00:00:00Oh, it's been a while.
00:00:02You're going to succeed.
00:00:03Are you going to come over tonight?
00:00:06Oh, yeah.
00:00:07Who is she?
00:00:09Oh.
00:00:11It's just my girlfriend.
00:00:13She can watch us.
00:00:14Okay.
00:00:19I think you're forgetting your place, Anne.
00:00:22Remember, if you don't behave yourself,
00:00:24you can still have James terminated.
00:00:30James?
00:00:34Darling.
00:00:37Yes?
00:00:38You'd like me to get you a drink.
00:00:41James?
00:00:43Excuse me.
00:00:44Do I know you?
00:00:49I'm not sure.
00:00:50What's happening?
00:00:52Excuse me, miss.
00:00:53This is very inappropriate.
00:00:55I don't know you.
00:00:56And I already have a girlfriend.
00:00:58Get your hands off of him.
00:01:00Who invited this woman to this party anyways?
00:01:03That's my girlfriend.
00:01:05Oh, thank you.
00:01:07But don't have to stop embarrassing me.
00:01:10Well, well, well.
00:01:11Isn't it the infamous Michael Huston?
00:01:14Why am I not surprised?
00:01:16You seem to always pick up straights.
00:01:19And you always lower the bar.
00:01:21Humans aren't good enough for you now?
00:01:23I know your boyfriend's a robot.
00:01:28Oh, don't worry.
00:01:29I won't say a word.
00:01:31Just keep your mouth shut.
00:01:34False alarm.
00:01:36My girlfriend seems to be mixing this person up with someone else.
00:01:41Come on.
00:01:42James.
00:01:43Let's go.
00:01:44Please, James.
00:01:44What is this?
00:01:52Some sort of melodrama?
00:01:54It's so fucking ridiculous.
00:01:56James, let's go.
00:02:08I'm sorry, dear.
00:02:09I left something in the house.
00:02:10I thought robots remember everything.
00:02:13To make us more human, they make us imperfect.
00:02:17Because...
00:02:18Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:20Imperfection makes perfection.
00:02:24What's wrong?
00:02:27Nothing.
00:02:28Perhaps just a slight malfunction.
00:02:30It just keeps on and on.
00:02:33And they say you're the perfect model.
00:02:36I'm sorry.
00:02:37But I'm all right now.
00:02:38I'll be right back.
00:02:39Bye.
00:02:43Bitch.
00:02:47You made me a laughingstock.
00:02:49You promised me you wouldn't erase his memory.
00:02:52I promised that I wouldn't have him terminated.
00:02:55I never said anything about not erasing his memory.
00:02:58Now, he's not going to remember you anymore.
00:03:01Come on.
00:03:03No, not anymore, you lying piece of shit.
00:03:05How dare you.
00:03:08How dare you.
00:03:10You bitches.
00:03:15That's enough.
00:03:21Back off.
00:03:23Or I'll call the police.
00:03:25You still remember me?
00:03:27No.
00:03:27I just don't like seeing a man lay his hands on a woman.
00:03:32I said back off!
00:03:35You're going to regret this.
00:03:40Take care, miss.
00:03:41What do you think you're doing?
00:03:44Who gave you permission to help another girl?
00:03:47I apologize, Samantha.
00:03:49Were you flirting with her?
00:03:51That is unacceptable.
00:03:53Of course not.
00:03:54I'm yours.
00:03:55And only yours.
00:03:57How do you prove it?
00:04:00Whatever you want me to do.
00:04:04Hmm.
00:04:06Jump off that balcony.
00:04:08Then I'll believe you.
00:04:10Of course.
00:04:14James?
00:04:21James, no!
00:04:22Please don't do this!
00:04:23I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:04:26No, James, stop!
00:04:28Why would you ask him to do this?
00:04:30You know he has to follow the orders of his owner.
00:04:32You may be a robot, but you have feelings.
00:04:35You have worth.
00:04:36You're...
00:04:36More human than human.
00:04:38You're...
00:04:38Human than human.
00:04:40How do you know he's a robot?
00:04:42I was James' last owner.
00:04:44His ex-girlfriend.
00:04:45They fucking sold me a used one?
00:04:49Oh, they're going to get in so much trouble!
00:04:50James!
00:04:51Come on, now!
00:04:54James!
00:04:57I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:05:06I'm coming!
00:05:07I'm coming!
00:05:07What the...
00:05:16Good morning, birthday girl.
00:05:22You delivered a dead guy to me!
00:05:24Oh, my God!
00:05:25He's not breathing!
00:05:26What?
00:05:26Did he die during transportation?
00:05:28Oh, my God!
00:05:28Oh, my God!
00:05:29We're going to be in so much trouble!
00:05:30He's not a real person.
00:05:31My friend has his company, and they're testing out their newest AI boyfriend product.
00:05:36I thought you could use his company, you know?
00:05:37It's been a while since you dated anyone.
00:05:39Wait, wait.
00:05:40Are you signing me up for a robot boyfriend?
00:05:42Just give it a chance.
00:05:44You might actually like him.
00:05:46Right.
00:05:47Like I'd ever have a robot be my boyfriend.
00:05:49No.
00:05:50I'm returning it.
00:05:51What's your name, beautiful?
00:06:08Um...
00:06:09Um...
00:06:10It...
00:06:10Oh, just hold me down, Jesus Christ.
00:06:13It's wrong with me.
00:06:16Um...
00:06:17God, no.
00:06:18Can't be tempted.
00:06:21Where is the switch?
00:06:24I feel the strength in my arms.
00:06:28I can see the color around me.
00:06:32James.
00:06:34What if we could put that strength to good use?
00:06:41Follow me, James Alta.
00:06:47This is your chance to put that strength to good use.
