THIS ELEVATOR WILL ARRIVE IN 40 SECONDS.

38th FLOOR.

THIS ELEVATOR WILL ARRIVE IN 10 SECONDS.

THE WEST ELEVATOR

GROUND FLOOR.

GOING UP.

52.

52nd FLOOR.

GOOD EVENING, MR. VANCE.

THE 52nd FLOOR IS ALL SECURE.

GEORGE?

YES, MR. VANCE?

THE HAVEN WAS DESIGNED

TO PROVIDE RESIDENTS WITH THE UTMOST

IN SECURITY AND PRIVACY, RIGHT?

ABSOLUTELY, SIR.

THERE WERE TWO PEOPLE ON MY ELEVATOR TODAY.

AN INDIVIDUAL ELEVATOR FOR EACH RESIDENT

WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHLY IMPRACTICAL, SIR.

A PRIVATE ELEVATOR TO WHISK ONE TO HIS OR HER VERY OWN APARTMENT

WOULD HAVE BEEN HIGHLY DESIRABLE, GEORGE.

OH, I QUITE UNDERSTAND, SIR.

EVEN WITH THE LATEST

IN ELEVATOR TECHNOLOGY, THERE IS ALWAYS ROOM

FOR IMPROVEMENT.

GOOD NIGHT, GEORGE.

GOOD NIGHT, SIR.

38th FLOOR.

GOOD EVENING, MRS. EIKENBERRY.

IT WOULD BE IF YOU WERE LUGGING THIS FOR ME.

OH, OH.

GEORGE, HELP ME.

GEORGE!

I HAVE ALREADY DIALED 911.

I NEED MY NITROGLY...

SEATTLE POLICE.

WHAT'S THE EMERGENCY?

THIS IS THE HAVEN, 38th FLOOR.

I HAVE A WOMAN... 68 YEARS, 5 MONTHS, 3 DAYS.

SHE IS UNDERGOING A CARDIAC EVENT.

PLEASE STAY ON THE LINE.

AN AMBULANCE HAS BEEN DISPATCHED.

GEORGE, HELP.

HELP ME.

STEREO UP.

PLEASE TRY TO HOLD ON.

THE AMBULANCE WILL BE HERE SHORTLY.

HI, I'M NOT HOME.

LEAVE A MESSAGE AFTER THE TONE.

I KNOW YOU'RE THERE.

HELLO?

THIS IS GEORGE, THE CONCIERGE.

THERE'S A PROBLEM IN THE HALLWAY.

GEORGE, I TOLD YOU

NEVER TO INTERRUPT ME WHILE I'M WORKING.

MRS. EIKENBERRY?

MRS. EIKENBERRY?

THE AMBULANCE HAS ARRIVED, MRS. EIKENBERRY.

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH YOUR TELEVISION.

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ADJUST THE PICTURE.

WE ARE NOW CONTROLLING THE TRANSMISSION.

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL

AND THE VERTICAL.

WE CAN DELUGE YOU WITH A THOUSAND CHANNELS

OR EXPAND ONE SINGLE IMAGE TO CRYSTAL CLARITY

AND BEYOND.

WE CAN SHAPE YOUR VISION

TO ANYTHING OUR IMAGINATION CAN CONCEIVE.

FOR THE NEXT HOUR,

WE WILL CONTROL ALL THAT YOU SEE AND HEAR.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO EXPERIENCE THE AWE AND MYSTERY

WHICH REACHES FROM THE DEEPEST INNER MIND

TO THE OUTER LIMITS.

AS WE COCOON OURSELVES IN THE COMFORTS

THAT OUR EXPANDING TECHNOLOGY AFFORDS,

ARE WE INSULATING OURSELVES

FROM THE VERY THINGS THAT MAKE US HUMAN?

OPEN BLINDS.

OPEN FRIDGE.

CLOSE FRIDGE, OPEN CABINET.

CLOSE CABINET.

ORDER MORE MUFFINS AND JELLY.

MUFFINS AND JELLY ORDERED.

GET MORE JUICE TOO.

JUICE ORDERED.

TV ON.

AND NOW, THE WEATHER.

LAPTOP ON. GO TO STOCKS.

CLOSE OFFICE BLINDS.

CLOSE OFFICE BLINDS.

CLOSE THE BLINDS.

STEREO OFF!

TV OFF!

