[female voice.]
$500,000 transferred to your account.
Thank you.
So how did it go? I didn't talk about the shooting in detail.
Just in general.
I have to file a report with the department chief.
Say that your partner was killed by Safronov.
That will put the entire force on his case.
Exactly.
And they'll be trying to shoot him on arrest.
Yes, but what if they bring him in? He'll go into custody, and I'll make sure he never comes out.

[electronic bleeping.]
[music intensifies.]
[dramatic piano chords.]
[music continues to build.]
[gunshot.]
[electrical welder crackling.]
You're not worried that she already broke a pair of handcuffs? No.
This is an industrial grade chain, designed to hold several tons.
It's unbreakable.
To cut the bullet out of my sister's body.
Are you nuts? I said she needs to go to hospital.
Here's the deal.
An underage girl, no parents, a gunshot wound.
Can you imagine how that ends? I can imagine how it ends for me if I operate on her here.
No light, no anesthesia, no instruments, no antibiotics.
Give me the list.
I'll get everything you need.
You're willing to risk your sister's life? Don't push me.
We're wasting time.
I have one condition, on top of the pills and instruments.
I'm listening.
[ambient music playing.]
[Zhanna.]
Don't just stand there.
How are you feeling? What do you think? It's OK.
You'll get better soon.
How? I brought your jacket.
It's cold in here.
[gasps in pain.]
Lie down.
Come on.
Lie down.
Hold on.
I'll be right back.
- Vulture, you're staying.
- Why? Because I said so.
Keep an eye on Doc.
- Got it.
- Better lock him up.
Bars, wait.
Zhanna Should we take her to the hospital? They'll put her in an orphanage.
Watch Safronov.
Bars.
Zhanna has got worse.
She needs painkillers.
That's why we're going out.
Take care of Zhanna.
I'm counting on you.
- Come on.
- I'll stay with her.
I need you.
Vulture, find them some new clothes.
She stands out.
[sighs.]
[loud rattling.]
We'll fill up and get to Minsk in 90 minutes.
What are you doing? Booking tickets.
Are you nuts? Online? - It will be traced.
- Then we'll book a flight at the airport.
Yes, but first we need to go back.
We're not going back.
Too dangerous.
We barely escaped.
Egor is with his dad.
Think about Sonya.
Yeah.
You're right.
[bleep.]
40 LITERS.
217 POINTS [ping.]
[phone beeps.]
Something wrong? Yes.
We're going back.
[eerie percussive music playing.]
What's this? [Arisa.]
A bullet.
The caliber is 5.
56.
Cool.
I don't understand.
It was a compliment.
I need to download your memory.
Where is the port? How do I plug in? You are not an authorized user.
You don't have access.
That's why I asked.
Unfortunately, it is impossible.
- Why? - You are not an authorized user.
Cut it out.
What is it you want me to cut? If you don't tell me where the slot is, I'll be forced to use this.
You are trying to apply the Third Law of Robotics.
But I don't abide by those laws.
Shit! You're tougher than I thought.
Thank you.
Fine.
Let's talk.
What do you want? I need to make sure my family is safe.
What's up? - Nothing.
- I'm the one working with her.
Bars told me to change her clothes.
Plesheyeva, what's going on? I'm cut off from the world.
They let me make one call, I called the office, but no one answered.
And neither did you.
What's wrong? Are you OK? [Ira.]
Yes.
Just tired.
How is Safronov? Do we have the bot? And the contents of the memory? Not yet.
You realize Toropov will escape if he finds out that we have Arisa? Who is it? Volodya.
Petrenko.
[mournful music playing.]
How did it happen? He went to the rendezvous point with Suponev.
There was a shootout, and Stas claims Safronov killed Petrenko.
Hey, Safronov or whatever your name is.
Who are you? Arisa says hi.
She wants to be sure you're OK.
Do I look OK? Just checking you're alive.
[phone camera clicks.]
[panting.]
[heavy breathing.]
[crash.]
Shit! - [Lara.]
How did you do it? - What? Persuade the bot you were her family.
Actually, she persuaded me.
Doc! Zhanna is getting worse.
I think she's dying.
It's shock.
Cardiac arrest.
- What do we do? - Help me.
Lift her.
- Can you count? - Yeah.
Start counting.
1001, 1002, 1003 Is something wrong? Zhanna's screwed.
Screwed? She's dying.
Why are you leaving? You want me to wait for Bars to come back? I have enough on my plate.
- Release me.
I can help.
- Why would I? Don't you care about anyone more than you care about yourself? 3001, 3002, 3003.
- 3001, 3002, 3003.
- Georgy, step away.
- Arisa, not now.
- Georgy.
[defibrillator humming.]
Heart rate, 60.
Body temperature, 39.
5 C.
Blood pressure, 90/60.
- Thank you.
- You really want to destroy that bot? Sit down.
