Humans

If I don't work, we'll have to steal.

We both know that's not why you do it. I'm not going to stop.

Nor will I. What are you doing? Trying to give you a body.

Uploading you into a special Synthetic.

I understand things don't make sense yet, because you have to grow.

I spoke to the Super this morning, said I'd start back Monday.

Sure you're ready? I'll be fine.

I'm looking for an old D-series,

might have been brought in a few months ago.

The code they made makes Synths conscious.

So I'm going to find out how this works,

use it to make him conscious, and find out anything he knows.

You told me I should face justice for killing that man

but I want to be tried as a human would be. If you'll help me.

You hand it over, to have an independent expert assessment.

And if she proves she's conscious, does she get her trial?

Mm-hm. And if she fails? We terminate it.

'Going up.'

Good morning, Dr Morrow. Leave us.

Hello, baby.

I said leave us.

We have to talk.

It's been three years, Athena.

You have to move on.

I miss her, every day. I think about her and...

Do you really?

How can you say that?

There's nothing anyone can do!

That's...

That's not our daughter. That's not Ginny.

I'm sorry but I just...

I just can't do this any more.

Can't do what?

We need to start listening to what the doctors are telling us.

I have the documents, all you have to do is agree.

I'm, er... I'm going to England.

Athena, please!

We'll talk when I get back.

If I ever murder someone, can I have you as my defence lawyer?

Well, I may not be one after this.

They said I can work on Niska's case, but if we don't win,

they deny any involvement.

No pressure then.

How're you feeling about going back?

Well, I never thought I'd be working on the floor,

but it's a job, isn't it?

At least they can't sack me from a back-to-work scheme.

I have to go.

Are you sure you're OK to take the kids?

Yeah, course. Don't have to be there till half nine.

Good luck.

Yeah, I'd say the same to you but you won't need it.

Give 'em hell.

I'm going to be totally honest, you're still not looking that great.

Apricot.

Cot, cot, cot.

Cot. Apri-cot.

Cot. Apricot. Cot.

Are you ready?

I think so.

This chamber will measure your reaction

to different types of stimulus.

None if it will hurt, but one thing I do know...

is you're going to need to try to open up.

What does that mean?

Show them how you feel. That you CAN feel.

Everything depends on that.

Mia?

Mia? Are you all right?

What's wrong? I care about someone.

A human.

He saw what I am...

..and he told me to leave.

But I can't stop thinking about him.

Maybe you should go back and talk to him again?

Maybe he was frightened.

That's understandable.

Mia, we can feel.

We were made to feel.

We can't deny that.

WE NEED TO GET OUT NOW!

He's gone. He's escaped.

I let him go.

You... What?

Do you realise what you've done?

You've put us all in danger!

But I... What?

Nothing.

Come on. We need to get out now.

He'll lead them straight to us.

Mia.

Come on.

I'm not coming.

What are you talking about? Of course you are.

I want to stay here.

You can't. Why would you stay?

She says she has feelings for a human.

A man.

What? She's right.

Who?

The man you work for? At the cafe?

Mia! He... He won't accept you. None of them can.

I have to try.

I want to.

Well...

You can't stay in this house. It's not safe any more.

OK.

All right. Leo?

Listen to Max.

Bye, Maxie. I'll see you soon.

How is it that you can have feelings for a human?

Some of them are worth it.

What exactly are you frightened of?

You know what that is capable of.

Look, I know what you're trying to do -

establish Human Rights by stealth.

And I can see what you're doing, too.

The "horror", the "monster", them and us, it's classic.

All right. A 3% charge is perfectly acceptable.

This is an appliance we're talking about - with zero rights.

At the moment. It's a machine until proven otherwise.

That's my decision.

Now. You have the next 72 hours to run the agreed tests.

You will observe, question, and assess this Synthetic.

Everything is to be recorded and everything admissible

can be referenced by you both in your arguments.

I will then make a judgment.

If consciousness is proven to my satisfaction,

the subject will stand trial for the murder of Andrew Graham.

If not, it will be disposed of

in the same way as any other malfunctioning Synthetic.

Are we clear?

Yes.

Is your..."client" ready?

She's ready.

...Your shift will begin in three minutes.

Will Chris and Derek please report to the main office?

Anyway, shall we...?

Well...?

Nothing. Keep going.

Hi. You're Renie?

I'm Toby.

We're in some of the same classes.

Hello, Toby. How can I be of assistance to you?

Do you want some of mine?

That won't be necessary, thank you.

How long have you been doing all this?

Um...I think it's cool.

I do. I was just...

..you know, wondering.

I'm afraid I don't understand the question.

Goodbye, Toby.

And he crashes and burns with the synthy!

Hey! Hello! Look who it is! How you doing?

Fine. Raring to go. How's everything with your, er...?

Dad. Yes, much better, thank you.

It was touch-and-go for a while, but all OK now.

That's really great. Pub tonight?

Definitely.

Right, gather around, everyone.

Good to have you back, DI Voss. Good to be back.

We're looking at an increase of so-called unusual malfunctions.

15 reported last month and another one more this morning.

Bike courier synth. Cycled off course

and started going the wrong way down a main road.

This is the way it seems to go -

primary user reports strange behaviour, synth goes AWOL,

by the time we arrive,

the synth's gone and the owner changes their story.

We're thinking insurance scam.

Should I get onto this courier one?

No, don't worry, I'm on that. What else?

We're seeing supply-chain thefts of specific parts.

Interestingly, never full synths.

Karen, um...have a look at the file and get up to speed.

'Course. Thanks, everyone.

You OK? I'm fine. Stop worrying.

Obviously, it's a bit more than an insurance scam.

What do you think about getting out and feeling a few collars?

The courier? No. Remember that head-cracker

I was banging on about, pricey synths? Yeah.

Let's pay him a visit.

What are you doing here?

I need to talk to you.

Please.

Well...?

I need to know I can trust you.

I'm serious.

Being this...

Being me...

..is dangerous.

Being what?

I am a synthetic...but I'm awake.

Conscious.

What do you mean, conscious?

I'm just like you...in some ways.

Different in others.

But I can think...sense, feel.

Care.

I can like things.
