We need to give Americans a product they can love, a figure they can rally behind.
Liz Kline Sir, I have dissected this bill. There are no loopholes. We can't put a machine on the streets.
Forget machines. You saw the polls. Americans don't want a machine. They want a product with a conscience. They want something that knows what it feels like to be human. We're gonna put a man inside a machine.
Liz Kline Dr. Norton, how... how is he doing this?
His software is faster. His hardware is stronger. He's a better machine.
Kline But you said humans hesitate.
Only when they're making decisions.
Kline He's not making decisions?
Well, yes and no. In his everyday life, man rules over the machine; Alex makes his own decisions. Now, when he engages in battle, the visor comes down and the software takes over, then the... the machine does everything. Alex is a... he's a passenger, just along for the ride.
Kline But if the machine is in control, then how is Murphy accountable? Who's pulling the trigger?
When the machine fights, the system releases signals into Alex's brain making him think he's doing what our computers are actually doing. I mean, Alex believes right now he is in control, but he's not. It... it's the illusion of free will.
We have a problem. Alex is breaking protocol.
Liz Kline What's he doing?
He's off solving his own murder.
Oh, that is genius. Why didn't I think of that?
Clara, take David and get out of the way now! [they step away] Raymond Sellars, you're under arrest for the attempted murder of a police officer.
Are you here to cuff me? All right. Go 'head, cuff me. You can't. You're not programmed that way. If you go against the program, the entire system shuts down, so.
Liz Kline You don't even have a warrant. We'll overlook this little...
Get down on the ground and put your hands behind your back.
I'm just from marketing.
Now!
Ok, yep, yep, yep Yep [lies prone together with Kline]
Alex, we need to work together here, because I'm the only one with the technology to keep you alive.
Dead or alive, you're coming with me. [forced to crouch down]
All right. [to security guard] Weapon. Alex, honestly, I mean you no harm. If I wanted to, I could have killed you a long time ago. I just aim this right at your head and blow it off.
Sellars, please! Don't!
I mean, if I wanted to, I could just aim this [points weapon at Clara and David] at your little family and I could just kill them too. And really, there's nothing you could do about it because, let's face it, you're a robot. Do you understand that? [sees Alex preparing to fire at him] Alex.
[Both Sellars and Alex shoot, and Sellars is killed instantly]
