00:00:12,376 --> 00:00:17,554
He looked for ways to make it better

00:01:04,272 --> 00:01:07,059
- What happened?
- That tin man hurt me.

10
00:01:07,059 --> 00:01:11,189
He tried to kill you , like he did Doc Link.
Dumb, brute savagery.

11
00:01:11,189 --> 00:01:13,277
- Which way did he go?
- There!

12
00:01:13,277 --> 00:01:16,775
Come on . You stay with the girl.

13
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:26,032

Come on around, boys.
There ain 't gonna be no trouble.

16

Ugly brute, ain 't it?
Thing weighs more than 300 pounds.

17
00:02:15,627 --> 00:02:20,670
How are we gonna get it back to town ?
lt's too heavy to carry.

The Outer Limits.

25
00:03:30,249 --> 00:03:33,949
Doc built this mechanical man
because he's a crack-pot scientist.

26
00:03:33,949 --> 00:03:38,380
- lt got out of control and killed him.
- Frankenstein , killed by his own monster.

- Sheriff, this is the space age.
- Mister, that thing in there ain 't no joke.

<i>(woman) l'm Nina Link.</i>

Miss Link, would you be the Doc's niece
from over at Union Town ?

33
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,402
Yes. l'd like to speak to Adam.

34
00:04:06,402 --> 00:04:08,776
Your uncle was a fine man .

35
00:04:08,776 --> 00:04:12,992
<i>- l'm Judson Ellis, St Louis Herald.
- How do you do? Sheriff...</i>

36
00:04:12,992 --> 00:04:18,545
- lf there is anything we can do...
- l'd like to speak to Adam Link alone.

37
00:04:18,545 --> 00:04:21,245
Adam? You don 't mean that gadget?

38
00:04:21,245 --> 00:04:26,293
But he's nothing of the sort.
He's my... my legacy.

39
00:04:26,293 --> 00:04:28,587
You don 't understand the circumstances.

40
00:04:28,587 --> 00:04:32,555
- Your uncle was killed by that thing.
- l don 't believe that.

41
00:04:32,555 --> 00:04:36,765
Adam is kind and gentle.
He was devoted to Uncle Charles.

42
00:04:36,765 --> 00:04:41,358
- You talk like it was human .
- Well, he is almost.

43
00:04:41,358 --> 00:04:45,353
- Let me talk to him.
- l'm sorry. l can 't do that.

44
00:04:45,353 --> 00:04:49,950
We don 't know what makes that machine work
or when it might go off.

45
00:04:49,950 --> 00:04:53,031
When are you going to evacuate the town ?

46
00:04:53,031 --> 00:04:55,619
We got smart-aleck reporters right here.

47
00:04:55,619 --> 00:05:00,043
Dreaming up a hoax like this
is something l can 't compete with.

48
00:05:00,043 --> 00:05:02,626
lf you want pictures, get 'em now.

49
00:05:02,626 --> 00:05:06,836
When l get an acetylene torch,
there'll be nothing left but scrap metal.

50
00:05:06,836 --> 00:05:09,886
You can 't do that!
Adam was Uncle Charles' property.

51
00:05:09,886 --> 00:05:14,177
And l'm his only relative.
So now he's my property.

52
00:05:14,177 --> 00:05:19,267
lf you lay a hand on him,
l'll have to sue you for wilful destruction .

53
00:05:19,267 --> 00:05:22,683
We'll see what the district attorney has to say.

54
00:05:22,683 --> 00:05:24,478
Dilly!

55
00:05:27,364 --> 00:05:30,614
Very good. You put that clown on the spot.

56
00:05:30,614 --> 00:05:32,818

- Ellis. Judson Ellis.

58
00:05:36,073 --> 00:05:41,876
Your assistance is appreciated, Mr Ellis.

59
00:05:43,713 --> 00:05:46,584
lt moves, it talks. lt's human .

60
00:05:47,676 --> 00:05:51,376
- You still think it's a trick?
- Certainly.

61
00:05:51,376 --> 00:05:55,641
But it's the best l've run into.
l haven 't spotted the gimmick yet.

62
00:05:55,641 --> 00:05:59,895
Give me an exclusive interview.
But l've got to find a photographer first.

63
00:05:59,895 --> 00:06:04,813
- Don 't let the sheriff dismantle it.
- He's not going to touch Adam.

64
00:06:04,813 --> 00:06:07,813
<i>( Adam) He will destroy me, Nina.</i>

65
00:06:07,813 --> 00:06:14,695
All he needs is a state order
declaring me an unlawful weapon .

66
00:06:16,537 --> 00:06:19,324
That's right. How did you know?

67
00:06:19,324 --> 00:06:24,534
l read every book in Dr Link's library.

68
00:06:24,534 --> 00:06:27,422
There was one volume on law.

69
00:06:28,633 --> 00:06:33,627
Wait a minute.
That's what we need: counsel for the defence.

70
00:06:33,627 --> 00:06:37,974
The story of the year: The state versus
Adam Link, first all-functional robot.

71
00:06:37,974 --> 00:06:42,809
Thinks, talks, acts... accused of murder.

72
00:06:45,024 --> 00:06:48,606
Thurman Cutler!
ls he still alive? ls he still around?

73
00:06:48,606 --> 00:06:52,436
- l don 't know.
- Find out. Tell him the whole story.

74
00:06:52,436 --> 00:06:55,360
Don 't take no for an answer. Now move!

75
00:06:55,360 --> 00:07:00,653
<i>The Herald will pay the legal fee,

l'd like to talk to you .
Please. lt's very important.

82
00:07:36,741 --> 00:07:37,986
Talk?

83
00:07:45,416 --> 00:07:48,204
- Who are you?
-Nina Link.

84
00:07:49,295 --> 00:07:52,996
- Are you related to old Doc Link?
- His niece.

85
00:07:54,259 --> 00:07:56,666
Pull up a rock.

86
00:07:56,666 --> 00:07:57,709
Hmm.

87
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:04,765
Your uncle is a dreamer.
One of the worst cribbage players l ever met.

88
00:08:04,765 --> 00:08:07,563
How is he?

89
00:08:07,563 --> 00:08:11,104
Didn 't you know?
He was killed yesterday.

