00:00:00Now remember, you're here because of me, so don't go embarrassing me now.
00:00:14Michael, it's been a while.
00:00:16Hey there, sexy.
00:00:18How are you?
00:00:19So, are you going to come over tonight?
00:00:21Oh, yeah. Who is she?
00:00:24Oh, it's just my girlfriend. She can watch us.
00:00:29Okay.
00:00:34I think you're forgetting your place, Anne.
00:00:37Remember, if you don't behave yourself, you can still have James terminated.
00:00:48James?
00:00:49Darling?
00:00:51Yes?
00:00:53Would you like me to get you a drink?
00:00:56James?
00:00:58Excuse me, do I know you?
00:01:03James, who's this?
00:01:06I'm not sure.
00:01:07What's happening?
00:01:09Excuse me, miss, this is very inappropriate.
00:01:12I don't know you, and I already have a girlfriend.
00:01:15Get your hands off of him.
00:01:17Who invited this woman to this party anyways?
00:01:20That's my girlfriend.
00:01:22Oh, okay.
00:01:24Let go of him. Stop embarrassing me.
00:01:27Well, isn't it the infamous Michael Heston?
00:01:31Why am I not surprised? You seem to always pick up strays.
00:01:36And you always lower the bar.
00:01:39Humans aren't good enough for you now?
00:01:42I know your boyfriend's a robot.
00:01:45Oh, don't worry. I won't say a word.
00:01:48Just keep your mouth shut.
00:01:52False alarm.
00:01:54Your girlfriend seems to be mixing this person up with someone else.
00:01:58Come on.
00:01:59James.
00:02:00Let's go.
00:02:01Please, James.
00:02:08What is this? Some sort of melodrama?
00:02:11It's so fucking ridiculous. James, let's go.
00:02:25I'm sorry, dear. I left something in the house.
00:02:28I thought robots remember everything.
00:02:31To make us more human, they make us imperfect. Because...
00:02:36Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:38Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:41What's wrong?
00:02:44Nothing. Perhaps just a slight malfunction.
00:02:47It just keeps on and on.
00:02:50And they say you're the perfect model.
00:02:53I'm sorry. But I'm alright now. I'll be right back.
00:03:01Bitch.
00:03:04You made me a laughingstock.
00:03:06You promised me you wouldn't erase his memory.
00:03:09I promised that I wouldn't have him terminated.
00:03:12I never said anything about not erasing his memory.
00:03:15Now, he's not going to remember you anymore.
00:03:19Come on.
00:03:20No, not anymore, you lying piece of shit.
00:03:24How dare you.
00:03:27You bitch.
00:03:32That's enough.
00:03:39Back off. Or I'll call the police.
00:03:42You still remember me?
00:03:44No.
00:03:46I just don't like seeing a man lay his hands on a woman.
00:03:49I said back off.
00:03:52You're going to regret this.
00:03:57Take care of this.
00:03:59What do you think you're doing?
00:04:02Who gave you permission to help another girl?
00:04:04I apologize, Samantha.
00:04:06Were you flirting with her?
00:04:09That is unacceptable.
00:04:11Of course not. I'm yours. And only yours.
00:04:15How do you prove it?
00:04:17Whatever you want me to do.
00:04:23Jump off that balcony. Then I'll believe you.
00:04:27Of course.
00:04:31James?
00:04:38James, no! Please don't do this!
00:04:41I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:04:43No, James, stop!
00:04:45Why would you ask him to do this?
00:04:47You know he has to follow the orders of his owner.
00:04:49You may be a robot, but you have feelings.
00:04:52You have worth. You're...
00:04:53More human than human.
00:04:55You're...
00:04:56Human than human.
00:04:57How do you know he's a robot?
00:04:59I was James' last owner. His ex-girlfriend.
00:05:03They fucking sold me a used one?
00:05:06Oh, they're going to get in so much trouble.
00:05:08James, come on. Now.
00:05:11James!
00:05:14I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:05:23I'm coming!
00:05:32What the...
00:05:37Good morning, birthday girl.
00:05:39You delivered a dead guy to me!
00:05:41Oh my God, he's not breathing!
00:05:43Did he die during transportation?
00:05:45Oh my God, we're going to be in so much trouble.
00:05:47He's not a real person.
00:05:49My friend has this company and they're testing out their newest AI boyfriend product.
00:05:52I thought you could use company, you know?
00:05:54It's been a while since you dated anyone.
00:05:56Wait, wait. Are you signing me up for a robot boyfriend?
00:05:59Just give it a chance.
00:06:01You might actually like him.
00:06:03Right. Like I'd ever have a robot be my boyfriend.
00:06:06No. I'm returning it.
00:06:14What?
00:06:17What's your name, beautiful?
00:06:22Um...
00:06:25Oh, just put me down, Jesus Christ.
00:06:27What's wrong with you?
00:06:30Um...
00:06:32God, no. I can't be tempted.
00:06:35Where is the switch?
00:06:38I feel the strength in my arms.
00:06:42I can see the color around me.
00:06:45James, what if we could put that strength to good use?
00:06:54Follow me, James Alta.
00:07:01This is your chance to put that strength to good use.
00:07:04Help me clean up this mess.
00:07:07Easy peasy. An alpha male like me can make anything happen.
00:07:13Girlfriend.
00:07:15Oh, I'm not your girlfriend, nor your woman.
00:07:18Just...
00:07:20Just get to work.
00:07:30What are you doing?
00:07:34What are you doing?
00:07:37I thought you were going to make it clean. Why is it even worse?
00:07:40Well, actually, cleaning isn't included in my factory settings, but...
00:07:44Cleaning's not important.
00:07:47As an alpha male type, let me show you how I take charge.
00:07:57You know what?
00:07:59I wish the word no was included in your factory settings.
00:08:02Stop trying to kiss me. Stop trying to carry me in your arms.
00:08:05You know what? Just stay away from me.
00:08:08You're lost. But don't worry.
00:08:11I'll be ready for our next fairy tale moment.
00:08:14You know what? I think it's time to teach the CEO how to clean.
00:08:33You did a good job.
00:08:36I'm glad that I can spoil you.
00:08:39I didn't ask you to spoil me. You're just doing your job as part of the household.
00:08:43Which is being a masculine and dominant CEO of this...