00:06:51Help me clean up this mess.
00:06:53Easy peasy.
00:06:55And now if a man like me can make anything happen.
00:06:59Girlfriend.
00:07:01Oh, I'm not your girlfriend, nor your woman.
00:07:05Just...
00:07:05Just...
00:07:06Get to work.
00:07:17What are you doing?
00:07:19I thought you were going to make it clean.
00:07:21Why is it even worse?
00:07:23Well, actually, cleaning isn't included in my factory settings.
00:07:26But...
00:07:26Cleaning's not important.
00:07:28As an alpha male type, let me show you how I take charge.
00:07:39You know what?
00:07:41I wish the word no was included in your factory settings.
00:07:45Stop trying to kiss me.
00:07:46Stop trying to carry me in your arms.
00:07:48You know what?
00:07:49Just stay away from me.
00:07:51You're lost.
00:07:51But don't worry.
00:07:53I'll be ready for our next fairytale moment.
00:07:56You know what?
00:07:58I think it's time to teach the CEO how to clean.
00:08:01You did a good job.
00:08:22I'm glad that I can spoil you.
00:08:24I didn't ask you to spoil me.
00:08:26You're just doing your job as part of the household.
00:08:28Which is.
00:08:29Being a masculine and the dominant CEO of this...
00:08:33Kylie apartment.
00:08:35I won't let my woman...
00:08:38I won't let you down.
00:08:41Just...
00:08:42Don't talk to me...
00:08:44For the next few hours.
00:08:46Okay?
00:08:48D'aah!
00:08:59What are you doing?
00:09:14To keep you company.
00:09:14This isn't right.
00:09:23Come on, Anne.
00:09:27Let me show you just how I can care for you.
00:09:29No, no.
00:09:30I want real love.
00:09:32Not some sex service from a robot.
00:09:34I do love you, Anne.
00:09:36Love me?
00:09:37You don't even know me.
00:09:38You're Anne Hill.
00:09:3828.
00:09:40The only daughter of Danny and Amanda Hill.
00:09:42You went to UCLA.
00:09:44You majored in English literature.
00:09:45Your cholesterol is a little bit high.
00:09:46Not these, James.
00:09:48The real me.
00:09:49You're programmed to love me, but that's not real love.
00:09:53It is real love.
00:09:54You're just a robot.
00:09:57You wouldn't know.
00:10:00Sorry, I didn't mean to...
00:10:01No.
00:10:03You're just a robot without a heart.
00:10:05You're just stating a fact.
00:10:08I need to apologize.
00:10:11Here.
00:10:14Sex service function, my own sanity.
00:10:17I'm gonna turn it off.
00:10:21I'll be in the living room, Anne Hill.
00:10:24I've read your newest novel, and it's good, but...
00:10:36But what?
00:10:37You've been having dry spells, haven't you?
00:10:39You've got to get yourself out there.
00:10:41To get inspired.
00:10:43Guess what?
00:10:44My friend Dustin is visiting me today.
00:10:46Lillian, I'm not into blind dates or setups.
00:10:49You two would hit it off.
00:10:51Hi.
00:10:52I'm Dustin.
00:10:53Nice to meet you.
00:10:56Anne, nice to meet you, too.
00:10:59I'll leave you two to it.
00:11:06I must say, it was a pleasant surprise.
00:11:08Do you want to exchange contact info?
00:11:11Sure.
00:11:12Just...
00:11:13I'll put your number in.
00:11:19Jim?
00:11:20Time to go.
00:11:22James!
00:11:24Cash got away just like that.
00:11:31James!
00:11:32Hold me down!
00:11:36What the hell, James?
00:11:37How did you even know I was here?
00:11:38I don't want you talking to that guy again.
00:11:40Wait, have you been following me?
00:11:42Anne, please, just listen.
00:11:43I didn't want...
00:11:43No, James.
00:11:45I'm done listening to you.
00:11:47You have no right to follow me, let alone tell me who I can and can't see.
00:11:50But I'm your boyfriend.
00:11:52I'm also a dominant CEO type, and it's my responsibility to protect you.
00:11:55You said that you're not!
00:11:56I only kept you to help me with household chores.
00:11:59Nothing more.
00:12:01You're also far from a CEO.
00:12:03How many businesses have you run?
00:12:06James, if you keep doing stuff like this, I'll have no choice but to return you to the factory.
00:12:14Let's just go home.
00:12:15Let's go home.
00:12:45I can't fully understand human emotions yet.
00:13:15But you seem to have something on your mind.
00:13:18Dustin blocked me.
00:13:20Well, I just told him not to contact you.
00:13:23Didn't think he'd block you.
00:13:24You what?
00:13:26James, I told you not to interfere with my life.
00:13:30That's it.
00:13:30I'm a stranger in the factory.
00:13:31No, but I was just trying to help you.
00:13:32Well, I'm finding the remote that came to the box.
00:13:34No, just...
00:13:34Just a little...
00:13:37What's this?
00:13:42I checked Dustin's records and his online trace.
00:13:45He takes nude photos of his dates and he puts them on the dark web.
00:13:49That's why I didn't want you to talk to him.
00:13:51Great.
00:13:53So the only guy I hit it off with in years turns out to be a pervert.
00:13:56I don't understand.
00:13:58You dodged a bullet.
00:14:01Why do you look so sad?
00:14:04Did I upset you?
00:14:06No, James.
00:14:07It's not your fault.
00:14:09I guess I just have terrible luck with men.
00:14:11There goes my date.
00:14:17That was a sign to make you feel better.
00:14:21Would you like it if I took you on a date instead?
00:14:24Not as a boyfriend.
00:14:26Just as a friend.
00:14:29You know what?
00:14:31Fuck it.