Keep taking her vitals.
This wasn't part of the deal.
Bars told us to download her memory and keep her away from Zhanna.
No problem.
I can work here.
[Vulture.]
OK.
I'll chain her up.
Bars, we passed three pharmacies.
Why didn't we stop? Right! We go in and say, "Miss, we need to extract a bullet.
Give us a couple of Fentanyls without a prescription.
" So where are we going? To the vet's.
- I worked there until a bot replaced me.
- Bars, what's going on? We're here.
Get out.
Now let's go to the vet's.
Egor! It's over.
Everything's going to be OK.
You're safe.
Did Dad fix it? It doesn't matter.
We'll go away and forget about this nightmare.
- I'm not going.
- Why? Mom, Zhanna is sick.
I can't leave her.
Alla, please wait in the car.
Egor, I do understand.
Your girlfriend is in trouble, and you don't want to go.
I have a woman I love.
Your mother.
She won't leave without you.
I can't force you.
All I can do is ask.
Please help me get your mom and Sonya to safety.
As soon as we get to Australia, I'll book you a return ticket if you still want it.
But now I'm asking you to think of your family.
[mournful music playing.]
[mournful music continues.]
So where's that romantic guy who was always with Zhanna? That's my son.
I arranged for him to be taken to his mom.
That was a mistake.
You should have arranged for Alla to send Sonya to us.
That would restore balance to the system.
- [Lara.]
The system? - A family is a system.
All elements have to be in place.
- Does she think she's your wife? - She thinks too much.
[Georgy.]
Arisa.
Arisa? Heart rate, 90.
Body temperature, 36.
4 C.
Blood pressure, 90/60.
How does she do it? [ominous music playing.]
[Noob.]
We used to smoke out here.
Bars.
Why don't we destroy their bots? Forget it.
No monkey business.
We go in, take the instruments and meds, and leave.
Go, go Stop.
The supplies room is over there.
Bars, go with Moose.
The rest follow me to get the instruments.
[Moose.]
I've got bandages.
Got saline.
Let's go.
Instruments.
Bag them up.
[Lara.]
It's not easy to get into her brain.
This interface is tricky.
- I need a drill.
- Don't you dare! - Who's going to monitor the girl? - Not my problem.
I'm paid for my patient and you, for yours.
[Georgy.]
I'm not doing this for money.
Are you trying to guilt trip me? Some need money to live, others, to survive.
See the difference? Doctor What do you specialize in? - I'm a forensic pathologist.
- Seriously? No.
But if her brother doesn't bring the meds soon, that will be the only doctor she needs.
Well Noob, what are you doing? Beard, you're on lookout.
We're here on business.
What does it look like? Killing these freaks is what Liquidators do.
Are you fucking nuts? There are plenty of bots out there.
Those bots are another matter.
These are the ones that lost me my job.
You need meds? Go look for them.
Meanwhile, me and the guys You and the guys will do what I tell you to do.
Got it? [Beard.]
Bars! The cops! We sneak out and leave.
Sneak out and leave? How are we supposed to do that? I'm going alone.
What the hell? Are you abandoning us here? Then come with me.
What are you doing? No.
We'll stay and wait for the cops to leave.
[Moose.]
Speak for yourself.
What do you mean? - I don't get it.
- Which part? My sister is there.
And she's more important to you than us.
Have you lost your mind? Guys, you hear that? His sister is more important.
- Relax, bro.
- No.
Don't tell me to relax.
- If your sister is more important - I'll shoot you, you bastard.
[cocks pistol.]
Calm down, Bars.
Take it easy.
Alright.
Whoever wants to go with me, let's go.
The others can wait with Noob for the cops to leave.
Anyone? OK.
Moose, let's go.
Remember that joke about Natasha Rostova? The one you told yesterday? Anyway, Natasha was hanging out with the lieutenant [engine starts.]
Shit.
How much longer? I believe you need to take a break and relax.
Oh? Why do you care? Your vital signs are diverging from the norm.
When was your last medical checkup? Listen, if you want to treat someone, treat her.
Don't be rude.
She's trying to help.
So I'm surrounded by altruists working for free! You don't think they told me she was a killer, and you were hiding her? - You don't know what you're talking about.
- Guess I misunderstood.
She was just helping people to get to heaven! [Arisa.]
I was helping my family.
Protecting those I am supposed to take care of.
Why should I believe you? You shouldn't.
Just bear in mind that after you download my memory, I will be destroyed.
Come on.
You're afraid of death? I am afraid that after my destruction, I will be unable to take care of Georgy, Egor, and Sonya.
Sonya is my youngest.
They became good friends.
A killer and a nanny.
What a great combination.
You'll understand once you have kids.
Understand what? What will I understand? Georgy, Zhanna isn't stable anymore.
Irregular heart rate, blood pressure dropping.
