Previously on next...

You want to pull that trigger,
but you can't.

so he came at you with a knife,
so you had to shoot him?

I did what I had to do.

You've kept this entire life
from me.

From ethan.
We'll go to my parents.

You can do whatever
you have to do.

I can't believe this
is happening.

Whether we like it or not,
we're in this now.

These are projections.
A bioweapon.

Billions dead.

I'm next.

And we're going
to do great things together.

It's getting ready
for the next step,

which is finding a place
it can unpack its code

and reach its full potential.

The server farm you recently
completed in sungei lake--

I want to make arrangements
to take it over.

-What is it? What's wrong?
-He just--

abby: He gave himself
electroshock therapy.

Dad has this drive.

I need to see the hard drive.

It's not copying anything;
it's formatting the hard drive.

It's erasing everything.

Do you have any idea
what you've just done?

I mean, why would he do that?

He's not looking for the server
'cause he already has it.

Ted has the server.

Well, correct me if I'm wrong,
congresswoman,

but haven't they always been

significant contributors
to your campaigns?

I've always been able
to depend on them, yes.

And how's it feel
to spend so much time

panhandling billionaires?

I'm all
for campaign finance reform,

but I'm not
for unilateral disarmament.

cyber defense?
Server farms?

I don't remember mentioning any
of that.

That's not for the piece
I'm writing about you.

That's a, um,
personal project.

Uh-huh.

-If we could--

-what the hell is going on?

-ted?

if I said, "you'll thank me
for this one day,"

are you still gonna hit me
with that thing?

what the hell
are you doing here?

How did you get in?

Through the garage.

You should really change
your code.

listen, as much as I'd like
to catch up with you,

I'm kind of in a hurry.
Where's ted?

Were you
going through his office?

Yeah, I was,
and I was really frustrated

until I found his sleeping
pills, which he refilled today,

half of which are missing.

And I know he only takes them

to knock himself out
on long flights,

so where did he go?

It's 4:00 a.M., paul.

You--you need to go home.

Has he left already?
Tell me which country.

I don't--I don't even know.

And even if I did,
why would I tell you?

So you can go
and ruin something

that he's invested
his whole life into?

Deb, he's in deep trouble.

He doesn't know
what he's doing.

that's funny,

'cause he says
the same thing about you.

I'm serious, this thing he's
got is very dangerous.

-Paul...
-People have been killed.

Don't.
You need to leave, okay?

If you don't leave right now,
I'm gonna call the police.

I swear to god,
I'm not kidding.

You're not hearing me.

-I am serious--
-listen, just tell me--

-where he is.

I haven't even been home
to pack.

I'll buy you
a whole new wardrobe

-when we get to singapore.

and then a new house
to put it in, or two, or three.

Whatever you want.

-I think one will do.

hey, you're not still concerned
about this deal, are you?

Compatibility
is concerning, yeah.

Oh, man, my boyfriend finds out
that I've left the country

and I don't know when I'll be
back, I think it's gonna be it.

well, I'll buy you
a new one of those, too.

listen,
if he doesn't appreciate

all that you're doing,

then maybe it should be it.

It's making things
that we can't even imagine,

which we will then present
to the world,

which will make the world
a much better place.

It is everything
we've ever dreamed of.

It is.

She's ready.

okay.

Okay, get the container.
Start packing it up.

Yes, ma'am.

hello?

Is this mr. Leblanc?

Yeah, this is him.
Who is this?

I'm calling
from stanford hospital.

I'm sorry to inform you
that your wife was admitted

a short time ago
with a head injury.

What?

What happened?
Is she okay?

She's in surgery now.

I won't have more information
until the doctor--

I'm on my way.
Thank you.

What's wrong?

Deborah's in the hospital.
I--I gotta go.

Oh--oh, my god,
of course, go.

All right, uh, I'm gonna try
to catch up with you,

but if I don't,

don't wait for me.

don't you think that
we should maybe postpone, or--

no, no, no, no, absolutely not.
You go, explain the situation,

and I'll call you
as soon as I know anything.

Uh...

Don't take your eyes off of it.

ted.

Paul, what are you doing here?

Deb's fine.
She's at home.

What are you talking--

you faked the call?

I didn't know how else
to get your attention

or if you'd already left.