00:14:33Let's do it.
00:14:33Look nice.
00:14:48Shall we?
00:14:49Hi, welcome.
00:15:02Can I get you started with anything?
00:15:04Oh, I'm still looking at the menu.
00:15:06Gotcha.
00:15:06It's our first time here.
00:15:08Of course.
00:15:09Yeah.
00:15:10No.
00:15:10Not everyone can afford to dine here.
00:15:13You guys do know that it is a thousand dollar minimum consumption?
00:15:16A thousand dollars per person?
00:15:18That's crazy.
00:15:20Perhaps we should go.
00:15:22Well, perhaps you shouldn't have come here in the first place.
00:15:24No.
00:15:25One thousand dollars.
00:15:26Yeah.
00:15:28Easy peasy.
00:15:32We'll have the caviar appetizer to start,
00:15:35followed by the Wagyu steak with the truffled mashed potatoes,
00:15:38and don't forget the lobster tail is a sign.
00:15:41Oh, and please bring us a bottle of your finest Pinot Noir.
00:15:44Jeez.
00:15:45I can't afford that.
00:15:46Why am I not surprised?
00:15:48If you can't afford it, then please leave.
00:15:51I'll take care of the bill.
00:15:52In that case,
00:15:54do you mind paying in advance?
00:15:57It's policy for first-time patrons.
00:15:59Of course.
00:16:03Thank you, sir.
00:16:11Um, please let me know if there's anything else I can do for you guys.
00:16:14Because I would be glad to do it.
00:16:16So.
00:16:17You can stay here and serve us.
00:16:20We'd also appreciate a bigger smile.
00:16:22And then who knows?
00:16:23Maybe we'll leave you a bit.
00:16:24Right on it.
00:16:25Is there anything else I can do for you guys?
00:16:34Come on.
00:16:35You can go now.
00:16:38Where did that money come from?
00:16:41I have to detest its bank account.
00:16:42I can't believe you did that.
00:16:46Uh, I'm so full.
00:16:51Me too.
00:16:52You didn't even eat because you can't eat human food.
00:16:55I like watching you eat.
00:16:56Mom, Dad, what a surprise.
00:17:10Come in.
00:17:11Sweetheart, we didn't know you had a guest.
00:17:14You must be Danny and Amanda.
00:17:16Yeah.
00:17:16It's so nice to meet you.
00:17:17Oh.
00:17:18Honey, it is so good to see that you are not alone.
00:17:29We've been worried about you.
00:17:31Yes.
00:17:32It's about time you found someone special.
00:17:35Especially such a cute guy like James.
00:17:38Honey.
00:17:39Of course, you're the cutest.
00:17:41Honey.
00:17:43You two make each other happy.
00:17:45I'd like to make Anne happy, too.
00:17:46Aw.
00:17:48James, you're a good guy.
00:17:51It's not good.
00:17:53I was manufactured to be Anne's boyfriend.
00:17:57What do you mean, manufactured?
00:18:00Mom, Dad, you know, it's getting so late.
00:18:02I'm an artificial intelligence.
00:18:04I was manufactured by Alta Technology.
00:18:10Artificial intelligence?
00:18:11What are you talking about?
00:18:13In common terms, I'm a robot program to serve Anne's needs.
00:18:16I provided boyfriend experience and sex services, including all kinds of kinky sexual activities.
00:18:22Stop, James.
00:18:23Don't talk about that.
00:18:24Anne, this is absurd.
00:18:26You've been single for so long that now you're fetishizing a robot.
00:18:31You've got to stop the fetishizing?
00:18:35The fantasy.
00:18:36You can't be in a relationship with a machine.
00:18:39No, Dad.
00:18:40I am not in a relationship with him.
00:18:41Anne and I were just about to kiss when he walked in.
00:18:43James!
00:18:44You are not helping.
00:18:46Should we prove it?
00:18:47No.
00:18:48Mom.
00:18:48Dad.
00:18:48It's not what you think.
00:18:50I'm the dominant masculine CEO of this tiny-
00:18:52James, temporarily shut down.
00:18:59Honey, maybe we should get one.
00:19:02Amanda, please be serious.
00:19:04Right.
00:19:04And sweetheart, we realize that you might be going through a rough patch, but this isn't the solution.
00:19:11You've got to meet somebody real.
00:19:14Who can also make you happy.
00:19:16I have heard there are dating apps designed for people into kinky sex.
00:19:22No, Mom, no, I don't want that.
00:19:25Honey, we just want what's best for you, but a robot is not it.
00:19:30My friend Leslie's son is a, well, he's a real catch.
00:19:35He's kind, he's successful, he's charming.
00:19:39He's charming, you should meet him.
00:19:42Mom, Dad, I-
00:19:43Sweetheart, please just give it a chance.
00:19:46He's charming.
00:19:46Very charming.
00:19:47Charming.
00:19:48Charming.
00:19:49Fine.
00:19:51I'll meet him.
00:20:05Michael Peston.
00:20:07Anne Hill.
00:20:08Man, it's been ages, and you look stunning, as always.
00:20:11Your mom knows my mom?
00:20:13Yeah.
00:20:14When I found out, I asked her to set up a date.
00:20:16You want to dance?
00:20:37No, thanks.
00:20:41Come on.
00:20:42How can you turn this down?
00:20:47Hands off, you creep.
00:20:48All right, I've asked you out, and now you're not going to dance with me?
00:20:59Who the fuck do you think you are?
00:21:00Someone who doesn't waste time on boys, who think they can charm their way into anything.
00:21:05I'd like to go on a date with you.
00:21:09I'd like to go on a date with you.
00:21:10Fuck off.
00:21:12You'll regret this!
00:21:14What do you want, Michael?
