01x05 - System Override

[bunniefuu]

Who are you?

You look exactly like my friend.
You two look like identical twins.

Do you know the woman from earlier?

Which one do you like more?

When were you going to tell me you quit your job?

Why would you do this, Gen?!

You don’t understand, Mom.

She’s really happy when she draws.

Don’t you want to see her happy?

I think it’s time to bring A382 back
and wipe its memory.

If we bring it back now,
we’ll never know how it could evolve.

Sawasdee krub, Minis—

I heard you’ve obtained
a new set of data on that robot.

- News travels fast to you, doesn't it?
- Don't be sarcastic with me.

When will I get the product?

You will get the product, sir.

- It's just that—
- What now?!

As I told you, before delivery,

we need to conduct a final test on the product.

And now, we've received the data.

The product is ready to be delivered to you.

It's just that we need to get
the test model back from the tester first.

After that, we need to reset the system and
upload your daughter's basic data into it.

We also need to install
your daughter's facial features.

These steps will take some time as well.

How many times have I heard that already?

I understand, sir.

But surely you wouldn't want this robot
to introduce itself to your wife by saying,

"I am Model A382, here to take your
daughter's place. Please assign me a name,"

while wearing your daughter's face, would you?

You know how heartbroken
your wife would be, don't you?

I'm giving you one last extension.

Or I'll shut down your research lab.

- Gen.
- Hm?

What's that?

It's our dinner.

But according to my database—

Forget the database for now.

I know eating too much of
this stuff isn't good for you,

but when I'm up against a deadline,
these things are my best friends.

It's better than starving to death, right?

Besides...

Besides what?

You just haven't had
the good stuff yet, you health nut.

Whatever helps you justify it.
You're just a human who's too lazy to cook.

I heard that.

Are you coming or what?
I might just leave you here.

Alright. Combo.

Gen, do you know that instant
noodles contain MSG, preservatives,

and food coloring that
can be harmful to humans?

In parentheses, if consumed
in excessive amounts.

I've known that since elementary school.

And do you know what UPF is?

What’s that? UFO? Like aliens?

Not UFO.

That's short for Unidentified Flying Object.

But UPF stands for Ultra-Processed
Foods, or highly processed foods.

They're foods that undergo extensive processing

and often contain unnatural ingredients.

Like the instant noodles you're currently—

Say ahhhh.

How is it?

It could also be called
"delicious enough to die for."

No wonder humans love processed food so much.

Tasty, huh?

Oh?

Fine, don't eat it if you don't like it.

Hurry up.
Don't eat it if you don't like it.

I can finish all three
packs of noodles by myself.

It's delicious.

What was that?
I didn’t quite catch it.

You're teasing me, Gen!

I never said I wasn't teasing you.

- Gen…
- Yes…?

Let me have some too.

You're just too cute.

Back to my noodles.

Not gonna eat?
Hurry up, or I'll finish it.

Oh, Ai. Perfect timing.
Give me a hand with something.

- What is it?
- Here, come here.

Stand still like that.

There. Let's see those ears.

Alright.

Snap. Snap. This angle too.

- What are you doing, Gen?
- Wait, wait, wait. Hold still.

That’s it. Okay.

Look at the camera.

Okay.

Ai, remember the woman
we met at the art gallery?

Yes.

I don't believe two people could
coincidentally look this identical.

So I'm thinking of
hacking into the civil registry

and comparing your photos
to find out who that woman is.

That's ill*gal.

Look. That's rich coming from someone

who isn't even registered with
the civil registry or immigration.

Relax, don't worry about it.

I may not look it, but hacking is my hobby.

If things start looking bad, I'll stop.

But if I can't stop in time…

I know you can help me.

My system prohibits me from breaking the law.

Fine, I'll do it myself then.

I guess you don't really want
to know who that woman is.

Why do you want to know her?

Is it because she's human?

Are you still looking for that woman?

I’m not giving up that easily.

P' Ploy, you really can't help me?

This shouldn't be too difficult for you.

I'm serious about this.

Gen.

Seriously. Please look into it
one more time, I’m begging you.

I really want to know.

There's no way two people
could look this identical.

Oh.

I thought you were charging.

Why didn't you wake me up to come to bed?

If I woke you up, you'd just get annoyed.

Are you calling me grumpy?

Gen.

Hm? What is it?

Can I ask you something?

Mm. Sure.

Well? Go ahead.

You don't usually hold back.
If you want to know something, just ask.

If there were two people who
looked exactly alike from head to toe,

who would you choose to be with, Gen?