90
00:08:16,614 --> 00:08:20,861
- Blow himself up in that crazy old lab of his?
-No.

91
00:08:20,861 --> 00:08:24,113
They say Adam did it, but it isn 't true.

92
00:08:24,113 --> 00:08:29,122
l don 't care what Sheriff Barclay says.
He couldn 't have done it.

93
00:08:29,122 --> 00:08:33,664
Young lady, if you've come
all the way out here to ask for help,

94
00:08:33,664 --> 00:08:36,964
you've had a long walk for nothing.

95
00:08:36,964 --> 00:08:40,675
l'm retired from the human race.
Go away.

96
00:08:47,644 --> 00:08:53,184
- What are you waiting for? l said no.
- You don 't have to shout at me.

97
00:08:53,184 --> 00:08:59,319
Your uncle was a fine man . l'm not lifting a finger
for any skunk who killed him.

98
00:08:59,319 --> 00:09:01,405
Adam's a robot.

99
00:09:03,493 --> 00:09:07,705
But it's true.
Uncle Charles built him himself.

100
00:09:07,705 --> 00:09:13,585
But he's almost human .
He thinks... and he talks. He remembers.

101
00:09:13,585 --> 00:09:16,037
Now, wait a minute.

102
00:09:16,037 --> 00:09:20,965
Are you telling me that Sheriff Barclay
arrested a mechanical man ?

103
00:09:20,965 --> 00:09:24,926
Yes. And a district attorney
wants to destroy him.

104
00:09:27,642 --> 00:09:29,848
<i>( he laughs)</i>

105
00:09:35,942 --> 00:09:39,940
That's the first good laugh l've had in 35 years.

106
00:09:39,940 --> 00:09:43,736
l'm sorry.
l meant no disrespect to the Doc.

107
00:09:43,736 --> 00:09:48,612
When you get to be my age,
death isn 't all that important somehow.

108
00:09:50,248 --> 00:09:54,744
Barclay never did have brains enough
to pour water out of a boat.

109
00:09:54,744 --> 00:09:59,753
And the DA has the taint of ambition ,
which makes him no better.

110
00:10:02,426 --> 00:10:04,964
A mechanical man .

111
00:10:04,964 --> 00:10:07,587
A robot.

112
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,726
<i>( Ellis) ''A Daniel come to judgment.''</i>

113

''Yea, a Daniel.''

114
00:10:24,064 --> 00:10:26,736
Any statement for the press, counsellor?

115
00:10:26,736 --> 00:10:29,025
Little Judd Ellis, isn 't it?

116
00:10:29,025 --> 00:10:33,111
The young man of great promise,
and all of it broken .

117
00:10:33,111 --> 00:10:35,324
Still at it, Cutler?

118
00:10:35,324 --> 00:10:38,958
Well, for once we're gonna be
on the same team.

119
00:10:38,958 --> 00:10:44,212
- And, brother, you'll need me.
- lt seems l didn 't retire a minute too soon .

120
00:10:44,212 --> 00:10:48,755
<i>- With the Herald behind me, l'd be ruined.
- Who do you think sent Nina Link?</i>

121
00:10:48,755 --> 00:10:50,965
You came like a shot.

122
00:10:50,965 --> 00:10:56,260
For one last crack at the Philistines.
Wild horses couldn 't have stopped you .

123
00:10:56,260 --> 00:11:00,061
l know you , Mr Cutler.
You're as automatic as that robot.

124
00:11:00,061 --> 00:11:03,109
Are you referring to Mr Adam Link?

125
00:11:03,109 --> 00:11:06,439
- The living egg beater.
- Hmm. ''Living''?

126
00:11:06,439 --> 00:11:11,199
Yeah, l'd guess you'd call him that.
He thinks and remembers, doesn 't he?

127
00:11:11,199 --> 00:11:14,827
And he knows more about the law
than Sheriff Barclay.

128
00:11:14,827 --> 00:11:17,328
He talks, so he can 't be animal.

129
00:11:17,328 --> 00:11:20,459
A man -like creature, wouldn 't you say?

130
00:11:20,459 --> 00:11:22,413
Practically human .

131
00:11:22,413 --> 00:11:26,247
And therefore entitled to his civil rights
as guaranteed under the Constitution .

132
00:11:26,247 --> 00:11:28,460
What's he been charged with?

133
00:11:28,460 --> 00:11:33,007
l don 't think Sheriff Barclay
has bothered charging him yet.

134
00:11:33,007 --> 00:11:37,138
Why, that's illegal detention .
l'm shocked.

135
00:11:37,138 --> 00:11:40,105
Shocked at Sheriff Barclay's
disregard for the law.

136
00:11:40,105 --> 00:11:45,272
- They're saying this creature murdered Dr Link.
- That is yet to be proven .

137
00:11:45,272 --> 00:11:47,858
- May l quote you , counsellor?
-Naturally.

138
00:11:47,858 --> 00:11:51,155
Excuse me, l have to consult with my client.

139
00:11:56,080 --> 00:12:01,287
<i>( Adam) No robot can equal
the human body for efficiency.</i>

140
00:12:01,287 --> 00:12:06,330
lt required a billion years
for nature to develop it.

141
00:12:06,330 --> 00:12:09,799
Dr Link had only 20.

142
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:14,387
<i>- You mean you have certain limitations?
- ( Adam) Yes, Mr Cutler.</i>

143
00:12:14,387 --> 00:12:21,312
For instance, l cannot see colours.
Nor do l have the sense of smell or taste.

144
00:12:21,312 --> 00:12:23,347
What about feelings?

145
00:12:23,347 --> 00:12:27,942
<i>( Adam) Feeling is nature's method
of protecting a fragile body.</i>

146
00:12:27,942 --> 00:12:31,320
My body is not fragile.

147
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:37,451
That's not what l meant.
How do you feel about being in here?

148
00:12:37,451 --> 00:12:42,574
Would you like being in a cage, Mr Cutler?

149
00:12:42,574 --> 00:12:47,336
- l have thought of leaving.
- And how do you propose to get out?

150
00:13:05,356 --> 00:13:08,975
l see now why people think
you killed Doc Link.

151
00:13:10,445 --> 00:13:12,983
You gave yourself up. Why?

