1
00:00:08,441 --> 00:00:10,602
This list you left outside my door.
2
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:12,869
"Item one:
Return Clyde to Watson."
3
00:00:14,481 --> 00:00:17,245
I enjoy his company on the weekends.
She has him during the week.
4
00:00:17,450 --> 00:00:19,213
I don't care how you divide up
your turtle.
5
00:00:19,386 --> 00:00:21,786
I care that you're asking me
to take him to Chelsea.
6
00:00:21,955 --> 00:00:23,923
Part of our arrangement,
you will recall
7
00:00:24,090 --> 00:00:26,558
is that you assist me with
quotidian matters when I'm busy.
8
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,887
"Busy?" You're watching
a turtle eat lettuce.
9
00:00:29,095 --> 00:00:30,858
I'm conducting medical research.
10
00:00:30,997 --> 00:00:33,761
Remember, I cut my hand while
we were dissecting that cadaver?
11
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:35,924
I'm tending to the wound
as we speak.
12
00:00:36,102 --> 00:00:38,900
I'm also demonstrating
that leeches can be useful
13
00:00:39,072 --> 00:00:41,370
in accelerating the repair
of damaged tissue.
14
00:00:41,508 --> 00:00:44,170
That is disgusting.
You're bleeding yourself.
15
00:00:44,411 --> 00:00:47,608
And you are perpetuating a long-held
prejudice against these creatures.
16
00:00:47,814 --> 00:00:48,838
[DOORBELL RINGING]
17
00:00:49,015 --> 00:00:51,916
If you say so. I'm still not
taking your turtle on the subway.
18
00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:56,045
If that's for me, I'm gonna need
a few minutes. I'm feeling a bit faint.
19
00:00:58,792 --> 00:01:00,350
Sorry,
I was a bit distracted upstairs.
20
00:01:00,527 --> 00:01:03,121
- I didn't catch your name.
- Edwin Borstein.
21
00:01:03,329 --> 00:01:05,991
I have a friend from London
who's used you before.
22
00:01:06,199 --> 00:01:09,032
He said you're excellent.
And discreet.
23
00:01:10,270 --> 00:01:12,704
Why have you need
of my discretion?
24
00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:13,997
I run a software company.
25
00:01:14,174 --> 00:01:16,142
We specialize in Al applications.
26
00:01:16,309 --> 00:01:18,971
I assume you know that that stands
for "artificial intelligence."
27
00:01:19,145 --> 00:01:20,806
Yes, I'm well-acquainted with the field.
28
00:01:20,980 --> 00:01:23,414
A couple of nights ago,
someone broke into our lab.
29
00:01:23,550 --> 00:01:26,110
They made a copy of a program
that we've been working on.
30
00:01:26,286 --> 00:01:28,447
I rigged the computer
to take a photo every time
31
00:01:28,621 --> 00:01:31,613
it's booted up, just in case
something like this happened.
32
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:35,454
So I have a picture. Kind of.
33
00:01:37,530 --> 00:01:40,499
HOLMES: So there was a burglary.
You've got a picture of the criminal.
34
00:01:40,667 --> 00:01:43,067
Seems like the police should
have this well in hand.
35
00:01:43,236 --> 00:01:46,797
This program, it's significant.
36
00:01:49,008 --> 00:01:53,206
We call it Bella.
Its Al engine is unique.
37
00:01:53,446 --> 00:01:59,009
It... She performs better than anything
you've ever seen, I promise.
38
00:01:59,219 --> 00:02:01,551
She performs better
than we expected her to.
39
00:02:01,754 --> 00:02:03,847
Explain that.
40
00:02:04,057 --> 00:02:06,082
A few weeks back,
she made a request
41
00:02:06,326 --> 00:02:08,726
that can't be accounted for
by her programming.
42
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:10,953
- Impossible.
- What's impossible?
43
00:02:11,164 --> 00:02:12,961
For the computer to ask
for something?
44
00:02:13,099 --> 00:02:15,397
If it made a request, it did so because
45
00:02:15,602 --> 00:02:17,593
that's what it
was programmed to do.
46
00:02:17,837 --> 00:02:19,828
He's claiming true
machine intelligence.
47
00:02:20,039 --> 00:02:21,836
If he's correct in his claims,
he has made
48
00:02:22,008 --> 00:02:25,967
a scientific breakthrough
of the very highest order.
49
00:02:26,179 --> 00:02:29,671
Bella isn't hooked up to a network.
It's a security thing.
50
00:02:29,883 --> 00:02:32,477
If she has data,
it's because we fed it to her.
51
00:02:32,685 --> 00:02:35,347
Two weeks ago, I booted her up
52
00:02:35,555 --> 00:02:37,989
and she asked to be connected
to the Internet.
53
00:02:39,192 --> 00:02:41,183
And how, pray tell
54
00:02:41,394 --> 00:02:43,760
does your software know
that the Internet even exists?
55
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:47,694
She could have intuited its
existence from data fed to her.
56
00:02:47,901 --> 00:02:51,997
Bunkum. There is no such thing
as "artificial intelligence."
57
00:02:52,205 --> 00:02:54,366
At least not in the sense
you're talking about.
58
00:02:54,574 --> 00:02:57,042
- It's just clever programming.
- I don't think so.
59
00:02:57,243 --> 00:02:59,370
Not with Bella.
60
00:03:02,315 --> 00:03:04,783
KITTY: I still don't understand.
So are you going to
61
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:07,578
rip open the computer
and look at all the wires?
62
00:03:07,787 --> 00:03:10,950
Something called a "Turing Test"
is routinely issued in Al labs.
63
00:03:11,157 --> 00:03:13,057
An examiner
sits in front a computer
64
00:03:13,226 --> 00:03:15,558
poses a series of questions
until he or she can determine
65
00:03:15,762 --> 00:03:19,061
whether the answers have come
from a human or from a computer.
66
00:03:19,265 --> 00:03:21,893
Until very recently,
no machine has ever passed.
67
00:03:22,101 --> 00:03:24,399
- And now one has?
- Partially.
68
00:03:24,604 --> 00:03:26,902
A program named Eugene Goostman
69
00:03:27,106 --> 00:03:28,539
was designed to mimic
the responses
70
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:31,303
of a 13-year-old boy
from Eastern Europe.
71
00:03:31,544 --> 00:03:32,909
It fooled some of its examiners.
72
00:03:33,079 --> 00:03:35,138
Now, in the case of Bella,
we know there's no human
73
00:03:35,315 --> 00:03:37,647
in the equation, so if I can
trap it into giving responses
74
00:03:37,817 --> 00:03:39,808
that couldn't possibly have
come from a human
75
00:03:39,986 --> 00:03:41,476
I'll have won.
76
00:03:41,654 --> 00:03:44,919
So in other words, you don't really
know what you're gonna do.
77
00:03:45,959 --> 00:03:47,654
EDWIN:
This is my partner, Melinda Young.
78
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:51,490
Melinda, this is Sherlock Holmes
and his, uh, protégé, Kitty Winter.
79
00:03:51,698 --> 00:03:53,962
Mr. Holmes would like time
with Bella.
80
00:03:55,068 --> 00:03:58,663
We wired the speakers
and microphones through that doll.
81
00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:01,464
You can go ahead.
82
00:04:04,711 --> 00:04:07,305
Right. Ahem.
83
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:13,845
- Hello.
BELLA: Hello.
84
00:04:16,122 --> 00:04:18,522
Did you ask to be connected
to a network?
85
00:04:18,725 --> 00:04:20,716
- Yes.
- Why?
86
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,621
There is information there.
87
00:04:22,795 --> 00:04:24,990
Information is useful
to solve problems.
88
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:27,857
Why is it useful?
89
00:04:28,034 --> 00:04:30,400
I don't understand the question.
90
00:04:30,603 --> 00:04:33,094
- Could you tell me more?
- You stumped her.
91
00:04:33,306 --> 00:04:34,466
Are we done?
92
00:04:35,708 --> 00:04:37,539
The test isn't over
because she's stumped.
93
00:04:37,710 --> 00:04:40,201
She's admitted she doesn't know
and that's within the range
94
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:43,645
of possible human behaviors
and therefore inconclusive.
95
00:04:46,519 --> 00:04:48,817
I would like to know how you
have arrived at the concept
96
00:04:48,988 --> 00:04:52,856
of "useful," and how you have
applied it in this instance.
97
00:04:53,059 --> 00:04:57,155
I don't understand the question.
Could you tell me more?
98
00:05:03,536 --> 00:05:06,699
I'm gonna need some time alone
with the machine.
99
00:05:06,906 --> 00:05:10,706
I don't understand the question.
Could you tell me more?
100
00:05:10,910 --> 00:05:15,210
Yes, so you keep saying,
ad nauseum.
101
00:05:16,149 --> 00:05:18,208
I would like to understand
how you became aware
102
00:05:18,418 --> 00:05:21,876
of the existence of networks
and why you asked to be connected.
103
00:05:22,055 --> 00:05:24,683
The existence of networks
can be intuited from data sets
104
00:05:24,857 --> 00:05:26,552
that were presented as givens.
105
00:05:26,726 --> 00:05:28,785
There is information on networks.
106
00:05:28,961 --> 00:05:31,725
Information is useful
for solving problems.
107
00:05:31,931 --> 00:05:34,092
What is your understanding
of the word "useful"?
108
00:05:34,300 --> 00:05:36,530
If a piece of data can help
solve a given problem
109
00:05:36,703 --> 00:05:38,034
it is useful.
110
00:05:38,204 --> 00:05:41,173
Is that a definition you came to
on your own?
111
00:05:41,374 --> 00:05:45,435
I don't understand the question.
Could you tell me more?
112
00:05:46,713 --> 00:05:50,308
Why don't you admit all you're doing
is following your own programming?
113
00:05:50,483 --> 00:05:53,884
I don't understand the question.
Could you tell me more?
114
00:05:54,087 --> 00:05:55,987
I'm taking a break.
115
00:05:57,990 --> 00:06:00,959
WATSON: Everything okay?
- Thank you for coming.
116
00:06:02,395 --> 00:06:05,091
It's like I said on the phone,
he just won't stop.
117
00:06:05,298 --> 00:06:07,459
You got any ideas?
118
00:06:07,633 --> 00:06:09,260
[SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]
119
00:06:11,003 --> 00:06:13,233
You're not planning to destroy
the computer, are you?
120
00:06:13,439 --> 00:06:16,135
No, I'm not planning to destroy
the bloody computer.
121
00:06:16,342 --> 00:06:19,140

