Previously on neXt...

She claims there's a rogue AI loose in our servers.

It actually explains a lot:

the anomalies in the server array,

My boss being called off,

my being suddenly fired, the blackouts.

Your hand is shaking. - What are you talking about?

You know, these symptoms can start as early as 20.

That's not far from where Ty and Ethan are.

All I want to do is get in the car and drive.

I've been asked to collect your access badge.

I'm supposed to have until the end of the day.

My orders are to have you leave now.

If we take out this cluster,

we take this thing out once and for all.

All we have to do is put charges right there.

You're talking about a bomb.

Even if I agree,

where would we get that kind of material?

Like, a car bomb or something, I can get that.

When you're picking out a car, remember, nothing fancy,

just something with a lot of ground clearance

and big-ass bumpers, front and back.

Remember my brother-in-law Ray?

That's his house.

- Hannah. - Ray, I swear I didn't know

- he was coming. - You should've listened.

- (gun cocking) - Back off. Now.

You're gonna walk me over to the barn.

What for?

You're gonna build me a truck bomb.

1979.

Jimmy Carter was president.

Pink Floyd released "The Wall."

Sony came out with the Walkman.

And Robert Williams was killed.

Who was Robert Williams?

Robert Williams was a Michigan factory worker

who was climbing a storage rack

when something slammed into the back of his head

and crushed it like a beer can.

The culprit was a one-ton mechanical arm

run by an artificial intelligence,

which kept working for the next 30 minutes

before they found his body.

It didn't take a lunch break. It didn't take a coffee break.

And Robert Williams became the first person

in human history to be killed

by artificial intelligence.

Some people would say that Robert Williams' death

was just a freak accident,

but I say that his death was the first casualty

in the coming AI holocaust.

Kick it in, man! Kick it in!

Back that truck up.

Over here!

- (gunshot) - (man laughs)

Those sounded closer.

Yeah, they were just fireworks, just people screwing around.

Hey, come here. Give me a hand.

So why are you boarding up the windows?

Why? Because it's better to be safe than sorry.

Give me some light.

- All right. - (drill whirs)

- (gunshot) (gasps)

We should've stayed with Mom.

Hey, I don't want to hear it anymore, okay?

I'm doing the best I can.

Okay, you're gonna pack that truck

with those ammonium nitrate canisters.

We're not gonna do anything.

Does it sound like I'm giving you a choice?

I don't think you're real FBI.

Real FBI agents, they arrest people

for possessing stuff like this.

They don't ask them to build truck bombs.

- I'm not asking. - Well, I'm not doing diddly

till I know what's going on.

Don't be an idiot, Ray.

I got nothing to say to you, Rockridge.

I told you, there's a rogue faction

inside the government.

They... they're onto us,

and they're trying to take us out.

We strike first, we cripple them.

What, suddenly you got a problem

attacking the government?

- No more than you ever did. - So what's the problem?

I don't work for Mexicans.

(laughs)

Okay, well, I'm from Honduras, and if you don't help us

assemble this bomb, I'm gonna handcuff you

to a pipe and call the ATF.

You can spend the next few years in prison

for possession of explosive material, so...

your choice.

Ethan, I'm sorry.

I have a lot on my mind.

It's okay.

It'll get better. We're gonna find Mom.

We're all gonna be together again soon, okay?

Someone's outside.

Come here, come here. Go downstairs.

Who are you? what do you want?

Hi, I'm Abby LeBlanc. Are you Ty?

LeBlanc?

I'm Paul LeBlanc's daughter.

Here's something I think

you're really gonna enjoy.

You can back the car up.

You can move the car forward and steer it,

all using the fob right here.

It's a self-parking car.

A beauty. Came in yesterday.

Won't be here tomorrow.

Power everything, ten-speaker sound, full GPS...

Yeah, I'm looking for the opposite,

something with basically... well, basically nothing.

And engine and four wheels.

Not even GPS?

Maybe you can throw in a map.

How about this one with the bathtub?

I can do you better than that.

Come on down here.

I can convert the ticket into four coach seats.

It's a private island. My dad picked out the spot.

It's isolated, and it's safe.

Yeah, it's New Zealand.

Well, it's just until this is over,

until things go back to normal.

We can take any flight that you want,

but the sooner, the better.

Shea didn't send me. She doesn't know I'm here.

Believe me, I just drove through all that out there.

It's not safe, okay?

These blackouts are spreading. It's gonna get worse.

Do it for your son.

Hey! Never have to park again.

All right, friend, I think I got

exactly what you're looking for here.

It's classic.

- (engine revs) - Whoa!

Watch it! Move!

Get out of the way!

Whoa!

- Oh, my God, is he okay? Are you okay?

- Are you okay? I'm fine. I'm fine.

Give me the keys.

I have never seen anything like that before.

Yeah, well, you better get used to it.

What the hell was that, Chuck?

It just... it just took off.

Hey, why you driving so fast?

I can't slow down. We gotta get out of here.

- People are going crazy. - What do you mean?

There were reports about it on the radio on the way in

about... (sighs)

About the blackouts, about food shortages,

police abandoning their stations.

Felt like if you wanted to incite a panic,

that's what you'd put out there.

I think it's neXt.

NeXt is driving all the panic.

You said my wife and your dad were going out to some farm.

What are they doing there?

- What else do you know? - (sighs)

You know more. Just tell me what else you know.

The owner of the farm, he...

he has access to explosives.

Explosives for what?

And they know where it is.

- Where what is? - The AI.

It's at a server farm at an NSA black site.

They think the only way to kill it is to destroy it

with a truck bomb.

Who's driving it in?

Get all these canisters into the truck.

All right, FBI, all right.

Real charmer, huh?

Oh, yeah.

So if we load this thing up completely,

we're gonna rip half that building apart.

That's the idea.

We have to make sure that there's nothing left.

Yeah, but Gina's in there, and we don't know where.

And if we blow up something this size,

we're gonna kill her.

We're gonna kill everybody in there.

No.

Once the truck is in position under the server farm,

we call in a bomb threat, and they evacuate the building.

Is that enough time to get everybody out?