152
00:13:12,983 --> 00:13:18,986
For the same reason
l did not resist being brought here.

153
00:13:18,986 --> 00:13:22,240
l don 't want to hurt anyone.

154
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:27,415
- What happened with Doc?
- lt was an accident.

155
00:13:27,415 --> 00:13:31,163
- Did you kill him?
-No.

156
00:13:31,163 --> 00:13:33,706
He was my creator.

157
00:13:33,706 --> 00:13:37,508
My emotions are the same as his.

158
00:13:37,508 --> 00:13:43,474
Why should l kill him?
When he died, l felt sorrow.

159
00:13:45,146 --> 00:13:47,222
Mr Cutler! Mr Cut...

160
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:54,027
Mr Cutler... l heard you were back in town
for the first time in 1 2 years.

161
00:13:54,027 --> 00:13:57,108
Now, what's this nonsense
with Doc Link's robot?

162
00:13:57,108 --> 00:14:00,610
<i>( Cutler) Hello, Tom.
You've come a way in the world.</i>

163
00:14:00,610 --> 00:14:04,659
A matter of knowing and using the law,
as you used to say.

164
00:14:04,659 --> 00:14:06,866
That's why l'm here.

165
00:14:06,866 --> 00:14:11,746
You're withholding property that belongs
to my client, Miss Nina Link here.

166
00:14:11,746 --> 00:14:14,585
Not withholding it.
We're going to dismantle it.

167
00:14:14,585 --> 00:14:16,756
<i>( Cutler) Oh?</i>

168
00:14:16,756 --> 00:14:21,761
l don 't recall that my client received an order
depriving her of her personal property.

169
00:14:21,761 --> 00:14:24,096
That's an engine of destruction .

170
00:14:24,096 --> 00:14:27,061
An engine of destruction ?
He committed a crime?

171
00:14:27,061 --> 00:14:32,015
- ''lt'' committed a crime. lt killed Doc Link.
- But that's a murder charge.

172
00:14:32,015 --> 00:14:35,685
Then that's what it is. Murder.
Wanton , savage murder.

173
00:14:35,685 --> 00:14:39,652
- But denied.
- What?

174
00:14:39,652 --> 00:14:43,863
l'm simply repeating your charge,
and entering a plea of ''not guilty''.

175
00:14:43,863 --> 00:14:48,242
Are... are you suggesting
we put a robot, a computer,

176
00:14:48,242 --> 00:14:51,909
wires, electrodes, and what all else,
on trial for murder?

177
00:14:51,909 --> 00:14:55,710
Not a bad idea,
but you said this was a civil case.

178
00:14:55,710 --> 00:14:56,461
lt is.

179
00:14:57,884 --> 00:15:02,842
Not when the defendant
is locked up in jail on a charge of murder.

180
00:15:02,842 --> 00:15:07,184
Mr Cutler, l've always known
you never had much use for us.

181
00:15:07,184 --> 00:15:10,761
But are you trying to make this city
a laughing stock?

182
00:15:10,761 --> 00:15:13,388
There's always the alternative of a civil suit.

183
00:15:13,388 --> 00:15:17,985
Which you could make equally ridiculous
with appeals and more appeals.

184
00:15:17,985 --> 00:15:21,481
True, and that's why l like your shortcut.

185
00:15:21,481 --> 00:15:26,692
A simple hearing without a jury.
Closed to the public, closed to the press.

186
00:15:27,580 --> 00:15:30,746
Just to ascertain the destructive abilities
of the robot?

187
00:15:30,746 --> 00:15:31,497
Mm-hm.

188
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,961
You'd accept the judge's decision as final?

189
00:15:37,214 --> 00:15:41,378
- lf it's all right with my client.
- l'll do whatever you say.

190
00:15:41,378 --> 00:15:43,467
Ah, it's mad.

191
00:15:43,467 --> 00:15:45,469
lt's ludicrous.

192
00:15:45,469 --> 00:15:48,053
l'd do anything in the pursuit of justice.

193
00:15:48,053 --> 00:15:52,181
You'd better draw up those papers
before l think of something else.

194
00:15:52,181 --> 00:15:53,937
Well...

195
00:15:53,937 --> 00:15:56,223
Deputy.

196
00:16:08,412 --> 00:16:12,623
l almost forgot to ask
if this is all OK with you .

197
00:16:34,729 --> 00:16:37,101
Let one thing be understood:

198
00:16:37,101 --> 00:16:41,810
This is a court of law.
That the circumstances are bizarre,

199
00:16:41,810 --> 00:16:45,278
l might say outrageous,
does not alter the facts.

200
00:16:45,278 --> 00:16:49,190
As you yourself said, Your Honour,
this hearing will be conducted

201
00:16:49,190 --> 00:16:52,114
on strict procedure,
and on the highest level.

202
00:16:52,114 --> 00:16:58,285
l believe Mr Cutler has more on his mind
than the defence of a pile of iron .

203
00:16:58,285 --> 00:17:00,957
- Object.
- Sustained.

204
00:17:00,957 --> 00:17:04,956
Please limit yourself
to your opening remarks, Mr Coyle.

205
00:17:04,956 --> 00:17:10,549
The state contends and will prove
that the defendant murdered Dr Link.

206
00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:14,346
The state contends
that a verdict of guilty is mandatory

207
00:17:14,346 --> 00:17:16,968
to protect the people of this community

208
00:17:16,968 --> 00:17:21,565
against the mindless violence
of a destructive machine.

209
00:17:23,402 --> 00:17:25,193
Mr Cutler?

210
00:17:26,238 --> 00:17:29,737
Your Honour, the defence will not
make its opening statement.

211
00:17:29,737 --> 00:17:34,445
But we do have a motion .
We move this case be dismissed

212
00:17:34,445 --> 00:17:39,705
on the grounds it is manifestly impossible
that the defendant is guilty.

213
00:17:42,963 --> 00:17:48,384
ln his deposition , Adam Link swore
he did not kill Doc Link.

214
00:17:48,384 --> 00:17:54,133
Since he is a robot, he can only repeat
information which is programmed into him.

215
00:17:54,133 --> 00:17:56,472
Ergo, he cannot lie.

