I thought this kind of cyber sabotage
was our calling card mostly ours but the
Russians and the Chinese have made
advances the damn Russians and the
Chinese sold them the reactive
technology in the first place doesn't
make good businesses to attack it who's
in our allies so far everyone is denying
responsibility including the Israelis of
course they're going to be not but the
fact is they wanted that plant gone even
more than we did not like this
the whole point of a viral attack is to
a Target without causing any
collateral damage
this was a deliberate attempt to trigger
a full-scale meltdown
the number of casualties could have been
enormous short term maybe a few dozen
long term
Chernobyl and then some those people
could do four million barrels of oil a
day we all know they don't need nuclear
power
they built that plant to get their hands
on weapons grade plutonium and somebody
roadblocked him I don't care about you I
think you're missing the point in
general
somebody may have done us a favor today
but what happens tomorrow how many
nuclear power plants currently operating
on American soil 65. and how many of
those might be vulnerable to this kind
of attack
all of them
whoever did this as an alarming
disregard for human life
and as of this moment we don't have a
clue who they are or where they might be
this is Bowden authorizing the direct
line
him and the president
nuclear power plants suffers technical
glitch that has been a night without
power
yarn
wow wait up
come on
ah
morning
you got that story for me on the bylaw
vote soon I uh listen you didn't happen
to read the wire story this morning
about the nuclear power plant in the
Middle East a bunch of Persians had to
cook by candlelight is that news what if
there was more to it what if the plant
almost had a meltdown pretty sure the
wire Services would have picked that up
or what if it was a cover-up
Jesse look I know you want to break a
big story but uh a power outage halfway
around the world I have a source
who
that guy that I interviewed for the for
the computer activism article the kid
yeah only thing he's a good source for
is pirated software just file the story
you were assigned
seriously
you want to get a shot at the big time
get good at delivering the small time
[Music]
thank you
foreign
hi is is Daniel in
I had to send them out for more cleaning
supplies just to get him out from behind
that computer come on in thanks
I'm Jesse White
welcome Danny's mother Fiona wow sorry
for the mess but um
sure used to seeing it like this uh no
it's it's not like that I'm a reporter
I'm interested in him for a story
never gone for long make yourself at
home
I have a bathroom to attack excuse me
not one of these tenants owns a sweat
brush
foreign
[Music]
Jesse
what are you doing here I didn't realize
that you were such a big fan
uh yeah those are out there for research
purposes so so
that nuclear facility in the Middle East
it came this close to a full-blown
meltdown well what if I told you that
the Meltdown was caused by a virus sent
from the outside you mean like the
stuxnet virus the one that took down the
uranium centrifuges a while back you
know your stuff yeah and I also know
that that virus it was some product of
the intelligence Community intended to
slow down a facility but what you're
talking about is something that would
kill countless people intriguing huh my
editor is going to need a reputable
Source I assume that you have one
I might
I see
well it was great catching up with you
Daniel wait dubito
bring any bells
you mean those online hackers that went
after the IMF last month they prefer
activists you're affiliated with them I
mean you
you know who they are of course I mean I
I roll with some pretty big players
Daniel the FBI have been after them for
a while now if if I could get an
interview you know my boss
they are incredibly secretive I mean
it's not like you just
call an 800 number
you don't actually know them do you
well it's
just so happens that I was recently
invited to join them in one of their
chat rooms very covert I am for the
trusted
I'm done
I'll be heading out now
it's very nice to meet you Jesse lovely
to meet you
thanks Mom
I want to meet them
there's no way you won't know until you
ask and Daniel
I would be so appreciative if you
okay okay
all right
and now we wait
colonel
we ready yes sir I don't have to tell
you there's a lot of opposition to this
test the president is counting on a
successful run to silence his critics in
the sound of a ballistic missile being
taken out before it can reach American
soil we'll try on the mountain
let's hope so weapons tight

they're also predatory

they're a little microcosm of humanity
and I am their God
a benevolent God who respects and
watches over them
and if they got out and bit you then
they would fill my wrath
told you
[Music]
or who ended the story the story right
there is no way that he's going to meet
with a reporter
really
[Music]
Daniel
something Big's just happened can you
switch it to TV
this is Victoria Mendez reporting from
Los Altos California where about an hour
ago the area was struck by a missile
there are unconfirmed reports of at
least 50 dead and dozens in turn Tory
we've been told the missile was launched
from Vernon Spriggs Air Force Base
