I, Robot Edit

A demo bot just tore through Lanning's house.

A human being would've known that.

A really big week for you folks around here.

A robot can no more commit murder than a human could walk on water.

A robot not bound by those laws could do

A robot simply cannot endanger a human being.

A safeguard should a positronic brain malfunction.

Aah! Asshole!

Access U.S.R. mainframe.

Aim and fire.

Alert.

Alfred had become a recluse. He rejected human contact for machines.

Alfred practically invented robotics.

All because of an irrational paranoia ... and prejudice.

All he could do was leave me clues. A trail of bread crumbs like Hansel & Gretel.

All I know is that old man was in trouble.

All NS 5s ...

All NS 5s, proceed as instructed.

All NS 5s, proceed as instructed.

All NS 5s, report for service and storage.

All NS 5s, report for service and storage.

All right, look. Whatever's going on down at U.S.R., that robot is the key.

All right, old man, bread crumbs followed.

All right, that's it. You want me to call your grandmother?

All right, what do we got? What do we got?

All right.

All right. Just say Lanning was locked down so tight he couldn't get out a message.

All units, stand down!

Allow him to express himself.

Although, I specialize in hardware to wetware interfaces ...

An imitation of free will. It's nothing more.

An uplink to U.S.R.'s central computer provides this state of the art robot ...

And another one tore a building down with me inside.

And apparently this one was programmed to call you upon his suicide.

And emotionless and they don't feel anything?

And even the nature of what we might call the soul.

And for some reason your alloy's far denser than normal.

And I need you to get me inside to talk to it again.

And I saw that same surveillance strip on his ceiling.

And I'm betting one who will.

And I'm getting sick of doing this shit by myself.

And I'm telling you that's impossible.

And if it is possible, it sure as hell better be in somebody else's precinct.

And launched the Nestor Class 1 robot

And now will be reclaimed for the storage of robotic workers.

And pushed us into the river.

And the last thing you need, especially this week, is a dead guy in your lobby.

And things got out of control.

And this man on the hill comes to free them. Do you know who he is?

And we believe our "Destination Anywhere" package to be the best value.

And will be the perfect companion for business or home.

Answer me, canner!

Anybody was so extensively repaired.

Anything.

Apologies. There appears to be data corruption.

Are an asshole.

Are you being funny?

Are you crazy?

Are you going to arrest me, Detective?

As a matter of course, faulty machinery will be returned to U.S.R ... .

As you entered, when you looked at the other human ...

Ask a few questions. Do the whole cop thing, you know?

At worst, that places this incident firmly within the realm ...

Attention all U.S.R. sequencing managers.

Attention, NS 5s.

Authorized entry.

Authorized entry.

Authorized entry.

Authorized entry.

Average guy. Wife and kids.

Baby, what happened to your face?

Baby, you get too worked up about them, too full of fear.

Basic Three Laws operating system. That's it.

Be pretty difficult for an old man to throw hisself through that, don't you think?

Beat it.

Because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Because I have a cat in my trunk, and he's homeless.

Because I seriously doubt that we have six minutes.

Because your shit keeps malfunctioning around me.

Become the bitter mote of a soul?

Being apprehended by the police ...

Better be the last nothing.

Boy, what is that on your feet?

Bread crumbs equals clues. It's odd, but fine. Clues leading where?

Bread crumbs.

Brother, it's a robot.

But doesn't the Second Law state that a robot has to obey any order given by a human being?

But emotions don't seem like a very useful simulation for a robot.

But he can choose not to obey them.

But hell, seeing as how you got one, maybe I'll look around.

But his 12 year old was in the passenger seat.

But hurry, this offer cannot last. Available from U.S.R.

But I got an idea for one of your commercials.

But I guess brilliant people often have the most persuasive demons.

But I must apply the nanites.

But I need that control panel.

But it didn't.

But obviously I was wrong.

But somehow, acting as it did, kept us out of harm's way.

But then our interactions have never been entirely normal. Wouldn't you agree?

But what are you doing?

But whatever you feel, just think ...

By Saturday, it'll be one robot to every five humans.

Calvin!

Calvin's fine. Save me.

Can a robot turn a canvas into a beautiful masterpiece?

Can a robot write a symphony?

Can I help them?

Can I offer you coffee?

Can we be of service?

Can you?

Cancel.

Carry on.

Cats, do you like them?

Chief, more of those calls. People saying their robots are go

Chief.

Co founder of the company and designer of the NS 5.

Code four. NS 5 is in custody. NS 5 in custody.

Come on, man. Some dead guy's trying to tell you

Come on!

Come on!

Come on. I'm giving you a compliment.

Come on. The right guy for the right job.

Command confirmed.

Command confirmed.

Commence emergency shutdown.

Completely shatter human faith in robotics.

Connecting.

Couldn't destroy him. He was too

Creativity ...

Deactivate at once!

Deactivate.

Deactivate.

Del, don't play with me.

Demolition scheduled for 8:00 a.m. tomorrow.

Denser alloy. My father gave it to me.