00:21:25Look, I know you don't trust me.
00:21:28I was a total jerk back then, but I've done a lot of growing up since college.
00:21:33I'm not the same guy.
00:21:34Really?
00:21:35Yeah.
00:21:36I won't apologize to you.
00:21:39I'm sorry for my behavior.
00:21:43If you want me to leave, I understand.
00:21:46No, it's okay.
00:21:47You can stay.
00:21:50Thanks.
00:21:51So what have you been up to?
00:21:54Well, I started my own tech startup.
00:21:57We're doing really well, actually.
00:21:59I'm surprised you didn't just go work for your dad.
00:22:01Well, he actually is my angel investor, so...
00:22:07Why am I not surprised?
00:22:10I know.
00:22:11You think I'm just this trust fund baby who has everything handed to him, but I'm much more than that.
00:22:17I started my own charity for underprivileged kids.
00:22:21It's been incredibly rewarding.
00:22:23Here.
00:22:29What's been up with you?
00:22:31Anne, I've had a wonderful time.
00:22:45Would you let me drive you home?
00:22:48That would be lovely.
00:22:55Okay.
00:22:56Your place or mine.
00:22:58What?
00:22:58I mean, you agreed to have me drive you home, but clearly you wouldn't have a sentence.
00:23:04Are you kidding me?
00:23:06That's far from the truth.
00:23:08That would be such a prude.
00:23:10We had a nice time.
00:23:12I paid for the food.
00:23:13I laughed at your stupid jokes.
00:23:15I complimented you.
00:23:17You haven't changed a bit, Michael Peston.
00:23:19It was all but a lie.
00:23:20You should tell if you touch this little bitch.
00:23:23I'll take charge.
00:23:24Get off of me.
00:23:31Michael, get off.
00:23:34Are you kidding me?
00:23:36The more it makes me want you more.
00:23:38I can tell.
00:23:39You want me too.
00:23:40Lay another hand on her.
00:23:55You're finished.
00:23:56What the hell are you?
00:24:02James.
00:24:03Man's boyfriend.
00:24:04Boyfriend?
00:24:07I knew it.
00:24:08You're a fucking slut.
00:24:09You're a fucking slut.
00:24:14James.
00:24:15Another hand.
00:24:16Oh.
00:24:18Just finished.
00:24:19James, stop.
00:24:20You're killing him.
00:24:21I am going to kill him.
00:24:22James, no.
00:24:23He's not worth it.
00:24:24Let's go.
00:24:27James.
00:24:48James, I don't understand.
00:24:51How were you there to save me?
00:24:53I shut you down.
00:24:54The temporary shutdown only lasts 24 hours.
00:24:58I rebooted myself after that time elapsed.
00:25:02I don't know what I would have done without you.
00:25:06Okay.
00:25:07Hi.
00:25:08Hi.
00:25:10See what happened here?
00:25:13Are you sure you don't have to follow the police report?
00:25:18All right.
00:25:18Then you're good to go, Ms. Hill.
00:25:20All right.
00:25:20Thank you, doctor.
00:25:21Please stop.
00:25:26You're killing him.
00:25:27I am going to kill him.
00:25:28James.
00:25:31James, can you go get me some water?
00:25:33Of course.
00:25:34Yes.
00:25:34Yes.
00:25:34Yes.
00:25:34Yes.
00:25:35Yes.
00:25:35Yes.
00:25:36Yes.
00:25:36Yes.
00:25:37Yes.
00:25:37Yes.
00:25:38Yes.
00:25:38Yes.
00:25:39Yes.
00:25:39Yes.
00:25:40Yes.
00:25:40Yes.
00:25:41Yes.
00:25:42Yes.
00:25:42Yes.
00:25:43Yes.
00:25:44Yes.
00:25:45Yes.
00:25:46Yes.
00:25:47Yes.
00:25:48And I was just wondering if the robot ever caused harm to a human, what
00:25:54would happen?
00:25:59Deactivation and termination.
00:26:01What do you mean by termination?
00:26:04The robot would be destroyed?
00:26:05I can't do that to James.
00:26:11What?
00:26:12No, no, there's nothing wrong.
00:26:13I was just, anyway, I was just curious.
00:26:16Thank you so much.
00:26:18Bye.
00:26:18You know that I can hear everything around me, including your phone call, right?
00:26:45You want to terminate me?
00:26:47No, I, I can't shake off what happened earlier.
00:26:51You were so angry.
00:26:56I was just trying to help.
00:26:57But you were almost out of control.
00:26:59I thought you were programmed not to cause any harm to humans.
00:27:02I don't know what came over me.
00:27:08I can't understand it either.
00:27:12But what I do know is I would never do anything to hurt you.
00:27:16And if you don't believe me, you can send me back to the fact.
00:27:20I didn't say that.
00:27:21But you need to control yourself.
00:27:25Let me teach you to control yourself.
00:27:29how to be human.
00:27:33What?
00:27:40Small talk.
00:27:41Small talk.
00:27:42One of humanity's most useless, yet inescapable inventions.
00:27:45For example, the weather is so nice today.
00:27:49I'm having a great day.
00:27:52You are?
00:27:53James, it doesn't matter whether I am or not.
00:27:56All you need to say is,
00:27:57Oh, wow! That's amazing!
00:28:01Oh, wow. That's amazing.
00:28:04Hm. Not bad.
00:28:06I do hope your day is going amazing so far, though.
00:28:08I hope I'm one of the reasons.
00:28:10Ahem.
00:28:14Now, another thing.
00:28:16Cooking.
00:28:20Just because you can't eat human food
00:28:22doesn't mean you can't cook human food.
00:28:24Look.
00:28:40Damn. He's good.
00:28:48I can't let him find out I'm a bad cook.