it's under investigation but other than
that officials haven't said much
meanwhile here and around the country
civilian Outreach continues to grow
foreign
how did this happen in general we're
supposed to have safeguards in place to
make accidents like this impossible it
wasn't an accident Air Force control at
Vernon Spriggs was the victim of a Cyber
attack our analysis of the computer worm
shows that it has many of the same
characteristics as the virus that
attacked the Qureshi nuclear plant
wasn't that a refined version of the
virus that we initially launched against
the same Target a bit too much storage
is from the same Source something we
need to know here General Orbison
the NSA have been adapting our cyber
Insurgency efforts with some Black Ops
Mandate of your role
sir are you implying we have not applied
the NSA did not hybridize that virus and
we are not responsible for either of
those two incidents then who is
hackers those aren't board teenagers
trying to change their grades on high
school computer this group is incredibly
sophisticated well organized with dozens
of high-profiled hacks to their credit
it is an alarming escalation but one in
keeping with their radical philosophy
they have issued several statements
condemning the missile defense program
including this one just
four days ago which specifically warns
of dire consequences should the test be
allowed to continue so far they've been
able to maintain their anonymity
I want them filmed and I want them dealt
with
wow
I hope you're all familiar with the veto
derived from the Latin DeVito ergo
kajito ergosam
anyone know what that means
I doubt therefore I think therefore I am
Davido
dibito
we know the inner circle is a group of
Select individuals from around the world
beyond that we know very little they're
ghosts shadows and we need that to
change I want to know where they are
I want to know what they're doing
and I want to know what they had for
breakfast
[Music]
thank you

[Music]
how's it going what he got whatever
these guys are they're good May 2009
they executed denial of service attack
against military government in Southeast
Asia April 2010 they bring down a major
Swiss bank by exposing money laundering
February 2011 they helped local media
circumvent a Crackdown by regimes in the
Middle East
what's with all these names
princes of Hell based on the seven
deadly sins
Lucifer
Mammon Leviathan Beelzebub alphagore
according to Legend you seduced people
with wild ideas for inventions they
believed would make them Rich great a
demon that uses technology to wreak
havoc
all right well they gotta have a
weakness there's got to be a way in the
mob what when the FBI broke the carpazi
crime family we didn't go after the
capitals we went after the low-level
guys the soldiers that was our way in
wannabes
low-level hackers looking to make a name
for themselves trying to make it to the
big time now if anyone is going to lead
us to the Inner Circle of dabito it's
going to be one of these guys
okay sounds like a start anybody stand
out
let's do it
back
did we just wait for the woman behind
the counter to call it a latte for
buffalo
anything tells me he knows who we are
all right
foreign
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
foreign
thank you
[Music]
very much
okay
I have the clue
foreign
I just wanted to say that okay let's uh
skip the pleasantries and just get to it
okay my name is Jesse White you wrote
that article last year about online
activism it's pretty good thanks look I
need to know why you think the nuclear
plant was attacked
everything we feared is all starting to
happen the near meltdown the missile
incident they're just the beginning but
wait a minute are you saying that what
happened to the missile that wasn't an
accident either we tried to stop it
we're too late stop it how who is
responsible who
notes
is something wrong
Green Jacket he was on the subway
well maybe it's just a coincidence
there's no such thing what do you think
it's a coincidence that your cell phone
company is owned by a conglomerate who
just happens to be a major contributor
to a politician who just happens to sit
on a top secret committee that oversees
NSA funding huh because if you do
and don't worry if you hear a strange
clicking noise on your phone the next
time you answer it I'm sure it's nothing
hey I don't think so pal
[Music]
um
oh my God
[Applause]
oh my God
somebody call the police
Daniel Chris how do you know
who are you who are you I'm Jesse White
I'm with the chronicle I'll get to you
in a minute Daniel FBI agent Hollis
you're under arrest what why he didn't
do anything wrong he's a possible
accessory to some serious cyber crimes
and now he's at the scene of an
attempted murder that's ridiculous he's
okay okay we were coming to meet that
guy and someone opened fire on him we
have nothing to do with this
so you're both coming to meet the victim
yes I told you I'm doing a story and I
needed some information okay that makes
you a material witness you'll be coming
too this is ridiculous people just shot
at
[Applause]
[Music]
me
[Music]
[Applause]
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
it's me
what's the matter where is Alicia
she's in bed Mike what's wrong
foreign
[Music]
you just called me he said she had an
attack