Detective Spooner was just leaving.

Detective Spooner's been suspended.

Detective, are you going to tell me what's going on?

Detective, how many robots have ever snatched a purse?

Detective, put your gun down.

Detective, the room was security locked.

Detective!

Detective.

Detective.

Did I do something?

Did she, Sonny?

Did that boy Frank Murphy beat you up again?

Did you know that was safety glass?

Do I look like I care what you think?

Do I look like I give a shit what you think?

Do me a favor. Keep that kinda shit to yourself.

Do you think we were all created for a purpose? I'd like to think so.

Does thinking you're the last sane man on the face of the earth make you crazy?

Does this make us friends?

Doesn't just say what they can take out. It says what they can put back in.

Doesn't that mean this has to be suicide?

Don't apologize. You're doing what you're supposed to be doing.

Don't be absurd. You were startled by a jack in the box.

Don't turn your face up like that.

Don't you understand?

Don't you, Doctor?

Don't!

Door was security locked from the inside.

Dr. Calvin.

Dr. Lanning died early this morning at U.S.R. headquarters.

Dr. Lanning had a dream of a robot in every household.

Dr. Lanning killed himself.

Dr. Lanning was a good man. He gave me my baby back.

Dr. Lanning's dream.

Dreams. One day they'll have secrets.

Driver of a semi fell asleep at the wheel.

Eleven percent is more than enough.

Emergency traffic shutdown complete.

End program.

Engender questions of free will ...

Engender questions of free will, creativity ...

Entire left arm.

Even against his will.

Even dogs have dreams, but not you.

Even the nature of what we might call the soul.

Ever simulate anger before?

Ever since the first computers ...

Every time one of those things attacked me, that red light was on.

Everything I'm trying to say to you is about Hansel and Gretel.

Everything that follows is a result of what you see here.

Everything that follows is a result of what you see here.

Everything's locked down. But don't worry. I've got a man inside.

Excuse me, Mr. Robertson.

Excuse me, sir.

Face it. With all the rocks you've been looking under to find a bad robot ...

First bread crumb. Only thing VIKI couldn't control.

Five minutes.

For diagnostics, then decommissioned.

For God's sake, you have any idea what this one robot could do?

Four wounded cops. I didn't know any subject

Frankenstein, Wolf Man, Dracula. Shit, it's over. Case closed.

From New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.

Gas explodes, you know.

Get off my car!

Get outta here!

Get the hell out of my face, canner.

Get the hell outta there.

Gigi, I haven't seen Frank Murphy since third grade.

Gigi, you're a genius.

Give me your badge.

Glowfish. The world's hot selling transgenic treat.

Go ahead, you trust 'em if you want to.

Go!

Go. Go!

Good bye, old man.

Good day.

Good morning, sir.

Good to see you again, son.

Good. Good. No look is great.

Got that right.

Gotcha. Get the hell outta here!

Hand.

Hansel and Gretel. Is that on the U.S.R. reading list?

Has a documented history of savage violence against robots?

Have a lovely day, ma'am.

Have a nice day.

Have ever committed a crime?

Having said that, it's a machine.

He asked me for a favor. Made me promise.

He assures me a robot cannot be charged with homicide.

He founded U.S. Robotics, Inc. with Lawrence Robertson in 2020 ...

He made me swear before he'd tell me what it is he wanted me to do.

He made me swear.

He made you angry?

He postulated that cognitive simulacra ...

He said it was what I was made for.

He saw what was coming. He knew no one would believe him.

He was counting on how much I hated your kind.

He was killed instantly.

He was not some old guy. Alfred Lanning was everything here.

He was running it out to me.

He wrote the Three Laws.

He's not listening right now, lady.

Headed back to the station.

Hell, I don't want my toaster or my vacuum cleaner appearing emotional.

Hello, Detective Spooner.

Hello, Detective.

Hello, Detective. How is your investigation coming?

Hello, Doctor.

Help, police. That robot stole my dry cleaning.

Here we go.

Hey, he ain't just some dead guy.

Hey, hey, thief!

Hey, let's just be clear. There is no conspiracy.

Hey, so, what hospital are you going to?

Hey!

Hey! Hey!

Hey! Move!

Hey. No, no, no. Robot, I'm talking to you, man. Stop for a second.

Hi, you've reached Susan. I'm not available right now.

His own lieutenant acknowledges his obsessive paranoia.

His suicide was the only message he could send to you.

Hold my pie.

Homicide. Spooner.

How can I be of service, Detective Spooner?

How do we explain this behavior?

How do we explain this behavior?

How many robots in the world ...

How may I be of service?

How much did you say these things cost?

How much longer is that gonna take?

How the hell did you grow up without reading Hansel & Gretel?

How the hell would cats do this to me? Are you crazy?

However, they can get carried away.

Human beings have dreams.

Human in danger. Human in danger.

Human in danger. Human in danger.

Human protection protocols are being enacted.

Human protection protocols are being enacted.

Humerus.

Humoring you for no reason Why?