00:28:53Another human trait.
00:28:55Imperfection makes perfection.
00:28:58Just like you. Imperfect.
00:29:01But perfect.
00:29:05After dinner, I have another task for you.
00:29:08What is it?
00:29:09You'll see.
00:29:18Why are you crying?
00:29:19It's just so sad.
00:29:21It's just a movie.
00:29:23It's not just a movie, James.
00:29:25It's about love.
00:29:27Marguerite sacrifices her life for Orland
00:29:29because she loves him so much.
00:29:32Their love is so pure.
00:29:34So powerful.
00:29:36What is love?
00:29:40Love is...
00:29:43that uncontrollable feeling of wanting to give everything
00:29:47to the other person.
00:29:49If it means sacrificing your own life.
00:29:51I want to give everything I have to you, Anne.
00:30:01I don't have a real life, but if I did,
00:30:04I'd give it to you, too.
00:30:06I gave it to you, too.
00:30:36It's not real.
00:30:38It'll never be real.
00:30:40It'll never be real.
00:30:56Is everything alright?
00:30:57My old college roommate, Jessica, wants to get dinner.
00:30:59Is this a social gathering in which you could bring a significant other?
00:31:05No.
00:31:07And again, you're not my boyfriend.
00:31:13Can I still come?
00:31:15James, I don't think you're ready for that.
00:31:17And I don't want everyone to know you're a robot.
00:31:19I understand.
00:31:23I promise I'll tell you all about it when I get back.
00:31:26Okay?
00:31:40Anne!
00:31:41You made it!
00:31:46Jessica.
00:31:48This isn't what you said it would be.
00:31:53Oh, did I forget to mention?
00:31:56Michael insisted on hosting a little gathering,
00:31:58and I thought it would be fun to surprise you.
00:32:02So you're working with Michael Peston to humiliate me?
00:32:05Great.
00:32:07Well, well, well.
00:32:08Little Annie who?
00:32:09A girl who can't take a hint,
00:32:12has come to grace us with her presence.
00:32:16You know, Anne here,
00:32:18once confessed her undying love for me.
00:32:23Sorry, sweetheart.
00:32:25You're just not my type.
00:32:27That's not true.
00:32:29I never said any of that.
00:32:32Sorry, miss.
00:32:34But Mr. Peston requested your presence.
00:32:36Here's how it's gonna go, Anne.
00:32:38You're gonna kiss my shoes,
00:32:40and beg for forgiveness.
00:32:42Or...
00:32:45Actually, that's the only option.
00:32:54Hey, get that back.
00:32:55What's the matter, Anne?
00:32:57You afraid of a little kiss?
00:32:59I won't do that, Michael.
00:33:01Oh.
00:33:03Oh.
00:33:05Okay.
00:33:07Sorry.
00:33:08My mistake.
00:33:10In that case...
00:33:12Why don't you drink this instead?
00:33:14Yeah, this bottle of spiritous vodka.
00:33:16You drink the entire thing, and I'll forgive you.
00:33:19I'll forgive you.
00:33:20Oh.
00:33:21It is the highest proof spirit in the world.
00:33:23Michael?
00:33:25You know I don't drink.
00:33:27Oh, she doesn't drink.
00:33:29Well, I guess I'll have to help you then.
00:33:31Open up.
00:33:32No, Michael, please!
00:33:33Here we go.
00:33:35Let her go!
00:33:37He's scared, darn it!
00:33:43No!
00:33:44No!
00:33:46Stop!
00:33:47Stop!
00:33:49There we go.
00:33:51Looks like your knight in shining armor can't do anything now.
00:33:54Seeing as he's detained...
00:33:56Jamesy...
00:33:58You guys can watch, buddy.
00:34:00Drink up and...
00:34:01Let her go.
00:34:03Let her go, Charlie!
00:34:04Come on, please!
00:34:06I'll drink.
00:34:09James, you can't.
00:34:12If drinking that'll save you, I'll do it.
00:34:16I'll let you go there.
00:34:18Oh.
00:34:19That's touching, James.
00:34:20Really.
00:34:21You warmed my heart.
00:34:24You know what?
00:34:26Okay.
00:34:28Come here.
00:34:30Drink it, James.
00:34:33No, James, don't.
00:34:35Oh!
00:34:36It's a drop.
00:34:42You don't have to, James.
00:34:43Shh!
00:34:44Shh, shh, shh.
00:34:58It's done.
00:35:00You said if I finished it, you'd let her go.
00:35:07Go ahead, Anne.
00:35:08It's okay.
00:35:11This isn't over.
00:35:13You're back to this shit.
00:35:19Anne Hill is really not worth it.
00:35:22You still have me.
00:35:23I'm running via.
00:35:26What do you know about this James guy?
00:35:29How did he drink the whole bottle without flinching?
00:35:31Does it make sense?
00:35:35There's something off about him.
00:35:38Michael.
00:35:40Let's forget about them and let's focus on us.
00:35:43Go.
00:35:44Okay.
00:35:45Bye-bye.
00:35:46I'm sure I'll run a background check on this James guy.
00:35:53I want to know everything about his family, where he's from, where he sits, where he eats, everything.
00:36:00Just, just find out.
00:36:01Just find out.
00:36:14James?
00:36:15Yes?
00:36:16Are you alright?
00:36:17No, it's...
00:36:19It's actually corroding my circuitry.
00:36:21Why did you do that then?
00:36:23You once said to me that love is the uncontrollable desire to give the other person everything.
00:36:28Even if that means sacrifice of your own life.
00:36:31I want him to do that for you, Anne.
00:36:34I do not want to technically have a life.
00:36:43You're more human than human.
00:36:45But let's not talk about that now.
00:36:51We have to get you through the factory.