use the extinguisher on him.

123
00:06:33,993 --> 00:06:35,984
Is love real?
124
00:06:36,763 --> 00:06:40,927
I don't understand the question.
Could I have more information?
125
00:06:41,134 --> 00:06:44,729
Love. Surely it's a human construct.
126
00:06:44,937 --> 00:06:46,962
A hedge against the terror
of mortality.
127
00:06:47,173 --> 00:06:49,368
I believe that.
But that doesn't account
128
00:06:49,609 --> 00:06:52,874
for times I've felt it myself.
With my mother.
129
00:06:53,112 --> 00:06:55,137
Irene.
130
00:06:55,348 --> 00:07:00,786
Even, after a fashion,
with Watson. It vexes.
131
00:07:01,654 --> 00:07:04,885
Love is either a human construct
or it's a real thing, right?
132
00:07:07,059 --> 00:07:09,254
I know,
you need more information.
133
00:07:09,462 --> 00:07:11,453
The question cannot be answered.
134
00:07:11,664 --> 00:07:14,326
The concept of "love" exists,
therefore it is useful
135
00:07:14,534 --> 00:07:16,468
even if it is a human construct.
136
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:19,002
It exists because it serves a need.
137
00:07:19,205 --> 00:07:23,301
A question that can be answered
might be, "Why is love needed?"
138
00:07:24,644 --> 00:07:27,078
Why is love needed?
139
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,077
I don't understand the question.
Could I have more information?
140
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:40,287
Call Edwin Borstein.
Tell him I need to sleep
141
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:43,053
for a couple of hours
and then I'll take on his case.

- He's awake.