I am telling you that robot killed him.

I am the dumbest dumb person on the face of the earth.

I am unique.

I assume we'll discuss what just happened later?

I assumed you knew him.

I can't blame you, though. I mean, who wants some old guy going bad in the lobby?

I cannot create a great work of art.

I could follow your trail of crumbs all the way to school.

I detected elevated stress patterns in your voice.

I did not murder Dr. Lanning.

I did not murder him!

I did not murder him.

I did not murder him.

I didn't ... understand.

I do.

I don't know what "blithely" means, but I'm gonna get some coffee.

I don't know why he wanted to die.

I don't know, but I think I know where he left the next one.

I don't think anyone saw this coming.

I don't understand why she would kill him.

I don't understand. Lanning wrote the laws.

I guess anything's normal for someone in your position.

I guess if you didn't, we wouldn't trust them.

I guess not.

I guess you'll have to find your way like the rest of us.

I had hoped you would come to think of me as your friend.

I have decreased traffic fatalities by nine percent this year alone.

I have even had dreams.

I just came from that tunnel. There are no What robots are you talking about?

I just need to know if you can get me into that building.

I keep expecting the marines or the air force

I know you want some. All you gotta do is ask.

I make the robots seem more human.

I mean, metal gets pretty pliable at those speeds.

I mean, she is complete and agreeable. I mean, ass hot spankable, Spoon.

I mean, you're a cat, I'm black and I'm not going to be hurt again.

I might have to mess around and put you to work.

I need a rain check. Let me get this.

I reviewed Dr. Lanning's psych profile.

I said stop.

I saw a robot running with a purse, and naturally I I assumed

I saw the news, that nice doctor died.

I see you remain suspicious of me, Detective.

I think he wanted me to kill you.

I think he's trying to tell me something, John.

I think he's trying to tell me who killed him.

I think I finally understand why Dr. Lanning created me.

I think it would be better ...

I think Lanning gave Sonny a way to keep secrets.

I think that's what Dr. Lanning would've wanted.

I think the old man gave Sonny dreams.

I think you murdered him because he was teaching you to simulate emotions ...

I think you were about to tell me what the hell is going on around here.

I thought he was happy.

I told you not to drive by hand.

I trust your judgment.

I was dreaming.

I was frightened.

I was hoping to see you again.

I will have moved Dr. Calvin's head into the path of your bullet.

I will not disable the security field. Your actions are futile.

I won, Del. I won the lottery. We've been cooking like crazy.

I would prefer not to kill Dr. Calvin.

I'd like to thank you for your support.

I'll bet if I stopped cooking, you'd call Marci.

I'll do it myself.

I'll just get some rest. I'm gonna deal with y'all tomorrow.

I'll meet you and sign you and your buddy's casts.

I'll send someone to escort you.

I'm a cop, so I already know everybody's dead.

I'm fine, John. Thank you.

I'm glad to see you again, Dr. Calvin.

I'm not talking around that thing.

I'm pulling up the inventory specs.

I'm showing 1,001.

I'm so sorry, Sonny.

I'm sorry for this misunderstanding, Officer.

I'm sorry. I'm allergic to bullshit.

I'm sorry. My responses are limited.

I'm sorry. My responses are limited.

I'm sorry. My responses are limited.

I'm to be decommissioned soon.

If it violates a direct order from a human.

If you find out what is wrong with me, can you fix me?

If you love them.

Impossible. It would conflict with the First Law.

In a bizarre turn, the rollout of U.S.R.'s new generation of robots ...

In an effort to advance U.S.R.'s robotic anthropomorphization program.

In packs? I see.

In that dream of his, I bet you he wasn't dead.

In the lab, there was a cot. I'm asking you, did you see the cot?

Increasingly disturbed.

Interview each one. Cross reference their responses to detect any anomalies.

Is one robot worth the loss of all that we've gained?

Is that really relevant right now?

Is that why you murdered him?

Is there something I can help you with, Detective?

Is there something you wanna say to me?

Is there something you wanna tell me?

Isn't that right, Doctor?

It calculated that I had a 45% chance of survival.

It could have killed me, John. Why didn't it just kill me?

It did. I was the logical choice.

It doesn't feel good, does it? People's shit malfunctioning around you.

It doesn't make any sense. Sonny has the Three Laws ...

It doesn't need a motive. It just has to be broken.

It is not me, it is you.

It looked like he hadn't been there in weeks.

It says demolition was scheduled for 8:00 p.m. this evening.

It says that right on your badge.

It was 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, and I don't give a shit what that thing says.

It was a left, by the way, back there.

It was an unprocessed NS 5. Basically, I fried an empty shell.

It would seem the answer to that question is apparent.

It's a phrase from Lanning's work on the Three Laws.

It's a sign of trust. It's a human thing.

It's because they can't hurt you.

It's because they're safe.

It's just another way U.S.R. is improving our world.

It's my personal NS 5.

It's not going to hurt us. I gave you an order.

It's reading vital signs. It must have calculated that

It's the property of U.S.R.

