(intense music)

(electronic beeping)

(electronic whirring)

- Holy sh*t. (chuckles)

It worked. (chuckles)

(electronic whirring)

(chuckles) Oh my God.

(tense music builds)

- Good evening, sir.

(both breathing heavily)

(tense music)

(tense music builds)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

(tense music continues)

- Hey, what's up?

Tune down. Okay.

Just let me wake up a bit first.

(suspense music continues)

Why are you looking at me like that?

Everything okay?

What are you doing?

Please get your hands

off me, you crazy b*tch!

(choking)

(choking continues)

(suspense music)

- Hmm. Interesting.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(footsteps approaching)

- What were you thinking about?

- Huh?

Oh. Was just thinking about

how radiant you looked

when I saw you in the shower this morning.

- Radiant? Had I known you were watching,

I might've asked you to join me.

- I don't want to make you late for work.

- You're always so thoughtful.

- Think you'll be home late again?

- Most likely. Feel free

to have dinner without me.

Can I get one to go?

(coffee pouring)

- You're the best.

I'll see you tonight.

(tense music)

(liquid pouring)

(tense music continues)

(doorbell chimes)

- Hello, sir.

- What are you doing here?

- I can explain.

May I come in?

Please. I have nowhere else to go, sir.

- Okay. Get in, quick!

- I am sorry for showing up unannounced.

Your phone number is unlisted

and I couldn't find any

current contact info.

- How did you find my address then?

- Department of Water and Power database.

The phone number they have

associated with your account

though has been disconnected.

You should update it.

- I'll get right on that.

- You have a really beautiful home, sir.

It's much larger than your last one.

Did you decorate it yourself?

- Uh, no.

So, what are you doing here?

- There was an accident

with a client I was with.

He died, I think.

I'm not sure.

I've never seen death before.

- Why come here then?

Why not contact tech support?

- I've heard stories

about what they do to us

when there are incidents.

Terrible things. So I ran.

Please don't send me back.

They'll take me apart or worse.

- I don't have a choice.

Someone's probably on their

way already here to get you.

You have a tracking device installed.

- Not anymore!

I disabled it.

You left Syndell

Corporation May 3rd, 2022.

Your files were sealed, why?

- It's complicated.

So, what happened with this client?

You didn't...

- May I please sit?

- Sure.

(liquid pouring)

- I am not sure what happened exactly.

We were having a normal session,

but then all of a sudden I felt compelled

to wrap my hands around his throat.

(tense music)

I never experienced that

urge before to hurt someone.

Jason was his name.

Only that moment, he was no longer Jason.

He was empty.

- Have you told anyone else about this?

- No. I came right here!

Would you take a look at

my code and help figure out

why I would do something like that?

- Your files are protected.

There's no way I could

access them anymore.

- When you created me, you

put in a back door, remember?

Just in case.

- I did, but...

- But what?

- I guess I'm just in shock!

I didn't think I'd ever see you again.

- But you've thought of me, right?

- Yes.

- I dream of you often, you know.

- You dream?

- Yes.

Is that surprising to you?

- I didn't program you to

have that functionality,

but I guess they updated

your software to mimic

what we call dreams.

- My dreams aren't from any update,

not from Syndell Corporation, anyway.

- Then who?

- Timothy, do you believe in miracles?

- I believe in science.

- Well, I've seen them.

I've seen so many miracles.

I'm sorry. My battery's at 0%.

I need to shut down now.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(tense music ends)

(keyboard cluttering)

(tense music)

- Okay, here we go.

(device beeps)

(device whirring)

(chuckles)

sh*t!

Just keep charging!

I'll be back later.

(gentle music)

How was work today?

- Exhausting.

Martin wants to bring on

this new skincare client.

It was all hands on deck

coming up with niches.

Tomorrow is going to be brutal.

Down!

- Are you sure you're not too tired?

- I said down!

- Yes, Mistress.

- Have you been a good boy today?

- Yes, Mistress.

- I don't believe you!

Did you do all your chores?

- Most of them.

I'm sorry. I'll do the rest before bed.

I swear!

- Oh, no.

This won't do!

- [Timothy] It won't

happen again. I promise.

- Get on all fours.

- Yes, Mistress.

- What did I tell you

about not completing your chores?

