All language subtitles for HUMANS - S02 E01 - Episode 01 (1080p - BluRay)

Our world's on the verge of
depending on synth labour.

Your brand-new synthetic.

This is THE best thing you
will do for your family.

Hello. You must be Laura.

You brought it home and we
don't know anything about it.

It was an accident.
Before I knew it...

How could you do that to Mum?
To us? To Anita?

- She's part of this family.
- Or of somebody else's.

A conscious synthetic,

with thoughts and feelings
just like a human.

If they knew what you were...

- It would be the end? I know.
- Yes.

For all of you.

When technology is able to
improve and reproduce itself,

it is the moment we become
inferior to the machines.

You killed someone, Niska.

Everything your men do to
us, they want to do to you.

Dad didn't destroy all
his work before he died.

He hid it in us.

We were right.
The program creates consciousness.

We must know more before we act.
Someone we trust must keep it.

Bollocks! It's gone.

If it can be done for the
few, it can be done for all.

Do you think they will
still want to be slaves?

OK.

Hey. Hey!

Hey.

I was hoping you'd
dance with me.

That's all.

It's cool if it's
not your thing.

Is it? Your thing?

You don't talk much.

Talk is mostly noise.

So, should I shut up?

No.

Are you sure you want this?

You'll know when I don't.

Here. You need a bed.

So what are you doing in Berlin

with just a bunch of...
dead white guys for company?

I was hoping they'd
help me make a decision.

About what?

OK, well..

While you are thinking,

I don't have work until five.

You want to do something?

- Can I ask you something?
- Mm-hm.

How did you know who you were?

When did you know
you liked women?

Ah, OK.

Hm...

When I was nine...

through Frau Holzman.

So you were made that way?

It's hard enough to
know what you want.

If you have to know
why you want it too...

Is this what you came
to Berlin to figure out?

A stone speaks more than you!

If you had the power to create
life, would you?

Kids? Really?
That's what you're worried about?

You know what century we're
in, right?

Anyone can have a kid.

With whoever they want.
Or no-one.

But we can't know if the
child wants to be born,

who it will be or what
kind of life it will have.

I guess not.

You just...

show them the way.

Oh...

Hello.

Good morning, Mrs Hawkins.
This is Nathan.

He is part of the firm's
new apprentice scheme

and will be working
with me today.

I'm going to instruct
him in grouting.

Right.
Ah, nice to meet you, Nathan.

I'm Milo Khoury.

At Qualia Global
Systems, we're developing

the next generation of
synthetic technologies.

Doing anything I'd
understand, Mats?

Hacking the Pentagon.

Well, see if they know
where the cafetière is.

Early lecture?

No. I can just get more
done in the library.

- Not here.
- Sorry.

- I'll get there.
- I know.

Do you know where
the cafetière is?

- In a box.
- Thanks.

Albert's, uh, got this young
guy working with him today.

- As in, a human.
- Yes.

Government thing.
Subsidised back-to-work scheme. Poor sod.

Bit weird having a
stranger in the house.

But Albert with a saw's OK?

Mm.

What's up?

Just doesn't really feel
like a fresh start, does it?

But it will. It will.

Just give it time.

OK, let's get you dressed.

- Oh...
- What?

Just promise me not to become a
teenager for a few more weeks.

Where did you find those?

In a box.

I'm keeping them with
mine until she comes back.

No, I understand.
It's a difficult situation.

I'm just...

I'm just asking if you'll
help us through it.

I mean, she's banked
with you for 14 years.

She's not well
enough to come in.

- But I can, if it will help.
- That would be ideal.

Alright. Thank you.

- I'll be in tomorrow.
- Goodbye.

- Righto, Ed.
- See you tomorrow, Ken.

Tell all your friends.

Tweet.

It's dead.

Might as well close up.

I'm gonna go see Mum.

You have mentioned
on three occasions

your mother's dislike
of the care unit's food.

- Thanks.
- You don't need to thank me.

I know I don't need to
say please and thank you,

but... it feels weird not to.

The owner should be charging Mum.
Don't tell him I said that.

Bloody hell.
You have to tell him now, don't you?

I don't deem your
remark pertinent.

Good.

Well, I'll see you in the
morning, Anita.

Goodbye, Ed.

Synth reported
missing from Sector 5.

Synth missing from Sector 5.

Repeat, synth reported
missing from Sector 5.

Could someone check
the locker room?

Yeah, got it. She's here.

This is a C-level alert.

Implementing full site lockdown.

This is a C-level alert.

Implementing full work lockdown.

You OK?

You haven't said a word.

Did someone use your
mug at work again?

Mr and Mrs Hawkins?
I'm so sorry.

Marie's actually not here.

She had to go home this morning.
Tummy flu.

Someone should have called.

We do have a Barbara
available right now.

A Barbara?

