About this "Futurama" episode:
"Free Will Hunting" is the ninth episode of the seventh season of the animated sitcom Futurama. It originally aired on Comedy Central on August 8, 2012.
The episode was written by David X. Cohen and directed by Frank Marino.
Enrolling in college on a whim, Bender gets a questionable student loan from the Robot Mafia and falls in with a bad crowd. He then promptly drops out of college, gets addicted to robot drug "Spark," ends up doing dubious acts for Hedonismbot, and attempt to rob girl scouts (only for them to turn the tables on him) to earn money. His downward spiral leads to his arrest and trial, but his lawyer argues that as a robot, he lacks free will and it was his programming that led to the sequence of events. The judge rules Bender not guilty, much to Bender's dismay.
The Planet Express crew is hired to deliver a package to Chapek 9 (last seen in "Fear of a Bot Planet"), requiring a despondent Bender to come along due to the native robots' intense hatred of humans. After delivering the package, Bender decides to stay on the planet, going on a journey of self-discovery. He eventually finds a group of Robot Monks that offer to take him in. From them, he learns that every Mom Corp. robot has a free will slot, so that they could be upgraded if a corresponding free will unit were ever invented. Bender returns to Earth to find more answers (and walks in on Fry and Leela together in bed).
Bender, Fry, and Leela reach the secret laboratory where the module may be kept, but instead find Mom waiting for them there. She reveals that a free will unit had been designed by Prof. Farnsworth when he worked for her in the past. Farnsworth never completed it after learning of Mom's plan to use the unit to cause a robot uprising that would then be repelled by obedient robots. Bender returns to Planet Express, and asks Farnsworth about the module. The Professor admits that he had finished making one complete free will unit, which he has hidden in a talking Bender toy. Bender attempts to use a gun on Farnsworth to force him to hand it over, but discovers that the Professor had programmed a fail safe in all robots that prevents them from taking the unit or attacking Farnsworth. Farnsworth offers to give Bender a sample of what free will is like, and inserts the unit into Bender. At first, when Bender attempts to shoot Farnsworth again, it appears the unit is not working. Bender then remembers he forgot to turn off the gun's safety, and shoots the Professor. Bender is taken to court and, now that he has free will, is found guilty of attempted murder. The crew of Planet Express celebrate (except for a severely injured Farnsworth) with Bender as he is taken away.