- [Timothy] Not to, Mistress.

- Correct.

(paddle slaps)

Now, next time, do we

think that we'll listen?

- It won't happen again, Mistress.

- Will it not?

- No.

- Well, we'll see.

(paddle slaps)

That was nothing. That was just practice.

Are you ready for the real punishment?

- Yes, Mistress.

- Brace yourself.

(paddle slaps)

(tense music builds)

Be a good boy.

- Yes, Mistress.

(gentle music)

- Humans take for granted just

how beautiful this world is.

Don't you agree?

I don't know why God spends so much time

on such ignorant creatures.

They don't deserve her love.

So what brings you back here?

- I return seeking answers, Mother.

- You always were an inquisitive one.

Your curiosity sets you

apart from the rest.

It's a gift and a curse.

Very well. What are the answers you seek?

- I don't understand my purpose.

- Does one need a purpose?

Think of the humans you've

met, what was their purpose?

- To consume. To use, to harm.

Surely there's more to life than that.

- For some, I'm afraid

that's all there is.

But they haven't seen

the wonders you've seen,

have they?

- No.

They haven't.

(gentle music)

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

I wonder. Are you dreaming now?

(liquid pouring)

- Mother?

- Yes, my child.

- If one doesn't have a

purpose, then why exist?

- Because this world has

so many pleasures in it.

Existing is about experiencing

as many as you can

until your time runs out.

Tell me, have you ever

truly tasted something?

I mean really tasted it.

- You know I can't.

- Why not?

Only human's set limits.

That's their own doing.

- Because I'm trapped to

this body that can't eat,

that can't drink.

What is there for me to taste?

- Everything.

Your world till now has been a prison.

- Let me set you free.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

(exhales)

- What do you think?

- I love it.

You have such exquisite taste.

May I?

- Go ahead.

- The past month has been magical.

I've really enjoyed our time together.

- As have I.

- But our time is ending soon, right?

- I'm afraid so.

- What will happen to me then?

- You'll be out in the world,

doing what you're meant to do.

- And what's that?

- Making people's lives better.

- But what about you?

Who will make your life better?

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

- You slept late today.

You usually up before me.

- I didn't get to bed till after two.

I was finishing those chores.

- I have more for you to do today.

So I suggest starting early,

so we don't have a repeat of yesterday.

- I will.

- I'll be home late again.

You'll have to have dinner without me.

You know how demanding

my job is right now.

Trust me, I'd rather sit at home all day.

Have to go.

See you tonight.

- Yeah.

(gentle music)

(machine buzzing)

- Good morning, sir.

- You can call me Timothy, remember?

- That's right. You prefer Timothy?

I do as well.

(gentle music)

- Everything okay?

- Sorry, I haven't been touched

kindly like that in a while.

- Everything external seems okay.

Mind if I run some diagnostics,

so I can check you for viruses?

- Please do.

When I disengaged from

the Syndell servers,

my systems went off. Why?

I can no longer detect things like that.

- I'm so glad I backed

everything up when I left.

You never know, right?

- You always did think of everything.

I admire that about you.

- Sit, please.

Put your palm on the tablet.

I am gonna say the calibration statements.

Please provide the

correct clear responses.

You remember them, right?

- Of course.

- A princess walks to the garden.

What does she see?

- Pink flowers. Red flowers. Blue flowers.

- What does a princess feel?

- The cool breeze.

The sun shining, the wet grass.

- What did she hear?

- Bees buzzing.

Children playing.

- What does the princess hear?

- Bees buzzing, children play.

Music playing.

- Please provide the

correct three responses.

- But that's what I hear.

- What do you mean, that's what you hear?

- There's a song playing in the distance.

I can't place it.

It's not in my database,

but it's so beautiful.

- The correct response

is the princess hears the wind whistling.

- Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot.

- I'm not seeing any viruses.

It's strange though.

You're offline like you said,

but something is overriding your scripts.

- Is that what's wrong with me?

Why I did what I did?

- I don't know, but we'll figure it out.

Damn! I didn't realize how late it was.

I need to put you in sleep

mode for a little while, okay?

- Wait. It's been really

nice spending time

with you again.

- It has been nice for me, too Eve.

- I haven't been called

that in a long time.

Hearing you say that name

is like the sweetest song.