Shit.
OK.
That's it.
- [Vulture.]
Hey! Hey! Where are you going? - The hospital.
- Bars told us to wait here.
- Wait for her to die? - Put her down.
- Move.
- Put her down.
- Out of my way! - Put her down.
- Will you shoot? - Don't push me.
- Shoot.
Go ahead.
- Put her down! - Yo! What the hell is this? Mr.
Toropov, you and the Cronos company although the two are now pretty much synonymous have always been known for your ambitious robotics projects.
But yesterday you showed us something quite unique.
What did we see and how will it influence our lives? I'm glad to hear that you recognize the significance of this event.
Cronos's victory is something that our fellow countrymen have yet to understand.
And this is just the beginning.
So you're saying that you plan to go even further? What should we expect? Something humanity has always strived for.
Happiness, prosperity Because Arisa is more than just another commercial project.
We are not after short-term profits.
Arisa and bots like her will be able to elevate humanity to an entirely new level.
[Georgy.]
Lights! What do you mean, impossible? I mean it's impossible to download her memory.
If it was just the code, it would be easy.
But her memory core is protected at hardware level.
You mean the developers didn't design any system access? I don't know.
Ask them.
I'm not paying them, I'm paying you.
No memory, no money.
Isn't the time I wasted here worth something? - Bars, you're forgetting.
- What? Egor.
I need to know he's OK.
Vulture.
[dial tone.]
Hi.
How are you guys? - Egor? - We're leaving.
Egor, too.
Egor, I'll call you as soon as I finish the surgery.
Zhanna will be fine, I promise.
[bleep.]
Where's the blood? Use mine.
We're the same blood type.
Ever heard of Rhesus factor? You know what happens if you're wrong? I'm not wrong.
Get to it.
Hold this.
[tense music playing.]
Arisa, I need to know her vitals.
- I can show them on a monitor.
- Do that.
[Lara.]
Use mine.
Put it where I can see it.
Tell us more about Arisa's unique features.
It's simple.
Arisa is the first empathic bot, meaning she can not only serve humans but also recognize their feelings and emotions, and understand them.
You mean she is almost human? Not exactly.
Of course, Arisa is much closer to us than our competitors' robots and, perhaps, the competitors themselves.
Yes, but humans typically display other characteristics, and emotions such as aggression even a desire to kill their peers.
Is there anything like that in Arisa? The answer is, certainly not.
The Laws of Robotics are still intact.
Whatever you may have heard is just baseless rumor.
The truth is that our competitors are trying to undermine our company.
[journalist.]
Can you reveal their names? No.
I'm just saying that the truth will always out.
Especially when the lie is so ridiculous.
Thank you.
We will wait, and hopefully see that there's a happy resolution to this complex situation.
Thanks.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
This is for you.
From our company.
[Alexey.]
You did great.
Smooth as silk.
You can do it when you want to.
- Is this - Yes, it is.
A gift certificate for one Arisa.
You'll be among the first owners when we start mass production.
Thank you.
- [ringtone.]
- The minister.
I have to take this.
When will mass production start? As soon as the funding comes through.
You won't have to wait long.
Don't worry about Arisa.
- You'll be safe with her.
- Thank you.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
[ringtone.]
Vic, hi.
Since when do you call me first? Sorry.
It's about Borya.
[Vic.]
Don't we have any backups? [Maslo.]
I can restore his memory, but the body It was custom-made.
It short-circuited.
We need a new body.
Do we have any left in the kindergarten? After the ban on child bots you told us to get rid of them.
That was smart but short-sighted.
OK.
Let's take the smallest bot and put this head on him.
Impossible.
Our shortest bot is five feet tall.
She can't see him like this.
Of course not.
Svetlana would go crazy.
You think she'd really lose it? She's a mother.
And this is a monster, not your son.
Not my son, anyway.
OK.
I'll figure something out.
She'll go nuts [Lara.]
Oh, look who's back.
How is Zhanna? Zhanna is stable.
She is currently on painkillers.
Where are Vulture and Safronov? They went to eat.
You should too.
He got his sister into this mess and now he pretends to be a doting brother.
Giving her his blood.
It's ridiculous.
[Arisa.]
Lara.
Please stop doing this.
What do you mean? It was necessary for me to connect to your device.
You took advantage and started downloading files from my memory.
Why didn't you disconnect? The success of the surgery and Zhanna's life depended on it.
Lara.
Don't hand over my memory to Bars.
It's a matter of life or death for me.
Darling, you don't understand.
It's life or death for me, too.
[taser crackles.]
[crackling.]
I called Noob.
He's not coming back.
So? Something went wrong.
People are jumping ship.
It's the rats who are jumping, Moose.
The humans stay.
If you want to call yourself human, you need to - Are you OK? - Step back.
[Bars.]
Yeah, yeah.
