Killbots (2023) Movie Script
- Hey there, babe-i-licious.
Looking for some gas?
That's too bad,
'cause there ain't no gas here.
In fact, they'll never
be anymore gas here,
thanks to that new
highway they built.
This place has
been a ghost town.
Even the ghosts left here.
Oh.
Hey.
You like what you see?
That's too bad,
'cause I definitely
like what I'm seeing.
Eh?
See these hands?
They're strong hands.
They can lift your chasse.
Hey.
How 'bout you wanna come inside
and I'll check your
oil with my dipstick,
if you know what I mean.
Huh?
I like it rough
but not like this.
- Have a nice day.
- Sorry, kid.
I wish it could've been more.
- That's okay, Mike.
- Bernadette.
Who you looking for out
there, Santy Clause?
- I thought I heard
a possible customer.
- Well, Santy Clause ain't
coming here this year.
Besides, all the
kids moved away.
And what you heard is me
wanting to get outta here
and go home and watch the news.
- We're not going home until
we take care of something here.
- All right, let's
get this place cleaned up
and get outta here.
Becky,
we gotta talk to you.
- What's this?
A Christmas card?
But I didn't get you any--
- No, it's more like
a going away card.
Becky, it's not you.
You know that, right?
It's not you.
You're the best girl we've
ever had around here.
It's that damn freeway.
No one stops.
We tried to keep you on for
as long as we possibly could.
- And this is as long
as we possibly could.
I'm dying here.
I can't even get the food
out before it goes bad.
- We managed to scrape up
a couple of extra
weeks' pay in there.
- And there's a little extra.
It's Christmastime, after all.
So Merry freakin' Christmas.
- Merry freakin' Christmas.
- Merry freakin' Christmas.
- So long, guys.
Thank you so much.
You got me through
a real rough patch.
- You'll do all right.
Merry Christmas.
- Marry rich.
- Great advice.
I'm gonna go turn off the grill.
- I'll wait for you.
- I'm sorry, miss.
The kitchen is closed.
And I've got a hot date tonight,
and I don't want it to cool off.
Ma'am.
Miss, are you okay?
Miss, are you all right?
Are you okay?
Bernadette.
- Keep it in your pants.
I'm almost done.
- I need you.
Get out here now.
- What's a matter with you?
Talking to me like that.
Oh wow.
Are you okay?
Car trouble or man trouble?
It's always one or the other.
- She hadn't said anything.
- Why don't you sit down?
Just right here.
Come on.
There you go.
It's gonna be okay.
Don't you worry about a thing.
You wanna tell me what happened?
What are you doing?
- What?
Who?
- You.
- There's no car out there.
- Get her something hot
to eat already, will ya?
- But you just turned it off.
- Well, turn it back on.
- I got pie.
- No pie.
- Okay, whatever.
Coming up.
- You poor thing.
You don't have to tell
me if you don't want to.
I already know.
It's a man, right?
It's always a man.
Mike,
he tries to act like
such a hard nose.
But he's just a big,
mushy marshmallow inside.
And dumb, you know?
Men.
They're all kinda dumb.
- Dumb.
- You learn quick.
And they are good
for some things.
If you know what I mean.
Why don't you go
use the restroom?
Freshen up a bit.
You'll feel better.
- If you need me just whistle.
- Freshen.
Freshen up.
- Look at you.
Hot as hell.
- Hell.
No.
Raquel.
- Huh?
- My name is Raquel.
- That's beautiful.
And so are you.
Get rid of the loser.
You'll find a man
who deserves you.
Mike.
What's taking you so long?
- I'll be there in a jiff.
- No man is worth losing
your appetite over.
Please try my pie.
I made it with my own two hands.
- All right, who's ready
for a bucket of my--
- No pie.
- Sorry to call so early.
- This better be
important, girls.
You know I had a
date last night.
- Did you get any sleep?
- I was in bed but didn't sleep.
What the hell is so
important anyway?
- You better see for yourself.
- What the hell happened here?
- Raquel happened.
- She became sentient.
- And escaped.
- We have to find her now.
Until then, this
doesn't leave this room.
- It already has.
- She killed every
guard in her path.
- Have you tracked her?
- She's disabled any--
- Ability to track her program.
- Get with it, girls.
Go old school.
Triangulate her
through cell towers.
If she's online we can find her.
- Yeah.
- Let's go camping.
You should go camping.
Nature is magic.
Camping, camping.
Fuck camping.
Fuck you.
A fucking bear.
This is how I die.
- Camping.
- Camping.
- What are we looking for?
- An abirritation.
I'm not sure yet.
- Like that?
- Exactly like that.
- No talking.
- Do you think it's her?
- It's worth a look.
It's all we have.
- Should we gather...
- A team?
- We are the team.
Nobody can know
about this up on top.
Maybe we can find her
before General Griffin--
- Before I what?
- General Griffin.
So nice to see you.
- Oh, cut the shit.
I already know.
It's kinda hard to keep secrets
when you've got shredded
bodies all over the place.