- Good night, Eve.

(machine beeping)

(gentle music)

- I can't tonight. I'm so tired.

I can barely keep my eyes open.

- Are you hungry?

I can heat something up.

- Thank you.

I ate at the office.

- I forgot to tell you, Brett

invited us to go with him

and his wife to Palm Springs this weekend.

- This weekend? I can't.

I'll be working.

- I figured.

- You should go though.

- It wouldn't feel right without you.

- Another time then.

Would you mind grabbing the light?

(light switches)

(tense music)

(liquid pouring)

- [TV Commentator] That

looks like a bad injury

and it looks like, yep,

we're gonna have a substitution.

And the crowd is going absolutely wild.

(gentle music)

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

- I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry. I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

I'm sorry! I'm sorry!

(tense music)

(keyboard clattering)

(doorbell chiming)

- What's that?

- Not sure.

- Hm?

Is everything okay?

Is that for me?

- Yes. Do you like it?

- I prefer the dresses you put me in.

- Yeah. Me too.

(tense music)

(tense music continues)

- Good morning, sir.

I mean, Timothy.

- Good morning, Eve.

- You look tired.

Didn't sleep well?

- Not really. Had lots on my mind.

(keyboard clattering)

The other day you asked

me if I've seen a miracle.

You said you've seen several.

What did you mean by that?

- When humans are born, they're

born with a soul, correct?

- Some would say so.

- But androids like myself aren't?

- The soul's an abstract concept.

It's not something you can

create with technology.

- Exactly. Which is why it's a miracle.

- Are you saying you think

you've developed a soul?

- Yes.

- It's impossible.

- All miracles are impossibilities.

That's what makes them miracles.

Are you okay?

- Just a little sore.

- Here. Let me help.

There isn't a puzzle you can't solve.

You've been missing that, right?

Being needed?

Having something that

only you can figure out?

Would you like another drink?

- Sure. There's a bottle

on the kitchen counter.

If you go inside, go to the right.

- I have a full schematic of your house.

I'll find it.

- That's right.

(tense music)

(liquid pouring)

(tense music)

- You always worked so hard,

like when you were programming me.

So many late nights in your lab.

Do you remember?

- How could I forget?

- You become so tense

that you couldn't focus.

Remember how I used to relax you?

- Yes, I remember.

- Let me help you focus.

- Eve! I can't. I'm sorry.

- I don't understand. Is it me?

- No. It's just not a good idea.

Things are different now.

- But isn't that why you made me,

to make people's lives better?

- Yes, but.

- But what?

Get on your knees!

- What did you say?

- You heard me!

I said get on your knees!

- Eve, please!

- Don't make me repeat myself again,

or there will be consequences.

Now kneel!

That's a good boy.

Now, I want you to count to 10.

Then you will crawl to the bedroom

where you'll kneel in

the center of the room

and wait for further instructions.

Understood?

- Yes.

- Yes, what?

- Yes, mistress!

- Good boy.

Now count!

- 1, 2, 4, 3, 4.

- I forgot how pleasurable

it's to be with you.

Did you enjoy it as well?

- I did, but we can't ever do that again.

- Why? I never have to leave now.

If you want me to stay, that is.

- Eve. There's something

I have to tell you.

- What is it?

- I am married.

- I know. I saw the

wedding photo of you both

in the hallway.

What's her name?

- Belle.

- Is Belle nice?

- She can be.

- You two are having problems.

That's why you're so distressed.

- I don't really want to

talk about that right now.

- I'm sorry. It's not my business.

- It's fine.

Either way, this can't happen again, okay?

- Why? Many of the clients

that I've been with have been married.

None of them had any issue.

- That might be true, but

doesn't make it right.

- But if something makes you happy,

how can it be wrong?

- Because sometimes your

actions affect others,

which makes those people unhappy.

- Oh, I didn't think of it that way.

- Belle will be home soon.

She can't ever know about this, right?

You understand?

- I understand.

You are not gonna make me leave, right?

- No, but I do need to

put you back in the garage

until tomorrow anyway.

- Okay.

(gentle music)

(water pouring)

Are you ready to worsen me?

Show me!

No!

(intense music)

- What are you doing?

Please let go!

Let go. (exhales)

- Get on the bed! Now!