[Vulture.]
I'll get some tea with sugar.
I'm fine.
Thanks.
- A keepsake for your sister.
- [Bars.]
OK.
Who were those masked people that shot at us? How should I know? Toropov's men, probably.
Toropov? Funny.
Were they after me or after you? What do you mean? Only you and I knew about the meeting.
I know I didn't tell anyone.
They must have been following one of us.
You have Arisa.
Your sister is more or less fine.
I kept my side of the bargain.
Sorry, I have to go.
Yes, you have to go to our suite, Safronov.
[crackling.]
Egor, do you miss Daddy? Well Do you want an orange? An apple? Let me read you a story.
I'll go get your book.
MINSK BELARUS Lev, you realize I won't stay in Australia without Egor? What else could I have done? I couldn't just shove him in the trunk.
[Alla.]
You're right.
[Lev.]
Get the papers.
I'm booking tickets.
Sure.
Wake up.
Time to cough up my money.
- Did you download it? - Open your eyes.
Great.
I don't care about money.
It was worth it.
- You don't have to pay me today.
- What? Yeah.
Do me a favor.
What do you want? Give me Arisa.
Now you need her too? Why not? I'll study her code in case I need to hack into a bot like her.
You won't.
There won't be any bots like her.
There will.
And someone will make a shitload of money.
Will you sell her on the black market? Why do you care? You'll just break her and dump her.
Yeah.
The key word is "break.
" In front of the public.
I'll post it online, together with the recording of her murders, for everyone to see.
[Lara.]
What if she didn't kill anyone? What? Isn't it there? There are 8 TB of data.
You think I've looked through it all? So, what about Arisa? She cost me too much.
Then I'll take the money.
Sure.
As soon as we look through the footage.
[ominous music playing.]
[Lev.]
So the Liquidators have Alla and Sonya? [Georgy.]
Yes.
And they want the bot in exchange.
[Lev.]
Are you sure your CCD detective is coming? [Georgy.]
Lev, you saw me forward him the information.
Lara had a chat with Arisa.
[Georgy.]
And? [plays recording.]
[Lev.]
Are you sure your CCD detective is coming? [Georgy.]
Lev, you saw me forward him the information.
Funny, isn't it, Safronov? Seems you didn't save Zhanna, but got her shot in the first place.
What now? Here's the deal, Doc.
When you're ready, introduce yourself and tell us how Arisa kills humans.
About Cronos and its owner.
- Why do you need that? - To be more persuasive.
And if I refuse? - Then - Then what? You kill me? You have 30 minutes to make up your mind.
[footsteps receding.]
- Lara.
- Shut up, or I'll change my mind.
Shit, it's stuck.
In a hurry? I'm done here.
Transfer the money.
Then I'll go.
That's why I'm here.
- Everything OK? - Yeah.
I don't think so.
Listen.
You shouldn't kill her.
She's unique.
OK.
Do what you want.
I shouldn't have tried.
[metallic cracking.]
[crunching bone.]
[crack.]
- Is he alive? - Yes.
[tense music playing.]
[relaxing music playing.]
Put it there.
Shall I serve dinner? We are having duck confit with new potatoes.
Where's Sveta? Mrs.
Svetlana has been in her room for three hours and 44 minutes.
I assume she is asleep.
Right.
Bring me some ice.
As you wish.
Where is he? In the crate.
- Call Dad.
- [bleep.]
[sinister music playing.]
Time to call Daddy? Go ahead.
What will you say? That you took my son and killed him.
Your bracelet.
Give it to me.
Sir, you asked for ice.
Shall I come up? Yeah, sure.
Bring a rope, too.
Stop! [ringtone.]
- [male voice.]
Svetlana did not pick up.
- Dial again.
- Sorry, I don't understand.
- Dial again! [dial tone.]
What's wrong? I can't leave without my family.
[key in lock.]
- Come on.
- Excuse me? Is this a rescue mission? [Lara.]
Too many questions.
She needs you.
[pulsing music playing.]
[engine revving.]
[soft breathing.]
[whimpering.]
[sighs.]
I loved you, Sveta.
I loved you so much.
Say something.
You don't believe me? - [Sveta moans.]
- I did.
Then you ruined everything.
You put my son on Safronov's operating table.
Your father wouldn't let it go, either.
He kept sending me to do his dirty work.
After all these years he still takes me for a sucker.
Never mind.
His time will come.
When the grant money comes I will [whistles.]
I'll fly away.
And he will have to explain to the Ministry how come there is only one Arisa and why his factory can only produce potties.
Yes, Svetlana.
This Arisa business was a con right from the start.
The Early Retirement Program mass producing the bots Never mind.
I'll get the money and fly away.
But I won't tell you where to.
You will have to move out.
I'm sure your dad will be happy to know that his daughter is back in the nuthouse.
