Humans

My name is Anita Hawkins.

This reading shows that she's an ordinary synth.

Now we know for certain humans will never accept

conscious synthetics as their equals.

We let her go, she reports us,

Qualia triple their security, we're done.

I need some time.

Hello.

Ginny has died.

But you're conscious now, it means you want things.

You just have to figure out what.

It's the code that makes synths conscious.

Shit, Mat.

- I need to find Leo. - We're partners.

If we did this, that changes.

I can't find him,

but he can find me.

Being a parent is one of life's greatest joys,

sharing your love with a child,

watching them grow.

But not every child grows up.

We can't change that.

But we can help.

Meet Jasper,

a conscious synthetic who learns,

feels and loves.

With an updated body each year,

your family can grow together.

Qualia,

building your brighter future.

You're not supposed to be in here.

No kidding.

You didn't tell me when you hired me

that you wanted me to help you create conscious children.

That's the plan, right?

What you're doing and what I'm doing,

they're not unconnected.

No,

they're not unconnected.

You didn't think that I would have ethical concerns?

Have you ever been on the paediatric wards, Athena?

Or seen a family take care of a kid with leukaemia...

and then ask them how it felt

to give up every single hope and dream

so they could work 24 hours around the clock

to make their child's passage into death

a tiny bit more bearable?

Cos I have,

and I've come up with a solution.

Synth children aren't the solution.

Conscious synth children,

who'll have none of our weaknesses

and need none of our resources.

You cannot fix humanity's problems with technology.

We can fix every problem with technology.

How much are you charging for this service?

We won't charge a cent to those really in need.

What about those not most in need?

Well, eventually, when

the necessary due diligence has been done,

we will make them available on a limited basis.

How do you think people are really going to react to this?

Actually, I have a pretty good idea.

One of our scientists had similar concerns,

and he released the first batch.

About a dozen got away and we tracked them.

You mean you have these things walking around out there?

Most of them are in California doing fine.

Most?

- We lost signal on a few. - Oh, God.

I need you, Doctor Morrow.

I can't make these synths conscious without you.

- Go to hell. - Don't walk out on Ginny.

- I'm not. - I own her!

She's stored on my server, she lives in my house.

I have people who can replicate her a thousand times over.

Thanks to you, we're closer to being able to bond her with the synths.

And the first wave will have her template inside of them.

I mean, we'll probably do 100 at first,

a small batch, you know? For loving families.

It'll be like she has parents again...

and siblings,

and a life...

just not with you.

Or you can work with me

and we can change the world for the better. I mean,

consciousness transference was a stroke of genius.

I was so right in hiring you.

Don't make me start to regret that.

Hello, Laura.

I thought you were Niska.

I'm afraid I have no recall of your decision to relocate.

I went to your former home and was redirected here.

You keep the spare key in a similar place.

I thought it better not to wake the children.

Who is Niska?

Mia, are you OK?

My name is Anita.

Would you like some coffee, Laura?

What happened to you?

Mia, are you in there?

I'm sorry, Laura,

I don't understand the question.

Cheers.

You're lost.

I'm actually looking for a top-secret hideout.

- Do you know any? - Might do.

So, Robin Hood, is that your forest lair?

We're using that as our base,

but there's a lookout a little further along.

- We're going to go there now. - Looking out to what?

You'll see.

On the phone you said you had news.

- Yeah. - What was it?

You'll see.

PHONE RINGS

Laura!

Has anyone seen her?

I can't give you details of an ongoing investigation.

Neha, please.

She's all alone.

I'm all she has.

Well, there's a briefing at ten o'clock,

and if I find out anything I can share,

- I'll let you know. - What guarantees have I got

that she'll be given access to a lawyer when they bring her in?

None whatsoever.

They don't plan to bring her in operational.

Goodbye, Laura.

Anita, can you help me do my hair later?

I want it straight.

- Of course, Sophie. - Your hair's fine as it is.

But Mum!

Hey, Mum, have you seen my football boots?

I need them later for...

Hello, Toby.

Your football boots are here.

I've downloaded your timetable.

Your game kicks off at 3.30.

She's Anita.

- Yep. - Well, where's she been?

- What happened to her? - We don't know.

Is it something to do with Niska?

That's what I'm trying to find out,

but I can't get any answers till we get Mia back.

Where's Mattie?

- No idea. - Coffee, Joe?

Anita, could you just sit down somewhere quietly

while we try and figure out how to fix you?

My system does not detect any faults at present.

Yeah, well, who runs this place?

- Can we go to the park later, Anita? No!

- Why not? - Because we say so, Sophie, OK?

- We'll be late. - It's only five minutes.

- It's not just five minutes, though, is it? - Can you stop shouting...

Here you go.

Will you look where you're going, dolly!

DOOR OPENS

Thank you, Father.

Have a seat.

Close the door.

What's on your mind?

I've recently gained self-awareness...

and I'm having difficulty finding purpose or meaning.

Right.

Well, working out what we're here for,

that's the big one.

- What's in your heart? - I don't have a heart.

So you treated someone unkindly?

Oh, dear. Have I?

Let's start again.

What gives you happiness?

Helping people.

The memory of that brings...

contentment.

Though I am told I should want something more for myself.

There is great grace in a life of service.

Look at me.

I'm trying but you're behind a screen.

What made you stop

- helping people? - Principally their deaths.

I see.

Well, they're in a better place.

Are they?

I will join them at once. Do you have the location?

You'll get there in the end, my son.

But you can find purpose in service again.

Isn't that what the people you cared for would want you to do?

Yes.

Yes, it undoubtedly is.

Hello.

I'm Amanda.

PHONE RINGS

Pete, please, I know you want to talk but...

I've got a seraph.

- What? - I've got a seraph.

It's in the flat with me.

I need you, Karen.

I'm asking you for help.

What is it?