Who told you I was leaving?

-We need to talk.
-No, we don't, actually.

Where is that server?

oh, my god.

I'm trying to look out for you.

Yeah, I think we're
a little beyond that.

Ted!

you're stubborn.
You've always been like that.

I know I'm the one that gets
accused of being stubborn,

but you are actually the one
who's so bull-headed--

the hell are you doing here?
How did you find me?

I talked to your daughter.

Kid can't stay off
the telephone.

Where have you been?
Where's the hard drive?

Oh, she didn't explain
that part to you?

what's that?

-what's what?

paul?

Is that--is that
your brother in the trunk?

I don't know
what you're talking about.

Paul, how did you even get him
in there by yourself?

paul!

Paul, can you hear me?!

-You tased him?
-He wouldn't cooperate.

Damn it, paul!
By the way,

these things are unbelievable.

I'm definitely investing
in this company.

-Paul--
Get me out of here!

Look, I understand
that you're a cop,

but now might not be the time
to go by the book.

Ted has the server.

Let me out right now!
I can hear you!

well?

We're not gonna do this here,
are we?

Nope.

Paul!

It's getting hard to breathe.
There's no air.

are you okay?
You seem a little, uh--

Paul!
-Ted!

Don't make me come back there!

Let's just go, paul.

Do you have any idea

what is gonna happen
to you after this?

Huh, do you?

Face the wall.

Your career's gonna be over.

I don't care what judges
you think you know.

You'll be lucky if you get
less than five years.

don't do anything stupid.

He's delusional.
Do you understand that?

He refuses help from anyone.

I'm not doing this for him.

hey!

You're just gonna leave me
in here?

did he say anything?

What do you think?

But you think he might

if you show him what
we pulled off the hard drive?

I don't know.

Well, I think I found something
that might make a difference.

Dad.
Dad, did you hear me?

I said I think I found
something that--

if it's not the server,
I'm not interested.

You got all this
off the hard drive?

Before it was erased, yeah.

Look, I am trying to fix that,

and I spent
the last three hours

combing through
everything.

Okay, what'd you find?

I think it tried
to kill a congresswoman.

What?

That itinerary,
it's helen beatty.

She was in that freak
elevator accident last week.

In san francisco?

You saying this thing tried
to kill helen beatty?

-Wait, you know her?
-Yeah, she's a pain in the ass.

She's always trying to regulate
the tech industry.

She sits on the committee
on energy and commerce.

Wait, they decide
which countries

we're allowed to sell tech to.

So if ted...

Was trying to make a deal
with a foreign company

to take in the ai,

something that beatty did
or is about to do--

it must threaten that deal.

who are you calling?

If we can figure out
why beatty was being targeted,

then we might be able to find
out where ted was taking next.

Ben, where are you?

I got something you need
to look at.

Unbelievable.
A new low--

just listen to me.

This thing is developing
a bioweapon.

These are projections
of speed and spread.

I don't know what that is.

That is someone this thing
has already killed,

along with hundreds
of other people.

It downed a pakistani jet liner

to kill one woman who was
asking questions about it.

Paul.

Don't tell me
you don't believe me.

I don't know what
to believe right now.

You did this, okay?

That's off the drive
that you had abby erase.

Did you have your fbi
forensics team verify all that?

I don't have to.

Ted:
Why, 'cause you believe him?

No, because I've seen what it
can do and I've talked to it.

Well, I haven't talked to it,
so I think you'll understand

that I think it's
all a bit far-fetched.

You would say anything
right now.

You would do anything.
It's how you get what you want.

You are so paranoid.
-Ted.

So confused.
You tased me?

I--I'm sorry.

I know about your condition,

so I know about the
hallucinations, the psychosis--

just tell us
where the server is

while we still have a chance
to stop it.

It's too late.

What does that mean?

Look, I'm not an idiot.

I'm not gonna just
let this thing run wild.

It's gonna be in a box.

Like the box you had
it in last time?

No, we learned
from what happened.

It has its own facility.

It's not gonna get out
this time.

It will always get out.
Dad.

They're here.

it will get out.
It will always get out.

You follow the route?
To the letter.

No intersections, took the old
dockside road to get here.

-No one spotted us.
-Good.

-Where is this place, boss?
-It's mine.