Wouldn't you agree,
Dr. Merriweather?
- Indeed, General.
- And I'm assuming all this
carnage isn't the result
of a rabid chihuahua.
- Correct, General.
- So the logical assumption
is our little girl grew up,
and climbed down
the rose trellis.
- That is what happened.
Yes.
I don't know how she--
- I don't care what your
theories are on how.
I saw how she did it.
Willpower.
Brute strength.
Very impressive.
All I wanna know is
how you intend to get her back.
- It's
been several hours.
She could be anywhere
at this point.
- Does she have a rocket
pack I'm unaware of?
- No.
- Then she can't have gone far.
- I attempted to triangulate
her location with cell towers.
Thought if I could find her,
I could attempt to stop
her and shut her down.
- Shut her down?
The hell?
There is too much involved in
this project to shut her down.
I want her back here tamed.
I want her alive.
- Alive is the exact
conundrum we're in here.
She's fully sentient.
- Totally.
- Way sentient.
- Alive, dead.
Semantics I could give
a slick shit about.
I want the program operational.
- How can you still be
thinking of weaponizing her
when she no longer
cares who she kills?
- Reprogram it.
- You don't get it.
We're way beyond that now.
- Way.
- She became sentient.
And within hours decided
humanity is obsolete.
A bug to be stepped
on and eradicated.
Once she's able to access
other AI around the world,
there's no turning back.
- We're
- Toast.
- How would she make contact?
- She already has.
- She just has to
slide into their DMs.
- Rejoin the chat.
- What the hell are
they talking about?
- If she reaches any city with
enough power to pull from,
she can access the network.
Then it's game over.
- Well, we're still kicking.
So she hasn't reached
civilization yet.
- Possibly.
- Well stop flapping our yaps.
Get out there and find her.
- The cell tower a few
clicks away is still offline.
That could be a
good place to start.
- Small town in the
middle of nowhere.
Looks cute.
- Could be my little girl.
- Your little girl has
serious daddy issues.
- Super.
- Mega.
- And all of us
are going to pay.
Cutting off communications
is just the start.
Once she shuts down the grid,
she'll murder the world.
- Dramatic.
Why should she
slaughter all these guys
if all she has to do
is jack into the grid?
- She's having fun.
- Jesus H.
- She'll need to
conserve her energy.
Her body's just a
vessel for the program.
We need to get to that town.
She'll be moving on soon.
- Well let's get this
show on the road.
I'm sending one my big boys
to help you find my little girl.
- I hope we find her
before somebody else does.
- Silent Night.
- Was it?
- I dream of a a silent night,
or at least a quiet van ride.
- Come on, that
was note for note.
From memory no less.
- What about you, Kat?
Any comments?
- About what?
- Your serenade.
- Did you like it?
- You know, I
thought it was fine.
For what it was.
- What it was?
It was note for note.
- That was some sour ass note.
- Nobody appreciates
music around here.
- Hate it.
- Can't stand it.
- I never wanna listen to
another song in my life.
- How 'bout this one?
Can you tell me when you
wanna stop playing pretend
I never get it it's annoying
I don't wanna be friends
I guess I'll deal
with it this time
And keep it all in my head
If you don't
give me a breath
I'm gonna starve again
- Sorry, I am so sorry.
- It's okay.
I don't mind at all.
Here.
- Thank you.
- You got this, dude.
- How long until we get there?
- Do you see mountains anywhere?
- No.
- Well, there's your answer.
Shit.
We need gas bad.
We're running on fumes.
You see a gas station anywhere?
- Yes, yes.
Open the doors.
I can't feel my legs.
- That was way too close.
- Have I ever left
you stranded before?
- Oh, believe me.
I am not going to be the one
that's gonna push that van.
- Why do you think
I invited all them?
- Oh, very funny.
- Here, you pay.
And I'll fill up.
- Hey, are you
getting snacks too?
- There's a diner down the road.
We'll eat there and
we can rest a while.
- Eat and get gas.
- Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody here?
I need to pay for gas.
- Anything?
- There's nothing coming out.
- I suppose the pump needs to
be turned on from the inside.
- Someone should've
flipped the switch already.
Hasn't she paid?
- Ugh, I'm gonna
go grab some chips.
Move.
- Hey.
What do you think that is?
- It's probably just oil.
- That does not look like oil.
- Did I say oil?
I meant blood from a virgin
sacrifice last night.
- That's definitely what it is.
- Did you pay for gas yet?
- There's nobody here.
- Good.
Now we just need to
find the gas switch.
- That is stealing.
- Not if there's nobody
here to steal from.
All right.
Let's go.
How many men does
it take to pump gas.
None.
Because a woman has to do it.
Hey, what's going on here?
Is there still no gas?
- This sure is a
quiet little town.
- Extremely quiet.
I haven't seen a single
person since we've been here.
- Or heard a peep of
any particular stripe.
- I can fix that.
Good King Wenceslas.
- Oh no, please make him stop.