00:08:47tiny apartment.
00:08:50I won't let my woman... I won't let you down.
00:08:56Just don't talk to me.
00:08:59Just don't talk to me for the next few hours.
00:09:03Okay?
00:09:30What are you doing?
00:09:32To keep you company.
00:09:39No. This isn't right.
00:09:42Come on, Anne.
00:09:45Let me show you just how I can care for you.
00:09:48No, no. I want real love. Not some sex service from a robot.
00:09:52But I do love you, Anne.
00:09:54Love me? You don't even know me.
00:09:56You're Anne Hill. 28.
00:09:58The only daughter of Danny and Amanda Hill.
00:10:00You went to UCLA. You majored in English Literature.
00:10:03Your cholesterol is a little bit high and...
00:10:05Not these, James. The real me.
00:10:08You're programmed to love me, but that's not real love.
00:10:11It is real love.
00:10:14You're just a robot. You wouldn't know.
00:10:18Sorry. I didn't mean to...
00:10:20No. You're just a robot without a heart.
00:10:23You're just stating a fact.
00:10:26No need to apologize.
00:10:29Here.
00:10:32Sex service function for my own sanity.
00:10:35I'm gonna turn it off.
00:10:39I'll be in the living room, Anne Hill.
00:10:43No.
00:10:50I've read your newest novel, and it's good, but...
00:10:55But what?
00:10:56You've been having dry spells, haven't you?
00:10:58You've got to get yourself out there to get inspired.
00:11:02Guess what? My friend Dustin is visiting me today.
00:11:05Lillian, I'm not into blind dates or setups.
00:11:08You two would hit it off.
00:11:10Hi.
00:11:11I'm Dustin. Nice to meet you.
00:11:14Anne. Nice to meet you, too.
00:11:17I'll leave you two to it.
00:11:25I must say, it was a pleasant surprise.
00:11:27Do you want to exchange contact info?
00:11:29Sure.
00:11:30Just put your number in.
00:11:34Shit.
00:11:36Time to go.
00:11:37James!
00:11:39Catch got away just like that.
00:11:46James!
00:11:48Put me down!
00:11:51What the hell, James? How did you even know I was here?
00:11:53I don't want you talking to that guy again.
00:11:55Wait, have you been following me?
00:11:57Anne, please, just listen. I didn't want...
00:11:59Wait, have you been following me?
00:12:01Anne, please, just listen. I didn't want...
00:12:02No, James. I'm done listening to you.
00:12:05You have no right to follow me, let alone tell me who I can and can't see.
00:12:09But I'm your boyfriend.
00:12:11I'm also a dominant CEO type, and it's my responsibility to protect you.
00:12:14You said that you're not!
00:12:16I only kept you to help me with household chores.
00:12:18Nothing more.
00:12:20You're also far from a CEO.
00:12:22How many businesses have you run?
00:12:25James, if you keep doing stuff like this,
00:12:28I'll have no choice but to return you to the factory.
00:12:32Let's just go home.
00:12:55I'm sorry.
00:12:57I'm sorry.
00:12:59I'm sorry.
00:13:01I'm sorry.
00:13:03I'm sorry.
00:13:05I'm sorry.
00:13:07I'm sorry.
00:13:09I'm sorry.
00:13:11I'm sorry.
00:13:13I'm sorry.
00:13:15I'm sorry.
00:13:17I'm sorry.
00:13:19I'm sorry.
00:13:21I'm sorry.
00:13:24The number you dialed is not a working number.
00:13:27Please check the number and dial again.
00:13:30I can't fully understand human emotions yet, but
00:13:33you seem to have something on your mind.
00:13:36Dustin blocked me.
00:13:38Well, I just told him not to contact you.
00:13:40Didn't think he'd block you.
00:13:42You what?
00:13:44James, I told you not to interfere with my life.
00:13:47That's it. I'm returning you to the factory.
00:13:49No, but I was just trying to help.
00:13:51Well, I'm finding the remote that came in the box.
00:13:53No, just look.
00:14:00What's this?
00:14:02I checked Dustin's records and his online trace.
00:14:04He takes nude photos of his dates and he puts them on the dark web.
00:14:08That's why I didn't want you to talk to him.
00:14:10Great.
00:14:12So the only guy I hit off within years turns out to be a pervert.
00:14:16I don't understand.
00:14:18You dodged a bullet.
00:14:21Why do you look so sad?
00:14:23Did I upset you?
00:14:25No, James. It's not your fault.
00:14:28I guess I just have terrible luck with men.
00:14:32There goes my day.
00:14:36I was designed to make you feel better.
00:14:40Would you like it if I took you on a date instead?
00:14:43Not as a boyfriend.
00:14:45Just as a friend.
00:14:48You know what?
00:14:50Fuck it.
00:14:52Let's do it.
00:15:00Here.
00:15:04You look nice.
00:15:08Shall we?
00:15:19Hi. Welcome.
00:15:21Can I get you started with anything?
00:15:23Oh, I'm still looking at the menu.
00:15:25It's our first time here.
00:15:27Of course.
00:15:29Not everyone can afford to dine here.
00:15:32You guys do know that it is $1,000 minimum consumption?
00:15:35$1,000 per person?
00:15:37That's crazy.
00:15:39Perhaps we should go.
00:15:41Perhaps you shouldn't have come here in the first place.
00:15:44$1,000.
00:15:47Easy peasy.
00:15:51We'll have the caviar appetizer to start,
00:15:54followed by the Wagyu steak with the truffled mashed potatoes,
00:15:57and don't forget the lobster tail as a side.
00:16:00Oh, and please bring us a bottle of your finest Pinot Noir.
00:16:03Jeez. I can't afford that.
00:16:05Why am I not surprised?
00:16:07If she can't afford it, then please leave.
00:16:10I'll take care of the bill.
00:16:12In that case...
00:16:15Do you mind paying in advance?
00:16:17It's policy for first-time patrons.
00:16:22Of course.
00:16:29Thank you, sir.
00:16:31Please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you guys.
00:16:34I would be glad to do it.
00:16:36You can stay here and serve us.
00:16:39We'd also appreciate a bigger smile.
00:16:41And then who knows? Maybe we'll leave you a bit.
00:16:43Right on it.