216
00:17:56,472 --> 00:18:00,469
Therefore, under refutable testimony,
he is innocent.

217
00:18:00,469 --> 00:18:07,486
Your Honour, it is true that a computer can
answer only what has been programmed into it.

218
00:18:07,486 --> 00:18:10,447
But if it's been told white is black,

219
00:18:10,447 --> 00:18:14,951
and it responds that white is black,
isn 't it telling an untruth?

220
00:18:14,951 --> 00:18:16,786
No, Your Honour,

221
00:18:16,786 --> 00:18:21,575
a computer is capable of lying,
on this score and on another,

222
00:18:21,575 --> 00:18:26,371
which the prosecution will take up
at the proper time.

223
00:18:26,371 --> 00:18:29,875
Motion to dismiss denied.
Proceed, Mr Coyle.

224
00:18:36,516 --> 00:18:39,433
The state calls Mrs McCrae.

225
00:18:44,148 --> 00:18:48,062
- What was your relation to Dr Link?
- We weren 't related.

226
00:18:48,062 --> 00:18:52,061
l was his housekeeper and nothing more
for the past nine years.

227
00:18:52,061 --> 00:18:58,070
l'm only trying to establish that you were
well acquainted with his work.

228
00:18:58,070 --> 00:19:01,489
Of course. Cleaned out his lab every week.

229
00:19:01,489 --> 00:19:06,120
You must have been one of the first
to see the robot... the defendant.

230
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:10,203
l saw him when he was nothin '
but nuts and bolts.

231
00:19:12,301 --> 00:19:14,792
<i>(buzzing)</i>

232
00:19:22,978 --> 00:19:26,643
There you are, Mrs McCrae.
l'd thought you'd forgotten about lunch.

233
00:19:26,643 --> 00:19:30,557
Then why have l been screaming at you
for two hours?

234
00:19:30,557 --> 00:19:34,145
Was that you?
l thought it was a barn owl.

235
00:19:34,145 --> 00:19:38,444
You shouldn 't bring that
all the way out here from the house.

236
00:19:38,444 --> 00:19:42,159
You'd starve if l didn 't.
l don 't mind the work.

237
00:19:42,159 --> 00:19:45,823
Mrs McCrae, just wait
till l get Adam here assembled.

238
00:19:45,823 --> 00:19:48,367
He'll do all the hard work.

239
00:19:48,367 --> 00:19:53,379
You're badly fooling yourself if you think
that mechanical man will ever move.

240
00:19:53,379 --> 00:19:56,343
lt's against nature.

241
00:19:56,343 --> 00:19:58,925
<i>( laughs)</i>

242
00:19:58,925 --> 00:20:04,429
No better man ever lived.
But it was the devil's toys he was playing with.

243
00:20:04,429 --> 00:20:08,095
The next time l saw it, it was all together.

244
00:20:23,955 --> 00:20:25,912

246
00:20:30,086 --> 00:20:34,036
- Mrs McCrae, you found another mouse?
- That... that thing...

247
00:20:34,036 --> 00:20:37,340
lt... it moved! lt's staring at me!

248
00:20:37,340 --> 00:20:39,544
lt's alive!

249
00:20:40,721 --> 00:20:41,347
There wasn 't a week passed that
l didn 't drive over to have dinner with Uncle.

250
00:20:41,347 --> 00:20:45,925
There wasn 't a week passed that
l didn 't drive over to have dinner with Uncle.

251
00:20:45,925 --> 00:20:50,058
- l watched him give Adam his lessons.
- He was training him?

252
00:20:50,058 --> 00:20:54,732
He taught him, just as you would teach a child.

253
00:20:54,732 --> 00:20:57,647
He even had to learn how to walk.

254
00:20:59,073 --> 00:21:02,607
l built a three-dimensional spirit level
into the brain .

255
00:21:02,607 --> 00:21:07,784
lt will tell him what's horizontal,
vertical and oblique.

256
00:21:07,784 --> 00:21:13,953
Now, when l turn on this switch,
he should walk, l hope.

00:21:33,857 --> 00:21:38,815
Back to the drawing board.
l was so certain it would work.

260
00:21:39,863 --> 00:21:43,695
Look, Uncle! He's crawling like a baby.

261
00:21:47,746 --> 00:21:51,245
That's it! Come on . Good boy.

262
00:21:51,245 --> 00:21:54,126
Crawl over this way. Crawl to me.

263
00:21:54,126 --> 00:22:00,255
- Why do you suppose he...?
- Uncle! A baby has to crawl before it can walk.

264
00:22:00,255 --> 00:22:04,297
-Nonsense. l never crawled.
- Oh!

Certainly he remembers everything he reads.

Not only that, he makes cross references
which produce logical conclusions.

00:25:10,814 --> 00:25:13,437
Every book in your uncle's library?

303
00:25:13,437 --> 00:25:18,449
Yes, and more that l brought
from the public library.

304
00:25:18,449 --> 00:25:20,654
Miss Link...

305
00:25:21,873 --> 00:25:26,701
l hold in my hand a volume
containing Dr Link's book plate.

306
00:25:26,701 --> 00:25:31,545
Since it came from his home,
may we assume the defendant read it?

307
00:25:32,967 --> 00:25:36,502
- Yes, most likely.
- Would you read the title, please?

308
00:25:36,502 --> 00:25:39,841
<i>t's a nove ent t ed Fr rankenstte n</i>

309
00:25:39,841 --> 00:25:45,016
<i>( Coyle) The premise of which is
that a created man , lacking a soul,</i>

310
00:25:45,016 --> 00:25:49,191
must turn against his creator,
against humanity.

311
00:25:49,191 --> 00:25:55,437
- But that's only a novel. And it's not true.
-No more questions, Miss Link.

312
00:25:55,437 --> 00:25:59,653
l work for Doc regular.
You know... odd jobs.

313
00:25:59,653 --> 00:26:04,993
Like that crate l built to ship the robot in .
Had to be mighty sturdy.

314
00:26:07,001 --> 00:26:11,164
Oh, this'll do just fine, Fred.
Try it out, Adam.

315
00:26:11,164 --> 00:26:14,500
- You want me to get in there?
- That's right.

316
00:26:14,500 --> 00:26:20,257
l wish you could sit in the Pullman with me,
but the other passengers might not like it.

