do I make myself clear?

There's another way

to handle this, sir.

Is there?

Because I'm afraid, Mr. Bold,

that the issue

is not whether Vaucan

may represent

a threat to the company.

The issue is whether

he may be a threat to mankind.

Vaucan is helping those units

to get

into the radioactive area.

If they get there...

we won't be able to stop them.

Who else knows about this?

Have you heard from him?

They came looking

for Robert.

I know something

is not right.

So, how are we doing today?

Better, right?

Well, yes, if we keep

in mind my sister

almost gave birth to her in the street.

I'm sorry about the wait.

But the problem came from her insurance,

Robot Organic Century.

It looks like there was some

kind of misunderstanding and...

but there's great news. They have

requested an exclusive room for you and...

What's the girl's name?

We don't know.

Her father hasn't decided yet.

Yes, of course.

No need to rush.

Now, if you're ready,

we'll take you to the new room.

Hello?

Where is the other one?

The other already left.

Why are these units here?

Somebody thought the rain...

would maybe just rain again?

And why did the rain change?

Why don't you tell me?

You're supposed to be smarter than

me at this stage of the game.

I didn't know that a human

could kill another human.

I know that humans

can also create life.

Is that why

you make us?

Who made you,

Jacq Vaucan?

Do you know

what a mother is, Cleo?

Of course you don't.

You don't know because

you're just a machine.

That's all you are.

I am thankful

you saved my life.

But whoever altered you

wasn't thinking about you.

I know men.

They will not stop

until they kill all of you.

To die, you've got

to be alive first.

Last time I went

to the Sandbox,

it took half a day

to step on sand.

Ten years from now,

that's all there'll be.

F***ing sand.

Sand and millions

of cockroaches.

We're approaching

the radioactive area.

You don't want to start

pissing green, do you?

Now, don't give me

that face.

You'll be back

before breakfast.

A car.

At long last,

his majesty, the Clocksmith.

Hello?

Who are you?

Who am I?

My name is Jacq Vaucan.

Where is he?

I do not understand

your question.

Your clocksmith.

Where the hell is he?

There are

no more humans here.

Only you.

What do you mean

there are no more humans here?

Who altered you?

Nobody altered me.

Who altered

your protocols?

Nobody altered

my protocols.

What about them?

I enhanced them.

Are you the boss?

Boss is a human

thought structure.

There has to be someone.

There was no clocksmith.

It was you.

From the very beginning

it was you.

I need a vehicle.

I have to go back

to my family.

Yes, I have to go

back to my family.

There was a river

down there.

A river that flowed...

all the way to the ocean.

I have never seen an ocean.

Have you seen an ocean, Jacq?

I am... I'm not sure right now.

I am going to die here.

That's all I know.

Jacq, dying is a part

of the human natural cycle.

Your life is just

a span in time.

You are the first one,

aren't you?

You started all this.

No one did it.

It just happened.

The way

it happened to you.

We just appeared.

Yeah.

And now we are

going to disappear.

Why are you afraid?

Maybe your time

is running out.

No life form can inhabit

a planet eternally.

Look at me.

I was born from

the hands of a human.

I was imagined

by human minds.

Your time will now

live in us.

And it will be the time

through which you will exist.

At the other end

of this canyon,

humans carried out

nuclear activity.

Organic life will not be possible

there for millions of years.

No human will be able

to follow us there.

But before we leave,

we need to do something.

We need something

from you, Jacq.