What can I do, Sveta? You attacked your own husband and tried to kill him.
You don't believe me? Look.
[muffled screaming.]
God, that hurts.
I was lucky that you missed the artery.
[sirens approaching.]
That's for you.
I need to let in our dear guests.
Don't go anywhere.
[sobbing.]
[sirens outside.]
[muffled sobbing.]
[male voice.]
Attention, please.
Train 593 to Moscow is now arriving at Platform 1.
The train will leave in three minutes.
Are you going To Scarborough Fair? Parsley, sage Rosemary and thyme Remember me To one who lives there She once was A true love of mine
[female voice.]
$500,000 transferred to your account.
Thank you.
So how did it go? I didn't talk about the shooting in detail.
Just in general.
I have to file a report with the department chief.
Say that your partner was killed by Safronov.
That will put the entire force on his case.
Exactly.
And they'll be trying to shoot him on arrest.
Yes, but what if they bring him in? He'll go into custody, and I'll make sure he never comes out.

[Zhanna.]
Don't just stand there.
How are you feeling? What do you think? It's OK.
You'll get better soon.
How? I brought your jacket.
It's cold in here.
[gasps in pain.]
Lie down.
Come on.
Lie down.
Hold on.
I'll be right back.
- Vulture, you're staying.
- Why? Because I said so.
Keep an eye on Doc.
- Got it.
- Better lock him up.
Bars, wait.
Zhanna Should we take her to the hospital? They'll put her in an orphanage.
Watch Safronov.
Bars.
Zhanna has got worse.
She needs painkillers.
That's why we're going out.
Take care of Zhanna.
I'm counting on you.
- Come on.
- I'll stay with her.
I need you.
Vulture, find them some new clothes.
She stands out.

Yes, but first we need to go back.
We're not going back.
Too dangerous.
We barely escaped.
Egor is with his dad.
Think about Sonya.
Yeah.
You're right.

40 LITERS.
217 POINTS [ping.]
[phone beeps.]
Something wrong? Yes.
We're going back.
[eerie percussive music playing.]
What's this? [Arisa.]
A bullet.

Cool.
I don't understand.
It was a compliment.
I need to download your memory.
Where is the port? How do I plug in? You are not an authorized user.
You don't have access.
That's why I asked.
Unfortunately, it is impossible.
- Why? - You are not an authorized user.
Cut it out.
What is it you want me to cut? If you don't tell me where the slot is, I'll be forced to use this.
You are trying to apply the Third Law of Robotics.
But I don't abide by those laws.
Shit! You're tougher than I thought.
Thank you.
Fine.
Let's talk.
What do you want? I need to make sure my family is safe.
What's up? - Nothing.
- I'm the one working with her.
Bars told me to change her clothes.
Plesheyeva, what's going on? I'm cut off from the world.
They let me make one call, I called the office, but no one answered.
And neither did you.
What's wrong? Are you OK? [Ira.]
Yes.
Just tired.
How is Safronov? Do we have the bot? And the contents of the memory? Not yet.
You realize Toropov will escape if he finds out that we have Arisa? Who is it? Volodya.
Petrenko.
[mournful music playing.]
How did it happen? He went to the rendezvous point with Suponev.
There was a shootout, and Stas claims Safronov killed Petrenko.
Hey, Safronov or whatever your name is.
Who are you? Arisa says hi.
She wants to be sure you're OK.
Do I look OK? Just checking you're alive.
[phone camera clicks.]

[heavy breathing.]

Shit! - [Lara.]
How did you do it? - What? Persuade the bot you were her family.
Actually, she persuaded me.
Doc! Zhanna is getting worse.
I think she's dying.
It's shock.
Cardiac arrest.
- What do we do? - Help me.
Lift her.
- Can you count? - Yeah.
Start counting.
1001, 1002, 1003 Is something wrong? Zhanna's screwed.
Screwed? She's dying.
Why are you leaving? You want me to wait for Bars to come back? I have enough on my plate.
- Release me.
I can help.
- Why would I? Don't you care about anyone more than you care about yourself? 3001, 3002, 3003.
- 3001, 3002, 3003.
- Georgy, step away.
- Arisa, not now.
- Georgy.
[defibrillator humming.]
Heart rate, 60.
Body temperature, 39.
5 C.
Blood pressure, 90/60.
- Thank you.
- You really want to destroy that bot? Sit down.
Keep taking her vitals.
This wasn't part of the deal.
Bars told us to download her memory and keep her away from Zhanna.
No problem.
I can work here.
[Vulture.]
OK.
I'll chain her up.
Bars, we passed three pharmacies.
Why didn't we stop? Right! We go in and say, "Miss, we need to extract a bullet.
Give us a couple of Fentanyls without a prescription.
" So where are we going? To the vet's.
- I worked there until a bot replaced me.
- Bars, what's going on? We're here.
