The Machine Page #5

maybe we'll see that sunrise

together someday.

I have your program backed up.

I'll keep you safe.

I'm not a program, Vincent.

I'm not Ava.

I'm me.

Scalpel.

I'm afraid.

I don't want to die.

My mind is breaking apart.

I'm losing myself.

Stop.

Please, Vincent.

Please stop.

Don't be afraid.

Let go. It's okay.

I will be a good girl.

I'm...

afraid.

There, its consciousness...

or soul, if you like.

I'm done.

You wanna close her up?

Yes.

Thank you, Vincent.

What's going on?

I just need to keep an eye on you...

until I make sure the changes

you've made are appropriate.

And, um,

I've been thinking.

I'm sorry, Vincent, but I do need

to delete your daughter's program.

What are you talking about? We had a deal.

I know I can't stop progress,

but I can do everything

in my power to delay it.

No, you can't do that. We had a deal.

No, please don't destroy my daughter.

Please don't destroy my daughter!

I'm sorry, Vincent.

- I don't have a choice.

- Don't destroy my daughter!

Admin to Cell 8. Prisoner 226,

report to the medical station.

Well, well, well.

You really are a little angel of

death and destruction, aren't you?

No, sir. I am just a machine.

Get it ready for training in Taiwan.

It needs one last test. Yes, sir.

If you really want to know, all

you have to do is look closer.

Please don't destroy my daughter!

I'm sorry, Vincent,

but your knowledge is too dangerous.

I don't expect you to believe me,

but this is for the greater good.

When I give the order,

I want you to shoot Vincent

once in the head.

Fire.

Good. Back you go.

Take Vincent back to his cell.

That can't be right.

Jesus.

- What?

- It's a battery.

- What was? - Vincent said it was

part of its higher brain functions.

But he's a lying bastard. It's

just a backup to its G.P.S.

That doesn't make any sense.

How can you remove the G.P.S.?

Because the bomb

doesn't work without it.

Test room.

Shut down the base. Kill the

machine and Vincent on sight.

Security teams are engaged.

The soldiers can speak?

They've always been able to.

Their language is mostly

transmitted thoughts.

Their words are evolved, efficient.

Why didn't they tell us?

Because they are part

of the new world,

and you are part of the old.

Where are you going?

To save my daughter's program.

You'll die. I have to try.

I'll go.

Okay.

Destroy the quantum computer.

Turn off all the soldiers' implants.

Termination codes required.

Security breached, sector eight.

Take armor piercing.

Scientific staff

must evacuate immediately.

Implant deactivated.

Fifty-eight percent

of implants deactivated.

Implant deactivated.

Implant deactivated.

Access to brain-implant control

denied.

Administrator access only.

System error.

System error.

Get away from it.

Fix it.

No.

Do it.

Blast doors.

Administrator override.

Now you listen to me.

I'm...

Now you remember...

You remember who I am.

I'm the master.

You... You do what I tell you.

You obey my orders, yes? You obey my orders.

You do exactly what I...

You can't delete Mary's program.

I had Suri change the password.

Now...

Now you listen to me. You don't...

You don't hurt me. You don't... Don't...

Please, you don't need to kill me.

No. I don't.

No. That's right. That's right.

That's good. That's very good.

I just need to make you dead inside.

Like you tried to make me.

Code:
Alpha Six Foxtrot.

There is a radioactive leak

in the missile silo...

in Quadrant Foxtrot 6.

Evacuate the area immediately.

I need to find out whether my daughter's

files are still on the system.

They are. It will be

safer if I copy them.

How? I can put them here.

If you don't trust me, I understand.

You risked your child for me.

I will never forget that.

You're the future.

She'll need you more

than me in her new life.

I trust you.

This has all the base's records on it.

It'll tell you what

happened to your son.

How are you feeling

this morning, sweetheart?

Happy. Can I play another game?

Sure. Of course you can.

What's wrong?

I want to play with Mommy, not you.