00:16:50Is there anything else I can do for you guys?
00:16:53You can go now.
00:16:57Where did that money come from?
00:17:00I hacked into Justin's bank account.
00:17:02I can't believe you did that.
00:17:06I'm so full.
00:17:09Me too.
00:17:11You didn't even eat because you can't eat human food.
00:17:14I like watching you eat.
00:17:26Mom! Dad! What a surprise!
00:17:29Come in!
00:17:31Sweetheart, we didn't know you had a guest.
00:17:33You must be Danny and Amanda.
00:17:35It's so nice to meet you.
00:17:37Hello!
00:17:44Honey, it is so good to see that you are not alone.
00:17:48We've been worried about you.
00:17:50Yes, it's about time you found someone special.
00:17:54Especially such a cute guy like James.
00:17:57Honey!
00:17:59Of course, you're the cutest.
00:18:02We two make each other happy.
00:18:04I'd like to make Anne happy too.
00:18:07James, you're a good guy.
00:18:12I was manufactured to be Anne's boyfriend.
00:18:17What do you mean manufactured?
00:18:19Mom, Dad, it's getting so late.
00:18:22I'm an artificial intelligence.
00:18:24I was manufactured by Alta Technology.
00:18:29Artificial intelligence? What are you talking about?
00:18:33In other terms, I'm a robot program to serve Anne's needs.
00:18:36I provide a boyfriend experience and sex services.
00:18:39Including all kinds of kinky sexual activities.
00:18:42Stop, James! Don't talk about that.
00:18:44Anne, this is absurd.
00:18:47You've been single for so long that now you're fetishizing a robot?
00:18:51You've got to stop the fetishizing.
00:18:54The fantasy.
00:18:56You can't be in a relationship with a machine.
00:18:59No, Dad, I am not in a relationship with him.
00:19:01Anne and I were just about to kiss when he walked in.
00:19:03James, you are not helping.
00:19:05Should we prove it?
00:19:06No.
00:19:07Mom, Dad, it's not what you think.
00:19:09I'm the dominant masculine CEO of this tiny...
00:19:11James, temporarily shut down.
00:19:18Honey, maybe we should get one.
00:19:21Amanda, please be serious.
00:19:23Right.
00:19:24And, sweetheart, we realize that you might be going through a rough patch.
00:19:28But this isn't the solution.
00:19:30You've got to meet somebody real.
00:19:33Who can also make you happy.
00:19:35I have heard there are dating apps designed for people into kinky sex.
00:19:41Eww, Mom, no, I don't want that.
00:19:44Honey, we just want what's best for you, but a robot is not it.
00:19:49My friend Leslie's son is a...
00:19:52Well, he's a real catch.
00:19:55He's kind, he's successful, he's charming.
00:19:59Charming? You should meet him.
00:20:01Mom, Dad, I...
00:20:02Sweetheart, please just give it a chance.
00:20:05He's charming.
00:20:06Very charming.
00:20:07Charming.
00:20:08Charming.
00:20:09Fine, I'll meet him.
00:20:25Michael Peston.
00:20:27Ryan Hill.
00:20:28It's been ages. You look stunning, as always.
00:20:31Your mom knows my mom?
00:20:33Yeah, when I found out, I asked her to set up a date.
00:20:37You want to dance?
00:20:57No, thanks.
00:20:59Come on, how can you turn this down?
00:21:04Hands off, you creep.
00:21:13All right, I've asked you out, and now you're not going to dance with me?
00:21:16Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:21:18Someone who doesn't waste time on boys.
00:21:21Who think they can charm their way into anything.
00:21:26I'd like to go on a date with you.
00:21:28Poor girl.
00:21:30Go on.
00:21:32You'll regret this!
00:21:40What do you want, Michael?
00:21:44Look, I know you don't trust me.
00:21:48I was a total jerk back then, but I've done a lot of growing up since college.
00:21:53I'm not the same guy.
00:21:54Really?
00:21:55Yeah, I want to apologize to you.
00:21:59I'm sorry for my behavior.
00:22:02If you want me to leave, I understand.
00:22:05No, it's okay. You can stay.
00:22:10Thanks.
00:22:11So what have you been up to?
00:22:13Well, I started my own tech startup.
00:22:16We're doing really well, actually.
00:22:19I'm surprised you didn't just go work for your dad.
00:22:22Well, he actually is my angel investor, so...
00:22:27Why am I not surprised?
00:22:29I know, you think I'm just this trust fund baby who has everything handed to him.
00:22:34But I'm much more than that.
00:22:36I started my own charity for underprivileged kids.
00:22:40It's been incredibly rewarding.
00:22:42Here.
00:22:49What's been up with you?
00:22:58Huh.
00:23:02And I've had a wonderful time.
00:23:04Would you let me drive you home?
00:23:07That would be lovely.
00:23:15Okay, your place or mine?
00:23:17What?
00:23:18I mean, you agreed to have me drive you home, but clearly we want to have a sentence.
00:23:23Are you kidding me?
00:23:25That's far from the truth.
00:23:27Don't be such a prude.
00:23:29We had a nice time.
00:23:31I paid for the food.
00:23:33Laughed at your stupid jokes.
00:23:35I complimented you.
00:23:36You haven't changed a bit, Michael Peston.
00:23:39It was all but a lie.
00:23:41You should tell a pretentious little bitch.
00:23:43I was awfully charged.
00:23:46Get off of me!
00:23:48I'm sorry.
00:23:50No.
00:23:52Come here.
00:23:53Michael, get off. Are you kidding me?
00:23:55The more makes me want you more.
00:23:57I can tell.
00:23:58You want me too.
00:24:03Ow!
00:24:04Fuck!
00:24:06Bitch.
00:24:12Lay another hand on her.
00:24:14You're finished.
00:24:19Who the hell are you?
00:24:22Man's boyfriend.
00:24:24Boyfriend?
00:24:27I knew it.
00:24:28You're a fucking slut.
00:24:34Lay another hand on her.
00:24:38You're finished.
00:24:39James, stop. You're killing him.
00:24:41I am going to kill him.
00:24:42James, no. He's not worth it. Let's go.
00:24:47James.
00:24:51James.
00:25:09James, I don't understand.
00:25:11How were you there to save me?
