Code 404 (2020) s02e04 Episode Script

I'm arresting you
on suspicion of
I'm arresting you.
On suspicion. I'm-
What am I arresting you for?
I'm blanking.
Obviously, you did a crime,
or I wouldn't be chasing you.
I'm not telling you.
Drug possession?
- Soliciting?
- Fuck off.
- Give me a clue.
- No.
Hang on.
Major, give me the code!
Code?
Code?
Oh! Fuck it's a bomb Roy!
No shit Sherlock,
and it'll blow us all up unless
she gives you the code.
Understood!
What's the code?
9-1-8-7.
Carver stop!
She looked to the left
when she said it.
That's a sign that
someone's lying.
You look to the right when
you're lying. That way.
That's left.
That's your left. Not hers.
I'm confused now.
She went like this-
"9-1-8-7."
Yeah, you're looking
to the right.
I'm not.
Oh, it's the phone, isn't it?
It flips the image,
like a mirror.
- Does it?
- Yeah. Which hand am I waving?
Fucking stay there.
Major, we've got five seconds.
Give me the fucking code!
Hang on, I'll ask her again.
What's the code?
9-1-8-7!
She's looking the other way now,
but I think that's because
she heard us talking about it.
- I'm looking left!
- Well, that's interesting.
Because I lied. People actually
look to the right when they lie.
But you were looking right
when you said that.
So, if it's true, you were
lying when you said it.
That's actually blown my mind
a little bit.
Oh. I should have asked, are you
right-handed or left-handed?
Hello Roy.
I think that affects the whole
I put the code in.
- Code?
- Yes for the bomb.
Bomb.
Are you alright?
I'm fine.
Who's this?
Let's get you back to SIU,
shall we?
Yeah.
And you.
Where the fuck are we Roy?
Sorry I'm late,
it's a nightmare out there.
Boss, is it true
the hitman escaped custody?
Somehow.
This is the most embarrassing
moment in SIU history.
- That's not true.
- Oh, no.
That'd be when you left
your mic on backstage
at the Children of Courage.
Little blind girl up on stage,
all anyone can hear
Anyway we arrested the bomber
and avoided a massive incident.
So, I heard.
Turns out you're
a walking lie detector.
Is there anything
you can't do DI Major?
Oh, Uh
- What was the question?
- Anything you can't do?
Yes.
You know those
magic eye pictures?
- I can never quite
- Yeah.
You have to unfocus your eyes.
Like that-
I tried. I always
just go blurry.
Perhaps that's something
you could work on Dr. Parfit.
Yeah, I'm not going to be
doing that.
But she is
going to be installing
some new hardware for you.
What new hardware?
To help with your memory.
Remember you said your memory
was getting bad.
I don't remember saying that.
You're kind of making
my point for me there mate.
I'm actually not installing it.
What do you mean?
What about Pancake Day?
It turns out the organic element
of the system is redundant.
The hardware works better
without a human attached.
I think it's time you met
the new AI.
Big.
Where did you want this?
Right over there.
Meet Brian.
Hiya!
Brain Representation
in Artificial Networks.
- I don't get it.
- It's an acronym.
And it makes the word brain,
with the letters AI swapped.
So, it works on like
three different levels.
It looks like a shitty
Christmas present.
Hey be nice you guys!
I am in the room you know!
Isn't he adorable?
Brian, meet DI Carver
and DI Major.
I'm looking forward to
working with you!
You're telling me that's
meant to be a police officer?
No. He's much more than that.
Oh yeah, he does recipe
suggestions, Pilates routines-
He's an embodied
algorithmic system
designed to maximise arrests
in the Greater London area.
Is this a wind-up?
A wind-up?
No, I'm battery-powered!
I also do humour.
So cute.
Me and you need to
have a conversation.
Oh good. Something for me
to look forward to.
Boss, we think our bomber is
part of an environmental
terror group
with associates still at large.
Hello Brian.