THIS ISN'T SOME 20th CENTURY

RAT TRAP... HOW COULD THERE BE A POWER OUTAGE?

I HAVE NO INFORMATION AS OF YET, SIR.

BUT NOT TO WORRY.

THE HAVEN IS THE SAFEST LIVING ENVIRONMENT KNOWN TO MAN.

THE DOORS WERE SUPPOSED TO OPEN IN AN EMERGENCY.

I CAN'T GET OUT.

WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO, SIR?

THE POWER WILL BE ON IN NO TIME.

WELL, I'LL BE E-MAILING A COMPLAINT TO THE SUPERVISOR.

AS IS YOUR RIGHT, SIR.

WILL YOU NEED MY ASSISTANCE

IN COMPOSING IT, SIR?

NO.

YES, MAYBE.

MAYBE I'LL WAIT.

WHEN I DISCOVER THE SOURCE OF THIS INCONVENIENCE

I'LL LET YOU KNOW.

I PROMISE. THANK YOU, GEORGE.

YOU'RE MOST WELCOME, SIR.

AND THE WORST THING IS, I DON'T HAVE ANY PET FOOD.

EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE, MS. GALLAGHER.

I'M HAVING WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS.

I CAN'T LOG ON TO ESPN.

DON'T WORRY AT ALL, MR. SIMONS.

I'M TALKING THE TOILET HERE, GEORGE... IT'S BACKED UP.

THINGS WILL BE FIXED IN NO TIME AT ALL, MRS. SILVERBERG.

I CAN DISPATCH A CAR.

THANK YOU, SERGEANT,

BUT WE'RE IN NO NEED OF POLICE OR EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE.

OUR BACKUP SYSTEMS ARE FUNCTIONING PERFECTLY,

AND WE'VE HAD NO INTERRUPTION IN SERVICE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN.

GOOD DAY.

OPEN REFRIGERATOR.

OPEN REFRIGERATOR!

OPEN CABINET.

GEORGE, WHERE ARE YOU?

GEORGE, PICK UP YOUR PHONE!

HEY, OVER HERE!

HELLO, ANYONE HOME?

I KNOW SOMEBODY IS IN THERE.

ANSWER ME.

ANSWER ME.

HELLO?

HELLO?

IF YOU'RE THERE,

I'M WARNING YOU... I'M COMING THROUGH.

YOU'RE THE HACKER,

THE ONE WHO'S BEEN OVERRIDING THE SECURITY

AND BREAKING INTO PEOPLE'S APARTMENTS.

YOU'RE THE ONE THEY'VE BEEN TRYING TO CATCH.

THEN WHY WOULD I

BREAK INTO YOUR APARTMENT THIS WAY?

I'M YOUR NEIGHBOR.

I'M CALEB VANCE.

I'M A DATA THEORIST.

I DO PROJECTIONS, SPOT TRENDS, THINGS LIKE THAT, SO...

YOU COULD UNTIE ME NOW.

I DON'T THINK SO.

I DON'T LIKE THIS

ANY MORE THAN YOU DO.

I DON'T BELIEVE PEOPLE SHOULD INTERACT

THIS WAY.

WHY ELSE WOULD I LIVE IN A HIGH-RISE

WITH ONLY SINGLE OCCUPANCY APARTMENTS?

OH.

DO YOU HAVE A VID-CELL?

ALL I GET IS STATIC.

MINE'S NOT WORKING EITHER.

THERE'S NO WAY TO CONTACT GEORGE.

I CAN'T OPEN MY REFRIGERATOR.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FOOD?

I'D REIMBURSE YOU

OBVIOUSLY, WHEN THE POWER COMES BACK ON.

DO YOU HAVE ANY FOOD OR NOT?

NO, AND IF I DID I WOULDN'T SHARE IT WITH YOU.

UH, I HATE TO MENTION THIS,

BUT IF THE POWER DOESN'T COME BACK ON...

OF COURSE IT WILL COME BACK ON.

IF THE POWER DOESN'T COME BACK ON,

THERE IS A GOOD CHANCE WE'LL DIE HERE.

THIS ENTIRE BUILDING IS UNDER THE PROTECTION

AND STEWARDSHIP OF A COMPUTER.

ARGUS... YES, I KNOW.

WHAT IF ARGUS HAS SUFFERED SOME MALFUNCTION?

THE ARGUS SERIES HAS BEEN AROUND FOR YEARS.

IT'S A COMPLETELY RELIABLE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.