317
00:26:20,257 --> 00:26:25,347
Adam's making his debut.
l'm taking him to Chicago next week.

318
00:26:25,347 --> 00:26:29,427
- That right?
- He's the first of his kind, but not the last.

319
00:26:29,427 --> 00:26:34,273
ln the future, Adam will be the greatest
aid to man and civilisation since...

320
00:26:34,273 --> 00:26:38,732
What are you waiting for, Adam?
Try it out for size.

321
00:26:48,083 --> 00:26:50,574
l don 't like being locked up.

322
00:26:53,964 --> 00:26:57,415
They were still arguing
when l left about three o'clock.

323
00:26:57,415 --> 00:27:00,635
- Arguing?
- Sure, they had arguments.

324
00:27:00,635 --> 00:27:04,261
Differences of opinion ,
some people might say.

325
00:27:04,261 --> 00:27:08,887
There were some things
that that robot just couldn 't understand.

326
00:27:08,887 --> 00:27:10,764
Like what?

327
00:27:10,764 --> 00:27:14,681
The idea of his strength, for one.
How to use it.

328
00:27:14,681 --> 00:27:18,649
- The ethics of using it, as Doc would say.
- Oh?

329
00:27:18,649 --> 00:27:23,489
There was times that Doc thought about
taking it apart and startin ' all over again .

330
00:27:23,489 --> 00:27:26,903
l guess he was right.

331
00:27:26,903 --> 00:27:31,166
That afternoon l heard the argument,
l went to town to cash my cheque

332
00:27:31,166 --> 00:27:37,377
and l found out Doc hadn 't signed it,
l guess he was absent-minded, so l went back.

333
00:27:37,377 --> 00:27:42,548
Doc? Doc, you forgot to put
your John Henry on my...

334
00:27:45,348 --> 00:27:47,387
<i>)oc ?</i>

335
00:28:01,947 --> 00:28:04,023
<i>)oc ?</i>

336
00:28:10,247 --> 00:28:13,165
What have you done to him?

337
00:28:16,336 --> 00:28:19,006
You crazy monster.

338
00:28:20,507 --> 00:28:22,583
You killed him!

339
00:28:22,583 --> 00:28:26,762
No. lt was an accident.

340
00:28:30,767 --> 00:28:35,974
You put that thing down .
You're in enough trouble.

341
00:28:37,357 --> 00:28:39,433
l'm gonna call the law.

342
00:28:42,863 --> 00:28:48,283
We knew Doc had built a mechanical man ,
but how could we figure it'd turn on him?

343
00:28:48,283 --> 00:28:52,110
When we got the report,
we went out looking for him.

344
00:28:52,110 --> 00:28:55,580
That's when we ran across
Evie Cooper near the pond.

345
00:28:56,418 --> 00:28:59,288
- And you were out playing?
- Yes.

346
00:28:59,288 --> 00:29:02,587
- Where were you?
- By the edge of the pond.

347
00:29:02,587 --> 00:29:06,760
By the edge of the pond.
And then you heard something?

348
00:29:06,760 --> 00:29:10,385
- Yes.
- And what was the first thing you saw?

349
00:29:11,766 --> 00:29:14,683
- The big tin man .
- Yes?

350
00:29:14,683 --> 00:29:19,888
- And what did he do?
- Pushed me in the water.

351
00:29:19,888 --> 00:29:22,313
- He did?
- Yes.

352
00:29:22,313 --> 00:29:24,732
What else did he do?

353
00:29:24,732 --> 00:29:29,026
He grabbed me by the arm
and hurt me.

354
00:29:29,026 --> 00:29:31,281
- He hurt you?
- Yes.

355
00:29:31,281 --> 00:29:36,571
Broke your arm. Then he pushed you
in the water and wouldn 't let you out?

356
00:29:36,571 --> 00:29:37,613
Yes.

357
00:29:38,793 --> 00:29:41,829
Maybe something else
he couldn 't understand...

358
00:29:41,829 --> 00:29:44,418
..that a human being can drown .

359
00:29:44,418 --> 00:29:47,751
He's the one, the tin man !

360
00:29:53,515 --> 00:29:58,391
<i>( Cutler) Professor, you have an impressive
string of degrees after your name.</i>

361
00:29:58,391 --> 00:30:03,681
Would it be proper to say that you're
one of the leading figures in your field?

362
00:30:03,681 --> 00:30:06,522
Possibly. l'm not impressed with ratings.

363
00:30:06,522 --> 00:30:10,105
- You knew Dr Link personally?
- lntimately.

364
00:30:10,105 --> 00:30:13,526
- What kind of a man was he?
- A wonderful man .

365
00:30:13,526 --> 00:30:15,404
- Gentle?
- Kind.

366
00:30:15,404 --> 00:30:21,990
- Shame he met such an untimely death.
- lt's a loss to the entire world.

367
00:30:21,990 --> 00:30:24,452
You worked with him scientifically.

368
00:30:24,452 --> 00:30:28,004
You've done some outstanding work
in the field of electronic brains?

369
00:30:28,004 --> 00:30:29,876
Computers, yes.

370
00:30:29,876 --> 00:30:34,090
- Would you say the defendant is a computer?
- He's a true robot.

371
00:30:34,090 --> 00:30:37,342
He was constructed to perform manual tasks,

372
00:30:37,342 --> 00:30:40,346
much in the manner of
an automated industrial plant.

373
00:30:40,346 --> 00:30:45,983
However, Dr Link succeeded in creating
a very advanced type of computer brain .

374
00:30:45,983 --> 00:30:50,687
- A really marvellous creation .
- He functions as a human being?

375
00:30:50,687 --> 00:30:53,776
Physically, l'd say he could outperform
any human being.

376
00:30:53,776 --> 00:30:58,072
- ls he capable of human emotion ?
- Ah, well, that's something else again .

377
00:30:58,072 --> 00:31:01,655
l would suggest he would adopt some,
but not all.

378
00:31:01,655 --> 00:31:06,500
lf he was taught to love, he would not
automatically learn the opposite was hate?

379
00:31:06,500 --> 00:31:09,202
ln my opinion , that would be impossible.