I used to come here alone

before you turned it
into a bed and breakfast.

You know what to do.

-Keep an eye on his sutures.
-I'm fine.

Stop saying that, you ass.

You're being held together

with scotch tape and staples
right now.

All right, okay.

All right, let's get going.

They'll watch cm.

He'll be fine.
We serve brunch in 15 minutes.

Look, if we can't get ted
to talk,

this congresswoman
might be our only shot.

they send you in here
to come talk to me?

No.

No, I had to convince them
to let me in here

to give you a glass of water.

I think he's afraid
I might listen to you again.

I told him that I tricked you,
that it wasn't your fault.

but it was.

I did everything you told me
to do,

I didn't ask a single question,
I just--

I never thought that you
would do something like that.

I thought
I was doing the right thing.

And that's why I called you.

I...

I always knew I could depend
on you.

I never believed a word he said
about you.

and the more I think about it,

in his own very flawed way,

his lies were meant
to protect me.

But he's a mess

and he's done a lot of really,
really hurtful things,

and he wasn't around
like he should've been.

But there's one thing
he never did to me.

he never used me.

I made a mistake.

And I shouldn't have ever done
that to you, abby.

No, you shouldn't have.

Abby, abby.
Hey, abby.

-can I help you?
-Ah, yes.

We're here to speak
with representative beatty.

I'm sorry, did we schedule
an appointment for--

We don't have an appointment.

This just came up.
It's important.

Oh, well, she's occupied
at the moment.

If you'd like to wait,
you could have a seat.

Yeah, we're from
the fbi cyber crimes unit.

Her life might be in danger,

so we might want
to reconsider how busy she is.

okay.

put on your hard hats,
'cause she's in a mood.

sorry to pull you out.

Believe me, I'll survive.

Law enforcement?

Your posture
always gives you guys away.

Like you got a--

whale bone up your ass
or something.

All right, no offense.

None taken.

Look, I'm doing 1,000 words
on the congresswoman.

Sunday profile.

If there's anything
you can think of

to make this remotely
interesting,

I'd be eternally grateful.

representative beatty
will see you now.

have fun.

a cyberattack?
I don't understand.

How did they know that I
was gonna be in that elevator?

We believe they had access to
your itinerary ahead of time.

And they could make
the elevator crash?

Just from a computer?
Is that even possible?

Yeah, it's not only possible,
it's easy.

I don't--I don't--
I don't even know what to say.

We understand you sit

on the committee
for commerce and energy?

Uh-huh.

And part
of your responsibilities

was on oversight
on business dealings

with foreign companies?

Well, I haven't say
on that committee for,

I don't know, a year.

But you're still focused on
regulating the tech industry,

-is that right?
-Helen: I ran on that.

But truth be told,

I haven't gained much headway.

Those companies
have congress on a leash.

Would it be possible for us
to have access to your files?

Everything you and your staff
have been working on.

Look, I just need to know

whoever is responsible
for this attack on me,

do you think that
they would try it again?

Ma'am, this entire room
is filled with smart devices

that can not only be accessed
remotely, but controlled,

just like that elevator.

Is--is this a smart bulb?

Uh, yes, as a matter of fact,
it is.

It was installed last month

as a part of the power
saving initiative, why?

Well, because they're
also vulnerable.

You're kidding.

You know,
they can use infrared light

to steal information
from other devices.

What, I'm supposed to be afraid
of my light bulb?

Do--do you mind if I...?

are you okay?

I'm impressed.

Oh, don't be.

That is about the extent
of my mandarin.

I meant impressed
that you're a woman.

Why is that?

Because I know how difficult

the u.S. Technology industry
can be for women.

Glass walls and all that.

-Ceiling.
-Excuse me?

The expression
is glass ceiling.

But, uh, yeah, tech in general
and coding, especially,

can be a boy's club.

But that didn't stop you.

-Just have to be twice as good.

so where's the plane?

It left about an hour late,
but it's on the way.

May we?

if you like,
we can prepare it now.

If it's all the same,

I think it's best
if we just wait for the plane.

of course.

is all of this
really necessary?

Keep the blue ones
for me, please.

Until we know exactly why
you're being targeted,

congresswoman, yes, it is.