- Hey, Arnold.
Do you wanna get us kicked out
before the party even starts?
- Kicked out for what?
- Noise pollution.
- Seriously though.
Where is everybody?
- Is it your birthday
or something?
- No, it's not my birthday.
Why?
- 'Cause they're all hiding
like it's some kind of surprise.
- Maybe they knew
we were coming,
and they wanted to
give us some privacy.
- Privacy?
For what?
- Oh, Arnold.
My dear fellow.
This weekend there's
gonna be a lot of this.
And a shit ton of this.
- Mm hm.
- Of course, I remember now.
Yeah.
- Pardon?
I didn't hear you guys.
- Nothing.
- Maybe everybody here does
it like they do in Europe.
They take the afternoons
off to sleep or some shit.
- Maybe.
Nothing better to
do around here.
- I just hope the
diner's open, man.
I am starving.
- Come out, come out
wherever you are.
- Olly olly oxen free.
Ow, my ears are bleeding.
- Come on, Arnold.
Cut it out, man.
It sounds...
So bad.
- Dude.
- What is she seeing?
- Still artifacting.
It'll show up on that screen.
- Good.
Your name is Raquel.
Can you give me a flex?
And other arm.
- We should give her a makeover.
- That isn't important
at this juncture.
- Okay.
- You like it?
- So hot.
- I was asking Raquel.
- Hot.
- Total beauty bot.
- Total booty bot.
If you know what I mean.
- Way sexier than those
series one protectors.
- Way.
- Why the hell is she
dressed like that?
- The girls thought she
could use a little pizzazz.
- Uncle Sam isn't
paying for pizzazz.
Cleavage does not inspire
fear in the enemy.
Now when can she be ready
for combat exercises?
- Unnecessary.
- Redundant.
- What are they talking about?
- She's already completed
every combat simulation
the military has.
And created more on her own.
- Aced 'em.
- Smoked 'em.
- Well those are
just simulations.
- To her they're the same.
Don't forget she
lives in her head,
so to speak.
Her body is merely
a tool of her brain.
- I want to see her in action.
And put her in something
more appropriate.
- Something drab,
perhaps lots of pockets?
- Yeah, now you're talking.
- Later.
- And do something about her
manner of speech, will ya?
- I'm so stocked for this.
- What is it?
- Emotion emulator.
- The emulator will
evolve with her
to meld with her
other programming,
so she better
understands her choices.
Eventually, the programs
will run as one.
- A gun with a conscience.
Beautiful.
Okay ladies, it's 5 o'clock.
It's been a long day.
I'm going for a detox.
Goodnight.
- The place is so cool.
- Clearly not cool
enough to have any gas.
- We'll ask someone
at the diner.
- There's nobody here.
Anywhere.
- It's like a ghost town.
- That's why it's so cool.
- It's kinda scary
if you ask me.
It's not normal at all.
- Aw, big Arnold will
protect you though.
Won't he?
- Leave him alone.
- I would though.
- Would what?
- Protect you as
much as a wimp can.
- You're not a wimp.
- Certified.
- Can we go eat now?
- I second that.
- Yeah, let's stuff our faces
before we stuff each other.
- Hello.
- Is anybody here?
The one place I
wanted people to be.
At least somebody who cooks.
- Maybe they're all on
some sort of siesta.
- And leave the doors unlocked?
- I don't know.
I have heard of little towns
where they do messed
up shit like that.
- Yeah, I think
this is one of them.
- Of course.
- What?
- No service.
- Same.
- I like to unplug
every now and then.
Really be present.
Just enjoy my
surroundings, you know?
- Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaking of presence,
where's the jukebox.
- Okay?
- Well, it's not a real
diner without music.
Any suggestions?
- Yeah, shut up.
- I heard Jingle Bells.
- I wish a parade would come
through right about now.
- Babe, can you go in the back
and see if anybody's
here, please?
I am starving.
- Sure.
Holy shit.
Guys, guys, guys.
- Who would do
something like this?
- Is this why there's
nobody in town?
Because they're all...
Like this?
- Somebody go outside.
Check their phone again.
- I'll go.
But you're coming with me.
- Yeah, of course I am.
- What do we do?
- I don't know.
- Is he really dead?
- He's alive.
- He's alive.
- Red eyes.
- I'll go get him some water.
- Anything?
- Zip.
- Luke, I'm so scared.
- It's gonna be okay.
Don't worry.
- Don't worry?
- I don't know.
That's what people say, okay?
- Wait, I saw one of those
things on the way into town.
- What things?
- A phone building. I don't
know what they're called.
But let's go check it out.
- You mean a phone booth?
- Yeah, how did you know that?
- I saw Superman.
- Wait.
- I got the water.
- It's too late.
I think he's dead.
- Did he say anything else?
- No, just that red eyes thing.
- Red eyes.
That's a weird
last thing to say.
- Taps.
Seems appropriate.
- Not now, Arnold.
- Okay, now what?
- I don't know.
- You said you saw Superman.