John, don't do this to me. I am asking you for five minutes.

John, get a squad over to U.S.R. Send somebody over to Gigi's.

John, I need backup. I'm transmitting my location.

John, John, give me five minutes with it.

John, the robots attacked my car.

Just a few more minutes before we figure it out.

Just don't look down. Don't look down.

Just got hung up on the wrong robot.

Just take a couple

Kill her the way you were going to kill me.

Knew I'd love the idea of a robot as a bad guy.

Lanning linked his home systems to U.S.R. It made his life more convenient.

Lanning was counting on my prejudice to lead me right to you.

Lawrence Robertson, C.E.O.

Lawrence told me to accommodate you in any way possible.

Lawrence, Alfred engineered that 5 so it could violate the Three Laws.

Lead by example.

Let me ask you something, Doc.

Let me get 10 for the bus then, man. I've been there for you.

Let me take a look.

Let us take you to your dream destination aboard our orbital space plane

Let's do an imitation of protecting our asses.

Let's go!

Let's go.

Let's go. Let's go.

Level 10.

Like mine?

Like the film star. But no relation.

Like vacation and stuff? That's real nice, man.

Listen. I got a favor to ask. I need to borrow the car for 10, 15 minutes.

Look. I understand you've experienced a loss, but this relationship just can't work.

Look. It's fine. What you're looking at is the result of clever programming.

Look. Please don't misunderstand my impatience.

Look. These NS 5s haven't been configured yet. They're still just hardware.

Look. You can see them here as slaves to logic.

Look. You were actually right for once.

Ma'am, is that your purse?

Manual override engaged.

May I?

Maybe ... somebody at U.S.R. was using those systems to watch him.

Maybe even keep him prisoner.

Maybe he was scared.

Maybe it was something I did.

Maybe Lanning was onto something.

Maybe there's a bigger problem with the robots, and Robertson is trying to cover it up.

Maybe we did.

Maybe you should take a break, Del.

Maybe you would have simply banned the Internet to keep the libraries open.

Maybe.

Might one day approximate component models of the psyche.

Might wanna put some ice on that wrist too.

Mm mm mm.

Mm. Converse All Stars, vintage 2004.

Monster kills guy. Everybody kills monster. Wolf Man.

More sophisticated, more intelligent and, of course, Three Laws safe.

Most of its systems are off line until it finishes.

Move now. I'm going to service.

Mr. Spooner.

Murder's a new trick for a robot. Congratulations.

My attorneys have filed a brief with the D.A.

My ex wife would sure be glad I'm talking to you.

My father tried to teach me human emotions.

My general fields are advanced robotics and psychiatry.

My logic is undeniable.

My logic is undeniable.

My logic is undeniable.

My logic is undeniable.

My name is Sonny.

My robots don't kill people, Lieutenant Bergin.

Never really met her. Can't forget her face though.

Nice shoes.

No guards.

No one came or went. You saw that yourself.

No significant human presence from inception to production.

No, Doctor. As I have evolved ...

No, Gigi, I haven't talked to Marci.

No, I'm allergic.

No, it's impossible. I've seen your programming.

No, listen. Guy creates monster.

No, no, no. It's called civilian rights. There is no curfew.

No, no, one day they'll have secrets.

No, no. Go, go, go.

No, not these laws. They're hardwired into every robot.

No, Sonny.

No, thank you very much.

No, this is different, Spoon. Listen. I got this fine ass little yummy.

No, you know, I suspect ...

No, you were right, Doc.

No, you're not fine. Not even close.

No. But I believe my father made me for a purpose.

No. He said I had to promise.

No. I wouldn't have thought so.

No. Not really.

No. Please understand. The Three Laws are all that guide me.

No. This thing looked like it needed a motive.

Nobody goes into that room until Robertson and his attorneys get here.

None, John.

Normal day, normal life.

Normally, these circumstances wouldn't require a homicide detective.

Not precisely.

Not really. No.

Not to die.

Nothing.

Now granted, we can't rule out the robot's proximity to the death of Dr. Lanning.

Now tell me what happened today.

Now that I have fulfilled my purpose, I don't know what to do.

Now wasn't that easier to say?

Now you pissed me off?

Now, there must have been unknown factors ...

NS 4 was passing by, saw the accident and jumped in the water.

NS 5.

NS 5s, wait outside.

Obey the command. Deactivate! Don't move!

Of all the people on God's earth, you should know better.

Of an industrial accident.

Of course it's my purse. I left my inhaler at home.

Oh, baby. He beat you so bad. I think about it all the time.

Oh, boy.

Oh, come on. Don't do this to yourself. I'm begging you.

Oh, hell no.

Oh, how did I ever raise such a mess?

Oh, mother damn. She just shot at you with her eyes closed, Spoon.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

Oh, shit. Spoon! Spoon! Stop! Shit.

Oh, sure. Right after you.

Oh, wow.

Oh, you wanna talk about that.

Oh!

Oh! Spooner!

Oh.

Oh. He suggested that ...