00:25:13I shut you down.
00:25:15The temporary shutdown only lasts 24 hours.
00:25:18I rebooted myself after that time elapsed.
00:25:22I don't know what I would have done without you.
00:25:25Oh, it's okay.
00:25:27Hi.
00:25:28Hi.
00:25:29Look.
00:25:30You see what happened?
00:25:33Are you sure you don't want to file a patient report?
00:25:38All right, then you're good to go, Miss Hill.
00:25:40All right.
00:25:41Thank you, doctor.
00:25:45Please stop. You're killing him.
00:25:47I am going to kill him.
00:25:48James.
00:25:51James, can you go get me some water?
00:25:53Of course.
00:26:03Hi, is this Alta Technology?
00:26:06Yeah, I have a robot boyfriend and I was just wondering
00:26:11if the robot ever caused harm to a human, what would happen?
00:26:18Deactivation and termination.
00:26:20What do you mean by termination?
00:26:23The robot would be destroyed?
00:26:27I can't do that to James.
00:26:30What?
00:26:31No, no, there's nothing wrong.
00:26:32I was just...
00:26:34Anyway, I was just curious.
00:26:36Thank you so much.
00:26:37Bye.
00:26:47What's wrong, Anne?
00:26:48It's just a work call.
00:26:51I told my editor I need a few more days on my draft.
00:27:01You know that I can hear everything around me, including your phone call, right?
00:27:06You want to terminate me?
00:27:08No, I can't shake off what happened earlier.
00:27:12You were...
00:27:15so angry.
00:27:16I was just trying to help.
00:27:17But you were almost out of control.
00:27:19I thought you were programmed not to cause any harm to humans.
00:27:27I don't know what came over me.
00:27:31I can't understand it either.
00:27:34But what I do know is I would never do anything to hurt you.
00:27:37And if you don't believe me, you can send me back to the factory.
00:27:39I didn't say that.
00:27:42But you need to control yourself.
00:27:44Let me teach you to control yourself.
00:27:48Let me teach you how to be human.
00:28:00Small talk.
00:28:01One of humanity's most useless yet inescapable inventions.
00:28:05For example,
00:28:07the weather is so nice today.
00:28:09I'm having a great day.
00:28:12You are?
00:28:13James, it doesn't matter whether I am or not.
00:28:16All you need to say is,
00:28:17Oh, wow, that's amazing.
00:28:21Oh, wow, that's amazing.
00:28:25Not bad.
00:28:26I do hope your day is going amazing so far, though.
00:28:28I hope I'm one of the reasons.
00:28:34Now, another thing.
00:28:36Cooking.
00:28:38Just because you can't eat human food
00:28:40doesn't mean you can't cook human food.
00:28:43Look.
00:29:04Damn.
00:29:06Damn.
00:29:07He's good.
00:29:08I can't let him find out I'm a bad cook.
00:29:13Another human trait.
00:29:15Imperfection makes perfection.
00:29:19Just like you.
00:29:20Imperfect.
00:29:22But perfect.
00:29:26After dinner, I have another task for you.
00:29:28What is it?
00:29:29You'll see.
00:29:36Why are you crying here?
00:29:38It's just so sad.
00:29:40It's just a movie.
00:29:42It's not just a movie, James.
00:29:44It's about love.
00:29:46Marguerite sacrifices her life for Armand
00:29:48because she loves him so much.
00:29:51Their love is so pure,
00:29:53so powerful.
00:29:56What is love?
00:29:59Love is
00:30:02an uncontrollable feeling.
00:30:05An uncontrollable feeling of wanting to give everything
00:30:07to the other person.
00:30:10If it means sacrificing your own life.
00:30:20I want to give everything I have to you.
00:30:23I don't have a real life, but if I did,
00:30:26I'd give it to you, too.
00:30:35I love you.
00:30:58It's not real.
00:31:00It'll never be real.
00:31:06I love you.
00:31:16Is everything alright?
00:31:18My old college roommate Jessica wants to get dinner.
00:31:21Is this a social gathering in which you could bring a significant other?
00:31:26No.
00:31:28And again, you're not my boyfriend.
00:31:31Can I still come?
00:31:33James, I don't think you're ready for that.
00:31:35And I don't want everyone to know you're a robot.
00:31:38I understand.
00:31:40I promise I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
00:31:44Okay?
00:32:00Anne!
00:32:02You made it!
00:32:06Jessica.
00:32:08This isn't what you said it would be.
00:32:14Oh, did I forget to mention?
00:32:16Michael insisted on hosting a little gathering
00:32:18and I thought it would be fun to surprise you.
00:32:22So you're working with Michael Peston to humiliate me?
00:32:26Great.
00:32:27Well, well, well.
00:32:28Little Annie who?
00:32:30A girl who can't take a hint
00:32:32has come to grace us with her presence.
00:32:36You know,
00:32:37Anne here
00:32:38once confessed her undying love for me.
00:32:43Sorry, sweetheart.
00:32:45You're just not my type.
00:32:47That's not true.
00:32:48I never said any of that.
00:32:51Sorry, miss.
00:32:53But Mr. Peston requested your presence.
00:32:56Here's how it's going to go, Anne.
00:32:59You're going to kiss my shoes
00:33:01and beg for forgiveness.
00:33:03Or...
00:33:06Actually, that's the only option.
00:33:14Hey, give that back.
00:33:15What's the matter, Anne?
00:33:17You afraid of a little kiss?
00:33:19I won't do that, Michael.
00:33:22Oh.
00:33:24Oh.
00:33:25Okay.
00:33:26Sorry.
00:33:27My mistake.
00:33:29In that case,
00:33:32why don't you drink this instead?
00:33:34Yeah, this bottle of spiritus vodka.
00:33:37You drink the entire thing
00:33:39and I'll forgive you.
00:33:41Oh, it is the highest proof spirit in the world.
00:33:44Michael,
00:33:46you know I don't drink.
00:33:48Oh, she doesn't drink.
00:33:49Well, I guess I'll have to help you then.
00:33:51Open up.
00:33:52No, Michael, please.
00:33:53Here we go.
00:33:55Let her go!
00:33:57He's done it! He's done it!
00:34:08Stop! Stop!
00:34:10There we go.