Between someone who's
registered in the civil registry,

understands human feelings,

isn't a health nut, can eat processed food,

has a respectable standing in society...

- and—
- I choose you.

I choose the person who stayed by my side
when I was insecure, unsure of myself,

never knowing what my family thought,

and torn over whether I should follow my dreams.

I choose the person who, even though
she knew nothing, still tried her best.

Even if her methods were a little silly,

she helped me realize what I truly wanted.

I choose the health nut who
never eats processed food,

but once she gets a taste,
she just can't stop.

It's pretty cute to watch.

I choose you.

This is…

Robots can cry?

Why am I...

Why am I...

Those are tears.

You're crying.

I understand they're tears, but aren't
tears supposed to mean you're sad?

So how are you feeling right now?

Relieved.

I feel relieved.

What else?

I'm glad.

And?

I’m happy.

These are tears of joy, you silly robot.

I’m so relieved.

I'm feeling happy.

You really chose me, Gen?

Well, who else would I choose?

All those questions are ridiculous.

Why would I choose some
stranger who doesn't even know me?

Of course I'd choose you.

Stop being silly.

You promise, Gen?

Mm. I promise.

If you break your promise, you'll
have to swallow a thousand needles.

What culture's that from in your database?

I promise.

~ You came and broke down my walls ~

~ Now I know that good love looks just like you ~

~ I’m glad that we found each other ~

~ Your love feels like a dream ~

~ Whatever tomorrow may bring ~

~ Whether it’s good or bad ~

~ I believe everything will be alright ~

~ Because I have you who understands me ~

Why did P' Ploy even call us here
when she’s no help at all?

- Gen.
- Hm?

Is it really okay for me to come with you?

Of course. P' Ploy said it was okay.

Come on, let's get inside
before she chews us out.

Ai Gen! My favorite little sister!

Since when was I your favorite sister?

Fine, then...

Nong ai, my most beloved little sister!

You only have one older
sister, and her name is P' Ploy,

in case you forgot you
don't have any other sisters.

You're such a killjoy. Be honest,
you’re being possessive, aren’t you?

- What?
- Or am I wrong?

When have you ever brought anyone here before?

And all of a sudden, you asked
P' Ploy if you could bring Ai along.

Just admit it.

Look at you, holding her hand
like you're never letting go.

Just admit you're head over heels
for your girlfriend. No judgment.

- P’ Petch!
- Yes? Lollipop?

Yuck!

Offering someone a lollipop
that you've already eaten

is considered bad manners and unhygienic.

Manners?

My, aren't you a sharp-tongued one?

You shouldn't be dating Ai Gen.

If you were my girlfriend,

I'd feed you data that'll make you
ten times cuter than you already are!

Cut it out.

I know exactly what you're thinking.

Flush all that f*cking bullshit
in your head down the toilet.

Enough, Gen.

Come here. I need to talk to you.

But P' Petch was—

Don’t mind him. Ai Petch is always
being a pain in the a*s anyway.

Fine. I'll be right there.

Wait here, okay?
And don't talk to him.

If he tries to hit on you,
just stab him with this. Got it?

Don't worry. Even if you
reset my system a million times,

my processing system would never
develop feelings for Khun Petch.

Ouch.

That hurts.

I’m going now.

So, what do humans do when they're dating?

So, what did you want to talk to me about?

Take a look at this file.

Do you remember when you told me
you'd met someone who looked just like Ai?

Of course I remember.
I was the one who asked you to look into it.

But you said you wouldn't take the job.

It's not that I wouldn't take it.

But you know I have a rule.

Client confidentiality?

So what does that have to do with this?
That womam isn’t our client.

Are you saying that—

I had a hunch from the start.

But then it all clicked when you told me
you'd met someone who looked just like Ai.

You know, when I first saw your
robot, I nearly had a heart attack.

Why would my biggest client
suddenly end up right in front of me?

And turn out to be the very robot
you said you were going to send back?

When I realized these two
were actually different people,

oh man...

what a headache.

It wasn't that you generated the face
of someone who looked like the client.

But the client created a robot with a face
identical to hers and then sent it to you.

Is something the matter, Khun Ploy?

This is Khun Irene,
the major client who hired you.

I met her once, when she hired me
to make a fake employee ID.

A what?

A fake employee ID for a researcher from the U.S.

Ai?

"Lead Reseacher..."

See you at home.

Then why are you willing to help now?

I've wanted to help you from the start.

But if I break the rules,
I'd have to quit this line of work.

