have it for posterity.

I laughed.

You smiled. A smile's not a laugh.

Everyone laughs. It's a biological need.

Actually, it isn't.

Sleep is a biological need.

I've never seen you sleep, either.

Well, sooner or later,

I'm gonna make you laugh.

Until you do, I'm not gonna stop trying.

Maybe you should.

What?

Stop trying.

Why?

Must we record this?

- Get out!

- Wait a second.

What is that? Is that a countdown?

I am not leaving. I deserve to

know what's going on around here.

- You deserve...

- Yeah, I deserve some answers.

- Answers to what?

- I know that you were there.

You don't know anything.

How do you ever leave a place like that?

Because they threw me out!

They threw me out

and they locked every door back in.

Was it because you built

that something that you shouldn't have?

Who told you that?

And is that it?

The "something"?

If I could tell you the date,

the exact date that you're gonna die,

would you wanna know?

- How would you know?

- Let's just say I did.

- What are you, a psychic?

- No, that's not the point.

Then what is your basis for knowing?

- It's a hypothetical.

- It's a stupid hypothetical.

Just use your imagination. All right?

- All right.

- Okay.

Let's accept that there is a world

where I know, with absolute certainty,

the exact time of your death.

Now, you want me to tell you or not?

Yeah, of course I would. Who wouldn't?

But what if accepting my death

is what causes it?

So the answer is yes.

I would want you to tell me.

- But I wouldn't believe you.

- You have to believe me.

Why? Don't we, like,

make our own destiny and stuff?

What?

Who are you, kid?

Is that bad?

Hell.

Hell!

- They followed you here?

- What? Who?

Robots.

I've never seen them before.

John Francis Walker.

You have been permitted to live

based upon your agreed non-intervention.

You are now harboring

a fugitive element.

Release her to our custody

or be extinguished.

You have one minute to comply.

- Thanks.

- Don't thank me yet.

Wait.

Come on!

Let's go!

John Francis Walker,

by authority of Governor Nix,

this unit has been authorized

to extinguish your life.

Okay.

Okay.

All right, that's enough. That's enough!

Come on. Close the door.

Who the hell is Governor Nix?

Let's go. Come on.

Get in.

How is this a good idea?

Move or sink, kid.

You were actually prepared for that?

- My hat.

- Leave it.

No, no, no. I can't go without it.

It's my dad's.

Now I get it.

Too smart for your own good.

Father never understood you,

never supported you.

And now you wear

his hat as a badge of rebellion, right?

No. My dad is amazing.

Wait a second.

We're not talking about me, are we?

Why don't we just get you

to your amazing dad

and pretend this never happened?

Hop on.

- The battery's dead.

- No, it's not.

- Then maybe it's the points.

- No, it's not.

- When's the last time you checked...

- You know, you're not helping. You...

Get down. Now.

Wait.

Hello, Frank.

Are you going to shoot me?

- I'm deciding.

- Could you decide in the truck?

Because we really should get going.

- Wait.

- Why? So more robots can show up?

She's one of them.

Yeah, I know. Are you coming or not?

Move over.

- Frank...

- Not yet.

What are you thinking?

Why would you drag her into this?

I didn't drag her into anything.

I gave her a pin.

She did the rest.

Just like you.

Don't even.

Where did you even find the pin?

I was there. They destroyed 'em.

Not all of them.

I made it out with nearly a dozen.

So you give one to a teenager.

Hey, I got a 73 on the

Feinberg/Dusseldorf scale or whatever.

You got a 73? That's not possible.

He's jealous because he scored a 41.

You know what? I was 11. I was 11!

Hey, don't touch that!

This is a one-kiloton detonation.

It is not a toy.

Do not mess with my stuff.

- You got it?

- Sorry!

I didn't begin with her, you know.

I wasted years

on other potential candidates.

Potential candidates? For what?

That's beautiful.

You still think you're recruiting,

don't you?

Do not ask her any more questions.

She's gonna do her

countermeasure shutdown thing.

What countermeasure shutdown thing?

Did you tell her you had

a countermeasure shutdown thing?

- She was annoying me.

- You lied?

Get used to that, kid.

One minute, she's promising you

a beautiful future,

the next thing you know,

she's leading it to your house to kill you.

I'm sorry, but time is running out

and you needed motivation.

Motivation for what?

- We need to go back over, Frank.

- Back over there?

Yes, yes, Frank,

we need to go back over.

Good. Great. That's just great.

You know, hey, I got stung by a bee.

Let's jump on the hive.

That's a terrible analogy.

That's a fantastic analogy.

What do you know about analogies?

You know, you're impossible to talk

to when you're like this.

I am like this because

you derailed my life.

Again.

Frank, it's not personal.

It's just programming.

We're here!

Where are you going?

This is where

your wire station's located, isn't it?

We need to get to The Spectacle.

- Spectacle?

- Hey. Are you insane?

They know that you sent her to me.

They're gonna be waiting for us.

Fine. Give me the Edison tube

and we'll go without you.

- I don't have the Edison tube.

- It's in your bag.

I have x-ray vision.

- When did you get x-ray vision?

- She's full of surprises.

I know all about her surprises.

Chief among them is this.

She doesn't care about you.

All that charm and the sense

of purpose, and the cute little smile,

it's all just software.

It's ones and zeroes. That's it.

Trust me, when you get there,

you're on your own.

- What happened to you two?

- He thinks I hurt him.

No, you hurt a dumb kid

that was stupid enough to fall...

You were many things, Frank Walker.

But you were never dumb.

Why don't you just give me

the Edison tube, and...

I'm not giving you anything. I'm...

All right.

You want in? I'll bring you in.

Why not?

It's better than waiting

around here and getting

hunted and killed, etcetera, etcetera.

- That's the spirit.

- "Etcetera"? What's the "etcetera"?

- What kind of cables are these?

- The kind that transmit people.

People? Like us?

- What, like a miniature teleport...

- Do I have to explain everything?

Can't you just be amazed and move on?

This is all wired to the dish up there.

Are you... Are you using satellite?

I know how things work.

Well, zippity-doo for you.

- Wrap this around your eyes, tight.

- Why?

Because justice is blind.

Just do it, kid.

You want me to put this over my head?

If this takes off my eyebrows...

Shut up, open your mouth,

tilt your head back.

What is that?

It's powder. Are we at van 't Hoff?

Good to go!

Good. You set it for the Tower?

There is still a receiver there?

- Last I checked.

- How long ago was that?

25 years ago.

Roughly.

They threw you out, too?

Okay, guys. Killer robots.

All right.

It's gonna be

bright, cold, and really loud.

You're gonna lose