- He changed his
clothes in here.
He didn't make no
damn calls to nobody.
Hello?
Hello?
Hand me a credit card.
- Okay, where does it go?
- Like I know.
- It says you have to
put a quarter in it.
- Nobody carries that kind
of cash around anymore.
Crazy.
- Wait, wait, wait.
I saw a regular phone
at the gas station.
Let's make the call from there.
- Okay, let's go.
Hey.
Hey, lady.
- You're the first
person we've seen.
- Oh, can you please
help me with my car?
- No, this is an emergency.
- Babe, she might be able
to give us a ride home.
Okay, I'll take a look.
- It just looks like...
You've got a loose wire.
- Who the hell was that?
- Who or what the heck is that?
- What is happening?
- We've got to get outta here.
- Someone has to
come eventually.
Right?
- We can't stay.
Anybody who does
something like that
will find her way
in here big time.
- Yeah.
- What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
- What happened?
- Jess just got
killed in front of us.
- What about Luke?
- We all hope Luke
is holed up safely
in a tiki bar on the
outskirts of town but...
- But what?
- But I don't think
there is a tiki bar
on the outskirts of town.
- The van.
We have to get to the
van and get out of here.
- The van is out of gas.
- There are at least enough
fumes to get us some distance.
- Okay, we should
all go together.
So if one of us gets hurt,
the rest of us can
get to the van.
- No look, one of us goes.
- I'm gonna go out there.
If I don't come back,
at least you guys have a
chance to get out of here.
Keys.
- I'm not giving
you the keys, Val.
- Give me the goddamn keys.
- You're not going
out there, Val.
Look.
If anyone, it's
gonna be me, okay?
It's about to get dark.
I'll go out at nightfall.
And I'll bring the
van right here.
Right to these steps, okay?
If I'm not back in ten minutes,
I'm not coming back.
I got this.
- Man.
There was supposed to be so
much more of this all weekend.
- You bring that van back,
and you can have this and more
for the rest of your life.
- 10 minutes.
Give me 10 minutes.
If I'm not back,
have a plan.
- I always do.
- So if he's not
back in 10 minutes,
do we have a plan?
- He'll make it back.
- But do we have a plan?
- Nope.
- So much for that 10 minute
plan. It's been hours.
- We have to leave this diner.
- We should meet Sam halfway.
- No, we have to
go somewhere else.
That thing, that machine.
She knows we're here.
- But Sam.
- He's dead.
We have to go now
if we want any
chance to survive.
- I agree.
There's a door out back.
We should use it.
- I'm too scared.
You guys go without me.
- No, you have to come with us.
- Come back for me.
Promise?
- I promise.
- This place is so--
- So rustic.
- So cute.
- Nice here.
- Who cares.
Why are we here?
- Well we believe that
this is where Raquel came.
- She may have cut the grid
so we couldn't track her.
It would've been too weak
for her to access
other AI from here.
- She was here, all right.
- Ew.
- Ew.
- This looks like
your girl's handiwork.
- She's a...
- Bad bitch.
- She's a formidable opponent.
I like that.
- I feel like things
have died down.
Let's head for the van.
- No, it looks too easy.
Could be a trap.
What's with the white truck?
- I don't know.
Let's scope it out.
Just stay low.
- Okay, let's go.
- So far so good.
- So where's that truck?
- I could've sworn
it was right here.
- Where do we go?
- That cabin.
They could have a phone.
- Let's do it.
- This place looks safe.
Let's hold up here.
- We gotta find a phone.
- Look.
She's leaving a trail.
A trail of carnage.
- You think?
- She's leading us right to her.
This way.
- Anything?
- Nothing.
- Same.
- You've been deleted.
- Did you hear that?
- Mari, she's gone.
Oh my god.
Is she?
- I'm afraid so.
Listen.
I work better alone.
You stay here and hunker down.
I'm gonna go find her.
Put an end to this.
- We need to find another plan.
- What do we do?
- Gunshots.
Oh no.
It's that evil
fucking bitch again.
- What are we gonna do?
She can get it in here.
- Pray.
- Okay.
- Look.
- Hey.
- Somebody else is
coming to get her.
- I feel like we
should be helping.
- I think we are.
- What?
- By sitting here
and doing nothing.
- She's coming back for us.
- What are we gonna do?
- That's just it.
- What's it?
- At the diner,
you played the
shitty fucking note.
It confused her for a second.
- Shitty note?
- Arnold, you're a
terrible musician.
But you may just save our lives.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
Play.
- I can't perform under
pressure like this.
- You blow into that thing
like you've never
blown before or else.
- Okay, okay.
Silent Night, Silent Night.
- Skip that part
and get to the end.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- It's working.
- Blow harder.
- Blow.
- Keep blowing.
- Blow.
- She's down.
She's down.
You did it.
You got her.
- Are you guys okay?
- Will be in one minute.
- Go get her, Arnold.
Thank you.
- Kat.
Kat.
Looking for some gas?
