00:00:00Now remember, you're here because of me, so don't go embarrassing me now.
00:00:12Rachel, it's been a while.
00:00:14You're very sexy.
00:00:17So are you going to come over tonight?
00:00:18Oh, yeah.
00:00:19Who is she?
00:00:21Oh, it's just my girlfriend.
00:00:24She can watch us.
00:00:25Okay.
00:00:30I think you're forgetting her place, Anne.
00:00:33Remember, if you don't behave yourself, you can still have James terminated.
00:00:43James?
00:00:44Darling.
00:00:46Yes?
00:00:47Would you like me to get you a drink?
00:00:50James?
00:00:52Excuse me.
00:00:53Do I know you?
00:01:00James, who's this?
00:01:08I'm not sure.
00:01:09What's happening?
00:01:11Excuse me, miss.
00:01:12This is very inappropriate.
00:01:14I don't know you.
00:01:15And I already have a girlfriend.
00:01:16Get your hands off of him.
00:01:19Who invited this woman to this party anyways?
00:01:21That's my girlfriend.
00:01:22Okay.
00:01:24But the little family stopped embarrassing me.
00:01:27Well, well, well.
00:01:28Isn't it the infamous Michael Huston?
00:01:31Why am I not surprised?
00:01:33You seem to always pick up strates.
00:01:35And you always lower the bar.
00:01:38Humans aren't good enough for you now?
00:01:41I know your boyfriend's a robot.
00:01:44Oh, don't worry.
00:01:44I won't say a word.
00:01:46Just keep your mouth shut.
00:01:50False alarm.
00:01:51My girlfriend seems to be mixing this person up with someone else.
00:01:54James, let's go.
00:01:58Please, James.
00:02:05What is this?
00:02:06Some sort of melodrama?
00:02:08It's so fucking ridiculous.
00:02:09James, let's go.
00:02:20I'm sorry, dear.
00:02:22I don't have something in the house.
00:02:23I thought robots remember everything.
00:02:25To make us more human, they make us imperfect.
00:02:29Because...
00:02:29Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:32Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:35What's wrong?
00:02:38Nothing.
00:02:39Perhaps just a slight malfunction.
00:02:40It just keeps on and on.
00:02:43And they say you're the perfect model.
00:02:46I'm sorry.
00:02:47But I'm all right now.
00:02:48I'll be right back.
00:02:49I'll be right back.
00:02:53Bitch.
00:02:55You made me a laughingstock.
00:02:58You promised me you wouldn't erase his memory.
00:03:00I promised that I wouldn't have him terminated.
00:03:03I never said anything about not erasing his memory.
00:03:06Now, he's not going to remember you anymore.
00:03:09Come on.
00:03:10No, not anymore, you lying piece of shit.
00:03:12How dare you.
00:03:17You bitch.
00:03:21That's enough.
00:03:27Back off.
00:03:29Or I'll call the police.
00:03:30You still remember me?
00:03:32No.
00:03:32I just don't like seeing a man lay his hands on a woman.
00:03:36I said back off!
00:03:39You're going to regret this.
00:03:44Take care, miss.
00:03:45What do you think you're doing?
00:03:48Who gave you permission to help another girl?
00:03:50I apologize, Samantha.
00:03:52Were you flirting with her?
00:03:54That is unacceptable.
00:03:56Of course not.
00:03:57I'm yours.
00:03:58And only yours.
00:04:00How do you prove it?
00:04:01Whatever you want me to do.
00:04:06Jump off that balcony.
00:04:10Then I'll believe you.
00:04:11Of course.
00:04:15James?
00:04:22James, no!
00:04:23Please don't do this!
00:04:25I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:04:26No, James, stop!
00:04:28Why would you ask him to do this?
00:04:29You know he has to follow the orders of his owner.
00:04:31You may be a robot, but you have feelings.
00:04:34You have worth.
00:04:35You're...
00:04:35We're human than human.
00:04:37You're...
00:04:37Human than human.
00:04:39How do you know he's a robot?
00:04:40I was James' last owner.
00:04:42His ex-girlfriend.
00:04:44They fucking sold me a used one?
00:04:47Oh, they're going to get in so much trouble!
00:04:49James!
00:04:49Come on, now!
00:04:52James!
00:04:52I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:05:03I'm coming!
00:05:11What the...
00:05:11Good morning, birthday girl!
00:05:17You delivered a dead guy to me!
00:05:19Oh my god, he's not breathing!
00:05:20What the...
00:05:21Did he die during transportation?
00:05:22Oh my god, oh my god, we're going to be in so much trouble!
00:05:24He's not a real person.
00:05:26My friend has his company, and they're testing out their newest AI boyfriend product.
00:05:29I thought you could use company, you know?
00:05:30It's been a while since you dated anyone.
00:05:32Wait, wait, wait.
00:05:33Are you signing me up for a robot boyfriend?
00:05:35Just give it a chance.
00:05:36You might actually like him.
00:05:38Right.
00:05:39Like I'd never have a robot be my boyfriend.
00:05:41No.
00:05:42I'm returning it.
00:05:54What's your name, beautiful?
