Cyborg X (2016)
1
Thank you for joining us... ...on such short notice, Mister President. Of course. Reports of a government funded weapons... ...program X-Corp have been making headlines,... ...can you confirm or deny the recent allegations? Well as you know, homeland security... ...has been our top priority,... ...and yes, yes we have been working together... ...with X-Corp, along with other developers,... ...all in an effort to protect the people. Is it true that X-Corp has lost... ...control of its operating system? There was a slight glitch,... ...but I can assure you our team of experts... ...are working to resolve this issue. How many casualties were there? Those reports have yet to be confirmed. Can you give us a ballpark figure? Our main focus right now is resolving this issue. Should we be expecting another attack in the near future? I have no further comments. Thank you. Disturbing news out of Washington today,... ...a classified weapons manufacturer X-Corp. X-Corp. Top secret weapons program has lost control. Number of casualties yet to be released. Jack Kilmore missing. CEO Jack Kilmore believed dead. More details beginning to surface. They made weapons,... ...weapons they didn't want you to know they were making. Spy crafts. Nuclear projectiles. Fighter drones. The transmitter has a needle point... ...that enters the nervous system... ...allowing complete control of the host. Remote controlled humans. Half-man, half-machine experiments. A.K.A. Cyborgs. Experts claiming another attack possible. Experts unwilling to rule out another attack. When and where the attacks may occur. Still not sure who or what. The real question is, why aren't we already dead? A second wave of attacks now underway. Police have issued a state of emergency. Stay inside and seek shelter. Do not leave your home. This technology had no place in our society. A war we can't win. All major cities believed to be targets. Paris, New York, Beijing. - Berlin. - Tokyo, Los Angeles, Moscow. The extent of damage is yet to be confirmed,... ...but it is believed there are numerous casualties. I'm, I'm losing the teleprompter. I'm being told we're cutting in and out. We ask that you stay patient with us... ...as we work to uncover any additional information. The reports said this would be the war to end all wars. They said X-Corp was too powerful,... ...that nothing could stop it's artillery,... ...for once the reports were right. After the initial strikes,... ...only a few of us were lucky enough to survive. We would go on to be hunted by X-Corp ground units,... ...an army of fighter drones and cyborgs,... ...half-man, half-machine slaves now controlled by the system. After a year of hiding underground like rats,... ...we began facing a new enemy as well,... ...hunger. One thing soon became clear,... ...the lucky ones are already dead. Like I said,... ...the lucky ones were already dead. Go! No! Is your mom feeling better? No. Where did uh, where did you get this? This shit for real Lieutenant? We have got dates, locations,... ...transactions, profiles, it is definitely legit. Wait go back. Amy Kilmore, original co-founder,... ...second in command of operations. His sister. Killed, July 4th 2017, that's day one. This thing's unbelievable. It was him, it was Kilmore. All right, we gotta move now we-- - Slow down Lieutenant. - Slow down? We've managed to survive this long for a reason. We stay off the radar. - Colonel. - Wizkowski. Yes sir? Search that drive. Let me know if you find any shit we can use. Colonel! I don't wanna hear it. Colonel, you're making a mistake. Are you questioning my authority Lieutenant? If he's still alive, then we still have a chance-- We can't risk it! Risk what? We're out of food, supplies are down! We need to stop hiding and start fighting! It's a risk we have to take and you know it. All right. We do this, we do it my way. Understood? Understood. I run the show, not you. Yes sir. We are trying to survive here,... ...one day at a time. Remember that. 19, come on, get it! Not bad Lopez. Very good, good job! Not great, but not bad. Rise and shine shit stain! Son of a bitch! It looks like we're getting soft around here. Lopez! Are we getting soft around here? No sir! Good, we don't got time for that. What we do got is a situation on our hands,... ...one that requires immediate attention. Gonna send us out Colonel? Put some damn pants on. We meet back for briefing in 1000 hours. And someone please get this asshole off my cot. Jack Kilmore,... ...co-founder and CEO of X-Corp. Colonel. He started his first tech company at age 19. Hailed by High-Tech Magazine as... ...the golden child of technical engineering... ...and a true genius. And yes, I am jealous. At the ripe old