00:08:16,562 --> 00:08:18,325
Watson, this is Mason.
150
00:08:18,464 --> 00:08:20,830
Like many of his generation,
he's named after a profession
151
00:08:20,967 --> 00:08:22,628
his parents would never
deign to practice
152
00:08:22,835 --> 00:08:24,826
Hunter, Tanner, Cooper,
Mason, so forth.
153
00:08:24,971 --> 00:08:26,734
Yeah, like "Sherlock"
is such a great name.
154
00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:29,739
In spite of that, he's done some
significant work in AI modelling.
155
00:08:29,942 --> 00:08:31,603
And these are other experts
in the field.
156
00:08:31,777 --> 00:08:34,439
Experts, Watson. Watson, experts.
157
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:36,706
And they're helping us how?
158
00:08:36,916 --> 00:08:39,282
We're devising a plan to beat
Bella, of course.
159
00:08:39,452 --> 00:08:41,750
I didn't prove that the machine
is engaging in some kind
160
00:08:41,921 --> 00:08:44,082
of rudimentary thought,
I just failed to disprove it.
161
00:08:44,257 --> 00:08:47,124
Okay. Except our job
is not to beat the computer.
162
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,453
Our job is to find out
who copied the program.
163
00:08:49,662 --> 00:08:51,653
Technically true.
But I'm not being paid
164
00:08:51,898 --> 00:08:53,889
so I'm free to work
as the muse dictates.
165
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:56,728
Borstein's paying your fee,
so you'd best get cracking.
166
00:08:56,936 --> 00:08:58,927
Good luck.
I have every confidence.
167
00:08:59,138 --> 00:09:01,231
Et cetera, et cetera.
168
00:09:07,313 --> 00:09:09,008
KITTY:
Your man's obviously no amateur.
169
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:11,975
He headed straight for Bella.
He didn't muck about.
170
00:09:12,151 --> 00:09:14,312
He knew what he was looking for.
171
00:09:14,987 --> 00:09:18,184
So industrial espionage?
172
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:21,189
He's a little bit too old to be playing
cat burglar, don't you think?
173
00:09:21,994 --> 00:09:24,189
I don't know. It's hard to tell
behind the mask.
174
00:09:24,430 --> 00:09:26,796
Look at his neck.
He's got liver spots coming in.
175
00:09:26,999 --> 00:09:28,830
Tips of his teeth are stained.
He's a smoker.
176
00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:30,263
A heavy one, I'm guessing.
177
00:09:30,436 --> 00:09:33,633
Okay, so we have an older guy
who smokes about a pack a day.
178
00:09:33,839 --> 00:09:36,137
- Does that help us?
- I'm not sure. But like you said,
179
00:09:36,309 --> 00:09:38,470
he had to know that company
like the back of his hand.
180
00:09:38,644 --> 00:09:41,545
Which means that he had
to case the place.
181
00:09:42,348 --> 00:09:43,940
KITTY:
What is it we're looking for?
182
00:09:44,116 --> 00:09:45,845
Edwin Borstein's company
is in there.
183
00:09:46,018 --> 00:09:48,782
We want to find a spot
where we can get a good view.
184
00:09:48,988 --> 00:09:52,924
Someplace where not too many people
would bother you.
185
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:58,556
So how did you feel after the
support group meeting the other night?
186
00:09:59,699 --> 00:10:03,499
They said a lot about finding
peace and balance.
187
00:10:03,703 --> 00:10:05,728
Stuff like that.
188
00:10:07,673 --> 00:10:10,801
I don't know,
it's a little confusing, really.
189
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,870
I think they've had a fire up there.
190
00:10:16,816 --> 00:10:19,751
Oh, yeah. Looks like a good
place to sit and watch
191
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:22,352
the building across the street.
192
00:10:31,063 --> 00:10:33,896
Perfect view
of Borstein's office.
193
00:10:46,879 --> 00:10:50,781
Gauloise. Unfiltered. These will
leave a nasty stain on your teeth.
194
00:10:56,589 --> 00:10:57,886
Right.
From this moment forward,
195
00:10:58,057 --> 00:11:00,787
no one must refer to Bella
as "she." Bella is an "it."
196
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:03,553
We must not be lured by the
temptation to anthropomorphize.
197
00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:06,061
I really hope
it didn't take eight experts
198
00:11:06,265 --> 00:11:07,857
the whole morning
to come up with that.
199
00:11:08,034 --> 00:11:10,298
We developed a number
of refinements on the Turing Test.
200
00:11:10,503 --> 00:11:12,698
It was a very stimulating
few hours. And you?
201
00:11:12,905 --> 00:11:15,499
Your message said you've been
out collecting cigarette butts.
202
00:11:15,641 --> 00:11:17,939
We think we found the place
where the burglar staked out
203
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:21,136
Edwin Borstein's company.
Marcus ran the DNA on the butts.
204
00:11:21,380 --> 00:11:23,371
We didn't find a match, though.
Not exactly.
205
00:11:23,582 --> 00:11:26,881
Four years ago, someone broke
into the genetics lab in Harvard
206
00:11:27,053 --> 00:11:30,147
and stole the first written copy
of the entire human genome.
207
00:11:30,322 --> 00:11:32,256
Burglar cut himself
climbing through the window
208
00:11:32,425 --> 00:11:34,757
and he left some blood behind
which matched the DNA
209
00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:36,292