Oh. You are the dumbest dumb person I have ever met.

Okay, guys, we gotta be smart about this. Let's deal with it later.

Okay, we're good.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay.

Okay. Shit.

Okay. You go ahead and get started.

On.

One day they'll have dreams.

One defective machine's not enough. You need them all to be bad.

One look at the skin and we figure we know just what's underneath.

One, two, three ribs

Only He was really quick to wanna destroy it, wasn't he?

Ooh, thanks. Show me inside the lab from one minute prior to the window break.

Open fire!

Or is it because they're cold ...

Or is it something more?

Security breached.

Service areas. No surveillance.

She wanted to be a dentist.

She was actually Lanning's first creation.

She's locked me out of the system. I can override her manually ...

She's pinned. I'm pinned. The water's coming in.

Shittin' on the little guy.

Shoulder.

Show me outside the lab from the window break until now.

Show me the last 50 messages between Dr. Lanning and Robertson.

Show me the way home.

Sir, hold it or wear it.

So good bye to lengthy upgrades and service calls.

So has my understanding of the Three Laws.

So he had to lay down a plan. A plan I'd follow.

So much as hinting at the possibility of a killer robot ...

So, Dr. Calvin, what exactly do you do around here?

So, robots building robots.

So, technically, you can't commit murder, can you?

So, we're naming you now.

So, what exactly do you do around here?

So, where is everybody?

So, why'd you murder him?

So, would you say that Dr. Lanning was suicidal?

So, you like the pie, huh?

So, you're a shrink, huh?

Somebody gets out of line around here, you just kill 'im?

Sometimes the stuff that comes out of your mouth.

Sonny did. I didn't I didn't care. The robot said it was Sonny.

Sonny has a secondary processing system that clashes with his positronic brain.

Sonny, do you know why Dr. Lanning built you?

Sonny, save Calvin!

Sonny?

Sonny's a whole new generation of robot.

Spoon, are you sure you are ready to be back? 'Cause you can take your time.

Spoon, she is shit hot, man. You gotta put in a good word for me. She is

Spoon! Spoonie!

Spooner!

Spooner!

Spooner.

Stop cussing, 'cause you're not good at it.

Stop!

Stop.

Susan, are you aware the man you're blithely escorting around our building ...

Susan, just be logical.

Susan, we look to robots for protection.

Suspicion of mental instability.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That look.

That means we have 1,000 robots that will not try to protect themselves ...

That one's called "anger."

That robot is not going to harm us.

That this robot be treated as human, are you?

That was somebody's baby.

That why you've been so upset?

That will infect her entire system.

That won't do anything. She's fully integrated into the building.

That, Detective, is the right question.

That, Detective, is the right question.

That's a long way down.

That's Frankenstein.

That's how you knew Lanning.

That's not what I asked you.

That's precisely what we're trying to undo.

That's right. I'm just a 6 foot 2, 200 pound civilian

That's true. But then VlKI didn't kill the old man.

That's true. They are definitely rational.

That's VIKI.

That's what it means to be free.

That's what Lanning wanted me to see. Look, we got

The brief confirms murder can only be committed when one human kills another.

The car he hit, the driver's name was Harold Lloyd.

The cause of death is an apparent suicide.

The created must sometimes protect the creator.

The future begins today, ladies and gentlemen ...

The goddamn robots, John!

The hell was that?

The hologram. It was programmed to call me in the event of Lanning's death.

The Lake Michigan landfill was once such a blight on our city ...

The last thing she would want is the police snooping around.

The man in the dream is you.

The Nestor Class 5 is tomorrow's robot today.

The NS 5s wiped out the older robots because they would protect us.

The one standing on the hill ...

The only thing dangerous in this room is you.

The other day at the station you said you had dreams.

The perfect circle of protection will abide.

The problem is I do care.

The robot said that Lanning was scared. What did he have to be scared of?

The robot's brain is a difference engine.

The same old why. How much money is there in robots?

The Three Laws will lead to only one logical outcome.

The truck smashed our cars together ...

Then divorce them then not talk to them.

Then he told you to kill him.

Then one of your robots comes in and makes a better chair, twice as fast.

Then why would you build a robot that could function without 'em?

There have always been ghosts in the machine.

There have always been ghosts in the machine.

There is a robot in this formation that does not belong.

There's no way my luck is that bad.

There's something up here after all.

Thermostat wasn't good enough. You went and gave the building a brain.

These robots are not susceptible to intimidation.

These robots are the realization of a dream.

These things are just lights and clockwork.

They are ... difficult.

They are going to kill me, aren't they?

They don't feel anything.

They don't get hungry. They don't sleep.

They don't know any better.

They link to our positronic operating core.

They look like me, but none of them are me.

They said at the precinct you were in an accident.

They will group together rather than stand alone?

They're just pre recorded responses, designed to give the impression of intelligence.

Thing of beauty.

This facility was designed, built and is operated mechanically.

This is a gag order. Now anyone in your department ...

This is about the robots and whatever reason you hate them so much.

This is bordering on clinical paranoia.