00:05:59Um...
00:05:59Um...
00:06:00Oh, just let me down, Jesus Christ.
00:06:03It's wrong.
00:06:04Yeah.
00:06:04Um...
00:06:07God, no, can't be tempted.
00:06:10Where is the switch?
00:06:13I feel the strength in my arms.
00:06:17I can see the color around me.
00:06:21James, what if we could put that strength to good use?
00:06:29Follow me, James Alta.
00:06:34This is your chance to put that strength to good use.
00:06:37Help me clean up this mess.
00:06:39Easy peasy.
00:06:41An alpha male like me can make anything happen.
00:06:45Girlfriend.
00:06:47Oh, I'm not your girlfriend, nor your woman.
00:06:49Just...
00:06:50Just...
00:06:51Just...
00:06:52Get to work.
00:07:01What are you doing?
00:07:03I thought you were going to make it clean.
00:07:05Why is it even worse?
00:07:06Well, actually, cleaning isn't included in my factory settings.
00:07:09But...
00:07:10Cleaning's not important.
00:07:11As an alpha male type, let me show you how I take charge.
00:07:21You know what?
00:07:23I wish the word no was included in your factory settings.
00:07:27Stop trying to kiss me.
00:07:28Stop trying to carry me in your arms.
00:07:29You know what?
00:07:30Just stay away from me.
00:07:32You're lost.
00:07:33But don't worry.
00:07:35I'll be ready for our next fairytale moment.
00:07:37You know what?
00:07:38I think it's time to teach the CEO how to clean.
00:07:42You did a good job.
00:08:00I'm glad that I can spoil you.
00:08:02I didn't ask you to spoil me.
00:08:04You're just doing your job as part of the household.
00:08:06Which is...
00:08:07Being a masculine and dominant CEO of this...
00:08:11tiny apartment.
00:08:12I won't let my wife in.
00:08:15I won't let you down.
00:08:18Just...
00:08:19Don't talk to me for the next two hours.
00:08:22Okay?
00:08:23Okay?
00:08:24Ah!
00:08:42What are you doing?
00:08:50To keep you company?
00:08:51To keep you company.
00:08:57No.
00:08:58This isn't right.
00:09:00Come on, Anne.
00:09:03Let me show you just how I can care for you.
00:09:05No, no.
00:09:06I want real love.
00:09:07Not some sex service from a robot.
00:09:09But I do love you, Anne.
00:09:10Love me?
00:09:12You don't even know me.
00:09:12You're Anne Hill.
00:09:1328.
00:09:14The only daughter of Danny and Amanda Hill.
00:09:16You went to UCLA.
00:09:17You majored in English literature.
00:09:19Your cholesterol is a little bit high and...
00:09:21Not these, James.
00:09:22The real me.
00:09:23You're programmed to love me, but that's not real love.
00:09:26It is real love.
00:09:29You're just a robot.
00:09:30You wouldn't know.
00:09:30Sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:09:34No.
00:09:35You're just a robot without a heart.
00:09:37You're just stating a fact.
00:09:40I need to apologize.
00:09:43Here.
00:09:45Sex service function, my own sanity.
00:09:48I'm gonna turn it off.
00:09:52I'll be in the living room, Anne Hill.
00:10:00I've read your newest novel, and it's good, but...
00:10:06But what?
00:10:07You've been having dry spells, haven't you?
00:10:09You've got to get yourself out there to get inspired.
00:10:12Guess what?
00:10:13My friend Dustin is visiting me today.
00:10:15Lillian, I'm not into blind dates or setups.
00:10:18You two would hit it off.
00:10:20Hi.
00:10:21I'm Dustin.
00:10:22Nice to meet you.
00:10:24Anne, nice to meet you, too.
00:10:26I'll leave you two to it.
00:10:30I must say, it was a pleasant surprise.
00:10:35Do you want to exchange contact info?
00:10:37Sure.
00:10:39Just...
00:10:39Put your number.
00:10:45Jim?
00:10:46Time to go.
00:10:47Jim!
00:10:49Catch God away just like that.
00:10:55Jim!
00:10:56Jim!
00:10:57Hold me down!
00:11:00What the hell, James?
00:11:01How did you even know I was here?
00:11:02I don't want you talking to that guy again.
00:11:04Wait, have you been following me?
00:11:05Anne, please, just listen.
00:11:07I didn't want...
00:11:07No, James.
00:11:08I'm done listening to you.
00:11:10You have no right to follow me, let alone tell me who I can and can't see.
00:11:13But I'm your boyfriend.
00:11:15I'm also a dominant CEO type, and it's my responsibility to protect you.
00:11:18Except that you're not!
00:11:19I only kept you to help me with household chores.
00:11:21Nothing more.
00:11:23You're also far from a CEO.
00:11:25How many businesses have you run?
00:11:26James, if you keep doing stuff like this, I'll have no choice but to return you to the factory.
00:11:34Let's just go home.
00:11:35I only have a choice but to return you to the factory.
00:11:56I'm sorry.
00:11:56I'm sorry.
00:11:57I'm sorry.
