After a programmer working on a top secret surveillance program snaps in a murderous rage, a notorious code wizard with problems of his own moves into the startup offices to figure out what went wrong and deliver the final product. But the deeper he delves into the code, the more the code takes on a malevolent life of its own.

00:08Mr. Desmond, please describe to me what Roper does.
00:13Roper harvests multiple input streams, surveillance video, phone conversations, etc.
00:18Analyzes facial and body movements and provides probabilistic predictions of near-term behavior.
00:23Hey babe, how's it going?
00:25First impressions better than I expected, thank God.
00:28They could predict whether, at a fork in the road, a person will turn right or left.
00:32You put in a bank, identify robbers. In an airport, spot terrorists ahead of time.
00:37It's also my understanding that the code is close to being certified, but time is short.
00:42You do know there was a problem, yes?
00:48Anything like this ever happened before?
00:50What's the matter, baby? You look ragged.
00:53The overworked code monkey snapped, went out blazing.
00:56Who was this guy?
00:58Just some guy.
00:59No, no, no, no, no. This guy knew something, man. I mean, what's going on here is the fire that
01:04lights itself.
01:07It is so beautiful.
01:11Ghosts.
01:13You're the one who saw it.
01:14I don't think that this is about behavior recognition. I think this is behavior modification.
01:23Dammit, Desiree, just focus on the code!
01:25I just have to finish the project. It just has to ship.
01:29And everything bad goes away.
01:31Please, honey, hurry up. Hurry up and finish, honey. Hurry!
01:41It'll be murder, but we'll get there.
01:45You do not find the bug in the code. The code finds the bug in you.
01:51It is, guys.
01:52Is that better?
01:52But if I fall overworked, of course it was a thing.