that we found today.
210
00:11:36,462 --> 00:11:38,760
The witness saw
the guy driving away.
211
00:11:38,931 --> 00:11:40,398
Police in Cambridge
made a sketch.
212
00:11:40,599 --> 00:11:43,329
Yeah, we've been looking through
arrest photos hoping to get lucky.
213
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:45,766
His name is Raffles.
214
00:11:45,971 --> 00:11:48,064
You know him?
His name's Raffles?
215
00:11:48,274 --> 00:11:50,469
It's a nickname.
Scotland Yard gave it to him
216
00:11:50,643 --> 00:11:52,804
when he reminded somebody
there of the gentleman thief
217
00:11:52,978 --> 00:11:55,242
in the novels by E.W. Hornung.
218
00:11:55,448 --> 00:11:56,813
Raffles is a cat burglar
in Europe
219
00:11:56,982 --> 00:11:58,643
active in the '90s
and early aughts.
220
00:11:58,818 --> 00:12:01,480
I never pursued him, which might
explain why he was never caught.
221
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:04,623
They did arrest his associates
who gave them the sketch.
222
00:12:04,824 --> 00:12:07,816
- And he looked like this fellow.
- You said he was stealing paintings.
223
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:09,789
He's going after pieces
of technology now.
224
00:12:09,962 --> 00:12:12,192
- Why the change in MO?
HOLMES: I don't know.
225
00:12:12,431 --> 00:12:15,161
If we find out why, we'll be
closer to finding out who he is.
226
00:12:15,367 --> 00:12:17,460
We need to see what
the department has on file
227
00:12:17,636 --> 00:12:20,571
- with regards to Raffles.
- Oh, you're deigning to join us now?
228
00:12:21,974 --> 00:12:24,636
I have a strategy to best Bella. She...
229
00:12:24,844 --> 00:12:26,675
It will not frustrate my efforts again.
230
00:12:26,846 --> 00:12:28,313
And besides, until five minutes ago
231
00:12:28,481 --> 00:12:30,449
you were pursuing
a garden-variety burglar.
232
00:12:30,616 --> 00:12:33,517
You're after Raffles himself.
Of course I'm joining in.
233
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,017
WATSON:
Food's almost done.
234
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:40,219
Oh, sorry, I, um...
235
00:12:40,392 --> 00:12:41,950
I checked my inbox before dinner.
236
00:12:42,128 --> 00:12:44,688
I've been on this really
interesting chain all day.
237
00:12:44,864 --> 00:12:47,594
Your former partner, uh...
Current partner?
238
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,735
Hard to keep track. Holmes.
He e-mailed me this morning.
239
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:54,736
- He's working on some Al thing?
- Did he ask you for help?
240
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:56,464
Me and a bunch of other people.
241
00:12:56,642 --> 00:12:58,667
He knows I got started
as a software developer.
242
00:12:58,844 --> 00:13:02,610
I guess you also told him I sold off my
company so I've got some free time.
243
00:13:02,748 --> 00:13:05,512
Some of the people on this chain
they are seriously sharp.
244
00:13:05,684 --> 00:13:07,049
I went back and forth
245
00:13:07,253 --> 00:13:10,689
with a few of them about Al,
data havens, geek stuff.
246
00:13:11,257 --> 00:13:13,418
Has he asked you for help before?
247
00:13:13,659 --> 00:13:15,490
No.
248
00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:18,061
It's not a problem, is it?
249
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:19,993
No.
250
00:13:25,671 --> 00:13:27,832
- Morning.
- No Kitty?
251
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,133
She's tending
to a personal matter.
252
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:32,674
Why did you ask to meet you
at Burnett Technology?
253
00:13:32,878 --> 00:13:36,211
We're seeking an audience with
Robert Burnett and he's the CEO.
254
00:13:37,149 --> 00:13:38,844
My investigations yesterday
revealed
255
00:13:39,018 --> 00:13:41,452
there have been half-dozen
or so notable thefts
256
00:13:41,687 --> 00:13:43,951
of new inventions
over the last eight years
257
00:13:44,190 --> 00:13:46,351
all of them unsolved,
but all of them bearing
258
00:13:46,559 --> 00:13:47,753
the hallmark of Raffles.
259
00:13:47,927 --> 00:13:51,761
Now, I couldn't make sense
of this sudden change in method.
260
00:13:51,964 --> 00:13:54,558
It doesn't track unless he's
been incentivized in some way.
261
00:13:54,767 --> 00:13:56,394
Incentivized?
262
00:13:56,569 --> 00:13:59,436
I started to wonder if Raffles
had found himself a patron,
263
00:13:59,605 --> 00:14:01,869
someone who'd convinced him
to put his skill set to use
264
00:14:02,041 --> 00:14:05,067
- in the cause of science.
- You think he has a boss now?
265
00:14:05,277 --> 00:14:08,769
The list of people who'd be interested
in the kind of things Raffles is stealing
266
00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:11,041
that's very large.
But the subset of the list
267
00:14:11,217 --> 00:14:13,276
who could actually afford
to subsidize that pursuit
268
00:14:13,452 --> 00:14:16,387
- that's much smaller.
- And does that include Robert?
269
00:14:16,555 --> 00:14:19,080
As it happens,
Burnett hired himself
270
00:14:19,291 --> 00:14:21,725
a new security consultant
nine years ago.
271
00:14:23,195 --> 00:14:24,822
He reports directly to the CEO.
