Nathan explains to Caleb that he will make pass the Turing test to Ava. This experiment proves if the robot has a real artificial intelligence (AI). The concept is about having a normal conversation with Ava without suspecting that she is not human. Caleb is impressed and considers himself lucky to participate in this experiment.
Caleb realizes that Ava is almost human in his speech, “emotions”, facial expressions, etc. But Nathan already knew that Ava had a good AI. The test is more based on convincing a human that the robot is conscious, has a “conscience”. Even if Ava can pretty well fake emotions, she was programmed to trick Caleb, and succeeds in her mission. The problem is she can see further than Nathan had planned.

When Caleb discovers he tore Ava’s drawing, he begins to think that Nathan is excessive. Since then, he wants to escape with Ava, and sees Nathan as a monster.

Clearly, Nathan drinks because he is sad to be alone in that bunker. Even if he seems okay, he can’t be happy with his robots. When he drinks, Nathan fells better, but also frees his mind. When he explains to Caleb that if Pollock decided not to draw anything without knowing exactly what he was doing, he never would have made a single mark, we can say that it is his motto.