380
00:31:09,202 --> 00:31:13,634
- Where would he derive his emotions from?
- From environment, from his programmer.

381
00:31:13,634 --> 00:31:16,548
ln this case Dr Charles Link.

382
00:31:16,548 --> 00:31:20,263
Would you say Dr Link had the emotions
of a murderer?

383
00:31:20,263 --> 00:31:23,808
No. l've already described
the sort of man he was.

384
00:31:23,808 --> 00:31:26,892
Oh, yes. So you did.

385
00:31:27,858 --> 00:31:32,271
l'm through with the witness.
Tom, you wish to cross-examine?

386
00:31:32,271 --> 00:31:34,895
Yes, Mr Cutler.

387
00:31:39,745 --> 00:31:44,206
Tell me, Professor,
isn 't the defendant animated by electricity?

388
00:31:44,206 --> 00:31:47,453
Yes. There's an electronic
power source in the chest.

389
00:31:47,453 --> 00:31:53,541
- What would happen if he were to leak or rust?
- lt would cause a short circuit, l suppose.

390
00:31:53,541 --> 00:31:58,053
Now l ask you , Professor Hebbel,
what would be the result?

391
00:31:58,053 --> 00:32:02,557
lt would damage some of the cells,
l suppose. l really can 't say.

392
00:32:02,557 --> 00:32:06,848
<i>( Coyle) ln other words,
he would be disrupted? Thrown out of kilter?</i>

393
00:32:06,848 --> 00:32:10,349
Or, in human terms, go berserk?

394
00:32:10,349 --> 00:32:13,899
Well, the analogy is not completely
far-fetched, l suppose.

395
00:32:13,899 --> 00:32:20,197
Would it be possible to simulate such a damage
to the cells of this creature's brain ?

396
00:32:21,536 --> 00:32:27,906
Yes, l could switch off the sensory wires
leading to a portion of his iridium memory bank.

397
00:32:27,906 --> 00:32:30,450
l ask the court's indulgence.

398
00:32:30,450 --> 00:32:32,164
Object!

399
00:32:32,164 --> 00:32:38,584
Your Honour, this type of theatrics
went out with vaudeville. This is not germane.

400
00:32:38,584 --> 00:32:40,796
Overruled. l think it is germane.

401
00:32:40,796 --> 00:32:44,880
And l think the prosecutor
has laid the proper foundation .

402
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,018
And l am interested in the experiment.

403
00:32:48,018 --> 00:32:51,100
However, Mr Coyle, could this be dangerous?

404
00:32:51,100 --> 00:32:56,309
Under some conditions, yes, Your Honour.
But l've taken some precautions.

405
00:32:57,989 --> 00:33:00,943
Adam Link, will you step forward?

406
00:33:01,993 --> 00:33:04,365
Mr Cutler?

407
00:33:06,455 --> 00:33:08,531
Let him do it, Adam.

408
00:33:10,376 --> 00:33:15,880
l will no longer be responsible
for my actions.

409
00:33:17,967 --> 00:33:21,964
We just had a ruling. Let him do it.

410
00:33:31,522 --> 00:33:33,598
Shall we, Doctor?

411
00:33:44,660 --> 00:33:48,194
Have you a screwdriver? Thank you .

412
00:34:07,724 --> 00:34:09,800
Ready, Professor?

413
00:34:12,187 --> 00:34:16,480
We have here, Your Honour,
Dr Link's remote-control unit.

414
00:34:19,486 --> 00:34:21,359
All right...

415
00:34:21,359 --> 00:34:23,397
Go ahead.

416
00:34:29,912 --> 00:34:31,870
<i>(whirring)</i>

417
00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:52,511
<i>(spectators screaming)</i>

418
00:34:53,769 --> 00:34:54,895
Stop! No!

419
00:34:57,440 --> 00:34:59,349
<i>( man) Get the control box.</i>

420
00:35:29,763 --> 00:35:32,432
Have you got it? ls he safe now?

421
00:35:37,688 --> 00:35:39,976
He's safe now, Your Honour.

422
00:35:43,944 --> 00:35:49,104
Thank you for the demonstration .
And now we will recess,

423
00:35:49,104 --> 00:35:53,701
clean up the courtroom,
and get on with the hearing.

424
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,291
Adam, what were your sensations?

425
00:35:59,291 --> 00:36:02,039
l had no sensations.

426
00:36:03,088 --> 00:36:08,129
- What were your thoughts?
- l wanted to destroy.

427
00:36:09,177 --> 00:36:13,755
- Had you ever had thoughts like that before?
-No.

428
00:36:15,099 --> 00:36:19,311
- Had you ever wanted to destroy before?
-No.

429
00:36:21,064 --> 00:36:24,847
Think back to the afternoon
of Doc Link's death.

430
00:36:24,847 --> 00:36:30,738
- Can you remember what happened?
- l remember everything, Mr Cutler.

431
00:36:30,738 --> 00:36:34,530
l am incapable of forgetting.

432
00:36:35,578 --> 00:36:38,614
Yes. Well, that's something l forgot.

433
00:36:39,498 --> 00:36:42,036
Tell us what happened that day.

434
00:36:42,036 --> 00:36:48,372
After Fred the handyman left,
Dr Link started working.

435
00:36:48,372 --> 00:36:51,959
l went into my reading room.

436
00:36:59,601 --> 00:37:01,677
<i>( loud crashing)</i>

437
00:37:10,237 --> 00:37:13,985
Dr Link, you should not try to fix things.

438
00:37:13,985 --> 00:37:17,282
That is what you have me for.

439
00:37:17,282 --> 00:37:20,910
Wait, l will move it off you .

440
00:37:27,129 --> 00:37:29,620
Are you hurt, Dr Link?

441
00:37:29,620 --> 00:37:33,421
You will have to tell me what to do.

442
00:37:33,421 --> 00:37:37,217
l have never seen an injured human being.

443
00:37:37,217 --> 00:37:43,266
Doc, how can a man pay for his beer
when you won 't sign his pay cheque?

444
00:37:51,444 --> 00:37:57,150
- What's going on here?
- Dr Link has been injured.

445
00:37:57,150 --> 00:38:00,368
Please tell me how to help him.

446
00:38:03,206 --> 00:38:06,409
You hit him with that thing.