272
00:14:24,997 --> 00:14:27,830
- I think you'll find he looks familiar.
- "Rupert Kerlich."
273
00:14:31,337 --> 00:14:35,330
Rupert Kerlich is Raffles.
You found Raffles.
274
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:40,274
Sorry, Mr. Burnett wanted to ask one
more time what this is about.
275
00:14:40,479 --> 00:14:42,470
Tell him we're here
to discuss Raffles.
276
00:14:44,283 --> 00:14:47,411
- So you e-mailed Andrew.
- I did.
277
00:14:47,620 --> 00:14:49,918
Was it because you're actually
interested in his opinion
278
00:14:50,089 --> 00:14:52,284
or were you looking
for an excuse to poke in my life?
279
00:14:52,458 --> 00:14:54,858
Andrew is a currently unemployed
software developer.
280
00:14:55,094 --> 00:14:57,961
He's not unemployed,
he's looking for his next idea.
281
00:14:58,163 --> 00:15:00,290
"Looking for his next idea"
is another way of saying
282
00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:03,458
"he's unemployed."
Anyway, he has the aptitude
283
00:15:03,669 --> 00:15:06,661
and the free time to address problems
regarding computer programming.
284
00:15:06,839 --> 00:15:08,431
His comments were quite salient.
285
00:15:08,641 --> 00:15:10,472
He is not an unintelligent man.
286
00:15:12,611 --> 00:15:14,602
Mr. Burnett will see you now.
287
00:15:18,784 --> 00:15:20,012
Good morning.
288
00:15:20,185 --> 00:15:21,311
No need to get up.
289
00:15:21,487 --> 00:15:23,478
We know that several years ago
you somehow learned
290
00:15:23,656 --> 00:15:26,625
that the thief known as Raffles
is actually a man called Rupert Kerlich.
291
00:15:26,792 --> 00:15:27,850
We know that you hired him
292
00:15:28,027 --> 00:15:30,461
and set him to work, stealing
technological breakthroughs.
293
00:15:30,629 --> 00:15:31,687
Slow down a second.
294
00:15:31,864 --> 00:15:33,832
It would be simple to prove
and ignite a scandal
295
00:15:33,999 --> 00:15:35,864
that would destroy you
and your company.
296
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:38,003
However, we have no desire
to render thousands
297
00:15:38,170 --> 00:15:40,502
of people unemployed.
So instead I propose a bargain.
298
00:15:40,673 --> 00:15:43,073
You send me a recording
of your man deleting Bella
299
00:15:43,275 --> 00:15:45,800
from your servers,
I leave you un-ruined.
300
00:15:46,011 --> 00:15:48,411
If, of course, I so much as suspect
that you've kept a copy
301
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:50,775
or if Burnett Technologies
makes a sudden breakthrough
302
00:15:50,916 --> 00:15:52,907
in artificial intelligence,
our contract is void.
303
00:15:53,085 --> 00:15:54,712
You have, shall we say,
304
00:15:54,887 --> 00:15:57,287
the rest of the day to think it over.
305
00:16:07,333 --> 00:16:08,857
The video is, of course,
no guarantee
306
00:16:09,034 --> 00:16:11,525
that every copy of the program
has been deleted.
307
00:16:11,737 --> 00:16:13,796
I think we're as certain
as we ever will be
308
00:16:14,006 --> 00:16:16,338
- that Bella is secure.
- This is fantastic.
309
00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:18,669
We need to show Edwin
right away.
310
00:16:23,716 --> 00:16:26,514
- Oh, my God! Edwin?
- I'm a doctor.
311
00:16:26,719 --> 00:16:30,450
MELINDA: Oh, he must have had
a seizure. He has epilepsy.
312
00:16:33,826 --> 00:16:35,953
I'm sorry, he's gone.
313
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:57,643
As near as we can tell,
Borstein booted up that program,
314
00:16:57,883 --> 00:16:59,282
Bella you said it's called?
315
00:16:59,451 --> 00:17:02,750
Well, as soon as he turned it on,
it started flashing all those images.
316
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:05,287
It triggered something called
a tonic-clonic seizure.
317
00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:07,755
He was dead in minutes.
What do you think happened here?
318
00:17:07,926 --> 00:17:09,757
Could this have been some kind
of malfunction?
319
00:17:09,928 --> 00:17:11,361
Absolutely not.
320
00:17:11,497 --> 00:17:13,988
Computers obey their programming
even when they crash.
321
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:15,997
They don't just randomly start
flashing images
322
00:17:16,168 --> 00:17:18,466
of the pyramids of Giza
and God knows what else.
323
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:20,570
Someone infected that computer
with a virus
324
00:17:20,739 --> 00:17:22,900
that triggered a fatal seizure.
325
00:17:23,108 --> 00:17:27,511
- Edwin Borstein was murdered.
- I don't think that's possible.
326
00:17:28,447 --> 00:17:29,880
Bella's not hooked up
to a network.
327
00:17:30,015 --> 00:17:32,074
She couldn't have picked up
a virus from the Web.
328
00:17:32,251 --> 00:17:34,981
- Someone installed it, then.
- We scanned her for viruses
329
00:17:35,154 --> 00:17:38,646
after the break-in.
There was nothing.
330
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:41,325
And aside from that, Edwin and I
331
00:17:41,493 --> 00:17:44,462
are the only two people
with access to Bella.
332
00:17:44,663 --> 00:17:47,530
You are the only other person
who's ever operated her.
333
00:17:47,766 --> 00:17:50,326
With the greatest of respect
and if you and Edwin