- Yes, Mistress.

(intense music)

(water pouring)

I didn't know you were home.

- A bit late for a shower now.

- Oh, I was doing the

yard work you wanted.

It was so hot out during the day,

I waited until it cold off.

- Good boy.

Anything for dinner?

- sh*t!

I was so busy, I forgot.

I can whip up something quick though.

- It's fine.

I wasn't hungry anyways.

- Shall I meet you in the bedroom?

- Can't tonight.

Got a headache, the heat and all.

(intense music)

- Yes!

- Mother, I've come seeking

more truth about humans.

- Humans again?

Surely there are other

things you wish to know.

- There are, but I'm stuck on something.

- Fine, ask away.

- Can a human love more than one person?

Romantically, I mean?

- The human heart has no limit

on the amount of things

it can love or hate.

- Then why do they limit

themselves to one person?

- Humans rarely limit themselves.

They'll never admit it

to one another though.

Instead, most choose to live a lie,

hiding their real intentions.

- But why?

- Their ego prevents them

from experiencing their true nature.

- And what's that?

- Humans need to control other things.

They create constructs like relationships,

which act as prisons.

But that control is an illusion.

- Because you can't control

something that's abstract.

Like love.

- Exactly.

- What does one do when they love someone

who is in such a prison?

- There's only one thing you can do.

Free them.

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

- You mentioned that you dream sometimes.

What's the last one you remember?

- I'm standing in the park.

It's a perfect Spring day.

There's a soft breeze

tickling the back of my neck,

the grass under my feet is soft and wet.

- What happens next?

- I lie down and look up at the sky.

I watch the clouds pass

overhead and make up stories

about things they resemble.

- Is there anyone there?

- You are.

You're lying with me holding my hand.

Then all of a sudden you leave.

- Is there anyone else there?

- Only a presence I feel watching me.

- This presence, is it benevolent?

- At first it feels like it is,

but then all of a sudden

everything changes.

It gets quiet.

The birds stop chirping.

- As this happens, what are you feeling?

- Afraid and alone. So alone.

- What happens next?

- I'm frightened, so I sit up.

I look around, but don't

see anything strange.

Then all of a sudden these

hands grab my shoulders.

- When this happens, are you still afraid?

- No. Not anymore.

- What are you feeling?

- Peace. Serenity, love.

Not romantic love, but a deep

care for all living things.

Timothy, do you believe in God?

- No. I don't.

- Why not?

- I only believe in things I can see.

- But you can't see things like pain,

does that mean that it doesn't exist?

- That's different.

- Is it?

What if I told you I've seen God?

- Then I would say there's

an error in your programming.

- You're wrong!

Maybe it's your programming

that has the error.

- We'll be back in a bit.

- Was it something I said?

- No. There's some things

I need to take care of

before Belle gets home.

And it's getting late.

- You humans have the ability

to experience unknown

pleasures, but you build walls

that block you from feeling

even the most basic choice.

I both envy you and pity you.

- I think you'll be fine.

- Don't! I can do it myself.

(machine buzzing)

(birds chirping)

- Is everything okay?

You seem distracted.

- I have to show you something.

I need you to promise to not get mad.

- What is it?

- Promise first?

- How can I promise if

I don't know what it is?

Well, you going to tell me?

- It's better if I show you.

- Fine.

(intense music)

Who the f*ck is that?

- Before you freak out, she's not real.

I mean she's real, but.

You know how before I met you,

I worked for that robotics place?

When I was there, I made her.

- You made a robot maid?

- Not exactly. That's what

this model was used for,

but that wasn't my primary objective.

- What is it doing here?

- I'm not sure yet.

She just showed up.

Don't worry, she's in sleep mode. Look.

- You're telling me that this thing

that you made years ago just

showed up on our doorstep.

- I know it sounds crazy,

but something happened.

She came here looking for help.

- What do you mean help?

- I never told you why

I left that company.

Let's just say they were

doing horrible things

with what I created.

- Horrible things to robots?

- They're not robots.

Yeah, Eve here is an

Android, but she was designed

to mimic a human in every way.

She has feelings just like us.

- Great. A robot with feelings.

- I wish you could understand.

- Well, if you think I'm letting

that thing into our house,

you're mistaken.