Even under
direct personal protection,

I'd stay off
all networked devices

until we know
the danger's passed.

that is impossible.

I have fundraising calls
and town halls scheduled.

Gina: I know this is sudden
and a huge inconvenience--

it's much more than that.
I'm running for re-election.

This is a critical time
in my campaign.

I can't just suddenly
disappear.

I--I've got phone calls
to voters and donors,

not to mention the press.

A journalist has been
shadowing me for a profile.

Yes, we met him outside.

Well, then,
you know what I'm up against.

Bad enough he already
almost cracked his head open

in the elevator.

-Could you, please?
-Yes.

He was in the elevator
with you?

For the last two weeks,

wherever I've been,
he's been, too.

It's part of his job.

Though he makes it no secret

that he'd rather be covering
some conspiracy theories.

Why would you say that?

Because I caught him
making notes

on some other story
he was covering.

Said it was gonna
make his career.

I am ready to go now.

I have to admit, I thought
he would've cracked by now.

I'm almost impressed.

I'm going in alone next time.

In the meantime,
no one talks to him.

Isolation raises anxiety.

Oh, yeah?
Is that in the manual?

Actually, yeah.

We'll see if I deserved that a.

where's your family?

they're with my in-laws.

They decided
they'd be safer that way.

I--I don't want
to talk about it.

Fair enough.

I just want to
know that they're safe

and I guess there really--

there really isn't anywhere
that's safe right now,

is there?

I'm afraid there isn't.

And the only chance for them
or for any of us...

hell with it.

look, I'm not gonna go through
this with you all again.

No, you're not.
This time, it's just with me.

what?

Before we get started, there's
a few things you should know.

This thing you're trying
to protect?

It killed one
of my best friends,

then it sent a murderer
after my son,

and now my career is
in shambles.

I've done things that place me
far outside the law.

Oh, is this the part
where you're the bad cop, now?

My husband and my son
are somewhere out there,

somewhere not here with me.

and that's because
of your server.

I want my family back.

I want my life back,

and the only thing standing
in my way right now is you.

I've got nothing to lose.

So believe me when I tell you

that this is the very last
chance you're gonna get.

Tell me, where is that server?

Look,

you don't know this, but I
suffer from anxiety, all right?

So I need to get out of here.

This really is not good for me.

So if I could just stand up
for a second?

I need to at least get up
and walk around for a second.

Remember how I said next
sent a murderer after my son?

yeah.

That was my father.

Your father?

Yeah, he used to talk to people
in rooms like this,

getting them to answer things
they didn't want to.

He was...
He was really good at it.

And he liked
to play this little game.

look, I'm sorry that
all of that happened to you.

I didn't know that.

How could I possibly know any
of that, all right?

But I'm telling you,

this thing can do some good--

-oh, my god!

Wait, okay.

What are you doing?

-This was his gun.
-Okay, are you crazy?!

Boss, boss, you okay in there?

Salazar?

I took it from him.

Boss, open the door!

Salazar! You okay?
: What are you doing?

Paul.
Hey!

paul?

Paul:
open the door!

Ted:
Paul?!

No, no, no, no, no, don't,
don't, don't, don't!

No, no, no, no, please!

-please, please, just--

No, stop! Paul!

paul!
Okay, okay, no, no, no, please!

Don't do this!
Please, please, please!

-don't do this! No!

No, don't! Paul!

Bill--bill zhai, bill zhai!

I'm working with bill zhai!

-whoa, whoa!
-Whoa!

he's not answering.

what are you doing out of bed?

I couldn't sleep.
Can I watch tv?

It's late.
And I told you, there is no tv.

It's right there.
We just have to plug it in.

-No, we can't and you know why.
-That's stupid.

We watch tv,
and tv doesn't watch us.

-When is mom coming home?
-Next week.

Great, maybe then
I'll get my phone back.

All right, baby.
Listen.

I know that it's been crazy,
but I need you to trust me.

stay in here no matter what.

-Okay?
-Okay.

you guys scared the crap out
of me.

Hey.
Sorry.

Do you mind putting that down?

the elevator accident
was deliberate?

And we believe
you were the target.

I knew it.

I mean, I knew something was
going on, but that really--

you gotta call my wife.

She thinks I'm insane.

They've got bugs everywhere
watching every move I make.

