Robot Overlords Page #5

Synopsis: Alien robots come to Earth and assert their control over humanity. They claim that they only want to observe humanity. They enforce a strict no one allowed outside rule. They implant humans with a device that alerts sentries to anyone who goes outside and if they refuse to comply they are destroyed. They also employ humans to be their proctors. One of these men is Robin Smythe. He tries to get Kate Flynn to be his wife but she still mourns her husband whom Smythe says died. But her son Sean, doesn't believe it. He sends messages out asking anyone who knows anything about his father to tell him. One day he and three young people are fooling around when they discover that they turned off their implant. That's when they go outside and someone answers Sean's message and tells him where his father is. So he goes out to find him But Smythe pursues him and brings his mother as leverage. And when the robots corner Sean he somehow manages to control them. So the Robots are curious why he can do

will turn to molten lava.

You're going to die, Kate.

Your husband, your son...

Everyone here.

Because of your selfishness.

Hand Sean over now!

People do the right thing

when they're motivated by fear.

You'll see.

Hand Sean over now!

300 hours on a simulator, right?

No... You're not thinking

what I think you're thinking?

What about your granddad,

in the Battle of Britain?

What would he say?

Look, okay,

my lot were Irish and

we didn't even fight in the war.

Sorry, mate,

I can't do this without you.

Okay, alright, alright, stop!

I'm full of sh*t.

Alright? I admit it.

Hand Sean over now!

Hey...

Hey, it's okay, Connor.

It's alright.

It's okay.

Listen to me.

You wanna know

why I'm not frightened?

- Yes.

- I'm not sad?

It's because you're here,

and Alex is here.

And all of us, you, me,

all of us,

we got to be a family,

didn't we?

We're a family.

Why won't Mr. Smythe

believe us? Sean's not here!

His control is sublime,

exquisite.

Sean?

Sean Flynn, you are

a fascinating phenomenon.

We wish to study the connection

you have made with us.

Our simulations

cannot replicate it.

We offer you and your family

immunity,

a home of your choice,

freedom to roam

wherever you want.

Defy us and we will order

an immediate air strike.

There is a 94.6% probability

that the collision

will kill you.

- You reckon?

- You are perspiring

and your heart is beating

174 times per minute.

We know you are frightened.

Yeah, well,

being frightened of something's

the best reason to do it.

Your decision is foolish.

Goodbye, Sean Flynn.

Mediator! Mediator!

- Wait here.

- Don't leave us alone!

It'll be okay.

I'll be right back, I promise.

It's me he's after, not Sean.

- Kate, Kate, you're gonna die.

- Please. You're gonna die.

Kate, they're gonna kill you!

Kate, come here now, please!

You idiots...

You idiots!

Stay on the boy!

My God! He's doing it!

He's doing it!

He's actually controlling it!

I told you!

He's as mental as you are!

My God! Whoohoo!

They're all leaving.

It worked!

My God!

Smythe, that's for you!

Sentries!

Sentries!

Where... where are you going?

Take me with you!

Citizen, return to your home

immediately.

Authorization code 97ZCRS.

Help me, please!

The local cube

has malfunctioned.

Unable to authorize.

Citizen...

return to your home.

Now, just wait a moment!

Let me explain!

I'm Zone Chief Smythe!

Citizen, return to your home

immediately.

For... Can you see

any houses round here?

How am I supposed to...

Citizen, return to your home

immediately.

15 seconds.

Stand down!

I order you to stand down!

You have 10 seconds

to return to your home.

This is your final warning.

- I am Zone Chief Robin Smythe!

- Five, four, three,

two, one.

A loyal subject of the Robot...

There!

You must desist from

interfacing with our network,

Sean Flynn.

Hold him still.

Are you sure we can mess

around with him?

I mean, he's a mediator.

We'll probably get nuked.

This one's different. It's

like I could see the network.

You must desist.

You must desist.

You must desist.

Come on, Sean, I believe in you.

- You okay, Sean?

- He's okay.

- Sean, mate... Sean?

- Nate. Nate, look.

Yes, Sean! Come on!

This is not the end.

Robots never, never...

Sean?

Sean?

You might wanna try

giving him mouth to mouth.

Yeah, well, I'm not doing it.

That is not mouth to mouth.

- What happened?

- Look.

Hey. Hey, son.

Our intention is to study

all sentient thought

in the universe.

When our study is complete,

we will leave your planet

and never return.

Don't be alarmed.

We wish you no harm.

Everything we've told you

is the truth.

Robots never lie.

You are perspiring.

And your heart is beating

174 times per minute.

Robot...

Robot...

Robots never lie.

Robot...

Robots never lie.

You are ordered

to surrender immediately.

Surrender immediately.

You must desist from interfacing

with our network.

You must desist.

You must desist.

You must desist.

You must desist.

You... must... desist.

You... must... desist...

This is not the end.

Robots never...

never... never...
