Chappie Page #2

I'm in prison or what?

We'll get your money.

Maybe I come to your secret place

in Soweto.

I come there with the fellows.

I take what I want.

It's cool. One week.

Seven days!

- They didn't catch that poes.

- What?

He knows where we live.

We got a week to come up

with his money.

How are we gonna do that?

Come on, that's ridiculous.

We need one final job.

I'm talking about serious cash.

Five hundred million rand. Okay?

We pay that animal.

We pocket the rest.

And we get out

while we still can. Boom.

What are you getting on about,

a bank job?

No.

- Cash in transit.

- What?

- That's what?

- A heist, Yo-Landi.

The droids are gonna come down

on our asses, okay?

- They'll hit us harder.

- It's true.

Guys, we need, like, a remote.

- Like a switch.

- What? Excuse me?

Okay, the robots are

like machines, right?

Like a TV.

So if we had a remote

to switch it off...

That's brilliant.

We need to find the guy who makes

the robots and steal his remotes.

Dexter?

Hello, Deon. Welcome home.

- Have you been a good boy today?

- Yes, Deon.

- Yeah? Did you clean my room?

- Your room has been sterilized.

Nice.

Are you working on your artificial

intelligence programme tonight?

- Yes.

- I will activate the kettle.

Okay.

Hello again.

So it's day 944.

I'm extremely close now.

There's always chance of error,

I'm aware of this.

But statistically speaking,

I think I might be on track.

I have several terabytes

of compiling and coding to do...

...and then we shall see.

All right? See you in a bit.

- Look. That's the motherf***er.

- Him?

Dude, it's gonna be so easy.

We need those remotes, my man.

We need those remotes.

Red Bull!

Yes, Deon.

Red Bull.

Okay.

Come on.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah.

What if you change the...?

- It's stable.

- Is everything okay?

It's stable.

My God.

I think I've cracked it.

Of course, to really know,

I must test it on a live system.

I must test it.

All right.

Sorry, sorry, sorry.

Hey. Hey!

- Hey. Where's the Scout?

- How's it, sir? What?

- The Scout, man, 22 for demolition.

- Guys are prepping the compactor.

- It goes in soon.

- Oh, thank God.

- Don't destroy it yet, okay?

- Ja, sure.

Just wait for me,

but don't destroy it, okay?

- Hello, ma'am.

- Morning, Deon.

All right. Let's have it.

- What are you proposing now?

- Ma'am, I think I've cracked it.

The world's first proper,

full artificial intelligence.

This is a computer system

that might be smarter than a human.

I could show it a piece of art...

...and this thing, this being,

could judge that art.

It could decide if it liked it.

It could write music and poetry.

Okay. Stop.

Please, Deon.

Do you realise you just came...

...to the CEO of a publicly traded

weapons corporation...

...and pitched a robot

that can write poems?

Well, if you just let me explain...

Deon, Tetravaal is very happy

with you.

The Scouts are a huge success.

Ma'am, look,

it won't cost you anything.

A droid downstairs was written off

yesterday, smashed beyond repair.

Let me instal this on it.

- Please just let me test it.

- No. No, I'm sorry, Deon.

You know

how insurance works for those...

...all the red tape and the paperwork.

Thank you for your time.

All new employees, please report

to Human Resources for orientation.

Sh*t.

Hey, Bill.

Attention. Attention.

Remember to have your security pass

visible at all times.

Hey. Can you give me

a hand over here?

Come on. Come on.

Come on.

Thank you.

Yep. Showtime.

- What's up, homes?

- Hey. Hey, hey, hey!

Please! Hey, what is it?

This is you getting hijacked, my friend.

Welcome to Joburg.

And these are all part

of what makes the Moose unique...

...and perfect for you

at the department.

The strategic ability to neutralise

the enemy's targets.

High-value targets:

Radar installations...

...aircraft, fuel storage locations.

- Aircraft?

- Yes, sir.

We're taking out an enemy's aircraft?

We are talking

about urban crimes here?

You know, muggings,

carjackings, loitering.

I'm talking all kinds of targets, sir.

Low to high.

I do believe you need

a weapons platform...

...that can fire warheads

with precision and reliability.

And might I add, sir, all under

the control of a human operator.

Look, Miss Bradley...

...the police force is very happy

with the Scouts. Very, very happy.

- We just ordered new droids.

- Thank you.

We've been very successful

at bringing down crime.

But this? No, we don't want this.

I mean, look at it. It's overkill.

It's expensive, it's big, and it's ugly.

It'll have to get a hell of a lot worse

for us to even consider this.

A hell of a lot worse.

No, I think we're done here.

Well, thank you,

Commissioner Steenkamp.

We'll get you those Scouts.

Wakey, wakey.

Please.

Please, I don't have much money.

Shut up. I don't want your money.

- We know who you are, my friend.

- We know you make the robots.

No, there must be a mistake.

I mean...

Stop playing dumb with us!

We know you have some kind of TV

remote thing to switch those robots off.

- Excuse me?

- It's a machine.

It's got an on-off switch.

- Maybe there's one in the van.

- Ja, check the van.

- Cut his feet off.

- That's a good idea, Amerika.

- No, no, no! No, please! Help!

- Yo, man, that's a good idea.

You can get yourself

a nice, funky wheelchair.

No, please listen.

You cannot switch them off.

Bullshit! It's a machine.

They have a firmware lock.

They're always on.

Just shoot him, man.

Please! Please, don't! No!

Y'all gotta see this.

Jesus Christ.

He managed to turn this one off.

There's legs and sh*t all over the place.

Was he gonna build it or something?

You know what?

What if we get him to program

this bad boy to fight for us?

Like an indestructible robot gangsta,

number one, son.

Hey.

Listen, my friend,

we know about your little buddy...

...you're trying to hide from us.

I wasn't hiding anything.

Either you reprogram that robot

in the van to work for us...

...or we f***ing shoot you right now.

What do you mean, "reprogram him"?

- Don't play dumb!

- You know exactly what we mean.

Turn that robot

into the illest gangsta on the block.

We use him to make some moves

and make some real money.

The one in my van is a test.

It's never been tried,

but if it works, you can...

...train him to do what you want.

What do you mean, "if it works"?

It's a new project I'm working on.

It makes the robot have a mind

like a human.

But it's like a child in the beginning.

Like a human baby, but smarter.

Its AI can learn much faster

than any organic intelligence.

- But it has to be taught.

- Well, for how long?

- I don't know! It's untested.

- Enough.

This is your only option!

I'm telling you:

You cannot switch them off

and you cannot hack the others.

Please, I don't wanna die.

It's just plug and play. Quick release.

Snap on and snap off.

- Why is all its legs off?

- It was scheduled for destruction.

- Why?

- Because it's damaged.