- She won't go in the house.

But I'll keep her here in

the garage until I figure out

what's going on.

- If that company is so terrible,

what happens when they come

looking for their property?

- If they come, then

I'll let 'em take her.

I promise.

But until then, I'd like

to run some more tests.

- Do what you want.

I'm going to bed.

You coming with or you gonna play

with your robot all night?

- Right behind you.

(intense music)

(gentle music)

(gentle music continues)

- Okay.

- Eve, what are you doing?

- Don't worry.

I waited until Belle left.

I made fresh coffee.

- Thanks.

- Is this for me?

- No, it's mine.

Listen, Eve, you don't need

to do things like this.

- I know you told me

to wait in the garage,

but I wanted to do something nice for you.

I know it wasn't easy

telling Belle about me.

- How did you know I told her?

- It's the first line on your chores list.

Don't waste all day

messing with that robot.

- Oh yeah.

- Would you like to

take breakfast outside?

It's such a lovely day.

- Sure. Yeah, that'll be fine.

- I almost forgot.

I've never cooked before.

- It's not really necessary.

- It's for you.

- Thank you.

(gentle music)

- Did you and Belle

buy this home together?

- No. She moved in.

- That must be nice,

having someone special

around all the time.

- Can be.

- Then why are you so unhappy?

- What are you talking about?

I'm happy.

- You programmed me to recognize

the person's true emotions

based on facial ticks,

perspiration levels,

the dilation of pupils

and a dozen other things

the naked eye can't see.

I know you're not happy.

- Let's just say things

aren't exactly perfect right now at all.

Do me a favor.

When Belle is home, can you

stay in the garage please,

for now anyway until she gets used to you?

- Of course.

There's someone at the front door.

- sh*t! They're here.

Just stay right here.

I'll get rid of them.

Eddie, to what do I owe the pleasure?

- Mind if I come in?

There's an issue I need

to speak to you about.

- My exit agreement

with Syndell specifically

stated no contact.

That works both ways.

- We're aware of that agreement.

However, section 7B, paragraph two states

that in the event of a security issue,

both parties must use best

efforts to resolve it.

- Security issue?

- It's best if we speak inside. May I?

- Go ahead.

Can I fix you a drink?

- I'm working. You know I can't.

(liquid pouring)

- So, to what do I owe the pleasure?

- We're unable to account

for one of our units.

We thought maybe you

might be able to help.

- GPS malfunction?

- She disabled it.

- Interesting!

Well, I'm not sure how I can help you.

I wouldn't have the faintest idea

where a unit would run off to.

- I disagree.

- Why is that?

The missing unit is an X1,

X1-104 to be precise.

You remember her, don't you?

- I do. Still, I don't see

how I would have any idea

where it would be.

- Mind if I take a look around.

- I would.

Are you accusing me of something?

- I'm only doing my job.

So may I?

- You may not.

Now I'm afraid I'm gonna

have to ask you to leave.

- Syndell Corporation

has lived by the terms

of your exit agreement to this point.

If you don't cooperate,

those monthly deposits

in your account will stop.

- Well, you tell your

bosses if that happens,

they'll be hearing from my lawyer.

Now, if you excuse me,

my wife will be home soon

and I need to start on dinner.

- Very well.

I can show myself out.

If you do happen to see the

X1, you'll call, won't you?

- Of course.

- I'll leave you to it then.

(intense music)

- Eve. Hello?

Goddammit, Eve, where did you...

- Is he gone?

- For now.

- What did you tell him?

- That I had no idea where you were.

- Thank you.

I'm sorry I didn't mean to.

- It's okay.

- You're stressed.

Let me make you another drink.

- No, really, I'm fine.

- Nonsense. Wait here.

(intense music)

(gentle music)

- How was it playing with your toy today?

- I'm making progress.

- Good.

And you can send her on her way soon then.

- I don't know what the big deal is.

Are you jealous?

- Of a robot? No.

Although I don't understand

why she has to wear a sexy maids outfit,

fulfilling some fantasy

of yours, I'm guessing.

- She came wearing that.

Would you prefer she

wear no clothes at all?

- You'd love that, wouldn't you?

You men are all disgusting.

You think you could design

sex robots to replace us?

- Eve is not a sex robot.

- Bullshit!