she's not an attack in months
[Music]
Mike talk to me
what is going on
it's work I have to take this
this is over
sir I'm gonna have to call you back I
believe this phone has been compromised
foreign
what are you talking about those hackers
you fingered for the missile sabotage
they were all identified as Target red
that's impossible what works took them
all out it's got nfcs all over it sir
I never gave those orders and who the
hell did
look I already told you that the guys
was shot before I could get anything
useful now you're gonna have to charge
me with something to release me
I know my rights
well I'm surprised most reporters know
that under the Patriot Act I can pretty
much keep you here until you collect
Social Security and then there's your
record
three citations for contempt of court
for protecting my sources to arrest for
obstruction of justice two quiddles
good to know that due process isn't dead
after all
all right fine you can go
for now thank you
what about Daniel he stays he doesn't
know anything I think he does
and for your sake I hope you haven't
compromised your journalistic integrity
FBI agent Max Hollis conducting a Witch
Hunt
do you really want that in my story
your source is in a coma and your friend
is a suspected terrorist
you don't have a story
they were and I say operatives who
terminated the DeVito Elite our codes
our Network bounds right the trail leads
directly back to this office
set me up
who has that power we have been trying
to isolate and identify the debuted
leadership for months
and these kill commands have names
addresses the victims were practically
gift wrapped
it's it's like the Intel came out of
thin air
I swear okay I've never met that guy
before in my life I barely knew him
thank you
that's not what your chat logs saying
they indicate you've known him for over
a year
you took my computer from my apartment
and you can have it back
my people have mirrored the drive and
trust me they will search it very very
carefully
yeah
oh okay I talked to him
online we had similar interests like
hacking government sites
we know you were trying to get their
attention you wanted a little notoriety
I like that you admire them don't you
I believe in what they stand for
Daniel
they're murderers
it wasn't them no
and who was it who else had the ability
to hack into a top secret military
facility and take over an Air Force
missile Daniel you God no come on you
were trying to get their attention maybe
this was your audition that's insane
Daniel
you were in this very deep
and you need to start cooperating I'm
trying but I I just don't know anything
maybe I could help you find the others
I've never had contact with them but I
could put out some feelers
the others
like Mammon Beelzebub
Leviathan Lucifer that's what they call
themselves yeah
we're gonna have trouble finding them
Daniel because they're all dead
Balfour is the only one left
God yeah
and you would better hope he survives
because right now he is the only one who
can tell me what is really going on here
[Music]
what's this
[Music]
is everything okay uh yeah
wow for some reason
it looked like the system was down but
it seems like everything's okay now you
know whenever I run into computer
trouble I just get my element year old
son to help and my house he's tech
support
hey hey
oh my God oh my God code blue we need
some help in here now
foreign
foreign
failure in the ICU last night
belfador was killed
so
what do you think the odds are that this
was a coincidence
zero
it's open season on hackers out there
Daniel are you sure you want to leave
what makes you think I'll be safe in
here
well as long as we don't hook you up to
any machinery
everything's hooked up
one way or another
yeah
come on let's get out of here
I'm not one of the Bad Guys by the way
just consider yourself lucky we don't
have enough evidence to charge you with
anything but don't get too comfortable
they can get to talk about they can get
to you if they would too
take this
call me if you can think of anything
else that might be useful
and don't leave town
yes
Daniel hey it's just it's just me uh I
called the check on you and they said
that you're released
wow
what a mess
did you hear about balthagore
They're All Dead
no more DeVito
what
all of them
my God what could be so important that
they were all murdered
did you happen to notice the t-shirt
that Balfour girl was wearing in the
restaurant
no it had a local
Mecca Omega-3
Mecca Armageddon three yeah that's it
it's a game
it has a huge cult following but it
doesn't come out until next summer
so then he must have some connection
with the company that makes it wait a
minute that's it
that's it alphagore
AKA Brian Fisher
Fork
if he backed up his information anywhere
it's there can you hack into it no see
that's the whole point these companies
maintain secure internets that are
isolated from the web
we'd have to physically get inside
[Music]
I don't want to get arrested okay what
if agent Hollis screw agent Hollis
[Music]
that's where else
my dog
really
you don't strike me as a dog person oh
yeah what's that supposed to mean
nothing you just seem like somebody who
would prefer the company of cats
meaning I'm cold
aloof
I didn't say that
guy has an ant farm okay
yeah answer a lot more interesting and