Get out.
Now let's go to the vet's.
Egor! It's over.
Everything's going to be OK.
You're safe.
Did Dad fix it? It doesn't matter.
We'll go away and forget about this nightmare.
- I'm not going.
- Why? Mom, Zhanna is sick.
I can't leave her.
Alla, please wait in the car.
Egor, I do understand.
Your girlfriend is in trouble, and you don't want to go.
I have a woman I love.
Your mother.
She won't leave without you.
I can't force you.
All I can do is ask.
Please help me get your mom and Sonya to safety.
As soon as we get to Australia, I'll book you a return ticket if you still want it.
But now I'm asking you to think of your family.
[mournful music playing.]
[mournful music continues.]
So where's that romantic guy who was always with Zhanna? That's my son.
I arranged for him to be taken to his mom.
That was a mistake.
You should have arranged for Alla to send Sonya to us.
That would restore balance to the system.
- [Lara.]
The system? - A family is a system.
All elements have to be in place.
- Does she think she's your wife? - She thinks too much.
[Georgy.]
Arisa.
Arisa? Heart rate, 90.
Body temperature, 36.
4 C.
Blood pressure, 90/60.
How does she do it? [ominous music playing.]
[Noob.]
We used to smoke out here.
Bars.
Why don't we destroy their bots? Forget it.
No monkey business.
We go in, take the instruments and meds, and leave.
Go, go Stop.
The supplies room is over there.
Bars, go with Moose.
The rest follow me to get the instruments.
[Moose.]
I've got bandages.
Got saline.
Let's go.
Instruments.
Bag them up.
[Lara.]
It's not easy to get into her brain.
This interface is tricky.
- I need a drill.
- Don't you dare! - Who's going to monitor the girl? - Not my problem.
I'm paid for my patient and you, for yours.
[Georgy.]
I'm not doing this for money.
Are you trying to guilt trip me? Some need money to live, others, to survive.
See the difference? Doctor What do you specialize in? - I'm a forensic pathologist.
- Seriously? No.
But if her brother doesn't bring the meds soon, that will be the only doctor she needs.
Well Noob, what are you doing? Beard, you're on lookout.
We're here on business.
What does it look like? Killing these freaks is what Liquidators do.
Are you fucking nuts? There are plenty of bots out there.
Those bots are another matter.
These are the ones that lost me my job.
You need meds? Go look for them.
Meanwhile, me and the guys You and the guys will do what I tell you to do.
Got it? [Beard.]
Bars! The cops! We sneak out and leave.
Sneak out and leave? How are we supposed to do that? I'm going alone.
What the hell? Are you abandoning us here? Then come with me.
What are you doing? No.
We'll stay and wait for the cops to leave.
[Moose.]
Speak for yourself.
What do you mean? - I don't get it.
- Which part? My sister is there.
And she's more important to you than us.
Have you lost your mind? Guys, you hear that? His sister is more important.
- Relax, bro.
- No.
Don't tell me to relax.
- If your sister is more important - I'll shoot you, you bastard.
[cocks pistol.]
Calm down, Bars.
Take it easy.
Alright.
Whoever wants to go with me, let's go.
The others can wait with Noob for the cops to leave.
Anyone? OK.
Moose, let's go.
Remember that joke about Natasha Rostova? The one you told yesterday? Anyway, Natasha was hanging out with the lieutenant [engine starts.]
Shit.
How much longer? I believe you need to take a break and relax.
Oh? Why do you care? Your vital signs are diverging from the norm.
When was your last medical checkup? Listen, if you want to treat someone, treat her.
Don't be rude.
She's trying to help.
So I'm surrounded by altruists working for free! You don't think they told me she was a killer, and you were hiding her? - You don't know what you're talking about.
- Guess I misunderstood.
She was just helping people to get to heaven! [Arisa.]
I was helping my family.
Protecting those I am supposed to take care of.
Why should I believe you? You shouldn't.
Just bear in mind that after you download my memory, I will be destroyed.
Come on.
You're afraid of death? I am afraid that after my destruction, I will be unable to take care of Georgy, Egor, and Sonya.
Sonya is my youngest.
They became good friends.
A killer and a nanny.
What a great combination.
You'll understand once you have kids.
Understand what? What will I understand? Georgy, Zhanna isn't stable anymore.
Irregular heart rate, blood pressure dropping.
Shit.
OK.
That's it.
- [Vulture.]
Hey! Hey! Where are you going? - The hospital.
- Bars told us to wait here.
- Wait for her to die? - Put her down.
- Move.
- Put her down.
- Out of my way! - Put her down.
- Will you shoot? - Don't push me.
- Shoot.
Go ahead.
- Put her down! - Yo! What the hell is this? Mr.
Toropov, you and the Cronos company although the two are now pretty much synonymous have always been known for your ambitious robotics projects.