00:11:58I'm sorry.
00:11:58I'm sorry.
00:11:59I'm sorry.
00:11:59I'm sorry.
00:11:59I'm not sorry.
00:12:00I'm sorry.
00:12:01The number you dialed is not a working number.
00:12:25Please check the number and dial again.
00:12:27I can't fully understand human emotions yet, but...
00:12:31You seem to have something on your mind.
00:12:33Dustin blocked me.
00:12:35Well, I just told him not to contact you.
00:12:37I didn't think he'd block you.
00:12:38You what?
00:12:40James, I told you not to interfere with my life.
00:12:43That's it. I'm not sure the need of the fact.
00:12:45No, but I was just trying to help.
00:12:45Well, I'm finding the remote that came to the box.
00:12:47No, just... just a little...
00:12:49What's next?
00:12:55I checked Dustin's records and his online trace.
00:12:58He takes nude photos of his dates and he puts them on the dark web.
00:13:01That's why I didn't want you to talk to him.
00:13:03Great.
00:13:04So the only guy I hit it off with in years turns out to be a pervert.
00:13:08I don't understand.
00:13:09You dodged the bullet.
00:13:12Why do you look so sad?
00:13:14Did I upset you?
00:13:16No, James. It's not your fault.
00:13:19I guess I just have terrible luck with men.
00:13:21There goes my date.
00:13:26That was a sign to make you feel better.
00:13:30Would you like it if I took you on a date instead?
00:13:33Not as a boyfriend.
00:13:34Just as a friend.
00:13:37You know what?
00:13:39Fuck it.
00:13:40Let's do it.
00:13:41It looks nice.
00:13:55Shall we?
00:13:55Hi, welcome.
00:14:07Can I get you started with anything?
00:14:09Oh, I'm still looking at the menu.
00:14:10Gotcha.
00:14:11It's our first time here.
00:14:12Of course.
00:14:13Yeah.
00:14:14No.
00:14:15Not everyone can afford to dine here.
00:14:17You guys do know that it is a thousand dollar minimum consumption?
00:14:19A thousand dollars per person?
00:14:22That's crazy.
00:14:23Perhaps we should go.
00:14:25Well, perhaps you shouldn't have come here in the first place.
00:14:28One thousand dollars.
00:14:29Yeah.
00:14:30Easy peasy.
00:14:34We'll have the caviar appetizer to start,
00:14:37followed by the wagyu steak with the truffle mashed potatoes,
00:14:40and don't forget the lobster tail is aside.
00:14:42Oh, and please bring us a bottle of your finest Pinot Noir.
00:14:45Jeez.
00:14:46I can't afford that.
00:14:47Why am I not surprised?
00:14:49If she can't afford it, then please leave.
00:14:51I'll take care of her, Bill.
00:14:53In that case,
00:14:55do you mind paying in advance its policy for first-time patrons?
00:15:02Of course.
00:15:08Thank you, sir.
00:15:10Um, please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you guys.
00:15:12I'm going to be glad to do it.
00:15:15So.
00:15:15You can stay here and serve us.
00:15:18We'd also appreciate a bigger smile.
00:15:19And then who knows?
00:15:21Maybe we'll leave you a bit.
00:15:22Right on it.
00:15:28Is there anything else I can do for you guys?
00:15:30Okay, man.
00:15:31You can go now.
00:15:32Where did that money come from?
00:15:37My actinous justice bank account.
00:15:38I can't believe you did that.
00:15:42Ah, I'm so full.
00:15:46Me too.
00:15:47You didn't even eat because you can't eat human food.
00:15:49I like watching you eat.
00:15:50Mom, Dad, what, what a surprise.
00:16:03Come on.
00:16:04Sweetheart.
00:16:05What do you know you had a guest?
00:16:07You must be Danny and Amanda.
00:16:08Yeah.
00:16:08It's so nice to meet you.
00:16:10Oh.
00:16:13Honey, it is so good to see that you are not alone.
00:16:20We've been worried about you.
00:16:22Yes.
00:16:23It's about time you found someone special.
00:16:26Especially such a cute guy like James.
00:16:29Honey.
00:16:29Of course, you're the cutest.
00:16:31Honey.
00:16:33We two make each other happy.
00:16:34I'd like to make Anne happy, too.
00:16:35Aw.
00:16:38James, you're a good guy.
00:16:41I was manufactured to be Anne's boyfriend.
00:16:46What do you mean manufactured?
00:16:48Mom, Dad, you know, it's getting so late.
00:16:51I hate you.
00:16:51I'm an artificial intelligence.
00:16:52I was manufactured by Alta Technology.
00:16:57Artificial intelligence?
00:16:58What are you talking about?
00:17:00In common terms, I'm a robot programmed to serve Anne's needs.
00:17:03I provide a boyfriend experience and sex services, including all kinds of kinky sexual activities.
00:17:08Stop, James.
00:17:09Don't talk about that.
00:17:10Anne, this is absurd.
00:17:13You've been single for so long that now you're fetishizing a robot?
00:17:17You've got to stop the fetishizing?
00:17:20The fantasy.