447
00:38:06,409 --> 00:38:10,326
No, it was an accident.

448
00:38:11,714 --> 00:38:13,872
You killed him!

449
00:38:18,179 --> 00:38:22,757
You stay away from me.
Keep back!

450
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:33,399
Dr Link still had not moved.
His head was bleeding.

451
00:38:33,399 --> 00:38:37,857
l had to find someone
who would tell me what to do.

452
00:38:45,247 --> 00:38:47,655
<i>( Fred) There he is!
There's the monster!</i>

453
00:38:51,879 --> 00:38:53,955
<i>(gunshot</i>

454
00:38:55,174 --> 00:38:59,467
No, no. Help Dr Link!

455
00:39:01,972 --> 00:39:05,175
And so the posse chased me,

456
00:39:05,175 --> 00:39:09,353
armed with weapons, guns and axes.

457
00:39:10,689 --> 00:39:15,600
- And the incident with the child at the pond?
- l must have frightened her.

458
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:21,192
She was playing and tripped
and fell into the pond.

459
00:39:21,192 --> 00:39:25,867
- And what did you do?
- l lifted her out.

460
00:39:26,997 --> 00:39:32,536
- Why?
- l was afraid she might come to harm.

461
00:39:34,421 --> 00:39:38,288
- You lifted her out by the arm?
- Yes.

462
00:39:38,288 --> 00:39:41,628
You broke her arm, Adam.

463
00:39:41,628 --> 00:39:47,004
lnever touched a child before.
They are very fragile.

464
00:39:47,004 --> 00:39:50,724
Tell me something...
You have the strength of ten men .

465
00:39:50,724 --> 00:39:54,139
When you were cornered,
why didn 't you fight back?

466
00:39:54,139 --> 00:39:58,982
l did not want to injure anybody.

467
00:39:58,982 --> 00:40:02,112
- Afraid of your own strength, huh?
- Yes.

468
00:40:02,112 --> 00:40:06,107
How about getting wet?
When you waded into the pond,

469
00:40:06,107 --> 00:40:08,781
didn 't you give yourself a short circuit?

470
00:40:08,781 --> 00:40:13,788
No. All my wiring is insulated.

471
00:40:13,788 --> 00:40:18,165
Didn 't catch a cold? No rheumatism?
No ill effects of any kind?

472
00:40:18,165 --> 00:40:21,631
<i>- ( Adam) None.
- Tom, your witness.</i>

473
00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:34,096
Adam, you testified to pulling
the little Cooper girl from the pond

474
00:40:34,096 --> 00:40:37,894
because you were worried
she might come to harm.

475
00:40:37,894 --> 00:40:41,560
- Yes.
- You were worried.

476
00:40:41,560 --> 00:40:46,072
And the reason you didn 't resist arrest
was concern over injuring someone?

477
00:40:46,072 --> 00:40:47,907
Yes.

478
00:40:47,907 --> 00:40:51,285
And about Dr Link's death,
you felt sorrow?

479
00:40:52,247 --> 00:40:53,278
Yes.

480
00:40:53,278 --> 00:40:56,618
Worry, concern , sorrow...

481
00:40:56,618 --> 00:40:59,752
..these are certainly human emotions.

482
00:40:59,752 --> 00:41:03,130
Would you agree they'd arrived
from your creator?

483
00:41:04,551 --> 00:41:08,501
l am only an extension of Dr Link.

484
00:41:08,501 --> 00:41:12,054
Then you didn 't know
that he suffered from claustrophobia,

485
00:41:12,054 --> 00:41:15,018
a strong fear of being closed in ?

486
00:41:15,018 --> 00:41:17,517
He never told me.

487
00:41:17,517 --> 00:41:21,775
You objected to being closed
in that carrying crate, didn 't you?

488
00:41:21,775 --> 00:41:26,029
l do not like to be caged up.

489
00:41:26,029 --> 00:41:30,284
But when he insisted, you were
carried away by your emotions,

490
00:41:30,284 --> 00:41:32,651
your inherited fear of being caged up.

491
00:41:32,651 --> 00:41:38,243
Then you wrenched the angle iron from the wall
and stuck him violently over the head!

492
00:41:38,243 --> 00:41:45,339
No! No! The generator fell on him.
You must believe that.

493
00:41:45,339 --> 00:41:47,838
lt was an accident.

494
00:41:50,012 --> 00:41:56,097
l find it difficult to believe, considering
you're very close to breaking my arm.

495
00:42:01,232 --> 00:42:04,517
There was an old heavyweight l used to like.

496
00:42:04,517 --> 00:42:09,230
A real crowd pleaser when he had it.
But he got tired.

497
00:42:09,230 --> 00:42:12,069
You're tired, Mr Cutler. You don 't mix it.

498
00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:19,199
You can still put on a flurry at the end of a round,
but you didn 't follow up.

499
00:42:19,199 --> 00:42:21,622
How do you think the trial's going?

500
00:42:21,622 --> 00:42:27,755
Are you telling me you're worried
that tin can will end up in a scrap heap?

501
00:42:27,755 --> 00:42:30,456
- Yes. More than you think.
- Come off it.

502
00:42:30,456 --> 00:42:35,837
All you wanted was another shot at Coyle
and Barclay and the entrenched stupidity.

503
00:42:35,837 --> 00:42:41,728
''Entrenched stupidity'', that's not half bad.
Do you find it in big cities too?

504
00:42:41,728 --> 00:42:44,975
Sure, but we have a better class of stupidity.

505
00:42:45,776 --> 00:42:51,730
Your Honour, this trial,
if we can now call it that in summation ,

506
00:42:51,730 --> 00:42:58,152
since it is a devisement based on a compact
between Miss Nina Link and the prosecution ,

507
00:42:58,152 --> 00:43:04,077
still is binding on the life
or death of Adam Link.

508
00:43:06,504 --> 00:43:10,454
l am not now entering a plea for mercy
or extenuating circumstances,

509
00:43:10,454 --> 00:43:13,509
because that would imply guilt,

510
00:43:13,509 --> 00:43:18,179
and under no circumstances
does the defence admit guilt.

511
00:43:20,518 --> 00:43:25,809
Of course, the district attorney
is not really trying a robot for murder.

