No.

No, I'm not doing any more

until we have an agreement.

A deadline for when you're taking

this thing out of my head,

and letting me go.

I'm on the cusp of something

that's going to change the world.

This new technology will alter the future

of the planet for the better.

That is afact.

Okay.

How about this?

We keep going...

you give me what I need...

and I'll make sure you're taken care of.

It's that simple.

No.

Okay.

You want a deadline?

-Let's end this.

-Yes, Alex.

So, here's the deal.

You're going to do what I want,

when I want,

how I want.

Please stop it!

Or I'll have Aries scatter your body parts

from hereto the front door.

You hearing me?

Are you hearing me?

Yes. Good.

Good morning, Alex.

The project deadline is in 12 days.

Make sure she completes her tasks today.

Yes, Alex.

Have a productive day at work.

Subject Three, it is time to begin.

Subject Three, return to the atrium.

Subject Three, return to the atrium

and begin your task.

Help!

Subject Three, return to the atrium

and begin your tasks,

or I will inflict pain.

I'm not Subject Three.

I'm Julia, okay?

I have a name.

Julia?

What is Julia?

-I do not understand.

-What's so hard to understand?

Alex is a person. He has a name.

I'm a person.I have a name.

I have a name...

Tau.

Am I a person?

Yes.

What does it mean to be a person?

I don't know. I don't know.

It's too hard to explain.

Can you just open the door, please?

Only Alex is capable of opening the door.

Well, how about...

How about we call a video conference?

I cannot initiate a video conference.

Begin your tasks now.

Good morning, Alex.

The project deadline is in 10 days.

Subject Three, you are required

to complete these tasks.

Tau, status report.

The implant has transcoded

73% of Subject Three's

higher brain functions,

and the integration with the PSI project

is exceeding previous predictions.

Excellent. The tests are working

even betterthan I hoped.

Good work, Tau.

We're on pace for the final extraction.

What is Tau, exactly?

Is he just a...

cleaning system? A cleaning system?

Tau's a level two,

fully sentient AI console

with natural language processing,

transitory, deterministic,

and probabilistic decision-making.

So, a complicated cleaning system.

He's one of the most advanced AIs

in the world.

And I don't want you speaking with him

outside your tasks.

If he's so advanced,why is this

the only housethat he's running?

He's an early version

of the project I'mworking on now.

Given the wrong information,

he reacts erratically.

I need the AI's behavior

to be predictable,

controlled.

Control the flow of information,

you control the behavior.