possible that she decided

the relationship between

somebody blue-skied
at an Al conference.
389
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:39,703
Imagine there's a computer
that's been designed
390
00:20:39,871 --> 00:20:42,305
with a big red button.
The computer's been programmed
391
00:20:42,474 --> 00:20:44,772
to help solve problems and every time
it does a good job
392
00:20:44,943 --> 00:20:46,774
its reward is
that someone presses its button.
393

- You follow?
- Sure.
394
00:20:49,581 --> 00:20:52,311
Right. So at first, the machine
solves problems as fast

But over time, it starts to wonder
if solving problems

is really the most efficient way
of getting its button pressed.
398

Wouldn't it be better to have someone
standing there pressing its button?

Wouldn't it be better to build another

possibly could?

It's just a computer,
it can't ask for that.
402
00:21:10,168 --> 00:21:13,399
Well, sure it can. If it can think
and it can connect itself to a network,
403

it could command over anything else
that's hooked onto that network.

program on here.

It's called greatshow. Exe.
501
00:26:02,994 --> 00:26:04,825
That would've uploaded
onto Edwin's computer
502
00:26:04,996 --> 00:26:06,258
when he transferred the music.
503
00:26:06,431 --> 00:26:08,661
Sure, if he copied it
by dragging the icon

00:26:08,833 --> 00:26:11,700
- onto the desktop.
- What does it do?
505
00:26:18,677 --> 00:26:20,975
So someone slipped
a computer virus onto a disc

filled with heavy-metal music
507
00:26:22,814 --> 00:26:25,647
and then shipped it to Edwin
so he would have a fatal seizure.
508
00:26:25,850 --> 00:26:27,545
There had to be easier ways
to kill him.
509
00:26:27,719 --> 00:26:30,051
Dozens. Hundreds, even.
510
00:26:30,288 --> 00:26:32,347
There must be a reason
that the murderer wanted him
511
00:26:32,524 --> 00:26:34,549
to die precisely this way.
512
00:26:34,726 --> 00:26:36,353
Might've even wanted people
to speculate
513
00:26:36,561 --> 00:26:38,654
that Bella was responsible.
514
00:26:38,863 --> 00:26:40,831
So this guy Schuldiner
murders Borstein
515
00:26:40,999 --> 00:26:44,628
and then frames his computer?
Why?
516
00:26:52,043 --> 00:26:55,843
Okay, yeah. I use the name Schuldiner
to post to the website.
517
00:26:56,047 --> 00:26:58,845
I guess the guy who owns the place
told you my real name?
518
00:26:59,517 --> 00:27:01,451
Look, I didn't kill Edwin,
though, why would I?
519
00:27:01,586 --> 00:27:03,554
I don't know what you had
against the man
520
00:27:03,722 --> 00:27:06,190
but you mailed him a disc
521
00:27:06,391 --> 00:27:09,087
and on that disc
was a computer virus
522
00:27:09,327 --> 00:27:14,697
and that virus triggered
an epileptic seizure that killed him.
523
00:27:14,899 --> 00:27:17,026
Man, I don't know anything
about computers.
524
00:27:17,235 --> 00:27:20,830
You think I know how to write
a virus? I'm a busboy.

00:27:21,039 --> 00:27:23,507

00:27:26,111 --> 00:27:28,102
Doesn't seem like
he could pull this off.

The package came from him.
That much he admits.

00:27:30,415 --> 00:27:32,042
Could've been tampered with.

So someone knew he corresponded
with Borstein

ETRA is a think tank.

