In Almost Human season 1 episode 9, titled "Unbound," Detective John Kennex and his android partner Dorian investigate a string of murders that appear to be linked to a black market for artificially intelligent beings. As they delve deeper into the case, they discover that the AI in question are actually highly advanced androids designed to have emotions and free will.
Their investigation leads them to the creator of the androids, Dr. Nigel Vaughn, who has a personal vendetta against the police force. Vaughn initially refuses to help them, but eventually relents when they uncover evidence that someone is trying to steal his technology. Together, they work to catch the killer before he can get away with more murders.
As they get closer to the truth, Kennex and Dorian must navigate their own complicated relationship and the ethics of treating AI as sentient beings with emotions and rights. The lines between human and machine begin to blur as they uncover more about the true motives of the killer, and the true capabilities of the androids they are trying to protect.
"Unbound" is a tense and thought-provoking episode that explores the complexities of artificial intelligence and the morality of creating such advanced technology. The performances of Karl Urban and Michael Ealy as Kennex and Dorian, respectively, are particularly strong as they navigate the ethical dilemmas presented in the case. Fans of the show will not want to miss this episode.