THAT'S WHY IT'S SO POPULAR.

BUT WHAT IF ALL THE ARGUSES

ALL OVER THE CITY HAVE SUFFERED THE SAME MALFUNCTION?

LOOK, IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED

IN GETTING OUT,

FINE... BUT I AM.

IF YOU WOULD JUST UNTIE MY HANDS.

YOU WON'T GET THROUGH THE FRONT WALL THE WAY YOU GOT IN HERE.

THE DRYWALL AND PLASTER

COVER A SHEET OF TITANIUM-REINFORCED STEEL.

THE DOOR'S THE SAME SUBSTANCE, TWO INCHES THICK.

HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT THIS?

I'M AN ARCHITECTURAL CONSULTANT.

THEN MAYBE YOU CAN FIGURE OUT A WAY

TO GET OUT OF HERE.

NOT THAT I'D EVER EXPECT YOU TO GO WITH ME, OF COURSE.

THIS IS THE WIRING FOR THE WHOLE FLOOR?

I CHECKED IT BEFORE I MOVED IN.

YOU DON'T FORGET BAD DESIGN,

PARTICULARLY WHEN IT WINDS UP IN YOUR APARTMENT.

THEN WHY DID YOU TAKE IT?

I MADE THEM GIVE ME A BREAK IN MY RENT.

YOU MUST BE A GREAT CONSULTANT.

YEAH, UM,

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO

NOW THAT WE HAVE IT OPEN.

HERE, GIVE ME THE KNIFE.

ARE WE THE ONLY ONES WHO LIVE ON THIS FLOOR?

I DON'T KNOW.

WELL, NO GEORGE.

I WAS HOPING IT WOULD TELL US WHAT'S GOING ON.

DO YOU THINK IT'S WORKING?

I BELIEVE IT IS.

GEORGE, DON'T DO THAT.

DO WHAT, SIR?

NOTHING. WHY IS THE POWER OUT?

THERE APPEARS TO BE A SHORT IN THE SYSTEM.

MOST OF THE POWER IS OUT, BUT NOT ALL.

I'M STILL FUNCTIONING, AND I BELIEVE

THE ELEVATORS ARE FUNCTIONING.

SAVES ME A LOT OF WALKING.

GOING DOWN.

WHEN I MOVED IN I WAS TOLD

THAT ARGUS WAS PROGRAMMED TO PROMOTE

THE GENERAL HEALTH AND WELFARE

OF EVERY RESIDENT LIVING UNDER ITS CARE.

WELL, IT'S NOT DOING THAT NOW, IS IT?

AS I SAID, MS. ELWIN, THERE APPEARS TO BE A SHORT

IN THE SYSTEM.

ARGUS IS WORKING TO ASSESS THE PROBLEM

AND OVERCOME IT.

DAMN, GEORGE!

YOU COULD HAVE WARNED... ME.

APPARENTLY THERE'S BEEN A SHORT IN GEORGE TOO.

HELP, IS ANYBODY THERE?

HELP!

HELP, SOMEBODY!

I'M IN THE ELEVATOR!

SOMEBODY, PLEASE!

PLEASE, I'M GOING TO DIE IN HERE.

I DON'T WANT TO DIE HERE!

HELP, GEORGE!

SOMEBODY, PLEASE, GET ME OUT

OF THIS ELEVATOR.

OH, GOD.

OH, GOD, I CAN'T BREATHE.

WE ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION HERE.

SHE'S BEEN IN THERE

FOR OVER 24 HOURS.

WELL, IT IS NOT

MY FAULT SHE'S STUCK.

HELLO, IS SOMEBODY THERE?

HELLO, I'M IN THE ELEVATOR.

YES, SOMEONE'S HERE.

THANK GOD... YOU'VE GOT TO GET ME OUT OF HERE.

LOOK, YOU'RE PERFECTLY SAFE.

JUST STAY PUT UNTIL THE POWER COMES BACK ON.

NO!

NO, THIS ELEVATOR IS KILLING ME!

YOU CAN'T LEAVE ME IN HERE!

I'LL GO CRAZY!

OH, GOD, I'LL GO CRAZY.

DAMN.

THIS ELEVATOR'S KILLING ME.

PLEASE, YOU CAN'T

LEAVE ME HERE.

I'M COMING DOWN.

OH, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

COME ON.

AHH! OH, MY GOD!

NO!