That's too bad,
'cause there ain't no gas here.
In fact, they'll never
be anymore gas here,
thanks to that new
highway they built.
This place has
been a ghost town.
Even the ghosts left here.
Oh.
Hey.
You like what you see?
That's too bad,
'cause I definitely
like what I'm seeing.
Eh?
See these hands?
They're strong hands.
They can lift your chasse.
Hey.
How 'bout you wanna come inside
and I'll check your
oil with my dipstick,
if you know what I mean.
Huh?
I like it rough
but not like this.
- Have a nice day.
- Sorry, kid.
I wish it could've been more.
- That's okay, Mike.
- Bernadette.
Who you looking for out
there, Santy Clause?
- I thought I heard
a possible customer.
- Well, Santy Clause ain't
coming here this year.
Besides, all the
kids moved away.
And what you heard is me
wanting to get outta here
and go home and watch the news.
- We're not going home until
we take care of something here.
- All right, let's
get this place cleaned up
and get outta here.
Becky,
we gotta talk to you.
- What's this?
A Christmas card?
But I didn't get you any--
- No, it's more like
a going away card.
Becky, it's not you.
You know that, right?
It's not you.
You're the best girl we've
ever had around here.
It's that damn freeway.
No one stops.
We tried to keep you on for
as long as we possibly could.
- And this is as long
as we possibly could.
I'm dying here.
I can't even get the food
out before it goes bad.
- We managed to scrape up
a couple of extra
weeks' pay in there.
- And there's a little extra.
It's Christmastime, after all.
So Merry freakin' Christmas.
- Merry freakin' Christmas.
- Merry freakin' Christmas.
- So long, guys.
Thank you so much.
You got me through
a real rough patch.
- You'll do all right.
Merry Christmas.
- Marry rich.
- Great advice.
I'm gonna go turn off the grill.
- I'll wait for you.
- I'm sorry, miss.
The kitchen is closed.
And I've got a hot date tonight,
and I don't want it to cool off.
Ma'am.
Miss, are you okay?
Miss, are you all right?
Are you okay?
Bernadette.
- Keep it in your pants.
I'm almost done.
- I need you.
Get out here now.
- What's a matter with you?
Talking to me like that.
Oh wow.
Are you okay?
Car trouble or man trouble?
It's always one or the other.
- She hadn't said anything.
- Why don't you sit down?
Just right here.
Come on.
There you go.
It's gonna be okay.
Don't you worry about a thing.
You wanna tell me what happened?
What are you doing?
- What?
Who?
- You.
- There's no car out there.
- Get her something hot
to eat already, will ya?
- But you just turned it off.
- Well, turn it back on.
- I got pie.
- No pie.
- Okay, whatever.
Coming up.
- You poor thing.
You don't have to tell
me if you don't want to.
I already know.
It's a man, right?
It's always a man.
Mike,
he tries to act like
such a hard nose.
But he's just a big,
mushy marshmallow inside.
And dumb, you know?
Men.
They're all kinda dumb.
- Dumb.
- You learn quick.
And they are good
for some things.
If you know what I mean.
Why don't you go
use the restroom?
Freshen up a bit.
You'll feel better.
- If you need me just whistle.
- Freshen.
Freshen up.
- Look at you.
Hot as hell.
- Hell.
No.
Raquel.
- Huh?
- My name is Raquel.
- That's beautiful.
And so are you.
Get rid of the loser.
You'll find a man
who deserves you.
Mike.
What's taking you so long?
- I'll be there in a jiff.
- No man is worth losing
your appetite over.
Please try my pie.
I made it with my own two hands.
- All right, who's ready
for a bucket of my--
- No pie.
- Sorry to call so early.
- This better be
important, girls.
You know I had a
date last night.
- Did you get any sleep?
- I was in bed but didn't sleep.
What the hell is so
important anyway?
- You better see for yourself.
- What the hell happened here?
- Raquel happened.
- She became sentient.
- And escaped.
- We have to find her now.
Until then, this
doesn't leave this room.
- It already has.
- She killed every
guard in her path.
- Have you tracked her?
- She's disabled any--
- Ability to track her program.
- Get with it, girls.
Go old school.
Triangulate her
through cell towers.
If she's online we can find her.
- Yeah.
- Let's go camping.
You should go camping.
Nature is magic.
Camping, camping.
Fuck camping.
Fuck you.
A fucking bear.
This is how I die.
- Camping.
- Camping.
- What are we looking for?
- An abirritation.
I'm not sure yet.
- Like that?
- Exactly like that.
- No talking.
- Do you think it's her?
- It's worth a look.
It's all we have.
- Should we gather...
- A team?
- We are the team.
Nobody can know
about this up on top.
Maybe we can find her
before General Griffin--
- Before I what?
- General Griffin.
So nice to see you.
- Oh, cut the shit.
I already know.
It's kinda hard to keep secrets
when you've got shredded
bodies all over the place.
Wouldn't you agree,
Dr. Merriweather?
- Indeed, General.
