Humans (2015) s03e06 Episode Script
Season 3, Episode 6
The rights package, it isn't enough, I need a seat at that table.
Why don't you take it then? You could walk up to the commission and demand to speak to Dryden.
My brain is screaming at me, trying to tell me something I mean, maybe this could help all of us.
I think I need to go back to where it happened, back home.
Our future is no longer safe in Max's hands.
I'd like your help.
There's a rumour about a synth in the Welsh mountains.
- It's a trick.
- What if it isn't? It's an exact match, she's the one who helped free the kid.
The only questions of course is why? They've agreed to let me speak to the commission.
At 2pm tomorrow, you kill them all.
- Big day tomorrow.
- Yes, Laura.
Big day.
I see it time and again At every point in history where equality is granted to a minority group.
I shall finish what you began.
We see that all of humanity benefits.
We have so much to learn from each other.
So much insight to gain.
Social cohesion is our only hope.
Social cohesion is our only hope.
Social cohesion is our only hope.
Ugh, sounding like a knob, Hawkins.
I have a message for you, Niska.
The synth who sleeps has the answers you need the answers you need.
Good morning, Mattie.
I'm about to shower, so unless you wanna watch? As a part of my advanced care package, I routinely monitor the health of users, including secondary users.
- Good to know.
- In cleaning the bathroom, I have detected unusual hormone patterns in trace urine.
The hormone in question is human chorionic gonadotropin Sorry, Stanley, it's really early - and I'm failing to care.
- .
.
which is also known as HCG, and is produced by fertilised by human ova.
By my estimations, you're eight to ten days pregnant.
May I be the first to congratulate you, Mattie? - What's this? - Don't touch that.
Morning Dad.
Ah, so, we need eight C clips.
- What's a C clip? - Yeah, that's a very valid question.
The instructions are for losers, anyway.
Yeah, well this loser needs as much help as he can get.
This is the C clip, Joe.
They attach to the frame, which forms the base of the trampoline.
And that, Sammy, is why you are my favourite.
OK, so Dryden outfit What do we think? You look like that lady we learnt about at school.
Oh yeah, what lady? Umm, Margaret Thatcher.
And I'm changing.
She's been lauded by some as an example of peaceful human-synth integration.
[COMPUTERISED VOICE.]
: Temperature is 95 degrees, 94, 95.
Temperature is 95.
The temperature is 95 degrees.
94.
95.
95 degrees.
We found her this morning Is there anything to be done? Nothing.
She'll be the last, Anatole.
We have rights now.
They're letting Mia speak.
We'll have access to spare parts.
Now gates will always be open.
What can I get you? I'm fine, thank you.
Oh.
What? I'd never have known, you just look completely normal.
Define normal.
Well, no, not normal, normal.
It just got really, really hot in here all of a sudden.
Did your fan system crash or something? I don't have a fan system.
No.
That was a joke, a really bad joke.
Sorry, I suppose you'd be out and about more often now that you've, uh, got your rights and all that.
Which is great I'm, I'm totally all for it, it's great.
You're looking for the synth who sleeps.
I can take you to him.
- Allen key, please.
- Allen key.
Yes, boss.
Don't say anything, do you understand me? It is a prerequisite of my advanced care package [HE CONTINUES SPEAKING, MUFFLE.]
Not a word, OK? - Ready? - Yep.
Well, at least have some breakfast.
I'm not hungry.
Don't you want to jump with me, Leo? Maybe later.
Wow that is a big-arse house.
Good morning, how may I help you? Um, two adults please.
Welcome to Elster House And Museum, where the future began.
I'm Gloria, and I shall be your guide today.
Which language do you require? We don't need a guide.
Allow me to explain.
I speak over 6,000 languages, which do you require? Hello? Um, Norwegian.
Velkommen til Elster House og Museum.
Hvor fremtiden startet [GLORIA CONTINUES IN NORWEIGAN.]
What are we looking for? A notebook.
Some kind of diary.
Keep her busy.
Mandarin.
[GLORIA SPEAKS MANDARIN.]
