Robot Overlords Page #2

Yeah, I told you, didn't I?

Alright, leave it

with Shortarse the Viking.

You look after

the battery for us, okay?

We'll be back super soon,

I promise.

Promise?

I promise.

What the hell is that?

Did you see what he had

in his hands?

Files.

Come on. Come on.

Oi, what do

the red crosses mean?

I think it means

they're dead, Nate.

Smythe's wife and kid.

Nate, Morse Code Martin

was right.

Smythe did kill his wife.

He's alive, I knew it.

I bloody knew it.

Region 632-7560.

Where's that?

632-7560...

Got him. The hotel.

Nate, your implant,

it's flashing.

- Okay, where's the battery?

- I left it with Connor.

You don't wanna leave it

with Connor!

You told me to leave it there

with Connor!

- Why'd you leave it?

- Shut up.

Sh*t.

Sean, the implants are flashing

and we really need to go.

Sean!

Agh!

Sean.

Crap.

Guys?

Ballbags.

- Connor?

- Connor!

Why'd he take it with him?

Who's gonna...

Calm down, Nate.

I just don't know

where he's gone.

Tits.

Nate!

Alex!

Sean! Run!

Citizen, surrender immediately.

This is your final warning.

I'm surrendering.

Look at me, I'm surrendering.

Stand down.

Authorization code 97ZCRS.

You lying shitbag.

My dad's alive.

I meant no malice, lad.

No harm.

But if you were one

happy family,

I wouldn't have a reason

to see Kate again, would I?

Sweeties...

Now, how did you turn off

your implants?

Look, we're not talking,

alright?

Collaborator.

Coll-ab-or-at-or.

Five syllables.

That's a big word, boy,

coming from you.

Since I very much doubt

you heard it

from Kate, it set me wondering.

- He didn't do anything!

- I beg to differ.

We've been monitoring

the torchlight messages

from his loft window

for some time now.

- Leave him alone!

- Let him go!

Sending subversive

communications

on an unauthorized channel.

A deep scan is what you get

when you break the rules.

- You let him go, Smythe.

- Save your breath, son.

This bastard collaborator's

been looking for an excuse

to do me in.

If you hurt him...

Smythe, if you hurt him,

I swear to God, I will kill you.

I'll kill you!

Nate.

Right, begin the deep scan.

I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

Hey, Smythe, go to hell,

you filthy, filthy traitor.

Do not be concerned.

His pain will be brief.

Please, no!

But his data will last

for eternity.

Guys?

Martin!

- What was the point of that?

- Why?

- He didn't do anything wrong.

- You killed him.

You actually killed him!

He isn't dead.

Not yet.

The subject experiences

every thought they've ever had

in a very short space of time.

The process leaves the donor

incapable of feeding himself.

He will die of natural causes...

eventually.

For what it's worth...

I'll make sure

your mother's cared for.

All I want is for her

to be happy.

You leave her alone!

Alone?

No.

Poor Kate's going to need

a shoulder to cry on.

He's connected to the network.

Excellent.

We will search his memories

for new ideas.

We will know everything

there is to know.

God!

Sean...

In this very hall, right,

I had pupils,

well, monkeys like his lot,

calling me the C word.

If I were to take them outside,

teach them some manners,

suddenly, whoo, I'm the villain.

Make it stop!

Play by the rules,

it's not a bad life.

Kick up a fuss,

this is where it gets you.

Did your wife and son

play by the rules, Mr. Smythe?

Is that why you betrayed them?

'Cause you're more loyal

to robots

than to your own family?

You know nothing about...

Everyone in the zone knows.

Martin told us all.

You killed your son

'cause he was a crook.

And you killed your wife...

Silence! Be quiet!

'Cause she was shagging

half the blokes in town.

We've all been laughing at you

behind your back.

You dirty little...

- Come on, quick.

- Come on, hurry!

Nathan, come on, leave that!

The robots are coming!

We don't have time!

Nate, we don't have

time for this!

- Alright, keep your hair on.

- Come on, get a move on!

Boom!

- Come on, let's go.

- Come on, Connor! Connor!

Alex, how often

do we have to do this thing?

They reboot after 13 hours.

I miss my mum and my dad so bad.

Hey!

We'd have died

if it wasn't for you.

You saved our lives.

Take it easy.

Let's find Dad.

He'll know what to do.

- What about Kate?

- What about her?

She's gonna be fine 'cause

Smythe wants to bang her.

- I just sicked up a little.

- Come on, shut up, Nathan.

Me shut up?

Look, mate, you can shut up.

Listen, I'm sick of you!

Martin's dead 'cause of you!

And who's next, alright?

Connor? Alex?

Nate, get off him!

We all had our chance

to go home, Nate, all of us.

There's no turning back now.

I can't do it alone, mate.

What do you say?

Come on, then, donut.

Mr. Smythe.

Jake!

Guys, I know

this isn't the right time,

but I really need a wee.

There, there, that's it,

the hotel.

What's he doing?

What's that?

What is that?

- Hit him!

- Come on!

That's it! Kill him!

Balls! Go for the...!

He's going down!

Get those little worms!

What we got here, then?

School outing?

Oi, pipe down, the lot of you!

You heard!

Well?

I'm looking for my dad.

He's a pilot.

He was moved here.

Look at this one.

It's black, like a robot's.

Get him upstairs to Monique now.

Please, sir, can I go

to the loo? I'm bursting.

I've been holding it in

for ages.

Moni, you'll never guess

what I've just seen.

Bunch of kids

just walked in off the street

and I think they've had

their implants switched off.

- Bollocks.

- Straight up.

- Show me.

- Come here.

- How'd you do that?

- It's pretty easy...

- Zip it, Connor.

- Easy, is it?

You kids won't be so tough

once you've had

a few fingers broken.

Moni, Moni, please, love.

They're only kids.

I'm looking for this man.

It's my dad.

Let's do a deal.

You bloody geniuses.

There is a God.

We reckon it's something to do

with the specific voltage

created by the battery

and the dodgy adapter.

If only we had something

to compare it with,

like a Taser or...

Schtum, okay? Look, alright...

We've shown you ours,

now you show us yours.

No, look, you know what I mean.

There's someone you should meet.

Swanny, love,

got someone to see you.

Swanny here knew your dad.

Thick as thieves, they were.

And then last spring,

they were gone.

Swanny, love...

You've got some visitors.

Amazing.

It goes in a long way,

doesn't it?

Get away, you little bollocks.

- How'd he do it?

- The watchmaker.

Tiny little fingers.

Glass eyes.

- Watchmaker?

- Tell 'em, Swanny.

Tell 'em about the stones.

The stones...

Slaughter stone.

It shows the way.

The silver lake, that's where...

that's where the watchmaker,

the watchmaker, the watchmaker,

tick tock, tick tock...

Monique! Where are you?

I need... I need you.

I need you now, darling.

At the end of the summer,

Swanny came back to find me.

He got lost in the woods.

Heat stroke

like you wouldn't believe.

Follow the river!

Find the secret lake!

Find the secret lake!

That was a load of bollocks,