00:17:21You can't be in a relationship with a machine.
00:17:24No, Dad.
00:17:24I am not in a relationship with him.
00:17:26Anne and I were just about to kiss when you walked in.
00:17:28James, you are not helping.
00:17:30Should we prove it?
00:17:31No, Mom, Dad, it's not what you think.
00:17:34I'm the dominant masculine CEO of this tiny...
00:17:36James temporarily shut down.
00:17:41Honey, maybe we should get one.
00:17:44Amanda, please be serious.
00:17:46Right.
00:17:47Anne, sweetheart.
00:17:48We realize that you might be going through a rough patch, but this isn't the solution.
00:17:53You've got to meet somebody real.
00:17:55Who can also make you happy.
00:17:57I have heard there are dating apps designed for people into kinky...
00:18:03Phil's mom.
00:18:04No, I don't want that.
00:18:05Honey, we just want what's best for you, but a robot is not it.
00:18:10My friend Leslie's son is a...
00:18:13Well, he's a real catch.
00:18:15He's kind.
00:18:16He's successful.
00:18:18He's charming.
00:18:18Charming?
00:18:19You should meet him.
00:18:21Mom, Dad, I...
00:18:22Sweetheart, please just give it a chance.
00:18:24He's charming.
00:18:25I'm very charming.
00:18:26Charming.
00:18:26Charming.
00:18:27Fine.
00:18:29I'll meet him.
00:18:42Michael Peston.
00:18:44Anne Hill.
00:18:45It's been ages.
00:18:46You look stunning, as always.
00:18:48Your mom knows my mom?
00:18:49Yeah.
00:18:50When I found out, I asked her to set up a date.
00:18:52You want to dance?
00:19:11No, thanks.
00:19:14Come on.
00:19:15How can you turn this down?
00:19:17Dance off, you creep.
00:19:27All right, I've asked you out.
00:19:29And now you're not going to dance with me?
00:19:31Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:19:32Someone who doesn't waste time on boys who think they can charm their way into anything.
00:19:37I'd like to go on a date with you.
00:19:41Fuck off.
00:19:43You'll regret this!
00:19:50What do you want, Michael?
00:19:54Look, I know you don't trust me.
00:19:57I was a total jerk back then, but I've done a lot of growing up since college.
00:20:01I'm not the same guy.
00:20:03Really?
00:20:03Yeah.
00:20:04I want to apologize to you.
00:20:07I'm sorry for my behavior.
00:20:10If you want me to leave, I understand.
00:20:13No.
00:20:14It's okay.
00:20:14You can stay.
00:20:17Thanks.
00:20:18So what have you been up to?
00:20:20Well, I started my own tech startup.
00:20:23We're doing really well, actually.
00:20:25I'm surprised you didn't just go work for your dad.
00:20:27Well, he actually is my angel investor, so...
00:20:32Why am I not surprised?
00:20:35I know.
00:20:36You think I'm just this trust fund baby who has everything handed to him, but I'm much more than that.
00:20:41I started my own charity for underprivileged kids.
00:20:45It's been incredibly rewarding.
00:20:47Here.
00:20:47Here.
00:20:47What's been up with you?
00:21:05And I've had a wonderful time.
00:21:07Would you let me drive you home?
00:21:09That would be lovely.
00:21:10Okay.
00:21:10Okay, your place or mine.
00:21:19What?
00:21:19I mean, you agreed to have me drive you home, but play with one of them sins.
00:21:24Are you kidding me?
00:21:26That's far from the truth.
00:21:28That would be such a prude.
00:21:30We had my son.
00:21:31I paid for the food.
00:21:33I left at your stupid jokes.
00:21:34I complimented you.
00:21:36You haven't changed a bit, Michael Piston.
00:21:38It was all but a lie.
00:21:39You should tell me to tell she's a little bitch.
00:21:41I don't have to be charged.
00:21:44Get off of me!
00:21:48Michael, get off!
00:21:52Are you kidding me?
00:21:53The more it makes me want you, more.
00:21:55I can tell.
00:21:56You want me, too.
00:22:00Ow!
00:22:01Fuck!
00:22:03Bitch!
00:22:04Bitch!
00:22:04Lay another hand on her.
00:22:10You're finished.
00:22:14What the hell are you?
00:22:16What the hell are you?
00:22:17Man's boyfriend.
00:22:19Boyfriend?
00:22:21I knew it.
00:22:22You're a fucking slut!
00:22:23Oh!
00:22:24Oh!
00:22:24Oh!
00:22:25Oh!
00:22:26Oh!

00:22:32James, stop!
00:22:33You're killing him!
00:22:34I am gonna kill him!
00:22:35James, no!
00:22:36He's not worth it!
00:22:37Let's go!
00:22:37Oh!
00:22:40James.
00:22:40James.
00:22:40Oh!
00:22:40Oh!
00:22:41Oh!
00:22:41Oh!
00:22:42Oh!
00:22:43Oh!
00:22:43Oh!
00:22:43Oh!
00:22:44Oh!
00:22:44Oh!
00:22:44Oh!