age of 26,... ...he gets the call from Uncle Sam. They're starting a new sector on home defense,... ...one that specializes in remote-controlled weaponry... ...and surveillance equipment. They're looking for assistance,... ...and they make an offer that he can't refuse. So, who gives a shit? Lock it up Private. Yesterday while searching Grid 307,... ...I came across a cyborg pursuing a male and female target. The cyborg killed the female on-spot,... ...but kept the male alive. He then took the target to an abandoned warehouse,... ...just outside the grid's western perimeter. We believe this to be a storage facility for the machines. Right. So this,... ...is a shot pulled from the spy cam... ...used by Lieutenant Spears,... ...magnified 750%. And we believe this to be Mr. X-Corp himself,... ...Jack Kilmore. Jack Kilmore is dead. He's right, Jack Kilmore was their first target. Killed by his own machines... ...after he tried to shut the whole thing down. Come on, everybody knows that story. I found this buried in the sand. It was left behind by the guy in these photographs. Cracked it open this morning,... ...checks out. It's information that only the highest... ...level of authority would even have access to. Yeah? What kind of information? Top secret shit. It's him, it's Jack Kilmore... ...and he's alive. It's simple, an extraction mission,... ...get in, grab the son of a bitch and get out... ...and try not to die. How do we know it's not a trap? We don't, but if there's a chance... ...we're gonna have to take it. Jack Kilmore could have information. Information that could change the course of this war. War? This isn't a war,... ...it's a massacre. All right, let's cut the shit. Jones, Lopez, Carlisle, you're up. That's only three. We're gonna need as many hands as we can get. No, we don't have time. It's a two day hike by foot,... ...buggy only fits three, minus supplies. You're gonna have to do this alone. You're talking about suicide. What's wrong Private, you scared? I'll go. No, you're staying right here Lieutenant,... ...I need soldiers that listen. - Colonel but-- - That's an order! Got it? Good. Crazy bastard. He's gonna get us all killed. Or you know, kill us himself. Son of a bitch's been shot 30 times and still breathing. I wouldn't mess with Captain Machine Gun,... ...he'll cut your throat and not even know it. And that ain't no shit, desperate times! Like it or not boys and girls we're in 'em. Those supply kits are all but gone. That means the time to act is now. Before you know it you'll be eating... ...your own shit just to stay alive. I've seen it too many times,... ...men turned to swine,... ...shoveling shit in each others throats,... ...drinking their own piss. Is that how you want to go down? No Sir. I didn't hear you! Do you want to eat shit and drink piss! Sir! No Sir! I didn't think so! Now I want that piece of shit on wheels... ...locked, strapped and ready to move by 1100 hours... ...and I want Kilmore sitting right here... ...kissing my ass by sundown! Any questions? No Sir! Good, let's move! Hey. You know this is all your fault, right? Should never have brought in the strays. We'd have had food for an extra month,... ...maybe more. Should've left the dogs where you found them. They weren't our problem. No. Men like you, that's the problem. You ever touch me again, I'll cut your throat. Got it? Lopez, you're our eyes on the inside,... ...make sure you're sweeping and panning,... ...we need to see everything you see. Copy that Colonel! Okay, you're wired. Kill it. We loaded? Affirmative, good luck soldier! Come back in one piece, you hear me? I need another girl to have my back! Is that an order? That's an order! All right Lopez, you ready? Ready! Let's move! Now, let's just hope it's not a deathtrap. Take a look around you Colonel,... ...we're already in one. Why don't you go clean up? Meet me back at Comms in 1200 hours. Whatcha doing? Uh, I'm just working Sweetheart. Do you wanna play? I can't right now Sweetie, but um,... ...how about later, you wanna play then? You mean like hide and go seek? Like hide and go seek. Okay, but you are it first. No you're it. No, you're it. No, you're it! No, you are it,... ...tap, tap, no take backs! Subject appears to be intact. Radar showing a slight internal change of temperature. Voltage I assume. Copy, let's keep it tight, in and out. Ready when you are Lieutenant. What the hell is this place? You sure it's the right spot? Yeah, this is it. Yeah, this is bullshit. Just keep your weapons ready... ...and keep moving. Jones, stay cover. Keep an eye on the entry points. I'll run the sweep. Careful Private. Wait, run that scan left. There. I see it. Engaging. I lost my light. Hang on, this room has