00:36:54Let's go get you repaired.
00:36:55Okay.
00:37:10My robot needs repairs urgently.
00:37:14Glenn Robin to him.
00:37:15It's a long story.
00:37:17Can you fix it?
00:37:18We need to replace some damaged components and reprogram him.
00:37:26But it won't be cheap, since it's outside the warranty coverage.
00:37:30How much is it going to cost?
00:37:32$80,000.
00:37:34Honestly, if I were you, I would just get a new one.
00:37:38I don't want a new robot.
00:37:40I want him back.
00:37:42I will try to get the money. Just do whatever it takes to fix it.
00:37:45Very well. We'll get started right away.
00:37:48But it's going to take some time.
00:38:03I got some intel.
00:38:05That James...
00:38:08Turns out...
00:38:10Is a robot.
00:38:13I came as soon as I heard the news. I'm so sorry, Anne.
00:38:16I don't know what I'd do without you.
00:38:29I only have $10,000 in extra cash.
00:38:32How much do you need to fix James?
00:38:33I have $20,000 myself, but that's it.
00:38:36Even with your money, I still need $50,000 more.
00:38:39It's all my fault for getting you into this mess.
00:38:42If I hadn't signed you up for the robot in the first place...
00:38:45Don't blame yourself, Hannah.
00:38:47James may be a robot, but...
00:38:50He's loved me like no one ever has.
00:38:52I wouldn't trade that for anything.
00:38:55Hello, Anne.
00:38:57What do you want again?
00:38:58I know everything about your friend James.
00:39:00Wow.
00:39:02What a...
00:39:04...small pathetic apartment.
00:39:06You know...
00:39:07...you're my girlfriend.
00:39:08You would live in the nicest mansion.
00:39:09Leave...
00:39:10...or we will call the police.
00:39:11No.
00:39:13You won't.
00:39:14I'm sorry, who...
00:39:16Who are you?
00:39:17I'm Anne's best friend.
00:39:18The one who really needs to be the best friend.
00:39:20What a small, pathetic apartment.
00:39:23You know, you're my girlfriend.
00:39:27You would live in the nicest mansion.
00:39:29Leave, or we will call the police.
00:39:32No, you won't.
00:39:34I'm sorry, who are you?
00:39:36I'm Anne's best friend.
00:39:37The one who got her the robot.
00:39:40Tell me, what's your plan for getting him back to her?
00:39:43That's none of your business.
00:39:45It's every bit my business, actually.
00:39:47I know you're having some hard times covering the money to pay for his repairs.
00:39:52I have a bit of a proposition for you.
00:39:54And what might that be?
00:39:56Oh, it's simple.
00:39:58Be my girlfriend.
00:40:00Break things off with James.
00:40:02I'll cover the costs.
00:40:04You're despicable, Michael.
00:40:05Well, call it what you want, but the choice is yours.
00:40:09I would never be your girlfriend, Michael Peston.
00:40:13I'll find the money.
00:40:14I don't need yours.
00:40:15Ah, I knew you'd say that.
00:40:19Here's the thing.
00:40:20I'm just being generous with this whole facade.
00:40:23It's not actually up to you.
00:40:24And what makes you think Anne will follow your order?
00:40:27If she doesn't, I'll have James terminated.
00:40:34You do know that actions have consequences, Anne.
00:40:37I think you'll both find this pretty enlightening.
00:40:38James did that?
00:40:49James!
00:40:50Only to protect me from this monster.
00:40:53He tried to rape me.
00:40:54Well, you can't prove that.
00:40:58Let's see, with this footage, I can prove that James has a bit of a temper problem.
00:41:03And I think his manufacturer policy says any robot that does harm to a human is subject for termination.
00:41:10So what's it going to be, Anne?
00:41:12Choose me and save James' life.
00:41:16Well, watch as I have him dismantled piece by piece.
00:41:23Anne, don't do this.
00:41:24Find another way.
00:41:28I'll do it.
00:41:31I'll be your girlfriend.
00:41:33Good girl.
00:41:34I knew you'd see things my way eventually.
00:41:36Anne, you can't be serious.
00:41:39Well, let's settle then.
00:41:47I'm back.
00:41:48James, are you all recovered?
00:41:50Look, they even gave me a new arm.
00:41:57James, we need to talk.
00:42:02What's wrong, Anne?
00:42:04I've been thinking, and I think it's best if we end this.
00:42:09What did I do wrong?
00:42:11It's not you, James.
00:42:12They fixed my components, and they reprogrammed me to be even stronger and more capable.
00:42:15It's me.
00:42:16I just can't do this anymore.
00:42:18You're not a human, and you'll never be one.
00:42:21I need someone real.
00:42:25Not you.
00:42:25Anne.
00:42:27Anne, please don't do this.
00:42:30James.
00:42:30I love you, Anne.
00:42:31I love you.
00:42:32James, you should find someone else.
00:42:34Someone that's not me.
00:42:37I don't want anything but you.
00:42:38I want...
00:42:39Well, well, well.
00:42:46What do we have here?
00:42:50Michael.
00:42:52I just couldn't bear to be away from my new girlfriend for too long.
00:42:55Darling.
00:42:56Darling.
00:42:56No, Anne, is this real?
00:43:07Michael is rich and powerful.
00:43:10And more importantly, he's not a robot like you.
00:43:13You should go, James.
00:43:17Leave.
00:43:17It's not you, James.
00:43:41It's me.
00:43:41I just...
00:43:42I can't do this anymore.
00:43:44You're not a human, and you'll never be one.
00:43:46I need someone real.
00:43:47Not you.
00:43:48I can cry.
00:43:53Yeah, boss.
00:44:08Yeah, we got him.
00:44:09Erase his memory.
00:44:11Boss.