But yesterday you showed us something quite unique.
What did we see and how will it influence our lives? I'm glad to hear that you recognize the significance of this event.
Cronos's victory is something that our fellow countrymen have yet to understand.
And this is just the beginning.
So you're saying that you plan to go even further? What should we expect? Something humanity has always strived for.
Happiness, prosperity Because Arisa is more than just another commercial project.
We are not after short-term profits.
Arisa and bots like her will be able to elevate humanity to an entirely new level.
[Georgy.]
Lights! What do you mean, impossible? I mean it's impossible to download her memory.
If it was just the code, it would be easy.
But her memory core is protected at hardware level.
You mean the developers didn't design any system access? I don't know.
Ask them.
I'm not paying them, I'm paying you.
No memory, no money.
Isn't the time I wasted here worth something? - Bars, you're forgetting.
- What? Egor.
I need to know he's OK.
Vulture.
[dial tone.]
Hi.
How are you guys? - Egor? - We're leaving.
Egor, too.
Egor, I'll call you as soon as I finish the surgery.
Zhanna will be fine, I promise.
[bleep.]
Where's the blood? Use mine.
We're the same blood type.
Ever heard of Rhesus factor? You know what happens if you're wrong? I'm not wrong.
Get to it.
Hold this.
[tense music playing.]
Arisa, I need to know her vitals.
- I can show them on a monitor.
- Do that.
[Lara.]
Use mine.
Put it where I can see it.
Tell us more about Arisa's unique features.
It's simple.
Arisa is the first empathic bot, meaning she can not only serve humans but also recognize their feelings and emotions, and understand them.
You mean she is almost human? Not exactly.
Of course, Arisa is much closer to us than our competitors' robots and, perhaps, the competitors themselves.
Yes, but humans typically display other characteristics, and emotions such as aggression even a desire to kill their peers.
Is there anything like that in Arisa? The answer is, certainly not.
The Laws of Robotics are still intact.
Whatever you may have heard is just baseless rumor.
The truth is that our competitors are trying to undermine our company.
[journalist.]
Can you reveal their names? No.
I'm just saying that the truth will always out.
Especially when the lie is so ridiculous.
Thank you.
We will wait, and hopefully see that there's a happy resolution to this complex situation.
Thanks.
- Thanks.
- Thank you.
This is for you.
From our company.
[Alexey.]
You did great.
Smooth as silk.
You can do it when you want to.
- Is this - Yes, it is.
A gift certificate for one Arisa.
You'll be among the first owners when we start mass production.
Thank you.
- [ringtone.]
- The minister.
I have to take this.
When will mass production start? As soon as the funding comes through.
You won't have to wait long.
Don't worry about Arisa.
- You'll be safe with her.
- Thank you.
- Goodbye.
- Bye.
[ringtone.]
Vic, hi.
Since when do you call me first? Sorry.
It's about Borya.
[Vic.]
Don't we have any backups? [Maslo.]
I can restore his memory, but the body It was custom-made.
It short-circuited.
We need a new body.
Do we have any left in the kindergarten? After the ban on child bots you told us to get rid of them.
That was smart but short-sighted.
OK.
Let's take the smallest bot and put this head on him.
Impossible.
Our shortest bot is five feet tall.
She can't see him like this.
Of course not.
Svetlana would go crazy.
You think she'd really lose it? She's a mother.
And this is a monster, not your son.
Not my son, anyway.
OK.
I'll figure something out.
She'll go nuts [Lara.]
Oh, look who's back.
How is Zhanna? Zhanna is stable.
She is currently on painkillers.
Where are Vulture and Safronov? They went to eat.
You should too.
He got his sister into this mess and now he pretends to be a doting brother.
Giving her his blood.
It's ridiculous.
[Arisa.]
Lara.
Please stop doing this.
What do you mean? It was necessary for me to connect to your device.
You took advantage and started downloading files from my memory.
Why didn't you disconnect? The success of the surgery and Zhanna's life depended on it.
Lara.
Don't hand over my memory to Bars.
It's a matter of life or death for me.
Darling, you don't understand.
It's life or death for me, too.
[taser crackles.]
[crackling.]
I called Noob.
He's not coming back.
So? Something went wrong.
People are jumping ship.
It's the rats who are jumping, Moose.
The humans stay.
If you want to call yourself human, you need to - Are you OK? - Step back.
[Bars.]
Yeah, yeah.
[Vulture.]
I'll get some tea with sugar.
I'm fine.
Thanks.
- A keepsake for your sister.
- [Bars.]
OK.
Who were those masked people that shot at us? How should I know? Toropov's men, probably.
Toropov? Funny.
Were they after me or after you? What do you mean? Only you and I knew about the meeting.
I know I didn't tell anyone.
They must have been following one of us.
You have Arisa.
Your sister is more or less fine.
I kept my side of the bargain.