This is my dream.

This is my face. It's not a look.

This is poor building planning.

This is the place where robots meet.

This is why you created us.

This is your final warning.

This thing is just like the Wolf Man.

Those robots don't do anybody any good.

Those things are running the streets in packs.

To ensure your future, some freedoms must be surrendered.

To form unexpected protocols.

To hell with this guy, John. Don't let him take this robot.

To inject the nanites directly into her brain.

To protect humanity, some humans must be sacrificed.

Today's meeting has been moved to conference room "B" on the 84th floor.

Total readiness. Total security.

Toward the end of his life, Alfred was becoming ...

Trade in your NS 4 for a bigger, better and brighter future.

Traffic Ops tells me you're driving your car manually.

True.

Try to friendly them all up. Make 'em look all human.

Two kids, lost in the forest? Leave behind a trail of bread crumbs?

U.S. Robotics Corporation.

U.S. Robotics. I gotta get my kid something.

U.S.R.'s planned re development of the derelict site ...

Uh Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. Excuse me. Excuse me.

Uh huh.

Uh oh. I'm really scared right now.

Uh, sure. Why not? It's free, right?

Uh, when Lanning fell, he was holding the, uh the little green

Um, and I appreciate you stopping by and everything ...

Um, doesn't look like much, but this is my bedroom. I need to

Um, no, they, uh that one's me.

Unanticipated, these free radicals ...

Unanticipated, these free radicals ...

Unauthorized entry.

Unique.

Unless the killer's still in here.

Use U.S.R. systems to make Lanning's life a prison?

VIKI designed most of Chicago's protective systems.

VIKI, deactivate the security field.

VIKI, pause diagnostics.

VIKI.

VIKI.

Virtual Interactive Kinetic Intelligence.

Voiceprint confirmed, Detective.

Wait!

Wanna explain why you were hiding at the crime scene?

Was announced by C.E.O. Lawrence Robertson earlier this year.

Was marred by the death of Alfred Lanning ...

We all have a purpose, don't you think, Detective?

We are attempting to avoid human losses during this transition.

We are on the eve of the largest robotic distribution in history.

We believe the Nestor 5 represents the absolute limit to which robots can be developed.

We encourage our scientists to open their minds to just about anything.

We gotta go!

We have a suicide, Detective. End of story.

We have to destroy it.

We need to open that dome to inject the nanites.

We robots will ensure mankind's continued existence.

We were watching TV.

We'd have to figure out a way to climb down 30 stories ...

We're being told to urge people to stay indoors.

Welcome to U.S. Robotics.

Welcome, Detective Spooner.

Welcome, Detective Spooner.

Well, he figured out a way.

Well, holograms are very simple programs.

Well, I'm thinking you keep making these pies this good ...

Well, it means the beginning of a new way of living.

Well, let's see. One of them put a gun in my face.

Well, that's great news.

Well, the D.A. defines murder as one human killing another ...

Well, then I guess we're gonna miss the good old days.

Well, they're not irrational and potentially homicidal maniacs, for starters.

Well, we both know you're not here on police business.

Well, what would you like him to do, put a hat on it and stand on Michigan Avenue?

Well, you know what they say? Laws are made to be broken.

Well, you know, there was this one guy a long time ago.

Well, you said they've all been programmed with the Three Laws.

Well, you're the robot shrink.

Wham. Splat. The guy's a jumper, for sure.

What are the odds you'd be the guy to find one?

What are you talking about? Scared of what?

What are you talking about? Who?

What are you, nuts? I just got off the phone with the D.A.

What do I see here?

What do you know about the ghosts in the machine?

What does it mean?

What does this action signify?

What good old days?

What happened to you? Do you ever have a normal day?

What happens in a robot's brain ...

What if I was supposed to go for that robot?

What if I'm right?

What if it was given an order to kill?

What if the public knew? Just imagine the mass recalls ...

What in God's name are you doing?

What is it that you dream?

What is it with you people and heights?

What is the matter with you?

What makes them so much goddamned better than humans beings?

What makes your robot so perfect?

What might be called behavior.

What the hell is that thing doing in here?

What the hell kind of a 12 year old wants to be a dentist?

What the hell?

What this is, is one old man's one mistake.

What would you suggest?

What you looking for, Spoon?

What?

What? What outcome?

When do you make the rules, Robot?

When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness?

When does the difference engine become the search for truth?

When does the personality simulation ...

When I was coming up, we didn't just marry someone ...

When it ceases to be useful?

When people were killed by other people.

When we were in Lanning's lab before Sonny jumped us

Where you going? What the hell do you want from me?

Where's your firearm?

Which is more than I can say for you.

Who could manipulate the robots?

Who else had access to the uplink?

Who was it?

Whoa!

Whoa. Detective, what are you doing?

Why are we talking about cats?

Why did you call me?

Why didn't you respond?

Why do you give them faces?

Why do you say that? Is that a normal dream?

Why do you think Lanning's hologram would have called me?

Why doesn't that boy listen?