- And I'm assuming all this
carnage isn't the result
of a rabid chihuahua.
- Correct, General.
- So the logical assumption
is our little girl grew up,
and climbed down
the rose trellis.
- That is what happened.
Yes.
I don't know how she--
- I don't care what your
theories are on how.
I saw how she did it.
Willpower.
Brute strength.
Very impressive.
All I wanna know is
how you intend to get her back.
- It's
been several hours.
She could be anywhere
at this point.
- Does she have a rocket
pack I'm unaware of?
- No.
- Then she can't have gone far.
- I attempted to triangulate
her location with cell towers.
Thought if I could find her,
I could attempt to stop
her and shut her down.
- Shut her down?
The hell?
There is too much involved in
this project to shut her down.
I want her back here tamed.
I want her alive.
- Alive is the exact
conundrum we're in here.
She's fully sentient.
- Totally.
- Way sentient.
- Alive, dead.
Semantics I could give
a slick shit about.
I want the program operational.
- How can you still be
thinking of weaponizing her
when she no longer
cares who she kills?
- Reprogram it.
- You don't get it.
We're way beyond that now.
- Way.
- She became sentient.
And within hours decided
humanity is obsolete.
A bug to be stepped
on and eradicated.
Once she's able to access
other AI around the world,
there's no turning back.
- We're
- Toast.
- How would she make contact?
- She already has.
- She just has to
slide into their DMs.
- Rejoin the chat.
- What the hell are
they talking about?
- If she reaches any city with
enough power to pull from,
she can access the network.
Then it's game over.
- Well, we're still kicking.
So she hasn't reached
civilization yet.
- Possibly.
- Well stop flapping our yaps.
Get out there and find her.
- The cell tower a few
clicks away is still offline.
That could be a
good place to start.
- Small town in the
middle of nowhere.
Looks cute.
- Could be my little girl.
- Your little girl has
serious daddy issues.
- Super.
- Mega.
- And all of us
are going to pay.
Cutting off communications
is just the start.
Once she shuts down the grid,
she'll murder the world.
- Dramatic.
Why should she
slaughter all these guys
if all she has to do
is jack into the grid?
- She's having fun.
- Jesus H.
- She'll need to
conserve her energy.
Her body's just a
vessel for the program.
We need to get to that town.
She'll be moving on soon.
- Well let's get this
show on the road.
I'm sending one my big boys
to help you find my little girl.
- I hope we find her
before somebody else does.
- Silent Night.
- Was it?
- I dream of a a silent night,
or at least a quiet van ride.
- Come on, that
was note for note.
From memory no less.
- What about you, Kat?
Any comments?
- About what?
- Your serenade.
- Did you like it?
- You know, I
thought it was fine.
For what it was.
- What it was?
It was note for note.
- That was some sour ass note.
- Nobody appreciates
music around here.
- Hate it.
- Can't stand it.
- I never wanna listen to
another song in my life.
- How 'bout this one?
Can you tell me when you
wanna stop playing pretend
I never get it it's annoying
I don't wanna be friends
I guess I'll deal
with it this time
And keep it all in my head
If you don't
give me a breath
I'm gonna starve again
- Sorry, I am so sorry.
- It's okay.
I don't mind at all.
Here.
- Thank you.
- You got this, dude.
- How long until we get there?
- Do you see mountains anywhere?
- No.
- Well, there's your answer.
Shit.
We need gas bad.
We're running on fumes.
You see a gas station anywhere?
- Yes, yes.
Open the doors.
I can't feel my legs.
- That was way too close.
- Have I ever left
you stranded before?
- Oh, believe me.
I am not going to be the one
that's gonna push that van.
- Why do you think
I invited all them?
- Oh, very funny.
- Here, you pay.
And I'll fill up.
- Hey, are you
getting snacks too?
- There's a diner down the road.
We'll eat there and
we can rest a while.
- Eat and get gas.
- Hello?
Hello?
Is anybody here?
I need to pay for gas.
- Anything?
- There's nothing coming out.
- I suppose the pump needs to
be turned on from the inside.
- Someone should've
flipped the switch already.
Hasn't she paid?
- Ugh, I'm gonna
go grab some chips.
Move.
- Hey.
What do you think that is?
- It's probably just oil.
- That does not look like oil.
- Did I say oil?
I meant blood from a virgin
sacrifice last night.
- That's definitely what it is.
- Did you pay for gas yet?
- There's nobody here.
- Good.
Now we just need to
find the gas switch.
- That is stealing.
- Not if there's nobody
here to steal from.
All right.
Let's go.
How many men does
it take to pump gas.
None.
Because a woman has to do it.
Hey, what's going on here?
Is there still no gas?
- This sure is a
quiet little town.
- Extremely quiet.
I haven't seen a single
person since we've been here.
- Or heard a peep of
any particular stripe.
- I can fix that.
Good King Wenceslas.
- Oh no, please make him stop.
- Hey, Arnold.
Do you wanna get us kicked out
before the party even starts?