Sorry, I have to go.
Yes, you have to go to our suite, Safronov.
[crackling.]
Egor, do you miss Daddy? Well Do you want an orange? An apple? Let me read you a story.
I'll go get your book.
MINSK BELARUS Lev, you realize I won't stay in Australia without Egor? What else could I have done? I couldn't just shove him in the trunk.
[Alla.]
You're right.
[Lev.]
Get the papers.
I'm booking tickets.
Sure.
Wake up.
Time to cough up my money.
- Did you download it? - Open your eyes.
Great.
I don't care about money.
It was worth it.
- You don't have to pay me today.
- What? Yeah.
Do me a favor.
What do you want? Give me Arisa.
Now you need her too? Why not? I'll study her code in case I need to hack into a bot like her.
You won't.
There won't be any bots like her.
There will.
And someone will make a shitload of money.
Will you sell her on the black market? Why do you care? You'll just break her and dump her.
Yeah.
The key word is "break.
" In front of the public.
I'll post it online, together with the recording of her murders, for everyone to see.
[Lara.]
What if she didn't kill anyone? What? Isn't it there? There are 8 TB of data.
You think I've looked through it all? So, what about Arisa? She cost me too much.
Then I'll take the money.
Sure.
As soon as we look through the footage.
[ominous music playing.]
[Lev.]
So the Liquidators have Alla and Sonya? [Georgy.]
Yes.
And they want the bot in exchange.
[Lev.]
Are you sure your CCD detective is coming? [Georgy.]
Lev, you saw me forward him the information.
Lara had a chat with Arisa.
[Georgy.]
And? [plays recording.]
[Lev.]
Are you sure your CCD detective is coming? [Georgy.]
Lev, you saw me forward him the information.
Funny, isn't it, Safronov? Seems you didn't save Zhanna, but got her shot in the first place.
What now? Here's the deal, Doc.
When you're ready, introduce yourself and tell us how Arisa kills humans.
About Cronos and its owner.
- Why do you need that? - To be more persuasive.
And if I refuse? - Then - Then what? You kill me? You have 30 minutes to make up your mind.
[footsteps receding.]
- Lara.
- Shut up, or I'll change my mind.
Shit, it's stuck.
In a hurry? I'm done here.
Transfer the money.
Then I'll go.
That's why I'm here.
- Everything OK? - Yeah.
I don't think so.
Listen.
You shouldn't kill her.
She's unique.
OK.
Do what you want.
I shouldn't have tried.
[metallic cracking.]
[crunching bone.]
[crack.]
- Is he alive? - Yes.
[tense music playing.]
[relaxing music playing.]
Put it there.
Shall I serve dinner? We are having duck confit with new potatoes.
Where's Sveta? Mrs.
Svetlana has been in her room for three hours and 44 minutes.
I assume she is asleep.
Right.
Bring me some ice.
As you wish.
Where is he? In the crate.
- Call Dad.
- [bleep.]
[sinister music playing.]
Time to call Daddy? Go ahead.
What will you say? That you took my son and killed him.
Your bracelet.
Give it to me.
Sir, you asked for ice.
Shall I come up? Yeah, sure.
Bring a rope, too.
Stop! [ringtone.]
- [male voice.]
Svetlana did not pick up.
- Dial again.
- Sorry, I don't understand.
- Dial again! [dial tone.]
What's wrong? I can't leave without my family.
[key in lock.]
- Come on.
- Excuse me? Is this a rescue mission? [Lara.]
Too many questions.
She needs you.
[pulsing music playing.]
[engine revving.]
[soft breathing.]
[whimpering.]
[sighs.]
I loved you, Sveta.
I loved you so much.
Say something.
You don't believe me? - [Sveta moans.]
- I did.
Then you ruined everything.
You put my son on Safronov's operating table.
Your father wouldn't let it go, either.
He kept sending me to do his dirty work.
After all these years he still takes me for a sucker.
Never mind.
His time will come.
When the grant money comes I will [whistles.]
I'll fly away.
And he will have to explain to the Ministry how come there is only one Arisa and why his factory can only produce potties.
Yes, Svetlana.
This Arisa business was a con right from the start.
The Early Retirement Program mass producing the bots Never mind.
I'll get the money and fly away.
But I won't tell you where to.
You will have to move out.
I'm sure your dad will be happy to know that his daughter is back in the nuthouse.
What can I do, Sveta? You attacked your own husband and tried to kill him.
You don't believe me? Look.
[muffled screaming.]
God, that hurts.
I was lucky that you missed the artery.
[sirens approaching.]
That's for you.
I need to let in our dear guests.
Don't go anywhere.
[sobbing.]
[sirens outside.]
[muffled sobbing.]
[male voice.]
Attention, please.
Train 593 to Moscow is now arriving at Platform 1.
The train will leave in three minutes.