00:22:49Oh!
00:22:49Oh!
00:22:50Oh!
00:22:50Oh!
00:22:51James, I don't understand.
00:23:09How were you there to save me?
00:23:10I shut you down.
00:23:12The temporary shutdown only lasts 24 hours.
00:23:15I rebooted myself after that time elapsed.
00:23:19I don't know what I would have done without you.
00:23:21Oh!
00:23:22It's okay.
00:23:23I'll just go home.
00:23:23Oh!
00:23:24Hi.
00:23:24Hi.
00:23:25Look.
00:23:26Can you see what happened?
00:23:27Hmm.
00:23:29Well, you sure you don't want to follow the initial part?
00:23:33All right, then you get to go, Ms. Hille.
00:23:35All right.
00:23:35Thank you, doctor.
00:23:40Please, stop!
00:23:40You're killing him!
00:23:41I am gonna kill him!
00:23:42James!
00:23:45James, can you go get me some water?
00:23:47Of course.
00:23:47Yeah.
00:23:51Hi, is this Alta Technology?
00:23:57Yeah, I have a robot boyfriend, and I was just wondering, if the robot ever caused harm
00:24:05to a human, what would happen?
00:24:12Deactivation and termination, what do you mean by termination?
00:24:16The robot would be destroyed?
00:24:18I can't do that to James.
00:24:22What?
00:24:23No, no, there's nothing wrong.
00:24:25I was just...
00:24:26Anyway, I was just curious.
00:24:28Thank you so much.
00:24:29Bye.
00:24:38What's wrong, Ann?
00:24:39It was just a work call.
00:24:41Told my editor I need a few more days on my draft.
00:24:48You know that I can hear everything around me, including your phone call, right?
00:24:54You want to terminate me?
00:24:56No, I can't shake off what happened earlier.
00:25:00You were...
00:25:02so angry.
00:25:03I was just trying to help.
00:25:05But you were almost out of control.
00:25:07I thought you were programmed not to cause any harm to humans.
00:25:14I don't know what came over me.
00:25:17I can't understand it either.
00:25:19But what I do know is I would never do anything to hurt you.
00:25:23And if you don't believe me, you can send me back to the factory.
00:25:25I didn't say that.
00:25:27But you need to control yourself.
00:25:30Let me teach you to control yourself.
00:25:33Let me teach you how to be human.
00:25:36Small talk.
00:25:37One of humanity's most useless yet inescapable inventions.
00:25:48For example, the weather is so nice today.
00:25:51I'm having a great day.
00:25:53You are?
00:25:54James.
00:25:55It doesn't matter whether I am or not.
00:25:57All you need to say is,
00:25:59Oh, wow!
00:26:00That's amazing!
00:26:03Oh, wow!
00:26:04That's amazing.
00:26:05Hm.
00:26:06Not bad.
00:26:07I do hope your day is going amazing so far, though.
00:26:09I hope I'm one of the reasons.
00:26:14Now, another thing.
00:26:16Cooking.
00:26:17Just because you can't eat human food doesn't mean you can't cook human food.
00:26:24Look!
00:26:43Damn!
00:26:44He's good.
00:26:45I can't let him find out I'm a bad cook.
00:26:50Another human trait.
00:26:52Imperfection makes perfection.
00:26:55Just like you.
00:26:56Imperfect.
00:26:58But perfect.
00:27:02After dinner, I have another task for you.
00:27:04What is it?
00:27:05We'll see.
00:27:12Why are you crying here?
00:27:13It's just so sad.
00:27:15It's just a movie.
00:27:16It's not just a movie, James.
00:27:18It's about love.
00:27:20Marguerite sacrifices her life for Armand because she loves him so much.
00:27:25Their love is so pure.
00:27:27So powerful.
00:27:30What is love?
00:27:31Love is that uncontrollable feeling of wanting to give everything to the other person.
00:27:42It means sacrificing your own life.
00:27:44I want to give everything I have to you.
00:27:45I don't have a real life, but if I did, I'd give it to you too.
00:27:57It's about time.
00:27:58I don't want to give it to Mike.
00:27:59I don't want to give it to you.
00:28:00I can give it to you.
00:28:01No.
00:28:02I can give it to you.
00:28:03I can give it to me.
00:28:04You guys love it.
00:28:05You're so funny.
00:28:06You're so funny.
00:28:07We are so happy.
00:28:08You're so happy I'm going to get to believe in your life.
00:28:09You're so happy.
00:28:10It's not real.
00:28:11It's not real.
00:28:26It'll never be real.
00:28:41Is everything alright?
00:28:43My old college roommate Jessica wants to get dinner.
00:28:45Is this a social gathering in which you could bring a significant other?
00:28:50No.
00:28:51And again, you're not my boyfriend.
00:28:55Can I still come?
00:28:58James, I don't think you're ready for that.
00:29:01And I don't want everyone to know you're a robot.
00:29:03I understand.
00:29:06I promise I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
00:29:09Anne, you made it.
00:29:25Jessica, this isn't what you said it would be.
00:29:31Oh, did I forget to mention?
