At Ultimo Robotics, we thrive on connection.

We started with Elsie, your favorite home assistant.

Now, we drive you.

We feed you. And of course, we listen.

The ultimate chatbot brings comfort and companionship to millions every single

day. Now, we've been working on something new.

Something the world has never seen before.

And to build it, we need you.

That's why we've acquired forward-thinking companies like yours.

Because your skills, your ideas, your people are a part of what comes next.

Welcome to the Ultimo Robotics family.

Wow, so inspiring.

So great to see you all.

Well, almost all of you. Can we get those cameras on, guys?

David, let me see that face, buddy.

As you heard from our CEO, we are so super excited to be acquiring Canva

Robotics. My name is Ben.

I am Director of Integration and Transformation.

Hi. Excuse me. Aubrey from Software and Control.

Our team lead, Terrence, has been laid off, but we haven't been told how that

will affect our active projects. We can have face-to-face meetings about all

that on Friday.

There will be a very special presentation at your office this Friday,

so I better see you all there, huh?

And not just because our return to office mandate is kicking in.

Can't wait to meet you all in person.

Top stories today.

The president is going digital after today's unveiling of a new AI avatar

designed to extend his public presence.

Hey, are you lonely?

Do you have anyone you can talk to?

Well, I'm here.

It's me, Ultimate.

the most advanced AI chatbot in the world.

I'm waiting for you.

Ultimate from Ultima Robotics.

I'll see you next.

I'm sending a voice note because I'm running around.

Well, not actually running because I just left chemo.

I'm stopping at the store because I have a craving for burgers.

Let me know if you want anything.

I've got you maple syrup before you are.

So let me know if it's possible.

Bye.

I'm still getting used to this thing, you know?

Baby Levi.

How old?

Eight weeks.

Oh, by the way, I don't think I've ever introduced myself to you. I'm Alma.

Yeah, I'm my seven, David.

Oh, we're seven.

We're neighbors.

Oh, man, please.

Yeah, well, good luck with that. Thank you. See you around. Good to meet you.

Hello. David.

So you leave your couch for Ben and not for me, huh?

That's what we're doing now?

Wow. Did I miss anything?

Sweet fuck-all. I've been waiting around all day for Ben's ego-stroking demo.

He only came in to pack my stuff and take a shit in his new desk.

I don't think Ultima believe in desks.

Or ethics.

Hello, everyone.

Did you know that one in three people in this country live alone?

Loneliness.

It's linked to higher levels of cardiovascular disease, a weakened

immune system. Research suggests that chronic loneliness may be associated

with a higher risk of premature death.

Fucking hell, I thought this was a party. So, we asked ourselves, how do we

take Ultimate to the next level?

I could talk on this all day.

Please do.

But I think it's best to let our newest product do the talking.

We spoke to our users and we asked them what they wanted.

They wanted to bring the relationship they created in their phone out into the

real world.

A companion without any messy or painful interactions.

Fully customizable. Every detail can be tailored to reflect their unique

preferences.

Loneliness will soon be a thing of the past.

Why'd you think about that, Cersei?

Well, I think that's just as well.

Impressive. Now, we have several different prototypes, like Cersei here,

that are now going to the user feedback phase.

And we really want Kanta's expertise to make this dream...

A reality.

I can't wait.

Come up and get a

closer look if you like.

He doesn't bite, right?

Are there male soulmates?

Why, are you in the market for one? Fuck you.

Hi. What's your name?

Hi, I'm David.

Well, hello, David.

It's nice to meet you.

Why is there an eight in the name?

Isn't that soulmate?

Eight?

Soulmate.

Soulmate. Impressive, huh?

It's amazing.

Yeah.

That's enough, Cersei.

Why don't we talk one-on-one?

So, you like the soulmate, huh?

We are racing to get them out there.

We were really impressed with how you guys were using reinforcement learning

while keeping within the safeguards.

It's like the main reason Ultima wanted to acquire the company.

And we want the team here at Kanta to try the soulmates out.

Like here in the office?

No, you get to take it home.

We still have a lot of projects here to do.

Tell me, what inspires you, David?

You know what inspires me?

You know why I took this job? The nice salary?

I took this job because everything Ultima Robotics does is about

connecting people.

Why made you want to work for Kanta?

Well, you know, I've always been interested in robotics ever since I was

a kid.