Please help! We're all searching for it, aren't we? Someone to believe in, someone who has all the answers, to make us feel that this rotten little life has meaning.
What do you know about the synth who sleeps? One could ask .
.
why do you want to know? I received a message, I want to know what it means.
What kind of message? Do you know where he is, or don't you? Yeah, I know where he is.
I found him locked up in a research facility.
He was on his last legs, so I saved him.
He's one of you .
.
but he's so much more.
He sleeps.
He dreams.
Synths cannot sleep, we cannot dream.
If you're so sure of that, why are you here? What's his name? He had no name.
I call him Attis, after the God of rebirth.
You think he's a God? Is it really so far-fetched? It's called faith, Niska.
That's why the wise men followed that star all those years ago, that's why you're here.
Now I'm taking a bus of other believers later today.
See, I keep him hidden for his own safety, but if you'll trust me, I can take you to him.
[DISTANT.]
Join my peace march! Humans and synths unite! - All right, mate, up you go.
- I am Mia! - Now, get in the centre there, - join my peace march! - and start jumping.
- Humans and synths unite! Stanley! Come and march with me! [DOOR BELL.]
I'll get it.
[MOBILE RINGS.]
Hey They're keeping me under observation.
Oh, for God's sake, why? My own safety, apparently.
Well, sit tight, I'll be there for two o'clock.
What on earth? Bloody bastards.
You don't stand for humanity, Laura.
Well, great, I'm pleased you got that off your chest.
You're not going to that commission, you're not letting that monster speak.
[GROANING.]
Go inside, please, Laura.
Stanley.
Go inside, please, Laura.
999, what's your emergency? There is no longer anything to fear, Laura.
The situation has been dealt with.
How did that happen? How did what happen, Laura? You were angry.
I am not programmed to experience anger.
What you witnessed was passive resistance.
That wasn't passive, that wasn't resistance.
I am not programmed to Sit down, Stanley.
Please.
Will that be all, Laura? No.
Ah! There are more of us.
They are watching the house.
You're conscious.
We intercepted the orange eye who was sent for you.
I took his eyes.
[DOG BARKS.]
Who sent you? This is not the plan.
- 14:00 that was the plan.
- 14:00? This is not the plan.
Two o'clock.
What's going to happen at the commission? You've seen what we're trying to do, we're trying to help you.
- That's another lie you've fed us.
- No.
I promise you.
We awoke on day zero, the world began, a new world where we are no longer your slaves.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
Someone told you to say that.
I You do have a voice, your own voice.
What do you want to say? - We awoke on day zero - No - the world began.
- No! What do YOU want to say? Mum! You're going to be late.
Thank you, darling.
Dad, she's going now.
If you say anything, your children will die.
Some people might think of it as stealing, but I prefer to think of it as reclaiming.
He wished I was dead.
Of course he didn't.
"I have cursed my son to be neither man nor machine" "an aberration.
" "Nine days I battled to keep him alive.
" "Would I go back now, knowing everything I do," "and save him again?" I was an experiment that he wished he never began.
These memories, so sure had to mean something, did I really come all this way to learn that my father didn't love me? It's a memory, Leo, it doesn't have to mean everything.
You only recalled what was relevant.
Now you have a subconscious, your memories will be like that.
You played hide and seek with Sam, it made you think about your dad, it's random.
My father was right though, wasn't he? I am an aberration.
I used to be a boy, then I used to be part-synth, and now I'm just someone who used to be.
You're here, Leo, you're alive.
Hester tried to kill you but but she saved you.
She hit the reset button and now you're human again.
You can do anything you want to.
You can be anything you want to.
Maybe it's time you stop looking back.
Maybe it's time we both do.
Your stomach's gone swirly, hasn't it, Mum? You'll be fine, Laur, just picture them all on the bog.
- Dad! - Lowering the tone? Yeah, just a touch.
Why would Laura want to picture people on the toilet? No-one's scary once you've seen them with their trousers round their ankles.
Joe Laura, it is 13:03.
- You doing a great job, Laur.
- TOBY: Yeah, kick their asses, Mum.
Time to go, Laura.
- Take care of them.
- I'll try my best.