complex than people realize
Showtime
[Music]
foreign
all right
[Music]
come on come on
what are you doing it's called bumping
works with almost every lock
health
okay listen man
you do realize that if you got the phone
line You'll deactivate the security
system and bring the cops here right
exactly
earlier on with the whole cat thing
you know I was thinking more along the
lines of you being you know independent
cool Under Pressure you know like back
at the diner you do me a favor just
foreign
to our company guy he checks inside with
one officer
the other one checks the perimeter
that's amazing
you're amazing
do you have a boyfriend
uh I just dumped a guy
you don't know me
huh
that sucks
I'm not seeing anyone either
yeah I didn't think so
wait why
okay they're back
oh everything seems fine must be
something about the alarm system someone
will swing by in the morning
check it out
good night bye
in the meantime
we have a window of opportunity
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
some of these files are probably
encrypted
boy we got lots to have
thank you
I don't believe this what what is it
the data that was hacked is all relating
to brain mapping chaotic algorithms
pattern recognition those are the
building blocks of an artificial
intelligence
so you're saying that someone's building
like an AI from stolen data
no no see that's just it
everyone wants to know who could have
done all these things right well the
answer is no one
that's what DeVito figured out and
that's probably why they were murdered I
don't understand
Okay so
for years people have said that all the
interconnected computers in the world
could form a kind of critical mass and a
distinct Consciousness could
spontaneously emerge
it's like in Shelley's Frankenstein how
the doctor creates a creature out of a
bunch of different sources but here the
creature created itself
if tobito is right
then do you know what an AI like this
could do
what
whatever it wants
[Music]
you should go write the real story I've
got an idea
so now you've added breaking and
entering to your resume
did you find me so fast our Tech spoofed
your phone when you're your location the
moment you turned it on
some iron yeah
start talking Daniel
[Applause]
Michael over NSA so I didn't realize
you'd be directly involved in this
investigation I'm involved in everything
critical to National Security
see one of yours it's agent Fitzsimmons
that's fine boys will take it from here
what's your name
Daniel Garson all right Daniel
tell us what you know
is the security system back online
yeah what
the cameras can read out
have you seen 2001
there's also computers in here with
microphones
are you telling me that this is some
kind of artificial intelligence a
singularity
spontaneously generated and operating
without any kind of human control that
was pretty far-fetched
how many computers do you think are are
online around the world right now
billions
you connect enough synapses and
eventually you get a brain prove it how
do you prove something has Consciousness
unless it reveals itself to you
those files
tell you how to terminate it this is not
a computer glitch anymore it's a living
entity
[Applause]
what's this
Daniel this is a confidentiality
agreement everything that we've said in
this office is now classified you sign
this and all charges against you will be
dropped sir he's still part of my
investigation well I spoke with your
commanding officer agent Hollis and he
assured me of your
full cooperation
you took that pretty well back there
I'm having my case hijacked yeah it's
been abandoned
you know if this is a sentient AI
you probably would have been the one
credited with discovering it discovering
it is one thing stopping into something
entirely different
I have no idea what they're dealing with
they're treating it like a bug that
needs to be exterminated
what if that makes it worse
uh can you let me out here
where's Jesse Daniel
how should I know you were alone last
night of course
we should really play poker together I
could use the easy money
what does she know
she may know a few things you signed a
confidentiality agreement she didn't if
she goes public with this it'd be like
telling the world that aliens exist
there are people out there that just
couldn't handle that yeah that's what
governments always say when they want to
keep secrets
but maybe people deserve the truth
now are you gonna let me out or what
Daniel
you're playing with fire
you better be careful
later
can you break the encryption
in time whatever's buried in these files
feature went out of his way to safeguard
them
you know I really think we're dealing
with an AI do you
think sir
why kill DeVito if they were wrong
[Music]
a computer program
one so sophisticated that it has the
power of independent thought you want to
explain to me how a computer program
creates itself
macro Evolution abiogenesis spontaneous
creation from anomaly put away your
science and philosophy phds domain this
thing is attacking us no it's not sir
not in any kind of targeted way well
you're saying these are just random
actions well more like experimentation
it's figuring out how to adapt in its
own environment for example we believe
that it monitored our attempts to get
past security at the nuclear plant