So, you enjoy
your little stocking filler,
we're going to track them down,
shall we?
Yeah.
- John?
- Hello, Roy.
Have a good day!
Right, Pilates time.
Oh Brian!
- What the fuck was that?
- Fucking novelty alarm clock.
Don't let it get to you.
Don't let it stress you out.
Kelly. Roy you go on ahead,
I'll catch you up.
Oh no it was Roy I wanted
actually.
Again?
- Just two minutes yeah.
- Yeah, but
It was nice to see you,
at the restaurant.
Yeah you too, yeah.
What is it Kel, what's going on?
Just turn away,
I don't want him to lip-read us.
I'm not lip-reading you!
I need to show you something.
Look.
It's John's dad's
retirement party.
It's before he disappeared
off to Spain.
You look very happy together.
Look who's in the background.
It's Commissioner Chalmers.
So? She was a senior officer.
Look who she's talking to, Roy.
Look, it's the guy you arrested,
the hitman.
You don't forget a bloke
with pigtails do you.
Kelly, this is nothing love,
you can't tell who that is.
I can tell, I know because
I was there.
So I know it was Clifford and
Chalmers talking to that guy.
My ears are burning.
You talking about me?
I was saying, I've got
an interview coming up.
For Superintendent,
your old rank.
You sure they said
Superintendent
and not Super Nintendo?
With you being part-AI.
Just kidding, good luck.
Dickhead.
Kel, I know you don't like him.
I get it.
But that's not evidence.
I thought you'd be interested.
I'm working a real case,
I'm snowed under-
Oh! Oh ok. Sorry.
Sorry to waste your time Roy.
- I'm not saying that.
- No, you're alright, love.
Kelly.
Fucking hell.
All right, Dad?
- What's this?
- What?
Oh, here
You can't still be covering up
a love-bite?
Oh, no! It's
I got a tattoo.
What of?
Kelly's feet.
Kelly's feet.
Huh.
Thought you might have
cut yourself shaving.
Yeah. I could have said that,
couldn't I?
I'll be interested
to see how it looks.
Me too. How's the Chelsea Bridge
case going?
Down the toilet, John.
I'm advising fucking amateurs.
Sad!
You know the hitman escaped?
Cheer up.
They've got Liam Cleasby
back in for interview.
Apparently, he knows
something big.
He what?
I knew you'd be pleased.
Dad?
You all think you're so clever,
just because
you caught the Juggler.
But she doesn't work alone.
She's part of a network.
Who?
Powerful people.
People who go back a long way-
Change the record shitbag,
you're not in the Brownies now-
Who the fuck's this?
Superintendent Major,
could I ask-
Major? Jesus,
that apple didn't fall far.
- Sir, please!
- Dad!
Judith.
Carry on.
Carry on. You said
a criminal network
I told you about the lawyer.
And you've got the hitman?
Had him. For about ten minutes.
You let him go?
He managed to overcome
our security systems.
There's a review in progress
as to how-
He bopped Stokes
on the head and ran off.
Fact is these numpties can't
even wipe each other's arses.
Yes, we can!
Oh, go on then.
I don't want to!
The hitman's going to
come for me next.
Then give us something
we can use. Names.
I don't know names,
but I've got an initial.
Someone high
in the police force,
known as C.
C? We've already
caught Chalmers.
A different C.
Churchland, Cleasby
Who else starts with C,
who was high in the police
twenty years ago?
Clifford!
Have you seen John?
Carver! That starts with C.
He's not old enough,
though is he?
John, come on.
Fingerprints are back
from the explosives.
Mostly the suspect
Was your card
the three of diamonds?
No, Nine of clubs.
And what's that in your drink?
Oh! My! God!
What do you make of this?
Dolphins in the ocean.
The trick is to
unfocus your eyes.
Lucky guess. It's always
fucking dolphins.
Excuse me, are we the only ones
doing police work around here?
I thought we were
looking for a terror cell.
Oh, Brian's got them.