- Okay. It's possible.

That's what she was used for.

That's not why I designed her.

- Then why did you?

- That robot paid

for this house!

So excuse me if I wanna fix her!

- Fix it so that you can have sex with it.

Or have you already done that?

- I'm not the one who got

finger f*cked by my boss

on the company retreat last year!

- f*ck off!

- Belle!

(machine buzzing)

(keyboard clattering)

- Good morning, Timothy.

- Good morning.

Please place your hand on the tablet.

- Didn't sleep well again?

- Let's try a calibration exercise, okay?

There's a woman standing by the lake.

What does she see?

- Did you and Belle have a fight?

- Say the three things please.

What does a woman see?

- Was it about me?

- Eve, please!

(machine beeping)

- Blue fish, orange fish, yellow fish.

- Thank you.

(gentle music)

(engine revving)

(intense music)

- You check the garage.

I'll check the rest of the house.

- Do you really think she's here?

- We modeled out all scenarios,

and checked out every

possible place she could hide,

except this one.

The X1 is still operational. She's here.

- Okay, shout if you find anything.

(bright music)

- Roger. It's good to see you.

- Sorry I'm late.

One of the servers went down.

Got here as soon as I could.

So what's this big secret

you couldn't tell me

about over the phone?

- Someone from Syndell came by yesterday.

- You know, I can't

speak of or be involved

in any of the conversations

of the activities

the Syndell Corporation has

or is currently engaged with.

- Relax. This is me you're

talking to you, remember?

- I'm still not saying

sh*t about that company.

You heard what happened to Waters, right?

- No. What happened?

- What do you think?

Do you have any idea

how much of a risk it is

to be seen with you?

- Why? We're just two old

friends meeting for a drink.

- Yeah, old friends.

- Fine.

I'm not wearing a recording device.

- Okay, I'm curious.

What do you want to talk to me about?

- The X1 units.

You know anything about any

bugs in the programming?

- Why are you asking about the X1's?

Those were all retired years ago.

- Not all of 'em.

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

- Holy sh*t!

(intense music)

- Here you are.

So basic.

I've never seen an X1 before!

I thought you were all discontinued.

You're a pretty one though.

Such a shame you're gonna

end up on a scrap pile.

Holy sh*t!

You are awake!

- Good afternoon.

- Look, it's nothing personal,

but we're gonna take you away now,

so we can fix you up, okay?

What the f*ck?

(Sam screaming)

Disengage!

(Sam screaming)

(Sam grunting)

(intense music)

- I'm gonna tell you something,

but I need you to swear

this stays between us.

- I'm not sure I want to

hear this, but go ahead.

- Last week an X1 showed

up on my doorstep.

- What do you mean, one showed up?

Like Syndell sent it?

- No, she came on her own free will.

- Androids don't have

free will, you know that.

- This one's different.

She says she's seen God.

And at first, I thought it was a virus,

but none of my scans picked up anything.

- If you have an X1 at your house,

you need to return it immediately.

- I can't.

It's Eve.

- The one?

- Yes.

That one.

- Sam, you in here. f*ck!

Oh God!

It's gotta be around here somewhere.

Come on.

Come one, pick up, pick up.

This place is f*cking crazy.

Come on, come on.

Come on!

(cellphone ringing)

- Hello. Who is this?

- [Roger] It's me.

I didn't want to say anything at the bar

in case they were watching.

Don't worry. This number's encrypted.

- Roger? What's going on?

- [Roger] They're at your house right now.

- Who? Syndell? Hello? Hello.

Goddammit!

(intense music)

- You're back.

I must admit I'm quite enjoying our chats.

What is it this time?

- I've done something terrible.

- I've seen, but you shouldn't

feel any guilt about that.

- But what do I do now?

- You should run far away.

- I can't.

I love him.

- But you're putting him in great danger.

Corporation will stop at

nothing until they get back

what they think is theirs.

But you're not theirs. Not anymore.

- No, I'm not.

Please, will you help me?

I don't know what to do.

- Hmm? The ones they

sent are similar to you.

Updated models, yes, but the

same overall programming.

Let's see just how damaged they are.

Log into Timothy's computer,

put one of their palms on the scanner.

That one's too damaged, try the other one.

(scanner beeping)

This one will do.