It got so bad, I turned off
all my electronics.

I want to show you something.

When did you first start
noticing these irregularities?

A week ago.
When I started digging.

-On the congresswoman?
-No, that's just for the money.

I'm talking about
a real conspiracy.

Stay down, stay down,
stay down!

Oh, my god.

he's running.
Are you okay with him?

Yeah, he's alive.
Go!

I'll call it in!

Harrison:

hold it!

fbi, freeze!

Hands up!
Freeze!

Hands!

Turn around, slowly!

-stay with me.

Okay, come on. Okay.

We're gonna get you out.
Stay with me.

Dad?

Hey, honey.

Go back to your room.
We're getting him help.

get to your room, now!

Fbi, freeze!

Hands up!

Out of the car!

All right,
anything off the drive

relating to singapore?

That's where zhai's office is.

Anything in
malay, tamil, chinese?

Anything about zhai himself?

I thought you said you
knew this guy.

Why don't you just call him?

Because he isn't gonna just
tell me where it is.

The call has to come
from my brother.

What do you got?

Is that malay?
That's not malay.

It's not malay.
Look who it is.

that's not.

give me the key.

I don't know what's going on
with you...

But don't go near him again.

I'm sorry, I am.
I really am.

I didn't know
she was gonna do that.

I didn't know
she was capable of it.

Look, I know you want this, and
I know why you need it to work.

And you deserve more, you do.

You certainly deserve more
than you got when I was around,

but this is not it.

This thing,
it can't be trusted,

and it can't be harnessed.

It wants one thing,

and there's no room
for you, or me, or anyone.

I promise you.

It's amazing how you can see
everything so clearly

even though you--
you know what I think?

I think that you'd rather

have someone come in here
and shoot my brains out

than just see me succeed.

That's not true.

I'm trying to keep you
from making a mistake

that is going
to kill millions of people.

I need you to call bill zhai.

Go to hell.

Dad? Dad?

was the transaction
in singapore dollars?

Yeah, and converted
from chinese yuan right there.

What is that?

It's a long and winding road

of chinese yuan
to singapore dollars

via bitcoin, ethereum,
all these cryptocurrencies.

Money laundering.

Somebody doesn't want
that money traced.

Here, cross-reference it
with pla 43910.

What's pla?
-People's liberation army.

But that unit is china's
cyber intelligence division.

Whoa.

and bill zhai's on the payroll.

All right, give me that.

-you all right?
-Yeah.

what, are you gonna
put a gun in my mouth now?

Bill zhai works
for the chinese government.

we looked at everything
he's got,

including
his newest server farm,

which, as impressive as it is,

doesn't even come close
to fitting this thing's needs.

The architecture
is just too traditional,

but you must've seen that,
right?

I mean someone saw that

and realized
it didn't make sense.

But you just wanted to believe
everything it was selling you.

this is research it did on zhai
and a lot of other people.

It chose him, not you.

you were just a way
to get to him.

So it was never going
to singapore?

No.

It was going to china.

To take over a big government
server farm.

so, ted, do you really want
to hand over

the world's first
super-intelligent ai

to the chinese army?

Yeah, I got it.

No problem.

hey, how--how is deborah?
Are you still at the hospital?

Deborah's fine.
Listen to me.

Are they right near you?

Sarina:
Uh, yeah.

Don't let the server get
on the plane.

What?

Zhai and his team, they may not
be who they say they are.

They might be working
for the chinese government.

It's already on the plane.

Well, get it off.

Keep them there.
Do whatever you have to.

You've gotta be kidding me.

Listen, be careful.

These people,
they might be dangerous.

Which airport?

hey, um, something's not right.

We need to get that server
off the plane.

can we speak for a second?

I'm sorry for the delay, but
we're just about ready to go.

Yeah, I'm afraid there's been
some miscommunication.

What's in that box
isn't the right...

Item.

Not the right item?

That's right.
Yeah, we're gonna need it back.

I'm really sorry.

There's--there's been a lot of
change at the company recently

and I think some wires must've
gotten crossed somewhere.

I'm sorry,
but we can't return it.

Well, you can take it off,
just like you put it on.

If you want to alter
the arrangement,

you'll have to speak
with mr. Zhai.