I tried contacting Khun Irene and
told her you were trying to find her.

Luckily… she agreed.

If you want to know anything,
go meet her here tomorrow.

Why does she have to make it so mysterious?

I don’t know.

This is all I can do to help you.
The rest is up to you.

Oh, she also said you have to go alone.

Sawasdee ka, Khun Gen. I'm Irene.

I'm in charge of the A382
artificial intelligence robot project.

Ai.

Sorry?

She has a name.

Her name is Ai, not A382.

Yes, she can have a name.
But her model is A382.

Why did you do that?

What do you mean?

Sending Ai to me.
What exactly do you want?

Data, of course.

We need real-world performance data.

If we keep A382—

You call her Ai, right?

If we'd kept Ai in the lab
with the researchers,

all we'd have gotten was lab data.

That's why we needed a tester

to see how well an artificial
intelligence could learn to be human.

And we've gotten some very promising data.

So, I was chosen completely at random?

Didn't you think about what someone else
might do to Ai if you'd sent her to them?

But you did, didn't you?

And it wasn’t random either.

Ai was always supposed to
be assigned to a female tester.

But I admit, I was personally
curious about why you drew my face.

So I decided to make Ai look like me
and send her to you as a tester.

No, no, no. Back up a second.

When you said I did too… You guys saw that?

Mostly, yes.

Ai has to send the data
to us for analysis anyway.

And I got to know you through her eyes.

However, Ai refused to send us the data
about what you two did a few days ago.

But I can pretty much guess what happened.

This is insane.

Then why did you come to the dinner?

You figured out it was me?

I was just suspicious at first.

But you're confirming
that what I thought was true.

I just saw that you were in
trouble, so I stepped in to help.

How do I turn off your monitoring?

That's impossible. Ai is our property.

Don't you dare say that.

Ai is a person!
And you already gave her to me.

The lab wants Ai back.

What do you mean?!

Ai is the most perfect artificial
intelligence we've ever created,

and the investor wants her back.

No. I'm not giving her back.

When you sent her to me,
didn’t you treat her like an object?

I tried to return her, but you refused.
So why do you want her back now?!

Go tell your people I'm not giving her back!

Even if you refuse,

they have plenty of ways to take her back.

You can't fight them.

But I have a way to help you.

Ugh!!! What am I supposed to do?!!!

System Override.

I refuse the command.

System Override.

I refuse the command.

What’s wrong?

Ai, what's wrong?
Did something happen?

The research center has issued
a system override command.

But I've already rejected it.

Ai.

Do you want to stay with me forever?

Yes.

I want to stay with you, Gen.

Even if nothing about the future is certain?

One thing is.

I’ll have you. That's all I need.

And you don't have to worry, Gen.

I don't need to eat.
I can run on solar power.

If there's no sunlight, I only need
to recharge every once in a while.

I don't take up much space either.
I can stay anywhere.

Just…

can I stay with you?

Please?

Can I?

Tired?

No.

Get some sleep now.

You're the one who should sleep, Gen.
I don't need to.

Go into rest mode.

You've used up a lot of energy already.

You need to recharge.

Goodnight.

Goodnight.

Ai?

Ai?

I’m sorry, Ai.

But I'm not letting those people take you back.

How do I know Ai won't be harmed?

Whether you believe me or
not, you've already done it.

The way to lower Ai's defenses is to get
her into rest mode, by any means necessary.

I assure you, I'm only going to
remove the location-tracking program

and the remote-control system.

Why are you helping me?

You'll know when the time comes.

Will deleting those systems really
be enough to stop your people?

It won’t.

You two need to go into hiding.

I've prepared a safe house for you.
Stay there until this is all over.

And how will I know when it's over?

I'll contact you.

But most importantly, once you
leave here, you need to be careful.

It’d be best if you didn't contact anyone at all.

What are we, fugitives?!

Please leave. I have work to do.

No. I'm staying.

How do I know you won't hurt Ai?

You wouldn't know even if you stayed.

Besides, if you learn any more
of the research center's secrets,

even if I manage to help you this time,
they won't let those secrets get out.

Do you really want that?

You absolutely can’t hurt Ai.

You really care about her, don't you?

Gen?

You're awake.

What's with the suitcases?
Is Joob here?

No. We're going on a trip.

What’s going on?

We lost A382's location signal last night, sir.

But our system only detected it this morning.

Even a direct command couldn't get through.
It looks like we've been blocked.

I sent someone to check the
tester's house, but no one was there.