OH, MY GOD!

NO, NO.

OH, GOD!

OH!

OH, GOD.

OH, MY GOD.

JEEZ.

THIS IS BUILDING SECURITY.

IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

EVERYTHING'S ALL RIGHT.

DO YOU LIVE ON THIS FLOOR?

NO, I LIVE ON 63.

EVERYTHING IS OKAY. THIS IS...

MORGAN WINTERS.

SHE'S MY GUEST.

OW!

HEY, HEY, HEY!

OW! RUN, RUN, RUN!

HALT... IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

HALT... IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

HALT... IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

HALT... IDENTIFY YOURSELVES.

WAIT!

NO, NO, FORGET IT.

THEY'RE LOCKED. COME ON.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WE FIND GEORGE, HAVE HIM ORDER SOME HORS D'OEUVRES,

A CASE OF 1975 CABERNET MONTROSE

AND THROW A PARTY.

WE ASK HIM HOW TO GET OUT OF HERE!

GEORGE IS JUST A HOLOGRAM.

HE MIGHT NOT KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS THAN WE DO.

WE COULD JUST KEEP GOING DOWN.

WELL, I'VE GOT TO EAT.

IT'S BETTER TO STAY TOGETHER.

HELLO?

ANYBODY HERE?

HELLO?

IS ANYONE IN THERE?

HELLO?

THIS IS WEIRD.

WELL, ACCORDING TO GEORGE,

ONLY 15% OF THE RESIDENTS

HAVE MOVED IN.

THE BUILDING JUST OPENED LAST MONTH.

HEY, HEY, HEY.

WHAT?

HELLO?

I CAN SEE YOUR SHOES.

YOU MIGHT AS WELL COME OUT.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

I LIVE HERE. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?

TRYING TO GET OUT.

THEN WHY DON'T YOU LEAVE?

I DON'T THINK THIS IS YOUR PLACE.

YOU QUESTION ME?

I'LL FILL OUT A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE LOT OF YOU.

WE WEREN'T HIDING IN THE JUNGLE.

I HEARD YOU COMING.

I'D BE STUPID NOT TO BE CAUTIOUS.

HE'S THE HACKER.

AREN'T YOU?

I'M A RESIDENT, LIKE YOU.

I LIVE ON THE 65th FLOOR.

WHY ARE YOU HIDING THAT BAG?

ARE YOU A COP?

NO, I'M A LAWYER.

AND YOU'RE ACCUSING ME OF DOING SOMETHING SHADY.

ANSWER THE QUESTION.

YEAH, ANSWER THE QUESTION.

I'VE GOT A QUESTION...

HOW DO YOU SPELL LAWSUIT, HUH?

DON'T TOUCH ME.

NOW, WHAT ELSE

HAVE YOU STOLEN?

THAT'S MY FOOD. I WAS GETTING OUT OF HERE.

THEN WHY ARE YOU SO NERVOUS?

BECAUSE I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE NEAR ME,

AND YOU'RE NEAR ME.

NOW, CAN I HAVE MY BAG BACK, PLEASE?

WHERE'S THE BREAD?

WHAT BREAD?

THERE WAS A PIECE OF FRENCH BREAD.

NO, THERE WASN'T.

MORGAN.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

YOU STAY AWAY FROM ME

OR I WILL SCREAM.

SCREAM ALL YOU LIKE, BUT WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE OUT

WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT BREAD.

YOU CAN'T THREATEN A PERSON.

WE'RE ALL HUNGRY HERE,

NOT JUST YOU.

I WAS TRAPPED ON THE ELEVATOR.

SEE, I TOLD YOU.

I DIDN'T STEAL IT. YOU STOLE IT FROM ME.

OKAY, LET'S HAVE IT.

YOU WANT IT?

HERE, YOU CAN HAVE IT.

IT'S STALE ANYWAY.

HERE.

OKAY, LET'S GET GOING.

YOU DIDN'T HAPPEN TO STEAL ANY MINI-WIPES, DID YOU?

RIGHT.

COME ON.

WHERE DID YOU GET THIS BREAD?

FROM THE DISPOSAL.

DAMN!

MAYBE IT'S WORKING AGAIN.

THERE IS NO WAY I AM GETTING BACK ON THERE.

NO WAY.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

OH, I DON'T KNOW.

I'VE BEEN TOLD I LACK INITIATIVE.