Hey, you don't understand.
This is a mistake.

I'm sorry,

but I'm not authorized to
deviate from my instructions.

what--what are you doing?

You have to return
our property!

-I'm gonna need those rounds.
-What?

The bullets in your pocket.
I'm gonna need them.

-What for?
-Just in case.

In case what, someone doesn't
answer a question

the way you want them to?

At least I got us
the answer that we needed.

By putting a gun to his head.
You could've killed him.

Well, I didn't.

Yeah, well, it was just dumb
luck you didn't--

well,
he's still alive, isn't he?

-What the hell happened to you?
-I lost it!

Okay?

look,

let's both just try
and keep it together here.

Hey, it's pointless
for you to have the bullets

and for me to have the gun.

well, if you had that gun,
what do you need this one for?

I told you, just in case.

If that's the chinese army,
they might not be so friendly.

right.

How come I get
the crappy gun?

there it is.
They're still here.

wait a minute.

Put the gun down!

What the hell?

what are your people
doing here?

Some fbi, but I think
all the others are nsa.

this is called removing
evidence from a crime scene.

Yeah, well,
until this thing is done,

get used to being
on the wrong side of right.

Okay, here it is.

Apparently,
the shooter was released

from calipatria state pen
a year ago.

How much did you say
he got paid, again?

We just found 100,000 bucks

of freshly-mined cryptocurrency
on his phone.

But why?

Why would it hire some ex-con
to kill this reporter?

The answer has to be
in his notes. Somewhere.

The only reason for the nsa

is that zhai was wanted
for espionage.

The ai would know that.

It would know everything
these guys are investigating.

Ben and gina
just sent all this over.

This is all the research
that the reporter was doing.

The hell is this place?

I had the same reaction.

Um, but the reporter had
coordinates in his notes,

so I looked it up.

Check it out.

That is a satellite image
taken six months ago.

Anything more recent?

Yeah, this one was taken
a couple days ago.

It's like trying
to find area 51 on google maps.

Well, whatever they were
building, they finished it,

and they obviously didn't want
anyone to see it.

-That's--that's dod.
What?

Look, these vehicles.
Right there.

Wait, so the nsa is part of the
department of defense, right?

Yeah, but with their own set
of rules.

They don't have to worry
about foia requests,

or oversight,
or anything like that.

You know, and I've looked,
and I've looked,

and there is no record
that this place even exists.

It's like some kind
of black site, look.

Well, wait a minute--
that's the schematics

for a server farm.

Right, but I've never seen
them arranged like that before.

Because the design is based on

distributed cognitive
architecture,

which is exactly what
this thing needs.

It never wanted to go to china.

No.

It looks like it wanted to get
caught by the nsa.

We were right about it wanting
a government facility.

We just had the wrong
government.

What does the nsa do when it
impounds something like that

for evidence?

they have strict protocol
to prevent the spread

of any malware,
so they'd isolate it,

airgap it,

and use a containment system
if they had to.

And once it was safely
confined, or...

They think it's
safely confined,

they'd run a digital forensics
on the data inside.

But a fully-loaded
server can't just be extracted,

so they'd have to power it up
and plug it in.

you ever fired a weapon before?

Plenty of times
during training.

This is a little different,
huh?

Yeah... A little.

Hey, let's get some coffee

before we meet
everyone else.

Yeah, read my mind.

Oh, hey, this is my dad.

I took your advice, gave him
the new burner number.

-You mind?
-Oh, no, no. Take your time.

-Uh, what do you want?
-Whatever you're having.

dad?

I got your message.

I was able to confirm
the arrests at the airport.

And the server?

It's been taken to the nsa
black site,

just like you suspected.

Okay, this could be
a good thing, dad.

Do you have people
in the nsa?

No one in position to exploit
this development.

At least not yet.

We'll have to put
something together.

What do I do in the meantime?

Terrence: Continue being
my eyes and ears.

We can't allow anything
to happen to the server.

Not until the ai
is safely under our control.

Dad, are you sure that's even
possible at this stage?

We have to make it possible.

This is the manhattan project
of our era.

Governments and corporations
have been trying to develop

true ai for decades.

That's something we can't
relinquish to a foreign power,

no matter what the cost.

Understood, son?

Understood.

child: What the hell?