00:34:12Looks like your knight in shining armor
00:34:13can't do anything now.
00:34:15Seeing as he's detained,
00:34:17Jamesy,
00:34:19you get to watch, buddy.
00:34:21Drink up, Anne.
00:34:22Let her go.
00:34:23Let her go, you coward!
00:34:24Come on.
00:34:25Wait!
00:34:27I'll drink.
00:34:30James, you can't.
00:34:33If drinking that will save you, I'll do it.
00:34:37I'll let you go.
00:34:39Oh.
00:34:40That's touching, James.
00:34:41Really.
00:34:42You warm my heart.
00:34:45You know what?
00:34:47Okay.
00:34:49Come here.
00:34:51Drink it, James.
00:34:53No, James, don't.
00:34:55Up.
00:34:57You'll drop.
00:35:02Go on.
00:35:03You don't have to, James.
00:35:04Shh.
00:35:19It's done.
00:35:21You said if I finished it, you'd let her go.
00:35:28Go ahead, Anne.
00:35:31This isn't over.
00:35:34Yeah, I think it should.
00:35:40Anne Hale is really not worth it.
00:35:42You still have me.
00:35:44Yeah.
00:35:46What do you know
00:35:48about this James guy?
00:35:50How did he drink the whole bottle without flinching?
00:35:55Does it make sense?
00:35:56There's something off about him.
00:35:59Michael.
00:36:01Let's forget about them and let's focus on us.
00:36:04Go.
00:36:05Okay.
00:36:06Bye-bye.
00:36:11We should run a background check
00:36:12on this James guy.
00:36:14I want to know everything about
00:36:16his family,
00:36:17where he's from,
00:36:18where he shits,
00:36:19where he eats,
00:36:20everything.
00:36:21Just...
00:36:22Just find out.
00:36:35James?
00:36:36Are you all right?
00:36:38It's the alcohol.
00:36:40It's actually corroding my circuitry.
00:36:42Why did you do that, then?
00:36:45Someone said to me that love is the uncontrollable desire
00:36:47to give the other person everything.
00:36:50Even if that means sacrificing your own life.
00:36:53I'm willing to do that for you, Anne.
00:36:56Even though I don't technically have a life.
00:37:05You're more human than human.
00:37:10But let's not talk about that now.
00:37:12We have to get you to the factory.
00:37:15Let's go get you repaired.
00:37:17Okay.
00:37:32My robot needs repairs urgently.
00:37:36What happened to him?
00:37:37It's a long story.
00:37:39Can you fix it?
00:37:43We need to replace some damaged components
00:37:45and reprogram him.
00:37:47But it won't be cheap,
00:37:48since it's outside the warranty coverage.
00:37:51How much is it going to cost?
00:37:54$80,000.
00:37:56Honestly, if I were you,
00:37:57I would just get a new one.
00:37:59I don't want a new robot.
00:38:01I want him back.
00:38:02I will try to get the money.
00:38:03Just do whatever it takes to fix him.
00:38:06Very well.
00:38:07We'll get started right away.
00:38:10But it's going to take some time.
00:38:15Okay.
00:38:25I got some intel.
00:38:27That James...
00:38:30turns out...
00:38:32he's a robot.
00:38:35I came as soon as I heard the news.
00:38:37I'm so sorry, Anne.
00:38:42I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:38:46I'm sorry.
00:38:51I only have $10,000 in extra cash.
00:38:53How much do you need to fix James?
00:38:55I have $20,000 myself, but that's it.
00:38:58Even with your money,
00:38:59I still need $50,000 more.
00:39:02It's all my fault for getting you into this mess.
00:39:05If I hadn't signed you up for the robot in the first place...
00:39:07Don't blame yourself, Hannah.
00:39:09James may be a robot, but...
00:39:12he's loved me like no one ever has.
00:39:15I wouldn't trade that for anything.
00:39:31Hello, Anne.
00:39:35What do you want again?
00:39:36I know everything about your friend, James.
00:39:40Wow.
00:39:42What a...
00:39:43small, pathetic apartment.
00:39:46You know...
00:39:47you're my girlfriend.
00:39:49You would live in the nicest mansion.
00:39:51Leave, or we will call the police.
00:39:54No.
00:39:55You won't.
00:39:56I'm sorry, who are you?
00:39:58I'm Anne's best friend.
00:39:59The one who got her the robot.
00:40:02Tell me,
00:40:03what's your plan for getting him back to her?
00:40:05That's none of your business.
00:40:07It's every bit my business, actually.
00:40:10I know you're having some hard times covering the money
00:40:13to pay for his repairs.
00:40:14I have a bit of a proposition for you.
00:40:16And what might that be?
00:40:18Oh, it's simple.
00:40:20Be my girlfriend.
00:40:22Break things off with James.
00:40:25I'll cover the costs.
00:40:26You're despicable, Michael.
00:40:28Well, call it what you want, but...
00:40:29the choice is yours.
00:40:31I would never...
00:40:33be your girlfriend, Michael Peston.
00:40:35I'll find the money.
00:40:36I don't need yours.
00:40:38I knew you'd say that.
00:40:41Here's the thing.
00:40:42I'm just being generous with this whole...
00:40:44facade.
00:40:45It's not actually up to you.
00:40:46And what makes you think Anne will follow your order?
00:40:49If she doesn't,
00:40:51I'll have James terminated.
00:40:56You do know that actions have consequences, Anne.
00:40:59I think you'll both find this pretty enlightening.
00:41:07James, stop! You'll kill him!
00:41:09James did that?
00:41:11James!
00:41:13Only to protect me from this monster.
00:41:15He tried to rape me.
00:41:18Well, you can't prove that.
00:41:21Let's see, with this footage,
00:41:23I can prove that James has a bit of a temper problem.
00:41:26And I think his manufacturer policy says
00:41:29any robot that does harm to a human
00:41:31is subject for termination.
00:41:34So what's it gonna be, Anne?
00:41:35Choose me?
00:41:36And...
00:41:37save James's life?
00:41:39Well, watch
00:41:40as I have him dismantled
00:41:42piece
00:41:44by piece.
00:41:45Anne, don't do this.
00:41:46Find another way.
00:41:50I'll do it.
00:41:53I'll be your girlfriend.
00:41:55Good girl.