- Kicked out for what?
- Noise pollution.
- Seriously though.
Where is everybody?
- Is it your birthday
or something?
- No, it's not my birthday.
Why?
- 'Cause they're all hiding
like it's some kind of surprise.
- Maybe they knew
we were coming,
and they wanted to
give us some privacy.
- Privacy?
For what?
- Oh, Arnold.
My dear fellow.
This weekend there's
gonna be a lot of this.
And a shit ton of this.
- Mm hm.
- Of course, I remember now.
Yeah.
- Pardon?
I didn't hear you guys.
- Nothing.
- Maybe everybody here does
it like they do in Europe.
They take the afternoons
off to sleep or some shit.
- Maybe.
Nothing better to
do around here.
- I just hope the
diner's open, man.
I am starving.
- Come out, come out
wherever you are.
- Olly olly oxen free.
Ow, my ears are bleeding.
- Come on, Arnold.
Cut it out, man.
It sounds...
So bad.
- Dude.
- What is she seeing?
- Still artifacting.
It'll show up on that screen.
- Good.
Your name is Raquel.
Can you give me a flex?
And other arm.
- We should give her a makeover.
- That isn't important
at this juncture.
- Okay.
- You like it?
- So hot.
- I was asking Raquel.
- Hot.
- Total beauty bot.
- Total booty bot.
If you know what I mean.
- Way sexier than those
series one protectors.
- Way.
- Why the hell is she
dressed like that?
- The girls thought she
could use a little pizzazz.
- Uncle Sam isn't
paying for pizzazz.
Cleavage does not inspire
fear in the enemy.
Now when can she be ready
for combat exercises?
- Unnecessary.
- Redundant.
- What are they talking about?
- She's already completed
every combat simulation
the military has.
And created more on her own.
- Aced 'em.
- Smoked 'em.
- Well those are
just simulations.
- To her they're the same.
Don't forget she
lives in her head,
so to speak.
Her body is merely
a tool of her brain.
- I want to see her in action.
And put her in something
more appropriate.
- Something drab,
perhaps lots of pockets?
- Yeah, now you're talking.
- Later.
- And do something about her
manner of speech, will ya?
- I'm so stocked for this.
- What is it?
- Emotion emulator.
- The emulator will
evolve with her
to meld with her
other programming,
so she better
understands her choices.
Eventually, the programs
will run as one.
- A gun with a conscience.
Beautiful.
Okay ladies, it's 5 o'clock.
It's been a long day.
I'm going for a detox.
Goodnight.
- The place is so cool.
- Clearly not cool
enough to have any gas.
- We'll ask someone
at the diner.
- There's nobody here.
Anywhere.
- It's like a ghost town.
- That's why it's so cool.
- It's kinda scary
if you ask me.
It's not normal at all.
- Aw, big Arnold will
protect you though.
Won't he?
- Leave him alone.
- I would though.
- Would what?
- Protect you as
much as a wimp can.
- You're not a wimp.
- Certified.
- Can we go eat now?
- I second that.
- Yeah, let's stuff our faces
before we stuff each other.
- Hello.
- Is anybody here?
The one place I
wanted people to be.
At least somebody who cooks.
- Maybe they're all on
some sort of siesta.
- And leave the doors unlocked?
- I don't know.
I have heard of little towns
where they do messed
up shit like that.
- Yeah, I think
this is one of them.
- Of course.
- What?
- No service.
- Same.
- I like to unplug
every now and then.
Really be present.
Just enjoy my
surroundings, you know?
- Yeah, that's so cool.
Speaking of presence,
where's the jukebox.
- Okay?
- Well, it's not a real
diner without music.
Any suggestions?
- Yeah, shut up.
- I heard Jingle Bells.
- I wish a parade would come
through right about now.
- Babe, can you go in the back
and see if anybody's
here, please?
I am starving.
- Sure.
Holy shit.
Guys, guys, guys.
- Who would do
something like this?
- Is this why there's
nobody in town?
Because they're all...
Like this?
- Somebody go outside.
Check their phone again.
- I'll go.
But you're coming with me.
- Yeah, of course I am.
- What do we do?
- I don't know.
- Is he really dead?
- He's alive.
- He's alive.
- Red eyes.
- I'll go get him some water.
- Anything?
- Zip.
- Luke, I'm so scared.
- It's gonna be okay.
Don't worry.
- Don't worry?
- I don't know.
That's what people say, okay?
- Wait, I saw one of those
things on the way into town.
- What things?
- A phone building. I don't
know what they're called.
But let's go check it out.
- You mean a phone booth?
- Yeah, how did you know that?
- I saw Superman.
- Wait.
- I got the water.
- It's too late.
I think he's dead.
- Did he say anything else?
- No, just that red eyes thing.
- Red eyes.
That's a weird
last thing to say.
- Taps.
Seems appropriate.
- Not now, Arnold.
- Okay, now what?
- I don't know.
- You said you saw Superman.
- He changed his
clothes in here.
He didn't make no
damn calls to nobody.