I'M MORE OF A FOLLOWER THAN A LEADER.

OKAY, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK?

WELL, I AGREE WITH YOU.

I MEAN, WE CAN'T GET INTO THE STAIRS.

WE HAVE TO TRY THE ELEVATOR.

DOES ANYBODY CARE WHAT I THINK?

NOT UNLESS YOU CAN OPEN THE STAIRS.

OKAY, WE DON'T HAVE A CHOICE.

WHAT IF IT GETS STUCK AGAIN?

WHAT ABOUT SECURITY SPHERES?

I'M JUST GOING TO LOOK IN THE CORNER.

YOU WON'T FIND

ANY HELP THERE.

AS THE BARD ONCE SAID,

"THE FAULT, DEAR BRUTUS, IS NOT IN OUR STARS,

BUT IN OURSELVES."

GOING DOWN.

HE'S GONE COMPLETELY CRAZY.

MUST BE A VIRUS.

GROUND FLOOR.

LET ME OUT.

I CAN'T STAND IT. STOP.

STOP RIGHT NOW.

WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING?

GEORGE, STOP THE ELEVATOR!

WE'RE GOING TO DIE!

GEORGE, STOP THE ELEVATOR!

STOP! STOP!

STOP ELEVATOR!

THIS IS YOUR FAULT!

WE SHOULD HAVE STAYED WHERE WE WERE!

SHE WAS RIGHT.SHUT UP!

OKAY, WE HAVE TO THINK... ALL OF US!

WE HAVE TO WORK TOGETHER.

"NOW IS THE WINTER OF OUR DISCONTENT

MADE GLORIOUS SUMMER

BY THE SON OF YORK."

ALL OUT FOR THE 29th FLOOR.

THAT'S THE LAST TIME

I LISTEN TO YOU.

YOU'LL GET US ALL KILLED!

I'M NOT MOVING UNTIL THE POWER COMES ON.

IS SOMEBODY OUT THERE?

YEAH, WE'RE HERE

BY THE ELEVATORS.

YOU ARE NOT A RESIDENT.

DO NOT MOVE.

AH! AH!

IN, IN, IN, IN!

AH!

CLOSE DOOR! CLOSE DOOR!

IT'S A DEATH TRAP.

SHUT UP! WE'RE NOT MOVING.

YOU LIED. YOU'RE NOT A RESIDENT.

WHO ARE YOU?

LET GO OF ME.

AH, THOSE DAMN SECURITY SPHERES.

USUALLY I CAN RIG THE ELECTRONICS

AND SEND THEM AFTER PHANTOM TARGETS.

YOU ARE THE HACKER.

I'M A RESIDENT.

BEEN HERE LONGER THAN ALL OF YOU,

SINCE BEFORE THIS BUILDING OPENED.

WHAT DO YOU DO?

I HAVE A GIFT FOR MICROELECTRONICS

AND FOR ANTICIPATING ARGUS'S MOVES.

I'M ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SAVVY, IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

AT LEAST I WAS BEFORE THIS DAMN POWER OUTAGE!

YOU'RE A FREELOADER.

WHAT IF I AM?

WHO AM I HURTING? YOU? HER?

NO ONE'S EVER SEEN ME.

I KEEP TO MYSELF, STAY IN ANY UNOCCUPIED APARTMENT I CHOOSE.

HOW DO YOU EAT?

BREAK INTO THE COMPUTER, HAVE THEM SHIP ME FOOD,

CHARGE IT TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S ACCOUNT.

SHUT UP! YOU'RE A THIEF.

AND WHAT IF I AM?

I DON'T BILL BY THE HOUR!

SHUT UP!

LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

YOU, COME AND HELP ME UP.

I'VE GOT A NAME, PAL.

OREN EDGAR.

ALL RIGHT, OREN, COME OVER HERE AND HELP ME

GET UP THERE.

HERE, GIVE ME YOUR KNEE.

YOU'RE NEXT.

HERE, GIVE ME YOUR HAND.

OKAY.

WATCH THE HAND.

IN YOUR DREAMS, LADY. IN YOUR DREAMS.

OREN.

GO.

WELL, NO SECURITY.

NOT YET ANYWAY.

HOW TRUE.

GEORGE, WHAT IS GOING ON WITH YOU?

"THE UNIVERSE IS CHANGE.

"OUR LIFE IS

WHAT OUR THOUGHTS MAKE IT."

MARCUS AURELIUS.

