- I'm headed back to the station..
normal day, normal life.
Driver of a semi, fell asleep at the wheel.
Average guy, wife and kids. You know, working a double.
Not the devil.
The car he hit, the driver's name was Harold Lloyd. He was killed instantly.
But he's 12-year-old was in the passenger seat.
Never really met her. I can't forget her face, though.
Sarah.

The truck smashed our cars together and pushed us into the river.
I mean, metal gets pretty pliable at those speeds.
She's pinned, I'm pinned. The water's coming in.
I'm a cop, so, I already know everybody's dead.
Just a few more minutes before we figure it out.
A NS-4 was passing by, saw the accident and jumped in the water.
[: Save her! Save the girl!]
But it didn't. It..
Saved me.
- The robot's brain is a difference engine. It's reading vital signs. It must have calculated that..
- It did.
I was the logical choice.
It calculated that I had a 45% chance of survival. Sarah only had an 11% chance.
That was somebody's baby.
11% is more than enough.
A human being would've known that.
Robots.. nothin here.
Just lights and clockwork.