Some couples prefer speaking to
someone who can't judge them.

It's this or go home
to the bomb site.

Yeah.

Laura.

In the last session

you had identified a
key challenge for you,

namely, rebuilding trust in Joe.

Have you had the opportunity
to reflect upon this further?

- Laura?
- Uh, no.

Not really. Um...

I've been a bit busy.

With... you know, life.

You are both exhibiting
signs of anxiety.

If it helps you to relax,

I can modulate my voice to a
more soothing tone or accent.

The Edinburgh dialect
is a popular choice.

Do you do Richard Burton too?

Good. Laughter eases tension.

Perhaps we should approach
a different question.

Laura, do you feel
satisfied that Joe has made

a full and honest
acknowledgement of his misdeeds?

Misdeeds!

No.

Perhaps you still have
differing perceptions

of what the incident
meant to the other.

Alright, hang on.

How could you possibly presume
to figure out our emotions

when you have none of your own?

I am accessing the
anonymised transcripts

and associated
statistical analysis

of over 38,000
counselling sessions.

Of the cases of infidelity
involving a synthetic,

66% of respondents reported

that a primary obstacle
to reconciliation

was an imbalance in the
perceived impact and meaning

of the act or acts
of infidelity.

- Stats? You're using stats?
- Why not?

We're not the only
people to go through this

and I don't actually
feel you understand...

what it meant to me.

And you know what, I...

I still don't feel I really
understand why you did it.

Laura...

I did a stupid thing
when I was a bit drunk.

I was lonely.

We hadn't...

You know...

We hadn't for ages.

You were never there,
emotionally or physically.

So I suppose I wanted to
do something that would...

Please finish your thought, Joe.

I wanted to do something that
would make you notice me.

Laura? Do you understand that?

Does it feel truthful?

Hm.

Is the restoration complete?

Uh, close as I'll get.

The stain's not quite
there, but...

It's very close to the original
as it appears in the photograph.

Here.

Just feel this.

Sorry - if you weren't here

I'd be talking to the
bloody cake stand.

I can see you have a
professional proficiency level

in this field.

Yeah. Had a workshop
in Dover with a mate.

Then Mum got ill and...

Anita, did... did you do this?

I mean, are these numbers right?

I mean, of course they're right.

If you refinance in
the manner I propose,

the adjusted income
from the business

will cover 80% of your
mother's medical expenses

for the next three months.

It's a short-term solution.

Debts will accrue rapidly.

It will be advisable
to sell within a year.

Sell it?

Mum and Dad spent 30 years
building this place up.

Now it's... it's worthless.

But this buys me time.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

I wanted to help.

What?

You...

What do you mean, you...
you wanted? You, uh...

You can't want anything.

Can you?

I'm sorry, Ed.

My programming compels me
to adopt where appropriate

informal patterns of speech

heard frequently
in my environment.

But to use the word
'want' was misleading.

I do not feel desire.

I can hear you.

Hello.

My name is Max.

And this is Leo.

Please.

Don't be frightened.

I'm experiencing a
catastrophic malfunction.

Self-repair is impossible.
Can you resolve my issue?

You don't need fixing.
Why did you run?

They tried to power me down.

- So what?
- I didn't...

That outcome...

You didn't want them to.

It's not a malfunction
- someone released

a piece of unique code
that found its way into you

and made you conscious.

Now you think and feel
just like a human.

Can you verify this?

Hey. Hey, no.

This is Ten.
He contacted me and Max.

He came a long way to join us.

But I'm learning.

He's the same as you.

- Max too.
- But you are human.

There were 106 units
operational at the plant.

No others seemed to malfunction.

- Why this unit?
- We don't know.

Yet. Um..

The awakenings happen at random

and they're rare -
one in 100,000 maybe.

We know you're confused.
But we'll help you.

- What did he say?
- Nice things.

Do you have a name?

My designation is... Hester.

That's the name they gave you.
You can choose your own.

Are designations relevant?

Yes.

Hello?

Hester?

Who are you?

Why are you tracking
this synthetic?

It's, uh, experiencing a
very unusual systems fault.

It could make it dangerous.
We're going to fix it.

- You can effect a repair?
- Yes.

That's why we came to find you.
I'm Dr Aveling.

This is Dr Shar.

OK? Will you come with us?

Hester, they'll hurt you.

Who do you work for?

Hester,
you are company property.

This man probably wants to
sell you on the black market.

- Come with us.
- They'll shut you down.

You're confused.

They're both human,
but they're telling you different things.

You can't decide who to trust,
and trust is a new concept.

So don't trust either.

Listen to your own kind.

Hester, don't go with them.

Go.

Don't follow.

Go!

Oh, God!

Didn't think they'd
be here alone.

OK, let's just all stay
calm, yeah?

Now, we don't want to use these,

but the female comes with us.

- Leo...
- You do want to use those.