Hello?
Hello?
Hand me a credit card.
- Okay, where does it go?
- Like I know.
- It says you have to
put a quarter in it.
- Nobody carries that kind
of cash around anymore.
Crazy.
- Wait, wait, wait.
I saw a regular phone
at the gas station.
Let's make the call from there.
- Okay, let's go.
Hey.
Hey, lady.
- You're the first
person we've seen.
- Oh, can you please
help me with my car?
- No, this is an emergency.
- Babe, she might be able
to give us a ride home.
Okay, I'll take a look.
- It just looks like...
You've got a loose wire.
- Who the hell was that?
- Who or what the heck is that?
- What is happening?
- We've got to get outta here.
- Someone has to
come eventually.
Right?
- We can't stay.
Anybody who does
something like that
will find her way
in here big time.
- Yeah.
- What are we gonna do?
What are we gonna do?
- What happened?
- Jess just got
killed in front of us.
- What about Luke?
- We all hope Luke
is holed up safely
in a tiki bar on the
outskirts of town but...
- But what?
- But I don't think
there is a tiki bar
on the outskirts of town.
- The van.
We have to get to the
van and get out of here.
- The van is out of gas.
- There are at least enough
fumes to get us some distance.
- Okay, we should
all go together.
So if one of us gets hurt,
the rest of us can
get to the van.
- No look, one of us goes.
- I'm gonna go out there.
If I don't come back,
at least you guys have a
chance to get out of here.
Keys.
- I'm not giving
you the keys, Val.
- Give me the goddamn keys.
- You're not going
out there, Val.
Look.
If anyone, it's
gonna be me, okay?
It's about to get dark.
I'll go out at nightfall.
And I'll bring the
van right here.
Right to these steps, okay?
If I'm not back in ten minutes,
I'm not coming back.
I got this.
- Man.
There was supposed to be so
much more of this all weekend.
- You bring that van back,
and you can have this and more
for the rest of your life.
- 10 minutes.
Give me 10 minutes.
If I'm not back,
have a plan.
- I always do.
- So if he's not
back in 10 minutes,
do we have a plan?
- He'll make it back.
- But do we have a plan?
- Nope.
- So much for that 10 minute
plan. It's been hours.
- We have to leave this diner.
- We should meet Sam halfway.
- No, we have to
go somewhere else.
That thing, that machine.
She knows we're here.
- But Sam.
- He's dead.
We have to go now
if we want any
chance to survive.
- I agree.
There's a door out back.
We should use it.
- I'm too scared.
You guys go without me.
- No, you have to come with us.
- Come back for me.
Promise?
- I promise.
- This place is so--
- So rustic.
- So cute.
- Nice here.
- Who cares.
Why are we here?
- Well we believe that
this is where Raquel came.
- She may have cut the grid
so we couldn't track her.
It would've been too weak
for her to access
other AI from here.
- She was here, all right.
- Ew.
- Ew.
- This looks like
your girl's handiwork.
- She's a...
- Bad bitch.
- She's a formidable opponent.
I like that.
- I feel like things
have died down.
Let's head for the van.
- No, it looks too easy.
Could be a trap.
What's with the white truck?
- I don't know.
Let's scope it out.
Just stay low.
- Okay, let's go.
- So far so good.
- So where's that truck?
- I could've sworn
it was right here.
- Where do we go?
- That cabin.
They could have a phone.
- Let's do it.
- This place looks safe.
Let's hold up here.
- We gotta find a phone.
- Look.
She's leaving a trail.
A trail of carnage.
- You think?
- She's leading us right to her.
This way.
- Anything?
- Nothing.
- Same.
- You've been deleted.
- Did you hear that?
- Mari, she's gone.
Oh my god.
Is she?
- I'm afraid so.
Listen.
I work better alone.
You stay here and hunker down.
I'm gonna go find her.
Put an end to this.
- We need to find another plan.
- What do we do?
- Gunshots.
Oh no.
It's that evil
fucking bitch again.
- What are we gonna do?
She can get it in here.
- Pray.
- Okay.
- Look.
- Hey.
- Somebody else is
coming to get her.
- I feel like we
should be helping.
- I think we are.
- What?
- By sitting here
and doing nothing.
- She's coming back for us.
- What are we gonna do?
- That's just it.
- What's it?
- At the diner,
you played the
shitty fucking note.
It confused her for a second.
- Shitty note?
- Arnold, you're a
terrible musician.
But you may just save our lives.
- Okay.
- What are you doing?
Play.
- I can't perform under
pressure like this.
- You blow into that thing
like you've never
blown before or else.
- Okay, okay.
Silent Night, Silent Night.
- Skip that part
and get to the end.
- Okay, okay, okay.
- It's working.
- Blow harder.
- Blow.
- Keep blowing.
- Blow.
- She's down.
She's down.
You did it.
You got her.
- Are you guys okay?
- Will be in one minute.
- Go get her, Arnold.
Thank you.
- Kat.
Kat.