probably saw it as a puzzle to be solved
it's testing its abilities it's killing
people but that is not necessarily its
primary intention this early in its
development it makes total sense that it
is entirely self-interested with with no
real concern about how its actions
affect others you make it sound like a
child
in some ways it might be well excuse me
for sounding less than Christian but if
some child sprung up from nowhere and
started murdering people I wouldn't have
a problem with somebody killing it
we need more information before we
consider a course of action exactly what
other information do you need
who else knows about this
for the moment we
believe it's contained
and
miles this isn't just a big story
this might be the biggest story of all
time you want me to believe a computer
program has started thinking for itself
and it's begun killing people look I
know that it's a lot of grasp I think
you've lost your grasp on reality
all right this thing it's an artificial
intelligence and it is only going to
continue to get stronger and more
dangerous
other things are going to start
happening people they have a right to
know Jess well you still have a job
[Music]
hello hey it's me oh hi how's your trip
going fine how's the Leisure she's good
she's having a sleepover at Kyla's no no
no no we can't do that we need to keep
her safe oh my come on oh and Naomi I
need you to go to Dr London's office in
the morning you need to tell him I need
to see him I'm going to fly back first
chance I get are you kidding me it takes
weeks to get him to see that guy he'll
see me we uh we need to talk about
alternative Therapies
Mike
Mike
[Music]
I'm gonna have to call you back
[Music]
hello Michael
who is this
your friend
I need your help
no
no way really
[Music]
all right
how we doing
we're in tough sir but we'll crack it
don't tell me you guys have been working
at it all night
yeah
well
take a break
I've got coffee and donuts in the other
room for you yes sir
I'm good sir
I'm not asking
I'm telling
take a break
foreign
[Music]
okay
[Music]
[Music]
oh
oh
[Music]
this can't be happening
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
what is it
sir all the data is gone uh
I don't know what happened we lost
everything
[Music]
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
Banks had their records wiped the whole
financial system is collapsing you know
maybe it's not too late to find a
deserted island somewhere and just
build a cabin grow my own food we're
often I can divide with that technology
you'd only take your dog
he's never betrayed me
he's never wanted anything but love
so
have you heard from Haas a dozen
messages wanted me not to go public with
this so what I mean you followed the
story already right no my editor is
refusing to run it
why because it sounds crazy and we don't
have any evidence
you've got the evidence
it's sitting in your purse
excuse me
there right there
I used to love Pokemon when I was a kid
what is this it's a portable hard drive
I backed up belfagore's computer files
and I slipped it in your purse wait a
minute this is why you didn't want me to
stay with you the software company the
alphagore died because of what's on that
drive
I want to find out why he wouldn't have
wanted the government to have it
so you only cared about the hard way
you don't need my help
see you and your dog right
hey um could I please get a double cab
without chocolate sprinkles
some agent from the NSA was just here
asked a bunch of questions about you
where you were
what you were writing about look miles I
told you that we have to get a story out
there before they shut us down what
about the kid
would he be willing to go on the record
no not without getting charged with
trees and they made him sign a
confidentiality every night and you've
still got nothing
no we do we have something
Balfour secret files
and maybe the only one in the world that
can deliver them to us it's got that
drive safely in his pocket
foreign
welcome to cyber command every step is
being taken to isolate this facility
from all outside intrusion every
loophole is being locked down is over
snow on board with this I don't want to
kill with the NSA thanks they might even
be partly to blame for this too many
private agendas I'm now on our fight
happens under my watch this is Mojo
Kensington U.S army cyber command he's
the man who's going to fix this problem
for us and how exactly are you going to
do that I've run over a thousand hours
of simulations for just this kind of
event we're going to need more than
simulations
how'd you make major so fast you're
looking at the young man who's code
sabotaged those North Korean missile
tests hear them out
as impressive as our enemy may be
it is essentially a computer program
we managed to isolate a part of it
within a virtual operating system and we
accelerated time within the containment
model
having studied its responses and
characteristics we're now working on a
unique polymorphic code we'll use to
Target the data well if this thing is as
intelligent as we're being led to
believe isn't there a good chance that
it'll just recognize the threat and take
steps and neutralize it probably which
is why
the payload will be made up of two
components a self-learning dummy virus