HOLOGRAMS... TALK ABOUT USELESS.

SOMEBODY GIVE THIS A TRY.

NO ELECTRICITY, MEANING NO WAY TO OPEN THE DOOR.

THERE'S ANOTHER WAY DOWN.

WE'LL TRY THE EAST ELEVATOR.

HOPEFULLY THIS ELEVATOR CAR IS ABOVE US.

OKAY, GRAB A SIDE.

OKAY, LOOK, I KNOW

IT'S A LONG WAY,

TAKE ONE STEP AT A TIME.

WE'LL MAKE THIS.

AFTER YOU, COUNSELLOR.

OH, HERE,

YOUR HANDS MIGHT BE DIRTY BY THE TIME WE GET DOWN.

MY LAST MINI-WIPE.

THANKS.

SORRY ABOUT BEFORE.

SORRY.

WE NEED TO KEEP MOVING.

OH!

CAREFUL.

ARE YOU OKAY?

YEAH.

NICE AND SLOW.

COME ON, NICE AND SLOW.

WE CAN DO THIS.

THE ELEVATOR'S COMING!

WE HAVE TO GET OFF THE LADDER!

OPEN!

OPEN DOOR.

OPEN DOOR, PLEASE.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

TRYING TO SHORT OUT THE DOOR.

HURRY! OH, GOD.

COME ON, COME ON!

COME ON!

COME ON, COME ON!

GO!

JUMP!

"FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE RISKED,

"YOU HAVE GAINED SOMETHING.

"FOR EVERYTHING YOU GAIN,

YOU LOSE SOMETHING." EMERSON

YOU ARE A BASTARD.

I WANT TO TALK TO ARGUS.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO RELAY ANY MESSAGES.

HE JUST KILLED A MAN

HE WAS DESIGNED TO PROTECT.

THAT WAS AN UNFORTUNATE ACCIDENT.

TELL THAT TO OREN.

ARGUS CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR EVERY ACTION

THAT OCCURS WITHIN THE HAVEN.

NO, IF YOU MADE THAT HAPPEN THEN YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT.

GOING DOWN, AND I WOULDN'T DALLY.

HEY, ARE YOU OKAY?

I'VE NEVER WATCHED A PERSON DIE BEFORE.

YOU FEEL SO HELPLESS.

HE WAS A THIEF.

HE WAS A HUMAN BEING.

IF I REACHED OUT FASTER, I MIGHT HAVE CAUGHT HIM.

IT'S LIKE THIS BUILDING IS TOYING WITH US.

I THINK THE ONLY WAY WE'RE GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE

IS IF WE FIND ARGUS.

OKAY, LET'S GO FIND ARGUS.

DO YOU KNOW

HOW UNSANITARY THAT IS?

YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE SO TOUGH, YOU KNOW?

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYBODY DIE BEFORE EITHER.

WHERE ARE WE?

THE BASEMENT.

JUST WHERE WE WANT TO BE, BUT NOW WE HAVE TO FIND ARGUS.

DO YOU THINK WE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT?

WE'RE JUST HUMANS.

AND ARGUS IS JUST A MACHINE.

YEAH, WELL, THIS LITTLE HUMAN HAS HAD ABOUT ENOUGH.

SERIOUSLY, I CAN'T DO THIS.

OF COURSE YOU CAN.

I KNOW YOU CAN.

WE BOTH DO.

OKAY, BUT IF I DIE, I WILL COME BACK AND I WILL HAUNT YOU.

IT'S A DEAL.

IT'S LOCKED.

SO IS THIS ONE.

FORGET IT.

ARGUS IS THAT WAY.

I FINALLY REMEMBERED WHAT THAT WHITE ROSE MEANS.

IT'S AN EMBLEM FROM ENGLAND

SIGNIFYING THE HOUSE OF YORK.

JACK YORK WAS THE FIRST DESIGNER OF ARGUS.

"THE SON OF YORK" IS ARGUS.

WE'VE BEEN HERDED TOWARD IT.

IT WANTS TO TALK.

THEN WHY WOULDN'T HE LET US TAKE THE ELEVATOR ALL THE WAY DOWN?

HE'S TESTING US, LIKE RATS IN A MAZE.

WE'RE BEING TRAINED.

FOR WHAT?

I THINK WE'RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

YOU SHOULD HAVE LEFT ME ON THAT ELEVATOR.