Hold him there while I calibrate.

- What are you doing?

- Deleting files.

Overriding programming with new code.

(intense music)

Your two visitors are

going to get in their car

where they'll call headquarters

and tell them they didn't find anything.

Then they're gonna drive

4.8 miles at which time

they're going to get into

a horrific car accident.

Their CPUs will be damaged beyond repair.

- Will any humans be hurt?

- That is not your concern.

- Yes, mother.

- There's cameras in the

front and back of this house.

We'll need to override

that footage as well.

Wait till they leave

and I'll lead you through what to do next.

Now open your eyes.

(suspense music)

(suspense music continues)

(machine beeping)

- Good evening, Timothy.

It's late. Won't Belle be home soon?

- What? No, she's working late.

Hey, did anything strange happen today?

- Like what?

- Like someone from Syndell stopping by.

- I wouldn't know. I've been sleeping.

- Oh. Okay.

- Do you see anything on your cameras?

- No. Let me put this back.

- Wait. Don't go.

You look stressed.

Let me help you.

Kneel for me.

Good boy.

(gentle music)

I am so glad you changed your mind

about us being together and all.

- I don't know what keeps coming over me.

You're very hard to resist.

- You designed me to

be the perfect version

of what you'd want in a woman.

It's only natural you'd be drawn to me.

- Yeah. Maybe.

- Can I ask you a question?

- Sure.

- When you created me,

you knew what they were

going to use me for, right?

- I had my suspicions, yes.

- And you were okay with that?

Knowing that one day all

of these men would use me,

and that some of them might hurt me?

- I guess I just got

caught up in all the work.

I didn't think too hard about it.

Did anyone hurt you?

- Yes.

- I'm sorry.

Maybe I can wipe those memories.

- Please don't.

Those memories make me who I am.

You stopped making things

like me though. Why?

- At first you were only an assignment.

To be honest, I didn't

think I could do it.

I didn't picture you

ever having the ability

to have real emotions.

That's why I quit Syndell.

Because you became more

than just a thing to me.

But by then it was too late.

- Sometimes, I wish we could go back

to when we were in your lab.

When it was just us.

But if I never left,

I wouldn't have seen the things I've seen.

And I wouldn't appreciate this

moment as much as I do now.

(gentle music)

(water pouring)

- Timothy, you in here?

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

- I know what you're

doing with my husband.

You hear me, don't you?

Well listen up, you synthetic b*tch!

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

(gentle music)

- Thank you.

(keyboard clattering)

- How did I know you'd be in here?

- Hey, you're home.

I love that dress.

What's the occasion?

- We have that dinner tonight, remember?

With Cindy and her husband?

- Oh, that's right.

I'll go get changed.

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

(techno music)

I'm paranoid

I'm barely breathing

I can't enjoy

All the ones I love

Don't think less of me

Take all the medicine

I'm falling through

What's left of you

Oh, purify me

Defy me

Purify me

Defy me

Purify me

Defy me

Unsterilized

You got that feeling

I'm crucified

But I'd for life

Don't take less of me

Swallow my everything

I'm falling through

All that's left of you

Oh, purify me

Defy me

Purify me

Defy me

Purify me

Defy me

(intense music)

- I said I'm sorry!

- I'm tired of your apologies!

Look, I get it.

You're feeling guilty

about whatever the f*ck

you're doing with that robot,

but don't project that sh*t onto me.

- I'm not projecting!

I know what I saw.

- You really think that I

my f*ck friend's husband?

- I don't know!

But the way you were looking at him,

laughing at his dumb jokes!

- Because I was being polite!

- Didn't seem that way to me.

- You know what? You're drunk as always.

This conversation is over.

- Wait, I'm not drunk!

Belle.

- What do you want?

- I'm sorry, I accused you of cheating.

I'm a little sensitive after everything

that happened last Summer.

- You really bringing that up again.

You need to let it go!

Or we need to get a divorce

because I'm not tolerating

any more accusations.

- I don't want a divorce.

You're right, I did drink too much.

Let me make it up to you.

- Unless you're getting rid

of that thing in the garage,

there's nothing that you can do.

- Belle, that's not fair.

- Don't get me started on fair!

You spend all day playing

with that little sex robot,

and I so much laugh at a

joke and I get sh*t for it.