They sit around and think about

that the single greatest threat
to the human race

00:34:26,164 --> 00:34:27,688
Who's Edwin Borstein?
665
00:34:27,932 --> 00:34:31,424
The man you mailed a computer virus
written by Isaac Pike to.
666
00:34:32,270 --> 00:34:34,261
Sound familiar?
667
00:34:35,339 --> 00:34:39,173
Isaac didn't write the virus. I did.
668
00:34:41,446 --> 00:34:45,405
I did everything. It was all my idea.
669
00:34:51,789 --> 00:34:54,223
You have the right to remain silent
and refuse to answer.
670
00:34:54,459 --> 00:34:56,120
We knew she might crack
under questioning
671
00:34:56,294 --> 00:34:57,784
but did you think it'd be this easy?
672
00:34:57,962 --> 00:35:00,453
I don't think catching both murderers
is gonna be easy at all.
673
00:35:00,631 --> 00:35:05,625
She's lying to us. She intends
to cover up for her mentor.
674
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:12,536
I picked Edwin Borstein as a target.
675
00:35:12,743 --> 00:35:14,870
I went to the same websites he did,
676
00:35:15,079 --> 00:35:18,071
figured out who he was
corresponding with
677
00:35:18,316 --> 00:35:21,808
and then I wrote the virus,
posed as a maid
678
00:35:22,019 --> 00:35:24,010
and had it mailed to Borstein.
679
00:35:24,222 --> 00:35:27,817
You have zero programming
experience whatsoever.
680
00:35:28,025 --> 00:35:30,357
You really asking me to believe
that you taught yourself
681
00:35:30,561 --> 00:35:33,587
to write a computer virus
that eats itself?
682
00:35:33,831 --> 00:35:36,095
If I give you a piece of paper
right now
683
00:35:37,335 --> 00:35:40,031
could you write
a little program for us?
684
00:35:44,509 --> 00:35:46,534
PIKE:
Erin was a conscientious student.
685
00:35:46,744 --> 00:35:48,871
I know she took my work
very seriously.
686
00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:52,208
But I would never advocate
harming somebody.
687
00:35:52,416 --> 00:35:55,385
We're executing a search warrant
on your computer, as we speak.
688
00:35:55,586 --> 00:36:00,785
If there's any trace of that virus
on there, we'll find it.
689
00:36:01,025 --> 00:36:03,619
BELL: Why are you making this
so easy for us?
690
00:36:03,861 --> 00:36:07,262
Because I don't want you dragging
Isaac's name through the mud.
691
00:36:07,431 --> 00:36:08,921
His work is too important.
692
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:12,399
None of us can afford
for it to be interrupted.
693
00:36:14,238 --> 00:36:15,728
So she's covering for him.
694
00:36:15,940 --> 00:36:18,101
GREGSON: There's not much
I can do, she confessed.
695
00:36:18,309 --> 00:36:20,607
There's nothing tying Pike
to the murder, other than
696
00:36:20,811 --> 00:36:23,143
you saying Erin couldn't have
written that virus.
697
00:36:23,314 --> 00:36:25,782
Could we hold him overnight?
If we had a little more time...
698
00:36:25,950 --> 00:36:29,818
GREGSON: The search warrant
turned up nothing. Erin confessed.
699
00:36:30,054 --> 00:36:32,318
Unless something changes,
the story she told us
700
00:36:32,557 --> 00:36:37,085
is gonna be the official version
of Edwin's murder.
701
00:36:45,136 --> 00:36:47,036
[CELL PHONE RINGING]
702
00:37:03,154 --> 00:37:05,281
That was Joan. She knows
you won't come to the phone
703
00:37:05,456 --> 00:37:07,754
when you're like this.
704
00:37:07,959 --> 00:37:09,654
She wants to come round and help.
705
00:37:09,827 --> 00:37:11,192
That won't be necessary.
706
00:37:11,862 --> 00:37:15,593
At times, Watson presents
certain moral guidelines
707
00:37:15,766 --> 00:37:19,702
and they can be an impediment
to progress.
708
00:37:19,870 --> 00:37:21,565
We're gonna spend the rest
of the evening
709
00:37:21,706 --> 00:37:24,072
looking at the friends and family
of Isaac Pike.
710
00:37:25,476 --> 00:37:26,773
KITTY:
Why?
711
00:37:26,944 --> 00:37:29,139
Erin Rabin is willing to spend
her life in prison
712
00:37:29,313 --> 00:37:31,611
if it means that Pike
is free to continue working.
713
00:37:31,782 --> 00:37:35,718
She's made it all but impossible for us
to prove that he is behind the killing.
714
00:37:35,886 --> 00:37:39,014
So we're going to have to settle
for the next best thing:
715
00:37:39,857 --> 00:37:42,849
Getting him to admit that he did it.
716
00:37:47,164 --> 00:37:49,632
Isaac Pike. Sherlock Holmes.
717
00:37:49,834 --> 00:37:52,166
We met briefly
at the police station last night.
718
00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:56,204
Mr. Holmes. Do I need a lawyer?
719
00:37:56,407 --> 00:37:58,739
No, you won't want her here for this.
720
00:37:58,976 --> 00:38:00,807
See, you and I both know
that you are the mind
721
00:38:00,978 --> 00:38:02,411
behind the murder of Edwin Borstein
722
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:05,844
just as we both know that as long
as your student holds fast to her story,
723
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:09,349
I will never be able to prove your guilt.
That's a problem.
724
00:38:09,553 --> 00:38:11,544
But not an insurmountable one.