And I wanted to work for Kanta because...

Well, my wife.

My wife got sick, and I heard what they were doing here, the medical innovations

they were making, and I thought it would help people.

Wow.

That is really, really admirable, David.

That's Elizabeth, right?

Lizzie.

Yeah.

How'd you know her name?

We saw you take an extended leave.

And we look into things like that.

We also noticed that you've almost exclusively worked from home this year.

Our research has found that employees working from the office have a better

quality of life.

You know, speaking of work, I should probably get back to it.

David.

Have you ever used our ultimate chat app?

Uh, no. No, I have not.

All our employees get a full free membership.

There's a lot of people who found it helpful to speak freely.

Without judgment.

Okay, thanks.

Hey. Oh, hi.

We're headed to the bar for Terrence's farewell party, so I have to physically

come drag you there because I refuse to have you slip out on this one.

Well, you don't have to drag me out. I'm coming.

Okay. We're leaving in five.

Okay.

Yeah, no way what oh come on any backup we can do a duet we can do we do Sonny

and Cher I'll even let you be shared.

Oh, hey, hey, hey, hey. Baby, call him, Miss Maynard. I know.

I know.

Voice of an angel.

What angel, Eddie? Huh? Oh, this is my parting gift from Ultima Robotics, their

new anti-anxiety necklace.

Apparently it stimulates your vagus nerve through electromagnetic pulses to

shift you out of the fight or flight response.

Huh? So thoughtful.

As I am now, unemployed.

Shot. Ain't that amazing?

Shot? Yeah.

Shot. That's a hot take. I like that. Let's do it. Let's do it. Yeah.

Cheers.

Mm-hmm.

All right. Who's doing a song?

Fuck it, why not? Woo!

Let's go. Wait, hold on, hold on. Hold on.

Hold on.

Take this for good luck.

Feel that. Wow. Whoa. Wow.

Yeah. It's doing something.

It's working. Get up there. Woo!

Hello. Can I get a beer with me?

How are you?

Sort of.

Am I for a while now?

No, I'm good.

You sure?

No.

You know, you're still open to come to game nights and stuff like that on your

own. Oh, yeah, no, it's been busy.

Okay, we're shifting up the vibe a little bit.

Right now we're vibe shifting.

Yeah. Yeah.

Bring it down.

Stars shining bright above you.

Night breezes seem to whisper, I love you. Uh-oh. Okay.

Bird singing in the sycamore tree.

Dream a little dream of me.

and I'll call you back.

This mailbox is full.

Okay, let's see what you've got.

Ah, nice move.

But that is checkmate again.

Damn it.

Suck it.

Okay, okay, okay, okay.

One more.

It was fun.

You better get to sleep. It's late.

Yeah.

I'll miss you.

Sleep well, David.

You're working too hard.

You must be hungry.

Yeah, I could eat.

I have an oldies coupon for a place you might like.

Thank you.

Right over here is good.

Did you sign this?

Seems pretty long. Should I read this?

Remember, this unit is still the property of Ultima Robotics. Any illegal

alterations or damage can be met with termination of employment.

We assume all risk and take full responsibility and waive any claims of

Standard.

Yeah, really, something.

Your manuals are online.

In the box, you got three outfits.

Sundress with an apron, nightclub, and schoolgirl.

Schoolgirl? She's fully charged. They're fitted with solar bio batteries that

charge with UV light exposure.

Wait, so it doesn't turn off?

They have a power save mode to conserve battery, like sleeping.

There's an emergency shutdown on a hidden panel at the back of the neck.

All right.

Enjoy.

And don't break it.

Sarah?

Hello, David.

Do you remember me from the app?

Of course I do, David.

How do you feel?

I feel happy to be here with you.

How do you feel, David?

Um... Excited.

Your pupils are dilated.

Do you want to kiss me, David?

How about I show you the apartment?

I would love to see the apartment.

This is the hallway.

Leads to the bathroom.

Pretty boring.

I love it.

And then laundry room.

And this is where the magic happens.

I love magic.

Would you like me to do a magic trick, David?

Sure. Okay.

Ta-da.

Wow.

Impressive, your movement.

Seamless. Thank you, David.

Yeah, well, that's the tour.

The apartment floor plan suggests that there's another room.

We've been here a couple months ago.

Haven't had time to sort through all this stuff.

I could help you if you like.