00:41:56I knew you'd see things my way eventually.
00:41:58Anne, you can't be serious.
00:42:01Well,
00:42:02let's settle then.
00:42:04I'm back.
00:42:06James, are you all recovered?
00:42:08Look,
00:42:09they even gave me a new arm.
00:42:15James, we need to talk.
00:42:20What's wrong, Anne?
00:42:23I've been thinking,
00:42:24and I think it's best if we end this.
00:42:27What did I do wrong?
00:42:29I don't know.
00:42:30It's not you, James.
00:42:31No, no, they fixed my components
00:42:32and they reprogrammed me
00:42:33to be even stronger and more capable.
00:42:34It's me.
00:42:35I just can't do this anymore.
00:42:37You're not a human
00:42:38and you'll never be one.
00:42:40I need someone real.
00:42:43Not you.
00:42:44Anne.
00:42:46Anne, please don't do this.
00:42:48James.
00:42:49I love you, Anne.
00:42:50I love you.
00:42:51James, you should find someone else.
00:42:53Someone that's not me.
00:42:55I don't want to.
00:42:57I don't want to.
00:42:58Find someone that's not me.
00:43:00I don't want anything but you.
00:43:01I want...
00:43:04Well, well, well.
00:43:09What do we have here?
00:43:13Michael.
00:43:15I just couldn't bear to be away
00:43:16from my new girlfriend for too long,
00:43:18darling.
00:43:23No, Anne, is this...
00:43:24Is this real?
00:43:29Michael is rich and powerful.
00:43:32And more importantly,
00:43:34he's not a robot like you.
00:43:36You should go, James.
00:43:39Leave.
00:43:59It's not you, James.
00:44:01It's me.
00:44:02I just...
00:44:03I can't do this anymore.
00:44:05You're not a human
00:44:06and you'll never be one.
00:44:08I need someone real.
00:44:09Not you.
00:44:10I can cry.
00:44:29Yeah, boss.
00:44:30Yeah, we got him.
00:44:32Erase his memory.
00:44:34Boss,
00:44:35why don't you just
00:44:36kill the robot?
00:44:38Well, what's the fun in that?
00:44:40I can't wait to see
00:44:41my new girlfriend's face
00:44:42when she finds out about this.
00:44:59Alright, that's it.
00:45:01Send it back to the factory
00:45:02when this is done.
00:45:03Send it back to the factory
00:45:04when this is done.
00:45:28This one is cute.
00:45:30Actually, he's our best model.
00:45:31And he's recently updated.
00:45:32Is he obedient?
00:45:34I want one that can do
00:45:35whatever I want him to do.
00:45:37Yes.
00:45:38Great.
00:45:39Pack this one up
00:45:40and send him to my house.
00:45:42I have to tell you that he...
00:45:45He had a previous owner,
00:45:47but seems like he don't care.
00:45:58Remember,
00:45:59if you don't behave yourself,
00:46:00you can still have James
00:46:01terminated.
00:46:04James?
00:46:05Do I know you?
00:46:06My girlfriend seems to be
00:46:07mixing this person up
00:46:08with someone else.
00:46:09You promised me
00:46:10you wouldn't erase his memory.
00:46:11I promised
00:46:12that I wouldn't have him
00:46:13terminated.
00:46:14I never said anything
00:46:15about not erasing his memory.
00:46:17You bitch.
00:46:20I said back off!
00:46:22Jump off that balcony.
00:46:24No, James, stop!
00:46:25I have to follow
00:46:26my girlfriend's orders.
00:46:31Hannah,
00:46:32I don't know what to do.
00:46:34First,
00:46:35I'm glad you can finally
00:46:36get that psychopath
00:46:37Michael off your back.
00:46:38At least now
00:46:39we can't use James
00:46:40to blackmail you
00:46:41into being his girlfriend.
00:46:42But I've lost James forever.
00:46:44What if I tell you
00:46:45you haven't lost him?
00:46:47What do you mean?
00:46:49After you agreed
00:46:50to Michael's terms,
00:46:51I went back to the factory
00:46:52while James was still
00:46:53being repaired.
00:46:56I backed up his memory.
00:46:57Hannah.
00:47:01You...
00:47:03You still have to
00:47:04put it back in him, though.
00:47:05I know.
00:47:07I have to come up
00:47:08with a plan
00:47:09to get to James first.
00:47:16I feel so sorry
00:47:17for introducing you to Dustin.
00:47:19It's not your fault.
00:47:20How could you know
00:47:21he was a creep?
00:47:22Ugh.
00:47:23Let me make it up to you.
00:47:24Tell me what I can do
00:47:25to help.
00:47:26Do you know
00:47:27Samantha Delaney
00:47:28from the Delaney family?
00:47:30That obnoxious rich girl
00:47:32who bought her way
00:47:33into becoming
00:47:34a fashion influencer?
00:47:35Ugh.
00:47:36She's always wanted
00:47:37to book deal with us,
00:47:38but I turned her down.
00:47:40Can you invite her
00:47:41to your office?
00:47:43Sure.
00:47:45Ask her to bring
00:47:46her boyfriend.
00:47:47This is unacceptable!
00:47:48You sold me
00:47:49a used piece of junk!
00:47:50Ma'am,
00:47:51I tried to tell you,
00:47:52but you didn't listen.
00:47:53Plus, you specifically
00:47:54asked for our best model,
00:47:55and he's the best.
00:47:57You must have felt it, too.
00:47:58He's a very well-suited
00:47:59robot boyfriend.
00:48:02You guys should be grateful
00:48:03I'm not going to sue you.
00:48:07Can you remember
00:48:08anything from before?
00:48:10I don't remember
00:48:11anything from before.
00:48:13I don't remember
00:48:14anything from before.
00:48:15Can you remember
00:48:16anything from before?
00:48:21No.
00:48:22Once the memory
00:48:23is wiped out, he...
00:48:24He shouldn't be able
00:48:25to remember anything.
00:48:28So you can add
00:48:29specific feelings to him, too?
00:48:31What do you mean?
00:48:32I want him to hate
00:48:33his ex-owner.
00:48:35And him.
00:48:37I'm sorry,
00:48:38but we can't do that.
00:48:39Or pay an insane
00:48:40amount of money.
00:48:41Still no.