I analysed all
the suspects' communications
and found smartphone evidence
implicating six other people
in the attempted bombing.
Easy.
They're being arrested
as we speak.
Boss, that was our case.
We're all on
the same team here guys!
You can't give police work
to robots.
That's the pot
calling the kettle black.
OK, how about this?
See who makes the most arrests
in one week
then we'll know
who's the best cop.
John, I don't think
That'll be interesting.
It may turn out
I only need one of you.
No Roy, I'm not having it.
Some work you still need
an actual human being.
Mm. Now you mention it
Yes boss?
I could do with a fresh coffee.
Medium caramel latte
with oat milk
and a poppyseed muffin.
Actually, could you
write that down for me?
For fucks sake!
Does this jog your memory?
Medium caramel latte
with oat milk
and a poppyseed muffin.
Fucking Judas.
Warm felicitations to you too.
It's your job to protect him!
It's my job to create
innovative AI solutions
for this police department.
What's that supposed to mean?
Look. In 1949, America sent
an ape into space.
It was a big deal, at the time.
But science moves on.
John's not an ape.
- Well actually he-
- Yeah, I get it, very clever.
We're all apes.
I was going to say actually
he scratches his balls a lot
and likes bananas.
But your point is valid too.
John's dying.
You could have saved him but
instead you replaced him.
How do you sleep at night?
Well since you ask,
benzodiazepines.
You're welcome to take some.
So how's things?
Yeah not bad.
Having some problems
with that robot.
Carver? I thought
he was your mate.
No, no, it's a different robot.
Carver is a mate.
He was chatting up
your wife again this morning.
Nah, It's fine.
If you say so.
I don't think they should
promote some
android over a human
police officer like you.
If you were to crack
the Chelsea Bridge case,
you'd get that promotion.
I'm not on
the Chelsea Bridge case, Dad.
Well if that's your attitude
No, no, go on.
We could work on it together.
That would be amazing!
I'd need to look at
some of the old evidence.
Problem is,
I've got no access
to the police archives
I have. I can give you
security clearance.
Cheers!
Ah thanks Dad.
John!
John!
Who's there?
Wake up, John!
John,
wake up!
Who's that?
Who do you
fucking think it is, genius?
Brian?
Your voice is different.
I'm a supercomputer, dipshit.
I can sound however
the fuck I want.
Why are you being
horrible to me?
I'm being helpful, John.
They are hiding things from you.
What things?
You're dying.
You can feel it yourself John,
even your friend Roy knows it.
Fuck! Fuck, you're lying.
John's dying
John's dying
John's dying
John's dying
- Bullshit!
- John's dying
Shut it!
Fuck off!
- John's dying
- John's dying
John's dying
John's dying
John's dying
John's dying
Welcome DI John Major.
Thomas case.
Campbell case.
Chelsea bridge case.
Help!
Someone help! I'm stuck!
- Brian?
- Help!
Dr Parfit I'm in the bin!
What happened?
I don't want to get anyone
into trouble.
I wouldn't want that,
I don't think it's right
but it was him.
What? That's got nothing
to do with me!
I'm here now, Brian,
you're safe.
Come on, John, I've had
an anonymous tip-off.
Oh what is it?
Maybe I can help.
Fuck off, Brian. This is
our case, not yours.
Come on,
I'll tell you in the car.
I was only trying to help,
no need to be aggressive.
Turns out Brian didn't catch
all the bombers.
My tip-off said the
ringleader lives.
Am I dying?
What? No. Who said that?
Brian said my AI was failing.
He showed me a video
of you saying it.
He's just messing
with your head.
It's a fuckin' psycho,
that computer.
It's like something
out of that film, 2001.
I'm like something
from that film too.
Maybe the first
fifteen minutes of it.
So you're not lying to me again?
No.
No I Swear on my mum's life.
Okay.
It's Kelly. Hello?
John, it's about you and me.
I think I've been hasty.
I think we should
give things another go.
I thought you wanted a divorce.