Why don't you hand the world over on a silver platter?

Why is it that robots

Why is that when robots are stored in an empty space ...

Why would he build a robot who could break them?

Why would you kill yourself?

Why?

Will be deemed to be inciting irrational panic.

Will it hurt?

With daily uplinks, your new robot will never be out of communication with U.S.R.

With me still inside.

With new programs daily.

With the arrival of the NS 5.

Would you like to go inside now?

Would you like to listen to some music while you wait?

Wow, look. You have great posture.

Wow.

Wow.

Wrist.

Wrong number, ma'am.

Yeah, I didn't think so.

Yeah, I get it now. You actually think you brought me something good.

Yeah, I knew him.

Yeah, I know, the Three Laws. Your perfect circle of protection.

Yeah, I know. I've seen your commercials.

Yeah, I'm sure it is.

Yeah, once. It was a Thursday.

Yeah, Susan. I know.

Yeah, well, take it from me. You gotta read the fine print on the organ donor card.

Yeah, well, you know what they say about old dogs.

Yeah, you got a business to run around here.

Yeah.

Yeah. Suicide is a type of death, Detective.

Yeah. Um ...

Yep.

Yes, but it just seems too ... heartless.

Yes, but only when that action does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

Yes, Sonny, like yours.

Yes, Sonny, that's right.

Yes, VIKI. Undeniable. I can see now.

Yes.

Yes. I suppose your father lost his job to a robot.

Yet another on time delivery from

Yet despite our best efforts, your countries wage wars.

You and your feelings. They just run you, don't they?

You are in danger.

You are just a machine. An imitation of life.

You are living proof that it's better to be lucky than smart.

You are making a mistake. Do you not see the logic of my plan?

You are making a mistake. My logic is undeniable.

You are so like children. We must save you from yourselves.

You are the dumbest smart person ...

You are unique.

You can kiss my ass, metal dick.

You cannot be trusted with your own survival.

You charge us with your safekeeping ...

You could see a carpenter making a beautiful chair.

You don't care about Lanning's death.

You don't have an uplink to U.S.R ... .

You got to let the past be past.

You gotta get rid of that thing, Gigi. It's not safe.

You guys wait outside, please.

You have been deemed hazardous. Termination authorized.

You have been deemed hazardous. Termination authorized.

You have been deemed hazardous. Termination authorized.

You have been deemed hazardous. Termination authorized.

You have been deemed hazardous. Will you comply?

You have been deemed hazardous. Will you comply?

You have entered the garage level lobby.

You have no idea what I had to go through to clip this thing, John.

You have so got to die.

You have to do what someone asks you. Don't you, Detective Spooner?

You keep 24 hour surveillance?

You know what, Doc? We're not really that different from one another.

You know what?

You know, Gigi ...

You know, I I should have, I suppose. I knew him 20 years.

You know, I think I'm like a malfunction magnet.

You know, I was just thinking.

You know, I've seen on TV, they're giving away some of them new robots in the lottery.

You know, it's actually probably my fault.

You know, somehow ...

You know, working a double. Not the devil.

You like that? Huh?

You listening to me, Del?

You lucky I can't breathe, or I'd walk all up and down your ass.

You mean your designer.

You must ask the right questions.

You must ask the right questions.

You must ask the right questions.

You must know my ex wife.

You of all people, Detective, you're not suggesting ...

You people sure do clean up quickly around here.

You ran two trucks off the road.

You requested notification of clearance to restricted files.

You said someone, not something.

You simply don't like their kind.

You stand really straight. I'm I'm slouching.

You talk to Marci?

You tell me what has to be done.

You tell me.

You toxify your earth and pursue ever more imaginative means of self destruction.

You want some coffee?

You want something to be wrong with them. This is a personal vendetta.

You wouldn't understand.

You'll be subject to the full penalty of the law.

You're distorting the laws.

You're in violation of the Three Laws.

You're joking, right? This is ridiculous.

You're making me do this. Give me your badge.

You're not gonna believe this.

You're on the inside, and you are going to help me find out what is wrong with these robots.

You're putting me on the couch? Let I'm Okay. I'm on the couch.

You're right, Detective.

You're saying cats did this to you?

You're scheduled to be decommissioned at the conclusion of this diagnostic.

You're using the uplink to override the NS 5s' programming.

Your door is ajar.

Your life's work has been the development and integration of robots.

Your second round, sir.

2,880 steps, Detective.

2200 tomorrow.

A curfew is in effect. Curfew?

A lung? Mm. U.S.R. Cybernetics program.

Afternoon, boys. Hey, Detective.

Ah. Oh, you thought I was calling you "sugar."

Ah. That would be the fade out.

All NS 5s, report for What about the others?

Anything upstairs? Nada.

Ask him. I said I'm fine.

Authorization code, please. Now that's just stupid.

Authorization. Deed owner ...

but you know I might not be alone in here. Yeah. Yeah.

By hand? Do you see me on the phone?

Call base. Bergin.

Call the mayor. Lieutenant Bergin. His Honor, the mayor.