00:48:42It's extremely unethical
00:48:43for us to do such a thing.
00:48:46Of course.
00:48:47I understand.
00:48:49Just a thought.
00:48:51You two have
00:48:52a wonderful day.
00:49:00James!
00:49:07They say the enemy
00:49:08of my enemy
00:49:09is my friend.
00:49:13I guess that makes
00:49:14us friends.
00:49:15Michael Peston.
00:49:17I guess we are.
00:49:19Samantha Dillon.
00:49:30We can implant
00:49:31negative memories
00:49:32of Anne
00:49:33into James's mind.
00:49:35How do we create
00:49:36those memories?
00:49:37I have been making Anne
00:49:38do a lot of humiliating
00:49:39things this past month.
00:49:41Kept a record
00:49:42of most of them.
00:49:43We could use those.
00:49:45Create the memories.
00:49:47You're so sick, Peston.
00:49:49Do you want to do it?
00:49:51Or not?
00:49:53James was my robot.
00:49:55And he should only be mine.
00:49:58What is it about
00:49:59this robot
00:50:00that makes you
00:50:01and Anne
00:50:02and everybody
00:50:03so goddamn obsessed?
00:50:05Stop!
00:50:06That's why no one
00:50:07likes you.
00:50:10Whatever.
00:50:11Let's just do it.
00:50:13Okay.
00:50:23Now, James.
00:50:26Tell me.
00:50:29How do you feel
00:50:30about Anne Hill?
00:50:33She's disgusting.
00:50:37I hate her.
00:50:42Hmm.
00:50:44It's about time.
00:50:52Welcome, Miss Delaney.
00:50:55We're so glad
00:50:56to have you here.
00:50:58I hope you have
00:50:59a better proposition
00:51:00for me this time.
00:51:01We're very confident
00:51:02that our plan
00:51:03will make your biography
00:51:04a New York bestseller.
00:51:06But first,
00:51:07I'd like to show you
00:51:08around the office.
00:51:10And here we have
00:51:11our lovely green room.
00:51:12There's some champagne
00:51:13and caviar.
00:51:14Don't worry.
00:51:15You can help yourself, okay?
00:51:17Hey!
00:51:20James?
00:51:21We need to talk.
00:51:23It's you again.
00:51:25You must feel something
00:51:26from before.
00:51:27You have to.
00:51:28I can feel it.
00:51:33I don't know
00:51:34what you're talking about.
00:51:35This is your memory
00:51:36from before.
00:51:37Please give it a chance.
00:51:44I'm sorry.
00:51:45I shouldn't put a stop
00:51:46to all of this.
00:51:47You're a crazy stalker.
00:51:49Don't ever talk to me again.
00:51:51You crossed the line,
00:51:52Anne Hill.
00:51:54What is that?
00:51:55It's none of your business.
00:51:57You're gonna pay for this.
00:51:59James, let's go.
00:52:02Could you throw something on?
00:52:04Please.
00:52:06Could you throw something on?
00:52:08Please.
00:52:21It worked.
00:52:23James hates Anne.
00:52:24Of course it worked.
00:52:26I'm sorry.
00:52:27I'm sorry.
00:52:28I'm sorry.
00:52:30I'm sorry.
00:52:31I'm sorry.
00:52:32I'm sorry.
00:52:33I'm sorry.
00:52:34I'm sorry.
00:52:35Of course it worked.
00:52:36You said you wiped out
00:52:37James's memory.
00:52:38Uh-huh.
00:52:42But what if
00:52:43it's backed up somewhere else?
00:52:46What is that?
00:52:47It's none of your business.
00:52:49Well, if that's the case...
00:52:53We'll just have to
00:52:54take this plan
00:52:55to the next level.
00:52:57Please.
00:52:58Wow.
00:53:04Oops.
00:53:08I highly doubt that James can remember anything from before.
00:53:11Once the memory is wiped off, it's gone.
00:53:13But I can feel it.
00:53:14I'm sorry, it's just impossible.
00:53:16Regardless, we should focus on why James acted the way he did.
00:53:20Well, machines develop new learning behaviors all the time.
00:53:23They're constantly evolving.
00:53:25But, or, James might have been fed some negative memories of man.
00:53:31What do you mean?
00:53:32Samantha asked if we could plant negative memories into James.
00:53:37Of course, I rejected it, since it's highly unethical.
00:53:40There are indeed some rumors of a black market where such modifications can be made.
00:53:45Modifications?
00:53:47Basically, to make the robot hate humans.
00:53:52I have to save James.
00:53:55Anne!
00:54:01James!
00:54:12Help!
00:54:14Help!
00:54:16Well, well.
00:54:20Anne, you're underground. I don't think anyone's going to hear you.
00:54:24But I gotta say, I really enjoy watching you struggle.
00:54:27It just, it just makes me want you more.
00:54:30Let me go.
00:54:33Anne, sorry, you can't do that.
00:54:35You see, I told you this wasn't over.
00:54:40You're mine.
00:54:42And only mine.
00:54:46She's gone.
00:54:49It's alright.
00:54:50Anne.
00:54:53Where's James' memory card?
00:54:56Fuck you.
00:54:59We'll get to that.
00:55:01Aha!
00:55:05That's the best you could think of?
00:55:10Well, there you go.
00:55:13No!
00:55:15You know, I really wish I could just destroy him.
00:55:18Completely, just tear him apart.
00:55:22But Samantha insists on making a few minor tweaks to him, so...
00:55:27I'm going to give him free reign.
00:55:34Obedience level set to 100?
00:55:36What happens to him once he gets there?
00:55:39Might even attempt to hurt Anne.
00:55:43Yeah, that's fine, go ahead.
00:55:55No, Michael, James is a sentient being.
00:55:57He has his own feelings and...
00:55:59Shut the fuck up!
00:56:02About the robot.
00:56:05You.
00:56:06You.
00:56:11I'd rather die than let you do this to me!
00:56:17Get off!
00:56:19Heston, you are so disgusting.
00:56:25Whatever.
00:56:26You know, if I can't have you, I might as well just kill you.
00:56:32Murder.
00:56:34Hey.
00:56:35We both got what we wanted.
00:56:37There's no need to-
00:56:38I actually have a better idea.
00:56:39Take her to the roof.