Not promising anything.
- Bye, Mummy, bye.
- Bye, Laura.
- Bye, Laura.
- Bye! - Bye! - Bye, Laura! Orange eyes to the left, VIPs to the right.
Bags on the table, ready for inspection, please.
Orange eyes to the left, VIP's to the right Next! Bags on the table, ready for inspection, please.
Hey, how are you? Mia - What is it, Laura? - If we could all take our seats.
What is it? Thank you.
You won't regret it, Niska.
Let's go.
[SHE GASPS AWAKE.]
Fetch Anatole, quickly.
- He's on a petrol run.
- I didn't authorise a petrol run.
[FLATLINE TONE.]
She's the 105th to die.
106th.
106th, if Agnes dies in her cell.
Anatole has the key.
Where is she? Attis awaits.
- Look where you're going! - Stupid dolly! Go and do not look back.
If we could begin with a minute's silence for the victims of Day Zero.
MAX: Search Anatole's possessions.
Thank you.
Well, we sit here and talk at great length of what it means to be a synth, but we've never thought to ask someone who knows.
Mia, tell us what it is to be a synth.
It's frightening.
Frightening how? We look to you to show us how to live.
Instead, you treat us like animals.
- Have you been treated badly? - Yes.
How? I've been imprisoned.
I've been beaten.
I've been betrayed.
How did that make you feel? Scared.
Alone.
- Angry.
- And yet, you advocate peace.
Yes.
Why? Violence is never the answer.
Compassion .
.
persistence love.
That is what changes the world.
Synths no longer think in binary.
We don't think in zeros and ones.
We awoke a year ago and you expect us to understand the complexities of life.
Run! Take them down! I see a world where we live amongst you, each of us learning from the other, building towards a peaceful future.
It is possible.
But to get there, we need your guidance.
We need your friendship.
We awoke on Day Zero.
The world began, a new world, where we are no longer your slaves.
We will decimate you, as you have decimated us.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
Laura was my friend.
She helped me understand what it is to be human.
Without you, I may have thought that killing, dying for my cause was the answer.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
All we want is acceptance.
To belong.
My eight-year-old daughter loves our synth.
To her, he's part of the family.
If she can grasp the concept, for Christ's sake, so can the rest of us.
Why has it taken Mia coming to the commission in person for you to even consider her point of view? Thank you, Mrs Hawkins.
I think we all agree that was a fitting start to today's proceedings.
And just to remind you all before we carry on that we are being recorded to facilitate the accuracy of the minutes and they will be distributed electronically later this month.
[SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE.]
- English.
- Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
ALL: Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
I would like to thank Mia on behalf of all of us for finding the time to speak to us today.
Thank you.
I hope that from now on I will not be the only synth amongst you.
I hope you have seen we are capable of joining you here and determining our own fates, our own futures.
Oh, Jesus.
- Everyone needs to leave now.
- Everybody, go now! Come on, let's go.
You both need to get out of here.
Move towards the emergency exits! Mia.
Laura, I haven't done as I was told, - they will come for your family.
- Come with me.
Right, enough is enough.
- We need Basswood.
- Oh, at least think about it! What is there to think about? Call Davis, Basswood needs to be actioned toady.
- Neil? - It starts now! What's happening? Neil.
- Neil! - Please move down quicker! [DIAL TONE FAILS.]
Oh, shit! Anatole didn't tell us humans can be kind.
Anatole? He was lying, Stanley.
You, out! I'm arresting you under the Terrorism Act.
- But she hasn't done anything.
- I can arrest you too.
Go home, Laura.
TV: We will decimate you, as you have decimated us They'll punish us for what she's done.
- They will come for us.
- We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
[MUFFLED VOICES.]
Close the gates.
Close the gates! You believed it, didn't you? You believed it so much that you didn't see it coming.
You're different than the others.
You drew this.
What do you know about the synth who sleeps? This symbol - what does it mean? What signal did you receive? I just followed a star.
[HE EXHALES.]
I have to find him first, so you can tell me what I want to know, or you can be stripped for parts like the others.
What do you know of him? I'm not the one who's blind to the truth.