512
00:43:25,809 --> 00:43:30,981
We both knew from the beginning
that he is trying all of society

513
00:43:30,981 --> 00:43:35,062
on the concept of a robot itself,

514
00:43:35,062 --> 00:43:39,908
on progress, on science, on the future,

515
00:43:39,908 --> 00:43:45,791
on the ability of society
to control what it creates.

516
00:43:48,504 --> 00:43:51,339
lf you find Adam Link guilty,

517
00:43:51,339 --> 00:43:55,878
you are convicting society of irresponsibility.

518
00:43:55,878 --> 00:44:01,432
You are telling society to put away
its yearning for a better world,

519
00:44:01,432 --> 00:44:06,055
its hunger for a better way of life...

520
00:44:06,055 --> 00:44:10,138
..its reaching for the stars.

521
00:44:17,324 --> 00:44:19,281
M r Coy e ?

522
00:44:26,750 --> 00:44:29,502
Yes, Your Honour. l admit it.

523
00:44:29,502 --> 00:44:35,002
Society is really on trial here...
society as creator.

524
00:44:35,002 --> 00:44:39,961
Adam Link didn 't commit the murder, we did.
We turned him on and off.

525
00:44:39,961 --> 00:44:43,679
Aren 't we rushing pell-mell,
without responsibility,

526
00:44:43,679 --> 00:44:46,216
towards some dreadful catastrophe?

527
00:44:46,216 --> 00:44:51,560
Wouldn 't we all be better off if science
hadn 't exploded its technology in our faces?

528
00:44:53,026 --> 00:44:57,273
Now we ro asked,
n the ha me o f pr og ross,

529
00:44:57,273 --> 00:45:01,617
to control a piece of machinery
with a brain of its own .

530
00:45:01,617 --> 00:45:05,657
l don 't think we, society, are ready for it.

531
00:45:05,657 --> 00:45:09,323
lt's an unreasoning piece
of destructive machinery,

532
00:45:09,323 --> 00:45:11,700
and never will be properly mastered.

533
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:16,545
l don 't think we should let
such a force loose on the Earth.

534
00:45:47,997 --> 00:45:50,488
The judge is still out.

535
00:45:50,488 --> 00:45:51,530
know

536
00:45:53,377 --> 00:45:59,332
Shame. lt was no flurry.
You were swinging from bell to bell.

537
00:46:00,592 --> 00:46:03,510
Pretty good show, huh?

538
00:46:03,510 --> 00:46:06,389
All right, l was wrong.

539
00:46:10,143 --> 00:46:12,848
Tell me something...

540
00:46:14,773 --> 00:46:20,313
lf you care so much about people,
why did you retire from the human race?

541
00:46:20,313 --> 00:46:25,024
- l could ask you the same question .
- l just got out of town .

542
00:46:26,868 --> 00:46:32,491
- Why did you send that girl to me?
- You'd latch on to the meaning of this incident.

543
00:46:32,491 --> 00:46:36,622
One thing you'll learn
if you manage to live long as l...

544
00:46:36,622 --> 00:46:41,498
..there's always more than one man ,
always more than one hope.

545
00:46:41,498 --> 00:46:47,303
- Go on , write your story.
- l can 't. Haven 't got the finish yet.

546
00:46:52,393 --> 00:46:55,430
Under normal circumstances,
l would find the evidence sufficient

547
00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:58,813
to bind the defendant over for trial by jury.

548
00:46:58,813 --> 00:47:03,769
However, under the abnormal
circumstances of this hearing,

549
00:47:03,769 --> 00:47:07,819
the court is charged with rendering
a final verdict.

550
00:47:10,244 --> 00:47:13,827
The court finds the defendant
guilty as charged.

551
00:47:19,628 --> 00:47:24,006
-The defendant is to be destroyed?
- lt is so ordered.

552
00:47:25,801 --> 00:47:27,675
<i>(bailiff) All rise.</i>

553
00:47:32,474 --> 00:47:36,721
<i>( Adam) You are not surprised, Mr Cutler?</i>

554
00:47:36,721 --> 00:47:41,681
No. lt'll take a long time
to change human nature.

555
00:47:41,681 --> 00:47:45,435
And you thought a trial might help?

556
00:47:46,822 --> 00:47:52,777
That's what l thought, Adam.
l thought... if a robot can understand,

557
00:47:52,777 --> 00:47:57,324
maybe in time we mortals will catch on too.

558
00:48:15,392 --> 00:48:18,558
Where's the wagon ?
l gave orders to have it waitin '.

559
00:48:18,558 --> 00:48:24,392
- Afraid of a lynching?
- Ain 't nobody gonna get near this thing.

560
00:48:24,392 --> 00:48:28,938
<i>( Cutler) lf Adam were going to escape,
he'd have done it long since.</i>

561
00:48:28,938 --> 00:48:31,064
There's the wagon .

562
00:48:35,495 --> 00:48:37,653
The tin man !

563
00:48:54,472 --> 00:48:56,381
<i>( Evie crying)</i>

564
00:48:56,381 --> 00:48:58,674
OK, baby. lt's all right.

565
00:49:02,229 --> 00:49:06,061
Too bad, Sheriff.
Adam just cheated the executioner.

566
00:49:18,495 --> 00:49:23,572
Well, there's the end of your story.
Everybody can sleep easy tonight.

567
00:49:23,572 --> 00:49:27,576
That terrible monster
won 't harm anybody ever again .

568
00:49:27,576 --> 00:49:32,838
- He's as dead as old Doc Link's dream.
- lt's not the end of the story.

569
00:49:32,838 --> 00:49:35,210
lt's just the beginning.

570
00:49:43,979 --> 00:49:47,893
<i>( man) Out of every disaster,
a little progress is made.</i>

571
00:49:47,893 --> 00:49:53,363
Man will build more robots
and learn how to make them better.

572
00:49:53,363 --> 00:50:00,025
And given enough time,
he may learn how to do the same for himself.

573
00:50:01,079 --> 00:50:04,578
We now return control
of your television set to you

574
00:50:04,578 --> 00:50:09,749
until next week at this same time
when the control voice will take you to...

575
00:50:09,749 --> 00:50:12,549
..The Outer Limits.