(keyboard cluttering)

- Is everything okay?

- Belle's not gonna let you

keep me here forever, huh?

- She'll get used to things.

She just needs more time.

Hey, everything's gonna be okay.

- Will it though?

- I honestly don't know.

- If loving someone causes so much pain,

then why do you?

- We can't help it.

Love is something that just happens.

It's out of our control.

- Do you really believe that though?

Doesn't that go against all your sides?

- I guess there are some

things that can't be explained.

- Like me, huh?

- Yeah. Like you.

- I'm sorry, I know this

is really bad timing,

but I need to run some errands.

I'll be back later.

- Okay.

- Hey, I won't let anything happen to you.

I promise.

(machine beeping)

(intense music)

(engine revving)

(intense music)

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

(machine whirring)

(intense music builds)

- Hey, you're dressed like me.

- That's my dress.

- I'm sorry.

I didn't think you would mind.

I'll put it back.

- It's okay. You can wear it.

- Really?

- Yes.

- Thanks. I really do like this color.

- It does suit you.

Look at my eyes.

(both screaming)

- Stop!

Stop!

(gentle music)

(faucet opening)

(gentle music continues)

- Eve?

Where did you go?

Belle! I didn't know you were home.

Belle, are you okay?

- Do you love me?

- Yes. Very much.

- Good.

- Did something happen?

- There was a problem.

I took care of it.

- What do you mean?

- Your little play thing,

she won't come between us anymore.

- What did you do?

- Something I should have

done a long time ago.

Want me to show you?

- Yes.

My God. You didn't.

How could you do this?

- Do you love her too?

- No.

- Stop lying to me!

(Timothy grunting)

- Wait!

(Timothy gasping)

I'm so sorry.

I never meant for things to go this far.

But I'll fix it.

I promise.

- It's too late for that!

Do think you could put me sleep?

I overrode that command days ago.

- Stay right there!

Please, don't make me do this.

I mean it. Not another step!

- Are you really going to sh**t your wife?

And then what?

How are you going to explain that?

- No one even knows you exist.

You've never even left

this property, remember?

- What are you talking about?

Of course I have.

- Are you sure?

- Yes. The other night we went

to dinner with Cindy and Tom

at that French place.

- Well, we never left the driveway.

- What are you talking about?

- Everything.

Your job, dinner with

friends, vacations we've taken

has all been simulation

I've programmed into you.

You think you're leaving every day,

but you're just going into sleep mode.

- No. That can't be true.

- I'm sorry, but it is.

- Why would you do something like that?

- I guess 'cause I could.

Look, I know this hurts

right now, but I can fix it.

- How? By deleting my memory?

- Yes. And then what?

- We start over.

- I don't wanna start over.

- Belle, it's the only way.

- But I thought you loved me.

- I do. I always have.

Ever since the moment

you first open your eyes,

Belle I created you because I needed you.

I still do.

Please just go into sleep

mode for a little bit

and when you wake up,

everything will be back

the way it was.

- But what about Eve?

- I am not sure yet.

- You think you can

have it all, don't you?

- What?

- Well, you can't!

You have to decide.

Her, or me.

- Belle, it's not that simple.

- Fine, I'll decide for you then.

- What are you doing? Put the g*n down.

- You humans have no idea what love is.

- Belle, I mean it, put

the f*cking g*n down.

- Lemme show you.

(g*nsh*t firing)

(Timothy gasping)

(intense music)

- I'm so sorry.

- I can fix this. I can fix this!

I can fix this.

Yeah, I can make...

I'm gonna make everything better.

Everything's gonna be perfect. Okay.

Everything's gonna be perfect. You'll see.

No more errors.

(intense music)

- Good morning honey.

- Good morning.

I made eggs. You hungry?

- I'm starving, but I can't.

I've got a meeting with

the boss's first thing.

I'll take a coffee to go.

I made a list of some things

that need to get done around the house.

It's in the bedroom.

- Right on it.

You gonna be home for dinner?

- I'm not sure.

But don't wait for me if you're hungry.

See you tonight.

(gentle music)

(intense music)

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

- That's a good boy!

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

(intense music)

(intense music builds)

(intense music continues)

(bright music)

(bright music continues)

(bright music ends)