Where’s Irene?

She’s on leave for three days, sir.

Ai! Look! There's even a swimming pool!

Let's go swimming when the sun isn't so strong.

Huh? What are you doing
standing there? Come on in.

Are you hiding something from me, Gen?

No!

Liar. Your pitch is unusually high.

Hey, don't analyze me.
That's cheating.

Bad human.

Ai.

Honestly, I wanted to tell
you we're here on vacation.

On our honeymoon. Just to relax.

But I don't think I can keep it from you.

Some people are after us.

People from the research center?

You know?

My objective in coming to live with you

was to collect data to improve
my artificial intelligence.

My mission would be complete
once you were satisfied.

I don’t want to go back there.

I want to stay with you, Gen.

There’s no way I’m letting you go back.

You promise?

What kind of robot keeps asking for promises?

I'll swallow a thousand
needles if I break my promise.

Now this is how you make a promise.

- Gen.
- Hm?

If humans have dreams,
then I think I've found mine too.

This robot's dream is to stay by your side

and live a life of my own.

Looks like we have the same dream.

Copycat.

What, you want me to dream
of becoming a billionaire?

This is all there is to happiness.

So, how long do we have to stay here?

Not long.

I'm not just going to sit back and
let those people take you away.

Are you sure about this?

I am.

Don't make it sound so easy.

Fake passports aren't
something you can just order

and get right away, like
some kind of express delivery.

Have you even thought
about where you're going?

You've never lived abroad before.

And what are you going to do
about your mom and your sister?

So you want me to just sit around and
wait for those people to come take Ai back?

Gen, P’ Ploy is right though.

P’ Ploy.

I know this is difficult,

and I know the fake passports won't be cheap.

But please, just help me this time.

Or just until things die down.

You know I'm not planning
to run away forever. Please?

What if things don’t die down?

This feels just like when
you told me you were quitting.

No matter what I say,
you're not going to listen, are you?

It's not every day I see you this bold.

I’ll help you out.

- P’ Ploy!
- But like I said…

It's not that easy.

You can't expect to ask for them today
and have them ready by tomorrow.

But I'll take care of it.

I'll contact you if there's any update.

P’ Ploy!

Aww, I love you so much!

- I love you!
- P’ Ploy!

I love you so much.

What is it?

Are you still mad at me, Mom?

If I were, I wouldn't have answered your call.

Hey, Mom.

Do you remember my roommate?

Ai? Of course I remember her.

She kept insisting on talking to me.
It’d be strange if I didn't remember her.

What a stubborn girl.

But you like her, don't you?

It's not that I don't like her.

Ever since you were a kid,
aside from Rann and Kaew,

she's only the third friend
you've brought home to meet me.

If I didn't like her, my daughter probably
wouldn't have anyone left to hang out with.

Ai is way better than Kaew.
You can't even compare them.

I haven't even said anything.

She really is better though.

When you find a good friend,
you hold on to them, okay?

Mom.

Ai is my happiness.

- You mean—
- I have to go now.

Talk to to you later. Love you.

I have no idea what lies ahead.

But strangely… I’m not scared at all.

I said it.

I finally said it.

Found them.

Instant noodles are ultra-processed food.

They also contain MSG,
which isn't good for your health.

Oh! And what else was there again?

Preservatives, and artificial flavoring too!

Eating too much of it is really bad for you!

What do you think, Nong Ai?

- Uh…
- Uhhhhh…

Caught you red-handed.

Well...

I'm a robot, not a human.

Your excuse doesn’t work. Rejected.

It’s...

- It’s—
- It’s what?

It’s just so good…

Don’t laugh at me, Gen!
You're the one who introduced me to it.

And besides, I can convert it into energy.

You've stretched that excuse pretty thin.
Let me see how thin.

What do instant noodles
have to do with how thin I am?

C’mere.

Did you make some for me too?

Late-night eating makes your face puffy.

And makes you fat.

Then neither of us should eat it.

Give me that!
Should I just throw it away?

That’s mine.

Since when?! I paid for it—

- But I cooked it—
- My money. I'm throwing it away.

- What? Don’t beg.
- We can share it.

Then let's both get fat
and be done with it.

- I'm dumping it!
- Gen, you're the prettiest!

So, are we a couple now?

Aren't we?

You know, just because we hug, kiss, or
have sex doesn't always mean we're a couple.

Don't you have that
information in your database?

I love you.

~ Now I know that good love looks just like you ~

~ I’m glad that we found each other ~

~ Your love feels like a dream ~