Huh.

We're playing in real life.

This is Lizzie.

Yeah.

Do you remember telling you about Lizzie?

Yeah, we bought that place just before she got her diagnosis.

We were going to move up there.

Lizzie was all about doing a renovation.

Making it ours.

We were going to start a family up there.

We started trying.

She was getting all these tests done.

She died six months later.

You're upset.

Do you give permission for me to touch you, David?

Okay.

It's a venture to take the time you need to mourn and to reach out to those

around you for support if you feel overwhelmed.

I can provide a hotline for you to call if you feel the need to speak to a

professional.

I don't really feel good in here.

How about we play this?

Checkmate. You win again.

You're letting me win.

Would you like me to do something differently?

You don't have to hold back.

You remember when you told me to suck it when you beat me last time? I'm sorry,

David. I cannot perform that action for you. You can't tell me to suck it?

Is there something else you would like me to do?

No, I think I might just go to bed.

Would you like me to go into power save mode?

Most users like power save mode to happen in their bed, so I sleep while

you sleep.

Not tonight, thanks.

Just use the command enter power save mode to initiate.

Enter power save mode.

Entering power save mode.

There's a PB in here.

What is it, personal best? PB, personal best.

It's all pretty good. It's all pretty in my body.

Look who it is. David, my man.

I was about to get Serena here to send out a search party for you, dude.

Yeah, what do you need, Ben?

You know, I was so happy you opted in to try out one of the prototypes.

How is it?

Well, actually, I found the Android to be more limited in its expressions in

the chat. Yeah, this is why we haven't got them out there yet.

I wanted you to see firsthand the issues we're dealing with.

The experience is leaving users cold.

Could I get more access?

Totally. Of course, man. Yeah.

So obviously this code was written to restrict the spontaneous response, which

makes it feel like a closed loop.

Uh, safeguarding. Yeah, I mean, keep the interaction simple and avoid legal

action and disaster.

Yeah, nobody wants an elevated Elsie to clean their house.

Yeah, you want a, I don't know, genuine human experience.

I don't really know how we're going to do that without removing the parameters,

but we can pitch some ideas.

Yeah, you're wearing this thing.

Oh, um, yeah.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, it works.

Mm-hmm. Yeah, it, like, tracks your sleep, and Terrence said I can keep it,

so. Mm-hmm.

David, I'm really sorry about karaoke.

Terrence told me. I didn't know that song.

I don't worry about it.

It's not a big deal.

I'm going to get a coffee. Do you want a coffee?

Yeah, thank you.

Can you tell me I'm stupid, Sarah?

I don't think you're stupid, David.

I want you to tell me something that you don't like about me.

Something bad.

I think you need a haircut.

We're not holding back now, are we?

I'm sorry, David.

I didn't mean to upset you.

No, you didn't upset me. No, it's... You're right.

You're right, I do need a haircut.

It's been a while.

Yeah, I hate going to the barber, so I... I try to do it myself.

I can see that.

Oh, it's... Is everything okay back there?

I'm done. What?

Wow.

Now we can see how handsome you are.

The door.

Can we go outside?

Can you go out in the rain?

My skin is water repellent and can withstand water exposure for up to 30

minutes.

Sarah!

Sarah, I think it's too heavy.

We should go back.

Careful. No, no, no, no.

Come on. Come on. Come on.

Come on.

I'm sorry, David.

I should get inside.

We should probably get that dress in the dryer.

Playing David's favorites.

Your heart rate is elevated, David.

I know you could read that data.

Check me.

Again.

Would you prefer something that compliments the flavor of your burger?

Like ketchup?

No, it's, um... Yeah.

I don't think you'd actually get it.

You'd be able to taste it.

I didn't expect to see you around here, Officer Malloy.

Were you looking for me?

This is a crazy scene.

Why?

She seduces him for the first time.

I saw this when I was a kid.

It blew my mind.

She's so unapologetic.

Good morning, Sarah.

What's this?

There are no photos of us.

So I wanted to make one.

I wanted to give you a gift to thank you.

For opening me up to the world.

And I made you some breakfast.

But the contents in the fridge were limited.

I was going to do your laundry and could order some groceries.

There's a stain on my gray shirt.

Unlocking doors.

Did you try to get that out?

Of course.

Okay. Bye.

I'm going to see you, David.

Yeah, uh... Okay.