power. Hey, asshole. Need backup, now. Copy, I'm on my way. What the hell is this place? Are you seeing this? Yeah we see it. This is where they bring the target? Then he's already dead. Yeah, and guess who's next. Put the knife down. Don't shit me. Don't kill me. Kilmore, Kilmore! Let him go. Who are you? - Who are you, answer me! - Oh, shit. We came for you Kilmore. Jack Kilmore, is that your name? That's him, it's Kilmore! Son of a bitch! Carlisle! You want some, huh! Don't do it Carlisle! This asshole tried to kill me. It's all his fault. If it weren't for him, then none of this would've happened. None of it! Stand down Private! Do you copy? Stand down Carlisle. You can rot in hell Jones. You can all rot in hell. I'm not dying in here. You wanna give me a hand over here? Machines? Yeah. And they know you're here. You'll have to with Carlisle,... ...do you have a visual? He's dead. All right, let's go! We're getting strong readings,... ...we need to get you out of there now! Can you hear me Lieutenant? You need to move! What are you doing? Come on, let's go! We gotta move now! No! Let's go! Come on! Lopez, Lopez can you hear me? Lopez, you got something at 12 o'clock! Get down! Is that our ride outta here? Yeah. All right, let's go! I'm hit! You're gonna make it Soldier,... ...hang in there, hang in there! They're coming this way,... ...we have to make them wait,... ...make sure they aren't being tailed. No, no, she won't make it! If they compromise our location,... ...nobody's gonna make it, not them,... ...not us, nobody. Dammit she's one of our own! And we need Kilmore. If we die,... ...we die as one. Sangre por vida. Shit! Move out! Is that where we're going? Take this! Hold it against the wound keep pressure on it! I'm not gonna die out here! How bad is it? You're doing good, just hang in there Soldier. Damn it, answer me! I'm doing everything I can. What? Think I can't shoot? I'm not as worthless as everyone thinks. Give it back! I said give it back! Do you wanna shoot? Shoot to kill. And if you want to kill,... ...shoot for the head. Mata lo! We were stationed here, when it all went down. Played it safe, waited for the cyborgs to pass us by. We were lucky. Now, what about you? How the hell are you still alive? Are these really necessary? I don't know yet. I was with a group of survivors,... ...hiding underground trying to fight back,... ...but we were limited,... ...we had weapons but lacked the other hardware needed. And what would that be? Computers... ...and the power to run them. We'd been scavenging for parts trying to rebuild,... ...then it found us. There's a wash station a couple units down. We'll get you some new gear... ...and by new I mean used. How's she doing? She won't make it through the night. We made the right move. No. I should've been there, it should've been me. You got a lot of nerve Lieutenant. All right,... ...it's been a long day and it's been rough,... ...so let's cut the shit. We saved your ass for a reason Kilmore. We need details, we need to know what happened. We need to know exactly what it is we're fighting against... ...and we need to know how to kill it,... ...because right now, all we do know... ...is that those machines of yours... ...wiped out 99% of the planet. About a month prior to the blackout... ...we received a visitor,... ...to our main facility. It was the President of the United States. He told me about a new technology,... ...one that sister corporations have been developing,... ...something to aid in the fight against foreign threats. What kind of technology? They had engineered artificial intelligence... ...into the form of a cyber virus. The intent was to use the virus... ...to infiltrate and gain control of enemy mainframes. So then why do they come to you? We had the infrastructure and technology to do it. That's what they told us,... ...but that was bullshit. The real reason was that they wanted to keep it a secret,... ...in case anything went wrong. On July 4th 2017 at 1300 hours... ...we uploaded the folder containing the virus. By 1301, we had lost control of our entire operating bay. All the screens from our main concourse... ...to our counter facilities went black,... ...then turned to a page of scrolling numbers. Everything was changed,... ...passcodes, platforms, locations, everything. The rest is history. So what went wrong? No way to know for sure. But if I had to guess,... ...I'd say they made it a little too smart. They gave it a mind of its own... ...and it decided to use it. You see, we never opened the source file. So then who did? It opened itself. You telling me this thing is alive? I'm just telling you what I saw. How do we kill it? It's not that simple. How do we kill it? We don't. We disarm it. If