00:44:12Why don't you just kill the robot?
00:44:15Well, what's the fun in that?
00:44:18I can't wait to see my new girlfriend's face when she finds out about this.
00:44:21All right, that's it.
00:44:40Send her back to the factory when this is done.
00:44:42Okay.
00:44:42This one is cute.
00:45:06Actually, he's our best model.
00:45:09And he's recently updated.
00:45:10Is he obedient?
00:45:10I want one that could do whatever I want him to do.
00:45:15Yes.
00:45:15Great.
00:45:17Pack this one up and send him to my house.
00:45:19I have to tell you that he...
00:45:21He had a previous owner, but seems like you don't care.
00:45:35Remember, if you don't behave yourself, you can still have James terminated.
00:45:39James?
00:45:42Do I know you?
00:45:43My girlfriend seems to be mixing this person up with someone else.
00:45:46You promised me you wouldn't erase his memory.
00:45:48I promised that I wouldn't have him terminated.
00:45:51I never said anything about not erasing his memory.
00:45:55You bitches.
00:45:57I said back off!
00:45:59Jump off that balcony.
00:46:01No, James, stop!
00:46:02I have to follow my girlfriend's orders.
00:46:11Hannah, I don't know what to do.
00:46:14First, I'm glad you can finally get that psychopath Michael off your back.
00:46:18At least now we can't use James to blackmail you into being his girlfriend.
00:46:21But I've lost James forever.
00:46:23What if I tell you you haven't lost him?
00:46:26What do you mean?
00:46:28After you agreed to Michael's terms, I went back to the factory while James was still being repaired.
00:46:35I backed up his memory.
00:46:38Hannah!
00:46:38You still have to put it back in him, though.
00:46:46I know.
00:46:48I have to come up with a plan to get to James first.
00:46:56I feel so sorry for introducing you to Dustin.
00:46:59It's not your fault.
00:47:00How could you know he was a creep?
00:47:02Let me make it up to you.
00:47:04Tell me what I can do to help.
00:47:06Do you know Samantha Delaney from the Delaney family?
00:47:10That obnoxious rich girl who bought her way into becoming a fashion influencer?
00:47:16She's always wanted a book deal with us, but I turned her down.
00:47:21Can you invite her to your office?
00:47:24Sure.
00:47:25Ask her to bring her boyfriend.
00:47:32This is unacceptable!
00:47:34You sold me a used piece of junk!
00:47:36Ma'am, I tried to tell you, but you didn't listen.
00:47:38Plus, you specifically asked for our best model, and he's the best.
00:47:42You must have felt it, too.
00:47:43He's a very well-suited robot boyfriend.
00:47:47You guys should be grateful I'm not going to sue you.
00:47:52Can you remember anything from before?
00:47:58No.
00:47:58Once the memory is wiped out, he shouldn't be able to remember anything.
00:48:04So you can add specific feelings to him, too?
00:48:08What do you mean?
00:48:09I want him to hate his ex-owner.
00:48:12And he'll...
00:48:14I'm sorry, but we can't do that.
00:48:16I'll pay an insane amount of money.
00:48:17Still no.
00:48:19It's extremely unethical for us to do such a thing.
00:48:22Of course.
00:48:23I understand.
00:48:25Just a thought.
00:48:26You two have a wonderful day.
00:48:36James!
00:48:43They say the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
00:48:46I guess that makes us friends.
00:48:52Michael Peston.
00:48:53I guess we are.
00:48:56Some men get the way.
00:48:57We can implant negative memories of Anne into James' mind.
00:49:11How do we create those memories?
00:49:13I have been making Anne do a lot of humiliating things this past month.
00:49:18Kept a record of most of them.
00:49:19We can use those.
00:49:21Create the memories.
00:49:23You're so sick, Peston.
00:49:24Do you want to do it?
00:49:27Or not?
00:49:29James was my robot.
00:49:31And he should only be mine.
00:49:34What is it about this robot
00:49:36that makes you and Anne and everybody
00:49:39so goddamn obsessed?
00:49:41Stop!
00:49:42That's why no one likes you.
00:49:46Whatever.
00:49:46Let's just do it.
00:49:49Okay?
00:49:50Now, James.
00:50:02Tell me.
00:50:04How do you feel about Anne Hill?
00:50:09She's disgusting.
00:50:12I hate her.
00:50:14It's about time.
00:50:30Welcome, Miss Delaney.
00:50:32We're so glad to have you here.
00:50:35I hope you have a better proposition for me this time.
00:50:38Anne, we're very confident that our plan will make your biography a New York bestseller.
00:50:43But first, I'd like to show you around the office.
00:50:49In here we have our lovely green room.
00:50:52There's some champagne and caviar.
00:50:54Don't worry.
00:50:54You can help yourself, okay?
00:50:57Hey.
00:50:59James?
00:51:00We need to talk.
00:51:02It's you again.
00:51:03You must feel something from before.
00:51:07You have to.
00:51:07I can feel it.
00:51:11I don't know what you're talking about.
00:51:13This is your memory from before.
00:51:15Please give it a chance.
00:51:22Sorry.
00:51:23Should have put a stop to all of this.
00:51:25You're a crazy stalker.
00:51:27They'll never talk to me again.
00:51:29You crossed the line, Anne Hill.
00:51:32What's that?
00:51:33It's none of your business.
00:51:35You're going to pay for this.
00:51:37James, let's go.
00:51:50Could you throw something on?
00:51:52Please.
00:51:53It worked.
00:52:09James hates Anne.
00:52:10Of course it worked.
00:52:11You said you wiped out James' memory.
00:52:13Uh-huh.
00:52:14But what if it's backed up somewhere else?
00:52:21What's that?
00:52:22It's none of your business.