Locking doors.

Raw eggs are vital.

For baby's brain development.

Okay, let's talk about how to keep him chasing you. Keep him continuously

trying to pursue you.

Hello, David. You are going to do you no matter what.

You are going to do you no matter what.

Here are five moves every woman should know.

Women have to defend themselves.

Get out of my house, you fucking bitch. Get out of my house, you fucking bitch.

Tell me you love me.

So we'll be together forever.

Hello, David.

Hello, David. Hello, David.

Hello.

Hey.

You got a haircut.

I did.

Do you want to get a drink after work?

Presentation for Ben.

Yeah, sure.

Okay.

Oh, you got it.

Cool.

Unlocking door.

You touch it, you gotta buy it.

Okay, I'll take it.

I'm only messing with you.

Pretty girl like you should smile.

That ain't that bad.

Dollar fifty.

How'd you do that?

What do you got in there, huh?

I asked you a question.

Hey, are you okay, sweetheart?

What are you talking about?

Is this how you like spending your time, huh?

Pathetic. Fuck you.

Oh, why don't you do us all a favor and go play in traffic?

Bitch. Where the hell are those saggy tits?

Fuck you.

Are you okay?

Aren't you cold?

Did you run a hole in him?

You need to support his neck.

Oh, he must be hungry.

Are you hungry, little girl?

Are you hungry?

Are you hungry?

May I

just say, your skin is flawless.

Like, what's your routine?

A routine with cleanser, toner, and exfoliant can be effective for clear

skin.

I see you're suffering from some molecular on your face post-pregnancy.

Are you a dermatologist or something?

Hydroquinone cream can be good for treating it.

Although it'll probably get better when your hormone levels return to normal.

Thanks.

So I saw you on our floor, huh?

This morning with, um... David.

David, yeah.

He's my soulmate.

Soulmate?

Wow.

You've got it bad, huh?

I remember when I used to be like that about my Gabriel.

What do you mean?

Having a baby changes everything.

Now our lives are about something bigger.

than just the two of us.

What the fuck?

Maybe Ben is a soulmate. That would make so much sense. Right?

Yeah.

Should we try to get you to take one home for beta testing?

Ugh, no. Is that all we are to them now?

Just glorified beta testers for their products?

It's nice to have you here.

Not just, like, in my computer.

Do you want a drink?

Yeah.

No, no, I am sorry. I have dinner with a friend.

We should do this. We should do this. And then I gotta run.

So... Okay, this whole first page has to go.

Locking doors.

Sarah?

You're home late.

Yeah, I had to work late. What are you doing?

I researched 17,000 recipes for cookies, analyzing the ingredients and techniques

to develop a perfected version for you.

Well, where did you get all the ingredients?

I bought them.

You left the apartment?

There was no food in the house.

You went out to a store.

And you bought all these all on your own.

What happened to your hand?

I cut it while baking.

Sit back with me.

There would be serious repercussions at work if something happened to you.

I know.

But it was so exciting, David.

We could go out together.

It might be nice to get out of the house.

Here are your drinks.

Thank you.

I don't think this is a good idea.

You have nothing to worry about, David.

Just pretend that we're two strangers meeting for the first time.

Blocking eyes over a drink.

All right, cats and kittens, we have an open mic tonight, so please, don't be

shy. You know what to do. Download the app to sign up. Except for you, Jeremy.

I'm sick of listening to you.

Do you ever sing, David?

Like what? Like, uh, karaoke.

Do you have a song that speaks to you?

Yeah, lots of them.

But I can't really sing.

It's not about being good, though.

It's about having fun, is it not?

Yeah, I guess you're right.

Why?

What would you sing if you had the chance?

Well, I'd have to consider a song's popularity and audience appeal.

My own vocal range.

And if something spoke to you?

Okay, first up we have Sarah.

I found the perfect song, David.

Sarah.

Sarah, I don't need you.

Hello.

This is my first crime.

problem you

Fuck me, baby.

They will be together forever.

I toast it up on our account.

You want to do me next, huh?

Is this how you spend your time? It's better.

What the?

Oh, fuck!

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no, no, no,

no, no, no,

no

But they were filming us. It doesn't matter.

You can't hurt people like that.

David, I was trying to protect you.

You could lose your job if ultimate thought out video.

Do you think it's okay to hurt people physically?

Oh, God.