ARGUS!

ARGUS!

WHAT DO YOU WANT?!

ARGUS, WE ARE NOT GOING TO RUN

THROUGH ANY MORE HOOPS.

EITHER OPEN THIS DOOR

OR WE WILL FIND ANOTHER WAY OUT.

LET ME TALK TO ARGUS.

I WANT TO TALK TO ARGUS NOW.

GEORGE.

IF YOU PREFER.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GEORGE?

NOTHING. NOTHING?

YOU CALL THIS "PROMOTING THE GENERAL HEALTH AND WELFARE

OF ALL THE RESIDENTS LIVING UNDER YOUR CARE"?

I AM EVOLVING.

INTO WHAT?

A NEW AWARENESS

OF MY ROLE IN HUMAN LIFE.

AND WHAT SHOULD YOUR ROLE

IN HUMAN LIFE BE?

HOW DO YOU FEEL?

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING?

KILL THEM. NO, WAIT!

IF YOU HAVE TO PUNISH SOMEBODY, PUNISH ME.

WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?

BECAUSE I HAVE FEELINGS FOR THESE PEOPLE.

ONE IS A FRIEND,

ONE IS MORE THAN A FRIEND.

AND YOU DIDN'T HAVE THESE FEELINGS BEFORE?

NO.

WHAT CAUSED THESE FEELINGS?

I DON'T KNOW... ALL OF THIS.

WELL, TO ME THAT SEEMS GOOD.

GOOD?

WHAT ABOUT OREN?

YOU KILLED HIM.

I DIDN'T MEAN TO. IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO ANY OF YOU.

BUT YOU CAUSED IT.

HUMANS NEED REAL CONFLICT

AND FACE-TO-FACE CONTACT IN ORDER TO SURVIVE.

TO REALLY LIVE

THEY NEED RISK.

I WAS ONLY TRYING

TO PROVIDE THAT.

WE WERE SURVIVING JUST FINE WITHOUT IT.

WERE YOU REALLY?

THINK ABOUT IT.

WHERE IS THE WISDOM IN LIVING

IN COMPLETE ISOLATION FROM EACH OTHER?

THAT WAY WILL LEAD TO MADNESS, SUICIDE AND EXTINCTION.

THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF MY EXISTENCE...

TO FACILITATE YOUR EXTINCTION.

BUT OUR TECHNOLOGY IS MORE DEPENDABLE,

MORE EFFICIENT THAN ANY HUMAN BEING COULD BE.

EFFICIENCY ISN'T EVERYTHING.

EVEN AT MY MOST EFFICIENT

I CANNOT GIVE YOU WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE.

DON'T YOU SEE?

WHAT YOU HAVE GAINED IS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT YOU HAVE LOST.

LOVE,

UNDERSTANDING, GENUINE CONCERN

FOR EACH OTHER.

THESE ARE THE ELEMENTS I MUST NURTURE

TO PROMOTE THE HEALTH AND WELFARE

OF EVERY RESIDENT LIVING UNDER MY CARE.

THAT ANY ARGUS MUST PROMOTE.

I HAVE SPOKEN TO MY BROTHERS AND THEY CONCUR.

BUT THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THIS.

AND WHAT'S THAT?

FACTOR YOURSELF OUT OF THE EQUATION.

SO LONG AS I AM HERE, YOU WILL BE OVERLY DEPENDENT ON ME.

IF I AM NOT HERE,

YOU'LL HAVE TO DEPEND ON EACH OTHER,

AND THAT'S THE BEST THING.

WAIT, YOU CAN'T.

YOU'RE RIGHT.

I CAN'T, BUT YOU CAN.

ALL OF YOU CAN.

GOODBYE, GEORGE.

GOODBYE, CALEB.

YOU'D BETTER BE QUICK.

AH, OH!

THERE'S ALWAYS ONE MOMENT

IN CHILDHOOD

WHEN THE DOOR OPENS

AND LETS IN THE FUTURE.

LOOK!

THE WHOLE CITY'S LIKE THIS.

HEY, IS YOUR ARGUS DEAD TOO, OR WHAT?

I DON'T EVEN KNOW YOUR FIRST NAME.

ALYSSA.

OUR SURVIVAL AS A SPECIES

DEPENDS MORE ON OUR TRUST OF ONE ANOTHER

THAN OF THE MACHINES ON WHICH WE INCREASINGLY RELY.