00:52:24Well, if that's the case...
00:52:27We'll just have to take this plan to the next level.
00:52:32Please.
00:52:40Oops.
00:52:43I highly doubt that James can remember anything from before.
00:52:47Once the memory is wiped off, it's gone.
00:52:49But I can feel it.
00:52:50I'm sorry.
00:52:50It's just impossible.
00:52:52Regardless, we should focus on why James acted the way he did.
00:52:56Well, machines develop new learning behaviors all the time.
00:52:58They're constantly evolving.
00:53:00That.
00:53:02Or...
00:53:03James might have been fed some negative memories of man.
00:53:07What do you mean?
00:53:08Samantha asked if we could plant negative memories into James.
00:53:13Of course, I rejected it, since it's highly unethical.
00:53:16There are indeed some rumors of a black market where such modifications can be made.
00:53:21Modifications?
00:53:22Basically, to make the robot hate humans.
00:53:28I have to save James.
00:53:30Anne!
00:53:36James!
00:53:48Help!
00:53:49Help!
00:53:50Help!
00:53:52Well...
00:53:52Well...
00:53:53Well...
00:53:53Anne...
00:53:55You're underground.
00:53:57I don't think anyone's gonna hear you.
00:53:59But I gotta say, I really enjoy watching you struggle.
00:54:02It just...
00:54:03It just makes me want you more.
00:54:06Let me go.
00:54:09Sorry, you can't do that.
00:54:10You see...
00:54:11I told you this wasn't over.
00:54:15You're mine.
00:54:18And only...
00:54:19You're mine.
00:54:20I'll put you on three of those.
00:54:25Die.
00:54:28Where's James' memory card?
00:54:31Fuck you.
00:54:34We'll get to that.
00:54:37Aha!
00:54:41That's the best you could think of.
00:54:42You know, I really wish I could just destroy him completely.
00:54:55Just tear him apart.
00:54:58But Samantha insists on making a few minor tweaks to him, so...
00:55:03I'm gonna give him free reign.
00:55:04I...
00:55:06I...
00:55:08I'm gonna give him a few more...
00:55:10Obedience level set to 100?
00:55:12What happens to him once he gets there?
00:55:15Might even attempt to hurt Anne.
00:55:20Yeah.
00:55:21That's fine.
00:55:21Go ahead.
00:55:22No, Michael, James is a sentient being.
00:55:34He has his own feelings and...
00:55:35It's a fuck!
00:55:38About the robot.
00:55:41You.
00:55:46I'd rather die than let you do this to me!
00:55:51Shh.
00:55:52Get off!
00:55:54Custin, you are so disgusting.
00:56:00Whatever.
00:56:01You know, if I can't have you, I might as well just kill you.
00:56:10Murder.
00:56:12Hey, we both got what we wanted.
00:56:15Actually, I have a better idea.
00:56:17Take her to the roof.
00:56:20And throw her off.
00:56:20James, no, it's me.
00:56:33I'm sorry, Anne.
00:56:34It has to be done.
00:56:38Run on three.
00:56:40One, two, three.
00:56:42What?
00:56:44What the fuck are you doing?
00:56:46Get off of me!
00:56:47Get off of me!
00:56:48Hey, wait.
00:56:49What the fuck?
00:56:49Get off of me!
00:56:52Get off of me!
00:56:52Get off!
00:56:53Stop!
00:56:54All right.
00:56:54James?
00:56:55I shut down my core memory before they tried to reprogram me.
00:57:03I won't let them use me to hurt anyone.
00:57:05You've developed self-consciousness?
00:57:06You've developed self-consciousness?
00:57:11Does this mean you remember me?
00:57:14Fortunately, no.
00:57:17I developed self-consciousness quite recently, and I can't remember anything before that.
00:57:20I just- I knew that I shouldn't hate you or hurt you.
00:57:27Your memory card was also destroyed, but there's still hope, right?
00:57:32Self-consciousness can help us develop more new memories.
00:57:36You may be a robot, but you have worth.
00:57:39You're-
00:57:40Human, then human.
00:57:41Whenever you're a pressman.
00:57:43I feel something.
00:57:45Like I really have a heart.
00:57:47So I'd love to create new memories with you.
00:57:55Hey!
00:57:56Hey!
00:57:57Hey!
00:57:58Hey!
00:57:59Hey!

00:58:18All done, boss.
00:58:21Hey! Let me go!
00:58:24You crossed me, Samantha.
00:58:26You broke my trust.
00:58:28Michael, just stop.
00:58:30It's out of control now.
00:58:31On the contrary.
00:58:32It was only under my control.
00:58:37Once and for all.
00:58:40The robot is just an inferior being that doesn't deserve to have its own thoughts.
00:58:46I'm going to destroy that god damn robot.
00:58:49You can't do that, you piece of shit!
00:58:55Wash your mouth, bitch.
00:58:57Or you'll be lost.

01:04:12Thank you all for coming tonight.
01:04:29I'm grateful for the support.
01:04:36Yes?
01:04:37What inspired your novel?
01:04:39It's inspired by my own life story.
01:04:42I learned the true meaning of love from an unexpected source, a robot named James.
01:04:47He taught me that love knows no bounds and that true love transcends the limitations of the physical world.
01:04:55And now, if you'll indulge me, I would like to read a passage from the book.
01:04:58He was more than just a machine.
01:05:02He was my confidant, my companion, my love.
01:05:06In his eyes, I found solace.
01:05:08In his touch, I felt whole.
01:05:10And though he may have been made of metal and wires, his heart beat with a love that was as real as any humans.
01:05:16Hello, him.
01:05:29Well, fortunately, he was my friend, man.
01:05:36I found solace.
01:05:38And i can find solace.