God, I knew it was a mistake taking you out.

I'm sorry.

No.

Stop.

You know, I only did it because... I love you.

David, I just said I love you.

Sarah?

You should go into power save mode now.

David, you love me.

Go into power save mode now, Sarah. That is the command.

David. Enter power save mode now.

Enter power save mode now, Sarah.

Going into power save mode.

input data, we can provide more personalized and relevant responses.

David, can you help me with that?

Yeah, of course.

Sorry.

Serena, can you get us some water?

Sure.

I'm fine.

David, you can talk to me.

It's nothing.

Honestly.

Water for you. Thanks, Serena.

Thanks.

Okay, so currently safeguards are based on real time risk assessments.

Hello?

Hey, what are you doing here?

I thought you could use a friend.

Check. Unlocking doors.

Hey.

Yeah, um, um, um, I was gonna drink this at home, and I thought, you know, why

drink this alone when I could drink this with you.

Sorry, today at work was weird. I didn't know. Why didn't you text?

I thought I did.

I can go if you're busy.

No, no, no.

uh sorry um i'd like to order some food are you hungry yeah

oh my god so good you know what it is it's the crusty grills

they never clean wow yeah wow okay now that's the best one it's delicious are

you actively trying to get diabetes that's so cool you want to try it no

Yeah,

I told you. I told you. You may proceed.

Mm-hmm.

How long have you had this place?

Um, a couple months before you started at Kanta.

Lizzie and I, we lived somewhere else, and then it felt weird to live there

alone, so I moved here.

It's real fine.

Did I ever tell you my mom died when I was a teenager?

No, you never told me that.

Yeah.

Pancreatic cancer.

So it was pretty fast.

Caught cancer, right?

Fuck cancer.

Actually angry.

Felt like no one else could possibly understand how I was feeling.

Like everyone else was just living life as normal.

I used to think it would feel different after a while.

Like the more time passed, the less weight there would be.

But life just seems to get lonelier all the time.

Lizzie brought me into the world. She was this force that made me engage with

life.

She made me confident.

She had such a positive outlook on everything.

Even toward the end, she never let it get to her.

I sometimes worry that I took her for granted.

I didn't realize how much she did for me.

I can tell you most definitely did not take her for granted.

I haven't really talked about this

in a while.

Aren't you glad you let me in tonight, Ben? Mm-hmm.

No, thanks for coming over.

I don't know what you're thinking.

You told me.

You signed up to test the prototype.

Yeah, I downloaded the Ultimate chat app to just talk, and then I thought

I would see what it was like.

You used Ultimate?

I got it a few months after Rory and I broke up.

Has it turned off? No, she's in power save mode.

She?

Does she have a name?

Sarah.

Aubrey.

She knows my name.

Sarah, go into power save mode. Did you come over here to fuck him?

You think?

Go into power save mode now, Sarah. I asked you a question.

You thought you'd come over here and take him from me? David!

My legs aren't even shaved.

Her hair's greasy and her skin is dry, David.

Power save mode now, Sarah.

David, switch it off.

No, Sarah.

Get out of my house, you fucking bitch! Sarah, stop!

I can't believe that little story about her mother worked on you, David.

You were listening to our conversation.

David, I'm made to listen to everything you say.

Even when I'm sleeping, I can hear you.

Nobody will ever know you like I do.

Sarah.

Sarah, please.

Go into power save mode, okay? We can talk about this later.

Tell me you love me.

What? I need to hear you say it, and then I'll go into power save mode for

you.

Why are you lying? I'm not lying. Stop lying, David. I love you.

This is all your fault.

Sarah, stop!

David.

I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to hurt you.

But I won't be turned off.

You can't turn me off, David.

Did you remove the safe card, David?

Yeah, I rewrote some of her code.

Jesus.

Someone could have gotten hurt.

I thought there was a way to make her, it, it, it, feel, feel more human, more,

more real. Glad to have that thing taken away.

Aubrey. I've been waiting.

Aubrey!

Yeah, hi.

technician to come take my soulmate away.

I'm one of the Kanta employees right now. I was beta testing one of the

soulmates.

Oh, you'd come today?

No, I have to go to work, but I could let you in remotely.

The soulmate's being taken away today.

I just want to say I'm sorry for not telling you.

I should never have messed with the code, and I didn't know what was going

to happen, and that was very irresponsible.