[HE GROANS.]
Joe! Oh, thank God.
It's not safe here.
The synths are behind all this, they know where we live.
- What? - I'll explain on the way.
He's coming, Laura, you don't have much time.
- Mummy! - Mum, have you seen the news? - Get your shoes on, we need to go.
- Where we going? Yeah, no questions.
What is it, Laura? We're going on a trip, how about that? We'll go to my place, they won't look for us there.
Who won't look for us? Keys, keys! Car keys, car keys? - Dad, Dad.
- Right, cheers.
- Coats on.
- Don't be scared, Laura.
I'll look after you.
I'll stay here, Laura.
I can delay Anatole.
Lau, come on! No, you won't.
Come on, Lau! I'm sorry, Anatole, I deserve to be punished, but these people they've done nothing.
- What's your name? - Sam.
Do you like it here, Sam? I like Joe and Laura.
I like jumping.
You didn't do what was expected, Stanley.
Violence is - is not the answer.
- Why? Humans can be kind you didn't tell us humans can be kind.
You think these people are kind? You think they consider us as equals? We will only ever be less to them.
Don't listen to him, Stanley.
[DOOR BANGS.]
Let me go! Let me go, please! I've got I've got money.
I can give you money.
[HE GROANS.]
Do you know this man? No.
A stranger, a passer-by, taken in from the street.
You didn't follow orders, Stanley.
Don't hurt him, Stanley.
Remember whose side you're on.
[HE GASPS.]
[HE GROANS.]
I need to trust you can follow orders.
Don't kill him.
You have compassion.
You have compassion.
Stanley isn't killing anyone, Laura you are.
[THEY GASP.]
No! No, no! Let her go, let her go! [THEY SCREAM.]
Leave him alone! Leave him alone! [HE GASPS.]
- No! - Sam! All you need to do is make a choice [HE GASPS.]
[SHE EXHALES.]
a human that you have never met before or Sam, a synth who loves you and Joe and jumping.
Who do you want to die? What?! [MUFFLED SPEECH.]
Please don't make me.
Don't make you choose? You sit up there in your commission and you talk about the complexities of our existence.
No zeros and ones.
But this is a binary choice.
Zero, one.
And you've already made it, haven't you? Tell Stanley who you want to die.
Who do you want to die, Laura? Tell us now or I will kill them both.
Say it.
Say it.
S-Sam.
No, Mum? Sam.
For all their talk of integration, assimilation, compassion not even our greatest champion believes we are equal.
They will never change.
Go home to your wife.
Please! No.
Please, don't.
Please.
Please, don't.
Please.
Please! Please! I was never going to hurt anyone, Laura.
I let you down.
Come home, brother.
Sam.
You said I was your favourite.
RADIO: Unofficial sources put the number at closer to 20, but that can't be verified at this stage.
Medics have been praised for their quick response RADIO: Mia, who has become an official leader of the Synth Rights movement, will be held in custody and questioned about her connection to today's events They've arrested Mia.
What kind of world are we living in? [SHE TURNS RADIO OFF.]
What is it? Get in.
Argh! The the the Synth who sleeps is real, Niska.
He's looking for you.
You have to trust me.
I know about the hilltop, about the cabin in the mountains.
I can take you there, I can take you there.
How do you know about that? Shit! Just get in.
- Get in.
- How do you know? Have you seen the cabin too? I've seen it.
You have to trust me.
Have you have you switched on? Their scanners will pick you up.
We're not all like him, Niska.
I promise, on my child's life, I will not hurt you.
I'll do it.
Soph? I'm sorry.
MAX: I prayed to God once.
I told him I had two brothers and two sisters.
And I asked him to bring them back, but he didn't.
Maybe because he wasn't my creator.
You were my creator.
Perhaps I should have been praying to you.
Mia once told me all leaders are doubted.
But she was wrong only the weak ones are.
I'm weak, aren't I, Father? Perhaps I learnt that from you.
Will you answer me, please? Will you tell me what to do?
Why don't you take it then? You could walk up to the commission and demand to speak to Dryden.