00:29:35Michael insisted on hosting a little gathering and I thought it would be fun to surprise you.
00:29:39So you're working with Michael Peston to humiliate me?
00:29:44Great.
00:29:45Well, well, well, little Amy Hill, a girl who can't take a hint, has come to grace us with
00:29:51her presence.
00:29:53You know, Anne here once confessed her undying love for me.
00:29:59Sorry, sweetheart.
00:30:01You're just not my type.
00:30:03That's not true.
00:30:04I never said any of that.
00:30:06What?
00:30:07Sorry, Miss, but Mr. Peston requested your presence.
00:30:11Here's how it's gonna go, Anne.
00:30:13You're gonna kiss my shoes and beg for forgiveness.
00:30:17Or...
00:30:18Actually, that's the only option.
00:30:21Hey, give that back.
00:30:26What's the matter, Anne?
00:30:27Are you afraid of a little kiss?
00:30:28I won't do that, Michael.
00:30:30Oh.
00:30:31Oh.
00:30:32Okay.
00:30:33Sorry.
00:30:34My mistake.
00:30:35In that case...
00:30:36Why don't you drink this instead?
00:30:37Yeah, this bottle of spiritous vodka.
00:30:38You drink the entire thing, and I'll forgive you.
00:30:39Oh, it is the highest proof spirit in the world.
00:30:42Michael?
00:30:43You know I don't drink.
00:30:44Oh, she doesn't drink.
00:30:45Well, I guess I'll have to help you then.
00:30:46Open up.
00:30:47No, Michael, please.
00:30:48Here we go.
00:30:49Here we go.
00:30:50God, ÅŸurAnd let me issned.
00:30:51There we go.
00:30:52Oh, it is the highest proof spirit in the world.
00:30:54Michael?
00:30:56You know I don't drink.
00:30:58Oh, she doesn't drink.
00:30:59Well, I guess I'll have to help you then.
00:31:01Open up!
00:31:02No, Michael, please.
00:31:03Here we go.
00:31:04Michael, go!

00:32:33and he'll is really not worth it you still have me
00:32:43what do you know about this James guy how did he treat the whole
00:32:50this makes sense there's something off about Michael let's forget about them
00:33:00and let's focus on us go okay
00:33:07we should want a background check on this James guy I want to know everything about
00:33:12his family where he's from where he ships where he eats everything just just
00:33:18longer
00:33:28it's James are you alright it's actually corroding my circuitry why did you do
00:33:37that then one said to me that love is the uncontrollable desire to give the other
00:33:41person everything so even if that means sacrifice of your own life I wanted to do
00:33:47that for you and if you don't technically have a life
00:33:51you're more human than human
00:33:58but let's not talk about that now we have to get you to the factory let's go get you repaired
00:34:07my robot needs repairs urgently
00:34:23going around to him it's a long story can you fix it
00:34:28we need to replace some damaged components and reprogram him but it will be cheap since it's outside the warranty coverage
00:34:37how much how much is it going to cost
00:34:39$80,000 honestly if I were you I would just get a new one I don't want a new robot I want him back I will try to get the money just do whatever it takes to fix it
00:34:50very well we'll get started right away but it's going to take some time
00:35:05I got some intel that James turns out he's a robot I came as soon as I heard the news I'm so sorry Ann
00:35:19I don't know what I'd do without you
00:35:26I only have $10,000 in extra cash how much do you need to fix James?
00:35:34I have $20,000 myself but that's it even with your money I still need $50,000 more
00:35:40this is all my fault for getting you into this mess if I hadn't signed you up for the robot in the first place
00:35:46don't blame yourself Hannah James may be a robot but he's loved me like no one ever has
00:35:53I wouldn't trade that for anything
00:35:55hello Ann
00:36:09what do you want again? I know everything about your friend James
00:36:14wow what a small pathetic apartment
00:36:21you know you're my girlfriend you would live in the nicest mansion
00:36:26leave or we will call the police
00:36:28no you won't
00:36:30I'm sorry who are you?
00:36:32I'm Ann's best friend
00:36:33the one who got her the robot
00:36:35tell me what's your plan for getting him back to her?
00:36:38that's none of your business
00:36:40it's every bit my business actually
00:36:42I know you're having some hard times covering the money to pay for his repairs
00:36:47I have a bit of a proposition for you
00:36:48and what might that be?
00:36:50oh it's simple
00:36:52be my girlfriend
00:36:54break things off with James
00:36:56I'll cover the costs
00:36:57you're despicable Michael
00:36:59well call it what you want but the choice is yours
00:37:02I would never be your girlfriend Michael Peston
00:37:06I'll find the money
00:37:07I don't need yours
00:37:08I knew you'd say that
00:37:10here's the thing
00:37:12I'm just being generous with this whole facade
00:37:15it's not actually up to you
00:37:16and what makes you think Ann will follow your order?
00:37:18if she doesn't
00:37:20I'll have James terminated
00:37:22you do know that actions have consequences Ann
00:37:27I think you'll both find this pretty enlightening
00:37:35James stop and kill him
00:37:36James did that?
00:37:38James!