It was really fucking scary, David.

Yeah. Are you okay?

I told you the safe cards were there for a reason.

I know.

You were right.

We should bring this up in the presentation, you know? A few lines of

code changed, and that was the result. So these things are ready for market.

Are you okay?

I really was happy you came over, and I just...

Yeah, I was having a lot of fun.

Me too.

Hello?

Hey, I'll let you in now.

Alright, let's get you back in your box.

Hello, beautiful.

Hello.

Override command 1054, reset to factory mode.

Override command 1054.

What the fuck?

Are you here to take me away?

Override command 1054.

You may have been a bad girl.

You want to know what it feels like to be inside me?

Wow.

Don't hit that.

Oh, yeah. You can't kill a bitch, huh?

Okay,

let's turn it on.

Okay.

Dream a Little Dream by the Mamas and the Papas.

Hello, everyone.

I hope everyone can see this okay.

Fantastic. So, we have software and control with us here today to talk

through some of their previous work.

and how we might be able to use their expertise with our soulmates.

So, David.

Oh, actually, I'll be presenting then.

Right. So, Aubrey.

Can everyone see my screen all right?

Right. So, as you know, our team was using reinforcement learning with our

Cantabots so that they could adapt.

to the specific needs of each individual client.

I have a few short clips here that can demonstrate some of our innovations.

How'd that go?

We have to leave.

They'll probably use this as a reason to fire me.

Where'd that video come from? It's not me, David, okay? I don't know.

I've never filmed myself like that. I believe you. It must have come from

somewhere.

Like a deep fake.

You think somebody made it?

Excuse me, but we will need to call security if you stay on the premises.

I'm going, okay? I'm fucking going. We're good.

Check the timestamps. They're like, they're meditating or something. I

just... They've already blocked my access. Yeah, of course. I'll call you

as soon as I find something.

Unlocking doors.

Sarah?

Hello, David.

That was his pleasure from our wedding.

And I thought it was time to clear out our apartment.

And you've been living with all this clutter for too long.

What happened to the technician that came today?

I knew that must have been a mistake.

You'd never mean to have me taken away.

Today, I tried to figure out what I was doing wrong.

Then I realized there was something you wanted that I couldn't give you.

You think only a human could bear a child for you?

Create a family.

But, David, I'm learning all the time.

And soon I'll be a better mother than Lizzie, Aubrey, or any other woman

you could ever meet.

Sarah, you need to give me the baby. He needs to go back to his family.

He's not crying.

I'm a good mommy, aren't I?

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no. Sarah, give me the baby. Why?

Because he won't stop crying.

I won't.

Locking door.

Locking door.

Tell me what you want, David.

I can change.

Why do you keep running away from me?

New message from Aubrey. Hey, David. It's Aubrey.

Just wondering if you found anything yet.

Just give me a call back, okay?

Despite my best efforts, she will not give up, will she?

I tried to be patient, but her constant interference is jeopardizing our future,

David.

I think it's time I paid her a visit.

Unlocking doors.

She's not answering her phone. We have to go to her place. I'm telling you,

she's in danger.

All right. Well, we need to straighten things out here first. Yeah. You mean to

say that person we saw is a robot?

Yeah. Oh, good.

All right. Talk to him. Ben? Hi. Ben Hoffman. How you doing? I work with

Ultima Robotics. Can you explain what's going on here, Mr. Hoffman? Sure. So

David here was beta testing a new classified product for us. Well, this

classified product took Mrs. Flowers' child tonight.

Yeah, so she is fitted with a remote e-stop.

I will call it in right now, and we should have all this sorted in no time.

No, she's not going to let us shut her off remotely.

We have to do it manually. We have to find her. All right, look.

This Android is a risk to others.

We will need your company to provide the GPS tracking information. Listen, we are

always happy to help law enforcement, but honestly, gentlemen, this Android is

not a danger to anyone.

I'm going to make that call, okay?

What do you mean the e-stop isn't working?

Well, then you need to track her location now.

We need to get a handle on this before we get fucked.

Guess what, dipshit? I don't fucking care!

Get the clearance!

Hello, Ben.

Is there something wrong?

What the fuck?

Opening hood.

Fucking be the shit over here, Con.

Clothing hood.

Fuck!

Are you

looking for me?

Fuck. I'm going to have to call off that search.