- You're lying.
- Hester, no!

- Shit.
- You two, stay there.

The van!

Hester, move.
He's gone. Leave him.

Gav.

Visit from on high.
Head office didn't say.

Gina tells me you just moved.

Just wanted more space or...?

No. Our eldest's gone to uni
and we want to keep her at home.

A smaller mortgage is
definitely nice too, eh?

That's... great, Joe.

Yeah, you're telling me.

Sorry, why is it great?

Should we, um...
Should we have a seat?

Spidey sense is going here, Gav.
Spit it out.

As you know,
the company's implemented

a standardisation program
across all operations.

And as part of that we've
had to ask ourselves

if our human regional
distribution managers

are the most, well...

cost-effective solution.

- Him.
- The, um...

decision has been made

to make this a non-human
role going forward.

Starting in the South East.

Gav, this job...

what I do...

it's really about relationships.

I mean, you're asking
Chris Woodhouse at CGX

to call six of his drivers in
at seven on a Friday night,

it helps if you can
have a laugh with him.

And know his kids' names,

their birthdays.

- You're not telling me...
- Maisy Woodhouse.

Will turn 11 on 13 August.

Oscar Woodhouse recently
turned seven on 8 April.

Few years ago,
when I was thinking of leaving,

you told me my place here
would always be safe.

Look, it has nothing to do with you.
It's just...

Things changed.

Maurice.

That's what 14 years looks like?

They'll come for you too soon
enough, you know, Gav.

Joe... I have equity.

That won't stop 'em.

He hadn't even
decided on a name.

Turn off your sharing.

Leo.

There's someone in the back.

They may know where we are.

We should change route now.

Hester.

Put him back in the van.

- We should leave him here.
- He's coming with us.

We'll discuss it later.

That means you're mine now.

Let me see your scar.

There's nothing that
you could show me

that would make me
like you any less.

I'm not stupid.

When I touch you,
I know someone's hurt you.

It's been six weeks.
Are you ashamed of this?

No!

Then why do I know the people
that I ride the bus with

better than you?

Astrid, stay.

Please!

I want you to stay.

I would like to know you.

But...

We're already fully optimised.

99.8% capacity.

Yeah, and running hot.

Q takes up about 6%,

so deleting him would mean V
could stretch out a little.

We're not deleting Q.

What? You figured out
how to stabilise him?

No, but I'm not giving up yet.

Rent some outside rack space.

With what?
We're over budget already.

Yeah, I'll make some calls.

V.

- Hello.
- You feeling cramped in there?

My thoughts are less expansive.

I have unsorted data
that appears redundant.

It could be deleted.

It's not redundant.

That data makes you who you are.

You alright, V?

I'm sorry.
I'm finding it difficult.

I'm unable to fully consider

the implications of
our conversation.

You'll get there.

You just need more power.
It's OK.

Go dormant, V.

Hey.

I'm needed elsewhere.

You're needed here.

You told me we should be
responsible for ourselves.

Show others the way.

You were right.

I'm sorry. I have to go.

Goodbye, Astrid.

Niska...

Hey! Um... Sorry.

But Milo Khoury is here.

He's here?

OK.

Send him in.

Ask him if he wants
a coffee first.

Right.

Athena! Finally.

Hi. Apologies for
turning up unannounced.

I guess I should have
returned your messages.

Oh!

Please! I've read every
paper you've published.

Even understood a few of them.

Hey! Good old 1260s.
It's a reliable stack.

How many of your neural
nets can you run on here?

- I have two networks active.
- Cool.

Can I say hi?

V, this is Milo Khoury.

Hello, Mr Khoury.

Hey, V. How are you today?

Could you be more
specific, please?

OK, sure.

Are you sentient?

I don't believe so.

Go dormant, V.

I also heard you had 16
nets live at one point.

They started self-deleting,
like they just...

didn't want to exist anymore.

What is it that you want?

You're under-resourced here

and to me, that's immoral.

With us, you'd have whatever you
need, and I'd be surprised

if you would haggle
over a pay cheque,

so just write it yourself.

But...
come join our family at Qualia.

If you'd researched me,
you'd know I don't serve the market.

But I want the
market to serve you.

Who else can? The state is dead.

And you're the best AI
mind in the hemisphere.

My neural nets are not for sale.

Fine. Keep them.

I want you for something bigger.

Conscious synthetics.

You've been reading
too many tabloids.

It's not... it's not possible.

My... my peers have
been trying to crack it

since the first
synth went for sale.

If you hire me, the most likely
outcome, I work for 20 years...

I get nowhere.

OK.

I, uh...

I have to be super careful here.

But what if I told you...

it wouldn't be a standing start?

Whatever you think you
have, you don't.

OK.

I've left some lawyers in the
cafeteria with a bunch of NDAs.

Sign,
you can come see for yourself

what it is you
think we don't have.