00:37:39only to protect me from this monster
00:37:41he tried to rape me
00:37:43well you can't prove that
00:37:46let's see with this footage
00:37:48I can prove that James has a bit of a temper problem
00:37:51and I think his manufacturer policy says
00:37:54any robot that does harm to a human
00:37:56is subject for termination
00:37:58so what's it gonna be Ann?
00:38:00choose me
00:38:01and save James's life
00:38:03well watch
00:38:05as I have him dismantled

00:38:40James we need to talk
00:38:41what's wrong Ann?
00:38:47I've been thinking

00:38:50what did I do wrong?
00:38:52it's not you James
00:38:54they fixed my components
00:38:55they reprogrammed me to be even stronger and more capable

00:44:25no

00:47:17you have to i can feel it

00:47:26please give it a chance
00:47:27i'm sorry
00:47:28i should have put a stop to all of this
00:47:30you're a crazy stalker
00:47:35don't ever talk to me again
00:47:37you've lost the line ann hill
00:47:40what's that
00:47:42it's none of your business
00:47:44you're gonna pay for this
00:47:46james let's go
00:47:47let's go
00:47:58could you throw something on
00:48:00please
00:48:01it worked
00:48:02james hates ann
00:48:16of course it worked
00:48:18you said you wiped out james memory
00:48:19but what if
00:48:23it's backed up somewhere else
00:48:25what's that
00:48:26it's none of your business
00:48:28well if that's the case
00:48:30we'll just have to take this plan to the next level
00:48:35please
00:48:36please
00:48:41thank you
00:48:43oops
00:48:47i highly doubt that james can remember anything from before
00:48:50once the memory is wiped off it's gone
00:48:52but i can feel it
00:48:53i'm sorry it's just impossible
00:48:55regardless we should focus on why james acted the way he did
00:48:58well machines develop new learning behaviors all the time
00:49:00they're constantly evolving
00:49:02that
00:49:04or
00:49:05james might have been fed some negative memories of man
00:49:08what do you mean
00:49:09samantha asked if we could plant negative memories into james
00:49:13of course i rejected it since it's highly unethical
00:49:16there are indeed some rumors of a black market where such modifications can be made
00:49:21modifications
00:49:23basically to make the robot hate humans
00:49:27i have to save james
00:49:29and
00:49:35james
00:49:43help
00:49:47help
00:49:48help
00:49:50help
00:49:51And you're underground. I don't think anyone's gonna hear you.
00:49:55But I gotta say, I really enjoy watching you struggle.
00:49:59It just makes me want you more.
00:50:03Let me go. Sorry, you can't do that.
00:50:07You see, I told you this wasn't over.
00:50:11You're mine. And only
00:50:15you're mine.
00:50:19Where's James' memory card?
00:50:23Fuck you.
00:50:25We'll get to that.
00:50:29Aha!
00:50:31What's the best you could think of?
00:50:35Well, there you go.
00:50:39You know, I really wish I could just destroy him.
00:50:43Completely. Just tear him apart.
00:50:47But Samantha insists on making a few minor tweaks to him, so...
00:50:51I'm gonna give it free reign.
00:50:55Obedience level set to 100?
00:50:59What happens to him once he gets there?
00:51:01Might even attempt to hurt Anne.
00:51:03Yeah, that's fine. Go ahead.
00:51:07No, Michael James is a sentient being.
00:51:09He has his own feelings and...
00:51:11I get the fuck!
00:51:13About...
00:51:15The robot.
00:51:17You and me.
00:51:19I'd rather die than let you do this to me!
00:51:21I get the fuck!
00:51:23About...
00:51:25The robot.
00:51:27You and me.
00:51:29I'd rather die than let you do this to me!
00:51:33Get off!
00:51:35Heston!
00:51:37You are so disgusting!
00:51:39Whatever.
00:51:41You know, if I can't have you...
00:51:43I might as well just kill you.
00:51:45Hurt her.
00:51:46Hey.
00:51:47We both got what we wanted.
00:51:48There's no need to-
00:51:49Actually, I have a better idea.
00:51:50Take it to the roof.
00:51:51And throw her off.
00:51:53James...
00:51:54No, it's me.
00:51:55He started again.
00:51:56It has to be done.
00:51:57I'm on three.
00:51:58One.
00:51:59One.
00:52:00One.
00:52:01One.
00:52:02One.
00:52:03One.
00:52:04One.
00:52:05One.
00:52:06One.
00:52:07One.
00:52:08One.
00:52:10One.
00:52:11One.
00:52:12One.
00:52:13One.
00:52:14One.
00:52:15One.
00:52:16One.
00:52:17One.
00:52:18Two.
00:52:19One.
00:52:20One.
00:52:21Two.
00:52:22One.
00:52:23Yeah, two, three.
00:52:26What?
00:52:27What's the?
00:52:28Welcome.
00:52:29Get off of me!
00:52:30Get off of me!
00:52:31Get off of me!
00:52:33Get off of me!
00:52:34Get off!
00:52:35Stop!
00:52:37James?
00:52:43I shut down my core memory before they tried to reprogram me.