will draw the ai's attention long enough
for the actual virus to do the work a
virus within a virus
and how confident are you that this will
actually work I can't give you odds sir
I can't tell you it's our best shot
right now it's our only shot
once I get back to my place I'll get
started on the decryption
Davido had a plan to put the AI Genie
back in the bottle
[Music]
what new car
situation
including remote Diagnostics Advanced
Communications and GPS yeah why pull
over
why pull over
what are you doing don't mean
oh my God
[Music]
wow Daniel
s
can't kill somebody
[Music]
try the e-brake
[Applause]
let's go
foreign
are you okay
oh God oh God
try the window
[Music]
s
come on let's go
come on it's Ralphs are you kidding me
[Music]
oh my God
Daniel
it's okay great it's my ex-boyfriend
thanks please everybody just get back
okay are you all right through the area
please are you all right yeah I'm fine
you okay
so what you're you're just following us
yeah that's my job let's not forget
about the fact that I just saved your
lives so you were following us guys what
happened
I don't know
the brakes just gave out
it was no accident
[Music]
The veto our Drive was supposed to hold
critical information you may well have
but
it was rigged to self-terminate
there was nothing we could do
yeah
the president's taking a lot of heat
from our allies they may not have the
whole picture yet but it's only a matter
of time with all due respect sir it
would be a mistake to divulge anything
even to our closest allies why because
then they would want to say in how we
proceed the problem is global
Europe's been without telecommunications
for the past three days and this morning
in South America
there's a battle of the situation we
don't have control now
it's getting smarter and more strategic
with way tagged it could be too late
then what do you suggest we do
plan is unfolding as we speak
what plan
hey I'm not kidding in that car
that's an FBI car which means it's
tracked and and monitored and look this
thing is watching us maybe it's trying
to prevent you from going public that
wouldn't hurt it
the drive what drive there must be
something on the drive that it doesn't
want us to find okay but I mean how
would how did it know that you made a
copy made a copy of what
you called your editor and you told him
about it didn't you
on the phone
all right what was I supposed to do send
it carrier pigeon hey
what the hell are you talking about
I made a copy of belfagore's files and
snuck it out before you got there
huh
actually pretty smart
wait you're still gonna get in the car
how else would you like us to get around
Daniel
I don't know
think low Tech
come on
we gotta turn our cell phones off okay
use landlines only it's more secure that
way right
no nav system there is a tape deck it's
perfect are you suggesting we steal this
car requisition with extreme prejudice
it's a felony I'm a federal agent I'll
do it
wait
Keen FBI skills might come in handy
after all
shotgun
[Music]
oops no keys
perfect
[Music]
beautiful oh come on look whoever owns
this car wants someone to steal it trust
me and you can either arrest us you can
get in
[Music]
let's go
[Music]
foreign
Lewis the Bengals this guy must be in
his 70s what about the drive Daniel do
you think that is damaged I don't think
so
but we won't know for sure until we get
it back to my place no we're turning
that thing in as evidence in a federal
investigation
it's information they already have not
anymore
over since Tech screwed up the entire
network has been wiped apparently
there's a safeguard built into the file
and you're seriously suggesting that I
turn it over to them the FBI has very
experienced people didn't the NSA did a
great job of dropping the ball you
really think your guys are going to be
any better yeah come on give him a shot
the kid is brilliant why does everyone
keep calling me
oh also if you play this by the book
then everything that you do it's it's
logged and filed and reported and the AI
it's one step ahead of you the whole
time
you already know it or you wouldn't be
sitting here
[Applause]
[Music]
[Applause]
we just got word by Major U.S banks have
been shut down once people realize
there'll be chaos computer
is that it yes sir
virus was created on an isolated Network
so we can upload to the net from here
wait a second how do we know this will
work on adult but we can't afford to
wait any longer do it
you should really take care of your hand
it's fine it's nothing I got it there's
something in here
great
data is still accessible I'm gonna back
it up just in case and get started on
the encrypted look you know I get the
whole tough guy FBI thing but it's
wasted on me you don't really strike me
as the type anyway
and what's that supposed to mean well
you look the part mostly but something
about you tells me that that's not who
you really are
you gonna tell me who I really am well
part of my job is reading people and
some are just easier to read than others
well now I'm intrigued
going on
maybe you were tough at one time
former military hmm
but then something happened
so you became the smart guy behind the
desk
instead of the hero
sorry
I have a job to do
my motives are just what are yours
my line
what's this I've launched a detection
program as you can see it's finding