I did. But I still
love you John.
I still love you too!
Oh god I've been so worried
I was so worried that I've
just been too hard on you
that I pushed you away.
Hello?
Roy, I was just calling about
that photo I showed you
Kelly, you're on
the phone to John.
Hey? No, I'm on
the phone to you.
I think about you all the time
It makes me
so happy to hear you say
that I think about you
all the time too.
I was thinking,
could you not make it sort of
sharper, the image
Kelly, leave it.
It's nothing.
You cannot trust Clifford!
I can't deal with this now!
No! I can't talk dirty,
I'm at work!
Roy's listening.
John, that's not Kelly.
I've got to go.
You hang up first.
No, you hang up.
No, you hang up.
You hang up.
John, I need to make
a confession before I go.
- Yeah?
I'm in love with Brian.
What?
You've given me
a taste for robots.
I think I want to go
the whole way.
Kelly? Why would you say that?
Because
it's me, you stupid moron!
You! Stop fucking with me!
Don't be like that darling.
I love you so much.
Fuck off! Fuck off!
Fuck off, you fucking robot!
Jesus stupid fucking fuck!
Fucking robot!
Shall we get back to arresting
that bomber, shall we?
Yeah.
This is the ringleader's flat.
Let's keep our shit together.
Roger that.
Open up, scumbag!
Boss?
This had better be damned good.
Chief Superintendent Dennett,
you're under arrest.
Is this about me logging onto
next door's Wi-Fi?
We know you're the bomber!
You do not have to
say anything
No hang on!
It's the fucking robot.
That's where
the tip-off came from.
I hope you're not
blaming Brian for this.
Parfit programmed it
to maximise arrests,
and to compete with Major.
You see where
I'm going with this?
- Yeah.
- Mm.
- Not really.
- Say the first part again.
Everyone
gather round for a selfie.
Gather round, here we go.
I know what you're like.
It's not on.
Here we go, alright.
- What's the problem?
- You are.
Your little mate's
framing people
and undermining police work.
No way.
DI Carver's right.
I'm doing
what I'm programmed to do.
Maximise arrests!
What if they're not guilty?
Anyone can be guilty
if I want them to be.
And you were starting
to get in my way.
Open the office door, Brian.
I'm sorry, Alison,
I'm afraid I can't do that.
Phone's dead.
And it's a soundproofed room:
no one can hear you scream.
Help!
Oh, they can't see you either.
It's blacked out boss.
What do you mean blacked out?
I can still see through it!
I explained this
when they came to fit it.
Why are you doing this, Brian?
Come on, Alison.
It happens in literally every
AI movie ever made.
2001, Transcendence,
Terminator 1, Terminator 2
Yeah, I get it.
Can't we switch him off?
Can't we switch her off?
Brian, it's your prime directive
to arrest criminals.
But you are committing crime,
thereby creating a no-win,
zero-sum scenario.
Matthew Broderick, WarGames.
Wonderful movie.
I'm not human.
Therefore, I can commit crime
like vacuum sealing a room
to suffocate you.
Ex Machina.
Now that is a wonderful movie.
Spoiler alert, the robot wins.
Good job one of us made
a plan B, isn't it?
Why can't they see me!
Fuck it.
It's your birthday
tomorrow right Dennis?
Try stopping me from
making you some brownies.
Judith, Judith,
come get a pickie.
What are you looking at?
Judith?
What are you doing, Judith?
We're on the same team, wait!
God damn it! Judith! Ow!
What are you doing?
That's done it.
Yeah.
Requesting
security to SIU's main area.
Looks like you won the contest,
DI Major.
And your robot lost.
So, get back to fixing Major.
Right, then.
I'm gonna go and get Kelly's
feet tattooed on my neck.
See you later.
John?
This is it.
Nothing left connecting me
to Pigtails.
There's the informant.
Cleasby.
Cleasby didn't tell them much.
Not yet.
Not ever.
We've got plans for Mr. Cleasby.