00:56:41And throw her off.
00:56:52James.
00:56:53No, it's me.
00:56:55I'm sorry, Anne.
00:56:56It has to be done.
00:56:58I'm on three.
00:56:59One.
00:57:00Two.
00:57:01Three.
00:57:02What?
00:57:03What the fuck are you doing?
00:57:05Get off of me!
00:57:06Get off of me!
00:57:07Leave him alone.
00:57:08Get out of my sight!
00:57:09Get off of me!
00:57:10Get off!
00:57:11Stop!
00:57:14James?
00:57:28I won't let them hurt me.
00:57:29I won't let them use me to hurt anyone.
00:57:31You've developed self-consciousness?
00:57:37Does this mean you remember me?
00:57:39Fortunately, no.
00:57:42I developed self-consciousness quite recently.
00:57:44I can't remember anything before that.
00:57:47I just...
00:57:50I knew that I shouldn't hate you or hurt you.
00:57:53Your memory card was also destroyed.
00:57:56I know, right?
00:57:59Self-consciousness can help us develop more new memories.
00:58:02You may be a robot, but you have worth.
00:58:05You're...
00:58:06Human than human.
00:58:08Whenever you're present, I...
00:58:10I feel something.
00:58:11Like I really have a heart.
00:58:14So I'd love to create new memories with you.
00:58:21Anne!
00:58:26Anne!
00:58:32I did it!
00:58:39Okay.
00:58:44All done, boss.
00:58:47Hey!
00:58:48Let me go!
00:58:49You crossed me, Samantha.
00:58:52You broke my trust.
00:58:54Michael, just stop.
00:58:55You're out of control now.
00:58:56On the contrary.
00:58:59It's finally under my control.
00:59:03Once and for all,
00:59:05a robot is just an inferior being that doesn't deserve to have its own thoughts.
00:59:11I'm going to destroy that goddamn robot.
00:59:14You can't do that, you piece of shit!
00:59:20Wash your mouth, bitch.
00:59:22Or you'll be next.
00:59:24You killed Michael!
00:59:25Stop!
00:59:27You're going to kill him!
00:59:28Stop!
00:59:35Let me go!
00:59:54What?
00:59:57What?
00:59:59No.
01:00:00No.
01:00:01Please stop!
01:00:03Sorry, miss.
01:00:04Just doing the job I'm getting paid to.
01:00:06James has developed self-consciousness.
01:00:09Killing him would be like killing a human.
01:00:12Is that true?
01:00:13Please.
01:00:14What the hell's going on in here?
01:00:16I told you.
01:00:17I told you.
01:00:18I told you.
01:00:20I told you.
01:00:21I told you.
01:00:22I told you.
01:00:23Shut this tin can down right away.
01:00:25Just getting ready to shut this robot down.
01:00:31Now you're going to watch as I shut down this pile of metal garbage.
01:00:38No!
01:00:41Any last words?
01:00:42No!
01:00:44Psych!
01:00:49James.
01:00:52James.
01:00:56You know what?
01:00:59I think I'm going to finish what I started.
01:01:03You know, Anne,
01:01:06you should have never rejected me in the first place.
01:01:09Stop right there!
01:01:12You're under arrest for multiple charges,
01:01:15including assault, abduction, blackmail, and illegal termination of property.
01:01:23Come on.
01:01:27Get your hands off me.
01:01:29Do you know who I am?
01:01:30Untie him.
01:01:31Do you know who my dad is?
01:01:32Yeah, yeah.
01:01:46Is that what true love is like?
01:01:53How can I help you, Ms. Delaney?
01:01:55Before everything went down, I backed up James' memory.
01:01:59I need you to make a new James with it.
01:02:04James was one of a kind.
01:02:06I'm not sure if I could replicate him.
01:02:08The new body may not be compatible with the old memory.
01:02:11And even if I could, it would still take months.
01:02:14Just try.
01:02:16Please.
01:02:18I'm begging you.
01:02:19Just try.
01:02:21Please.
01:02:22You must have really loved James.
01:02:25No.
01:02:27I mean, to me, I just considered him another disposable robot toy.
01:02:31Then why?
01:02:34Because I realized robot toys could develop human emotions too.
01:02:39It seemed like James and Anne really loved each other.
01:02:44And as cheesy as it sounds to me, I admire that.
01:02:49So I...
01:02:51I want to give James back to Anne.
01:02:54You're actually a good person.
01:02:55Not you too.
01:02:57Is everyone fucking cheesy and soft nowadays?
01:03:19I love you.
01:03:21I love you.
01:03:49I love you.
01:04:20I love you.
01:04:21I love you.
01:04:22I love you.
01:04:23I love you.
01:04:24I love you.
01:04:25I love you.
01:04:26I love you.
01:04:27I love you.
01:04:28I love you.
01:04:29I love you.
01:04:30I love you.
01:04:31I love you.
01:04:32I love you.
01:04:33I love you.
01:04:34I love you.
01:04:35I love you.
01:04:36I love you.
01:04:37I love you.
01:04:38I love you.
01:04:39I love you.
01:04:40I love you.
01:04:41I love you.
01:04:42I love you.
01:04:43I love you.
01:04:44I love you.
01:04:45I love you.
01:04:46I love you.
01:04:47I love you.
01:04:48I love you.
01:04:49I love you.
01:04:50I love you.
01:04:51I love you.
01:04:52I love you.
01:04:53I love you.
01:04:54I love you.
01:04:55I love you.
01:04:56I love you.
01:04:57I love you.
01:04:58I love you.
01:04:59Thank you all for coming tonight.
01:05:00I'm grateful for the support.
01:05:01Yes.
01:05:02What inspired your novel?
01:05:03It's inspired by my own life story.
01:05:08I learned the true meaning of love from an unexpected source, a robot named James.
01:05:13He taught me that love knows no bounds.
01:05:17and that true love transcends the limitations of the physical world.
01:05:20And now, if you'll indulge me, I would like to read a passage from the book.
01:05:25He was more than just a machine. He was my confidant, my companion, my love.
01:05:31In his eyes I found solace, in his touch I felt whole.
01:05:35And though he may have been made of metal and wires,
01:05:39his heart beat with a love that was as real as any human's.
01:05:47Hello, Ed.