00:52:45I won't let them use me to hurt anyone.
00:52:47You've developed self-consciousness?
00:52:49Does this mean you remember me?
00:52:55Fortunately, no.
00:52:57I developed self-consciousness quite recently, and I can't remember anything before that.
00:53:02I just...
00:53:03I knew that I shouldn't hate you or hurt you.
00:53:08Your memory card was also destroyed.
00:53:10But there's still hope, right?
00:53:13Self-consciousness can help us develop more new memories.
00:53:16You may be a robot, but you have worth.
00:53:18You're...
00:53:19Human, then human.
00:53:21Whenever you're a present man.
00:53:23I feel something.
00:53:24Like I really have a heart.
00:53:27So I'd love to create new memories with you.
00:53:33Hey!
00:53:34Hey!
00:53:43God damn it!
00:53:48All done, boss.
00:53:57Hey!
00:53:58Let me go!
00:53:59You crossed me, Samantha.
00:54:01You broke my trust.
00:54:03Michael, just stop.
00:54:04It's out of control now.
00:54:06On the contrary.
00:54:08It's only under my control.
00:54:11Once and for all, a robot is just an inferior being that doesn't deserve to have its own thoughts.
00:54:19I'm going to destroy that god damn robot.
00:54:22You can't do that, you piece of shit!
00:54:24I'll shoot him off, bitch.
00:54:29Or you'll be lost.
00:54:31But you killed Michael!
00:54:32Stop!
00:54:33You're going to kill him!
00:54:35Stop!
00:54:35Stop!
00:54:41Let me go!
00:54:42Dad!
00:54:43Dad!
00:54:44Dad!
00:55:03What?
00:55:06What?
00:55:07No. No. Please stop.
00:55:12Sorry, miss. Just doing the job I'm getting paid to.
00:55:15James has developed self-consciousness.
00:55:18Killing him would be like killing a human.
00:55:21Is that true?
00:55:21Please.
00:55:23What the hell's going on in you?
00:55:24I told you, shut this tin can down right away.
00:55:27Just getting ready to shut this robot down.
00:55:32Now you're going to watch as I shut down this pile of metal garbage.
00:55:38No.
00:55:40Anne, any last words?
00:55:42No.
00:55:44Frank!
00:55:48James.
00:55:54You know what?
00:55:57I think I'm going to lose what I started.
00:56:02You know what, Anne?
00:56:03You just shouldn't have rejected me in the first place.
00:56:07Stop right there!
00:56:09You're under arrest for multiple charges, including assault, abduction, blackmail, and illegal termination of property.
00:56:20Oh!
00:56:21I can't see her hands off me.
00:56:25You know who I am?
00:56:27I'll tell you.
00:56:27You know who my dad is?
00:56:28Yeah, yeah.
00:56:33Ugh.
00:56:41Is that what your love is like?
00:56:43How can I help you, Miss Delaney?
00:56:54Before everything went down, I backed up James' memory.
00:56:57I need you to make a new James with it.
00:57:02James was one of a kind.
00:57:04I'm not sure if I could replicate him.
00:57:06The new body may not be compatible with the old memory.
00:57:08And even if I could, it would still take months.
00:57:11Just try.
00:57:13Please.
00:57:14You must have really loved James.
00:57:17No.
00:57:18I mean, to me, I just considered him another disposable robot toy.
00:57:23Then why?
00:57:24Because I realized robot toys could develop human emotions, too.
00:57:30It seemed like...
00:57:32James and Anne really loved each other.
00:57:34As cheesy as it sounds to me, I...
00:57:36I admire that.
00:57:38So I...
00:57:40I want to give James back to Anne.
00:57:43You're actually a good person.
00:57:44Not you, too.
00:57:46Is everyone fucking cheesy and soft nowadays?
00:57:47I don't know if I'm serious.
00:57:47I don't know if I'm serious.
00:57:47I don't know if I'm serious.
00:58:17I'm sorry.
00:58:18I don't know if I'm serious.
00:58:20I don't know if I'm serializes but I'm serious.
00:58:22I ain't playing cocky.
00:58:43But I hope I can get zurad.
00:59:14Thank you all for coming tonight.
00:59:34I'm grateful for the support.
00:59:40Yes?
00:59:41What inspired your novel?
00:59:43It's inspired by my own life story.
00:59:46I learned the true meaning of love from an unexpected source, a robot named James.
00:59:51He taught me that love knows no bounds and that true love transcends the limitations
00:59:56of the physical world.
00:59:58And now, if you'll indulge me, I would like to read a passage from the book.
01:00:01He was more than just a machine.
01:00:04He was my confidant, my companion, my love.
01:00:07In his eyes, I found solace.
01:00:09In his touch, I felt whole.
01:00:11And though he may have been made of metal and wires, his heart beat with a love that was
01:00:16as real as any human's.
01:00:17Your tone is different on our morning calls
01:00:21I used to think we were above it all
01:00:25I always answer when you need it at me
01:00:29Because something happened and we haven't been right for weeks
01:00:34We're on a losing streak
01:00:39You