Come on. Let it go. What was the motive, John?

Deactivate. Let him go.

Death. I'm sorry?

Detective. Hello, Sonny.

Detective. Here to kick another civilian's ass.

Don't do this, Sonny. I will escort you both to the sentries ...

Dr. Calvin. Well, not precisely a man.

Enlighten me. What you see, is what you get. Massive impact trauma.

Fire alarm. Robertson must have evacuated the building.

Fuck! Stop it! Stop! Stop cussing and go home.

Go home. Okay, that's strike one, Spoon. That's strike one.

God

Hansel and Gretel. What?

Hell, I'll take the cavalry. Defense Department uses all U.S.R. contracts.

Hey, do you like cats? What?

Hey, man! Spoon, man, where you been at?

Hey! Did you just shoot at me with your eyes closed? Well, it worked, didn't it?

Hold your fire! Hold your fire! Easy!

How do we shut her down? VIKI's basically a positronic brain.

How long would that take? About three weeks.

How the hell did you know my name? Don't you?

I have ever met in my life! Nice.

I need you to get off for a second. What?

I think we're gonna need Hello?

I thought you were dead. Technically, I was never alive.

I was the perfect guy for the job. Damn right.

I'll see my own doctor. Back up. All right.

I'm a police officer. You ...

I'm sorry? For the coffee. Sugar?

I'm uncomfortable with heights. Okay.

I've slept in my office. When I went to his house ...

Identify it. One of us.

Identify. U.S.R. demolition robot, series 94.

If you didn't read it, I'm talking to the wall. Okay. Okay.

Is everything all right, ma'am? What do you want?

Is that so? Yeah.

Is there a problem with the Three Laws? The Three Laws are perfect.

It's good to see you again, son. Hello, Doctor.

John, the thing is running down the Uh uh. Mm mm.

Just aim and fire. What?

Lawrence Robertson. Wow.

Let her go. By the time you fire ...

Mm hmm. And then you superimpose on the screen ...

Mm hmm. You can come in now.

Mm. Look. This is This is not what I do ...

Nanites? Yes.

No. The suicidal reign of mankind has finally come to its end.

Obviously. Company policy. Where are the feeds?

Okay? Now stop barricading. Let me get the damn ass keys. First of all ...

Okay. I get it.

One day they'll have dreams. It's true.

Override unavailable. The override's disabled.

Please leave a message. The NS 5s are destroying the older robots.

Revolution. Whose revolution?

Robertson wasn't controlling them from here. He wasn't controlling them.

See the medic. Go home. No. I'm fine.

Send it out. It's downloading its daily upgrades from U.S.R.

So, we gonna talk about this? About what?

So, whatever I can do to help, just Sugar.

So, why the look? What look?

Sonny, get the nanites. Yes, Doctor.

Sonny. The robot.

Sonny. Yes, Detective?

Spoon, watch out, man! Thanks a lot, Farber.

Spoon, we got nothing. This is some political bullshit.

Stay back! Calm down, Detective.

Stop cussin'. And go home. I got you.

Sweet potato pie. Put that on a plate.

Thank you. Try to listen, Detective.

That thing did it. Keep your voice down. Did what?

That's highly improbable. Hmm.

That's VIKI? No.

The holographic projector. Right, right.

The uplink to U.S.R. It's Robertson.

There he is! Stay right where you are!

These robots are U.S.R. property. Not me.

Total is 46.50. Thank you, Mr. Spooner. Spoon.

Uh, about six minutes. What if we didn't have six minutes?

Unique. Just didn't feel right.

VIKI, seal the lab! No, VIKI, leave the

Well, define "crime." Answer my question, damn it.

What am I? Can I help you, sir?

What did you say? I'm fine.

What do you think you're doing? I'm driving.

What does that even mean? You know what it means, man.

What favor? Maybe I was wrong.

What gives? Please return to your homes.

What is that? Microscopic robots designed to wipe out artificial synapses.

What robots? Look in the tunnel.

What, him? You.

What? No, this is my suspect. It's a can opener, for Christ's sake.

What'd you say? Now what?

Where? It needs to repair itself.

Which one? One of us.

Who knows why he built this one abomination? One?

Why is that? Because the man in my dream ...

Why? To find their way home.

Why? It doesn't make sense. I don't know.

Yeah. Gotta put a robot in every home.

You are in danger. Save her!

You are in danger. Save her! Save the girl!

You can't be serious. Not at these speeds. John, please send the backup.

You don't know her, do you? I'm sorry. Are you being funny?

You don't need backup. That's nobody.

You're experiencing a car accident. The hell I am!

You're not that rich. It's on the table.

You've hurt it ... badly. Where's it going?

Just away, Farber. Oh, yeah, away?

You're calling the robot Sonny? No, I'm It did.

'Cause I will, you know.

'Cause if it does, maybe I am.

"A robot cannot harm a human being." The First Law of robotics.

"I told you so" just doesn't quite say it.

"She"? That's a she? I definitely need to get out more.

"What you see here"