we turn of the machines then... ...we take away its ability to strike. Keep talking. Easy. The machines were designed to operate under a signal,... ...just like a cellular device, remote control. Each one with its own receiver. If you knock out the receiver,... ...you knock out the machine. But if we can knock out the signal,... ...we can take down a whole sector. Where are the signals coming from? Control stations. A system of servers and satellite communications equipment. So why don't we strap it with a block of C4... ...and blow it clear outta the sky? Because, we have to find them first. That's been our problem all along. The original tower has been cut off... ...and now operates under its own stations. But if we can capture a data drive from one of the drones,... ...we may be able to access flight data... ...records from the inner CPU. There has to be something linking... ...the machines to the signals source. So what's our next move Cowboy? I saw intelligence equipment in one of your units,... ...is it functional? Yeah, I mean it's a little outdated,... ...but it's functional. Will the ports read an external drive? Last I checked. Then we need to capture a data drive... ...and see if we can search its logs. The hell do you mean capture a data drive? We go hunting. Oh come on, what is he nuts? When? Yesterday. For all we know, this location's already been compromised. No, if it knew, we'd be dead already. We should leave in the morning. The machine's have night vision, we don't. First light. Locked and strapped by 0700 hours. I'm gonna need another shooter,... ...someone who knows what they're doing. We're only gonna get one shot. I'll go. Don't let those perky tits fool you,... ...she doesn't mess around. I hope you're right. Otherwise we're dead. How could this happen? You said this could never happen! We were wrong. We were all wrong. We have to do something! We have to do something now! Jack. Help me. Help me, Jack. You know it's not polite to read someone's hard drive? I'm doing what any smart soldier would do. And what's that? Researching the enemy. Is that what you think I am, the enemy? The RCT, it was meant to be used... ...on opposing ground troops. We would strap it on the prisoners of war,... ...then send them back out to the field,... ...watch them fight against their own regime. Are you proud of this? We built them to keep soldiers... ...like you off the battlefield. Is that what they told you? The Cerebral Controller C1. What's it do? It was also meant to control... ...the physical functions of the host. You mean slave. But unlike the RCT,... ...it also had the ability to read and control something else. What? Their mind. You think you're smart, don't you? You just don't get it. We were trying to save lives. You didn't save lives, take a look around! You destroyed them. All. I think we're better off staying next to the rocks. Right, little more cover in case some shit goes wrong. And we'll need something with a lot of fire power. 50 cal won't get it done. Got grenades! Don't. Maybe something with a little more accuracy. What about a rocket launcher? That should work. Take your time. Aim for the-- Nice shot. Keep an eye out,... ...there could be more close by. Okay. Okay, okay, we got a live one. Always so private aren't they? Let me see it. Now we wait. For what? The script to run its course. It's checking the drone's access code... ...against a list of possible combinations. And uh, what if it doesn't have it? Very unlikely. The file has over 750 trillion characters... ...and it runs 16 million of those per second. Trust me, it'll find it. Five bricks, enough to blow up a small village. How much do you want? All of it. I taught you well Lieutenant. Any word on the logs? Still working on it. Reminds me of the good old days,... ...back in '68, back when we kept shit for real. None of this technology bullshit. Back when the world was right. Hey. Hey! I said do you copy? Yes Sir. Good. Front office in 1700 hours. I want this shit locked down tight! I want everybody on the same page. Checked against a quarter of its data already. It turns out that we're dealing with... ...a multi-layered access code. So, we've already cracked one. Speak English Gringo! It means that the script is working,... ...it won't be long. Okay, until then we can continue to get shit done. Kilmore, assuming we get the location,... ...what's the plan? We get in, set the detonators and get out. And that's it? No more machines? Not within the station's control radius. Approximately 500 miles. So, what you're saying is they're still around,... ...just not in our backyard. Correct. Oh no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait,... ...500 miles? So all this hard work that we're doing... ...putting our asses on the line... ...and best case scenario is that we slow it down? It's a start isn't it? He's right. It's a start. We'll at least have the ability to restock,... ...relocate, then prepare for another advance. But what about getting inside? How do you navigate those machines? Shoot 'em. Shouldn't be an issue. It's gonna keep the control bays hidden. Very unlikely we'll come across any drones or cyborgs. At least, not on the exterior. Uh huh, and what about the interior? We're gonna have to move fast. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Hey. Did I wake you? No. Good. Can I sleep with you tonight? Of course Sweetie. Scary dreams again? Yeah. I'm sorry Sweetie. Can I ask you a question? Yeah, you can ask me whatever you want. You're not gonna leave me, are you? Of course not. Why would you say something like that? Promise? I cross my heart. What's wrong? You know, I used to have a daughter... ...who looked just like you. Really? Yeah. What was her name? Her name was Becca. She's the one who made this for me. Really? Mhmm. Where is she now? She's in Heaven. Hey, a skinny kid with glasses was looking for you. What did he say? Said he was looking for you. You can feel it, can't you? Blood in the air. Feels good. Do you know what any of this bullshit means? Yeah. It means we still have a chance. Those are the coordinates for X-Corps head facility. Ground Zero. It's a couple hours south of here,... ...but it's possible. And Ground Zero's leveled,... ...I've seen it, there's nothing left. Maybe you weren't looking hard enough. Turn it off. Elijah, turn that piece of shit off! No, wait, wait, wait. 36.8025 degrees north,... ...114.8022 degrees west. Coordinates. Yeah. Our coordinates. Shh. We had a tracker. A what? The drive, it had a tracer! Son of a bitch! Get to work! Uh, we're getting swarmed! How'd they find us? We had a tracer. What had a tracer? The data drive, when we pulled the coordinates... ...it gave up our location. We have coordinates? Yeah, right here. The head facility, Ground Zero. Get down! We got another one! Get down! No! I'm running low! We gotta get to the buggy! I don't think we can make it! We gotta stick to the plan, shut it down. The relay will send them all in one piece! What about Molly? Where is she? Bunks. Whatever we're doing, we need to do it now! Who's got the-- I'll look for an opening, when it's clear,... ...we're getting the fuck out! I'm not leaving her! Dammit Lieutenant, it's not your call, okay. I'm calling the shots, I'm the shot caller,... ...you understand that? Hey! Hey Jack and Wizkowski,... ...is that piece of shit now. We need a pusher! You ready? Yeah. All right let's go, move it, move it, move it! No! Go! Where's the Colonel? Quar parte? Let's move, we need to move now! You gotta get me the--! They're safe with Machine Gun! Let's go, let's go, let's go! We gotta distract them! Hey! Come on Kid! My teddie! Come on! Get in here! No! Get down! Let's roll, let's go! Hey! Ready to die? I'm scared. Don't worry, I'll protect you. Do you think they're gonna come back? She promised. Yeah, they'll come back. I checked the gear again last night,... ...looks like the Colonel was off,... ...we have no C4, no detonators, no grenades... ...and ammo's low. We have to get inside. We have to shut it down by hand. It's over isn't it? We never had a chance against them. There's gonna be a lot of activity... ...for the next hour or so,... ...then it should die down. At least enough to make a run for it. If we stay next to the covered areas... ...we may slip past. We have to go back. If we go back now, everyone dies. No, we have to stick to the plan. I made her a promise. I can't let her die alone. You did what you had to do... ...and you're not dead yet,... ...neither are they. We still have a chance,... ...it's not over yet. Remember that. We've been clear for almost three kilometers,... ...something's not right! Just keep driving. We're getting close. Hey, you see,... ...like I said, there's nothing left. No. It's here. I remember talk of an underground safe zone... ...when they were first building. I thought the idea had been dismissed,... ...but I'm starting to think,... ...they never got the memo. Let's go. Is it alive? If he was functional, you wouldn't be. Be careful. I got something. This is it, huh? It's not quite as, you know,... ...high-tech as I imagined. That is all right. That's weird, there's no passcode. No uh, login, nothing. Hey. Hey! You know your way around the system? No, all the platforms have been changed. There's a lot of data,... ...lots of menus. It's gonna take a minute. We might not have that minute. Whatcha doing? Watching the bad guys. Do you know why they want