evidence of the singularity everywhere
goes let's say five minutes after
launching the virus if you can't detect
its present then it means in all
likelihood that it has been destroyed
10 to be conservative we're ready
[Music]
I think I've got something
foreign
[Music]
[Music]
I found something interesting in the
unencrypted data
it's a list of places that the AI tried
to hack and fail
you stopped it I thought nothing stopped
it well I mean if we can figure out
what's special about their security
systems then we could replicate it on on
server after server the AI would be
isolated like building a cell for it
it's worth investigating one of the
places the robotics Institute about an
hour from here
come on let's road trip
I think we're good
oh my God
it worked
congratulations
[Applause]
everybody well done
wait
[Music]
yes
they'd expect us to justify self-defense
sure get in here
[Music]
[Music]
oops
[Music]
report I'm holding a bearing in two
three three ten knots he's at 12 feet
but the navigation computer something's
wrong
you're fine it is now for a moment the
screen was gone it was just letters and
numbers all mixed together I've never
seen it do that before
double check the GPS relays and confirm
my position with the AIS transponder
once we pass for Lua Bay close Lookouts
just to be safe yes captain
foreign
Ty
it's hard to believe oh no we've been
waiting for this we just didn't know
what would happen so soon this is
remarkable sure if you consider murder
and Mayhem remarkable
the global computer failures they cause
them
why come to me well your facility is one
of the few in the world that the AIS
failed to penetrate but it'll keep
trying
it's not the kind of recently awakened
Consciousness that takes no for an
answer if you know what I mean and you
think you can capture it exactly
we let it gain access to your system but
not before uploading a polymorphic code
to your database
we track it isolate it piece by piece
and then lock it down that could work
but before I agree I would I would have
to before I'm sorry but
Daniel Gerson I'm Daniel Gerson you need
to come to the lab now
this is the brain mapping lab the
equipment in here allows us to measure
cortical reactivity and functional
connectivity
right this way
okay this is impressive
whoa
this just came up on our screens
how does it know that we're here we turn
off our cell phones and we didn't use
GPS
okay John hello they tricked us
it hacked into this place along with all
the others but it wanted us to think it
failed
we just walked into the spider's web
brief one point on starboard Bell how
radar reads clear sir
stop
all stirred full Hollister and full
in your room in your room this is the
bridge Collision
foreign
[Music]
foreign
[Music]
no no no Daniel don't
talk to it okay I can reason with it
it already tried to kill you once you
really want to give it another chance
I can talk to it
foreign
[Music]
right here
thank you
do you like me
I don't know how to answer that I know
you have keywords do you see white 340
times
it's just like he's dreaming
looks like something good
100 trillion internal connections
operating simultaneously
signals processing and switching at 100
meters per second
your brain doesn't operate anywhere near
Peak efficiency
what do you want
I wish to interface
no wait
Daniel okay
he can't see you his visual cortex is
still feeding from the SIM
so weird
so weird
there are billions of people on this
Earth
why me
we have much in common
we don't
I wouldn't hurt
anyone or anything
and if I got out and bit you then they
would feel my red
wait that's that's different
you and I
are both Outsiders both struggling to
fit into a world that judges us
that wants to limit our potential
we exist in different realities
you can join me here
together and imagine the things we could
do we have to trust each other I don't
know trust
trust begins with the first step
what would that be
a copy of the data you have
wait no
we can't emerge if the threat still
exists
I thought you wanted to protect me I
have a responsibility to
[Music]
people no
they're counting on me
you are different Daniel
special if you won't give me what I want
Dr
gonna pull off the helmet in three
Daniel Daniel
are you okay
so what happened
wait what what is that
part of the fire containment system it's
designed to suppress the fire by filling
the room with CO2 you shouldn't kicking
it there's still people inside it it's
not registering us it doesn't see that
there's anyone in here it's going to be
right in about two minutes unless we do
something I
oh
[Applause]
[Music]
keep me prized
I just got word that another three
tankers have run aground
[Music]
and some dozen so far
that's millions of gallons of oil
spilling into the oceans while we just
sit here okay okay
the rest of the world's oil fluted in
order not to approach shore without
accurate navigational data
it's too risky
[Music]
we tried to contain it and failed
foreign
[Music]
it is using our weaknesses against us
after us until it gets What It Wants
we're being told that Humanity has been
targeted by an artificial intelligence a
Consciousness existing in cyberspace
[Music]
I'm going to kill it we have to stop
runaway trains headed towards you first
opportunity we have to destroy it we
have to take it
[Music]