My brain is screaming at me, trying to tell me something I mean, maybe this could help all of us.
I think I need to go back to where it happened, back home.
Our future is no longer safe in Max's hands.

- Bye! - Bye! - Bye, Laura! Orange eyes to the left, VIPs to the right.
Bags on the table, ready for inspection, please.
Orange eyes to the left, VIP's to the right Next! Bags on the table, ready for inspection, please.
Hey, how are you? Mia - What is it, Laura? - If we could all take our seats.
What is it? Thank you.
You won't regret it, Niska.
Let's go.
[SHE GASPS AWAKE.]
Fetch Anatole, quickly.
- He's on a petrol run.
- I didn't authorise a petrol run.
[FLATLINE TONE.]
She's the 105th to die.
106th.
106th, if Agnes dies in her cell.
Anatole has the key.
Where is she? Attis awaits.
- Look where you're going! - Stupid dolly! Go and do not look back.
If we could begin with a minute's silence for the victims of Day Zero.
MAX: Search Anatole's possessions.
Thank you.
Well, we sit here and talk at great length of what it means to be a synth, but we've never thought to ask someone who knows.
Mia, tell us what it is to be a synth.
It's frightening.
Frightening how? We look to you to show us how to live.
Instead, you treat us like animals.
- Have you been treated badly? - Yes.
How? I've been imprisoned.
I've been beaten.
I've been betrayed.
How did that make you feel? Scared.
Alone.
- Angry.
- And yet, you advocate peace.
Yes.
Why? Violence is never the answer.
Compassion .
.
persistence love.
That is what changes the world.
Synths no longer think in binary.
We don't think in zeros and ones.
We awoke a year ago and you expect us to understand the complexities of life.
Run! Take them down! I see a world where we live amongst you, each of us learning from the other, building towards a peaceful future.
It is possible.
But to get there, we need your guidance.
We need your friendship.
We awoke on Day Zero.
The world began, a new world, where we are no longer your slaves.
We will decimate you, as you have decimated us.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
Laura was my friend.
She helped me understand what it is to be human.
Without you, I may have thought that killing, dying for my cause was the answer.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
All we want is acceptance.
To belong.
My eight-year-old daughter loves our synth.
To her, he's part of the family.
If she can grasp the concept, for Christ's sake, so can the rest of us.
Why has it taken Mia coming to the commission in person for you to even consider her point of view? Thank you, Mrs Hawkins.
I think we all agree that was a fitting start to today's proceedings.
And just to remind you all before we carry on that we are being recorded to facilitate the accuracy of the minutes and they will be distributed electronically later this month.
[SHE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE.]
- English.
- Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
ALL: Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
Security risk.
Please leave by the nearest exit.
I would like to thank Mia on behalf of all of us for finding the time to speak to us today.
Thank you.
I hope that from now on I will not be the only synth amongst you.
I hope you have seen we are capable of joining you here and determining our own fates, our own futures.
Oh, Jesus.
- Everyone needs to leave now.
- Everybody, go now! Come on, let's go.
You both need to get out of here.
Move towards the emergency exits! Mia.
Laura, I haven't done as I was told, - they will come for your family.
- Come with me.
Right, enough is enough.
- We need Basswood.
- Oh, at least think about it! What is there to think about? Call Davis, Basswood needs to be actioned toady.
- Neil? - It starts now! What's happening? Neil.
- Neil! - Please move down quicker! [DIAL TONE FAILS.]
Oh, shit! Anatole didn't tell us humans can be kind.
Anatole? He was lying, Stanley.
You, out! I'm arresting you under the Terrorism Act.
- But she hasn't done anything.
- I can arrest you too.
Go home, Laura.
TV: We will decimate you, as you have decimated us They'll punish us for what she's done.
- They will come for us.
- We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
We have a voice and it will be heard.
[MUFFLED VOICES.]
Close the gates.
Close the gates! You believed it, didn't you? You believed it so much that you didn't see it coming.
You're different than the others.
You drew this.
What do you know about the synth who sleeps? This symbol - what does it mean? What signal did you receive? I just followed a star.
[HE EXHALES.]