to hurt us? They were programmed that way. Why? I don't know. Hey, what's that? I wanna watch too! Hey. There's something here. I can feel it. Hey! What did you find? We live to fight another day. - Something's wrong! - No, no, no, no, no! Firewall? You alive? Yeah. Is he? No, he's gone. Something's overriding the program. What could do that? I don't know. Something external maybe. It would have be hooked into the mainframe. Time to go. Run! Over here! What are they doing here? They've been selected. For what? Transformation. It's gonna make them into machines. Is he there? No! What are you doing! Come on, let's go! We're running low! Come on, it's coming quick! Come on! Hurry move! You okay? We gotta keep moving. - Come on. - Okay. Why's it so quiet? Let's go. What is it? It's the firewall. Watch the door. What's wrong? If you wanna kill,... ...shoot for the head. What have they done to you? Warning. Removal of the Cerebrum C1,... ...will leave system vulnerable to foreign infiltration. Please exit immediately. What are you doing? What does it look like I'm doing? Amy. Amy. Jack. I tried to stop it, Jack. There was nothing I could do. No, no, it's not your fault. It controls me now. It made me do things, Jack,... ...horrible things. It's okay now. I'm getting you outta here. No Jack, it's too late for me now. Look at me. Dammit Jack, look at me! You have to shut it down now... ...or you will all die. You have to shut it down before they see you. They? What do you mean they? Hurry Jack. We don't have much time. Hello Jack. Jack, you look like you just saw a ghost. Well I can assure you I'm alive and well. You look confused Jack. Well, I guess that's to be expected. It was you? This was all you? No, not just me. You see Jack, there's a group of us... ...that saw widespread epidemic... ...beginning to spiral out of control,... ...thus we took it upon ourselves to do something about it. What are you talking about? I'm talking about the future, Jack. I'm talking about the corporations that ran this world,... ...corporations like X-Corp. Just too powerful. Too reckless. You see Jack, we've been studying the trends for years now,... ...all in an effort to forecast the path of our society,... ...to try to figure out where it was all going... ...and what we discovered,... ...well, it was troubling. You see, there comes a point where... ...technology becomes dangerous,... ...it becomes a disease that grows... ...and spirals out of control. If left untreated, well,... ...it can destroy everything. Therefore, it must be stopped... ...and everything that it has infected... ...must be killed. Do you see where I'm going with this, Jack? You're insane. Come on Jack, I'm not insane,... ...I'm a realist. The numbers don't lie, you know that. We've added it all up and it became clear,... ...we had to act now or the age of man would cease to exist,... ...replaced by the age of machine,... ...an age of artificial intelligence. You know, that virus we sent you,... ...it was never meant to infiltrate the enemy's mainframe,... ...it was meant to infiltrate yours. We needed an army, Jack,... ...an army that would listen and obey our command,... ...never second guess an order. An army that was capable of the task at hand. What task? To cleanse the Earth, to start over. I can see you're upset. Look, I've always liked you Jack,... ...all right, I'm sorry it had to come to this,... ...but it's important you know,... ...it was never personal. I find it very personal Mr. President. I'm sorry you feel that way. I wouldn't do that if I was you Jack,... ...that system is the only thing keeping your sister alive. Don't listen to him Jack,... ...there's nothing you can do for me now. Whether you hit the switch or not... ...I'm already dead, you know that. Think about it Jack,... ...at best you win a small battle. There are other systems, more machines,... ...we will find you eventually. Why delay the inevitable? Why prolong the suffering? Why not just die? Because,... ...I need to find you first. All right Jack,... ...have it your way. Jack. You weren't fast enough Jack. No! No! Can I ask you a question? You're not gonna leave me are you? Of course not. Why would you say something like that? Promise? Cross my heart. You ready to die? You bitch! You haven't seen anything yet! Hey bitch,... ...you didn't think it was going to be that easy, did you? No! You came back! I promised you I would. We buried what was left of the bodies,... ...then loaded our gear. And though our future may look grim at best,... ...one thing is certain. We will never give up, never stop fighting. Cause somewhere out there,... ...there's a group of men that took it... ...upon themselves to play God. And now, they all must die. |