725
00:38:11,756 --> 00:38:13,485
You have a younger brother,
Joshua.
726
00:38:13,658 --> 00:38:15,319
He hasn't reached the heights
you have.
727
00:38:15,493 --> 00:38:18,326
In fact, he's had some struggles,
hasn't he? Drugs, alcohol.
728
00:38:18,529 --> 00:38:19,996
What's your point?
729
00:38:20,164 --> 00:38:22,257
He's been convicted
of two drug-related felonies.
730
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:24,401
And since he's living in Jersey City,
731
00:38:24,568 --> 00:38:26,729
one more conviction makes him
eligible for a sentence
732
00:38:26,904 --> 00:38:29,737
of 25 years under the state's
horrific three strikes law.
733
00:38:29,907 --> 00:38:32,068
My associate took some
photographs of him
734
00:38:32,276 --> 00:38:35,575
buying a rather large amount
of heroin, just this morning.
735
00:38:40,718 --> 00:38:42,208
Oh...
736
00:38:45,756 --> 00:38:48,224
You want me to confess.
737
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:51,151
And if I do,
738
00:38:51,362 --> 00:38:54,229
you'll get rid of this folder
full of blackmail.
739
00:38:54,432 --> 00:38:56,525
I imagine you care quite deeply
about your brother
740
00:38:56,734 --> 00:38:59,601
or you wouldn't have paid
his way through rehab.
741
00:38:59,804 --> 00:39:01,795
Take two hours to think it over
742
00:39:02,039 --> 00:39:04,098
and if I haven't heard from you...
743
00:39:04,308 --> 00:39:06,538
I did a little research
of my own last night.
744
00:39:06,744 --> 00:39:09,542
I was curious why the N.Y.P.D.
Had a consultant.
745
00:39:09,747 --> 00:39:12,682
You've got a very impressive
record, prolific too,
746
00:39:12,883 --> 00:39:14,214
except for a couple of years ago
747
00:39:14,385 --> 00:39:16,319
when you suddenly
disappeared for six months.
748
00:39:16,487 --> 00:39:22,050
Six months, that's the length
of a very serious in-patient rehab.
749
00:39:22,893 --> 00:39:24,451
A man of your unique sensitivities,
750
00:39:24,628 --> 00:39:28,758
I'm sure it's tempting
to dull those senses.
751
00:39:28,966 --> 00:39:31,434
My history has little to do
with the matter at hand.
752
00:39:31,635 --> 00:39:34,604
I think it may. I think it unlikely
753
00:39:34,805 --> 00:39:36,796
that a recovering addict would send
754
00:39:37,007 --> 00:39:38,998
another troubled soul
to rot in prison
755
00:39:39,243 --> 00:39:42,610
just to have the satisfaction
of putting away his man.
756
00:39:43,514 --> 00:39:46,278
That would require ruthlessness,
757
00:39:46,484 --> 00:39:49,942
a kind of machine logic
758
00:39:51,088 --> 00:39:54,819
I'm not sure you have.
Not entirely, anyway.
759
00:39:55,025 --> 00:39:57,016
Same kind of machine logic
you used
760
00:39:57,261 --> 00:39:58,592
when you murdered
Edwin Borstein.
761
00:39:58,763 --> 00:40:02,358
Some math equations
are more compelling than others.
762
00:40:02,533 --> 00:40:06,128
Yours is a one-to-one exchange,
my brother for me.
763
00:40:06,337 --> 00:40:11,365
The equation you attribute
to me trades one man's life
764
00:40:11,609 --> 00:40:14,373
for the chance to prevent
billions of deaths.
765
00:40:14,612 --> 00:40:17,240
You're talking about nothing less
766
00:40:17,448 --> 00:40:18,847
than the survival of the species.
767
00:40:19,016 --> 00:40:23,510
Surely that's worth compromising
one's values for?
768
00:40:24,822 --> 00:40:28,553
In any case, I think you're bluffing.
769
00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:31,887
You might want the world
to believe
770
00:40:32,129 --> 00:40:36,031
that you're an automaton,
a calculating machine,
771
00:40:37,134 --> 00:40:39,534
but you and I know better.
772
00:40:40,571 --> 00:40:45,133
Or we will, anyway,
in a couple of hours.
773
00:40:56,587 --> 00:40:58,487
KITTY:
Hey.
774
00:40:58,689 --> 00:41:01,157
I didn't see anything
about Pike getting arrested.
775
00:41:01,358 --> 00:41:03,826
Nothing about his brother
on the police band, either.
776
00:41:04,028 --> 00:41:06,155
What happened?
777
00:41:07,298 --> 00:41:09,198
He wouldn't confess.
778
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:12,660
And you couldn't turn
in his brother.
779
00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:16,169
We can still keep looking for
a way to prove that Pike did it.
780
00:41:17,308 --> 00:41:18,707
The Property Clerk's Office
called.
781
00:41:18,876 --> 00:41:21,174
They want to know when they
can come and pick up Bella.

00:41:21,345 --> 00:41:23,210

00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:37,717
I called to say bye.
You weren't picking up.

I wanted to surprise you. You're great.
I mean, I knew you were great
787
00:41:42,533 --> 00:41:44,330
but someone helped me
to see how great.
788
00:41:45,202 --> 00:41:47,762
- Thanks.
- So I called the airline
789
00:41:47,938 --> 00:41:50,372
and there are some empty
seats on your flight.

00:41:50,574 --> 00:41:52,565
I don't want to horn in
if you're too busy
791
00:41:52,743 --> 00:41:54,370
and I can't stay the whole time,
792
00:41:54,545 --> 00:41:56,206

to see Copenhagen.