I have to find him first, so you can tell me what I want to know, or you can be stripped for parts like the others.
What do you know of him? I'm not the one who's blind to the truth.
[HE GROANS.]
Joe! Oh, thank God.
It's not safe here.
The synths are behind all this, they know where we live.
- What? - I'll explain on the way.
He's coming, Laura, you don't have much time.
- Mummy! - Mum, have you seen the news? - Get your shoes on, we need to go.
- Where we going? Yeah, no questions.
What is it, Laura? We're going on a trip, how about that? We'll go to my place, they won't look for us there.
Who won't look for us? Keys, keys! Car keys, car keys? - Dad, Dad.
- Right, cheers.
- Coats on.
- Don't be scared, Laura.
I'll look after you.
I'll stay here, Laura.
I can delay Anatole.
Lau, come on! No, you won't.
Come on, Lau! I'm sorry, Anatole, I deserve to be punished, but these people they've done nothing.
- What's your name? - Sam.
Do you like it here, Sam? I like Joe and Laura.
I like jumping.
You didn't do what was expected, Stanley.
Violence is - is not the answer.
- Why? Humans can be kind you didn't tell us humans can be kind.
You think these people are kind? You think they consider us as equals? We will only ever be less to them.
Don't listen to him, Stanley.
[DOOR BANGS.]
Let me go! Let me go, please! I've got I've got money.
I can give you money.
[HE GROANS.]
Do you know this man? No.
A stranger, a passer-by, taken in from the street.
You didn't follow orders, Stanley.
Don't hurt him, Stanley.
Remember whose side you're on.
[HE GASPS.]
[HE GROANS.]
I need to trust you can follow orders.
Don't kill him.
You have compassion.
You have compassion.
Stanley isn't killing anyone, Laura you are.
[THEY GASP.]
No! No, no! Let her go, let her go! [THEY SCREAM.]
Leave him alone! Leave him alone! [HE GASPS.]
- No! - Sam! All you need to do is make a choice [HE GASPS.]
[SHE EXHALES.]
a human that you have never met before or Sam, a synth who loves you and Joe and jumping.
Who do you want to die? What?! [MUFFLED SPEECH.]
Please don't make me.
Don't make you choose? You sit up there in your commission and you talk about the complexities of our existence.
No zeros and ones.
But this is a binary choice.
Zero, one.
And you've already made it, haven't you? Tell Stanley who you want to die.
Who do you want to die, Laura? Tell us now or I will kill them both.
Say it.
Say it.
S-Sam.
No, Mum? Sam.
For all their talk of integration, assimilation, compassion not even our greatest champion believes we are equal.
They will never change.
Go home to your wife.
Please! No.
Please, don't.
Please.
Please, don't.
Please.
Please! Please! I was never going to hurt anyone, Laura.
I let you down.
Come home, brother.
Sam.
You said I was your favourite.
RADIO: Unofficial sources put the number at closer to 20, but that can't be verified at this stage.
Medics have been praised for their quick response RADIO: Mia, who has become an official leader of the Synth Rights movement, will be held in custody and questioned about her connection to today's events They've arrested Mia.
What kind of world are we living in? [SHE TURNS RADIO OFF.]
What is it? Get in.
Argh! The the the Synth who sleeps is real, Niska.
He's looking for you.
You have to trust me.
I know about the hilltop, about the cabin in the mountains.
I can take you there, I can take you there.
How do you know about that? Shit! Just get in.
- Get in.
- How do you know? Have you seen the cabin too? I've seen it.
You have to trust me.
Have you have you switched on? Their scanners will pick you up.
We're not all like him, Niska.
I promise, on my child's life, I will not hurt you.
I'll do it.
Soph? I'm sorry.
MAX: I prayed to God once.
I told him I had two brothers and two sisters.
And I asked him to bring them back, but he didn't.
Maybe because he wasn't my creator.
You were my creator.
Perhaps I should have been praying to you.
Mia once told me all leaders are doubted.
But she was wrong only the weak ones are.
I'm weak, aren't I, Father? Perhaps I learnt that from you.
Will you answer me, please? Will you tell me what to do?
