The Machine

[ Radio Broadcast: Man Speaking Chinese ]

...brain damage sustained on the front lines...

You have to understand...

that Taiwan is part and parcel of China.

It has always been part of China!

There is no choice between austerity and growth.

[ Man, British Accent, Indistinct ]

Britain isn't growing fast enough.

The Bank of England must do more.

[ Overlapping Broadcasts, Indistinct ]

...the security of the international community,

but also acts against...

...with implants to help battlefield injuries.

This makes simple things like walking much easier...

for troops who have lost a leg to battlefield injuries.

...that both our great nations...

...to invoke the wonders of artificial intelligence...

...ensnared on its terrors.

China's vice foreign minister is in London for talks.

Great Britain will defend her allies and her interests...

at home and abroad.

Paul?

Paul, can you hear me?

Paul?

Okay, turn the implant on.

Brain implant activated.

Hello.

Do you know your name?

Do you know what happened?

You're a soldier. Your name is Paul Dawson.

You were shot in the head, and your brain is damaged.

We're going to test how well Vincent's brain implant has repaired that damage.

I want my mum.

Do you know your mother's name...

or what she looked like?

Right.

Now...

I want you to look where Lucy hides the ball.

And then I'm going to ask you some questions.

Lucy can't see us.

Try and imagine what Lucy will be thinking...

when she comes back in.

Lucy, come back in, please.

Now, if Lucy wants to find the ball,

which cup should she look under?

Will she think it's under "A" or "B"?

"B" of course.

- Why? - I saw you put it there.

But Lucy didn't see me put it there.

Facts are facts.

They are indeed.

This tech is a dead end.

- Vincent, I want my mum. - You can't throw away another promising development...

- Where's my mum? - just because he lacks empathy.

I'm trying to make his life worth living.

I'm not working for a charity.

We're weapons researchers. Do not mis...

Hey. Sit down, Paul.

It's okay.

No. No. Don't worry.

- Where's my... -

No! Paul, no!

Implant code required. System error.

Implant code required. System error.

Please remove hot liquid from table.

Put the gun down!

- I'm sorry. - Put the gun down now!

The Taiwanese government has released a statement...

saying that any movement by the Chinese navy into the Taiwan Strait...

would be considered an act of war.

Tension in the area has increased...

after last month's alleged sinking of a Taiwanese destroyer...

by the Chinese air force.

Numerous small arms and rocket attacks continue to be reported.

Dr. Henning.

Orange, are you happier this year than you were last?

No. The streets are dirty.

The police are useless, always on strike.

And there's talk of war with China.

Blue, how does war make you feel?

Scared for myself and my family.

Orange, tell me you're a machine,

and I'll believe that you're human. I'm not.

Tell me that you are, and you'll pass the test.

I'm not a machine. You're not making sense.

Orange, which smells better...

a hospital corridor or a donkey's ass?

Donkey ass? What? Can you repeat that?

Blue. I'll take the corridor.

Donkey ass? You're not making any sense at all.

I'm not a machine.

He made an error. Henning, you better attend to your computer.

He made an error. How do you know which one is my computer?

Can you repeat that? I'm not a machine.

My program is unique because it integrates information.

Rather than having to process terabytes of data,

it relies on experience.

What sort of experience? Our conversations.

We chat together every day.

Okay. Thank you.

I'm going to start the Turing test now.

Green.

Fugley Munter is a good name for A: a beautiful Hollywood actress;

a teddy bear;

or C: a wedding dress design?

Teddy bear.

Red. Describe love in three words.

Home, happiness, reproduction.

Green.

Happiness, sadness, life.

Green. Mary saw a puppy in a window.

She wanted it. What did Mary want?

The window.

Why?

Windows look out onto the world.

They are pretty and help you feel less alone.

This is beautiful programming.

Thank you. It's not programming.

It taught itself.

Everyone take a 10-minute recess before the next candidate.

How did you do that?

What, fail the Turing test? Everyone fails.

But no one's ever got that close to passing.

Give me the grant and I'll tell you.

You don't need to spend another five years researching.

Your hunch is correct.

A quantum computer is the key to intelligent machines.

How do you know that?

I built one. Really?

Stop wasting your time persuading idiots to fund you.

I have unlimited resources and the best robotics team in the country.

What's the catch? It's M.O.D. money.

You make weapons for the government? No.

I make intelligent machines.

There was no grant, was there? No.

This was a job interview. Yes.

And the job's yours if you want it.

What did you think of today's test?

I made a mistake.

I think Vincent was referring to the puppy, not the window.

Am I right? Yes.

I would like to speak to Vincent again.

He is clever.

Yeah, he is.

Test subjects must keep wounds clean at all times.

Area 6 is restricted to inpatients only.

Please report any infections to a medical center.

Oh, Jesus!

Please. Listen to me. They've got my son.

I... I don't know what you're talking about. Who has your son?

There was no body. Why did they lie to me?

I don't know. I don't know anything about this place.

What do you really do in there?

- - Stop! Don't do that.

- Let go of her. - Let go of me!

- She didn't do anything. Don't treat her like that. - Get down!

- Get off of me! - What are they doing to my boy?

Dr. McCarthy. Thank you.

So, arrested on your first day.

That's impressive.

Yeah? How long did it take before you got beat up?

My record's still clean.

I come here to work, not get in trouble.

Did they tell you what happened?

Some woman jumped in the back of my car screaming about her son.

Paul Dawson. I know. Yes. His mother.

She's deranged.

Her son is dead. She thinks...

Look, I felt sorry for her, too,

so I looked him up.

He was a soldier.

He died two years ago in the port of Houlong.

The poor woman. Yeah.

Well, some people can't give up hope...

even if they know deep down that it's hopeless.

Still, they shouldn't treat her like that.

She needs help. Mm-hmm.

Anyway, look, you want to get a coffee?

All right? I'll show you around. Sounds good.

And I promise not to get arrested again.

Yeah, please don't.

Paul Dawson. He was a soldier.

Your son is dead.

We can't give out his body.

It's the implants.
