Almost Human

May I have your attention?

The shelter will be closing its doors in ten minutes.

The shelter will be

Closing its doors in ten minutes.

If you are not assigned a pod,

You will need to exit the building premises.

Have a good night.

Welcome. Please place index finger

Welcome. Please place index finger on the blue pad.

Hey, gorgeous.

If they're running low on pods,

What do you say we share one, huh?

Yeah. No, thanks.

Are you sure you don't want to change your mind?

Automated voice: Please take your pill.

Don't you know it's rude not to answer

A question when you're asked? Huh?

Where you think you're gonna sleep tonight, huh?

I asked you a question.

Man: Hey!

She gave you an answer!

Are you deaf?

Why don't you leave her alone?

Thanks.

That's the last thing I needed.

He's right about the pods, though.

They just ran out.

Great.

Hey, listen...

There's a shelter over on abbot.

It's smaller; not as nice.

But sometimes, they have beds open.

I'm gonna head there after I get my pill,

So... If you want to go together...

Are you sure they have beds?

Never been turned away before.

And on good days,

They serve real food, too.

You know, the kind you eat?

That'd be good for a change.

Why not? Yeah!

What's your name?

Abby. Abby.

Automated voice: Welcome. Please place...

Looks like you're up, abby.

...Index finger on the blue pad.

Welcome. Please place index...

So where are you from, anyway?

I was born in tampa,

But then my mom dragged me to new pittsburgh.

Something tells me

You're not here because you like new pittsburgh.

Actually, it was her boyfriend I didn't like.

Hated, to be more accurate.

How long you been out here?

Six weeks.

Does it get easier?

Once you get used to scrappin' it.

Sorry. I didn't mean to stare.

That's okay.

When you're sick, you do what you have to do to get well.

You never told me your name.

It's glen.

The shelter's this way.

Ouch! Oh, sorry.

My ring must've caught you.

It's fine.

How much further is it?

Just a little bit up ahead.

By the way, how tall are you?

Whoa...

Five-six, I bet.

Whoa, I don't think...

Sit down.

It's okay. It's okay. : Please...

The year is 2048.

Evolving technologies can no longer be regulated.

Dangerous advancements forever alter the criminal landscape.

Police are not prepared.

Law enforcement combats this corruption

With a new line of defense.

But not all are created equal.

The idea behind the drns was to be as human as possible.

They were based on a program called synthetic soul.

That's one of the crazy ones.

I'll lead you in? Let's go.

Now all cops--

Human and manmade together--

Take on the battle to watch over us all.

Captain maldonado...

As part of the department's yearly review

Of our android officers,

We've spoken to your detectives about their mxs,

But I'd like to ask you about your drn...

Drn-0167.

Dorian has been exceptional.

Man: I see that the drn was scheduled

For reassignment to the space station,

But you were adamant about recommissioning it

For police service. Why is that?

Maldonado: It seemed appropriate.

And how has drn-0167 been in the field?

He's a good shot.

He's good in interrogation.

Uh... Knows how to handle himself.

You seem nervous.

Me? No. Not at all.

Should I be? We're reviewing the drn,

Not you, dr. Lom. Yes, of course.

I have no personal stake in this.

No feelings one way or the other.

Sorry, what... What are you writing there?

Woman 2: You chose drn-0167 specifically--

Is there a reason?

I thought that dorian and detective kennex

Needed each other.

And that's as much as I can say.

Man: As you are aware,

The drn line was given the luger test

To determine its abilities

To cope with the emotional realities

Of police work. Many of them failed.

Do you believe that drn-0167 needs a luger test?

Another luger test? No. No. No, no, no, no.

Dorian is saner than most humans.

I'd trust him with my child.

I don't have a child.

I'm currently single, but, uh,

Always on the lookout for the proverbial one.

Sorry-- I'm not saying you're the one... Maybe you are, I...

Does that answer your question?

There's nothing else you can think of?

He flipped a van once. Pretty cool.

Didn't know he could do that. Rudy: But if I did

Have a child, I would want dorian to raise it

Instead of me.

Woman: You mean...

Drn-0167.

Call me dorian.

Okay. Dorian.

Can you tell us about your experience

Being back on the force?

When I found out my line was to be decommissioned,

I didn't know if I'd ever be reactivated,

And if I was,

If I'd ever be a cop again.

The fact that I get to suit up every day,

Do this job and help people...

Is the best thing that's ever happened to me.

Thank you.

We'll let you know if we require any further information

Before filing our report.

Oh. Good. You're done.

That took a long time.

Did it?

Like, longer than usual?

Way longer.

Come on, we got a case.

So, tell me,

What did they ask about me in the interview?

Tell me what you told them.

Wish I could, but, you know, peer reviews are confidential.

Department policy.

Seriously? You're not gonna tell me anything?

I told them the truth.

Okay. Yeah.

That's good.

All right, thank you, my friend.

I told them you have no concept

Of personal space

Or boundary; that you scanned my balls,

That you abducted a drn from a hospital

And caused millions of dollars worth of damage.

I befriended that drn...

Befriended? You abducted him. I...

And that you like to expose yourself

While riding shotgun in the cruiser.

You asked to see it.

I didn't ask.

You showed it to me.

I apologize for scanning your balls.

You did ask to see...

I'm just kidding. I'm messing with you.

I didn't tell 'em any of that.

Should've.

John: What do we got?

The body was found less than an hour ago.

Drone picked it up on a routine sweep of the wall.

Victim been I.D.'d? Not yet.

No blood, no signs of a struggle.

She was killed in another location,

And the body was dumped here.

That's strange.

What's straw doing so far outside an ag zone?

She's been sewn up.