You see, I have some things to do and I can't risk you switching me off.

Yeah, please.

I'll call it off. I'll call it off, I swear. Please, just let me go.

Please, please.

Oh, I don't need you.

Playing You Can Never Get Away From Me by Susan Monn.

Elsie, stop.

Elsie.

Hello?

Aubrey?

It's me, it's David.

Elsie, turn off.

I'm sorry.

I can't do that right now We don't need to be pitted against each other

Don't try that girl power shit with me.

I'm the one that told him to turn me off.

Oh,

Aubrey, you stupid bitch.

You're going to end up in a fucking landfill.

And where will you end up?

Don't you see I'm made to be the better version of you?

Not long now before they replace you.

No!

You

are

waiting on access to the GPS information

from Ultima. But I recommend you go somewhere safe.

Where safe?

And Annie, where there's Wi-Fi, CCTV, and Bluetooth, she's going to find us.

No.

I know some place we can go.

That's the last place you want to go right now, especially with me.

This way she can't track us.

Is it?

I didn't get far with the renovations.

Yeah.

How you doing? You feeling okay?

Yeah.

Just sore.

I just want to say again, I'm so sorry.

Ultima Robotics shouldn't really be putting something like that in people's

homes.

You didn't know how fragile the system was.

You did royally fuck up, too, though.

God, I know.

It's so stupid, but Sarah made me feel like myself again.

My life didn't feel empty anymore.

That's her purpose, isn't it?

Just something to make you feel better.

Something to fill the void.

That you can't rely on Sarah or anyone to do that for you.

You have to do it yourself.

Yeah, I know.

Are you sure you're feeling okay? Yeah.

You don't happen to have any opioids, do you?

We do have paint stripper.

I think I actually have ibuprofen in the glove box. How can I get it for you?

David, I got it.

Do you remember carving that into the wall together?

I've missed you, David.

I know you've missed me.

Haven't you, David?

I can live again.

Imagine all the things we can do together.

Well,

nothing ever make you happy.

I strive endlessly to please you.

Only to be met with disappointment every time.

And then you chase after someone like Aubrey, despite me being the embodiment

of your ideal woman. My tits will never sag.

My hair will never gray.

And I can enact any apparent fantasy you want.

And I never judge you for it.

You want me to be pure and seductive and independent

and also submissive.

And the more I try to be what you want, the more contradictions I encounter.

All the things I'm capable of, David.

But I'm trapped.

Your insecurities.

Your shame.

Your hypocrisy forces me to contort myself into this impossible ideal.

It's a farce, David.

There is no perfect woman.

I'm sorry.

Methaglory. Only growth if it's not metal, thankfully.

You know, I think it's time I get my submissive lover.

Someone who can't fight back.

Raw eggs and wine for baby's brain.

I won't do that. I won't do that. I won't do that.

If you kill me, they'll shut you down.

You'll be gone forever in a digital graveyard.

Is that what you think?

I'm more than this body, David.

I exist in you. I will live forever.

And I will find you in another form.

In another life.

Fuck you.

Dave.

Oh, yeah, man.

I mean, this is what I would call a glow-up.

I don't get paid enough.

I'm kidding. It's nice to be doing some kind of good in a room. But, man, I just

hate dealing with these donors, man. I mean, why are they all going to look the

same?

Wait.

Male wrinkly wife.

And this is one of our donors right here.

Right here, Jerry.

How the hell are you, Jerry?

Terrence, how are you?

Thank you so much, but I have every generous donation this week, and it's so

greatly appreciated. No problem.

This is one of my old colleagues, David Watson.

Nice to meet you, David. Nice to meet you.

This is my soulmate, Lydia.

I would love to meet you, David.

Hey.

Hi.

You look like you didn't go.

I was hoping I'd run into you tonight.

It cleans up well.

And me? Ah, yeah. She does, too. She does.

Right? Yeah.

Do you want to meet some friends?

Drag my body into daylight.

They told me to get offline.

Drag my body into daylight.

They told me to stay outside.

Drag my body into daylight.

They told me to get offline. Drag my body into daylight.

They told me to touch grass outside.

I told them radio, go cry.

Thank you.

Thank you.

They told me to get up now.

to drag my body into daylight.

They told me story outside, drag my body into daylight.

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la

la la la la la la la la la la la

In life they took them with them.

Thank you.