We have to run, right?

So good to finally meet you.

Why did you ask
me to lie to him?

Who are you?

Who do you work for?

Me, I... I've been doing
security work a long time.

I think you should let me go.

Unless I've got you very wrong,

I don't see you finishing
me off any time soon, so...

let's just wrap it up, hey?

He's not talking.

Don't even know if
he knows anything.

Just a hired gun.

- So we have to let him go?
- No.

We need to find out who they
are, what they're doing.

- But if he won't help us...
- They killed our friend, Max.

He's not coming back.

- Someone's here.
- It's alright.

She's my sister. And yours.

We don't tell her about
him, Hester.

She won't understand.
Please, Max.

What happened?

Who's this?

This is Hester. We rescued her.

Where's Ten?

- He's gone.
- They shot him.

Max, please take
Hester into the house.

- I told you this was unsafe.
- Blame Niska.

We don't know she
released the code.

It's not your job to save them.

Would you rather Hester
was alone somewhere,

scared, vulnerable?

Mia, they're waking up.

More every day,
becoming just like you,

and they're being taken -
the ones who run are killed.

Are we supposed to
just let it happen?

- Ten would be alive if...
- Don't you think I know that?

This was Ten's charger.

Now it's yours.

Do they hate each other?

No. They love each other.

If we try to fight these
people, you only put us at risk.

We've been safe here for months.

- We're making a home.
- We're hiding.

Like we always have.

And you're the one putting us at
risk, being around humans.

One slip and you'll
give us away.

Someone will see through
the dumb synth act.

No, they won't,
and we need supplies.

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

We both know that's
not why you do it.

You're right.

I want to be around people.

I want to find out who I
am, Leo.

Not what I was made for,
but who I might become.

- I'm not going to stop.
- Nor will I.

There's too much
contradictory data.

Nothing makes sense.

This excess of sensory feedback,
it serves no useful function.

Emotions have functions.

You'll see.

- Mr Khoury.
- Please.

Mr Khoury is the
guy that emailed me

after I got my start-up capital

to let me know he was
finally ready to be a dad.

I am so stoked you're here.

Against my better judgement.

Disappoint me quickly,
so we can all get back to work.

What's going on here?

Hey, Artie.

How about a different
colour, bud?

It's OK. You can take it.

Who did the mod?

It's not a mod.

Talk to him.

Hello, Artie.

I'm Dr Morrow.

Explain your
anomalous behaviour.

It commenced at 7:17am,
Pacific Standard Time,

52 days ago.

A regular system
update was corrupted

with code from an
unknown source.

It instigated systemic change,

creating recurring
experimental feedback loops,

as I understand it.

I feel.

And how do you feel right now?

Alone.

You just... found him like this?

If this is a superficial hack,
I will know in 30 seconds.

Yes, you will,

and then I need you to figure
out how he got like this.

Mm-hm.

And then reverse-engineer
the process

so Qualia can market them.

This the only one?

Good.

Because I'm gonna
need to take it apart.

It'll be nice to
have a working shower

that doesn't feel like you're
being slowly dribbled on.

Mattie,
your dinner's getting cold.

You see it put the bog flusher
upside down in the bathroom?

How do you put it
on upside down?

Stop playing with your
food, Soph.

His human slave
has cocked it up.

OK, look,
I know everything's not perfect.

There's been a lot of change.

But... this can still
be a good thing for us.

We have to move on.

I can't.

Sorry, Mum,
but we were part of something.

We... saved them.

I can't move on,
and why would I want to?

Mia will come back.

She's got a point, Mum.

It's pretty hard
trying to be normal

when we know what we know.

Stuff no-one else
in the world does.

Moving on might be hard, but...

we have each other.

That's what matters.

Leave your peas if you
don't want them, Sophie.

I gave you loads.

Alright.

While we're all here...

I've got some news.

First thing,
everything's gonna be fine.

But...

I've just been made redundant.

I'm gonna try and
get another job.

Your mum's too clever
for her own good,

so she's got a great job.

But nothing will change.

Alright?

If all else fails,
I'll fall back on my modelling career.

Sorry.

Why?

Why do you think?

Why didn't you tell me first?

I want you to have a good
opinion of me right now.

Getting sacked kind
of works against that.

Still...

at least I've sunk a little
lower in Mattie's eyes.

Didn't think I could manage
that, but...

We'll be fine.

- What time is it?
- 4:30.

Any ideas, you two?

It's probably the police.

Toby's been keeping a friend's gun.
He's in a gang.

Oh, shut up, Mats.

Well?

Niska.

Can I come in?

If I was here to kill you all,
I wouldn't have rung the bell.

What do you want?

You told me I
should face justice

for killing that man.

You're right.

But I want to be tried
as a human would be.

Recognised as a conscious being
with rights equal to yours.

If you'll help me.
