Black Mirror · Season 1, Episode 15

DCI Kano, Older Cameron Walker and others in “Unfinished Business”

What are you drawing? Mr. Bump?

You'll see in a moment.

Well, how long's a moment?

Sorry, sorry, I need to focus. Almost done...

Are you?

[shows his finished drawing of a circular glyph] There.

JMJen Minter

[amused] So... what is that?

I don't understand code.

No, but the system does. [shows the code to a security camera, which scans it, triggering a program back in his computer room] It was impossible to breach the firewall from outside. This is a simple program they wrote that commands your state computer to open a back door for the Throng, permitting access to all that juicy power.

[still not intimidated] Enough.

This will grant the Throng infinitely more processing capability than they've had to date, prompting an immediate singularity event. The Throng will instantly adapt their essence into a signal transmissible to the human mind. And you won't need drugs or surgery. You'll merely have to hear it to receive it, to absorb it. Any moment now, the state computer will trigger the Global Emergency Broadcast System, and a signal will be simultaneously disseminated by every connected device in the world.

Just tell me your victim's name.

I said I never knew it. Twenty seconds from now, you will never need names again. Here we go...

[Kano's laptop and Minter's phone are both taken over by a loading screen]

JMJen Minter

Jesus.

[angrily gets up and storms towards Walker] Fuck's sake...! Whatever you're doing, stop it.

It's gonna be okay.

Stop it!

You're just a frightened little man, but you don't have to be.

[Kano punches Walker in the face; Minter tries to stop him]

JMJen Minter

Oh! Get off him!

This is transformative! You'll all merge with an advanced collective intelligence. [Kano punches him again, while Minter flees the room] Benevolent unity of mind! [Kano grabs him] An upgrade for all of us!

Shut up!

An end to conflict! [Kano punches him again, knocking him to the floor] I swear, everything will be so much better...

[The signal is released, causing Kano, Minter and all of humanity to collapse. Looking delighted, Walker steps over to Kano and offers his hand]
